The human capacity to implicitly acquire knowledge of structured sequences has recently been investigated in artificial grammar learning using functional magnetic resonance imaging. It was found that the left inferior frontal cortex (IFC; Brodmann's area (BA) 44/45) was related to classification performance. The objective of this study was to investigate whether the IFC (BA 44/45) is causally related to classification of artificial syntactic structures by means of an off-line repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) paradigm. We manipulated the stimulus material in a 2 × 2 factorial design with grammaticality status and local substring familiarity as factors. The participants showed a reliable effect of grammaticality on classification of novel items after 5days of exposure to grammatical exemplars without performance feedback in an implicit acquisition task. The results show that rTMS of BA 44/45 improves syntactic classification performance by increasing the rejection rate of non-grammatical items and by shortening reaction times of correct rejections specifically after left-sided stimulation. A similar pattern of results is observed in FMRI experiments on artificial syntactic classification. These results suggest that activity in the inferior frontal region is causally related to artificial syntax processing.

Did you know you can thank the person who indexed your ancestor's record?

When Cherie Nielsen logged into her FamilySearch account a few days ago, she noticed a new message. The subject line read: "Thank you for indexing a record I found."
She opened the message and tears rolled down her cheeks. Someone found a record she had indexed about a year prior.
Since then, she has received three more thank-you messages — each from a different indexing project.
"It just made me feel good to know that the hours I put into indexing have made a difference for somebody else," said Nielsen, who lives in West Valley City, Utah, and serves as a stake indexing director.
FamilySearch released a new feature in October that allows patrons to send a thank-you message for any record that has the name of a volunteer attached.
Jason Pierson, a FamilySearch product manager, said indexers for many years have expressed their hope that the work they do would be valuable to others. This feature provides a way for indexers to know that value.
"It's important for volunteers to know that their work is valued by others and has meaning," Pierson said. "It helps patrons to feel a greater sense of gratitude for the records they are able to search through and appreciate the sacrifice others have made to make them available."
This feature enhances the family history experience for all patrons as it bridges the connection between indexers and those who use the records to find their ancestors. It also provides another way of having a personal experience of joy in doing family history, he said.
While viewing an ancestor's record on FamilySearch.org or in the FamilyTree app, an option will be listed under document information to "Thank the volunteer," if there is a name attached. A patron cannot see the name of the individual who indexed the record.
After clicking on "Thank the volunteer," a prewritten message will then pop up on the screen. This message cannot be edited and will be signed with the patron's first name only. Once the message is sent, it will appear in the indexer's messages on FamilySearch.
Names are attached to all records that have been done through web indexing, as well as records from the 1940 census. Every record moving forward will have this feature, Pierson explained.
Sarah Cobabe, a FamilySearch marketing representative, said she hopes the feature helps patrons understand that "behind every record is a person who sacrificed time."
"As people discover that family history is a world-wide effort of individuals working together, it encourages more people to participate," Pierson added.
For Nielsen, receiving a thank-you message gave her a desire to open the hints she had received. And one of those hints led her to finding five Swedish children and reserving some of their names for baptism.
"Any little bit of encouragement, it's surprising what a big jump it will give," she said.
About 4,700 thank-you messages were sent in the first two weeks of the feature going live. For more information on the "Thank a Volunteer" feature, visit the FamilySearch blog.

I'm looking to make the jump to stage 2 on my 9-2x and while I love the sound of Cobb, there are a couple things I don't like. Exhaust only flows as well as the smallest diameter allows and the price. I do want to find something with a similar sound though.
I've been looking into the Turbo XS DP because it has a removable section that can go catless for the track and catted for the street. Anyone have any experience with this?
I've also been looking at their CBE with standard muffler. Does anyone know how this sounds? I know their quality is great, but I'm having a hard time finding sound clips of this exhaust catted.
I will be running this with a GS uppipe and OEM header with x-pipe.
No one has any experience with any of these parts?
I know quite a few people run thier cat back exhausts are like them.
Definitely not looking for fart can sound.
It was more from his headers than anything else.
Going from a catted to a catless DP requires a retune due to the flow changes. I suppose if you had a tune for the DP each way, you could just swap it when you swapped the section in and out. Also, every time that you swap out exhaust parts, you have to replace the gaskets on that section. Sounds gimmicky.
My Baja Turbo had a TurboXS DP on it, just the standard catless bellmouth, to a full 3" stainless system, ending in a prodrive muffler. It sounded deep and more mellow than the similar system on my current wagon, but tipped in a classic 'fart can' style exhaust.

Agreed that cats are definitely not what they used to be. The rally cars have performance cats, but realistically if the turbos are fried every event (or sometimes even more frequently), the cat material is long gone too. Ultimately there's not a huge difference in sound between 3" systems. The biggest difference is either the header design (UEL vs EL) and engine (2.0USDM vs 2.0JDM vs 2.5 USDM). Back when I had my lexus, the Megan catback exhaust looked *super* ricey, down to the angled fart can, but it somehow sounded mellow and nice. Some of the prestige exhausts for that car with more of a 'real' muffler sounded raspy and ricey.
My plan is to stay with the stock header. I like that it's cast iron and will hold up to abuse. Plus my goals are for more low/mid range torque anyway. Prob gonna PnP the manifold and get an x-pipe over the winter. Right now I have a GS up pipe, front section of a TXS v2 DP. Will be getting the cat section in a week or so. Also have an AP so I can run stage 2.
On a different note, were most of the head gasket issues resolved by 05 for the EJ20? I'm going to be driving to UT and back in fall/spring and am wondering if I should be wary of it. The previous owner was meticulous with the car. Did regular oil changes, all maint, and just generally took great care of the car. When I spoke with him he said that he never raced it. That's what his Miata is for. For that matter it's still on the original clutch at 144k which tells me he didnt abuse it. Clutch still feels quite good actually (though it's on my list for spring along with a Primitive Racing flywheel).
On a different note, were most of the head gasket issues resolved by 05 for the EJ20?
My only knowledge of the HG failures were on the non-turbo 2.5's, supposedly resolved before 2005 anyway. If you're concerned, you can replace the coolant, and don't forget to add the 'subaru coolant conditioner', a small blue bottle of stuff that's supposed to stop the HG issues.
Guessing that's a dealer only thing? I'm replacing radiator hoses and ancillary lines soon so I'll get some when I do that since the coolant has to be flushed anyway.

Casper grew up in Ridgewood, New Jersey on Van Dien Avenue (named after his great, great grandfather). When he and his family moved to Florida he enrolled at the elite military college prep school Admiral Farragut Academy where he graduated third in command. After attending Florida State University he moved to LA to pursue an acting career where he found success in both film and TV.
His breakthrough role was as the lead in Paul Verhoeven's cult-classic "Starship Troopers" for Sony/Touchstone. He was also cast in Tim Burton's critically acclaimed film "Sleepy Hollow" for Paramount Pictures with Johnny Depp, Christina Ricci and Christopher Walken.
Van Dien starred as 'Lord of the Jungle' in the Warner Bros. film "Tarzan and the Lost City". Casper has starred in over 60 films and television projects. Some of his credits include "Chasing Destiny" with Lauren Graham & Christopher Lloyd, "odern Vampires" with Kim Cattrall & Rod Steiger, "Thrill Seekers" with Catherine Bell & Martin Sheen, "Personal Effects" with Penelope Ann Miller, "Officer Down" with Sherilyn Fenn, "Big Spender" with Graham Green, "James Dean: Live Fast Die Young" with Robert Mitchum, "The Curse of King Tut's Tomb" for Hallmark Entertainment and the surprise independent hit "The Omega Code" with his wife Catherine Oxenberg.
Catherine and Casper have worked together on several different projects including a TV series they produced and starred together in for Lifetime Television called "I Married a Princess". They have formed a production company together, Holy Cow Entertainment, with a unique vision to produce socially responsible, quality family entertainment with the intention of uplifting and transforming people.
Currently, Casper starred in "Ace's N' Eights" with Ernest Borgnine, which aired on ION and is now on DVD at Blockbuster, and he just finished "Mask of the Ninja" for Spike TV. He reprised his role of Johnny Rico in "Starship Troopers Marauder" directed by writer/director Ed Neumeier coming out this summer.
Catherine and Casper currently live in Malibu with their 5 children.
Patricia is perhaps best known for her work in the 1990 cult classic "Night of The Living Dead" as Barbara, the beleaguered heroine. Some may argue she is best known for her role as Lyta Alexander in JMS's Hugo Award winning series, Babylon 5. Either way, she has been swept into a career that features horror and Science Fiction projects. She is less recognizable, but no less memorable, as the Horror Hag in Evil Dead III, Army of Darkness. Pat was featured in the Los Angeles Sci Fest of Plays 2014, and recently shot a Criminal Minds.
Fans make a game of spotting her in the over 50 appearances in ST:TNG, DS9 and Voyager as well as the feature "Generations". Zombie fans will enjoy "Dead Air", and sci fi fans may enjoy Pat's book "Pleasure Thresholds, Patricia Tallman's Babylon 5 Memoirs" available at B5pat.com.
Pat's other projects include starring in the sci-fi audio thriller series "Anne Manx", playing one of the leads, Lt. Jean Richmond. Equally important to Patricia is her fund-raising activities for the children of Penny Lane. Through her efforts within the science Fiction & horror community, Pat and her fans have contributed more than $350,000 to Penny Lane over the past several years, the bulk of which transformed the CARE Computer Lab dream into reality. Since 1996, Pat, her friends, family and fans have made a holiday happen for the Penny Lane kids through the "Be A Santa program". You can go to www.beasanta.org to join in on the fun!
Currently Pat is a producer and development executive, acting on the stage, TV and films. Her favorite role is that of mother to her son, Julian.
Hudson also co-starred as Officer Albrecht in the 1994 thriller "The Crow" opposite the late Brandon Lee.
Not wanting to be typecast, he's taken on more daring parts, including playing the cigar-smoking professional golfer in "Miracle on the 17th Green," a terrorist expert in TBS' highly-rated premiere film "Nowhere to Land," a psychotic mass murderer in the thriller "October 22," the President of the United States in the action film "Stealth Fighter," and the late James Jordan in the Fox Family telefilm "Michael Jordan: An American Hero". Hudson is as usual proving equally comfortable in any genre. He can be seen in Universal's "The Watcher," a suspense thriller starring with Keanu Reeves, James Spader and Marisa Tomei. He so-stars in the Castle Rock comedy "Miss Congeniality," with Sandra Bullock, Benjamin Bratt, and Michael Caine.
For someone with over 100 film and television credits on his resume, Ernie Hudson still considers his biggest challenges ahead of him.
English born and raised, Esmé Bianco holds a reputation as an internationally acclaimed actress and performer of the highest calibre.
She is currently best known for her role as 'Ros' in the Emmy award winning HBO show GAME OF THRONES. When Esmé was cast as Ros her character was only intended to appear in one scene, playing opposite Peter Dinklage, in the pilot episode. Once the series got picked up for a full season, the whole of the pilot episode was reshot, with the exception of this scene – which the producers loved so much they wanted to keep the original.
Based on the strength of Esmé's performance in that single scene, the producers decided to expand the role of Ros and create a storyline for her, which does not appear in the books on which the series is based. Esmé's talents garnered a series regular role for three seasons of GAME OF THRONES and secured her a loyal fan base across the globe. Her film credits include BURLSQUE FAIRYTALES, BIG I AM, CROWLEY, and upcoming releases SCORPION KING 4, LIVING AMOUNG US and MIND PUPPETS.
Esmé has also had a glittering modelling career staring in campaigns for lingerie lines such as Agent Provocateur, Modern Courtesan and Atsuko Kudo.

Orville Peck To Release 'Show Pony' EP Aug. 14
July 14, 2020 /in Featured /by Jessica Nicholson
Columbia Records artist Orville Peck has set a new release date for his upcoming album, Show Pony. His self-produced, six-track EP will release Aug. 14; the project follows Peck's debut album Pony, which released in March 2019.
Show Pony includes a duet with Shania Twain, titled "Legends Never Die," as well as a cover of the Bobbie Gentry classic "Fancy."
Says Peck, "I loved my experience with Pony. However, Show Pony is a more confident perspective and allows me to share even more both lyrically and musically. Like all country albums, Show Pony is a little collection of stories—some sad, some happy—and I am excited for people to hear it. Working with Shania was a dream come true, her music made me feel empowered as a kid and was a huge influence on me."
Peck recently released a new song and video, "No Glory in the West," with the video directed by Isaiah Seret, with narrative and creative direction by Peck and his creative director Carlos Santolalla.

Usually, it appears regardless of whether any tax advice is being offered. Sometimes the attorney using it will not even know why it's being used. But when proposed amendments to Treasury Regulations become final at the end of this year, the disclaimer will become a thing of the past.
This so-called "Circular 230 disclaimer" finds its origin in Treasury Regulations governing practice before the IRS, codified at 31 CFR § 10 et. seq. and commonly known as Circular 230 regulations. An attorney who renders "written advice" relating to an entity or transaction having a "potential for tax avoidance or evasion" is considered to be practicing before the IRS, even if he or she has no contact with the IRS.
Section 10.35 of the regulations establishes a category of written opinions, known as "covered opinions." The rules impose special requirements on any lawyer writing a covered opinion. For example, the lawyer's conclusions, and the presentation of those conclusions, must comply with a prescribed format.
A covered opinion includes, among other things, any opinion about a plan or arrangement "a significant purpose of which is the avoidance or evasion of any tax," if the written advice is (among other types) a "reliance opinion" or a "marketed opinion." Generally, a reliance opinion is one in which the lawyer concludes that it is more likely than not that a federal tax issue will be resolved in favor of the taxpayer. A marketed opinion is one which the lawyer knows, or has reason to know, will be used to promote or market the plan or arrangement to others.
But a lawyer's opinion will avoid classification as a reliance opinion, and may avoid classification as a marketed opinion, if it is accompanied by a disclaimer "that it was not intended or written by the practitioner to be used, and that it cannot be used by the taxpayer, for the purpose of avoiding penalties that may be imposed on the taxpayer." Hence the ubiquitous Circular 230 disclaimer.
Assuming the amendments become final, all written tax opinions will be subject to a single, streamlined standard. Lawyers will still be required to base the advice solely on reasonable factual and legal assumptions and to use reasonable efforts to identify and ascertain all relevant facts. Lawyers will also still be prohibited from considering the likelihood that a tax return will be audited or that a particular issue will be raised on audit. But the Circular 230 disclaimer will become a thing of the past.

Will Greenwood's Premiership rugby predictions: winners, losers, best players and tactical trends
Changes to the laws of the game and the removal of relegation will shake things up, as will the return of Saracens to the Premiership
Will Greenwood 17 September 2021 • 7:41am
Charles Piutau (left to right, clockwise), Jack Nowell and Alex Goode and their respective clubs – Bristol Bears, Exeter Chiefs and Saracens – will be challenging for Premiership honours this season, says Will Greenwood Credit: GETTY IMAGES
Genuinely, I believe the Premiership will explode out of the blocks on Friday night when Saracens travel to Bristol, even if the visitors are missing a fair few with injuries and their internationals still rested from the British and Irish Lions tour.
The first-ever game on Sky Sports involved Orrell and it was a dull affair. I can absolutely say all these years later, it will not be dull between Bristol and Saracens at Ashton Gate. With that in mind, here are my predictions and hopes for the new season.
Winner: Bristol Bears
I've been watching Bristol spontaneously self-combust in the past couple of years, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. I just feel that they have learned some really painful lessons, especially from last year's semi-final against Harlequins when they were 28-0 up before it all went wrong.
I recently interviewed Dan Carter and have talked to players from Saracens down the years about this as well – occasionally, a disastrous defeat becomes one of the things that drives you forward. There are some quality sides around towards the top of the Premiership, but Pat Lam and Bristol this season I feel are going to be the side for everyone else to chase.
Runner-up: Saracens
I know I sometimes swim against the tide of public opinion, and obviously what happened with the salary cap breach was wrong, but I am such a huge fan of Saracens and what they have done with the people there over the years.
They have come back up and welcomed their players back from loans such as Ben Earl and Max Malins at Bristol. I can see them being in the Premiership final, maybe even winning it.
Rounding out the top four: Exeter Chiefs, Sale Sharks
Purely because of the consistency of their performances, you have to have Exeter in the top four. They might even make a seventh straight final.
Choosing the fourth side to make the play-offs however out of a number of quality contenders is very difficult. You have Harlequins, Northampton, Leicester all in the frame. But Sale could conceivably win the whole thing if they get into the top four under Alex Sanderson given the impact he has made.
Harlequins' remarkable run at the end of last season reminded of Mike Weir winning the Masters in 2003, holing seven consecutive 15-footers down the back nine. Sometimes you just think it's your year. It was absolutely Harlequins' year last time around.
Which makes it all the more extraordinary to think they might not make the top four one season later. But, it feels easier to leave out Harlequins when you consider the strength and depth that Sale have available.
Team poised to make the leap: Leicester Tigers
I appreciate Leicester came sixth last season, but they have been pretty average for a long time. Steve Borthwick has been ruthless about getting rid of the players he does not want, and finding players who are more aligned to his thinking in terms of character and graft. He has also added an exceptional rugby mind too in new assistant coach Kevin Sinfield.
New rules in Premiership rugby
The 50:22 law trial feels set up for George Ford with his rugby league-esque kicking – that ability to drop the ball onto his foot at the last moment having drawn the defence up before finding the space.
The signing of Marco van Staden as well, another Springbok coming into the back row to link up with Jasper Wiese who made an instant impact last season, feels like Leicester are trying to match Sale in a sense by adding more South African power into the mix.
I could see my predicted top four potentially being blown out the water by someone like Leicester.
Players I cannot wait to watch: Ben Loader (London Irish), Fitz Harding (Bristol) and Fin Baxter (Harlequins)
I have to declare an allegiance here, because I coached Fitz Harding at school. Actually I have coached all three of those players mentioned above, and had the joy of watching them all grow up on the rugby field, so I'm excited to see how they perform this season.
Loader has a couple of seasons in the Premiership under his belt already but is yet to get a proper crack on the international stage with England, outside of facing the Barbarians a couple of years ago. He scores cracking tries.
Harding is learning off Steven Luatua at Bristol and I know that Luatua rates him highly, and now Earl has gone back to Saracens there's a chance for Harding to get more minutes on the field.
The real kid coming through at Harlequins is Baxter, a young prop. How much game time he will have I'm not sure, but he had a few matches last year and he is a proper player.
My predicted table
Bristol (W)
Saracens (RU)
Finally – bring on more action
I know a lot of people have been impacted by some of the dross that was served up during the British and Irish Lions series in South Africa. A lot of coaches will have watched that and thought, 'I'm not going to let my teams play like that'.
You then throw into the pot the fact that we have no relegation this season. As I mention in my book World Class, you cannot win big if you have a fear of losing. That fear previously for some clubs was financial oblivion and club decimation if you went down, which is a pretty heavy cloud to have hanging over you if you're a club down the bottom.
The fact that relegation has been taken away should hopefully see the sides normally looking over their shoulders throw the shackles off. Once those teams who are often further down the league begin playing that way, and London Irish were one of those clubs who showed a bit more ambition last season, then it affords the better teams the ability to potentially rip those weaker sides apart if everyone is overly focused on attacking rather than defence, meaning a better spectacle.
With my coach's hat on, coaching junior rugby at Maidenhead, I will also be watching to see what new systems and styles and ball movements are taking place which we can try and emulate down the ladder, which is always exciting at the start of a new season.

Councillors reject plans for new hotel, car park and offices near Cambridge station
'I'm afraid just not enough has been done' the committee chair said
Benjamin Hatton

A plan to redevelop part of the Cambridge station area has been rejected, with one reason cited being a failure to live up to the city's status as the UK's leading cycling city.
The "Devonshire Quarter" proposal would have seen a new aparthotel and multi-storey car park built on the current car park area adjacent to the Ibis hotel and cycle park. A new office block would have replaced the car park across the road.
Cambridge City Council's planning committee voted on Friday (October 16) by five votes to two to refuse the application, having decided that the applicant failed to address concerns raised at an earlier meeting in June.
More student flats given green light
Cottenham housing development rejected
Harmful anti-mask posters in Cambridge
Map shows Covid-19 infections in Cambs
The committee gave two grounds for refusal, both very similar to their criticisms when considering the application at the previous meeting, arguing against the scale and impact of the proposed hotel on the Carter Bridge and nearby homes, and saying the wider layout "fails to provide high quality cycling infrastructure commensurate with Cambridge as the leading cycling city in the UK".
Councillors added that it fails to demonstrate compatibility with safety and prioritisation objectives for pedestrians and cyclists, including aspirations for the Chisholm Trail.
'Come back with plans that will serve the city well for the next 50 years'
The planning application was submitted by Brookgate CB1 Limited, which has been behind the wider redevelopment of the station area.
The application was recommended for approval by the council's planning officers both in June and again this time around.
If approved, it would have transformed the approach to the station from the north, via Devonshire Road, and included a new streetscape between the proposed buildings.
The 125-suite aparthotel would have been six storeys high, with a multi-storey car park underground and on the first floor with space for 206 cars.
Brookgate changed the design following councillors' criticisms in June, by recessing the ground floor of one building to allow for wider pavements, altering the entrance and exit arrangements for the mutli-storey car park, and making other adjustments.
The earlier proposal also included an option to change the road layout directly in front of the station, so that Station Road could cut into Station Square between Cafe Nero and the station's entrance - but that aspect of the plan was dropped.
The application was objected to by the South Petersfield Residents Association and the Cambridge Cycling Campaign.
Edward Leigh of the volunteer-run group Smarter Cambridge Transport argued against the application and said it threatened the future development of the Chisholm Trail.
Both he and the Cambridge Cycling Campaign made the case for segregated cycling routes.

'We have responded to those criticisms'
He said: "The applicant and Network Rail must review the long-term transport requirements for the station area, which have changed dramatically since the project was conceived, and together come back with plans that will serve the city well for the next 50-plus years".
Speaking for the applicant, head of planning for Bidwells, Mike Derbyshire, said following the indication of a refusal in June, "we listened and we have made changes to the scheme".
"We have responded to those criticisms as a responsible developer," he said.
He said the professional advice compiled in the planning officer's report was "unambiguous and clear" in favour of permitting the development as proposed.
He also made the case that the application would provide much-needed jobs during the difficult economic period created by the pandemic.
He said: "Cambridge is not immune from this, and this committee has the opportunity to reduce those job losses in the city with this application. These are real jobs, jobs for real people. If permission is granted today, we will be on site in six months building this, and there will be people working in real jobs in a couple of years time".

'The two reasons for refusal are still there'
Defending the scheme's commitment to cycling and the Chisholm Trail, he said "CB1 has now paid £994,000 to the county council to fund the trail.
"It is an enabler, not a barrier to the trail, and I think that's been forgotten in this discussion".
He also said that when the developer first started drawing up plans for this area in 2015 that the council advised it not to include a segregated cycling route.
Councillors argued the latest guidance is in favour of greater provision for cyclists.
Councillor Kelley Green, who ended up voting against the decision to refuse the application, said: "It does seem a bit unfair on the developer after a five-year protracted process of this planning application going through our department, that right at the end new guidance comes in."
But the council's planning delivery manager, Nigel Blazeby, said: "Not withstanding advice we may have given several years ago, you do need to consider it under current policies."
According to the Greater Cambridge Partnership, the Chisholm Trail will provide a 26 kilometre route from Trumpington and Addenbrookes to St Ives, running past both Cambridge Station and Cambridge North Station.
A key criticism made against the proposal for the Devonshire Quarter development was, objectors argued, its potential to "prejudice" the future delivery of the Chisholm Trail's route through the area.
But, as the city council's planning officer, Toby Williams said: "the difficulty really with this application is not knowing how the Chisholm Trail is going to come into the site".
A highways engineer for the county council, Jon Finney, said the proposal did prioritise pedestrians, but when it came to cyclists he described it as "borderline acceptable. It's not excellent".
Referencing the earlier meeting in June, the chair of the committee, councillor Martin Smart, said: "The two reasons for refusal are still there basically".
He added: "We do thank the applicant for the work they have done to bring this item forward in such a way that it could be approved, but I'm afraid just not enough has been done".
After considering the applications for over three hours, councillors voted against, by five votes to two.
An existing outline planning permission for development on the same site was granted in 2010 but lapsed in 2017.

"I Like How It Feels" is a song by Spanish recording artist Enrique Iglesias. The song was originally intended to be the lead single from a reissue of Iglesias' album Euphoria, however, the release was cancelled. The song was later included on the international deluxe edition of his tenth studio album and second bilingual album Sex and Love. The song also features guest appearance from American rapper Pitbull and producers The WAV.s. It is produced by Enrique's longtime collaborator RedOne. It is the third collaboration between Enrique and Pitbull following "I Like It" and Pitbull's song "Come 'n' Go" off his then latest album, Planet Pit. The song was released as a digital download in Australia and some European countries on 23 September 2011. The song was released as a digital download in the United States on 4 October 2011, although as of 2020, the song has been removed from most digital storefronts in the U.S.

Background
"I Like How It Feels" is produced by RedOne whose has worked with Enrique previously to produce hits such as "Takin' Back My Love", "I Like It" and "Dirty Dancer". The song was leaked on the Internet on 8 September 2011 after which it was uploaded to YouTube on 10 September 2011. The video has now received more than 38 million views. The video was directed by Enrique Iglesias. The song was released in some European countries in iTunes on 23 September 2011, and in the US and Canada on 4 October 2011.

Critical reception
The single generally received positive reviews. Amy Sciarretto from Popcrush gave 3.5 stars (out of 5) and said, "It's a simple set of lyrical declarations that celebrate being upbeat and enjoying life. There's a fair amount of studio treatment on the song, but that's a given with any epic, expansive pop song in 2011. We wouldn't be surprised if it becomes a staple at NFL stadiums this fall and winter, too." Meena Rupani from Desihits said," The upbeat track is sure to be on repeat just like their other collaboration tracks have been. It seems Enrique Iglesias and Pitbull can do no wrong when they come together on a song." Robbie Daw from Idolator said,"Enrique's new RedOne-produced song has all the musical makings of an anthem, while the singer himself actually packs more of a soulful, emotional punch with his vocals than we've heard on recent singles like "Dirty Dancer," "I Like It" and "Tonight (I'm Lovin' You)."

Lewis Corner from Digital Spy gave the song 4 stars (out of 5) saying, "Enrique continues to channel the au courrant synths and chunky Euro beats combo that has kept him afloat over the past year. "It's my time, it's my life, I can do what I like/ For the price of a smile, I gotta take it to right," he certifies over a carnival cabaret of Rio de Janeiro proportions – and with another chart-friendly anthem under his belt, he certainly has reason to celebrate."

Chart performance

On the week of 29 September 2011 the song debuted at number 97 on the Canadian Hot 100 chart. It marks Enrique's 8th entry on this chart. It later peaked to #11 on the chart. It also debuted at number 47 on the ARIA charts on the week of 3 October 2011. Since then, it has managed to peak to #26. On the same day it debuted on 29 on New Zealand's RIANZ chart, peaking to #19. It debuted at #76 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart. However, due to low sales & low airplay count, it fell out of Hot 100 the following week. It was generally overlooked by US radio. It re-entered the chart at #74 following Enrique's performance of this song on American Music Awards of 2011 & 'The Cowboys Red-Cattle Campaign'.  It debuted at #40 on the US Pop Songs chart on the week of 29 October. It peaked up to #39. The song topped the Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs, becoming Enrique's 10th #1 on that chart, listing Enrique in the top 10 Dance/Club Artists of all time.

Use in media
The song was used in a 2012 Australian commercial for Toyota Yaris.
The song was used as part of the Australian Seven Network's promo for the 2012 AFL season and its expanded coverage.
The song was performed by the three remaining finalists on The X Factor (Australia season 3)
The Argentinian reality show Soñando por Cantar uses this song as their theme song, which led the song to great popularity in the country.

Music video
The music video for this single premiered on Friday 30 September 2011 via his official website and Vevo. The video is directed by Enrique himself & features guest appearance from stars including singers Juanes, Pitbull, Nicole Scherzinger, Nayer, actors Eva Longoria, Ken Jeong, George Lopez and tennis player Serena Williams. The video starts with Enrique playing on a beach with his dog. The video proceeds with some clips of Enrique's Euphoria tour, night out parties, backstage banter and outdoor videos. The video depicts Enrique flying around Miami beach, playing Baseball with small children, riding speed-boat along with his dog and partying with his friends. Pitbull comes along during his verse also seen partying with Enrique. Ken Jeong is shown writing the song and also dancing it. The video ends with credits to all involved.

Live Performance
Enrique Iglesias performed the song as a medley of two songs on American Music Awards of 2011. He first sang 'I Like How It Feels' with Choir & then broke into Tonight (I'm Lovin' You) with guest rap from Ludacris. He also performed the song at 'Salvation Army Red Kettle Campaign at Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving Day Game' as a medley of three songs. He started with 'I Like How It Feels' with guest rap from Pitbull followed by Tonight (I'm Lovin' You) & I Like It.

Track listing

Remix

"I Like (The Remix)" is a song released by American rapper Pitbull featuring Enrique Iglesias and Afrojack. Originally a remix of "I Like How It Feels" by Afrojack, it was reworked by DJ Buddha and released as a single instead. The track was later featured as a B-side track on the CD releases of the Pitbull singles "Get It Started" and "Don't Stop the Party".

The song was selected as the official song of Miss USA 2012. This marks the second song by Pitbull to be used for a beauty pageant (after "Took My Love", a track from his album Planet Pit, which served as the official song of the rival Miss America 2012 pageant).

Wine: Naturally Fruitful
New Zealand wine-lovers are bringing a fresh approach to Londoners' drinking habits

London may once have been the bastion of traditional English merchants selling claret to gouty old gents, but times have changed and a couple of young New Zealanders are at the vanguard of an exciting new era in the city's wine scene. Liam Kelleher and his business partner James Noble set up their Noble Fine Liquor shop to sell the kind of naturally made wines from small producers that they enjoyed drinking, tapping into the city's evolving taste for more authentic products.
"After some long nights with some good bottles of wine, the idea to open a shop came about," explains Christchurch expat Kelleher, who opened the shop with his longtime Wellington friend three years ago. "James had been buying wine en primeur for quite a few years and I'd always been interested in and sought out good wines to drink."
It was a tip-off from a New Zealand source that saw me first catch up with Kelleher — who's responsible for the day-to-day management of the store — not long after Noble Fine Liquor opened. At its premises in Hackney's hip Broadway Market, I was wowed by its eclectic but focused range of wines from some of the most exciting artisan producers in Europe. It's a selection that's seen me make the pilgrimage east every time I'm in London and has also been singled out for praise by British wine-writing luminaries, such as Jancis Robinson and Tim Atkin.
Kelleher came to London less than a decade ago via Melbourne, initially working for the famous Kiwi cafe Flat White. Then, after a period as an espresso machine engineer, he took the plunge with Noble to enter the long established London wine trade.

"The UK and London is a fun place to be; it has the longest tradition of drinking and importing European wine," says Kelleher of his decision to set up shop in the city. "However, there's a lot of pomp and procedure, with people thinking you have to do things a certain way."
But Kelleher and Noble decided not to tread the traditional or indeed the most obvious path. They've opted to sell European rather than Australasian wines and focus on less conventional producers who employ more natural winegrowing philosophies and techniques.
"Europe is an absolute goldmine that's close to us, which is why it's our focus," Kelleher tells me. "We do get a bit geeky about wines and are looking for interesting and out-there things, but which have a sense of place and speak of where they're from.
"We are not too fussed about the specific region a wine comes from or what grape it is, it's about how it is made," Kelleher adds. "Our wines are generally made with organic or biodynamic grapes, fermented with indigenous yeasts, and made with a minimum number of interventions on their way to the bottle. Ultimately, our focus is on wine quality, identity, and diversity.
"People are asking more for natural wines, but we tend not to use that label as it's so undefined," he says of the growing trend that's seen so-called "natural" wine bars proliferate in cities such as London. "But it's similar to people wanting to know where their chicken grew up and who baked their bread. It's exactly the same with wine.
"We've found it's the older guys who prefer wines that are engineered and perfect rather than the new wave of wines with more minimal intervention," he notes. "In London you either drink one type of wine or the other: people are so dogmatic. But I want to change the idea of what people think is right or wrong in wine."
While natural wine is a growing movement in Europe and has been taking off in Australia, it's still very much a niche area here in New Zealand. There are currently very few producers here adopting this approach, led by Pyramid Valley — the only New Zealand winery Noble Fine Liquor currently stocks — and no shop like Noble Fine Liquor, which is still very much a minority enterprise even in London.

"The scene we're involved in revolves a lot around natural/authentic wines from small producers of France and Italy, which doesn't really exist in New Zealand," observes Kelleher.
It was still a brave move to start a specialist store in such a competitive and costly city as London, but the duo report business to be better than expected. It has proved so fruitful that they've recently branched out to open a second wine shop-cum-bar, P. Franco, further east in Clapton, where customers can enjoy a glass of wine in situ.
"We think we've started our business in the right place, at the right time," notes Kelleher of their success. "Hackney is a really thriving area, where there are many like-minded people and new businesses that share our philosophies of wine, food and culture. Independent, local, authentic, are all important themes.
"It excites me when people come back and say how much they loved the wine I've recommended or people who used to go the 'offie' [basic bottle store] but now buy good wine here," Kelleher enthuses about the joys of his job. "There's just so much good wine available, which is now part of many people's meals."
As we talk, Kelleher stops to advise customers who drop by to pick up a bottle for dinner or something to cellar. His knowledge and passion for the largely lesser-known products that line his shelves gives the shop an upbeat, accessible feel that's light years away from the stuffiness and snobbery associated with the more conservative wine merchants.
"We never did this to make money," Kelleher tells me. "We did it because we wanted to be surrounded by wine the whole time."
These are wines that are proving popular with the Londoners who share Kelleher and Noble's tastes and appreciate the philosophy and enthusiasm driving this exciting Kiwi wine venture.

Revive & Restore's Woolly Mammoth Revival Project
In 2015, Revive & Restore launched the Woolly Mammoth Revival Project with a goal of engineering a creature with genes from the woolly mammoth and introducing it back into the tundra to combat climate change. Revive & Restore is a nonprofit in California that uses genome editing technologies to enhance conservation efforts in sometimes controversial ways.

Fate Mapping Techniques
For more than 2000 years, embryologists, biologists, and philosophers have studied and detailed the processes that follow fertilization. The fertilized egg proliferates into cells that begin to separate into distinct, identifiable zones that will eventually become adult structures through the process of morphogenesis. As the cells continue to multiply, patterns form and cells begin to differentiate, and eventually commit to their fate.
The e-Mouse Atlas Project (1992- )
The Edinburgh Mouse Atlas, also called the e-Mouse Atlas Project (EMAP), is an online resource comprised of the e-Mouse Atlas (EMA), a detailed digital model of mouse development, and the e-Mouse Atlas of Gene Expression (EMAGE), a database that identifies sites of gene expression in mouse embryos. Duncan Davidson and Richard Baldock founded the project in 1992, and the Medical Research Council (MRC) in Edinburgh, United Kingdom, funds the project.
Cerebral Organoid as a Model System in the Study of Microcephaly
Scientists use cerebral organoids, which are artificially produced miniature organs that represent embryonic or fetal brains and have many properties similar to them, to help them study developmental disorders like microcephaly. In human embryos, cerebral tissue in the form of neuroectoderm appears within the first nine weeks of human development, and it gives rise to the brain and spinal cord.
Green Fluorescent Protein
Green fluorescent protein (GFP) is a protein in the jellyfish Aequorea Victoria that exhibits green fluorescence when exposed to light. The protein has 238 amino acids, three of them (Numbers 65 to 67) form a structure that emits visible green fluorescent light. In the jellyfish, GFP interacts with another protein, called aequorin, which emits blue light when added with calcium. Biologists use GFP to study cells in embryos and fetuses during developmental processes.
Stanley Paul Leibo (1937–2014)
Stanley Paul Leibo studied the cryopreservation of embryos in the US in the twentieth century. Cryopreservation is a method of preserving biological material through freezing. Early in his career, Leibo collaborated with other scientists to study why cells were oftentimes injured during freezing. Later, Leibo and his team accomplished one of the first successful births using previously-frozen mammalian embryos.

Susceptibility Assay
Charles Manning Child designed an experimental test, the susceptibility assay, to measure the effects of different toxins on developmental processes. The susceptibility assay measured an organism s vulnerability to death when it was submerged in a noxious solution. The assay involved immersing an organism in a solution that contained a depressant or inhibitory substance, such as alcohol, and then measuring the responses of the organism. Child interpreted these measurements as revealing information about the relative levels of metabolic activity within the organism.
Hanging Drop Tissue Culture
The hanging drop tissue culture is a technique utilized in embryology and other fields to allow growth that would otherwise be restricted by the flat plane of culture dishes and also to minimize the surface area to volume ratio, slowing evaporation. The classic hanging drop culture is a small drop of liquid, such as plasma or some other media allowing tissue growth, suspended from an inverted watch glass. The hanging drop is then suspended by gravity and surface tension, rather than spreading across a plate.
Radioimmunoassay
Radioimmunoassay (RIA) is a technique in which researchers use radioactive isotopes as traceable tags to quantify specific biochemical substances from blood samples. Rosalyn Yalow and Solomon Berson developed the method in the 1950s while working at the Bronx Veterans Administration (VA) Hospital in New York City, New York. RIA requires small samples of blood, yet it is extremely sensitive to minute quantities of biological molecules within the sample. The use of RIA improved the accuracy of many kinds of medical diagnoses, and it influenced hormone and immune research around the world.
ABO Blood Type Identification and Forensic Science (1900-1960)
The use of blood in forensic analysis is a method for identifying individuals suspected of committing some kinds of crimes. Paul Uhlenhuth and Karl Landsteiner, two scientists working separately in Germany in the early twentieth century, showed that there are differences in blood between individuals. Uhlenhuth developed a technique to identify the existence of antibodies, and Landsteiner and his students showed that humans had distinctly different blood types called A, B, AB, and O.

Ooplasmic Transfer Technology
Ooplasmic transfer, also called cytoplasmic transfer, is an outside the body, in vitro fertilization (IVF) technique. Ooplasmic transfer in humans (Homo sapiens) is similar to in vitro fertilization (IVF), with a few additions. IVF is the process in which doctors manually combine an egg and sperm cells in a laboratory dish, as opposed to artificial insemination, which takes place in the female's body. For ooplasmic transfer, doctors withdraw cytoplasm from a donor's oocyte, and then they inject that cytoplasm with sperm into a patient's oocyte.
Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells
Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs) are cells derived from non-pluripotent cells, such as adult somatic cells, that are genetically manipulated so as to return to an undifferentiated, pluripotent state. Research on iPSCs, initiated by Shinya Yamanaka in 2006 and extended by James Thompson in 2007, has so far revealed the same properties as embryonic stem cells (ESCs), making their discovery potentially very beneficial for scientists and ethicists alike.
Noninvasive Fetal Aneuploidy Detection for Trisomy 21, 13, and 18
Noninvasive fetal aneuploidy detection technology allows for the detection of fetal genetic conditions, specifically having three chromosomes, a condition called aneuploidy, by analyzing a simple blood sample from the pregnant woman. Dennis Lo and Rossa Chiu researched methods of detection of aneuploidies in the early twenty-first century. Their research has been specifically applied to three trisomies, trisomy twenty-one known as Down syndrome, trisomy eighteen known as Edwards Syndrome, and trisomy thirteen known as Patau Syndrome.
Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) involves testing for specific genetic conditions prior to the implantation of an embryo in the uterine wall. This form of genetic screening has been made possible by the growth of in-vitro fertilization (IVF) technology, which allows for the early stages of development to occur in a laboratory dish rather than in vivo. The purpose of PGD is to identify what are considered to be abnormal embryos in order to select the most desirable embryos for implantation.
James Edgar Till (1931– )
James Edgar Till is a biophysicist known for establishing the existence of stem cells along with Ernest McCulloch in 1963. Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that can shift, or differentiate, into specialized types of cells and serve as a repair system in the body by dividing indefinitely to replenish other cells. Till's work with stem cells in bone marrow, which produces the body's blood cells, helped form the field of modern hematology, a medical discipline that focuses on diseases related to the blood.

Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer in Mammals (1938-2013)
In the second half of the
twentieth century, scientists learned how to clone organisms in some
species of mammals. Scientists have applied somatic cell nuclear transfer to clone human and
mammalian embryos as a means to produce stem cells for laboratory
and medical use. Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) is a technology applied in cloning, stem cell
research and regenerative medicine. Somatic cells are cells that
have gone through the differentiation process and are not germ
cells. Somatic cells donate their nuclei, which scientists

Warren Tay (1843–1927)
The arterial switch operation, also called the Jatene procedure, is an operation in which surgeons redirect the flow of blood through abnormal hearts. In 1975, Adib Jatene conducted the first successful arterial switch operation on a human infant. The arterial switch operation corrects a condition called transposition of the great arteries, abbreviated TGA, also called transposition of the great vessels, abbreviated TGV. TGA occurs when the pulmonary artery, which supplies deoxygenated blood to the lungs, and the aorta, which takes oxygenated blood to the body, are switched, or transposed.
"Screening for Congenital Hypothyroidism" (1991), by Delbert A. Fisher
In his 1991 article Screening for Congenital Hypothyroidism, Delbert A. Fisher in the US reported on the implementation and impact of mass neonatal screening programs for congenital hypothyroidism (CH) from the early 1970s through 1991. CH is a condition that causes stunted mental and physical development in newborns unless treatment begins within the first three months of the newborn's life. In the early 1970s, regions in Canada and the US had implemented screening programs to diagnose and treat CH as quickly as possible after the infant's birth.

Diethylstilbestrol (DES) in the US
Diethylstilbestrol (DES) is an artificially created hormone first synthesized in the late 1930s. Doctors widely prescribed DES first to pregnant women to prevent miscarriages, and later as an emergency contraceptive pill and to treat breast cancer. However, in 1971, physicians showed a link between DES and vaginal cancer during puberty in the children of women who had taken DES while pregnant. Consequently, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) banned its use during pregnancy.

The Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR) Vaccine
The measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine was created by Maurice Hilleman in 1971 at the Merck Institute of Therapeutic Research, a pharmaceutical company in West Point, Pennsylvania. It combined three separate vaccines for measles, mumps, and rubella, common and sometimes fatal diseases. Measles causes a red skin rash and severe fevers that can be fatal. Mumps causes fever and swelling of the salivary glands in the mouth and jaw, while rubella causes milder fevers and skin rashes.
Multiplex Automated Genome Engineering (MAGE)
Multiplex Automated Genome Engineering, or MAGE, is a genome editing technique that enables scientists to quickly edit an organism's DNA to produce multiple changes across the genome. In 2009, two genetic researchers at the Wyss Institute at Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts, Harris Wang and George Church, developed the technology during a time when researchers could only edit one site in an organism's genome at a time.

The Game of Life, by John Horton Conway
The Game of Life, or just Life, is a one-person game that was created by the English mathematician John Horton Conway in the late 1960s. It is a simple representation of birth, death, development, and evolution in a population of living organisms, such as bacteria. Martin Gardner popularized the Game of Life by writing two articles for his column "Mathematical Games" in the journal Scientific American in 1970 and 1971. There exist several websites that provide the Game of Life as a download or as an online game.
The Whelan Method of Sex Selection
The Whelan Method of Sex Selection is a method for increasing a couple's probability of conceiving an infant of the desired sex through timing intercourse. Elizabeth Whelan, a public health researcher, suggested that couples only have intercourse at specific times during the woman's menstrual cycle based on whether they wanted a female or male infant. Whelan published her method in her book, Boy or Girl, in 1977.
George McDonald Church (1954- )
George McDonald Church studied DNA from living and from extinct species in the US during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Church helped to develop and refine techniques with which to describe the complete sequence of all the DNA nucleotides in an organism's genome, techniques such as multiplex sequencing, polony sequencing, and nanopore sequencing. Church also contributed to the Human Genome Project, and in 2005 he helped start a company, the Personal Genome Project. Church proposed to use DNA from extinct species to clone and breed new organisms from those species.


A district judge denied bail to Malaysian businessman John Soh Chee Wen on Tuesday, as prosecutors added seven new charges of witness tampering to the alleged "mastermind" of the 2013 penny stock crash and suggested additional involvement manipulating the stock of ISR Capital.
The judge said that the totality of the evidence, which included allegations by the prosecution that Mr Soh had previously used a fake Indonesian identity to enter and leave Singapore, suggested that Mr Soh was a flight risk. The judge also accepted the prosecution's portrayal of Mr Soh as a "protagonist" in the 2013 crash and who "has significant influence over the supporting cast".
Mr Soh now faces 188 charges related to the penny crash, in which the collapse of Asiasons Capital (now Attilan Group), Blumont Group and LionGold Corp in October 2013 triggered a massive sell-off in low-priced stocks on the Singapore Exchange.
Prosecutors have already charged former Ipco International chief executive Quah Su-Ling and former Ipco interim CEO Goh Hin Calm in the case, which has been described by investigators as the largest securities fraud case in Singapore. Bail was previously set at S$4 million for Quah and at S$750,000 for Goh.
The bail hearing notably linked Soh to the probe of ISR, an investment services company whose stock remains suspended amid investigations.
Shares of ISR plunged on Nov 24, the day Soh was arrested. The investigation into the stock began a week later, on Dec 2, which led to certain evidence being seized, the prosecution said.
The evidence suggests that Soh was manipulating ISR while still under police bail, prosecutors said.
Soh allegedly exercised influence over key decisions at ISR while being an undischarged bankrupt, contravening the Companies Act; and is believed to have abetted insider trading by asking remisier Gabriel Gan to buy ISR shares ahead of an announcement.
In written submissions, Soh's lawyer, Senior Counsel Tan Chee Meng of WongPartnership, argued that the prosecutors have offered no evidence to demonstrate Soh's involvement in ISR.
In an oral reply, Mr Tan added that his client would be "stupid" to attempt to manipulate ISR "in this time and age where every trade can be traced".
Recordings of conversations between Soh and Mr Gan, which were found on Mr Gan's laptop, as well as testimony from former LionGold business and corporate development director Peter Chen Hing Woon and former analyst Ken Tai Chee Ming, led prosecutors to add the witness tampering charges. The prosecution alleged that the recordings included Soh instructing Mr Gan to "deny everything" and rehearsing answers to give to investigators.
Soh's lawyer argued that the testimony of those individuals were unreliable, given that they were facing potential charges themselves and may have an axe to grind against Soh.
Mr Tan also disagreed with the portrayal of his client as a flight risk, arguing that if Soh could or wished to abscond, he would have had many opportunities between October 2013 and his arrest in November 2016. Even after prosecutors told a court in January 2016 that they expected to charge Soh by the end of that year, he remained in Singapore, albeit with his Malaysian passport confiscated.
Citing the recorded conversations between Soh and Mr Gan, deputy public prosecutor Teo Guan Siew argued that Soh had remained in Singapore not because he thought he was innocent, but because he did not think that investigators had enough to convict him. Given that Soh now knows the full extent of the charges against him and that prosecutors have allegedly detected witness tampering, Soh may have more motivation to flee, DPP Teo said.
Commotion broke out in the courtroom when it was revealed that the prosecution was alleging that Soh had tried to leave Singapore by boat while on police bail; that attempt failed because the boat malfunctioned, prosecutors said, citing testimony from Soh's former girlfriend Cheng Jo-Ee. Mr Tan dismissed that as hearsay.
Prosecutors also said Soh used to travel in and out of Singapore with an Indonesian passport under the name of "Didi Supardi", a fake identity, until January 2000. They further alleged, based on testimony from Soh and others, that he had crossed Singapore's borders between 1999 and 2002 even though the immigration authorities had no record of those passages.
Mr Tan argued that links between Soh and Didi Supardi were tenuous, and that some of the testimonies on this matter were inconsistent with the evidence.
Even if the court felt that Soh was a flight risk and capable of tampering witnesses, it could address all of those concerns with strict bail conditions such as electronic monitoring devices and prohibitions against contacting certain people, Mr Tan said. Keeping Soh under the prison's strict restrictions hindered his ability to prepare a proper defence for a complex case, the lawyer argued.
"Let not a conviction be secured because of Mr Soh's inability to prepare a proper defence," Mr Tan said. "We are sure the prosecution is not seeking to secure a conviction at all cost."
But the prosecution disagreed, saying that Soh was capable of getting around those restrictions, and if he were allowed bail, "there will either be no trial, because he will abscond, or there will be no fair trial, because the witnesses will be tampered with."
The court did grant Soh slight consolation: A local phone call.
Mr Tan said Soh wanted to call Quah Su-Ling.

Humour Provides Welcome Donations For TASC
TASC, The Ambulance Staff Charity has thanked a social media platform for donating more than £2,500 which it has raised through the 'power' of laughter.
UK Cop Humour (UKCH) was founded in 2012 with the intention of countering negative comments about the police and instead highlighting the positive things they do.
A few years ago they decided to raise money for police charities and good causes through the selling of merchandise bearing the #ThinBlueLine, and have since branched out into other Facebook pages, creating UK Paramedic Humour and UK Firefighter Humour in aid of TASC and The Fire Fighters Charity respectively.
The donations are achieved through the sale of a range of merchandise and velcro patches bearing the #ThinGreenLine for ambulance staff and #ThinRedLine for firefighters.
Since the end of 2015, a total of £2,522.80 has been presented to TASC by UKCH.
A spokesman for UKCH stated:
"I started the page as a result of constant police-bashing by certain sections of the media with constant stories trying to undermine the brave work that police officers do every single day. It was winding me up to the point where I personally wanted to highlight all of the positive things that police do.
"Initially I started it for a bit of fun and to share some good news stories. Then, around three years ago, someone asked if I'd consider raising money for emergency services charities. That's when I first got hold of the #ThinBlueLine and now I'm proud to say it's a symbol that police officers recognise nationally as representing their part of the wider police family.
"This was so successful, I later added UK Firefighter Humour and UK Paramedic Humour with the #ThinRedLine and #ThinGreenLine respectively. The important thing about the emergency services is that they all recognise it's not just a job – they truly are part of a much wider family."
The spokesman continued:
"When I started UKPH, the numbers grew quickly – we now have over 50,000 fans. It's a fan-led page and so we asked them who would best benefit in the way of ambulance charities. We were directed to TASC because of the good work that they do. Our #ThinGreenLine merchandise and patches allow us to donate to TASC and other related good causes that fans highlight to us. We are humbled that our fans have supported us and proud to have been able to donate to this amazing cause."
All in all, UK Cop Humour and its 'sister' platforms have raised more than £53,000 to date for emergency service related charities.
"Our aims when we started were very simple – to remind everyone that the police are the public, and to break down any barriers that exist, where possible, through humour and positivity.
"You simply have to have a sense of humour to work in the emergency services and we love being able to share that with a wider audience – reminding them that our emergency services are much more than just uniforms."
You can find UK Cop Humour on Facebook, Twitter or Snapchat, whilst UK Paramedic Humour is also on Facebook.
