Findmypast Announces Project to Digitise & Publish 1921 Census of England & Wales
I received this information from Findmypast today:
The National Archives in association with the Office for National Statistics (ONS) has awarded leading British & Irish family history website Findmypast the contract to digitise and publish the 1921 Census online
In the most anticipated family history development since the online publication of the 1939 Register, Findmypast has been selected as The National Archives' commercial partner to make the 1921 Census of England & Wales available online.
The census, which was the first to be conducted following the introduction of the Census Act of 1920, will be published online by Findmypast in January 2022.
The project will see Findmypast capture digital images and transcribe the records in a way that will enable family historians across the globe to conduct meaningful searches of these important records when they are opened for the very first time.
Taken on 19th June 1921, the census consists of more than 28,000 bound volumes of original household returns containing detailed information on close to 38 million individuals.
It provides greater detail than any previous census as, in addition to the questions asked in 1911, the 1921 returns also asked householders to reveal their place of employment, the industry they worked in and the materials they worked with as well as their employer's name. Those aged 15 and older were required to provide information about their marital status, including if divorced, while for those under 15 the census recorded whether both parents were alive or if either or both had died.
The 1921 Census also included detailed questions on education, and was the first in which individual householders could submit separate confidential returns.
Tamsin Todd, CEO of Findmypast, says: "This announcement is important for all family historians tracing their ancestors living in Britain in the early twentieth century. It provides a fascinating snapshot of how people lived and worked in the years following World War 1, and it's all the more important because there's no surviving census for the next two decades until 1951."
Neil Curtis, Finance and Commercial Director at The National Archives, said: "This is the most significant digitisation project The National Archives has undertaken to date, with the 1921 census containing detailed information on close to 38 million individuals. As home to more than 1,000 years of history, we are delighted to be working with Findmypast to open up this unique record collection to the world."
Pete Benton, Census Operations Director at The Office for National Statistics, said: "The 1921 Census records are a unique opportunity to uncover details of how your family lived and worked in a period of massive socio-economic change in post-World War One Britain. They give greater detail than any previous census and are eagerly anticipated by genealogists the world over. At ONS, we keep census records under tight security for 100 years and we are very much looking forward to enabling this invaluable source of history to be made available to the public in January 2022."
Collections previously digitised by Findmypast in association with The National Archives include the 1939 Register, Prisoners of War 1715 to 1945, Easter Rising & Ireland under martial law 1916-1921, Crime, Prisons and Punishment; outbound passenger lists; British Army Service records; Merchant Navy Seamen's records; Maritime Birth, Marriage and Death indexes; and the 1911 Census.

Even though this was my fifth trip to Cameroon, West Africa, to minister in a remote mountain community, I still get excited when I think about what God did while we were there. We directed many facets of our ministry into three areas: This BIST signboard was erected to commemorate the year's graduating class.a small Baptist denomination; an orphanage where we stayed; and to the local community.
Rather than attempt to describe what we did on this latest mission, I'll let our photos do the talking.
The first half of photos present our various ministries with the Cameroon National Baptist Convention (CNBC). The second half displays events and activities conducted at the Harvest Children's Home Orphanage. Please enjoy our Mission Cameroon 2010 photo tour!
Dale gives a donated NIV Study Bible to Glory (far left), a student at the Baptist International School of Theology (BIST). The Bible was used as a textbook for the Inductive Bible-Study Methods course.
The American part of the team that ministered in Cameroon this year from May 13 to 29 pose for a team photo.
In the back row (from left to right) are Meg, her dad Mike Churchman, and Dale.
In the front are Dr. Stan Gabriel (who ministers with Marti and Dale in GLDT), Marti, and Dr. Alan Weaver (who was also a Campus Crusade teammate a couple of years ago).
At the Baptist Inter-national School of Theology (BIST), Dale and co-teacher, Dr. Stan Gabriel (not in photo) teach the Inductive Bible-Study Methods course.
Every year, the ministry team takes its annual BIST photo. The eleven current students are dressed in the school uniform while the six faculty members are dressed in civilian clothes. The provost, Rev. David Mundama, is on the left.
This is the fifth Cameroon trip in as many years that Dr. Alan Weaver and Dale have taken together.
Here, Alan (second from right) teaches district pastors of the Cameroon National Baptist Convention (CNBC) during the Mentor's Conference. Most of the mentors are district pastors who have the opportunity to be mentors to other pastors in the districts they oversee.
The two-day pastor's conference features three speakers. Here, Dale leads a session about what makes an ideal Christian leader. He uses the Leadership Framework, a model of leadership used by the Global Leadership Development Team (GLDT) branch of Campus Crusade for Christ.
Approximately 80 pastors attended this conference.
During the pastor's conference, the first hour was devoted to a plenary speaker, followed by a half-hour discussion time for small groups.
This group chose to discuss "leadership outside the church" while meeting under a tree.
Both Sundays in Cameroon, Alan, Stan, and Dale preached at local CNBC churches. Here, at Belo Baptist Church, Dale preaches a message on 1 Samuel 14:1–23 titled "God Rewards Faith, Not Self-Effort."
The man standing next to Dale was his interpreter.
Marti was the featured speaker during a one-day denomination-wide women's conference. She spoke on prayer and finding one's significance in the Lord and then led a "pad workshop."
She anticipated speaking to 70 women but 150 attended!
This photo was taken early in the day when she was speaking about the ACTS method of prayer (A=adoration, C=confession, T=thanksgiving, and S=supplication).
(Note from Marti, in relation to the women's conference) "At the beginning of the day, I told the ladies that I was open to praying for anyone with special needs. I mentioned those who had been involved with the child god, the river god, and in marin initiation. At the end of the day, 20 women were packed into the prayer room. Through a translator, I led them to renounce those other gods and acknowledge the Lord Jesus Christ over all. I used material from Neil Anderson's writings.
After Marti hosted the pad workshop for the women with CNBC, she went to the market place to buy pumpkin leaves (actually calabash leaves) to have with fufu (a favorite local dish) for dinner. The leaf seller lady (on the left) recognized Marti and told her, "Oh, I was in your class, yesterday, and I'm using a pad now and I love it."
We now transition into photos of the Mission Cameroon 2010 team's various activities at Harvest Children's Home Orphanage.
The CNBC Women's Conference was supposed to last one day only. However, the day after the conference ended, two ladies (on the right) arrived to the orphanage, desiring conference materials. Some ladies had to walk for six hours to attend the conference so this may have been the reason they came late. Flexible Marti and an orphanage staff person took the latecomers into a room at the orphanage where Marti gave her pad talk and workshop once again.
Marti had given the "pad talk" during a workshop to 16 older girls and staff of the orphanage. Here, the ladies were very eager and delighted to learn about these pads.
One Friday night, we showed The Jesus Film, which had been produced in the Kom language, the heart language of the orphans.
Included at the end of the film is a gospel presentation, followed by opportunities to pray and invite Christ into one's life. After the film ended, some prayed the prayer out loud.
During her "spare" time, Marti enjoyed reading to the orphans. Some days this took place during the day; other days it happened at night.
Although the electricity for the orphanage was out when Marti started to read a story, she used a headlamp and that made a big difference. Later, when the electricity came back on, Dale snapped this shot.
On a couple of occasions, Marti led evening devotions for the children at the orphanage as she is doing here.
During the two weeks at Harvest Children's Home, team members began constructing a new kitchen. The existing one will be converted into an additional bathroom so male and female orphans will have their own bathing facility. The team built the new kitchen from the ground up to this level.
Emmanuel Ngala (right) will complete it next month using materials and money the team donated. An orphanage staff member who built three other buildings, this project was left in good hands.
As a treat to the team, on one of the final days, Dale led the group to see the waterfall below Fundong town. Even though it was not the peak of the rainy season, the view was still magnificent.
Dale and Marti want to thank those of you who participated in Mission Cameroon 2010 through your prayers and support. This was a team effort and the mission team could not have done it without you!
Many thanks go to you from the Fishers.


Chartered in 1964, the Buffalo Gateway Chorus is an award-winning Western New York-based nonprofit organization of over 90 women singers. We celebrated our 50th anniversary in 2014 ! Ignite a spark that may have been dormant inside of you and visit a Wednesday night OPEN HOUSE rehearsal this year. You will find that the energy, musical excellence and friendship is unsurpassed in WNY choral circles!
We love to get out and sing for our community. We sing at our annual show, a number of community events, and at annual competitions. In addition to sharing our music with others, another great passion of ours is learning more about the art of acapella singing. Vocal instruction is a regular part of chorus rehearsals and a very important component of the chorus experience. Several times a year we benefit from the coaching expertise of master instructors within the Sweet Adelines organization. As a result, we learn many fabulous tricks of the trade.
We are a Chapter of Sweet Adelines International, Inc. We sing four-part harmony, in the Barbershop style. Barbershop harmony is a style of unaccompanied vocal music characterized by four-part chords for every melody note in a predominantly homophonic texture. The melody is consistently sung by the lead, with the tenor harmonizing above the melody, the bass singing the lowest harmonizing notes, and the baritone completing the chord.
We rehearse on Wednesday evenings at 7:00 p.m. Sacred Heart School at 5331 Genesee Street in Lancaster, New York 14026 We would love to have you visit and sing with us!


Moved to Pittsburgh from Portland a few years ago, and love it here! I do a little bit of everything (architecture, design, coding, prototypes, test tools, requirements analysis) as a principal engineer for an internet security company in Portland, Oregon. I love learning anything and everything.

Today! Because he's never Justin any more. All day, every day –
They Might Be Giants (1971)
Directed by Anthony Harvey
Starring George C. Scott, Joanne Woodward, Jack Gilford, Rue McClanahan, Al Lewis (x2), Theresa Merritt, Oliver Clark, James Tolkan (x3), F. Murray Abraham (x3), Sudie Bond, M. Emmet Walsh (x4), Louis Zorich, Paul Benedict, Frances Fuller, Lester Rawlins, Ron Weyand
Another kind of Sherlock Holmes movie, They Might Be Giants shares more similarities with Man of La Mancha than with Arthur Conan Doyle's detective, despite this movie featuring a mystery, a Watson, and sort of a Moriarty. Sort of. Not all that dissimilar from #264 The Ruling Class, this is another play-based lunatic comedy wherein the main character believes himself to be someone completely different – Ruling Class had Peter O'Toole's upper crust noble convinced he was Jesus Christ; They Might Be Giants sees George C. Scott's respected lawyer and judge Justin Playfair 100% committed to the idea that he is actually Sherlock Holmes.
There are some family hijinks – again, not unlike Ruling Class – where they are trying to get Justin committed, and rope in a psychiatrist to evaluate him. She (Joanne Woodward's conveniently named Dr. Watson) is immediately swept up in the adventure, and the romance, of this modern day Victorian sleuth, unearthing clues in 1970's New York. Are there curious motivations for virtually everything that happens in this movie? Yes. Is Watson's budding relationship with the clearly unbalanced Holmes remotely realistic? No. But is any of that really the point? Unlike Ruling Class – which I'll cease to mention at this point – this movie tries to remain relatively light while attempting to explain how Justin became this way, and if there's any chance of returning him back to his old self.
And that's not really the point of the movie either. Fairly early on, Watson as much as states that curing a classic paranoid delusion case such as Justin's is "once in a generation," but her aims to see whether he'd benefit from being committed quickly evaporate. It's also not played entirely for laughs – this weaves in and out of strange locales, encountering a bevy of damaged, lonely folks, who all manage to find each other. It's a pretty optimistic, hopeful movie in that regard. And the slightly loopy scenario placed on Holmes and Watson ends up being, if not entirely realistic, fairly believable, so well do Scott and Woodward work together, and so solid are they in these parts.
They Might Be Giants does have some tricky history, which handicaps it a bit. James Goldman adapted his play for the screen (a play which seemingly no longer exists in a written form anywhere), and not being a smash hit, the film took an odd post-theatrical journey, popping up intermittently on VHS and DVD and streaming, and all with different cuts and versions. The theatrical runtime was 1:38, but no currently available format has this entire film. It was on Netflix for a hot minute a few years ago (when I first saw it) which ran 1:31, and once that disappeared I tracked down the DVD, which only runs 1:27. What the hell, folks? The last fifteen minutes are the likely spot for the edits, as there are a bunch of mysterious sequences that feel jangly, but I can't know for sure, I've never seen a good breakdown of the third act plot, and the shooting script is also very difficult to come by. So…the quality might depend on how you see it?
Scott's performance was nominated for a BAFTA, bundled with his work in The Hospital in '71, but otherwise They Might Be Giants lasting contribution to world culture appears to be as the inspiration for the alt-rock band of the same name, who gave us such classics as "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)," "Dr. Worm," and "The Statue Got Me High." So if nothing else, thanks for that, James Goldman!
While you're at it, keep the nightlight on inside the birdhouse in your soul
Only Grandpa Munster Al Lewis joins the Two-Timers today, following his work in #288 They Shoot Horses, Don't They?, while we have a trio advancing – James Tolkan (#344 Back to the Future II, #196 Dick Tracy) and F. Murray Abraham in his film debut (also, #279 Muppets From Space and #197 Inside Llewyn Davis) moving to the Threes, and today's spotlighter M. Emmet Walsh (#266 The Jerk, #230 Blade Runner, #213 Slap Shot) heading to the Fours!
Fun fact: I saw M. Emmet Walsh (right, with Francis Guinan) in the Steppenwolf's production of The Night Alive a few years back
Coming tomorrow! Something is rotten in the state of Denmark, and Hamlet is taking out the trash –

Q: Bootstrap: centering the columns in fluid row (09/30/2015) Solution to this problem was added at the bottom
I've been searching and playing with CSS files but I can't seem to get this correctly, instead, I'm just patching up css with bad solutions.
Current setup
I have a row with

. It looks fine to me when I'm on desktop, but when I'm in mobile device, they move around and setup with ugly centering position.
I wanted to use row-fluid option because I didn't want 24 columns stacking and taking so much space.

I added media queries to handle different screen sizes, but I'm sure this is a hard coded way and I should avoid as much as possible. Here's the snippet
@media(max-width:1000px) {
    #skills .skills-item {
        margin-right: 30px;
    }
}

@media(min-width: 1001px) and (max-width: 1200px){
    #skills .skills-item {
        margin-right: 30px;
        margin-left: 5px;
    }
}

@media(max-width: 767px) {
    #skills .skills-item {
        margin-right: 55px;
        margin-left: 15px;
    }
}

@media(max-width: 466px) {
    #skills .skills-item {
        margin-right: 40px;
        margin-left: 40px;
    }
}

@media(max-width: 376px) {
    #skills .skills-item {
        margin-right: 40px;
        margin-left: 30px;
    }
}

I mean this works, but still look ugly on some sizes.
Question
Is there any clean solution to make these columns center?
Something like margin: 0 auto; and centering all of the would be perfect, but it didn't work. (or maybe I just couldn't find where to place that)
The website I'm making is online for test purposes (not finished at all) Here
Thank you!
EDIT : added html and css

A: None of your div boxes are actually in their row container.
In other words, each
 is outside
, which is a collapsed box since each div is absolutely position by the hvr-float-shadow class.
If you put a border around .row-fluid you'll notice it's just a flat line above the boxes.

There are several ways to "clearfix" the problem. You can try adding overflow: hidden to the container class (.row-fluid), as one method. The row now expands to wrap all the boxes.
Then to keep the boxes centered I would suggest making each box inline-block.
.col-xs-1 skills-item { display: inline-block; }
and applying text-align: center; to the parent container:
.row-fluid { text-align: center; }
This should keep the boxes centered in all screen sizes. Just make sure to remove all the margin patches you had added.

You had a few issues with the way things were setup, your links for instance had mad bleed off with the padding because you never setup border-box so your heights were varied. From there I set up the .skills-item to be inline block and I set the #skills div to text-align center to center them.
Let me know in the comments if you have questions.

In this unique training session, educators will explore the role of the key person and their relationships with the children in their care. We will also look at theorists and pioneers and how their work has impacted on practice.
We will carefully examine the settling-in process and how educators can keep the child's welfare and well-being central throughout.


Welcome to Harmonistan! Berlin-based architect/writer Markus Miessen tackles the pervasive contemporary overuse of the concept of ''participation'' in the final part of his paradigm-changing trilogy. Supported by a nostalgic veneer of worthiness, phony solidarity and political correctness, participation has become the default of politicians withdrawing from responsibility. Miessen argues for an urgent inversion of participation, reflecting cogently on the limits and traps of its real motivations. He dreads breeding the next generation of facilitators and mediators, insisting on conflict as an enabling, instead of disabling, force. With refreshing candor, this internationally known architect and professor outlines a format for acting as uninvited irritant, forcing entry into fields of knowledge that arguably benefit from exterior thinking. Sometimes, Miessen writes, democracy has to be avoided at all costs!

Righteous Brisket Interview
This interview is week 18 of Sean Claes' 52 Weeks of Austin Music Interviews.
A Cut Above Most
Talking with Austin's Righteous Brisket
By Sean Claes
Righteous Brisket is a local band made up of four individuals who are veterans of the Austin Music Scene. Members Tim Brown, John Duer, Jake Spelman, and Aaron Seymour have probably been in about 25-30 bands between them, but it seems like this time they've found the key to being happy.
Gone are the days of reaching for the brass ring of fame, and now these four friends are taking the time to simply rock their outlaw-country-meets-rock sounds for crowds of friends and...well.. future friends.
Last year, the band went through a big change when Aaron Seymour, the lead vocalist had the opportunity to move to Sydney, Australia. The remaining three members forged on and the fruits of their labor is going to be on full display at the Red Eyed Fly this Saturday, May 19. This will be their first gig as a three-piece... and likely their last... as Seymour recently moved back to Austin (and surprised his band at practice a few weeks ago).
I had a chance to talk with all 4 members of Righteous Brisket recently. Below was my interview with them. No animals were BBQ's during the writing of this story.
Credit: Photography By Maurice
Sean Claes: Righteous Brisket is a great name. How did it come about?
Jake Spelman: In my high school health/PE class there was this guy (imagine a 'Joe Dirt-meets-Beavis' type of character) who was always trying to get the teacher/coach to party with him and his friends.
One Friday he said, "Coach, man, you GOTTA come out to the lake with us this weekend. We're gonna be out there all day—just hangin' out with some cold 'drinks'—it's gonna be awesome. There's gonna be ALL KINDS of people out there and…and we're gonna cook a RIGHTEOUS BRISKET—I think you'd LAHK it, Coach."
Claes: How did the members of the band meet?
Tim Brown: I've actually known Jake the longest. A while back one of his old bands was recording at the studio that my roommate operated in our garage. We recruited him to do a solo on a recording we were doing and were so blown away that when my roommate and I were starting a band called The Men from Nantucket, we asked Jake to join and he said yes.
I met Aaron thanks to the Austin Indie Alliance (RIP) when his band BySaturday would play with my old band Nooner all the time.
I didn't know John well at all before starting RB but had we also met through the AIA. He and Aaron even played together briefly in a band for a while.
Claes: The music you guys play is a cross between outlaw country and old-school rock. You tout it as "Trailer Trash Rock." How did you arrive at the sound?
Aaron Seymour: My roots are the Texas Hill Country. Born and raised about 90 miles south of Austin. I fought that sound most of my life but ultimately I gave in and realized it's what I am….and honestly it's a damn fine sound we make. For me it really wasn't a choice to play that style, it's really being true to myself to play it. I'll be the first to admit that what we are doing isn't exactly reinventing the wheel, but what we are doing is taking four of those wheels, slapping them on 1977 Trans Am and hauling ass!
John Duer: Our sound comes from the blending of our individual tastes in music. We all agree on some things, and disagree on others. The final product is a combination of the sounds upon which we agree.
Claes: The entire band comes from numerous past projects. Tell me a little about the bands everyone has played with.
Brown: I moved to Austin back in the fall of 1998 and much to my parents' chagrin I auditioned for a band and got the gig even before I got a job.
That band was El Kabong (me on drums) and then I went on to play drums in The Men From Nantucket (with Jake on lead guitar), Rex Banner (bass), Speedo Envy (bass), Nooner (bass), She Craves (bass) and of course now Righteous Brisket (drums).
I did a stint on bass with an 80's cover band called The Stummies and actually met my wife backstage before a show. There were a few other dalliances along the way but these are the ones that actually saw the light of day with any regularity.
Seymour: As far as "real" bands go I was in a band called BySaturday in the early 2000s. Fun band and we did well. Then Tim and Ben Mills recruited me into Nooner. That was a wild ride. Nonstop gigs and touring. We even sold over 32000 copies of our 2nd album through independent national distribution and had label interest. Long story short, band turmoil shot that all to shit.
Spelman: I was in Uncle Pete's Forgiveness when Tim was in El Kabong in the 90's. Our bands met when we played at the Black Cat on the same night. Uncle Pete's wanted to start recording, and Jeff Maher (front man for El Kabong) ran a studio out of his house called Garage Mahal.
By the time we finished our album, El Kabong had dissolved. Jeff & Tim started The Men From Nantucket and asked me to join, which was great. At the same time, I briefly played with Yashi Vaughan in a quasi-jazz outfit called Yashi and Them.
After a few years, Nooner was between guitar players and I got to know Aaron when I was a stand-in guitarist for Nooner for about a month. And we all did a stretch last year as Shelli Coe's backing band.
Duer: I've played bass for Shelli Coe for the last several years. I've also been a "hired gun" for several Texas country artists. In the distant past, I've played the blues, country, classic rock, Dixieland jazz. I've also played with Shand Walton and the All Amigos Club and Marshall Jones and the Frontier Phrenologists, both of which acts are (or, in the case of the Phrenologists, were) based here in Austin.
Claes: You guys seem to be less about reaching for the brass ring and more about the fun of playing as a unit. Is that kind of a statement of where each of you are in life with your music?
Brown: ABSOLUTELY! We've all had our different career paths in terms of music.
When I decided to leave She Craves that was one of the hardest life decisions I've ever made because I loved the band and the people in it. We were so driven and so focused on the success of the band that many other important aspects of my life were suffering as a result and I wasn't happy any more. After I left the band I didn't touch my bass guitar or drums for 6 months even once.
After I got over that mourning and readjustment period, Aaron and I decided to put RB together and I've never had more fun playing or felt so musically and artistically fulfilled in my life.
Seymour: A little bit I guess. To me it's more about been there, done that. In Nooner we did the touring and constant gigs. Loved every minute of it but it was grueling. Honestly all of us have gone down that path with other bands. Now we choose to keep our business close to home now but we still take it just as serious. Ultimately we look at it like we'll work our asses off to be home town heroes....and being that in Austin is a damn fine thing!
Spelman: Yeah, I agree with Tim—reaching for the brass ring ended up tarnishing everything else. And touring is fine if you're going to play somewhere with a better music scene than where you live, but living in Austin makes playing local shows on a whenever-it-feels-right basis a better brass ring.
Duer: Yep. We play what we want, when we want, and where we want. We play because we love it, and we enjoy doing it together. If it isn't fun, there's no reason to do it. If it isn't fun, it's more like work. And we all hate work.
Claes: Your debut album, Butchers Brew was recorded in Aaron's home and released in 2010 on John's label, Big Beard Records. How many pigs were destroyed in the making of the album?
Seymour: We recorded an album? I thought we had a 3 day BBQ and rid the world of a couple cases of beer (root beer on John's part) to better humanity. Apparently an album came about at the same time.
Duer: We kind of stayed away from pork products during the recording of Butcher's Brew. Pork has a tendency to impair Jake's hearing, so we thought it would be best to limit our intake to massive amounts of beer and beef.
Claes: One of my favorite tracks is the "Redneck SOB." So, is this track autobiographical?
Seymour: That's just ridiculous to say. I've never been on welfare.
Duer: I think it is…
By: Kristin Farwell
Claes: There's also a great cover of Cheap Trick's "Surrender." How did that make it to the album?
Brown: One of the hurdles that most new bands face is coming up with material to play just as they're getting things up and running. We found ourselves in that same boat and since I've always loved "Surrender" and always have wanted to play it, I suggested we try to come up with our own version. It went over well with the crowd when we played it live and since we had so much fun playing it, we figured we should put it on our record and share it with the world. As a matter of fact, we've got a kickass new and top-secret cover song to unleash on the world during our show on 5/19 at the Red Eyed Fly!
Duer: Our fans seemed to enjoy it when we played it live, so I guess we were giving them something on the record that would remind them of the live show. I really have no idea…
By: Lisa Allison
Claes: You've got a 6-track EP entitled Late For The Last Supper I've yet to hear, but see online. Have you had a release?
Brown: We've announced it on-line and have sold a few copies digitally but our official coming out party for that recording will be at our show on May 19th at the Red Eyed Fly. This will be the first time we've played since Aaron moved to Australia last fall so we haven't had a chance to do it sooner.
Claes: Tell me about "Next Song That I Write."
Duer: This song is the product of my amusement at – and sometimes frustration with – the ongoing debate about the nature of "real" country music, and the state of country music radio today. As I was preparing myself for several Texas country music shows with different artists, it seemed like every "country" song on the radio was some guy singing about some friend of his who is also a songwriter, or just dropping big names for no apparent reason, other than to make themselves seem cool. And some of those guys are named in the lyrics of "The Next Song That I Write."
Claes: Continuing the obscure cover song choices to close your albums, how did you end up recording the Jerry Reed's "Ëastbound and Down?"
Seymour: How could we not play that? It was a moral obligation.
Spelman: I was really excited when Aaron brought the idea. "Smokey and the Bandit" was one of the first movies I ever saw on cable as a kid (at a friend's house), and is probably a big reason that my favorite major American beer is long-neck "yella bellies."
Claes: About 6 months ago, lead vocalist, Aaron Seymour, moved to Australia. How did you make the decision to move on as a three-piece?
Brown: Necessity. Logistical and emotional necessity. Jake, John and I were having too much fun and loved the band so much that we didn't want to let it die after Aaron left.
Our first option was to try and recruit friends to take over Aaron's place but nobody was brave enough to try to fill his shoes. Then we put an ad on Craigslist but nobody that responded was good enough or worthy of filling his shoes. At that point we made our first attempt at playing as a trio with John singing lead on most songs, Jake on a few and then adding me on backing vocals.
I think it was me that first flipped the panic switch on this arrangement because it just didn't feel right. It felt like a watered down version of the RB that we all loved so much. At that point we contacted our friend Jeff Thomas to see if he'd be interested in joining as a guitar player while John sang lead.
We rehearsed with him for a few months but eventually we all came to the conclusion that it was just a square peg/round hole situation. We parted ways with Jeff on great terms and wish him nothing but the best and we're thankful for the time and effort he put into trying to make it work.
When we split with Jeff in early 2012, the three of us found ourselves in a pretty bad funk in terms of our outlook for RB. We didn't want to force things and keep RB alive for our own vanity but it wasn't lost on us that the three of us were the core of a pretty kickass band and weren't ready to let RB die without one last fight.
At that point, giving the trio option another try was our last resort. This time when the three of us got into the rehearsal room, it was like we had a renewed sense of purpose and mission that fueled our playing and on top of that, John had become more comfortable singing lead and Jake had a better grasp of what he wanted to do guitar-wise to fill in the holes left by Aaron. This time around, it worked and we were beyond relieved. It was like we were seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. We knew RB was going to live to see the light of day again!

Claes: What kinds of arrangements were made (vocals/guitar/song structure) to make a 3-piece work?
Duer: The biggest thing for me was learning all the lyrics to the songs. I had been used to singing the harmonies, but I'd never taken time to learn the words all the way through. Then, I had to learn to sing the lyrics while playing the bass. It's easier to play interesting bass lines when you're not having to concentrate on the net line you're going to sing.
Brown: John has done an amazing job stepping up in terms of singing lead on almost everything now. Jake has been experimenting with his guitar and pedal set up and has his rig sounding top notch. One thing that we always did very well was sing three part harmonies back when Aaron was in the band and that was an aspect of our sound that we didn't want to lose.
The guys finally relented and gave me a mic so now I'm singing back up and I hope to not make the guys regret that decision. In addition to those tangible changes, it seems to me like we're all fired up more and playing with a bit more piss and vinegar in our veins.
We came to the brink of seeing Righteous Brisket cease to exist so now that we're back on track, we're fired up and ready to grab the world by the hair and say, "We're back!"
Claes: Now, to add to the above, Aaron is now back in Austin, having moved back a few weeks ago and wandered into practice on May 3 unannounced (surprising John and Jake. Tim knew). Tell me about that.
Spelman: Tim kept looking at the door as we were setting up, and I thought you were going to walk through it, Sean. But when Aaron entered, that was one of the biggest and best surprises I'd had in a LONG time (thanks Tim!). I quickly supplied Aaron with a cold "yella belly" to welcome him back to the States.
Duer: Quite a welcome surprise! I had a feeling (from Facebook posts) that something was in the works, but I didn't know it was happening so quickly.
Claes: I mentioned earlier that John has his own record label, Big Beard Records. How did that come about and who's on the label?
Duer: It's a vanity thing, really. It sounds cool to talk about "my label." (lol) The name came from the fact that I have a big beard, and the acts on the label, with one exception (Thunderosa), are acts that I have been involved with, either as a bass player, producer, or both: Forty Years Later (a now-defunct Kingston Trio tribute band); Shelli Coe; and Righteous Brisket.
Claes: You've got a re-launch show for the 3-piece band on May 19 at the Red Eyed Fly. What can we expect?
Brown: First and foremost, as with all Righteous Brisket shows, you can expect to have a really good time. Aaron understands how hard we worked to get ourselves to the point where we were ready to play as a trio and he wants us to have our moment of glory to show our fans that we can do it, so we're going to play most of the show in that configuration.
Aaron will be there to celebrate with us though and don't be surprised if we pull him up on stage to help us out for a song. Also, we're excited to be playing some new music. One is an original that is the most collaboratively written of all of our songs. Aaron sent us an mp3 of an idea he had for a song so John and I took that and wrote the rest of the song around it.
Jake took what we did, rearranged a few things and added some parts and then John and I co-wrote the lyrics. It's a tune called "Drive-By Lover" and we can't wait to debut you it on the 19th.
Claes: With Aaron back, is it wrong to assume Righteous Brisket will be brought back up to the original 4-piece?
Brown: Absolutely not! We might make him audition to be back in the band or maybe just carry our gear for a while though. Kidding aside, when Aaron left, it took a surprising emotional toll on us both individually and collectively as we figured out how we were going to move forward with rebuilding the band.
The chemistry we have in this band is unlike any I've ever been in. In a lot of bands I've been in, we've all gotten along but there's always been one person that would either be flakey and skip rehearsals, or not do whatever tasks they were asked to help out with or act like they're too important to help carry gear etc. We don't have any of that. We all look forward to going to rehearsals because we get to hang out with guys we like, play music we like…and of course drink beer.
Call it fate, call it God, or call it whatever you want, but I refuse to believe that it's purely a coincidence that after all the struggles and trials we went through to figure out how to move forward with Righteous Brisket, we decided to become a trio and unknowingly put ourselves in a position where Aaron would return unexpectedly and he could come right back into the fold, picking up where we left off, as if he never left. I'm not trying to sound sappy but I truly believe it was meant to be.
Duer: If he passes the audition!
Claes: Being so entrenched in the Austin music scene for the last few decades, you've seen a lot of changes. What are your thoughts on the current scene?
Brown: I love Austin on a lot of levels and there's no other city I'd rather be playing music in.
A few months back I was going to a show at Emo's and after I parked, I walked by Mohawk, Stubb's, Club Deville and The Red Eyed Fly and all of them had bands playing to great crowds. Within a handful of blocks on one street, that was literally a few thousand people supporting live music and this was on a Thursday night! I've played in a lot of cities around the U.S. and I've never experienced a scene like that any place else.
I know people that complain about how nobody goes out to see bands any more, but that's just not true. I don't think it's fair to just expect that there is going to be a crowd at your shows if nobody has heard of your band; you have to earn that crowd. You start by turning your friends into actual fans of your band and then turn fans into disciples willing to tell everybody they know about your band.
Seymour: After moving to Sydney and seeing what they had to offer I'd say bands moaning about the scene here are completely taking for granted what they have. Sydney had virtually no original music scene. It was 99% cover and tribute bands. The majority of those were a couple of guys and backing tracks. The scene in Austin is amazing compared to there. The sheer number of music venues alone is a beautiful thing. I hear a lot of people bitching about too many crap bands and shady venues. My advice to them would be to get your ass in gear and be a great band that promotes so you stand out. In a sea of garbage a great band will shine and stand out….be that band! Or keep being a crappy one so the good ones stand out. There is every opportunity to do great things here for the bands that want it. Don't take that for granted!
Spelman: It does suck for new bands that there don't seem to be as many places to play as there used to be, but I'm hopeful that this fact has raised the bar so that Austin can get even closer to becoming the Great Music Capital of the World.
As far as downtown condo's and such: I'm all for limiting Urban Sprawl, but if you're moving in to the heart of the Live Music Capital of the World, you BETTER be ready to be surrounded by live music. If you don't like it, move to another part of town and let APD's finest focus on evil-doers instead of decibels. (Who put that soap box in here?)
Duer: The scene really hasn't changed much in recent years. If you want to talk about the old days, and how it's changed since then, we'll need a whole 'nother interview.
Claes: What's next for Righteous Brisket?
Brown: Some last minute rehearsing for the 5/19 show is first up but after that dust has settled, I think the most important item of business is to schedule a band trip out to the Salt Lick!
Seymour: Keepin' that '77 Trans Am hauling ass down the Texas highways!
Spelman: Despite what I said earlier, I wouldn't mind a doing a tour of the Greater Lockhart and Luling area. And if we got to play a show or two while we're there, even better!
Duer: Another record, I hope. And a sold-out show on May 19th at the Red Eyed Fly!

After a few days of testing on the MacDolphins site without any issues, I have decided to go ahead and release v1.32.931. There are no changes between this build and the beta build except the version number and the removal of the beta tag.
The primary feature in this update is new SQL which addresses performance problems when working with user data, particularly when is relates to swimmers. The Job Commitment Report was particularly noticeable in how slow it was (4-5 minutes) if it completed at all. The SQL addresses that performance problem however since it used extensively across the plugin I wanted to make sure I hadn't broken something else.
You can find the update on the Download & Installation page or in the WordPress Plugin Repository.

Managed a percussion store in Solana beach and ran a teaching program with drum,bass, and guitar students. Also taught part time there.
6-8 hours a day on Saturdays, and some other eves at home .
Guitar Workshop Plus is a program designed for aspiring musicians of all ages to promote the growth and development of musical knowledge. Our program is unique in that we cater our instruction to the student's personal style, level of experience, and musical goals. We create a healthy, non-competitive, and supportive environment in which to learn. Each day consists of morning and afternoon classes that involve a hands-on approach, late afternoon clinics, ensemble performances, and evening concerts. Students will also enjoy visits from world-class guest artists and have many performance opportunities. The complete immersion in music allows students to walk away with enough material and musical ideas to last until next year.
Gary is a very talented drummer. He has performed with my band, The Flounders for over seven years. From local venues, private parties and corporate events, he always professional and provides the coolest grooves. I have heard him play with other bands/styles and I am amazed by his versatility.
I've admired Gary's drumming for years. I've heard him play jazz, Latin, and uncategorizable (my favorite) kind of music. It's always sounded advanced and knowledgeable but at the same time "musical" if you know what I mean. I've heard virtuoso play highly sophisticated. complicated, impressive stuff that just didn't sound "musical". Gary never falls prey to that problem. I'd hire him for my band except I'm a drummer myself. Even though I've been playing for many years I knew there was much to learn from Gary so I signed up for a lesson. I was not disappointed. He gave me some great pointers and perspective. If you're looking for a lesson with a great sounding, knowledgeable drummer give Gary a shot. Plus he's one hell-of-a nice guy!
For over 40 years I've seen Gary in many different music situations, many styles played with the best musicians around, and because of the musicians he's played with he knows the styles with depth and knowledge.
He's been a bandleader, sideman, produced music, session man, teacher.....and having run a drum shop knows the "sonic" side of drumming which is crucial, because having a great sound is half the battle and gives drummers the advantage.
I'm a professional bass player and I've worked with Gary for many years in various situations, playing various styles. He's an excellent musician and a joy to be around. He is the consummate professional and always striving to improve. I'm sure that these characteristics carry over to his teaching and I highly recommend him.

A new era begins with geospatially based aviation
January 6, 2020 - By William Tewelow, GISP
At any given moment, more than 5,000 airplanes are flying over the United States. In a single year, nearly 778 million passengers will take to the skies — more than twice the population of the U.S., and the number increases each year. Aviation is the safest form of transportation. It is 100 times safer than driving. For every 100 traffic deaths, only one aviation related fatality occurs; and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is working hard to make aviation even safer.
The U.S. Air Traffic Control system in action. (Images: FAA)
Safety is the FAA's primary focus. The FAA Strategic Plan FY 2019– 2022 states its mission is to provide the safest, most efficient aviation system in the world. To achieve this goal, the FAA is implementing several initiatives. The technical aspects of these efforts fall under a framework called NextGen designed to modernize the nation's air traffic control system. NextGen began in 2003 in the VISION 100 – Century of Aviation Reauthorization Act. At its core, NextGen is a geospatial framework with satellite navigation as its backbone.
The Geospatial Data Act (GDA) became law when President Trump signed the FAA Reauthorization on Oct. 5, 2018. You might have wondered how the GDA came to be included in the bill. It makes sense in the context of technology advancements towards a smart transportation network, specifically in aviation.
The smart transportation concept integrates all forms of transportation to provide economic and environmental benefits as well as increase safety and reduce wait times and congestion. A large part of smart transportation is based on geographic information technology. The aviation component of this smart transportation initiative falls within the FAA's authority under the overarching framework named NextGen.
NextGen is an integrated concept improving the efficiency and safety of flight operations both on the ground and in the air. The use of geospatial technology enables precision time-management for controlling air traffic. The system allows each airplane to digitally coordinate with other aircraft in the area, taking into account such things as terrain and other known hazards to safely reroute air traffic as necessary. The FAA refers to this as trajectory-based operations. Those with a knowledge of GIS will recognize it as four dimensional: it calculates direction, speed, distance and time relative to position in x-y-z, and coordinates that information with other known data. Additionally, the system uses historical flight data and predictive analytics to maximize airspace for routing air traffic such as what is experienced during the holidays.
NextGen also uses a system called Optimal Profile Descents (OPD), which allows an airplane to trim its engines and descend along a glide slope from flight level into the airport. The point at which a plane begins its descent is a geospatial calculation to determine the precise point in space for the airplane based upon its altitude, weight, glide slope and distance to the airport. The benefits of OPD are reduced engine noise, fuel savings, less carbon emissions and a positive economic impact. NextGen is an across-the-board win for the airline industry, airline passengers, the economy and the environment.
According to an interview with Michael Whitaker, former deputy administrator of the FAA who was the Chief NextGen Officer, NextGen revolutionizes aviation by enabling digital data communication. It replaces radar-based navigation and tracking with satellite-based air traffic control. The cornerstone of NextGen is the Automated Dependent Surveillance Broadcast (ADS-B) system.
ADS-B is an aviator's version of Waze, but with a lot more information. ADS-B(out) broadcasts an airplane's Flight ID, ICAO Code, speed and location in three-dimensional space to air traffic controllers and to everyone who is equipped with ADS-B(in). The combination of ADS-B(out) and ADS-B(in) greatly increases situational awareness for aviators. On Jan. 1, 2020, all airplanes operating in controlled airspace needed to have ADS-B(out) installed. ADS-B transforms the entire National Airspace System into a satellite-based geospatial network. It integrates multiple sources of real-time data, such as weather, pilot reports, aircraft positions, 3D airspace information, and other sources of data, which can be overlaid on top of various basemaps and terrain elevation models, allowing pilots to make more informed and safer decisions.
Switching to ADS-B opens up more capacity in already crowded skies by decreasing the required vertical and horizontal separation distances between aircraft. At Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, the busiest airport in the world, changing to performance-based operations allowed 8 to 12 more departures per hour; and in Memphis International Airport, one of the busiest airports for cargo operations, arrivals increased by 20%.
Rune Duke, senior director of government affairs, Airspace, Air Traffic and Aviation Security for the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA), said that ADS-B will allow much faster update rates for air traffic controllers on the order of once every second, compared to legacy radar systems that report positions every 8 to 12 seconds. For an airplane traveling at 350 knots, that is about 1 mile. A lot can change in a mile in densely packed airspace.
If you are reading this because of your love of maps and aviation, then I highly recommend the FlightAware and ForeFlight smartphone apps. FlightAware turns the phone into an ADS-B(in) receiver showing the location and flightpath of each aircraft in the immediate area on a basemap. I sit on my back deck and watch airplanes coming and going because I live under the flightpaths for Dulles International Airport, Reagan International Airport, Leesburg Executive Airport, the Montgomery County Airpark and the TERPZ waypoint. On occasion I see helicopters flying to Camp David because I am under that flight path as well.
So, I get to see a variety of aircraft. You can select the airplane icon to see information such as aircraft type, airline, Flight ID, departing and arrival airports, altitude, and groundspeed. Even more information is available by selecting the pop-up window. This is ADS-B information. ForeFlight, on the other hand, is a pilot's flight bag on a tablet.
In the future, ADS-B will integrate Aircraft Hazardous Areas (AHA): temporary no-fly zones due to commercial space launches. Because of ADS-B, planes will automatically reroute around the AHA, and when the AHA expires, airplanes will be routed back through the area.
A remote tower center. (Photo: SAAB)
ADS-B supports evolving technologies such as remote towers, another significant change to air traffic control. Remote towers allow air traffic controllers to be at a location other than the actual airfield. Remote towers use a suite of sensors mounted at the airfield, including high-definition video, thermal and night vision that can be combined with the digital information provided by ADS-B, all of which is displayed on widescreen panels in a room duplicating the experience of being at the airport and directing aircraft. This allows smaller airports that cannot afford the huge expense of building and staffing an air traffic control tower to be part of a remote tower network. One remote tower center will be able to support several airfields. Leesburg Executive Airpark recently finished successful testing of one of the first remote tower operations in the United States.
"Over the next 10 years, we are going to see logistics and transportation open up, from being limited by currently rigid road infrastructure to operating on fully flexible and responsive aerial transportation networks," said Patrick Watson, director of business development for Animal Dynamics.
The envisioned Platform Unmanned Cargo Aircraft. (Photo: PUCA)
ADS-B will also support the integration of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) into the airspace, specifically unmanned cargo aircraft (UCA). In the not too distant future, carrier air fleets without pilots or aircrew will be taking to the skies. UCAs do not require crews, so there will be no need for water, toilets, sewage containment, kitchens or a cockpit (in the traditional sense). Taking those out will allow for more space in the plane to carry cargo and fuel. Plus, without crews on board, there will be no time restrictions on crew hours — planes will be able stay aloft longer and travel further. ADS-B greatly enables the success of this technology.

Now that we have a backyard full of fruit trees and Vegetables it is time we discussed getting them pollinated and how best to do that. It is one thing to have fruit trees in your backyard but it's another getting fruit on them. If you don't do anything about attracting pollinators you are really leaving it up to a bit of luck, and if luck is not on your side then you are not going to get a lot of fruit. You need to attract pollinators before and after the trees blossom.
As a Bee Keeper myself I can tell you first hand having a hive in your backyard is an incredible thing to have and the difference it makes is huge. Bees are truly an amazing thing to have in your backyard whether you have a hive or not. It is extremely important to the success of your edible garden knowing what a vital job our pollinators have to do. Have you ever considered having your own bee hive in the backyard? The idea might not be appealing at first but once you get one, you wouldn't have it any other way.
Regardless of whether or not you have a bee hive in your backyard, it is very important that you always plant lots of flowering plants amongst your vegetables and fruit trees to attract bees and all of the other pollinators. Birds also do a fine job on pollination. It's intriguing that, when planting vegetables, a lot of gardeners don't plant flowers as they do all of the other important things like improving the soil with manures, composting, mulching, liquid fertilising and soil conditioning. They don't attract pollinators, the very thing that is necessary for fruit production.
If you or members of your family are allergic to bees then obviously it would not be ideal to have a hive. There are local council rules regulations that you must abide by to have a hive as well, along with the code of ethics from the DPI (the Department of Environment and Primary Industries) which also suggests that you have two metre high fences so that the bees are forced to fly higher than humans as they leave the hive. There is an enormous difference in crop yield of up to three times of what you would have without a hive. Either way, you need to attract as many bees as you can.
Pollination is the movement of male pollen to the female part of the flower (stigma), the first step in successful seed and fruit production by the plant. Once the plant has been pollinated, the male contribution fuses with the egg in the ovary, the process known as fertilisation. After fertilisation, the fruit and seeds develop and mature. Although the male parts and female parts usually reside in a single flower, plants often have elaborate mechanisms to prevent self-fertilisation. In some species the stigma of the flower ripens first, before the anthers are shedding pollen. Thus, it can be fertilised only by pollen brought from an older flower. In other plants, the opposite is true. The pollen is mature and shed before the stigma ripens. Other plants, such as squashes or watermelons, have separate male and female flowers. A few plants, such as mulberry or olive, have separate male plants and female plants. Some plants, for example grasses, produce light pollen grains that may be carried by the wind or water from plant to plant. Other plants need help from insects, birds, or bats for successful pollination. Without this assistance, fruit and/or seeds would not be formed. In fact, about two thirds of the food Australians eat is the direct result of pollination by insects, and a very large part of that is the result of pollination carried out by the European Honey Bee.
Honey bees fly up to two kilometres from their hive to collect pollen and nectar, so as you can imagine if you have a hive at home they don't have to work very hard at all to pollinate whatever is flowering at your place. The fantastic bonus is that you also get floral honey from them, which is often the sweetest honey of them all. There are a number of businesses out there who will host a hive at your place so if you are not interested in becoming an apiarist (a bee keeper) then this may be an option for you. Most of the companies will leave you a little honey for your trouble and of course you get great pollination.
As an apiarist and having a hive in my backyard it has made me very aware of how fragile they are and how heavily we rely upon them for much of the food we eat. It reminds me every day just how important not spraying and using chemicals around my backyard rather use companion planting and more natural sprays like chilli and garlic and the others we have discussed in the book. Australia is the only country that does not have the Verroa Mite. Attack by varroa mite weakens bees, shortens their lives, or causes death from virus infections that would otherwise cause little harm. In severely attacked colonies bees may have stunted wings, missing legs or other deformities. So whatever I can do to maintain a healthy hive I do and I tell as many people as I can to consider using alternate methods whilst gardening as our bees are in enough trouble without the chemicals.
Colony collapse disorder is also another problem that the world's bees have to contend with it is still not entirely clear exactly what causes it but here is some of what we know. Bees collect pollen and nectar form flowers that occasionally get sprayed with pesticides and other chemicals which they take back to the hive to make honey with. They store it and, over the winter months when the ground freezes in Europe and parts of the world where foraging is too cold, the honey bee uncap's what it has stored and eats it. With the honey it eats it gets what appear to be lethal doses from chemicals that they have mixed in with the honey during the process. So as you can see we need to change our ways and re-think what we are using on our food! I can assure that having bees in a back yard increases the food production off the charts and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Bees account for 87% of all pollination of our food. If the bee disappears from the Earth we only have four years left to live.
Australia is the only country left that does not have the Varroa mite that kills bees.
Household sprays contribute to Colony Collapse Disorder in bee hives.
Honey bees literally work themselves to death.
Queens are twice the size of all the other bees.
The queen bee can live for up to three to five years.
Drones are male and do nothing but mate with the queen and cannot sting.
The worker bees are female and only live for six weeks.
The average worker bee produces about one-twelfth of a teaspoon of honey in her lifetime.
It takes nearly forty-eight bees their entire lifetime to make two tablespoons of honey.
There are sixteen kinds of honey bees.
A bee hive swarms every year in spring to found a new colony when a new queen is born.

Scout Report: Pedro Clerot

The inaugural Brazilian F4 champion won races with three different cars in a single season and rose above the opposition in a championship designed to level the field. Luis Ferrari speaks to the rising star
When promoters launched the Brazilian Formula 4 championship, it was no secret that the developing series had the goal to offer equal chances to all. Drivers were allocated to four teams, the new Tatuus F4 T-021 machines also were distributed randomly among them, the pole-sitter's set-up was shared after each round, the race one results were reversed for the grid of race two, cars were meant to be redistributed through the field at the season's halfway point and testing was restricted.
Not by chance, at the Interlagos season finale there were five out of the 13 drivers who had raced every previous round still with a chance of being runner-up to champion Pedro Clerot.
But the 15-year-old Brasilia-born driver stood apart, having secured the inaugural crown at Goiania with a round to spare, in spite of the equality-seeking restrictions set out in the sporting regulations.
Behind the success of the Full Time Sports driver and Lewis Hamilton fan there was a great amount of planning.
Once Clerot decided to compete in Brazilian F4, he wanted to be as prepared as he could. With just one year of open-wheel racing in halo-shod grassroots open-wheel category Formula Delta in 2021, where he broke national age records by competing and winning aged just 14, he was optimistic after three wins in 14 races there and the championship runner-up spot. But also quite aware that a F4 move would represent a formidable jump.
So he went to Europe and looked for testing opportunities, as the Brazilian F4 championship would only start in May.
"I managed to drive both the previous-generation Tatuus [F4 car] and the new one. It was important, so I could understand where the car improved," Clerot tells Formula Scout.

Once the season started, he and his engineer Eduardo Bassani were ahead of the competition in terms of developing the car. He won with every lap led in two of the three races in the opening round at Autodromo Velocitta, and had a nearly perfect round two at Interlagos, winning races one and three from pole and finishing second in the reversed-grid race two.
His dominance in the final race, with a winning margin of 9.880 seconds margin in 17 laps, motivated promotors to bring forward the first rotation of cars to the next round, one week later. A draw was done and the cars went to their new teams straight from parc ferme.
Clerot was 0.036s shy of race three pole in round three, but secured the top grid spot for race one with his second fastest qualifying lap. With his 'new' car, Clerot once more prevailed with a grand chelem (victory, pole, fastest lap and all laps led). At the halfway point of the championship, his worse results were two fourth places in the less valuable reversed-grid races.
"His consistence made a huge difference," says Bassani. "I was impressed with Clerot's maturity since the first time we spoke on the phone and when we came to work together at track his sharpness providing feedback to the team was remarkable.
"He is never telling us what to do, like raising wings, giving more, less camber or other changes. He is very accurate in reporting how he feels the car rolling and trust his engineer and mechanics to sort it out the way they believe will improve performance. By doing so, we developed a trust relationship that was critical during the rest of the season, as the other drivers were catching up," adds the Full Time Sports crew chief.
That was crucial in the next round, when the series went back to Velocitta. Clerot was 0.316s away from the pole and Bassani decided a radical set-up change before the race.
"Because of data sharing, we knew exactly what the adversaries were doing, so we copied their car adjustments, which was in an opposite direction of our development line since day one. There was no time to test it and Pedro embraced the call. He adapted the way he had driven before and won again."
Then they went to Goiania, where the cars were redistributed between teams again. This time Clerot got his worse vehicle of the year, a car that had been crashed some times before. But once again he managed to win one of the three races, and was able to celebrate winning the title when he took to the top spot of the podium in race three.
By doing so, Clerot became the only driver to win with three different chassis, and the only one to win on all three of the tracks used in the series. He finished the season with seven wins and 11 podiums from a 18-race championship.
"Apart from the special time we had in Brazil, I also learned a lot racing in Europe, both in Italian F4 races and the FIA Motorsport Games, when I got to race a different car," states Clerot. He feels ready to move to a full-time season in Europe in 2023, and Bassani is positive that Clerot will fight for the Spanish F4 crown next year.
Clerot has signed with MP Motorsport and says that the success the Dutch-based team had with his countrymen, like reigning Formula 2 champion Felipe Drugovich and FIA Formula 3 race winner Caio Collet were considered in his decision. "Also they run programs from F4 to F2, so I believe it will be a great environment to develop a long-term relationship."
On his choice to go to Spain instead of Italy, the location of Europe's other major F4 series and where Clerot did two weekends this year (the first just before the Brazilian opener and therefore marking his F4 race debut) with AKM Motorsport under the tutelage of his Pro Racing manager Marco Cioci, he says that both are great series.
"But I understood that in Italy there is a bigger gap between teams. In Spain there were qualifying session with 0.15s spreading the top eight drivers. Also in Spain there are less cars in the field, so probably there will be less time spent under yellow or red flags during practices and races, which will give me a better time to develop. That's my plan and I believe in it."
Considering the way he planned his 2022 season and how it progressed, there is ground to trust the inaugural Brazilian F4 champion's long-term vision.
