But i'm getting this error Trying to get property 'role_id' of non-object when i used Auth::user()->role_id.

Home Yes (1971) 01/18/1971 London, United Kingdom

Chris glad you enjoyed the show at the Royal Albert Hall. Sorry that
something happened to your hearing that you missed out on ALL of the
Brilliant Yes songs recorded in the 70s.
Chris Chessum
I found this website and this particular page a few days ago by accident whilst surfing the net.
Monday January 18 1971 : Royal Albert Hall : London, England :
I WAS THERE AND I'VE STILL GOT MY TICKET STUB.
As today (January 18 2003) is the Thirty-Second Anniversary of this concert I thought I'd share my memories of the gig, I can't remember all of the songs but the memory of the event will live with me for ever. Four of us travelled from Clacton-On-Sea in Essex to see the gig, by van to Wanstead Underground Station and then Tube to Albert's Emporium - we missed DADA but arrived in time for YES and IRON BUTTERFLY.
My first thoughts were 'WOW!!! An all Fender back line and look at the size of those Bass Bins' (made by RCA I think) but my attention was soon diverted to the stage when YES began their set with a staggering version of "Yours Is No Disgrace" and I was hooked. "I've Seen All Good People" and "The Clap" were stunning and I'm embarrassed to admit that's the only tracks I can put names to. Suffice to say I was on my feet yelling for more at the end of what I can only describe as a Master Class.
Paul Simon's "America" was transformed into a mini opera with almost every musical style making an appearance. And a song called "It's Love" which I believe is one of Chris Squire's compositions.
The evening finished with members of DADA, YES and IRON BUTTERFLY all on stage together, definitely a memorable evening.
IRON BUTTERFLY were good, particularly "Easy Rider (Let The Wind Pay The Way)" and the anthemic "In A Gadda Da Vida", but to be honest YES Showed them the way to do it.
I haven't been to The Royal Albert Hall since this gig, and I only saw YES live once more with Patrick Moraz on keyboards and Alan White on Drums - and unforunately It didn't work for me. The Anderson, Howe, Squire, Kaye, Bruford line up was the definitive YES as far as I'm concerned and I didn't really like anything else until "Owner Of A Lonely Heart".

Prior to the barrages, during periods of low flow, tidal effects and the intrusion of seawater were felt up to 250 km upstream from the mouth of the River Murray, approximately as far inland as present-day Swan Reach.
From the 1900s, with the advent of large irrigation schemes, landowners along the lower reaches of the river strongly urged for the construction of barrages, primarily to keep the water fresh in the lower reaches of the River Murray, as well as Lake Albert and Lake Alexandrina.
In 1931, the Murray Darling Basin Commission authorized the construction of five barrages. Work on the barrages commenced in 1935 and was completed in 1940. South Australia's Engineering and Water Supply Department undertook the works, with costs shared equally by the Governments of South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales and the Commonwealth of Australia.
For more information refer to this article on the barrages.


Trump says Mueller investigation was "illegal" and "an attempted coup"
President Trump congratulated Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu on his apparent victory and blasted special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation as "illegal" Wednesday before leaving to meet with supporters in Texas.
Netanyahu is expected to be indicted on corruption charges soon.
"He's been a great ally and he's a friend, I'd like to congratulate him, that was a well-thought out race I can tell you," Mr. Trump said of Netanyahu Wednesday, speaking to reporters on the White House South Lawn. The president arrived in San Antonio early Wednesday afternoon, and many of his events are closed to the press.
The president also blasted Mueller's investigation, calling it "illegal" even though he also claims it exonerates him.
"It was an illegal investigation," the president told CBS News' chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett. "Major, it was an illegal investigation. It was started illegally. Everything about it was crooked -- every single thing about it. There were dirty cops. These were bad people. If you look at McCabe and Comey, and you look at Lisa and Peter Strzok, these were bad people. And this was a -- an attempted coup. This was an attempted takedown of a president. And we beat them. We beat them."
Mr. Trump is in Texas as his administration is looking to implement even more aggressive immigration policies after replacing top leaders at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The president is attending a fundraiser in San Antonio, address the International Union of Operating Engineers Training and Education Center in Crosby, and another fundraiser in Houston.
The administration is considering changing a handful of key immigration-related policies, even as the president continues his threats to shut down the border. The new policies include changing rules to allow the government to detain migrant families for longer than the current 20-day limit imposed by what's known as the Flores agreement.
Mr. Trump told reporters Tuesday that he isn't looking to reinstate the practice of separating children from their parents at the border. However, the White House, according to a senior administration official, wants to make it more difficult for immigrants to be approved for asylum, citing rising approval rates.
On Wednesday, the president praised Stephen Miller, the top Trump aide who, as CBS News' chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett has reported, is behind much of the president's renewed push for stricter immigration policies. Asked if he would consider making Miller his DHS secretary, since Miller is already, in the words of one reporter, essentially running his immigration apparatus, the president praised Miller but bristled at the idea that anyone aside from him runs immigration.
"No, Stephen is an excellent guy," Mr. Trump said of Miller. "He's a wonderful person. People don't know him. He's a wonderful -- been with me from the beginning. He's a brilliant man. And, frankly, there's only one person that's running it. You know who that is? It's me."
Mr. Trump also addressed his tax returns, which House Ways and Means Chairman Richard Neal has requested from the Treasury Department. The president claimed there "is no law whatsoever" requiring the treasury secretary to hand over Mr. Trump's tax returns, but there is a law allowing the head of the committee to review any individual's tax returns. The president's lawyer has made it clear he will fight the push for the president's tax returns in court. The president's attorney wants lawyers at the Justice Department to first review the request to hand over Mr. Trump's tax returns.


Django Admin is the CRUD interface of Django web framework. It is mostly automatically generated but can be widely customize. However, you must keep in mind that it is designed for trusted users only and has its limits. In any case, you must never give admin access to untrusted users.
Django Admin provides a high level of customization, but be careful of not falling too much customization details. If you do so, it's probably time to create you own custom interface without Django Admin at all.
# `django.contrib.admin` and its dependancies.
Be careful about urls.py that is slightly different in Django >= 1.9 than in older versions.
Version with include will still work in Django 1.9 but is deprecated and will be removed in the future.
When you created your own Models in a app, they still need to be registered in order to become available in the admin pages.
This is done in the admin submodule. If your app was created using manage.py startapp , an admin.py file should already lay in you app module. Otherwise create it.
Django Admin comes with some Models registerd by default. There a some occasions where you might want to remove a Model from the admin pages.
This is done in the admin submodule. If your app wass created using manage.py startapp , the admin.py file should already lay in your app module. Otherwise create it.

De Yotsubashi-lijn (四つ橋線, Yotsubashi-sen) is een van de lijnen van de Metro van Osaka in Japan. De lijn is vernoemd naar de Yotsubashisuji, een straat in Osaka waarlangs de lijn loopt. De lijn loopt van noord naar zuid en heeft als kenmerken de letter Y (waarmee de stations worden aangeduid) en de kleur blauw. De Yotsubashi-lijn is 11,4 km lang en behoort daarmee tot de kortere metrolijnen van Osaka.

Geschiedenis
Het eerste gedeelte van de metrolijn, tussen Daikokuchō en Hanazonochō, werd in 1942 geopend, wat de lijn tot één-na-oudste van Osaka maakt. De bouw werd echter al snel gestaakt vanwege de verslechterde oorlogssituatie. Na de oorlog werd de bouw voortgezet maar het zou nog tot 1972 duren voordat de lijn haar huidige vorm kreeg. In 1969 kreeg de lijn, eerder 'metrolijn 3' genoemd, de naam Yotsubashi-lijn.

Toekomst
In 2004 werd er voor het eerst een verlenging naar Jūsō, ten noorden van Umeda onderzocht. Hoewel men dit als een 'ontbrekende schakel' in het transportnetwerk ziet, is er anno 2010 nog geen beslissing genomen: men hikt vooral aan tegen de hoge kosten.

Er waren ook plannen voor een verlenging naar het zuiden, maar na de ineenstorting van de Japanse economie begin jaren negentig zijn deze plannen in de ijskast gezet. In 2009 opperde Takeyama Osami, de burgemeester van Sakai een verlenging naar het WTC om het gebied te beter te ontsluiten. Doordat men ook al plannen had voor een lightrailverbinding is het voorstel niet onomstreden; anno 2010 is er nog geen beslissing genomen.

Bishop Lynch High School
Bishop Lynch seniors explore interests, trades at Inaugural Career Day
On Wednesday, October 15th, more than 50 Friar alumni and current parents visited Bishop Lynch High School to participate in the inaugural BLHS MajorEdge Career Day. As 294 Lynch seniors eagerly navigated through the rows and rows of tables on display, it was evident early on that the school's first career fair was going to be a huge success.
Students were given the opportunity to visit six professionals for 20 minutes each - free to listen, ask questions and communicate with others interested in the same fields. The presenters represented specialties from business to engineering, advertising to nursing, television to sales! Almost every major was covered, giving the students first-hand knowledge about various careers and leaving them with the opportunity to explore their interests and various strengths.
The success of the program would not have been possible without the generous participation of the devoted parent and alumni volunteers. The students thoroughly enjoyed the day, and came out of it with a wealth of knowledge and many lasting impressions.
Until next year, Friars!

There is a Youtube video in which Rob Clark, who is a troll who sounds like he's from the hood, trashes Oswald in the doorway. I bring it up because his arguments against it are so plainly stupid. For instance, he dismisses "out with Bill Shelley in front" from the Fritz Notes on the grounds that "we don't know the question," that Fritz might have asked Oswald where his co-workers were at the time of the shooting, and Oswald may have told Fritz that they were out with Bill Shelley in front.
That is ridiculous. Oswald was suspected of being the assassin, the lone assassin, of JFK. So, why would Fritz ask him where "his coworkers" were during the attack? And why would he expect Oswald to know where his coworkers were? And, his coworkers were scattered all over the place; they weren't all out with Bill Shelley in front. James Jarman and Harold Norman and Bonnie Ray Williams were up on the 5th floor. So, they weren't out with Bill Shelley in front. But, the most important thing is that this was a murder investigation, and Oswald was the prime and only suspect, and it makes sense that Fritz would solicit his alibi.
Then, Clark brings up the time-worn argument that no one reported seeing Oswald out front. People ought to dwell on what happened to Joe Molina, whose home was stormed by Dallas Police on the night of the assassination. Why? Supposedly because they
suspected he was involved with Oswald.
That, of course, was ludicrous. How could he be involved with Oswald when Oswald wasn't involved? It's unclear whether Oswald and Molina ever exchanged words- even once. The idea that they were involved in killing Kennedy together is ridiculous, and it was ridiculous then.
But, somebody wanted to make hell for Joe Molina. But why? Did he say something that expressed doubt about the official story? He was in the doorway. So, did he start to say something? Something forbidden?
The point is that you couldn't say it. You couldn't say that you saw Oswald in the doorway because if you started to say it, the Gestapo was going to come down on you like a ton of bricks. Look what happened to Carolyn Arnold. That naive young woman, who was only 19, thought that she could be honest, and she was honest: on November 26, when told the FBI that she was quite sure she saw Oswald standing AT the doorway shortly before the shooting. She said she was already outside, and she turned around, and that's when she saw him, peering through the glass. The FBI agent who interviewed her designated a time of 12:15 that this happened, and he must have thought that that still left Oswald enough time to get upstairs, build the Sniper's Nest, build the rifle (using a dime as a screwdriver) and get in position at the window to start shooting. But, wiser men than him at the FBI realized that they were still screwed. So, they swept back into the TSBD in March and demanded signed statements from all the employees, including Carolyn Arnold, and by then, she realized that she had committed a faux pas, in spades. And forget in spades; make it in plutonium.
So, Carolyn Arnold compliantly said she didn't see Oswald at all, and after saying that, she gave the correct time that she got outside, which was 12:25.
The point is that it is meaningless that there are no published reports of TSBD employees saying that they saw Oswald in the doorway. If anyone tried to say it, they were quickly told, "You didn't see him because he was up on the 6th floor by then, and if you say it again, we are going to XXXXXXXXXXX..." And you can fill that in with whatever you think they would have threatened, what J.Edgar Hoover's FBI would have threatened.
There is absolutely no doubt that it was Oswald in the doorway, and that's because the likeness to Oswald, and that includes both the likeness to him and to his clothing, are way, way, way beyond the threshold of adequacy to establish it. The idea that that there was this much likeness between Oswald and Lovelady, in the way they looked and the way they dressed on 11/22/63, is, in a word, preposterous.
It is downright childish and stupid to think that this much likeness in physicality and dress were possible between Oswald and Lovelady. What we are seeing above is like stuffing the ball in basketball, meaning that the score was made with authority. That is the same guy wearing the same clothes; period.

Texas A&M Addressing Issues of Food Access and Cultural Sensitivity in Border Communities
The United States has an obesity epidemic, and although it would be easy to place blame on individual decision making, many Americans do not have access to fruits, vegetables and other healthy food at a price they can afford. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has a name for areas in which people live far from a supermarket or large grocery store that sells nutritious foods and where much of the population lacks easy access to transportation: food deserts.

Much of the rural area around McAllen, TX, could be considered a food desert, as there are few public bus routes, leaving those without their own vehicle to rely on friends or family members to get to grocery stores. "In Hidalgo County, which contains McAllen, 46 percent of the population lives in census tracts designated as food deserts," said Evelia C. Castillo, MPH, CHWI, of the Texas A&M School of Public Health, who serves as program coordinator of the CDC-funded Working on Wellness (WOW) Hidalgo program. "Through the WOW program, we are working through community-based coalitions to improve healthy food access in Hidalgo County."
Dr. Monica Campos-Bowers, instructional assistant professor at the Texas A&M School of Public Health McAllen campus and an evaluator for WOW Hidalgo, sees the problem as largely one of access—the population's access to fresh and healthy food, public health practitioners' access to the population, and farmers' access to people who can and will buy their food at fair prices.
"WOW-Hidalgo aims to decrease obesity in our region, and one way is to address food retail opportunities — to get people access to any fruits or vegetables," Dr. Campos-Bowers said. However, that's not as easy of a proposition as it sounds. "You think that if you just plop a farmer's market in the middle of a food desert, everything will be solved, but that's not how it works. The population might not even want the farmer's market. "Community ownership in the initial assessment, implementation and monitoring of such a program is vital for sustainability and long-term success," Campos-Bowers added.
Although the area is generally warm with two growing seasons each year, making fresh, locally grown ingredients available nearly year-round, some farmers aren't producing because it's not profitable. "For some farmers, selling their produce isn't paying for their costs," Dr. Campos-Bowers said. "How do you make it valuable for the farmers to come to food deserts and sell their produce?"
As part of Texas A&M Healthy South Texas — an innovative public health extension platform that combines the clinical expertise of the Health Science Center with AgriLife Extension Service's statewide reach — WOW-Hidalgo and other initiatives have been empowering the community to implement innovative solutions. For example, they plan to work with local community clinics to stock local produce that the providers can prescribe to high-risk patients as they would a medication. "This way, we can support local farms and help patients at the same time," Dr. Campos-Bowers said. "If they're seeing which foods are good for their diabetes, for example, and what they should be eating, that might help them know what they should buy next time to help their condition."
"We want to show that you can get healing through your food," Dr. Campos-Bowers added.
Another program utilizes existing social welfare resources to give people options about the fresh fruits and vegetables they consume. Families enrolled in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) in the area get a voucher for a fixed amount to spend at the local farmer's market. Such initiatives also serve the dual purposes of supporting farmers and getting their products to the population.
Getting gardens into elementary schools is also an important part of teaching healthy habits. "Summer programs and schools are a huge asset with regards to access to these populations," Dr. Campos-Bowers said.
There is also a role for public policy in the solution. "If cities or communities pass laws that 20 percent of the shelves in grocery or convenience stores have to be fresh fruits and vegetables, that really helps with access," Dr. Campos-Bowers said. The pricing of items, whether through tax incentives (or disincentives for junk food) may also be important.
Still, any intervention should consider the particular community. In South Texas, where much of the population is Latino or Hispanic, anyone creating the interventions should understand the cultural dynamics. "It's vital to remember that any intervention must be culturally sensitive," Campos-Bowers said. "Instead of telling people to stop eating foods they are familiar with and that they enjoy, perhaps suggest and provide a small change to a healthier alternative."
Some research has shown that available resources, culture, education and food preferences may be more important for determining a healthy diet than simple access might be. Therefore, WOW is also including education and demonstration in their interventions. "We found that access is only one part of the puzzle, as some of the produce at the farmer's markets are not consumed regularly by residents in our area," Castillo said. "We have started to deliver food demos to educate participants on how to incorporate vegetables and fruits into their diets as well."
"We don't know what's going to happen or what programs will work, but one thing I see as valuable is that they're trying," Dr. Campos-Bowers added. "We can learn from both successes and failures."

Q: Telnet sub negotiation command without IAC SE Does telnet sub negotiation command without IAC SE is valid command?

A: No, the IAC, SE sequence indicates the end of the response (and the supplied value).

See Documentation

A: Like @Robert Bradley says, a sub-option negotiation which does not end with <IAC><SE> is NOT valid.
However there is one unofficial exception, which, because it was broken like that, got replaced, but theoretically could be seen in the wild. That is the original version of the Mud Client Compression Protocol (MCCP) - using sub-option number 85 which uses zlib compression to reduce the amount of data bytes to be sent from a MUD (Multi-User Dungeon) Game Server to the players' Clients. That mistakenly has the Server using <IAC><SB><85><WILL><SE> at the exact point in the data where compression begins. This defect was so significant that the protocol was revised to version 2 - which is otherwise identical except that it uses the sub-option number 86 instead - so that the sequence to begin that (after both server and client have agreed) is the correctly formed: <IAC><SB><86><IAC><SE>.
MUD server and client applications are now to prefer MCCP2 over MCCP1 (and obviously not agree to do the latter if the former has already been negotiated). See also: https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/mccp/protocol.html.

Researchers from Washington University in St. Louis are developing a new treatment for arthritis that can ease symptoms and make existing medications more effective. Injuries such as a twisted ankle, broken hip, and torn knee cartilage can have long-term side effects including arthritis, joint degeneration, osteoarthritis, and inflammation that could result in chronic pain. The team, led by professor Lori Setton, have found that silk particles can aid in the delivery of existing medications to affected areas that are sometimes hard to reach.
To develop this new treatment, the researchers addressed the main cause of cellular breakdown, inflammation, and pain following an injury—an intracellular compound referred to as nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB). They are currently working on a method that utilizes silk to deliver two NF-kB inhibiting molecules to the site of the original injury in order to prevent long-term joint damage.
In initial trials, Setton and her team have shown that compounds are able to stay in the joint space approximately five times longer when they are delivered with silk microparticles than when they are delivered alone. This new delivery method will begin testing in animal models in the near future.
If this method proves to be effective in animal and human trials, it could provide a more efficient way of treating the cause of long-term joint damage and potentially prevent the development of musculoskeletal disorders such as osteoarthritis.

Development of new testing to determine which small thyroid cancers should be treated surgically
Papillary cancer is, by far, the most common type of thyroid cancer and, overall, has a very good survival rate/prognosis. Those unusual cases of papillary thyroid cancer having guarded/relatively poor prognosis generally have spread to other body sites, such as the neck lymph nodes, the lungs and/or the bones. In general, appropriate management for papillary thyroid cancer requires surgery, followed in some cases by treatment with radioactive iodine therapy.
Recent studies aimed at predicting the behavior of papillary thyroid cancer have found that very small cancers (< 1 cm in diameter, called papillary micro-carcinomas) are unlikely to grow and spread and probably do not need to be removed surgically. Rather, such small cancers might simply be monitored for growth, with surgery only performed if such growth occurs. Unfortunately, however, a very small number of papillary micro-carcinomas will spread to distant body sites, without actually growing themselves. Because of this, an important area of research focuses on identifying which papillary micro-carcinomas will spread to distant body sites, so that these specific cancers can be removed surgically before they spread.
Cancer cells develop because of genetic changes in the normal cells from which they arise. Additional genetic changes can then occur within these cancer cells, giving them the ability to spread to other body sites. Because of this, one strategy for identifying which papillary microcarcinomas will spread out of the thyroid is to define which genetic changes allow this to occur and then to surgically remove only those papillary micro-carcinomas having these specific genetic changes.
The purpose of the study reviewed here was to compare the genetic changes in papillary micro-carcinomas that have spread out of the thyroid to the genetic changes in papillary micro-carcinomas that have remained within the thyroid.
Perera D et al 2019 Genomic and transcriptomic characterization of papillary microcarcinomas with lateral neck lymph node metastases J Clin Endocrinol Metab. Epub 2019 Jun 25. PMID: 31237614.
To accomplish their study, the authors compared changes in genetic material (DNA and RNA) between 71 papillary micro-carcinomas having no evidence of spread out of the thyroid and 40 papillary micro-carcinomas known to have spread to neck lymph nodes. In so doing, the authors found no significant DNA differences between the two groups. However, significant RNA differences were identified in the group having known lymph node spread, when compared to the group without such spread. Moreover, the authors calculated that the absence of these RNA changes in a papillary micro-carcinomas confers a 98% probability that it will not spread out of the thyroid. Interestingly, the presence of these RNA changes did a relatively poor job of predicting which papillary microcarcinomas will spread out of the thyroid.
It is clear that only a small subset of papillary microcarcinomas will spread out of the thyroid and, in theory, only this subset should be surgically removed. Ideally, such surgery should be performed prior to the spread of cancer out of the thyroid, since such spread is associated with relatively poor prognosis and requires more aggressive treatment. The research reviewed here describes the development of a test allowing identification of those papillary micro-carcinomas that will not spread out of the thyroid. The results presented are encouraging and provide justification for further studies to validate the accuracy of the described testing.

Lymph Node: bean-shaped organ that plays a role in removing what the body considers harmful, such as infections and cancer cells.
Radioactive Iodine (RAI): this plays a valuable role in diagnosing and treating thyroid problems since it is taken up only by the thyroid gland. I-131 is the destructive form used to destroy thyroid tissue in the treatment of thyroid cancer and with an overactive thyroid. I-123 is the non-destructive form that does not damage the thyroid and is used in scans to take pictures of the thyroid (Thyroid Scan) or to take pictures of the whole body to look for thyroid cancer (Whole Body Scan).
Negative Predictive Value: the likelihood that a patient does not have a disease when the test used to diagnose that disease is negative.

Sir Geoffrey Chandler's death
08 Apr 2011, 12:00am
Responding to the death yesterday of the influential business and human rights figure Sir Geoffrey Chandler CBE, Amnesty International UK Director Kate Allen said:
"Sir Geoffrey was a towering figure within Amnesty.
"He was a founding member of Amnesty International UK's Business and Human Rights Group and was the driving force in the development of our work on business and human rights.
"Sir Geoffrey knew better than most that businesses have a profound responsibility to uphold human rights and the human rights movement has been richer for his work.
"He will be dearly missed."
Sir Geoffrey was the founder of Amnesty International UK's Business and Human Rights Group in 1991 and remained its chair until 2001. After he stepped down he remained extremely influential and active, continuing to work with Amnesty in this field.
Sir Geoffrey had been a director at Royal Dutch Shell and this experience was especially valuable in his human rights work.
Sir Geoffrey died yesterday following a heart attack at St George's Hospital in London
Note on Sir Geoffrey's life
During World War II Geoffrey's war service included working with the Greek resistance in German-occupied Greece. After the war and after graduating from Cambridge University, he began his career as a journalist for the BBC and Financial Times. He subsequently spent 22 years with the Royal Dutch/Shell Group. Geoffrey was a Director of Shell Petroleum, Shell Petroleum NV and Shell International. He initiated Shell's first Statement of General Business Principles in 1976. His years with Shell were internationally-focused, including work on West Africa and in the Caribbean (based in Trinidad).
In 1978 Sir Geoffrey was appointed by Prime Minister Callaghan to be Director General of the UK National Economic Development Office, a position he held for five years. Geoffrey was Director of Industry Year 1986, leader of the subsequent campaign "Industry Matters", and Chair of the National Council of Voluntary Organisations from 1989 to 1996. He has written books on Greece and Trinidad and numerous articles on corporate responsibility and human rights.
Besides human rights and business, Sir Geoffrey had diverse interests, including music, the study of butterflies and gardening.

Kim Anning
From Thelonius Monk to Fats Waller, and Tom Waits to the Beatles, expect to hear some interesting arrangements from Kim Anning. Quality musicianship and vocals will have your toes tapping and your ears pricked with a vast repertoire of Tin Pan Alley standards. Expect solid renditions of Cole Porter, Gershwin, Richard Rogers, Irving Berlin and Johny Mercer to name a few. He also has more contemporary jazz from Thelonius Monk, Horace Silver, Dave Brubeck and Nat Adderly in his arsenal. If jazz isn't your style, then Kim can play some retro pop and rock from the likes of Ray Charles, Beatles, Creedence, Carol King, Leonard Cohen and Tom Waits.
Kim has been playing jazz in various combinations since the late 1970's (starting with J.T. and the Jazzmen) including freelancing with various jazz bands, backing international artists and a 10 year stint in a restaurant playing solo instrumental background music. More recently he has been seen in duo form with Libby Hammer and various other singers as well as leading Blue Monk at the Perth Jazz Society, Jazz Club of W.A., Jazz Fremantle and Ellington's.
Check out Kim's Setlist.

Is it a group of old girl friends that want to reconnect? Is it a trip for somebody's birthday? Perhaps a big 40th or 50th celebration? A bachelorette party? Is it a group of new girl friends seeking to bond and get to know one another better?
Maybe a group of moms that are in desperate need of having some peace and pampering? All of these occasions might call for different types of women only trips to various types of destinations.
You may be familiar with the legendary running of the bulls, but you likely know little about the city that serves as its scenic stage.
Pamplona, Spain, the capital city of Basque Country, is a destination very worth your knowing, particularly if you're a foodie, because Basque Country is really a gastronomic paradise.
Basque culture stands out as singular in Europe-the locals speak their very own language, there is a strong feeling of Basque pride, and Basque women have enjoyed equality since the feudal era.
Going to the city of Oaxaca provides a fascinating look at Mexican colonial architecture: Its baroque-style Santo Domingo temple is among the most beautiful in all of Mexico, with a domed ceiling and an intricate gold altar.
The weather is sunny and dry all year-round, which makes it a wonderful place for you and the gals to get together for strolls down the cobblestone streets, gaze up at colorful colonial buildings, stop in at museums and, obviously, eat your hearts out (literally).
The fervor of Italy and the Italians is most alive in its cuisine, and nowhere is that passion more evident than in Tuscany, a region of central Italy where women devote hours (even days) in developing the intense flavors that go into recipes passed down for generations.
Pasta, pizza, thick breads, bruschettas, and truffle oil all hail from Tuscany. You can study the centuries-old culinary secrets of this region in its kitchens-or just sample them while dining with your best friends each night.
Bangkok is two parts sophisticated metropolis and one part traditional-culture hub. It is a dynamic environment where (nearly) anything goes. The city center of modern Bangkok is choked with high-rise steel-and-glass offices, massive shopping complexes, and gridlocked traffic of cars and tuk-tuks.
Gorgeous beaches, surfing, and a tropical landscape of jungle-cloaked volcanoes and rice terraces reserve Bali a unique place in the hearts of international jet-setters. However, this island province, located in Southeast Asia of Indonesian archipelago, is also an idyllic spa haven if you are looking for help dropping that heavy baggage all of us carry in our lives.
If you have got general pains and aches, like most of us, or if you are struggling with a specific ailment like arthritis, the spas here can be just the ticket. Or perhaps you are just looking for relaxation and discovering a new country.
You and your girlfriends would love coming to Carlsbad, a quaint and quiet spa town where one can take a bath fit for a queen.
In case your idea of the perfect girlfriends getaway combines a classic road trip with good old-fashioned exercise, stunning scenery, and a spa, you cannot beat what this two-island nation offers. The Kiwis (aka New Zealanders) have devised a mind-boggling number of adventurous ways to explore their two islands and all sorts of mountains, fjords, and rivers.
Close your eyes and think about immersing your body in rain-water fed natural hot springs, with views of waterfalls, lush tropical plants, and, during the night, gushing red-orange lava. Costa Rica, located between Nicaragua and Panama, is renowned for both its friendliness and eco-friendliness.
The Southeast Asian country has no choice but to soothe, with a Buddhist culture setting the tone for mindful living; a fragrant, light cuisine which goes easy on your body; massage and yoga integrated into the lifestyle; and silky beaches and friendly people.
Girlfriends love the calm, warm seawater, inexpensive massages at the water's edge, soft breezes, fresh fruit and fish, and the friendly Thai people.
Ireland's emerald landscapes are dotted with countless castles; some are medieval ruins, others are palace hotels. Especially if you have got Irish roots, staying in a castle is a great way to start exploring your heritage.

Have an amazing time… we know you will! Remember, above all that having a good time will truly mostly depend on who will be accompanying you on your girls getaway trip.
Relax, have some fun, and you will be building memories to serve you for a life time!. So get planning and enjoy your girls getaway trip! Cheers!
Boasting more than 300 high-end shops, Oxford Street is one of the busiest shopping districts in all of Europe. This active street measures approximately a mile and a half long, and intersects with Park Lane, New Bond Street and Regent Street. Oxford Street also has a highly dramatic history.
Beginning the 12th Century and lasting through 1782, Oxford Street served as the road taken by prisoners to Newgate Prison. In modern times, it evolved into a street where British chain stores hold their celebrity launches. This includes the century-old Selfridges, the second largest department store in the United Kingdom.
In 2005, the Oxford Street Selfridges hosted a group of Elvis Presley tribute artists, who set the world record for the most Elvis impersonators in one location. The event is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records.
Mention Jermyn Street in London, and the first words that come to mind are "gentlemen's shirts." Jermyn Street is to men's shirts as Savile Row is to men's fine suits. In fact, the shirt makers at the famous Turnbull & Asser store have produced shirts for esteemed gentlemen such as Prince Charles and George W Bush.
Jermyn Street takes its name from Henry Jermyn, who developed the neighborhood in 1667. Its residents of distinction include Sir Isaac Newton, Colonel Churchill Duke, and the Duchess of Richmond and Lennox. The street is also home to the 70-seat Jermyn Street Theater.
While fans of custom-made clothing enjoy Jermyn Street for its shirts, steak aficionados rave about the steaks at Rowley's Restaurant. This restaurant is famous for its grilled steak, which is with a tasty herb butter sauce and unlimited supply of chips.
Leicester Square embodies the charm of all things British. It's named after Robert Sidney, who served as the 2nd Earl of Leicester. In 1630, Sidney purchased four acres of land within the neighborhood, and built an enormous house called Leicester House. Much to the local residents' immense disapproval, Sidney enclosed part of the formerly public land around his ostentatious new mansion. As usual for London, arbitration ensued, and Lord Leicester was ordered to keep part of his land available to local parishioners.
Today, a small park ornaments the center of the area. Its features a statue of Shakespeare surrounded by dolphins, as well as statues of other historic celebrities such as Sir Isaac Newton. The most humorous statue has Charlie Chaplin gaping at Sir William Shakespeare is probably the funniest. The Bard would probably be quite amused, but we're not sure how he would feel about sharing the glory with the modern screen actors, whose hand-prints appear on the mounted plaques that also ornament Leicester Square.
Piccadilly, a major road in the City of London, measures 1.25 miles. It traverses Piccadilly Circus and the southeast corner of Hyde's Park.
The name comes from a tailor named Robert Baker. During the 17th-century, Baker owned a shop that specialized in the piccalilli, a large stiff collar known for its scalloped edges and a broad lace border. The money earned from these collars allowed him to build a large mansion. He called it Piccadilly Hill.
The attractions of Piccadilly include Burlington House, home to the Royal Academy of Arts, and Fortnum and Mason, the department store associated with the British Royal family. The store boasts a highly impressive food hall, whose stocks of specialty foods have been known to induce hunger pangs.
The store also has a fashionable tea shop as well as a hair salon that specializes in cutting and styling long hair.
There's no circus in Piccadilly Circus. Circus is the Latin word for circle, and Piccadilly Circus is simply a circular open space. Kitsch neon signs and flashy billboards characterize this funky neighborhood but its Tube station is its claim to fame. It starred in a 1986 video for Press TV, which featured Sir Paul McCartney catching a Tube train and chatting with fellow passengers.
An intriguing history inspired tourists to visit and stay near Dean Street. In 1756 a young musician named Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart performed a recital at 21 Dean Street. Fast forward to World War II, and the French House, also located on Dean Street, served as the headquarters for Charles de Gaulle and the French Underground Resistance movement.
Karl Marx inhabited Dean Street from 1851 to 1856. His dwellings sat above what is now the upscale restaurant called Quo Vadis. Before he became an author, Charles Dickens was a regular on Dean Street. As an aspiring actor, he participated in amateur productions at Fanny Kelly's Royalty Theatre, located at 73-74 Dean Street.
London captivates her visitors with her rich and colorful history. Why not spend time vacationing within her residential areas, and get to know her better.

Son of LV? Santa Monica City Council Mulls Future Approach to Development
Jason Islas
What will it take to end the divisiveness surrounding development in Santa Monica? That was the ostensible question underpinning the discussion at the Santa Monica City Council meeting early Wednesday morning.
Councilmembers Gleam Davis and Kevin McKeown together placed an item the agenda as last week's meeting that called for staff to "explore the procedural steps necessary to establish voter approval requirements… and/or require a super-majority Council vote on projects," according to the official agenda.
The discussion comes only a month after voters soundly rejected Measure LV, a no-growth ballot measure that would have required a city-wide vote of nearly all projects taller than 32 feet. The measure lost by nearly 11 percentage points.
Still, the divisive nature of the election and with supporters of Measure LV often making claims about development plans in the city of Santa Monica that were factually inaccurate, McKeown said he wanted to discuss the issue in an effort to "end the war," he said last Tuesday.
Davis said that while the item did explicitly mention the possibility of a voter-approval measure or a supermajority Council vote requirement for future projects over a yet-to-be-determined size, "I'm not saying I'll support any of these things."

Instead, she said she recognized that there is clearly some dissatisfaction in the community with the city's planning process. She hoped the conversation could lead to finding common ground among the different camps in the community.
Councilmember Pam O'Connor, who abstained from the final vote, was concerned, however, that the discussion was being directed to favor a future measure that would require voter approval of developments over a certain size.
"Ballot-box measures tie the hands of future generations," she said.
Also, increasingly studies have shown that when vibrant places enact barriers to new housing, the consequences are increasing rents and gentrification. This clearly applies to Santa Monica.
Last year, a report by California's Legislative Analyst's Office (LAO) pointed out that the lack of new housing, especially in coastal California, is squeezing out the poor and middle-class and pushing them farther and farther from the quality job and education opportunities available in those communities. This "toolkit," published by the Obama administration in September, reaffirms the LAO's findings.
Over the years, Santa Monica has largely been a slow-growth city, which is, in part, why rents continue to rise.
Councilmember Terry O'Day said that while he supported the intent of the motion — to bring the community together — he didn't think a discussion exclusively about ballot-box planning was the best way to do it.
"When we think about why Measure LV failed, it's not just because 32 feet was too low or we couldn't rebuild buildings because of the drafting, but in particular it was because ballot box planning is not desirable or wise."
He said that he would like included in the staff report that comes back to the Council on this issue a look at what has worked in other communities and what are some of the state-of-the-art approaches to community engagement around planning.
Several Councilmembers stated their support for the idea of requiring a supermajority of the City Council to approve projects above a certain threshold, including Councilmembers Sue Himmelrich and Ted Winterer.
Himmelrich also said she had "long believed in a voter-approval mechanism." Winterer defended the idea of voting on projects as an avenue worth exploring assuming it would be for projects outside of the existing zoning standards, once the city adopts the Downtown Community Plan.
How the Council will proceed is still very much up in the air. The agenda item simply called for staff to give a report on some option and O'Day amended the direction to City staff before the Council voted 6-to-0 to approve it to include open language about bringing back more information on what are the best practices in other cities.
The City Council will likely first hear and approve the city's Downtown Community Plan before further steps are taken. The Downtown Community Plan, which outlines design and development standards for the Santa Monica's newest — and most urban — neighborhood, is the last piece of the city's ongoing planning puzzle.
Once the Downtown Community Plan is approved, the process that started in middle of the first decade of the 21st century with the Land Use and Circulation Element update, will be concluded, at least for about another 20 years when the plans will need to be updated again.

If you've followed along with my craft madness for any length of time you will know that I have a thing for crowns... paper crowns... paper crowns with glint and glitter.
So I was chuffed that Alpha Stamps chose Winter Crowns as their December kit theme!
I didn't make my crowns in the round. I just used the kit template as it was. I figured this would be practical for two reasons: 1) shipping. MUCH easier to ship a flat crown than a round crown. 2) I have friends who claim to have massively large and unusually small heads. I figured leaving the edges free, those friends who have hair could simply keep them in place with bobby pins.
Two pins slipped over those loose ends and through the hair and those crowns stay in place pretty well!
And no need to worry about fitting.
If you have no hair I might suggest a little tape? Some glue?
I had planned on wearing these for Christmas dinner but the tissue crowns from our Christmas crackers won out. SO... I'm totally rocking one of these on New Years eve instead. I'm totally fancy like that!
I am not a morning person. At all. I need at least 3 mugs of coffee before I am civil. Ask me to pick between sunsets and rises and I will pick sets every time. But this morning the sky was pink and reflecting off the pristine snow and streaming through the white birch branches and I took notice.
BUT let's stay focused on nice things like happy moons and little houses.
A new moon shrine. This fellow measures 7" wide 10" tall and 1.25" deep. It's a tiny bit different than some of the other shrines I've made.
The clay used for the moon is different than the one I normally use. Those stars are something a little different too. Different isn't better or worse... it's just different.
Generally speaking, the only time different is bad is when someone uses it to describe your work. "Oh, that's different." This is the song of the choir that doesn't have praise for your art but doesn't want to offend you.
Those mushrooms are different too. I normally stick to paperclay, it's my preferred material, but these are polymer. Again... no better or worse, just different.
P.S. If you happen to be nearby, my doors will be open tomorrow, Saturday December 16th from 10am till 4pm. And I'll be around Sunday from 1pm until 3pm for stragglers. Stop in and say "Hello weirdo, you're work is... different."
Are you ready for Christmas? I am not. Not even close. But I've been keeping at the making.
Base is a wooden box and pedestal. Glittery night sky over vintage music papers. Wee house was pit fired in the back garden at Pixie Hill. Tiny toadstools are handmade from paperclay.
This wee thing measures approximately 3.5" wide, 6" tall, 2.5" deep.
It's December and I am not prepared for the holidays. Not one little bit! Despite not being holiday ready, I managed to churn this bad boy out.
Jollymaker's, a wintery toy shop window.
The base for this piece is a 10 inch bay window (available from Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts) which has been turned upsidedown. Although it's intended as an add-on to other pieces, I thought it was a great stand alone option for creating a piece both smaller in display size and a smaller creative commitment.
And this piece did come together relatively quickly! The brickwork is simply THIS scrapbook paper. Absolutely no fussy about on this one.
The fancy iron work that borders the top of the piece is Half Scale Widows Walk Fencing.
The Jester Jack-in-the-Box Toy there is pretty sweet too!
The windows are transparency sheets cut and looks rather lovely and frosty... as a winter window should!
No toy store window would be compete without a Toy Plane and Sailboat Set, Teddy Bear or Train Set. There's all that and more in that little space. It's amazing how much you can fit in a small area with a little organization.
Approximate overall size of this piece is 10.7" tall, 6" wide, 2.5" deep.
It's that time of year again when I itch to make some adorable little peg dolls. Honestly, how sweet are they with their cute striped legs?!?!
Normally I stick to fairies but this year I've mixed things up a bit by adding angels into the crew.
I'm not normally an angel person... but I can't resist a sparkly pipe cleaner halo.
Looking for wings? Might I suggest the following collage sheets?
I really like using tufts of wool roving for the hair. In a pinch you could use some cotton batting, heck you could use a cotton ball! You might even unravel some yarn or use some moss for their locks.
Just don't get hung up on making these perfect. I think they're so much more fun and charming with their imperfections. It gives them personality.
One word of caution: I use black gel or ink pen to add detailing. There have been times when certain inks react with certain paints. Save yourself some potential heartache, make a sample doll and ensure your ink/paint like one another and don't bleed, run, blur.
AND although I am aware of how brilliant you are, if you need help putting these adorable girls together I've created a video tutorial you might find useful. It's HERE over on my youtube channel. Go, watch, help me earn a fraction of a penny.
On to the list of requirements!


The bustling midnight munches at Manek Chowk, the intellectual missions at IIM and the soothing sounds of flowing waters define the city of Karnavati. Yes, that's the name by which Ahmedabad was known by, until the 1400s. Located on the banks of the Sabarmati River, Ahmedabad is the 7th most populated in the country. It has slowly and steadily emerged as an important industrial hub in India complimenting the business capital state of the country, Gujarat. But all this aside, Ahmedabad is also among the prime locations in the country where one can live.
Authentic, Humble, Modern, Educational-hub, Divine, Active, Beautiful, Alcohol-free & Dazzling are just a few words to describe life in Ahmedabad! The serenity of the Sabarmati Ashram, the peaceful environs of the Jama Masjid and the divine aura of the Swaminarayan Temple, illustrate the history and culture of this beautiful city. The Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Museum, Bhadra Fort, Calico Museum of Textiles, Kankaria Zoo, Auto World Vintage Car Museum, Nagina Wadi and Vastrapur Lake are just some other salient spots which make the city a pride to live in. Ahmedabad also rates high on the safety index. The time of Navratri, where the city dances till the wee hours of morning is a prime example of that.
Commute modes within the city are easily accessible and convenient. Auto rickshaws are easily available. Buses, which are run by the Ahmedabad Municipal Transport Services (AMTS) is the most preferred means of transportation used by locals. Taxi are also a good option with stands right next to the airport, railway station, and bus stand. Taxis can also be booked on a daily basis or as per requirements in which the driver stays with you for the complete journey and also help you understand alternative shortcut routes for places you want to visit.
Food is another reason why you would want to live in the city. Just like Mumbai has its mid-night indulgence zones, Ahmedabad too is not behind. Head straight to Manek Chowk to satisfy your midnight hunger pangs. Known especially for serving deliciously delightful chocolate cheese, pineapple cheese sandwiches and hot biryanis, Manek Chowk lights up the night with its numerous stalls. Grand Bhagwati, The Upper Crust, Rasranjan and Mirch Masala are some of the top places to try out for the yummiest of desserts and authentic cuisines.
Ahmedabad is also considered as a major hub for education in our country. It had a literacy rate of 79.89% in 2001, which further rose to 89.62 percent in the same year. The male and female literacy rate were 93.96 and 84.81 percent respectively, as per the 2011 census. The city aims to educate each and every citizen of the state and follow the 10+2 system pattern of school education. It houses some of the best higher education institutions in India namely the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) - Ahmedabad, Nirma Institute of Technology, and Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology.
With such good education facilities, great business growth comes in hand-in-hand in Ahmedabad. It is the hub of pharmaceutical, textile and chemical industries. In fact, it is considered among the top 10 fastest growing cities, offering a plethora of franchise opportunities. Ahmedabad is the largest inland industrial centre and the second largest industrial centre in Western India after Mumbai. With such excellent prospects for growth, it has numerous opportunities for one to explore, with many job opening across various skill sets.
Apart from business growth, Ahmedabad's real estate market has also grown tremendously over the past decade, thanks to the ultra-progressive policies and intelligent development governance. The city is providing extraordinary returns on its real estate projects, and it is also one of the most exciting places in India for investing. Developers & investors from all over the country are making a beeline to Ahmedabad for investing. Flats in Ahmedabad, serviced apartments and apartments in Ahmedabad, penthouses and townships are cropping up all over to meet their demands. 4 BHK in Ahmedabad are the most looked upto apartments. Some of the prime residential areas in the city are Shahibaug, Shantigram, Maninagar, etc.
Of these, Shantigram in Ahmedabad has flourished with Adani projects offering the best of all that makes life a pleasure to live. Spread over 600 acres with over 80% of it being open areas or with a green cover, Adani has changed the face of the city. Projects like, The North Park, La Marina, Water Lily, The Meadows, Elysium and Aangan have offered a plethora of larger than life amenities to those wishing to put down their roots in Ahmedabad. Picturesque greens of the Golf Course, one of the largest Musical Aqua Shows in the country, a sports complex spread across 50 acres, clubhouses with bountiful amenities and innovative architecture are amongst Adani Shantigram's top amenities. All of this is available for people who are looking for housing options i.e from 4 BHK, 3 BHK & 2 BHK in Ahmedabad to lavish villas because they aim to give everyone 'The Good Life'.
With such enormous amenities, Adani Shantigram is truly making Ahmedabad an address to live in. Therefore, if you are thinking to shift to Ahmedabad or looking for a prime property to invest in, then Adani Realty is the perfect choice for you!

Nordic Sound - Tribute to Axel Borup-Jørgensen was conceived as a musical memorial to the late Danish modern master, Axel Borup-Jørgensen. Five leading Danish and Faroese composers, Bent Sørensen, Sunleif Rasmussen, Thomas Clausen, Mogens Christensen and Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgreen, were commissioned by Edition Borup-Jørgensen and the composer's daughter, Elisabet Selin to write a recorder concerto for Michala Petri and string orchestra. The choice of the recorder was both an outgrowth of Borup-Jørgensen's decades long engagement with the instrument and as Petri's personal tribute, who became a "second daughter" to the composer.
Rather than writing music in "Axel's style", each of the composers was encouraged to reflect upon their own feelings and responses to the man and his music, from Christensen's shimmering modernism, and Clausen's congenial, neobaroque stylings, to the daunting and sometimes dark atmospheres of Sørensen, Rasmussen and Gudmundsen-Holmgreen. The premieres took place at a sold-out concert at Louisiana Museum for Modern Art on November 14, 2014 by Petri and the Lapland Chamber Orchestra under the direction of Clemens Schuldt. The concert was recorded for the Danish National Radio, and broadcast all over Europe. (Live Videos available on OUR Recordings YouTube Channel). Immediately after the concert, the whole team went to Lapland to record the program. Though he left behind no disciples and established no "school", Axel Borup-Jørgensen was a seminal figure in contemporary Danish musical life and deserving of much wider recognition.

Legatum Center Hosts 2nd Annual Conference
MIT Legatum Conference on Oct 2
The Legatum Center at MIT is holding its second annual conference on October 2nd, 2009 in Cambridge, MA. The Center's annual conference provides a forum for discussion of issues relating to entrepreneurship and international development. In 2008, the conference featured an unprecedented gathering of 5 Nobel Laureates in Economics, as well as entrepreneurs and innovators from around the world.
This year, the Legatum Center is hosting an address by Esko Aho, Prime Minister of Finland from 1991-1995 and Board Member and Executive Vice President of Nokia. In addition, the 2009 conference will feature three panels:
1) Entrepreneurship in low-income countries: This panel will include entrepreneurs from Africa and Asia, who will discuss their own enterprises and ways to promote entrepreneurship to further economic, social and political development. In addition, a senior economist will provide an overview of entrepreneurship trends across the globe and the effects that new governmental policies can have on encouraging or hindering entrepreneurial efforts.
2) Internet innovations that empower citizens in the developing world: This year's technology focus is the Internet. With a special kick-off keynote by Sir Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web, this panel will look at specific internet-based services that have empowered entrepreneurs and ordinary citizens in low-income countries. Speakers include the past president of Skype, a director from Cisco's Emerging Markets division, and a social entrepreneur who has leveraged the web to create job opportunities for people in the poorest countries of the world. This panel will be preceded by an overview of internet-innovations across the developing world
3) Investors who fund ventures in Africa, Asia, and Latin America: The conference's third panel will begin with keynote remarks by Gururaj "Desh" Deshpande, founder and chairman of several prominent companies including Sycamore Networks, and a supporter of innovation and enterprise, especially in India. The session will include a detailed discussion with investors who lead some of the most innovative funds that support Small- and Medium- size Enterprises (SMEs) in low-income countries. Moderated by an African entrepreneur, this panel will explore the risks and rewards to these types of investments, what investors look for in a business plan, and how, given the financial crisis in the West, investing in the poorest countries in the world is now more appealing than ever.

Hadinec červený (Echium maculatum) je stepní rostlina, nápadná svým až metr vysokým, červeno-fialovým květenstvím, jeden ze dvou druhů rodu hadinec rostoucích v české přírodě. Vyskytuje se jak v České republice, tak i v okolních státech jen řídce a je považován za rostlinu ohroženou vymizením.

Podle posledních zahraničních výzkumů nepatří tento druh do rodu Echium, ale pod jménem Pontechium maculatum je zařazován do nového, monotypického rodu Pontechium.

Rozšíření
Roste ve střední a jihovýchodní Evropě, v okolí Kavkazu, v Malé a Střední Asii i na Blízkém východě. Těžiště výskytu je na Ukrajině a na jihu evropského Ruska. Tento východoevropský druh je pouze výběžkovitě rozšířen do Střední Evropy. Západní hranice areálu sahá do Rakouska, České republiky a na Slovensko a severní probíhá východním Polskem, ve většině panonské nížiny však chybí.

V ČR roste pouze na jižní Moravě asi ve čtrnácti, převážně chráněných lokalitách, kde se nachází okolo sedmi stovek jedinců. Většina míst je v termofytiku na Jihomoravské pahorkatině. Vyrůstají například v národních přírodních rezervacích Na Adamcích (u Hodonína), Hádecká planinka (u Brna) a Větrníky (u Vyškova), v přírodních rezervacích Horky, Špidláky a Visengrunty i v přírodních památkách Hovoranské louky, Hrádek, Kamenný vrch a Louky pod Kumstátem. Byly také zjištěny výskyty na úbočí Bílých Karpat, např. v přírodní rezervaci Kobylí hlava. Na Hádech v Drahanské vrchovině byla z původních rostlin vysázena nová záložní populace.

Ekologie
Obvykle se nachází na suchých a slunných lesostepních stanovištích, na výslunných pahorcích a křovinatých stráních, v lemech a světlinách teplomilných listnatých lesů v nížinách až pahorkatinách. Je pro něj důležitý obsah živin v zemině, nejčastěji se vyskytuje ve vápnitých, hlinitých sprašových půdách, řidčeji v kamenitých. Často ho nalezneme na místech s neúplně zapojenou vegetací, což je podstatné i pro uchycení a vyklíčení jeho semenáčků. Vyhovují mu zvěří mírně narušovaná stanoviště.

Slabší jedinci kvetou jednou za život, nejčastěji ve svém druhém až třetím roce. Silnější rostliny se naopak rozrůstají do menších trsů a skupinky kvetoucích rostlin s dlouhou lodyhou bývají obzvlášť atraktivní.

Popis
Dvouletá až krátce vytrvalá bylina s přímou, nevětvenou lodyhou vysokou 40 až 100 cm. Vyrůstá ze ztlustlého kůlovitého kořene a jeho květná lodyha je pevná a srstnatě chlupatá. Přízemní růžici tvoří listy s dlouhým řapíkem, které jsou úzce kopinaté či úzce eliptické. Střídavé lodyžní listy jsou přisedlé, čárkovitě kopinaté a na koncích špičaté, všechny listy jsou celokrajné a srstnatě chlupaté.

Z úžlabí horních listů vyrůstají vijany květů a vytvářejí úzkou, jehlanovitou latu, z počátku jsou vijany krátké a stočené do spirály, později se napřimují a prodlužují. Přisedlé květy jsou oboupohlavné a rozvíjejí se od června do srpna. Pětidílný nálevkovitý kalich má lístky asi 5 mm dlouhé. Zvonkovitá, šikmo souměrná koruna je tvořena pěti nestejně velkými, červenými nebo fialově purpurovými (výjimečně bílými) laloky, korunní trubka je dvojnásobně dlouhá jako kalich. V květu je pět tyčinek které mají dlouhé, dolu ohnuté, purpurově červené nebo fialově purpurové nitky a jejich prašníky vyčnívají daleko z koruny. Čnělka je dlouhá a chlupatá a nese hlavičkovitou bliznu se dvěma laloky. Květy jsou protandrické, nejprve dozrávají prašníky a teprve později blizny, bývají opyleny hmyzem nebo dochází k samoopylení.

Plody jsou čtyři jednosemenné tvrdky sedící na dně vytrvalého kalichu, jsou asi 2 mm dlouhé a na povrchu bradavičnaté. Ploidie druhu je 2n = 24.

Rozmnožování
Rozmnožuje se zejména generativně tvrdkami, kterých rostlina vytváří dostatek, z jednoho květu vzniknou čtyři. Semena (tvrdky) po zimním přemrznuti dobře klíčí, avšak úmrtnost semenáčků je v prvních měsících značná. Nevyklíčená semena přežívají po delší dobu v semenné půdní bance. Prvým rokem vyroste jen listová růžice a teprve na jaře druhého či třetího roku z ní vypučí květonosná lodyha.

Vegetativně se rozšiřuje méně často, z krátkého oddenku vyroste jedna až několik postranních listových růžic. Každoročně vykvétá obvykle jen menší, podpoloviční část populací.

Možnost záměny
V české přírodě se mnohem častěji vyskytuje podobný druh hadinec obecný, který se odlišuje modrou barvou květů a širšími listy pokrytými bradavkami, ze kterých vyrůstají štětinovité chlupy.

Ohrožení
Hadinec červený se nikdy v přírodě České republiky nevyskytoval ve velkém množství. Patrně je to dáno tím, že se nachází na okraji areálu výskytu druhu a zdejší životní podmínky mu příliš nesvědčí. V minulosti byly kvetoucí stvoly rostlin používány do kytic, nebo byly celé rostliny neúspěšně přesazovány do zahrad. Pro tento druh jsou v české přírodě, s ohledem na klimatické podmínky, typické kolísající stavy jednotlivých populací.

Některé jeho lokality byly zničeny přímou destrukcí, jiné jsou ohrožovány eutrofizací stanovišť, zarůstáním travnatých ploch náletovými dřevinami nebo i úmyslným zalesňováním. Hadinec červený je proto považován za kriticky ohrožený druh jak "Vyhláškou MŽP ČR č. 395/1992 Sb. ve znění vyhl. č. 175/2006 Sb.", tak i "Červeným seznamem cévnatých rostlin České republiky" z roku 2012.
