A Great Day in Harlem: The Spirit Lives - 50 Years On
By IAN PATTERSON
One of only three women there—the other two being singer Maxine Sullivan and pianist/arranger Mary Lou Williams)—McPartland is front row, and whilst nearly all eyes are on Art Kane's camera, McPartland is locked in conversation with Williams, whom she remembers fondly:
"I couldn't be happier about being next to Mary Lou Williams—we were chatting away and I had (bassist) Oscar Pettiford on the other side, who was one of my favorites. He used to come and sit in at the Hickory House all the time."
Pittsburgh-born Mary Williams was a female jazz pioneer, working as pianist and arranger for Andy Kirk's Clouds of Joy whilst just eighteen years old. Later she arranged for such figures as Benny Goodman, Earl Hines, Dizzy Gillespie and McPartland herself. She was also an influence on Thelonious Monk and Bud Powell. "Oh yes," says McPartland, "they used to go to her house a lot and I guess she taught them a great deal—they went there all the time."
McPartland has her own thoughts as to why some musicians failed to show that day: "Well, of course Miles (Davis) probably thought: 'Oh, to hell with that, I'm not going.' I'm sure he didn't care about that a bit. But I'm surprised that Duke (Ellington) didn't go because a lot of his band members were there, like Sonny Greer and several of the brass players."
As for her husband, McPartland explains: "I tried to get Jimmy to go but I couldn't get him out of bed, which was a shame because he should have been in that wonderful picture. I was very proud to be in it, especially someone coming from England. I was very proud to be in it. There were a lot of people who didn't make it; I can think of a lot of people who should have been there."
One person who wasn't so sure about his place in the picture was drummer Eddie Locke: "What a wonderful day! What a great day!" Eddie Locke is not referring to that day fifty years ago, but to Barack Obama's election victory which coincided with this interview. "He's a decent person; I think he's going to help the whole world."
Back in 1958, Republican Dwight D. Eisenhower was President of the United States and Richard Nixon was vice-president. Less than three years previously, Rosa Parks had refused to give up her seat to a white passenger on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama. Only a year before Kane's picture, Eisenhower deployed the 101st Airborne Division to Little Rock, Arkansas to protect nine African-American children from the taunts, spitting and violence of white racists as they exercised their right to attend Little Rock Central High School. A black American president of the United States must have seemed like a distant dream back then, for as happily acknowledges: "Man, I couldn't have imagined it last year!"
Nor, as Locke explains, could he have imagined back in 1958 that he would go on to play with nearly all those assembled in the picture. "I really didn't belong in that picture at that time. At that time I hadn't played with nobody.
"I was there because of Jo Jones—he was my mentor, Papa Jo Jones. I met him when I first came to New York in '54 and I lived with him for two years. He was the one I learnt most from on the drums. I used to carry his drums, I was a gopher. I got coffee for him and all that kind of stuff. Papa Jo Jones was the drummer; he showed all those bebop drummers the way; all the drummers say the same thing about him. He changed the way the drum was played—the swing part.
"And this is how I happened to be there. He used to tell me: 'Meet me here,' and I was so in awe, and so afraid, that I never would ask him why. I was a respectful young man; you don't have kids that would do that now. He told me to meet me at this place; I didn't know where I was going. When I got there I knew who all those people were and I was in awe. I was just in awe. I knew who all those people were, and to get them all there at one time like that—unbelievable! I think everybody was surprised all those people turned up that morning, at that time, that early. Monk and all those guys like that? Even the magazine was surprised. It's an amazing picture."
Locke, now seventy eight, certainly earned the right to be in the picture over the years: "I played with almost everybody in that picture; Roy Eldridge, Coleman Hawkins, Henry 'Red' Allen, I played with all of them. Roy Eldridge was my greatest mentor—he taught me a lot about the drums. He was a drummer when he was young, not a lot of people know that.

Tratak means to gaze steadily without blinking the eyes. This is one of the premeditative tools which are performed with eyes. Hatha Yoga Pradipika defines it as one of the Shatkarmas.
Right alignment of the candle is critical to avoid any neck strain, back strain or any other kind of discomfort or distraction. Hence, place the candle at eye level and an arm's length or two to three feet away in front of you. The candle should be placed in such a way that the flame is at eye level when you sit on the floor.
Position the candle in such a way that you can get a clear image of the object and there is no double or blurred image during practice.
It is preferable that one does not use glasses during practice, as regular practice of candle gazing will help get rid of the dependence on spectacles in future. However, in case, it becomes absolutely necessary to use it then one should use that. An example – a short sighted person would need glasses for moon gazing.
You need a dark room to practice candle gazing. The room should be devoid of dirt, insects, any distracting sounds or smells. It should not be too airy as it is important that the candle flame be steady and not flicker at all.
Try not to blink your eyes or move your eyeballs. However, if it is a must then you must.
Again, move from outer tratak to inner tratak once you are done with the second round.
As the duration of practice increases, it becomes easier to get a clear picture of the after image immediately upon closing the eyes. This image is also visualized for a longer period of time.
Candle gazing is static tratak which works directly on developing concentration.
Relaxed eyes during the practice makes it easier to master tratak.
Tratak benefits not only the eyes, but a whole range of physiological and mental functions. It is therapeutic in cases of depression, insomnia, allergies, anxiety, postural problems, poor concentration and memory. It helps develop stronger will power.
The description from Gherand Samhita (I:53) indicates that the tratak is closely associated with the training of the nervous system. It reduces mental tension and unleashes some of the dormant potentials of the mind and prepares you for meditation. Regular practice of Tratak reduces the number of thoughts in one's mind, develops one- pointedness and, thereby, calms the mind. Regular practice of tratak facilitates practice of Shambhavi mudra, which leads to the process of Dharana.
Acting as a catharsis, Tratak is capable of releasing you of repressed or suppressed desires and emotions which might have had a firm hold on your sub conscience. It helps purify your mind off emotional baggage, brings calmness and lightness to your being and brings you a step closer to inner peace.
Tratak is one of the most highly recommended practices for insomniacs. It should be practiced before going to bed. Results could be experienced within a month of practice.
People with weak eyesight or weak eye muscles can greatly benefit with regular practice of Tratak.
Hypnotherapists need to practice tratak daily to excel in their field. The control they exert over their own mind with Tratak helps them associate with and calm their patients down.
It has been found that it helps neutralizing tendencies like anger, short temper, suspicion, irritation and resentment is done for one month. Anxiety is also controlled. Tratak is a very important practice to remove impurities or blockages in the neural network and to prepare the individual for meditation.
Do not repeat tratak more than thrice in one sitting.

Cowboys News: Free agents still on the market that could interest the Cowboys
Plus, why Andy Dalton chose the Cowboys
By David Howman@_DH44_ May 6, 2020, 4:00am CDT
Share All sharing options for: Cowboys News: Free agents still on the market that could interest the Cowboys
Should Dallas Cowboys Reunite DT Mike Daniels With HC Mike McCarthy? - Brian Martin, Inside the Star
With the draft completed and undrafted free agents mostly signed, the only real way to add talent now is through the remaining free agents on the market or a trade. And if the Cowboys want to continue to build their defensive tackle depth, they could turn to someone Mike McCarthy is pretty familiar with.
From 2012 to 2018, Mike Daniels bolstered the Green Bay Packers defensive line under the guidance of then HC Mike McCarthy. Things changed in 2019 though. Daniels would spend the season with the Detroit Lions, while McCarthy took a nearly year-long sabbatical away from the game altogether. Fast forward to present day, and it's Daniels who is looking for a job.
Daniels, who turns 31 today (May 5), is an eight year veteran who has 235 tackles and 30 sacks to his name, along with a Pro Bowl appearance in 2017. He may have only appeared in nine games with the Lions last season due to injuries, but I believe he still has plenty left in the tank. In fact, he still managed a respectable 70.1 grade from Pro Football Focus in his shortened 2019 season.
The Dallas Cowboys currently have Gerald McCoy (3-tech) and Dontari Poe (1-tech) penciled in as the starters on the interior their defensive line, but behind them things are far less clear. Trysten Hill – last year's second-round pick – and Neville Gallimore will likely duke it out to become McCoy's primary backup, but right now there's really no one on the current roster behind Poe.
Dallas Cowboys: A valuable free agent the team should sign - Anthony Penna Jr., The Landry Hat
There had been rumors that the Cowboys may look to upgrade their linebacker corps in the draft, but they ended up not selecting a single linebacker. With several interesting free agents still out there, Mike McCarthy could look to yet another player he has history with.
So, the Boys need to be prepared for when or if this may occur. And I'm a believer in Joe Thomas as he did get valuable reps over the course of last year. But there is one free-agent linebacker out there who can be very dynamic in new defensive coordinator Mike Nolan multiple scheme and who also has had experience playing under head coach Mike McCarthy. And that's Clay Matthews.
Under McCarthy and his 10-year stint with the Green Bay Packers, Matthews racked up 482 tackles, 83.5 sacks, 15 forced fumbles, and six interceptions. A hybrid linebacker who can play on or off-the-ball is something that can become of great value for this Dallas defense down the stretch.
Matthews is the type of player who can rotate to multiple positions, drop in coverage or rush the passer. He brings value inside the locker room as well with his leadership, experience, and, of course, talent.
I'm not saying Matthews should take the place of a starter in Dallas. But he would be a great insurance policy for the team's top three linebackers as he's a proven veteran who still has a lot left in the tank. Last season, Matthews racked up 37 total tackles, 8.0 sacks, three pass deflections, and two forced fumbles in 13 games for the Los Angeles Rams.
Giants claiming Cooper Rush off waivers isn't a surprise as Jason Garrett talked highly of QB with Cowboys - Jeff Kerr, CBS Sports
Jason Garrett may be just the offensive coordinator for the New York Giants, but that clearly hasn't stopped him from having influence in personnel decisions. Shortly after the Cowboys waived backup quarterback Cooper Rush, he reunited with his former head coach in the Big Apple.
Bringing Rush to New York shouldn't be surprising in the least with Garrett running the offense. When Cowboys franchise quarterback Dak Prescott was battling a shoulder injury in December of last season and his consecutive-starts streak appeared to be in jeopardy, Garrett had no issue giving Rush the start and trusting him to lead the Cowboys in a playoff race.
"There's a lot to like about Coop. He's one of those guys that came in as a free agent and basically just earned his way based on how he's played," Garrett said in Week 16 of last season with the Cowboys. "His approach is outstanding. He's a real pro in terms of his preparation. He's always ready for his opportunities and just handles situations well. He's a smart player. He's an instinctive player. He's a good decision maker. He's probably a better athlete and has a better arm than people give him credit for. He's just done a good job when he's gotten chances. We like him a lot."
A former undrafted free agent out of Central Michigan, Rush spent his first three seasons with the Cowboys. He has played just five games in the NFL and attempted just three passes, largely in part due to Prescott's availability every week. Rush has been the No. 2 quarterback in Dallas the past several seasons, but the Cowboys decided to upgrade at the position by signing Andy Dalton to a one-year deal to back up Prescott.
Andy Dalton had 'several options' before choosing Cowboys - Samantha Previte, New York Post
Andy Dalton has been a starting quarterback for all nine of his years in the NFL, so it was a little surprising to see him take a clear backup role in Dallas. But Dalton explained some of his reasons for choosing the Cowboys despite having other options.
With the future in mind, Dalton said coaching and the organization's caliber played a big role in his decision, which is all part of a "big-picture plan."
"I wanted to join a high-class organization team that's ready to win and be with Mike McCarthy — his history with quarterbacks — it gives me a chance to come to a new place, a chance to learn, to help Dak out any way I can and just to be an asset for this team," he said.
"For us to stay close to home… We already have a house here and not have to move, not have to figure out the whole logistics of that transition especially during a time like this when there's a lot of unknown with what's going to happen and when things are going to start up and all that stuff," Dalton said. "I think that was definitely part of it."
Will training camp return to Oxnard? Cowboys are working through unprecedented issues to make it happen - David Moore, Dallas Morning News
Training camp in Oxnard, California has become a staple for the Cowboys, as one of the few teams to not hold training camp at their own team facilities. But with the complications from coronavirus, it's unclear if the team will be able to show up this year.
The deadline to commit to holding camp in Oxnard has been pushed back to June to give the Cowboys more time. City officials have made it clear they are willing to accommodate whatever the Cowboys require — delaying the start of camp, altering its length or not allowing fans to watch practice — to keep their relationship intact.
"On our side, we will assure we will meet whatever needs they have regarding their safety,'' said Alex Nguyen, Oxnard's city manager. "A training camp that is not open to the public, that would make sense. Only a certain number of people attending, that would make sense.
"The fields we have and the hotel adjacent to it are completely conducive to a closed and secure compound. It can definitely work.
"We are waiting to hear."
Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys are at an impasse over nothing - Reid Hanson, Sports DFW
It seems to be a given that the Cowboys will eventually get a deal done with Dak Prescott, but unlike most other situations like this, the two sides aren't negotiating over price. Instead, the argument seems to have come down to the difference a single year makes.
So contrary to popular belief, it's not Dak's outrageous demands or selfishness or greed that's holding this up. It's the length of the deal. Rather than asking for more Dak's actually asking for less. Try that on for size, Dak haters.
Now before we throw him a parade and add him to the Christmas card list, let's be clear: this isn't about sacrifice or altruism. This is good business from Dak Prescott's camp. A short-term deal may offer less overall dollars, but if Dak continues to perform as he's been, he stands to make considerably more overall getting to the free agent market again as quickly as possible.
That's where the two parties are at the impasse.
Early predictions for Cowboys 55-man roster - Ben Grimaldi, Cowboys Wire
The Andy Dalton signing showed the Cowboys aren't done adding players to the roster, but it does seem to be set for the most part at this point. That means it's time to start predicting who will make the final roster and who won't.
Dak Prescott, Andy Dalton, Ben DiNucci
Dak Prescott will play for the Cowboys in 2020, forget any other noise. Dalton makes a perfect backup and DiNucci hopefully shows enough in preseason to stick.
Under former boss Jason Garrett the Cowboys have gone with just two quarterbacks recently, but Mike McCarthy likes to have a young QB to develop. Dallas could try to sneak him through final cuts and add him to the practice squad, but it's doubtful they'll temp fate. McCarthy will choose to keep him.

Conor Lamb vs. Rick Saccone Proves that People are Irrational
March 14, 2018 Libertas Leave a comment
I've mostly checked out of politics in the last year because I can't stand the hysteria ginned up by the media anymore. The special election in Pennsylvania is interesting, though. While still too close to call, it looks like the Democrat, Conor Lamb will eke out a win in a heavily Republican district (one which Donald Trump won by almost 2 to 1) against his Republican rival, Rick Saccone.
The usual suspects will call this a referendum on President Trump and a predictor for November. Certainly, it's not great news for the Republicans, but deeper, more ancient forces are at work here.
Longtime readers of The Masculine Epic will know that people almost never make decisions rationally. Emotion and primal instinct are what sell people on decisions. Logic only justifies them later. Rick Saccone vs. Conor Lamb is a good example of this truth.
The district is in western Pennsylvania, which is heavily Republican. So why is Rick Saccone, the Republican candidate, struggling so much? Simply put, Conor Lamb has him beat in pretty much everything that actually sells people on something. The ways people actually make those decisions when it comes to voting are explained in a neat 9 point list in Stumped.
In simpler terms, Conor Lamb has all the Stumped factors while Rick Saccone looks like doesn't have one.
First, let's have a side by side comparison:
Rick Saccone (left)/Conor Lamb (right)
Lamb is obviously younger and better looking than Saccone. Better looking people are liked more than worse looking people, and liking is one of the universal principles of influence.
Next, let's see a comparison of how they talk.
Conor Lamb has more charisma. He's not the most charismatic guy in the world, but it's not a chore to listen to him. Listening to Rick Saccone is a cure for insomnia.
Reputation matters too. Conor Lamb is a former marine and a prosecutor. Rick Saccone is a professional politician, which people hate nowadays.
Finally, we can look at social proof. Keep in mind, I haven't been paying too much attention to this thing, but Saccone has had issues raising money, right? That's a good sign that people lack confidence in him. He needed Trump to bring some excitement to his campaign.
As far as I know, Lamb has had no fundraising issues.
There's also an interesting twist in the race in that Conor Lamb essentially ran as a Republican even though he was a Democrat. He's basically a relict Blue Dog Democrat, which is a species that is almost extinct. That's what he says, anyway. His campaign rhetoric is a good way for him to remove doubts after the initial sale was made through the emotional factors I described above.
Running as a Republican while not being one was also a way for Conor Lamb to show empathy with the tribe and speak its language.
As a result of all of this, Conor Lamb currently leads Rick Saccone by a razor thin margin. Absentee ballots still need to be counted, but don't be surprised when Conor Lamb wins. It looks like he's persuaded just enough of the people that could be swayed to pull out a victory. It helped that "the resistance" is motivated because anger motivates better than happiness, and they have Trump to focus that anger on.
People are irrational. Persuasion matters. Policy doesn't.
To find out how to sell to people's emotions like Conor Lamb did, read Stumped.

My strongest desire has always been to inspire and uplift others. Throughout my life, I have been blessed and lucky to have the guidance and support of so many. Being able to pay that forward would make life fulfilling for me.
I often ask myself this question. It is something I think about constantly.
Almost everyone in my life has motivated me to go after this goal. From friends to co-workers and acquaintances. Upon meeting people, I'm often asked 'You enter Miss Jamaica yet?!' Finding the courage enter Miss Jamaica has been a long time coming for me.
In the context of unusual meaning 'out of my comfort zone', zip-lining is perhaps my most unusual experience. Most people are unaware that I'm afraid of heights, so conquering that fear was a big deal for me.
My proudest moment would probably be right now.. overcoming my fears and reservations to put myself out there for this experience. Applying for the opportunity to vie for the title of Miss Jamaica World 2017 is my proudest moment to date.


Data warehouses contain numerous software applications and thousands of objects that make those applications work. Many companies maintain multiple data warehouses depending on business requirements for example development, testing and production. Installing objects and keeping them synchronized across all environments can be a challenging task due to the sheer number of objects and complexity. Software objects stored in a Source Control system must be installed on target warehouse environments. Manual copy procedures are possible but very inefficient. Developers spend much time preparing installation and migration scripts that are prone to syntax errors. This paper proposes an Object Migration and Apply Tool (OMAT) that automates software installation across all warehouses for anyone using manual procedures. An automated tool can help eliminate error prone manual procedures, increase flawless object installation and reduce installation time. The OMAT tool is easy to use through a web browser and includes many useful features that support the development life cycle, the Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Act requirements and enforce numerous business requirements. OMAT is designed to support the construction and maintenance of an enterprise-wide, strategic data warehouse faster and better.
The data warehouse is considered as one of the six major IT infrastructures (Weill, et al., 2002) of business organizations. A data warehouse often begins with a small project. Once the return on investment (ROI) is realized the warehouse expands with the growth of the customer base. New data warehouse customers increase at a steady rate throughout the years until the once small project has ballooned into a large data warehouse. A data warehouse can contain hundreds of applications and thousands of objects. These objects include base tables, global temporary tables, base views, and business views for analytical purposes, stored procedures, macros, join indexes, triggers, etc.
Many companies maintain more than one data warehouse related to their business requirements. Warehouses often have names that describe their function. Some examples are Development, Consolidated testing, and Production. These warehouses are often referred to as environments or platforms.
Installing objects and keeping them synchronized across all warehouses (migration) is often a challenge due to sheer number of objects and also to various complexities. For many IT shops object software installations are a manual effort. There is a corresponding high cost due to long hours spent during the year on this activity. Manual procedures can be project timeline constraints and they frequently have a high rate of re-work. Developers can spend a lot of time preparing installation and migration scripts which are prone to run time syntax errors. The cost of migrating objects goes up when developers have to rewrite scripts and re-migrate them. This contradicts the strategic objectives of many data warehousing projects (better, faster, cheaper).
In this paper we propose an automated tool which helps make object migration flawless, more efficient and more effective. It can help any organization achieve the strategic objective of creating and maintaining a state-of-the-art data warehouse with the ulterior goal of helping business executives make better strategic and tactical decisions based on the information stored in the warehouse.
We will proceed to describe one automated tool, Object Migration and Apply Tool (OMAT), which automates object installation across all related data warehouses. Most OMAT functions originate from former manual procedures so using OMAT aligns well with existing development lifecycle activities. OMAT allows a developer to select a particular version of code from the Source Control Repository and store a copy of it in a construct called a package. During construction each OMAT package is assigned a unique 5 digit ascending sequential number. This numbering allows efficient identification and queue management. A package contains one or more related component lines listed in the sequence and in order of dependency. OMAT uses XML files to track which warehouse the object has been installed on and to enforce the synchronization of the selected code version across all of the warehouses.
After the package is constructed the developer uses OMAT to perform an installation on a target environment (Development). OMAT executes each package line sequentially and functions for all database objects - most often tables, views, macro, and stored procedures. It can also install components that reside on Non-Database Clients. Most target destinations (Tables/Folders) are determined automatically based on the Source Control Folder name. OMAT determines the database name from the context of the SQL statements. OMAT automatically looks up the appropriate database logon id and password at run time.
If meaningful errors are encountered, OMAT will stop and wait for resolution. If needed, a developer can add or change lines. Package installation can resume from the failure point after error resolution. Errors defined as 'meaningless' (e.g. SQL Drop errors due to non-existent target objects) are intercepted and ignored. Logs are stored in discrete folders on the ETL server for ready reference.
After the package is installed and tested on development, it is then 'delivered' to the Change Management team for installation on Consolidated Testing and later on Production. The developer has limited rights with their packages after the 'delivery' to Change Management. The Change management team can return the package to the developer for corrections if required except after the point of no return. At installation time OMAT has a feature to detect if there are related batch jobs running that might be using the existing warehouse objects. It will not proceed until it is clear that the objects are not in use. This prevents the installation of the new object version from causing batch job failures or data corruption.


This Nando's is closest to Chalk Farm tube stop, but Camden Town is not much further away, on the Northern Line.
Morrisons is a short walk over the road and round a bend, so you can probably get free or cheap parking there, but you'd have to check!
Toilets were disgusting, tissue and urine everywhere. Food was fast but barley any chicken and was very cold. Two girls working in Nando's ran into a customer by the toilets and laughed and carried into the staff room. Very very disappointed and will not be going there again.
Me and my partner came to Nando's Camden on Thursday after work for a quick meal. There was a bit of a wait around 15 minutes which was not the best but bearable besides the fact we were mega hungry! Once we sat down we came across a lovely girl who was really polite and helpful. We were taken back by her service as she went over and beyond to ensure food was brought quite quickly. Very assertive and this lovely noticeable smile.
Very nice. Comfortable chairs. What a great date!
More staff than customers but still had to wait 22 minutes for my food. No apology from the staff either. They were too busy talking to each other in a foreign language. Needed Marc Joss to translate!
This was the 30th Nando's reviewer event. The Nando's branch is located inbetween Chalk farm and Camden Town stations which are both on the northern line. Parking is possible down some of the sides roads but usually only in the evenings. It was raining quite heavily this night so we entered a bit damp, after popping into La Cubana for a quick happy hour cerveza.
What a lovely evening at Camden Nando's. A great quiz, fantastic food and lovely company. To top it all off, I even won the raffle which could be seen to be mildly confusing as I pulled the winning numbers out myself! The lady at the till made easy work of our complicated Nando's order and there were no mistakes or problems despite the large amount of information received.
RYNXXX, and Camden was the venue.
With this being my first Nando's for a month, I decided to go for the Churrasco Thigh burger mango and lime, with chips and coleslaw. The chicken thigh was rather nice, however as always with this burger, it disintegrated very quickly, so I ended up eating all the bits separately. The bun was alright, although fell apart quickly. There was an abundance of fino-slaw, which was also nice. The chips were not bad, could have been better.
The 30th RYN dinner took place in this Camden/Chalk Farm branch. Stormy outside and absolutely boiling inside is how it could probably be best described.
The doorman that never fails to greet me upon arrival is so cool.
My last Nando's of 2014 was set to be a distinctly underwhelming one - before being saved by the food itself. The Camden branch is in between Chalk Farm and Camden Town stations (both Northern line, and closer to the former) and opposite a large Morrisons. It's quite a small branch and, despite being away from the busy high street and market area, is no doubt kept busy at all times. We walked in and all the tables on the lower floor were occupied and there wasn't even a Nandoca around.
Always a good Nando's. Staff very friendly and always happy to give me a bit more for my money! Never have to wait long for food and it's always of a high quality. Lucky it's my local!
More Chalk Farm than Camden, it's clearly an area which was much more thrilling 20/25 years ago. Must avoid on a Friday/Saturday night, unless you don't mind watching young ladies vomiting and micturating in the street after an alcohol binge, followed by a refuel at Nando's. Too many teenagers and twenty-somethings in the area walking around aimlessly, although NAndo's is always open late.
this Nando's is TINY!!! i didnt find the food up to the usual Nando's standard but it wasn't that bad.... there seemed to be more staff than there were customers!!!
This store close to Camden markets and the large Morrisons has a few on road car parking spaces nearby which charge 20p for 7.5 minutes (£1.60 an hour) max stay 2 hours. The store has a large glass front, inside I felt it was a bit too bright and too quiet on the music front which added to a not so good atmosphere reminiscent of a local authority canteen.
My plate was left on the kitchen bench (under the hot lamps) for 15-20 minutes, while I waited. The waiter was distracted and not paying attention to the customers. The chef did not tell the serving staff that the food was ready. My chicken therefore dry and unappetizing, as was my rice.
I have previously only ordered take-away from this particular Nando's and have enjoyed their chicken in the back of multiple taxis. They even once gave me a free bottle of water that quenched my thirst beautifully. On this particular evening, in search of late-night food to curb the appetite after some outstanding comedy, we looked to find a Nando's that could fill our bellies.
I think that the idea of unlimited refills is fantastic. And the desserts are like gourmet food.
I had a great experience at Camden Nando's yesterday with 6 foreign students and 2 friends on a quiet, scorching Saturday afternoon. My food beat me to the table and I was unable to finish all the peri chips so the portion sizes must have been bigger than normal! This was a great visit which cemented Nando's as a new favourite for many of my students who had only just discovered the irresistilbe nature of peri peri chicken (I took quite a few of them on Wednesday).
This Nandos is a personal favourite of mine although it is quite cramped. There is additional seating upstairs but this is more cramped than downstairs, which makes the eating experience feel a bit awkward if the restaurant was as full as it was on my visit.
The decor inside the restaurant itself is exceptional and would create an ideal aesthetic if the restaurant wasn't as full.
The market opposite is a perfect opportunity to stroll around to digest your Nandos.
Parking is tricky in this area but some back streets are available after 5.30pm and also a few parking meters available outside but usually had to get a space. Recommend to use public transport either bus or the underground. There are so many bars/clubs and shops and of course Camden market! Very convenient Nandos to visit on a night out! Can get very busy in the evenings and at lunch times!
Second time i have ordered takeout, they have repeated my order back when the food has arrived. I haven't understood a word they said as they talked to quickly and realised on return home that they had left out half the order.
Terrible service, terrible food. I have been to Camden Nandos before on a weekday and have always expected to wait, but waiting up to 40 minutes for food to arrive at the table is appalling. I ordred my usual Chicken Burger and peri chips. When the food arrived the chips were soggy and the chicken was dry and inedible.
Had to rush off after the meal so didn't have to time to complain. The whole experience has left a bitter taste in my mouth!
Stood at the counter for more than 15 minutes without acknowledgement while the manager walked around like a doorman providing no help to the person on the counter.
The branch is a 3 minute walk from Chalk Farm tube and around 7 or 8 minutes from Camden Town tube. You are instantly greeted with a unique circular mirror which is surrounded by empty bottles of Nando's sauce in the shape of a sun. This piece of decor is worthy of a visit!
I was pleasantly surprised to be seated straight away on a Saturday night at peak dinner time and there was hardly a queue to order either. Food arrived promptly and was of a high standard.
I cannot even begin to describe how disappointed I was with my meal at this Nandos - I visit Nandos all the time back home in South Africa, and was super excited to experience a taste of home in the UK, never again.

COLUMBUS, GA - (WTVM) - A man wanted on murder charges from November 2017 made his appearance Columbus Recorder's Court, but answered to other outstanding charges.
On Friday, March 2, 23-year-old Jamar Pipkin led Harris County sheriff's deputies and Georgia State Patrol on a high-speed chase across I-185.
Pipkin was taken to the Harris County Jail, then extradited to the Muscogee County Jail on Monday.
In Recorder's Court Tuesday morning, we learned that several law enforcement agencies have been looking for Pipkin on armed robbery and obstruction charges, among others.
Officers from multiple agencies revealed in court that Pipkin was allegedly involved in an armed robbery in December 2017.
Before that, in September, the Columbus Police Department pulled Pipkin over for erratic driving, when he allegedly drove away and ran over an officer in the process.
Pipkins pleaded not guilty to those charges. His attorney, Stacey Jackson, said he's going to take a closer look at police video from both incidents, and he hopes this will reveal what really happened.
"Until we actually see the body cam," Jackson said, "I would have to refute the phrase 'running over' or what have you... because the video will actually describe itself."
Jackson also confirmed Pipkin is scheduled to head back to court Wednesday morning to answer to murder charges.
CPD had taken out warrants for Pipkin's arrest in the shooting death of Jahwon Armstead on Curry Street in November 2017.
Pipkin's charges were bound over to Superior Court, where a judge there will determine his bond.

The postcode area that covers much of west London is called the London W postcode area, or the Western and Paddington postcode area. All of its 27 postcode districts extend west along the River Thames from the city centre. There are districts located on the north and south banks in a number of London Boroughs. Apart from the City of Westminster and the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, the London Boroughs of Ealing, Hammersmith and Fulham, Hounslow, Brent, and Camden also have W postcode districts. The area is made up of two main regions: the Western district (made up of the 14 W1 postcodes) and the Paddington district (comprising the 13 districts from W2 through W14). The districts in the Paddington region were numbered alphabetically according to the name of location of each district's head office.
The W12 postcode district is also known by its former name, the Shepherds Bush district, although this name does not appear in postal addresses. It covers Shepherds Bush and White City in the Hammersmith and Fulham local authority area. One thing that you can check off your to-do list the minute you know your moving day is to contact the council and save a parking space in front of your new home or office. This will cut down on delays on the day of, as the moving vehicle will be able to park straight away instead of circling your place looking for a space large enough. The W12 postcode district is north of the River Thames, separated from its banks by the A4 and Ravenscourt Park. The northern part of the district is covered by the Wormwood Scrubs Park, a large open space sandwiched between the rail line to the north and the A40 to the south. This is also where you will find the Queens Park Rangers Football Club Stadium, known as Rangers Stadium) and Hammersmith Park. The Shepherd's Bush market is another great place to visit when you arrive in W12.

Rated 1 out of 5 by LYampolsky from restriction - yes, analysis - no. All students will be able to do with this kit is to cut lambda into pieces with 3 enzymes. With 4-5 fragments in each digestion, double-digestions are a mess of numerous fragments and no mapping is possible. So what do students learn by doing this experiment? That restriction enzymes cut DNA? Carolina should replace lambda with a suitable plasmid with 1-2 restriction site for each enzyme. Or remove the word "analysis" from the name of the product. I do not recommend this kit to anyone.

Baby Talk Is Universal: Even Monkeys Do It
By Andrea Thompson published 24 August 07
stock.xchng
The words in different cultures may be different, but the sounds are the same.
Researchers have found that people from varying cultures can tell when someone using a non-native language is speaking in "baby talk." And baby talk is not limited to humans. A separate new study suggests monkeys use it, too.
Baby talk involves more than just cooing at a cute little face. Mothers use different vocal cues, such as pitch, volume and rate of speech, in different situations, so that a given word can take on varying meaning pertinent to the situation. Warning a baby not to touch an electrical socket takes a different tone than calming them when they're fussy, for example.
These audible cues are actually used in all manners of speech, whether talking to an infant or an adult, and can be an important factor in conveying meaning and intention.
Researchers Greg Bryant and Clark Barrett, of the University of California, Los Angeles, speculated that the relationship between sound and intention is universal and should be understood by everyone, regardless of their native language.
Baby talk vs. adult talk
To test this idea, they recorded native English-speaking mothers as if they were talking to their own child and then as if they were speaking to another adult. Their speech fell into four categories: prohibitive (warning a child not do to something), approval (encouraging a behavior in a child), comfort (calming down a crying baby) and attention (calling a baby when it isn't looking at you).
The researchers then played the recordings to the inhabitants of a village of hunter-horticulturalists, called the Shuar, in Ecuador to see if they could distinguish between the types of speech.
The Shuar spoke no English, lived in a non-industrialized society and were nonliterate. Structurally and grammatically, their native language, also called Shuar, is "as far away form English as you can get," said Bryant.
The results of the study, detailed in the August issue of the journal Psychological Science, showed that the Shuar participants could distinguish between baby talk and adult talk with 73 percent accuracy.
"The average pitch of the baby talk is higher," Bryant said, also noting that the rate of speech of baby talk is generally slower.
The Shuar could also tell which category the mothers' speech fell into, but were better at this when the mothers were using baby talk. The categories are likely easier to distinguish in baby talk because adults speak in more exaggerated ways to infants than they do to other adults, Bryant told LiveScience.
"These results … provide support for the notion that vocal emotional communication manifests itself in similar ways across disparate cultures," Bryant wrote in a prepared statement.
Monkey baby talk
Another study, published in the September issue of the journal Ethology, suggests that humans aren't the only animals that use baby talk.
The results show that female rhesus monkeys, like human mothers, use baby talk, also called "motherese", when they speak to their babies and are trying to get their attention.
"Motherese is a high pitched and musical form of speech, which may be biological in origin," said study author Dario Maestripieri of the University of Chicago.

'Pathan' to challenge KGF 2 and 'War' with record-breaking opening, box office collection on the first day! pathaan first day box office collection set to challange war kgf 2 record here is what it may earn tmovs
The script of Shahrukh Khan's vigorous comeback has been written. After 'War', director Siddharth Anand is coming with his next action thriller film 'Pathan' and an unseen avatar of Shahrukh is going to be seen in it. After the release of the trailer of the film, the fans are eagerly waiting for it.
After 4 years, the Badshah of Bollywood is returning to the screen as a hero. Last year was very light for Bollywood in terms of business. In such a situation, not only the public but also the industry has high expectations from the first big Bollywood film of 2023, 'Pathan'. The kind of advance booking that is being done for the film, it is becoming clear that what 'Pathan' is going to do at the box office. Let's tell how much Shahrukh's film can earn on the first day.
strong advance booking
Theaters started getting packed as soon as the booking for 'Pathan' opened last week. In many single screen theatres, many shows of the film are seen completely full for Wednesday i.e. the day of its release. As soon as the release comes closer, the speed with which the tickets of 'Pathan' are being sold on Monday and Tuesday is challenging the big films before the lockdown.
The highest advance booking gross for Bollywood so far is Rs 26.90 crore, which came from Hrithik Roshan's film 'War'. According to the data of Sacnilk, 'Pathan' has so far collected an advance gross of 25.75 crores from advance booking. By the end of Tuesday, the advance booking gross of 'Pathan' will be far ahead of 'War'.
top opening record of bollywood
The top opening collection of Bollywood is in the name of 'War', which had an opening collection of Rs 53.35 crore. If the advance booking figures are seen then Shahrukh's film can be seen challenging this opening. It is estimated that even if the record of 'War' is saved, the opening collection of 'Pathan' can reach between 47 to 50 crores.
Here are the top Bollywood opening movies so far:
1. War – Rs 53.35 crore
2. Thugs of Hindostan – Rs 52.25 crore
3. Happy New Year – Rs 44.97 crore
4. Bharat – Rs 42.30 crore
5. Prem Ratan Dhan Payo – Rs 40.35 crore
top opening of hindi movies
Hindi versions of films made in South have made good collections in Hindi in the past few times. If we talk only about Hindi then KGF Chapter 2 is above all Bollywood movies. Yash's film broke the record of 'War' and collected Rs 53.95 crore on the first day. If the reviews of 'Pathan' are good and it gets a lot of praise from the public, then it is quite possible that 'Pathan' will challenge this record too on the basis of walk-in audience.
The biggest opening collection of Shahrukh's career came from Happy New Year, which collected Rs 44.97 crore on the first day. Looking at the advance booking figures of 'Pathan', it is believed that it can become the biggest opening film of Shahrukh's career.

The Most Annoying Diet and Fitness Myths
By Adam Sinicki
In Bodybuilding, Diets
As someone who has spent a lot of time either researching into health and fitness or doing the workouts in person, I consider myself fairly knowledgeable on the subject. Despite that though I still respect the fact that nothing is 'set in stone' as it were when it comes to training because we're making new discoveries all the time, and obviously what works for one person won't necessarily work for someone else. Thus I am careful when imparting advice to stress that it's my opinion and that there are probably alternative methods and views out there; which is why it really gets my goat when I overhear someone spouting complete nonsense as though it was fact.
Take yesterday in the gym for instance. I overheard a guy telling his friend in all seriousness that 'Stallone used to do loads of steroids, that's why he has that snarl'. Not only is that essentially slander (and against a personal hero of mine no less), but it's also completely inaccurate and based on a complete lack of understanding when it comes to the role of hormones in muscle development. Stallone has never (openly) used steroids, although he admits to having used growth hormone (controversial still, but very different). Furthermore, steroids would not cause a guy to develop a snarl. It just doesn't work like that. So why would you act like an expert on the matter and say that it does? To make friends??
While that one got to me personally though, this is a relatively harmless example of the kind of misinformation being spread around freely. The more damaging kind is when someone gives wrong advice to their friends and colleagues and potentially risks doing them injury or at least stifling their progress. Here are some examples of the kind of nonsense people spread daily…
Wine Is 'Good for You'
Someone I work with told me this the other day and said that they tried to 'make sure' they had a glass of wine a day. Look, wine is high in antioxidants and particularly resveratrol which is great at protecting your cells and fighting cancer and heart disease. And as alcohol is a relaxant that could potentially be beneficial to your heart health as well.
But it's still fattening, it's still alcohol, and it's certainly not going to make any major changes to your physique. You can get resveratrol from red grapes and warm milk works as a muscle relaxant. Both are much healthier.
Sugar Free Coke Is Okay
Just because a soda drink doesn't have any sugar in it doesn't mean it's not still harmful in other ways. In this example for instance you'll be drinking sugar alternatives which can 'trick' your body into releasing insulin and thereby leave you feeling lethargic and craving sugar. Best to avoid.
Fat Is Bad for You
A lot of people are still laboring under the false belief that fat is bad for them. Eating things like eggs and whole fat milk will cause heart attacks and massive weight gain! Worse is that many health organizations still preach this, as do many weight loss classes. Here in the UK, the NHS advises against eating fat even, which means you'll have a tough time convincing someone like my Mum otherwise.
Why is this the advice then if it isn't strictly accurate?
Essentially, it comes down to the fact that it used to be true. It was once the understanding that we should avoid eating fat but this was due to poorly designed studies. We now know that the fat in eggs will only boost the 'good kind' of cholesterol (HDL) and that this is essential for things like testosterone production.
Fat is also great for making us feel full (which is why low fat diets don't work out – study), it's very beneficial for brain health and more. The only kind of fat that is 'bad' is the trans-fat that you find in processed foods.
It's time that health organizations caught up to speed with the studies and information that have been available online for years.
You Should Eat All the Avocados
But just as annoying as those who are stuck in a rut and refusing to eat a diet informed by recent science are all those hipsters who have jumped onto the trendy, fatty bandwagon.
Take someone like Dave Asprey who recommends dolloping lumps of butter into your morning coffee. Or how about all those Instagram posers who take photos of avocados all the time.
Fat isn't as bad for us as we once thought. In fact, it is good for us. But like anything, it's still all a matter of proportion and getting the right quantities. Because while something like Avocado is highly nutritious, it is also highly calorific. In fact, a single avocado can contain over 400 calories in some cases – equivalent to a big old club sandwich. And putting butter in your coffee is just dumb.
The thing that's really annoying about this is that people feel the need to get carried away with every new bit of information and take it to its natural extreme. Which doesn't help anyone!
Salt Is Fine
The exact same thing has happened with salt. First, everyone told us that salt was bad for our heart and so we all avoided it. Salty food was considered to be the worst thing going. Then, more recent studies told us that salt was actually fine and wouldn't damage our hearts (study). Unsurprisingly, it actually transpired that we needed salt in our diet. Just like everything that we eat is there for a purpose.
But this then led some people to preach from the rooftops about how 'salt isn't bad for you' and to presume that this meant you could eat as much as you wanted of it. Which of course is also not accurate.
We now know that eating too much salt can actually be very bad for your brain and may lead to a number of issues in that regard. So just, don't get so carried away! Okay?
Milk Is Bad for You
Another example of a food that has been scapegoated is definitely milk. Milk is held responsible for many people feeling bloated, feeling sick, gaining weight etc. The reasoning is that a lot of people can't break down the lactose due to the lack of an enzyme called lactase. This causes lactose to build up in the colon, where it can eventually start to produce methane and noxious gasses which lead to the bloating and stomach pains.
A huge proportion of the Earth's population suffer from this form of lactose intolerance, which is why so many people recommend avoiding it.
But the truth is that most people with lactose intolerance are not Caucasian. This is a condition that is highly common among Asians and African Americans but most Caucasians should be able to consume milk with no problem. And if they can, they should – seeing as it is very healthy.
If you're not sure, then it's possible to get yourself tested for lactose intolerance. If you're not intolerant, then you can drink as much milk as you like with no cause for concern!
Bread Is Bad for You
The precise same thing goes for bread. Sure, if you have celiac disease, then you should avoid bread and gluten at all costs. The same goes for a gluten sensitivity.
But there is zero evidence that gluten is bad for anyone else. While it might seem 'trendy' to 'go gluten free', it is really just a waste of your hard-earned cash.
Steady State Cardio Is Useless
Here's another example of a fitness/health trend taking off and being blown out of all proportion: HIIT.
HIIT is high intensity interval training. This is a form of exercise that involves alternating between periods of intense exertion and periods of relatively calm recovery. It has been shown to be highly effective for weight loss, thanks to its ability to improve your VO2 max, to improve your mitochondrial function and to help you maintain and even build muscle. On top of that, it's 'afterburn effect' means you continue to burn calories for hours after the workout ends.
That's all true. But what's not true is that this makes steady-state cardio obsolete. Heading out for a 60 minute run is still an effective way to train and it has benefits that HIIT just does not. It's actually better for generating new mitochondria for instance (meaning more energy throughout the day) and it also helps to increase the size of the left ventricle in the heart – improving your ability to move blood around your body and thereby improving your resting heart rate.
Plus it makes you better at running long distances.
You Can't Absorb Nutrients From a Multi-Vitamin
A lot of people will tell you that there is no point in taking multivitamins – or a range of other nutrients for that matter – seeing as the body won't be able to absorb the nutrients from them anyway.
Again, this is a baseless claim.
The reasoning is understandable: when we consume vitamins and minerals from supplements, we don't consume them alongside all the other agents we would normally take them with such as fats, carbs and other nutrients. This means in some cases that we won't be able to absorb the nutrients as well. For instance, fat soluble nutrients will only prove effective when taken with a source of fat. Likewise, curcumin becomes far more effective when consumed with black pepper.
Even simple nutrients tend to be absorbed best when not on an empty stomach.
So yes, getting nutrients from your food is always better. But it's not always possible to get nutrients from food. Our diets mostly lack many of the crucially effective nutrients that we could stand to benefit from.
And actually, multivitamins are a perfectly adequate 'second best'. This is especially true for those that have been designed to be as effective as possible. The best multivitamins will be designed with smart combinations to enhance absorption while some will even time their release to stagger the delivery of different ingredients throughout the day.
If you need more proof that nutrients can be absorbed through supplements, then you should look no further than Soylent or Huel. These are supplements designed to replace your entire diet. They have been designed to provide all the nutrients you need in just the right balance – so that you can live without cooking a single meal.
Is this a good idea? Who knows. Probably not, but that's beyond the scope of this post. The point is that people who follow this diet don't die of starvation. And that suggests that they must be absorbing at least a fair bit of it.
If the supplement is well-designed, then it can do a whole lot of good.
Spirits Contain Fewer Calories
This is one that my friends seem to be sure of on a night out. They can drink as much as they like and not get a beer belly because they're drinking vodka instead. Well unfortunately it doesn't work like that. Not only are they drinking them mixed with soda drinks – which are much higher in sugar compared with beers (the equivalent of a Cadbury's Cream Egg if you have a small glass) – but it's actually the alcohol content itself that's the most calorific. In other words the beer doesn't really matter – it's the percentage that will cause you to gain weight. Simply then: if you're drunk, you've put on a bunch of calories. You may as well drink whatever you like.
That said, beer does decrease testosterone in men, so avoiding drinking lots of that is certainly no bad thing.
You Don't Need to Hurt Yourself in the Gym
This is a controversial one and I admit that there are a lot of opinions on this matter (you see how I phrased that?), but whatever the case I can certainly knock anyone who claims with certainty that there is no need to hurt your muscles if you want growth. The point is that your muscles only grow in response to causing microtears – tiny tears in your muscle fibers that grow back thicker and stronger. If you don't have microtears you don't have growth – and microtears hurt.
The pain we get the next day is called 'DOMS' – delayed onset muscle soreness. It's completely normal and in fact many people will work out entirely by 'chasing the pump'. There are ways you can improve without pushing yourself, but your gains will be ignorantly slower coming, and you will likely plateau sooner.
Protein Shakes Are Bad for You
This is something that all my non-bodybuilding friends and relatives seem to believe and I'm often told to 'stop putting that muck' in my system and the like. This really winds me up the wrong way because it's clear that they've done no research and yet still seem to think they know better. Protein shakes are generally made from whey, which is an extract of milk. It's completely natural and it can't do you any harm – in fact it's much more natural than many ready meals and chocolate bars out there. So, with all respect, please be quiet.
And while this is certainly very annoying, it's still not even the most frustrating part. Instead, that dubious honor goes to the notion that you 'don't need' all that much protein to build muscle – that any protein above normal intake will simply be eliminated from the body. That has been shown to be inaccurate in countless studies (study) and really the biggest clue should be this: the simple fact that athletes and bodybuilders always consume extra protein. While a nutritionist might tell you that you don't need more protein to gain muscle, the coaches in the Olympics tell their athletes otherwise. That should be enough to tell you that there is something to the notion that you need more in your diet if you want to build muscle. The best advice to follow in this regard is that you should consume 1g of protein for every 1lb of body weight.
Closing Comments
So those are a fair few myths and misunderstandings relating to fitness and diet. Some of these are harmless 'old wives' tales', whereas others are potentially much more damaging to our health and our progress.
The bottom line is not to accept anything at face value. Don't listen to the advice of your mate down the gym and question what you read online. Do your own research and apply a little bit of common sense. On the whole, it is usually true that everything in our diet is there for a reason, and that exerting yourself is going to make you fitter.
Let's not overcomplicate matters!

Битка у Макасарском пролазу (), вођена 24. јануара 1942. године, била је део рата на Пацифику током Другог светског рата. Малобројна савезничка флота покушала је да омете јапанско искрцавање на Борнео током битке за Холандској Источној Индији. Иако је битка завршена победом савезника, она није успела да спречи пад Борнеа неколико дана касније.

Позадина
Макасарски пролаз је теснац између острва Борнео и Целебес, дугачак 600 а широк 80-230 наутичких миља. Спаја Сулавеско са Јаванским и Флореским морем. Најважнија острва у Макасарском пролазу су Лаут и Себуку на југоисточној обали Борнеа, а најважније луке Баликпапан на Борнеу и Макасар на Целебесу.

После заузимања Таракана 16. јануара, Јапанци су као следећу етапу у освајању Борнеа изабрали луку Баликпапан и 21. јануара упутили из Таракана десантни одред (18 транспортних бродова са 2 разарача и 3 патролна чамца у непосредној блиској и 1 лаком крстарицом и 7 разарача у непосредној даљој заштити). Искрцавање трупа почело је 23. јануара у 21 час и 30 минута. Да би боље заштитили транспортне бродове, бродови заштите удаљили су се око поноћи у средину Макасарског пролаза.

Битка
Обавештен о предстојећем нападу на Баликпапан, амерички адмирал Вилијам Гласфорд (), командант савезничке флотиле у Сурабаји, упутио је 23. јануара у Макасарски пролаз 4 разарача. Откривши 24. јануара у 2 часа и 45 минута на сидришту у Баликпапану  јапанске бродове чије су се силуете од пожара на копну оцртавале на позадини, амерички разарачи су 10 минута касније извршили торпедни, а затим артиљеријски напад. Изненађени Јапанци су у почетку сматрали да су их напале подморнице торпедима, а на артиљеријску ватру одговорили су непрецизно. За читав сат, колико је трајала артиљеријска борба, постигли су само 1 погодак. Једно време су се гађали и међусобно. Потопљена су 4 јапанска транспортна и 1 патролни брод, а неколико транспортних је оштећено.

Последице
Мада је овај успех Американаца успорио освајање Борнеа највише за 24 часа, имао је морално дејство на савезнике јер је то био њихов први успех на мору у првој фази јапанске експанзије у југоисточној Азији.

Two teenagers arrested after 16-year-old stabbed to death

Ramarni Crosby 16, died at the scene of where he was attacked in Gloucester on Wednesday evening (Gloucestershire Police/PA) (PA Media)
Two teenagers have been arrested on suspicion of murder after a 16-year-old boy was stabbed to death, police said.
The youths, aged 16 and 17, have been detained in connection with the death of Ramarni Crosby in the Tredworth area of Gloucester
The teenager, known as Marni to family and friends, was fatally stabbed on Wednesday evening in Stratton Road.
Gloucestershire Police said he died at the scene from his injuries.
Chief Inspector Rich Pegler said on Thursday: "I must stress we are still at an early stage of the investigation, which is being led by the major crime investigation team.
"Two teenagers, aged 16 and 17, have been arrested on suspicion of murder after attending a police station earlier today.
"However there are a number of local people still outstanding we would like to speak to."
Mr Pegler said Ramarni was from the Frampton on Severn area of Gloucestershire.
"The family of this young man has been informed and our thoughts go out to them at this devastating time," he said.
"They are now receiving support from our family liaison officers.
"Both ourselves, and Ramarni's family, are asking any witnesses, or any parents who know of their child's involvement, to come forward.
"This was a horrific incident, which is even more tragic because of the young age of the victim.
"It has understandably sent shockwaves through the community and caused a huge outpouring of anger and grief.
"This once again shows the devastating impact that knife crime can have.
"We know that the police have a significant role to play, alongside other agencies and our communities, to tackle the issue of violence on our streets.
"Over the coming days, officers will be patrolling the area and we would encourage anyone with concerns to speak to us.
"We would also urge anyone who has not already spoken to us, or anyone who has video footage of the incident, to contact us and not to post it on social media.
"Our thoughts are with Ramarni's family and friends at this time."

Texas synagogue siege: British man who took four hostage in Colleyville 'was known to MI5'
The British man who was shot dead after taking four people hostage at a synagogue in Texas had been on the radar of MI5, Sky News understands. The Security Service began looking into Malik Faisal Akram, 44, in the second half of 2020 to assess whether he posed a security threat, a Whitehall source said. The so-called "short-lead investigation" into Akram by MI5, however, concluded that there was no "credible threat to national security at that time", the source said.

PlayStation maker Sony in shares slump after Microsoft's Activision Blizzard swoop
Shares in PlayStation maker Sony have plunged after rival Microsoft, the company behind rival games console Xbox, agreed to buy games developer Activision Blizzard for $68.7bn (£50.5bn). It represents a new challenge in the console battle in which the PlayStation is currently widely seen as having the upper hand. The concern for Sony could be that Activision games might be pulled from the PlayStation's systems - though that would mean sacrificing the major source of revenue that PlayStation currently provides the developer.

AOL acquires sports site in online push
Continuing the aggressive expansion of its online content, Time Warner Inc.'s AOL on Friday announced the acquisition of fantasy football web site Fleaflicker for an undisclosed amount.
Fleaflicker is a three-year-old ad-driven Web site that allows viewers, for free, to create fantasy football leagues. It boasts features like stats, analysis and a live scoreboard. Manhattan-based AOL bought Fleaflicker to enhance its AOL Sports content, a continuation of ongoing effort to add unique content in order to attract consumers and advertisers.
So far, the strategy seems to be working. AOL announced Friday that its programming sites hit an all-time traffic high in March, after growing steadily for six consecutive months in both unique visitors and page views. In March, all of its sites together had 56.5 million unique visitors, an increase of 11% year-over-year, according to data from comScore Media Metrix. Page views were up 35% year-over-year. Moreover, comScore ranked AOL's Platorm-A as the No. 1 advertising network.
Over the past year, AOL has designed all of its key portals, including those in Money & Finance, News Sports and Health. It has also launched a number of new sites in the past year, including Asylum.com, WalletPop.com and Spinner.com.
"Our strong growth is a direct result of rebuilding each and every one of our vertical web sites over the past 12-months with the goal of providing consumers highly relevant and rich experiences that focus on key passions points which in turn provide tremendous value to our advertising partners," said Bill Wilson, executive vive president of AOL Vertical Programming.
