Earlier this year three members of the group hinted at a possible 20th anniversary gig.
Two members of the Spice Girls, Geri Horner (née Halliwell) and Emma Bunton, have been in the recording studio together this week.
Music producer Eliot Kennedy, who frequently worked with the group during their '90s heyday, has previously confirmed that Bunton, Horner and bandmate Melanie Brown have been working on new music.
He told ITV's Good Morning Britain earlier this year: "We wrote a brilliant song and the energy was exactly like it was 20 years ago, just as enthusiastic, just as much to say, just as much to celebrate.
"I think they have something to do with way female artists are perceived in the pop charts nowadays, I think they've had a massive effect on pop music and pop culture, so it's a good time to celebrate," he added.
In July, to mark the 20th anniversary of the group's debut single 'Wannabe', Emma Bunton, Horner and Brown posted a video on YouTube in which they hinted at a possible comeback gig.
"You've stood by us for 20 years, and we want to say a big thank you," Horner says in the video. "And we want to celebrate and have a party. And when we do, you're all invited," Brown adds.

Meanwhile, their former bandmate Melanie Chisholm has explained why, like Victoria Beckham, she has opted out of the potential reunion.


It is no surprise that we get rave reviews from organisations and people who we work with. Our friendly yet professional approach allows us to work with clients across industries and levels, whether it's through our coaching, consultancy or training services.
But do not just take our word for it! Here's what some people we work with have to say about us.
" We have worked with Joseph on a large-scale UK-wide recruitment project following a contract that 3SC won. His unique insight into the psychometric tests he interpreted clearly and easily identified the potential of our candidates in relation to the competencies we were looking for. Throughout this project the work was carried out in an extremely professional and timely manner and we have now used his services repeatedly. On another occasion Joseph also designed and delivered our team-building day and helped my staff members think and act on their development plans. The insight that he has provided 3SC in this process has been invaluable and we would highly recommend Joseph's services to other organisations."
" Following the programme you delivered for us I would like to thank you for your inspirational approach and motivational advice. I truly appreciate your support during all times and thank you for going out of your way by sharing with us your expertise and high level review and guidance which we would have never learnt from textbooks and reference books. I truly mean it when I say this is one of my best learning experiences and I really admire your passion and seriousness in leading and managing this development program. I attended many programmes worldwide and I often feel like neither facilitators nor student are serious about it. But this experience is really different and big thanks go to you."
"We have used Smarter Learning for a number of recruitment and training purposes. Joseph helped us with the administration and interpretation of psychometric testing and his insight was invaluable. He easily understood our requirements and was very proactive in finding solutions that matched our HR needs. Furthermore, thanks to his friendly yet professional approach, Joseph easily engaged with our stakeholders across the entire organisation."
" Joseph completely revolutionised our training. He brought in web based training sessions, with measurable targets and goals. He set up regular training sessions for managers as well as new staff. He re-wrote all existing training material and developed extensive new material. He sought and gained feedback on a regular basis from his 'trainees'. He initiated training for staff on new client procedures and he developed training for our clients as well. His sessions were clear, easy to understand, and universally popular. Joseph was dedicated to his work and carried it out to a very high standard. His real stand out quality, though, is his incredibly positive attitude, which has a beneficial effect on everyone he comes into contact with. He is a pleasure to work with!"
" I have worked with Joseph on a number of projects including delivering workshops and providing consultancy services. I have found Joseph and Smarter Learning's approach extremely professional and refreshing. Joseph's ability to develop relationships quickly with clients is certainly one of his many key strengths! I would certainly recommend their services to anyone interested in training and coaching."
"Joseph's skill very much cantered around assisting me to identify what I wanted to achieve, with clarity, and how I can achieve that. With the demands and commitments that we all have, it was very helpful to be guided through this to identify what is important and how to stay focussed."
" Joseph helped me focus on what I need to do in order to reach my goals at work and achieve better life balance. He was able to summarise what I was saying clearly and to feed this back to me. I now feel much less panicked about my large workload."
" I have Joseph to thank for. He supported my career move into a new managerial job, which felt very scary for me at the time. He understood my concerns and gave me that space that I needed to talk my ideas through. I am now more confident and successful in my role. "
" It is with Joseph's help and guidance that I am now able to speak confidently in public. We worked together on my presentation and public speaking skills. Joseph is compassionate, committed and made me feel relaxed and comfortable from the first meeting."
" The coaching was absolutely fantastic! I could not recommend Joseph more highly as an experienced executive coach. I was slightly skeptical at first and there were times when I had to truly have some serious honest discussions with myself but Joseph was always there supporting me. He was completely non-judgemental and made me feel listening to. He is an exceptional person"
" The power of Joseph's coaching is his ability to ask that question that you know you need to ask yourself but you never do. That is only the beginning though - after I answered that question Joseph helped me put in place a clear self-development plan. Three months later I still find myself thinking about our coaching conversations.. "

List of terms related to Non-gonococcal urethritis
Non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU) is an inflammation of the urethra which is not caused by gonorrheal infection.
The symptoms of urethritis can include pain or a burning sensation upon urination (dysuria), a white/cloudy discharge and a feeling that one needs to pass urine frequently; however, there are often no symptoms.
Urethritis can be caused by a number of organisms, including Neisseria gonorrheae, Chlamydia trachomatis, Ureaplasma urealyticum, Mycoplasma genitalium, Trichomonas vaginalis, Herpes simplex virus, and Candida albicans, and by a number of non-infectious causes, including urethral stricture, foreign bodies, trauma, Reiter's syndrome, and various autoimmune and allergic conditions.
Of these many causes, the vast preponderance of cases are due to either gonorrhea or chlamydia. It is currently estimated that 50% of NGU cases are caused by chlamydia, with the remainder due to other causes.
Historically, it has been easy to test for the presence of gonorrhea by viewing a Gram's stain of the urethral discharge under a microscope: the causative organism is distinctive in appearance. Thus, one of the major causes of urethritis can be identified by a simple common test, and the distinction between gonococcal and non-gonococcal urethritis arose historically for this reason.
Identifying chlamydia, the other major cause of urethritis, has required more sophisticated technology, but is now more widely available. These two tests combined identify the cause of most treatable forms of urethritis. If tests for gonorrhea and chlamydia are negative, and the cause of the urethritis has not been otherwise identified, the term non-specific urethritis (NSU) is used. The terms "NGU" and "NSU" are sometimes used inconsistently, but these are the most common meanings in the modern era of treatment.
Treatment is based on the prescription and use of the proper antibiotics depending on the strain of the ureaplasma.
Because of its multi-causative nature, initial treatment strategies involve using a broad range antibiotic that is effective against chlamydia (such as doxycycline). It is imperative that both the patient and any sexual contacts are treated. Women who are infected with the organisms that cause NGU may develop pelvic inflammatory disease. If symptoms persist, follow-up with a urologist may be necessary to identify the cause.
If left untreated, complications include epididymitis and infertility. Consistent and correct use of latex condoms during sexual activity greatly reduces the likelihood of infection.

David is a de la Riva black belt, so for his first class at the UK BJJ Globetrotter camp, he decided to talk about passing his instructor's famous eponymous guard. To start with some basics, when they insert their de la Riva hook, lower your base to stop them elevating you. You then want to get rid of any grips they've got, whether that's on the foot (grab the hand and pull up), the sleeve (roll your wrist over the top) or wherever. To pop their original hook off, turn your foot out and point your knee.
If they have a grip on the trouser leg, you can still turn your foot, so it isn't as much of a problem. A grip on the heel stops that, as they can pull the heel in towards them. There is a weak direction, however, if you can kick forwards. When they are tight to you, kicking forwards is blocked by their body. It is still possible to kick past their bum, freeing your foot that way. Bring it to you a little first, then scrape the leg past their bum. A pass around their leg then presents itself.
Even if they have de la Riva, with a leg drag, you may be able to crush straight through their hook. You might also be able to pop their hook off by simply straightening your leg explosively, if turning your knee outwards isn't viable. Yet another option is to give up on the pass and attack their leg instead, with a calf crush.
IBJJF rules don't let you do anything fun with the leg until brown belt, but that's only one ruleset, so you don't have to restrict yourself to that (as long as your partners are ok with leglocks). Personally leg locks terrify me so I never use them, but they're very effective and important to know, as people will do them to you (especially if you're brown belt or above, of course).
They have a deep de la Riva hook. Push their hooking knee down, roll through, your shoulder diving underneath their other leg, then extend for the submission. I wasn't entirely successful getting this, but it's useful to know that's a danger with the deep de la Riva: perhaps keep hold of their sleeves to stop them getting their leg lock position?


Of all the breakfasts of champions, a nice chewy bagel and a cup of Joe can really hit the spot. There is just something about the combination of those two items that screams - dating website! Wait, what?
Yep. In case you haven't had your fill of all of the other dating websites, a new contender is coming to Houston, and it gets its namesake from a carb-filled breakfast on the go. Coffee Meets Bagel (CMB) is a dating website that has been around for just under a year and is staking some claim in Space City, a town known for neither its coffee nor its bagels.
OK, CMB, what do I do with you and why are you different from any other online dating platform. These are good questions that without much research, you would have no idea. Their website gives you little information aside that CMB requires you to log in with Facebook before you learn anything about the site and, if you are a paranoid, "I fear Facebook is taking over the world and selling my information to secret Soviet spies that are still holding out from the Cold War," than that's about as far as you can go with this dating site.
If you throw caution to the wind and give up all of your friends as quickly as Elia Kazan did before the House of UnAmerican Activities, then by all means, proceed with this dating service.
Once you have signed up for the service, which I should mention is free, you set up a profile and then you wait... Every day at noon, you will receive an email, which sounds rather Murder She Wrote-esque to me. The email will contain the profile of a "bagel," a guy or gal similar to you, looking for a good schmeer. You then have 24 hours to accept this bagel or pass and go for something less caloric like a protein bar or banana lest it explodes 'a la Mission Impossible. If you like the bagel, you are connected via a knife and one of those small containers of cream cheese that Starbucks recently started charging you for.
Then you get some digits and you go to town. I think. As I already mentioned, the CMB website lacks any real information but does have a huge image of a multiracial couple having an amazing time on a Vespa, so there's that.
As I've gathered, the major difference between this site and others of its kind is that there's no profile stalking and random messages from strangers. Where you might have met the guy of your dreams by scrolling through pages of profiles, the CMB site does the work for you and sets you up on these bagel-blind-dates, so to speak. So you'll never be privy to unexplainable messages sent to your inbox such as this one (just sent to a good friend of mine this week) Hi! My name is super easy to stalk.
According to CMB, the benefit to being a part of their community is that they don't share your information. Just all of your Facebook profile, that's it.
And let's talk about the Facebook angle. One of the ways CMB matches you up is through your connections. Perhaps you have a friend in common with one of your Facebook buddies, you might be paired up. Do they look at similar likes/dislikes, etc.? I hope so or else why bother stealing your Facebook information? But again, I cannot tell you the answer to that because their website is so poorly designed.
Will you know who the person is that you have in common via Facebook? There's the rub. You can find this information out, but you have to pay for it. They call it purchasing "beans," and through these beans you can buy info on your potential date. In other words, you can still stalk other members' profiles, you just have to fork over some cash for that ability. Is it just me, or is paying to stalk someone even more creepy than doing it for free?
Unlike some other dating sites, CMB has a higher percentage of women users -- 58 percent compared to 36 percent industry average -- which could be due to its female focus and/or the kitchy bagel/coffee bean branding. But I would not tout that fact; that's just less mens for the pickin'.
It's hard, I know. Meeting someone in this day and age takes creativity and persistence. Why finding your true love is so much more difficult in the digital age than 10 or 20 years ago is beyond me. I think there are just more choices for finding love and no one wants to settle. When our parents were of dating age, they met someone at school, lost their virginities and called it a day. Now, we need to find our true soul mate, the person that loves all of our favorite movies, bands, makes us laugh and looks good in a pair of skinny jeans, and that has turned into a very lucrative business. Coffee Meets Bagel may be a slightly new spin on a tired approach, but it feels the same.
No, it feels worse because you can't tell anything about the site unless you fork over all of your private Facebook information, and that's smellier than a bagel slathered in whitefish salad. And whitefish salad is delicious.

King County likely to move back to COVID reopening phase 2, public health director says
Comments Off on King County likely to move back to COVID reopening phase 2, public health director says
King County should plan on being moved back to the second phase of Washington's three-phase COVID-19 reopening plan, forcing restaurants, churches, gyms, museums and theaters to trim their capacity, the county's director of public health said Tuesday.
The possible backslide comes as case numbers and hospitalizations continue to rise in King County and statewide, amid what Gov. Jay Inslee last week called the state's fourth wave of the pandemic.
Under Inslee's newest reopening plan, announced in January and amended in March, counties are assessed every three weeks to make sure they're meeting virus benchmarks.
Counties are due for their next assessment on Monday.
"I wanted to alert the council that barring something different coming from the governor, that we should expect that the announcement next week will be that King County will be moved back to phase two," Patty Hayes, director of Public Health – Seattle & King County, told the Metropolitan King County Council Tuesday. "We might as well just get prepared for that and not just wait."
Inslee's office made no commitments.
Tara Lee, an Inslee spokesperson, said the decision would be made on Monday and would include data from the weekend. She also said that if counties see concerning trends, they have the option of moving themselves back a phase at any time, without waiting for the state. No counties have done that so far.
"We are concerned about rising numbers in all parts of Washington and people should continue to wear a mask, physically distance, take activities outside and get vaccinated," Lee said.
King County is currently above the thresholds for large counties for both reported coronavirus cases and for hospitalizations for COVID-19, the illness caused by the coronavirus.
As of Tuesday morning, the county was showing 229 coronavirus cases per 100,000 residents over the last 14 days, and 5.5 new COVID-19 hospitalizations per 100,000 residents over the last seven days. To stay in the third phase, large counties are supposed to be under 200 cases per 100,000 residents and under five hospitalizations.
As cases subsided in March, Inslee moved the entire state to phase 3, allowing restaurants to fill half their indoor tables for the first time in a year and allowing the Mariners to play in front of (limited) crowds.
But since then, cases have been increasing.
Earlier this month, Inslee moved Pierce, Cowlitz and Whitman counties back to the second phase.
In King County, Hayes said the rising numbers come not from any specific cause, but a general increase in people's activity. The number of cases remains highest in South King County, she said, "we're actually seeing a range of upticks throughout the county."
The increase in cases comes as public health officials race to increase vaccinations.
Case counts are increasing fastest in age groups where, because of past eligibility requirements, people are less likely to be vaccinated. Case counts are largest in the 30 to 50 age group, Hayes said, but they're also seeing spikes in illness in younger people.
Vaccinations, which are free and do not require health insurance, are open to everyone age 16 and over.
Nearly 40% of King County residents, age 16 and up, are now fully vaccinated, Hayes said, and 61% have had at least one shot.
A move back to phase 2 would mean restaurants and many other indoor businesses would have to cut back to 25% capacity, from the 50% they're currently allowed.
Looking at statewide metrics, Anthony Anton, president and CEO of the Washington Hospitality Association, estimated that perhaps six other counties would also be rolled back.
"It's just more tough news in a tough 14-month window," Anton said. "This is going to hurt."
Councilmember Rod Dembowski worried that the economics wouldn't work for many restaurants and they'd have to lay off people who may have just recently returned to work.
"That just could be devastating for a lot of workers and businesses," he said.
Councilmember Kathy Lambert said the news of a possible backslide, coming on the same day the federal government loosened mask guidance for people who are vaccinated, struck a discordant note.
"It's confusing to say OK, you can take your mask off but we're going backwards and the phases are getting more restrictive," Lambert said. "People's patience is getting short on this."

Coach Perez Also Awarded East L.A. Sports Scene's "Coach of The Year" Honors
(East Los Angeles/Boyle Heights)—The CIF/L.A. City Section's, Boys Varsity Basketball, Division II "Coach of the Year" honors have been awarded to Mario Perez, Roosevelt High School. Coach Perez, completing his eighth year as Head Coach of the Rough Riders, took his heavily branded "underdog" team to a miraculous finish of the 2020 Eastern League by playing solid and fundamental basketball, in defeating foes, Legacy, Huntington Park, and ending with their gigantic rivalry win over the Garfield Bulldogs at home on 2/7. This gave them a (7-5) league record and a fourth place standing in League play. They ended their regular season with an overall record of (16-10). This finishing win spree earned his team an #11 seed in the CIF/L.A. City Section's Division II playoff tournament. Another significant resumé note to Coach's portfolio this season are the following MaxPreps rankings, State (CA) #321 and National #3,918.
Editor's Note: This posting contains (5) post-game video interviews with Coach Perez as well as a short photo gallery. Please share this piece as widely as possible with your social media network contacts.

In prepping for their post-season, the Rough Riders became focused on making a run for the Division II title, opening with a surprising 1st round "Road" win over John F. Kennedy/Valley Mission League. That was followed by the startling quarterfinal "Road" win over #3 seed, Hamilton/Western League, and then an incredible semifinal win over #2 seed, Francis Poly/East Valley League at a neutral court, Palisades HS. This set the stage for the 2/29 title game versus Eastern League, 2nd place finisher and fellow member school, #4 seed, South East. Heads were turned and doubters were made believers as Coach "MP" (as affectionately called by his players) and his team went on to a four game playoff sweep to proudly claim the Division II Championship that was played at Los Angeles Southwest Community College.
With that extraordinarily historical win, the Riders' overall record jumped to a much-respected, (20-10) and yet another season- extending week still up ahead. Next, it was off to the prestigious CIF/Southern Section's Division V, State Championship Tournament. Due to the dominant way they secured the CIF/L.A. City Section title, when the State pairings were published, the Rough Riders were rewarded with a #2 seed, right behind the Eastside HS Lions from Lancaster, CA. To their great delight, Coach Perez and his Riders, were accorded the home court advantage in their bracket throughout the playoffs, as long as they won each game, of course.
With this now in mind, Coach "MP" began to prepare his team, not as an underdog any longer, but as the favorite, giving him the opportunity to mentally prepare his squad as the team to beat in this tournament.
First up was Cathedral City/Riverside County, followed by Bishop Diego/Santa Barbara County, and finally, by Delano/Kern County. All three were defeated on the Riders home court and all before high school's "March Madness" equivalent of sell-out crowds, and a solid media presence.
The final obstacle awaiting the Rough Riders to claim their first-ever State Southern Regional Championship title and a subsequent shot at the State Final, on March 14th was a game against the home team and #1 seed, the Eastside Lions, of Lancaster, CA/Ventura County.
But on March 10th, this is where the magical and dynamic season would ultimately come to a close for Coach Perez and his loyal entourage of Rough Riders (23-10), as they fell to Lions by the tight score of (53-48). Thus, after playing (34) season games, this history-making team carved out an (11) game winning streak in second half of the season, which included (7) consecutive playoff wins. They also competed in a total of three seasons all combined into one, (Regular (26 games), L.A. City Section Tourney (4 games), & State Tourney (4 games). And, when it was all said and done, Coach Perez, his outstanding Coaching Staff, and the Rough Riders had left everything on the floor—the Blood, Sweat, Tears, and most importantly their Pride for school, family, and their Boyle Heights community. And, unfortunate as it is to say, Eastside's season ended when the feared, dreaded, and life-changing (COVID-19) Coronavirus rapidly swept the world and our country, forcing all scheduled American sporting events at all levels, to end immediately.
When asked for his thoughts on earning his "Coach of the Year" award, Coach Perez, stated that…"It's a great honor to be named, and a bit overwhelming because I don't truly know what it should feel like to be awarded such a distinction. I basically coached the game the same way I learned how to play it. I always tried my best and what I learned from a few mentors and former coaches, I would try to implement at the appropriate times. I have to happily say that this was the year I was lucky that the boys put it all together. I am not even the best coach in my own family."
He went on to add…."what stood out to me, and what I will always remember will be the hard-core basics of coaching this game… like all of the time consuming, and what seems like insurmountable, things that a high school coach has to endure season-after-season. But in the end, I can now say that all of those hard times made all the hugs with players, the high-fives with students, fans, family, and those most-appreciative handshakes with emotional alumni even-more special. I was just so proud, truly happy, and sincerely glad to have been here for it."
As great and memorable season as it was for Coach Perez and his team, the final curtain has not yet been drawn concerning the rewards and awards in acknowledging the 2019-2020 Roosevelt Rough Riders Boys Varsity Basketball Team's unforgettable achievements. Up next on their own "Road To Glory," is the ordering of the team CIF/L.A. City Section Division II Championship rings for Coaching Staff, Administrators, Team Managers, and of course, all the Players. Plans are now underway to raise the required revenue through a Go Fund Me account and the sales of a commemorative T-Shirt, designed by former player and Rough Rider Alumni, Jorge Parrales, Class of 2005. We will be posting up more information as the plan takes greater shape and is made public.
Final Thoughts….Although the Coronavirus (COVID 19) has basically ended the rest of the school year for all California high schools, East L.A. Sports Scene will be waiting for the first opportunity to publicly salute Coach Mario "MP" Perez and his talented team of CIF/L.A. City Section's Division II Champions. Details will be worked out and we will ultimately inform all of our Followers and the Rough Rider Nation of the Awards program that we have in mind to honor Coach and his now highly acclaimed team.

Snubbed by the radio and music establishment, O'Rahilly devises the sweet revenge of Radio Caroline
Previous: The Days Before Rock and Roll
Next: The Glory Years
Georgie Fame and his
faithful trannie
Young Ronan O'Rahilly trucked off to London to seek his fortune. He settled into Soho and London's club land. Ray Charles was his hero. Soon Ronan was operating his own Rhythm & Blues Club. He bought the Rolling Stones their first set of stage equipment and briefly managed them together with his friend, Georgiou Gomalski, before entrepreneur Andrew Oldham snapped them up. But he still had the blues singer Alexis Korner and northerner Georgie Fame as his protégés. He was influential in the early days of Eric Burdon and the Animals even suggesting the name for the band. Live gigs at small venues were a slow way to achieve popularity, but nobody would record his artists. O'Rahilly created his own record label and paid for his own acetates. When presenting these to the BBC he learned that the Corporation only played music by established artists which begged the obvious question 'how to get established.'
At Radio Luxembourg he fared worse, station bosses laughed heartily showing him the programme schedules block booked by the major labels. Independents had no chance of air play at all. The answer? Give up his artists and hope they could be signed by a major label.
'Well,' O'Rahilly told the Luxembourg directors, 'If after managing my own artists I have to create my own record label because nobody will record them and if I then find that no radio station will play their music, it seems that the only thing now is to have my own radio station.' Radio Luxembourg thought this hugely funny and showed him the door.
Soon after, at a party, a girl told Ronan about the station Voice of America which was operating at sea from the official USA vessel the MV Courier. He gleaned information about this operation from the US Embassy and also travelled to visit Jack Kotschack, the owner of the marine station, Radio Nord and the owners of Radio Veronica an efficiently run Dutch offshore radio station. Radio law in the Netherlands was as restrictive as in the UK. In Holland as in Britain the law of the land only extended as far as territorial waters, three miles out from the coast. Beyond that lay international waters where there was no law other than that defined by the flag states of ships. A ship registered to Panama for example, whilst in international waters recognised Panamanian law. If the law of the flag state had no objection to international marine broadcasting then the ship could make broadcasts which were not illegal and could not be stopped. Even Veronica was using precedent created by earlier marine broadcasts made off the Danish and Swedish coasts. The UK however with the young population created by the post war baby boom and with burgeoning youth culture and a new pop industry had untapped potential. This was the breakthrough O'Rahilly needed and he had certain advantages to build from.
He was now mixing in the clubs and coffee bars of Soho and Chelsea with the young sons of very wealthy people. With his upbringing, large sums of money did not faze him. His family wholly owned the Irish port of Greenore, an ideal place to quietly convert a ship into a floating radio station.
He soon became aware that quite separately an Australian businessman Alan Crawford had also identified the potential of marine broadcasting to the UK. Ronan befriended him. Crawford was later to allege that O'Rahilly used his own feasibility studies to further his own plans. Ronan claims that this is absolutely not the case and that the Caroline project was well advanced before he even became aware of Crawford and his parallel business intentions. He also insists Crawford's 'Project Atlanta' ran out of funding and was rescued by his own company. On a fund raising trip to the USA he was captivated by a photograph in Life magazine showing president John F. Kennedy's daughter Caroline playing in the Oval Office of the White House and disrupting the serious business of government. This was exactly the image he wanted for his station. The name had to be Radio Caroline.
With finance in place, the ex ferry Fredericia was purchased and taken to Greenore for conversion. Crawford also accepted the offer to take his virtually complete radio ship Mi Amigo to the same port for final preparation. Whilst ostensibly helping Crawford prepare, Ronan's team took every opportunity to hamper their rivals and inevitably the Fredericia, now renamed MV Caroline sailed first.
Radio studios had been built on the upper decks behind the ships bridge. In the hold were A.C. generators connected to two 10KW medium wave (AM ) broadcast transmitters. The combined power from these was fed to a tall aerial tower near the bow of the ship.
To ensure reasonable co-operation between the two projects it was agreed Radio Caroline was to anchor in the Irish sea, broadcasting to Ireland, Scotland and the North of England. Radio Atlanta from the MV Mi Amigo was to head for the British coast off Essex, from where it would cover London and the South East. In a move that Crawford described as 'the ultimate treachery', Ronan sent his own ship south.
On 28th March 1964, with their words having been pre-recorded since they were too nervous to broadcast live, Chris Moore and the then unknown actor Simon Dee announced 'This is Radio Caroline on 199, your all day music station.'
Then a Rolling Stones record ('Not Fade Away') was played and dedicated to Ronan O'Rahilly. Caroline was on the air! The monopolies of the BBC and Luxembourg were shattered and UK radio was changed forever.

He's heartsick and battle weary.
Maverick Carson returned home from war with too much pain and not enough honor. Searching for a way to forgive and forget, he quits The TEAM. He's in Wyoming when the sight of a pretty girl atop a massive draft horse steals his breath—until the hillside gives way beneath beast and maiden. When he rushes to her aid, he runs straight into the world of China Wolf, the headstrong owner of the Wild Wolf Ranch and the owner of the finest Percherons in the country.
Never has. China Wolf has responsibility enough between the rowdy horses she loves, the wayward sister she tolerates, and the precocious niece she adores. Besides, Maverick's made it clear he'd rather hit the road. Why should she care? She doesn't—not until she glimpses the cowboy in his eyes. Maybe she needs a man after all.
So it is an established fact that I love this author and the In The Company of Snipers series, each of these characters have taken up residence in my heart and have become special 'friends' to me, as you all well know Harley being my long time favorite. That said, Irish Winters, you have ruined me with Maverick, ruined me in the very best of ways.
I went into Maverick with some trepidation, much like I did when I got my hands on Gabe's book, (yeah, these last two in the series have been hard reads) I couldn't see how you were going to make this work. These books have always been about The T.E.A.M., yes each book revolves around one couple but in the end it is always about the family that is Alex Stewarts hand picked group of dedicated, more often than not broken ex Marines and Soldiers. So when I read the synopsis, when I knew that Maverick was literally walking away from The T.E.A.M. I couldn't fathom how this would all work out. How can you take The T.E.A.M. out of the equation? I am so very happy to tell you, with out really telling you anything at all because I just don't want to give it away, that it all works and it works beautifully. Maverick's book has burrowed itself right up next to Harley's in my heart and the best part about that is how unexpected it was.
You've heard me say in the past that reading a particular book was like watching a movie and not that I couldn't see this one as a movie but there was something even more powerful about Maverick's story. It was like seeing snap shots of pictures, of having been in those moments, having lived them, breathed them, and loved in them. This book was plain and simple, visually stunning. Irish's words and descriptions roll like waves across your mind, painting pictures so clear and beautiful that I not only spent half my read with emotional tears in my eyes but also having eyes that were glassy with unshed tears from the simple beauty that was before me. The imagery was literally breath-taking to me.
"The sound of hooves on hard-packed dirt drew nearer. In seconds, galloping draft horses, their heads held high with manes tossing in the breeze, zeroed in on the gate. Most were the same reddish-brown with black manes as Star, but one was nearly pearlescent with a white mane, the dappling on its hide nearly imperceptible. A glossy, coal black fellow with a coat that glistened in the early evening light galloped in."
Not only was Irish able to take my breath away visually but emotionally I was lost to the story. Maverick will both melt and break your heart. China, what an amazing character she is. Strong, beautiful, so unbelievably caring...you fall in love with her the moment she crosses the first page and Kyrie...what a sweet baby girl, I can't even go there with you guys with out tearing up again.
Irish Winters took a risk with this one. Her evil characters are the kind of evil that makes you skin crawl, they are the kind of characters that if not done just right can ruin a book because they are so hard to comprehend, their behavior so hurtful, cruel, and ugly...if not done well they could have simply come off as unbelievable and outlandish but Irish nails it with this pair. As far as Leezel I have never both hated a character so much and wished for them to some how be 'fixed', of course only to rot in jail...but that is a whole different thing, haha. Separating a good portion of the story from The T.E.A.M. was also a big risk as well, but it truly works out beautifully and coming back to them all in the second half of the book only makes seeing them all again that much sweeter. Getting to catch up a little on each of our favorite couples and seeing them all rallying around one another just brought a smile to my face, a sorely needed one...this book is a tear jerker, but in the best kind of way.
I hope that you will pick up this book, it can be read as a stand-alone but I HIGHLY suggest reading the whole series from book 1 onward. If you chose not to you won't be disappointed, you won't be confused but you will be missing out on some wonderful moments. These books are for anyone with a love of Contemporary Romance. They are military based characters, but that doesn't always play a huge roll in each book. There is quite a bit of action and suspense and of course love....they are in the end beautiful love stories that revolve around an ever growing and wonderful family of friends!
Today instead of just leaving you with a ~ Happy Reading~ I'd like to take a moment to say thank you to all our Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, and Airmen. The men and women who have fought for our country and for their own countries are in my heart and thoughts today, Veteran's Day! I hope that you each might take a moment to thank a Veteran or Active Duty Service man or woman today. Thank you to Irish for writing such wonderful stories about Military Veterans, especially the ones that struggle the most after their service (Harley, you will always make my heart hurt and smile), and also for about the people who love them though it all!
On Saturday and Sunday, November 14th and 15th in celebration of Veteran's Day Irish is also making book 8 in her In The Company of Snipers series, GABE free! Make sure to hop on over to Amazon and get it!
Look out the window and see something!
I love you to pieces, Malissa, but you already know that!
I am so glad I can tell you now just how much I loved this story. <3 Thank you!

Many people are bothered by the small, unsightly clusters of purple, red and blue veins that commonly appear on the legs. These blemishes are called spider and varicose veins. Factors that lead to the formation of these veins include heredity, gender, and pregnancy. Prolonged standing, obesity, hormones, and physical trauma may also contribute to the development of varicose veins.
Varicose veins may remain merely a cosmetic issue or can progress to more serious health complications. Delaying treatment may cause leg discoloration, swelling and ulceration, or predispose to blood clots. It's important to consult your regular physician when you first notice signs of varicose veins.
For patients troubled by the appearance of their veins, there is help. Varicose veins can easily be removed with the help of a dermatologist. A time-tested treatment, sclerotherapy is a simple, safe, and effective non-surgical procedure used to treat unwanted varicose veins.
Sclerotherapy diminishes the appearance of varicose veins by injecting a "sclerosing agent" into target veins to shrink the vessels and minimize their appearance. While a specific treatment plan can only be determined following a consultation with your dermatologist, most patients notice a significant reduction, if not total elimination, of their unwanted veins over the treatment period.
Sclerotherapy has been used for generations by dermatologists to help patients eliminate spider and varicose veins. Sclerotherapy can enhance your appearance and improve your self-confidence. Visit your dermatologist for an initial consultation and find out if you are a good candidate.
Cold winds, low temperatures and dry indoor conditions can strip the skin of its natural oils that serve as a natural moisturizer. Although the cold winter months often cause dry skin, with proper skin care habits you can have a healthy complexion that lasts all season long.
You can't control the harsh winter climate, but you can protect your skin by learning how to manage the factors that trigger dry, flaky skin.
For starters, apply a heavy moisturizer or cream daily to help retain moisture and keep skin from drying out. Since strong, brisk winds can cause chapped skin, it is also important to cover exposed areas by wearing a hat, scarf or mittens when going out into the cold air.
Furnaces, radiators and fireplaces that you use to heat your home during cold winter months may feel wonderful in the middle of winter, but they can be extremely drying. To add moisture back into your home, try using a humidifier. Frequent showering and hand washing can also dry out your skin. Keep skin moist with lotion or cream immediately after you shower and wash your hands to seal in moisture.
No matter what season you're in, if your dry skin becomes inflamed or develops a painful itch, visit our practice for a proper evaluation and treatment plan. A dermatologist can help you modify your current skin regimen accordingly to help your skin stay healthy with the changing seasons.


PDO (Polydioxanone) threads is a revolutionary non-surgical approach to help rejuvenate skin and combat sagging skin by lifting the skin without the intervention of surgery and little down time.
Unlike the PDO threads that come from China, Dr Anita Dhunna utilises the revolutionary 2nd generation PDO thread which are manufactured in Korea and are Europe CE marked which ensure their quality and safety.
A similar procedure to dermal fillers, a small needle is inserted into the skin which carries the PDO thread within it. The needle is removed and the thread remains under the skin where it aids collagen stimulation thereby lifting the skin. The thread naturally dissolves into carbon dioxide and water after a few months stimulating collagen development.
Dr Anita Dhunna is experienced in using different types of PDO threads for a result that is suitable for your skin and aesthetic requirement.
A fine thread can be placed into areas of the face and body to revitalise and restore skin structure and improve elasticity by gentle collagen stimulation. These threads can be used in the forehead, under eye area, smokers lines, nose to mouth lines, chin, neck, décolletage, thighs and buttocks.
For a gentle lift of the skin and restoration, a spiral thread can be placed into areas the specific area. These can be used in the face for sagging cheeks and eyebrows, the jawline and chin areas.
If a stronger lift of the skin is required where skin has lost a lot of elasticity, a thread with small hooks can be placed to lift and tighten areas giving a nice eyebrow lift or lifting sagging skin on the face.
Dr Anita Dhunna is one of very few practitioners highly trained in using the 4D Barb PDO threads. This specific thread has small hooks in four directions and is introduced into the skin inside a cannula. The result is an incredible lift and immediate tightness to loose skin around the neck and jawline.
On average at least 2 threads are used per side and with a cannula being used, there is a reduced risk of bruising as no needle is required.
Local anaesthetic is used at the entry point of the cannula so the treatment is relatively painless. The results from the collagen development can last up to 2 years.
As with most procedures, there is a risk of swelling and bruising. However, unlike other threads on the market, there are no cones which means there is less compression of the skin and only one entry point to the needle/cannula. Rouching of the skin is also minimised and therefore downtime is reduced. Majority of patients can return back to work after the procedure.

Will Karnataka elections have an impact on Indian markets?
The outcome of the Karnataka Assembly elections will have larger implications for the way the capital markets will view the future of reforms.
The question is whether the anti-incumbency rule will continue to apply in Karnataka or whether Congress under Siddaramiah will get another term. But the importance of Karnataka goes beyond the elections. The outcome of the Karnataka Assembly elections will have larger implications for the way the capital markets will view the future of reforms.
In the last 4 years, the BJP has managed to form a government in most of the key states and Karnataka remains the last bastion for the Congress. If the current opposition really wants to challenge the ruling NDA and create a grand coalition for the 2019 elections, then the Congress will need a decisive victory in Karnataka. The stock markets will be, therefore, watching the Congress performance closely in Karnataka to gauge the realistic possibilities of a grand coalition at the centre.
The BJP has for a long time been a party that has dominated the North and the West. The South and the East had traditionally been out of bounds for the BJP. That has begun to change. While the BJP continues to dominate the states of the North and the West, it has now got Bihar, won Assam and formed governments in key North Eastern states. Additionally, the BJP has improved its vote share in West Bengal in the last state elections. South is where the BJP really needs to prove itself. Chandrababu Naidu has withdrawn support to the BJP, while the BJP could not make inroads into Tamil Nadu. Karnataka is the only state where the BJP actually has a substantial presence. Markets will be watching for the outcome as a victory in Karnataka will give the BJP substantial bargaining power vis-à-vis potential Southern allies.
While elections are also due in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, they have been BJP bastions for a very long time. It is Karnataka where the BJP really needs to prove itself. Over the last few months, a series of events, including the banking scam, have created doubts in the minds of people. A victory in Karnataka will affirm to the markets that the magic of 2014 is still alive and the reforms process is on track. From that perspective, it will also be seen as a prelude to the general elections in 2019 from a political and an economic strategy point of view.
That is what the markets are really looking for. With the margin of victory much narrower in Gujarat and rising farm distress across India, there have been worries that there could be derailment of reforms in the coming year. In the last 4 years, the current government has shown a penchant for hard reforms like demonetization, implementation of GST, implementation of RERA, anti money laundering etc. The markets will not want a change in government at the centre to dilute these reforms. A victory for the BJP in Karnataka will be seen as a vote for continuity for hard reforms and that means there will not be any dilution of the reforms process.
Karnataka in general and Bengaluru in particular have emerged in the last few years as the incubation capital of India. Most of the FDI into Fintech is also directed into the state of Karnataka. That segment may not be large from a capital market perspective but is likely to become much bigger in the times to come. The state of Karnataka will be keen to ensure that the current FDI flows continue unabated. For that, a strong state government will be the key. While that may not be too party-specific, the preference will be more for a stable government rather than the pulls and pressures of an unstable coalition. The weighty technology sector will surely vote for stability in the state of Karnataka.
This will be the most important consideration from the stock markets point of view. Over the last few months, especially in the aftermath of Gujarat, we have seen a rejuvenated Congress. Whether the Congress can be the nucleus for a grand coalition will largely depend on how the Karnataka results pan out. If the Congress manages an emphatic win, then they could emerge as a serious nucleus around which the grand coalition will be built. That is the only way there could be a real challenge at the centre. If the Congress loses Karnataka, then it could be more of fractious opposition and may not pose a real challenge in 2019.
The bottom-line is that despite all these factors, elections only impact markets temporarily. In the long run, the market remains a weighing machine and not a slotting machine!

Every entrepreneur faces the same conundrum; falling into the trap of working in your business. That may seem like an erroneous statement, but it's a true statement. Whether you're running a grocery store, a construction company or the family ranch, business owners often fall victim to constantly working IN their business instead of ON their business.
As the business owner, you wear a lot of hats; CEO, CFO, COO, HR Director, Marketing Director and general labor. The go-to solution is often, "I just need to work harder," or "I just need to hire more help." While either of those statements may have some truth in them, often times, the real truth is revealed when you take the luxury of time to step back, look at the big picture of what you're trying to accomplish, and create a better path. Sounds easy enough, right? If it was easy, businesses wouldn't have such high failure rates, and multi-generational family businesses would succeed well beyond the third generation. Statistics tell us otherwise. So what can you do to prevent yourself from falling into the trap?


This episode features part two of my conversation with percussionist Jan Williams, who has had a brilliant and multifaceted career. In addition to being one of the world's finest percussionists, Jan has been an arts administrator, educator, conductor, and composer. Deeply invested in contemporary music, he has worked closely with luminary composers including Morton Feldman, John Cage, Lukas Foss, Frederic Rzewski, and many more. As a performer, he has appeared worldwide and has been an important proponent for the development of literature for percussion instruments.
Jan spent much of his career at the University of Buffalo, where he was one of the first class of Creative Associates in the 1960's. He went on to serve as a faculty member and chair of the music department. While in Buffalo, he also co-directed the North American New Music Festival and served as artistic director for the Center for Creative and Performing Arts.
