Album Review of Fear Is On Our Side by I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness.
In the early 21st century, all it took was some retro '80 designer threads to be considered "new wave revivalists. " And like any rock music movement, there are always going to be artists that get by due to a keen fashion sense (which strangely, are usually the acts that conquer the charts), while others actually have something to say musically. The Texas quintet I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness is of the latter variety -- debuting in 2003 with a self-titled EP, and finally returning in 2006 with the full-length, Fear Is on Our Side.


Catesby Estates plc are working with the landowners of Myton Green a 96 acre site off Europa Way, Warwick which has consent for 735 new homes.
Catesby Estates are enabling future development by the provision of infrastructure facilitating the delivery of much needed new homes to the area.
Work began in earnest onsite in early June, with the start of the highway improvements to Europa Way following closely behind in July. The works are expected to last approximately 56 weeks.
Initial work has included stripping off topsoil and subsoil materials, so the ground can be profiled to the correct levels for roads and landscaping areas.
Approximately 75,000m3 of soil has been moved to date, and the majority redistributed within the site to provide landscaped areas.
Exceptionally dry conditions, has meant we have made good progress on the earthwork operations.
Earthwork activities are continuing to complete the profile of the landscape areas.
On Europa Way the alignment of the new carriageway is being formed and the Statutory Authorities are diverting cables into the new verges to allow for the new road to be constructed.
Installation of new foul and storm water sewers along the spine road to service housing plots.
Balancing ponds are being formed, to store storm water in periods of heavy rain. This will allow the water to enter the existing system at a controlled rate preventing flooding.
New pathways and cycle routes will be formed which will run around the whole perimeter of the site and through the 'green corridor'.
The demolition of the farmhouse is programmed for late September/early October.
There is planning consent to utilise Saumur Way as vehicular access for up to 70 plots. The latest plans demonstrate a cycling and pedestrian link only with vehicular access to this parcel connected to the new internal spine road and on to Europa Way only. However the option to use Saumur Way is still available.
A new community notice board will be installed on Saumur Way at the boundary with the site. This will display details of the site, contact details, newsletters and progress photos.

Enjoy an exile of your own on Elba
By Norrie Hunter
Most famous as the place where the French banished their emperor Napoleon Bonaparte to a short term period of exile, Elba is an island off the west coast of Italy that few British tourists visit. Many would be hard pressed to tell you exactly where it is! The island is, however, an international vacation hot spot for Italians for over five decades.
A little paradise, Elba is a mere 55 minute ferry ride away from the Tuscany mainland and is part of an archipelago that includes Sardinia and Corsica. It has no fewer than 49 beaches, a host of classy hotels, numerous budget B&Bs and attractions to suit most visitors.
To reach Elba takes no great effort. It's only a 20 minute flight from Pisa – itself under three hours flying time from Prestwick. Much more exciting is a train down the scenic coast to catch the ferry from the port of Piombino. Two main ferry operators – the colourful Moby line and the more traditional but less expensive, Toremar company make the crossing to Portoferraio of Elba's eastern seaaboard. There's also a passenger-only 35 minute hydrofoil service.
The main coastal town and island capital, Portoferraio is the gateway to
Elba's rugged and dramatic coast, mountain roads with hairpin bends can take the breath away. Thousands of inlets and coves are best explore by sail or motor boat. This relatively small island (224 sq. km. in area) offers diving, wind surfing, hang gliding, cycling and walking .
Elba's highest peak, Monte Capanne (1018 m.) with its own cable car, attracts countless hill walkers, mainly from Germany, Switzerland and Holland, to its slopes each year. In the spring and early summer the mountain is awash with colour from the masses of Mediterranean flowers, shrubs and trees.
Napoleon may have been incarcerated for only 10 months on Elba but his legacy is evident today. Elbanis, (islanders) are indebted to the emperor. The island was fought over by the Germans, Austrians, English and French Elba's "full ownership and sovereignty" was assigned to the French Emperor. He left behind important traces of his rule – building roads, reorganising the iron mining economy and increasing the production and export of wine.
Napoleon was never actually 'in jail' during his stay here but lived in his own winter and summer residences and left to enjoy what must have appeared a paradise compared to parts of his native France in the early 19th Century. His homes are now museums and a must on the tourist trail.
Known as the pearl of the Tuscan Archipelago, Elba is dotted with small fortress towns such as Marciana Marina, Lacona, Porto Azzurro and Marina Di Campo.
There are 8,000 tourist beds in a range of hotels, over 2,500 beds in smaller B&B and residential hotels and 10,000 camping places throughout its natural landscape. We stopped at the pleasant and idyllic Hotel Paradiso, a hillside hotel consisting of several cottages all with terraces overlooking the Med.
A 'wellness' centre was established on Elba in the 1950s by Genoa-born Paolo de Farrari and now guests can have mind and body experiences at the exclusive Integree Centre.
Traditional Elban cuisine is based primarily on simple dishes and the imagination and knowledge of local chefs dominate.
Among the most popular and sought after dishes are "Lo Stoccafisso alla Riese" (stock fish), a traditional Elban dish and "Gurguglione" a popular vegetable stew.
Our meal at the privately owned Osteria Del Chirlo Grigio in the southern coastal town of Marina Di Campo, saw the arrival of Puchini mushrooms on a bed of olive oil-dressed tagiatelle followed by a massive T-bone steak for three. The finale was an Elban Picorino cheese made from sheep's milk coated in chestnut flavour local honey, washed down with the dregs of our Tuscan red.
Despite a radical reduction in vineyards over these last 50years, Elban grapes still produce an array of fine wines, including Cecilia (from Marina di Campo) Arrighi and Sepereta, both from Port Azzurro with Moscato and Aleatico, two sweet dessert wines.
Legend has it that on his adventurous travels in search of the Golden Fleece, Jason stopped off at Porto Argon, the present-day Capo Bianco. For the Etruscans who occupied the island for over 500 years, Elba was an inexhaustible source of wealth, rich in iron deposits, which in the VIII century BC they exported throughout the Mediterranean for great profit.
Today, Elba produces many of its own speciality products including soaps and perfumes called Acqua dell Elba. It is said that while swimming in a little bay, Bonaparte's wife Paolina was enchanted by the aroma of the Mediterranean shrubs around her. She told her husband: …"here we could create better perfumes than those we receive from Paris."
As the emperor couldn't say 'no' to his beloved, he began constructing a laboratory but when production was about to begin, a bird flew away with the formula for the perfume – Paolina's Acqua dell Elba! Now however, three young Elbans have built their own laboratory and, using all local ingredients, have created a range of perfumes and eau de toilettes that sell worldwide.
Three local beers are brewed on Elba – Napoleon, Le Coti Nere and Birra dell'Elba – and a single spirit called Smania.
Elba is best visited in spring and early summer (May – June) and autumn (September) when most other Europeans are back at work! The island is becoming increasingly aware of the UK tourist market… "we have never really promoted the charms of our island to the British but that is about to change," says Fabrizzio Massa, editor of the local Elba Pocket Guide, "many people don't even know where Elba is and it's time we put it firmly on the tourism map."

- Do you have more information about the 10 MHz quartz sensors (AT10-14-6-UP-10) you sell, e.g. active electrode area, density, shear modulus and shear wave velocity so that we can estimate mass changes when we measure frequency shifts?
Despite this Arduino clock limit, we can measure frequencies higher than 8MHz by means the undersampling technique. By means undersampling, the frequency shift measured is exacly corresponding to the right value of a normal sampling method. Yhis is the reason that openQCM can operate also at 10MHz.
As matter of fact, we have verified that for frequency in the range of 10 MHz, as openQCM quartz crystal sensor, the FreqCount algorithm counting is affected by something very similar to "aliasing". For this reason for frequency > 8 MHz we need to modify the frequency measurement retrieved by the library in order to calculate the actual frequency of vibration.
Let me know if it helps, I am glad to help !

Q: 2.7 CSV module wants unicode, but doesn't want unicode csvfile_ = open(finishedFileName+num+".csv","w",newline='')
writ = csv.writer(csvfile_, dialect='excel')
firstline = unicode(str(firstline))
try:
    writ.writerow(firstline)
except TypeError:
    print firstline
    print type(firstline)
    raise

I get a TypeError: must be unicode, not str with this code. When printing the type of firstline, I see <type 'unicode'>. When I print firstline, I see ['project_number', 'project_location'](The list is longer than that, but it continues in that style.)
This program was working fine in python 3.3. I ported it over with 3to2, switching from unix to windows as I did so.
How do I make this program write smoothly?
Note: This version of the csv module doesn't support Unicode input according to the official documentation, but it told me to give it Unicode input anyway.

A: Martijn Pieters' solution using 'w' or 'wb' does not seem to work because of the newline argument. I personally get a ValueError.
ValueError: binary mode doesn't take a newline argument

Which I don't really understand, I would expect io to ignore it rather than raise an Exception.
The only solution that works for me both on python 2 and 3 is:
if sys.version_info.major < 3:
    open(my_csv_file, 'rb')
else:
    open(my_csv_file, 'r', newline='')

Solution that can become very heavy when you open a lot of files. Martijn solution was cleaner in that regard, if only it could work!
EDIT:
I think the cleanest working solution when developing a package that needs to read/write files often is to create a small utility function that can be called everywhere in the package:
import sys
import io

def open_csv_rb(my_file):
    if sys.version_info[0] < 3:
        return io.open(my_file, 'rb')
    else:
        return io.open(my_file, 'r', encoding='utf8')

def open_csv_wb(my_file):
    if sys.version_info[0] < 3:
        return io.open(my_file, 'wb')
    else:
        return io.open(my_file, 'w', newline='', encoding='utf8')

A: Unfortunately, 3to2 used the io.open() call instead of the built-in Python 2 open() function. This opened the file in text mode, which like on Python 3 expects Unicode input.
However, the csv module does not support Unicode data; it certainly does not produce Unicode.
You'll either have to open the file in binary mode on Python 2:
mode = 'w'
if sys.version_info.major < 3:
    mode += 'b'
csvfile_ = open(finishedFileName + num + ".csv", mode, newline='')

or use the built-in open() call instead:
csvfile_ = open(finishedFileName + num + ".csv", 'wb')

where you have to use 'wb' as the mode anyway.
If you are trying to write out unicode data, you'll have to encode that data before passing it to the csv.writer() object. The csv module examples section includes code to make encoding from Unicode before writing a little easier.

A: I had the same problem with open() and csv.  A friend gave me the solution, which is to use open_output() instead of open().  open_output() defaults to "wb" instead of text.

I rented a Bobcat yesterday to regrade the driveway. It was bad. Really bad. How bad? Well a friend said it was like a third world road! We had 2 storms this summer with torrential rain that wiped it out. The ground was still damp from that little snow storm and perfect for working it. Anyways I had to rent the Bobcat for a whole day. It only took about 3.5 hrs to do the driveway and then I thought hmm, what can I do with it now?! At that moment, Javier pulled up with 2 trailer loads of horse manure, so I spread it out over the pumpkin patch that I had just cleaned up the day before. How fortuitous! Then I went out to what will be the new garden addition (say what?!) on the back of the existing main garden. I know I said I was done adding on but I'm trying to get a three-year rotation for my tomatoes. I had cactus, piles of dirt, old compost bins and a lot of junk over there just on the other side of the long gourd tower. Well I took the Bobcat and ripped out the cactus, smoothed out the area, removed the junk and cactus, and spread out the old compost inside a couple of hours. Still had some time left so I ran it over to the area I want a greenhouse and leveled it out, removed rocks and cactus and dug up old tree stumps that would have been right in the middle of it. I had to get out of the Bobcat to push a big piece of cement and some tree stumps into the bucket and dropped a big tree stump on my big toe loading it. Not sure but it's either broken of severely bruised. I'll figure that out tomorrow as I am dirt tired as I say.
Phew! Got it all done under 8 hours!
This entry was posted in GARDEN PLANNING, general and tagged Bobcat garden uses, breaking land for gardens, vegetable gardening.
I'm impressed with what you managed to get done with what I would guess is your first experience with a Bobcat. What are your plans for your greenhouse? If you have a drainage problem due to a substantial rainfall that wipes out your road, might I suggest a small ditch of some sort on either one side of your road to funnel this water off without ruining the road from erosion?
This was my 3rd time using a Bobcat so I figured out what it can do before hence I was able to do a lot. Best $175.00 I've spent. The driveway is on a pretty steep incline but the garden area and the area for the future greenhouse are on way less of a incline but still sloped. The garden will have raised beds (but not framed) like my main garden beds and I will level each of these. The greenhouse area will also have some raised beds but I like your idea of putting a little ditch around the greenhouse to divert the rain. I'm thinking of building my own greenhouse as i don't want a high tunnel because of the high winds I get here at times..
I swear you have super powers that give you unlimited energy. I don't know any 20 year-olds that could get that done in one day. Go Neens go!

Phosphorus, Chickens and the River Wye
S&TC's agricultural policy is simple; incentivise farmers to invest in their infrastructure and spread the word about modern soil management, but always be prepared to use the current legislation to regulate persistent offenders...
Paul Knight, S&TC Fisheries Consultant
George Monbiot writing in the Guardian recently highlighted the dreadful state of Welsh rivers. He focussed on the Wye, where intensive chicken farming discharges phosphate (P) at far greater levels than the safe carrying capacity of the river, leading to awful water quality and subsequent impact on its wildlife. The NFU hang on the coattails of Natural Resources Wales, who state that P has improved in the river over recent years, but rather than crow that excess nutrient is no longer a problem, it is important to understand the way P acts in a river, and why no-one should be complacent about the state of the Wye or its sister Welsh rivers.
The easiest way to explain P's impact on a river is to think of a cliff gently sloping down until it reaches an edge, which then drops vertically into the sea – let's give the cliff-edge a value of 30 and the top of the gentle slope as 100. P at 40 has broadly the same impact on water quality as it does at 100 – too much nutrient leading to excess algae growth, discoloured water and the 'dirty' riverbed to which George Monbiot alludes, but once it drops back to 30, the improvement is dramatic, and the symptoms fall away, you might say, over the cliff edge and into the sea.
This rather simplistic explanation has an important message, cutting P back from 100 to, say, 50, is a huge improvement, to which government agencies and the likes of the NFU will crow about the great job being done. However, in terms of water quality improvement that actually supports more resilient and healthy life in the river, it is virtually useless. More work needs to be done to reach 30 at the cliff edge, and then the river really starts a rapid improvement.
So why is excess P a problem to water life, apart from making the river environment murky and the bed gravels covered in algae? S&TC's Riverfly Census showed that P, along with sediment and toxic chemicals, are the biggest river polluters across the UK, and that agriculture is their main source. Our further research proved that high P levels, particularly in conjunction with sediment, kills water insects, the vital basis of a river's food chain. So, P, especially in conjunction with sediment, is actually toxic to water life unless kept down to natural values, 30 in our scenario.
S&TC is now using this evidence to press Welsh government and Natural Resources Wales, and Defra/Environment Agency (EA) in England, to take river pollution seriously and tighten agricultural regulation to ensure that the wildlife of rivers such as the Wye have a much more natural environment in which to thrive. We can never return our watercourses to their truly natural state, there will always be human impact in such a closely managed countryside as we have in the UK, but there are issues we can do something about if we have the political commitment to address them, and cutting back agricultural impact on our rivers is definitely one of those.
Strong regulation is a must, but we do not just advocate the stick approach. If you read the executive summary of the Axe Report, you will see that financial incentives for farmers to improve their infrastructure can produce dramatic results, albeit that they were threatened with heavy regulation if they didn't comply. Persuading farmers to adopt better soil management techniques is also critical, so that P is kept where it belongs, on fields, rather than being allowed to leach into rivers.
However, the most important aspect of the Axe example is that sufficient resources were made available to the EA to properly address the poor ecological state of the river, and they did that by visiting farms and advising farmers, many of whom had no idea they were polluting the river. The result was nearly £4m of inward investment into updated infrastructure, and that is the sort of funding we need replicated across the whole of Wales and England if we are to protect our rivers into the future.
So, S&TC's agricultural policy is simple; incentivise farmers to invest in their infrastructure and spread the word about modern soil management, but always be prepared to use the current legislation to regulate persistent offenders so that it becomes uneconomic for farmers to pollute watercourses such as the Wye. If we can achieve that, then our wild fish and all other water wildlife will have the best possible chance to thrive, even in our micro-managed environment.

S&TC Cymru Update June 2020
Richard Garner Williams, S&TC National Office for Wales writes:
In a spirited demonstration of enthusiastic collaboration S&TC Cymru, the Wild Trout Trust, the Grayling Society and the Game and Wildlife Trust recently joined forces in writing to Lesley Griffiths, Welsh Government Minister for Environment, Energy and Rural Affairs offering broad support for Natural Resources Wales' Salmon and Sea Trout Plan of Action. The Plan was launched at the Minister's request in response to the outcome of the Local Inquiry on Natural Resources Wales' proposed All Wales Salmon and Sea Trout Byelaws earlier this year. We understand the Plan of Action will be underlain by a detailed Forward Delivery Plan which all four organisations look forward to examining and discussing upon publication. The letter also urged the Minister to ensure that the implementation of the Plan be adequately funded to ensure that Wales meets its national and international obligations towards these two keystone species.
Agricultural pollution continues to wreak havoc on the fragile populations of the wild fish of Wales with a recent slurry containment failure killing fish along at least 4km of the Afon Peris, near Llanon on the Cardigan Bay coast. It must be presumed the invertebrate population within the affected reaches fared little better than the fish, further compounding the effects of the spill on the river's biodiversity. Although diminutive in size, S&TC Cymru is becoming increasingly convinced that rivers such as the Peris play an important role in sewin stock recruitment, with emerging smolts supplementing returning numbers of mature fish in larger, neighbouring rivers. With the Teifi to the south and the Rheidol, Dyfi and Mawddach to the north, we can only begin to wonder what the long term, more distant impacts of the spill might be. Regrettably, the incident was only brought to the attention of the authorities when members of the public noticed dead fish floating in the polluted water. It would appear that the farmer was unaware of the incident until alerted to it by NRW. Equipment or storage failures such as this are a far too frequent an event and suggest widespread negligence and lack of investment in the infrastructure required for today's more intensive methods of dairy production. S&TC Cymru have repeatedly called on Welsh Government to address these issues and while the recently announced Draft Water Resources Regulations give some hope for improvement in the control of agricultural pollution, we have yet to see evidence of the commitment to the extra resources required for their enforcement.
Originally planned for introduction in January of this year, the new agricultural regulations designed to tackle the scourge of agricultural pollution remain in limbo as Welsh Government addresses the issues posed by Covid-19. S&TC Cymru wrote to congratulate the Minister on her original forthright announcement of the need to take action but have since become increasingly concerned at hints of mission creep. During the latter months of last year, at the behest of the Minister, Natural Resources Wales and NFU Cymru collaborated on a project to explore potential voluntary options, suggesting a more flexible approach based on "earned autonomy" which would release individuals from strict regulatory control. Unlike Scotland and England, where the impact of agriculture on water is regulated by statutory basic rules, Wales has no such general binding measures, relying instead on voluntary compliance with guidelines laid put in the Code of Good Agricultural Practice (CoGAP). Patently, this has failed, as the regular reports of both acute and chronic incidents of pollution make clear. We therefore conclude there can be no further place for the provision of voluntary measures with regard to the impact of agriculture on the freshwater environment if Welsh Government is serious in its intent to conclusively address the matter. With that in mind and again in the spirit of collaboration and cooperation, the Grayling Society and the Wild Trout Trust recently joined with S&TC Cymru as co-signatories to a letter to the Minister calling for the introduction of a suite of basic rules for water for all land users across the whole of Wales, in advance of the currently proposed regulations, whatever their final form. I look forward to reporting, hopefully, a positive outcome to this and thank the WTT and the GS for their ready participation in our collaborative approach.
Finally, I'm sure you were all as disappointed as was I that we had to postpone our spring seminar. This has become an extremely popular event and this year's bookings were already close to capacity when we suddenly found ourselves overtaken by events. With so much uncertainty continuing to surround the resumption of normal social interactions we have decided to formally cancel our 2020 seminar and start instead to prepare for the 2021 event. Until then, thank you for your valued support and please feel free to get in touch at any time should you wish to discuss matters in greater detail.
Reporting with a purpose
S&TC is a national organisation and we use evidence from local case studies to help instigate policy changes that will benefit UK wild fish populations. But, this is just part of the value - we are making all our Riverfly Census findings available so they can be used to inform local management and drive action.
Each individual river report is based on three years of surveying data. Where possible, we have linked up our findings with other existing literature and data. Using the available information we suggest where local fishing and/or conservation groups can focus their management efforts to achieve the best health outcomes for each of the 12 original Census rivers.
Some of our local reports can be found on the slider below. Alternatively, visit the Riverfly Census page and scroll down to the map.

SmartRivers launched in Wales
S&TC Cymru launches its first SmartRivers hub in partnership with the South East Wales Rivers Trust
S&TC Cymru is delighted to announce that South East Wales Rivers Trust (SEWRT) is to host the first SmartRivers hub in Wales. The hub is certain to play a valuable role in assisting SEWRT restore the natural beauty and biodiversity of the postindustrial Cynon.
SmartRivers, born out of the Riverfly Census, uses aquatic invertebrates as a diagnostic test to tell us about the health of rivers and possible pollutants affecting wild fish populations.
Quick and easy to deploy, but also producing robust and powerful information, polluters of rivers and streams have already been forced to take action. "SmartRivers Delivering Results"
Richard Garner Williams, S&TC National Office for Wales
"I'm delighted SEWRT has chosen to engage with S&TC's SmartRivers programme and look forward to seeing the positive contribution the hub will make towards the Trust's ambitions. It is heartwarming to see the rivers of the south Wales valleys returning to life and I wish the all those associated with the Trust great success in their endeavours."
SmartRivers provides valuable information to assist with catchment management decisions, as well as establishing an insurance policy for rivers in the form of a benchmark of their health.
The South East Wales Rivers Trust (SEWRT) was formed in 2007 to recover river habitats in the former industrial valleys of South Wales. The valley environment suffered a great deal in the industrial era, but is slowly recovering, although weirs, contemporary industrial pollution and waste water issues continue to present problems for fish habitats and migration. Thanks to European funding, SEWRT has spent in excess of£190,0000 over recent years on twenty fish easements and three habitat improvement schemes opening up an additional one hundred and thirteen kilometres of river to migrating fish. Regrettably, due to pressure of work, the Cynon did not feature heavily in the programme, benefitting from only five minor easements. Historically, the Cynon valley was a major area of coal production and heavy industry, the consequences of which had a devastating impact on the ecology of the river. However, the very upper reaches were not so badly affected and over the years these have proved to be the areas from which life has returned to repopulate this bruised and battered river. Local interest in the recovery and importance of the Cynon has generated an enthusiastic band of volunteers, ready and willing to carry out much of the work. The driving force within SEWRT is working with the local community to value the river, carry out community river surveys and run river restoration and fly monitoring courses.
Tony Rees, Chairperson of the SEWRT said:
"As Chairman of the SEWRT I have been heavily involved in several fly monitoring programmes. Reading about the SmartRivers project made me realise how well this would fit into a new project that SEWRT is running on a truly urban river, the Cynon. I already have funding for two fly monitoring courses locally as well as to run a river restoration course. Using SmartRivers will raise the standard of the work we will be doing to a higher level and is a perfect fit for the "River for All" project on the Cynon. It will ultimately help us to understand in greater depth the problems in our valley rivers. It will also be an excellent way to show those who join in with us the unseen life in the river that is so important to all our wellbeing, but that the public has little knowledge of. We are grateful to Welsh Water, Pen Y Cymoedd wind farm community fund, Natural Resources Wales and Post Code Lottery for supporting the project."
SmartRivers includes a comprehensive online and field-based training scheme, 1-2-1 support and good use of information technology, including a dedicated S&TC Invert ID App. This ensures that local community groups themselves are able to monitor the water quality in their rivers to a near-professional standard.
Lauren Mattingley, SmartRivers Project Manager S&TC
"We are delighted to be continuing our water quality work in Wales through SmartRivers. The Cynon is unlike any river we have enrolled in the programme to date, so the information we will obtain through the monitoring will be fascinating. It is astounding that tiny invertebrates can give us such vast insight into the subtle, and often invisible, pressures our young fish are being exposed to. We are very excited to educate the Cynon volunteers on these pressures. SmartRivers will give them the scientific power to understand what improvements are needed and measure the biological impact of any actions they may take."
Nick Measham, S&TC CEO said:
"The rivers of Wales rivers suffered so much in the industrial era and sadly continue to face a lot of pressure. We are always pleased to hear about the positive work being done and some good news stories about river restoration. SEWRT have achieved so much good for the rivers under their care. We hope our SmartRivers programme will help SEWRT turn high quality citizen science into meaningful real-world action that here and now improves outcomes for wild fish and the wider habitat."
Dennis Baynham, Secretary of the SEWRT
"The Cynon starts above Hirwaun and runs down the valley through the middle of Aberdare and Mountain Ash joining the Taff in Abercynon. It is a truly urban river in need of some TLC. It suffered years of pollution from colliery waste and the Phurnacite plant in Abercwmboi, but in the years since they stopped production water quality has improved tremendously. It now suffers with water quality problems from sewerage over flows and poor connections. I welcome this initiative as a step in the direction of identifying all the problems the Cynon. The local angling fraternity are behind this."
Afon Cynon, A River for all: Gareth Edge Project officer
"My project aims to improve the biodiversity of the Cynon through meaningful education, community engagement and small-scale environmental improvements. Volunteers are encouraged to undertake a Level 1 accredited qualification in River Restoration. Partner Schools look after critically endangered European eels for release on the catchment, as part of a Europe wide restocking project. River clean-ups are undertaken in partnership with Keep Wales Tidy. Invasive species will also be managed with the aid of local authority. Partnering S&TC and the SmartRivers programme will enable me to take my work to a wider audience of volunteers."
Natural Resources Wales issued the following statement,
"NRW is keen to support initiatives like SmartRivers, that involve communities in citizen science, and engender a wider and increased understanding of river ecosystems. SmartRivers monitoring aims to pick up issues, and working together, we can better protect and improve our river environments."
For more information about SmartRivers and how it could support your river management activities, please email: smartrivers@salmon-trout.org
For more information on the work of S&TC Cymru, please email our National Officer for Wales, Richard Garner Williams: wales@salmon-trout.org
Please note: We can only run courses with groups of around 10 volunteers and not for individuals. However, if you are struggling to establish a 'hub' group your local Rivers Trust or Wildlife Trust may be able to help.

Milk. A serious environmental threat?
So, here's the shocking news about the potential of milk to pollute rivers.
Paul Knight, S&TC CEO writes,
One of the consequences of the coronavirus pandemic has been that the demand for milk has slumped and so dairy farmers have had to pour away their excess, cows still have to be milked, after all, so production cannot just stop. In Wales, home of the new crop of mega dairy units, the rules state that unwanted milk should be poured into slurry storage if possible, and only sprayed onto fields if absolutely necessary.
Slurry from diary units is a consistent polluter of our rivers. It is sprayed onto fields and the first decent rain shower takes it straight into the nearest watercourse as run-off. We have heard reports some farmers even dispose of slurry directly into rivers, often at night in an attempt to hide their nefarious activity. The results can be devastating for local fish stocks, because of oxygen depletion due to the micro-organisms feeding on the organic material in slurry.
So, here's the shocking news about the potential of milk to pollute rivers. Take treated human sewage as our baseline. A biological oxygen demand (BOD) of up to 60 mg of oxygen per litre of pollutant. From this, these impacts have the following BOD:
No-one is yet suggesting that milk is finding its way into rivers, but the purpose of the above table is to show just how potentially polluting these agricultural waste products can be if they enter water courses. It is not so much that they are directly toxic to fish and water life, it is that they extract the oxygen out of the system to the extent that, in serious cases, all affected life will die as a consequence.
This is why S&TC is demanding government agencies are properly resourced to monitor watercourses effectively and enforce existing legislation. We have the legislation, we just need the political will and funding to deal with those farmers who continue to pollute our rivers and damage wild fish stocks.
We are also determined to influence post-Brexit agricultural policies that incentivise farmers to invest in such infrastructure as new storage facilities for slurry or silage that don't leak. But, while we lobby for these incentives to help farmers, we need the existing laws and regulations to be enforced. We are being fair to fish, not unfair to farmers.

S&TC launches first SmartRivers hub in Scotland
S&TC launches first SmartRivers hub in Scotland in partnership with Flow Country Rivers Trust.
The River Halladale is set to become the first river in Scotland to join SmartRivers, as Salmon and Trout Conservation continue trials of the innovative scheme.
The scheme, born out of the Riverfly Census, uses aquatic invertebrates as a diagnostic test to tell us about the health of rivers and possible pollutants affecting wild fish populations.
Nick Measham, S&TC Deputy CEO said:
"We're delighted to be able to support Flow Country Rivers Trust with our SmartRivers programme. SmartRivers is what S&TC is all about, turning science into meaningful real-world action, that here and now improves outcomes for wild fish and the wider habitat. We are very much looking forward to working with FCRT over the coming years."
Quick and easy to deploy, but also producing powerful information. Polluters of rivers and streams in England have already been forced to take action.
"SmartRivers Delivering Results"
SmartRivers provides both information to assist with catchment management decisions, as well as establishing an insurance policy for rivers in the form of a benchmark of their health. Real world empirical evidence about the diversity of invertebrate species which form the foundation of the food web in rivers will support the indicative monitoring of conductivity, pH levels and fry numbers.
Reuben Sweeting, Head Ghillie on the River Halladale said:
"SmartRivers is the final piece of the puzzle. It complements the range of monitoring already being carried out, helping to develop a fuller picture of the health of our rivers and, crucially, allowing us to better understand the potential they hold.
Being part of the team to bring SmartRivers north to Scotland for the first time is very exciting. With the opportunity to attain professional level benchmarking, combined with sampling and identification training, the benefits will be felt by all involved."
A comprehensive online and field based training scheme, 1-2-1 support and good use of information technology, including a dedicated S&TC Invert ID App, ensures that local community groups themselves are able to monitor the water quality in their rivers to a near-professional standard.
Lauren Mattingley, SmartRivers Project Manager S&TC said:
"We are overjoyed to be extending our water quality work into Scottish rivers. Ensuring young salmon and trout are as fit and healthy as possible before they migrate to sea is crucial for them to successfully complete their life cycles.
It is astounding that tiny invertebrates can give us such vast insight into the quality of the water our young fish are being exposed to. Working with the FCRT volunteers on the Halladale is going to be fascinating."
Benchmark monitoring on the River Halladale will be carried out in spring and autumn 2020. The first independent monitoring by the volunteers, under the auspices of the Flow Country Rivers Trust, will occur in spring 2021.
Alan Youngson, Scientific advisor, FCRT
"Over the last few years the FCRT and the local Fishery Boards have worked hard to build a better picture of the northern rivers and the salmon populations that they support. However, we still know very little about the invertebrate populations that the fish depend on for food. We look forward to learning much more from the professionals driving the Smart Rivers project."
John Mackay, Chairperson, Flow Country Rivers Trust said:
"Currently the North of Scotland rivers are in very good health, but we are mindful of the deteriorating situation across the UK. We have a database of the juvenile numbers, biomass density and the water conductivity for all the 10 rivers in the FCRT area. The Smart Rivers project to measure the insect food supply will add to this database and provide a benchmark, which will hopefully give us advance warning of a change in our environment."

Change of Chief Executive at Salmon & Trout Conservation
S&TC's CEO, Paul Knight, is to retire at the end of June and Nick Measham, currently Deputy Chief Executive, will take over the reins of the UK's premier wild fish charity.
Paul Knight stands down on June 30th after 26 years with the organisation, 18 of which have been as CEO, although he will continue for a further year with some part-time consultancy work, mainly connected to his Co-chairmanship of the NGOs at the North Atlantic Salmon Conservation Organistion (NASCO).
Paul Knight and Nick Measham, third and fourth from right respectively.
During Paul Knight's tenure, the organisation evolved from being the governing body for game angling into a fisheries charity (2008), changed its name from Salmon & Trout Association (S&TA) to Salmon & Trout Conservation (S&TC) in 2016, and had two office moves from Fishmongers' Hall, culminating in its first ever dedicated HQ, which is now located in Wiltshire.
Above all, the charity has gradually developed the focus of its work from being an angling interest group to a fisheries conservation organisation with policies built on sound scientific evidence. S&TC now sees angling as being a dividend of its work to create healthy wild fish stocks, water quality and freshwater and marine habitats, and its membership base is still mainly anglers, albeit those with a vision of their place within the wider water environment and their critical role in its future protection
Paul Knight had this to say about his time at S&TC,
"I have been extremely proud to work for this organisation for a quarter of a century, during which we made some substantial changes to the way in which we operate. I am very grateful to the six Chairs, all the Trustees and, before them, Council and Committee members, and of course the many volunteers at branch and national levels, all of whom have helped make my job so enjoyable. I am handing over to a very able successor in Nick Measham, with whom I have worked for five years and so continuity is assured. Despite our hard-won achievements over the years, there is still much to do to protect wild salmon and trout and the water environments on which they depend, and I wish S&TC, Nick and our tremendous staff the very best for the future."
Nick Measham has a background in investment management and a near life-long fascination with rivers and fish. He joined S&TA, as it then was, in 2015. He project-managed S&TC's highly successful Riverfly Census initiative and oversaw the expansion of freshwater campaigns to improve water quality and riverine habitat, and still found time to be an extremely effective fundraiser.
Nick Measham said,
"I am excited to take on the challenge to build on our achievements under Paul Knight to protect wild salmon and trout from the harm wreaked by over-exploitation, fish farming, poor water quality, land management issues and over abstraction. I inherit a talented and committed team and together we will strive to carry forwards our evidence-based advocacy for wild fish and their habitats."
High-frequency phosphorus monitoring for water quality management
Using high-frequency phosphorus monitoring for water quality management: a case study of the upper River Itchen, UK
Gary R. Fones & Adil Bakir & Janina Gray & Lauren Mattingley & Nick Measham & Paul Knight & Michael J. Bowes & Richard Greenwood & Graham A. Mills
Abstract Increased concentrations of phosphorus (P) in riverine systems lead to eutrophication and can contribute to other environmental effects. Chalk rivers are known to be particularly sensitive to elevated P levels. We used high-frequency (daily) automatic water sampling at five distinct locations in the upper River Itchen (Hampshire, UK) between May 2016 and June 2017 to identify the main P species……..
Read the full paper HERE
Dr Janina Gray, Head of Science & Environmental Policy at S&TC said:
"This peer-reviewed article has come from our phosphate (p) monitoring work on the Itchen. It highlights the spiky nature of P, which is typically missed in the EA's current monthly monitoring regime, and the need to better understand the impact these spikes could be having on river ecology. As a next step, S&TC, alongside EA and HIWWT, have joint funded a PhD at Nottingham University, which started in Sept 2019, to investigate the ecological impact of the P spikes."
"We have already taken this science and turned it into action. The work underpinned changes to watercress companies' discharge permits on the Itchen and contributed to a massive reduction of this pollutant in the river.
The spiky nature of the discharge implies that the EA's monthly sampling, combined with permit limits set in terms of annual averages, does not provide the protection our rivers need. Permit reform and the use of monitoring technology is urgently required. The current regime makes no sense.
Much more remains to be done but this is a start."

Mr. Reece Robins joins the show today to talk with us about the largest Warhammer 40,000 Tournament in the world!!! We discuss the recent changes to the ITC Missions, the ITC Code of Conduct and give some tips on what you should be thinking about if you want to win a giant 40k tournament.
I had lot of fun with this episode. Mike Brandt is with giving his perspective as a player in a major 40k tournament. He was a top contender at last year's LVO and it's great to get his insight leading up to the event. In future episodes we'll be covering what he's taking and WHY he's taking it.
Reece gives us some perspective on the event as the lead organizer and then we get down to business talking about what you need to consider if you plan on doing well. A lot of the talk is centered around how to maximize your score with ITC Champion's Missions.
In part 2 we talk about the Code of Conduct. There are a ton of mixed feelings on this with a large portion of them being 'Why do we even need this in the first place?!' Each of us give our perspective on this during the segment. I'm really anxious to hear what people think of this and if they think it will actually have an impact on the 40k tournament scene.
We close the show out, likely in a bit of a reverse order… we talk about things you should consider if you are just getting in to 40k. There are many things to consider before you even buy your first model. This is the start of a series where we focus the conversation to new player needs.

Of course THEHIPHOPDIVA.COM took the time to speak with Underground DIVA of the Week Peazy Baby about her recent successes and future plans. Here's what she had to say.
HHD: Let's begin with your name. How did you get the name Peazy Baby?
PB: It started in high school when everybody started saying for sheezy my neezy. Ny mane starts with a P so everybody started calling me Peazy Baby. I just stuck with that cause that's what everyone knew me as.
HHD: You're a rap artist, radio personality, graphic designer, and dj. What are your long-term career goals? What do you hope to accomplish with your talents?
PB: Of course I really want to push my music. That's what I really want to do. In 10 years I want to be a sucessful music artist — successful rap artist. As far as radio, I do a lot of voice work. I will probably do a clothing line sometime in the future. Really anything in the entertainment field I would love to get my hands on.
HHD: Tell us about CaliRock Entertainment, your independent entertainment label. What made you start it and what can we expect from that company?
PB: CaliRock Entertainment, first of all we got the name because I'm onriginally from California and I moved to Little Rock, Arkansas. Today it's 2009 and it's a new day. Sending in demos to record labels really isn't working anymore. Since you have to wait so long I was like why not take those steps myself? I know exactly what I want as an artist. So why not go ahead and do that? Hopefully in the next couple of years I'll have some artists of my own. Not only just rap or R&B. I'll take a country singer. If I can recognize talent I will definitely put you on CaliRock Entertainment.
HHD: Now let's talk about PZB Foundation. Tell us about your organization and some of the things it does in the community.
PB: I'm very proud of this organization cause I started it while I was in college. The main idea was for us to do someting to give back to the youth. We're going to do an event at the Bill Clinton library here. It's a fundraiser and we're going to raise school supplies and uniforms for those who are in need of those types of items. We did an event at my college. It was Peazy Week which was a week of activities and community services. With that it was so successful we're planning another one now. We'e hoping to give away a scholarship.
HHD: Let's talk about your music. Can you kind of define your lyrical style?
PB: Wow. I do a lot of party music. When I sit down and write I imagine I'm at a party or either at a concert.
HHD: Your single, "I'mma Do My Thang", received a lot of success. It peaked at number 48 on the Urban Top 100 Chart in Amsterdam. That's an incredible acheivement without having a major label behind you. What's your next step? Where do you see yourself going next?
PB: We're going to go ahead and release my next single, "On Fire", which is on my album "The Valedictorian". Hopefully, it will achieve some overseas success as well. I'm looking to get some videos out there on tv so people can see who exactly Peazy Baby is and what she can do.
HHD: Who are you musically inspired by?
PB: Well definitely the two people I get compared to, MC Lyte and Missy Elliott. I go back to the 90's like TLC and artists like that.
HHD: Who would you consider to be the most influential rappers?
PB: I'm gonna say MC Lyte and Queen Latifah. They were big artists back in the past and they are doing things right now that 20 years later I would love to see myself doing. They're doing music, they're doing voiceover work, they're doing shows, they're doing movies plus humanitarian work. Everything they're doing I wold love to be in their footsteps right now.
HHD: What upcoming projects are you working on that we can be on the lookout to support? I know you said you're about to drop your second single. What else do you have coming up?
PB: I already have my album. My debut album which I did myself, "The Valedictorian". That's already out and available on the internet. Me and my producer are gonna start writing up the second album and gettng all of that together.
PB: The new word this year is it's all about your swag. If you don't have your own individual swag no one's going to say you're a diva. A diva has to stand out and be a strong diva at that. A diva is a female version of a hustler, that's what Bey says right.

Thin-Skinned Leftists Clamor For Internet Censorship in America
Free speech has to go when feelings come into play.
By: Joe Schaeffer February 10, 2019 Articles, Establishment Media, First Amendment
American leftists are joining European elitists in calling for the squelching of Internet freedom. But while globalists overseas camouflage their attempted censorship efforts in the name of "copyright restrictions" and so on, U.S. ideologues are openly encouraging suppression on the grounds of… meanness.
People throughout the world who value free speech were horrified in 2018 when the European Union introduced plans to limit personal expression on the Internet. The most controversial concept is a planned directive known as Article 13 that would use ultra-strict interpretations of copyright protection to effectively eliminate the use of memes on the Internet. Memes are quite simply visual content that can be easily shared and typically use humor to bring home a message. They can be silly, political or anything you want them to be, really.
Negotiations on the directive have been ongoing, and it seems to be advancing to eventual implementation. The European establishment is striving to codify onerous compliance regulations to tamp down on unwanted political satire. As they do so, leftists in the U.S. are discarding the pretense and straight-out claiming that mockery should be proscribed if it hurts their feelings. We are basically seeing a two-pronged assault on free speech online.
BuzzFeed News has attracted flak for publishing an article decrying a meme in which female Democrat members of Congress who dressed in white for President Trump's State of the Union address have their heads covered in Ku Klux Klan hoods. The meme is a reference to the popular debating point within some conservative circles that Democrats are the traditional party of racism.
In other words, the meme is clearly satirical and meant to promote a particular political message. For BuzzFeed, however, the altered photo is a violation of Twitter's terms against "symbols historically associated with hate groups." Horrified by conservatives daring to spoof what appears to be a protected class of public figures, the article painfully observes that "[w]omen candidates and lawmakers are frequent targets for online vitriol."
How hurtful. How damaging. How corrosive. Why isn't such imagery banned from the Internet? Since we're asking, may we point out that BuzzFeed has tweeted its own celebration of this exact form of political imagery? Oh, but the target was different then, of course.
This Magazine Cover Of Donald Trump With A "Hitler Mustache" Has People Talkinghttps://t.co/RyRzdPrT78 pic.twitter.com/sDO37Pjg6g
— BuzzFeed News (@BuzzFeedNews) September 30, 2016
The very same outlet commended Mexican magazine Letras Libres for depicting Donald Trump as Adolf Hitler on one of its covers. Yes, in a September 2016 article published at the height of a vitriolic, mudslinging presidential race, BuzzFeed dropped the H-bomb on Trump.
Given BuzzFeed's concern over "hate imagery," its article about the cover photo doesn't contain a hint of criticism over this violation of what it decrees is acceptable Internet discourse. "Others are praising the use of design to make a point," reads one sentence, referencing tweets in support of the photo. "Overall, the cover's graphic designer is getting a lot of props," reads another, followed by more tweets admiring the image.
This clear double standard is the Achilles Heel of leftists on free speech and so many other issues.
Hurt feelings (Tears of a Writer)
The same hypocrisy shines forth in the lamentation of laid-off leftist journalists and their still-employed-for-the-moment colleagues over being told to "learn to code" by a flood of Twitter users all inspired by a terrible thought crime: They don't like the media. Buzzfeed and other left-wing outlets like HuffPost have recently fired divisions of writers while downsizing, and the more notorious of these reporters have been confronted by online trolls suggesting that they explore job opportunities in the computer programming industry.
In case anybody doesn't understand the "learn to code" remark, this tweet aptly covers it:
"Learn to code" is what media types have been glibly telling jobless manufacturing workers for years — jobless media types are now being trolled with the same glib advice, in order to highlight how unfair and condescending it is. Just in case anybody fails to grasp the meme 🙂
— Michael Tracey (@mtracey) February 5, 2019
Offense has been taken by the unemployed journalists, but most worrisome is that the immediate reaction is to get these commenters banned:
"Learn to code" was tweeted at me by a sketchy account. I reported it as abusive behavior as part of targeted harassment. Twitter suspended the account within 20 minutes.
Journalists if they tweet "learn to code" at you don't stay silent, take a moment to report it. https://t.co/RXgqqV2ptw
— Ben Popken (@bpopken) February 1, 2019
In an article at the radical Think Progress website, Jessica Goldstein dismisses any and all use of the mocking phrase because she and her fellow journalists see it as "targeted harassment."
"'Learn to code' is a linguistic dog whistle," Goldstein asserts, before arguing that lefty journalists should not be assaulted with the line because, you see, they, in fact, were extremely sympathetic when coal miners lost their jobs. The tweeters have got it all wrong! That is your opinion, Ms. Goldstein, and others disagree with you. The point is open for debate, by all means. But to call for a ban on anyone using that phrase because you received some threatening tweets shows remarkably poor logic totally unbecoming of someone who claims membership in an information-sharing profession. It's akin to banning all Internet usage of the phrase "Trump is an idiot" because someone somewhere on the Internet also said, "Trump is an idiot, somebody should hurt him."
The back-and-forth of social media vitriol is a dull topic to give serious consideration; the question of higher importance is the right of all internet users to free political expression. But it is increasingly obvious that the groups leading the campaign to restrict online political thought are globalist statists and strident leftists. One may draw the conclusion that there is an uncanny unity of purpose here: Two supposedly disparate groups are feverishly working on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean to eliminate the voices of those who do not see the world as they do.

A Survivor's Defining Moment

Every chief executive eventually faces a difficult situation and makes a critical decision that ultimately determines the future of the company.
For Franz Family Bakeries, also known as United States Bakery, that time came in the early 1980s, when Philip Morris approached the baking company about acquiring it.
Owner Joe Franz, who had been CEO of the company since 1954, thought maybe the time was right. He told Bob Albers, then executive vice president and general manager of the company, "Why don't we do it?"
Albers then took a couple flights to negotiate a deal with executives at Philip Morris' headquarters in New York.
"We didn't know what price we were going to get, except at that particular time, multiples were going high, and we had a good idea about what we would be getting," Albers recalls.
Before his final trip, Albers sat down with Franz. "This is not bad," he told Albers. "You get to retire. What are you going to do?'
Albers replied, "I'm going to go out and buy myself another company and grow it."
"You're not going to retire?" Franz responded.
Albers said, "No."
"Then why are we selling this one?" Franz countered.
"Because it's your company," Albers said. "You want to sell it. It's your choice."
Franz thought about it for a second and then said, "Let me tell you, Bob. Two things. First, I'd like a promise from you that you will take care of my family and watch out for their needs over the years. Number two, some day when you're my age [and] you're faced with this decision about what we're talking about here, I want you to give the young people in this company an opportunity to experience what you have experienced and what I gave you."
Now the current chairman and CEO, Albers notes that the company took care of the Franz family after Joe passed away in 1988. Additionally, the bakery takes care of top managers by giving them shares in the business as a way of retaining top talent. Moreover, for the last 50 years, the business has had a profit sharing plan where 15% is contributed to participants. The goal is to provide a nest egg for loyal employees upon retirement. That's how you build a solid, loyal team.
"We didn't spend all this time to hand it to somebody to take it down," Albers explains. "We have been careful and have assembled a team here where we have a lot of confidence that can carry this company for another 100 years."
Now, at 64, Albers would like to leave the next generation with the same advice that was left to him by Franz.
"Don't think personal," he says. "Think what's best for everybody, and when the time comes, just make the right decision."
Making the right decision is how Franz Family Bakeries and Schwebel Baking Co. of Youngstown, Ohio, survived over the years. Both are strong, regional, independent baking companies celebrating their 100th anniversary this year. They've persevered by being nimble and responding quickly to consumer trends. They take calculated risks, but they're also fiscally cautious.
Too often these days, family businesses sell their souls to venture capitalists and other investment funds, which then flip them to another owner in five to seven years. That's not necessarily bad, but the companies often lose something in the process.
"When venture capitalists buy you, they don't have the heart or the loyalty to persevere when times are tough," Albers says. "If they can get their money, they'll do anything.
"They don't think, 'I'm going to lose a lot of people, I'm going to hurt a lot of people or I'm going to leave a community,'" he adds. "They don't think that way."
"I don't say it's wrong," Albers continues, "but they are more into returns and 'what do we give our shareholders, what do we give our investors, and how can we get the maximum turn on them?'"
Congratulations to Franz, Schwebel's and all the other survivors in the snack food and wholesale baking industry.

The concept involves the use of Hyper-Matrix technology inside the pavilion. Pavilion reflects the coexistence of active virtual Internet space with real space, as reflected through the installation of a continuous cloud of small cubic elements (glowing in the evening), covering the entire plot. These elements symbolize presence around us huge flow of information, filling the space around us. Feed air permeates the lighted elements, getting thicker in the center area by combining into larger particles, and ultimately forming a central volume of the pavilion having a rectangular shape. The dynamic programmable backlight creates the effect of the flow of data in the cloud.
Visitor access to the area, immersed in a luminous cloud of information and moves it towards the pavilion, which also lights up inside. Functional space of the pavilion are rectangular volumes, which seemed to cling to the main volume from different angles. In general parallelepipedic cloud height of about 10 meters.
Inside the pavilion Hyper-Matrix wall may have additional programmable backlight of each cube that will greatly enhance the effect of this technology. Also video projection can be used.

Ian Gillan Band est un groupe de jazz fusion fondé en 1975 par l'ancien chanteur de Deep Purple Ian Gillan.

Histoire

Après son départ de Deep Purple en 1973, Ian Gillan se lance dans diverses aventures commerciales qui échouent toutes. Au bord de la banqueroute, il se voit conseiller de revenir à la musique, ce qu'il fait en 1975 en recrutant le guitariste Ray Fenwick, le bassiste John Gustafson, le claviériste Mike Moran et le batteur Mark Nauseef (ex-Elf). Son nouveau groupe, alors appelé « Shand Grenade », fait ses débuts sur la scène du Royal Albert Hall le , à l'occasion du concert The Butterfly Ball.

Rebaptisé « Ian Gillan Band », le groupe donne des concerts en Europe et aux États-Unis au printemps 1976 et enregistre son premier album, Child in Time, avec l'aide de Roger Glover, un autre ex-Purple. Après sa sortie, Mike Moran est remplacé par un autre ex-Elf, Micky Lee Soule, qui laisse à son tour la place à Colin Towns pour le deuxième album du groupe, Clear Air Turbulence (1977). Son troisième et dernier disque, Scarabus, sort la même année.

La musique expérimentale du Ian Gillan Band déroute les anciens fans de Deep Purple et, en pleine explosion du mouvement punk, ne parvient pas à convaincre les foules. Après un dernier concert au Marquee Club le , les chemins des musiciens se séparent. Seul Colin Towns reste aux côtés de Ian Gillan pour la suite : la naissance du groupe Gillan, d'orientation résolument hard rock, qui connaîtra le succès qui s'était refusé au Ian Gillan Band.

Q: Unexpected token error while json parsing for string containing special characters On trying to parse the following string on titanium Studio for mobile app project, I get the
error:
Unexpected token at profileSkills":"Analysis
des='[{"jobId":0,"jobPositionName":"NA","companyId":0,"companyDisplayName":"NA","profileSkills":"Analysis\r\nAnalysis\r\nQuality Assurance\r\nProject Management\r\nProgrammer Analyst\r\n"}]';
desjson=JSON.parse(des);

Can anyone help me , whether I can parse strings containing escape charaters using JSON.
If not, could you tell me the procedure to it.

A: You need to encode the special characters with double-backslashes, because the JSON parser will expect them to be escaped.
var des='[{"jobId":0,"jobPositionName":"NA","companyId":0,"companyDisplayName":"NA","profileSkills":"Analysis\\r\\nAnalysis\\r\\nQuality Assurance\\r\\nProject Management\\r\\nProgrammer Analyst\\r\\n"}]';

If you are actually declaring the JSON string as a JavaScript string literal, then you have to account for the fact that when the JavaScript parser sees those escaped characters, it'll build a string with the real carriage return and line feed characters.  The JSON parser coming along after that won't like them.
If, on the other hand, your JSON is really coming from a server, then the JSON "on the wire" should not have doubled backslashes.
I should also note that there's rarely any reason to put a JSON string as a literal in JavaScript code. It might as well be a JavaScript object literal, in most cases. (I acknowledge that there might be some reason for it, of course.)

A: You have two \r\ in the string, that should be \r\n. Change those, and it validates as correct JSON.
