New Anti-Doping Rules Take Effect in 2022: What Athletes Need to Know
The 2022 WADA prohibited list includes several changes to substances and treatments, including commonly-prescribed medications for asthma.
December 29, 2021 Susan Lacke
Beginning Jan. 1, 2022, updates to anti-doping rules for triathletes will take effect in line with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Code changes.
"The [WADA] Code is reviewed every few years to ensure it becomes more robust and better at protecting clean sport and athletes," said WADA representative Maggie Durand. This review includes a line-by-line discussion of the WADA prohibited list to determine which substances and treatment methods should be prohibited in sport and/or out of competition. WADA signatories, including national federations like USA Triathlon and major race series like Ironman, use the WADA Code to enforce a consistent set of anti-doping rules in age-group and professional athletes. That means the rules that triathletes and many other athletes must follow get updated.
For 2022, the WADA prohibited list includes several changes to substances and treatments, including commonly-prescribed medications for asthma. Athletes should be aware of these changes to ensure they are in compliance with the WADA code. You can see the full WADA prohibited list here and the Global Drug Reference Online is also a useful tool to look up whether individual medications are in compliance.
Per WADA rules, any athlete who needs to use a prohibited substance for medical reasons must apply for a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE)—a special permission allowing an athlete with a medical necessity to use an otherwise banned substance or method. In emergency situations TUEs can be granted after the fact. For instance, in life-threatening circumstances, when a banned medication is administered or required at a hospital or by emergency personnel, both WADA and USADA note that an athlete's health comes first and the athlete must then submit the necessary paperwork after they are no longer in danger. In all other circumstances, WADA encourages athletes to submit a TUE Pre-Check Form to determine if a TUE is necessary and, in the U.S., applications go through the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency. However, it should be noted the focus in clearing applications is on elite and international level athletes.

Glucocorticoids
Beginning Jan. 1, 2022, all glucocorticoid injections are prohibited in competition. This class of drugs, which includes cortisone, dexamethasone, hydrocortisone, methylprednisolone, and prednisolone, is typically used to treat inflammation caused by a wide variety of illnesses, including asthma, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), arthritis, autoimmune diseases, and cancer.
Previously, glucocorticoid injections into joints, bursa, or the epidural space were allowed. However, injections were found to cause a significant increase in glucocorticoids circulating in the blood, which has the potential to result in performance enhancement or cause harm to health. Oral and rectal routes of glucocorticoid administration remain prohibited. WADA does allow glucocorticoids in and out of competition when administered by the following routes:
Topical creams
Albuterol (also known as salbutamol) is a beta-2 antagonist used to prevent and treat wheezing and shortness of breath caused by breathing problems (e.g., asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). It is also used to prevent asthma brought on by exercise. When used by athletes who do not have asthma, beta-2 antagonists may confer performance-enhancing benefits, but also performance-hindering side effects like dizziness, headaches, and nausea. The likelihood of these negative side effects increases with higher doses.
Under the 2022 WADA prohibited list, the daily dosing intervals for albuterol (salbutamol) is reduced to 600 micrograms, or 6 "puffs," over 8 hours, or a total daily (24 hour) dose of 1600 micrograms. Previously, the limit was 800 micrograms over 12 hours. Athletes who require doses exceeding these limits need to apply for a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE).
Dosing limits for other beta-2 antagonists remain the same. These include formoterol (maximum delivered dose of 54 micrograms over 24 hours), salmeterol (maximum 200 micrograms over 24 hours) and vilanterol (maximum 25 micrograms over 24 hours).
BPC-157
BPC-157, an experimental compound making its way into wellness and anti-aging treatments, was added to the WADA prohibited list for 2022 due to a lack of clinical data. BPC-157 is currently not used to treat any specific medical condition, nor has a safe dose been established. As such, there is no basis for granting a TUE for BPC-157.
Athletes should be aware that supplements may contain prohibited substances not listed on the label. Between 2007 and 2016, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) found that 776 dietary supplements from more than 145 companies were contaminated with drugs, including prescription medicines, banned and unapproved chemicals, and steroids or steroid-like ingredients. Under the principle of strict liability in anti-doping regulations, athletes are ultimately responsible for everything that goes into their body, including contaminated supplements. For extra insurance against tainted supplements, athletes can check the NSF International's global Certified for Sport list, an independent third-party certification program, for a full list of certified "clean" companies.
For a complete list of substances and methods banned in and out of competition, visit the WADA prohibited list or search for specific medications or supplement ingredients on Global DRO.

Is The "Norwegian Method" Just Another Tri Training Fad?


Around the country, dedicated teaching professionals who are trained in Orton-Gillingham by the Institute for Multi-Sensory Education are helping their fellow educators become proficient in learning techniques that are unleashing the learning potential for thousands of students.
IMSE's trainers know the daily challenges teachers face when trying to meet students' literacy needs — because they've been there themselves.
Simply put: Our instructors are teachers who teach teachers.
As part of the Journal's 'Meet The Instructors' series, we're profiling these passionate trainers who are putting their knowledge to use — be it with students, or other teachers.
Instructor Kim Collins said she remembers the moment she knew she wanted to educate other teachers in IMSE's Orton-Gillingham.
Collins, an alum of North Carolina's Appalachian State University and American College of Education in Indiana, said she had already been using IMSE's Orton-Gillingham in the classroom for about seven or eight years before landing a spot as an instructor.
"I looked to her and said, 'Oh my gosh, one day, we are going to train this,'" Collins told the Journal.
Though she knew of other specialized reading programs, her experience as a teacher with IMSE's Orton-Gillingham made the choice to work with them obvious, she said.
"I saw how successful it was from using it with students," Collins said.
From those in the general education population, to special ed, to English Language Learners and all in between, Collins said she knew from experience IMSE's Orton-Gillingham was something she could stand behind because she watched it work in action.
When she's not teaching educators how to use IMSE's Orton-Gillingham, Collins said she's working for her home state's education agency and spending time with her family.

Robert Frank: Pull My Daisy
Contributions by Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, John Cohen.
Pull My Daisy is a collectable object containing Robert Frank's famous film of 1959 on DVD; a text booklet with an introduction, the transcript of the film and lyrics to the opening song; and a photo-magazine of on-set documentary photos by John Cohen. Pull My Daisy typifies the Beat Generation. Directed by Robert Frank and Alfred Leslie, the film was adapted by Jack Kerouac from the third act of a stage play he never finished entitled Beat Generation. Kerouac also provided improvised narration. It stars Allen Ginsberg, Gregory Corso, Larry Rivers, Peter Orlovsky, David Amram, Richard Bellamy, Alice Neel, Sally Gross and Pablo, Frank's then infant son. Based on an incident in the life of Neal Cassady and his wife Carolyn, the movie tells the story of a railway brakeman whose painter wife invites a respectable bishop over for dinner. However, the brakeman's bohemian friends crash the party, with comic results. Pull My Daisy was praised for years as an improvisational masterpiece, until Leslie revealed in 1968 that the film was actually carefully planned, rehearsed, and directed by him and Frank.

I am not a huge fan of traditional creamy coleslaw BUT I love love love this cashew coleslaw! It is sweet and tangy with the perfect amount of crunch and texture, and comes together in minutes!
I made this Cashew Coleslaw as a side dish, then couldn't stop eating the leftovers for lunch the next day!
Cashew Coleslaw is the perfect recipe alternative to traditional coleslaw. Maybe I have blocked a negative creamy coleslaw experience as a child, but if creamy coleslaw is on the table, I pass it right by. Not so with Cashew Coleslaw. I literally could not stop eating it. I made it when friends came over for dinner and only stopped heaping it on my plate because I was trying to act ladylike. The next day however, I finished if off! By myself. Didn't even ask if anyone else wanted any!
I like a lot of texture in my salad and I especially love adding nuts to my salads. I also prefer a vinegar-based dressing on salads to mayonnaise-based dressing. So basically, this Cashew Coleslaw salad is perfectly suited to me, and maybe to you too!
Let's take a moment to admire my first Fire King purchase: 3 little vintage bowls for $2! I am in love with them!
No need to belabour the point: I love Cashew Coleslaw and can't wait to share the recipe with you! Hope you like it!
Sweet and tangy, crunchy and delicious, this Cashew Coleslaw recipe comes together fast and will become your new favourite coleslaw!
Put cashews and noodles on a cookie sheet and toast at 350 degrees for about 8 minutes until golden.
Mix these together for the dressing.
Mix nuts, noodles, coleslaw, green onions, and dressing together in a bowl. You can do this a bit ahead of time and let it sit for the flavours to blend together.
Wow. Another recipe that I am going to go nuts over. (Get it? cashew-nuts) oh, well, thanks for a great recipe for me to try. Keep em' coming Nicole.
haha A-a-a-a-cashew. Bless me. Okay, I'm trying too hard to be punny. The recipe is pretty yummy, worth a try!

This pea and ham soup is not only very cheap to make (less than 50p for the peas) it also makes use of leftover gammon that I'd boiled in Dr Pepper at the weekend. There wasn't enough left to make a meal, but it was the perfect amount to add to the soup.
Whilst I'd cooked this in a saucepan it would be an ideal slow cooker recipe, which could be left cooking all day on low.
The kids absolutely loved this with fresh crusty bread, and have asked me to make it again very soon!


If you have a serious interest in the history of Kansas, particularly its settlement, here's a book you'll probably refer to again and again.
The west, 1905 and 1925.
The book also delves into the questions of who settled where and why, examining census statistics to find out which townships were populated by New Englanders, Upper Midlanders, Upper Southerners, Lower Southerners, and various groups of foreigners.
Who settled in the vicinity of the mines of eastern Kansas?
Did any ex-Confederates ever come to the state?
What role did the railroads play in peopling the plains?
Was the African-American town of Nicodemus part of a settlement pattern, or was it an anomaly?
Which groups of people settled the farming areas of the state, and which groups were more interested in ranching?
After illustrating who settled where with an abundance of maps and charts, Shortridge briefly examines the way these varying settlers affected the state in terms of religion, politics, farming practices, and even barbecue restaurants.
A fascinating read for the serious enthusiast, and a great aid to historical research!

IRIAF: Can It Fight?
The Islamic Revolutionary Iranian Air Force. نیروی هوایی ارتش جمهوری اسلامی ایران . IRIAF.
The IRIAF came into being in the early 1980's when the former Imperial Iranian Air Force was renamed. Before that, it was a force being strengthened by the Shah with the good wishes of the United States to counter Soviet aspirations in the area.
The IRIAF has attempted with some success to maintain in service the large number of American-built aircraft which Iran acquired during the Shah's regime. The IRIAF has turned to purchases of Soviet and Chinese aircraft, as well as pressing ex-Iraqi aircraft into service, and locally-built aircraft, in order to maintain a capable force in a neighborhood equipped with top of the line aircraft. Maintaining credibility is difficult with the strict sanctions imposed upon Iran due to their nuclear weapons aspirations. Aerial warfare is no longer a count of airplanes or training hours. It is an expensive force backed by tactical intelligence and logistics.
Although the IRIAF comported itself well in the Iran-Iraq War, it has become a defensive force of uncertain size. In spite of press releases and pictures of upgrades, maintenance issues prevent steady training while supply of weapons is unreliable. The IRIAF cannot expect multiple sorties from its fighters that are known to require considerable maintenance after each flight.
F-5EM
The F-5EM is a simple and reliable strike aircraft and point defense fighter that can be refueled in the air. It is easy to maintain and parts available on the black market to maintain a small fleet. Of the 140 originally sold to Iran, possibly 60 have been upgraded. They should be considered significant.
MiG 29a
In all, Iran received 18 single-seat MiG-29's from the USSR. Several MiG-29's were moved from Iraq to Iran to prevent the Americans from destroying them. While not easy to maintain, if flyable, they are to be considered top quality fighters on a par with US F-15's.
C-130E
The Hercules is an all-around workhorse in the IRIAF. There may be 45 in operating condition. Considered the best assault aircraft ever made, it is a factor in movement and logistics on the ground.
Mirage F1QE
Iraqi pilots flew as many as 10 F1's to Iran who has kept some of them flying. Two were recently rebuilt at an investment of 48000 man hours of labor. They are a very capable aircraft in a visual combat. In close, they are dangerous.
KC135 refueling F5EM
The IRIAF has 1 KC-135 for refueling fighters. They also have a 747 and use their SU-24 fleet for tankers. Air warfare requires this element.
Chendgu F-7M
The Chendgu F-7M Airguard is a Chinese MiG-21. Short range. Easy to maintain. Can operate off unimproved runways. Easy to fly. While only a second generation fighter, it's reliability is a factor that means it will likely be flying when other aircraft are not. Iran has 17.
F-14A Tomcat in Splinter Camo
In the Iran-Iraq War, the Tomcat was pressed into the role of air defense. While the Phoenix missile probably did not contribute to its record, the aircraft handled itself well scoring many kills. Iran was the only other customer for the F-14, receiving 70. Iran has reported to have upgraded 44 to newer standards. If they are working and their aircrews practicing, they can fight.
F-4E Phantom II
Originally, Iran received 225 Phantoms and claim 44 to be upgraded. The F-4 could claim 85 man hours on the ground for each hour in the air. If they are maintained, their crews must still train if they wish to maneuver with modern fighters. They are a capable ground attack machine when mass counts.
In any engagement, one must assume that the Iranians will fly and fight and hold their own against small, well-equipped neighboring air forces for a short while longer. But the odds are stacked against them being able to disrupt an aggressive attack or maintain their own airspace for long. Reduced training, unreliable parts supply and a crazy-quilt of types are all very detrimental to modern air warfare. They are relying more upon missiles to project power in the region.

Q: How to fetch data from row that is indexed to another table row? Hi I have mysql table like that:
.poll_users
(id int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT
name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL
PRIMARY KEY (id))

.poll_referendum
        (id int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT
        name varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL
        PRIMARY KEY (id))

.poll_questions
     id int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT
    referendum_id int(11) DEFAULT NULL
    body varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL
    created_at datetime DEFAULT NULL
    updated_at datetime DEFAULT NULL
    PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
    KEY `referendum_id` (`referendum_id`))

.poll_answers
 `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT
 `vote_id` int(11) DEFAULT '0'
 `question_id` int(11) NOT NULL
 `created_at` datetime DEFAULT NULL
 `updated_at` datetime DEFAULT NULL
 PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
 KEY `vote_id` (`vote_id`)
 KEY `question_id` (`question_id`))

.poll_voting
    `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT
    `question_id` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0'
    `answer_id` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0'
    `user_id` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0'
    `created_at` datetime DEFAULT NULL
    `updated_at` datetime DEFAULT NULL
    PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
    KEY `question_id` (`question_id`)
    KEY `answer_id` (`answer_id`)
    KEY `user_id` (`user_id`))

.vote_types
    `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT
    `type` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL
    PRIMARY KEY (`id`))

How can I fetch vote types that are in vote_types table and correspond to proper question and survey?
I have tried: SELECT vote_id FROM surveys.poll_answers WHERE question_id = 1;
but this gives me:

and  1,2 are indexes to the vote type text SELECT *
FROMsurveys.vote_types
WHEREid=1
In poll_answers table I keep indexes what vote types are assigned to questions and questions are assigned to proper referendums in poll_referendum table
so how do I fetch those vote types corresponing to proper question and survey
like
SELECT vote_id indexes from poll_answers table and they index to vote_types where are stored vote types in text and those vote_types corresponds to proper questions that are stored in poll_questions and referendums that are stored in poll_referendum ?

Thank you for help

A: I'm not sure. Perhaps you are talking about table joins.
SELECT
           v.*
      FROM poll_answers AS a
      INNER JOIN poll_voting AS v ON (v.id=a.vote_id)
      WHERE a.question_id = 1;

\label{anx:torque}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\section{Instalación de TORQUE}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\subsection{Nodo maestro}

Primero instalaremos \texttt{libssl-dev}:

\begin{bashcode}
_: apt-get install libssl-dev
\end{bashcode}

Una vez hecho esto debemos seguir las instrucciones del enlace \url{http://www.adaptivecomputing.com/resources/docs/torque/4-0-1/help.htm#topics/1-installConfig/installing.htm}, que básicamente son:

\begin{bashcode}
_: tar -xzvf torque-4.0.3.tar.gz
_: cd torque-4.0.3/
_: echo '/usr/local/lib' > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/torque.conf
_: ldconfig
_: ./configure
_: make
_: make install
\end{bashcode}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\subsection{Nodos de computación}

Para crear los paquetes necesarios para los nodos de computación, haz lo siguiente:

\begin{bashcode}
_: cd torque-4.0.3/
_: make packages
\end{bashcode}

Ahora se pueden instalar estos paquetes en los nodos de computación usando los \emph{scripts} creados dentro del directorio \texttt{torque-4.0.3}:

\begin{bashcode}
_: ./torque-package-mom-linux-x86_64.sh --install
\end{bashcode}

No hay que olvidarse de incluir \texttt{/usr/local/lib} en la lista de directorios para buscar las librerías enlazadas dinámicamente:

\begin{bashcode}
_: echo '/usr/local/lib' > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/torque.conf
_: ldconfig
\end{bashcode}

Para habilitar TORQUE como un servicio se debe hacer lo siguiente:

\begin{bashcode}
_: cd torque-4.0.3
_: cp contrib/init.d/debian.pbs_mom /etc/init.d/pbs_mom
_: update-rc.d pbs_mom defaults
\end{bashcode}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\section{Configuración de TORQUE}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\subsection{Nodo maestro}
\label{anx:torque-conf-maestro}

Añade los nodos de computación en el fichero \texttt{/var/spool/torque/server\_priv/nodes}. Por ejemplo:

\begin{lstlisting}
## This is the TORQUE server "nodes" file.
##
## To add a node, enter its hostname, optional processor count (np=),
## and optional feature names.
##
## Example:
##    host01 np=8 featureA featureB
##    host02 np=8 featureA featureB
##
## for more information, please visit:
##
## http://www.clusterresources.com/torquedocs/nodeconfig.shtml

### Nodes
lucid-tor2
\end{lstlisting}

Posteriormente copia el fichero \texttt{debian.trqauthd} al directorio \texttt{/etc/init.d}:

\begin{bashcode}
_: cd torque-4.0.3/contrib/init.d
_: cp debian.trqauthd /etc/init.d
_: cd /etc/init.d
_: mv debian.trqauthd trqauthd
\end{bashcode}

Puedes empezar el demonio con:

\begin{bashcode}
_: /etc/init.d/trqauthd start
_: /usr/bin/service trqauthd start
\end{bashcode}

y puedes pararlo con:

\begin{bashcode}
_: /etc/init.d/trqauthd stop
_: /usr/bin/service trqauthd stop
\end{bashcode}

Inicializa \texttt{serverdb}:

\begin{bashcode}
_: cd torque-4.0.3/
_: ./torque.setup <user>   # Asegurate de que el usuario <user> existe en cada
                           # nodo, maestro o de computacion.
\end{bashcode}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\subsection{Comprobación de la configuración}

Reiniciamos \texttt{pbs\_server} en el nodo maestro:

\begin{bashcode}
_: qterm -t quick
_: pbs_server
\end{bashcode}

Y \texttt{pbs\_mom} en los nodos de computación:

\begin{bashcode}
_: pbs_mom
\end{bashcode}

Después de esperar durante un tiempo prudencial, el comando \texttt{pbsnodes -a} proporcionará una lista de nodos libres:

\begin{bashcode}
_: pbsnodes -a
lucid-tor2
     state = free
     np = 1
     ntype = cluster
     status = rectime=1338548162,varattr=,jobs=,state=free,netload=2359153,
              gres=,loadave=0.03,ncpus=2,physmem=1023292kb,availmem=1457904kb,
              totmem=1521972kb,idletime=3003,nusers=0,nsessions=0,
              uname=Linux lucid-tor2 2.6.32-33-server
              #70-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jul 7 22:28:30 UTC 2011 x86_64,opsys=linux
     mom_service_port = 15002
     mom_manager_port = 15003
     gpus = 0
\end{bashcode}

Nota: Si el nodo aparece como \texttt{offline}, y únicamente \texttt{offline} (i.e. no como \texttt{down, offline}) se puede liberar con:

\begin{bashcode}
_: pbsnodes -c lucid-tor2
\end{bashcode}

Para ver el estado de las colas podemos ejecutar \texttt{qstat -q}:

\begin{bashcode}
_: qstat -q

server: lucid-tor1

\end{bashcode}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\subsection{Envío de un trabajo}

Para comprobar que TORQUE es capaz de ejecutar trabajos podemos enviarle un trabajo sencillo. Para ello ejecutaremos el comando \texttt{echo "sleep 30" | qsub} desde el usuario creado al final de la sección \ref{anx:torque-conf-maestro}. Si el trabajo fue correctamente recibido deberá aparecer al usar el comando \texttt{qstat}:

\begin{bashcode}

White Lion had the balls to tackle the subject of apartheid when all the other bands in 1989 didn't. That was a long time ago. 1989. The Hard Rock, Glam Rock, Blues Rock, Heavy Metal and Thrash Metal movements where all riding high, at the peak of their mainstream successes.
It is unfortunate that the Eighties degenerated into a state of generic and clichéd derivative lyrical themes and subjects involving sex, partying and drugs.
When bands branched away from that, it was very hit and miss.
White Lion fell into that crowd of misses as the label "Atlantic" would still push the pop metal or pop rock edge of the band. The tours and marketing had White Lion sandwiched amongst bands like Motley Crue, Skid Row, Kiss, Whitesnake, Alice Cooper, Blue Murder and Badlands.
Of course, Motley Crue, Skid Row, Kiss, Alice Copper all had big wins in 1989. Whitesnake released a great album however it didn't get traction. Call it karma for David Coverdale killing off the promotion on the John Sykes, Blue Murder album.
Actually, Blue Murder and Badlands released timeless and serious albums that in 2013 are seen as cult albums.
Music culture was built by artists taking a stand on a subject. The history of rock and metal is littered with bands that made big statements.
It's the guitar sound. The way it swells and hallucinates with each shifting chord change. You cant help but be drawn in.
"The fire is burning
We lay our weapons down to rest
This war ain't over
'Till all the people will be free"
Growing up in democracy it was hard to fathom how people could be suppressed and denied rights for such a long time. South Africa was never in the news in Australia. It was like a decision was made from the powers that be that South Africa will not be reported at all costs.
Despite the song having a thread of hope, there is still desperation and the idea that freedom was still far away.
"So stand up and cry for freedom
And keep the dream alive"
"Cry For Freedom" is the kind of track that can be played when any uprising to oppression happens. It could have been played during the Arab Spring, the fall of the Berlin Wall or the Syrian Civil War. It never loses its power.
"Our brothers in prison
But no crime was ever done
I call it racism
Ashamed i face my fellow man"
"The children are taken away
And families destroyed
And millions have died from starvation
We can't go on this way"
And the way it ends, it just makes you want to play it all over again.
Credit Michael Wagener, who produced it and still captured a sound that was rock enough to satisfy the rock community. In the end it makes the track connected to the rest of the album.
The "Cry For Freedom" video has 730,603 views on the 80s Classic Metal channel.
White Lion really tried hard to depart from the rock clichés however the public at that time didn't want to be reminded about the world. All we wanted back then was to let our hair down and escape from the working week.
Vito Bratta mentioned in his 2007 Eddie Trunk interview that the songs from "Big Game" didn't really work in a live setting, especially in a rowdy hard rock setting.
It was a concert at the Wembley Arena on Wednesday 01 November 1989 that decided the fate of the album and the rest of the tour.
Mötley Crüe where the headliners with White Lion and Skid Row supporting.
Sandwiched between a wild and energetic Skid Row and a newly sober but still dangerous Motley Crüe, White Lion didn't have a chance.
Skid Row sang about belonging ("Youth Gone Wild"), sex ("Big Guns", "Sweet Little Sister", "Rattlesnake Shake"), street violence ("Piece Of Me", "18 & Life") and relationships ("Can't Stand The Heartache", "I Remember You").
White Lion sang about Greenpeace ("Little Fighter"), broken homes ("Broken Home"), organized religion ("If My Mind Is Evil") apartheid ("Cry For Freedom"), broken romances ("Wait"), sex ("Dirty Woman", "Hungry"), life on the road ("Radar Love", "Goin Home Tonight"), a mystic healer ("Lady Of The Valley) and the state of the world ("When The Children Cry").
All important subjects however the majority of the rock crowd didn't want to hear heavy themes in 1989 from a rock band. Those kind of heavy themes were coming from thrash metal bands. With the death of Nelson Mandela, this song is back in my life.

Historian Henry Louis Gates Jr., is seen during an interview in his home in Cambridge, Mass., Friday, Jan. 18, 2008. Gates, Director of the W. E. B. Du Bois Institute for African and African American Research at Harvard University, and fellow Harvard professor Evelyn Brooks Higginbotham edited an eight-volume African American National Biography that includes the stories of more than 4,000 black Americans.
Skip Gates, please sit down
You are suffering from what I call the "Ivy League Effect"
Check out this article! https://www.salon.com/2009/07/24/gates_12/
a Phantom Negro
The Ivy League is not real life. College in general is not real life, and the Ivy League is a more fantastic version of college. The amenities are better, the rules are flexible, and everyone, student and faculty alike, is well aware that the realities of life as most people know it are merely a peculiar footnote to the day-to-day of campus life. I do not speak out of turn when I say this. I know because I am in and of that world.
As a black Ivy Leaguer, something funny happens as you become ensconced in ivy. You're smart enough to understand that race and racism are a reality you deal with on a daily basis, but you also know that your university ID sets you apart. Does this mean you are kept from hurtful incidents? No, but it is to say that much of the outrage felt at a racial slight is replaced by outrage at a class slight. Sure, we get pissed, knowing we're getting hassled because we're black, but the real indignation comes from being hassled as members of an elite group. How dare you hassle me? I go to school here. I go to work here. That second part of the thought is always present. I go to school here. I go to work here. When the Ivy League Effect is going full tilt, our black compass gets confused; the realities we know to exist become other people's problems.
True story: One night, years ago, many of the black students at school were throwing a party in a dormitory common area when three police officers arrived, flashlights searching the crowd. Nobody moved, nobody left, nobody did anything but keep dancing as three police officers walked through the crowd, flashlights in faces. I didn't run either. In fact, I wondered if they were chasing someone on foot and wondered if the person they were chasing had run into the party.
That could only happen in the Ivy League. Three cops come into a party and nobody, surreptitiously or otherwise, made for an exit? It seems like the beginning of a joke. On one hand, you could argue that this is a sign of progress; a sign that we've moved past the days of fearing police presence. I say that that quasi-luxury is brought on by the muscle backing these students (and, by extension, the faculty) -- the school. All the lessons about dealing with police as a black person seem to have no place in the ivory tower. We can forget those lessons because, more than we're black in America, we're Ivy Leaguers.
Which brings me to Skip Gates. He isn't outraged because he feels he was the victim of racial profiling by the police (that dubious honor goes to his foolish neighbor) [in fact, the woman who called the police is not a neighbor, but works nearby]. He's outraged because he was the victim of class profiling. He didn't resent being identified as black; he resented being identified as that kind of black, the kind of black that can be hassled and pushed around by simpleton cops. How dare you hassle me? I'm Skip Gates: Harvard professor!
Skip has fallen victim to the Ivy League Effect. Check out his articles -- you can definitely go to the Root -- the Web site he is editor in chief of -- if you want to see a repository for the whole masturbatory display. He all but says, "Do I look like that type of (black) person? I was wearing a blazer and a polo shirt!" Gates is Ivy League pissed with a dash of black anger. Not the other way around. Is this to say the police weren't in the wrong? Hardly. As a person who is familiar with the Cambridge/Boston P.D., I can say that the prospect of some procedural malfeasance on their part is entirely believable, if not an abject certainty.
But I'm also sure the good doctor was talking some shit. The Ivy League Effect, when it's potent, wouldn't allow otherwise. It made Gates forget that, no matter what, even when you're right, you don't talk shit to the police. And that's not a matter of manhood or pride; it's a question of survival. Why? Because you're black before you're a Harvard professor. Because, in an extreme case, you can't tell your side of the story if you get shot reaching for your ID. As a black man and a Harvard professor, Gates' thought process should have been: "Wow. I am so thoroughly pissed right now. When this current situation is resolved and I am out of harm's way, I'm going down to the station and I'm going to use my considerable influence to make heads roll. But right now, I need to be the smart one, remember all the details and not give him any reason to escalate this situation." That's what many of my colleagues have done, guns drawn on them at night in the middle of campus by the police. They didn't get loud; they got smart. They defused the situation, then got pissed and did something about it. And, I assure you, they did so with much less juice than Dr. Gates.
I remember when I heard about the story, I couldn't help thinking: Wow, that Ivy League Effect has washed out his healthy fear of the police. Yikes.
Can he be outraged? Absolutely. The circumstance should outrage any person that happened to. But why is he outraged? Because he didn't think the black tax applied to him anymore. In his mind, he was Skip Gates, well-regarded Harvard professor who was being treated poorly in his home by the police. Believe me, if this took place at North Carolina State his sense of indignation would be far different and his ability to garner attention would be much less. And if he was just a working-class stiff? Forget it.
But this didn't happen anywhere else. It happened in Cambridge on Ivy turf and now his story has taken on Paul Bunyan-esque qualities. If you didn't know better, you'd think a lynch mob was waiting outside Gates' door with the rope and the hitching wagon before Ving Rhames came along and saved the day.
Skip Gates thought that he'd worked hard enough, achieved enough, become Harvard enough that this sort of treatment did not apply to him. And now, rather than channel that outrage in a way that is subtle but effective, he's very publicly suffering the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, having "joined the ranks of the million incarcerated black men in America." That's laughable. He does not see those million men as kin and he doesn't, by and large, give a damn about those guys. He's merely annoyed that such an irritation as police misconduct found its way into his home. If he read about this story happening to a plumber in Roxbury, he'd shake his head in disappointment and then go on with his life.
So before we heed the call of racism, let's be mindful of the tower from which that call came. This has something to do with race. But it has a lot more to do with messing with Skip Gates.
The Ivy League Effect, people. The Ivy League Effect.

Interview with Barbara Freethy, Author of Fearless Pursuit
in Author Interviews, News, Romance
What can you tell us about your new release, Fearless Pursuit?
Fearless Pursuit is the newest book in my Off the Grid: FBI Series. It's a page-turning, fast-paced, twisting romantic suspense that features two mysteries and a lot of romantic action and adventure. It's set in the world of Hollywood and spies. What could be more fun? I loved writing this book, because I got to use some of my own personal background in the story.
Back when I was a teenager, I worked at Universal Studios as a tour guide, and the best part of that job was going down to the sound stages on my days off and watching various shows and movies film. I also had to know a lot of history of the movies, the old time movie stars, all the cool tricks they used when filming some iconic movies like Alfred Hitchcock's the Birds, where they sewed bird seed into the clothes of the actors so that the birds would look like they were attacking. I remember the first time I saw that film, I had nightmares.
Anyway, in Fearless Pursuit, my intrepid heroine, Maya Ashton, wanted to make a movie about her grandmother, a famous Russian movie star, who died under mysterious circumstances. When her quest takes her to the Firebird Club in the Hollywood Hills, she runs into a sexy bartender, who seems to have a lot of secrets. Of course, that bartender is my hero Jax Kenin, working undercover. Their missions are on a thrilling collision course but they also find connections they never expected.
What or who inspired you to become an author?
My mother was my inspiration. She introduced the world of books to me when I was probably five years old. She filled my house with books and my favorite trip as a kid was going to the library or the bookstore to get a new book. I probably read every single one of the Nancy Drew books, which shows that I had a love of romance and suspense even when I was younger. My mom also started writing her own book, and that inspired me to give it a shot as well. At the time, I was in my twenties, and I was working in the public relations field. I was writing rather boring articles about semiconductors, that I barely understood, and thought if I could write about something I knew nothing about, maybe I should be writing fiction. So I sat down and started with that blank page…and sixty-eight books later, I still love being a writer.
What's on your top 5 list for the best books you've ever read?
This is such a difficult question as I've been reading most of my life, so I'm going to stick with more recent books in the last 5-10 years. Some titles that stand out in my head are: The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah, In A Dark, Dark Wood by Ruth Ware, Shattered Secrets by Karen Harper, Hideaway by Nora Roberts, When We Believed in Mermaids by Barbara O'Neal.
Say you're the host of a literary talk show. Who would be your first guest? What would you want to ask
Nora Roberts! I have followed her career for twenty years. I've read a ton of her books, and I've always been so impressed by her consistency in delivering amazing stories. I love the way she writes. She's one of the best storytellers I've ever seen. And she likes to write lots of different things, which I also admire. I believe she has a tremendous work ethic, too, that I'd love to hear about.
What's your favorite thing about writing?
I get to discover and tell myself a cool story every single day! I'm not a huge plotter. I know several of my main plot points, but then I spend a lot of time in the story, just listening to my characters, thinking about where they'd go, what they'd do next. My approach usually results in a lot of rewriting, but that's also fun. I won't say that writing is easy. It's always a challenge to bring the story that's in my head out on paper in exactly the way I want, but I have one of the best jobs in the world!
What is a typical day like for you?
I'm not sure there is a typical day anymore with the pandemic, but these days I'm probably up around eight. My young adult son has come back from New York for a few months, so we try to get a long walk in every morning before he does his work from home and I get into my book. He hasn't lived at home in several years, so it's fun to have him around at least for a short time, although that time seems to be getting longer. I generally do the business of writing stuff in the morning. I write much better from noon to five and sometimes I'll write at night or on the weekends. But writing is my full-time job. I release 3-4 books a year, so I'm pretty busy at the computer most days. I do occasionally get in a game of tennis, which gives me some social interaction from a safe physical distance.
What scene from Fearless Pursuit was your favorite to write?
I love the really emotional scenes where truths are suddenly revealed and the hero/heroine are just completely shocked that they're going down a path they never ever expected to travel. I love to surprise readers. Hopefully, it works!
Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?
I'm a worrier by nature and I have a big imagination, obviously, which doesn't help the worrying. But I try to remind myself to stay in the present and appreciate the good, focus on the positive. Luckily, I'm married to a very easygoing guy, so he's a good reminder.
Barbara Freethy is the author of the new book Fearless Pursuit.


In 1996, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, expressing the sovereign will of citizens of our state and relying on the centuries-old history of the Ukrainian state on world experience, adopted the Basic Law of Ukraine – the Constitution, which became a real and effective basis for building an independent democratic state as a full-fledged participant in the world community.

Katara to launch innovative app for walkers to listen to novels
Katara – the Cultural Village will soon launch an innovative electronic application that allows users to listen to audio version of Arabic novels while walking for physical exercise.
The initiative named #Mishwar_Wariwaya will be launched during the Fourth Katara Festival of Arabic Novels, scheduled from October 15 to 17, and can be used in all mobile or electronic devices having Android or iOS operating system. Entries that have won the Katara Prize for Arabic Novel in its first three editions in the unpublished category have been converted to the audio version. The app will contain an abridged version of the novels, with a brief description about the author.
The app will also allow the user to count the number of words they have listened while walking, along with the steps and distance they have covered. Users will also know how much calories they have burnt after their walk. "The idea behind the app is to combine sports and literature and promote Arabic novels. It will allow people to use their leisure time to listen to fiction, the same way they listen to music. The app is specially designed for walkers, in line with Qatar's policy to promote sport and physical exercise," said Khalid al-Sayed, head of the Katara Prize for Arabic Novels.
The Festival will also witness the launch of another initiative "Narrations from novels" for school students to get them acquainted with Arabic novels. Every week Katara will invite school students to listen to readings of selected portions from novels written by young authors who have won the Katara Prize for Arabic Novel in the specific category. The narrations will be conducted by experts in the field in a dramatic and captivating manner, said al-Sayed. The new initiatives follow on similar projects launched during the previous edition of the Katara Prize for Arabic Novel such as the "Novel Theatre" which was aimed to convert some prize-winning novels to dramatic creations.

LG has launched its first true Airpods rival: but there's a catch
Alastair Stevenson Contact via Twitter | October 2, 2019 11:00 am BST
LG's released its first ever true wireless earbuds to take on the ruling Apple Airpods 2019, but there's a serious catch.
LG unveiled the Sound Plus Free "premium" true wireless earphones in Korea late last night (UK time). The earbuds have a traditional semi-open, in-ear true wireless design but come with the added perks of Google Assistant and fast charging support.
Google Assistant support is still a rarity in the true wireless market. The support puts them in direct competition with the Apple Airpods, which feature Siri and the newly unveiled Amazon Echo buds, which support Alexa.
The buds also have some on paper impressive audio chops. It'll use signal processing and advanced tuning technology from Meridian Audio, feature IPX4 waterproof certification and touch controls on each bud.
Related: Best true wireless earbuds 2019
LG has also made a big song and dance about the Tone Plus Free's battery claiming users' will be able to get one hour's listening off a five minute charge. The buds are quoted as offering six hours of music playback off a full charge, which is a step above the 3-4 hour average seen on many competing sets.
We can't comment on how good they actually sound until we've gotten the LG Tone Plus Free in for testing, but the specs are impressive considering the buds 259,999 South Korean won (roughly £175) price tag.
Sound good? Sadly there's a serious catch: the LG Tone Plus Free are only scheduled for release in Korea at the moment. We've reached out to LG to find out if the country will launch the buds in other regions, including the UK, and will update this article when/if we hear back.
The true-wireless earbuds market is an increasingly competitive one. This year we've seen pretty much every tech company under the sun target the space.
Samsung launched new Galaxy Buds alongside the Galaxy S10. Huawei launched Huawei Freebuds 3 at the IFA trade Show in Berlin in September. Google's expected to launch Pixel Buds 2 true-wireless earphones alongside the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL later this month.

SANFORD, Fla. —
To say some Sanford residents had a wild morning might be a bit of an understatement. A pet monkey escaped from its home Monday, and instead of hiding out in a tree, it took to the streets.
Sanford police were called to investigate a report of a monkey eating mail from a mailbox in the Hidden Lakes Subdivision around 8 a.m.
Monkey spotted at Apopka restaurant

Mother Nature isn't going to throw a wrench into Ken Johnson's 21-year streak of attending every Buffalo Bills game - no matter where they play.
Johnson has every intention attending his 336th consecutive game on Monday night, even though the ''home'' game against the New York Jets will be in Detroit because of heavy snow in the Buffalo area.
It isn't to Johnson, a Rochester-based software developer who was formulating contingency plans before the snowstorm began hitting the region on Monday. When the NFL on Thursday night announced the game would be moved to Detroit, Johnson was left with several easy options.
He can fly standby direct from Rochester. And if that fails, he'll make the relatively easy 5-1/2 hour drive.
Dorsey Rembert Sr. of Detroit is a die-hard Lions fan, but that's not stopping him from trying to get tickets to the game. The fact that it's free certainly is a big factor but the 59-year-old Rembert has other motivations.
Whether Johnson is joined by many Buffalo fans is an open question. Not everyone has such flexible hours as Johnson, who anticipates a mostly quiet crowd. He doesn't care.
BEEN DONE BEFORE: Since 1992, the NFL has been forced to relocate games out of the team's home community twice, not including the New Orleans Saints, who spent the entire 2005 season on the road after Hurricane Katrina damaged the Superdome.
The most recent switched happened in 2010, when the Minnesota Vikings' home game against the New York Giants on Dec. 12 was moved to Detroit a day later after the Metrodome's roof collapsed. The Giants won 21-3 before an announced crowd of 45,910. Admission was free, with holders of tickets of the scheduled game in Minnesota offered opportunities to sit behind both team's benches.
MARRONE'S MEMORIES: Bills coach Doug Marrone was an assistant with the Saints in 2008, when the team evacuated New Orleans in advance of Hurricane Gustav. The Saints spent the week practicing in Indianapolis before their opener against Tampa Bay.
The worst part, Marrone said, were the worries Saints players and staff had about leaving their families behind.
INDOOR COMFORT: The chance to play indoors at Ford Field means less equipment the Bills have to ship to Detroit than if the game was played outside. The Bills will practice at the Lions indoor facility starting on Friday night and through the weekend. The storm forced Buffalo to cancel practices on Wednesday and Thursday.
JET-TING OFF: Jets coach Rex Ryan isn't concerned with the change of venue.
Off since a 20-13 win over Pittsburgh on Nov. 9, the Jets get an extra day of practice on Saturday before flying to Detroit on Sunday. New York will be playing on consecutive Monday nights. The Jets host Miami on Dec. 1.
REFUNDS: Bills season-ticket holders will either receive a refund or have their accounts credited should they renew for next season. Those who bought single-game tickets through the team, Ticketmaster or the NFL's TicketExchange are also receive refunds, including fees.
ON THE AIR: CBS was scheduled to broadcast the game on Sunday and will air the game Monday but only the teams' regional markets. DIRECTV announced the game will be available as part of its national Sunday Ticket package. ESPN is airing Baltimore playing at New Orleans at 8:30 p.m. EST on Monday.

How much will Marketplace health insurance cost?
Prices of Marketplace plans have not been set yet. Prices will be available Oct. 1, 2013, when open enrollment starts and you can begin shopping.
How will Marketplace health plans be priced?
All insurance plans available through the Marketplace will be offered by private insurance companies. The insurance companies will decide which plans to offer and how much each will cost.
All Marketplace plans must be approved by state insurance departments and certified by the Marketplace. Prices are approved by state insurance departments as required by state law.
Some Marketplace health plans will have lower monthly premiums and may charge you more out of pocket when you need care. Some will be higher-premium plans that cover more of your costs when you need care. Others will fall in between. All plans will cover the same list of essential health benefits.
Starting in October when you use the Marketplace to compare plans, you'll see prices for all plans available to you. Prices will show any cost savings you may be eligible for based on your income.
When you use the Marketplace, you may be able to get lower costs on monthly premiums or out-of-pocket costs, or get free or low-cost coverage.
You can save money in the Marketplace in three ways. All of them depend on your income and family size.
If you fall within these thresholds, you'll see the amount of savings you're eligible for when you fill out your Marketplace application. Prices shown for insurance plans will reflect the lower costs.
These lower costs are handled with a tax credit called the Advance Premium Tax Credit. But these tax credits can be applied directly to your monthly premiums, so you get the lower costs immediately.
Will I qualify for lower out-of-pocket costs?
When you get coverage through the Marketplace, you may be able to get lower costs on deductibles, copayments and coinsurance.
As with the premium tax credits, whether you qualify depends on the size of your household and your annual income. For getting lower out-of-pocket costs, the threshold is lower.
Plans in the Marketplace are separated into four different categories: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum. These categories are based on how much of your medical costs you pay and how much the plan pays when you get medical care. They are not based on plan quality. If you qualify for out-of-pocket savings, you must choose a Silver plan to get the savings.
Medicaid programs must follow federal guidelines, but they vary somewhat from state to state. Most states offer coverage for people below a certain income, including pregnant women, some seniors, people with disabilities and adults with children. Under the Affordable Care Act, Medicaid eligibility is expanding in most states.
Visit www.insurekidsnow.gov, or call 1-877-543-7669.
Fill out the Marketplace application when enrollment opens on Oct. 1, 2013. When you finish this application, the Marketplace or applicable entity will tell you which programs you and your family qualify for. If it looks like anyone in your family is eligible for CHIP, the Marketplace will notify the CHIP agency so that your coverage can start right away.
CHIP provides low-cost health coverage to children in families that earn too much money to qualify for Medicaid. In some states, CHIP covers parents and pregnant women. Every state offers CHIP coverage, and works closely with its state Medicaid program.
Can I buy a "catastrophic" plan?
People under age 30 and some people with limited incomes may buy what is called a "catastrophic" health plan. It protects you from very high medical costs. A catastrophic plan generally requires you to pay all of your medical costs up to a certain amount, usually several thousand dollars. Costs for essential health benefits over that are generally paid by the insurance company. These policies usually have lower premiums than a comprehensive plan, but cover you only if you need a lot of care. They basically protect you from worst-case scenarios.
In addition to people in their teens and twenties, people over 30 with low incomes for whom other insurance is not considered affordable or who have received a hardship exemption from the penalty may be able to buy these catastrophic plans in the Marketplace.
No copayments or other cost-sharing if your yearly income is below a certain level—around $70,650 for a family of 4 in 2013 ($88,320 for the same family in Alaska). When you fill out a Marketplace application, you'll find out whether you qualify for these lower costs.
If you qualify for Medicaid or CHIP and you're eligible for or have gotten services from the Indian Health Service, tribal health programs or urban Indian health programs, you won't have to pay Medicaid or CHIP premiums, enrollment fees or out-of-pocket costs. Indian trust income isn't counted when determining Medicaid eligibility.
If you're applying for Marketplace coverage, in addition to basic information about household size and income, you'll need to provide information about income from Indian trust land, natural resources, and items of cultural significance. This income won't be counted for Medicaid or CHIP eligibility, but may be counted for Marketplace purposes.

Browne Predicts Big Win
Two of the seats held by the United Progressive Party (UPP) in the last parliament will go the way of the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party in the June 12 general elections, suggests Gaston Browne. Speaking at an ABLP rally in Mock Pond, All Saints, Tuesday night, the political leader of the ABLP, Gaston Browne, said his party's latest poll shows the ABLP winning both the All Saints West constituency, and the All Saints East and St Luke in the next general elections.
"If you had asked me fifteen months ago if we would have won the All Saints East and St Luke seat, I would have said no. But today, I say to you definitively that comrade Colin Tin Tin James will win the All Saints East and St Luke seat. Now in All Saints West, we were defeated badly and when we did a poll one year ago, we were behind by 16 points. We had to make some hard decisions. My friend Daven Joseph, we had to replace him; but I am sure that he understands that we were thinking of what was best for the party, the people and the country," Browne explained.
Moreover, Browne's optimism is being supported with the people's impressions that there is a new breeze and refreshing wind blowing in the constituency of All Saints West. "Now today, our charismatic and hard-working find, Comrade Michael Browne, is leading Chanlah Codrington," and the gap is widening daily Gaston Browne disclosed. The undisputed political leader of the ABLP said that both All Saints seats will fall into the fold of ABLP; this would be a remarkable feat for the ABLP. Gaston Browne said to the crowd's pleasure perceived from the vociferous round of applause and clapping, that this would give the two areas of All Saints proper representation in parliament;, a marked improvement for what obtained in the last parliament.

Firmware Friday: Fuji X-T1 gets big AF improvements; Canon 7D II and Nikon P900 bugs are squashed
7d ii 7d mark ii 7d2 canon canon 7d ii canon 7d mark ii firmware firmware friday firmware update fuji fuji x-t1 fujifilm fujifilm x-t1 nikon nikon p900 p900 update x-t1 x-t1 graphite silver
by Mike Tomkins

With nothing new to report, Firmware Friday has been on hiatus for the last couple of weeks. Now, it returns in spectacular style with news of a huge update on the way for Fuji X-T1 owners, as well as updates for both the Canon 7D II and Nikon P900 also landing.
We'll start off with Canon and Nikon, given that their updates are already available for download. Firmware version 1.0.4 for the Canon EOS 7D Mark II brings five changes, according to the company, all of them aimed at squashing bugs. Issues in earlier firmware versions included autofocus problems with the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM lens at around the 100mm focal length, and a conflict between anti-flicker shooting and the AI Servo AF mode, failure to apply a picture style in Custom Shooting modes. Two further issues said to have been vary rare included incorrect date and time recorded on the first image captured in live view mode, and excessive image noise when the Auto Lighting Optimizer function is enabled. All of these bugs are said to have been addressed in the new version 1.04 firmware, which you can find here.
Next up is firmware version 1.1 for the Nikon Coolpix P900, an ultrazoom camera with a spectacularly far-reaching 83x optical zoom lens. There are but two changes in this new firmware release, both of them relating to automatic switching between the viewfinder and LCD monitor with the camera's eye proximity sensor. In the original v1.0 firmware, the camera would sometimes lock up completely, or simply stop displaying or saving images properly after you brought the viewfinder to your eye, or when you lowered the camera to look at the LCD monitor. With firmware version 1.1 installed -- you can download it here -- neither problem should trouble you any more.
And finally, we come to the upcoming version 4.00 firmware update for the Fujifilm X-T1 and X-T1 Graphite Silver. And frankly, just that version number alone should tell you plenty about Fuji's commitment to after-sales service. It's not often that a manufacturer will provide a firmware update significant enough to merit an entirely new version number, let alone more than one of them. There's no question that this is a big update, though, just as was the version 3.00 update released last December.
So what's new in Fuji X-T1 version 4.00? There are a whole raft of changes, no less than 10 of them in total, as follows:
New AF System
New AF system with Zone and Wide/Tracking modes for effortless capture of moving subjects
The AF System complements the fast and accurate 49-single-point autofocus system with new Zone and Wide/Tracking modes, which use 77 autofocus points across a wider area to substantially improve the camera's ability to capture moving subjects.
The Zone mode allows users to choose a 3x3, 5x3 or 5x5 zone from the 77-point AF area. When combined with the AF-C continuous focusing mode, the camera continues tracking a subject at the center of the selected zone. The 3x3 and 5x3 zones at the center, in particular, offer extra-fast focusing with the use of the built-in phase detection pixels.
In the Wide/Tracking mode, the camera displays the area in focus, identified automatically out of the 77-point AF area (Wide in the AF-S mode) and tracks the focus area's subject across the entire 77-point AF area (Tracking in the AF-C mode). This makes it possible to maintain focus on a subject that moves vertically, horizontally, and back and forth.
Improvement of AF accuracy
Single-point AF divides the focus area into smaller sections to more accurately determine the distance to the subject for even greater focusing accuracy. The built-in phase detection pixels have the detection range of 0.5EV, an improvement from the previous 2.5EV, delivering phase detection AF performance that enables fast focusing in low-light conditions and on low-contrast subjects.
Eye Detection AF
The firmware update provides Fujifilm's Eye Detection AF, which automatically detects and focuses on human eyes. The function allows you to easily focus on the eyes even in difficult conditions, e.g. when shooting a portrait wide open to obtain a beautiful bokeh background.
Auto Macro mode
The firmware update introduces the Auto Macro function, which automatically switches the camera into the Macro mode while maintaining the conventional AF speed. You no longer have to press the Macro button to initiate a close-up shot. This update eliminates the Macro function assigned to the Macro Button, allowing you to assign a different function to the button.
AF improvement in the Movie mode
The optimized algorithm delivers a more natural and smooth AF action during movie recording.
Other improvements
Improved Shutter Speed Dial operation
When the Shutter Speed Dial is set to T and the Shutter Type to Mechanical + Electronic, you can use the command dial to set a full range of exposure times from 30-1/32000sec. Previously, this was limited to 30-2 seconds. This means you can change the shutter speeds across a broader range without having to change camera position. This is particularly useful when shooting in the portrait orientation with the Vertical Battery Grip VG-XT1 attached.
Exposure Compensation control in Manual.
You can use the Exposure Compensation dial to make exposure adjustments while shooting in the Manual exposure mode with the ISO Auto setting.
Finer lines on the framing grid enhances visibility
The lines on the framing grid, which you can choose to display in the Screen Set-Up menu, have been made finer making it easier to view the subject.
Name of Silent mode changed to avoid confusion
The Silent Mode has been renamed to "SOUND & FLASH OFF".
*Phew!* -- Quite the update, but when can you expect it to arrive? According to Fujifilm, X-T1 owners can look forward to all of these new features from late June 2015. Expect more on this in a future Firmware Friday article!

Elastica were an English rock band formed in London in 1992. The band are influenced by punk rock, post-punk and new wave music.[1] They are best known for their 1995 album Elastica, which produced singles that charted in the United Kingdom and the United States, including their highest charting US Hot 100 hit "Connection". They split amicably in 2001, roughly a year after releasing their second LP.[2]
1.1 Post break-up
3.1 Studio albums
3.2 Compilations/EPs
In mid-1992, ex-Suede band members Justine Frischmann and Justin Welch decided to form a group. By the autumn of that year, bassist Annie Holland and guitarist Donna Matthews were added. After initially gigging under names such as "Onk", the band settled on the name "Elastica" in October 1992. Elastica released their first single, "Stutter", in October 1993, which benefited from the promotional efforts of BBC Radio 1 DJ and Deceptive Records label boss Steve Lamacq, who had discovered the band earlier in the year. In 1994, Elastica released two UK Top 20 singles ("Line Up" and "Connection") and performed on numerous radio shows. In addition, Frischmann's relationship with Blur frontman Damon Albarn made tabloid headlines.[3]
Elastica's first LP, Elastica, was released in March 1995, and entered the UK Albums Chart at No. 1;[3] it became the fastest-selling debut album since Oasis' Definitely Maybe.[4] This record was held for over ten years when it was surpassed by the Arctic Monkeys' debut record in 2006.[5] The album was preceded by their fourth single "Waking Up" which went to No. 13 on the UK Singles Chart, their highest placing therein.[3]
The band became subject to controversy when several bands sued them for plagiarism. Specifically, the post-punk band Wire (whom Elastica counted as one of their main influences) claimed that many of the band's melodies were taken from Wire compositions, as well as by The Stranglers. Notably, Wire's "I Am the Fly" has a chorus similar to Elastica's "Line Up" and the intro synthesizer part in Elastica's "Connection" (later also repeated on guitar) is lifted from the guitar riff in Wire's "Three Girl Rhumba" and transposed a semitone, and The Stranglers also passed comment that Elastica's "Waking Up" bore a marked resemblance to their song "No More Heroes". The disputes were resolved by out-of-court settlements.[3][4]
The mid-90s witnessed another "British Invasion" in America. And while there were many Britpop acts who boasted of huge success at home, few made it across the Atlantic with the exception of Elastica and Radiohead, whose simultaneously released 1995 albums Elastica and The Bends had sold just under 400,000 copies in the US by Summer 1996.[6] "Stutter" and "Connection" received airplay on modern rock radio and also both charted on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at nos 67 and 53 respectively; as did their debut album (which was later certified gold). After performing at the 1995 Glastonbury Festival, the band joined the Lollapalooza tour continuing an almost solid year of constant gigs where they toured North America four times.[4] Citing exhaustion, original bassist Annie Holland quit the band in early August 1995 and was replaced for the remainder of the tour by session bassist Abby Travis. Holland was not permanently replaced until the arrival of Sheila Chipperfield in the spring of 1996. Also around this time keyboardist David Bush (ex-The Fall) was added to the line-up.[3]
After playing more shows and demoing new material in the first half of 1996, Elastica entered the studio in the later part of the year to begin work on their second album. By late 1998 Matthews had left the band. She was replaced by guitarist Paul Jones and keyboardist Sharon Mew. Also around this time Chipperfield was replaced with a returning Annie Holland.[3]
As a tribute to the "lost years" of the band, a self-titled six-track EP appeared in August 1999, collecting a variety of recordings from a multitude of aborted sessions. This EP marked the first new material from the band in over four years. After re-recording most of these songs in mid-1999, along with new compositions, the band played their first set of shows in years. Their second proper album, The Menace, was released in April 2000. After the release of the farewell single "The Bitch Don't Work" in 2001, the band announced their amicable break-up.
Post break-up[edit]
In 2005, Frischmann emigrated to Boulder, Colorado and studied art at Naropa University. By 2008, she had started working as an artist, later moving to the San Francisco Bay Area.[7] Matthews is a pastor in Totnes and according to a recent BBC 6 show has been linked romantically to Lawrence Chandler of Bowery Electric.[citation needed] Holland lives in Brighton.[citation needed] Welch and Mew are married and live in Devon.[citation needed] Welch played drums for Lush's 2015-16 reunion shows.[8] Jones is the A&R man at Rough Trade joining after managing his Slogan label, which released The Fall's Fall Heads Roll. He signed the group Warpaint.[citation needed]
On 21 January 2017, the band's official Facebook page posted photos featuring three quarters of the original line-up - Matthews, Holland and Welch - during a visit to Abbey Road Studios in London. They were working on a remaster of their debut Elastica with Mastering engineer Sean McGee. Frischmann also worked on the remaster.[9] The record was reissued in April on Record Store Day.[10]
