Traditionally, motivation researchers have been more concerned about what motivation is rather than how to motivate students. Recently, research interests have shifted towards educational purposes and an increasing number of studies now propose motivational strategies. Motivational strategies refer to "methods and techniques to generate and maintain the learners' motivation" (Dörnyei, 2001, p. 2). Using motivational strategies is generally believed to facilitate students' motivation, but only a few studies have found empirical evidence to support this claim. For example, Hiromori (2006) used "creative writing activities with student self-monitoring techniques" as a motivational strategy and showed that the strategy had a significant positive effect on students' motivation toward learning English. Tanaka and Hiromori (2007) proposed that "group presentation activities" are a useful motivational strategy. They successfully enhanced students' intrinsic motivation during a 5-week intervention. However, the number of studies that examine the effect of motivational strategies in the actual English language classroom is limited. In this article, I would like to point out two drawbacks of the above studies.
The first drawback is related to the definition of motivation. Most of the preceding studies on motivation define motivation as a trait attribute. However, many researchers segmentalize motivation into different levels (e.g. Crookes & Schmidt, 1991). Vallerand and Ratelle (2002) analyzed intrinsic motivation in three levels, namely situational level, contextual level, and global level. They recommend that motivation be considered not merely as a unitary concept, but as a complex concept. However, studies examining the effect of motivational strategies focus only on the trait and unitary aspects of motivation. Thus, there needs to be an examination of the effect of motivational strategies on motivation in different levels. In this article, three types of intrinsic motivation are addressed, namely intrinsic motivation to listening/speaking activities, intrinsic classroom motivation, and intrinsic trait motivation.
The second drawback concerns research design. Much of the research that examines the effect of motivational strategies adopts a pre-post design. However, in order to capture motivational changes in more detail, adding more measurement times would be useful. In this article, intrinsic motivation was measured at three different times; that is, pre-measurement, mid-measurement, and post-measurement.
Thus, this study aims to enhance students' intrinsic motivation in three levels. I adopt Self-Determination Theory (SDT), a well-developed motivation theory in psychology, as the theoretical underpinning. This theory provides a useful framework for examining the effect of motivational strategy because it assumes the existence of three psychological needs (i.e., the need for autonomy, competence, and relatedness) as prerequisites for enhancing student motivation.
The purposes of this study are as follows: (1) to enhance intrinsic motivation to engage in listening activities; (2) to enhance intrinsic motivation to engage in speaking activities; (3) to enhance intrinsic classroom motivation; and (4) to enhance intrinsic trait motivation. This study further explores facilitating factors of intrinsic motivation in the three levels. Thus, this article also aims (5) to examine which psychological need (the need for autonomy, competence or relatedness) plays the most significant role in students' motivational development; and (6) to explore new facilitating factors of intrinsic motivation.
Fifty-two university students who were enrolled in a first-year English language course participated in this study. The students met once a week in a 90-minute class. The intervention was given to them for fifteen weeks. Prior to the beginning of the intervention, students were given questionnaires about language learning motivation and the three psychological needs. The same questionnaires were administered in the middle and at the end of the intervention. An open-ended questionnaire was also administered to students at the post-measurement stage.
The results of the quantitative analysis showed that: (1) the intervention had a significant positive effect on students' intrinsic motivation to engage in listening/speaking activities and intrinsic classroom motivation; (2) the need for competence had a strong relationship with the development in students' intrinsic motivation to engage in listening activities; (3) the need for competence and relatedness had a strong relationship with development in students' intrinsic motivation to engage in speaking activities; (4) all three needs were related to the development in intrinsic classroom motivation. Further, the results of qualitative analysis indicated that (5) "usefulness" might be another facilitating factor of motivation.

IAJE Day 1
This year's IAJE should be very well blogged. When I posted quickly Wed. afternoon, two people had already signed onto Blogger from that terminal in the conference's internet café area. As mentioned Wed. on the fly, IAJE started well, with Bobby Watson and the La Guardia High School Jazz Sextet. The Monk Institute supports several high school jazz programs, bringing in big name artists like Watson for month long teaching gigs. The results sound impressive. Watson also noted approvingly that the Monk Institute does not allow their ensembles to play with sheet music on the bandstand. You have to respect the old school approach, there.
The evening's concerts established a nice vibe. One for All played a nice set of their upbeat hardbop. The Grand Ballroom show in the Hilton featured a nice mix. Doc Severinsen was scheduled to guest with the Music School's Crescent Super Band, but was forced to cancel—no announcement why. Ernie Watts stepped in as a last minute replacement (no disrespect, but I was more interested to hear him than Severinsen) and performed a couple tunes with the Crescent band, including a driving performance of "East Coast Envy." Joey DeFrancesco played a swinging set with Ron Blake, but the vocal number did not have nearly the same energy. Musicians this year seem much less reticient about plugging CDs, which is fine. After assuming in jest everyone had already bought his last CD, DeFrancesco joked that if anyone doesn't, surely they can have someone burn it for them. That's the state of the business, I suppose. The best act of the Grand Ballroom lineup was the Latin Giants of Jazz, consisting largely of Tito Puente's former band, including the great Mario Rivera, performing the music of Puente, Machito, and Tito Rodriguez. A few people were even dancing, and nobody dances anymore. In between musical acts, there was also an appropriate presentation to Wendy and some of the Jazz Foundation's financial angels, St. Agnes Varis of AgVar Chmicals and longtime Foundation supporters e-trade, for there support of NOLA musicians.
The real revelation came during one of the late night concerts. Norwegian trumpeter Mathias Eick had been awarded the IJFO International Jazz Award for New Talent during the Ballroom show, and he got his set in the Trianon room for a show featuring his regular working trio. Eick will be recording for ECM and he should fit in nicely there. He still has his own conception, running a gamut of moods, from a heavy keyboard distorted e.s.t. vibe, to a lighter, freer ECM-ish sound, and finishing with a mellow swing. So far, Eick is the discovery of the show.

'Survivor' Sequel Planned?
By Stephen M. Silverman
Updated November 25, 1997 12:00 AM
CBS is reportedly is prepping another 13 episodes of "Survivor" for a second edition of the show, to air early next year. The Hollywood Reporter says that the network is soon expected to announce that it will seek 16 new contestants who will be isolated for 39 days in October and November. Their destination? Probably a remote outpost of Australia.


On Sunday morning the Rev. J Towyn Jones gave the right hand of fellowship to 110 new members. As a consequence of the present revival about 250 new members have been added to the church roll of Bethel Congregational Chapel, Glanaman. A large number of converts have signed the temperance pledge.
From, 'The South Wales Daily News', 16th January 1905. The South Wales Daily Post reported 317 added to the church on 16th February 1905.

Uttarakhand: Indian Army, State Govt To Set Up Airfields In Areas Along China Border To Boost Defence Preparedness
by Swarajya Staff - Nov 05 2019, 2:27 pm,
Uttarakhand CM Trivendra Singh Rawat with Army Chief Bipin Rawat and UP CM Yogi Adityanath (@tsrawatbjp/Twitter)
The Indian Army, with support from Uttarakhand government, will be constructing airfields in the hill state, which shares border with China, to boost the connectivity as well as defence preparedness, reports India Defence News.
Working with Uttarakhand government, the Army and the Air Force will also provide support to the state machinery in their efforts to boost connectivity, infrastructure and telecom facilities in areas close to the border with China.
Advance landing facilities in high altitude areas of the state will make it easier for the Indian military to quickly mobilise forces to check on any aggression by China.
"When I recently met Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat, he said that advanced landing grounds or airfields should be constructed in the areas bordering China. We are speedily working on it," Chief of Army Staff (COAS), General Bipin Rawat was quoted in the report as saying.
General Rawat was addressing the 'Raibaar conference' held on the banks of Tehri lake in Uttarakhand on Sunday (3 November).
The COAS further added, "Army is also helping the locals living in border areas in taking up occupations such as walnut and pine-nut farming."
Ever since coming to power in 2014, Modi Government has been extensively focusing on improving roads and building high altitude air fields for strategic purposes near border regions. Besides, all-weather roads, communication lines, railway infrastructure are being built in border areas for bolstering country's defence preparedness.
The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) had built an alternative road to connect the Doklam valley, were India and China had a 73-day long military standoff in 2017, along the Chumbi valley where China, Bhutan and India converge.
Since 2014, out of the 61 strategic roads covering 3,346 km being built by BRO along the India-China border, 3,298 km are now connected. Nearly 2,400 km of these roads are already blacktopped, making them all-weather roads.

Can't Hurt Me
For David Goggins, childhood was a nightmare - poverty, prejudice, and physical abuse colored his days and haunted his nights. But through self-discipline, mental toughness, and hard work, Goggins transformed himself from a depressed, overweight young man with no future into a U.S. Armed Forces icon and one of the world's top endurance athletes. The only man in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force Tactical Air Controller, he went on to set records in numerous endurance events, inspiring Outside magazine to name him The Fittest (Real) Man in America. In this curse-word-free edition of Can't Hurt Me, he shares his astonishing life story and reveals that most of us tap into only 40% of our capabilities. Goggins calls this The 40% Rule, and his story illuminates a path that anyone can follow to push past pain, demolish fear, and reach their full potential.

The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership
Jim Dethmer
You'll never see leadership the same way again after reading this book. These fifteen commitments are a distillation of decades of work with CEOs and other leaders. They are radical or provocative for many. They have been game changers for us and for our clients. We trust that they will be for you too. Our experience is that unconscious leadership is not sustainable. It won't work for you, your team or your organization in the long term. Unconscious leadership can deliver short term results, but the costs of living and leading unconsciously are great. Fear drives most leaders to make choices that are at odds with healthy relationships, vitality and balance. This fear leaves a toxic residue that won't be as easily tolerated in an increasingly complex business environment. Conscious leadership offers the antidote to fear. These pages contain a comprehensive road map to guide you to shift from fear-based to trust-based leadership. Once you learn and start practicing conscious leadership you'll get results in the form of more energy, clarity, focus and healthier relationships. You'll do more and more of what you are passionate about, and less of what you do out of obligation. You'll have more fun, be happier, experience less drama and be more on purpose. Your team will get results as well. They'll be more collaborative, creative, energized and engaged. They'll solve issues faster, and once resolved the issues won't resurface.

"For David Goggins, childhood was a nightmare. Poverty, prejudice, and physical abuse colored his days and haunted his nights. But through self-discipline, mental toughness, and hard work, Goggins transformed himself from a depressed, overweight young man with no future into a U.S. Armed Forces icon and one of the world's top endurance athletes. The only man in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force Tactical Air Controller, he went on to set records in numerous endurance events, inspiring Outside magazine to name him 'The Fittest (Real) Man in America.'. In Can't Hurt Me, he shares his astonishing life story and reveals that most of us tap into only 40% of our capabilities. Goggins calls this The 40% Rule, and his story illuminates a path that anyone can follow to push past pain, demolish fear, and reach their full potential"--Publisher's description.

Leadership and Self-Deception
The Arbinger Institute
"Since its original publication in 2000, Leadership and Self-Deception has become a word-of-mouth phenomenon. Its sales continue to increase year after year, and the book's popularity has gone global, with editions now available in over twenty languages. Leadership and Self-Deception shows how the problems that typically prevent superior performance in organizations and cause conflicts in our personal lives are the result of a little-known problem called self-deception. People who are in self-deception live and work as if trapped in a box. They can't see the reality around them--they're blind to the self-serving motivations that are sabotaging them on the job and at home. But there is a way out. Through an entertaining and engaging story, Leadership and Self-Deception shows what self-deception is, how it operates, the damage it does, and, most importantly, what can be done about it.This third edition includes new research about the self-deception gap in organizations and the keys to closing this gap so that people take responsibility for their own problems and for organizational problems. It also includes the first chapter from Arbinger's latest bestseller, The Outward Mindset"--
Just read Leadership and Self-Deception (after @stewart recommended it). A simple 3 hour read that taught me a huge amount about the ways I interact with people. I strongly recommend it for any leader; here's a summary of what I learned: https://t.co/PcT3TbQkbD

We Are the Nerds
Christine Lagorio-Chafkin
A riveting look inside Reddit, the wildly popular, often misunderstood website, whose intensely-engaged users have changed the culture of the Internet--"a must-read for anyone hoping to make sense of the century ahead" (Ashlee Vance, bestselling author of Elon Musk). Reddit hails itself as "the front page of the Internet." It's the third most-visited website in the United States--and yet, millions of Americans have no idea what it is. We Are the Nerds is an engrossing look deep inside this captivating, maddening enterprise, whose army of obsessed users have been credited with everything from solving cold case crimes and spurring tens of millions of dollars in charitable donations to seeding alt-right fury and landing Donald Trump in the White House. We Are the Nerds is a gripping start-up narrative: the story of how Reddit's founders, Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian, rose up from their suburban childhoods to become millionaires and create an icon of the digital age--before seeing the site engulfed in controversies and nearly losing control of it for good. Based on Christine Lagorio-Chafkin's exclusive access to founders Ohanian and Huffman, We Are the Nerds is also a compelling exploration of the way we all communicate today--and how we got here. Reddit and its users have become a mirror of the Internet: it has dingy corners, shiny memes, malicious trolls, and a sometimes heart-melting ability to connect people across cultures, oceans, and ideological divides.
@lagorio @Inc I'm so excited for this book! I asked Steve whether I was the Donkey or the Puss-in-boots to his Shrek

What the Hell Is Going On in Turkey?
A crisis is unfolding in Turkey after an attempted military coup.

Update, July 16, 2:17 p.m. ET: The death toll by Saturday morning rose to at least 265, with 1,440 people wounded, in the failed military coup in Turkey. The Turkish government has arrested thousands of military personnel thought to be involved.
On Saturday morning, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an again placed blame on his former ally turned long-time rival, Fethullah Gulen, the 75-year-old Muslim cleric now living in the United States, and his loyalists embedded within the Turkish military. "You have engaged in enough treason against this nation," said Erdo?an. "If you dare, come back to your country."
Erdo?an called on the United States to extradite Gulen to Turkey "if the US is a strategic ally."
Gulen denies the accusations. "I condemn, in the strongest terms, the attempted military coup in Turkey," he wrote in a statement following the failed coup. "As someone who suffered under multiple military coups during the past five decades, it is especially insulting to be accused of having any link to such an attempt. I categorically deny such accusations."
Meanwhile, Turkish authorities imposed a security lockdown on Incirlik Air Base in the southern province of Adana. It is home to 80 nuclear weapons and is used by the United States and other coalition nations as a vital launchpad for airstrikes targeting ISIS in Syria. All American military flights in and out of Incirlik have been grounded.
Update, July 15, 11:20 p.m. ET: At least 42 people have died in the attacks on Turkey's capital, including 17 police officers killed in the helicopter attack on the police special forces headquarters, according to local agencies. There are also an unknown number of casualties from clashes in Istanbul.
Update, July 15, 9:30 p.m. ET: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an, in an appearance on NTV from Ataturk airport in Istanbul early on Saturday morning, said that coup plotters loyal to his rival, the controversial Turkish preacher Fethullah Gulen, "will pay a heavy price for their treason." Erdo?an blamed Gulen and his followers for the attempted coup, and added: "The Turkish armed forces must be cleansed. We have called them a terrorist organization, an armed organization, and that has now proven itself and they are using this nation's arms to shoot at this nation." (The Alliance for Shared Values, the group led by Fethullah Gulen, issued a statement condemning "any military intervention in domestic politics of Turkey.")
Update, July 15, 8:31 p.m. ET: A bomb has hit Turkey's parliamentary building, according to the Associated Press. According to an AFP photographer, Turkish military forces opened fire on crowds gathered at the entrance to Istanbul's Bosphorus bridge.
Update, July 15, 7:32 p.m. ET: President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry have come out in support of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an and the "democratically-elected Government of Turkey," urging all parties to "show restraint, and avoid any violence or bloodshed."
Update, July 15, 7:18 p.m. ET: Turkey's state-run Anadolu Agency reported that 17 police officers have been killed in a helicopter attack on the police special forces headquarters on the outskirts of Ankara, according to the Associated Press.
Update, July 15, 6:58 p.m. ET: The leaders of a third opposition party, the left-wing People's Democratic Party, or HDP, have also announced their opposition to the coup. "HDP is under all circumstances and as a matter of principle against all kinds of coups," said the party's co-chairs in a statement. The announcement is significant: The HDP was attacked and repressed by Erdo?an's government after it won 13 percent of the vote in last summer's parliamentary elections and blocked Erdo?an from changing the constitution to give himself more power.
Update, July 15, 6:37 p.m. ET: Supporters of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an have responded to his call for people to gather in the streets to try to block the military's coup attempt. Images and reports from Turkey show crowds gathering in public spaces like Istanbul's Taksim Square and chanting against the military.

Turkey's Hürriyet Daily News also reported that two parties, the right-wing Nationalist Movement Party and the secularist Republican People's Party, expressed their opposition to the coup.
Update, July 15, 5:30 p.m. ET: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an made a statement on Turkish TV stations urging supporters of him and his Freedom and Justice Party, known as the AKP, to take to the streets and gather at airports to resist the military coup. "I am commander in chief in this country," he said. "Those who attempted a coup will pay the highest price." In a surreal moment, Erdo?an delivered his speech via video chat, with TV anchors holding their phones up to the camera to broadcast his message.
The Turkish military announced on Friday that it has taken over the country from Turkey's civilian leadership. "To regain our constitutional, democratic, and human rights, we are now officially controlling the country," the military announced on Turkish television.
It's still unclear the military's commanders authorized the coup or if the attempt was made by a smaller faction of the military. Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim, speaking on Turkey's NTV station, had said earlier on Friday afternoon that at least some Turkish military units were attempting a coup against the country's civilian leadership, but insisted it was a "a group within the military" and downplayed the presence of soldiers in the streets of Istanbul.
Just minutes later, the military took over the airwaves, shutting down state broadcaster TRT and making its announcement. Several outlets also reported that the military has closed Istanbul's Atatürk airport, with no flights currently leaving. Later, after the military's takeover, Reuters reported that the "statement made on behalf of armed forces was not authorized by military command."

Modern Turkey has a long history of military coups dating back to 1960. The Turkish military has typically acted as a guardian of the secular vision espoused by the country's founder, Kemal Atatürk, and stepped in when it believed civilian governments were violating those principles. But under Prime Minister and now-President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an, religion has played a much larger role in Turkish public life and there had not been a coup attempt since 1997. Erdo?an has also attempted to consolidate power, cracking down heavily on journalists and protest movement while attempting to change the constitution to give his office more power. Erdo?an was reportedly on vacation when the coup attempt began.
Images and videos of Turkish military units in Istanbul blocking bridges to the city's Asian side and apparently telling motorists to return to their homes began appearing on social media around 3:30 p.m. Eastern time on Friday.

While there was at first confusion about whether the military presence was due to a terror alert or some other event, Yildirim said military units had attempted an uprising and would "pay the highest price."

Quranic Reflection No 568. Āyat 39:69 – Glowing of the Earth
Imam Muhammad Al-Bāqir (a) was asked about the greatness of the night of 15th of Sha'bān. He replied: It is the best night after Laylatul Qadr. In it, Allah grants the servants with His Grace, and forgives them through His favor. So, strive to achieve closeness to Allah in it, for it is the night in which Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, has obligated on Himself not to turn away a beseecher so long as he does not ask for anything sinful. It is a night which Allah has made [it a blessing] for us the Ahlul Bayt (a) just as He made Laylatul Qadr for our Prophet, blessing of Allah be on him and his family. So, strive in it with supplications and praise of Allah, the Exalted…"
(Al-Tūsī, Misbāh al-Mutahajjid, v. 2, p. 831; Ibn Tāwūs, Iqbāl al-A'māl, p. 695)
وَأَشْرَقَتِ الْأَرْضُ بِنُورِ رَبِّهَا
Wa-ashraqatil-ardhu binūri rabbihā
The earth will glow with the light of its Lord.
(Sūrat al-Zumar, No 39, Āyat 69)
This verse discusses the Day of Judgement and talks about a few different qualities of that day. One of them will be that the earth will glow with the light of its Lord. This glow has been interpreted in different ways by the Mufassirūn:
The light of the Lord that will make the earth glow is the truth and justice that will be established. Allāmah Majlisi explains that the glow of the earth is from the justice of Allah 'azza wajall, for the earth lights up when justice is established (Bihārul Anwār, v.6, p. 322). Others have also used the Hadith of the Prophet (s) which says: Injustice is darkness on the Day of Judgment – to conclude that justice will be light.
Some believe that it refers to a light other than that of the sun or moon that Allah will create for that day.
According to Tafsīr al-Mīzān the light and glow are the effect of the removal of the veil from the eyes of human beings. It will be a time when the inner realities of things will be understood, and truth and falsehood will be very clear. He quotes the verse: We have removed your veil from you, and so today your eyesight is sharp (Q 50:22).
Narrations from the Ahlul Bayt 'alayhimus-salām have linked this verse to the rise of the al-Qaim 'ajjallāhu farjah. Although it is about the Day of Judgment, it is used as a simile to depict the state of the earth after the arrival of Imam Al-Mahdī (af). The condition on earth will be a prelude to how things will be on the Day of Judgment. Truth and Justice will be established on the earth, and it will glow through it. Imam Ja'far al-Sādiq (a) says: When our Qaim rises, the earth will glow with the light of its Lord, and the servants of Allah will not need the light of the sun, and darkness will disappear (Bihār, v. 52, p. 330).
The Prophet sallal-lāhu 'alayhi wa-ālihi wasallam also used this verse when he talked about the successors after him. He said: My deputies and successors, the Proofs of Allah on earth after me, are twelve. The first of them is my brother and the last of them is my son. He was asked, who is your brother? He said, Ali Ibn Abi Talib. They asked: Who is your son [in this hadith]? He said: Al-Mahdī, who will fill it with fairness and justice after it was filled with tyranny and injustice. By the One who raised me with the truth, even if only one day remained of this world, Allah will lengthen that day until my son Al-Mahdī will appear. And 'Isā son of Maryam, Rūhullāh, will come down. He will pray behind him, and the earth will glow with the light of its Lord, and His authority will spread in the East and the West (Bihār, v. 51, p.72).
As we celebrate the birth of Imam Al-Mahdī (a) let this verse remind us of how the Imam will change the state of the earth. Present day leaders through their greed and self interest have filled it with chaos. There is a lot of suffering in the world and leadership is unable, or unwilling, to help the people. It is only when the world will have a Divine leader sent by God to implement His rules who is selfless and righteous that true peace and justice will prevail in the world. Then the earth will glow with the light of its Lord. May we be among those who witness that blessed time and participate in it.

Children of Bodom's Alexi Laiho on Watershed Record 'Hate Crew Deathroll': 'We Nailed It'

Finnish metal band Children of Bodom embarked on the 20 Years Down N' Dirty North America Tour on Oct. 31 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of its debut album, Something Wild. The group — which took its name from the 1960 unsolved murders of three teens who were killed while camping at Lake Bodom in Espoo, Finland — is paying homage to Something Wild by playing obscure tracks from the set, as well as rarities from its subsequent albums Hatebreeder, Follow the Reaper and Hate Crew Deathroll. It was the latter album that pushed the group into the mainstream in 2003, due to its positive critical reception, and enabled COB to finally tour the United States.
"After all those years, we got to tour in the States for the first time," recalls singer-guitarist Alexi Laiho of the doors that Hate Crew Deathroll opened. "We were young, and we were fucking crazy. Every single day we had a blast on the stage, and after the show, it was a fucking mad party."
He fondly recalls how, when hanging with contemporaries like Dimmu Borgir and Nevermore, "it [was] like, if you don't keep up with those guys, you're not fucking rock 'n' roll enough. We didn't have that problem. We were fucking pros already. I remember Nevermore — those fucking guys, holy shit. The way they were drinking vodka, even we were freaked out."
Laiho has since tempered his alcohol consumption, especially while touring — "I don't drink on the road anymore because the hangovers are so fucking horrible that I don't want to feel like a fucking roadkill on the stage the day after." But his appreciation for what the band achieved with Hate Crew Deathroll remains undiminished, and Laiho reflects on that album as well as the rest of their discography with Billboard.
I was reading, and I don't know if this is accurate, that you had some misgivings, shall we say, about the first album.
I wouldn't say misgivings, but when you think about it, it's the first album, and it's far from perfect. But the more I listen to it now — because I had to learn a couple of things here and there — the more I actually like that we were not striving for perfection or any of that. It was just pure teenage fuckin' rage and rebellion. Things like production, they were completely secondary facts. I kind of dig that. Also, song-wise, it's very, I don't know. I guess "juvenile" would be the word. I have improved as a songwriter. I would put 10 different riffs in one song, but they don't really go together … It was more about showing off and being pissed off.
What were some of your influences at the time? On the band's Skeletons in the Closet compilation and some of your B-sides, you draw from a really eclectic musical background. Did you have older siblings who turned you on to some music when you were growing up?
My older sister, she introduced me to hard-rock '80s stuff, so I grew up with bands like Motley Crue, WASP, Twisted Sister, and then later on, Guns N' Roses, Skid Row. She would play the cassette for me, and I was like, 'Holy fuck, this is awesome.' The more she grew up, she got more into extreme stuff, and then all of a sudden, there's Metallica, there's Sepultura, there's Slayer. Then I'm like, 'Holy fuck.' Then she bumps it up to death metal, and then it's black metal.
But the thing is, I never really abandoned any of my first influences or the first bands that I dug. That's one thing about Children of Bodom's music: You can hear a lot. For example, in the guitar riffs, there's an '80s vibe to them. And the keyboard sounds, there's a lot of '80s disco vibe going on in there. It's a weird mix, but somehow I guess we made it work.
Guns N' Roses Announce Summer 2018 European Tour Dates
Would you say the album after that, Hatebreeder, was the first one that got people paying more attention to the band?
Yeah, I would say that less than a year-and-a-half between Something Wild and Hatebreeder, the band had taken such a huge leap forward, as far as everything. That's when we started touring and playing live, and all of us, we were practicing like madmen. It was fuckin' insane, dude. Every single day, we would practice as a band for hours and hours. And before and after, I would practice my own instrument. Our drummer, he would do the same thing. So Hatebreeder was obviously [better-played], and production-wise, it was a whole different band.
Also, the songs, they had started making more sense. There was some sort of verse-chorus loop going on. Even though it was pretty progressive, but it wasn't like one riff after another. The songs were actually a lot better, too.
Did you categorize the band's music as death metal? Have you moved beyond that category?
I never even tried, dude. It's just impossible. To me, it's just metal. I just call it metal and that's it. But some people call it black metal, some people call it death metal, some say it's thrash, God knows what. There are millions of sub-categories and shit, and I'm not really that keen on labels. So you can call it whatever you want.
What can you share about your third studio album, Follow the Reaper?
We recorded that in Sweden, with Peter Tägtgren from Hypocrisy. And I think now, when I look back, maybe the songs, songwriting-wise, they had improved a lot. I do remember a lot of people were upset about the fact that the whole classical music vibe had been dialed back a lot. But a lot of people didn't mind. I think it had a more rock'n'roll vibe in it. It was the first time we had kind of a slow song on the record, which was "Everytime I Die." and that was one of those songs we still play live.
How do you view the self-referential nature of singing about Lake Bodom or Children of Bodom, invoking it in your lyrics?
It just accidentally became a routine — well, not a routine, but more like a tradition. On the first album, we had "Lake Bodom," and then I figured, "OK, we're going to use the Reaper on the cover." Originally, that wasn't planned. It just sort of happened. And then I made a promise to myself that on every single record, there was going to be at least one Bodom-related song. The cool thing about that is that since it is an unsolved crime, you can pretty much write anything you want about it. But they're more harsh to write. It's sort of like B horror movie style. So it's like they're half-comedy and half-horror.
Metallica Playing Hometown Benefit Show for Victims of California Wildfires
That brings us to Hate Crew Deathroll. What did that album do for you?
That was the album where we'd finally found our own path and our own style. Because up until then, we were kind of like going here and there. Sort of looking for what we're all about. And I think on Hate Crew, we had finally captured it … That's definitely one of not only the most important albums for Children of Bodom, but definitely one of the best. For a lot of people, it's their favorite record of Children of Bodom — and I don't blame them. I don't mean to toot my own horn, but it is pretty fucking badass. When I look back and I listen to it, I'm like, "Shit, man. We nailed it."
You have an eclectic body of cover songs. I think the first one I ever heard was the Britney Spears cover, "Ooops!… I Did It Again." Have you ever gotten feedback from artists that you've covered?
Britney, no, unfortunately. I've always wanted her to hear it. I would just love to see her face. No, that hasn't happened yet. Through the grapevine, I did hear that Pat Benatar's guitar player, Neil Giraldo, heard the cover we did, "Hell Is for Children," and that he dug it or something. But it might just be a rumor. Same thing with Johnny Ramone. I heard that he heard the cover we did of "Somebody Put Something in My Drink" and he thought it was cool. But none of this was directly from the people, so it could be bullshit. But I choose to believe it because it makes me happy.

Hallmark Channel & PEDIGREE Foundation Team Up for Televised Benefit Concert
Hallmark Channel & PEDIGREE Foundation…
Country artists Lee Brice, Hunter Hayes & Easton Corbin unite for The Love of Dogs Benefit Concert at CMA Theater on October 10
Hallmark Channel and PEDIGREE Foundation

"Our mission is to support shelters and rescue organizations across the nation – including those in your backyard – to make it a little easier for them to help these dogs find loving homes."

About the Talent
When Lee Brice isn't selling out arenas, writing and recording songs, or building new brands like American Born whiskey, you'll find the family man with his wife Sara, two young boys, and baby girl. Meanwhile, with more than 14 million in RIAA-certified sales and streams, and nearing three billion spins on Pandora, Brice continues to enjoy massive success at country radio, digital streaming services, and on the road. One of the most-played country artists of all time on Pandora, he was inducted into the company's "Billionaires Club" on June 8, 2018, becoming only the second country artist behind Keith Urban to receive the Pandora Billionaire plaque.
Lee is also a GRAMMY nominee, a CMA nominee and a double ACM award winner, and he's taken six radio singles to Number One: "A Woman Like You," "Hard To Love," "I Drive Your Truck," "I Don't Dance," "Drinking Class," and "Rumor." Garth Brooks, Jason Aldean, Kenny Chesney and others have recorded his songs, and he's performed on numerous TV shows, including NBC's Today, ABC's The Bachelor, NBC's The Voice, FOX's Miss USA 2018 and PBS's A Capitol Fourth. Lee's "Rumor" is the current single from his fourth studio album, Lee Brice, released November 3, 2017 on Curb Records.
This Louisiana native has achieved over 1.5 billion on-demand career streams globally and three chart-topping singles, including his 5x multi-Platinum crossover single "Wanted," which received a GRAMMY© nomination for Best Country Solo Performance. The massive crossover hit, featured on his 2x multi-Platinum debut album Hunter Hayes, is well beyond 120 million streams on Spotify alone and became his first No. 1 single on the Country Airplay charts; solidifying him as the youngest solo male artist to top Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart in over 40 years. The self-titled debut has accumulated over half a billion on-demand streams in the U.S. alone and also includes the Platinum-certified No. 1 "Somebody's Heartbreak," the 2x multi-Platinum "I Want Crazy" and the Gold-certified singles "Everybody's Got Somebody But Me" and "Storm Warning." In 2018, Hayes also released the unflinchingly honest and introspective song "Dear God," which has amassed over 25 million streams globally. With Rolling Stone calling it an "anthem for the anxious," Taste of Country also declared: "leave it to Hunter Hayes to release a song that speaks the truth." 2019 marks the release of his latest single "Heartbreak" and his Closer To You 20-date headlining tour, which wrapped this past spring.
With two No. 1 singles, four Top 5 singles, multiple awards and nominations, performances on some of the biggest stages in the world, and a spot on one of the biggest tours in country music, Carrie Underwood's 2016 The Storyteller Tour, Easton Corbin has made a lasting impression on the country music landscape. He is lauded for his traditional country sound, authentic lyrics and mastery of understatement. Easton is known for his signature hits including "A Little More Country Than That," "Roll With It," "Lovin' You Is Fun," and "Baby Be My Love Song" from his No. 1 debuting album About To Get Real, and his emotional "Are You With Me" was the most added song at radio the day it was released. Corbin's latest Top 5 single "A Girl Like You" garnered rave reviews. Taste of Country picked it as a Critics Pick saying, "It takes a fraction of a second to know Easton Corbin is on to something different with 'A Girl Like You.'" Corbin is currently in the studio finishing new music for his fourth studio album.

A written request from the parent/guardian is required for a student to drive a vehicle to school. The framework for which a student may use a vehicle at St Paul's is outlined below. St Paul's would appreciate the support of parents/guardians in the implementation of and adherence to these regulations. Areas of particular concern are the carrying of passengers, the use of vehicles during the school day and the peer pressure to which student drivers are sometimes subjected.
Where the student has the intention to provide transport for another student to and from school, written permission must be received from both sets of parents.
This formal request should be accompanied with the completed Driving permit application form. Permit requests should be made by the end of the first week at school.
Permits are only issued to Year 12 and 13 students. However, permits can be obtained by a Year 11 student if they live more than 6km from the school or their activities require them to return to school in the evenings on a regular basis. Where vehicle parking spaces available limits the number of permits issued, preference will be given to those living furthest from the school.
Driving permits must be clearly displayed in the motor vehicle window at all times while parked in school grounds.
Infringements of the below rules may mean suspension or cancellation of a student's school driving permit.
11. Driving permits must be clearly displayed in the motor vehicle window at all times while parked in school grounds.

Fairly typical week in health news: Mammograms.
The big story is that the American Cancer Society issued an updated guideline recommending that women undergo mammography less frequently than before.
Those in the "putting scientific evidence in the forefront" camp are actually somewhat pleased that the ACS is finally "moving in the right direction," but displeased that the society didn't get all the way to the vicinity of, for example, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, which has the most heavily-weighted (and least stringent) screening mammography recommendations: for women at average risk (i.e. those that don't have a mother or sister with breast cancer), start breast cancer screening at age 50 and get a mammogram every 2 years until age 74.
The new ACS guideline: start screening at age 45 (well, 40 if you want to) and have mammograms annually until age 55, at which point you can go to every other year.
If a woman at average risk for breast cancer follows the USPSTF guideline to the letter (and is lucky enough to avoid a "call-back," i.e. further looks for a possible abnormality), she'd have 13 mammograms over 25 years. If she follows the new ACS guidelines to the letter, she'd have 20 mammograms, possibly more. Of course, every mammogram not only increases the cumulative total of lifetime radiation exposure, it increases the odds that an abnormality will be found and a call-back will be issued.
The best analysis regarding the new ACS recommendation (and actually, 1 of the best pieces about the whole breast cancer screening issue in general) is from FiveThirtyEight's lead science writer, Christie Aschwanden, whose piece is titled, "Science Won't Settle the Mammogram Debate." Aschwanden correctly points out the "right thing" depends on you, the patient, and your values. There is no right answer.
For some, not getting mammograms annually (or even at all) is the right choice. For the rest, following the "rules" such as they are provides the best piece of mind.
Here's the thing: because choosing to have mammograms or not is a personal decision, we should refrain from blaming people who choose 1 way or the other. People have their reasons. As with many social and medical issues, the personal has become very political, because people's beliefs are strongly held. Ultimately, a lot of economics is impacted by the politics here. Pro-screening partisans are always uneasy when edicts cutting back on screening are issued, because the fear is that the health care "establishment" (i.e. insurance companies) will stop covering the tests.
That's simply not going to happen with mammography.
If we strip the emotion out of the issue and just try to stick to facts, what, at heart, is undergoing a mammogram like?
The video below comes from the UK's Cancer Institute. It's just more than a minute, and is very matter-of-fact. It shows an actual woman undergoing an actual mammogram, and thus includes bare breasts.

Q: devenv always rebuilds my project, because a typescript file is newer than a pdb file I have a project with typescripts. devenv constantly rebuilding this project. Diagnostics output contains this line:
Project 'Benefits' is not up to date. Input file 'C:\abc\UI\BenefitsWeb\Scripts\Benefits\Modules\PPACA\ApprovalScreen.ts' is modified after output file 'C:\abc\UI\BenefitsWeb\bin\Dayforce.Web.Benefits.pdb'.

So, how do I resolve this issue? The aforementioned typescript file is truly newer than the PDB. But the PDB is not the output of the typescript compilation !!!
Here is how I compile my typescript files:
<PropertyGroup>
  <CompileDependsOn>
    $(CompileDependsOn);
    CompileTypeScript
  </CompileDependsOn>
</PropertyGroup>

<Target Name="GetInputs">
  ...
</Target>

<Target Name="GetOutputs">
  ...
</Target>

<Target Name="CompileTypeScript" DependsOnTargets="GetInputs;GetOutputs" Inputs="@(InputTypeScripts)" Outputs="@(OutputJavaScripts)">
  ...
</Target>

The project specifies the typescript files in the TypeScriptCompile item group, for instance:
<TypeScriptCompile Include="Scripts\Benefits\Modules\PPACA\CalendarSetup.ts" />

Of course, @(OutputJavaScripts) lists the expected .js files only. No PDB files there.
So how come devenv matches a typescript file with a PDB file? How do I fix it?
EDIT 1
I would like to clarify. It does not actually recompile the typescript or C# files (well for the first time it does recompile the typescript files, but only that). It starts the build, because typescript is newer than a PDB, but then it recognizes that no PDB dependency has actually changed. The same is true for the javascript files - they are all up-to-date. So nothing is actually rebuilt, but why to enter the build sequence in the first place!

A: I had a similar issue but with a txt file instead of a typescript file. I opened up the csproj file, found the section that declared the text files, and moved it above a section where it was declaring some project references. Basically, above any binary-type files. After reloading the project, MSBuild wouldn't build it unless a file in it had actually changed.

A: I had a similar issue with a js file. Setting its Build Action to None, recompile, then back to Content, recompile solved the issue.

Two landlords have been fined thousands of pounds after failing to carry out improvements to unfit rental properties.
Adur District Council took action on the owners of properties in Lancing and Southwick and, after appeals from both were rejected, the Civil Penalty Notices (CPN) have now been upheld.
Robert Cook was originally served with a CPN after failing to comply with an improvement notice from Adur District Council's Private Sector Housing team on a property in Ingleside Crescent, Lancing. The property, which was rented out to private tenants, had been poorly converted from a garage and had serious fire safety and heating issues.
He appealed the CPN but it was upheld by the First-tier Tribunal in Havant Justice Centre and Cook was told to pay the Council £15,000.
Mr Cook had also been served with demolition orders on two structures, including a summer house, in the garden of the property. After refusing to take down the structures, the Council obtained a warrant and carried out the work which will also be charged to the landlord.
Dennis Clark, owner of a property in Cross Road, Southwick, also lost his appeal against a fine of £9,350. He was served with a CPN after failing to carry out improvements to the property which included fire safety measures and works to complete a shared kitchen.
Formally a care home, the property had been let out by Clark as a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO).

Is Trump a fascist?
Matt Kelly
Is Donald Trump a facist? | The New European
The New European says: Don't listen to what Trump says. Look at what he does.
Page 3 of The New European issue 31
Six months ago, a Vancouver-based collective of artists called Adbusters (www.adbusters.org), published a photograph of Donald Trump with a barcode across his upper lip making him look, at first glance, a little like Hitler.
Back then, most people laughed at the notion Donald Trump might actually have fascist tendencies. We're not laughing
now.
Our front page today, in homage to that original artwork, reflects a very real and growing concern that the President of the United States is acting in a way that threatens some of the fundamental assumptions we make about life in a free and open democracy.
Don't listen to what he says, his apologists said when Trump was elected. Look at what he does.
What Trump said in campaigning was awful. What he is doing in office is worse.
In the few weeks since he was elected Trump has openly attacked mainstream media as liars (frequently presenting clear lies to support this), has incited citizens against judges who do not agree with him, and has targeted minorities both at home and abroad.
Don't listen to what he says. Look at what he does.
When the officials who talk for him have such open disregard for facts that they challenge the very concept of truth, and conduct open war with a free Press established by Constitution – that is a fascist act.
When he uses lies and slogans to spread his propaganda direct to the masses, peddling them a narrative that they are a nation that teeters on the edge of disaster because of forces arrayed against them, that is a fascist act.
When he tells citizens to blame judges if bad things happens, when he lies that there is a media conspiracy to conceal news of terror attacks, when he tells America that Europe is engulfed in terror, these are the tactics of fascism.
When he brings into his inner sanctum a man, Steve Bannon (see our profile on page 12) who believes in the coming of a "cleansing war", who ran a far-right website that openly attacks minorities, and who has been publicly-labelled a white supremacist by respected politicians, that is the company of fascists.
When he talks of a total shut-down of Muslims entering the US then delivers on that threat with a ban of seven nations, but excludes ones he does business with, that's a fascist act.
When he sets about building a wall across a border. Bullies nations with economic threats. Openly agitates about the economic stability of other nations. Keeps a book of Adolf Hitler's speeches next to his bed. These are the acts of a fascist.
These are not acts to be shrugged off with a casual "ah well, that's The Donald! That's just how he rolls!"
These acts have profound and lasting consequences, do damage, hurt real people, throw us backwards as a people.
This week John Bercow, Speaker of the House of Commons, spoke not just for many MPs, but for many millions more people in this country who are absolutely revolted by the idea of our craven and desperate rush to suck-up to this President.
Bercow has been criticised for overstepping the mark. We applaud him.
He may well enjoy the limelight (and, by the way, the Commons would be blowing through with tumbleweed if that was a disbarring characteristic for an MP) but Bercow has a moral compass and he's not afraid to use it (see Tim Farron's article, page 8). If only more of those Labour MPs, so quick to cheer the Speaker over Trump, would show a fraction of Bercow's backbone and bite over Brexit!
The other criticism thrown this week at Bercow is one of hypocrisy – that he has been happy enough for other dodgy leaders to come to Westminster Hall and address both Houses.
There is a world a difference between engaging with someone like Xi Jinping of China, a country walking (however slowly) towards a better social reality, and a leader like Trump, who threatens to take perhaps the world's greatest democracy and debase it.
Faced with a man who attacks minorities; attacks judges; abuses the free press, subverts public opinion with lies; a man comfortable in the company of racists, liars and bigots, we believe John Bercow did the decent thing.
Until Trump stops talking like a fascist, until he stops tweeting like a fascist, until he stops acting like a fascist, many people are not going to stop wondering if Trump is not, in actual fact, a fascist.
Matt Kelly, editor
