When I first started pottering with recipes and read about brinjals or aubergines referred to as eggplants, I was puzzled. In northern India where I grew up, brinjals though slightly rounded at one end, are hardly egg-sized. Or maybe they can be compared to roc eggs! They are large, shiny, and darkly purple or in winter glossy white. In southern India however, the local varieties, be they pale green or variations in purple are much smaller, even pea-sized. Brinjals, particularly, fried or sauted is everyday food. We used to get through stacks of bread slices or rotis with a few slices of deep fried, salted brinjals, as children. All they needed was a dusting with salt and turmeric before deep frying. Needless to say, sauted brinjals figure largely in my kitchen even now. I have featured pickled brinjal before. This recipe has distinct Mediterranean overtones. Its worth the extra effort since it can be stored rather well for a week or two. Great mixed with pasta, sandwiched between bread or rolled into rotis.
Salt diced brinjals. Heat the oil in a kadai. Drain the diced brinjals of any liquid and fry them. Cover for a couple of minutes and cook for 3 more minutes uncovered. In the meantime, make the dressing with the vinegar, anchovy paste, honey and mint. Taste and add honey and salt if necessary. Anchovy paste itself is very salty, so go light on the salt. Drain the fried brinjals. Mix them with the dressing. Cool and store in glass jar.


Look in the back of last week's AUTOSPORT and you'll see BMW recruitment ads for the Formula 1 team. That's how sudden the pull-out was. It's about the global meltdown and its catastrophic effects on the car industry, of course. But BMW Sauber's performance on track this year and the circumstances behind it must have made the decision a lot easier than it otherwise would have been.
For one of the iconic performance brands, the fact that the withdrawal comes after only limited success in more than a decade of trying is plain embarrassing at a corporate level. Other marques can get away with merely competing in F1, but not BMW. This is not how it was supposed to happen. BMW had a plan, one that had to be revised once or twice, but only in its timetable, not its final outcome. That was never in doubt.


Experience is everything when assessing complex real estate assets.
Commercial Building Inspection Reports (a.k.a Equity Property Condition Reports) are our specialty. When investing in a major complex commercial real estate asset, trust us to inspect the asset and to identify the immediate repairs and deferred maintenance issues.
The key to a quality Commercial Building Inspection Report is staffing with experience. Our assessors are all highly experienced in building inspections and many are licensed Professional Engineers or Registered Architects. Our property inspection practice is so large that in most national markets we have specialists for each major property type; in other words, we can staff a garden-style apartment building and a high-rise office building with inspectors specializing in that property type. Again: experience is everything.
Our Commercial Building Inspections are done by a single experienced building inspector or by a team of inspectors. We often deploy teams of 3 to 6 inspectors. The team will always be captained by our senior building inspector and may include sub-specialists such as a Structural Engineer, an HVAC specialist, an energy auditor, an ADA Inspector, and/or a Licensed Elevator Inspector. The benefits of sub-specialists are great. For example, our building inspector may have inspected thousands of elevators in his or her career, but without an elevator inspector's license, he will not be able to open the shaft and inspect beneath the cab.
Most of our clients request a standard narrative Property Condition Report. The narrative report discusses each building system and will describe all of the significant concerns or defects that were found during the inspection. Each report will include a table of immediate repairs and a table of replacement reserves over the desired reserve period.
Let us help you avoid the physical risks associated with investing in a commercial property.

A project for Albania is considered a winner in Italy.
The prestigious international magazine "The Plan" has awarded the first prize to the "Green Coast Resort" project from Albania at the solemn ceremony held in Venice Lido on May 18, 2017.
"The Plan" is one of the most popular European magazines dedicated to architecture and design. This magazine through a professional jury evaluates annually with dedicated prices various architectural, urban, environmental and other projects.
The Professional Jury of "The Plan", made up of well-known international designers, urbanists, journalists and critics, has also reviewed projects from different countries of the world in different categories this year, where for the first time in this competition participated the project for the "Green Coast Resort" promenade which did not only compete with other projects from the world but has been awarded the first place winner in the "Landscape" category.
The "Green Coast Luxury Resort" promenade is a project that drew both the jury and the public's attention to the challenges that emerged in design and functionality as it was specifically required to "mix" the proper elements of nature, sustainability of the terrain and the aesthetic side of the project which this project had calculated to perfection.
The project will be implemented in Palasa, Himara, with the investment of Balfin Group, which is building the "Green Coast Resort", one of the best resorts in the Balkan region. As a very ambitious project, the architecture and elements of Green Coast are cured in detail and according to the best European experience.
The Project of the Promenade is elegantly designed by the Italian studio "Iraci Studio" - one of the best studios in Italy and Europe, which managed to realize a wonderful combination of the unparalleled nature of Palasa, with the traditional elements of the area like stone and wood, the modern concept of beach promenades based on the best examples, with all the services that will be provided to help the economic development of the area, bringing convenience, accessibility and functionality to the entire "Green Coast Resort" and the surrounding area.

10 Shocking Movie Deaths That Came Out Of Nowhere
by Shaun Munro
Jun 4, 2013 June 4th, 2013
In the right hands, an epic movie death can be one of the defining aspects of a given film, bringing finality to a situation, or on a more basic level, simply thrilling the Hell out of us. In other instances, the mere shock value of the death, either through its speed, unexpected arrival or bizarre nature, can lodge a film far deeper in our consciousness than it otherwise would be. What these 10 deaths have in common is that in some way or another they defied expectations, and therefore shifted that we would come to expect from the film thereafter. If nothing else, these 10 films made it clear that all bets were off...
10. Steven Seagal - Executive Decision
It's a long, distant memory now, but once upon a time, Steven Seagal was a bankable action star, and in this goofy 1996 thriller, the actor was billed second only to Kurt Russell. Given the man's reputation as an action hero (at the time), it was assumed that he'd probably help save the day in an assistant capacity, and likely make it all the way to the end, or perhaps die in a sacrificial way at crunch time. Instead, Seagal's character doesn't even make it out of act one, being slung into mid-air when attempting to board the doomed plane. Needless to say, it's a profoundly shocking moment for action fans the first time they see it, and though Seagal wasn't pleased about being bumped off so early, there's little doubting that it added to the unpredictability factor ten-fold. Also, the lack of maudlin sentiment surrounding his demise is pleasantly refreshing.

The grape ingredient protects astronauts muscle
Jennifer Parker Send an email
Protective travel provisions contained in red wine and grapes: the ingredient resveratrol could protect future astronauts against muscular atrophy – and so their fitness on missions to Mars. Because the substance may be at least part of the muscle degradation in low gravity prevent experiments with rats as now. In the case of daily administration of resveratrol, kept the animals despite the lack of loading your grip strength and a large part of their muscle mass.
The plant ingredient is resveratrol in grapes, red wine, and blueberries – and he is regarded as a healthy pace with a wide range of effects. Because the antioxidant has anti-inflammatory, protect against cardiovascular diseases can inhibit and even cancer. The health-promoting effects of food additives with resveratrol, however, are controversial, possibly because this means a lot not always a lot helps, as recently a study suggested.
Resveratrol as gravity replacement?
Another potential effect of resveratrol has now Marie Montreux from the Harvard Medical School in Boston and her team examined in more detail: Protection against muscle breakdown at reduced gravity. A man for a long time in the weightlessness of space rapidly on, he loses both strength and muscle mass. Although targeted training can reduce this loss of muscle tissue, but not completely. The same applies to stay on the moon or Mars – both objectives of future space missions. The force of gravity on them is only one-sixth or one third as strong – and also the leads without countermeasures to muscle breakdown. If the daily dose of resveratrol can protect against this loss of muscle tissue, the researchers have now investigated with rats.
Strength of grip is retained
In this experiment, the animals were suspended for 14 days in special harnesses so that your leg muscles were charged only to 40 percent – this corresponds roughly to the Mars Gravity. One-half of the rats received a daily dose of 150 milligrams of resveratrol per kilogram of body weight, the other does not. Before and after the researchers tested grip strength, muscle mass and a number of muscle fibers in the leg muscles of the animals. The result: after two weeks, the untreated control animals significantly as expected in muscle mass and strength of grip will be lost. But not the rats that had been given to you on a daily basis: Resveratrol was the muscle mass also slightly, their strength of grip at the front and rear legs but despite reduced burden remained the same, as the researchers report. The loss of muscle fibers was also significantly less in these animals.
How this positive effect comes into being, is still unclear.
The researchers suspect, however, that the effect of the resveratrol in the Sugar budget, could play a role. "Resveratrol promotes muscle growth in diabetic mice, by the insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake in the muscle fibers increases," says Moreau. This mechanism could help to counteract the muscle atrophy at reduced gravity. "Our results highlight the therapeutic potential of resveratrol", explains the researcher. Because earlier studies had a similar muscle protective effect of resveratrol also observed in complete weightlessness.
Resource for astronauts in the view of Moreau and her team, it is quite possible that these positive effects of resveratrol to protect astronauts on Mars missions or for longer stays on the moon. The gift of the substance as a food supplement could then, for example, the muscle-preserving effect of physical training. Previously but were still more studies are needed. "We still need to find out what mechanisms are involved and what are the effects on men and women have different doses of resveratrol," says Moreau. "It is also important to confirm that resveratrol no harmful interactions with other drugs."

With a HUGE 100 million records sold worldwide, Def Leppard are one of only five rock bands to have two of their original studio albums ('Pyromania' and 'Hysteria') achieve RIAA Diamond (10 x Platinum) certification.
'Hysteria' in particular saw the band achieve worldwide status, with the album putting seven singles in the US Top 40, charting for two solid years, and selling more than 25 million copies worldwide!
Def Leppard's breakthrough third album 'Pyromania' saw the band take a step away from their traditional heavy metal roots and towards a more polished sound focused on catchy melodic hooks and glossy production.
This new radio-friendly sound was a major catalyst for the 1980s melodic hard rock movement, and the inclusion of their first big slow song 'Love Bites' on their next album 'Hysteria' sparked the trend of mainstream metal bands including a power ballad on albums for years to come!
With a feat that seems almost impossible to accomplish, Def Leppard hold a Guinness Book of World Record for performing three concerts on three continents in one day, playing shows in Morocco, London and Vancouver on 23rd October 1994!
Def Leppard's status as one of the most important forces in rock music has been recognised through countless award nominations, with the band winning two American Music Awards' for 'Heavy Metal/Hard Rock Artist' and 'Heavy Metal/Hard Rock Album', two Classic Rock Roll of Honour Awards for 'Classic Album' and 'Album of the Year', as well as Metal Hammer's 'Legends Award' and Planet Rock's 'The Brick Wall Award'. They've also just been nominated for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame!


Bruno and Hedy Muskat at theirwedding in 1975. The couple shared a life to the point of their death.
Hedy and Bruno Moskat, partners in life, died March 9 in Carson City within hours of each other, and with them went a part of history.
Theirs is a story of young lives forever marked by the tragedies of war — a story of triumph, the indomitable human spirit, and love that binds.
Born in Banja Luka, Yugoslavia, in 1919, Hedy Moskat was once the 19-year-old bride of Miro Balvanovic and, as such, a member of a wealthy family.
Their daughters, Katrina and Mira, were born amid the political chaos that marked Hitler's rise. On the heels of the war, Yugoslavian Communist leader Marshall Tito took control, and Balvanovic joined the resistance.
The family never received word of his death, but many of those who opposed the Communist leader were slaughtered, then buried in mass graves, according to Vigo.
With the family fortunes gone, Hedy was left to support two children. In Communist Yugoslavia, only members of the party could get jobs. Hedy joined forces with a relative, known to Vigo only as "Aunt Josipa," who had one daughter. Together, the two fought to keep their families together.
The young widow met and fell in love with Mehmed Slipcevic in 1948, but they could not marry. Because the body of her husband had never been found, his disappearance was considered a desertion and by law Hedy would have to be widowed for 10 years before she could remarry. Despite the politics, the pair had their first child in Zagreb, the capitol of Croatia.
"I was illegitimate," Vigo said with a quick smile.
The pair did marry following her birth, moving to Munich, Germany, with their daughter and Mirsad, Mehmed's son by a previous marriage, in 1954.
There, they waited for the release of Hedy's older daughters from Communist Yugoslavia, but the Communist government would not release the girls. Teenagers at the time, they remained in Yugoslavia with family and live there to this day.
The couple moved to Chicago in 1958.
An accomplished tailor who had studied in Italy, Mehmed became head designer for a men's clothing firm.
Convinced Chicago was no place to raise children, they moved first to San Francisco and then to Santa Rosa, Calif., where their second daughter, Jasna, was born.
The couple first met Bruno Moskat and his wife, Margaret, in Santa Rosa through the German Club, a group of immigrants who got together about every month for European-style music, food, and fun, but the Slipcevics did not stay in Santa Rosa. They moved first to Yuba City and then to Carson City in 1970.
Mehmed died of a massive heart attack while the couple was visiting in Yugoslavia with Jasna in 1971. Afterward, Hedy supported herself doing a number of jobs including housekeeping and babysitting. It wasn't until 1975 when Bruno called to tell her that his wife of 28 years was leaving him.
Born in March 1920 in Pammeln, Germany, Bruno Moskat enlisted in the German Air Force during World War II. A paratrooper, he was captured in Crete by Allied forces just weeks after the war started and spent the balance of the war as a prisoner, part of that time as a coal miner in both Europe and Africa. There, he contracted tuberculosis and black lung disease and was eventually transferred to a prisoner-of-war camp near Dallas, Texas.
After the war he returned to Germany where he became an apprentice for four years, learning to build fine cabinets and clocks. He married Margaret, and moved back to the United States in 1955. Here, he established his business and had two sons.
His life with Hedy began with the phone call, according to Richmond and Vigo.
As their relationship grew, Bruno sold his business and house in Santa Rosa, and the two were married in December 1975. According to their daughters, together the couple enjoyed music, good food and travel.
Hedy developed congestive heart failure and, for more than five years, Bruno was the primary caregiver for his wife.
He developed pneumonia in January and his problems, according to Vigo and Richmond, led to a decline in Hedy's health. As his condition deteriorated, she quit eating.
A dizzying round of doctors and hospitals followed, culminating in the death of the pair within hours of each other on March 9. She was 82, and he was 81.
She said they will miss the long talks with their mother over Turkish coffee, the friendship that developed over time, the tremendous love and support of their stepfather.
"Bruno was the best stepfather anyone could imagine," Jasna said. "He always worried about all of his children. The day before he died, he told us to take some money out of his account.

Evo Evans, founding member of WARFARE, is back with a new album which features the first new WARFARE material in 25 years and sees him collaborating with such notable names as Fast Eddie Clarke of MOTÖRHEAD fame and Lips from ANVIL, who guest on the new WARFARE album along with some other musicians. The new material takes the listener back to the raw rough and ready Metal Punk days of the legendary "Metal Anarchy" album full of hunger and punked up passion. We caught up with Evo about the new album and take a retrospective look back on the history of WARFARE...
First of all let's go right back to the beginning. Tell us about your pre - WARFARE musical years, what were you doing? How you initially got involved with bands and the music scene? What and who inspired you to pick up a musical instrument and become active in the first place?
"I left school when I was 16, having absolutely hated every moment of it and I vowed never to do 9 to 5 again. I started in local crappy bands as you do, but was always too ambitious and full on for them. They were quite happy going to work in the mundane jobs and wouldn't take it seriously but never the one to be deterred. I went for an audition with the biggest name band in our area who were looking for a drummer to complete their British tour with CHELSEA. The band in question were MAJOR ACCIDENT. I then went on to record two singles and a live album with them. It was at that point I got very pissed off as we were offered second on the bill to HAWKWIND at the Stonehenge festival, but at that point it was customary in MAJOR ACCIDENT's town (Darlington) that on a bank holiday Monday they all went on the piss, so they wouldn't do the show. Yet again I got completely disillusioned with their attitude, so I packed my bags and headed down to London. At that time the next new thing was about to happen with management for Gary Bushel major label interest. The act in question were South London outfit THE BLOOD. It was at this point the idea of fronting and forming the most over the top noisiest concept was brewing in my mind. I recorded the classic album with them, "False Gestures For A Devious Public", which went to number 62 in the charts, but in-house squabbling and egos got in the way and at that point I had heard on the grapevine that the ANGELIC UPSTARTS were looking for a drummer... They were the early years, and the rest is history."
When did the initial idea for WARFARE happen? What instigated the formation of the band? Why the band name?
"I got the idea and many more whist serving my apprenticeship with the above. I like one named band titles and WARFARE definitely fitted into the genre I was about to create."
Did you have a clear musical concept in mind when forming WARFARE? Did you purposely set out to mix Punk and Metal together or did the music come out naturally raw and punked up due to your pre - WARFARE Punk background?
"I wanted to merge Punk and Metal like it had never been done or heard before so it was so loud that it went over the threshold of pain."
How did people initially react to your pioneering crossover sound at that time? What kind of responses did you receive from both Punks and Metalheads?
"The response was overwhelming as this was pre - Thrash days and it was a breath of fresh air. The Punks and Metalheads loved it."
Would you say WARFARE helped to bridge the divisions that existed between Punks and Metalheads at that time? If so, why?
"Certainly WARFARE are credited as being the very first true Punk / Metal band and it was great to see the kids both headbanging and pogoing at the same time, job done."
How did the long lasting partnership with Neat Records come about? Are you satisfied with what the label did, looking back now? Or do you feel some things could have been done differently.
"I was very happy with Neat Records and had some great times working with them, the music really went to a limited audience because of the cacophony of it all, but Neat sold the arse off it and indeed made that audience much larger and got the albums all over the world, the fan mail was overwhelming."
2 singles and the "Noise Filth And Fury" EP were the real beginning of the WARFARE sound, how did it initially feel to record something with a band you could fully call your own? Where did you record that very early material? 'Burn The Kings Road' and 'New Age Of Total Warfare' became legendary and iconic songs... What was the inspiration for those songs lyrically as well as musically? What shaped and fuelled the initial writing for WARFARE?
"It felt great. I was young fuelled with ambition and creativity full of alcohol. The very first EP was produced by my goodself and recorded at Impulse studios. Jeff "Mantas" Dunn played the guitars. 'Burn The Kings Road' was written on my long walks around London and about the corruption of the music industry. 'New Age Of Total Warfare' was about the first full on crossover concept "aim those frets between your eyes". What more can be said, turn it up and fuck off!!"
Your debut album was the "Pure Filth" album in 1984, tell us about this in your own words. It was produced by Algy Ward of TANK, how did he become involved? Did you know him prior? How was he to work with and what do you feel he brought to the recording? What songs stand out to you on the album and how do you feel about it as a debut, looking back on it?
"Algy had been a good friend for many years and he understood the monster I was creating. I don't have a standout track because when I write I believe in the term all killers no fillers and that's what you get."
This album also featured guest slots by Abaddon and Cronos from VENOM, how did they become involved and how did you get to know those guys initially?
"I got to know the guys because they were label mates. "Pure Filth" was short of one track for the length. In those days the manager of Neat never used to listen to the songs, he just used to sell the hell out of them, and he said to me, "just record anything, an instrumental, even a ballad", so with that in mind, as the alcohol was flowing quite nicely, I asked the guys from VENOM did they fancy playing on a ballad with me... Cronos and I on vocals, such a sweet song… 'Rose Petals Fall From Her Face'... and it serves you all right, so fuck off!"
That recording was followed up by the classic WARFARE album "Metal Anarchy" which many see as the definitive WARFARE album. The title itself sounds like a definete statement of intent. Was it you asserting that the chaotic, raw and no holds barred sound of WARFARE was well and truly here?
"I created everything. The ideas, the concept and the full control. Lemmy was an obvious choice as I don't believe there is a fan of this kind of music that doesn't like MOTÖRHEAD. I don't think it was the definitive WARFARE album as personally and obviously I think they all rate equally."
What were your intentions with that album sound wise and do you think you achieved it? How was the album received by both fans and media?
"The album was received amazingly and sold extremely well. Fuck the media... as for sound, the title says it all..."
What songs on that album are your faves and why?
"All killers no fillers."
You recorded the "Metal Anarchy" album with Lemmy from MOTÖRHEAD, which was released in 1985. How did that collaboration come about? Where was it recorded / mixed? Why did you choose those locations? Any anecdotes you'd like to share from the recording sessions with him? What do you feel he added to that recording?
"I asked Lemmy at Dingwalls in Camden Town would he produce the album and over a Jack Daniels and coke (well several really) he said yes. He brought a great deal to the recording as his experience is renowned. The album was recorded and mixed at Ezee Studios in London, I chose that studio because it was state of the art and only fitting for a guy like Lemmy."
Where did you record the now infamous 'Metal Anarchy' video at?
"In a nice quaint church, having told the Bishop we were a Folk band and went on to marvellously blow the fucking roof off. The locals were up in arms, protests in all local papers and TV, saying we were the antichrist, but as with all my ideas, it sold the ass off the new album."
Around the same period you were asked to open for METALLICA at the Hammersmith Odeon in London, but it never happened. Please tell the readers about the legendary story about WARFARE playing outside the venue on the back of a truck... what exactly happened to make such an incident unfold?! Why didn't you play?
"This has been documented so many times over the years and I'm totally fuckin bored with the question (just google it). It was anarchy, nosebleeds, car crashing, arrests… just total fucking mayhem. A wonderful way to spend a lovely day out, it was marvellous."
You followed up "Metal Anarchy" quite quickly in '86 with the 3rd full length "Mayhem Fuckin' Mayhem" which was produced by Cronos. Please tell us about this album in your own words, what are the standout tracks for you and why? This album was definetly a more thrashier affair whilst still remaining punked up and raw... what was your intention with that album musically?
"The inspiration came from the Hammersmith protest as I've said many times, they are all killers no fillers. I had sacked the bass player at this point, so my mate Cronos played all the bass, and he and I co-produced it. My intention with the album was to piss as many people off as I could, just another day in the dirt factory!!"
How did he become involved in the recording process? Were you a VENOM fan at the time?
"I was never a VENOM fan and had never heard their music until signing with Neat, and god knows why people associate WARFARE with them. In fact, they are totally the opposite, certainly lyric wise. I would never sing as much shite. That aside, he was a label mate and became a good friend and was a fantastic bass player and we had tremendous fun making that album."
Speaking of VENOM, you also appeared on the Metal City video / documentary together, how did that come about?
"The record company arranged this."
That album was followed a couple years later in 1988 by your most Thrash Metal sounding album to date, "A Conflict Of Hatred". This album was significantly more Metal sounding and less punky than the previous releases. Was that a conscious decision or did the songwriting just naturally take a more thrashier approach?
"I always kept myself totally interested and didn't want to use the same formula over and over again as that would just bore me, and if you listen carefully you will find each WARFARE album has a very different approach."
How do you feel about this album looking back, what are the standout tracks and why? Where was it recorded?
"The album was recorded at Impulse Studios and mastered at Abbey Road. I feel the same as I have with all my albums, very proud."
Next up in the WARFARE discography was the darkly atmospheric curveball "Hammer Horror" in 1990, a concept album in collaboration with Hammer Films. How did the concept originally come about and how did you end up getting Hammer so closely involved? The music was much more Gothic sounding... What influenced this album musically overall? How was the initial reaction upon its release?
"From being a kid I was obsessed with Hammer horror films so always being one to follow my dreams I went down to the studios at Elstree blagged my way in through the inept security guard and found their offices. I was rude and forward enough to knock on the MD's door and tell him that I was the leader of a name band and what my idea was, as be it with a bit of luck he informed me that it was the 40th anniversary of Hammer studios and he immediately liked the concept and my ideas. He said he would only get involved as long as it came out on the Hammer banner and created their own label, so I reluctantly left Neat Records, having had some really good times there and great memories and signed to Hammer. Neat were very unhappy and begged me to stay, but by now you will know what I am like. It took me almost a year to record. However on its release the die hard fans of WARFARE didn't really get what I was trying to do, but now all these years on, it has become a classic to all the film buffs and it has influenced many bands including NIGHTWISH among others."
Where did you record "Hammer Horror" and why the locations?
"The album was recorded in various studios, Trinity Heights, Alexis Corner Studio in London and little bits all over the place that I don't really remember. As afore mentioned, I only use the best studios."
What are your favourite Hammer Horror movies and why?
"Most of them, but I think my favourite one is "Plague Of The Zombies" as it was extremely atmospheric, and in 1966 was well before its time."
Lyrically, what inspired you to put pen to paper during the 80s WARFARE years? What angered you, what motivated you, what made you want to shout about subjects such as Metal anarchy?
"The world and its shit, my isolation and the fine line between brilliance and insanity. I certainly have never had what they call a normal life."
How active was WARFARE live back then? Any gigs that really stand out to this day? If so, why? Did WARFARE make it over to mainland Europe for any shows / tours?
"The best gig that stands out was at the Dynamo Festival in Holland 1985. The press described WARFARE as making the SEX PISTOLS look like pussies. Guitars were smashed, support bands beaten up, enough alcohol consumed to fill a swimming pool, habitual spitting, stage smashing mayhem, real pig blood throwing, just the usual run of the mill gig all in a days work."
Who designed the now iconic WARFARE logo?
"Me."
What was your opinion on the local scene of the mid to late 80s? What other local bands did you feel an "affinity" with (if any)?
"I totally had no opinion and certainly no interest in any of it apart from WARFARE."
You did a couple covers in the day ('Two Tribes' and 'You Really Got Me' by FRANKIE GOES TO HOLLYWOOD and THE KINKS respectively, why did you choose them?
"To annoy people which I certainly did, fucking glorious."
What caused the initial break up of WARFARE in the early 90s? What made you go "fuck it, that's it, had enough"?
"I got very bored as it became more of a 9 to 5 job which I vowed never to do. I'd totally run out of new ideas and rather than flogging a dead horse and continuing like a lot of my contemporaries did. Intellectually I thought it was best to go out on top and now 25 years on you have a brand new WARFARE album, which is totally fresh and more over the top than any of the former releases and more relevant today than ever."
When did you know things were coming to an end?
"My boredom growing."
You pursued other things afterwards and disappeared actively from the music scene... what did you turn your attention to instead and did you still write music in the immediate post WARFARE years or did you just put down the instruments full stop for a while?
"As afore mentioned I just stopped, but over the last 25 years I have had so many offers of playing with other names bands, producing, mastering all of which I've declined until now."
Did you keep in touch with any ex - WARFARE members? Do you know what Gunner, Falken, Zlaughter are doing thesedays?
"I played with so many musicians and steered the concept which was a creation more than a band, on the whole I am a loner and keep in touch with very few people."
You returned this year with the "Warfare" album, the first new WARFARE music in 25 years... what instigated this album and return to the scene? You sound hungry and full of rejuvinated energy on this album. Please tell us the origins of this album and how it came to be?
"Believe it or not it all came about in a dream. I awoke the next morning and started penning some lyrics, don't ask me why? Then I decided to dig out my old fucked up guitar and take it to my mates studio Fred Purser and asked if I could plug it into a Marshall amp. I hit the first cord albeit rusty and shook all the pens off the office desk and then it was back, the noise, filth and fury. I came home and my PR Lucy asked the German record label High Roller Records, who had released some WARFARE albums, if they would be interested in signing me, and they immediately said 'yes'. I find there is much more of a wealth of inspirational material out there as the world is more fucked up now than it ever was and I fear for the youth, I really do."
What statement did you want to make with this new album / recording?
"There was no statement as such, I just went back to the old days but with a fresh approach and turned it up to number 12 and more, the lyrics are dark and original and speak for themselves buy it from www.hrrecords.de."
How do you feel about it? Did it turn out exactly as planned? What does the new WARFARE album represent to you and mean to you personally?
"I think the album is fantastic, both musically and lyrically. I have lost none of my anger and still fuckin bite like a German sheppard. I would urge everyone to buy a physical copy because the lyrics are just as important as the music, just like they always, were it has deluxe packaging with a gatefold sleeve, collecters red vinyl etc and any fans of WARFARE and the like will love it!"
How does it feel to be creating and recording new music again?
"Fantastic and extremely refreshed, I am so pleased with the brand new material, 25 years and I've come back to kick your teeth out."
Please tell us how it was recorded and who played what on it. You also have some guest musicians on it including Fast Eddie Clarke of MOTÖRHEAD fame, how did he become involved?
"Fast Eddie in my opinion is the best guitarist in the world, he has been a friend for a long time from the early MOTÖRHEAD days and his playing is synonymous in the Hardrock genre. Lips from ANVIL was the very first Thrash player ever, just like WARFARE were the first Punk / Metal, and his contribution lifts the song he plays on. I play most of the instruments, Nik Turner is involved because like me he is a lunatic and on the track 'Doctor Of Insanity' he narrates for the very first time in poetry form the lyrics to the classic HAWKWIND song 'Brainstorm' over a real nasty juggy guitar and bass riff. Paul Gray from THE DAMNED and UFO played some bass for me and it all kicks ass so much."
The album is out on High Roller Records who also put out a few other WARFARE releases recently, please tell us about those and how they and the collaboration initially came about?
"As I have said, I was asked many times over the past 25 years, High Roller approached me and it must have been their lucky day, or fucking unlucky depending on your point of view, poor bastards it's all their fault!"
Is there any chance of the 80s WARFARE albums being fully reissued by High Roller as well? Is this something you have thought of or discussed?!
"First 4 albums coming out all re-mastered on BMG/Universal early next year."
Anything else you'd like to mention regarding the new album? What can fans expect from it in your opinion?
"Bleeding ears, migraine, deafness in later life, psychosis and intellectual disease. I have come back to show you how it should be done and there are no excuses, just buy the bloody thing if you dare at your own peril! V sign to the World."
What is your opinion on the resurgence of 80s Metal and Punk and the rejuvenated NWOBHM movement?
"Because the 80s musicians could write and play real Rock music really it is pretty sad that the old bastards have come back on demand because of the lack of real talent and manufactured bullshit."
There is a lot of younger bands playing a mixture of Metal and Punk these days (MIDNIGHT, BAT, TOXIC HOLOCAUST, WHIPSTRIKER etc) and crossing over just like WARFARE did all those years ago and citing WARFARE as major influence. How do you feel about that? Are there any new Metal / Punk bands that appeal to you that you've heard?
"As said before WARFARE were the first and it's so cool that all these new bands are influenced by my insanity, and good luck to them all. Turn it up."
Can we expect more music from you now you have a taste for it again? Is this a new age of total warfare? Who knows?
"The future is unwritten and what I am most expecting from the future is life and being able to breathe, the new album is selling very well but I suppose if all you lazy bastards get off your arses and buy 3 copies it will sell better. Don't download it you greedy cunts! It has been received so well, so yes, if it sells like "Pure Filth" and "Metal Anarchy" there is no reason why I shouldn't do a follow up depending on how I feel."

Artist and prominent collector Francie Bishop Good shares an inside look at her lifestyle and workspace.
Bishop Good uses her laptop to manipulate her photography while Buddy, one of her three rescue dogs, keeps her company. Yellow doors bring a cheery burst of color to the basic white walls and neutral concrete floors. The shelves display a rainbow of mini sculptures made by the artist.
Francie Bishop Good's studio is her second home, and conveniently, it's just steps away from her first.
Bishop Good and Horvitz have made extraordinary contributions to the art world, especially in South Florida. They are leading collectors, major donors and passionate advocates who have been members of the NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale's board of governors since 2007, with Horvitz serving as chairman for six years. Bishop Good is a two-time recipient of the South Florida Cultural Consortium Fellowship and the State of Florida Individual Artist Fellowship, and her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally.
In 2013, the David and Francie Horvitz Family Foundation presented the NSU Art Museum with a $1.5 million challenge grant that has since been fulfilled, and three years later, the museum received a second challenge grant from the foundation: $1 million to support exhibitions, programming and operations. The goal for the match was achieved just nine months after the announcement.
Recently, the couple also made a promised gift of 100 works, primarily consisting of pieces by female artists, from their collection of contemporary art. A portion of the gift has already been deeded to the museum, and more works will come each year.
Bishop Good and her husband are also credited with creating Girls' Club, a private foundation and alternative space in Fort Lauderdale established in 2006 to educate the public, nurture the careers of female artists and serve as a resource for students, scholars, curators and artists to embrace the contributions of women to the field of contemporary art.
For Bishop Good, this emphasis on girl power seemed like a natural calling. "One day about 20 years ago, I looked around our house and realized 90 percent of the work we acquired was by women," she says. "It just happened organically." The collection has since grown to more than 800 works.
As a 7-year-old living in Allentown, Pennsylvania, taking pictures with her first camera, Bishop Good suspected art would eventually become her life. She majored in painting and photography at the Philadelphia College of Art, eventually earning a bachelor's degree in fine arts from the University of Colorado Boulder in 1972. Her career has included teaching art to students from preschool to college, and after meeting Horvitz, with whom she began to collect contemporary art, Bishop Good started her studio practice.
Much like Bishop Good's art, H.A.T.S. is layered, textured and evocative. She enlisted Fort Lauderdale-based architect Robert Tuthill, who she describes as "sweet, flexible and very talented," to design a refreshingly modern edifice, a complete departure from the couple's former Mediterranean-style home. Tuthill fulfilled the artist's vision by incorporating expansive windows for an inflow of natural light, plenty of space for guests and a sizable studio with room for a kiln.
The dining area features a vintage table and contrast seating. Two curvaceous ebony chairs designed by Tucker Robbins represent the human figure alongside a pair of Konstantin Grcic industrial stacking chairs in white aluminum. A Isamu Noguchi rice paper fixture radiates ambient light, and the space is completed by Bishop Good's artwork.

Three confirmed cases linked to Australian Open detected with Variant Coronavirus
Returning Australians are quarantined at a hotel in Melbourne. Photo Source: AFP
Sydney, Jan. 24 – The furore over the diagnosis of the 2021 Australian Open tennis tournament continues to fester, with three previously confirmed cases detected as infected with a variant of the New Coronavirus found in the United Kingdom.
The three patients include a man in his 50s and two men in their 30s, none of whom are participating players, according to several Australian media outlets on the evening of the 23rd, citing the Victorian state department in charge of outbreak quarantine at the tournament.
The three men arrived in Melbourne on a chartered Australian Open flight on Jan. 15 and have been quarantined in hotels after being diagnosed one after another since their arrival.
Genetic sequencing showed that they were infected with a variant of the New Coronavirus previously found in the UK.
Meanwhile, Portuguese player João Sousa said on social media that despite his negative test result for Coronavirus, he decided not to play in this year's Australian Open in view of the strict controls and quarantine measures he may face upon arrival.
According to a release from the V.I. Quarantine Department, after adjustments, nine people of interest coming to Australia for this year's Australian Open have been confirmed, and more than 70 players have been placed under mandatory quarantine due to confirmed cases among their fellow passengers.

principles of rational decision making
Wanting to be liked is normal and healthy. Rational decision making models involve a cognitive process where each step follows in a logical order from the one before. In many situations decisions have to be made with incomplete and insufficient information. The chosen solution will be in agreement with the preferences and beliefs of the decision maker. Again, a decision will be subjectively rational if it maximises attainment relative to the actual knowledge of the subject. The rational choice will satisfy conditions of logical consistency and deductive completeness… We as off spring tend to learn by watching them and our others who have various challenges in life, some are mental, others have physical issues which make being a leader difficult, yet not impossible. They take the job for the money after they were happy in their last job. I AM what I aim at (precisely, say, state out loud), hit (w/o collateral damage, nothing else lost, say, do openly), and reform (design, say, align in effect).

We saw "The Ant Bully" today, a movie about a child who kills ants but is shrunk down to ant size and made to join the colony. Lucy professed to dislike the movie, but then when we came home, all evening long, she kept saying firmly, "Teamwork! That is what I always say! It's about teamwork!" Never mind that the word "teamwork" was not in her vocabulary until she saw the film; she says, "I love to say 'teamwork!' It's all about teamwork! That is what I always say!"
Iris and I have been fighting over my computer. Anton, without my knowledge or consent, installed several seasons of "The Simpsons" on my computer. That means that computer-savvy Iris can, whenever she likes, turn on my computer and sit, rapt, watching episode after episode of "The Simpsons." Never mind that my parental policy, which the husband had allegedly signed on to, was that there is no TV and no videos or DVDs during the day. Now the computer allows Iris constant access to beloved animation. Whenever I want to check my email or surf the web, I have a battle on my hands.
The other day, I was selling my Burning Man tickets on ebay, and I really needed access to my computer. I threw Iris off, mid-Simpsons episode, telling her I would just do my email and not take long. She hung over my shoulder, stating ominously, "I am watching you... WITH DISGUST." I lost all composure.

"Tom Hanks, Annie Potts, Christina Hendricks and Keanu Reeves on Toy Story 4: 'There are nine horrible versions of the film that no one shoul" – Independent
The cast and creators of the returning Pixar classic examine the legacy of an eternal franchise that has had its sexual politics updated in its latest outing. Clarisse Loughrey reports
If you ask Tom Hanks what it's meant to him to have spent the last quarter-century voicing Sheriff Woody, he'll probably tell you the same story.
Toy Story 4 dives straight into the realm of existential terror.
Toy Story 2 started out life as a direct-to-video sequel, before getting bumped up to a theatrical release, prompting the team at Pixar to throw out the entire film and start from scratch.
Last year, a small flurry of media attention erupted around Potts's revelation that roughly 75 per cent of the script for Toy Story 4 had been thrown out.
A year later, Disney finally severed ties with Lasseter, with his last contribution to Pixar being a story credit on Toy Story 4.
It's ironic, in a way, that Toy Story 4 arrives at the close of one chapter and the beginning of another, since that's entirely what the film is about.
Toy Story owes a lot to how in sync its actors and their characters are, and the franchise's fourth instalment is certainly no different.

For me, it's not just about climate change. We need to move towards more advanced energy systems to be able to provide sustainable energy for the modern world, using less resources and producing less waste. We've exhausted technical advancement in chemical energy, hydro, and renewables. The next level of advancement is on the atomic level, because it has the highest potential for energy density and efficiency.
The New Fire tells the story of new and advanced reactors that bring a new face to nuclear energy and have the ability to revitalize the energy generation system. This documentary-in-the-making features these young entrepreneurs (some of which are my friends) and their technologies.
The documentary is nearly finished and needs your help getting through the last steps before release, support them on Kickstarter here.
