Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to present an analytical framework to examine the impact of international factors on "One Country, Two Systems" in general and Hong Kong's democratization in particular. Design/methodology/approach: The paper has adopted a behavioral approach to identify the agents, mechanisms and observable facets of external–internal interactions. Findings: The need for international recognition on the performance of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) under Chinese sovereignty has provided external actors with the necessary leverage. Though the impact of the international community has been indirect and limited, the authors have identified two mechanisms – lesson drawing and socialization – whereby the impact of international actors and their actions towards Hong Kong may be subtly felt. Moreover, there are at least three observable facets of external actions which are pertinent to the democracy issue. At the end of day, the external impacts will be determined not by the international actors per se but the balance of power between the domestic actors in Hong Kong. Originality/value: There is a scholarly consensus that international factors matter to Hong Kong. But there has been a lack of serious investigation as to why and how they matter. The observable facets of external–internal interactions and the mechanisms identified in this work have not only enriched our understanding of the relevance of external factors in Hong Kong affairs, but also provided a sound foundation for future research.

Since the beginning of this year I have been introduced to CBD products for both massage and oral intake. I'm amazed at the results.
I am carrying CBD products by Color Up and will be using them in some of my services. I'm starting with the massage oils and salves, the benefits are astounding!
I'm sure I'm one of many that have been wary about using any product with cannabis. Whether it is because of drug testing or in my case, just not wanting the feeling of being high.
CBD is a different plant, the hemp plant.
Will CBD get you high? – No! CBD is non-psychoactive, unlike THC, this means there is not the associated "high" that comes along with use of THC rich strains or products.
CBD will show up on a drug test?
To date, topical use has not been associated to a failed drug-test. It may be possible when hair follicle testing is used for the screen, however, typical fluid testing has not created a failure to our knowledge. Even ingesting pure CBD products will not be cause for a failed drug test. As far as research and experimentation have confirmed thus far, screenings test for THC and not CBD.
What is CBD and what is the the Endocannabinoid System?
The endogenous cannabinoid system,named after the plant that led to its discovery, is perhaps the most important physiologic system involved in establishing and maintaining human health. Endocannabinoids and their receptors are found throughout the body: in the brain, organs, connective tissues, glands, and immune cells. In each tissue, the cannabinoid system performs different tasks, but the goal is always the same: homeostasis, the maintenance of a stable internal environment despite fluctuations in the external environment.
The pure CBD starts with a CO2 extraction and is then isolated out. This means that on test, it will show as 99.997% CBD with 0% THC and 0% other cannabinoids. Full Spectrum starts and ends with a CO2 extraction – it is full plant extract and once extracted it will test at a high amount of CBD with a low amount of THC and other cannabinoids such as CBC, CBG, and CBN. CBD is known to be a very powerful cannabinoid on its own and is very effective without the other cannabinoids being present.
The "entourage" effects of the Full Spectrum may be necessary for some conditions – more specifically internally, but topically is has been shown that CBD is the better choice.
Endocannabinoids and cannabinoids are also found at the intersection of the body's various systems, allowing communication and coordination between different cell types. At the site of an injury, for example, cannabinoids can be found decreasing there lease of activators and sensitizers from the injured tissue, stabilizing the nerve cell to prevent excessive firing, and calming nearby immune cells to prevent release of pro-inflammatory substances. Three different mechanisms of action on three different cell types for a single purpose: minimize the pain and damage caused by the injury.
The endocannabinoid system,with its complex actions in our immune system, nervous system, and all of the body's organs, is literally a bridge between body and mind. By understanding this system we begin to see a mechanism that explains how states of consciousness can promote health or disease.

Former NBA Star Latrell Sprewell Living Very Modest After
Former NBA star Latrell Sprewell is the latest professional athlete to run into post-career financial problems. Several websites are reporting the retired basketball star has blown through his fortune."During the course of his career, Latrell Sprewell made over $100 million. Today, Celebrity NetWorth reports that he has around $50,000 and lives in a modest rental," said Financial Juneteeth.Sprewell, who was 24th in the 1992 NBA draft, played for several teams, but he was infamous for his altercation with Golden State Warriors coach P.J. Carlesimo. After Carlesimo criticized his passing, Sprewell fought his coach and choked him. He then returned, after showering, and punched Carlesimo, before being dragged away by assistant coaches. He had also previously fought with other teammates, threatening one with a plank of wood and a gun.However, the choking incident cost Sprewell dearly. He was suspended by the NBA for a year and the Golden State Warriors cancelled the rest of his contract which was worth $23 million over three years.He was later traded to the New York Knicks and then the Minnesota Timberwolves, where he received negative publicity for turning down a three-year, $21 million-contract extension, claiming it wasn't enough to take care of his family."I have a family to feed … If (team owner Glen) Taylor wants to see my family fed, he better cough up some money. Otherwise, you're going to see these kids in one of those Sally Struthers commercials (where she solicits donations for starving children in developing countries) soon," Sprewell said at the time.Sprewell's troubled reputation preceded him and other NBA teams saw him as too much of a risk to take on."Sprewell played one more year for Minnesota without the contract extension, and played miserably," Financial Juneteeth reported. "Still thinking higher of himself than the teams or coaches he negotiated with, he was never again able to agree on a salary and has not played professional ball since. So, some might say that his negative attitude caught up with him because no NBA team wants to sign an angry old man whose best days are behind him."However, Sprewell's retirement has been filled with as much bad PR and brushes with the law as his playing career. His daughter was attacked by one of his pit bulls, and he was accused of stealing by a junior college. He was investigated by police for choking a woman on his yacht and also sued by the mother of his four children for $200 million.Sprewell had several financial problems after he retired. His $1.5 million yacht was seized after he defaulted on a mortgage, and he had two homes foreclosed.Unfortunately, Sprewell is not the only retired athlete to face financial hardship. Many ex-jocks run into money problems when their income drops from a huge contract to a pension. They still have extensive financial commitments to ex-wives, mothers of their children, family and lavish lifestyles to maintain. Many athletes are also ripped off by unscrupulous advisers, who know their clients don't understand the complex world of finance.Former baseball player Torii Hunter told Sports Illustrated financial terms sound like another language to pro athletes."Once you get into the financial stuff, and it sounds like Japanese, guys are just like, 'I ain't going back.' They're lost," Hunter said.According to Sports Illustrated, most ex-professional athletes are broke within a few years of retirement."By the time they have been retired for two years, 78 percent of former NFL players have gone bankrupt or are under financial stress because of joblessness or divorce," reported Sports Illustrated. "Within five years of retirement, an estimated 60 percent of former NBA players are broke." read more

Inside the amazing Spruce Goose at the Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum
The Spruce Goose, SR-71, spaceplanes and MiGs at Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum Evergreen is no one-trick goose, er, pony. Immaculate aircraft from every decade of flight fill two massive hangars, plus several aircraft outside. In the shadow of the Goose is a PBY Catalina, one of the oldest airworthy DC-3s (that you can also go inside), several Cold War-era jets and more. Across the parking lot, past the theater building, is the museum's collection of more modern aircraft: an SR-71 Blackbird, A-10 Warthog, MiG-23 and a multitude of helicopters. Going a bit higher and faster, the "space" part of the museum includes a Titan missile, X-38 experimental re-entry vehicle, and several replicas of Apollo-era landers and modules. 63 Photos It was 1942. The Second World War was raging. The US needed to get men and supplies across the Atlantic, a passage menaced by German U-boats. Famed shipwright Henry Kaiser had an idea, and he enlisted the help of legendary aircraft designer and business mogul Howard Hughes to bring it to fruition: an enormous flying cargo ship. The H-4 Hercules, aka the Spruce Goose, was born.Hughes would be accused of war profiteering, and, perhaps out of spite, finished and even flew the H-4. It flew once, and only for 26 seconds. Afterward it lived in a climate-controlled Long Beach hangar until Hughes' death in 1976. In the '90s, the H-4 made one last trip to its permanent home not far from Portland, Oregon, to the excellent Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum. The Spruce Goose is a marvel even now, over 70 years since its first, and last, flight. You can even go inside… which I did. Share your voice Ghost blimps haunt a humongous hangar at the Tillamook Air Museum Apocalypse then: Inside the chilling Titan Missile Museum The fabulous flying boats of the Solent Sky museum Boeings, bombers and biplanes at the Seattle Museum of Flight More tours 1 The Evergreen is also one of the more expensive museums I've toured. $27 to get in, plus $30 for a 15-minute, or $50 for a 45-minute, tour of the flight deck of the Spruce Goose. Given the size and variety at the museum, however, I felt I got my money's worth. If you have limited time in the area, you could spend the morning checking out the ghosts of blimps past at Tillamook Air Museum, and do Evergreen in the afternoon, as I did, for a day of amazing aviation history. As well as covering TV and other display tech, Geoff does photo tours of cool museums and locations around the world including nuclear submarines, massive aircraft carriers, medieval castles, airplane graveyards and more. You can follow his exploits on Instagram, Twitter, and on his travel blog BaldNomad. He also wrote a bestselling sci-fi novel. Tags Evergreen Air It's hard to miss the Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum. There's not one but two 747s out front and one is stuck on the roof of a waterpark, believe it or not. In the museum's main parking lot, between the two main buildings, you pass sleek MiG-29s and F-14s, and even catch a glimpse of the H-4 itself, sitting behind the enormous glass-walled front of the museum. Geoffrey Morrison/CNET Inside is one of the most impressive spaces I've ever seen. The H-4 dominates the expansive hangar while other aircraft sit under its 321-foot (98-meter) wings, looking almost like toys. On a family trip to California when I was a kid I saw the Spruce Goose in its geodesic Long Beach home. I barely remember it, but standing under the wing it's like I'm a kid again. I took the guided tour of the Goose's interior, snapped lots of photos, asked lots of questions, and even recorded this sweet 360 video from the cockpit: Comment Seaplanes to spaceplanes The Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum has many of my favorite aircraft, and all in excellent shape. I wish you could go inside more of them, but that's an expensive proposition, given the wear and tear this would inevitably cause to these classic aircraft.

Deputy sheriff 11 others killed in California shooting
A Ventura County Sheriffs officer stands near a vehicle near the Borderline Bar and Grill, where a mass shooting occurred on 8 November 2018 in Thousand Oaks, California. Photo: AFPA gunman killed 12 people including a sheriff's deputy after he walked into a Southern California bar and started shooting late on Wednesday night, police said.The gunman was also killed, Ventura County Sheriff Geoff Dean told a news conference early on Thursday, though it was not immediately clear by whom.An unknown number of people were wounded during the attack at the Borderline Bar and Grill, a country & western venue in the Los Angeles suburb of Thousand Oaks."It's a horrific scene in there," Dean said. "There is blood everywhere and the suspect is part of that."Officials said shots were still being fired when the first officers arrived at the scene.The dead officer was identified as Sergeant Ron Helus, a 29-year veteran of the department, Dean told reporters. Helus and a California Highway Patrol officer were the first to arrive at the bar and went inside just before 11:30 p.m. PST (0730 GMT).After a lull of about 15 minutes, more officers went inside and found the suspected gunman dead of a gunshot wound. It was not clear whether he killed himself or was killed by officers, Dean said.It was the latest mass shooting to rock the United States, six days after the death of two women at a yoga class in Tallahassee, Florida and 12 days after an anti-Semitic gunman entered a synagogue in Pittsburgh and killed 11 worshippers.President Donald Trump, who has resisted a surge in calls for tougher gun controls since 17 students were shot dead at Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida earlier this year, said on Twitter that he had been "fully briefed on the terrible shooting in California."Witness John Hedge told ABC News he was near the front door of the California bar when the shooting began. "I just started hearing these big pops. Pop pop pop," he said. "There was probably three or four. I hit the ground. I look up. The security guard … was shot, he was down. The gunman was throwing smoke grenades all over the place. I saw him point to the back at the cash register and he just kept firing."Dean estimated that 10 to 15 people, including one with a gunshot wound, had gone to area hospitals. He said he thought their injuries were minor, and that most of them were likely injured as they escaped, some by breaking windows."There were people hiding in restrooms, people hiding in attics," Dean said.Dean said that the shooter had a handgun and that at this early stage in the investigation he believed he had only one gun. Witnesses described a rapid sequence of shots that it made them think he was using a semi-automatic weapon.Thousand Oaks was named the third-safest city in the United States for 2018 by the website Niche."I've learned it doesn't matter what community you're in," Dean told reporters when asked if he was surprised this happened in Thousand Oaks. "It doesn't matter how safe your community is. It can happen anywhere."Taylor Von Molt, 21, told CNN that the shooter was wearing what looked like a bandana and a hoodie and was a burly man.She said she was part of a group of line dancers that met at the bar for a college night every Wednesday.None of the civilian victims were identified. Helus died while being treated at an area hospital several hours after he was shot, Dean said. read more

Partythemed sandesh sweettalk voters in Bengal
Kolkata: 'Sandesh' has been dressed up. It is on a catwalk either as the Trinamool's 'jora ghash phul' (twin-flower), BJP's Lotus, Congress' Hand symbol, or the hammer and sickle of CPI (M). These "Election sweets" are just flying off the shelves at Balaram Mullick and Radharaman Mullick — one of the oldest confectioners in the city or Shibani Sweets at Sodepur (the northern suburb). With the humble 'nakuldana' (flour-sugar balls) and 'Laddoo' taking centre stage in rural West Bengal's Lok Sabha elections, the confectioners in the city are not leaving any opportunity to bank on the frenzied ambience. Also Read – Rs 13,000 crore investment to provide 2 lakh jobs: Mamata 'Sandesh' (the cottage cheese sweet) is readily coming up in any form you wish. They have been flying off the shelves since the election drums were rolled. "We have been making these sweets during elections for many years. This year also the response is very good," Poppy Mullick of Balaram Mullick and Radharaman Mullick told IANS. Asked which of the party-themed sweets was selling the most, she jokingly said "no comments" mentioning that all the items were being sold. Also Read – Lightning kills 8, injures 16 in state Regarding the bulk orders placed by workers, Mullick gave a hint that 'the state's ruling party' Trinamool Congress tops the chart. They have priced a sweet of 250 grams at Rs 150. The Sodepur sweet shop that specialises in theme sweets during football and Cricket World Cup events, is offering decorative tray filled with huge sweets replicated as party symbols. Trinamool's 'jora ghash phul' (twin-flower), BJP's Lotus, Hand symbol of Congress, hammer and sickle of Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) have been given a sweet twist. They are carefully placed on the tray and the empty space is also filled with the Kheer Sandesh making it almost appear as a huge cake. "We are offering these big trays whose price range from Rs 800-2,000 and a small Sandesh is Rs 70," Sanjib Das, store's staff said. Das is elated as this year they are getting a "huge response". He mentioned that customers are so impressed that they are asking for larger sizes. The 'Trinamool' Sandesh are in great demand followed by BJP's. Sweets of other parties like Congress and CPI (M) are being sold but lesser than the others," Das said. Orders can also be customised as per the customers' demand. They also ensure that the customers get the freshest of quality, so after placing the order with alterations one shall have to wait for a little time. Almost fourteen to fifteen men are toiling hard to churn out these sweet delicacies laced with aesthetic appeal. "This is just the beginning, I am sure that as the election heat picks up, the demands will keep soaring. We will try our best to deliver," Das said. While Mullicks will stick to sweets with party symbols, Shibani Sweets will try to come up with sweets replicating leader's face if any customer demands. Amidst the high voltage campaigns, these sweets will add a dash of goodness and will be savoured by the supporters and the members of the winning party and candidates, the shop said. Already in the state, Trinamool Congress' Birbhum district President Anubrata Mondal's directive to party workers to hand over nakuldana and water to people to keep them cool in the oppressive summer months and the BJP's decision to distribute laddoo among the people as a counter move has added to the sweetness of the electoral contest. The seven-phased election in the state will commence on April 11 and the last date of the poll is May 19. Votes will be counted on May 23. read more

The Creator of the Worlds First PopUp Ad Apologizes for Everything
Hear from Polar Explorers, ultra marathoners, authors, artists and a range of other unique personalities to better understand the traits that make excellence possible. 2 min read Pop-up ads are, at best, a nuisance or, at worst, delivery systems for corrupting viruses that have signaled many a hard drive's demise. In reflecting on the Internet's 25th anniversary, Ethan Zuckerman, the creator of the code behind the very first pop-up ad, wants to say that he's sorry. Zuckerman, the director of MIT's Center for Civic Media penned an essay for The Atlantic on how advertising became the web's predominant business model, and what that means for internet users today, especially when it comes to privacy.Related: OkCupid Founder: 'If You Use the Internet, You're the Subject of Hundreds of Experiments'Zuckerman writes the idea for the pop-up ad came about while he was working for the web-hosting service Tripod.com in the mid-90s. "The model that got us acquired was analyzing users' personal homepages so we could better target ads to them. Along the way, we ended up creating one of the most hated tools in the advertiser's toolkit: the pop-up ad.""It was a way to associate an ad with a user's page without putting it directly on the page, which advertisers worried would imply an association between their brand and the page's content. Specifically, we came up with it when a major car company freaked out that they'd bought a banner ad on a page that celebrated anal sex. I wrote the code to launch the window and run an ad in it. I'm sorry. Our intentions were good."Related: How to Stop Google From Using Your Name and Face in AdsZuckerman argues that while an ad-supported Internet lowers financial barrier to entry, making it possible for platforms like Facebook and Twitter to build the sizable communities they have now, he sees the model as inherently broken. His suggestion is to move more widely towards a subscription model that would encourage people to pay to use the sites they love, while taking targeted data collection and surveillance out of the equation.Tell us: Do you think Zuckerman is on the right track? How do you feel about online advertising? August	15, 2014 How Success Happens Listen Now read more

Report: Brandon Phillips "more willing" to consider waiving no-trade clause
By Bill BaerNov 13, 2016, 8:09 PM EST
Jamie Sabau/Getty Images
Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports that Reds second baseman Brandon Phillips is "more willing" to consider waiving his no-trade clause. Phillips has just one year and $14 million remaining on his contract.
The Reds tried to trade the veteran — now 35 years old — last offseason, but Phillips vetoed two separate trades that would have sent him to the Nationals or Diamondbacks. As a result, the Reds lost interest in trying to facilitate a deal.
Phillips has been more or less average over the past five seasons, averaging about two Wins Above Replacement and an adjusted OPS of 95 according to Baseball Reference. While he is no longer the All-Star-caliber second baseman he once was, he still appears to have plenty left in the tank and could be useful for a team with a gap to fill at the position.
Dilson Herrera and Jose Peraza would be in line for playing time at second base in the event Phillips is traded.


A 24 hour emergency dentistin the neighborhood could prove to be very helpful if you happen to require dental services at an odd time. Be it a toothache, a matter of dentures or a matter of oral cancer screening and treatment, emergency dentists are aware of all that needs to be done. Additionally, they are good to go, around the clock. This makes the lives of people easy and keeps all dental-related stress away.
Sister cities with a city in Russia and another in South Africa, Berkeley has a little over 110,000 people.

Heather arranged my service and repair. She provided me with a beautiful loaner vehicle and made sure that everything was repaired properly. Thanks to the shop guys as well.
I recieved an oil change and transmission service today from Audi in Baton Rouge ,La. The service was spectactar as well as the enviroment I strongly recommend for a friend.
This is my second A3 of this model gen. Seems faster than my '16 even though both it and my new 2018 have the same specs . Probably the new tires and clean engine and fuel system. This isn't just a VW rebadged either. It's high class interior and exterior quality and design yet still let's you be a kid with ample low end power and speed. No VW less than $40k comes close to the quality build nor do you get the luxiry car service when taking your car in for service or when you just need something fixed. And this car isn't even close to $40k if you know how to buy cars with the inernet.
Heather in service was great! She made my service request easy and kept me informed about my repairs. Provided me a loaner car as well.
Finally bought the car I have wanted for some time. Have wanted another convertible for a while now .... and now I have it. Enjoying the prestige that comes with Audi. Could not have believed the performance and file mileage that this car has.


Repainting tennis courts surfaces in Abington ML12 6 is carried out to existing worn surfaces in order to enhance the appearance and surface grip which is set out by governing bodies LTA, SAPCA and ITF. The repainting system is usually sprayed and painted to rundown worn existing courts by a specialist contractor or builder and for this reason a waterbase court binder coat is usually applied to strengthen the existing surface and prolong the life of the court.
Tennis court repainting is the process of painting over an existing sport facility to restore the original qualities and improve the overall appearance of your court. The tennis court repainting is carried out to polymeric courts in a polyurethane moisture cure paint and is known as a flash coat because many polyurethane colour coatings are painted and sprayed onto a black EPDM rubber crumb surface. This makes certain that when the paint starts to wear down then the black rubber will start to show through highlighting the need to repaint the surface to keep the non slip resistant properties within the national governing bodies LTA, ITF, SAPCA specification. We'll also apply new tennis lines http://tenniscourtcontractors.co.uk/maintenance/tennis-court-relining/south-lanarkshire/abington/ to ensure that the flooring has the best playing qualities.
Sports courts surface re-painting on open textured porous macadam can also be carried out in a polyurethane colour coated paint specification however the majority of the tennis courts in Abington ML12 6 are painted in an acrylic water based painted system which is perfect to the tarmac surfaces. These aggregate rich coloured paint coatings need to be installed in the correct weather conditions when it is dry and not windy. You can fill in our contact form to speak to one of our experts closest to you and find out more about the prices to repaint courts at schools colleges and leisure centres.
This can meet the accreditations of SAPCA, ITF, LTA and the design can be tailor fit to fit your budgets, sizes restrictions onsite, dimensions of existing MUGA courts or sports pitch because some facilities might be a multi use games area designed for several sports including netball, basketball, football and small sided soccer. You can find out more about MUGA upgrades here - http://tenniscourtcontractors.co.uk/other/tennis-court-muga-upgrade/south-lanarkshire/abington/ or speak to our experts now.
If you are interested in finding out more regarding repainting tennis courts in Abington ML12 6 speak with our specialists today. We aim to give you all the information and details you require, to ensure you get exactly what you are looking for. Simply fill out the contact form provided and a member of our team will get back to you shortly.

Buzz Into Kinder: Five for Friday-- April 26th!
I am linking up with Doodle Bugs Teaching for Five for Friday. It's going to be short and sweet this week so I can actually post on Friday.
1. I dusted off my old teaching portfolio this week to take some pictures for some TPT friends. I took tons of pictures of the inside and will do a post on it later if you know someone who is interviewing soon maybe there is something they could use!
2. I had to take a day off this week. I was able to set my room up before I left on Monday. The kids had so much Earth Day fun I am not even sure they noticed I wasn't there.
3. My fiance is a 5th grade teacher so this week he was finishing off the last of the FCAT tests. I "made" him a celebratory dinner on Thursday when his testing ended. You should know that when I say made I really mean ordered from Outback and put it on real plates.
4. This was the parking lot when I left today. On a Friday. I need to not be the second to last person to leave on a Friday. I will leave before 6:30 next week. That is my goal.
5. Tomorrow I am participating in a K-2 Blog Hop with some other awesome Florida bloggers! Stop by each of our blogs for some free goodies!
(5 and a half). You should know my clock says 11:54! SUCCESS!
Check out Doodle Bugs for some Friday fun!
That's the way the parking lot looks when I GET to school! I come really early-I'm a morning person. No one is on the copy machine, it's quiet and I can get lots done! Your blog is cute and your TPT store looks great !
Love your post! :) I felt like I could have written part of it myself...#2, #4 and posting 6 minutes before Saturday! LOL! :) Congrats on being in the TPT newsletter today! Yay!!!

London, Feb 2020 – heavy metal and museums
Posted on Fri February 14, 2020 by Mosher
I've not posted anything on here in a while and wanted to document my recent trip to London with Austin (my son) to see his favourite band… Sabaton! We hopped on a train on the Friday and got to London in good time for a KFC once we'd checked into Clink261 where I stayed last year on the way to Germany. A cracking hostel, a very short walk from Kings X / Euston.
The weather wasn't great – one of those named storms came in – but we got pretty lucky with the weather. Most of Saturday was free, so we walked down to the British Museum and then on the Imperial War Museum where we had lunch with a very long-standing friend (notice that I avoided saying "old"), Alison. It must be a decade since we last met up, and it was great to finally see her again. We grew up together and have literally known each other all our lives.
With Sabaton's Pär
Austin and I made it to Wembley Arena in good time for our interview slot (just!), and I used his questions to find out some details about the band from founder member and bassist Pär Sundström. It's the third time I've interviewed him, so I was glad of the help coming up with the questions!
The gig was amazing. Everything we'd hoped for and more. The review is over on the Moshville Times site. We even got an invitation to the after-show party! OK, so the raucous days of Motley Crue and the like are kind of gone (especially when you involve lovely guys like the Sabaton crew) so it was OK to take an 11 year old with me. We had a quick drink each (lager for me, Coke for him), wept over the fact that it cost over a tenner, got an autograph and left. The time was well spent as it meant that the Tube station wasn't packed by the time we got there. Oh, and thanks to Kaie for the McDs at dinner!
I'd opted to spend an extra day in London rather than heading back on the Sunday, which turned out to be a good thing as almost every train and flight was cancelled due to the weather. We popped down to the Natural History Museum which was rammed with people avoiding the bad weather. The dinosaurs were, of course, the first stop and then we walked around The Cocoon which shows a lot of behind the scenes stuff. Really interesting.
For lunch, Austin opted for a Burger King so we walked along the road in the weather that seemed to be freaking out a lot of the locals. Honestly, you can tell they've never been to Glasgow. I mean, it was wet but hardly much more than a heavy shower! After lunch we went back to the NHS and explored the Human Biology exhibit. Which opened with "creating life". Which led onto that talk… Hey ho. Every day a learning day!
We had enough time to go to the Science Museum before it closed, and I was really happy to find they had a decoding / encryption exhibition on in the basement. I wonder if we have time to organise a school trip before it ends…? Austin had been a little bored just looking at things, but got absolutely buried in decoding messages in the activity area to the point that they had to usher us out at closing time!
For dinner we completed the "set" and had a Subway each, and used the rest of the evening to chill out. Unfortunately we couldn't shower as there had been a blockage in the pipes at the hostel and only the ones on the ground floor were working. Likewise the toilets… Not a major problem if people aren't selfish, but I did have to yell at two guys who had hogged the cubicles in the gents for 15 minutes. Come on, if you're taking that long to poo then you need a doctor not a lavatory!
Monday was a challenge, though. I signed up to travel alerts from Avanti West Coast as I knew there was still disruption from the Sunday. The first email told me to watch for more alerts. Then I was told that trains could get to Preston and a bus would cover the rest of the journey due to flooding. Then I was told all trains were cancelled from Euston and to go home via Kings X and Edinburgh. Then it was updated again to tell me that the train would leave from Euston after all, 27 minutes late, and go via an altered route to be back on schedule from Crewe.
At the show!
So off we walked to Euston only to find that the train wasn't on the board. Or any others to Glasgow. Checking at information, we were told to go to Kings X, which contradicted Avanti's email and website. Of course, we'd walked past Kings X so get to Euston… A hurried plod back there and we waited for the platform announcement we needed. And then we ran like hell to get a seat. Credit to Austin he flew as we headed for the front carriage (most people obviously went for the nearer ones) so we could grab a table, which we did. Teamwork!
On the way up, my phone kept buzzing. WordPress was informing me that our traffic was somewhat higher than normal. Sabaton had shared out review on facebook and it got a ton of views! A nice ego boost as the weather went from bad to worse outside.
We made Edinburgh in good time, Austin stopped me getting off in Newcastle when I felt homesick, and we managed to get a ScotRail train through the light snow to Bearsden so I could drop him right back with his mum. As a bonus, his big sister happened to be on the same train! Small world!
As it stands – this is the Friday after – my "Delay Repay" for the journey down has been refused by Avanti and I'm appealing it. They claim that the ticket I provided wasn't valid for the journey I was on. Which is crap as it's the exact same ticket their conductor scanned, and he's the one who told everyone to claim as we were almost half an hour late arriving. I've also got a claim in for the Monday as we were over ninety minutes late getting home then. Of course, there's no claim option for "train cancelled, had to get alternative service" so we'll see how that works out.

'Al Adamson: The Masterpiece Collection' Is One of the Year's Best Home Video Releases
Al Adamson was something special, and now he's gotten a Blu-ray box set to memorialize both the man and his work.
By Rob Hunter · Published on August 2nd, 2020
Filmmaker Al Adamson was one of a kind, and while his movies appeal only to a small segment of film lovers those that dig his work really and truly dig it. His life was tragically cut short by murder, but what a life it was. Severin Films has done something amazing in the world of dwindling practical media by putting together an ultimate box set of his films. It's an epic undertaking given the condition, availability, and conflicting information surrounding many of the films, but the result is among the very best of the year's home video releases.
Thirty one films are collected here — most are standalones while some are variations on others — and all but two were new to me before digging in to the set. It's quite the endeavor as the films are joined by an abundance of special features ranging from trailers to commentaries to interviews and more. There's a lot to take in here, but this is a set deserving of time and attention.
Now let's go explore Al Adamson – The Masterpiece Collection.
A recent and excellent documentary called Blood & Flesh: The Reel Life & Ghastly Death of Al Adamson is paired with one of the filmmaker's more popular releases. The doc is a fascinating glimpse into the artist's life with archival footage and interviews with friends and collaborators. He story is one of persistence, if not talent, and his end is tragic, and the film makes for an engaging introduction to his career and filmography as it explores his ambitions and efforts against the odds.
The Female Bunch opens with a chase that sees the survivor share a story of how she got there, and that story is the bulk of the film. She tells her story all the way until the final ten minutes, and the core of it involves a gang of women — feminists? not quite — who run rampage over the American southwest harassing men and women alike. It's fun and violent, and Russ Tamblyn's appearance as a man who threatens the gang only to pay a hefty price is an interesting wrinkle into the wild narrative. Less entertaining is the state of an unwell Lon Chaney Jr. in one of his final film appearances.

The Female Bunch (1971)
The Bunch Speaks Out [15:26] – Leslie McRay, Russ Tamblyn, Sharyn Wynters, Bud Cardos, and others including archival footage of Adamson himself talk about the film's production, its various titles, their memories of Lon Chaney Jr., their time at Spahn Ranch, and more. One highlight involves Cardos having to fly out of state to buy liquor for Chaney Jr. as they were filming in the dry state of Utah.
Extended scenes [2:02]
Three movies — that are essentially one movie as they share a lot of footage between them — are collected here. Psycho a Go-Go is a heist tale of sorts that sees the thieves stymied when the goods end up inside a child's doll, The Fiend with the Electronic Brain keeps that same basic plot but moves it slightly to the side to make room for John Carradine's mad scientist, and finally Blood of Ghastly Horror repeats step two by adding in even more crazy scientist shenanigans. Seeing the progression of ideas from one film to the next, each trying to land box-office gold in a different or bigger way, is actually more entertaining than the films themselves. You can see the thought process evolving even as the films grow sillier.

Commentary by producer/distributor Samuel M. Sherman
Here we get two westerns paired together with Half Way to Hell and Five Bloody Graves. The former is the oldest film in the set and technically directed by Adamson's father, Victor (aka Denver Dixon), and it's in many ways the most traditional film here too. Of course, it's arguably the least engaging and entertaining for that very reason as it's both straightforward and only teases the more exciting or exploitative elements that would become Adamson the younger's trademarks.
Five Bloody Graves is a different story all together, though, as it offers up a saucy, bloody, rude slice of western exploitation. The Native Americans are bloodthirsty savages (and played by White guys in makeup), the women are whores (or dead), and the white men move between morally upstanding and utterly cruel. The film follows a man's quest for revenge throughout the gorgeous landscapes of rural Utah, and while things get pretty nasty at times there's a playfulness to it all starting with the realization that it's narrated by Death.

Once again Severin brings together three films sharing some DNA. Blood of Dracula's Castle sees a young couple inherit a castle in Arizona, but when they arrive in the hopes of moving in they discover a pleasant vampire couple have been calling it home for centuries. Oh, and there's also a serial murderer who fancies himself something of a werewolf and a Frankenstein's monster-like servant to contend with too. House Hunters International this isn't. Dracula's Castle, meanwhile, is simply a television edit that mixes things up slightly by completing the killer's transformation into an actual werewolf.
Horror of the Blood Monsters may not recycle any of the footage from those films, but it's still a vampire tale that mashes up scenes from different sources including a creature feature from the Philippines. It's about a vampiric apocalypse that sees scientists send astronauts into space in search of help only to find all manners of trouble. The film plays around with color tinting as a story device and makes for a fairly trippy watch at times. It's wonky fun with nonsensical science, an abundance of ascots, and some of the grooviest sci-fi sets you've ever seen.

Here we get two films paired together that share footage and ideas, and it starts with The Fakers (aka Smashing the Crime Syndicate, which is the actual on-screen title here). The story centers on an FBI investigation into a counterfeit ring but also makes time for mobsters, Neo-Nazis, Russian spies, and more. The hero is a pretend bad guy who draws the line at statutory rape which is how you know he's a good guy. It's a fun romp made with more skill and production qualities than many of Adamson's films, and part of its appeal comes in its riffs on the James Bond films. Hell's Bloody Devils takes that same film with its spies, counterfeiters, and underage girls and adds in a Nazi motorcycle gang. The sub-plot meshes poorly into the existing narrative, but worse, the difference in picture quality is never less than immensely noticeable. Does that make it entertaining? Possibly, but The Fakers is the stronger film.

Disc Six
It's a double feature starting with one of Adamson's most popular films, Dracula vs Frankenstein, which sees a mad scientist team up with a bearded Dracula to resurrect Frankenstein's monster. I already hear you asking, "but Rob, is there a biker gang involved somehow?" and to that I answer with a resounding yes, obviously. We also get some hip cats, gory beats, more sad Lon Chaney Jr., and archival footage of protests that appear to be ancestors of the ongoing Black Lives Matter marches. It's an oddity all right.
Brain of Blood is Adamson's attempt at aping the style of genre fare from the Philippines — for some reason — with a tale about a brain transplant gone awry. Has one of those operations ever worked out flawlessly in the movies? I think not. It's suitably ridiculous, but as is often the case with his films that's just part of its charms as a hulking brute with a "normal" guy's brain is caught up in terrors beyond his apparent control.

Disc Seven
Two biker flicks filled with leather, denim, exhaust fumes, violence, and sexual assault, are paired here, so proceed accordingly. Angels' Wild Women opens with a woman being chased and attacked by two men, and her gang of tough women arrives too late to stop it but in plenty of time to kick the rapists' asses. Adamson tosses in a killer cult and some time at Spahn Ranch for good measure. Satan's Sadists focuses more on the guys in the gang as antiheroes, possibly, who wreak havoc across a desert on the men and women who cross their paths. They eventually collapse from within but not before a lot of carnage and death unfolds. Both films go heavy with the tough gals/guys theme as they take apart others, and while punishment wins out it's a long, dusty ride getting there.

Disc Eight
Things gets saucy with a double feature of stewardesses out of control. The Naughty Stewardesses features plenty of the title character shenanigans, but rather than be a straightforward T&A story line Adamson adds in a kidnapping too. Boobs, butts, and bad guys abound, but even with an assault the film's most questionable scene involves a little boy watching as a stewardess drops her underwear and gets fondled — it's all in a master shot, so that kid got an eyeful. And then there's Blazing Stewardesses… the buxom flight attendants are back, and the film opens with more of their naughty shenanigans, but the main story line shifts to focus on some older film/TV stars in a western tale. Bad guys on horseback, Yvonne DeCarlo as a madam of a cowboy-themed brothel, and some belabored attempts at comedy follow as the film tries and fails to balance two halves. Still, the Adamson beats you know and love are all present.

Disc Nine
Severin triples down on the saucy antics with a trio of T&A fueled thrillers populated with double-dealing dudes and bad-ass broads as only Adamson can deliver. Girls for Rent is up first and follows a road trip of sorts as two tough women chase down a third while dealing with all manner of perverts and complications. It's a solid ride even with budget limitations thanks to some fun interactions, car chase antics, and action beats. Keep an eye out for a pretty nasty mid-coitus kill, too.
Nurses for Sale shares a similar sounding title, but instead of being bad girls these ladies are good women forced into action by circumstance and bad guys. It all starts straightforward enough — nurses getting naughty in between patient care — but soon enough the action shifts to a third world country filled with bandits, rebels, and a need for visiting nurses to do their stuff. Adamson tosses in some broad comedy here alongside a surprising amount of time spent with soldiers, thugs, and weirdos. I say surprising because, come on, there's a bunch of nurses just standing around! Adamson remembers that fact for the third act just in time for things to get nasty with assaults, acid attacks, and more.
The disc wraps up with a rape/revenge western called Jessi's Girls that sees a wronged woman team up with some female outlaws to dish out justice with a side of fleshy shenanigans. Adamson once again takes good advantage of his rural locations and delivers some entertaining action leading up to a solid shootout in the end. It's honestly one of Adamson's better films, and even with his indie budget he delivers a pretty well crafted slice of western exploitation.

Disc Ten
Adamson dips his toes into the blaxploitation sub-genre with this double feature, and it starts with Black Heat. The film pits a determined cop named Kicks against a vicious gangster played by Russ Tamblyn (in his final collaboration with the filmmaker), and the action features shootouts, skinny-dipping, car crashes, and more. Title aside, it actually avoids most of the tropes of blaxploitation cinema and instead plays it straight with a tough Black cop kicking ass to avenge his partner and bring down the big bad. It's good stuff although this being an Adamson film, there's of course an out of the blue and fairly vicious rape scene too.
Dynamite Brothers sees an Asian and a Black man — named Larry Chin and Stud Brown, respectively, and of course — handcuffed together and forced on the run. Gangsters and bad memories plague their journey, but it's a dirty cop who's the biggest threat. This one's again categorized under blaxploitation, but the Asian element actually gets more screen through martial arts fight scenes, a central subplot, and the always welcome presence of James Hong. Brown's storyline sees his friends crossing paths with rival tough guys and nameless cops, though, too. It's the weaker of the two films as things drag at times, but it's still a somewhat more mature effort from Adamson even if it does feature a car explosion and another crash recycled into Black Heat.

Alternate intro and title sequence
Disc Eleven
Adamson's foray into blaxploitation films continues with these two titles, and both are a bit closer to what you're probably expecting from the sub-genre. Well, within reason. Mean Mother is an odd hybrid of a film utilizing footage from a Spanish feature alongside new material shot by Adamson. The new scenes are focused on a Black Vietnam veteran who returns to America and finds himself knee deep in criminals, dead bodies, and beautiful women. His friend from the war, meanwhile, heads to Spain with similar results. The two halves don't quite gel, but we get plenty of tough dialogue, mild shoot outs, action beats, and T&A. It's not a highlight in Adamson's filmography, but it's an interesting oddity.
Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin might seem like a strange bedfellow with Adamson — might? it absolutely is — but the story of its production is exactly what you'd expect from the filmmaker. The film existed for a decade before Adamson was brought in to kick things up a notch with extra sex and violence, and the result is something. The bulk of the film is original with his additions spliced in fairly well. They blend in in part because the original film, while essentially rated G, is still a grim affair that suggests plenty. Adamson just leaves little to the imagination.
Mean Mother (1973)
The Joy of Marilyn Joi [17:00] – The actor shares memories from her early career as a dancer, the highs and lows of being a Black performer in the 60s, and her move into movies. She shows a real affection for Adamson and sadness over his death, and her anecdotes about auditions are good fun.
Uncle Tom's Cabin (1977)
TV and radio spots
Disc Twelve
Two more films round out Adamson's foray into blaxploitation, but once again these films don't quite meet expectations for the sub-genre. Instead they're action films with a Black lead in Jim Kelly who kicks ass across the board. Secret agents need vacations too, but when the Black Samurai learns that his girlfriend has been abducted by baddies he jumps into action. Jumps, punches, kicks, drives, and flies a mother fucking jet pack. It's silly and rough as hell around the edges, but you can't argue with a movie that pits Kelly against a pissed off vulture in a battle of fists and beak.
Death Dimension is more of the same as Kelly chases thugs in possession of a "weather machine" capable of instant freezing people with targeted snow storms. Sure, whatever. It opens with a precise but nasty little surgery — I still can't decide if it's special effects or someone actually getting their hairline sliced open to insert a small disc — before shifting into more traditional martial arts fights, car chases, and shootouts between helicopter and gondola. As with Black Samurai, it's a film that entertains despite itself.
Black Samurai (1976)
Death Dimension (1978)
Disc Thirteen
A trio of one-offs take up the thirteenth disc, but they're arguably some of Adamson's most accomplished (ie professional looking) filmmaking. First up is a high school T&A comedy called Sunset Cove, and while it sounds like a soap opera the shenanigans are far sillier. It feels very much in league with other skin and sin romps from the 70s and 80s as the "kids" enjoy some sexual antics, and the plot pits the "teens" against greedy developers as some kind of underdog tale. The humor rarely earns an audible laugh, but it's a fun enough romp for fans of the sub-genre.
Nurse Sherri sees a young woman possessed by a dead cult leader and willed into doing some heinous things, and it's an oddly atmospheric little thriller. There are beats throughout that play into the bloodletting and T&A of the genre, but there's also a lot of downtime as the film moves slowly between set pieces and interactions. Better is the overall atmosphere as the opening with the cult shifts into the supernatural shenanigans at the hospital. There's a low-rent uneasiness to it all — it never quite reaches sleaziness — that adds to the vibe.
Last up is a rare foray into science fiction for Adamson, and it's an unexpectedly fun time. The plot involves a world where sex is declared illegal which, of course, leads hot young couple to want all the more of it. Oh, and it's a musical that riffs on Cinderella? The effects move between the nifty and the cheap, but Adamson delivers a good-looking indie comedy. Softcore sci-fi is a relatively small sub-genre, but Adamson nails it right out of the gate with a goofily entertaining romp.
Sunset Cove (1978)
Sunset Toolbox [11:31] – Producer Tony Didio recalls transitioning from being a stock broker providing funds for films to actually producing movies himself. He shares some fun anecdotes and, as expected, a fond affection for Adamson.
Nurse Sherri (1977)
Dr. Dracula [25:17] – This is a collection of scenes shot by Adamson to turn the film into a "different" film.
Cinderella 2000 (1977)
Disc Fourteen
The final disc in the collection features the filmmaker's final two features — fittingly — but they're not quite what you might be expecting. Adamson isn't exactly the kind of director you'd expect to see directing a kids movie, but that's just what we get we these two. That said, they're definitely family films through his peculiar lens. Carnival Magic involves a small circus struggling to survive, but in addition to there being no children in the film it's entertainment that leans decidedly adult with its lecherous chimp, abusive animal trainer, and sketchy humor. It's not a good movie, traditionally speaking, but there's entertainment to be had in its ridiculousness.
Sadly, the final film in the set is easily the least interesting. Lost is another family feature, but where Carnival Magic entertains with its talking chimp and inappropriate antics this one is just all kinds of dull. A family moves to the wilds of Utah, and while they try to make it a new home the young daughter heads out into nature and loses track of herself. It should be an engaging tale of survival, but it's never suspenseful and the little girl is annoying enough that we really don't want her to be found.
Carnival Magic (1983)
A Boon to Science [11:47] – Zack Carlson and Lars Nilsen offer up an honest appreciation for the film while also recounting its discovery and return from oblivion.
Commentary by producer Elvin Feltner
Lost (1983)
The Happy Hobo [22:42] – Adamson had begun work on a third family film which he never completed, and this is the silent footage that remains.
My previous awareness of Adamson's filmography was limited to a handful of titles to the point that I never really connected the singular filmmaking voice behind them. Exploring this glorious love letter of a box-set one to two films at a time offers a new appreciation for the ultra low budget auteur. Are they all winners? Not even close, but with only an exception or two the films are never boring or dull. They're entertaining exploitation fare powered by as much by violence as they are by memorable dialogue and silliness, and more often than not they're good, inappropriate fun.
Severin Films shows epic amounts of affection for Adamson and his films with this set from the packaging on through the presentations. The sturdy slip case houses the book-style set of all fourteen discs, and an included booklet offers detailed breakdowns of each film's production and release. The films themselves will never be reference material quality despite the TLC afforded them by Severin, but there's no denying that they've never really looked better. Given the scope and cost of this set, it's ultimately a release for true Adamson fans only — casual viewers need not apply — but if that describes you then Al Adamson – The Masterpiece Collection is a necessary pick up.

Jakarta (VNA) – Indonesian President Joko Widodo's state visit to Vietnam in September is expected to create new momentum for the bilateral strategic partnership, a diplomat said.
Vietnamese Ambassador to Indonesia Pham Vinh Quang made the statement at a meeting with President Widodo in Jakarta on August 13 after presenting his letter of credence to the Indonesian leader.
Reporting to the President on the development of the strategic partnership set up in 2013 and on the two countries' implementation of the action programme for 2014-2018, Quang affirmed that Vietnamese leaders and people want to further deepen these ties.
He stressed that Vietnam and Indonesia both have large populations and are big economies in the region, hence they have significant potential for stronger economic cooperation.
The diplomat affirmed that the Vietnamese Government has always created favourable conditions for long-term and effective operations of foreign investors, including those from Indonesia.
Quang proposed that the President and the Indonesian Government continue to encourage Indonesian firms to expand business and partnerships in Vietnam, thus increasing bilateral trade to fulfil demand and reach its full potential.
On the occasion, the ambassador wished Indonesia successful organisation of the ASEAN Leaders' Gathering (ALG), and the annual meeting of the International Monetary Fund-World Bank Group next October. He told his host that Vietnam will be sending a delegation to the events.
For his part, President Widodo extended his delight at the bilateral relations and congratulated Vietnam on its recent socio-economic development.
The President wished Vietnam success in hosting the World Economic Forum on ASEAN in Hanoi from September 11-13.
President Widodo said he is looking forward to discussing bilateral and multilateral matters with Vietnamese leaders as part of his visit in September.
Anticipating that the visit will see new agreements signed, the Indonesian leader stated that the Indonesian Government and business community wish to increase multifaceted cooperation with Vietnam.
He believed the two nations will strengthen their mutual support concerning regional and international issues, thereby helping to maintain peace, stability, and prosperity in the region and the world at large.
The President congratulated Ambassador Quang on his taking office during a critical time of bilateral relations, believing that the diplomat will make worthy contributions to the Vietnam-Indonesia strategic partnership with practical and effective outcomes.–VNA

Hammerson signs leases at N
Hammerson plc has signed a lease with the Embassy of the United States of America for 2,200 m² (23,700 ft²) of office accommodation at Néo, 14 boulevard Haussmann, Paris 9ème. The rent for the office space is € 635 per m², with a six month rent free period. The lease term is nine years, with a tenant's break option at the end of the sixth year.
In addition, a lease has been signed with CCF, a subsidiary of HSBC Holdings plc, for 900 m² (9,300 ft²) of office space at Néo, 14 boulevard Haussmann. The rent for the office space is € 675 per m², with a six month rent free period. The lease term is nine years, with a tenant's break option at the end of the sixth year.
Providing 26,700 m² of high specification office accommodation, the building was completed in September 2003 at a total development cost of € 283 million.
John Richards, Chief Executive of Hammerson, commented: "At the time of our preliminary results, I stated that we were in dialogue with two or three occupiers, but that closing deals remained tough. I am delighted, therefore, that we have been able to translate this interest into these first lettings."
