6.1 VISARIGHT's services consist of the operation of the VISARIGHT platform. One of the main functions of the VISARIGHT platform is to provide general, non-individual information on all aspects of visa and migration.
6.2 Further functions of the VISARIGHT platform include the provision of communication facilities with VISARIGHT's partner law firms. This includes the transmission of messages, information and documents as well as the provision of a user area in which the exchanged messages, information and documents can be stored.
6.3 VISARIGHT itself does not carry out any legal examination of individual cases.
7.1 The development of the VISARIGHT platform has involved an analysis of numerous procedures and processes, in particular those relating to the issue of visa. On the basis of this analysis, VISARIGHT has developed a questionnaire (algorithm) which, based on specific questions, makes it possible to create documents tailored to the needs of the user and to carry out eligibility checks. Even if these documents contain the name and other personal data, it is not the result of a legal examination in the individual case, but an individualized standard document.
7.2 The user can purchase the individualised standard document from VISARIGHT. By purchasing the individualised standard document, the user undertakes to use the document only for the purpose resulting from the content of the document, e.g. to submit an application to an authority in his own name. The user shall refrain from systematically evaluating and/or passing on and/or reselling the documents to third parties.
7.3 Note: The creation of the individualized standard document and eligibility checks do not replace legal advice. VISARIGHT therefore recommends that Users seek legal advice from a lawyer in order to have the User's individual case legally examined.
7.4 Note: VISARIGHT continuously updates the algorithm used to create the individualized standard document. The individualized standard documents should therefore always be used in close temporal relation (maximum 14 days) to the creation of the document. In the event of a time delay, the required documents should be recreated.
8.1 Via the VISARIGHT platform you can submit a request for an initial consultation by a lawyer free of charge. VISARIGHT will make this request available to the partner law firms. If the enquiry is accepted by a lawyer for answering and free initial consultation, you will first be informed that the enquiry is being processed. After completion of the examination, the lawyer will send you the result of his examination via the VISARIGHT platform.
8.2 The free initial consultation is a free service of the partner firm which has taken over the consultation.
8.3 With the initial consultation, the partner firm will, if necessary, send you an offer for further consultation. You are not obliged to accept this offer.
9.1 Via the VISARIGHT platform, you can also accept offers from partner law firms that are subject to a fee.
9.2 The fee-based services provided by the partner firm are also services provided by the partner firm which has provided the advice.
VISARIGHT is entitled to publish your legal question and the answer of the partner firm. The publication will be anonymous and the name of the partner firm may be mentioned. VISARIGHT is entitled to edit your inquiry as well as the reply.
11.1 VISARIGHT offers users the opportunity to evaluate and comment on the service and the partner law firms (hereinafter referred to collectively as "evaluation"). There is no obligation to rate the service.
in combination with the partner firm that answered your question.
The evaluation can be displayed in this form at various points of our service and in advertising for our service (e.g. as part of an advertising banner).
11.3 VISARIGHT is entitled to forward evaluations, in particular negative evaluations, to the person (e.g. lawyer, partner firm) and to give them the opportunity to comment. VISARIGHT is entitled, but not obliged, to publish both the assessment and the statement in the event of a statement.
11.4 VISARIGHT is not obliged to publish evaluations. We reserve the right to delete already published reviews without giving reasons.
12.1 Payments to VISARIGHT as well as payments to partner law firms can be made via the payment services integrated on the VISARIGHT platform. VISARIGHT only arranges the use of the payment service provider's services for payment processing, but does not carry out the payment processing itself.
12.2 The payment process and thus the use of the payment services is integrated into the ordering process at VISARIGHT. The payment process is started by clicking on the corresponding button of the payment service provider and leads to the page of the respective payment service provider.
12.3 In order to use payment services, it may be necessary for you to enter into a contractual relationship with the respective payment service provider.
12.4 VISARIGHT has currently integrated the following payment services: Prepayment (invoice), PayPal® and Stripe. We reserve the right to exclude or subsequently add certain payment options.
VISARIGHT reserves the right to deny the user the use of VISARIGHT's services if the user violates these GTC or any other applicable law. As a rule, VISARIGHT will first request the User to terminate the unlawful conduct. If the User's conduct gives rise to facts which make it unreasonable to expect VISARIGHT to continue the user relationship with the User, VISARIGHT shall be entitled to terminate the user relationship with immediate effect.
14.1 Claims for damages due to breach of duty and unlawful conduct as well as claims for reimbursement of futile expenses against VISARIGHT and its vicarious agents are excluded.
14.2 This limitation of liability shall not apply if the damage was caused intentionally or by gross negligence, or in the event of a breach of material contractual obligations, i.e. contractual obligations the fulfilment of which is essential to the proper performance of the contract and the observance of which the contractual partner may regularly rely on, and the breach of which on the other hand endangers the achievement of the purpose of the contract. It shall not apply to damages resulting from injury to life, body or health if VISARIGHT is responsible for the breach of duty. Furthermore, the limitation shall not apply to damages which are based on the absence of a warranted characteristic or for which liability is provided in accordance with the Produkthaftungsgesetz (German Product Liability Act).
14.3 In the event of a claim for damages for the slightly negligent breach of material contractual obligations and in the event of a grossly negligent breach of secondary contractual obligations, liability shall be limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract. This shall not apply in cases of personal injury, damage based on the absence of a warranted characteristic or for which liability is provided under the Produkthaftungsgesetz (German Product Liability Act).
14.4 VISARIGHT shall not be liable for the services provided by the partner firm.
15.1 The user relationship shall run for an indefinite period and may be terminated by either party at any time with one month's notice to the end of the month. Both parties reserve the right to terminate the contract without notice for good cause. Each termination requires the text form of § 126b BGB, i.e. at least one e-mail. We reserve the right to provide our users with further options for terminating the contract.
15.2 After termination of the contract your user account including the corresponding contents will be deleted. Contributions and/or reviews posted by you may, however, remain accessible on VISARIGHT.
15.3 If data, documents or other information is available in your user account, you are obliged in the event of termination to secure this data for your own purposes. After the expiry of the period of notice, the data will be deleted unless we are obliged by law to store the data. Even in the event of extraordinary termination, the data will be kept ready for you for the duration of the regular period of notice in order to enable you to back up your data, unless this is unreasonable for us.
15.4 If we have blocked your user account or declared the extraordinary termination to you, you may not re-register with VISARIGHT without our explicit consent.
16.1 If the application for a visa submitted by you has been rejected despite a positive "Eligibility Check", we will refund the full amount of the payments made to VISARIGHT for this purpose (with the exception of official fees).
1. Your information on the visa application form was accurate and complete.
2. The enclosed application documents were complete and those that we had examined and approved for submission.
3. No later than 14 days before the application for the visa was submitted to the competent authority, you have carried out an "Eligibility Check" via the VISARIGHT platform with the same information and documents and the result of the "Eligibility Check" on the VISARIGHT platform was positive.
4. The application was submitted in good time and you met the deadlines and deadlines for the application procedure.
5. The guarantee must be asserted in writing by post or e-mail within 14 days of the rejection of the visa application. The date of notification of the rejection notice is decisive for the start of the 14-day guarantee period.
6. A copy/scan of the notice of rejection must be enclosed.
7. VISARIGHT shall reimburse the full amount of the payments made to VISARIGHT for carrying out the "Eligibility Check" (Item 3). The official fees paid for the application procedure shall not be refunded by VISARIGHT.
8. The reimbursement claim pursuant to Clause 7 shall become due as soon as the notice of rejection has become final and absolute. VISARIGHT shall be entitled to make the reimbursement in advance. The refund will be made via your original means of payment.
9. VISARIGHT reserves the right to offer to assist you in taking action against the refusal.
16.3 We will usually contact you within 3 working days of you claiming the warranty.
17.1 We reserve the right to amend these GTC at any time and without giving reasons. The new GTC will be sent to you by e-mail. The new GTC shall be deemed to have been agreed if you do not object to their validity within 14 days of receipt of the e-mail. The objection requires the text form. We will inform you separately in the e-mail about the possibility of objection, the deadline and the consequences of your inaction. If you object, each party has the right to terminate the user agreement as provided in section 13.
17.2 However, the possibility of amending the GTC does not exist for amendments that restrict the content and scope of VISARIGHT's core usage options to your disadvantage, nor for the introduction of new obligations for you that were not previously laid down in the GTC.
The contents of VISARIGHT's websites are created and updated with great economic effort. The contents of VISARIGHT's websites may only be used for the user's own information purposes. Any further use of the contents or linking to the contents for commercial purposes is not permitted. Irrespective of the legal protectability, this applies in particular to VISARIGHT trademarks, articles, information, images, legal questions and answers as well as other information. The user acknowledges the aforementioned restrictions on the use of the contents of the VISARIGHT website.
19.1 The contractual relationship with the users shall be governed exclusively by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany. The application of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) is excluded. If the user has concluded the contract as a consumer, the mandatory consumer protection provisions applicable in the country in which the user has his habitual residence shall also apply, provided that these provide the user with further protection.
19.3 If one or more provisions of these GTC should be or become invalid, both the user agreement and the remaining GTC shall remain valid. The user and VISARIGHT undertake to replace the corresponding provision with provisions that correspond economically to the purpose of the contract.
VISARIGHT is neither legally nor voluntarily obliged to participate in a dispute resolution procedure before a consumer arbitration body. VISARIGHT will endeavour to find a mutually acceptable solution with the user in the event of a dispute. Since arbitration boards are liable to pay costs, VISARIGHT will not participate in a dispute resolution procedure before a consumer arbitration board, even in the well-understood cost interest of the user.

TRUSTS, SUCCESSION AND FAMILY LAW (DIRECT ENTRY)
Module Leader Naveed Kayani
A (September start)-B (January start)
B (January start)-A (September start)
This module provides the student with a knowledge and understanding of key areas of Scots Private Law including the law of trusts and succession; and family law. The module exposes students to legal challenges arising from family disputes across international boundaries. The role of lawyers in society is changing - lawyers are increasingly expected to be pro-active in the prediction and prevention of unethical as well as unlawful behaviour across all areas of society, including public and private sectors. The delivery of the module will thus embed PRME principles including: developing graduates who care about social responsibility; developing learning and teaching which enables graduates to become responsible leaders and practitioners; and developing graduates who will advise businesses and other stakeholders to explore mutually beneficial responses to social and legal challenges.
The law of trusts: categories of trusts, powers, duties and liabilities of trustees, trust purposes, liferent and fee, judicial factors. The law of succession: presumption of death, entitlement to inherit, prior rights and legal rights, intestate succession, testate succession, vesting. Family law: husband & wife - formation and effects of marriage, divorce, financial provision on divorce; civil partnerships; parent & child - establishing parentage, parental rights and responsibilities, adoption.
On successful completion of this module, the student should be able to:1.	Demonstrate a knowledge and understanding of the principles of the law of trusts;2.	Demonstrate a knowledge and understanding of the principles of the law of succession;3.	Describe the requirements of a valid marriage and of a civil partnership and demonstrate a knowledge and understanding of the legal consequences of both married status and civil partnership and their termination through divorce or dissolution respectively;4.	Evaluate the effectiveness of legal concepts in performing a specified function5.	Demonstrate a knowledge and understanding of the rights and responsibilities arising as a consequence of the parent and child relationship;6.	Analyse a given set of facts so as to identify the relevant legal issues arising therefrom, explain the relevant law; synthesise case law and statute to reinforce legal points and synthesise different points of law when reaching a reasoned conclusion;7.	Identify and retrieve up to date legal information using paper and electronic repositories; use primary and secondary legal sources which are relevant to the topic under study and current at the point of assessment; present knowledge and information using sources to support arguments and conclusions; provide recognized methods of citation and reference. Identify accurately and formulate clearly the legal issues to be research; undertake independent research (both paper-based and electronic) in areas of law which have not been previously studied, using paper and electronic repositories to research new topics without reference to a reading list.8.	PRME Learning Outcome: Demonstrate an ability to explore ethical and socially responsible responses to a variety of family conflicts.
The module will be delivered over two trimesters. Students will attend two hours of lectures per week and 1 seminar hour per fortnight. The structured programme of learning undertaken will encourage active, student-centred learning by requiring students to access and analyse a variety of primary and secondary source material in order to address and solve set questions and case studies. During seminars, students variously may work in groups, present material to the class and participate in role play exercises. In addition, blended learning will be utilised fully with a range of module materials and other sources of information available via GCU Learn. Attendance requirement: A minimum of 80% attendance at seminars is required in this module, or the provision of satisfactory proof of acceptable reasons for absence. Failure to comply with the requirement may result in the student being barred from sitting the first diet examinations and being required to sit the relevant examination(s) as a second attempt at the re-sit diet. Generic feedback on student work will be provided via GCU Learn and in seminars. Students may also obtain individual feedback on their work from staff. Internationalisation: The delivery of this module will set Scots, UK and EU law as appropriate in an international context. GSBS will continue to use the advancement of GCU Learn as a blended learning tool through its teaching and learning as well as through engagement with students. GSBS will ensure that all modules are GCU Learn enabled and with the support of the Learning Technologists at the cutting edge of development of online materials. Academic staff and the Learning Technologists will continue to work together to develop and operate all modules on GCULearn to ensure student support and information sharing. Students are provided with formative and summative feedback via a variety of mechanisms. Feedback on coursework is provided within 3 working weeks of submission.

We often approach photography from the perspective of capturing the moment as the moment occurs. While on vacation, for example, unless we are specifically on vacation to shoot, we rarely plan our activities around the best opportunity to make images. Instead, we plan our activities as they best fit in our schedule and capture images whenever the opportunity occurs.
Sometimes, however, getting the photos we want requires a little planning. In lessons 16 and 17, we talked about timing outdoor photography around the golden hour (or magic hour) to get the most appealing light. Wildlife photography is another type of photography that requires planning.
While I do not recommend using an iPhone for wildlife smaller than buffalo, regardless of which camera you're using, if you want to capture wildlife, there is significantly more planning involved than for most subjects. Predictably, sometimes the best laid plan goes awry and, conversely, sometimes the best wildlife shots happen by accident. But, most of the time, having a plan helps.
Time of day. Many wildlife are most active around dawn and dusk. This works well since it usually corresponds with the best light. Knowing if the wildlife you seek falls into this pattern and planning to arrive at the best time increases the odds of not only seeing wildlife, but also seeing them do interesting things. Checking to see when the sun will rise and set on the day you'll be shooting will help get your there on time.
Location, location, location. This is the real trick. Knowing where to find the wildlife you seek can sometimes seem like magic. In the days of the internet, it's gotten a lot easier to get tips on locating popular hangouts for your favorite critters and even what they're up to (like hatching eaglets, birthing elk, migrating rare birds). Sometimes the best source of this information is from posts by other photographers on Facebook or Flickr. There are also organizations who provide updates: for birds, check out a local chapter of the Ornithological Society and/or Audubon Society–ebird.org also provides migration hotspot updates; park websites often mention wildlife viewing areas; and the National Wildlife Federation seems to be trying to use social networking for sharing sightings via their Wildlife Watch program.
The Weather. Birds are tricky. During migration, they will move when winds are favorable and hang out in appropriate habitat along their migration route when winds are not. Here's an article that explains the basics of weather and bird migration. My best birding day ever was in high winds and misting rain. Many types of Warblers had moved into a migration hotspot and then hunkered down in the understory of the woods for protection from the weather. Large mammals will move from higher elevations to lower ones as the seasons change, but day-to-day weather tends to affect how active they are more than where they're found. However, the weather, especially in mountain areas, can have a very big impact on whether you can access the location you're trying to get to or not. If you're counting on driving to a wildlife viewing area in the winter in the Smokies, for example, check the road status. In the more South-Eastern mountains of the US, there is little snow clearing equipment and remote roads remain closed for much of the season. Additionally, rain, snow, and overcast skies will change the light and may even affect your subjects' behavior. The less intense sunlight behind clouds means even, gray light all day long (which is not as nice as golden light, but means you can shoot in the middle of the afternoon without the harsh effects of overhead sun). Additionally, cooler, cloudy weather may increase the level of activity of the animals at times of day they might otherwise seek shade.
Luck. No matter how you study your subject, figure out where to find them, time your visit, plan around the weather, there is still luck involved. I have given up on carrying telephoto lenses while hiking on more than one occasion only to get my best view of wildlife when my telephoto lenses were back in the car. In fact, I've come to believe that leaving your telephotos behind guarantees you will see great wildlife. This does not, however, result in great photos.
Having just passed the shortest day of the year in the Northern hemisphere, I thought it was a good time to look at how different apps perform at night on the iPhone 5S. I'm sure you all heard that the 5S was a step up for low-light photography with it's bigger aperture and larger, less noisy sensor. If you don't know what any of that means, that's OK, it's just supposed to be better than predecessors at night.
As someone who shoots a lot with a DSLR that does fantastic things at night, it's a little hard for me to judge fairly about whether the improvement is significant between my 4S and 5S, but I was curious to see if using different apps on the iPhone while hand holding made any difference at all in the quality of the images in low light.
The cool (or should I say hip?) thing about Hipstamatic at night is that the filters it applies to the image make the noise of low-light photos look intentional. They seem like part of the artistic effect instead of an annoying accident.
The downside is that you only get square images, which I don't particularly like for a scene that is wide and short like the Chattanooga riverfront.
Past Hipstamatic Lessons: Lesson 13: Getting Hip; Lesson 24: Using Hipstamatic to Include and Exclude; Lesson 26: The iPhone and Wildlife; Lesson 29: Hipsta-Classic; Lesson 30: Awesomely Hip Portraits; Lesson 43: Patterns; Lesson 46: Flower Power; Lesson 88: Hip Heads; Lesson 93: Old Places, New Dressing.
The level–it's particularly useful at night when it's too dark to judge visually if you've got a tilt going on or not.
Being able to separate the focus point from the exposure point gives you more control over whether you get a lighter or darker exposure (I did not use this feature in the examples, but you can see how to use it here).
Past Camera Awesome Lessons: Lesson 7: Keep It Level; Lesson 8: Separating Focus from Exposure; Lesson 12: Awesomization; Lesson 14: Another Way to Be Hip; Lesson 31: Blur and Flash; Lesson 34: When You've Got the Shakes; Lesson 43: Patterns.
Combining two images helps get better exposure, but the inherent problem of hand-holding at night is that the shutter is pretty slow, meaning more shake shows in the image. When you add a second image to that, the focus looks extra soft. We'll try it on a tripod in another lesson to see how much that helps.
Past HDR Pro Lessons: Lesson 9: Combining Two Exposures into One Photo; Lesson 18: When the Light is Out of Control; Lesson 20: Using Filters in Pro HDR; Lesson 21: Filters and Photos in Your Library; Lesson 36: Creating Space.
Your Assignment: Pick an app. Any app. Go out in the dark, find an area with night lights, and experiment for yourself. Does Hipstamatic make the noise tolerable? Does Pro HDR solve much of the problem or make it worse? Are you able to hand-hold and still get a sharp image? Does the level on Camera Awesome (several other camera apps include a level) help you as much as it helps me? How much does separating the exposure from the focus point help?


The system is a customizable surface analysis solution for highest performance APPES studies especially developed for the HiPP analysers and XM1200 X-ray source. Scienta Omicron has a long tradition of system design and will therefore fully guarantee the performance of the APPES solution.
The system is designed and optimized for best performance with lab or synchrotron based laser, UV and X-ray sources. Scienta Omicron systems are also prepared for multi-technique upgrades with possibilities of adding glove box, SPM and MBE capabilities to the system. The system configuration and layout will be developed and upon request updated in collaboration with the customer during the lifetime of the system.
The S HiPP-3 analyser features a newly developed technology for outstanding imaging XPS at ambient conditions with a spatial and angular mode. In addition, the newly developed Swift Acceleration Mode enables unparalleled transmission, with countrates improved by up to a factor of e.g. 10 for Ag 3d using Al-Kα excitation (Ref: Edwards NIMA 785 (2015) 191).
The chamber is specially designed for ultimate performance using the HiPP-3 analyser in combination with a XM1200 X-ray source. The chamber is cylindrical and based on a 200 mm chamber diameter. It includes the window that separates the high pressure region in the analysis chamber from the vacuum of the X-ray source. The window is designed for venting of the chamber to atmospheric pressure while maintaining the vacuum in the X-ray source.
The chamber will be made of mu-metal (Flanges: AISI 316 LN) and have up to 12 ports (including analyzer and X-ray ports) and has a guaranteed residual magnetic field lower than 1 microTesla at the measurement point.
The frame is an essential point in the modular concept of the system. It enables ease of use of the setup, e.g. exchange of analysis chamber and removal of analyser for sample access.
An effective pumping is of utmost importance for APPES for creating a steep pressure gradient in the analyser, maintaining good vacuum in the monochromator, and effectively pump away the gas load after finished experiments in the exchangeable chamber.
The HiPP-Lab offers a well-balanced pumping base package including analyser pumping and ease of gas evacuation from analysis chamber. The HiPP-Lab also offers one manual gas inlet version as well as a fully automatic version.

So I'm a Spider, So What? Release Date + Preview
NCK
Even before the simulcast of the anime adaptation of "So I'm a Spider, So What?" (jap.: "Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka?") starts next Friday at Crunchyroll, the VoD provider today released a ten-minute preview of the first episode, which you can find below.
So I'm a Spider, So What? Release Date
"So I'm a Spider, So What?" is directed by Shin Itagaki ("Devil May Cry", "Berserk") at Studio Millepensee ("Cop Craft"). Kii Tanaka contributes the character design, while Masahiko Suzuki, Ryo Hirata and Hiromi Kimura are responsible for the monster design.

The Light Novel, which serves as a template for the anime, was written by Okina Baba, who has been publishing it since May 2015. A manga adaptation started in December 2015 and The report was confirmed at Kadokawa's booth at Anime Expo later the same day, and it was announced that the adaptation would be a television series. Originally set to premiere in 2020, it has been rescheduled to premiere on January 8, 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Overview of Characters & Cast
Kumoko (voiced by Aoi Yuki)
Kumoko was a rather unpopular high school girl who was reborn as a spider. In her previous life she lived quite secluded and immersed herself in video games. Now, however, she uses her mental strength to fight for survival.
Schlain Zagan Analeit aka Shun (voiced by Shun Horie)
The fourth prince of the Kingdom of Analeit. In his previous life his name was Yamada Shunsuke. He was a textbook example for the average high school student and retains this trait even after his reincarnation. However, he has a deep admiration for his older brother Julius, the hero, and spends every day working hard to one day catch up with him.
Karnatia Seri Anabald aka Katia (voiced by Nao Toyama)
Katia is the daughter of Duke Anabald. In her previous life, she was a boy named Ooshima Kanata who was reborn as a beautiful girl. She is a child prodigy and is on par with Shun, with whom she has been friends since a previous life.
Feirune (voiced by Eri Kitamura)
Shun's pet. In her previous life, she was a girl named Shinohara Mirei, but she was not reborn as a human but as a monster. As such, her values are rising very quickly and she has excellent situational awareness.
Filimøs Harrifenas (voiced by Kaya Okuno)
In her previous life, she was Okazaki Kanami, the house tutor for the born again children, and was affectionately called "Oka-chan" by them. After her reincarnation, she became a teacher at the school Shun and the others attend. As an eleven she looks younger than she actually is.
Suelecia (voiced by Yui Ogura)
Suelecia is the second princess of the Kingdom of Analeit. As Shun's half-sister, born to another mother shortly after his birth, her talents are in no way inferior to his. She also has a brother complex.
Hugo Baint Renxandt (voiced by Kaito Ishikawa)
The Crown Prince of the Empire Renxandt. In his previous life he was Natsume Kengo and was considered the leader of the class. His abilities are truly unique, but his habit of overdoing his abilities diminishes the size of his power. He is very belligerent and regards Shun as his rival.
Yuri Ullen (voiced by Aimi Tanaka)
Yuri is a saint candidate from the Holy Realm of Alleius. In her previous life, her name was Hasebe Yuika. She is very serious and well behaved, but often loses track of what is happening around her. She inherited the life of a girl raised by the Church.
Julius Zagan Analeit (voiced by Junya Enoki)
The second prince of the Kingdom of Analeit. Julius is Shun's older brother and the strongest hero in the world. Although he has mastered swordsmanship and magic perfectly, he remains virtuous and not boastful. He is a true hero who is dedicated to the fight for world peace.
So I'm a Spider, So What? Preview
So I'm a Spider, So What? Plot
When an explosion kills an entire school class, the students' souls are reborn in a mysterious fantasy world! But while some of them are given a new life as princes or magicians … Not everyone is so lucky.

I had a call at 11:00 last night from a scared parolee. Let me tell you about "Renaldo". He was arrested at about the age of 16 for sexually abusing a six-year-old. He spent 10 years in prison where I visited him. He had become a model prisoner, has commendations for leading anger management groups.
have to tell everyone his charges.
Last evening he went to a fishing area of town with an adult friend and they were 6 minutes late arriving home due to traffic. He called his parole officer immediately upon arriving and was told to be at the office at 8:00 this morning. This usually means being arrested. I told him to call me this morning. He just did and said he was given a lecture and told not to let it happen again. So goes the harassing life of the solitary parolee.


The first Fashion Revolution Day is today. But, do you know who made your clothes, asks its founder, Carry Somers?
Thursday 24th April marks exactly one year since 1133 people were killed in the catastrophic collapse of the Rana Plaza factory in Dhaka, Bangladesh. One of the biggest (and deadliest) garment factory accidents ever, a further 2,500 more workers were left seriously injured when the structurally unstable, overcrowded buildings, that produced products for brands like Mango, Primark and Benetton caved.
To mark the anniversary and encourage change within the industry, fair trade pioneer Carry Somers has founded Fashion Revolution Day, and with a little help from Livia Firth, Mary Portas, Amber Valetta, is encouraging everyone to wear their clothes inside out, study their labels and really think about who has made their clothes.
'In the 10 years or so before the Rana Plaza disaster another 2,200 people had died in Bangladesh's garment industry. But because they'd been smaller disasters and fires, where maybe 50 people had been killed in each one, it hadn't really made the news. It did take something of this scale, unfortunately, for the world to sit up take notice.

Q: Generating unique user Ids for new users after sign-up
Possible Duplicate:
Designing Unique Keys(Primary Keys) for a heavily denormalized NoSQL database

I am looking for a way to generate unique UserIds/ keys to store the data of the new users, after they sign up on my application.
One option is to get the randomly generated UUID, but these are 16 bytes long (and since I am using Cassandra, a NoSQL database which involves heavy denormalization), I am concerned whether I would be wasting lot of disk space, RAM and other resources if the key could be generated in smaller sizes.
The main inspiration behind trying to reduce the size of the userId is that, I am using userIds for heavy denormalization. UUIDs are 16 bytes long, but I can also have a unique Id in just 4 bytes(if I use a counter that keeps track of no of users on my application ), and Since sign-up is just a one time process, it makes sense to try cut down the space requirements, if it is feasible "without any downsides"(!?).
I am using userIds to attach to Id of other data of the user on my application. This way I could drastically cut down the space requirements.
What could be the ways to generate unique Ids for new users ?

A: You said that you might use 4 instead of 16 bytes per user. This will save you 12 bytes per user what saves you 1.2 Giga bytes per 100 million users. I am sure that you can afford such storage for that many users.
But if you use this user ID in way that it is not exposed to user (for instance in URL) increasing numbers could be just ok. Other way if this numbers is exposed to user and can manipulate it have in mind protection against birthday attack http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_attack

Q: How does electronic speckle holography produce fringes? For the out-of-plane set-up shown below, the system is only sensitive to displacements of the object along the z-axis.

To create an ESPI image, an image before an after displacing the test object are taken. An image of the difference between these images is then captured which produces a fringe pattern.
Why does this difference produce a fringe pattern?
I understand that displacing the test object along the z axis would shift the fringe pattern that a pair of points on the rough surface creates but I'm not entirely sure how to relate this to the fringe pattern of an ESPI image.

Scientists Identify Gene Associated with COVID-19 Mortality
South Asian populations have higher genetic susceptibility to COVID-19 . . .
A study recently published by researchers at the University of Oxford describes the identification of a gene, LZTFL1, which is linked to a doubling of the risk of respiratory failure due to COVID-19. The high-risk version of this gene increases the risk of developing severe COVID-19 by preventing the cells lining the lungs from adequately mounting a protective response to the virus. The study also notes that the high-risk version of this gene is present in up to 60 per cent of individuals of South Asian ancestry, compared with only 15 per cent of individuals of European ancestry.
Gene may have contributed to increased mortality in U.K., India . . .
This heightened genetic risk may have been a factor in the increased rates of COVID-related mortality experienced by India and by the South Asian population in the U.K., where rates of mortality were between 1.5 and four times higher for people of Bangladeshi, Pakistani, and Indian ethnicity, even after correction for socioeconomic factors. In India, where the official death toll sits at 465,911, the actual toll based on excess mortality (a measure of all-cause mortality in excess of historical trends that captures deaths attributable to COVID even if they were never tested) has been estimated to be between 3.4 and 4.9 million. Despite a lack of data dis-aggregated by ethnicity early in the pandemic, there have also been indications that South Asian communities in Canada have been disproportionately affected, including in the Fraser Health Authority of British Columbia. Although socioeconomic and cultural factors such as high-risk occupations and large households almost certainly play a role as drivers of transmission, the discovery of the LZTFL1 gene implicates genetics as an additional potential vulnerability facing this population.
Discovery has implications for pandemic response, future research . . .
Identifying the excess mortality risk posed by the LZTFL1 gene may assist in the pandemic response by identifying populations and communities that would most benefit from public health and vaccination campaigns. The mechanism by which the high-risk version of LZTFL1 results in increased mortality does not involve the immune system. This means that individuals with this version of the gene can still mount a normal immune response to vaccination; thus, vaccination is even more beneficial to this population. As well, the development of novel therapeutics that specifically target the lungs may also be a promising avenue of future research.

Today we are living in a world where requirement increase drastically year by year and the time we have to attend training is limited. Visiting airports and taken part in an actual event "UK Airport Safety Week" is therefore highly appreciated.
To see in practice how ideas become reality, discuss safety and share information is perhaps one of the most important things to enhance safety. Safety promotion concerns everybody and the insight into the UK Airports Safety Week was very valuable for us to better understand the concept, how to plan and execute such an event and a guidance in how to go forward. So many thanks to the organizers for letting us be a part of this, it was a pleasure to be a part of the UK Airport Safety Week 2017.

Only Tuesday but already a busy week for the Friends.
Joan and Mike hosted a session on Early Man for 13 pupils from Alves Primary. They did the whole session on their own, learning about Early Man over the weekend, setting up the table for handling objects and answering the kids' questions.
On Tuesday myself, Mike and Valerie Wardlaw from the Museum staff travelled to Elgin to go to Bishopmill Primary School. I talked to 46 pupils from P6 on Hugh Falconer - The Fossil Hunter. I started off the afternoon by getting the kids to think how a 22 year old would have got to India in 1830 and how he would have gone from eating mince and tatties to exotic Indian cuisine. After discussing Falconer's life with the kids (they even got into the "punctuated equilibrium" bit) they all watched a copy of the Hugh Falconer DVD shown in the museum. Myself, Mike and Valerie then passed round fossils to the kids and there followed a loud 15 minutes when the kids "discussed" with themselves what the fossils were; a wee quiz and time go home. It was great fun and I was very impressed with the technology available in the classroom - overhead projector and a smart screen. This made showing the DVD easier.
I think after the success of the afternoon that I'll try and develop a "Hugh Falconer" loan box.
Sounds traumatic. Not the classroom but leaving mince n tatties for all that curry and spice!!


"Now with a progessive signal (480p) the flicker filter should always be disabled, since there are no interlaced lines to flicker. However Nintendo did something odd - they instead created a new video mode that deliberately 'softens' the picture when in progressive scan mode."
Yes, the same filter can be optionally used in 480p. The Game Boy Player Start-up Disc is an infamous example of it.
So it is only applied on certain games? I did not test a lot of games, but in all the ones I checked both 480i and 480p, 480p invariably looked less sharp. I don't really notice traces of a 480i blurring filter, except perhaps somewhat on text fonts.
You're likely looking at the analog bandwidth limit. The horizontal resolution is effectively halved.
I find the Wii seems to look sharper in 480p than 480i on CRTs. 480i Pikmin for example looks like quite blurry even on a very low use Trinitron.
I'd also be very interested to see which games use a softening filter in 480p.
My comparisons were on 900- and 1000-line monitors, so perhaps those are just exceptionally good at handling 480i relative to consumer CRTs. I always thought that 480p was perhaps not as well calibrated on them, but it being due to a softening filter on 480p maybe would make more sense.
Sure - they do look sharper on my BVM but I find that the 480i flicker is amplified to the point where I find it a little distracting.
It's mainly about Dolphin, but helps shed som light on the topic.
"Swiss, when set to force 480p on games, also disables the deflicker filter"
"FIX94's Nintendont on Wii also disables the filter when forcing video modes"
So it seems that forcing the sharpest possible picture out of Gamecube games is possible when running on either a Gamecube or Wii using Swiss and Nintendont respectively. However, does anyone know to what extent Wii games running in 480p are affected by this "blur"-filter?
So does the HDMI mod circumvent the 4:2:2 YCbCR framebuffer?
Of course not. GCVideo can only take what the Gamecube provides and that is a 4:2:2 YCbCr video signal. If you want existing software rendered in 4:4:4 RGB, Dolphin might work.
Using the white (pure luma) pixels to ensure I had optimal sampling for all three, I visually confirmed that #1 and #2 showed the expected 4:2:2 chroma subsampling artifacts, while #3 appeared artifact free, no chroma blurring whatsoever, a convincing 4:4:4 signal.
Is this 4:4:4 possible only because it's 240p? Or only because the game boy player hardware's involved? Or both? Or some other unrelated trick/hack?
I have a Vizio P series 4K display that I use.
It's 480p, if you want 4K you're gonna have to invest in a 4K upscaler.
Anyone know how the ZisWorks monitors handle 480p? They support integer scaling. Would that be an option?
No, the GBI claim is just a creative reinterpretation of the horizontal resolution. On the hardware side, the Cube output is still 4:2:2, so there is only a single color sent for every two pixels. But if you ensure that each logical pixel is physically sent twice (with the correct alignment), you can also interpret the video signal as having half the physical horizontal resolution, but full color information (4:4:4) for each logical pixel.
How the video encoder at the output implements 4:2:2 to 4:4:4 interpolation (if needed) can make things a bit more complicated again, but there are some indications that the Nintendo encoders use chroma hold (same chroma for both pixels in a 4:2:2 group) instead of the linear interpolation that is described in the Gamecube patents.
This is interesting info. GC games certainly look clean and sharp through RGB running on Nintendont forcing PAL60. I haven't really looked carefully at Wii games recently, but I'd imagine they probably would have the same filter since the GC and Wii were so similar. But that means a deflicker could also be implemented through Wii game loaders like USBLoader GX or Cfg USB Loader, which can also force video modes. Maybe they already do?
Fascinating, thanks for the explanation. So in other words, the pixel clock is doubled and duplicate values are used for every pair of horizontal pixels, such that the lossy encoding to 4:2:2 only ends up discarding the duplicated information.
I suppose the reason this trick could never work for 480p rendered content is that the console can't double the higher (27MHz?) pixel clock for 480p? i.e. homebrew software alone could never achieve 4:4:4 480p from a GameCube, it'd need to be overclocked?
The pixel clock isn't doubled, or it wouldn't work with the internal video encoder.
It could be achieved through a video adapter based on the Hi Speed Port (81 MB/s). Patching games for it would be feasible.
Adaptive Sync would be a possibility. However, it must be stressed that it couldn't work in any capacity without software support.
Doesn't the Wii apply a blur filter to 480p? Much like the blur for N64 on 240p.
Early video encoders in the Wii are analog bandwidth limited to SDTV. This effectively halves the horizontal resolution for EDTV.
Ironically, WiiDual can only be installed on revisions with the later video encoder.
Really noticed this the other night with my day 1 system.
The screen even flickers horizontal bars like the hdd I have installed is interfering.
So that's probably why people often felt that later Wiis had better video output than early ones, because they were probably only comparing 480p through component. 480i/240p should look the same across all models, I assume. Or are there differences also on SDTV resolutions between early and late models?
Are official Wii component cables worth the premium over third party ones?
You might be able to find a quality third-party cable, but stay far away from that Tomee stuff; it's hot garbage. I don't think I've seen an instance where a first-party cable wasn't worth the premium, unless you're going SCART, in which case you can get way-better-quality cables from sources like Retro-Access and Retro Gaming Cables.
Has anyone ever done a direct comparison video?
Apologies if I'm missing something - I've looked back through the posts and can't quite work out if we're at the point yet where it's worth installing WiiDual. Have the Chroma and "whites" issues been solved yet? I'm a little cautious of getting my US & UK Wiis modded just in case there's still problems to be overcome that might eventually require a new mod revision.
I'll be using component on an NEC XM29 & want to be sure the image is significantly better than stock - has anyone tried this using component on a reasonably good CRT & is it a big improvement over the stock output?
Lastly, is this the best thread to stay current? I see no one's been posting here for a while..
Discussion continued in the main GCVideo thread.
Thanks for that, very much appreciated. As I'm going down the analogue route I'll hold off for now & keep an eye on the other thread.
Looking at having the WiiDual installed just for the convenience of hdmi output. However, I was wondering if there is a noticeable difference in video quality over the component cables.
Personally I felt that there was a noticeable difference in the HDMI output over the component. Component seemed softer to me.
In what kind of monitor did you make this comparison?


Speeding - Dayton DUI OVI Defender - Protecting Your Rights!
Driving through the Greater Dayton Area it is not uncommon to see Ohio State Troopers, Sheriff Deputies, and Local Law Enforcement out with their radar and laser guns trying to catch that unfortunate soul who is speeding. This is especially true for I-75, I-70, I675, and U.S. Route 35!
Speeding tickets in Ohio is a minor misdemeanor that carries a max potential fine of $150 and court costs. However, the collateral consequences of having multiple speeding tickets can be very costly!
Depending on how fast you are alleged to have been driving, you could be facing points on your license, increases on your car insurance, sanctions by your employer, loss of employment, or even difficulty finding future employment.
In addition, some courts in the Greater Dayton Area will suspend an individual's license if he or she exceeds the posted speed limit by 20 mph or more!
To make matters even better, multiple speeding offenses can result in jail-time!
Holzfaster, Cecil, McKnight & Mues, will go over the traffic ticket with you, listen to your side of the story, answer any and all questions you may have, and will provide you with a case assessment and discuss possible defenses against your traffic ticket.
In addition, we will investigate whether the officer properly calibrated the radar/laser gun, whether the officer was properly trained on the radar/laser gun used in your case, and whether the police department kept up to date records on the calibration of the radar/laser gun.

Q: Match strings from two files and output fields in specific order I have the following two files.
query.txt
pumpkin
kiwi

subject.tsv
kiwifruit   something   green
melon   something   red
pumpkinhead something   orange

I'd like to loop through query.txt and check for each line if any first field in subject.tsv contains the line. If yes, a tab plus the third field from subject.tsv shall be added to the line. The order of the lines in query.txt shall be preserved in the output.
I tried the following.
while read query; do echo -e $query"\t"; awk '$1 ~ "$query" {print $3}' subject.tsv; done < query.txt

desired output:
pumpkin orange
kiwi    green

actual output:
pumpkin
kiwi

A: Bash does not perform variable expansion on a string disclosed in single quotes ('), so the problem with your script is here:
'$1 ~ "$query" {print $3}'

It must be something like this:
'$1 ~ '"$query"' {print $3}'

But, even after fixing that your script will still be inefficient and prone to errors. So I suggest you to do that in a single awk call like this:
awk -F'\t' -v OFS='\t' '
NR==FNR { a[$0] = $3; next } {
    for (b in a) {
        if (index(b, $0)) {
            print $0, a[b]
            break
        }
    }
}' subject.tsv query.txt

A: although there is a lot of information missing in the question, like if the query file contains unique strings? or the subject file contains repeated strings? but given the current files and the requirement, please have the answer below, and since it is awk based, it should work on large files as well:
awk ' BEGIN{OFS="\t"}
    FILENAME ~ /subject.tsv$/ {
      color[$1]=$3
    }
    FILENAME ~ /query.txt$/ {
      for (i in color) {
      if ( i ~ $1 ) print $1, color[i]
    }
 }'  subject.tsv query.txt

Below is the output:
    pumpkin orange
    kiwi    green

A: In your version of codes using while, you need to pass the string you want to search for to awk command using -v option, otherwise awk will treat all as plain strings.
For example, if you want to pass a string 'pumpkin' contained by a variable query, you need to do like this:
query="pumpkin"; awk -v query=$query '$1 ~ query' subject.tsv

-v here is used to declare a variable that uses the content of a variable outside awk. You can see the explanation of awk

-v var=val
  --assign var=val

  Assign the value val to the variable var,  before  execution  of the  program  begins. Such variable values are available to the BEGIN rule of an AWK program.

Therefore, you can try to revise your codes accordingly by passing your query to the awk.

A: Here a bash solution
while read pattern; do
    column1=$(cut -d " " -f1 subject.tsv | grep "$pattern")
    allcolumns=$(echo "$pattern $(grep $column1 subject.tsv)")
    echo $allcolumns | cut -d " " -f1,4
done < query.txt

explanation
Read all lines of query.txt
while read pattern; do
   ...
done < query.txt

Find searchpattern in column1
while read pattern; do
   column1=$(cut -d " " -f1 subject.tsv | grep "$pattern")
   echo $column1
done < query.txt

output
pumpkinhead
kiwifruit

Merge pattern from query.txt with matches from subject.tsv
while read pattern; do
    column1=$(cut -d " " -f1 subject.tsv | grep "$pattern")
    allcolumns=$(echo "$pattern $(grep $column1 subject.tsv)")
    echo $allcolumns
done < query.txt

output
pumpkin pumpkinhead something orange
kiwi kiwifruit something green

Extract first an last field from merge
echo $allcolumns | cut -d " " -f1,4

output
pumpkin orange
kiwi green

A: You can try this command line Perl
$ perl -lane ' BEGIN { open($fh,"query.txt");@q=<$fh>;chomp(@q) } @s=/(\S+)/g;
    /$q[0]/ and print "$q[0] $s[2]"; if(eof) { close($ARGV); shift @q}; ' subject.tsv subject.tsv

with your inputs.
$ perl -lane ' BEGIN { open($fh,"query.txt");@q=<$fh>;chomp(@q) } @s=/(\S+)/g;
     /$q[0]/ and print "$q[0] $s[2]"; if(eof) { close($ARGV); shift @q}; ' subject.tsv subject.tsv

pumpkin orange
kiwi green

Our new topic to start the New Year is called 'Shaping Up' and is all about Health and Fitness. It offers lots of opportunities to get active and learn about our bodies. The official launch takes place on Monday afternoon (14th Jan) with a fun, but physical, exercise 'Boot Camp'. Children will need to bring lots of warm layers of sports clothing to wear outdoors, together with their trainers (for a potentially cold, muddy afternoon on the field!) which they will change into after lunch. All children will also need to make sure they have a named water bottle with them too!
Another main feature of this term's work, focussing on the body, requires children to prepare some project work at home.The project is aimed at producing resources that will help KS1 children understand about the body and show what has been learned this term in our science related work. Each child has been given an area to focus on and it is up to them whether they make a model, a booklet, a poster, a powerpoint presentation, a story, a dance or a collection of things to show what they have learned and help a KS1 child to understand it too. We would like to see a preview of their homework on 25th January so please make sure all work prepared is in school on that date!
The final exhibition will take place on Friday 8th February (the last day of term) and we will be inviting parents, as well as KS1 children, to view our efforts!

5 Ways Your Dog Senses The World Differently From You
Do dogs sense things differently than humans do' Well, yes and no. Dogs share the same basic senses with us: they see, hear, touch, smell and taste. But the level of their senses is different ' an important distinction when you're trying to figure out just what your dog is doing.
It was once thought that dogs were 'color-blind' ' only able to see shades of black and white with some grey, but scientific studies have found that's not true. Dogs can see in color ' ranging from blues and greens to greys and cr's, and of course, black and white. It's been estimated that humans can distinguish somewhere between 7 and 10 million different colors. (We don't even have names for that many colors!)
Dog Supplies: What's Needed Versus What Might Be Fun To Have
Buying a new dog is more than simply finding the cutest puppy in the store and buying a bag of dog food. Acquiring a new .....
Picture courtesy of Dr. P's site: http://www.uwsp.edu/psych/dog/dog.htm
But dogs have it all over humans in detecting motion ' that's one reason they can detect a cat up a tree at a much greater distance than you can! And their night vision is typically better than ours ' dogs have an additional reflective layer in the eye called the tapetum lucidum, which reflects light back into the receptor cells of the eye, which not only increases their night vision, but gives them that spooky appearance of eyes glowing in the dark.
When your dog is barking like crazy in the middle of the night, don't just assume he's lonely and wants you to get up and keep him company. He may be listening to something that you can't hear, that's extremely upsetting to him ' like a burglar breaking in your basement window.
A Brief History Of Seeing Eye Dogs
No one knows when the concept of using assistance animals for the blind first .....
Dogs can hear at four times the distance humans can ' that means you might hear something from a 100 yards away your dog could hear from a quarter of a mile away. Their ears are also better designed to gather more of the available sound wave ' they have 15 different muscles that move their ears in all directions, plus they can move one ear at a time ' and independently of the other to absorb even more information!
Dogs also have a well-developed sense of touch, surprising perhaps under all that fur, although this sense is much less sophisticated than a human's. Puppies are born with sensory receptors in their faces so they can find mama even if they're separated before they open their eyes. But they also can sense touch all over their bodies, just as humans can. One reason your dog flops down on the couch next to you and tries to snuggle up on a hot day (or any other day for that matter!) is because he likes the comfort of feeling that you're right there!
So you're bringing home that cute little puppy from the best breeder after doing .....
We can't even come close to our dog's ability to smell things. It's been estimated that a dog's sense of smell is 100,000 times more powerful than a human's. Scientists think that humans have about 40 million olfactory receptors, versus 2 billion for your dog! That's part of the reason dogs make such good trackers, and can trace scents across all sorts of distractions ' like across roadways or through dense woods.
Dogs also use their sense of smell as a communications tool ' when they're running around the park with their nose to the ground, sniffing everything in sight, they're actually reading the calling cards of everyone ' dogs, humans, cats, squirrels, and anyone or anything else, that has been there before him. Which is why he may not pay attention to you when you first get to the park ' he's trying to see if any of his buddies have been there before him!
Just as with humans, taste is closely linked to the sense of smell ' the main difference is humans won't eat something that smells bad; while dogs are the opposite ' the smellier the better. Dogs will gulp first and ask questions later.
12 Golden Rules For Every Dog Owner
Discipline and good behavior are not just for your Dog they apply to you, the pet-parent too. Buying a dog is not .....
While humans many times won't eat something that doesn't look appealing, let alone doesn't smell good, dogs are more concerned with smell, than taste. They frequently gobble down food before they have time to chew it, let alone taste it. But that's ok ' it's why when we clean out our refrigerators our dogs think it's time for treats.
So the next time your dog engages in some puzzling behavior, whether it's barking for no reason, or ignoring you at the park, he might not be trying to irritate you ' he's just responding to a different level of senses than you are. Take a moment to look around and try and figure out what's triggering his behavior before you get mad. Your dog could be trying to tell you something!

Committee recommends sticking with COVID spending process
By Adam Powell
For the past two weeks, the Selma City Council and Selma Mayor James Perkins Jr. have debated what to do regarding the city's process for spending coronavirus relief funds handed down by the state.
Controversy has swirled about the nature of the process, which was laid out in an email distributed by former Selma City Councilwoman Angela Benjamin following a June 30 meeting – Perkins has asserted that the process is illegal, while Benjamin claimed in a recent council meeting that the informal notes were supposed to be compiled into a formal document by Selma City Clerk Ivy Harrison and Selma City Attorney Major Madison.
During a meeting last week, the council rejected a motion from Selma City Councilwoman Jannie Thomas to officially adopt the informal process and passed the buck for adopting a process to the council's Administrative Committee, chaired by Selma City Councilwoman Christie Thomas.
Christie Thomas wasted little time addressing the issue during Wednesday's committee meeting, noting right away that the city had only 27 days left to spend the money allocated for pandemic relief, a short time frame in which to draft, adopt and implement a new spending process.
"I know that there was an issue with the process and the way it has been done," Christie Thomas said. "My recommendation is to keep it the way it has been."
Christie Thomas noted that the process has thus far functioned properly, with the city receiving reimbursements on time and Selma City Treasurer Ronita Wade running point on dealing with the state, and said that a special called meeting could be scheduled to approve any pressing requests from the mayor, who has asserted that the provision requiring council approval of expenditures is an unnecessary burden on his office.
When Christie Thomas asked the mayor his opinion on the recommendation, Perkins responded that he was "not in a position to debate it."
Christie Thomas opined that the city could possibly use some of the remaining relief funds to provide another round of supplemental pay to public safety workers, leading Selma City Councilwoman Lesia James to raise concerns about other departments not receiving such additional benefits.
"They're out there all the time, in the public, they're dealing with the public at all times," Christie Thomas said. "That's just a thought."
"We just have to be mindful of what others might say," James replied.
Selma City Councilman Clay Carmichael agreed, stating that any supplemental pay bumps should be "fair and equal to all employees."

Slipknot Previews New Era With 'The Chapeltown Rag'

SLIPKNOT Alexander Gay*
As we slip into the weekend, there's a new song from one of metal's most unmistakable bands that's knot to be missed.
Slipknot returns with its first new music in two years on Friday (Nov. 5) with "The Chapeltown Rag," a punishing, chugging five-minute song that previews an upcoming, as-yet-to-be-announced new album.
"Everything is god online and it's as evil as it gets / this is not a trick, either follow or repent," Corey Taylor growls at the top of "The Chapeltown Rag," seemingly named after the Chapeltown suburb of Leeds in England.
"It's a punisher man. It's classic Slipknot. And it's frenetic," says Taylor in a press release that accompanies the new track. "But lyrically, it's coming from a point of talking about the various manipulations that can happen when social media meets media itself. And the different ways that these manipulations can try to pull us in different directions, in the fact that we're all becoming addicts to it, which is very, very dangerous."
"'The Chapeltown Rag' facilitates a sort of mindset that you're going to like: it's along the barnburner side of things," says M. Shawn Crahan, aka Clown, in the same release.

The Iowa band will give "Chapeltown" its live debut Friday (Nov. 5) night in Los Angeles during Knotfest Los Angeles at the Banc of California Stadium; for the first time ever, Knotfest will broadcast via a livestream, available here.
Slipknot's last two albums, .5: The Gray Chapter and We Are Not Your Kind, topped the Billboard 200. Earlier this year, the band mourned the death of founding drummer Joey Jordison, who left the group in 2013 and died on July 26, 2021 after battling transverse myelitis. He was 46.
