Spotify released its 2014 Year in Music retrospective this week, and -- along with standard quirky facts (more "happy music" was played on May 30 than any other day of the year) and the year's most popular artists (Ed Sheeran, Katy Perry, Coldplay) -- Spotify introduced its 2014 "breakout genre": Metropopolis.
As instantly recognizable portmanteaux go, "metropopolis" is no "cronut." What does it mean? Going by etymology alone, metropopolis would be pop music for urbanites, but we're not talking about geography here, are we? The new mashup of "pop" and "metropolis" is notable mainly for being defined not by what it is, but what it isn't.
Metropopolitans like pop music, but also sort of wish they didn't like it quite so much, so they qualify those pleasures as guilty. They know all the words to "Bang Bang" but are kind of embarrassed to admit it. (Don't be!) To be a metropopolis fan — not that anyone knew they were before this week — is to say meh to Taylor Swift, but sure! to Ellie Goulding. It is the anti-Katy Perry pop subgenre, as if that is a reasonable burden to place on fans of "undeniably-catchy" pop in the first place.
Metropopolis is code for "could be on a 'Twilight' soundtrack" or "maybe Apple used it in a commercial" or even "critics other than Rob Sheffield approve," to try to nail down a few approximate translations of the slippery and slightly misleading "indie-leaning" tag. It is a safe playlist to cue when someone you barely know comes over, because it says just enough about who you're not, which is definitely not the kind of person who just looped Selena Gomez's "The Heart Wants What It Wants" all afternoon, definitely not at all.
If you needed a metropopolitan algorithm, it wouldn't even be that complex: from well-known pop acts, subtract Max Martin and Pharrell, and you have a base to build on. If you're eyeballing it, just discard anyone your 9-year-old niece would like and go from there.
But it's not going to matter, not really. Spotify isn't likely to make metropopolis happen, and not only because it's a guaranteed autocorrect trap and none of the VMA hosts will want to chance pronouncing it on live TV. In an unbundled cloud-based world, the possibilities for subgenres are limitless, which is to say, the more they propagate and refine, the less useful they are — at some point, you refine and refine until you end up with a playlist full of one artist you already like — just like those old albums we're told we no longer want. Let pop music remain a big, ecumenical tent instead, where Ladyhawke can follow Ariana Grande, where simple pleasures aren't furtive, where sophistication isn't necessarily separated from the crowd-pleasing hits.

The Foundation is looking for Expressions of Interest (EoIs) from individuals to support the early years teaching workforce. As part of our grant letter for 2017/18, the Department for Education (DfE) has asked the Foundation to specifically support those who teach and train the early years and childcare workforce. In order to develop an appropriate support programme, we have commissioned a piece of research to identify both the key stakeholders, and the training needs of individuals in this area. This research is designed to inform the design of a support programme for those who teach and train the early years and childcare workforce. There will also be a fuller training needs analysis undertaken by the Foundation, which is expected to be available by July 2017. The overall aim of this work is to support improved motivation, learning and achievement of those individuals working in early years and childcare at Level 2 and 3.

Who is R. K. Raghavan?
R. K. Raghavan is a former senior policeman who headed the Special Investigation Team (SIT) tasked with investigating the Gujarat pogroms of 2002. Raghavan was one of three police officials indicted for security lapses leading to the assassination of former Indian prime minister Rajiv Gandhi and fourteen others in 1991. To explain how the suicide bomber got a belt bomb past the police metal detectors into a secure zone in Sriperumbudur, Raghavan testified under oath that the bomber had come in only after the prime minister beckoned to her, a claim inconsistent with photographic evidence.
Despite Raghavan's past, the BJP government of A. B. Vajpayee appointed him director of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in 1999, and soon after conferred on him the President's medal. As head of the SIT, he concluded in 2011 that there was insufficient evidence to indict Narendra Modi for wilfully allowing the 2002 communal violence to proceed. The SIT report has been criticised by many observers including former Gujarat State Director-General of Police R.B. Sreekumar, and journalist Manoj Mitta. Commentators note a large number of logical and factual errors in the SIT report, arbitrary choices to ignore certain strands of evidence, and failure to carry out its mandate.
Supreme Court appointed amicus curiae, Raju Ramachandran, and others felt that despite its failings the SIT uncovered sufficient evidence to indict Narendra Modi. The SIT closure report is currently (April 2014) being challenged by Zakia Jafri in the Gujarat High Court.

Annual preventive care with a licensed veterinarian is one of the most important things you can do to ensure that your pet(s) live longer, healthier lives and enjoy their time with you to the fullest. This sentiment is recognized by the American Veterinary Medical Association. By providing preventive care you allow us to detect health issues such as heart disease or endocrine dysfunction, cancer, dental disease and early signs of kidney failure.
In many cases animals won't show symptoms until advanced stages of disease. Your pet depends on you to advocate for him or her. Immediate intervention increases the odds for successful treatment. Regular preventive care also helps to monitor chronic conditions such as arthritis or allergies that can severely impact your pet's quality of life.
Preventive care should include: immunization and physical examination, tests for heartworms and intestinal parasites, flea and tick control, nutrition and behavior management, dental care and routine bloodwork. We work together with pet parents to create custom treatment plans for each patient and provide important reminders for when these services are due.
With new information frequently available, veterinary medicine is in a constant state of growth. Regular preventive care allows us to communicate with you about updated medical treatments. This helps in maintaining and improving your pet's health. An annual exam is a small investment in effort, time and money compared to the return investment you recieve in your fur baby's overall quality of life.

Agency of Agriculture, Rural Vermont work on compromise on raw milk regs
By Olga Peters/The Commons
The Agency of Agriculture and the organization Rural Vermont both say they are close to finding a compromise after weeks of what Rural Vermont's Jared Carter called "intense meetings."
Up for discussion was how to protect farmers selling raw milk from litigation, while not expecting them to play food police to their customers.
On these two points, the Agency of Agriculture and Rural Vermont agree. It's interpreting Vermont's raw milk legislation they're still working on.
Fluid consumption
Vermont's Raw Milk bill (Act 62), passed in 2009, allows farmers to sell unpasteurized milk directly to consumers for "fluid consumption" in limited quantities.
Rural Vermont has worked with raw-milk producers for a year and a half to host dairy classes in which participants learn to make yogurt, butter, and cheese, said Carter.
But the Agency of Agriculture's Daniel Scruton, dairy section chief, sent Rural Vermont a notice of warning, dated Feb. 10, ordering the group to cease teaching these classes or face possible legal action.
In his letter, Scruton wrote, "Your homepage is advertising for a class to make cheese and other products from raw milk with the tag line 'Farmers! Interested in boosting your raw milk sales by teaching OR hosting a dairy processing workshop? Let's talk!'"
Scruton said to Rural Vermont that the workshops "clearly show that your intent is to both put on classes that are in themselves a violation of [state law], and to encourage farmers [to] break the law by selling milk to be processed to unlicensed persons."
Scruton said he sent a similar warning to Carter's predecessor almost a year ago.
The crux of the agency's warning centered on the definition of "fluid consumption."
According to Scruton, encouraging farmers to teach consumers to make yogurt or cheese defies the bill's requirement that the raw milk be sold as fluid milk. The raw milk, said Scruton, is not intended for transformation into another dairy product like cheese.
In addition, Scruton said that making products like cheese requires a milk handler's license in Vermont, which is something many of the farmers teaching the dairy classes don't have.
'Milk police'
Rural Vermont's interpretation of "fluid consumption," according to Carter, refers to the milk at time of sale.
"Any other interpretation makes farmers into milk police," he said.
Carter does not agree with the Agency's interpretation that teaching classes requires farmers to get a milk handler's license. The Vermont constitution protects free speech and education, he added.
Regarding his discussions with Scruton and other representatives from the Agency of Agriculture, Carter said that there is a consensus that the agency shouldn't be in the business of policing people in their own kitchens.
Expanding economic options
In a state where dairy is the top agricultural product — and has been for more than a century — Rural Vermont advocates for raw milk because the organization views it as a better economic option for farmers, said Carter.
Farmers who sell their milk to commercial dairies are burdened with a complicated national pricing system and are often paid less for a gallon of milk than it costs them to produce it.
But farmers selling raw milk directly to consumers can charge the price that reflects their production costs.
Rural Vermont estimates that there are 150 raw milk farmers in the state.
Raw milk represents huge economic benefits to farmers, said Carter, who estimates that raw milk sales total $1 million annually in Vermont.
"We're prepared to stand up for [these farmers'] rights and our interpretation of the law," said Carter.
Since sending out a Feb. 16 notice that they had to cancel the dairy classes, Carter said, his organization has received hundreds of calls and e-mails supporting the classes. The letters have come from farmers, lawyers, and consumers.
"It's really been overwhelming, in a good way," Carter said.
While Rural Vermont claims that its support of raw milk is an economic issue, Scruton said that his agency's concern is for the health and safety of consumers.
According to Scruton, milk is a sterile product when it comes straight from a healthy cow. However, once out in the open, if handled incorrectly, it can become a host to bacteria such as listeria monocytogenes. He compares drinking raw milk to eating raw hamburger.
Raw milk supporters, such as journalist and nutrition researcher Sally Fallon Morell, say that raw milk is better for one's health than pasteurized milk. She is cofounder of the Weston A. Price Foundation, which asserts that raw milk stimulates the immune system, builds a healthy gut wall, prevents absorption of pathogens and toxins in the gut, and ensures assimilation of nutrients, among other positive qualities.
According to Morell, pasteurized milk lacks the enzymes that help the body digest it, which can lead to issues like lactose intolerance.
A legislative solution?
"It's clear. Farmers are allowed to sell raw milk, and customers can take raw milk home and do with it what they want," said state Rep. Carolyn Partridge, D-Windham.
Partridge, who chairs the House Committee on Agriculture, said that not all committee members supported the Raw Milk Bill.
She said that farmers who know that customers are making yogurt at home with their raw milk could become vulnerable to lawsuits if the customers get sick. Also, she said, there's an overriding concern that a raw milk food scare would result in bad publicity for Vermont's vital dairy industry as a whole.
Scruton said the Agency of Agriculture and Rural Vermont are still in the discussion phase, but both parties hope to come to a resolution shortly.
Part of the compromise might entail changing the language of the 2009 Raw Milk bill, he said, although he would not elaborate on the nature of these changes or how they would solve the impasse.
According to Scruton, language changes are due to go to the Legislature next week.

University of Plymouth Students' Union (UPSU) has claimed the Varsity Championship for the sixth year in a row, defeating Plymouth Marjon University 23-17.
The annual sporting event between Plymouth's universities ran throughout February and March, with 19 matches over 11 different disciplines involving more than 500 student athletes. The championship was decided on the last day of the competition, when 11 matches took place.
Varsity is the biggest student sporting event in the city, with thousands either taking part or supporting, and the big rugby and football fixtures played at the home grounds of Plymouth Albion and Plymoth Argyle.
Originating as a challenge between the men's rugby teams to raise money for charity, Varsity is steeped in history, with years of competitions taking place in the city. Over the years, the programme has grown to feature a wide range of sports played at both institutions.
Each year the event raises money for charity through ticket sales and donations. This year's beneficiaries were The English Federation of Disability Sport, chosen by UPSU and Plymouth Marjon University's choice, the Mario Curtis Foundation.


Leeds Dock is easily accessible being a short distance from the centre of Leeds by either foot, bike, car or public transport. We even have our own unique water taxi service that run on a daily basis.

Sardines: Fish Food or People Food?
Seen every year along the east coast of South Africa, the sardine run is one of the greatest examples of migration in the world, but is under threat. The most notable difference between this and other migrations is that you can participate. So get on that wet suit, don your mask, grab your snorkel and join in!
Why do the sardines migrate?
Sardines lay their eggs on the Agulhas Bank, a broad shallow bank that stretches from Cape Point to Port Alfred, 700km long and 250km broad in places. The Agulhas current sweeps the eggs down towards Cape Point and there the Benguela current carries it up the west coast where the eggs hatch and the baby fry start to feed and grow. The sardines feed on the nutrients carried up from the Antarctic by the Benguela current. After two to three years, the adult sardines move back around Cape Point to lay their eggs on the Agulhas Bank and start the cycle again. Whether the run takes place prior or post to egg laying is unclear.
The sardine run is the result of a weather phenomenon peculiar to the Cape. During summer, the prevailing strong south-easterly winds blow the Benguela up the west coast and help generate the upwellings that feed the sardines. In May, the wind swings round and becomes north-westerly, driving a section of the Benguela up the east coast. It is this cool stream, full of nutrients, which the sardines follow. On a few occasions, when this break away current does not occur, there is no sardine run.
Anchovies also spawn along the Agulhas bank and mature up the west coast. The number of sardines and anchovies that mature each year can vary enormously. The reasons behind these fluctuations are not well understood.
But what has this has got to do with the 'help save the sardine run' campaign?
This great migration is under threat. The warning signs are all around. The first sign of trouble came from the plunging numbers of Penguins, Gannets and other sea birds. According to Dr Ross, the birds are dying of starvation. 'Starving', you ask?
One reason for this is over fishing around the islands where the birds nest. Possibly the biggest problem is the method for predicting and granting fishing quotas. When the populations are healthy the quotas allocated are sustainable, but when the population of sardines and anchovies are depressed, over fishing takes place.
Over fishing happens because population predication is not well understood, statistical data are out of date, (the last data published by the Department of the Environment, which manages sardine and anchovy stocks on tonnage caught, was in 2003!) and little new research is being conducted. Nature is a balanced web of prey and predators. Removing a strand from the web often results in unforeseen consequences. If the sea birds are dying of starvation, are we going to see the numbers of dolphins, sharks, and game-fish plunging? We just don't know!
Why is the sardine run worth preserving?
Eco-tourism is the biggest employer in South Africa. It is the one economic sector that continues to grow, and could account for >17% of GDP. By comparison, mining is only 5% and commercial fishing is less than 0.5% of GDP. Jobs created in eco-tourism are sustainable and give dignity to the job holder. A miner, by contrast, is stuck kilometres underground in hot, dirty, dangerous conditions miles away from family. In preserving the sardines and anchovies and promoting marine eco-tourism, we can bring prosperity to rural communities along the west and east coasts of South Africa, and protect and expand the existing marine eco-tourism businesses.
HOW can we preserve the run?
Through the power of social networking, we can make it happen! Preserve the wild stocks by farming anchovies and sardines. Create marine protected areas around the islands on which Penguins and sea birds have breeding colonies. Help the fisherman of the west and east coasts to become part of marine eco-tourism by using their skills, knowledge and equipment. Market existing marine eco-tourism up the west and east coasts of South Africa. We need to make the SARDINE RUN a 'must event' on everyone's 'Bucket List'.

Chartres in Lights 2019: from April 27 to October 12, every night.
With its illumination, the Church of Saint-Pierre has received rich new ornamental robes, and become once more a medieval jewel. This scenography illustrates a classic enhancement of religious heritage.
The Church of Saint-Pierre is the most important church in Chartres after the cathedral. It was first the abbey-church of the Abbey of Saint-Père, proven to be 7th century and of which an 11th century remains, after which it acquired its current Gothic architecture in the 13th century. It has a wonderful collection of stained glass including 13th century glass and elements of 16th century glass inherited from long-vanished churches. This collection of glass is very rich in both motifs and in colours.

Wayne Swan slams Abbott government's dismantling of successful reforms
By Gareth Hutchens
Updated January 15, 2015 — 8.28am first published at 2.00am
Former Treasurer Wayne Swan has launched a veiled attack on the Abbott government while in Washington DC, saying things that Australia's conservatives are currently trying to dismantle – such as Medicare and the national minimum wage – are the very reforms that have made the country so prosperous.
His attack comes on the same day as the Abbott government is celebrating the historic Australia-Japan free trade agreement coming into force – which begins on Thursday – marking an important occasion for the government.
Speaking at the US Center for Strategic and International Studies, in Washington DC, Mr Swan said it is "no accident" that Australia has recorded 24 years of uninterrupted economic growth because it comes after three decades of deliberate reforms.
"They are the result of thirty years of structural reforms … like floating the exchange rate, bringing down of the tariff wall, enterprise bargaining, a decent minimum wage, Medicare, a strong transfer payment system and safety net and universal national retirement incomes," Mr Swan said.
His comments come as the Abbott government has spent this week defending its plan to cut the Medicare rebate by $20 for short visits to doctors.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott says the controversial policy is supposed to help the Medicare system become more sustainable, but the proposal has been slammed by GPs and other health practitioners, with Labor calling it a deliberate assault on the principle of universal healthcare.
"These reforms saw the Australian economy become the envy of the developed world and indeed, for ten years, Australia's unemployment rate has sat below six per cent, even in the midst of the global financial crisis, having only just crept back up to that figure again in January last year," Mr Swan said on Thursday.
"Ours is a country where the overwhelming majority can gain a good education, valuable skills, experience the dignity of work ... and have the resources to provide an even better life for their children," he said.
The Abbott government's Commission of Audit last year recommended a drastic cut to the minimum wage and an overhaul of the national system whereby a different minimum wage ought to apply in each jurisdiction of Australia.
"Having a single national minimum wage disadvantages workers attempting to gain a job in states like Tasmania and South Australia where wages and the costs of living are generally lower than in other states," the report said.
Mr Swan's comments were made ahead of the release of a new Inclusive Prosperity report, which has been written by a group chaired by former US Secretary of the Treasury Larry Summers.
The report will call for governments around the world to focus on growth-enhancing reforms that boost 'inclusive' prosperity rather than prosperity for the rich only.
It comes as Prime Minister Abbott releases a joint statement with Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Thursday to mark the official start of the Australia-Japan free trade agreement.
The agreement is an "historic development in economic relations" that "lays the foundation for the next phase of bilateral economic relations," the joint statement says.

The world was my oyster and I felt like a myriad of possibilities were about to open up to me. I was in my early twenties at the time. Having returned to the tiny, densely populated island / republic of Singapore, I lived with my family as most young people do. My dad was looking forward to my getting a stable job and settling at home after having spent years away at college.
I, on the other hand, had other plans. I was ready to begin my career but I wanted freedom, adventure and growth to come with it. I was not about to choose an ordinary life. Much to the chagrin of my father I had firmly decided to design something quite unusual … even quite extraordinary.
I woke up one morning for an early morning breakfast in the heart of town. Sitting in Borders Cafe in the heart of an orchard I was in a great place to be the observer and take in the sights of this dynamic metropolis. In the small hours of the morning, the city's peaceful demeanor was a rare sight. The city had not yet awoken … I leaned back enjoying my early breakfast and tea, sitting by myself and enjoying my own company.
On the table next to me, two women were speaking very excitedly and sharing a meal. I could not help but notice their bubbling exuberance and I found myself rather drawn to them.
Then a most surprising moment transpired. Like a gift fluttering from the heavens, a velvety black butterfly arrived and danced amongst our tables. The excitement escalated to giddy squeals as this force of nature came to each one of us kissing us on our cheeks, weaving past our hair. This butterfly was not shy!
The lady at the table next to me said "It's a black butterfly! Black butterflies always arrive at the most opportune moments in my life"! She started regaling numerous significant moments in her life when black butterflies had appeared.
We basked in the butterfly and her story. This brilliant performance from nature connected us all instantly. The lady who spoke of black butterflies introduced herself as Shantelle Gold an Inspirational Life Coach. She asked me for a means of contact and I offered a simple business card that stated in plain and simple font … WRITER.
Lo and behold, I had a week to obtain my visa and I was jetting off to New Delhi!
The adventure had begun in a most unusual way. Before we knew it, we were on a plane diving into the unknown. This would be my first trip to India and we would arrive on New Years Eve of 2002. The plane landed and we were whisked away to a home in the heart of Delhi.
All I remember upon arrival was being taken aback by the immense difference in my environment. The architecture was grandiose and old, emanating of eras and legends past. Cows walked casually in the streets, nonchalantly mingling with traffic and dust.
I had always been well-travelled, having visited most of the world's continents, but nothing had quite prepared me for a sight such as this. The scene before me seemed to be painted in a reddish brown sheen. The buildings, even the air was painted in this rich coat of color. I felt like I had been delivered to an entirely new world. The noises and the hustle and bustle in the air seemed so foreign. As the observer, I watched this new society as it went about the importance of its daily regime.
Although I had lived in Asia, I had never been surrounded by such a crowd of beautiful people all with huge, almond eyes and long velvet lashes. In the midst of the clamor, I admired the raw beauty about me. It was as if I had been transplanted into the heart of a National Geographic Special.
All these thoughts buzzed through my mind as we were driven to the home of one of the Sangat. The family we would be staying with was actively involved in the running of the ashram we were to visit out in the outskirts of Delhi. We were being taken to their home in Delhi that was situated next to the restaurant that they owned. Half of the house was a family home and the other half opened up to a restaurant that served the most delectable Indian food I had tasted in my life! It was a family business and everyone had a role and was involved in its running.
Chotu (which in Hindi means tiny), was the name of the robust, stocky son who had picked us up from the airport and served as our main guide. He was a true testament to his parents as he was wonderfully respectful of his family and made it his responsibility to cater to all our needs.
Immediately, I sensed the strong bonds within their family. Although the mother of the family was Catholic and her husband was Sikh, they both warmly embraced their respective religious practices. The walls of their home were decorated with altars of the Virgin Mary and the Christ child, as well as depictions of Guru Nanak's lineage of spiritual leaders.
Here we were, five strangers from all walks of life and different parts of the world who had been brought to their home. Knowing nothing about us, other than we were there for the ashram they readily assumed responsibility to take care of us, unconditionally.
In the excitement and glee, they hugged and welcomed us so warmly, I instantly felt at home. Truly this was a culture that was wonderfully accepting.
We were told it was time to feast and no one was about to argue with that idea. Our orders were swiftly taken and in less than an hour a huge buffet of food was brought over from the restaurant to the living room.
We licked our lips, as savory vegetarian dishes were delivered one by one … Saagpaneer, cucumber raita, spicy vegetable curries, and rich desserts. The feasting began and we were being spoiled. Everyone glowed and shared stories of who they were and what they were in search of. I was amazed by the different walks of life that had gathered and the gentleness in their souls and the deep desire that each one had to evolve in their lives.
We kept on chatting and sharing even as we nestled in our beds. There was so much to learn about each other and we were all extremely hopeful about the adventure that was about to unfold.
And so ended my first night in Delhi and I fell in to a peaceful sleep. At the crack of dawn, at 5 am, we were awoken. Several jeeps had been arranged for our group to be transported deep into the heart of the Punjab province to a small town known as Patiala. We would be visiting and staying at the Guru Nanak Ashram located in the village.
The open-top jeeps soon left New Delhi's perimeter and began to speed past rocky roads. We travelled across the most amazing scenery, passing through villages whose people were engaged in their early morning activities. I was shocked to see so many making cow manure patty cakes that they were drying out to use in a variety of ways. Cow manure cakes provide the fuel that generates heat and electricity. I could see why cows are so revered in India. They provide dairy products, leather, labor and were also a valuable source of fuel.
This was the first and very powerful lesson of this spiritual journey.
I was jolted once more into profound culture shock. Seeing such poverty before me, I could only fall silent and give gratitude for the luxurious life I had been exposed to back home. How could I even begin to complain about anything in my life, when there are so many that people who inhabit this huge continent who smile and laugh despite the few possessions they own and the many adversities they face.
Even small children were hard at work, their childhood filled with the very mature, adult concerns of making money and providing for their family. It seemed like the innocence and rapture of childhood was stolen from so many.
My heart broke in witnessing this utter destitution. With poverty that was so extreme and conditions that were so widespread, I did not know how to embrace what I was faced with, except to make a sworn testimony to always be grateful and always live my life to the fullest, and to touch as many as I possibly can with my life's work.
While my heart kept breaking, and I breathed into silence I knew I was being weaned on the milk of compassion. And this was the first and very powerful lesson of this spiritual journey.
Hours passed and we eventually approached our destination, the city of Patiala. It was a small quiet province in south-eastern Punjab. Foreigners were rare in these parts and we had been told to dress conservatively in Shalwarkameez in respect to the culture in to which we would be entering.
We brushed against green foliage and shrubbery entering into the humble infrastructure that made up the town. Donkeys lumbered by with their owners and the crowd stared at us quizzically. As much as we tried to dress the part, we were obviously foreigners. The town folk could not help but drink in our presence that represented a world so removed from their reality.

I enjoyed reading about your journey to India, specially to Punjab, where I am originally from. I totally agree with you about the warmth & hospitality you find in north India. You can instantly feel that you are a part of the family, not a visitor for a few hours or days. No where else in the world have I been able to experience this.
The story about the butterfly is quite interesting. There are no coincidences in life. You were meant to meet Babaji & share his learnings with the rest of the world.
I am looking forward to reading about your India experiences. My Indian husband and I are relocating to India Jan. 16. I have never visited. We will be there for a year and then decide if we make it a permanent move.

Film Editor John Victor-Smith
Original Music Ken Thorne
Written by George MacDonald Fraser from his novel; based on characters by Thomas Hughes
Produced by Denis O'Dell, David V. Picker
Directed by Richard Lester
The comedy action adventure Royal Flash was a disappointment for the directing career of Richard Lester. That George MacDonald Fraser's handsome adaptation of his own Captain Harry Flashman book doesn't quite work is perhaps not the director's doing, as Lester's slapstick antics certainly keep the movie alive and humming on a narrative level. But Lester's particular style and the casting of Malcolm McDowell go against Fraser's cynically irreverent tone, flattening the jolly dastard Flashman character into something less original. Just the same, Royal Flash has its own following of devoted fans.
The 1840s. An absolute coward and turncoat, young Captain Harry Flashman (Malcolm McDowell) inadvertently becomes a national hero on an Afghan battlefield. Back in London, Harry uses his fame to bully others, claim unearned rewards, and woo exciting women like the promiscuous Lola Montes (Florinda Bolkan). After making an enemy of the young German nobleman Otto von Bismarck (Oliver Reed), Flashman ventures to a small European kingdom and is tricked into aiding a royal conspiracy by Rudi von Sternberg (Alan Bates) and his henchmen De Gautet and Kraftstein (Tom Bell and Lionel Jeffries). Flashman just happens to resemble a nobleman they want out of the way, and since part of the impersonation plan includes spending a wedding night with the beautiful Duchess Irma (Britt Ekland), Flashman agrees. At least, until he finds out that Bismarck is going to give him two nasty saber scars, so as to better resemble the man he's replacing!
George MacDonald Fraser's Harry Flashman is a character borrowed from Thomas Hughes' Tom Brown's School Days, where he serves as the gallant Tom Brown's classroom nemesis, a school villain. The amiable conceit of Fraser's books is that the 'hero' of School Days has grown up and found his deceitful place in the King's officer corps. In an inversion of the heroic epic, the more cowardly and dishonorable Flashman behaves, the more success comes his way. Fraser's numerous Flashman books insert the character into every military event of the 19th century, from the Crimea to the Zulu Wars to the American Civil War. In each case Flashman behaves abominably, directing all of his efforts to seducing the closest desirable female. Royal Flash is an adaptation of the second book in the series.
Fraser's screenplay maintains the notion of involving Captain Harry with real personalities of the age. Notorious lover Lola Montes is just the kind of woman Flashman seeks, and Brazilian actress Florinda Bolkan supplies the appropriate dark allure. Also scoring well is Oliver Reed as the humorless Bismarck. In a cute bit Flashman treats the glowering Otto abominably, with some help from London policeman Bob Hoskins. But once in the heart of Bavaria Harry becomes a pawn in Bismarck's plan to expand German territory with a re-run of the plot from The Prisoner of Zenda. Harry is sucked into the scheme for less than honorable reasons.
Royal Flash is a pleasant diversion, but it does almost nothing with the amusing idea that a celebrated hero might be an unapologetic 'cad and bounder'. The main problem is that the impish Malcolm McDowell is simply too nice. This Harry Flashman would be Tom Brown's mischievous friend, not the bully boy who infuriates because he comes out on top, no matter how badly he behaves. The emphasis is instead on Richard Lester's slapstick set pieces, which had worked so well in his Musketeers movies. Flashman avoids being skewered by sabers in elaborate comedy stunts that include flying dishes, falling masonry and swinging on chandeliers. Many of these gags are quite funny, but they don't necessarily fit in with Fraser's comic-cynical concept of the Flashman character. Like Harold Lloyd, things just miraculously work out in Harry's favor. He just isn't selfish or shallow enough in his mock villainy.
Curiously, Lester's insistence on repetitive slapstick comedy at the expense of character would mar his later Superman II and Superman III. As he did with Harry Flashman, Lester ignored Superman's core traits, making him the straight man for a lot of irrelevant low-comedy hi-jinks.
Without a darker-edged main character, many of Lester's pratfall antics aren't all that different from the comedy in groaners like Start the Revolution without Me. Elaborate scenes, such as the inauguration of the region's first steam locomotive, are used for feeble bits of inconsequential humor. The wholesale borrowing of the Zenda plot turns Flashman into a standard matinee hero and only adds to the feeling that we've seen it all before. Britt Ekland has one priceless gag as a frigid bride on her wedding night, but otherwise is used only a a momentary decoration. Second-billed Alan Bates charms his way through a number of good moments, but despite his efforts Royal Flash just doesn't take on a spirit of its own.
The production makes excellent use of beautiful English and Bavarian locations, including a number of breathtaking castles and palace interiors filmed by camera artist Geoffrey Unsworth. Costumes and décor are the equal of any period recreation, but again point up the film's inability to establish a consistent tone. Lester resolves every situation with yet another circus-act slapstick scene, leaving Royal Flash an amusing but forgettable show.
Fox's DVD of Royal Flash is presented in a fine, colorful enhanced transfer that improves on old flat cable versions. The clear soundtrack favor's Ken Thorne's period-flavored score. Film historian Nick Redman interviews Malcolm McDowell on the commentary track, which contains several interesting revelations. Five years before, McDowell was approached by Stanley Baker to star in a film based on the first Flashman novel, but the project fell apart. Various personalities including producer David Picker contribute to a making-of featurette, and another amusing short examines the literary world of the Flashman novels, which are still being written. Besides a trailer and a still gallery, the feature comes with an isolated music & sound effects track, the better to appreciate Ken Thorne's music.
On a scale of Excellent, Good, Fair, and Poor, Royal Flash rates:
Movie: Good
Supplements: Commentary with Nick Redman and Malcolm McDowell,

Busy Blackhawks send Lehner to Vegas, Gustafsson to Calgary
The Chicago Blackhawks were very busy with last-hour deals before Monday's NHL trade deadline, sending goaltender Robin Lehner to Las Vegas, defenseman Erik Gustafsson to Calgary and prospect Nathan Noel to Philadelphia.
An hour after the trade deadline passed, Lehner sent out a pair of tweets: one thanking Chicago and the other saying he is "really excited to join Vegas."
The Golden Knights later confirmed the deal, which also sees forward Martins Dzierkals go to Vegas and the Blackhawks get goalie Malcolm Subban (a pending restricted free agent), defenseman prospect Slava Demin and a second-round pick.
Lehner signed a one-year, $5 million contract with Chicago in July. He has posted a 16-10-5 record with a 3.01 goals-against average and .918 save percentage in 33 appearances (31 starts) this season.
The 28-year-old Swede enjoyed a career season with the New York Islanders in 2018-19, finishing as a Vezina Trophy finalist while winning the William M. Jennings Trophy and the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy. Lehner owned a 25-13-5 mark with a career-best six shutouts, a 2.13 goals-against average and .930 save percentage.
Lehner has posted a 113-120-45 career record with 14 shutouts, a 2.73 goals-against average and .918 save percentage in 298 appearances (279 starts) with the Ottawa Senators, Buffalo Sabres, Islanders and Blackhawks.
Subban, 26, is 9-7-3 with a 3.18 GAA and .890 save percentage in 20 games this season. The younger brother of star Devils defenseman P.K. Subban, Malcolm is 30-23-7 in 65 career games with a 2.97 GAA and .899 save percentage.
Chicago confirmed they sent Gustafsson, 27, to the Flames for a third-round pick.
Gustafsson has six goals and 20 assists in 59 games this season, after going for 17 and 43 for 60 points (all career highs) last season. He has 116 points (28 goals, 88 assists) in four seasons with Chicago, which selected him in the fourth round (No. 93 overall) in 2012.
In exchange for Noel, a 22-year-old center who registered 17 points (six goals, 11 assists) in 47 games between Indy of the ECHL and Rockford of the AHL, the Blackhawks announced they received defenseman T.J. Brennan from the Flyers.
The Blackhawks are sending the 30-year-old Brennan to Rockford. A second-round pick by Buffalo in 2007, Brennan has not played in the NHL since registering a goal and six penalty minutes in seven games with Toronto in 2015-16.
He has five goals, eight assists and 29 penalty minutes in 53 career NHL games with Buffalo, Florida and Toronto.

In the first part of this article you will find the short explanation how to perform Walk Forward Analysis for Turbo Cycles module. In other words, we discuss here the approach that allows to find the optimal cyclical model for any financial instrument. After that you will find more detailed explanation regarding this issue.
and wait while the program performs the analysis.
Here are ranked Turbo Cycles models, i.e. the cyclical models that provide the best (in terms of forecasting abilities) projection line. We are proud to inform you that Timing Solution performs this work fantastically fast (Our first backtesting modules worked not minutes like this one, they worked days and weeks).
The program runs Turbo Cycle module with appropriate backtested parameters. Watch how this model looks, try to vary LBC position to see how this model works under different conditions.
If this model works OK, leave it; otherwise close this Turbo Cycle module, go back to backtesting module, highlight the next Turbo Cycles model and watch how it works. We recommend to choose 1-3 of the best models.
In this case Turbo Cycles module displays two projection lines: a regular one and inverted.
When you run this module, the program sets the optimal parameters automatically, so you need just click button and wait while the computer will do this job.
[Forecast 50] - means that this model allows to forecast 50 bars ahead. If you have downloaded the daily chart, it will be 50 trading days forecast, if you use 1min. chart it will be 50 minutes forecast.
[Test #3 54.3% (+89/-75)] - means that on Test #3 interval this model proved 87 "good" forecast versus 75 "bad" forecast, i.e. in 54.3% of the case we have "good" forecast. The similar information for Test #2 and Test #1 intervals is presented.
The model should provide a "good" projection line on all three intervals, Test #1, Test #2 and Test #3.
