These sessions are designed for the under 5s giving them the chance to get creative and make a puppet. The whole session lasts about 1½ hours, with the making part of the session taking the first hour then you will be free to chat and play! Included in the price is a cup of tea or coffee for the adults.
The lower age limit for making a puppet is 2, but younger siblings are welcome to come along.
The sessions are limited to 12 children so advance booking is advisable.
The Friday session will run until 5pm to incorporate performances from 4pm to which parents are invited.
Please ensure your child brings a packed lunch. Children will not be permitted to leave the site unaccompanied during lunch break.

Using an array of materials and some expert guidance, you will create a spell-binding character to take home.
During this workshop you will create a marionette - otherwise known as a string puppet, in the form of a scarecrow. The marionette is one of the most traditional of puppet forms made famous on television in shows like Thunderbirds and Andy Pandy. Who will you base your scarecrow on - the scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz, Worzel Gummidge or will yours be unique and come from your imagination?
A Norwich Puppet Theatre production, designed and directed by Peter O'Rourke, written by Tim Kane with original music by Ben Glasstone.
We all know the story of Little Red Riding Hood, but which story do we know?
Norwich Puppet Theatre's retelling of this classic folktale draws on the story's origins in the oral tradition, together with versions by Charles Perrault and the Brothers Grimm.
Straying from the path, our feisty heroine, a charcoal-burner's daughter, has to pit her wits against the hungry wolf.
This production guarantees a feast of visual innovation, extraordinary puppet theatre and original music and song - with inventive staging and witty dialogue.
The glove puppet is one of the traditional styles we use here at the Puppet Theatre and during this session you will be making and decorating one with a cartoon theme.
The question is what character could that be? - maybe inspired by Winnie the Pooh, The Simpsons, Mickey, or Scooby Doo. Whatever the character there will be lots of materials to choose from to adorn and decorate your puppet.


Over the past year, access to safe and legal abortion has taken some serious hits from the Texas Legislature. After the passage and implementation of HB2, one of the country's most restrictive abortion laws, the majority of the state's abortion facilities were forced to close. In the wake of these attacks on reproductive healthcare, thousands of women are left without the ability to find or pay for a procedure that they desperately need. That's where the Texas Equal Access Fund, together with Art Peña's Vice Palace and a host of Dallas musicians, comes in.
This Dallas-based nonprofit provides financial assistance to low-income women who can't afford to pay for their abortion. Each TEA Fund grant is around $50 to $100, which is largely due to the fact that there are so many women who need funding that the group simply cannot give more. Women across the state are now calling TEA Fund to get assistance, which has only further overburdened their tight budgets.
Local synthpop band Little Beards has a unique connection to the fight for abortion access in Texas. One half of the husband-wife duo, Nan Little Kirkpatrick, also serves as the executive director of the Texas Equal Access Fund when she isn't playing in her two bands. Kirkpatrick formed Little Beards with her husband Sean, an artist with an extensive career in Dallas music, playing in bands like Nervous Curtains and John Congelton's the Paper Chase.
Nan Little Kirkpatrick is also in a band called Frauen, which sounds like a seriously busy schedule of making, practicing and playing music. In an effort to raise a little cash for TEA Fund, the Kirkpatricks have put together a show Saturday night at the roving DIY venue Vice Palace inside the Oliver Francis Gallery to raise money for the TEA Fund's annual Bowl-A-Thon.
If you're into good local music, especially of the "synthy" variety, you're not going to want to miss Saturday night's show. In addition to the Kirkpatricks' acts, Denton-based dreampop trio Nite is also slated to play, and just yesterday oddball performance artist George Quartz was announced as the headliner of the bill. Earlier this year, Quartz served as the musician-in-residence at Vice Palace, a quirky, progressive music space.
A brand-new band called Kitbashes, composed of several top-secret Dallas musicians, will also make their debut at Vice Palace. Nan Little Kirkpatrick wasn't willing to divulge any information about who is actually in Kitbashes, but she promises that everyone was going to enjoy what they're working on. Proceeds from the show's $5 cover charge will go directly to funding abortions, which sounds like a pretty sweet deal. DJ Gabe Mendoza is scheduled to play between the bands.
In addition to the music, TEA Fund will have tables at the show to provide concertgoers with information about how to get involved with the organization in ways other than just buying a ticket, like volunteering for a hotline shift. The group has also assembled an impromptu silent auction, with sweet prizes like a hair and makeup session at Dallas Pin Up and artisan made jewelry.
"I know when people hear silent auction, they think expensive," says Nan Little Kirkpatrick. "But we're going to keep the costs low so everybody can bid with the spare cash they brought."

Audio is the debut album by Blue Man Group, released on December 7, 1999, through Virgin Records. The album was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Album.

This album was released in two versions:  The DVD had 5.1-channel versions of the music in both DVD-Video (using Dolby Digital) and DVD-Audio formats (one on each side) and a CD that had a 2-channel stereo mix of each track.

A behind-the-scenes video of the album is viewable on a promotional 2000 VHS known as Audio Video. This video is also included as a bonus on the Audio 5.1 Surround Sound DVD.

Reception

Heather Phares of AllMusic rated Audio three out of five stars. She explained that it "reflects over a decade's worth of musical and theatrical innovation." Although she stated that "the spectacle of the group playing its sculptural, surreal-looking instruments is absent from the album," she concluded her review by calling it "an album that proves the Blue Man Group is as innovative in the studio as it is onstage."

Social events make up an important part of working life. The success of any business comes down to having a cohesive and happy workforce. Organising social events throughout the business year is one of the best ways to achieve this.
Successful social events are not simply a case of gathering your staff members together and leaving them to it. In order for your office's social events to be as effective as possible, it's important that you set aside some time to plan the events as thoroughly as possible. Here, we take a look at a few tips which can help you to piece together the best social event for your office.
The most important thing is for everyone to be present for your event. This not only requires smart planning to ensure that you pick a time which is appropriate for everybody, but also necessitates clear communication.
Set a date for your event as early as possible and do all you can to ensure that the date is known throughout your workplace. If you've chosen a time carefully and have let everybody know, the rest is down to your co-workers in terms of attendance.
It's usually a good idea to get out of the office when you're organising a social event, and this means you'll probably be taking part in an activity of some kind. The key here is to avoid doing things which make it difficult for people to talk. Going to see a film is an example of an activity which isn't particularly appropriate for this kind of event.
There are few things more awkward at a social event than running into financial difficulty. In order for things to run as smoothly as possible, it's generally wise for businesses to take care of the costs in advance.
In situations where payments might need to be made during the event, it makes sense to use your business account with American Express Australia. This usually takes a weight off everybody's mind, making it easier to relax and socialise.
The ultimate goal of planning a social event is to keep everyone happy. For this reason it makes sense simply to speak to your co-workers when planning an event. Finding out what everybody would be most comfortable with can be a huge help when it comes to keeping the entire office happy.

Management lessons from the three kingdoms – Kaiser Kuo
On: October 16, 2012
In: Baidu, culture
Tagged: Kaiser Kuo
Kaiser Kuo
Liu Bei, the Chinese warlord during the three kingdoms, emerging from the mighty Han empire, has inspired inspired many, and taught valuable management lessons, recalls Kaiser Kuo, both rock musician and communication director at Baidu in the BBC News Magazine.
The BBC News Magazine:
"He had fallen on hard times and he was making a living just selling straw sandals and mats," recounts Chinese rock musician Kaiser Kuo, who loved the stories of Liu Bei as a child.
"In the story he stands looking at the poster that's been put up calling for the brave men of the kingdom to rise up. And he sighs. And behind him there is a big burly guy by the name of Zhang Fei, a butcher, who chastises him for merely sighing and not actually doing something about it."
The two of them go off to have a drink in the tavern and come across a man with a red face, a very long beard and a green battle gown, Guan Yu. The three of them then swear an oath of eternal brotherhood in a peach orchard and set about trying to save the Han dynasty…
Kaiser Kuo says he was once introduced to the Chinese-American founder of a Silicon Valley computing firm, who was born and raised with these stories and saw them as directly relevant to the company's business.
"He had his senior management team meet every Monday morning to discuss a chapter of Three Kingdoms," says Kuo.
"The real story is about how to deploy people of talent. It's really all about management and when I read these stories today, I still find just tremendous relevance."
More in the BBC Magazine.
Kaiser Kuo is a speaker at the China Speakers Bureau. Do you need him at your meeting or conference? Do get in touch or fill in our speakers' request form.
The China Weekly Hangout offers each Thursday a debate on China's current affairs. Today the focus will be on innovation in China. October 18 we will discuss the question what China's telecom giant Huawei could have done in defending itself against the attacks by US Congress. For upcoming debate, sign up at our China Weekly Hangout page.

Q: Can the Lightweight Testing Automation Framework (LTAF) be used in Continuous Integration? I'm interested in using the Lightweight Testing Automation Framework (LTAF) to create integration tests for my web application.  However, I need it to be run on the build server.  Does anyone know if this can set up to do this?
There does not seem to be a whole lot of information on the web on this right now :-)

A: There's a blog post (Lightweight Test Automation Framework – Automated Build Support) that describes how to implement the runner as a console application, it can then be integrated into a build server fairly simply by redirecting the build output and setting the return code appropriately.
The author posted the code used in the article, you can download it from here.

A: I don't have experience with LTAF, but found this nice article:
First steps with Lightweight Test Automation Framework
Quoting the author (Steve Sanderson, from the comments):

Lightweight Test Automation Framework
  can be invoked with query string
  parameters (to specify which tests to
  run) and can emit a log of the results
  to a text file, so it would be
  possible to integrate it. However,
  this is certainly not as easy as using
  Selenium RC which as you say works
  through a traditional test runner.

A little lateral thinking can at times save you penalties, or cost your opponents more.
Here are some ideas but the sportsmanship of some is dubious at best!
Don't stop just after a control to solve a clue, tell the driver to carry on at a gentle pace to the next distinctive junction which you must describe sufficiently for him or her to recognise. You can then work on plotting the route which hopefully you will solve by the time you get to the junction, then provide the required directions and start reading the road. Driving on can save a lot of time.
If you can't figure it out, follow someone who looks like they know what they're doing. This can be dodgy because if they take the wrong way you may end up worse off than if you had just cut.
If you come into a control about to 'wrong direction' (WD) try sneaking past quietly in the hope that the officials are busy and don't spot you. Then, well out from the control (out of sight!) do a U-turn and proceed briskly to the control as if nothing unusual was happening. You just might get away with it and if not it will probably give the officials a laugh.
Not uncommonly, a number of cars will end up stopped at a junction trying to sort out the route. When one of them thinks they have it, the rest usually follow. If you are still working on it, consider whether the chance is worth trying, but do take notice of where the other cars go.
If you are first to plot the route and a competitor who is supposed to be ahead of you on time follows , drive on but time it so your arrival at the next control is just on time. They will be late and incur a penalty.
If you must let a competitor past who has been annoying you for some time by signalling with lights and/or horn, a good place to do so is just before the next observation control board, which you can carefully conceal by pulling over in front of it. If at night, either turn off your lights or make sure they don't illuminate the board.
If you are being followed by another car the driver will be able to use your brake lights to easily stay with you. The driver touching the brake pedal very lightly with his/her left foot when least expected is considered acceptable gamesmanship. A switch which disables the brake lights is neither acceptable nor legal.
If you are coming onto a suitable junction a good ploy to get rid of a team tagging along on your route plotting is to go just past the junction and then to let them past. Once they are out of sight, execute a smart U-turn and go back the correct way.

Congratulations to the 2011 Get Ready Scholarship winners!
Six students have been chosen as the recipients of the American Public Health Association's annual Get Ready Scholarship.
The scholarship, which is awarded in conjunction with APHA's Get Ready campaign, encourages high school, undergraduate and graduate students to recognize emergency preparedness as a public health issue. Hundreds of students from across the nation applied, but only six were chosen.
Drum roll, please. The winners are:
• Katherine Double: Bear Creek High School, Lakewood, Colo. (High school level)
• Amy Miller: Yukon High School, Yukon, Okla. (High school level)
• Alex Ghenis: University of California-Berkeley, Berkeley, Calif. (Undergraduate level)
• Katelyn Somers: University of Maryland, College Park, Md. (Undergraduate level)
• Alana Massey: Yale University, New Haven, Conn. (Graduate level)
• Leanne Piña: University of Texas, Houston, Texas (Graduate level)
Each of the winners receives a $500 scholarship for school-related expenses and a one-year APHA membership. Winners were determined through an essay contest on various topics ranging from planning a successful Get Ready Day event and assessing their university's emergency plan to discussing the role of social media as a tool for emergency preparedness.
"We are very pleased that for the third straight year, we have been able to not only help educate these dedicated students about the importance of emergency preparedness in their own communities, but also to provide financial assistance that will allow them to further their education," said Georges C. Benjamin, MD, FACP, FACEP (E), executive director of APHA.
Excerpts from the winning entries can be viewed online.
Are your infant's shots up to date? April 23-30 is National Infant Immunization Week
It's often said that a baby's smile is contagious. Who can resist a cute little baby face? When babies smile, we are assured that they're happy, healthy and safe. That's why we strive to keep them smiling. And that begins with protecting them from diseases through routine vaccinations.
April 23-30 is National Infant Immunization Week, organized by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Celebrated since 1994, the week draws attention to the many benefits of vaccination and reminds parents to make sure their children's shots are up to date.
Vaccinations are particularly important for infants, as children's immune systems are most vulnerable during their infancy. Health officials recommend that infants receive a series of vaccinations for diseases such as measles, mumps and the flu, a full list of which can be found online or at the doctor's office. Falling behind on vaccinations can be dangerous, as a 2009 outbreak of whooping cough in California showed. During that outbreak, 10 infants died and 8,000 people became sick.
The recommended series of childhood immunizations prevents about 10.5 million cases of infectious illnesses annually and 33,000 deaths just in the United States, a study found. So it's important that infants don't miss out.
Parents who worry about being able to pay for their children's vaccinations can call 800-232-4636 toll-free to find a facility that provides immunizations through the Vaccines for Children Program, which provides vaccines at no cost to children whose parents can't afford them.
Promotional materials for National Infant Immunization Week, including posters, proclamations and certificates, are available on the event website. The CDC site also provides an online schedule that parents can create for their child as a reminder.
The next time you look on a baby's face, keep the National Infant Immunization Week slogan in mind: "Love them. Protect them. Immunize them." That way, your baby will keep smiling for years to come.
Looking back at this flu season
May is just around the corner, and that means the end to the "official" flu season in the United States. That doesn't mean we're all now safe from the flu — flu cases are still occurring in every state and are widespread in New York and Maine — but it does mean the peak of cases has likely passed.
So now that the season has ebbed, it's a great time for health officials to look back and see how things are going on the flu front. While official end-of-season evaluations aren't in, there are some good findings in weekly U.S. surveillance reports. As of April 9, 91 flu deaths among children had been reported for the season, compared to 282 last flu season. Surveillance also shows 5,700 reported flu-related hospitalizations this season, compared to more than 7,500 last season.
Why the change? One possible reason is the H1N1 virus. The virus, which reached pandemic levels in 2009, was included in this season's flu vaccine formula and therefore more people may have been protected. Cases of the virus have also waned worldwide, and it's no longer considered a pandemic. H1N1 flu hasn't disappeared, however. Statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show that during the most recent week data was collected, 28 percent of U.S. flu cases were typed as the 2009 H1N1 influenza A strain.
The flu season news is not all good: Overall deaths from flu and pneumonia have been above the "epidemic threshold" for at least 11 weeks, with 8 percent of all deaths from a 122-city surveillance system linked to the two diseases. Drug resistance is also a continuing concern for health officials, who are monitoring flu virus samples for evidence of increasing resistance to drugs commonly used to fight the flu.
What this all means for next flu season is uncertain, as flu seasons are notably unpredictable. Annual U.S. deaths during the past four decades have ranged from 3,000 a year to 49,000 a year. So no matter what the final numbers for this flu season show, it's important that once the new season rolls around this fall that we all line up again for our flu vaccinations.
Simple devices can help prevent disasters at home
There's no place like home, the old saying goes, and for most of us, it rings true. That's why when a disaster happens at home, such as a fire, it can be particularly devastating. To keep our homes safe and sound — as well as those who live inside them — it's important to have the right equipment.
Smoke alarms: According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, four out of every 10 home fire deaths occur in homes without smoke alarms. Install smoke alarms on every floor of your home, including the basement, and particularly near rooms in which people sleep. If you use battery-powered smoke alarms, make sure you replace the batteries regularly. Test all smoke alarms monthly to ensure they are working properly.
Fire extinguishers: Make sure your home has a fire extinguisher. For the home, a multi-purpose extinguisher that can be used on all types of home fires is the best choice, according to National Fire Protection Association. The group recommends an extinguisher that is large enough to put out a small fire, but not too heavy that you can't lift it.
Carbon monoxide detectors: Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that can cause sudden illness or death when inhaled. Common sources include improperly adjusted gas appliances, furnaces, wood-burning stoves and fireplaces. To detect dangerous levels of carbon monoxide in your home and reduce the risk of poisoning, purchase a carbon monoxide detector. Batteries in carbon monoxide detectors should be replaced twice a year.
Radon test kits: Radon is a naturally occurring colorless, odorless gas that, when inhaled at high levels, can lead to lung cancer. Radon can seep into your home through cracks in the foundation and is usually found within lower levels of homes and in basements. Low-cost, do-it-yourself radon test kits are available in hardware stores. You can perform either short tests — two-90 days — or long tests — more than 90 days. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency can tell you the right method of testing and acceptable levels of radon for your home.
By properly using these simple, low-cost devices in your home, you can help prevent a disaster. For more tips about living injury-free, visit APHA's National Public Health Week website.

Fire safety at work: Staying safe and injury-free
If a fire were to start while you were at work, would your company or office be ready to get everyone to safety? A minor fire in the workplace can quickly turn into a disaster. But a few precautions can help you reduce risks and protect you and your co-workers.
First, employers should make sure all employees are aware of the location of the emergency exits and fire extinguishers and that they know how to use them. Staff members should also know the fire evacuation route and where the safe meeting place is located. If your workplace has workers who are disabled, elderly or will need assistance when evacuating, make sure they are a part of your evacuation planning. If your business serves customers, such as a store or restaurant, incorporate evacuating the public into your planning. Regular fire drills are a must.
Before a fire occurs, it's also a good idea to take some time and see if things are ship-shape around your workplace. Make sure exit lighting isn't burned out and that stairways aren't blocked. Be sure to check on fire extinguishers regularly to ensure they are not expired or have not been tampered with.
If a fire alarm goes off when you are at work, don't wait to see if it's a drill — exit immediately. If there's smoke, crawl underneath it to reach the nearest exit, and cover your nose and mouth with a cloth. If you reach a closed door, use the back of your hand to feel the bottom, middle and top. If it is hot, do not open it; find another exit. When you have safely exited the building, do not re-enter until you receive the all-clear.
By being prepared and following evacuation advice, you and your co-workers can be better protected from injuries during a fire. Preventing injuries is the focus of this year's observance of National Public Health Week, which has a theme of "Safety is No Accident: Live Injury-Free." The event, to be held April 4–10, offers tips and guidance to help you promote living injury-free at home, at work, at play, on the move and in your community.

LONDON (AP) — Prime Minister Theresa May is determined to get a tweaked version of her rejected European Union divorce deal through Parliament. British lawmakers have other ideas — lots of other ideas.
May's Conservative government is headed for a showdown with Parliament next week, when lawmakers get to vote on the prime minister's latest proposal, and can try to amend it to send her in another direction.
Here's how the battle is shaping up:
MAY'S PLAN B
After the divorce agreement struck between the U.K. government and the bloc was resoundingly rejected by Parliament last week, May held talks with government and opposition politicians and came up with a "Plan B" — one that looked remarkably similar to her Plan A.
May told the House of Commons on Monday that she was aiming to win lawmakers' backing for her deal after securing changes from the EU to a contentious Irish border measure.
The bloc insists that it won't renegotiate the withdrawal agreement. And opposition lawmakers say the scale of May's defeat last week — 432 votes to 202 — shows she must radically alter her deal if it is to have any hope of approval.
But Parliament is deeply divided about what changes to make. Pro-Brexit lawmakers want to remove the Irish "backstop," an insurance policy that would constrain British trade policy in order to ensure there are no customs checks between the U.K.'s Northern Ireland and EU member Ireland. Pro-EU legislators want May to lift her insistence that Brexit means quitting the EU's single market and customs union.
Amid the impasse, one thing is in short supply: time.
BUY BREATHING TIME
Britain is due to leave the EU on March 29, with or without a divorce deal. The political impasse over Brexit is fueling concerns that the country may crash out of the bloc without an agreement in place to cushion the shock. That could see tariffs imposed on goods moving between Britain and the EU, sparking logjams at ports and shortages of essential supplies.
May says the only way to avert a no-deal Brexit is to back her deal, but lawmakers are trying to pause the clock.
Groups of "soft Brexit"-backing lawmakers, who want to keep close economic ties to the EU, are planning to use amendments during a Jan. 29 debate on May's plan to try to rule out a "no-deal" Brexit, delay Britain's departure and put alternative plans on the table.
Half a dozen amendments had been filed by Tuesday, most aiming to allow time for Parliament to hammer out alternatives to May's rejected deal. One of the most prominent, with support from both opposition and Conservative lawmakers, would give May until Feb. 26 to pass a deal, or see Brexit delayed as Parliament took charge.
It will be up to Commons Speaker John Bercow to decide which amendments are put to a vote. Any that are approved would not be legally binding, but as an expression of the will of Parliament would be hard for the government to ignore.
SEEK A NEW REFERENDUM
A growing group of campaigners argues that Brexit has become so divisive, complicated and gridlocked that politicians can't solve it, and the only answer is to ask voters again whether they want to leave the EU.
May is strongly opposed to the idea. She said Monday that a new referendum, less than three years after voters opted for Brexit, would "damage social cohesion by undermining faith in our democracy."
But others argue that it's the only way to break the logjam.
"Two and a half years ago we voted on an abstract idea, that's the truth," pro-EU Conservative lawmaker Dominic Grieve said Tuesday.
He said now that the details of Brexit were clearer, the best course was to "go back and ask the public whether they really want what the prime minister has negotiated and offer them the alternative, remain, instead."
May says she plans to go back to Brussels after Jan. 29 to seek changes to the deal from EU leaders — ideally after getting Parliament to pass a vote calling for a time limit on the border backstop.
The bloc insists that the legally binding, 585-page withdrawal agreement cannot be reopened, and says the backstop is essential to keeping the Irish border open.
EU spokesman Margaritis Schinas said Tuesday that in "a no-deal scenario in Ireland, I think it's pretty obvious, you will have a hard border."
The EU is more flexible about a non-binding political declaration laying out the framework of future relations between Britain and the bloc. But EU leaders say they won't consider any changes until Britain figures out what kind of Brexit it wants.
"I have a terrible sense of deja vu," Schinas said, before using the words of the Spice Girls to send a message to British politicians.
"We expect the U.K. to tell us what they want, what they really, really want," he said.

My Top Ten Underrated Metal Bands
Everyone loves a band they believe to be underrated, a band whose songs appeal on so many levels it seems downright criminal they're not playing sold-out stadium shows around the world. Why are the Taylor Swifts of the world getting all the attention when all these amazing musicians are languishing in obscurity?
That, my friends, is the unfairness of popular music.
But that doesn't mean that we, as fans, have to settle for less. We can be the voices of the bands we love, and spread the word to others about bands we know and love. These aren't just bands I think are a bit of all right, they're albums I play constantly, as much as I listen to Sabbath or Maiden or any of the other big guys.
And, in case you were curious, I've made a Spotify Playlist of songs from my ten picks. Listen to it here.
Mezarkabul / Pentagram
If ever someone asks me for a recommendation of a little-known metal band, I point them in the direction of Mezarkabul. I found their album Unspoken for $2 in the bargain bin at Real Groovy some ten years ago, and they have remained a favourite of mine ever since.
Mezarkabul hail from Turkey and play incredibly beautiful, catchy, stunningly-composed power / heavy metal incorporating Anatolian musical elements and instruments in their music. If you liked Amorphis' Elegy, you're probably going to enjoy these guys.
They are little known outside of their home country. They were originally called Pentagram, but changed their name to Mezarkabul after discovering the US doom band also called Pentagram were getting more well-known. But you'll often find them still listed as Pentragram, so it can be hard to even find their stuff. (Some of their songs are listed under Pentagram on Spotify, for example).
These guys are probably my second-favourite German power metal band, and I don't understand why they're not headlining festivals alongside Blind Guardian. They were formed by guitarist Uwe Lulis when he left Grave Digger in 2000. All their albums are concept albums, and it is the three albums they wrote about the Norse Sagas that stand as their most brilliant works.
Sadly, Lulis and two other original band members left in 2010, and while the band are still awesome, I don't think they've been quite the same since. Their music incorporates everything you love about German power metal, but it's just heavier and intelligent and exceptionally catchy.
Solstafir are an icelandic metal band fromed in 1995, and like all other Icelandic bands, are a little bit weird. I've talked about this band on the blog before, when I reviewed their 2014 release Ótta. Simply put, it's a stunning album, and you should listen to it now.
Sadly, two of the band members had a bit of a showdown over social media last year that left a bit of a sour taste in some fans mouths. Their music still stands as some of the most beautiful and imaginative scores to have come out of metal in the last twenty years. Why are they not as beloved by the indie scene as Sigur Ros?
Nachtgeshrei
We saw these guys at a tiny German medieval festival where they were the standout act of the day. They call themselves a folk metal band, although the folk elements in their music aren't the sole focus, and their songwriting leads more to rock than metal in many songs.
Nachtgeshrei's lyrics are in German, which limits their commercial appeal outside their own country. But if Eluveitie have such respect for writing their songs in Gaulish, then it's possible for Nachtgeshrei to gain international appeal, right? Right?
Skyclad invented folk metal. There's no debate. And 30 years on, their albums are still some of the best folk metal around. Far from the polished pop-flavoured drinking songs popular now, Skyclad's sound with rough, dirty English thrash and NWOBHM with a deeply political bent and some of the best lyrics to ever come out of heavy metal.
Apart from the fact that Skyclad have obviously broken up, so they're not playing shows any more, I fail to see any reason why they don't have as much respect as the more popular Finnish acts like Korpiklaani and Turisas. They're often glossed over as folk metal "precursers" but albums like Vintage Whine and The Silent Whales of Lunar Sea should be classics.
The Project Hate MCMXCIX
A Swedish industrial metal band fromed in 1998, I first came across these guys when we were travelling through Norway and a lovely record store owner put on Hate, Dominate, Congregate, Eliminate. We begged him to sell us the CD so we could hear more. He was gutted as he'd only just opened the packet that day and it was his only copy, but sold it to us anyway (Capitalism, yay!)
The band contains members of Entombed, Grave, Witchbreed, House of Usher, and other relatively big names in the Swedish metal scene. They have suffered through most of their career with poor distribution
Why these guys aren't as big as Marilyn Manson or Nine Inch Nails, I don't know. They have never released a bad album, and produce a big heavy sound that mixes black metal elements with industrial music. There's even a bit of orchestral stuff thrown in? And did I mention it's duel male/female vocals? Basically, they are awesome. Go listen.
Annihilator are a Canadian thrash band founded in 1984 by Jeff Waters. They are the biggest heavy metal group in Canada, which isn't really saying much (sorry, Canada).
Serious question. Did Annihilator ever write any bad songs? I bet you can't name three. Jeff Waters is such a charismatic vocalist, you can instantly recognise an Annihilator song by his distinct sound. Annihilator are relatively successful, but I always felt they never got as big as they could have been, or should have been.
The first Finnish band to make the list! It's hard to call many Finnish bands "underrated" since the Finns are pretty vocal about their metal, but in the case of Battle Beast I think they need to be shouting a bit louder. The original lineup consisted of high school friends, and a few lineup changes (particularly of the vocals) have only led to a strong, more awesome sound.
In the same year, Battle Beast won the 2010 Wacken Metal Battle and the Radio Rock Starba, and they received a ton of exposure. Their third album in 2015, Unholy Savior, is their strongest yet. They are definitely gaining more recognition, and I'm hoping in another couple of years no one will be calling them underration.
I still can't forgive Wacken 2011 for putting these guys on at the same time as Blind Guardian.
These guys are gaining a lot of critical praise across the world, but I'm adding them in because they deserve MORE DAMMIT. In case you've been living under a rock and haven't heard me the last 17,086 times I mentioned them, Beastwars are an incredible stoner rock/metal band from here in New Zealand. They are just … wow. That is all. Why are they not as famous as Mastadon? I think it's only a matter of time.
Not technically a metal band, Wishbone Ash are a British rock band who had a relative amount of success during the early/mid 1970s. Steve Harris of Iron Maiden was listening to Wishbone Ash when HE was dreaming of playing in a metal band. They were one of the first bands to use twin lead guitars.
Wishbone Ash are so vital to the sound of NWOBHM and yet they're barely know in metal circles beyond a footnote in foundational essays. Just listen to Warrior. Holy shit, it's such an incredible song. That's proto-metal being formed, right there.

Hey Steff.
Recently starting listening to a Canadian band called Unleash the Archers. Some pretty awesome tunes but you should give the tracks "Tonight We Ride" or "General of the Dark Army" a jam.
@Buzzard – thanks for the rec! I'll give 'em a spin \m/

"Press" is a song written and performed by American rapper Cardi B, released as a single on May 31, 2019. The single was produced by Slade Da Monsta and Key Wane. It debuted and peaked at number 16 on the US Billboard Hot 100. The song has been certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The parental advisory-labeled music video, starring Cardi B as a naked rampage killer facing a trial, marked her directorial debut.

Promotion
In December 2018, Cardi B posted a video to Instagram of her rapping part of the song. She later said that she was set to release it soon after, but decided to release the music video for "Money" instead. On May 27, 2019, Cardi B tweeted that the "single and official cover art drops this Friday 5/31". She shared the cover art of the single, which features her escorted out of a court room entirely naked by a group of men with paparazzi taking pictures of her.

Critical reception
"Press" received generally positive reviews from critics, with many noting the evolution of the rapper's attitude towards the media in the lyrics from previous songs such as "Bartier Cardi" and her featured verse on husband Offset's single "Clout"; NME called the song "defiant", while Billboard labelled her as "pressing on" amid "bad press, haters, beefs". Pitchfork praised Cardi being "now fully ready to take aim at any haters" while noting the deviation between "non-stop cut-downs" and "goofier boasts about her money and sexual prowess"; the magazine also stated that the rapper had "sharpened her rapping abilities to deadly effect" in the song.

Music video

Cardi B announced that the video for "Press" would be released in June 2019 on her Twitter. The video was then officially released on June 26, 2019, on her YouTube account. It was directed by Jora Frantzis and co-directed by Cardi.  The parental advisory-marked music video has since received over 100 million views.

The video opens with Cardi B's character shooting a male and a female after having a threesome. Accused of murder, she then is arrested and taken to an interrogation, where she challenges the officers. She is seen leading a choreographed routine with a crew of nude dancers. She killed a courtroom jury and the dancers. The clip closes with her angrily drowning her cellmate in the toilet.

Live performances
The first televised performance of "Press" was when Cardi B performed live at the 2019 BET Awards, along with a performance of "Clout" featuring her husband Offset. Entertainment Weekly named it "the top moment" of the night in their review article. BET ranked the esmerald attire as the best performance outfit since their first show in 2001. Introduced by Drake, Cardi B opened her set at the 2019 OVO Fest performing "Press".

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The first U.S. Senate debate between Democratic ex-Gov. Phil Bredesen and Republican Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn is set for Sept. 25.
Blackburn's campaign announced Monday she'll join the Cumberland University debate in Lebanon, the first invitation it has accepted as part of its general election debates. Hosts include The Tennessean, the League of Women Voters of Tennessee, WTVF-TV and WNPT-TV.
Bredesen previously agreed to participate in that debate and three in Memphis, Chattanooga and Knoxville.
Rhodes College spokesman Matt Gerien says Blackburn's campaign told them the Sept. 13 Memphis debate doesn't fit her schedule.
Bredesen said he'll host his own forum there because the closest debate to Memphis shouldn't be 200-plus miles away.

Q: Refresh Jtable when change in database. Error :ORA-12519 I'm a beginner in Java projects and I want to know the best way to do something.
I have developed a desktop application which show data from a table in database in a JTable, and when that table has a change, it has to show previous data + new records.
Well, I made a thread:
First of all, Start, show all the data in a JTable, executing a query.
Thread: keep attention to database, executing a query, different from the first one, every X seconds.
It's supposed that every single connection after executing query is closed, but from time to time appears this error:

Listener refused the connection with the following error: ORA-12519,
  TNS:no appropriate service handler found

I've read something about it exceeded the maximum number of proccesses admitted, and also probably I could solve it with Poolable Connection, but I'm not sure about how to do it.
Could anyone help me with that?
Thanks in advance!

A: I am not sure about oracle, but I tried a similar approach using the MS Access Database. Instead of a thread, I used the Timer and the TimerTask class to schedule my process to repeat after a fixed rate. There is a scheduleAtFixedRate method in the Timer class which helps you to schedule tasks in the thread pool. I think that should help. Look at the api for these classes for more information.

The Akai ASQ-10 is a bit like the forgotten little sister of the MPC-60 and MPC-3000. Launched in 1988, it sported the sequencer of the MPC in a white, metal casing, with a (still) large, backlit, text-only display near the top.
Filling a niche for those who wanted the ingenious combined pattern/linear sequencer workflow but rather not have the pads and sampling functionality of the bulkier (and much more expensive) MPC, I remember reading an interview with Mike Lindup of Level 42 in Keyboard Magazine claiming this to be "the best sequencer in the world". And for someone like me, who owned most of the hardware sequencers made, it became #1 on my shortlist. Sadly, they were (and still are) rarer than a hen's teeth.
I finally found one in the classifieds, owned by a teacher and hobby musician who had brought it back from the U.S. a couple of years earlier. I got it for a fair price, and for the best part of the 90's, tons of songs and ideas were recorded on it.
And then it started to break down.
Unfortunately, I presume to cut costs, it is equipped with key switches that, while having a gorgeous click on activating, wear down with time and need to be replaced. Had it been fitted with the computer keyboard style keys of old Yamaha and Roland gear, it would have lasted forever, but alas, my Play and Play/Start keys eventually needed a hammer to be activated, and when the disk drive finally started to become unreliable, I gave up and moved to Atari. And then everyone went DAW of course.
Remember, this was around the start of the millennium, meaning that it was really difficult to source replacement parts and almost impossible to find reliable information on the web. I ended up selling it for parts or repair, someone picked it up at the train station in a paper bag. Stupid.
Fast forward to 2014. I have since owned the MPC1000 and MPC4000, loved the sequencer, but I never liked the sampling engine, it always felt like a 90's relic to me. I started to realize that for recording and manipulating audio, beats and rhythmic textures, I preferred powerful software (Ableton Live, NI Maschine) or interesting quirky hardware (Teenage Engineering OP-1). But the idea started to grow on me to create a hardware-only corner of my studio. To connect old MIDI and CV equipment reliably and be able to record ideas in a fast manner, it's still hard to beat dedicated hardware, even in the 2010's.
A new breed of musicians have realized this as well, and are investigating the possibilities of older gear, meaning that suddenly a plethora of information, resources and parts are being made available. I realized that I wanted a sketch pad that I knew my way around blindfolded, and after watching the wonderful MPCHunter site for some time, I finally ended up buying a refurbished ASQ from the Netherlands, and it is now the hub of all my hardware instruments in my "old corner" of the studio.
It does have its quirks. The display beeps at a B flat, and one of the fast-forward keys is upside-down for some reason. But it's fast, intuitive, and it just works. In upcoming articles, I will share some insights in how an old beast like this can be upgraded to 2010's standards, and still bring the uncompromising workflow and swing to your music.
Because it's an MPC in a dress.
I like your blog. A follow up to this article would be cool.

Background: White coats are known to harbour microorganisms; this study aims to determine the microorganisms present on the white coat and investigate the factors associated with contamination, reasons for wearing, usage and attitudes of doctors towards the white coat.
Methods: A cross sectional type of quantitative and qualitative study to determine the contamination of white coats. Participants completed a questionnaire and samples were taken from the cuffs and pockets of white coat.
Results: 94% of the white coats screened were harbouring organisms. Diphtheroids are the most common bacterial isolate and Aspergillus is the only fungal isolate. The medical speciality, frequent washing and the use of disinfectants is associated with decreased contamination.
Conclusions: As white coats harbour microorganisms, this may result in transmission of these microorganisms to the patients and that may result in nosocomial infections, especially in the immuno-compromised. Therefore, measures need to be taken to decrease this risk of transmission by hand washing and frequent washing of white coats with disinfectants.

Arizona Family Florist is dedicated to providing quality products and superior service to all of our customers. With a wide range of services, our family of brands is committed to building long-term relationships with vendors and customers alike. Our goal is to create a sustainable atmosphere and continue to grow the solid foundation that Arizona Family Florist has created.
Arizona Family Florist isn't just their name–it's who they are as a company. Founded in 2005 by husband and wife team Brad and Cheryl Denham, the company started delivering everyday flower arrangements in Phoenix's east valley for a national flower retailer. Through hard work & dedication, Cheryl & Brad steadily grew their business to include 6 locations valley-wide, with an eventual goal of opening 10-20 retail stores. Once the recession hit in 2008, they had to take a hard look at their current business model and make immediate decisions about the future & direction of the floral industry and how that would affect their company. Consolidation was the answer. Instead of growing their business one small store at a time, they decided to shift their focus to building the ultimate floral destination in Arizona. In a bold move, they consolidated the 6 locations into a central, state-of-the-art, 35,000 sq. ft. location in downtown Phoenix, serving the entire Phoenix metro area. In addition to consolidation, they focused their efforts on diversifying their business with the introduction of new floral and gifting brands. This proved to be a pivotal point in their success. With all operations housed under one roof, the business became much more efficient and flourished as the economy began to make a recovery.
In 2011, after seeing an unfulfilled need for local brides to have access to upscale floral design, Cheryl & Brad made another bold move in introducing LUX Wedding Florist. While being a natural extension of their core flower business, LUX became nationally recognized for winning the coveted Society of American Florists (SAF) 'Marketer of the Year' award in 2012. With the success of LUX, they have recently expanded the brand's luxurious consultation and design studio in the adjacent suites.
With their tremendous buying power it made sense to sell floral and hard goods at the wholesale level to other local florists, so the Wholesale Division was born in 2016 and has been growing steadily ever since.
The latest in their prolific line of brand development is Geneva Fine Chocolate. Sourced locally & packaged exclusively for Arizona Family Florist, the decadent chocolate truffles come in a variety of flavors including Milk Chocolate Amaretto, Milk Chocolate Mousse, Milk Chocolate Raspberry, Dark Chocolate Orange Meltaway & French Mint. The candy is sold out of the retail store in 3 sizes, as well as through the Wholesale Division to other floral businesses.
Today Arizona Family Florist has grown to become Arizona's largest florist and is considered an innovative leader in the floral industry. Their multi-channel approach to retailing has spawned a diverse family of brands including an all occasion floral delivery service, Arizona Florist, and Arizona Flower Market, a wholesale market open to the public, award-winning, full service bridal & event floral design studio LUX Wedding Florist and Geneva Fine Chocolate.

As monkeypox cases climb and vaccine is in short supply, some Texas cities declare an emergency

Dallas and Austin officials have declared monkeypox a public health emergency — bids both to get in line for federal funding and to send a message to residents that the virus is serious and painful and they should take precautionary measures while the vaccine is in short supply.
"As we're running out of vaccine and medications, we want to engage our community and ask them to help us stem the tide, the spread of the disease," Austin-Travis County Medical Director/Health Authority Dr. Desmar Walkes said. "And allow us the time to retool and refuel, as it were, and get what we need to treat people and to vaccinate people who are exposed to the virus."
Texas' major cities have received thousands of monkeypox vaccine doses and expect thousands more in the coming weeks, but a national shortage of the shot has officials and the people they're trying to protect begging for more.
"It is not enough," Austin Mayor Steve Adler said. "We need the federal government to do everything it can to increase the availability of medicine and vaccines to our community."
There are 815 confirmed Texas cases of monkeypox, a contagious rash of painful lesions that can be debilitating but is not typically fatal, nor does it typically lead to hospitalization or long-term health problems. More than 11,000 cases have been documented in the U.S. during the current outbreak, more than any other country.
Monkeypox spreads through close, intimate skin contact with someone who has the virus, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that many, though not all, of the reported cases have been among men who have sex with men, although that is not historically the community where the virus is typically found.
It is not a sexually transmissible disease because it does not require sex to be transmitted, but sex is how it's commonly being spread currently, health officials said.
While this outbreak has hit some 89 countries so far, the virus had been largely contained in Central and West Africa for decades.
As more cases are reported, other demographics are starting to show up in the numbers, according to state data. Two weeks ago, 100 percent of the cases were in men who have sex with men. On Thursday, that percentage was down to 95 percent.
The idea of a public health emergency declaration may rekindle concerns about the sorts of business closures and other measures enacted during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, but the orders over monkeypox include none of those measures.
The declarations signal to the federal government that those areas are in need of more vaccines and medical tools to beat back the contagion.
But those enacted in Dallas and Austin, officials say, are mainly to raise awareness of the disease and encourage those most at risk to do what they can to slow the spread while the community waits for more vaccine to become available.
Officials are asking residents to wash their hands, avoid direct skin-to-skin contact and isolate themselves if they get sick. They also want people to take precautions as a means of avoiding further financial strain in a tough economy amid inflation and rising housing costs.
"If you become ill, you will have to isolate at home until you recover," Walkes said. "That's going to be a financial drain on you and your family."
Vaccine shortage
The call for awareness comes as state and federal officials scramble for vaccine doses to contain the virus as it spreads faster each week.
Similar to the motives and messages behind the local orders, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra declared monkeypox a public health emergency in order "to unlock additional tools that will help us contain and end this outbreak, and to signal to the American people that we are taking our response to the next level."
The monkeypox vaccine shortage is attributed to supply chain problems, with an unprecedented worldwide demand in countries that had rarely, if ever, seen the virus on their own soil.
The CDC has said more doses are being procured, but that the vaccine may not be widely and easily available until at least next year.
The Texas Department of State Health Services is sending more than 28,000 doses doses to public health departments this month, officials said.
Federal officials also are holding additional doses for states in case they're needed before the CDC can re-up this winter and "may be released later depending on the status of the outbreak and vaccine administration data," according to a notice sent to local health officials earlier this week.
Houston, where more than 200 cases have been confirmed, has received nearly 12,000 doses of the vaccine. San Antonio, with 17 confirmed cases, has obtained 1,000 doses and expect another 3,500 doses next week. Tarrant County has received 1,100. None of those localities are expected to declare public health emergencies over monkeypox in the near future.
The state has several hundred in its stockpile to "for state facilities and filling in gaps that arise," DSHS spokesperson Chris Van Deusen said.
Austin has received more than 3,100 doses of the monkeypox vaccine. But given the spread of the disease in Austin, that supply is "running out," Walkes said this week. The local supply of vaccine doses was expected to be down to about 200 by the end of the week, Walkes told Austin's City Council on Thursday.
Strategies for deploying the vaccine in each public health region are up to the local officials and may vary, although state health officials are instructing providers to administer only to those who meet certain high-risk criteria or who already have been exposed through close contact, Van Deusen said.
Some counties, such as Dallas, are allowing appointments to be made only over the phone — with no current online appointment system — and are administering the vaccines in clinics where patients' privacy can be protected.
Van Deusen said that because different communities have different needs, the state has not specified who each local department can authorize to administer vaccines.
"They know the communities and at-risk populations in their area," Van Deusen said. "They may choose to administer the vaccine themselves or work with public or private providers who serve particular populations or both. I wouldn't assume one approach will be the best approach everywhere."
More people eligible
After weeks of limiting the vaccine only to people who have had intimate skin contact with someone who tested positive for the virus, the state on Tuesday began to allow providers to administer them to certain high-risk people before exposure — a move patient advocates have said would be critical in containing the virus.
Those the state considers to be currently at the highest risk are primarily men who have sex with men and who have had multiple or anonymous sex partners over the past 21 days.
The vaccine can prevent onset even after exposure, scientists say, and can mitigate symptoms in those who do contract it.
The state also now allows people under 18 to get the injections if they are at high risk.
Broader eligibility means potentially more vaccine recipients, but state and federal officials are trying to prepare for that, too.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration this week approved the administration of the vaccine in a shot injected under the skin, much like a tuberculosis test, as opposed to into body fat, like more traditional vaccines. By offering the shots in this way, only a fifth of the full dose is needed for each person.
"In recent weeks, the monkeypox virus has continued to spread at a rate that has made it clear our current vaccine supply will not meet the current demand," said FDA Commissioner Dr. Robert M. Califf. "This will increase the total number of doses available for use by up to fivefold."
The method can stretch a vial of vaccine, but it requires specialized training to administer and certain types of needles and syringes.
Dallas County, where more than 200 cases have been confirmed, has received more than 5,000 doses to date but will soon begin using the new injection method approved to stretch those doses and inoculate more people as officials expect numbers there to continue to rise rapidly, Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins said.
North Texas has one of the highest concentrations of cases compared with the rest of the state, state officials said.
"We don't have enough vaccine to get to all the populations who are at risk of monkeypox based on where the outbreak is right now," Jenkins said. "That's the bottom line."
Public health departments have personnel trained in the administration method, but DSHS still has to procure enough specialized syringes and needles before they can start doing the shots intradermally, Van Deusen said.
When and if the vaccine is given to private providers, additional training will be needed, which could take more time, he said.
"We're certainly recommending it as a way to stretch the supply, but it's not an instant fix," Van Deusen said.

Although they are aware that paper mail can be forged, most users are blissfully unaware that email can also be forged. Forged mail can lead to a serious breach of security. Two points of vulnerability that require particular attention are the queue file and the SMTP interface of sendmail.
HSubject: Change your Password Now!!
The system has been compromised. Change your password NOW!
Unfortunately, in any large organization there will be more than a few users who will obey a message like this. They will gladly change their password to one assigned to them, thereby providing the attacker with easy access to their accounts.
The queue directory must be owned by root and writable only by root. CERT recommends that the queue directory always be mode 0700.
The queue files placed into the queue by sendmail must be well protected by defining narrow default permissions with the TempFileMode (F) option (see Section 34.8.68, TempFileMode (F)). A default of 0600 is best.
 V8 sendmail also tries to verify the connection itself with identd if possible.
Subject: Change your password now!
Fortunately, the Received: header above contains the name of the real host (which is not always the case). An attentive user can tell that this is a forged message because the host in that header line differs from the false hostname used in the other header lines.
 In fact, the gnu-emacs(1) mail reader deletes those lines irrevocably.
Clearly, a user who sees only this much of the mail message will be more likely to believe that it is real.
Educate your users that mail can be forged. Teach them what to look for when they receive a message of questionable authenticity.
Rarely, if ever, send mail as root. Always communicate as yourself and always use a distinctive style of writing. If users never see mail from root, they will be more likely to question such mail when it arrives.
Train users to never send (or ask to receive) clear-text passwords or other security-related information by email.

The Regimental Archive of the
Royal Monmouthshire Royal Engineers (Militia)
The Regiment through the ages
The Castle and Regimental Museum, Monmouth, holds the records of the Royal Monmouthshire Royal Engineers (Militia). The Regiment was formed in the sixteenth century and the records cover the period 1786 to 1991.
The Regiment was originally a local militia and is now part of the Territorial Army. Throughout its long history, it has always been a reserve force, composed of men with ordinary occupations who were brought together at intervals for training, and were called upon for active service at times of need. It is the senior regiment in the reserve Army.
You can find out more on the history of the Regiment on the museum website and about the Regiment today on the British Army website.
The title of the Regiment has changed over time:
The Regiment at Pembroke
• Monmouthshire Militia (1660-1793)
• Monmouth and Brecon Militia (1793-1804)
• Royal Monmouth and Brecon Militia (1804-1820)
• Royal Monmouthshire Militia (1820-1852)
• Royal Monmouthshire (Light Infantry) Militia (1852-1877)
• Royal Monmouthshire Engineers (Militia) (1877-1896)
• Royal Monmouthshire Royal Engineers (Militia) (1896 to date)
Most of the changes in the title were just changes of name. However, the change in 1877 was a major one as at this date the Regiment was converted from an infantry regiment to a regiment of engineers.
The Regiment was 'embodied' (called up for active service) at the following times:
Temporary railway bridge
Wars with France (1793-1815)
Crimean War (1854-1856)
Second Boer War (1899-1902)
Second World War (1939-1945).
More recently, units from the Regiment have served in Bosnia [1997] and Iraq (2003 and 2007), but the records of these periods of mobilisation are not held as part of the Archive.
