Killed by stoning
Yet another instance of the conditions women live under in the Middle East:
WARNIING: THE VIDEO IS SO HORRIBLE I WILL NOT DIRECTLY LINK TO IT. I could not bear watching it.
Have You Ever Seen A Woman Stoned To Death? Publius Pundit has the video.
Gateway Pundit has the story,
On or around April 7, 2007… Du'a Khalil Aswad, a 17 year old Kurdish girl was murdered by public stoning after running away from home for a so-called honour crime. Du'a was a member of Iraq's Yezidi religious minority from the village of Bahzan in northern Iraq. She was killed by a group of men and in the presence of a large noisy crowd in the town of Bashika, near the city of Mosul. Some of her relatives may have participated in her stoning.
Amnesty International reported that Du'a Khalil Aswad's murder is said to have been committed by relatives and other Yezidi men because she had engaged in a relationship with a Sunni Muslim boy and had been absent from her home for one night. Some reports suggested that she had converted to Islam, but others deny this. Initially, she was reportedly given shelter in the house of a Yezidi tribal leader in Bashika, but her killers stormed the house, took her outside and stoned her to death. Her death by stoning, lasted for some 30 minutes.
Today in Erbil… Capital of the Kurdish region of Iraq, women and men came together to protest the murder of Du'a Khalil Aswad. The demonstration was organised by 90 NGOs and attracted protestors from across the whole Kurdish region.
Gateway Pundit has a post on the protests following this horrible crime.
According to Wikipedia, the Yezidi are not Muslim, and they are ethnic Kurds. The crowd did yell Allah Akbar.
In Yazidism, there's the underlying misogyny:
One of the key creationism beliefs of Yazidism is that all Yazidis are descendants of Adam rather than Eve
May that poor girl's soul rest in peace.
Filed Under: Middle East., women
Sigmund, Carl and Alfred says
There is no other word to describe the evil and dysfunction that permeates those societies.
dysfunction that permeates
The "descendants of Adam, not Eve" says a lot, doesn't it?
GM Roper says
SC&A has it right, the horror of "honor" killings is a blight on the world and a damning indictment of those that think all cultures are are of equal value. I watched the video a Publius and though it was a poorly done video, the absolute monstrosity of it came through loud an clear. I'll not ever make that mistake again.
Hoots says
My take on this event is somewhat different. The distance between stoning and any other form of capital punishment is one of degree.
A crowd of ordinary people casting stones is not very different from more clinical methods of execution. That execution is more easily understood as what it really is: society turning on one of its own for the protection of some greater purpose, whatever they imagine that purpose to be. We are a generation of meat-lovers but most people, except for hunters and fishermen, recoil at the idea of slaughtering even a chicken for dinner. As a recent link shows there are plenty among us who seem to have little problem with killing other people and celebrating what they have done, but those people are acting in the line of duty, don't you know. We have improved civilized behavior to the point that we have trained executioners instead of doing the job personally. Likewise, we develop trained warriors to kill designated enemies.
Spare me the indignation about stoning. The practice predates the New Testament. That does not mean I approve. Forms differ in the level of cruelty, but result is the same: society kills one of its own. We who are peaceful and loving have more civilized ways of expressing that love, don't we?
Support Kurdish progressives in opposing honour crime
ANGCorsair says
Yes, we have trained executioners that execute criminals who have committed only grievous acts against mankind.
This poor girl did nothing but fall in love with a man outside of her religion. If this is considered to be a grievous act worthy of a brutal death, than the basis of this religion is suspect.
Do NOT try and explain this as an act by a civil, sane society protecting their existence by cleansing out those who have dishonoured their family.
Robert Mayer says
Hoots — Poor argument. As angcorsair explained, there is no comparison because in our society, capital punishment is applied only in the most heinous of cases. And, we have developed capital punishment to the point where it is as humane as possible. A lethal injection is nowhere near as bad as being stoned. And getting a lethal injection for serial killing is actually more like a thousand leagues apart from being stoned to death for falling in love.
I understand, of course. I'm not that obtuse. I made a comment, not an argument.
I oppose capital punishment (along with a respectable number of countries, by the way) for a number of reasons, but mainly because of what it does to me as a citizen. If anything I said indicated otherwise I need to clarify.
The point is that in a clinical, "civil" manner we have learned to officially, legally dispatch criminals with a minimum of suffering, but one only has to listen to talk radio or read a few news articles to know that there are many among us who would advocate punishments every bit as savage as stoning for certain perpetrators.
I noted no less a figure than Eugene Volokh advocating such methods a couple years ago, although he changed his mind before it was all over. I live in the South among people only two or three generations away from lynchings and worse, either as victims or perpetrators. The distance between "us" and "them" may not be as far as we like to imagine.
(As an aside, I'm honored to have been repremanded by Robert Mayer. Publius Pundit is one of the finest blogs of them all. Absolutely top-drawer. His coverage of the Cedar and Orange Revolutions has been without peer.)
USpace says
These people are barbaric, if it is their culture, it is barbaric and inferior…
absurd thought –
fathers may kill their daughters
if they feel dishonored
like when she dates the wrong boy

Victorian racing broadcast blackout grinds on
By Patrick Bartley
Updated June 19, 2015 — 7.15pm first published at 7.12pm
While Racing Victoria officials are confident they can reach agreement with the VRC over the media and vision rights for Victorian racing this weekend, sadly for punters a blackout will continue.
Channel Seven executives who are keen to broadcast Victorian racing on Channel 78, on the free-to-air dial, told RVL that they had "run out of time" to televise Saturday's Moonee Valley meeting. With negotiations between RVL and the VRC working steadily to a resolution, Channel Seven maintained it was beyond them with such a tight schedule to broadcast the races.
Tabcorp has also remained steadfast on a blackout of this state's racing.
But the Moonee Valley club has decided to drop the entrance fee for its meeting on Saturday as a goodwill gesture to punters deprived of seeing the races on TV.
Insiders at Racing Victoria were on Friday, supremely confident that the VRC would sign over its powers to the vision rights and in time for the Moonee Valley meeting to be covered.
But talks late on Friday still had not seen any breakthrough between both parties.
Jockey Amy Herrmann has been taken to hospital after a fall in a jumps trial at Morphettville. Herrmann came off when her mount stumbled and fell after jumping the final hurdle.
Kevin Ring, the National Health and Safety Officer for the Australian Jockeys' Association, said Herrmann was semi-conscious when she was taken to hospital. "We are waiting on the results of scans," Ring said.
A Thoroughbred Racing South Australia statement said Herrmann was treated at the scene by medical staff before being transferred by ambulance to the Royal Adelaide Hospital.
Herrmann is an accomplished rider on the flat and also rides over jumps.
Chris Waller has the chance to take his season tally of group 1 wins to 16 with runners on opposite sides of the world this weekend.
The champion Sydney trainer will saddle up Brazen Beau in the Diamond Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot just hours after Catkins chases her first group 1 success in the Tattersall's Tiara at the Gold Coast on Saturday.

PC NIKKOR 19mm f/4E ED
Bend perspective to match your vision.
For the storytellers who bring us reality-bending views of landscapes, cityscapes, architecture and fine art, the realm of possibility just got wider. For the first time with a NIKKOR PC lens, the direction of tilt operation can be made parallel or perpendicular to shift*, allowing you to control perspective, focus and depth of field like never before. Tilt to create scenes with selective defocus (miniature effect) or sharp focus throughout the scene. Shift to control the effects of keystoning and fix issues of perspective in-camera. In photography or filmmaking, the PC NIKKOR 19mm f/4E ED can help you create images as unique as your creative vision.
*Depending on the combination of shift and rotation, operation may be restricted by mechanical interference between the lens and the camera.
View Sample Photos(View in a lightbox)
Transformative image quality
Optimized for high-resolution cameras
As an ultra-wide-angle lens and a perspective control lens, the PC NIKKOR 19mm f/4E ED has to work double duty combating distortion and glare. And does it ever. Three Extra Low Dispersion (ED) glass elements and two Aspheric glass (AS) elements virtually eliminate chromatic aberration and coma, even at the widest aperture setting. Nano Crystal Coat (N) increases backlight tolerance for clear images with minimal ghosting and flare. Like all NIKKOR lenses, image quality comes first with the PC NIKKOR 19mm f/4E ED.
Prized angle of view
Ideal for architecture, interiors, landscapes and panoramas
A 19mm angle of view on FX cameras is very similar to the angle of view prized by many large- and medium-format photographers. This sweeping, ultra-wide perspective is ideal for landscapes, cityscapes, interiors, architecture, horizontal or vertical panoramas and filmmaking, and it gives you a broad, versatile brush with which to paint your images.
Maximum perspective control
New PC rotation capability
For the first time, a NIKKOR lens can be tilted and shifted independently and then rotated up to 90°. Tilt to control the plane of focus—creatively or precisely, the choice is yours. Shift to control perspective or create panoramas. Shift operation no longer requires locking and unlocking—smoothly and seamlessly make adjustments. What thrilling new views will you discover?
Nikon's exclusive non-stick Fluorine Coat resists dirt, water spots, fingerprints and smudges, and is available on the PC NIKKOR 19mm f/4E ED and these lenses:
AF-S DX NIKKOR 16-80mm f/2.8-4E ED VR
AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8E ED VR
AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR
AF-S NIKKOR 105mm f/1.4E ED
AF-S NIKKOR 400mm f/2.8E FL ED VR
AF-S NIKKOR 500mm f/4E FL ED VR
AF-S TELECONVERTER TC-14E III
Exceptional quality
Superior imaging at your fingertips
The new PC NIKKOR 19mm f/4E ED joins other PC NIKKOR lenses in the Gold Ring Series, which include only PC NIKKOR lenses with Nano Crystal Coat and pro-grade build quality. These other lenses include the PC-E Micro NIKKOR 45mm f/2.8D ED, PC-E Micro NIKKOR 85mm f/2.8D, PC-E NIKKOR 24mm F3.5D ED.
Aspherical Lens
A lens with a curved, non-spherical surface. Used to reduce aberrations and enable a more compact lens size. Aspherical lenses minimize coma and other types of lens aberrations, even when used at the widest aperture. They are particularly useful in correcting distortion in wide-angle lenses and help contribute to a lighter, more compact design by reducing the number of standard (spherical) elements necessary. Aspherical lens elements correct these distortions by continuously changing the refractive index from the centre of the lens.
ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) Glass
An optical glass developed by Nikon that is used with normal optical glass in telephoto lenses to obtain optimum correction of chromatic aberrations.
Electromagnetic Diaphragm Mechanism
An electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism in the lens barrel provides highly accurate electronic diaphragm or aperture blade control when using auto exposure during continuous shooting. With conventional D/G type lenses, the diaphragm blades are operated by mechanical linkage levers.
Fluorine Coat
Photographers need gear that can withstand the elements. Nikon's fluorine coat effectively repels dust, water droplets, grease or dirt, ensuring easy removal even when they adhere to the lens surface. Nikon's fluorine coat endures a high frequency of lens surface wiping and its anti-reflective effect also contributes to the capture of clear images.
Nano Crystal Coat
An anti-reflective coating developed by Nikon that virtually eliminates internal lens element reflections across a wide range of wavelengths. Nano Crystal Coat solves ghost effects caused by red light and effectively reduces ghost and flare caused by light entering the lens diagonally.
Super Integrated Coating
Nikon Super Integrated Coating is Nikon's term for its multilayer coating of the optical elements in NIKKOR lenses.
The lens incorporates an electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism. The following cameras are compatible with this lens:D5, D4 series, D3 series, Df, D810, D810A, D800 series, D750, D700, D610, D600, D500, D300 series, D7200, D7100, D7000, D5500, D5300, D5200, D5100, D5000, D3300, D3200, D3100.

Yūki Mitsufuji (結城 満藤) was a Japanese samurai lord of the Muromachi period. He served as Governor of Yamashiro Province (1394-1403) and Governor of Echigo Province under the Ashikaga shogunate.

Life
Yūki Mitsufuji was born in Tango Province. His family descended from the Furuyama clan. He was also known as Yūki Jyūrō and Kageyu Saemon no Jō. Mitsufuji became a retainer of shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and began his service under the Ashikaga shogunate.

In 1394, he was appointed as Governor of Yamashiro Province. As a governor, he acted self‐indulgently and violently while abusing Yoshimitsu's favor, and was repulsed by other daimyo. He is seen as the Governor of Yamashiro Province until 1403.

In July 1396, Mitsufuji, a close retainer of Niki Yoshikazu, plotted a conspiracy against Governor of Ise Province Niki Mitsunaga. Mitsufuji helped Yoshikazu, who was the illegitimate elder brother of Mitsunaga, take over the position of Governor of Ise Province. This forced Mitsunaga to leave the political scene, who was later reported to have gone missing in Ise Province. Enraged by this, the Shugo Daimyo approached Yoshikazu and had Mitsufuji exiled. His life after this remains unknown.

Heavy Music HQ Album Reviews: Week of April 23, 2021
Heavy Music Headquarters Staff
This week's Heavy Music HQ reviews include releases from Big|Brave, Bodom After Midnight, Body Void, Capra, Crypts Of Despair, Dirty Honey, Hideous Divinity, Malformity, Miasma Theory, Motorhead, My Refuge, Noeta, Obsolete, Paysage D'Hiver, Sanction and Void Vator.
The ratings are on a 5 star scale.
Big|Brave – Vital (Southern Lord)
For nearly ten years now, Montreal experimental post metal outfit Big|Brave have been sending shivers down our spines with their minimalist, elemental journeys. Now down to the core trio of Tasy Hudson, Mathieu Ball and Robin Wattie, the group offers up Vital, their fifth album. Focused as much on the space around the sound as the music itself, Vital proves to be a gripping, harrowing journey.
Think of a blend of Swans, Scott Walker, and Sunn O))), with Julie Christmas-like impassioned vocals. That's where Big|Brave fall on the style meter. These songs are ponderous, deliberate, visceral, and monolithic, with crashing guitars and plaintive, emotional vocals. Big|Brave hit you with equal parts ferocity and fragility, making each song an edge-of-your-seat experience. Fans with patience and an ear for the oddness of the above-mentioned bands will love Vital.
(Mike Huck)
Bodom After Midnight – Paint The Sky With Blood (Napalm)
Alexi Laiho sadly left the world in December 2020, after he finished work on his new band Bodom After Midnight's debut EP Paint The Sky With Blood. The three songs were finally confirmed by his bandmates to be the only available material written and recorded by the band. But what does this EP tell us?
Bodom After Midnight and this three song EP, while retaining the Children of Bodom's latter sound, is more like a purposeful return to the early days of COB. Symphonic-tinged power metal compositions are structured on melodic death metal basis. The album closes with the cover of Dissection's classic song "Where Dead Angels Lie." Paint The Sky With Blood is an overview of all the important musical stages of Children of Bodom and Laiho's prolific life and is undeniably a part of COB's legacy, a legacy that shines in the history of metal music forever, in memory of the beloved Wildchild.

Body Void – Bury Me Beneath This Rotting Earth (Prosthetic)
For their third full-length album Bury Me Beneath This Rotting Earth, the Vermont duo Body Void have signed with Prosthetic Records. They also recruited their touring bassist Entresol to help with electronics.
Though just four tracks, this is not an EP, with each song in the 12 to 13 minute range. Body Void start with doom and blend it a variety of other styles ranging from sludge to to noise to prog. They also shift tempos from glacial to uptempo and back again, though more frequent speed changes would help add variety on the lengthy arrangements. Still, they do a solid job maintaining interest from front to back.
(Chad Bowar)
Capra – In Transmission (Metal Blade)
Capra start their debut album In Transmission with a low-key intro in "[Exordium]." It's the only moment on the entire album where the band is in a tense sort of calmness, which is easily displaced by the time the one-minute "Hollow Doll" bursts from its hibernation. It's a striking way to come out of an intro track, and though it's the shortest song on the album, Capra doesn't refrain from a boiling mix of hardcore, punk, and death metal.
The band sticks to a consistent harried pace throughout In Transmission, though its running time of about 32 minutes makes it manageable. They seem to get faster as the album wears on, with closer "Samuraiah Carey" employing a blast beat-driven wrath that seems ready to implode on itself any second. Though only a few of these songs were recorded during the pandemic (a majority of the album being recorded in late 2019), it's not impossible to imagine this being the byproduct of over a year of global panic and terror.
(Dan Marsicano)
Transcending Obscurity Records
Crypts Of Despair – All Light Swallowed (Transcending Obscurity)
Transcending Obscurity Records have become a premiere death metal label, finding promising talent all across the globe. The India-based label went to Lithuania to spotlight Crypts Of Despair. All Light Swallowed, their second album and first on said label, encompasses aspects of old school and contemporary death metal. Crypts Of Despair temper brutality riffing and pummeling drums with technical dissonance.
Album opener "Being-Erased" is a good indicator of what to expect on All Light Swallowed. The group attack with drilling kick drums and buzzsaw guitars, but temper this with dissonant guitars. Chugging rhythms come into the fray to create a concrete backbone to the buzzing tones. Henri Mall continuously pumps his feet to maintain a sweltering tempo throughout the album. Dovydas Auglys, one-half of the guitar section, and bassist Simonas Jurkevicius switch between gutturally low vocals and a teeth-gnashing higher register. Blunt yet agile, All Light Swallowed should appeal to fans of Immolation and Gorguts.
(Darren Cowan)
Dirty Honey – Dirty Honey (Self)
Dirty Honey's career got off to an incredible start. Their debut single "When I'm Gone" became the first song from an unsigned band to top the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart, and the follow-up "Rolling 7s" made it to number three. Both of those were from their 2019 EP.
They elected to stay independent for their self-titled full-length debut. It's also packed with a variety of potential singles such as opener "California Dreaming," "Tied Up" and "Take My Hand." Dirty Honey play bluesy hard rock with a '70s vibe along with potent vocals from Marc Labelle that have plenty of power and range, but also a bit of an edge. They are influenced by bands like Led Zeppelin and Aerosmith. Though the originality factor is not high, the quality factor of the songs is, and should keep the band's momentum running in high gear.
Hideous Divinity – LV-426 (Century Media)
The Italian brutal/tech death metal band Hideous Divinity follow up 2019's Simulacrum with the EP LV-426. It's a three song concept album focusing on the point of view of Rebecca "Newt" Jorden from the movie Aliens.
Two of the songs are originals. "Acheron, Stream Of Woe" and "Chestburst" have the crushing death metal and harsh vocals you'd expect from Hideous Divinity. There are also atmospherics and melodic guitars that help temper the brutality. The EP closes with a cover of Coheed and Cambria's "Delirium Trigger." It's the kind of cover that's effective: a band putting it's own style and spin on a song while keeping the original intact enough to still be recognizable. It's only 16 minutes long, certainly not essential, but a nice stopgap for fans until the next full-length.
Unspeakable Axe Records
Malformity – Monumental Ruin (Unspeakable Axe)
The path to Malformity's release of their debut album Monumental Ruin goes back to the early 1990's when the Atlanta, Georgia death metal group initially formed. A few demos were put together before they broke up, and it would take decades until they reunited and started on the path to this album. Those expecting the years to tamp down their fury will quickly reverse those thoughts as soon as the barrage of "Perverse Apotheosis" hits after a short introduction track.
There are some nods to their past ("Lifeless Mindless" returns from an early demo), but Malformity doesn't hold onto it with songs that border between old-school menace and modern polish. "Into Ruin" and "Immolated Archetype" break the mold with an infuse of eerie melodies, a show of growth that's a good look for them. It helps to have tracks like this as a way to avoid the proceedings floundering for too long, useful for an album like Monumental Ruin that goes almost an hour (including two bonus tracks from their 2018 The Rapturous Unraveling single).
Shadowlit Music
Miasma Theory – Miasma Theory (Shadowlit)
Miasma Theory cover a gem from Candlemass, "Under The Oak," on their self-titled debut EP. That song, from group's seminal Epicus Doomicus Metallicus, is a good barometer of what Miasma Theory are setting out to do on this EP. The four other songs outside of the cover have that epic doom metal aura, which makes sense considering members of Northern Crown (a band that also loves their epic music) are involved with this project.
The songs range from a gloomy ballad ("Together As One") to a rough stomper that breaks off into an energetic middle complete with lively guitar solos ("Next Time, Last Time"). It's done with love for the genre, and admiration for bands that came before them, like the previously mentioned Candlemass. The EP isn't carving out a new path, but it will fill the need of those who like their metal to be a saga.
Silver Lining Music/Motorhead Music
Motorhead – Louder Than Noise… Live In Berlin (Silver Lining)/Motorhead)
Since Lemmy's death in 2015 there have been a several Motorhead reissues, live albums and other releases, and there will certainly be many more to come. The latest is Louder Than Noise… Live In Berlin.
Recorded in 2012 in front of 12,000 fans at Berlin's Velodrome, the CD edition includes a bonus DVD. The 15 song set spans the band's career, including newer (at the time) songs like "I Know How To Die" from 2010's The World Is Yours along with Motorhead classics like "Killed By Death," "Overkill" and of course, "Ace Of Spades." It's a rousing performance from Lemmy, Phil Campbell and Mikkey Dee, and a testament to why the band had and still have a large and loyal following.
My Refuge – The Anger Is Never Over (Pride & Joy)
After their 2015 album was recorded using a traditional lineup, the Italian heavy/power metal band My Refuge went a different direction for the follow-up, The Anger Is Never Over. They used a different vocalist on every track along with several guest musicians.
It's truly an international effort, with musicians from 14 countries participating. The vocalists are obscure, with Headcrusher's Kike Valderrama probably the best known, and he's not exactly a household name. Still, there are some impressive vocal performances, such as Fernando Neri on "The Last To Die" and Arthur Pessoa on the title track. Even though there are so many different vocalists, the music is consistent, keeping things more cohesive than you might expect. The songs are catchy, and a good showcase for a lot of singers people might not be familiar with.
Noeta – Elm (Prophecy)
Drawing its emotional core from Sylvia Plath's eponymous poem, Elm is Norwegian dark folk group Noêta's sophomore album. Singer-songwriter Êlea sings of heartbreak, despair, loss and finitude, draped in ndris' gossamer arrangements. Firmly rooted in folk sounds, these eight mournful and sometimes sinister songs create a soothing, contemplative atmosphere.
Êlea's vocal performance is controlled and subdued, which is not to say that it isn't potent; there is virtuosity in her restraint and poise. While the intricately layered production complements the slow moving melodies and open structures very well, it stays in similar territory throughout the record, blurring the lines between songs. Elm is the perfect mood music for a pensive rainy afternoon, although not a very memorable work.
(Étienne Vézina)
Obsolete – Animate//Isolate (Unspeakable Axe)
The immediate aspect of Animate//Isolate that people will be drawn to is the mesmerizing drum work, which is saying a lot considering the load of talent each musician brings to this album. Obsolete's rhythm section never stays in one tempo long enough to become comfortable, with fills stacked over fills until it seems like the album is ready to combust. A frantic performance like this fits the jumpy nature of their death/thrash metal.
This leads to a snazzy dual guitar harmony at the end of "Silent Freeway" or the multitude of solos coming from the early moments of "The Fog." With songwriting that avoids unnecessary filler, Animate//Isolate is meant for maximum moshing. With just a 2018 EP to their name up to this point, Obsolete have managed to put together a supercharged, entertaining debut album.
Paysage D'Hiver – Geister (Kunsthall)
Though Geister is only the second full-length from Paysage D'Hiver, there's no shortage of material from the Swiss one man black metal project. There have been around 15 demos, splits, EPs and compilations dating back to the late '90s.
Geister, which translates to "Ghosts," is old school black metal influenced by early Scandinavian bands. There are icy atmospherics at the beginning of pretty much every song, ranging from a few seconds to half a minute before the dense black metal kicks in. The tempos range from mid paced to chaotic, and vary from track to track. The raspy, shrieky vocals from Wintherr are low in the mix. Those who like their black metal raw and old school will appreciate Paysage D'Hiver's approach.
Sanction – The Overview Effect (Self)
Sanction's The Overview Effect puts existential themes inside of progressive death metal for a spacey take on the genre. Sanction have been around since the late 2000s but are only now releasing their first album. The band's lyricist, guitarist/bassist Shane Leadbeater, uses samples of speeches from people like Dr. Carl Sagan and Frank White to flesh out the album's concept of a person's worldview changing from seeing Earth from space.
This is highly technical music, with flashy playing that doesn't go too heavy on the leads. Riffs are key on this album, and the writing is complex even on the songs that go two or three minutes. There are bits of other well-known bands in here — a little Cynic here, some Atheist there, a Death nod somewhere else — but the long road the band took to get to The Overview Effect wasn't a wasted one.
Void Vator – Great Fear Rising (Ripple)
Los Angeles' Void Vator formed in 2014, and since then have released some EPs and splits. Great Fear Rising is their first full-length recording, and it clocks in at a svelte 33 minutes over 9 songs. Short and sweet, but don't let that fool you. The music here is full-on metal, what we in the biz might refer to as New Wave of Traditional American Heavy Metal. It's fast, fun, and furious.
Taking their queue from bands as diverse as Metallica and The Ramones, with a touch of Power Trip and maybe even a little Motorhead (see "McGyver's Mullet"), Void Vator deliver a dynamite album that never stops pounding the listener with riffs and hooks. Great Fear Rising goes for the jugular on every exuberant track, and hits every time. Top it off with modern, aggressive production and you have one of the most enthusiastic and infectious debut albums of the year.

The Outstanding Building of the Year "TOBY" Awards Program designated by BOMA is the most prestigious recognition that building operators can achieve in commercial real estate. The award recognizes quality and excellence in the daily management of office buildings. All aspects of day-to-day management are scrutinized. Some of the categories include community involvement, amenities packages, tenant relations program, building standards and overall exceptional service.
In 2012, a TOBY was awarded to 6100 Wilshire Boulevard, owned and operated by Kennedy Wilson Properties. Not only was this a huge achievement for Kennedy Wilson's onsite management team led by Vivian Melendez, but another success story for Advance Building Maintenance. Ten days prior to TOBY building inspection, Advance was awarded 6100 Wilshire's janitorial contract and faced the daunting challenge of cleaning the property to award winning standards. Within a very modest amount of time, Advance significantly improved the cleaning quality at 6100 Wilshire and was an instrumental participant in achieving its Building of the Year Award.
Yet again, in 2016, the Building of the Year Award was bestowed to 151 S. El Camino located in Beverly Hills, California, the home of Kennedy Wilson's Corporate Headquarters. Since its Grand Opening in 2015, this building has been serviced by Advance. This win makes it the 3rd TOBY for Advance in just a few short years, with our first being Manhattan Plaza, 111 N. Sepulveda Boulevard, Manhattan Beach, California.
To assist you with environmental consciousness, Advance is commited to ecological responsibility. We strive to minimize our impact on the earth through the implementation of innovative and responsible environmental practices. Our "Go Green" cleaning program leads the way in promoting your building's LEED certification in the industry.

The Russian language will again be taught at the universities of the Central African Republic, as it was during the reign of Bokassa, writes the Bulgarian newspaper "Diary". Readers ironically that in a few years the inhabitants of the CAR will realize themselves as real Slavs, while many admit that this is the right decision.
The Russian language will become compulsory in the universities of the CAR – as in the days of the self-proclaimed emperor Jean Bedel Bokassa, who ruled from 1966-1979. The Russian language learning initiative is part of a plan for cooperation between the CARs and the Russian Federation. In early 2022, a meeting of the ministers of education of the two countries is planned in Moscow – probably one of the topics will be teaching the Russian language and sending teachers from Russia. Since 2019, the Russian language has been included in the secondary school curriculum in the CAR.
Reader Comments:
What a news! How much did Putin pay to make Russian "international" in Africa?
Polite moose
In a few years, the inhabitants of the CAR will realize themselves as real Slavs!
What the hell, the only truly international language is English, and it should be required everywhere.
Russia is the only place where blacks are perceived normally, and for a long time – Pushkin, for example, had Negro blood.
Correct decision, Russian is one of the most popular languages in the world! In any software there is an option to select the interface in Russian.
And will they find work with the Russian language? The former USSR produces Russian-speaking immigrants on an assembly line. Why would an employer give preference to someone for whom Russian is not native when there is a queue of hundreds of Moldovans and Ukrainians?
How else would they read Tyutchev in the original?
Liliputin
You were born in Africa, in a large family. Around poverty, heat, wild animals, wild people, hunger, disease, deprivation. You somehow survived and got the opportunity to go to university, and there … Russian is compulsory.
Now Russian, China will invest in their economy – Chinese will become mandatory. Nothing wrong. Let the children learn.
In my opinion, forcing someone to learn a foreign language without giving them a choice is useless – there is no motivation. It is difficult to learn a foreign language without being able to be in a linguistic environment; it requires tremendous effort and consistency.
Joseph Davydovich
Probably one university, and her lover has a Russian with a philology diploma from some university in Prostokvashin, who urgently needs a job …
This news is in the top not only in Russia, but also in North Macedonia. The first lesson in Russian: "The Russian language uses the alphabet. The ABC came to Africa … from the Macedonian lands. "
An unprecedented influx of future Renaissance cadres (the Bulgarian party of Russophiles) to African universities is expected.
Blondophile
Since they are such great friends, they definitely need a monument to the Soviet army. Profitable. With delivery.
Christian christs
The dictator is known in need.

Well-maintained concert hall, right size for the concert, reasonable acoustics for the pieces performed.
Easy to find. Nice staff. Comfortable seating. Elegant room, good acoustics. Nice lighting. Excellent!
We had been led to believe the concert hall was going to be fancy, the word palace being used was part of this. It was quite plain. We had hoped the venue would be part of the Prague experience. Disappointing venue, but musicians made up for it.
Une salle belle sans être remarquable, mais par contre, une sonorité vraiment exceptionnelle! Je n'ai jamais entendu un ensemble à corde sonner aussi bien dans d'autres salles.
Lovely comfortable venue. Good acoustics.
Ale proč je Website stoprocentní anglicky? Česká verze není možná?
Beautiful building and concert hall. The hall is small enough to feel intimate and has great acoustics. Even though all the seats are only on one level I had no problems seeing everyone on stage.
HAMU is a first rate venue. The Martinů concert hall is attractive, with comfortable seating and good acoustics. It is fairly small and well-suited to the more intimate feel of a chamber concert. There is a very reasonably priced cafe downstairs, with a courtyard to sit in in good weather and the venue is easily accessible by tram.
Accoustics wonderful and the building was breathtaking.

Getting out of debt_4d4 is the current topic of choice and on this we've covered ways to serve on air-conditioning from those things common sense dictates to those that are do-it-yourself variety. We will expand on the last one by making our own air-conditioner and swamp cooler.
Being able to make it cheaply and portable will be the best alternative to air-conditioning, won't it? The current version does not waste water because an aquarium pump is used to push the water via a tube loop which is underwater in a cooler filled with ice.
This air-conditioner was invented by college students while attending summer school in a dorm that does not have an air-conditioner. This can be used anywhere there is no air-conditioner like in attics, tool shed, garage or any room there is no air-conditioning. Before building one, familiarize yourself with the school policies regarding portable air-conditioners. Look below how much it will cost you if you don't build one.
Some universities and colleges are worried that students could make their dorm rooms too cool, skyrocketing the electric bills which of course the students do not have to pay. There may also be legitimate concern about units that are not properly put up that could fall off the buildings. Of course they are not too concerned about the students getting out of debt_4d4.
Once you know what is legal or not, You can start by buying the materials you need for your portable air-conditioner which will cost approximately $40. Here are the materials to shop for: 10 ft of ¼" copper tubing, some ¼" inner-diameter rubber tubing, 2 small hose clamps, 2 buckets, around 50 zip-ties, a floor-standing fan and tools.
1. Remove or detach the face of the fan and put it on the working table.
2. Coil the copper tubing around the fan face, using zip ties to attach each section to the fan page around 6 inches apart, ensuring that both ends shoot out the bottom of the fan face.
3. Use hose clamps to fix firmly the rubber tubing to either end of the copper tubing. Note that the newly cut copper is extra sharp so sand the edges before working on the tubing.
4. Fill one bucket with water and place it on a ledge or desk or on anything above ground level.
5. Siphon the water to the bucket on the floor through the contraption.
6. Last but not least, turn on the fan.
This one could cool you without getting out of debt_4d4. There is a simpler one though to build and it is called a swamp cooler. For this you will need 1 box fan, 2 five gallon buckets, 2 yards of burlap, water, 2 stands (bricks can do) that can hold buckets filled with water and are around half the height of the fan.
Place the buckets on the stands with the fan in the middle between the two stands. These should be near the fan but not touching it. Pour water onto the buckets each ¾ full and place the ends of the burlap in each bucket and stretching this in front of the fan. Wait several minutes before turning on the fan that is facing the room.
There you have built either the portable air conditioner or the swamp cooler. Either way you can keep yourself cool without having to fork out a lot of money which will certainly not help us achieve our goal of getting out of debt_4d4.

The men bound by dust and ashes with García Lorca
16 May, 2007 @ 05:07
A new book reopens the debate over whether the bodies of those killed and dumped in mass graves over Spain should be exhumed
Lisa Tilley
THREE men, and three men only, knew what Spain's most lauded poet and playwright Federico García Lorca was thinking during the final moments of his life.
On the night of August 17, 1936, a teacher, two banderilleros (assistant matadors) and the poet were waiting on the site of a former orphanage in Viznar, known as Las Colonias. They were waiting, it turns out, to breathe their final breaths, for their fascist assassinators to shoot them with hate and lead, for their bodies to be buried at the foot of an olive tree by the road from Viznar to Alfacar.
And for a moment, all poetry died, education died, bullfighting died, just as tradition and progress was being killed in the same way all over Spain, to be left in roadside ditches. The myriad losses of civil war.Journalist Francisco Vigueras has now published Los Paseados con Lorca (Those Taken Out With Lorca), a triptych of biographies in one book that retraces the lives of the teacher and Marxist, Dióscoro Galindo and banderilleros, Joaquín Arcollas and Francisco Baladí, who was also a plumber.
Both of the banderilleros were said to be anarchists – in the sense of following the political doctrine that rejects forms of rulership. For this, they were given el paseo (taken out).
Radical teacher
The book was written with the help of information from family and acquaintances of the three men, as well as former students of Dióscoro Galindo. Galindo had lost a leg in an accident but, according to the book, was an assiduous teacher and a tireless campaigner for educational freedom and reform.
Not content with the teacher's eradication, the franquistas (those who had sided with General Franco's military uprising in 1936) set about destroying his reputation, claims Vigueras. After his death, Galindo was sent a document effectively suspending his employment and salary, the rationale for this being some grave allegation against him. The document gave him ten days to contest the accusations. His evident failure to respond meant he was declared guilty and it was made public he had been dealt the ultimate punishment.
Vigueras explains this combination of assassination and slander was characteristic of the Falange (a fascist party) and used repeatedly throughout Spain. Galindo was just one of 50,000 teachers who were killed or purged from the education system for supporting liberal reforms and teaching "the values of liberty, equality and social justice," according to the author.
In addition to the stories of the victims, the book inevitably takes up the thread of whether the graves should, or should not, be further investigated.
As a founding member of the Association for the Recovery and Defense of Historical Memory (ARHM) of Granada, Vigueras thinks they should. The case is compelling: that so many should die without a nod of due process in Spain's recent history and be left still today in illegal graves while their families beg for their proper burials, contradicts all values of justice and individual rights.
The grandchildren of Dióscoro Galindo and Francisco Baladí are standing on the site of the presumed graves with Vigueras. Looking at the earth, the author explains: "This place is a symbol of injustice. Here lie men who were assassinated for defending the workers and for trying to create a new generation with a more open mind."
Nieves Galindo and Francisco Baladí, grandchildren of two of those who were assassinated alongside Lorca, have refreshed their intentions to find out the truth by investigating the graves. "We don't have any hidden interest, don't be mistaken. The only thing that motivates us is that we promised our parents that we would find our grandparents and I am not going to die before I do it," declared Francisco Galadí.
Promise or no promise to find out the truth for a parent who lived longing to know the fate of a father, they have a major obstacle to overcome first: the blood relatives of Lorca himself. Lorca's neice is doing all in her power to oppose further investigations of the grave, insisting that the remains lie at peace and should not be touched.
"We feel the mass graves are a kind of cemetery as they are. My uncle lies in good and noble company and the little information to be gleaned from digging up the graves does not justify what is essentially an extremely violent act," Laura García Lorca told the BBC in 2004.
Two fundamental rights are in confrontation here, according to the ARHM: the right to identity and the right to privacy. Vigueras has firm beliefs as to which is more important: "In a free and democratic country the right to identity should weigh more, as it is inadmissible that illegal graves should exist," he believes.Nieves Galindo went further by assuring that "the Lorca family should have a special interest. We do not want to touch the remains, only know that our grandparents are there. In fact, with new forms of technology, there is no need to even open them up," says Galindo. She then added: "We are ready to take them to court."
Whether the graves are opened or not, the author explains he is determined to reveal this "transcendental period in our recent history, little known by the younger generations." But the younger generations know mostly silence through Spain's 70-year unspoken pact of amnesia.
Collective silence and collective fear, as if contained within the graves themselves, is all the hate and drive to violence of the two Spains. Is this what the Lorca family fear? That with the opening of the graves will come the reopening of violent urges? Or perhaps the worst fear is that they open the graves to find they were mistaken, that the graves hold secrets which refute what they have assumed to be true for generations. Then what will there be to believe in?

In January of 1898, Harper's Weekly published this view of "Chicago's Levee District at Night." Online, via Library of Congress. Click on the image for a better view.
By the end of the 19th century, it was no longer smelly vegetation that was an issue for the city by the "big lake." Chickagou had become Chicago, then America's second largest city. As gateway to an undeveloped western wilderness, Chicago was often the last place where young bachelors could buy supplies.
Some parts of town, like "The Levee," gave those soon-to-be pioneers a chance to "let off steam" before they left the "civilized" world. Saloons, brothels and gambling parlors were so numerous by the 1870s that a directory was published to help visitors find their vice of choice.
After the Great Fire in 1871, even people who lived in Chicago drowned their misery in drink. Public drunkenness was such a significant problem that a group of leading citizens created the "Committee of Seventy." Their purpose was to combat both crime and the liquor industry.
Joseph Medill, the city's mayor, supported laws that closed bars on Sundays. He also tried to shut down the gambling parlors.
But, as people say, "where there's a will there's a way." So when the leading citizens of Chicago tried to clean-up their town, a different group of folks made sure the liquor still flowed and the brothels were fully staffed.
Organized crime had found its way to Chicago. The meaning behind the Potawatomi name still rang true.

Q: Which state management architecture is better for my Flutter app? Just to preface this, I have never worked with state management architecture before.
The main characteristics the architecture should have are:

*

*Scaleable

*Manageable/Debuggable relatively easily

*Compatible with asynchronous aspects of other components

*Ideally it should also be simple enough that a beginner can implement it ( Doesn't have to be easy, just relatively so.)

The app is going to have large asynchronous database components, but only much smaller parts of that data will be stored locally.
Other than that, there are also going to be (relatively minor) local functions in the app that will change values and the architecture must manage both of these.
I've searched the web, and the two main ones I've come up with are MobX and BLoC.But here is where I'm stuck.I can't decide between the two ( MobX seems more beginner friendly, but BLoC looks like it works better with Flutter and has more guides ).
So what are your suggestions? It can be about these two or any other that I've missed.Thanks in advance.

A: I would recommend looking into the provider package for state management within your Flutter app: https://pub.dev/packages/provider
It's very easy to get going with provider, and it's also recommended within the official Flutter docs: https://flutter.dev/docs/development/data-and-backend/state-mgmt/simple

Willow Smith, the 13 year old daughter of actors Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith is involved in a bit of an instagram controversy this week.
While we may all remember Willow as the cute braided kid who sang 'Whip my hair,' she's grown into a pre-teen with an adult actor 'friend' who recently posted a VERY questionable photo online.
Willow Smith, the 11 year old daughter of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith was spotted shopping in NYC yesterday afternoon (March 15, 2012.
Adorable lil Willow Smith has decided to bring Ghetto back in style.
The pint-size fashionista was spotted whipping light bright multicolored braids as she left her hotel in Manchester, England over the weekend.
Willow, the 10 year old daughter of Hollywood actors Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, seems to be enjoying her fame AND her new waist length braids.
Although most parents would probably disapprove of a 10 year old rocking such an eccentric new hairstyle, the Whip My Hair star is bound to set a new trend amongst her mini-me impressionable fans.
Willow, who's arguably one of the trendiest kids on the planet, seemed delighted with her new look as she smiled widely for the paparazzi. She is currently overseas opening for teen sensation Justin Bieber.
What do you think of Willow's new doo?
Although I originally dismissed DeAndre's tweet as a ploy for attention, it may not be as far fetched as it seems.
In case you're wondering what "interpolation credit" is…. it refers to receiving credit from the use of a melody or phrase, or portions of a melody or phrase (often with modified lyrics) from a previously recorded song.


Built in 1927, for the Red Funnel Line, as a ferry between Southampton and the Isle of Wight, Princess Elizabeth, named to commemorate the birth of our present Queen, was the successor to the paddle steamer Queen Mary, which was lost in 1919, after serving in the Royal Navy throughout World War I, and finally in Malta, as a minesweeper.
After twelve years as a ferry and excursion steamer in Bournemouth and the Solent area, at the outset of World War II, Princess Elizabeth was taken over by the Admiralty and converted into a minesweeper (No. J111). A year later, she was on her way to Dunkirk where her first task was to clear the mines from the narrow channel off the beaches, which was the only escape route. Only then could the work of embarking the waiting troops begin. Many of her sister ships, including the Brighton Belle, the Devonia and Gracie Fields were sunk at that time.
On her first journey, on 29th May 1940, she and her fellow minesweepers embarked, in all, 3,415 troops. One of them, the paddle-minesweeper Oriole, had deliberately beached herself early that morning, to allow 2,500 troops to pass over her decks to other ships, before she refloated on the next high tide that evening. When Princess Elizabeth came again, on Saturday, 1st June, she arrived in the middle of a furious air attack when, among others, the destroyers Keith and Baselisk and the minesweepers Skipjack and Brighton Queen were sunk. By evening, the fog came down and Princess Elizabeth had to return to Dover. She made a third trip in the night of 3rd/4th June, joining in the last desperate effort to rescue some of the remaining troops. Among others, she brought back to Dover 500 Frenchmen that day. Before the end of the war, she served as an anti-aircraft vessel. Then, in 1946, she returned to her civilian occupation.
When she was superseded as an excursion boat by more modern vessels, like many old timers, she enjoyed brief fame as a film star, and appeared in the Walt Disney film The Castaways. In 1966, another plan to keep her gainfully employed was to turn her into a casino, but this did not materialise. But in 1970, she was moored just up-stream of London Bridge as a restaurant.
Finally, in January 1988, it was reported that she had been bought by the French typographical group ADAT to be moored on the Seine just outside Paris as the first museum of typographical art. Part of the ship was to be reserved for exhibiting details of her own remarkable history.
She is now owned by the City of Dunkerque.

Rogelio Buscio's shoes were missing. It was the evening of July 27, 2005, and 30-year old Filipino Bucio was getting ready to leave the dormitory he shared with other Sanjo Metal Company Ltd. trainees to start his evening shift. He looked everywhere, asked everyone. Nobody was giving up the shoes.
What happened next set in motion a chain of events that would take over Bucio's life for the following year.
The next day, Bucio met with the manager in charge of trainees at Sanjo Metal Company Ltd., and was informed he was being dismissed. He was also told that he would have to return to the Philippines immediately, a move that would dash his hopes of saving money to start a family of his own, the reason he came to Japan.
Although he had been with the company for over a year with no prior infractions and had just signed another contract to work until July 2006, Bucio's pleas fell on deaf ears.
"The company violated my right to be heard when it failed to give me at least 30 days notice of termination. They wanted to force me to return to the Philippines and demanded I pay penalties for not being able to finish my contract," he says.
He sought help from the Catholic Diocese of Niigata and other nonprofit organizations, as well as the Labor Standards Bureau of Niigata, to no avail.
The company then threatened to report him to the immigration bureau and seek his immediate deportation.
But before that could happen, Bucio went to the bureau himself and reported his illegal dismissal. He then took the highly unusual step of taking the company to court.
"I've heard of similar cases in the past," says Bucio.
"The victims easily succumb to what the company wants. This is the reason I fought hard for my case. I don't want others to experience the same.
Although Bucio was not allowed to return to work, he sued for compensation for the remainder of the contract that he wasn't allowed to finish, which was 12 months, from July 2005 to July 2006. In March, the court found in favor of Roger, and ordered the company to compensate his monthly salary for the remainder of the contract.
The company has appealed the ruling.
Bucio's treatment by the company is not uncommon.
"The reality is that migrants in Japan are treated as second-class citizens," says Butch M. Pongos, the Japan-Philippines Coordinator of the Asia-Pacific Mission for Migrants (APMM), which works to help migrant workers and their families in the Asia Pacific region. He is also vice chairperson of the Filipino Migrants Center (FMC) based in Nagoya.
"As Japan's economy weakens, it is always the migrants who suffer first and get the hardest blow.
"Existing laws do not have enough teeth to target violators," he says.
The trainee program has provided a way for small companies to hire workers, mostly from Southeast Asian countries, notably the Philippines, to do "3 K" jobs ("kitanai" — dirty; "kitsui" — hard, "kiken" — dangerous) such as construction or factory work, that ordinary Japanese do not want to do. Pongos estimates there to be around 240,000 Filipinos in Japan, most of whom work.
Officially set up to help lessen the sting of Japan's labor shortage the trainee system has turned into a flow of cheap labor for unscrupulous companies that dangle working visas and the threat of immediate deportation over the heads of workers.
Companies often pay what works out to be less than minimum wage, skim money off paychecks for real or imagined "charges" and use the slightest infraction to dismiss workers before they have to consider taking them on as full-time employees with benefits.
"Some trainees get only a measly 50,000 yen a month and they have to pay for their food, electricity, gas and water. The trainee system is just another euphemism for cheap labor," says Pongos.
Pongos believes many foreign workers on the trainee program are being exploited mercilessly by the companies that hire them.
Most foreign workers do not have sufficient knowledge of the language, the legal system or access to support networks to defend themselves against labor violations.
In many cases, they are deported to their home countries before they even know what is happening.
"Their passports are kept by the employer to prevent them from running away to find better-paying jobs, they are assigned to dormitories and asked to pay rent (including utilities), their movements are controlled by the company and they are often forced to do overtime work for practically the same pay," says Pongos.
"For any minor infraction, trainees are immediately sent back to the Philippines even though they signed a contract specifying the length of their stay in Japan. Companies can do this because they can easily find new ones who are willing to accept less pay.
"Trainees are virtually at the mercy of the receiving company and the company that hires them," he continues.
In July of last year, the Community Page reported on a group of seven Filipino mothers who were fighting for citizenship for their children born of Japanese fathers.
In March of this year, the Tokyo District Court sided with the women and granted nationality to their children.
Rosanna Tapiru, one of the seven mothers, and pictured left with her children, Masami and Naomi, now admits she was somewhat surprised at the decision.
She acknowledges her children are barely aware of the complexities surrounding their status at present, but she believes she made the right decision to fight.
She hopes that her case will encourage others to fight for their children's citizenship rights.
In order for the child to obtain Japanese citizenship if the couple is not married, the father must give "ninchi," or recognition, that the child in the mother's womb is his own. If ninchi is given after the birth, courts don't recognize that the child had a Japanese father at the time of birth and reject claims for citizenship.

False Cognates: 'Actuellement' and 'Actually'
These words look like twins but mean completely different things.
CoffeeAndMilk/Getty Images
By ThoughtCo Team
Mistakes will always be made in French, and now you can learn from them.
French and English have hundreds of cognates, which are words that look alike or are pronounced the same in both languages. There are true cognates (similar meanings), false cognates (different meanings) and semi-false cognates (some similar, some different meanings).
The French adverb actuellement looks an awful lot like the English word "actually," but looks can be deceiving. It's really the case of a false cognate, because these two words mean completely different things:
Actuellement means "at the present time" and should be translated as "right now" or "currently."
"Actually" means "in fact" and should be translated as en fait, à vrai dire or vraiment.
Still, many people have not assimilated this lesson, and actuellement is mistakenly used to mean "actually" so often that you have to read the sentence two or three times to decide what the person actually means.
How to Remember Which Is Which
If you need a memory device, keep this in mind: Actualité refers to a current event. If you can remember this, you shouldn't have trouble remembering that actuellement and "actually" are false cognates with different meanings.
Or you can remember the etymology. The root word of "actually" is "actual," which means "real" or "true." (Depending on the context, "actual" can be translated as réel, vrai, véritable, positif, or concret.) By extension then, "actually" means "in fact."
Meanwhile, the French root word for actuellement is the French adjective actuel, which means "current" or "present." So actuellement naturally refers to time as well and, by extension, means "currently" or "right now."
Examples of Correct Usage
Je travaille actuellement. (I am currently working.)
Le problème actuel (The current/present problem)
Actually, I don't know him. (En fait, je ne le connais pas.)
The actual value (La valeur réelle)

The first Jeep was called the Bantam Reconnaissance Car and was introduced in 1940 as a U.S. Army prototype vehicle. The model was later redesigned to be the Model MB and was used as part of the U.S. war effort during World War II. The company was always well known for its off-road capabilities due to the solid axles used in its vehicles and heavy duty suspension.

We've sent Ed Henderson out to Uppsala to film an interview with legendary lyricist and bassist Graham Lewis. Since August 2018, Crows Nest have been thoroughly enjoying working on Wire's autiobiographical feature documentary with Malcolm Boyle and Graham Duff. We've had the distinct pleasure of filming some of the band's performances and conducted interviews with the art rockers at Rockfield Studios. Having already visited the homes of Colin Newman, Robert Grey and Bruce Gilbert, we're now being hosted by Edvard Graham Lewis in Sweden.
The Quietus described Lewis as "an onstage pouting pugilist and an offstage sports enthusiast, he's also something of a wit." Born in Lincolnshire, Graham is currently a resident of Uppsala which is also home to the striking water tower featured on the cover of Object 47. He is responsible for the bulk of Wire band's lyrics. Having originally graduated in 1974 from Middlesex Polytechnic with a degree in fashion design, he initially worked as a freelance designer. A successful collaboration with the Jeffrey Rogers company led to his designs appearing in the editorial pages of Elle, Cosmopolitan, 19, and more, and his collections were available in a number of high-street boutiques.
Things all changed in 1976, when he was asked to join, as bass player, an unnamed group consisting of George Gill, Colin Newman and Bruce Gilbert. Robert Grey soon also joined, and the band became known as Wire. However, Gill's departure led to the remaining quartet having to create an entirely new set of material, and so Graham formed a writing partnership with Colin, with Graham primarily acting as lyricist. Subsequently, Graham also wrote and sang many of his own compositions, and with Bruce, Graham managed and created much of Wire's visual identity, including record sleeves and stage design.
Outside of Wire, Graham has been prolific, working on a number of other projects. He's released solo and collaborative CD works with Bruce Gilbert, Russell Mills, C.M. von Hausswolff, John Duncan, Leif Elggren, Jean-Louis Huhta, Thomas Öberg, Andreas Karperyd, and Mattias Tegnér. He's also co-founded the groups Dome, Cupol, P'o, Duet Emmo, He Said, He Said Omala, H.A.L.Ö, Ocsid, Hox and, most recently, 27#11.
Graham has composed music for modern dance (including for the Michael Clark Company, Stephen Petronio Company, and Su-en Butoh Company), and for film (including Brothers Quay, Bigert & Bergström, and Gunilla Leander). Also active in the arts scene, Graham's installations have graced The Waterloo Gallery, MOMA (Oxford), Fargfabriken (Stockholm), Baltic Art Museum (Goteland), and Podevil (Berlin). He also held the Krevian post of Minister of Wholey Smoke.
Crows Nest are dead chuffed to be working with Malcolm again on this project, having worked with him for many years on Hoppy: Underground Head.
It's also great to work with Ed again, who we welcomed home from The World, before sending him back out into it. Ed has been busily traveling the globe with his wonderful wife and their baby son. You can see some photos of their extraordinary adventures here.


Last week my painting "Sneak Attack" went to an extraordinary private collection containing about 550 works of art. Since then, I've been having an email conversation with the owners, and it turns out that their collection also contains more than 30 paintings by Paul Strisik. In addition to being an important painter, he was the author of several books on the craft of painting. One of these, Capturing Light in Oils, was a significant guide to me 15 years ago as I was taking my first steps as a hobbyist landscape painter. It turns out that he was also instrumental in inspiring these collectors to buy the art that they loved. It feels like a nice symmetry to me, and I'm honored that my painting will hang with such distinguished company in its new home.

Dark Chocolate – New Discovery, Too Good to Be True?
July 27, 2016 Aaron Bode
What could be the next big secret to walking farther and longer on the treadmill? Would you believe us if we said dark chocolate?
A recent pilot study in Italy concentrated on 20 people ages 60-78 who suffer from peripheral artery disease, a narrowing of the arteries that carry blood from the heart to the legs, stomach, arms and head. The reduced blood flow as a result of this disease can cause pain, cramping or fatigue in the legs or hips while walking.
The patients who participated in the study walked on average 11% farther and 15% longer, two hours after eating 40 grams of dark chocolate than they did before eating the standard size American candy bar.
The dark chocolate used in the study had a cocoa content of more than 85%, making it rich in polyphenols which researchers believe improve blood flow to the legs by affecting biochemicals that prompt arteries to widen.
But as great as this sounds for all of us with a sweet tooth, don't get too excited. 11% father was on average only 39 feet and 15% longer was on average only 17 seconds.
Dr. Mark Creager of the American Heart Association cautions that as interesting as these findings are due to other health concerns related to consuming too much chocolate including: diabetes, obesity and high cholesterol he does "not recommend that people eat chocolate bars to improve their walking distance." To Dr. Creager's comment we would also add, that it takes a lot longer than 17 seconds on a treadmill to burn off a candy bar.
In short, although dark chocolate might add a few seconds to your workout, it doesn't add enough to rationalize eating a candy bar before the gym.

Honest Tea Gets Real On Sports Drinks
Identifying that organic sports drinks options were lacking in the market, Honest Tea is launching a new line of organic sports drinks called Honest Sport. Piloted at the Pentagon City Whole Foods Market in Arlington, Va., on June 29, 2016, Honest Sport is currently available in 16.9 fl. oz. bottles of lemon, orange or berry flavors, and each bottle includes only 100 calories. Like all other Honest products, Honest Sport is also certified organic.
According to Seth Goldman, co-founder of Honest Tea, this new product is offering a delicious, yet organic sports drink option to cater to athletes looking for a healthier option for mid- or post-workout hydration. Like other popular sports drinks, Honest Sport delivers a balance of electrolytes and carbohydrates to rejuvenate athletes after rigorous activity, conforming to The American College of Sports Medicine's guidelines for sports drink formulation, while being made with simple, premium organic ingredients.
"Just as the idea for Honest Tea was sparked during a run, the idea for Honest Sport came to life after I finished a triathlon," said Goldman. "With the athlete's needs in mind, we designed the beverage and its packaging to reflect the three key roles of a sports drink: refreshment, refueling and rehydration."
In addition to using only certified organic ingredients, the new product is sweetened with Fair Trade Certified™ sugar. Therefore, with every purchase of Honest Sport, a contribution is made to Honest Tea's Fair Trade sugarcane supplier community in Paraguay. These contributions go toward the promotion of safe, healthy working conditions for the local labor force, while supporting practices that protect the environment.
The introduction of Honest Sport offers a compelling new product for New York City vending consumers, as the sports drink category continues to increase in popularity as well as healthier vending options. Also, it's coming in at a reasonable price point – $1.99 per bottle – which is certainly not price prohibitive for the typical organic food customer.
This product will continue to be introduced at other Whole Foods Market locations in the Mid-Atlantic region and other select regions throughout the remainder of 2016. No other details are available at this time, but we'll keep you posted once we're able to add it to our product lineup.
For more information about healthy snack and beverage options for your New York City breakroom, contact your New York City vending partner Healthy Vending at 917.572.3671 to discuss your customized break room solution.

Some very common examples are: a frosted glass, butter paper, a tracing paper. You can coat some oil on a piece of paper and make it translucent, which otherwise is opaque. Translucent objects diffuse the light that passes through them. The intensity of light passing through them is appreciably reduced.
Examples of translucent materials are frosted glass, oil paper, some plastics, ice and tissue paper. Translucent materials obscure objects because they allow some light to pass through, but the light that is allowed to pass through hits particles found within the material and scatters it in all directions.
Some examples for translucent objects are: Butter paper, ground glass, thin sheets of plastic etc.Materials like air, water, and clear glass are called transparent. When light encounters transparent materials, almost all of it passesdirectly through them.
