3 World War I
World War I was a global war originating in Europe that lasted from 28 July 1914 to 11 November 1918. Contemporaneously known as the Great War or "the war to end all wars", it led to the mobilisation of more than 70 million military personnel, including 60 million Europeans, making it one of the largest wars in history. It is also one of the deadliest conflicts in history, with an estimated 9 million combatant deaths and 13 million civilian deaths as a direct result of the war, while resulting genocides and the related 1918 Spanish flu pandemic caused another 17–100 million deaths worldwide, including an estimated 2.64 million Spanish flu deaths in Europe and as many as 675,000 Spanish flu deaths in the United States.More

Brussels, officially the Brussels-Capital Region, is a region of Belgium comprising 19 municipalities, including the City of Brussels, which is the capital of Belgium. The Brussels-Capital Region is located in the central portion of the country and is a part of both the French Community of Belgium and the Flemish Community, but is separate from the Flemish Region and the Walloon Region. Brussels is the most densely populated and the richest region in Belgium in terms of GDP per capita. It covers 162 km2 (63 sq mi), a relatively small area compared to the two other regions, and has a population of over 1.2 million. The five times larger metropolitan area of Brussels comprises over 2.5 million people, which makes it the largest in Belgium. It is also part of a large conurbation extending towards Ghent, Antwerp, Leuven and Walloon Brabant, home to over 5 million people.More
8 Budapest
Budapest is the capital and the most populous city of Hungary, and the ninth-largest city in the European Union by population within city limits. The city has an estimated population of 1,752,286 over a land area of about 525 square kilometres. Budapest is both a city and county, and forms the centre of the Budapest metropolitan area, which has an area of 7,626 square kilometres and a population of 3,303,786, comprising 33% of the population of Hungary.More

10 1936 Summer Olympics
The 1936 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XI Olympiad, were an international multi-sport event held from 1 to 16 August 1936 in Berlin, Germany. Berlin won the bid to host the Games over Barcelona at the 29th IOC Session on 26 April 1931.

Parade for the opening of the stadium on 8 June 1913
The 1916 Summer Olympics (German: Olympische Sommerspiele 1916), officially known as the Games of the VI Olympiad, were scheduled to be held in Berlin, German Empire, but were eventually cancelled due to the outbreak of World War I. Berlin was selected as the host city during the 14th IOC Session in Stockholm on 4 July 1912,[1] defeating bids from Alexandria, Amsterdam, Brussels, Budapest and Cleveland.[2] After the 1916 Games were cancelled, Berlin would eventually host the 1936 Summer Olympics, twenty years later.
Work on the stadium, the Deutsches Stadion ("German Stadium"), began in 1912 at what was the Grunewald Race Course. It was planned to seat more than 18,000 spectators.[3] On 8 June 1913, the stadium was dedicated with the release of 10,000 pigeons. 60,000 people were in attendance.[4]
At the outbreak of World War I in 1914, organization continued as no one expected that the war would continue for several years. Eventually, though, the Games were cancelled.[5]
A winter sports week with speed skating, figure skating, ice hockey and Nordic skiing was planned; the concept of this week eventually gave rise to the first Winter Olympic Games. The central venue was to have been the Deutsches Stadion.
Berlin returned to Olympic bidding in 1931, when it beat Barcelona, Spain, for the right to host the 1936 Summer Olympics, the last Olympics before the outbreak of World War II.[6]

1 Deutsches Stadion (Berlin)
Deutsches Stadion was a multi-use sports stadium in Berlin, Germany. It was located at Deutsches Sportforum in the present-day Westend quarter on the northern rim of the large Grunewald forest. Built according to plans designed by Otto March, it was opened on 8 June 1913, on the occasion of Emperor Wilhelm's II silver jubilee, due to host the 1916 Summer Olympics that were cancelled after the outbreak of World War I. The stadium was destroyed 20 years later and replaced by the current Olympiastadion.More
2 1916 Summer Olympics
The 1916 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the VI Olympiad, were scheduled to be held in Berlin, German Empire, but were eventually cancelled due to the outbreak of World War I. Berlin was selected as the host city during the 14th IOC Session in Stockholm on 4 July 1912, defeating bids from Alexandria, Amsterdam, Brussels, Budapest and Cleveland. After the 1916 Games were cancelled, Berlin would eventually host the 1936 Summer Olympics, twenty years later.More
3 Speed skating
Speed skating is a competitive form of ice skating in which the competitors race each other in travelling a certain distance on skates. Types of speed skating are long track speed skating, short track speed skating, and marathon speed skating. In the Olympic Games, long-track speed skating is usually referred to as just "speed skating", while short-track speed skating is known as "short track". The International Skating Union (ISU), the governing body of both ice sports, refers to long track as "speed skating" and short track as "short track skating".More
4 Figure skating
Figure skating is a sport in which individuals, pairs, or groups perform on figure skates on ice. It was the first winter sport to be included in the Olympic Games, when contested at the 1908 Olympics in London. The four Olympic disciplines are men's singles, ladies' singles, pair skating, and ice dance; the non-Olympic disciplines include synchronized skating, Theater on Ice, and four skating. From intermediate through senior-level competition, skaters generally perform two programs, which, depending on the discipline, may include spins, jumps, moves in the field, lifts, throw jumps, death spirals, and other elements or moves.More
5 Ice hockey
Ice hockey is a contact team sport played on ice, usually in a rink, in which two teams of skaters use their sticks to shoot a vulcanized rubber puck into their opponent's net to score goals. The sport is known to be fast-paced and physical, with teams usually fielding six players at a time: one goaltender, and five players who skate the span of the ice trying to control the puck and score goals against the opposing team.More
6 Nordic skiing
Nordic skiing encompasses the various types of skiing in which the toe of the ski boot is fixed to the binding in a manner that allows the heel to rise off the ski, unlike Alpine skiing, where the boot is attached to the ski from toe to heel. Recreational disciplines include cross-country skiing and Telemark skiing.More
7 1924 Winter Olympics
The 1924 Winter Olympics, officially known as the I Olympic Winter Games, were a winter multi-sport event which was held in 1924 in Chamonix, France. Originally held in association with the 1924 Summer Olympics, the sports competitions were held at the foot of Mont Blanc in Chamonix, and Haute-Savoie, France between January 25 and February 5, 1924. The Games were organized by the French Olympic Committee, and were originally reckoned as the "International Winter Sports Week." With the success of the event, it was retroactively designated by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) as the I Olympic Winter Games.More
8 Winter Olympic Games
The Winter Olympic Games is a major international multi-sport event held once every four years for sports practiced on snow and ice. The first Winter Olympic Games, the 1924 Winter Olympics, were held in Chamonix, France. The modern Olympic Games were inspired by the ancient Olympic Games, which were held in Olympia, Greece, from the 8th century BC to the 4th century AD. Baron Pierre de Coubertin founded the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in 1894, leading to the first modern Summer Olympic Games in Athens, Greece in 1896. The IOC is the governing body of the Olympic Movement, with the Olympic Charter defining its structure and authority.More
Barcelona is a city on the coast of northeastern Spain. It is the capital and largest city of the autonomous community of Catalonia, as well as the second most populous municipality of Spain. With a population of 1.6 million within city limits, its urban area extends to numerous neighbouring municipalities within the Province of Barcelona and is home to around 4.8 million people, making it the fifth most populous urban area in the European Union after Paris, the Ruhr area, Madrid, and Milan. It is one of the largest metropolises on the Mediterranean Sea, located on the coast between the mouths of the rivers Llobregat and Besòs, and bounded to the west by the Serra de Collserola mountain range, the tallest peak of which is 512 metres high.More
10 Second Spanish Republic
The Spanish Republic, commonly known as the Second Spanish Republic, was the form of government in Spain from 1931 to 1939. The Republic was proclaimed on 14 April 1931, after the deposition of Alfonso XIII, and was dissolved on 1 April 1939 after surrendering in the Spanish Civil War to the rebel faction that fought to establish a military dictatorship under General Francisco Franco.More
11 World War II
World War II, also known as the Second World War, was a global war that lasted from 1939 to 1945. It involved the vast majority of the world's countries—including all the great powers—forming two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis. In a state of total war, directly involving more than 100 million personnel from more than 30 countries, the major participants threw their entire economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities behind the war effort, blurring the distinction between civilian and military resources. World War II was the deadliest conflict in human history, resulting in 70 to 85 million fatalities, with more civilians than military personnel killed. Tens of millions of people died due to genocides, premeditated death from starvation, massacres, and disease. Aircraft played a major role in the conflict, including in strategic bombing of population centres, the development of nuclear weapons, and the only two uses of such in war.More

Gone days another prominent scam came to light highlighting the ways in which the Punjab National Bank (PNB), a highly trusted institution served a gateway for Nirav Modi to run away with taxpayers' money. Within the last five years, over 23,000 fraud cases involving at least INR1 lakh crore have been registered with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). Banks are losing credibility at a fast pace by not learning anything from previous mistakes.
The only way to improve bank's accountability is to find ways to minimize human intervention and digitize most of the backend processes of the banks. A disruptive technology, blockchain makes use of distributed databases, cryptography and math for recording transactions. A lot many accounting ledger databases are synced with the same transaction information. Just like Lego blocks, every new transaction will get stacked sequentially.
With suppliers, producers, banks, retailers, auditors recording and maintaining their individual activities is where fraudulent activities manifest. A shared database will ask for an authentication at every step from relevant participants leading to a more secure transaction process monitoring access activities of various entities.
The most central feature of this technology is that a record once added cannot be modified by editing or get deleted. Had a blockchain platform be used to issue even Letter of credits, then scams of the likes of Nirav Modi – PNB would never have happened. A smart contract would have already stated rules of the LOC issuance which would be non-deletable.
Distributed ledgers have a bright future down the road. Being an open-source and a secure platform, blockchain will not only bring cost related to payment processing down but also will generate new sources of revenue by creating new products and offerings. A global payment system needs to be created by both banking and non-banking institutions in order to turn the blockchain potential into reality.
According to the World Bank records, nearly two million people are estimated to be missing out on basic financial services due to not holding a bank account. The lack of interoperability between digital services and payment platforms has hampered expansion of services like those provided by M-Pesa, a platform that has helped close to 194,000 Kenyan platforms move out of poverty.
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has tried addressing this problem by partnering with Ripple, a blockchain platform and few other fintech developers and has come up with 'Mojaloop' – an open source software to help unbanked people all over with by creating payment platforms to allow them access to varied digital financial services.

How would you like to buy a pair of Andrew Wiggins shoes? This will most likely be possible in the near future. NBA teams are not the only ones drooling over Wiggins, waiting for him to finish at Kansas.
Big sneaker companies Nike, Adidas and Under Armor are all waiting for Andrew to finish his freshman year at KU and to get drafted in the NBA so they can start production on his shoe line.
Andrew Wiggins shoes.
How Much Would Andrew Wiggins Get for a Shoe Deal?
A shoe deal for Andrew Wiggins could be a multi-million dollar deal. The reason is that he is set to be the next NBA star and due to Under Armour entering the sneaker business, he could inspire the first three-company bidding war for a sneaker deal!
The current rumored price for this deal is $180 million. You read that right.
Nike is well known for making shoes backed by athletes, the most famous being Air Jordans, the sneakers featuring Michael Jordan. Andrew played for an AAU team that was sponsored by Nike and he also attended Nike basketball camps and at this point seems to really like the brand. Nike is rumored to be very interested in a shoe deal with Wiggins and reportedly will match any deal made by the other companies.
Adidas has signed shoe contracts with big name basketball players like Kobe Bryant and is in the race for Andrew Wiggins. Adidas also sponsors the University of Kansas athletics department which means Andrew will be wearing Adidas during games and practices. When he asked "how much Adidas stuff he has to wear" he was told that he could wear his Nike stuff outside of the games. However, Adidas is aggressively chasing Wiggins and is the company to reportedly currently be willing to offer $140-$180 million to seal the deal next summer.
Under Armour Andrew Wiggins Shoes?
I just love the brand Under Armour and to see a pair of Under Armour Andrew Wiggins shoes would be irresistable to me. They have only been making footwear since 2006 so signing a deal with Wiggins would be a major step for them to take a larger share of the market.
We'll keep any new details about Andrew Wiggins shoes posted right here.

Huawei MediaPad 7 Lite vs Nexus 7
by: Radu Tyrsina - Last updated on: December 16th, 2016
As we wait for the mini iPad rumor to become reality or not, more middle-sized tablets appear on the market. The most prominent of all was, without any doubt, the Nexus 7 tablet released by Google in partnership with Asus. Soon after that, Samsung updated its Galaxy Tab 2.0 with a Student Edition version for the 7 inch size, thus directly competing with Google's slate. Now, it seems that it is the turn of Huawei, as they've officially announced the MediaPad 7 Lite tablet.
The limit between tablets and smartphones is a very thin line, and the recent launch of the Galaxy Note 2 comes to prove that the already big display of the first Galaxy Note was not a hindrance to release an even bigger phablet. In the end, what we'll get will be a wide diversity of smatphone and tablet sizes, and for Android users, it might further worsen fragmentation issues.
Huawei MediaPad 7 vs Nexus 7: Battle of Specs
Hardware and aspect
Display and camera
Software and miscellaneous features
Right from the beginning, some users could simply opt for the Nexus 7 tablet, exactly because it is made by Google and Asus and because they trust the brand. Indeed, many users are very happy and content with the Nexus line of smartphones that Google has released so far. Chromebooks, another product launched by Google, also seem a worthy product, but towards a specialized niche. We are going to put the features and specifications at battle and you'll be the final judge.
You already know that these 2 tablets have the same size – 7 inch. The full name of Huawei's mid sized tablet is Huawei MediaPad 7 Lite which should tell something about its features. Thus, it only comes with a single-core 1.2GHz chip and 1GB of RAM. Nexus 7, on the other hand, has Nvidia Tegra 3 quad-core processor. But Huawei's MediaPad has something that Google's Nexus tablet lacks, and that seems to be quite important – 3G connectivity. MediaPad 7 Lite also has Wi-Fi in place, so you won't be relying only on the 3G broadband option.
Nexus has 198.5 x 120x 10.5 mm and weighs 340g while Huawei MediaPad 7 Lite has 193 x 120 x 11mm and weighs 370g. For an untrained eye, the overall shape of the two tablets is quite similar. Google and Asus have opted for a rubberised, textured coating for the back side whereas Huawei decided to encase the MediaPad 7 inside an aluminium unibody that has some small rubber grips at both ends of the tablet.
The basic on-board storage of both tablets is at 8GB but you can enhance it on the MediaPad 7 using the microSD card slot to as much as 32 GB. The 16 GB model for Nexus 7 is not yet available in the store, so, at the moment, the MediaPad seems to have a slight advantage here. MediaPad 7's battery is 4100mAh, which is a little under Nexus 7's 4325 one, so we should expect the Nexus 7 to have a longer battery lifespan but when you take into account that MediaPad has a weaker processor, the battery should fare better for MediaPad.
Albeit they have the same screen size, the Nexus 7 wins here with a better resolution: 1280 x 800 pixels opposed to 1024 x 600 pixels, this means a pixel density of 216 ppi opposed to 170 ppi. Nexus 7 has also proximity sensor and scratch-resistant glass, and we know how important it is to have glass that has at least some sort of protection. On the other hand, the Nexus 7 has only a 1.2 MP front facing camer while MediaPad 7 Lite has a rear 3.2MP one and a front 0.3MP one (useless to me).
Because it was released earlier, the Nexus 7 comes with the latest version of Android Jelly Bean. MediaPad Lite 7 also comes out of the box with Android 4.0. MediaPad Lite has its own Android "skinning" version, so once more reviews will come in, we will be able to say for sure whether their own customization of Android makes it faster or sloppier. Another interesting detail that gets overlooked by many when a tablet or smartphone is launched is the type of files that the device supports.
For example, I didn't even know that Nexus 7 doesn't play .avi files. The Nexus 7 supports .mp3 music formats and MPEG4, H.263, H.264 video formats. For an avid film fan, it is very important that my tablet supports all the movie types that I can get, even MKV ones. MediaPad Lite 7 is much more impressive on this chapter, as it supports the following file types:
Music: MP3, AAC, FLAC, WMA, WAV, OGG MP3
Video: MPEG4, H.263, H.264, WMV, AVI, 3GP, RealVideo, MOV, Flash Video, MKV
Interesting to know that the MediaPad Lite 7 also has a loud speaker, again, another feature that will be appreciated by music and movie lovers. It doesn't feature NFC like Nexus 7, so for those that look for contactless interaction, Huawei's Lite tablet will let you down. MediaPad also still supports flash while browsing while that is dead on the Nexus 7.
As in many cases, there's no real winner. Some might need to get that extra-power that the Nexus 7 has, while others (like me) are really looking forward to be able to see the movies that they want and not be troubled by incompatibilities between supported file formats. Also, if you think you can take pictures with a tablet's camera, then the MediaPad is a better choice. But, if the price for the MediaPad will be right, and by that I mean, lower than Nexus 7's (170-180$ would be an awesome price for it), then it might prove to be a mid-sized tablet to consider buying.

Weezerology Part Five: Beyond Belief
19 August 2015 / Bloggery / 1 Comment
When we last left our run through Weezer's song history, the 2002 album Maladroit – essentially a "best of" collection of the previous year's worth of recording and releasing new songs online – had failed to set the world on fire, despite a Muppets-themed video for one of its singles. Now read on to find out what happened over the next three years…
16. The Early Album 5 Demos
1. Mo' Beats. 2. Private Message. 3. Misstep. 4. Booby Trap. 5. Modern Dukes. 6. Untenable. 7. Fontana. 8. She Who Is Miltant. 9. Prodigy Lover. 10. Mansion of Cardboard. 11. Queen of Earth. 12. Hey Domingo. 13. The Organ Player. 14. Sacrifice. 15. Mad Kow. 16. Running Man. 17. 367. 18. The Victor. 19. Acapulco. 20. Lullaby.
Recorded March-July 2002 by Cuomo, Bell, Shriner, Wilson, Shmedly.
Okay, a bit of housekeeping up top: the twenty tracks above aren't every song recorded during this period; however, they're all the ones that were released in some form or another via Weezer's official website, discounting a couple of Brian Bell and Patrick Wilson tracks that ultimately ended up being reworked/re-recorded for their own side projects (and which, therefore, I'm not counting for the purposes of this series). I've arranged them into a tracklisting that I think makes a pretty solid (if quite long) album, but this is personal preference; as are my selections of which recording sessions to choose the tracks from, as some songs vary significantly across the sessions. If you want to see exactly which takes I chose so that you can construct the same album yourself, see the appendix at the end of this post.
So, while Maladroit was being prepared for its May 2002 release, the band were following a similar pattern to the one they'd done in the wake of recording The Green Album – that is, getting straight on with writing and recording new material before the record they'd just made had even hit shops. This time around, it was exacerbated by Maladroit's delayed release – to the extent that by the time that album made it out, there were already significant numbers of new songs out in the wild, courtesy of a sustained process of releasing new recordings at weezer.com.
But despite the short gap between sessions, the recordings for a planned fifth album moved in a significantly different direction – certainly, showing far more of a stylistic shift than had been apparent between the third and fourth. What resulted from those three stints in the studio in the spring and summer of 2002 was a set of tracks that – if pared down, worked on further and given a proper production and mastering – could have been comfortably the best album the band had released since Pinkerton.
Because make no mistake: in the summer of 2002, Rivers Cuomo was on fire. All of a sudden, he decided to experiment more liberally with the band's sound – I mean, we're not talking Radiohead here, but the introduction of pianos and keyboards, along with a much greater variation in tempo, meant that unlike in the pre-Maladroit days, you genuinely couldn't predict what the next song out of the traps would sound like.
That's not to say, however, that the Album 5 tracks don't sound pretty quintessentially Weezer at times. Take "Mo' Beats", for example – a natural choice for a leadoff track on this album-that-never-was, it's a crunchy, raucous track that feels like the next link in the "Hash Pipe"/"Dope Nose" chain. Prefiguring some of Rivers' later material, the lyrics also feature him directly commenting on his own songwriting, with an opening couplet – "I got more beats than y'all / Keep Fishin' still seems small" – that feels like a direct statement of intent.
There are a couple of other tracks that could have been pretty strong candidates for straight-down-the-line, typically catchy Weezer singles, too. "Modern Dukes" was a revamping of a Summer Songs 2000 track that had so many attempted revivals it's genuinely surprising that it never actually made it onto an album, and its terrifically catchy chorus is a great loss to the Weezer canon. "Private Message", meanwhile, was a newer song – released online very early in the Album 5 process (its first version came from the April, pre-Maladroit sessions), it was immediately popular with fans, and saw Rivers directly sharing personal experiences in a way that he'd rarely done since the band's comeback. Purportedly, he'd entered into a relationship with someone online (who may or may not have been a fan on the band's forums), and the lyrics reflect the difficulty of trying to woo someone over the internet, at a time when such a thing was a shade more unusual than it is nowadays.
There were several distinct versions of "Private Message" released from the 2002 sessions (and an acoustic version was later recorded during the 2003 demo run), but for my money the original April 2002 version (prior to the introduction of a piano line that was later dropped again) is the strongest, and with just a little polish could happily have been a pretty great single.1
Those seemingly-personal lyrics, however, actually set "Private Message" (and to an extent, "Mo' Beats") apart from much of the rest of the Album 5 output. For the most part, these new songs actually eschewed personal songwriting altogether – and in some cases, actually moved into outright storytelling. What was particularly unusual was hearing Rivers sing in the third person for the first time, something that happens on several tracks including "The Organ Player" and the excellent "Mansion of Cardboard". This latter track was a reworking (with completely different lyrics) of a never-released song from around 2001 called "So Low", and is a slight but striking character piece about a homeless vagrant.
"Mansion…" is also one of the strongest examples of the piano lines that were added to several songs during the late June/early July session days – played (for the most part, if not entirely) by a pianist named "Shmedly", it also appears on tracks like "367", "The Victor", "Fontana" and "The Running Man".
Aside from "Acapulco" – a reworking of the pre-Maladroit demo "Puerto Vallarta" that's different enough for me to justify breaking my normal "no track twice" rule and include it here – and the slightly reggae-tempo "Hey Domingo", perhaps the most unusual tracks in this batch are "Lullaby" and "Queen of Earth". The former – not to be confused with the very early demo "Lullaby for Wayne" – does exactly what it says on the tin, singing in the first person to a mother having a sleepless night with a baby. It's also one of the few examples in this era of a 3/4 time signature song.
"Queen of Earth", meanwhile, is something else entirely. Barely anything about it sounds like a Weezer song: it's in a minor key, is eerie and slow of tempo, has Rivers singing under a distant, echoey filter effect, and adds what I think are synthesized strings (but which would presumably have been replaced by actual strings on any album version). The lyrics are spare, but are enough to give the song a dark, foreboding sense.
It's hard to know exactly where "Queen of Earth" would have fit on an album, even in this more unusual period – but it would have been a pretty unmissable track had it made it on.
It doesn't take the title of true highlight of the Album 5 set, however. That honour goes to an updated Summer Songs 2000 track: "Mad Kow".
Back in 2000, "Mad Kow" (and no, I've still no idea why it spells it that way) had pretty much the same lyrics and basic melody, but opened with a typical-of-the-era crunchy guitar intro. The March '02 recording, however, replaces this with a gradually building, and slightly offbeat, drum lick that seems to alter the entire mood and tempo of the song. What was once a fairly straightforward chug takes on an epic, gradually-building quality. Coupled with one of Rivers' best vocal performances of the era (he's in full-on yearn mode), it's a fantastic listen, and for me comfortably outstrips later recordings that would shift it slightly back towards its Summer 2000 style.
There are certainly things that don't quite hit during the "EA5" era – but even when they fail, the songs are at least an attempt to branch out into something new, and despite some occasionally shonky lyrics they're never anything less than listenable. With some proper focus and tightening up, the band could quite easily have put out a strong 10-12 track album that may not have matched their 1990s output, but would have pushed them into an exciting new direction for the 2000s.
Sadly, it wasn't to be. Not a single one of the tracks discussed above would ever make it on to a Weezer album. Only "Private Message" and "Prodigy Lover", which were demoed again in 2003, and "Yellow Camaro" – a Brian song that eventually ended up on the first and only Space Twins album – even survived beyond the end of 2002. While Songs From The Black Hole is generally thought of as the great "lost" Weezer album, at least four of its songs did actually make it to Pinkerton – and the remaining surviving recordings have been officially released via the Alone rarity albums. But after their initial online releases, the 2002 demos seem to have been almost entirely shunned by the band – they're never played live, and they've never been included on any subsequent official releases. And that, to me, is a great shame.
17. 2003 Office Demos
1. I Was Scared. 2. I Can Love. 3. It's Easy. 4. The Story of My Life. 5. Everybody Wants a Chance to Feel All Alone. 6. The Rat Race.
Recorded September-November 2003 by Cuomo, Bell, Shriner, Wilson.
In July 2002, following the last of the "EA5" sessions, Weezer embarked on a two-month tour known as the Enlightenment Tour. When they returned, demo sessions for the fifth album began in earnest – but this time, they were very different. Arriving at S.I.R. studios in September 2002, the band spent the next eight months recording a large range of tracks – but unlike the first half of the year, this time they kept everything under lock and key. The volume of tracks released online didn't just decrease: it dried up entirely.
The reasons for this are unclear – perhaps the band were still unhappy with what had happened over Maladroit, although that hadn't stopped them releasing tracks from the earlier sessions in July. Whatever the reasoning, though, the S.I.R. sessions – although they contained some songs that would be carried forwards – have never been released in any form.
In June 2003, the band began to rent an office space in Los Angeles, and it was here that the next set of sessions began, running from September through to November. Labelled the "Acoustic Office Demos", presumably due to the fact that they were acoustic demos recorded in an office, these were initially similarly unavailable to fans: only "Everybody Wants a Chance to Feel All Alone" had made it out via a weezer.com link in 2003. Even then, the version that was released had actually been recorded earlier, during a November 2002 S.I.R.-based rehearsal: but due to the style of the recording, it's still considered an "office demo".
While tracks like "Yahoo", "Cold Glass of Water", "Emotions Let You Down" and "Kings of Money" (a reworking of EA5 demo "Prodigy Lover") have never seen the light of day, five more of the Office demos did eventually make it out into the wild, released variously on Rivers' Alone compilations, and as bonus tracks on The Red Album and Raditude. So what are they like?
Well, they're slight, really. Unsurprisingly, given their acoustic form, the Rivers tracks in particular have a mournful sound – "The Story of My Life" is stronger than "Everybody Wants…", but they're both fairly decent laments. "I Was Scared" (actually an electric demo recorded entirely by Rivers) and "I Can Love" are punchier, but also verge slightly on the whinier side; though the former is a quite personal lyric, referring to a childhood incident of Rivers' brother Leaves being bullied.
Wait, hang on… "the Rivers tracks"? Yep, that's probably the most distinguishing feature of these sessions: the fact that Brian Bell gets to write and sing two of the tracks that we've had released. It wasn't the first time Rivers had let one of the other band members take the lead – "Yellow Camaro" and some unreleased Pat-led tracks had made it into the Album 5 demos – but "Rat Race" and "It's Easy" are probably the closest that a non-Rivers vocal had made it to an album at that point. "It's Easy", in particular, is a pleasant, incredibly Brian-ish track that wouldn't sound out of place on one of his side project albums.
It's not hard to see, however, how these tracks didn't really fit with the direction Weezer would go in when they knuckled down to work on their fifth album proper in earnest; and they don't really represent much other than a mild diversion.
18. Make Believe
1. Beverly Hills. 2. Perfect Situation. 3. This Is Such A Pity. 4. Hold Me. 5. Peace. 6. We Are All On Drugs. 7. The Damage in Your Heart. 8. Pardon Me. 9. My Best Friend. 10. The Other Way. 11. Freak Me Out. 12. Haunt You Every Day.
Recorded December 2003-February 2005 by Cuomo, Bell, Shriner, Wilson. Produced by Rick Rubin. Released May 2005.
So, then, Make Believe. Weezer's second-best-selling album, shifting only around half the worldwide units of The Blue Album, but slightly more than The Green Album (and, as part of that trio, comfortably ahead of everything else by a couple of million). To a certain generation of music listeners, it's also probably the best-known of their records. So why do I get such a sinking feeling in my heart when it comes to discussing it?
Writing from 2015, it's certainly not their worst album – although in 2005, it was easily the weakest they'd yet released. But in so many ways, it feels like a conscious rejection of everything they'd done before, and of everything they were ever trying to do, even as late as the interesting and experimental 2002 demos. I don't know what changed in Rivers' mind that caused the shift in style, but if I were to hazard a guess, I would suggest that the incredible success of a certain Green Day album from a year previous might have been in the mix. Because there's no denying that Make Believe is a shameless grab at wider commercial success, right down to the hiring of Rick Rubin as producer. And it's one that actually, for a while, succeeded.
That it did this with "Beverly Hills" as a leadoff single is easily the worst thing about it. The first anyone heard of this song was a short snippet recorded on someone's mobile phone (in the days before smartphones, it was achieved by the clever fan recording the clip as their voicemail greeting) during the video shoot. As the first new Weezer material to make it out in a couple of years, both this and a subsequent "official" 30-second snippet were eagerly anticipated; but also less than eagerly received, with few of the existing hardcore impressed by its unimaginative, juddering riff, talk-box guitar solo and irritating "Gimme gimme!" backing vocals. Of course, that was before any of us had even seen the video.
Performing at the Playboy mansion, surrounded by Hugh Hefner and a bevvy of scantily-clad girls, while singing about how great it would be to live in Beverly Hills "rollin' like a ce-le-bri-ty"? What fresh hell was this? What had happened to our lovable group of awkward nerds? Was this meant to be ironic? It certainly didn't feel like it: it felt cynical and nasty. Hadn't Weezer always been the champions of outsider, underdog spirit? Why was Rivers, in the voice of this stargazing-wannabe character, suddenly telling us that "It's something that you're born into, and I just don't belong"?
Terrifyingly, though, "Beverly Hills" was a hit. Rivers' regression into sneery adolescence, abandoning all pretence that he was interested in writing thoughtful and engaging songs, was also the band's most successful song since "Buddy Holly" – arguably even outstripping it in terms of popularity, and cracking the charts in both the U.K. and U.S. This was the new Weezer – a group of mid-thirties blokes getting down with "the kids" and singing about how unfair everything is, mom – and they had a new audience that loved them for it.
And then the second single, "We Are All On Drugs", was basically The Diarrhoea Song.
Seriously. I have nothing else to say about it.
It's wretched.
With this double dose of hack, unimaginative and downright unpleasant material loaded up top, it's fair to say that for many long-time listeners, Make Believe was on a hiding to nothing from the start. But what makes the album frustrating is that while much of it seems to see Rivers in as can't-be-arsed a mode as possible, there are flashes of something better. Nowhere is this more evident than in the record's third single, "Perfect Situation". It might sound to some like a fairly straightforward retread of The Green Album's "Simple Pages", but that's not necessarily a bad thing. It's at least got some actual heart and emotion behind it, and some imagination in the melody (although a later retooling for the single release, which chopped the intro short, altered the chorus melody and added in some annoying Brian-and-Scott backing vocals to the end because Geffen felt the song's title wasn't mentioned enough, weakens rather than strengthens it).
(Also, while the video's cheesy as all hell, it's got a guest appearance by longtime roadie/webmaster/"fifth Weezer" Karl Koch as the merch guy, so it's worth it for that alone.)
When the album dares to go a little bit more unusual – showing perhaps the last lingering influence of the EA5 era – is when it's at its best. "The Damage in Your Heart" is pretty straightforward lyrically but has an offbeat, slightly darker melody; while "Freak Me Out" opens with a guitar sound that feels like it comes straight from the Rubin playbook, but turns out to be a bizarre yet engaging song about being scared of a spider (seriously, it's literally about being afraid of a spider). And "This is Such a Pity" is a pretty terrific slice of – unusually – synth-pop that really deserved to be a single far more than "Beverly Hills" or "Drugs" did.2
Beyond those highlights, though, there's too much that simply struggles to rise above mediocre. "The Other Way" is potentially fascinating – the only truly personal track on the album, it shows Rivers working out his conflicted feelings about wanting to comfort his ex-girlfriend Jennifer Chiba following the death of Elliott Smith – but otherwise simply turgid; "Pardon Me" and "Hold Me" are almost completely forgettable; while "My Best Friend", later offered to but not used on Shrek 2 soundtrack, contains one of Rivers' worst ever vocal performances. "Peace" has a nice main riff but little else.
That just leaves "Haunt You Every Day", a reasonably popular track among many fans as a powerful, emotional album closer. Personally, it doesn't really do it for me, but with its piano-led melody, it's the track on the album that sounds the most like it could have come straight from EA5. It's just that if it had done, it still would have been one of the more middling efforts from that group.
For all that I don't like about Make Believe, it's still arguably a more solid base for Weezer to build off from than the previous two albums had been. The lengthy writing and production process, compared with the rate of knots at which they'd been working before and after Maladroit, helps with it feeling somewhat like a new "year zero" for the band, even moreso than The Green Album. There are enough hints of imagination dotted here and there to suggest that with their follow-up, the band could continue to experiment, and launch themselves to even greater success.
Well, they at least managed to do one of those two. But we'll talk about which one next time.
19. The Fallen Soldiers
1. I Don't Want Your Loving. 2. Blowin' My Stack. 3. Losing My Mind. 4. Turn Me Round. 5. I'm A Robot. 6. Outta Here. 7. Save Me / I Was Made For You.
Recorded November 2003 by Cuomo, Bell, Shriner, Wilson.
Finally, while there weren't any B-sides released for Make Believe (once again, the two singles that actually made it to retail were simply backed by live tracks and remixes), there are a few relevant tracks that are worth discussing in connection to it. The so-called "Fallen Soldiers" had been discussed in fan circles around and after the album's release, as Karl Koch had described them as the songs that had made it closest to inclusion on the record before ultimately being dropped; and they were known to exist in demo form that was reasonably close to final produced quality.
Six of them finally saw release on the Death to False Metal compilation in 2010, and they serve as a pretty apt microcosm of their parent album. Which is to say that they're a mixture of reasonably interesting experimentation and irritating, lazy drudgery. "I Don't Want Your Loving" is mildly catchy, if somewhat derivative, but has lyrics that are blunt and dull even by Make Believe's standards; while "Blowin' My Stack" doesn't even have catchiness going for it.
But "Losing My Mind" is a genuinely great track; perhaps a bit too similar in tone to "Freak Me Out" to have fit comfortably on Make Believe, but it could have happily have gone on there in place of it, and would have been one of the record's best cuts if it had done. Crucially, it's another of the few songs from this era on which Rivers actually sounds like he cares. It's very similar thematically to the later "Can't Stop Partying" – but let's not get ahead of ourselves, because we'll have plenty to say about that song when we reach the appropriate.
By contrast, "I'm A Robot" is genuinely appalling, for similar reasons to "Beverly Hills". Put simply, there's no justification whatsoever for a rich, successful rock star to write a song from the perspective of someone stuck in an everyday office job complaining about how terrible, boring and awful it is. It's an unpleasant strand to his songwriting that would pop up a couple of times again in the coming years.
There's one more track I've listed above, even though strictly speaking it shouldn't count as a "Fallen Soldier". "Save Me" is listed among the recording sessions of that era, although we've never heard a version of it. It's heavily speculated, however, that it was a reworking of an earlier Rivers demo called "I Was Made For You".
Recorded in Spring of 2004 and eventually released on 2007's first Alone compilation, "I Was Made For You" is an astonishing track – a gorgeous, mournful-yet-uplifting love song that's genuinely one of the best of the post-Pinkerton era, in this writer's book. Despite being "only" a demo, it's more listenable and instantly classic than almost all of the more slickly-produced efforts on Make Believe, and was far more worthy of becoming an actual Weezer album track.
Unfortunately, as we'll learn next time, keeping their best songs off the album proper was starting to become a recurring habit.
Weezerology continues with Part Six, Seeing Red.
1Brian Bell, who gets some great backup vocal lines on that April version, was also something of a fan of the song; after it was ultimately dropped by Rivers, he sought permission to rework it into a song called "Hand to Hold" for his side-project The Relationship.
2It actually was the fourth single off the album, but only in terms of being sent out to radio stations – it didn't even get a video.

26th November 2015 at 3.56 pm
I agree that the early Album 5 demos was a great lost album.
If Blue was a triumphant anthem of youthful awkwardness and Pinkerton was a ball of raw angst of an angry young man, then the early Album 5 demos was a dude in his thirties jamming to a groove with his band.
Below is how I listen to the demos:
1. Misstep
2. Little Songs
3. She Who Is Militant
4. Private Message
5. Hey Domingo
6. Fontana
7. Acapulco
8. Booby Trap
10. Mansions of Cardboard

08/03/2017 - Baseball Factory Pro Select Training & Tournament at Historic Dodgertown (Ages 14-18) Jalen continues to show steady progress in his baseball abilities. Foot speed has improved as he ran his best 60 time to date. At 1B, he shows smooth clean actions. He displays proper footwork around the bag and is a quality receiver. Glove action is clean but needs to present more out front. Range will increase as he continues to improve foot quickness. At the plate, he shows a squared setup. Hands are quick and work through a compact swing path. He has strength in his swing and shows a feel for the barrel with power showing best to the pull side. Power will continue to increase as he utilizes his lower half more efficiently. At the event, he was 4 for 9. On the mound, arm strength has improved as he threw his top velocity to date at 69 mph. Fastball showed a range of 67-69 mph. Breaking ball displays 1/7 shape with early break. Stock on the mound will continue to rise as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program.
05/21/2017 - College PREP - New Orleans, LA Jalen is a strong LHP/1B prospect. At 1B, Jalen has active pre-pitch movement and gets his feet in the proper position when turning DP's. He tracks GB's into his mitt and gathers well. At the plate, this LHH displays a balanced stance and makes hard contact to his pull-side. If he continues to work to swing on a shorter/more direct path, it will increase his bat whip resulting in increased pop. On the bump, Jalen has good rhythm in his delivery and tries to make adjustments pitch to pitch. He says directional toward the dish and repeats well. If he continues to pitch downhill and follow through in his delivery, he'll be able to pound the lower half of the zone. Driving his backside toward the plate and landing on a strong front leg will allow him to increase velocity as well. Only a 2020 grad, Walker has a solid skill-set with upside on the diamond.

Magic Medicine: A Trip Through the Intoxicating History and Modern-Day Use of Psychedelic Plants and Substances is a beguiling jewelry box of a book by Cody Johnson, the Boston-based blogger behind Psychedelic Frontier. Johnson's blog is a pillar of the psychedelic journalistic community: a vibrant resource containing essays, up-to-date interviews and discussions related to happenings in psychedelic scientific research, music, and art.
In Magic Medicine, Johnson makes a considered effort to widen the accessibility of his subject matter beyond the psychonautical audience—written to pique the interest of anyone "from complete neophytes to veteran trippers, seekers and sages to skeptics and scientists." The book is an illustrated encyclopedia detailing the effects, history and cultural import of a range of substances including the classical psychoactives like LSD, MDMA, ketamine and ayahuasca. These mainstays in the current discourse on psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy are discussed alongside some of the more eclectic fruits of the psychedelic family tree, such as mad honey, bufotenine-containing vilca beans and 5-Bromo-DMT containing sea sponges.
Each of the 23(!) entries provides a very comprehensive introduction to each substance, detailing its date of discovery, duration of effects, active compounds, and trends in cultural usage. All along with a "storied history" of its journey towards its current status within the contemporary cosmos of psychedelic science and drug policy reform. These are accompanied by gracefully delineated vegetal and molecular illustrations by Holly Neel, resulting in an aesthetic which feels like a sleekly updated, psychedelic take on a Victorian botanical almanac.
Johnson's juxtaposition of concisely delivered background information with surprising trends in substance usage makes for a consistently illuminating read. For example, in the entry on 2-CB, which was discovered by Alexander Shulgin in 1974, he provides a glimpse into the molecule's brief cameo as the "medicine of the singing ancestors." Better known as a potential therapeutic agent, dancefloor drug and "lucid aphrodisiac," it may come as a surprise to learn that 2-CB underwent a brief period of being hailed by Xhosa healers in South Africa as a less toxic means of inducing visionary states than their locally available entheogenic plant brews. Subsections with stories such as these elevate each entry out of "neophyte" territory and bolster the potential of Magic Medicine to expand an experienced reader's existing knowledge base.
The 2-CB-tripping Xhosa unite with many other groups and individuals within the pages of Magic Medicine, whose practices of use, research and trip reports adorn each compound with sociocultural narrative layers. Pivotal characters include James, Davy, Shulgin, Hofmann, Leary, hosts of ethnobotanists and anthropologists, and trailblazers from psychedelic literature and counterculture, such as Ginsberg, Huxley, Kerouac and the Grateful Dead.
Johnson's inclusion of vivid trip-reports from this wide variety of different cultures and sources effectively conveys the depth and breadth of the ways that communities and individuals can be tantalizingly weirded out – but, more importantly, touched, healed and transformed – by psychedelic experiences. The diverse array of contributions to research and culture which coalesce in Magic Medicine gives an indication of the scope of the interconnectivity that exists between the discovery, exploration and artistic representation of psychoactive substances.
Johnson's organization of material according to an effects-based, rather than legal, classification system is one of the triumphs of Magic Medicine. The deleterious impact that banning psychoactive substances has had historically on efforts to unlock and utilize their therapeutic potential is a core theme of the text. Correspondingly, the four classifications Johnson uses foreground some of the properties of his chosen pharmacopeia that most command respect, utterly separating their essence from making sense in a criminal context.
Among the qualities foregrounded, many of the substances that Johnson terms 'Classic' are steeped in thousands of years' worth of traditions of use. The compounds classified as 'Empathogenic' and 'Dissociative' are presented as uniquely important aids to psychotherapy and to our increased understanding of the human mind. And, the final section, on 'Unique' psychoactives, evokes the sheer wondrousness of the natural world, elucidating the need to conserve and respect it at the book's close.
As the sole substances classified as 'Empathogenic,' MDMA, "the crown jewel of the empathogens" is paired with its currently less famous precursor MDA. Johnson shines a well-deserved spotlight on MDA with an entry which is every bit as detailed as that of MDMA, featuring a range of trip reports collated during early scientific exploration of the "original love drug." These celebrate MDA's ability to help users perform "apparent acts of mind-reading," and its potential to facilitate mystical experiences. Indeed, the entries on the lesser known drugs are the book's best: the discussion of the perplexing, Shulgin-synthesised drug DiPT, which provides eight to 12 hours of primarily auditory hallucinations, is a particular highlight.
A hardcover tome glowing in greens and gold, Magic Medicine is an aesthetically beautiful work that would be an apt addition to any psychedelic book collection. However, its pages contain none of the stuffiness of a collector's item. Johnson handles the many esoteric elements of his subject matter with concision and simplicity, resulting in a transportative and informative reading experience that will help a wide variety of people to foster a love of learning about psychedelics.

Arrowheadlines: Melvin Ingram is 'playing angry'

'He plays angry.' How Melvin Ingram has helped turn around Kansas City Chiefs' defense | Kansas City Star
"He's playing angry," Spagnuolo said. "I say that to him all the time — you play angry. I love it You've got everybody else getting angry too."
The Chiefs traded a sixth-round pick to Pittsburgh last month in hopes Ingram would infuse physicality to a struggling pass rush. A swap between two teams in the playoff picture doesn't typically lead to immediate impact, but Ingram's provided exactly that, even if it's not come in his defining statistic — he's been credited with only half a sack in his four games in Kansas City.
Asked what he has brought to the Chiefs, Ingram responded, "Just being me." But later told of how Spagnuolo described it — the anger, specifically — Ingram replied nonchalantly, "It's an angry game. It's a physical game. It's a legal way to be violent."

Kansas City Chiefs 27-17 Las Vegas Raiders
I may add a field goal to the Raiders' total if Darren Waller suits up; he is that important to their offense. Without the mismatch tight end, there's little reason to believe Las Vegas' attack will have enough juice to score on this improved Kansas City defense. Jon Gruden built a team designed to run, but the Raiders can't pull it off. The one great Chiefs offensive performance since Week 7 came against this Raiders team, and I'm simple-minded enough to think it can happen again.

The Kansas City Chiefs said ahead of its eighth regular-season game on Dec. 12 at Arrowhead Stadium against the Las Vegas Raiders, fans will no longer be required to wear face masks in indoor spaces.
With the expiration of the Kansas City mask ordinance, the Chiefs said masks are no longer required in the stadium, however, per the Kansas City Health Department recommendations they are still encouraged.
Chiefs eagerly await the day Kelce, Hill get back on track | Yahoo News
When it comes to Kelce, defenses are using multiple defensive backs to simply wear him out. They jam him hard at the line of scrimmage to throw off some of the timing routes that the Chiefs like to run, and they continue to play him physically all the way through each play. Eventually, it becomes as mentally frustrating as it is physically demanding.
Three times this season, Kelce has been held to 27 yards or fewer — three of the 13 lowest totals in 122 straight games that he's had a catch. And the three catches he had against Denver last week were more than just eight other career games.
Then with Hill, defenses have adopted a two-high safety look that the Buccaneers embraced to such success in shutting down Kansas City in the Super Bowl. They are willing to give up short gains underneath the coverage, and make the Chiefs work 10- and 12-play drives, rather than allowing Hill to beat them deep for easy touchdowns.
Name of Kansas City Chiefs player lands on list of most mispronounced words in 2021 | Kansas City Star

Kelce made the list, and Babbel Magazine provided proper pronunciation for all the words.
Unfortunately, the magazine also incorrectly noted Kelce's brother, Jason (who is the center for the Philadelphia Eagles) first revealed the family name was being said wrong.
Babbel Magazine said Kelce should be pronounced KEL-ss, and wrote "Kelce revealed on the radio this year that his teammates and the media had been mispronouncing his name for years."

Jahan Dotson WR
Kansas City is just adding confusion to defenses with the addition of Dotson. Tyreek Hill and Dotson give the Chiefs the option to run one short and the other deep on any given play. The speed of those two players on the field at once will stretch the defense to its limits.
Former Denver Broncos receiver Demaryius Thomas dies at age 33 | NFL.com
Thomas was found deceased in his home on Thursday night, the Roswell (Georgia) Police Department confirmed in a statement to NFL Media. Preliminary information is that Thomas' death stems from a medical issue, and Roswell PD investigators currently have no reason to believe otherwise.
Thomas was a standout with the Broncos over a 10-year NFL career that finished with brief stints with the Houston Texans and New York Jets. He announced his retirement in June.
"It was a tough decision, a real tough decision," Thomas said at the time. "Always as a kid or always when I did something, it was always [giving] my best to go and go and go. And football was my go. Every year I tried to get better and better, and I knew I was aging, of course. It was something tough, but I'm grateful I did 10, 11 years. I'm so grateful for that and now I can move on. I'm happy, I'm healthy. And now I can try to find my next itch."

Just 11 days after Cook dislocated his shoulder, keeping him out of last week's loss at previously winless Detroit, he lined up in the backfield and enjoyed the most running room he's seen all season. Cook set a franchise record with 153 rushing yards in the first half, and he needed only 14 carries to do it.
"Once I told 'em I'm good, I'm good,'' Cook said.
An early look at 2022 NFL trade candidates: Kirk Cousins, Russell Wilson among 10 big names who could be dealt | CBS Sports
Marcus Peters
The Ravens are down so many bodies in their secondary that they'd pay to have Peters back for their hopeful playoff run. But the veteran is due $15.5M in 2022, the last year on his current deal, and Baltimore has other contracts to address. Potential suitors would have to consider that he's coming off a torn ACL and fast approaching his age-30 season, but he can still serve as a No. 1 for a contender. The Ravens would save $10M by shipping him elsewhere.

Eric Bieniemy becomes the latest to talk Chiefs' drops
While he would never make his point directly, the former running back part of Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy shined through when he spoke to the media during his weekly Thursday press conference. It was apparent that he wasn't blaming the quarterback.
"You go back to what we just said — the fundamentals of it," said Bieniemy. "You get guys on the JUGS machines before practice and after practice, and then you just let them know, 'Hey, it's not like we're going to stop throwing you the football.' Things happen in this league and unfortunately, it seems like we're going through a whirlwind of things that have taken place, but the thing that I appreciate about our guys is that they have found a way to overcome the adversity and stick through it together."

Waste of Life - Help Me…Kill Myself… (2010) [Colorless Recorders]
From a forgotten wretched abyss we have a 'Waste of Life', a Suicidal Black Metal band whose influences range from Nocturnal Depression and Xasthur to (old)Burzum. I was really impressed with this album, so without further ado let me break down this release song by song and get into the juicy stuff (or abysmal darkness, whichever you prefer).
This is a full length release featuring 10 tracks. The intro track starts with a melancholy guitar melody and some static haze in the mix. I was kind of surprised when the vocals started in an "in your face" style with misanthropic overtones, telling the listener that they're a "piece of shit" and that they should kill themselves. Kind of creepy to hear 'I have a razor in my hand, want me to use it?' I am sure during that phrase he was cutting himself to harness the energy that is this intro. The end of the intro ends with 'Do it fucking do it! Pull the God Damn trigger' and ends with some Silencer type of screams. The atmosphere and energy is really over whelming.
The following track (2) 'Tears Fill My Dying Eyes' opens with guitar feedback and another Silencer type scream (there are many throughout the album). This song has a really good, steady drum groove going throughout, even the drums are fake they sound like the real thing with the human quality going for them. The vocals are like a Nocturnal Depression type of rasp and with some Silencer type screams here are there. I also would like to point out that there are more then 3 guitar chords which is a plus to many DSBM (depressive/suicidal black metal for those who are unfamiliar) bands only use that 3 chord "punk style" these days, which is sad.
The 3rd track, 'Help Me (Kill) Myself', has to be my favorite off of this album. It has this depressive clean guitar rhythm going through out the whole track with chorus textures, which help make an ambient type of sound with this song. The drums are kind of a slow, ballad rock type of rhythm with a distorted guitar tone played in the higher keys and strings which reminds me a lot of some of King Crimsons ambient works (that earns big points in my book). On top of all that there are mournful screams of pain and dying to enhance the power of this track.
The 4th track, 'The Lowering of My Casket', starts off with a clean guitar melody that sounds like it belongs in a Nocturnal Depression song, and there are some parts of the clean guitar melody that don't sound in time but that could just be me. The vocals are really good really mostly that raspy black metal type through out the whole track which I personally love. The drums are really slow with some fast fills, and there are a couple of fast parts involving blast beats. The overall music and arrangement for this song really lives up to its title.
The 5th track, 'Serenity', has such a great intro this song is almost like 'Help Me (Kill) Myself' track with its ambiance and ambient style King Crimson guitar style. The guitars and vocals come in with blast beating drums which kind of sounds like a depressive Darkthrone. I think there was enough room for some keyboard ambiance here, which is what the fast part seems to be missing. The song then goes into a slow guitar melody with a drum tom groove, then back into a somewhat ambient style black metal song. I am not sure how I feel about the palm muting, though the tremolo picking is spot on. The remaining seconds bring back that hopeless feeling that the intro brings in and ends.
The 6th song, 'A Soul Vanishes Final', is an 11 minute and 54 second suicidal anthem. The guitar melody for the into part of these song seem to be the same in 'The Lowering of My Casket' track. There is strong Nocturnal Depression influence in this track and Silencer influence when it comes to some of the vocals, one being a sad clean guitar melody with screaming over all of it. There is some doom metal influence when it comes to some of the drum grooves but still retains that DSBM style. This is also the first track I have heard use some faster double bass parts, which was good to hear thrown in. The track also features that King Crimson ambient guitar style which I just love, and there is some normal speech, like in the intro track, towards the end with some in and out Silencer screams.
The 7th song, 'A Lost Soul in a Cold Chamber', which is an acoustic guitar instrumental, has some big time Dissection melody influences here. From what I hear it sounds diminished (a specific melodic scale) and also some melodic keys thrown in as well. This is a good, mournful track that acts as a overture for the remaining 3 songs left.
The 8th song is a cover of Nocturnal Depressions's 'Nostalgia'. The track starts off with a choir and has what sounds like a harpsichord playing with the choir; the intro of the song is really great. Then the clean guitars kick in with some ride cymbal hitting and distorted guitar swelling. This is the first time I have heard a cover of a Nocturnal Depression song and I must say it is good. There are some parts that have been done in their own stylish way, which I like. The outro of the song is amazing; I love the piano over the screaming vocals.
The 9th song 'One Final Look at the World' has that ambient style that is in the previous songs. There is a lot of ambiance in this track, which I like a good portion of, that the other songs seem to be missing. This song kind of reminds me of Exiled From Light in the way some parts add up. At points when there are vocals there is static and a little feedback that comes out of the left and right speakers due to some of those being clipped (too loud in the mix). Other then that, is was another one of my favorite tracks.
And we come to the 10th and final track, 'The Ending of my Misery'. It is a dark neo-classical ambient track with a thunder storm and very sad string progressions. It is the prefect outro for this suicidal anthem of an album as it ends with the dying down of the strings and only the thunderstorm remaining as the last few seconds ends with the pumping of a shot gun and then a loud blast.
This is a really great album: it has great atmosphere, emotion, anger, it's misanthropic, and it has great musicianship. I recommend getting a copy! If you like: Nocturnal Depression, Xasthur, Exiled From Light, Beatrik, Burzum, and so forth then you will love this CHECK IT OUT!

Pfizer and GSK should not get huge subsidy for pneumonia vaccine

Pharma giants shouldn't receive multi-million dollar pneumonia vaccine subsidy
Press Release3 December 2019
MSF is urging Gavi to stop paying pharma giants Pfizer and GSK subsidies for their pneumonia vaccines.
The vaccines protect against pneumonia, which kills nearly 1 million children each year.
The pharma giants earn billions off their vaccines and have been receiving subsidies as an 'incentive' to introduce them in developing countries.
The vaccines nevertheless remain too expensive for many countries to introduce, thanks to high prices – leaving young lives unprotected against the disease.
MSF urges Gavi to instead support the introduction of a more affordable pneumonia vaccine, coming to market soon.
New Delhi — Ahead of this week's board meeting of Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, in New Delhi, India, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) called on board members to immediately stop paying out funds from a remaining US$262 million subsidy to the pharmaceutical corporations Pfizer and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) for the pneumococcal vaccine. MSF called for the remaining funds to instead be used to support the uptake of a more affordable pneumococcal vaccine expected to come to market shortly.
"Pfizer and GSK have reaped more than their fair share of donor money for the pneumococcal vaccine, on top of the combined nearly $50 billion in sales on the vaccine they have made over the last 10 years, so it's time for Gavi to stop this big pharma payout," said Kate Elder, Senior Vaccines Policy Advisor, MSF Access Campaign. "Instead of lobbing more money at Pfizer and GSK, Gavi should start supporting countries to prepare for the alternative supplier that promises lower pneumococcal vaccine prices for all countries."
Gavi uses donor funds to pay for vaccines in the poorest countries. Recognising that newer vaccines often take more than a decade to reach developing countries after their introduction in high-income countries, in 2007 Gavi and six donorsItaly, the United Kingdom, Canada, the Russian Federation, Norway, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. set up a special fund called the Advance Market Commitment (AMC) to speed up the global rollout of the lifesaving pneumococcal vaccine in the poorest countries.
Instead of lobbing more money at Pfizer and GSK, Gavi should start supporting countries to prepare for the alternative supplier that promises lower pneumococcal vaccine prices for all countries. Kate Elder, Senior Vaccines Policy Advisor, MSF Access Campaign
This special fund, the AMC, also aimed to incentivise vaccine manufacturers to produce suitable and affordable versions of the pneumococcal vaccine. The donors pledged $1.5 billion in a special subsidy fund that is used to top up the base price of the pneumococcal vaccine charged by each company.
Pfizer and GSK charge Gavi roughly $9 for each child to be vaccinated in the poorest countries, and then receive a top up from the subsidy that amounts to each company being paid $21 per child in total. In middle-income countries that don't qualify for Gavi support, Pfizer and GSK have charged as much as $80 per child (through UNICEF Supply Division) to be vaccinated, with the result that many of these countries have not started using the vaccine at all.
So far, $1.2 billion has already been earned by Pfizer and GSK through the AMC, with $262 million remaining in the special fund. As the AMC fund was supposed to encourage new producers to enter the market and help bring prices down, MSF is calling on Gavi to reserve its remaining funds under the AMC for a new pneumococcal vaccine manufacturer offering a more affordable version in the near future.
It's unconscionable that almost 20 years after the pneumococcal vaccine first became available, over 55 million children in the world still aren't receiving it. Miriam Alia, MSF Vaccination & Outbreak Response Referent
The first alternative pneumococcal vaccine from an Indian manufacturer is expected to be available in the next few months and promises to be significantly less expensive than Pfizer and GSK's products. The company has stated previously that they plan to sell the vaccine at about $6 per child to Gavi and the poorest countries, and for no more than about $11 in middle-income countries.
Having an affordable version from the new manufacturer will offer a better chance of self-financing the pneumococcal vaccine for countries that have not yet introduced it in their programmes and for those that will lose Gavi support in the future. Switching to a more affordable version could also potentially result in savings of up to $1 billion for Gavi in the coming financial period.
Donors supporting the AMC fund must take urgent steps to halt further subsidies to Pfizer and GSK for a vaccine that they have already been generously rewarded for. Kate Elder, Senior Vaccines Policy Advisor, MSF Access Campaign
"We hope that with the end of the Pfizer/GSK duopoly fast approaching, many more countries that have not been able to protect their children against pneumonia because of the high-priced vaccine will now be able to do so," said Miriam Alia, Vaccination & Outbreak Response Referent, MSF. "It's unconscionable that almost 20 years after the pneumococcal vaccine first became available, over 55 million children in the world still aren't receiving it."
About one quarter of the world's countries have not been able to introduce the vaccine to protect their children against pneumonia largely because of the high price charged by Pfizer and GSK. Pneumonia causes more than a quarter of all deaths in children under the age of five globally – nearly one million young lives lost every year. With the entry of a more affordable product, these countries should be able to start using the vaccine routinely in their vaccination programmes.
"Donors supporting the AMC fund must take urgent steps to halt further subsidies to Pfizer and GSK for a vaccine that they have already been generously rewarded for," said Elder. "It's time now to break the existing Pfizer/GSK duopoly and hold any further public money for a truly new and more affordable vaccine."
