← GDPR in the Insurance Sector – what has changed?
An issue that should be considered by the parties in all property transactions is the impact of any capital allowances, which can be claimed over expenditure on "plant and machinery" in a property as a means of saving tax. Although a pension scheme is a non-tax-paying entity, enquiries should still be made into potential capital allowances claims whether the pension scheme is acquiring or disposing of a property.
The main reason that the issue of capital allowances could still be relevant for a pension scheme is that although it is unable to claim and benefit from the allowances directly itself, any allowances can be passed to a future purchaser of the property and therefore ultimately help to increase its value for prospective purchasers.
Where a pension scheme is acquiring a property (from a tax-paying seller), enquiries should be made with the seller as to whether any expenditure on plant and machinery has been pooled for capital allowances purposes and, if so, request full details of the expenditure. The parties will then need to agree an apportionment from the purchase price setting out the amount that the pension scheme (as buyer) has paid for the plant and machinery, which will be the amount on which the buyer will be entitled to claim allowances. The higher the amount that is agreed, the greater the allowances that can be claimed by the buyer although ultimately this will be a matter of negotiation between the parties. Once agreed, the apportionment is most often recorded by the parties in a "section 198 election" to be submitted by both parties to HMRC within two years of completion of the property purchase.
Where a pension scheme is selling a property, at the outset information should be obtained of any expenditure pooled for capital allowances purposes by a previous (tax-paying) owner and any section 198 elections entered into when the pension scheme purchased the property. If there is expenditure that has been pooled, this should be set out in any sales brochures when marketing the property in order to notify prospective purchasers of the potential tax-savings they could benefit from. Once a buyer has been found, the capital allowances position should be set out in the contract.
If you would like further information or advice on the impact of capital allowances in property transactions involving pension schemes, please contact either Adam Bromley or Mohassan Mehmood in the Commercial Property team at Forbes.

and am the band leader at my local church.
sharing my love and knowledge of music with my piano students.
lives that include worship beyond a Sunday morning experience.
I'm looking forward to exploring music and worship with you!
there is a purpose for everything in life, from the beginning of life through death. Happiness, joy, laughter, tears, sorrow. Every individual experiences each of these emotions, these different seasons. And for every life, God has an appointed season for beauty.
Invited to dinner with God.
I love a good party — especially hosting a good party.
Over this past Thanksgiving holiday, I hosted a few friends at my piano studio for my first-ever Friendsgiving dinner and it was an ab.so.lute.blast! Hilariously enough, the highlight of the menu ended up being this perfect, smoky gouda cheese served with apples and salted rosemary crackers — and we still talk about that gouda!
Yet while I love hosting a great dinner party, there's also something really special about being on the receiving end of the invitation. On the other hand, there has to be some kind of a relationship or desire for a relationship between the host and the guest for a dinner invitation to be extended.
What it means to be known & chosen by God.
Do you ever feel the need to be chosen?
Not necessarily for what you do, what you can do, what your job description is, what your social media following looks like, what your pedigree is, or what your experience is — but simply for who you are.
We want to be known for who we are, we desire to be chosen for who we are. But what we must understand, remember, and live for is the fact that we are known by the one who holds all power in heaven and earth; we are chosen by the one who is higher than all other things, principalities, powers, and humans.
Does worship dictate how you live your life?
I used to think that there would be this magical point of arrival in life where I would be satisfied with who I was and what I had accomplished — the point of geographical arrival, the point of best-musician-award arrival, the moment of entrepreneurial arrival, et cetera et cetera et cetera.
I've discovered that through all of my planning and preparing for the next right thing, the next big thing, the next thing on my to-do list, the next "I-want-to-arrive-here-moment" — that is when the real moments of life happen. Life doesn't stop because I'm planning for certain moments. Life IS what happens as plans are made for the big, shiny, sparkly, glam, perfectly Instagramable moments.
And I think that worship is really similar to that concept.
3 things every worship leader needs to know about worship.
As worship leaders and church musicians, it's often easy to get distracted by the list of duties we have on a weekly basis in order to make our services run smoothly. We have our personal practice time before group rehearsals, plus the added time of those rehearsals, the actual services themselves — plus, of course, the aspects of the real world and our very real-life schedule with all of its demands.
We respect your privacy and will not share or sell your information with any third parties.

Q: Abstracting resource name from Rails 3 controller I have a bunch of resources that all have the same route, called synced_index. The only difference between the route in different resources is it has a different model name. For example:
# Page controller
def synced_index
  render :json => Page.my_func
end

# Comment controller
def synced_index
  render :json => Comment.my_func
end

This is a simplified example, but I basically want to abstract this into either a module or a Controller class to inherit from. So I can simply put:
include SyncableResource

In my controller class. My problem is determining the resource name. What's the best/most reliable way to do this? Right now I have:
self.class.to_s.delete('Controller').singularize.constantize

It feels a bit hacky to me though.

A: This should do the job:
controller_name.classify

depending on the need, you can add .constantize after it

A: It depends on the complexity of your app and the classes/namespaces you use. You can take a look at the gem inherited_resources that the do something like that https://github.com/josevalim/inherited_resources/blob/master/lib/inherited_resources/class_methods.rb#L312

A growing body of science seems to indicate that not only is there such a thing as too much protein, but that the health effects are showing up everywhere - from cancer to heart disease to diabetes to obesity and much more.
Proteins are the building blocks of life. They're important for building muscle, helping our body repair injuries, and for basic functioning of our organs. But is there such a thing as eating too much protein?
A growing body of science seems to indicate that not only is there such a thing as too much protein, but that the health effects are showing up everywhere – from cancer to heart disease to diabetes to obesity and much more.
Dr. T. Colin Campbell is author of The China Study, a book covering 30 years of research conducted with well over a million people. Dr. Campbell recently spoke to a packed house as guest speaker of the Vegetarian Society of Hawaii's monthly lecture. He spoke quite a bit about why the United States spends so much on health care (more than any other nation on a per capita basis), uses so many pharmaceutical drugs (about double most other developed nations, per capita), and yet has so many chronic health problems. The answer was quite clearly that we simply don't understand nutrition.
As part of his talk, Dr. Campbell suggested that the scientific evidence is abundantly clear that we are eating too much protein, and that, in general, "Protein consumption is overemphasized," he said.
Ever look at a nutrition label and see that the granola bar you're eating has 12% of your daily recommended daily allowance (RDA) for sodium? Food labels are required to show your RDA for sodium, calcium, Vitamin A….a whole slew of nutrients. But not for protein. So, how can we know whether we are eating too much or just enough?
Add to that bizarrely written information even on government webpages like the Centers for Disease Control, which states that we need anywhere from 10-35% of our calories from protein. Given that that could mean anywhere from 200 protein calories to 700, that's a really wide range. Especially considering how incredibly specific they are about other nutrients.
What's wrong with too much protein?
A growing body of evidence is clearly showing that diets that consistently contain too much protein are bad for our bodies in many ways, and lead to many diseases.
And that means fewer antioxidants (only in plants), fewer complex carbs (only in plants), and fewer vitamins (virtually none in animal products). When we eat too much protein, there is less room in our diets for other foods. We can only eat so much food.
Campbell showed a slide comparing animal and plant proteins and their effects on cholesterol levels. With not a single exception, all animal proteins were on one side of the graph (the side that had a bad effect on your cholesterol), and without a single exception, all vegetable proteins were on the other side of the graph.
"And this study was from 1926!" he exclaimed. He suggested that this research on the effects of too much protein, and much other research like it, has been ignored. Doctors, instead, are taught to tell people to cut their fat intake, "which is a mixed bag at best," Campbell said.

So, why did they bother to advertise on the dailies?
Some of the forms available in the market quoted their premium wrongly. They actually referred to those forms (with wrong information) while they mentioned they wouldn't be liable for them. As long as all the required information is recorded correctly in an application, they would accept the application, they said.
So, dear investors, go ahead and keep using forms generated by bdipo or any other forms you like. Just make sure information is recorded correctly.

Incinerator in Beirut, Lebanon
Greenpeace demonstration at Karantina incinerator. Lebanon.
Since the Waste Crisis of July 2015, the Lebanese government has been unable to find a sustainable solution to treat the country's waste. The latest solution being incinerators, a decisions environmental activists oppose.
Since August 2015, Lebanon has been facing a continuous waste management crisis. In a bid to solve this problem, the Municipality of Beirut has put forward a plan to construct a waste incinerator (waste-to-energy plant). On October 10, 2016 a conference was held along with the head of the municipality of Copenhagen in a bid to share experience in the waste management sector, and in which the Municipality's plan to launch a tender to convert waste into energy was presented. [1][2][3]
On April 6, 2017, the Beirut Municipality launched a tender for waste collection and the establishment of the necessary infrastructure for waste separation while firms interested in investing in the incinerator were expected to apply by the 2nd of May. [1]
This raised the fears of the residents of Karantina, and industrial neighborhood of the capital, where an incinerator was first proposed and protested in 1997. They held a protest along with political representatives on August 30, 2017 to affirm their opposition to a waste-to-energy project promoted by the municipality, which they say is no different from an incinerator and therefore poses a health hazard. Residents of Karantina – an area where the air is already polluted by the two open-air dumps nearby – oppose the proposal in fear the incineration of waste will result in even greater damage to the environment. [4][5]
Among the concerns raised by the project's opponents are the environmental risks implicated by ash byproducts from the combustion, which require appropriate treatment, as well as the goal of the project. They argue that plants like these produce heat and, to a lesser extent, energy, which is of no use in Lebanon since the country doesn't have a cold climate. [5]
A group of academics at the American University of Beirut, united in the Collaborative for the Study of Inhaled and Atmospheric Aerosols, held a conference in presenting scientific evidence against the adoption of incinerators. [6]
The president of the Municipal Council dismissed the resident's concerns, claiming that "the location will be risk-free to the people in the area and all measures will be taken to ensure that it will not bother residents but instead enhance the economy of the area." Local activists in the area voiced suspicions of a possible connection between the choice of Karantina and the presence of Jihad al-Arab's company – Al-Jihad for Commerce and Contracting – among the four joint ventures pre-selected as bidders. JCC has been awarded several public construction projects in the past – some of which have been in or adjacent to Karantina – including the former Normandy dumpsite, the Karantina and Amrousieh waste sorting plants, as well as a storage facility and the Coral composting facility in Burj Hammoud. All of these projects have been subject to public criticism over alleged mismanagement, sparking debate as to whether JCC should be empowered to operate yet another facility. Alongside JCC, the other local pre-qualified contractors include Wassim Ammache's Ramco, Antoine Azour's Batco and Michel Abi Nader's Man. They have each partnered up with international companies – respectively Doosan (Korean), Hitachi (Japanese), and Vinci (French). JCC has partnered with Suez (French) and another international company. [7]
More recently, and after the release of a Human Rights Watch report on burning of wastes in Lebanon, the Waste Management Coalition was created in Lebanon which aims to pressure the government to find sustainable solutions for the still unsolved trash problem. The coalition's main objective is to pressure the authorities responsible for solid waste management in Lebanon to produce and apply a sustainable strategy that relies on integrated solid waste management. The group is demanding that the government implement the reduction of waste generation at the source, the reuse and recycling of waste and finally disposal using the appropriate techniques that comply with national and international environmental regulations. The coalition recently launched a petition to try and pressure the government to properly manage the country's waste and to stay away from incinerators claiming that they do not constitute a reasonable and sustainable solution to manage the country's waste. [8][9][10]
In early 2018, a documentary called "An Incinerator For Beirut? A Documentary" was released, in a bid to make the population well informed about this technology and to be able to form their own opinion about its feasibility in Beirut and its impact on their immediate living environment and health.

Their demands were put froward in a petition, asking the government to:
- Stop the extension of coastal dumps and the pollution of the sea;
- Stop the open burning of waste in Lebanon;
- Refrain from adopting incinerators to dispose of Lebanon's municipal solid waste;
- Adopt an integrated solid waste management strategy taking the different types of waste into consideration and based on the following principles:
Upholding the right of every citizen to a clean and healthy environment.
Protection of the common (public) goods for current and future generations.
The importance of addressing economic and social value in addition to waste management in terms of job creation & income generation.
All citizens contributing to the growing problem and the potential to be a part of the solution.
Primary focus on the promotion and implementation of the 3R principles. (Reduction, Reuse, Recycle)
Awareness and education with a focus on resource reduction & waste-to-resource conversion.
Building upon existing local capacities and experiences.
Strengthening public-private partnership including community-based waste management process.
Putting the necessary policy and institutional framework in place.
Developing a built-in adaptive mechanism for the continuous monitoring and improvement of the system.

Damien Nettles disappeared from Cowes on the Isle of Wight on 2 November 1996 at the age of 16 during a night out with a friend. Nothing has been seen of him since. The investigation into his disappearance has been ongoing ever since, with five men arrested in 2011, although no charges have been brought.

Background
Damien Nettles was born June 21, 1980, to parents Valerie and Edward. He has a sister named Sarah. At the time of his disappearance he was roughly 6' 4" in height. He loved the rock band Nirvana and was often seen wearing his Doc Martens boots.

Disappearance

On the night of his disappearance, Nettles was wearing blue jeans and a black fleece. It was believed that he had not taken a bag of any kind or any personal belongings with him from home. Nettles planned to go to a party with his friend, Chris Boon, who lived in East Cowes, so his father, Ed, gave him a lift there.

The night started with Nettles and Chris attending the party and, after spending some time there, they left to purchase some cider. Nettles was, however, seen leaving the party carrying a black camera, which has never been found. Nettles then journeyed back over to West Cowes via the ferry with Chris. Once back in West Cowes, Nettles entered Yorkies, the High Street fish and chip shop, but left without ordering anything. They then made attempts to get into pubs, but their efforts failed. This caused the two friends to part ways for the night at Northwood Park, with Chris heading home. Nettles then went back to the High Street, purchased chips from Yorkies and was later seen staggering about till just after midnight.

A witness remembers that Nettles was attempting to open the car doors of a blue Ford Fiesta. This person recalls it being somewhere around 23:15 and claims it took place in the Harbour Lights pub car park. After this, another witness placed Nettles at a bus stop near one of The Co-operative Group supermarkets. He entered a bus here, but exited shortly after talking to the driver. It was alleged that he had tried to take the driver's picture with the camera he had on him. He was said to have thanked the driver at the time of exiting the bus. A third witness was waiting in their car for their child to be dropped off by a different bus. Whilst waiting, they claim a person matching Nettles description was eating chips, nestled together with his arms and legs close to his body. The witness then claims the figure approached him, saying "They are watching us", before clearing rain off the car window and walking off towards the High Street.

Investigation
Numerous people who witnessed Nettles on the night of his disappearance alleged he looked as though he could've been heavily drunk and possibly somewhat confused.  Another allegation was made that a drug dealer by the name of Bunny Iles had sold drugs to Nettles.  A previous girlfriend of Nettles, Abbie Scott, revealed she believed there were some aspects of his life he was keeping secret, and went on to say it could have involved drugs, although she wasn't entirely sure. However, it wasn't possible to completely verify all witness statements from the night of Nettles' disappearance, as some of the CCTV footage from the High Street that could've featured him, was claimed to be lost by police.

As of 2011, eight arrests for conspiracy to murder had been made by Hampshire Constabulary. All these people were released and nobody was charged. On 1 November 2011 two arrests were made in Cowes on suspicion of conspiring to murder after the police received information. The suspects were a man, aged 44 and a woman, aged 35. They were both questioned whilst in custody and linked to an address in Marsh Road, Gurnard, Isle of Wight, which was searched by police in the hopes of finding Nettles, or any evidence related to the case. Prior to this, in May 2011, five arrests had been made on suspicion of murder. These included a man from Sandown, Isle of Wight, aged 48, a person from Cowes, aged 45, a person from Newport, Isle of Wight, aged 50, a person from Ryde, aged 37 and a person from Gravesend, Kent, aged 40.  All were released on bail. A sixth arrest was also made in July 2011, a man from East Cowes, aged 38. He was also released. As of 4th October 2013, a £20,000 reward was on offer from Hampshire Constabulary for 6 months. Despite receiving 30 accounts of information during this period, the authorities were still no closer to solving the mystery of Nettles' whereabouts. Regardless of the family's pleas, the reward wasn't extended.

On 25 July 2016, a BBC Three series, Unsolved: The Boy Who Disappeared, was broadcast about the case.

Nettles' family became aware their son may have been captured on CCTV whilst on the High Street in Cowes, so they sought out the owners of the cameras, which belonged to a local organisation. After the authorities were notified, Nettles was pinpointed on the footage. But after it was viewed by Nettles' mother, she informed police the person in the film they believed to be her son, was in fact not him. She did however locate her son on the film, which caught Nettles' last movements, in which he could be seen alone, eating his chips, walking along the empty street just after midnight. This was the last moment on film that Nettles' mother ever saw her son alive. After a period of time, this footage was lost by police. A complaint was made by Nettles' mother to the Independent Police Complaints Commission in 2005 regarding this loss and the way her son's case had been dealt with. She received a response in which she was advised that the incident concerning the officer responsible for the lost tapes had previously been acted upon.

It has been claimed that Nettles' mother has conveyed how disheartened she'd found herself, because of the police's management of the case. Evidence ended up being mislaid, along with records failing to be kept, resulting in any possible progression of the case being hindered. The call log made to police on the night of Nettles' disappearance no longer exists, and the records detailing which officers were on duty that night were lost. However, the case remains open. Other criticisms towards the handling of the investigation include requests made to commence searches both on land and from the air, being rejected, and the error made by police who initially listed Nettles as a missing adult rather than a missing child. Members of the public campaigned by protesting and participating in a march. Their aim was to convince police to dig at Parkhurst Forest and Gurnard, as claims were made that Nettles' remains may be buried there. However, police declined this request, as they believed the claims made to them came from untrustworthy sources.

Theories emerged that Nettles fell into the sea following his night out, but his mother dismisses these assumptions. She is convinced he suffered at the hands of a drugs gang. She revealed that in spite of Cowes's upscale reputation, there are people there associated in supplying others with drugs.

In March 2002, Hampshire Constabulary's major crime department was passed the case, and details of the investigation were entered on to the Holmes computer system. It was at this point that an informant, who in the 1990's was connected to a local drug dealer named Nicky McNamara, alleged he told police what happened to Nettles. In 2010, the informant approached Nettles' mother as he felt no action had been taken regarding his claims. She was told by the informant that McNamara was angered by Nettles whilst they were arguing about drugs, which resulted in McNamara unintentionally giving Nettles a fatal punch. The informant claimed Nettles' body was concealed for three weeks in a drug den, then later buried in Cowes. The police investigated, arranged searches and made arrests after Nettles' mother took the information to them, but they concluded that the informant couldn't be trusted.

Various other rumours have transpired over the years, but the one involving McNamara is one that has persisted. McNamara died in 2002 of a heroin overdose, and it was then that rumours surfaced suggesting he was involved. It was claimed that McNamara made a deathbed confession regarding his involvement in Nettles' disappearance.

In spite of the many investigations conducted, plenty of campaigning, and production of documentaries seeking a resolution, Nettles' whereabouts still remains a mystery.

Q: VB .Remove from String I have to prepare a school project of a Currency Converter in Visual Studio using Basic language.
I get the value of extange from XE website and it returns a string like "1.23454 GBP' So I need to remove most characters and numbers from it to have it as a Decimal, not String anymore so I can times it later in calculation.
I've tried to use .Remove anywhere and place it in textBox or Label but it didn't work.
Public Class receipt
Private Sub receipt_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
    Dim testString As String = "sadasdasd"
    customername.Text = "Name: " + My.Settings.Username
    Label6.Text = "Entered Money: " + My.Settings.inputamount + " " + My.Settings.currency
    Label7.Text = "Converted To: " + My.Settings.outputamount
    Label8.Text = "Charge: 0 (0%)"
    TextBox1.Text = testString.Remove(4, 9)
End Sub

End Class
Screenshot of program running
Can someone help me to get this work?

A: Given your current input of "sadasdasd" and your expected return value then the call to string.Remove should be
TextBox1.Text = testString.Remove(3)

If you look at the MSDN documentation page of string.Remove you could see that the index is zero based so you want to remove anything starting from the fourth character that is at index 3 (keeps 0,1,2, removes from 3)
Also It seems that you think that the Remove second parameter is the end index where the Remove action should stop. But this is wrong, the second parameter is the number of characters to remove so 9 is not correct and probably gives you an ArgumentOutofRange Exception


Ok so we've made xmr-based heating which pays for itself (and even makes a little profit), so naturally I got to thinking how we could improve this further. Enter Crypto-radiator 2.0.
Recently price changes in the GPU market have meant that the apparent "sweet spot" for cost vs efficiency for GPUs has moved somewhat, and currently AMD Radeon RX 580s seem to be where it's at.


Vista Cruise Throttle Locker.........Got this from Fleabay for $33.00 and installed it on my Tiger. Quick/easy install only 15 minutes. After a 15 mile test run it seems to work great. For the price I don't see how you could go wrong.
I remember this same type/design back from the 70s and it worked very well.
Yup, it doesn't get much simpler than this. I thought what the heck, I'll give it a try at that price. I'm glad I did.

Failure to warn actions generally arise in products liability actions against pharmaceutical companies. Failure to warn is when a manufacturer or seller of a product fails to provide the consumer with adequate or sufficient warnings of the potential risk of injury known to result from the use of its product, and that failure results in an injury. In cases against pharmaceutical manufacturers, the failure to include adequate warnings in the labels of drugs and medical devices may render the product defective.
In most jurisdictions, a manufacturer's duty to warn is triggered when the manufacturer knew or should have known of the risk of an injury. A breach of this duty results in liability of the manufacturer for injuries sustained by consumers of its product. In an action against a pharmaceutical manufacturer, the manufacturer has the duty to warn the prescribing physician, and not the patient, of all risks attendant to a pharmaceutical drug or medical device. This is known as the "learned intermediary doctrine." The learned intermediary doctrine provides that a pharmaceutical manufacturer's duty to warn has been fulfilled when it adequately warns the prescribing physicians – the learned intermediary – of the risks and dangers associated with its product. This doctrine is based on the principle that the prescribing physician is the one that interacts and communicates with the patient. Therefore, under the "heeding presumption", which is followed in certain states, the fact finder is allowed to presume that the patient would have heeded to an adequate warning if one had been given by his or her physician and would have avoided injury. Accordingly, if the fact-finder finds that the pharmaceutical manufacturer adequately warned the prescribing doctor of the risks and dangers of its product, the manufacturer's duty is discharged. The learned intermediary doctrine is one of the most important defenses used by manufacturers of medical devices and drugs as it shields them from liability.

Not State's Business To Decide What Tourists Eat & Drink: NITI CEO
At least four states -- Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Kerala and Daman -- have announced plans to bar liquor sales, adding to the list that includes Gujarat, Bihar, Nagaland and Manipur which are already dry

New Delhi, Oct 6 (PTI) With the widening alcohol prohibition threatening to impact the country's tourism industry, NITI Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant today said it is not the states' business to decide what a tourist should eat and drink.
"Indian states can't get into what a tourist want to eat and drink. Just not possible...what he wants to eat and drink is his individual business and not the states' business," he said at India Economic Summit of the World Economic Forum (WEF) here.
He was asked whether states banning beef and alcohol have failed to realise what did Dubai do so brilliantly, as the country needs tourists who should be extended every facility they need.
"I have been a long term believer on couple of things. Tourism is essentially civilisational in character, you can't have garbage and filth and say that we have great heritage sites. So, India must focus on cleanliness. It is number one. Number-2 its about seamless experience," he said.
At least four states -- Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Kerala and Daman -- have announced plans to bar liquor sales, adding to the list that includes Gujarat, Bihar, Nagaland and Manipur which are already dry.
The proponents of prohibition maintain India has highest whiskey sales in the world leading to a plethora of social ills and needs to be checked. Also, they say, drunk driving is a leading cause of road accidents and binge drinking is a big problem in the country.
Asked by the moderator if he has told the political leadership about his views on the impact of this prohibition on tourists, he said: "I have said it all the time that for a tourist...its about creating experiences.
"In the evening he wants to relax and he wants to chill out and therefore you need to create that evening experience for (him) in terms of Indian culture." PTI JD RR ANZ SA

Reggae was born from the newly free country of Jamaica to find it's own music, once the shuffle beated records dissapeared from US radio and production. The island nation had a crew of sound systems specialists that would promote and battle each other in sound clashes to promote the best music to the Dancehall parties. These crews required their own sounds to differentiate themselves.
The lack of new music from the US, meant that the small country of Jamaica had to tap it's own talent pool, and from this beginning came new sounds. Limited acetate pressings of dub music, music without vocals on the record itself, gave room for the selector and the deejay to perform live and to toast other sound systems. These new performances that were recorded with similar rhythms were known as Versions, perhaps the first known place sampling occurred.
The instrumental background with dub began the original music feel, while the deejay's rapping style (with the Selector spinning records), slowly evolved into its own flavours. Deejays have evovled to well known figures today such as Buju Banton, Supercat, BeenieMan & Shabba Ranks, while others such as Bob Marley, Burning Spear, Black Uhuru, The Scientist, and King Tubby progressed deeper into the Dub Soul arena.
(Aside to Stepping Razor: Ska was developed by the sound systems, so Reggae and Ska came from the same source, not from each other)

So long 22! Taylor Swift kicked off 25 with quite the crew. The "Blank Space" singer held a party for her milestone birthday at her Tribeca apartment on Friday, Dec. 12, and everyone from Beyonce and Jay Z to Justin Timberlake and Ansel Elgort attended.
The songstress and guests kicked off the fete following Z100's Jingle Ball. While Swift was busy performing on stage, a source tells Us Weekly there was a booze delivery to her swank NYC home, including Blue Moon and Stella beers. "A bunch of Whole Foods bags and about eight bags of Japanese food," was delivered as well, the insider adds.
The birthday girl, who opted to stay in her performance ensemble (a crop top with matching plaid pants) for the fete also requested a balloon time machine. As if the previous deliveries weren't enough, about "20 boxes of pizza were delivered" as well.
Queen Bey, Jay, Timberlake (sans a pregnant Jessica Biel), Elgort, as well as fellow guests Sam Smith, Karlie Kloss, Kelly Osbourne, 5 Seconds of Summer, HAIM, Selena Gomez, Nick Jonas and Olivia Culpo, Charli XCX, Chrissy Teigen, Shawn Mendes, and Jaime King posed for photos with Swift, whose apartment was adorned with gold and silver balloons.

The New Whitney Opens May 1 – "America Is Hard To See"
April 30, 2015 Artists
The stunning new Whitney Museum opens tomorrow, May 1st, in the Meat Packing District of lower Manhattan and you will be overwhelmed to see the last 115 years or so of artistic expression in America on display for the exhibit "America Is Hard To See". 400 artists of every discipline and many art movements during your life and your great grandparents are here – from film and video to painting and sculpture and new media and photography, from abstract, figurative, text based, landscapes, and our own visual jazz – abstract expressionism – you'll be exhausted when you are through with this show.
You'll also be energized by the sense of sheer possibility presented – and the amount of space and the many outdoor plaza views. This is a new jewel in New York, and you have discovered it.

We don't get a new museum every day, but tomorrow you do, and it is rather spectacular to be privileged this way in this city of constant change. No matter your perspective, you will find the inaugural show to be vast. You are certain to like or disagree or applaud or dish with someone here, and it is all strangely American – Here is just a partial sampling of names showing about 600 works that should whet your appetite; Vito Acconci, Ansel Adams, Diane Arbus, Rory Arcangel, John Baldessari, Mathew Barney, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Louise Bourgeois, Paul Cadmus, Alexander Calder, Chuck Close, Imogen Cunningham, Willem de Kooning, Mark di Suvero, Elsie Driggs, William Eggleston, Anna Gaskell, Milton Glaser, Nan Goldin, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, George Grosz, Keith Haring, Eva Hesse, Edward Hopper, Robert Indiana, Jasper Johns, Donald Judd, Mike Kelley, Jeff Koons, Barbara Kruger, Louise Lawler, Sherrie Levine, Sol LeWitt, Roy Lichtenstein, Rober Mapplethorpe, Gordon Matta-Clark, Paul McCarthy, Joan Mitchell, Donal Moffett, Louise Nevelson, Georgia O'Keefe, Jose Clemente Orozco, Nam June Paik, Jackon Pollock, Richard Prince, Christina Ramberg, Robert Raushenberg, Hans Richter, Mark Rothko, Edward Ruscha, David Salle, Dread Scott, Richard Serra, Cindy Sherman, Lorna Simpson, Kiki Smith, Frank Stella, Hedda Sterne, Alfred Stieglitz, Rirkrit Tiravanjia, Anne Truit, Cy Twombly, Kara Walker, Andy Warhol, Weegee, William Wegman, Gertude Vanderbuilt Whitney, David Wojnarowicz, Francesca Woodman, Andrew Wyeth.

You'll look through that list and want to add some of your own of course, everyone does. Despite the revered Biennial which periodically bowls you over with new talent, some still find that there are not enough of certain social groups represented, and that is probably fair.
We find it somewhat alarming that 50+ years of graffiti and street art is only minimally represented here – especially when it has become one of the hugely praised cultural exports to cities around the world and it is highly collected and ever-more auctioned. Talk about American! New York is considered a birthplace for the urban art scene and we can recommend a short list of these artists who are daily defining a new contemporary art for serious consideration. Yes this show has Haring, Basquiat, Kruger – acknowledged. But a great deal has happened in the last two decades. Maybe now that formally trained artists are frequently killing it on the streets in the 2000s and 2010s we will see more of these names included as part of the American story in the future. In fact, there is no doubt.
Glenn Ligon. Ruckenfigure, 2009 (photo © Jaime Rojo)
The striking new modern home by Renzo Piano is twice the size of the old one and some of the views from the museum of this city that you love may rob your attention briefly from the art displayed inside. The inaugural show up until September is called America is Hard to See, and at $22 a ticket, so is the new Whitney Museum of American Art. That price may not seem like much when you consider it would get you four hours rent in a market rate one-bedroom in this neighborhood. But in a city where workers are fighting for a $15 minimum wage we'd like to see it accessible to more New Yorkers as it is the preeminent institution devoted to the art of the United States. Just had to say it. Hopefully they will find a way to institute frequent "pay what you want" nights, and to be fair, students get in FREE every day.
But this is your museum, and we hope you add your voice to the discussion.
Meanwhile, join us as we say "Welcome to the New Whitney!"

Melbourne Heart FC GM of Football Operations John Didulica has emphasised the importance of signing players of strong character as the club continues its worldwide recruitment campaign.
The Hyundai A-League newcomers have announced five signings to date, including Clint Bolton and Matt Thompson, who recently earned selection to the Qantas Socceroos for its match against Indonesia.
But with the domestic season reaching a crescendo, Heart is set to step up its player search as the club seeks to finalise a portion of its inaugural squad ahead of pre-season training in late April.
Heart has established a number of key technical and physical criteria when scouting for potential talent, highlighting a need for players both with strong technical ability and good mobility, which has been reflected in the players signed so far.
Didulica said however that the club would also be looking beyond pure football ability when assessing the suitability of all recruits.
"Signing players who are also good people is critical for the club," he said. "We don-t have a lot of lead in time so we don-t have much opportunity to build a club culture. We need a bunch of professionals who are keen to hit the ground running.
Following Head Coach John van 't Schip-s well publicised scouting trip through Europe, Heart has identified a number of key targets to fill the club-s allowed quota of foreign stars, which currently sits at five.
However, as a result of the vagaries of the European transfer market, their availability is likely to be uncertain until the end of the current season in May.
Didulica though expects Heart to have a full squad at its disposal by mid-June, allowing van 't Schip and his assistants, Jesper Olsen and Ante Milicic to have ample time to integrate the club philosophy.
"We hope to finalise the playing list sooner rather than later. I think we want to have the entire squad in place by that first training date in mid to early June after our local stars return from their break," he said.
"Whether we announce those players or sign them up in advance of that date we-re not sure as the European market will be very fluid around May and June with so many players coming off contract.

Maersk has launched a new AE19 ship-train-ship service from the Far East to Gdansk (photo, video)
Maersk has launched a new AE19 ship-train-ship service from the Far East to Gdansk. Its inauguration took place on Wednesday at the DCT Gdansk container terminal. Thanks to the intercontinental train, transit time from Asia to Poland will be twice as fast. The connection will complement existing services based only on the ocean product.
- Today we have finalized pilot transport from Busan in South Korea, to Gdansk and transported containers within 18 days. This service is relatively simple. It is constructed of three basic branches: the first is the "sea leg" in Asia, the second is the "land leg" from Vostoczno in Russia to St. Petersburg in Russia, and then the sea route from St. Petersburg to Gdansk - explains Tomasz Zwiercan, managing director of Maersk in Poland.
He added that the basic and key benefit of this service is very fast transit time, which, compared to traditionally sea transport, is halved in most cases.
- This service will be very flexible, because like all other Maersk maritime services, this one will be made based on our standard transport documents, sea bills of lading, despite the fact that land transport is a large part of it - says Zwiercan.
The journey of the intercontinental container train from Asian locations through Russia takes 9 days. Then, after 2 days short sea service, containers are delivered to DCT Gdansk. The first of them, intended exclusively for the Polish market, arrived there on container ship Calisto. The vessel is 167.98 m long, 25.73 m wide and has capacity of 1 574 TEU. Built in 2005, the ship sails under the Liberian flag.
- This is a great example of rail and sea transport synergy that bring benefits to the port. We have often wondered if trains will take goods transported from China from shipping lines and ports. The new service shows that it doesn't have to be this way. On the contrary, it's added value, increasing volumes and connections. We are very happy that we can be part of the new opportunity - says Cameron Thorpe, president of DCT Gdańsk.
He added that over 1.9 million TEU was transshipped at DCT Gdańsk last year. This years' result is expected to reach about 2 million TEU. He emphasized that strong growth is observed in Poland and neighboring markets, which is why DCT Gdansk will be a new hub and logistics center for the entire region.
DCT Gdańsk is currently implementing the T2B program, which will improve, among others quality of terminal customer service. In the middle of next year it will have fourteen STS cranes at the wharves with a total length of 1,300 m. Intensive work is also underway there to improve road and rail access to the terminal. Part of the existing infrastructure in the truck parking lot is also being rebuilt and arranged. It will be adapted to the needs of the newly implemented Gateway Optimization System. These will be fully automated gates that use OCR (optical character recognition) cameras to register trucks and containers that will arrive in Gdansk in accordance with prior booking in the e-Gate notification system.
At the end of last year, the first stage of expansion and reconstruction of the existing railway siding began at DCT Gdańsk.
Weekly service in the beginning
The transport time on the AE19 service from Busan to Gdańsk is 18 days. Return trip takes 22 days.
- Gdańsk will be entry point, but we are thinking about getting these goods not only to Poland, but also to the Czech Republic and Slovakia. We intend to maintain this service in the first weekly cycle in the first period of operation, but of course as the interest of our clients increases, the frequency will increase - says Zwiercan.
He informed that both in Asia and in the European part of the Baltic Sea, the goods will be transported by delivery vessels, i.e. smaller units that support the Saint Petersburg-Gdańsk connection in the case of the Baltic Sea. The advantage of the new service is the transit time and frequency that Maersk is able to provide.
- Compared to sea transport or intercontinental rail transport, we have a chance to handle large streams of goods - emphasized Zwiercan.
He added that the AE19 service for dry and refrigerated cargo in containers was launched because Maersk customers expected it.
Sealand Asia, a Maersk Group company, will provide sea transport services from the Far East to the Russian port of Vostoczny. Sealand Europe will be responsible for maritime transport in the Baltic Sea. Customs formalities related to rail transit will be handled by one of the largest private rail operators in Russia - the Modul company. Containers will be loaded and unloaded at terminals belonging to Global Ports - the largest Russian port operator. These will be the VSC terminals at the Vostoczny Port and PLP in St. Petersburg.
Maersk plans to expand service to Japan and other Asian countries. Ships from St. Petersburg will be able to transport goods not only to DCT Gdansk, but also to Bremerhaven in Germany as well as to Scandinavian and Baltic ports. It will shorten the transport time compared to exclusively ocean-based services and ensure cost competitiveness in comparison to air freight.

Steve Double slams Cornwall Council for 'overreacting' over gourmet burger van licensing row
The van owner said he doesn't know what to do if he is forced to stop trading in January

An MP has slammed Cornwall Council for "overreacting" in a licensing row with a gourmet burger van owner.
Tom Hilder, of Tom's Takeout and a former Rick Stein chef, opened a fancy new burger van on the A390 between Truro and St Austell earlier this year.
But having recently applied to Cornwall Council for a renewal of his street trading licence, Tom has now learned that his new business venture could soon be over.
Tom has been in a row with licensing enforcement officers over the removal of his trailer from the layby outside his trading hours and, as a result, officers could deny the renewal of his street trading licence.
Tom has said he doesn't know what he will do if he is forced to stop trading after the licensing committee make their decision in January.
MP for St Austell and Newquay, Steve Double has now shared his support for Tom.
Preparing The Tomzilla
Mr Double said: "I believe Cornwall Council have over-reacted on this matter and that the street trading committee should not use the objection from the enforcement team to deny the request for a street trading license.
"I have written to members of the committee ahead of their January 3 meeting and hope they will agree with me and grant Tom his license."

Originally from Camelford, Tom previously entered a cookery contest at school judged by none other than Rick Stein.
Tom ended up working as a commis chef at Rick Stein's famed Seafood Restaurant.

Eventually Tom, who now lives in Probus, decided to start up on his own in the hopes of cheffing without the relentless hard slog of restaurant hours.
Tom's Takeout, which has been parking up since February and has a hygiene rating of five, was the result.
He's in the layby from 7.30am to 3.30pm and has already built up a steady trade of regulars, many of whom travel out of their way to taste his wares.

Tom said: "My licence has just gone up for renewal and it could be refused now.
"They have asked me to tow it away a couple of times but it's not in the best state to be moving at the moment - at the start they didn't sound too bothered.
"But now I've had a bottle of gas and my tow trailer stolen and I haven't managed to replace it. I'm not saying I want to stay there permanently, but I was just asking them for a bit of time.
It may not look anything special but this layby burger van is serving up wonders
"They have been quite reasonable because they let me carry on trading, but I will just have to see what happens."
Tom said he has received a letter of support from MP for St Austell and Newquay, Steve Double.
He continued: "Business is going alright now, summer was a bit hit and miss, but after the review of my food was run on Cornwall Live and in the papers, it got a lot busier.
"It is going in the right direction – which is why it's stressful because I don't want to have to stop now. I have done everything by the book – I pay my rent, have good health and safety ratings and gas safety.

"I'm not sure what I will do if I don't get my license renewed, I suppose I could appeal but it has just started to pick up. I am not going to give up.
"Worst case scenario I guess I will have to find another spot, but I've gotten established where I am now, so it would be a shame.
"I'm hoping to work for a little longer and then get a new van. Everyone says they would be upset if I wasn't here anymore.

"I spoke to someone at the council and she said 'try to bring some good evidence with you' so I'm going to take the letter from the MP and the review from the West Briton and go in there and be polite and hope that it goes well."
A letter from licensing enforcement officer Bob Hoare states: "As previously discussed I think the licensing compliance team will object to the renewal of this street trading license.
"Bob Mears wrote to the applicant earlier in the year for failing to remove his trailer and he continued to leave it in the layby after.

"I visited the site on September 28, 2017, and sent him an email stating he had a month to remove it, as he claimed it had broken down.
"I revisited the site on October 31, 2017, he stated he hadn't seen my email I had sent to him (given him a copy there and then). He claimed he now had a further problem with tow bar. I told him if trailer was not moved at end of play that day enforcement action would be taken."
Steve Double MP
It continued: "The trailer was subsequently seen at this location outside of its trading hours by two members of licensing staff and I checked it yesterday (November 28) at 3.45pm it was on-site, not having been removed, and I took the photos attached to prove as such.
"The applicant as far as I know has not applied for an exemption, so I feel we have sufficient evidence at this time to object to his renewal as he has not complied with the street trading conditions, i.e. not removing his trailer from the layby at the end of trading hours."
A decision on the licence renewal has been scheduled to be made on January 3.

HOUSE OF CARDS: THE COMPLETE FOURTH SEASON Blu-ray Review
July 14, 2016 - Blu-ray Reviews - Tagged: Blu-ray Review, house of cards, Kevin Spacey, Netflix, Robin Wright - no comments
Netflix's award-winning political drama looks and sounds great, but can we recommend it for purchase?
Review by Matt Cummings
If NBC's THE WEST WING painted a somewhat rosier picture of Washington politics, Netflix's HOUSE OF CARDS paints something certainly darker. Filled with intrigue, backdoor dealings, and even murder, the series has made its intentions clear from the start: life ain't pretty, and Washington is no exception. Thankfully, the home release gives us reason to smile: it looks and sounds amazing, but its Supplements appear to have gotten lost in the infamous DC traffic triangle.
Rather than take you through the plot – because to do would give too much away – let's move right into some thoughts about the season, because if you're reading this you're probably just wondering how you can justify buying something that's always available on Netflix. More on that later. Fans would probably tell you that Season 3 was the weakest, but 4 roars back to life, returning to what it does best: political scheming, threats, and promises. Creator Beau Willimon gloriously paints a picture of political officers who don't practice what they preach, content to utter media soundbites while pursuing their own agendas. He paints a picture of a government in internal crisis, one attack or even day from destroying itself and taking the nation with it.
But HOUSE OF CARDS is also about those same people and crises they endure. This show has always been about individuals, and Season 4 gives us more of that Darwin-esque philosophy: eat or be eaten. That kind of feeding can bring one down if you attempt to extrapolate it into current events. But that could be the case with ABC's excellent (but hopefully untrue) HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER, or a dozen other excellent shows. But Wilimon does his best to make everything SEEM real, which merely adds to people's worries that he might be telling someone's story(ies) but using Netflix's capital for his own gain. Sneaky if it's true.
Performances in Season 4 are again top-notch. One never tires of Kevin Spacey or Robin Wright as the power broker couple whose marriage begins to unwind while Frank is out on the campaign trail. The series is also damn good at mirroring what's become a tense and very nervous political situation as we gear up for the presidential election this November. It's almost too on the nose, but Spacey, Wright, and the entire cast seem ready for such a challenge. Anyone who didn't appreciate Season 3 of HOUSE OF CARDS shouldn't give up hope: Season 4 returns to the depravity which made this series impressive from Day One, and seems ready to dive even deeper for Season 5.
HOUSE OF CARDS: THE COMPLETE THE COMPLETE FOURTH SEASON is presented on an impressive MPEG-4/AVC transfer. This four-disc set reminds us of previous season, basking in the darkness of filmic glory. It's got a shade of brown that's actually more powerful than if it had been something stark instead. So when a brightly colored shirt, tie, or set piece is featured, it really pops. The series is shot digitally, but you'd never know it from the added grain. Clothing is exceptionally detailed, as are human features. Black levels and shadows play well together, adding to the already dreary world conjured up by the series' creator. It really does the series right, making you a little less cheerful after watching it, simply because of its tone.
Sony's audio acumen is on display here, as HOUSE OF CARDS: THE COMPLETE FOURTH SEASON prances into the room with an impressive DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 transfer. For a series that's so dialogue heavy, we get a rich experience nevertheless. Dialogue is centered where it should, with other elements – such as the music by Composer Jeff Beal – broadly dominating the other channels. It's a nice contrast, especially when the LFE gets involved. But remember, this isn't THE AVENGERS, so don't expect explosions as Frank dispenses. But it's the surrounds which perform the best: background noises frequently assault the rears, including crowd noises, office chatter, etc. Sony's efforts are impressive, especially considering their stated desire to include their TrueHD in other releases.
HOUSE OF CARDS: THE COMPLETE FOURTH SEASON contains no supplements. At all. This is a major disappointment, considering all the insights we could have gained with a commentary track or a well-produced EPK.
Our evaluation copy contains only four Blu-ray discs, as well as UV digital copy voucher. The Digipak is pretty, with interior artwork throughout. But herein lies the problem: why would anyone desire to purchase this season, when all episodes are still available for streaming? Even if you're not a Netflix-er, purchasing a month to intake this season would be far cheaper than buying the discs. And with no Supplements available, the decision to pay Netflix and not Sony becomes even easier.
HOUSE OF CARDS: THE COMPLETE FOURTH SEASON is a vast improvement over Season 3, perhaps making the best ever. The political intrigue has never been greater, nor have the stakes, and our creative team digs deep into the current political environment to portray a deeply broken system of government. The audio and video go a long way to painting this sort of bleak picture, but the lack of any Supplements make it difficult to recommend. We purchase these discs for additional content, to learn more about how the showrunner's ideas affect the final product. Without any of that insight, making a straight purchase here makes absolutely no sense. If you have yet to see Season 4 – or perhaps any of this excellent series – simply pay the lower price on Netflix and save yourself all that cash. By current estimations, that would allow you at least three months of service.

Hawks 107, Knicks 98
The Knicks!
By Seth Feb 22, 2014, 10:11pm EST
Share All sharing options for: Hawks 107, Knicks 98
Andrew Weber-US PRESSWIRE
Oh look, the Knicks played another Knicks game! They dominated for large swaths of the evening, moving the ball beautifully through Carmelo Anthony to get him useful looks and to get others openings out of help. But because they are the Knicks and because their heinous war crime of a defense is always waiting to ruin everything when the offense misses a beat, none of the early successes mattered. Nothing mattered. They went down 10, then up 18, then just stood and watched while the Hawks buried deep bombs at a three-point contest pace to take over in the fourth quarter.
This game was a reminder that the Knicks can always get Knicksier. How can a game the Knicks led by 18 in the third quarter contain garbage-time minutes in the other teams' favor? The Knicks. How can Mike Scott (for the second time!) and DeMarre Carroll (invigorated by a tiff with Melo) BOTH hit career-highs in the same game, and both while Jeff Teague was really the Hawks' most dominant offensive player (on a bad ankle)? The Knicks! How can Melo play 37 minutes in his fourth game in five nights-- 170 minutes since Tuesday-- and STILL drop 35 points on 25 shots and STILL lead the Knicks to nothing but a nine-point loss to a horribly slumping, deeply short-handed opponent? The Knicks! How can Tyson Chandler rip down 23 rebounds and Raymond Felton play another solid offensive game and Amar'e Stoudemire score efficiently off the bench and it all amount to nothing. The Knicks!
The Knicks are the Knicksiest Knicks who ever Knicksed. Nobody will ever Knicks this Knicksily, except for the Knicks, who will probably Knicks even Knickslier than this in the near future.
All I have right now is thanks for Clyde and Spero for making this somewhat entertaining. If I didn't have Clyde rhapsodizing about golf (he doesn't have the patience for it, but he does like "the ambience of the course"), reacting to the mention of Greg Buttle's name with "Greg Buttle the former Jet! Ha-HA! I haven't seen Greg in a long time", completely forgetting Tobias Harris's name while referencing his back-and-forth with Melo on Friday night, and noting that Lenny Wilkens "has been inducted to the Hall of Fame THREE times, folks! As a player, as a coach, and...what was the other one?"...I would have nothing. Thank you. We need that.
Not you, Knicks. No thank you. Go away. You're terrible.
Here's a pangolin rolling in some mud.

Not with New Year resolutions.
Not with a blank page.
So what am I struggling with?
I have too many projects close to completion.
It feels like a form of digital paralysis.
It is a great position to be in.
It probably means that I'm not going to get anything done today.
Sometimes not getting things done is as comforting as getting things done.

Q: Extracting blocks of txt file and saving them to separate files I have a huge .txt file (approx 200MB).
The structure of the file is the following
#l = 1
0 0 -1234 1234
0 1 -1234 1234
0 2 -1234 1234
...
n n -1234 1234

#l = 2
0 0 -1234 1234
0 1 -1234 1234
..
n n -1234 1234
...

#l = 100
0 0 -1234 1234
0 1 -1234 1234
..
n n -1234 1234

where 1234 stands for some generic random number, n can be 499 and the number of l blocks can be 100 as in the example.
The important thing is that I have blocks to isolate, i.e. I need to create one .txt file for each block starting with #l= ...
I want to ask if there is some intelligent way of doing this. Cutting the file manually is not at all easy, my editor has problems dealing with the size of the file. I am happy with using any solution: shell, python...

A: Try this python script
import re

    cwf = open("0.txt","w+")
    for line in open('filename.csv'):
        if re.match(r"#l", line):
            num = re.search(r"#l\s=\s(.*)", line).group(1)
            cwf = open(num+"txt","w+")

        cwf.write(line)


On this week's episode, hosts Jarrett Stepman and Fred Lucas discuss the long history of presidential wars with the press. President Donald Trump sometimes uses caustic language with his foes in the Fourth Estate, but as Lucas and Stepman explain, other presidents have used softer rhetoric and harsher official action to silence critics.
From John Adams to Woodrow Wilson to Barack Obama, presidents have often used their official—and perhaps sometimes not technically legal—powers to curtail the American media.


Discussion in 'Retired Tryouts Post' started by Swede57, Oct 31, 2017.
My team is looking to add 2 hardworking and dedicated young ladies to complete my roster. We are looking to add a Pitcher and a Power Hitting utility player. We have a great nucleus of hard-working young ladies and these are the two missing links that we are seeking.
Our plan is to play in at least 11 tournaments next spring/summer and even a couple more if possible. Our indoor training facility is located in Alliance and we have 3 indoor training sessions a week throughout the winter.
At SlamForce, all of our players will receive a weekly (40 total) 2 hour team defensive training session from fielding/defensive expert, Bob Hoiles, a weekly 2 hour hitting session with the best hitting instructor around, Lance Schmidt, as well as a weekly 2 hour team training session indoors throughout the winter.
Pitching, catching and hitting lessons are also available to our athletes by former Division I players and instructors along with Speed & Agility classes through PBA Training. We believe this high-level training is not commonly found in other organizations and we feel it's imperative to continue developing our young players as they prepare for high school and beyond.
Please contact Michael Lesch, Head Coach at either 330.831.1909 or mlesch57@Hotmail.com to arrange a private/confidential tryout.


French dreampop duo, Murmure, are about to come forth with a new EP which finds the band aiming to expand and freshen up their already delightful sound.
On the enchantingly titled Nos Idées Fantômes the duo attempts an approach that feels much more inclined on shoeagaze, but without sacrificing any of the airiness and the ethereal qualities of their previous releases.
Nos Idées Fantômes is comprised of five new tracks, and also includes the previously released Les âmes Miroirs which came out in March as an individual single. The EP's title track is also the first single unveiled off it, and it accompanied by an illusory visual.
