Black Sabbath's Bill Ward Selling Gear
by Daniel Maarat on June 24, 2017
Bill Ward, the original and best drummer of Black Sabbath, is selling off all of the old drum kits and gear he no longer plays including over 150 kick drum heads he accumulated over the years. Ward says he only still plays his favorite stuff and is happy to see the rest of it go to drummers or collectors who will actually use or appreciate it.

Upcoming Black Sabbath Splatter Vinyl Boxed Set
by George Psalmanazar on June 22, 2017
Black Sabbath are releasing an upcoming splatter vinyl box set of their entire original first run of albums with Ozzy Osbourne performing vocals. Sound quality does not seem to be the name of the game for The Ten Year War as everyone with any experience listening to LPs on a big boy turntable setup knows that splatter vinyl almost always sounds terrible. Rather The Ten Year War is a collectible for obsessive-compulsive Sabbath maniacs and hipsters who will play and probably ruin the not very high-fidelity splatter discs on some cheap turntable from Amazon or Target.

Upcoming Black Sabbath Live DVD
Black Sabbath guitarist and primary composer Tony Iommi let loose in a recent interview that following the band's final The End tour, they spent three days recording footage for an upcoming live DVD according to Blabbermouth. Hopefully, the DVD will feature better better vocals from Ozzy Osbourne than the recent tour and cover a wider breadth of material than the limited set list of said tour. Hopefully, interviews will provide more insights and golden nuggets than Tony Iommi's erratic autiobiography.

Metal Will Never Die
by Staff on February 11, 2017
Online music magazine Perfect Sound Forever (nice job stealing the 1980s advertising slogan for the then new CD format) recently posted a piece entitled "Metal For the New Millennium" by an idiotic hipster named Cam Netland who said that metal was a limited music genre as result of being a "as an offset of rock music". Netland claims that metal became "more hardcore" as a result of the "radicalization" of other genres in this period citing staid examples such as Bad Brains (softened hardcore punk for idiotic affirmative action multi-culturalists) and Public Enemy (rap made into pop music with tough street gang lyrics to make suburban white jocks feel good about their short penises). He goes onto claim that metal is divided into many "micro-genres" and that the new millennium has seen the rise of many new ones such as what Neton terms Babymetal's grass-eater Japanese pop music, djent (random post-hardcore jazz fusion) Deafheaven's "blackgaze" (screamo pretending to be tough that is neither black metal nor shoegaze), and Vektor's random techno speed metal idiocy. Netland cites such turd non-metal albums as Mastodon – Leviathan (alternative rock), Converge – Jane Doe (post-hardcore math rock), and System of a Down – Toxicity (nu-"metal" which is in actuality of course rap rock).

N.W.O.B.H.M. Survivors
by Daniel Maarat on February 1, 2017
The New Wave of British Heavy Metal was the simultaneous, sudden emergence of hundreds of heavy metal bands in the United Kingdom in the late 1970s and early eighties. The NWOBHM was prompted by the collapse en masse of earlier hard rock bands and heavy metal originators. Led Zeppelin and other blues-based riff rock bands had collapsed into meandering stadium rock with only a couple listenable songs per record at best ("Achilles Last Stand" on Presence). Black Sabbath fell flat on their faces after Sabotage, making the meandering duo of Technical Ecstasy and Never Say Die. Punk declined from almost-progressive works as the The Stooges' Fun House to boy bands such as the Sex Pistols playing radio pop. Deep Purple regressed to playing what their former guitarist Ritchie Blackmore termed "Shoeshine music."

"C" Is For Average
by Stephen Cefala on August 10, 2016
Metal was born of the fusion of heavy rock, horror music, progressive rock and the nascent proto-punk movement. The history of rock is the history of rebellion and rule-breaking: from Friedrich Liszt making his strings break live at key moments on purpose, to Jerry Lee Lewis lighting the piano on fire, to the Beatles with their hairstyles and jackets which were radical for the time, to the Doors being suggestive on the Ed Sullivan show, through Hendrix burning his guitar, to Kiss being super-sexual and painting their faces, to Black Sabbath who sang about Satan and magic, to Metallica who combined neoclassical with thrash and had a hard-partying image, to Slayer's seemingly outright Satanism. Metal is about taking things one step further, breaking the rules and being unique. Not about following them.
Good music aims for a grade of "A" by experimenting and breaking the rules, but in doing so, takes the chance that it will get an "F." Think of good music as Icarus: he flies toward the Heavens (or in the case of metal: towards hell) aware he is taking a big chance. He may well crash and burn to the ground in pursuit of his musical ideals. It's a risk Icarus is willing to take.
Today we have way, way too many bands following all the rules of their genre, and not enough acts pressing ahead. When I look at my local scene it is clear that the bands who have stayed together a long while, while following the rules of their genre, are the bands who have been most successful. Most of these bands have decent music and are listenable. But its not stuff I want to listen to more than once, or see live more than once. This is the curse of local bands: competent, good at following trends, but not so good that they break out and become emblematic of those trends.

The Origins of Satanic Realization through Heavy Metal
by Daniel Maarat on May 21, 2016
Sludgecore band Agoraphobic Nosebleed threw a fit for publicity over a recent batch of Death Metal Underground's Sadistic Metal Reviews. Frontwoman Katherine Katz called us Fox News for our criticism of Agoraphobic Nosebleed's shrieking short woman over a drum machine shtick and our psychological speculation as to why Agoraphobic Nosebleed would even bother releasing such failure other than for commercial exploitation of a musically-ignorant hipster fan base craving reaffirmation of their modern liberalism. Katz even claimed that artists should be responsible for the extreme actions of others in response to satire and that some topics should be completely off lyrics. For her, everyone who listens to "Embryonic Necropsy and Devourment" will potentially commit feticide. This is incredibly hypocritical for a band who shared a member with Anal Cunt and wrote Frozen Corpse Stuffed with Dope.

Metal Versus Classical
by Staff on May 1, 2016
Article by Lance Viggiano
Metal, like nearly every form of contemporary western music, carries legacy traits from western classical music. Noting these inherited qualities and their contribution to metal's identity is a fruitful venture worth study. Yes, some artists such as Emperor created music that may as well have been performed by an orchestra. Nevertheless there is a distinct tendency among metalheads to validate metal through this heritage. The logic behind this is eloquent and simple: Classical maintains an esteemed position and metal retains compositional/artistic characteristics of classical; therefore metal is good (insert adjective for good: High Art, Quality, etc.). This does a disservice to metal however as it forsakes the baroque for the succinct while deriving much of its power from textural aesthetics. Metal needs to be qualified and judged according to its own merits.
Both forms of music arrange motifs according to an underlying narrative. The pathos of western classical music is derived out of experiments in harmony that attempted to imitate a well ordered and intricately planned cosmos. The composer embodies the role of the One God who conceives and executes a nature in which each of its parts cooperate in accordance with divine law or in the case of music: its score and story. Metal however is all about the riff; not just its position in the score but also the way it sounds and the way it feels. Downtuning a guitar, plugging it into a bass amp, and dialing the gain knob to its upper limit are not trivial or accidental decisions. The textural component gives the music body which allows for succinct motifs to achieve significance out of relative simplicity. On the other hand, classical must take on a "notey" characteristic to give the music weight. The roar of an ensemble is a force of its own, yet it is comparatively tame next to the bludgeoning delivered by an amplifier and a few pedals.
Classical entices the mind with intricate and ornate patterns while metal ignites the heart by delivering an unabashedly barbaric, vitriolic and brash force of will. With each occupying distinct but equally valid dimensions of the human experience – The mind and the heart, respectively – it becomes clear that using one to validate the other does a great disservice to each form of music. Unplug metal and survey its patterns next to classical and one will find that it sounds as if it was composed by intellectually immature children. Plug classical patterns into metal and one finds that the need to make tonal sacrifices to retain clarity while distilling patterns down so as to be performed by fewer instruments results in sterile powerless wank which exists without proper support.
The Romantic movement turned its gaze back to the primacy of nature from the perspective of the civilized man who took all of his habits of thought with him; retaining his clear, distinct abstract patterns and hard mental boundaries. He walks at a distance from the forest so as to keep his boots from the blemishing mud and his coat from the shearing thicket. The Romanticism of metal walks barefooted against the cold soil, barely managing to escape the weather but never the bonds of nature. His damp stone refuge is aerated by a primate musk so thick that the festering gobbets and searing tendons of his kill cannot penetrate it. The civilized man understands nature as an idea from which he is blissful detached and divinely endowed to understand while the uncivilized man understands nature as an irrational outpouring of desire against which his only freedom is attained by projecting his own will against the world. Each vantage point offers a unique view of the same landscape. From that summit the artistry of metal ought to be discussed and ultimately, loved.

Pureblood Albums – A 2013 Recap
Article by David Rosales
As another year ends and a new one begins, many "best of" lists pop up here and there, among them our own here at DMU. While others may be eager to know about what is ever new, we are more interested in what stands the test of time. Today we will look at some albums that were highlighted here as the foremost products of the year 2013, which was a year of renewal, great comebacks, startling discoveries and a general wellspring of inspiration. In the opinion of this writer, 2013 has been the best year for metal in the 21st century.
To start off, we shall pay respects to long-lasting acts with a black metal background, namely Graveland, Summoning and Burzum. While the last has left the metal camp for good, its approach and spirit is still very much enriched by the essence of the deepest metal infused with transcendental values. Summoning is still doing their thing, ever evolving, trying a different permutation of their unique style. Fudali's project has become the warrior at the frontlines of the strongest nationalism grounded in music that uplifts the heart with an authentic battle feeling (as opposed to those other bands playing funny-jumpy rock and acting all "dangerous").
Sôl austan, Mâni vestan is an ambient affair that uses short loops which revolve around clear themes in each track. The approach is a little formulaic, thereby limiting the experience with a feeling of repetition. However, as with many good works of art, this self-imposed canalization serves to speed the result in a direction. As with a lot of Burzum's work, this is a concept album that must be listened to as a whole. When this is followed and one stops looking for novelty and instead concentrates on the details that bring variation within the familiar landscape, the somewhat arduous experience brings great rewards once the summit is reached and the journey is taken more than once.
Something similar can be said of the slightly pop-minded Old Mornings Dawn. This effort by Summoning certainly lacks the density of their masterpiece, Dol Guldur, but is no less effective, although perhaps shallow. But what isn't shallow when compared to that masterpiece? As with every Summoning album, Old Mornings Dawn has a very separate personality, and in this case, it is one of heroism, light, regeneration and hope. Something that will never leave the band's trademark sound is the deep feeling of melancholy and longing for ruins.
Graveland materializes in Thunderbolts of the Gods one of their most warlike efforts to date in a smooth trajectory that has gone from rough-pagan to long-winded and epic to heroic war music. What raises this offering above others in Fudali's current trend is the awesome bringing forth of destructive energies mustered in the imposing drumwork. Gone are the clumsy rhythms of Cold Winter Blades and the redneckish tone of the (nonetheless great) album Following the Voice of Blood. This is the technically polished and spirit-infused summit of this face of Graveland.
One of the most deserving releases of 2013 was Black Sabbath's 13. More expectations could not have been placed on anyone else. Yet the godfathers of metal delivered like the monarchs they are: with original style, enviable grace, magnificent strength and latent power. Along with the last three albums just mentioned, this album shows itself timeless in the present metal landscape. It encompasses all that it is metal, and brings it back to its origin. This is an absolute grower which will age like the finest wine and is, in my opinion, the album of the year of 2013.
In 2013, Profanatica finally achieved amazing distinction with Thy Kingdom Cum, which can be considered the fully developed potential of what Ledney presented in the thoroughly enjoyable Dethrone the Son of God under the Havohej moniker. To say this is the natural outcome of Profanatica's past work is as true as it is misleading in its implications. This is not just a continuation of what the band was doing before, but a deliberate step, a clear decision in the clear change in texture quality that means the world in such minimalist music where a simple shift in technique or modal approach defines most of the character of the music.
Cóndor's Nadia was probably the hidden pearl of the year. Never mind the metaphor of the "diamond in the rough", there is nothing rough about this. It is polished, but it is hidden. The shy face of this beautiful lady is covered by a veil that turns away the unworthy, the profane! This is immortal metal artwork which to uninitiated eyes and ears seems but like the simple, perhaps even amateur, collection of Sabbathian cliches and tremolo excuses of an unexperienced band. The knowledgeable and contemplating metal thinker recognizes the Platonic forms under the disfigured shapes.
Imprecation's Satanae Tenebris Infinita and Blood Dawn by Warmaster draw our attention to the strong presence of a more humble but profoundly (though not obviously) memorable album and EP. These will stand the chance of time, but will not necessarily remain strong in the mind of a listener in a way that he feels compelled to come back to them often.
Dark Gods, Seven Billion Slaves by VON seemed more enticing at the time. It's definitely a solid release, but it is however a very thinly populated album with more airtime than content. Whatever content it has is also not particularly engaging. The enjoyability of this one is a much more subjective affair and like a soundtrack is more dependent on extra-musical input from the listener's imagination.
As delightful as the three heavy metal albums Argus Beyond The Martyrs, Blitzkrieg Back From Hell and Satan are, the intrinsic qualities of their selected subgenres makes them a difficult candidate for long-lasting and profound impact. That is not to say they have no lasting value. If anything, these are albums one can come back a thousand times and perhaps they will not grow that much, but they will never truly grow old.
Autopsy's Headless Ritual is one of the strongest yet most understated albums of the year. The extremely rough character of the music may contribute to how it carelessly it can be left behind. Fans of brutal music will find it little different from the rest and will quickly forget it. Fans of wider expressions and deeper thoughts will pass it by with little interest. Such is the tragedy of this very respectable album.
A few stragglers in this group; Master's The Witchhunt, Centurian's Contra Rationem, Derogatory's Above All Else, and Rudra's RTA proved to be more impact and potential than manifest presence. These will remain fun and quaint for a very occasional listen, perhaps even a sort of throwback feeling, but lacking the long-lasting impact of others in this list.
A special mention is deserved by Into the Pantheon, the essential synthesis of Empyrium, being their most revealing, powerful and clear release. While not outwardly metal, this live recording everything that is to be metal at the level of character and spirit. As such it is the perfect closing note for this recapitulation and reevaluation of past selections.

Apple restores the dedicated 'Store' tab to its website
INDIARIGHTNOW.COM August 4, 2021 2 min read
After going down briefly earlier today, Apple's website has returned with a new design that reintroduces a "Store" tab not unlike the one it removed nearly six years ago, MacRumors has reported. That leads to a dedicated buying section where customers can select from its product lineup, including iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and Apple TV. With the new tweaks, you'll no longer need to visit each product page and track down the "buy" button to see options or make a purchase.
Along with a horizontal list of products, the Store page shows the latest products, promotions, accessories and more. It now more closely resembles the Apple Store app, as MacRumors pointed out.
Clicking on a category like "iPhone" in the Store tab takes you to a carousel that shows all the current models available, like the iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12, iPhone SE and iPhone XR. Once you select a specific model like the iPhone 12 Pro, it takes you to the buy page for that item where you can start to select color, storage and other options. Previously, you would have needed to click on the iPhone product page, scroll down to find a specific model and click on the "buy" button.
Apple's website had a Store tab before the 2015 redesign, but it essentially shunted you to a completely different domain. The new design works differently: You still remain on the Apple.com site, and the Store tab simply gives you a different way of navigating to the buying section. A subtle change, but significant considering the enormous worldwide traffic to Apple's website.

Bears plan to keep Nagy, GM Pace for at least 1 more season
CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Bears plan to keep general manager Ryan Pace and coach Matt Nagy for at least another season.
The team opted against sweeping changes in leadership after the Bears slipped into the playoffs despite going 8-8 for the second year in a row, chairman George McCaskey said Wednesday.
The announcement comes on the heels of the Bears' wild-card loss at New Orleans on Sunday, their second playoff appearance in three years. Chicago won the NFC North at 12-4 in 2018 — Nagy's first season.
The Bears have two playoff appearances and a 42-54 regular-season record in six years under Pace, while Nagy is 28-20. They have not won in the postseason since the 2010 team played in the NFC championship game.
There was speculation Pace or Nagy could be on their way out when the Bears lost six in a row this season — their worst skid since 2002. Chicago regrouped by winning three straight against struggling teams before closing the regular season with a 35-16 loss to Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers.
The Bears made the playoffs because Arizona lost to the Los Angeles Rams. Chicago then got knocked out in convincing fashion by Drew Brees and the Saints.

Comparing and Contrasting Languages and Cultures
CoCoLaC workshop 'Digital Discourse Analysis and Corpus Linguistics'
CoCoLaC-Workshop April 5, 2019, 1 - 4 p.m.
Comparing and Contrasting Languages and Cultures /Research /
Text types and discourses
Coordinator: Hartmut Lenk and Enrico Garavelli
E-Mail: Hartmut.Lenk [at] helsinki.fi, Enrico.Garavelli [at] helsinki.fi
In the text types and discourses subgroup research has been focusing on linguistic aspects of mass media and literary texts. The methods vary from text linguistics and discourse analysis to pragmatic and philological approaches.
A core area of linguistic media research has been the contrastive analysis of different text types (short news; leading articles, commentaries and their headlines; interviews; squibs; chats; reviews of opinions in other media; real estate advertisements; metaphors in discourse on immigration as well as lonely hearts ads).
The most important difference between Finnish and German journalistic text types is to be found in the argumentative structures of leading articles, e.g. in their headlines. The possible punch line of commentaries and squibs may also differ according to their importance and function. The prosodic analysis of French radio interviews and lectures has focused on the use of marked figures as means of the contextualization of speech. Descriptions of the Spanish Civil war have been examined from a typological point of view.
Within the project Social Deixis: Terms of address as a mirror of societal transformations in the Romance languages area, financed by the University of Helsinki (2005-2007), one doctoral dissertation, several Master's theses, conference papers and articles have been completed on the use of terms of address in three present-day Romance languages.
The focus of philological research is on the 16th century. In addition to text editions (e.g. a play belonging to the national edition of Aretino's works; a Spanish manual for midwives), the transmission of literary works via translations and plagiarisms has been studied. Together with traditional approaches, the investigation of internal variants within early printed texts has yielded interesting results concerning e.g. censorship in the Medici principality.

MetLife, a nonbank financial company (NFC) and the largest insurer in the U.S., called for a hearing Monday to oppose being labeled "systemically important." After the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC), a major financial watchdog, voted in favor of adding MetLife to the list of systemically important financial institutions (SIFIs) in September, the firm hustled to pull together its top executives and fight the proposal. Being labeled a SIFI will mean tighter regulations and precise oversight for the company.
SIFIs are institutions that have acquired over $50 billion in total worldwide assets and pose adverse consequences to the financial system should they fail. However, the FSOC has put into place rules that allow it, under certain circumstances, to designate other NFCs as systemic, regardless of the $50 billion curb. While numerous large regional banks are automatically labeled as SIFIs, it is not as common for nonbank NFCs. Under the Dodd-Frank Act, the FSOC is in charge of determining which NFCs should be designated as SIFIs.
NFCs that receive the classification become subject to prudential standards and must comply under the supervision of the Federal Reserve Board, which determines the exact regulations that will be put into place.
In an FS Regulatory Brief, the FSOC defended its belief that some NFCs with significant economic influence should be labeled as SIFIs by making three major points: "the federal banking regulators are truly calling the shots; banking is not the only financial services industry that is interconnected and systemic; and, most importantly, size really does matter." Suffice it to say, financial watchdogs, such as the FSOC, are worried that too many insurers have their hands in risky activities and must be regulated to prevent overexposure to risk.
The first three NFCs to be designated systemically important by the FSOC were American International Group, Prudential Financial and GE Capital, in 2013. It was proposed in September that MetLife be added to the list.
The insurer immediately called for "a written and oral evidentiary hearing to contest." Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Steve Kandarian stated that "MetLife is not systemically important under the Dodd-Frank Act criteria" and explicitly disavowed the preliminary designation.
Monday marked the first in-person meeting between top regulators and the insurer, where MetLife made its final plea for the Council to repeal its proposal. Although it was a closed-door meeting, Kandarian and lawyer Eugene Scalia were reportedly in attendance.
Eugene Scalia, son of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, has a successful track record for fighting other major regulatory decisions by government agencies. As a partner at the Gibson Dunn L.L.P. law firm, Scalia will serve as a fierce ally should MetLife decide to take the case to court.
Unlike rivals Prudential Financial and GE Capital, who took the systemic designation relatively easily, MetLife has publicly fought the proposal since the moment officials caught wind of it. Kandarian quickly retaliated with a statement he issued declaring that MetLife was a stronghold during the financial crisis of 2008, not an NFC causing severe risk. As a company that serves nearly 100 million customers in approximately 50 countries and is dominant in markets in the U.S., Japan, Europe, Asia and Latin America, Kandarian fears that if MetLife has to comply with these tougher regulations, consumers may become financially threatened due to potential product price increases.
The Council will have sixty days post-Monday's meeting to come to a decision on the designation, at which time MetLife may appeal in court if it is determined to be systemic.
MetLife's concerns are understandable and the FSOC should be well informed before it makes any decisions. We shouldn't want the government to bailout a full catalogue of financial institutions again as it did in the crisis of 2008-2009, spending more than $200 billion on bailouts for the institutions alone. Furthermore, having a financial system with colossal institutions that get themselves into risky investments and fail, pulling a significant portion of the economy down with them, is probably not on anyone's wish list. On the contrary, allowing the government to regulate the insurance sector too much could thwart our free enterprise system that allows for competitively priced financial protection.

Does he normally hide under things? Too bad furniture doesn't provide any natural camouflage. Is Brychwyn wearing a boot on one foot?
Brychwyn always goes under chairs when we are in public but this particular occasion he is at the vet for an abscess on his foot.
Someone doesn't want to be found - BOL!
He did come out to see the tech and the doctor but then went directly back to his safe hiding place!
Have a wonderful wordless Wednesday.
Great photos, Happy Wordless Wednesday.
These pictures are great! Is Brychwyn a corgi? Those eyes are hypnotic.
He loves to mesmerize people with his eyes! And, yes, he is a cardigan corgi.
Wow! What a striking corgi, drop dead gorgeous. I'm not sure I've ever seen one like that. I'd love to see puppy pictures too!
I haven't put puppy pictures of anyone up on the blog yet... Someday!
It looks like somebody is at the vet and doesn't want to be seen...I know that look.
The emergency vet has a particularly bad vibe (lots of critical cases) so Brychwyn was extra expressive about his dislike of being there.
Haha! Someone looks unimpressed in that first shot! Can't get enough of those ears - so cute!
Love his facial expressions, he doesn't look very happy to be there! The vet is never fun :( Hope his foot is healing well!
I love that first photo, such a unique perspective!
Hope the paw is OK and getting better.
Haha, I love the first picture! Sneaking up on you!
Hm...were you at the Vet's office? Cause I totally understand hiding the tush there!! ;-) I see that your paw was hurt..I hope that you are feeling much better now!! Happy Wednesday!
Uh...Brychwyn...you do realize I can still see you, pal. BOL Happy Wednesday!
Those eyes say, "I do not trust you." Hope the foot in on the mend!
I was going to guess that he was hiding under the chairs at the vet. He's got that "I really don't want to be here. If I make myself small, maybe they won't see me" look on his face. Hope his foot is better!

(NewsUSA) - The world's largest celebration of opportunity in education starts next week.
National School Choice Week 2018 begins on January 21, shining a positive spotlight on traditional public schools, public charter schools, public magnet schools, private schools, online academies, and homeschooling.
The goal is simple: to let parents know that they have choices when it comes to their children's education, and to celebrate the many different and effective education options available for students.
For almost every parent in America, there are ways to get involved in this positive, inspirational week.
If you are looking to find a new school for your child and want to know how to start the process, use the Week as a time to research your options. Download a free school choice guide for your state at schoolchoiceweek.com/mystate.
If you want to learn more about the different schools and education environments in your area, consider using the week to attend a special event. More than 32,000 are being planned during National School Choice Week - everything from information sessions, school fairs, and open houses, to rallies. Find an event in your community by visiting schoolchoiceweek.com/map.
If you are happy with the choices you have made for your child's education, take time during National School Choice Week to thank a teacher or school leader, or to brag about your child's school in a letter to the editor of your local newspaper. You can also share your story with us at schoolchoiceweek.com/share.
If you think that your community or state needs more educational choices for children, use National School Choice Week to speak up and make your opinion known.
Making a difference is easier than it sounds. All it takes is starting one conversation.
You can start that conversation on social media (using #schoolchoice in your posts), or by talking with a friend, coworker, or member of your family.
"Did you know that this is National School Choice Week?" is a good question to get the discussion going.
When more Americans talk about opportunity in education, more parents will discover the options available for their children's education. That means that more children will have the chance of being matched with schools that meet their unique talents, challenges, needs, and interests.
This National School Choice Week, all that it takes is one conversation to brighten the future of a family. Will you start one?

Pearly Dewdrops' Drops (Cocteau Twins)
https://www.jonkutner.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Pearly-Dewdrops-Drops1.mp3
Most acts who call themselves Twins generally, and logically, consist of two people. The Thompson Twins broke that rule when the trio turned up on the charts in 1982. The only other 'Twins' who were not a duo were the Cocteau Twins although their story is a bit more logical as they started as a duo and only became a trio two years later.
The nucleus of the band started in 1979 by guitarist Robin Guthrie and original bass player Will Heggie. Both were from Grangemouth in Scotland and one night when the pair were at a disco they met Elizabeth Fraser who would eventually be invited to join as their vocalist. They all had a love of the same bands and artists that they claim all influenced them, those acts being The Sex Pistols, Siouxsie & the Banshees, Simple Minds and Kate Bush. The New Musical Express once described the Cocteau Twins as Kate Bush meets Joy Division so you can see why.
They took their name from a Johnny & the Self Abusers song called The Cocteau Twins. That band eventually renamed themselves Simple Minds and that song was later rewritten as No Cure.
They came in for critical praise because of Fraser's distinctive soaring vocals often indecipherable, a writer at Allmusic once said that, "Part of her appeal is how she can make hard-to-interpret lyrics so emotionally gripping."
In 1983 Will Heggie left to join a new up-and-coming band called Lowlife. Later the same year, having signed to 4AD records, the remaining members were invited to participate, with label-mate This Mortal Coil, that featured guitarist Simon Raymonde, which spawned a minor hit with a haunting cover of Tim Buckley's Song to the Siren.
Following that collaboration, Raymonde then joined the Twins completing their permanent line up. "I was always a fan of the Cocteau Twins, before I joined," recalled Raymonde. "I hear what people say about them being, mystical and all that stuff. I never thought that then, I just thought, brilliant music, really exciting. I never thought in a million years that I'd be a member. I had known Robin and Liz for a while through Ivo who was in This Mortal Coil, and travelled around with all 4AD people to see shows all over Britain. Then while working in an 8-track studio in Camden, I invited Robin and Liz over to make use of the studio while the boss was off on holiday. One thing very naturally led to another and Robin and I wrote a song together, which was released as Millimillenary on The Pink Opaque. After, I went back to writing music at home, until I got a call from Robin and Liz asking if I fancied going to Scotland for a week to write some songs. The rest, as they say, is history…"
The addition of Simon certainly meant additional studio experience and technique. A good example of which is the opening to their next single Pearly Dewdrops' Drops — a cascading snare-through-reverb cadence punctuated with chimes and a full-bodied bass rhythm. Robin returns to more textured guitars for the most part.
John Peel became one of their biggest fans and championed all their music. Pearly Dewdrops' Drops, you can be assured is not about toothpaste or something hanging out of your nose, but more likely a sexual reference, but as The Cocteau Twins are generally uncomfortable in interviews and also on stage, they've never said too much about it. They even refused permission for Smash hits to print the lyrics in their magazine.
In 1984 a writer at the NME reviewed the track saying, 'What you can say about the song is that it gives a clearly subjective image, one which both allows the listener the freedom to impress upon it his or her own thoughts and feelings and at the same time creates are certain timelessness to the overall sound. Who can't imagine how a 'pearly-dewdrops' drop' might appear? Liz's voice, in keeping with Sunburst is loud and expressive, and her lyrics tease the listener with vague clarity and obscure symbols, often only audibly giving away nothing more than the song titles in the course of her singing.'
Throughout her career, Liz has time and again been questioned about her inspiration for her lyrics, and often has had little to say, but in a rare interview in 1984, she said, "When the band started, I began reading books a lot more, and I get most of my inspiration for lyrics through them. I can't get inspiration from seeing things, I can only get excited by images—things that are conjured up. I think I'm also more interested in the way words sound and what you can do if you say words in different ways than in what the words themselves actually mean. I can't really say which authors or books have influenced me and I can never remember names, but it's really just certain groups of words and the way they sound."
The accompanying video was the single was directed by Nigel Grierson. It features the band walking around and inside a large church with some interesting (for the time) cinematic effects. The images tend to be blurred at times, with some slow-motion fades and montages. The band was not very happy with the video in the end, feeling that it didn't adequately represent the music and was much more promotional in nature than they would have preferred.
The band released a further 12 hit singles of which only three made the top 40, Evangeline (1993), Bluebeard (1994) and Tishbite (1996). Two years later Liz decided to leave the band for a solo career. She was also appeared as a guest vocalist on various artists' tracks and in 1999 was invited by Peter Gabriel to lend her spectacular voice to the UK's Millennium Dome Project.
Robin now works and lives in France with his wife, Florence, and their two children while Simon continues to focus a great deal of energy on his Bella Union Record label and its stack of new artists. He has collaborated with other groups, including the Autumns and the Czars, while continuing to pursue his own musical interests.
In 2009, their song Alice was used in Peter Jackson's film The Lovely Bones and they even gave permission for Pearly Dewdrops' Drop to be included in The Perks of Being a Wallflower soundtrack in 2012.

Works for: Most shrubs and trees; perennials, groundcovers, some annuals.
Look for: Healthy foliage and strong shoots. Avoid leggy or root- bound plants (with roots protrud- ing above the container's soil level or growing through the drain- age holes). To remove plants from 1-gallon or larger plastic containers, tap sharply on the bottom and sides to loosen the rootball. The plant should slide out easily. With fi ber or pulp pots, tear the pot away from the rootball, taking care not to damage the roots.
Works for: Perennial vegeta- bles such as artichoke and aspar- agus; deciduous cane berries, strawberries, fruit trees, roses, and some ornamental trees.
Look for: Bare-root plants with strong stems (no leaves) and fresh-looking, well-formed roots. Avoid any with slimy roots or dry, withered ones. Bare-root plants are sold in late winter and early spring by retail nurseries and mail-order companies. They typi- cally cost only 40 to 70 percent as much as the same varieties purchased in containers later in the year. Plant them as soon as possible after purchase—ideally, right away.
Works for: Woody plants whose root systems won't survive bare-root transplanting, and fi eld- grown evergreens such as rhodo- dendrons, some conifers.
Look for: Healthy foliage and an even branching structure. The covering should be intact and the roots unexposed; the rootball should feel fi rm and moist. Balled-and-burlapped (B-and-B) plants are dug from the fi eld with a ball of soil around their roots; the soil ball is then wrapped in burlap or a synthetic material and tied with twine or wire. When mov- ing the plant, support the bottom of the rootball.
1. DIG A PLANTING HOLE twice as wide as the rootball and as deep, leaving a central plateau of fi rm soil 1 to 2 inches tall at the bottom of the hole. Roughen the hole's sides with a spading fork.
2. SET THE PLANT IN THE HOLE, spreading its roots over the soil plateau. The top of the rootball should be 1 to 2 inches above the surrounding soil. Backfi ll with the soil you dug from the hole, forming the soil around the roots with your hands.
3. MAKE A BERM OF SOIL to form a watering basin. Irrigate gently. Spread mulch around the plant, keeping it several inches away from the stem.
1. DIG A PLANTING HOLE that is about the same depth as the plant's roots and twice as wide as it is deep. Shape a fi rm cone of soil in the bottom; make it tall enough so the plant's crown will be slightly above the soil line. Roughen the hole's sides.
2. HOLD THE PLANT IN PLACE while you spread the plant's roots over the soil cone; then backfi ll the hole with more soil.
3. WATER THE PLANT to settle in the soil. Fill in the hole with more soil; then water. Spread mulch around the plant, keeping it several inches away from the stem or trunk.
1. MEASURE THE ROOTBALL from top to bottom. Dig the plant- ing hole a bit shallower than this distance, so that the top of the rootball will be about 2 inches above the surrounding soil.
2. UNTIE THE COVERING. If it's burlap, it will eventually rot, so just spread it out to uncover about half the rootball. If it's synthetic mate- rial, remove it entirely. If the plant needs staking, do it now.
3. FILL THE HOLE WITH SOIL to within 4 inches of the top. Water gently. Continue to fi ll the hole, fi rming the soil as you go. Form a watering basin; then water the plant.


Karma-Lab has introduced Reincarnated - Groove Nirvana, a new set of 32 KARMA-fied combis for the Korg Kronos and Korg OASYS. The sound set includes grooves and sonic textures in a wide variety of styles, ranging from a mixture of Hip-Hop, Dance, Electronica, Trance & Techno categories to Ambient, Jazz, New-Age, Film Score, and World/Ethnic categories. Previously released for the M3 and M50, the set has now been brought to the Kronos and OASYS as well, taking advantage of the multiple synth engines and increased polyphony and effects capabilities.
Reincarnated joins Catalyst (a previously released sound set) in pushing the KARMA function to the absolute limit. Each combi is composed of 4 complete KARMA Modules and 8 fully-voiced scenes for maximum variability, featuring extensive control via the KARMA Realtime Controls (8 sliders, 8 switches) and the other controllers (joystick, ribbon, vector joystick, 8 RT knobs, and 2 switches over joystick). In addition, the Kronos version's Drum Track has been programmed to add an additional complementary percussion or drum element in every combi.
Karma-Lab tells us that, programmed by Scott Raposa and KARMA developer Stephen Kay, the set represents hundreds of hours of work over the last year, yet is priced at only $1 per combi. They say that Reincarnated includes a 71-page User's Guide that provides meticulous documentation on each combi in addition to hundreds of tips and tricks on how to get the most out of each Performance.
Karma-Lab president Stephen Kay told Sonic State, "As the inventor of KARMA Technology, nobody programs KARMA to the degree that we do. If you want big, bold, full, robust KARMA combis with inspiring and intricate parts that have 8 full scenes of completely different variations, each capable of driving the creation of new song ideas, then these are the sets for you."

In the eighth century BC this area was a settlement, and the ancient Rhegion was one of the first Greek colonies in southern Italy. It's certainly one of the oldest towns in Europe, and in the third millennium BC it was inhabited by indigenous peoples as the Ausoni and the Itali. Today Reggio is the largest and most populous city in Calabria, rich in history and culture, a city of art. The real wealth of Reggio Calabria is its artistic and cultural heritage formed across an ultra ancient history. Discover the magnificent cathedral dedicated to Saint Lady Maria Assunta and the remains of the Aragonese Castle built around 536 A.D. by the Belisario's Byzantines, and later remodeled and equipped with powerful towers during the Aragonese period. Reggio Calabria is a city full of art houses and museums. The most famous is the National Archeological of Ancient Greece, which displays numerous archaeological findings coming from excavations in the entire region, including the famous "Riace Warriors" o "Riace bronzes", symbol of the city and of the entire region. We also recommend a walk on the beautiful Reggio's promenade, where you can find several cafes for a drink or a delicious slushy.

Editorial: Positive Rapper Wins B.U.R.N.'s New "Mandela Of Rap" Award
The Black University Radio Network (B.U.R.N.) is very proud to announce that they have named Marcus "M-Positive" Parker (pictured above) as the first-ever winner of the "Mandela of Rap" award.
B.U.R.N. has created the "Mandela of Rap" award in an effort to promote musicians who seek to inspire today's youth through positive messages in their music. The award was created as an answer to the cries of many African-Americans who feel that the overall vibe of today's rap music is having a negative impact on today's youth, particularly minorities.
Winners of the "Mandela of Rap" award will not necessarily be artists with the most material success, but rather artists who are giving back to the world by making music to influence positive change. While there has been plenty of attention focused on the negative impact of rap music, B.U.R.N. seeks to take a stand by promoting the artists who are dedicating themselves towards motivating young people in society.
B.U.R.N. will recognize artists on a national level who use their music to promote education and positive growth. The award will be presented annually during Black History month. In addition to the tremendous national exposure that accompanies the award, winners of the "Mandela of Rap" receive an HBCU marketing package worth over $5,000, and a tour/ meet-and-greet on over 40 university campuses.
The official announcement will broadcast on the Direct EFX college radio program on February 18, 2014. Other artists to be spotlighted include Skipp Coon, Dead Prez, and Asheru. "These artists have also gone above and beyond to wave the flag of consciousness in hip hop music," stated B.U.R.N. CEO LaMarr Blackmon.
Parker is a fitting choice for the award after setting the bar for motivation in rap music. He has performed his motivational rap tunes at schools, churches, and youth events across the country. Parker started his relationship with B.U.R.N. back in 2005 with the release of his first motivational rap song called "Product Of Adversity", an uplifting ballad which paid tribute to the unsung heros of our society; single mothers, fathers, teachers and grandparents.

This is a beautiful and well-executed piece of work. You have filled a need expressed by so many users, and I think you are going to make many, many people very happy. Thank you.
That's an amazing amount of work, Marvin. Many thanks indeed.
Thank you, I appreciate it very much.
Incredible work ve2cjw, thank you so much for taking the time to compile this document.
Skill Level: Beginner, digital photography, digital editing, lighting.
My hat is off to you. Splendid work and great generosity!
Glad after having spent many hours of reading help (not finished yet) and many hours of viewing all the videos I can find I found this link in the Forums which I had not come to having been so busy trying to learn Affinity I did get the pdf onto my phone as I hope to spend time reading in in a few hours while my wife is being checked out by the folks who will do her cataracts. I did a quick check of topics as I have one thing I have not been able to find and that is text information primarily how to change the color of a text. I normally only need to add my signature to a photo but don't want to use a default black but can't find how to do it and did not see any title for text in your pdf but I will start reading it in a couple hours. If there is something it would be great to know its location.
Thanks ve -- I agree about the help file. I was also used to another program that simply offered a color selection along with the font etc much like a Wordpad or Word or other text creating program offers and then also found and was given some advice on to use the "save" feature under Edits >defaults to make sure I don't always have to set both the font and the color each time I simply want to add my signature.
I have not looked at your pdf on my computer so can't be sure if one can jump to a particular section of the contents pages but I did find that I could not using either of 2 pdf readers that I have on my Android phone. If you know of a reader that does it, provided the option is there that would be great. I find things a bit difficult too as when I make the text large enough for me to see, then I have to do a lot of scrolling to see all of the text whereas if the text fit the width of the screen and then just took more lines to be read, it would be easier.
Really do appreciate all the work and I definitely will be getting to the .pdf shortly as I am almost through all my initial viewing of videos and am categorizing some that I have not seen or duplicating the links in different relevant folders on my system. Still have a bit of the help file to go through also.
Wish the help file would provide more assistance as to how to do some things as opposed to simply stating what things do. Also it would be nice to be given reasons to and why a task should be performed under what specific conditions.
Thanks again for the great work.
The work you have done for all of us is phenomenal. I have a quick suggestion, if and when you update the pdf file. Put a Cover Page on the pdf, so that it is easily identifiable in the Mac Finder (with a thumbnail preview); on an iPad (where, in Grid View, the thumbnail is visible but not the title); and, I presume, in Windows Explorer as well (although I do not routinely use Windows).
This is a wonderful piece of work. A graphic-based Cover Page would enhance it ever so much. Thanks in advance!
Ve2cjw,is this a PDF of the content of help pages?
ve -- I did not that in a few spots where I guess the Help file used some icons, those did not show up in the text so the reader can't be sure what item was referred to in the .pdf. I also noticed that there were a few times where there was some duplication of text and I am only on about page 91 of the 644 (this being how my pdf reader shows the page numbering). I am working on it plus spending some time doing some editing and being thankful to all those participating in advancing my knowledge of Affinity Photo.
Is there a pdf manual for Affinity Designer as well?
The one we wrote and have copyright on... Did you ask permission?
Serif still have copyright on it from what I can see. Do Photo users not have 'fair use' of the html help file contents?
I assume that rather like having an mp3 I paid for I could copy it for use in my car off my mp3 player.
Is this not the same position?
I would also assume some prospective purchasers, in the absence of a current Windows AP beta to download, would welcome some searchable and thorough insight into key features they may require.
I'm not trying to speak for Serif but one difference between that and an mp3 you copied for use in your car is that you didn't just copy the PDF for your use; you shared it with other people. Like me. And I appreciated having it but I'll be glad to delete it if Serif wishes.
Retreat to the forest Robin of Loxley, before The Serif of Nottingham catches you.

This paper addresses the issue of how science and history of science may help or be helped by Vedic studies. The conclusions drawn are that: 1. Vedic studies are important for the history of Indian science; 2. Modern science, in particular physics, is not a useful source of philosophical ideas that confirm aspects of Vedic studies; 3. Vedic studies will not contribute to modern scientific research; and 4. Vedic studies are nevertheless centrally important for an understanding of Indian history and (...) culture in general.

Hello everyone, my name is Dylan Kahle. I have lived in Humboldt County my entire life and am currently enrolled at Humboldt State University studying Environmental Resources Engineering. I enjoy playing basketball and surfing, and pretty much any other outdoor sport. I have wanted to be an Environmental Engineer since I was a sophomore in high school. My email address is dvk4 humboldt edu or nik3ologist yahoo com. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, thanks, peace.
I am currently an engineering student at Humboldt State University, in the past i have built many small projects, including a solar powered water heater and shower, also i have installed water systems and rain water collection tanks. In spring 2011 I took an Engineering 215 course at Humboldt State University. For our group project our design team built a solar dehydrator which kids can build with adult supervision.
This section contains a compilation of engineering documents I have made so far. Below you will find examples of a professional memo, an excel spreadsheet, a Google SketchUp model, a Auto-CAD model, a Gantt chart, and a collarobative design document.

Instead of using fuel oil to heat your home, try to make a switch to biodiesel. Many systems can use biodiesels without any modification. Bio-diesel fuels burn more efficiently and cleaner than conventional petroleum- based fuel oil.
To conserve energy and save money, only run the dishwasher when you have a full load. Don't run it with only a few things. With a little effort, you will be amazed by how much you can fit in one load. Line up the same types of dishes, such as plates and cups so you are filling it completely.
Do not neglect your ceiling fans during http://www.cooperwheelocku.com/content/public/en/bussmann/wireless/resources/distributor_locatornew.html the winter. With a clockwise rotation, they can be used to circulate the air and help the warm air come down. This will help the room feel warmer and the heater will not be used as much. Running your fans is less costly than leaving your furnace on all the time.
As was mentioned at the start of this article, green energy has garnered quite a bit of interest in the media and amongst everyday people. Sadly, some people aren't sure how they can implement green changes to live a more sustainable life. This article provided suggestions for environmentally concerned and compassionate http://www.globalwarming.org/ people.


A fascinating and rare 9,000-year-old stone mask that dates to the Neolithic period sheds new light on ancient life in the Holy Land.
Israeli archaeologists recently discovered a fascinating and rare 9,000-year-old stone mask that dates to the Neolithic (new stone age) period, one of only 15 in the world.
The mask was seized and recovered at the beginning of 2018 by the Israel Antiquities Authority's (IAA) Theft Prevention Unit.
A subsequent investigation revealed that the mask was likely found at the archaeological site in the Pnei Hever region of southern Har Hebron.
Its characteristics, in addition to other findings from the contexts in which it was discovered, testify that the mask is 9,000 years old, dating to the Pre-Pottery Neolithic B period.
The mask is made of pinkish-yellow limestone, carefully shaped with stone tools to resemble a human face. Four holes were drilled along the perimeter of the mask, probably in order to tie it to a person's face or possibly to a pole or another designated artifact where it could be displayed.
Ritual findings from this period include human-shaped figurines, plastered skulls, and stone masks. Ancestor worship was also practiced during this period.
Stone masks, such as the one from Pnei Hever, are similar in size to the human face, which is why scholars tend to connect them with ancestor worship, she explained.
There are currently 15 known masks dating back to that period. Except for roughly two, there is no indication regarding the archaeological sites from where they originated.
The remaining masks are in private collections throughout the world, which makes them more difficult to study.
The importance of this newly discovered mask stems from the fact that it has been traced to an archaeological site that can be studied. The site could help researchers understand the culture in which the mask was produced.
Discovering the mask from Pnei Hever strengthens the assumption that the southern Hebron Hills area was a center for producing stone masks, most likely for ritual activities, in the Pre-Pottery Neolithic B period.
