BMW Regains the Lead in Luxury Lighting
BMW beats Audi in the race to market new 'exceptionally precise' OLED lights. The official 911-by-the-hour 'Porsche Driver' service expands to Berlin, and Switzerland!
Also, Freight News roundup: catching up with the Russia truck protest. Mega fines for French couriers. Germany and Austria hand out incorrect driving rights. UK and Dutch haulage associations both call for the French army in Calais.
First production OLED lights on new M4 GTS.

It was BMW who invented fancy lighting with its – supposedly – iconic 'halogen rings' almost two decades ago.
However, it wasn't until Audi's much later LED day-time running lights that the idea really caught on.
Despite showing the first OLEDs (Organic Light Emitting Diodes) at the 2013 Los Angeles Consumer Electronics Show, Audi has been beaten to the production punch by BMW with the new M4 GTS.
Made up of wafer thin material which illuminates across the entire surface – unlike LEDs which emit points of light – OLEDs dispense with lenses and the rest to allow much more compact light systems.
In the words of BMW, the new units are capable of 'exceptional precision'.
Swish tail lights are not as useful to British (or right hand) drivers as their front facing counterparts, which now mostly switch for driving on the other side of the road, and do away with the need for fiddly headlamp stickers.
But expect to see a set of OLEDs flashing past on the autobahn very soon.
The next stages are 3D tail lamps then OLED body panels. See more.
After kicking off in Stuttgart last March, the official 911-by-the-hour 'Porsche Drive' programme has now expanded to Berlin, and Switzerland. Prices range from €69 per hour for a Boxster or Cayman to €2599 per week for a 911 (the full Porsche model range is available). The cars can be hired from the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart and the dealerships in Franklinstrasse, central Berlin, and Rotkreuz, beside Zugersee in north central Switzerland, just above the Alps (between Zug and Lucern). Drivers must be at least 27-years old and the deposit is quite hefty but the package does include suggested driving routes. Gift vouchers from €30 are also available. See more, or see Porsche Drive.com.
roundup Freight News: RUSSIA. Far from petering out, the trucker protest against the new Platon electronic truck toll system is digging in for the winter. Two camps have been established on the outskirts of Moscow says The Moscow Times. Seventy drivers protested outside the city's presidential administration building yesterday. They want a nationwide referendum on the issue. Meanwhile, this afternoon, an amendment which reduces the fines by up to a hundredfold was signed into law. However, the toll rate will double on 1 March 2016 to 3.06RUB/km (£0.03). Revenues have already reached 1.468RUB billion (£14 million) according to a later report from Moscow Times. FRANCE. Twenty courier companies have been fined more than €670 between them for price-fixing in France from 2004-2010. The local subsidiaries of DHL, FedEx and TNT were caught up in the ring which also colluded on a fuel surcharge reports France24. 'Nearly the entire fabric of French industry and commerce was affected by the price-fixing practices including the e-business sector which was booming,' said the Competition Authority. LICENCES. More trouble on driving licences from some surprising countries: 'In some cases Austria and Germany have given incorrect driving rights to holders of certain truck or bus licences,' says the December Infringements Package from the European Commission, and 'Poland has not correctly transposed the rules on normal residence, notably concerning persons who live successively in different Member States,' it continues. Finland is in trouble too for failing to connect to the EU driving licences network RESPER. The previous infringements package also included several member state referrals on licence rules. CALAIS MIGRANT CRISIS. The RHA Road Haulage Association has renewed its call for the French army to be deployed in Calais to protect truck drivers. It follows a visit to the port last week by chief executive Richard Burnett. He says that the 1300 security staff currently on site – a mix of police and CRS riot squad – are only 'a drop in the ocean' compared to the up to six thousand migrants. The TLN Dutch Association for Transport and Logistics also called for the French army today saying the migrant activity around Calais has so far cost its members €150 million.

Bunkering explained
Bunkering is the process of supplying fuel to ships. For starters, is bunker fuel the same as diesel? Bunker fuel is quite different from diesel. The different types of bunker fuels are heavy fuel oil, diesel oil, marine gas oil, lube oil, and LNG fuel. Bunkering also involves all the logistics of distributing the fuel to the bunker tanks available on the ship.
How Much Fuel Does a Cruise Ship Use?
The amount of fuel that a cruise ship uses depends on various factors such as size, loading, and speed. An average cruise ship consumes about 30 to 50 gallons of fuel every mile for speeds of about 21 to 24 knots. However, ships cannot fuel on every port.
Can You Get Cruise Ship Fuel on Every Port?
Bunkering operations are conventionally done at seaports where modern equipment and technologies are available to carry out the operations efficiently and safely. Nowadays, bunkering can also be done at sea when the weather conditions allow for it.
Bunkering Planning and Safety Checks
In the past, bunkering of ships used to be a low value and low skill activity. Over the years, it became a highly focused operation because of the ever-increasing oil prices and imperative need for protecting the environment. For that, proper planning, preparation, and security checks have to be done for each bunkering process. There also has to be a person in charge (PIC) for both the delivering and receiving vessel.
Planning is usually done during a pre-bunkering meeting. The meeting highlights all the risks and discusses the set plans and operating procedure agreements. All involved individuals must also be briefed about their designated jobs. The bunkering plan includes the estimated filling grades, required quantities, filling sequences, and emergency procedures, among other things.
Safety Checks
The safety checks are usually done before the commencement of the bunkering operation. The safety checklist has six main sections. The sections are bunkers to be transferred, bunker tanks to be loaded, checks by Barge, checks before the transfer, declaration, and record of repetitive checks.
Is Bunkering Expensive?
Bunkering comes at relatively high. Is it that expensive? Well, these costs can be attributed to the high cost of bunkering fuel and the intensive process involved. Since it is expensive, does anyone have special offers? Some bunker traders offer discounted rates to cushion customers from the rising costs.

In the upgrade process I experienced several things that others might benefit from – so I thought I'd share some thoughts here.
First of all: remember to breathe! Things might fail on the way, but if you make a thorough plan of your upgrade you are more likely to succeed however things turn out. Also, the act of planning or thinking things through are as important as the official plan itself. Read through the Server requirements (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn951388.aspx), the upgrade planning guide (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn951396.aspx) and the guide for upgrading (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn951371.aspx) on Technet.
Make sure your existing servers are up to date up-front. I use Andrew Morpeth's blog to check for updates. Make sure the OS is up to date as well.
Make sure the back-end database is up to date as well. This is easy overlooked if you are a large company with someone else in charge of database servers, The requirement is CU6 if you run on SQL server 2014 or the latest service pack for SQL server 2012.
Microsoft's KB 3013769 this was supposed to be included in the December 2014 update rollup, which I already had in place.
You still need to apply the KB, as the install process seems to look for the specific KB by number.
One of the strangest things you might want to install up-front is .NET 3.5 on your Edge servers. This was never and still isn't is a requirement for Edge server, but the installer will stop and prompt you for it. For Windows Server 2012R2 the binaries are not directly available, so you need to apply the install media for the OS – which is why you better have it in place before you upgrade.
BE PREPARED TO GO BACK!
Make a snapshot of/backup all your servers, because it makes it easier to revert the changes on each server should you need to go back.
Make a good backup of your existing configuration in case you need to roll back. Snapshots do not fix everyting as CMS/databases are changed as soon you apply your new topology and go on upgrading. I prefer Lasse Wedø's backup script as it takes care of everything real smoothly. Make sure to check out his blog as it has a lot of backup and restore examples as well.
Back up your databases as well. Connect to your SQL server and backup all of the databases that Lync Server 2013 is using. You can normally skip any database with "dyn" in it's name, because it only holds dynamic (or current) information – for example like user presence state. But since database schema is upgraded through the process it makes it a whole lot easier to roll back if you have a backup.
If you have gone through the steps above then you are well prepared for the upgrade! Although the upgrade itself is "in-place" there is still a need for a separate server to run the Skype for Business Topology Builder. If you can afford it I would recommend a new and separate server for this – which you can dispose of when you are done updating (by then you can run it on your new Front End servers).
The documentation from Microsoft tells you to update the servers "inside – out", that is start with your Front End pool, then Mediation etc and Edge at the end. To me it was not clear whether you should run the "Upgrade to Skype for Business server 2015" on all pools and publish, and then run the Deployment Wizard in that order, OR just publish the change on one pool at a time and run the Wizard. I did the latter and it worked out for me.
Once you have published the topology you need to wait for it to be replicated to all servers. When I ran the Get-CsManagementStoreReplicationStatus cmdlet all I found was "Up-to-date: False" for every server – and it would not update. I checked the services on the Front End and noticed that MASTER replica service and the File Transfer Agent (FTA) service were both stopped. Restarting these only made them stop again shortly after, and reviewing Event Log told me that this was due to the fact that back-end database schema was updated and no longer compatible! It turns out that this is intentional, and taking a closer look at the replication status you will notice that the "last updated" time was around when you published the topology. So keep breathing and keep upgrading!
Tom-Inge Larsen (a former colleague) actually blogged about this some time ago. I'm not sure why this error occurs, at least I did not have any of his suggested interfering applications running, but nevertheless: The solution is simple – reboot the server and restart the Wizard!
Once all the Front End servers have been successfully upgraded via the Deployment Wizard you simply start the pool by running Start-CsPool from one of them. You might notice some warnings being displayed and the process takes at least 5 minutes, but in the end it will come around. Notice that even with the other pools/services still not upgraded all functionality has been restored.
From here you go back to your Skype for Business Topology Builder server and continue publishing upgrades for the remaining pools and servers – one by one, and "inside – out".
Once all your Lync servers have been upgraded you'll be happy to see that any third party Trusted Application servers are still working. In my case we were running a Competella Call Center as a UCMA version 4 application pool on our Lync Server 2013 solution, and this works well versus the Skype for Business pool. If you are upgrading from Lync Server 2010 then chances are that any UCMA version 3 application pools will work just as well – but you probably can't have application pools on both UMCA version 3 AND 4 since collocation is stated to only support one of them.
It is probably a "best practice" to upgrade any application pools to the latest UCMA version as well, but in case your application does not support that you can rest assured that it will keep running even with Lync now being Skype for Business!
After your upgrade is over be sure to test all functionality, including conferencing sharing features, response groups, conferencing web app client and mobile client etc. Make sure that the end user will have his or her expected functionality in place for the upcoming work hours.
Remember to deploy Kerberos authentication over again if you had this is place before the upgrade. You will have to rerun the New-CsKerberosAccount specifying the existing computer account (e.g. FABRIKAM\kerbauth) and New-CsKerberosAccountAssignment specifying your site.
Finally you would want to make sure that users can take advantage of the new Skype Directory search from their client, instead of the old-fashion email address reference. To achieve this you will simply need to remove any previous Skype Public provider reference and replace it with an updated version – as the cmdlet now contains several new options. This is explained in detail here. Notice that the Skype for Business client needs to be restarted after you have updated the server-side settings.
So – if you made it to the end of this blog post you should definitely make it work for your own upgrade as well! Good luck!

The ocs problem occurs because a mmc stops a service from deleating. Close mmc's like Services (the one I had running) and simply click Retry to continue the installation.

Q: Как изменить названия log файла в screen Как изменить название log файла при запуске:
screen -L

A: дополнение от 20170119
в новой версии 4.5.0 добавили возможность прямого указания имени файла с логами — опцию -L:

Version 4.5.0 (10/12/2016):
    * Allow specifying logfile's name via command line parameter '-L'

имя файла, в который сохраняется лог, устанавливается директивой logfile в конфигурационном файле (по умолчанию — ~/.screenrc, но его можно переопределить либо через опцию -c путь/к/конф/файлу, либо через переменную окружения SCREEENRC).
по умолчанию значение директивы logfile — это screenlog.%n, где %n — это номер окна (window). создаваемые внутри одной сессии окна нумеруются последовательно, начиная с нуля.
лог-файлы не перезаписываются, а дополняются новой информацией.

если вы хотите, чтобы для каждой сессии создавался свой уникальный лог-файл, то можно в имени лог-файла использовать не только %n, но и другие спец-символы. например:

*

*%S — имя сессии

*%c — текущее время в 24-часовом формате HH:MM

*%s — секунды

*и т.п., подробнее смотрите в секции string escapes в man screen или info screen string escapes

например, добавьте в ~/.screenrc строку
logfile myscreenlog.%Y%m%d.%c:%s.%n

и тогда в текущем (на момент запуска программы screen) каталоге получите лог-файлы с такими примерно именами:

*

*myscreenlog.20160719.15:11:39.0 — для первого окна

*myscreenlog.20160719.15:12:02.1 — для второго окна

разумеется, можно указать и не относительный путь к лог-файлам, а абсолютный (каталог, естественно, должен существовать на момент запуска программы screen).

дополнительная информация:

*

*Is it possible to name the 'screen' logfile from the -L flag?

*Specifying a log name for screen output without relying on .screenrc

Video Game Release Dates
Dungeons & Dragons Confirms Mythic Odysseys of Theros Delay
By Christian Hoffer - May 4, 2020 01:35 pm EDT
Dungeons & Dragons has confirmed the delay for its upcoming Mythic Odysseys of Theros sourcebook on its website. Earlier today, ComicBook.com reported that Amazon had updated the release date for Mythic Odysseys of Theros on its pre-order page, moving the date from June 2nd to July 21st. Now, Dungeons & Dragons has updated the release date on its own page for the upcoming book, confirming that the new campaign book won't be physically released until July. While the D&D team has yet to publicly comment on the release date, it's likely due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which has shut down both retail game stores and led to nationwide disruptions in supply lines. Since many game stores will likely still be closed come June, Wizards of the Coast probably made the right move, especially in the wake of other major gaming companies pushing product releases until later in the year to mitigate both overall losses in sales due to store closures and stores struggling to compete with online retailers like Amazon that have stayed open during the pandemic.
In an official announcement on their Twitter profile, the D&D team confirmed that fans could still digitally access Mythic Odysseys of Theros on June 2nd via D&D Beyond, Roll 20, and Fantasy Grounds. All three are digital platforms that act as both compediums of D&D material and tool kits for players and DMs.
Mythic Odysseys of Theros was set to be Dungeons & Dragons' second crossover with Magic: The Gathering, and would allow players to explore the Magic: The Gathering plane of Theros. Inspired by Greek myths, Theros is a land of epic battles and heroes imbued with the power of the gods. The new campaign setting book will introduce two new subclasses, a new kind of Mythic monster, and two new playable races, along with new magic items taken straight from Magic: The Gathering.
Although the delay is a disappointment for many D&D fans, the game itself has thrived during the COVID-19 pandemic. Dungeons & Dragons has emerged as a fun distraction for millions of players, who can play using various video conferencing and virtual tabletop options. The D&D team has also released several popular adventures to download and play for free to help new and veteran fans pass the time during the pandemic.
Mythic Odysseys of Theros will now be released on July 21st. The retail price for the book is still $49.95.

Andrew's Judgmental Album Reviews: Exodus – Persona Non Grata (2021)
The JAR has spent a lot of time with classic bands who decided to take the time awarded by 2020 and retool an approach and try to recapture some old magic. How does the new Exodus fair? The JAR did love the old Toxic Waltz…
Andrew Balaz
Now Exodus is an interesting band. Technically pre-dating most of the thrash bands of the 80s, they never quite broke through. Where Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer and Anthrax are the Big Four, Exodus was always clumped into the next pile. No there is no such thing as a Big 8 or Big 5, as much as people love Overkill, Death Angel, Testament and Exodus, you can't just make crap up.
Exodus has been through more lineup changes than Megadeth, so that definitely makes each album a coin flip; especially when they've had four different singers. This lineup sees Steve 'Zetro' Souza stick around since 2014 on his third stint with the band. So if you like Zetro's vocal stylings, this might fit right into your playlists.
Artist: Exodus
Album: Persona Non Grata (2021)
Total Track Time: 60:17
Persona Non Grata the titular song kicks off with quick double bass drum kicks, a ripping guitar and sets a very ferocious pace right off the bat. The lower growled vocals behind Zetro's lead give things and interesting Mercyful Fate feel. Then we get a small bridge slowing things down a little, but the crunch and heaviness of the guitars feels more like a brief respite before breaking back out into a sprint. Plus the lyrics are great with the meaning of Persona Non Grata. Just talking about basically eating shit and being generally unwelcomed/unappreciated and using the person as a beacon of spite. The early fury, calming a little as the rage builds back and ending aggressive is a great way to flavor this song. Then we go into a sludgy Doom style riff with the layered screams of pain and hatred. This is a crazy clever song that most people can probably relate to. R.E.M.F. well talk about an interesting reference. R.E.M.F. stands for Rear Echelon Mother Fuckers, which is effectively a military term for someone who just kissed a lot of ass to get to the top. So it paints the picture of people that are unqualified deciding who and where the wars get fought. If you have a boss who just sucked up to the right people and have no clue what you do or what they're really supposed to do, well then, they're a Rear Echelon Mother Fucker.
Slipping Into Madness has a slower open. We get deliberate marching drums, a crunchy rhythm guitar and light lead that eventually picks up when the lyrics kick in. Now I love this line, "Slipping into madness, Fire up the high – Slipping into madness, Just slip away and die". There's also a line about ground control has killed Major Tom. It's a fantastically colorful way of lashing out against addiction be it from the streets or big pharma. And the light wahh'd out strum on the lead makes more sense to give kinda that dizzy slipping feeling in the music. I wasn't expecting an Iron Maiden style double guitar solo, but it's wonderful. Elitist well purely from the title, this is perfect for a primarily wrestling website now ain't it? As for the song, it's a cool driving song, feels more in the early 90s/80s vein of thrash, but the lyrics basically prove the title gives it away. Just a simple song about contempt for the rich elitists who just use and use and expect more. Simple doesn't mean bad, and if anything; it's a nice little palate cleanser after the last couple more complex songs.
Prescribing Horror now this starts off slow like a horror movie. Gentle cymbal taps, into a slow guitar, crashes come in when the crunch on the guitars gets heavier and we've got church bells to accent things as well. I really like this opening. OKAY, now they're teaching people things. This song is about the Thalidomide tragedy in the 50s in West Germany. It was a drug that was released as something that could cure coughs, colds and headaches, but apparently was toxic to pregnant women. After just a few years of being released it was taken off the market after being responsible for thousands of birth defects and deaths either miscarried or after birth. So the song has a slow and haunting rhythm, cause damn that's a heavy topic. Remember kids, knowing is half the battle. The Beatings Will Continue (Until Morale Improves) and now I got flashbacks to my grandfather purely from the title. But it starts out a little hokey, a recorded countdown, a siren and fun fast instrumentation. This feels a lot like Toxic Waltz and that's not a bad thing. Especially after such a goddamned dark song, I like a little uptempo most pit stupidity. The lyrics might be a not so veiled commentary on the how the police dealt with riots in the last few years, but I'm choosing to just focus on the music.
The Years of Death and Dying this song is basically covid's perspective on the pandemic. It's really cool, it's heavy, the chorus is a little awkward going into a bit of a spiral riff; but generally this is cool. Another Bowie reference when he claims "I turned Ziggy into stardust". I also like how one of the major themes is that this has become out legacy, so it will live forever. Clickbait see and this song is why we don't do clickbait garbage news on The Chairshot. Sheep will swallow it all but the smarter fans (which you all are) would just get offended by those trash tactics. Cosa Del Pantano is little instrumental with the Italian name for Swamp thing. It definitely has that bluesy Deliverance kind of vibe, so it works for what it's supposed to be about.
Lunatic-Liar-Lord continues that bluesy southern riff from Swamp Thing and then thrashes it up. So they connect the two well. Lyrically I can see many basically saying this about the Trump regime, as to not assume anyone's political leanings, I will argue that lyrically this is very applicable to many things in history. I like how the song picks up the aggression when it needs to, but the verses are punctuated with a slower distortion so nothing is lost. I can really see this song picking up steam because of how people want to interpret the lyrics, but they are generalized enough to not push anyone away, they are stinging without being obvious and the music accompanies it all really well. The Fires of Division a song about MATH! No-obviously it's not. This is another well written song lyrically, because it's right. Both sides have stoked the fires of hatred between everyone and with all of the stories of people disowning family over who they voted for or an opinion, the division isn't because of just one side. The song isn't as thrashy as most of the album, it definitely slows things down a bit. The rhythm guitar tries to gallop through to drive some Thrash, but this definitely feels more Seek and Destroy where it's heavy and it fits the album, but it's not Thrash.
Antiseed lyrically is a great way to end things being about indiscriminate slaughter and murder being the seed where everything dies. The antiseed where death grows. There is a really interesting rhythm lick that sounds southern rockish and bluesy. Between the guitar crunch, double bass and furious drumming, that little rhythm piece caught my attention. It just weaves into the song in an interesting way to add a weird peacefulness to violence harvesting more death.
So damn, that was a hell of a ride. Heavy, attacking, a little educational and songs about the last two years that don't really take sides. Musically they stayed in that vein that many of the old school Thrash bands have since the mid-00s where it's more heavy and crunchy as opposed to some of the goofy and fun nonsense like Caught in a Mosh, Toxic Waltz and Bored.
While I feel the first half is definitely stronger, that is by no means an indictment on the album. I will say it was smart of them to put politically charged songs toward the end, so if anyone got angry at the lyrics because they assumed the sentiment was against their own, they might already be invested in the album. Well structured, lyrics and music were mostly complimentary, Zetro sounded great and even though I never mentioned it, yes there was bass…this isn't …And Justice for All. Just none of the bass licks struck me as hard as everything else. Damn good album, might be my favorite Exodus album to date. I should probably go relisten to Exhibit B just to be sure though.

YO! The JAR tends to like the New Wave of British Heavy Metal sound. This band is inspired by that 80s sound and it shines brightly! Check it out!
Now this is not exactly a unique band name since I'm aware of at least two other "Eliminators", but this one is from England and been around for about a decade. Similarly as to the first review of 2022, I was clicking around looking for something that struck my interest early on in this new year.
They are from England and stick in that Iron Maiden/Judas Priest New Wave of British Heavy Metal sound. I'm interested to see if they stick in the classic Heavy Metal sound, or if they put their own spin on it. Let's get to the album!
Artist: Eliminator
Album: Ancient Light (2022)
Label: Dissonance Productions
Arrival it definitely strikes you in the face with that Iron Maiden kind of vibe. But the fun this about halfway through, they solo out the bass to lead into a great dueling guitar instrumental section. It doesn't have the Maiden Gallop but it feels more like old Kill 'Em All Metallica in the approach to how they put that together. Really rocking opening song with great guitar parts. Silent Stone opens with a very prominent Bassline complimented with just a quick guitar flair and then into more of that Maiden-esque sound. I really appreciate that the dual guitar parts are more harmonic and less lead trades. They complement each other very well and the rhythm section ties it all together beautifully. So far these first two songs feel like they were ripped out of time from Iron Maiden's cutting room floor, but that's not really an insult; because I'm referring to good Maiden. Like Somewhere in Time, No Prayer for the Dying, Fear of the Dark; that era. So not the 80s peak, but still notable Maiden.
Ancient Light starts a little more erratic and then goes into a slower ballad like delivery before the guitars start to drive the tone and tempo back up to the established energy level of the album. While the instrumentation really does stay in league with the band I keep referencing, the vocal tone the singer takes feels more like Geoff Tate from Queensryche until we get to a breakdown and he turns up the head voice and vocal fry usage like 80s Bruce Dickinson. Goddess of Life is the first song to really utilize that Maiden Gallop in the instrumentation. It does flip the arrangement from the last song where it starts off heavy and galloping and then really slows down to this epic moment when the guitars kick in for their duel and reignite the tempo. Only real complaint is they stay in that gallop for so much of the song, the tempo change is the only really intriguing part of the song, and the rest almost becomes a metronome boring me just a little bit. The Sculptor of the Stone Lady well they got their naming conventions from either Iron Maiden or Nightwish. So this is at least very on brand. One of my favorite aspects of these first few songs, is how audible the basslines are. They keep things moving, lock really well with the drum for the rhythm section and too often do bass parts get lost in the mix (I'm looking at you And Justice for All). This song also has a little flamenco guitar break similar to Marty Friedman's in Holy Wars. The difference is the break actually bridges into a verse with the adjusted tempo, they come out and adjust the tempo again to the swaying almost rock anthem sounding instrumentation. I'm not gonna lie, all of the small changes really had me feeling some Dream Theater vibes, but it was all done really well. They're just this great building flourish to one final line and then the song ends after a little more noodling. Damn fun song.
Lord of Sleep, Dreammaster someone call Dokken, we need the Dream Warriors! Not really a lot of places to go with breaking this down, the lyrics play in this high fantasy section, so it's cool and it has many of the similar elements from previous songs with tempo changes, guitar duel and stays driving but the drummer does a much better job with fills to keep the song engaging and not hypnotizing. The Library immediately, I got some King Diamond vibes. From the simple yet ominous title to a quicker opening before steering back into the ominous haunted feeling. But the guitar tone while still very Maiden, reminds me more of like a Welcome Home. And when it picks back up about 2/3rds of the way through the song, again that Maiden/Diamond mixture really just resonates with me. It's a well put together song and paints great imagery. Mercy definitely using much more vocal fry technique, this sounds more like later 90s Dickinson where it's going for a heavier tone instead of the grandiose epic vibe. While not bad, the lyrics not being overly enunciated for the sake of using fry and the instrumentation not being anything creative, it falls into that 'kinda boring' vein.
Foreverless so a made up word is either going to be a poignant song, or irritating. While it takes about 50 seconds for the lyrics to kick in, it switches things up 2 or 3 times and then goes into a straight Iron Maiden epic sound. We mean like more current Maiden, Benjamin Breeg comes to mind. But they keep the rhythm rocking, the drum crashes and fills mixed with a proper amount of falsetto and fry actually do drive this song well. It's pretty cool when we get about halfway to a small guitar solo before the story of the song switches to more of the Maiden gallop and what could be interpreted as a glorious resolution. The Nightmare of Aeon let's see if they are using Aeon to mean life or if they're just really big fans of Final Fantasy 10. This takes a demonic almost approach, with church bells, a trudging tempo and what sounds like drowned out choral backing vocals. So it's really hammering down on the dark and foreboding vibe. We get a nearly listless feeling from the guitar solo as it bridges the verses together. We go from an implied spiral to slowly picking up steam back into the Maiden-esque gallop and power, even with an audible fret slide. Hitting the last line if "Nightmare of aeon…" as the song just fades is a nice touch.
So I've seen a couple comments and I can't help but agree; that this album is what Senjutsu could have been. We get the Iron Maiden album we deserved last year. Eliminator does a great job at not dragging on too long, even songs that had that longer epic feel, quickly came to fruition with the longest song being Foreverless at 6:31. That may not sound short, but when current Maiden likes 9+ minute songs…6 and change is short as hell. But what does this all mean? The album is really damn good. I may have started to get a little bored at times, but nothing was egregious or terrible.
With all that said, if you like Iron Maiden you'll love this band. Give it a spin!
Final Judgment: 8.1/10

Lawsuit seeks to restore healthcare to critically ill cancer patient, & hundreds more
MEJP, ACLU of Maine sue DHHS to overturn unconstitutional change in law
Hans-Bruns was cut off from his MaineCare because of a LePage policy. He has cancer and since then has only received emergency care for his critical illness because of Maine's new policy that discriminates against immigrants. courtesy photo
Maine Equal Justice Partners and the American Civil Liberties Union of Maine Foundation today filed suit in U.S. District Court against the Maine Department of Health and Human Services to restore health insurance coverage for a man with a life-threatening illness who is suffering unbearable pain.
The suit was brought on behalf of Hans Bruns, a resident of Fort Fairfield who lost health care coverage through MaineCare in October. In addition, the suit seeks class status for an estimated 500 individuals who were also denied coverage as part of a change in state law adopted last year.
"Hans Bruns has cancer and is suffering from incredible pain. Without proper treatment, Hans faces a terrifying and painful fight for his life with a very poor prognosis for survival," said Robyn Merrill, a policy analyst and attorney for Maine Equal Justice Partners. "We are asking the court to restore Hans' health insurance coverage so he can get the full range of treatment that could result in better health outcomes and ease his suffering."
According to an affidavit from Dr. Danielle N. Margalit, a physician in the Department of Radiation Oncology, Head and Neck Oncology Program, at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, Bruns has adenoid cystic carcinoma of the right parotid gland, which has created a large tumor in his neck. He also has an apparent lesion in his lung, which may be a distant metastases of the cancer.
Bruns is currently receiving basic care for his condition, the cost of which is being shifted onto private health insurance premiums through the state's bad debt and charity care law. Bruns is not receiving all the care that someone with Medicaid is entitled to. He is not eligible for assistance with the cost of travel from his home to Presque Isle for treatment, is not getting coverage for needed prescription drugs and is not eligible for nursing or other care, which may become necessary.
Jennifer Archer, an attorney with Kelly, Remmel & Zimmerman working pro bono, is leading the case.
"Hans and many others have been improperly, and without sufficient justification, singled out and denied health insurance coverage that provides medically necessary treatment," Archer said. "Hans' life hangs in the balance today, but we know that there are hundreds of other Maine residents who also are being wrongly denied necessary medical care. We are asking the court to find that current law violates the Constitution and order the Department of Health and Human Services to restore health insurance coverage for Hans and other, similarly situated individuals."
In June 2011, the Maine Legislature passed PL 2001, Ch. 380, subsection KK-4, which terminated MaineCare benefits for people from other countries who are lawfully residing in Maine and imposed a five-year wait period for lawful permanent residents before they can qualify for coverage. Bruns and approximately 500 other lawfully residing immigrants lost health care coverage in October.
Bruns has been a lawful permanent resident of the United States since Dec. 16, 2007. He is originally from Germany. He has been a resident of Maine since 2009. Bruns received health insurance coverage through MaineCare for more than a year. If not for the change in state law, he would still be eligible for coverage.
Without MaineCare, Bruns and the other members of the class are unable to pay for the cost of necessary health care, including the treatment for serious illnesses.
"Hans and an estimated 500 other Mainers have been put in jeopardy by being inappropriately denied access to health care. We believe that current Maine law, as adopted last year, violates the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution, and that health care coverage should be restored," said Zachary Heiden, the legal director for the ACLU of Maine.
UPDATE: Hans has passed away since this article was written– he had no healthcare at the end.


The Jesse and Julie Rasch Foundation > Programs & Grants > Featured Projects > Health > Hodgkin's Lymphoma: A Product of the (Micro)Environment?
Hodgkin's Lymphoma is a lymphoid cancer characterized by the presence of malignant Hodgkin Reed-Sternberg cells that comprise a minority of the cells in the cancerous tumor. Additional cells (the microenvironment) represent the majority of cellular elements in the tumor and may be a host reaction to the lymphoma or could contribute to sustaining the cancer as a permissive environment recruited by the tumor. In this context, Hodgkin's Lymphoma may be best considered not simply as a mass of rogue cancer cells in the body, but instead as a type of "malignant-ecosystem" comprised of a number of different cell types working together in concert. These cells communicate and influence each other through a network of small-molecule/metabolite and protein signals that ultimately serve to sustain the tumor and contribute to the pathology of the disease.
Dr. Rob Laister, a postdoctoral fellow at the Princess Margaret Cancer Center in Toronto and Dr. John Kuruvilla MD, a clinician at the same institution as well as an assistant professor at the University of Toronto Department of Medicine, propose that understanding how Hodgkin's Lymphoma microenvironment networks are critical to the growth and survival of the tumor cells will provide important insights into the biology of Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Identifying strategies that can influence these interactions will provide new opportunities for treatments currently in development or entirely novel therapies.

Don't listen to anyone who says you should eat your burgers upside down
Filed to: BurgersFiled to: Burgers
Photo: GOLFX (iStock)
Over the weekend, INSIDER published a story with the rather provocative and internety headline "It turns out you've probably been eating burgers wrong your entire life." Look, it's not like we're not above that level of pedantry, but INSIDER's assertion that eating a burger upside down yields a superior experience is something that sounds intriguing on paper but in practice is food writing diarrhea.
Let's lay out their two central argument for eating a burger upside down:
Citing bottom soggage, having the thicker crown (typically the top part of the bun) on the bottom makes for greater structural integrity.
Your tongue comes in contact with the toppings first, which they cite one Reddit user as "easier to taste."
Now, allow The Takeout to make its rebuttal:
This is dumb.
If your burgers are falling apart between your hands then the fault lies with the restaurant, and the onus shouldn't be on the consumer to find a workaround.
You look like a doofus eating a burger upside down in public.
We don't want to just crap all over INSIDER for making da internetz—we're all in the same boat—but their logic is faulty and there are better solutions. I immediately reached out to Dan Pashman, host of the James Beard Award-winning podcast The Sporkful, who's known for his rigorous A/B testings of food-consumption best practices.
Pashman told The Takeout that yes, while juices leeching from the patty onto the bun can be a concern, there are two ways to mitigate this: 1) By sourcing a better-quality bun and toasting it, and 2) Place the cheese beneath the patty, thereby "creating a seal so you don't have quite so much juice flowing directly onto the bottom bun."
We both agree that it's their "tongue comes in contact with toppings" argument where the conceit goes of the rails.
"The burger is the star. I don't want the first things my tongue hits to be the thick piece of bread followed by tomato, lettuce, and onions," Pashman said. "What are we eating, Subway?!"
If we want to go knee-deep in the details, one could make an argument that the ideal order of texture and temperature is to first feel the warm beefy juices against the palate, followed by the cool zing and crispiness of the toppings—as opposed to cool first, warmth second.
We are in favor of better eating experiences. Unfortunately, this "tip" is based on a super-sized fallacy and comes with a side of bewildered stares.
