Q: SwiftUI - Updating a Page View Controller with a new page I'm building a weather app that is hosted on a public repo here.
The most important files for this issue are the PageView and the RepresentedPageViewController.
I've created a UIPageViewController that interfaces with SwiftUI via UIViewControllerRepresentable. It allows a user to swipe through different cities and see each city's weather data, much like Apple's Weather app. When the makeUIViewController method of my page view controller is called I set its view controllers (there are 3 in this case to begin with, where each represents a city):
pageViewController.setViewControllers([controllers[0]],
                                          direction: .forward,
                                          animated: false)

This works fine and I'm able to navigate (swipe) between the different pages.
In the app's search menu, a user can then tap on a new city that they want to get the weather for. This adds the new city to the app's datasource of cities that the page view controller uses to create a page for each city.
Because the data object that holds the cities is stateful, the UI is recomputed when that object is set (when a user adds a new city). This triggers the updateUIViewController method in the page view controller. In this method, I reset the page view controller's viewcontrollers (there are now 4 because the user has added a new city):
func updateUIViewController(_ uiViewController: UIPageViewController, context: UIViewControllerRepresentableContext<RepresentedPageViewController>) {

    // Check that the view controllers of the page view controller need to be reset.
    // This is true when a user has added a new city because we'll create a new
    // view controller to be added to the page view controller. We perform this check because
    // we don't want to reset the viewcontrollers in all cases where the updateUIViewController method is called.
    if shouldResetControllers {
        uiViewController.setViewControllers([controllers[0]],
                                            direction: .forward,
                                            animated: false)
        shouldResetControllers = false
    }
}

My issue is that once this is done, the user is only able to see the first city of the viewcontrollers. The page view controller is still there because the user is still able to swipe, but there is only one city (the first one). I've created a screen recording of the result which you can view here.

A: think the problem stays in the Coordinator:
when you update controllers in pageviewcontroller, the parent property of Coordinator remains the same (and because it is a struct, all his properties). So you can simply add this line of code in your updateUIViewController method:
context.coordinator.parent = self

also, remember that animation of pageViewController.setViewControllers will occur, so you have to set animated to false, or handle it properly.
There are many other ways to solve this (I wrote the most intuitive solution),
the important thing is to know where the error comes from.

A: It seems like this is a SwiftUI bug. I had a similar problem where a UI update would reload the PageViewController with a single ViewController.
Adding an id to the PageViewController, described in "Updating an @Environment to pass data to PageViewController in SwiftUI results in loss of swiping between ViewControllers", seems to work.

HPE worked with Gethin in order to promote a positive image with the UK justice sector and make a new connections in a rapidly evolving market. In partnership with Gethin we hosted an event at our offices in central London, which focused on the topic of prisoner rehabilitation. The event was not technology focused but more about understanding how a rehabilitation process can be approved and enhanced across a number of areas, including technology and innovation
Gethin worked tirelessly to attract the necessary speakers as well as using all of his contacts to drive up attendance, and provided regular updates over a four month period leading up to the event. The event itself was extremely successful in every aspect. It has helped HPE to raise a positive profile in in important sector and build new and lasting relationships with key individuals.
The feedback we have received from everyone that attended was very positive with the highlight being Gethin's presentation. Gethin's life story is one that will leave you shocked but ultimately inspired, and motivated. The lessons learned can be used in both life coaching and success in business It has been a pleasure working with Gethin!
Hayley Taylor (Nationwide Building Society)
Engagement & Events Manager
We approached Gethin after a recommendation from a colleague, who saw him speak to a group who appeared disengaged by other speakers but captivated by Gethin's authentic and genuine personality.
The brief was met perfectly. The main purpose of including a motivational speaker in our event was to inspire our Social Investment Champions/Ambassadors and to help them understand the importance of storytelling, which would then increase colleague engagement and involvement across Nationwide.
The Keynote and breakout workshops were engaging and inspiring. Following Gethin's introductory session we asked our colleagues, 'How did Gethin's story make you feel in one word?, and in response, some words used were 'inspired', 'motivated', 'emotional', 'powerful', 'encouraged' and 'brave'. In our post event survey, Gethin's breakout session was voted the top session of the day and colleague responses absolutely mirrored this:
'I liked how honest Gethin was about his past. It was inspiring to see how his self-belief, drive and perseverance turned a very negative situation, in to a positive one that he is using to influence others.'
'I was totally inspired by his talk with us especially how volunteers can have such an impact. I have since read his book, he is open, honest and would recommend everyone to read it.'
And many of the answers when asked 'What is the first thing you will do because of Social Investment Live' said: 'Share my story (and other stories)' with one person stating they now felt brave enough to open up and tell their story to inspire others.

The Thomas Fogarty 2010 Santa Cruz Mountains Chardonnay was produced from the winery's Estate vineyards: the Winery Estate and Gist Ranch. While the Winery Estate fruit provided the base of the blend and defines the wine's bright, cool-climate character (think citrus and mineral elements), the warmer Gist Ranch to the south lends more depth of fruit and weight to the finished wine.
All in all, the stunning Thomas Fogarty 2010 Santa Cruz Mountains Chardonnay is very atypical for a California Chardonnay in it ability to be both rich and light on its feet. It is a wine with balance and depth, without being over the top. Flavors of Meyer lemon, white flowers, bees wax, and minerality are bright and focused on the palate with subtle hints of spice and honey. The Thomas Fogarty 2010 Santa Cruz Mountains Chardonnay impresses for its balance and pure class and offers a delicious freshness from start to finish.

Video: Draymond Green had cool gesture for Klay Thompson amid Warriors return
by Darryn Albert
Nothing was going to stop Draymond Green from being on the floor to honor Klay Thompson during Thompson's long-awaited return.
The Golden State Warriors star Thompson returned for the team against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday after missing over two-and-a-half years with injury. Unfortunately for Green, he was a late scratch for the contest after experiencing left calf tightness during pregame warmups.
As a symbolic gesture for Thompson, Green suited up for the opening tip and officially got the start alongside his longtime teammate. Green then committed an intentional foul to sit out for the rest of the game. He was replaced by Juan Toscano-Anderson.
Take a look at the video.
Wow, respect to Draymond Green to ruins his per game average by playing 1 second this game just to honor Klay Thompson! pic.twitter.com/hRc6xEEMTz
— Per Sources (@PerSources) January 10, 2022
Green has been teammates with Thompson since being drafted in 2012, and they have won three titles together. Since Green technically played Sunday, he will go down as having recorded all zeroes, which will hurt his per-game averages. That makes his gesture for Thompson here a very selfless one.
Fortunately for Green, he got quite the show as he watched the rest of the game from the sidelines in warmup gear. Less than a minute after Green checked out, Thompson connected on his very first shot attempt, hitting a layup in traffic to the roars of the home crowd.
KLAY THOMPSON KNOCKS DOWN HIS FIRST SHOT ATTEMPT IN OVER 2 YEARS! pic.twitter.com/Lwc3pIpm2J
It is definitely good to have Thompson back after such a long absence. As for Green, this is probably the least that he could have done for his teammate considering how dirty he did Thompson when Thompson first got hurt.

Lawmakers who voted "no" to criminalize squatting change their minds
By: Eric Ross
Senators unanimously voted Thursday to approve a bill aimed at protecting homeowners from squatters.
This was the second hearing for Senate Bill 15 which was drafted as a result of a series of News 5 investigations.
It barely passed during its first hearing Monday with a 3-2 vote.
Sen. Rhonda Fields (D-Aurora) and Sen. Dan Kagan (D-Aurora) initially voted "no".
Sen. Bob Gardner (R-Colorado Springs) asked, "Are we going to protect homeowners in Colorado or are we going to protect home invaders? I was amazed in committee there were those who sided with home invaders but I don't think that's going to be the case moving forward."
In a second hearing Thursday morning, both Fields and Kagan changed their votes.
"I was a 'no vote' in committee based on the concerns that were raised by the district attorney's council but with the amendments, I now have a 'yes' vote," Fields explained.
The Colorado District Attorneys' Council testified earlier this week to voice concerns over language defining how to prosecute squatters who damage or destroy property.
Sen. Gardner has promised to clarify the language through amendments that will be placed into his bill before the third hearing. He presented the amendments during Thursday's hearing.
You can read the original bill here and the changes by clicking on this link .
If SB 15 passes, law enforcement would be able to immediately remove squatters from your home without an eviction.
As we've reported, evictions can take months based on court case loads.
"This bill seeks to have a quick process in order to get possession of your home," Kagan said.
That's a concern for Sen. Kagan. He worries squatters who identify themselves as tenants won't be allowed due-process in court before being kicked out. He's also worried about management/landlords using the law to incorrectly evict legal tenants over a civil dispute.
He would like to see language in the bill authorizing an emergency court hearing and give squatters 24-hours to vacate if the judge determines they have no legal occupancy rights. However, the court system is already overburdened with cases and Kagan ultimately decided to vote "yes" after seeing how innocent homeowners have been impacted by squatters.
"I'm looking forward to a good outcome because we all want to see parasitic squatters who invade our home gotten rid of," Kagan said.
A third hearing on SB 15 will take place Jan. 29.

Verity Firth is the Executive Director, Social Justice at UTS and leads the newly established Centre for Social Justice and Inclusion at the University of Technology, Sydney. She is currently spearheading the University's Social Impact Framework, a first of its kind in the Australian university sector.
The Centre for Social Justice and Inclusion exists to maximize the capacity of UTS to deliver public benefit through catalyzing and rewarding activities with social impact, connecting partners around social justice initiatives, fostering a diverse and inclusive culture at UTS, delivering strategic and collaborative programs across the university and leading and evaluating whole of institution strategies and systems.
The Centre acts as a gateway for UTS to respond to community need, building connections for community groups, not-for-profits and government agencies to access the university's resources and collaborate on social justice issues, including the Centre's Social Impact Lab.
The Centre manages the UTS Shopfront Community Program, which has operated for over 20 years supporting community engaged research and student coursework, alongside the SOUL student volunteering program.
The Centre houses the Equity and Diversity Unit of the university. It delivers the university's Widening Participation Strategy, involving extensive pre-access and aspiration building programs for low SES students, along with educational access schemes and training programs. The Centre supports a range of staff and student focused inclusion strategies an activities in areas including cultural diversity, disability, gender and sexual orientation and is responsible for the university's Equal Opportunity and Diversity Policy, and operates a grievance handling service for staff and students reporting cases of discrimination and harassment.
Verity Firth has over fifteen years' experience at the very highest levels of government and the not for profit sector in Australia. Over the last ten years, she has been working in the Australian education sector, first as Minister for Education and Training in New South Wales (2008-2011) and then as the Chief Executive of the Public Education Foundation. As Minister for Education and Training she focussed on equity in education, and how to best address educational disadvantage in low socio economic communities, including rural and remote indigenous communities.
As NSW Minister for Women (2007-2009) Ms Firth implemented sector wide strategies to improve women's recruitment, development and employment in the NSW public sector. As Chief Executive of the Public Education Foundation (2011-2014), Ms Firth led the Foundation's transformation from a fledgling organisation into a major provider of scholarships and support to public education. She also helped the sector negotiate $5 million in seed funding for a new charity for disadvantaged schools. Ms Firth was the Member for the state seat of Balmain from 2007 - 2011. Before her parliamentary career, Ms Firth worked as a lawyer and was Deputy Lord Mayor of the City of Sydney.

The relationship between education and public purpose has been historical and remains fundamental to the core mission of the higher education sector. Alongside the growth of engaged scholarship and practice, increasing and, at times, competing forces work to influence institutional focus and direction. Key amongst these are global university ranking systems, which have begun to shift their gaze beyond traditional notions of academic excellence to also consider impact and engagement. The tension between external and internal drivers for social engagement can fragment institutional focus and undermine community impact. In the face of this challenge, holistic institutional frameworks that systemically and culturally underpin, enable and make inherent engaged scholarship remain scarce. Their absence risks marginalising engaged university practice, teaching and research, thereby limiting the potential impact of universities.
This article aims to address this gap in the literature by examining the question of how universities can create a whole-of-institution approach to their public purpose agenda. Using the University of Technology Sydney as a case, the development of the UTS Social Impact Framework is shared here. We detail the use of Appreciative Inquiry and Theory of Change as underpinning participatory methodologies that have resulted in a systems approach to change, based on institutional strengths. The resulting framework articulates a shared vision and outlines a guiding roadmap encompassing six domains of change, expressed as outcomes, and an additional three preconditions. Woven together, these create a robust image of the systemic and cultural dynamics needed to realise the shared vision of the university, ensuring that contribution to social outcomes remains a core mission of this higher education institution. The adopted approach used in this study can inform the development of contextually relevant frameworks across the sector, with potential to reposi...

Kadyrov: Pro-Western generals want Erdogan out for his foreign policy changes
The attempt at a military coup in Turkey might be the result of certain groups among the Turkish elite's desire to punish Erdogan for pursuing independent policies. Such an opinion was expressed by the head of the Chechen Republic, Ramzan Kadyrov.
"Despite all the ambiguity in Erdogan's behavior, he still to a certain extent began to pursue policies more independent from the West in evaluating processes ongoing in the region. It is possible that pro-Western generals don't like this," Kadyrov believes.
The Chechen leader pointed to how "Turkish generals have become accustomed to interfering in politics and dictating domestic and foreign policy course to the country's leadership."
"Every such attempt has come from military men oriented towards the West," he added.
Kadyrov emphasized that Turko-Russian relations have begun to level out.
"Turkey is our closest neighbor, a country with which we have close economic, cultural, and humanitarian ties. Recently, thanks to the consistent, solid, and well-calibrated policy pursued by Russian President Vladimir Putin, the current trend is further strengthening of business and other ties with Turkey," the head of Chechnya said.
"We have lived through many revolutions. We know by our own experience that any military coup leads to serious consequences. We wish the brotherly people of Turkey a quick restoration of peace and stability," Kadyrov added.

Among the most lasting accomplishments of the Byzantine emperor Justinian I (527–565 c.e.) was his comprehensive compilation and organization of Roman law.
The emperor believed that law was as essential to the security of the empire as military power. His legal achievement (like his martial effort) was an attempt to ensure the power and legacy of his reign.
Justinian selected and changed a commission, which included Tribonian, the day's greatest legal mind, with the task of organizing the past and present laws of the empire.
In 529 the commission completed its work, the Code, which arranged centuries of imperial legislation, removing that which was no longer needed. This code was revised and updated in 534. Copies were distributed throughout the empire, and only laws that were recorded in it were valid in the empire's courts.
After this Justinian entrusted Tribonian and his commission with the task of compiling, editing, and organizing past legal decisions or commentaries on the laws. This work, known as the Digest, was completed in 533. It was divided into 50 books, by subject headings for easy reference.
Justinian further entrusted Tribonian with the publication (534) of an official legal textbook, the Institutes, for the training of lawyers. These three parts—along with a fourth part consisting of Justinian's new laws called Novels (meaning new laws)—all written in Latin, became known as the Corpus Juris Civilis , or Body of Civil Law.
This work had a profound effect on future legal procedure. The Corpus influenced Byzantine law down to 1453, when the Byzantine Empire fell to the Ottoman Turks. The Corpus largely influenced Byzantium through a later Greek legal compilation known as the Basilika (ninth century).
In the West, Roman law was diminished by the transition to Germanic rule during the early Middle Ages. In the 11th century, however, legal scholars at the University of Bologna in Italy revived the study of Justinian's Corpus.
In the 12th century this study led Gratian, a Bolognese monk, to create a systematic organization of canon law (church laws) called the Decretum. This study also gave birth to secular legal developments in western Europe. The Code of Justinian still heavily influences many European legal systems.

Q: Plugin architecture - Plugin Manager vs inspecting from plugins import * I'm currently writing an application which allows the user to extend it via a 'plugin' type architecture.  They can write additional python classes based on a BaseClass object I provide, and these are loaded against various application signals.  The exact number and names of the classes loaded as plugins is unknown before the application is started, but are only loaded once at startup.
During my research into the best way to tackle this I've come up with two common solutions.
Option 1 - Roll your own using imp, pkgutil, etc.
See for instance, this answer or this one.
Option 2 - Use a plugin manager library
Randomly picking a couple

*

*straight.plugin

*yapsy

*this approach
My question is - on the proviso that the application must be restarted in order to load new plugins - is there any benefit of the above methods over something inspired from this SO answer and this one such as:
import inspect
import sys
import my_plugins

def predicate(c):
    # filter to classes
    return inspect.isclass(c)

def load_plugins():
    for name, obj in inspect.getmembers(sys.modules['my_plugins'], predicate):
        obj.register_signals()

Are there any disadvantages to this approach compared to the ones above? (other than all the plugins must be in the same file) Thanks!
EDIT
Comments request further information... the only additional thing I can think to add is that the plugins use the blinker library to provide signals that they subscribe to.  Each plugin may subscribe to different signals of different types and hence must have its own specific "register" method.

A: The metaclass approach is useful for this issue in Python < 3.6 (see @quasoft's answer for Python 3.6+).  It is very simple and acts automatically on any imported module.  In addition, complex logic can be applied to plugin registration with very little effort.  It requires:
The metaclass approach works like the following:
1) A custom PluginMount metaclass is defined which maintains a list of all plugins
2) A Plugin class is defined which sets PluginMount as its metaclass
3) When an object deriving from Plugin - for instance MyPlugin is imported, it triggers the __init__ method on the metaclass.  This registers the plugin and performs any application specific logic and event subscription.
Alternatively if you put the PluginMount.__init__ logic in PluginMount.__new__ it is called whenver a new instance of a Plugin derived class is created.
class PluginMount(type):
    """
    A plugin mount point derived from:
        http://martyalchin.com/2008/jan/10/simple-plugin-framework/
    Acts as a metaclass which creates anything inheriting from Plugin
    """

    def __init__(cls, name, bases, attrs):
        """Called when a Plugin derived class is imported"""

        if not hasattr(cls, 'plugins'):
            # Called when the metaclass is first instantiated
            cls.plugins = []
        else:
            # Called when a plugin class is imported
            cls.register_plugin(cls)

    def register_plugin(cls, plugin):
        """Add the plugin to the plugin list and perform any registration logic"""

        # create a plugin instance and store it
        # optionally you could just store the plugin class and lazily instantiate
        instance = plugin()

        # save the plugin reference
        cls.plugins.append(instance)

        # apply plugin logic - in this case connect the plugin to blinker signals
        # this must be defined in the derived class
        instance.register_signals()

Then a base plugin class which looks like:
class Plugin(object):
    """A plugin which must provide a register_signals() method"""
    __metaclass__ = PluginMount

Finally, an actual plugin class would look like the following:
class MyPlugin(Plugin):
    def register_signals(self):
        print "Class created and registering signals"

    def other_plugin_stuff(self):
        print "I can do other plugin stuff"

Plugins can be accessed from any python module that has imported Plugin:
for plugin in Plugin.plugins:
    plugin.other_plugin_stuff()

See the full working example

A: Since Python 3.6 a new class method __init_subclass__ is added, that is called on a base class, whenever a new subclass is created.
This method can further simplify the solution offered by will-hart above, by removing the metaclass.
The __init_subclass__ method was introduced with PEP 487: Simpler customization of class creation. The PEP comes with a minimal example for a plugin architecture:

It is now possible to customize subclass creation without using a
  metaclass. The new __init_subclass__ classmethod will be called on
  the base class whenever a new subclass is created:
class PluginBase:
    subclasses = []

    def __init_subclass__(cls, **kwargs):
        super().__init_subclass__(**kwargs)
        cls.subclasses.append(cls)

class Plugin1(PluginBase):
    pass

class Plugin2(PluginBase):
    pass

The PEP example above stores references to the classes in the Plugin.plugins field.
If you want to store instances of the plugin classes, you can use a structure like this:
class Plugin:
    """Base class for all plugins. Singleton instances of subclasses are created automatically and stored in Plugin.plugins class field."""
    plugins = []

    def __init_subclass__(cls, **kwargs):
        super().__init_subclass__(**kwargs)
        cls.plugins.append(cls())

class MyPlugin1(Plugin):
    def __init__(self):
        print("MyPlugin1 instance created")

    def do_work(self):
        print("Do something")

class MyPlugin2(Plugin):
    def __init__(self):
        print("MyPlugin2 instance created")

    def do_work(self):
        print("Do something else")

for plugin in Plugin.plugins:
    plugin.do_work()

which outputs:
MyPlugin1 instance created
MyPlugin2 instance created
Do something
Do something else

A: The approach from will-hart was the most useful one to me!
For i needed more control I wrapped the Plugin Base class in a function like:
def get_plugin_base(name='Plugin',
                       cls=object,
                       metaclass=PluginMount):

    def iter_func(self):
        for mod in self._models:
            yield mod

    bases = not isinstance(cls, tuple) and (cls,) or cls

    class_dict = dict(
        _models=None,
        session=None
    )

    class_dict['__iter__'] = iter_func

    return metaclass(name, bases, class_dict)

and then:
from plugin import get_plugin_base
Plugin = get_plugin_base()

This allows to add additional baseclasses or switching to another metaclass.

The Canadian Provost Corps
Canadian Web Equipment 1964 Pattern
And Associated Items
In the early 1960s a totally new design of load carrying equipment was developed in conjunction with the new combat uniform. The new equipment was designated Web Equipment, 1964 Pattern (WE'64). WE'64 employed plastic buckles and fittings with hook and loop (Velcro) fasteners and was designed to be simple to adjust and easy to decontaminate. The belt and braces were made of a heavy rot resistant OD Green cotton web material. Individual pouches were coated with a green plastic waterproofing, this tended to flake or peel off after some use. WE'64 was not widely issued to the Regular Force until 1966 - 67 and was not issued to the Reserves until the late 1970s.
WE'64 was superior to the 1951 pattern in ease of assembly and adjustment, but in most other respects was a failure and disliked by soldiers. Equipment tended to slide out of position on the belt, and over time the hook and loop fasteners lost their ability to remain secured.
The most obvious fault was the absence of magazine pouches, but this was a design failure. The concept of the combined Combat uniform and WE'64 was based on the premise that the infantry soldier would ride into battle in an Armoured Personnel Carrier and dismount to engage the enemy. Combat would require only weapons, ammunition, water and light rations. Additional clothing and personal gear required for living in the field would be carried in the APC. This concept also assumed that the soldier would not be required to march long distances on foot or carry heavy loads. Magazines for the FN C1 rifle were intended to be carried in specially designed pockets on the Combat uniform. Magazines for the FN C2 light machinegun were carried in a 4 pocket "chest pack". There was no provision made for carrying magazines for the C1 submachinegun, they were to be simply stuffed into any available uniform pocket.
In the field, it was common to see belts held together with green guntape or metal keepers from the 1951 Pattern waistbelt. The "Y Strap" braces were thin and unpadded and dug into the shoulders. Some soldiers modified their web by replacing the Y Strap with American M1956 or M1967 load bearing suspenders.
The WE'64 set employed by Canadian MPs in the field normally consisted of a 2 1/4" (5.7 cm) wide waistbelt with green plastic buckle, supported by a "Y Strap" brace. The position of the equipment items on the belt in the field could vary according to individual preference or Unit Orders, however the bayonet was always worn over the left hip. In hot climates, two canteens were sometimes worn. In the early 1970s it was common practice to attach a First Field Dressing to the Y strap and occasionally a second dressing was taped to the waistbelt or worn under the helmet cover. Pistols were not normally carried in the field by MPs, the C1 submachinegun was the standard weapon. No magazine carriers were produced for the WE'64, rifle magazines were carried in purpose designed pockets in the Combat uniform. SMG magazines were carried either in the Combat pockets or in 1951 Pattern pouches attached to the web belt.

Canteen And Carrier

Plastic canteen.
A new version of aluminum canteen cup was issued, replacing the WE '51 canteen cup, but both patterns appear to have been used concurrently.
Mess Tins And Carrier
Messtin Carrier
Aluminum or steel mess tins of Second World War pattern were initially issued with WE'64 but were withdrawn in the late 1970s. The Mess Tin Carrier was retained and proved a convenient carrier for the OG 107 combat rain suit.
Grenade Pouch
The grenade pouch was similar in design to the mess tin carrier, but considerably smaller in size. Capacity was supposed to be two M26 or M67 (C13) fragmentation grenades but the fit was so tight that soldiers said that you could only fit one and one-half grenades into it. Five V40 "Mini Frag" grenades fit in the pouch quite nicely. Soldiers often used the pouch to carry the cleaning kit for the SMG. A velcro loop on the bottom of the grenade pouch was intended to carry the grenade launcher adapter for the FN C1 rifle.
Bayonet Frog and Bayonet
The Bayonet Frog was similar to the WE '51 pattern and the two were interchangable. The C1 bayonet was used on the Canadian made FN C1 and C2 rifles and on the C1 Submachinegun.
Pistol Holster
Similar in design to the WE '51 Browning Hi Power Holster, the WE '64 holster had a sleeve added next to the spare magazine pouch for the oil bottle.
Gas Mask And Carrier
The first pattern gas mask carrier had pockets for chemical agent detector paper, instructions and anti-dimming compound. It was a poor design as it could only be worn on the waistbelt. Later versions had sling attachments allowing it to be carried at all times.
Method of attaching the carrier to the waistbelt.
The C3 Series gas mask issued with the 1964 Pattern web had a side mounted filter cannister.
Binocular Case And Binoculars
Initially, the we51 Binocular case and binoculars were employed with the 1964 Pattern web set, but in 1974 a new pattern of binocular and case was adopted. 7500 ELCAN 7 x 50 binoculars were produced between 1974 and 1977. These excellent binoculars remained in service until 2001. The case was equipped with a shoulder strap and slung over the shoulder or around the neck. The case could also be attached to the waistbelt.

Compass Carrier and Compass
The WE '64 Compass Carrier was a new design accomodating (among other similar patterns) the Silva Type 15 (Ranger) Compass.
Entrenching Tool Carrier
A seldom seen piece of WE'64, the entrenching tool carrier. The entrenching tool from the 1951 Pattern Web was intended to be carried, but most soldiers never saw an entrenching tool after basic training. Full sized shovels and picks were normally used for digging.
FN C2 Magazine Chest Pack Carrier
Four 30 round magazines for the FN C2 light machinegun were carried in a 4 pocket "Chest Pack", which was commonly known by soldiers as the "C2 Mag Bra".
The C2 "Chest Pack" as normally worn. The soldier would obviously have some problem extracting the magazines when firing in the prone position.

Lydia Yakolevna Lipkowska (en ucraniano: Лідія Яківна Липковська; 10 de mayo de 1882-22 de marzo de 1956, Beirut) fue una soprano operística rusa-rumana de origen ucraniana. Es conocida por el papel de Violetta en la ópera titulada La traviata.

Biografía

Nació el 10 de mayo de 1882 en un pueblo llamado Babyn ubicado en el Óblast de Chernivtsí, Ucrania.

Estudio en el Conservatorio de San Petersburgo. Su debut en el Metropolitan Opera fue con el papel de Violetta Valéry en La Traviata el 18 de noviembre de 1909, en compañía de Enrico Caruso. Estuvo en el Teatro Mariinski entre 1906 y 1908, nuevamente de 1911 a 1913. Desde 1909, junto con una compañía con sede en Boston, realizó sus cantos de ópera en diferentes partes del mundo, como en París y Estados Unidos.

En 1912, acusó al gánster neoyorquino Sam Schepps de usura por negarse a devolverle dos diamantes valorados en 80000 dólares que ella había empeñado. Lipkowska dijo que le había pedido prestados 12 000 dólares a Schepps, que le había dejado los diamantes como garantía y que éste le pedía 5000 dólares de intereses antes de devolverle las joyas.

Edouard out, Dembele to start – Strongest 4-1-4-1 Celtic XI to face Partick Thistle
Predicted Celtic line-up to face Partick Thistle in the Scottish League Cup
Celtic will hope to bounce back from the damaging defeat in the Champions League qualifiers when they travel to Partick Thistle on Saturday for the Scottish League Cup.
The Bhoys will not play in the Champions League group stage for the first time during Brendan Rodgers' tenure after being dumped out by AEK Athens in Greece earlier this week.
Instead, Rodgers will lead Celtic into a Europa League play-off round meeting with Latvia's Spartaks Jurmala or Suduva Marijampole of Lithuania. But first, the Celtic boss will have all eyes on progressing to the third round of the Scottish League Cup on Saturday.
Rodgers is highly unlikely to include Dedryck Boyata in the cup clash after he missed the Champions League qualifier.
Odsonne Edouard missed the AEK Athens game due to an injury and how long will he remain out is not yet confirmed.
Meanwhile, Moussa Dembele came in as a substitute against AEK Athens and could be in contention to start the game on Saturday.
Probable Celtic XI
Manager: Brendan Rodgers
Craig Gordon (GK)
Craig Gordon is Celtic's No.1 in goal and that won't change when they face Partick Thistle on Saturday.
Cristian Gamboa (RB)
Lustig's form appears to have dipped considerably in the last few months and he was very poor against AEK Athens in the Champions League. Hence, there is no better time for Rodgers to drop Lustig and hand Gamboa a chance at right-back.
Kristoffer Ajer
Kristoffer Ajer (CB)
Ajer was badly missed in Greece as AEK Athens tormented the centre-back pairing of Jozo Simunovic and Jack Hendry. His return to the starting line-up on Saturday is inevitable.
Jozo Simunovic (CB)
Simunovic is currently running on borrowed time, with a series of erratic displays not helping his cause. It's high time he starts taking responsibilities and organises the defence well to stop Saturday's opponents.
Kieran Tierney (LB)
There are no doubts about Tierney's attacking abilities but he needs to improve his defensive side of the game if he is to become a complete full-back.
Scott Brown (CDM)
If Celtic are to advance to the next round of Scottish Cup, Brown's presence in the team will be crucial. After all, he is the skipper of the team.
Olivier Ntcham (RCM)
Ntcham likes to have plenty of the ball but he needs to be really penetrative with his passing.
Tom Rogic (LCM)
Rogic had a rare off day at Athens in the Champions League but will be buoyant to go all out against Partick Thistle.
Scott Sinclair (LW)
Sinclair was a bright spot in the defeat at the hands of AEK Athens, coming on as a substitute and scoring with an unerring header. His positive display in Greece could hand him a start at the weekend.
Callum McGregor (RW)
McGregor is the player who adds creativity and thrust to Celtic's attack. It will be important for him to have a good game if the Bhoys are to beat Partick Thistle.

Moussa Dembele (ST)
With Edouard out with an unspecific injury, Dembele could lead Celtic's attack. He added impetus to Celtic's attack after coming on as a substitute against AEK Athens.

Will the Bills go after Shockey?
The New Orleans Saints cut tight end Jeremy Shockey Tuesday after three lack luster years with the team.
So, the question is will the Buffalo Bills go after Shockey?
The Bills do have tight end Shawn Nelson on the roster, but Shockey will do is create more mismatches in coverage.
For example, the Bills could line up in a two wide receiver set with two tight ends and a single running back on first down and 10. A defense would just send out a base package with two cornerbacks and two safeties. The next part is on the quarterback to make the play successful.
From there you can motion the one tight end off the line of scrimmage in motion. This would reveal if the defense is in zone coverage or man to man. If it is zone the linebackers would just shift over while in man coverage the defender who is assigned to him will follow him.
At this point it is up to the quarterback to recognize what coverage the defense is in and where the matchups are.
What people need to take into consideration with Shockey is that he wasn't the first option on the Saint, nor the second. Those were wide receivers Marques Colston and Lance Moore while Shockey was the third.
In the end, with Shockey turning 31 in August signing him would be a worth while risk.


Taxi unions in Quebec have called for an indefinite strike to start from Monday, March 25, to denounce a new draft law regulating taxi services. Up to 100% of drivers could take part, meaning there may be no taxi services available in the province during the strike. Public transportation is expected to operate as normal.
Travelers are advised to seek alternative means of transportation and allow for extra time to reach their destinations.

It's starting to get out of hand. In one room, you have half of Toys 'R Us on toddler layaway. In the other, Legos and building blocks have formed a colorful no man's land. Then there are the car seats, strollers, hundreds of burp cloths, and a jumparoo that serves as a reminder that you didn't need a jumparoo. You may have accepted all of this as part of parenting, but world-renowned organization expert Peter Walsh says the war on stuff is not only winnable, it's essential to your family's wellbeing.
You've seen Walsh throwing out people's crap on TLC's Clean Sweep or may have thumbed through How to Organize (Just About) Everything or his latest, Let It Go: Downsizing Your Way To A Richer, Happier Life. So why does he devote his life to making less of a mess? "Again and again, I see that when you de-clutter a space, it creates a great sense of relaxation, calm, and focus," says Walsh. "You're just able to operate better." Here's why less is more.
Walsh doesn't see a pile of toys as a mountain of fun — he sees it as a pulsing sign of absence. He says busy often over-gift to make up for time away from home. "They have this emotion transfer with goods," he says. "If they buy kids things it must mean they love them." The suggestion is that a kid with too much toy love teaches them to value possessions over relationships. Next time you're at the airport, leave the snowglobe at the newsstand.
If Patrick Swayze taught you nothing in Roadhouse, it's that it's possible to rip a man's throat out with your bare hands. Also, it's a job that requires tough decisions. You need to treat the toy chest like a bouncer, with a strict one in, one out policy. "Before you have to get another toy, you have to get rid of a toy," says Walsh. Let your kid decide who's on the guest list. They can pick the toy to part with and donate it to a charity drive or goodwill store. "It teaches them to be generous citizens," he says. Just like Dalton!
Give Them Room To … Dance?
Like John C. Reilly kicking out aerobics moves in Stepbrothers, kids are overjoyed at having newfound room to move. "Every single time I've de-cluttered a space that children use, without exception when the children come back, they start to dance," he says. "It happens every single time." To be fair, there was a dance floor hiding underneath.
Walsh says that organization isn't a giant, once-a-spring activity. You don't need a bunch of contractor bags and the determination of a drill sergeant. He advises to start small and go steady. Just 10 minutes a day can make a huge difference. "If people are feeling overwhelmed, I recommend something called the trash bag tango," he says. It goes like this: For 10 minutes a day, carry a pair of trash bags around your home: one for trash and one for charity. Place items in the corresponding bag as necessary. Walsh says you'll see a difference after a week. After 2 weeks, you'll see your kid's bedroom again.
Rocking chair or glider. Crib or bassinet. Walsh says don't need half the baby stuff you think you do, and you certainly don't need the dozens of accessories you purchase to make life more convenient. Once Amazon starts delivering crap, the inertia that sets in is hard to stop.
But stop. The more stuff you have, the more time you spend searching to find that "convenient" device. And the time you just waste was the time you were supposed to save. "If your home is de-cluttered and organized, you can find things easily, you can get your kids dressed and get them out of the door," says Walsh. You can also find the door. Everybody wins!

Mortimer Jordan High School is a public high school located in Kimberly, Alabama. It is a part of the Jefferson County Board of Education.

The school was named after Captain Mortimer Harvie Jordan, a war hero who lost his life in World War I. He was a soldier, officer and physician. As commanding officer of Company K, 167th infantry, 42nd "Rainbow Division" Alabama Army National Guard, he was mortally wounded while leading his sector in battle. He died of his wounds in 1918 and is buried in Arlington National Cemetery.

Student profile
Enrollment in grades 9-12 for the 2012-13 school year is 757 students. Approximately 98% of students are White, 1% are African-American, and 1% are other races/ethnicities. Roughly 29% of students qualify for free or reduced price lunch.

MJHS has a graduation rate of 95%. Approximately 87% of its students meet or exceed proficiency standards in mathematics, while 92% meet or exceed standards in reading. The average ACT score for MJHS students is 24 and the average SAT composite is 1640.

Foundation
Mortimer Jordan High School opened its doors in the fall of 1920 at its original campus in Morris, Alabama with a mere ninety students enrolled. Two students, Ms. Sudie Counts Rogers and Ms. Eileen Jenkins Lovelady, graduated that year. The first principal, Ms. Minnie Holliman, and three female teachers completed the faculty. In 1928, a student, Ms. Mabel Creel graduated valedictorian at the age of 13. She was the youngest to graduate with such high honors.

Craig Kanaday is the seventh and current principal of MJHS.

Improvements
The original facility was located in Morris, with the property directly adjacent to the city limits of Kimberly. This site was occupied until the end of the 2010-11 school year.

The original building of five rooms soon became inadequate and a frame building of eight rooms was added. The first water system for the school was installed during the early 1930s. Alabama By-Product Corporation in Majestic donated the pump and water filter to the school using Turkey Creek as the water source. A teacher and some students installed the system, and water fountains were placed outside the building. Between the years of 1937 and 1941 indoor plumbing and restrooms were installed.

The "old gym" was built by the WPA during 1936 and 1937, around the same time the lunchroom program was established. The first Miss Mortimer Jordan, now Miss Torch, was elected in 1937. Stage curtains were purchased for the gym stage with the proceeds from the pageant.

During the early 1950s, a then up-to-date football and athletic field was constructed. Restrooms in the football stadium were added in 1962.

During the 1960s, Gardendale High School was established south of Morris in Gardendale.  Until that time, students in the Gardendale area attended Mortimer Jordan High School.  Gardendale based students were phased out in the mid-to-late 1960s.  MJ senior high school students from Gardendale were allowed to finish senior high school at Mortimer Jordan if they desired or could transfer to Gardendale.  Many chose to finish at MJ.  Buses to MJ ran routes through Gardendale for several years concurrent with buses to Gardendale until the phase out was completed in 1968-69.

In its last incarnation at the Morris site, the school consisted of a multi-complex that included two gymnasiums, academic classrooms, and a lunchroom. A music department (band and choir), homemaking department, business education department, and student counseling service were added.

A brand new Mortimer Jordan High School was built on Bone Dry Road, approximately four miles from the old site. It opened in the fall of 2011. The new site, one of a series of new high schools built during the period by the Jefferson County Schools, consists of classroom buildings, an athletics field house, and two fields for football, baseball and softball. A competition and a practice gymnasium, as well as greatly enlarged practice facilities for wrestling, are also included.

The original site in Morris was converted into the William E. Burkett Center for handicapped students; the W.E.B.C. moved from its original location near Fultondale to the original MJHS campus at the beginning of the 2012-13 school year.

Sports
The athletic department fields teams in football, volleyball, cross country, basketball, wrestling, baseball, softball, golf, soccer, tennis, and track and field. The softball team won the Alabama High School Athletic Association Class 5A State Championship in 2008 and 2009, setting a state record in 2009 for most consecutive games won. That streak carried over into the 2010 season, and ended at 59 games when Jordan lost to Angelo Rodriguez High School of Fairfield, California in the ESPN RISE/Nike Fastest to First Tournament in Huntington Beach, California on March 25, 2010. (The team later finished second in the 2010 5A championship, upset by Athens High twice on the final day.) Jordan also won the 2011 championship, only the fourth team in state history to win a title after losing their opening game in the double-elimination tournament. The softball program won its first state championship with the 1999 4A-5A title. It also has five second-place finishes. Mortimer Jordan also has one basketball state championship from 1928. The football program was the 5A runner-up in 2015, playing in its first AHSAA Super 7 appearance at Bryant–Denny Stadium.

Mortimer Jordan High School is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and the Alabama Department of Education.

Five plays that shaped the Cowboys' overtime loss to the Raiders
This Cowboys game was tough to watch for many reasons.

Well, that happened. The Cowboys made it three straight years of ruining fans' Thanksgiving holiday by losing 36-33 to the Raiders in overtime. Playing without Amari Cooper and CeeDee Lamb, the offense struggled for most of the day while the defense had to end each play by looking around to see if yet another flag was thrown.
The Raiders-Cowboys draw the Shawn Hochuli officiating crew today. Road teams are 8-2 with Hochuli this season. One of the two road losers was the Cowboys in the season opener at Tampa. The Hochuli crew has called the fourth most penalties of the NFL's 17 crews.

The Cowboys set a franchise record with 166 yards worth of penalties in this game, most of them coming against the defense. They were often back-breakers that extended drives for the Raiders. It shouldn't have been a surprise, considering the track record of this game's officiating crew, but the Cowboys still failed to get the job done. These five plays loomed especially large, and surprisingly they're not all penalties.
Keanu Neal's incredible fumble recovery gets called back
After the Cowboys went three-and-out to start the game, both teams quickly traded touchdowns, but a missed extra point had Dallas trailing 7-6. With the Raiders offense back on the field, Dan Quinn's unit was looking to make something happen.
Then they did. Derek Carr hit Darren Waller down the middle of the field and Jayron Kearse punched the ball loose. Officials let everything play out, which included Keanu Neal making an incredible heads-up play to toss the ball back to Kearse for a fumble recovery before it could roll out of bounds.

However, despite letting all of this play out without blowing a single whistle, the officials conferred and ruled the pass incomplete. The catch itself was so close that it seemed likely the ruling would stand regardless of what was called on the field, a likely motivator in Mike McCarthy not challenging this. It was a disappointing turn of events, as the Cowboys could have had the ball at the Las Vegas 44-yard line. Instead, it was the Raiders' ball.
DeSean Jackson's big catch sets up Raiders' go-ahead field goal
There were so many things that happened in this game, and nearly all of them were frustrating in one way or another, but given how close things got at the end we'll jump way forward. With just under three minutes left in the game, Dak Prescott engineered a magnificent drive that resulted in eight points and tied the game 30 all.
The Raiders got the ball back looking to just kill the clock. But on first down, Carr hit Lifelong Cowboys Killer DeSean Jackson for a massive 30-yard gain. Suddenly, Las Vegas went from their own 25 to the Dallas 45.
They only ran three more plays after this one, and failed to get a first down. But Jackson's big catch had already put them in field goal position, and Daniel Carlson drilled it from 56 yards out to give the Raiders a 33-30 lead.
Back to back incompletions to Dalton Schultz force a game-tying field goal
Once again, Prescott did the kind of thing he's done his whole career: come up big when he needs to. With just under two minutes left and two timeouts remaining, Prescott marched the Cowboys offense down the field with a dime to Michael Gallup doing much of the work. If not for what happens next, that play might be listed here instead.
Facing second and eight from the Las Vegas 27-yard line, Prescott tried to hit Dalton Schultz on a quick out route but it fell incomplete. The defender was all over Schultz, and the Cowboys seemed to expect a flag, but nothing. On third down, Prescott went Schultz's way again over the middle. This time, Schultz fell to the ground after contact with a defender, but still no flag.
At that point, with 19 seconds remaining and needing eight yards for a first down, McCarthy did what anyone would do and kicked the field goal to tie it. But if Prescott hits on either of those passes to Schultz, or if a pass interference flag gets thrown, it's a brand new set of downs and possibly a different outcome. Instead, Dallas has to play for overtime.
Dak Prescott misses Noah Brown on third down in overtime
So the Cowboys get to overtime and get the ball after winning the coin toss. All they need to do is rely on their quarterback - statistically one of the most reliable overtime quarterbacks ever - to carry them to victory.
Unfortunately, he came up short. A bad kick return and worse penalty started Dallas in bad position already, but they quickly brought up a third and four from their own 13-yard line. Prescott rolled out to his right and had a wide open Noah Brown past the sticks. But for whatever reason, one of the league's best at throwing on the move missed Brown, throwing low and behind him.
To be clear, Prescott's fourth quarter heroics were the only reason the Cowboys were in overtime to begin with. But this play was incredibly consequential, and he came up short on this play. Had the kickoff not put Dallas so far in its own territory, maybe they entertain a fourth down attempt, but McCarthy had no choice but to punt the back to the Raiders.
Anthony Brown's fourth pass interference penalty of the day seals the game for Las Vegas
As much as it hurt to give Las Vegas the ball with a mere field goal needed to win, the Dallas defense very nearly got it back for Prescott. An early 21-yard run by Josh Jacobs helped the Raiders, but back-to-back plays by Micah Parsons (including his franchise rookie record ninth sack) brought up third and 18.
That's when it happened. Carr launched a prayer to Zay Jones, who was being covered by Anthony Brown. The ball hit Brown in the back of the head, but flags flew and pass interference was called. Take another look:
This one decided it. Four pass interference calls against Anthony Brown today pic.twitter.com/FoJO5ks1b9
— Jon Machota (@jonmachota) November 26, 2021
This is always going to be called when the defender doesn't turn his head around, but the fact is that Brown's arms are outstretched and the receiver is initiating all of the contact. Keep in mind that Brown had been called for zero pass interference penalties all year long, but drew four such fouls in this one game.
We can yell and scream all we want about it, but the outcome was a spot foul that gave the Raiders 33 free yards and put them in easy field goal range. They eventually kicked that field goal, made the chip shot, and the game was over.

Cowboys lesson learned after 36-33 loss to Raiders: Focus on the NFC East
With latest loss, it's fair to wonder which direction the Cowboys season is headed


Are you ready when the boss calls you?
When the Eternal issues an order to present oneself we have to leave anything we are doing and respond to the call. Nowhere in the Torah is it mentioned that Moshe was busy dealing with something else when the Eternal called him and thus he made Him wait. In the very moment he received the calling he responded, leaving everything aside.
The same thing happened with Yehoshua. The Torah doesn't mention what Yehoshua was doing when Moshe called him to come before the Eternal. Nor does it say that he couldn't come or that he wasn't ready and came later. In the moment of the order there is an immediate response. That's the way the Eternal's faithful servants are; they don't delay their obedience.
When the Eternal orders you to do something, don't delay.

'We Don't Have Time for Distractions': Shinseki Out at VA
By Bridget Johnson May 30, 2014 8:28 AM ET
The White House stood by Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki through mounting calls for his resignation over the department's waitlist scandal, but today he finally stepped down.
President Obama called an impromptu news conference this morning at which he said moments before he'd seen the department's initial review on allegations of secret waitlists that left veterans waiting long periods for care and even dying during these periods.
"What they found is that the misconduct has not been limited to a few VA facilities but many across the country," Obama said, adding that the findings are "unacceptable"
He said Shinseki had begun firing people associated with the waitlists and canceled bonuses for senior executives. Shinseki directed the VA to contact every veteran waiting in Phoenix.
"A few minutes ago Secretary Shinseki offered me his resignation," Obama said. "With regret, I accepted."
He went on to praise Shinseki, saying that his commitment to veterans is "unquestioned" and that the secretary "has worked hard to investigate and identify the problem… he does not want to be a distraction."
"I agree we don't have time for distractions," Obama said. "We need to fix the problem."
Acting Secretary Sloan Gibson, who became deputy secretary at the VA just three months ago, will take over the agency. Obama said he hopes to have a nominee before Congress soon.
Obama said the only change that led to the resignation was Shinseki's "judgment."
"He is a very good man… who's done exemplary work on our behalf," the president said. "… I think he's deeply disappointed that bad news didn't get to him."
However, as of this morning, 119 lawmakers were calling for Shinseki's resignation, including 10 Democratic senators and 27 House Dems.
Backers of Shinseki in Congress included Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Senate Veterans Affairs Committee Chairman Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.). Even House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) wasn't jumping on the resignation bandwagon, expressing concern that Shinseki could be used by the administration as a scapegoat.
"I'm going to continue to reserve judgment on General Shinseki," Boehner told reporters at a GOP news conference yesterday. "The question I ask myself, is him resigning going to get us to the bottom of the problem? Is it going to help us find out what's really going on? And the answer I keep giving is no. But the real issue here is that the president is the one who should be held accountable."
Obama was asked at this morning's news conference is Shinseki was a scapegoat. "Meaning?" Obama replied.
Sen. Joe Donnelly (D-Ind.) called it "time for a fresh pair of eyes on this calamity."
"His resignation alone will not solve this problem, because this isn't just about one man—it is about a culture change. We need to hold accountable those who were carrying out or encouraging these practices day to day, and we must ensure that the VA health system provides the responsiveness and quality care our veterans deserve," Donnelly said. "It's clear that the current scheduling system is woefully inadequate and allows for those who want to game the system to disregard the standards we expect for those who have so honorably served our country. We must not stop until the system is fixed."
Sen. Jerry Moran (R-Kansas) said Shiseki's replacement "should not come from within the current dysfunctional system that is failing our veterans."
"I hope the president is willing to give veterans an individual they can trust to take the Department of Veteran's Affairs in a new direction, and give veterans hope that the VA can move beyond its failures and provide them with the care they earned and deserve," Moran said.

Third World with special guest SoPoz at Elevation 27
Smooth Reggae
With four decades of smash hit songs, sold-out tours and inspirational messages, one may wonder, "Where did it all begin? What gives Third World the staying power so rare in the music industry?" Third World is more than just one of the top Reggae bands of all time, it is an institution that stands for producing and performing music that, while holding firm to the cultural and ancestral roots of its members, still pushes forward the cutting edge of music worldwide. It is an institution whose themes are positive, progressive and internationally relevant.
We invite you to take a listen to THIRD WORLD!
Celebrating 45 years, 'Reggae Ambassadors', THIRD WORLD is one of the longest-lived Reggae bands of all time, and one of Jamaica's most consistently popular crossover acts among international audiences. Mixing in elements of R&B, funk, pop, and rock and, later on, dancehall and rap, Third World's style has been described as "reggae-fusion". Singer Bunny Rugs described the band's sound: "Strictly a reggae band, no. Definitely a reggae band, yes." Guitarist Cat Coore said of their music: "The hybrid of various types of music is a natural thing because, by growing up in Jamaica, we know the direct roots of reggae and ska. At the same time we live in a country where you get to hear Chuck Berry, Fats Domino and all the R & B artists." Bassist Richard Daley said, "We took roots reggae music and put branches on top of it".
The genesis of Third World was originally formed in 1973 by guitarist/cellist Steven "Cat" Coore, keyboardist Michael "Ibo" Cooper, drummer Carl Barovier and singer Milton "Prilly" Hamilton all of Inner Circle, along with bassist Colin "Oliver" Leslie. Tomorrows Children bass guitarist, Richard Daley soon replaced Colin Leslie and Leslie teamed up with Darren Green to manage and organize the group. After a few months, Barovier was replaced by Cornell Marshall, and the group made its live debut that year at Jamaica's independence celebration. They played in and around the Kingston club scene and on the hotel scene island wide, making a name for themselves as one of the few fully self-contained bands around.
In 1974, percussionist Irwin "Carrot" Jarrett joined the group and that same year they recorded their debut single, "Railroad Track". In 1975, Third World was eager to broaden their musical horizons and took a chance by travelling with no tour dates on the books to England. The trip was fortunate and Third World subsequently inked a deal with the internationally minded Island label, who sent the young talented musicians out as the opening act for Bob Marley & the Wailers' 1975 World Tour.
Their self-titled debut album, Third World was released on the Island imprint in 1976 and featured a popular cover of the Abyssinians' the roots classic "Satta Massagana." The follow-up, 1977's 96° in the Shade, introduced new drummer Willie "Roots" Stewart and new lead singer William Clark, aka Bunny Rugs. The LP was an enormous critical success in the U.K. and Europe, and spawned an all-time classic single in the title track. That set the stage for the group's commercial breakthrough album, 1978's Journey to Addis, which featured a funky, disco-flavored reggae cover of the O'Jays' "Now That We've Found Love." The song hit the Top Ten on the American R&B charts in 1979, as well as the British pop Top Ten, and the LP climbed into the R&B Top 20. The follow-up single, "Cool Meditation," made the British Top 20 and Third World emerged as international stars.
The group quickly followed its breakout hit with The Story's Been Told later in 1979, and it charted in the US. In 1980, they issued two albums, Rise In Harmony and the film soundtrack Prisoner in the Street, which marked the end of their tenure with Island. Third World next signed with CBS and debuted with 1981's Rock the World, which gave them another significant crossover hit in "Dancing on the Floor (Hooked on Love)," a British Top Ten. At the 1981 Reggae Sunsplash Festival, Stevie Wonder joined Third World on-stage to perform his tribute to Bob Marley, "Master Blaster (Jammin')"; it went well enough that Wonder wrote and produced two singles on the group's next album, 1982's You've Got the Power. The first single, "Try Jah Love," was a funky dance track that became another significant crossover hit in America, nearly hitting the R&B Top 20. The second single, "You're Playing Us Too Close," wasn't as commercial, but the musical synergy created in the recording studio between Wonder & the band was so dynamic that You've Got the Power became Third World's second album to hit the US R&B Top 20 charts.
The band's success continued on through the '80s, as 1983's All The Way Strong and 1985's Sense of Purpose both made the R&B Top 50. The latter album produced several crossover hits in the title track, "One To One," and "One More Time," which sported state-of-the-art, club-friendly dance beats. In 1987 Third World collaborated in the studio with songwriters, Gamble and Huff and CBS released, Hold on to Love, the album went on to be their first of 10 Reggae Grammy nominations. After their departure from CBS, the band joined the Mercury label and their 1989 label debut, Serious Business, restored their commercial standing with American R&B audiences, climbing into the Top 30 on the strength of a third major crossover hit, "Forbidden Love." One of the first commercially successful fusions of reggae and rap, "Forbidden Love" featured a guest appearance by Stetsasonic lead rapper Daddy O, and charted in the R&B Top 20.
Third World's second Mercury album was 1992's dancehall-flavored Committed, which produced a Top 30 R&B hit in the title cut. Their next release, 1994's Live It Up, appeared on the band's own label, TWB. In 1997, founding member Michael "Ibo" Cooper and Willie Stewart both departed, and were replaced by keyboardist Leroy "Baarbe" Romans and drummer Tony "Ruption" Williams, respectively and the return of Rupert Bent. This lineup released Generation Coming in 1999, landing guest spots from Shaggy and Bounty Killer. Afterwards, Romans was replaced by Herbie Harris, who made his studio debut on 2003's Ain't Givin' Up. The same year Third World celebrated a quarter century of playing music by re-recording their classics for 25th Anniversary. Two years later they returned with Black, Gold, Green which included guests Beres Hammond, Wayne Marshall, and Blue Fox.
Their 2011 effort, Patriots, was released under their own label imprint, Third World Music Group featuring collaborations with Toots Hibbert, Marcia Griffiths, the late Gregory Isaacs, Sly Dunbar, Robbie Shakespeare, Dean Fraser, Inner Circle, Mykal Rose, Junior Reid, Capleton, Stephen & Damian Marley, Tarrus Riley and Tessanne Chin. Single releases from Patriots include the "Spirit Lives ft Junior Reid & Inner Circle", a dedication to the people of Haiti after the 2011 earthquake, "By My Side ft Tessanne Chin" and showcased in Robert Townsend's popular online series "Diary of a Single Mom", "Good Hearted People ft Capleton", and a remake of the band's classic, "96 Degrees In the Shade ft Stephen and Damian Marley".
With 10 Grammy nominations and catalogue of charted hits spanning four decades, Third World accolades include, the 1986 United Nations Peace Medal, 1992 and 1996 Jamaica Music Industry Awards for Best Show Band, New York City Ambassador Award in November 2009 at Brooklyn Academy of Music ("BAM"), 2011 Excellence in Music at the Atlanta Caribbean Festival, numerous awards and accolades from Martin's International Reggae and World Music Awards, in 2012 William Clark was awarded Ambassador at Caribbean American Heritage Awards in Washington DC and most recently "The Art of Reggae Music" award for 40 years of quality music and dedication at the 2013 staging of Jamaica Jazz and Blues in Montego Bay.
SoPoz
Originally created in March, 2016 which now consists of a 5 piece of well seasoned musicians all meshing together from other well known local and touring acts. Mix together some reggae, rock, ska and dub you then have a basic description of SoPoz! "What does it mean?!" To be simply put the name originally standing for something positive & the passion of music. Thus far the band has already fired off straight into big festivals such as; Camp Barefoot, Beast Coast Reggae Fest and Bless the Woods Festival and Surrounded by the Sound Music And Arts Festival at the same time playing steady through the week getting the local crowds rowdy! This being said even though the name is new to the scene the guys are not...they are more than ready to get in there and let the music speak for itself!!
They have also had the pleasure of playing with fellow artists:
Ballyhoo!
Beebs & Her Money Makers
Zach Deputy
Of Good Nature
Roots of a Rebellion
The Rise Brothers
Roots of Creation
Audic Empire
The band looks to continue expanding their reach by playing tours in Florida, Texas, Colorado, and California in the upcoming year.
Even though the name is new to the scene the guys are not...they are determined to grow their grassroots fanbase and become one of the top artists in the genre.
Their music is best seen in person at their live shows where many songs and sets change every night. You may hear a song three nights in a row, but the song itself will be different. That comes from their love of improvising and separates them from other similar acts. That same song may be 3 minutes one night, and 5 minutes the next night. It all depends on the vibes and feels from each show.
