North Sydney Tramways War Memorial : 25-December-2010
Photographs supplied by Peter F Williams
North Sydney Tramways War Memorial commemorates Tramways employees who died in service or were killed in action during World Wars One and Two.
The monument was originally erected to commemorate World War One and formerly was located where the Tramway Depot was in Military Road, Neutral Bay. It was unveiled on 3rd November 1918 and was later moved to its present site.
The memorial was rededicated in 1985.
Major-General Lee, State Commandant, yesterday afternoon, in the presence of a very large number of people, at the North Sydney Tramway Depot, Neutral Bay, unveiled a memorial monument to the men of the North Sydney tramway service who have fallen in the war. He said the sacrifice these men had made was a very material factor in enabling people to enjoy comfort and peace in Australia in spite of the devastation wrought on the other side of the world. The men of the department had by the big proportion of enlistments shown their preparedness, willingness, and determination to do their part towards supporting the country in which they lived. Addresses were delivered by Mr. G. Holt, District Superlntendant, who presided, and by Dean Talbot, Father B. McAuliffe, and the Rev. P. Colwell, chaplains.

The Theory of Constraints (TOC) has evolved from a manufacturing operations scheduling technique to becoming a method for continuous organizational improvement and change. Our discussion will focus on a case study example that applies to three organizational issues – leadership, organizational structure, and performance appraisals; and how Reality Tree and Evaporating Cloud techniques can be used to identify the core problems and provide a means for resolving conflicts in situations when there are shared goals, but there are differences in opinion about what needs to change.
Please sign in with the guard on the first floor. Building is located on the block directly south of the Clay Pit.

TO BUREAU (89-4286) PRIORITY
SAN FRANCISCO PRIORITY
Re Bureau teletypes to all field offices, November 21, 1978, and November 22, 1978.
The following information is being set out for the information of the Bureau and San Francisco:
On November 21, 1978, [name and address withheld], Waterloo, Iowa, contacted FBI Waterloo RA and advised [name withheld] has been a member of the Peoples Temple of Christian Disciples of God from 1969 to 1972 and wished to talk to the FBI regarding the assassination of Congressman Ryan and the mass suicides at the compound in Guyana.
PAGE TWO, OM 89-94, UNCLAS EFTO
On same date, [name withheld] was interviewed at her residence regarding her knowledge of the assassination of Congressman Leo J. Ryan and the mass suicides. [name withheld] was unable to furnish any specific information concerning the assassination of Congressman Ryan or the mass suicides. The following is a succinct summary of information furnished by [name withheld]:
[name withheld] advised she joined the Peoples Temple of Christian Disciples of God, more commonly known to her as the Peoples Temple, during 1969 at Los Angeles, California. At that time she was married to [name withheld] [Ronald Wayne Talley] who also joined the group at the same time. Both were heroin addicts and joined the group to seek aid in being cured of their drug addiction. The couple, along with their daughter, [name withheld] moved to San Francisco, CA., where they began their association with the group. Within a few weeks, they were told to move to Ukiah, CA., where they established residency and obtained employment. Accounting for the group was located at Redwood [Valley], CA., a short distance from Ukiah, CA.
PAGE THREE, OM 89-94, UNCLAS EFTO
[name withheld] advised although the group on the surface appeared to be a religious group, it was actually politically oriented and Jim Jones, the leader, professed a political philosophy adhering to the teachings of Marx and Lennon [Lenin]. All members of the group had to attend closed instructional meetings two or three days a week, each lasting several hours. During these meetings, Jones or other assistant leaders of the group would read from the teachings of Marx and Lennon. The group's primary purpose was to establish a socialistic-communist form of government in this country by the overthrow of the U.S. government. Initially Jones preached a peaceful overthrow which included having Jones and others assume influential political positions in the country and thereafter taking over the government. Additionally, the group had a philosophy that the white race was evil and attempted to convince all white members that they should try to consider themselves non-white.
[name withheld] and her former husband, [Ron Talley], had to contribute at least one-fourth of the total earnings to the group as was the requirement for all members. At a point of
PAGE FOUR, OM 89-94, UNCLAS EFTO
approximately one-half to one year after she joined the group, she signed a document during a meeting with Jones and several assistant leaders, referred to as counselors. This document was an acknowledgment that she was a participant in a socialist-communist revolutionary movement with a purpose to overthrow the U.S. government. She advised she signed this under threat of being expelled from the group.
Eventually she left the group during 1972 as she did not accept all of the teachings of Jones and his assistants. She was considered an unencouragable [incorrigible?] member and was allowed to leave the group and take her daughter with her. Her former husband remained with the group for an unspecified time but eventually separated and returned to Long Beach, CA., area where he again began to use drugs.
Subsequent to her separation from the Peoples Temple, she met her current husband, [name withheld], and they were eventually married in February, 1976. Although she did not
PAGE FIVE, OM 89-94, UNCLAS EFTO
maintain any contact with the Peoples Temple, she did maintain contact with friends who also officially separated from the group.
In July, 1978, and just prior to the [name withheld] leaving California to come to Iowa, [Ron Talley] contacted [name withheld] and advised he was returning to the Peoples Temple and that he was traveling to a newly constructed compound in Guyana, South America. He commented at that time that something big was going to happen but was not specific. He indicated movement was not successful following peaceful means and that it would be necessary for them to use violence to achieve their goals. That was the last time she had any conversation with [Ron Talley]. However, since that time her daughter, [name withheld] had received five or six letters from [Ron Talley], all of which appear similar in that he would always describe how wonderful it was at the commune in Guyana and what a wonderful life they were all sharing there.
PAGE SIX, OM 89-94, UNCLAS EFTO
A letter arrived in Waterloo as recent as November 20, 1978, which was similar in content to the previous letters.
On the same date, she received a telephone call from a friend in California who she declined to identify. The friend indicated she had received information via a [name withheld] (phonetic) who had been a body guard for Jim Jones, that all former members of the Peoples Temple had been sent letters written by friends, family or associates at the commune in Guyana. The purpose for the letters were allegedly to determine the whereabouts of all former members.
[name withheld] advised she believed that only her former husband, [Ron Talley], was at the commune in Guyana at the time of the mass suicides, but also all of the known living members of [Talley] family, who included four sisters and their children.
[name withheld] advised she had no knowledge of any stockpiles of weapons or ammunition while she was a member of the
PAGE SEVEN, OM 89-94, UNCLAS EFTO
group and that the only members who she knew carried firearms and who participated in firearms training regularly were the numerous body guards for Jim Jones.
[name withheld] advised the mass suicides coincided with the philosophy of the group and taught by Jones, that if the group and its people were threatened, they would eliminate anyone who threatened the group and then would all commit suicide.
When asked if she could identify other leaders and members of the Peoples Temple, [name withheld] furnished the following list of individuals:
Archie Imes [Ijames], believed to be second in command after Jones. Imes described as black male who [name withheld] saw on television being interviewed at the Peoples Temple in San Francisco, CA., November 20, 1978.
Jack Deam [Beam], white male, also very close associate of Jim Jones. Both Deam and Imes allegedly had come to
PAGE EIGHT, OM 89-94, UNCLAS EFTO
California from Indiana with Jones to establish the Peoples Temple.
Tim Stone [Stoen], white male, who served as a lawyer for the group. Stone allegedly was an Assistant District Country for Mendocino County, California.
Grace Stone, wife of Tim Stone, who served as one of the counselors for the group. Stone was one of the participants in the meeting where [name withheld] was forced to sign the document professing loyalty to the group's movement.
Larry Layton, white male, who served as counselor group.
Karen Layton, wife of Larry, white female, who served as a secretary for Jones as well as a counselor for the group.
Bonnie Beck, white female, who served as counselor and secretary for Jones.
[name withheld] identified the following individuals as having been body guards for Jones:
PAGE NINE, OM 89-94, UNCLAS EFTO
Donald Beck, Bonnie Beck's husband, white male and formerly elementary teacher, Ukiah, CA.
Mike [Lee] Ingram, black male; Jim Cobb, black male; Chris Johnson, black male, and Paul Farrel (phonetic) [likely Flowers], black male.
[name withheld] furnished the following information and physical description of her former husband, [name withheld], who she believes would have possibly participated in the mass suicides along with his four sisters and their children:
White male, born [Ronald Wayne Talley] at Long Beach, CA., 5 feet 7 inches tall, 140 pounds, [information withheld], medium build, had [2 lines deleted] and numerous needle marks on both arms as a result of his addiction to heroin. [2 lines deleted]
[Talley's] four sisters believed to be with him in the
PAGE TEN, OM 89-94, UNCLAS EFTO
compound are as follows:
[Michaeleen Brady] white female, age [deleted], 5 feet 2 inches tall, chunky build, two daughters, [Georgianne and Michelle], age [12] and [11].
[Info on remaining three almost completely withheld; Ron Talley's other sisters were Maureen Fitch, Marlene Wheeler and Christine Talley. Marlene had two sons, Jeff and Darius. All died in Jonestown].
[name withheld] advised she believed there were two possible arguments of the recent events occurring at Guyana and these were that the remaining members of the Peoples Temple would unite and continue the movement or that additional mass suicides and murders would take place, including the elimination of all former members.
Consequently, [name withheld] requested her identity be protected
PAGE ELEVEN, OM 89-94, UNCLAS EFTO
but would continue to furnish information to the FBI. She believes that her friends in California were formerly members of the group would not be cooperative because of their fear of being assassinated, and therefore, she is doubtful she will be able to obtain any additional information.

Undertitel: An Alphabetical Listing of the Officers and Batteries of the Confederacy, 1861-1865
F. Ray Sibley
Confederate Artillery Organizations
An Alphabetical Listing of the Officers and Batteries of the Confederacy, 1861-1865 is a remarkable, immensely useful, and exceedingly rare book containing the names of the officers and every Confederate artillery unit. It is so rare that most scholars in the field don't even know of its existence.It was originally published as simply Confederate Artillery Organizations by the U.S. War Department in 1898, one of Marcus J. Wright's compilation aids to help assemble and organize the massive publication that would appear as the 128-volume The War of the Rebellion: A Compilation of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies (1880-1901), known to researchers and students alike as simply Official Records.Editor Ray Sibley spent more than a decade researching the thousands of entries, correcting mistakes, and adding many artillery units and additional officers unknown to the original compilers more than a century ago. Sibley utilized archival records, manuscripts, letters, diaries, and other sources to verify the original work, correct mistakes, and add further useful information in the form of hundreds of valuable footnotes.This new updated and easy-to-use reference work sets forth the linage of the Confederate artillery. It lists, in alphabetical order, individual batteries to artillery regiments, the names and alternate names for the batteries and the names of the men who led them. Also included are the dates of acceptance into Confederate service for each unit. Most companies have an annotation that includes an alternate name (if there was one), and the date if a unit disbanded or was merged into another organization. The annotations for officers include date of appointment, date of promotion to a higher grade (if any), date of transfers (if any), date dropped from rolls (if any), and date relieved of command (if any).

Following in the footsteps of Taylor Fritz, two local junior tennis players play at Easter Bowl
Andrew L. John
Andrew Hayduke II grew up attending the BNP Paribas Open, watching the biggest names in tennis play in one of the world's largest tennis stadiums. Then, this week, the 16-year-old from Rancho Mirage was one of two Coachella Valley natives to play at one of the most prestigious junior tournaments at the world-famous Indian Wells Tennis Garden.
Hayduke and Sky Valley resident Brody Nejedly Krall each played this week in the Easter Bowl, the tournament that has been won by the likes of John McEnroe, Jennifer Capriati, Andy Roddick and, more recently, Taylor Fritz. They are among the short list of local juniors to have played in the event that has run annually since the 1960s.
Hayduke, who is ranked 99th in the country in his age division, lost his first match this week, but beat the 23rd-ranked player in the country in the consolation bracket of the 16s draw. Hayduke also won a doubles match and finished his week 1-2 in singles and 1-1 in doubles.
With his win in singles, Hayduke is likely to move up in the rankings before he plays next at a tournament in Las Vegas. This was Hayduke's first experience playing at the Easter Bowl, and it's an opportunity most juniors would relish.
"It's always been a tournament that I really wanted to play, but I just was never ranked high enough to play it," Hayduke said. "Now that I did, it's something on my bucket list."
Krall, a 16-year-old who attends Palm Desert High School but does not play on the school's tennis team, played a pair of singles matches and a doubles match. He lost all three, having lost a pair of matches in which he led.
He lost his first match, 7-5, 7-5. Against his second opponent, on Tuesday, he was serving for the set but couldn't finish.
"I should have won both of those matches," Krall said, "because I was serving for the set both times, and I just didn't close it out. It was tough."
Krall, who is the son of former pro Martina Nejedly from Canada, has now played at National Clay Court Championships and the Orange Bowl, both in Florida, and now the Easter Bowl. That is the trifecta of elite junior tennis tournaments.

With Fritz winning the BNP Paribas Open this year, it seemed to generate some excitement at the Easter Bowl — particularly with the local players. The 24-year-old from Southern California grew up with ties to the valley with his dad, Guy Fritz, coaching at College of the Desert. Fritz's win showed that someone who grew up nearby and played in the Easter Bowl can win at the highest level in the sport.
It's still too early to tell what the future holds for Hayduke and Krall. Both intend to play junior tournaments for the next couple years, including the Easter Bowl, then play a high level of Division I tennis in college.
Then, who knows, maybe one day we'll see them at the BNP Paribas Open.
"It was really fun," Krall said of playing at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden. "I liked the courts there, and the scenery is really nice. After I finished, I could just drive home and relax and do my normal routine. It was great."
*A previous version of this story incorrectly stated that Andrew Hayduke II was 1-3 in singles instead of 1-2. We regret this error.

As part of our ongoing Kiwi Founders Series, we are chatting to successful New Zealand founders who are 'doing it', as we learn what has and hasn't worked for them as they've built successful international businesses. This post is adapted from a crowdcast with Alliv Samson, COO & CoFounder of Kami.
What started as a last-minute entry to the Velocity startup program at The University of Auckland has turned into Kami, an online document viewer and annotation tool with more than 2 million registered users, with backing from Sam Altman (President of Y Combinator) and Scott Nolan (Partner at Founders Fund).
Kami was originally Notable PDF, a Powerpoint annotation tool aimed at tertiary students. The team has since pivoted twice and now focuses on the North American K-12 education market. Rebranding and refocusing has seen the company take on massive growth – "Notable had 5,000 users within 1-1.5 years, now we get 5,000 new users in a day with the same effort." The first pivot was to focus on the American market, which they did in 2014. As of early 2016 they've focused all there marketing, growth, engineering and development on the K-12 education market.
Before focusing on the K-12 education market, Kami had a very broad audience – teachers, lawyers, doctors, working professionals and tertiary students all loved using the product. Different users engaged with brand and its content marketing differently – lawyers and professionals were heavy users of LinkedIn and also were avid newsletter readers. The Kami blog and twitter account is what teachers prefer to engage with. Facebook is much less effective than Twitter.
Working with a niche market also lets you focus on going to industry conferences. While the team originally thought conferences were a waste of time, they've since found it as a massive growth driver. Not only is there massive "face to face" value where you learn about customer concerns, but there are also a number of workshops. Alliv tries to get in touch with as many workshop instructors as possible 1-2 months before the conference to talk to them about the product. From an engineering point of view, focusing on the education market requires less advanced features than a product targeting lawyers or doctors.
With no advertising budget, Kami focus 100% of their marketing on content that helps teachers in their day-to-day lives, which is a massive driver of referrals.
With a US focus from day one of their pivot away from Notable PDF, the long-term plan for Kami is to move to America, however they are currently based in Auckland. One of the key benefits to staying in New Zealand but traveling to the USA frequently lets you collect 'on the ground' information, but also stops you from being distracted by all the shiny things in Silicon Valley. Moving to America is a very disruptive process that would drastically increase their burn rate. By staying in New Zealand, and flying out as necessary works for the current stage of the business. That said there are consequences, with the team aiming to be as close to NY time as possible in order to properly support their East Coast customers. A typical day for Alliv has her waking up and starting at 4am, with the first webinar scheduled for 6am. In lieu of moving to America, the team are considering moving to Vancouver or Toronto as a way of minimizing the disruption of moving to the US (visas are significantly easier) while Silicon Valley is only a short flight away.
Top tier Silicon Valley investors while still in NZ?
One of the most interesting parts to the Kami story is their heavyweight investors with Sam Altman (President of Y Combinator) and Scott Nolan (Partner at Founders Fund) sitting on their advisory board already. Alliv explains that initially the team wanted to get into Y Combinator and had unsuccessfully pitched to the program in the past. In late 2014 they learnt that Sam Altman and Scott Nolan would be in Auckland for an event. With a goal to get detailed feedback from Sam that would help them with their next YC pitch, the team hustled their way into the event and secured a 15 minute one on one chat. During that short chat, the team spent that time showing the product off, their growth and vision for the future. They managed to get valuable feedback that left them planning on applying for the next YC batch. While they weren't pitching Sam for investment, but were in the process of closing their seed round. Around the same time Jordan (their CTO) was on a holiday in San Francisco, when Scott asked if they could meet to talk more about potential investment. Again, the team was not expecting investment, but two weeks later, while at a conference in Florida, they received a call from Nolan asking if he could get in on the seed round.
This ethos has continued as Kami has started monetising, initially asking users what they would pay to upgrade to a "premium" plan. Users paid anything from $2-$100 for a license. Now they have a range of plans for teachers and professionals, with education prices depending on district size and types of users. While a lot of founders run from education, there is budget available, provided you can find the right person and determine the size of their budget.
One of my favourite stories from Alliv is a button that doesn't do anything that is live in the product. When you push it, it asks you to email support. What is fascinating about this feature and way of building a lean product is that their customers would email them and ask why the button wasn't working, Alliv and the team would then pounce on support and engage in a feedback loop which essentially involved asking these customers why they were using the button and what they would need it for. To me this was a genius way of getting customer feedback by having deliberate things that are broken to engage with your users in a two way process.
Kami have many lessons about the differences in customers and how they use the product depending on where they are from. Alliv mentions that New Zealand customers would stop using the product or use it and not give feedback, where as US customers were always giving feedback and would always ask for things. When you are building out your product roadmap and future features this makes it much easier to plan for the future and build a product that people actually want to use and will pay for. This was one of those small insights that is an exponential opportunity for startups targeting the US market, invite that feedback and figure out ways to attract it.
By focusing on growth over a perfect product Kami have built a product that is ubiquitous in the lives of millions around the world. By optimizing for what customers actually want rather they have been able to scale to with a small four person team. Finding and focusing on one specific niche stops them from having to add complex features that benefit a small subset of users, and also allows them to focus their marketing efforts.
Supplementing an Auckland HQ with frequent visits to the US market keeps the company in close contact with their customers while also avoiding the shiny objects of the valley and the disruption and cost of moving to America.

Q: GetSubRect(roi).Convert() throws an exception I wrote a code for selecting an area out of a Kinect picture (see below). This area should be defined as ROI of an object in the picture. The selection of the area works, but at the line
Image<Bgr, Byte> roiImage = HandImage1.GetSubRect(roi).Convert<Bgr, Byte>();

the program throws an exception fruthermore the following line is not accepted by the compiler, whereby I dont know if that's depending of the right syntax of the line before.

                    Image<Bgr, Byte> roiImage = HandImage1.GetSubRect(roi).Convert<Bgr, Byte>(); //<-----------------------

                    IntoImage.Draw(roiImage, new Bgr(Color.Blue), 2);                            // <-----------------------

                    // Alternative???

                     Size estimatedSize = new Size((int)minRect.size.Width + (int)GrenzeX, (int)minRect.size.Height + (int)GrenzeY);

                     PointF estimatedCenter = new PointF((float)((int)minRect.center.X - (int)GrenzeX), (float)((int)minRect.center.Y - (int)GrenzeY));

                     Rectangle boostedROI = new MCvBox2D(estimatedCenter, estimatedSize, 0).MinAreaRect();

                     boostedROI.X += DangerB.X;
                     boostedROI.Y += DangerB.Y;

                     IntoImage.Draw(boostedROI, new Bgr(Color.Blue), 2);

                }

            Contours = Contours.HNext;
        }
        return minRects1;
}

A: As I know, you need to use HandImage1.ROI property instead of HandImage1.GetSubRect(roi).
For example
 Rectangle roi = new Rectangle((int)minRect.center.X - (int)GrenzeX, (int)minRect.center.Y - (int)(GrenzeY), (int)minRect.size.Height + (int)GrenzeY, (int)minRect.size.Width + (int)GrenzeX);
 Image<Bgr, Byte> roiImage = HandImage1.Convert<Bgr, Byte>();
 roiImage.ROI=roi;

31 year old Cristiano Ronaldo, who played alongside his Portugal teammates and beat the hosts, France to win the Euro 2016 trophy earlier this year, has is earnings over the last 12 months before tax, calculated to be a hefty $88,000,000. He charts joint fourth on the highest paid celebrity list, the same position as Dr Phil. As a result, Real Madrid player, Ronaldo is the highest paid athlete on the Forbes list and ESPN claims that Ronaldo is currently the world's most famous athlete.
I won't write anymore about Ronaldo's great achievements and accolades as this information is easily accessible online and the purpose of this article is to focus on Cristiano's nutrition habits. This blog post is the fifth in the YouRCooK Nutrition Habits series which looks at what the top 100 highest paid celebrities of 2016 eat and drink. Over the course of the remaining 95 days, I will somehow explore these celebrities nutrition habits and see if there is a link between high earnings and good nutrition (what does good nutrition even mean?). I have not found sufficient evidence as yet to confirm or disprove whether the wealthiest celebrities have a so called 'healthier' diet but only time will tell whether an association exists.
You must also bare in mind that the information that I present is sourced from online sources and is only as accurate as the data provided. I will make the effort to contact each celebrity on the list or their agent and ask them for a list of what they tend to eat and drink but lets be realistic, they are quite unlikely to reply to me as they have more important things to be getting on with. Maybe one day I will be pleasantly surprised and receive a response about their nutrition but until such a day arrives, you will have to make do with the information I find, inaccurate or accurate.
As an elite footballer at the top of his game, Ronaldo needs the right type of nutrition to fuel his football lifestyle.
So what does Ronaldo consume?
I already new half the answer due to my stint as a Herbalife Representative in 2012, yes I was a 'wellness coach' assisting people to live healthier active lifestyles for a short while. At the time Ronaldo was a Herbalife ambassador and he still is. I remember seeing videos and photographs of him consuming a range of Herbalife products. Recently, Herbalife 24 in partnership with Ronaldo has developed a new sports drink called #CR7Drive to fuel your workouts and enhance hydration.
So we know Ronaldo consumes a selection of Herbalife products but what else does he eat and drink? A combination of personalised nutrition and the intense training regime required to meet the demands of being a world class, high performing sportsman is clearly displayed through Ronaldo's very honed lean physique. There are an abundance of photographs showing his chiselled, washboard six pack abs and so his nutrition definitely plays apart in him maintaining that sort of physical appearance.
Thanks to this article although it is a few years old, we get an insight into Ronaldo's diet. However, it does not reveal any new innovative revolutionary nutrition insights about what types of foods you should eat to help you achieve that lean look. It is now common knowledge really what people eat and how they train to ensure they have that shredded look.
The piece states that Cristiano hardly eats junk food because he wants to limit his fat intake. Ronaldo also limits his alcohol intake and his breakfast contains fruits, whole grains and natural juices. Lunch usually contains fresh salads, vegetables, chicken and fish and an evening meal is similar. To provide fats for his body, Cristiano prefers to go for salads, which provide carbohydrates rather than sugary foods that increase fats in the body. Cristiano also takes supplements such as Herbalife which provide adequate proteins.
Cristiano Ronaldo eats regularly so his energy levels are high in order to fuel his body for better performance and he sometimes eats up to six small meals a day.
What a revelation! The type of food and drink Ronaldo consumes and the frequency at which he does, is probably what a lot of other athletes do. But for the sake of me not losing interest in this nutrition habit series, especially when it comes to me writing about the highly effective habits of sports champions, I hope there are some surprising differences in the nutrition regimes between athletes, or many of the articles that I will have to write will contain very similar details. However, that would never be the case as I would try and do my best to make the article interesting somehow.
So, I've now covered Ronaldo's nutrition habits competently or incompetently depending on your opinion and it is evident that Cristiano has to eat 'right' for his sport and he is wealthy because of the sport he engages in, his phenomenal footballing skills that he possesses and his sponsorship and endorsement deals.
Next in the YouRCooK series of the nutrition habits of the top 100 richest celebrities of 2016, is Comedian and Actor Kevin Hart. I'm not sure how I am going to manage to continue writing about this topic but as I have committed to sharing this with you all over the course of 100 days, I will diligently work my way through the rest of the list, honing my research and writing skills to deliver a riveting blog post that you will be compelled to read from start to finish tomorrow (mmm, yes really).

Heavy Blog's Most Anticipated Releases of 2016
written by Scott Murphy on January 1, 2016
OK. 2015 is now officially over and what an insanely great it has been. Like all years however, it is followed by another one (unless induction isn't a thing in which case, we're screwed) and it's time to start turning our eyes towards the one which awaits us now. 2016 has its bar raised high but, like the year before it, we hope it will blast through that benchmark and show us things we never even imagined we'd see. But to be surprised one must first have expectations. And so, we present you with our short primer of what to wait for in 2016. The list is made up of three parts: the first, "Confirmed Releases", are albums which are pretty much done and have a clear release date. There's no real, line in the sand definition but you'll get the feeling for what we consider "confirmed" as you read the list. The second category is "Releases in Progress". It's made up of albums we know are coming but are also somewhere in production, either being written, tracked, recorded, whatever.
The last category is our wishlist. There's very little chance that these albums are even coming because there's no news about them yet; however, we know that bands like to be mercurial, for marketing reasons and for their own, personal reasons, and so there's no need to give up home. Last thing: it's obvious that we've missed a ton of releases that are coming out next year. Some we've ignored on purpose: you don't need us to tell you to be hyped for the new Metallica. We've focused on smaller bands or more niche sounds, trying to draw attention to those unique voices. In addition, there are probably some bands that do fit the bill but we had to choose an arbitrary length for this article. There's a lot of good music coming out soon and if you feel like we've missed something that people simply must know about, let us know in the comments!
Let's get to it. Here's to a great 2016.
Black Tusk – Pillars of Ash (1/29 via Relapse)
Death is not the end. Thus screams loudly the news that Black Tusk, recovering from the tragic death of Jonathan Athon (bass), are planning an album for 2016. The two tracks already are monolithic, massive and immediately engaging sludge. This album is set to make plenty of speakers combust, so make sure to keep an eye out for Pillars Of Ash come January 29th.
Borknagar – Winter Thrice (1/22 via Century Media)
Is it melodic death metal? Is it black metal with folk influences? We don't really care; bottom line is that this supergroup breaks the often shabby mold of supergroups, creating addicting music for years now. We've gotten our hands on this release already and we can tell you: it's amazing. ICS Vortex over moving, emotional riffs, heavy songs that hit hard and lyrical content that shows thought and depth. What more could you want or need?
Chthe'ilist – Le Dernier Crépuscule (1/29 via Profound Lore)
Profound Lore truly outdid themselves in 2015 with a myriad of top-tier releases ranging from noise (Prurient) to funeral doom (Bell Witch) to post punk (Gold) to death metal (Abyssal). It's this last genre that will kick of another solid year for the label, as Canadian filth-mongers Chthe'ilist are slated to drop a sickening slap of old school genre veneration. Lead single "Voidspawn" bears hints of Demilich, Autopsy and Incantation with a murky assault that should leave DM fans thirsty for more.
Devil Driver – Trust No One (5/13 via Napalm)
Ever since they released their self-titled debut in 2003, DevilDriver settled into a relentless cycle which saw them constantly touring around the world whilst still releasing an album every two years. The nu metal aspects of their sound disappeared quickly after the release of their debut, and since then DevilDriver have found their home marrying Gothenburg-inspired riffing and soloing with the punishing grooves which have been their hallmark since day one. Yet, whilst we're unlikely to see a host of experimentation from what has become their signature sound, this album is the product of significant change within the DevilDriver camp. 2014 was a year of flux for the band, a year which saw two of their three remaining founding members, Jeff Kendrick (guitar) and John Boecklin (drums), depart the band before a hiatus was announced so that the third, vocalist Dez Fafara, could concentrate on the reunion of his former band, Coal Chamber. Thus, it will be interesting to see how the additions of Neal Tiemann (Midwest Kings, The Anthemic) on guitar and Austin D'Amond (ex-Chimaira) on drums affect the band's songwriting and arrangements as the band return from their longest studio break to date. They won't ever be considered giants of metal, but DevilDriver are nothing if not consistent. As one of the few bands who, six releases into their career, can truly say they've never had a bad release, fans will be hoping that doesn't change with the release of Trust No One on May 13 2016. Despite what their new title suggests, we can certainly trust DevilDriver to hit back in 2016 with what everyone wants: snarling vocals, thunderous drumming and earth-shaking grooves.
Dream Theater – The Astonishing (1/29 via Roadrunner)
Over the past decade, respect for Dream Theater has waned as they've become increasingly irrelevant in the metal world, their fall all the more hastened following Mike Portnoy's departure in 2010. Yet, it must not be forgotten that these veterans of thirty years (yes, thirty!) have survived and thrived through various phases and trends within both progressive and metal music, and that they have risen to past challenges with truly exceptional albums. Their discography has influenced countless bands which have come after them, yet they must now prove that they're more than just a legacy act, and that they can still create music which inspires their peers and those that follow. It is thus fitting that their latest offering, The Astonishing, is perhaps their most ambitious record to date – and looking into the history of the band that's really saying something! A double concept album with a monstrous 34 tracks, the record follows a group of rebels, the Ravenskill Rebel Militia, rising against the oppressive Great Northern Empire of the Americas. Their website is already allowing fans to immerse themselves in the concept, detailing the final track listing and exploring both the map of the world in which the story takes place, and most of the characters that will be involved. Thus far, one track has been released and it's pretty standard fare for Dream Theater, LaBrie's recognisable vocals adorning the first half of the track, before Petrucci and Rudess begin playing off each other in the instrumental passage which concludes the song. Whilst it won't inspire reactions of awe, it is also unfair to judge such a monolithic project from a single track which has been taken out of its context. Such an ambitious project is naturally a high risk, high reward proposition, and so we must wait with baited breath for the impending release on January 29 2016, the date we learn whether they can still be invigorating and fresh, or whether they should be written off as relics of a past age.
Jesu & Sun Kil Moon – Jesu/Sun Kil Moon (1/21 via Calo Verde/Rough Trade)
This is one of those collaborations that no one saw coming but now has everyone waiting for with intense anticipation. All of the tracks released thus far have exhibited an even split between the two projects' dabblings in shoegaze, drone and Americana, and it will be interesting to see how some recurring lyrical themes will play out over the remainder of the record.
Lycus – Chasm (1/15 via Relapse)
One one of the best modern funeral doom acts by far, Lycus is finally back to follow up 2013's exceptional Tempest. The record appears to be longer, with four tracks versus Tempest's three, something that will hopefully hint towards an even more lush and fleshed out approach this time around.
Magrudergrind – II (2/12 via Relapse)
It's been 7 years since Magrudergrind's last full length album, Magrudergrind, and those seven years have been some of the most painful in existence for grind-violence fans everywhere. Luckily for those grind-violence nerds though, 2016 will come with a new Magrudergrind record, titled II. The first single from the record, Sacrificial Heir, shows the band doing what they do best; ripping through a furious assault of d-beats/blast beats before a pummeling sludge breakdown. It is a promising sign of what the album may have in store, and an apt reward for the fans after waiting so patiently.
Nails – You Will Never Be One of Us (TBA via Nuclear Blast)
If their exclusive 7" flexi disc for Decibel Magazine is any inkling for what Nails has in store for us in 2016, then color me excited and full of anger that must have been suppressed all this time. You Will Never Be One Of Us is due out sometime in 2016 through Nuclear Blast Records. Not only should you be excited for this new release because it's another album by Nails, but that it'll be 3 long years since its predecessor, Abandon All Life, and that was a short album of pure hatred and terror. Vocalist Todd Jones seems to sound different on each Nails release (including their Obscene Humanity EP from 2013 and the 7" flexi), and my prediction is that he won't be doing his higher pitch shriek-style vocals like on Abandon All Life, but that his vocals will be darker and more guttural like the 7" flexi (or who knows, maybe he'll go even lower). I know that I keep mentioning the 7" flexi, but at this moment, it's really all that we have in terms of new Nails material. Will those two songs be on You Will Never Be One Of Us? Who knows, but either way, this album is highly anticipated by those who love hardcore, powerviolence, grindcore, etc.
Obscura – Akróasis (2/5 via Relapse)
After a pretty big lineup shuffle, Obscura are finally on track to release their fifth album Akroasis. The two singles released so far have been on pretty different edges of the progressive death metal spectrum, with the title track having a lot of ambience and slow, melancholic chords, and the second single "Sermon of the Seven Suns" more along the lines of the band's older sound, being melodic tech death with Cynic influences and weird soloing. Regardless, both sounds are quite exciting and the teasers from the album have sounded excellent. All that we need to know is that Obscura are back, and they're still excellent.
Sarah Neufeld – The Ridge (2/26 via Paper Bag)
Violinist Sarah Neufeld (Arcade Fire) made a name for herself this past year with her collaboration album with saxophonist Colin Stetson Never were the way she was (which we named our 48th favorite album of 2015). Her meditative style of playing combined with her ethereal vocal cooing produces a highly potent and affecting emotional sound that's guaranteed to tug at at least a few heartstrings. Right on the heels of that, she will be releasing her second solo LP, The Ridge, February 26, which will feature herself and drummer Jeremy Gara. The single that's been released, the cathartic title track, gives us every reason to expect The Ridge to be one of the best post-rock/indie classical albums of the year.
Steven Wilson – 4 1/2 (1/22 via Burning Shed/KScope)
Can this man please slow down? It hasn't been a year since the amazing Hand.Cannot.Erase and Wilson is already planning to release a new album. Granted, this will be stuff from the editing floor, but 4½ will also feature a remaster of one of Porcupine Tree's best songs, "Don't Hate Me". Does this hint at Wilson's pining for more Porcupine Tree? One can only dream. Expect this release on the 22nd of January.
Tortoise – The Catastrophist (1/22 via Thrill Jockey)
The Chicago post-jazz-electro-rock veterans released the first single off of their 7th studio LP The Catastrophist, "Gesceap" way back in October, and they've been pretty quiet since. The album is dropping January 22 though, and although "Gesceap" felt more like a longform build towards something great rather than something great in itself, Tortoise's proven track record should give every fan faith in the band to deliver something unexpected and terrific.
Ulver – ATGCLVLSSCAP (1/22 via House of Mythology)
The ever mercurial Ulver are planning to once again shatter our perceptions of what they are. Composed of live improvisation, some of old tracks and some of new material, ATGCLVLSSCAP (that's actually the name of the album by the way) will push the boundaries of what Ulver are all about. It remains to be seen if we'll be able to parse or will the band finally reach their limit. I'm betting on the former but we'll see on January 22nd.
Vektor – Terminal Redux (3/11 via Earache)
Vektor are almost single-handedly holding the torch for the progressive thrash genre. Yes, there are other bands in the genre, but Vektor are definitely the most visible of them. Their third album, Terminal Redux is slated for March 2016, and after Black Future and Outer Isolation both being excellent, expectations are high for their upcoming work. The material we've heard from it so far verifies that they are showing no signs of slowing down, and the wait for March will be a long one.
Wormed – Krighsu (3/18 via Season of the Mist)
Dear lord, yes. Exodromos, the band's previous effort, is still very much my go to album when I need to be pommeled into the ground by riffs, technicality and just plain brutality. This album is sure to bring the technical death metal in the extreme but hopefully it maintains that signature, chunky and larger life Wormed sound. Get your ears ready for this one because it will surely require at least tens of listens to fully grasp. Krighsu releases on March 18th so mark that day in your calendars as "get crushed day".
At this point, these guys are the undisputed masters of deathgrind. Hot off the heels of their newest EP, Termination Redux, this fearsome four-piece (following the loss of guitarist Danny Tunker to Alkaloid) is gearing up to conquer best-of lists yet another year. Their last album, The Necrotic Manifesto, was a gore-infused romp through the some of the best tunes this blazing fast, inhumanly brutal group has written so far, and, if Termination is anything to go by, their prowess and cohesion as a unit has only gotten better from there. Prepare for these dudes to melt your face off this coming year.
After the Burial were dealt a pretty heavy blow when their guitarist and friend Justin Lowe passed away in mid 2015. The band were very close, and he was essential to their team. A few months after his passing they revealed that before the unfortunate tragedy, they actually completed recording an album and would be releasing it in 2016. They have redoubled their touring efforts as well, as they wanted to carry on as they think he would have wanted them to. They've also gone with a more natural approach with this album using live drums and analog guitars instead of simulation. The single they released so far, "Lost in the Static" is more of a chugger than a shredder, but the band have a tendency of putting out their live crowd-pleaser songs out first and then following up with an album full of diversity, so there is no need to worry yet. The sound is much better as well, so their recording approach has done well for them. It will be interesting to see where they will go with this album and beyond that now.
In 2012, Ancestors released In Dreams and Time, one of my all time favorite albums. It's this blessed mix of stoner, doom and melodic metal, utilizing tools from all three genres to create an album whose scope is on a whole different level. The band have been silent since then but lately have started posting images from the writing and recording process. One can only hope that something actual comes from that in 2016 because I want, nay NEED, new material from them. Please.
Arms of Tripoli
This LA instrumental post-rock group continues to be a sleeper favorite among the more post-inclined of us on staff. Their debut album, Dream In Tongues, was a masterclass in blending jazz-infused post-rock sounds from the likes of Tortoise and Do Make Say Think with more cerebral mathy grooves, all wrapped up in California sunniness. The band posted a photo to their Facebook page back in October of them tracking the new album, so it's very likely we'll see new music from them sometime this year.
Black Crown Initiate
2014 was a stellar year for progressive death metallers Black Crown Initiate, wherein they were unanimously agreed upon to be the year's best and most promising new band upon the release of their punishingly heavy debut album The Wreckage of Stars. Between the crushing riffs, massive choruses, and technical songwriting, the band delivered in spades on the record, and also made quite a name for themselves with the ensuing relentless touring. I'm firmly of the opinion that BCI can do no wrong, given that their one-and-a-half releases (preceding EP Song of the Crippled Bull stands as one of my favourite musical pieces of all time) are practically flawless, and I'm certain I'm not the only one who cannot wait to see how they will outdo themselves on their second LP.
Corelia
Can we please have this album already? It seems like it was ages ago (because it was) that Corelia released any new material. For one of the most original names in melodic/progressive metalcore, that's a damn shame. The genre needs their voice, a possible boost of originality. The band already hinted towards a release in 2015 but that obviously didn't happen. Once more details surface of a possible 2016 release we'll be all over it but for now all we have is our hope. Don't let us down dudes.
The fact that the masters of aural chaos are working on new material is enough in itself to send chills down one's spine, given that there's never any guessing what kind of new ground they may tread. All we know is that given the veterans' track record, the end result is bound to be an impossibly sharp, unpredictable, and occasionally terrifying listen, hopefully peppered with their now-signature jazz moments to boot.
The Toronto jazz-inflected post-rock enclave, like Tortoise, have been relatively quiet since 2009 when their last album, Other Truths, was released. Other Truths was definitely not the band's best work, but their absence can be felt, even as countless other bands attempt to occupy the sonic territory that DMST tread so well through the 2000s. Ringleader Justin Small has been busy with multiple other projects in the interim, but he's been teasing news and progress on LP7 at times this past year. No firm release plans have been announced, but a 2016 release seems well within the realm of possibility.
East of the Wall
There is just an obscene amount of talent and diversity running through NJ progressive group East of the Wall, which can explain why their sound can be so difficult to pin down. It's a sound that is undeniably their own though, and it's one that's been sorely missed the release of their 2013 album Redaction Artifacts. The band have been posting sporadic pre-production updates through the fall and seem likely to at least be recording early this year. Hopefully we can expect new music second half of the year.
Ever Forthright
It would only make sense of Ever Forthright to return next year; alongside SikTh, they were one of the originators of the "djent" sub-genre and perhaps one of the best and most refreshing instances of it. With Nicholas Llerandi successfully releasing his amazing Stimpy Lockjaw album in 2014, the stars are right for new Ever Forthright. If they can pull off the sort of comeback that SikTh did this year, we might be forced to declare djent alive again. That's probably too much butt his album can still kick some major ass and we can't wait for it.
These guys are a bit divisive around here, and it's easy to see why: The Flesh Prevails, 2014's follow-up to the excellent first LP The Harvest Wombs, was a bit of a mess. The production was sloppy, the "wall of noise" aspect didn't fit their genre, and the whole atmospheric component was a bit played out and forced that time around, as opposed to the natural, organic feel it had on the first album. It's going to be interesting to see how this new release handles those aspects, seeing as the band has decided to go in a "more melodic and less technical" direction. At the very least, the production that hampered The Flesh Prevails is no more, and hopefully the band has learned from their mistakes. I, for one, am keeping a close eye on Fallujah to see if they'll get back on track after their misstep and put out a worthy followup to The Harvest Wombs.
God of Atheists
Formed in 2008, God of Atheists is one supergroup truly deserving of such a title. Founded by guitarist Asgeir Mickelson (Spiral Architect, Borknagar), he is joined by Carl August Tidemann on lead guitar (Arcturus), ICS Vortex on vocals (Dimmu Borgir, Arcturus, Borknagar), Vibeke Stene as the soprano vocalist (Tristania), Trym Torson on drums (Enslaved, Emperor, Zyklon), Lars K. Norberg on bass (Spiral Architect), Sareeta on violin (Solefald) and the legendary Ihsahn on keyboards (Emperor, Ihsahn). The band have started to become somewhat of a Tool-like running joke within metal circles, having featured in such lists for the last several years without any concrete news on when their debut will finally be released. They've been tentatively stating it will be ready next year since at least 2013, but if their Facebook page is anything to go by, they've almost finished recording and so 2016 may finally be the year! Slated as extreme metal, the one-minute teaser below indicates we're in for some atmospheric black metal with elements of folk and classical music, so here's hoping that our next piece on them is a review to their brilliant album, and not their inclusion on anticipated albums of 2017.
Originally slated for release in 2015, Gojira fans worldwide collectively groaned when the band announced their sixth release would be delayed until early 2016. Yet, there was a silver lining to be found in their reasoning, one which will make fans very excited for their follow-up to the brilliant L'Enfant Sauvage. The first reason was that the Duplantier brothers spent significant amounts of time designing and building Silver Cord, their very own recording studio in New York which, hopefully, will lead to an even better sounding record from a production point of view. The second reason was even more exciting. According to drummer Mario Duplantier, they usually write their ten songs and then record them for the album; job done. This time, the band have become much more selective as they've spent more time than ever crafting each song, sometimes throwing away entire tracks to start from scratch and deliver something better. Whilst Australia's Gojira Sanzu helped sate our desires in 2015, there is only one Gojira, and one can only hope their sharpened focus on songwriting will yield a stellar release, one full of the monstrous grooves and explosive drumming we've come to expect.
If These Trees Could Talk
This one has been a long time coming. We were actually anticipating LP3 from the Ohio-based moody post-metal group to arrive sometime in 2015, but the year passed and no release, so we are now eagerly awaiting official release news for this year. As of November, the band posted that they were in the mixing phase, so all signs point to new music either late winter or early spring. In the meantime, go back and listen to Metal Blade's re-issues of their first two albums, Above the Earth, Below the Sky and Red Forest!
I'll be honest with you; Red Fang's latest album didn't really catch my ear. However, the first two albums were so good that I still save a fair amount of grace for these guys. I'm excited to see if they can recapture the energy, attitude and sound that made Murder the Mountains such a joy to listen to. Only time will tell but I hope that the lessons of yesteryear were well learned and implemented and that we'll get an album digging back into their past, bringing groove and intelligence back into the riffs rather than a nonstop chugging machine without real variation. That's what made Red Fang great and can make them so again: deceptively simple and massive riffs that hide plenty of variation and interest below their surface.
A Sense of Gravity
If there's any band that can be called a "blog favorite", it's these guys. The Seattle based band smashed all our expectations with their phenomenal, 2014 Travail, blending progressive metal, death, djent, 70's progressive and so much more into one compelling, perfectly executed package. Recording and writing for this album are well under way and while we haven't heard any snippets yet (guys, come on) we are more than convinced that it will be another trend setter, building on the firm, progressive grounds of their debut release. Expect this album to continue the strong trend of the past few years back towards progressive metal, bringing you complex, epic and yet somehow accessible melodies.
Swans have always released quality albums, but something about their post-reformation output truly feels as though Gira had celestial aspirations when he got the band back together. With The Seer and To Be Kind receiving well-deserved critical acclaim and introducing a new generation of listeners to one of music's greatest bands, it was bittersweet to hear Gira announce that the next Swans record would be the last with this iteration of the band. Then again, that announcement included news of a new Swans record, which is still fantastic news in its own right. The band has clear, distinctive periods/sounds within their discography, so it will be interesting to hear what the closing act in this apocalyptic quartet (which includes the aforementioned two records and My Father Will Guide Me Up a Rope to the Sky) will have to offer.
This name should be familiar to regulars of the blog: we've been pouring endless praise on these guys ever since their album came out in 2014. And with good reason, seeing as they're one of the most refreshing bands to come out of this new wave of post-metal we are experiencing. The band have been touring non-stop but are now planning to give us new material in 2016 and we couldn't be more excited: expect depthless riffs, churning drums and an overall heady, musty and downright oppressive feel. If this comes out as good as the last one, it should be the instrumental release of the year.
We NEED this album. It's been coming for so long, with teasers, postponements and announcements all over the place. Point in fact, Februus is one of the best albums to emerge from the "djent" sub-scene if not the best. Its dark, brooding nature was an immediate refreshment and has since left us hungry for more. It was so long ago; we're well overdue for our fix. If the teasers and studio reports are anything to go by then we should get this album soon, early next year. About time if you ask us, we can't wait.
Weekend Nachos
According to the Weekend Nachos' twitter, a new record is underway and is expected to have a mid to late 2016 release date. Along with Magrudergrind's new record, the release of a new Weekend Nacho's record would make for a wonderfully blast beat, breakdown filled 2016, sure to inspire mass moshing and spin kicks everywhere.
Zenith Passage
This has been a long time coming, for sure. Cosmic Dissonance, the 2013 EP from this Bay-area techdeath group, was the product of masterminds Justin McKinney (now also of The Faceless) and Greg Hampton, displayed a fresh, spacy, and captivating take on technical death metal, and this follow-up has been in the works for quite some time now. Having seen them play two of the songs from this upcoming album live, "The Luminary Singularity" and "Simulated Reality" live, I can promise that these guys are sure to deliver, especially with a couple more years of writing and playing experience under their belts.
65daysofstatic
The British post-rock quartet have proven to be one of the most adept at blending EDM and trance with electrifying post-rock, particularly in the past 6 or so years as they've moved much more towards more dark electronics. Their previous album, 2013's Wild Light, took a long time to grow on me because of that, especially since We Were Exploding Anyway is one of my all-time favorites. Looking at it now though, it's a hugely successful and more subtle piece of work, one that the band may be intent to explore further for their next album, which has not been announced or teased yet but may very possibly be coming this year as the band wrap up their recent tour with Deftones.
Cobalt faced a slight set back after the release of their phenomenal 2009 album, Gin, but 2016 may just be the year the band finally releases their long teased new album, Slow Forever. The album will feature Charlie Fell (Nachmystium/Lord Mantis) taking over vocal duties for Phil McSorely who was booted from the band as a result of unsavory comments. Long time drummer/songwriter for the band, Erik Wunder, hinted at a 2016 release date, and hopefully this ends up holding true.
At this point, it seems cruel for Converge not to release any new material in 2016. After teaser after teaser (that always ends up being something to do with live shows/live releases), as well as it being 4 years since the phenomenal All We Love We Leave Behind, the entire hardcore and metal scene is thick with anticipation over this release. Not to mention every member except vocalist Jacob Bannon stating that new material was being written, it just seems right to release a new record in 2016. Please don't let the world down, Converge. Please don't make us wait any longer.
I know, I know, there's not even a rumor about this yet but come on. It's been almost three years since the brilliant Asymmetry and it's time for us to get a new Karnivool album. These guys have been at the spearhead of Australian progressive music for years now, leading the charge with their dark, emotional and progressive metal. The shift between the critically acclaimed Sound Awake and their latest album makes us wonder: who are Karnivool now? Are they the acoustic versions they seem so fond of playing? Are they the more complex iteration of their last release or the more straightforward, in your face version of Sound Awake? All of the above? We can only speculate what the future will bring but it's high time we heard new music from Karnivool. The very thought excites us.

Anciients… Their new disc should hit for sure. They were wrapping up recording a couple weeks ago per their facebook page.

Meshuggah is pretty safe for 2016 I think. They wanted to start recording early 2016.
The debut by Toothgrinder comes early February.
New Gorguts is also coming. And I think Decrepit Birth and Ulcerate were also in the making.

Cobalt is not speculation. That's a done deal. Most recent issue of Decibel confirmed this.
I'd love to see a new Karnivool album, back to the sound awake days. I could not get into asymmetry at all.

The Flesh Prevails was a misstep? What? It was one of my favorite albums of 2014!
iamspoonbender January 5, 2016 Reply
I agree completely. Also, adding that the production, and recording was poor, and sloppy ? Did he listen to the same album as us ? It doesn't get any cleaner, or more machine perfect than this. I found 'Flesh' to be a logical follow up to 'Wombs'.
karlo January 7, 2016 Reply
I found that i enjoyed the flesh prevails most on first listen, with my appreciation for it actually dropping with each relisten, which is the complete opposite to how i felt with the harvest wombs. I feel like the 'metal' side of their sound was of a lower quality than previously, whilst i agree with the writer that the atmospherics seemed a bit overdone/forced. If they can improve in those areas then their next one is sure to be a belter, because we all know they're super talented

Music producer/artist Jacob Hoskins hails from Vancouver, Canada. He has recently released a dope track titled "Where I'm From". On the vocals, it features fellow Canadian rap collective Rejected Kings (Declan.wav & Thurston III) in verse one and verse two respectfully.
Jacob considers himself an electronic music producer, though, judging from the sound of this latest single, he can definitely produce within multiple genres. This is probably due to the fact that Jacob has been working with music since he was young, and started producing in middle school using FL Studios.
Jacob Hoskins is also the founder of Sound For The Future music group, so you can definitely expect to hear/see more from him in the future. Until then, be sure to follow him on his social networks and click the play button below to listen to "Where I'm From" Ft. Rejected Kings and check out his debut project "CHAPTER IV" that's available now!

The history of the Museum of Aquitaine
Museum building
The Museum of Aquitaine in its current form was officially created in 1963 by museologist Georges-Henri Rivière, who was tasked with reorganising France's museums of history, archaeology and ethnology after the war. The museum initially shared the city's Museum of Fine Arts building, occupying its north wing. In 1970, the decision was taken to move the museum to the former University of Bordeaux Faculty of Arts and Sciences on Cours Pasteur, constructed at the end of the nineteenth century by local architect Pierre-Charles Durand, on the site of the Feuillant convent where philosopher Michel de Montaigne was buried in 1592.
The museum set about legally acquiring the premises, undertaking renovation work between 1982 and 1986, and the new museum opened its doors to the public on January 1987.
The museum is the result of the merger of several public collections built up by the city since the sixteenth century. In 1963, collections from other museums in Bordeaux were brought together at the Musée Lapidaire, which was then renamed the Museum of Aquitaine.
Today, the museum boasts over 1.3 million pieces, illustrating the history of Bordeaux and the local region from prehistory to the twentieth century. Prestigious collections of regional and extra-European archaeology, history and ethnography retrace the lives of the Aquitaine people and their relationship with the rest of the world.
Ship owners, sailors, missionaries, explorers and doctors all brought back objects from Africa, Oceania and the Americas to Bordeaux: the museum's extra-European collection comprises 5000 different pieces.
One of the most celebrated humanists, Michel de Montaigne, who published his Essais in 1580, is buried in the chapel of the Feuillant convent upon which the Museum of Aquitaine would later be constructed. The major masterpiece of the museum is the cenotaph of Michel de Montaigne.
The museum holds a large number of masterpieces that are regularly requested for loan by other institutions in both France and abroad. These include a stunning Gallic gold torc, discovered by a ploughman in the commune of Tayac in 1893; a portrait of Cardinal François de Sourdis sculpted by Bernini in approximately 1620, which almost certainly came from the cloister of Bordeaux's Church of Saint-Bruno; and an extraordinary wicker and bark mask statue from Vanuatu, acquired in 1884 and thought to be the only one of its kind in the world.

If there is an overriding theme to Eric Hutchinson's career, it is his relentless pursuit of the kind of feel-good music that makes his fans dance and sing while pondering the beauty and humor that comes from fully experiencing life. This journey had come to a crossroads this past year, as the 35 year-old singer/songwriter/performer stripped down his sound, embraced the role of producer, and spent months working on his fourth studio album, Easy Street.
A collection of penetratingly honest songs, Easy Street is a musical snapshot of perseverance and musical maturity brimming with superb melodies and contagious rhythms.
Having had major sales and radio success, touring the world as a headliner as well as with acts such as Kelly Clarkson, Jason Mraz, and OneRepublic Eric has positioned himself to thrive in the music industry's ever-evolving paradigm. The fiercely independent spirit in which Easy Street came to be has set Eric on a path toward building a devoted audience that he will continually serve with exciting new music and visual content.

Case Study: Ensuring Continued Funding For Care Following A Brain Injury
How a community care solicitor in Eastbourne, helped Lisa, a woman whose brother had acquired a brain injury from a teenage motorbike accident, fight for Continuing Healthcare for her brother.
Lisa came to see Caroline Philcox regarding her brother, Ben. Ben was involved in a motor bike accident many years ago and he had always been looked after by their parents. After both parents died, 20 years after his accident, Ben moved to a specialist ABI (Acquired Brain Injury) care home that was in a different area of the country to his parental home.
The funding arrangements were shared between Ben's home area Social Services and the NHS in the new area where Ben now lived.
Lisa first came to us because she had a letter from the home saying that there were care fee arrears of £20,000. Apparently, the NHS had stopped paying their share of the care home fees. This was the first Lisa had heard of it. She had been present at the NHS CHC review but her understanding was that funding would continue. Now the family was faced with bills of over £20,000. Ben had no money to pay the care fees or the arrears; Lisa could not afford to pay this for her brother; and so reluctantly the care home served Notice. Ben was faced with the threat of having to move from a care home placement that he loved and where he was very well looked after.
What Martin Searle Solicitors did
Caroline saw from the correspondence that there had been notification that the NHS funding would change. We explained to Lisa that regardless of this if the CCG (Clinical Commissioning Group) reduced their share of the funding then Social Services needed to make up the balance. The difficulty was of course that the family and Caroline were dealing with two public bodies, both of which simply passed the buck to the other. However, Caroline persuaded the Local Authority that the principle responsibility was theirs and that they should pay the fees in full and then negotiate themselves with the NHS CCG. Caroline explained that it wasn't her client's responsibility to be dealing with the alleged debt as the funding was a matter for Health & Social Services to resolve with the care home and not for Lisa.
As a result of the correspondence and negotiations, the Social Services agreed to settle the care home bill and to continue payments going forward. They agreed they would then have talks with the NHS and negotiate with them on the split of funding between Social Services and the National Health Service. The care home withdrew the Notice they had sent to Ben. Ben's care home placement was saved for him and he and his family did not need to worry about how to find a new specialist placement.
