The comments of the folks who are writing me are in italics, with my comments following and then a "Strategies and Tactics" section after each of my comments.
This is my 2nd round of response and reply with a recently former Catholic named Phil. The prior exchange is chronicled in issue #1 which is archived on the "Newsletter" page at biblechristiansociety.com.
Catholics and Protestants have much in common, but many significant things not in common. The beliefs have been argued about for centuries and it led to some wars. You write well in that you again got me wondering "Am I sure of what I believe?" But after some thought and research, my answer to myself is "Yes". I could answer your questions, but again they are carefully worded to get the answer you want. Meanwhile, you seem to have some weak areas. For example: My question about priests being single and celibate: I do not see how Matthew 19:12 is an answer. 1 Cor 7:32-35 and Mark 10:28 give you some credibility, but are not as clear as 1 Timothy 3:2.
This is going to be real quick, because I have to run to the store and help get dinner ready, but I will send out a more detailed email to you sometime this week. But let me tell you something…you sound like you're frustrated with Catholics. Why? Because you asked them questions and they couldn't give you answers. Well, unfortunately, there are millions of folks out there who call themselves Catholic who do a very poor job of teaching folks what the Church actually teaches. It's unfortunate, but it's a fact. That situation is changing, but we've got a lot of work to do.
However, just because this or that Catholic, doesn't know or can't properly explain what the Church teaches, does not mean the Catholic Church is wrong, it means that there are plenty of folks who don't take their Faith seriously. But, and I don't mean this to be ugly, so I hope you won't take it that way, I'm frustrated with folks like you. Why? Because they come to me and tell me Catholics don't teach what's in the Bible, then when I start to show them that what Catholics teach is indeed in the Bible…when I start to give them answers to the questions they have, what do they do? They back away from the dialogue. They don't answer my questions.
There are no trick questions in what I asked you. Yes, they are carefully worded…they are carefully worded because you asked about specific things or made accusations about specific things. So, I carefully word my questions to you so as: 1) to stick to the topic; and 2) to stick to the Word of God. I asked you very simple, straightforward questions, relating to the Bible and your beliefs…and you either can't or won't answer them. I'm asking you about what it says in the Word of God, why won't you answer my questions?
Yet, you continue to say Catholics either can't or won't answer your questions…do you see the source of my frustration?
I found a book today called Fast Facts on False Teachings, 1994, by Ron Carlson. Chapter 14 is devoted to Catholicism and has great stuff. The Council of Trent in 1545 declared that Catholic tradition is equal in authority to scripture. That so strongly opposes what the bible clearly says. That is more than major red flag. That decision also opened the floodgates even more for Catholics to add whatever things they saw fit. I imagine you've heard the list so I won't repeat it except to say: Vatican II in the 1960's suddenly went from no meat on Fridays to saying it's OK. In Lyon in 1274, Catholics invented Purgatory.
These and many other examples are EXACTLY what Jesus warned us would happen from false teachers. He wasn't just talking about Mohammed and John Smith (or was it Joseph?). But Catholics continue to do what their parents and priests and popes say to do, and won't listen to anything else.
You wrote "Infallibility means the Pope, when teaching as the earthly head of the Church, to the entire Church, on matters of faith and morals, will be prevented from teaching error by the Holy Spirit." I agree with one thing: No, I don't know of any pastor who doesn't sin and who doesn't make mistakes. Where do you come up with this perfect man pope who cannot similarly make "teaching errors"? No meat on Friday, then meat on Friday is okay – somebody taught wrong. Yes, please tell me where the bible points to the doctrine of infallibility, and how only a Catholic pope qualifies for this club.
In my opinion, Catholics have "added to and taken away from", which God doesn't like (Revelation 22:18-19). Most Catholics don't even know it. I wrote a letter to men on a Catholic softball team and encouraged them to read the bible. The lack of interest was amazing. They don't care what God says; they just care what their priest says God says.
When I ask Catholics how to get to heaven, they don't even know (I'm not saying their answer is wrong, I'm saying they have no answer). The catechism says someone is only saved through the sacraments. That is not in the bible. Again, why is the bible not enough?
I'm sure you disagree; that's why I give up. Some Catholics are saved; some Protestants are not. I guess it boils down to how someone's relationship is with Christ. That's what your website should stress is reading the bible; not man-made stuff.
You said you were open to hearing another side of things…well, are you or aren't you? I think you've already decided that you don't want to be Catholic and you don't really want to talk to someone who might make you reconsider the claims of the Catholic Faith. For example, you say that "the catechism says someone is only saved through the sacraments. That is not in the Bible." Would you kindly read John 6:53-54? "Truly, truly I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink His blood, you have no life in you; he who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day." Let's see, eternal life by eating His flesh and drinking His blood. That's the Eucharist. You have eternal life through the Eucharist – isn't the Eucharist one of the sacraments? The catechism says it, the Bible says it.
Also, something else that frustrates me. I give you biblical backing for Catholic beliefs and you just say something like, "In my opinion, that's not good enough." Well, why is your interpretation of the Bible more valid than my interpretation? If you go by the Bible alone, and everyone has the right to pick up the Bible and read it for themselves to determine truth and error, then don't I have the same right?
I gave you valid biblical passages, which make perfect sense in light of those particular doctrines of Catholic teaching, and you just dismiss them out of hand. You don't tell me how or why I'm wrong, you just say that in your opinion I'm wrong. Forgive me for being a bit frustrated with that.
alone? If so, can you give me a single passage of the Bible that says that? You can't, because it doesn't. The only verse in the whole Bible where the words "faith" and "alone" appear together is James 2:24. Check it out, I think you'll find it very interesting. It says the exact opposite of what you believe.
Again, I have sent and will send emails responding point-by-point to what you say, so I would appreciate an email to respond point-by-point to what I asked you in my previous email. At least a quick email to answer my questions…there were only about six or seven or so. I think it's only fair, that if you accuse Catholics of not answering your questions, then shouldn't you answer questions when asked of you? If not, then please stop accusing others of doing that which you yourself are not willing to do.
Again, I say this not to be ugly or unruly or disrespectful or anything like that, I say it in all Christian charity (emails cannot accurately convey emotion, etc.), but you're accusing Catholics of certain things that I don't think are fair, and if you're not willing, or unable, to answer my questions, then I simply ask that you refrain from making these accusations. If you're worried that something I might say might make you re-consider leaving the Church, then shouldn't you be all the more eager to investigate what I have to say? And, if you can't answer my questions, from the Bible, shouldn't that also give you pause?
Strategies and Tactics: So, I responded in my first 3 paragraphs by saying that he basically has no room to talk about Catholics not answering his questions, when he does the exact same thing. And I pretty much repeated that theme throughout my response. If you allow folks to ignore your questions and they just keep firing new questions at you, you will rarely make any progress in a discussion. You have to call them on not answering your questions, and basically not answer any new questions until they've answered yours. If they won't (or can't) answer your questions, then the dialogue may end fairly quickly, but I can guarantee you that you've planted some seeds.
So, I get onto him about not answering my questions and about dismissing my answers to his questions with just a wave of his hand. And I actually answer for him a couple of the questions I asked him in my first email. Also, I give him biblical support for the Catholic teaching on Confession and I show him, in answer to my question about salvation, the one and only verse in the Bible where the words "faith" and "alone" are used together…James 2:24. Which says we are "NOT" saved (justified) by faith alone.
And then I close out the email by asking him to please respond, point-by-point, to the questions in my previous email. And, I make it a point to tell him that if he can't answer my questions, or if he's afraid to answer my questions, then maybe that should give him pause…and maybe he needs to look at the Church a little more closely. And notice, with one exception, I didn't respond to any of the new issues he brought up…Martin Luther, Catholics adding to the Bible, etc. I'll get to those after he answers my questions.
Okay, for all of those who were anxiously awaiting Phil's response to the questions I asked in the last newsletter, I hope you're not too disappointed. He didn't answer a single question…not one! But, if you're going to be discussing the Catholic Faith with others, you need to get used to that happening. This is quite common in almost every single exchange that I have with non-Catholic Christians. I answer their questions, they rarely answer mine. The fact that this happens, that you rarely get direct answers to your direct questions, should not, however, be a source of frustration. It should be a source of confidence. They have no answers to your questions, because to answer them consistently, logically, and in accord with God's Word, would poke big holes in their theology. Which is exactly why you need to learn how to ask questions.
Sometimes, probably most of the time, you're going to have to work to get someone to give answers to your questions. Again, don't let that discourage or frustrate you…let it embolden you. And, if you are asking one non-Catholic questions that are going unanswered, you might want to share your conversation with another non-Catholic and tell them you're trying to get answers to these questions, but this particular person either can't or won't give you answers, and could they help you get the answers? The more the merrier.
We'll see if Phil gives us any answers to the questions in the next go-round…stay tuned!

*** Part Eight ***
*** The Final Days ***
Mar. 3 At least one ad lists Mar. 3 as the projected American release date for the CIVILIAN album, although this could've possibly been moved up into late February. Many dislike this album, claiming the band had completely "sold out" by this point, but just as many others see it as a collection of quality rock songs, with freshness and vitality. The album cover was adapted from a photo included in a 1950's Life Magazine article about the growing suburban lifestyle and the increased number of commuters in post-war America.
May ? A 1991 band retrospective in Record World magazine lists the month of May for the British release of CIVILIAN. No other printed documentation has been found so far, though some unofficial sources have claimed it was released in February, April or even as late as June 13, although June seems the most unlikely. It does seem that this final album had very little promotion in England, if any, which could explain the difficulty in tracking down an exact release date.
Life Magazine photo used for CIVILIAN album cover early 1980
Finally, after being off the road for nearly two and a half years, Giant staged their CIVILIAN tour in May and June, though only in North America. In a spirit of budget consciousness, the band traveled in a camper between stops, as they made their way around the normal concert hall circuit, while also including a larger number of smaller club dates than they'd done in quite some time. They had originally hoped to offer another band the support slot for the entire tour, but their agent didn't like the idea, so they ended up using different support acts each night, often using local acts.
As was the case on their late 1977 MISSING PIECE tour, they again added quite a few new songs into their setlist. However, they kept things simpler this time, with less multi-instrumental interplay between the members than on previous tours. Gone were the violin, cello, vibraphone, saxophone and trumpet. Still present were the recorder quartet during The Advent of Panurge, the guitar quintet during Memories of Old Days, and the "shulberry" during Playing the Game. Their intention was to employ two different methods of stage presentation on this tour. They would keep things to a bare minimum at the smaller club dates while using a few interesting staging and lighting effects for the bigger theater dates, such as the projected hologram images believed first used in early 1977. It's said that these were used during Memories of Old Days and On Reflection. Supposedly, some sort of long-planned "video presentation" was also initially intended as part of the show, but the band was quoted in a 1980 press report as having run out of time to finish its preparation. They kept to this two-pronged plan at first, but a truck accident a week or so into the tour resulted in some equipment damage, necessitating all the shows, regardless of the type of venue, to be simplified from that point on.
TYPICAL SETLIST (Mid 1980)
All Through the Night/Free Hand
Memories of Old Days
Knots/Playing the Game - The song Knots was played in a heavier, considerably different arrangement than had been used previously.
Giant For a Day/Inside Out - The song Giant for a Day became the only song from their album of the same name to ever be performed live. During the song, Derek would wear the "giant mask" pictured on that album's cover.
It's Not Imagination
Underground - the new home for the 5-man drum bash. The song began with the "subway" recording heard on the new album, along with lighting effects said to make it look like a train arriving on stage.
For Nobody
The Advent of Panurge - played in the encore position. Yankee Doodle was back during the recorder quartet, this time doubled on the bass.
Number One - This was usually performed as a second encore.
The rock and roll drum lead-in of John Weathers before the opening song, Convenience, set the tone for the straight-ahead nature of Giant's 1980 gigs. However, these shows were certainly not devoid of creativity. Several new mini-medleys, combining songs from different albums, were put into the setlist. The full-length Excerpts from Octopus was retired, but Knots and The Advent of Panurge were still played individually.
Derek's habit of introducing himself as some other famous singer continued on this tour. At times, he even introduced himself and the whole band, by name, as the members of Yes, much to the audience's delight. On occasion, the group would even follow this with a couple measures of Yes' Siberian Khatru or Close to the Edge.
May 6 Stony Brook, New York Stony Brook University Gary's printed itinerary had the band doing their pre-tour rehearsals at this Long Island University and then playing a gig there on this date. However, the Rensselaer date the following night was the official start of the tour so, if a gig was played on May 6, it was just an unofficial tune-up show to prepare for the real tour. There's also a very real possibility that the pre-tour rehearsals ended up somewhere else in the general New York City area.
May 7 Rensselaer, New York Hullabaloo This was the tour's first official concert before a paying audience. It was held in a tiny club oddly located in the middle of a suburban residential area, and it was packed. Ray later claimed to like this particular venue. Beforehand, John was spotted carting crates of concession items into the loading area and when asked about it, he joked that Giant was a "family operation". During the soundcheck, Kerry was heard playing Cliff Richard's It's So Funny and he also began to have trouble with his keyboards. Progressive band 805 was the opening act and during their own brief soundcheck, their guitarist continually played the main riff from GG's All Through the Night. Then, during their actual opening set, Gary was seen watching them from backstage. After a longer than usual delay, Giant finally hit the stage, but Kerry's keyboard troubles had not cleared up and he was forced to play many of his parts on the Hammond organ. Being the very beginning of the tour, there were also a few other problems, such as band members forgetting some lyrics or missing the odd instrumental line, but they just looked at each other and laughed. GG was quite popular in this area of New York State and the crowd loved the show, the band seeming to enjoy it, as well. It's even been said that they played at least three encores, although this remains unconfirmed. Before playing one of these encores, Number One, Derek announced that that particular song was going to be released as a single within a few weeks. This did not happen. Before the show, John told a fan that the next gig was in Poughkeepsie, a name he struggled to pronounce. Actually John was mistaken, as the Poughkeepsie show was not set to happen until May 23, when it was ultimately canceled. A fan taped this Rensselaer show but, unfortunately, that tape is now presumed lost.
May 8 Syracuse, New York Stage East There is a tape of this concert at which 805 again played support. Ray claimed to like this venue also.
Syracuse - Derek's mask May 8, 1980
May 9 Montreal, Quebec Theatre St-Denis They did two shows, both sold out with a crowd of around 1,500 each. The second show, which was added by popular demand, began around midnight, but the ticket stub read 11:59 P.M. to maintain the integrity of the May 9 date. The opening act for both sets was a local acoustic pop/jazz/bossa nova singer named Diane Tell, who performed alone with just a classical guitar. These concerts took place at the height of a political upheaval in Quebec Province when many were seeking independence from the rest of Canada. During one of the shows, chants from the crowd arose, hoping to entice Derek to voice support for the cause, but he did not oblige. A very brief silent 8mm film clip of one of these shows exists, but which show was filmed is not known.

May 10 Toronto, Ontario Massey Hall About 2,500 people saw Nash the Slash, ex-violinist from the Canadian band FM, open this gig, although he later mistakenly recalled it having taken place in November, 1981. He said he was well-received and was called back for an encore.
Toronto ticket May 10, 1980
May 11 Rochester, New York Triangle Theater Although originally scheduled and advertised for Rochester's Auditorium Theater, this show was relocated at some point to at the smaller Triangle Theater nearby. Earlier purchased tickets were printed as reserved seating at the Auditorium, while later tickets were printed as general admission at the Triangle. 805 was slated to open this show, as well, although two fans who were present remember that a comedian may have been on the bill instead. Ray stated in a published interview in the city's Democrat and Chronicle that the band had fond memories of playing in Rochester.
Rochester - tickets with original and corrected venue May 11, 1980
May 12 Detroit, Michigan Harpo's Theatre This was an old movie theater converted into a club. The support act was a punk style band called Nikki and the Corvettes. The audience grew restless during their set, angering Nikki, their female lead singer. As she announced their final number, the crowd erupted into applause. Interestingly, even Nikki herself agreed that putting these two bands on the same bill was a bad idea.
Detroit May 12, 1980
May 13 Cleveland, Ohio Agora Ballroom Ray remembered this gig, for which a tape exists, as going quite well. There were equipment problems, causing a slight delay before All Through the Night. Local prog band Polyphony opened the gig. Kerry Minnear was impressed with this opening act and complimented them after their set, saying "nice one, that was."
Cleveland May 13, 1980
May 15 Buffalo, New York Kleinhan's Music Hall The band 805 opened the show, as they had in Rensselaer, Syracuse and Rochester, and the place was packed. A member of 805 has since recalled GG as being "humble and friendly and very funny in the dressing room". Sadly, it was after this gig that a truck carrying the neon "Giant's head" that often hung over the stage was involved in an accident and the head was destroyed for good. This head had already been damaged once or twice during the early 1977 tour. It was also used as a stage prop during the late 1977 tour. It was one of the few stage props used at the beginning of the 1980 tour, but it made its final appearance at this Buffalo show. According to the keyboard roadie who was driving at the time, the truck contained mostly instrumental gear which sustained no damage. Some of the casters on the equipment's flight cases were damaged, however, making the act of rolling things around during setup a bit more difficult for the crew each night but, thankfully, no one was hurt. Another truck carrying the lights and PA was not involved in the accident.
Buffalo - article about truck accident after concert May 15, 1980
May 16 Upper Darby, Pennsylvania Tower Theater This show was over an hour late, as Giant was late arriving at the venue, due to the truck accident after the previous night's show. Because of this, their set was somewhat abbreviated with a couple tunes omitted. The opening act did not even have time for a proper soundcheck. Determining exactly who occupied this opening slot on the bill has proved quite challenging. On the very day of the show, the Philadelphia Inquirer noted that GG was to be supported by a New Jersey band called Fandango. However, a couple witnesses are sure the openers were a Pittsburgh band called the Granati Brothers, a group discovered in 1977 by Ray and Derek Shulman, who also helped sign them, manage them and produce their first album. As it turns out, that doesn't appear to be correct, either. The opener was actually a New York City new wave band led by one Philip D'Arrow. One fan has clear memories of D'Arrow's presence, while D'Arrow's own guitarist has definitively confirmed this. D'Arrow had recently released an album called SUB-ZERO and he held up a copy of that record during his set, a fact recalled by two members of the audience. The crowd was not terribly interested in the opener, but not overly rude or hostile, either. Some particularly pro-Giant people continually yelled out "Gentle Giant! Gentle Giant!" throughout D'Arrow's time on stage, causing him to remark, jokingly, that "maybe we'll do some of their songs next." His guitarist does recall that D'Arrow was a last-minute substitute, possibly signed on the morning of the show, when the previously booked act canceled out. The confusion no doubt caused by that morning's truck accident, described in the above listing, may have contributed to this situation, and this could explain the erroneous mention of Fandango in that day's newspaper. D'Arrow and Fandango shared the same booking agency, so it would have been a simple matter for the agency to quickly contact D'Arrow to fill in. However, the fan recollections of the Granati Brothers' presence remain unexplained. A review of this show does not mention the opener but the reviewer was quite impressed by the drum bash during Underground, particularly its use of strobe lights. A tape exists of Giant's set.
May 17 New York, New York Palladium A crowd of 2,400 made this concert nearly a sellout. Preceding Giant was David Sancious who played piano and guitar with only a drummer on stage with him. During his set, he played the well-known theme song from the animated Peanuts Christmas TV special and received quite an ovation in the process. As it turned out, both acts received positive reviews in Variety. Although not listed on the marquee, there is a report that Robin Lane and the Chartbusters were also on the bill, opening the evening. The possibility has also been floated that the Granati Brothers, who were also rumored to be on the bill the previous night in Upper Darby, were at one time supposed to be on this Palladium bill too, but canceled. Always the clown, John Weathers used a huge number of green beer bottles to decorate the stage for this concert. Unfortunately, the stage lighting was said to be weak on this night. In fact, it's been said there were various technical problems all night long. On this tour, Ray showed his appreciation for the currently popular punk rock movement by dressing in black leather trousers contrasting nicely with his hi-top red sneakers. At this particular show, one fan in the audience recalls him knocking his knees together at the start of the show, reminiscent of Sid Vicious, the notorious bassist with the Sex Pistols.
New York's Palladium May 17, 1980
May 18 New Haven, Connecticut Toad's Place This concert was broadcast live over New Haven's WPLR radio station with a sizeable, though incomplete, portion of it officially released on the MEMORIES OF OLD DAYS compilation. There was a slight delay getting this show started, as the band had some trouble with their gear. In fact, Kerry seemed to have equipment problems of some sort throughout the evening. The band, playing in an area that seemed way too small, complained that it was quite hot on stage.
May 20 During the afternoon, before the two evening sets in Chicago listed below, the band visited Pierce Arrow Studio in nearby Evanston, Illinois, a state of the art facility, with the possibility in mind of considering its use for their potential next album. Band members described this studio visit in an interview held between sets that night. Ray again referred to this next planned album and the studio the band had found in a June 1980 interview. Of course, there ended up being no next album.
May 20 Chicago, Illinois Park West They did two shows, the second added at the last minute. The support act was the midwest band Faustus. GG had some sound problems during the early show, particularly with Derek's monitor. While being interviewed between the two shows, Ray claimed to not like this venue, saying it was too business-like and didn't lend itself to rock and roll. The venue was actually an old adult movie theater which had recently been refurbished and seated 750. Originally, Giant had scheduled this midwest date in the middle of their east coast dates because they expected to participate in some sort of big live satellite radio broadcast. However, this was postponed, so they headed back east the next night, expecting the broadcast to be rescheduled sometime within the following two weeks. As it turns out, though, no such satellite broadcast ever took place. Phil Collins of Genesis is believed to have been in the audience at one of these shows, quietly sneaking out afterwards. One report has some audience members booing the band during Betcha Thought We Couldn't Do It at one of the shows, as well.
Chicago May 20, 1980
May 22 Boston, Massachusetts Paradise Club They did two shows at this 400 seat club. The sets were similar although, at the early show, they left out the song Number One, traditionally done as a second encore on this tour. This could have been due to time constraints, as the club management had very little time to clear out the first crowd so the second crowd, waiting outside, could enter. The first show was packed and the second a little less so. One fan who was at both shows remembers the band being a bit tense during the early show and a bit more loose and relaxed, as well as louder, during the second show. There was tumultuous applause after the first show's encore, causing one anonymous audience member to remark that it was the greatest response he'd ever seen for a band at the Paradise. A tape of the early show definitely exists and while the late show was also recorded, that tape was stolen and is now missing. Opening for both performances was a local band called the Shane Champagne Band. Giant was also originally scheduled to appear in Boston on May 21, but it's very unlikely that they played both nights.
Boston ad May 22, 1980
May 23 Asbury Park, New Jersey Fast Lane This date was a last minute substitution. Originally, the group was set to play at the Mid-Hudson Civic Center in Poughkeepsie, New York but that concert was canceled a couple weeks before showtime. One fan who was planning to attend believes it was due to poor ticket sales. This club date in Asbury Park was quickly booked instead. Regina Richards and the Red Hots, a Brooklyn dance music act, opened the show on a very rainy night.
Ads for canceled Poughkeepsie show and replacement Asbury Park show May 23, 1980
May 24 Hempstead, New York Calderone Concert Hall broadcast live over New York City's WLIR radio station. Regina Richards and the Red Hots served as the opening act, as they had done at the Asbury Park gig. Their short set was not well received. Amazingly, one fan at the show claims to have been quite impressed when Ray rode his motorcycle onto the stage wearing a tight leather jacket. However, a couple other fans have confirmed that this rather unusual claim is false. During Memories of Old Days, Gary's acoustic guitar died, so he finished the song using an electric guitar. As the band began playing the song Giant For a Day, a fan tossed a poster at Derek on which he had painted the mask from the front cover of the album of the same name. Derek held it up during the tune and the poster remained on stage for the rest of the concert, first near the bass drum, then in front of the keyboards. During the encore, Derek dedicated the song Number One to the New York Islanders hockey team who had just won their league championship on that very day. While singing the song, he even wore an Islanders shirt presented to him before the number. On this particular occasion, Derek introduced himself as Ted Nugent.
Hempstead May 14, 1980
May 25 Owings Mills, Maryland Painters Mill Music Fair A tape exists of this concert which had Giant performing on a circular, rotating stage. The opening act was Face Dancer, the same band who opened for Giant in Bailey's Crossroads, Virginia on Nov. 10, 1977. At this 1980 show, it's known that Face Dancer, who were normally viewed as local home town heroes in Maryland, were very poorly received and left the stage in humiliation after just a few songs. For some reason, the tickets for this show listed the headliner in plural form as "Gentle Giants."
Owings Mills May 25, 1980
May 27 Virginia Beach, Virginia Rogues Gallery Robin Thompson, a very popular local beach music act, opened this club gig, which was originally scheduled for May 26. At first, the club was packed with 1,500 fans, but a number of them left before Giant came out. Unfortunately, those that remained were reportedly quite noisy during GG's performance. When Gary first walked onstage, he took a long, leisurely sip from a glass of wine setting on his amplifier next to a few beers, then the band started its first song. During Giant for a Day, Derek did not need to wear his own mask, as an audience member gave him one. After the show, Derek autographed the mask for its owner. A tape of this concert is rumored to exist.
May 28 Charleston, West Virginia a suspect date
May 29 Atlanta, Georgia Agora There was no suppotrt act and the sound in the hall was reported to be quite good this evening. The show was broadcast live as it happened over Atlanta's WKLS radio station. On the broadcast, the band came across very loose and relaxed. While presenting the members of the group, Derek referred to himself as Jimmy Carter who, prior to his stint as U.S. President, worked right in Atlanta as Governor of the state of Georgia. The University of Georgia's student newspaper, the Red and Black, advertised this gig for a few weeks prior to the show but in each issue, printed very disparaging remarks about the band which did nothing to positively promote the concert. Phrases used included "icky progressive rock", "formerly interesting" and "touring behind a limpid album". Their final notice stated "being gentle is one thing, but there's no excuse for being comatose".
Atlanta concert listing May 29, 1980
May 31 Gainesville, Florida Great Southern Music Hall There may not have been a support act on this evening. Towards the end of the show, a number of people in the crowd began throwing marijuana cigarettes onto the stage. One fan in the front row then handed them to Ray, who placed them on a drum.
June 1 Miami, Florida Gusman Cultural Center Interestingly, Derek introduced the song Knots to the crowd as a "psychedelic" song. One fan claims Giant looked ill during this concert, even remembering John Weathers repeatedly throwing up into a bucket on stage during the show. As it turns out, the fan was correct. The band had eaten some bad burgers beforehand, jokingly described by Derek in a backstage press interview after the gig, as "Kentucky Fried Rat". This also explains why Derek frequently left the stage when he was not singing. The food poisoning hit the players when the opening act, a group called Hoochie, took the stage, and continued through all of Giant's set. Gary recalls this difficult gig, but says they still managed to put on a good show, even though they played without their own lighting and sound rig which was, unfortunately, on its way to Houston, the site of the following night's show.

June 3 Houston, Texas Palace A San Antonio band called Heyoka opened the show. This Houston show may have been originally scheduled for June 2, but clear evidence exists that it, in fact, took place on June 3. The Palace was originally known as the Agora Ballroom, but had recently changed its name prior to this concert.

June 4 Dallas, Texas Bijou Showcase Club Opening the show was a band called Lightning. This small club was so crowded that the local fire marshal came and threatened to cancel the show if some people did not leave. It appears that security personnel at the club used a rather nasty method for thinning out the crowd. The show was late getting started and as waiting fans left to use the bathroom, they were not allowed back in and were forced to leave the premises, even though they had valid ticket stubs. Others presumably took their seats. Quite a crowd eventually gathered in the parking lot and scuffled with police officers, but to no avail. It's rumored that some of these forcibly ejected paying customers later filed a lawsuit against the Bijou. The show finally did get underway about a half hour late.

June 5 Austin, Texas Armadillo World Headquarters A fan recalls this as being yet another well-received Austin show, with about 2,500 in attendance. It's possible the band changed their normal song order and opened with Playing the Game. Opening the evening was Mark Hallman, former member of the band Navarro and future Austin record producer.
June 6 Norman, Oklahoma Boomer Theater This was an old movie theater that only seated around 600. It has been described as "not having a bad seat in the house", but also offering less than adequate air conditioning. When Derek first spoke, he joked that the band would be playing selections from CLOSE TO THE EDGE, IN THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING and TRICK OF THE TAIL. Of course, they did no such thing. It is not confirmed, but the opening act may have been Billy Squier, later to become quite a successful 80's rocker.
June 8 Denver, Colorado Rainbow Music Hall The Rainbow was a converted movie theater with a capacity of about 1,300, with Billboard reporting 958 in attendance at this general admission gig. Listen Up, the Denver audio company which had professionally recorded many of the rock concerts at local nightclub Ebbets Field earlier in the decade, began recording shows at the Rainbow after that venue closed in 1976. They recorded this show and Denver's KAZY radio station broadcast an edited version of it shortly after it ended, the broadcast starting at midnight on June 9. A funny moment happened during the broadcast when, before Memories of Old Days, the announcer started the tape at too slow of a speed, then had to adjust it. One fan at the show claimed the hall had terrible acoustics, though others have disputed that. Outside, it was a rainy, windy day and, partway through the gig, the ceiling over Kerry's head began to leak. The band also had problems with their stage lighting at the beginning of the show. They soldiered on, though, even handing out GIANT FOR A DAY masks to audience members. The opening act for this show was the Colorado reggae musician John Bayley.

June 9 Albuquerque, New Mexico KiMo Theatre An eyewitness reported that this show was canceled, due to too few tickets being sold. However, that has not been confirmed.

June 10 Tempe, Arizona Dooley's Dooley's was a chain of small clubs in the southwest US, this one seating no more than around 300 patrons. One of those present believes the band looked a bit tired on this evening.
June 11 Tucson, Arizona Dooley's The band played two shows on this evening. As publicity for these concerts, Tucson radio station KWFM played an ad featuring the subway train recording heard at the beginning of Underground, along with an announcer proclaiming that Gentle Giant was "rolling into town". The Tucson Dooley's was an old renovated church that was converted into a nightclub in 1977, before finally burning to the ground in 1983. Supposedly, it had also been used, at one time, as a fraternity house, due to its being adjacent to the University of Arizona campus. There was a wooden balcony, once a choir loft, around the interior of the club which extended quite a ways inwards, so that patrons in the front of the balcony appeared to be looking almost straight down onto the stage. Kerry is said to have appeared a bit apprehensive about the people watching from there. According to fan reports, the place was packed for these shows and the crowds were raucous but enthusiastic. Attendance at the early set is known to be around 250. There was not a musical act in the support slot. Instead, a juggler named Chris Bliss entertained the appreciative crowd with his juggling and his joke telling. Before finally correcting themselves, the Arizona Daily Star advertised an incorrect date of June 10, perhaps confusing this with the Dooley's gig in Tempe the night before. The promoter, Evening Star Productions, claimed to have lost money on nearly every Tucson concert it had organized since February, but did break even on the Giant shows.
Tucson - incorrect and corrected advertised dates June 11, 1980
June 13 West Hollywood, California The Roxy They did two sold-out shows on this, the first of three nights at this famous nightclub outside of Los Angeles. Comic juggler James Marcel, known for juggling chain saws, bowling balls and the like, served as the warm up act for both sets. An audience tape exists of Giant's set at what's believed to be the early show, though it's also believed that the Roxy's sound man recorded both shows from the house mixing desk. At this early show, the group got off at the very beginning of For Nobody and had to start again. An audience member in attendance at both shows recalls the crowds being quite unmoved by the band's newer material, with the exception of Inside Out, for some reason. During one of the shows, Derek threw his mask into the audience at one point and was saddened to see that no souvenir collector even bothered to pick it up for a while. At the sold out late show, Derek, who admitted to being drunk, had some trouble remembering his words during The Advent of Panurge. Gary, also drunk, lost one of his sticks during the drum bash. A fan in the crowd retrieved it and, since Gary apparently didn't have another stick, the fan reluctantly gave it back to him. As a thank you, Gary returned the stick to the fan after the song. According to the UCLA student newspaper The Daily Bruin, the sound was "lacking in clarity and too loud" on this evening.

June 14 West Hollywood, California The Roxy They did two more sold-out shows, again both supposedly recorded by the Roxy's sound man. An existing audience tape of the early show shows Derek teasing the crowd by referring to the venue as the Forum, a much larger Los Angeles hall. In addition, an audience tape of the late show is also known to exist. Juggler James Marcel again opened the shows. The Daily Bruin, which claimed the sound was sub-par on the previous night, stated in its review of this night's early show that GG now produced "some of the cleanest sound ever to emanate from the Roxy stage".
June 15 San Francisco, California Old Waldorf The band played two general admission shows upstairs at this club, which is believed to have held, at the most, 300 people. Originally, they only planned on one performance at 8:00 but it sold out so they added another show at 11:00. The opening act for both shows was comedian A. Whitney Brown, who received a mixed reaction from the crowd. This was originally scheduled as the final night of the tour. However, as the tour went along, things were reassessed and the band ended up adding one more night in West Hollywood. A fan at one of these San Francisco shows had the impression that the audience was divided, half cheering wildly for the older tunes and the other half mainly interested in the newer material. During the concert, an audience member up front yelled loudly to Derek, asking if he'd "rather be playing the Coliseum", possibly referring to a venue in nearby Oakland. Derek repeated the question and responded, "sure, of course". Gary recalls that near the end of the concert, a fan presented the band on stage with a giant replica of the "missing piece", the puzzle piece pictured on their 1977 album by the same name. A tape of one of this evening's shows has been rumored to exist, but the rumor is probably unfounded.
San Francisco ticket June 15, 1980
June 16 West Hollywood, California The Roxy They again did two sold-out shows, with juggler James Marcel opening. Both shows were added after the original tour schedule was set. As late as the end of May, the Los Angeles Times was advertising Roxy Giant shows only for June 13 and 14, with Tommy James slated to appear on June 16. However, the June 1 issue of that newspaper listed the amended schedule. As is befitting a final gig of a tour, it's known that many Gentle Giant masks, teeshirts and other memorabilia were tossed into the crowd towards the end of the late show. During this same show, the band held an awards ceremony of sorts, presenting their sound man with a food mixer painted gold and their lights man with a light bulb. Additionally, the band held a little sing-along during the "hey friends" section of The Advent of Panurge. This last light-hearted diversion was sadly edited out of the 1996 officially released LAST STEPS LIVE AT THE ROXY album. Again, the Roxy's sound man is said to have taped both shows. A different, totally separate soundboard recording of the late show, recorded by a roadie named Ritchie, was the tape made into the official live album which, interestingly, was released with the incorrect date of June 14. Richie's tape was a modified soundboard recording with one channel taped directly from the mixing desk and the other from an open mike. The two channels were then blended together to create the mono mix found on the live CD. In 2013, a large, though incomplete, chunk of this live CD was reissued as part of the MEMORIES OF OLD DAYS compilation album, thus further helping to preserve Gentle Giant's very last live performance.

* Valedictory *
Original plans called for a European leg of the CIVILIAN tour, including some festivals and television appearances. They even hoped to play two or three dates in the UK in August before coming back to the States in September to continue writing. However, none of this came to pass. After the 1980 American tour, Gentle Giant quietly broke up. Some of the members had simply grown tired of touring and the everyday struggles of keeping a band together. It appears that Derek and Kerry had actually planned on this being their final tour before the tour even began, having informed the others of their decision at a pre-tour band meeting in New York City. There were also discussions at one point about carrying on with a new lead singer and keyboard player. However, the exact nature of what happened remains very hazy. Unfortunately, contractual complications with the band's record label, Chrysalis, remained even after the band split. Finally, in 1983, Kerry recorded five demos and presented them to the label. These five songs, which now appear on the SCRAPING THE BARREL box set in both Kerry's original mixes and newly remixed versions, were not particularly what Chrysalis was looking for, so they signed off on them and the band was officially, legally finished.
Although a full-scale reunion seems highly unlikely, a few members of the band have stayed involved in the music business in some capacity. The most exciting development occurred in 2008 when Gary Green and Malcolm Mortimore, with the assistance of a few other seasoned musicians, played a gig together under the moniker of Rentle Giant, performing a number of Gentle Giant pieces. In 2009, with the addition of Kerry Minnear, this group morphed into Three Friends and played ten gigs together, after which Kerry left the group for personal reasons. However, Green and Mortimore plan to continue bringing Giant's music to grateful audiences into the future.
Even if none of them plays another note together from this point forward, Shulman, Shulman, Shulman, Minnear, Green, Weathers, Mortimore and Smith clearly left behind a remarkable legacy of work for all to enjoy, and historical and archival interest in the band is still very high today. There is no doubt that fans of sophisticated music will continue to be inspired, long into the future, by the music of that mythical beast from the past known as

[T]he comic-book fans are a savvy crowd and, if Hollywood gets it wrong, poor early word can spread like wildfire. Ever since the cult website Ain't It Cool News damned 1997's Batman & Robin with negative advance reviews, there's been a potency to the musings of netizens.
But a few years ago, some time after showrunners started quietly checking out catty TV blog TelevisionWithoutPity.com and some time before Comic-Con became the calendar's biggest corporate marketing destination, a funny thing happened: The second approach became primary.
On its face, this shouldn't be the case. A brand's cult following isn't a very large number, and it's also a group already inclined to like and spend money on a product, which by most marketing logic is exactly the group you should spend the fewest resources on.
The thinking, though, grew out of a crucial tastemaker argument — the idea that the movie and television business functions as a series of concentric circles, with the tastes of a relatively small group on the inside radiating to the larger — and more lucrative — circles outside it.
But a few years of experience have yielded enough anecdotes and data to suggest that the nerd-herd strategy might not matter as much as the hype has suggested.
The article offers a few main arguments against "the nerd-herd strategy." First, fans are too elusive to know how to really please them. Second, fans' favorite series don't always catch on with the mainstream, with one director suggesting that "the total number of people in the blog world is probably only a few hundred thousand, and as much as they might hate to hear it, for most movies that's not going to make the difference between a success and a failure." And third, movies that were successful with both fans and the mainstream tend to be held aloft as examples supporting the power of geeks, while new projects that meet with geek approval at Comic Con, only to flop when released into the wild, tend to get glossed over.
It's an interesting argument, so I encourage you to read both articles and chime in with your own thoughts. For now, I'd just like to note that I was a bit surprised the latter article didn't get into any of the "long tail" stuff about the most passionate niche being where most of your money might come from in the long run through DVD sales, licensing, and merchandising—a lesson taught to Hollywood by none other than Star Wars, a modern geek classic (you know, back before George Lucas went to the dark side). It's probably also worth noting that "the total number of people in the blog world" is several times larger than estimated above, according to even just a quick glance at the estimated stats of some major geek destinations online (which can number in the millions). Even if these geeks' opinions aren't filtering into the mainstream, there's still enough members in these groups to constitute some viable markets in themselves. And, as Church pointed out in a conversation about this, geeks may be able to hurt a project with negative reactions more than they can help a project that excites them (see above note of fear about repeating Schumacher's Batman debacle).
The thing that makes me crazy is that even though we now have an onerous copyright regime that has fenced off the public commons, everyone still insists on making money in the shortest time frame possible, ignoring the fact that they have a hundred-odd years to recoup their investment.
That's a good point. Somebody should quote you on that!
I better get paid if they do!

'When Calls the Heart' Returning to Hallmark in May, Erin Krakow Tells Fans in Video Message
Megan Elliott
Hearties can finally breathe easy. Hallmark has revealed when the popular period drama When Calls the Heart will return to TV.
Star Erin Krakow made the much-anticipated announcement in a special video message that aired on the Hallmark Channel on April 10. The show, which follows the lives of the residents of a small town in rural Canada in the early 20th century, has been on hiatus since cast member Lori Loughlin was indicted on fraud charges related to a college admissions scam in mid-March.
When Calls the Heart returns May 5
When Calls the Heart will return to TV with an all-new episode on Sunday, May 5 at 8/7c. That will be followed by a second new episode on Monday, May 6 at the same time. The show will resume its normal Sunday-night schedule on May 12. The last new episode of When Calls the Heart aired March 10.
"We can't wait to welcome you back to Hope Valley and share more all-new stories with you," Krakow says in the video, before sharing a sneak peek at the upcoming Loughlin-free episode, where viewers will meet a new mountie.
Krakow also teased another big When Calls the Heart announcement to come during the premiere of the new Hallmark Channel movie Bottled with Love, which airs Saturday, April 13 at 8/7c.
What happened to Loughlin's character?

Fans will have to tune in to find out exactly how When Calls the Heart has decided to deal with the loss of Loughin, who played Mayor Abigail Stanton. But sources told Entertainment Weekly that her character has been edited out of upcoming episodes.
Removing Loughlin from the show required some creative editing, EW.com reported, along with some reshoots. Those changes mean that there will only be six more episodes in this season, rather than the seven that were originally planned.
Some fans had speculated that Hallmark might hire someone to replace Loughlin as Abigail Stanton, but it sounds like a new actress won't be stepping into her shoes this season. (When Calls the Heart has not yet been renewed for Season 7.) An informal poll by TVLine found that people were overwhelmingly in favor of recasting the part of the mayor of Hope Valley.
The producer thanked fans for their support
#Hearties… I hope you all got to see @erinkrakow's beautiful statement today about the return of S6 of @WCTH_TV on @hallmarkchannel. Here is my two cents for you, as well! pic.twitter.com/XCOZrGHRpU
— Brian Bird (@brbird) April 10, 2019
After the announcement, executive producer Brian Bird thanked Hearties for their patience while the show retooled. "#Hearties, thanks for sticking with When Calls the Heart through this challenging time," he wrote in a message he shared on Twitter.
"Life throws us all painful curveballs, and the only way to survive is to walk right through them with courage, grace, a forgiving spirit, and most of all, hope," he added. "Your care and concern means the world to us, and the best way we can thank you is to encourage you the way you encourage us … keep your eyes on the horizon because … Hope always lives here."

Q: When trying to use Mockito to unit test sending email, I create a multipartemail object in the function, but the test fails, why? This is my unit testing code.
 public class StatsTest extends AbstractTestCase {
@Mock
//EmailInfo mockMetricsEmail = Mockito.mock(EmailInfo.class);
//EmailSenderImpl mockEmailSenderImpl = Mockito.mock(EmailSenderImpl.class);
private MultiPartEmail mockMultiPartEmail = Mockito.mock(HtmlEmail.class);

private static final String testEmailBody = "This is the test email body.";
private static final String testSender = "seemakur@amazon.com";
private static final String testRecipient = ("seemakur@amazon.com");
private static final String testEmailSubject = "subject";
private static final String testHostName = "seemakur.desktop.amazon.com";
private static final MultiPartEmail testHtmlEmail = new HtmlEmail();

EmailSenderImpl emailSenderImplObj = new EmailSenderImpl();
EmailInfo emailInfoObj = new EmailInfo(testEmailBody, testSender, testRecipient, testEmailSubject, testHostName, testHtmlEmail);

@Before
public void setUp() throws Throwable {
    super.setUp();
    MockitoAnnotations.initMocks(this); // will instantiate "mockMultiPartEmail"
    // instantiate our class under test
}

@Test(expected = EmailException.class)
public void testSendEmail() throws EmailException, IOException {

    MultiPartEmail testMultiPartEmail = Mockito.spy(new HtmlEmail());
    Mockito.doReturn(mockMultiPartEmail).when(emailInfoObj).getMultiPartEmail(); //stub(spy.getMultiPartEmail()).toReturn(mockMultiPartEmail);
    Mockito.when(mockMultiPartEmail.send()).thenThrow(new EmailException("Failed on multipartEmail.send(), hence could not send the email."));

    // when the method under test is called
    try {
        //testEmailSenderImplObj.sendHtmlTableAsEmail(testMetricsEmail);
        emailSenderImplObj.sendHtmlTableAsEmail(emailInfoObj); //inject mock & invoke what to test
        fail("Expecting EmailException");
    }catch(EmailException e){
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    Mockito.verify(mockMultiPartEmail).send();Mockito.doReturn(mockMultiPartEmail).when(emailInfoObj).getMultiPartEmail(); //stub(spy.getMultiPartEmail()).toReturn(mockMultiPartEmail);

}

   }

i have three classes associated with this email function:
firstly below is emailInfo data object
   @Data
   public class EmailInfo {
private String emailBody;
private String senderEmail;
private String receiversEmails;
private String emailSubject;
private String hostName;
    private MultiPartEmail multiPartEmail;

public EmailInfo(String emailBody, String senderEmail, String receiversEmails, String emailSubject, String hostName, MultiPartEmail multiPartEmail) {

    this.setEmailBody(emailBody);
    this.setSenderEmail(senderEmail);
    this.setReceiversEmails(receiversEmails);
    this.setEmailSubject(emailSubject);
    this.setHostName(hostName);
    this.setMultiPartEmail(multiPartEmail);
}

public String getSenderEmail() {
    return senderEmail;
}
public void setSenderEmail(String senderEmail) {
    this.senderEmail = senderEmail;
}

public String getEmailBody() {
    return emailBody;
}
public void setEmailBody(String emailBody) {
    this.emailBody = emailBody;
}

public String getReceiversEmails() {
    return receiversEmails;
}
public void setReceiversEmails(String receiversEmails2) {
    this.receiversEmails = receiversEmails2;
}

public String getEmailSubject() {
    return emailSubject;
}
public void setEmailSubject(String emailSubject) {
    this.emailSubject = emailSubject;
}

public String getHostName() {
    return hostName;
}
public void setHostName(String hostName) {
    this.hostName = hostName;
}

public MultiPartEmail getMultiPartEmail() {
    return multiPartEmail;
}

public void setMultiPartEmail(MultiPartEmail multiPartEmail) {
    this.multiPartEmail = multiPartEmail;
}

    }

second class: EmailSenderImpl.java
     public class EmailSenderImpl implements EmailSender{

     // public MultiPartEmail getEmail(){
     //     return multiPartEmail;
     // }
     //
     // public void setEmail(MultiPartEmail multiPartEmail){
     //     this.multiPartEmail = multiPartEmail;
     // }

    public void sendHtmlTableAsEmail(EmailInfo emailInfo)throws IOException, EmailException{
    MultiPartEmail multiPartEmail = new HtmlEmail();
    multiPartEmail.setHostName(emailInfo.getHostName());
    multiPartEmail.addTo(emailInfo.getReceiversEmails());
    multiPartEmail.setFrom(emailInfo.getSenderEmail());
    multiPartEmail.setSubject(emailInfo.getEmailSubject());
    multiPartEmail.setMsg((emailInfo.getEmailBody()).toString());
    multiPartEmail.send();
}

}
lastly the EMailSender.java interface.
     public interface EmailSender{
public abstract void sendHtmlTableAsEmail(EmailInfo emailInfo)throws IOException, EmailException;
     }

I reason I have so many classes for one simple function is because i cannot use static methods, and i have to separate "business logic" from "function logic." And I need to have interfaces, that is necessary. If there is a better way to organize this, please let me know.
Now when I run the unit test, it fails on the line: "Mockito.doReturn(mockMultiPartEmail).when(emailInfoObj).getMultiPartEmail(); //stub(spy.getMultiPartEmail()).toReturn(mockMultiPartEmail);
        ");"
the error reads: org.mockito.exceptions.misusing.NotAMockException

A: In your original code, your problem is that on this line
Mockito.doReturn(mockMultiPartEmail).when(emailInfoObj).getMultiPartEmail();

you are trying to stub the behaviour of the created with this line
EmailInfo emailInfoObj = new EmailInfo(testEmailBody, testSender, testRecipient, testEmailSubject, testHostName, testHtmlEmail);

But this is not a mock or a spy.  Mockito only lets you stub the behaviour of mocks and spies, not just arbitrary objects.
I can't tell whether you still have this issue after subsequent updates, as it's impossible to read code that's embedded in comments.

I've been in New York for just 24 hours and some how I've been lucky enough to share a room with a dozen of my ultra favorite style icons and some of the world's most renowned designers. Straight off the plane, Justin and I rushed to our hotel to get ready for Style Network's Style Awards, held at the prestigious Lincoln Center stage. I can't describe the feeling of walking the red carpet alongside the industries most glamorous. The show was a blast, but the after party was even better. After the show I was approached by the head of marketing for H&M who to my surprise is a big fan of my blog, (I was shocked and unbelievably honored) we totally hit it off and shared a limo to the after party, where we proceeded to practically shut the party down. The next day started with the BCBGMAXAZRIA runway show, where I was enamored with every piece. It's all about lace and leather for Spring 2013 so get excited ladies. After an amazing lunch, it was back to the hotel, the extra fabulous Yotel NYC, to get ready for Fashion Night Out. First up was the Piperlime store opening with Rachel Zoe and Olivia Palermo, followed by the QVC party with Nicole Richie and Jennifer Hudson. So far every moment has been truly unbelievable and I couldn't be more thankful. (Pinch me, please.) I can't wait to see what exciting things the next week holds. Be sure to follow the Fanpage for all the pictures. For a little fash fix, I've pulled some of my favorite outfits seen out and about in New York this week. Which look is your favorite?

A group of demonstrators also targeted the headquarters for Shell on Monday, spraying phrases such as "Shell knows" and "climate criminals" onto the front of the building. So far the police appear to be tolerating it, but the organisers say this is far from a one-day event.
Extinction Rebellion (XR), an environmentalist group responsible for causing scenes in the House of Commons earlier this month when semi-naked activists stripped off in Parliament as MPs tried to debate Brexit, claim they intend to occupy the roads for at least 72 hours. Extinction Rebellion have organised a nationwide week of action, they are calling for a full-scale Rebellion to demand decisive action from governments on climate change and ecological collapse.
These are central London landmarks protesters are targeting as part of efforts to demand the Government declares a climate emergency.
The activists are also planning road blocks at Marble Arch, Oxford...
'Today's protest by Extinction Rebellion has now concluded.
In 2017, he underwent a spinal fusion surgery, and was later arrested and charged with driving under the influence. President Barack Obama presented the Medal of Honor to pioneering black golfer Charlie Sifford in 2014.
The scientist said the group was calling on the United Kingdom government to fulfil three demands: to better inform the public about climate change, to make the country carbon neutral by 2025 and to create a citizens assembly model on environmental issues.
"They will be blocking five of the city's busiest and most iconic locations in a non-violent, peaceful act of rebellion where they invite people to join them for several days of creative, artist-led resistance". They have left us with no other option.
"We've got 12 years to act before there is irreversible damage to the environment and we start to see catastrophic changes".
Activists gathered at Hyde Park yesterday and were encouraged to camp there overnight before a march towards Piccadilly Circus today.
The Royal Parks said Extinction Rebellion had not asked for permission to begin their protests in Hyde Park and repeated camping is not allowed.
Furthermore, because the heart is made from the patient's own cells, there is a reduced chance that the transplant would fail. The Israeli team's findings were published on Monday in Advanced Science , a peer reviewed, open access journal.
DeBrusk and Krug will play tonight, but Clifton will be in the press box with Steven Kampfer taking his spot on the third pair. Athletes like Kadri are trained to play on the edge, and the game encourages a culture of retribution and violence.
Four other people were injured when the trailer was struck, Houston County Emergency Management Coordinator Roger Dickey said. Two more deaths have been blamed on the weekend storms that ravaged the South, bringing the death toll to at least eight.
Chhetri said the plane skidded off the runway, hitting a helicopter belonging to Manang Air. It is particularly busy in April as the spring mountain climbing season begins.
Manuela Schär , of Switzerland, has won the women's push rim race for her second time, finishing at an unofficial time of 1:34:19. But overnight thunderstorms moved on before the runners left Hopkinton; the sun even made an appearance about halfway through.
Folau reportedly informed them he would be seeking a code of conduct hearing, according to the Daily Telegraph . If Folau does not contest the notice of termination, he will be sacked by the Waratahs and Australia.
