We already know from July that WhatsApp is preparing to include the identification of two steps in your messaging application. The function is in fact included in the latest beta of WhatsApp, Although it is hidden, but that does not prevent that its configuration screens have filtered.
While the identification of two steps generally implies that you enter the username and password to then verify that you are using your phone, WhatsApp implementation seems more or less in reverse: you're already using the phone and confirm your identity via email.
Screens has leaked them once more Alex193a, the Italian developer dedicated to discover all the secrets of WhatsApp until they come to light, and that us has brought a good percentage of the latest rumors of WhatsApp. Its modus operandi is based on hidden functions through your application WATweaks.
Since we hear first of two steps in WhatsApp ID we have been asking ourselves What could serve on WhatsApp. Finally and after, the account is always connected and only allows you to log on to a device. What could serve on WhatsApp? Is it possible that login on PC or the web is not based on the synchronization with the mobile?
We are still left with the question, further increased by the fact that any mention of the authorization of two steps in the translations of WhatsApp portal has been be deleted from our previous article on the subject. Now at least we know that this is based on the email, that you can associate with your account if desired.
It is possible that this security measure is designed for very specific cases in which for some reason you need to be very sure that nobody can login to your account, even Although they have access to your phone number (for example, if the number has expired and now belongs to someone else). As well as checking the code always during installation, by SMS or by voice call, WhatsApp would send you an additional code by email.
Taking into account that the controversy is still recent by request of sharing data with WhatsApp Facebook, you could say that it is bad time to also ask for the email address. In any case, it appears that this additional security measure will be absolutely optional.


A recent visit to the just opened addition to the Tate Modern Gallery in London by architects Herzog and de Meuron has provided the impetus to post an article that I wrote some months ago about the new Vancouver Art Gallery conceptual design. Switch House, as the Tate addition is named, is an inspired project by exceptional architects and serves to heighten the level of expectation for Vancouver.
The unveiling of architects Heurzog and de Meuron's new Vancouver Art Gallery (VAG) conceptual design by partner Christine Binswager and associate Simon Demeuse last fall raised eyebrows, elicited praise, ridicule and, significantly, stimulated lively and impassioned discussions about architecture in this city. Concentrated in a seemingly simple stack of wooden boxes is a dense world of ideas about urban design, public institutions, history, local and global architecture, politics and iconography. The design's ambition provides a welcome opportunity to both broaden and deepen the local architectural discourse.
At its most basic level, the architectural concept for the Art Gallery is of an elevated seven-storey "tower" arising from a central courtyard with the whole surrounded by a low perimeter block one storey in height – a square donut with the elevated stacked boxes hovering over the central void. The street-level perimeter block and floor below house public gallery spaces, a café, a store and educational facilities. The main gallery spaces, a 350-seat auditorium and administration spaces are in the suspended block that begins three storeys up supported on four large piers.
The building can be seen as an unusual hybrid of urban typologies combining the European perimeter block tradition with that of the North American tower in open plaza. Both typologies exist separately in Vancouver with the tower/plaza form particularly common along Georgia Street where the new Art Gallery will reside. A precedent for the short tower form that comes to mind is the seminal West Coast Transmission building also on Georgia. This building too has a small footprint with its main bulk cantilevered and, in this case, suspended from cables over a large plaza below. The European perimeter block type finds a relation at the new Athletes' Village in southeast False Creek. While the perimeter structures of the Art gallery are much lower, they similarly build up tight to the street edge and have outdoor space enclosed within a courtyard. Thankfully, the typology of tower sitting on low-rise podium, so beloved of Vancouver's city planners and residential developers, and currently ubiquitous, has been rejected in favour of something more interesting.
There is merit in the idea of creating the types of clearly defined and enclosed outdoor urban spaces that have been so successful in Europe and elsewhere but are relatively rare in Vancouver. While some European modernists see a tyranny in the relentless application of this typology in their cities, the public served by these popular urban spaces is kinder. The antithesis to the perimeter block type exists throughout Vancouver, including across Georgia from the gallery in what is one of the worst urban space in town, the Vancouver Public Library. There, the large, convex form of the "iconic" building leaves a bland, unwelcoming, and poorly defined public plaza of little interest or vitality. Similarly, the West Coast Transmission Building floats elegantly above a carefully designed but lifeless plaza. The VAG architects argue determinedly that this city does not need more ill defined public spaces.
Nevertheless, of particular interest in the Herzog and de Meuron proposal is the potential success or failure of a courtyard that has the underside of a tower looming over it. Large, covered, outdoor spaces, even those with coverings high above, are often themselves dull and lifeless. Recent proposals in pricey Vancouver re-imagine spaces below bridge on-ramps and try to make the best out of challenging circumstances. While the Art Gallery tower is no overpass, the covered outdoor space created below has some affinity. The architects have created a potential problem they now need to creatively turn to advantage. The beginnings of a strategy to infuse life into this important civic space are suggested by some of the early renderings showing a well-lit and warmly wooded court but the design of this space remains some distance from being convincing.
The courtyard in the middle of the project is also at the centre of an important discussion around the public nature of the VAG spaces and extends to how these might be influenced by programming and admission cost. Under its current leadership the Vancouver Art Gallery has had considerable success with its outreach into the local community and in engaging a diverse group of people. One might argue that the Art Gallery is more public than it has ever been. The Herzog and de Meuron proposal attempts to take the idea of public accessibility a step further by providing free and public gallery space at, and below, street level. With glazing to the street and a courtyard that doubles as installation space, the art here will be highly visible and easily accessible to all. That the gallery spaces at the base are separated by four storeys from those in the tower is given a rationale by differentiating those below as free to the public while those above are for paid admission. Should the VAG decide in the future to charge admission to the lower spaces, then the conceptual design, with its vertical organization and relatively distant separation of galleries, makes less sense.
The ground level perimeter spaces, though having openings into the courtyard on all four sides, are, in the current schematic design, obstructive to public access and effectively turn what should be a fully public space into one that is semi-public and potentially unwelcoming. The architects' desire to create defined space with a sense of enclosure is in tension with the similarly strong desire to have an open, inclusive and fully public institution vitally integrated with the city it serves. The design might be improved by opening up one entire side of the perimeter structure to the street. Given the importance of the Georgia Street address, which is also south facing, the architects might consider removing the grade level structures on this side to make the courtyard U-shaped and fully inviting on one side. In addition, shifting the tower northwards would bring more of the courtyard out from under the tower and into the full daylight so precious and appreciated in cloudy Vancouver.
While the street level relationships and urban design moves will be major factors determining the success of the new VAG, for most of the public, its striking appearance is what is most significant at this time. The architects, global superstars, have been at pains to obtain an understanding of the cultural history of the local site and the West Coast in general and to try and situate their project in its specific place and time. The image of the stacked wood boxes elevated above the site supported on large piers is highly evocative. The wide range of imagery conjured suggests the forms are sufficiently abstract to avoid the kitsch or pastiche of more overtly post-modern designs with their literal appropriations. Christine Binswager has cited a trip to Haida Gwaii as inspirational and praised the work of First Nations carvers there. For some, the Art gallery design suggests a series of indigenous carved cedar boxes stacked up or a totem pole. Others see what might be considered an unfortunate association with an inuksuk, a traditional Inuit stacked stone landmark used as the symbol for Vancouver's 2010 Winter Olympic Games and now a rather hackneyed cliché that tourists associate with the city. What one might visualize in the raised boxes is innumerable – a tree, a pile of books, a person, a Donald Judd minimalist sculpture.
The evocation of the traditional culture of local indigenous peoples, however subtle, is significant; major institutions like North American art galleries are mostly still evolving out of a highly Eurocentric and colonial history. The Swiss architects are channeling a zeitgeist that seeks to elevate and express solidarity with those who are still oppressed in our society and at the forefront of a relentless battle to protect the lands and waters on which we all depend. It would be interesting to see in the gallery design as it develops, a deeper reflection of what that First Nations' cultures represent with respect to the human relationship to nature – a nature being destroyed by overpopulation, industrial development and, the defining issue of our time – climate change.
In addition to the above-noted cultural references, the architecture also harks back to a west coast modernist tradition and works by Arthur Erickson. The elevated volumes, outward stepping soffits and long, linear forms bear echoes of Simon Fraser University and nearby Robson Square. The pervasive use of one material, in this case wood rather than concrete, creates a calm environment and calls attention to subtle shifts of light in a manner also favoured by the local master. With the virtues come the challenges of the predecessor's work like the large shadowed outdoor spaces and the semi-private public realms. Lacking in the new VAG design is the fluidity and dynamism of the best work of Erickson. The new design is rigidly symmetrical and static both at grade and in the tower above.
Even at this early level of conceptual design, the Heurzog and de Meuron proposal for the new Vancouver Art Gallery presents an intensely dense concentration of ideas about place, architecture and history. The scheme is bold, rigorous and original and provides a strong conceptual base for further development. Within a site context of wide roads and dissipated urban spaces, the architects are choosing to make a clearly defined public place, a courtyard contained at the edges and corners, and animated by public galleries, art, a café and educational facilities. Clearly understood is the desire to make the new art gallery more fully public and engaging. Clearly important also is the history and culture of the place where the project will be built. The connection to history, memory and place provides layers of meaning to a structure that is also highly abstract and experiential. As the design is only in the early stages, it clearly needs development. One would hope that improvements to come would take the design to a less rigid and static place, a place more fully public and inviting at street level and one responsive to solar orientation in this grey city. At this point though, Vancouver has a very thoughtful and strong base design from outstanding architects from whom expectations are high indeed.
The opening of the stunning Switch House addition to the Tate Modern in London provides an interesting counterpoint the Vancouver's gallery. Both projects benefit from the considered and thoughtful response to their respective contexts. Both have vertically organized gallery spaces. It will be interesting to compare and contrast the projects when the Vancouver Art Gallery design is more developed.

Doyle's Day
We must fight proposals – Hanley January 1, 2010
Newly built dormer bungalow near Ballinlough January 1, 2010
All-Ireland SFC qualifier Kildare 2-13 Roscommon 1-13 The statistics will show that Roscommon's senior footballers are out of the All-Ireland SFC at the earliest stage possible for the third year in a row – but although the side was beaten twice this year the manner of those two defeats couldn't be more different as the Roscommon players battled for all they were worth in this very entertaining tie played at Hyde Park on Saturday evening. In the end they were unlucky not to have got something out of a game played in front of an attendance of about 5,000 people. With one or two exceptions, the Roscommon players redeemed themselves well after the disappointment against Sligo and they fought to the bitter end, which was great to see. However they came up against a Kildare side that had in their armoury one of the best footballers in the country in John Doyle, who was literally the difference between the teams on the day. Put simply, if Doyle was playing for Roscommon then John Maughan's men would have won easily, such was his brilliance on the day. Roscommon can also feel aggrieved at some of the decisions of referee John Bannon – one at the end of the game in particular which saw a Kildare defender pick the ball clean off the ground in the small square. The referee waved play on despite legitimate Roscommon claims for a penalty. However it must be said that Kildare were slightly the better team overall and with Doyle at his brilliant best they just about deserved to win this most entertaining game of championship football which was played on a beautiful evening. In the aftermatch of the game Roscommon team manager John Maughan did not appear to be in the mood for talking so his future plans with regard to the management situation remains uncertain. However he will be happier in the aftermath of this game in that many Roscommon players did well in their respective positions. Kildare broke quickly from the blocks and after nine minutes they led by 0-4 to 0-1 with Cathal Cregg the Roscommon scorer in the 7th minute. Padraig O'Neill and John Doyle (3 frees) saw the Lilywhites into a commanding position. However Roscommon got a grip at midfield from then onwards and we subsequently had a real contest on our hands. Derek Connellan kicked a great point on the run in the 14th minute and that score was followed by points from Ger Heneghan, Seamus O'Neill and Karol Mannion (a fisted effort) to leave the home side ahead after 20 minutes. Points from Doyle and O'Neill and one from Roscommon's Gary Cox (free) left it 6 points each after 28 minutes. Doyle and full-forward Jason Phillips with Kildare points saw the visitors lead by two after 31 minutes but a Heneghan free a minute later kept the Rossies in touch. Then came a vital goal for Kildare two minutes before the break. Centre half-back Mark Hogarty fielded on his own 45 metre line. He soloed unchallenged for over 75 metres before drawing the Roscommon cover and slipping the ball to John Doyle whereupon the Allenwood man crashed it past Geoffrey Claffey for an excellent Kildare three-pointer. Derek Connellan kicked a Roscommon point in the 38th minute to leave a scoreline of Kildare 1-8 Roscommon 0-8 at half-time. The second half was very well contested with the outcome in doubt right up to the final whistle. Roscommon began that period well and points from Gary Cox and John Tiernan reduced the margin to the bare minimum. Then in the 13th minute came the score that Roscommon had been threatening. Gary Cox made excellent headway down the new stand side of Hyde Park before his pass found sub David Keenan. The young St. Barrys star found Karol Mannion with a brilliant ball and the team captain finished with aplomb after a neat sidestep. Keenan was having a brilliant game and his introduction coincided with Roscommon's best period. Seanie McDermott was having his usual stormer in the corner and with Anthony McDermott, Stuart Daly, Gary Cox and Seamus O'Neill revitalised Roscommon were now on a roll. It was just a pity that Cathal Cregg had to retire injured at half-time but his deputy Enda Kenny also did well. However Kildare and Doyle just would not capitulate. Doyle kicked a magnificent point on the run in the 16th minute. Gary Cox restored Roscommon's two-point lead in the 20th minute after a great run from Stuart Daly. There were ten minutes left now and Roscommon led by 1-11 to 1-9. Kildare kept running hard though and wing half-back Emmet Bolton scored a vital long-range point in the 25th minute before Doyle levelled the scores in the 27th minute with another excellent point. Gary Cox edged Roscommon ahead with a free in the 28th minute but with six minutes to go Kildare got the goal that decided the outcome. Doyle won possession in the middle of the field and his high delivery was knocked down by Padraig O'Neill who promptly gathered the ball himself and drove it low past Geoffrey Claffey for a vital score. Kildare were coasting now but Roscommon were given a lift when it was announced that there would be eight minutes of injury-time. However it was Kildare who got the next score, a point from Ken Donnelly, after 38 minutes and when Ger Heneghan's close-in free reduced the margin to two in the 49th minute Roscommon had renewed hope. However Doyle pointed a free for Kildare in the 7th minute of injury-time. Roscommon laid siege to the Kildare goal and might have been awarded a penalty when a Kildare defender appeared to pick the ball off the ground in the small square. However it was not to be for Roscommon and it was significant that the player to emerge from that ruck of players in the Kildare square in those dying minutes was the game's best player, John Doyle, who was back helping his defence! Ultimately it was defeat for Roscommon – and for the third year in a row at this stage of the championship – but this was a much better showing from the Roscommon players. Geoffrey Claffey had a great game in goals. He was tested several times with high balls -and passed with flying colours. His kick-outs were also excellent. Seanie McDermott was again Roscommon's best player. He has been our most consistent performer over recent years and he was brilliant again on Saturday last. Anthony McDermott also did very well and he has performed well in the problem position of full-back in recent games. Stuart Daly was also excellent in the Roscommon defence but the half-back line struggled to keep tabs on the brilliant Doyle throughout. At midfield Seamus O'Neill and Michael Finneran did very well until they faded slightly towards the end. Up front Gary Cox led the line well and Cathal Cregg was also doing well until he had to go off. Derek Connellan was much improved on the Sligo game too. However two Roscommon substitutes made a big impact on the game. David Keenan was marvellous when he came in for Richard Dooner. He was involved in almost every significant Roscommon move and his appetite for hard work was awesome. Definitely a star of the future. Enda Kenny also looked the part when he came on. Even though he has done little training because of injury in recent weeks he looked assured in his role in the full-forward line. Ultimately, as previously stated, the difference between the teams was the brilliant Kildare centre half-forward John Doyle. He scored a total of 1-8 and oozed class in everything he did. Others to do well for Kildare were Emmet Bolton, the experienced Anthony Rainbow, Kevin O'Neill, Ronan Sweeney, Ken Donnelly and Padraig O'Neill. So it's another case of 'what might have been' for Roscommon footballers as they exit the championship for another year. What the future has in store is anyone's guess. Will John Maughan remain in the job as manager? Will all the players who were there this season remain on for another year under the present management or under a new management regime? Questions to be answered on another day but despite the loss it was a day when Roscommon went down – but went down fighting at least. Kildare: Enda Murphy; Eamonn Callaghan, Kevin O'Neill, Andrew McLoughlin; Anthony Rainbow, Mark Hogarty, Emmet Bolton (0-1); Ronan Sweeney, David Lyons; James Kavanagh, John Doyle (1-8, 5 frees), Ken Donnelly (0-1); Michael Conway, Jason Phillips (0-1), Padraig O'Neill (1-2). Subs: Terry Rossiter for Kavanagh, Mick Foley for Lyons, Tommy Archibald for Rossiter. Roscommon: Geoffrey Claffey; Seanie McDermott, Anthony McDermott, Paddy O'Connor; Stuart Daly, John Nolan, Richard Dooner; Seamus O'Neill (0-1), Michael Finneran; John Tiernan (0-1), Gary Cox (0-4, 2 frees), Cathal Cregg (0-1); Derek Connellan (0-2), Karol Mannion (1-1), Ger Heneghan (0-2, 1 free). Subs: Sean Purcell for O'Connor (9 mins., injured), David Keenan for Dooner (27 mins.), Enda Kenny for Cregg (half-time, injured), David Hoey for Tiernan (68 mins.). Referee: John Bannon (Longford). Man of the Match: Sean McDermott and sub David Keenan were Roscommon heroes on a day of good performances on both sides. But there could only be one winner of this accolade. John Doyle has been the Kildare talisman for many years past and he did the business for his county again last Saturday. His total of 1-8 (1-3 from play) and his general display says it all about this class player. Weather: It was a perfect evening for football – a warm, dry evening after all the bad weather we have had in recent weeks. A treat to be out on such a nice day. There was a gentle breeze helping Roscommon in the first half. Crowd: In the region of 5000 people. A disappointing turnout from Roscommon supporters because Kildare outnumbered the home crowd on the day. Good atmosphere though during an exciting second half. Entertainment value: Although it was a disapointing day for Roscommon this was an excellent game

The Revitalized "Harry Hood"
6.16.09 (B.Kisida)
One of Phish's most revered songs, "Harry Hood's" emotional quality and ethereal improvisation taps into the very ethos of the band and their grand musical experiment. A tightly-woven path of exaltation, "Hood" jams, when played with intent, are like none other. Peaking with a mind-boggling, yet blissful intensity, I consider "Hoods" to be musical metaphors for life itself. One of the band's most magical pieces, "Harry Hood" is pure Phish.
But there came a time, around '98 through '00, where the band continued playing the song, but with much less passion. Often noodling their way to generic peaks, the start of "Harry Hood," instead of giving me instant goosebumps, was almost a letdown, because I knew how great it could be. Then came post-hiatus. With more energy and an exploratory spirit, Phish began taking "Hoods" where they'd never gone before- crafting two for the record books in Charlotte and Camden in the Summer of '03. But just as the band was getting into things, it was over.
Fast Forward to this summer. Beginning with Jones Beach's other-worldly experimentation, "Hood" announced itself on the summer scene with a deeply-psychedelic excursion, leaving the entire crowd buzzing long after the show. Bringing the jam to a new realm of ambient space, Phish made a statement with "Harry Hood," reawakening its hibernating spirit from the corner of the universe, and back into our lives.
When Phish dropped the next "Hood" at Great Woods, those goosebumps were back. Combining musical urgency and a delicate patience- seemingly a paradox- Phish played perhaps the tightest and most triumphant version of the summer. Extending the jam with mini musical tangents, this was the type of "Hood," that when it finally arrives at its peak, finds the entire crowd involuntarily blissed out. All four members carried on a vibrant musical conversation, each offering creative musical phrases; none dominating at all. If Jones Beach represented a dark spiritual awakening, this climactic version was a soulful sprint through an open meadow with deepest blue sky and long green grass swirling around you. "Hood" was officially back- and it had never felt better.
As Phish continued to drop frequent "Hoods" throughout June, each and every one was welcomed with rife anticipation of where the ride might take us. Remaining anchored in the jam's structure, each brought a brilliant improvisational path, as the band and audience rejoiced in one of their most hallowed pieces. Knoxville and Bonnaroo's versions each crafted a gentle journey that was a highlight of their respective sets. June's final version came at Star Lake, a soaring and emotive rendition led by Trey's dynamic playing- again, one of the jams of the night.
"Harry Hood" fell right in line with the band's June trend of tight, purposeful improvisation that remained, largely, inside the box. But being a song that never strayed far from its path (other than in '03) this suited "Harry" just right. With a renewed intent, Phish crafted spiritual excursions out of "Hood" all tour long, reconnecting with their own souls as well as ours.

The first of June's final four nights, Phish improvised coherently throughout the second set. Warming them up for Deer Creek and Alpine, this show became far more interesting after setbreak. The "Disease > Free," "Piper," and "Hood" are all highlight explorations, while the "YEM" was, in my opinion, the best of tour.

Mr. Miner, I thouroughly enjoy reading what you have to say, but I disagree with your statement that during the years of '98 to '00, Phish played Hood with less passion. I remind you of probably my favorite version, 9-28-99. It may have been because I was at the show, but even now with 60+ recordings of Hood in my iTunes library, that Hood at Oak Mountain still gives me goose bumps every time I hear it. I know these topics can be discussed infinitum so I think I'll just listen to Hood now…Rock on!!!! :>

I love this damn site, makes the work day breeze. I feel like a high school kid looking at porn when my boss walks by. It's like "minimize that shit asap and pull up my email!" "Its not what it looks like mom, I was cleaning it and it went off"
sumodie Says:
"Wax, you're not wrong, you're just way off base for the site and your audience."
I disagree with this statement. For example, I don't follow a lot of people's posts when they're dissecting the elements of a phish song, but I wouldn't want then to dumb down their writing. In fact, I find it easier to understand Wax's posts today than much of the song dissection that goes on.
No matter….another day of interesting discussion.
BTW, someone on PT claimed to have insider info that the Indio deal fell through a few days ago. Of course there's NO reason to believe him -just wondering if anyone else heard something similar. And the rumor mill churns on……also no phish.com update…
Mr.Miner Says:
^ sure, but when there is a discussion going, and someone starts a post "This is a bit off topic, but…" and then launches into a personal dissertation about something else time and time again, it can get tiresome, regardless of content…

Some White House staffers were initially caught off guard by the General Services Administration's letter, learning about it first from CNN, a senior White House official said.
But the official said staffers will begin to cooperate with Joe Biden's transition team.
The official added they were seeking more information on next steps.
General Services Administration tells Biden that transition can formally begin

The General Services Administration has informed President-elect Joe Biden that the Trump administration is ready to begin the formal transition process, according to a letter from administrator Emily Murphy sent Monday afternoon and obtained by CNN.
The letter is the first step the administration has taken to acknowledge President Donald Trump's defeat, more than two weeks after Biden was declared the winner in the election.
The letter signals that Murphy will formally sign off on Biden's victory, a normally perfunctory process known as ascertainment. The move will allow the transition to officially begin, permitting current administration agency officials to coordinate with the incoming Biden team, and providing millions in government funding for the transition.
President Trump later tweeted that while the legal case "STRONGLY continues," he told Murphy to "do what needs to be done with regard to initial protocols."

Georgia recount will begin Tuesday morning

All of Georgia's 159 counties must begin their recount efforts at 9 a.m. Tuesday, said Gabriel Sterling, voter implementation manager with the Secretary of State's office.
Counties must wrap up their recount by midnight on Wednesday, Dec. 2.
"They have to begin tomorrow morning by 9 a.m.," Sterling said during a new conference. "But beginning could also be if they are organizing and getting the people lined up because we want to make sure we have a lot of notice go out so we can have the monitors be there and adjudication teams, especially for the absentee votes first because those are the ones that are most likely to be needing adjudication."
Ballots cannot be contested by party monitors on site during this process. There will be a minimum of two monitors per party at each location where the recount is occurring, according to Sterling. Larger counties that have more than two scanners will have an additional monitor for each party per each additional scanner.
Sterling said that this count, under the code of Georgia, will be the final certified version of the election results.
The Trump campaign requested the recount on Saturday, which is their right by Georgia law because the margin of Joe Biden's victory is less than 0.5%. The recount will be taxpayer-funded, and will be conducted in each county statewide using high speed ballot scanners.
President-elect Biden, who was declared the winner last Friday when the state certified the results, has a 12,670 vote or .2% lead over President Trump in Georgia.

The next step is the Secretary of State sends the board's certification to the governor for her signature.
"We appreciate the state board's recognition of the plain facts: President-elect Joe Biden resoundingly won the state of Michigan by more than 150,000 votes — 14 times the margin of Donald Trump in 2016," a Biden spokesperson said.
"We thank the state of Michigan for its support, and look forward to receiving its 16 electoral votes," said Michigan communications director Ben Halle.
Biden to pick former Fed Chair Janet Yellen as Treasury secretary

President-elect Joe Biden will choose Janet Yellen, former chair of the federal reserve, as his Secretary of the Treasury, according to a source with knowledge of the pick.
Responding to CNN's reporting about Biden's pick for the role, Jen Psaki, a senior adviser for the transition team, said Biden looks "forward to announcing some members of his economic team early next week who will work with him to build the economy back better."
Yellen, who will be the first woman to hold the job should she be confirmed by the Senate, will be tasked to lead Biden's economic response to the coronavirus pandemic, which has wreaked havoc on the economy and led millions of Americans to lose their jobs.
She will also be asked to make good on the former vice president's campaign promise to narrow the economic divide between rich and poor in the United States.
Yellen, after a long career in academia and different federal reserve roles, was nominated by President Barack Obama to become chair of the Federal Reserve — the first woman to hold the position — in a role she filled from 2014 to 2018.
President Trump opted not to renominate Yellen during his first year in office, instead nominating Jerome Powell to take the top job.
Biden had said that his pick to be Treasury secretary would attract broad support from different corners of the Democratic Party.

Jordan's King Abdullah spoke with President-elect Joe Biden on Monday to discuss bilateral relations and regional security, according to a readout of the conversation released by Jordan's Royal Court.
This marks the first call between an Arab leader and the President-elect.
"In the phone call, King Abdullah said he looks forward to working with President-elect Biden on advancing the strategic partnership between Jordan and the United States, and expanding cooperation across various sectors, in service of mutual interests, and regional security and stability," the Royal Hashemite Court said.
"His Majesty reaffirmed the importance of continued coordination to counter joint challenges, including the ramifications of the COVID-19 pandemic," the readout continued.
"The King expressed his best wishes to President-elect Biden, wishing the American people continued progress and prosperity," the readout concluded.
Here's a look at the other world leaders that have congratulated Biden.
Pennsylvania Supreme Court rejects Trump campaign effort to block counting certain absentee ballots
From CNN's Kara Scannell
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has rejected the Trump campaign's effort to block the counting of certain absentee ballots clearing the way for those ballots to be counted in multiple counties, including Philadelphia.
"Here we conclude that while failures to include a handwritten name, address or date in the voter declaration on the back of the outer envelope, while constituting technical violations of the Election Code, do not warrant the wholesale disenfranchisement of thousands of Pennsylvanian voters," wrote Justice Christine Donohue, who was joined in the opinion by two others in an ordered that was issued Monday afternoon.
Two judges filed concurring and dissenting opinions, in which two other judges signed onto one of them.
Biden speaks to bipartisan group of mayors about working together to combat Covid-19

President-elect Joe Biden and Vice president-elect Kamala Harris on Monday spoke to a group of Democratic and Republican mayors about working together across all levels of government to deliver economic relief to communities and combat the coronavirus pandemic as cases surge in the country.
"All of you have been on the front lines from the very beginning, and as we head into this Thanksgiving in a very dark winter with cases and hospitalizations and deaths spiking, I want you to know that we���re here for you and we're going to listen to you and work with you," Biden said, speaking virtually to the United States Conference of Mayors in Wilmington, Delaware.
"It's the first priority we're going to have once sworn in," Biden said.
The President-elect stressed the importance of working with Democrats and Republicans alike to deliver for the American people in a time of crisis. His message echoed the one he had delivered to a group of Republican and Democratic governors last week.
"No matter which party … whether you're a Democrat or Republican, there's a strong sense of common purpose, a real desire for a real partnership between the states, cities and the federal government," Biden said. "And there's a strong consensus that we have to move forward in a coordinated way among the government on delivering the economic relief to cities, states and tribal communities sooner rather than later."
Biden spoke to the mayors about the distribution of a coronavirus vaccine, universal masking, expanding testing and delivering economic relief to cities and states.
"I know there are so many other issues that your cities are on the front lines of — racial justice, climate change, paid family leave, minimum wage, closing broadband gaps, ending homelessness," Biden said.
But, Biden said, "the only way to beat these challenges, I believe, and so does Kamala, that we have to come together as a nation. You mayors get it."
Biden's comments come as President Trump continues to refuse to accept he lost the election and the current General Services Administration administrator, Emily Murphy, has yet to sign a letter to release funds to the Biden transition team through a process called ascertainment.
Without the GSA's signoff, Biden and his team are stuck in limbo, barred from access to federal agencies during the Covid-19 pandemic and classified intelligence briefings.
House Democrats demand immediate briefing from federal agency tasked with triggering formal transition
From CNN's Kristen Holmes, Lauren Fox and Jeremy Herb
The Democratic chairs of key House committees sent a letter to the administrator of the General Services Administration – the government agency tasked with declaring there is a president-elect and triggering the transition process – insisting they cannot wait another week for a briefing on the transition.
The committees have been requesting a briefing because the agency's administrator, Emily Murphy, has yet to acknowledge Biden's victory and sign a letter to release funds to the Biden transition team through a process called ascertainment.
"We cannot wait yet another week to obtain basic information about your refusal to make the ascertainment determination," the Chairs wrote.
"Every additional day that is wasted is a day that the safety, health, and well-being of the American people is imperiled as the incoming Biden-Harris Administration is blocked from fully preparing for the coronavirus pandemic, our nation's dire economic crisis, and our national security," they added.
The letter is a response to an earlier GSA offer of a 30-minute briefing with their Deputy Administrator, Allison Brigati, on Monday Nov. 30.
The Democratic chairs made it clear they were not willing to wait any longer, having made their initial request for a GSA briefing last week.
Their letter asks for a briefing tomorrow, offering multiple methods including Webex or a phone conference.

Rose's Caddie Returns To Masters After Heart Surgery
Justin Rose has had a storied albeit heartbreaking history at the Masters over the course of his career.
Notching five top-10 finishes, including a pair of runners-up in the last four years, Rose will enter this week's Masters Tournament with a familiar face alongside as longtime caddie Mark "Fooch" Fulcher returns to the bag after being sidelined following heart surgery in January of this year.
"I know time has been going very slowly for him and he's been chomping at the bit to get back, but he's stayed very much integrated and engaged in my game," Rose said on Monday during his pre-tournament press conference. "One of his best mates out here on Tour is Gareth Lord (who has been filling in for Fulcher) and they have been communicating a lot with what has been going on. Fooch has come down to see me on my weeks off on a couple of occasions."
Welcome back @Fooch1993 #Team🌹 pic.twitter.com/sRuLd8VAfy
— Justin ROSE (@JustinRose99) April 8, 2019
Regarded by many caddies as the hardest loop on Tour, Augusta National will be no easy re-indoctrination for Fulcher, but he got many of the back slaps and "welcome backs" out of the way a few weeks back at the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play where he followed Rose outside the ropes at Austin Country Club.
Rose reassumed the top ranking in the world this week, the goal Fulcher set for his buddy Lord and his boss.
"Foochy said I have to give him back at world No. 1," Lord told ESPN's Michael Collins in January. "I said I'd do my best."
Now, with his man back on the bag and the major championship that he's come closer to winning without raising the trophy than any other will have another chapter in a storybook ending should Rose slip into the green jacket on Sunday evening.
Rose enters the week as a 12/1 bet to win. He has five top-10 finishes in seven starts during the 2018-19 season, including a victory at the Farmers Insurance Open.

This lesson introduces students to the third and final step of The Golden Circle; the "What".
Students are encouraged to think about what they would like to do for a career if money was no object. They are encouraged to consider potential career options that they feel would be compatible with their previously established "why" and "how". Students are then encouraged to further explore the array of career options available to them by researching, trying and talk to others about career areas of interest.
Finally, the class will work together to compile a list of all the resources that they have available to them to help them further with their career questions, decision and planning.


We always said: "There's no cheating in our show!" We use real axes and saws. And they're sharp." We spent three months putting together our first show, Timber, in the family barn that we turned into our rehearsal space. The show helped us make a name for ourselves in Québec and we toured internationally with it for five years. It was the beginning of Cirque Alfonse's "professional" trajectory. "Performance, music and dance were always part of our upbringing and family history." And when I say "professional," this is because Timber wasn't our first show or family project. Cirque Alfonse was a natural extension of our family's history in the performing arts.
Even though our style is unique, it's important for us to keep innovating. When it came time to put together our last show, we had already explored all the disciplines we were comfortable with in our previous shows. We needed a new approach and new acts. We get a lot of inspiration from travelling, and the other shows that we see. For example, we saw a show in Australia where acrobats held a pole on their shoulders and other acrobats balanced on it. We thought it was cool, so when we put together our new show, we tried it out..
We're a tight-knit troupe made up of friends, parents and children. Two weeks before the premiere, we still hadn't mastered the act. But with so little time left, our only choice was to make it work. We took off our security harnesses and gave it our best. After two months of hard work, we finally nailed it, and just in time. Now we do it at every show. We always have to keep pushing our limits and taking risks. Without risks, there would be no circus.

As old Western powers cozy up, China goes on trade offensive
Experts suspect that a $44B Qualcomm deal has fallen victim to Trump's tariff war.
By	Hans von der Burchard and Maxime Schlee
Updated 7/28/18, 6:11 AM CET
China is baring its fangs as U.S. President Donald Trump turns up the tariff pressure on Beijing.
At the very moment that Trump and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker were cozying up for a truce in Washington, Beijing showed it is willing to ramp up the trade war with America on the eastern front.
The bombshell dropped on Wednesday when U.S. chip giant Qualcomm had to call off a planned $44-billion merger with its Dutch competitor NXP, all because China's competition regulator failed to issue a green light. Antitrust authorities in eight other jurisdictions had already approved the deal, but Qualcomm and NXP also needed Beijing's blessing because of substantial activities in China.
A day after Qualcomm's deal unravelled, the New York Times reported that China had also reversed a decision to allow Facebook to set up an office in the eastern province of Zhejiang.
While China is making no link between its trade grievances and the U.S. tech companies, trade experts say that Beijing is a master of asymmetric warfare, and counterattacking against its opponent's weak spots. Beijing emerged victorious in a trade war with Europe in 2013 when it retaliated in a spat over solar panels by threatening EU wine exports.
Beijing can pull other levers in areas such as merger control and investment.
Chinese commerce ministry spokesperson Gao Feng argued Thursday that Qualcomm's problems have "nothing to do with Sino-U.S. trade frictions" and said that the case is purely related to "anti-monopoly law enforcement."
But experts on Chinese politics and trade law disagree.

"We have now reached a level of escalation that wasn't foreseeable two months ago," said Mikko Huotari, deputy director of the Mercator Institute for China Studies (MERICS) in Berlin. He said that China decided to resort to "extremely painful" measures "because the pressure increased and it isn't easy on a tariff level to establish a balance of terror."
Trump has imposed 25 percent duties on $34 billion worth of Chinese goods and is currently preparing to impose 25 percent tariffs on another $16 billion. Trump is also threatening a 10 percent duty on an additional $200 billion of Chinese exports.
Trump argues that he will win a classic trade war | Justin Sullivan/Getty Images
Isabelle Van Damme, a trade lawyer with Van Bael and Bellis in Brussels, agreed that tensions have moved beyond classic trade barriers.
"There's a lot of talk about tariffs and retaliatory measures, but in fact the reality and the development of responses that countries are taking is becoming more complex," she said. Some of these new responses in the trade conflict "involve the use of non-tariff barriers and actions outside the context of trade, such as competition policy," she said.
Trump argues that he will win a classic trade war because the U.S. has such a big deficit with China. While this means China cannot respond in kind against an all-out tariff offensive, Beijing can pull other levers in areas such as merger control and investment.
Huotari said the timing in relation to Qualcomm is "clever" because China's smothering of the merger has an inherent logic.
"There's an economic side to this block," he said, adding that China wants to ensure its competitiveness in the chip industry.
In a sign that the dangers from China are sinking in, Republicans on the House ways and means committee on Thursday called on Trump to schedule a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping to resolve a trade dispute that threatens to damage both economies.

No.

Description

      Joue un preset d'échantillons SoundFont2 (SF2), générant un son mono avec
      interpolation cubique. Ces opcodes permettent la gestion de la structure
      d'échantillon des fichiers SF2. Afin de comprendre l'utilisation de ces opcodes,
      il faut connaître le format SF2 dont on peut trouver une brève description
      dans l'annexe
      Format de Fichier SoundFont2.

Syntaxe

ares sfplay3m ivel, inotenum, xamp, xfreq, ipreindex [, iflag] [, ioffset] [, ienv]

Initialisation

      ivel -- vélocité.

      inotenum -- numéro de note MIDI.

      ipreindex -- indice du preset.

      iflag (optional) -- (facultatif) -- drapeau concernant le comportement
      de xfreq et de inotenum.

      ioffset (facultatif) -- endroit où commence la lecture, en
      échantillons.

      ienv (facultatif) -- active et détermine l'enveloppe d'amplitude.
      0 = pas d'enveloppe, 1 = attaque et chute linéaires, 2 = attaque linéaire, chute
      exponentielle (voir ci-dessous). La valeur par défaut est 0.

Exécution

      xamp -- facteur de correction de l'amplitude.

      xfreq -- valeur de fréquence ou multiplicateur de
      fréquence, selon la valeur de iflag. Quand
      iflag = 0, xfreq est un multiplicateur
      de la fréquence par défaut, fixée par le preset SF2 à la valeur
      inotenum. Quand iflag = 1,
      xfreq est la fréquence absolue du son produit, en Hz. La
      valeur par défaut est 0.

      Lorsque iflag = 0, inotenum fixe la
      fréquence de la sortie en fonction du numéro de note MIDI utilisé, et
      xfreq est utilisé comme un multiplicateur. Lorsque
      iflag = 1, la fréquence de la sortie est fixée directement
      par xfreq. Cela permet l'utilisation de n'importe quelle
      échelle micro-tonale. Cependant, cette méthode n'est conçue pour travailler
      correctement qu'avec des presets accordés selon le classique tempérament égal.
      L'utilisation de cette méthode avec un preset ayant déjà un accordage non
      standard ou bien avec des presets de drum-kit donnera des résultats
      imprévisibles.

      L'amplitude peut être ajustée en variant l'argument xamp
      qui agit comme un multiplicateur.

      Noter que xamp et xfreq peuvent opérer
      aussi bien au taux-k qu'au taux-a. Les deux arguments doivent utiliser des
      variables de même taux, sinon sfplay3m ne fonctionnera pas
      correctement. ipreindex doit contenir un numéro associé
      préalablement à un preset, ou Csound se plantera.

      Le paramètre ioffset permet de démarrer le son depuis un
      autre échantillon que le premier. Il faut s'assurer que sa valeur est inférieure
      à la longueur du son. Sinon, il y a un risque de plantage de Csound.

      Le paramètre ienv active et détermine l'enveloppe d'amplitude
      utilisée. Sa valeur par défaut est 0, soit pas d'enveloppe. Si ienv
      vaut 1, les portions de l'attaque et de la chute sont linéaires. S'il vaut 2,
      l'attaque est linéaire et la chute est exponentionnelle. La portion de relâchement
      de l'enveloppe n'a pas encore été implémentée.

      sfplay3m est une version mono de
      sfplay3. Il faut l'utiliser
      avec un preset mono, ou avec des presets stéréo dans lesquels la sortie stéréo
      n'est pas requise. Il est plus rapide que sfplay3.

      sfplay3m est aussi une version avec interpolation cubique de
      sfplaym. La différence de
      qualité sonore est notable, particulièrement avec les échantillons transposés dans
      le grave. Pour les échantillons transposés dans l'aigu, la différences est moins
      appréciable et je suggère d'utiliser les versions avec interpolation linéaire,
      car elles sont plus rapides.

      Ces opcodes ne supportent que la structure d'échantillon des fichiers SF2. La
      structure de modulateur du format SoundFormat2 n'est pas supportée dans Csound.
      Tout traitement ou modulation des données échantillonnées est à la charge de
      l'utilisateur de Csound, ce qui permet de s'affranchir de toutes les
      restrictions imposées par le standard SF2.

Exemples

      Voici un exemple de l'opcode sfplay3m. Il utilise le fichier
      sfplay3m.csd.

A first for Blue Pyrenees Estate, UBF is a skin contact white blend (or 'orange' wine) made from both the oldest & youngest vines in the Estate vineyard. Originally planted to produce brandy, the Ugni Blanc (or Trebbiano) fruit was blended with a small Fiano vineyard located just outside the cellar door. Unusually for a white wine, UBF spends nine months on skins with natural primary & secondary fermentation. This extended maceration & minimal input combined with zero filtration has produced an interesting, textural & full flavoured wine to try with a range of food styles. This natural style of wine is made to drink now.

Beam Remote Presence Robot Debuts, Putting Your Big Head on Wheels
remote controlled | robot | teleconference | telepresence | wireless | September 27, 2012
If you have $16,000 lying around and I hankering to virtually cruise the halls of some distant office, Suitable Technologies has something suitable that it has just debuted. The company has new telepresence robot called the Beam Remote Presence System or Beam RPS.
The robot requires three components, the robotic device itself, the client software, and the Beam Docking Station. The docking station is where the remote user parks the robot to recharge. The bot stands 62-inches tall and weighs 95 pounds. It has a 17-inch screen that shows the operator's life-sized face to be displayed – assuming your head will fit on a 17-inch screen.
The Beam's internal rechargeable battery is a good for up to eight hours of use and the robot can cruise around at 1.5 m/s. The robot has an integrated wireless radios for control and has a pair of HD cameras providing a 170° field of view vertically and horizontally. The robot also has a microphone array with six microphone beams to eliminate background noise and echo. It also has an integrated speaker system with LED lamps for lowlight operation.
With much cheaper options coming in a few months, and others coming soon, I'm not sure of the market for a $16,000 telepresence 'bot, but it's just more evidence that with time we're going to start seeing robots roaming the halls sooner rather than later.

Hand Held este un film documentar de 80 de minute, având ca producător pe Don Hahn și care prezintă situația copiilor din orfelinatele regimului Ceaușescu.
Premiera europeană a filmului a avut loc la 4 decembrie 2010.

Imaginile au fost realizate de fotojurnalistul Mike Carroll, care a fost printre primii fotografi care au vizitat România imediat după căderea regimului Ceaușescu.

Imaginile dezvăluie condițiile inimaginabile în care trăiau copiii instituționalizați, mulți dintre ei bolnavi de SIDA, copii a căror existență propaganda comunistă a ținut-o sub tăcere.

Filmul atrage atenția opiniei publice asupra situației critice în care se aflau acești copii, victime ale politicii demografice a acelui regim.
Ca o consecință, mai mulți voluntari s-au implicat în acțiuni umanitare pentru ajutorarea acestor copii, mulți dintre ei fiind adoptați sau preluați în plasament, în acest scop punându-se bazele organizației non-guvernamentale "Romanian Children's Relief".

Q: How to find the determinant of the matrix?
if $\det \begin{bmatrix}a&b&c\\d&e&f\\g&h&i\end{bmatrix} = 1$
then $\det \begin{bmatrix}a - 6g&7b - 42h&c - 6i\\d&7e&f\\g&7h&i\end{bmatrix} = ?$

Yeah, I have no idea how to solve this nor do I know what is going on in the first row??
Here is how the problem is presented to me, I tried my best to copy it.

A: $\det \begin{bmatrix}a - 6g&7b - 42h&c - 6i\\d&7e&f\\g&7h&i\end{bmatrix}=\det \begin{bmatrix}a &7b&c\\d&7e&f\\g&7h&i\end{bmatrix}+\det \begin{bmatrix}- 6g& - 42h& - 6i\\d&7e&f\\g&7h&i\end{bmatrix}$
by the multilinear property, now the second determinate is $0$ because the first and the third row are linearity dependent; so
$\det \begin{bmatrix}a &7b &c \\d&7e&f\\g&7h&i\end{bmatrix}=7 \det \begin{bmatrix}a &b&c\\d&e&f\\g&h&i\end{bmatrix}=7$

A: I think they mean $\begin{pmatrix}a-6g & 7b -42h & c-6i\end{pmatrix}$ for the first row.
Hint: The determinant is a multilinear function of its columns.
For instance: $$\begin{align} \det\begin{pmatrix}a-6g&7b-42h&c-6i\\
d&7e&f\\
g&7h&i
\end{pmatrix} &= 7\det\begin{pmatrix}a-6g&b-6h&c-6i\\
d&e&f\\
g&h&i
\end{pmatrix} \\ &=
7\left(\det\begin{pmatrix}a&b-6h&c-6i\\
d&e&f\\
g&h&i
\end{pmatrix}
+
\det\begin{pmatrix}-6g&b-6h&c-6i\\
0&e&f\\
0&h&i
\end{pmatrix}
\right)\\ &= \cdots
\end{align} $$
Edit: It's actually smarter to use a row operation! See Gianluca's answer.

A: The matrix is supposed to be
$$\begin{pmatrix}a-6g&7b-42h&c-6i\\
d&7e&f\\
g&7h&i
\end{pmatrix}$$
Hint: This matrix can be written in terms of the original matrix by manipulating the rows and columns.

12 Month/Unlimited Mile Limited Warranty*: ACDelco offers a 12 month/Unlimited mile limited warranty on Advantage Tie Rod Ends. Effective on parts purchased April 1, 2018 and later to the original retail purchaser. Contact seller for limited warranty part details, qualifications,and possible labor coverage.
Should I perform a vehicle alignment after installing new tie rod ends or tie rod end adjusting sleeves?
Yes. Installing new tie rod ends or tie rod end adjusting sleeves can interfere with the alignment of your vehicle, so a full four-wheel vehicle alignment is recommended following any tie rod and tie rod component replacement.
• Inspect or have your tie rod end components inspected for signs of wear. Potholes, bumpy road conditions, and minor accidents can all result in tie rod wear, and, in extreme instances, bending or breakage. Inspect your tie rod components regularly, following exposure to events that may harm them, or when you experience signs of tie rod component wear.
• Keep your tie rod ends lubricated. Road hazards like rough terrain or hitting curbs can damage tie rods and cause lubrication to leak out. Once lubrication is lost, the tie rod may loosen and bind up, preventing proper function. Check or have your tie rod ends checked, and lubricate them if necessary.
• Use a sleeve rotating tool to rotate your tie rod end adjusting sleeve, and apply penetrating oil to the clamps and sleeve before loosening it. Proper sleeve rotation is key to helping prevent damage and a loose fit between the sleeve and tie rod end.
• Installation of new tie rod components can interfere with the alignment of your vehicle. Perform a full four-wheel vehicle alignment after any tie rod replacement.

Recycled art show turns trash to treasures
By Katie Parsons
Discarded items become works of art at Nov. 22 event. Viera Voice Photo
Garbage can be beautiful. That's the message that Marcia Booth has been trying to convey since launching the nonprofit organization Recycle Brevard in 2011.
"Only 30 percent of people in Brevard recycle. I just knew there had to be a way to improve that," she said.
Since her own recycling awakening, Booth has been looking for creative ways to raise awareness about better management of trash in the county — and she's making an impact with kids.
The Waste Me Not Recycled Art Show hosted by Recycle Brevard will give kindergarten through 12th-grade students a chance to show off their creativity. It will be held from 2 to 5 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 22 at the Community Room located between LOFT and Francesca's at The Avenue Viera.
"The main goal is to make kids think about waste and how to avoid it. We don't see how what we throw away could be reused or could help other people," Booth said.
Students can enter by creating artwork from recycled materials or creating 8.5" X 11" posters featuring the theme. The contest entry form asks that students create pieces that "reflect the importance of practicing the 3Rs and avoiding waste through creative use of items that were going to be discarded."
Entries should also be able to easily sit on top of a counter or hang on a board.
Prizes will be awarded for first, second and third place in the following grade groups: K-3, 4-6, 7-8 and 9-12. There will also be an award for "Most Creative" and the "People's Choice."
In addition, Recycle Brevard will collect gently used household items to donate to House2Homes from the GAP Ministry. The items will be given to families who need them.
Art show entries are due by Nov. 15 and can be submitted to Kim Farson, who can be reached at 321-848-2387 or kimfarson@yahoo.com.
Students who submit an entry will receive a free ticket to the show and the first parent or guardian receives a ticket at 50 percent off. General admission tickets are $10.
Contest entrants must claim their free ticket and all others can buy them at WasteMeNot.eventbrite.com.

Yep, that's right, last month we released this tee and it sold out in a few minutes, one of the quickest selling tees we've done actually. And, due to demand, we've managed to get a restock in double quick time.
We've even got it on Navy now aswell as the Purple and White we did previously.
That's right the long running Northern Music Factory design f- a Connoisseur staple from day one, has had a new edition, this time on our rather remarkable heat reactive tees. Basically, if you missed our Osti and Pigeon tees previously - this means they change colour when reacted with heat, these look superb and as always, it's something a little bit different. We've got Green tees that go Yellow, Blue and Grey that go White and Purple that change to Pink. Technology hey?
We've always wanted to do a football shirt here at CCHQ, but in all honesty this one kind of happened by accident. We had them made for a tournament then found out it was sponsored and had their own kits, but the interest when previewed suggest it was worth getting a run done, so we did. Now you have a chance to get your own CC football top, pretend to be Pele or Maradona with your silky skills, or Kevin Francis down the local park scoring another pearler against Burnley.
A classic Adidas jersey made with ultra lightweightclimalite® fabric that wicks moisture and keeps the wearer sweat free. Three stripes on the sleeves, which of course are long, as they should be! CC branded logo embroidery And tiny 'connoisseur fc' detail on the hem.
Tomorrow see's a return of two tees, both with Manchester and Stockport connections to boot.
'Bummed' is a nod and inspired from that original album artwork and comes in glorious colours, yep we even got the woman in on there too! The album was recorded at Strawberry Studios in Stockport.
'Sound and Vision' has another obvious nod, though we can't really talk about that. It is however a play on the iconic image which was an original computer-generated illustration of eighty successive periods of pulses produced at the Arecibo Radio Observatory in Puerto Rico in the late 1960s after it was first discovered. One of the first visuals of sound. Later appearing in several scientific articles and encyclopedias where it gained more attention and became more famous, then used elsewhere too. This has been used and done many times is tee form with connections to another Manchester band - However our play on this was to get visual with the artwork and bring a raised 3D print on the Navy tee and a metallic silver ink on the black tee paying tribute to the original source.
VILLAIN - FOR COURT, FOR COURTING - HOPPY MONDAYS.
Tonight see's the release of our latest 'Villain' hat, the second of a variety incoming of some of the finest, premium head wear a man could don! These one's are made for us in a lighter-weight special linen, by the 'Masters of Linen', no less! It's navy in colour and inspired by everyone's favourite mob uncle, Corrado Soprano. Coming in three sizes and in rather limited numbers! A summery version of the soon to be arriving A/W tweedness.
Tomorrow see's the release of our For Court, For Courting tee, which is the second in the series of an ongoing collection of footwear tees, inspired by the old Royal Mail dress code in the workplace posters. More to follow featuring choice footwear of the trainer and shoe variety. This one features a pair of Indoor Super and Clarks Desert Boot.
Thursday finally see's the release of our ale, Hoppy Mondays, after a slight delay whilst licensing was sorted, now is the time. Yes we've always wanted to produce an ale and we teamed up with our mates in Soho Weekend Offender and Dancing Duck Brewery to brew a rather splendid bottle of hops mad goodness! The beer will be available in special 4 pack gift packs and will be sold directly from the Weekend Offender website, (they've got the logistics and team in place you see). We're excited and proud, we hope you will be too.

The Kinks are one of the most underrated bands in the history of rock. For some reason, they never quite attained the status of other British groups like The Who, The Rolling Stones, or The Beatles. In my opinion, they are superior to all three.
Although best known for their early hits ("You Really Got Me," "Set Me Free," "Tired Of Waiting For You," "All Day And All Of The Night," etc.), the Kinks created their most timeless music from 1966-71.
Face To Face (***1/2, 1966) found leader Ray Davies writing music for himself instead of trying to please others for the first time. The result - The Kinks most satisfying record up to that point. Face To Face includes the great "Sunny Afternoon" as well as lesser-known gems like "Rose Won't You Please Come Home," "House In The Country," "Rainy Day In June," and "Too Much On My Mind."
Village Green Preservation Society (1968, *****) is the group's finest hour. This level of creativity was never seen again from Davies, and this was the last Kinks album to feature the original lineup (Ray & Dave Davies, Pete Quaife, and Mick Avory). Tracks like "Village Green," "Animal Farm" (Quaife's personal favorite), and "Sitting By The Riverside" are simply unlike anything other music. This is a record to pick up soon and give it a few listens before judging it... you won't be disappointed!
Percy (Soundtrack) (1971, ***1/2) is a bizarre collection of instrumental movie themes and pleasant Davies tracks, including some of his finest songs, "God's Children," "Moments," and "The Way Love Used To Be."
Muswell Hillbillies (1971, ****) is the last great Kinks album. The title is a pun on the place where Davies grew up (Muswell Hill) and the theme throughout the songs is similar to the Village Green LP. The sound (kind of countrified-Kinks) is different from other Kinks records and the songs are, once again, top-notch. This was their first album for RCA and the highlights include "20th Century Man," "Holiday," and "Holloway Jail."
The Kink Kronikles (1972, *****) is an excellent U.S. compilation - part greatest hits, part rarities, and part album tracks. This is a good place to start if you're unfamiliar with The Kinks late '60s-early '70s material. Most of the essentials are here: "Sunny Afternoon," "Waterloo Sunset," "Shangri-La," "This Is Where I Belong," "Wonderboy," and "Lola," just to name a few. My one complaint is that it includes only one the title track from Village Green, but hey, there's another good reason to get the Village Green album and this one!
The Great Lost Kinks Album (1973, *****) is well-worth seeking out and spending more that you would on a normal album (if it's in good shape, of course... I paid $15 for my tattered copy). Although not truly a "lost" album, it nonetheless includes some of Davies' best work ("Till Death Do Us Part," "Where Did The Spring Go," "Lavender Hill,"). Most of the tracks are outtakes from 1967-68, with some rare B-sides and songs written for TV shows too. The LP went out of print very soon after it was released, but bootleg CDs are in general circulation.
Other releases by The Kinks from this period include The Kink Kontroversy (1966, **1/2), Arthur (1969, ***), and Lola Verses Powerman And The Money Go Round (1970, **1/2).
