Welcome To The Sheep Seats
By Danny Kelly (29 February, 1992, NME)
Ewe would not believe it, ladies and gentlemen! Out the back, THE KLF with a dead sheep, machine guns, Extreme Noise Terror and a crutch! Yep, if the BRITS will never be the same again, spare a thought for DANNY KELLY (words) and KEVIN CUMMINS (pictures), led a merry dance around pop's Big Night Out by Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty - the most dangerous (and easily the most successful) thirtysomethings in the charts. Let's flock!
THE KLF vs THE BIZ - Part 1 - The Brits
The KLF at the BRITS? Where to bloody start? This is a story about the Kopyright Liberation Front (KLF), Britain's greatest pop group, and their continuing love/hate rollercoaster with the music business and us, the pop-consuming public.
This story contains guns, fireworks, lawyers, Abba, abattoirs, punks, police, eight gallons of fresh blood, Jonathan King, meat cleavers and a recently deceased wool-bearing quadruped. It is a story about success and failure, vanity and anger, innocence and manipulation, confusion and inspiration. It is a snapshot of the inner workings of the brilliant but brittle minds of Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty, the masked ringmasters of the whole KLF circus. Like I said - where to bloody start?....
The caper was meant to be simple enough. The KLF haven't done any press for 18 months (after Bill decided that he "just didn't want to *articulate* any more"; since they became a huge-selling singles band in half the countries of the world), but lensman Cummins and I had been granted imperial permission to tag along on the day the band attempted to bring life - and, as we shall see, death - to that annual festival of complacent self-congratulation, the BRITS awards.
They would, they said, electrify the whole proceedings with their performance, then bugger off to an Alternative BRITS Rave at an old JAMS/KLF haunt, before finally gatecrashing the posh post-awards do in a blaze of something closely approximating glory. Sound cool? You should know better. The best laid plans of mice and men and blokes in cowls with tusks sticking out their heads....
Thus it is that we find ourselves at 10am (infernal) in the yawning expanse of the Hammersmith Odeon, accompanied only by a pair of Fleet Street photographers and gangs of TV people. The rehearsals for this afternoon's BRITS (to be transmitted a few hours later on telly) are in full swing; there is, of course, no sign of The KLF or their unlikely cohorts in this particular adventure, Ipswich punk zealots Extreme Noise Terror. This is a portent of things to come.
Jonathan King wanders around in a shell suit that'd get him chucked out of Eurodisney for tastelessness and a big hat with the word 'KING' stamped into its metal front...Mick Hucknell mimes his way through the rather pretty 'Stars', that can't-believe-my-luck grin that Paul Young used to wear never far from his features; our Lisa (the TV producer calls her 'Miss Stansfield') keeps everyone waiting before dragging herself through that song about housewives and *classy ladies*. Imagine how dull the BRITS themselves are - now imagine *the rehearsals*, where TV slunkies stand in for the gushing award winners. We are in hell.
And then it happens. A curtain rises to reveal rows and rows of flashing lights and stacks (heavens above!) of real, humming buzzing, bastard-loud Marshall amps. The Fleet Street guys, who've been barred from taking pictures of this act, mutter unhappily: "Dunno nuffin' 'bout this KLF lot, but my papers bound to want a picture, just for the files or something." Suddenly Extreme Noise Terror bound into the middle of the flashing lights and smash their way into the first, earsplitting chord of "3 am Eternal".
Compared to what's preceded it, this is a turbo-powered metallic wolf breaking into a coop full of particularly sick doves. "Justified Ancients Of Mu Mu versus Extreme Noise Terror - this is television freedom!" howls Bill Drummond. What a racket, and what a sight! Jimmy Cauty, with his post-apocalypse-Chris Lowe crusty cool, and the lads from ENT are mad looking enough, but Bill is something else. Dressed in a Drummond tartan kilt (a 21st birthday present, he later reveals) and the leather greatcoat in which Martin Bormann escaped to Bolivia, he lurches manically about on a crutch. He is a gangling cross of Jonny Rotten and the great Robert Newton's leering, eyeball-rolling Long John Silver.
And the noise? Well, the noise is hardcore punk thrash through a disco Techno hit played by crusties. All bases covered, brilliantly. Clever, *clever* bastards.
The whole shebang - not as shocking as promised as feared, but plenty for the likes of the BRITS to be getting on with - ends in a fusillade of fireworks. The Fleet Street photographers have long since put away their cameras, lit up a fag, and relaxed. Pretty pictures of glamorous stars will have to wait...
The hours between the run-through and the real thing are filled with tension, rumour and confrontation. In the pub, Extreme Noise Terror (who play every night of the year but aren't exactly used to the media whirl) and The KLF (who've never played a 'proper' gig in all their born days) cling together for mutual support. Attempts at communication are brushed aside, either politely (Jimmy), or, in Bill's case, with a fixed stare from the top of his six-foot five and the tremulous mantra "I can't talk...I...can't...talk..."
They have, it escapes in hidden whispers and coded winks, got plenty to be both excited and apprehensive about. Word has gone out that The KLF's van contains a dead sheep (to be cut up during their number) and a quantity of blood, to be chucked on the front rows of the gathered music biz dignitaries. Jonathan King has had them in to make his feelings on the shape of upcoming events clear. So, more pertinently, have the BBC's lawyers. Drummond and Cauty's wildest ideas of subverting the whole BRITS event are beginning to look like impossible dreams. Nerves snap tighter, more ale gets drunk.
And then it's showtime. The Odeon's great tiers of seats are full of pigtails in suits. Even humble rock hacks have been forced into their demob whistles. Jonathan King comes on like Jimmy Tarbuck and makes some half-laughing apology for the opening act, the "really talented KLF". The really talented Justified Ancients Of Mu Mu (no, I'm not entirely sure how they decide which band they are on a day to day basis either) splash on to the stage as he departs, grinning like he does. Behind Bill is a large bucket; people in the first *70* rows visibly flinch. Sir George Solti, the puff, gets up and leaves...
There is an almost demonic intensity about the KLF/ENT now. They mean it, maaan. On your telly they may have been reduced to cartoon-silliness, but there, among the pearls and perms, they were pretty awesome. As the song hurtles to its close, Bill suddenly exchanges his crutch for a massive machine gun which belches tongues of flame (and, thankfully, blanks) at the increasingly bemused audience. The band scramble off to their van, the engine already running, as the PA booms out : "The KLF have now left the music business...!"
You won't have seen that last bit on the TV. It was, for whatever reason, cut, as was the later, and equally bizarre incident. The KLF, you see, were (along with Simply Red, natch) awarded the title Best British Band (hurrah and hear hear!), but had long since left the borough of hammersmith come presentation time. But they'd taken care of it, sending along sidekick Hector, resplendent in motorcycle messenger gear, to pick up the bauble. Having been told there was no way he was being allowed access, Hector had had to dash onstage and grab the trophy from startled Martika and escape into the labyrinth of corridors behind the glittering stage. Later, he was cornered by security, who wrestled the gong back off him.
Meanwhile, out on the streets of a rainy rush hour London, the race was on to get to the 'Alternative BRITS Rave' located in Jimmy Cauty's old gaff in downtown Stockwell. This joint, we've been assured, will be Fun Central, the place where we'll get to commune matily with The KLF, basecamp for the rest of the nights escapades. We should have known better.
Hector's House - for it is here that the award-grabbing biker abides - is, from the outside, remarkably quiet for a building housing A Big Rave. Remarkably derelict too. Still, we knock and gain access to a large semi-furnished, erm, building site. This is the house Jimmy Cauty lived in until six months ago. On getting ready to move, legend has it, he found an uncashed royalty cheque for .25,000 - The KLF are coining it bigtime. Inside, the ceiling appears to be held up by an RSJ, there's a punchbag hanging from a temporary lintel, a ripped Judge Dredd poster on the wall and a very large hole where the back wall should be. Not much sign of the Big Rave though.
But hold on; there, huddled in the corner around a few Special Brew cans and listening to Abba, are Extreme Noise Terror. And, an abandoned crutch tells me, The KLF are here too. Not 'are here', the ENT lads inform me matter-of-factly, but 'were here'. Now they've gone "on a mission", possibly something to do with getting a TV, watching the BRITS on (there isn't one in Hector's House), possibly not. They're supposed to be coming back, but...
While we wait (me for the Kings Of Low Frequencies, ENT to see themselves on the box), we natter, rather dolefully, about how five such nice boys from Ipswich came to be involved in such a carry on.
"What actually happened," begins blond singer Dean brightly "was that Bill heard us on Peel when he was in the bath and got in touch. They had wanted to do rock versions of their songs with Motorhead but something fell through, so he rang us...
"The message said it's Bill from The KLF, but I thought they said 'the ALF' so I didn't take much notice..."
"I thought it was from EMF", chimes in the drummer, like a drummer.
"Later," continues Dean, "we got anther message saying it was definitely Bill from The KLF and I said 'f--- off! What does he want with us?' But it all got explained eventually."
The upshot of this unlikely coupling has been not just the Metal version of "3am Eternal", with which we're all now familiar, but a series of recordings that form 'The Black Room', book-end alter-ego of last year's 'The White Room' LP. How have the ENT crew found working with the pop genius of the age? Much discussion ensues before the band agree on a party line:
"Just say that he's mad, barking bleedin'mad..."
Then something happens that sends an already bizarre day spinning into even stranger orbits. One by one, Extreme Noise Terror ring their respective parents to remind them to watch their offspring on the any-minute-now TV broadcast of the BRITS, then leave to go watch the show in their van. Cummins and I are left sat, side by side and dressed to kill, on a sofa in what would pass, no problem, for a squat. No KLF, no Big Rave, no action; just the sound, floating from the distant kitchen, of the house's other residents (apparently oblivious to our pathetic and incongruous presence) preparing their evening meal and listening to Nirvana. We are like Gilbert & George on a particularly bad night out. The KLF do not return, the phone does not ring, we wait...
As the minutes, and then the quarter hours, pass, I find myself having to remind myself just why I am bothering to wait. We could, after all, be chain-gobbling quail's eggs and freebasing champagne at the BRITS blowout. Why are we waiting ?
We're waiting because The KLF (and their alter ego The JAMs) have, over these last five or so years, pulled off a seemingly impossible double. They've gone on from commercial triumph to ever greater commercial triumph while making more and more interesting records (actually, they're more and more interesting variations of the *same* records, but that's another story). We're waiting because Drummond and Cauty flung open the debate on sampling and copyright, because they made cracking records with Gary Glitter, Tammy Wynette and without Whitney Houston, 'cos they've driven a Galaxy 500, went to Sweden to bollock Abba, wrote 'Shag! Shag! Shag!' on James Anderton's face, dressed as giant ice cream cones on *Top Of The Pops*, threw money to the punters at raves, wore miners' helmets and Cistercian hoods, wasted a cool million on their *White Room* movie, and used Bill's knowledge (gleaned from running a label - Zoo - ad two top bands, the Bunnymen and the Teardrops) to celebrate, rather than merely dissect and use, the record industry. They have, in short, been both *the* generation terrorists, and the Pet Shop Boys you can dance to.
This reverie is broken by the phone going. No-one comes from the Nirvana kitchen to answer it, so I pick it up. It's Drummond; his voice is hushed and distant; he speaks without waiting for a reply: "Where are you guys? You should be with us...we're doing...stuff..."
The phone goes down. Cummins and I make instant decisions. The KLF must be over at the posh Lancaster Gate hotel where the BRITS shindig is being held. We flee Hector's House - scene of the world's smallest and worst attended rave ever - and speed across London, notebooks and cameras at the ready. As we approach the hotel, blue and yellow flashing lights are splitting the darkness. A police car prowls around as a rubbish lorry disposes of the carcass of a dead sheep which has been left on the forecourt. Around it is tied a sign; 'I DIED FOR YOU - BON APPETIT'. Once again, The KLF have been and gone...
THE KLF vs THE BIZ
Part 2 - The interview
THE KLF interview? Where to bloody start?
Next morning, the backlash begins. From the KLF's point of view, they have subverted and disrupted the BRITS and made some sort of point. The rest of the world takes a calmer view. Sure Trevor Horn (producer of the year and the man, lest we forget, who produced Frankie Goes To Hollywood's "Relax") has called them "disgusting" and the editorial leader in dusty trade mag Music Week is appalled, and people are none to happy about the sheep and blood stories, but really Martika's slovenly sway got as much attention. The difference is that the cops aren't after Martika. They are, however, keen for intercourse with the phantom sheep-dumpers.
And, amazingly, Bill Drummond (perhaps from a sense of guilt at having abandoned two suits at an imaginary Big Rave, but I doubt it) has agreed to break his self-imposed silence. Despite hating interviews, he's prepared to talk about the whole BRITS thing, but nothing else.
Colleagues counsel caution. They figure Drummond for the ultimate manipulative bastard who, having failed to make the big splash with yesterday's antics, will now try to use the NME to either re-ignite the smouldering embers or cover his tracks. But hell, isn't that what 75 per cent of the bands who talk to us are trying to do?
We meet in the deepest cranny of the Asian East End. Bill Drummond (public persona-confidence-crazed Master Of The Galaxy) is very nervous. He deflects my early attempts at jocularity with a heartfelt plea for The KLF to be taken seriously:
"There is humour in what we do, and in the records, but I really hate it when people go on about us being "schemers" and "scammers". We do all this stuff from the very depths of our soul and people make out its some sort of game. It depresses me..."
So we talk about the BRITS. But animal lovers, breakfast eaters, and those of you who like your stars nice and manageable, be warned; this is no ordinary interview...
First question ? Simple. Why ?
"It had to be done," Drummond begins, his tone as always, somewhere between deadly earnest and total mischief. It soon becomes obvious that there's a devil stuck in this man.f "You only get so many opportunities...When they asked us to do it, we wondered if the BRITS people had done their research..."
The impression was abroad that Jonathan King had told you not to spoil it for everyone else. Is that what you were trying to do ?
"Erm...Yeah. Looking back, we realise we don't really know what our motivation was. All we know is we've got, as well as everything else, this dark side to our personality. We looked into our souls and entered into the same area that Manson must have entered...and that bloke who shot up Hungerford."
Hold on. Charles Manson and Michael Ryan weren't punks or Situationists or rebels, they were nutters, sociopaths who killed innocent people. You don't really mean to compare yourself to them do you ?
"I do actually. Yes I do. It is the same area. Somebody recently used the phrase "corporate rebels" - about the Manic Street Preachers, I think - and both Jimmy and I didn't want to be just corporate rebels because there's just so much of that, shameless, in the music business. We felt we were headbutting... headbutting... trying to push at what's acceptable. It was completely pointless and you don't know why you're doing it but it has to be done. And that's what Michael Ryan did; he just woke up one morning and thought "right, today's the day I go out and get the bastards" and went out and shot the bastards..."
But they were members of the ordinary public.
"Yes, exactly. All I'm saying is that we are in the same mental area as those guys."
If the motivation for your actions remains unclear, what were the plans ?
"The plans kept changing. They varied from me going onstage and literally cutting my age, Manics style into my chest with a knife, to me snogging Jimmy onstage, to Jimmy simulating sex with his girlfriend. Then as you know, we were going to cut up a dead sheep on stage and throw blood over the front rows of the audience."
Erm, why ?
"Tons of reasons. You know, it's that whole thing about sacrificial lambs and about lambs to the slaughter. And there was something in there about that Geoffrey Howe thing, being savaged by a dead sheep."
The sheep connection is deeply embedded in the JAMs/KLF mythology. There's sheep on the cover of "Chill Out", there's sheep mentioned in the "Grim Up North" sleeve essay, when they launched The White Room film in Germany, several sheep were guests of honour, and so on.
Wasn't the sheep-hacking idea a bit like suicide ?
"Exactly, that's in there too. That's what the "KLF have now left the music business" was about..."
Interesting, but not as interesting as...where did you get the sheep ?
"From an abattoir in Northampton. I drove up there on the morning of the show and got it."
You didn't kill it yourself, did you ?
"No, but it had been alive that morning. We got the blood at the same place, eight gallons of it."
What the hell was that for ?
"The original idea was that two thirds of the way through the song this altar would appear with the sheep on, it would come on and... we'd bought the meat cleavers, the knives, the tablecloth, got everything. But of course in the end Extreme Noise Terror made it blatantly known that they were totally against the idea."
No surprise. ENT are after all, hardcore veggies. But they wouldn't have been the only ones totally outraged by your plan.
"Oh look, we'd gone through agonies about this, spent sleepless nights knowing that it was a terrible thing to do. But the sheep didn't die just for us. It was going to die anyway. We actually prolonged its life by 12 hours or something."
Prolonged its life in an abattoir. Big brownie points there! Despite Bill's, erm, sheepish laughter, I tell him that all of The KLF's myriad stratagems - instinctive and premeditated - down the recent years, this was probably the first one that would've really alienated tons of people who normally applaud their every move. He seems mystified, but it's simple really. Right thinking people probably view the use of dumb (not to mention deceased!) animals for some madcap pop/art caper in the same light as they do the Benetton AIDS ad; there's just no need for it.
What for instance, did Bill's wife, unconnected with the pop world, make of this behaviour ?
"She was horrified...disgusted, completely disgusted. But y'know, we just can't be the safe little pop group. But it is only pop music... we ain't terrorists...it's all make believe..."
Not for the sheep, it's not.
"I know," he splutters, "but we don't always think things through beforehand...we just do them. Jimmy really had me going. After we couldn't do the sheep, he suggested that I use the cleaver to cut my own hand off!"
There's no stopping him now. We are in bonkers sheep talk mode. Lots of this sounds crazy, but it's articulated with a passion, and a disgust at the business he's in (and actually, in some way, adores) that's pretty convincing, Scary too. Catch this lot:
"Whatever people think, there was a lot of symbolism about the sheep thing. It said to those people at the BRITS, "If you can't take the contradictions and the shit within pop music, tough; you're all willing to go into this big hotel and eat whatever but you don't wanna look at a dead sheep". I was brought up in the country and I've seen dead bodies and dead animals and I worked on a trawler and saw *millions* of dead fish. Actually, though, when the other trawlermen weren't looking, I threw some of the still-living fish back into the sea.
"Anyway, the next plan was to take the sheep down to the hotel and leave it there on the stairs, dead, and pour the eight gallons of blood over the entrance. They might've been able to ignore the sheep, but wading through blood ? That's symbolic too. It's like the industry wants your blood. And then, when you've given them everything, they want to make you a part of the "rich tapestry of rock". When you're dead, when you're gone, it's all nice, all "Joe Brown And The Bruvvers - weren't they great ? Sid ? Wasn't he great! ? Jimi - what a great album!"
"I mean, we're like everyone else, disgusting. We want to be loved, just like all those other people at the ceremony. But there's a twisted part to Jimmy and me too that wants to be hated. Really hated..."
But in the end, particularly because TV always diminishes rock, you didn't get to commit any atrocities and even the version of "3am" ended up being somewhat small. Overall, the reaction was rather mild.
"Yeah, I know," he begins miserably before brightening up, "you go on stage with your toy gun and you think "Sid did this 15 years ago and its pathetic". Only it wasn't a toy gun, it was real! Brilliant! Did you see the cartridge cases whizzing out the side ? Sensational feeling, but at the end of the day they weren't real bullets."
Would you like to have really killed anyone there ?
"No, I'm not a violent person, it's just those feelings again. The morning after the BRITS, though, I'm driving to the studio to make a bloody pop record and I've still got eight gallons of blood in the back of the van. Simon Bates is on the radio, giving out the "truth" about the awards. He's saying how he and his producer foiled the dastardly KLF plot to throw fake blood on the audience. And I'm thinking "Oh Simon is that the 'truth' ?". I'm driving along with eight gallons of real blood not *fake*, in the van. Maybe I'll go over to Radio 1 right now and dump it on him...But I haven't got the guts. There's that side of me that would like to do it...heave the blood all over the bastard."
Back to what The KLF actually did, rather than what they wish they'd done. The band have, perhaps more than any other, benefited from the blanket popularity of dance music in recent years, but their performance on the BRITS, and many of their ideas, are, I'm choosing my words carefully here, deeply punk.
"Yes, a lot of what we are is punk. Both Jimmy and I have been deeply involved in the rock tradition, me straight from Elvis, and both of us like heavy rock and punk. But I loved heavy rock *at the same time* as loving punk. Hendrix, Purple, Led Zepplin. Actually, I hated Purple and Sabbath at the time but, as well as the crap there is *something* there. I mean, obviously, you just can't beat "Smoke On The Water" or "Paranoid". They're just very British, regional, *not London*, and if you're a British bloke, a mechanic, it touches something. It's Triumph motorbikes and small towns and I just love it. Actually, it doesn't matter whether I love it or hate it...it's just part of me."
As well as being punk, The KLF are, contrarily, also very Hollywood. There's an extravagance about everything they do.
"That's 'cos we don't have a manager or a record company. There's nobody to tell us what to do or what not to do, so me and Jimmy just drive each other on. Last week, when we half guessed that the Extreme Noise Terror lads wouldn't go for the sheep thing, Jimmy said "Right, we'll buy an elephant from a zoo and cut off it's legs with a chainsaw...onstage...live..." I don't think it would actually come to that. I couldn't kill a worm. You know when it's been raining and the worms all get washed on to the pavement ? I stop and put them back into the ground."
Christ, it's like *Wildlife on one*! Back to real matters - guitars. There's tons of them on The KLF's new single "America: What Time Is Love"; what with that and the ENT projects, has rock returned to the revolving dance universe of The KLF?
Bill Drummond smiles, "I've been waiting ages to use this quote... There's always been a rock element to our dance music..."
THE KLF versus the music business. And the general public.
Where to bloody end?
What are we to make of all that ? Deliberate outrage to stir up an already boiling-point reputation ? Media manipulation by a total master of the black art ? Drivel from someone who actually needs a good kicking and to grow up ? Or the genuine contradictions fighting within an artist ? For the answers, we can only turn to the very thing that probably made Bill Drummond give up interviews in the first place - our old friend Untrained Journalistic Psychology...
It is, someone with several GCSEs once said, the gap between our dreams and our reality that makes us mad. Bill Drummond's canteen of cutlery is certainly missing a few fishknives, but he's by no means bonkers. He does, however, seem to have himself nicely skewered on the horns of an almighty dilemma. He has taken over pop music and it has been a piece of piss to do so. And he hates that. He wants to be separate from a music industry that clasps him ever closer to its boso. He loves being in the very belly of the beast, yet he wishes he was something that'd cause it to throw up too. He wants not only to bite the hand that feeds but to shove it into an industrial mincer and stomp the resultant pulp into the dirt, yet pop, as long as you continue to make it money, would let you sexually abuse its grandmother. There is, Bill old boy, no sensible way out.
So where does this all leave us, the adoring millions who slaver after each new KLF release ? Sitting pretty, actually. The tensions and contradictions that appear to rack Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty, whether real or imagined, will continue to push and spark the two most brilliant minds in pop today. And we, like gamblers at a malfunctioning fruit machine, will gleefully harvest the musical treasure.

The Emergency Department at Northern Nevada Medical Center is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week to provide emergency medical care to residents of Sparks, Reno, Lake Tahoe and surrounding areas of Nevada and California.
A new freestanding emergency department is coming to Northwest Reno in 2020. ER at McCarran NW an Extension of Northern Nevada Medical Center will offer the same high-quality care as our hospital ER in a convenient location.
See photos of the construction progress of ER at McCarran NW in this gallery.
The medical term for a heart attack is "myocardial infarction." "Myo" refers to "muscle," "cardio" refers to "heart" and "infarct" refers to "death of tissue from lack of oxygen." Like any muscle, the heart needs a steady supply of blood. Without it, heart muscle may be injured and can cause chest, shoulder, back, neck or jaw discomfort or pressure.
If blood flow is not restored, heart muscle dies and scar tissue begins to form, replacing functional heart muscle. That can lead to irregular heart rhythm and/or fatal heart failure. At Northern Nevada Medical Center, we work to shorten the time from when you arrive at the hospital to when affected blood vessels are reopened. That saves heart muscle. Lost time is lost muscle and we are dedicated to doing everything we can to increase your chances of survival and recovery.
Clinicians in emergency cardiovascular services work closely with our cardiology team to expedite the care of patients with heart attacks and other life-threatening conditions.

By becoming an Accredited Chest Pain Center, NNMC has demonstrated that it offers enhanced quality of care for the cardiac patients, and shown a commitment to achieving higher standards. When it comes to a heart attack, minutes matter. The Chest Pain Center at NNMC is a valuable resource for quality and expedient cardiovascular care.
Stroke is a medical emergency that affects the brain, and is the fifth leading cause of death in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. When a stroke occurs, minutes can mean the difference between recovery and long-term speech, sight or movement complications. Healthcare professionals know that "time lost is brain lost," so it's critical to get medical care at the first warning signs of a stroke.
At Northern Nevada Medical Center, a rapid-response team of neurologists, Emergency Department physicians and nurses is available to evaluate patients using advanced technology. One service, called Tele Neuro, allows neurologists to diagnose a stroke without having to be in the Emergency Department. That means the Emergency Department can provide diagnostic testing and treatment more quickly.

Northern Nevada Medical Center offers advanced technology needed to enable doctors and staff to a quicker diagnosis, so you can get the treatment you need as quickly as possible.

My heart goes out to his family and loved ones." – Justin Timberlake


We just love these religious pareidolia stories; they give us an explanation as to why there is so much suffering in the world. After all, how can you expect God to save the 25,000 children who starve to death every day – or that baby with painful cancer you saw on TV just last night? Clearly, He is too damn busy appearing on sidewalks, cheese sandwiches and driveway stains to worry about insignificant problems like human suffering!

Главиша (среща се и като Главишево, Главешово, Главушево) е историческо село в Западна България.

Местоположението му е определено точно благодарение на историческата памет на местното население и на запазеното до днес наименование на местността – "Главешо – Каваците", в района на ВЕЦ Кокаляне, на десния бряг на Искъра, в подножието на Лозенска планина.

Селото е съществувало по време на Второто Българско царство и около 250 години след завладяването на местността от турците. Във връзка с произхода на името му се предполага, че местните жители се ползвали с известни привилегии от цар Иван Асен V, наричан в района още цар Ясен, в замяна на което се задължили (старобълг. "главили") да охраняват подстъпите към крепостта Урвич до която селото имало най-лесен достъп. Поради това Главиша е било известно и като "царското село". След превземането на крепостта през 14 век и най-вече поради това, че селото останало встрани от големите по онова време пътища и често ставало обект на нападения, оцелелите жители били принудени да напускат мястото и постепенно се разселвали около река Бистрица, където имало воденици, а според преданията и в съседното Кокаляне. Преместването на новото място ставало постепенно, като последните данни за Главиша от турски регистри са датирани към края на 17 век, откогато започва да се споменава и името на село Панчар (Паничаръ) - съвременното Панчарево. След напускането на Главиша и обезлюдяването му, селото било унищожено ицяло, а по-късно там се заселили черкези.

Заради опасността от забавяне на строителството, не е обърнато достатъчно внимание на останките от старото гробище на селото, открити при изкопни работи в района на ВЕЦ-а през 1954 годинa. По-късно на това място са изградени ведомствените жилищни кооперации на ВЕЦ Кокаляне.

Според легендите Крали Марко от Витоша стъпил с коня си направо на Главешо, Лозенската планина.

Supreme Court Arguments Go Right Down the Toilet
Photo: Saul Loeb/AFP (Getty Images)
Now that many of us are working from home, there has been no shortage of remote conference call bloopers during this pandemic. Between people walking around in their underwear to unfortunately timed unmuted mics, and the plague of Zoom bombers crashing college classes to rake in YouTube views, these viral moments are at least entertaining (as long as they don't happen to us). If you accidentally do something embarrassing while video-chatting with your friends, that's one thing. They won't put that on the internet. (Well, they might.) But what about flushing the toilet while listening to a very serious Supreme Court hearing?
To the person who did that this morning, wherever you are, be thankful that the world doesn't know your identity. Every Supreme Court justice, every journalist, and everyone else on the call heard you do your business at a very dramatic moment: a case being heard before the highest court in the land. Kudos to Justice Elena Kagan and political group attorney Roman Martinez for rolling right through the sound of gushing water like it never even happened.
The court was hearing arguments in the case of Barr v. American Association of Political Consultants, in which a federal ban on robocalls, known as the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, is being challenged. The act was originally passed by Congress in 1991 to stop telemarketers from making unsolicited calls to people and annoying them to no end, but the AAPC argued that the ban is unconstitutional and violates the first amendment rights of political fundraisers, pollsters, and political organizations.
Here's where the toilet flush comes in about an hour into the hearing, when Martinez was answering a question from Kagan:
A Mint Condition iPhone 8 From Back Market Killed My Fear of Buying…
"What the FCC has said is that when [THE UNMISTAKABLE SOUND OF WATER BEING RELEASED FROM ITS PORCELAIN THRONE PLAYS IN THE BACKGROUND] the subject matter of the call ranges different topics," said Martinez, "then the call is transformed, and it's a call that would've been allowed, which is no longer allowed."
It could be interpreted as a joke or a reaction to what Martinez is saying, but since the sound comes in the middle of his sentence at not at the end, it seems more likely that whoever this person was took their phone or laptop with them to the bathroom and forgot to mute their mic before they flushed. If it was a joke, it was not well-timed.
Either way, it's a moment for the history books. I wonder what future historians will say about the flush in their treatises on life during the covid-19 pandemic. But I'm not asking the question I should be: Did this mysterious toilet flusher wash their hands?

First evidence of a living Leatherback turtle along Pakistan's coastline, rescued by local fishermen
Karachi: A group of fishermen caught a large leatherback turtles at Gwadar near Surbandar village on Tuesday and in order to get this leatherback turtle free from their net, they beached it. WWF Pakistan staff helped in the rescue and safe release of this turtle back into the sea.
The Leatherback turtle Dermochelys coriacea is the largest marine turtle, rather largest reptile is mostly widely distributed in Indian, Pacific and Indian Ocean including North Sea. In the Arabian Sea, it is known from India, Oman, UAE and Yemen but is rarest of all species of turtles in the area. Leatherback turtle can grow up to 900 kg and has a teardrop shaped body.
Along the coast of Pakistan five species of marine turtles are reported to occur which include green, oliveridley, hawksbill, loggerhead and leatherback turtles. Of these, leatherback is considered to be most rare species occurring along the coast of Pakistan and indeed globally they are one of the most endangered species of marine turtles. Previously there were a number of reports about occurrence of leatherback from Pakistan but no living turtle was ever recorded from the country.
Rab Nawaz, Director WWF Pakistan has considered the report of leatherback turtle as good omen for the biodiversity in Pakistan. He pointed out that WWF Pakistan has recently located a large population of oliveridley turtles from offshore waters of Pakistan which was thought to be extinct from the area.
Abdul Rahim, Coordinator, WWF Pakistan at Gwadar who has played an important role in releasing this turtle, appreciated the role of fishermen who have sacrificed their expensive gillnet about Rs.14,000 in an effort to safely release the species. He pointed out that there is an increased awareness among the fishermen for the protection of marine turtles due to efforts of WWF Pakistan's Pakistan Wetland Program. Fishermen now safely release turtle if they are enmeshed in their gillnets and other fishing gears and do not fling the turtle as used to be done previously.
Nawaz further informed that WWF Pakistan with the support of the provincial wildlife department has been involved in turtle conservation and awareness program along Sindh and Balochistan coasts for almost two decades. Previously a dead leatherback turtle was recorded from Pushukan near Gwadar in 2002. He pointed out that the leatherback turtle has survived for more than a hundred million years, but is now facing extinction. Recent estimates of numbers show that this species is declining precipitously throughout its range of distribution. He stressed the need for all stakeholders including fishermen, Wildlife Departments and NGOs to take necessary steps for protection of turtles mainly nesting beaches need to be monitored and patrolled for controlling disturbances and feeding by scavengers including feral dogs.
Muhammad Moazzam Khan, Technical Adviser Marine Fisheries WWF Pakistan has pointed out that since leatherback solely feed on jellyfishes, its occurrence in Pakistan may be on account of recurrence of jellyfish blooms in the coastal areas. He pointed out that the global population of this species was estimated to be 115,000 adult females in 1982. By 1996 this had been revised down to about 3040,000. Leatherback populations in the Indian Ocean have undergone dramatic declines in the past forty years. The nesting colony at Terengganu, Malaysia went from more than 3,000 females in 1968, to 20 in 1993, to just 2 recorded recently there are no signs of recovery.
Nawaz further elaborated that since WWF consider leatherback to a priority species, therefore, it has initiated a number of programs globally to protect nesting beaches and near shore habitats by establishing and strengthening sanctuaries and wildlife refuges, raise awareness so that local communities will protect turtles and their nests and reduce by catch in fishing gears.

eGalax 7 inch touch screen calibration can be made using xinput calibrator on Raspberry Pi.
I tested it on Raspberry Pi 3 with Raspbian Jessie installed and it works flawlessly.
How do i know what kind of touch screen i've got ?
Search for "input: eGalax Inc. Touch " in the output of the command .
If your display resolution is not supported by Raspberry Pi, you will have to make some configurations before using it. Check this page and look for your resolution.
If your 7 inch touch screen resolution is not supported, and you will try to connect it to your Raspberry Pi, you will probably see the messsage "not supported" on the screen.
– First, connect your raspberry pi to another screen that works (pc monitor will be fine).
Download xinput_calibrator somewhere in the Raspberry PI's folder structure from HERE .
When xinput calibrator is running , it will ask tou to touch some points on the 7 inch touchscreen. If it fails to receive some touch events, the touch screen calibration will start over again.
It is better to use a stylus because it has a sharper tip.
After saving the file (press CTRL + X , Y), reboot and then test your 7 inch touch screen calibration.
You can repeat these step later if the calibration wasn't enough precise.

Audible Impact by High Marks
Rake Me Over The Coals Tonight by High Marks
High Marks is a solo post punk act based in Forest Grove, Oregon. Rake Me Over The Coals Tonight is the upcoming album of the project, out on January 27th, 2023 via Propitious Artifacts. The new full length is one of the briefest High Marks albums but its variety also makes it one of the most approachable.
The album's first example, Audible Impact, is a demanding track that outlines High Marks' experimental tendencies while also sounding especially interesting and distinctive.
The upcoming album was developed over the course of several sessions at different studios, with the bulk of the recording taking place close to High Marks' new residence in a rural area of Oregon. High Marks worked on this project with frequent collaborators David Mansfield (Stranded), SIMNs (downers), and more recent ones Travis Kuhlman (Yellow Bulb, DUG), and Reila (Obsidian PrintCo).
Rake Me Over The Coals Tonight was named after the artist's habit of staying up all night criticizing himself. With the new album High Marks shows a different route to his usual sound with songs that sound more minimalistic and tackle unrelenting concepts like police violence and individual responsibility to one's feelings with similar fervor.

Posted on February 19, 2019 by Paul Mirengoff in Anti-Semitism, Great Britain, Leftism
Seven MPs quit Labour Party over anti-Semitism
Yesterday, seven members of Parliament left Britian's Labour Party. They will remain in Parliament as an independent bloc. The Washington Post has the details.
The leader of Britain's small Liberal Democrat party said he hoped to work with this bloc. He also suggested that it might grow in the near future.
The seven MPs cited several areas of disagreement with the direction of the Labour Party under its radical head, Jeremy Corbin. The areas include lack of support for Britain finding its way back to the EU, hostility to NATO, and softness towards hostile nations — all of which "are rooted in the Labour leadership's obsession with a narrow, outdated ideology," said one of the defecting members.
But anti-Semitism in the Labour Party appears to be the straw that broke the camel's back. Luciana Berger, another of the defectors, said she has become "embarrassed and ashamed" of her party, which she described as "institutionally anti-Semetic" and riddled by a culture of "bullying, bigotry, and intimidation."
Some Labour MPs expressed disagreement with Berger's decision, but not her sentiment. Lucy Powell tweeted that Berger made the "wrong decision," but agreed that she had been subject to "despicable and appalling abuse."
Even Jeremy Corbin has acknowledged that anti-Semitism is "a real problem" in his party. He did so after an investigation of online chatter among party members revealed disturbing evidence of anti-Jewish sentiment. "Labour staff have seen examples of Holocaust denial, crude stereotypes of Jewish bankers, conspiracy theories blaming 9/11 on Israel, and even one individual who appeared to believe that Hitler had been misunderstood," Corbyn admitted.
The further left the Labour Party moves, the more of this kind of trash it will attract.
The same is true of the Democratic Party in the U.S. In light of recent developments, I expect the Democrats to replicate the Labour Party's anti-Semitic trajectory — minus, perhaps, the resignations.

Q: Nonclustered index on varchar column or partitioned table I have simple table:
CREATE TABLE dbo.Table1 (
   ID int IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,
   TextField varchar(100)
)

I have nonclustered index on TextField column.
I am creating a simple query which selects both columns and in where condition i have next situation:
...
WHERE SUBSTRING(TextField, 1, 1) = 'x'

Is it better to convert query to LIKE condition with 'x%' or to create partition function on TextField column.
How partitioning can affect on search condition over varchar column, and what solution will be better for large amount of rows?

A: By default ,SUBSTRING(TextField, 1, 1) = 'x' is not SARGable.
First, I would test that query with following solutions (SQL Profiler > {SQLStatement|Batch} Completed > CPU,Reads,Writes,Duration columns):
1) A non-clustered index on TextField column:
CREATE INDEX IN_Table1_TextField
ON dbo.Table1(TextField)
INCLUDE(non-indexed columns); -- See `SELECT` columns
GO

And the query should use LIKE:
SELECT ... FROM TextField LIKE 'x%'; -- Where "x" represent one or more chars.

Pros/cons: B-Tree/index will have many levels because o key length (maximum 100 chars + RowID if isn't a UNIQUE index) .
2) I would create an computed column for the first char:
-- TextField column needs to be mandatory
ALTER TABLE dbo.Table1
ADD FirstChar AS (CONVERT(CHAR(1),SUBSTRING(TextField,1,1))); -- This computed column could be non-persistent
GO

plus
CREATE INDEX IN_Table1_FirstChar
On dbo.Table1(FirstChar)
INCLUDE (non-indexed columns);
GO

In this case, the predicate could be
WHERE SUBSTRING(TextField, 1, 1) = 'x'

or
WHERE FirstChar = 'x'

Pros/cons: B-Tree/index will have far less levels because o key length (1 char + RowID). I would use if predicate selectivity is high (small number of rows verifies) but without covered columns (see INCLUDE clause).
3) A clustered index on FirstChar column thus:
CREATE TABLE dbo.Table1 (
   ID int IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY NONCLUSTERED,
   TextField varchar(100) NOT NULL, -- This column needs to be mandatory
   ADD FirstChar AS (CONVERT(CHAR(1),SUBSTRING(TextField,1,1))),
   UNIQUE CLUSTERED(FirstChar,ID)
);

In this case, the predicate could be
WHERE SUBSTRING(TextField, 1, 1) = 'x'

or
WHERE FirstChar = 'x'

Pros/cons: should give you good performance if you have many rows. In this case, the B-Tree levels will minimum (1 CHAR + 1 INT) or minimum->medium.

A: Your non-clustered index can not be utilized if there is a function applied to the column (i.e. SUBSTRING).  LIKE 'x%' would be preferable here.

HUMAN RIGHTS INSTRUMENTS
OHCHR > English > News and Events > DisplayNews
DPRK / Human rights: Key report must be sent to UN Security Council, says UN Special Rapporteur
NEW YORK / GENEVA (28 October 2014) – The United Nations Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), Marzuki Darusman, today urged the UN General Assembly to submit the report by a special commission of inquiry that documents wide-ranging and ongoing crimes against humanity in the country to the Security Council and urge its referral to the International Criminal Court (ICC).
"This would send an unequivocal signal that the international community is determined to take the follow up to the work the commission of inquiry on the DPRK to a new level," Mr. Darusman said during the presentation of his latest report* to the global body.
The Special Rapporteur held his first ever meeting with DPRK officials on the margins of the General Assembly on Monday 27 October.
"I welcome these signs of increased engagement by the DPRK with the Human Rights Council and international community, and I hope they will bear fruit," Darusman said. "But these must be premised on a more fundamental acknowledgement of the scale of the problems and must not divert from efforts to ensure the accountability of those responsible."
In a landmark report submitted in March 2014 to the Human Rights Council, the commission of inquiry concluded that a number of long-standing and ongoing patterns of systematic and widespread violations in North Korea met the high threshold required for crimes against humanity in international law.
Such violations relate to arbitrary detention, torture, executions and prisons camps; violations of the freedoms of thought, expression and religion; discrimination on the basis of State-assigned social class, gender and disability; violations of the freedom of movement and residence; violations of the right to food; and enforced disappearances, including through international abductions and enforced disappearances.
The expert further urged the United Nations system as a whole to follow up the commission of inquiry's report in a coordinated and unified way, as envisaged in the 'Rights up Front' initiative.
"To this end, all relevant parts of the UN system should work to alleviate specific areas of sufferings, as relevant to their mandates, in relation to the aforementioned violations documented by the commission of inquiry and the recommendations accepted during the universal periodic review," Mr. Darusman said.
The Special Rapporteur welcomed the North Korean authorities active engagement in the second review of the human rights situation in the country carried out by other States in a process known as the 'universal periodic review.' He noted that the Government accepted 113 recommendations out of the 268 made, mainly related to the fulfilment of economic, social and cultural rights and the protection of women's and children's rights.
Mr. Darusman asked the UN General Assembly to request the DPRK to grant access to the UN human rights mechanisms to assist, assess and verify the implementation of such recommendations. However, he noted with deep concern that the Democratic People's Republic of Korea failed to accept any recommendations relating to the findings of the commission of inquiry.
Finally, the expert said he was encouraged by recent moves to reopen the investigation of international abductions and enforced disappearances committed by the DPRK.
"The North Korean authorities should allow all persons who have been abducted or otherwise forcibly disappeared, as well as their descendants, to return immediately to their countries of origin, and speed up the investigation into the fate of those missing in a transparent and verifiable manner," Darusman said.

Marzuki Darusman (Indonesia) was appointed Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea by the UN Human Rights Council in August 2010. As Special Rapporteur, he is independent from any government or organisation and serves in his individual capacity. He has served in a three-member UN Commission of Inquiry to investigate the assassination of former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto and chaired the UN Secretary General's Panel of Experts on Sri Lanka. In March 2013, the Human Rights Council designated Mr. Darusman to serve simultaneously on a three-member Commission of Inquiry to investigate and to report on the systematic, widespread and grave violations of human rights in DPRK.

"The summer games proved a memorable experience for the Camera Corps team in many ways," comments Megan Llloyd-Johnson, production manager for Camera Corps. "We worked with great people, learnt local cultures and added another major OB event to our belt.
"The team delivered a huge array of cameras, tracks and remote heads to various locations. However, by far the most rewarding moment was the chance we had to visit the kids and staff of Task Brasil at Casa Jimmy. Established in 1993, the charity offers a safe place where vulnerable youngsters can learn to swim, play sports, play music, build IT skills, study English and spend time together off the streets.
"I experienced first-hand the impact Task Brasil is making on the children, their families and their communities. The hardships and circumstances from which they come may be difficult for us to imagine but this not what defines them during their time together at Casa Jimmy. The Task Brasil team are doing excellent work day-to-day with comparatively very little funding. Some of the Camera Corps specialists co-operated in producing a video programme about the running of Casa Jimmy as a direct way of putting something back into the community.
"Our fundraising goals were ambitious but we secured the promise of matched corporate funding from Camera Corps and Vitec. As a result, we were able to make a five-figure contribution to the ongoing cost of equipping and running Casa Jimmy. We know that our combined donations will help give them a real boost, allowing them to undertake vital maintenance and upgrade work on the facilities which are so crucial to their work, as well as providing funding for teaching staff.
Since its establishment as a charity in the UK in 1993, Task Brasil has come a long way in helping the street children of Rio de Janeiro. In the early days, founding trustee Ligia Da Silva and her supporters began by trying to make contact with children on the streets, assisting poor families who were not able to provide for their children and helping young people, against all the odds, to receive a reasonable education.
Task Brasil was given an enormous boost in 1997 with a very generous donation by Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page who witnessed first hand the deprivation of the children and troubles in the favelas whilst playing in Rio de Janeiro. The money donated was used to buy a plot of land in Santa Teresa with a house which became Casa Jimmy.
Over 500 children, teenage mothers and their babies and their families have benefited from the facilities and services funded partly by the Prefeitura of Rio de Janeiro and largely by private donations.
More recent donations have funded the purchase of land neighbouring Casa Jimmy providing housing for volunteers and land for a future replica handbags project.
Task Brasil Trust depends on the help of the good hearted who are willing to invest their time and/or money in the future of these young victims.
Task Brasil Inc opened its office in the US in the summer of 2002. It is committed to using all of its resources to improve the independence and self-esteem of those supported by Task Brasil.
A Vitec Group company, Camera Corps specialises in providing remote camera solutions for reality television shows as well as very large-scale sports, entertainment and stage events. Camera Corps has achieved a pre-eminent reputation for its ability to acquire exciting and unusual television content from exceptionally challenging environments.
The Camera Corps equipment fleet includes HotShots, MiniShots, an array of remote specialist cameras and lenses, remote underwater systems, cranes, platforms and dollies. Equipment of Camera Corps' own design includes the iconic Q-Ball as well as many other bespoke camera systems.
Following the March 2014 acquisition of the Special Cameras division of SIS LIVE (formerly BBC Special Cameras Division), the Camera Corps inventory now includes world-leading systems such as Halibut HD, Plunge Cam, HD Pod, Cricket Stump Cam and Turn Cam plus a wide range of miniature devices such a wearable cameras with the latest high-performance wireless links.

CHAPTER X
8 Sep 92: Two French soldiers were killed and five wounded when their convoy drove into an ambush between the airport and Sarajevo. An internal UN investigation said that the convoy had driven into an ongoing battle after confusion from conflicting orders.
20 Oct 92: A convoy of British troops was caught in a crossfire between Moslem and Croat troops north of Split.
24 Feb 93: An independent French aid convoy reached Sarajevo after being forced to "donate" six of its 50 truckloads of supplies to the Serbian militias in Ilidza. (The Serbs usually confiscated 30 percent of all UN relief convoys.)
TOPIC: Convoy Planning
DISCUSSION: It would be wrong to expect the delivery of humanitarian aid to take place peacefully merely because limited numbers of UN troops are escorting it. Even if the official belligerent policy is to let convoys pass peacefully, the odds are that some local commanders will disobey orders. Even if convoys are allowed to pass peacefully, the other belligerents, desperate to continue the fighting, may fire on convoys and pin the blame on their enemies.
LESSON(S): During the planning phase for convoys, include negotiating with belligerents for routes.
To compensate for a lack of detailed maps, reconnoiter areas in advance of the convoy movement. Route reconnaissance provides a means to check trafficability of the roads.
If possible, guides should return to the main element at the completion of the reconnaissance to help the unit follow the route to the remote sights in the country. Deviation from planned routes can cause lengthy delays in needed supplies.
Rehearse actions to take when confronted with mines, obstacles, ambush, vehicle breakdown, accidents, and casualty evacuation.
TOPIC: Convoy Vulnerability
DISCUSSION: UN convoys are routinely attacked by belligerents. Convoys are vulnerable to long-range fire from manpacked ATGMs and light, mobile, direct fire artillery. The main threat for convoys is likely to be an ambush. Clearing routes, even by ground reconnaissance, is likely to be of limited value, given the use of remotely controlled mines, demolitions, and perhaps mines remotely delivered by multiple rocket launchers. In steep terrain with heavily wooded slopes, with careful preparation, it will always be possible to spring a surprise ambush. The traditional answer of placing troops on the high ground will not serve to protect the convoys. Convoys will have to be task-organized to provide their own resources for protection and immediate counterattack. Large numbers of dismounted antitank weapons and automatic small arms can do considerable damage in a short-range ambush. Suppressive fire and infantry counterattack by the convoy escort and supporting helicopters are likely to be countered by the use of prepositioned smoke pots and antipersonnel mines to enable the ambushers to slip away.
LESSON(S):
All convoys should be escorted by an armor heavy advance guard force to detect ambushes, breach obstacles, detect mines, and to possibly deter attacks by belligerents.
Position the advance guard three to five kilometers ahead of the main body.
Consider using Remotely Piloted Vehicles (RPVs) and helicopters to over-fly the route in advance of the convoy.
The main body should also be led by armored vehicles and every third or forth vehicle should be a fighting vehicle.
Minimize the use of trailers in the convoy. Trailers hinder the mobility of the convoy and its ability to react to ambushes.
A strong reserve force or rear guard should trail the convoy to respond if the convoy is attacked.
The rear guard should also be armor-heavy to discourage attacks.
Convoys should be totally self-contained. Convoys must have additional fuel, food, maintenance, recovery, medical, and their own indirect fire support assets.
Attack helicopters should be used to overwatch convoy routes and to assist the advance guard to force their way through belligerent checkpoints.
The convoy commander should be in the second or third vehicle in the main body.
Maintain convoy integrity and dispersion at all times.
Conduct a thorough IPB and route reconnaissance to determine the location of belligerent checkpoints.
Do not bring the main body of the convoy into the gauntlet of obstacles at belligerent checkpoints until the belligerents have permitted advanced guard of the convoy to move through the checkpoint. This gives the main body the flexibility to maneuver if attacked.
Have communications between all vehicles and have redundant communications between the advance guard and the main body.
Be aware that the belligerents may track the convoys along their routes and will want to verify the number of vehicles in the convoy at each checkpoint.
TOPIC: Convoy Debrief Checklist
DISCUSSION: The use of a standardized checklist can greatly enhance the intelligence collection effort and minimize trainup time. Units presented with nontraditional intelligence requirements should develop a detailed checklist to ensure the completeness and standardization of the collection effort.
LESSON(S): Use a convoy checklist to debrief convoy personnel to ensure the standardization of the intelligence collection effort. Use the following checklist as an example.
Use a SALUTE report when reporting the size, activity, location, unit, time, and equipment of belligerents seen during a convoy.
Report any changes in road conditions (pot holes, collapsed culverts, damaged bridges).
Report acts of violence directed toward the convoy (aiming of weapons, rock throwing, location and number of personnel).
Report incidents of hostile intent by civilians directed toward the convoy (shouting, jeering, impeding operations, number of personnel, nature of incident, location).
Report incidents of shots fired at or around a convoy (location, number of personnel, type weapons, action taken, casualties).
Report incidents of convoys being stopped by or harassed by roadblocks (location, number of personnel, nature of incident, action taken).
Report thefts from convoys (items taken, description of thief, location, action taken).
