The Dirty Work of Cleaning Online Reputations
by Sabrina I. Pacifici on Jan 11, 2022
The Walrus – "For a fee, companies will tackle damaging search results. But is the new economy of digital makeovers making things worse?…Cleaning up your image, however, is not cheap. A serious campaign can cost between $10,000 and $20,000 or more and will usually run for at least four to eight months. Matt Earle's twenty-four staff members deploy a suite of tactics to dilute or outright remove unwanted content. They have methods for contacting satisfied customers and encouraging them to leave positive reviews to bump up star-rated averages. They are also able to tweak Wikipedia entries in ways that pass muster with the website's volunteer editors, who can be relentless about deleting puffery. Appeals can be filed to major internet players like Facebook, Google, and Twitter in order to hide a damaging link or critical comments. If it's an unflattering story in the mainstream press, staff might provide the publication with research that prompts a correction or clarification. If that's not enough, there's the nuclear option: disappearing the content entirely…"

Q: How to plot a graph of 3 lines, where one vector holds the y axis and a 3 by X matrix holds the values of the 3 lines? Sorry for the simplicity of the question.  New to Matlab and despite its thorough documentation, can't find this.
I have a vector y_axis that has all of the sequential values for my y-axis. It is 400x1.  I also have a matrix data where each column holds the corresponding x-axis values.  It is 400x3.
I want to plot a line graph based on this data, but can't figure out how.

A: Let us assume that your data looks like:
y = [ 2;3;4]
x = [ 1 2 3; 4 5 6; 7 8 9]
You could plot this by:

plot(y,x(:,1))
hold on
plot(y,x(:,2))
plot(y,x(:,3))

Hope this helps

A: The answer is simply to use the function PLOT like so:
plot(y_axis, data);

It will even color each line differently for you.

MUNCIE, Indiana – One of the most taboo phrases, income inequality, has come back into our discourse thanks to Pope Francis. President Barack Obama immediately jumped to the forefront with his own speech.
PAUL KRUGMAN: Here's Why Everyone And The Pope Is Talking About Inequality http://t.co/5CFTlEzoK4

The private sector consists of CEO's making exorbitant salaries while the average wage of American workers remains stagnant. Yet, what do we get from corporate owned media? Crickets.
Not everybody is ignoring it, and the pulse of mass global unrest is rising. As we've pointed out to our readers, there are entirely different discussions taking place on Twitter where authentic journalists can engage with viewers by sharing bits of information with links to their own stories. Gone are the days of having to work for a giant corporate run media conglomerate who stifles their writers and journalists. Gone are the days of "taboo topics". The sacred cows are getting gored.
From @TaxPolicyCenter: New CBO report shows that the rich have indeed gotten richer over the past 30 years http://t.co/T3Mm32k9OU
— Urban Institute (@urbaninstitute) December 10, 2013
The United States is generally a business-run society, more so than many others, but it's gotten worse the past thirty years. The business classes are very much aware of class warfare since they've fought to undo FDR's "New Deal" since the 1930's.
Over the years, the Oligarchs have chipped away at Washington and infiltrated agencies like the FCC which were setup to protect consumers against the power and influence of monied interests.
Due to deregulation, they acquired media outlets to control the message. They've used their control to push propaganda over the air waves, on television and in print. Our government was established to keep the business class – the capitalists – the Oligarchs from using their money, power and influence to rule over America.
As we've written in Muncie Voice, the founders established the free press to keep both the government and the business classes in check…control their power by reporting on abuses within our political and economic systems. The free press was called the Fourth Branch of government – the Fourth Estate.
However, the capitalists continue expanding their net worth by extracting wealth from our communities leaving a long trail of destruction and dilapidated buildings and have literally compressed the remaining working classes.
President Obama outlined the statistics in his speech:
And the result is an economy that's become profoundly unequal, and families that are more insecure. I'll just give you a few statistics. Since 1979, when I graduated from high school, our productivity is up by more than 90 percent, but the income of the typical family has increased by less than eight percent. Since 1979, our economy has more than doubled in size, but most of that growth has flowed to a fortunate few. The top 10 percent no longer takes in one-third of our income — it now takes half. Whereas in the past, the average CEO made about 20 to 30 times the income of the average worker, today's CEO now makes 273 times more. And meanwhile, a family in the top 1 percent has a net worth 288 times higher than the typical family, which is a record for this country.
If this isn't a class war, we're not sure what a better example would look like.
The corporate owned media doesn't use the term "working class" because it's taboo. They say "middle class," because it helps diminish the understanding that there's a class war going on. Consider this, at the same time technology has allowed for substantial gains in productivity – workers are producing more and instead of reaping the gains – the increasing profit margins has gone to CEO's and shareholders.
This is unjust and cannot be defended – it's oppressive. I'm not sure how anyone can justify an economic system which is so grossly unjust and disadvantageous to so many. Our economic system should be used to serve the greater good. Period. Simple. The Pope is right.
Income Inequality 'Challenge Of Our Time,' Obama Says http://t.co/VthKhHHTAB — NPR News (@nprnews) December 4, 2013
We must rebuild our society with the focus on community and citizen – maximize each persons health, prosperity and happiness. All policies made should conform be scrutinized to this standard – "How does this decisions improve the health, prosperity and happiness of Americans."
Large income gaps in countries drive #migration, brain drain & permanent loss of native talent. Blog: http://t.co/4osszhhsQE

This can be done at a grassroots level across the entire globe. We are a society of humans first. We are here for a purpose. As Pope Francis writes in his 2013 Apostolic Exhortation, "The dignity of each human person and the pursuit of the common good are concerns which ought to shape all economic policies."
All the wonders of business, science, technology, economics, and creative entrepreneurship should be used to maximize the health, prosperity and happiness for every human on earth.

We've all experienced fear in one form or another–whether the trepidation before a job interview, struggling to muster the courage to ask that special someone out, or taking the plunge in a new venture. Fear is real. Fear is human. It's a part of life, and it can be debilitating. But I have good news. You can learn to be fearless.
You see fearlessness is a learned skill. Were you nervous the first day on that first real job? You bet you were–but you had to get through it. How about your first day in college. A little nervous? And what about your last day in college? "Yawn yawn. Old hat. I'm too cool for school…." This is because you pushed through the anxiety. There was no other option.
And that's the trick. You learn to be fearless by just leaning into what scares you again and again till you level up and master the skill or situation. In some areas of life, your are forced to muscle through the fear–like going to work those first few days on the job or starting college. You just had to do it, and so you did. But in other areas of life–entrepreneurship, artistic endeavor, pursuing romance–nothing automatically forces you to lean in and crash through that wall of anxiety. So it's up to you. That's a challenge, but there are a number of strategies you can deploy.
Micro-step it. Break down whatever you want to do but fear into the smallest possible tasks. Just take a step. Even just an inch. Sometimes the least forward movement will get you going and through.
Talk It Out. If leaning in is too much, then tell someone about your fear. Acknowledging it can often tame it just enough to lean in and start moving forward.
Level Up Your Skills. You may have a goal, but you may have literally no idea how to achieve it. You need to level up your skills. Research what it is you need to do, or contact someone in the field and ask them for coffee. In the modern world, levelling up will mostly mean deep dive google searches. You could also sign up for an online course. Warning, leveling up and strengthening your skills can quickly become a procrastination and avoidance if you aren't careful….
Despite the strategies outlines above, there is a broader, crucial point I'm trying to get through. Our culture shows superheroes who are perpetually and always fearless. Funny thing is, those movies and comic books are fantasy.
So don't expect to live fearlessly immediately. This is a learned skill, like a muscle that you develop. You lean into your fear again and again until you crash through the anxiety, level-up your skills, and build momentum.
You can learn to be fearless. It just takes consistent effort and a willingness to move forward. Good luck!

Bus operators take a stand over seat cuts
TRANSPORT companies and disabled rights groups are at loggerheads over planned EU rules which could reduce the number of seats in buses and coaches.
Disabled groups have long campaigned for a cut in the number of seats together with other design modifications which would make it easier for wheelchair users to gain access to vehicles.
Their efforts appear to have paid off, with the result that a draft directive due to be unveiled before the end of this year now states: "The Commission considers … that every effort must be made to provide for accessibility within the limits of what is technically achievable within a reasonable time-scale."The European Parliament's disability intergroup, which has been at the forefront of the lobbying effort, has welcomed the proposed changes.
"Not only has the Commission, in this draft, recognised that it is right to build accessible transport, it has also recognised that this is in the interests of the single market, because it will result in increased passenger revenue," says the group.
But transport companies are apprehensive over the approach being taken by the Commission.
"We hope the Commission will concern itself with safety rather than comfort when it presents its proposals. Reducing seat numbers will probably mean fare rises and some companies could be forced out of business," said Marc Billiet of the International Road Transport Union (IRU), which represents bus operators.
Billiet argues that most bus companies already run a number of specially equipped vehicles for disabled passengers and adds that it is unreasonable to require entire fleets to be redesigned to meet the needs of a minority of fare payers.
"Disabled people can call on the services of specially designed buses or they can use taxis. We do not see the need to alter all buses which are in general service. In any case, would a mobility-impaired person really want to use a normal bus during the rush hour?" he asked.
Seat reduction poses a particular threat to companies who run services using small, minibus-type vehicles. Such operations tend to have low profit margins and any measures which would reduce customer numbers could have detrimental effects.
"Minibuses need a certain number of seats in order to be viable. Reducing those seat numbers means firms could start going out of business," said Dennis Flower of the London-based Confederation of Passenger Transport.
Such minibus services have become increasingly popular in the UK in the wake of bus market deregulation.
Bus operators also fear the new rules may mean certain specially designed buses – most famously London's distinctive red Routemaster double-deckers – would be forced off the roads. They argue that bus makers must be free to build tailor-made vehicles for a huge variety of markets. The Routemaster, for example, was designed specifically to navigate London's narrow, winding streets.
The Commission argues the industry's worries are largely unfounded.
"We need some sort of standards so that bus and coach makers who want to sell their vehicles across the Union can take full advantage of the single market. There are serious cost implications when vehicle manufacturers have to meet 15 different design specifications," said one Commission official.
But he stressed: "The proposed directive is not binding. If a member state does not wish to follow the guidelines for a particular type of bus they will not be obliged to."Clearly, vehicles which did not meet the Union-wide standard could be refused for sale in other member states. However, given that any such buses would have been, by definition, designed for a specific domestic market, the restriction on external sales would not appear to be a problem.
Even if further legislation calling for compulsory technical specifications is brought in, the Commission is confident that flexibility could always be built into the system.
"If a particular member state wanted to continue building vehicles which did not meet the specifications, they would simply have to discuss the possibility of a derogation with the other 14. I would have thought there would usually be no problem in such circumstances," said one official.

Do you have any new or different initiatives, aimed at improving the developmental results for young children, to propose?
Twenty-six council and 21 school board candidates responded. Their answers were posted on the Edmonton Early Years Coalition website so that voters could see where they stood on the early years.
The coalition represents coalitions in Edmonton and the surrounding area, as well as a variety of different agencies. It is able to draw upon different points of view, resources and expertise. It has great potential to present a strong, unified voice for children and families and advocate for policy and programming changes.
The coalition has benefitted from the commitment and shared enthusiasm of the Edmonton Public Library, Edmonton Catholic School District, City of Edmonton, Parent Link centres, and agencies, as well as early educators and caregivers.
It can be difficult to enlist volunteers given the heavy time commitments many people face in their daily work and family lives.
Connecting with the most vulnerable populations in the city, including multicultural and immigrant communities and the poor and socially disadvantaged is an enormous challenge. Many of the issues that they experience are complex.
A website has been developed to connect and serve all Edmonton area coalitions.
The EDI data has been used as a starting point to talk about early child development with city councilors and administrators, MLAs and cabinet ministers, local school boards, and Children and Family Services.
The coalition organized "Together We Raise Tomorrow" discussions in the fall of 2013 in response to the Government of Alberta's call for community input into creating a new policy framework for ECD and child poverty. More than 50 people participated, ranging from United Way to Edmonton Public Schools and Multicultural Health Brokers representatives. Participants talked about the need to invest in the early years, address barriers to accessing existing services, improve public transportation and involve businesses and employers in supporting families.
In late 2013, the citywide coalition met with the Downtown Business Association to see how it could get the business community more involved with the work that the coalitions are doing. Coalitions plan on connecting with businesses in their communities to encourage them to be more child- and family-friendly, including in their employment policies.
"We need a voice for early childhood in the city that is knowledgeable about early child development. We need to learn from many different sources, and we have the potential for that because of the broad representation on the coalitions. We can become a coordinated voice for children and families"

Q: Updating pre-existing list to avoid O(n^2) I want to create a new function, neighbor_trial(atomlist,trialatom), that will run in O(n) instead of neighbor(atomlist) (O(n^2) time). I can accomplish this by merely updating the results from a previous run of neighbor(atomlist). trialatom is an atom that is moved, all other atoms in atomlist are not moved.
Background:
atomlist is a list of instances of the Atom class. An Atom object has a function atom1.is_neighbor(atom2) that checks if atom2 is a nearest neighbor of atom1. If it is, atom2 is added to atom1.nrst, a list. An atom can only have a maximum of 12, unique, nearest neighbors and cannot include itself.
Problem:
neighbor correctly updates everyone atom's nrst list but it is slow (it must be rerun many times). However, neighbor_trial does not update correctly. Every atom's nrst neighbor has to be checked to see if trialatom is now a neighbor, as well as recreate the nrst list of the atom's whose nrst list is wiped.
def neighbor(atomlist):
    cdef int i, j
    for atom in atomlist:
        atom.nrst=[]   #Unnecessarily deletes every atom's nrst!
    for i in range(len(atomlist)):
        for j in range(i+1,len(atomlist)):
            if atomlist[i].is_neighbour(atomlist[j]):
                atomlist[i].nrst.append(atomlist[j])
                atomlist[j].nrst.append(atomlist[i])

def neighbor_trial(atomlist,trialatom):
    cdef int i, j
    redoo_list=[]
    for atom in trialatom.nrst:
        atom.nrst=[]            #Only trialatom and its neighbours' nrst list are wiped!
        redoo_list.append(atom)
    trialatom.nrst = []
    redoo_list.append(trialatom)
    for i in range(len(atomlist)):
        for j in range(len(redoo_list)):
            if atomlist[i] != redoo_list[j]:
                if atomlist[i].is_neighbour(redoo_list[j]):
                    redoo_list[j].nrst.append(atomlist[i])


Originally designed for proximity sensors, the M8 connector range is an IP67 rated product with 3 or 4 pole versions within the range. You have the choice of field attachable connectors, moulded connectors with PVC or PUR cable, front or panel mount receptacles and a selection of Jumper cables with various male and female connector options.
All the connectors that we supply are available with straight or angled versions, male (plug) and female (socket) contacts with an easy to fit M8 lock nut for connection security and sealing.
The M8 connectors were originally designed for miniature proximity switches are a little unusual as the contact numbering on the 3 pole version is 1, 3 and 4 – not what you would expect – but this matches the switch convention of the normally open contact being present on pin 4 as also seen on M12 connectors.
The main products within this section are part of our work with Binder to focus of industrial automation requirements and subject to prior sale are typically available from stock for next day delivery.

Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo: Who Will Win the Holidays?
The most important quarter of the year. Who's going to win?
Alex Gibson
Published on November 8, 2017 Alex Gibson
Home » Features » Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo: Who Will Win the Holidays?
The holiday season is big business in the video game industry. Black Friday Christmas see a sharp rise in the sales of consumer electronics, and the turning weather has everyone inside wanting to use them. As a result, the quarter has traditionally always been a battleground between rival manufacturers to win over the minds and wallets of the gaming community, leading to sharply priced discounts and the release of exciting new content to play. This year's shaping up to be a particularly intense battle, so let's review all three of the major console manufacturers and see who's most likely to end on top.
Sony's PS4 has run away with this generation, not only continuing to record exceptional sales but also continuing to increase the gap over its main rival, the Xbox One. Yet if there's been one chink in Sony's armor throughout the console's lifespan, it has been the holiday season. In a break from the rule of thumb that applied during the PS3 era, Sony hasn't really managed to line up any of its major exclusives for the fall, choosing instead to rely on third-party releases to sustain the console over the past few years. In truth, though, not only have exclusives played less of a role in determining the market-leading console this generation, missing the holiday window has hardly any negative effect PS4's commercial performance.
However, with Microsoft attempting to take back the initiative with its souped-up Xbox One X console, and Nintendo's hugely popular Switch finally more readily available, Sony's position as top dog this holiday is far from assured. So what does it have up its sleeve?
In regards to new content, the answer is not much. Two of its biggest exclusives of the year, Horizon Zero Dawn and Nioh, do both launch as complete editions in the upcoming weeks, and the former also has a new expansion, The Frozen Wilds. Other than that, though, it seems Sony is content with leaning on its already excellent library of exclusives. Elsewhere, Sony's timed-exclusivity and various marketing deals have ensured the console is first to receive various DLC and additional content, as in the case of Destiny 2 and Call of Duty.
To say Microsoft has been left in the wake of Sony's PS4 this generation wouldn't be necessarily inaccurate, but it would be a mistake to write off the Xbox One this holiday season. The brand still commands a huge following, and Microsoft has traditionally done very well in November and December thanks to brilliant marketing campaigns and attractive console bundles. We're already seeing some very sharply priced Xbox One S bundles that include a big third-party release like Call of Duty: WWII. So sharply priced, in fact, that it's undercutting the PS4, and it's likely that these sorts of offers are going to drive the lion's share of sales for Microsoft, rather than its more expensive Xbox One X console. Especially when one considers both console's price points, $180 with a game versus $500 and no game — the Xbox One X is, perhaps, only likely to appeal to a niche audience. Yet there's no question that Microsoft's premium console is still going to be a huge draw for consumers hungry for a big graphical upgrade.
Microsoft's biggest trump card this fall is its exclusive deal with Bluehole Studio to bring across the phenomenon that is PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG). A huge scoop for the Xbox One, PUBG adds a massive incentive for people to pick up either version of the console after all the positive press the game has received. That being said, it hardly pushes the Xbox One X's graphical capabilities. There's also the slight issue that, since the PC community already has the game, there's no draw for PC owners wanting to purchase a console for an alternate library to choose Xbox over PlayStation.
Ultimately, both in the case of cheap bundles and expensive premium hardware, Microsoft is relying on consumers purchasing hardware specifically to play third-party software, with PUBG the only exclusive point of difference. Only time will tell whether that proves an effective enough strategy to distract consumers from the lack notable content yet to be announced for 2018.
Of all the big takeaways from this year in gaming, Nintendo's reemergence as a major powerhouse in the video game industry has to be the biggest. The Nintendo Switch looked like a slick piece of kit from its earliest reveal, but nobody could have predicted just how popular it's proven to be. And not just the hardware, either, because as much of a factor as its hybrid functionality has been in driving sales, the software has been hugely impressive too. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is now joined by the recently released Super Mario Odyssey as the highest rated game of the current generation. The Mario brand carries so much weight in the gaming industry that Odyssey is surely going to prove a tremendous sales point for Nintendo this holiday season.
There's so much content to enjoy on Switch already that the console might very well be experiencing one of the best launches we've seen in the console space. We'd be remiss if we didn't mention other excellent titles such as Splatoon 2, ARMS, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, and, of course, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. There's also the upcoming Xenoblade 2 to look forward to, and the future promise of mainline Pokemon and Metroid titles.
However, by far and away the biggest contributing factor to Nintendo's ability to dominate this holiday season is the fact that the console is finally readily available to purchase. Nintendo's dire production issues have really choked its ability to move substantial numbers in the console's first six months at retail. Only in Europe has the Switch existed on store shelves for any substantial amount time, proving comparatively impossible to purchase in the US without lightning fast reactions at the drop of limited stock. But these woes seem to now be a thing of the past, with Nintendo assuring that Switch stock will remain plentiful moving forward.
Who's Going to Win?
Each of the big three has a major selling point to tip the scales in their favour this holiday season: Sony's huge stable of exclusives and the promise of more shortly to be added to the library. Microsoft's uber powerful premium Xbox One X console and the launch of PUBG. Nintendo's replenished stock and fever pitch excitement over Super Mario Odyssey.
There isn't much separating them, but based on recent NPD hardware trends, and the release of a critically acclaimed entry to the industry's most beloved and instantly recognizable character, we'd have to give the nod to Nintendo. It has already been revealed that Odyssey sales have been the fastest in Mario history. We saw similarly impressive figures for Breath of the Wild, too, and so you'd have to imagine the consumers that previously weren't able to get their hands on Switch – of which there were many – are likely to purchase both games. Especially given that Breath of the Wild's story DLC is soon to be launched, it's more than likely the spotlight of attention will once again return to Zelda, driving sales in the process.
That all being said, it's too early to accurately predict the commercial reception to the Xbox One X, which could yet prove our suspicions about its price and lack of exclusive content making it a niche device off the mark. Similarly, PlayStation's immense brand power and content make it hard to write off. One thing is for sure, Nintendo's recent resurgence has made this holiday a thrilling and extremely close three horse race.

Ant Mound, Oakville Prairie
George C. Wheeler was very familiar with the prairies in Oakville Township. He was a Harvard-educated biologist who served as Chair of Biology at UND from 1926-1963. He and his wife Jeanette authored "The Ants of North Dakota", and "The Amphibians and Reptiles of North Dakota". He was
recognized as the world's leading authority on the larvae of ants. His research studies included the effects of ants on soil and the complex interrelationships of ants with plants and other insects.
Professor Wheeler was instrumental in the University of
North Dakota obtaining most of the land it has today in Oakville Township. In 1953, he negotiated with the Myra Foundation for the use of the north half of section 9 in Oakville Township. In a letter dated April 8 he wrote: "The need for undisturbed areas of grassland becomes daily more urgent as more and more land is put under cultivation or used for grazing. Such areas are invaluable as controls for studies designed to solve the problems of utilization." In 1960,
he wrote to UND President Starcher: "We would like to get a section of school land near Grand Forks - apparently original prairie - cost about $16,000." The section he was seeking was section 16 of Oakville Township, which the Biology Department subsequently used as a field station for several decades. Ownership of this section was recently transferred to UND, more than 40 years after Wheeler lobbied for its purchase.

Things As They Appear – Red Bazar
The second part of this two-part mini-series of reviews of the music of Red Bazar focuses on the bands 4th studio album Things As They Appear. As I mentioned in my previous review it would not be long before Pete Jones's role in the band would stretch to more than just being a singer, although the bands keyboard player Gary Marsh had not quite left the band at this stage. However, his role was now having to make some comprises and that is perhaps why this was the final album he appeared on.
To be honest it's unclear just what Marsh's role is on this album according to the album credits he's not even a member of the band. Red Bazar is a band that doesn't exactly make things easy when it comes down to researching information about them. They are not a band that keeps up to date with things such as photo shoots and although Facebook is about the most resourceful place for information on the band, there are times when you have to make your own observations, making it hard for reviewers like myself to go into any great detail about them.
I was originally going to make this a two-part series of the bands music and include their Live Concert DVD in this review partially because of not having that much to write or speak about. But in the end, I decided to turn it into a three-part series and felt it needed its own space. That's not to say that the bands music does not speak to me and this particular album speaks to me a damn sight more than their previous effort. If anything Things As They Appear is an album where the band developed a style that I personally think is better suited to them. But before I go any further let's take a look at how it comes.
Packaging & Artwork…
This is the bands second album to be released on White Knight Records and just like their previous album Tales From The Bookcase, they have gone along with the same Digipak idea that comes with a die-cut pocket to store the booklet. Speaking of the booklet this one comes with a 12-page one that contains all the liner, production notes and lyrics but does not provide any informative information.
Unlike their previous album, it can still be obtained from the White Knight Records store and I managed to pick it up my copy from there for a bargain price of £9.00 plus £1.80 p+p. Overall it's a very neat package and for the best price, I would recommend you purchase it from the store in relation to other outlets.
The cover design and artwork were done by the bands keyboard player Gary Marsh. As I could not find any reference to Sawtooth Design who did the design for their previous album. That may have also been done by Marsh. I quite like the album cover and the hooded chap on front of it makes me think of the Neal Morse album Sola Scriptura although he's perhaps taking a break from sweeping up the courtyard.
The Album In Review…
The bands 4th studio album Things As They Appear by Red Bazar was released on the 26th of January 2019. The album itself contains 8 vocal tracks that spread over an overall playing time of 55 minutes, 14 seconds. It's perhaps too long to squeeze onto a single vinyl LP but nevertheless, unlike their previous album, I don't find it a chore to get through in one sitting.
Upon listening to the material on this album it does appear that the band are heading in a new direction and the particular style of that direction is more rock driven which I feel is better suited to this band. I would also say that some of the material we have here is more in line with what I heard with their latest single "State Of Grace" which led me to check out this band in the first place.
I think the fact that this album is more rock driven is one of the main reasons why this album appeals to me more. It's perhaps really down to how the bass player Mick Wilson and guitarist Andy Wilson's contrasting styles can clash in particular when it comes to trying to play and do something more along the lines of progrock.
For example, there is no doubt in my mind that they have a PROGMATIC! bassist, whereas the guitarist has too much of a metal background and his lead solos can be at times less attractive and lack ideas for them to fit in with the PROGMATIC! and even CLASSIC ROCK! side of things.
That's not to say that Andy Wilson is not a good guitarist and that is far from the case, though his lines can be more along the lines of shred and shrill which is perhaps more common in today's music in relation to the many classic guitar solos that mostly came out of the rock world many moons ago. When it comes to guitar solos I rather think that Pete Jones has more ideas though they can be quite often borrowed from the likes of Steve Hackett and Gary Moore.
As I mentioned in my introduction it is unclear what Gary Marsh's role is on this album and that really comes across to me via looking at how things have been worded in the booklet. For example, on the back page of the booklet (as seen below), you can clearly see that he is no longer a member of the band and special thanks have been given to him for keyboard arrangments for 7 of the 8 tracks that are on the album.
However, when taking a look at the inside of the booklet you can plainly see that his role extends to more than just keyboard arrangments especially when you take a look at the credits that have been given to him on those 7 tracks. You may have to use the zoom on your web browser to read the credits (I have outlined them with a red marker as seen below) but as you can see he also plays keyboards on 7 of the tracks although most of the keyboard solos are played by Jones.
Gary Marsh's departure from the band came about well before the album was released, most likely a good 10 months before so they had obviously been working on the album for quite a while. Judging by this photo that was posted on the bands Facebook page on the 1st of May 2018 he most likely left the band back in April 2018.
Although the band never posted anything about why he left the band I am sure there is an amicable reason and they parted on good terms. It stands to reason that there was no need for two keyboard players and it would have added to further costs when touring and downsizing the band would have been the sensible option.
Oddly enough in terms of sales Things As They Appear did not attract the attention as their previous album Tales From The Bookcase. Though I must stress that my observation is a guesstimation and is based on the amount of feedback on their store or Bandcamp page that they have incorporated into their website and not from the sales of other outlets.

The Album Tracks In Review…
Things As They Appear is not really what I would call a concept album however there does seem to be a theme going on regarding the lyrical content with how it generally tends to focus on one particular subject. Musically the album does tend to run along like a collection of songs in the way that none of the tracks run seamlessly into each other sort of thing.
I personally think this is where the band became a bit more cohesive and found their feet, and even though it still contains mostly lengthy tracks around the 6 to 7-minute mark, I do feel they have trimmed things down better and there is less overcooking in relation to their previous album.
Track 1. Temple.
The album gets off to a flying start with its opening track and launches its way in style and at quite a fast pace. Just like I felt the albums cover had a bit of Neal Morse touch to it so does this particular song in parts. Though I am sure there are many other influences flying out of the woodwork including once again the likes of Frost* who are a band that started off very well with their debut album and sort of lost the plot by applying too many modern gadgets and reverse effects to their music for my taste.
Thankfully this band have not gone quite that far and what we have here is a track that is perhaps a bit more on the PROGMATIC! side of things with its transitional changes though it does in many ways feel more ROCK! driven. I suppose the best way I could describe it is that it's more like what the band Yes did with Trevor Rabin on albums like 90125 and Big Generator in relation to what the band did back in the early 70's which was progrock.
Despite the influences, the "Temple" is, without a doubt, one of the stronger tracks on the album. The lyrical content pertains to cults and those who think they are above everything and It features some excellent guitar work from Andy Wilson including a BLISTERING! solo. The bass and drums hold it up very well and even though Pete jones is only singing on this track, he very much puts his "ORE" into it with how he uses different vocal characteristics to deliver it.
Track 2. Nothing Left.
Quite a comedown from the previous track and this is a song that lyrically deals with emotions that are tied around a broken-down relationship. It's perhaps a song that has too much to say about the subject matter over the near enough 8 minutes you get here. Though I will say the words are put very well into context. Musically the song has very little to say and not even the lengthy keyboard solo played by Jones at the end adds enough to the tank. Overall it's not a bad song but rather a mediocre effort methinks.
Track 3. Liar.
This next song is most likely aimed at politicians (as in the picture I chose) if anything it perhaps portrays the truth about politics. The song itself has more of a direct rock approach to it which I think suits the bands style very well if I'm being truthful myself. It also incorporates a nice little bridge that features some quite nice pumping bass work from M. Wilson and another BLISTERING! lead guitar solo from A. Wilson that adds an extension to it all.
Overall "Liar" is one of those songs that tends to run across the familiar ground of many popular rock songs and its more popular approach might not sit that well with fans of their previous album. However, the 6.5 minutes you get here I feel is very well utilised and is not overcooked. It also feels like it's over in 4 minutes so the band must be doing something right.
Track 4. Rocky Bone Runway.
The longest track on the album is up next and regarding the lyrical content, there does generally tend to be a theme going on regarding false hope, leaders and dictators throughout the album. This is also the only track on the album that Gary Marsh took no part in and it was most likely written after he had left. Considering the song is just under 8.5 minutes it does tend to have too many words and perhaps says too much for its own good in some respects.
However, that's not to say it's a bad song though I do feel more thought could have been applied to the musical direction, especially over this distance and at times it does tend to be saying the same thing for too much of the time so to speak.
Track 5. Spiral.
There are times when I get the feeling that when it comes to writing and putting songs together the band tend to run out of ideas, especially when trying to do something a bit more PROGMATIC! and "Spiral" is a prime example. Musically the song starts off a bit like "Entangled" by Genesis with its melody line, however the vocal line sort of blends something else into it that gives me the impression of something that would suit a female singer for a Bond Movie sort of thing. At this point, the song is running more along the lines of a pop song and with its duration being some 7 minutes and 39 seconds long it even has me wondering where on earth are they going to be taking it.
The first thing they try to do is beef the song up a bit by injecting a bit of power into it that comes into play with A. Wilson's guitar around the 3:09 mark. To be honest I am not really sure that this transitional change works and the very fact that it drags on for 40 seconds gives me the impression that the band are hanging around in limbo and have no idea where to go next.
The next few verses stay in the beefed-up mode and the vocal line injects a bit more aggression into it all which is all very well but once again I get the feeling that it is out of character with how the song started. The song then gets rounded off with a 2-minute 47 seconds keyboard solo played by Marsh that adds a bit more excitement to it but leaves me thinking that everything is out of context and was put together with the wrong pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.
Track 6. Future Song.
The "Future Song" is another near-enough 7-minute song that tends to have too much going on in the lyric department once again. However, that may very well be down to the song's chorus which is very repetitive in the way that it never changes the words and is utilised three times in the song. It does however feature a couple of nice solos from Jones and A. Wilson that at least break up some of the monotony of the chorus.
The lyrical content itself is verging on striving for better times and possibilities for the future and the only way that can really happen is when those in power give peace a real chance which it is more or less pointing out so to speak.
Track 7. The Parting.
The shortest track on the album happens to be my personal favourite and that's most likely down to the band putting more into this just under five-minute song than any other track on the album. This is a track where the band really work to their full potential and the bass player, in particular, comes right out of his shell and does an excellent job plucking the hell out of the strings. It's very much a song that kicks ass and the main riff is very heavy and a bit like "Into The Lens" by Yes. Only it has a lot more power and energy to drive it along.
The lyrical content portrays the dividing line in a broken-down relationship and inflicts all the anger and pain that goes along with it. Once again the words are very well put into context and Jones does an admiral job of delivering them. The whole band are on fire here and is firing on all cylinders. It's also more fitting to Andy Wilson's guitar style and in all honesty, I personally feel that this rock side of things is better suited to this band. You can listen to the song here:
It just goes to prove that you don't have to make songs 9 to 15 minutes long to try and make them PROGMATIC! Especially when you can throw in just as much or even more into a 4 or 5-minute song like this. You also have to be just as skilful to pull off a rock song like this too and this song easily merits the albums TOP SPOT AWARD!
Track 8. We Will Find You.
The final track on the album is quite dark, sinister and different and certainly different to the more humorous side of things I chose with the picture. In many respects, it is something of a new approach or the sort of angle with what they have done with "State Of Grace" especially the lyrical content in that it's about censorship that is sort of forced upon by the government. In many ways, it's like being put under surveillance by them and Big Brother is watching you and is like something out of a spy film which is also the way the band dramatise it with the musical side of things too.
I personally don't think this song will be lighting any fires with their fans and it perhaps lacks the vocal characteristics that were given to the song from their new album that is to come. However, what I do admire is that they are heading into a newer direction musical-wise and one that I personally think is better suited to the band. I don't dislike this track by any means and it rounds off the album very well.
Summary & Conclusion…
To sum up and conclude my review of Things As They Appear by Red Bazar. I would say that it's an album that gives me the impression that the band are heading in a new direction or approach to their music and are coming at it from another angle so to speak. It's also an album where I do feel I got more for my money even if like their previous album it's far from what I would call a solid album and once again only a half-decent one.
To be perfectly honest I feel this new direction is much better suited to the band simply because I personally feel that this is a band that needs to stick to shorter songs. The reason for my reasoning this way is that with the longer material I do feel that not enough space is given to the musical direction and they over utilise it by throwing in too many lyrics most of the time.
I did mention in my previous review that I felt there were better things to come from Red Bazar and upon my first spin of this album it really felt that way, especially with this new rockier approach they were applying to their music. The bands latest song release "State Of Grace" does appear to be continuing with this new direction which I like. Although as to if the rest of their forthcoming album Inverted Reality lives up to it we shall have to wait and see.
If it doesn't I am afraid it will leave me no choice but to knock this band on the head, simply because I see no point in spending money on half-decent albums all the time and you would be better off buying tracks rather than the album. That is something I personally hate to see in this day being that I am more of an avid collector of the physical product myself. My personal highlights from the album are "Temple", "Liar" and "The Parting".

Reading your review I recognise, that you often critizise the longer songs of Red Bazar, that they are more sounding like a random puzzle than a coherent composition. That's the matter with many – as you call them – progmatic songs. You know I have a classical background and in my opinion the rules of composing are the same there. In fact it is a lot harder to write a good long composition. I would even say the longer the harder. Regarding coherence you can work with reoccurring motifs and other elements, but you also have to write good transitions and developments, climaxes etc. In my opinion many modern bands fail, when it comes to complex composing and arranging. Even the song "The parting", which gets the top spot of the album and is only 5 minutes long can not entertain me properly and is quite repetitive for my taste. I would have shortened it to 3 minutes at maximum.

Yes I feel the shorter format does suit this band better though I do quite like "The Parting" because I do feel more was put into its structure and the transitional lead break works very well though I will stress that it's not a PROGMATIC! song.
I think the trouble with most bands today is that they think by making longer compositions makes it progrock yet they still structure the music around a verse and chorus. If you are going to be putting lengthy tracks on an album that follow one another you need to put in a damn site more than this to keep me entertained and excited.
To be honest regarding PROGMATIC! music I actually think it's harder to do over a shorter distance in relation to the longer distance where you have more time to play with. Very few artists can pull off the short PROGMATIC" song. Neal Morse did it with Spock's Beard back in the early 90's but these days even he works mostly on longer compositions that are not really cutting the mustard and tend to be saying too much of the same thing all the time.
