Although they're best known today for their lush, lyrically and musically profound (some would say bombastic) psychedelic-era albums, the Moody Blues started out as one of the better R&B-based combos of the British Invasion. The Moody Blues' history began in Birmingham, England, where one of the more successful bands during that time was El Riot & the Rebels, co-founded by Ray Thomas (harmonica, vocals) and Mike Pinder (keyboards, vocals). Pinder left the band, first for a gig with Jackie Lynton and then a stint in the Army.
In May of 1963, he and Thomas reunited under the auspices of the Krew Cats. Following some success in Germany, Thomas and Pinder decided to try turning professional, recruiting members from some of the best groups working in Birmingham, including Denny Laine (vocals, guitar), Graeme Edge (drums), and Clint Warwick (bass, vocals). The Moody Blues, as they came to be known, made their debut in Birmingham in May of 1964, and quickly earned the notice and later the services of manager Tony Secunda. A major tour was quickly booked, and the band landed an engagement at the Marquee Club, which resulted in a contract with England's Decca Records less than six months after their formation. The group's first single, "Steal Your Heart Away," released in September of 1964, didn't touch the British charts.
Their second single, "Go Now," released in November of 1964 — a cover of an American single by R&B singer Bessie Banks — fulfilled every expectation and more, reaching number one in England and earning them a berth in some of the top venues in England (including the New Musical Express Poll Winners Concert, appearing with some of the top acts of the period); its number ten chart placement in America also earned them a place as a support act for the Beatles on one tour and the release of the follow-up LP (Magnificent Moodies in England, Go Now in America) on both sides of the Atlantic. It was coming up with a follow-up hit to "Go Now," however, that proved their undoing. Despite their fledgling songwriting efforts and the access they had to American demos — including one choice number by Ellie Greenwich — this version of the Moody Blues never came up with another single success. By the end of the spring of 1965, the frustration was palpable within the band. The group decided to make their fourth single, "From the Bottom of My Heart," an experiment with a different, much more subtly soulful sound, and it was one of the most extraordinary records of the entire British Invasion, with haunting performances all around. Unfortunately, the single only reached number 22 on the British charts following its release in May of 1965. Ultimately, the grind of touring, coupled with the strains facing the group, became too much for Warwick, who exited in the spring of 1966, and by August of 1966 Laine had left as well. Warwick was replaced by John Lodge, an ex-bandmate of Ray Thomas, and in late 1966 singer/guitarist Justin Hayward joined.
For a time, they kept doing the same brand of music, but Hayward and Pinder were also writing different kinds of songs that did get out as singles, to little avail. At one point in 1966, the band decided to pull up stakes from England — where their bookings had devolved to workingman's clubs and cabaret — and start playing in Europe, where even a "has-been" British act could earn halfway decent fees. And they began building a new act based on new material that was more in keeping with the slightly trippy, more pop-oriented folk-rock sounds and light psychedelia that were popular at the time. The Beatles were doing acoustic-textured folk-rock and incorporating Indian influences into their music, and even the Rolling Stones were releasing records such as "Lady Jane," so the Moody Blues moved past their R&B roots into new, more richly textured music. They were still critically short of money and prospects when fate played a hand, in the form of a project initiated by Decca Records.
In contrast to America, where home stereo systems swept the country after 1958, in England stereo was still not dominant, or even common, in most people's homes — apart from classical listeners — in 1966. Decca had come up with "Deramic Stereo," which offered a wide spread of sound, coupled with superbly clean and rich recording, and was trying to market it with an LP that would serve as a showcase, utilizing pop/rock done in a classical style. The Moody Blues, who owed the label unrecouped advances and recording session fees from their various failed releases, were picked for the proposed project, which was to be a rock version of Dvorák's New World Symphony. They did try to fulfill that specific commitment, but were never able to deliver the songs. Luckily, they were able to convince the staff producer and engineer that the proposed adaptation was wrongheaded, and to deliver something else; the producer, Tony Clarke, was impressed with some of the band's own compositions, and they arrived at the idea of an archetypal day's cycle of living represented in rock songs set within an orchestral framework. With Clarke leading the subterfuge in cooperation with engineer Derek Varnals, and conductor/arranger Peter Knight writing the orchestrations that were used to accompany the group's work and bridge the songs, the result was the album Days of Future Passed.
The record's mix of rock and classical sounds was new, and at first puzzled the record company, which didn't know how to market it, but eventually the record was issued, first in England and later in America. It became a hit in England, propelled up the charts by the single "Nights in White Satin" (authored and sung by Hayward), which made the Top 20 in the U.K.; in America, the chosen single was another Hayward song, "Tuesday Afternoon." All of it hooked directly into the aftermath of the Summer of Love, and the LP was — totally accidentally — timed perfectly to fall into the hands of listeners who were looking for an orchestral/psychedelic recording to follow works such as the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Better still, the band still had a significant backlog of excellent psychedelic-themed songs to draw on. Their debt wiped out and their music now in demand, they went to work with a follow-up record in short order and delivered In Search of the Lost Chord (1968), which was configured somewhat differently from its predecessor. Though Decca was ecstatic with the sales results of Days of Future Passed and the singles, and assigned Clarke and Varnals to work with them in the future, the label wasn't willing to schedule full-blown orchestral sessions again. And having just come out of a financial hole, the group wasn't about to go into debt again financing such a recording.
The solution to the problem of accompaniment came from within the group, with keyboard player Mike Pinder, and an organ-like device called a Mellotron. Using tape heads activated by the touch of keys, and tape loops comprised of the sounds of horns, strings, etc., the instrument generated an eerie, orchestra-like sound. Introduced at the start of the 1960s as a potential rival to the Hammond organ, the Mellotron had worked its way into rock music slowly, in acts such as the Graham Bond Organisation, and had emerged to some public prominence on Beatles records such as "Strawberry Fields Forever" and, more recently, "I Am the Walrus"; during that same year, in a similar supporting capacity, it would also turn up on the Rolling Stones' Their Satanic Majesties Request. As it happened, Pinder not only knew how to play it but had also worked in the factory that built them, which enabled him over the years to reengineer, modify, and customize the instruments to his specifications. (The resulting instruments were nicknamed "Pindertrons.")
In Search of the Lost Chord (1968) put the Mellotron in the spotlight, and it quickly became a part of their signature sound. The album, sublimely beautiful and steeped in a strange mix of British whimsy ("Dr. Livingston I Presume") and ornate, languid Eastern-oriented songs ("Visions of Paradise," "Om"), also introduced one psychedelic-era anthem, "Legend of a Mind"; authored by Ray Thomas and utilizing the name of LSD guru Timothy Leary in its lyric and choruses, along with swooping cellos and lilting flute, it helped make the band an instant favorite among the late-'60s counterculture. (The group members have since admitted at various times that they were, as was the norm at the time, indulging in various hallucinogenic substances.) That album and its follow-up, 1969's To Our Children's Children's Children, were magnificent achievements, utilizing their multi-instrumental skills and the full capability of the studio in overdubbing voices, instruments, etc. But in the process of making those two LPs, the group found that they'd painted themselves into a corner as performing musicians — thanks to overdubbing, those albums were essentially the work of 15 or 20 Moody Blues, not a quintet, and they were unable to re-create their sound properly in concert.
Indeed, from their album To Our Children's Children's Children — which was also the first release of the group's own newly founded label, Threshold Records — only one song, the guitar-driven "Gypsy," ever worked on-stage. Beginning with A Question of Balance (1970), however, the group specifically recorded songs in arrangements that they could play in concert, stripping down their sound a bit by reducing their reliance on overdubbing and, in the process, toughening up their sound. They were able to do most of that album and their next record, Every Good Boy Deserves Favour, on-stage, with impressive results. By that time, all five members of the band were composing songs, and each had his own identity, Pinder the impassioned mystic, Lodge the rocker, Edge the poet, Thomas the playful mystic, and Hayward the romantic — all had contributed significantly to their repertoire, though Hayward tended to have the biggest share of the group's singles, and his songs often occupied the leadoff spot on their LPs.
They weren't really a "singles" act by then, their audience principally consisting of college students who primarily purchased LPs, and their music was more prominent on FM radio than on AM radio. "Question" and "The Story in Your Eyes," for example, were known as singles, but were also totally overshadowed by their respective LPs. Their music had evolved from pop psychedelia to a very accessible, almost pop variety of progressive rock. Meanwhile, a significant part of their audience didn't think of the Moody Blues merely as musicians but, rather, as spiritual guides. John Lodge's song "I'm Just a Singer (In a Rock & Roll Band)" was his answer to this phenomenon, renouncing the role that had been thrust upon the band — it was also an unusually hard-rocking number for the group, and was also a modest hit single. Ironically, in 1972, the group was suddenly competing with itself when "Nights in White Satin" charted again in America and England, selling far more than it had in 1967; that new round of single sales also resulted in Days of Future Passed selling anew by the tens of thousands.
In the midst of all of this activity, the members, finally slowing down and enjoying the fruits of their success, had reached an impasse. As they prepared to record their new album, Seventh Sojourn (1972), the strain of touring and recording steadily for five years had taken its toll. Good songs were becoming more difficult to deliver and record, and cutting that album had proved nearly impossible. The public never saw the problems, and its release earned them their best reviews to date and was accompanied by a major international tour, and the sales and attendance were huge. Once the tour was over, however, it was announced that the group was going on hiatus — they wouldn't work together again for five years. During this era, Hayward and Lodge recorded a very successful duet album, Blue Jays (1975), and all five members did solo albums. All were released through Threshold, which was still distributed by English Decca (then called London Records in the United States), and Threshold even maintained a small catalog of other artists, including Trapeze and Providence, though they evidently missed their chance to sign a group that might well have eclipsed the Moody Blues musically, King Crimson. (Ironically, the latter also used the Mellotron as a central part of their sound, but in a totally different way, and were the only group ever to make more distinctive use of the instrument.)
Other bands, including Barclay James Harvest and the Strawbs, the latter coming into progressive rock from a folk orientation, picked off some of the Moody Blues' audience during the 1970s. Still, the Moodies' old records were strong enough, elicited enough positive memories, and picked up enough new listeners (even amid the punk and disco booms) that a double-LP retrospective (This Is the Moody Blues) sold extremely well, years after they'd stopped working together, as did a live/studio archival double LP (Caught Live + 5). By 1977, the members had decided to reunite, a process complicated by the fact that Pinder had moved to California during that period. Although all five participated in the resulting album, Octave (1978), there were numerous stresses during its recording, and Pinder was ultimately unhappy enough with the LP to decline to go on tour with the band. The reunion tour came off anyway, with ex-Yes keyboardist Patrick Moraz brought in to replace Pinder, and the album topped the charts.
The group's next record, Long Distance Voyager (1981), was even more popular, though by this time a schism was beginning to develop between the band and the critical community. The reviews from critics (who'd seldom been that enamored of the band even in its heyday) became ever more harsh, and although their hiatus had allowed the band to skip the punk era, they seemed just as out of step amid the MTV era and the ascendancy of acts such as Madonna, the Pretenders, the Police, et al. By 1981, they'd been tagged by most of the rock press with the label "dinosaurs," seemingly awaiting extinction. There were still decent-sized hits, such as "Gemini Dream," but the albums seemed rather mechanical and soulless, the result of going through the motions of being a group. Without Pinder with his broadly arcing mysticism, and with his would-be successor, Moraz, seemingly unable to contribute to the songwriting, they seemed a shadow of what they'd been to longtime fans. There were OK records, and the concerts drew well, mostly for the older songs, but there was little urgency or very much memorable about the new material.
That all changed a bit when one of them finally delivered a song so good that in its mere existence it begged to be recorded — the Hayward-authored single "In Your Wildest Dreams" (1986), an almost perfect successor to "Nights in White Satin." Mixing romance, passion, and feelings of nostalgia with a melody that was gorgeous and instantly memorable (and with a great beat), the single — along with its accompanying album — approached the top of the charts. They were boosted up there by a superb promotional video (featuring the Mood Six as the younger Moody Blues) that suddenly gave the group at least a little contemporary pop/rock credibility. The follow-up, "I Know You're Out There Somewhere," was a lesser but still impressive commercial success, with an even better secondary melodic theme, and the two combined gave them an essential and memorable pair of mid-decade hits, boosting their concert attendance back up and shoring up their contemporary songbag.
Still, the Moody Blues were no longer anywhere near the cutting edge of music, and by the end of the 1980s, they were again perceived as a nostalgia act, albeit one with a huge audience — a bit like the Grateful Dead without the critical respect or veneration. By that time, Moraz was gone and the core group was reduced to a quartet, with salaried keyboard players augmenting their work (along with a second drummer to back up Edge). They had also begun attracting fans by the tens of thousands to a new series of concerts, in which — for the first time — they performed with orchestras and, thus, could do their most elaborately produced songs on-stage. In 1994, a four-CD set devoted to their work, entitled Time Traveller, was released. By that time, their new albums were barely charting, and seldom attracting any reviews, but their catalog was among the best-selling parts of the Polygram library. A new studio effort, Strange Times, followed in 1999 and the live (at the Royal Albert Hall) Hall of Fame followed a year later, but it was the 1997 upgrades of their original seven albums, from Days of Future Passed to Seventh Sojourn, that attracted far more attention from the public. In 2003, Ray Thomas retired, and the Moody Blues carried on as a core trio of Hayward, Lodge, and Edge.

Purdue's Defense Dominates in Win Over Northwestern
tombrew94
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — It wasn't always pretty, but Purdue still found a way to scratch and claw past Northwestern on Sunday night at Mackey Arena to win its Big Ten conference opener.
The Boilers won 58-44, but needed a 9-point run late to finally pull away from the pesky Wildcats. Purdue, now 6-3 overall, did it with defense.
"It wasn't clean, but we did some good things,'' Purdue coach Matt Painter said afterward. ''And, obviously, we held them to 44.''
The defensive effort was impressive, especially after coming off Wednesday's 69-40 victory over No. 5 Virginia in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge. It's the first time Purdue held back-to-back opponents under 45 points since 1947. Purdue has held seven straight foes to 65 points or fewer, the longest such streak in nine years, and in the last three games, opponents were just for 10-for-58 shooting from 3-point range, a paltry 17.2 percent.
This one was ugly early, with Purdue leading just 22-16 at halftime. It stayed close until Purdue went on a 9-0 run late in the game to finally pull away. Sasha Stefanovic led the Boilers with 14 points, Matt Haarms had 12 and Jahaad Proctor had 10, keeping his double-figures scoring streak alive at 25 games dating back to last season at High Point.
"Northwestern played really hard and they made it difficult on us,'' Painter said. "If we just could have made some shots and got them on their heels a little bit, that would have helped, but it just didn't happen. We're still learning on offense, too, and we still have to adjust to things as we go.''
Purdue, the defending Big Ten co-champions, is now 43-4 at home against Big Ten opposition since the start of the 2014-15 season. Purdue has won 13 straight home games against Big Ten teams.
"The ball doesn't go in sometimes, but I think we responded to that well,'' Haarms said. "I think that one stretch, we went 10 of 11 in getting stops. We take pride in that. I'm proud of our guys. Even though the shots weren't falling, we were able to grind a team out and it feels pretty good.''
Painter started a big lineup for the second straight game, with Haarms and Trevion Williams playing together down low and Stefanovic starting at guard. Painter liked that his two big men didn't have any turnovers and made smart decisions with the basketball.
"Starting out the game, we tried to get it in the post because we knew they would double and we did a lot of big-to-big passing,'' Williams said. "We're more efficient when the ball gets in the paint. And when we play together, we make it hard on people defensively because we're so long.''
Stefanovic, the 6-foot-4 sophomore guard from Crown Point, Ind., led the team is scoring for the second straight game. He had a career-high 20 points Wednesday against Virginia.
NEXT UP: Purdue plays its second December Big Ten game next Sunday when it takes on Nebraska in Lincoln. The game is at 4 p.m. ET is will be televised by the Big Ten Network.

GameDay Preview: 3 Things I Want to See From Purdue vs. Illinois
Purdue has won every Big Ten home game so far and lost every game on the road. So this makes Tuesday night's home game with Illinois a must-win situation.
Meet the Opponent: Hello Again, Fighting Illini
Purdue is still smarting from a 26-point loss to Illinois two week ago, and gets a chance at redemption on Tuesday night.
Purdue's Raheem Mostert Poster Child For Perseverance
Raheem Mostert has waited a decade to make a name for himself, and the former Purdue player finally did just that Sunday in his record-setting performance in the NFC Championship Game.
Road Woes Continue for Boilers at Maryland
Purdue battles back after a dreadful start, but goes cold down the stretch and falls 59-50 to Maryland.
GameDay Preview: Three Things I Want to See from Purdue Against Maryland
Purdue has yet to win a conference game on the road this season, and Saturday's chance at Maryland might be difficult.
Meet the Opponent: The Maryland Terrapins
Maryland and Purdue are "eerily similar'' teams, according to Terps coach Mark Turgeon. Both are perfect at home in the Big Ten, and 0-3 on the road, which makes this matchup difficult for the Boilermakers.

Women's golf takes home Mountain West Championship

by Kyle Betz, Senior Staff Writer
San Diego State women's golf captured its second Mountain West Championship on April 17 in Rancho Mirage, Calif.
The victory ended the Aztecs' streak of three consecutive second-place finishes at the Mountain West Championship.
Following the first day of the championship, SDSU sat in second place, shooting 15-over-par 303.
After the second day of the competition, the Scarlet and Black led the field over eight other Mountain West teams at 22-over 598.
Entering the final round, SDSU led by nine and ten strokes over San Jose State and Nevada, respectively.
Although Nevada shot 9-over 297, the Aztecs shot 18-over-par 306 — just enough to win the championship by one stroke over the Wolf Pack at 40-over 904.
Individually, sophomore Sara Kjellker finished tied for second overall, shooting 3-over 219. She sunk two bogeys and a double bogey but recovered by draining four birdies.
Kjellker finished the competition stroking three pars in the last three holes and said the championship win has a profound meaning for the Aztecs.
"We've been working really hard the past year and to see that paying off together is so much fun," Kjellker said. "It feels like a milestone for us."
Kjellker ended the championship tied with San José State freshman Natasha Andrea Oon and two shots behind Fresno State sophomore Brigitte Thibault.
Besides Kjellker, the championship squad included junior Fernanda Escauriza, sophomore Gioia Carpinelli, senior Kitty Tam and senior Daniela Anastasi.
Escauriza, who was SDSU's individual women's golf champion at the Mountain West Championship in 2017, finished fourth overall. She shot 5-over 221, including two birdies on holes 11 and 13.
Like Kjellker, Escauriza drained two pars in the last two holes.
Carpinelli collected a host of bogeys and a double bogey on the 13th hole. The Switzerland native tied for 15th, however, shooting 16-over 232.
Carpinelli was named First Team All-Mountain West, while Kjellker and Escauriza were given Second Team All-Mountain West honors on April 23.
Tam recovered from a double bogey and bogey on holes 12 and 13 to shoot five-straight pars – finishing at 22nd place at 19-over 235.
Anastasi tied for 34th to round out the side, collecting four bogeys and a double bogey.
Kjellker said the team is continuing to improve as the season resumes.
"We work hard together every day. We do our drills together and we see each other getting better every day," Kjellker said. "For us, it's just a confidence boost going into regionals."
Head coach Leslie Spalding has led SDSU to its seventh NCAA Regionals appearance in the last eight years.
For Kjeller, Spalding has had an enormous influence on the program and attributed her guidance to its success.
"Coach Spalding (has had) the biggest impact on our team because she is very supportive no matter how you play," Kjellker said.
SDSU's conference championship win guaranteed a bid into the NCAA Regionals, which will take place from May 6 to 8.
The bid announcements will be nationally televised on the Golf Channel on April 24.
The regional competitions will be hosted by Michigan State, Oklahoma, Washington and Auburn on sites near all four campuses.
Kjellker said she prefers to play in Washington for the NCAA Regionals.
"My hope is that we will stay on the West Coast," Kjellker said. "It's kind of a similar area that we are used to – the same grass, wind, etc. No matter where we go, regionals is still going to be a really cool experience, but I think that would benefit us."
The Aztecs were one shot away from reaching the NCAA Championship last season after tying for seventh at the NCAA Regionals in San Francisco last year.
Kjellker said she likes the Aztecs' odds of making the NCAA Championship this time around.
"Regionals is probably the most exciting tournament of the year," Kjellker said. "I think we have a really good chance this year, especially now coming in with a (conference championship) win. It's going to be so much fun playing against the best schools."

Halloween — it's a strange name for an even stranger holiday but the name itself actually reveals a lot about the holiday's origins. Halloween's oldest iteration is found in an ancient Celtic festival called Samhain. The Celts believed on the night of the festival the boundary between the world of the living and the world of the dead was thinned and ghosts roamed the earth. When Christians came and colonized the Celts' homeland, they feared the festival's implications. They replaced the pagan Samhain with a Christianized version of the holiday called All Saint's or All Hallows Day on November 1. The night before this Christian holiday became known as All Hallows Eve and, eventually, Halloween.
Those cute little costumed ghouls running around the neighborhood on Halloween night have extensive historical origins. The History Channel's website says the costumes came from the pagan part of the holiday, when people initially dressed up to fool the ghosts they believed were roaming the earth.
The treat part comes from Halloween's religious aspect. According to Today I Found Out, a website dedicated to interesting facts, in the Middle Ages these costumed children began going around to neighbors, offering prayers in exchange for handouts in a practice called souling. Over time, both sides of Halloween mixed together with trick-or-treating morphing into the night of fun and scares it is today.

Dunkin' Says Bye to Foam Cups (But Bring Your Own Thermos Anyway)
Dunkin' Donuts announced Wednesday that it is phasing out its landfill-clogging polystyrene foam cups in favor of paper cups. The company's plan, which kicks off this spring in New York City and California restaurants with a targeted worldwide completion date of 2020, will prevent nearly 1 billion foam cups from entering the waste stream each year—and that's a pretty good thing!

How do you build a healthy city? Copenhagen reveals its secrets
The Danish capital ranks high on the list of the world's healthiest and happiest cities. With obesity and depression on the rise worldwide, here are its lessons for how to combat them culturally.
Maybe it's the Viking heritage. There is an icy open-air pool in the waters of Copenhagen's harbour, and although it is mid-winter Danes still jump in every day. On the front cover of the city's health plan, a lean older man is pictured climbing out, dripping, his mouth open in a shout that could be horror or pleasure. "Enjoy life, Copenhageners," urges the caption.
It's not every Copenhagener who wants to take strenuous exercise in cold water either for fun or to get fit. But the packed bike lanes of the Danish capital, even at this sometimes subzero time of year, are testimony to the success of a city that is aspiring to be one of the healthiest in the world. Copenhagen consistently sits at the very top of the UN's happiness index and is one of the star performers in the Healthy Cities initiative of the World Health Organisation, which, almost unknown and unsung, celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. The initiative was the idea of a group of individuals inspired by the Alma Ata Declaration of 1978, which was about elevating the status of primary care and public health in a world where everybody equated healthcare with hospital treatment after you got ill.

The Queen declares war on plastic after David Attenborough documentary
Buckingham Palace outlined new waste plans and said there was a 'strong desire to tackle the issue' at the highest levels of the Royal household.
It is thought that the Queen became personally interested in the problem of plastic after working with Sir David Attenborough on a conservation documentary dealing with wildlife in the Commonwealth.
The new measures include gradually phasing out plastic straws in public cafes and banning them altogether in staff dining rooms.
Internal caterers at Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, and the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh will now only be allowed to use china plates and glasses, or recyclable paper cups.

India's farmed chickens dosed with world's strongest antibiotics, study finds
Warning over wider global health impacts after findings reveal hundreds of tonnes of colistin – the 'antibiotic of last resort' – are being shipped to India's farms.
Routine use of some of the strongest antibiotics, which doctors have said should be preserved for the most extreme cases lest resistance to them should increase and prevent their use for the diseases for which they are intended, is now a common practice in farming in the developing world. The consequences will be felt throughout the world because resistance to strong antibiotics is spread among organisms.
Germs with qualities that can make them dangerous to humans will, if untreated or poorly treated, mutate into more powerful pathogens that are resistant to treatment. Poor or inadequate public heath treatments assists this process, potentially spreading pathogens around the world.
A study by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism has found that hundreds of tonnes of colistin, described as an antibiotic of last resort, have been shipped to India for the routine treatment of animals, chiefly chickens, on farms.

Huge levels of antibiotic use in US farming revealed
Livestock raised for food in the US are dosed with five times as much antibiotic medicine as farm animals in the UK, new data has shown, raising questions about rules on meat imports under post-Brexit trade deals.
The difference in rates of dosage rises to at least nine times as much in the case of cattle raised for beef, and may be as high as 16 times the rate of dosage per cow in the UK. There is currently a ban on imports of American beef throughout Europe, owing mainly to the free use of growth hormones in the US.
Higher use of antibiotics, particularly those that are critical for human health – the medicines "of last resort", which the World Health Organisation wants banned from use in animals– is associated with rising resistance to the drugs and the rapid evolution of "superbugs" that can kill or cause serious illness.

Cranswick cooks up plan to become 'zero waste' food business by 2030
One of the UK's largest food suppliers has promised to eradicate food waste from its business by 2030, as part of a sweeping new sustainability plan.
Cranswick yesterday launched its new 'Second Nature' plan, which features promises to switch to greener packaging and clean energy, as well as the headline commitment to ensure zero food waste.
The strategy comes hot on the heels of a promise to halve the company's use of plastic packaging by weight by 2025, which was made last month amid a flurry of industry commitments to curb plastic waste.

There is a great future in bioplastics. But businesses and consumers need to change first
In Mike Nichols's 1967 film, The Graduate, a disillusioned college grad, Ben, played by Dustin Hoffman, is taken aside at a party by a family friend, Mr. McGuire.
"I want to say one word to you, just one word," Mr. McGuire tells him.
"Yes, I am," Ben says, nodding.
"Plastics."
"Exactly how do you mean?" Ben asks.
"There's a great future in plastics. Think about it. Will you think about it?"
The "plastics" quote became the film's best-known line, and one of the best known in American cinema. And you know what? Mr. McGuire was right.
In the 1960s, plastics were mostly used for durable goods, from car seats to sleek, Italian-designed kitchenware. Shortly thereafter, the use of single-use, throwaway plastic for beverages, food, shopping bags and containers exploded, creating fortunes for the petrochemicals companies that would churn out hundreds of millions of tonnes of polyethylene, the most common and cheapest of the plastics.

Knives out! UK top food chain Leon announces it will ditch plastic cutlery from its outlets within months
UK High street restaurant chain Leon is to ditch plastic cutlery, it declared yesterday.
Throwaway knives, forks and spoons which end up choking the environment will be phased out within months at its 50-plus outlets.
The announcement is a victory for the Daily Mail's campaign to end the scourge of plastics polluting the planet and will pile pressure on rivals to follow suit.
Coffee house Le Pain Quotidien has already switched to biodegradable alternatives but the trailblazers shame the majority of high street chains which still hand out plastic disposables.

From Tree-Planting Drones to Shade-Grown Tea: Businesses Are Making Money by Reforesting the Planet
An estimated 15 billion trees are cut down each year—more than 41 million per day. Given this pace of land degradation, it's hard to imagine how traditional reforestation methods, which rely on the hand-planting of live seedlings, could ever keep up. BioCarbon Engineering offers another way—a device, no more than two feet in height, that has the potential to plant 400,000 seeds per day—150 times faster than hand-planting carried out by a human.

Marek Kijewski (ur. 27 maja 1955 w Gdańsku, zm. 19 sierpnia 2007 w Warszawie) – polski artysta rzeźbiarz.

Życiorys
W latach 1975-1979 studiował w Państwowej Wyższej Szkole Sztuk Plastycznych w Gdańsku (obecnie Akademia Sztuk Pięknych w Gdańsku) na kierunku rzeźba. Absolwent Wydziału Rzeźby Akademii Sztuk Pięknych w Warszawie, gdzie studiował w latach 1981-1985, uzyskując dyplom pod kierunkiem prof. Jerzego Jarnuszkiewicza, twórcy Pomnika Małego Powstańca w Warszawie. Wraz z Mirosławem Bałką i Mirosławem Filonikiem współtworzył w latach 1985-1987 jedną z najważniejszych polskich grup artystycznych lat 80. XX wieku – Świadomość Neue Bieriemiennost. W tym okresie tworzył głównie prace figuratywne związane z nurtem tak zwanej Nowej Ekspresji. Od 1987 r. zaczął wykorzystywać w swojej twórczości światło, wprowadził barwy oraz symbolikę często zaczerpniętą z pism teologa prawosławnego Pawła Florenskiego.

W latach 90. XX wieku, tematem przewodnim jego prac stała się kultura masowa. Od 1996 r. współpracował ze swoją partnerką życiową Małgorzatą Malinowską "Kocur". Tworzył w Warszawie. W pracach z tego okresu wykorzystywał skrajnie niepasujące do siebie przedmioty, do najbardziej znanych rzeźb z tego okresu twórczości Kijewskiego należą między innymi: Fred Flintstone z Knossos (praca wykonana z betonu, pianki poliuretanowej, pawich piór, dojrzałych i zielonych jeżyn cukrowych, rogów byka i gumy), Królowa Midas szuka Bugsa (wykonana z klocków lego, betonu, złota i gumy), Jestem w ciąży (wykonana z orzechów włoskich, sklejki i gumy), oraz Portret Johna Cage'a (wykonana z puszek po piwie, marmurowego baranka i gumy). W 1998 r., podczas wystawy Transfer w warszawskiej Królikarni, zaprezentował głośną pracę Portret konny Andy Warhola przedstawiającą słynnego artystę odzianego w tani sweterek z Jarmarku Europa, osadzonego na końskim tułowiu z nogami zebry.

Był uczestnikiem wielu wystaw zbiorowych oraz prezentacji sztuki nurtu niezależnego, jak między innymi Ekspresja lat 80 w Sopocie i Co słychać w Warszawie, gdzie Kijewski zaprezentował kompozycję przestrzenną pod tytułem Rozważania króla Zygmunta III na temat kobiety upadłej na duchu.

Zmarł w wieku 52 lat. Został pochowany 28 sierpnia 2007 r., w kolumbarium cmentarza Powązkowskiego w Warszawie (rząd 29-1).

Worthing councillors and residents 'disgusted' over planning decision
Residents of Durston House, subject of the controversial planning application
John Holden
Councillors and residents were left 'disgusted' as a council planning committee was forced to approve a controversial development.
Developers had applied to add a new top floor to Durston House in Chesterfield Road, Durrington, despite selling the current top floor flats only last year.
Residents who bought them said they were unaware a reinforced roof had already been prepared, suggesting an additional storey was already planned when they were sold as 'top-floor flats'.
A final decision was deferred in May to investigate room stacking – placing similar rooms on top of each other to decrease noise – and the suitability of existing parking spaces which were considered to be below minimum size requirements.
Consultees offered no objections to the revised plans, leaving the Worthing Borough Council committee with no legal grounds to refuse. Johnathan Haynes, 27, bought his top-floor flat in June, 2017, and felt let down by decision-makers.
"I'm absolutely gutted," he said after the meeting.
"The councillors' hands were tied, but the fact the developer is able to put in a plan like that having sold the building is unbelievable. There are a lot of first-time buyers here, who trusted the developers, and we have been let down."
Councillor Jim Deen said the residents were being treated appallingly and noted the developer's failure to attend either of the meetings.
There were no speakers in support of the application and four against.
In lieu of being able to reject the proposal, councillors voted to add conditions to 'mitigate the effects for the residents'.
Working hours were amended to between 9am and 5pm on weekdays, compared to the proposed hours of 8am to 6pm on weekdays and 9am to 1pm on Saturdays. Conditions were also added to include dust suppression measures and more public engagement.
Speaking before the final vote, committee chairman Paul Yallop said: "This application comes down to ethics and morals, but unfortunately that does not come into our list of considerations.
"We are limited to material planning conditions. That the residents will have this done to them – I am disgusted.
"I don't want to have to vote in favour of this but I feel we have got no choice."

Photographer, Author and Podcast-host, Michael Harlan Turkell had his first acid trip at the age of 19 when famed Bostonian Chef Barbara Lynch gave him a cap full of something. He shot it back and recalls having "one of the most profound sensory experiences" of his life up until that point. That spiritual explosion of flavor – sweet, sour, sapid – became his gateway to the world of acidity.
Fast forward 15 years, he found himself in Vienna, Austria on the doorsteps of Erwin Gegenbauer, the maker of that first shot and quite possibly the best vinegar-craftsman in the world. While interacting with Gegenbauer, Michael learned the importance of capturing the purity of an ingredient and why it's crucial in creating a great tasting vinegar.
"The majority of vinegar that I had tasted (up until that first Gegenbauer shot) was the kind that hits you in your chest, makes you cough; you can feel it on your tongue, but you don't actually taste it," says Michael.
Through his lens, we're transported to France, Italy, Austria, Japan and throughout North America to learn about the art and science of vinegar. The photography brings to life the richness of the recipes, the insights from world-renowned chefs including Daniel Boulud, Massimo Bottura and April Bloomfield. The book captures the essence of why good vinegar is necessary for culinary arts while the how-to tutorials give the reader front-row access to making their own vinegar at home with bases, such as honey, apple cider vinegar, rice and wine.
In France, Michael investigated the role of vinegar in relation to food techniques and the application thereof. What he concluded was that it all comes down to the basic balance of acid and fat; both elements prevalent in French food and more specifically, French sauces.
In Italy, Michelin-star Chef Massimo Bottura, who runs the number one restaurant in the world, showed Michael an example of a balsamic vinegar that was unlike any balsamic he had tasted before.
Earlier this month, the ICC's California campus was honored to have author/photographer/ podcast-host, Michael Harlan Turkell, visit the campus. He spent the afternoon educating students, alumni and staff all about the vinegar-making process. He shared stories of his travel experiences meeting the world's best vinegar makers and he brought with him a range of artisanal varieties for us to taste.
At first glance, Michael Harlan Turkell may appear to be just another Brooklynite with a barrel of beer in his backyard. We came to learn, however, that he started working in kitchens as a young kid at the age of 15 in his hometown of Westchester, New York, and dreamed of becoming a full-fledged chef. Interestingly, when he later moved to Boston for college, he ended up dropping out of school to again work in restaurants. It wasn't until he entered the high-end food scene in Boston that his palette was awakened to something new. Today, he is an expert in at-home vinegar making. He was proud to tell us that he even spent two years reverse-engineering one process and figured out the secret to making a great beer vinegar in his Brooklyn backyard!
According to Michael, generally, two kinds of vinegar have found their way to our dinner tables today; either the balsamic poured on salad or the apple-cider vinegar (ACV), touted for its health benefits. He explained that he aims to change that paradigm by broadening our acidic horizons and expanding our palettes to offer a more varied selection of vinegar that brings a harmonious balance of flavor to our everyday meals.
For a perfect summer treat, try a fresh take on the Negroni.
In the pitcher, mix together Campari, vermouth and gin. Add the sliced strawberries and cucumber, let sit for 30 minutes for all the flavors to mingle, then top with ice.
To serve, put a few ice cubes in a rocks glass, pour in 6 ounces (120 to 180 ml) of the Negroni, and float 1 tablespo0n of the balsamic vinegar on top.

Carrara C Extra marble brings light into your home or office. The whitest base of the popular Italian marble provides you with a classic canvas for inspiration.
Carrara C Extra marble brings light into your home or office. The whitest base of the popular Italian marble provides you with a classic canvas for inspiration. This variety of marble offers a resistant marble stone that has become a preferred decoration material in the UK. If you wanted to add drama and personality to your design, Carrara C Extra marble will be perfect.
You can choose dimensions between 2400x1200mm to 3000x1950mm. Similarly, Bianco Carrara C Extra marble slabs will cover minimum areas of 4.5 square meters. You can create big kitchen islands and large bathroom panels. It is all up to the limits of your imagination.
In addition to majestic looks, Carrara C Extra is extremely durable. You can work, prepared foods and study on Carrara marble surfaces. If performance was not enough, this material is affordable and offers value for your investment. Similarly, natural Carrara marble can be used in gardens, patios and balconies. And if you want to embellish interior spaces, it can also be used practically anywhere imaginable.
Marble has been used since ancient times. We have used marble in the construction of many monuments (Taj Mahal in India, Marble Arch in London, etc) and statues (David by Michelangelo). We also use marble for paving and in establishments of kings and emperors. More recently, and with the advance of new technology and quarrying systems, marble has become affordable. Then it has become luxurious reality in residential homes and commercial spaces.

TransForm Toolkit
TransForm Cymru empowers and supports trans young people to access their rights and to provide support to youth-facing organisations to address discrimination and exclusion often experienced by transyoung people.
This toolkit contains information on key points from our consultation with trans young people, guidance for youth work organisations and a selection of resources to use with young people to promote awareness of equality and diversity in your organisation.
[pdf-embedder url="https://youthcymru.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/39880-YC-TransForm-Toolkit-English-Final.pdf"]
TransForm Steering Group
Since the start of the project, the group has created a performance and short film based on their experiences, led trans awareness raising sessions with young people and practitioners and met with the Minister for Communities and Tackling Poverty to inform the Welsh Government Transgender Action Plan. The group has enabled trans young people to meet and socialise with their peers, develop skills and confidence and make a real difference to the lives of others.
"This project has been an incredible experience so far. It was my first opportunity to really get to know other trans identified individuals, all of whom I now consider to be close friends. The project itself has provided us all with the opportunity to voice our concerns and hopes for young trans people in Wales, and has enabled us to develop the skills to bring about change in our communities and beyond. I myself have grown in confidence and done things I never thought I was capable of before."
"Before I joined the group I was very alone and now I can't say that."
"I'm more confident and I've got more friends than I've ever had in my life. I'm now involved in something whereas before I was just sat at home."
TransForm Cymru Charter
The TransForm Charter has been written by young people from the TransForm Steering Group. It has been created in line with the United Nations' Convention on the Rights of the Child and establishes a number of rights belonging to trans young people and their expectations of organisations to ensure that these rights are met.
If your organisation is interested in signing up to the TransForm Cymru Charter, please contact rachel@youthcymru.org.uk
[pdf-embedder url="https://youthcymru.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/40153-YC-TransForm-Charter-Eng.pdf"]
Trans*Form Charter Launch
The Charter was formally launched by Lesley Griffiths, Minister for Communities and Tackling Poverty at an event in Cardiff Bay on 3rd December 2015.
Minister for Communities and Tackling Poverty, Lesley Griffiths, said:
"I want a Wales where every young person is able to enjoy their rights, and where they are supported to reach their full potential. This is why the Charter and the Trans*Form Cymru toolkit are so important, containing helpful guidance and resources to help youth-facing organisations honour the rights of young trans* people. I encourage all organisations to commit to the Charter and do all they can to promote equality and diversity."
Young people from the Steering Group shared the TransForm documentary and spoke about their experiences of education, healthcare and their hopes for the future.

Humanequin
'Humanequin' was a theatrical piece that informed, educated and celebrated the lives of trans* young people in Wales. It combined a film, performance and Q&A that explored real life stories, reflecting upon personal journeys and experiences, the joys, laughter and low points, discrimination and fears that young trans* people in Wales face on a daily basis.
The project was a collaboration between Trans*Form Cymru and Mess Up The Mess.
The piece was created and informed by 23 trans* young people across Wales supported by a team of professional artists including Wales Drama Award 2015 winner Kelly Jones and designer Georgina Miles, film maker Carolina Vasquez and Arts Council Wales Creative Wales Award Winner 2012, Jain Boon.
In July 2015, 8 young people took to the stage and bravely performed and shared their stories. Humanequin was shown in Bridgend College during the Pivotal Conversation Mental Health Conference to youth workers, teachers and other professionals, then toured to Radyr Comprehensive School in Cardiff when it was seen by 120 Year 10 pupils. In an event supported by Wales Millennium Centre, Humanequin was seen by a further 125 people and was covered by BBC Radio Wales and Newyddion 9 BBC Cymru: http://www.bbc.co.uk/cymrufyw/33578010
The project received an amazing response from young people and professionals, with many pledging changes they would make within their workplace or personal life as a result of seeing the performance.
The film is available on YouTube here.
In November 2015, we hosted a conference to share learning from TransForm Cymru. The day included keynote speeches from Fox Fisher and Lewis Hancox (co-founders of My Genderation films) and Sally Holland, Children's Commissioner for Wales. Delegates also had the opportunity to attend a range of workshops facilitated by the Gender Identity Research and Education Society (GIRES), Mermaids, The Diversity Trust, Umbrella Gwent and Viva LGBT.
The conferenced closed with a performance of Humanequin and Q&A with members of the TransForm Steering Group. Humanequin, created in partnership with Mess Up the Mess, explores the everyday experiences of trans* young people and their hopes for the future.
"Thank you for inviting us to take part in what was a really excellent and very well organised event. I really appreciate all your work on this project, you have done some really brilliant work and the voices of the young people involved are showing that very clearly"
"I just wanted to thank you for hosting Trans*Form Cymru conference yesterday. I learnt so much from the workshops, speakers and the young people who really put their message across so well. I hope that this will become an annual event"
"A big thank you to everyone involved for their inspiration, courage and enthusiasm. Congratulations on a wonderful awareness / training day"

Tips on how to be a trans ally – written by the Trans*Form Group
Respect people's pronouns!
If someone tells you their pronouns, use them, even if you knew them before they changed their pronouns! If you mess up someone's pronouns, correct yourself and continue the conversation. Don't make a big deal out of it as this can be embarrassing and make the individual uncomfortable. The same applies to names.
Don't ask invasive questions!
Questions like 'what gender were you born as?' 'have you had surgery?' 'are you on hormones?' 'what genitals do you have?' are all questions you shouldn't ask a trans individual. Another question to avoid is 'what is your birth name?' Although you may be curious as to what someone's name was before they changed it, do not ask them.
Don't out anyone!
If someone has told you in confidence that they are trans, but are not ready to come out publicly or to certain people, make sure you do not tell anyone. They will come out in their own time when they feel ready to do so. This may mean misgendering them or calling them a different name in front of certain people, make sure to ask when and where it is appropriate to use certain names or pronouns.
Don't assume!
If you're not sure what pronouns to use for someone, just ask. They would much rather you ask than just assume (and possibly end up using the wrong ones). If you're not comfortable with outright asking, maybe introduce yourself by saying your name and pronouns and then asking theirs in return, or even just listen to what pronouns other people use for that person, and then once you're sure, use them.
Gender does not equal sexual orientation!
Don't assume a trans person's sexual orientation. Trans people can have many different sexualities, just the same as cisgender people can.
Be patient and supportive!
Many people spend time exploring or unsure of their gender identity, whilst they are still figuring things out. They may change name and pronouns multiple times, this is perfectly okay, not everyone knows right away. Make sure to always use the name and pronouns that fit them at the time, and don't get irritated if they do change their name and pronouns a lot.
Always ask!
If you know someone who's gender changes regularly, for example, one day they are male, and the next they are non-binary, and another they're female, make sure to ask them what pronouns to use for them that day so that you don't offend or misgender them.
Stand up for us!
If you hear someone using transphobic language or slurs, call them out, explain to them why what they have said is wrong, and tell them the correct term or way of saying something. This also goes for misgendering, if someone you know is being misgendered, correct the person who is doing so. Some trans people struggle to correct people themselves, so they will probably appreciate the help and support, this also shows them that you respect their identity.
Make pronouns a 'normal' thing to ask someone!
At the beginning of meetings or other events where everyone may not know each other, suggest starting the session with everyone introducing themselves and stating their name and pronouns, that way everyone in that space knows how to refer to one another.
Respect privacy!
Make sure that the trans people you know are aware that they can talk to you in confidence, although there are many things you shouldn't ask, some trans individuals may want to talk to someone about these things, make sure you're always there to listen, and make sure the conversation stays between the two of you.
