The Falcons continue pioneering new firsts in the NFL. This time it is first-round rookie AJ Terrell testing positive for the highly-contagious coronavirus. This is a problem for a secondary already missing Kendall Sheffield and Ricardo Allen, but an even bigger problem for the rest of the team.
Per multiple NFL reporters, Terrell was not ruled out due to contact with someone with the coronavirus, but he tested positive for the virus. The Falcons received the positive finding on Saturday from a test administered Friday. No other Falcons tested positive during the same test, however, we do not know if Terrell may have exposed others during practice.
We made it just over two weeks into the regular season before a player with the coronavirus practiced with other players, per Adam Schefter.
Falcons got the news about CB A.J. Terrell's test today; it was from a test he took Friday morning. Terrell practiced Friday. Now immediate contact tracing goes into effect, per league protocols, but the Falcons have not gotten any other positive test results. https://t.co/0mqy9dNLUG

And per Tom Pelissero, we won't know until just a few hours before kickoff.
All NFL players and other Tier 1/2 individuals wear tracking devices all day in the facility, so contact tracing is a relatively easy process. If no one was within 6 feet for 15+ straight minutes, tests positive or shows symptoms, no impact on anyone else's status for game day. https://t.co/jR6G2Qn0Cq

The Falcons may have to hold out any player who had the close contact with Terrell, and have to worry about other players popping up with the virus with little to no warning. How the team can deal with the possibility of replacing multiple players is unclear.
This is both a short-term problem for the Falcons, a long-term problem for the league, and potentially a long-term problem for players as we learn a percentage of even young and healthy people suffer from different heart and breathing issues for far longer than others.
We hope the best for Terrell and hope other players have not been exposed to the coronavirus. However, we will not know for sure until Sunday morning.
Dan Quinn and Thomas Dimitroff better have planned for contingencies better than the team planned for recovering onside kicks.


I bougt these mats for my 07 Forester XT and the fitment is perfect and they look great.
These look so good on the blue carpet, I love them. Just wish the passanger side had a clip hole like the driver.
Bought this for my '04 WRX last weekend, RSD made sure it was here in 3 days! Never had that fast of shipping unless I paid extra for it. Anyway these fit just fine in the 2004 WRX (Non-STi model) The clip makes these so much nicer than the Wally world mats I originally had in my car, which always creeped up under the pedals. Also the added style improves the look of the interior. Great Mats.
Fits perfect, even has a fail safe to the button clip that requires some install but is good cause it keeps it from moving on the driver side. Great product!
Needed STI mats for my new STI... these are STI mats. They look awesome with the STI stitching and I love the driver side hook that keeps it in place. Not much else to say.
Looks AWESOME thank you RSD. Much better looking than the plain blue mats and the STI logo stands out. ALOHA!
brand new, great condition and perfect fit.
This is a very nice piece and it fit very well in my 99 RS coupe even though its for a WRX or STI it still works great and looks good.
by far the best mats you could get. Fit perfectly and latch in perfectly. Great look too! Also great smell thanks RSD!
These floor mats are spectacular. They look great, they fit perfectly, the driver's side mat hooks on one side and bolts down on the other so it doesn't slide all over the place, and it has a hardened area where your heel rests so it doesn't wear so fast. Brilliant.
Great product, fast shipping, couldn't ask for more!
Great quality, thick, plush, and deep black mats with a solid driver's foot box and extra bolt support for the driver's mat on the inside. My driver's mat still slips off the factory hook though, so I can't give them 5 stars. The perfect finishing touch on my full black interior swap on my STi.

Daydream Nation
by robertsona STAFF
March 6th, 2010 | 1177 replies
Release Date: 1988 | Tracklist
Review Summary: It's just noise.
I guess the most important component of enjoying Daydream Nation (and, as well, Sonic Youth's music in general) is whether or not you find the same sense of exhilaration that they do in danger, alienation, lust, and exploring the unexplored (and possibly disastrous). This sense of delving into potentially threatening territory defined every bit of the band's early career, from their biting sections of abrasive noise to their disaffected lyrics to their, um, sticking of screwdrivers into their own guitars. Whatever floats their boat is what you're going to have to deal with if you want to fully enjoy one of the most unanimously praised yet undeniably enigmatic bands of the endlessly fruitful underground scene. If you enjoy a little risky business in your music, well, then that's just a bonus (some detest it, such as the impregnated, pop-culture spouting Juno: "it's just noise.").
There's something else in these anthems-for-the-disturbed though, considering any sane rock purist who listened to the infamous midsection of "Silver Rocket" might come to the exact same conclusion. Most are then faced with a difficult decision: stick with either the album, or the opinion of the album. Because, whether you like it or not, one is staying and the other is going. Daydream Nation, detested by many, is also the archetype of a "grower"; its various idiosyncrasies begin not to make sense, but to rather seem a little more natural, a byproduct of the sexy, slightly insane mindset the band are famous for holding steadfast to. Even Robert Christgau, one of the most notoriously stubborn rock critics, gave in, calling "their discordant never-let-up" a "philosophical triumph", straight after panning their earlier works.
So, what is it that Daydream Nation contains that slowly starts to appeal to those who give it a chance? Many may try, but it's nigh impossible to put in words. For one, the album put what was endearing "college-radio" rock to so many in a comprehensive package: not only catchy, punk rock-esque riffs, but also a sense of discovery and reckless abandon, demonstrated by the band's ability to switch from a simple guitar riff to a section of spiked guitar feedback or a gradual melting pot of noises, motifs, and melodies.
Third track "The Sprawl" exemplifies this in full: the first half consists of a relatively forthright guitar hook and bassist Kim Gordon's strangely sexy, unemotional coos. However, just as an innocent listener starts wondering what all the fuss is about, the song suddenly slows into a hypnotic piece of (sigh) "art-rock", with melodies and rhythms that were introduced in the first section suddenly being flipped on their sides and repeated incessantly, with layers being added on seemingly every measure. Soon, the "normal" (guitar strums, washes of cymbals) and the "weird" (screeches, white noise) coalesce into one awesome theme for those who just don't give a ***. Suddenly, it dawns on you: this isn't just your everyday punks fooling around with their guitars. This is something much, much better.
The band perfect this precarious balance again and again on Daydream Nation, slowing wrapping unsuspecting listeners in their irresistible grasp. Much like "The Sprawl", "Total Trash" has a total meltdown about halfway through, but instead of slowing down, the members of the band just go all-out and start banging their instruments (with precision!), creating a beautiful mess in the process (doubtful listeners, don't worry!: the song manages to get back on its feet with ample time to reprise its chorus).
Sometimes, there isn't even a melody to latch onto: "Providence", which is bound to be stamped as "filler" to some (hint: it's not), consists simply of unsettling rumbles, poorly recorded piano playing, and a phone call from Mike Watt to Thurston Moore (excerpt: "Thurston! I think it's ten thirty, we're calling from Providence, Rhode Island. Did you find your ***?"). The "***" in question is some lost band equipment that Watt suspects Thurston may have accidentally thrown out, but that's beside the point: the song is almost creepily successful in its producing of an eerie "soundscape"; you feel like anything could jump out at you at any second.
For many, Daydream Nation is a classic. For me, it hasn't hit that point yet. I've listened to the album over and over recently, and I've still got the feeling that there's more to discover and explore. For a while, I considered holding off on a review of the album until I knew for sure that it was or wasn't a "classic" album. However, as I soon realized, the effect of the album will always be the same at any point in time. Daydream Nation is a strikingly innovative, beautifully disaffected release, full of surprises and excitements. Give it time, and its allure will soon become all too present. Just ask Pitchfork.

i felt good writing this
i kinda wanted to make it a 5 because, you know, it feels better than a 4.5 for such an important, acclaimed album
but it's just not there yet bro
still think i did it justice
Album Rating: 4.5
Tracklist for this album needs to be fixed. One little personal nitpick on the review, while the writing style was fun to read, I don't really care to hear about reviewers criticizing other reviews. It's an album review, not a critic review hahahahaha. Pos' for excellence though.
Never found the appeal with these guys.

really good review, excepting this sentence:
Whatever floats their boat is what you're going to have to deal with if you want to fully enjoy one of the most unanimously praised yet undeniably enigmatic bands of the endlessly fruitful underground scene.
a. "yet" usually signals contrasting thoughts, while being praised and being enigmatic are both positives to the people who will be reading this review.
b. 'endlessly fruitful underground scene' what the fuck does this even mean.
c. it just reads horribly, and is way too long, especially the first clause. read it to yourself out loud. Whatever floats their boat is what you're going to have to deal with...
one bad sentence does not a neg make. a great read, pos'd.
Deviant.
So, what is it that Daydream Nation contains that slowly starts to appeal to those who give it a chance? Many may try, but it's nigh impossible to put in words
I'd get rid of that, simply because that's precisely what you're attempting to do. It's like setting the remainder of the review up for failure
BUT I ACCOMPLISH THE NIGH-IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE I AM ROBERT SON A.
yeah man, your problem generally is that you fuck up your tone. You use all these colloquialisms like
"um" and "(sigh)" and "i guess" but then you write something like:
it's night impossible to put in words
literally read the review out loud after you're done writing it, and then pick/choose sentences you

Videos from the Gathering of the Circle of the Foundation, 2019
An inspiring in-person gathering of the membership of the Foundation for Shamanic Studies took place January 25 – 26, 2019 in the San Francisco area, California. The theme was "helping to create a vibrant future for our community and the planet." Here are two videos from that gathering.
Introduction, "Creating a Vibrant Future," with Susan Mokelke, FSS President
A look at the Foundation's history and development and where we are now. Susan discusses the relevance of shamanism today, and the critical need to bring the wisdom of the spirits to our communities and world—not only for healing, but to restore balance, unity, and harmony to carry us into the future.
Report on the Legacy (FSS library), with Sandra Harner, Vice President and Director of the Shamanic Knowledge Conservatory
Sandra reports on the status of the FSS books and periodicals, and exciting progress preserving the library and making the materials accessible to researchers.
Shamanism and the Living Universe with Duane Elgin
Social visionary, internationally recognized speaker, and author (duaneelgin.com)
Duane Elgin speaks to the importance of shamanic wisdom in a universe where everything is alive. He provides a look at the deeper trends that underlie what we see happening on the surface in our societies. He addresses some of the practical implications of a living universe, and how we would relate effectively to people, all of nature, and the universe itself, if we understood this fundamental truth. Duane finishes with a message of inspiration and hope, offering a model of where humanity is in our development and suggesting possibilities for our maturation as a species and creating a future that nurtures all life.

In Journal of the Plague Year by Daniel Defoe, the narrator speaks ominously of a coming sickness: "In the whole face of things, as I say, was much altered: sorrow and sadness sat upon every face; and though some parts were not yet overwhelmed, yet all looked deeply concerned; and as we saw it apparently coming on, so every one looked on himself and his family as in the utmost danger." A fictional account of the plague that struck London in 1665, the book has received increased attention in recent months, perhaps most notably serving as namesake to the project dedicated to documenting the current pandemic: A Journal of the Plague Year: An Archive of COVID 19.
Dr. Alex J. Navarro of the University of Michigan.
Defoe's narrator also speaks to the same kind of fear that crept into America's cities during the Influenza Epidemic of 1918 and is documented at the online archive, The Influenza Encyclopedia. The website explores the pandemic through government documents, postcards, images, and newspapers articles across fifty US cities. Additionally, for each metropolis an essay detailing the municipality's struggle with the disease provides great detail in understanding how local authorities responded and residents endured. We discussed the impetus for the archive, its relevance to today, and why there has never been a Hollywood film on the topic despite a plethora of movies documenting fictional pandemics with one of the archive's co-founders, Alex J. Navarro, Assistant Director at the Center for the History of Science at the University of Michigan.
You completed the Influenza Encyclopedia in 2012 and updated it four years later, two years ahead of the centennial. In the introduction to the first edition of the site, you write, "Contrary to the popular imagination, the history of the 1918 influenza epidemic is hardly a monolithic one and can be best characterized as many tales of multiple places and people." Was this the impetus behind the larger project and, to your point, how has building the encyclopedia revealed this multiplicity of experiences you describe?
This was definitely a large part of the impetus behind the creation of influenzaarchive.org. The standard history of the 1918 epidemic is that the epidemic swept across the United States, devastating communities that were powerless to react. Over the years, various myths have been added, including that health officers lied to the public about the seriousness of influenza and that massive censorship prevented citizens from being fully informed. Through our research, we discovered that this simply was not true. Cities and states across the nation implemented a host of community mitigation measures, which, as our 2007 JAMA paper shows, were successful when implemented early, in a layered fashion, and kept in place for as long as possible.
Newspapers featured daily articles on the epidemic, often with front-page and above-the-fold coverage. It is true that many federal, state, and local health officers initially downplayed the seriousness of the epidemic. This was not out of a purposeful desire to misinform the public, however. It was simply a result of the knowledge gap that existed about influenza at the time. The prevailing theory at the time was that influenza was a bacterial disease and that previous epidemics, as well as bad seasonal outbreaks, had come and gone. With no understanding that the 1918 epidemic was being caused by a novel strain of a virus for which no one had immunity, and with a bit of resignation that epidemics could not really be controlled, health officers were simply reacting with the medical information they had at hand. In each city we studied, we noticed a similar pattern: health officers who were initially unconcerned quickly realized that the epidemic was much more serious than first imagined, and then they reacted accordingly. While many cities and states reacted with a similar slate of public health measures, each city definitely had its own unique epidemic as well as response. In some cities, visionary public health officers and mayors were decisive in their leadership. In others, officials catered to businesses and tailored – and sometimes weakened – closure orders to placate those interests. In others still, elected officials challenged public health officers at the state and local level. Many cities had truly wonderful stories that came out of the epidemic, especially concerning the massive effort undertaken by citizen volunteers to act as nurses, to care for sick neighbors, to take in children orphaned by the epidemic, etc.
Our work grew out of an initial project conducted for the Defense Threat Reduction Agency. From there, we launched a collaborative research project with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on the use of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPI) used in 43 American cities during the 1918 pandemic. That study, however, was a quantitative one. As part of our year-long research effort, we had gathered thousands of pages of newspaper articles, state and municipal health reports, scholarly articles from the period, correspondence, meeting minutes, and other documents. In these documents were incredible stories of the day-to-day history of how the pandemic unfolded in American cities. We therefore decided to create a digital archive of this trove of material so that other researchers, students, public health officials, and even lay people could easily access it. But we also realized that we needed to help contextualize the material. We therefore expanded our list of cities to 50 and crafted essays on how each community responded to their epidemic. With the tremendous help of the staff of M-Publishing (part of the University of Michigan Library) and a great web designer, we were able to create our digital encyclopedia.

Seattle, like several other cities, placed great emphasis on a public vaccination campaign as a way of halting the spread of the disease. Unfortunately, vaccines at the time were useless. The National Archives and Records Administration, The Influenza Encyclopedia.
According to historians such as John Barry and Alfred Crosby, Jr., record keeping during the pandemic was poor. You've uploaded newspaper articles, letters, images, reports, and other materials from the era. How hard was it to find documentation of the epidemic and what determinations did you have to make regarding the selection of the primary documents? Did you use mostly digital archives or did it require travel to archives in order to digitize materials?
From the outset we realized that the most important source of information would be newspaper articles. We selected two newspapers with the widest circulation for each city and then went about capturing every article that mentioned the pandemic or tangential information for the period from late-August 1918 through March 1919. This was well before most of these newspapers were digitized and accessible online. We had to go through the microfilm reel by reel. It was a laborious process, but it gave us detailed, day-by-day information on each city's epidemic. Newspapers were absolutely critical to our research.
We also knew that state and municipal annual health reports and monthly bulletins would be essential sources as well. These documents can be very difficult to find, but we managed to track down copies for nearly every city in our study for the years between 1917 and 1920. In many cases these health reports offer rather perfunctory summations of the epidemic. A few cities – Chicago, for example – published lengthy and incredibly rich retrospectives on their epidemic, full of detailed information that helped clarify some of the confusing newspaper reports that had been generated in real time.
Whenever possible, we also traveled to archival repositories to obtain copies of items such as meeting minutes of local and state boards of health and education, mayor's and governor's papers, correspondence from officials, and records of the American Red Cross, the Navy's Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, and the Army's Medical Department.
For our initial study on the use of NPI, the most critical set of documents we located was the U.S. Census Bureau's "Weekly Health Index." These are typewritten documents that tracked overall mortality for the largest American cities. During the pandemic, the Census Bureau also included the data for influenza and pneumonia deaths for these cities. While case and death data were frequently reported by local health officers to newspaper reporters, the "Weekly Health Index" reports gave us a standardized dataset for the cities. And it was incredibly difficult to locate! We eventually found an old microfilm copy at the Science, Industry and Business Library branch of the New York Public Library. I was conducting research at the Library of Congress and National Archives when we located the microfilm. I woke up early one morning, took the train to New York, made paper copies of the reports, and took the evening train back to Washington, DC. It was like we struck gold.
Overall, we made every attempt we could to locate, copy, and incorporate every document related to the influenza epidemic in our fifty cities. Naturally there will be material we missed. But we visited dozens upon dozens of archives and special collections repositories to obtain as much information as possible.

Up until recently, historical memory of the 1918 Influenza Pandemic has been somewhat elusive. The general narrative seems to be that the war overshadowed everything and dominated newspaper reporting as well as people's memories; from your experience constructing the archive, how true do you find that explanation? How does a nation forget 675,000 dead in nine months?
America's involvement in The Great War (WWI) definitely overshadowed many other events at the time. However, it would be misleading to say that people were not concerned with the epidemic. As I noted above, there was widespread media coverage of the pandemic. Newspaper circulation and readership was generally high in 1918, and it is fair to say that the vast majority of Americans had easy access to such information and were well informed.
The answer to how the 1918 pandemic could so rapidly become a forgotten part of the nation's history is more complicated. Certainly, involvement in the war played a very large role, and headlines about the war effort dominated newspaper reporting. After the war, the nation quickly turned to other matters. The Wilson administration was busy trying to establish the League of Nations. The House and Senate, both of which had been won by Republican majorities in the midterm election of 1918, were busy opposing it. The summer after the pandemic saw the rise of American radicalism and federal attempts to quash it. It was the infamous "Red Scare" of 1919. After that came the Roaring Twenties, with a focus on prosperity and conspicuous consumption.
Underscoring these historical trends was the fact that Americans were generally more resigned to experiencing the loss of loved ones to disease. It is, of course, impossible to quantify this. But generally speaking, contagious diseases were a much larger fact of life – and death – in 1918 than they are today. Families certainly grieved the loss of loved ones to the epidemic, but that grief was largely expressed privately.
However, it should be noted that we have tended to forget other epidemics and disease outbreaks as well. Collectively, there is very little discussion of the recurrent and quite serious polio outbreaks of the first half of the twentieth century, for example. The influenza pandemics of 1957 and 1968 killed over 100,000 Americans each, yet both of those events have been completely forgotten by the nation. It remains to be seen how the current COVID-19 pandemic will be remembered in the years and decades to come, but I suspect it will follow the same pattern.
Barry suggests that the pandemic went understudied for much of the twentieth century, yet over the past three decades, public health researchers and historians seem to have filled in significant gaps, your archive serves as one example. What explains the lag in research?
I think the discrepancy is between what historians and other researchers know and study as compared to the understanding that non-historians have. Historians have always known about the 1918 pandemic, particularly its impact on World War I. Public health researchers, particularly those working on influenza or on outbreaks and epidemics, have likewise explored the 1918 pandemic. To be sure, there has been greater attention paid to the deadly influenza pandemic in the last few decades, especially after the discovery of influenza A(H5/N1) and the fear that it could lead to another major pandemic. That greater attention has brought more focus on the specific details of the 1918 pandemic.

One of the draws of your archive for urban historians are the essays discussing the disease's effect on fifty different cities. They became the basis for a supplemental issue of Public Health Reports on the pandemic. First, how did you go about writing the essays, and second, how did the issue of Public Health Reports become a reality?
Writing the essays first required processing all of the information we had gathered for each city. The first step was to go through each of the newspaper articles for a city and to abstract the pertinent information. Then we added in information from municipal health reports. That gave us a more manageable outline of how the epidemic unfolded in each city. From there, we incorporated details from the other sources we had gathered, such as various pieces of correspondence, or meeting minutes. In some cases, we conducted extra research in order to flesh-out a particular story from a city. Then I sat down and systematically drafted essays for each of the fifty cities in our project. It was a long but very rewarding process.
Just as our 2007 JAMA paper did not describe the narrative of each city's handling of their epidemic, our city essays also necessarily leave out much of the story. Because of the sources available, they tend to be top-down histories. Although impossible to explore for every city we researched, we thought it was important to at least provide a thematic overview for some aspects of the pandemic left out of our city essays. For example, what was the impact on immigrant communities? On African Americans? What role did nurses play? What was the state of bacteriology and vaccine development in the fall of 1918? To answer these questions, we gathered a group of historians of medicine and asked if they would like to help us craft thematic essays on the pandemic. We had already pitched the idea to the editors of Public Health Reports, and they were excited about the project. Our colleagues drafted their essays, which were then workshopped at a group meeting, revised based on feedback the group gave the authors, and then submitted for publication. The result is the April 2010 special supplemental issue of Public Health Reports.

Considering the world's current situation, and in particular, circumstances in the United States, the archive seems to have taken on greater relevance. What's it like to create an archive about something one hundred years ago, that in many ways, speaks to our moment now in very distressing ways?
As much as I dislike using the word "surreal," I think it is appropriate here. Everyone involved in any aspect of epidemic research – history, epidemiology, virology, vaccinology, etc. – fully understands that it is always a matter of "when" and not "if" another epidemic strikes. Still, you go about your life thinking that the next one is not going to happen any time soon. Then it happens, and you are still left feeling a bit blindsided.
Moreover, many of the same issues that occurred in 1918 are again happening today. About half of the cities we studied removed their public health interventions too soon and faced a second spike of cases and deaths, sometimes worse than the first. I fear that we might be making the same mistake today in some parts of the country. In cities that enacted mandatory face mask ordinances, such as San Francisco and Denver, pushback was widespread enough that hundreds were arrested. The San Francisco ordinance was so despised that 2,000 people formed the "Anti-Mask League" to protest it as an unconstitutional infringement of their civil liberties and as epidemiologically useless. Members included several prominent physicians and a member of the county Board of Supervisors. I see strikingly similar acts of defiance today. Despite changes in the historical backdrops between 1918 and 2020, human nature is perhaps more static than we like to admit.
We've had Outbreak, Contagion, World War Z, and even the last iteration of Planet of the Apes movies, all featuring frightening (fictional) pandemics. Why did we never get a film about 1918 and will we?
That is an excellent question. It would certainly make a great period piece, set against the backdrop of World War I and the pandemic. I have no insight into how Hollywood works, or how some (bad) movies get greenlit while other (potentially great) ideas are dismissed. But if a movie about the 1918 pandemic is ever made, my vote is for a screen adaptation of Katherine Anne Porter's short novel Pale Horse, Pale Rider.

We've covered numerous international cities in our coverage. In fact we've dedicated entire months to them You can see here for
Lagos: https://themetropole.blog/category/metropolis-of-the-month/lagos/

Buenos Aires: https://themetropole.blog/category/metropolis-of-the-month/buenos-aires/
Hi Chi Minh City: https://themetropole.blog/category/metropolis-of-the-month/ho-chi-minh-city/
In regard to the influenza archive, it's part of our Digital Summer School series highlighting digital humanities projects. It's what they focus on and though it's not an international archive we believed it was worth highlighting. We've tried to do more international Digital Summer School projects but have been less successful. Last summer we featured Accra Wala: https://themetropole.blog/2019/08/14/digital-summer-school-accra-wala-transit-spanning-continents/.
All that said, we'd love to run a piece on the pandemic's impact on cities internationally. Would you be interested in tackling it?
ps we've featured international cities in our them months such as for:
The Visual City: https://themetropole.blog/category/the-visual-city/. Here's two examples:
https://themetropole.blog/2020/02/12/in-the-future-postcards-as-popular-urbanism/
https://themetropole.blog/2020/02/06/the-visual-city-photography-film-and-postcards/
Fiction and the City: https://themetropole.blog/category/fiction-and-the-city/
Two examples:
https://themetropole.blog/2018/02/22/romance-novellas-and-the-postcolonial-african-city/
https://themetropole.blog/2018/02/15/contending-urbanization-through-satire-late-imperial-baku-as-seen-in-uzeyir-hajibeyovs-if-not-that-one-then-this-one/
https://themetropole.blog/2018/02/08/the-urbanization-of-chinese-fiction/
and I left our Toronto above: https://themetropole.blog/category/metropolis-of-the-month/toronto/.
We've also featured numerous UHA members who focus on or are working abroad, in our Member of the Week series: https://themetropole.blog/category/member-of-the-week/. Here are just two examples:
https://themetropole.blog/2020/03/03/member-of-the-week-alejandro-velasco/
https://themetropole.blog/2020/02/11/member-of-the-week-harold-berube/.
So don't worry, we're on the transnational tip.
pps. I almost forgot our Book Review section and Book shelf series. Both have featured works that extend well beyond U.S. and North American borders. Let me provide just a few examples.
Florence Under Siege: https://themetropole.blog/2020/05/26/plagued-administrative-state-a-review-of-florence-under-siege/
Badges without Borders: https://themetropole.blog/2020/03/23/from-cold-war-counterinsurgency-to-policing-in-ferguson-a-review-of-stuart-schraders-badges-without-borders/

Vocational Case Management | Carolina Case Management | Carolina Case Management & Rehabilitation Services, Inc.
A vocational assessment measures the likelihood to return to work. Testing can provide an objective way to evaluate personality/temperament, achievement, education/intelligence level, vocational aptitude, interests and lifestyle as they relate to today's workforce. Determining the appropriateness for placement into a job (either directly or with training) and returning the individual to suitable and gratifying employment is the most important part of the case manager's work. Early intervention is the key to a successful return to work. Assessment report can be expected within 10 days of completion of the evaluation.
This analysis is a systematic and orderly method to evaluate a client's potential for work. This analysis includes the client's background, education and work history and identifies skills which can be used in one job and then "transferred" into another job.
A job analysis measures the fundamentals, factors, behaviors and activities required to perform a specific job. With this information, a job description is developed. A job description is a narrative description of the activities and requirements of a specific job. The analysis of the job will then determine how closely it can match the client's residual capabilities.
The work activities and job functions being performed.
The essential functions of the job and what tasks may be reasonably accommodated.
Measures and documents the physical demands of the job (lifting, pushing, reaching, etc.,) and the frequency these activities are performed.

Readers Respond to the eWEEK editorial, "The Blue Hats."
Sure, Microsofts products got more secure ("The Blue Hats," Oct. 31), but at what price?
I run software tests against many Windows versions and install new patches on "patch Tuesdays" on all my test systems. That, though, now takes me at least two days.
The new Windows Update Service is, by far, slower than the previous version, and the split between Express and Custom requires not only one more click (I can live with that) but makes things more complicated overall.
Besides that, new security rules disable pretty much anything that is non-Microsoft. I use Macromedia Flash and HTML-based presentations often, only to find that they get broken by the new security patches and service packs issued by Microsoft. I agree that Flash can do things to ones system that may not be desired, but is there a need to disable an entire presentation technique?
Fixing one problem by breaking something else is not really fixing it. By doing less and less, Windows systems do get more secure, but they also get more useless when one does not want to do it the "Microsoft way."


Sometimes you get the whole row on the plane to yourself…other times you wind up sitting next to your new boss. If you're me you are in the latter category, because life is a fickle, fickle thing.
Did I mention that due to a computer software issue the plane will also be stuck on the tarmac for an extra 50 minutes or so?
Did I also mention that the rest of the new management team is here, too? She's across the aisle with her two young daughters.
Recap: I am stuck on a plane with my new boss AND my other new boss and her two young daughters.
…Because that explains everything, right?
How do I know all this? Because I did my homework and did my research. It's kinda my job to know who my bosses are, what they want and what they expect.
I'm not sure if they've done any research about me. Quite frankly I can only imagine what they've heard about me and from whom, and I am pretty certain that I am not what they expected. So before things get any more awkward than they already are I come right out and tell them, "I'm a dairy farmer." It had to be said. How were they supposed to know? Just because I have a cow in my carryon? This is when the whole interview process really gets started. You would have thought that this had all been done before since I thought I was already hired and all, but really, this is the first time they've met me and their first chance to get to know me.
We cover the basics about where I am from, how I got started, and how I got to where I am (meaning being a dairy farmer and not how I ended up in seat 11A). I gave them the really short version (the somewhat longer, but not too long version is here).
What does grass fed mean?
What does a cow eat?
How exactly do you get the milk out of them?
To which my new boss immediately tapped the answers into his smartphone so when he got back home he could make sure he was putting the food from our farm and farmers I knew on his family's table.
All before the plane even took off.
Here's the thing: the best part about a captive audience is not actually being the captive audience. Seats 11C and 11D,E&F may have been my new bosses but they were the captive audience. They are the ones who wanted the information I had and I was more than happy to share it with them. I didn't need to lecture them; I didn't need to educate them, and I certainly didn't need to disrespect their curiosity. (As a matter of fact I may have fed it a little.) I didn't get hung up on the fact that they are pretty much in control of the success of my family's farm, regardless of how hard we work and whether or not they truly understand what goes in to getting food from our field and barns to their table. The plain and simple truth is that the only reason our way of life is the way we are able to make our living is because our new bosses like us and want what we produce.
I'm a dairy farmer and the folks in row 11 on Southwest Fl#2609 are your basic millennial consumer. They ARE agriculture's new boss, and like it or not they are here to stay and they are technically in control of what they choose to buy and what they choose to NOT buy. But here's the often overlooked fact: more than anything they want to know from whom their food comes from. It's not that hard. It's not degrading, submissive or even that time consuming and it's worth it. Before a salesman gets the time of day from any of us on the farm you can be certain that they have been interviewed, talked about, sized up, looked up, looked down and judgement passed upon them before they even get to the part where they give you a quote. And that's just for supplies, fuel, seed and machinery…one can only expect that the same sort of effort and interest would be involved with choosing from whom to buy food to feed your family.
And if you don't think it's worth your time, or if you don't like the idea of consumers thinking they have the right to question and demand what they want to buy with their hard earned dollars then maybe you need to be reminded that farmers are consumers too. Hell, a lot of farmers are actually millennials. More importantly, just like anybody else we farmers want what we want. When it comes to paying for something with our hard earned money we farmers damn sure want it to meet our needs and our standards. We can hem and haw all we want about who is telling who what to do what, but what's good for the goose is good for the gander. Sometimes you're the goose and sometimes you are the gander. And if you don't recognize which role you are in then you are going to end up with situations like Boulder County, CO. (Even if you're a commodity farmer and you don't think you have to deal with the consumer, or with millennials, or with your "new boss" and you just assume let them learn a lesson from "biting the hand that feeds them"). Fact is, our new boss is just as stubborn and demanding as we are and we either have to give them what they want or make damn sure they know that what we have to offer is truly what they want. Somewhere in the middle is the answer, and the answer isn't going to happen without a conversation…I will let you all decide who is the boss.
I thought I got stuck on a plane with my new bosses and in reality they got stuck on a plane with me.
P.S. I think I got the job. I may have even earned a promotion.
Full Disclosure: This was not my first "interview". One of my first was in Washington D.C. in 2014.
We need more of you, simple, beatiful and perfect explanation. Thanks for sharing and being role model to all other farmers.
Thanks for taking the time to read and comment, Mesut. I appreciate you thoughts as well. Agriculture has so many different faces I think it's important that are all a part of the conversation.
Thank you James! That means a lot coming from you.

Q: Clearing cache and cookies freezes Firefox on Mac Every time I try to clear my cache or cookies, the system freezes and crashes. The spinning wheel continues and I have to force quit/reboot.
How can I clear my cache & cookies without Firefox freezing?
MacBook Pro, OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion

A: Reinstall Firefox by deleting it from /Applications and copying it from a fresh download.
If that does not help (which is likely), you may have a corrupt Firefox profile. To fix it:

*

*Use the Firefox Profile Manager, create a new profile and see if it works without crashing.

*If it does, then transfer data to the new profile from the old one.

@18:50 Smithsonian uses the JESUIT SUN symbol.
Also #45's family coat of arms at his Scottish golf course has the Roman Eagle.
Also the photo of J-Rothchild sticking his tongue out posing with the witch Ambromovic in front of a 1797 painting of naked Lucifer titled "Lucifer summoning his legion" looks alot like the statue of liberty.
Right around that time Ambromovic was in a Microsoft commercial called "Merging World's".
I think they pulled the commercial…

CHRIST SAID TO FOLLOW HIM , NOT THE EVIL WAYS OF MAN ,AND NOT TO LOOK UPON OR TOUCH ANY UNCLEAN THING .
If you don't believe in the fallen one ,Satan , then how can you believe in our Lord n saviour .
The greatest DECEPTION ever told is that Satan doesn't exit .
Stay focused on CHRIST JESUS , Not the evil of this world , be vigilant ,and watch , for the advasary is like a lion ,looking for whom he may devour . Don't look to the left or to the right , focus on Jesus .

[9]When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.
[10]There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch,
[11]Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
[12]For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.
[13]Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God.
[14]For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.

I visited Voodoo Authentica when I was in New Orleans, this was before my rebirth. The owner is a self proclaimed vampire and he drinks human blood that he claims people donate to him. I was stupid enough at the time to buy a couple "souvenirs" from him. Praise the Lord for showing me the truth that place is a curse waiting to happen. Never go there.
truepeace3 July 5, 2022 At 9:06 am
That voodoo priestess says the voodoo is in the food in New Orleans too! 😱 Whattt???
Then the Wicked coffee shop owner talks about how they use "mixology" to create their coffee blends. Interesting word. Makes me wonder about Starbucks too. No question that franchise is based in witchcraft.

As a new Zealander waiting for the same tyranny as Australia under the common wealth influence. I was happy you once replied to me. You are an idol and the biggest key to unlocking the deepest secrets these secret societies don't want to be public. People die for breaching their oaths and here you are exposing it for those who regret their decisions and want out.
You will die a martyr and you should be proud of yourself. I've never met you but I love you.
Keep this stage rolling 😄

If only there was a magic dashboard that could show you every little thing that is going on in your organization at every second of the day. If only you could see what each of your business users are working on, where your field techs are, what marketing campaigns are engaging with customers, what costs you're ncurring, what revenue you're making, and what machinery is operating, all on a single screen. A screen that sets off little emergency alerts whenever something isn't going according to your business plan. And while such an integrated dashboard doesn't exist yet, there IS technology out there that can give you a better understanding of where your business stands on a daily, hourly, and sometimes minute basis.
There are three parts of a field service organization that we believe can benefit the most from better visibility: your data, your field service management, and your customer interactions. With the right technology and the right reporting in these three areas, you can get a better handle on your organization's operations, efficiency, profitability, customer service, and more. Find out what software can help you achieve all of the above and give you better insights into the inner workings of your organization.
What parts of your system(s) are used the most?
At what times of the day is data being manipulated the most?
Which business users manipulate the most data?
How many data changes were made in a day, and to which areas of what systems?
How frequently do errors occur in your data?
These are just a few questions that can easily be answered with data tracking. Our product – Observato – even provides charts and reporting to help decipher what's going on within your data both quickly and easily. Simply run a report with the specific filters you are interested in and voila, complete visibility as promised.
How can this help transform your organization ?
Knowing the ins and outs of your data helps with data quality. The better tracked your data is, the lower the risk that system and human errors are slowing your system and overall efficiency.
Having easy access to your data and greater visibility can help you to improve your customer service by quickly resolving customer issues or queries.
Insight into business-user activity gives an organization the ability to manage user errors, monitor efficiency, and address errors before they become an issue, and ensures that employees are properly doing their jobs.
Where is your field tech? Is he on route or at a job?
When did your field tech start a job, when did he finish?
Has he tried to upsell the customer?
Did he take payment onsite?
Has the newest job that has come through been assigned? To whom?
These questions, among many others, are answered with field service management software.
Field service management software gives you the means to see what is going on within the field service division of your organization both in real-time and in long-term visibility, helping you to easily make tweaks and improvements to achieve optimal efficiency and cost savings.
For the best field service management software on the market, read our Gartner blog and download the Gartner Magic Quadrant for FSM.
What marketing campaigns are getting the most attention?
When a website visitor is on your site, which pages are they spending the most time on?
What are the demographics of your prospects?
What social media channels are your prospects engaging with?
What are your customers' buying patterns?
How do they use your products and/or services?
Are they a good candidate for upsell?
This can help you to transform your organization by giving you the opportunity to make your products or services personal, no matter the size of your customer base. Additionally it can make your marketing campaigns and customer service more effective by giving people what they truly want, and not just what you assume they want.
Business visibility should be almost like playing God. The goal should be to use the best technology to give yourself and your organization a full panoramic view of how your organization functions. This gives you the ability to adjust operations in real time, solve issues before they become real issues, and keep your organization competitive and profitable. Does your service organization have the key visibility it needs to thrive in today's market?

Q: ( Axis2 / Rampart ) Disable BSP Compliance OR Remove  I am looking to disable BSP Compliance (I dont want my message containing the elements ).
I have tried, to no avail:
OutflowConfiguration outflowConfig = new OutflowConfiguration();
outflowConfig.setBSPCompliant(false);

stub._getServiceClient().getOptions().setProperty(WSSHandlerConstants.OUTFLOW_SECURITY, outflowConfig.getProperty());

Does anyone else know of a way to remove the  element(s) from my outgoing SOAP Message in Axis2/Rampart?

A: I figured out I can setup a new outgoing phase (via axis2.xml), which passes in a MessageContext to my customer Handler, and then I can get the SOAPEnvelope/Header via the MessageContext, traverse the elements and nodes, find the element(s) I want to remove, and then call removeChild.
For outgoing (OutFlow) Axis2 messages, WSS(4J) signing seems to happen in the "Security" Phase.
<phase name="Security"/>

So, I wanted to remove some XML Elements that got appended in the Security Phase.  Specifically, the "ec:InclusiveNamespaces" elements.   It seems to be from XML Exclusive Canonicalization, and I couldn't figure out any other way to disable this setting in WSS4J (apart from Re-Compiling Axis2/Rampart...)
So, we need to add our own, new, custom OutFlow Handler.  After the Security Phase.
<phase name="PostSecurity">
        <handler name="MyOutHandler" class="com.yourcompany.YourSoapHandler"/>
</phase>

Next, make your Custom Handler Class :
package com.yourcompany;

public class YourSoapHandler extends AbstractHandler {

    public InvocationResponse invoke(MessageContext ctx) throws AxisFault {

        SOAPEnvelope msgEnvelope = ctx.getEnvelope();
        SOAPHeader msgHeader = msgEnvelope.getHeader();

        Iterator theDescendants = msgHeader.getDescendants(true);
        while(theDescendants.hasNext()){

            Object o = theDescendants.next();

            if(o instanceof org.apache.axiom.om.impl.dom.ElementImpl){

                ElementImpl ele = (ElementImpl)o;
                String eleNodeName = ele.getNodeName();

                if("ds:CanonicalizationMethod".equals(eleNodeName) || "ds:Transform".equals(eleNodeName)){
                    Node aNode = ele.getElementsByTagName("ec:InclusiveNamespaces").item(0);
                    if(aNode != null){
                        ele.removeChild(aNode);
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        return InvocationResponse.CONTINUE;
    }
}

As long as you're passing in your updated Axis2.xml into your ConfigurationContext, which then gets passed into your service stub, you should be good to go.
Here are some references I used for learning about phases:

I hope this helps at least one other person out =D

CFPB Closes Online Lending Fintech for Violating ECOA and CFPB Consent Order
On December 21, an online lending fintech agreed to a stipulated final judgment with the CFPB to resolve a September 2021 complaint alleging that the company deceived consumers and violated the Equal Credit Opportunity Act ("ECOA") (we discussed this complaint in an earlier Consumer Finance & FinTech Blog post here). The stipulated final judgment prohibits the company from making new loans, collecting on outstanding loans to harmed consumers, selling consumer information, and making misrepresentations when providing loans or collecting debt or helping others that do so. The company also agreed to a $40,500,000 suspended monetary judgment, and a $100,000 civil penalty based on its limited ability to pay.
The September 2021 complaint alleged that the company had made misrepresentations to consumers by advertising that borrowers who repaid loans on time and took free online courses would receive lower interest rates on future loans and access to larger loan amounts. This turned out to be untrue for tens of thousands of borrowers who failed to qualify for larger loan amounts and continued to be offered similar or higher interest rates compared to previous loans.
Based on these allegations, the CFPB alleged that the company deceived consumers about the benefits of repeat borrowing and violated a 2016 CFPB order that prohibited the company from mispresenting the benefits of borrowing from the company. The CFPB also alleged that the company violated the ECOA and Regulation B by failing to provide timely adverse-action notices within 30 days for over 7,400 loan applicants and issuing over 71,800 adverse-action notices that failed to accurately describe the main reason for the company denial of loan applications.
Putting in Into Practice: This one-sided resolution shows the significant risks for FinTech companies that do not comply with consumer lending laws like the ECOA. FinTech companies, especially newer lending companies, should take care to maintain compliance with relevant laws, especially if they have been subject to enforcement actions in the past.

Q: Correct way to use background-image with local file html/css I am trying to add a background image to a simple site I am trying to make, but get a 404 error on the image and no background when I try to use the local jpg file I downloaded. However when I use a link from an image on the web the image appears correctly.
Here is my file structure for the code:
website/
     run.py
     project/
        __init__.py
        routes/
             home.py
        templates/
             layout.html
             homepage.html
             img/
                image.jpg

Here is the code I am trying to run to get the image to show as the background in homepage.html:
  <head>
    <title>Welcome!</title>

    <style type="text/css">
      body{
       background-image: url('/img/image.jpg');
       min-height: 100%;
       background-size:100%
      }
    </style>
  </head>

I have tried all these variations on the url but none have worked for displaying the background:
background-image: url('/img/image.jpg');
background-image: url("/img/image.jpg");
background-image: url(/img/image.jpg);
background-image: url('/website/project/templates/img/image.jpg');
background-image: url("/website/project/templates/img/image.jpg");
background-image: url(/website/project/templates/img/image.jpg);
background-image: url('project/templates/img/image.jpg');
background-image: url("project/templates/img/image.jpg");
background-image: url(/project/templates/img/image.jpg);

And pretty much every other combination of that filepath and quote options. I've even put in the filepath starting from my root directory, file:///Users/kyle/Desktop/programming/website/project/templates/img/image.jpg. This displays the image if I copy and paste it into my browser but not if I put it in the url field of the background image.
Keeping all the code the same, any image whose link I take from google works however but I would like to get a local image working if possible.

A: Try it without slash
background-image: url('img/image.jpg');

A: Try using flask's templating feature with the url_for function:
background-image: {{ url_for(image.jpg) }}
Read this post for referring to folders.

Q: How to create an sql query with dynamic filters in WHERE clause I'm currently on aws lambda/node js and my database is configured with rds/auroradb which uses the general mysql syntax. I have a frontend which has a table with multiple filters with dropdowns/checkboxes/sorting and more for which I'm trying to create a dynamic sql query which implements these filters/conditions in the WHERE clause of my query. What I'm looking for is a library that handles this for me easily.
What I've tried so far is a custom function that handles this for me. But this is causing a lot of issues and seems like an unreliable way to build queries dynamically.
const buildPatientQuery = (data) => {
  const queryBase = 'SELECT * FROM (patient as p JOIN patient_score as s ON p.patient_id=s.patient_id)';
  const { filters, sortBy } = data;
  let filterQuery = "WHERE";

  //Build query for dropdown and checkbox filters
  if (filters.length) {
    filters.map(item => {
      const { checkboxSelected, dropdownSelected, qf, fromToMode, individual, from, to, key } = item;
      if (qf) {
        console.log('Quick filter');
      }
      else {
        if (checkboxSelected) {
          if (queried) {
            console.log('Checkbox filter - queried');
          }
          else {
            console.log('Checkbox filter - not queried');
          }
        }
        else if (dropdownSelected) {
          //Check if range
          if (fromToMode) {
            filterQuery = `${filterQuery} AND ${key} BETWEEN ${from} AND ${to}`;
          }
          //Check if individual item
          else if (individual) {
            filterQuery = `${filterQuery} AND ${key}='${direction}'`;
          }
        }
      }
    });
  }
  else {
    filterQuery = ""
  }

  //Build query for sorting
  const { name, direction } = sortBy;
  const sortDirection = direction === "ascending" ? "ASC" : "DESC";
  filterQuery = `${filterQuery} ORDER BY ${name} ${sortDirection}`;

  //Return final query build
  return queryBase + " " + filterQuery;
}

module.exports = buildPatientQuery;

Fantasy Battles: The 9th Age has arrived
Moderators: Layne, The Dread Knights

Slave on the Altar
Fantasy Battles: The 9th Age has arrived, ushering in a new chapter for Miniature Fantasy Wargaming
On the 30th of April, 2016 the official ruleset for Fantasy Battles: The 9th Age was unveiled. The forever-free Rule Book, Magic Compendium and 16 Army Books are now available on the-ninth-age.com. These books represent the cumulative efforts of over 250 volunteer staff members and the input and playtesting from more than 5,000 fans, who were eager to help pick up the pieces after the scene crashed in summer of 2015.
The project was launched in Q3 of 2015 by a team led by the creators of the widly-adopted Swe-comp tournament balancing rules. With their cumulative decades of competitive wargaming experience serving as the guiding hand, and a palpable desire within the fantasy wargaming community, experienced tournament players form all over the world quickly lent their support to help create what has become a comprehensive, balanced, re-imaging of Fantasy Wargaming for a new age, if you will. This community of stalwarts persevered through a lengthy design and balancing phase, producing thousands of games worth of play-testing data that was compiled and used to inform more than seven book iterations. The result is a well balanced tournament-ready system.
Already The 9th Age has established itself as the tournament standard for competitive fantasy wargaming. As a beta, the Ninth Age has been played at innumerable games and Grand Tournaments worldwide and will be the ruleset for the European Team Competition (ETC) in May. In less than a year The 9th Age has experienced staggering growth and support from all reaches of the globe, filling a void in the rank & filefantasy war gaming scene.
Now that T9A offers a stable version, the game is increasingly accessible to gaming groups who balked at the rapid pace of updates in the early development phases.
Complete army books include three human factions, three elven factions, two dwarven factions, two undead factions, three beast-like factions and three monster-like factions. There are already future plans for several supplemental armies based on community demand. As there are no official miniatures for the 9th Age any model you own that you feel adequately represents a unit is completely legal under these rules, and always will be. For the first time YOU the player decide what your units look like.
Recently, The 9th Age announced Shield Wolf Miniatures would provide miniature support going forward. This is only the first of several partnerships with miniatures producers to come for the 9th Age.
So Join us in this Golden Age, download The 9th Age today!

526 Deep Lilac is rated 1.9 out of 5 by 13.
Nutrisse Ultra Color's shine-enhancing technology delivers an ultra-dazzling shiny violet. The rich colour cream seals the pigments deep within the hair fibre, for an ultra long-lasting hold.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Tashy from Not impressed at all! I was very excited to dye my hair this color but unfortunately the color did not show and it says it works on dark hair ... I am pretty disappointed.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Reviewer88 from DOESN'T turn out like the pictures I just dyed my light brown hair with this dye, and it didn't turn out at all.I was really excited to get close to the results it shows on the box... but nope. It's patchy and just looks dark reddish brown. Save your money and try a different brand.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Lana from Do not buy this product! I bought this colour excited to try it out. I should have read these reviews before hand. Unfortunately my hair doesn't look any different. The box mentions the colour will work on dark hair. My hair is a medium brown and this did nothing at all to my hair. I will never buy this product again.
Rated 2 out of 5 by Mini Bangs Girl from Turned My Hair Dark Burgandy, NOT Purple Turned my natural dark brown hair to a burgandy, reddish brown, NOT vibrant purple as indicated on the box. It is advertised as being effective for dark hair and while it did colour my hair (darker), it did not come out purple at all. There are some plum undertones if you really look for them but hardly. In the sunlight, my hair is just burgandy brown. I understand that the colour representation on the box won't necessarily be exact since it depends on your hair, but this product is advertised as being effective on dark hair. It should at least be noted that the colour as shown will truly only turn up on brightly bleached hair. On dark hair, it will turn into something completely different. This product did however, make my hair quite silky as well as give an even colour.
Rated 5 out of 5 by CrystaO from Beautiful colour I am very pleased with how my hair has turned out using Deep Lilac 526. The colour changes depending the lighting in the room or outside. However I am disappointed that I just found the last box where I live I hope the shelves get stocked soon!!!!
Rated 1 out of 5 by Rolo from Don't waste you money Saying it works on dark hair is a lie. Do not waste your money on this product. It did absolutely nothing to my hair and I wish I had come here to read the reviews before purchasing it. I even left it in for 35 minutes hoping the extra developing time would work on my grey hairs. Alas my dark brown hair is still dark brown. Also, three showers post dying my hair I don't think my hair should still REEK like hair dye.
Rated 4 out of 5 by ReReWe from Beautiful Colour This colour turns out very dark on me, but in daylight it totally looks the colour I was hoping for - a dark, deep violet. I also lost less hair and my hair felt much better compared to other boxed dyes I've used. The only issue I have with this product is that the colour fades out within 1&1/2-2 weeks and turns red on me. I use only professional, sulfate free shampoo (Joico for coloured hair), but it still fades.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nigmagal from Better than Olia Originally dyed my bleach blonde hair with the Olia purple dye and it turned into a patchy horror show. So my boyfriend picked up this one for me to use(as it was on sale). To hide the mess I had made. This dye covered everything the other dye left and it turned into a nice deep purple. Also my hair felt nicer after dying compared to the Olia dye, which is a huge plus.

20 Years Before the Mast: The Decemberists 20th Anniversary Tour 2021
August 15 • 7:00 pm—10:00 pm
« INDIGO GIRLS Look Long Tour 2021
For 20 years The Decemberists have been one of the most original, daring, and thrilling American rock bands. Founded in the year 2000 when singer, songwriter, and guitarist Colin Meloy moved from Montana to Portland, Oregon and met bassist Nate Query, keyboardist Jenny Conlee, and guitarist Chris Funk, The Decemberists' distinctive brand of hyperliterate folk-rock set them apart from the start with the release of their debut EP 5 Songs in 2001. After making their full-length debut with Castaways and Cutouts in 2002, the band signed with Kill Rock Stars for the release of the acclaimed albums Her Majesty the Decemberists (2003) and Picaresque (2005), which was produced by Chris Walla. The 2004 EP The Tain –an 18-minute single-track epic – made the band's grand creative ambitions clear.
Around this time the band's permanent line-up fell into place with the arrival of drummer John Moen, and they made the unexpected leap to Capitol Records for their first major label album in 2006. Fans' concerns of whether the band would alter their trademark sound quickly vanished when they delivered their most ambitious and audacious record to date in The Crane Wife, a song cycle produced by Walla and Tucker Martine (who would become a longtime creative partner) that added elements of '70s prog, hard rock and even quasi-disco to their palette. The album was met by wide acclaim from The New York Times, Rolling Stone, SPIN, Stereogum, and was named Best New Music by Pitchfork.
Three years later, The Hazards of Love – a full-length concept album based on Meloy's idea for a stage musical – was a Top 20 hit. In 2011, they topped themselves yet again with their first #1 album, The King Is Dead, which featured the GRAMMY-nominated song "Down By The Water." After their 2015 album What A Terrible World, What A Beautiful World, which included the #1 AAA radio hit "Make You Better," The Decemberists changed up their sound and explored new approaches to making music on their eighth studio album I'll Be Your Girl (2018) with producer John Congleton. NPR Music wrote "Every band needs to refresh and reconsider its sound sooner or later, no matter how sharp it's gotten over the course of a long career — even The Decemberists, a band whose records have always come bursting with verve… I'll Be Your Girl captures a collaborative spirit that keeps the band sounding vibrant and alive."
Over the past 20 years The Decemberists have toured the world, performed at countless major festivals, and even founded Travelers' Rest a festival of their own curation in Missoula, Montana. The band has appeared on The Simpsons, collaborated with Hamilton's Lin-Manuel Miranda, and released their own crowd-funded board game Illimat.
