Musicians Break Out In Impromptu Performance During A 2-Hour Flight Delay
If you've ever had a flight delayed, then you know that it's the worst, especially when your eager to get home after a long vacation. Next time you get grounded, maybe there will be some musicians to entertain you. That's what happened at the Newcastle airport when this group of musicians played some music to cheer up the crowd during a 2-hour flight delay, and it actually worked!
These 3 musicians give an amazing impromptu performance, to cheer up the crowd during a 2-hour flight delay.
Daoirí Farrell, Geoff Kinsella, and Robbie Walsh are musicians from Ireland. Back in 2017, the trio traveled to England to play a music festival, but on the way back go stuck with the dreaded flight delay,a whole 2-hours!
The delay made the tension in the air thick, the musicians could sense the negative energy and didn't like it. Just like that, they decided they were going to do something about it. So they started to play, Kinsella was on the banjo, Farrell on the bouzouki, and Walsh on the bodhran.

The mood started to change, and the people quickly positively reacted to the music.
Who doesn't love music? The people in the Newcastle airport clearly did, flight delay or not, people's frowns turned to smiles as the music started streaming out.
The trio decided to play the popular Irish song "The Galway Girl," mainly because they thought it would help to pick a song that everyone knew. The transformative music prompted strangers to clap and cheer, so the musicians carried on.
With the catchy tunes flowing, no one was thinking about the 2-hour flight delay!
Now instead of pouting about the flight delay, people were up out of their seats, tapping their feet, dancing and even singing along. The way it's changed, you wouldn't even think it's the same crowd of people!
Luckily, Farrell's father is an amateur photographer, he knew this was a special moment and started filming. Good thing he did, because the video went viral making it even that much better.
The impromptu musicians went viral with the video, with almost 10 million views!
The light-hearted video went viral in no time, it now has almost 10 million views and over 5,200 comments! People absolutely loved the random jam session.
"I always like to come back this video when it pops up in my recommendation. Such a good feel from a situation that would other wise be quite dull." Said, one viewer.
"A bit more laughing and yelling and they might as well start serving drinks. What an awesome experience. Glad to have a bit of Irish blood in my veins." Said another viewer.
These 3 musicians turned a bad situation, into a fun-filled music festival within a matter of seconds. I can only hope I'll get this lucky during my next flight delay, but the chances aren't likely! To see this awesome music transform these strangers, watch the video below!

Q: Sorting seems to be slower with 2 threads instead of 1 I'm beginning with threads in Python, and trying to implement a merge sort where, at the beginning, the job gets splitted into 2 threads. I'm using collections.deque, itertools.islice, threading.Thread.
I create two threads at the beginning, they do each half the job normally, then I join them and merge the result. But I noticed that it takes way longer (almost 2 twice as long) with two threads than it does when I do it normally.
How can this be possible ? Here is a link to the code, I can reproduce the main parts here if needed (I posted that question on Code Review SE too, and I'd rather keep this one short)
Is it linked to this question (seems to be a similar problem in C++) ? Thank you very much.

A:
How can this be possible?

Unlike C++, Python is quite difficult to parallelize because of the GIL.
While collections.deque's append and popleft are thread-safe, this does not guarantee that they'll perform well in a non-serial paradigm.

Is it linked to this question?

No. The GIL is a property of CPython. It is totally disjoint from false sharing.

It takes way longer (almost 2 twice as long) with two threads than it does when I do it normally.

This is because the GIL doesn't support shared memory multithreading. As such, you're essentially running your code serially twice.

Angmering village sculpture winner revealed
The winning design for Angmering's new bespoke village sculpture has been revealed, alongside the date for installation.
By Elaine Hammond
Wednesday, 5th May 2021, 3:30 pm
Updated Wednesday, 5th May 2021, 4:06 pm
Public artist Tim Ward has been working with year-nine students at The Angmering School and engineers from Littlehampton firm SI Protech in the development of the sculpture.
Villagers were able to have their say by voting on their favourites from the 20 designs created by the students.
National youth arts charity Artswork, which is running the project as part of the cultural programme Arun Inspires, revealed the winners to be Lily, Ruby and Safiya, and said the sculpture based on their Sunflower Dog & Rainbow Seat design will be installed outside Angmering Community Centre in September.
The winning team, from left, Lily, Ruby and Safiya
Louise Govier, Artswork chief executive, said: "It has been a joy for all of us at Artswork to see the commitment, creativity and ingenuity that has gone into every single concept.
"There is a lot the rest of the world could learn from Angmering, empowering its young people in public spaces to create art limited only by imagination – this kind of work just brings out the best in all of us and I hope young people and adults alike are proud.
"We can't wait to see the other activities and projects planned in the Arun Inspires programme come into being, benefiting children and young people along with the wider community of Arun."
The girls' design will inspire Tim's finished sculpture. He had encouraged the students to explore the context and history of the site, the qualities they most appreciate in their village and consider the theme of 'ring' as they worked on their creations.
The Angmering School students working on their sculptures in class
The winners said their concept was based on a creative seat that would bring the community together, surrounded by plants and sensory elements for young children and people with additional needs. The large rainbow and sunflower symbolise hope and a sculpted dog means no one who sits there will feel lonely.
More 175 votes were received and the final decision was made by a panel of judges, including parish councillors Alison Reigate and Alan Evans, and representatives from Arun District Council, Pallant House, S I Protech and the school.
Alison said: "It has been such a pleasure to be involved throughout this project and I must say that the work from the children has been outstanding, showing a great deal of thought and imagination in response to the initial remit they were given through to designing 3D models of their concept.
"This proved to make the final judging an extremely difficult task that took endless debate to reach a final outcome. Well done to all participants for the standard of work delivered."
Sunflower Dog and Rainbow Seat, the winning design
Over the next four months, Tim will develop final drawings, which will be shared in the village in the early summer. The final sculpture will be fabricated using local firms wherever possible and opened on Saturday, September 25, as part of the community event Angmering Revealed.

Central Maine Medical Center Maternity once again earns "High Performing Hospital" accolade from U.S. News and World Report
U.S. News & World Report says CMMC "excels on multiple metrics"
Central Maine Medical Center (CMMC) has once again been recognized as High Performing in Maternity Care by U.S. News & World Report. The publication began listing "Best Hospitals for Maternity" last year. CMMC is one of only two hospitals in Maine to garner the distinction this year.
To achieve a High Performing rating, a hospital had to score significantly higher than average on a combination of eight quality measures. CMMC achieved high ranks on a number of fronts, including breast milk feeding for new infants. Also, according to U.S. News & World Report, "This hospital met criteria to be recognized as Birthing-Friendly because it participated in a quality improvement collaborative and implemented patient safety practices in order to improve maternal outcomes."
The U.S. News & World Report ranking comes at a time that CMMC's maternity department has welcomed and fully integrated new team members from St. Mary's Hospital in Lewiston which recently closed its maternity ward this summer.
"I am happy to have joined Central Maine's women's health team and to continue to serve the women of this community," said Maureen Perdue, DO, who was part of the St. Mary's team that joined CMMC. "All providers, nurses and staff, provide excellent, compassionate care during a very important and vulnerable time for women through pregnancy and childbirth. We are committed to continued excellence and plan more growth within our department to build on the need for resources for women our community and the greater central Maine area."
"Getting this recognition from a major U.S. publication like U.S. News & World Report is gratifying, but not surprising," said Steve Littleson, DBA, FACHE, president and CEO, Central Maine Healthcare. "It is a validation of what people in central Maine already know: CMMC is a great place to have a baby, and that is backed up by U.S. News and World Report's findings.

Reading a book is not an easy task for me. Reason: As an editor I read all day long and therefore bedtime reading is mostly for getting a good sleep… in five minutes (average speed: 1-2 pages)!
Last week I finished reading Blink: the power of thinking without thinking, the bestselling book written by Malcolm Gladwell.
Well, the book is very well written without doubt. The way he has described human psyche is not only very true but wonderfully explained.
It is an easy read. Its matter-of-fact tone helps an average reader like me to easily understand some aspects of human psychology and how it works.
The examples cited in the book are very basic and are explained interestingly, so it is easy to understand and remember them when they are cited later in the book.
There is one major argument that flows through the book – thin slicing – and each minor argument connects to the major argument, making it more realistic, grounded, and digestible.
Although I took almost three months to read the book, I liked it when I finished reading it. For a fast reader, I am sure it is a good book. For a slow reader like me, it is a good book if read in less than two months!

Intimate Christmas with the Vancouver Island Symphony
Intimate Christmas
Guest Choir: musica intima
Saturday, December 15, 7:30 p.m.
Welcome! Come on in where it's warm, cozy and comfortable! It's a Christmas party – an Intimate Christmas party with the Vancouver Island Symphony! The halls of the Port Theatre will be decked out for the season on Saturday, December 15 as the VI Symphony presents their traditional family Christmas concert featuring joyous seasonal music, a cheerful sing-along - and surprises! Adding to the celebration are the young and exciting voices of Western Canada's award-winning choral gem – musica intima.
Pure and beautiful - musica intima
Founded in 1992, musica intima has graced the stages of Canada's best known festivals and concert halls. Their concerts and recordings are frequently heard on national and international radio broadcasts. "I originally heard musica intima in concert on CBC Radio while I was studying in Montreal," says alto Melanie Adams, the East Coast member of this professional twelve-voice ensemble. "Their sound really struck me as being so pure and beautiful, blended. I thought as I listened; I could be happy singing with that group like that." It was several years later and a series of coincidences that led Melanie to the West Coast in 2000 and a successful audition for the ensemble. "It was how they work, in consensus, that fascinated me, without a conductor. Every piece has a musical leader. We stand in a semi-circle and the audience becomes the 13th member."
Music to get comfortable with
Like being curled up in front of a blazing Yule fire, this is music to warm the heart, from the traditional audience sing-along that includes Deck the Halls and Silent Night, to excerpts from Bach's Cantata no. 132, Berlioz' L'enfance du Christ and Gustav Holst's Christmas Day performed in perfect harmony by musica intima. But let's not forget the well-loved and soul-stirring music from Tchaikovky's Nutcracker played to perfection by the musicians of the VI Symphony, under the baton of the illustrious and popular Pierre Simard. Then, with assistance from musica intima, comes the grand finale with excerpts from Handel's Messiah, and the all-powerful Hallelujah Chorus! "I really love the Messiah," adds Melanie. "I've performed it many times. It is amazing music!"
So come join the party, toast the season and the reason for the season, meet the musicians of the VI Symphony and singers from musica intima, and celebrate the joy of an Intimate Christmas with music and song - in total comfort.
Tickets for Intimate Christmas are available at 250-754-8550.

President Donald Trump attacked Democratic megadonor Tom Steyer, who is funding a campaign calling for the president's impeachment.
Steyer has poured millions of dollars into Democratic campaigns and is reportedly considering a run for Senate or governor in his home state of California.
President Donald Trump attacked Democratic megadonor Tom Steyer, who has launched a $US10 million national television and digital ad campaign calling for Trump's impeachment.
"Wacky & totally unhinged Tom Steyer, who has been fighting me and my Make America Great Again agenda from beginning, never wins elections!" Trump tweeted on Friday morning.
Steyer, a California billionaire environmentalist and former hedge fund manager, released the campaign's first ad last week. In the ad Steyer accuses the president of obstructing justice by firing former FBI Director James Comey, threatening the news media, and taking money from foreign governments.
"A Republican Congress once impeached a president for far less, yet today people in Congress and his own administration know that this president is a clear and present danger, who's mentally unstable and armed with nuclear weapons," Steyer says in the ad, which directs viewers to sign a petition on needtoimpeach.com.
"Fox & Friends" aired the ad for the first time on Friday morning, and Trump praised the show in a tweet just minutes after attacking Steyer.
Steyer responded to Trump's tweet on Friday, calling on Democratic leaders to "take a stand" against the president.
Steyer spent over $US90 million on the 2016 presidential race and a number of other Democratic campaigns and initiatives last year. His super PAC, NextGen Climate, supports candidates committed to slowing the effects of climate change.
He also invested tens of millions of dollars in the 2014 election cycle.
Steyer is reportedly considering a run for Senate or governor in California.

Home Today Column: Here's what Sen. Mike Lee bought incorrect a few Smithsonian Latino...
Column: Here's what Sen. Mike Lee bought incorrect a few Smithsonian Latino museum
Last week, a Newsweek reporter filed a dispatch on a Senate invoice that may result in the creation of the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Latino in Washington, D.C.
At the time, the vote appeared virtually professional forma. The same invoice had sailed by way of the House in July, and lots of anticipated the Senate invoice to go by unanimous consent (Senate parlance for a voice vote). The invoice would then transfer to the White House. And that, reported Newsweek, "would leave President Donald Trump to get it across the finish line before his term ends." No small irony given Trump's typically disparaging remarks towards Mexicans, and the truth that his most important nod to Latino tradition lately was having himself photographed with a taco bowl.
But the invoice was not despatched to the White House. Last Friday, Sen. Mike Lee of Utah blocked the laws for the brand new museum, within the curiosity of "national unity and inclusion" since, he stated, "hyphenated" identities consequence within the "balkanization of our national community."
"It sharpens all those hyphens into so many knives and daggers," stated Lee in a Senate ground speech supposed to cease the movement. (Voice votes might be held up by the objections of a single senator.) "It has turned our college campuses into grievance pageants and loose Orwellian mobs to cancel anyone daring to express an original thought."
After which the man calling out cancel tradition proceeded to cancel the museum. In the method, he additionally cancelled a museum dedicated to girls's historical past.
A view of the Smithsonian's Arts and Industries constructing, which has been floated as doable web site for the National Museum for the American Latino.
(Smithsonian)
Part of Lee's rationale stems from his notion that the Latino expertise doesn't rise to the extent of a federally funded museum on the National Mall. Institutions dedicated to African American and Native American historical past have been totally different, he stated, as a result of these teams have been "essentially written out of our national story and even had their own stories virtually erased."
Never thoughts {that a} Smithsonian Institution activity pressure printed a report in 1994 concerning the methods wherein Latinos have been offered on the Smithsonian's branches. Its title? "Willful Neglect."
"The Institution almost entirely excludes and ignores Latinos in nearly every aspect of its operations," stated the report. The activity pressure "could not identify a single area of Smithsonian operations in which Latinos are represented."
This failure, the report concluded, perpetuated "the inaccurate belief that Latinos contributed little to our country's development or culture."
New Jersey Sen. Robert Menendez, who wrote the Senate invoice — and has been attempting to get the measure handed for years — famous as a lot in his response to Lee. "We have been systematically excluded," he acknowledged, "not because this senator said so, but because the Smithsonian itself said so."
Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey authored a invoice to launch a National Museum of the American Latino.
(Associated Press)
To be honest, the Smithsonian has made many enhancements for the reason that 1994 report. In 1997, the Smithsonian Latino Center was established, which has led to elevated illustration, with the hiring of just about a dozen Latino staffers throughout its establishments, and helped diversify everlasting collections. In 2022, the middle plans to inaugurate a devoted gallery to U.S. Latino historical past inside the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History.
But illustration nonetheless stays a problem. Over the final 17 years (the interval for which exhibition archives can be found on-line), the National Museum of American History has featured solely half a dozen exhibitions round Latino themes. Two of these have been concerning the late Cuban singer Celia Cruz. The most up-to-date exhibition, concerning the Bracero Program, closed in 2017 — three years in the past.
The Smithsonian's arts establishments have a equally sophisticated legacy. Between 1958 and 2016, the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Renwick Gallery staged solely seven exhibitions devoted solely to the work of U.S. Latino artists, in accordance with an exhibition archive printed on-line. Only three of these have been solo reveals — for Argentine-born print maker Mauricio Lasansksy, in addition to Mexican American artists Luis Jimenez and Jesse Treviño.
"Fiesta Jarabe," a sculpture by Luis Jimenez at Otay Mesa, close to the Mexican border. The artist is among the few Latino artists to ever have a solo present on the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
(Carolina A. Miranda / Los Angeles Times)
In 2010, the museum employed scholar E. Carmen Ramos as curator of Latinx artwork (she can also be performing chief curator) and she or he has diligently expanded the presence of Latino artists on the museum by way of exhibitions on city images and the Latino presence in American artwork. She additionally organized the continuing exhibition of Chicano graphics, which is able to return to view as soon as the museum reopens.
But one curator can't be anticipated to undo a long time of neglect. The Jimenez and Treviño reveals have been in 1994 — 26 years in the past — which signifies that a whole era of people was born and has grown into maturity with out seeing a solo present by a U.S. Latino artist on the museum.
And overlook about girls. No Latina had a solo present on the Smithsonian American Art Museum within the interval examined. (Women normally fare poorly. More than half a dozen artists have gotten repeat solo reveals on the museum. They are all males.)

(Mildred Baldwin/ Smithsonian American Art Museum)
The National Gallery of Art — which isn't linked to the Smithsonian however lies solely half a dozen blocks away — is far farther behind. To assessment its exhibition program is to see a museum so wedded to Europe it makes you marvel if the curators one way or the other by no means made it on the boat that introduced everybody else to the New World.
I combed by way of the gallery's on-line exhibition archives courting again to 1971. In 49 years, the museum has had 5 particular exhibitions exploring Latin American artwork. Five of those have been reveals of pre-Columbian artwork; one featured work by Diego Rivera. In the story of artwork as advised by the NGA, U.S. Latinos don't exist and Latin America is a spot that just about solely exists in a distant previous. The final of those reveals was held in 2004 — one adolescent lifetime in the past.
The NGA's archives return to 1941, however I finished researching at '71 as a result of it's the 12 months of my start. And additionally as a result of the shortage of illustration was making me despondent.
I'll be sincere: For a time I used to be ambivalent a few Smithsonian dedicated to Latino historical past. Latin American historical past and Latino historical past are inextricably linked with U.S. historical past. The whole Southwest — together with Utah, the territory Lee represents — inhabits land that was as soon as a part of Mexico. And, to me, it's necessary that that story be advised as half of U.S. historical past in establishments just like the Smithsonian.
Lee stated as a lot in his feedback final week, noting that if these tales have been being "under-represented at the Museum of American History, that is a problem."
It is certainly an issue — however in all probability not for the explanations Lee imagines (all that Orwellian cancelling!).
There is a vacuum on the subject of the illustration of Latinos in U.S. tradition and that vacuum will get crammed by figures like Trump, who usually vilifies Latinos, describing Mexican immigrants as criminals and "rapists." As I've written up to now, the cultural enviornment presents little to counter to those depictions: it's both a gentle weight loss program of stereotype (maid and drug trafficking roles in Hollywood motion pictures) or simply straight-up invisibility.
Late final 12 months, a gunman in Texas drove lots of of miles to El Paso to kill "as many Mexicans as possible." Nearly two dozen folks paid for the cultural vacuum with their lives.
California Atty. Gen. Xavier Becerra was an early proponent of a nationwide museum for Latinos when he was a congressman.
(Gary Coronado / Los Angeles Times)
Years of activity forces and research and well-intentioned committees have chipped away on the downside, however a prominently positioned museum within the capital would supply a visual and compelling counter-narrative — one that may be accessible to a broad swath of the U.S. public.
Xavier Becerra, who previous to serving as California lawyer common was a U.S. consultant for California, was an early proponent of the museum. "Millions of people are visiting the Mall to learn about what it means to be an American," he advised the National Journal in 2013, "and there is this absence of the full richness of what it means to be American."
On Monday, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus despatched a letter to Senate leaders, urging them to incorporate the laws for the museum in a spending invoice that Congress is at present attempting to go.
"With a 500-year history that predates the founding of the country, Latinos have been a part of the American story since the beginning," reads the letter, "but to see the galleries and exhibits throughout the Smithsonian, one would never know that to be the case."

5 Ways to Honor John Lennon
Erica Banas // Rock Music Reporter December 8th, 2022
John Lennon continues to be one of the most influential pop culture figures in history. With every new generation, more individuals discover his work, both artistically and as an activist.
While the anniversary of his death is a somber day, consider doing one of these five things in memory of John Lennon today.
Research famous activists throughout history
Lennon spent a significant part of his public life as an activist of numerous anti-war and human rights causes. Researching his work and the work of other famous activists is a great way to honor Lennon's memory.
Support a human rights organization
Lennon supported a number of human rights causes, from the civil rights movement to various international union efforts. Some human rights organizations to consider supporting and researching include Amnesty International, UNICEF, Human Rights Campaign and Oxfam.
Bake a loaf of bread
When Lennon took a break from music, he was a very active stay-at-home dad. One of the activities he infamously embraced was baking bread. He said in an interview with 'Playboy' shortly before his death, "I took a Polaroid photo of my first loaf. I was overjoyed, you know. I was that excited by it."
Support a peace organization
Lennon and his activism, especially during the Vietnam War, was particularly prolific. He and Yoko Ono took part in many anti-war and peace demonstrations. Some peace organizations to consider researching and supporting include Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, International Peace Bureau, Veterans for Peace and Code Pink..
Spend some time drawing or painting
Lennon's drawings and artwork are as much a part of his legacy as his music. Many of pieces have gone on to sell for staggering prices at auction over the past few decades.

Quando un disastro ecologico di proporzioni bibliche minaccia di distruggere la Terra, i tre piccoli uniscono le forze nel tentativo di salvare il pianeta, messo in pericolo non solo dal riscaldamento globale ma anche da scienziati e politici del mondo che pensano di combattere la minaccia con bombe fredde.

Diddy & Timbaland Debate Whether R&B Is "Dead"
Diddy and Timbaland got into a debate on Instagram Live as to whether R&B is officially "dead."
Diddy is doubling down on his sentiments that the genre is a thing of the past. This time, the Bad Boy mogul goes at Timbaland in a heated session on IG Live to debate whether R&B is "dead" Wednesday night. Diddy claimed that the genre has lost touch with its purpose, explaining that R&B is about "feeling your vulnerability."
"R&B is muthafuckin' dead as of right now," Diddy stated during the stream. "The R&B I made my babies to? R&B gotta be judged to a certain thing — it's the feeling though, doggy. No, no, no. It's a feeling. You gotta be able to sing for R&B and then you gotta tell the truth. R&B is not a hustle. This shit is about feeling your vulnerability."
He continued: "You gotta muthafuckin make a n***a dick hard or a woman's vagina wet. You gotta cry. You gotta be able to get your girl back. I don't wanna hear all this bullshit […] It's our fault for accepting anything less for anybody getting on a mic. I feel like there was a death of R&B singing, and I'm a part of bringing that shit back! I ain't feelin' no emotions."
Timbaland, on the other hand, disagreed with Diddy but struggled to get in many points during the stream. When asked to name five R&B artists who could sing without Auto-Tune, the iconic producer struggled, to which Diddy replied, "R&B don't sound too alive. You don't even know anybody's name."
Diddy also spoke to Mary J. Blige about her opinion, with the legendary singer mentioning her favorite artists to be Chaka Khan, Etta James, Sam Cooke, Aretha Franklin, Jazmine Sullivan, and SWV.
Check out Diddy and Timbaland's debate on the state of R&B below:

EU leader criticises UK over post-Brexit plan
Charles Michel and Michel Barnier (Yves Herman/Pool/AP)
European Union leader Charles Michel has criticised the UK at the UN General Assembly for its threats to renege on parts of the Withdrawal Agreement it signed with the bloc.
He warned on Friday that the 27-nation organisation will not back down in the final weeks of talks on a free trade deal.
Mr Michel said "respect for treaties, a basic principle of international law, comes to be considered optional even by those who, until recently, were its historical guarantors".
"All this in the name of partisan interests," he said in reference to the UK Government.
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson proposed a Bill earlier this month to disregard part of the Withdrawal Agreement (Dominic Lipinski/PA)
His ire was raised when UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson said he would contemplate breaking an agreement he himself signed with the EU.
Mr Johnson proposed a Bill earlier this month that would disregard part of the Brexit withdrawal treaty dealing with trade between Ireland and the UK.
The Withdrawal Agreement officially allowed the UK to leave the bloc on January 31 this year.
The EU insists the agreement must be respected for fear it could otherwise reignite tensions on the island of Ireland.
Northern Ireland has special status in the Withdrawal Agreement because it is the only part of the UK that shares a land border with an EU country.
The UK and the EU jointly promised in the Brexit divorce agreement to ensure there are no customs posts or other obstacles on the Northern Ireland-Ireland border.
The open border is key to the stability that underpins the 1998 peace settlement that ended decades of violence between Irish nationalists and British unionists.
Although Mr Johnson's government has refused a demand by the EU to drop the Bill that breaks international law, it has struck a more conciliatory tone since the legislation sparked an outcry in the UK as well as in the bloc.
It has rowed back on Mr Johnson's claim the EU could try to "blockade" food exports to Northern Ireland from the rest of the UK if there is a no-deal Brexit.
The Prime Minister's spokesman Jamie Davies said the EU has confirmed "normal processes will be followed" and there will be no blockade.
Access to our large market - the second-largest economic zone in the world and the first in terms of international trade - will no longer be sold off
Charles Michel
At the same time, Mr Michel also strengthened the position of the EU's chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, in his talks with the UK on a free trade deal by insisting the EU will not bend to unreasonable compromises.
The talks have stalled over several issues and the EU insists the UK's negotiating strategy is to to hold on to the privileges it had as a member of the bloc without having to carry the burdens of that membership.
The UK is seeking far-reaching access to the EU market but does not want to live by the rules that underpin trade with the bloc, he said.
"Access to our large market – the second-largest economic zone in the world and the first in terms of international trade – will no longer be sold off," Mr Michel said.
"From now on, we will better enforce the level playing field, in a market open to those who respect its standards – whether they leave our union or want to move closer to it."
More UK-EU trade talks are due to take place in Brussels next week.
Both sides have said a deal must be struck by October if it is to be ratified by the end-of-year deadline.
The UK Government said on Friday that "progress has been made" in negotiations but gaps remain in key areas, especially fishing rights and state aid rules.
"There remains a lot of work to do and either outcome is still possible," it said in a statement.

Just as the issue of secession and the firing on Fort Sumter triggered the War Between the States, the issue of readmission (and arguably) the assassination of President Lincoln triggered an almost equally bitter conflict. This conflict, however, arose between the Executive and Legislative branches. It is quite possible that only a man of Lincoln's strength could have succeeded in handling the Reconstruction crisis that led to the feud, and Johnson, his successor, was unfortunately not of the same cut. As will be seen, given the nature of the crisis, few people would.
Generally speaking, Reconstruction is divided into several phases, with the distinction between two of them being Presidential and Congressional Reconstruction, both of which are self-explanatory regarding who was in charge. When Lincoln, the helmsman of the former phase, was assassinated, his successor, Andrew Johnson, took it upon himself to follow through with Lincoln's plan for an amicable and (especially) rapid restoration of the Union. Unfortunately for Johnson, the so-called "Radical Republicans" that controlled Congress at the time abhorred the Southern States' passage of Black Codes and attempted to slow their reentry into the Union as punishment. Johnson, of course, still had speed as his priority and refused to back these punitive measures. When Congress realized they would get no help from Johnson, they decided to take matters into their own hands and proposed the Freedman's Bureau Bill in late 1865. The Bureau itself had been a temporary entity founded by Lincoln immediately after the war with the intention of assisting the newly freed slaves. Under the Bill proposed by Congress, however, the Bureau's longevity and powers would be greatly increased. While this was ostensibly to give more and better aid to the slaves, it was by no means coincidental that the Bill's passage would transfer de facto control of Reconstruction from Johnson to Congress.
From Johnson's point of view, this was a dilemma in the fullest sense of the word: oppose the bill and gain enemies or allow it and lose power. He chose the former and vetoed the passage of the Bill in February of 1866. According to The New York Times, Johnson gave several reasons for this, although the largest one seemed to be that passage of the Bill did not put enough faith in the abilities of the Southern leaders to handle Reconstruction on their own. Furthermore, the article states that Johnson claimed to believe "that the question of the Union is paramount to all others." Taken together, these statements reflect an attempt by Johnson to rally the nation behind him more than anything else. Specifically, in the latter statement he seems to be likening himself to Lincoln and trying to take advantage of the late Lincoln's popularity in the North, with the former statement obviously being an attempt to put him on the good side of the Southern leaders. In the end, this would not help him, as Congress passed the Bill over his veto and basically used their new powers to make life miserable for Johnson, who would go on to have the dubious honor of being the first US President to be impeached.
In Johnson's defense, it cannot be denied that Lincoln, a popular man-of-the-people even before he was martyred, would have been a tough act to follow. In that regard, it is not surprising that Johnson would remain so adamant on his quest to follow through with Lincoln's plan, as to change said plan would have seemed disrespectful to Lincoln's memory and therefore political suicide. The true irony of the situation becomes apparent here, as it was not changing the plan that would turn out to be the real suicide. Specifically, Johnson's unwillingness to deviate from Lincoln's hope for a fast rebuilding-even in the face of the Black Codes-led to Congress trying to seize Reconstruction authority via the Freedman's Bureau Bill, which in turn led to the lose-lose position that Johnson occupied in February 1866.

Michael Gove attacks headteachers over no confidence vote
Michael Gove has criticised head teachers after facing a vote of no confidence and the most hostile reception of his three years in office.
Michael Gove, Justice Secretary Photo: PA
By Graeme Paton, Education Editor
9:00PM BST 18 May 2013
The Education Secretary accused school leaders of failing to come up with "constructive" ideas to boost pupils' performance.
Addressing Britain's biggest head teachers' union he also rejected claims that he was piling unnecessary stress on the profession, insisting he was "not going to stop" demanding higher standards.
The comments came as the Cabinet minister was heckled and shouted down by delegates at the National Association of Head Teachers' annual conference in Birmingham.
Hostilities erupted after members of the 28,500-strong organisation passed a vote of no confidence in his education reforms, including the forced conversation of local authority schools into academies and the introduction of changes to the curriculum and examinations.
The union's president, Bernadette Hunter, also warned that teachers and pupils had "never had it so bad", with morale in schools at an all-time low.
Head teachers to declare motion of no confidence in Michael Gove
Gove like a 'fanatical personal trainer'
Cut school holidays, says Gove
Hundreds of groups bidding to run 'free schools', says Gove
In a series of exchanges, Mr Gove revealed plans for a partial U-turn over the new history curriculum – due to be introduced in 2014 – saying it would face a "more extensive re-write than any other" part of the curriculum.
He suggested lessons – currently almost exclusively focused on British history – would allow "studies into other civilisations and countries".
But Mr Gove faced repeated jeers over other reforms, including a hard-line new Ofsted inspection regime.
Denise Wells, head of Field House Infant School in Ilkeston, Derbyshire said: "The culture we've got at the moment is one of bullying and fear. You ask why head teachers are going down with stress.
"It is because they are spending Monday, Tuesday Wednesday waiting for Ofsted… It's because we're working in a culture of fear, not one of working together."
But Mr Gove told the conference: "If Ofsted causes you stress, then I'm grateful for your candour, but we are going to have to part company."
He added: "What I have heard is repeated statements that the profession faces stress, and insufficient evidence about what can be done about it… What I haven't heard over the last hour is a determination to be constructive, critical yes, but not constructive."
At one point Mr Gove was greeted with laughter as he asked delegates "what are the drivers of your stress?"
The minister went on to say: "If it is stressful that we are demanding higher standards then I am not going to stop that."
Earlier in the day, the NAHT became the first head teachers' union to pass a vote of no confidence in the Government's education reforms.
Tim Gallagher, proposing the motion, said: "Enough is enough. This motion's intention is to send the strongest message possible to this government that many of their education policies are failing our children, their parents and the very fabric of our school communities."
The UK's three biggest teachers' unions, the Association of Teachers and Lecturers, the National Union of Teachers and the NASUWT passed similar votes at their Easter conferences.
The NUT and the NASUWT are already planning regional strikes in the North West next month in a continuing row over pay, pensions and workload with the prospect of a national walkout looming in the autumn.
The latest vote of no confidence is a further sign of the worsening relations between the Government and the teaching profession.
The resolution called on the NAHT's executive to ensure that the government is left in no doubt that that the union represents the "serious concerns" of the profession.
It was passed with 99.3 per cent of the vote.

Florence + the Machine at Harvey's Outdoor Arena | Stateline, Nevada | 8/9/2018 (Concert Review + Photos)
August 11, 2018 by Jason DeBord
"Thank you so much for having us back; this is the first night of the "High As Hope Tour". This next song is from… oh you guys flustered me! This next song is from High As Hope and I wrote it about the place that I was born which is south London, which has a lot less trees than this…" Florence Welch of Florence + the Machine at Harvey's Outdoor Arena in South Lake Tahoe on Thursday night, kicking off her latest tour in support of her amazing new album. "I'm with you… I'm with you like… at the moment my heart, it hurts a lot of the time and I just want to say I want you all to hold hands because I really believe in you and I believe in the power of change. And I believe in love and I want you to hold hands for this song because if we connect, I really think amazing things can happen". A lot of performing artists say things about connecting with their audience, and say those things from the stage, and the audience watch from below as they perform. With Florence, it is not just words. Toward the end of her set, into the song "Delilah", Florence came off of the stage and ran deep into the audience while she sang, literally connecting with fans in the crowd. Then she actually came running across (barefoot of course) the seat in the row I was in, and I got to witness first hand something unlike anything I'd ever seen at a concert. Florence was engaging with fans one at a time, one on one. In many instances she was grabbing their faces and pressing her forehead against theirs, as if she was forming a mystical bond with them. She was right in front of me for a good length of time, and it was kind of surreal to hear her voice singing directly from her, not just through the sound system. It's actually been years since I uploaded concert footage to my YouTube channel, but it was such an incredible experience, I thought this would be the best reason ever to share a snippet of this amazing concert moment (iPhone quality, unedited): LINK Really, it takes a lot to put me at a loss for words, but this concert really transcended what anyone might expect from a live show. For some fans, I think it was a near religious experience. Currently tied for my favorite concert of the year. Definitely the best tour of 2018 I am guessing. And since this was the first show on this tour, everyone has time to try to get out to make one of the upcoming dates.

K.Flay at The Fillmore | San Francisco, California | 1/17/2018 (Concert Review + Photos)
January 20, 2018 by Jason DeBord
"San Francisco, the great and unexpected joy in my adult life is that I make music and I get to play it every night people with that I care about…" K.Flay taking a moment to express gratitude to the sold out crowd at The Fillmore in San Francisco on Wednesday night. In the midst of a North American headlining tour prior to supporting Imagine Dragons in a massive world tour, it was a rare chance to see the rising artist before she starts moving on to much larger venues (which she will soon likely be headlining herself), as the masses continue to catch up to her unique sound and amazing album, Every Where Is Some Where. No stranger to the San Francisco bay area, K.Flay was a transplant to Oakland while she was attending Stanford and beginning to craft her sound and style in music. This was my first show of 2018, and she absolutely set the bar high for everything that follows, as I will be surprised if anyone can top this concert event. [Read more…]

Book of Love at DNA Lounge | San Francisco, California | 2/19/2017 (Concert Review + Photos)
February 25, 2017 by Jason DeBord Leave a Comment
"I guess we just wanna reinforce our message of hope and new beginnings; because anything can happen, hopefully…" Susan Ottaviano speaking on behalf of her and her bandmates and a full reunion of Book of Love as preface to "Happy Day", one of the bright and shiny songs off of their self-titled 1986 debut album. Their music is in stark contrast to a lot of the self-perpetuating negativity permeating our culture today. The band seemed to have more of an attitude about shaping the future by painting a picture of what they wanted it to be, rather than engaging in conflict. Maybe they were onto something that might come around again someday? Optimism is powerful. And San Francisco turned out for a healthy dose of it Sunday night at a sold out show at the DNA Lounge… to be part of this special concert engagement in which all four members of Book of Love performed together, with not just the original hits but new music too, in celebration of their 30th anniversary last year.

USS YP-10 was a wooden-hulled patrol vessel in commission in the fleet of the United States Coast Guard as CG-194 from 1925 to 1934, and in the fleet of the United States Navy as YP-10 from 1934 until 1941.

History
She was laid down at the Annapolis, Maryland shipyard of Chance Marine Construction Company, one of 203 "Six-Bitters" ordered by the United States Coast Guard. She was designed for long-range picket and patrol duty during Prohibition for postings 20 to 30 miles from shore. The date of her launching and completion is uncertain although the class design was finalized in April 1924 and all of the Six-Bitters were commissioned by 1925. She was commissioned in 1925 as CG-194. On 1 January 1934, she was transferred to the United States Navy and designated as a Yard Patrol Craft (YP) and assigned to the 3rd Naval District at New York City where she trained reservists. In late 1940, she was transferred to the Panama Canal Zone, Fifteenth Naval District. She was sold in December 1941.

Ayda Shabanzadeh is Grow Consulting Group's Co-Founder and Managing Director.
I'm Australia's leading Gen Y property educator but, beyond that, I'm the straight shooting friend we all need. When it comes to Gen Y my purpose is to help you achieve your dreams and show you – yes, YOU – how you can become a homeowner. Why am I so passionate about this? Because when I was younger I had to learn about property investment on my own. I made some good decisions but there were some poor choices that could've been avoided if I had guidance back then. That's why I want to help as many people as possible to learn from my mistakes.
So why listen to me? I've gone from struggling to pay my rent in a share house as a teenager to today owning an extensive property portfolio. I'm the Co-Founder of several multimillion-dollar property and finance companies, having began my career over 15 years ago as a debt consolidation consultant. I regularly contribute to Your Investment, Your Mortgage, Domain, The Courier-Mail, Sydney Morning Herald, Sky News, 4BC and Cosmopolitan, when not long ago being a female in this industry meant my opinion wasn't valued. Attend my events or engage with me to learn skills you'll value for life.

Grow Property Group Director Darrin Leung is renowned for his innovative vision fuelled by his passion for the industry.
So when he started the company in 2006 he had key mantras in mind to guarantee success. "Fostering an environment conducive to everyone reaching their maximum potential was one," he said.
Using Michael Jordan and Donald Trump as inspiration, men he admired for their leadership qualities and clutch execution, Grow Property Group grew quickly because clients were impressed by Darrin's personal property investment success.
This progression was on Darrin's radar since a young age. When pressed by his grade five teacher about career plans, Darrin's destiny was already mapped out and emphatic success pictured. "At primary school other kids said they wanted to become firemen and nurses when they were older. I said i was going to change the property world forever," he said.
Eager to not have to overcome the monetary and lifestyle difficulties faced by his parents, who financed the Leung's migration from Hong Kong by tirelessly saving money from their labour jobs, Darrin enrolled at Queensland University of Technology.
Just like Jordan and Trump, with charismatic leadership, the drive of a perfectionist, innovative ideas and spritely competitiveness, Darrin keeps Grow Property Group surging forward as Queensland's best boutique real estate agency.
They say when it comes to judgement calls it's always best to follow your gut and only by doing so did Grow Consulting Group's Ashley Dickson enter the real estate industry.
A former qualified sports massage therapist, whose expertise in this area helps to aid her weekly touch and netball recovery, Ashley joined Newstead Realty from Century 21 West Property. There, she functioned as the Office Administrator and completed a Real Estate Sales certificate which has helped to propel Ashley to her current position.
Initially joining Newstead Realty in a Property Manager Assistant capacity, Ashley's experience in the property industry has seen her rise through Grow Property Group's organisational umbrella. Comfortable in any staff position across Newstead Realty and Grow Consulting Group, Ashley is the Executive Office Manager for the latter and soaks up as much knowledge about sales and developments from Managing Directors Darrin Leung and Ayda Shabanzadeh.
Amongst many day-to-day tasks, Ashley's constantly busy responding to various requests and enquiries, assisting financial enquiries, aiding the management team and ensuring the office is running smoothly.
Ashley's meteoric rise from landlord to invaluable staff member is a real example of the phrase 'love what you do and you'll never work a day in your life'.
A multiple homeowner from Johannesburg, South Africa, Robert Lamprecht is our treasured Sales Consultant at Grow.
An unwavering passion for property, which started when he was a mechanic straight out of high-school, has positioned Rob to thrive in this role given his practical experience.
Rob's road to Grow has included ample education and three successful career changes. He's completed a Diploma of Marketing and studied Marketing at Queensland University of Technology, as well as working as a Mechanic, IT professional and award-winning sales manager for Audio Visual.
In each position Rob, a Tenerriffe local and keen rebuilder of vintage 1960's Volkswagen Karmann Ghia's, has displayed the enthusiasm sure to hasten his ambition to become property's go-to guy within a five kilometre radius of the 4006 postcode.
When Rob's parents moved Down Under they seeked a better life for their son. Through property, on a personal level, he's made it happen. Now he's going to fulfil the same goal for the wider Brisbane community.
Serving as Grow's Front Office Administrator, Michayla Laycock is the first point of contact for visitors to our office.
Joining Grow in 2018, Michayla Laylock was born and raised in Tasmania before moving to Brisbane after finishing high school in 2016.
The youngest staff member in the office, Michayla brings three years of experience in the property industry to our organisation.
Here her main daily tasks include front office administration duties, leasing rental properties, responding to e-mails and managing keys.
"My favorite aspect of working in property is being able to communicate with all different types of people," she said.
Motivated, confident and reliable, Michayla also thoroughly enjoys the fast-paced nature of her occupation.
"A typical day is never the same and each day is always new, exciting and challenging," she said.
In her spare time, Michayla enjoys spending time with family and friends as well as escaping the hustle and bustle of the city all in the name of travel.

The Federal Minister of Intra-German Relations () was a federal cabinet minister of the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany). The office was created under the title of Federal Minister of All-German Affairs (Bundesminister für gesamtdeutsche Fragen) in 1949, being also in charge of the German lands east of the Oder–Neisse line which had been put under Polish or Soviet administration. In 1951, the first Minister of All-German Affairs Jakob Kaiser openly raised claim to even greater territories including Austria, parts of Switzerland, the Saar area and Alsace-Lorraine.

The ministry was renamed in 1969 because "All-German" might have evoked irredentist associations. The change of the name was supported by both left- and right-wing politicians.

The ministry was abolished in 1991 when a new government was established after the federal election of December 1990, some months after German reunification, having supported the transition.

Since West Germany maintained an exclusive mandate for all of Germany, and the legal pretense that the authorities of the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) or Soviet occupation zone (SBZ) should not be recognized, it could not handle relations with East Germany through the Federal Foreign Office, since this would acknowledge that the GDR was a separate country. Hence, a separate ministry for relations within Germany had to be created. Since this ministry had very limited competence and virtually no political power, it soon became a post used by chancellors to block rivals without publicly offending them. One of the main tasks of the ministry was the publication of information material about the situation in the East, to keep the idea of German unity alive and to inform the public about actions of the East German government.

When German reunification became a possibility after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the opening of the inner German border on 9 November 1989, the ministry was completely disempowered by Chancellor Helmut Kohl; all intra-German affairs were now handled by the Ministry of the Interior under Wolfgang Schäuble. Formally, the ministry continued to exist until 1991 in order to facilitate transition.

5 People You Didn't Know Were Down With The Black Panthers
Seve Chambers
50 years after the formation of the Black Panther Party, they are once again the talk of America. And judging by the reactions, their legacy is still strong.
With the new documentary on the group, The Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution, debuts tonight on PBS, the timing couldn't be better. Beyonce's performance during the Super Bowl halftime paid tribute to the group, and the backlash that followed ignited a new conversation about their significance. As many will watch the latest work from award-winning filmmaker Stanley Nelson, a lot will be shown during its airtime but some details will be left out. For example, there are a few celebrities who once were members of or explored being down with the BPP.
Here are five icons who were once connected to the party.
The legendary singer was in fact down with the Panthers in her early days. Chaka Khan befriended Fred Hampton of the Chicago chapter and decided to join in 1967. It was during this time that an African Shaman gave her the name she goes by today. In 1969 however, she left the party and decided to pursue a career in music. The rest is history.
Believe it or not, the award-winning producer and Chic member was part of the Harlem chapter of the Panthers. Nile Rodgers said he joined the party in his teenage years and was an active member during the '60s. He even tweeted about his history with the Panthers after Beyonce's performance at the Super Bowl:
I love @Beyonce song #formation. That's me standing in #formation outside the NYC courthouse. I was 16 yrs old. pic.twitter.com/lwYPtgmG3U
— Nile Rodgers (@nilerodgers) February 9, 2016
We were standing in #formation in support of the Free The Panther 21 Trail. https://t.co/hc5PfU8lzK
Miriam Makeba was not a member of the party, but at one point she was married to political activist Stokely Carmichael. The famous South African singer, who fled her country during apartheid, was blacklisted in the U.S. music industry, having her shows and record deals canceled due to her association with Carmichael. The two moved to Guinea where they lived for the next 15 years. Makeba could not tour in the U.S. during this time but still performed throughout Europe, Asia and Africa. She would eventually separate from Carmichael during the '70s.
Bet you did not see this coming. A young Samuel L. Jackson once received guidance from famed Panthers leaders Stokely Carmichael and H. Rap Brown. Jackson had built a reputation before meeting them, having been with a group that held the Morehouse College board of trustees hostage until they reformed the curriculum. However, before Jackson started working with them, his mother moved him to L.A. out of fear for his life. Later on when he returned to Morehouse, he decided to pursue acting.
The late writer was not a member of the party, but lent her support to them. She visited the party's school in Oakland, and a photo of her teaching a class of students there can be found online. When she passed the former co-founder of the party, Bobby Seale, recounted how she confronted a then-governor Ronald Reagan when he was was attacking the Black Panther Party.
The Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution airs tonight at 9 PM EST on PBS.

Newly launched EU-funded project will help universities and policymakers improve community engagement in higher education
STEERING HIGHER EDUCATION FOR COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT (SHEFCE)
An international project has been launched to support community engagement of European universities, understood as university partnerships with external stakeholders to address societal challenges. The project (entitled 'SHEFCE – Steering Higher Education for Community Engagement'), which is funded through the European Union's Erasmus+ programme, aims to build the capacities of universities, policymakers and stakeholders in Europe for mainstreaming community engagement in higher education. The SHEFCE project is led by the Institute for the Development of Education (Croatia) and gathers 22 partners/associate partners from six EU Member States. The associate partners include the European University Association, the European Association of Institutions in Higher Education, the European Students' Union, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development and the Council of Europe.
Community engagement is an integral part of universities' 'third mission' activities. However, community engagement has so far been largely marginalised in higher education policy, with priority given to the the economic significance and impact of universities. The broader societal role of universities has begun re-emerging in policy initiatives, as reflected in the EU's Renewed Agenda for Higher Education and the Horizon 2020 'Science with and for Society' programme, as well as in the recent European Universities Initiative.
The SHEFCE project is a follow-up to the project TEFCE – Towards a European Framework for Community Engagement in Higher Education that has developed a toolbox to support universities and policymakers in supporting community engagement. The SHEFCE project will have four main outputs:
University action-plans for community engagement at five partner universities
Policy recommendations for system-level support for community engagement in higher education in five countries and at the EU level
A European online platform for community engagement in higher education with resources and tools to support universities and communities.
Piloting a European university-community engagement 'heatmap' to help universities learn from good practices at unviersities in other countries
The project's partner institutions are five 'action-planning' universities (Danube University Krems, Free University of Brussels, Technological University Dublin, University of Girona and University of Rijeka) and experts in the field of higher education policy and community engagement (Association of Catalan Public Universities, Ghent University, Institute for the Development of Education, National University of Ireland Galway) and a social impact agency (Brodoto). The partnership is further supported by four local partners, three networks/national stakeholders and five international associations.
The SHEFCE project is co-funded by the European Commission's Erasmus+ programme Strategic Partnerships in Higher Education and will last until August 2023.
