Logic aka Cigol
Written by Michelle Adabra
Hailing from Brixton; Logic aka Cigol has been causing a stir in underground circles for some time now. However unlike some of his South London counterparts, Logic's music paints an alternative picture. His music for the most part is positive; he combines gritty story telling, reflective life observations with a heartfelt message. He describes himself as a speaker- a spokesperson, possibly for a disenfranchised generation or maybe just for himself.
Either way, Logic is hoping to brake down some barriers with his latest offering 'The first stage of a Gaberlunzie' and if you don't know what that means don't worry, the logical one is about to break it down to Britishhiphop.co.uk...
So how long have you been rapping for?
Logic aka Cigol: About six years, been writing for about ten though.
When did you discover that you had a way with words?
Logic aka Cigol: Boy... probably from when I started spitting, I was hesitant at first I wont lie.
Why were you hesitant?
Logic aka Cigol: I just needed a confidence boost.
Your rhymes can be quite social and political, what inspires your music and lyrics?
Logic aka Cigol: Everything, my life, my family and the world around me.
Your from Brixton which you rep proudly. Do you think your area can define the type of music you make?
Logic aka Cigol: Of course, your environment moulds you as a person. You learn from where you live and this is exactly what should be in a true rappers music. Even if you live in Cornwall on a farm milking cows all your life, if that is what you put in your lyrics, then you're a real rapper.
What are your thoughts on the UK 'urban' scene at the moment?
Logic aka Cigol: Well... for a start the word 'URBAN' doesn't really do it for me. Its blatant and simple what the reason is behind it and I don't agree with splitting up our music, and labelling it so its 'nicer' for marketing purposes... moving on though. The UK Music scene is moving in a positive direction from what I can see. I've always said, from when Channel U first started playing any old wallys, that over the years the industry would filter out the half hearts, and leave the thorough breds and that's kind of in effect right now... even though a lot of wallys are still out there.
So do you think there is space in the UK 'urban' market as it stands right now for an mc like you?
Logic aka Cigol: I think the industry needs a spokesman like me to set boundaries and raise the bar and that's one thing that a lot of artists who make it don't do. To me, they get known, and get lazy.
So tell us about 'The first stage of a Gaberlunzie', what inspired the album title? What were the motivations for the tracks?
Logic aka Cigol: Well, the Gaberlunzie is a project or a journey i'm on at the moment. In total I made about 80 tracks for the album which is split into 2 parts: 'the first stage' which is out now and 'the last stage' which is due for release later next year.
...and the title?
Logic aka Cigol: The term 'Gaberlunzie' is something for you people (the readers) to research. Filter bullshit from facts and once you find the meaning, you will be able to tell how I use it as a metaphor to explain my journey so far.
What artists have inspired or influenced your music?
Logic aka Cigol: Nas, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Ghost face, Common etc. Most conscious rappers have helped me along.
What UK artists are raising the bar for you?
Logic aka Cigol: Well no one really at the moment is really doing it for me... there's a lot of talent, but as for as raising the bar - I think most are just playing safe and maintaining.
Is there a message you are trying to convey via your music, for example with tracks like, I Have A Dream?
Logic aka Cigol: Stay positive and pray days change is the overall message but I don't need to preach goodness because we all know what's good. Even the ones that do bad know what is good. It's all about people choosing right, my music is my thoughts so you will hear me say exactly this.
You don't seem to concentrate your music on the stereotypical hip hop subject matter, Such as guns, hoes, money etc- is that a conscious choice?
Logic aka Cigol: Not really. In a way I suppose it is but whatever I write has to be real to me and my life. My life isn't all about those things so you won't hear me always talking about them.
So what's next for logic? Where can we go to see you perform?
Logic aka Cigol: I got a couple of shows coming in November in Liverpool. Hit my myspace to stay up to date.
Any future collaborations coming?
Logic aka Cigol: Yeah of course, but if I told you, it would take the sting out of the track!
Finally where can we go to cop that album?
Logic aka Cigol: www.myspace.com/chosenlogic. I have no distribution right now but it's coming, then it will be everywhere like 50 Cent.

Donald Trump Goes To the Wrong Alamo in Metaphor for His Clown-Shoes Presidency
Guess who forgot the Alamo.
By Chelsea SteinerJan 12th, 2021, 2:54 pm
In the midst of his violent attempted coup on the Capitol building and his refusal to take responsibility for the chaos he has wrought, it's important to remember one thing about Donald Trump and the people who surround him: they are extremely stupid. This unparalleled ignorance has been demonstrated in countless examples, with my personal favorite being the now infamous Four Seasons Total Landscaping press conference.
Now, desperate to escape the bad press and pending impeachment, Trump is making his first public appearance since last week's rally by visiting a section of completed border wall in Alamo, Texas. In choosing the Alamo, Trump and his cronies are clearly invoking the history of the Battle of the Alamo, where Mexican troops stormed and reclaimed the Alamo Mission.
The historic battle has long been lionized as America's last stand, thanks to folk songs and films lauding folk heroes like Davy Crockett and John Bowie who defended the mission. The actual politics around the siege are, like most U.S. history, a lot more nuanced and steeped in the fantasy of white American exceptionalism.
Clearly, Trump and his sycophants view themselves as the last bastion of white America and have co-opted the Alamo imagery for their own purposes. But being Team Trump, they completely bungled their message by going to the wrong Alamo. Trump and company are headed to the city of Alamo, Texas. The actual Alamo Mission, however, is located in San Antonio, TX. Great work, everyone.
Frankly, I'm surprised they're not holding the event at an Alamo car rental kiosk. Also, it turns out that no one told the city of Alamo that Trump would be arriving, forcing them to hastily put out this message:
OMG-no one in the Trump administration has notified the City of Alamo about the president's intended visit and they have received no details regarding his itinerary. 👀 pic.twitter.com/q7of9ZstwD
— Amee Vanderpool (@girlsreallyrule) January 12, 2021
Many took to social media to dunk on Trump for his ignorance and incompetency, as well as the continual self-owns of his inner circle. I guess it's true what they say: those who ignore history are doomed to be laughingstocks on Twitter.
Trump visiting Alamo, Texas and not The Alamo which is several hundred miles away has pure Four Seasons Total Landscaping energy. https://t.co/fcuJSOmXtS

Trump visits THE ALAMO today in TEXAS.
Mary Trump: Someone told him symbolism was good, he knows nothing of history, to make a stand, they didn't tell him how it ENDS. It's a "Prescription" if you will, to followers, like his incindiery Jan 6 speech.https://t.co/tnWSeeMWcw

Hi there! Just dropping in to show you another way to use your textures.
* once the word cloud is positionned, I like to try Filter>Poster Edges (reducing opacity) to see if it produces a pleasing effect - if it doesn't add to the image, simply click "Undo"
Thanks Bonnie. I had just heard of Wordle from Terrie over at Creative Explorer when she saw my Tagxedo.com art. I'm going to check this out!
Bonnie, these are so gorgeous. I use Wordle often, and also Image Chef, where you can fill shapes with text.
This is a fabulous idea! I'll try it out during my lunch break.
love it! thank you . . .
Great idea. Will have to think of some words to put one together.
That's so much fun and sounds easy enough. Thanks for the link and idea.
Well, thanks to you, Bonnie, I learned something new today. I'd never heard of "Wordle". I guess it works like a girdle for words, squeezing them into a predefined space/shape. Fun!
I haven't been able to download your last couple of textures, which is sad as they are such a pleasure to use. Is there an alternative to 4shared.com please??
Bonnie, this is absolutely fantastic!!!
Bonnie this looks like so much fun and something I am going to try out. Have had such a wild week that right now can't think of any words, so will have to have a recovery day as I am speechless right now. Thanks so much for sharing this great idea!!! and also for the wonderful texture to try out!!!


Important Warranty Information Regarding Television Format Viewing Standard screen format televisions (4:3, the aspect ratio of the screen width to height) are primarily designed to view standard format full-motion video. The images displayed on them should primarily be in the standard 4:3 ratio format and constantly moving. Displaying stationary graphics and images on screen, such as the dark top and bottom letterbox bars (wide screen pictures), should be limited to no more than 15% of the total television viewing per week. Wide screen format televisions (16:9, the aspect ratio of the screen width to height) are primarily designed to view wide screen format full-motion video. The images displayed on them should primarily be in the wide screen 16:9 ratio format, or expanded to fill the screen if your model offers this feature, and constantly moving. Displaying stationary graphics and images on screen, such as the dark side-bars on non-expanded standard format television video and programming, should be limited to no more than 15% of the total television viewing per week. Additionally, viewing other stationary images and text such as stock market reports, video game displays, station logos, web sites or computer graphics and patterns, should be limited as described above for all televisions. Displaying any stationary images that exceed the above guidelines can cause uneven aging of picture tubes (CRTs) that leave subtle, but permanent burned-in ghost images in the television picture. To avoid this, vary the programming and images, and primarily display full screen moving images, not stationary patterns or dark bars. On television models that offer picture sizing features, use these controls to view the different formats as a full screen picture. Be careful in the selection and duration of television formats used for viewing. Uneven CRT aging as a result of format selection and use, as well as other burned-in images, is not covered by your Samsung limited warranty.

The Dangers Of E-Cigarettes In Teens
Numbers don't lie. According to recent studies, the use of e-cigarettes in teenagers has tripled in recent years, making them more popular among teens than traditional cigarettes. What these teens don't know, however, is that nicotine use in teen brains can harm development.
How does nicotine affect the teenage brain?
According to the National Institute of Drug Abuse (https://www.drugabuse.gov/), brains are made up of billions of nerve cells. They communicate by releasing chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. Each neurotransmitter is like a key that fits into a special "lock," called a receptor, located on the surface of nerve cells. When a neurotransmitter finds its receptor, it activates the receptor's nerve cell.
The nicotine molecule is shaped like a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine. Acetylcholine and its receptors are involved in many functions, including muscle movement, breathing, heart rate, learning, and memory. They also cause the release of other neurotransmitters and hormones that affect your mood, appetite, memory, and more. When nicotine gets into the brain, it attaches to acetylcholine receptors and mimics the actions of acetylcholine.
Nicotine also activates areas of the brain that are involved in producing feelings of pleasure and reward. Recently, scientists discovered that nicotine raises the levels of a neurotransmitter called dopamine in the parts of the brain that produce feelings of pleasure and reward. Dopamine, which is sometimes called the pleasure molecule, is the same neurotransmitter that is involved in addictions to other drugs such as cocaine and heroin. Researchers now believe that this change in dopamine may play a key role in all addictions. This may help explain why it is so hard for people to stop smoking.
Parents: It's up to you to educate your children on the negative effects of nicotine and to set a good example for them. Don't we want our children to live happy and healthy lives?

A very nervous mum and dad had their eyes glued to the TV on Saturday as they watched their son's final attempt at an Olympic medal in Pyeongchang.
Twenty-year-old Carlos Garcia Knight was the centre of attention in the room in Christchurch, which was full of friends and family.
But his second jump was one that would seal his fate on the Olympic stage. He crashed out in the first two runs of the day in the big air final, knocking himself out of medal contention.
Heading into the final, he had been the top qualifier.
"[We're] a little bit gutted but super proud," his mum, Jackie Garcia Knight, told Newshub.
"He will be gutted he didn't manage to do what he wanted to do, but I think he will be feeling very well too because he qualified top and showed what he can do."
The small room at his father's Christchurch restaurant was crammed with nervous friends and family watching back home.
"I usually send a text each day telling him he's got to get gold," his grandmother told Newshub.
It was a tight-knit group who came close to watching the Canterbury snowboarder become an Olympic champion.

Black and Indigenous protesters are treated differently than the 'convoy' because of Canada's ongoing racism
Participants of the freedom convey have been facing minimal police and state interference. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Nathan Denette
Audra Diptée, Carleton University
Since the beginning of the supposed "freedom convoy" in Ottawa on Jan. 28, there have been complaints about the failure of the police and government to protect its citizens from verbal harassment, noise pollution and, in some cases, hate speech. Experts have connected the convoy to white supremacist ideologies.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called a national state of emergency on Feb. 14, invoking the Emergencies Act for the first time in Canadian history. Ontario Premier Doug Ford called a provincial state of emergency on Feb. 11. However, the convoy had grown for days before these actions were taken.
The convoy protest began as a statement against vaccination requirements for truck drivers crossing the border between Canada and the United States. But trucker unions have distanced themselves from the convoy and said that 90 per cent of their members are vaccinated.
Two questions immediately come to mind. Why did it take so long for police and governments to protect Ottawa residents and businesses from reportedly volatile protestors? And if the convoy was organized by Black and Indigenous groups, would the response by both the police and government have been more severe?
The Canadian historian David Austin has explored the politics of race and protest in his book Fear of a Black Nation. Given his analysis of police responses to Black protest in Montreal during the 1960s, it is clear that the failure of the police to protect the residents of Ottawa by controlling this protest earlier is a part of the legacy of colonialism in Canada.
Protest and Black Lives Matter
Putting these events in the larger context and history of social protests for equity, and recognition of rights by racialized groups in Canada, these concerns have some legitimacy.
In contrast to the tolerance the convoy was given, the Canadian state via its police forces has demonstrated a low tolerance to Black protests in the fight for equity and justice. https://www.youtube.com/embed/N5QMvYHC-GU?wmode=transparent&start=0
For example, in 2016, on the very first day of a peaceful demonstration in Toronto, participants of the Black Lives Movement were beaten and gassed by the police. Four years later, in Ottawa, a protest at a key intersection advocating for Black and Indigenous lives resulted in 12 people being charged and the protests being removed within three days.
The response of city police departments across the country to the Black Lives Movement leaves little doubt about how these colonial underpinnings shape the operation of government institutions even today.
In his book The Skin We're In, Toronto journalist Desmond Cole said: the Canadian state "works exactly as it was designed to."
He goes on to explain that state institutions, such as the police, are a product of a white supremacist ideology informed by white European colonial thinking and practice. This starts, of course, with the theft of land from Indigenous peoples.
A long history of Black protest
The pattern of using state infrastructure and the law to regulate and police Black people in Canada goes as far back as the 17th century.
Up until the 19th century, there were white people on Canadian soil who had the legal right to own the bodies of Black people. This was written into the law so that enslaved people were denied all rights – including the right to live.
Even back then, people of African descent were participating in acts of resistance that were precursors to the Black Lives Matter protests of the 21st century.
In her extensive research on Upper Canada, historian Afua Cooper has shown how Black people living under slavery resisted the unjust laws that kept them oppressed. Sometimes they protested their enslavement through legal challenges in the court system. Other times, they openly rebelled against the system that denied them their humanity.
A shared and common story told by Canadians is that Canada was a place of refuge for enslaved Black people fleeing the United States. Cooper's research validates these notions, but she also shows something else.
She shows that some of the enslaved in Upper Canada escaped to parts of the United States that had already prohibited slavery, or were in the process of passing legislation. These were places such as Michigan, Ohio and New York. Therefore, a little told story is how Black people escaped slavery in Upper Canada to find freedom south of the border.
Policing Black people
The racism that justified the existence of slavery in Upper and Lower Canada found new forms of expression after abolition — not just in its laws and policies, but in the attitudes of its populace.
What made the systems of inequity particularly insidious in the Canadian context, is that many forms of discrimination existed in practice but not in law.
For example, when Black Nova Scotian Viola Desmond refused to leave the whites-only area of a cinema in 1946, she was not fighting against a particular racist law. She was fighting against racial segregation as accepted Canadian practice.
First Nations Mahlikah Awe:ri along with thousands of demonstrators stands up against the racists attitudes institutionalized across various Canadian systems during the Black Lives Matter protest in Toronto in 2020. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Nathan Denette
Similarly, when Black and Indigenous people protest today, they are not doing so in opposition to any explicitly racist laws. They are protesting the racist attitudes that inform accepted Canadian practice which has been institutionalized into the systems of policing, the courts and education.
The right to protest
It is these historically accepted Canadian practices that have guaranteed participants in the "freedom convoy" minimal police and state interference, as they assume the right to occupy public space while displaying racist symbols and simultaneously claiming to fight for freedom.
On Sunday, the Ottawa mayor's office announced that it "reached an agreement" with the organizers of the convoy to relocate some of trucks, but that the protest continued.
This is in sharp contrast to protests organized by racialized peoples. What is the way forward? https://www.youtube.com/embed/gEVN71isjns?wmode=transparent&start=13
The first step must be a recognition and admission that racist and discriminatory practices have been institutionalized — even if they are not explicitly stated.
The second step requires developing specific strategies and actionable steps that will address the colonial practice of violence against racialized people by the state and its supporting institutions such as the police.
Finally, there must be harsh repercussions for those acting on behalf of the state who support illegal protests and violate the right of racialized Canadians participating in organized protests in the fight for equity and justice.

The thing about going to a restaurant to have breakfast, is that seventy per cent of the time you could make it better yourself (and regularly do).
Yoghurt, granola and fruit? Err, just about got that mastered thanks. Bacon and egg sandwich? Well, is it ever truly satisfying more than five metres from the frying pan the filling was cooked in? Avocado on toast? Seriously, you need someone to scoop that for you?
… So don't settle for bog standard.
We want, at the very least: homemade granola; outstanding yoghurt; seasonal or otherwise remarkable quality fruit and/or compote; incredible, meaty, fatty, juicy, flavourful sausages; first class (and perfectly cooked) bacon; and, on most occasions, some sort of effort that lifts it beyond domestic – an unusual twist, or simply food that we'd never make for ourselves.
Of course on most occasions we head out for breakfast or brunch it's to meet friends or colleagues. Needs must. Just don't assume you're going to have to eat through gritted teeth. Aim for one of the following instead.
Koya Bar – on Frith Street, Soho. There's nowhere more calming or zen. Pull up to the udon noodle counter with a book, your emails or a friend, and leave sated, clear headed and ready for the day. For me it's the Japanese breakfast of grilled fish, rice, miso and pickles that does the trick, plus a pot of Japanese tea. But if you fancy English breakfast in noodle form, or Koya Bar's version of kedgeree, then definitely fill your boots.
Nopi -if you're in the Soho or Oxford Street area, Yotam Ottolenghi's Nopi (on Warwick Street) is a strong breakfast option. Stylish room mixes with a properly tempting menu – a first class shakshuka (obviously), corn and polenta cakes with avocado and eggs, coconut milk black rice with mango and banana. That sort of thing.
The Wolseley – the grand dame of London breakfasts (A.A.Gill even wrote a whole book about it). The menu is as big and busy and the place itself, but my eyes are always drawn to eggs Arnold Bennett, kippers or haggis and eggs. If your tastes are a little sweeter in the morning, their bircher and Viennoisserie are not to be sniffed at.
45 Jermyn Street – a similarly classic and classy vibe to The Wolseley, Fortnum and Mason's restaurant covers old and new favourites – so should suit both Welsh rarebit chasers and avocado fans alike. Less clattery than the Wolseley, though, so if you prefer your mornings hushed head here.
Honey & Co. – srlsly m8, take a look at their 'Big Breakfast' menu and tell me which of the egg options you're going to choose. Because I can never narrow it down. If you've not got time to sit at the cosy Warren Street restaurant, then grab one of the ridiculously fine baked goods to go.
Caravan – for a decent attempt at an Antipodean style breakfast / brunch, you shouldn't look much further than Caravan on Granary Square. Think quinoa and buckwheat bowls with steamed greens, egg and miso; jalapeño corn bread; a multitude of eggs; and avocado, chilli, lemon and olive oil. There's a smaller version on the corner of Exmouth Market, and a larger beast opening in Bankside soon.
Dishoom – the bacon and egg naan roll is without doubt in the top three of London breakfast items. Though, if I'm really hungry and of strong constitution, a plate of keema per edu is also a fairly remarkable and unique start to the day (spicy chicken and chicken liver keema, fried eggs, crisp chips, bread). Dishoom have totally nailed the breakfast 'twist' I'm looking for. It also helps that their venues are so beautifully and cleverly decked out. The Granary Square site vies with Redchurch Street in Shoreditch as my favourite. See also locations in Carnaby Street and Covent Garden.
Granger & Co. – With loads of natural light, rose gold, pink walls, 70's-brown seating and marble tables, Granger & Co. gets your day off to a good start even before you see the breakfast menu. Which is vast, innovative and tempting (almost too much choice). Multiple fruit and grain bowls are supplemented by delicious looking baked goods options; 'classic' Australian brunch items like sweetcorn fritters with bacon; and larger plates bulked with ancient grains, seeds, and middle eastern pastes and spices. It's good. Whether you're on your way to somewhere, or in need of a mutually convenient destination. There are two other sites in Clerkenwell and Notting Hill.
Duck and Waffle – all breakfast basis are covered, including numerous sweet and savoury waffles (and covered with quality, style and panache). But the cherry on the muffin / hollandaise on the egg is the view from the 40th floor across London. Suits both business and pleasure, though see if you can book a window seat to avoid table jealousy (this 24/7 restaurant is always rammed). Just don't blame me or them if it's a cloudy or foggy day.
Hawksmoor Guildhall – for two: "Smoked bacon chop, sausages, (made with pork, beef, & mutton), black pudding, short-rib bubble & squeak, grilled bone marrow, trotter baked beans, fried eggs, grilled mushrooms, roast tomatoes, HP gravy, unlimited toast". Unless you work in insurance and need something to line your stomach for that 11am pint and 12pm clock-off, you should probably book 4 hours in a conference room and take a recovery nap when you get into work. Hawksmoor's is one heck of a breakfast.
Morito Hackney Road – quite possibly my favourite breakfast option right now (October 2016). Morito's wonderful Hackney outpost got even better when it launched its morning menu a few weeks ago. Everything is utterly delectable – though Moroccan flat breads and seasonal compotes, eggs with yoghurt and sage, and sausage and spinach laced scrambled eggs stand out. Twists, turns and flavour – everything you want from a restaurant breakfast.
Pavilion Cafe Victoria Park – the classic egg, bacon, sausage is pretty good, as is the lakeside park setting, but for me the reason to head here are the Sri Lankan breakfast options – string hoppers, egg hoppers, dal, potato curry. Unique and lush.
St John Bread and Wine – on the edge of Spitalfields Market, SJBW deals breakfast from 8am-12pm. Porridge and prunes, devilled kidneys on toast, and the ultimate bacon sandwich are the menu items I oscillate between. I suspect you could request a Fernet Branca, Dr Henderson or Poire William, should you really need a steadying.
Esters – the only problem with this Stoke Newington café is it's too small. The menu varies, though you'll probably find house Bircher muesli, toast, and poached eggs with superb herb relishes, grilled chorizo etc. I'm mostly excited by the rogue, ever-changing middle of menu option – things like smoked anchovy toast served with creme fraiche, elderberry capers, radish, fennel and a soft boiled egg.
Chinese Laundry – This "casual dinning room inspired by 80s Chinese family life and food" on Upper Street is a little bit different to, well, any place else in London. Visit from 10am on weekends and get stuck into bacon and scallion pancakes and awesome dumpling topped omelettes. Unusual and very satisfying.
The Good Egg – As you would expect given the name, The Good Egg caters for the local weekend brunch market very well, with multiple sweet breads, innovative babka, challah and pita options, buckets of labneh and an egg or two.
Black Axe Mangal – sneaking on to the list for its 11am to 3pm weekend brunch. Masses of flavour on game changing flatbreads. Hangover be gone.
M1lk – nowhere in London does breakfast better. There, I've called it. M1lk in Balham show that breakfast dishes don't have to be an afterthought; it's possible to innovate and impress as chefs strive to at lunch and dinner. Their instagram feed containing top-shots of frankly ridiculous pancake combinations constantly makes me dribble over my coffee at home. Take a look. More impressively, the actual, physical morning meals I've had there have never disappointed either – even taking into account the hour-long cycle to get there. Website's crap though.
Salon – the Brixton Market Row restaurant get it right too. Even if you just stopped by for the house banana bread and homemade nutella, or Brick House sourdough and the same coffee, you'd be doing well. But their own granola, seasonal fruit and yoghurt is as good as anywhere; ditto scrambled eggs and 'nduja on toast; roast field mushroom, pickled walnut and cow's curd; avo with smoked pig's cheek lardons … I could go on. With most things under £6.5, it's either underpriced or very tempting to go for a 2-3 course breakfast. Only 10:30 onwards on weekends, mind.
Bababoom – over on Battersea Rise, this new 'Charcoal Kebab Kitchen' offers a very strong breakfast at the weekend. There's grapefruit, honeycomb and nutella supported eggy bread, harissa scrambled eggs … but the full Bababoom is what pulls me in: lamb merguez, date glazed bacon, za'atar tomatoes, eggs, harissa and labneh. Sold.
Arabica – when around Borough Market in the morning, I have to admit to being partial to a Little Bread Pedlar almond croissant and filter coffee (Kenyan) from Monmouth. But if a more convivial, sit-down experience is required, then consider Arabica's Middle Eastern menu. I like the Turkish eggs and cardamom infused coffee.
Pear Tree Café – on the edge of Battersea Park's boating lake, Pear Tree Café serves both weekday breakfast and weekend brunch. I like that they've taken just a little step beyond the obvious – so smashed avocado and feta on toast comes with wood sorrel, pickled cucumbers, za'atar and chilli; the porridge is made of six grains and topped with Jersey butter, honey and apple; granola is homemade and interesting; the yoghurt on baked eggs is spiked with preserved lemon… and so on.
There's a Granger & Co. on Westbourne Grove. Busy.
And, um, dunno. Answers on a postcard (or in the comments below). NB. it has to be really good to get a mention.
The Providores in Marylebone is my favourite breakfast spot – their Turkish eggs with chilli butter, whipped yoghurt and charred sourdough is the stuff off dreams. Great selection of fresh pastries for those with a sweet tooth too.
Hey Leila. It's certainly better than average and was a real game changer when it opened (and for years after). Last time I went wasn't great (hence omission), but perhaps due a revisit.
I'd throw in Shotgun doing an interesting take on brunch on the weekends.
Ah – To be fair it's been a good while since I've visited too. Hope the standard hasn't dropped, would be such a shame!
Have you been to Beagle in Hoxton? Well worth a shout, and one of my favourite breakfasts/ brunches in London.
Hi Rachel. Great call, I've been but only dinner and lunch. Noticed it did breakfast when I passed other people foolishly queuing for the Breakfast Club nearby. I'll need to have breakfast there before adding, but I'm sure you're right.
Hi Nic. Don't think that took off.
ed, completely agree with the choices listed and pleased to say that we agree with each other. i like modern pantry and lantana. i initiated a breakfast club at work and have been through a fair share of places, narrowing down to the same as your list. i really need to get out m1lk again. pity it is such a schelp!
Hi Mehrunnisa – glad we agree! I like Modern Pantry and Lantana too – good options if just round the corner.
Brunch at The Petite Coree in *more* than *just* really good 🙂 Eggs with miso hollandaise and kimchi pancakes to start, hodduk for a sweet break and then the fried chicken bun to keep you going until lunch.

THE B.E.A.T. CENTER OPENS FOR BUSINESS
"The B.E.A.T. Center is the beginning of something great." – Jon Bon Jovi
Three non-profit partners today open the doors of The B.E.A.T. Center, a unique food and resource hub that will change lives in Ocean County, NJ
"Whether you need access to a food pantry, want to learn about health care benefits or social services, or even receive training through our culinary program, this is a place where everyone is welcome. It is in the true spirit of collaboration that we, the community benefit."
– Jon Bon Jovi, Chairman of the Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation
Toms River, NJ (May 10, 2016) – The FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties, Peoples Pantry (INSPIRE NJ) and Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation announced today the opening of The B.E.A.T. Center (Bringing Everyone All Together) – a place where families and individuals can access food, job training and resources to help end the cyclical causes of hunger in Ocean County.
This "one-stop shop" will serve as a FoodBank satellite location that includes a food distribution center, production kitchen for at-risk children in after school programs, culinary skills training program and resources such as SNAP (Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program also known as food stamps), healthcare and free tax preparation, as well as the permanent home of Peoples Pantry, a client-choice model food pantry and a second location of JBJ Soul Kitchen, a non-profit community restaurant where diners can pay for their meal by making a minimum donation of $10 or volunteering to work in the kitchen and restaurant.
"The B.E.A.T. Center functions like a 21st century town square where programs and services are brought together and where the community can gather to get help and give help," said FoodBank Executive Director, Carlos Rodriguez. "We know that there are 1 in 8 people in Ocean County who struggle with hunger. We support 134 feeding programs in Ocean County and the need for resources beyond food is critical. We aim to shorten the food lines by providing a variety of resources that lead to financial health and wellbeing. Having all of that under one roof is a game changer."
Ocean County is New Jersey's fastest growing county and was "ground zero" for Hurricane Sandy. According to FEMA, over 40,000 structures in the county were damaged or destroyed in the storm – 55% of the state's total. The creation of The B.E.A.T. Center is in response to the reality that today, more than three years after the storm, there are thousands of families who are still struggling to regain housing, financial stability and to overcome food insecurity—and they are turning to local agencies in record numbers for assistance.
"Of all of the lessons learned from Sandy, the most jarring one was how financially stretched our middle class neighbors are. This collaboration will allow us to continue our work and provide the services that are so desperately needed and deserved by this underserved demographic," said Patricia Donaghue, Executive Director of The Peoples Pantry (INSPIRE NJ).
Ocean County Hunger Facts:
1 in 5 Ocean County residents are low-income (200% of poverty) or poor (at or below poverty) – that's $15,000 for a family of 4.
71,300 residents, or 1 in 8 people in Ocean County receive food and benefits.
Seniors make up 21.4% of the population compared to the 14.1% statewide.
Nearly 13% of New Jersey's veterans live in Ocean County.
There are 134 feeding programs in Ocean County. Programs include Pantries, Mobile Sites, Soup Kitchens, Shelters, After School and Back Pack, Senior Food and others.
The impact of this collaboration is projected to provide $5 million in support to families in need in its first year. One of The B.E.A.T. Center's goals is to also establish a strong, visible presence in Ocean County that will raise hunger awareness, attract volunteers and advocates, and encourage food donations and financial support. The B.E.A.T. Center is being launched with initial philanthropic support from The David Tepper Foundation, and a generous grant from the OceanFirst Foundation.
"We are excited to be involved in the creation of the B.E.A.T. Center," said David Tepper, founder of the David Tepper Charitable Foundation, Inc. "This is a unique partnership and fresh approach to meeting the needs of those members of our community that are suffering economic hardship. The B.E.A.T. Center brings a combination of critical yet basic services under one roof and provides our citizens with a central location where they can get the help they need. It's a tremendous concept and we are confident that facilities like the B.E.A.T. Center can become a model to help families attain food security and financial stability."
The B.E.A.T. Center is now open to the public. It is located at 1769 Hooper Avenue, Toms River, NJ, and is accessible by public transportation. For more information and to learn how to help, please visit www.thebeatcenter.org.

About The Peoples Pantry (INSPIRE NJ)
Hurricane Sandy roared into Ocean County on October 29, 2012 with a fierce vengeance that destroyed homes, cars and lives. Residents were shocked at the devastation.
Since that day, the people of Ocean County have come together to help those whose lives and cherished possessions were destroyed by wind, waves and water. During the storm, and in its aftermath, Toms River Regional Schools provided shelters to assist people who were displaced. Many donations were accepted gratefully. The Peoples Pantry was born to get the donations that flooded the community into the hands of those who needed them most.
In December 2012, the Peoples Pantry was turned over to Executive Director Pat Donaghue. Since that time, Pat and her team at Inspire NJ have created a relief center that provides food and services to thousands of clients. The Peoples Pantry now has a Board of Trustees, a dedicated volunteer staff and has become the model for choice pantries. The Peoples Pantry was seeded in the storm and is rooted in Ocean County. For more information, please visit www.thepeoplespantry.org.
About the David Tepper Charitable Foundation

The Foundation and its founder, David Tepper, believe that it is important to give those affected by poverty a helping hand to overcome everyday obstacles and have long supported numerous New Jersey organizations with this mission. During the 2008 financial crises, the Foundation and Appaloosa provided substantial support and operational resources to the Community FoodBank of New Jersey and other essential organizations statewide to ensure they survived and were well-positioned to help those in need. This effort resulted in these critical institutions having the best infrastructure in the tri-state area, enabling them to respond quickly to the needs of New Jersey residents in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. The Foundation and Appaloosa continue to provide major support for these organizations.

v6 Talent Management is powered by Candidate.ID, the world's first talent pipeline software, used by world leading employers to build deep pipelines of engaged candidates for today's and tomorrow's hiring needs. Our unique ID.Score accurately measures a candidate's desire to work for an organisation in real time, enabling recruiters to improve the quality of their shortlists, while reducing costs and time to hire.
Talent pipelining – or as we like to call it, "relationship recruiting" – is building long-term professional relationships with passive talent for future opportunities. This means getting to know the talent landscape, the actual people, regardless of whether or not they are looking to make a career change immediately.
Developing a talent pipeline requires a shift from reactive recruiting to proactive recruiting. Your mindset should switch from recruiting to fill an open position to thinking about who your company will want and should hire in the future. Talent pipelining isn't a short term strategy and takes time to develop and nurture, but in the long term the benefits are worth the investment.


"I strongly recommend Brett Ridgeway as a hammer dulcimer teacher. When Brett first suggested that I try it out, my first thought was that I couldn't because I had no musical ability or aptitude whatsoever. He encouraged and challenged me to try and I'm so glad I did. Brett has been a wonderful teacher. His methods of teaching had me playing songs right off the bat. His teaching practices are very clear and understandable, as are his CD lessons. He really makes it easy (even for someone with no musical background!). He is patient with questions, slows down and repeats things when you need him to and does not make you feel like a beginner. I have not yet been playing a year but I have quite a few songs and hymns that I can play successfully."
"Thank you so much for conducting the dulcimer workshop last weekend at Touchstone. I learned so much. You are a fantastic musician who knows how to communicate your love of music to others. You made us all feel at ease and gave us the feeling that anyone can learn music. You certainly impart much information in a weekend and send us home with a desire to practice and learn all that we can. For all those who might be reading this and wondering if they should try to learn this instrument, take a class from Brett and you will be very glad you did."
"Professional and personable teaching method has enabled me to ease into the next level of playing, adding embellishments, which in turn has inspired me to practice even more! Brett, you are such a good communicator. I'm looking forward to another round of quality materials! The Band Club is a unique opportunity and we are blessed to have such an accomplished musician as our teacher! Mr. Ridgeway creates an atmosphere that is supportive and fun. His amiable personality puts the students at ease and his style of teaching instills confidence and brings out the best in everyone. He sincerely cares about individual progress as well as the cohesion of the band as a whole."
"Brett's enthusiasm and love for music fueled me to not only pick the guitar back up, but also learn two new instruments – the mountain dulcimer and the banjo. I have thoroughly enjoyed our group classes as well as the rare one on one lesson that I've received from him. Every week he is just as excited to teach as we are to learn. His style of teaching is very flexible and creative. He is very knowledgeable, yet open to input from students, which may help his creative flow continue to flourish. I would recommend Brett as an instructor for people of any age looking to find their joy through music. We're never too old too learn and absolutely never too old to have fun doing it. Brett has been a wonderful teacher."
"My lessons with Brett exceeded my expectations. From the very first song Brett played for me at my first lesson, I knew I had the right teacher. Brett is an accomplished musician and knows how to bring out the beauty, and excitement, in a song. As a teacher, Brett created an environment that made me feel comfortable and confident about my playing and my progression as a student. Brett is also patient and has tailored his instruction to my particular goals. Because of this, I have rapidly improved my technique, increased my versatility, and my list of songs! Would I recommend Brett Ridgeway? You bet! I recently traveled one and a half hours, one way, in a snowstorm, to make my evening lesson. I love my instrument and love my lessons!"
"If you are considering lessons with Brett Ridgeway, don't do it unless you are looking for a teacher who can adapt his teaching style to match the student's learning style, is patient and not condescending. I have been taking hammer dulcimer lessons with Brett for 6 months and am amazed at the number of songs I have learned already. He balances the lessons between teaching how to just play a song, how to care for your instrument and other playing techniques that allow even a beginner to play with others. A number of times when I would come for a lesson somewhat discouraged at myself, and he will help boost my confidence by teaching me something new. I would highly recommend him for music lessons."

Soglin and Resnick Debate Madison Issues
Posted on March 19, 2015 by jaynecoster | Leave a comment
–submitted by Kay Schwichtenberg; photos by Valerie Johnson
With the general election on April 7, the Rotary Club of Madison was given a special view of the candidates and the issues for the Madison mayoral election. The format was a debate with each candidate given the topics when they arrived at the meeting. Both candidates were given a question and time to respond. Short rebuttals were allowed.
Paul Soglin is a longtime Madison resident and has served as mayor 1973-79, 1989-97 and 2011 to present. He lives in the Hoyt Park neighborhood with his wife Sara, and has three daughters.
Scott Resnick is the COO and co-founder of Hardin Design and Development, and is serving his second term on Madison's City Council, most recently serving as President Pro Tempore. He lives downtown with his wife, Kelly.
Question 1: Madison is in the midst of a downtown building boom. Are you concerned about the rapid increase in density? What about high-rise developments such as The Hub on Gilman and Frances Streets? What about historic preservation? How much is too much?
Soglin cited the tight housing vacancy rates that were driving up prices and sprawl from four years ago and said the new city plan addressed those issues and encouraged the construction that is currently underway. Preserving State Street's image that Madisonians know, protecting historic districts and design are critical features of how Soglin said the city should manage its growth.
Resnick, who represents the campus district, wants to keep the downtown area vital and affordable for those who are starting careers and life in Madison. He promotes having a downtown area that is safe and welcoming to all.
Question 2: On one hand growth is the long-term lifeblood of any economy. On the other hand, we hear of cities such as Austin, Texas, which looked a lot like Madison 40 years ago, that now wonder whether such substantial growth may have been a mistake.
Resnick said economic growth is about jobs. To get them, he believes the city needs to create an environment that encourages entrepreneurs and fosters new business development. He believes that Madison has the resources to make that commitment. He wants the city to be a community that supports strong innovation where there is economic growth for all.
Soglin answered that Austin's problems were caused by a lack of planning. However, Madison and the mayor's office have worked to rewrite its downtown and zoning plans, which will help manage sensible growth. He touted his willingness to make tough decisions, such as supporting the controversial Judge Doyle Square which he sees as a strong source of job creation.
Question 3: By one reckoning, the share of Madison people living in poverty has increased 50% during the past decade. Seventy-five percent of African American families are below the poverty level. It appears that what we're doing to reduce poverty is not working.
Soglin strongly disagreed with the veracity of the data in the question. Emphasizing that poverty in Madison is not at an acceptable level, he says the current 2013 data shows a reduction from 75% to 58% for African American poverty in Madison. He believes that Madison is closing all of the gaps and outpacing the rest of Wisconsin and the U.S.
Resnick says that the solutions to poverty are education, safe housing, strong transportation and equitable forms of financing. Investments must be made in early childhood education, affordable child care and Internet and computer literacy and access.
Question 4: There is a lot of criticism of the City about race equity with regard to arrests, incarceration and treatment by the police, particularly with respect to our African American and Hispanic communities. Do we have a law-enforcement race-equity problem?
Resnick said that we "have issues of trust throughout city government" and that the court system cannot solve this issue. We need jobs and equity.
Soglin believes that as we create success in schools and employment, we will 'end the classroom-to-prison' pipeline. He insists that we respect the police departments. He said the Madison Police Department is not racist, and focus should not be on that department as representing all of the ills of society.
Question 5: Our Madison lakes are a sad reflection of what they once were. What can the City do to substantially improve them?
Resnick believes that we should not be the only one at the table citing that we should be in partnerships with experts that address the run-off issues. Only broad-scale collaboration will solve challenges facing the lakes.
Soglin believes that we need comprehensive solutions that require collaboration with the farmer, and local, county and federal governments. He cited the $35 million that is being spent with the Madison Sanitation district to filter out phosphorus that is making its way into the watershed.
Question 6: In 1980, Ronald Reagan gave us all a laugh when he said that he wouldn't politically exploit Walter Mondale's youth. Mr. Resnick, some must wonder if you are too inexperienced to lead City Hall. Mr. Soglin, Madison's challenges have not diminished on your watch, in four years you will be the same age as Reagan when that question was asked.
Soglin said "age has nothing to do with the election." He has been called gray, bland and tired to everyone's laughter. Government can't do it all but he will not shy away from the tough decisions and is not afraid to offend when it is in the best interest of the city and it citizens.
Resnick said he has the experience to be mayor, and pointed to his knowledge of technology, innovation and job creation based on his personal business experience. He also cited his leadership positions in the City Council as valuable experience. Those are the leadership qualities that he brings to the table. He said we can do a lot when we all work together.
Resnick believes that we must make investments in the city that will make the city a great place to live 40 years from now. He said the city must work to ensure that all the city's voices are heard.
Soglin said the city must spend more effort to address poverty and equity, and in building the city's economy, which will facilitate progress in those areas. In applying the city's limited financial resources to those areas, Soglin said we need to make inspired decisions on resourcing' that will require clever collaboration.

So, Rotarians……it is time to go to vote.
We would like to thank Madison City Channel for videotaping our meeting this week. You can watch it on the WEB.

Q: How to input text into the first responder programatically in jailbroken iOS? In my app, I need to input specified text into the first responder, I have no idea about that, I think first I should get the focused control, which may be UITextField, UITextView or something else defined by the developers.But how can I get the focused controls?Particularly I want to do that in a tweak for jailbroken iPhone.
Or maybe my train of thought is totally wrong, maybe I should send some IOHIDEvents to do that?
Thank you!
