Creeping in Reptile Flesh Reprint
Posted on Monday, April 11, 2011 by Robert Hood
It was announced today that Morrigan Books — "Specialists in Dark Fiction" — are re-printing my 2009 collection, Creeping in Reptile Flesh, as part of their e-book series, for the international market. The distribution for the first edition was somewhat limited, so I'm hoping this will widen its impact somewhat.
You can read the announcement on Morrigan's news site.
I'm biased, of course, but I think this is an excellent collection. The stories were chosen according to the way they reflected on a number of related thematic threads that for me are encapsulated in the title — a quotation from the work of my favourite poet, mystical visionary, William Blake:
Ah weak & wide astray! Ah shut in narrow doleful form
Creeping in reptile flesh upon the bosom of the ground
The Eye of Man a little narrow orb closd up & dark
Scarcely beholding the great light conversing with the Void
The Ear, a little shell in small volutions shutting out
All melodies & comprehending only Discord and Harmony
The Tongue a little moisture fills, a little food it cloys
A little sound it utters & its cries are faintly heard
From William Blake's "prophetic" poem Milton (1840)
The title story — a 20,000 word supernatural thriller — is a personal favourite, though some people have been put off by its political orientation and other oddities.
Soon there may be an announcement of a special bonus feature that will come with the new edition. We're working on that. Stay tuned. At any rate, if you're one of the many millions who didn't grab a copy of the first edition — or a Hood completist — don't forget to order a copy.
Meanwhile you can read more about the book in its original incarnation here.
Critical comments on the first edition:
Robert Hood has been writing chilling, sickening, funny and thoughtful horror for longer than he cares to remember. Creeping in Reptile Flesh brings together some of the best from his twistedly evil mind including three previously unpublished works.
Robert's writing has many shades. His heroes are often people just like you and me. Beset by the horrid and supernatural, they rise to the challenge or sink beneath the slime. Whatever happens, there's humanity there, the best of us and the worst of us on show… There are many types of horror here to suit many tastes and all of them will please the discerning reader who enjoys good tales told well.
Keith Stevenson in Aurealis #43.
Simply a class act from the artwork to the stories contained within its pages. A must-have addition to any horror fan's bookcase, it will have you wanting to check out more Robert Hood material.
Jeff Ritchie — review on ScaryMinds website
An impressive, very personal and thematically cohesive collection of stories from horror writer, Robert Hood, and nicely laid out by Cat Sparks. Creeping shows the significant contribution Robert has made to the Australian horror genre.
13th Annual Aurealis Awards: Best Anthology/Collection Category Judges' Report
Hood's collection Creeping in Reptile Flesh (Altair Australia Books) was the finest Aussie collection released in 2008. Although the book's distribution is limited, it contains several of Hood's best stories and spans two decades of his career.

Here's a reprint of my review of the collection which originally appeared in dead Reckonings journal. Review now at Amazon.com
5.0 out of 5 stars Humour and horror in rewarding and unusual collection October 27, 2012
By lvxnox
Format:Kindle EditionRobert Hood is one of Australia's most consistent and prolific horror writers. He is author of the novel Backstreets (1999), the four-volume young adult horror series Shades (2001) and two previous collections of horror and weird stories, Daydreaming on Company Time (1988) and Immaterial: Ghost Stories (2002).
This new collection presents fourteen tales – loosely unified by themes of ferality, bodily invasion or transference, and fertility – eleven of which are reprints from little-seen sources, and three of which, including the long title novella, are first published here. "Creeping in Reptile Flesh" (whose title derives from a phrase in William Blake's prophetic poem "Milton") is a very strange story mixing dead people, maverick Australian politicians, an odd township called Mytabin and a predatory alien species – a combination which Hood pulls off adeptly, interweaving several different storylines. It is reminiscent in places of some of Ramsey Campbell's uneasiest moments, mixed with a delight in grue perhaps arising from Hood's interest in the zombie flick.
Dipping into the rest of this collection, with its unapologetically Australian settings and vernacular, is akin to stepping into the mysterious fathomless lake of the second story, "The Black Lake's Fatal Blood", wherein an old `dero' named Rambler and his dog Sheepdip save the world from the tentacled monsters of an interdimensional causeway which sweeps them up after they witness a double murder in an old house they are `squatting' in. Derelicts feature again in "Dreams of Death", in which female investigator Andy Wolfe is hired to investigate a number of murders dreamed – or committed? — by a man called `Archibald Fountain'. Hood in Chandleresque mode (with a touch of Borges' "Death and the Compass") here produces what could be termed a metaphysical detective story. Things are skewed and rapidly spiral out of control in many of Hood's stories. In "Rotting Eggplant on the Bottom Shelf of a Fridge", cues from Hawkwind songs relate curiously to an epidemic of crumbling buildings across Sydney, and the horror is mingled in equal portions with Hood's quirky, twisted humour.
In "Unravelling," a tale recalling disparate elements of Fritz Lieber and Harlan Ellison's "Shatterday", yet with Hood's own tight plotting, irrevocable fate takes a hand. "Lo Que No Asusta" is about fear, pure and simple , that which scares us, and for both its central concept – the `fear-trap'– and its brilliantly accomplished twist ending, deserves to be a minor classic. Decay, both physical and moral, infests the heart of "Rotten Times," which starts with a date gone wrong and ends with post-millennial destruction by way of a cursed farmhouse and its unnaturally aged denizen.
Hood's powerful feeling for the Australian landscape forms the backbone of the futuristic murder story "Groundswell," in which police sent to investigate a series of disappearances cooperatively further the solution to the apocalyptic environmental problem of `the Wasting.' "Heartless" manages to squeeze bodily transfer, alien invasion and gruesome evisceration into one brief tale, and again it's one in which if the horror didn't work so well we may at times be tempted to giggle, if only blackly. .The name of the titular demonic succubus is not the only nod to Poe in the tartly-told "Separating Lenore," which once again effectively mingles black humour and horror. In "Getting Rid of Mother", the vengeful spirit of an old lady evicted from her home takes revenge in unexpected ways. Both poignant and funny, "The Slimelight and How to Step Into It" is the tale of a blob of green slime that wants to become a Shakespearean actor –more bodily invasion here. "Casual Visitors" is one of the lesser tales in the book, its kookified narrative centring on a man called George who obsessively builds a flying saucer in his backyard. The volume ends on a strong note with "You're a Sick Man, Mr Antwhistle, a short but disturbing tale about mind-control.
Hood's take on everyday events is at slight angles to reality, so that the quotidian is easily undermined; and if he chooses to use humour as often as horror to highlight this undercut reality, so much the more entertaining.
The design of the book is attractive, with marvellous cover artwork by Cat Sparks. While the text is marred in several places by unfortunate typos, the quality of the stories in this collection makes it a wickedly enjoyable volume to savour, and to re-read.

Home Columnist Kante is out for three weeks
Kante is out for three weeks
Blues boss Frank Lampard has shown that he remains without a range of similar stars, but Tammy Abraham and Ruben Loftus-Cheek can be found.
Chelsea manager Frank Lampard is hoping to be without N'Golo Kante for three weeks, while no timescale has been placed on Christian Pulisic's recovery from injury.
The Blues watched the World Cup-winning midfielder pushed off early during their 2-0 defeat to Manchester United.
Kante lasted only 12 minutes in that competition before going down the tunnel.
Lampard admits the France global is set to stay on the sidelines for the near future.
United States global Pulisic is also nursing an adductor problem, with it yet to be decided when he'll return into contention.
Chelsea are, nevertheless, able to call upon Ruben Loftus-Cheek for the first time this year, as they piece together plans for a London derby date with Tottenham on Saturday, while Andreas Christensen can be obtained after being fitted for a face mask to protect his broken nose.
Leading goalscorer Tammy Abraham is back in contention after being lost since the 2-2 draw with Leicester on February 1.
Lampard told reporters when offering his most recent fitness update:"N'Golo is not fit, muscle injury. Similar to Arsenal. Hopefully three weeks.
"Pulisic not match, no specific date. A tricky injury.
"Ruben is in the group. Not fit to begin, but in the group.
"Andreas went to find a mask and has trained with that. Available for selection.
"Tammy has trained for the previous two days. Probably 70%. He's in the group."
Injury problems have been an issue for Chelsea during the 2019-20 effort, with Lampard eager to point out that he's had to shuffle his pack on a regular basis.
He added: "This year is a transitional year, and fans love that.
"Not many teams have experienced our injuries. Kante has played 50% of those matches. The fans admire that and they see what we attempt to do. They'll be there to support us.
"It is tight right now and we want the fans. The players will give everything."
Little was expected of Lampard when he returned to Stamford Bridge in a managerial capacity last summer, but he is conscious of the requirement to deliver Champions League qualification.
Quizzed on if he feels under stress, the Blues legend said: "I always feel it, because this is the top sport. I thrive on it.
"I've enjoyed this week. It was disappointing to lose on Monday [against United], but this is the challenge for us.
"Everybody probably wrote us off for high. It's a process and the pressure is always there."
Chelsea sit fourth in the Premier League table at present but are just 1 point clear of Spurs, two before Sheffield United and three facing Manchester United.

Imperial College Geology Society Name Change
by Victoria Murphy 10 June 2020
Imperial College Union's departmental society for geology, the De La Beche Society, will be changing its name.
Imperial College Union's departmental society for geology, the De La Beche Society, will be changing its name in line with the society's values of equality and inclusivity.
Named after Henry De La Beche, a geologist and palaeontologist who contributed to the founding of the Royal School of Mines, the society has decided to distance itself from De La Beche's legacy as slaveowner and to temporarily change its name to Imperial College Geology Society.
De La Beche, who ran a slave plantation, represented views that downplayed the inhumanity of slave trade. The society takes a strong stance for its inclusive and equal culture and, whilst continuing to value De La Beche's academic contributions, has decided to alter its name to reflect Imperial College Union's and the society's values of an inclusive community that fosters as sense of belonging for everyone.
Over the coming months, a public consultation will be run in the Department of Earth Science and Engineering to gather ideas for a new permanent name.

Inter Partes Review is a proceeding that the USPTO adopted in 2012 that allows a challenge to an issued patent based on obviousness or lack of novelty. Inter Partes Review has become an increasingly common tool to invalidate a patent as an alternative to litigation in Federal Court. In Covidien LP v. University of Florida Research Foundation Inc., the US Patent Trial and Appeal Board addressed the issue of whether sovereign immunity would extend to a state actor who owns rights to a patent being challenged in an administrative forum such as an Inter Partes Review. Under the 11th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, the 50 States of the Union and their branches, have immunity from a lawsuit instituted by a private party. Court decisions interpreting the 11th Amendment have construed it broadly to extend this immunity not only to lawsuits in a court of law, but also to other adjudicative proceedings such as those of administrative agencies.
An Inter Partes Review in many way parallels a lawsuit in a court of law. For example, there is discovery, depositions, motions, and oral argument. Further, a panel of judges decide not only the outcome of the proceeding, but also whether the proceeding may even be instituted. In Covidien LP v. University of Florida Research Foundation Inc., the U.S. Patent Trial and Appeal Board ruled in favor of the University of Florida Research Foundation. The U.S. Patent Trial and Appeal Board decided that due to the similarities between civil litigation and an InterPartes Review, the University of Florida Research Foundation, being an arm of the State of Florida, was entitled to assert sovereign immunity as a defense to the institution of an Inter Partes Review. This decision may have an effect on the number of Inter Partes Reviews that are instituted against public research institutions, such as state universities.
The latest chapter in the Apple v. Samsung litigation, previously blogged about here, involves a determination by the Supreme Court of the United States that damages for design patent infringement can be calculated based on only a component of a product, rather than the entire product, if only that component is found to infringe. This is significant because Apple's $400M damages award was based on Samsung's total profit for sales of the infringing phones. However, Apple's design patent only covered certain features of Samsung's phones, and according to the language of the patent statute, as Samsung argued, it should only have to pay damages on the infringing components, not the entire product.
Last year, the Federal Circuit decided UltimatePointer, LLC v. Nintendo Co., Ltd. UltimatePointer brought a patent Infringment suit against Nintendo for its Wii console which uses indirect-pointing remote control devices. The district court ruled for Nintendo on summary judgment concluding that direct-pointing devices, and not indirect-pointing devices, were within the scope of the claims of UltimatePointer's patent. The Federal Circuit affirmed the district court's ruling, reasoning that the specification of the patent repeatedly emphasize that the invention is directed to a direct-pointing device and that there are disadvantages with indirect pointing devices. This decision underscores the importance of the specification on how claims are construed. As seen in UltimatePointer, LLC v. Nintendo Co., Ltd., a court may limit the scope of a claim based on the content of the specification.
The Copyright Office has issued final rules updating its practices for receiving the designation of agents under the Digital Millenium Copyright Act ("DMCA"). Until now it was paper based, but after December 1, 2016, the Copyright Office will switch to an electronic system. If you have previously appointed such an agent to receive notices of claimed infringement in order to take advantage of the Safe Harbor provisions for internet service providers, you must file a new designation before December 31, 2017 in order to ensure that your agent is listed in the new electronic directory.
These pictures are worth more than just 1,000 words. In August, the Third Circuit affirmed a jury's return of a $1.6 million verdict for Andrew Leonard as a result of copyright infringement by Stemtech International. The infringement stemmed from photographs that Leonard took of stem cells using electron microscopes in a highly technical type of photography. The two photographs at issue were created in 1996, then registered with the U.S. Copyright Office in 2007, when he planned to bring the lawsuit.

The Danube Brings Back Memories
Romanian Avram Iancu continues on his stage swim of 2,860 km, forecasted to last 60 days, along the Danube River through Europe.
Day 63 on August 21st
Today has been the first day after Iancu passed the first dam located at the Iron Gates, a gorge on the Danube River, forming part of the boundary between Romania and Serbia. Although he was hoping that the water will start flowing again, he was disappointed to discover the river extremely buffeting him from the front, but he managed to swim a total of 21 km, reaching the 921 km milestone.
He also passed an important town in Romania, Drobeta-Turnu-Severin, where the mayor welcomed him together with more followers and media. "I was pleasantly surprised to swim by a boat I took for a tour on the Danube together with my wife 15 years earlier, bringing back fond memories."
The distance traversed on the Danube from Day 1 to Day 63: 1,939 km
The distance remaining to be covered on the Danube: 921 km
Day 64 on August 22nd
Iancu swam 27 km today in three stages, arriving at the 894 km milestone. "Passing the 900 km milestone makes such a big difference for my morale. I now have 800+ km to swim, not 900+," he said.
During the first 8 km he enjoyed nice weather, but the wind started blowing again and the waves returned. The second stage, after lunch, was 10 km long. The third was 6 km when he felt in excellent shape for these last kilometers of the day. "I am enjoying a calm feeling on the inside as I am slowly realizing I am reaching the last dam on the Danube in around 30 km. It is the 65th dam on the river and my body is fully adapted to the environment and all the effort I put it through. The daily massages help a great deal as well. I am feeling like a swimming machine now. I am very lucky that my support team is so nice as well – they keep making jokes and keeping me entertained which is absolutely fantastic."
As a librarian, Iancu always hoped that his journey will inspire more people to read more books and he was pleasantly surprised today that from the hundreds of messages he receives, a lady made him a poem. "It made me tear up seeing that people are feeling so inspired by what I am doing."

Q: What parameter is missing for AWS CloudFormation template? I am attempting to implement this template in a test environment on AWS: https://github.com/awslabs/hids-cloudwatchlogs-elasticsearch-template
I've performed the following steps:

*

*Create SSH Key Pair and select it

*Create S3 bucket

*Add zipped Lamba deployment package to S3 bucket

*Specify S3 bucket in configuration

*Select the test VPC

*Select the test Subnet

*Configure the Trusted Network CIDR

*Subnet is active with other test instances running

*Default VPC Security Group allows all outbound traffic

*Execute the template with defaults for one test and then another test using an AWS role that has the built-in AdministratorAccess policy assigned (I understand this is not the best practice; I just need the Stack created before scaling back permissions in this test environment)

I keep getting the following error:
17:02:50 UTC-0700   ROLLBACK_IN_PROGRESS    AWS::CloudFormation::Stack  HIDS    The following resource(s) failed to create: [HIDSLinuxHost02, HIDSLinuxHost01]. . Rollback requested by user.

Any ideas on why this is might occur?

A: @jarmod assisted me down the right path. NAT wasn't configured properly so the EC2 instances were not able to traverse the router. Thank you @jarmod.

Q: Is it possible to use VB project as an Endpoint in n-service bus solution? Is it possible to use VB project as an Endpoint in n-service bus solution? When I add an endpoint - "Nservice Bus Web EndPoint" it automatically creates it as a C# project.
I want it to be Visual Basic project. Is this possible? Also, if I have already have a Visual Basic project created inside my Nservice bus solution, how can I add it as an Endpoint?

A: NServiceBus endpoints can be a class library running off NServiceBus Host. The Host is just an executable (.exe file) that would run your class library with which you can switch very easily from console app in dev/test environment to a Windows Service in Production. So technically speaking there's really no limitation on the Language that you can use in a NServiceBus solution, but since the default template is only C# you need to set this up yourself. Do the following steps to run your VB.NET project as an NServiceBus endpoint:

*

*Create a new (or use existing) VB.NET class library.

*Add NServiceBus libraries to the references

*Add NServiceBus host (.exe file) to the references

*Compile the solution and select the Host executable as the debugging assembly in Project setting. This will ensure the executable is run when you debug the solution.

*Add a class implementing IConfigureThisEndPoint.

*Make the class also implement a role (e.g. AsA_Server) that would make sense for your scenario.

Now by running/debugging your class library a console app should pop up with logs and everything else.


The Aretha Franklin concert film titled 'Amazing Grace' will open the 2019 Roger Ebert film festival in Champaign-Urbana, reported The Hollywood Reporter.
The University of Illinois stated that the 1972 film helmed by Sydney Pollack has been stored in a vault for decades and is now being restored and released. The film will kick-start this year's Ebertfest, followed by a live community choir performance.
Ebertfest co-founder Chaz Ebert said that instead of opening with the traditional musical, this year the festival will begin with "a glorious, gospel-infused high note."The annual festival honours Ebert, the late Chicago Sun-Times film critic. It will run from April 10 to April 13 at Champaign's Virginia Theatre. More films and a screening schedule are soon to be released.

Pseudo-Martyr is een polemisch traktaat dat de Engelse metafysische dichter John Donne schreef in 1610.

Met deze tekst wilde Donne bijdragen aan de religieuze pamfletoorlog die in die tijd werd gevoerd. Hij verdedigde het standpunt dat Engelse Rooms-katholieken trouw moesten zweren (de sedert de Gunpowder Plot ingestelde Oath of Allegiance) aan Jacobus I van Engeland. Op die manier konden ze loyaal blijven aan het geestelijk gezag van Rome, en vervolging vermijden door de Britse Kroon. Jacobus I was zo opgetogen over de verhandeling dat hij Donne de eretitel master of arts verleende. Het werk is sterk autobiografisch, want Donnes familie had in die tijd grote moeite om zich als katholieken binnen het tegenover hen vijandig politiek klimaat staande te houden.

Pseudo-Martyr was ook het eerste werk van John Donne dat in druk verscheen en ook het enige dat hij als advocaat schreef. William Stansby was de drukker. In 1611 volgde een andere tekst die eveneens beoogde Rooms-katholieken te overhalen om de eed van trouw aan de protestantse koning te zweren: Ignatius his Conclave. In beide teksten viel hij de Jezuïeten heftig aan.

Anton Patzner and Laura Weinbach of the Foxtails Brigade.
This quartet performs acoustic, string-heavy contemporary folk music with a pop sensibility. Classically trained vocalist and guitarist Laura Weinbach is the songwriter of Foxtails Brigade. She sings with a striking but gentle voice, telling poignant stories.
The band has no traditional drummer, instead emphasizing fingerpicked guitar, violin, upright bass and percussion. This gives the music a timeless feel, but the Foxtails Brigade experiments with modern compositions, keeping the music firmly grounded in the present.
Next, the band is touring the West Coast, with a detour for shows in Iceland and France. The band released its debut, "The Bread and the Bait," in April, and Weinbach says they're already working on a new album.
Lineup: Laura Weinbach, guitar, vocals; Anton Patzner, violin; Joshua Pollock, percussion; Joe Lewis, upright bass.
Films by Jan Svankmajer, fish paste and pig's feet.
Joanna Newsom and Kenneth Loggins.
Whom did you look up to when you were 10? Whom do you look up to now?
Stephanie from "Full House." My brother Brent "Arf Arf" Weinbach.
Next gig: 9 p.m. today. $10-$12. With the Botticellis, Judgement Day. New Parish, 579 18th St., Oakland. www.thenewparish.com.

The effects of corticosteroids on cytokine production from asthma lung lymphocytes.
Manminder Kaur, Sophie Reynolds, Lucy J Smyth, Karen Simpson, Simon Hall, Dave Singh
BACKGROUND: Lymphocytes play a central role in the pathophysiology of asthma. Corticosteroids have a limited effect in severe asthma and we hypothesise that lymphocytes play a central role in corticosteroid insensitivity. We investigated the effects of corticosteroids on cytokine production from lung lymphocytes obtained from patients with moderate severe asthma (MSA) compared to mild asthma (MA) and healthy non-smokers (HNS). METHODS: Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cells obtained by bronchoscopy from patients with MSA and MA (n = 11 and n = 14 respectively) and HNS (n = 7) were stimulated with CD2/3/28 beads to activate the lymphocytes, in the presence or absence of dexamethasone (0.01-1 μM). Supernatants were assayed for IL-2, IFNγ, IL-17, IL-13 and IL-10 production. RESULTS: Dexamethasone caused variable inhibition of cytokines; 1 μM inhibited IL-10 and IL-17 by 50% or lower, while inhibition > 50% was observed for IL-2, IL-13 and IFNγ. The effect of dexamethasone on IL-13 production was reduced in MSA. CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that the production of specific lymphocyte derived cytokines is poorly suppressed by corticosteroids in MSA, which may be responsible for persistent airway inflammation in these patients

METHODS: Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cells obtained by bronchoscopy from patients with MSA and MA (n = 11 and n = 14 respectively) and HNS (n = 7) were stimulated with CD2/3/28 beads to activate the lymphocytes, in the presence or absence of dexamethasone (0.01-1 μM). Supernatants were assayed for IL-2, IFNγ, IL-17, IL-13 and IL-10 production. RESULTS: Dexamethasone caused variable inhibition of cytokines; 1 μM inhibited IL-10 and IL-17 by 50% or lower, while inhibition > 50% was observed for IL-2, IL-13 and IFNγ. The effect of dexamethasone on IL-13 production was reduced in MSA. CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that the production of specific lymphocyte derived cytokines is poorly suppressed by corticosteroids in MSA, which may be responsible for persistent airway inflammation in these patients",

On March 22nd, 2018, NPR published a segment by Martin Kaste titled "Investigators Probe Software's Role In Deadly Boeing 737 Max Crashes". The segment contains an interview with Eben Moglen, Professor of Law at Columbia Law School and President of SFLC.
"Columbia Law School Professor Eben Moglen, who has long championed transparency in software, says the real lesson to take from the 737 Max is the necessity for autonomous software systems to"explain themselves" to the people using them.
He says software has allowed manufacturers to cut corners and costs on things like camera phones — say, using image-enhancement software to compensate for inferior lenses. "Every smartphone manufacturer I've ever dealt with regards the color-enhancement part of its camera software as among its most valuable trade secrets," Moglen says.
But cheap physical designs are a minor consideration, he says, compared with what the 737 Max situation represents.

'Brilliant': Gary Neville suggests Chelsea have a 21-year-old gem coming through
Gary Neville was full of praise for Chelsea loanee Conor Gallagher last night after his performance for Crystal Palace in a 2-2 draw against Arsenal.
Gallagher, 21, is a talent coming through at Stamford Bridge that was sent out on loan this season.
The central midfielder joined London rivals Palace for a year and has quickly become an ever-present in Patrick Vieira's starting XI at Selhurst Park.
He impressed last night with his Premier League display against Arsenal, showing a tenacious work rate and quality on the ball.
Sky Sports pundit Neville suggests that Chelsea have another gem on their books.
"I liked his energy. I liked his commitment to go press the ball… I thought when he got the ball he used it. I thought he was brilliant for Crystal Palace," Neville said on Sky Sports during televised analysis of Arsenal v Palace (18 October, 2021).
"You need players in your team who are out of possession going to go win the ball back, do the hard yards, are going to be brave, and get on the ball in the Premier League."

Gallagher improving at Palace
For certain, Gallagher is looking like a future Chelsea first teamer.
The English midfielder is thriving in a box-to-box role for a Palace side that try to play attractive football and keep possession.
Even some Arsenal fans were left praising him for his performance on Monday, which goes to show the kind of impact he's having at his loan club.
It's superb for his development that he's playing regularly for a Premier League side and he's consistently looking like one of their best individuals.
He's going to be one hell of a player when he tightens up his decision making, something that will happen with more experience for the youngster.

Chelsea academy strikes again
Chelsea's youth system has to be one of the best in Europe right now.
Obviously, there are plenty of young talents to come through at Cobham that won't make it as Chelsea players.
However, the likes of Marc Guehi and Tino Livramento are thriving at Premier League clubs after permanent exits.
Gallagher very much looks like he could follow in the footsteps of Reece James and Mason Mount, though. They are both first-team stars with the Blues after prevoius loan spells away from Chelsea learning their craft.
Even some Arsenal fans wowed by 'incredible' 21-year-old on Chelsea's books

Teachers and paraprofessionals who belong to the Susquehanna Township Education Association packed the room at Monday night's Susquehanna Township School Board meeting. The STEA and Teamsters are negotiating contracts with the district.
Teachers and staff in the midst of contract negotiations packed the room but were silent on the night that the Susquehanna Township School District board finalized a four-year contract for Superintendent Susan M. Kegerise.
In January, the board renewed Kegerise's contract but left salary, time period and goals for further negotiations. The 6-3 vote Monday night sealed the details – a $140,000 annual salary spanning from Jan. 1, 2013 through June 30, 2017.
A board committee will meet with STEA and Teamsters, and "hopefully, we'll be able to come to a mutual resolution of those contracts in the near future," board President Michael Ferguson said.
Some parents of former and current students riled by a recent middle-school fight that resulted in student arrests said they see security and academic declines in the district. Conversely, a consultant on the district's planned medicine, health sciences, and engineering school lauded the district's rigor and creation of "scientifically literate adults."
"This is one of the few schools in the nation that is actually going ahead with something of this import," said Michael Chorney, professor in the Penn State College of Medicine.
Board opponents of Kegerise's contract said they didn't have time to review the document and wanted more specificity in a new state-mandated goals section. Goals for academic achievement and discipline "don't have any measurements or definition," said John Dietrich, who joined Mark Sussman and Jesse Rawls Jr., in voting no.
"I believe those [goals] are light, as well, and think through the year we can get more in-depth understanding of the measurements of some of the issues facing the schools," Dietrich said.


Given below is a list of Ayurvedic Hospitals in India. Ayurveda is a traditional stream of Indian medicine and is one of the most primeval forms of alternative medicine. This medical practice has been followed from the early days of the Vedas. Ayurvedic treatment has always been preferred as the last recourse when other streams of medicine and treatment render ineffective. However if followed with keen observance and proper treatment regularly then Ayurveda guarantees a complete cure on proper prognosis and that too with the guarantee that they would be no side effects as a result of treatment. Ayurvedic hospitals follow the major principles of the science that include keystone feature of diagnosis, hygiene, treatment and Strotas.
There are still a considerable number of patients in India who have recourse to Ayurvedic treatment. Recent statistics also bear witness that there is a growing preference for Ayurvedic treatment.

Georges "Rush" Saint-Pierre born in Saint-Isidore, Quebec, Canada, often referred to as GSP, is a Canadian mixed martial arts fighter and the 2007 UFC Welterweight Champion.
Saint-Pierre holds notable wins over Matt Hughes, B.J. Penn, Frank Trigg, Karo Parisyan and current UFC Lightweight Champion Sean Sherk. He is considered to be the #1 ranked 170 lb (77 kg) fighter in the world.
St. Pierre had a difficult childhood, attending a school where others would steal his clothes and money. He started learning Kyokushin karate at age seven to defend himself against a school bully. He took up Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) after his karate teacher died, and has also trained in wrestling and boxing.
Saint-Pierre won his fight by knockout, going low with several leg kicks and then going high with a Karate kick to the head. To this day much of the media has him pegged as a wrestler, or a Jiu Jitsu fighter, but he still considers himself a karate stylist at heart.
The tattoo on his chest means that there are two sides to him. "I can be very rude and I can be very nice. I like to be rude when I fight," St. Pierre has said.

Ariana Grande Sued for Allegedly Ripping Off '7 Rings'
Songwriter Josh Stone, who goes by stage name DOT, accuses the Grammy-winning songstress of stealing the lyrics and tunes of his song 'You Need It, I Got It', which he created in 2017.
AceShowbiz - Ariana Grande has been accused of stealing the lyrics and tune to her Grammy Award-nominated single "7 Rings".
Songwriter Josh Stone, who goes by the stage name DOT, claims the 2019 release is a rip off of a track he created back in January 2017, titled "You Need It, I Got It", which he played for a string of industry bosses, including executives at Universal Music Group - the parent company of Ariana's label, Republic Records.
Stone alleges he also met with Ariana's frequent collaborator, producer Tommy Brown, who expressed an interest in his song, which featured the hook, "You need it, I got it/You want it, I got it."
In legal papers filed in New York on Thursday, January 16, he notes Ariana's version includes similar lyrics, in which she sings, "I want it, I got it/I want it, I got it" - and claims, "The rhythm and placement of the notes and lyrics are identical".
The hip-hop artist alleges "7 Rings" has to date banked more than $10 million (£7.6 million) in revenue, which he is seeking in damages.
Representatives for Grande have yet to respond to the lawsuit.

Global Alliance on the circular economy and resource efficiency
United Nations General Assembly
United Nations Environment Assembly
GACERE
In the March 2020 Circular Economy Action Plan, the Commission proposed a global alliance to identify knowledge and governance gaps in advancing a global circular economy and take forward partnership initiatives, including major economies.
Bringing together governments and relevant networks and organisations, the Global Alliance on Circular Economy and Resource Efficiency (GACERE) aims to provide a global impetus for initiatives related to the circular economy transition, resource efficiency and sustainable consumption and production, building on efforts being deployed internationally. GACERE members will do so by working together and advocating at the political level and in multilateral fora, in particular at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA) and in G7/G20.
GACERE will be launched on Monday 22 February 2021 from 12:00 until 13:15 CET (UTC+1) in the margins of the first segment of the fifth meeting of the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA 5). Follow the web-streamed event:
The side event will be hosted by Mr Virginijus SINKEVIČIUS, EU Commissioner for Environment, Oceans and Fisheries, Ms Inger ANDERSEN, United Nations Under Secretary-General and UNEP's Executive Director, and Mr LI Yong, UNIDO's Director-General.
Ministers of countries who have joined GACERE and stakeholders will be invited to provide their perspectives on the Alliance's intended role in supporting a global just transition to circular and resource-efficient economies and the achievement of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

Kuhl un de Gäng ist eine Band aus Köln. Mit ihrer Mundartmusik ist sie unter anderem im Karneval aktiv.

Bandgeschichte
Die Band wurde 2012 von Schlagzeuger Manuel Pickartz und dem damaligen Sänger Michael Kuhl gegründet. Sie bestand bei der Gründung aus neun Musikern. Neben den beiden Gründern spielten in der Band Hagen Anselm Fritzsche (Keyboard), Michael Dahmen (E-Bass), Tobias Hebbelmann (Keyboard), Yannick Richter (Gitarre), Mathis Petermann (Trompete), David Brück (Saxophon) und Michael Thelen (Posaune).

Ihren ersten Auftritt spielten Kuhl un de Gäng am 10. Juni 2012 auf der Deepejasser Kirmes in Köln. Hier wurde die erste Single Su zum ersten Mal präsentiert. In diesem Jahr erhielt die Band auch ihre erste Auszeichnung. Sie gewannen das Loss mer singe live Casting und erhielt den Publikumspreis der Veranstaltung.

Nachdem 2013 ein Plattenvertrag (2013–2016) mit der Ariola Colonia unterschrieben wurde, veröffentlichte die Band die Singles Ich han dich jään und Fastelovend am Rhing.

Im Sommer 2014 verließen fünf Musiker die Band und die heutigen Bandmitglieder Hubert Pieper und Heinrich Fries kamen dazu. Mit dieser Besetzung veröffentlichte die Band kurz darauf einen ihrer erfolgreichsten Titel Ich han dä Millowitsch jesinn.

Im Jahr 2015 folgten die Singles Raderdoll und  Die schönste Mädcher han mir. Die Band spielte erstmals einen Auftritt auf dem Festival Colonia Olé und trat dort erneut 2016 auf. Im Jahr 2016 folgten weitere wichtige Auftritte mit dem Länderfest am Vorabend zum Tag der Deutschen Einheit in Dresden und das erste Unplugged-Konzert im Millowitsch-Theater.

Im Jahr 2017 verließ Michael Kuhl die Band und Gitarrist Hubert Pieper übernahm die Position des Leadsänger. Mit dessen neuen Songs spielte die Band wieder beim Länderfest in Mainz und auch zum ersten Mal beim Festival Jeck im Sunnesching.

Am 15. September 2018 veröffentlichte Kuhl un de Gäng ihr Debüt-Album "Gängland" beim Plattenlabel Hey!band.

Did you know that there are a handful of instances in which a judge is much more likely to take a hard stance against an offense? Here on Oahu, one of those offenses is drunk driving. In other words, if you are arrested for drunk driving, it's much more likely that your bail amount will be set particularly high. The judge will often consider a number of different things when setting a bail amount including criminal history, past bail skips, and more, but regardless of the situation, drunk drivers can usually expect the bail amount to be fairly high.
The good news is that the team at Wanna Get Out Bail Bonds is here to help. If you get the call that a loved one has been arrested for drunk driving, there's a good chance that you're going to experience a wide range of emotions ranging from anger to frustration to relief. It's natural to be upset that a person drove while intoxicated, it's normal to be frustrated that he or she didn't call you for a ride, and it's a huge relief to find out that there were no injuries involved.
At the end of the day, sometimes hearing that a person has been arrested can actually be the best thing to have happen because it can cause them to start to turn things around. One thing we want you to know is that no matter the time of day or night and no matter the specifics of the situation, we'll be there to lend a helping hand at every step of the way.
That's why if you find yourself in the situation described above, today's post is for you. Your natural impulse might be to panic, but the team at Wanna Get Out Bail Bonds is here to help you get out in front of the situation, taking care of you along the way. Keep reading to learn more!
Perhaps you found us by searching for the term "DUI bail bonds." We're glad you're here, and we'll be sharing a bit of information that you're sure to find helpful. The standard amount that Hawaii has set for a bond is 10% of the bail amount. In other words, if a judge happens to set the amount of bail at $50,000, you'd need to provide $5,000 to exit police custody, and we'd take care of the other $45,000.
Unfortunately, many people find themselves in a position where they can't make bail on their own. It can be a pretty dark place to find yourself, but at Wanna Get Out Bail Bonds on Oahu, we can often offer payment plans, and our surety bonds provide a perfect solution for a number of different people.
At the end of the day, you have some choices to consider, but there's probably going to be one that stands out as being better than the rest. Nevertheless, our team happily offers free bond advice to help you ensure that you make the right decision for your specific situation. We know that things are different for different people, and we'll consider all of the facts and bring our expertise to the table to help make sure that you have all of the facts. Hey, why not set yourself up for success, right?
As you well know, emergencies don't happen on a schedule, and that's often a big part of what makes them so stressful to deal with. When it comes right down to it, the truth is that the road ahead can be frustrating, but the good news is that we'll be there for you at every step of the way.

Grady is a Southern rock band based in Austin, Texas.

History
Grady originally consisted of Canadian vocalist and guitarist Gordie Johnson (known as Grady Johnson as part of the band), Canadian bass guitarist "Big" Ben Richardson, and Chris Layton on drums. Prior to Grady, Johnson was the frontman for Big Sugar, Layton was the drummer for Stevie Ray Vaughan's Double Trouble rhythm section, and Richardson was with The Jeff Healey Band and The Phantoms in Toronto.

Grady often plays at The Continental Club in Austin, did an eight stop Canadian tour in March 2005, and appeared at the University of Regina to play a free show in September 2005. This was followed up by a full-length album called Y.U. So Shady?. The band released "Hammer In My Hand" as a single from the album, which was a moderate hit on Canadian radio, peaking at #14 on Canada's Rock chart in 2005. After the issue of a second album, A Cup of Cold Poison, Grady made two extensive tours to Canada early in 2008.

The band caught the attention of Jello Biafra of the Dead Kennedys who released Y.U. So Shady? in the United States.

Chris Layton was replaced on drums by Billy Maddox in early 2006. Maddox was also a veteran of the Austin music scene, having played with The Electromagnets, Alien Love Child and The Eric Johnson Band.

In 2006, Grady shot a video for "Woman Got My Devil" which was played in Canada on MuchMoreMusic. Produced by Michael Maxxis and directed by David Hogan, the video features Witchbaby from A&E's Rollergirls, as well as a number of other Rollergirls in supporting roles. It was shot in Luck, Texas, an 1800s Western town owned by Willie Nelson.

In 2007, Grady released their second album, entitled A Cup of Cold Poison, which was recorded at Willie Nelson's Pedernales Studio. The album features appearances by Willie Nelson, Alejandro Escovedo and Ron Hynes. The band released a single for "You're What's Happening Baby".

In September 2007 drummer Billy Maddox left Grady due to a pre-existing health condition. The band began touring again in November 2007 with a new drummer, Nina "The Queena" Singh of Austin-based band Kitty Gordon.

Grady's next full-length album, Good As Dead, was released in Canada on C12 Records in 2009. The album contains a cover version of The Tragically Hip's "Boots or Hearts", which Gordie Johnson described as "volatile", as well as the eponymous "Good as Dead", penned by Johnson. The record showcases the "Cowboy Metal" sound and features backup vocals by drummer Nina Singh.

In April 2010, Gordie Johnson made his directorial debut when he wrote and directed the video for "If I Was King" on location in Texas. It is dedicated to Johnson's lifelong friend, comedian Eric Tunney.

Grady released the live DVD/CD during the "Calling All My Demons" tour in Fall 2010. Footage for the DVD was requested by Gordie Johnson from all in attendance at Grady's October 2009 show at the Pyramid Cabaret in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
On Dec 27, 2010, Billy Maddox was killed in a tragic freak shooting in his house.

In August 2011 drummer Nina "The Queena" Singh left Grady to join Court Yard Hounds.  Drummer Trinidad Leal from Dixie Witch has been working with the band since.

While considered an "American" band by location of establishment, most members of Grady are Canadian.

A miner was on Thursday evening shot in the right ankle and leg as he pursued three bandits who had just robbed three persons at back Street, One Mile Wismar, Linden.
Police Headquarters said that Omeanna Davis, Jermaine Adams and Fidel Smith were in the lower flat of the house at about 20:00hrs when they were attacked by three males, one armed with a handgun and the others with knives.
The suspects relieved the victims of an iPhone 8 plus, two gold chains and a sum of money.
Police said the victims were locked in a bathroom while the bandits proceeded to another house.
However, the suspects were met with fierce resistance from a male occupant which caused them to flee empty-handed.
An alarm was raised and the miner, 33-year-old Marvis Edwards who was nearby, pursued the suspects and during the process, was shot.
The perpetrators managed to escape in a waiting motor car which was later found abandoned at a location in Canvas St, Wismar.
The stolen iPhone was recovered at an abandoned house in Amelia's Ward.
Two males are in custody assisting with the investigation, police said.

Two years on, forest pact's 'good intentions' do little to protect Amazon

What's the context?
The Leticia Pact, signed by South American leaders in 2019, has so far failed to live up to its aims to curb Amazon deforestation, critics say.
By Anastasia Moloney and Fabio Teixeira
BOGOTA/RIO DE JANEIRO - When the presidents of South America's Amazonian nations met in Colombia's jungle town of Leticia two years ago, to discuss how to better protect the world's largest rainforest, they signed a landmark deal that raised hopes deforestation would decline.
The Leticia Pact aimed to drive sustainable forest use and reforestation, restore degraded land, improve information sharing and the use of satellite data to monitor deforestation and wildfires, and empower women and indigenous groups.

But since seven heads of state inked the plan, as indigenous leaders looked on, its pledges have remained largely unfulfilled, with scant evidence of up-and-running forest protection and restoration efforts as a direct result of the pact, critics said.
As deforestation continues to surge in the Amazon, the plan has also failed to attract significant new funding, they said.
Julia Jacobin, a researcher at Institutor Sociambiental, a Brazilian non-profit working in the Amazon region, said what has happened since the deal was signed amounts to "nothing", with non-profits and other organizations still the key drivers of forest protection and coordination efforts in the region.
Sandra Vilardy, an assistant professor at Colombia's Los Andes University and head of an observatory on national parks, said agreement backers had "good intentions and Colombia has shown leadership".
"But the pact doesn't attack the root problems of deforestation", she said, with illegal mining, expansion of cattle ranching and farms, and drug trafficking still widespread.
Political differences among governments, changes in national leaders, conflicting economic motivations and COVID-19-related distractions all have contributed to the pact's failure to advance significantly, analysts said.
But the lack of action may have significant consequences both for last-ditch efforts to protect fast-vanishing nature and to stem runaway climate change, which is powering increasingly damaging wildfires, floods, droughts and storms globally.
'Advance decisively'
Three months after the Leticia Pact was agreed by seven countries that are home to the Amazon basin - Brazil, Ecuador, Colombia, Peru, Bolivia, Guyana and Suriname - leaders created an "action plan" to implement its 52 points.
Then, nearly a year after the deal was signed, environment and foreign ministry officials of the Amazonian nations again met online.
They signed another declaration to "advance decisively" and "reaffirm" their previous commitments to Amazon protection, describing the pact as a "milestone in regional cooperation."
Under the pact, a protocol on forest fires management in the Amazon, to improve disaster response coordination and satellite monitoring, was launched in May 2021, largely in response to wildfires across Brazil and Bolivia in 2019.
But there are few other signs of tangible progress despite the fanfare and renewed commitments, environmentalists said.
The original five-page pact has aims that cannot be clearly measured, they said, and lacks a clear timeline as well as details on how funding would be secured and how countries would work together.
The Amazon Cooperation Treaty Organization (ACTO) - an intergovernmental body of eight Amazon nations created in 1995 - is listed in the pact as a group designated to help coordinate work.
ACTO did not reply to requests for information about progress made on implementing the pact and the funding allocated.
Brazil's environment ministry also did not reply to a request for comment.
Colombia's environment ministry said there were no spokespeople available to comment on progress made in implementing the pact.

The Amazon rainforest plays a vital role in regulating the Earth's climate by absorbing and storing planet-heating carbon dioxide released as people and industries burn fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas.
Combatting rising deforestation in the Amazon is crucial to protecting natural life support systems on the planet, scientists say.
The rainforest, home to more than 30 million people, including about 1.5 million indigenous peoples, provides about 40% of Latin America's fresh water, for instance.
But according to the non-profit Amazon Conservation organization, in most of the Amazon Basin's nine countries, including Bolivia, Peru, Colombia, Ecuador and Brazil - home to the biggest share of rainforest - deforestation is rising.
The losses are driven largely by tree clearing for expanding cattle ranching and soy farming in Brazil and Bolivia, to feed rising global demand for beef and soybean products.
Deforestation also is fueled by illegal logging, gold mining and, in Colombia and Peru, the clearing of trees to plant illegal coca crops.
Efforts to stem losses have struggled, with forest continuing to disappear even in protected areas of Colombia, which spearheaded the pact.
"In Colombia's national parks, where there's Amazon rainforest, there's a rise in deforestation in some areas. The figures don't lie," said Vilardy, of Los Andes University.
"There's a gap between political intentions and what's really happening on the ground," she said, urging nations with Amazon forest to work together to improve intelligence systems to combat illegal logging.
Maria Espinosa, a lawyer for campaign group Amazon Frontlines, said the Leticia Pact had not produced any "significant achievements", with rising deforestation and wildfires still evident in the region.
"The pact is a type of declaration of intentions," she said.
"But in effect it neither creates the conditions nor the concrete actions (to curb forest loss) and doesn't take into account or consider the approach or way indigenous people think or govern."
Jacomini, of Brazil's Instituto Sociambiental, said ideological differences among Amazon nations - particularly since the election of right-wing Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro - also had made cooperation difficult.

Limited funds
When it was signed, the Leticia Pact noted that financial resources must be "increased" to ensure its implementation but did not provide an overall estimate of needs.
So far, international funding has been limited.
In March, the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) launched the Amazon Sustainable Development and Bioeconomy Fund, backed by $20 million in "seed capital", to help countries promote sustainable development, agriculture and tourism in the Amazon.
IDB President Mauricio Claver-Carone predicted the fund could receive up to $1 billion in donations, including from the private sector.
He told the Thomson Reuters Foundation, the bank is "setting up an implementation unit to achieve the pact's objectives," and expects to provide more details at the upcoming COP26 U.N. climate negotiations in Scotland in November.
"The Amazon's future is incredibly important both to the region's many diverse local communities and to the global population, so delivering rapid results has been a top priority for my new administration," said Claver-Carone, who became IDB head nearly a year ago.
For its part, the multi-billion-dollar international Green Climate Fund (GCF), established to help developing nations tackle global warming, has described the pact as "groundbreaking".
So far, however, the GCF has not approved any projects or disbursed funds directly related to the agreement since it was signed.
The GCF said it was involved in the IDB's bioeconomy fund, and was also considering a $133 million proposal aimed at protecting about 35 million hectares of rainforest in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru over six years.
But "we don't have any approved projects at present which include the regional coordination that is a hallmark of the pact," said Simon Wilson, GCF's head of communications.
Rachel Biderman, senior vice president for the Americas at Conservation International, a global nature protection organization, said she believed the pact had drawn, "much-needed political attention to the issues of Amazonia and deforestation."
The agreement "has generated more donor interest and funding in support of work in the Amazon," she said.
Last July, Conservation International received nearly $19 million from the French government to conserve 73 million hectares of forest by 2025, with the money going to indigenous people and other communities across seven Amazon countries, she added.
'Incompatible' interests
Colombian President Ivan Duque, who spearheaded the pact, has taken pains to emphasize his government's focus on environmental and forest protection - even as Colombia remains the world's fifth-largest coal exporter and signs new oil and gas contracts to boost its energy and foreign currency reserves.
Other Amazon-region nations, including Ecuador and Peru, also rely heavily on oil and mining to prop up their economies.
That means there is an inherent tension between economic priorities and preserving the Amazon, analysts say.
"All the countries in the region are betting, in a very significant way, on oil and mining exploration in the Amazon," said Espinosa.
But "extractive activities are completely incompatible with actions aimed at preventing climate change."
In Brazil, Bolsonaro's environmental policy has led to the expansion of soy cultivation and cattle-ranching, pushing the agricultural frontier deeper into the rainforest, environmentalists say.
Indigenous leader Francisco Hernandez, who lives in Peru's Amazon region, said he first heard about the Leticia Pact on social media but has seen no evidence of progress.
He said it was "worrying" that he and other leaders have not been informed or involved in the pact's meetings and planning.
"We have seen nothing. We are the ones living here and know best the needs and problems facing our territories," he said.

STANLEY came from behind to stun Notts County and reach the FA Cup second round on Tuesday night.
The Magpies are unbeaten away in League One and looked set to improve that impressive record on the road when Ronan Murray fired them into a 12th-minute lead.
Stanley then survived a penalty shout which even boss John Coleman said should have been given.
And although the Reds suffered a disappointing defeat at Carlisle on Saturday, they managed to muster a fightback.
Skipper Luke Joyce drew them level on the stroke of half-time then, four minutes after the break, Marcus Carver gave Stanley a surprise lead.
And, but for a Jake Cassidy shot against the crossbar, the Reds were comfortable as they saw out a deserved win to book a home tie against Yeovil.
Both sides made four changes from Saturday although two of Stanley's were enforced with John O'Sullivan and Sean Maguire ineligible.
Piero Mingoia was handed his first start under Coleman while Carver was given a chance to impress up front.
And after a quiet start the game burst into life in the 10th minute as Michael Petrasso fired over following a Notts break. But the Magpies soon regained possession and Blair Adams' left-wing cross was cleared into the the path of Murray, who fired low past Jack Rose.
The Reds replied as Lee Molyneux delivered an inswinging free-kick from the right which was flicked on by Rob Atkinson and Aldred was unable to slide the ball in at the far post.
Shay McCartan then found Andy Procter's run into the right side of the box and, sliding to reach the ball, the Stanley midfielder steered it well wide of the far post.
Stanley kept the pressure on and Procter knocked down Joyce's chip for Atkinson and his volley forced a good save from Roy Carroll.
Joyce then picked out Mingoia on the right and although he was tackled, Procter burst onto the loose ball and his cut-back fell nicely for McCartan, who almost put it over the Clayton End from just six yards out.
Notts came back into it, although some of Stanley's problems were of their own making.
Aldred's poor backpass allowed Garry Thompson to nudge it past Rose and although the striker went down under the keeper's challenge, the referee waved play on.
Atkinson was then booked for a cynical foul outside the box and Murray's free-kick went wide.
But the Reds managed one more attack before the break and equalised after great play deep down the right by McCartan.
The Stanley striker held it up while Joyce gambled by making a run into the six-yard box - and the skipper was rewarded.
McCartan's low cross sneaked between Carroll and the first defender, and Joyce stooped to bravely head home his fourth goal of the season – the same number he managed in the previous three seasons combined.
The Reds came out determined to maintain that momentum and, right after the restart, a Procter shot was deflected wide. Notts never probably cleared the corner and the ball ultimately fell to Carver, who dug out a shot on the edge of the box which looped over Carroll and into the top corner.
Cassidy then came on for the visitors and almost scored with his first touch. A hopeful punt forward put him through on goal and despite lobbing Rose, the on-loan striker's effort came back off the bar.
McCartan kept Carroll alert with a 20-yard effort before Mingoia won the ball in midfied and burst forward, also testing Carroll with a low strike.
County tried to exert some pressure on the Reds' defence but Rose confidently collected a couple of corners before gathering Petrasso's volley just under the bar.
Liam Noble then hit a free-kick over while a header from fellow substitute Shaun Harrad was easy for Rose. But Stanley were still pushing forward and despite five minutes of stoppage time, there was no late onslaught as the Reds went through.
Stanley: Rose 8, Winnard 7, Aldred 8, Atkinson 9, Liddle 8, Mingoia 8, Joyce 8, Procter 8, Molyneux 7, McCartan 7, Carver 8 (Gray 79). Subs: Hatfield, Hunt, Naismith, Roddan, Windass, Simpson. Attendance: 1,026 (170 away).

Un avi d'una família no podia menjar bé i se li vessava la sopa, així que el seu fill i la seva nora el van fer anar a menjar a la cuina i, quan a sobre se li va trencar el bol, el pare n'hi va fer un de fusta. Mentre ho feia, el seu fill de quatre anys, es va posar a jugar amb un tros de fusta i un ganivet. En preguntar-li el pare què feia, el nen li va dir que estava fent un bol per quan ell es fes vell. Després d'això, el pare va entendre la lliçó, i a partir d'aquell dia, va deixar que l'avi mengés a taula amb ells i no es va queixar mai més de la sopa vessada.
