What are the customer's opinions on Keranique?
Customer reviews put Keranique products at about a 4 out of 5 star rating. Unfortunately, the company has a very bad reputation in regards to customer service and hidden chargers. Women who didn't like these products complained that Keranique did nothing at all, made hair loss worse, and/or smelled terrible.
For those who liked this brand, Keranique worked wonders to fix bald spots, increase thickness, and give women back their confidence. Many women immediately noticed a reduction in hair loss/shedding first. Next came the thickening, and finally after several months came the hair growth. It's important to stick with it, especially if you're trying to regrow lost hair. It takes time for hair to grow. Make sure to use the regrowth product twice each day for best results. If you follow instructions property, chances are that you will experience positive results.
Hi my name is Anna, I am 35 years old and married. I have been using Keranique from a few weeks now and I am very satisfied with the result. I was very worried about my hair loss and was trying lots of products but was unable to solve my problem. It was very frustrating for me because I am a housewife and I have to deal with a lot of household works and take care of the children which made it difficult for me to save time to look after my hair. All of this made me worry a lot and one day a friend of mine who was using Keranique recommended me to use it as it is very effective for hair growth. At first I was not satisfied with what she was saying because I had used many products before and they were all good for nothing. But by the way she was describing Keranique's benefits and how she gained so much hair made me curious to give this product a try and I am very happy that I did. This product changed my life. It was so helpful and the results were very satisfying. After the end of the first week the change in my hair growth was slightly different compared to the day I started and I am very happy with the way I look now. I tested Keranique for four weeks to check the results. The fourth week was the week which showed me the final results and believe me when I say that the result were really unexpected for me. By the end of the fourth week my hair were fully grown. In four weeks Keranique did something for me that always seemed impossible, I had no more hair loss problem and my life was totally changed. I was feeling like wow. My husband loves me more than before and it feels like I have a new confidence level now. If you are still doubtful about the miraculous effects of Keranique then you should give it a try for once. You may have used many products and are even unsatisfied by their results but I highly recommend to all the people who are worried about hair loss problem to use Keranique and be astonished by the results.
Hello everyone my name is Martha and I am 36 years old and a house wife. As being a house wife I am mostly at home doing the household work. I have no children so it is just me and my husband that live in the house. My husband goes to work in the morning and after finish all the work it is my hobby to surf the internet and look for amazing offers on new products, cosmetics, clothes etc. As a regular user of the internet I read many reviews about Keranique products. Most of those reviews were positive but some were also negative. I am myself a person who is suffering from hair loss problem and am looking for a way to get rid of it. I used to read daily about some products and even tried some of them but with no results. Keranique has become very popular in the last few months and the TV shows, commercials and the internet are loaded with the stories of its benefits so I decided to give it a try. I ordered on the internet for a Keranique products. The products were delivered on time with a very good customer service and a money back guarantee. I have used Keranique for myself and I will be very honest in my review that it did no wonders for me. I am not saying that it had no effect because I noticed some change after 2 weeks of its use but I am not satisfied because I want something that works quickly for me because I am a very impatient person and I for me using Keranique required a lot of patience. It made my hair feel soft and healthy but as I said I am a very impatient person and it took time. The customer service was very good and helpful and I was even able to use my money-back guarantee which was also delivered on time.
My name is Santiago and I am 26 years old. I am student and also I do a part time job to increase my pocket money. I was always a person who likes to wear beautiful head bands and other hair accessories but then I started having the problem of hair fall and I had to stop the use of hair accessories. I was very sad because I thought that I will not be able to wear anything in my hairs for the rest of my life. I started using hair products but they did nothing for me but I knew it in somewhere in my heart that I was going to solve this problem. One day my aunt came and saw me suffering from hair loss problem. She told me not to worry and to use Keranique products for hair growth. She then showed me her hair which were so beautiful that I cannot explain. I had only one goal and that was to get rid of my hair fall problem and to wear the beautiful hair accessories again so I started using Keranique as she recommended me to. I used to follow the instructions and apply these amazing products daily without any gap. After three weeks I was amazed to see that the empty patches of hair were filled and my hair looked even better than before. I was very happy and I knew it that all this increase in the hair growth rate is due to Keranique. I continued using Keranique products. After the end of the second moth I had the most beautiful hair in the world and all my worried were gone. I was very happy and amazed by the results and continued using this marvelous product for four months until I achieved my goal and now I can wear anything I want on my hair without worrying about damaging them.
Hi, my name Polly and I am 24 years old. I am a student and I also work for a company as a part time job, so I have a very busy schedule with no time to spare to look after my hair. Excessive hair loss has been my problem for years and no matter what I did to get rid of it at the end of the day it was same as before. The reason of my hair loss is that I have to work in the market and there is a lot of dust and unhealthy things that damages the hair. Whenever I come home from a long tiring day of work and college I am exhausted and all I want at that time is a large snack and sleep, so I don't have that much time to look after my hair properly by mixing and using different ingredients and products. The days went by and I was the still disappointed by my hair loss problem when one day a friend of mine suggested me to use Keranique product because her sister was using it and it worked for her. At first I didn't believe her because I was skeptical about such products after trying so many of them without any result but then I decided to give it a try. I followed the instructions mentioned on it carefully and started using the product daily. In the first two weeks the change was quite visible which made me very happy and I felt amazing. The most wonderful feeling about all this was that I my hair were growing back and without even sacrificing my daily routine work. Now I am using the products two time a day and the effect has increased for me. Overall, this has been my life's best product that I have purchased for hair growth and a person like me who has a busy life and cannot try difficult homemade remedies daily should surely use Keranique to get rid of the hair fall problem and to achieve good, healthy, strong and beautiful hair. It has changed me into a new person and it will surely change you to.


The United States were founded on the principles of freedom for all it's citizens, including that of religious freedom.
From the declaration that "...all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." To the Constitution in the establishment of our government that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" the right for individuals to be treated equally, with the same access and opportunity allowed to all individuals is an ideal makes this country great.
As the years have passed since this those words were written, many churches have enjoyed great success weaving their moral beliefs into 'acceptable' cultural prejudices (race, gender, sexual orientation, even other religions, etc), claiming their right to discriminate based on 'Religious Freedom'.
Now, as the voices of the people that have been subjected to intolerance, discrimination and prejudice have become louder - demanding only the same rights as the rest - some churches have the arrogance say that THEIR religious freedom is now being compromised.
Freedom is the right for all to choose for themselves. For religious freedom, that means someone may choose to believe something you don't. And that is the beauty of it.
It is up to all of us to defend the meaning of all freedoms, not just the ones that fall into our beliefs.

The London Metal Exchange is set to announce a new chief executive, as it prepares to embark on a discussion over reform of the 140-year-old exchange.
The Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing-owned exchange had a meeting of its board in London on Wednesday, according to people familiar with the matter.
The market favourite for the post is 35-year-old current interim chief executive Matthew Chamberlain. The search has been conducted by Sir Brian Bender, chairman of the LME.
Mr Chamberlain has spearheaded a discussion paper that is expected to go out soon that solicits opinions on a wide-ranging reform of the exchange.
Trading volumes on the LME have been falling for the past two years, putting pressure on its owner HKEx, who bought the exchange for $2.2bn in 2012. Average daily volumes on the LME fell by 4.6 per cent in the first quarter.
The discussion paper includes proposals for a standard monthly trading contract, according to people with knowledge of the document. The LME currently uses a rolling three-monthly contract, making it more difficult for electronic traders compared to exchanges in the US and China.
People with knowledge of the process say the LME conducted an extensive search for a new CEO to replace Garry Jones, who unexpectedly quit in January. It looked at both internal and external candidates. This included member firms, rival exchanges and financial institutions.
The LME has also appointed an external public relations advisers to assist with its communications. The exchange faced a firestorm of criticism from members in 2015 when it changed its fee structure. It latter backtracked and cut the fees for one of its most popular trades.

Thomas Markle Begging Meghan For A Second Chance After Heartbreaking Fallout
Source: Tim Clayton/Corbis via Getty Images; Mirrorpix / MEGA
By:Rosa Sanchez
Jan. 4 2019, Updated 9:54 a.m. ET
About six months since she cut her father, Thomas Markle, out of her life, Meghan Markle is getting ready to welcome her first child with Prince Harry, and her estranged parent is set on getting the broken family back together.
"Thomas is praying Meghan will give him one last chance this holiday season," an insider recently told Milan's Grazia magazine. "He's clinging to the fact that Christmas was such a special time for them growing up, and hoping against hope that her heart will soften and she'll at least pick up the phone and patch things up."
RadarOnline.com readers know Meghan, 37, stopped talking to Thomas, 74, after he made a series of embarrassing comments about her, Harry, 34, and the royal family in a string of paid interviews. He also allegedly lied about his health following a staged photo scandal and failed to attend his daughter's luxurious wedding.
Despite all the drama, however, Thomas has continually said that he is sorry for what he did, adding that he needs his beloved daughter in his life.
"He's growing impatient and there's talk of more blabbing if he doesn't get some encouragement very soon. When you see Samantha piping up with more ramblings, it's usually a signal he's not far behind," said the source.
Royal biographer Robert Johnson — who traveled with Harry and Meghan on their recent royal tour — said that he asked the couple whether they had alerted Thomas about their pregnancy, to which they replied, "No comment."
Insiders believe there is a deep reason for Meghan's rejection of her father, but Robert does not know what it is. "It seems very complicated; families are difficult. But this one won't go away," he told the outlet.
While Robert does not believe Meghan's relationship with half-sister Samantha is repairable, he thinks all the Duchess of Sussex and her dad need is an honest conversation.
"Thomas has been badly treated and he's made his position clear," he said. "It's sometimes as though Meghan doesn't want anything to do with her past. But, the fact remains: he's her dad."
Now that Meghan is getting ready to welcome her first child with Harry and move into a new royal mansion, her father is hoping she will find it in her heart to let him back in.
"Thomas is now praying for a Christmas reprieve. He can act bullish after being frozen out in such a brutal fashion, and he goes through moments where he wants to speak out again. But then common sense takes over and he realizes it'll only drive him further away. He wants a call by Christmas and is desperate not to give up hope," said Robert.

What is a Volcanologist?
A volcanologist is a highly educated specialist in geophysics who studies active and inactive volcanoes. Active volcanoes are studied to understand the movement and formation of molten rock (or magma) deep under the earth's surface. Inactive volcanoes have rock formations that were created by eruptions tens of thousands of years ago, and are a great source of information and detective work for volcanologists.
This career is not a 'typical' career, in that the job tasks can vary a great deal. There will be days when volcanologists will watch volcanoes erupt, days when they'll be doing paperwork at the office, days when they'll be flying in a helicopter and installing instruments, and days when they'll be attending scientific conferences.
What is the workplace of a Volcanologist like?
The goal of a volcanologist is to understand how and why volcanoes erupt, how to predict future eruptions, their impacts on the history of our earth, and how they may affect humans and their environment. Most of a volcanologists' work is done by either studying dead or dormant volcanoes, or by keeping track of active or reawakening volcanoes. They will then publish or present their findings in an easy to understand way for the general public.
There are four major groups of study and types of volcanologists:
Physical volcanologists
- study and gather data of the actual processes and deposits of volcanic eruptions, giving volcanologists information about where and how volcanoes are likely to erupt
Geophysicists
- mainly deal with volcanic seismicity, gravity and magnetics, and can either spend most of their time outdoors studying various features of the earth, or indoors using computers for calculations and modeling
Geodesic Volcanologists
- look at how explosions and lava flow change or deform the shape of the earth and produce new and different earth formations. Much time is spent doing research, taking measurements, and collecting samples from dead or dormant volcanoes.
Geochemists
- deal with the structure, composition, and processes that make up the earth, as well as volcanic products, such as emitted gases and the distribution of chemical elements in rocks and minerals. They also study the movement of these elements into our soil and water systems.
Are you suited to be a volcanologist?
Volcanologists have distinct personalities. They tend to be investigative individuals, which means they're intellectual, introspective, and inquisitive. They are curious, methodical, rational, analytical, and logical. Some of them are also artistic, meaning they're creative, intuitive, sensitive, articulate, and expressive.

Volcanologists are employed by government agencies, universities and private industry. Work can take volcanologists hiking through mountains in all kinds of weather and going to the mouth of volcanoes to collect samples. They also spend a lot of time collecting and analyzing samples of debris, rocks and other products from extinct volcanoes. There is also lab and office work to be done; looking through microscopes, and analyzing mineral elements from rock formations.
Volcanologists are also known as:

Children of the Northlights
by Edgar Parin D'Aulaire, Ingri D'Aulaire
Publisher: University of Minnesota
Reprint, ©2012, ISBN: 9780816679232
Hardcover, 40 pages
List Price: $16.95 Sale Price: $14.41
From the beloved authors of D'Aulaires' Book of Norse Myths and other classics comes a new edition of one of Ingri and Edgar Parin d'Aulaires's most beguiling children's books. Long out of print, Children of the Northlights introduces readers young and old to siblings Lise and Lasse and to the captivating Sami people and culture of northern Scandinavia. At times mischievous and at others quite courageous, Lisa and Lasse, and their Sami culture, are brought brilliantly to life in the d'Aulaires' illustrations.
This remarkable sister and brother live at the very top of Norway—to Lise and Lasse, seemingly at the very top of the world. All bundled up against the polar winter in their coats of fur and furry shoes, they look at times like two little bears rolling in the snow. Beneath the bright dancing of the northern lights, we follow Lise and Lasse as they enjoy the long winter days and polar nights: playing pranks on their family, chasing and playing with their reindeer Silverside and Snowwhitedeer, skiing, taking hot saunas to stay clean, and staying warm while snowstorms rage across the land. Lise and Lasse hunker down in their warm tent and wait for the sun to return, which, of course, it always does. When the sun comes back in spring, it's time to go to school in the village (which Lise and Lasse happily do only after instructing their dogs to take very good care of Silverside and Snowwhitedeer while they're away).
Inspired directly by a remarkable journey the d'Aulaires took to northern Europe and their time spent among the Sami, Children of the Northlights is a brightly illustrated portrait and celebration of the Sami people, culture, and snow-covered landscapes of the frozen north, from two of the twentieth century's greatest storytellers.

Q: backbone.stickit not updating with model change I have a backbone.sticket binding attached to a model associated with a mainView view:
bindings: -> {
        ".some-class": "someAttribute",
    }

and the following template

The attribute populates correctly, but when I attempt to edit someAttribute in the browser console:
router.mainView.model.attributes.someAttribute = "TEST"

nothing changes in the binding, even though typing
router.mainView.model.attributes.someAttribute
into the browser console returns "TEST" as expected.
Should I expect the content of the div to be changing in the browser as well?

A: Sticket is presumably event based and Backbone events don't work that. If you edit a model's attributes by hand, nothing in Backbone will know what happened so no events will be triggered. If you want events to be triggered, you need to use set:
router.mainView.model.set('someAttribute', 'TEST')
// or
router.mainView.model.set({ someAttribute: 'TEST' })

Either of those should generate "change" events and that's probably what Sticket uses to hook itself up.

Q: Derived Composite Key using JPA 1.0 Annotations (composite key-many-to-one)
I have a simple relationship as shown in the diagram above.
I can persist this using the following Hibernate Mapping:
<class name="Strategy" table="Strategy">
    <id name="id" column="StrategyId" unsaved-value="any">
        <generator class="identity"/>
    </id>
    <property name="status" column="Status"/>
</class>

<class name="Alert" table="Alert">
    <id name="id" column="AlertId">
        <generator class="identity"/>
    </id>
    <property name="name" column="Name"/>
</class>

<class name="StrategyAlert" table="StrategyAlert">
    <composite-id>
        <key-many-to-one name="strategy" class="Strategy" column="StrategyId"/>
        <key-many-to-one name="alert" class="Alert" column="AlertId"/>
    </composite-id>
    <property name="nominal" column="Nominal"/>
</class>

I am having a really hard time trying to figure out how to do this using Annotations in JPA 1.0.
Here's what I've got so far:
Alert Class:
@Entity
@Table(name="ALERT")
public class Alert implements Serializable {

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    @Column(name="ALERTID")
    private int id;

    @Column(name="NAME")
    private String name;
}

Strategy Class:
@Entity
@Table(name="STRATEGY")
public class Strategy implements Serializable {

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    @Column(name="STRATEGYID")
    private int id;

    @Column(name="STATUS")
    private String status;
}

StrategyAlertPK class:
public class StrategyAlertPK implements Serializable {

    private int strategyId;
    private int alertId;
}

StrategyAlert class:
@Entity
@Table(name="STRATEGYALERT")
@IdClass(StrategyAlertPK.class)
public class StrategyAlert implements Serializable {

    @Id
    @Column(name="STRATEGYID")
    private int strategyId;

    @Id
    @Column(name="ALERTID")
    private int alertId;

    @ManyToOne
    @JoinColumn(name="STRATEGYID", insertable=false, updatable=false)
    private Strategy strategy;

    @ManyToOne
    @JoinColumn(name="ALERTID", insertable=false, updatable=false)
    private Alert alert;

    @Column
    private String nominal;
}

Test Case:
em.getTransaction().begin();
Alert alert = new Alert();
alert.setName("NAME");
em.persist(alert);

Strategy strategy = new Strategy();
strategy.setStatus("STATUS");
em.persist(strategy);

StrategyAlert strategyAlert = new StrategyAlert();
strategyAlert.setAlert(alert);
strategyAlert.setStrategy(strategy);
strategyAlert.setNominal("NOMINAL");
em.persist(strategyAlert);
em.getTransaction().commit();

I'm getting the following error:
Referential integrity constraint violation: "FK80432DA9CE00672E: PUBLIC.STRATEGYALERT FOREIGN KEY(STRATEGYID) REFERENCES PUBLIC.STRATEGY(STRATEGYID) (0)
I'm using <property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="create" /> to generate the tables.
How do I annotate the StrategyAlert class correctly?

A: Take a look at this questions: How to implement a complex many to many relationship in JPA?
I think the problem here is you have to join the Id declaration and the manyToOne declaration as described in JPA 1, I can´t test the code right now, but more or less it has to be like this
@Entity
@Table(name="STRATEGYALERT")
@IdClass(StrategyAlertPK.class)
public class StrategyAlert implements Serializable {
   @Id
   @ManyToOne
   @JoinColumn(name="STRATEGYID", insertable=false, updatable=false)
   private Strategy strategy;

   @Id
   @ManyToOne
   @JoinColumn(name="ALERTID", insertable=false, updatable=false)
   private Alert alert;

   @Column
   private String nominal;

   // TODO Getters and setters
}

With that code your test is running OK (I tested it with JPA 1.0.1, Hibernate 3.3.1.GA and spring 2.5.5). I am using H2 as memory database so I had to change Identity to AUTO in generated values, maybe you don´t need to do that.
Hope helps!

A: I have found a solution but I don't think this is the correct way to do it.
I have a static nested class for the ID.  Then in both setter methods I also set the ID.  This seems a very manual way to do it and surely there must be a better way?

Larquebisbat de Bourges (francès: Archidiocèse de Bourges, llatí: Archidioecesis Bituricensis) és una seu de l'Església Catòlica a França, sufragània de l'arquebisbat de Tours. Al 2012 tenia 502.700 batejats sobre una població de 549.900 habitants. Actualment està regida per l'arquebisbe Armand Maillard.

Territori
L'arxidiòcesi comprèn els departaments francesos de Cher i de l'Indre.

La seu episcopal és la ciutat de Bourges, on es troba la catedral de Sant Esteve.

El territori s'estén sobre 14.210 km², i està dividit en 64 parròquies, agrupades en 12 vicariats.

Els principals llocs de pelegrinatge de l'arxidiòcesi són:
 Nostra Senyora de Déols, a Châteauroux, que data del . L'església va ser consagrada pel papa Pasqual II. El papa Alexandre III a l'exili hi va viure i conèixer Enric II d'Anglaterra; també el papa Honori III va visitar el santuari;
 Nostra Senyora de la Bona Mort a Fontgombault;
 el santuari de Sainte-Solange; la santa va néixer el 862 a Villemont, a tres llegües de Bourges i hauria patit el martiri el 875 per preservar la seva virginitat;
 Nostra Senyora del Sagrat Cor a Issoudun, on el sacerdot Jean Jules Chevalier, mossèn de la ciutat, va fundar la congregació dels Missioners del Sagrat Cor de Jesús i de les Filles de Nostra Senyora del Sagrat Cor;
 Nostra Senyora de Pellevoisin, famosa per les aparicions que haurien tingut lloc el 1876.

Història
L'arxidiòcesi va ser erigida al . Segons la tradició, el primer bisbe va ser Sant Ursino, evangelitzador de la regió històrica de Berry, que s'esmentà en dues ocasions en les obres de Gregori de Tours. El díptics de l'arxidiòcesi esmenten deu bisbes després Sant Ursino, que precedeixen el primer bisbe històricament documentat de Bourges, Leone, que va signar el 4 d'octubre de 453 les actes del Concili d'Angers.

Biturigi va ser la capital de la província romana de l'Aquitània prima, com ho demostra la Notitia Galliarum de principis del . Amb l'organització eclesiàstica, Biturigi esdevingué, a més del centre administratiu de la regió, la seu metropolitana de la província eclesiàstica, modelada en la civil, que incloïa les diòcesis sufragànies de Clermont, Rodez, Albi, Cahors, Llemotges, Mende i Le Puy.

A l'edat mitjana es va produir una disputa entre les seus metropolitanes de Bordeus i Bourges pel que feia a la pretensió de Bourges sobre la primacia d'Aquitània. El tema ha estat clarament establerta pels estudiosos moderns, que han establert que la carta del papa Nicolau I a Rodolf (864), atès que l'existència de la primacia de Bourges al  i que qualifica l'arquebisbe amb el títol de patriarcha, no és autèntic. Com a capital de l'Aquitània Prima, Bourges aspirava antigament a la preeminència sobre les províncies d'Aquitània segona i d'Aquitània tercera i, per tant, també a Bordeus. Cap a 1073 aquestes aspiracions genèriques van prendre forma de reclamacions; entre 1112 i 1126 el papat els va reconèixer i el 1146 el papa Eugeni III va conferir la primacia de Pierre de La Châtre, arquebisbe de Bourges, sobre Bordeus.

Al , dos papes van visitar Bourges: Pasqual II el 1107 i Alexandre III el 1163. Al segle següent van tenir lloc dos dels concilis regionals més importants de Bourges, els de 1225 i 1226 que van condemnar els albigesos.

L'any 1195 van començar a construir la catedral d'estil gòtic; va ser consagrat per l'arquebisbe Guillaume de Brosse el 13 de maig de 1324.

El 1232 el Gregori IX va concedir l'arquebisbe de Bourges, com a patriarca, el dret de visitar la província d'Aquitània, i va imposar a l'arquebisbe de Bordeus el deure d'assistir, almenys una vegada, als concilis organitzats per l'arquebisbe de Bourges i va establir que les mesures de l'arquebisbe de Bordeus podien ser recorregudes a l'arquebisbe de Bourges. Quan ocasionalment el 1240 i el 1284, els arquebisbes de Bourges van anar a Bordeus, es van trobar amb les portes de les esglésies tancades i van respondre amb l'excomunió a les protestes del clergat de Bordeus davant les seves visites.

Quan França va perdre l'Aquitània per anul·lació del matrimoni de Lluís VII i Leonor d'Aquitània, que s'havia celebrat a la catedral de Bordeus el 1137, Bordeus va esdevenir la capital de les possessions angleses a Aquitània. Llavors, la disputa entre les seus metropolitanes de Bordeus i Bourges va assumir un caràcter polític i el rei de França va començar a donar suport a les reivindicacions de Bourges.

El papa Climent V (1305-14) es va oposar a les reivindicacions de Bourges. Esdevingut papa, malgrat les seves simpaties franceses, va perseguir el disseny de l'emancipació de Bordeus des de Bourges.

El 1327 l'arxidiòcesi tenia 733 parròquies. Al , la província eclesiàstica es va engrandir amb les noves diòcesis, establertes per Joan XXII, de Saint-Flour, de Vabres i de Castres

El 1438 es va celebrar a Bourges un altre concili important que, després de l'aprovació de la Pragmàtica Sanció del rei Carles VII, va intentar establir una església gal·licana autònoma de Roma. Durant l'episcopat de Jean Cœur, a la segona meitat del segle XV es va fundar la Universitat de Bourges.

El 1528 un concili a Bourges va condemnar els hugonots, que eren favorits de la universitat de procedència de Joan Calví i Théodore de Bèze. El 1603 l'arxidiòcesi tenia 772 parròquies, que esdevindrien 801 el 1776 i 796 el dia abans de la Revolució francesa, quan es van agrupar en nou ardiaconats i vint arxiprestats.

El 3 d'octubre de 1678, amb la promoció a seu metropolitana de la diòcesi d'Albi, la província eclesiàstica de Bourges va perdre les diòcesi sufragània de Rodez, Castres, Vabres, Cahors i Mende.

Seguint el concordat de 1801 amb la butlla Qui Christi Domini de Pius VII, l'arxidiòcesi es va expandir i incorporar el territori de la diòcesi de Nevers, que va ser suprimida.

El 6 d'octubre de 1822, en virtut de la butlla Paternae caritatis del mateix Pius VII, es va restablir la diòcesi de Nevers, que va prendre el territori de l'arxidiòcesi de Bourges. Al mateix temps, es va reestructurar la província eclesiàstica de Bourges, incloent les sufragànies de Clermont, Llemotges, Le Puy, Tulle i Saint-Flour.

Després del sínode de 1990, el 1994 el territori de l'arxidiòcesi va ser replantejat i el nombre de parròquies es va reduir de més de 500 a 64.

Després de la reorganització de les circumscripcions eclesiàstiques franceses del 8 de desembre de 2002, Bourges ja no és més una seu metropolitana, tot i que manté alhora la dignitat d'arquebisbe i és ara part de la província eclesiàstica de l'arxidiòcesi de Tours.

Cronologia episcopal
Bourges és una de les poques seus episcopals a França de les quals es conserven els díptics d'ivori originals. A l'interior, al , va ser escrit amb tinta el catàleg episcopal, amb addicions posteriors, fins a Simó de Beaulieu (1281-1294). Avui dia, els díptics són pràcticament il·legibles, però hem rebut diverses còpies del catàleg.

El més antic és aquell transcrit en un manuscrit de la darreria del  i arriba fins al bisbe Audebert de Montmorillon († 1096). Cap a la meitat del  el canonge Etienne de Gallardon va redactar una altra còpia, ara conservada al cartulari del capítol. En el moment de l'arquebisbe Roger li Fort (mitjans del segle XIV) es va elaborar una còpia oficial en pergamí, col·locada dins dels díptics: Aquesta còpia del catàleg es va mantenir fins a finals del segle XVIII.

El catàleg episcopal també mostra els anys del seu pontificat per a cada arquebisbe, però les inconsistències i anacronismes són tals  que, fins a mitjan , no arriba a ser completament fiable.

Manchester City held off an unlikely Leicester comeback to clinch a ninth successive Premier League win in thrilling style and move six points clear at the top of the table
Athletic Bilbao 0-2 Real Madrid: Luka Modric scores in Super Cup final win
Rafael Benitez: Everton sack manager after less than seven months in charge
Philippe Coutinho scored a late equaliser on his Aston Villa debut as Steven Gerrard's side fought back from two goals down to draw a pulsating Premier League duel with Manchester United at Villa Park.
Kevin de Bruyne produced a moment of world-class quality to tighten Manchester City's stranglehold on the Premier League title race with victory over Chelsea at Etihad Stadium.
It looked like the defending champions had wrapped up the points after only 25 minutes as they led a depleted Foxes side 4-0, with a penalty apiece by Riyad Mahrez and Raheem Sterling on top of strikes by Kevin de Bruyne and Ilkay Gundogan.
Leicester had other ideas, however, with three goals in the space of 10 second-half minutes from James Maddison, Ademola Lookman and Kelechi Iheanacho giving them hope.
A header by Aymeric Laporte restored order and gave the home side much-needed breathing space, before Sterling's second made sure of the points late on, but what had started out as a walk in the park will be remembered as a much sterner test for the league leaders.
Foxes hit by early onslaught
With second-placed Liverpool not in action after a Covid outbreak forced the postponement of their game with Leeds, this was a chance for Pep Guardiola's side to open up a significant gap on their nearest rivals, and they were quickly into their stride.
The Foxes had already been fortunate to survive some fierce early pressure when they allowed De Bruyne time to bring down Fernandinho's hoisted pass into the area and he made no mistake with a precise finish.
Mahrez made it 2-0 from the spot soon afterwards when Youri Tielemans hauled down Laporte at a corner and Gundogan added a third after Kasper Schmeichel could only palm Joao Cancelo's cross into his path.
Sterling added a fourth after just 25 minutes, stepping up to take the penalty himself after Tielemans had chopped him down, and with the home side in such ruthless mood, it appeared it was just a case of how many more goals would follow.
Instead, it was Leicester who provided the sparkling attacking play after the break, and for a while a remarkable fightback looked on the cards.
The Foxes' first goal was down to a slip by Oleksandr Zinchenko, allowing Maddison to dart clear, exchange passes with Iheanacho and slot home.
Iheanacho set up their second goal too, this time sliding Lookman clear to fire past Ederson, before getting on the scoresheet himself to continue his side's comeback.
Ederson did well to tip Maddison's shot onto the bar but the rebound fell kindly for Iheanacho, who made no mistake from close range.
That stunned everyone inside Etihad Stadium, including the travelling Leicester fans who had been chanting in jest about winning 5-4 when their first goal had gone in.
Manchester City's wobble did not last long, however, with Laporte rising to nod home Mahrez's corner five minutes later, and Sterling was in the right place to turn in a Ruben Dias knockdown before the end of a remarkable match.
A surprise to see Manchester City lose control
Manchester City have torn plenty of defences apart in recent weeks – going into this game they had scored 24 goals during their run of victories, including a 7-0 thrashing of Leeds – so their latest display of scintillating attacking play was not exactly a surprise.
What was unexpected was the response that followed from a Leicester side missing many of their regulars because of injury, and how easily they found a way through their hosts.
Guardiola's side have the best defensive record in the country, but for a spell in the second half they were left chasing shadows and ended up conceding as many goals in 10 minutes as they had in their previous eight league games.
Leicester could have had more too – their manager Brendan Rodgers leapt into the air when Marc Albrighton headed wide from close range with the score at 5-3, because he thought it was in.
The Foxes have had a difficult season so far, with a lack of consistency and continuing defensive issues even before this latest bout of injuries, but they at least gave their supporters something to sing about on an entertaining afternoon.
The home fans probably appreciated the second-half drama a little less, but this was a reminder at the halfway point of the season that that they cannot always expect everything to go their way.

Where to see Gorillas in Rwanda?
Carry along with rain gear.
Insect repellent.
Recommended clothing – long trousers and long-sleeved sweaters or shirts while in the forest to avoid insect and plant stings.
Sturdy hiking boots are essential, especially ones you have used before.
Drinking Water, however eating, drinking, and smoking near the gorillas are strictly forbidden. Your guide will communicate the designated time and place.
Photography is permitted, although you must not use flash.
Porters are available to help you carry your day-pack for a small charge.
You will not be allowed to trek gorillas if you have a communicable disease like flu or cough.
Mountain gorillas live at high altitudes and this may cause difficulties in hiking up for some visitors. You should pace yourself, walk slowly, drink plenty of water and prepare adequately for this experience. Deks Uganda Safaris will purchase your gorilla trekking permits for you in advance for proper planning.
The Virunga Mountains that straddle the borders of Rwanda, Uganda, and Congo are home to around 480 mountain gorillas. More than half of the world's entire population; the rest live in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest national park in Uganda. In Volcanoes National Park, the Rwandan part of the Virunga, ten gorilla groups are currently habituated for gorilla safaris in Rwanda. More than anywhere else in the world.
Look into the eyes of a large silverback mountain gorilla and he'll look back with a thoughtful, intelligent gaze, mindful that you're another individual. Any apprehensions or nerves you might have had during your trek will melt away the minute you see your mountain gorilla family. Gorilla trekking safaris in Rwanda offer a magical encounter that transcends any other "wildlife" experience we know.
Gorilla trekking safaris in Rwanda can be done throughout the year. The trekking itself can be more arduous in the rainy seasons, during April–May and in November. But at an altitude of 2,000m and more above sea level, it can of course rain here at any time of the year. For more details, see Rwanda's climate.
The most popular times for gorilla trekking safaris in Rwanda are during the drier months. Between December and February, and from about June to mid-September.
Securing permits for trekking gorillas, especially during the popular periods, can be difficult at short notice, so you should plan well ahead. Deks Uganda Safaris will make all the arrangements for buying your permits.
No more than 96 gorilla trekking permits are available each day, each costing US$1,500 per person for a one-hour visit. Travelers who are also spending a minimum of three days in either Nyungwe Forest National Park or Akagera National Park between November and May are entitled to a 30% discount, reducing the costs to US$1,050 per person.
Amongst other things, the gorilla permits pay for a 24-hour guard for each gorilla group (armed teams constantly track each habituated group – like royal bodyguards in the UK!). The fees also help to strengthen conservation efforts and to support the development of local communities.
You don't have to be super-fit for a gorilla trekking safaris tour in Rwanda, but it does help if you have a general level of fitness. If only to enhance your overall enjoyment of the experience.
Depending on which group you track, and the time of year you go (gorillas tend to move down the mountains in the rains). You might find yourself walking on some pretty steep slopes for several hours.
On the other hand, you could reach your group after a 30-minute stroll. Either way, walking will be at a slow pace, with time for breaks if needed. But it's best to be prepared for the most active option, and if nothing else. A few hills walk before you leave home would be beneficial.
Paths on gorilla treks can be slippery, muddy, and steep so sturdy walking boots are essential. Some people take thick gardening gloves because of the brambles and nettles along the way, and you should wear long trousers rather than shorts.
A waterproof jacket may come in handy and take some water and a snack in case it's a long trek. You might also find a walking stick or pole helpful; these are available at the start of the trek.
For a small fee of around US$10
Porters are available at the trailheads to carry your backpacks and to offer a hand during tricky parts of the hike. Even if you don't need this service, hiring a porter is a helpful way to contribute directly to the local economy. And chatting to them as you walk can broaden your understanding of local life as well as enhance your gorilla trek.
For keen photographers, a camera is a must: taking your pictures of mountain gorillas is one of the most magical photo sessions you'll ever experience. It's as well to remember that the light can be poor in the rainforest and that use of flash is not permitted. You might also need to protect your camera against heavy rain.
Whilst a gorilla trekking safaris in Rwanda tour is likely to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for most visitors. The staff at Volcanoes National Park have years of experience behind them. So treks to see the mountain gorillas are well organized and structured.
Having been allocated a specific group of "habituated" mountain gorillas. You'll walk in groups of no more than eight people, the distance and terrain determined by the location of "your" group. The pace is unhurried, but be aware that the slopes are often steep, and the altitude, at over 2,500m, can be tiring.
Any apprehension you may feel is likely to vanish when you see the gorillas as they go about their day-to-day routines, feeding. Interacting with each other – and even watching you with interest. All the same, it's important to bear in mind that they are vulnerable to such things as human colds. So there are strict rules in place to protect them.
The various Gorilla groups and their locations will change from time to time. Mountain gorillas often climb higher in the dry season and descend during the rains. They might move on due to pressure from wild gorillas, and individuals will often join other groups.
When tracking gorillas, it's possible to request to visit a specific group once you are at the park headquarters, but this can never be guaranteed. These are some of the families currently habituated for gorilla safaris in Volcanoes National Park:
Originally studied by Dian Fossey, the Susa Group – also known as the Kurita Group – is the largest. With 38 individuals, including three silverbacks. In the summer months in particular it can be a tough trek to reach the Susa Group high up on Mount Karisimbi. But it's well worth the effort because of their number and because, uniquely, it has a set of twins, a very rare occurrence in the world of gorillas.
Sabyinyo Group
The Sabyinyo Group has about 17 individuals, including two silverback gorillas, one of which, Guhonda, is the largest in the park. The group is usually found relatively close to the edge of the forest (about 20–a 40-minutes' walk), between Sabyinyo and Gahinga.
Agashya Group
Also known by its former name Group Thirteen, was re-named when the dominant silverback Agashya won leadership over Nyakairima in 2010. The group usually lives close to the Sabyinyo Group but can range very far and high. It numbers about 22 gorillas.
Usually living between the Karisoke and Bisoke peaks are the Amahoro Group. Its 19 individuals under the calm leadership of Ubumwe, and the Umubano Group, which currently has 13 members. Both are usually further away from the headquarters than the Sabyinyo and Agasha groups, but easier to reach than the Susa Group.
Kwitonda Group
The Kwitonda Group has around 23 members and was habituated in the DRC. Having crossed the border into Rwanda in 2005, the group is known to have a much wider range than others. It was named for their dominant silverback, Kwitonda, who died in 2012; silverback Akarevuro is now in charge.
Hirwa Group
The Hirwa Group, meaning "lucky", has around 18 gorillas, which came together from the Agashya and Sabyinyo groups. The group includes one silverback and one of only a few surviving pairs of mountain gorilla twins, Isango Gakuru and Isango Gato.
Volcanoes National Park (Parc Nationale des Volcans–PNV) is found in a chain of volcanoes that is home to the world's few remaining mountain gorillas.
While the main focus of interest for most visitors in the Volcanoes National Park is Gorilla tracking. The park has got more than 200 bird species with a local vulnerable swamp-dwelling species; the Grauer's rush warbler. While at least 16 Albertine Rift endemic are present, including handsome francolin, Rwenzori turaco, Rwenzori double collared sunbird, and others.
Besides gorillas, various mammal species can be seen in the forested national park. In Volcanoes National Park other activities can be done; such as nature walks. Hiking which is now well organized, from a one-day ascent of Karisimbi to a non-strenuous nature walk to a cluster of craters later. But the most exciting innovation is that tourists can now visit habituated troop of the near-endemic golden monkey.


And P.S. - The garlic is starting to come up!
We had our first real freeze on the night of November 11. I knew it was coming, so set out my plant-protecting infrastructure.
I set the cold frames over the mesclun and a few less-hardy lettuces and other greens. I have tall hoops over the kale, Swiss chard and Brussels sprouts, so I covered them with row cover. Overall they're pretty hardy anyway, so I wasn't too worried about them. And I threw row cover over the onions and escarole.
I went out to check on everything the next morning, and initially I was afraid I might have made some miscalculations. Everything was frozen solid. All the greens were frozen, the leek leaves were frozen solid and even the row cover was frozen into a hard sheet. I'd never seen this before, so I started to worry. The leeks especially got me, because I know I've harvested them out of the snow on much colder days than a night that dipped into the 20s.
Then I remembered the rain. It had rained all day before it got cold, so everything was covered in a layer of water when the temperature dropped.
When I checked on everything later in the day, they had thawed out and were completely fine. The escarole got burned in a few places around the edges where the row cover had blown off and it was exposed, but even that damage was very very minimal. So – success! We can successfully weather a freeze.
I'll probably keep the row cover and cold frames on for the indefinite future, unless the temperature is really going to warm up. I'll have to regularly vent the cold frames in the mornings, though, so I don't end up with fried greens like I did to my carrots and beets in the spring.
So here we are, in mid-November, still harvesting fresh foods out of the garden. I set a goal at the beginning of the year to work towards feeding ourselves from the garden from April through November, and we have already achieved that just with our fresh foods. On top of that we have storage crops like sweet potatoes and butternut squash, and preserved foods like canned tomato sauces and frozen shredded summer squash.
I think we are doing well.

OTC choir program expanding in the fall
OTC choir program expanding in…
The popularity of the Ozarks Technical Community College choir has grown so much over the past several years that it will be expanding in the fall.
Kathryn Cole, the choir's director, said a new ensemble choir will be established as an addition to the larger Concert Choir. The smaller-sized ensemble choir will be made up of members who will sing a cappella (singing without musical accompaniment).
This past spring, the Concert Choir had 25 members, more than double the number the choir had just three years ago when Cole took over.
"People are finally realizing we have a program and want to be a part of it. They hear us at school functions, commencements and picnics. The word is out and kids are excited to tell their friends about the choir," Cole said.
Jennifer McAtee, lead instructor for the OTC music department and the piano accompanist at the concerts, said a lot of hard work has gone into making the choir a success.
"We have worked on visibility with our performances. President (Hal) Higdon has helped us a lot. Seeing his support and that of the rest of the administration really helps others spread the word about the choirs," McAtee said.
While picnics have been good performance venues, they have also served at the site for choir auditions, which have become more selective.
"It used to be that we would take anybody. Now, it's not just anybody," McAtee said.
Cole agreed, adding that "southwest Missouri is rich in choral talent and we have students coming to us from schools that have great musical programs. They can continue to sing at OTC and not have to wait until they get to a four-year college."
Cole, who has been singing since high school and graduated from Evangel University with her bachelor's in music education and earned a master's from Missouri State University, said she hopes that the addition of the second choir will help build momentum for the program.
"Everyone is becoming aware of the program. Attendance is up at the concerts and the program is growing; it's not shrinking," she said.

Home > Green City > Background
Electrify America is investing $800 million in California over 10 years with the purpose to increase the use of ZEVs. This investment is required by a settlement agreement between Volkswagen, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA), the United States Department of Justice, and the California Air Resources Board (CARB), after Volkswagen admitted to installing "defeat devices" that allowed its vehicles to cheat emissions tests and emit higher levels of emissions allowed by US EPA and CARB. Electrify America is a wholly owned subsidiary of Volkswagen whose mission is to develop and implement its ZEV investments.
This 10-year period is broken up into four investment cycles, with each cycle covering $200 million in investment over a 30-month period. For each investment cycle, Volkswagen is required to develop an investment plan explaining how it will invest the $200 million for that period. This plan is subject to approval by CARB, and CARB approved the first Investment Plan on July 27, 2017 and the second Investment Plan on December 13, 2018. Electrify America will continue to provide operational support and strategic guidance for the Green City Initiative in Sacramento throughout the length of their second investment cycle.
The first Investment Plan includes the following investments:
$45 million for community charging in six metropolitan areas across the state: Fresno, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, San Francisco, and Sacramento.
$75 million will be invested to build a network of high-speed chargers along highways. Chargers are anticipated in the Sacramento region along Highway 99, I-5, and I-80 in the Sacramento region.
$44 million is dedicated to establishing the first Green City, both to showcase the benefits of ZEVs, and increase access to ZEVs.
$20 million is directed to public education initiatives using various media to highlight the benefits of ZEVs and overcome barriers to ZEV adoption.
The remaining $16 million will cover Electrify America's operational costs.
The Green City Initiative is intended to concentrate investment in an area to promote transformational change. The first Plan proposes an investment of $11 million for a total of 75 chargers, and $33 million to develop a car sharing program as part of the Green City Initiative. The Investment Plan also identifies electric delivery fleets and e-taxis as potential future areas of investment.
As Electrify America developed its proposed ZEV Investment Plan in 2017, the City of Sacramento submitted a Green City proposal. The proposal outlined the City's priorities for investment, including enhancing mobility options for low-income residents in disadvantaged communities, strengthening first-mile/last-mile connections to transit, workforce development and training, and establishing Sacramento as a hub for research and development in zero-emission technologies. The City's Green City proposal presented Electrify America opportunities to leverage the City's early investments and regional partnerships to promote the use of ZEVs. View the City's Green City proposal.
Electrify America's initial investment in Sacramento is focused on the following activities:
Construction and operation of a network of Level 2 chargers, DC fast chargers, and high-power charging
Launch of a new EV car share program
Study opportunities for zero-emission delivery fleets and e-taxis
Expanding access to ZEV technologies access for disadvantaged and low-income communities

As the company continues to build its film slate and also expands into television, Jeff Robinov's Studio 8 has just made two new executive hires for its film creative team. John Graham, who most recently was VP of Production at Paramount Pictures, has been named senior VP. Jessica Switch, who oversaw Lionsgate's thriller Nerve which garnered high praise from its core audience and has made about $27M to date, has been hired as a VP.
They both come to the company at a time when Studio 8 is putting together a slate with quality filmmakers that includes Ang Lee's Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk which will be released in partnership with TriStar on Nov. 11, Albert Hughes' The Solutrean, which is in post-production and director Yann Demange's White Boy Rick which is being produced by John Lesher (Birdman) and Scott Franklin (Black Swan, The Wrestler) and is in pre-production.
Studio 8, which secured $1B in financing two years ago, was funded in partnership with the Chinese investment management firm Fosun Group and with Sony Pictures Entertainment. Last year, they launched their indie TV division.
During his stint at Paramount as a production VP, he oversaw such films as 10 Cloverfield Lane — which has grossed over $100M worldwide and the upcoming Bad Robot-produced God Particle, directed by Julius Onah and starring Elizabeth Debicki, Ziyi Zhang and David Oyelowo.
Graham first joined Paramount as part of their micro-budget division, Insurge. Prior to his studio stint, he was director of development at Sony Screen Gems working on titles such as Think Like A Man, Easy A and Legion.
Johnson moon landing drama Operation Avalanche which premiered at Sundance to critical acclaim and will receive a limited release by Lionsgate next month.

Ферна́ндо А́львес () (род. 4 сентября 1959 года, Монтевидео) — уругвайский футболист, вратарь сборной Уругвая. Наиболее известен по выступлениям за клуб «Пеньяроль».

Биография
Фернандо начал карьеру в «Дефенсоре» в 1976 году, когда клуб впервые в своей истории стал чемпионом Уругвая, однако в чемпионате он стал выступать только со следующего года и весьма впечатлил своей игрой «Пеньяроль». Уже в следующем году уругвайский гранд выкупил права на Альвеса, который за следующие 6 лет в стане «жёлто-чёрных» выиграл 4 чемпионата страны, 3 Лигильи, а также Кубок Либертадорес в 1982 году. Однако же в 1982 году Альвес не провёл в этом турнире ни одного матча, прочно осев на скамейке запасных — основным вратарём в том сезоне был Густаво Фернандес.

В 1984 году Альвес выступал за парагвайский «Либертад», после чего ещё два года играл за «Пеньяроль», но ушёл в «Ботафого» перед сезоном 1987, в котором «ауринегрос» выиграли очередной Кубок Либертадорес. Затем Альвес во второй раз вернулся в «Пеньяроль». В начале 1990-х годов Альвес выступал за «Индепендьенте Медельин» и за третий в своей карьере колумбийский клуб, «Хуниор», с которым в 1993 году стал, наконец, чемпионом Колумбии.

Both albums sold over 20 million copies, and she's released another six since 2001. She also made her feature film debut in 2002's Crossroads. Despite being rejected from The Mickey Mouse Club revival in the 90s, Britney moved to New York with her mum and enrolled at Professional Performing Arts School. In 2009, Billboard hailed Britney as the best-selling female artist of the first decade of the twenty-first century. Her album Oops!…I Did it Again became the highest debut week album by a female ever, selling an impressive 1.3 million copies! On January 3rd 2004 she married Jason Allen Alexander for 55 hours before they sadly annulled their union on January 5th; then she wed Kevin Federline on October 6th 2004, having two sons Jayden and Sean before divorcing in 2007. From 2014 – 2015 Britney dated Charlie Ebersol until 2017 when model Sam Asghari came into her life – they got engaged in September 2021 then announced that they were expecting their third child in April 2022 – unfortunately suffering a miscarriage soon afterwards but tying the knot that June 2022 regardless. Her long time rival Christina Aguilera joined forces with Britney for an iconic performance of Madonna's Like A Virgin at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2003 – cementing them both as pop icons!

Myrath Interview
The Tunisian progressive metal band Myrath recently released their latest album Shehili. We caught up with singer Zaher Zorgati, who fills us in on the album, touring, metal in Tunisia and other topics.
Chad Bowar: Was there anything unique in the songwriting process for Shehili compared to your previous albums?
Zaher Zorgati: Oh yeah. Imagine the full band and our producer Kevin Codfert in a little hotel room, full of cigarettes for a month. A mess! That's the way we choose to work together like a real team, being sure that everyone can bring ideas. All the arrangements took a long time, but the writing itself took us one month.
What led you to record in several different studios and use a few different producers?
At the beginning we recorded everything in the same place. We rent a small studio for the drums, and because of this we post processed the drums with lot of samples. earMusic get the CD and told us, "Guys, the album is awesome but we want to give you the opportunity to record real drums in a real studio at the legendary Chameleon studio Hamburg. No samples, no editing, everything natural, groovy, for the good of the album." So our producer Kevin Codfert started to work again on the new drums with Eike Freese, a producer in Hamburg. Together they recreated something 10 times more fresh and natural. At the end, our friend Jens Bogren also proposed his vision for one of the songs. That's why we ended up with three producers. We are 1000 percent happy with that.
The hotel story. (laughs) But also the recording of the violinists in Tunisia. The first time you hear your arrangements played with real instruments is always something you remember forever.
What did guest guitarist Pierre Danel from Kadinja bring to the album?
Pierre is an awesome guitarist. He doesn't only play Djunt, he also play acoustic guitars, and to be precise, flamenco. For example, Pierre brought all the Andaluzian influences on the song "Shehili." It gave a second life to the song.
What inspired the lyrics this time around?
We worked with three different lyricists: Perrine Perez Fuentes, Aymen Jaouadi and Hiba Ganem. Each of the lyricists brings their own feelings and their personal stories. Our lyrics are not just here to support music, they can stand on themselves. For example, talking about the song "Dance;" this is the story of a Syrian dancer who was threatened with death by ISIS. He tattooed "Dance or die" on his neck. That's a powerful story.
How has the band's sound evolved from Legacy?
More riffs, more Berberian French and Andaluzian influences. A more natural sound, real drums, no editing, no samples, no bullshit! (laughs)
How did you come to sign with earMusic?
Our french record label is Verycords. Verycords has worked with earMusic for a long time. Mehdi from Verycords introduced the band to Max (earMusic boss). Max loved it and started to analyze in the background all the band moves before working heavily with us. This process took two years.
How does that affect your goals and expectations for the album?
Our expectations before knowing about earMusic was to gently improve our fan base from CD to CD. earMusic is giving us the chance to improve it exponentially. So our expectations are know much bigger.
We read ALL the reviews, except the reviews from people who didn't listen the CD! Yes, it happens, like doing a copy/paste from other reviews, or saying "I like or I don't like this song" because of reasons that make you think that the journalist is talking about another song, maybe from another band.
You have a couple of festivals on your calendar. What else is coming up with touring in 2019?
We actually announced a tour in November with our friends in the band Beast in Black. We will also announce a big headlining tour in 2020.
Tell us about the live album/DVD you recorded and when it might be released.
It will probably be released in winter 2019. It was shot in Carthage/Tunisia with 17 cameras, dancers, darbokistes, big screens. It's gonna be huge!
What was the response to your April Fool's Day post that you were turning into a computer animated band able to play in 532 locations at once?
Lot of people believed it! It's just a joke but I'm realizing that bands, media, everyone who can be influenced has the strong responsibility to fight against fake news. Today Facebook information is more trusted than official press, and it's a risk.
How has your home country of Tunisia changed since the 2011 revolution?
For the good and the bad. We needed a revolution for sure. But now, we must now learn how democracy works. Democracy is something that takes years to be built after centuries of dictators and occupation.
Is there much of a metal scene in Tunisia these days?
Not that much, unfortunatly. We have good bands such as Persona, Nawather and Hemlyn. But they struggle a lot because of the lack of a platform. Those bands are great.
What are some of your non-musical interests and hobbies?
Football, comedy, GOT, movie making.
Myrath – Shehili (laughs) We are actually working hard on the setlist for the shows.
Thanks again for the interview. Thanks for giving me this opportunity. We want to say that we are gonna bring the magical flavors of the video clips on stage with us. We will introduce magic in our shows, real magic. We want to bring something new for the people, and we will do it. See you soon!
