CTR, nice work on the time trials
RDR II. I just didn't enjoy it enough to pour that kind of time into it.
Longest Platinum
in PlayStation Network
Diablo 3: 4 years, 7 months
Most Recent Platinum
#50 - Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night
Game Enjoyment: 8/10
Platinum enjoyment: 5/10
Difficulty 4/10
I enjoyed this game as a whole, but the platinum would up being a pretty insane grind. I think I beat the game at about 15 hours, and got the platinum at about 30 hours. Most of those extra hours were spent on one trophy which was getting every item in the game. Most of them need to be crafted, which means you need certain crafting items from specific enemies or chests in an area, and some of them have really low drop rates. This wouldn't have been so bad if not for the sheer ridiculous number of weapons in the game. That's great for play variety and aiming for a specific powerful weapon for your combat style, but for a trophy it was pretty tedious and unrewarding. It also made some of the technical issues with the game much more apparent, such as pretty obnxious loading times between screens after warping between fast travel points. But the game itself was really fun and I enjoyed my time with it.
Difficulty: 3/10
Enjoyment: 9/10
This was a really fun game. I never did really get into seasons, so the 1 point of enjoyment came from the grinding of level 70 for multiple characters
I got this game because I loved Doom (2016) and the game play looked fun, which it was. But the desire to keep the driving element from the first one and turn it into a more open world hurt it a bit. It's basically a first person shooter version of Mad Max, but the driving isn't as good, you basically stick to roads 99% of the time, the areas to clear/search just aren't as well designed as in Mad Max (probably due to a 3rd vs 1st person perspective), and there just nothing compelling about the car upgrades, which was a huge part of Mad Max. If this had been condensed to a 12 hour shooter like Doom and played more with the weapon mechanics it would have been brilliant.
Enjoyment: 10/10
I adore this game. I certainly hope another puzzler of it's kind comes along that is as compelling as this one. Learning the puzzle rules and finally figuring out a rule you've been struggling with is simply some of the best feelings I've had in almost any game. I did the whole game without a guide so it's one of my proudest platinums. The The Final challenge put me off of getting the platinum because I just wasn't in the mood to tackle it until recently, but it wound up only taking about 3 hours to complete.
Headlander
To be honest I stopped playing this game when I first got it. The shooting just felt off and I guess I wasn't in the mood for a Metroidvania. I finally came back and finished it in about two days. I didn't really find the story all that compelling. Some interesting ideas, but not as interesting as I was hoping given the concept. Still a fairly fun little game.
Most Rewarding Platinum/s in the past year?
God of war (just over a year ago, but only by 10 days). Such a fun game to experience all around. Even the challenge stuff and post-game bosses were so much fun.
e3 2019 reactions
in Consoles
This was clearly a wrap up year for the current console generation. I don't think it was bad if that's taken into account. A lot of the stuff in the works aren't going to be announced until we see the new consoles. There were some good things going on, however. Microsoft had some interesting stuff. Blair Witch was unexpected and looks pretty good and it was nice to finally see something for Fallen Order. Not a lot of "new" stuff, even among the indie stuff. Like I'd seen gameplay for 12 minutes a long time ago but it looks a bit cleaner now. Bethesda was a bit Meh. Nothing really new. Deathloop and Ghostwire are intriguing, but I'm not really hyped for them yet without knowing more. Nice Doom gameplay, but I was going to play that anyway. Ubisoft was also underwhelming, but I wasn't expecting much. Watch Dogs Legion looks interesting, but such a massive concept is going to require some serious proof of viability over the entire game length. But honestly the rest of the conference was mostly Tom Clancy clone games, of which I only really play The Division. Gods & Monsters was the only thing that really interested me, but they showed basically nothing and was a weird way to end the conference. This is a shame, because I know Ubisoft is capable of publishing some great games that's aren't their big tentpole games. Square Enix was honestly not exciting. A lot of iterations on existing properties. FFVII remake looks like fun, but I'm not sure I want that game broken up into parts. And I was not at all into the Avengers reveal. It felt really outdated and just weird, but I'll have to wait for actual game play. Nintendo may be considered to win because they do just what Nintendo fans want them to do. Older games on the Switch (I really don't understand that). Pokemon (woohoo?). Animal crossing (delayed). I mean, I guess Nintendo fans were satisfied, but I can't remember the last time Nintendo wowed me with anything. Then they pulled a Metroid Prime 4 with Zelda. Tell you they're working on something but that could be years and years away, but people jump on it anyway like it's some big shock that it's happening.
Like I said, I think this was just a tough year because all the big Games aren't going to be announced in the last year of a console generation, IMO. So anyone expecting more was probably not being realistic. So I'd say the conference met my expectations which weren't all that high.
Summer 2019 Backlog Challenge
in Community Events, Contests & "We Plays"
I am using my game swap. I swapped out Sound Shapes for Batman: The Telltale Series. I didn't realize Sound Shapes had so much DLC that I don't own and don't plan to get. My list is now as follows (I also updated my original post):
Fez - 23% (completed June 1)
Game of Thrones - 21%
Until Dawn - 20%
Axiom Verge - 4%
Headlander - 12%
The Talos Principle - 5%
Odin Sphere - Leifthrasir - 12%
Batman: The Telltale Series - 0%
Neon Chrome - 10%
Salt and Sanctuary - 7%
Knack - 5%
Astro Bot - 4%
Fez - 23% > 100% (completed June 1)
The Talos Principle - 5% > 10%
Sound Shapes - 0%
Finished Fez. I totally had to use a walkthrough the negative cubes or I wouldn't have ever finished this game. It's a fun puzzler, but some of the harder stuff was so insane that I just didn't want to pour the time into it.
The I restarted The Talos Principle. I'm going to avoid using a walkthrough for individual puzzles until I start going for stars which I've heard are insane. Got though Area A last night and actually got a friend to play with me so we are playing at the same time. This game tests your ability to think outside the box that makes these puzzles far more interesting to solve than Fez, IMO. Very reminiscent of my all time favorite puzzler, The Witness.
Post the last ultra rare trophy you earned
The Jackbox Party Pack 2
Quiplash XL: Pork Pants (3.93%)
Advise the next plat to the person above you
Bloodborne. One of my favorites of the generation.
It's 10:30 and you haven't earned a Trophy today
Every once in a while I go on a trophy kick and like to keep a streak going. When that happens I usually have my vita available and pop a trophy before I go to bed (after midnight). Then I don't have to worry about it and just play what I want. I'm at 28 days right now.
Is the game worth it?
in Lords of the Fallen
It's not horrible. It's very similar to Dark Souls if you are into those games. However, I've tried playing it twice and just couldn't get into it past 5 hours or so. It's got pretty solid mechanics and is different enough from Dark Souls to be an interesting game. But unlike with Dark souls, every time I died I was more annoyed than anything else. And the frame rate (on a PS4 Pro) was more detrimental to this game and I don't normally care about frame rate. Their later game, The Surge, was much more well executed. This one was just too bland for my taste.
Posted May 22, 2019 · Edited June 9, 2019 by Withanx
This looks like fun. I'll give it a shot.
Headlander - 12% (completed June 9)
This may be a bit ambitious, but it would sure be nice to have these crossed off my list.
Edit: I replaced Sound Shapes with Batman: The Telltale Series. I didn't realize Sound Shapes has so much DLC that I don't own.
Most boring platinum that you forced yourself to get
Assassin's Creed: Origins. I really liked the game, but the trophy that made you complete all locations made me stop playing the game and come back to it. Don't quote me on this, but there are something like 400+ locations to find. When playing the story I would take time to complete all locations I encountered between story beats, but eventually it just made everything a slog.
Second place though would be The Order: 1886. The platinum was done in a day, but the game is so boring.
Fun little games. Never played them originally, but they are great to play in short bursts while waiting for my Division 2 team to log in. 😀
Post the last trophy you earned
Patchwork - Get 10 patches from commendations
what platinum are you going for?
Spyro: Year of the Dragon in the Reignited trilogy. A fun trio of platinums.
What is your current Platinum goal for the year?
I would like to hit 50. It's a modest goal, but sticking with any game long enough for the platinum it tough since I like to play new games as much as possible and game time is limited. But I may be out from work for 4-6 weeks in a couple of months so I may get a boost. I'm actually more interested in my overall ranking on the site and I'd like to make it to the top 1% this year. I'm very close.
Reviews are out...

There's one review there where a guy gave it a 30 because he personally found it boring. He knocked 70 points off for a completely subjective fault. I seriously fucking hate the modern review systems.
The day I let someone else tell me whether I like a game or not is the day I end it all lol.
He's telling you he did not like the game. Not whether you would like it. All reviews are subjective. The problem is people reading the reviews have usually already made up their minds and if the review doesn't conform to that it's the reviewers fault. Reviews are to help you make an informed decision, not make a decision for you.
Glitched trophy "I'm in the money!"
in Spyro the Dragon
Whew, guess I got lucky in that I missed a whole level when I got that dragon.
Red Dead Redemption. I never played it on PS3 and right now only have it on Xbox backwards compatibility. Would prefer the trophies.
The Last of Us. I played the entire story and only got 4 trophies. That was a bit frustrating because it's a great game but a crappy trophy list.
Who doesn't like Mass Effect, and why?
in Mass Effect
On paper, Mass Effect should be totally up my alley. I like RPGs and I loooove Science Fiction. I started by trying to play Mass Effect 2 but I can't remember why I didn't start with 1. I was underwhelmed. I couldn't even tell you what the story was. I remember it feeling like maybe I was just missing the story from the first one and I got maybe halfway through and stopped playing. Plus I was used to much tighter gunplay. A little while back Mass Effect 1 came to Xbox backwards compatibility so I decided to give it a try. That game did not age well. Battle is super clunky, and I've heard people say it's about the story, but the battle happens a lot and is as much a part of it as the story. Plus the story is just buried under a multitude of conversations that felt interminable. I didn't really care what people had to say, and going back to each and every person after you completed and action felt more like a chore than anything else. What I think is that people who started with 1 when it first came out were treated to something relatively unique and so they latched on to it and remember it and replay it with a lot of nostalgia propping it up. Because I don't see how 2 was much better based on my experience. So I think you had to have come in at the beginning to really appreciate it, I guess. Maybe I'm way off here, but I just couldn't get into the games as much as I wanted to.
Trophy Thoughts
in Friday the 13: The Game
Seriously, if you assume 10-15 minutes per match, which seems accurate based on what I've seen, that's 333 - 500 hours of playing. That's pretty optimistic for an asymmetrical multiplayer game, a genre that hasn't had a lot of success keeping a player base.
List of "doable" Games with Ultra Rare trophies
Posted May 18, 2017 · Edited May 18, 2017 by Withanx
I only have 7 ultra rare trophies. 6 of them are from two games: Super Meat Boy and Velocity 2X, and the Super Meat Boy ones are both Bronze. The Meat Boy ones are basically about replaying levels until you master them. I've not beaten either World, but I would replay levels until I got an A+ and collected the bandages. Not too bad Depending on how much you like really fast and tight platforming. The Velocity 2X ones weren't too bad. They are all about learning the levels and then replaying them until you get all the collectibles and get a good time and good score. If you get perfect on 25 levels that is an Ultra Rare trophy. It's hard, but the levels are fun and learning them is satisfying. My 7th trophy is from the Bidiots game of the Jack Box Party Pack 2. It's a trophy you can manipulate for getting over $4,000 in an auction. So that's the easiest that I got just playing the game with friends. It's like the least fun of the games, so people probably just don't play it hence Ultra Rare.

Many thanks to the guys and girls on here that have made this a really happy year. I have made many new friends here and I hope you all have too.
Now I want to wish you all a really HAPPY NEW YEAR 2013 and that it will be at least as good as this one!
PS... Hey Ney... Rick will be another year older sometime in 2013!!! But how old is he???
Gordon, you speak to me from the soul.
Thanks to all who have made here this year as eventful.
All the new mods and a lot of funny posts have been a real pleasure.
I have experienced a lot of support and won good friends.
For that I would like to thank.
I wish everyone agreat year, 2013 .
And as Geedee already wrote, and that it will be at least as good as this one!
So ... I agree with all above and .............. ditto !
Gordon and Deep said everything!
I thank you all very much to could be together all this year! Tons of friendship, help when needed, great fun and great laughter and good humor in each word, in every moment!
I thank you to can be your friend! Cheers!
Type as loud as you like, I don't get hangovers for some reason.
Have a good celebration tonight and happy healthy 2013 everyone.
TOMORROW I WILL ONLY TYPE IN LOWER CASE AND SMALLER LETTERS SO THAT I WILL BE QUIET FRO THOSE WITH A HANGOVER ! ! ! !
With a huge packet of headache tablets.
I know of this film because i have a few German friends and they say it has been shown every year on German TV at Christmas for over 40 years. Last year I found that it is even known to the Australians!!
The last time I had some brown ale followed by whiskey (Southern Comfort) which was in 1976, I was up in Edinburgh for a week and it was my last night there. I can clearly remember getting to the bottom of the staircase of the guest house I was in on my way to bed.
The next thing I knew was a woman knocking on the door telling me I was late for breakfast. I jumped out of bed quickly as I knew that I had my suitcase to pack before I would go to eat. The really strange thing is that it was already packed... but to this day I haven't the foggiest notion if it was me or someone else that had done it!!
Happy New Year to all here at Evo !! All good thoughts i have for me I wish for you too !
A happy new-year-morning from Germoney! Ney, we shrinked our balls away to insignificance last night outside when watching and generating some firework, which was reluctant to get burning of the very same reasons of awsome colderness. How happy you are, mate, to live in a land, where central heating is complementary! But we were able to simulate your residential opportunity through reclamation of the immanent energy out of some pieces of wood (for the house) and some bottles of alcohol (for ourselves), so that all went fine till now (except this headache, which tends to make us blue enough to write down senseless philosophical effusions like this and will be resolved only by supply of another repair-beer which will be my second act at this new year right now) Cheers!
Hehehe! My thoughts are with you there, in Germany, drinking this beer with you, dear friend Klaus! Cheers!
As Gordon and Deep-Strike said, we won new good friends here.
This was a super year, with lot of good surprises.
Thanks for the frienship. I'm proud to be here with you chaps. You're really good people.
2013 will be for sure a good year (not the tyres ), not only with the projects, but more thanks to the good spirit, and as Ney said, "Tons of friendship, help when needed, great fun and great laughter and good humor in each word, in every moment!"
That's the most important. Stay like you are, guys !

On January 30th, more than a dozen community leaders came to a Warren Middle Passage Project meeting to discuss how we move forward in our efforts to memorialize those who died or were enslaved and to recognize the pivotal role African Americans played in the building of America.
After Sarah Weed and Pat Mues gave a brief overview of Warren's role in the slave trade and the story of those enslaved within the town, folks broke up into small groups to brainstorm on how to make sure we get a good turnout for our community meeting later this year.
The consensus was educate, educate, educate people about our history. Some of the people present had grown up and gone to school here and had never heard a word about slavery and Warren. Some knew about Bristol, Newport and Providence but never thought Warren was connected. And so, we will continue to present "Finding Phebe" whenever we can and hope that community groups will get in touch so we can find new venues within Warren.
Last night Sarah and I presented "Finding Phebe" at Linden Place in Bristol. We had a great group of about sixty people including students from the Roger William School of Law. Those men and women asked questions and joined the discussion, giving us all a chance to talk about why this subject echoes through to today.
Located on the campus of Brown University, the Center always has an interesting, small exhibition and hosts events throughout the year. They have a great video archive of past presentations and conferences, including a lecture by Christy Clark-Pujara author of Dark Work. In her hour long talk she lays out how the business of slavery permeated Rhode Island. Listening to her is the easiest way to begin to understand that part of our state's history; her book has become a ready reference for our work.
"Finding Phebe" is coming to Linden Place.
On Wednesday, January 24th at 7 pm, Sarah Weed and Pat Mues will be presenting "Finding Phebe: Uncovering the History of Enslavement in Warren, RI" at Linden Place in Bristol. Please click here for details, reservations are required.
As you may or may not know, Linden Place was once home to the DeWolfs who made their fortune forcing African men, women and children into slavery, most often on their sugar plantations in Cuba. This presentation will be focused on the enslaved in Warren in the 18th century, though we are including some information on the situation in Bristol at the time as well as the plight of a young woman listed in a will in the year 1755.
1789: Warren enters the slave trade.
The schooner Abigail would become Warren's first slave ship in 1789, two years after slave trading had been declared illegal for Rhode Island residents. But that did not deter Warren's Ebenezer Cole (Town Councilman for 11 terms), Captain Charles Collins (Town Councilman for 3 terms) and James and Level Maxwell from investing in the ship. It was designed with a middle deck less than five feet high where the kidnapped Africans would be imprisoned. The ship would not return for more than 8 months.
We know little about that journey. But the records of The Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Database — slavevoyages.org — states that 64 African men, women and children were forced onto the ship and then imprisoned for two months. Traveling through the torturous Middle Passage, at least eleven died; it's likely their bodies were thrown overboard on the open sea. The surviving 53 people were sold into slavery in the Caribbean and the Abigail returned home with the profits.
Welcome to the Warren Middle Passage Project blog.
The Warren Middle Passage Project is an all-volunteer group researching the history of the slave trade and enslavement in Warren, Rhode Island. Our goal is to document that history, build a memorial to those Africans who died or were sold into slavery, identify those people who were enslaved here as well as their descendants and recognize the crucial role African-Americans played in the building of Warren, Rhode Island and the United States.


When I was much younger, I hated writing. When a grade school teacher told us to pull out our journals and do some creative writing or write an essay, I despised it.
Since then, I have discovered the joy of writing. It's fun to get my thoughts down on a page and, hopefully, to get better are putting words together.
A pastor is called to do many other things but his primary tasks are to pray for his people and to get the Word off of the page and into the lives of his people. He "ministers the Word" when he preaches, when he teaches, when he counsels, when he engages in one-on-one conversations, and when he writes.
Writing is one of the vital ways in which pastors "minister God's Word" to people.
In fact, if the writers of the Old Testament and New Testament didn't put God's Word on the page, we would have no Bible. Our Bible is God's gift to us as He spoke through about 40 men who, then, put wrote those words into print so future generations could read them. Writing was essential for our Bible to come into existence.
So, I write not only because I enjoy it but, also, because it is essential to fulfilling my role as a pastor.
Obviously, the United States accessed my site the most with 797 views in January. But, it's cool to see other countries highlighted.
How cool is it that I am able to write about God's Word from the comforts of my living room in western Kentucky and my words can influence people around the world!
Now, let's make February a fun, rewarding month!

The US Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) said they had not received visas for a long-planned trip to India. The commission, a bipartisan US federal government commission, was scheduled to begin their trip on 4 March. The delegation was coming to India to "discuss and assess the religious freedom conditions" here.
"We are deeply disappointed by the Indian government's denial, in effect, of these visas," said Robert P George, Chairman of USCIRF in a statement.
"As a pluralistic, non-sectarian, and democratic state, and a close partner of the United States, India should have the confidence to allow our visit."
The USCIRF delegation was scheduled to leave on 4 March and had the support of the State Department and the US Embassy in New Delhi, the statement claimed.
George added that USCIRF had been able to travel to many countries, including those among the worst offenders of religious freedom, including Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Vietnam, China, and Myanmar.
"One would expect that the Indian government would allow for more transparency than have these nations, and would welcome the opportunity to convey its views directly to USCIRF," he said.
USCIRF, an independent, bipartisan US federal government commission with commissioners appointed by the President and the leaders in both Houses of Congress, had released a report in 2015 which said that incidents of religiously motivated and communal violence had increased since 2014 general elections.
"Since the election, religious minority communities have been subject to derogatory comments by politicians linked to the ruling party BJP and numerous violent attacks and forced conversions by Hindu nationalist groups, such as RSS and VHP."
"But the USCIRF will continue to pursue a visit to India, given the ongoing reports from religious communities, civil society groups, and NGOs that the conditions for religious freedom in India have been deteriorating since 2014," George added.
According to Reuters, the Indian embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

In 1843 a new type of brass helmet was introduced with a crest and long black horsehair tail, and this was again replaced in 1847 by the 'Albert' helmet with a central spike supporting a black plume. In 1848 the coatee was shortened when, after the Crimean War, it was replaced by a full-skirted tunic, which gave more protection to the stomach, much of the elaborate and expensive decoration being removed at the same time. The new tunic was scarlet with collar, cuffs and edging in the regimental colour, fastened down the front by eight buttons. Epaulettes were replaced by shoulder cords, and officers' badges of rank were worn on the collar. The 'Albert' helmet remained , but the colour of the plume was changed for each regiment, the KDG having red and the Bays black.
The end of the Crimean War also saw the facings of the Bays being changed again from black to buff. In 1864 the loops of lace on the tunic collar hiding the colour of the facings were abolished, as were the loops and button on the cuffs and skirt, and an 'Austrian' knot, of yellow for the KDG and white for the Bays, was substituted on each sleeve of the tunic.
There is some evidence to show that the Bays during the Indian Mutiny, and the KDG in China, wore their brass 'Albert' helmets with the plume removed and a pugaree wrapped around the helmet. Other evidence indicates that both regiments may have worn an early type of cork pith helmet from time to time.
In 1873 the 'Albert' helmet was further simplified, much of the ornamentation being removed, and the badge on the front becoming an eight-pointed star, with the Garter and motto in the centre for officers, and the numerals '1' or '2' for the other ranks. In both regiments trumpeters and bandsmen wore white plumes. The men also were stopped using shabraques, although the officers continued to have them.
In 1876 patrol jackets replaced the stable jackets for a short time, but the following year there was a reversion to the stable jacket. Officers' badges of rank were transferred to the shoulder cords, instead of being worn on the collar. In addition, for officers' tunics, the size of the 'Austrian' knot on the sleeves indicated rank, field officers having a triple knot measuring eleven inches from the bottom of the cuff, captains a double knot of nine inches, and subalterns a single knot of seven inches' depth.
Late Victorian Period
Throughout the late Victorian period undress uniform remained a blue frock coat with regimental patterns of braiding on the breast and sleeves. With this was worn the 'pill box' forage cap of blue cloth, with a gold regimental pattern lace band for officers, and for the men yellow cloth for the KDG and white for the Bays.
In 1884 the Bays contingent going to the Sudan wore grey tunics, the regimental insignia being sewn onto the sleeve, with cord pantaloons, blue puttees and brown boots, a bandolier and haversack, with a pith helmet.
With minor changes in detail, full-dress uniform remained the same for both the KDG and the Bays up to amalgamation in 1959. But the Sudan and the Boer War saw the universal introduction of more serviceable clothing than full-dress red, which tended to be used only for ceremonial occasions. The appointment of the Austrian Emperor, Franz Joseph, as colonel in chief of the KDG led to his conferring in 1898 the use of the Austrian Habsburg double-headed eagle as the regimental cap badge. From 1899 to 1900 senior NCOs, and late possibly corporals, wore the Austrian eagle as an arm badge above the rank chevrons. The Bays cap badge was formed of the letters 'Bays' in early English lettering surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves, and surmounted by the Imperial Crown. During the First World War, when Austria was allied to Germany, the KDG were made, in 1915, to take down their cherished eagle badge and replace it with and eight-pointed star, surmounted by the crown, with the Garter enclosing the letters 'K.D.G.' in the centre. The Austrian eagle came back into use in 1938 and had been worn since as the cap badge of both the KDG and 1st The Queen's Dragoon Guards.
Late Nineteenth Century
During the latter decades of the nineteenth century, khaki had been replacing the old scarlet on active service conditions. India and the Sudan established its utility, and in 1898 an experimental issue of khaki was made, to be succeeded in 1900 by an general issue of khaki serge, which both the KDG and Bays wore in South Africa.
The late Victorian pattern pith helmet was often replaced on the veldt by a floppy broad-brimmed felt hat. In 1902 an Army order laid down the form of dress for occasions when full dress was not to be worn. A peaked khaki cap was worn by all ranks; the khaki tunic was cut loose with two patch pockets on the chest. Officers' service dress jackets had a khaki collar and tie, and were worn with a Sam Brown leather sword belt. Badges of rank for officers were worn on the cuff. Breeches and brown riding boots were worn by officers, and Bedford cord breeches and puttees by the other ranks. In 1903 the KDG were issued with the much-disliked Broderick cap, and the much-prized Victorian pill-box forage cap was discontinued. The Broderick cap was of blue cloth, round in shape with a projecting rim, but with no peak; it was worn with a chinstrap, and the metal regimental badge of the Austrian double-headed eagle on a red background in the centre at the front. On their return to England in 1908 the Bays were issued with a blue Broderick cap, with the regimental badge on a white patch at the front – the patch later being changed to light buff.
From 1907 to 1914 the KDG in India wore, with their full dress, a white Wolseley helmet, with a brass spike at the crown and brass chin scales, and a red tuft on the left-hand side of the helmet.
During the First World War both the KDG and the Bays wore regulation khaki service dress, with breeches and puttees, the men wearing a brown leather bandolier over the left shoulder. After the war khaki became the normal wear of the Army, and full dress was confined to great ceremonial occasions, musical rides and lev'es. As a result the rather sloppy issue of the war years was smartened up to provide a walking out dress. Officers' badges of rank reverted to the shoulder.
In 1938 battledress was introduced and with it the KDG won back the wearing of the Austrian double-headed eagle; the badge being now in white metal, or silver for the officers, without the earlier scroll underneath. Battledress consisted of a loose khaki blouse, modelled on a skiing suit, with two patch pockets on the chest and buttoning at the wrists. The trousers had a pocket for a field dressing on the leg and were worn with webbing gaiters. For working dress denim overalls were introduced of the same pattern. With the mechanisation of the cavalry, the black beret was introduced for the Royal Armoured Corps, but the men of both the KDG and the Bays clung to the khaki forage cap until well into the middle years of the Second World War. Officers tended to wear khaki service dress caps, although the occasional beret was seen.
Western Desert
The war in the Western Desert was best know for its informality of dress – corduroy trousers, desert boots, coloured scarves, sheepskin coats. The KDG officers wore a large patch of yellow cloth beneath their metal rank badges on their battledress blouses, a regimental distinction which persisted for some years after the war. The Bays wore shoulder titles in brass, with the words 'Bays' in early English script.
Towards the end of the Second World War the KDG instituted the award of a troop leader's badge for sergeants who had commanded a troop with distinction. It consisted of the Austrian eagle collar badge worn on a background of red cloth above the chevron.
In 1947 a new patrol dress was authorised, with a blue tunic, having a high collar carrying collar badges; two breast pockets with box pleats and button, side pockets without buttons, and a cloth belt with brass buckle, later replaced by a white belt. There were steel shoulder chains, on which officers wore badges of rank, and trousers cut closely; the KDG having a yellow stripe and the Bays white. The cap was blue with a band of blue velvet for the KDG and of white for the Bays. The old gold lace belt and silver pouch box, worn over the left shoulder, continued in use.
On amalgamation of The King's Dragoon Guards with The Queen's Bays in 1959, elements of the uniforms of both regiments were combined to constitute the dress for 1 The Queen's Dragoon Guards. In full dress, still worn by the band and by individual soldiers for ceremonial occasions, the helmet of the KDG had been adopted with a red plume and the figure '1' within the star on the front of the helmet. The band wear a white plume with the helmet and aiguillettes on the shoulder. The tunic is scarlet with blue velvet facings and the Austrian knot in yellow cord on the sleeves, with the Bays' collar badges. A white waist belt with metal plate buckle is worn, and the pouch belts carry the Bays' badge on a black patent leather pouch box. The officer's tunic had gold lace, and the waist and pouch belts are of gold lace, with a silver pouch box, carrying the Austrian eagle. The trousers are close cut overalls of blue, with a broad white stripe, worn over black boots with regimental pattern spurs.
Officers' mess dress consists of a scarlet monkey jacket trimmed with regimental pattern gold lace and upright collar of blue velvet edged with gold lace, twisted gold lace shoulder cords with badges of rank. A scarlet waistcoat, edged with gold lace, is worn under the jacket. Full-dress overalls and regimental pattern spurs complete the dress.
The blue No 1 patrol dress was modified to combine elements of both regiments. The tunic carries the collar badges of the Bays and has chain mail with the shoulder title 'QDG' in early English lettering. The officers' blue patrol jacket has no pockets on the skirt, and the sword is secured by two gold-laced straps from under the tunic. The blue overalls have the Bays' broad white stripe and are worn over black boots with regimental pattern spurs. The cap is KDG design of blue cloth with a blue velvet stripe and the Austrian eagle as cap badge. The peak of the cap had a broad rim of gold lace for the officers, a thinner band of gold lace for warrant officers, and a plain black peak for all other ranks. The pouch belts for officers are as for full dress, with other ranks wearing a white belt with the Austrian eagle on the buckle.
On amalgamation the khaki service dress of the Bays was adopted for officers, with QDG shoulder titles and Bays' collar badges, and the KDG cap and cap badge. Other ranks wear the No 2 Service Dress, with the blue KDG cap and working dress a dark blue beret with the eagle cap badge is worn. The stable belt is royal blue. In the QDG lance corporals wear two chevrons, corporals wear two chevrons surmounted by a rank badge consisting of the Bay's emblem, which is worn by all senior NCOs. Squadron quartermaster sergeants wear four chevrons with rank badge, the whole surmounted by a crown.


That's how their state song goes. Sadly I have never heard a vocal version. I would like to imagine the All HAIL! All HAIL! All HAIL! bit at the end is a bit Roman empire in its delivery. Or at least Brian Blessed in Flash Gordon.
So what have I learnt about Massachusetts? Well thanks to a map I know it is on the East coast, and thanks a guy called Dan, who reminded me he was born there, I have the following little nuggets for your brain hole.
Massachusetts has the two largest cities in the New England region (Boston & Worcester) and Boston itself had the first public car park in America.
How's that for useless trivia?
You'll thank me in twenty years when you win that £50 bar voucher in a pub quiz.
Anyway, this week I have the great pleasure of introducing you to what I can only describe as a great band who I would very much love to see play live.
It felt odd listening to a Christmas single when I first discovered Hands And Knees in August of this year. But any song that opens with the line "James Brown died on Christmas Day. Little baby Jesus came to take him away" is enough to gain anyone's attention. Indeed, it is only September and I have bought myself a copy.
As a band Hands and Knees are hard to place. At first look at the picture which adorns their bandcamp page (above) you would be very much mistaken to thing they are some kind of ramshackle folk band, but they are quite the opposite, what ever that is.
Why don't you decide for yourself. Have a listen to their Wholesome album & the previously mentioned Christmas single. And while you do that – have a little read of their interview below.


Practically a one-man band, ELEGANT SIMPLICITY is headed by composer, arranger, programmer, producer and multi-instrumentalist Steve McCabe. Their material is highly keyboard- and guitar-oriented melodic prog that will alternately remind you of CAMEL, GENESIS, The ALAN PARSONS PROJECT, BARCLAY JAMES HARVEST, The BEATLES and Mike OLDFIELD. Between 1992 and 1995, McCabe released 7 instrumental cassettes and then hired vocalist Ken Senior (from neo-prog band EVOLUTION), along with a few guest musicians who appeared on subsequent albums. Since 1996, the 'band' has released practically one album a year.
No one cassette from the first era particularly stands out (although "Inside the Hurting" and "Endless Longing" feature no guitar whatsoever). The band's better vocal cd's are "Architect of Light" and "The Nature of Change" - the latter is mostly made up of straightforward 80's neo-prog tunes but also includes an interesting 43-minute instrumental suite. As for purely instrumental albums, the recommended ones are "Purity and Despair", which blends folk themes with jazz and some classical bits, and "Anhedonia" featuring Streven McCabe as sole instrumentalist once again. The band clearly favours soft ballads although doesn't shun a much more aggressive approach on the epic tracks. The flaws: some numb programming (drums) occasionally spoils the ambience and the melodies, a little too lengthy at times, aren't always captivating.
Recommended if you like simple, smooth melodic prog like CAMEL, BARCLAY JAMES HARVEST and ODYSSICE.
have known Steven for more than twenty years now, from back in the days when he was releasing cassettes (which I still have!), and for the clear majority of that time he has basically been a solo artist, adding the odd musician or singer as the need arises. I have always been a fan, so when he said to me that he thought it might just be his best work yet. I was intrigued. Certainly, what I didn't expect was the most complete band effort of his career to date. 'Timely Reminder' opens the album, with the sax of Nathan Madsen keeping track with Steven's guitar, which immediately made me think of Blodwyn Pig. Then after only a few bars the music was moving and changing, going into new areas, returning to themes and then off again.
The next song contained real flute, care of Noam Goldstein, and by now I realised that I was listening to something quite special. Back in the day, Steven would have created all these sounds using keyboards, but here he has brought together a group of skilled musicians that is lifting his music to a whole new level. Although he has used singers in the past, most notably Ken Senior of Evolution, this is an instrumental album and I think Steven is right in what he said. In 2017, after more than twenty full-length releases, he has produced his finest and most complete work to date. I have been playing it a great deal, and the only major fault with this fifty-two-minute long album is that it is just too short (and hence contains just the one epic, the title cut which breaks the twenty-minute barrier).
Steven has been putting out quality albums for a long time now, but now could not be a better time to discover his music, as this is superb from the very first note to the last.
The first thing one notices when studying this 2015 release is the large number of performers taking part, and the second thing is that neither of Steven's long-time collaborators, Ken Senior and Christopher Knight, have a part to play on this album (although apparently, they were involved with the original demos). It is also quite a short album, in that it is only just over forty minutes in length, although originally it was destined to be more than an hour. But although it is shorter, it is easily one of the most diverse that multi- instrumentalist Steven McCabe has released so far. Sometimes it is just him, sometimes he may have a drummer and a singer, but this time we have a whole host of guests: he hasn't even provided bass on this album, but instead has used three different bassists in Jair- Rohm Parker Wells, Damjan Kapor and Justin Bassman. Nathaniel Graham provides the drums, with David Lipari Jr on vocals, but the biggest difference to the overall sound is the use of other musicians who have been invited to take part. With William Stewart (violin), Nathan Madsen (saxophone), Allen Bruce Ray (native American flutes) and Hendrick Valera (flute) there is a far greater depth and diversity to the sound than previously apparent.
Of course, at the heart of this is still Steven's fluid guitar and deft keyboards, but this time there is more for him to play against and with. He can be belting away with great over the top axework as on "Falling To The Ground", and then Nathan demands to make an entrance and the piece is transformed. There are still heavy Camel influences, particularly with some wonderfully dated keyboard sounds combining with the great guitars. Polished, dynamic, one must wonder what is going to be next for ES. Will the next album continue in the same vein, or will it be back to more of a multi-instrumentalist style? We must wait and see, but until then I will enjoy this polished melodic progressive rock album that is a sheer joy to listen to.
Elegant Simplicity is basically all about Steven McCabe, a multi-instrumentalist from the United Kingdom, who started this project in 1992, as long as he launched his first ever release ''Improper advances''.Simultaneously he produced the ESA recording label, through which he promoted his works.The album was originally released in cassette, reissued seven years later as a CD-R by his own Proximity Records.
Many of the elements characterizing McBabe's near and future releases are present on this album, however the inspiration and recording quality appear to be at a low point.As with many Elegant Simplicity albums, this is an all instrumental effort, trying to draw some influences from the material of acts like CAMEL, FOCUS, PALLAS and PENDRAGON and come-up with melodic, symphonic-oriented compositions, where the solos, keyboard deliveries and instant melodies are the leading factors.The sharp guitar work of McBabe and the background keyboards are forcing the project into a familiar British Neo Prog style, but the sampled instrumentation, the buried mix and the below average sound are holding this from a decent result.The digital drumming is just unacceptable and plenty of the keyboards parts are just so weak and childish, like coming from an old Casio equipment.The ideas of McBabe are pretty cool, he prooves to be a good composer and many of his solos, orchestrations and textures are pretty nice with underlined symphonic touches and a large instrumental activity with dramatic overtones, there are even some Canterbury-wannabee keyboard moves in the process.But the amateur type of the recording process is the preventing factor here.
A decent document of Elegant Simplicity's premature rehearsals.But not a trully qualitive album as a whole with the sampled instruments surrounding the otherwise nice guitar parts.Recommended only to Neo Prog collectors and fanatics.
It has been way too long since Steven McCabe's last album, 2007's 'Too Many Goodbyes', and I wasn't sure if there would be another, but at long last he is back with his 16th studio album to date. I'm not saying that I have known him for a long time, but I have the early albums on pre-recorded cassette tapes, so I guess that you can say that I am fairly familiar with the music.
As has been the case on many of his albums he has been joined by Christopher Knight on drums and percussion, while Ken Senior (isn't it about time we had another Evolution album?) provides vocals on one track. Everything else is by Mr McCabe, and as ever he shows himself to be a dab hand at both guitar and keyboards as he creates music that is sometimes evocative of Gong and Camel as well as bringing in some neo and even fusion influences as well. The use both of 'live' drums and moving between keyboards and guitar means that this generally sounds like a band as opposed to a multi- instrumentalist project.
Melody as opposed to repeated mindless meandering is the order of the day and this is very much an album of six songs, even though five them don't contain any words. 'Un-Apology' is one of my favourites, very much in your face with clever interplay between the lead instruments and quite a funky Seventies feel throughout with some dated keyboard sounds and a real groove to the whole thing. It fairly belts along and is a joy throughout. But, a very special mention needs to go to the title track, which is one of Steven's most epic numbers to date. At more than eighteen minutes long there is plenty of room for the music to move in many different ways (and it even contains some great sax work!) , and each time I play it I find that it draws me in, taking me to a world that contains complex arrangements and layers yet also has a simple elegance, as one might well expect.
It is possible to stream the album on his website at www.elegantsimplicity.com so why not give it a listen and see what you think? Let's hope that we don't have to wait so long for the next one.
'Moments Of Clarity' was released in 1999. Steven again changed the line-up deciding to play all of the music himself but bringing in Ken Senior to provide vocals on five of the seven tracks. The vocals seem quite upfront, with little in the way of reverb and it is as if they have been put this way to bring 'honesty' to the piece. It may seem a strange thing to say, but that really is the best way that I can describe it. This is not an album to play when you are feeling depressed, as while the music is often quiet and dreamy the lyrics are telling some harrowing and indeed insightful tales, which gives us the clarity of the title. I am not sure if it is intended as a concept album but certainly it can be taken as such. It is an album about loss and despair, even about having to sit by the side of a loved one and agree to have the life support machine turned off and watch the light go out as they die. While there are some Camel-esque moments, this album is much more influenced by Floyd and even though it has a depressing subject matter I found that this is an album that I enjoyed immensely.
Following on from #69 where I reviewed the three most recent Elegant Simplicity albums I now have had the opportunity to hear the two albums previous to that. 'Purity and Despair' was released in 1998 and was the follow-up to 'Reversal Of Time' which I reviewed in 1997. This album is solely instrumental, and Steve McCabe has again employed some extra musicians, this time in Peter Douglas (guitars) and Gilbert Ross (basses). Of course Steven then manages to bring the kitchen sink to the ensemble, giving it a very full sound indeed (one small niggle, a 'live' drummer would have given it a better sound.
What is immediately apparent is the way that the music moves and flows, sometimes returning to a previous theme or moving on in a new direction. The music can be led through 'modern' style keyboards or a mellotron, or acoustic guitar or electric, but it always keeps the interest and could never be considered boring or background. Instrumental albums need to be something a bit special to keep the listener involved, and this is laid back yet at the time passionate and brings together melodies in a way that really works. Camel are again a main influence and I would urge fans of that band to search this out.
And so it is now up to date with 'Architect Of Light' which was released earlier this year. It is dedicated to "whatever it was that saved my life on February 4th 2002" ? this is something that I can relate to as tomorrow is the fourth anniversary of my motorbike accident, and Steve's dedication is concerning a car accident he suffered on that date. There are a few albums I have reviewed in this issue that appear to be what the artist has been building to for a period of time, and that is the case with this one. It is ten years since Steve started releasing cassettes, and on this album he not only has Ken providing vocals but also now has a drummer in Christopher Knight. There are a couple of guest musicians on the album providing diverse elements on some tracks, and Steve himself also provides some stunning flute along with his other instruments.
With three of the five songs over sixteen minutes long, this is an album that is bringing together a multitude of styles that are at the same time different yet belonging. It is an album of complexity, yet also simplicity, bringing Floydian styles in with Camel and mixing them up with a solid dose of new prog that it is very much music that is relevant for today. Again it is mostly instrumental, but Ken very much plays his part.
'Palindrome' was the next album, in 2001, and saw Steven yet again back in partnership with Ken Senior. Ken is a multi-instrumentalist in his own right (releasing material as Evolution) and has more recently been gainfully employed as bassist in Parallel Or 90 Degrees. Within Elegant Simplicity he finds work as vocalist only, while Steven yet again provides all of the music/songs/production/artwork etc. This is an album where the dynamism has been turned up a lot, and while half of the songs are instrumental, even these have a power that was missing from the previous album. Throughout the album the guitars are much more to the fore, and the scene is set with the powerful opening title cut which shows that instrumental prog music has a right to be included within the term 'rock'. It builds and grows, with subtle changes of style and mannerisms, so that the listener is always moving with the flow not knowing what each layer is going to reveal.
Ken had an understanding of what is required and his vocal style fits in with the music extremely well, no matter what demands are being made. "Let It Be Me" starts with riffing guitar prior to a great keyboard lead where Steve proves just how quick his fingers can move, yet then takes a total change in direction before the vocals kick in. This is a great song, whatever the genre, and although at ten minutes is probably slightly too long for commercial radio it is a song that anyone can get into straight away.
I was searching through the web looking for music related to Ken Senior one night when I came across the excellent web site of Elegant Simplicity (www.elegantsimplicity.com). I had forgotten that Ken sang for Steven McCabe, and realised that I had also lost touch with Steve himself. I made contact again and discovered that the reason Steve had not been in touch over recent years was that his computer had died and he had lost many of his contact addresses. To rectify the situation Steve sent me his last three albums so that I could hear what he had been up to in recent times.
Steve is prolific, and since 1992 has released 14 full-length albums, 4 promo tapes, and 2 sampler tapes. But just because he has a large amount of output it does not mean that there is any reduction in quality, he is just an artist with a lot of ideas. It appears that the last album I heard was 'Reversal Of Time' which I reviewed in #42 (1997). Between that one and 'The Story Of Our Lives' (2002) there were two more that I haven't heard so it was interesting to be able to sit down and see what changes there had been during that time.
Elegant Simplicity started life as a one man band, with Steve providing instrumental albums where he not only performed and produced the music, but also all of the sleeve design and artwork. This is the case with this album as it is an instrumental, which is one piece of music just under forty-eight minutes long (subdivided into 12 so sections can be easily accessed). The whole thing was recorded and produced in about two weeks, which is quite an undertaking for music that is as layered and complex as this. While Steve the music is laid back as opposed to dynamic, there is a great deal going on with keyboards and guitars interacting in a mellow Camel/Floyd style. It could be construed then that this is background music but that is definitely not the case. It is uplifting music that made me keep thinking of the sea, music that I could drift on and wanted to hear to the end.

Q: Python unable to find variable when concatenating two strings This seems like an incredibly silly problem, but it's doing my nut in. I just started working with Python a few days ago, after spending a while in other languages, and I've run into a very weird problem. I'm attempting to set a top-level string variable called 'word' to the concatenation of itself and a letter. Python is able to find the variable just fine, as demonstrated below.

However, any time I try to concatenate, I suddenly get an error telling me Python is unable to find the variable.

The yellow squiggle is my IDE telling me that the variable can't be found. I've tried literally directly copy+pasting other solutions from other stack-exchange posts. It's a little embarrassing to be having this much trouble with concatenation, but I've tried most of the stuff I can think of.
Edit:Here's my code. As you can see, "word" is initialized at the top of the file:

word_dict = PyDictionary()
repeats = 5
word = "e"

 def handle_input(x, y, letter):
    word += letter

    print(word)

    coords = make_coords(x, y)
    for list in grid:
        for button in list:
           button.update(disabled=True)
    for coord in coords:
        x = coord[0]
        y = coord[1]
        list = grid[y]
        button = list[x]
        button.update(disabled=False)

A: Since your word is defined outside of the function, you need to redeclare it as a global variable:
def handle_input(x, y, letter):
  global word #add this line
  word += letter

  print(word)

  coords = make_coords(x, y)
  for list in grid:
      for button in list:
          button.update(disabled=True)
  for coord in coords:
      x = coord[0]
      y = coord[1]
      list = grid[y]
      button = list[x]
      button.update(disabled=False)

A: When you defined your variable word outside the function, it became a global variable. Global variables are available from within any scope. So you can use it inside your function, but first you must redeclare it as a global variable inside your function by adding global word at the first line in the function.
def handle_input(x, y, letter):
    global word

Another solution is to define your variable `word` inside the function so that it is declared as a local variable which can be accessible only in that function.
def handle_input(x, y, letter):
    word = "e"

This year, Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island celebrates its 130th year of serving seasonal guests. As the world's largest summer hotel, the Musser family's Grand Hotel boasts 385 rooms, is a member of Historic Hotels of American, is listed with the National Register of Historic Sites, holds countless other distinctions for its time-honored hospitality and is considered one of the top family-run tourist businesses in the state.
Discovering the Familiar in the Unfamiliar

Novelist, short story writer and screenwriter Richard Matheson (1926-2013) was regarded as one of the world's premier science fiction writers—yet, his isn't a household name to many. Ray Bradbury once called Matheson "one of the most important writers of the 20th century." Stephen King said Mathewson was "the author who influenced me the most as a writer."

AUGMENTED ARCHIVES – HISTORY IN REAL-TIME
Project Launch of augmented[archive] – Cairo Edition and Symposium on Digital Archival Practices
Goethe Institute Cairo (Dokki), Nov 24-25, 2017
A project by Kaya Behkalam (Berlin/Cairo). With Mosireen (Cairo), Alisa Lebow (Sussex), Knut Ebeling (Berlin), moderated by Lina Attalah (Mada Masr)
When in the winter of 2011 protestors in Cairo and other cities started documenting events with their hand cameras and mobile phones and TV stations broadcasted live video feeds 24/7, new forms of political participation and subjectivity came into being on- and offline; seemingly immediate, contagious, unstoppable. Video became a key "witness" of violence and formerly unheard voices of dissent and as such one of the driving forces of the political struggles on the ground and of globally shared dreams of emancipation. The continuous transmission of networked video feeds with ever shorter delays and latencies seemed to confuse notions of chronological time, of confined understandings of identity, place and linear narrative. Instead we witnessed an overwhelming and exhilarating experience of real-time, of simultaneity and of a limitless architecture of seemingly self-governed streets and squares under virtual clouds. Real and virtual spaces conflated, and with it were birthed different heres and nows.
Yet what was live then is not live anymore. How do we now deal with the abundance of digital traces of a once urgent now? What to do with the hasty, breathless testimonies articulating new visions of being together or recounting immediate injustice? What is the relevance of the countless shaky video images of a time when there was no time to lose? What happens to those newly articulated subjectivities once they enter the all-objectifying realm of the archival? How to keep this contested past relevant and accessible in the present given the continuous and targeted attempts to either erase or appropriate these documents of a once emancipatory sense of presentness? Is all that is left for us a sense of trauma lived as a painful re-enactment of the past in the present? Have these "live-streams of consciousness" turned into databases of defeat, archives of amnesia?
This symposium looks at the legacies of vernacular video produced in times of urgency and distress. It brings together various projects that seek answers to these questions in various forms of experimental archival and historiographical practice and theory. Kaya Behkalam will give an introduction and walking tours of his newly developed web application augmented[archive], which turns downtown Cairo into an interactive, site-specific archive. The media collective Mosireen will speak about their online archive 858, probably the largest collection dedicated to vernacular videos on the Egyptian uprising, which has just been launched online. The film maker and scholar Alisa Lebow will present her online documentary Filming Revolution, a meta-narrative about video practices during and about the Egyptian revolution; and Knut Ebeling, philosopher of media theory at the Berlin art academy KHB, who has written extensively on archival theory, will turn our attention to how to approach the present through the lens of (media) archaeology.
5:00 pm Introduction by Lina Attalah
5:15 pm Kaya Behkalam: augmented[archive]
The Augmented Archive explores the changing medialities of the archival in its transition from a mode of recording and storing to a means of transmission. It is built as an iOS/Android app, employing GPS data, Augmented Reality and video streaming technology. It makes the various layers of a story, a city available site-specifically, i.e. at the location of their initial recording via GPS and mobile devices. Users of the app can thus explore the urban space through various layers, juxtaposing different layers of time onto a specific site as they are passing through it. Its media framework is conceived as an expanding, interactive platform enabling its users to contribute to this archive, by recording and uploading videos and other contributions to the narrative architecture themselves.
5:45 pm Knut Ebeling: From Seeing History to the Archive of Trauma
How can we revive the past – of site specific political actions and uprisings? How can we write a history that has lost its temporal and spatial index? And how can we transform the written documents of the past into a vivid testimonial of traumatic experiences? Starting from a historical epistemology between seeing and reading history, the lecture rotates around the question of what it means to establish an archive of past political actions and traumatic experiences. It will concentrate on the relation of archives and sites, of trauma and its site-specificity. It adapts concepts of archive and »speculative archaeology« (Behkalam), site and witness to the practices of the Egyptian activists during the 2011 uprisings and their 2017 followers.
6:30 pm Break
7:00 pm Mosireen: 858, An Archive Of Resistance
858 is an initiative to make public all the footage gathered by the Mosireen Collective since 2011. Some of the footage has been seen before, in videos we edited and uploaded to YouTube. But much of it is being made publicly accessible for the first time – this is the raw, unedited footage shot and gathered over the years. Throughout our journey working to build the 858 archive, we wrestled with questions related to security, timing and ownership; we found ourselves battling nostalgia, trying to make sense of an event we had lived through while watching it from a distance; we searched for ways to keep this massive trove of material alive, to counter the state's narrative and preserve our collective memory. On launching, the archive has 858 hours of indexed, time-stamped video material along with thousands of photographs and documents. All together they present thousands of histories of revolt told from hundreds of perspectives.
7:30 pm Alisa Lebow: Filming Revolution
Filming Revolution is an interactive data-base project about independent and documentary filmmaking in Egypt since the revolution. Practicing a new type of film studies, and serving simultaneously as an archive and an interactive research tool, the project brings together the collective wisdom and creative strategies of media-makers in Egypt, before during and after the revolution. The website consists of 30 interviews with Egyptian filmmakers, artists, activists and archivists, discussing their work and their ideas about how (and whether) to make films in the time of revolution. The video interviews with the activist-practitioners were conducted in Egypt between 2013-2014. To prepare the material for this project, Lebow edited all of the video interviews into short thematic segments and has worked with a programmer to devise an original platform whereby algorithms link the material by theme, person, or project.
8.00 pm Roundtable discussion
Tours with the augmented[archive] app through Downtown Cairo with Kaya Behkalam at 11:00 and 13:00. Number of participants is limited, so please register in advance by sending an email to PrakProg02@Cairo.goethe.org, stating your full name, phone number and preferred time slot.

Mosireen is a media collective formed during the Egyptian revolution. From 2011-2014 it held a space in downtown Cairo that was a revolutionary activist hub dedicated to supporting and producing citizen media of all kinds – including publishing videos, providing training, technical support, campaign support, equipment, screenings and events, alongside hosting an extensive archive of footage from the revolution. At its height Mosireen's YouTube channel was the most watched non-profit YouTube channel in the world. It remains the most watched non-profit channel in Egypt. Campaigns and initiatives Mosireen supported include No To Military Trials for Civilians, Kazeboon, Operation Anti-Sexual Harassment, Freedom for the Brave, and Tahrir Cinema, amongst others. Mosireen's latest project is the 858 archive.

History of Kennett Township
Kennett Township figured prominently in our nation's military history. During the Revolution, British soldiers and Hessian mercenaries passed through on their way to Chadds Ford.
Learn more about the War of 1812, the Civil War and how these historical events impacted the early days of Kennett Township.
The Pines/Fussell House
In the years leading up to the Civil War, The Kennett Square area was known as "the hotbed of abolitionism" due to the help many local resident gave to fugitive slaves. These Underground Railroad "stationmasters" provided shelter in their homes, called "stations," and then secretly moved them along to another station, enroute north or west, to freedom. One of the most prominent of these stationmasters was Dr. Bartholomew Fussell, whose house still stands at the intersection of Baltimore Pike and McFarlan Road in Kennett Township, just outside of the Borough of Kennett Square, minutes from Longwood Gardens.
Some 2000 fugitive slaves passed through Fusssell's house, "The Pines" and nearly every distinguished abolitionist to come to Kennett Square was entertained there at one time or another. It is one of the most historic of the more than three dozen Underground Railroad house in the Kennett Square area, the largest concentration of URR houses in an 8 mile radius in the country and the "hub of the Underground Railroad."

Everybody Hurts: Should Doctors Be Randomly Drug Tested?
The Los Angeles Times found that in four Southern California counties there was more than one death every day from drugs that a doctor prescribed. Can doctors be disciplined for their patients' overdosing?
Amid the election-season clamor over health reform and some major insurers' recent decision , there are .
There was a collective cry of alarm this week to news that the Medical Board of California had mishandled the case of a physician accused of negligence in the abortion-related death of a patient.
Unless someone has had a bad experience with an insurance company, most people think of insurers as either benign or positive forces in their lives. It's the president from "24" telling us in a deep, reassuring voice that we'll be taken care of.
When Los Angeles Times reporter Lisa Girion and health policy consultant Peter Harbage talk about health reform and health insurance, the result is an exceedingly well-informed discussion with lots of concrete story ideas for journalists.
It started on March 20, 2006, with what I thought was a one-shot story about the health care language gap. Two and a half years later, I am still writing follow-ups (more than 40 articles in all) about the story behind the original story — the long-hidden practice of some insurers of retroactively canceling policyholders with large medical bills.


We head into Game 4 of the Euroleague Playoffs on Friday night and with two match-ups already decided, we only have two matches to look forward to this week. All of the matches could be decided this week depending on the outcome of the game and in Turkey, the home fans will be hoping for a victory that sees the series heading to a fifth and final match in Madrid next week. The away team, however, would much prefer to have things done and dusted rather than having to plan an additional game, even if it would be at home!
The 7 point win for Real in Turkey on Wednesday night balanced out the Darussafaka win in Madrid in Game 2, so home-court advantage is back in Madrid's favour, even if they fail to win in this game. Madrid grabbed control of this match in the opening quarter with a 2-16 scoring run separating the teams and then the Spanish side remained in full control.
With five Madrid players in double figures for the evening, it was a night when the Spaniard's squad finally pulled its weight. Jaycee Carroll provided 21 points, Gustavo Ayon offered 18 points and 9 rebounds, Luka Doncic provided 13 points and 8 rebounds while Anthony Randolph and Sergio Llull grabbed 12 points in the win. The home side were boosted with 20 points from Ante Zizic and 18 points from Scottie Wilbekin but this wasn't enough to give the Istanbul side the advantage heading into the home straight.
The hosts know that this is do or die territory for them and only a win will keep their dreams of participating in their home city in the Euroleague Final Four alive. However, Madrid will be desperate to get back to the Final Four and give themselves a great chance of achieving Euroleague success this season. This is why you can back Real Madrid at -3.5 which is provided at odds of 1.90. For the Over/Under market, go OVER 162.5 which you can find at odds of 1.90. Bet Now!

The Frankfurter Kranz (or Frankfurt Crown Cake) is a cake specialty of Frankfurt am Main, Germany.

Preparation starts with the baking of a firm sponge cake in a ring shaped baking tin. The cake is then sliced horizontally to divide it into two or three rings, and thick layers of buttercream icing are placed between the rings, usually with a layer of red jam (typically strawberry, blackcurrant or cherry jam). The outside of the cake is then thickly coated with more buttercream and topped with caramel-covered brittle nuts, called Krokant, toasted almond flakes and/or ground hazelnuts. Krokant is signature to this dish.

Frankfurter Kranz is considered a reminiscence of Frankfurt as the coronation city of the Holy Roman emperors. Its round shape and the sheath of brittle are intended to represent a golden crown, the cherries should be reminiscent of rubies.

After World War II, in the absence of butter, the surface of the cake was often coated with Kogel mogel (sweetened egg yolk paste), and other types of decoration may involve dots made from (more) buttercream or cocktail cherries.

Statement from the Berlin Jury:
"This film succeeds in astounding the viewer through its sophisticated dramaturgy. The story holds a mirror up to a society still plagued by persistent clichés, a mirror that in the end also forces the audience to face their own prejudices. Provocative and full of strong imagery, this production also manages at the same time to make our current challenges clear."
Starring: Charlotte Beaumont, Genevieve Dunne and Umit Ulgen
Tina, a troubled teenage girl, is drawn to Dana, an Afghani girl who is new on the estate. Tina tells us that she is oppressively victimised by her controlling substance-abusing father, Karim. Initially, we trust Tina and admire her protectiveness of Dana from the other kids at school, but as we watch their friendship blossom we come to suspect that something isn't right.
