BENGALURU: Shailesh Tulshan, the personal investment adviser to the Flipkart's Bansals, is starting a fund named after Paypal co-founder Peter Thiel's book that prods entrepreneurs to focus on radical innovations than on incremental improvements.
021 Capital (Zero to One) will have a corpus of about $50 million and invest up to $2 million each in startups across sectors, including biotechnology, agriculture and internet, according to two people familiar with the developments.
The venture capital fund is expected to get on board institutional investors as well as technology entrepreneurs, including Flip kart's group chief executive Binny Bansal, already a backer of other funds including pi Ventures, Blume Ventures and India Quotient.
021 Capital is in talks with both domestic and overseas investors and has secured soft commitments for about 40% of its corpus, these people said.
"The fund is currently in talks with several entrepreneurs and family offices and expects to make a first close in 3-6 months," one of them said, adding that 021 Capital has filed with market regulator Sebi for approval. Tulshan, a former wealth manager with Client Associates and HDFC Bank, advises Sachin Bansal, Flipkart's executive chairman, and Binny Bansal on their personal investments through his multi-family office Tsai Shen Capital, named after the Chinese god of wealth.
Tulshan and Binny Bansal did not reply to calls and messages seeking details on the new fund.
Those who know Tulshan say he has modelled his firm on Iconiq Capital, a California-based multi-family office set up by former Mor gan Stanley and Goldman Sachs banker Divesh Makan in 2011. Iconiq manages money for Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter and Square founder Jack Dorsey. Among Tulshan's recent investments are artificial intelligence-based medical technology startup Sigtuple, breast cancer screening startup Niramai Health Analytix, and Pandorum Technologies, which has found a way to 3Dprint experimental-stage human liver tissues.
Another recent investment was in Bengaluru-based dairy internet-ofthings company Stellapps. Tulshan's venture fund comes at a time when several prominent entrepreneurs have launched or backed new venture funds, such as Infosys cofounder Nandan Nilekani's Fundamentum Advisors and Ratan Tata's RNT Capital. This spurt in entrepreneurs backing venture capital funds has helped a new set of VCs mobilise capital from domestic investors to back startups, which have largely relied on overseas capital.
Investments into venture capital funds grew the fastest in 2016 as compared with that into categories such as social, infrastructure and small and medium enterprises, Sebi data show.
Commitments raised by venture capital firms increased by 272% to Rs 14,240 crore in the year to June.

Trump Chooses the Alt-Right Over the R.N.C.
By Ryan Lizza
Donald Trump meets last month with his National Hispanic Advisory Council.PHOTOGRAPH BY GERALD HERBERT / AP
On August 20th, the Republican National Committee sent out a press release announcing that Donald Trump would be meeting with a recently formed "National Hispanic Advisory Council for Trump." The Republican Presidential nominee has fared so poorly in the Hispanic community that G.O.P. ads targeting Hispanic voters use the tagline "Sí, yo estoy con Trump" (Yes, I'm with Trump), an apparent nod to the shock of Hispanics revealing their preference for a candidate who has described Mexican immigrants as "rapists"; banned Univision, the largest Spanish-language television network, from covering his events; and claimed that a federal judge of Mexican descent could not fairly preside over a fraud case against him.
The meeting with the council took place at Trump Tower, around a giant boardroom table that looked like it could have been part of the "Apprentice" set. It was one of the Trump campaign's first photo ops under its new manager, Kellyanne Conway, and C.E.O., Stephen Bannon, who come from different and often opposing wings of the conservative movement. Conway, a longtime Republican pollster who previously worked for Ted Cruz's campaign, has been trying to improve Trump's image among more moderate Republicans, especially suburban women. Until August, Bannon was the chairman of Breitbart News, which under his tenure turned into a propaganda arm for Trump and a forum for the neo-white-nationalist movement that has rebranded itself as the "alt-right."
At the Hispanic Advisory Council meeting, Ramiro Peña, a Texas pastor and one of Trump's new associates, led the group in prayer. "Bless this building, bless this meeting and our time together, in the strong name of Jesus," he said, video of the meeting shows, as Trump and the others bowed their heads. "Amen."
Soon after the meeting, Buzzfeed and Univision, quoting participants, reported that Trump had told the group that he was open to rethinking his hard-line positions on immigration, especially his promise to forcibly deport the estimated eleven million undocumented immigrants residing in the United States. "Trump now says he plans to legalize some undocumented immigrants," Univision said.
Over the following ten days, Trump and his advisers mused publicly about "softening" his approach to undocumented immigrants and seemed to consider backing some version of a path to legalization. According to various reports, officials at the R.N.C. had painted a dire picture of Trump's electoral prospects, and senior campaign advisers, including Chris Christie, had pressed Trump to moderate some of his most infamous positions.
The debate within the Trump campaign and the broader Republican Party was serious enough that, last week, Trump postponed a planned speech on immigration. When he finally spoke in Phoenix, last night, the speech became the greatest test of a theory that has taken hold among many elected officials who support Trump, even though they disagree with him on numerous issues: that Trump is malleable, that his policies can be shaped by establishment leaders, and that they can stamp out the white-identity politics that have given the Trump campaign its ballast.
Trump listened to and was pressured by many voices and groups hostile to—or at least skeptical of—his views on immigration: Conway, Christie, the R.N.C., his Hispanic advisers, the business community. And yet he still chose Bannon over Conway, the alt-right over the R.N.C., and ended up where he started, with a policy whose heart is deporting eleven million people, which would be one of the largest resettlements of human beings in modern history. He promised to "create a new special deportation task force" to remove undocumented citizens, insisted that "anyone who has entered the United States illegally is subject to deportation," and, for new immigrants, vowed to create "new screening tests for all applicants that include an ideological certification." Rather than one issue among many, Trump made mass deportation the central premise of his candidacy, declaring that "all energies of the federal government and the legislative process must now be focussed on immigration security."
It was a clarifying moment for all who have endeavored to understand Trump. In case it wasn't obvious before, he means what he says. He was not just cynically catering to the nativist right during the primaries. If that were the case, by now he would have come up with a plan that integrated some mainstream Republican thinking on immigration and perhaps lifted his political fortunes. Instead, his speech was cheered by the likes of Ann Coulter and David Duke.
As for the members of his much-hyped National Hispanic Advisory Council, many are reportedly planning to resign. In an e-mail obtained by Katie Glueck, of Politico, Peña, the Texas pastor who led the Trump meeting in prayer, condemned the candidate. "I am so sorry but I believe Mr. Trump lost the election tonight," he wrote. "The 'National Hispanic Advisory Council' seems to be simply for optics and I do not have the time or energy for a scam."

La battaglia di Valverde, o battaglia di Valverde Ford, fu combattuta il 20-21 febbraio 1862 nei pressi di Valverde al guado del Valverde Creek nel territorio Confederato dell'Arizona, in quello che oggi è il Nuovo Messico. Fu un'importante vittoria dei Confederati nella campagna del Nuovo Messico della guerra di secessione americana. Si scontrarono la cavalleria Confederata del Texas e molte compagnie di milizie dell'Arizona contro l'esercito regolare ed i volontari Unionisti del Nuovo Messico settentrionale e del Colorado.

Panoramica
Il generale di brigata Confederato Henry Hopkins Sibley aveva previsto di invadere il Nuovo Messico con il proprio esercito, sconfiggere l'Unione, conquistare la capitale Santa Fe e marciare verso ovest per conquistare la California unendola ai territori confederati. Il primo passo per Sibley era il reclutamento di un esercito a El Paso e la marcia verso nord lungo il Rio Grande con l'obiettivo di conquistare Fort Craig e le provviste al suo interno sconfiggendo il colonnello federale Edward Canby. Il 3 gennaio 1862 Sibley partì da El Paso con tre reggimenti ed una parte di un reggimento di texani a cavallo per un totale di 2510 ufficiali e soldati. Fort Craig, 225 km a nord di El Paso, era il principale ostacolo sul suo cammino. Canby lo attese qui con 3800 uomini, soprattutto fanti. Solo 1200 degli uomini di Canby erano veterani di qualche battaglia, il resto era composto da 2000 volontari del Nuovo Messico, 100 del Colorado e 500 milizie. Kit Carson comandò il 1º reggimento di colontari del Nuovo Messico.

Forze dell'Unione
Lo schieramento delle forze dell'Unione era il seguente:
Dipartimento del Nuovo Messico - colonnello Edward Canby
Cavalleria regolare
1º cavalleria (2 compagnie) - capitano Richard Lord
3º cavalleria (5 compagnie) - maggiore Thomas Duncan
Fanteria regolare
5º fanteria (5 compagnie) - capitano Benjamin Wingate
7º fanteria (3 compagnie) e 10º fanteria (3 compagnie) - capitano Peter Plympton
Artiglieria
Batteria di McRae - capitano Alexander McRae
Volontari del Colorado
Compagnia di Dodd, 2º fanteria del Colorado - capitano Theodore Dodd
Volontari del Nuovo Messico
1º fanteria del Nuovo Messico - colonnello Kit Carson
2º fanteria del Nuovo Messico - colonnello Miguel Pino
3º fanteria del Nuovo Messico - colonnello José Gallegos
4º fanteria del Nuovo Messico - Col. Gabriel René Paul
5º fanteria del Nuovo Messico - colonnello Benjamin Stone Roberts
Compagnia di cavalleria indipendente di Graydon - capitano James Graydon
Milizia del Nuovo Messico
1° milizia del Nuovo Messico - colonnello M. Armio
2° milizia del Nuovo Messico - colonnello N. Pino

Forze dei Confederati
Armata del Nuovo Messico - generale di brigata Henry Hopkins Sibley
2º battaglione fucilieri a cavallo del Texas - maggiore Charles Lynn Pyron
4º reggimento fucilieri a cavallo del Texas - tenente colonnello William Read Scurry
5º reggimento fucilieri a cavallo del Texas - colonnello Thomas Green
7º reggimento fucilieri a cavallo del Texas - tenente colonnello John Sutton
Battaglione di artiglieria - capitano Trevanion Teel

Contesto storico
Sibley guidò la propria brigata a meno di 35 km da Fort Craig la sera del 13 febbraio. Giudicando il forte troppo difficile da assaltare, Sibley spiegò la sua brigata in linea per i successivi tre giorni sperando di convincere i federali ad aprire, ma Canby, non avendo fiducia nelle sue truppe volontarie, si rifiutò di attaccare.

Quando le razioni iniziarono a scarseggiare, i Confederati non poterono continuare ad aspettare e organizzarono un consiglio di guerra per il 18, con Sibley che ordinò all'esercito di attraversare il Rio Grande e risalirne la riva orientale fino al guado di Valverde, 10 km a nord di Fort Craig, sperando di tagliare le comunicazioni tra la fortezza ed il quartier generale di Santa Fe.

Battaglia
Il mattino dopo, il 21 febbraio, Sibley mandò un'avanguardia formata da quattro compagnie del 2º fucilieri del Texas col maggiore Charles Pyron a fare una ricognizione al guado Valverde, con il 4º fucilieri del tenente colonnello William Read Scurry al seguito. Il resto della brigata rimase al campo, intenzionato a seguirli poco dopo.

Le guide dell'Unione informarono Canby dei movimenti Confederati verso nord. Canby inviò un gruppo misto di fanteria, cavalleria e artiglieria al guado col colonnello Benjamin Stone Roberts del 5º fanteria del Nuovo Messico. Fanteria ed artiglieria rallentarono la colonna, così Roberts mandò avanti il maggiore Thomas Duncan con la cavalleria per difendere il guado. Dopo la partenza di Roberts, Canby mandò altri rinforzi dalla guarnigione della fortezza, e incaricò numerose compagnie di volontari del Nuovo Messico di "controllare i movimenti del nemico, minacciarne i fianchi e la retroguardia, ed impedirne i movimenti il più possibile".

Quando i Confederati di Pyron giunsero sulla riva orientale del guado di Valverde trovarono le forze dell'Unione già schierate a bloccare il passaggio. Pyron chiese rinforzi al 4º fucilieri mentre i suoi uomini si nascondevano in un vecchio letto asciutto, che divenne un'ottima posizione difensiva. Inizialmente, nonostante lo svantaggio numerico, la cavalleria dell'Unione si schierò in linea invece di cercare di cacciare i Confederati dalla loro posizione. Questo obbligò l'artiglieria nordista a restare sulla riva occidentale del Rio Grande.

Quando Scurry giunse schierò il proprio reggimento alla destra di Pyron, con l'artiglieria Confederata a sinistra. Nonostante avessero raggiunto la superiorità numerica, i Confederati erano armati con armi a corto raggio, per cui non erano in grado di raggiungere le postazioni nordiste distanti 300 metri. Anche gli obici Confederati erano troppo lontani. Nel frattempo Canby ordinò a buona parte della guarnigione rimasta a Fort Craig di marciare verso Valverde, lasciando solo poche milizie a difendere la fortezza. Quando arrivò, Canby spostò molti uomini, compresa l'artiglieria, sulla riva orientale lasciando il 1° volontari del Nuovo Messico di Carson ed il 2° del colonnello Miguel Piño sulla riva occidentale in riserva.

Nel primo pomeriggio il resto dei Confederati, il 5º fucilieri di Thomas Green ed un battaglione del 7º fucilieri di John Sutton, giunse sul campo di battaglia, a corto di acqua e senza accesso al fiume a causa dei nordisti. Sibley, che il mattino era rimasto con la carovana, rinunciò al comando della brigata che fu assunto da Green, che lasciò il comando del 5º fucilieri al maggiore Samuel Lockridge. Attorno alle 14:00 Green autorizzò una compagnia di lancieri a tentare una carica a quella che credevano essere un'inesperta compagnia del Nuovo Messico sul fianco destro unionista. I soldati nordisti si rivelarono però una compagnia del Colorado in grado di sconfiggere la carica senza problemi. Venti lancieri furono uccisi o feriti, e quasi tutti i cavalli resi inabili o uccisi. Quando tornarono alla linea Confederata, la compagnia di lancieri si riarmò con pistole e proseguì la battaglia. Fu la prima e ultima carica di lancieri della guerra di secessione americana.

Alle 16:00 l'Unione sembrava in vantaggio in battaglia. Canby decise che un attacco frontale avrebbe fallito, e scelse di attaccare sulla sinistra. Per farlo ordinò ad una delle sue batterie a destra di avvicinarsi ai Confederati e spostò molte compagnie a destra, compreso il 1º reggimento di Carson che attraversò il fiume e si dispose in linea. Il trasferimento delle truppe indebolì il centro della linea dell'Unione e la batteria sulla sinistra di Canby. Sperando di bloccare l'attacco dell'Unione, Green ordinò al maggiore Henry Raguet di attaccare la destra dell'Unione col proprio battaglione. L'attacco fu respinto dal fuoco frontale del 1° del Nuovo Messico, e la destra dell'Unione avanzo seguendo la ritirata Confederata.

Fu allora che Green ordinò ai Confederati a destra di Scurry di caricare il centro dell'Unione e la batteria a sinistra. L'attacco fu portato da 750 uomini in tre ondate successive. Più che il basso morale dei Confederati, fu il loro disperato bisogno di acqua a spingerli. La sorpresa della carica Confederata mise in rotta metà della batteria di sostegno. Lockridge fu ferito mortalmente durante questo attacco. I Federali contrattaccarono con la cavalleria, ma i Confederati continuarono l'attacco al fianco sinistro di Canby, conquistando sei pezzi d'artiglieria e mettendo in rotta i nordisti, sia regolari che volontari. Sibley stava per ordinare un nuovo attacco quando Canby issò bandiera bianca chiedendo il cessate il fuoco per recuperare i corpi di morti e feriti, richiesta accettata da Sibley. Canby riuscì a riorganizzarsi, con meno di 200 disertori tra i volontari del Nuovo Messico, ed ordinò una ritirata a Fort Craig lasciando aperta ai Confederati la strada diretta a nord verso Santa Fe.

Conseguenze
Lasciati in possesso del campo di battaglia,
i Confederati avevano vinto lo scontro riportando però dure perdite: 36 morti, 150 feriti e 1 disperso sui 2590 uomini iniziali. A causa della resistenza delle mura del forte, Sibley scelse di abbandonare l'idea di conquistare la fortezza proseguendo invece verso nord diretto ad Albuquerque e Santa Fe, dove sperava di conquistare i rifornimenti necessari. Fu rallentato dalle perdite di cavalli e muli in battaglia, per cui fu obbligato ad appiedare il 4º fucilieri del Texas ed a distruggere alcuni carri e rifornimenti.

Canby affermò di aver subito 3 ufficiali e 65 soldati morti, 3 ufficiali e 157 soldati feriti, 1 ufficiale e 35 uomini dispersi per un totale di 264 persone. Ebbe altri dispersi e disertori, soprattutto disertori, per un totale del 16% degli uomini, circa 432 sui 2800 totali. Considerandosi in inferiorità numerica scelse di non inseguire Sibley, mandando invece distaccamenti di volontari del Nuovo Messico a punzecchiare la retroguardia Confederata per rallentarli. Rimase con il grosso dell'esercito a Fort Craig per bloccare ai Confederati le linee di rifornimento e per intercettare i rinforzi di Sibley, sperando di bloccare il grosso dell'esercito Confederato tra sé e Fort Union.

Né Sibley né Canby ricevettero premi per quanto fatto in battaglia. Sibley fu messo fuori uso da alcool e malattie e passò la maggior parte dei giorni in ambulanza. Il colonnello Green fu il comandante de facto e fu il suo assalto al centro dei Canby a riportare la vittoria. Canby criticò i volontari del Nuovo Messico, soprattutto ispanici, per la sconfitta, ma fu la sua scelta di rinforzare la destra indebolendo centro e sinistra a causare la sconfitta dell'Unione.  Sull'ala destra di Canby, il reggimento di Kit Carson partecipò limitatamente alla battaglia ma si comportò bene. I volontari stavano avanzando e stavano vincendo la battaglia. Furono increduli quando Canby ordinò la ritirata.

La battaglia rappresentò il punto più basso della carriera militare di Canby ed il più alto di Sibley. La loro reputazione fu opposta dopo lo scontro. Dopo la battaglia si disse che i due comandanti Canby e Sibley, che erano stati alleati e si erano addestrati insieme, potessero essere cognati. Future ricerche portarono alla luce poche prove che lo potessero dimostrare.

Any ideas on what the problem is and how to fix it? Can this be resynched the way the windows or sunroof can?
All the fuses are fine.
The fuses are fine. The seat does move fore/aft when the memory button is pressed. The fore/aft switch does not make the seat move, however, it does still have the ability to make the seat tilt and adjust the height.
The motor is definitely working. The issue is likely either the control module with a loose wire; the door switch; or something totally different.
Perhaps there is a way to resync the seat control similar to the way the windows or sunroof can be resynched?
Al, perhaps a visual check to confirm that all wires, plugs and sockets are correctly in place would be a good idea. Then check the continuity of the door switch with a multi-meter. I will try to find out the colour coding of the switch wires and post back into this thread later.
I will try to find out the colour coding of the switch wires and post back into this thread later.
Apologies for the delay in getting those wire colour codes, my WIS programme has decided to go AWOL. Hopefully it will be re-installed later.
OK, here is the seat wiring diagram for your vehicle, if you need a close up of any particular area just let me know.
Thanks for getting back to me. I conducted a visual check of the wiring, it appears to be fine. The connectors are all fine.
I have never used a multi meter (but can figure it out w/instructions), so could you explain how and exactly what I am supposed to hook one up to on the door control.
Have you ever heard of just one function of the seat controller not working? The fore/aft control lever also adjusts the seat height, which works. All the other seat/headrest/wheel functions work fine.
Just one other question, looking at my Alldata information on your model, it shows two seat adjustment switches, one on the door and the other on the side of the seat itself.
Does the fore and aft motor not work on both switches?
The only seat adjustment switches are on the door panel.
OK, then looking at the circuit diagram, M1 of the M20 seat motor group, I would suspect a fault in the driver seat module itself N32/1. If the memory function will operate the the fore and aft motor (M1) then the motor would appear to be OK.
You could try swapping over the modules for elimination purposes.

Plans for OSHA According to Solis and Barab
At the recent American Society of Safety Engineers' (ASSE) annual conference in San Antonio, attendees were treated to speeches delivered from both U.S. Labor Secretary Hilda Solis and Acting Assistant Secretary of Labor for OSHA, Jordan Barab.
The resounding message being that Department of Labor (DOL) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) enforcement efforts are now, and will continue to be, a high priority.
Fred Hosier, editor for Safety NewsAlert, quoted Solis as saying, "We're here to help companies provide safe workplaces, but we'll also crack down on those who don't," in his article titled "Secretary Solis: We're back in the enforcement business."
Let this be yet another reminder that employers must do more to ensure OSHA compliance, especially those with previous and repeat violations. And, OSHA is not wasting time acting on its claim to be tougher on enforcement.
In fact, Dave Johnson, editor for Industrial Safety & Hygiene News (ISHN), provided insight into the new OSHA agenda as described by Barab, in his article titled "Full Speed Ahead."
Here are a few excerpts:
"OSHA will not wait any longer to deal with construction fatalities. SWAT teams of inspectors will sweep over Texas in the coming weeks as part of a new initiative aimed specifically at the Texas construction industry.
National Emphasis Programs are in the works for enforcement action in the chemical industry and closer review of injury and illness recordkeeping for evidence of under-reporting.
OSHA's look into the recordkeeping accuracy of a select number of companies will also include reviewing medical records and safety program policies that might affect injury and illness reporting. 'I know safety bingo and incentive contests are a very big business, along with the behavioral philosophies that back up many of these programs' said Barab. 'But we are going to take a very close look at incentive programs that award prizes for fewest recorded injuries. That make workers reluctant to report.' In general, said Barab, 'we believe the focus should be on engineering out the hazards, on physical conditions, not worker behaviors."

CANBERRA, 20 SEPTEMBER 2018 (THE AUSTRALIAN) – Australia is working on plans with Papua New Guinea to develop a joint naval base on Manus Island, edging out Chinese interest in the strategically vital port with a new facility that would be capable of hosting Australian and US warships.
The Australian understands Malcolm Turnbull and PNG Prime Minister Peter O'Neill discussed the proposed defence partnership at a July 11 meeting in Brisbane ahead of this year's third State of Origin match.
O'Neill was said to be "very interested" in working with Australia to redevelop the Lombrum Naval Base as a joint facility, prompting a scoping mission by Australian defence officials.
The PNG Prime Minister, who was briefed on the results of the scoping study, later wrote to Turnbull to formally express his support for the project.
The Turnbull government had hoped to finalise arrangements for the investment before the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation meeting, to be hosted by PNG from November 12-18, which will be preceded by a special summit for Pacific leaders in Port Moresby hosted by China's President Xi Jinping.
Australian officials have expressed concerns over Chinese interest in the redevelopment of four PNG ports, at Wewak, Kikori, Vanimo and Manus Island, fearing the Asian superpower is working towards gaining a military foothold in the region.
The deepwater port at Manus is considered the most strategically significant of the four because of its sweeping command of the Pacific Ocean and the maritime approaches from Asia.
O'Neill and Solomon Islands Prime Minister Rick Houenipwela, who also attended the State of Origin match, signed a deal with Mr Turnbull on the same trip for Australia to fund a $136 million (US$98 million) internet cable between the three countries, preventing Chinese company Huawei from building the infrastructure.
Plans for the joint facility were under way as Australia moved to block Chinese involvement in another regional military development — the upgrade of Fiji's Black Rock military camp in Nadi. Turnbull led the negotiations with Fiji Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama to ensure Australia became the sole foreign donor in the redevelopment of the base, which will be used as a regional training hub for South Pacific defence forces.
Foreign Affairs Minister Marise Payne declined to comment on the proposed joint facility but said Australia was in frequent contact with PNG officials regarding their development priorities.
"Australia supports the PNG government's ambitions for greater economic growth and development, including on Manus Island," she said.
The Lombrum Naval Base has long been the site of close co-operation between Australia and the PNG Defence Force. Australia operated the base from 1950 until it was handed back to PNG at independence in 1975.
Australia financed the construction of the current Lombrum wharf, and its refurbishment in the 1990s.
More recently, the base was the site of Australia's Manus Regional Processing Centre, which closed in October last year.
Australian Strategic Policy Institute director Michael Shoebridge, a former Defence Department official, said using Manus as a base for PNG, Australian and US forces "makes good sense … It would help give the US a wider operating and support footprint in the Pacific, and give Australian naval forces a location 2000km away from Darwin and some 1600km north of Cairns — the two closest Royal Australian Navy bases".
He said the PNG Defence Force, which will receive three new Guardian-class patrol boats from Australia, would be a major beneficiary, gaining new facilities and a closer working relationship with Australian and US navies.
If the investment were ready to announce by the APEC summit, it would "send a very welcome message about the deeper intent behind Australia's commitment", Shoebridge said.
To ensure the economics of the facility, Australia would need to have naval ships using the facility "almost continually", he said, while a US presence would add to its economic feasibility.
The Lowy Institute's Pacific Islands program director, Jonathan Pryke, said despite China's growing influence in the region, Pacific leaders preferred to work with Australia than China.
O'Neill, who enjoys close relations with China's President, agreed on a recent trip to Beijing to allow Xi to host a summit for Pacific Island leaders ahead of the APEC leaders' meeting.
For Xi, the trip to Port Moresby will be an official "guest of government" visit, with full red-carpet treatment.
Scott Morrison, who was criticised by regional leaders for failing to attend this month's Pacific Island Forum, will seek to counter the Chinese charm offensive by hosting an APEC barbecue for Pacific Island counterparts at the Australian high commissioner's Port Moresby residence.
In last year's foreign affairs white paper, the government committed to "stepping up" its engagement in the Pacific, as China tries to win over regional leaders with foreign aid and soft loans for infrastructure projects under its Belt and Road Initiative.
There has been a surge in Chinese investment in PNG ahead of the APEC summit, with major roads projects funded by China's Eximbank and awarded to Chinese firms China Railway and China Harbour.
Senator Payne signed a security declaration with regional leaders at the Pacific Island Forum that asserts the right of every member country "to conduct its national affairs free of external interference and coercion".
During the forum, she suggested that China, when it made contributions to Pacific nations, "should perhaps look at the benchmarks that we adopt … around strengthening security, strengthening stability, and strengthening prosperity".
"Countries will make their own sovereign decisions about arrangements they enter into … but the benchmark that Australia places on this is one of engagement and partnership," she said.
The PIF security declaration identified climate change as the biggest threat to the region.
Days later, Morrison said Australia would remain a signatory to the Paris climate change agreement because the issue was "incredibly important" to Pacific nations. "In the Pacific, this issue dominates their thinking and agenda … the Pacific is one of the most strategic areas of influence in our world today," he said.

Ryan Reynolds Reveals "Phase 5" of Deadpool Leak Anniversary
Who leaked the Deadpool test footage that helped get the movie made? Today is the five-year LeakAversary of that rogue cinematic act, and Ryan Reynolds is still on the case. Reynolds posted an image on Instagram featuring various real-life celebrities associated with him and characters from the franchise. There's yarn connecting them to a specific mystery: Who leaked Deadpool test footage on July 28, 2014 — an event which led to Fox greenlighting the blockbuster R-rated series. "Investigation heading into year 5," Reynolds wrote in the caption. "Or as I call it, 'Phase 5.' The point is, I love conspiracy-yarn. #LeakAversary"
Investigation heading into year 5. Or as I call it, 'Phase 5.' The point is, I love conspiracy-yarn. #LeakAversary
A post shared by Ryan Reynolds (@vancityreynolds) on Jul 28, 2019 at 9:26am PDT
Of course, there's also the fact that Reynolds' post mentions "Phase 5", which some have speculated could hint at when Deadpool makes his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut. The Merc With a Mouth was missing from Marvel's Phase 4 announcement earlier this month (along with all of the X-Men and Fantastic Four), but some have suggested that an announcement might come in time.
Reynolds first played Deadpool in 2009's X-Men Origins: Wolverine, which was critically panned upon its release. In 2016, he again played the Merc With a Mouth, though that movie had no explicit connection to his first appearance. Directed by Tim Miller, Deadpool met with critical and financial success at the box office, becoming one of the highest-grossing R-rated films ever.
What do you think of Reynolds' post? Do you hope that Deadpool is a part of Marvel's Phase 5? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below!

DOOM VFR Review
By Daniel Weissenberger on December 8, 2017 in Reviews
I Am The Weapon
HIGH Watching a Mancubus' spine flop around after leveling it with a particle beam.
LOW Trying to navigate levels with the Move controllers.
WTF Just ten original DOOM levels? Can you please sell me the rest?
As Bethesda proved just weeks ago with Skyrim, first-person games work better in VR. DOOM's Martian base looked incredible last year, with its mood lighting and claustrophobic blood-spattered corridors. It was a perfect environment to glide through, tearing demons limb from limb. Had I been asked, I couldn't have offered an opinion on how to make it better. Then DOOM VFR allowed me to step inside that world, and after being just a few feet away from an obese monstrosity as my particle cannon tore it in half, I realized that I'd never actually played DOOM at all.
Taking place at the same time as DOOM, VFR puts players in the role of a scientist who gets killed by a demon, only to find his consciousness plugged into a combat chassis.This new second life gives him a chance to get some payback and help stop the demon invasion. The storyline is fairly simple – after the scientist has cleared out the command center, he's presented with the clear goal of shutting down the demon gate. Don't expect much beyond that — the game isn't interested in narrative details.
The scientist's work is accomplished by teleporting to various parts of the base (and eventually Hell, naturally) and flipping a switch or grabbing an item, and then 'porting back to get the next assignment. The player will visit a set of familiar locations from DOOM, where the demons from the original game are now far bigger and more terrifying than when they were safely contained in a flat-screen television or computer monitor.
The stresses of rendering the game at 60FPS on two screens has taken a toll on the visuals, and scaled down the developers' ambitions somewhat. Gone are the incredible lighting and particle effects, and most of the campaign is spent running through modest, relatively contained areas. These technical limitations don't cause the developers to skimp on the enemies, though – each level features at least one locked-in arena battle where they're swarmed with demons and have to fight for their life. They even manage to tweak the visuals enough to offer some truly expansive vistas in the final levels – the chains that hang in DOOM VFR's hell may have noticeably fewer polygons and there aren't as many fonts spewing lava and blood, but the scale of the demonic palace is truly staggering. I found myself forced to pause for a moment after I'd finished slaughtering the area's denizens to simply marvel at dire beauty of the location.
DOOM's playability is determined almost exclusively by which controller scheme the player is using. If they use the DS4 or Aim controller, it's a perfect VR recreation of the main game. Players can zoom around the levels with a thumbstick, looking and shooting where they want, weakening enemies with gunfire before teleporting into them to reduce them to bloody gibs – it's a move that replaces the 'Glory Kills' of the previous entry. Obviously the experience is better with the Aim controller since immersion is helped immeasurably by actually aiming and firing weapons, but both setups function perfectly well.
The Move controls, on the other hand, are a complete disaster. When designing the game, the developers found themselves in a bind. DOOM is all about quick action, requiring players to dodge enemy projectiles and dart quickly from side to side, taking on multiple enemies in quick succession. A teleport-based control scheme wasn't going to cut it – it would be far too jarring to have to jump around the map after every shot or two. So, the developers assigned movement controls to the face buttons, letting the player slide forward, back, left and right. Unfortunately, this is where the trouble starts because there are only so many buttons on the Move controller, and allowing players to dodge strips away their ability to turn.
Insanely, players using the Move controllers can't turn left or right. They have the ability to do a 180 turn, but that's it. If the world had been built on a strict grid pattern like Wolfenstein 3D, this wouldn't be a problem, but that's just not the case. The Martian Base and hell are complex, multilevel structures, absolutely requiring the player to turn left and right to fully explore their depths and defend themselves. This control scheme was obviously not designed with the PSVR in mind. For all its strengths, the PSVR requires players to face forward for its tracking to work. Turning even sixty degrees to the left or right can cause serious problems, and DOOM requires them to do more than that all the time. Frankly, it's nearly unplayable with the Move controllers.
Even with that one huge flaw, DOOM VFR is still an incredible experience. It perfectly captures the raw, brutal thrills of DOOM, and enhances them beyond what I'd imagined was possible. Actually blasting an Imp with a shotgun from five feet away is the kind of experience I've wanted a videogame to offer for more than twenty years, and DOOM VFR's depiction is even better than my dreams. Even with its small number of levels, visual downgrade and the lack of a chainsaw, this is the purest DOOM experience I've ever had, and I can't wait to see what Bethesda has in store next. Rating: 8 out of 10
Disclosures: This game is developed and published by Bethesda. It is currently available on PSVR. This copy of the game was obtained via publisher and reviewed on the PSVR. Approximately 3 hours of play were devoted to the single-player mode, and the game was completed. There are no multiplayer modes.
Parents: According to the ESRB, this game is rated M and contains Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, and Strong Language. It's a DOOM game. There's swearing and ultra-violence. Seriously, some of the biggest fun in this game comes from using huge cannons to punch giant bloody holes in demons. Of course kids shouldn't be playing it.
Deaf & Hard of Hearing Gamers: I played a few levels with the sound off, and while I had more trouble keeping track of where demons were, there were no significant barriers to gameplay. You may want to stick to lower difficulty levels, as surprise attacks by enemies can hit pretty hard. All directives are offered as text, and all dialogue is subtitled.
Remappable Controls: No, the game's controls are not remappable.
Colorblind Modes: There are no colorblind modes available in the options.

Want to know which amethyst facts are worth remembering? We've got you covered. Amethyst is a variety of quartz (SiO2) that gets its violet hue from the presence of iron and other trace elements. Its regal coloring makes amethyst minerals the most prized gemstone in the quartz family. Other quartz varieties include Citrine, Rose Quartz, and Praisioilte.
Mined: Brazil, Uruguay, Sri Lanka, Siberia, Canada, India, Bolivia, Argentina, and some African countries.
Care: Store out of direct sunlight. Clean your Amethyst with warm, soapy water and a soft bristle brush. Keep away from strong chemicals and avoid sudden temperature changes.
Metaphysical Properties: Amethyst is a calming stone and has long been thought to help overcome addiction and protect against drunkenness. Wearing Amethyst is said to heighten chastity, sobriety, and the ability to control one's thoughts.
Healers have coveted this stone for its capabilities, evoking energies of stability, peace, calm, balance, courage and inner strength. It has been used as an alternative source for aiding hearing disorders, insomnia, headaches and problems with the heart or lungs. Amethyst has been used to help align the chakras throughout the body.
History: Documented use of amethyst in jewelry dates back as early as the Ancient Egyptians. Egyptian warriors were said to wear amethyst during a battle to remain calm.
Amethyst, a symbol of celibacy, is also known as the "Bishop's stone" and was incorporated in church jewelry in the Middle Ages and beyond.
The crystal has also been used in Royal jewelry throughout history, primarily because of its color. Purple was a color of luxury, and the violet dye for clothing was expensive, so it was reserved for the wealthy; the matching amethyst crest jewelry followed suit.
The American National Association of Jewelers added Amethyst as the birthstone of February in 1912. It has also been attributed to the Zodiac sign, Pisces.
Folklore: The term amethyst comes from the Greek "amethystos" meaning "not drunk." It is believed that the term originated in Greek mythology. As the story does, Dionysus, the god of intoxication and wine, was pursuing a maiden named Amethystos.
The maiden adamantly refused his affections. In response to these unwanted advances, Amethystos prayed to the gods to remain chaste. The goddess Artemis answered and transformed her into a white stone.
Humbled by Amethystos's desire to stay chaste, Dionysus poured wine over the stone as an offering, dyeing the crystals purple. Thus the mineral amethyst was born.

Francke brothers call for release of Frank Gable
by: Jim Redden | Portland Tribune
Posted: Apr 19, 2019 / 03:07 PM PDT / Updated: Apr 19, 2019 / 03:07 PM PDT
PORTLAND, Ore. (PORTLAND TRIBUNE) — The brothers of murdered director of the Oregon Correction Department are calling on the Oregon Department of Justice to release his convicted murderer.
Kevin and Patrick Francke released a family statement the day after Oregon U.S. Magistrate Judge John Acosta ruled Frank Gable's conviction for the 1989 murder of Micheal Francke was legally flawed. Acosta ruled Gable must be released within 90 days or retried for the killing — a daunting challenge because many of the witnesses against him have recanted their trial testimony or died.
Gable was convicted of stabbing the corrections director to death after being caught breaking into his car outside the department headquarters. Gable has consistently denied the killing and no physical evidence ties him to the scene. Kevin and Patrick have long charged that Michael was killed by corrupt department employees that feared the then-director was beginning to investigate.
"Our client has spent nearly 30 years incarcerated for a crime he did not commit. Always maintaining his innocence, he has waited a long time for the day he would be exonerated. He put his faith in our team. While those lost years cannot be restored, Judge Acosta's ruling finally has brought Mr. Gable the justice he has hoped for," the Federal Public Defenders office said Friday.
The Oregon Department of Justice must now decide whether to appeal or comply with the ruling. It is unclear whether Gable could be released during an appeal.
The Portland Tribune is a KOIN 6 News media partner.
Here is the Francke brothers' statement, which was released by Patrick:
My first reaction was relief, and then a flood of emotion washed over me. The events of January 17, 1989 have never been far from our thoughts on a daily basis. That is hard for people to understand. We have never been convinced that Frank Gable was guilty of the crime, never. In observing the trial and the events inside and especially outside the courtroom, we were even more convinced that the State wanted this case over, and quickly, no matter how they achieved that end. Machiavelli would be proud.
A careful reading of Federal Public Defender Ms. Nell Brown's brief will make it clear to even a person with no knowledge and little interest in the case that the State manipulated the process to convict Frank Gable. I'm not a great believer in conspiracy theories, but I do believe there was a small cadre, perhaps only two or three in total, who guided the process out of fear of what might be unearthed in the digging.
We became increasingly anxious as the months passed into years after the final arguments before Magistrate Acosta were made in November of 2016. Thankfully it is almost over. It is now abundantly clear that Frank Gable had nothing to do with the murder. The diligence of the Federal Public Defender legal team of Ms. Nell Brown and Mr. Mark Ahlemeyer and their group of investigators should be honored. Her brief was, in the words of a long-time lawyer friend, one of the best he has ever read. Textbook and precedent setting according to another lawyer friend. Bravo!
Thankfully the waiting is over, and Frank Gable is a happy fellow for the first time since 1991. Where were you in 1991?
No matter just now. Time has eroded the case; principals, investigators, and witnesses are dead, vanished, or retired, evidence is in disarray, and the murder remains unsolved; but not in our minds. This announcement will be just a ripple on the stream.
We are happy in the extreme that the very real probability that Frank Gable will be released and his freedom is within sight. The State can no longer afford to manufacture a case built on lies and half-truths, and we trust that they will abandon this fruitless endeavor and concede that they convicted an innocent man. They made a mistake. The sooner they do this, the better, and justice will be served! Most of all, we are happy for Frank and his family and friends.
The State's response in the coming days will determine the course; in the meantime, we celebrate years of determination by a few to see that justice was served. God bless our Republic; God bless the USA.

Un théorème de Carnot de géométrie euclidienne, dû à Lazare Nicolas Marguerite Carnot, porte sur une condition pour que des points situés sur les côtés d'un triangle soient situés sur une même conique.

Énoncé
On se donne dans un triangle  six points :  sur le côté ,  sur le côté  et  sur le côté  .

Ces six points sont situés sur une même conique si et seulement si on a la relation suivante  :

.

On peut voir ce théorème comme une généralisation au degré 2 du théorème de Ménélaüs portant sur l'alignement de trois points situés sur les côtés d'un triangle.

Exemple d'application
Les droites joignant les sommets d'un triangle à deux points donnés coupent les côtés opposés en six points qui sont sur une même conique .

On applique le théorème de Ceva aux trois céviennes passant par le premier point, ainsi qu'aux trois céviennes passant par le deuxième, et le produit des deux relations de Ceva donne la relation de Carnot.

En confondant les deux points, on obtient que les pieds de trois céviennes concourantes sont les points de contact d'une conique inscrite.

Généralisation
Le théorème précédent se généralise à une courbe algébrique sécante à un polygone fermé plan, ainsi qu'à l'espace.

Énoncé dans le cas du triangle
Théorème de Carnot pour une courbe de degré  .

Étant donnée une courbe algébrique quelconque de degré  coupant un triangle  :

soit  (resp.  et ) le produit des  distances, réelles ou imaginaires, de  (resp.  et ) aux  points d'intersection de la courbe avec le côté  (resp.  et ),

et soient de même ,  et  les produits semblables associés aux côtés ,  et . Alors

Control your fermentation temperature accurately every time!
Temperature control is one of the most crucial elements for producing a good quality beer. It needs to be regulated and stable throughout the whole fermentation process to ensure the yeast doesn't get stressed and ferments correctly to get the right flavor profile.
With the ability to individually power and control the temperature of up to four Grainfather Conical Fermenters, each with their own fermenting schedules, the Grainfather Glycol Chiller is the perfect addition to ensure craft brewery-like results.
With the addition of the Glycol Chiller, your system is operating at the ultimate level and you are even able to cold crash and lager. The cooling sleeve is located in between the two stainless steel walls of the Conical Fermenter which is then hooked up to the Glycol Chiller. Temperature is dialed into the digital temperature controller and the liquid travels through this sleeve, cooling the stainless steel which in turn cools the beer in the fermenter. The cooling sleeve never comes into contact with the beer, is completely concealed and does not need cleaning or sanitizing - a true innovation for a fermenter on this scale.
NOTE: For information on how you can use the Grainfather Glycol Chiller with Conical Fermenters manufactured by other companies click here.


Elizabeth Corbett's New Amazonia: A Foretaste of the Future (1889) imagines what the late-Victorian world would look like if it were run by women. Inspired by the Women's Penny Paper, a pro-suffrage journal devoted to showcasing women's writing and interests, Corbett used utopian fiction to explore an alternative to the patriarchal values of Victorian England. The women of New Amazonia live in a future Ireland where their freedom from restrictive clothing and other limitations imposed on women has turned them into seven-foot-tall athletic goddesses. The highest posts in the all-female government are reserved for a cadre of celibate women and reproduction is controlled through Malthusian measures and eugenics. Corbett sees a combination of science and common sense as being the key to the health and prosperity of the New Amazonians. In this study I will explore the appeal of scientific progress to late Victorian feminists, and the role of science in shaping hopes for an improved society. I will argue that rather than being a utopian dream, Corbett's vision for an alternative Ireland was grounded in her experiences as a wage-earner and suffrage campaigner, and in her involvement in the alternative women's subculture built up around the Women's Penny Paper.

The child-centred principles of early years education - which emphasize play and holistic learning - are being challenged by the implementation of a subject-based National Curriculum. The contributors to this book explore this challenge and offer some ways of meeting it practically and productively. Issues covered include: pedagogical issues, such as the cross-curricular, topic-based teaching; teacher's attitudes to subject knowledge; assessment issues, including baseline assessment at the age of five; and parental attitudes to the National Curriculum and its content at Key Stage 1.
Since the First Edition was published, there have been considerable social and political changes: increased demand for day care for babies and children under three; and increased early admission to infant school; desirable outcomes for fourr-olds supporting The National Curriculum for fiveto seven year-olds; and baseline assessment at five years. Victoria Hurst sets out how practitioners can structure and organize their thinking about early education and the curriculum, so that they can support and extend children's learning and development. She also shows how practitioners can judge the effectiveness of their educational provision and learn more about the education of young children.
With increasing expectations from parents and practitioners for inclusive early years settings, many practitioners are anxious about identifying and accommodating children's individual needs as early as possible. Through simple step-by-step instruction, this book will: o increase practitioners' confidence in identifying individual needs; o give practical advice on involving parents; o provide clear links to existing guidance and legislation. This is a valuable guide for practitioners in all early years settings including Day Nurseries, Pre-schools, Children's Centres, Nursery Schools and infant schools.

This is a book that looks at how drama has its basis in good early years practice. Most early years practitioners are doing some drama and are edging towards more structured work - this text will help them go further by building their own skills. Using tried and tested example dramas based on traditional stories, the authors show how clearly dramas are constructed. They move from the simple use if TiR (Teacher in Role) to more complex, full dramas, using traditional stories including Little Bo Peep, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Humpty Dumpty, The Pied Piper, The Billy Goats Gruff and Hansel and Gretel. Drama in the early years covers a number of key areas where drama is of particular importance for this age group including: * drama in the National Curriculum * how drama can help your teaching of the Literacy Hour * personal and social education and citizenship * drama and special needs * assessment * recording and progression * developing a school policy for drama.
'There's a growing awareness that for the good of their health, children need to be out and about more, with their friends, exploring the outdoor world in their own way.' - Nicola Butler, Director of the Free Play Network It is widely acknowledged that children today do not get outdoors often enough and there are serious concerns about children's activity levels and rising associated behavioural, mental and health problems. With such structured and technology-driven lives, it is easy for young children to stay indoors, play on computers and not socialise with other children in a healthy and active way. This book not only supports 'playing out' as an integral part of children's natural growth and development, but also provides early years workers with a full programme of outdoor physical activities to promote physical, social and behavioural skills. This book is a guidebook to setting up an outdoor physical activity programme in any early years setting. The book focuses on how getting outdoors and taking part in physical activities will provide children with positive fun experiences to enhance their general learning and development. The programme can be adapted to suit any timescale - from a whole term to one or two days. Key features include showing practitioners: how to make the most of their outdoor area for all children step by step explanations to the outdoor activities how to engage participants (including parents) how to set up and plan activities ideas for group and individual assessment how to carry out risk assessments how an outdoors programme can change children's lives for the better.

Stoker Twists Form – But Slowly!

The Korean director Park Chan-wook has made at least one film – Oldboy, allegedly being remade by Spike Lee – that is generally considered to be a classic. I don't know if Park's first film in English, Stoker, will ever approach that film's critical acclaim, but I have no doubt if it had been shot in Korean, it might well have been (sometimes, subtitles really do make a difference to an audience's perceptions).

Lyceum of the Philippines University College of Law
***All Schools*** Law School In The Philippines
Muralla St. Intramuros, Manila, Philippines
465 Muralla Street Manila Metro Manila 1002 PH
https://manila.lpu.edu.ph/beta/
To be a world class university dedicated to innovation and excellence in service to God and Country.
History of LPU
Lyceum of the Philippines University prides itself with its long and rich tradition of Academic excellence through the legacy of its founder, Dr. Jose P. Laurel. The only Philippine President to have served in all three branches of the Government, Dr. Laurel was a successful lawyer, legislator, constitutionalist, jurist, writer, scholar, statesman, philosopher, and above all things, an educator.
Dr. Laurel's concern for education was his most abiding passion. A graduate of top educational institutions such as University of the Philippines College of Law, Escuela de Derecho, University of Santo Tomas and Yale University, his credentials as an educator were unassailable. He wrote extensively on education and managed to teach in several educational institutions in Manila, despite his numerous commitments.
During the Second World War, as the leader of the nation during its darkest period in its history, he introduced educational policies that emphasized and upheld national morale and character.
The inspiration to establish a school came to him in the early 1920's while a student at Yale. Three decades later, along with some of his close friends, he turned this dream into a reality. With the aim of becoming a center of academic excellence in the Philippines and the Far East, Lyceum of the Philippines University (as it is now known) formally opened its doors to the public on July 7, 1952.
With his admiration for knowledge and his appreciation of classical thought, Dr. Laurel named the school Lyceum of the Philippines after Lykeios, the site in ancient Athens where the great Philosopher Aristotle nurtured the minds of his protegees. The school's motto, "Veritas et Fortitudo", "Pro Deo et Patria", reflects Dr. Laurel's belief in the value of learning and character formation for God and country.
Unfortunately, Dr. Laurel unexpectedly died in 1959.
On his third son Sotero, who was then in the practice of law, fell the mantle of responsibility of running the school. He was the natural choice as, in years earlier, it was Senator Sotero who helped his father organize LPU and acted as the first executive secretary to his father.
For the next forty-three years, it was this chosen son, Sotero, who nurtured the school and made it grow beyond Manila into the provinces.
In 1966, he founded the Lyceum of the Philippines University-Batangas followed by Lyceum of the Philippines-Laguna in 2000. Both campuses are now headed by Senator Laurel's fourth son Dr. Peter P. Laurel.

2169 - DOWN DIRTY DOGS - A TRIBUTE TO VINTAGE TROUBLE - (CD)
2170 - DOWN HARRISON - DOWN HARRISON - (CD)
In 2013, twelve years had passed since Tommy Cassemar (bass) & Pelle Alsing (drums) recorded the debut album This Year The Summer Will Be Long by Jesper Willaume (singer & songwriter). That album got stuck from being released by various circumstances.Tommy and Pelle had developed a long grown urge to have a band together, and remembering the recording sessions all those years ago, they got in touch with Jesper to see if he was still making music. It turned out that he had been outside the music scene by choice, making a career in restaurants. But it was also revealed to them that Jesper never quit writing songs, having around 150 pieces that no one ever got to listen to.After some time of puzzling & twisting with this pile of full songs or fragments, the three of them decided that it had to be recorded and not to be unheard of or forgotten. A dear friend of Tommy & Pelle, Micke Wedberg (guitar, keyboard) was involved in the project. Micke, a devoted musician, technician and owner of Pre/Post Studios, brought the tools for the band to start recording their work.The band Down Harrison saw the light of day.The name was inspired by the feeling Jesper got the first time he walked down Harrison Avenue in the small town of Leadville, Colorado, when living there for a couple of years in the late 80's.As a constant guest & a great friend to the band Ola Gustafsson (guitars, pedal steel), adds the last pieces of the puzzle with his exquisite fingers.

2171 - DOWN HARRISON - POSSESSED - (CD)
Less than a year after the release of the self titled debut album, Down Harrison returns with their second album, Possessed.Possessed is the result of a creative explosion triggered by the recording of the first album. The recordings initially started with the intention to work on the material of prime songwriter Jesper Willaume, but soon it grew into a true band effort. And once the Down Harrison train got rolling, there was no way stopping it. Seasoned musicians Jesper Willaume, Micke Wedberg, Tommy Cassemar and Pelle Alsing (of Roxette fame) enjoyed working together so much that they just kept on going. Scandinavia is kind of a hotbed for Americana music. Plenty of great acts, but very few in the same musical neighborhood as Down Harrison. The mix of Americana, heartland rock and pop is kind of unique for Down Harrison The powerful rhythm section, the heavy guitars, the irresistible pop melodies and the country rock flavor, whatever that is. Lets just agree that it sounds really good and thats the only thing that matters really.
TRACKLISTING: 01. Possessed 02. Too Slow To Live This Fast 03. Fire In The Trees 04. Brake & Turn 05. Monkey See Monkey Do 06. Day One 07. 2 Days Of Nights 08. A Coat 09. Chain
2172 - DOWN RIVER - SEETHIN' HEAVEN - (CD)
Damn, Down River is doing it again. Delivering an excellent mix between old school heavy metal, doom, southern rock and hardrock. With equal parts COC, Clutch, Maiden, Priest, this is an abolute killer record. Ultra heavy riffs, excellent twin guitar solos, brutal vocals and a heavy pounding production. Put your meat on the barbie, scream along with Fear The Eagle, 6 Shooter blues or Hand Over Fist and drink lots of beer! Hell Yeah!!!
2173 - DOWN THE LEES - BURY THE SUN - (LP)
WAGONMANIAC
Recorded and mixed in one cold January week by Steve Albini atElectrical Audio in Chicago. This is a raw album, stripped down to showcase the live, emotional vibe of the powertrio.

Guitarist/vocalist LauraLee makes her guitar sing soft melodies with harsh contrasts while belting out the most impassioned vocals.Drummer Jonathan mixes math-rock and prog-rock beats with speed, energy and emotion, alongside Kwintenspowerful and guttural bass riffs inspired by his hardcore roots.Down the Lees has followed an eclectic musical path with engaging and dynamic soundscapes inspired by genres such as post-rock, shoegaze, hardcore, slowcore, and no-wave - often echoing the work of artists such as Slint, PJ Harvey, Sonic Youth, Cloud Nothings and Low.

2183 - DOWNLINERS SECT - DANGEROUS GROUND - (LP)
STEADY BOY
The Downliners Sect were the raw, ragged, rocking real deal, blasting out of England in 1964 on an early British wave that took their contemporaries the Rolling Stones, the Yardbirds, the Kinks, and the Pretty Things to rock and roll heights and history. But unlike their friends, the Sect stayed true to their rhythm and blues roots and the grungy glory of the two and a half minute record. Cool tracks like "Baby Whats Wrong" and "Little Egypt" gave them stardom in Sweden, Denmark, and Norway and an enduring cult status everywhere else.Half a century later, theyre still true to those roots. The Sect survives, and SteadyBoy is thrilled to bring this album of tracks that only saw limited release in the nineties. Blues rock gets no more authentic, no more psychedelic, no more unrepentant than the Downliners Sect.

"Arca" is a visionary instrumental space-rock trip from the collective DOWNLOUDERS. A concept as a fantastic soundtrack between epic and melancholic atmospheres. From the magical psychedelic sound of the seventies (the first Pink Floyd over all) and the cosmic kraut-rock to the dreamlike side of post-rock (Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Mogwai as references). DOWNLOUDERS is an open space-orchestra with strong use of synths, lysergic guitars, drums, deep bass, electric piano, trumpet, percussions and alien voices. Just close your eyes to get carried away on a wonderful journey into the cosmos !!!

"The Downspiral To Hell translates to a real need to make music, to reveal the feelings born inside us and show a personal way of thinking about life.

Madness, insanity, anger ...this is how The Downspiral To Hell explore!Their new album, Unusual Methods To Dismember The Spiritual Halo, looks into new sounds and new layers of music landscapes. As the band really love all kinds of music, their sound reflects a long journey through the dark side that reveals a complex and strange mix from playing death and black metal, close to grind/death metal sometimes, with lots of experimentation and bizarre keypads. The Downspiral To Hell love to try out different things, and include new sounds and new challenges within their trademark sound.Unusual Methods To Dismember The Spiritual Halo is released with a new graphic concept concerning the band. The artwork means whatever the lyrics and the sound want to display. Get ready to twist your mind!!"

2190 - DOWNTOWN STRUTS, THE - HOPE YOU'RE DOPE - (12")
PIRATES PRESS
The beast has transformed. Victoria! took DOWNTOWN STRUTS all over the world, and this inward reflection clearly shows that Dan Cooper and the gang have come back with a new outlook on things-one that is likely to appeal to a whole new crowd, on top of the leagues of fans across the world who have already fallen in love with the struts. Tinges of this new direction were scattered through their recent split with NOTHINGTON (Asian Man Records, 2013), but this recording session definitely explores new musical avenues and influences, yielding something leagues apart from their last full-length Victoria (2012). Much like you can follow the (musical) progression of hugely successful bands like WEEZER, BUILT TO SPILL, or GREEN DAY, this album allows you to gain a deeper understanding of a band that may not have left such a multi-dimensional impression with their first few releases. This band certainly has grown and evolved, and the men have as well. The spectacular songwriting that DOWNTOWN STRUTS has consistently pumped out will never stop, and its refreshing to see that unlike so many bands, theyre building upon it, not rehashing it; and not just giving fans a familiar, calculated new release to get bored with quickly. Its exciting to know these guys are still in their early 20s, and have so much more to offer as well. Its a fair assessment that lots of DOWNTOWN STRUTS fans will absolutely love this right out of the package; and it will have to grow on others. Staying true to the passion that DOWNTOWN STRUTS have for life, friendship, and making top-quality tunes, this EP really shows how diverse one band can be, and how their message and angst can manifest itself many ways!

In Focus: Keith Millen
Get know MK Dons' new Assistant Manager...
mkdons.com
mkdonsfc
After being appointed Assistant Manager, mkdons.com takes a closer look at the playing and coaching career of Keith Millen.
Keith Millen was born in Croydon, London and in the formative years of his career spent time at both Southampton and Crystal Palace as an apprentice.
Millen would then play professionally with Brentford in 1983, where he'd stay for 11 years. During his time with the Bees, Millen played 305 times for the London outfit and scored 17 goals.
With Millen a mainstay in the side, Brentford reached the final of the Football League Trophy during the 1984-85 season - unfortunately, they were defeated 3-1 by Wigan Athletic.
It was with Brentford where the defender enjoyed his first taste of silverware during the 1991-1992 season when Brentford pipped Birmingham City to the Third Division title.
In March 1994, he moved to Watford and during his first season with the club, helped them escape relegation from the First Division.
Although Watford were unable to fend off relegation in 1996, Millen played a key role in helping the Hornets achieve promotion from the Second Division as Champions in 1998.
The 51-year-old enjoyed yet more success with the Hertfordshire club the following year as Watford were promoted via the playoffs defeating Bolton 2-0 in the final.
In the same year, Millen would leave Vicarage Road for Bristol City, as captain of the Robins he was suffered yet more cup final heartbreak losing to Stoke 2-1 in the 2000 Auto Windscreens Shield final.
Millen would eventually retire from football in 2003 having chalked up over 500 appearances during his playing days.
Having retired at Bristol City, Millen became the Under-17s manager at Ashton Gate and in 2004 was named Assistant Manager to Brian Tinnion. After Tinnion departed the Club, Millen was named caretaker manager for the first time.
He would later adopt the same role in 2010 following the sacking of Gary Johnson and was named manager on a full-time basis in August that year. He left his position in October 2011.
Millen would then move to the North West to take on the position of Head of Coaching and Development at Blackpool in July 2012.
It was with the Seasiders where he met Ian Holloway who, after making the move to manage Crystal Palace, appointed Millen as his Assistant Manager in November 2012. After Holloway left the Eagles by mutual consent, Millen was named as caretaker manager.
He would become caretaker manager of the club two more times during his spell at Selhurst Park, and to date, has taken charge of nine Premier League games. When not in caretaker charge, Millen was Assistant Manager to Tony Pulis, Neil Warnock and Alan Pardew.
Since leaving Palace in January 2017, Millen has been working with Tottenham Hotspur and Sky Bet League One side Portsmouth.
Having been involved in the professional game since 1983, Millen brings a wealth of experience that will prove valuable alongside Dan Micciche.
