WELCOME BACK BASEBALL
Posted on March 28, 2019 by Bobby Goodspeed in Sports News
It's finally here. After a seeming interminable spring time spent in the Grapefruit and Cactus Leagues, Major League Baseball finally celebrates opening day at ball parks all across the country.
The 'Great American Pastime' has returned in all its ceremony and pageantry, remembering the past and looking forward to the future. No day of the year holds out as much reason for hope. The lazy days of summer must be just around the corner.
What better match-up to kick things off that Max Scherzer and Jacob deGrom going at it as the Washington Nationals hosted the New York Mets in the nations' capital on a beautiful day.
Scherzer had thrown only 7 pitches and struck out the first two Mets batters when Robinson Cano came to the plate and promptly sent a fastball 406 feet into the stands for a home run. New York ended up winning that pitchers' duel two to zip.
Opening day at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles featured the newly revamped Dodger lineup, with legendary southpaw Sandy Koufax in the stands, taking on their arch rival Arizona Diamondbacks with ex Dodger pitcher Zack Greinke, who was greeted with a boisterous round of boos when he took the mound.
Greinke ended up throwing 30 pitches in that first inning and left the mound one run behind his former team mates. He walked former DBack A.J. Pollack who now holds down center field for the Dodgers. Then Joc Peterson homered off ole Zack in the second.
The New York Yankees started with the biggest money line number of opening day at -340 against the Baltimore Orioles. But then Tanaka took the mound, blanked the Orioles in the first inning and the Yankees put up 3 runs in the bottom of the first. It was pretty much over after that with New York winning the game 7-2.
The Milwaukee Brewers took a close one from the St. Louis Cardinals by the score of 5-4 with veteran pitcher Jhoulys Chacin from Venezuela getting the W for the Brewers.
Former Pittsburgh Pirate great Andrew McCutchen, newly contracted by the Philadelphia Phillies, hit a nice home run on opening day against the Atlanta Braves. He was followed by two other players making their Phillies debuts. Two time All-Star shortstop Jean Segura struck out swinging and the $330 million dollar man, Bryce Harper, in his first at bat in Philadelphia, grounded out to first. Hardly a prodigious beginning.
So we are off again on what looks to be another great season of Major League Baseball. All around the country baseball fans are going out to the ball parks for a long awaited pastoral afternoon or evening, cheering for their favorite teams, and enjoying 'Americas Favorite Pastime' once again.

40 Classic Rock Songs With #$&%-ing Curse Words
Nick DeRiso

The music of youth rebellion was bound to say something naughty, right?
Most of the entries in the below list of 40 Classic Rock Songs With #$&%-ing Curse Words were censored before airing on the radio – if they ever aired at all. But some notable examples slipped past the censors, providing a charge for younger listeners in a different age.
And make no mistake, it was a very different age. The FBI even investigated a rock band in an effort to discover what the Kingsmen were singing in 1963's "Louie Louie." The funny part: They totally missed Lynn Easton's early outburst ("Fuck!" at 0:51) after dropping a drum stick amid all of the other indecipherable lyrics. Of course, dropping f-bombs has become so widespread in the modern era that it's become mainstream. There are chart-topping hits with swearing right in the title. So, the focus here is on stand-out moments from classic rock's early era.
That means leaving out ZZ Top, who probably cursed during "Legs" from 1984's Eliminator, and Kiss – who most certainly did on "Give All You Can Take" from 1984's Animalize. Also John Mellencamp's timeless advice about picking up girls on "Play Guitar" from 1983's Uh-Huh.
We're also skipping jokey live versions – as when the Beatles changed the lyrics to "It's been a hard day's cock" in the midst of Beatlemania-influenced bedlam at a 1964 performance in Blackpool, England – and spoken-word intros that included some form of vulgarity.
Our look back at 40 Classic Rock Songs With #$&%-ing Curse Words come from a time when some of the most well-known bands from the period could still create a buzz by singing the odd obscenity.
1. "Who Are You?"
From: The Who's Who Are You (1978)
(2:12: "Ah, who the fuck are you?")
Back then, you almost couldn't hear it on a tinny transistor radio. But once you did, you never stop hearing it.
2. "Money"
From: Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon (1973)
(1:34: "Don't give me that do goody-good bullshit")
There are so many groundbreaking elements to this song, from its time signature to the looping sound effects. Yeah, but ... cursing!
3. "Big Shot"
From: Billy Joel's 52nd Street (1978)
(0:34: "Don't come bitchin' to me")
Apparently, Mick Jagger's wife Bianca really annoyed Billy Joel over dinner one night.
4. "Hey Jude"
From: The Beatles' 1968 single
(2:56: "Fuckin' hell!")
John Lennon insisted that this outburst remain. "Paul [McCartney] hit a clunker on the piano and said a naughty word," he admitted in Geoff Emerick's Here, There & Everywhere. "Most people won't ever spot it, but we'll know it's there."
5. "Sinner's Swing"
From: Van Halen's Fair Warning (1981)
(0:29: She looks so fuckin' good)
The wonder is that it took David Lee Roth this long to finally say this.
6. "Jet Airliner"
From: The Steve Miller Band's Book of Dreams (1977)
(3:08: "I don't want to get caught up in any of that funky shit goin' down in the city")
A radio version switched out the word "kicks" for the curse word, and Miller has been known to do the same during live performances. But that's not what he originally sang.
7. "Do You Feel Like We Do?"
From: Peter Frampton's Frampton Comes Alive! (1976)
(8:33: "I wanna fuck you")
A robot makes a pass at another robot, right in the middle of a classic-rock song.
8. "Rocks Off"
From: The Rolling Stones' Exile on Main St. (1972)
(1:37: "Plug in, flush out and fire the fuckin' feed")
If you want to make the perfect drugged-out fever dream of a double album, start with the most drugged-out fever dream of them all.
9. "Life in the Fast Lane"
From: Eagles' Hotel California (1976)
(3:02: "We've been up and down this highway, haven't seen a goddamned thing.")
Glenn Frey was hurtling down a California freeway when a drug dealer dubbed the Count tossed out the title line. The rest practically wrote itself.
10. "Hair of the Dog"
From: Nazareth's Hair of the Dog (1975)
(0:48: "Now you're messin' with a son of a bitch.")
The mystery in all this is that they didn't just title the song "Son of a Bitch" in the first place. That's what everybody calls it anyway.
11. "Kick Out the Jams"
From: MC5's Kick Out the Jams (1969)
(0:09: "Now it's time to ... kick out the jams, motherfucker!")
You could buy the replacement version of this album, with a censored cover and uncensored audio, but only if you asked for the clerk to retrieve it from behind the counter.
12. "Young Man Blues"
From: The Who's Live at Leeds (1970)
(5:33: "They ain't got nothin'! They got sweet fuck-all!")
The Who became the first repeat offenders on this look back at 40 Classic Rock Songs With #$&%-ing Curse Words – but far from the last – by dropping an f-bomb on Mose Allison.
13. "Hurricane"
From: Bob Dylan's Desire (1976)
(1:52: "No. 1 contender for the middleweight crown had no idea what kind of shit about to go down")
In some circles, the bigger controversy was that Ruben "Hurricane" Carter – the tragic figure at the heart of this expansive album-opening track – was, in fact, never a top-ranked boxer.
14. "Candy and a Currant Bun"
From: Pink Floyd's 1967 single
(0:28: "Don't talk to me; please, just fuck with me.")
Latter-era expletive-filled Pink Floyd songs may be more famous, but doomed original frontman Syd Barrett got there first.
15. "Working Class Hero"
From: John Lennon's Plastic Ono Band (1970)
(2:19: "You're still fucking peasants as far as I can see")
Lennon was well known for his sneer. But there may not be a more sneery line than this one – the second in a pair of f-bombs – in a storied career of sneers.
16. "The Bitch Is Back"
From: Elton John's Caribou (1974)
(0:30: "The fever's gonna catch you when the bitch gets back")
Lyricist Bernie Taupin's wife Maxine Feibelman used to say the title line when John was in a foul mood.
17. "Lawyers, Guns and Money"
From: Warren Zevon's Excitable Boy (1978)
(2:01: "Send lawyers, guns and money – the shit has hit the fan!")
Urgent pleas for these three things tend to follow.
18. "Speak to Me"
(0:35: "I've been mad for fucking years, absolutely years")
The spoken-word parts on this album were delivered by whoever was at hand – including guitarist Henry McCullough, who was in a nearby studio recording with Wings. Pink Floyd roadie Chris Adamson handled this line.
19. "Success"
From: Iggy Pop's Lust for Life (1977)
(4:07: "Oh shit; oh shit!")
Backup singers repeat everything Pop says throughout this song. You can guess what happens next.
20. "Precious"
From: The Pretenders' Pretenders (1980)
(0:40: "But you know I was shittin' bricks 'cause I'm precious"; 2:53: "But not me baby, I'm too precious – fuck off!")
Chrissie Hynde is not one to be trifled with: Witness this track's rare in-the-park double, the first of which arrives less than a minute in.
21. "Laura"
From: Billy Joel's The Nylon Curtain (1982)
(2:04: "Here I am, feeling like a fucking fool")
Billy Joel comes down on this swear word with such sad vitriol that your own heart almost breaks.
22. "Star Star"
From: The Rolling Stones' Goats Head Soup (1973)
(1:01: "Yeah! You're a starfucker, starfucker, starfucker, starfucker, star")
Ahmet Ertegun, owner of the Rolling Stones label's distributor Atlantic Records, nixed the original title. But Mick Jagger still lustily sings it.
23. "Starting Over"
From: Raspberries' Starting Over (1974)
(0:08: "Used to feel so fucking optimistic, till she said goodbye")
There couldn't be a more appropriate way to close out this shooting-star band's fourth – and final – studio album.
24. "Pigs (Three Different Ones)"
From: Pink Floyd's Animals (1977)
(3:04: "You fucked-up old hag – ha ha, charade you are")
There's long been conjecture over whom Roger Waters is referring to here – until he confirmed, years later, that he was targeting Margaret Thatcher.
25. "Show Biz Kids"
From: Steely Dan's Countdown to Ecstasy (1973)
(3:54: "Show biz kids making movies of themselves. You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else")
It's easy to get a little lost in Rick Derringer's woozy slide work. Then Donald Fagen snaps us awake with a well-placed obscenity.
26. "Been Down So Long"
From: The Doors' L.A. Woman (1971)
(0:03: "Well, I've been down so goddamn long that it looks like up to me")
This is one of those Doors songs that took on much deeper context after Jim Morrison's death.
27. "I Am an Animal"
From: Pete Townshend's Empty Glass (1980)
(2:42: "I will be immersed, queen of the fucking universe")
Townshend could still write a melody worthy of the Quadrophenia-era quietest moments, but this level of bruising introspection wasn't really suited to Roger Daltrey's ballsy bray. No curse word on this list is delivered with more fragility.
28. "Nobody's Fault"
From: Aerosmith's Rocks (1976)
(3:04: "Everything is on fire, a shit piled up in debris")
A song apparently about the fear of looming temblors elicits a suitably earth-shaking performance by Aerosmith. Maybe their heaviest song.
29. "Wharf Rat"
From: Grateful Dead's Grateful Dead (1971)
(2:49: "Half of my life I spent doin' time for some other fucker's crime")
One thing you're not expecting from a typically beatific Jerry Garcia is the word, the big one, the queen-mother of dirty words, the "f-dash-dash-dash" word. It makes for a double-take moment, every time.
30. "You're Breaking My Heart"
From: Nilsson's Son of Schmilsson (1972)
(0:07: "You're breakin' my heart, you're tearing it apart – so fuck you")
Harry Nilsson takes some measure of blame for the then-recent separation from wife Diane. But only after starting things off on a decidedly different note.
31. "Oh No, Not Susan"
From: Electric Light Orchestra's On the Third Day (1973)
(1:35: "Her money and her place, they just don't mean a fucking thing")
The printed back-cover lyrics for this song, with a musical setting as stately as the mansion where Jeff Lynne's female protagonist feels so entrapped, fail to mention the expletive.
32. "Sweet Virginia"
(2:29: "Got to scrape the shit right off your shoe")
Fans couldn't scrape this one off their shoes even if they wanted. Besides appearing as the B-side to "Rocks Off" (mentioned elsewhere in this list), "Sweet Virginia" has been part of their sets since 1992. Martin Scorsese also featured it in 1995's Casino.
33. "Your Sister Can't Twist (But She Can Rock 'n' Roll)"
From: Elton John's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (1973)
(0:19: "Heard of a place at the back of town where you really kick the shit when the sun goes down")
Elton John later told Circus that this song was meant to be "a cross between surfing music and Freddy Cannon records." Now that he mentions it, "Tallahassee Lassie" actually could have used a little more cursing.
34. "Doctor Jimmy"
From: The Who's Quadrophenia (1973)
(1:59: "Her fellah's gonna kill me? Oh, fucking will he")
In contrast to "I Am an Animal," found earlier in our list of 40 Classic Rock Songs With #$&%-ing Curse Words, this always felt like a line that only Roger Daltrey could belt.
35. "The Pusher"
From: Steppenwolf's Steppenwolf (1968)
(1:25: "I said goddamn, goddamn the pusherman")
The whole fin de siecle feel of 1969's simply devastating Easy Rider is set up with this song's accompaniment in the opening sequence.
36. "Bus Rider"
From: The Guess Who's Share the Land (1970)
(2:05: I'm so awful goddamn glad I'm not in your shoes)
The late Kurt Winter, one of two replacements the Guess Who brought in to replace Randy Bachman, arrived with this song about the workingman blues in his back pocket. The single stiffed, but by then they'd already released Winter's "Hand Me Down World" – a Top 20 smash.
37. "Rehumanize Yourself"
From: The Police's Ghost in the Machine (1981)
(1:35: "Got his hand in the air with the other cunts")
Serious stuff here, dealing with mob mentality and the masks we wear in public. But with a beat like that, clearly few noticed. "Rehumanize Yourself" was next heard during a scene at a strip club for Tom Hanks' slight 1984 comedic film Bachelor Party.
38. "Some Girls"
From: The Rolling Stones' Some Girls (1978)
(2:46: "Black girls just wanna get fucked all night")
Perhaps sensing the controversial nature of this line, Jagger chose to change it while performing "Some Girls" on a 1999 Stones tour that focused on lesser-played cuts. It's unclear, however, whether "white girls" appreciated the characterization much either.
39. "We Can Be Together"
From: Jefferson Airplane's Volunteers (1969)
(1:25: "In order to survive we steal, cheat, lie, forge, fuck, hide and deal"; 3:25: "Up against the wall, motherfucker")
This provides a tidy timeline for the typical protest: Tell a hard truth, get a hard kick.
40. "My Shit's Fucked Up"
From: Warren Zevon's Life'll Kill You (2000)
(0:24: "Let me break it to you, son: Your shit's fucked up")
It's easy to read this line, delivered by a doctor in the late Zevon's patently impish way, as a heads up. But Zevon wouldn't be diagnosed with terminal mesothelioma until late 2002.

Die Orgeln der Nikolaikirche Jüterbog sind historische Orgeln. Die Hauptorgel wurde 1908 von Wilhelm Rühlmann gebaut und hat 49 Register mit drei Manualen. Das Positiv von Christoph Werner von 1657 ist die älteste erhaltene Orgel in Brandenburg.

Hauptorgel

Erste Orgeln
Bereits für das Jahr 1417 wurde eine Orgel in der St.-Nikolai-Kirche erwähnt. 1502 wurde ein neues Instrument gebaut, ebenso um 1658.

1727–1728 baute Georg Theodor Kloß aus Weißenfels eine neue Orgel mit 32 Registern. Den Prospekt schuf Johann Christian Angermann aus Jüterbog. Die Orgel war bereits nach wenigen Jahren unspielbar.

1737 wurde ein Vertrag mit Joachim Wagner geschlossen. 1741 wurde dessen Neubau eingeweiht. Dieser hatte ebenfalls 32 Register. Pfingsten 1908 wurde das Instrument letztmals gespielt, mit damals noch 28 funktionierenden Stimmen.

Rühlmann-Orgel von 1908
Wilhelm Rühlmann aus Zörbig baute in sechs Wochen ein neues Instrument ein, das am 19. Juli 1908 eingeweiht wurde. Dieses hatte 44 Register mit drei Manualen. 1929 wurde durch die Orgelbaufirma Sauer ein Rückpositiv mit 5 Stimmen ergänzt, dazu zwei Register verändert und eine Vox humana 8′ ergänzt. Die Anregungen kamen vom Pfarrer Georg Kempff.

1960–1961 wurden einige Register im Sinne der Orgelbewegung durch neubarocke ausgetauscht durch die Firma Voit aus Rathenow. 1998–1999 wurde die pneumatische Traktur restauriert.

Disposition 2010
Die Orgel hatte 2010 50 klingende Register auf drei Manualen und Pedal.

 Koppeln: II/I, III/I, III/II, I/P, II/P, III/P

Disposition der Rühlmann-Orgel
2017 wurde mit einer umfangreichen Restaurierung begonnen. Damit sollte die Rühlmann-Orgel in ihrem ursprünglichen Zustand wieder hergestellt werden. Das Rückpositiv von Sauer wurde beibehalten. Am Pfingst-Sonntag 2019 wurde die Orgel wieder eingeweiht.

 Koppeln: II/I, III/I (auch als Suboktavkoppel), III/II (auch als Suboktavkoppel), III/III (Superoktavkoppel); I/P, II/P, III/P
 Spielhilfen: Schwelltritte für Positiv und Schwellwerk

Positiv

1657 wurde von Christoph Werner ein Positiv mit fünf Stimmen gebaut. Dieses wurde 1929 durch W. Sauer restauriert. 1949 wurde folgende Disposition angegeben.

1975 restaurierte Eberswalder Orgelbau das Instrument. Es hatte danach die folgende Disposition (?)

Von 2017 bis 2018 stellte Karl Schuke aus Berlin wieder die ursprüngliche Disposition her. Das Positiv hat eine mitteltönige Stimmung und ist die älteste erhaltene Orgel in Brandenburg.

Neden Diplomatik Yorum?
Turkish Elections: Continuing to Sail in Rough Seas
On June 7, Turkey held parliamentary elections. The result was a disappointment for the Justice and Development Party (JDP) because the electorate denied them a fourth consecutive term with parliamentary majority. The logical solution would have been a coalition government but in a polarized country that proved to be impossible. So we are going to the ballot box again this Sunday, November 1 and all we hear is endless promises.
Some polls indicate that the electorate would again deny the JDP a parliamentary majority. Others do not exclude the possibility that it may. It appears that the electorate is left with two choices: the prospect of a coalition government plagued with internal disputes or a JDP government which has learnt its lesson which, by all indications, is not the case. Sadly, the chances for a new government which can effectively deal with Turkey's fundamental issues such as multi-dimensional polarization, the re-building of national unity, political reform, upgrading of our democracy and revision of our failed foreign policy are slim. In brief, Turkey will continue to sail in rough seas.
But Turkey's problems are not confined to those major issues. There is at least one other problem which any new government must address from day one regardless of who forms it. This is putting a quick end to the state of lawlessness in the country. This consists of a long list of troubles linked to our involvement in the Syrian conflict and the macho political culture which has come to dominate our daily lives. To be more specific, the new government must ensure the security of our porous borders, enforce traffic rules starting with speed limits, put an end to violence against women, put an end to power cuts, prevent waste, care for city planning and the environment just to name a few. For months now, we have a government but the country is not being governed.
Although there is scant hope, a thorough revision of foreign policy is essential. Russian intervention in Syria has added new risks and challenges to our extremely troubled agenda. Maybe the government has found some comfort in what Secretary Kerry said in the context of US-Spain cooperation during the press conference following the talks he had with Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Garcia-Margallo y Marfil in Madrid last Monday:
"… In addition, our troops have served shoulder to shoulder in Afghanistan, Turkey, and off the coast of Somalia…"
(The Secretary must have been referring to the deployment, under a NATO mission, of Patriot batteries in Turkey in 2013. Americans have left. Germans are about to leave but the Spaniards are still in Turkey.)
Turkey's security rests upon three pillars: our internal peace, a sound foreign policy and a solid defense posture. NATO, treated by the government sometimes as punching bag, sometimes as a life-jacket can only provide support under certain conditions; it cannot be a substitute. Turkey didn't have to be in the same boat with Afghanistan and Somalia.

This is a list of personality types in Dragon Quest III.
Personalities are a game mechanic added to the remakes of Dragon Quest III which affect character stat growth. The Hero is assigned one of 32 personalities through a test at the beginning of the game. Recruited members are assigned a personality based on their starting stats. Personalities can be changed throughout the game with the use of book items and by equipping certain pieces of equipment. There are a total of 45 possible personalities. Note that in most Dragon Quest games, stats are determined randomly at level up, or according to a specific distribution of growth.
In the sections below, the names of personalities from the Phone version of Dragon Quest III are used. These are the only 'official' names for personalities as the Super NES version of the game was never officially translated, and the ones featured in the Game Boy Color are obsolete. However, most fan translation names are similar to the ones used in the Game Boy Color version.
A character's personality type can be changed permanently with a book, or temporarily with an item. Not all personality types have a corresponding book or item.
Opinion #1: The vamp personality is often regarded as the best due to its +70% composite stat bonus. For this reason, choosing female characters is often preferred since males cannot have said personality. Personality does not effect anything significant in the game other than stats, so it does not benefit the player to have any character with a personality that results in a negative overall composite total. Certain personalities are better for specific vocations; for example, a male martial artist that has a lucky devil personality will keep his traditionally high agility and add a high amount of luck. This allows him to evade debilitating spells more easily.
Opinion #2: Since this is primarily a team-based game, personalities that give a large, focused increase in a particular stat are preferable to even spread options. Personalities such as paragon, bat out of hell, wit, tough cookie and maybe even lucky devil.
Paragon obviously works well with physically inclined classes such as the warrior and martial artist, as it will make their attack rating skyrocket. Although their agility will suffer, they will be able to kill many monsters in scant few hits, if not one.
Bat out of hell is best chosen through books later in the game. The vocations that would most benefit from the increased agility, spellcasters, cannot start with this personality. The other alternative is giving this to the martial artist to optimize his agility early and switch to another class or personality later on.
Tough cookie is an optimal choice for players who prefer durability. It either makes physical vocations even harder to kill, or gives precious HP to frailer ones like the mage and priest. The mage will especially enjoy the increase as it will allow him to better survive enemy attack spells, so long as you don't mind the drop in MP.
Wit increases your potential MP and is a promising choice for the hero, as Zoom, Kazap, and Omniheal are very expensive to cast. For other characters, wit is a possible alternative as it trades potential resilience for more agility.
Lucky devil and happy camper, while proving merely average stat gains, provide large increases in luck which make you much less likely to be affected by status effects. This is helpful for character with multiple abilities as they are vulnerable to various effects and are more likely to be physically weak.
Possible exceptions to the above are daredevil, vamp, and lone wolf. Daredevil provides above-average agility and resilience which provides a balanced defense along with better priority. Vamp is popular for its multiple above average stats with a possible weakness in its average resilience. Lone wolf has good increases in agility, resilience and wisdom. However, those increases are balanced by below average luck, which makes the character more vulnerable to status effects.
At the start of a new game, the hero is asked a series of questions by an unknown source. These questions determine the hero's starting personality. The player is asked to enter their real name and birth date, however these inputs have no effect on the resulting personality test. The first question is randomly chosen from the 5 possible starting questions. Any of the 29 possible personalities can be obtained from any of the 5 starting questions. In total, there are 43 different questions that can be asked, including 1 question which can be asked twice.
At the end of each possible question chain is an imaginary scenario in which the hero must decide what to do. These scenarios determine the final personality. There are 8 different scenarios that can be played depending on the player's answers to the questions. Some scenarios have up to 5 possible personality results depending on the actions of the hero during the scenario.
Characters which are created and recruited at Patty's place have different mechanism to determine their personality. Each character class has its own set of base statistics.
When the game creates a character, it assigns the base stats for the character's class and gender, then adds a variable number of bonus stats, from 2 to 10, weighted toward central values. These bonus stats are distributed one at a time among the five stats, randomly.
The resulting resilience and wisdom then determine maximum HP and MP. Warrior and martial artist maximum MP is always 0. Otherwise, maximum HP/MP is calculated as resilience/wisdom multiplied by from 195 to 205, divided by 100, rounded down. In practice, 6⁄11 of the time, this results in an amount equal to resilience/wisdom doubled, and 5⁄11 of the time, this results in an amount one lower.
After the 2–10 bonus stats are distributed and HP/MP calculated, the player is given the opportunity to accept or reject the results. If the player accepts, the player can use five seeds to further raise the character's stats. Each seed will increase the single stat by 1–3 points. The seeds can be distributed manually or randomly by the computer if the player chooses that option. After the final starting stats have been determined, a calculation is performed to determine the personality.
The base values from the above table are subtracted from the final starting stats to get the bonus values, i.e. the amount by which each stat exceeds the base value for the character's gender and class. The five stats are ranked from highest to lowest bonus. If stats have an equal bonus, the base stat value is used to break the tie. If stats have an equal bonus and value, ties are broken randomly. Finally, a personality is chosen based on class, highest ranked stat and the value of its bonus, and sometimes the second highest ranked stat, gender, and weighted chance.
Personality can be altered during the game in two ways: a character can equip a piece of equipment which forces a specific personality, or a book item can be used which changes the character's base personality. Book items can be found throughout the game, with many hidden in bookcases and pots in towns. The most highly valued book is the Vamp book which is obtainable through one of the wishes the first bonus boss grants.


Scientists are wedded to reason, to the meticulous working out of consequences from assumptions, to the careful organization of experiments designed to check those consequences. If a certain line of experiments ends nowhere, it is omitted from the final report. If an inspired guess turns out to be correct, it is not reported as an inspired guess. Instead, a solid line of voluntary thought is invented after the fact to lead up to the thought, and that is what is inserted in the final report.
The result is that anyone reading scientific papers would swear that nothing took place but voluntary thought maintaining a steady clumping stride from origin to destination, and that just can't be true.
It's such a shame. Not only does it deprive science of much of its glamour (how much of the dramatic story in Watson's Double Helix do you suppose got into the final reports announcing the great discovery of the structure of DNA ?*), but it hands over the important process of 'insight', 'inspiration', 'revelation' to the mystic.
* I'll tell you, in case you're curious. None!
The scientist actually becomes ashamed of having what we might call a revelation, as though to have one is to betray reason - when actually what we call revelation in a man who has devoted his life to reasoned thought, is after all merely reasoned thought that is not under voluntary control.
Only once in a while in modern times do we ever get a glimpse into the workings of involuntary reasoning, and when we do, it is always fascinating. Consider, for instance, the case of Friedrich August Kekulé von Stradonitz. In Kekulé's time, a century and a quarter ago, a subject of great interest to chemists was the structure of organic molecules (those associated with living tissue). Inorganic molecules were generally simple in the sense that they were made up of few atoms. Water molecules, for instance, are made up of two atoms of hydrogen and one of oxygen (H20). Molecules of ordinary salt are made up of one atom of sodium and one of chlorine (NaCl), and so on.
Organic molecules, on the other hand, often contained a large number of atoms. Ethyl alcohol molecules have two carbon atoms, six hydrogen atoms, and an oxygen atom (C2H60); the molecule of ordinary cane sugar is C12H22011, and other molecules are even more complex.
Then, too, it is sufficient, in the case of inorganic molecules generally, merely to know the kinds and numbers of atoms in the molecule; in organic molecules, more is necessary. Thus, dimethyl ether has the formula C2H60, just as ethyl alcohol does, and yet the two are quite different in properties. Apparently, the atoms are arranged differently within the molecules - but how to determine the arrangements?
In 1852, an English chemist, Edward Frankland, had noticed that the atoms of a particular element tended to combine with a fixed number of other atoms. This combining number was called 'valence'. Kekulé in 1858 reduced this notion to a system. The carbon atom, he decided (on the basis of plenty of chemical evidence) had a valence of four; the hydrogen atom, a valence of one; and the oxygen atom, a valence of two (and so on).
Why not represent the atoms as their symbols plus a number of attached dashes, that number being equal to the valence. Such atoms could then be put together as though they were so many Tinker Toy units and 'structural formulas' could be built up.
In each case, there were two carbon atoms, each with four dashes attached; six hydrogen atoms, each with one dash attached; and an oxygen atom with two dashes attached. The molecules were built up of the same components, but in different arrangements.
Kekulé's theory worked beautifully. It has been immensely deepened and elaborated since his day, but you can still find structures very much like Kekulé's Tinker Toy formulas in any modern chemical textbook. They represent oversimplifications of the true situation, but they remain extremely useful in practice even so.
Hexene is unsaturated, for that double bond has a tendency to open up and add other atoms. Hexene is chemically active. When six carbons are present in a molecule, it takes fourteen hydrogen atoms to occupy all the valence bonds and make it inert - as in hexane. In hexene, on the other hand, there are only twelve hydrogens. If there were still fewer hydrogen atoms, there would be more than one double bond; there might even be triple bonds, and the compound would be still more active than hexene.
Yet benzene, which is C6H6 and has eight fewer hydrogen atoms than hexane, is less active than hexene, which has only two fewer hydrogen atoms than hexane. In fact, benzene is even less active than hexane itself. The six hydrogen atoms in the benzene molecule seem to satisfy the six carbon atoms to a greater extent than do the fourteen hydrogen atoms in hexane.
This might seem unimportant. The Kekulé formulas were so beautifully suitable in the case of so many compounds that one might simply dismiss benzene as an exception to the general rule.
Science, however, is not English grammar. You can't just categorize something as an exception. If the exception doesn't fit into the general system, then the general system must be wrong.
Or, take the more positive approach. An exception can often be made to fit into a general system, provided the general system is broadened. Such broadening generally represents a great advance and for this reason, exceptions ought to be paid great attention.
For some seven years, Kekulé faced the problem of benzene and tried to puzzle out how a chain of six carbon atoms could be completely satisfied with as few as six hydrogen atoms in benzene and yet be left unsatisfied with twelve hydrogen atoms in hexene.
And then one day in 1865 (he tells the story himself) he was in Ghent, Belgium, and in order to get to some destination, he boarded a public bus. He was tired and, undoubtedly, the droning beat of the horses' hooves on the cobblestones, lulled him. He fell into a comatose half-sleep.
In that sleep, he seemed to see a vision of atoms attaching themselves to each other in chains that moved about. (Why not? It was the sort of thing that constantly occupied his waking thoughts.) But then one chain twisted in such a way that head and tail joined, forming a ring - and Kekulé woke with a start.
To be sure, there were still three double bonds, so you might think the molecule had to be very active - but now there was a difference. Atoms in a ring might be expected to have different properties from those in a chain and double bonds in one case might not have the properties of those in the other. At least, chemists could work on that assumption and see if it involved them in contradictions.
It didn't. The assumption worked excellently well. It turned out that organic molecules could be divided into two groups: aromatic and aliphatic. The former had the benzene ring (or certain other similar rings) as part of the structure and the latter did not. Allowing for different properties within each group, the Kekulé structures worked very well.
For nearly seventy years, Kekulé's vision held good in the hard field of actual chemical techniques, guiding the chemist through the jungle of reactions that led to the synthesis of more and more molecules. Then, in 1932, Linus Pauling applied quantum mechanics to chemical structure with sufficient subtlety to explain just why the benzene ring was so special and what had proven correct in practice proved correct in theory as well.
In 1764, the Scottish engineer James Watt was working as an instrument maker for the University of Glasgow. The university gave him a model of a Newcomen steam engine, which didn't work well, and asked him to fix it. Watt fixed it without trouble, but even when it worked perfectly, it didn't work well. It was far too inefficient and consumed incredible quantities of fuel. Was there a way to improve that?
Thought didn't help; but a peaceful, relaxed walk on a Sunday afternoon did. Watt returned with the key notion in mind of using two separate chambers, one for steam only and one for cold water only, so that the same chamber did not have to be constantly cooled and reheated to the infinite waste of fuel.
The Irish mathematician William Rowan Hamilton worked up a theory of 'quaternions' in 1843 but couldn't complete that theory until he grasped the fact that there were conditions under which p xq was not equal to q xp. The necessary thought came to him in a flash one time when he walking to town with his wife. The German physiologist Otto Loewi was working on the mechanism of nerve action, in particular, on the chemicals produced by nerve endings. He woke at 3 A.M. one night in 1921 with a perfectly clear notion of the type of experiment he would have to run to settle a key point that was puzzling him. He wrote it down and went back to sleep. When he woke in the morning, he found he couldn't remember what his inspiration had been. He remembered he had written it down, but he couldn't read his writing.
The next night, he woke again at 3 A.M. with the clear thought once more in mind. This time, he didn't fool around. He got up, dressed himself, went straight to the laboratory and began work. By 5 A.M. he had proved his point and the consequences of his findings became important enough in later years so that in 1936 he received a share in the Nobel prize in medicine and physiology.
How very often this sort of thing must happen, and what a shame that scientists are so devoted to their belief in conscious thought that they so consistently obscure the actual methods by which they obtain their results.
Ever wondered about the snake on the front cover of this magazine, coiled in a circle with its tail in its mouth?
The snake swallowing its tail is called an ouroboros (Greek for tail-devourer),it's an ancient symbol of wholeness regeneration and the cycles of life which is found ,all over the world.
In alchemy, the ouroboros represents the oneness of the universe. The head biting the tail forms an unbroken circle; having no sides or exits, the circle has always symbolised unity and totality.
Often the ouroboros figure is accompanied by the Greek phrase 'Hen to pan,' which means 'All is one.' This points to the alchemists' belief that all the matter in the cosmos is composed of the same prime material: this was what made possible the transformation of base metal into gold, the purest substance.
The ouro-boros also symbolised the 'prime matter' in the alchemist's laboratory, the stage at which the ingredients are waiting to be purified and transformed. More generally, it signified the potentiality of the universe.
Sometimes the serpent is shown coiling around an egg. Here, the egg symbolises the prime matter while the ouroboros is wrapped around it protectively, like a dragon guarding treasure. This concept, originally developed by the mystical Greek sect of the Orphics (from whom Pythagoras drew inspiration) contains a mixture of symbolism.
The idea of a protective circle is familiar in many contexts, from the practice of magic to old Westerns in which wagons fend off Indian raids by forming an impenetrable circle. In classical mythology, the world was encircled by the river Ocean. Snakes are symbolically associated with water, which in turn has often been seen as the source of life. In Mesopotamian myth, for example, the primordial waters were the domain of Tiamat, the dragon -goddess whose struggle with the god Marduk was dramatised in the epic of Creation.
The scholar Mircea Eliade elaborated the concept of the Eternal Return: the idea that in myth and ritual we return to a sacred time, the point of origin celebrated in creation myths which is also outside space and time and thus eternally present. This is the Dream Time of the Australian Aborigines. The ouroboros is a metaphor for this perpetual quest; finding renewal by recreating the beginning of things.
In the modern West we are taught to view time as linear, beginning in a Big Bang and ending, several billion years hence, possibly in a Big Crunch. But most cultures have seen time as moving in circles, endlessly returning, and the ouroboros embodies this idea on many levels.
In Buddhism it is a symbol of the great cosmic wheel of Samsara. In Egyptian art, it represents the movement of the Sun across the heavens each day. On tombstones, the ouroboros is a symbol of immortality and rebirth.
The ancients understood that life and death are not opposites but, rather, part of the same cycle. In nature, dead matter both plant and animal is the source of nutrients and new life: death is part of life and life depends on death.
Looked at in one way the snake is devouring itself, absorbing its own essence, which seems futile. But look again: in fact a new snake is growing, tail first, from the head of the old.
This is just one of the paradoxes of the ouroboros. Like the Oriental yin-yang symbol, it exemplifies the union of opposites, the dynamic balance between polarities such as life and death, male and female, stasis and change.
The ouroboros reminds us that the universe is a self-sustaining whole. The serpent takes from itself, grows and returns to its point of origin where the cycle begins afresh. It is a diagram of the endless process of absorption and emission that sustains the natural cycles of life - like a river constantly flowing back to its own source.
This isn't merely a symbolic message. These days, when we have learned that the planet resources are finite, the ouroboros might be a mode for sustainable living - a dramatic illustration of recycling!
It is also a symbol of the chthonic energies which flow through the Earth, and of the energy that flows through the human body, which in Indian philosophy is known as kundalini or serpent power and resides at the base of the spine.
Every electrician knows that power has to be earthed and mystical philosophy stresses that the body's energies need to be allowed to flow freely. With the ouroboros, the head biting the tail completes the circuit, permitting the vivifying current to pass.
It's a symbol, too, of wisdom endlessly renewing itself. The snake represents the wisdom of the Earth. The coiled snake is the circle of knowledge in which everything is linked. It demonstrates the ancient belief that knowledge is a unified, indivisible whole - in contrast to the modern tendency for ever narrower fields of specialisation.
The fact that the ouroboros is found throughout the world suggests that it is one of those signs (in Jungian terms, an archetype) that reside in the unconscious and through which concepts are mediated. As an example, take the 19th century German chemist August Kekule who was trying to discover the structure of the benzene molecule (more important than it sounds!). He got nowhere until one night he dreamed of ouroboros. At once he had the answer: the molecule formed itself into a ring.

Top actress Anita Joseph is rated among the very professional actresses that Nollywood has ever produced.This is because she is always thorough in her role interpretation and gives everything it demands to do a nice job.
No doubt,she has been tagged the most controversial actress in Nollywood due to the numerous negative stories she is always associated with.
The latest gist about Ms. Joseph that has a curvy physique that hardly goes unnoticed is that,she has turned a new leaf and set to work for God.
The talented actress is set to release a yet to be titled Gospel album.
According to the talented actress; During the subsidy strike,God gave me songs.I am dropping two Christian songs because God said I should do so.He also spoke through two men of God.
So, I said whatever His will is for me is what I will do.After all,the voice I sing with He gave me.When this message came I asked but how?
Because I know that people will talk but my spirit told me to be calm because God works in mysterious ways,that is why He said His ways are not our ways.So, I will obey God and release the songs He put in my heart.

Pregnancy and Birth: The Essential Checklists By Karen Sullivan
English | 2009 | 192 pages
Pregnancy and Birth: The Essential Checklists covers everything parents need to know and more when expecting a new baby. It alerts parents as to what to prepare, what to buy, what to ask, what to do, and when to do it. It not only shows parents how to stay on top of everything, but it also helps them to remain one step ahead.
The book is highly practical, comprehensive and straightforward, comprising essential lists of simple steps and reminders to help parents anticipate everything they need to do in pregnancy, during birth, and with their newborn baby. Starting with what to do when the test is positive (for example, book to see your doctor and begin taking folic acid), it takes parents right through to the essential clothes, toys and equipment to buy and developmental milestones for 0-3, 3-6, 6-9 and 9-12 months and preparing for their baby's first birthday party. It covers all the planning for the minutiae of daily life, listing what to put in the pregnancy handbag and how many diapers to buy, and listing everything needed for the big day (for example the birth plan, the birth partner's checklist, reflexology for labor and what labor snacks to bring along).

I recommend that you start at the beginning of this book and go straight through.
There are 5 icons (cartoon pictures) that repeatedly appear in the page margins of every chapter. Each icon takes the form of a "Memory Pill"—a key fact for you to write down and remember in a "Memory Pillbox" (handy numbered grid) at chapter end. An Anatomy icon indicates a key fact about normal body structure. Conversely, a Physiology icon labels an important fact about normal body function. Knowing some of these key structure-function facts in the normal body helps you to understand their associated disease and disorders within the
abnormal body.
The medical terminology of the book provides key facts tagged as Disease icons and other facts as Treatment/Therapy icons. Finally, there are numerous Background and History icons that identify critical people and historical events behind the development of medical terminology. A special icon is that of Hippocrates (pronounced as hih-PAHK-rah-tees). Hippocrates was an ancient Greek physician who is considered the Father of Modern Medicine. For this reason, MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY DEMYSTIFIED is subtitled as "A Visit with Hippocrates." The Ghost of Hippocrates is our narrator, who guides us along throughout the book. He is occasionally assisted by both Professor Joe, the Talking Skeleton (from ANATOMY DEMYSTIFIED and PHYSIOLOGY DEMYSTIFIED), and by Baby Heinie (his mischievous little sidekick). The goal is to provide some meaningful "edu-tainment"—"education" plus "entertainment"—for the reader.

The Encyclopedia of Diseases and Disorders provides authoritative information on a wide variety of diseases and health disorders. Although the focus in lanning this collection of articles was on subjects of interest to young readers, the information provided here is valuable to users of any age. More than two undred articles are categorized in three major areas of interest: infections, noninfectious diseases, and mental disorders. The prevalence of infections and their periodic outbreaks make headlines, especially when the news concerns new and emerging infectious diseases, but reports on the resurgence of old courges such as tuberculosis and up-to-date information about everyday health issues are also important. Articles on noninfectious diseases cover a broad pectrum of illnesses, including heart attacks, diabetes, and kidney stones, among others. Mental illness is common worldwide, and depression, eating isorders, and anxiety are particularly common in adolescents. It is important to note that many diseases are preventable; therefore, knowledge of these iseases, how they are transmitted, and the effectiveness of prevention strategies could help reduce disease transmission in particular populations, including oung people.While this encyclopedia is not a substitute for obtaining advice and treatment from a licensed medical practitioner, the knowledge about disease ffered in this reference work can help promote good health. All articles were written and edited by experts in the field, including specialists in mental health, edicine, infectious disease, and microbiology. The content of these articles can be accessed and enhanced in a variety of ways because of their structured rganization, crossreferencing, the simple A-Z format, and the provision of glossaries and resources for further reading. Valuable information is also conveyed hrough photographs, charts, graphs, and artworks with clear descriptive captions.

Occasionally books come along that really stick with you and have a lasting impact way beyond the final turn of the page. Magnifeco by Kate Black is one of those books. Written by the founder of the brilliant blog of the same name, Magnifeco is a "head-to-toe guide to ethical fashion and non-toxic beauty". We think guide is modest - to those that read the book with little previous knowledge of toxic beauty and unethical fashion it will be a life changer.
Split into 9 chapters on individual categories, Magnifeco simply presents the facts which in many cases are astounding, eye watering or down-right scary and then offers alternatives and solutions to help readers make better more informed choices.
For anyone looking to gain an understanding of ethical fashion, why it is so important and how and where to shop it this book is hard to beat. Kate covers the many complex ethical issues within fashion in a refreshingly clear and succinct style. Kate uses the acronym V.A.L.U.E. to help evaluate purchases - Vintage, Artisan, Local, Upcycled, Ethical - which is a brilliant methodology that works in a similar way to our Philosophy categories in terms of helping you clarify in your head what impact your purchase make. You will find several of our brands mentioned as good ethical fashion options including Osei Duro, Bibico, People Tree & Matt&Nat as well as Gather&See in it's own right as a multi-brand (thank you Kate!).
For someone who is already into ethical fashion but doesn't know much about toxicity of personal care products then the beauty section is an incredibly powerful eye-opener. Certainly we will be following Kate's tips as to how to shop for non-toxic beauty products and questioning which ones we can do without at all, as Kate writes "It's time to start counting chemicals."
We were fortunate enough to meet Kate at the London launch of her book at Somerset House and it was so good to hear a positive, simple approach which is echoed in the book "Do what you can, when you can." We couldn't agree more and couldn't recommend Magnifeco enough as a must read.

AB de Villiers: Artist of the modern game
AB de Villiers was a pure and simple match-winner; high on octane and low on sympathy for the bowlers.

Chennai 19 November, 2021 20:53 IST

The field was his canvas and he brush-stroked it with vibrant colours. The genius created masterpieces.
AB de Villiers was light on his feet and heavy with his strokes. A natural, he breathtakingly manipulated the bowling.
His incredible 360-degree range forced bowlers to move away from their game-plan and made field-placements a nightmare for captains. The 37-year-old South African, sadly, will not display his skills on the field anymore. He has, on Friday, retired from all forms of the game.
de Villiers was an all-format cricketing great who grew up trying his hand in various sports. He was a pure and simple match-winner; high on octane and low on sympathy for the bowlers.
Batting slots never bothered the gifted de Villiers, who timed the ball like a dream. He found the gaps with a surgeon's precision and cleared the field with ease. His batting was a thing of beauty. He rode on rhythm, grace, flow and balance. And runs came in torrents.
Pitches never held him back. He adapted with subtle changes and made runs in seaming pitches with bounce, conditions where the ball swung both ways, and on rank turners.
Like most batting greats, de Villiers picked the length early and had more than two shots for every delivery. He danced down to unsettle bowlers. Or he went deep back, using the depth of the crease, to further shorten the length and essay delicate strokes between point and third man.
READ: AB de Villiers retires from all forms of cricket
Importantly, de Villiers' fundamentals were sound. He was an aggressive batter who snatched the game from the opposition, but also had a secure defence to fall back on.
The smooth-stroker has won matches aplenty for South Africa. In Tests, his home and away record is extremely well balanced.
de Villiers started with a disadvantage since conditions for batting at home were tough, with the ball seaming around on the bouncy South African pitches. In 66 home Tests, de Villiers has 4788 runs at 47.40 with 13 centuries. And in 44 away Tests, he conjured 3396 runs at 50.68 with seven tons. In four Tests in neutral venues de Villiers made a whopping 581 runs at 116.20 with two centuries.
Astonishingly, for someone who did not open the innings, de Villiers notched up 9577 ODI runs at an outstanding average of 53.50. In Twenty20 cricket, playing for franchises around the world, he was a destroyer of bowling, rattling up 9424 runs in 340 games at 37.24 with a compelling strike rate of 150.13.
To the best player of our times and the most inspirational person I've met, you can be very proud of what you've done and what you've given to RCB my brother. Our bond is beyond the game and will always be.
— Virat Kohli (@imVkohli) November 19, 2021
Some of his innings for Royal Challengers Bangalore will be remembered for long even if the format is the shortest. The lap shot and how he harnessed the pace on the ball for strokes behind the 'keeper reflected his hand-eye coordination.
And de Villiers' bat-speed was astonishing. The ball would appear and then disappear in a hurry. His inborn athleticism came to the fore on the field, where he was, arguably, the greatest fielder of our times. The South African would fling himself on either side to make tremendous stops, and could, defying gravity, pluck catches out of thin air, both close to the wicket or in the outfield where his leap and balance would convert a potential six into a sensational catch.
The mercurial de Villiers was one of his kind. A game-changer who made his own rules.

The Blog / What Stalking Really Looks Like for Teens
January 25, 2016 By Rachel Colon, LCSW
What Stalking Really Looks Like for Teens
It begins like any high school romance: Boy meets Girl.
Boy asks for Girl's number. They start to date. Boy shows his devotion by waiting for Girl outside of all of her classes, and texting and messaging constantly. Eventually, Girl feels overwhelmed, and tells Boy that they should just be friends.
But he continues to wait for her outside of her classes, even though she tells him to stop. He leaves notes in her locker, and sends her Snapchats all day long. He tags her in all of his Facebook posts, even though she's told him it makes her uncomfortable. She mentioned her job at an after-school program, and now, he's sent in his application.
The boy's attention made her feel scared and uncomfortable, but she thought he was just socially unaware. It wasn't until we talked in my office at the Mount Sinai Adolescent Health Center that she realized that she was being stalked.
When repeated, unwanted attention makes a person feel threatened, it's considered stalking, and it's a crime.
Among teenagers, stalking is frighteningly common. Nearly half of all female stalking survivors said they were stalked before the age of 25, and one in five female victims were stalked before the age of 17. But many teens that I work with don't know what stalking is, or how to distinguish between admittedly awkward displays of affection, and behaviors that are inappropriate and illegal.
And why would they? In the media, the stalker is a scary stranger who hides in the bushes outside of a woman's house, or calls and breathes heavily into the phone. In real life, most people are stalked by someone they already know, usually a current or former partner. TV and movies, though, have a tendency to hail stalkers as romantic heroes. In this context, teens might find stalking behaviors threatening and uncomfortable, but can't define why it's wrong — and therefore, don't seek help.
The media provides models of unhealthy relationships, but we also have ourselves to blame.
We're not having important conversations about healthy relationships with the young people in our lives. As a nation, our health ed classes barely teach proper condom use, let alone healthy boundaries. As parents, we don't always know how to start these conversations with our children, particularly if our own relationships haven't always been perfect. But we need to talk, even when it's awkward or hard or uncomfortable. If we don't, young people can become victims of stalking, and not even realize.

ROBERT PLANT ( Amazing Grace ) – " Everybody's Song " Low Cover
Posted: March 3, 2020 in MUSIC
Tags: Cover, Low, Matt Worley, Oli Jefferson, Robert Plant, Saving Grace, Suzi Dian, Tony Kelsey
Saving Grace, is the latest musical project from former Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant who has announced a run of North American tour dates scheduled for the spring. The band features singer Suzi Dian, Oli Jefferson (percussion), Tony Kelsey (mandolin, baritone, acoustic guitar), and Matt Worley (banjo, acoustic/baritone guitars).
The famous rock singer took to his social media outlets on Tuesday morning to announce the upcoming run of shows that begins on May 12th . The brief run continues over six more shows in select U.S. cities, including Chicago, IL (5/15); Port Chester, NY (5/20); and New York City (5/20) before wrapping in Washington, D.C. on May 25th. The tour will also feature Catfish Keith on the billing at every performance except the Chicago date.
Saving Grace gave their first performances in the U.K. and Ireland in 2020. The band will also play five shows in the U.K. ahead of the North American run beginning on March 15th, which includes an appearance at Cheltenham Jazz Festival.
The relatively new band explores a "Repertoire of 'music inspired by the dreamscape of the Welsh Marches,' [and] songs that span Plant's diverse tastes and influences, notably his lifelong passion for British and American folk, spirituals, and traditional blues, including a number of beloved standards and longtime favorites," according to a press statement . Plant closed last year touring throughout the fall with his other band, The Sensational Space Shifters, while also releasing reissued singles from his solo catalog with the "Digging Deep" Box Set that arrived in February.
Performed by Saving Grace. Originally written and recorded by Low.
