Two policemen, nine others die in pro-Biafra protest in Onitsha
in Featured, News
Onitsha, the Southeast's commercial engine-room, was boiling yesterday as pro-Biafra protest turned bloody.
It was the second day of the planned three-day blockade of the Onitsha Head Bridge – the gateway to the East from the Western part of the country.
The protests have been raging in Southeast capitals and Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, in the last few weeks. The call has been for the release of detained leader of the Independent People of Biafra (IPOB) who is also the coordinator of underground Biafra Radio.
Kanu, who is based abroad, was arrested on arrival in the country in October. He has been charged to court in Abuja by the Directorate of State Services (DSS).
No fewer than 11 persons, including two policemen, were killed during the fracas that followed a clash between the protesters and the Joint Task Force (JTF).
The JTF comprises soldiers, policemen, naval ratings and men of the Civil Defence.
A mosque on Sokoto Road was burnt along with eight trucks marked "Dangote Group" packed within the premises.
Anambra State Governor Willie Obiano called for calm in a broadcast as the situation degenerated into a near total breakdown of law and order in Anambra's biggest city.
The governor warned mischief makers to steer clear of the state.
The clash began as the JTF men moved to dismantle the barricade put on the Onitsha Head Bridge.
The blockage of the bridge on both side Onitsha and Asaba ends started on Tuesday and stalled inter-state travels, crippling economic activities.
The protesters blocked the highway between 2.pm on Tuesday till 2.30am yesterday, when the JTF moved in.
They also made bonfires on the Onitsha-Enugu Expressway.
The encounter left about nine people dead, five at the Niger Bridge Head, three at Obodoukwu Road, and a hawker who was said to have been hit by a stray bullet. He died instantly.
Miscreants, on hearing that some people had been shot dead, marched on the Central Mosque near Onitsha Main Market and set it ablaze. A Hilux van with Federal Government number was also burnt.
It was like a war situation, with sporadic shootings and people scampering for safety.
All markets in Onitsha were shut down, traders took to their heels.
It was alleged that the killings of the IPOB members got members of the Movement for the Actualisation of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) to join forces with their colleagues to repel the JTF.
Commercial motorcyclists banned on the highways by the state government made brisk business and had a field day. Motocycles were the only means of coming in and out of Onitsha.
IPOB National Coordinator Mr. Chidiebere Onwudiwe alleged that five of its members were killed; 18 were injured.
He said, he learnt that more people had been killed in the sporadic shootings at Upper Iweka, but he could only confirm the killing that involved his members.
The Nation gathered that Chief Rommy Ezeownwuka (Rojeny), the Ogirisi Igbo, who is said to be respected by MASSOB and IPOB youths, was attacked at about 1.35 am when he went to appeal to the protesting youths at the Niger Bridge Head.
The Campaign for Democracy (CD), South East Chairman, Dede Uzor, said: "IPOB has been peaceful in their protest and there should not be any reason to open fire on them by security agencies.
"We are also calling for the unconditional release of Nnamdi Kanu and other IPOB and MASSOB members in detention."
The former President of Igede Development Association, Anambra State Branch, Chief Patrick Akobo, said the Igbo had built Nigeria and could not afford to abandon what they built.
"The only thing they should do is to empower themselves and be like the Japanese that the world is relying on now, and at the end of the day, the whole Nigeria will rely on them because of their God-given talent."
Anambra State police spokesman Ali Okechukwu confirmed the killing of two policemen by the protesters. He said one of them was a sergeant.
He also confirmed that eight Dangote trucks and the mosque on Sokoto Road were burnt.
Biafran activists yesterday washed their hands of the burning of the Onitsha Central Mosque and vehicles.
They, however, claimed that eight of their members, including two women were shot dead in Onitsha.
In a statement by the leader of a faction of the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), Uchenna Madu, the activists laid the blame at the doorstep of the federal authorities who want to impress that they were violent.
The statement said: "The setting of Onitsha central mosque, vehicles ablaze and making of bornfires which depict violence are not done by members of IPOB or MASSOB under my leadership. This unwarranted acts of violence are perfected by hoodlums sponsored by agents of the federal to create the impression that the non-violent and peaceful pro-Biafran group has turned violent on our agitation for Biafra.
"With today's killing of our members and injuring many with bullet shots, we are no longer comfortable with Presidency's move for dialogue. Federal Government's move for dialogue is hypocritical and deceitful.
"Any Igbo group, organisation and persons negotiating, or meeting with the Presidency on our behalf without our consent or mandate should stop now.
"MASSOB, led by Comrade Uchenna Madu and IPOB, led by Nnamdi Kanu, have never mandated any person to negotiate for us."
Obiano, in his broadcast, said: "I wish to address you on the on-going protest staged in Onitsha by the members of the Indigenous People of Biafra and MASSOB.
"The government of Anambra State has been monitoring developments and is greatly concerned about the security of lives and property of residents and visitors to the state.
"As your Governor and Chief Security Officer of the state, I am compelled to act to avert any likely breakdown of law and order. In all situations, the preservation of human life comes first and I am determined to enforce that.
"Since the inception of my administration, we have made the security of lives and property our priority and we are not going to compromise on that.
"I therefore, sincerely appeal to the members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), MASSOB and other aggrieved groups and individuals to maintain the peace and resist any attempt by hoodlums to take advantage of the situation and destabilize any part of Anambra State.
"I am in constant touch with all the security agencies in the state to ensure that what has otherwise been a peaceful protest is not hijacked by trouble makers.
"All mischief makers are hereby warned to keep off as we will not tolerate any breach of peace under any guise or pretext. You are seriously warned!.
"I, therefore, wish to assure Ndi Anambra and all visitors to the state to go about their normal business peacefully as the security agencies are on top of the situation to preserve law and order," the governor said.

A basic routine that will push you just a bit further. Give it a go and see how it feels.
Again, another well explained class that gave me confidence to the exercises thoroughly. Definitely making progress!
Love all the exercises in this class. Very clear and well demonstrated. I already became a fan of this website:) thank you.
The beginning of week 4 of Toned & Lean Basic and I enjoyed the class. Very clear instructions; which was very beneficial since the picture 'froze' half way through the class. All the same I was able to complete the class. Thank you!
Another really good class . The instruction is so clear.


Fuel is sucked in from a fuel tank by the electric gasoline pump located in a fuel tank and moves via the fuel filter to injectors. The regulator of pressure supports fuel pressure in system to constants.
Information arriving from various sensors, and the teams arriving to executive bodies ensure optimum functioning of the engine in any mode. If sensors fail, the monitor switches in emergency operation to exclude damages of the engine and to provide possibility of the further movement of the car. Failure of sensors not necessarily has to be felt on deterioration of operation of the engine. However no later than the next review period of the fulfilled gases data on it will be brought in memory of malfunctions of a control system of the engine.
- Zadatchik of idling operates amount of air idling bypassing a butterfly valve. It provides maintenance of constant number of turns idling irrespective of connection of additional consumers as, for example, the power steering or the compressor of cooling.
- The system of ventilation of a fuel tank consists of an adsorber and the locking valve. In an adsorber fuel couples which are formed as a result of fuel heating accumulate. During the operation of the engine of couple otsysyvatsya from an adsorber and move in engine combustion chambers.
- The ignition tension monitoring system at too low voltage switches-off the DME block (for example, owing to damage of a cable). Thus the engine cannot be started. It excludes damages of the catalytic converter.
- 320i, 323i, 328i: The system of regulation of phases of gas distribution (the moments of opening and closing of inlet and final valves) which is shortly called by Doppel VANOS turns both camshafts in relation to asterisks on the corner providing optimum phases of gas distribution on any power setting and consequently optimum idling, high characteristics of a torque and lowered fuel consumption. Turn is carried out under pressure of oil. For this purpose the DME system via the electrooperated valve regulates oil pressure in the operating VANOS element.
- The adjustable inlet pipeline depending on number of turns of the engine regulates length of the inlet pipeline. For this purpose the rotary gate with pneumomanagement is installed in the inlet pipeline. Big length of the pipeline at low number of turns thanks to a resonance provides good filling of cylinders and by that higher torque. At a large number of turns length of the soaking-up path decreases that increases engine capacity potential.

Modi's legacy as Gujarat CM burden on country's communal history: Mayawati
Lucknow ; BSP president Mayawati on Wednesday claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's legacy as the Gujarat chief minister is a black spot for himself and the BJP, as well as a burden on the communal history of the country.
Mayawati alleged that the prime minister had crossed all limits of decency in terming the Bahujan Samaj Party her personal property.
"The entire country knows that most of those having benami properties and the corrupt are connected with the BJP," she said, claiming that Modi is honest only on paper, just like he is an OBC only on paper.
The BSP chief said her tenures as Uttar Pradesh chief minister had been clean.
"PM Modi has been the Gujarat CM for a longer time than me, but his legacy is such that it is a black spot not only on himself, but also on the BJP and a burden on the communal history of the country," she said.
Mayawati retorted to Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley for holding her "unfit" for public life post her personal attack on Modi.
"His (Modi's) tenure, not only as Gujarat CM, but also as the PM, has been full of anarchy, violence, tension and hatred," she said. "It can be said that he has been a failure in holding public office and is also unfit. He failed to adhere to the Indian culture and Constitution and has been unfit as the PM of the country."
Mayawati alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party and Modi were different in reality than what they show themselves to be. "They made all efforts to defame me, but it all proved futile as our accounts are clear and the BSP is like an open book," she said.
Terming note ban the "biggest scam", the BSP leader said it is also an issue which needs investigation.
The country also knows what the BJP's politics is in not getting back the black money from abroad, she added.

Fall bus service changes start Monday September 6
A lineup for the 99 B-Line when school is in session.
With September comes the start of the school year and a ramp-up for many businesses—so starting Monday, September 6, we're making our quarterly bus service adjustments to reflect these changed travel patterns.
While I've already mentioned the trolley bus service returning to Granville Mall on September 7, there are also a number of other service changes which we've just posted on our website. So make sure to check out the full list of transit service changes to see if your route is affected!
Here are the major highlights:
The Capilano University Exchange on Monashee Drive is closed for construction. There will be temporary changes to bus pick-up and drop-off locations — check out this map.
We've reorganized the bus bays at New Westminster Station bus loop — here's a map of the changes.
The C21 peak hour extension to Burrard Station is being discontinued, with service now terminating at Davie and Pacific. Customers travelling to or from Burrard Station should use the Canada Line or Burrard Street buses. Here's a map of the changes! Edit: Btw, I'm told that resources saved from the discontinuation of the C21 peak extension to Burrard Station will be re-invested to help reduce peak period crowding on the Davie Street portion of the C23 Main Street Stn/Davie Community Shuttle. In case you were wondering!
And as I've mentioned, trolley buses are back on Granville Street starting September 7. Probably the biggest and most important change to know about!
We adjust bus service like this four times a year, reflecting major passenger ebbs and flows in April, June, September, and December. Look out for the next set of changes in December! And please pass this along to anyone who might find this useful!
State of the System | Jhenifer Pabillano - Buzzer Editor
Fall transit service changes start today
Look out: bus service changes start Monday, May 3
Reminder: bus service changes start today, September 3, 2012
Service changes start this Monday, December 3, 2012!
Summer transit service changes start on Monday, June 24, 2013
By Matt, August 23, 2010 @ 3:27 pm
After looking at schedules for the community shuttles in this New Westminster shake-up, what appears to be occurring is service hours are being removed from Quayside and given to Victoria Hill. During rush hour Quayside will now have 6 buses an hour between NW Stn and Quayside, and during non-peak hours we will have 4 buses per hour, as opposed to the current 8 buses per hour all day. And all this occurred without any community consultation. Full analysis of the changes from the Quayside Community Board (local residents association): http://quaysideboard.com/2010/08/23/wheres-my-bus-stop/
By Jhenifer Pabillano - Buzzer Editor, August 23, 2010 @ 3:32 pm
Thanks Matt: I'll pass this along and see if there is a response.
By Robert, August 23, 2010 @ 5:19 pm
In the 'transit service changes' link, there is a link for Burrard Station and re-assignments of bus bays 1 and 4. Appears the #5 Robson is omitted from Bay 1 (true after December 2010 but not yet). Should there be the #5 Downtown on Bay 5 as well?
Robert: forwarding for a response!
By Rob, August 23, 2010 @ 6:52 pm
How are they going to fit articulated buses on 49th route? I get dirty looks from drivers driving 40ft buses at Elgin st. because the stop is so narrow :)
They should be running some of them off peak too, some of the worst passups I was getting were around 11-1pm.
By Jacob, August 23, 2010 @ 7:18 pm
Why are they discontinuing the C21 to Burrard Station!!!
I loved that route SO MUCH :(
By Jhenifer Pabillano - Buzzer Editor, August 24, 2010 @ 9:34 am
Robert: I'm told that since the #5 reroute is only temporary, the loop map hasn't been updated.
Jacob: CMBC planning let me know what's going on with the C21.
After reviewing ridership, customer feedback and Operator feedback regarding the C21 peak extension to Burrard Station we determined that the resources used on the C21 peak extension would be more valuably used on the regular C21/C23 service (which regularly experiences peak period pass-ups along Davie Street). This is also in coordination with the success of the Canada Line which now provides a direct connection with Yaletown and the downtown core.
Rob: Here's what CMBC planning has said.
CMBC is currently working with the City of Vancouver to extend all of the bus stops used by the #49 to accommodate the introduction of the larger vehicles in September.
By Gary, August 24, 2010 @ 10:04 am
Hi Jhenifer (what an interesting way to spell your name): It looks like TransLink's Service Rationalization Initiative is pitting one group of riders against another. For example, those travelling from Yaletown to Davie on the C23 receive better service while those who want the C21 to downtown are out of luck. And in New West, those in Quayside receive less service on the new C8, while those in Victoria Hill will receive new service on the C3. Can you ask your planners what the future holds? Will we have more tradeoffs? Will high ridership routes in Vancouver be reduced so that Surrey can have more service?
By David M, August 24, 2010 @ 12:13 pm
HI Jhenifer
Rationalisation of service is jargon for service cuts in one area to allow increases in another – in other words, no net increases in service hours. I would advise your planners and decision makers to please do not try to hide the service cuts – they're important to those they affect and there should be adequate consultation in advance.
Gary & David, you're absolutely right. Because of the service hours freeze due to budget constraints, a growing region has no choice but to shuffle a finite number of service hours around. The idea that a growing region shouldn't have a corresponding growing number of service hours is ludicrous.
Personally, I grumble and am certainly not happy about this situation, but I do also understand Translink is doing what they can with what they're given. I make sure when I see some of these Translink people in person I ensure they know I do respect the work they're doing, even if I'm not happy with the situation and decisions they might make in some circumstances. The blame really lies with the politicians (particularly the province and feds) who refuse to give adequate and consistent funding for public transit. We're the only western nation without a national public transit strategy. We have politicians who claim to care about global warming and mode shift, but won't actually fund any action on these fronts.
Until we do get the proper funding that public transit deserves this is a battle we'll see in future sheets, neighbourhoods pitted against each other for finite scraps of service hours. And I personally feel no guilt in grumbling because I know every time I go to the ballot box I vote for candidates who would make transit a priority (true, some of those times that candidate is myself… :)
By Gary, August 24, 2010 @ 2:40 pm
Matt & David (and Jhenifer), if they are going the rationalization route, I sure hope they only cut where ridership is low. What I fear is that they will transfer service hours out of a particular municipality where ridership is high (e.g. Vancouver or Burnaby) and transfer those hours to a newly developing area (e.g. Clayton in Surrey) where ridership will be low. That will just make a lot of people angry and upset. And David is right, why hide cuts? They are what they are. CUTS.
Gary, David M, Matt: I passed along Gary's comments to the planning staff at TransLink, and here's the response—it touches on some questions/concerns in all of your comments posted so far.
Gary's concerns are valid but be assured we are not trying to pit one sub-region against another when looking for opportunities to strategically re-allocate resources from lower productivity services to higher productivity services.
The goal of the Service Optimization Initiative is to optimize current levels of transit resources in order to meet the needs of customers, communities and TransLink's financial objectives. While overall service levels will be maintained across the region, some service resources will be redirected to the places and times where they are most needed: where crowding is most significant, where markets for transit service are developing and growing, and where higher revenue can be generated.
TransLink is mindful that some parts of the region generate transit ridership in greater numbers than others; what constitutes a productive transit service in one area may look unproductive compared to another. Despite these sub-regional differences in system productivity, TransLink is aware of the need to protect services in areas that are experiencing substantial ridership and population growth. TransLink is also aware that to achieve our long-term goals and objectives for sustainable transportation in the region we must continue to make significant gains in areas which currently generate low transit mode share but have great potential for transit use. This inevitably means accommodating periods of lower productivity in some areas until people's travel preferences change with changes in land use, population density and employment opportunities.
Transit service levels will certainly be re-allocated within each individual sub-region (like both the C21/C23 and C3/C4/C8 projects) but our goal is to meet the objectives of the Service Optimization Initiative without significantly changing the sub-regional share of transit resources. To that end, the Service Optimization Initiative has developed some guiding principles for optimizing service. One of those principles is to the greatest degree possible reduce and re-invest service in the same sub-region.
I'm not saying that transit resources won't ever be re-allocated between sub-regions, only that we will try to minimize that as best as possible.
Regarding public consultation on Service Optimization, TransLink will work to ensure that the local and regional stakeholders have timely and accurate information about the Service Optimization Initiative, and have ongoing access to such information. As well, TransLink will seek out and encourage the involvement of those who may be affected by the project locally and regionally, and solicit input from a broad range of local and regional residents and interests so that their input can help shape the project.
Matt: here's the response to your questions about the C3/C4/C8 from planning at TransLink.
Thanks very much for your inquiry. The New Westminster community shuttles were introduced in 2003 and have been very successful thus far. Over the past several years we have received requests for improved frequency, reliability, and better access in Fraserview.
In response, we have changed routes and improved schedule efficiencies with the revised September shuttle services, while maintaining key connections. After monitoring ridership, we have created service frequencies that reflect demand. Overall, the new services do improve service quality at no additional cost. Here are some highlights about the new service:
Current service on Quayside Drive:
Every 15 minutes (in each direction)
New service on Quayside Drive:
Every 10 minutes (on one consistent route). Customers will not need to walk between bus stops to get good service. The C8 will have one of the highest service frequencies in New Westminster.
The current service frequency is unreliable, meaning customers have to wait longer than they anticipate. Unreliable service also means more crowding on trips when the shuttle arrives late, and underutilized capacity when the shuttle arrives too early.
The new service frequency will be more reliable. We have changed the routing and schedules so that the C8 Quayside service is not impacted by Pattullo Bridge congestion on the C3 and C4. Customers can now expect a shuttle every 10 minutes and consistent five minute travel times to/from New Westminster Station. TransLink will be monitoring the C8's reliability and ridership to ensure that the schedule is effective and 10 minute service is appropriate for passenger levels.
Improved Transit Access
Scheduling and operating efficiencies are being re-invested into New Westminster's Victoria Hill area, a growing neighbourhood with seniors' residences and facilities, a daycare, and a hospital alongside townhomes and condominium developments. As well, improved service frequencies in Fraserview will reduce current crowding and pass-ups.
Quayside residents will still have direct access to services and shops at Columbia Square Plaza. The C8 will stop on Carnarvon between 10th and McNeely, and will also provide service to New Westminster Quay's new grocery store opening in the fall.
As well, if residents are travelling between Quayside and Uptown, they can stay on the shuttle. Some C8 shuttles will continue on to Uptown as a C4 after New Westminster Station. This schedule is fairly consistent, and TransLink's trip planner < http://tripplanning.translink.ca/hiwire?.a=iTripPlanning&.s=%7b$SID%7d> , customer information (604.953.3333) and C8 shuttle drivers can assist customers if required.
New Westminster Station
Connectivity to New Westminster Station will change in September. TransLink has worked closely with the City to optimize access to curb space for transit services around the station during construction of the bus exchange on McNeely as well as the Plaza 88 and the City of New Westminster's Civic Centre construction. We appreciate our customers' patience during this time.
Again, we would like to emphasize that these services have been changed to address identified service issues, and we will continue to monitor service quality of these routes and welcome your feedback as part of this on-going process. TransLink will be hosting two open houses on August 31, 2010. Please join us to learn more about the service changes:

Gary: just one more thing, here is a response from both CMBC and TransLink planning about the specific services you were asking about.
In regards specifically to the question about the C21/C23, the goal is to make the best use of the existing resources while taking advantage of the improved access/network that the Canada Line provides. Similarly the C3 and C4 changes are also to more effectively shift the service within the same area to better reflect actual ridership profile and demand.
By Sewing, August 24, 2010 @ 4:08 pm
Jhenifer:
I don't want to jump on the bandwagon here, but what's the rationale for reducing frequencies on the 97 B-Line in the early evenings? There doesn't seem to be any corresponding service increase on any other Tri Cities route.
#97 buses are usually carrying full loads out of Lougheed Station at that time. (I'm often riding it home at that time if I didn't make my 160 connection from Downtown.) Are more articulated buses going to be added to pick up the slack?
I see two things in that response regarding the C3/4/8. On one hand they're saying the separation increases reliability because Quayside buses won't get stuck in Pattullo Bridge traffic, fine, that's a fair enough statement.
On the other hand they're saying runs will still be through routed to Uptown to maintain connections, in otherwords the bus going to Quayside will also be going uptown, effectively just a name route number change rather than a true segregation of the piece of the route.
So which is it? Either the Quayside bus will be segregated from the Uptown segment, increasing reliability or it continues to through-route to Uptown maintaining connections (and getting stuck in Pattullo Bridge traffic). You can't have it both ways.
I suspect we'll get the worst of both in this compromise. Buses will still get stuck in Pattullo Bridge traffic trying to get back to Quayside and 7.5 minute service from NW Station to Quayside will suddenly be 10 minute service during rush hour. In otherwords, increased overcrowding when buses are late.
Worse, because the C3/4/8 didn't follow the other buses to Carnarvon transferring will be harder for passengers (take out some more parking meters New West, actually commit to transit priority).
A stop on Carnarvon between 10th & McNeely is not equivalent to a stop right out front of Columbia Square (I wonder if the merchants at Columbia Square know yet that the City has sacrificed them for the new Plaza 88) for those with mobility issues.
And the routing that services the new River Market goes the wrong direction for seniors trying to get their groceries home. It will take them there, but boarding at the market takes them to NW Station. And with this talk of through-routing of some runs, it could take them all the way Uptown before they get home with their groceries.
As for the service rationalization in general, with any service level reduction, there becomes a point when the entire service loses viability. If you want to be a peak-hour only service provider, that's fine, let people know that. But once you cut too much off-peak service and people can no longer depend on a route to always be there, they don't. Its far better to provide fewer routes really well than more routes in a mediocre fashion. At least with the former residents know which neighbourhoods are good for transit usage and which neighbourhoods that be choosing to live there you should expect to live a car oriented life.
Its a choice we're going to have to make very clear in the future. If you select to live in a low density neighbourhood far from any amenities, the trade off is you will not have transit service. Nothing is free, you can not have your cake and eat it too. For those who have selected higher housing costs in higher density neighbourhoods transit becomes viable. If we are expected to give equal transit service to the sprawling sub-divisions of Langley and such that is a subsidy by the inner municipalities on the cheaper housing selected by those in the outer municipalities.

"Service rationalization" should be used when we reduce service in 1 area, and use the savings in another area. On the other hand, "cuts" should be used when service reduction isn't compensated for.
Maybe there isn't a budget for a certain service, even though ridership is okay. Just because Translink will reduce service, it doesn't mean that Translink will increase service in other areas.

To Matt:
Probably a bit of both. Pulling the schedule data from the GTFS feed, I found out that almost all buses are running in the C8(W) -> C8(E) -> C3/C4(E) -> C3/C4(W) -> C8(W) -> C8(E) -> … pattern, with layover/recovery point placed just before the start of most westbound C4 and westbound C8, and no recovery when eastbound C8 turned into eastbound C3 and C4 (as well as the turnaround at the end of the C3 run). That means most bus would have about 5~10min of recovery time before it begins the C8 service. It also means that returning trips to Quayside will not be interlined unless the operator allows you to stay on the bus during the recovery time.
To Sewing:
Again from the GTFS data, the cut on the 97 isn't even close to be enough to compensate for the extra time the 177 and 791 takes to go around the construction site at King Edward…
After looking at the C21/C23 map, does that mean that both peak hour and non peak hour buses will have the same route?
Snowystar:
Is that what it is–that one or two extra buses are needed to maintain schedule reliablity on other routes?
@snowystar:
I did some quick greps and awks on the GTFS feed last week and noticed that, however I haven't had time to fully familiarize myself with all the fields so I wasn't sure if these runs were being interlined (side note, if you know any good tools to visualize GTFS data I'd love to hear about them, I saw on the transit-data Google group a new SQL parser was released last week).
The main issue with reliability to Quayside during the PM rush has always been the current schedule assumes it takes the exact same amount of time to do a round trip on the C3 or C4 no matter what time of day it is. We of course all know that isn't realistic, and if it wasn't a contracted out service and had to pass through the CMBC sheet committee such unrealistic scheduling would never be allowed to pass.
There were some simple solutions. They have a "rush hour express" that just does the southern half of the route, unfortunately this gets out of whack as well so you often get two shuttles in a row followed by a gap. The proper solution would have been to add this additional bus to the full rotation and increase the running time on the two routes.
The other solution would have been to discontinue the IGA loop-back to NW Station during the PM rush just as they discontinue the Fraser River Discovery Centre branch during the peak hours. Some operators already do short turning themselves at Renaissance Sq when running late, one operator VERY consistently does this (I've just never said anything because he's a nice guy and does deserve a relief). Consistently to the point I've given up on catching Quayside bound buses from the IGA during the PM rush and get my groceries elsewhere.
Anyhow, in summary, there were solutions to the Quayside reliability issues. However they wouldn't have addressed the need for increased service levels to Victoria Hill. But that should have been a separate debate, not taking from Peter to pay Paul.

I gladly welcome artics on 49 ave…. too many are left behind between Victoria and Cambie. It's even worse with Canada Line now operating. We may need some bus only lanes at Cambie & Main, we well as approaches to Knight & Victoria intersections.
At times of cutbacks and restraints. I support redeploying under-utilized capacity onto high demand routes.
By Nick, August 24, 2010 @ 9:47 pm
Articulated buses on 49th? Thank you. Thank you so much. The overcrowding on the 49 (especially one Friday where the bus was packed to the doors pretty much all the way from Langara to Metrotown) caused me to abandon it in favor of the 100 a few weeks into my first semester. That route has been in dire need of articulated buses…now really the only suggestion I have is to have the short-turns from Langara to Metrotown leave at 2/3:40 instead of 2/3:10 in order to better coincide with the end of classes, as most classes at Langara end at twenty past the hour rather than ten to.
By Sean (CMBC), August 25, 2010 @ 4:51 am
Yes, articulated buses are coming to s-o-m-e- of the #49's… I believe the initial number is 6 buses/runs will be articulated… Weekdays only… CMBC will "monitor" the service for the first few weeks of September, and add more buses if really needed…
By Jhenifer Pabillano - Buzzer Editor, August 25, 2010 @ 10:11 am
Sewing: here's the response from CMBC planning.
The change to the #97, effective September 7, is to reduce frequency between Lougheed Station and Coquitlam Station to every 12 minutes from every 10 minutes, Monday to Friday between approximately 6:15 pm to 9:15 pm. A review of ridership has indicated that this change will have minimal impact for customers. Corresponding service improvements with the Coquitlam area are likely to occur later in the year.
Robert: an update. It looks like owing to your request and that of many others, the loop map WILL now have the #5 shown on Bay 1. Yay!
Jacob: yes, you are correct about the C21/C23 routes.
Thanks, Jhenifer.
By Shaelon Dawson, August 25, 2010 @ 11:15 pm
I dont mind these changes, I wish the 130 Would start Articulated Bus Service as the line-ups at Metrotown Station are absolutely terrible, even with the 125 Operating. I believe the 130 would benefit greatly off Articulated Bus Service. Other thing I feel is needed is extended 15 Minute Service on weekdays, and throughout the weekends. (Make it a Frequent Transit Network Route, its highly needed)
On the 144 That is. (THE FTN POST)
By Jacob, August 26, 2010 @ 9:37 am
After the 3 and 20 changes, are those buses still going to change to the other one when it gets to downtown?
Jacob: here's the answer from CMBC planning.
Nope. We're splitting the 3/20 interline starting in September. This should improve the service reliability for both of those routes.
By JMS, August 27, 2010 @ 10:21 am
Any new routes coming out? I heard on Wikipedia that there's going to be a B-line along King George Boulevard (399) in the future….
By Sean (CMBC), August 28, 2010 @ 3:53 pm
To "JMS", The funding for Translink has been frozen at 2009 levels for the forseeable future, meaning no new routes… Just "tweeking" of existing hours… Some of the least used hours of service may be reduced or eliminated and then put where they are most needed, such as U-Pass routes and busy routes like that… The #399 B-line will happen, but not until the funds are budgeted… Same as the planned new community route linking Langley with White Rock via the new Grandview Corners area of south Surrey… And the planned B-line along Hastings taht would repalce the #135… all on hold for now…
I did notice that the planned new transit centre in the Hamilton area of Richmond was out to tender about 3 weeks ago? They want someone to plan, design and ultimately build a new depot in each Richmond…
By Jimmy, August 30, 2010 @ 12:36 pm
What does Amber Alert mean? because yesterday every bus said "AMBER ALERT, LISTEN TO RADIO".
on their destination signs.
@Jimmy… Have a look at http://www.amberalert.gov/
Basically a child is in danger and law enforcement needs your assistance in tracking a vehicle or individual down.
Here's the history and how the program got it's name. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMBER_Alert#History

How These Non-Merchants Boost Shopify
Amazon has built an amazing e-commerce business fueled by a strategic framework of a spinning flywheel. The idea is that more customers bring more sellers, who bring more variety, at a lower cost, all resulting in more customers, more sellers, etc. As the e-commerce giant improves any part of this flywheel, it accelerates.
This same concept is at play for Shopify (NYSE: SHOP), which posted impressive 68% revenue growth in Q1-2018 thanks to the success of its merchants, who sold $8 billion worth of products on its e-commerce platform. Many of these merchants have come to depend on the company's extensive partner network, which is a crucial part of its flywheel (pictured below). The importance of this network was underlined recently with a series of enhancements. Who are these partners, how is Shopify helping them, and how do they contribute to the company's incredible growth?
Expert to advise
When an entrepreneur embarks on building an online business, the journey isn't smooth. Shopify aims to make things easier for its merchants to start and run their e-commerce store. One way is through its network of experts who can help owners with specific problems. Today, this network includes professionals who specialize in setting up businesses on the platform, website designers, marketers, and photographers. But in the future, COO Harley Finkelstein says, it will expand to include "lawyers, accountants, writers ... and consultants of all types."
The company has announced Shopify Services Marketplace, which it calls "a place where Shopify merchants will be able to find, hire, and transact with vetted Shopify Partners." Not only will this service assist merchants, it helps experts build their business with tools like algorithm-driven lead generation, built-in communication, and integrated payments. "Our plan is to build the largest marketplace for small-business service providers on the planet," Finkelstein said.
App developers to help
From its early days, building functionality for what "most merchants need most of the time" guided priorities internally. But this left a gap for niche features needed for some businesses. In 2009 the company allowed third-party developers to create apps, and in 2012 created a centralized app store.
Starting this summer, Shopify will launch a redesigned app store with an improved user interface, making it even easier for merchants to find apps that complement their business. Shopify has also tried to make its developer interface more productive by putting all of what a developer needs in one place. It shares 80% of the revenue from apps with the developer, versus Apple's 70% by comparison. As a result, its developers have pulled in a total of $100 million in app revenue, with more than half of that in 2017.
Partners power the flywheel
During his presentation at Shopify's annual meeting with its partner network, Shopify CEO Tobi Lutke acknowledged his audience's contribution to the company's success:
Here are some reasons Lutke thanked the partner network: Over 85% of merchants have used the proffered experts, partners have designed 25,000 e-commerce stores, and merchants have downloaded apps more than 12 million times from the app store. These partners get more than a "thank you" for their efforts, they get paid well too. The sum total of revenues for the partner network exceeded the revenue from Shopify's core business for the last two years. Finkelstein presented the information in the graph below at the company's partner conference, and told the audience that "This is a great reminder that we create more value for you than we capture for ourselves."
On the surface, this may seem like the company is losing the opportunity for additional revenues, but with over 600,000 merchants, the company can't serve every need for every merchant. With a robust partner network of experts, bolt-on apps, and ready-to-use webstores, it makes the entire ecosystem that much more valuable for its customers, and the results have been tremendous.
Since 2012, monthly recurring revenue from merchant subscription fees has grown at a staggering 75% compound annual growth rate. This could not have been achieved without efforts to empower and enrich its partner network, which in turn enables merchants to do their best. Lutke explained in his letter to shareholders earlier this year why this is important: "We succeed when our merchants succeed. Our merchants succeed when we make commerce better for everyone -- and we've never been more ready to do so."

Francis Parker Yockey (right). Date, location, & friend unknown.
This week, our fundraising appeal is from Kerry Bolton, who is authoring what will surely be the definitive biography of Francis Parker Yockey. Recently, I paid a substantial amount for Yockey-related materials that belonged to the late Willis Carto. Thus I am making a special appeal to cover the cost of that purchase. I will make all these items available to Dr. Bolton and other researchers.
Given the obscurity and underground character of Francis Parker Yockey's life, researchers continue to uncover a surprising amount of material that has lain buried for decades, in personal and official collections and files. For example, Greg Johnson has just purchased Willis Carto's Yockey-related books and papers (more than 200 pages of documents), including previously unseen family photos; correspondence with Yockey's wife Alice, daughter Isolde, and sister Vinette Coyne; correspondence with H. Keith Thompson, Anthony Gannon, Peter Huxley-Blythe, and Keith Stimely; and a great deal of other material that throws light on Yockey's life and ideas.
For instance, although it was assumed that all FBI files on Yockey had been published online, there are new FBI files in the Carto papers, including one containing excerpts from a large number of Yockey letters. Also of historic importance are Carto's notes from his meeting with Yockey at the San Francisco Jail and the letter written by Carto to Yockey suggesting a defense strategy based on turning the trial into a propaganda platform for Imperium, and using certain key words to appeal to liberal sensibilities, such as "civil rights" and "freedom of speech." Carto's notes on his meeting with Yockey indicate that Yockey intended to stand trial, but also that he was prepared for death. With the purchase of these documents from the Carto estate, Greg Johnson has again added to the corpus of Yockey material which will now be preserved for posterity rather than remaining in obscurity in a personal collection or being lost forever. This is one more reason why the work of Counter-Currents is essential and deserves your full support.
Since last week's update, Counter-Currents has received 18 donations (including 7 pledges for monthly support) totaling $1,822. This brings us up to a total of $48,750.06 raised for our fundraiser, more than 80% of our goal of $60,000. I am earmarking $5,000 of that amount to the purchase of the Yockey papers and other archival materials.
There are several ways you can help out.
"Hatreon" is like Patreon but for the "haters" who are being purged from Patreon as part of the vast ongoing deplatforming of white advocates and dissident Rightists. Hatreon helps creative dissidents enjoy steady, predictable incomes from patrons who make monthly pledges of support. Just go to my Hatreon profile page and make a pledge.
Published: November 6, 2017 | This entry was posted in news item and tagged 2017 fundraiser, Francis Parker Yockey, Kerry Bolton. Both comments and trackbacks are currently closed.
I delayed reading Yockey for years. I always thought he might be more sizzle than steak. Now I've just finished reading Coogan's "Dreamer of the Day", and I realize that the sizzle is equal to the steak.
Today, we have Putin and the Duganists creating a strategic counter-force of great scale and relative imperfection. Exploded scale demands compromise, but at least the Russians have a sense of racial-religious-cultural center. Then there is Hungary and Poland, and their rejection of Western Rainbow Humanism. Finally, there is Germany which is right where it's always been: caught in the middle between London and Moscow. Fluent in German, Yockey seemed to have more than understood Germany's pivotal place in European geography and destiny. He suffered for it. He gave his life for it.
As an American, Yockey is a bridge through time and space to high-stakes, and under-handed, European politics today. For years, Kerry Bolton has had his finger on the same mainspring that Yockey pressed: How to separate Germany from the NY/London/Tel Aviv axis? How to free European man from debt slavery and slavish thinking? I'm anxious to read Bolton's book.
Does anyone know what happened to the court official who suddenly joined a monastery after Yockey's mysterious death? He would be an interesting person to track down and interview.
Given that the same photo of Yockey in handcuffs was the only one available for decades, it is fascinating to see so many now turning up, mainly thanks to Greg's efforts. Hopefully they can all be included in the upcoming collection of Yockey MSS and letters.

On July 9, 2015, an individual sentenced to prison due to inability to pay a fine filed this lawsuit in Michigan Circuit Court for the County of Macomb. The plaintiff, represented by the Michigan ACLU filed the complaint requesting the court take superintending control over the 38th District Court, and order a district court to refrain from imposing "pay or stay" sentences on indigent defendants who do not have the ability to pay. The plaintiff claimed that this was the only adequate remedy, because individual appeals on a case-by-case basis would be too time consuming and burdensome to adequately address the problem. Further, filing an immediate appeal would not keep the defendant out of jail.
On March 8, 2016, Judge James M. Macaroni entered a stipulation and order of superintending control over the 38th District Court. The injunction, lasting a term of two years, states that the District Court can't sentence nor revoke probation for failure to comply with an order to pay money unless the defendant is able to pay. The order states that alternatives to payment can be used, like a payment plan, or waiver of some amount of the money owed to the extent it is permitted by law. Additionally, the order altered all sentences imposed on the defendant in pending cases before the court so that they complied with this order.
Plaintiff Description Individual sentenced to prison due to inability to pay a fine.

Manchester United star could be offered Serie A transfer escape route
Magnus Eriksen
Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku is reportedly a transfer target for Juventus as they consider replacing Mario Mandzukic up front.
It's fair to say the Belgium international has not hit his best form in his time at Old Trafford, despite getting off to a strong start at the club when he first joined from Everton last season.
MORE: In-form Manchester United star mysteriously absent from squad for Huddersfield game
Lukaku just doesn't seem the best fit for United, however, with his fitness and form looking well below par for much of this campaign.
At Everton, however, Lukaku was one of the most lethal finishers in Europe and it's little surprise that big clubs could still be in for him if he does leave Manchester.
According to Calciomercato, Juventus are keeping tabs on the 25-year-old's situation in what could be an ideal escape route for the player.

Lukaku would likely benefit from the slower pace of the Italian game, while he'd no doubt get plenty of quality service in this dominant Juve side.
This could be a move that benefits everyone involved if it ever comes off, though one imagines United would probably not want to make such a considerable change to their side in the middle of the season.

Q: Golang - Create Array of Struct? How to create an array of struct with user input ?
I am trying to create a loop that will get input from user for a struct and add it into an array of struct
package main

import "fmt"

type person struct {
    name string
    age  int
}

var n int
var p person
var list []person

func main() {
    //Enter your code here. Read input from STDIN. Print output to STDOUT
    fmt.Scanln(&n)
    for i := 0; i < n; i++ {
        var namez string
        var numberz int
        fmt.Scanln(&namez)
        fmt.Scanln(&numberz)
        list[i] = person{name: namez, age: numberz}

    }

}

A: You have used a slice instead of an array here, so you would need to append to the slice.
var list []person is a slice.
Slice e.g:
package main

import "fmt"

type person struct {
    name string
    age  int
}

var n int
var p person
var list []person

func main() {
    //Enter your code here. Read input from STDIN. Print output to STDOUT

Home Dog Breeds Australian Bulldog
Despite its ferocious ancestors, this breed has been developed exclusively as a pet animal. Although it looks intimidating, it is never used as a guard dog. It is sometimes called the Australian Bulldog.
This is a new breed, developed in Queensland, Australia, towards the end of the 20th century. It is the creation of dog-breeder Pip Nobes of Toowoomba, who loved the British Bulldog but was upset by the health problems it was encountering in its exaggerated, modern form.
Of course, bulldog experts are themselves undertaking selective breeding to eliminate these hazards, but Nobes took a more drastic step, using a mixture of breeds to create the 'perfect ' Australian Bulldog.
By making a series of controlled crosses with Boxer, Bullmastiff and Bull Terrier, a new bulldog breed was created. It was one that retained the temperament of the traditional bulldog, but gave it a healthier body. It has longer legs, a smaller head and chest, a less flattened muzzle and broader hips. Its height is 16—20 in (40—50 cm), compared with 12—14 in (31—36 cm) for the British Bulldog. Its weight is 55—77 lb (25—35 kg), compared with 50—55 lb (23—25 kg). In colour it is usually red or fawn or brindle, with white.
The Australian Bulldog has a temperament that has been colourfully described as "affectionate, elephantine and lazy". When it does become excited, it reveals a "bulldozing nature... that can bowl over unsuspecting adults". It is praised, however, for its friendly and outgoing personality, completely lacking in shyness, which makes it an ideal pet dog. Because it has been created purely as a household companion, no attempt has been made to draw up a breed standard, and there is no intention to enter it in competitive dog shows.

Arkansas Inmates Say They Were Given Ivermectin For COVID-19 Without Their Consent
People incarcerated in an Arkansas jail say the facility's physician prescribed them ivermectin to treat COVID-19 and that they weren't aware they were taking the drug.
The anti-parasite drug, typically used to deworm horses and cattle, has developed an unlikely ― and baseless ― reputation as a COVID treatment in humans, despite stern warnings from the Food and Drug Administration.
Washington County jail physician Dr. Rob Karas acknowledged in an interview with CBS affiliate KFSM that he prescribed ivermectin to incarcerated people with COVID symptoms, but said they were "not forced" to take the drug.
But accounts given by people in the facility call that claim into question.
"I asked what are they, and they'd just tell me vitamins," one inmate, Edrick Floreal-Wooten, told the Associated Press. "With me being sick and all of us being sick, we thought that they were there to help us. I never thought they would do something shady."
"They were pretty much testing us in here is all they were doing, seeing if it would work," said William Evans, another inmate who said he was given the drug for two weeks after he tested positive for COVID.
Floreal-Wooten told CBS that medicine in the jail is distributed via a pill drawer that obscures the bottles so people receiving the drugs can't see their labels. None of the inmates were aware of what they were taking until they read about it in the news, he added.
The practice only came to light after Dr. Karas prescribed ivermectin to a county employee after he tested negative for COVID. The employee sought a second opinion from his primary care physician, then alerted Eva Madison, a county official, who flagged it during a budget meeting.
Madison said she confronted Dr. Karas, who defended his actions by pointing to a website touting ivermectin despite the FDA's claims to the contrary. Madison characterized the website as "a little bit suspect."
"The employee had the good fortune to have a physician he could go to and ask for a second opinion. Our inmates do not have that choice," Madison said. "It's very disturbing to me that that's the level of medical care that we're providing to the folks down at the jail."
Documents obtained under a Freedom of Information Act request by the AP show the state Medical Board was already looking into complaints about Karas before the ivermectin allegations surfaced. Earlier complaints allege Karas was using social media to cast doubt on the use of face masks to slow the spread of COVID.
The Arkansas Medical Board is investigating the reports of Karas prescribing ivermectin but declined to elaborate in a statement to the AP. Karas did not immediately respond to a HuffPost request for comment.
In a letter to Washington County Sheriff Tim Helder last week, Gary Sullivan, the legal director of the ACLU of Arkansas, said the organization is considering legal action over the "unconscionable" allegations.

We are halfway though our trip to the UK today and there has been a lot of bread making happening at my parents house this week. My family are (nearly) all enthusiastic bakers.
Several years ago my sister and her husband went on a bread making course that transformed all of our approach to bread. The Bertinet method differs significantly from the bread making style that most of us have learned. Instead of kneading bread down, the bread is folded and lifted to catch air in it. The recipes are very simple and most bread is made from just flour, yeast, water and salt – no fat.
And of course it's all made by hand and without a breadmaker.
My mother now makes bread several times a week (the pizza and olive bread sticks are hers) and Jim has recently joined the family movement with some really great wholemeal and seed loaves.
But anyway, I did say that we are "nearly" all skilled bakers…. My father and I are the exception! My dad, who can turn his hand at anything practical, enters the kitchen only to repair things, and I am just lucky to have a husband whose culinary skills and enthusiasm eclipses my own – I am however a very appreciative consumer!
would fare better on a diet of more natural foods. Oh, well, off the soapbox and on to drooling over your homebaked goodness!
Hello from Lancaster Pennsylvania!! I'm visiting a good friend here, and I think we are on the same wave-length–Today I've been looking at the breads and pies made by the Amish people here–They are like the ones you mentioned in your post, simple and without all the additives, and are just as delicious!
I'm again like you, I am much better at "taking care and helping" with the finished project!! 🙂 HAPPY EASTER!!!
All we can say is – yum a dum dum. Bread making is an ancient art. For that matter, so is bread eating (my particular skill). May I have more please?
Thanks for the comments, it's nice to know we aren't the only people to get excited about the most simplest of foods!
Ninny, your experiment really says it all. White bread is dreadful stuff!
Kim, I've never had Amish bread, but I have had Hutterite bread in Canada and it was lovely. We did a tour of the colony and got to see them making it too.

Additions to My record Cover Art Collection in 2017 – Part Two
January 2, 2018 rockdoc999	2 Comments
I don't suppose I'll ever again be able to add as many covers to my collection as I did in 2017–partly because most of my collections are complete or very nearly so.
I added a few new areas of collection during 2016 and added new covers in these in 2017. I managed to find several new covers featuring Kate Moss and some Banksy covers. It was the 50th Anniversary of many important albums. I have already written about "The Velvet Underground & Nico" reissues. 2017 was also the 50th anniversary of "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" and there was a magnificent box set released to mark the occasion. I also found an interesting pastiche of the Blake / Haworth cover art by Jun Fukamachi. And, while on the subject of pastiches I collected several "Velvet Undergound & Nico" pastiches, too.
So, here's a list of covers by other artists that came into my collection in 2017:
BANKSY:
Capoeira Twins – Four (4 x 3) / Truth Will Out" – Promotional 12″ single with hand sprayed cover.
Boys in Blue – Funk Tha Police" – 12″ limited edition single.
Skitz – Badmeaningood, Vol 1 – Digipak CD.
Roots Manuva – Badmeaningood, Vol 2 – Digipak CD.
Peanut Butter Wolf – Badmeaningood, Vol 3 – Digipak CD.
Scratch Perverts – Badmeaningood, Vol 4 – Digipak CD.
Monk & Canatella – Do Community Service – CD.
The Beatles – Sgt.Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band – 50th anniversary box set.
The Beatles – Sgt.Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (outtakes) – Bootleg gatefold LP
The Beatles – Sgt.Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band – Japanese origami stage set.
Sgt.Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band – Pastiche
Jun Fukamachi – The Beatles – Sgt.Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band – 12″ LP.
Gilbert & George.
Gilbert & George – The Thoughts of Gilbert & George – Limited edition 12″ LP.
Karin "Mamma" Andersson:
Beck – I Won't Be Long – 12″ single.
Beck – Defriended – 12″ single.
Beck – Gimme" – Double 12″ single.
Kate Moss:
6majik9 – Kate Moss – Hand painted CD cover.
Babyshambles – Shotter's Nation – 2×12″ LP.
Bryan Ferry – Alphaville / Me Oh My – Limited edition 12″ single.
Bryan Ferry – You Can Dance – Limited edition 12″ single.
Bryan Ferry – Alphaville (Remixes) – Limited edition 12″ single.
Bryan Ferry – Olympia – Limited edition, autographed, 2 CD + DVD and book.
Bryan Ferry – Olympia Remixes – Digital file.
Bryan Ferry – Heartache by Numbers – Promotional CD single.
Primal Scream & Kate Moss – Some Velvet Morning – 12″ maxi single.
Primal Scream & Kate Moss – Some Velvet Morning (Luke Fair Remix) – 12″ single.
Vomit – Kate Moss – 7″ EP.
I had an almost complete collection of covers on both vinyl and CD with Banksy art and was just missing the elusive Capoeira Twins' "Four (4 x 3) / Truth Will Out" promotional single with the hand sprayed cover. None (apart from a couple sold by art galleries) seemed to have been sold for several years but suddenly there appeared a spate of them on Ebay in the latter half of 2017. I managed to get one of them, though unfortunately not the cheapest. And just as I was congratulating myself on completing my collection, a new Banksy cover appeared by a band I have never heard of called Boys in Blue. This was said to be a limited edition of 100 copies featuring Banksy's "Rude Copper" on the cover. I snapped up a couple of copies!
"Four (4 x 3)" by the Capoiera Twins (BLOWP008).
The cover of the Boys in Blue's 12″ single "Funk tha Police".
I also added some CDs–the four "Badmeaningood" series in Digipak covers and a second copy of Monk & Canatella's "Do Community Service" that came in a batch of 23 CDs that I bought for £3 plus £7 shipping!
PETER BLAKE:
2017 was not a good year for Peter Blake's record cover art as no new covers appeared. It was partially saved by the 50th anniversary of "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" and Apple released a generous 4CD box set with a hardcover book and posters to celebrate. The box had a lenticuar reproduction of the original Blake / Haworth cover art. Though initially I thought I didn't need this in my collection, I finally succumbed and bought a copy only to be pleased to find that each CD had a different version of the original cover art photo session.

The Japanese version of the 50th anniversary box set included an insert which the handier collectors could cut out and assemble into a montage of the Pepper band in a stage-like frame. I found one of these cut outs at a record fair and could buy it to add to my UK box set.
"Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" – Pastiche:
The Japanese composer Jun Fukamachi released an album called "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" in 1977. The cover was painted by Fumio Tamabuchi showed the Pepper scene with backs turned to the viewer.

Additions to my collection of covers featuring Kate Moss:
As I already had covers by Damien Hirst and Banksy that featured Kate Moss I thought it would be fun to collect all the covers I could find that she appeared on. I turned up ten more in 2017:
The most interesting were the limited edition 12″ Bryan Ferry singles released by The Vinyl Factory in 2010-2011 with tracks taken from Ferry's 2010 "Olympia" album. There were seven singles released from "Olympia" but only six made it onto Vinyl Factory 12″-ers. "Heartache By Numbers" was the exception and apparently only released as a promotional CD single in The Netherlands.
There was a hand painted CD entlitled "Kate Moss" by the band 6majik9 that was only made in an edition of 100 copies that I was luck to find on Discogs:
2007 6majik9 "Kate Moss" CD-r with handmade cover. Music Your Mind Will Love You.
And a 7″ EP by the American grunge/punk band Vomit also called "Kate Moss" that had a fold-out sleeve with about thirteen Kate Mosses all told.
The gatefold cover of Vomit's 7″ single Kate Moss with at least thirteen portraits of Kate.
Kate Moss was for a while involved with Babyshambles singer Pete Doherty and she appeared on a few of the band's tracks. Sje appears in person on the cover of the Band's "Shotter's Nation" album:
2007 Babyshambles "Shotter's Nation" Parlophone LP.
Kate was also in a duet with Primal Scream on the classic Lee Hazlewood song "Some Velvet Morning" and this was released as a 12″ single and a Luke Fair remix was also released in a black dye-cut sleeve. Some copies, however, had photos of Kate taken by Kate Garner in 1992.
2003 – Primal Scream & Kate Moss "Some Velvet Morning", Columbia 12″.
"Some Velvet Morning" remix 12″ with one of Jane Garner's 1992 portraits of Kate on front and rear covers.
So, quite a number of interesting additions thus far.
In Part Three, I'll list the remainder.

Damien Hirst's record cover art 1994 – 2013
April 7, 2014 rockdoc999	1 Comment
Damien Hirst in August 2008. Photo by David Bailey.
On October 25th 2013 Damien Hirst's 22nd record cover for Babyshambles' "Fall From Grace", the band's second single from their "Sequel to the Prequel" album was released on September 2nd 2013. The album cover as well as both singles had cover design by Hirst, who with this latest cover passed the number of covers designed by Sir Peter Blake. Depending a little on how one defines a Peter Blake cover, Blake has produced 21 covers in the 47 years since Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band was released in 1967. This cover was, of course, designed by Blake and his then wife Jann Haworth – and so should be regarded as a joint effort. The cover for Madness' limited edition CD version of "Oui, Oui, Si, Si, Ja, Ja, Da, Da" has him pictured on the cover, but the design is by Paul Agar with photography by Perou.
I do not suppose many would argue with me if I suggest that much of Damien Hirst's art is ugly. Dissected animals or fish in formalin tanks, skulls (even when encrusted with diamonds) do not appear beautiful to these eyes. And Damien Hirst's record covers fit the mould. His first record cover art was for Dave Stewart's "Greetings From the Gutter" released in 1994. Hirst's first covers are really unremarkable – the six variously coloured gas tubes with tubing attached on the Dave Stewart album and the dissection of an egg by two rubber-gloved hands on the "Heart of Stone" single from Stewart's album are hardly design masterpieces. These are followed by Hirst's ugliest covers; the CD for Fat Les' "Vindaloo" with foldout poster and "Yalla Yalla" the single from Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros' album "Rock Art & The X-ray Style" from 1999. For the album, Hirst drew a series of matchstick men reminiscent of stone-age cave paintings or aboriginal art and these figures appeared on the "Bankrobber 99" promotional single as well.
Joe Strummer & The Meascaleros' "Rock Art & the X-ray Style" LP cover.
In 2006, Hirst became manager for the band The Hours and designed the covers for their first album "Narcissus Road" and the singles taken from it; "Ali in the Jungle" and "Back When You Were Good". These were released on the A & M label.
Hirst made a limited edition of 210 spin-painted skulls as holders for the CD retailing at a cool £4,500 each!
Damien Hirst's spin-painted skull holder for The Hours' "Narcissus Road" CD.
Hirst then started his own record label "Is Good" and The Hours' second album "See the Light" was released on the label, again with cover art by him. The album was released on gatefold vinyl and a double 12″ single "See the Light" was also released. And, as had been for the singles from "Narcissus Road", each was decorated with more of Hirst's skull designs.
In February 2008 the cover of TAR Magazine used Damien Hirst's portrait of Kate Moss where the right side of her face was dissected down to the muscles. The following year, Hirst released a white vinyl, one-sided 12″ single with the same image on the cover. Hirst's given name was misspelt on the record label: "Damian". The single was released in a numbered edition of 666 copies and is currently very sought after.

Hirst's next cover "I'm With You" for The Red Hot Chili Peppers (2011) revisited two of his earlier subjects, drugs represented by a coloured capsule and decay, represented by a single fly on the capsule.
Red Hot Chili Peppers' album "I'm With You".
Hirst designed the cover for the band 30 Seconds to Mars' fourth album "Love Lust Faith & Dreams" in May 2013 and used his polka dot pattern. The album was released on CD and vinyl and in a limited edition boxed set with the LP, a double CD, a book and four prints.

Later the same year Hirst designed the covers for Babyshambles' "Sequel to the Prequel" album and the two singles released from it that autumn; "Nothing Comes From Nothing" and "Fall From Grace". According to Babyshambles' bassist Drew McConnell reported in NME: "It happened kind of naturally and in the spirit you'd hope for. We asked Damien to suggest someone to put something together, then to our amazement he offered to do it himself. The fact that he used a pic taken by Pennie Smith, who shot all those iconic photos of The Clash (Damien's old pal Joe Strummer's band), just makes it make even more sense."
So those are Damien Hirst's first 22 covers from his first twenty years of record cover design 1994 – 2013.
And, as is my wont, I'll list one cover ascribed to Damien Hirst that is not by him. According to Wikipedia Hirst did prepare a design for the cover for the Band Aid 20 single "Do They Know It'a Christmas?". His design showing the grim reaper and a starving child was considered too scary and was dropped. Mat Maitland at Big Active, a designer in his own right who has designed covers for Michael Jackson and others was commissioned to design the replacement. Rumour has it that Hirst released a limited edition print of his design for the cover. But I have, thus far, not been able to find one.

New covers and things by Klaus Voormann, Damien Hirst and Jeff Koons
March 30, 2014 rockdoc999	2 Comments
Most of my posts have been about record covers bearing Andy Warhol's art. But, just as a reminder, I also collect record cover art by four other artists. I have an almost complete collection of Damien Hirst's record covers, including the highly collectible "Use Money, Cheat Death" one-sided single released on his own label.
This image first appeared on the cover of the February 2008 number of TAR Magazine. The record was released on white vinyl in a numbered edition of 666 copies. Damien Hirst's most recent covers are for the British band Babyshambles' 2013 releases "Sequel to the Prequel" (LP) and (so far) the two vinyl singles from the album "Nothing Comes from Nothing" and "Fall From Grace":
These covers all show examples of Damien Hirst's spin paintings.
My friend Daniel Brant at the A and D Gallery in London, knows I collect Klaus Voormann's record cover art and he recently induced me to buy a poster by Klaus Voormann that I had never seen before. It is a print of a drawing of Paul McCartney and John Lennon in the canteen at Abbey Road during the recording of "Revolver":
While on the subject of Klaus Voormann – I have a 12″ single of George Harrison's single "When We Was Fab" from 1988. And just a few days ago I stumbled on the promotional issue of this release which comes in a limited edition box with a poster and a card, which I had not seen before, so I snapped it up! The illustration of the front of the box, and on the single itself, is another fine Voormann drawing – somewhat in the "Revolver" style.
Fellow Warhol Cover Collectors Club member Kevin Kinney suggested I get hold of Lady Gaga's 2013 album "ArtPop", whose cover was designed and photgraphed by Jeff Koons. Now I do not collect Koons' covers but – because of the ArtPop exhibition currently on show in Stockholm – I decided I would buy this album.

More Damien Hirst record covers
September 10, 2013 rockdoc999	Leave a comment
Damien Hirst has not yet designed many record covers. So far I have identified only twenty-three. I am primarily interested in those covers released on vinyl, but for completeness have also included CDs in my list on http://www.rateyourmusic.com (http://rateyourmusic.com/list/rockdoc/damien_hirsts_record_cover_art/). There are three quite rare vinyl issues: The most soughtafter is "Use Money, Cheat Death" by Damien (spellt on the record as Damian) Hirst that uses the Kate Moss portrait with half her face dissected away as the cover image. This picture was originally on the cover of the February 2006 issue of TAR magazine. The other two rarities are Dave Stewart's "Greetings From the Gutter" and the original release of Joe Strummer & The Mescalino's "Rock Art & the X-ray Style", which has since been re-issued on vinyl with the same cover.
Three new Damien Hirst covers have been released so far this year. In May the group 30 Seconds to Mars released their fourth album "Love Lust Faith – Dreams" with Damien Hirst artwork. Quite pretentiously, they have released the album in three formats – a standard CD, a Super Deluxe Pack (price $295, and includes double white viny LPs a 100-page photo book, lithographs and an autographed CD) and a Super Duper Deluxe pack (price $999, which includes all the stuff in the Super Deluxe pack plus a pair of drumsticks, plectrums, a t-shirt, triad USB and a personalised message from the band.)
British group Babyshambles released their fifth full length album on 2nd September 2013 with cover art by Damien Hirst who used a photo of the band taken by Pennie Smith (who, you will remember, took the photo of The Clash used on their "London Calling" album.) NME reports on how Hirst came to design the cover "bassist Drew McConnell said: "It happened kind of naturally and in the spirit you'd hope for. We asked Damien to suggest someone to put something together, then to our amazement he offered to do it himself. The fact that he used a pic taken by Pennie Smith, who shot all those iconic photos of The Clash (Damien's old pal Joe Strummer's band), just makes it make even more sense." "Nothing Comes to Nothing", the first single from the album also comes in a Damien Hirst designed cover.
