Almost a month after the sudden closure of the popular historic Dartmoor pub Ring of Bells, it has been announced that it will be reopening again next year under new ownership. Located in North Bovey and in the heart of Dartmoor National Park, its last day of trading was on November 1.
No reason was given for its closure by the owners other than to say it had 'ceased trading' and to thank its staff and customers. It added another interesting chapter to its turbulent history which dates back to the 13th century.
It suffered a terrible fire in January 2016 and was left a charred shell after flames ripped through the thatch and historic timbers. It was closed for nearly two years while it was rebuilt at a cost of £1.5million and was able to open its doors on December 10, 2017, with all its original charm.

The inn was then listed for sale earlier this year with a price tag of £1.2million. It has been deemed as the "hub of village life" for many years. Today, November 28, it has been announced that a new lease of life is being brought back into the pub by Devon-based Eversfield Organic.
The family-run business, which already has three successful restaurants and farm shops across the south west, including the award-winning Dartmoor Inn at Merrivale, will reopen Ring of Bells in January. It will serve 100 per cent locally farmed, organic food.

Mark Bury, director and founder of Eversfield Organic, said: "The Ring of Bells is an extremely exciting opportunity for us to support the local community, further our organic, closed-loop sustainability ethos and most importantly provide an amazing dining experience. We cannot wait to open."
Eversfield Organic is renowned for its grass-fed beef. The new menu at Ring of Bells will centre around an ox grill, 'bringing back the theatre of a night out', searing steaks above the fire in a unique and immersive dining experience. The menu will also feature a catch of the day, burgers and a vegetarian special, as well as separate breakfast and lunch menus.
All compostable waste from the restaurant will be used as organic fertiliser for Eversfield farm's market garden which will grow produce for the restaurant.

Combat Mission: Afrika Korps
Need help to keep my resolution between games
By Aloid
August 22, 2000 in Combat Mission - Tech Support

Thanks to the MANY posts about changing resolution, I fired up the game at 1600 x 1200, with no problem. The config file was recreated by the game, so the game looks great.
I don't want to keep my regular windows resolution set that high, but when I change it back to 800 x 600, the game tries to reset itself to 800 x 600 as well.
Is there a way to get CM to remember the old resolution and use it? (This is a pain)
Schrullenhaft
Not that I'm aware of. This is something that Charles would have to recode and it probably isn't something that would easily be patched. I'm guessing CMBO will have to keep on addressing the resolution as it currently does. It's possible that this may be changed for CM2.
Thanks, I was affraid of that. We must make small sacrifices sometimes. No biggie.
KMan
IIRC, about a month ago, someone posted on one of the forums about a utility which would switch the desktop resolution, launch an application, then switch the resolution back. This could be used to run CM at a higher resolution than your desktop. You might try a search on the four CM forums (can't remember which it was in). I would do the search but am too lazy right now apparently.
Good luck. Wish I could run at 1600x1200!

Edit: OK, I guess I lied about being to lazy. Check out this thread:

Here's the URL for QuickRes,which lets you change to higher resolution when a game runs and then changes it back when you exit the game.

Ah, finally!
Hey thanks guys, this is a real winner!
My resolution is changing automatically, back & forth from my regular desk top res (800 x 600) to the game res (1600 x 1200).
Hands free!

The Boy with the Cuckoo-Clock Heart by Matthias Malzieu
What if falling in love cost you your life? Would you be able to resist?
The story opens in Edinburgh, in the late 1800s, during the greatest freeze the city has known. In this introduction, the cold and snow almost become a character on their own. You meet the protagonist, Jack, as a frail infant abandoned by his mother to the idiosyncratic and brilliant Dr. Madeleine.
To save his life, Madeleine grafts a cuckoo clock to his heart, but this alteration requires rules that cannot be broken:
"FIRSTLY: DON'T TOUCH THE HANDS OF YOUR CUCKOO-CLOCK HEART. SECONDLY: MASTER YOUR ANGER. THIRDLY: NEVER EVER FALL IN LOVE. FOR IF YOU DO, THE HOUR HAND WILL POKE THROUGH YOUR SKIN, YOUR BONES WILL SHATTER, AND YOUR HEART WILL BREAK ONCE MORE."
Jack is tortured by the continual presence of his clock heart, which ticks and whirrs and cuckoos at the least convenient moment. He is bullied and mocked at school and it embarrasses him in public.
The cast of characters that surrounds Jack as he grows is colorful and eclectic, a peg-leg prostitute and a Scotsman with a musical spine, all overseen by the protective and loving Dr. Madeleine, who has adopted her boy with the cuckoo clock heart.
The heart of the story is Jack's doomed love for the coquettish, mercurial and short-sighted Miss Acacia, a street singer turned cabaret performer. For Jack, the perils of love are very real and shape all of his choices throughout the book. It's not only love he has to control, but jealousy and anger ground through the gears of love, as his rival Big Joe vies for the hand of Miss Acacia.
Jack later teams up with the famous film pioneer and illusionist Géorges Melies, who becomes enamored of his condition and its ramifications. The theme of illusions figures strongly, for nothing is quite as it seems in this little fable.
Malzieu seamlessly integrates the elements of steampunk with literary fiction, allowing this novella to transcend the usually cursed designation of "genre fiction". It should, for this is really literary steampunk and you need neither to be really very literary or steampunk to enjoy it.
Melzieu's prose has a dreamy, cinematic elegance, distinctly European. The pacing ticks along steadily – it is a quick read at 172 pages – and the action winds tighter and tighter until you cannot wait any longer for the denouement. The vivid characters stay with you long after you close this slim volume. There is a twist at the end, which cuts sharp as the second hand of a clock.
The Boy with the Cuckoo-Clock Heart has already been lauded as an adult fairytale, but it seems even more than that. The story concerns the lies we tell ourselves and others in our pursuit of love and our fear of love's loss. It's a magical journey that ends too soon, but makes the re-reading all too pleasurable.
Mathias Melzieu is also known as the lead singer of the French band, Dionysos. I have included the peculiarly wonderful book trailer, set to the music of Dionysos. The book is currently in production to become a full-length animated film, La Mécanique du Coeur, directed by the author and Stéphane Berla. In short, Malzieu proves steampunk offers stories with a beating heart.

DVD Review: The Thomas Hardy Collection
Article first published as DVD Review: The Thomas Hardy Collection on Blogcritics.
To many people, the name Thomas Hardy will draw a blank, but he is quite well-known through the titles of his books: Far From the Madding Crowd, Tess of the D'Urbervilles, Jude the Obscure, and The Mayor of Casterbridge.
Thomas Hardy wrote of 19th century rural England and the conflict that ensues when the poor bump up against the wealthy. The Thomas Hardy Collection is a two-disc DVD set, containing imaginings of two of Hardy's greatest works, Tess of the D'Urbervilles (1998) and The Mayor of Casterbridge (2001).
Of the two, it's easier to love Tess as a protagonist. Justine Waddell is an inspired choice and believable as a period heroine, all billowy clouds of brown hair and pure pale skin. Her Tess evolves from glowy farm girl to hollow-cheeked beauty ground up by poverty and then finally to fae-like impulse child with nothing to lose. Arguably one of the most believably written women in the English language, Tess appeals to modern audience with her bold independence.
The first time Tess leaves home, she tries to improve her family's situation by approaching the wealthy D'Urberville family, to whom she mistakenly believes she is related. She staunchly refuses the advances of the master of the house, Alec D'Urberville (an excellent Jason Flemyng).
There's a charming sequence involving Tess trying to whistle at the songbirds, at the request of the eccentric Lady D'Urberville: "Mother won't be happy with you unless you can whistle to her birds", teases Alec, whistling before he kisses her on the cheek. She pulls away and he snappily retorts: "I taught you whistling, cuz, and one day I'll teach you kissing." As a Victorian tragedy, though, such repartee does not lead to happiness.
Tess takes takes a job as a milkmaid, which offers a second sighting of her first love – Angel Clare (Oliver Milburn). This film version will introduce you to the unexpected romance of milking a cow, the sideways glance along the haunch. Symbolism of the natural world and its dangers abound: the sharpening of a scythe, the pricking of rose thorns. Watching love's petals unfold for Angel is touching, but Tess has been compromised and happiness is all too brief.
The ending of Tess of the D'Urbervilles is abrupt after such an epic travel, but oh, what a journey. Both books (as well as the movie adaptations) are set in the semi-fictional part of England known as Wessex, based on Hardy's homeland of Dorchester.Tess of the D'Urbervilles features idyllic artistic visuals, from May Day dances to gloriously golden brown harvests, industrial age machines contrasted with peasants bent-back from scything.
Contrasted with Tess' indomitable resourcefulness is the character of Mike Henchard. Henchard is the eponymous Mayor of Casterbridge, a believably flawed man who is the sole disruptor of his own happiness.
In The Mayor of Casterbridge, Henchard starts off as a drunken sot who sells off his wife and infant daughter for money to drink. This leads him to vow off alcohol for a period of 21 years and he manages to build himself a life of respectability as a prominent corn and grains merchant.
Henchard, played by the ever-astonishing Ciaran Hinds, is by turns unfaithful, fickle, cruel and unjust. A chance at redemption arrives in the appearance of his formerly-sold wife and their now-adult daughter. They are destitute and so move to Casterbridge where she poses as a widow and he "marries" her. He confides in his new manager, the confident and charming Farfrae (James Purefoy), of his past shame.
Lucetta (Polly Walker), a wealthy widow loved and abandoned by Henchard, seizes her chance at happiness and marries Farfrae, who up till now had courted Henchard's daughter. Henchard sees both of the women he loves being lost to Farfrae and jealousy blooms, leading him to a series of bad business and personal decisions.
One consistent thread through the The Mayor of Casterbridge is the female characters' anxiety about their public reputation and lack of control over their destiny; this is shown in moments like the suspenseful delicacy of opening a highly-anticipated letter.
Lies are told, secrets are kept, and shame is hidden until publicly exposed. Henchard's weaknesses lead to the loss of all he holds dear; the plot rivets your gaze, like a carriage crash in slow motion.
This 2-DVD set is the perfect addition to any literary film buff's library. Watching The Thomas Hardy Collection made me wish to go back and reread the books…and what greater gift can a literary movie adaptation give?

DVD Review: Trimpin: The Sound of Invention
Article first published as DVD Review: Trimpin: The Sound of Invention on Blogcritics.
Have you ever wondered what magic sounds like? It might sound a little like the music of Trimpin: cacophonic clicks and wheezes and zoops intermingled with ethereal angel tones, sonorous shimmers in unexpected audio combinations.
"I didn't want to be a technician or an engineer or just a musician or a composer. The interest was laying in between," says Trimpin in the opening lines of this enchanting documentary, Trimpin: The Sound of Invention.
Trimpin, who goes by only his last name, does not look like the popular conception of an artist, more like the eccentric, fae-touched inventor in a German folktale. He favors cardigans and plaid shirts and is balding, bearded and bespectacled, with a heavily German-accented voice. He has no cell phone or website. He does not use social media. Despite no agent or gallery representation, his work is seen in museums and public spaces around the world. He is like Mozart crossed with Doc Brown from Back to the Future.
Trimpin's studio is a combination of Wonderland, Oz and a junk heap. Nothing is quite as it seems; everything is repurposed. Rusty bits and bobs and Elvis posters pile up alongside a typewriter that plays like a piano. His creations source found objects to manifest magic. A room full of hanging wooden Dutch shoes ("Klompen") becomes a clattering, clicking fusillade of rhythmic moments.
"Klompen" by Trimpin
Sounds evoke memories. A favorite song might remind us of a special evening or a lost love. Trimpin hears music differently, sees things differently. His existence is solely aural-focused; he discovers a new sound and so explores it with boyish glee. His eyes light up behind his spectacles like neon.
With little editorializing, director Peter Esmonde allows Trimpin to tell his story. Trimpin explains he left Germany in search of affordable junk…which led him to America, the land of the disposable. Trimpin talks of his childhood experimentation in the Black Forest, land of cuckoo clocks, "as a kid I was always exposed to these kind of gadgets that could make music and move."
Much of Trimpin: The Sound of Invention follows a collaborative project with famed contemporary classical music group, The Kronos Quartet. There's much fun in watching these seasoned musicians face instruments built out of disemboweled cellos and plastic guitars. Trimpin's graphical scores, magnificent colored graph and composition paper, look more like architectural plans than a musical staff.
Trimpin
Trimpin was not always a critical darling. During the documentary, he pulls out file folders full of rejection letters. Ultimately, he was a recipient of MacArthur Genius Grant, a tribute to his persistence when the world had no use for his art.
Trimpin himself is endearingly whimsical, riding a giant tricycle and playing a one-man accordian band. He is unselfconsciously playful, much like the children who interact with his sculptures and inventions. One little boy dances to Trimpin's music the way we all should dance – like no one is watching.
Trimpin: The Sound of Invention culminates with the collaborative concert with The Kronos Quartet, a melange of music, mayhem and magnificence that deconstructs the idea of performance art and then reassembles it. Just like Trimpin would do.

I have a friend who bought a house unseen at a bankruptcy auction in the forest in Sweden some years ago. I was there the day he got the keys, and I have been returning often, especially in the wintertime. The landscape there is quite different to what I am used to in the archipelago where I live. I work with staged landscape, and this allowed me to try out concepts that would be impossible at home. So we cut down this tree, near his house, brought it to this frozen lake – and lit it.
Following 11 generations before him, Ole Brodersen (37) grew up on an island-society without cars, today holding about 60 inhabitants. Son of a sail maker, grandson of a captain, he used to row to school, where the only other pupil joined him in a class of two. Ole first started sailing at the age of six, and has spent most of his life close to the ocean, in constant company of the elements.
Ole was further exposed to the elements while circumnavigating the Atlantic Ocean. Accompanied by a few close friends, aboard a 37 feet wooden pilot cutter built in 1894, and at the mercy of elements for a year they led a life in elemental enclosure.
Ole Brodersen is educated as an art director from one of the top 10 creative schools in the world. Brodersen later assisted the fine-art photographer Dag Alveng (represented by amongst others MOMA and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.) All his works are photographed on and around his home-island where he also runs a gallery exhibiting his works. He recently moved back to his grandparent's house from the 1850s, and set up a darkroom in his father's sail loft on the island. Brodersen's photographs were last shown at the Scandinavia House in New York; his participation supported by the Norwegian Consulate and mentioned by the New Yorker and Harper's Magazine. His works has been acquired by private and public collections in Norway, Sweden, Serbia, Malawi, the United Arab Emirates and USA. Brodersen has sojourned in New York, Prague, Belgrade, Stockholm, Lima and Porto. He is a member of Norwegian Society of Fine Art Photographers, Norwegian Visual Artist's Association and recently received the city of Risør's art grant.

Towards a 9th wave of the epidemic before Christmas?
by novoqac.comPosted on November 30, 2022
Less than a month before Christmas, the Covid-19 epidemic is on the rise again, with epidemiologists and the Prime Minister already talking about a "wave".
"The Covid-19 epidemic is starting again," Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne said before the National Assembly on Tuesday. It is an indisputable finding now that the increase is obvious.
According to French Public Health data, on Monday, November 28, an average of 44,061 positive cases were detected in a week, which is a 39% increase compared to the previous week. The prime minister said there had been a "nearly 10% increase in hospital admissions in a week" and a 22% increase in those in "critical care", with 400 deaths last week.
Antoine Flahault, an epidemiologist and director of the Institute for Global Health at the University of Geneva, told BFMTV: "There is a very clear progression of contamination and it has certainly collapsed compared to the few months that were greatly underestimated by the number of tests." .
The "new wave" is already here
Can we talk about the 9th wave of the epidemic? Elizabeth Borne did not hesitate. "This new wave reminds us: the virus has not disappeared, the epidemic strikes again, kills again," he said. He is joined by Antoine Flahault.
"This wave is earlier than last fall," he said, carried by the Delta variant.
In mid-November, he already told BFMTV.com: "In the coming weeks, we should observe a new wave in France, the ninth of this pandemic, carried by the BQ.1.1 subvariant of Omicron."
An unprecedented triple epidemic
With the addition of this wave of Covid-19, the situation is even more worrying in terms of health exacerbation of bronchiolitis – the highest in the last ten years – and particularly virulent seasonal flu epidemic," said the Prime Minister.
This triple epidemic is "seasonal". "We have a very special relationship with bronchiolitis, influenza and Covid epidemics, not to mention the circulation of other winter viruses," explained infectious disease specialist Benjamin Davido, the Covid-19 referent at the Raymond-Poincare hospital, to BFMTV.com. Garches, in the Hauts-de-Seine.
Emergency return of barrier gestures
"I make a solemn appeal: let us respect the gestures of obstruction. Let's put on the mask like with fragile people or in crowded places like public transport," asked Elisabeth Borne during her speech at the Assembly.
But this "call" to wear a mask in public transport is still not an obligation. "Does it have to be worn indoors," Armand Semerjian, chief physician of Clamart (Hauts-de-Seine), asked on BFMTV on Tuesday.
Benjamin Davido, he believes that we "shouldn't wait the government says wear a mask to wear".
But with year-end celebrations fast approaching, it is always possible to buck the trend and slow the spread of the epidemic in France.
Philippe Amouyel, an epidemiologist and professor of public health at the Lille University Hospital, told BFMTV.com that "within a month we can crush the emerging wave", but to do so "we need to restore social distancing habits".
The vaccination campaign is not satisfactory
In addition to deterrence gestures, vaccination – especially injections of booster doses – remains one of the main weapons to slow the epidemic and relieve congestion in hospital services.
Since the launch of the two-vaccine booster campaign this Monday, October 3, 2 million people have been boosted against Covid-19. Among them, 1.8 million people have received such vaccines, which target the original strain of Covid and the Omicron strain.
Today, only 21% of people aged 80 and over and 37% of those aged 60-79 are "adequately protected by vaccination or previous infection", according to the Ministry of Health. During the press briefing of the Ministry of Health and Prevention, it was noted that today the level of vaccinations is "not enough".
He added: "With three weeks of mobilization left until Christmas, it's now played out."

I can tell you from experience what it's like to hang by a thread.
The clothesline pole looked like a giant letter "T." It had four eyebolts bored through the crossbar, two on each side of the post, to which each of the clotheslines was attached. The rounded eyes of the blots faced toward the workshop, while the threaded-ends stuck through the back of the pole and were held in place with a nut. Four rope clotheslines stretched from a t-shaped pole at the edge of the back porch, across the small back yard, to a board on the outside wall of my dad's workshop.
I would stand on my toes at the edge of the porch, carefully grab the crossbar in the narrow spaces between the eyebolts, and swing myself into the yard. I repeated this action many times daily to experience the thrill of flying for the half-a-second it took me to get to the ground from the porch two-feet above. I had jumped from the edge of the porch before, but the sensation of thrusting from the crossbar was much more exciting and gave me an extra quarter-second in the air.
Such death-defying displays of courage were the cause of many of my childhood injuries; sprained ankles from poor landings and cuts on my hands and wrists from grabbing the pole too closely to bolts. There were few scares, though, that topped the ten minutes I hung suspended in the air by the threads of my watch band.
After I had taken the garbage out one summer morning, I ran back to the porch, quickly grabbed the crossbar, and launched into my first swing of the day. Much to my surprise, I never hit the ground. Instead, my watchband had somehow slipped over the threaded, protruding-end of an eyebolt and twisted so that it was wrapped around the threads twice. If you had seen me from a distance, it might have looked to you as if my right wrist was bolted to the crossbar. With my fingers sticking upward, my feet dangling two feet off the ground and inches from the edge of the porch, I am sure it was the sight to see.
My body weight made it impossible to release the buckle on the band, or to untwist the band with my left hand. I was too far from the edge of the porch to swing back so that my toes could touch and take enough weight off my watchband to allow me to free myself. Dad was working that day, and I was too embarrassed to call for my mom knowing how she always found so much humor in these situations that her laughter would have prevented her from helping me before I lost the circulation to my hand.
I was contemplating the next day's newspaper headline: "Boy hung by watchband. Loses hand," when I heard the neighbor's screen door squeak. I saw Dan come out of the house and into his back yard.
Dan was probably 20, about ten years older than I was at the time, and lived next door with his grandparents. His large pot belly, acne-scarred face, and biker-like dress made him look considerably older. The only hint to his real age was the exceptionally well-drawn superhero characters that he painted on the ever-present white t-shirts he wore under his sleeveless denim vest.
As he walked into the yard, Dan saw me hanging from the crossbar. He walked over to the fence and asked what I was doing. I acted as nonchalantly as I could, considering my fingers were turning purple, but I finally explained my predicament and asked for his help. He laughed, and after what seemed like hours of making fun of me, he agreed to help me down.
It took Dan a long time to walk the twenty-five feet from his backyard, through the alley, and into my backyard to release me from this awkward, self-inflicted crucifixion of sorts. I am sure he took baby-steps once he was out of my sight. He might have even stopped for a while to smell the flowers along the way; that's just how Dan rolled.
When he finally arrived, he lifted me just enough to take the weight off the watch band, and I was able to free myself. I thanked him for helping me get down; he smiled and went home without another word. For a brief moment in the life of a little boy, Dan was a hero, not unlike the comic book heroes he drew on his t-shirts. Learning about his life struggles as an adult, helping me off the clothesline pole may have been the only time Dan felt like he was anyone's hero.
I am sure he would have said he was an unlikely hero because he just happened to be in the right place, at the right time. To me, that sounds like the best definition of a real hero.

Iran expands evacuations as rains worsen floods

DUBAI (Reuters) – Iran moved on Saturday to evacuate more towns and villages threatened by floods after continued rain in the southwest of the country, state television reported, as the nationwide toll from the flooding reached 70.
Many residents of Susangerd, with a population of about 50,000, and five other communities in the oil-rich southwestern province of Khuzestan were being moved to safer areas as officials released water from major dams, state TV reported.
"An evacuation order has been issued and we are recommending women and children to leave but we are asking the men and youth to stay and help us build floodwalls so we can keep the water out of these cities," the provincial governor, Gholamreza Shariati, told state TV.
"The inflow into the Karkheh river dam has been high … and officials have had to release more water as the dam was approaching its full capacity," Shariati said, adding the flooding was the worst in 70 years.
Rains were expected to end in Khuzestan by Monday, state TV said.
In the neighboring Lorestan province, seven villages threatened by landslides were to be evacuated, state TV said.
At least 70 people have been killed, the head of the country's emergency services, Pirhossein Koulivand, told the state news agency IRNA.
About 1,900 cities and villages have been affected by floods after exceptionally heavy rains since March 19.
The disaster has left aid agencies struggling to cope and seen 86,000 people moved to emergency shelters.
The government has told citizens, and especially flood-affected farmers, that all losses will be compensated.
Iran's state budget is already stretched under U.S. sanctions on energy and banking sectors that have halved its oil exports and restricted access to some revenues abroad.
President Hassan Rouhani, whom critics have accused of mismanaging the response to the disaster, said on Wednesday the sanctions were also hampering aid efforts.
As waters continue to submerge villages, the government said it had deployed more mobile medical units to the southern provinces. Around 1,000 people have been airlifted by emergency helicopters to safety in recent days.
The head of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards reiterated the armed forces "were using all their power" to minimize the damage in Khuzestan. Iranian drilling companies and other energy firms have been assisting rescue efforts in flooded areas, using pumps to remove water.

Need to do this configuration on asp.net core

            app.UseSwagger();

            app.UseSwaggerUI(c =>

                foreach (var description in provider.ApiVersionDescriptions)
                {
                    c.SwaggerEndpoint($"/swagger/{description.GroupName}/swagger.json", description.GroupName.ToUpperInvariant());
                }

                //c.SwaggerEndpoint("/swagger/v2/swagger.json", "DEMO Api v2");
                //c.SwaggerEndpoint("/swagger/v1/swagger.json", "DEMO Api v1");

                //OAuth2
                var OktaConfig = new OktaConfig();
                Configuration.GetSection("OktaConfig").Bind(OktaConfig);
                c.OAuthClientId(OktaConfig.ClientId);
                c.OAuth2RedirectUrl($"{OktaConfig.RedirectUrl}/swagger/oauth2-redirect.html");
                c.OAuthUseBasicAuthenticationWithAccessCodeGrant();
                c.OAuthClientSecret(OktaConfig.ClientSecret);
                c.OAuthAppName(OktaConfig.ClientName);
                c.OAuthScopeSeparator($"openid profile email {Program.ResourceIdentifier}");
                c.OAuthAdditionalQueryStringParams(new Dictionary<string, string>
                {
                    { "response_type","token"},
                    { "nonce", "nonce" }
                });
                //c.ConfigObject.DeepLinking = true;

            });
        }

And need to add policies and rule


It's winter so it's hutsepot time.
First you chop up all the vegies in big chunks, since this is going to cook for at least 2 hours. Then you add 1 liter of water in a big pot withe the pork meat. Add all the veggies but wait with the cabbage untill last. Add salt (a teaspoon to begin with). Let it simmer for one and a half hours. Take out the meat and shred. Return the meat to the pot. Make nice biggish balls out of the minced meat and add to the pot. Cook for another half an hour. This serves a small army.


What makes a great leader? That was the focus at this month's Institute of Directors in Ireland event at The National Gallery.
To discuss this topic, the IoD invited Jamie Heaslip, Ireland and Leinster Rugby Player, Anne Heraty, CEO, Cpl Resources plc and Bobby Kerr, Entrepreneur and Broadcaster, to take part in a panel discussion. I was delighted to attend on the evening, and to share their advice with you below.
CEO of Cpl, Anne established the business in 1989 and continues to lead the company. Anne is also passionate about nurturing and leading new business talent. An experienced business leader Anne confirmed that trust and strength of character are key to being a great leader.
Good leaders bring out the best in people and when you have trust as a leader you can drive change and bring people to new heights, helping them reach their full potential. You achieve very little alone, so one of the most important jobs a leader has to do is to select their team and then commit to each individuals success. To lead you must lead by example. Experience is also a great teacher particularly, when things don't go right.
Lastly, Anne highlighted the importance of having your own mentor, someone to get feedback and advice from so you are always learning and improving.
Bobby Kerr is an Irish businessman, entrepreneur and was a founding dragon on RTÉ's Dragon's Den. After almost 20 years building the Insomnia brand in Ireland, in 2017, Bobby sold his shares in Insomnia to refocus and reevaluate following a cancer scare.
Speaking from his experiences Bobby advised that to be a great leader you need to have great people around you – from your business partners to those working for you and mentoring you. To lead you need people to be sincere – reputation & integrity are key to leadership and without them people won't trust you or want to work for you. Doing rather than saying was also paramount for Bobby, be brave and don't care about what others think if you are passionate about making it work.
Ireland and Leinster rugby player Jamie Heaslip is a respected sports professional and keen businessman and charity patron. Winning titles and taking part in business ventures has taught him how to succeed on and off the pitch and what makes a great leader.
For Jamie, he believes planning is vital to success – for leaders and non-leaders. In both sport and business Jamie advised that having a dream, followed by a clear plan is important. If you have an idea, you need passion, something to aspire to, followed by clarity to get things done. Like Anne, Jamie also advised on having an honest and open approach and to show your values in your actions.
So, what makes a great leader? The common message on the night was to collaborate well and always be open to growth and feedback. Leaders must live their values, communicate effectively and always lead by example.

The Bible teaches that God knows every detail of our lives. He has created us and given us gifts, skills and abilities (Ps 139:13) and He knows all the days of our lives before they come to be (Ps 139:16). Acts 17:26 explains that God even determines where we will live! From these scriptures we see a picture of a God who is concerned with the details of our lives; and that includes marriage.

What should I do if I think my boss keeps making bad decisions?
We can see in the Scriptures the general principles of how Christians should interact with those in authority over them such as employers. Before we look at them, it is worth bearing in mind that too often we are quick to criticise and complain about those in authority over us and the decisions they make. A lot of the time, employees simply do not possess all the information they would need to make an informed opinion. We should hesitate to jump to conclusions about the decisions those in authority make, and trust they are making a good choice.

How can I get on with someone I find difficult?
Sometimes a relationship is difficult because of the other persons actions or attitude, and sometimes it is difficult because of our own actions and attitude. Normally, it is a bit of both! It is very easy to look at the other person and see their faults without looking at our own and you must avoid this danger. The Apostle Paul speaks about this kind of issue in Romans 12:17-18: "17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone.

Exclusive: Mahindra Thar Signature Edition to feature dual-front airbags
28/05/2019 - 17:40 | Mahindra Thar, Mahindra | Prashant Singh
Yesterday, a few images of the Mahindra Thar Signature Edition had leaked online. IAB has learnt that the Mahindra That Signature Edition will come equipped with not only ABS but also dual-front airbags.
Unlike the Mahindra Thar (pictured), the Mahindra Thar Signature Edition will have ABS and dual-front airbags.
While ABS became mandatory on 1 April 2019, driver airbag will become mandatory for M1 category vehicles on 1 July 2019. The Mahindra Thar is equipped with neither. The Mahindra Thar Signature Edition was known to come with ABS. In addition, sources tell us that it will be equipped with a driver airbag and a front passenger airbag as well. So, the limited-run model will have a new steering wheel and a redesigned dashboard, in order to accommodate the airbags. The Signature Edition, will indeed, be special that way.
Mahindra will bid adieu to the first generation Thar with the Signature Edition. It will offer this model in two exclusive colours: Napoli Black and Aqua Marine. The styling quotient will be enhanced with black decals on the bonnet lid along with silver finishes on the front bumper, a special 'Signature Edition' badge on its fenders with Anand Mahindra's signature, and the 5-spoke, 15-inch alloy wheels from the previous-gen Mahindra Scorpio and the Marksman.
The Mahindra Thar Signature Edition will be more spacious with a wider cabin. Other interior exclusivities will include front-facing rear seats and leatherette seat covers with Thar branding.
The next-gen Mahindra Thar is expected to debut at Auto Expo 2020.
Also See: Next-gen 2020 Mahindra Scorpio - IAB Rendering
The Mahindra Thar Signature Edition will be powered by the 2.5L CRDe diesel engine, which delivers 79 kW (107.41 PS) and 247 Nm of torque. The engine will come mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox. The launch will likely take place next month, and only 700 units will be sold. The next-gen Mahindra Thar is expected to debut at Auto Expo 2020.

The most important parameters in Water/Steam Cycles such as Cation conductivity, dissolved oxygen and pH are available as pre-assembled and factory tested units.
Dedicated analyzers for sodium, silica, phosphate and hydrazine are also factory tested and calibrated for immediate operation.
Choose your parameter from the menu to the left.
The SWAN online conductivity monitors for water steam cycles provide the complete scope of conductivity measurements for maximum instrument availability and gap free trend analysis.
Conductivity in water steam cycles is measured as specific conductivity (total conductivity), acidic conductivity, conductivity after cation exchanger CACE and degassed conductivity.
Measuring Hydrogen in Water Steam Cycle to Predict and Prevent Potential Corrosion.
After Cation Exchange:
Sampling after cation exchange is one of the most important parameters in trace sodium monitoring because it rapidly alerts the operator about resin bed exhaustion.
Sodium measurement is particularly valuable in plants cooled by saline waters, especially if there is a high risk of condenser leakage and no provision for condensate polishing. Consequently, while small leaks may be extremely difficult to locate and eliminate, their detection and escalation is most readily monitored by sodium measurement.
SWAN's sodium analyzers can detect up to 0.001 ppb or 1 ppt of trace sodium in water treatment facilities. This sensitivity allows operators to follow trend changes before any leakage requires immediate action. Additionally, this advantage can be converted over time to analyze the origin of the leakage and to plan either a production reduction, or even to stop production far enough in advance to avoid costly and unexpected emergency shut downs.
After Mixed Bed Resin:
Mixed-bed resin contains a mixture of both cation and anion exchange resins for a fine polish of the pure water. It reduces any contaminant left in the pure water. Therefore, on-line sodium analysis ensures the quality of the demineralized water delivered to the make-up plant.
Boiler:
Solid conditioning agents, such as sodium phosphate and sodium hydroxide, used for boiler water treatment may cause deposits in the turbine and therefore need to be considered as potentially corrosive impurities.
Sodium is also measured in power plant water and steam samples because it is a common corrosive contaminant and can be detected at very low concentrations in the presence of higher amounts of ammonia and/or amine treatment which have a relatively high background conductivity.
Steam purity can be more accurately assessed by measuring sodium concentration in both steam and condensate, thus determining the "sodium balance". The two concentrations should be equal. A higher level of sodium in the condensate indicates a condenser leakage. A lower level of sodium in the condensate indicates deposition of sodium in the steam circuit.
Condensate:
Sodium measurement should be the preferred option for early warnings of excursions on condensates to minimize associated risks.

"Vodka on the rocks. Make it a double," Willow said.
"And for you, Ma'am?" the steward asked.
Willow pushed her seat back as far as it would go and closed her eyes. She hated late night flights. Well, that was not strictly true. The flights were usually okay, but what awaited when she landed was usually painful - finding a rental, driving around in the dark in a strange place looking for some dingy hotel or motel. In the meantime however, she had a couple of hours to relax.
She heard the steward deposit the drink on her seat tray and opened her eyes. She took a sip. Then a mouthful. Willow didn't usually drink on flights, or much at all, for that matter - but she hadn't had a very enjoyable day and thought it might help her mood. And the drink was well under the amount that would usually lead her to try and chat up the stewardesses.
"Agent Rosenberg?" McClay said. She sat in the window seat next to Willow, mopping up the water she'd spilled on her tray.
"Bit of turbulence?" Willow asked, feigning ignorance.
"No. Just c-clumsiness," McClay said. She finished her mopping and put the dripping napkin in her empty cup.
"Want a real drink?" Willow said, indicating her own glass. "We should celebrate our absolutely terrible day, I think. Toast the latest pair of FBI rejects."
"Erm. No. Alcohol makes me even clumsier," McClay said. "And I t- talk a lot. And sometimes I get a little... well... n-nevermind. No thank you."
"No problem," said Willow. "Cheers, anyhow." She raised her glass and drank some more vodka.
"Agent Rosenberg. I'm so very s-sorry for being late... at the airport," McClay said. "I had some problems getting Emkay - m-my cat - settled at my friend's apartment. And then I had to pack... but I'd lost my t-travel bag - I haven't been on a field trip for oh... years - and so I had to buy a new one. And I got lost in the airport."
"It's fine. You were only three hours late," Willow said. Odd - no recent field trip experience either, Willow thought. Not that it really mattered. She'd had five years experience as a field agent, with both investigative and under-cover work. She was sure it would all come back to her. She'd kept up regular practice with her firearm and felt confident about her ability to use it. And she wasn't in trouble for practicing witchcraft without good reason. Willow wondered what McClay actually did for the Bureau. She would find out soon enough, no doubt.
Willow focused on McClay's voice again. She was explaining how she found the airport a little intimidating and often got lost in busy, crowded places.
"Don't worry. I understand," Willow said. She had another mouthful of vodka. She was feeling a lot more relaxed now, and was enjoying watching a particularly attractive stewardess walk up and down the aisle. "I used the time to review the assignment. Several times, in fact. Interesting case."
"Oh. Gosh. I should r-read it now. Then we can talk about it," McClay said.
"Er, No. Not tonight. We'll start fresh in the morning, eh, McClay?" Willow said, leaning back in her chair and closing her eyes once more.
"Okay. S-sure..." McClay said. "And... it's Tara, by the way."
"My name. It's Tara," McClay repeated.
Willow adjusted her blouse and fastened the top button. She smiled into the bathroom mirror. She had a wonderful smile. She seldom used it, however. Not at work, at least. Well, not since Sarah died.
Work still drove her. She was good at it, and she knew she made a difference - did good deeds. Willow felt she could continue at the FBI, put up with its naïve prejudices and politics, as long as she felt she was making a difference.
Work. She put on her mask, letting go of the smile she'd shown the mirror since she was a young girl. She replaced the smile with her moderate, impassive, cool statement.
She zipped up her travel bag, and then, holding her hands close to the black leather case, she wove an intricate pattern in air with her slender fingers. The bag's surface shimmered slightly for a split second. Safe now, she thought.
Willow carried her bag to the door, opened it and went into the corridor. She made her way to McClay's room and rang on the bell. She suppressed the urge to yell "Room Service" and then run away.
A few seconds later McClay opened the door, her bag in her hand.
"Good morning, Agent Rosenberg," she said, smiling brightly at Willow.
McClay wore her hair down today, and long blonde strands fell onto her shoulders and framed her smiling face. Her intense blue eyes looked directly into Willow's.
Willow was momentarily taken aback by the intensity of McClay's gaze. She stared, transfixed, into McClay's bright, clear eyes for several seconds. With difficulty she forced her own eyes away.
"Um... Hi," Willow said. It was all she could say. She struggled to refocus her thoughts.
"Shall we g-go?" McClay said.
"Sure. But must be quick," Willow said, regaining her self control. "We've a four hour drive to get to the crime scene, and I believe there's good reason to hurry."
"Yes. Of c-course," McClay said.
The agents made their way to the lobby and Willow checked them out of the airport hotel. They then proceeded to the hotel's restaurant and found a table.
Willow ordered some coffee. McClay ordered toast and water.
Willow sat and sipped her coffee, looking around the restaurant. Everywhere except McClay's eyes. They'd shaken her, and she didn't like it. Or perhaps she liked it a little too much.
Stupid, she thought. She wouldn't let this woman get to her. She looked up and saw her nibbling her toast and reading a small book. Willow decided to simply avoid looking into her eyes. Simple. Easy.
"You look over the case, McClay?" Willow said.
McClay looked up from her book and wiped a crumb from the corner of her mouth with her napkin.
"Yes, yes I d-did," McClay said. She took a sip of water and cleared her throat. She closed her book and looked at Willow, who avoided meeting her gaze. "Location is the town of Turrendale, New York, population 38,549. Six victims, two male, four female. All six victims share the basic MO. Each found tied to the ground within a large chalk-drawn pentagram, various other symbols present but in each case they are simple annotations and contain little or no information. Each victim was missing the tips of the fingers and toes, and the left eye. Cause of death undeterminable in each case. No toxins, wounds or any other signs of trauma. Each victim found in the nearby woods, except for the latest, a male age 37, found in the basement of his house at 5404 Englewood Terrace, who was discovered by his wife Ashley, age 34, on November 6th at 5:15pm..."
McClay paused to take a breath.
"You remembered all that?" Willow asked, astonished. McClay had recited the facts very quickly in a soft, clear voice devoid of the nervous stutter she normally demonstrated.
"Yes. Well. There's m-more, actually," McClay said. "All of the victims were under 40 years of age and in good health, two were married and all were employed, though one victim, a woman age 26 only worked part time at the local supermarket..."
"Woah!" Willow interrupted, grinning. "Slow down. I get it. You've a good memory, McClay."
"Thank you, Agent R-rosenberg." McClay's cheeks reddened slightly. She looked down at the tablecloth, which gave Willow the chance to look at her without seeing those wonderful eyes.
"And what do you make of all this?" Willow asked.
McClay looked up, and Willow dodged her eyes again. Willow pinched herself. This is silly, she thought. She forced herself to meet McClay's eyes and sat there, reluctantly held by McClay's gaze, as she spoke.
"It's a c-collection ritual. That is, a process of collecting s- sacred items to perform some other larger spell or ritual. It's most commonly used to translate a spirit or demon from the nether world into this dimension," McClay said.
Willow let out a small sigh of relief. This woman was clever, if clumsy. And she knew witchcraft. McClay wouldn't be the useless dead weight Willow was dreading having follow her around a small isolated town.
She pulled her eyes from McClay's. It was a little easier this time.
"I think you're right," Willow said. "Did you notice that the period between each murder is decreasing over time ? This might indicate that the entity is becoming closer to this dimension and requires more frequent rituals to penetrate the stronger local membrane between realms."
"That's just what I thought," McClay said, somewhat excitedly. "And, g-given the dates of the murders, w-we should be able to figure out when the summoning will be complete"
"March 19th, late afternoon," Willow said, trying not to sound too smug. "I wrote a small program to calculate it last night. "
"Really?" McClay said, smiling at Willow. "That's wonderful!"
Then McClay frowned. Her faced became troubled, and as her smile faded Willow felt an unwanted pang of loss. Danger sign Willow, she warned herself.
"Goddess. That's only two weeks away," McClay said.
"It is. Not much time," Willow said. "And it gets worse. I'm sure that another ritual needs to be performed, before the summoning, to provide the energy for the final crossing. So, we're looking at the possibility of another murder soon. Very soon, Tara."
"Oh d-dear", Tara said. "We'd better go, Agent Rosenberg."
"Yes. We'd better," Willow said. She paused for a few moments, let out a small sign of resignation, then forced herself to look directly into Tara's concerned eyes.
"And it's Willow. My name is Willow."

Merry Christmas, 1776
DA Poster 21-37
Trenton, New Jersey, 26 December 1776. General Washington here matched surprise and endurance against the superior numbers and training of the British, and the Continental Army won its first victory in long months of painful striving. Trenton eliminated 1,000 Hessians and drove the British from their salient in New Jersey. It saved the flagging American cause and put new heart into Washinton's men. Alexander Hamilton's Company of New York Artillery (now D Battery*, 5th Field Artillery) opened the fight at dawn, blasting the bewildered Hessians as they tried to form ranks in the streets.
While this may have been true when the caption for this painting was written, a reorganization and redesignation changed the unit's designation to 1st Battalion, 5th Field Artillery, which today carries the history of Alexander Hamilton's artillery company.

Installing new kitchen. Floorboards in places crumbling. Some joists crumbly on top with the usual wee holes made by our new found "friends". Reckon it is active as some newer boards have holes in too. How good is Cuprinol woodworm treatment ? The main chemical in it is not what is reccomemned on other web sites. My builder friend advises me to slap the stuf on and put new treated joists where required next to the old ones.
Over what period can the worms destroy a new joist .. years or months. To me it does not look as though you can wipe the worm out with one treatment due to the life cycle. D o Rentokil reckon they can?
Most boring beetles only eat into damp wood. The solution is sort the damp problem. Chemicals are not a good solution.
Dear Mike You need to identify the problem first. Is it "woodworm" (Anobium punctatum) or any one of many other similar wood-destroying insects some of which cannot reproduce such as Bark Borer (Ernobis mollis). To do this you need either to get someone who has the expertise or follow certain tests with say the frass or size of hole If you were to take photos I would happily advise.
IF it is woodworm then the chances are that it is not active. I can explain if pressed but I don't have the time here. You do have one sound indicator of activity - viz "new" wood being attacked BUT how new is new?
There is one perfectly good test to determine activity but I suspect you dont have the time (it takes 3 years to be sure!) If you can keep access to these timbers then do the test - get some glue not containing a biocide - eg flour and water or a staple gun and stick lining paper to all the timbers affected. Wait till Sept 2010 and absent any holes in the paper your attack is dead. Any holes and you know where the activity is and can treat it where it counts.
All insecides permitted for use have an HSE number and none is classified toxic. The "worst" ie has the lowest LD 50 - is still only classified "irritant". I advise you to use a sythetic pyrethroid such as permethrin or cypermethrin. I would not bother with borates which are much in vogue with the ecologically challenged. You want it to be effective.
What is the frass like? is it gritty and have lemon shaped pellets under a x 10 lens?
How new is new? 50 years or 5 years?
How old is the whole house?
Wood worm very rarely "destroys a joist" I have personsally surveyed several thousand houses and only very rarely are WHOLE joists destroyed. Well under 0.5% at a subjective guess. What happens is the sapwood gets destroyed and the heart wood remains (generally). It normally takes 50 plus years if it is going to happen.
The answer to your last question is undoubtedly "yes"! but is of little relevance!
Thanx for all that !!
The "new" affected floorboard is about 18 months old.
Cuprinol product contains Flufenoxuron 0.02% Propiconazole 0.06% Hopefully more than just a irritant to make their noses itch !.
Floorboards when split are sort of griity in worst places and full of tunnels.. Some pin holes bigger than others .. on all sides. Fine sawdust on top of joists 2mm deep at worst spots . this is also where you can easily knock off the first 5mm of the joists. All very dry.
I use the 5 star when operating as an amateur. (ie in my house) rather than in my business when I was working as a contractor.
Quick question, how do you rate the active ingredients, propiconazole 0.6% and flufenoxuron 0.02%?
Would they be good enough for external use where the wood is unprotected, or would some form of paint or stain always be required?
I recently noticed they've changed the formula of the green stuff to propiconazole 0.6% instead of copper napthenate >:( , and no longer recommend it for structural timber in ground contact.
That said, as I understand it copper based preservers were not intended to stop wood boring insects, only rot.
That was a comprehensive, interesting and exhaustive summary of the problem and the approaches to dealing with it and thanks for that.
One question I have however... In the last sentence, I note that you suggest that it should not get onto the oversight if possible, even suggesting a poly barrier to prevent this. Is there a reason for this, apart from waste of expensive chemical, or is it a Health & Safety issue?
As the little blighters will not emerge until next spring ... what are the adults doing right now (chomping)? More importantly, after all my care brushing on the 5 Star, how long will the pesticide remain active in the wood ?
.. >Installing new kitchen. .. >Floorboards in places crumbling.
Today .... added plug sockets and moved plumbing, but more importantly I removed the joists that will run along under the new units ..... fortunately they run with the kitchen units. These joists will be hard to monitor compared to the rest. The sawdust was like deep yellow fine snow on one of the supporting walls. Even the cobwebs are yellow. Sole plates untouched ! Floorboards seem to be the location, location, location for the pests.
Some comfort though as the coal hole which became part of the kitchen in 1968, only has the burrowers at the outside wall end on only two boards. So perhaps infestation growth rate is pretty slow. I will lift them up and have a look what is going on down there. I am painting on the Cuprinol 5 Star on all surfaces as I go along .... it surly makes me feel better whether it helps or not.

Q: coffescript - bind function with params hookPreview: (tab, textarea) ->
  $(tab).bind "click", preview($(textaread).val()) ->
    false

of course it doesn't act as expected: preview(...) is not a function. The documentation didn't point out a way that I can pass params to preview.
Edit:
There's also something wrong with bootstrap's tab control:

Edit

Preview

PREVIEW

With hookPreview's existence tabs couldn't switch, but was fine when new handler not bind to it. No errors in console, though.

A: Big stab in the dark here... you want to call the function preview with the value of textaread on the click event? Then:
hookPreview: (tab, textarea) ->
  $(tab).bind "click", preview.bind null, $(textaread).val()

This reads the value of textaread at the time the event handler is bound. It also returns whatever preview returns, not false. To a) return false and/or b) read the value of textaread at the time the event is triggered, write a simple callback wrapper:
hookPreview: (tab, textarea) ->
  $(tab).bind "click", ->
    preview $(textaread).val()
    return false

A: Putting the $(textaread).val() part into the brackets of the preview function leads to calling the function, not defining it, thus failing since the function has not been defined.
Yet I don't see any sense in passing the value as a parameter - why not just get it, when the event handler fires:
hookPreview: (tab, textarea) ->
  $(tab).bind "click", preview() ->
    textValue = $(textaread).val()
    return false

Jean Castel, né le  à Freychenet dans l'Ariège et mort le  à Nice dans les Alpes-Maritimes, est un homme politique et syndicaliste agricole français. En 1925, il devient membre du Comité central du Parti communiste français (PCF) et le demeure jusqu'en 1929.

Biographie

En 1921, il est l'un des auteurs du projet de Thèses sur la question agraire, adopté par le congrès de Marseille du PC. Il devient, en 1923, secrétaire du journal La Voix paysanne. En octobre, la Fédération CGTU des travailleurs de l'agriculture le délègue à la première conférence internationale paysanne, réunie à Moscou. Il s'installe à Paris en 1922.

En 1924, le Bureau politique (BP) du PC le charge de la direction du travail paysan du PC, puis, en 1925, il devient secrétaire de la commission centrale agraire du PC. En octobre, la direction de celui-ci juge que cette commission fonctionne mal en raison des nombreuses tâches de Castel. Quelques mois plus tôt, des militants communistes ont fondé le Conseil paysan français, dont Castel est le secrétaire général. Depuis janvier, lors du congrès de Clichy du PC, il était devenu membre du Comité central du PC.

Il est reconduit au Comité central, lors du congrès de Lille du PC, en 1926.

En 1928, il s'installe à Livry-Gargan, en Seine-et-Oise. Lors d'un Bureau politique (BP), Renaud Jean critique Castel pour son administration de La Voix paysanne. En septembre, celui-ci assure le secrétariat de la Confédération générale des paysans-travailleurs (CGPT).

En 1931, le conseil d'administration de la coopérative l'Union des paysans travailleurs porte plainte contre lui pour détournement de fonds. Il est condamné en 1932 par la  correctionnelle, à six mois de prison, à la restitution de  et à  de dommages et intérêts. À partir d'août, selon la police, il est appointé, comme employé, par la Région parisienne du PC.

[INTERVIEW] With ... Jack Perrett
Posted by Susan Hansen on August 18, 2018
Jack Perrett Credit: Theodore Swaddling Photography
"My new song Portlife is just a bit of fun really, it isn't too serious. But it is quite educational.You can learn a lot about Newport by listening to it."
Not only did Huw Stephens give his nod of approval. The songs are infectiously melodic and fully formed, there is plenty of attitude, ambition and drive. Following a string of successfully completed live shows to enthusiastic reviews Jack Perrett decided it was time to return to the studio to record new material. It's All Indie caught up with Newport's cool indie kid to hear all about the songs, the process of writing as well as hopes and plans for the future. Having only just finished a mini busking tour there was more than plenty to talk about.
"The busking tour went well. We had people coming to watch us because they had seen the video on Facebook and it was nice to play at the different locations mentioned in the song. The best venue was at El Siecos, people were singing along to Portlife which was great."
You have also recorded a couple of new songs. What can you tell us about them, how would you describe the writing process?
"Yes I have got two new songs which are currently in the mixing process. One of them is called Like A Fever and the other one is called Going Nowhere. Both have a completely different sound. Like A Fever is a rocker whereas Going Nowhere is more of a ballad."
"Like A Fever started off with a guitar riff that I had for a while. The verses were part of another song I had. After jamming out some chords in the rehearsal room I thought the riff might be a good way to start the song and then the verses fitted well with the chord progression. Going Nowhere was co-written with Rhys my bass player. I had the melody and lyrics for the verse and chorus. Rhys came up with the riff at the start and he had a chorus which we then used as the middle eight of the song. Going Nowhere is probably my favourite song that I have been involved with and I can't wait for people to hear it. It is the most complex song I have been involved with. There is a great bassline, great guitar riff, interesting backing vocals. There is also a key change in there too."
To those unfamiliar with your work, when did you first become involved in music?
"I have always been into listening to music even when I was a kid. When I was about 16 I decided to try and learn to play the guitar as I had ten weeks off school following my GCSEs. So I borrowed a cheap guitar from my brothers' mate and was persistent in practicing my favourite songs. As soon as I could string a few chords together I started writing my own songs."
Your latest single Portlife is based on Blur's Parklife, can you tell us what inspired you to record and release it? Did you have apply for copyright permission?
"I was playing an open mic night in Riverside Tavern in Newport and I covered Blur's Parklife in my set. When I came off stage another Newport artist called Joe Kelly told me he liked the cover and thinks I should rename it Portlife. I thought that was a good idea to build on my local fan base in Newport. My thinking is by getting the people of Newport interested in my music, I can then branch out further afield. So I went away and rewrote the lyrics and also my bass player Rhys Jones rewrote his own version. We then put the best lines together and that was that."
"Then we went to One Louder Studios in Newport to record the song. Focus Shift Films (also from Newport) were then asked to the video and they liked the song were happy to be a part of the project. The song is just a bit of fun really, it isn't too serious. But it is quite educational. You can learn a lot about Newport by listening to Portlife. Because the song is a parody version I didn't have to ask for permission or at least that is what I have been told (laughs)."
From your own catalogue what song are you particularly proud of?
"I have nine songs available for people to listen to online. I also have another two singles coming out in the next six months. I have quite a few which I haven't recorded yet as well. I am proud of most of my songs to be fair. In The Morning is probably my favourite though. It was the first song that I really concentrated on the lyrics I think. Every word in that song has a meaning. I've Got It All But I Want More is up there too. It is such as basic song but I love playing it every time we play live and the crowd seem to too."
How important do consider lyrics to be? Do you write a lyric before you have a melody or how do you like to work?
"Most of the time it is the lyrics that are last. Either I think of a certain topic to write a song about or if it's just a set of words that don't really have much meaning but just sound good together with the melody. Usually it starts off with a chord progression, then a vocal melody, then lyrics. And then any lead guitar, harmonies etc come later on."
Your songs offer a new take on iconic bands like The Stone Roses and Oasis (and more) but how did you go about bringing those influences to your music ensuring you keep your own sound?
"I think musically those inspirations are there to hear. But I do try to make all of my songs sound different. Drunk and Stoned for example is very Stone Roses whereas Got It All sounds like The Who I think. Lyrically I try and put the language and phrases that I use and that I hear my friends use. I am always trying to progress as a musician though. I am trying to learn how to play piano and the drums, although it is taking me a while (laughs)."
You worked with Steffan Pringle? What songs did he produce, mix or engineer?
"Yes I have worked with Steffan on all of my releases apart from Portlife. Steffan is really great, he can make you look at a song in a different way if you know what I mean. He comes up with ideas that I wouldn't think of. It is nice to have someone like Steffan offering his opinion and fresh ideas on what direction to take when in the studio."
Is there a record label you are interested in signing to?
"I haven't really thought about it to be honest. Obviously it would be nice to have some financial backing from a label but I think artists can be less dependent on them nowadays. Heavenly Recordings seem like a great label though. It would be great to get on a tour with Boy Azooga. I think the next step for me is to get some sort of management and a booking agent on board, because it is hard to find the time to write, rehearse, gig and all of the admin stuff that goes with being a solo artist."
What bands are you listening to at the moment and who do you admire?
"I have been listening to Boy Azooga's '1,2, Kung Fu' album a lot in the car recently. I also really like a band from Alloa in Scotland called Vida."
What gigs have you enjoyed most to date? What is your experience of playing outside Wales?
"We played a sold out gig in Meze in Newport. That was my favourite. It was the first time most of the people there had seen me play with the band. It is always a good feeling playing your own songs and seeing the people in front of you singing them back to you. Yes I have done many gigs outside of Wales, both solo and with the band. I have played in London, Manchester and Hastings to name a few. I am more selective with playing outside of Wales at the moment because promoters don't tend to want to pay you unless you bring a crowd. Which is pretty dull really, there aren't many other jobs where you do it for nothing."
Tell me how you go about picking songs ahead of a live set
"I have a pretty consistent setlist. Certain songs are great at different points of a set. For example my song I've Got It All But I Want More, I couldn't see that anywhere else in the set apart from last. Whereas What You Saying? is a great opener. It is usually nice to start with three or four upbeat rockers. And then we playing Drunk And Stone to slow it down a bit. And then back to the rockers."
How do you view the music scene in Newport? Is there a community?
"In all honesty the music scene in Newport is poor. There is not a lot going on and there aren't many venues to play at, especially since TJ's closed its doors. There are a lot of solo artists but not many bands around either. I have always found it hard to find band members, which is why I am a solo artist. It was never my plan to do it on my own but that is the only way I could get out there and play. Cardiff has got a great music scene going on though, there are some great bands coming out of Cardiff."
What venues or locations would you like to play?
"I have got a gig in Tramshed in Cardiff coming up on Thursday 20th September which I am looking forward. I have always wanted to play there. It would just be great to get on tour when the next single comes out. To play to as many people in different cities all over the UK."
Tell me about what you want to achieve in the future?
"I am hoping to get a tour of the UK on the go as a result of the release of Like A Fever around October and November time. Then see where that takes me."

Interview Jack Perrett Newport Singer-Songwriter Small Bands


My notes on my new novel have reached 12 pages and 6,500 words. I have come up with a focal point to build my story around. The more I think about it, the more convoluted the story becomes. I think it's time to start writing!
I seem to have also discovered my main writing genre, despite the fact that there are other genres I would like to write in. The book I originally planned to write next was adult fiction with a little bit of magic and fantasy thrown in. It was going to be dark, and in many ways, devious. I still really want to write that book. However, it seems to make more sense in this moment to maintain the momentum I have built with Valley of the Bees and stick with future-fantastic dystopia.
My new novel has topped 3,500 words of notes as I freewrite and brainstorm my way into an outline. I had a moment today when a sudden realization about what my novel is really about struck me. A shiver ran down my spine as I realized the possible implications of the totally subversive idea that emerged from the murky depths of my subconscious mind.
"This is big," I thought.
Not literally, but I was thinking it.
New novel worries: How do you know when an idea is worth #writing?
As I run down the final stretch of publishing Valley of the Bees, I am itching to get started on my next novel. I don't want to waste all of this momentum I have built while writing my last novel. After all, gathering and maintaining momentum seems to be half the battle of writing!
My first problem was what to write. Luckily, I had plenty of ideas. I just couldn't seem to choose one. I was ready to write one novel one day and a completely different story the next. When I finally settled on an idea that held my attention for more than a couple of days, I thought the battle had been won. A vibrant story world has taken shape in my mind, and my main cast of characters is coming to life.
This is my writing notebook for the semester.
I was going to write a Springboard line, but I couldn't find a line that appealed to me, so I'm just going to freewrite. Except, it's hard to freewrite when you know there is a good chance that you might have to read it aloud to your classmates. The filter is automatically switched to "on," so it almost defeats the purpose of freewriting. To me, freewriting is all about giving that inner censor a break and getting to your creative side. It's hard to be creative with the little voice inside your head criticizing your every word.
In a recent blog post on writing villains, The Write Practice's Joe Bunting says that in every story, "there is always only one internal villain… whether it is fear, lust for power, or control." This, of course, got me to thinking about my own protagonist in one of my current works in progress. I decided to do a freewrite on this topic and share it with you.
My freewrite: Who is M's internal villain?
She just wants to go somewhere and lead an adventure. She doesn't seem to care where she goes, which allows her to be led by evil people to places that she doesn't want to be. She is so afraid of being ordinary and being stuck where she is that she jumps at any opportunity to be someplace and someone different.
My protagonist could use a little Katy Perry in her.
Write Your Novel this Summer: It's time for our first check in!
Well, it has officially been one full week since the start of our summer writing challenge. I plan to check in once a week on Fridays throughout the entire summer. Since I really haven't accomplished anything yet, this week I will simply report on my starting point.
I started the summer writing challenge with a total of 65,128 words written. That's about 240 double-spaced, Times New Roman, 12 pt font pages.
Can you write a Story A Day in the month of May?
Each week, I ask my Written Communication students to spend about 15 minutes freewriting on a specific topic. At the beginning of the semester, I asked them to each submit several freewrite ideas for us to use throughout the semester. Once in a while, I will sit down and do the activity with them. When I do, I always end up with an interesting piece of writing I likely would not have otherwise written.
