With this weekend's effects test postponed until January (long story short, we're still hunting for a workable meat substitute; ten bucks says we wind up using actual meat), there's not much to discuss at the moment. There's plenty of planning and pre-planning and pre-pre-planning, but nothing that deserves a lengthy blog post. ("Dear Blog: Today I emailed two people to tell them I'll email them later about when to audition." Can your nerves handle such behind the scenes excitement?!)
Then someone asked me about the movies which are influencing this one. And like that, I've got myself a blog update.
While "what are your influences?" can be one of the laziest questions a journalist can ask, it can also be quite revealing when asked by non-journalists in a non-interview – especially if the question comes before the movie is made, as the answer can give people a more precise sense of "what are you going for?" as opposed to some ramble about how awesome monster movies are.
So here, in no particular order, is a list of things you could put in a blender and pour out our movie. Netflix 'em all tonight.
The Blob. Um, obviously. The 1958 original remains one of my favorite movies. It's sharp entertainment on a budget, and it delivered one of the most iconic imagery in movie history. Everything about the creature's final form in Inhumanwich! is a direct reference to this. The remake's darn solid, too.
Monster a-Go Go and The Creeping Terror. Both movies are awful, to be certain, but their appearances on Mystery Science Theater 3000 resulted in some of the cowtown puppet show's finest work. They've featured plenty of other terror-from-a-space-capsule flicks, too (hats off to The Incredible Melting Man), but these two earn points for grabbing the most of my attention.
The Quatermass Xperiment and X the Unknown. Moving back toward actual quality cinema, we have the first in the Quatermass series and its sequel in spirit (if not in franchise). It's been scientifically proven you can't go wrong with 1950s/60s British science fiction, and these two best capture the essence of the Inhumanwich! plot (Quatermass for its terror-from-a-space-capsule yarn, X for its ooze-will-kill-us-all goodness). More generally, though, any half-decent sci-fi B-movie from the era will earn smiles from me, and therefore sits as some sort of influence.
Pretty much everything Larry Blamire has ever made. The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra is perhaps the most recognizable of the recent trend of independent movies attempting to pass themselves off as bad movies from a bygone age. The entire premise of Cadavra is that it's "bad on purpose." But that overlooks two key components which rarely appear in other works in this comedy subgenre. First, Blamire knows his source genre inside and out; other titles tried to mock drive-in schlock, but Blamire celebrates it. He mocks with love because he understands what made them work and what made them fail. His admiration for the genre shines through in every scene. Second, Blamire actually bothers giving us actual jokes, not just "ha ha the actor is saying a bad line woodenly." That sort of thing happens in Cadavra, too, but Blamire gives the "bad lines" a certain quotability, then douses the rest of the script with genius-level wordplay and banter. By the time he made Dark and Stormy Night (a send-up of 1930s dark old house movies), he perfected his style, using genres as a guideline but making the off-kilter dialogue the main ingredient. He revels in well-written silliness, and well-written silliness is something I most certainly adore.
(Note: Many people have asked me this, so I'll clarify: Inhumanwich! is not meant to be a "bad on purpose" movie. Absurd, yes. Ridiculous, absolutely. But if any part of it sucks, it's our own damn fault.)
And just about every independent project from the last decade. And by "independent," I don't mean a medium budget drama from a studio's arthouse branch. I mean movies made locally, on the cheap, by innovative storytellers taking advantage of available technology. Most of these movies suck, but every so often you find a decent one. Then you find a good one, or, if you're really lucky, something even better. These filmmakers aren't hindered by studio pressure or bosses who don't understand their intent. Creative freedom is a wonderful thing.
So there you have it, the sort of thing I'm "going for." Now if you'll pardon me, I've got this Gamera Blu-ray calling my name…

Walt Disney World May Replace Tomorrowland Speedway with TRON Lightcycle Power Run

While several sites are calling this rumor confirmed, Disney has not made a formal announcement. But yeah, all signs point to this happening.
There has been a lot of speculation and rumors about changes coming to the Tomorrowland area at Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World. One extremely exciting rumor that is looking even more likely is that a TRON Lightcycle Power Run Rollercoaster may be in the works for Tomorrowland. The site for the new attraction is expected to be where Tomorrowland Speedway currently resides, thus resulting in a permanent closure for the attraction. Currently the attraction is rumored to be ready to open around 2021, which would be just in time for Magic Kingdom's 50th Anniversary celebration at the park. Tomorrowland Speedway was an original attraction that opened with the grand opening in 1971, so this would mean one of the original attractions would no longer be in place to pave the way for the next exciting coaster.
TRON Lightcycle Power Run debuted with the opening of Shanghai Disneyland on June 16th, 2016. It is the fastest of any Disney coaster around the globe, reaching over 60 miles per hour. It is a semi-enclosed steel coaster that has you feeling like you are sitting on a cycle while you ride. The attraction has been extremely popular and has received a lot of attention and envy from guests around the world. The addition of this attraction at Walt Disney World would be a huge draw.
Currently there have been no formal announcements from Disney on this possible development or any known permits filed to start development. If this is truly a valid rumor, we are expecting that the development would be announced at the upcoming D23 expo later this month!
What would you all think of this possible development in Tomorrowland? My family is on pins and needles hoping that this one is true!

Sockeye are the most flavorful Pacific salmon. In Washington, sockeye are found in Lake Washington, Baker Lake, Ozette Lake, Quinault Lake, and Lake Wenatchee.
Sockeye are unique in that they require a lake to rear in as fry, so the river they choose to spawn in must have a lake in the system. This seems to be the most important criteria for choosing a spawning ground, as sockeye adapt to a range of water velocities and substrates.
Large rivers that supplied sufficient room for spawning and rearing historically supported huge runs of sockeye, numbering into the millions. One such run still exists today on the Adams River in British Columbia, a tributary to the Fraser River. The Canadian government has built viewing platforms for visitors, and annual runs of over a million sockeye are common.
Juvenile sockeye rear for one or two years in a lake, although they are also found in the inlet and outlet streams of the lake. Sockeye fry are often preyed on by resident lake fish, and because they use freshwater year-round, they are susceptible to low water quality.

Leeds Knights get their reward after battling weekend on the road against Bees IHC and Milton Keynes Lightning
DAVE WHISTLE declared himself proud of his Leeds Knights team after their come-from-behind 5-3 win at Bees IHC - but felt they deserved more from a weekend when they were again substantially short-benched.
By Phil Harrison

A combination of injuries and the unavailability of players on two-way deals with Elite League clubs left Leeds low on bodies going into Saturday's trip to Milton Keynes Lightning, the situation improving slightly in Slough 24 hours later when Manchester Storm forward Harry Gulliver joined the away team bench.
Gulliver may not have contributed in terms of points but his presence just allowed Whistle more flexibility in his lines, easing the pressure on forwards who had already seen plenty of ice the previous evening in a 4-2 defeat.
It may have been Brandon Whistle and Kieran Brown who were the most productive in terms of goals and assists once again - although captain Sam Zajac merits a mention with three assists - but head coach Whistle was pleased with the contribution of his entire team, even if they needed a first intermission 'reminder' as to what was required of them when they found themselves 2-0 down.

"I'm very pleased with that result and the performance," said Whistle. "I felt we came out sluggish and didn't think we had one of our better first periods, so I kind of let them know it and they really came out and played really well in the second.
"We did everything really well, we chipped it in, we were willing to ice the puck when we didn't have the play, we played smart.
"We got what we deserved - we even had guys dumping the puck who wouldn't normally want to dump it and that told me that they were buying in to really make sure we got the win - it was awesome.
"I really wanted to take a point on the Saturday at MK, just as reward for how hard they all worked.

"When you don't get that, you can sometimes get a little bit down and I really believe in helping them back up when they need to be helped back up and telling them when it's not good enough and against Bees, it was one of those moments in the first period break when they needed telling.
"They came out, took the bull by the horns and did a great job - I'm 100 per cent proud of them."
The signs were indeed ominous after the first 20 minutes after Ryan Webb's fifth-minute opener was enhanced by a strike at 17.15 by Bayley Harewood.
But, with Whistle's words presumably ringing in their ears, the Knights came out a different beast in the second, with three goals in five minutes putting them in the driving seat.
Ethan Hehir was first to strike, halving the deficit at 22.12, with a power play strike from Whistle following just over two minutes later.
Just over three more minutes had elapsed when Whistle and Hehir combined to set up Brown to rifle home past Adam Goss to leave the home side reeling.
They eventually restored parity with a Josh Smith strike early in the third, but there was no stopping the Knights, who forged ahead again with Whistle's second of the night at 47.40, centre Matty Davies chipping in at 52.08 to give the visitors some breathing space, which they used well to play out the game without any further difficulties.
Milton Keynes Lightning 4 Leeds Knights 2
THEY might have been down to the bare bones but Leeds Knights came close to upsetting form team Milton Keynes Lightning on Saturday night.
With just four defencemen and seven forwards boarding the bus to Buckinghamshire, head coach Dave Whistle knew his players would have to produce something special if they were to take anything from a game against hosts who came into the clash boasting a six-game winning streak.
Entering the last 10 minutes, the Knights were deservedly level at 2-2, only to go behind to a Liam Stewart piledriver at 50.39 from which they never recovered, eventually losing out 4-2 when Sam Talbot scored an empty-netter with just 42 seconds left on the clock.
It was the hosts who broke the deadlock through former GB international Russell Cowley at 17.21, but the familiar goalscoring duo of Brandon Whistle and Kieran Brown were to hand the visitors the edge early in the second.
Whistle levelled at 23.27 on the power play with Cowley in the box on a four-minute high sticks call, before Brown silenced the home crowd just over three minutes later.
That was how it stayed until the final minute of the period when Sean Norris found a way past Sam Gospel.
Despite their lack of bodies, the Knights continued to frustrate in the third, with Whistle insisting they deserved at least a point for their efforts.
"It was a good game," said Whistle. "We played well and it was a hard way to lose with only nine minutes left when they went ahead, we were kind of hoping to take at least a point there.
"We were playing well defensively, too, had some good scoring opportunities and we didn't capitalise on a couple of them, maybe, and I felt their goalie played well - but we deserved something."

Set in the seemingly Utopian world of Mobius where people from all walks of life reside, living their high school years in bliss over and over in an attempt to escape the pain and suffering of the real world whilst receiving basically anything they wish. The creator of this world a virtual doll by the name of μ (pronounced Mu) who becomes worshiped as an idol. Her songs ease the stress and hatred of the world's residents as they live on unaware that everything around them is fake. That is until our protagonist starts to see the world around him as it really is, and upon having a clearly unsettling panic attack in front of the whole school, takes off in an attempt to return to his real life.
Moving on to the audio now and from a title that sees you beating idols and musicians, it is hard to not imagine this being close to perfect. Fortunately, it delivers in spades with Japanese voice acting and a varied set of BGM, complete with lyrics, that I enjoyed as much as the game itself.
As stated above, fortunately, this game is not a graphic novel or I likely wouldn't have made it past the halfway point. That brings me onto the combat, and I have to admit I fell in love with it from the off. Its both effective and interesting, yet so simple to use well enough to finish the game – yet true mastery will make you unstoppable. Utilizing your emotions, your party will be able to summon weapons from their own hearts and desires to fight through the hordes of enemies that lay before you. The combat relies on a turn-based battle system with a little twist, as after selecting the attack you wish to perform you will see the possible way this attack will play out before confirming you want to take that course of action. However, you can adjust the timing of the attack and chain up to two additional abilities for each of your party. This allows for some interesting battles using your different skills to counter, hit downed or airborne enemies and combo your attacks with another party member (for instance you could use the MC to counter a foes strike 3 seconds after your turn comes around this will cause them to be launched so you couple it with your aerial attack allowing you to juggle them and inflict extra damage only to chain with your next member to do the same again) Utilising the system in this way allows you to counter or continue chains as long as you have SP, allowing you to overwhelm foes.
With all that said you would be forgiven in thinking that your just a little OP, however your not quite so lucky. First off, these battles take place wherever the digihead that notices you grabs you. This can lead not only to the environment being a hindrance, such as a desk or a wall effectively destroying your planned attack, there is also the fact that the world around you goes on as normal – meaning other students or foes may enter the fray and interrupt your attack. whilst the former stand around like they're watching a schoolyard fist fight, they seem to occasionally chuck you a heal though, the latter, however, can join their friends in trying to take you down – meaning a fight with a single foe will quickly see you outnumbered. And if that wasn't perilous enough there is the bane of my existence – NM's. These demons are usually between 10 and 30 levels higher than you, and just off the beaten path, making exploration deadly. I can't count the times I blitzed through wave after wave only to take a right instead of a left and come face to face with a level 50, leaving me to weep as my party in the low 20s got destroyed resulting in a game over. However, that's all you have to deal with for challenges right? Welllll Nope! To add insult to injury the title has no items, at least in terms of consumables, so healing is limited to both your medic and their remaining SP – making tactics even more vital to even the most simple of fights. With all this said, yes the game will punish you, but it rarely feels unfair. You were the one that explored the area your not ready for. You got close to that school kid with giant cannons, a shield, and lance. You got caught up in a fight with around 10 other enemies. To be totally fair sticking to the beaten track I do not recall ever needing to heal and the bosses were even easier than the trash mobs, to be honest.
Up next I have to address something that had put me off with this title, and that's the social system. I honestly can't decide on what side of the fence I stand. It is basically a fusion of Personas social links and Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment's social interactions (only with much better spelling). On the one hand, it's about as basic as you can get, and on the other, there are over 500 potential relationships/party members. Sure, having a social system that gets extra party members (who can be better than the main party as pointed out by the game), get quests and rewards – but 500 plus? Can you imagine having to max 500 full sized social links, never mind writing that much dialog? I mean with the current system you talk to someone 5-6 times and get a line of dialog or two along the lines of "hey listen" "oh it's you" and it goes up a rank. I got bored of it after around 50, another 450 of that I'll pass thanks.
I will say for the main cast its ever so slightly more refined, as after the idle chatting you can get an event depending on how close you are and the story progression. These events touch on their past and the pain they ran from in the real world. While a nice touch, it was unbearable at first and only after I hit rank 5-6 did I actually get invested in their stories and feel like they weren't simply tacked on NPC's – but humans for a game all about emotions and feelings. I'm glad that they were able to convey that, even if it did take a while to get there.
To sum up my time with Caligula effect, I'd have to say despite its slow start the writing eventually come good and the combat managed to keep me playing until it did. Upon reaching that stage its easy to become invested in the cast and story, however, getting there will see a fair amount of the same old same old. It is though relatively easy to just simply zone out and battle through your foes while humming along to the BGM. Whilst it's not quite perfect, it does offer some enjoyment and fans of both Persona and Sword Art Online shouldn't feel too far out of their comfort zone.
The original review came from the Playstation Vita version and was covered by OGUKJAY, for Overdose, I took the lead on this review and for the most part the Vita review holds up for Overdose, I would like to address some changes and my personal feelings on the title in the below section.
The Caligula Effect: Overdose is a remake of the original title, it seems the team behind the game took heed of the complaints of the original title and decided to make some changes for the better. To start with, the visuals are much better and make good use of the Unreal 4 Engine, they aren't quite Persona 5 levels of visual fidelity but they are a massive improvement from what came before.
The Caligula Effect: Overdose is also one of the stronger JRPG experiences you can get on the Nintendo Switch at the moment, outside of the big lads like Final Fantasy and Octopath Traveller, Caligula Effect Overdose offers Switch owners something close enough to Persona to be an acceptable alternative, the handheld aspect of the Switch also allows you to take the grind with you, making 500 friends has never been easier!.
The game features a decent chunk of new content over the original title too, the ability to fight bosses again is a bonus, as mentioned when you actually "Use" the combat system it's insanely rewarding, it's just a shame for the most part you can slap Auto on and insta-win. There are more characters who join the Go-Home-Team, multiple endings, a new story path and the ability to change the gender of the protaganist.
The Caligula Effect: Overdose wears it's inspiration firmly on it's sleeve, this isn't a bad thing as the writing actually goes to extremely satisfying places throughout and the overall astehtic and feel of the game is really enjoyable. The game does feel a little more original on the Switch as it's leading the pack with "High School Based JRPG" titles where as on the Playstation 4 that market is a little more saturated. The game isn't without it's faults, as mentioned the Social Aspect is extremely tacked on, the combat can be lengthy at times but also rewarding when it pays off and if you aren't into J-POP the soundtrack will make your ears bleed. Regardless I am still having a good bit of fun with The Caligula Effect: Overdose and would genuinely suggest newcomers to the series to give it a shot, if you had your fill with the PSVita game or Anime then mileage may vary.

Nawaz Sharif won't return, govt will bring him back: Fawad
"We will bring back the PML-N leader and former prime minister Nawaz Sharif because he himself will never return," Fawad said during a media briefing on the federal cabinet meeting held Tuesday which was presided over by Prime Minister Imran Khan earlier in the day.
The minister told the media that matters regarding Nawaz's return had been settled with Britain to "a great extent".
"We have been addressing the legal lacunas relating to the matter for the last two years. Rest assured, he will not return, but we will bring him back," Fawad said emphatically.
About PML-N leader Ayaz Sadiq's claim about Nawaz Sharif's return, he said that his statement caused a setback to Jati Umra [the residence of the Sharif family], wondering what he was talking about.
Fawad said the cabinet meeting approved formation of a joint investigation committee (JIT) to probe the murder of Nazim Jokhio.
He said the cabinet approved the National Security Policy (NSP) and the policy documents would be made public in 10 days. He pointed out that the economic strategy had also been included in the national security policy and that security could not be guaranteed if your economy was not strong.
The minister said that an important point of the policy was that if the common man was not protected, or he was not satisfied with his economic, social and legal status, then no policy would be successful; therefore it is economy-centric. He contended that the policy was started in 2014 and it was approved in 2021. In the past, the policy was not approved because there was no consensus.
He said that for the first time a government was in place which was capable of soliciting the views of all, and Imran Khan is a prime minister who is trusted by all.
The minister said that the policy also included the policies of internal security, food security and other ministries.
Fawad censures Fazl to give dates to topple PTI govt
He came down hard on the opposition and said Maulana Fazlur Rehman had been giving dates for three years against the government and recalled when the PTI came to power, the Maulana came to Islamabad in the first year of government with 'leftovers'.
The minister said he thought he would overthrow the government, but had been giving a new date every three months; the media should bring out his statements of three years. He emphasised that the opposition was not capable of toppling the government, as it required leadership which they did not have.
"They are only issuing statements to appease their workers. Everybody knows that Imran Khan gave them [the] toughest time while in [the] Opposition," he noted.
Fawad continued that there were daily-wage politicians in the Opposition and they earn their wages. He pointed out that after Rana Shamim's affidavit, it became clear how big a Sicilian mafia Nawaz Sharif & Company is.
"They want to get the cases decided in their favour by putting pressure on courts," he added.
Regarding reports of a 'mini budget', the minister emphasised that it was not a mini budget but the government was making some financial adjustments.
"We have to go to IMF after what Nawaz Sharif and Zardari have done to Pakistan," he added.
He advised the opposition to come up with an alternative to the "mini-budget" instead of merely issuing statements. He added that a bill in that regard would be passed in the current session and it had been initially discussed in the cabinet meeting.
There are reports the cabinet will meet again on Wednesday to further deliberate on the proposed 'mini-budget' and accord approval to it before being taken up in Parliament for consideration and adoption.
The minister said the cabinet meeting was briefed on urea production; agriculture has improved in the last two years, wheat, rice and sugarcane production has become historic, due to which purchase of vehicles, medicines and other items have increased.
He said that now there is a crisis of shortage of fertilizers, the price of fertilizers in the world market has increased by 12%, gas was supplied for urea production in Pakistan even in these two months when gas is not supplied to the urea plant.
Fawad claimed that Pakistan had the highest production of urea this year: At a time when the price of urea in the world market is more than 10,000, the price of urea in Pakistan is between Rs1,700 to 1,800. He added that urea was in short supply in many places due to hoarding and smuggling.
The cabinet, he noted, asked the Punjab government to stop stockpiling of urea, which would not reduce the price but would end the shortage.
The minister said that the appointment of Board of Directors of House Building Finance Company Limited has been approved on the recommendation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which will include Shehzad Naqvi, Faiza Kapadia, Yasmeen Lari, Adnan Ali and Imran Ahad.
The forum has given in-principle approval to the draft for the Intermediate Board Coordination Commission to enhance the verification of documents, liaison and cooperation among all the boards of education. Likewise, an approval has been given to appoint Muhammad Asim as executive to the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA).
He said that Citizen Building F-9 Park was being converted into Gandhara Heritage and Culture Centre and the committee would be headed by the prime minister. He said that Ms Nazia Shaheen and Shabar Abbas had been demanded by the Italian government to be taken into custody for their alleged involvement in a murder in Italy: They will be sent back to Italy.
Fawad said that similarly the UAE had demanded taking Muhammad Usman into custody and action was being taken to send him to the UAE.
He said that on the recommendation of Lahore High Court, approval has been given to shift Banking Court No. 1 from Multan to Dera Ghazi Khan.
Fawad said that approval has been given to set up a 200 million gallon water plant in Gwadar, this is a CPEC project and it will enable the citizens of Gwadar to get clean water.
He said that Dr Shaista Zeeshan has been approved to be appointed as Executive Member National Medical Authority for four years and on the recommendation of Drug Regulatory Authority has been approved to change the composition of three drugs but there will be no change in their selling price.
The minister said that approximately Rs23 million worth of goods, including N95, safety shoes, and dresses, had been approved for Cuba to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
He said that the cabinet has sent the draft of Pakistan Planning and Management Bill 2021 to the committee on the recommendation of the Ministry of Planning.

Why did Thomas Jefferson University & Philadelphia University decide to come together?
This is a combination of two educational institutions focused on creating a national comprehensive university designed to deliver high-impact education and value for students in medicine, science, architecture, design, fashion, textiles, health, business, engineering and more. The new Jefferson creates a unique model focused on interprofessional and transdisciplinary approaches to learning supported by design and systems thinking, innovation, entrepreneurship, empathy, and the modes of thought central to the liberal arts and scientific inquiry. It provides a vibrant and expandable platform for professional education and the ability to prepare students for current and yet-to-be-imagined 21st-century professions. Long before we announced our intent to combine in December 2015, leadership from TJU and PhilaU had met frequently to discuss potential partnership opportunities. It was determined through these conversations that great synergies and complementary programs exist within the distinctive, diverse academic offerings of our two academically and financially strong universities.
Jefferson is recognized as one of the first health professions universities to require students to have hands-on clinical experience in the care and treatment of patients; Philadelphia University is renowned for its experiential, hands-on learning and its commitment to professional education in all areas of study.
Philadelphia University is nationally recognized for its transdisciplinary learning and collaborative discovery; Jefferson is known worldwide as one of the first institutions to develop an interprofessional approach to healthcare education in the U.S.
Together, this allows us to reimagine education and launch our students into the careers of their passion in a bigger, bolder way.
When was the merger of Philadelphia University & Thomas Jefferson University finalized?
The merger of Philadelphia University and Thomas Jefferson University was effective as of July 1, 2017, creating a comprehensive university focused on 21st-century professional education and designed to deliver a high-impact academic experience and value for students in architecture, business, design, fashion, engineering, health, medicine, science, textiles and more.
To finalize the combination, notices were provided or consents obtained from approximately 30 accrediting agencies, including Middle States Commission of Higher Education, the Departments of Education of the United States of America and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the NCAA and the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference.
This integration was initiated in December 2015 when the two universities signed a Letter of Intent, followed in September 2016 with a signed Definitive Agreement to move forward with the combination.
What is the name of the combined University?
The name for the combined institution is Thomas Jefferson University and will be referred to as Jefferson in common usage – Jefferson (Philadelphia University + Thomas Jefferson University).
In considering the name for the combined university, a comprehensive study was conducted that included more than 200 personal interviews and a quantitative survey of 3,100 faculty, staff, alumni, current and prospective students, trustees and hiring managers. The research took into account the important contributions of both universities to the new brand, including Philadelphia University's 133-year reputation for excellence in design, architecture, textiles, engineering, fashion and business, and the nearly 200-year-old Thomas Jefferson University, with world-renowned expertise in the health sciences, research and clinical care. In addition, we have established the Philadelphia University Honors Institute of Thomas Jefferson University.
The name of the combined university is Thomas Jefferson University and will be referred to as Jefferson in common usage. The Honors Program will be housed in one of the newly formed Philadelphia University Honors Institutes. All existing academic programs and degrees from both Universities will continue and many will be expanded.
How will the merger affect academic programs from both institutions?
All existing academic programs—more than 160 in all—and degrees from both legacy universities will continue and many will be expanded. The University is also considering new programs in a variety of disciplines to meet emerging needs that will add value for students and society.
How does a Jefferson education create added value for students?
The new Jefferson provides a unique model for professional education focused on interprofessional and transdisciplinary approaches to learning supported by design and systems thinking, innovation, entrepreneurship, empathy, and the modes of thought central to the liberal arts and scientific inquiry. It provides a vibrant and expandable platform for professional education and the ability to prepare students for current and yet-to-be-imagined 21st-century professions.
Jefferson also is committed to providing students with these critical competencies considered essential to succeed in the workplace both today and in the future: to communicate and collaborate; identify and solve problems; to be creative, diligent and resilient; and to be lifelong learners.
In addition, the combined University has even greater ability to meaningfully expand research and discovery in the spheres of basic, translational, clinical, health policy and applied research. Research faculty already have begun collaborating to create joint grant applications to federal agencies, industry and foundations.
What are the benefits of a combination of Philadelphia University and Thomas Jefferson University for students?
The combination of Philadelphia University with Thomas Jefferson University results in increased visibility and recognition in higher education by creating a world-class, comprehensive university that gives students real-world professional education that prepares them to build successful 21st-century careers.
Jefferson offers several options for our Physician Assistant and Occupational Therapy programs, depending on entry point and campus of interest.

10th Annual Style Awards: The Best Celebrity Shoes
September 6, 2013 • by Roselle Kwan Mariano
The 10th Annual Style Awards kicked off Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Spring 2014 the other day. As expected, a slew of fashionable stars graced the event, from celebrity designer Nicole Richie to stylist-at-large Rachel Zoe. We ended up shoe spotting, of course. There were a lot of pointy pumps at the event, but honestly, only a handful of heels were interesting enough to warrant serious attention.
Check out who and what caught our eye at the 10th Annual Style Awards below. And while your at it, might as well tell us who rocked the best look of the night in your opinion.
1. Bridget Malcolm in Gianvito Rossi
Aussie model Bridget Malcolm opted for a see-through mini dress and finished it with equally transparent pointy-toe PVC heels. From the looks of it, she was sweating in her shoes, too, given the "steam" on the plastic. Nonetheless, the cap-toe pumps were stunning enough to earn her a spot here.

Bridget's pumps are from Gianvito Rossi. They're made from black patent leather and transparent PVC. What you see is what you will get with these shoes, namely pointy cap toes and super slim heels that are 4 inches tall. Do you think it's ever possible to rock a pair without sweating in them?

2. Kate Upton in Jimmy Choo
Kate Upton, who was named Model of the Year at the event, kept her look classy in a black Altuzarra dress and bordeaux-hued Jimmy Choo pumps. We couldn't tell if the pair was the "Anouk" or the "Abel," but we're guessing it was the latter. Do you think our hunch is correct?

3. Lily Aldridge in Louis Vuitton
Lily Aldridge wore Louis Vuitton from head to toe. She finished a sporty-looking sequined tee dress with white bow-tip pumps that feature extra pointy toes. The pair also comes with really narrow block heels. Her shoes look vintage yet modern — the kind of shoes we here at YNS would love to grab and keep for the rest of our shoe-holic lives.

4. Lindsay Ellingson in Nude Peep-Toe Pumps
Victoria's Secret angel, Lindsay Ellingson, was ravishing in a bright red frock that she finished with nude laser-cut-detailed peep-toe pumps. Truth be told, the first time we saw the pair, we were ready to turn away because it didn't exactly look extra special from a distance. However, thank goodness we made an effort to do a close inspection because they're gorgeous! Can you help us ID them?

5. Nicole Richie in Vivienne Westwood
Nicole Richie wore a well-decorated Antonio Berardi top-and-trousers set and finished the edgy look with triple-strap platform Mary Janes from Vivienne Westwood. The tastemaker was definitely ahead of the game with her fashion-forward style — a risky choice that reaped quite a good number of nods.

6. Julie Macklowe in Gold Sneakers
Who could miss socialite Julie Macklowe, who attended the event in head-to-toe gold?!
We're talkin' serious gold here — a gold strapless long layered frock paired with gold dangling earrings and gold sneakers. You probably will never find us in the same outfit, but we have to admit that she looked like she was having a really great time wearing those comfortable shoes.

Honestly, we have yet to find out where she scored the glimmering pair, but just in case you want her sneakers, here's a neat option from Steve Madden that will easily give you the fix:

Q: If $X$ is a non empty closed subset of $\mathbb{R}$ and $Y = [1,2]$ then $X+Y$ is closed. If $X$ is a non empty closed subset of  $\mathbb{R}$ and  $Y = [1,2]$ then $X+Y$ is closed?
How to show this?
I know that sum of two closed set may not be closed. But how to prove this? Can anyone give me a hint?

A: Suppose $x_n \in X,y_n \in [1,2]$ and $x_n +y_n \to z$. Since $[1,2]$ is compact there is  a subsequence $y_{n_{k}}$ which converges to some point $y$ in $[1,2]$. But $x_{n_{k}}+y_{n_{k}} \to z$ so $x_{n_{k}} \to z-y$. Since $X$ is closed, $z-y \in X$. It follows that $z= \lim (x_{n_{k}}+y_{n_{k}}) =(z-y)+y \in X+Y$.

A: And an answer to the second part of your question.
Let $X=\{2,3,4,\ldots\}$, $Y=\{y:y=-n+\frac1n, n=2,3,4,\ldots\}$. They are closed, but in their sum there is a set $\{\frac1n:n=2,3,4, \ldots\}$ but not $0$.

TV PRIEST – " Press Gang "
Tags: Alex Sprogis, Charlie Drinkwater, Ed Kelland, London, Nic Bueth, Sub Pop Records, TV Priest, Uppers
It's tempting to think that you have all the answers, screaming your gospel every day with certainty and anger. Life isn't quite like that though, and the debut album from London four-piece TV Priest instead embraces the beautiful and terrifying unknowns that exist personally, politically and culturally.
Posing as many questions as it answers, "Uppers" is a thunderous opening statement that continues the UK's recent resurgence of grubby, furious post-punk music. It says something very different though – something completely its own. Four childhood friends who made music together as teenagers before drifting apart and then, somewhat inevitably, back together late in 2019, TV Priest was born out of a need to create together once again, and brings with it a wealth of experience and exhaustion picked up in the band's years of pursuing "real life" and "real jobs," something those teenagers never had.
In November 2019, the band – vocalist Charlie Drinkwater, guitarist Alex Sprogis, bass and keys player Nic Bueth, and drummer Ed Kelland – played their first show, to a smattering of friends in what they describe as an "industrial freezer" in the warehouse district of Hackney Wick. "It was like the pub in Peep Show with a washing machine just in the middle…" Charlie laughs, Unsurprisingly, there isn't a precedent for introducing an album during a global pandemic, but among the general sense of anxiety and unease pervading everything at the moment, TV Priest's entrance in April with the release of debut single "House of York" – a searing examination of the Monarchy – served as a breath of fresh air among the chaos, its anger and confusion making some kind of twisted sense to the nation's fried brains.
It's the same continued global sense of anxiety that will greet the release of Uppers, and it's an album that has a lot to say right now. Taking musical cues from The Fall and Protomartyr as well as the mechanical, pulsating grooves of Kosmische Musik, it's a record that moves with an untamed energy. Over the top of this rumbling musical machine is vocalist Charlie, a cuttingly funny, angry, confused, real frontman.
"Decoration," Uppers' center-piece, has a streamlined groove soundtracking Charlie's lyrical vignettes that captures the absurdity and mundanity of life. Its opening and closing line ("I've never seen a dog do what that dog does") is a misremembered quote by Simon Cowell about a performing dog on Britain's Got Talent. Charlie says, "We often said it in the studio as a kind of in-joke when someone did something good or unexpected. Having already toyed around with the 'Through to the next round' line,' this seemed too good to leave out." And the chorus "It's all just decoration" is credited to 2-year old niece of Alex's fiancé, who reassured him after he pretended to be scared by Halloween decorations.
"Press Gang" is inspired by Charlie's grandfather's life's work as a photojournalist and war correspondent on the UK's Fleet Street from the 1950s to the early 1980s. The song is about the shifting role in the dissemination of information and ideas, and how the prevailing narrative that the "Death of Print Media" has contributed to a "post truth" world.
Album closer "Saintless" is the most personal and raw moment on Uppers. Charlie wrote a note to his son after his birth, following a difficult period his wife had faced during and after the pregnancy. The song is about how as parents we're fallible and human, and while the world can be a difficult place at times the one thing that gets you through is giving your love to those that need and appreciate it. "Saintless" rides a motorik beat, with guitars, bass and synths building layers of intensity and emotion that replicate and swell with the message of the track.
Uppers sees TV Priest explicitly and outwardly trying to avoid narrowmindedness. Uppers sees TV Priest taking musical and personal risks, reaching outside of themselves and trying to make sense of this increasingly messy world. It's a band and a record that couldn't arrive at a more perfect time.
"Press Gang" is Out now – our new one from our album 'Uppers', out on Sub Pop Records next month. "Uppers" It's about Charlie's grandad, news cycles, truth, chip paper, and information. It's also pretty loud. Lots of love to Joe Wheatly for another wild ride making the video & big love to all the crew who helped us out over a very cold weekend.

BLACK COUNTRY NEW ROAD – " Science Fair "
Posted: January 6, 2021 in MUSIC
Tags: Black Country New Road, Charlie Wayne, For The First Time, Georgia Ellery, Isaac Wood, Lewis Evans, London, Luke Mark, May Kershaw, Tyler Hyde
Born of the same South London scene that's produced the likes of black midi, PVA and Squid, white-hot septet, Black Country New Road found their band name using a random Wikipedia page generator. The transparent artifice of that is actually fitting: With only three singles to their rather unwieldy name, including 2019's "Athens, France" and "Sunglasses," and this year's "Science Fair," the U.K. up-and-comers are growing and changing before our eyes, already reimagining the few songs they've released for their debut album For the first time, due out February 5th, 2021. Frontman Isaac Wood's hypnotic speak-singing shifts subtly away from "speak" and towards "sing" on the album, so as to more effectively meld with the band's mercurial instrumental outbursts. Their thunderous post-punk, spiked with discordant jazz, feels both explosively raw and carefully, ingeniously crafted.
Our new single, 'Science Fair' is out today with a new video directed by Bart Price.
The post-punk scene has been nothing but great so far… Idles, Shame, Black Midi, Sorry, Fontaines D.C, Protomartyr, Iceage, Parquet Courts, Guerrilla Toss, SQUID, Shopping, Viagra Boys, Ought… and now Black Country New Road ..2021 is going to be a great year
After just two singles they were declared "the best band in the world" by The Quietus, with glowing reviews from The New York Times, NPR, and The Guardian. Debut album, 'For the First Time' is due on 5th February 2021. Black Country New Road is Lewis Evans (saxophonist), May Kershaw (keys), Charlie Wayne (drums), Luke Mark (guitar), Isaac Wood (vocals/guitar), Tyler Hyde (bass) and Georgia Ellery (violin)

CHARMPIT – " Cause A Stir "
Posted: November 29, 2020 in ALBUMS, MUSIC
Tags: Cause A Stir, Charmpit, London, Specialist Subject Records, UK
Debut album on Specialist Subject from the partly California-raised 'anarcuties' Charmpit. Quietly subversive cultural politics with a barrelful of musical sugar to ease the medicine down. File under femme, not twee (then burn the filing system; they're anarchists). "Cause A Stir" by Charmpit (by Emma Prew) London via California DIY pop(star) punk band Charmpit are gearing up to release their much anticipated debut full-length on the 3rd of April. Titled Cause A Stir, the album is being released by the always excellent Specialist Subject Records and follows on from Charmpit's previous releases on Keroleen Records and Everything Sucks.
This London x California 4 piece, Charmpit, deliver Pop(star) Punk in a queer, DIY "Anarcutie" package. Through playful harmonies, sparkling guitar and to-the-point lyrics, they place a high value on friendship, the power of femme, and FUNctional social justice politics. Their debut LP Cause A Stir is a shining showcase of powerful song-writing twisted up in their hot couture and glittering vision. Charmpit got their start in 2016 during the DIY Space For London's 'First Timers' project; an annual series of workshops, skill-shares and first time performances that 'celebrates demystification' and pours fresh, diverse, new talent into the UK music scene. They are what 'First Timers' dreams are made of! Releasing their first 7" vinyl single,

DRY CLEANING – " Scratchcard Lanyard "
Posted: November 28, 2020 in MUSIC
Tags: Dry Cleaning, Florence Shaw', Lewis Maynard, London, Nick Buxton, Tom Dowse
London-based band Dry Cleaning have shared their new single "Scratchcard Lanyard," which also serves as their debut release with 4AD Records and should appear on their debut album, which is on the horizon soon.
The band has shared the creative music video for the song which marks the directorial debut of artist duo Rottingdean Bazaar which sees vocalist Florence Shaw singing in a miniature nightclub that is shot in a stylistic fashion. The song itself is a compelling art-punk rock effort that has some sharp angular guitar riffs that perfectly set the table for Shaw's delivery that feels like a mix between Protomartyr, U.S. Girls and Parquet Courts. All good things.
'Scratchcard Lanyard' is a treatise on the joy of life's little pleasures, where air fresheners become mighty oaks and Instagram filters are glamourous holiday destinations. The South London band explain further – "In the search for your true calling in life, it's easy to try so many things that you end up confused. It can lead to an enormous build-up of frustration. You may fantasise about exacting revenge upon your real or imagined enemies. Ephemeral things and small-scale escapist experiences can provide some relief!"
The companion video for 'Scratchcard Lanyard' riffing on the song's celebration of the humdrum – inserts vocalist Florence Shaw into her own miniature night club. Rottingdean Bazaar are artists James Theseus Buck and Luke Brooks. Their work includes design, creative direction and fine art practices, and the duo live and work in Rottingdean, East Sussex in the UK.
Dry Cleaning is Nick Buxton (drums), Tom Dowse (guitar), Lewis Maynard (bass) and Florence Shaw (vocals). Firm friends for years, they only started making music after a karaoke party in 2017 inspired a collaboration. They wrote instrumentally to begin with and six months later Shaw, a university lecturer and picture researcher by day, joined on vocals with no prior musical experience.
Dry Cleaning's music is simple – direct and uncomplicated. The Feelies, the Necessaries, the B52s and Pylon all served as inspirations when the band first came together. The small and intimate garage / rehearsal space had a huge influence on the sound; both of last year's EPs Boundary Road Snacks and Drinks and Sweet Princess were written here. The quartet have finished work on their debut album, with details to follow soon.
Dry Cleaning share the song 'Scratchcard Lanyard', the group's first release on 4AD Records.
SAULT – " Untitled (Black Is) "
Tags: 5, 7, Forever Living Originals, London, Sault, UK
Sault and the incredible 'untitled (black is)' double album from the band of mystery themselves has just this minute landed!
Mystery is a rare commodity in rock and pop these days. The internet has made investigative journalists of us all, and an artist who expends a lot of effort creating an enigmatic aura will almost invariably find themselves revealed online. So hats off to Sault, who managed to release two albums in 2019 – titled "5" and "7" – without anyone managing to conclusively solve the puzzle of who was behind them.
The incredibly elusive band Sault released their debut album "5" on Vinyl via independent record label Forever Living Originals. The record fuses African, soul, funk and post-punk vibes amongst other flavours. With support from Radio 6's Lauren Laverne and USA's KWRC and KEXP, the band are set to go from strength to strength becoming one of the most prolific bands of 2020 with a barrage of material up their sleeves.
It was not for want of trying. Some people suggested the involvement of a London-based musician called Dean Josiah, whose CV boasts co-writing and production credits for Michael Kiwanuka, the Saturdays and Little Simz – the last of whom raved about Sault on social media. Others have posited that British soul singer Cleo Sol and Chicago-based rapper and sometime Kanye West collaborator Kid Sister – both signed to Sault's label, Forever Living Originals – are the vocalists. But no one has confirmed or denied anything. Sault's 2019 release is an incredibly strong collection of tracks, a near perfect blend of Soul and Post-Punk aesthetics that works powerfully and seamlessly together.
Political and thought provoking, "5" challenges existing structures and forms while simultaneously keeping listeners moving and dancing.
Without pausing for breath and hot on the heels of their exhilarating debut album 5, the elusive Sault returned with their sophomore full length titled 7. The signature hybrid of funk, dance, post-punk, soul and disco is front and centre once again, confidently delivered with their typical fearless nature. If 5 had you out of your seat, 7 will have you dancing in the streets….Spread the word, Sault are back at it!. "7" is a great album with strong percussion and vocals, tight production and solid song writing, really great music that's catchy, accessible, and all around awesome…
Released September 27th, 2019
You can understand why people are intrigued, because both of Sault's albums are fantastic, walking an idiosyncratic path that zig-zags between ESG-esque post-punk funk, early 80s boogie and something approaching neo-soul, without ever really fitting into any of those categories or sounding like straightforward homage. Whoever is on drums is clearly a big fan of Can's Jaki Liebezeit: their playing adds a strange, hypnotic intensity to tracks even as laidback and sunlit sounding as 5's We Are the Sun. Elsewhere, the dubbed-out spaciness of the production consistently gives everything a weird, disorientating edge, no matter how poppy the melodies get. The mysterious Sault returned with album number three that was announced when the whole album was played on BBC 6 Music's Gilles Peterson's show. This is the most essential album for 2020. The 18 track album is an absolute joy whilst delivering a powerful message. Each tracks title nods towards revolution, expression and a celebration of black culture. The sound once again mixes R&B, funk, soul and hip-hop together. For fans of classic soul, ESG and groove.
For all the sparseness of the arrangements – drums and bass, the odd wash of electric piano or blast of fuzzed-out guitar and synth – Sault seem as interested in writing songs as constructing grooves. Virtually every track is concise and to the point, rarely tipping over four minutes, and even the furthest-out moments – 7's Red Lights or 5's warped closer BABE – come with really powerful hooks woven through them. The net result feels simultaneously exploratory and confident, a really appealing, intriguing combination. Whoever they are, Sault sound like they know what they're doing.
ADULKT LIFE – " Book of Curses "
Tags: Adulkt Life, Chris Rowley, John Arthur Webb, London, UK
Depending on your definition of "supergroup," Adulkt Life are either a handpicked ensemble of some of the U.K.'s most fondly recalled punk acts—spanning the culty riot grrrl of Huggy Bear to the overcast take on West Coast American garage rock of Male Bonding—or just another collection of nobodies who stumbled into each other's lives at a record store. Either way, Book of Curses sounds as complex as its individual band members' back stories, fusing the influences of grunge, post-punk, and post-hardcore icons like Flipper, Wipers, and Nation of Ulysses with modern sensibilities.
With their debut record out today, Chris Rowley—co-vocalist for Huggy Bear coming off a quarter-century musical hiatus—gave us an enlightening and frequently cryptic breakdown of each of the record's tracks, touching upon moral decency, "hopelessfullness," and raising kids in a world that struggles with such concepts. Reading Rowley's scattered thoughts on the project, that silent "K" in the band's name starts to make a little more sense.
1. "Country Pride"
Simply put, it's an escape song, it's the embodiment of too much casual racism and sexism and the need to stop accepting it as part of your day-to-days' poisons that's not going to kill you necessarily but… We should all get a sense of humor, right?
It's a reverse-engineered anthem with all the jingoistic bits and flag-waving burned and buried—our protagonists aren't ideally suited in a perfect world, but as we said, it's a messed up one, so tradeoffs in car parks and behind supermarkets better count for something!?
2. "JNR Showtime"
Maybe we're becoming too mistrustful or cynical about decency and morals and goodness in the world!? The little things that used to give us hope and make us want to love our neighbors—working for a children's charity for a good few years we've heard and seen some stories you would not want in your head…and having children myself you can't help but become more repelled and vigilante in your thinking however wrong this is to admit. The scumminess of wrongness turned out to be shown for what it is. Cowards and liars should be scared. Always hurts to play this dark rager out, but that's what you do with poison, innit? Suck then spit!
3. "Whistle/Country"
John's guitar part translated to the drums and bass so quickly it unlocked a feeling in the room as we practiced it. It's a plea for authenticity, whatever that means, a song about illusions or cutting through bullshit. Who knows, it's a series of images linked to what it says in the lyrics—old guys round fires, wanting to be real/looking from a slightly (?) younger point at experience and rich lives lived. But who decides what that is, and if things are tough like they have been for us at points? Is anything better? But this is optimistic, a stone skimmer for the lost generations…
4. "Taking Hits"
This is the Adulkt Life (please don't worry about pronouncing the "K") "battle anthem." We needed to write a song that lifted us up, and the KO'd and arisen scream for deliverance got us there. We were and are a lot of the time about boxing—fights, failures, movies, writing—and this became our backdrop, complete losers (as the idealistic and too sensitive can be) finding a glint or glimmer of something to believe in again! We've traded the Joyce Carol Oates book around us a good few rounds, so this is a thanks to no one and for nothing.
5. "Flipper"
I used to love the weird second Flipper album Gone Fishing and really didn't understand it in the context of what I was listening to at the time, and it's haunted me a bit with my probable misreadings.
Anyway, John wrote a guitar part that was akin to how I thought the Flipper record was. So it had the subterranean feel and we knew it was going to be a sodium light noir journey of a track, episodic and about revenge, making do, looking after family but risking it all because of your postcode or what yer famz do. The clapping coda is the triumph in the murk if you like…and so we had to name it "Flipper" in homage.
6. "Stevie K"
Kevin's bass tearing into this idea with Sonny rocking after him set the touch paper for a cyclone of a track that John sabotages beautifully from a chronological sense with feedback lacunas. It's meant to be a mod anthem, but who cares about the mods anymore anyway?
So it's a cool song for Steve Kroner from Nation of Ulysses, a band that we loved and that was ruined for regular life by (they were/are just "too much") and wanted to cast Kroner as a catcher-in-the-rye type figure, literally beyond good and evil…ice-cream under the pier as bottles fly.
7. "Room Context"
One of the first Adulkt Life songs that sort of arrived fully formed—a paranoia anthem casting spells and occulting damage against those who would trespass against us. The album was originally called "Deliver Us From Evil" for a host of reasons we won't go into. "Room Context" is against power structures and authority charlatanism. It's for misfits and outcasts, it reminds me a bit of, like, a record biz version of the De Palma movie The Fury, but I'll get over that in a week or two. Being an older band, I felt not just like we'd be tarred with an ageist brush maybe, but there were whole swathes of audiences/fans who were not allowed or were shunned from feeling part of something. We don't hate "the kids," but we definitely don't get them anymore.
8. "Move"
In the context of feeling separated from activism or rebellion or underground action, because of age or class or gender roles, I tried to write a Wipers song for the disenfranchised using the Kelly Reichardt film Night Moves as the inspirational germ for the narrative. I say all this loosely, but we're all big film fans and lovers of cinema discourse in Adulkt Life, and that film/filmmaker is "the bomb" as they say—and aptly—here. To move forward we have to get rid of guilt impulses and relationships to past failures or success/require new dialogue. The changes in this are always hard to play if you've seen us play the two times so far we have. You'll know what I'm talking about.
9. "Clean (But Itchy)"
This was Sonny's defining moment in the young Adulkt Life story. His epic movement of boulders and rock face to scrape and bash this wild styler into shape. John was conducting hot lab sources and Sonny went after him with little concern for his well being. Maybe you can hear this? It's a lovers' quarrel played out large—the worst curses, the can't-take-it-back moments, the no apologies stuff all rolled into one, but perversely it all sounds weirdly sexy, too. Who would've thought?
10. "New Curfew"
This ends the Adulkt Life record Book of Curses. Everyone—well, the three people that've heard it—think it's strangely prophetic, and that we were ahead of a curve with prophesying this one, out of the sound dust and word play. Who would've wanted to predict where we are now, for goodness sakes, so this is an urban/suburban paean to disappointment, fear, hopelessfullness. In the face of age and responsibilities—the law, your belief/our belief in it, or turning away from it—at a certain point we/you will be replaced and our energies and counter intuitions gone. When you have children of your own or are around kids, you'll know. They are the future, whether you like it or not. It's a parents' prayer in the smoke and petrol.
Adulkt Life's debut LP Book Of Curses available November 11th.
HEY COLOSSUS – " Dances / Curses "
Tags: Dances / Curses, Hey Colossus, Joe Thompson, London, Robert Davis., UK, Wrong Speed Records
It will likely turn a few heads that 'The Mirror', a dark, brooding track around halfway through this latest from Hey Colossus, features an appearance by the one and only Mark Lanegan. A bonafide alternative rock titan, his reputation for collaborative work is well known, but so are his exacting standards. Only working with the best, the fact he's even here says volumes about where this shapeshifting, hardcore-cum-post punk noisemakers are at.
Dances / Curses is loud when it needs to be, for example the growling riffs of Tied In A Firing Line, or the stadium-filling, doom-laden frenzy of Dead Songs For Dead Sires, but isn't afraid of intimacy either. Stylites In Reverse's delicate melodies, or Blood Red Madrigal's hazy, woozy, melancholic air. A broad brushstroke that confirms Hey Colossus are among the most vital we've currently got.
Hey Colossus is an English rock band formed in London in 2003. Since its inception, the band has undergone several line-up changes, revolving around founding members Joe Thompson and Robert Davis. Longterm Hey Colossus fan Mark Lanegan makes an appearance amidst the languid and sun-soaked denouement of 'The Mirror', the existential gravitas of his tones entirely at home in these revelatory surroundings.
The band is characterised by its 'heavy' sound, DIY ethic, prolific output, and stylistic experimentation.
New double album 'Dances / Curses' on Ltd Clear 2LP/2CD/DL released on November 6th via Wrong Speed Records (UK/Euro) & Learning Curve Records (US).
The LEFT OUTSIDES – " Are You Sure I Was There? "
Tags: Alison Cotton, Are You Sure I Was There?, London, Mark Nicholas, The Left Outsides, UK
At last, a new studio album from superb London duo, The Left Outsides, to follow up on 2018's amazing All That Remains.
The basic building blocks remain the same — half of the sound is Alison Cotton and her viola and keys, the other half is Mark Nicholas with a stunning array of guitars — but the structures they create this time are darker and more forbidding than their antecedents. This album feels very much a piece of the season in which it is being released, as the leaves strip themselves from trees and the sky grows colder, greyer by the hour. More than once while "Are You Sure I Was There" spun I was put in mind of the classic Rainy Day LP, masterminded by Kendra Smith back in 1984. The Left Outsides possess the same sure grasp of that place where sorrow, ecstasy and psychedelics meet in a shower of dying stars.
The tunes here are wonderful. Most are new, although a few have been heard before in different forms (if you knew where to listen.) "The Wind No Longer Stirs the Trees" (with its glorious blend of backwards and forward motion) was on a 7" lathe, backed with "As Night Falls" (a beautiful ode to the promise of winter.) The track "Seance" was first recorded as part of a celebration of Help the Witch, the debut novel by former music critic Tom Cox (whose words were used for most of the lyrics.) And "My Reflection Once Was Me" (which recalls The Trees' epic tunes by combining massive blocks of raging guitar with Alison's steady vocals) was featured on the live A Place to Hide LP.
The other compositions are all-new and utterly great. The tunes that Mark sings tend to evoke a certain '60s whisp. Whether it's the Floydian lilt of "Only Time Will Tell," the freakbeat pop of "November on My Mind," or "Pictures of You," which stacks a dreamy '60s overlay upon contempo pop structuring. Alison's vocals often display a more folky essence. "The Stone Barn" has a vibe very similar to some of Sandy Denny's later solo work, grounded by stately piano chords. "Things Can Never Be the Same" centers on a gorgeous mid-paced vocal performance, encased in spinning webs of very elegant guitar. And the conjoined vocals on "A Face in the Crowd," sit atop a huge fuzz riff, sounding like the perfect anthem for the new Slow Music Movement. They wont back down!.
And you shouldn't either. I'm not exactly sure where anyone gets their records these days but wherever that is, you should march there tout de suite (even if only figuratively) and demand a copy of Are You Sure I Was There? today. And yes, I am sure. Today!
HUMBLE PIE – " Official Bootleg Collection Volume 2 " Record Store Day 2020

Following last year's Humble Pie's "Official Bootleg Collection Volume 1" double LP comes the "Official Bootleg Collection Volume 2", collating rare and previously (officially) unreleased live shows that were illicitly recorded between 1971 and 1981.
Originally emerging from the remnants The Small Faces, Humble Pie formed in 1969 when guitarist and vocalist Steve Marriott joined forces with Peter Frampton, drummer Jerry Shirley and bassist Greg Ridley, and began their assent to conquering the theatres and then arenas of North America, culminating in 1972's double live "Performance: Rockin' The Filmore". Frampton left in 1971 for a highly successful solo career, replaced by Colosseum's Clem Clempson, and it was this line-up that was captured in New York in 1971 at one of Clem's first shows with the Pie.
The extemporisations of "Performance: Rockin' The Filmore" became the basis for much of Humble Pie's live repertoire for the remainder of the 1970s, but this 1971 New York show does include their unique take of Eddie Cochran's 'C'mon Everybody' and 'I Wonder' from the soon to be released "Smokin'" LP. Side Two find The Pie backed up by the soulful backing vocals of The Blackberries; Venetta Fields, Clydie King & Billie Barnum, who appear on 'Oh La-De-Da', 'I Don't Need No Doctor' and '30 Days In The Hole' Humble Pie split in 1975 following their Street Rats LP, but not before Side Three's Philadelphia show on March 15, 1975, featuring 'Four Day Creep' and 'I Don't Need No Doctor'.
The Pie would eventually reform for 1980's "On To Victory" comeback record, this time with a line-up featuring Bobby Tench from the Jeff Beck Group on guitar and vocals and bassist Anthony "Sooty" Jones. Side Four from Privates Club, N.Y.C. on March 25, 1981 features the epic 23 minute take of '30 Days in the Hole' / 'I Walk on Gilded Splinters'.
Housed in a gatefold sleeve, as well as plenty of rare memorabilia, the booklet features an essay from based on new interviews with Pie drummer, Jerry Shirley.
Whilst every effort has been made to produce the best possible audio, limitations in the material drawn from various, non-standard, and un-official sources means that the quality may not be up to the standard usually expected. All tracks have been included for their historical importance, and to present an anthology of Humble Pie live on stage from 1971- 1981.
The Official Bootleg Collection Volume 2 is a raw testament to what this band did best; playing bluesy, gutsy, soulful hard rock, live on stage.
Drawn from a variety of mainly audience recordings that have previously only been available as "under the counter" pirate releases, this is an honest, often unforgiving, tribute to a classic and much missed '70s supergroup. Housed in a gatefold sleeve, the artwork features two essays, one of which is based on new interviews with Humble Pie drummer, Jerry Shirley.


Here we see in Jacob's last days he is giving the answers to life: it's the LORD who provides! All the answers we seek can be found in the LORD. The closer we get to the end of this life's journey, the thing that matters the most is the LORD!
The LORD always comes through in due time, really right on time!
Today, don't focus on the problem, but focus on the LORD! Jacob didn't say walk in the world, but instead walk with the LORD, He has it all under control and all we have to do is walk with Him! Have a blessed day walking with the LORD!

Over the last year and a half I have gone to each workday hoping to be asked to do strenuous, getting-dirty work, show some ingenuity, and—use power tools! In my head I am a forty-something D.I.Y. kind of guy (hello reality check), but mostly, like many, I just like feeling useful. Last Saturday was a success in that regard. We were all industrious in various ways, but more importantly the workday was a success.
I got there by 9:30 a.m. and there were already quite a few ICCers present (or Turtles, as they are known, although to this day the reason why an animal that looks like a turned-over canoe was chosen to be our mascot and namesake still escapes me). We marched to La Marina and took possession of the place. Here were the already somewhat assembled 12-foot by 16-foot frames, the big piles of different sized boards, the black floaters, the hardware, the tools, the cords, the chargers, the clearly marked "Christmas Decorations" bucket for easy-to-lose bits (literally) and pieces, the gloves. The work had been painstakingly planned out by the master builders. The weather was pleasant, as was the view of the river encompassing our boathouse. The mood was jolly. Work began in earnest, and the various levels of skill and eagerness were woven into a beautiful team effort.
One of the things that, to my mind, made a difference is that Mystery Steve was injured. Not being able to do stuff himself, he had to explain very clearly what was expected, give the scope of work, detail the thinking behind the goals, and supervise. Not that I don't wish him a prompt recovery, but "I am going to be a stickler about impact drills" or "we are going to flip the whole thing without rocking the hardware" would not have had the same ring coming from a man who could use both his hands.


The Sanskrit term "Ayur" means life or longevity and "veda" means knowledge. Hence, Ayurveda means Science of Life. Ayurveda is regarded as the twin sister of yoga, which has been practiced in India for over 5000 years as a true science of healing to restore the balance of the body and eliminate diseases at their roots. According to the World Health Organization, Ayurvedic Medicine and Pure Herbs are used in order to clean and detoxifying the body and mind.
We at Arogyadham Ayurveda Treatment Centre (or Arogyadham Clinic), have a lineage of more than 100 years in healthcare started by the Late Dr. G. R. Agarwal. He was later joined by Ayurved Siromani Vaidya Late Sh. V. C. Agarwal. Since 1982, Arogyadham Clinic has been run by Vaidyaratnam Dr. Rakesh Agarwal (Ayurvedic Sexologist Doctor) and Ayurvedacharya Dr. Neelam Agarwal (Ayurvedic Gynecologist). In 2005, Doctors Agarwal were joined by their two sons Yogi Dr. Amrit Raj and Dr. Arjun Raj. The Arogyadham Family is indebted to the Late Vaidyaraj Ayurveda Shiromani Shri V.C. Agarwal, father of Dr. Rakesh Agarwal, who provided them with divine grace and blessings.
In our Ayurvedic and Herbal Treatment sessions, we always try to give the best possible solutions to resolve all the diseases of our valuable patients reaching to us from the various cities of India by using 100% Pure Herbs and Ayurvedic Medicines as well as Yoga Practices under the supervision of Vaidyaratam Dr. Rakesh Agarwal (Ayurvedic Sexologist Doctor).

For over 120 years and 4 generations, the Arogyadham Family has provided Ayurvedic services and treatments to communities worldwide. Since 1982, Vaidyaratnam Dr. Rakesh Agarwal, Dr. Neelam Agarwal, Yogi Dr. Amrit Raj and Dr. Arjun Raj, have carried on those traditions by supporting patients in their health, personal and spiritual growth, and teaching patients how to take more responsibility for their health and their own life.
We have made it our mission to preserve the tradition and diverse knowledge of Yoga and Ayurveda in our own culture, and have helped shape how these rich time-tested sciences are received around the world. In our work, traditional knowledge and experience meet modern science. According to our understanding, this marriage of ancient Vedic wisdom and Western science contributes to social transformation, the basis for personal, community and spiritual reform.
The individual and his experiences are always at the center of our attention and intention. Therefore, all are distinguished by the individualized approach and personal contact that we have with our patients and students. We have an excellent team of qualified lecturers and therapists, with decades of training and private practice experience.
It is particularly important to us to highlight the many ways in which we partner with our patients to improve their health and vitality, and prevent diseases and disorders. Our approach is based on Salutogenesis, an approach focusing on factors that support human health and well-being, rather than on factors that cause disease (pathogenesis). This approach includes providing nutritional advice, recommendations for behavior and lifestyle, instructing students in appropriate exercise and breathing, teaching effective relaxation techniques, strengthening social interaction, guiding patients in self-knowledge through meditation. During meditation, our intention is for the student to become conscious of action, behavior and thought patterns that have a negative influence on well-being and impede health choices, such as exercise. Thus, the self-efficacy of each individual is enhanced.
For therapeutic work, we like to take our time to determine the current status of the patient and prepare a reasonable, personalized treatment plan. After a detailed survey and investigation, we choose from a range of treatments, the most appropriate for you that will help you to achieve the individualized goal of therapy in stages. Since failure has several factors, our approach is multimodal, i.e., we combine various treatment methods to attain a successful therapeutic outcome, e.g., physiological analysis, manual therapeutic measures, change in diet, providing supplements, exercise, breathing and meditation. These approaches are tailored specifically for each patient towards the successful treatment of chronic diseases.
Arogyadham Ayurvedic Treatment Center is a center forVedic Studies where scientists partner with a team of expert therapists to perform research in support of CHARAKA, a randomized clinical study. CHARAKA is an ongoing interventional study, which utilizes the Charaka Samhita (written circa 4th-century CE), a foundational Hindu text of Ayurveda, which has survived from ancient India, as the basis for our inquiry. The Charaka Samhita consists of eight books and one hundred twenty chapters describing ancient theories on human body, etiology, symptomology and therapeutics for a wide range of diseases; and emphasizes the use of traditional Ayurvedic and herbal medicines to treat such chronic conditions as knee osteoarthritis and other chronic conditions.
The Charaka Samhita also includes sections on the importance of diet, hygiene, prevention, medical education, the teamwork of a physician, nurse and patient necessary for recovery to health. . The aim of the study was to find out whether the Ayurvedic medical treatment approach is as successful as standard conventional therapies in treating chronic conditions. Our center is recognized by the Indian health ministry (AYUSH).
The scientific studies conducted at Arogyadham Clinic contribute to validating knowledge systems like Yoga and Ayurveda, thereby legitimizing their effectiveness in treating a wide range of conditions. The scientific evidence that comes from our research is vital to establishing Yoga and Ayurveda as a viable option for treatment of chronic conditions and patient care, and is intended for dissemination to healthcare institutions globally. Arogyadham Clinic is an advocate for healthcare reform and increased awareness of alternative treatment options. We at Arogyadham Clinic therefore promote educating people with the positive effects of Yoga and Ayurveda.
We offer group or individual lessons, outpatient Panchakarma or our Yoga and Ayurveda training. We are happy to inspire you with our diverse offerings, and our support. We welcome you on your health journey!

Northern Ireland: abortion statistics show law failing women – 833 travel to GB in 2015
'Out of sight, out of mind' is not a viable health policy in 2016 – Patrick Corrigan
Responding to the publication of figures by the Department of Health in England and Wales which show that 833 women from Northern Ireland travelled to Britain to have abortions in 2015, Patrick Corrigan, Amnesty International's Northern Ireland Programme Director, said:
"Abortion not being lawful doesn't mean that Northern Ireland women don't have abortions. It means that they either seek those services elsewhere or risk prosecution under Northern Ireland's archaic laws by ordering abortion pills over the internet.
"833 women have been forced to make that lonely journey in 2015. It was a similar number in 2014 and will likely be the same again this year.
"The Northern Ireland government clearly does not mind women having abortions just as long as they're not happening here. 'Out of sight, out of mind' is not a viable health policy in 2016. Northern Ireland's abortion law needs to be brought out of the nineteenth century and into the 21st."
Abortions are only available in Northern Ireland if a woman's life is at risk or where there is a risk of a serious and adverse effect on her physical or mental health which is either long term or permanent. The punishment is life imprisonment for anyone who unlawfully performs a termination.
Reproductive and sexual health service providers have noted that the numbers for women and girls from Northern Ireland travelling to Britain for terminations is likely a significant underestimate, as many women give false addresses in Great Britain for fear of criminal sanction. The Family Planning Association estimates that "the [actual] figure is probably nearer 2,000 per year".
To put these figures in even starker contrast, figures released recently by the DHSSPS illustrate how infrequently lawful abortions in Northern Ireland are allowed: in 2014/15 there were just 16 terminations of pregnancy carried out in Northern Ireland hospitals.
An unknown number of women from Northern Ireland induce their own abortions through the use of pills obtained over the internet.
Medicated abortion pills are internationally regarded as a safe and recommended option for terminating a pregnancy in the first trimester. Mifepristone and Misoprostol are on the list of essential medicines of the World Health Organisation. However, the criminalisation of abortion in Northern Ireland means that women and girls take these pills without effective medical supervision, therefore potentially resulting in serious health complications.
