Just how far back in human history the actual origins of holistic healing may lie is not known. It is likely that for many thousands of years before the written records, healing information was passed on from the master practitioner to the initiate through oral traditions. The first generally accepted use of plants as healing agents were depicted in the cave paintings discovered in the Lascaux caves in France, which have been radiocarbon dated to between 13,000 and 25,000 B.C. However, there is evidence that Neanderthals living 60,000 years ago in present day Iraq used plants for medicinal purposes. In 1960, at Shanidar Cave, Iraq, a Neanderthal man was uncovered who had been buried with eight species of medicinal plants (Lietave 263). From the evidence of petroglyphs and artifacts, it seems that such a base of healing knowledge was acquired within numerous ancient tribal communities. Perhaps, over time the healing concepts came to the wise persons in the group and gradually evolved to become healing systems. Then, as this knowledge base expanded over the generations, tribal culture developed into specialized areas and the roles that are now known as healers or shamans.

The Healing Benefits
Water is a medium that is able to amplify and send energetic wave patterns. The ability of water to copy, memorize, and carry energetic signals and messages was shown in the 1980s by researcher Jacque Benveniste. In an experiment, he exposed ordinary water to the recorded signals of acetylcholine and ovalbumin. The recordings were then introduced to isolated guinea pig hearts. The effects of the digitized water were identical to the effects on the heart produced by the actual substances of acetylcholine and ovalbumin. This experiment and others like it, although controversial, provide insight into the importance of water in cellular communication and the ability of water to duplicate and transmit the energy frequencies of a substance. The ability of water to copy and memorize information is also the theory behind the potentization process that is used in homeopathy (Lloyd 65). . . MORE!

The Origins of Holistic Medicine
By Theda Renee Floyd, PhD, RN, HHP
Holism and holistic medicine are often thought of as new concepts only recently developed, but they are actually rooted in antiquity. Ancient cultures such as the Indians, Chinese, Europeans, Native Americans, and others, have applied holistic principles in their healing practices for centuries. As early as 5,000 B.C., the physician sages formulating the healing traditions of Ayurvedic medicine from India and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) from China recognized that health represented a balance of body, mind, spirit, and the universe. This belief was, and remains, the underlying foundation in the healing traditions of indigenous peoples around the globe.
Ayurveda is the healing gift to us from the ancient enlightened Vedic culture of India. It originated as part of Vedic Science, an integral spiritual practice that provides a comprehensive understanding of the entire universe of matter, mind, and consciousness (Frawley 6). The ancient seers or rishis manifested truth in their daily lives through intensive meditation. In the close relationship between man and the universe, the rishis perceived how cosmic energy manifests in all living and nonliving things, and realized that the source of all existence is Cosmic Consciousness (Lad 15). Ayurveda teaches that each of us is a universe within ourselves, a microcosm, and a child of the cosmic forces of the external environment, the macrocosm. Ayurveda views health and illness in holistic terms, taking into consideration the inherent relationship between individual and cosmic spirit, individual and cosmic consciousness, energy and matter (18). Although the ancient Vedic texts were not written down until beginning around 1500 B.C., they include astronomical records that indicate the Vedic system, including Ayurveda, was in practice before 4000 B.C. Ayurveda became the basis of the healing traditions of Tibet, Sri Lanka, and Burma, and also influenced TCM (Frawley 6).
Huang Di, the Yellow Emperor, reigned over the northern part of China during the third millennium B.C., or about 5,000 years ago. He wrote The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Medicine which remains one of the most important classics of both Taoism and TCM. This book includes a wealth of knowledge concerning the etiology, physiology, diagnosis, therapy (including acupuncture), and prevention of disease; as well as in depth investigations of such diverse subjects as ethics, psychology, and cosmology. These subjects are discussed in a holistic context that indicates life is not fragmented, as in the model provided by modern science, but rather that all pieces make up an interconnected whole. Through comprehension of the natural laws of a holistic universe, the way to promote a long, happy, and healthy life is revealed (Ni xii-xiii).
In Europe, some 5300 years after his violent death, a Stone Age man often referred to as the Icemen or Ötzi was found frozen in an Alpine glacier near the Italian border with Austria. Since his discovery in 1991, the Iceman has slowly revealed his secrets to a global team of scientists. The Iceman carried a medicine pouch containing medicinal mushrooms of which it is believed he was self-medicating. He had approximately fifty-seven carbon tattoos consisting of simple dots and lines on his lower spine, behind his left knee, and on his right ankle. Using x-rays, it was determined that the Iceman likely had arthritis in these joints. The tattoos, then, had been placed to target the arthritic areas as an early form of acupuncture. It seems that well over 5000 years ago, the Icemen had access to holistic healing information focused on multidimensional levels.
What is known is that in ancient times life was perceived as being an interconnected whole, and energy was understood as a force which permeated the entire system. However, as science developed and religious outlooks shifted, especially in the West, certain things came to be designated as clearly spiritual or of the spirit world, while all the rest were clearly material or of the physical world. The spiritual and material no longer penetrated and mingled with each other as described for thousands of years in indigenous cosmologies, mystery schools, and sacred texts; instead, they had become separated (Angelo 4-5).
The roots of allopathic medicine came into medical dominance only recently, in the early twentieth century, and can be traced back to the French philosopher René Descartes (1596-1650). Descartes believed that the basic principles ruling nature could be obtained by a combination of pure reason and mathematical logic. With his words Cogito ergo sum (I think, therefore I am), he introduced the concept of dualism: We sense our environment with our brains but regard it with our minds (What is 54). His approach was analytic and involved breaking down a problem into its parts and arranging them logically, a technique which is still constantly at use in science. This method of operation is termed reductionism, because its basic assumption is that we can reduce a phenomenon to a collection of independent components. If we can understand each of the components taken independently, we can then understand the entire phenomenon, in a way that is similar to our understanding of the operation of a machine. Holism, the opposite of reductionism, assumes that some phenomena, if not all, can only be understood as integrated wholes, and so cannot be broken down into independent parts (Slavin 7).
In his 1926 book, Holism and Evolution, prominent South African and British Commonwealth statesman, military leader, and philosopher Jan Christiaan Smuts (1870-1950) reintroduced the concept of holism, defining it as "the tendency in nature to form wholes that are greater than the sum of the parts through creative evolution" (Wikipedia 2). However, it wasn't until the 1970s that holistic became a common adjective in our modern vocabulary. Accordingly, holistic medicine embodies the view that the individual is an integrated whole, independent of and greater than the sum of the parts. As wellness is a state of balance, oneness, and wholeness, holistic medicine seeks to harmonize the body with the subtle energies that are its origin; thereby, eliminating the imbalances that are the root cause of illness.
Today, investigators in a growing number of scientific fields are increasingly recognizing that everything is connected very strongly with everything else. Natural structures vary from the level of the tiniest subatomic particle to the immense universe, but each possesses specific characteristics within the structure and is governed by similar principles of organization. At the most fundamental level, substance is not made of hardcore elements, atoms, and molecules; it is made of ultra-minute waveforms. Nothing is entirely closed or independent; rather, everything is very sensitively connected with everything else (Laszlo, Will 2). All parts of such a coherent system are so correlated that what happens to one part also happens to the other parts (Laszlo, Science 25). The material universe is actually a coherent web of interrelated events. None of the properties of any part of this web is more important than another and the overall consistency of their interrelations determines the structure of the entire web.
Like the universe, humans too are comprised of complex, integrated systems interacting and supporting each other on various vibrational levels. We are living systems that are continuously receiving and transmitting information (Laszlo, Will 2). A change in any one part of the system affects all the other parts. As with a kaleidoscope, the slightest turn changes the whole scenario. Changes are occurring at all levels simultaneously and continuously. Treating the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels of an individual as unrelated systems fragments the whole self compounding existing problems and establishing new ones. Socrates (469-399 B.C.) warned that treating only one part of the body would not have good results, ". . . for the part can never be well unless the whole is well" (Plato 167). Holistic medicine is universal and rooted in the continuing principle of healing as a personal evolution.

I had picked up Daisy and we saw our movie. We went to see 'Happy Death Day', which was very interesting and amazing. I was still in a daze of what had happened last night and this morning with Madame Shelley. "M, are you okay?" Daisy asked me as I was dropping her off. "Yes, I'm okay. I'll see you later, Days." She smiled and hugged me as she went to her car. I watched as she drove away. I stayed in the parking lot and parked my car. I am deep into thought of me and Kieran. "Maria, get a grip! He isn't obsessed with you!" I said to myself. My thoughts were interrupted by the 'Sherlock' theme song I placed as my ringtone. It was my Grandma Amy. "Sweetheart, I know you said you were gonna come home at 5, but can you be home at 10?" I was puzzled and asked, "Why? is everything okay?" Grandma Amys sighs and says, "Well, your grandfather and I wanted a night together. I sent some money to your account. Go see a movie, eat, or anything. But be home by 10." We said goodbye and hung up. I look around at the strip mall I was at and saw a clothing store. I lock my car and walk towards it. In the window was a beautiful flowy white dress with both tank and off-the-shoulder straps and a plunging sweetheart neckline. Along the bottom of the dress was a 31' inch slit that exposed my left leg. Luckily, it was floor length and wouldn't drag as I walked. I then decided to buy it, along with some silver heels and flats. In total, it was $75 but not that bad. I then decide to go head towards a hamburger joint. I walk in and sit in a booth. Men were staring at me and women were hitting the men staring at me. "Hi, what can I get you today?" I quickly looked at the menu and said, "I'll have a bacon and mushroom cheeseburger with curly fries and also, a small order of fried pickles, please. And a cherry Coke." The lady nodded her head and left. I then decided to call Daisy to see if she did want to hang out again. No answer. She must be busy, I thought. My fried pickles were brought out with ranch and my cherry Coke. I then see I'm next to a wall plug so I plug my phone in and watch Netflix. I scroll for my shows and saw 'Walking Dead' had new episodes. I was then given my burger and started eating while watching my show. After eating, I paid my bill and left. It was already 7:25. I then called Daisy again. No answer. "Something's wrong," I said. I get into my car and then drive to her home. Her car is there and I see her running out of her home with a gym bag and suitcase. I get down and yell, "Daisy! You scared me!" Daisy was panting and said, "I'm sorry! My grandmother was admitted to the hospital. I had to rush her to get her clothes! We'll talk tomorrow, okay?" I hugged her and she dashed off to her car. I then left to my home. I parked away from the house and snuck into my room through the window. I hear slow music in the living room. I then decide to try on my dress and let my hair down. I look in the mirror and twirl in my dress. I became dizzy after stupidly doing that. As I was going to undress, I heard a voice. "Maria." I turned to see a mist-like figure standing at my window. Then, it disappears. Curious, I placed on my flats and snuck outside again. The mist floated into the woods. I followed it even though it was dark. As the mist disappeared, I heard a growl. A low growl. I turned around and I saw a creature with red eyes and sharp teeth. I gasped loudly and ran for my life. The creature chased me. I began screaming and yelling, "Please! Someone help me!" The creature was gaining on me. Finally, the creature captured me and pinned me to the ground. I whimper and say, "Please. Please don't hurt me." The creature smiled and leaned in to whisper in my ear. "Mine." I then blacked out and sank into the dark abyss that awaited me.

Steel City Pops in Downtown Tuscaloosa, Alabama Appears to be Permanently Closed
Stephen Dethrage Published: January 27, 2022
(Noah Lueker | Tuscaloosa Thread)
The Tuscaloosa location of Birmingham's much-beloved Steel City Pops store appears to have closed permanently.
The gourmet popsicle shop opened on the corner of University Boulevard and 22nd Avenue in the heart of downtown Tuscaloosa in 2016, but a sign in the window now indicates the store is closed for good.
"Sorry!" the sign reads. "We have closed this store, but please visit our Birmingham store or order online."
A sign in the window of Tuscaloosa's Steel City Pops indicates the gourmet popsicle shop has permanently closed.
(Stephen Dethrage | The Tuscaloosa Thread)
The Tuscaloosa Thread has been attempting to reach a spokesperson for Steel City Pops since mid-January, but multiple calls and emails have gone unreturned.
If the store has permanently closed, it follows a string of tough decisions for the dessert brand.
The store closed its original location in Homewood, Alabama in January 2021, which then-CEO Pete Srodoski attributed to a number of factors, including dramatic decreases in foot traffic and local events thanks to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Months later, in November 2021, the company closed all its stores in Kentucky, where they did business in Louisville, Lexington and Prospect.
A letter obtained by Louisville Fox affiliate WDRB from CEO Mike Elhaj said he had made the difficult decision to close the majority of their stores and lay off staff in a bid to survive another day and try to "come back stronger" in 2022.
It is not clear when and why the Tuscaloosa store closed, but it is a safe bet that similar factors and the ongoing damage done by the pandemic to small business owners were responsible.
As of Thursday afternoon, the Steel City Pops website lists just two locations -- one in Birmingham, and another in Fort Worth, Texas.
Stay connected to the Tuscaloosa Thread for updates from the company if any are provided and for exclusive restaurant and retail news in and around the Druid City.

PASO: 50-year history and a promising future!
by Editorial Staff - 22 December 2022
PASO, the protagonist of S News 67 issue cover, was born on February 3, 1973 thanks to a team of managers and technicians from the well-known Geloso, a historic company founded in Milan in 1931. From Geloso, PASO not only inherits the intellectual property of brands and patents, but above all a technical know-how of the highest value that will project PASO on the market in the following years as one of the main brands specialized in the production of amplifiers, mixers, microphones and speakers for the Public Address world.
A focal point of PASO's evolution is the transition from a company initially focused on the PA market to a company very active in the Safety & Fire world.
For the world of Safety & Fire, PASO has gradually and steadily made fundamental part of its engineering, production and marketing activities, creating a perfect union between the historical know-how coming from the audio field and the world of security. This has led the R&D to design and obtain an EN 60849 certificate for its first VES systems, when the EN 54 standard was not yet mandatory for VA.
This far-sightedness has allowed PASO to become a leader in this sector over the last decade, amidst professionalism, innovation and constant research. The importance of sound quality has always been an essential point, even more in the world of VA where the intelligibility is a must.
In this regard, the internal R&D is always looking for innovative and smart solutions to respond and satisfy the majority of installation needs: practicality and ease of use, guaranteeing, at the same time, the compliance with the required standards with particular attention to the sound quality.
However, innovation does not involve the R&D department alone, but important investments have been made also in the factory, where automated line for SMD pick & place machines, a cutting-edge technology, leading PASO within the industry 4.0 and allowing a production in house in Italy. In fact, Made in Italy is one of the PASO company's strengths.
Participation in the most important international trade fairs of the safety and security sector, has provided the company with great visibility also in foreign markets, within which an important distribution network has developed over time allowing the brand to gather new foreign local certifications and approvals, so as the UAE Civil Defence one finalized in 2022.
PASO 50th anniversary, source of great pride, falls in 2023 and will therefore be the occasion of special celebrations. So for the next years, we can only wish to PASO to continue its growth, corroborated by continuous R&D activities for new solutions, and to expand further the range of products dedicated to Safety & Fire, continuing writing other chapter of this story which, starting from far away, has reached the present days.

Digital Spy presents 10 things you may not know about the British showbiz icon.
Singer, presenter, matchmaker extraordinaire and probably the most Liverpudlian person alive - Cilla Black is a woman of many titles.
She burst onto the '60s music scene with her number one single 'Anyone Who Had A Heart', and quickly became established as a national treasure. The BBC snapped her up to present her own variety show, Cilla, and in the '80s she began presenting ITV's tongue-in-cheek Blind Date - which she continued to host for nearly 20 years.
Earlier this year she received a special BAFTA for her contribution to television, and is now the subject of a three-part ITV biopic starring Sheridan Smith, starting tonight.
In celebration of this, we've dug up ten things you may not know about the British showbiz icon.
1. Priscilla Maria Veronica White was born on May 27, 1943 in Liverpool. Desperate to become a star, she got her first gig playing at the city's Casanova Club, and began performing there as Swinging Cilla. When the local music newspaper Mersey Beat wrote an article about her they mistakenly referred to her as Cilla Black, but she took a shine to it, and decided to use it as her stage name.
2. Signed by Beatles manager Brian Epstein, Cilla knew the band closely - even occasionally acting as hairdresser to Ringo Starr's mum. Paul McCartney and John Lennon wrote several of her hits, including her debut single 'Love Of The Loved', though perhaps their most important contribution to her life was when George Harrison introduced her to avocados. Apparently, he told her you can have them with vinaigrette, Marie Rose sauce, or prawns - which we're sure you'll agree is world-changing advice.
3. Part of Cilla's appeal lies in her enduring innocence and 'good girl' image, but she wasn't always on the straight and narrow. When she was 10 years old she stole a lorry, realised she couldn't drive it, and promptly crashed it into a lamppost. Thankfully, nobody was hurt.
4. She married her childhood sweetheart and manager Bobby Willis in 1969, and has never been with anyone else. Willis died in 1999 of lung cancer, and when Cilla was recently questioned on whether she'd look for love again, she responded: "I'm a 'never say never' girl, but I don't see the point when you've had the best."
5. Cilla's retro vocals have always been a source of debate. Some love her brassy charm, while others... not so much. Once, when performing in a pantomime, she asked the audience how she should kill off the baddie, and a young boy screamed: "Sing to him!" Ouch.
6. Her two decades presenting Blind Date saw Cilla become the highest-paid female performer on British television, but landing the role was a back-handed compliment to say the least. ITV producer Alan Boyd wanted to buy the rights for the dating show, but the Independent Broadcasting Authority didn't want it on air because of its 'sexual connotations'. Apparently, a few days later, Cilla received a phone call from Boyd, who said: "I've thought of an idea how to pass it by the IBA. I thought, 'Who is the most sexless person on television?' and I thought of you!" The rest, as they say, is history. Check out this amazing outtake from the show's early days.
7. How's this for a famous neighbour: Cilla lives next door to none other than Great British Bake Off judge and soggy bottom aficionado Mary Berry. Despite Mary's baking prowess however, their friendship hasn't inspired Cilla to follow suit. "I've been round there for lunch, but it hasn't rubbed off on me," she said. "My idea of baking is buying a ready-make cake mix and throwing in an egg. Mary won't be impressed."
8. Everyone's got that little something that gets on their nerves, but Cilla has a rather more unusual pet peeve: unwrapped food. Canapés, starters, party food buffets, cheese on a stick - anything that's been sitting out, Cilla can't stand. Appearing on Room 101, Cilla declared: "There's nothing going into my mouth that's not wrapped."
9. Though not often a figure of controversy, in 2003 Cilla found herself at the centre of a huge row involving The Guardian. Artist Gillian Wearing had designed a cover for the paper's G2 supplement that read, in large letters, "F**K CILLA BLACK". It intended to represent the end of Cilla's brand of "nice television" after the rise of reality shows like Big Brother, but attracted a storm of criticism for its explicit wording. But what was Cilla's own reaction to the cover? "It upset some of my family, but I was flattered," she explained. "I wanted to buy it and hang it on my wall. 'Course, I'd have had to take it down when Cliff [Richard] came around; he doesn't like swearing!"
10. In 2001, Cilla performed a sexually-charged rendition of 'You Gotta Have A Gimmick' at the Royal Variety Show with Lily Savage and Barbara Windsor. There's nothing we can say about this without ruining it. Watch for Cilla's astonishing solo at 2:34. You'll never look at love hearts the same way again.

Today, every business tries to woo its audience by adding engaging videos and clips online. Marketers use facial expressions, music, and customizing voices, to produce engaging and charged videos. Undoubtedly, video content not only represents your brand as a whole but can be easily shared by consumers. According to HubSpot 54% of customers prefer to watch videos compared to other marketing tactics.

Is Your Company At Risk? The Signs To Watch Out For


Almost no one talks about the Albany. Those that do always mention the silence. On hearing this I thought of the silence 'like a thin rain' that Graham Greene, a former resident, described during his sojourns into the fictional landscape of 'Greeneland'. It has seeped into the very being of those that live here and those that have left. And so, for centuries this Grade 1 Georgian apartment block on Piccadilly has kept its mystique. Bombs, scandal and the 1960s left few scars and brought little change. In 1969 The Beatles gave their last public performance, on the roof of the Apple Corps building at No 3 Saville Row. At the 69 apartments of the Albany, concealed behind its shuttered rear entrance on Vigo Street, at the foot of Savile Row, windows didn't open and curtains didn't twitch. Not even'Don't Let Me Down' echoing through its cloistered Rope Walk, through its hallowed corridors punctuated by marble busts of revered inhabitants from the past - Lord Byron among them - could stir the Albany. Aristocrats, historians, writers, actors and several prime ministers have occupied its 'sets', as the apartments are known. The day the Beatles played Edward Heath - he became the British premier the following year - was a resident. In his novel 'The Bachelor of the Albany' (1848), Marmion Wilard Savage reveals that it's' the retreat of superannuated fops, the hospital for incurable oddities'. In recent years the designer Christopher Gibbs, a long-standing resident, gave the New York Times a thumbnail sketch of life on the inside. He cast it as a monastery in which the customary Trinity has been replaced by 'secular devotions of exacting taste, the pleasures of life and a romantic nostalgia for England's past'.
The current cost of a 'set' begins in the early millions; weekly rental in the early thousands. The interiors lack the opulent staples of new residences nearby, and the 'penthouse perfection' formeryresident Bryan Ferry sang about on 'In Every Dream Home a Heartache'. The forthcoming The Clarges development, along with The Mellier on Albemarle Street have increased the desirability of 'southern Mayfair', as Piccadilly is now referred to. But the exclusivity of the Albany is synonymous with class, pedigree, and old money in a rarefied world. One in which insiders never mention money, or discuss the Albany, because it would be bad form. And believe me, I've asked.
It begins with the definite article. Purists omit the definite article as the early settlers did at Albany. Was this where I went wrong? Tucking it in the emails and letters to past and present residents in an effort to gain access. 'Albany, and virtually all its residents, place great weight on shying away from any form of publicity', was the prompt response from the committee secretary Commander Wellesley-Harding, 'and whilst the odd snippet emerges from time to time from a resident who doesn't quite see things that way, I cannot as a 'hired hand' breach the policy'.
I'd written and presented documentaries on housing for BBC 4. One on the history of council housing (The Great Estate) and the other on the suburbs (Everyday Eden). I'd covered the working class and rising, the final piece of the triptych was the upper classes and the Albany, well - perfect. Its story has stayed with me for an age, as the building came to represent both that Masonic-like world of an establishment elite defined by public schools, Oxbridge and the aristocracy, and the refuge of the donnish bachelor that devotes himself to the life of the mind. If there was once glamour in the Albany I suspectedit had now succumbed to a jaded elegance. I think it was Peter York who told me the Albany was a kind of 'Westenders'. A toff Trumpton. The view chimes with the idyllic tableaux offered by Christoper Gibbs: 'old-timers sitting in the little ivy-lined garden, sunning themselves by the little bronze statue of Antinous'. I mailed Gibbs at his antique emporium in Pimlico. He wasn't talking. He'd said enough. Maybe too much: 'Residents who are deemed indiscreet risk a ritual scourging by the trustees. So ingrained is the sense of decorum that even to utter a friendly hello to a neighbour as we pass on the stone stairs or the covered outdoor canopy, might be violating a taboo'.
I spotted the Albany as a teenager in the 1970s, passing through Savile Row, pausing to decipher the graffiti coating the door to The Beatles HQ. Then later traipsing this stretch while training to be a tailor. The Albany often came up. The gold letters of its name fading in the sun on Vigo Street: the password to England's romantic past, and to an elitist English present that the rest of us would never gain entry. It was a similar experience for the actor Terence Stamp, before Billy Budd propelled him into the national consciousness in 1962. In his autobiography Double Feature, he recalls telling the interior designer Christopher Bennison: 'I saw this place when I was a messenger boy. Had a feeling about it….don't actually know what it is, often comes to mind though. It's called the Albany…For years I had fantasies about entering the place'. Bennison was friends with the art historian John Richardson who had a set on the Rope Walk. Stamp went for tea (Dundee cake from Fortnum & Mason, which Richardson referred to as the local 'tuck shop'). Within weeks a neighbour headed to New York to work at Sotheby's and the actor took over the apartment. When Richardson moved to New York, Bryan Ferry moved into his chambers. The humble origins of Stamp and Ferry make them rarities in the history of the Albany. Something that may soon change.
One afternoon last Autumn I was at the tailor Huntsman on Savile Row, researching an essay. Established in 1849 it remains upper echelon English. The heads of pursed-lipped stags punctuate the walls in its showroom. Suspended from the rafters the patterns cut for esteemed figures from antiquity. Yet it's owned by a a Belgian hedge fund manager. While Hardy Amies, Kilgour, Gieves & Hawkes have been colonised by the empire building of Chinese billionaires. Was the Albany about to surrender to the ch-ching, ch-ching of new money from super rich foreigners? ( Swiss bankers and new york art dealers are rumoured to have entered the premises in the last decade). They will have a battle on their hands. More than half of the sets are owned by Peterhouse college at Cambridge university. These were bequeathed by one the Albany's longest serving residents William Stone (he died in 1958 at 101).
'We have a list of purchasers specifically looking to purchase in Albany', says Jenna Buck at Mayfair estate agent Knight Frank. 'They understand that Sets are so rare that it might take a good number of years until a new Set presents itself. Most residents have been in Albany for many years'. A rental apartment appeared last year. Bereft of furniture. Stripped walls. All cracks and shadows. Momentarily, when looking at the images of the interior, the Albany of the nineteenth century namechecked by Dickens and Oscar Wilde materialised. Even more so the tenure of the historian Thomas Macaulay, who left in 1865 after fifteen years: 'The books are gone, and the shelves look like a skeleton….. It is the corpse of what it was on Sunday….To-day, even while I climbed the endless steps, panting and weary, I thought it was for the last time, and the tears would come into my eyes.' It was here that the former Whig politician applied himself to his mammoth legacy 'The History of England' (1848). Macaulay was writing of a period in England that ended a century before the Albany came into being. The 18th century three-storey mansion of Viscount Melbourne was converted into bachelor apartments in 1802, by the architect Henry Holland. Two rows of buildings were added, and between them the covered Rope Walk that connects the main entrance on Piccadilly with the north gate on Vigo Street. The covenant that was in place from the beginning resonates in the present, and explains the absence of infants, pets, whistling and anyone without the required credentials.
The American author and academic Philip Bobbitt lives here. He's almost American aristocracy; the nephew of former US president 'LBJ' with Princeton, Yale and Havard on his resumé. He's in Texas for half of the year and returns to the Albany in summer; he finds it easier to write here. A mutual friend attempts to put us in touch. Still no word. John Richardson was worth a try. He exemplifies a particular moment in the history of the building with his upper-crust English accent and a Britishness that has become more pronounced the longer he's lived in the US. Still no word. Anyway, I can fill in the blanks. He moved here in 1960, returning from Provence following the break-up of his lengthy relationship with the art collector Douglas Cooper. The multi-volumed A Life Of Picasso (1991) is the work with which Richardson has become synonymous. Picassos were hung in his apartment on the Rope Walk, along with the bleached shell of a giant turtle. The playwright Terence Rattigan lived here between 1945-1951, and for a short time shared his chambers with a young actor. It was from this building The Albany Trust took its name. Founded in 1958 to campaign for the decriminilisation of homosexuality its first meetings occurred in the rooms of J.B Priestley. The writer and broadcaster was representative of that new post-war mood, with the arrival of a Labour government. A fellow traveller, Patrick Hamilton, author of Hangover Square wrote of the working classes that inhabited the pubs that he frequented and then crossed London to his Albany home in those years. Priestley, Hamilton, and later Graham Greene were men of the left. They championed socialism, communism even, yet clung to the cornerstones of the old order: the public school, Oxbridge, the Albany. Priestley was a snob about the suburbs. Hamilton loathed the working class for choosing consumerism over revolution. Greene evacuated the Albany and England in 1966, partly because of the 'braying of the English middle classes'. During his residency he often walked to Belgravia for 'shepherd's pie evenings' with friends, sending around two bottles of 1950 Cheval Blanc the day before so the sediment could settle.
If these figures championed the demise of the class system other 'Albanians' generated towards the aristocracy. The US-born socialite Fleur Cowls editor of Flair magazine ( 'the best things, the first things, uniting its readers in an aristocracy of taste'), occupied fives sets with her third husband from the 1960s. The interior designer Ashley Hicks currently lives here, long after his parents arrived in 1969. He has said of his father David Hicks: 'He was the greatest snob who ever lived', who once bragged that his 'one great achievement' was marrying the daughter of Lord Mountbatten. David Hicks, perhaps the most fêted interior designer of the 1960s and 1970s, broke with traditional notions of good taste with clashing colours, patterned carpets, abstract painting, in his commissions for English country houses and the White House. In his last refurbishment of the Albany apartment, three years before his death in 1998, Hicks opted for the silky chocolate brown walls that become his signature, when cherry-red sofas and purple carpets were deemed passé. His wife, Lady Pamela Hicks, who finally left the Albany in 2013, claimed this was inspired by her throwing glasses of Coke at her husband during domestics. 'Wish I could help', Ashley Hicks says in of a series of courteous emails, when I ask about the Albany. 'I'd love it to be better known and documented, personally, but I am rather in the position of being back at school and having to obey (most of) the rules'. One who broke them was the artist Keith Coventry.
In 2009 at the Haunch of Venision gallery in the eyeline of the Albany on Piccadilly Coventry exhibited his 'Echoes of the Albany' pictures, inspired by his brief spell there in the 2000s. The 40 figurative paintings featured some of the characters from Albany's past, in reds, whites and pinks. A superficial rose-tinted world - literally - with seedy undertones. The writer Michael Bracewell mentioned 'the dirt beneath the finger nails of status and super wealth', when writing about the works. The images of crack-smoking seemed a stretch, but scandalous rumours about the Albany's inner sanctum have bubbled to the surface over time. Tales of call girls and rent boys clattering along the Rope Walk in the early hours. Condoms floating in the Albany pond. These, along with the shenanigans of Tory grandee Alan Clarke, were overlooked by the discreet porters. Another Tory MP, Jacob Rees Mogg was here in the early 1990s. He tells me he lived in D6, but little else: 'This had been Isaiah Berlin's set'. Perhaps the greatest scandal, or rather tragedy, came in 2000. The style writer John Morgan, author of Debrett's Guide To Etiquette & Modern Manners fell to his death at 41. His origins, like those of Coventry, Ferry, Stamp were at odds with the backgrounds of most Albany residents. He'd jettisoned the provinces for the capital, stuffing another accent in his mouth and taking on the mantle of the archetypal Albany bachelor in Saville Row suits and handmade shoes. But he soon lacked the funds to maintain his lifestyle, rather like Byron centuries before. He was thought to have committed suicide, leaping from the bathroom window of his fourth floor set. But the coroner ruled on accidental death. Pointing out that if it was suicide there would have been a note - and on Smythson's notepaper..
Is this where he fell? I wonder, crossing the courtyard ahead of the palladian entrance. Did windows open? Did curtains twitch? Spotting me, the porter steps from his lodge and attempts to fill the main doorway. The top hat has gone but the uniform remains. I think of Terence Stamp when he first visited: ' I had actual butterflies in my gut, as bad as first night'; of the porter putting Keith Coventry to bed when he came back drunk. There is a 'set' up for sale on the open market, in the main house of the former mansion. Who will buy at £6.95 million? Are Russian oligarchs, Chinese billionaires, Americans and Europeans circling the wagons, keen to invest in history and heritage? The set belongs to Peterhouse College, and so whoever puts in a bid is likely to be vetted by both the college and the Albany committee. They don't want wide boys and Ferraris. While many a rich foreigner is likely to opt for the modern Mayfair apartments where everything is operated by the touch of an ipad. This set has no central heating and is in need of a makeover at the hands of a contemporary Hicks or Bennison. There are scars left from floor to ceiling bookcases. The remaining furniture brings to mind the day bed at Christopher Gibbs place, once owned by Tennyson. This was the home of the academic philosopher Lord Quinton for the last ten years of his life, and that of his widow for the last five. The small kitchen upstairs is a hangover from the days when staff occupied the box room next to it. Today, the rooms house the remnants of the lives lived here, ready for the removal van: sculptures on plinths and gilt-framed paintings, alongside a puzzle, a beer mat, and among the books, Plato's Symposium - a clue to the career of the former tenant. I'm not sure the Eton-educated estate agent is convinced I can afford this. I'm probably poorer than the porters, and no where near as posh. I've been told that discretion is key; shoes and watches are the clues to the wealth of the residents. I'm wearingbrogues by Loake, no watch, and my vowels are getting flatter by the minute. I use the bathroom, like a dog spraying its scent. I've finally entered the Albany. The small bathroom is a nod to the Sixties, or earlier, and themes that I've seen emulated in homes in Kent, Essex and elsewhere, in the pursuit of high-end class, style and glamour. Except here the marble tops and chandeliers are real. But why a small square mirror on the ceiling, directly above the toilet? Oh, what stories the rooms at the Albany could tell.
Earlier this year at Sotheby's in New York, furniture and objets d'art belonging to Terence Stamp was auctioned off. Much of it from his Albany days. He left in January 1969 via the rear entrance, looking skyward and stepping into a cab as The Beatles were playing 'Don't Let Me Down'. Regretting that he never asked his former girlfriend, the model Jean Shrimpton, to share his Albany rooms. 'When I moved into the Albany, Piccadilly', he told Sotheby's, 'one of Britain's great interior decorators, Geoffrey Bennison, advised me to furnish the chambers in the Georgian and corresponding French period styles in which they were built. John Richardson, the Picasso expert, steered me initially to Picasso ceramics…. There was an Empire daybed that Geoffrey had widened in order to accommodate two people comfortably. A large polar bear skin, complete with gaping jaw, lay across bare floorboards'.
I share the same agent as Stamp. I hope this might swing it. I want him to tell me all that the Albany symbolises to him. In 1967, he appeared in the Ken Loach film Poor Cow. Filming took place at The Palatinate, a condemned building in south east London, around the corner from where I lived. The name suggested the grandeur of the Albany, but here were two tenement blocks built a century before. Each five storeys high with a courtyard to the rear; a cracked concrete margin blotted with potholes, across which rope lines were suspended and from which washing was hung as though noosed, in all seasons. It was demolished as part of the regeneration of the neighbourhood. The Palatinate represented the working class world that Stamp left; the Albany the one he arrived at. He was one of those rare creatures that made the leap from east end boy to west end boy in the mythical social revolution of the 1960s. 'That first afternoon', he writes in his autobiography, 'I rolled around in front of the fireplace, hugging myself in reassurance it was true'. His story mattered more than anyone's. I wanted him to talk more than anyone. But he too is muted by the ancient oath of omertà.
Much has been made of the sepulchral tranquility between these walls. Standing here, staring into the the Rope Walk and the tiny patios with statues of griffins (those mythical creatures that guard wealth and treasure), I'm reminded of the silence that the dissidents refer to. The sounds that pierce that silence are the sounds that always have: birdsong, the chimes of St James church, the hourly tinkle of the Eton Boating Song from the Fortnum & Mason clock. Christopher Gibbs has written of a drunken baronet who drowned in his bath, and whose spirit was lodged in a dumb waiter here. But there must be other ghosts from its history accounting for the odd click and creak. Macaulay mounting the attic stairs at night. The swish of Lady Caroline Lamb's cape when dressed a pageboy, she sneaked into Byron's rooms and scratched two words on his desk : Remember me. The upper class, cut glass laugh at a Fleur Cowles dinner party. The thud of a falling man. Outside the Albany, a London that belongs entirely to the present. A city dominated by the rich and poor immigrant, from the oligarch to the asylum seeker and the refugee. But in here another city, another country. The last of England - all be it an England most of us never knew. Where the outsider is omitted along with the definite article. Albion. Arcady. Albany. An England that will one day be, like the London we natives once knew, like 'Greeneland' itself, 'a region of the mind'.

Further Listening:
5. Night Flowers Face Things Head On
It's been a pretty special year for London indie-pop quintet Night Flowers. Their debut album, Wild Notion, drew near universal acclaim, they've toured up and down the country (and up and down and up and down again probably) and played a series of stellar festivals. Tonight the band play what might just be their biggest headline show in London to date at Moth Club, and ahead of the show they've shared the video to their excellent new single, Head On.
Head On was one of Wild Notion's stand-out moments; a brooding and intense number, propelled by swaggering bass and swirling synths. Singer, Sophia Pettit's vocal is pretty much faultless throughout, wringing every drop of emotion from the tale of communication break-down, isolation and fighting to make things work, before the intense burst of brass brings things to a thrilling close. The cinematic video, which to our mind looks like Singing In The Rain filmed in the style of House Of Cards, mirrors the song's themes, as Sophie and Greg walk the London streets, searching for a connection that so nearly comes to pass. A triumphant sign off to a year where Night Flowers have moved up a gear, and sit poised and ready for a giant leap forward.
Wild Notion is out now via Dirty Bingo Records. Click HERE for more information on Night Flowers.
4. The Ophelias Are Anything But Sweet
Hailing from Cincinnati in the heart of the mid-west, The Ophelias are a collision of musical backgrounds, incorporating everything from garage-rock to opera. What brought them together was a desire to not be the token girl in, "dude-bands". The resultant album, Almost, is a celebration of not being sidelined, of embracing the limelight and revelling in a freedom from censorship.
Ahead of dates with WHY? and the brilliant Lala Lala, The Ophelia's have this week shared a brand new video to one of their album's finest moments, Moon Like Sour Candy. The track is one of the more laid back offerings on the record; muted guitar strums give-way to pulsing synth bass, rich violins and twinkling electronics, all added to the melancholy vocal delivery. There's a touch of the bedroom pop of Frankie Cosmos or early Waxahatchee. Proof, were it needed, that you don't need to make a racket to have a huge impact, Moon Like Sour Candy is an understated triumph.
Almost is out now via Joyful Noise. Click HERE for more information on The Ophelias.
3. Hen Ogledd Are Feeling The Weight Of The Sky
We live in a cold modern world, dominated by logic and bereft of both belief and any dreams of magic. A statement which is quite clearly nonsense; the tiny fragments of knowledge we have of the way the universe works means in some ways we're as reliant on some sort of faith as we ever were. That's the idea that Hen Ogledd, a colaboration between four members from, "different tribal regions of the Old North", look to explore on their upcoming debut album, Mogic (it's like magic and logic, get it?)
This week the band have offered their new track, Sky Burial, a study on both death and cloud based technology. Questioning what death really means when our data-bodies can remain lodged in the cloud, long after our physical manifestation has slipped off this mortal coil. That might sound like quite a concept to get your head around, yet Hen Ogledd have made a musical offering that's a lot easier to digest. In the same way that their ideas fuse the old and the new, so does their music, traditional instrumentation from harp to electric guitar, is cut through with swirling synth textures, creating textural layers of sound, atop which Sally Pilkington's perfect, hazy vocal sits proudly, guiding you through the sonic fog, and offering moments of perfect clarity. With Mogic's release to look forward to next month, and live dates either side of the New Year, Hen Ogledd's intriguing musical vision is coming into view, and it looks like it's going to beautiful.
Mogic is out November 16th via Weird World. Click HERE for more information on Hen Ogledd.
2. Kiran Leonard's Life Lacks Lustre
For an artist who's released so much, it's easy to forget Kiran Leonard is just 22 year's old. The Saddleworth-born musician already has an enviable back catalogue, with two home recorded albums and 2017's ambitious literate concept album, Dervaun Seraun. Kiran's latest album, Western Culture out next month, is also his first to be recorded in a professional studio, and is a record Kiran describes as, "both more accessible and more peculiar than my other records", which Kiran Leonard fans will know makes for something really quite peculiar!
Ahead of the release, this week Kiran has shared the video to the latest single from the record, Unreflective Life, notable not least for what Kiran describes as, "a nice Bon Jovi solo at the end". Lyrically as ambitious as always, Kiran suggests the track is what he sees as a total misunderstanding of how we use the internet, "the internet is not about total self-absorption, or attracting users to look in our direction," says Kiran, "it is a complete paralysis, a disarticulation of the self which is caused by the act of looking outwards and being subsumed by the vastness of the violence we witness". Musically, there's a focus and a drive here, perhaps the result of recording with his live band for the first time. As always the track ebbs and flows, clattering from visceral crescendos to lush, intense periods of calm, and that guitar solo really is quite something! Kiran Leonard remains one of the most intriguing artists this planet has to offer, as challenging, rewarding and boundary pushing as ever, the constant re-invention of Kiran Leonard is a wonderful thing to behold.
Western Culture is out November 9th via Moshi Moshi Records. Click HERE for more information on Kiran Leonard.
1. Hairband Take Flight
Featuring members of Breakfast Muff, Spinning Coin, Lush Purr and Kaputt, it should perhaps come as no surprise that Glasgow quintet, Hairband are really rather brilliant. The band are set to release their debut EP next month and have this week shared the latest offering from it, Flying.
Flying is an ode to the power of gravity, about the world's ability to pull us back to the ground even as it spins and sometimes leaves us utterly bewildered by what's going on around us: "Everytime I leave the ground, I wonder will it be my last time, so I say goodbye to the feeling of my feet with the earth beneath and take to the sky. Thank you gravity for all you've done for me, but don't let me go". There's an innocence and a poetry to the words, a moment where clarity of thought allows the noise of the world to fade out. Equally, the music seems to exist as a complex spiral of sound; rich layers of vocal harmony with a touch of The Wharves, are paired with intricate swaggering guitar lines and understated rhythms, before the whole thing fades to a moment of lucid vocal isolation. Hairband are five songwriters, each bringing ideas to the table and making them work as something rooted in music's history but equally carving its own niche, a thrilling ode to friendship and the creativity that can come with it.
Hairband's debut EP is out October 19th via Monorail Music. Click HERE for more information on Hairband.

Regulations and exemptions
Is the introduction of a mandatory toll tag related to any legal authority?
Yes. Act of 18th June 1965 no. 4 on road traffic sections 13, 31 and 31a and the Regulation on the requirement for use of electronic payment units in motor vehicles above 3.5 tonnes.
Who does the order apply to?
The toll tag is mandatory for vehicles exceeding 3.5 tonnes registered or leased by a company, state, municipalities, county municipalities and vehicles registered to private individuals and used for business activities. The tag is not mandatory for campervans and other vehicles registered to individuals and that are only used for social, domestic and private purposes.
What is meant by business activities?
Business means activities suited to providing a net income.
Where does the order apply?
On the whole of the Norwegian public road network. It is of no significance whether there are any toll collection points where the vehicle is being used.
What is meant by the toll tag must be linked to the vehicle?
It is the contract for the toll tag that links the tag number and the vehicle's registration number. If you move the toll tag to another vehicle the contract must be amended. A charge is made at inspections if the toll tag number is linked to another registration number. The registration number can be changed in MinSide at your toll road operator.
Does the limit of 3,500 kg apply to the vehicle's net vehicle weight or permissible maximum weight?
It applies to permissible maximum weight. Vehicles exceeding 3,500 kg permissible maximum weight as shown in the vehicle registration certificate must enter into a toll tag contract for a heavy vehicle and pay toll rates for a heavy vehicle.
What type of private cars must have a toll tag?
Only cars registered to private individuals and that are used for business purposes. Business means activities suited to providing a net income. As an example, transport in connection with ones business as a farmer, on behalf of an employer or suited to obtaining payment. If you are in doubt, get an electronic toll payment toll tag. You only pay a deposit of NOK 200 which is repaid if you sell the vehicle. The order does not apply to motorhomes, SUVs and other private vehicles that are solely used for social, domestic and private purposes.
If I am uncertain about wether the private vehicle is used for business purposes, what should I do?
If you are unsure, we recommend that you obtain an electronic toll payment tag to avoid any uncertainty during an inspection. This applies whether you complete a vehicle log book or not.
What types of vehicles have been granted an exemption and do not require a toll tag?
The order does not apply to tractors or motorised equipment. Similarly the order does not apply to vehicles connected to NATO military headquarters, foreign NATO forces and forces participating in Partnership for Peace, nor does the order apply to vehicles adapted for military purposes that are owned by the Norwegian Armed Forces. Vehicles must pay road tolls even if the toll tag is not mandatory.
Do motorhomes have to have a toll tag?
Motorhomes registered to an individual and used solely for social, domestic and private purposes do not need a toll tag, but motorhomes that are in addition used for business purposes must have a toll tag. Motorhomes that are rented or leased and used solely for social, domestic and private purposes must have a toll tag because the company renting or leasing the vehicle is using the motorhome for business purposes.

McCord School, an Osage County school located just east of Ponca City, will prohibit use of all tobacco products on school property and at all school activities – whether on campus or not – as of the start of the 2014-15 school year.
The McCord School Board voted unanimously for the policy, which will include electronic cigarettes and vaping devices, during its meeting on July 10. "I thought it was a great move and I think we will hit the ground running beginning with Enrollment Night," said Karen Weihle, a McCord counselor.
McCord previously adhered to the state's minimal law of prohibiting tobacco use on school property only from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., which meant adults could use tobacco products during afterschool events.
But now, with the new policy, all students, staff and visitors will be protected from secondhand smoke on campus 24 hours a day, seven days a week -- even when private residents rent school facilities for community events or private functions like family reunions in the beautiful blue and gold cafeteria.
McCord Principal Boyd Braden reported that some of his cafeteria workers have already utilized the 1-800-QuitNow helpline with success. Osage children attending the school as well as rural families of Ponca City all can now Breathe Easy with the new 24/7 tobacco-free policy.
Prior to their vote, school board members discussed how this policy would impact their students, staff, and parents of schoolchildren.
Board Clerk Charles "Chuck" Blake mulled over the terms "campus" and "24/7 tobacco-free school" as provided by Electa Hare-RedCorn, the Osage Communities of Excellence program coordinator. Board President Joy Neil asked how the proposed tobacco policy would be enforced. Board members ultimately decided on an enforcement chain of command they said would meet the needs of the rural school.
Board member Jeff Clark said the policy's language should include all school field trips, so parents and sponsors will understand that we all have a role to play in modeling healthy behaviors. He suggested keeping a portable laminated copy of the policy, so that it can be present at all school events, such as ball games, concerts and parent-teacher nights.
Adoption of a 24/7 tobacco-free school policy is one qualification toward earning Certified Healthy School status from the Oklahoma State Department of Health. Certification would allow McCord to apply for a Certified Healthy Schools Incentive Grant from the Tobacco Settlement Endowment Trust (TSET), which the school could use for health- or wellness-related projects. The Osage Communities of Excellence office helps schools within the county apply to become Certified Healthy and for Certified Healthy Schools Incentive Grants.
If you or anyone you know would like to join in promoting Breathe Easy environments where we live, work and play, please contact the Osage Nation Communities of Excellence at 918-287-5267 and ask for Electa Hare-RedCorn, Community Liaison, or Nataska Rouse, Project Specialist.
