Well, we still want you to know about these places that don't offer happy hours, as they may be great places, and will gladly take your money for regular priced items!

The flag of Zimbabwe was designed by Flight Lieutenant Cedric Herbert in 1979 and featured three horizontal stripes of red, white and green and a vertical black stripe bordered with white on the left side. An emblem of the Zimbabwe bird was pictured in gold. In 1980 it was changed. The flag now has seven horizontal stripes and a white triangle on the left hand side. Within the triangle is a red, five-pointed star with a Zimbabwe bird above it.
Our top-quality Zimbabwe flags conform to all official specifications. Emblems and designs are executed with the highest possible degree of accuracy in regard to detail, color shades, placement and proportion to flag size.

Dinah Shore, nome artístico de Frances Rose Shore, (Winchester, 29 de fevereiro de 1916 — Beverly Hills, 24 de fevereiro de 1994) foi uma cantora e atriz estadunidense.

Sofreu poliomielite da infância, que lhe deixou com um pé levemente deformado, que não lhe impedia fisicamente, mas lhe causava constrangimento. Tornou-se uma líder de torcida na escola secundária Hume-Fogg em Nashville e se graduou pela Universidade Vanderbilt em 1938, onde se especializou em Sociologia. Paralelamente, ela tomava aulas de voz e de atuação e cantava na rádio WSM em Nashville. Em 1938, ela deixou o Tennessee por Nova Iorque. Suas primeiras gravações foram com o maestro Xavier Cugat e, posteriormente, mudou seu nome para Dinah depois do sucesso que fez com a canção de mesmo nome. Ela recebeu inúmeros prêmios Emmy por produções e especiais de televisão e apareceu em muitos filmes. Ela foi casada com o ator George Montgomery e eles tiveram uma filha e adotaram um filho.

Worsted wool yarn with 4 plies
Worsted (/ˈwɜːrstɪd/ or /ˈwʊstɪd/) is a high-quality type of wool yarn, the fabric made from this yarn, and a yarn weight category. The name derives from Worstead, a village in the English county of Norfolk. That village, together with North Walsham and Aylsham, formed a manufacturing centre for yarn and cloth in the 12th century, when pasture enclosure and liming rendered the East Anglian soil too rich for the older agrarian sheep breeds. In the same period, many weavers from Flanders moved to Norfolk.[1][2] "Worsted" yarns/fabrics are distinct from woollens (though both are made from sheep's wool): the former is considered stronger, finer, smoother, and harder than the latter.
Worsted was made from the long-staple pasture wool from sheep breeds such as Teeswaters, Old Leicester Longwool and Romney Marsh. Pasture wool was not carded; instead it was washed, gilled and combed (using heated long-tooth metal combs), oiled and finally spun. When woven, worsteds were scoured but not fulled.[3]
Worsted wool fabric is typically used in the making of tailored garments such as suits, as opposed to woollen wool, which is used for knitted items such as sweaters.

Worsted yarn made from Merino wool
The essential feature of worsted yarn is straight, parallel fibres. Originally, long, fine staple wool was spun to create worsted yarn; today, other long fibres are also used.[4]
Many spinners differentiate between worsted preparation and worsted spinning. Worsted preparation refers to the way the fibre is prepared before spinning, using ginning machines which force the fibre staples to lie parallel to each other. Once these fibres have been made into a top, they are then combed to remove the short fibres. The long fibres are combined in subsequent gilling machines to again make the fibres parallel. This produces overlapping untwisted strands called slivers. Worsted spinning refers to using a worsted technique, which produces a smooth yarn in which the fibres lie parallel.
Roving and wool top are often used to spin worsted yarn. Many hand spinners buy their fibre in roving or top form. Top and roving are ropelike in appearance, in that they can be thick and long. While some mills put a slight twist in the rovings they make, it is not enough twist to be a yarn. The fibres in top and rovings all lie parallel to one another along the length, which makes top ideal for spinning worsted yarns.
Worsted-spun yarns, used to create worsted fabric, are spun from fibres that have been combed, to ensure that the fibres all run the same direction, butt-end (for wool, the end that was cut in shearing the sheep) to tip, and remain parallel. A short draw is used in spinning worsted fibres (as opposed to a long draw).
In short draw spinning, spun from combed roving, sliver or wool top, the spinners keep their hands very close to each other. The fibres are held fanned out in one hand while the other hand pulls a small number from the mass. The twist is kept between the second hand and the wheel—there is never any twist between the two hands.
The cloth[edit]
Worsted cloth, archaically also known as stuff, is lightweight and has a coarse texture. The weave is usually twill or plain. Twilled fabrics such as whipcord, gabardine and serge are often made from worsted yarn. Worsted fabric made from wool has a natural recovery, meaning that it is resilient and quickly returns to its natural shape, but non-glossy worsted will shine with use or abrasion.
Worsteds differ from woollens, in that the natural crimp of the wool fibre is removed in the process of spinning the yarn. In 'tropical' worsteds this use of tightly spun, straightened wool combined with a looser weave permits the free flow of air through the fabric.
Worsted is also used for carpets, clothing, hosiery, gloves and baize.
Weight[edit]
According to the Craft Yarn Council, the term "Worsted Weight", also known as "Afghan", "Aran", or simply "Medium", refers to a particular weight of yarn that produces a gauge of 16–20 stitches per 4 inches of stockinette, and is best knitted with 4.5mm to 5.5mm needles (US size 7–9).[5]
Automation[edit]
Before the introduction of automatic machinery, there was little difficulty in attaining a straight fibre, as long wool was always used, and the sliver was made up by hand, using combs. The introduction of Richard Arkwright's water frame in 1771, and the later introduction of cap and mule spinning machines, required perfectly prepared slivers. Many manufactories used one or more preparatory combing machines (called gill-boxes) before worsting, to ensure straight fibres and to distribute the lubricant evenly.

UPDATED: The "Hunger Games" sequel bites off a massive $110.2 million over the long holiday; "Frozen" follows with $93 million after earning a coveted A+ CinemaScore.
Thanks to a pair of shrewd female heroines, Hollywood enjoyed its most prosperous Thanksgiving on record as holdover The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and new animated tentpole Frozen turned in ferocious performances, each earning more than any previous holiday title.
Any celebration, however, was muted by the death of actor Paul Walker in a fiery crash Saturday.
Catching Fire grossed $110.2 million from 4,163 theaters over the five-day holiday (Wednesday-Sunday), becoming the top Thanksgiving title of all time after sailing past the $82.4 million earned by Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. For the weekend itself, the Lionsgate sequel took in $74.5 million -- the fourth best second weekend in history after The Avengers ($103.1 million), Avatar ($75.6 million) and The Dark Knight ($75.2 million).
Catching Fire has now earned $296.5 million domestically. Overseas the title, costing $130 million to produce, took in another $92.5 million for an international total of $276.5 million and a massive global haul of $573 million.
Disney's Frozen, opening Wednesday, scored the top Thanksgiving debut of all time with a five-day gross of $93 million, eclipsing the $80.1 million five-day launch of Pixar's Toy Story 2 in 1999. It also scored the top opening for a Disney Animation Studios title, besting the $68.7 million grossed by Tangled over Thanksgiving in 2010. For the three-day weekend, Frozen took in $74.5 million.
Loosely based on Hans Christian Andersen's classic fairy tale The Snow Queen, Frozen -- earning a coveted A+ CinemaScore -- tells the story of a fearless princess (Kristen Bell) who sets off on an epic journey to find her sister, whose icy powers have caused an eternal winter. Last weekend, the 3D pic, costing $150 million to make, did big business when it played exclusively at Disney's El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood.
Kids between the ages of 2 and 11 made up the largest percentage of the audience (38 percent), while families overall made up 81 percent. The movie skewed female, although males made up a healthy 43 percent of ticket buyers, according to Disney.
Overseas, Frozen earned $16.7 million as it began rolling out in a handful of markets for a worldwide debut of $109.7 million.
Led in large part by Frozen and Catching Fire, domestic box office revenue for the five-day holiday clocked in at roughly $294 million, up nearly 3 percent from last year's record $291 million.
After Frozen, the news was mixed for the other new holiday films.
Action-thriller Homefront, starring Jason Statham, placed No. 6 with a five-day debut of $9.8 million and a three-day gross of $7 million. Homefront, receiving a B CinemaScore, features Statham as a widowed ex-DEA agent who moves to a small town with his daughter, only to have the decision blow up in his face. James Franco and Winona Ryder also star.
Spike Lee's Oldboy, playing in 583 theaters Wednesday, bombed in its North American launch, earning roughly $1.2 million for the five days. From a script by Mark Protosevich, the remake of the cult South Korean film stars Josh Brolin, Elizabeth Olsen and Sharlto Copley. Oldboy marks the final release from Peter Schlessel's FilmDistrict before Schlessel officially takes over as CEO of Focus Features on Jan. 1.
Among adult-skewing fare, 20th Century Fox's The Book Thief, Fox Searchlight's African-American musical Black Nativity and The Weinstein Co.'s Philomena have all landed on the top 10 chart.
The Book Thief, opening in select cities earlier this month in a bid to build word of mouth and expanding into a total of 1,234 theaters on Wednesday, placed No. 7 with a five-day gross of $6.4 million. Based on the best-selling novel by Markus Zusak about a young girl living with her foster parents in Nazi Germany, the film stars Geoffrey Rush, Emily Watson, Sophie Nelisse and Ben Schnetzer. To date, it has earned $7.9 million.
Directed by Kasi Lemmons and based loosely on Langston Hughes' play, Black Nativity's ensemble cast is led by Forest Whitaker, Angela Bassett, Tyrese Gibson, Jennifer Hudson and Mary J. Blige.
Stephen Frears' critically acclaimed Philomena, now playing in a total of 853 locations, came in No. 9 with a five-day gross of $4.6 million. The awards contender, starring Judi Dench and Steve Coogan, enjoyed the biggest jump of any film from Thursday to Friday (207 percent), as well as from Friday to Saturday (8 percent).
Among holdovers, Disney and Marvel Studios took the No. 3 slot with Thor: The Dark World. The tentpole grossed a solid $15.5 million domestically for the five-days, pushing its domestic total to $186.7 million. Internationally, it earned $12.2 million for the weekend for a foreign total of $404.4 million and a global cume of $591.1 million.
DreamWorks and Disney's Vince Vaughn dramedy Delivery Man showed signs of life after a difficult start last weekend, coming No. 5 with five-day earnings of $9.8 million. The pic has now earned $19.5 million in North America after costing a modest $22 million to produce.

Die Wissenschaftssoziologie untersucht die Wissenschaft als soziale Einrichtung und konzentriert sich auf die Wissenschaftler als soziale Gruppe sowie auf ihre Interaktionen mit anderen sozialen Gruppen.

Überschneidungen
Diese spezielle Soziologie überschneidet sich teilweise mit der Wissenssoziologie (die neben Wissenschaftswissen auch Alltagswissen, Religion, Weltanschauungen, Ideologien, Utopien, Mystik etc. zum Gegenstand hat). Wissenschaftssoziologie soll die Schwerpunkte der einzelnen Wissenschaftsbereiche und ihre Bedeutung für den sozialen Fortschritt sowie die Arbeitsweise der Wissenschaften selbst näher erforschen. Da aufgrund von Rationalisierung und Verwissenschaftlichung von Lebenswelt, Institutionen und Gesellschaft wissenschaftliche Standards und Rhetorik zunehmend dominant sind, entwickelte sich die Wissenschaftssoziologie zu einem großen Forschungszweig der Soziologie.

Gegenstand
Die Wissenschaftssoziologie beschäftigt sich mit
 den sozialen Bedingungen des naturwissenschaftlich-technischen Fortschritts,
 der gesellschaftlichen Ausdifferenzierung sowie der internen Differenzierung des Wissenschaftssystems,
 den Beziehungen zwischen Menschen und wissenschaftlichen Objekten,
 den wissenschaftsinternen oder weltanschaulichen sozialen Normen, die die Wissenschaftler befolgen,
 den Mechanismen der Zuteilung von Reputation auf wissenschaftliche Leistungen sowie
der Praxis wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisproduktion (in allen wissenschaftlichen Disziplinen).

Als Teildisziplin der Soziologie beleuchtet die Wissenschaftssoziologie die Auswirkungen politischer Entscheidungen, ökonomischer Rahmenbedingungen und Anreize sowie massenmedial verbreiteter Kommunikation auf das Handeln und Erwarten von Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern. Ein Zweig der Wissenschaftssoziologie ist die feministische Wissenschaftstheorie.

Aus dem Zusammenspiel wissenschaftsinterner und -externer Dynamiken ergeben sich Auswirkungen auch auf die Erkenntnistheorie: Forschung erscheint, folgt man dem "radikalen" Programm (strong programme) der Wissenschaftssoziologie, als ein einzigartig sozialer Prozess; auch die Produktion "harter" naturwissenschaftlicher Erkenntnis (Naturwissenschaft), von den Forschenden im Handlungszusammenhang "Labor" konstruiert, wird auf ihre sozialen Konstitutionsbedingungen, also auf ihre Einbettung in Praxiszusammenhänge untersucht.

Reviews: Starchild and the New Romantic; Borzoi; Gen Pop, Rose Mercie; Datenight (US)
Posted on 2019/02/12 | 2 comments
Our latest in a series of recaps of albums we loved from the last calendar year…
Starchild and the New Romantic, Language (Ghostly International)
Starchild and the New Romantic is the brainchild of New York-based Maryland transplant, Bryndon Cook. A multi-instrumentalist and vocalist who has also worked with fellow travelers like Devonté Hynes and Solange Knowles, Language is an exemplary slice of lush, 80s-inflected r&b. Drums don't so much hit as disperse, synths probe longingly, guitars flicker and wane. While the purple one's haze hangs thick over this set, you also hear the ambitious, heart-on-sleeve arrangements of bands like Force MD's or the Blue Nile – Cook's revelatory voice reminiscent of the underlauded Jesse Johnson or Melvin Riley in its plaintive tenor notes. As an added bonus, 'Only If U Knew' and 'Hangin' On' might be the best 'quiet storm' summoning slow jams I've heard in an age. It's a record that takes things back and pushes them forward simultaneously. Highlights include: "Hangin' On"; "Language"; "Good Stuff".

Borzoi, A Prayer for War (12XU)
Austin-based trio Borzoi released their latest, A Prayer for War, last September. I've listened to it many times since and, though I find it absolutely stunning, I've no real idea what to make of it – and that, friends, is what makes it great. Sure, there's elements of punk, acid-drenched post-punk, funk, a free kinda jazz, noise, dweebs, wasteoids, dickheads, righteous dudes, a fuckin' partridge in a mother fuckin' pear tree. All there. In the end, though, the record breaks down to a feeling – and that feeling is "tenuously hinged". The skittery, jittery atmosphere is shot through, here, with bursts of melody ("Schlock") and, in many other places, with a heavy boot to the face ("Lizard Men of the Third Reich"). Buckle up. Highlights include: "Schlock"; "Big Pink"; "The Tonsure Twist".

Rose Mercie, S-T (SDZ; Monofonus Press)
Rose Mercie is a quartet based in Montreuil, France. Their debut, self-titled album came out last March, and it's intoxicating. Stripping elements of hypnotic psych, folk and dream pop to their bare essentials – there's nothing adulterated in the arrangements or production here – then building them up again, with a layer of girl group in the rhythms and vocal interplay. Tracks like highlight, 'Moyen-Age', recall a less ornamental Broadcast; elsewhere, 'The End of Love' projects The Raincoats jamming in a hazy flat with the Velvet Underground. While largely bucolic in feel, there is a bit of welcome menace "In the Valley" – it's an album to sit with, the eight tracks unspooling at a deliberate pace. Settle in and listen. Highlights include: "Moyen-Age"; "Floating"; "How Can I Talk".

Datenight (US), Comin' Atcha' 100mph (Drop Medium)
Nashville, TN trio Datenight (US) serve up garage-punk with a side of power pop hooks and classic, driving midwestern rock on last February's Comin' Atcha' 100mph. It's an apt title, with no more than half of the dozen tracks in the set clocking in on the high side of two minutes. Each cut, though, leaves a mark; the melodies linger long after the band has roared on to the next. Be it the straight up Sonics' garage rumble of 'While it Lasts', the blissful lo-fi jangle of 'Poor Exchange' or the perfected combo of highlight, 'Tennessee Rider', the set drips with brio – it'll have you singing along, even when you don't know any of the words. Fab. Highlights include: "Tennessee Rider"; "Poor Exchange"; "In and Out".
Web: label bcamp fbook
Gen Pop, II (Feel It)
Olympia, WA-based Gen Pop released a six-track EP last May, entitled II. Lifting off from their devastatingly potent debut, On the Screen (released less than a year prior), II offers a virulent slice of old school hardcore for the modern world. Featuring MaryJane Dunphy and Ian Corrigan from the fantastic Vexx, the band manages to push a swirl of sounds into a tight timeframe. [Update: MaryJane Dunphy has left the band. Elle Svete both sings and plays guitar on "No Change"] features tepid vocals transposed over Flex Your Head-summoning musical righteousness, while tracks like 'Waxing State' and 'Din' inject a bit of post-punk jitter and Buzzcocks' guitar melodiousness. Highlights include: "No Change"; "Waxing State".

Reviews: Salad Boys, C.A.R., Ravyn Lenae, Zed Penguin, Ten High, Smokescreens
Part the second of our 'apology tour', in which we continue to dig through the list of records that touched us last year and make sure that we spread the good word.
Salad Boys, This is Glue (Trouble in Mind)
Christchurch, New Zealand's Salad Boys returned last February with their latest album, This is Glue, and it's a thrilling listen. Opener, "Blown Off" lifts off with a thrum like a motorik "Kids in America", before dissolving into a blissful Buzzcocks charged guitar run, and the remaining tracks employ shades of indie disco, the purest power-pop, pearlescent strum-pop ("Exaltation"), orphic psych and early REM jangle ("Psych Slasher"). It's lush, without being cloying; polished, but still retaining scuff and patina. Highlights include: "Psych Slasher"; "Right Time"; "Going Down Slow".
Web: label bcamp site
C.A.R., Pinned(Ransom Note)
Also released last February, Pinned, the latest from C.A.R. (the recording project of London-based Franco-Canadian Chloé Raunet) features elements of icy, Yaz(oo)-like new wave sensuality, post-punk empty spaces, and dubby trip-hop – all blended into transportive art-pop. There's a Nina Hagen art-bounce meets Grace Jones cool on tracks like "Heat", "Growing Pains" gradually adding gorgeous layers of glacial synths and ethereal background vocals to a stark bass/drum combo. C.A.R. has since released several remixes (I particularly enjoyed Peaking Lights' remix of 'Daughters'), one of which included a new song, "All But…", as a b-side. Highlights include: "Growing Pains"; "Heat"; "Cholera".

Ravyn Lenae, Crush EP (Atlantic/Three Twenty Three Music)
Ravyn Lenae hails from Chicago, and released a smoke bomb of an EP last February called Crush. Lifting off even higher than her dizzying 2016 debut, Moon Shoes, the EP provides an intoxicating cache of silky smooth, new-old school r&b tracks. Lenae's effortless voice balances featherweight highs and funky gnarl, moving stealthily through hazy grooves that evoke everything from Funkadelic, the Isleys, Erykah Badu, and Prince. Steve Lacey's head-swimming production provides highlights as well (see the introduction of the bass in "Computer Luv", on which he also provides vocal accompaniment). More of this, soon, please and thank you. Highlights include: "Closer (Ode 2U)"; "Computer Luv".

Sometimes, an album comes along whose constituent parts may seem familiar, but taking a step back to view the entire picture reveals something new and difficult to describe. A Ghost, A Beast, the debut full-length from Zed Penguin – the musical project of Edinburgh-based Australian, Matthew Winter – is such an album. The shapeshifting arrangements meld psych, chamber-pop, the wry, arty-rock of Zevon, and tensile post-punk, Winter's tremulous tone recalling a mix of Joe Jackson and Ian McCullough. Some moments transcend – to wit, the glorious 'End of Time', with it's shimmery jangle. Highlights include: "End of Time"; "Wandering"; "Violent Night".

Ten High, Autobondage EP (Hexbeat)
Our Arkansas pals in Ten High released the Autobondage EP this past October, and it slays. Five fuzzed-out, gonzo tracks held together by a steady, powerful bass/drum battery. The roiling opener, 'Dr. Choice' (featuring vocals by drummer Devan Theos) couldn't possibly be a more apt, 'in the red' introduction to the splendor on show here. Trading in the same gloriously trashy garage/blues/punk sleaze as debut, Self-Entitled, these tracks manage to tighten things up a notch, without losing any of their edge. Highlights include: "Dr. Choice"; "You Want It".

Smokescreens, Used to Yesterday (Slumberland)
L.A.-based quartet Smokescreens released their latest, Used to Yesterday, last summer. Appropriate to that season, the album is jam-packed with absolutely gorgeous power-(psych)pop and Paisley Underground-style hooks. The band's online bio mentions a mutual admiration for Dunedin sound between founders Chris Rosi and Corey Cunningham, and you can hear it loud and clear on tracks like 'Buddy'. But there's also a US spin on things, with 'Steel Blue Skies' adding a slacker-y take, and the band channeling the Velvets on 'Fool Me'. Highlights include: "Steel Blue Skies"; "Jolly Jane"; "Used to Yesterday".

Obnox Return with a Niggative Approach
Obnox, Niggative Approach (5/30/2017, 12XU)
Obnox is the musical alter ego of vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Lamont 'Bim' Thomas (pictured). Having released five long-players under this moniker in the last 3 years, the word 'prolific' seems apt. I must admit that new release, Niggative Approach, is the first one I've fully sat down with – and now I'm both damn glad I did and in a hurry to dig deeper into the earlier material.
The title might be a wink and a bow to Detroit hardcore godheads Negative Approach (whose singer, John Brannon, makes an appearance on the album's intro and outro), but the album is far too diverse, dense and interesting to damn with the faint praise of a hyphenated 'punk' or other descriptor. Frankly, there's so much going on in this record, it can be giddily overwhelming. Jazz, psych, garage, soul, blues, punk, funk, r&b, hip hop, Beastie Boys, Funkadelic, Rudy Ray Moore, Kid Congo, D'Angelo, Shabazz Palaces, Sun Ra, War, Curtis Mayfield, MF Doom, sky high riffs, heavy funk bass, kick drum grooves, eye of newt and a partridge in a motherfuckin' pear tree – all this and more await across the album's 14 tracks (excluding intro-/outro).
I found it best to just strap in, give in, and let it all wash over me, repeated listens bearing ever sweeter fruit. The spy theme raga of "You". The hot, humid synth feel of "Hardcore Matinee". The wide lapel groove of ""Beauty Like the Night". The diamond amidst the rough of the beautiful "Carmen, I Love You". Exhale.
Niggative Approach is out now, on 12XU. Monitor M. Thomas' (social media) movements on fbook and the twitt. No tour dates as yet, but here's hoping.
Highlights include: "Audio Rot"; "Afro Muffin"; "Carmen, I Love You"; "You"; "Niggative Approach"; "Beauty Like the Night".

Frank Moka Shares a Hook with a Message on "Nation Time"
Frank Moka, "Nation Time" (self-released)
Frank Moka is a Dallas-based percussionist who, as a member of The Funky Knuckles, has played with artists like Erykah Badu and Stanley Clarke. His new track, "Nation Time", is a tight blending of hook with message; groove with theory. Starting off like the feel good hit of the summer, its glistening, sunny piano chords and straight, snappy rhythm making you wish you had that cabriolet, the lyrics kick in and demand your attention – "now you got your shit together/what are you gonna do?" the opening question/salvo. While the song continues to feel airy and light, weighty topics abound: race, (comm)unity, police brutality, misogyny – the message is woven, and it's impossible to ignore the pattern. With a title that seems to reference Amiri Baraka and/or Joe McPhee (I don't know if it is intentional), this should maybe not be surprising.
On his SoundCloud page, Moka describes the song as "a Hip Hop/Pop track with a very powerful message", and he is being understated. Along with other new artists like Jamila Woods, Frank Moka shows that songs with undeniable hooks need not also be vapid. Points can be made while the groove moves you – open the windows, drop the top, and spread the word. In addition to SoundCloud, you can follow Frank Moka on fbook and the twitt. Here's hoping for more from him soon.

The (Soul Train) Line Forms Here – "Street Level", from Galaxians, Bumps
Galaxians, 'Street Level' (Youth Club Sounds)
Hailing from Leeds, UK, Galaxians are Jed Skinner (synthesizers, programming) and Matt Woodward (acoustic drums, more programming), together with vocalist Emma Mason. They've been releasing records since 2012, and I feel a bit disappointed in myself, to be honest, to have only just discovered them, courtesy of storming new joint, "Street Level".
Released as part of a collaboration between Leeds-based label, Youth Club Sounds, and promoters, Super Friendz, "Street Level" is a movin', groovin', burning 80s throwback r&b/electro-disco jam. Like a riposte to the classic D-Train track, "You're the One for Me", Mason roars the opposite while standing on the shoulders of greats like Evelyn 'Champagne' King and Teena Marie (the group's site also references Gwen Guthrie…we can dig it). Behind and all around her, a driving beat, slippery bass and squishy leads – the arrangement is fantastically dense. It'll put a smile on your face after a hard day, even if you're a weekend girl or guy (look it up, young'uns). Get up and dance…dance, I said.
"Street Level", as well as other Galaxians cuts, can be found on the Super Friendz/Youth Club Sounds "Collaborationz" (so many zeds!) mixtape, which can listen to here and purchase on the Galaxians' bandcamp page (where you can also check they're upcoming live dates). Hail Galaxians on fbook and the twitt.

"Paradise", from Glasgow's AMOR, is a Joy.
AMOR, Paradise 12″ (Night School)
"Calling from paradise/can you get through?"
AMOR is a Glasgow-based quartet comprising Richard Youngs, Luke Fowler, Michael Francis Duch and Paul Thomson – musicians with CVs as long as yer arm. Their 12″ single, Paradise features an a- and b-side of over 13 minutes: each summoning late-period disco/early house with the kind of propulsive emotional stamina worthy of an extended Larry Levan workout; each a rapturous hymn performed in a glitter-covered cathedral.
The a-side, title track begins with hand drums accenting a generous, four-on-the-floor beat; a cantering, two-note bassline turning rubbery and new(ly) romantic as it's joined by ever more insistent, ringing piano chords. The lyrics set a meditative mood ('all that this is/is interconnected…all that we know/is misunderstood'), Youngs' delicate, quavering tenor to falsetto reminding these ears of the Blue Nile's Paul Buchanan. The flip, "In Love an Arc", also takes time to reveal itself fully, beginning with abstract bowing and thumping before coalescing into another glorious soul-house revival show, a churning, relentless rhythm seeing the titular declaration through to the end. Get me to the church, on time.
Paradise is set for release March 31, courtesy of Night School; pre-order here. You can stream both tracks over at The Vinyl Factory.

Track Review: Nite-Funk, Let Me Be Me
Nite-Funk, "Let Me Be Me" (Glydezone)
G-funk maestro DâM-FunK (Damon Riddink) and new romantic Nite Jewel (Ramona Gonzalez) collaborate as Nite-Funk [see what they did there?]. Last year, the duo let loose "Can U Read Me" into the world, then fell silent. Now, they've announced plans to release a self-titled ep on July 1. "Let Me Be Me" is a taster track from that release, and it's great.
Where "Can U" veritably oozed 80s electro quiet storm romance – think Loose Ends, SOS Band and the Gap Band in full mack mode – "Let Me Be Me" bumps. It's a perfect twining of early 80s, electro-disco and g-funk hooks – new wave ch-chang guitars and glassy synth chords, a doggedly atomic bassline and funky keyboard solos that would make Roger drool. Like Control-era Janet riding a D-Train groove. The bright neon lights, big mauve city vibes given off by the ep's cover (below) perfectly suit the track's mood.
Nite-Funk's self-titled ep will be released on Riddink's Glydezone Recordings label. Get down on it – the soul train line forms here.

Long a Window into Minnesota's Frontier Days… Fort Snelling has more Stories to Tell
By Patricia Emerson @ Minn Historical Society
Not much has changed at Historic Fort Snelling in the past 40 years. The thousands of Minnesota schoolchildren who visit the fort on field trips each spring have many of the same experiences their parents' generation did.
Operated since the 1970s by the Minnesota Historical Society as a living history museum, Fort Snelling is designed to transport visitors 200 years back in time, using costumed re-enactors to teach them about the outpost's early days on the American frontier.
nterpreter Rose James of Minneapolis checks her phone while waiting in the employee break room at Fort Snelling the morning of May 2, 2016. She is dressed as a working class woman — "probably an enlisted soldier's wife," she said.
"It's a really limiting window into the history of the site," said Matt Cassady, a program development specialist for the Historical Society. "A big part of our programming for a long time has been trying to re-create the atmosphere of the early 1800s. That's a blip in the history of this place."
The fort has many more stories to tell, added Cassady, who began working there as a re-enactor in 2008.
The Historical Society hopes that by Fort Snelling's bicentennial in 2020, visitors will get a more complete picture of its complex past. The fort and its environs have been the backdrop for many pivotal moments in Minnesota history — some proud, other
Cassady, who serves on the Historical Society's 2020 initiative task force, said the group is working to develop new programming, which highlights episodes that are often overlooked.
One of the places they've turned to for help is the International Coalition of Sites of Conscience, a New York-based nonprofit organization that represents 225 historic sites in 55 countries, including Fort Snelling.
Sarah Pharaon, the coalition's training coordinator, has held two seminars with Fort Snelling and Historical Society staff members to prepare them to navigate difficult, often uncomfortable conversations about the site's darker chapters.
"Is it easy to do? Not necessarily. There's a reason museums and historic sites have existed for so many years in the way they have," Pharaon said. "There are always stories that are more comfortable to share, that are easier to tell."
Sharing Histories
While the fort's frontier days will remain part of its programming, that period will share the spotlight with several other histories.
One group that has long been conspicuously absent from Fort Snelling's programming is the Native American community.
Archaeological evidence suggests Native Americans have occupied the area around Fort Snelling for more than 10,000 years, and many Dakota trace the origin of their people to the confluence of the Minnesota and Mississippi rivers — a sacred site called "Bdote" in the Dakota language.
But it is also a site of tragedy for the Dakota people. Following the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862, innocent Dakota women, children and elderly men were imprisoned in a concentration camp in the river bottom. Many died there.

"From a Dakota perspective, I've heard many people say that it's a place of genesis and genocide," Cassady said.
Fort Snelling is also the site of Minnesota's first significant African-American population — as many as 20 slaves lived at the fort between 1820 and 1858. Among them were Dred and Harriet Scott, whose unsuccessful bid for freedom ended with a U.S. Supreme Court decision that pushed the country toward civil war.
It was also occupied by the all-black 25th Infantry of the U.S. Army — the famed Buffalo Soldiers — for a handful of years in the 1880s.
During World War II, the Military Intelligence Service operated a secret language school at the fort to teach Japanese-American soldiers to interrogate enemy prisoners and translate captured documents.
The school's graduates had a profound impact on the war effort and saved many lives — all of this while many of their families were locked away in internment camps in the western United States.
Over the past several years, the Historical Society has worked bits and pieces of these stories into its programming. A short orientation film shown at the visitor center now gives guests a taste of the fort's larger history.
Fort employees still wear period garb to keep up the look and feel of the frontier era, but they no longer portray characters from the early 1800s, which prevented them from answering visitor questions that fell outside the time period they "lived in." They are now able to speak to a wider range of the fort's history.
"That was when I saw the first shift in visitor expectations," Cassady said. "It allowed the staff to talk about the bigger picture." The Historical Society's plans for its 2020 bicentennial would move the site further in that direction.
In addition to expanded programming, these plans call for a new three-story visitor center in one of two 135-year-old barracks buildings adjacent to the historic fort. This facility would include permanent or rotating exhibits addressing the full spectrum of the fort's history.
The new visitor center would also include venues for community groups to hold lectures, film screenings and other events related to the site. It would also house the fort's museum store, meeting rooms and staff offices. The current visitor center would be razed.
While the fort is now open seasonally for about seven months of the year, this new facility would allow it to remain open year-round.
A former ordnance warehouse next door would serve as an orientation center and would likely include a cafe.
"The new site will more actively explore that wider range of history," Cassady said. "Over the next few years, we're going to be phasing in different elements, so that by 2020, the experience you have here will be different than anything you've ever seen."

Microsoft will employ a "flanking strategy" to try to capture a broad swath of the mobile search ad market.
The booming mobile search advertising will grow 112 percent within five years, making it imperative for market leader Google to take steps to defend itself against a search-hungry Microsoft, according to an analyst from The Kelsey Group.
The slowdown in traditional search engine growth is one of the reasons mobile search advertising sales will balloon from $33.2 million this year to $1.4 billion by 2012, said analyst Matt Booth.
Booth said slower growth in traditional top-line sales will force Google, Microsoft and Yahoo to attack the mobile ad market to protect their valuations.
Moreover, Googles ad overhang, in which the search giant has billed advertisers for ads even when there isnt enough traffic to clear them all, is between $1 billion and $2 billion, he said. Google is likely looking to the mobile space to clean its ad plate, with rumors of a Google phone swirling and the companys pledge to bid $4.6 billion on 700 MHz wireless spectrum.
Read more here about rumors of a Google phone.
"If Google had a ton more traffic through mobile [devices], could it deploy paid links. All of a sudden, it would have a readily monetize-able platform and it could clear out some of that ad overhang," Booth said.
Officials at Google, based in Mountain View, Calif., declined to comment, but the growth potential will put more pressure on Google to defend its turf from Microsoft and others looking to capture as much of this new Internet advertising frontier as possible.
Booth said Microsoft, of Redmond, Wash., will likely employ a "flanking strategy" using mobile to catch Google in the search market.
Likely moves include bundling assets from its purchase of VOIP (voice over Internet Protocol) provider Tellme Networks with MSN products and services, and deep partnerships with companies like AT&T and Verizon.
To read more about Microsoft bid to acquire Tellme Networks, click here.
Microsoft has also acquired ScreenTonic, which serves text and display ads to mobile phones and devices, and will likely make this a central piece of its platform.
Microsoft refused to detail its future moves, but spokesperson Whitney Burk told eWEEK, "We firmly believe that mobile advertising will be a strategic market opportunity in the coming months and years, and are therefore committed to furthering our investments in this space."
Burk added that through ScreenTonic, Microsoft is currently serving ads for more than 200 mobile advertisers and has sold more than 1.5 billion mobile ad impressions.
Should Microsoft attain massive mobile share, it could gradually push deeper into search, Booth said, noting that as Googles search share in Europe has grown, so has its mobile market share.


Inhalation and atmospheric pollution studies have focused on particulate matter due to correlations and associations with various morbidities and mortalities. This research analyzed ambient concentrations of inhalable particulate matter (PM10) on the island of Curaçao in order to evaluate through comparative literature analysis and recommended public health guidelines the potential health risks. Available hourly, daily and monthly PM10 measurements were accessed from June 2010 through December 2014 from a local air monitoring station in Willemstad. Mean annual concentrations of PM10 (31 – 122 μg/m3) in Curaçao are among the highest reported globally, demonstrating an increasing trend over time and exceed current public health guidelines recommended by local and international agencies. While the epidemiological evidence is inadequate to infer a causal association between health effects and long-term exposures of the measured PM10 concentrations, the results indicate that emissions controls are not adequate for compliance with international exposure standards.
