Sep 26 Album Review : Metallica - St. Anger (2003)
Listen to St. Anger here (or don't)
Before anyone could actually listen to Metallica's eighth studio album St. Anger, it was promoted as somewhat of a return to form. It would be purposefully raw and more complex, just like old time. Fast forward fifteen years and St. Anger is known today as Metallica's worst album by fans and critics alike. I do believe their Lou Reed collaboration LuLu is their worst album, but most people wouldn't call it music. This album has been shit on by everybody for a decade and a half, so what is there left to say about it? Plenty. The depths of St. Anger's ineptitude are inscrutable.
Where do I even start? Everything's already been said about St. Anger's piss poor production. There's raw production and there's this. The guitars are ridiculously downtuned and muddled. They bass comes and goes, which I suppose can be explained by not having a permanent bassist the. And the drums… well, they are what they are. They're an abomination of God and they're way to loud in the mix. A raw production usually involves a vision of some kind. It's not that hard to sound like you've recorded in your garage, next to an industrial washing machine, but it needs to have a purpose. It needs to be angry and primal. This is not the case here. It just comes off as lazy and opportunistic.
But the abysmal production and the meandering song structures are not even the worst part of St. Anger. These songs, which James Hetfield qualified of "deep" are laughably bad. Hetfield used to be a terrific songwriter. Songs like Master of Puppets, Sad But True or One had powerful allegories and dramatic heights that fans could live vicariously through. Not sure what happened between 1997 and 2003, but James lost his lyricism somewhere along the way and never got it back. Let's go through some of the lyrics on St. Anger and try to connect with them like we did on Ride the Lightning or Master of Puppets:
St. Anger:
Saint Anger around my neck
He doesn't get any respect
You flush it out, you flush it out
I have no idea what this is supposed to mean. I get that the narrator is worshiping his own anger, but who's getting disrespected here? Anger? It's an emotion, not a real saint. The narrator? I need a little more context here. And what's that thing about flushing it out? Could you have chosen a verb that doesn't evoke a fucking toilet? If Metallica had built a mythos around St. Anger this would maybe work, but it just comes off as faux-tough guy angst here.
Frantic:
My lifestyle determines my deathstyle
Wow. So tough. What does it mean exactly? That you're going to drink yourself to death? That you're going to electrocute yourself with your guitar while playing a muddled, slowed down rendition of Creeping Death? This is not deep. There is no such thing as deathstyle. And rhyming style with style is legitimately lazy. It's like when Kid Rock rhymed things with things on a beat he shamelessly ripped from Sweet Home Alabama. This is embarrassing.
Invisible Kid:
I'm beating right here
Is this an allusion to masturbation? For fuck's sake, James. This is lazy pop writing that's unbecoming of Metallica's legacy. By the way, I had never actually listened to this song before going through St. Anger for this review and I just found out that the famous Matt Smith parody is meant to laugh at Invisible Kid. I thought Smith was just improvising on muddled guitars and trashcan drums. No, he was riffing off a song that actually exists. I don't know what else to tell you, really.
But did I like anything on St. Anger? Not really. There are some OK melodic moments that are lost in this lazy and muddled productions. The verses on the title song are delivered with an infectious energy that almost makes us for how terrible the chorus is. The slower parts of Sweet Amber might not be all that great, but they give a respite from the one dimensional stati buzz that St. Anger is. Otherwise, this album is pretty far up its own ass, really. It's probably the worst album about substance abuse and personal demons ever released in the history of rock n' roll. Anger and angst at nothing in particular might've been something kids under 14 years old connect with, but they were too busy buying Limp Bizkit albums in 2003 to give Metallica the time of the day.
St. Anger is an album that needs to be put in perspective. Metallica was going through some all-time lows, then. It took over two years and a half, from start to finish to record it. James left for alcohol rehab at some point. They were auditioning for a new bassman and had fuckin' Bob Rock of all people playing on the actual songs. They were an absolute mess and the music reflected that. But in good Metallica fashion, they tried to sell us poop like it was gold. St. Anger was bad when it came out and it's perhaps even worse today. But it's not even Metallica's worst album. Oh no. I kept this one for the end. Next month I have Death Magnetic and then….

Welcome at my site. I am a strategy writer, speaker, trainer and advisor with my homebase in the Netherlands.
We live in the age of too much. Too much information, too many choices, too much pressure and too much change.
My goal is to help you thrive in this age. Personally, as business leader, as organization or together as collaborative network.
To learn how to thrive in a world of too much, my books are a good starting point. They offer practical, step-by-step support to help you adapt while keeping you focused on who you are.
I blog frequently on forbes.com to share my ideas and observations about how to thrive in a world of too much. A selection can be found here. Get inspired and comment if you like.
I help leaders, organizations and networks focus and adapt. By closely engaging with them, I guide them in the processes and practices that make them thrive in a world of too much.
I believe that, to thrive in a world of too much, you need to understand who you are and what you can do, stick to this and create a continuous process for adapting everything else. This makes that you stay true to yourself and remain in sync with the ever changing world.
I also believe that I don't have the answers. You and your people are the experts in your line of business. But I can listen, give my viewpoints and engage in a focused and structured dialogue with you and your people to help you find the answers.

Hydrofeminism—which is an exploration of our biological commonality and its roots in water—is part of a set of texts and studies that have formed the basis of his research for this exhibition. He was particularly struck by on-going research that claims that memory can exist in water and that psychological trauma might be transmitted from generation to generation via our DNA. One such study, carried out by Masaru Emoto and Luc Montagnier (Nobel Prize laureate for the discovery of HIV), discovered water's molecular responsiveness to emotions.
In Me Everything is Already Flowing is the first iteration of a series of exhibitions and performances that will take place over 2017, in London (What Flows Through and Across at Assembly Point, 17 Jan. – 25 Feb. 2017) and in Paris (Acqua Alta, Sultana Gallery, April-May 2017), alongside the presentation of three related performance works at Union Pacific (Aug. 2016), The Showroom (Nov. 2016) and Tate Modern (Mar. 2017).
A publication with a text by Tom Hastings will accompany the exhibition.
This exhibition has been made possible with the generous support of the Institut Français, Germany.

We have two rules for our guests. No swearing. No banging. But, as you'll find out on this week's show, those rules do not apply to Team OLL. Obviously it's because Simon wasn't on the show so the rest of Team OLL felt we could break the rules. Worryingly this may mean that Simon is the responsible one of Team OLL.
For instance, Simon is responsible for booking our Super-Special Guests and he came up trumps this week with Ben Nicholson from Cape Guy Games. Or should that be Ben Nicholson, who is Cape Guy? We tried our best to work this out, but as usual we got incredibly confused. We're blaming the incredibly quick studio changeover from Lewis Schaffer's Nunhead Radio - which we now have to a fine art and shall be teaching our techniques to F1 pit crews across the world.
Anyway, Ben was on the show to talk about his new game Ski Three, which is a match three game crossed with an endless runner. We found out about who the game was aimed at and why that could have caused problems if it wasn't good enough (luckily it was). Ann gave us all a live skiing lesson and Ste got confused between piracy and friendship.
We also had to commence dealing with our lawyers thanks to a tip-off from Jimmy at Loading Bar. Can any of our listeners in Norwich help us?
For some reason there was a piano in the corner of the Resonance FM office and we felt it was a sign for Team OLL, not least because it had its top off. Two thirds of Team OLL had just flown in from Sweden (boy were our arms tired!) so we were still a little giddy from hosting an awards ceremony and giving hotel lobbies the gift of karaoke. Which reminds us: Come and see us this Saturday in Nottingham GameCity.
This week's Super-Special Guest was Jamie Firth, who was on in his role as one half of Monkey 99 - the hot new company to help indies (and majors) produce their videogames. We find out if all publishers are evil, where indie game developers go wrong and if Jamie knew everything about his business partner before they joined forces. He really should have spoken to our HR director before he made the leap - it would have helped him immensely.
Next week is our three hundredth episode - expect us to forget and not do anything spectacular. But we'll probably have the dependable Sega Badawi providing us with Local News as he did this week. We'll also find out if Simon's PSVR has finally made its voyage to the bottom of the canal where it will join his Wii. Fare thee well, Simon's PSVR.
Sorry for the lack of a show last week, but it was in order to get you fully prepared for our summer break. Yep, we're off for all of August and will return to air on the 5th of September. So this means that we wanted to tie off our loose ends like Clive Anderson* before we go off to America / watch cricket / look for Pokemon / all three. Now if you recall, one thread that has been through all this season of OLL was David McCarthy's forthcoming soft/hard launch of BFB Champions Global Kick Off. And for this thread to be fully tied off we got David back in the studio to tell us about how it is going to be what experts (us) call "The Pokemon Go of football games". Well, Cybird are soft launching it in different countries like what Pokemon Go did so we feel safe enough to make that comparison.
Tomorrow (as in Wednesday 28/07) we're doing a special Pokeoke at the Loading Bar, which is a Marioke but only about Pokemon. It's going to be a one-off special so bring your pikachu jumpers, your best singing voice and a friend or (mew)two.
We also did a bit of Microsoft Role Play, made an announcement of behalf of Lewis Schaffer and found out that Captain Tsubasa is the Japanese version of Olive et Tom. And John Life Left made a return to the airwaves along with some Local News courtesy of Sega Badawi.
* By which we mean that we will tie off our loose ends like how Clive Anderson does it, not that Clive Anderson is a loose end.
With Simon having booked the day off to do something special Team OLL was at a loss at how to replace him. Luckily Doncaster's premier top-light entertainer and former market stall holder Derek Williams was passing by so he was willing to offer his help at no extra cost. Well, apart from the constant promotional considerations for his various side-projects that Derek took the opportunity to advertise at every gap in proceedings. But we highly recommend all of Derek's side projects, as well as his above, below, front and back projects.
Another project that we highly recommend is Dreadbit Games's Seraph and – no! But yes! – we had the creator of the game Daniel Leaver on the show to promote it. Seraph is a skill based acrobatic shooter inspired by a film starring Christian Bale, but not that one where he shouted at the film crew (that inspired how we treat people on The List when we're at GameCity). Daniel showed us what the sound effect for slowing down is and also explained what he does at Dreadbit (2% director, with the rest (which we believe to be 68%) doing anything else to help with the game).
We also EXCLUSIVELY reveal who we think will be the new cover star of FIFA 17, curate for the pope (although he's kind of a curate himself) and hear some local news from Sega Badawi (who is finding it difficult to find non-political stories to satirise). Oh and we play some live Pokemon Go, which we suspect is something you'll be hearing for the next few months. Hey, it makes a change from VR doesn't it?
We're back from a mid-week trip to Nordic Game and managed to get Scanters successfully through customs, although she did come back with something that she got from a boat trip (congrats Ann - congrannts). Because it was so hot on Monday (unlike now) we had the window open, which means this week's show is naturalistic/noisy depending on your perspective/quality of headphones. There was also a dog in the studio before we went on air, which has now raised all kinds of questions that we need to ask of the people at Renaissance.
This week's Super-Special Guest is - dilly ding dilly dong - Becky Jowsey from Gamehub. And also from Leicester, which hopefully means that the dilly ding dilly dong reference now makes sense. Becky's taken on the incredibly easy task to explain videogames to parents who know nothing about them. This has involved playing lots of games for very long periods of time, with over 150 data points needing to be investigated for each game. The times when you just needed to know graphics, sound, playability and lastability are a long time ago. Becky also tells us why she thinks some parents choose to ignore the age rating system that's already in place.
Sega Badawi dropped some local news and an old contributor made a welcome return. In addition, we all got new chairs except for Simon, which was probably because we all knew he'd get Amiga Power's score for International Rugby Challenge incorrect (it's two percent AS ANY FULE KNO). Oh and you got to find out our superhero origin stories.

A Dream of Wings
Americans and the Airplane, 1875-1905
Tom D. Crouch (Author)
The story of the talented American engineers and adventurers who labored to conquer gravity in a flying machine.
When Orville and Wilbur Wright soared over Kill Devil Hills in North Carolina's outer banks and solved the problem of aerial navigation, they wrote the last chapter in a long story. For decades prior, a small community of engineers, scientists, and dreamers—men named Chanute and Langley and Herring—had tried to make the ascent in every conceivable craft, from kites and gliders to an assortment of powered flying models.
These imaginative people and their wonderful contraptions are brought to life in Tom Crouch's classic A Dream of Wings. In the quest for flight, aeronautical societies were formed and broke apart, successes were celebrated, hopes rose and fell, and lessons were learned and built upon. The dreamers who blazed the path to a flying machine are bravely realized in these delightful pages.

Budget must not increase inequality - Transcript, CNBC
Posted by Andrew Leigh 56sc on October 06, 2020
TV INTERVIEW
SUBJECTS: JobKeeper and the risks of increasing inequality; Labor's plan for an Australian Centre for Disease Control; the need to invest in education; proposed tax cuts; competition in Australia.
WILL KOULOURIS, HOST: Firstly, in terms of what we've seen from the government in terms of the COVID-19 response - and I suppose from a bipartisan perspective - what do you think that they've gotten right so far?
ANDREW LEIGH, SHADOW ASSISTANT MINISTER FOR TREASURY AND CHARITIES: Australia's put in place a wage subsidy scheme, which we call JobKeeper, in common with many other countries. It was something the Australian Government was initially hesitant to do. The Labor Party, the business community and the union movement pushed strongly for that to be in place and that's generally regarded as being the most effective measure to reduce the job losses. But we're still in our first recession in a generation, and we came into this off the backs of fairly stagnant economic performance over recent years. Productivity going down, wage growth very slow, problems in retail. So Australia approaches this from a macroeconomic position of weakness rather than strength.
KOULOURIS: In terms of the wage subsidies, it's being touted that we are going to see them cessate from March. There have been a number of proposals that have been put forward, in terms of perhaps wage incentives for young people was released today. But in your mind, what do you think needs to be done? Do we need to extend them even longer, or does there need to be some kind of comprehensive reform in terms of industrial relations to really ensure that, you know, those most vulnerable aren't being left out to dry?
LEIGH: You're absolutely right to focus on the most vulnerable. They're the workers who've been unable to telework. Teleworking is easy for lawyers, not so easy for people who clean the offices of lawyers. And that's the most vulnerable Australians who have been hurt. So we need to make sure their interests are looked after. We also need to make sure as well as prioritising jobs, that we're prioritising education. Now this has been a human capital catastrophe in terms of both the health and the education impacts, and so investing in health measures would be vital. Labor has today proposed an Australian Centre for Disease Control. We're the only OECD country not to have one. And we've been calling on the government to do more to open up university places. So there's an awful lot that needs to be done to ensure that Australians earning or learning, rather than simply languishing on the unemployment line.
KOULOURIS: Another thing being proposed is bringing forward those tax cuts. I just wanted to get your take on whether this will be necessary, or whether you are in support of bringing forward not just only the stage two, but potentially stage three in some respect? Do you think that it has merit as a behavioural trigger, I suppose, in order to encourage people to spend? We've got this savings ratio right now sitting at just a shade under 20 per cent.
LEIGH: It's hard to see how giving tax cuts to people on $200,000 plus does anything for participation. I don't imagine there's many people who are choosing between welfare and work who'd otherwise be earning wages that high. It's also hard to see how that could be the best thing to do to stimulate the economy. Stimulus only works when it's actually spent, and we know that high income earners save that a quarter of what they earn. So that doesn't seem to Labor to be the best use of scarce resources at the moment, given that this is a massive borrowing spread. Yes, interest rates are low, but debt is also higher in dollar terms than it's ever been in Australian history.
KOULOURIS: So speaking of plans, I want to get your thoughts on the business investment allowances that also have been touted. Now I know that the corporate side would very much like to see 20 per cent write offs. But where do you sit? We've had the corporate tax debate here in Australia basically come up and go back out into the ether. But does there need to be further investment allowances given to businesses in this environment to encourage them to perhaps invest? Or does there need to be some other measure that's introduced?
LEIGH: That's a great question. Research out of Victoria University has shown that investment deductions have many times the impact on growth in the economy than a headline corporate tax cut has. And indeed, with the Trump tax cuts, one of the things that economists agree on is that the changes to investment allowances did have the effect of spurring the economy, unlike the cuts to the headline rate. So we're certainly open to that debate from the Labor Party standpoint. We took some of those policies to the election last year. But we want to make sure again that this is a well targeted measure from a government which has, unfortunately, had a number of poorly targeted measures. The Auditor General has pointed to the rorting of sports grants. Recently we had the revelation of a payment of some $30 million for a parcel of land near the airport that was worth $3 million: the beneficiary being a donor to the Liberal Party. So we do need to make sure right now when we're borrowing so much that the spending is of the highest quality.
KOULOURIS: Speaking of borrowing, we got from the government just a few short weeks ago, they've changed RLOs - the responsible lending obligations - putting the onus on the borrower as opposed to the lender. We just had the royal commission that concluded and the determinations from the Royal Commission back in 2019. Obviously, this is to shore up credit supply. It was a big problem pre COVID. But do you think that because of all the issues, that the liar loans even that we saw during the Royal Commission, that this is the wrong move, the wrong way in which to encourage more credit?
LEIGH: The Royal Commission didn't recommend getting rid of Australia's responsible lending laws, which require banks to check the creditworthiness of applicants. It's difficult for me to see that an explosion of irresponsible lending is really what the Australian economy needs right now. We're an economy which has one of the highest household debt levels in the world, and the real problems in the new business startup have to do with productivity constraints such as competition, such as the willingness to innovate, such as having the right infrastructure and skills available. I think it would be much better if the government focused on those drivers of productivity, rather than thinking that just encouraging irresponsible lending would somehow lead to a long term surge in economy.
KOULOURIS: And we're seeing a lot of borrowing from the government as well. We're looking at, you know, incredibly large deficits. But at the same time, all of this stimulus is perhaps getting injected in. But are you worried that - obviously now, a lot of that is flowing through to the vulnerable people, but perhaps maybe in long term that there could be the risk that we're just creating a situation where it leads to incredibly inequitable outcomes? Because those that have are going to be able to borrow more, are going to be able to take advantage, while those that don't are just going to be left by the wayside?
LEIGH: Yes, we've already seen warnings that inequality could rise, one report suggesting that inequality would go up in the order of one and a half Gini points as a result of the pandemic. And if we're seeing a situation in which large firms are purchasing more small firms, then that market consolidation could worsen inequality still further. So I think we need a human capital focussed budget, given that the hit has been on the human capital side. And we also need to ensure that our competition laws aren't simply allowing the whales to snap up the minnows, taking advantage of the current economic circumstances, taking advantage of the fact that larger firms have the cash on their books to be able to further consolidate what are already pretty concentrated markets in Australia.
KOULOURIS: Thank you so much for your time. I really do appreciate the chat as always.
LEIGH: Pleasure.

Birds of prey use their keen eyesight, curving beaks and strong talons to hunt living prey. Also known as raptors, they include species such as eagles, falcons, hawks, harriers and owls. A good tip to identify a bird as a raptor is to look at its wingtips in flight, as the feathers are often divided into 'fingers'.
Here are 10 raptors that call South Australia home and where you can go to see them.
Wedge-tailed eagles are Australia's largest birds of prey, with a massive wingspan of between 1.8 and 2.3 metres. The females are larger than the males and both sexes start off as a light reddish brown, darkening with age to almost black. They are easily identified in flight by their distinctive tails, which flare out before tapering to a point at the middle. Wedge-tails are primarily hunters, but they will also eat carrion, so you may see one up close as it cleans up roadkill on a rural road.
Where to see them: Gawler Ranges National Park, Ikara-Flinders Ranges National Park and Para Wirra Conservation Park.
At the other end of the scale are Nankeen kestrels, one of the smallest Australian raptors at just 30 centimetres long. They have a slender build, with light reddish wings, backs and heads, and pale bellies. Kestrels can hover almost motionless in open spaces like fields or grasslands to catch small creatures such as mice and lizards.
Where to see them: Cobbler Creek Recreation Park and Hallett Cove Conservation Park.
Known for their speed, peregrine falcons are the fastest animals on the planet and have been recorded diving vertically at more than 300 kilometres an hour – so fast, in fact, that they can make a sound like a jet during a dive. This incredible speed also makes them very difficult to see, as even when flying normally while hunting they can reach 100 kilometres an hour.
The females are larger than the males, with a body about the same size as a raven and a wingspan of up to 1.2 metres. Both sexes have dark grey-brown wings, backs and hoods, pale bellies marked with brown bars, and yellow beaks. Peregrines are extremely adaptable, and are often found living in the suburbs and even cities, nesting on the ledges of tall buildings and feeding on feral pigeons.
Where to see them: Near the Devil's Nose Lookout at Para Wirra Conservation Park, Morialta Conservation Park, and the cliffs of Murray River National Park and Morgan Conservation Park.
With their pale grey wings, white heads and bellies, black shoulders and dark red eyes, black-shouldered kites are striking birds that are hard to mistake for any other raptor. They are small, only a little larger than nankeen kestrels, and also hover over open grassland as they hunt for small mammals like mice.
Where to see them: Cobbler Creek Recreation Park and Innes National Park.
Brown goshawks are similar in size to peregrine falcons, with the females larger than the males. They have dark grey wings, bellies that are barred in cream and reddish-brown with reddish-brown collars. They feed mainly on small mammals like rabbits and are common around bushland.
Where to see them: Cleland Conservation Park and Deep Creek Conservation Park, though they are common throughout the northern Adelaide Plains, Adelaide Hills and Fleurieu Peninsula.
Swamp harriers are large, mostly-brown raptors that are easy to identify thanks to their long tails and the stripe of white on their rumps. The females are larger than the males, with a wingspan of up to 1.4 metres. Harriers are migratory, spending the warmer months of the year in Tasmania and winter on the mainland. They hunt quite low to the ground, and their diet consists mostly of ground-dwelling birds, waterbirds, and small mammals like rabbits.
Where to see them: Wetlands are ideal. Try Coorong National Park, Murray River National Park and Chowilla Game Reserve.
With a wingspan of up to 2.2 metres, white-bellied sea eagles are nearly as big as wedge-tails, and even have a similar-shaped tail, but that's where the resemblance ends. True to their names, the adults have white underparts, with grey wings and a powerful hooked beak. Young sea eagles are pale grey and do not develop their full adult plumage until they are five or six years old. They are coastal raptors and feed mostly on fish caught from the sea or rivers mid-flight.
Where to see them: Flinders Chase National Park and Lincoln National Park.
Like white-bellied sea eagles, eastern ospreys are coastal raptors and feed almost exclusively on fish. Smaller than the sea eagles, they have straight tails, grey underparts and dark brown wings and backs, with dappled brown chest feathers and a narrow brown mask running back from the eye. Ospreys tend to breed on clifftops, or other high points such as power posts or light towers, in large nests that are used year after year. They can be difficult to spot when they are hunting, as they skim low over the water.
Where to see them: Coffin Bay National Park and Innes National Park.
Barn owls have a wing-span of about 90 centimetres and are easily identified by their white, heart-shaped faces. They have white bellies, light brown wings and backs, and do not have ear tufts. Barn owls are found all over South Australia, including the Adelaide metropolitan area. They are nocturnal and hunt for small creatures by sound rather than sight. Rats and mice make up a big part of their diet, so remember that putting out rat poison can have the unintended side effect of killing your local owls. Don't expect to hear a barn owl make the classic 'hoo-hoo' call, though: they have a long, screeching call.
Where to see them: Innes National Park, Venus Bay Conservation Park and Kaiserstuhl Conservation Park.
Also known as the mopoke or morepork because of its distinctive call, the boobook is a small, mostly brown owl with distinct round patches around its eyes and a rounded head with no ear tufts. Boobooks are the most common Australian owls and are found in bushland, on the coast and throughout the Adelaide metropolitan area. Like barn owls, they hunt at night, specialising in small mammals and insects, but they may also be seen out in the late afternoon or early morning.
Where to see them: Para Wirra Conservation Park and Morialta Conservation Park.
Where else can I birdwatch in Adelaide?
Want to see all these raptor species and more in the one park? The Adelaide International Bird Sanctuary stretches along 60km of coastline north of Adelaide and is home to 14 species – more than half of the raptors found in Australia.
Many birds of prey can be seen hunting on the roadsides in the bird sanctuary, and the wetlands around Thompsons Beach, Port Prime and Light Beach are hotspots for species such as kites, harriers and falcons.
Barker Inlet and St Kilda are good places to look for white-bellied sea eagles, and if you're on the water between Port Adelaide and Port Parham, keep an eye out for ospreys perched on the marker beacons.

A British investigation centered on the helicopter of the late Thai billionaire Vichai Srivaddhanprabha, reports that his helicopter had spun and lost control only moments after clearing the stadium's roof.
The investigation found that the blue and white helicopter was used for most home matches as Vichai would always land and take off from the centre.
The report indicates that a castellated nut securing the control shaft to the helicopters tail rotor had became disconnected, rendering the pilot's control of the helicopter useless which caused the system to fail. The chopper had already completed four successful flights on October 27 before its last ill-fated attempt.
The shocking incident left Leicester in mourning, as Vichai had become a local legend, as it was during his ownership that the small football team took the English Premiership by storm securing their first and only championship.
Britain's Air Accident Investigation Branch (AAIB) is further probing and prioritising the cause of the disconnected pedals.
In Europe aviation safety authorities have found no other problem to date among all other helicopters of the same model, following their orders of mandatory checks.

The hits keep on coming today for The Young and the Restless. First, soap vet Doug Davidson informally announced he'd been fired from the CBS Daytime show, and now another veteran actor, Eric Braeden (Victor Newman), announced he's taking a month off the show.
According to a TV Insider report, Breaden is spending the whole month of September in Germany. He's portrayed Victor since the character arrived in Genoa City in 1980. Despite the news of so many Y&R actors leaving lately, Braeden isn't part of the mass exodus.
The soap vet also expressed his sadness at Eileen Davidson (Ashley Abbott) leaving the show. He said that Eileen is an exciting and real actress, and he regrets that Ashley and Victor didn't have more scenes together over the last several years on Y&R.
The news of Braeden's extended break from his character of Victor Newman in Genoa City came shortly after the 40-year veteran of the show, Doug Davidson, who portrays Paul Williams, announced on Twitter that he appears to have been fired, according to an Inquisitr report. While no official announcement came from CBS or Sony, it seems as if Doug will not move forward with the show's new direction, and he admitted that he's heartbroken after so many years of service.
Of course, fans expressed their disbelief, outrage, and support for the actor who's been such a significant part of the canvas for so long, and Doug thanked them for their words. This past year so many people have exited Y&R including Elizabeth Hendrickson (Chloe), Melissa Claire Egan (Chelsea), Greg Rikaart (Kevin), and Mishael Morgan (Hilary). Plus, Lily Ashby actress Christel Khalil recently announced her surprising move to recurring status, and the storyline already put her in prison for a year, which gives Khalil the time to explore new things.

"If I had an hour to solve a problem and my life depended on the solution," Einstein said, "I would spend the first 55 minutes determining the proper question to ask, for once I know the proper question, I could solve the problem in less than five minutes."
Questions and their solutions are the basis of all learning. A good question generates energy and invites exploration. It elevates a commonplace lesson to one that's holy, creating a moment a student remembers years later as an epiphany that cracked open the universe.
Both students and teachers can feel daunted at the idea of setting an energetic question loose in the room; the best ones won't be corraled by a single correct answer. The mania from standardized testing has grown a fear of not covering material rapidly enough. Questions invite depth, and depth takes time.
Students have their own fears. Jere Brophy (2004) categorizes them in four ways: those whose abilities make it difficult to keep up and who have developed low expectations; those experiencing learned helplessness; those who are obsessed with self-worth protection; and those who underachieve in order to avoid responsibilities.
1. Provide sufficient wait time. Most teachers wait only one second for an answer. A wait of at least five seconds is recommended, but even longer is preferable for higher-order questions. The quality of answers will be better, also. Count the seconds slowly and silently to yourself until you are in the habit of waiting long enough. Also, before you pose a question, tell students to anticipate silence for thinking until you ask for the answer.
2. Model how to answer. While building your initial relationship with students and teaching the procedures of your classroom, don't forget how to model answering questions. Don't take for granted that they understand your expectations of what makes for a detailed, thoughtful answer. For example, a student might respond "Yes" to the question, "Is Hamlet's reaction to his mother's remarriage reasonable?" Although you want students to take a position on this topic, you also want them to back their claim with evidence. By modeling a response like, "Hamlet's reaction is reasonable because little time has passed since his father's death," you set an expectation that any answer will come with at least one supporting reason.
3. Keep higher-order question stems posted for easy access during discussions. Here is a helpful list of question stems (PDF), sorted from low to high levels on Bloom's Taxonomy of Learning. Ask students to keep a copy ready in their binders, or distribute laminated copies during discussions.
4. Don't accept easy answers. Challenge students to go deeper by posing your own question to their response or asking more questions to elicit their elaboration. The simplest tool is to ask "Why?" and follow it with another "Why?" If the learner's argument is, "We have a reason to fear Ebola outbreak in our country," asking why makes the student consider the source of his belief. Repeating "Why?" forces him to question the validity of his belief, and perhaps arrive at a different conclusion. Asking, "How do you know you're correct?" is another method for bringing depth to casual answers.
5. Don't accept, "I don't know." Many students have learned, "I don't know," is a way of disengaging and getting off the hot seat. Tell such a responder you want him to listen to the next two students, and you'll be back for his opinion after he's heard other responses. If he still says he doesn't know, ask him to repeat what he just heard the other two students say.
6. Make sure all students expect to participate in discussions. I use names on Popsicle sticks pulled from a cup to make sure everyone participates. Checking names on a roster also works. If students know their turn will come, they aren't tempted to consider questions a chance to check out while a select few with raised hands run the show.
7. Teach students to be the author of questions. Asking good questions is an acquired skill. Use the Question Formulation Technique or another research-based approach to explicitly teach your students the process of creating good questions.
The next time you hesitate to "waste time" setting off a class discussion, remember Einstein's 55 minutes. Practicing purposeful questioning engages students and teachers in the dialogue of learning.

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has begun a $6.4 million pavement overlay project sections of FM 157 (Cooper and Collins streets), and SH 180 (Division Street) in the City of Arlington. This project will remove existing pavement, repair the roadway, and lay a new asphalt road surface.
To minimize the impact of traffic delays, TxDOT will utilize two paving crews. One crew will work on Division Street between Fielder Road and SH 360, while another crew is assigned to Collins Street. Once work on Collins Street has been completed, the crew will move to Cooper Street near the University of Texas at Arlington. The second paving crew will work on Division Street from Fielder Road to SH 360.
All paving activities will be restricted to 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. Sunday through Thursday; however, single lane closures will be permitted for miscellaneous preparation activities between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Work is anticipated to be completed by the end of this year and will improve seven miles of Arlington roadways.
Information about this and other TxDOT construction project is available on TxDOT's Fort Worth District webpage.


This is The Substream's "The Film Lab" series on lighting basics. This episode covers Rembrandt Lighting.
Mike and Rajo teach you how to light like an old dead Dutch dude (who was really good at lighting dudes, to be fair).
This is a common drama lighting. This is Rembrandt Van Rijn who was known for using soft lighting. This adds soft shadows.
In cinematography Rembrandt lighting is defined by lighting that creates a triangle underneath one of your subjects eyes. It is everywhere. It looks good on most people. Shadows or the chiaroscuro will help with modeling.
You can do it with one light (key light) naked up to the right. Add a bounce and you can make it work. The 2nd light (fill light) can destroy the depth. You need a diffusion and neutral density gels to reduce the intensity of the fill light.
