SCENE Magazine, a luxury society and fashion publication hosted a debut celebration party for the extravagant INSTRATA Lifestyle Residences at Mercedes House located on 550 West 54th Street in New York City.
Strata at Mercedes House was conceived and designed by world renowned architect Enrique Norten. The building's wedding cake design allows many homes to have their own private outdoor space for the perfect view of the city and Hudson River.
INSTRATA includes 900 rental apartments across 4 prestigious locations at Brooklyn Heights, Gramercy, Nomad and of course Mercedes House. INSTRATA strives to raise the expectations of what defines the modern luxury rental apartment in New York.
Fashionable guests, including SCENE magazine's Editor-in-Chief Peter Davis mingled and enjoyed the incredible views of the city. It was a perfect Summer day. The sun illuminated the outdoor space and there was just the right amount of wind to give you supermodel hair when the Patrick McMullan photographer snapped your photo.
Guests were treated to hors d' oeuvres and stylish cocktails by Magnifico Giornata. Italian for "Magnificent Day," Magnifico Giornata is infused with subtle essences of Lavender Honey, Ginger Pêche or Grapefruit Blanc. My personal favorite was the Lavender Honey.
I wore my favorite bright yellow Lilly Pulitzer shift dress. You can't really tell from the photo but the bottom of the dress has a lasered like design which is decorated with shiny yellow sequins.
My friend Alex introduced me to his fabulous friend Joshua Pino, the founder of Humanity Indigena.
Humanity Indigena works towards the preservation of the cultural heritage of Peru and promotion of global awareness through high quality artisan works.
Joshua has quite an interesting and inspiring story. He is the son of a Peruvian orphan who became a missionary, helping the millions of South American people in need, specifically Peru. With Joshua's roots inherently tied to third world countries, it is his personal desire to contribute to the cultural heritage of Peru.
The Humanity™ Bracelet is at the forefront of his philanthropic efforts and 100% of its sales go to help stimulate Peruvian micro economies.
Check out humanityindigena.com to learn more.
Thanks so much to my lovely friend Alex for letting me know about this fabulous event. I mention this in every post with us together but you're truly such a fashion plate! I look forward to many more soirees with you, darling. Can't wait to see what you wear next!
SCENE Magazine's party for INSTRATA was definitely one of the crème de la crèmes of events this Summer. Check out more of my party snaps below!

Scrabble Added 300 Long-Awaited New Words to Its Official Dictionary
By Cady Lang
Updated: September 24, 2018 3:20 PM ET | Originally published: September 24, 2018 11:08 AM EDT
Scrabble enthusiasts will have 300 new words added to the Scrabble dictionary to up their game, thanks to the sixth edition of the popular board game.
The latest edition, which was released on Monday, added long-awaited words like "OK" and ew" to the vetted Scrabble lexicon, something that fans of the game won't take for granted according to Merriam-Webster (which publishes The Official Scrabble Players Dictionary) editor at large Peter Sokolowski in an interview with USA Today.
"OK is something Scrabble players have been waiting for, for a long time," Sokolowski said. "Basically two- and three-letter words are the lifeblood of the game."
It's been four years since the last time new words were added to the game's canon and the measures to approve new words for this edition were taken very seriously. Merriam-Webster was advised by the North American Scrabble Players Association for this edition; the dictionary company has been making official Scrabble dictionaries since 1976.
See more of the newly-approved words in the updated official Scrabble dictionary below and here for the full list.
Arancini: balls of cooked rice
Beatdown: an overwhelming defeat
Bestie: a person who someone likes very much
Bizjet: a small airplane used for business
Ew: used to express disgust
Frowny: showing a frown
OK: approval, endorsement
Qapik: a variant of gopik, "a monetary subunit of the manat (Azerbainan)"
Twerk: to dance by shaking the buttocks while squatting
Zomboid: resembling zombies

Q: bash monitoring file with tail including ability to switch file dynamically? I have a script that monitors a log file line by line and pushes values retrieved elsewhere (eg to a graph app). However the log file name and/or path may change around midnight, eg due to app log rotation (not unix log rotation) and the App's EOD procedure.
For example a log file under /path/to/log/20191018/log.txt could switch to /path/to/log/20191019/log.txt
What would be the best approach to handle such case in the script ? e.g. to make tail command to start following a new file ?
tail -f "$file" | while read line
do case "$line" in
        *"a_string"*) do_something
         ;;
        ...
        ...
    esac
done

A: The basic problem is that your script, as it stands, has no way to know that the log rotation has happened. You could wrap your log parser in a child process and have the parent monitor the directories for new files, but that requires some assumptions, as well as some complicated process/file monitoring logic.
I generally prefer "notification" mechanisms over "polling" mechanisms, so a clean solution to this problem would be to have the log rotation mechanism restart your script when the file changes. If you are using logrotate and are allowed to modify its configuration, then this can be done by simply adding a postrotate entry to the appropriate configuration file:
/path/to/monitored/directory {
    ...
    postrotate
        /usr/bin/killall myscript
        /path/to/myscript
    endscript
}

Q: Is there a way to deserialize an unknown object with a DescriptorProto? I want to find a way to deserialize an unknown object with a DescriptorProto. When I serialize a Person, it's not a problem because I know its type. But when I deserialize, I don't know the type of object I receive so how with DescriptorProto, which define the structure of the proto, I can create an object like an ExpandObject?
This is my class :
    class Person
    {
        [ProtoMember(1)]
        public int Id { get; set; }
        [ProtoMember(2)]
        public string Name { get; set; }
    }

I create an object Person with some values, serialize it and create my .proto :
var person = new Person
{
   Id = 12345,
   Name = "Fred"
};
using (var file = File.Create(@"C:\temp\protobuf\person.bin"))
{
   Serializer.Serialize(file, person);
   file.SetLength(file.Position);
}
string proto = Serializer.GetProto<Person>();
File.WriteAllText(@"C:\temp\protobuf\person.proto", proto);

After i create my FileDescriptor with this following command line :
protoc.exe person.proto --descriptor_set_out=person.pb

Finally i want to deserialize my person.bin with the description of person.pb like this :
byte[] payload = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(@"C:\temp\protobuf\person.pb");
FileDescriptorSet fileDescriptorSet = FileDescriptorSet.ParseFrom(payload);
FileDescriptorProto fileDescriptorProto = fileDescriptorSet.GetFile(0);
DescriptorProto requestDescriptor = fileDescriptorProto.GetMessageType(0);

/**
             requestDescriptor :

            {name: "Person"
                field {
                  name: "Id"
                  number: 1
                  label: LABEL_OPTIONAL
                  type: TYPE_INT32
                  default_value: "0"
                }
                field {
                  name: "Name"
                  number: 2
                  label: LABEL_OPTIONAL
                  type: TYPE_STRING
                }
             }

             **/

object youhou;
using (var file = File.OpenRead(@"C:\temp\protobuf\person.bin"))
{
    //youhou = Serializer.Deserialize<Person>(file);
    // I don't know **Person** so i can't do this
}

At first, I wanted to create a Dictionary of string, object instead of Person but it's impossible to serialize it.

A: I'm answering this specifically from the perspective of protobuf-net (tags); if you use the Google C# API, things will be different.
There's a couple of different things here; protobuf-net does not currently have an API to load things specifically taking a descriptor, however! It  does have an Extensible base class which can be used to deserialize any arbitrary payload, along with the static methods on Extensible such as Extensible.GetValue<int>(1). So; that gives you the ability to read (or write) an arbitrary payload. You might need to create a non-abstract class to play with, but class Foo : Extensible {} should suffice, then Serializer.Deserialize<Foo>(source).
So; the second part is how to parse a descriptor. For that, see the protobuf-net.Reflection package. This includes the usual descriptor types you would expect, including FileDescriptorSet, so: you can use protobuf-net's regular Serializer.Deserialize<FileDescriptorSet>(source) to get a descriptor-set, from which you can pull apart the model in the usual way and discover the properties, to use with Extensible.

Why is Eggplant Called Eggplant?
by admin May 9, 2022 May 9, 2022 0363
Have you ever wondered why is eggplant called "eggplant"? Today we'll find out the answer to this question.
If you're like me, you love eggplants. They are a great source of vitamins and fiber and are loaded with antioxidants. Plus, they make lovely additions to soups, salads, and other recipes. They're even delicious as a snack! So today, I'm going to tell you why is eggplant called an eggplant.
The History of Eggplant
What Does Eggplant Look Like?
How Is Eggplant Harvested?
Eggplant Nutrition Facts
Eggplant, also known as an aborigine, is a nightshade family member. It's believed that eggplant originated in India, but it was also found in Egypt and the Middle East.
It was first introduced to the west by the Spanish in the 15th century. At the time, it was called "Spanish eggplant," and the name stuck.
There are two varieties of eggplant: the regular and the long. The wide variety is the most popular in the U.S.
Eggplant, the edible fruit of the nightshade plant, is also known as aubergine, brinjal, and 'eggplant' in English. The name is believed to have come from the Ancient Greek word agoumenos, which means "egg-shaped" or "oblong."
The eggplant is a popular food in many countries. It is used as a vegetable and as a flavoring in cuisines worldwide. Eggplant is available in many different varieties.
The most common types are Italian, long and slender with thin skin and a sweet flavor, and Japanese, which are round, elliptical, or oval and have a bitter taste. Eggplants are not only delicious, but they are also very nutritious. They are very high in vitamins A, B6, and C and contain potassium, calcium, and iron. Eggplants are also a good source of fiber, protein, and carbohydrates.
Although the eggplant has a name that may sound intimidating, it is easy to identify.
The eggplant looks like a dark, glossy purple ball. The stem is skinny, and the leaves are flat. The shape is very similar to a golf ball.
The eggplant is grown for its tasty, meaty pulp.
Eggplant is a member of the family Solanaceae, including tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, and tobacco.
Eggplant is native to Africa, India, and the Middle East.
However, this is not to say that it is not easy to harvest. You will have to start your harvesting process by removing the entire plant, including the roots. You will have to wait for the plant to dry out. Once this has been done, you will have to peel the skin off the eggplant. You mustn't remove the skin too soon. You will have to wait until the skin has dried out completely.
Once you have peeled the skin off the eggplant, you will have to remove the stem.
This will help you in preparing the eggplant for cooking. If you use the eggplant for cooking, you must wash the eggplant thoroughly. This will make sure that there are no seeds or dirt on the surface of the eggplant. You should also make sure that the eggplant is dehydrated before cooking it.
If you use the eggplant for baking, you will have to ensure that it is scorched. The eggplant should be dehydrated to absorb the fat from the butter. If you will be using the eggplant for baking, then it is best to use the oven. You should also ensure that you leave the eggplant to soak in a bowl of water for about 30 minutes before cooking it.
This will help remove any dirt or debris on the surface of the eggplant. You will also have to make sure that you peel the skin off the eggplant before cooking it. Just like you would remove the skin of a tomato, the skin should be removed. You mustn't remove the skin too soon.
Eggplant is an excellent source of fiber, protein, and carbohydrates. It is also an excellent source of vitamin A, vitamin B6, vitamin C, iron, calcium, and potassium. The eggplant is an excellent source of protein. It is also an excellent source of dietary fiber. The eggplant is an excellent source of vitamin A.
Vitamin B6, vitamin C, iron, calcium, and potassium are also present in eggplants. Eggplant contains about 5 grams of protein per 100 grams. The eggplant has no cholesterol. Eggplants are very low in fat and calories. They are rich in dietary fiber. Eggplants have high water content and are very low in sodium. You can also read our detailed blog about eggplant nutritional value here.
Eggplant has a rich, nutty flavor and is a versatile vegetable. It can be eaten raw, baked, sautéed, or stir-fried. Eggplant is a great source of potassium and vitamin B6.
There are several ways to prepare eggplant. You can slice it, dice it, chop it, or puree it. You can even use it as a pasta substitute.
When preparing eggplant, be sure to wash it well. The dirt from the soil can make it bitter and not as tasty. You can also cut it into cubes or slices and soak it in water for 30 minutes to help remove any bitterness.
The eggplant was named for its shape and the Greek word 'oino,' which means egg, due to its resemblance to an egg.
The fruit was also called the 'American vegetable' because Italian immigrants introduced it to North America in the 1800s.
In the United States, it has also been nicknamed the 'poor man's meatball' due to its popularity with ethnic minorities as a substitute for meat in traditional Italian dishes. Despite its name, it is not related to the actual eggplant native to South America.

The mission of the Ph.D. Program in Linguistics is to train students to pursue research and teach in the areas of general linguistics and a chosen subfield. The Ph.D. in Linguistics at USC typically involves a much broader range of coursework than what is found at more traditional Linguistics Departments and Programs in the United States. The program does not focus on the training of theoretical linguists, but instead sees its mission as that of training historical linguists, language acquisition specialists, sociolinguists, and others, who can apply linguistic theory to the pursuit of their research. Thus, it is typical for a student in this program to use current syntactic theory in investigations into language contact or language variation, or to apply phonological theory to research on second language acquisition.
The Ph.D. course requirements (see degree requirements) involve six core courses, plus a primary field of study of at least 12 hours, and either a secondary field of 9-12 hours or at least 9 hours breadth requirement outside the primary field. Approved special fields are the following: linguistic anthropology, English/French/German/Spanish linguistics, historical linguistics, philosophy of language, phonological theory, psycholinguistics, second/foreign language acquisition, sociolinguistics, syntactic theory, and teaching English as a second/foreign language.
The secondary field may consist entirely of LING-designated courses; however, it also could include both LING-designated courses and courses from other departments. A student may also choose a secondary field made up entirely of courses from a cooperating department. Examples include English Composition and Rhetoric, Medieval and Early Modern English Literature, Experimental Psychology, Philosophy, or Communication Sciences and Disorders. It is possible for all credit hours earned in a graduate certificate program in TESOL at USC to apply to this degree. Please speak to an advisor to see how these hours apply in your situation.
Students will demonstrate knowledge of theory and research in core areas of linguistics. Success at the Program level would be achieved for this outcome if at least 75% of students scored in the positive range (a score from 1-3) on the measures used to evaluate their performance.
Students will demonstrate advanced knowledge in a subdiscipline in the field of linguistics. Success at the Program level would be achieved for this outcome if at least 75% of students scored in the positive range (a score from 1-3) on the measures used to evaluate their performance.
Students will demonstrate the ability to formulate and conduct a plan of linguistic research that advances the state of knowledge in the area of inquiry. Success at the Program level would be achieved for this outcome if at least 75% of students scored in the positive range (a score from 1-3) on the measures used to evaluate their performance. With respect to professional presentations and publications, we would hope to see every student (100%) publishing and/or presenting at least a couple of times prior to graduation. However, there is no set number of such publications/ presentations that we require. Some students will be more successful than others and have multiple such presentations/ publications by the time they graduate.
Students will progress through the program in a timely manner and find suitable employment in the field of linguistics (or in a profession where their linguistic skills are being meaningfully used) at the completion of their doctoral degree. Success at the Program level would be achieved for this outcome if 75% of our students had some sort of degree related permanent job placement at graduation and 100% had such placements three years out from graduation.
Three more graduate level core linguistics courses in one of phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, or pragmatics, exclusive of LING 600 - Survey of Linguistics . Other courses may be used to satisfy this requirement pending the approval of the student's advisor and the graduate director.
Students who proceed from the MA to the PhD will need to take one more course to satisfy the PhD core requirement if LING 600 was counted as an MA core requirement.
Ph.D. students should take at least 4 courses (12 credit hours) in an area approved by the student's Ph.D. committee.
Students may decide on a secondary field in which they will take course work of at least 9 credit hours but no more than 12 credit hours. Alternatively, students who do not wish to declare a secondary field will take course work in Linguistics outside of their primary field of at least nine hours.
Students are required to take at least 1 and up to 2 approved methodology courses. Approved courses include any Linguistic methodology course, in addition to the following courses offered by other departments: BIOS 700(J), EDRM 710, EDRM 711, PSYC 709, PSYC 710, STAT 515, STAT 516.
Up to 6 credit hours approved by the program, in elective LING courses. Additional credit hours may be taken in coursework approved by the student's Ph.D. committee.
completing 6 hours of coursework in a non Indo-European language with a grade of at least a B.
The secondary field may consist entirely of LING-designated courses; however, it also could include both LING-designated courses and courses from other departments. A student may also choose a secondary field made up entirely of courses from a cooperating department.
Students must pass a qualifying examination as part of the procedure for admission to candidacy. Students must pass a comprehensive examination and defend a dissertation proposal. The candidate must prepare and defend a dissertation on an approved topic.


Designed to provide natural and fluent exercise motion, the R-400 rowing machine lets you target your upper body, arms, legs and abdominals. It has an 11kg (24.2lbs) flywheel for smooth action and 16 levels of air-magnetic resistance system to help you find the right intensity for each session. The air resistance element ensures a natural rowing feel, whereas the magnetic element allows the R-400 to provide a higher level of resistance than that available on air-only rowers. For monitoring your progress, there is a large, clear angle and tilt adjustable console and 4 user profiles allow for a more personalised feedback. Programme wise, the machine offers a manual one, 12 pre-set programmes, one HRC programme and two user-defined options and it features a race mode for more challenge and variety. Thanks to an extra-long double seating rail, the R-400 is suitable for even the tallest of rowing enthusiasts and has a large, contoured seat for enhanced comfort when exercising. Plus, with a space-saving folding design, the machine can be quickly and easily stored upright.


what about... cow milking? is still worth it? i guess wouldnt take that much time right?
good option too, i thought about that, but it really makes good profit?
woah, really good investment ty!
So recently I'm having problems to spend all my energy, I have like 7 or 8 alts and, I'm currently using all the energy (even from my main) on node investment, but I have the feeling that using it on somethin elese would be better. The problem is that nothing out of gathering spends energy, and I'm not seeing myself spending all my time on doing gathering with all my characters.
So were do u sped ur energy guys? Any recomendation?
well, that was i was thinking on doing: Velia for cooking (i have an alt there with good proficiency on cooking), calph/heidel for daylies and altinova for end game content.
u mean using the transport? its not that too much expensive?

Gazing into the fresh glow of The Cathode Ray with Jeremy Thoms
Photo and copyright Peter Tainsh
2015 has provided many treats this year and definitely amongst them was the latest and second album Infinite Variety from Scottish indie band The Cathode Ray. It was an encounter embracing the nostalgia of the eighties through fresh and inventive escapades bred of the now. One of the band's founders is Jeremy Thoms, he also the man behind the great indie label Stereogram Recordings, and someone who to describe as busy is a big understatement. Nevertheless, Jeremy kindly gave us a chunk of his time to talk about the album, The Cathode Ray itself from top to bottom and more, including an insight to his own musical loves…
Hi Jeremy and many thanks for giving us your time to talk with us.
Ever late to the party, we discovered The Cathode Ray through your new album Infinite Variety which came out a couple of months or so ago to, it is fair to say, swift acclaim. In a music world where it seems increasingly harder to actually get people to part with money or indeed offer full attention to things, did you have any particular expectations or hopes for its unveiling or is it more anything is a bonus for bands right now?
We didn't have any expectations other than hoping that those who had liked the first album would stay with us for the second. We knew we'd made a good follow up album but, as you say, in an environment when it's very hard to engage with people, nothing is guaranteed.

Originally the band was just you and Paul Haig, famed for Josef-K and his own solo career. The press release for the album suggests this was not originally intended to be a serious band project but a writing collaboration. Was that the case and what brought Paul's involvement to an end?
Paul definitely just saw it as a writing collaboration – "a bit of fun" was one his quotes – with group recordings just being made to illustrate them. However, the reaction to them was so positive, one thing lead to another and I pushed for it to become a band and take it more seriously, which Paul wasn't happy with so eventually he left. What confused matters in the press and public eye was that Neil, David and I were his backing band when he did a solo tour in 2008. However the emphasis then was completely on his solo work, and he had no intention of being a member of a band again after Josef K, which in the end we had to respect.
The double 'A' sided single What's It All About? /Mind was released in 2006; I believe this was meant as a one off release?
Not initially but it ended up like that. Certainly with Paul participating. When we made the agreement with Pronoia Records in 2006, the album had been recorded with Paul's full participation, but by the time we got around to discussing getting it released he had changed his mind. So he asked us to remove his lead vocals, which we did, although some of his guitar and backing vocals do remain on the first album.
At what point did that spark the appetite to push things further; as a full band and with more releases?
The point that changed everything was bumping into Steve Fraser at a TV21 album launch in 2009. I told him what had happened and he was keen to get involved. The minute we started talking music I knew he was the man. We didn't even bother with an audition. I knew the songs were strong enough to survive without Paul's involvement. That opened so many doors, being able to play live (which Paul would never have done as The Cathode Ray) and generally move things on after quite a difficult start.
Were some of you all already old friends and maybe previously worked together before uniting for The Cathode Ray we know today?
Neil Baldwin and I have known each other for 34 years (!) and have played in bands together intermittently since 1986. David Mack and I had been working together since 2000 so, yes, there was a certain chemistry. Steve was the "new boy" although we'd all known him on the Edinburgh scene previously.
I have to admit for once, and not intentionally, I read about the band and its background before hearing a note for a review, and to be honest once seeing a list of previous projects for members of the band which had been indelible pleasures in my personal soundtrack, subsequently luring a revisit to old favourites records after finishing the review too, there was an increased anticipation and eagerness to explore the band and album. Do you think having your musical histories has helped draw awareness to the band or not?
Well obviously there's going to be a certain amount of that, but I do believe, hopefully without sounding conceited, that The Cathode Ray is more than the sum of its parts. But initially I guess it did help getting people interested through our various previous involvements.
There were whiffs of all some of your previous bands at times across the songs and often nostalgia blessed air of Infinite Variety, The Bluebells and Scars maybe most notably in our ears. You are a band unafraid to draw on previous adventures and spices to hone new and fresh exploits, as potently shown on the album?
The songs that I write aren't consciously drawing on any of our past exploits, but I guess where you've come from does influence where you're going. In any case, it's probably coincidental, as Steve only toured with The Scars as a depping bassist so wasn't involved in their creative process, while Neil only contributed to arrangements with The Bluebells. But inevitably, as we all come from that post-punk background, some of the sounds and styles of these bands are going to rub off.
How would you say The Cathode Ray has evolved over time and specifically between Infinite Variety and its predecessor, your self-titled debut album?
I would say the vague initial brief of merging post-punk Manchester with New York has simply broadened to the point where I regard ourselves now as a band that isn't easy to pin down musically. Our original press release mentioned 60's Garage, Soundtracks and Northern soul, to which one critic added Psychedelia, Glam-Rock, Euro-Disco, Krautrock and 90's Alternative Pop when reviewing Infinite Variety. So it is definitely evolving. I'm currently demoing material for the next album and there's even more interesting musical areas I'd like to explore. It's good to surprise people.
Give us some insight into the thoughts and intentions going into the writing and recording of Infinite Variety? Do you build a release on particular aims or ideas or predominantly let things organically evolve?
Things do tend to evolve organically. If you put too much pre-conceived thought into it, the music loses its spontaneity. Although I suppose one particular aim is not to repeat ourselves. Each album needs to be a significant progression from the previous one, so a certain degree of thought does go into that. Also, apart from melodies and lyrics, I'm always interested in rhythms and try to be as adventurous and varied as possible in that area too.
We described the album as a "kaleidoscope of fun, sound, and adventure", a fair hint we think at the array of flavours and inventive spices fuelling and shaping the songs within Infinite Variety. In the hands of many bands it might be an incoherent mix, but you manage to seamlessly blend all spices and individual characters of songs perfectly. Where do you and the band start when composing songs?
Well I compose the songs and demo them first with the key riffs, chord progressions, lyrics etc. all in place. At that stage they often do sound fairly disparate. I then present them to the band in the rehearsal room and that's when it starts to sound like The Cathode Ray. Steve, Neil and Dave all contribute parts and arrangements until we arrive at the finished article. Some songs like The Eyes Are The Window took a long time to come together and changed quite considerably from my original demo. Others end up fairly similar to the original template, but all manage to sound cohesive owing to the fact it's the four of us playing them, I guess.
The album's tracks manage to be rich and at times expansive in texture and flavour yet also 'slim', i.e. no excess baggage or indulgence. They manage to be an open evolution from your first album but also reveal a bolder leap in aural colour and character; how do you hear their relevance to older propositions as one of their creators?
Well obviously it's difficult to be completely objective about something you've created yourself, but I see their place in relation to the first album as a natural progression. The leap in colour and texture which you describe is simply a way of moving the band forward, without cluttering things up unnecessarily. You use the word 'slim' and I suppose that comes in at the production stage – cutting off any excess fat!
How long in the making from first note to paper or thought through to last note laid down was the album?
The boundaries are always blurred as we always tend to have songs left over which were either written too late to make the cut or simply didn't fit at the time. For example, This Force Of Nature had its origins as a completely different song dating way back to 2006. It had never sounded right so was left on the shelf. I went back to it in 2014 writing new lyrics and melodies and it quickly came together then. Eureka Moment and Buck the Trend were written in 2009 when Steve first joined. But the bulk of I.V. was written and recorded between 2012 and 2014 – around two and half years.
Our review stated spices of bands from around the eighties as rewarding aspects but over time sixties/seventies tones have emerged. I sense your own inspirations and musical loves go far back?
Oh yes – my musical tastes stretch way back! How long have you got? Songwriters have always been key to me. From Lennon & McCartney, Brian Wilson, Smokey Robinson, Jimmy Webb and Bacharach & David, through Dylan, Stevie Wonder, Scott Walker, Al Green, Bowie, Joni Mitchell, Robert Wyatt and Neil Young to Costello, Paddy MacAloon and Rufus Wainwright, the song is always key. Then there's the bands I love – The Stones, The Velvets, The Doors, Faces, Roxy, Yes, Kraftwerk, Television, Talking Heads, Buzzcocks, Chic, Wire, Magazine, Pretenders, Joy Division, Dexys, Scritti Politti; Cocteaus, Talk Talk, Teenage Fanclub, High Llamas, Flaming Lips… the list goes on.
There is no mistaking that Scottish bands and rock 'n' roll of all styles and design bred there, has something unique to it, and we could go on a long list of examples. Can you define what it is in 'the

water' which helps breed such distinctive and so often inspirational bands from that part of the UK, as ones yourselves?
I think there's an open-mindedness up here. Maybe Scottish bands tend to draw from a wider pool of influences than other parts of the UK. Or maybe it's to do with being distanced from what's happening down south – even in the age of the internet. It's certainly true that scenes of their own do seem to crop up here around labels like Postcard, Fast, 53rd & 3rd, Creeping Bent and, possibly, our label Stereogram too, which has attracted similar kindred literate spirits. Either that or we all seem to be obsessed with the Velvet Underground!
What comes next for The Cathode Ray?
Firstly, we've got two more live shows coming up this year as part of The Stereogram Revue in Edinburgh and Glasgow, plus a new track called It Takes One To Know One on a compilation album. Then there's a new video shot earlier this year at the Kings Theatre in Edinburgh by Jez Curnow to go with Saving Grace, our other featured track on the comp. After that we'll be knuckling down to working on the follow up to Infinite Variety. I've got five or six new songs written and demoed, plus a couple of leftovers, so we'll be getting on with them. Expect some new directions.
Your releases come out on Stereogram Recordings, your own label which seems to have out grown and blossomed far more than its original intent I believe. Can you tell us a little about it and what is ahead for the label too?
It has indeed outgrown its original intent which was simply to facilitate a release for the first Cathode Ray album, plus any other projects (The Fabulous Artisans) or archive material I had kicking about. But over the last couple of years it has been growing steadily with first Roy Moller signing up, followed by James King & The Lonewolves, Milton Star, St. Christopher Medal, Lola in Slacks and, Band Of Holy Joy. The critical and public response has been great which is hugely encouraging. As previously mentioned, we're rounding off the year with two Revue shows which will feature the entire roster in some form or other (minus Milton Star who don't have a live set up at present). These gigs will be accompanied by The Sound of Stereogram, a budget compilation in the spirit of New Wave in '77 or Pillows and Prayers in '82, featuring both new and old tracks from all eight acts on the label. Next year promises some new signings plus new material from the existing acts.
My big thanks to you again for chatting with us; have you anything you would like to add?
Nothing to add except thanks very much for your support over the last year.
Lastly and looking at band's influences on your Facebook profile, a list of bands littering my own record collection I have to say, can you indulge me and give us a few of the bands/records which inspired you to get into music and then as a musician push yourself further?
Well I've already mentioned a whole bunch of artists who've inspired me, so here's some records that have been key: "With The Beatles"; "Motown Chartbusters Vol.3"; "Pet Sounds"; "Piper at The Gates of Dawn"; "Forever Changes"; "Loaded"; "Scott 4"; "What's Going On"; "Exile On Main Street"; "Never A Dull Moment"; "Close To The Edge"; "Aladdin Sane"; "Houses Of The Holy"; "Quadrophenia"; "Rock Bottom"; "Country Life"; "Zuma"; "Songs In The Key Of Life"; "Trans Europe Express"; "Marquee Moon"; "My Aim Is True"; "Never Mind The Bollocks"; "Risque"; "All Mod Cons"; "Love Bites"; "Fear Of Music"; "Closer"; "The Correct Use Of Soap"; "You Can't Hide Your Love Forever"; "Rattlesnakes"; "Steve McQueen"; "Don't Stand Me Down". Again the list goes on…

Heyrocco – Teenage Movie Soundtrack
With the release of recent single Elsewhere a sparkling lure to its impending arrival, Teenage Movie Soundtrack has answered the suggestiveness of its lead song and shows itself as an even greater enticement of the promise soaking that lone song of a few weeks back. The debut album from US angst poppers Heyrocco, the ten track encounter is a diverse and magnetic party for ears which weaves the teen angst sounds and emotions of the nineties, the guitar jangle of early Cure, and the dirtier tones of grunge into something unique from the imagination of the band. This still only scratches the surface really but the ultimate result is a release which sounds familiar, nostalgic, and thoroughly fresh, not forgetting highly enjoyable.
Hailing from Charleston, N. Carolina, Heyrocco consists of vocalist/guitarist Nate Merli, bassist Chris Cool, and drummer Tanner Cooper, a trio who has been constantly and increasingly stirring up attention on both sides of the pond since forming around five years ago. Teenage Movie Soundtrack is the band's largest and strongest nudge on ears and appetites since forming and it starts with a bang through opener Loser Denial.
Guitar and vocals immediately pour their rich expression on ears, the pairing already hinting at the hues of a Weezer which only gets intensified as the song slips into a ripe stroll of rumbling bass, eager beats, and a spicy guitar clang. It is also instantly wrapped in pure infectiousness, a trait invading the whole of the album from hereon in. Virulently increasing in energy and captivating endeavour as it heads towards its riotous finale, the track is an exhilarating start to the release, leaving the listener in an agitated state eager for more, which comes courtesy of the heavier but no less compelling Melt. The air and presence of the song is thicker in emotional intensity but still retains the alluring catchiness of its predecessor, and indeed that same seeding of alternative rock/power pop for its own tempestuously inventive and at times perfectly imposing presence.
The grunge fuelled Virgin comes next, its opening minimalistic croon leading to thick and voracious Nirvana-esque explosions. It is an alluring cycle which is on repeat across a track which dramatically seduces and enslaves ears and emotions. There is no escaping the decade and bands inspiring the invention of Heyrocco or the ability of the threesome to twist them into ravenous incitements of raw and incendiary pop, as proven again by the lighter revelry of Elsewhere. Its opening jangle of hooks and invitational vocals is irresistible bait especially with its whisper of discord, a success eclipsed once the dark tones of bass and subsequent scythes of guitar court the potent variety of vocals across the band. Spiralling melodies and welcoming harmonies continue to exploit the submission given to the song's charms, even as the outstanding encounter stirs up its creative intensity and volatile shadows to grow into an even bolder and muscular proposal.
A calm of sorts arrives next with the warm caress and enterprise of Mom Jeans, its rhythmic tempting and swinging pop gait a reserved but energetic festival of smouldering reflection and vivacious light locking ears and thoughts into eager attention. The almost sultry embrace of the song is replicated in many ways by First Song, though its tenacious balladry made up with livelier energy and melodies has more of a Costello/Petty-esque feel to it. Compared to previous tracks it takes longer to tempt and never quite manages to spark the same thrills whilst casting its pleasurable persuasion, but it certainly reveals more to the potential soaked depth and diversity in songwriting and sound within Heyrocco.
Alison brings a fiery blaze to ears next; its fuzzy textures and sizzling air colouring a cauldron of angst laden expression and melodic infectiousness bound in searing psych pop enterprise which in turn is equipped with pleasure gripping hooks. The track sizzles on the senses but is soon outshine by the even greater temptation of Jake Miller's House Party. From its initial blast of spicy grooves and anthemic rhythms aligned to a thick lure of a bassline, imagination casts images of being bound in the throes of heaving bodies bouncing to the song's puppeteer like tempting. You can picture a video for it straight away, energies and limbs moving in tandem even as the song relaxes a touch from its kinetic start for the great tones of Merli. A stomp of grunge hued rock 'n' roll, the song's seamless flow through controlled and frantic crescendos is as magnetic as the web of invention and flavoursome hooks running incessantly through what proves to be the best track on the album.
The skilful Cure like hug of Santa Fe (Stupid Lovesong) is another which takes it's time to convince, but eventually its laid back melody cast serenade simply leaves ears smiling whilst closing track Happy with its heavier rock croon ensures the release closes as potently as it began.
As so many, the band's last single was our introduction to Heyrocco and there is no doubting they thrilled. Now Teenage Movie Soundtrack shows that it was no a flash in the pan but even more that it was just one strong essence in the band's full sound and inventive presence. The additional excitement bred by the album is that you get the feeling this it only the beginning in their creative journey, just a scratching of the surface.
Teenage Movie Soundtrack is released on July 10th via Vital Music Group

Hatcham Social – About Girls
An album that fluctuates from excellence to brilliance, About Girls from Hatcham Social is a vibrant and fully engaging feast of pleasure and creativity. The second album from the UK alternative band is a full meal for the senses with starters of inviting hypnotic hooks, a full course of deep stirring ingenuity and a dessert of delicious melodic treats. The release is a completely infectious collection of thirteen impressive and deliriously uplifting songs revelling in a wealth of imaginative and heartfelt songwriting.
The London based quartet first drew firm attention with their debut album You Dig The Tunnel, I'll Hide The Soil of 2009, receiving album of the week or month status in the likes of Vice, NME, and Artrocker. Now with a revamped line-up of Toby Kidd (guitar/vocals), Finn Kidd (drums), David Fineberg (bass) and Jerome Watson (synth/guitar) the band look set to grab even stronger and further acclaim once About Girls released through Fierce Panda unveils its irresistible charms upon the masses.
The album simply ripples with pulsating melodic and mesmeric ingenuity from start to finish, often bringing a familiarity that nestles very happily within the ear. The songs are all fresh and unique but come like old heart borne friends to make the album an instantaneous pleasure to fall within. The band has an instinctive feel and grasp on catchy melodies and hooks that avoid cheap tricks and obvious lures to pull in the sense. Hatcham Social alongside the likes of JacksonsWarehouse and Innercity Pirates have an organic touch which takes the listener on an exhilarating ride to reveal new 'sights' along aural journeys other artists have made bland.
NY Girl opens up proceedings with a deep pulsating bass vein throbbing behind incisive attention seeking guitars. The song is a dirty garage slice of indie rock 'n' roll that drips a confidence to its swagger and highly charged sound. The song starts things off with a formidable intensity and might that actually belies the following variety of essential sounds to come. Having opened up ears and grabbed full focus from the senses the band step back into the crystalline melodic grace of Nicola Tells Me next. Carrying a Lloyd Cole/Josef K like retro sound the song sways with cascades of firebug light and touching warmth.
Within two songs the diversity of the band has been unveiled something the album repeatedly impresses with. The likes of the wonderful Lois Lane with its mesmeric stomp, the contagious Like An Animal a song you simply cannot resist joining in with, and the dynamic Little Savage all take the emotions on an eager and fulfilled dance. The glory of the album does not stop there, the band giving extra keen flavours with songs like the scintillating I Look Like A God When You Dance with its striking Tom Petty feel and the Costelloesque All Summer Long. From beginning to its last dynamic note, About Girls is a real deep pleasure which is hard to leave even once it has left you.
For all the great sounds and creativity on the album the highlight is the simply breath taking track Would You. The song is stunning, an enthused infection that wraps itself joyful around the ear and beyond. With rambling guitars, playful rhythms and expressive vocals all leading to the anthemic chorus surrounded by glittering electronic bedazzlements, the song is a summer stroll for the heart.
Hatcham Social has in About Girls released the soundtrack for your emotions, a weave of dazzling light and inspired melodies to lift every dark corner of the heart and a companion for every aspect of your day. The album is a definite contender for album of the year and just waiting for you to fall into its welcoming arms.

Margate – Rock 'n Roll Reserve
Los Angeles band Margate are no newbies to music, the band itself formed in 2003 and the members learning the art of making good honest music with other bands years before, but the energy and excitement the band bring with their new release Rock 'n Roll Reserve puts many a new pup on the block to shame. The trio obviously well versed in the art of rock 'n' roll have never lost going by the EP, the reason for making music and what it should bring to the listener, fun!
Margate, really they should be an English band with that name, bring an attitude and sound that is joyful, melodic and distinctly punk in flavour, almost promiscuous at times. They also add a pop element but hone it to neatly fall between the over age adolescent shenanigans of a Bowling For Soup or the more terse middle finger attitude of a Rise Against. To be honest Margate do not make a stance with anything new or groundbreaking but they make a definite mark with music that is well written, arranged, and then delivered, bringing a smile to the face and heart without resorting to gag music or lyrics. The trio may not break down new doors of sound but they more than lead the way with what they do produce, a sound that appeals to every aspect and fan of punk, pop, and rock music.
Rock 'n Roll Reserve was recorded with engineer/producer and former Death By Stereo bassist Paul Miner, also known for his accomplished studio work with the likes of New Found Glory, Atreyu and Thrice. He mixed Margate's previously critically acclaimed full length album On the Other Side in 2009, an experience so positive the band were determined to work with him again for the EP.
Margate consisting of Steve Weil on bass, Doug Mitchell on guitar and Alex Helbig on drums and lead vocals, is a unit tight and instinctively creative as Rock 'n Roll Reserve shows. The first track to show its wares and their quality is 'Control', a Bad Religion flavoured track with inviting riffs and a guitar solo that plays effortlessly in the ear. A confident and high-energy song that shows intense matters need not be slammed into the listener to be effective.
Before actually listening to the EP a decision to ignore the next track was virtually taken, a track that instils a feeling of apathy each time heard here at the RR centre. Hands up though, with reluctance and respect for the band it was played and it has to be admitted Margate has delivered a version of 'Eleanor Rigby' that is admirable and…..ok admittedly enjoyable. Actually it even made, like most of the tracks on the release, voices join in with Helbig and the backing harmonies of Weil and Mitchell. Sad but true.
The Costello (a band also featuring Mitchell) cover 'Live It Up' is a straight forward rock song which satisfies without leaving a lasting mark but the three remaining songs certainly make up for it. 'Lovesick' a cover of the Madcap tune, is a power pop punk joy, inviting and engaging melodies and pop hooks play like a mix of Jimmy Eats World and The Police over urgent riffs and rhythms, making foot tapping obligatory. The best track on the EP 'Rock 'n' Roll Reserve' flies out the gates with insurgent riffs and a bassline to drool over. Like Green Day meets Civ the song is irresistible, anthemic, and simply what punk is all about. Closing track 'This Road' is a more subdued but no less intense track, with echoes of The Urgencyin its more emotive tones.
Rock 'n Roll Reserve is to hit town September 12th via Room57Records and if there is one release you go out of your way to find and party with, the new EP from Margate is it. They show and make rock 'n' roll the way it is meant to be, and then some.

This DVD provides an excellent overview and introduction to the Validation Method. Using demonstrations by Naomi Feil and Vicki de Klerk working with people diagnosed Alzheimer's-type dementia, both principles and techniques are illustrated. This is a great DVD for those new to Validation as well as students of Validation. A great inservice teaching tool.
This practical documentary offers caregivers techniques for communicating with disoriented very old people (probable Alzheimer's or related disorders). The video addresses how to deal with elderly people who begin making unfair or seemingly irrational accusations against those who care for them. By way of example, the video shows caregivers what to do when an 85 year old woman wanders from home, doesn't recognize her family, and becomes abusive. In clear "before" and "after" scenes, Muriel and Marge offer families and staff helping techniques that will reduce burnout for caregivers and stress for the very old person.
This DVD documents a final life struggle called resolution, which involves very old people diagnosed Alzheimer's-type dementia. In PHASE 1. Mal-orientation – the person is mostly oriented to time, place and person. In PHASE 2. Time Confusion – the person is not oriented to time and place In PHASE 3. Repetitive Motion – the person uses movements instead of speech to express human needs. In PHASE 4. Vegetation – the person has minimal movement, blank expression, no speech. In the final stage of resolution, buried emotions surface. The very old struggle to express themselves and need someone to listen with empathy: to "Validate" them.
A sensitive, powerful documentary captures the pain of life in a nursing home while offering hope through Validation, an innovative helping method that returns dignity. Excellent for all levels of hospital and nursing home staff, the DVD is an on-camera demonstration of Validation. A skilful worker enter the inner world of very disoriented very old people, learns the meaning behind their bizarre behaviors and builds trust. The people develop speech, controls, and increased well- being and self-respect. Produced through a grant from the Ohio Program in the Humanities. Winner of: Silver Medallion, 1978 Miami International Film Festival.

Donny Van De Beek: Crystal Palace Want Manchester United Midfielder On Loan Before Transfer Window Closes – Sky Sports
Crystal Palace are interested in taking Manchester United midfielder Donny van de Beek on loan.
Netherlands midfielder Van de Beek has struggled to break into the first team at Old Trafford since a £39 million move from Ajax in the summer of 2020.
He has been a largely peripheral figure under both current interim manager Ralf Rangnick and former boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer despite a goalscoring debut for the club, which incidentally came against Palace.
Van de Beek has been restricted to just 380 minutes of action this season and has not started a game in the Premier League this term.
Ralf Rangnick felt that his Manchester United side showed great patience as they scored a last-gasp winner to beat fellow top-four chasing West Ham at Old Trafford.
He has just two goals and two assists to his name in 50 Manchester United appearances.
United would consider allowing van de Beek to go on loan if a suitable offer presented itself, both from a footballing and financial perspective. It is thought United would only consider a straight loan until the end of the season.

Manchester United news | Fixtures | Results
The player's priority is to get more regular first-team football and if that is to be away from Old Trafford, the feeling is van de Beek would maintain his value in the summer. Irrespective, van de Beek's future will be re-assessed after the season ends when United have a new manager in place.
Palace boss Patrick Vieira is very happy with his squad but feels they are lacking one or two experienced players with European experience. Vieira said on Friday he is still looking to add to his squad in January.
Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira said striker Christian Benteke will not be sold during the transfer window and is part of his long-term plans at the club.
Van de Beek had been the talisman of Ajax's exciting young team under Erik ten Hag, which reached the Champions League semi-finals in 2019, scoring six goals in the competition and 28 more in over 100 appearances in the Eredivisie.
The midfielder has two-and-a-half years to run on his contract at Old Trafford, although United hold an option to extend the deal by a further year. Netherlands boss Louis van Gaal has not selected him since taking over last year.
'Van de Beek concerned over Netherlands future'
Dharmesh Sheth told The Transfer Show that a desire to get back into the Netherlands squad is part of Donny van de Beek's reasoning for considering a loan move away from Manchester United…
"Crystal Palace want to sign Donny van de Beek on loan until the end of the season. As far as Manchester United are concerned, I'm told they would consider allowing Van de Beek to go on loan if a suitable offer presented itself, both from a financial perspective and a footballing perspective.
"It's thought United would only consider a straight loan deal. The contract of Van de Beek is on United's side – he's got a contract till 2025 and they've inserted a club option to extend that for a further year.
"As far as Van de Beek is concerned, his only priority is to get more regular first-team football. I think, in the back of his mind, is his Netherlands future. He's not been selected for a squad since Louis van Gaal took over as Netherlands manager. That's purely because he's not playing and Van Gaal has made it clear to him he needs to be playing regular first-team football if he is to force his way back. It's looking rather slim, the chances of him making the World Cup squad."
Sevilla close to signing Martial on loan
Manchester United forward Anthony Martial has arrived in Spain ahead of completing his loan move to Sevilla.
Sevilla have reached an agreement to sign Anthony Martial on loan from Manchester United.
The 26-year-old will join the La Liga side – who will pay his wages in full – until the end of the season. There is no loan fee involved.
Martial has arrived at Seville airport, where he was greeted by TV crews and photographers, and will now head to the club to undergo a medical.

The forward always wanted to join Sevilla this month, despite interest from Juventus and Barcelona, because he believes that is where he will play the most.
Sky Sports News exclusively broke the news in December Martial wanted to leave United in search of more game time.
Image: Anthony Martial joined Manchester United from Monaco in 2015
Martial became the world's most expensive teenager when he joined United from Monaco in 2015 and went on to score 79 times in 269 appearances for the club.
But he fell out of favour in the forward positions following the signings of Cristiano Ronaldo and Jadon Sancho in the summer, as well as the emergence of Mason Greenwood.
Martial has started just four games for United this season, and was accused by Ralf Rangnick, the club's interim manager, of asking not to play in the 2-2 draw at Aston Villa on January 15.
The France international refuted his manager's claim, and Rangnick later insisted the situation was "resolved".
Following Saturday's 2-2 draw at home to Celta Vigo, Sevilla are second in La Liga and just four points behind Real Madrid as they search for their first title since 1946.

The Green Party supports single-payer universal health care and preventive care for all. We believe that health care is a right, not a privilege.
Our current health care system lets tens of thousands of people die each year by excluding them from adequate care, while its exorbitant costs are crippling our economy. The United States is the only industrialized nation in the world without a national health care system.
Under a universal, comprehensive, national single-payer health care system, the administrative waste of private insurance corporations would be redirected to patient care. If the United States were to shift to a system of universal coverage and a single payer plan, as in Canada and many European countries, the savings in administrative costs would be more than enough to offset the cost of additional care. Expenses for businesses currently providing coverage would be reduced, while state and local governments would pay less because they would receive reimbursement for services provided to the previously uninsured, and because public programs would cease to be the "dumping ground" for high-risk patients and those rejected by health maintenance organizations (HMOs) when they become disabled and unemployed. In addition, people would gain the peace of mind in knowing that they have health care they need. No longer would people have to worry about the prospect of financial ruin if they become seriously ill, are laid off their jobs, or are injured in an accident.
The Green Party supports a wide range of health care services, including conventional medicine, as well as the teaching, funding and practice of complementary, integrative and licensed alternative health care approaches
Greens recognize that our own health is also intimately tied to the health of our communities and environment. To improve our own health, we must improve the quality of our air, water and food and the health of our workplaces, homes and schools.
The Green Party unequivocally supports a woman's right to reproductive choice, no matter her marital status or age, and that contraception and safe, legal abortion procedures be available on demand and be included in all health insurance coverage in the U.S., as well as free of charge in any state where a woman's income falls below the poverty level.
Stand with the Green Party and stand with the American people. Please sign our petition.

Turtles and Tortoises are NOT low maintainance "pets"! Like any other animal they sometimes must have vet care to remain healthy. Many vets do not treat turtles/tortoises but some try and don't really know how to treat them properly. You need to be sure the vet you use is knowledgeable in treating turtles and tortoises specifically. And if he is a turtle/tortoise vet, he probably isn't cheap!
