"GTO: Pontiac's Great One," Darwin Holmstrom, with photographs by David Newhardt, $50.00.
This is one massive, massive tome to one of America's four wheeled-sweethearts. The sad thing is that it feels so anticlimactic because, as we all know, Pontiac is no more. This book helps us to understand why that is such a huge blow to the automotive industry as we know it today.
If you want to get your motor revving smoothly, buy an Italian sports car. If you want to do it cheaply, buy a book about Italian sports car.
There are some awfully good ones around, too.
One of my favorites is a new biography of auto visionary Virgil Exner, who spearheaded some of the most terrific auto designs of the past. Remember "The Forward Look" from Chrysler during the 1950s and 1960s? That was all about Mr. Exner, and all of the fascinating details of the dashing Mr. Exner's transformation of dowdy Chrysler Corporation cars into the stars of the automotive firmament.


serves cold matcha served over ice. As is common in this season, the sky is filled with haze, some combination of humidity and pollution blowing across the sea from China. Unlike infrared photos taken when the atmosphere is clear where the result is then a pitch-black sky, now the sky glows a bright reddish orange, like the sun that envelops all.


In this video, Steve from Pentagon Vauxhall Oldham greets the customer and clearly shows the vehicle, creating a good first impression. Throughout the video.
Steve highlights the areas that require a red warning and why, he mixes it with 'good news' as well highlighting where things do not require any work.
This helps to build the trust factor with the customer.
Steve also highlights when to come back to the service centre to get things checked and communicates that they do a free tyre check, again this all helps build trust with the customer and increase the chances of repeat business.
The language used throughout it clear and understandable by someone who does not have technical car knowledge and finishes with a clear and strong call to action.


Simon Garrett is a partner in the Insurance Team. He has worked as a lawyer in the London insurance market since 2001. He acts for a variety of insurers, intermediaries and their insureds in defence of claims against them or advising on coverage issues.
Simon's practice focuses on claims against financial institutions, commercial D&O claims and complex professional indemnity disputes involving financial services companies and other professionals, particularly solicitors, IFA's, insurance brokers, accountants and other financial services professionals. Simon also represents clients facing investigations by regulatory bodies e.g. FCA, FRC, Lloyd's of London. Simon also regularly acts for the aviation insurance market dealing both with coverage issues and defence of insureds.
The financial regulator, the FCA, has announced that from 1 April 2019, the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) can make awards against regulated firms of up to £350,000. This comes into effect at the same time as the extension of the FOS to small and medium.
The challenges small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have in obtaining compensation from financial services providers has attracted the interest of the UK Government and the UK Financial Conduct Authority (the FCA) following the LIBOR rate rigging scandal.
Summary The Court of Appeal has recently upheld an award for damages in deceit against a company director who made false representations about her company's ability to pay for a cargo of sunflower oil.
Discrimination claims are inevitably highly fact-sensitive. However, the ruling in the Upper Tribunal Administrative Appeals Chamber, in the case of C & C v The Governing Body of a School, includes findings and comments of more general application in cases.

Last month I made a post, asking you for your thoughts and suggestions on how we can make the Xbox 360 experience better. This month, Id like to kick off another conversation this time around Marketplace. The Xbox Live Marketplace is an area where the community has had some vibrant and colorful discussions. Last week we posted details on some of the polices around Gamerscore, but I wanted to extend that to Marketplace. As you can imagine, we have some very specific guidelines and policies in place for Marketplace, but I want to open up the floor for discussion and see what the community thinks. Id like to frame this as what should the Xbox Live Marketplace 10 Commandments look like?

I had chicken shish at a local Middle Eastern restaurant today for lunch. We decided to call that our main meal of the day and made breakfast for dinner.
The best scrambled eggs I have ever eaten were at La Pyramide in Vienne, France. I think of them every time I make scrambled eggs. They were lovingly cooked for quite a while over a low flame while the eggs were agitated. The result was a creamy dish of eggs with small uniform curds. I always start my eggs thinking I will cook them slowly but run out of patience and turn up the flame resulting in larger curds.

Make Money on Youtube
It's no secret that content creators can make money on YouTube, but there is a lot of misinformation regarding how much money can be made and how it all works.
The YouTube monetization model is fairly complicated, and there are no easy routes to understanding it. The fastest path to getting all of the facts is to complete the YouTube Certification program. However, below you'll find some basic information and links to some resources that can help to lay the foundation for your understanding of YouTube monetization.
Monetization 101
CPM Rates
Video Count
YouTube charges advertisers a rate, called CPM, to display their ads on a video. CPM stands for cost-per-thousand impressions (where 'M' represents the Roman numeral for one thousand), meaning advertisers pay for each set of a thousand views of their ad, not views of your video. This is the most widely misunderstood element of monetizing on YouTube. CPM does not guarantee how many ads will display on your video, nor how many advertisers choose to advertise on your video.
CPMs vary greatly, but generally fall between $0.30 and $2.00.
Videos that are violent or otherwise in opposition to YouTube's community guidelines do not generate ad revenue.
The view count displayed under a YouTube video does not factor into ad revenue. Ad revenue is based on a video's 'monetized playbacks' which are often much fewer than the total view count.
Before the video owner sees any money, YouTube takes 45% of all ad revenue as its service fee for video hosting, ad sales, and infrastructure.

Key Takeaway: YouTube takes 45% of all ad revenue, and "most partners earn anywhere between $0.30 and $2.50 CPM…"

Key Takeaway: The three main components of the YouTube ecosystem are viewer, creator, and advertiser; there are many different kinds of ads on YouTube, and there are different costs associated with each.

Bulgaria's current Socialist President Georgi Parvanov took a further lead in the presidential race, the final votes count revealed. Parvanov garnered a record high 64.033 % of the votes, while the rival he will face at the run-off, leader of ultra-nationalist party Attack Volen Siderov won 21.491% of the votes. Parvanov's other main rival, the hardliner right-wing candidate Nedelcho Beronov ranked third with 9.737 % of the counted votes.
Fourth came the other rightist runner Georgi Markov, former constitutional judge and a symbolic figure of Bulgaria's transition to democracy. Markov, who ran together with young businesswoman Maria Ivanova, garnered 2.716% of the votes.
Parvanov ran together with Vice President Anguel Marin as an independent, but had the backing of the governing Socialist Party. An eventual victory would make him the first politician to win re-election, as no president has ever been re-elected since the collapse of the communist regime in 1989.
A total of about 11,400 polling sections across the country were opened for citizens to vote and more than six million Bulgarians were eligible to partake in the elections. The sites in the capital only were guarded by almost 2,000 police officers.
Bulgaria's Re-Election Headed President Georgi Parvanov is most likely to win in run-offs, gaining the lead over nationalist Volen Siderov, show surveys of drvrral sociology agency. According to the poll there will be no change in turnouts on Sunday, compared to October 22. Parvanov will win a convincing victory over Siderov in run-offs and is likely to get three quarters of the votes, MBMD pollster Petar Zhivkov said.
According to MBMD's exit polls from the first round of the elections, 40 % of the people who voted for rightists' candidate Nedelcho Beronov have declared they will not vote in run-offs if they are between Parvanov and Siderov. Part of the people will vote in run-offs not because they actually support Parvanov, but because they want to protect the European appearance of the country from ultra nationalist influence.


British photographer Nadav Kander is best known for Yangtze - The Long River, for which he earned the prestigious Prix Pictet award in 2009. In 2015, Nadav Kander began journeying to the Thames Estuary, to photograph the point of transition between the River Thames and the sea, creating atmospheric images of its slow-moving dark waters and seemingly infinite horizons.
On view for the first time in the United States, the works in this exhibition mark a shift towards the use of new image formats and an expanded use of media. Alongside the photographs are column-like steel water tanks, containing submerged objects extracted from the river, and a video installation The Edge of the Stream, with music specially commissioned by German-British composer Max Richter.
The elongated vertical photographic format recalls Chinese Shan Shui scroll painting, reflecting the abiding influence of Far Eastern aesthetics. Presented low to the ground, and with bodily proportions, they evoke a sense of weightlessness, inviting the viewer to 'step off' into the image.

Dr. Heather Herington's Blog
The Art of Good Health
November 21, 2019 by libidarising
Vaccination Article #1– updated November 7, 2019
Heather Herington BSc, NMD, DHANP
Except for the Wicked Witch of the West and the people in charge of putting people in cages at the southern border, I suspect most people genuinely care about children being and staying healthy. Unfortunately, the vaccination question has created this almost unmanageable divide between friends, families, doctors and government officials, all who feel they have the informed and compassionate answer.
So as I scrolled through Facebook, I paused at a post that read PEOPLE ARE IDIOTS WHO DON'T VACCINATE THEIR BABIES! Staring at the capitalized anger, my breath a series of sharp inhales, I wondered why the yelling, the intense judgment. I knew this woman; I had had lunch with her several years ago although a friendship had never developed. I remembered she had said something as vehemently on Facebook about GMOs shortly afterwards.
I sat down to mull over the divisiveness in the vaccination issue, what I could say to Testy Woman who was missing a few key concepts. During this time I returned to Canada and learned my thirteen-year old grandson already had an opinion after a discussion at his Montessori school, again based on lies from the CDC and Big Pharma that have so neatly wrapped Senator Pan in their claws. (This is for you, too, Oscar.)
As a naturopathic medical doctor, I have witnessed the onslaught of chronic disease – asthma, allergies, autoimmune disorders – and developmental disorders – autism, Tourette's and other neurological conditions—for over 30 years. Statistics show that child chronic illnesses in the US have more than doubled since 1994 with 33% of these having an environmental link.1, 2, 3
Natural medicine specializes in both the innate immune system, using a variety of modalities—food, botanicals, homeopathy, right thinking and so on—to prevent illness, and when ill, to support the acquired (also called adapted) immune system to ensure full recovery. I am continually on the lookout for pieces in the puzzle of healing specifically with roots in environmental toxicity apropos Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, so I was shocked to learn that scientists at the University of British Columbia—just a few miles from my former clinic—have had their studies on vaccines and aluminum retracted by research platforms. Why on earth is research being suppressed when we need to understand why this is happening from every angle?
As a society, especially at a time like this when everything seems off- kilter, we grasp on to certain myths like a scared child to apron strings. We don't get that vaccinations today are not the same vaccinations as yesteryear. Not only are the number and doses of vaccines required by schools today far greater, they contain additives that have the ability to cross the blood brain barrier and cause permanent injury. These substances, many adjuvants—probably not a word in your vocabulary unless you have a child who has been vaccine injured—used in a vaccine to stimulate the immune system or create fluidity, while other chemicals are used for preservation and longevity. Coupled with a minimal dose of an antigenic piece of virus (antigen), an adjuvant may provoke a higher antibody level against the virus, allowing for a reduced number of injections, therefore considered more efficient. However, aluminum, the most common adjuvant (in 18 of 32 vaccines), is a heavy metal, a neurotoxin that accumulates in the tissues of the brain, spinal cord and bones. Its toxicity was recorded in JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association) as far back as 1911! 4
The use of additives adjuvants began mid-century with peanut oil but it is the neurotoxins like aluminum and mercury and DNA fragments that do the most damage, as the brain is enormously susceptible to them especially during a period of rapid brain development in a baby or young child. At this time the blood brain barrier is not complete and gives a green light to dangerous substances, allowing them to infiltrate delicate brain tissue.
"NOTHING is known about the toxicology and pharmacological kinetics of aluminum compounds in infants and children," researcher Lucija Tomljenovic Ph.D. writes. "After almost a century of use its safety is based on assumptions rather than experimental evidence." 5,6,7 The FDA itself admits safety assessments are often not included in toxicity studies. Dr. Tomljenovic also discusses the flawed study design of vaccine trials wondering how it can be known that a vaccine is safe when aluminum is used as the adjuvant containing placebo or another vaccine as control group rather than a saline control. 5
According to the FDA, the maximum allowable dose of parenteral aluminum is 25 mcg/d yet the content in DTaP (DPT) ranges from 170-625 mcg, HPV has 500 mcg with other vaccines contain from 125 mcg to 1500 mcg. 24. Hepatitis B on the first day of life exposes a newborn to 14 times the acceptable level of Aluminum! 8
The JAMA article from 19114 describes aluminum in all its forms as toxic and cautions it should never be eaten (remember being told to eat only non-alum baking powder?) or injected. One study correlated detrimental exposure prenatal exposure to aluminum.9 Yet aluminum continues to be used in DTaP, Hepatitis A and B, Haem. influenzae, and the pneumococcal vaccine.
Other adjuvants in vaccines include formaldehyde,10 a known carcinogen; polysorbate 80 11 – a detergent that enables substances to cross the blood brain barrier; thimerosal,12 a form of mercury, another neurotoxin; and free amino acids and proteins from cows, chickens and aborted fetuses. Referring to the latter, Thomas Cowan, M.D. cautions, "spillage of {foreign} DNA from inside the cell into the bloodstream…"13 can happen, setting off an antibody-mediated immune reaction; as new antibodies to this foreign DNA are created, the cycle becomes a destructive loop. Dr. Helen Ratajczak 14 noticed this in 1995, almost a quarter of a century ago, and correlated non-typed human DNA in vaccines to autism. Knowing blood transfusions must include genetic "typing" for compatibility, she wonders why this is not being done with vaccines on a routine basis.
Another problem is inadvertent inclusions. Citing an ingredient in the herbicide RoundUp, MIT scientist, Dr. Stephanie Seneff warns, "glyphosate could easily be present in vaccines due to the fact that certain vaccine viruses (including measles in MMR and flu virus) are grown on gelatin derived from the ligaments of pigs fed heavy doses of glyphosate in their GMO feed. Livestock feed is allowed to have up to 400 PPM of glyphosate residues by the EPA, thousands of times higher than has been shown to cause harm in numerous studies."15
Researchers are uncovering the insidious nature of adjuvants and additives as you read this, implicating a growing range of immune-mediated diseases triggered by these noxious additions. In fact, Israeli researcher, Yehuda Schoenfeld, has named this syndrome, ASIA, short for Autoimmune/inflammatory Syndrome Induced by Adjuvants. Developing slowly over months to years, the mechanism of action is not completely understood but one thing seems sure – these contaminants hit their target organ (brain, gut etc) and are not easily flushed from the body.16, 17
Thomas Cowan, M.D. writes in his book Vaccines, Autoimmunity and the Changing Nature of Childhood Illness, "Unfortunately the last century is a story of reckless interference with our immune system and, in particular, interference with our cell-mediated immune response."13 He is referring to the fact vaccines only use the humoral or antibody response (a Th2 reaction) that has no elimination stage. Basically, how can the adjuvants/additives get out of the body efficiently if we aren't allowing the cell-mediated (Th2 response) that has this capability? The innate immune system will try to excrete them but complete clearing is a difficult if not an impossible task, and is also dependent on your genetic ability to do so. Those with the MTHFR gene have diminished ability to excrete dangerous substances like neurotoxic adjuvants.
Cowan goes on: "We have been taught to fear cell-mediated immunity (i.e., symptoms) or at least to see it as a nuisance. In traditional cultures, the activity of the cell-mediated immunity was often approached with a kind of reverence."
On the other hand, innate immunity, when the virus enters through natural routes such as mucous membranes it causes symptoms – fever, coughing, rash – makes a pathway for immune cells to kill and then eliminate the virus. Both parts of our acquired immunity – cell-mediated (symptoms generated) (Th1) and the humoral system (antibodies produced) (Th2) – are activated. In vaccination only Th2 is activated.
Activating both TH1 and TH2 means that immunity lasts a lifetime to that particular virus. With vaccination, the antibodies can wane and boosters are needed, adding even more adjuvants that are unable to be easily eliminated, especially in children with a genetic disadvantage. This is the crux of the problem.
It's not just scientists and progressive doctors sounding the alarm. Suzanne Humphries MD, a board certified hospital nephrologist, came to understand the effect of the flu vaccine on the kidneys in a geriatric population yet her assessments were dismissed. She asks in her book, Dissolving Illusions: "What else is being ignored and misinterpreted today?" I see Humphries and other truth sayers akin to Carson who in her 1962 book, Silent Spring, warned about toxins in the external environment; these doctors and scientists warn of the internal environment affected.
Vaccination, considered by society at large to be the greatest medical procedure of all time, has strayed from its beginning needs hoping to eradicate the horror of smallpox.
Originally from rodents, smallpox was described in Indian texts as early as 1500 BCE, 18-25 found on an Egyptian mummy in 1145 BCE and hit Japan in 735- 737 CE 22 killing one-third of the population. It roamed Africa, the Middle and the Far East for thousands of years and by the 16th century was blowing across Europe like an evil wind. Becoming the leading cause of death in the 18th century, it killed Chief Sitting Bull, Aztec Chief Cuitlåhuac, Inca ruler Huayna Capac and 80% of First Nations through exposure to often intentionally contaminated blankets.18-25 No wonder people were looking for a way to deal with this deadly and disfiguring disease.
But we aren't in Kansas anymore. Smallpox has been eradicated and it was aided by a revolution in sanitation, public health and personal hygiene. Vaccination's initial discovery, a global response to smallpox, is way past its sell by date. Yet, it is not to be questioned, not to be disputed in professional circles or with people like Testy Woman. It's imperative we realize we are holding on to a procedure that has become a myth that has never been scrutinized in the way other drugs must be in terms of clinical trials.
For its time and the depth of the tragedy of smallpox, there was an incredible genius regarding variolation, the precursor to vaccination. I first learned about this procedure – from the Latin word for smallpox, Variola – when I homesteaded in Nova Scotia in the 1970s. Midwife and herbalist, Marie- Henriette LeJeune aka Granny Ross, emigrated from France in the late 1700s, bringing a vial of smallpox serum with her to protect her family and community. This intrepid Acadian was courageous and a visionary. Variolation would have been a very good thing in the 1700s, and had been used for a few thousand years all over the world.
Using ground up scabs and fluid from pustules, this is either blown up a person's nose (Chinese 1000 BCE) 18 or scratched into the skin with a lancet or bifurcated points (Middle East, Africa, Nova Scotia). Variolation still caused a risk of death but much less, .5 to 2 % compared to 30 to 35% if contracted the disease itself. 18, 19 Another technique, used again in late 1700s, this time in Sudan, is similar to the goal of chicken pox parties today. A mother would barter with the mother of an infected child and after agreeing on a price per pustule, tie a cloth around the child's arm and return home to tie it around their own child's arm.
In Turkey, 1718, another brave woman, Lady Montagu, wife of the British ambassador, learned variolation from old women, taking the technique back to England where the Royal Society of Medicine failed to see its value. Edward Jenner came along several decades later, using the same procedure but with pus from a cow disease and again the Royal Society balked. Jenner vaccinated more people, changing the name variolation to vaccination from the Latin word "vacca," for cow. (Oh branding, catches a person unaware.) Jenner was "mocked by scientists and pilloried in press" with cartoonists drawing cows growing out of his head. Yet the rest is history; a history that embodies "the greatest medical discovery of all time." 18, 19, 25
But can we really say that now? No, we can't, or we shouldn't. Because of that strange word: adjuvants, harmful neurotoxins or other contaminants injected into a muscle that may end up in a vulnerable brain causing permanent injury.
These weren't included in the brilliant discovery by desperate people around the world to eliminate a deadly disease that had occurred for hundreds if not thousands of years. But they are now, in almost every vaccine.
And this is why I helped in the fight against SB276 – a California bill that affects fragile children. I have been shocked to tears to witness the trauma these families are experiencing. "Death by vaccination" stories sat on my desk now, sixteen of them; devastating to read. The health authorities and government need to know these stories to conduct appropriate studies. People, children mostly, have died and continue to die from vaccinations. Or they have seizures and/or develop autism, no matter who denies this. Or go on to have any number of immune-mediated diseases. This tragedy is not being taken seriously to the extent parents are being both mocked and attacked, a la Testy Woman. It crushes my heart.
I have started to write the hashtag, #theparentsknow. Because they do. They are the ones who bear the brunt of the paucity of research on vaccine safety who, twenty-four hours a day, tend a harmed child or suffer the grief of one who has succumbed.
The brilliance of variolation has been turned on its head. Adding adjuvants without proper studies or recourse for injury has caused extraordinary misery through disease and death. How ironic that this is exactly what was hoping to be eliminated in the first place!
When I was studying Biology for my first degree I was told in no uncertain terms that it is essential to keep an open mind. Yet the culture of heads-in-the- sands medical professionals and government officials predominates, perpetuating the myth of vaccines being harmless. The media broadcasts this message far and wide, brainwashing the public, creating the least scientific and perhaps the lowest point in the history of allopathic medicine.
It is unconscionable that California is not just forcing regular children to be vaccinated with damaging adjuvants and additives but has taken away medical exemptions from fragile children; families traumatized for no scientific basis.
We bathe in the belief that vaccines are created equally, that the extraordinary benefit of vaccines must extend to ALL vaccines and ALL people when that is simply not true. No one wants to harm children, not even Testy Woman. We just refuse to look at the facts. Why the medical establishment and the government are not willing to even consider heavy metals and other incompatible substances are crossing the blood brain barrier and causing irreparable damage is beyond me.
What is needed is right in front of us: good research without pressure from the CDC or Big Pharma. If society only had an ounce of the curiosity and courage of the original "variolators" – the old women, mothers including Lady Montagu and Granny Ross, and Dr. Jenner, we might find a way out of this mess. Until then, children will be injured; babies will die.
Isn't it time we smartened up?

Do you wonder how to buy the perfect modern chair? The top interior designer Marcel Wanders gives us 5 modern chair ideas that will inspire you.
Marcel Wanders' private residence project in Amesterdam. With 102m2 of surface and a garden of 100m2, it strangely symbolizes the typical home space for the Netherlands. With these specifications, the space had to be very rationally organized.
The house modern design abounds with strong details which provide monumentality. The boundary between inside and outside, and between architecture and nature are blurred. The dining chair design is absolutely astonishing.
Living room design at the private residence Taipei. It combines Marcel's design signature with local-inspired elements. Each space is lovingly conceived as a jewelry box with attention to detail, richly decorative reliefs and bespoke furniture setting the tone. All rooms are individually designed to provide a unique experience.
Modern chairs ideas: white bar chairs.
Project by Marcel Wanders. Black upholstered chairs.
Marcel Wanders (Boxtel, 1963) graduated in Arnhem in 1988 after being expelled from Eindhoven Design Academy. In 1995 he opened his studio in the beating heart of the Dutch capital, Amsterdam, quickly coming to worldwide attention in 1996 for his iconic Knotted Chair, which paired high tech materials with 'low tech' production methods.

St. James Police Dept. receives de-escalation grant; incoming training simulator
St. James is one of 45 law enforcement agencies to be awarded a de-escalation training grant from the United States Department of Justice.
St. James Police
By Maddie Paul and Sean Morawczynski
Published: Oct. 21, 2022 at 11:41 AM CDT
ST. JAMES, Minn. (KEYC) - The city of St James received a grant of more than $155,000 for its police department, all of which will be going towards a VirTra V-180 Training Simulator System.
"Very few agencies in the country got a grant such as this to help improve the training. We're a growing town. We're looking to improve things and we're going to do whatever we can to make that happen," assistant chief of St. James police Chet Anderson said.
It aims to help officers learn about de-escalation, autism awareness and other methods of communication with the public.
"It's going to be quite game-changing and innovative for police work in Minnesota," Anderson said.
There are a total of three locations in Minnesota for this simulation, but St. James will hold the first VirTra Training in Greater Minnesota.
The VirTra Simulator has multiple screens with 180 degrees of coverage, immersing an officer within a realistic environment for training- which is also cost-effective.
"If you had to go to an in-person, scenario-based training, just the infrastructure of actors- it's almost like you're producing a TV show in front of you for training. Certainly not affordable," Anderson said.
St James police hope to bring in other agencies across Minnesota and northern Iowa to make use of the incoming simulator.
"To be able to provide good quality training, to help improve the level of our officers, and improve the quality of the product, and all of that, is what we really look for in leadership at our police department," Anderson said.

x place: erm, a pub somewhere in notting hill...
x time: early evening, monday 5th may 2000
x who: why, mr. jamie hince, of course!
x why: note, this is fiji's website... duh..
. .. .... .
here i am talking with jamie over a drink, trying to be a professional journalist, or something (hmmm... that's why you'll see it's plainly written in conversation style!), thinking that all musician-types hate one thing most of all. that one thing being interviews! however, jamie appeared more enthusiastic than most bands. thankfully.
well, where to start? one of those 'tell us something about yourself/biog.' questions, i think. yes, a predictable question, but somewhere to start nevertheless... so jamie, tell us something about fiji!..
j.h. a lot of it's [done] by doing stuff in my bedroom really. after i'd finished doing scarfo, i had a load of tunes that i was doing in my bedroom and then um... i got offered some studio time. so i went into a space with some amazing - it was like um, loads and loads of really ancient/old - gear that didn't work very well. and so i just recorded it all there on my own, just playing everything - i didn't really wanna get a band together... but i did cos of the live thing.
l.d. so are they going into the studio w/ you next time around?
j.h. no!...
l.d. ...you prefer the freedom of doing yr. own thing?
j.h. yeah, i s'pose... control!... nah, it's like... i change my mind all the time - i just like messing around with things. if you get someone to play a part on something then... it's just a lot easier if i can just, like, fuck around on the keyboard 'til i'm happy with something. i find, anyway!
l.d. couldn't you do gigs on yr. own then? (do an elliott smith!)
j.h. i don't know if i'm brave enough to do that.. i mean, elliott smith's fantastic!.. i would like to do that at some point. i saw polly harvey and john parish - just the two of them; it was one of the best things i've ever seen. fantastic...i'd quite like to do that... i don't just wanna go out with a guitar though; i'd like to have loads of stuff...
l.d. theremins... kazoos...!
j.h. yeah... loads of old keyboards and that. just mess around really.
l.d. have you tried it?
j.h. no. but i will now. in fact i'm gonna try it tomorrow!
l.d. what happened to scarfo? do you mind talking about that?
j.h. no, i don't mind. um, it just kind of... ran its course. we just kept getting run over and having car accidents... well, when al had a car accident we didn't do anything for ages. and then we did an album - and then we all had a car accident. then the next record's like, delayed for ages. and then by that time i'd sort of spent a lot of time doing stuff on my own.
l.d. i remember hearing some later scarfo stuff that you didn't release: americana, one-eighty, sinatra cars... i really loved those!
j.h. ...yeah, i really like that - i might nick some of the words from it, or something.
l.d. would you ever consider doing a scarfo song onstage now?!
j.h. yeah... well one of our songs is an old scarfo song - it's called for pinko - it was on the b-side of a single ages ago. i just did it at home on my 4-track... i'm not bothered with that, but i just like messing around with more electronic stuff than scarfo who were more of a 3-piece thing really.
l.d. does that mean you listen to a lot of dance stuff then?
j.h. no i don't listen to dance stuff. i just like odd-sounding things, i dunno - like le tigre: some of the samples and drum machines just sound fantastic... and sparklehorse...
l.d. have you heard of quasi?
j.h. yeah. that's the woman from sleater-kinney, isn't it?... wasn't she married to elliott smith?
l.d. she was married to the other person in quasi, sam...
j.h. have you got elliott smith's new album then? what's it like? i haven't heard it yet.
l.d. yeah it's v. good, very piano-orientated. (hang on a mo. i'm the one who asks the questions here!...) anyway, back to fiji, then!.. why do you call yourself that? it seems a bit odd...
j.h. yeah i know... well, i had to think of a name, i had real trouble, and i was talking to my mum and she says that was where i was conceived. so i thought: "hey, that's quite good!" then i wanted to call it 'fuji' cos it sounded like cameras, but i had some copyright trouble with it. And then when my mum said i was conceived in fiji - and well, that's quite cool - i just came home one day and there was, like, a fiji two-dollar bill on my table cos someone had gone there and brought it back. and so i thought: "hey that's a sign!"
l.d. you've got that on the cover of pillshop (the 2 dollar bill)...
j.h. yeah i photocopied it, then screen printed it.
l.d. (interruption, to take a couple of photos) you should put your 'comedy glasses' on!
j.h. (wears them) yeah, they're great 'cos they cover up your whole face - that's what's really cool about them!
l.d. future gigs?..
j.h. i dunno... i've been a bit lazy to be honest... i've got all these licensing deals set up, um, in america, japan, and europe. and they wanna release a full-length album, so i've gotta record another six songs. i went into the studio and recorded six and decided i wasn't happy with 'em after a while... so, i've got to do some more... so, then, when i've done that, maybe tour for a bit then, but i don't know when that'll be...
l.d. no festival appearances planned then?
j.h. no... i might go to some... but all the line-ups are really rubbish...
l.d. that's true - like the stereophonics/oasis at reading, etc..
j.h. stereophonics - like, what's it about?!
l.d. exactly - what is it about?.. well, you'll just have to get famous and take over the whole...
j.h. ...yeah, well write some more fucking songs quickly, anyway!
l.d. how long does it take to write a song?
j.h. it fucking takes me ages, 'cos i just keep writing them, and then pressing erase and keep re-doing them.
l.d. music first or lyrics first?
j.h. a bit of both really... yeah, it depends. sometimes i just come up with a title, and just like think "yeah!" and write something around that... but, i dunno, it just depends. i don't find it easy... but i really like playing music, and i'll sort of mess around at home and come up with something that i really, really like, but it'll just be a tiny little thing, y'know - and i won't wanna touch it... it'll be like "listen to this," and everyone'll go, "that's just a sound, that's not a song!" and i'm like, "yeah, but i'm gonna make it into a song."
l.d. what about a song like, lucien turns blue - how did you come to write that?
j.h. i did that for someone's, um - someone had a photography exhibition. they wanted some music, so i just wrote it, like, two days before the thing, i dunno. it had a real sort of hip-hop beat and stuff...
l.d. ...i thought it sounded like a lil' nursery rhyme when i first heard it!... in a nice way!..
j.h. (laughing) did you?! nah, that sounds alright... so i just did it for that really, and then i ended up using it.
l.d. ... my mum works in the geriatrics ward of a hospital + she really likes the song (!) - played it in the ward once..!
j.h. oh no!... oh cool: "are we dead yet?!.." - i like it!
l.d. why didn't you get into acting, since you've studied it?
j.h. i did!.. but not for very long. i did, um... i wrote plays! i wrote 3 one-man plays and i went up to edinburgh festival and did one up there - performed it. and then i did a couple of little films, just little parts in the films. and then, um, i did some music for a show i was doing, and we got signed when i was with scarfo, so i thought "oh, i'll do this for a bit" - and that was about five years ago...
l.d. so, do you think you'll ever get back into acting?
j.h. yeah, i wanna make a film. i've got a camera and stuff... and i'm sort of, part of this screen writing workshop. someone's asked me to write a film for channel four, so i'm gonna do that - but i don't know if i'll be in it, 'cos it's... it's about fucking football mascots. it's like, i hate football, i don't know anything about it... yeah i'd like to do acting again - i like it. a lot.
l.d. as much as music?
j.h. sometimes... doing, like, theatre is like playing live. but a thousand times more sort of, real. cos when you play live, i find you just hide behind the noise and volume... but with acting it's like, there's five minutes while they count you down before you go on.. it's like being in a car crash, yeah it's like: "aaaaagrhh"(he screams!) and you say, "why am i doing this?" and then you go on there and do it, and it's alright.... music is really thankless. and, you know what it's like, you wait for someone's album, and the build-up is, like, months and months, you hear about it all the time. then it comes out, and a week later it's like bang, y'know, forget it, the things only have a shelf life, a really, really short time. and also, there are thousands and thousands of bands around, and there's not much theatre, so it's sort of a little bit more challenging. a bit. i dunno... i like 'em both. but when i did this acting in films i hated it, i thought it was awful... there's no nerves involved. i like feeling nervous. it's just like: run through, have rehearsal and you just go through the motions, do your scene, and then they go: "do it again... do it again." and then you're ready to do it and they say, "ok, it's in the can!" and it's like, "what? i didn't even know i was doing it."
l.d. what about your image - d'ya pay much attention to it/have you an image?!
j.h. yeah... um, i don't think so, i don't know. no, not really... i find it hard, because um, i got the band together really quickly - and they all do different things - and i feel like i really love the people in my band, but i don't feel like it's my home, y'know. i'm a bit troubled by it, actually - i don't wanna talk about it too much... i'm a bit troubled by it.
l.d. is that why you go into the recording studio by yourself?
j.h. yeah - totally - i feel like i know exactly what i'm doing then. and, i don't know, it depends how you describe it, but i guess it's like.. on the one hand it sounds really, really horrible saying that, y'know - but i'm not comfortable...
l.d. were yr. 'backing band' in other bands before fiji?
j.h. sarah plays for another band. she's a model - she, like, models for armani, and that's her 'dough' and she plays in another band... who are rubbish! and er, the drummer is like a jazz drummer - just plays jazz, which i hate... and don [bassist], he's been in most bands - julian cope band; d'you remember tiger? he was in them; and he was in prolapse...
l.d. ok... how about yr. fascination w/ satan, then!!..
j.h. yeah... i was christened, just church of england, regular sort of... yeah, my mum and dad aren't religious or anything. well my dad kinda believes in god - well he watches songs of praise when my nan's around!..
l.d. did you go to a religious school?
j.h. that's really strange, yeah i did - really early on. i used to live in africa and i went to a school called st. peter's... it was a catholic school, and it was all run by nuns... i get this sort of image thing: i like the imagery. and i think it's incredible that something so obviously a fucking fairy story from thousands of years ago... like, if you think of the world without any faith - without any god - it would fall apart. and it amazes me that you can use something that is so obviously a fairy story, and it just still... sorry am i offending you?
l.d. (laughing) god, no!...
j.h. ...i'm not sort of seriously into satan - that's stupid - i'm not at all... i listen to loads of really, really old blues records like robert johnson and blind willie johnson, from like, the 30's... and they sound really haunting, y'know this old guy tapping his foot, and singing like... he's possessed! and they all sing about god, y'know like lordy lordy and all that. i listen to it all the time and i just like it - i wanted to write my own version of it; 4-track jesus which is about how it's all a bit silly... fuckin' praying...(laughter)
l.d. so can we expect to hear you making some 'scary' music, now?!
j.h. yeah... i've got my moog working... i've got a theremin - this guy in camden makes 'em, they're really little ones, not full-size ones... but i really like spooky music. i'd like to do the music from a horror film.
l.d. mmm, there's a need of, say, 'dark' music, cos of all that britney spears type stuff that's around!...
j.h. yeah - i just don't know where people get their energy from to write music like that, y'know... i'm as likely to buy a record like that as i am likely to buy one of those storybook cassette things.
l.d. ...have you had a chance to look at this site yet?
j.h. no, i haven't got access to the net. well, my friend's got it... i looked ages ago - you came to the gig at the ulu didn't you? yeah, cos after that i looked it up but it didn't exist!...
l.d. well, that's cos i'd only written one page or something when i'd spoken to you at the ulu!..
j.h. ...and there's this other guy [doing a fiji site].. but i don't know if he hates me or something, but he hasn't done anything on it for ages so every time i look at it, it has the same things from last year... did you design your website yourself, then?
l.d. yeah, i did everything myself.
j.h. i'm gonna look at it tonight. it had better be good, or i'll phone you up and fucking complain!...
l.d. great - you'll be sending me death threats then?!!... hmmm, running low on questions! - what about plans for world domination?!!
j.h. um, nah i'm not that interested in world domination... i know i keep banging on about it, but i'm so bored of this recording thing - i don't mean bored of the music, just bored of it not being finished, and that's the only thing i can think about really. and i keep getting promised all these things that when i deliver the songs this is gonna happen and that's gonna happen so... i'd just like to be in the position where i'm not doing one-off little gigs. so far it has been alright... i dunno, there was a point up until the first ten gigs were all sold out, and i felt really like: "hey - this is great!" yeah, i just wanna get back into playing bigger places.
l.d. where do you see yourself in five years?
j.h. um, new york.
l.d. that wouldn't be bad... as fiji?
j.h. i dunno.. i think actually, going back to this sort of egomania thing - that's what i liked about it when it started: it was sort of my thing - my thing musically, and my pseudonym was fiji. and now it's become more of a band - and as soon as i'm in a band i wanna be in another band.
l.d. can't you be without a band?
j.h. yeah, but i can't cos i need people to do things for me... i'd like to keep doing this. yeah, but i wanna move to new york, really. i wanna get this record deal in new york and then move over there.
l.d. they take art more seriously...
j.h. yeah, over here, if you do any art... it's like "why are you doing it"? a friend of mine's a painter and she sells more work - makes more money than most people just do in crap jobs...
l.d. have you done any visual art?
j.h. not really... but i'm really into photography...
l.d. what about the covers of singles etc. do you design those?
j.h. yeah, all those are my photos and stuff. and i like screen printing stuff. i just really like to hand printing stuff. i love screen printing.
l.d. and besides, that makes it all your own then, with the music and the covers...
j.h. yeah. i like all that stuff when you get faults and things, especially with screen printing, y'know..
l.d. ...maybe you should just go by your name, jamie...
j.h. yeah maybe. i thought about that but knowing me i'd want to be different - not stuck with my own name!..

Q: Raspberry Pi 3 - How to install FFMPEG using python newest version I'm trying to install FFMPEG on Raspberry Pi 3, with libx265 support (H265 coding).
The main purpose is to batch transcode h264 videos on my HD and convert them to h265 to save space on disk.
I found this useful guide https://gist.github.com/enzanki-ars/7d67996a90883e928bc1dd2db7ef0351
But at the moment i get an error regarding libx265-dev during configure procedure (line 116 in the link above): if you look into configure file (inside ffmpeg unpacked folder) you find
require_cpp_condition libx265 x265.h "X265_BUILD >= 70"

this leads to console error below
ERROR: X265_BUILD >= 70 not satisfied

If you think configure made a mistake, make sure you are using the latest
version from Git.  If the latest version fails, report the problem to the
ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org mailing list or IRC #ffmpeg on irc.freenode.net.
Include the log file "ffbuild/config.log" produced by configure as this will help
solve the problem.

Anyone has an idea?

The National Galleries of Ancient Art in Palazzo Barberini present the exhibition for the two anniversaries of Caravaggio's Judith and Holofernes, seventy years after its rediscovery and fifty years after its acquisition by the Italian State.
The painting by Merisi, executed in 1599 and rediscovered in 1951 by Pico Cellini, one of the main restorers of the 20th century, was never sold. It remained in Rome until the mid-19th century to then become part of the heritage of the National Galleries of Ancient Art in 1971.
On display are 31 works of art that reveal the innovative communicative power of the great artist of the Baroque in his contemporary painting milieu and show violence and seduction in painting between the 16th and 17th centuries, as highlighted by the exhibition subtitle. The paintings - almost all of large dimensions - come from prestigious national and international institutions, such as the Galleria Corsini and Galleria Palatina in Florence; the Prado Museum in Madrid; the Capodimonte Museum in Naples; the Galleria Borghese in Rome; the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna; the Oslo Museum.
The exhibition path, curated by Maria Cristina Terzaghi, is divided into four sections. It opens with Giuditta al bivio tra Maniera e Natura (Giuditta at the crossroads between Style and Nature), a selection of 16th-century works, showing the first signs of the theme new interpretation. Among them, the paintings of Pierfrancesco Foschi, Lavinia Fontana, Tintoretto and a disciple of Bartholomeus Spranger.
The second section is dedicated to Caravaggio e i suoi primi interpreti (Caravaggio and his first interpreters). It focuses on the canvas of Judith beheading Holofernes by Merisi, a murder that represents a breakthrough moment with tradition. Displayed the works of the first painters who, in some way, had news of Caravaggio's painting: from Trophime Bigot to Valentin de Boulogne, from Louis Finson to Bartolomeo Mendozzi, from Giuseppe Vermiglio to Filippo Vitale. The fury of the crime contrasts with the sensual and thoughtful Judith beauty, inspires and gives way to new interpretations of the biblical episode.
The third section, Artemisia Gentileschi e il teatro di Giuditta (Artemisia Gentileschi and the Giuditta's theatre), takes its name from the main interpreter of the theme. It winds through the masterpieces of the two Gentileschi, Orazio and Artemisia, together with the paintings by Giovanni Baglione, Johan Liss, Bartolomeo Manfredi, Pietro Novelli, Mattia Preti, Giuseppe Vermiglio and the rare Biagio Manzoni, one of the news of the exhibition.
Le virtù di Giuditta. Giuditta e Davide, Giuditta e Salomé (The virtues of Judith. Judith and David, Judith and Salome) is the fourth and last section. It compares the theme of Judith and Holofernes and that of David and Goliath, in which virtue, cunning and youth, allegorically represented, triumph over the brute strength of the tyrant, finally beheaded. Salome, responsible for the martyrdom and beheading of John the Baptist, is often confused with the theme of Judith in the pictorial representation. On display are the works by Valentin de Boulogne, Francesco Rustici, and the workshop of Giovanni Bilivert.
The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue published by Officina Libraria.

Q: Type Error when trying to socket due to python reading host as a tuple Ight, so im a complete novice when it comes to python, so try not to laugh when you see my code. Im trying to make a simple socketing server and client where i can send some data from the client to the server and have it send it back. Here it is:
Server:
import socket
def Main():
    print("--------------------------------------------------------------------------------")
    print("Please input host. If field left blank, host is localhost")
    host = input()
    if host == "":
        host = "127.0.0.1"
    print("Please input port. Now that i think about it, don't, unless told to, just leave it as is (Blank)")
    port = input()
    if port == "":
        port = 5000
    print("--------------------------------------------------------------------------------")
    #############################################################################################################################################

    s = socket.socket()
    s.bind((host,port))

    s.listen(1)
    c, addr = s.accept()
    print("Connecton from: " + str(addr))
    while True:
        data = c.recv(1024).decode("utf-8")
        if not data:
            break
        print("From connected user: " + data)
        data = data * 2 #This is just to test if it works, by doubing it
        print("Sending: " + data)
        c.send(data.encode("utf-8"))
    s.close

if __name__ == "__main__":
    Main()

Right, so here is my client:
import socket

def Main():
    host = '127.0.0.1'
    port = 5000

    s = socket.socket
    s.connect((host,port))

    message = input("-> ")
    while message != "quit":
        s.send(message.encode("utf-8"))
        data = s.recv(1024).decode("utf-8")
        print("Recicved from server: "+ data)
        message = input("-> ")
    s.close()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    Main()

Ya see, if i try to run the client, i get a Type Error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/Napoleon/Desktop/Szymon/Python/Client.py", line 34, in <module>
    Main()
  File "C:/Users/Napoleon/Desktop/Szymon/Python/Client.py", line 20, in Main
    s.connect((host,port))
TypeError: descriptor 'connect' requires a '_socket.socket' object but received a 'tuple'

So could any of you help me figure out what is going on wiht my code.
Thanks in advance! :)

A: s = socket.socket

is aliasing the class socket, so s.connect won't work, you need an instance of the socket object:
s = socket.socket()

(I must admit the error is not very easy to understand)

A: replace
s = socket.socket

with
s = socket.socket()

Basically you need to use the socket object not the instance class definition
