A history of Vines in the Andes, is Passiflora alnifolia one or 15 species?
The genus Passiflora is a fascinating group of mostly tropical vines that encompasses a broad range of diversity in both floral and leaf morphological features. In the tropical Andes of Colombia and Ecuador, several Passiflora species, including P. alnifolia, P. chelidonea, P. tribolophylla and P. andreana, share highly similar morphology and distribution, have diffuse species limits, and are currently treated as a species complex. Our goal was to determine patterns of genetic structure in the group, clarify how many lineages make up the "alnifolia complex," and to understand how these lineages correspond to the taxonomy of the group. We sampled leaf tissue from 55 herbarium specimens corresponding to 14 taxonomic names at the Missouri Botanical Garden, including multiple accessions per species. We used a high-throughput DNA sequencing technique called 2b-RAD-seq to sequence a large number of DNA characters from throughout the genome of each accession. The resulting data was processed using Ipyrad and resulted in a data set of 231,600 characters, 1828 loci, 4779 variant sites and 1794 parsimony-informative sites. We reconstructed the phylogeny using RAxML and Tetrad, analyzed genetic structure using STRUCTURE, Treemix and PCA, and analyzed these results in the context of both geography and morphology. We found that samples identified as P. alnifolia, P. chelidonea, P. tribolophylla and P. andreana did not form monophyletic groups, such that the current delimitation of species in the alnifolia complex does not correspond to phylogenetic relationships or patterns of genetic structure. Results of STRUCTURE and phylogenetic analyses were concordant and identified four lineages: 1) one group found in higher elevations on the east side of the Ecuadorian Andes, ) one group found in higher elevations on the west side of the Ecuadorian Andes, 3) one lower elevation group found east of Ecuadorian Andes, and, 4) one clade that occurs on the northern limit of the distribution of the group, corresponding to, P. kalbreyeri. Our analyses also showed strong evidence of gene flow and hybridization among these lineages, especially in the Colombian Andes. Surprisingly, we also found areas where different lineages co-occured but no found gene flow among them. We propose a new delimitation for P. alnifolia, P. chelidonea, P. tribolophylla and P. andreana based on geography and genetic analysis; further analysis of morphology is necessary to identify whether individuals in this group share any characteristics that can be used to differentiate them.

Stir-fries can be many things. An easy clean out your fridge dinner, a healthy meal after an all you can eat holiday, a quick dinner on a busy evening or as simple or complicated as you choose to make it. This Chicken Noodle Stir-Fry is a quick dinner on a busy night in our house. You could make this meal every day of the week changing up your proteins, veggies, carbs and flavour add ins and never have the same meal. I definitely need to stir fry more.
I tend to learn towards chow mein noodles or rice when I stir fry, however this time while browsing the International aisle in the grocery store, egg noodles called my name. So I called back and they came home with me. Get the whole family involved in chopping and dinner is ready in no time at all.

UKIP latest: Britain's angriest man quits leadership race
The US presidential race is on a knife-edge. The FBI has revived Trump's campaign. Meanwhile, Russia prepares to slaughter the poor people of Aleppo while the world looks away, providing the proof that President Obama's anti-intervention, lead from behind, foreign policy has turned out to be a disaster.
But forget all that for a moment. What really matters today in Britain is the UKIP leadership election, again. Raheem Kassam, apprentice wearer of covert coats, the party's trainee Nigel Farage, and three-time winner of the UKIP-sponsored Britain's angriest man contest, is quitting the race to succeed Farage. It now becomes a fight mainly between Paul "it's the only language they understand" Nuttall and Suzanne Evans, a former journalist who has been dubbed "centrist", which in UKIP is the ultimate insult. But the next leader will not be Raheem.
He said in a statement: "I realised the path to victory is too narrow." As Marina Hyde of the Guardian put it, that phrase "the path to victory is too narrow" is a fashionable euphemism for any number of more unspeakable truths. Imagine it used at crucial historical junctures.
"Mein Fuhrer, Berlin is surrounded. Obergruppenführer Steiner and his Waffen-SS are not going to launch a counter attack. And what is left of the Ninth Army south of the capital is a shell, a mirage, a lost army. It will not be able to stop the Russians."
Hitler (sighing): "You're right. The path to victory is too narrow."
Here's Kassam statement in full:

"After much consideration, I have decided not to pursue my campaign to be UKIP leader any further. This was a very difficult decision, and I want to thank everyone who supported me in the process.
It is a decision I have not taken lightly, but following meetings this weekend I realised the path to victory is too narrow. I would encourage my supporters to back Peter Whittle, who I think would make a fantastic leader of the party.
On their own, the following issues would not have caused me to take this decision, but taken together, the following reasons created an impossible route forward for me:
1. The top of the party is treating this like a coronation: I am not satisfied about the integrity of the process, and having put a number of complaints in to the party chairman, I was disappointed that incidents whereby Members of the European Parliament are using party databases to effectively campaign against me – ostensibly against the rules – were not challenged.
2. Disgraceful treatment by the media: I am tough and I can take it, but when Times journalists show up at my elderly parents' house at dusk, intimidating them, I draw the line. Billy Kenber at the Times has a lot to answer for and I will be pursuing a harassment complaint further.
3. Fundraising: While we raised enough for our deposit, and got over 200 assentors to my nomination, we could not raise enough for this to be more than a digital campaign run from SW1, and to not feature at events all around the country would have made me a hypocrite, given how much I criticise the establishment for ignoring the country.
Over the next few weeks I will be providing a statement of accounts for all my donors, and in-keeping with my money pledge on my website, I will be giving them the choice as to what happens with the remainder of the money they donated. I will suggest we either: donate to the Royal British Legion or Help for Heroes, donate to the party, donate to Peter Whittle's campaign. Those who want refunds are welcome to contact me.
I wish the UK Independence Party and whoever its new leader is all the best in ensuring Brexit happens, and in the upcoming electoral tests next year. I remain commited to the causes of the UK Independence Party, but sadly, at this campaign, it was a bridge too far for us.
I will be continuing at my job as Editor in Chief of Breitbart London, returning to the United States this week to cover the last leg of the presidential elections.
Note also that Kassam complains about disgraceful treatment by the media. This is a man who works for Breitbart, who tweeted that Nicola Sturgeon should be taped up to prevent her speaking or reproducing. He later deleted the tweet and apologised. Which is something.
When 2016 is over (and no, there have been far, far worse years in human history) it will be worth academics reflecting on the role of angry men, here and in the US. Anger is such a driving force now. We all get angry from time to time, but for millions of male voters it seems to be the driving force in response to confusing and powerful forces of economic and cultural dislocation. That applies to angry Remainers too who either call their fellow-Britons stupid, or say they were lied to, which means calling them gullible, which is essentially the same as calling them stupid.
Still, the low comedy of the UKIP leadership race provides a focus for healing. It is something most Leavers and Remainers can enjoy.

Passive Ability: You can drop a "cooked" bomb at any time by holding down the button before releasing. Catch your opponents off guard, and make sure to get out of the way quickly!
Active Ability: The name says it all. Throw up to three bombs ahead of you, as long as nothing's blocking the way. This gives you a lot more reach and firepower.
Passive Ability: Right off the bat, you run a lot faster than everyone else. However, your overall maximum speed (e.g. from items you pick up) reaches its limit quite quickly.
Active Ability: For a few seconds, you'll sprint even faster to run circles around your opponents. But during this time, you can only drop one bomb, so aim carefully.
Passive Ability: Don't like where a bomb is? Give it a good kick, ideally right into the path of your opponent.
Active Ability: If one kick wasn't enough, now you can pull off a spin kick that knocks away all bombs in your immediate vicinity.
Passive Ability: You start off slower than everyone else, but you also are immune to your own bombs' flames.

What I Listened To When I Listened To Music This Week – Hamilton Leithauser – Black Hours
As Fleetwood Mac sang, "you can go your own way, (go your own way-e-yay) you can call it another lonely day" but were they right to sing that? How easy is is to actually go your own way after all is said and done?
Music is littered with people who played in bands and then went solo. With, shall we say mixed results? For every George Michael who stepped up from a very awful band, to just a pretty awful solo career, there is a Feargal Sharkey, who left The Undertones and wrote A Good Heart, a song even Wham! would be a tad ashamed of.
There is also of course, a lot of people who were in great bands and released great solo albums. Lou Reed left The Velvet Underground and wrote the utterly brilliant album Transformer, David Byrne continues to wow under various guises even though he left Talking Heads behind some time ago, and Bjork is now certainly more well known than she ever was as a member of the Sugar Cubes.
Whilst those examples might seem a while back, with upcoming releases from Jack White, Bob Mould and apparently Harry Styles on the way and the likes of Hamilton Leithauser and Conor Oberst leaving cult indie hitmakers behind for a life on their own. Maybe going your own way in 2014 is still a brilliant idea, and if none of those float your boat, Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance has signed to Warner, maybe there is a solo artist for every set of ears, after all.
HAMILTON LEITHAUSER – BLACK HOURS
In November last year, there was much weeping and a'hollering here at For The Rabbits at the news that much loved New Yorkers, The Walkmen were going on a dreaded "indefinite hiatus" or as they actually put it, an extreme hiatus. It seemed odd timing in many ways; their career had long been in the shadow of the all encompassing single, The Rat, however many years had passed since then, and the band had released a string of stunning albums. You & Me, Lisbon and what, for the time being at least, would turn out to be there final album, Heaven. They were finally getting brilliant reviews without everyone feeling the need to compare every track to a certain rodent.
Looking at the statement put out by bass player, and organist Peter Bauer, the reasons became a bit more clear. The Walkmen were no longer a gang, as they put it "it's not archetypal rock band where everyone lives in an apartment", they were living in different cities, they all had their own priorities and three of them were already working on solo recordings. Peter Matthew Bauer's debut solo album Liberation is out on June 23rd. Multi-instrumentalist, Walter Martin released a delightful album of songs for children, entitled We're All Young Together featuring Karen O, Matt Berninger and even The Walkmen's own Hamilton Leithauser.
It is inevitably with Hamilton Leithauser though, that the most expectation lays. It is inevitable really that singers garner the majority of the attention, they are of course blessed, or perhaps cursed of the one unchangeable sound a band possesses. A guitarist can buy a new guitar, fiddle with the settings, and do whatever he wants to get away from the sound that made him famous, a singer though possesses just one voice. For all the studio trickery available, you will never quite step away without sounding a bit like your past, especially if your vocal has all the stunningly unique qualities Hamilton possesses.
Whilst Hamilton's voice remains inescapably his own, with the first single from this, his debut solo album, musically it is clear he is moving on. Alexandra is a deliriously, messy affair, out of the context of the album it was a little bit too much to take in. All blaring harmonicas and deranged marimbas, it has the feel of a runaway mine train, yet somehow stays on track and makes for a really quite delightful ride. Whilst the harmonica blast, recalls Bob Dylan as Hamilton often does, the presence of collaborator Rostam Batmanglij doesn not go unnoticed, the track unquestionably recalls, the complex pop of Vampire Weekend, with whom Rostam completes his day job.
The album is, perhaps understandably, something of an eclectic affair. The inevitable result of a game of stick or twist plays out across the album. Part of him knows making a duplicate of The Walkmen's stunning output would keep his fanbase largely on side, part of him knows that long term he has to stamp his own blue-print onto his solo output if he's going to make a go of it. Remarkably it is a balancing act he pulls off, seemingly with ease.
Leithauser is arguably at his best when he strips back the layers. There are a couple of absolutely stunning piano ballads, he has all the poise of Sinatra, mixed with the world outlook of Tom Waits in the 70's. If Hamilton declared the piano had been drinking not him, you would not believe him anymore than you would Mr Waits himself. 5AM is all plodding piano, and some strings the right side of ominous. Lyrically, we find him questioning himself, "Do you wonder why I even sing these love songs, when I have no love at all?" The percussion, stomps out like a slow death march as Hamilton, goes all matter of fact on the person behind the song declaring "promises I never failed and never made" before, as the piano plays out, fittingly alone, he parts with the ominous declaration "they'll thank me in the end." St Mary's County is another delightfully boozy ballad, all heavy choppy piano chords, and his ability to make anything sound romantic remains as he croons "I know the way, but I'll ask you all the same" it's beautiful.
Elsewhere, he steps away from The Walkmen sound in a more unique fashion. The album is punctuated with some stunning percussion and the near omnipresence of marimba. The Silent Orchestra is wonderful; it starts of with the familiar bouncing guitar lilt that made The Walkmen famous, but via the aforementioned marimba it reaches into brave new territory. Lyrically he asks us to believe in him, stating "I'll hang my hat on the songs that I'm singing" his confidence is well deserved if you write songs as wonderful as this. The whole thing breaks down to a beautiful acapella section, his stunning voice holding the whole thing together, before bursting back into life via a marimba and drums combo as it comes back in, it's wonderful.
11 O'Clock Friday Night is delightfully playful, all marimba and good times, whilst I Retired, starts life as a Dylanish Country Stomper before collapsing to an odd croonerish outro, where the backing vocals shooby-doo-wop, before Hamilton leads them to a delightfully mob handed sing-along, it has got all the beautiful sense of brotherhood that's normally the bastion of Elbow. Leithauser leading the crowd with "As long as I can keep the engine running, then all my friends will never be alone" it is beautiful in the fashion of a 11pm swaying, stumble home.
Fans of Hamilton's previous output need look no further than the closing trio of tracks. I Don't Know Anyone pairs some superb drums, with reverb laden guitars and his trademark yelped vocals. Lyrically, too it is classic Hamilton talking of "a life I always loved until I met you" and then declaring "don't know why I need you, I don't need anyone, I'm the last man running" it is typically unsure where it stands, and even less sure where he should be standing. Bless Your Heart matches stunning drumming, with a lazy meandering guitar line. Latterly it goes all serious and fairly dark via the presence of atmospheric percussion and a low buzzing organ line. As the vocal wails, the guitar picks up the intensity, as it reaches a crescendo it is pretty breathtaking.
Like any of the great singers, he knows to save the best for last. Closing track The Smallest Splinter, is frankly wonderful. A rapid kick drum beat plays off against a spine-tingling guitar line, Hamilton declaring "I guess, I probably love you more than anyone" perhaps it was all the vagaries that left him hear, begging for his love to "show him the man who would have shown more, give me the lions share of your love" as the track plays out it become clear he could never win her whole heart, but still he wants her to "give me a kiss and tell me I'm alright" and questions whether there is "a man who never disappoints" The songs builds and builds, there are no lurches through the gears, just a stunning steady evolution to a thrilling finale, the guitar playing is fantastic, the drums perfectly judged, it's just a wonderful song.
The album as a whole is good, but what is even better is the future it hints at. Whilst the shadow of The Walkmen still hangs over this record, there is enough to suggest that in time he will step out of it. Hamilton Leithauser is a star in his own right, a compelling front man, a unique voice in the crowded industry, and an artist whos next move could well be something mind-blowing, whichever direction he steps in.
Black Hours is out now on Ribbon Music. Hamilton Leithauser plays The Green Man Festival in August.

Olo (Part 1)
Before we jump into Olo, it might be useful to have some context on the digital food economy - specifically, how consumers interact with and order from restaurants.
In this post, I've partnered with a new friend (Newmoon Capital on Twitter) who is an expert in the digital restaurant space. I highly recommend subscribing to his Substack [HERE]. Without further ado, please enjoy part 1 of a free series we are doing on Olo, "the Shopify Plus for restaurant chains".
"And the question is going to be how many of those restaurants have direct relationships versus marketplace relationships, which is, in my opinion, the greatest existential risks facing our industry, reminiscent of both the retail Nike versus Amazon, Disney versus Netflix, Four Seasons versus Expedia" - CEO Sweetgreen
Before we jump into Olo, it might be useful to have some context on the digital food economy - specifically, how consumers interact with and order from restaurants. Delivery is an integral part of the digital food economy, and without it everything is sort of meaningless. This is why it's important to understand the food delivery industry first.
From the way we see it, there are three distinct types of restaurants, and a fourth rising. We denote each of these types as a "Generation". Note that we are not using this to pass a value judgement. A Gen 1 operator is in no way worse than a Gen 2 operator. These labels are purely used to distinguish the way restaurants acquire, interact with, and deliver to their customers. Also, understand that there are two faces to the coin: there is both a Gen 2 operator and a Gen 2 platform. Also, a Gen 2 operator can also be a Gen 1 operator if the restaurant generates a substantial amount of demand from its own website or phone.
Generation 1: Dominos
Gen 1 restaurants are restaurants that own their own demand pool (app, website, phone) and couriers. Domino's is the best example of a Gen 1 operator: they acquire customers through their own channels - their website or app - and then use their couriers to deliver the dough.
Restaurants that receive orders directly through the phone or their own websites can also be considered Gen 1 operators. Such restaurants are often optimized for delivery and receive tons of demand during peak hours, thus enabling them to batch orders. These are what we call marketplace restaurants.
Going off on a slight tangent here, lots of people have asked us why marketplace restaurants do not use logistics platforms for fulfillment. Isn't it cheaper and operationally simpler? The answer is... it depends, but generally no. For most marketplace restaurants, it actually is cheaper and easier to use your own couriers if you have high delivery demand. Some of these marketplace restaurants generate 30 delivery orders an hour, making it easy for them to batch orders. How much trouble is it for a courier to wait 5 to 10 minutes to have 4 orders ready to deliver in a single run? Not much trouble at all. The average logistics restaurant might only receive 2 or 3 orders an hour, which makes it hard to batch without compromising on quality. Furthermore, these to-go orders often compete with the more profitable dine-in orders for capacity for the average restaurant, but not for the delivery-one restaurant. Food for thought: why doesn't Domino's use 3rd party delivery services for delivery?
Generation 2: Just Eat and Takeaway
On to Gen 2 - marketplace platforms and their dependent restaurants (internet marketplace restaurants). With the advent of the internet, it became infinitely easier to build a central database of marketplace restaurants. Platforms like Grubhub and Just Eat rushed in to consolidate and put restaurant menus online, greasing the wheels for consumers to order from them.
This resulted in Gen 2 restaurants that get their demand from a 3rd party platform like Grubhub, but use their own couriers for fulfillment. Like Gen 1 operators, most of these Gen 2 restaurants used to derive most of their demand from offline sources, but in this day and age, more and more of their orders are now coming from online.
You won't see restaurants like Nando's or Wagamama here since these restaurants do not have their own delivery fleet.
Generation 3: Deliveroo, Doordash, and Just Eat Takeaway
Gen 3 food delivery platforms were born from the rise of the smartphones and reliable GPS. To us, this was pioneered by Deliveroo's Will Shu, who discerned the market gap for higher end restaurants.
He noticed that rich London city boys were happy to fork out a premium for quality food delivered from Nando's and expensive steakhouses. But these restaurants did not have their own couriers as their demand for delivery was far too low hence the inability to order from them to begin with. Their demand was low as they served a relatively small market segment, and only for a few hours a day. What's more, these foods typically did not travel well.
In light of this, Will created an app that featured these high-end restaurants, and used Deliveroo's couriers for delivery. Individually, these restaurants did not have sufficient demand to justify hiring a courier, but as they say: there is strength in numbers. In this case, the unit cost of a courier could be lowered by pooling demand. Rich kids get their steaks, incremental profits for the restaurants, and everyone wins!
Gen 3 platforms, with their attendant delivery fleet, cater to restaurants that do not have their own couriers. In the same way, Gen 3 platforms did not have good product-market fit with Gen 1 and 2 restaurants, as those restaurants generated sizable delivery demand and could batch orders making owning couriers worthwhile (Domino's).
This new business model quickly proliferated across the globe. Uber Eats and Doordash in the US. Skipthedishes in Canada. Meituan in China.
Over time, this gave rise to what we call the Gen 3-B platforms. These are the hybrid platforms like Just Eat Takeaway. These platforms have the marketplace restaurants that do their own delivery, and non-marketplace restaurants that use Just Eat Takeaway's couriers. This allows consumers to access a wider selection of restaurants, resulting in even stronger network effect in regions with lots of marketplace restaurants.
The Risk
[This is where we will spend most of our time given its relevance to Olo]
As delivery became more prevalent (accelerated by Covid), chain restaurants that did not own their delivery network started to worry about disintermediation. The possibility that they were going to get "Amazon-ed" over time and forced to surrender an increasing piece of their profit to the platforms was real.
Food delivery platforms like Deliveroo and Doordash started launching dark kitchens, and sold ad space that effectively allowed other restaurants to buy up their online real estate (a local chicken shop can buy ad spaces and show up as the first result when customers typed "Nandos" on Deliveroo).
On the latter point, imagine a consumer who wants to buy a pair of Allbirds and searches "Allbirds'' on Amazon. The first thing that pops up is "Le Moutou'' a sponsored product that not only looks exactly like Allbirds, but is much cheaper to boot. Would you get it? Many, too many, would. In a way, not owning the distribution channel (i.e. being on a third-party food delivery platform) can generate negative demand as hungry customers that would have otherwise bought from the brand's restaurant get siphoned off, lowering marketing efficiency and weakening its control over its economic destiny. This might not be commonplace today, but it will come as delivery platforms increasingly become the top-of-mind destination for customer food orders.
There are also MANY benefits for a restaurant to own its own app. This includes being able to send highly personalized and targeted ads or promos to customers to drive demand, and embedding a loyalty program to drive frequency/retention. Think Starbucks.
In order to better position themselves, some of the more forward-thinking restaurants have already begun to embrace white label delivery. These are restaurants that generate demand through their own app and website but use a 3rd party delivery service for fulfillment. These are what we call the Gen 4 operators.
These are restaurants like Nando's, Chipotle, Shake Shack, and Burger King that incentivise customers to download and order from their app through cheaper menu prices, delivery fees, loyalty programs, and unique products on their app. However, they continue to offload the delivery to logistics providers like Deliveroo, Doordash, and Uber, allowing these Gen 4 operators to maintain their direct consumer relationship while benefiting from the logistics cost efficiencies of the Gen 3 logistics platforms. Vendors like Chipotle already drive 50% of their delivery demand organically through their app and that mix is growing as Chipotle continues to give consumers more reasons to use their app and customers churn from the 3P platform to its app over time.
While not a delivery vendor, Starbucks is a great example of an efficient Gen 4 operator. It generates almost all of its demand through its own app and retains customers via an attractive loyalty program. Once Starbucks embeds white label delivery onto its platform, you can expect it to generate virtually 100% of their delivery demand through their own app.
We bet you are thinking: well people don't want to use multiple apps! To that, we say, look at how many apps you have downloaded onto your phone? Also, 80% of your orders probably come from a very small number of restaurants. If you are ordering every other week from these restaurants, be it delivery or pickup, will you not use the app if you can get free food, promos, and collect loyalty points?
We'll take our rose-tinted glasses off now - being a Gen 4 operator comes with its own challenges. As these restaurants lean into digital, of which delivery is a critical element, operation becomes more complicated. Many of these restaurants operate with a disparate set of solutions from their point of sale systems, payment processing system, kitchen display systems, loyalty programs, reservation system, employee management system, and delivery vendors. Operations are extremely stressful as these restaurants have to attract consumers to their outlets, and then get through them efficiently to make a profit in their high fixed cost competitive industry. Operators must then rely on a battalion of high-churn staff (most part-time) that often do not have the time to learn the intricacies of the different products whilst handling the horde of very emotional customers that often arrive at the same time.
And now we've got to layer in digital? Workers must now manage their own POS and multiple tablets from all the delivery platforms. What if Burger King runs out of their Hershey Chocolate Pie or god forbid...pickles? That restaurant must then update the menu across its POS and all the tablets to prevent customers from ordering that item. What if you have a line of 20 people waiting to order and then get like 100 delivery orders? It is easy to turn away dine-in customers or control the demand of dine-in customers via a line. But if you so fortuitously receive 100 delivery orders... what would you do now? The way food delivery and digital orders are managed in the past no longer works at scale and a new way of operation is necessary.
Enter Olo.
In the next post (perhaps next week, perhaps later...we will see), we'll discuss how Olo helps restaurants straddle the on-premise and digital world, and allows restaurants to re-capture and better monetize their customer relationship. We'll also talk about how this might fundamentally change the way restaurants operate, turning them from a demand taker to a demand maker.
We'll also talk about how Olo is positioned relative to its competitors and what allows it to defend its market position. And how Olo might be a major threat to long term earnings potential of the food delivery platforms in the US and Canada. Lastly, we will talk about the financials, valuation, and our expectations.

For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read ° every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.
And he was seen many ° days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.

Vienna might be known as THE city of classical music. For sure it is. However, there is a long tradition of whatever is called contemporaneous music: Jazz, Funk, Soul, Blues, Folk, Klezmer, Ska, R`n Balkan etc. Pointless to list names of the relevant Viennese musicians….
The Porgy and Bess (after the Gershwin's opera) is mainly a Jazz Club but offers all of above mentioned music styles, and more.
This is a place for high quality music in a small club style atmosphere with food and good beer. Famous global musicians and bands perform here (again, pointless to list names). It often happened to me that an unplanned visit ended in an unforgettable musical experience.


Any idea where these collections might appear? I've been all over Gotham and I can't find any of these. When it say Zone: Gotham, does that mean it spawn anywhere in Gotham?
Forget it…lol I found their locations. I found all four in Gotham City Burnley by the Burnley Freight Yards and surrounding area.
Where might these be found, i've circled the freight yards hundreds of times and can't fond them.
You could always buy wolf den from the Auction thing.
I need a call back for questions about an Health Care Administration plan online. Please call me at 816-260-1506 or 816-921-4026.
Should really remove the link to that "screenshot" seeing as it doesn't work. Do they even spawn in Gotham's University? I've found two – on top of the Church like structures within the University Grounds but haven't found any others within that area.


Dungannon Swifts boss Rodney McAree has backed his players to bounce back from Saturday's opening Premiership defeat.
The Swifts started the new season with a narrow 1-0 defeat to Glentoran at The Oval.
Ciaran Caldwell's 73rd-minute goal separated the sides following a disjointed clash on Mersey Street.
McAree is hoping his Swifts can get their season on track with victory over newly-promoted Ards on Wednesday night, but insists he is under no illusions how tough a test lies in wait at Stangmore Park.
"Ards will look at Wednesday's game as an opportunity to get at Dungannon Swifts," McAree said.
"They will certainly fancy their chances after picking up a good point against Cliftonville on Saturday.
"So we know how tough it will be, but it is one that we will approach in a positive fashion and try and kick-start our season.
"I was reasonably happy with Saturday's display against Glentoran, and there are things we can build on.
Last season Dungannon picked up just eight points from their opening 13 games – a woeful return that McAree hopes to avoid this term.
"We don't want a repeat of last season's start, but I think we are better equipped to avoid that kind of scenario," the Swifts boss added.
"We lost our opening game last season against Carrick at Stangmore Park, and we were absolutely abysmal.
