Can a poor diet delay pregnancy?
According to a new reaseach from University of Adelaide, which has been published in the Journal of Human Reproduction "Women who shun fruit or eat lots of fast food take longer to get pregnant and are less likely to conceive within a year".
"These findings show that eating a good quality diet that includes fruits and minimising fast food consumption improves fertility and reduces the time it takes to get pregnant," said lead researcher Claire Robers, a professor at the University of Adelaide in Australia.
"We recommend that women who want to become pregnant should align their dietary intakes toward national dietary recommendations for pregnancy," said lead author Jessica Grieger, a researchers at the University of Adelaide.

What is VSS?
Variable Stars South is a loose association of astronomers, mainly amateur, interested in researching the rich and under-explored myriad of southern variable stars.
Renamed in 2009 from the Variable Star Section of the Royal Astronomical Society of New Zealand, it was founded in 1927 by the late Dr Frank Bateson, OBE, and became the recognised centre for Southern Hemisphere variable star research. See Who's Who in the VSS.
VSS covers many areas and techniques of variable star research. These are organised in technique areas such as DSLR work, and into project research groups carrying our research projects such as BL Tel, Beginners' Visual Observations and Dual-Maxima Miras. The goal of each project is to obtain scientifically useful data and results. These may be published in recognised journals, supplied to international specialist data collection organisations or published on our website. Two examples of our publications are the Newsletter, and the Southern Eclipsing Binary Database.
VSS is entirely an Internet based organisation, working through its website www.VariableStarsSouth.org and its Google Group VariableStarsSouth.
VSS also encourages people to work in with major international organisations such as the Center for Backyard Astrophysics and the American Association for Variable Star Observers.

Q: How do I animate a text so that it does not rotate while using the SVG's textpath? What I am trying to achieve using the SVG's textpath is the text to not rotate while it follows its animation path; so it stays horizontal while being animated, like this:

Thing is that the text rotates to its current path angle while being animated by default, making the text to look like this:

How can I achieve to animate a text by using the SVG's textpath while keeping the text horizontal?.
Edit: As requested here is the code I used for the horizontal text; which I can not actually achieve to animate:
<svg>
<path id="MyPath" d="M 100 200
          C 200 100 300   0 400 100
          C 500 200 600 300 700 200
          C 800 100 900 100 900 100"/>

<use id="curve" xlink:href="#MyPath" fill="none" stroke="red"  />

<text id="origText" fill="white">
    <textpath xlink:href="#MyPath" >
  OH NOES!, DANCING TEXT ARRIVED!

        <animate attributeName="startOffset" from="100%" to ="-100%"
             begin="0s" dur="10s" repeatCount="indefinite" keyTimes="0;1"
             calcMode="spline" keySplines="0 0 1 1"/>
    </textpath>
</text>
</svg>

var t = document.getElementById('origText');
var t_text = t.textContent; // "We go up...."
var curve = document.getElementById("MyPath");
var len = curve.getTotalLength(); // curve length

var steps = len/t_text.length; // get width of step
var start_pt = 0; // start at beginning
var prev_pt = curve.getPointAtLength(0); // measure first step

t.textContent = ""; // clear up original text;

for (var i = 0; i < t_text.length; ++i) { // char loop
    var new_pt = curve.getPointAtLength(start_pt); // measure pt
    var ts = genTspan(t_text[i], prev_pt, new_pt); // tspan
    t.appendChild(ts); // add to <text>

    start_pt += steps; // go to next step (point)
    prev_pt = new_pt; // remember previous point
    }

function genTspan(myChar,prev_pt,new_pt) {
    var tspan = document.createElementNS("http://www.w3.org/2000/svg", "tspan");
    tspan.setAttributeNS(null, 'dy', new_pt.y - prev_pt.y);
    tspan.textContent = myChar;
 return tspan;
 }

The source where I got this code was from this thread; horizontal text on path , which actually did help to me achieving to keep the text horizontal on a path, but rather not when trying to animate it using the SVG's textpath; when trying so the text displayed stays at the x="0" y="0" without moving.
Not the same way with the one that rotate its angle while moving though its path; that one actually animates as expected, here is its code too:
<svg>
    <path id="myPath2" fill="none" stroke="#FFFFFF" stroke-miterlimit="10"
    d="M91.4,344.2c3.2-3.4,18.4-0.6,23.4-0.6c5.7,0.1,10.8,0.9,16.3,2.3

c1.9-2.1,3.7-5.5,6.5-6.5"/>
<text fill="red">
    <textpath xlink:href="#myPath2" >
    PUMCHY PUMCHY PUMCHY PUMCHY!
    <animate attributeName="startOffset" from="100%" to ="-100%" begin="0s"
    dur="10s" repeatCount="indefinite" keyTimes="0;1" calcMode="spline" keySplines="0 0 1 1"/>
    </textpath>
</text>
</svg>

A: There is no way to keep characters vertical with a <textPath>. But you can do it if you use a motion path (ie <animateMotion>).
However it's a bit of a pain because you have to animate each character individually.

<svg width="500px" height="500px">

    <path id="myPath2" fill="none" stroke="lightgrey" stroke-miterlimit="10"
    d="M91.4,344.2c3.2-3.4,18.4-0.6,23.4-0.6c5.7,0.1,10.8,0.9,16.3,2.3

Q: Application using socket freezes when it tries to connect to server I am doing application which send some data from mobile phone to PC. Im using socket to do it. When the server is online it works, but when I try to connect with wrong ip/port or server is not running then application freezes and I cant do nothing. It because client on mobile phone tries to connect to server.
I have main class in which I make:
Thread cThread = new Thread( new TCPClient( ip, port, message, context) );
cThread.start();

There is context in new TCPClient because i need to make Toast when message is sent or when error appears. In TCPClient class there is:
public void run(){
try {
InetAddress serverAddr = InetAddress.getByName(s_ip);
Log.d("TCP", "C: Connecting...");
Socket socket = new Socket(serverAddr, s_port);

When server is online it goes to:
Log.d("TCP", "C: Sending: '" + s_msg + "'");
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter( new BufferedWriter( new OutputStreamWriter(socket.getOutputStream())),true);
out.println(s_msg);
Log.d("TCP", "C: Sent.");
Log.d("TCP", "C: Done.");

but when the server is offline or I put wrong ip/port my application freezes. I cant do nothing for a while.
Is there any solution to force stop trying connect to server after some time? For example after 5 second application will go to catch and give me error.
I tried to do this with AsyncTask, then application is working even when Client tries to connect to server, but toast with error appears after not acceptable time for me, so I would like a solution which will give me error when client cannot connect with server in for example 5 seconds.

A: You can set the connection timeout. You have to use different constructor of Socket class. Insead of:
Socket socket = new Socket(serverAddr, s_port);

use:
Socket socket = new Socket();
socket.connect(new InetSocketAddress(serverAddr, s_port), 5000);

In case of timeout an exception is thrown.

A: Perhaps you didn't set a timeout connection so it's "0" by default which means that it will never timeout , so you can set the timeout to 1 minute it won't freeze  for more than one minute .

Nation's 1st Somali-American Lawmaker Eyes Seat In Congress
State Rep. Ilhan Omar, the first Somali-American elected to a state legislature, files to run for the 5th district congressional seat that U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison is vacating to run for Minnesota attorney general, at the Minnesota Secretary of State's office in St. Paul, Minn., Tuesday, June 5, 2018. (Lacey Young/Minnesota Public Radio via AP)
ST. PAUL, MINN. (AP) — Ilhan Omar escaped her war-torn homeland of Somalia as a child and grew up in a Kenyan refugee camp before immigrating to the United States as a preteen. She learned English by watching American television.
Years later, she became the nation's first and only Somali-American lawmaker when she won a seat in the Minnesota House. Now she's aiming for another spot in history: the first Somali-American member of Congress.
When Rep. Keith Ellison launched a late bid Tuesday to become the state's attorney general, Omar rushed into a crowded field of eight Democrats seeking to replace him. Her competitors include a former state House speaker and two state senators as well as Ellison's ex-wife, Kim Ellison.
A win for Omar would further elevate a rising star in Minnesota politics who has positioned herself as a "counter-narrative" to President Donald Trump and his efforts to clamp down on immigration. "I know what it feels like to be a young family looking for opportunity in the United States," the 35-year-old said moments after registering to run. "I am excited to go and be a voice for the voiceless at the Capitol."
Omar's family fled Somalia when she was just 8, as civil war tore apart the country. They spent four years in a Mombasa, Kenya, camp with tens of thousands of other refugees. At age 12, the family was sponsored to move to the United States, eventually settling in Minnesota.
That story is familiar in Minnesota, which is home to the largest population of Somalis outside Somalia, as well as a neighborhood dubbed "Little Mogadishu." In her campaign for the state Legislature, Omar harnessed her community's growing political power as well as the city's younger and more liberal voting base to make history.
She was not available for an interview Wednesday, and she said Tuesday that she could not answer reporters' questions because she needed to start campaigning. Her brief tenure in the state Legislature has been dotted with national exposure: She had a run-in with a Washington, D.C., taxi driver who she said called her "ISIS." She also appeared on cable TV talk shows and recently made a cameo appearance alongside celebrities in a Maroon 5 video for a song called "Girls Like You."
Stuck in the minority in a chamber controlled by Republicans, Omar's legislative portfolio is relatively thin. She repeatedly sought money to help combat a 2017 measles outbreak that wracked the Somali community. She also worked to renovate a popular community center in her district.
Supporters said she's found other ways to connect — not just with fellow Somalis, but also the college students and other long-term Minneapolis residents she represents. Mohamud Noor, a fellow Somali-American who lost a primary to Omar in 2016 and is now running for her legislative seat, credited her outreach on immigration issues and regular "coffee and kulan" sessions. (Kulan is the Somali word for meeting).
"People are proud of her. Because of her accomplishment, because of her commitment to the public service. She is seen as somebody, especially, people see a role model for young children, their daughters," Noor said. "I think she will be a good fighter against the Trump administration's immigration issues in general."
Entering the primary is also a gamble. If she loses, she cannot run for her legislative seat again until 2020. Somali-American Kavy Botan, who lives in Minneapolis, supported Omar's candidacy, saying she could fight against the administration's travel ban and be an example of Somalis for the American people. He wondered if she would be allowed on the House floor in her hijab or if Trump would give her a derisive nickname such as the one he uses to refer to Sen. Elizabeth Warren, "Pocahontas."
Omar's bid is far from a sure thing. Margaret Anderson Kelliher, a two-term Democratic House speaker and 2010 candidate for governor, could generate enormous support in a district that's much larger, with more politically moderate suburbs, than Omar's. State Sens. Bobby Joe Champion and Patricia Torres Ray have both been in the Legislature for far longer and represent much larger swaths of Minneapolis.
In 2006, Ellison was the first Muslim elected to Congress. His seat is safe territory for Democrats, which makes an Aug. 14 primary the de facto election to replace him. The six-term congressman regularly cruised to re-election by 45 percentage points or more.

Desperately fought on the morning of October 25, 1944, the Battle of Samar is one of the most celebrated engagements in United States naval lore. Facing overwhelming firepower, with no prospect of reinforcement, thirteen American warships began a fight they couldn't win- and fought it to the death. Weaving declassified documents, and rare Japanese sources, James D. Hornfischer has created an unprecedented account of a naval engagement unlike any other in American history. A resonant portrait of the Navy man's indomitable spirit and a stiring tale of heroism in the face of hopeless odds, The Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors unforgettably captures the men, the strategies, and the sacrifices that turned certain defeat into a legendary victory.

'Technicolour dreams are all I see, technicolour dreams of you and me…' Could that lyric come from any year other than 1968? It's a film already playing inside your mind, the wistful long-haired teen-girl in Bridget Riley Op-Art dress slipping through a false-colour trip-treated enchanted forest. And that's just one title from this lost trove of what the liner-notes accurately define as 'bubblegum psychedelia'. Not the hard-edged manic 'Nuggets'-style USA acid-garage-punk (apart from their early shot at the Blues Magoos' "We Ain't Got Nothin' Yet"), more the kaleidoscopic whimsy of its UK 'sunny cellophane skies' variant. It's only the name beneath the song-titles, and the subsequent riffing twelve-bar Quo notoriety that tends to devalue the historic integrity of this stuff.
In fact Rick Parfitt himself admits that this is Quo 'before they'd invented themselves.' A group who stumbled into the charts by happy accident with "Pictures Of Matchstick Men", and spent the next couple of years trying to replicate its success – most obviously with "Black Veils Of Melancholy" which randomises the guitar-hook only slightly and shifts the phase-control along a bar or two. And of course, they're not all stone-gems, although some are – "Ice In The Sun", "When My Mind Is Not Live", or "Make Me Stay A Little Bit Longer". Then there are contract-fillers when inspiration fails, covers of the Lemon Pipers' "Green Tambourine", Tommy Roe's "Shelia", or the Bee-Gees' "Spicks And Specks" (twice, the second one abruptly curtailed by a voice cutting in 'alright, come on').
This triple-set opens with that first 'Picturesque Matchstikable Messages' (1968) album plus all the a-&-b sides made under their earlier incarnations as The Spectres (a ridiculously over-the-top "I, Who Have Nothing"), and Traffic Jam ("Almost But Not Quite There"). They then spend the other two CD's evolving towards their next career-phase, with the contents of three more complete vinyl albums, plus some lost archive rarities from the 1981 and '98 vaults. Ain't CD wonderful? Through the prettified, more self-consciously orchestrated harmonies – and less fun, of 'Spare Parts' (Sept 1969), developing their song-writing skills with Rossi, Parfitt, roadie Bob Young, and frequently overlooked bassist Alan Lancaster all strongly contributing. Until their own "In My Chair" rightfully returns them to the charts. Nudging them into the more Blues-Heavy 'Ma Kelly's Greasy Spoon' (Sept 1970) with "Spinning Wheel" already recognisably 'Quo', plus the entendre-strewn "Lazy Poker Blues", and "Is It Really Me" extending to a full 9:30min jam. Then 'Dog With Two Heads' (Dec 1971) with the downright weird "Gerundula", and chart-hit "Mean Girl". But me?, I'm flipping back to album one for 'I see your shadow slipping through a silver glade, tip-toeing over crimson sands, moving me onwards into a sea of jade, leading me gently by the hand…' Dayglo psychedelia at its most bubblegum trip-tastic.
If Status Quo had terminally totalled their Transit van into a motorway support bridge in the late-sixties, or if they'd deep-fried their brains to iconic LSD vegetables like Syd Barrett, or Brian Wilson, then chances are their cult-credibility would now be critically unassailable, with "Pictures Of Matchstick Men" up there with the Smallfaces' "Tin Soldier", Pink Floyd's "Point Me At The Sky", or Smoke's "My Friend Jack" as quintessentially pristine examples of Freak-Beat. Then again, had their 747 fallen out of the sky in the mid-seventies they'd be remembered as monolithic metal monsters, the London variant of martyred Lynyrd Skynyrd perhaps, by those metal-heads who get dewy-eyed with nostalgia for far lesser entities such as Saxon or Uriah Heep. John Peel was an early champion, Bob Harris on 'Old Grey Whistle Test' too. Trouble is, they are the band who never forgot how many bars make twelve. Everyone knows what a Quo record sounds like, those paralytic licks that go chinga-chinga-chinga at mind-numbing repetitions. No other group is so readily identified by so instantly recognisable a sound. It's also universally adaptable and can be grafted onto just about any song you care to think of – as they prove through personalising a series of oldsters such as "The Wild Side Of Life", "The Wanderer" – and that old John Fogerty track "Rockin' All Over The World". Not that all Quo hits necessarily conform to blueprint. 'Cos they don't. Think "Marguerita Time", "Living On An Island", or "In The Army Now". But then again, enough of them do to give substance to the image. Sure, maybe their career's long since gone beyond its commercial or credibility peak. Too bad. No defiant apologies required. Quo were hip, for a while, something we may need to remind ourselves of every now and then.

Biografia

Era figlio di Tommaso Paleologo a sua volta fratello di Costantino XI Paleologo, l'ultimo imperatore bizantino di Costantinopoli.

Dopo la conquista di Costantinopoli (il sovrano Costantino XI morì nel tentativo di difendere la città) ad opera delle forze del sultano Mehmet II (29 maggio 1453), Andrea continuò a vivere a Mistra, capitale del Despotato della Morea governato dal padre Tommaso Paleologo, fratello più giovane di Constantino XI.

Tommaso rimase al potere fino al 1460, data in cui gli ottomani conquistarono la provincia e Andrea, con ciò che era rimasto della famiglia imperiale, fu costretto a fuggire in Italia. In previsione della loro fuga in Italia, Tommaso e tutti i suoi figli si convertitono al credo cattolico. Quando Tommaso morì nel 1465, Andrea rimase in Italia sotto la protezione del papa Paolo II. Egli viveva a Roma con il titolo onorario di imperatore di Costantinopoli, sposò una prostituta romana di nome Caterina.

Tradizionalmente si ritiene che Andrea disponesse di un ingente quantità di ricchezze (derivanti in gran parte da sussidi concessi dal pontefice Paolo II), che dilapidò rapidamente riducendosi in miseria. Tuttavia, alcuni storici moderni ritengono che in realtà egli, pur avendo preteso di vivere in modo conforme ai fasti della ormai decaduta corte imperiale bizantina, disponesse di finanze limitate sin dal suo arrivo nella penisola italica. Sappiamo che Andrea Paleologo, fu sotto la protezione anche di papa Sisto IV (1471-1484), il papa lo manteneva a sue spese a Roma, insieme a un altro personaggio d'oriente che aveva perso i suoi averi per mano degli ottomani, Leonardo III Tocco, che era despota d'Epiro, ma anch'egli aveva perso il suo stato, essi ebbero modo di conoscersi, in altri tempi più fortunati per entrambi sarebbero stati nemici, ma ora nessuno dei due aveva più uno stato in mano.

Ambendo a vivere una vita degna del suo rango e conscio delle sue precarie condizioni economiche, Andrea tentò di vendere (più volte) i diritti al trono di Costantinopoli che aveva ereditato alla morte del padre Tommaso. Numerosi re e principi poterono dunque fregiarsi del titolo onorario di imperatore romano. Tra questi, Carlo VIII di Francia inizialmente acconsentì a comprare tali diritti (nel 1494), ma morì il 7 aprile del 1498. Per scampare alla povertà, Andrea vendette i propri diritti ereditari al Sultano ottomano Bayezid II in cambio di poter risiedere alla corte del sovrano con la propria famiglia (tra cui il fratello minore Manuele Paleologo) come ospiti onorari vita natural durante. Infatti, il successore del sultano ebbe alla propria corte i figli di Manuele, Andrea e Giovanni, che si convertirono all'Islam (tuttavia altri membri della famiglia di Manuele furono ridotti in schiavitù dopo la sua morte).

Andrea morì a Roma nel 1502 e fu sepolto molto modestamente nella basilica di San Pietro: la sua tomba è andata perduta nella ristrutturazione di essa verso la metà del XVI secolo. Secondo il suo volere i suoi eredi furono Ferdinando II di Aragona e Isabella di Castiglia.
Sulla discendenza di Andrea, è aperto un dibattito: alcuni storici gli attribuiscono la paternità di un Costantino, che fu comandante delle guardie pontificie, e di una figlia la cui mano fu chiesta da Giacomo II di Cipro ma che non poté sposarsi per l'opposizione di Papa Pio II e che forse è quella stessa Maria di cui parla Donald M. Nicol nel suo libro L'Imperatore Immortale e che poi si sarebbe sposata con un nobile russo; altri asseriscono che Andrea non ebbe discendenti e che quindi con lui si sia spenta la linea principale dei Paleologi, l'unica che potesse legittimamente rivendicare per sé il titolo imperiale romano orientale.

Nell'arte
Si sa che Gentile Bellini, fece un ritratto ad Andrea Paleologo, ma che purtroppo è andato perduto, mentre ve n'è uno ancora conservato, nell'appartamento Borgia, di Pinturicchio.

New Autism Research Outlines Gender Differences in Social Interactions
By Christina Samuels on May 15, 2015 4:49 PM
Boys and girls with autism spectrum disorder may share difficulties in communicating, but how those problems manifest themselves differs between the sexes—an important element for educators to remember, according to new research examining children with autism and their peer interactions.
For example, because boys tend to play more structured games, it's easier to spot when a boy with autism is being excluded. Socialization among girls tends to be more fluid, so a girl with autism may appear to be fitting in with her peer group—but a closer look might reveal less-obvious rejection.
The research also shows that in general education classrooms, girls remain more connected to peers when they are in larger classrooms—21 students or more. Boys tended to have better social connections when they were in classrooms of 20 students or fewer. Researchers hypothesize that boys might do better with more individualized attention, while girls may thrive if they have more friendship options.
These studies about children with autism were presented Friday in Salt Lake City at the International Meeting for Autism Research, which draws reseachers from around the world. The research into social behaviors was gathered from children who are part of the seven-site Autism Intervention Research Network on Behavioral Health. This network, also known as AIR-B, is studying children with autism and their typically developing peers, with a focus on children from underserved and minority communities. It is supported by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Resources, through its health resources and services administration.
The database is unique for not only having a large number of children with autism to track, but a large number of girls, said Connie Kasari, a professor of psychological studies in education and psychiatry at the University of California, Los Angeles. UCLA serves as the coordinating site for the research network.
Research Often Male-Focused
Autism research has often focused on boys, who are five times more likely than girls to be diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. So the research offers insights that educators might not otherwise have, Kasari said .For example, social groups among girls often focus on intimate talk, which may be uniquely challenging to master for a girl with a disorder whose defining feature is communication challenges. Girls with autism may be rejected by their peer groups, "but they persist in the face of rejection. They're reapproaching, and they're being rejected again." It's important for educators to note those subtle issues, she said.
Michelle Dean, the lead author of the playground study and an assistant professor of special education at California State University-Channel Islands, said an important takeaway for educators from all this research is that "it's easy to focus on autism first. But girls [with autism] are still little girls, and boys [with autism] are still little boys."
Dean also recommends that educators offer explicit social interaction lessons to typically developing classmates of students with autism. The same behaviors that young girls use to reject a classmate with autism—an eyeroll, a glance to one side—are also techniques they use to reject each other. Teaching everyone social skills can help an entire classroom, without singling out a child who has a disability.
"Students, with a little more information, will understand that there's someone different from them" and how to best communicate with that person, Dean said.

This is a foreword for the 2013 Japanese edition of the book 45 by Bill Drummond.
Photo: Tracey Moberly
Today is my 60th birthday. The first day of my old age.
Yesterday I spent 17 hours standing on a manhole cover at the bottom of Mathew Street in Liverpool. From 7am through to midnight (piss breaks excluded). The reason that I gave for standing on this manhole cover was to spend the time contemplating what it would be like to wake up the following morning and all music had disappeared. This being the essence of the first score published for a choir known as The17. For the past ten years I have been leading this choir called The17. That said, this choir may have existed in my imagination in some form or other since my teenage years, but it was in 2003 they started to become a reality and I wrote the following text:
All recorded music has run its course.
It has all been consumed, traded, downloaded,
understood, heard before, sampled, learned,
revived, judged and found wanting.
Dispense with all previous forms of music and
music-making and start again.
Year zero now
The17 is a choir
Their music has no history, follows no traditions,
recognises no contemporaries.
The17 has many voices.
They use no libretto, lyrics or words; no time
signatures, rhythm or beats; and have no knowledge
of melody, counterpoint or harmony.
The17 struggle with the dark
And respond to the light
The first half of the above text was very much written in response to the dawning century where the entire history of recorded music could be held on an iPod in your pocket and listened to anywhere at anytime while you did almost anything. To me this was both very liberating and scary. All the rules were changing.
I like it when the rules change.
It was not until early 2006 that The17 were a full and functioning choir. In between then and now, The17 have performed hundreds, if not thousands of times. Performances in both hemispheres and on each of the five continents. But there were stipulations: first The17 were never recorded for posterity, thus you could never buy a CD or download of The17, secondly The17 never performed concerts for members of the public. To hear The17 you had to be in The17. This may sound elitist, but the way it worked was that The17 was always made up of different people from wherever The17 were performing. The other thing is that The17 did not require you to have had any previous experience of singing in a choir, or any other type of singing. This meant that I could just walk into a market in Beijing and enlist a bunch of unsuspecting market stallholders and the performance would happen there and then.
For me, The17 celebrated time, place and occasion. Between 2003 and last night, hundreds of scores had been written to be performed by The17. The vast majority of them not by me, but written by various members of The17 around the world. These scores did not use musical notation, they were written using text. I wanted to keep them as clear and as simple as possible, in the hope that near enough anyone who could read them could then lead a performance by The17. Thus it didn't need me.
A number of the scores could be performed solo and these ones more than often required the performer to not make a sound with their mouths but to listen to other sounds that already existed.
Even if the sounds they were listening to were only in their head.
Back in 2003, I had done a deal with myself. I would not go public with The17 until I turned 60. My thinking being: people who have ever had any success within popular music (which I guess includes me) should never think their success gives them the right to do other art forms. The history of pop being littered with examples of highly regarded musicians who then go and embarrass themselves and compromise their achievements by attempting to mount exhibitions, publish novels, compose concertos, or even save the world.
I did not want to be one of those.
So by waiting until I was 60 before going public with The17, I hoped people would have forgotten I had ever been involved with popular music, thus it would not matter. Or, by the time I had turned 60, I would have grown bored of the idea of turning my fantasy choir into a reality.
The flesh may be weak, but my resolve is even weaker.
In 2004 I compromised and renegotiated the deal that I had done with myself. I would allow The17 to go public, but I had to stop doing it on the eve of my 60th birthday – as in midnight, last night. Of course, The17 could carry on without me. I mean you can go out tomorrow and lead a performance by The17 wherever you choose.
But what has me going on about The17 got to do with this book 45, that these words are supposed to be a foreword for? As yet I am not too sure. But seeing as the book 45 was written around me being the age of 45 and somehow acted as a way of taking stock of my creative life at the time, I guess what I was doing for 17 hours yesterday was also me attempting to take stock of things. There is also another reason: the manhole cover in question features in the book 45. More to the point, it features in the story From the Shores of Lake Placid that is contained in the book.
Before starting to write this foreword, I maybe should have re-read 45 completely. I haven't. The most I have done is re-read the story From the Shores of Lake Placid. For me that was always the core of the book. It was the one story that I knew I had to write to get any idea of what it is I had been doing over the previous twenty-odd years. On re-reading it this morning, other than the odd embarrassing adjective, there is very little I would change. It all still rings true, it is all how I remembered it to be.
The one thing that has changed since then is the idea of the manhole cover in my imagination. For me, I now see the manhole cover to very much symbolise the gateway between the known, out-there physical world and the unknown, internal, imagined world.
Spending 17 hours standing on this particular manhole cover was not really about trying to imagine waking up tomorrow to find that all music had disappeared, but to somehow to make contact with the hidden forces that we all have within us.
But there is one paragraph that I would like to quote in this foreword. It is what I made up on the spur of the moment to a question asked by a journalist back in 1981. He wanted to know why I thought so much music and creativity came out of Liverpool. Instead of giving the usual type of answer about "dole queues, sea port to the world and the Celtic soul of the city," I said:
It is the interstellar ley line. It comes careering in from outer space, hits the world in Iceland, bounces back up, writhing about like a conger eel, then down Mathew Street in Liverpool where the Cavern Club – and latterly Eric's – is. Back up, twisting, turning, wriggling across the face of the earth until it reaches the uncharted mountains of New Guinea, where it shoots back into space. Deep space. You know what ley lines are? Those things that hippies are into, imaginary power lines across ancient Britain, lines that can be traced by Saxon churches, stone circles, burial mounds that sort of stuff. But just boringly straight and static. Well, this interstellar ley line is a mega-powered one. Too much power coming down it for it not to writhe about. The only three fixed points on earth it travels through are Iceland, Mathew Street in Liverpool and New Guinea. Wherever something creatively or spiritually mega happens anywhere else on earth, it is because this interstellar ley line is momentarily powering through the territory.
And this manhole cover is the very fulcrum of this interstellar ley line.
I am not going to write about all of the things that I thought while standing on the manhole cover, that is something that I hope to write about in my second book about The17 that may be called FORTY.
But there are two things that I would like to say now. The first being that a man came up to me sometime halfway through the day, he handed me a CD. Being handed CDs comes with the job; as I have nothing to play CDs on at home, they hardly ever get listened to. But there was something about the intensity of this man's eyes that got to me. He introduced himself as Ian Prowse and explained that there was a track on the CD called Does This Train Stop On Merseyside? In fact it was the title track. He explained to me that one of the couplets in the song was something inspired by something that I had written in the book 45.
The couplet in question was:
Now there's a ley line runs down Mathew Street
It's giving energy to all it meets
He also told me the song had been covered by Christy Moore. Now it is honour enough to have something you have written inspire a songwriter, but to then have that song covered by Christy Moore, who has been one of the great uncompromising singers of the last 40 years, is a major accolade in my head.
The exchange between Ian Prowse and myself maybe lasted no more than 30 seconds, but I did learn that he had been the singer in Pele and subsequently Amsterdam, both Liverpool bands of note. But the truth is I do not think I had previously heard the music of either band or had any idea of what they may have sounded like. Over the past half hour I have been on You Tube listening to various versions of this song, both as sung by Ian Prowse and Christy Moore. It has moved me to the point of almost having to hold back a stray tear. Ian Prowse is definitely a songwriter I should've known more about.
It is a strange feeling to discover something that you had written in a book fifteen years earlier, based on a story that you had made up without much thought 15 years earlier, taking on a life of its own, where the ley line in question almost becomes a lived reality. Something from below the manhole cover enters the physical world.
The second thing I wanted to tell you is, later in the day, my colleague John Hirst turns up. He said: "I thought you were going to have a manhole cover made especially to replace this one. What happened to that idea?"
I said. "Originally the manhole cover had been round. But at some point the round one has been replaced by this square one. As far as I am concerned, manhole covers should be round. Any time you see someone disappearing down or appearing from a manhole cover in a film, it is always from a round one. There is no way I was going to make a square one. Anyway, holes have to be round, especially ones into the ground that lead to the underworld, everyone knows that. Ask the White Rabbit." John Hirst sort of accepted my point and the conversation moved on.
Mathew Street, 1980. Photo from the collection of RF Lewis 495.
After listening to various versions of Does This Train Stop On Merseyside? on You Tube, my vanity got the better of me. I wanted to see if there was coverage of what I had been doing the previous day out on the blogosphere. In doing so I came across a photograph taken looking up Mathew Street circa 1980. It was all very much as I remembered it then – the tatty posters on the walls, the Liverpool School of Language, Music, Dream & Pun to the left, the car park where the original Cavern once was. But more importantly, I could just make out the manhole cover, as it was back then, the one that I would have stood on originally. But it is not round, was never round, or at least never round in my time? But my memory very clearly remembers it as a round manhole cover. This begs the question, what else might you read in 45 that might not bear up to this sort of scrutiny?
As the clock was crawling towards midnight and my 17 hours standing on the manhole were nearly done, I could feel one last SCORE, to be written and performed by The17, coming on. It was a very simple one, just one line of text. A score you could perform right now before reading any further. This is it:
PUT YOUR EAR TO THE GROUND AND LISTEN
I did it there and then. What I heard from below that manhole cover might take the rest of my life to interpret. It was within a very few feet of this manhole cover that many of the incidents and conversations that have shaped my life happened. When Ian Prowse sings about a ley line running down Mathew Street, giving energy to all it meets, he sings the truth.
A couple of minutes ago, just after I had been writing about the train not stopping on Merseyside, I took a break to put the kettle on and see if the postman had arrived with some birthday cards for me. On sitting back down at my computer I went to the www.the17.org to see how many SCORES I had written for The17 over the years. This last one, the put-your-ear-to-the-ground one, turned out to be the 60th.
Now, as Shannon would say, Let The Music Play.

Let us introduce you to "DIEGO", the emergency ventilator produced in collaboration with Scm Group
The role of industry is to support and develop state-of-the-art technological projects, not just for business purposes but above all for the common good. This is why we decided to collaborate on the "DIEGO" project, the first ever emergency ventilator that is simple and innovative, and provides forced ventilation to patients with critical breathing difficulties. Devised in answer to the Covid-19 health crisis, it was the brainchild of the IIT - Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia in Genoa and the University of Ferrara, which turned to Scm Group for help in simplifying it, industrialising it and producing a pre-series of the 2.0 prototype. The 100% Made in Italy device has already been tested on patients and the Health Ministry has been informed. It is reliable, reasonably priced and can be used even in developing countries with difficulty accessing advanced medical equipment. It operates using a simple Ambu type breathing balloon. It is inherently safe because, unlike similar projects currently being tested, the force intervening on the balloon is the force of gravity and depends on the mass positioned on the lever that compresses the balloon. The idea behind it is that the electric motor operating DIEGO does not compress the balloon but periodically lifts the weight of the balloon and then releases it with each breath.
DIEGO is the brainchild of Luciano Fadiga, full professor of Physiology at Ferrara University and director of the Centro di Neurofisiologia traslazionale at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT), Giulio Sandini, full professor of Bio-engineering in Genoa and Founding Director of IIT, and Diego Torazza, design engineer at IIT.
Research is on-going into how to manufacture this new ventilator to distribute it without profit to hospitals interested in acquiring it.

SCM has always had a strong commitment to the industry in its DNA and is organized in three major production centers in Italy. Industrial processes are organized according to the most advanced principles of lean management and operational excellence... read more
