1985 – Part 5
August 25, 2020 destroyerofharmony1985, Autograph, Keel, Kick Axe, Megadeth, Savatage 12 Comments
Megadeth – Killing Is My Business
My relationship with Megadeth started with the "Rust In Peace" album in 1990. That was a wow moment for me, in relation to song construction, guitar playing and pushing the boundaries of thrash metal even further and more progressive.
So I started collecting more Megadeth albums. "So Far So Good So What" and then "Countdown To Extinction" was released. Then I went back to "Peace Sells" and then "Youthanasia" came out.
Then I went back to the debut, and it was the mid 90's. And I thought it was average. I couldn't hear a song that I liked but each song had sections/riffs which got me interested. And it infuriated me.
I suppose that's what you get, when you spend half of your $8K recording budget on drugs and alcohol and then had to fire the producer because you couldn't afford him, which meant you had to produce the album.
"Loved To Deth" has this open string pull off riff that I like. "Killing Is My Business" is the NWOBHM movement on steroids and speed and other hallucinogens. The first 90 seconds of "The Skull Beneath The Skin" is groove metal mixed with speed. "Rattlehead" is so fast, it's a speed metal anthem.
Whatever Metallica was, Megadeth was going to be faster and more aggressive.
"Chosen Ones" has this "Jump In The Fire" style riff and it's probably their slowest song. "Mechanix" is 4 minutes of relentless anger. And I'm sure everyone knows that this song became "The Four Horseman" when Mustaine was in Metallica. When he played it live with Megadeth at a Sydney concert he merged the two songs and it was a perfect homage to both.
And Mustaine didn't want to sing, but after spending six months searching for a vocalist, he took on the reins. It was like Deja-vu as James Hetfield also didn't want to sing, but did it due to a lack of suitable vocalists.
Savatage – Power Of The Night
There is a Savatage before "Gutter Ballet" and a Savatage post the death of Criss Oliva for me.
This album is pre "Gutter Ballet" and it's a band trying to find their sound and style. Max Norman is producing. 5 years before, he was doing Ozzy with Randy and 5 years later he would do Megadeth and Lynch Mob albums.
I like the intro riff to "Power Of The Night". "Hard As Love" has a title which is a product of its time, but while this kind of title would have worked for Danger Danger or Bulletboys, it felt wrong with Savatage. But musically, its brilliant, catchy.
"Fountain Of Youth" is the embryo of what Savatage would become. The musical structure and different grooves would become more prominent on the albums that came after.
But the album is hit and miss in the lyrics department.
Kick Axe – Welcome To The Club
I picked up their first two albums in the 90's because I saw that Spencer Proffer was involved.
They are a very underrated band from Canada and I like "Welcome To The Club" more than the debut album "Vices".
"Welcome To The Club" is a different kind of track, rooted in hard rock, but those clean tone arpeggios give the song a very UK Pop sound. Then you have a song like "Feels Good Don't Stop" which swings, grooves and rocks its way all the way while "Comin' After You" feels like a Marillion song while "Make Your Move" is a hard rock song through and through.
How good is the intro to "Never Let Go"? And overall, I feel like I am listening to a Y&T cut merged with Triumph.
"Hellraisers" has some serious good riffage in the intro and verses.
"Can't Take It With You" has those big "I Love It Loud" drums but the riffage and vocal melodies would have given birth to the recent Swedish Melodic Rock movement. It sounds like H.E.A.T built a career on songs like these.
"Too Loud… Too Old" sounds like an unchained and frantic VH song and it also reminds me of a blog I visit regularly called 2Loud2OldMusic.
The way the staccato bass rolls in "Feel The Power" gets the foot tapping. Check out those harmony leads as well.
And the album closes with a cover song, "With A Little Help From My Friends" but even though Lennon and McCartney wrote it, the definitive version is from Joe Cocker.
Keel – The Right To Rock
Gene Simmons is producing under his label Gold Mountain Records while Steve Riley plays drums on the album but left to join WASP.
The band had three songs written before they got sent to the studio ("The Right To Rock", "Back To The City" and "Electric Love"), so they covered three Gene Simmons demos ("Easier Said Than Done", "So Many Girls, So Little Time" and "Get Down") and re-recorded three songs from the debut album ("Speed Demon", "Tonight You're Mine" became "You're The Victim (I'm The Crime)" and the Rolling Stones cover "Let's Spend The Night Together").
I still like the intro to "The Right To Rock", it's perfect for the time.
"All of my life I've been fighting for the right to make my stand" and we are still fighting to make our stand. It will never stop.
"I'm gonna do it my way or not do it all" sounded so easy back then, but as you grow up, you start to realise that it's not that easy to do things your way and still participate in society. In order to live, you need money and to get money you need to work. If doing things your way, generates money, great, if it doesn't, then you need to work for someone else and suddenly you are not doing it your way.
"Back To The City" is interchangeable with their other songs and I really like the Rolling Stones cover "Let's Spend The Night Together".
The verse riff of the Gene Simmons penned "So Many Girls, So Little Time" is pure heavy metal. "Electric Love" is melodic rock, with Ron Keel delivering a vocal line at 11. "Speed Demon" is pure NWOBHM with Ron Keel again delivering a vocal line at 11. There's just 11 in his delivery and that's it.
"Get Down" is another Simmons cut which feels like a re-write of "I Love It Loud" but lyrically, its dumb. "You're The Victim (I'm The Crime)" is another cut inspired by the NWOBHM, with fast "Overkill" double kick drumming in the intro.
Even though the album is a mixture of new songs, re-recordings and Gene Simmons penned songs, Keel earned "The Right To Rock" after it.
Also if you've seen a Y&T cover on A&M Records, a Foreigner cover or some different posters around the Mad Max and Star Wars movies, then there is a pretty good chance you've seen the artwork of John Taylor Dismukes.
Autograph – That's The Stuff
Autograph were either loathed or liked. There was no in between.
I liked the first album "Sign In Please" and loathed the second album "That's The Stuff" which really wasn't the stuff.
And the second track "Take No Prisoners" is a rewrite of "Turn Up The Radio". This is an album that is lacking in ideas and very hard to listen to.

Agreed I liked Sign In Please and then I personally Signed Out after the debut. Nice to see some love for Kick Axe but I prefer the debut a bit more but the second one is no slouch either. Keel I think I bought the second and third one. They were ok I think with them I was buying jsut for the sake of buying, lol
destroyerofharmony says:
I have most of their albums and I think I was also buying for the sake of buying, trying to accumulate as much metal albums as I could. And Ron Keel, man every vocal melody he did was at a Spinal Tap 11 volume, with no variation. Lol.
Keel says that Right To Rock featured 3 tunes that were leftovers from Animalize. I knew Simmons produced it but I didn't know he brought some table scraps with him.
Table scraps lol.
Musically they are good, lyrically they are shit and the melodies reflect the uninspired lyrics. Like listen to the music to So Many Girls So Little Time. It's good. The title and lyrics and melodies, not so good. Lol
If I seen this used at a decent price I would buy it.
Table scraps and used. Keel feels really loved right now.
BAHAHAHA….
Used Table Scraps the new album from KEEL
Love it. Hahah
2loud2oldmusic says:
On Apple Music, the "For You" page I swear had every one of these albums listed the other day! That is nuts. It was a sign of this post was coming. Scary!
I never got in to Megadeth, too heavy, however, with Dystopia, I listened to it for some strange reason and loved it. Now, I have been listening to other albums and hate it took me so long to get in to the band.
Yes I didn't like early Megadeth either but the Rust In Peace And Countdown To Extinction made em accessible.

Comandante Serralves (Commander Serralves) – Who doesn't like Portuguese space rebels?
By The Portuguese Portal August 5, 2019 August 5, 2019
1 Comment on Comandante Serralves (Commander Serralves) – Who doesn't like Portuguese space rebels?
There's nothing more human, I'd posit, than telling stories – no, scratch that. There's nothing more human than sharing stories. I'm as much of an authoral work fan as the next guy, but there's something nearly visceral about group storytelling: having an universe where everyone can play, a set of characters that everyone can help shape and develop, a tome of stories that never ends.
And, of course, we cannot talk about group storytelling in sci-fi without dwelving into space opera: space opera's not only a fancy term for "melodramatic, soap-opera-ish sci-fi" – it's also about how these fun, far-away universes are shared by multiple writers, told and retold again, shaped and reshaped beyond recognition.
And mind that word: fun. Space opera as group storytelling is fun in an almost indulging manner. Sure, storytelling has to worry about plot, and characters, and coherency, and narrative – but hell, storytellers should, first and foremost, enjoy what they're doing!
There was a time where anglophones had all the fun – sure, alright, they invented space opera, point taken. But those times are over: if there's a ragtag group of rascals that knows how to have fun, it's the Portuguese sci-fi writers. And they want you to know about their very own Portuguese space opera: Comandante Serralves.

Comandante Serralves (Commander Serralves) is a concept birthed (no, I couldn't think of a better word) at Imaginauta, a Portuguese indie publisher also known for Lisboa Oculta, the translation and reissue of Amadis de Gaula (arguably the first Portuguese medieval fantasy book), the Devoradores de Livros (Book Devourers) monthly literature group and and the f/sf festival Contacto.
And since being introduced to the writing community, Comandante Serralves has already garnered a plethora of installments, not only in literature but in games and art. However, before we dwelve into those, it might help to understand who the Commander is, and how this universe works.
Main plot
Image by Reimund Bertrams on Pixabay
Commander Serralves' stories are set in a universe where Earth was invaded by an alien species called the pahoehoentes (say that three times fast). The invasion took a toll on human society, so the Human Alliance stepped up to rebuild it and restore peace and order, and with its reign started an era of prosperity and colonization of the solar system.
Which would be all fine and dandy, if it wasn't by the Alliance's methodology of "restoring peace" – which is, in short, to supress the diversity of human cultures to try and homogenize humanity as a single entity. Less ideal, in fact. And as such, there's a group of rebels that opposes the Alliance and fights for freedom. That rebel group is lead by the nearly legendary Commander Serralves.
And here's where things get interesting.
Commander Serralves
Image by Michele Caballero Siamitras Kassube on Pixabay
The man(?), the myth, the legend: Commander Serralves isn't mythical in this universe merely because he's the Commander of a rebel ship, an enemy of the Alliance, a figurehead for the defenders of freedom all across the galaxy: it's also because his name goes way back. So back in History, in fact, that some wonder how he's still alive; is it actually a lineage of Commanders, a mantel of sorts? Or is he an immortal creature, as alien as the first Earth invaders? Perhaps a robot, an experiment? It doesn't help that he seems to sometimes have different faces, although he is always recognized as the Commander.
It's difficult to explain further who the Commander is without spoiling some of the stories and breaking a little bit of the mystery – so this is all you need to know for now. There's a lot of stories whispered here and there about Serralves, the Commander of the Maria spaceship – who's to say which are true, which are fictional?
The first installments
The first installment of the Commander Serralves stories was Despojos de Guerra (Spoils of War) – yes, like that Game of Thrones episode. Except this book was published years before GOT S7, so D&D might have been the ones browsing around. It featured seven stories stories by six writers: Carlos Silva, Vítor Frazão, Inês Montenegro, Ana Filipa Ferreira, Joel Puga and Rui Leite. The cover art is by Ana da Silva Monteiro.
This is the book that introduces the universe, the main players and the game rules, so to say: it answers the question of who Serralves is (but just enough, not entirely), who's his crew, and what enemies they're facing on their quest for freedom.
And as it happens in these kinds of space opera, several-writers books, Serralves and his crew develop and mature not despite of having six different people with six different visions for them – but because of it. It's one thing to have a writer hurl obstacles and hardships at their characters, basically yelling "go on then! Learn something with this!" – now multiply that by six.
Sure, one might argue that there can be incongruences with the character's behavior, since it's so new at this point and writers are still pulling at the strings, figuring out what works. Honestly, it might be just me, but I think it's part of the charm; mutability is the only constant of life, and all of that.
It was followed by Comandante Serralves – Expansão (Commander Serralves – Expansion), which is… pretty self-explanatory, featuring stories by Rui Bastos, Fernando Queirós and Ricardo Dias – who basically took the oportunity offered by Imaginauta of exploring this "open source" universe and expanded the Serralves' lore. The cover art is by Edgar Ascensão.
Pouso Forçado (Forced Landing) – the FATE system boardgame
On January 2015, Imaginauta challenged Solar Entretenimento and the Grupo de Roleplayers de Lisboa (Lisbon Roleplayers Group) to create an RPG scenario in Commander Serralves' universe. And Jean da Silva and Rafael Weber fired back with Pouso Forçado (Forced Landing), a Commander Serralves adventure for the FATE RPG system.
Forced Landing was then submitted to a test game by Sávio Cordato from Solar Entretenimento (responsible for translating FATE to Portuguese) and feedback from Felisberto Lagartinha from Grupo de Roleplayers de Lisboa. After some tweaks and the pagination and cover art work by Priscila Santos, Forced Landing was ready to play.
This FATE adventure is, by the way, free – anyone can download it and play. So if you're curious about the universe but are more of the roleplaying type of sci-fi fan, here's a treat just for you.
Commander Serralves is a space opera, an open-source universe, an infinitely expansive story – therefore, who's to say what comes next? Keep an eye out for new additions.
In the meantime, have some useful links if you want to explore the publisher who's responsible for the Commander Serralves expansive universe:

On Tuesday, the Internet buzzed with pictures and creative headlines about a Florida woman who claimed she got a third breast surgically attached.
Responses brought out the humor in most of us, although many people seemed genuinely concerned about 22-year-old Jasmine Tridevil's mental health.
But we got a document from the Tampa International Airport Police Dept. describing a baggage theft. According to the doc … someone stole a bunch of luggage off an American Airlines conveyor belt, including a black nylon roller bag.
Cops caught the thieves after IDing them with surveillance video. The black bag belonged to Tridevil, but before she got it back it was inventoried by police as part of the case against the crooks.
I'm pretty sure most people are still genuinely concerned about Tridevil's mental health.

Problems at Yahoo
Yahoo's Newest Bidder Is the World's Oldest Telephone Company
Another legacy telecom giant has stepped in to bid on the embattled Internet company.
By Maya Kosoff
By Paul Sakuma/A.P. Images.
After months of dragging its feet, Yahoo formally put itself up for sale earlier this year. Its core Internet business, consisting of its mail product, search features, and media properties, could fetch anywhere between $2 billion and $8 billion. There's a number of interested parties vying for Yahoo, including telecom giant Verizon, considered to be the front-runner to buy the company's Web business. Other bidders include private-equity firm TPG, billionaire investor Dan Gilbert (with financial backing from Warren Buffett), and a group including Bain Capital and former Yahoo boss Ross Levinsohn, who left the company when C.E.O. Marissa Mayer took over a few years ago.
Add to this list another bidder: AT&T, a company whose roots date back to the very first telephone company in 1885. Bloomberg reports that although the legacy telecom had previously declined to bid, it has put forth an offer for the declining Internet company. "AT&T kept one foot in the process through its stake in digital advertising business YP Holdings LLC., which had proposed a merger with a subsidiary spun out of Yahoo's core business," Bloomberg reports. YP has since pulled out of the bidding wars, but AT&T is still interested, and will ostensibly compete against rival Verizon for Yahoo.
Yahoo's real value is still unclear. The company has a $35 billion market capitalization, though much of that is derived from Yahoo's stake in Alibaba, the Chinese e-commerce giant, and may not actually reflect the value of Yahoo's own services. A Yahoo "sale book" given to potential buyers and looked at by Re/code reportedly obfuscated whether parts of Yahoo made money at all. Interestingly, AT&T just weeks ago ended a 15-year partnership with Yahoo that brought in an estimated $100 million annually for Yahoo, nearly all of it profit. That deal, which AT&T signed with Yahoo in 2001, gave Yahoo the rights to host AT&T's Web site and applications. Now, AT&T will work with a little-known company called Synacor for its Web-service needs. But perhaps the two companies will be working together again soon. Yahoo would give AT&T access to a host of digital platforms and content that could help the telecom compete with Verizon, which acquired another legacy digital property, AOL, for about $4.4 billion last year. With a nearly $240 billion market cap, AT&T can certainly afford Yahoo's price.

Capital projects were paid for with the issuance of promissory notes called Mefo bills. The founding of new parties was also made illegal, and all remaining political parties which had not already been dissolved were banned. By January 1941, Rosenberg estimated the looted treasures from France to be valued at over one billion Reichsmarks. Germany occupied the Italian protectorate of Albania and the Italian governorate of Montenegro in 1943 and installed a puppet government in occupied Serbia in 1941. The decision to attack the Soviet Union and the decisive defeat at Stalingrad led to the retreat of the German armies and the eventual loss of the war. Teachers had to take an oath of loyalty and obedience to Hitler, and those who failed to show sufficient conformity to party ideals were often reported by students or fellow teachers and dismissed.

Customs officials at Brisbane Airport say more people are trying to smuggle steroids into Australia than narcotics.
They say thousands of travellers are also ignoring warnings about bringing weapons back from overseas, hidden in their luggage.
About 22 million passengers are expected through the Brisbane domestic and international terminals this financial year, which is about 500,000 more passengers than 2011-12.
Nearly 60 separate commercial quantities of illegal performance and image-enhancing drugs were found this calendar year, which is about six times the amount of narcotic seizures for the same period.
Customs spokesman Keven Gray says the size of packages discovered has varied.
"It would generally vary between say 500 tablets or half-a-dozen vials, up to several thousand tablets and hundreds of vials, depending on how frequent they want to use and how much money they have I suppose," he said.

In November, Customs officials seized $800,000 worth of methamphetamine hidden in a secret compartment of a suitcase belonging to a passenger from Hong Kong.
At the Gold Coast Airport in early November, 29,000 steroid tablets were found hidden in bottles of medicine.
Meanwhile in October, two Japanese men were charged with trying to smuggle 30 lizards out of the country from Perth in Western Australia.
Fines of up to $170,000 or five years in jail apply for smuggling steroids, and up to $270,000 or 10 years in jail for smuggling weapons including Tasers.
However, knuckle dusters, swords, knives and Taser-type items remain among the trove of souvenirs found at Brisbane airport this year.
Mr Gray says it proves some passengers are still refusing to heed warnings.
"There are some fairly significant fines and loss of the goods at stake if you actually do get caught with the goods," he said.
Mr Gray says travellers are buying such items from overseas where it is legal.
"People can buy Tasers from market stalls," he said.
"They're often disguised as other novelty items and utility devices like mobile phones.

Q: how to prevent [circle] body from sliding into 0px gaps between static bodies So I have this body that is a circle collider
and it has sometimes a big velocity
the problem is that the tiled map of the boundaries is made of small tiles
and at high velocity the body goes through it
here is my config of all bodies:
const config = {
  inertia: Infinity, // do not spin
  friction: 0, // X*100% stop on hit
  frictionAir: 0, // X*100% slow on move
  restitution: 0.5, // bounce X*100% on hit
  collisionFilter: this.level.getCollisionFilter(), // default collision filter
  isStatic
}

...

getCollisionFilter (key = null) {
  switch (key) {
    case 'fly':
    return {
      category: 0x0008,
      mask: 0xFFFFFFF1,
      group: -1
    }
    case 'items':
    return {
      category: 0x0004,
      mask: 0xFFFFFFF1,
      group: -1
    }
    case 'woda':
    return {
      category: 0x0002,
      mask: 0xFFFFFFFF,
      group: -1
    }
    default:
    return {
      category: 0x0001,
      mask: 0xFFFFFFFF,
      group: 0
    }
  }
}

```
woda means water if it's of any relevance
this is between the default and woda

A: The problem is that matter.js you are using has no continuous collision detection. It has been a feature request for a few years. Now that doesn't mean there is nothing you can do. There is some code in the issue description itself which is probably the cheapest way of fixing issue with going through rectangular boundaries:

It detects if a body is outside the world bounds and then reverses the velocity and translates the body back

Alternatively, this post gives a few ideas.
If you want to implement something yourself, I'll try to explain continuous collision detection algorithm.
Basically, for each moving object in your scene you have to calculate moment of next collision within the fraction of the frame 0<t0<1, then advance positions to this moment t0 within the frame, update velocities due to collision and proceed further to the next collision t0<t1<1, until you reach time of tn=1 (end of frame), making sure you don't get stuck in a the middle of the frame due to rounding of calculation or "cornered" objects. For spherical colliders, that is usually done by using capsule vs capsule (for pairs of objects) intersection and capsule vs box for the boundaries.
You can also cheat by having multiple hidden frames at a slower speed:

*

*take highest object velocity

*take smallest object collider radius

*divide highest velocity by smallest radius of your colliders and get 'slowdown scale' rounded it to an integer

*slow down all the objects in the scene by that integer 'slowdown scale' and update scene 'slowdown scale' times, without redrawing the screen

*redraw the screen only once with result of 'slowdown scale' updates and you should get same positions as without slowdown, but respecting collisions

Good luck colliding!

Original block, MacGibbon and Ross, 1876, with later alterations. 3-storey, 3-bay with mansard attic and garret, mid-Victorian freestyle, richly detailed. Wrought-iron balustrade with centred, consoled stone balcony between ground and 1st floors; cornice over canted bays, continuous as string course between 1st and 2nd floors; cill course to 2nd floor; consoled balcony to central bay at 2nd floor; continuous cornice and coped blocking course at 2nd floor; corniced tripartite dormer to central attic bay with pedimented garret above; corniced and finialled semicircular pediments to attic dormers to flanking bays. Round-headed windows to central bays, 1st and 2nd floors; swagged nook shafts and rosette architraves at 1st floor; engaged nook shafts, panelled pilasters and spandrels, and fluted architraves at 2nd floor; pilastered attic and garret windows; swagged pilasters to canted bays at 1st floor; pilasters to canted bays at 2nd floor.
NW (PRINCIPAL) ELEVATION: symmetrical; 3-light bay to centre with 3-light canted bays flanking. Modern shop fascias at ground floor, round-arched doorpiece with crested console keyblock and carved floriate architrave; deep-set timber panelled door; triple arched window (central light taller) at 1st floor; 3-light window at 2nd floor; tripartite dormer with centred pendimented garret above. 3-light window at each floor in each bay flanking; dormer window above with small flanking garret windows.
SW AND NE ELEVATION: obscured by adjacent building.
SE ELEVATION: not seen 2000.
Predominantly 2-pane timber sash and case windows. Grey slate mansard roof. Tall coped ashlar stacks. Cast-iron rainwater goods.
INTERIORS: converted as modern shops at ground floor; unseen above 2000.
A lively, richly decorated contrast to the more austere blocks flanking it. Expansion both east and west has taken place with nos 25-27 being incorporated (see separate listing), as well as No 41 (not included in listing). Nos 25-27 formerly belonged to Wylie and Lochhead (for whom a symmetrical shopfront was designed in 1956), and this accounts for the additional shopfront storey. The line of development westwards was agreed to by the city in 1813 but had been planned as early as 1801, with the S side of Shandwick Place originally called Maitland Street (renamed in the late 1890s). Its form continues the urban rectilinearity of Craig's New Town (Youngson, p215). This side of Shandwick Place appears on Robert Kirkwood's New Plan of 1817, although many of the buildings have since been remodelled or rebuilt. According to Grant Shandwick Place was "once a double line of front-door houses for people of good style, [now they] are almost entirely lines of shops or other new buildings".


Well this was interesting and I certainly left feeling like we'd hardly gotten a decent photo but boy was I wrong.
Thanks to my cameras self timer for the group shot and my husbands ability to learn quickly on how to use my dslr, we managed to get some great family photos on our own!
I did my usual edits once we got home and wahla…they're great photos of us!
My absolute favorite photo is the priceless one of my 18 month old giving me a kiss. I'll cherish that photo and may even just have to blow that one up. I also love the one of him hugging me. The "airplane" one with daddy is special to us b/c our little boy sure does love airplanes!
I thought I'd share our photos on the blog for everyone to see the face behind the camera..and the ones who support me :).
Merry Christmas season! It's officially begun and I love it!

Yacht News Back
Landmark explorer Big Fish comes to London
1 September 2011 by Caroline
The 45-metre explorer Big Fish will arrive at Butler's Wharf in central London tonight, where she will be moored until Wednesday to attract prospective buyers.
The superyacht, which is making her virgin circumnavigation of the globe, will then travel to Monaco, where she is expected to be a must-see exhibit at the forthcoming Yacht Show. After her appearance she will continue on to the Caribbean, where she will be available for charter from December.
Big Fish was built last year for Hong Kong-based businessman Richard Beattie, who wanted a yacht in which he could explore remote parts of the world, but which was also contemporary in style, with wide open spaces, plenty of natural light and floor-to-ceiling windows.
When he couldn't find a yacht for sale that met his requirements, Beattie commissioned Canadian Greg Marshall with the design. His concept, which incorporated the styling and capabilities that Beattie sought, was built at the McMullen & Wing yard in Auckland.
She has a 96,000 litre fuel capacity, providing a range of 16,093km.
Big Fish is asking €26.5 million.

The 10 Best Three 6 Mafia Tracks, according to Kamandi
"Every time I eat prawns I think of that line 'we eat so many shrimp' and I feel like the man"
Hailing from Christchurch, New Zealand, Kamandi's production sounds can be slotted in somewhere in the midst of George Fitzgerald, Bicep and Four Tet. It's something of a surprise, then, to think that he's been tapped up by a wealth of hip-hop royalty, from Chance The Rapper to Riff Raff to Waka Flocka Flame, for production. Though Kamandi himself is from the southern hemisphere, much of his sound is rooted in the beat-scene of LA and the bass of the UK, with the multi-talented artist cementing the notion that these days genres can easily traverse geographical borders.
Another highly-coveted collaboration that Kamandi's been able to add to his CV is that of Tennessee crunk outfit Three 6 Mafia, who he's a huge fan of – producing 'Mischief', a track that featured the group's DJ Paul as well as Azizi Gibson. Following this, and ahead of his forthcoming album 'Voices', the beatmaker has shared his ten favourite cuts that the sizzurp-loving group – and its varying members – have gifted the world.
1. Three 6 Mafia – 'Sippin' On Some Syrup'
"It's the most obvious choice, but this is definitely the anthem for a reason. It just sounds good. I don't condone opiates but this song goes hard. It's one that if you have it playing in your headphones while you're walking around, you'll start walking that little bit cooler. Every time I eat prawns I think of that line 'we eat so many shrimp' and I feel like the man. I can't remember if DJ Screw officially chopped and screwed it (he probably did) but if it's a little later in the evening, then I'm searching out those dodgy YouTube slowed and throwed versions."
2. Three 6 Mafia – 'Now I'm High, Really High'
"I think this might be the first Three 6 song I ever heard. I'm pretty sure I got shown it by my cousin. I remember hearing this and thinking about how raw the production was and how Lord Infamous's part on it was so different to anything I was into at the time. Honestly, it took me a few listens to get it, but when I got it, there was nothing better for a long time."
3. Three 6 Mafia – 'Smoked Out, Loced Out'
"This is a good example of how influential Three 6 was. The hook and the beat in this have the sound of a whole lot of songs that followed from other big time artists, and it's still heard everywhere."
4. DJ Paul & Lord Infamous – 'Paul Wit Da 45'
"I like how this is a rap song without even having a verse. It's just this tough, rolling beat with lots of heavy quotes repeating all through it. This song gets me hyped up every time."
5. DJ Paul & Lord Infamous – '1000 Blunts'
"This and the whole 'Come With Me To Hell (part 1)' tape is important. It has that signature rough tape recording sound and an icy repeating vocal hook sample. This song represents that real Three 6 sound."
6. DJ Paul ft. Lord Infamous & Crunchy Black – 'Twist It, Hit It, Lite It'
"I always liked the Isley Brothers and the 'Summer Breeze' sample sounds perfectly imperfect on this track. You could maybe call this one of the more 'feelgood' classic Three 6 records. I wanted to make sure I got an exclusively DJ Paul selection in this list because it seems like he really pioneered the whole Three 6 sound with his brother (Lord Infamous). When I was lucky enough to work with him I also found out he's a really humble and nice guy."
7. DJ Paul & Juicy J – 'Playa Hatas'
"The beat in this is so crazy. I can't remember off the top of my head what song the sample is from, but the way this whole song dresses up that sample sounds really good in that rough DJ Paul way. All of the DJ Paul & Juicy J tapes had those extra tasty sample chops. It's a shame that these two don't really work together now but I'm sure they have their reasons."
8. Three 6 Mafia – 'Stay Fly'
"At the time, this one was almost like a guilty pleasure. It was a Three 6 pop record and it's definitely a nostalgic one. The beat reminds me of old Cam'ron/Dipset, which probably makes sense because that would have been the big sound around the time that this dropped."
9. Gangsta Boo – 'They Don't Love Me'
"Technically Gangsta Boo had left the Three 6 by this album but she still represents Three 6 all over the album 'Mafiiiya-ya'. She has those full energy hooks. This song is pretty motivating to do your thing."
10. Project Pat – 'Take Da Charge'
"I don't think this list could be complete without a Project Pat track. I've chosen this one because the whole song is smooth and goes down well, but honestly there's a whole lot of Project Pat tracks that could just as easily made this list."
Listen to Kamandi's latest track, 'Anyway Friday':
Kamandi's 'Voices' album drops on July 12th 2019.

ClickUp Github Integration
ClickUp has steadily gained recognition as one of the most effective task management platforms over the years. Backed by a great-value range of plans and a long list of powerful features, it has been used and trusted by companies worldwide, small or big.
It's certainly eye-catching, but it's not all you need. There are many other software options that may be more suitable for your needs than ClickUp!
We've had the pleasure of looking at six of its close competitors that are impacting the task management scene, checking out their similar traits, and examining their distinct aspects that set each other apart. We can also help you decide if your team is more compatible with ClickUp or other platforms. If you haven't found the perfect PMS yet, keep reading!
For those of you who prefer a more visual experience, here is a video review from Deya on her YouTube channel Deya // Freelance, DBM & Entrepreneurship. To get a comprehensive overview of ClickUp, you may still want to check out our article below, which compares it to some competitors.
What is ClickUp? A brief overview ClickUp Github Integration
ClickUp, a cloud-based project-management software, is available to companies and groups of all sizes. It offers a place to work efficiently with optimized task-handling and goal-tracking tools as well as reporting tools. ClickUp also gives you the opportunity to encourage growth and collaboration to great heights.
ClickUp is one of the most popular productivity platforms today. It has distinct features that make each platform stand out. It has a huge load of features, most of which are designed to be convenient and easy to use. Additionally, it's best known for its jam-packed free plan and impressively valuable premium contemporaries.
ClickUp is a popular and highly regarded product. However, while being filled to the brim with productivity features, the amount it offers can be overkill for some users.
What Makes ClickUp Stand Out From the Rest?
There's no denying that ClickUp delivers when it comes to offering teams a wide variety of project management features. From core tools such as task creation, calendar, reporting, and communication, to handy functions you may not get anywhere else, like time and screen recording, real-time collaborations, and public sharing, ClickUp has it all.
What's particularly nice about the large capacity of tools is that you can access them in one place instead of relying on multiple apps. You don't have to pay anything to access most of the core tools. ClickUp has been offering this free forever plan since its inception in 2017. According to some studies, having all of the required work tools in one place can increase team productivity by up to 20%.
ClickUp's Shortcomings
Although having as many features as possible in one platform is a good idea, there are downsides. It is a common occurrence for people to feel tired when trying to deal with too many things at once. A common complaint nearly everyone has about ClickUp is that the overload of tools requires them to allot extra time to learn. Most teams will need to learn the tools before they can use them for their full-time work.
Although not as serious as the other, ClickUp needs to improve its UI. It can sometimes be a little difficult to navigate and may become unresponsive in some cases. It is capable of customizing itself and provides excellent support and learning resources when needed.
ClickUp's Pros
This includes a wide range of solutions for work, from task management to time tracking to goal setting.
Its free plan is the best in project management software
Lets you explore a wider scope of customization tools
ClickUp's Cons
It offers so many features that it can be intimidating for those who are new to it.
Overload of tools means more time for onboarding

ClickUp vs. Asana
Similar to ClickUp and Asana, Asana allows you to track your team's tasks from anywhere on the internet. Did you know that you can access both platforms via the iOS or Android mobile apps?
Asana comes with the core features you may expect, such as unlimited storage, reporting, goal tracking, and communication. ClickUp aims to be features-heavy, and Asana counters it by striking a perfect balance between offering powerful work tools and simplifying task management duties.
Asana does not have as many tools as ClickUp, which may be good news for some. Its estimated price range is however twice as expensive as the other, despite its impressive list of features.
Comparing the Features
Both Asana and ClickUp offer teams a handy slew of core workspace features and tools, plus some additions, including portfolio access and customization. While the latter has life-saving tools like integrated time-tracking management, the former does not – this means you would have to find a dedicated program just for that.
Asana's offered set of paid plans costs twice the amount of what ClickUp currently has. ClickUp Unlimited plans start at $5, while Asana's is a staggering $10.99. Asana's free plans do not offer the same features as ClickUp and can only be accessed by those who have opted for premium tiers. However, its entry-level tier includes unlimited storage among the only saving graces. ClickUp has the clear advantage in this category.
Asana's Unique Aspects
Asana might not be well-known for its financial value. It might also need to be proficient in its offerings of project management tools. But, for what it's worth, not having a lot to provide may have given Asana a bigger advantage than ClickUp.
Although the latter has a lot of features, it may not be enough for all teams, especially those who are going through the onboarding process. With the former, teammates wouldn't have to worry as much, as its display of core tools is simply laid out and ready to use, further saving time in the process.
Asana makes it easy to incorporate and integrate as many things as you need to improve your team's experience. Like every other project management platform, Asana lets you integrate with various apps and services, including Zapier, for an expanded reach.
Asana's Pros
Has enough vital task management features to make for a swift working environment
Its interface and general functions are sleek, making it easier for first-timers to explore the platform.
It offers a wide range of integrations with third party apps and services.
Asana's Cons
Most of Asana's key features require access to any of its paid-tier offerings.
The high price tag may not be a good fit for small teams or low-budget groups.

Monday.com is one of the few platforms that offers almost the same capabilities as ClickUp. The former, much like ClickUp, allows you to manage all tasks with the best quality.
Monday allows you to create any type of task, file them in folders and subtasks. You can also collaborate with your mates in real time even if you are far away.
ClickUp Monday lets you do what it promises. The only differences are that ClickUp's interface is more modern than the other, easier to use, and more suitable for large groups.
Monday offers its users the following key work management tools that ClickUp also has: apart from primary functions like task-making, reporting, and automations, these also include the Gantt and Kanban charts, the in-house Documents feature, time-tracking tools, single sign-on, and the ability to privatize boards and files. You can access half of these tools in ClickUp's freemium program, but Monday will require you to pay for them. This can make it a bit difficult.
Regarding the pricing range, Monday's version falls comfortably between ClickUp's more valuable set and Asana's more expensive one. Its Basic plan costs $8 – just a good $3 more than ClickUp's equivalent, but not as pricey. Though admittedly, there's not much to offer, Monday's free plan wins when it comes to storage allowance. Comparing ClickUp's 500MB storage allowance to ClickUp's 100MB will immediately show the difference. ClickUp Github Integration
Monday's Unique Aspects
Monday may be capable of offering a different amount of features than ClickUp on the table in its free plan – given that most of them require access beyond the paywall. However, we do have to appreciate how polished its UI is. Much like Asana, Monday's interface has been designed to be easy to navigate, even upon onboarding.
Monday stands out best in its simplicity based on how it lays out its features. It can be integrated with third-party platforms so that companies with additional needs or solutions have a place to make the most of the software.
Additionally, considering the cost range of its priced plans and their included tools, Monday has the potential to be a better great-value project management program for mid to large-sized teams. ClickUp works best for small-scale groups, so it's fitting for Monday to be the ClickUp for bigger ones.
Monday's Pros
Offers a wide range of great-value plans that are suitable for large and mid-sized teams.
It has enough features and work view options to give you a competitive edge
Its interface is simple enough for anyone, including newly welcomed teammates.
Monday's Cons
The free plan does not offer unlimited storage, but it has certain limitations.
It lacks multi-device support, as it can't be currently connected to voice control platforms like Alexa and Google Assistant.
ClickUp vs. Notion
Originally a note-taking application, Notion takes on a refreshing approach to task management. Notion does not rely on the traditional interface that is cluttered with many tools as ClickUp and other top platforms, but instead presents its features in a simplified, minimalistic way.
Notion allows you to create a simple set of work features. These include creating a list of tasks and viewing your workspace in various ways, from Kanban boards to calendar views and timeline views, and creating info-rich documents or wikis.
However, you wouldn't be able to try out other handy tools, including the Gantt chart, as Notion does not have enough capacity to offer them. It does have a limited number of powerful solutions but it makes up for it with a simpler working environment.
Notion doesn't have the same number of functions as ClickUp, as we've already seen. As for the general design, the former appears to be less bold and brash than the latter (unless you try out any of its pre-made templates available on its official website). But given how it was originally presented, it makes more sense that it turned out this way.
Beyond how much it can offer, Notion's simplistic nature similarly influences its free tier and paid plans. Its free plan, on the one hand, allows you to taste its core tools – what makes it different is that it's more suited for personal use compared to ClickUp's Free Forever plan. Notion's Teams plan, on the other, seems to fit groups who may not need any of the increasingly complicated fuss of extra features better. ClickUp Github Integration
Notion's Unique Aspects
It is the only software that can cater to freelancers and small teams better than large companies with lots at stake. Considering the short list of features, it can offer right away. The notion has the advantage of being easier to explore and use.
Organizing tasks and other duties have always been challenging given its minimalist feel. You may be able to cut right to the chase and accomplish whatever task you set your mind, whether you are working alone or in a group.
Notion is easy to use. Its layout is also simple enough that you can maximize it however you wish. Although it may not be as efficient as automation, that won't make it a problem if you are a task manager.
Notion's Pros
It excels in task-creating and note-taking. This is especially impressive considering that it was originally a simple notes application.
Its minimalistic interface leads to a less complex setup process
This encourages users to be more efficient and fluid in their workflow. It is suitable for both freelancers and large teams.
Notion's Cons
It also requires other essential project management tools such as automation or advanced-level reporting.
If you want to maximize Notion's capabilities and add other features, third-party integrations may be necessary
ClickUp vs. Trello
Trello is breaking with tradition and aiming to be the most popular project management platform. It specializes in offering teams a wide range of flexible ways to see and organize project tasks, with some notable ones including Kanban-style boards, signature Trello cards, and eye-catching views from lists to tables. ClickUp Github Integration
From the looks of it, Trello's task layout capabilities have given ClickUp a worthy competitor in the field. Furthermore, it excels in its distinctive way when it comes to automations and integrations, and its free plan seems to be on par with what ClickUp's Free Forever variant has in store.
As Trello shines best in its visual layouts, we can't say the same regarding other important aspects of project management, like reporting. However, the limited number of tools available makes it easier to onboard.
Like ClickUp's take, Trello does not fail to impress us with its storied range of visual task layouts, as each allows you to keep organized and in tune with your team's primary goals. However, while you can create a Kanban board for free, you may need to pay for a $10 Premium plan to access many options. However, the Kanban board's task management and automation tools are sufficient to be used by any team.
It's also worth noting that its integration capabilities seamlessly match those of ClickUp. Trello's free plan limits may limit your options, but you might be able to use its native and power-up offerings to give you more flexibility in your workflow. Also, Trello's entry level tier grants unlimited storage which ClickUp is currently unable to offer. This is a great bonus!
Trello's Unique Aspects
Trello is not as flexible as ClickUp. Trello currently doesn't allow you to track your projects, set up a timer or record work hours.
This lack of range means it won't be a great fit for ambitious data-heavy projects. If all you need is a place to organize your tasks for your entire team, will this matter? If you don't want to use Trello's integration features, the default version might not suffice to meet your workspace requirements.
Speaking of organizing your tasks, it's quite telling that Trello's task management functions have helped the software get to where it is today. Apart from the assorted range of visuals, the Trello Cards feature lets you collate all your tasks into sub-ecosystems full of workplace interactions. ClickUp Github Integration
Trello's Pros
Offers a stellar range of board-based work view designs optimized for a variety of purposes
Has fewer features, ultimately making the onboarding and setup process less cumbersome
The free plan offers unlimited storage space which is great news for people who work with more data.
Trello's Cons
Aside from boards and visuals, Trello needs to catch up in other crucial tools like reporting and time management.
You'll only be limited to Kanban boards unless you sign up for its mid-tier Premium plan.
ClickUp vs. Jira Software
Advertised as the #1 project management software for agile teams, Jira Software is packed with a stellar list of advanced-grade and highly functional features. Most of these are geared toward teams specializing in IT and other high-skill fields, so if you happen to be part of one, this may pique your interest.
Like ClickUp, Jira is quite robust and flexible to use based on its current offering of interesting tools – the only difference being it's more suited for coding pros and the like. Its core functions aside, many have praised it for its excellent reporting, dev-ops and bug-tracking capabilities.
It is also highly praised for its impressive list of native integrations. These are all great features, but Jira is also criticized for its slow UI, confusing setup and inability assign multiple people to the same task.
ClickUp and Jira share some commonalities, such as scrums and automations, project reporting, power-heavy task managing capabilities, and project reporting. One of the key differences is Jira's focus on developers. This may explain why Jira's features can be difficult to understand if you are not tech-savvy. ClickUp Github Integration
The commonality of both platforms is their intimidation upon first impression. ClickUp may be well-known for its feature overload. Still, Jira's range is so advanced that others may struggle with it. As for Jira's free and paid plans, you may likely reap the benefits of what each tier offers, especially if you work in IT. Atlassian Access subscriptions are a good option if you want to have expert-level access, such as SCIM and SSO.
Jira's Unique Aspects
Jira is a powerful project management platform that can be as simple or complex as you might think. Plus, given its offering of functions and tools, it may suit agile teams better – considering the inclusion of distinctive assets like DevOps and IT companies.
Jira may not be capable of offering every feature under the sun like ClickUp. It is able to integrate with ClickUp and offers extra gigabytes storage space. This allows you to easily add any feature that you need into your workspace. Want to incorporate Gantt charts and time checking? You can explore all of them in the Atlassian Marketplace.
A recurring issue some users have with Jira is since it can house as many integrations as possible, your computer may run into some hardware issues. But, with that out of the way, as long as there's enough time to go through the platform, we can envision Jira as a place where teammates can work as swiftly as possible.
Jira's Pros
A great set of tools packed with power, many of which are designed for teams working in IT or web development
A generally functional plan is available. There are also a number of premium plans.
Jira is known for its over 1000 integrations with different platforms. ClickUp Github Integration
Jira's Cons
If you're not as well versed in IT jargon, you may have difficulty navigating through Jira for the first time.
Has been criticized for its often slow interface, less intuitive functions, and lack of important task management features
ClickUp vs. Airtable
Airtable is well-known for its spreadsheet capabilities. But it also has many other features. Penned as a "real-time spreadsheet-database hybrid" that takes on a new spin on the usual project management software, it focuses on letting teams mix in all the workflow and data into one cohesive source of truth.
While ClickUp has some great database management features, Airtable is the best in this area. It's best recognized for its generously customizable spreadsheet-adjacent table view. Though more appropriate for teams specializing in organizing important data, Airtable's inclusive approach makes it a welcoming solution for any purpose.
Airtable is trusted by so many people because of its stability and ease-of-use. It can be difficult to use in certain cases, especially when using its data input functions.
Airtable allows you to craft an organized layout with the help of spreadsheets. They can be used in multiple ways and for multiple purposes thanks to the template library. The Interface Designer update has added new ways to view tasks. Similar to ClickUp, you now have the option to customize your views into calendar form or a Kanban board. ClickUp Github Integration
Airtable's free plan is a great feature. Although it lacks some core features, it's still very functional. You get to access some core features, but as for customization, there's not much range of options to explore unless you sign up for any of its premium plans. Speaking of which, they're a bit more expensive than ClickUp's, so be aware.
Airtable's Unique Aspects
Airtable excels in spreadsheets, out of all the project management tools on our list. It's also one of the only platforms that cash in on their spreadsheet and table tools as their star asset.
For years before the advent of digital boards and other task views designed for today's age, spreadsheet programs like Microsoft Excel were primarily used to import data and lay out the tasks for any project. The design of these spreadsheet programs has helped teams achieve their goals.
They became less popular as they were no longer practical and had to be replaced by more functionality. Airtable was designed to solve the shortcomings of spreadsheet platforms. Today, with the increasing rise of cloud-based and remote work, Airtable's signature capabilities are more fitting for teams of all sizes. ClickUp Github Integration
Airtable's Pros
There are many amazing customization and spreadsheet-creating capabilities.
It is well-respected for its functional and stable user interface.
Its affinity for diversity makes it suitable for many different types of work purposes
Airtable's Cons
Sometimes, data import and export can be difficult to manage, especially when data is transferred from MS Excel.
Although it may seem difficult to sign up for Airtable, once you get used to the overall functions of the platform, it will be worth it.
Bottom Line: Which Project Management Software Should I Choose? ClickUp Github Integration
If you want your team to do all things at once, ClickUp may be our best option. Monday.com is an excellent alternative if your team doesn't want to feel overwhelmed the first time. Technically, all platforms in our list are alternatives. However, Monday.com has more in-house capabilities, such as communication tools, collaboration tools, reporting and time-tracking.
Asana, Notion and Airtable offer the perfect combination of functionality and form. Between the three, you get to focus on the tasks at hand with as minimal features as possible, and you can maximize with integrations if you feel like it. The only difference lies in how they're used: Notion focuses on note-taking and documents, Airtable on spreadsheets, and Asana on task handling with a little communication on the side.
If your workflow relies on visuals, Trello may be a better fit, though you may have to integrate with other platforms for other purposes. After all, it shines best when it comes to Kanban board views. Jira Software is a great choice if you are looking for an advanced interface and agile features, and/or a computer-related skill such as IT, web development or any other computer-related skill.
ClickUp is the only way to combine the best features from all other PMS in one place. But, if you're going for this route, you may need to consider its strengths and weaknesses, most of which we haven't fully covered here. It's worth mentioning that some of ClickUp's tools may be better, while others may not – nevertheless, it offers a decent list of integrations, which you can use to your advantage if you need it most, as with any other existing project management software.
Have you found the perfect PMS to help your team achieve your dream goals? ClickUp is the right platform for you or something else? Regardless of your choice, we'll wish you the best of luck!


Carl Cregan, who died in St, Luke's Hospital, Kilkenny on January 24, 2003 was secretary of the Cashet King Cormac's for three years, 1983-85. During these years he proved himself a most efficient officer. A man of great integrity and honesty, the affairs of the club were in excellent hands during his years in office.
Born in Tipperary Town in 1946, where his father was a Dairy Inspector, and from a very distinguished Limerick hurling family, Carl followed the fortunes of the green and white with passion and enthusiasm. He was willing to argue about their merits and defend them against the most fanatical of Tipperary supporters. But it was all done in a nice way, in line with his innate decency and good heart and, when Limerick were beaten, there was no greater supporter of the Blue and Gold.
His family had moved to Kilkenny in 1958 and Carl was educated in St. Kieran's College. Afterwards he did hotel management at Shannon, where a contemporary was Liam Griffin. His job in the hotel industry took him to Galway, where he played club hurling, and later to Wales, where he spent a number of years. He came to Cashel in 1979 to manage his brother's pub.
The pub soon became a Mecca for Cashel King Cormac's supporters, not only because of the talk of hurling and football but also because Carl filled the greatest pint of Guinness it was possible to get. A perfectionist in everything he did, Carl filled the perfect pint! It had to be waited for and Carl was infinitely patient in waiting for it to settle before it was served. And, before he did that, he carved the most perfect shamrock on its head!
Carl was well-informed and was constantly improving his knowledge. Much of his spare time was spent in reading. He was informed on many matters other than sport and this knowledge was revealed in the quizzes he enjoyed so much.
Carl's passing is deeply regretted by his brothers Richard and Michael, and sisters Mary, Elsie, Noreen, Maeve and Cora. It is also regretted by the members of the Cashel King Cormac's and especially by those of us who were close to him when a member of the club. A guard of honour was provided by the members on both days of the funeral and the coffin was draped in the club colours. He was buried in St. Kieran's Cemetery, Kilkenny after midday Mass on Sunday, January 27. May he rest in peace.


Complaining is something that millions of people do.
Everyone is guilty of this at one point or another. You may have this negative notion about certain things in your life, in your past, or just about anything. Look online and you'll see millions upon millions of people complaining about everything and nothing all the same. You may find that you can't get away from it. With so many people having such negative opinions, it's no wonder that people are physically and mentally ill.
and it seems to be something that medical science is finding out to be truth.
Here's the thing, negativity could ruin brain function. Now, don't run with this completely, but rather, understand how this could affect the brain's hippocampus. You see, research indicates that complaining actually maps out neurological elements that diminish. Neurons in the brain go off, synapses misfire, and the issues that you may be angry about start to overcome the healthy tissue. Now, this may not seem like a big deal, but it has detriment that has been mapped out in the brain. Over time, these issues can manifest into physical, emotional, and mental disruptions. Continue down a path, and you could very well end up dealing with a very difficult matter moving forward. The brain takes serious note in what is going on, and this affects it over time.
What people don't realize is that complaints usually don't manifest issues right away. Much like a clock, the issues tick and move on. There's a slight neurological change each time. Imagine tearing a page from a dictionary. A large dictionary may have hundreds of thousands of pages, and each time you rip 1 page out, it gets less and less. That's what you're essentially doing to your brain when you complain and listen to negativity on a large scale. You're tearing 1 page at a time. That may not seem like a lot, and it may not even manifest serious issue, but after years and years of this, the brain starts to change and the elements showcase damage, and that has a visceral response.
and it starts with the recognition that complaining is not good for our body or mind.
Here's the first major step to getting away from a life of complaining, and it's simple, recognize that there's an issue. You don't need someone to tell you this. Just sit down in a quiet place, and ask yourself if you have anything you want to complain about. Write it down if it helps. Just really think about issues that you may have. You may be surprised by how just sitting still and acknowledging your frustrations could very well be the catalyst for change. It may be easy to state, but honestly, look at the bright side. Think about silver linings and positive elements in certain points of your daily life. You're going to find that there's a lot more good than bad.
Some people will call for a complete overhaul, an 180-degree change, but that's not necessarily a good thing. Nor is it easy to accomplish. Considering changing things one at a time. No one is perfect, and no one is expected to wake up and becoming a bouncing ray of sunlight. However, just like gradual complaints can kill off neurons, you can rebuild gradually as well. The key is to focus on one thing at a time. Just find one area that you want to change and be more positive with, and reflect on that. Use gratitude whenever you can, and you'll start to slowly find change manifests within you.
Here's a tip that many take and literally run from. The key here is to walk away when frustrated. Instead of exacerbating the problem, just stop, think and walk. When you're ready to get fired up, or you find offense to something, just calmly breathe and do not react without thinking deeply. Take a deep breath, find a way to look at things from different perspectives, and work towards the resolution that doesn't involve your complaints. Just practice this, and over time, you're going to be able to diffuse your feelings and actually live a better, more focused life.
Be prepared to let it go instead of dwelling on it.
Complaints are never going to allow you to live a happy, and joyous life.
Over time, the more you dwell on these things, the more physical manifestations could come to the surface. No one asks for you to change overnight, so don't chase that. Instead, recognize that you may have an issue with negativity, and start to look at ways to shake things up. Positivity is going to pay off more dividends than complaining ever can, and that's something that most people will agree with. You can easily diffuse situations and create happiness when you are joyous instead of down in the dumps. There is a time and place for frustration, but if you can help it, chase positivity, and see what happens. You'll be surprised.
Do Yourself a Favour, Stop Complaining!

Deaf Puppy's Brother Teaches Her How To Do Everything
They're barely taller than a pen and looking for a home together ❤
By Caitlin Jill Anders
dog profile
Bo, Daisy and Luke were left at a shelter when they were just 6 weeks old by a breeder who couldn't sell them because none of them could walk in a straight line. After examining the puppies, the shelter determined that they had cerebellar vestibular dysfunction, a congenital issue caused by a lack of oxygen in utero. Staffers weren't yet sure how serious their issues were, and were afraid they may not have the resources to care for them — but quickly found people who could.
Mr. Bones and Co.
Mr. Bones and Co., a rescue based in New York City, was in the process of having some dogs sent over to them from North Carolina when at the last minute, the shelter asked if they would take the chiweenie (Chihuahua/dachshund mix) triplets too. The rescue quickly agreed, and the special trio made the trip to New York City.
After arriving in New York and undergoing a series of medical tests, it was determined that the trio's issues were actually not as bad as the shelter initially thought. Their disorder would cause them to be a little clumsy, but otherwise they seemed completely normal, and the rescue was confident they would go on to lead typical lives. Luke was always the most healthy and confident of the three, and while he was adopted quickly, Bo and Daisy remained unwanted. The pair seemed to rely on each other, and also seemed to have some strange habits — and it took everyone months to finally figure out why.
A defect on Bo's left ear led the rescue to realize that he was deaf in that ear. After making this discovery, it didn't take them long to figure out that the reason Daisy developed slower than her brothers, spun in circles frequently and hated being left alone was because she was completely deaf. She had been able to hide it for a while by mimicking everything her brothers did, and still relies heavily on Bo to help her navigate the world.
Due to their special needs, Bo and Daisy need to be adopted out together. Bo is a little more outgoing and adventurous than Daisy is, and his confidence seems to help her overcome her fears. While Bo sometimes has difficulty determining where sound is coming from, he's always able to figure it out eventually. Daisy watches her brother's every move, and uses his visual cues to figure out what she's supposed to be doing at any given time. He helps to guide her and make her feel safe, and the pair are rarely ever apart.
"Bo is Daisy's service dog," Elli Frank, founder of Mr. Bones and Co. and Bo and Daisy's foster mom, told The Dodo. "She follows him, she wakes up when he wakes up, she knows it's time to eat when he eats, she watched him learn to sit and then learned herself. She's trained by watching him interact with me."
Bo and Daisy are 5 months old now, and the cutest pair of puppies you'll ever see. Due to their size and issues, they go everywhere with their foster mom, and always get a ton of attention because of how adorable and quirky they are.
"They're so small people ask me if they're ferrets," Frank said. "Daisy is so tiny even cat collars are too big for her. We bought her a ferret collar with a little bell on it so we know where she is at all times."
Daisy and Bo were adopted out at one point but unfortunately returned 10 days later, as the other dog in the home didn't get along with them. Going forward, the rescue would like them to be the only pets in their new home, to give them the best chance of being successful.
Bo and Daisy may have some issues and quirks, but they're growing stronger and braver every day, and will no doubt be the absolute greatest dogs for one very lucky family.
If you're interested in adopting Bo and Daisy, you can contact Mr. Bones and Co. for more information.

/ Egypt number 10 in FIFA rankings
Egypt number 10 in FIFA rankings
CAIRO: The Egyptian national football team jumped into the top 10 of FIFA's – the world football governing body – recent rankings published on Wednesday, marking the first time the African nation has made it this high. Nigera followed Egypt as the second highest ranked African nation, moving up 7 spots to take the 15th position.
Egypt received a boost after winning their third-straight African Cup of Nations on Sunday in Angola. They haven't lost in the African continental championship since 2004.
Nigeria's ranking was also boosted by their third place finish in the tournament.
Ironically, Egypt is the only top ranking nation not to make it to the World Cup this summer in South Africa.
Other top ranking African teams include Cameroon, which fell nine places to number 20, and Cote d'Ivoire, which is now ranked 22nd after falling six places.
Nations Cup runners-up, Ghana rose seven places to the 27th position in the world, while Algeria went down five spots to 31. Gabon is now ranked 44, after climbing four places to complete the number of teams from Africa in the top 50.
2010 World Cup host, South Africa, is ranked 81st in the world, with Malawi and Mozambique coming close behind at 82 and 83.
Meanwhile, Spain kept the top spot in the rankings. The United States was unchanged at No. 14, leading the CONCACAF nations. Mexico followed at 17.
European champion, Spain, is followed by Brazil and Netherlands. World champion, Italy, is fourth and Portugal is fifth.
The top nine was unchanged after only No. 8, Argentina, played in the past month, beating Costa Rica 3-2 in a friendly match.
