'Beggars Gold' started off as 22 songs, later trimmed to 13, only the best of the best included on the final cut.
Tackling issues like self-confidence, bullying, drug/alcohol abuse & homelessness in songs like 'Stone by Stone', 'Beggars Gold' & 'In Everyone of Us', only adds more dynamics to the album.
'Take a Look at Me Now', highlights Mitchell's songwriting craft, written about the disillusioned, talent show generation, with a tongue in cheek, sinister twist.
The 'Beggars Gold' album tries to give everything that any true melodic/AOR rock fan would want to hear from an album. Mitchell has thrown everything at this one, huge guitar riffs, anthemic choruses, gospel choirs, epic harmonies & raw, honest powerful rock vocals.
The Limited Special Edition (500 units only) will be a double CD format (jewel case). Featured on the bonus disc is Tony's 2011 solo release 'Far Away From Home'.
This hard-rocking release was previously only ever available for a short time direct from Tony and on digital platforms. In this format the double disc set will be housed in a special cardboard slipcase and once sold out, is gone forever.
But that's not all - there is one more bonus! All Special Edition pre-orders of either will receive an exclusive digital download of a second acoustic solo album Tony recorded to accompany the 'Far Away From Home' release.
'No Man's Land' features amore reflective side to Tony Mitchell the 'rock star'.
TONY MITCHELL 'Beggars Gold' Regular Edition $20 (incl. shipping)
Tony Mitchell comments: "Beggar's Gold is an album that has taken many twists & turns as I was writing & recording it. I wanted to write an album that had everything I would want from a melodic/AOR album & more, as a songwriter, I wanted to craft songs that had depth, dynamics, power & anthemic qualities.
I wanted to capture energy & attitude along with meaningful, emotional moments & I think that I have managed achieve that with this album. From the start, I wanted a barrage of songs that would get into the ears of those who like melodic rock with powerful guitars, huge harmonies & memorable hooks.
After pouring my heart & soul into the making of this album, I am very proud of it & in this age of writers/musicians not making any money from releasing their work due to free streaming/downloading etc., it's my way of saying thanks to all the fans that have kept their faith in me & my music & to all the new fans who want to join me on this journey.
Climb aboard this rock n roll train, put the needle on the record & let's dance!"

2022 is only a few days old. Yet, it seems a lot older. The bizarre confusion of last year has followed us across the threshold of the years. What do I mean? It's an upside down, back to front state of almost permanent upset.
Go get tested we are told. Testing will help us avoid further restrictive measure to contain this 3rd wave of COVID-19 infections. So, I walked up to the door of our local Boots the chemist and right in front of me was a notice saying they had no test kits but were waiting for the next order to arrive.
Put on a mask[1]. Don't wear masks. Children must wear masks. Masks cause mental illness in schools. So many contradictory confused messages bouncing off the walls. Constantly senior politicians are racing to say the opposite to their colleagues. It's possible to see a relish in the discomfort that they cause their colleagues.
Plan B or not plan B. But what is the plan? It's clear the pandemic is far from over. Wishfull thinking does not make a threat go away. The reality is that very large numbers of new coronavirus cases have been recorded. Their impact is being seen in the NHS and on the High Street.
A record number of job vacancies remain unfilled[2]. We are told to be prepare for a quarter of the work force being off sick. Ministers put on a brave face and say: don't worry everything will be hunky-dory. That bright red, much reprinted "Keep Calm and Carry On" wartime motivational poster is now Government policy.
By the way, I'm not talking about the 1961 film: "Carry On Regardless[3]" but maybe I should be. Comedy farce is as British as British can be. The cast of characters in that film would probably make a better Government than the one we have in office. I shouldn't even go down this avenue of thought. It's too tragic.
Prime Minister Johnson is thought to be delaying decisions waiting for new data to become available. By the time official COVID-19 data is available it's clear it's going to be way behind the curve. Omicron's progress over Christmas has been rapid.
As an engineer, I wish we had politicians who had just smidgen of systems engineering knowledge. Just a tiny appreciation of how control systems work can go a long way. How we respond to feedback can have a determining impact on what happened next. An approach solely based on "let's wait and see what happens next" has a huge potential to result in undesirable outcomes.
The topsy-turvy world of tabloid media and Conservative backbench thinking is blinding Johnson. Our peculiar British fairground ride is continuing.

UncategorizedCOVID-19
As we welcome in 2022 with the hope that it will be an order of magnitude better than the last 2 years, it's a good time to look ahead. Better that is for general wellbeing.
I'm a fan of Science Fiction. Maybe it was my years of childhood influenced by Gerry Anderson's imagination. "Space 1999" envisioned a fully functioning moon base[1] before the 21st century had begun. It was a popular UK TV Series between 1975 and 1977. That's me at age 15 to 17.
Now, here we are in the 2nd decade of the 21st century and space travel has a long way to go. There's no first moon base in prospect in 2022. It maybe 50 years before imagination becomes reality. Rare examples of predictions that got the future right do exist. However, there's a lot more cases where fanciful ideas, plausible in their day are lost in the mists of time.
As we enter 2022, I wonder what 2222 will look like. Naturally I'll never see that day. That is unless a magical means of extending life is discovered in the next decade.
Projecting forward 200 years is mighty challenging. Before I go there let's look back 200 years. A long time in human terms but a short time in so far as the universe is concerned. That was a time when the secrets of the Rosetta Stone were deciphered.
In the year 1822, Englishman Charles Babbage publishes a plan for a difference engine. That could be said to be the start of the computing era. He got support to build a working computer but sadly it was not completed in his lifetime.
French microbiologist Louis Pasteur was born in 1822. Today, as we struggle out of a pandemic, we have a lot to be thankful for his work.
In that year Mary Shelley's Frankenstein was on the bookshelves. Thus, the notion of a "mad scientist" conducting dangerous experiments with technology was on the streets. That could be said to be the start of the science fiction era.
Given an acceleration of technical advancement, looking 2 decades ahead the scope opens for some dramatic and transformational changes to take place. Without getting bogged down with dystopian futures that will see humanity on its knees I'll consider some positives.
Unlike Frankenstein there will certainly be "nice" autonomous robots that work alongside humans in every setting. The extent to which these companions will be self-aware and free to do as they wish is potentially the subject of an endless debate. I think they will be constrained by some well-considered fixed laws.
Life will still be a mystery. That said, the microbiologist 200 years hence will be studying lifeforms discovered on other planets. No other intelligent life, evolved as far as humans will be communicating with Earth. That's not to dismiss the likelihood that they are out there somewhere.
The word computing will have lost its meaning in 2222. Abstract and virtual worlds of immense capacity, performance and realism will be part of everyday life. It'll add new dimension to physical life. It may bring us to value our physical environment much more.
Travelling through time will still be science fiction. But simulated time travel will be available to all. In 2222 it will be possible to step back into a realistic simulation of 2022. That will make history lessons a warp around experience. I'm wondering if such a high-fidelity knowledge of our past will make us better people or not. Who will be the keeper of the truth of the past?
The political world of 2222 is likely to exhibit new versions of past problems. 200 years isn't much in human evolution so we will still be struggling with our place in the universe. Granted the knowledge of how it works will be off the scale when measure in comparison with 2022.
I'm confident that a human colony, or more than one will be up and running as industrial enterprises on the Moon. It will be there to facilitate every kind of space travel. Human will not venture much beyond the immediate vicinity of Earth. Our automatons will be spread throughout the solar system. Some to explore and some to extract valuable elements and harvest fuels.
The Earth's population will have stabilised at about 15 billion people. There will not be much uninhabited or underpopulated land surrounding established mega cities. To compensate there will be massive parks and reserves under global governance dedicated to preserving environmental diversity.
This is just a flight of fantasy. The most remarkable changes in 2 centuries will be the ones that are impossible to predict. Today. we have taken to the smart phone and social media in a decade to the point of dependency. That's one busy decade. Multiply that by 20 and who knows?

About Emeril's Delmonico
Emeril's Delmonico is an 118-year-old restaurant located on the famed St. Charles Avenue streetcar line in the Lower Garden District of New Orleans. The restaurant first opened as Delmonico in 1895 by Anthony Commander, the younger brother of Emile Commander, who opened a saloon called Commander's Palace in 1880. The restaurant's second owners, Anthony and Marie LaFranca from Sicily, introduced Sicilian and Italian-style cuisine alongside traditional Creole New Orleans favorites. Chef Emeril Lagasse bought and reopened the historic restaurant in 1998 after an extensive renovation, paying homage to its classic, grand setting and original menus. Today, the kitchen is led by chef de cuisine Anthony Scanio, who infuses his love of Italian and Sicilian influences into the modern Creole palate. The restaurant features an ever changing in-house charcuterie program, a homemade liqueur program, and on-site dry-aged steaks, in addition to its revived classic New Orleans dishes. Emeril's Delmonico is open for dinner Monday-Thursday, 6-9 p.m. and Friday and Saturday, 6-10 p.m. The bar opens at 5 p.m. Monday-Friday and 5:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. To make a reservation, call 504-525-4937 or visit emerilsrestaurants.com.


For example, you don't want people entering the branch and not getting greeted. However, most digital banking offerings are strictly transactional – the equivalent of a branch with only teller lines and no human touch. The level of comfort and familiarity for the customer should be consistent, regardless of whether he or she is in the branch to discuss opening a savings account or depositing a check from the kitchen table. You would be surprised to find that even simple changes – colors, font sizes and types and other visual factors – can be drivers of satisfaction (or dissatisfaction).
The customer experience should also be examined to ensure features and functions are aligned with retail offerings, and delivered in such a way that the customer can easily interact with the functionality and control their account.
You may want to consider offering multiple mobile apps, with different features and functionality that meet the needs of each segment identified in your self-evaluation. For example remote-deposit is a must for all segments, whereas account aggregation and P2P payments are features younger customers seek more often.
Cohesion across all channels removes friction and increases the lifetime value of the customer. Working closely with tech vendors to align cross-channel capabilities creates a path to digital success and ensures that your organization, not the branch, becomes associated with personalized service that keeps customers coming back.

Smith Warns Against Aiding Saudi Arabia After Abandoning Kurdish Partners
WASHINGTON, D.C. – House Armed Services Committee Chairman Adam Smith (D-WA) today issued the following statement in response to the Trump Administration's decision to deploy additional military personnel and assets to Saudi Arabia just days after abandoning our Kurdish partners in Syria.
"President Trump has done untold harm to America's standing in the world by currying favor with corrupt regimes, instead of respecting longstanding global partnerships and alliances. His latest being the withdrawal of military support for the Kurds, who have proven to be among our fiercest partners in the fight against ISIS.
"The President claims he wants to put an end to 'forever wars' but his rhetoric and policy don't match. Today, his Defense Department announced that the United States will deploy additional military assets to the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility in order to 'assure and enhance the defense of Saudi Arabia.' This decision does not bring us any closer to peace, or the end of American involvement in 'forever wars.' In less than a week's time, the President managed to allow the Turks to displace tens of thousands of people in Syria, further destabilizing the region, while promising to deploy an additional two thousand troops to Saudi Arabia, in a misguided effort to deter Iran, without any strategy to stop the cycle of military escalation and begin work on a negotiated settlement.
"For months, I have been deeply concerned about the administration's so-called maximum pressure campaign against Iran and its lack of a coherent strategy. I am increasingly skeptical with each new deployment of military assets and personnel to the region.
"I am still waiting for the Administration's national security team to clearly articulate their broader strategy in the region, and how their recent deployment decisions fit into this strategy. Until then, I will remain concerned that our current trajectory will only lead to escalation."

As the summer progresses we will be posting articles sharing memories and highlights from the Challenge summer camps going on across the US and Canada. We start off this series, with Atlanta, GA's Summer Camp.
Challenge Atlanta has been having successful summer camps for the past 20 years for girls to have a fun faith filled experiences that carry with them throughout the year. That tradition is still going strong with this year's INSPIRE Challenge Summer Camp taking place in Salem, SC. Over forty five girls attended the camp from June 7-13th ,along with an enthusiastic team of camp counselors and dedicated staff members made up of consecrated women and moms. During the camp, the staff tried to help the girls to discover their inspirations.
It was a week of faith, friendship and fun following an Amazing Race theme. The teams of girls had to complete challenges each day in order to advance to the next phase of the race in order to find their inspiration and become an inspiration for others. Some of the girls' favorite activities included the Eucharistic procession, Messy Olympics, Eucharistic adoration on the dock and an unforgettable bonfire. To see a brief video on youtube about this inspiring Challenge camp, visit https://youtu.be/DYqvHi7aDy0.
