Investment market thrives on site battle
Designer shops location fight sparks rise in rental values
Designer shops battling for prime locations on one of Scotland's most vibrant shopping streets is helping fuel a gradual improvement in Edinburgh's commercial property investment market.
Upmarket Fashion boutiques including Jigsaw, Coast, Cruise and Viyella have helped George Street maintain its diamanteencrusted crown as Edinburgh's leading retail street.
Competition from style-conscious bars and restaurants to secure desirable addresses in the street has also continued.
Analysts say the end result is a healthy rise in the rental value landlords can charge.
And they admit the boost is having a knock-on effect across the commercial property investment market in the city.
Experts say confidence in the sector is rising - despite the IPD's annual property index recording commercial property as the poorest performing sector for the first time in 20 years. The sector showed returns of 3.4 per cent compared to bonds at 6.4 per cent and equities at 5.3 per cent. But studies reveal that interest from opportunistic investors striking while the market has been sleepy is also helping to drive up confidence.
And Jones Lang LaSalle says its annual city report shows that as a result of increased confidence the volume of transactions in the commercial property investment market is forecast to increase.
Alasdair Humphery, director of capital markets at Jones Lang LaSalle, said: "Investors will remain cautious, however, many buyers will be taking an opportunistic approach looking for a bargain as some vendors may be forced to sell due to redemptions. But with a fundamentally sound occupier market, Edinburgh will continue to attract a wide range of investors."
Increased confidence has also been noted through the recent lettings by three new companies of units on Princes Street.
Build-A-Bear, Carphone Warehouse and Just Pin have recently taken new lettings, while Bodyshop and Romanes & Paterson have renewed their leases.
Mr Humphery said: "George Street continues to gain momentum as the preferred location for many upmarket retailers.
"Demand remains strong for restaurant and licensed premises in Edinburgh city centre with requirements for George Street most common.
"In the past 12 months, we have witnessed a more subdued picture for Princes Street due to its inability to provide large floor plates within its historic buildings.
"Although this general trend has been of gradual decline, there are signs that this may now be slowing."
Away from the retail sector, a shortage of quality office space in the heart of Edinburgh is expected to lead to spiralling rents - and an increase in the number of incentives agents offer to secure a lease.

The story and mystery of the Tower of Babel gives us great insight as to how God judges rebellious conformity, and also gives us a prophetic foreshadow of what will occur in the future! We will begin by exploring the Tower of Babel after the Great Flood. After God saved Noah and his family from the Great Flood (Genesis 7:13, 1 Peter 3:20), He commanded Noah and his three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, to repopulate all of the earth, which they did.
It is important to understand that God then divided the descendants of Shem, Ham, and Japheth among the whole earth.
As the earth was flooded because of mankind's wickedness (Genesis 6:5-8), once the earth was repopulated again, it did not take long before evil was widespread again. Noah's son, Ham, had a son named Cush. Cush had a son named Nimrod. Nimrod became a mighty conqueror and king of the land of Shinar (Babel-Babylon).
Before we explore the Tower of Babel, let us discover additional information about Nimrod. In the Talmud, a collection of Jewish (Hebrew) history and records, valuable information is recorded about Nimrod to help us completely understand the story and mystery of the Tower of Babel. We are using the Talmud strictly as a reference book, not a holy book, as it does not have scriptural authority as the Holy Bible.
This section is quoted and paraphrased from the Talmud page 27-30. The Talmud tells us that Nimrod signifies "rebellion," as he was not a godly man. We also learn that Nimrod had a coat of skins that gave him strength and might. How did Nimrod obtain the coat of skins? God made a coat of skins for Adam after he ate the forbidden fruit to cover himself (Genesis 3:21). When Adam passed away, it became the possession of Enoch. Enoch gave it to his son, Methusaleh, and he gave it to Noah, who carried it with him on the ark. The direct lineage of Adam to Enoch to Noah is given in Genesis 5. When Noah and his descendants left the ark, Ham, Noah's son, stole the coat and gave it to his son, Cush. Cush kept the coat for many years and gave it to Nimrod, the child of his old age. Nimrod was twenty years of age when he received the coat, and it gave him strength and might. In Genesis 10:8-10 we see that Nimrod was a "mighty one on the earth." The Hebrew word for "mighty one" is "gibbowr" (Strong's 1368) which means "warrior" or "tyrant." He was also a "mighty hunter before the LORD." The Hebrew word "before" is "paniym" (Strong's 6440), which means not only "before", but also "against, anger," and comes from the root word "panah" (Strong's 6437), which means "to turn," as in "turn away from." Nimrod was clearly a warrior tyrant who had turned away from and was against God. He not only hunted after game, but he hunted men and women, as well. He was the first man recorded in history to have done this type of horrible thing.
When Nimrod was forty years of age, he and his brethren, the sons of Ham, fought against the sons of Japheth (cousins). Nimrod and the sons of Ham were victorious over the sons of Japheth, and the sons of Japheth became Nimrod's servants. After the battle, Nimrod became king over all of the earth (Talmud page 27). Once Nimrod became king, he appointed counselors, judges, chiefs, generals, and captains, establishing a world government. At that time, all of the world spoke one language, Akkadian (Arabic). Once the world government was established and Nimrod's power was at its peak, he decided to build a city that would be the capital of his kingdom. He selected a land called Shinar, where the Tower of Babel would eventually be built. It is important to understand that Nimrod was not a godly man, and became the "father" of paganism, as he made gods of wood and stone, and created idols of himself. In fact, Nimrod and his wife, Semiranis, would become the origins of nearly every false deity and religion in the history of the world, and they still persist to this day in multiple forms. Now, with a summarized history of Nimrod, let us explore the Tower of Babel.
As we discovered, the land of Shinar is Nimrod's kingdom.
Moses clearly describes the rebellion and wickedness of Nimrod's kingdom. The self pride and defiance toward God is very clear. Let us remember, Nimrod's name signifies rebellion. In the Talmud, page 28, it tells us that Nimrod's officers and the descendants of Phut, Mitzrayim, Cush, and Canaan took counsel together and stated similar words as Genesis 11:4. The Talmud also states that the people wanted to build a tower to scale the heavens so they could "war with God." Without question, this is pride and rebellion at its best, and foreshadows the Antichrist. Let us remember, Satan stated similar words in Isaiah.
Nimrod and the people disobeyed God's command to scatter and inhabit all of the earth's land (Genesis 9:1,7, Genesis 10:32). As they stated, "let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth." They were clearly concocting a plan against God instead of uniting together to obey Him.
The conformity to worldly and ungodly standards is represented in the statement "let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly," to describe the materials of which they were going to make their tower to heaven. In scripture, bricks are often used to signify falsities made by the hand of man, rather than the truth (stones) made by the hand of God. Bricks are used because they are all the same. They are man made, uniform, not natural, and are used to build monuments to men and false gods. During the children of Israel's captivity in Egypt, it is stated multiple times that the Israelites were forced to make bricks, sometimes without straw (Exodus 1:14, Exodus 5:7, Exodus 5:14, etc), which were then used to build the pagan kingdom of Egypt. Also, the profit Isaiah makes mention of bricks.
Here we see the bricks which have fallen are the false works that the Lord has destroyed.
There is a major difference between unity and conformity. God commands us to live in unity, conforming to Him and His ways, not conforming together, or to the world, to rebel and defy Him and His sovereignty. Moses explains the results of their evil, pride-filled conformity against the Almighty.
God understood Nimrod and the people had evil intentions. Although He allowed them to continue for a period of years, He was not mocked.
Once God's patience had exhausted, He confused their language, causing them to not understand each another. In English, Babel means "a place or scene of noise and confusion; a confused mixture of sounds, as of voices or languages." In the Talmud, page 29, it states they quarreled and fought on account of many misunderstandings because of the confusion of the language, and many were destroyed because of it. After time, the confusion was so horrific, they were compelled to cease from building the tower.
Moses also gives us insight to the Holy Trinity as he states, "Come, let Us go down and confuse their language," clearly referring to the Holy Trinity; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Elohim*). This confirms Jesus was with God from the foundation of the world!
Once the Lord confused their language, He divided and scattered them abroad over the face of the earth. We can be confident that the languages we speak today, and the different cultures we have on earth, is a direct result of the Tower of Babel. Of course, Messiah loves all of mankind, and He came to save each one of us!
According to the Talmud, page 30, the Tower of Babel was exceedingly tall. The third part of the tower sunk into the ground, the second third was burned down, but the remaining third was standing until the time of the destruction of Babylon (536 BC).
The story of the Tower of Babel teaches us the difference between being unified with God, and being conformed with each other and the world against Him. Living in unity with one another and worshiping the Almighty as one "bride" is what God's eternal plan has always been for us. Living in conformity with each other to rebel and challenge the authority of the Almighty is evil, and it would be a direct correlation to Nimrod and the Tower of Babel. Nimrod is the founder of the great and evil Babylonian Empire. Nimrod's kingdom included the cities of Babel, Erech, Accad, and perhaps Calneh, all in the land of Shinar (Babylon). After the Great Flood, Nimrod became the "father" of idolatry and paganism, as he worshiped and made idols, including one of himself, with wood and stone.
Today, is there a place where people have built a "tower to God?" The resounding answer is yes. The tower of Bab-Illah (tower to Allah) is located in Mecca, Saudi Arabia (The Harlot). The golden gate (Bab-Illah) to the Kaaba (black cube), has the tallest building (tower) in the world. The seven-tower structure is 1.4 million square meters and is three times larger than the tallest building in the world. The golden gate leads to the Kaaba (black cube), which is a building at the center of Islam's most sacred mosque, Al-Masjid al-Haram, in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. It is the most sacred Muslim (Islam) site in the world. It is considered the "House of Allah" and has a similar role as the Tabernacle and Holy of Holies in Judaism.
Another significant point is that most Arabs call the Tower of Bab-Illah, Mount Babel. Furthermore, the ancient Tower of Babel is referred to as "The House of the Seven Lights of the Earth," and the Tower of Bab-Illah is referred to as the "Seven Towers of the House." To make it even more interesting, the contractor of the Tower of Bab-Illah was the Bin Laden Group (Osama Bin Laden's family).
Just as God destroyed the ancient Tower of Babel, He will also destroy the Tower of Bab-Illah, as well! How will the tower be destroyed and what nation will God use to accomplish His purpose? To understand this mystery, let us review in summary Babylon's history and rise to power. Nimrod ruled over the land of Shinar (Babel), and the area eventually became the Babylonian Empire. At the pinnacle of the empire's reign (Nebuchadnezzar), it controlled the area of land that would become Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Below are the maps of Nimrod's reign to Nebuchadnezzar.
According to the Scriptures, Saudi Arabia is "Mystery Babylon," the harlot of Revelation 17 & 18.* The prophet Isaiah tells us that Iran (Elam/Persia) and the Kurds (Medes) will destroy Saudi Arabia, including the Tower of Bab-Illah in the future (Isaiah 21). For more detailed information on "Mystery Babylon," please click the link below. We have to understand that Iran (Shiite) hates Saudi Arabia (Sunni), the harlot, as they feel Arabia is a blasphemy to Islam because of their civility towards Israel and the West. The deep hatred between the two countries results from a difference in theological approach of Islam, Shiite and Sunni. Just recently, Saudi Arabia beheaded Sheikh Nimr Baqir al Nimr, a prominent Shiite Muslim cleric and dissident. Iranian Ayatollah Ahmad Khatami strongly condemned this act and said, "If Sheikh Nimr is executed, Saudi Arabia should be ready for dire consequences and will pay a heavy price." In response, the Saudi Arabia embassy was attacked in Iran. These recent acts just add fuel to an already deep hatred between the two countries. Without question, if the Holy Bible prophecies Iran will destroy Saudi Arabia, then it will definitely happen (Isaiah 21)!
Why is this important? At Messiah's Olivet Discourse, He commanded us to watch (Matthew 24 & 25). Most bible scholars would agree that when Israel became a nation again in 1948 and recaptured Jerusalem as their capital in 1967, all end time prophecies can be fulfilled. In fact, Psalms 102:16 states, when the Lord builds up Zion (Jerusalem)*, the generation would not pass until Messiah appears in His glory. Moses states a generation is 70-80 years (Psalms 90:10).
While we are clearly not setting dates or prophesying in anyway, it is important to understand what Messiah and the prophets teach us to understand. As we discovered in previous articles, the Antichrist will come from Turkey*. Messiah stated in Revelation 2:13, "I know your works, and where you dwell, where Satan's throne is. And you hold fast to My name, and did not deny My faith even in the days in which Antipas was My faithful martyr, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells." Messiah was speaking to the church in Pergamos and stated where Satan's throne is, not was, but is, and He stated where Satan dwells, not dwelled, but dwells. Clearly, Satan's throne dwells in Turkey.
In the past decade, we have clearly seen Iran (ram) "march" across the Middle East. In 2003, after Saddam Hussein was removed from Iraq, Iran began its "march," and as of today, controls 1/2 to 2/3 of Iraq, as Isis controls the other 1/3. Hezbollah (Lebanon) is controlled directly by Iran. Also, Iran invaded Yemen, and now controls much of the country, as they are strategically setting up a showdown with Saudi Arabia in the future (Isaiah 21). In its most recent "march," Iran has ground troops in Syria, where the civil war is at its climax. Looking at the map, it is clear that Iran (ram) is "marching" across the Middle East as Daniel 8 prophesied. The Kurds (Medes) are and will be involved with Iran's conquests. So, in the past decade, Iran has obtained control over the majority of Iraq, Lebanon, Yemen, and now has its eyes set on Syria. According to the Scriptures, Iran will destroy Saudi Arabia (harlot) in the future (Isaiah 21). As we know, Daniel 8 could take several years or decades to be completely fulfilled, but frankly, it has begun. Once Medo-Persia (Iran) fulfills its prophetic calling, Turkey (goat) will conquer them.
Where do the Islamic terrorist groups fit in the Books of Daniel and Revelation? Daniel 8 clearly tells us the major players will be Iran and Turkey. Iran supports the terrorists organizations Hezbollah in Lebanon, and Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Also, Iran, Russia, and China are allies. With Russia and China on its side, Iran will eventually control Syria. This is very important as Iran has the financial backing and also the military support for their conquests. Clearly, Medo-Persia (Iran) has Russia, China, and Lebanon as allies.
Turkey backs Isis, who directly opposes Iran in Syria and Iraq. Isis is doing the "ground work" for Turkey. Without question, there is an "underground" battle manifesting between Iran (Ram) and Turkey (Goat) just as Daniel 8 prophesies. Turkey is overwhelmingly "Sunni Muslim," and allies itself with Saudi Arabia (Harlot), which is also "Sunni Muslim." We can understand why King Salmon of Saudi Arabia approved and allowed President Erdogan to enter the Kaaba (Tower of Bab-Illah) through the "Golden Gate." So, there is a major alliance with Turkey, Saudi Arabia, ISIS, and Al Quaeda. Turkey and its allies will win the battle with Iran in the future, just as Daniel 8 prophesies. When we look at Turkey today, they have become the "silent killer," as the majority of the mainstream media and news outlets do not understand their fatal destiny.
The ancient Tower of Babel gives us great insight and understanding as to what is occurring in our world today. Just as Nimrod and the ancient Babylonian people lived in rebellious conformity to the Almighty, our world is living in rebellious conformity to Him as well. However, God is not mocked and will fulfill His eternal plan.
Without question, no matter how rebellious the world's conformity becomes, God is in control! Messiah is the stone that will "crush" all of the evil kingdoms, including Antichrist's kingdom, when He returns for His Second Coming and Millennial Reign.
The story and mystery of the Tower of Babel provides an example of man's desire to reach the heavens through his own efforts by defying the one and only true ruler of heaven and earth. Fortunately for believers in Messiah, God, in His great justice and almighty Hand, will destroy the works of evil conformity! Also, in God's great mercy and amazing grace, He has provided for us a way to enter the Kingdom of Heaven and be with Him, through His one and only begotten son, Jesus the Messiah! Amen, Amen, and Amen!

Q: What is the dimension of $R[[X]]$ where $R$ is a Noetherian ring? If $R$ is a Noetherian ring then we know that the Krull dimension of the polynomial ring $R[X]$ is $\rm dim(R)+1.$ Is there any formula for the Krull dimension of the power series ring $R[[X]] $ When $R$ is a Noetherian ring ?

A: When $R$ is Noetherian, then the same formula holds for polynomials and for power series:
$$
 \dim R[X] = \dim R[[X]] = \dim R + 1.
$$
A reference was given by user26857 in the comments; another one would be Matsumura's Commutative ring theory, Theorem 15.4.
It may be interesting to point out that this is not true anymore if $R$ is not required to be Noetherian.  In his 1973 paper Krull Dimension in Power Series Rings, J.T.Arnold gives examples of such rings where $\dim R$ is finite, but $\dim R[[X]]$ is infinite.

A: Note that the Chevalley dimension $s(R)$ of a local ring $(R, m)$ is the smallest
integer $r$ for which there exist $a_1, a_2,..., a_r \in m$ with
$lenght(R/(a_1, ...., a_r)M) <\infty$.
Fact1: Let $(R, m)$ be a Noetherian local ring. Then clearly
$R[[x]]$ is is local ring with maximal ideal $m'=<m,x>$.
Fact2: For a Noetherian local ring $(R,m)$ $dim (R)= s(R)$.
Fact3: Clearly $s(R)+1=s(R[[x]])$.
Fact4: For an arbitrary (non-local) commutative ring $R$,
$dim(R)=sup\{dim(R_m)| m$ is a maximal ideal of $R\}$.
Fact5: For a local ring $(R,m)$, we have $R[[x]]_{<m,x>}\cong
R_m[[x]]$.
By combining above facts we have:
$dim(R[[x]])=sup\{R[[x]]_{<m,x>}| m$ is a maximal ideal of
$R\}=\\
sup\{R_m[[x]]| m$ is a maximal ideal of $R\}=\\
sup\{R_m+1| m$ is a maximal ideal of $R\}=\\
sup\{R_m| m$ is a maximal ideal of $R}+1=dim(R)+1.
For more details see commutative algebra, by Gopalakrishnan,chapter 8.

YERINGTON –EThe federal government's environmental assessment of proposed solutions to saving Walker Lake is drawing fire from local officials.
Some claim there are serious flaws in the draft Walker River Basin environmental impact statement, released in January, and are asking for an independent review of the document.
In order to assess comments and consider changes, the Bureau of Land Management has delayed public release of the statement until July.
The Sierra Front-Northwestern Great Basin Resource Advisory Council will meet on Friday to review the study and make recommendations. The council serves an advisory board to the BLM on ecology-related land use issues.
Lyon County Commission Chairman and Smith Valley resident Phyllis Hunewill said the proposal to seek only the water below the two upstream dams (Topaz and Bridgeport reservoirs) is an attack on the irrigation district's water rights holders.
She also claims the assessment of the economic effects of removing additional water rights from agricultural lands is based on invalid information and would destroy the agricultural economy.
Hunewill also disagrees with information included in the socioeconomic portion of the document that states "There is no farmland 'Prime and Unique' present" within the basin and when the water is removed, the land will change to a higher use, the resultant taxes being a boost to the economy, when taken out of agricultural use.
Commissioner David Fulstone, a Mason and Smith valleys rancher, agrees with Hunewill.
On April 2 and 3, U.S. Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., will host a meeting of national and state elected officials and national environmental and conservation organizations to discuss solutions to saving Walker Lake. Hunewill has contacted Reid's staff, offering him an open invitation to meet with county commissioners to address Walker Lake and other issues.
Walker River Irrigation District Manager Ken Spooner also expressed dismay with the environmental statement and cautioned it could be detrimental to settlement talks taking place in the basin.
The federal government currently has no control over water allocations in the Walker River system. Many see the government's attempts to get the Lahontan cutthroat trout declared a threatened species as part of a ploy to give it the control necessary to put pressure on ranchers to sell their water rights. The plan's detractors see false assumptions leading to desired conclusions in the statement will provide the base the federal agencies need to proceed with procuring additional water.
The draft environmental statement is aimed at settling three issues: saving Walker Lake as a fresh water habitat; restoring the Lahontan cutthroat trout in the river's system; and resolving legal issues with the federal government, Walker River Paiute Tribe and water rights holders.
Under the auspices of the Bureau of Reclamation, the BLM is serving as the coordinator of the project. It contracted with the Desert Research Institute (a division of the University of Nevada system) to draft the statement.

The fundamentals of probability theory explained.
Probability theory is the likelihood of a certain event or outcome of the event, to understand probability one needs to understand risk and the associated risk that is implied within the outcome. In academic realms probability theory is a branch of mathematics concerned with the analysis of sporadically charged phenomenon.
The very reason why probability, much like betting and casino games, have always captured the imagination of the public is due to the fact that no random event or action can be predicted before it happens. With more than one possible outcome, the outcome itself is left completely up to chance.
In games of chance the interpretation of probabilities as relative frequencies can be studied in order to assess a group capture event class. Basic games of chance involving coins, cards, dice and roulette wheels can provide clarity on the fundamental foundations of probability theory.
The one feature unique to all games of chance is the fact that no one single outcome can be predicted with complete conviction unlike looking at historical factors influencing Caulfield Cup betting at the races.
The only kind of estimation or educated guess, like that in games of chance can be made from a collection of results taken from tested runs. These tests show signs of regularity, hinting at specific outcomes dominance over and above any other.
Within these tests the regularity never points to one outcome, neither does it not. The trial runs simply gather data and loosely base a premise on the data gathered within the tests.
For example; The Coin Toss Test. In a coin toss where heads is directly opposed to tails, heads versus tails implies a 50 per cent probability ratio between the two sides, purely because there are only two possible outcomes.
The probability, which exists by throwing two dice on to a table, has thirty-six possible outcomes. An ordered pair can represent each outcome. This ordered pair here is A. B. Now A.B assumes one of the dice values ranging from 1,2,3,4,5,6 and represents the faces on each individual dice.
In this probability test, it is important that each dice is thought of in distinguishable terms, by realising each individual dice as a different coloured dice, this allows for variances in the outcome, i.e. 1.2 is different to 2.1.
Now the event or outcome from all possible outcomes, by throwing the pair of dice on to the table and generating a number equating to six, consists of five potential outcomes. These five potential outcomes may take the form of a 1&5, 2&4, 3&3, 4&2 or 5&1.
If the probability of an event can be defined as the percentage based possibility of the defined outcome, then one can formulate probability with a simple equation.
To formulate probability, the probability of event X is the number of ways event X can occur, divided by the total number of possible outcomes to event X.
You have a standard deck of playing cards. What is the probability of drawing a face card?
There are four suits with three face cards in each suit. This is represented as 3×4, which equates to 12 face cards out of a total of 52 playing cards.
Therefore; 12/52 = 3/13 = 23.1 % probability.

Beartooth – Aggressive
Red Bull Records / UNFD
Hardcore, Metalcore
Vanna, ADTR, ETID.
Round #2 & nothing's changed.
Beartooth is a band that intersects many junctions of the heavy, alternative music scene, and as such, therein lays the root of their success. They're the trendy, rocking metalcore band that "true" hardcore kids can love without feeling like they've committed a cardinal sin. They're the band that metalcore scene queens can follow to feel totally hardcore and what not. They're also one of the few heavy bands that pop-punk aficionados can bring up in order up to look diverse and cool in front of their peers at shows, or whatever else those people do with their time.
After a fucking exceptional EP ('Sick'), and an above average full-length ('Disgusting'), The Caleb Shomo Road Show – AKA Beartooth – is back with their second album. And sweet baby Jesus does this album start off with a bang! The title track has a chorus that reaches dizzying heights, and the vocals and instruments strike with such venom that it was love at first sight for us. The eponymous track really is Beartooth putting their best foot forward first. It's just a shame that that momentum doesn't carry through. Cause you see, 'Aggressive' the song is fantastic. 'Aggressive' the album? Not so much.
For each of these 12 songs – from the ones we loved to the ones we didn't – this album is just so fucking formulaic. That was the same issue with 'Disgusting'. It's fine to be consistent in your sound and to understand your band's formula, and how to get the best out of it. Some bands, like Architects and Hatebreed for example, capitalise on this really well and have proved this to be true with their new albums respectively, while other such bands like The Amity Affliction and A Day To Remember, don't fare as well we find. Beartooth falls into this latter category, and that may have something to do with the fact that one member alone (no prizes for guessing who that is) writes basically all the music and has the final say over their sound (for better or worse).
From the second song 'Hated', to the penultimate 'Rock Is Dead', we really just went through the motions with this release. Songs like 'Censored', the angsty as all fuck 'Burnout' and the break-neck 'Always Dead' had us completely entranced. Yet the album goes on the back burner for songs like 'How You Want It Said', 'Sick Of Me' (which is basically 'In Between' from the last record), and 'Find A Way'. As such, a lot of time we were basically left with the audible equivalent of blue balls.
Beartooth seems to be at their best when they focus solely on the punk/hardcore side of their sound and when they shy away from the poppier moments. Sure, they can be pretty catchy at times, but catchy doesn't equal good. Now, I really dig how honest and cathartic the band's lyrics are, honest to god, but just because you have emotional lyrics doesn't mean you get a free pass with a glowing review.
The album's final track, 'King Of Anything', is a minimal, dark, and very cathartic song. This is frontman Caleb Shomo rejecting the golden pedestal in which the press and fans hold him up on, and how this fame has placed unexpected, external pressure on his shoulders. Basically, he's having it none of it and we're glad he's in a better headspace and had the guts to say it. It's a great song and it shows more thematic depth than the typical self-deprecating lyrics the band is well known for.
Finally, despite the name, we find it funny that this isn't as 'aggressive', as raw, or as punchy as 'Sick' was. That is arguably the band's best release to date, both in its production/mix and the music itself. Sure, the title refers to Shomo's positive state of mind currently (hence the reduction of self-hating lyrics and uplifting tone) but come on! When compared to their EP, which would have made Norma Jean blush profusely, this album's got nothing on it! Maybe if the band had released these songs over the course of a few EP's, they'd pop out more and would have more staying power, as brevity is the group's best interest. It'd probably be cheaper and less time consuming, too.
Just like 'Disgusting', Beartooth's second record is solid, but it's just ultimately not THAT good. Such a huge precedent was set with their 'Sick' EP and it's a real shame that they still haven't recaptured that quality with this new record. Every now and then the group really harnesses their noisy, chaotic sound and the music becomes truly on-point. But it's never consistent enough, and for every great song on 'Aggressive', there's an average track that holds it back.

Clemson escapes with win over Syracuse after injury to QB Trevor Lawrence
Sam Cooper
Yahoo Sports September 29, 2018, 7:25 PM UTC
Despite a nightmare scenario, No. 3 Clemson survived a huge scare from Syracuse.
The Tigers lost freshman quarterback Trevor Lawrence to injury in the second quarter, but they managed to come from behind and beat Syracuse, 27-23. Clemson trailed for the entire second half, but reclaimed the lead on a Travis Etienne touchdown run with 41 seconds to go. Etienne's score capped off a 13-play, 94-yard drive engineered by Chase Brice, who came on for the first significant action of his career in relief of Lawrence.
Brice made some mistakes along the way, but delivered his best pass of the game — a 20-yard connection with Tee Higgins — on fourth-and-6 from the Clemson 48 with 2:50 to go.
(via ABC)
Five plays later, Etienne, who rushed for a career-high 203 yards, scored his third touchdown of the game, ultimately giving Clemson a 27-23 win and Syracuse its first loss of the season.
Trevor Lawrence was injured in the second quarter and didn't return
Lawrence, in his first game as the Tigers' starting quarterback, took a hard hit to the head in the second quarter while trying to extend the play on third down. As Lawrence, who is replacing Kelly Bryant, stumbled to the turf, he was hit by Syracuse defensive back Evan Foster.
Trevor Lawrence took a hard hit to the head vs. Syracuse (via ESPN).
Here's another look, with Foster's shoulder hitting Lawrence right in the helmet:
(via ESPN)
Lawrence was down on the field briefly and was taken to the medical tent to be evaluated. He was then escorted to the locker room by Clemson medical staff. He did not return.
Lawrence exited with the Tigers trailing 13-7. With Bryant, a senior, making the decision to transfer, redshirt freshman Chase Brice entered the game as the team's backup quarterback.
What does this mean for Clemson?
Well, Clemson, now 5-0, has endured upset losses and still made it to the College Football Playoff in the past. In fact, the Tigers lost to the Orange last year and made the CFP, so it would not have been the end of the world. But it would have felt different considering the injury to Lawrence and the uncertainty surrounding it, notably how long he will be out.
While Brice showed flashes (he was a four-star recruit, after all), the Tigers' prospects are much better with Lawrence under center.
Kelly Bryant's transfer is much more magnified now
Lawrence, a five-star recruit who enrolled in January, began the season as Bryant's backup. Bryant was the team's starter last fall and led Clemson to the College Football Playoff, but Tigers coach Dabo Swinney gave Lawrence playing time in the team's first four games of the year.
Lawrence received the bulk of the playing time in the Week 4 win over Georgia Tech. On their first two drives of the game, the Tigers mustered just 13 total yards and one first down with Bryant at quarterback. With Lawrence in the game, Clemson scored on three of its next four drives. Lawrence finished the game 13-of-18 for 176 yards, four touchdowns and an interception. By comparison, Bryant, who re-entered the game with Clemson holding a big lead, was 6-of-10 for 56 yards.
On Monday, Swinney announced the change: Lawrence would start with Bryant as the backup. That did not sit well with Bryant, who decided to transfer a few days later. Since Bryant played in four games this year, the new redshirt rule allows Bryant, who already graduated from Clemson, to retain a season of eligibility. He will be able to play at another school next fall.
Meanwhile, that left the Tigers very thin behind Lawrence at quarterback. Brice was a four-star recruit in the 2017 class, but entered Saturday's game with just eight career passes. Now, he will lead the way for the Tigers until Lawrence's return.
Could Kelly Bryant return to the Clemson team?
Yes, but only if he is still enrolled as a Clemson student. According to the ABC broadcast, Bryant is indeed still enrolled. If that is the case, he would still be eligible to return to the field for the Tigers.
As Swinney returned to the field for the second half on Saturday, ESPN's Holly Rowe asked him if he'd let Bryant return to the team.
"Heck yeah," Swinney said. "I love that kid."

I am about the leave for Cannes, France. This is the most unprepared trip I had ever had. I was in full day meeting for two days, and till now, I don't know exactly where the place is, how to get there, which airline of flight, and what we are going to do there. Wendy is working to put everything together, which I am completely not aware of.
Is it a good thing? If it is, by what means? Not? By what means?
There are time that a trip to the local zoo can make me excited for days. Then the excitement was replaced by a city trip, or international trip. I had never been to France, and the Cannes Creative Festival is new to me – what it is about? No idea. When running on the fast track of any thing, you would like to keep the direction, and I will be much more delighted to be able to get back to office than getting onto a trip to Paris, Nice, Cannes, Barcelona, Madrid, and Rome. I just realized how hard people change their daily life, unless something force them.
I visited the Microsoft Zizhu campus, and met with many old friends – I didn't expect to see about 10 persons who joined Microsoft around my joining, and they are still there after more than 10 years.
I was a little bit sad though to see the current Microsoft is more like the Yahoo! Sunnyvale campus, than the office in my memory. The building quality is not good enough, and that surely does not justify the long distance from the downtown.
It is so rare – there are blue sky and clear air. I took this photo out of the window of our 18th floor office in Xujiahui.
Whenever I see city scene like this in Shanghai, I am thinking about climbing to the top of a skyscraper – either World Financial Center, or JW Marriott with my sketch book and draw something of this city.
I wrote about the Chinese provinces I visited. It is the time to do a summary about the world as I travelled – the foreign countries I set my foot on. The life is a long journey, and many people believe it is endless, and they always have a chance to visit every country of the world. Not likely to happen. If that is something I really get interested, set a plan for it.
Again, as the rule of the last time, transition without a night stay does not count. That promptly remove Korea and Japan from the list.
A very small list compare to many other people at my age. Need to continue to find opportunities to get there and interact with people, to build more knowledge about the world, and continue to shape my thinking.


The price of stamps is set to rise - and here's how much you'll be paying.
1st class stamp are to rise by 3p to 70p.
And a 2nd class stamp will also go up by 3p, to 61p, Royal Mail has announced.
The increases will take effect from March 25.
The hikes will help ensure the sustainability of the universal postal service, the company said.
Royal Mail said it had reviewed the changes "very carefully".
It says it has been seeking to minimise any impact on customers.
Despite the increase, Royal Mail says: "The UK also has one of the highest quality of service specifications of any major European country."
The company said in a statement: "Royal Mail understands that many companies and households are finding it hard in the current economic environment.
"As a result, we have considered any pricing changes very carefully and in doing so have sought to minimise any impact on our customers."
The increase will come into effect on 25 March.
Royal Mail also made changed to its re-direction prices.
"From March 25, pricing will be based on the number of applicants rather than on a per-surname basis to be more reflective of modern society," the company said.

Almost nothing surprises Donald Trump, by crazy as it may seem. Donald Trump will become the next president of the United States and on next January 2017, Trump will come to power thanks in part to his populist ideas and comments, which have no real support and are based on simplifications of complex ideas.
However, the Cybersecurity has been one of those topics covered by populist techniques, since the President-elect of the United States of America, Donald Trump know almost everything about computers, technology, and security.
Despite the little idea that can have Donald Trump on cybersecurity, it is true that such threats are increasingly present in every country in the world. Russia itself hacked into the US Democratic Party, filtering a large number of emails that have appeared in Wikileaks in recent months.
In order to protect the country, the current administration of the Barack Obama has recommended the future administration of Donald Trump to train 100,000 white hat hackers ('ethical' or 'good') simply to protect the United States from the cyber attacks that can receive from the other foreign countries. So, it is assumed that the target of so many hackers would be fulfilled in 2020.
The reason behind this recommendation is that the best hackers are just fleeing to the private sector because the salary is higher, thus, they are not staying at the best in front of the defense of the country. There are few security experts today, and industry demand worldwide has soared, especially in more developed countries.
In addition, to train these hackers, among other recommendations to the future government of Donald Trump, it is to be created incentives for private companies to create safer products, as this will be achieved by reducing the margin of vulnerability that can have the country.
But, if no incentives are created, then the device manufacturers will be considered guilty if manufactured unsafe products and therefore they should be penalized.
Barack Obama said in a statement "Agencies are increasingly centralizing their cybersecurity efforts and relying on the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for shared services like vulnerability detection, network discovery and monitoring, intrusion detection and prevention, and cybersecurity assessments of high priority IT systems. Consolidating DHS' cybersecurity and infrastructure protection missions within a single DHS line agency—as my Administration has proposed, and as the Commission recommends—would further strengthen DHS' ability to support federal and critical infrastructure cybersecurity".
He also added that "In total, the Commission's recommendations affirm the course that this Administration has laid out, but make clear that there is much more to do and the next Administration, Congress, the private sector and the general public need to build on this progress. Deepening public-private cooperation will help us better protect critical infrastructure and respond to cyber incidents when they occur. Expanding the use of strong authentication to improve identity management will make all of us more secure online. Increasing investments in research and development will improve the security of products and technologies. Investing in human capital, education, and the productivity of the cybersecurity workforce will ensure that this country's best and brightest are helping us stay ahead of the cybersecurity curve. Continuing to prioritize and coordinate cybersecurity efforts across the federal government will ensure that this critical challenge remains a top national security priority. And furthering the promotion of international norms of responsible state behavior will ensure that the global community is able to confront the ever-evolving threats we face".
However, some people pointed out that the board did not properly stress the significance of encryption, encoding information so that it's kept secured from the criminals and from the spies as well.

Open Very Carefully
Nick Bromley (text) & Nicola O'Byrne (illustrations)
(Nosy Crow)
If you think you are settling down for a lovely quiet storytime reading The Ugly Duckling, think again. The book and its tale has been invaded by a crocodile and he is not very happy about being stuck inside! It is up to reader and the little cygnet to help the crocodile find a way out, which is no plain sailing.
Reminiscent of Emily Gravett's Wolves and Mélanie Watt's Chester which also have characters highjacking a story that does not belong to them, Open Very Carefully has the added bonus that it draws the reader in for a fully interactive tale. The narrator talks directly to the reader throughout the book and he is even asked to actively participate in the story, such as shake the book to try to make the crocodile fall out. The text is witty and fun, building up tension yet always playing it down eventually, allowing the tale to have a pinch of peril without being too threatening. The cygnet echoes the readers' potential worries: "I wasn't scared. Were you?"; like him children often play down their own fears when seeking reassurance.
The artwork helps support this engaging text wonderfully – O'Byrne showcases two distinctive illustrative styles which help discern the characters and their nature: the crocodile is all bold lines and colours which match his grumpiness and slight aggression, while the cygnet is all soft lines and muted colours which help convey his good nature and kind personality. When alongside each other, the two characters really look like they belong to different books. The artwork is dynamic which helps support the overall brisk and action-packed feel of the tale.
The resolution of the story will delight little readers and is aesthetically perfectly accomplished. Though the ending remains resolutely open-ended; is that naughty crocodile going to turn up in other story books?
Open Very Carefully is a great story which lends itself to dynamic and interactive storytelling. It will hopefully encourage little readers to "play" with stories and urge adult readers to look beyond the page when reading stories.
A great read for World Book Day (which is on Thursday, in case you did not know)!

I just LOVE this book, as do the boys. I am going into C's nursery to do a storytelling session (with related activities) for World Book Day on Thursday and this is one of the books I am using. I've been holding off reviewing it myself so I can share how the children respond to it – I'm hoping they love it as much as we do!
Great review by the way, as always 🙂
Playing by the book	March 5, 2013
The very first time I read this all I could think of was Chester, and that got in the way of my enjoyment, but subsequent readings, especially with the girls, showed me how much fun this book is. I'll definitely be using it in my group sessions.
Library Mice	March 5, 2013
Thank you Loll, let us know how your session goes! What other books are you using?
Zoe, it is the marker bit that makes it so similar to Chester, but the rest of the story is actually very different. I love Chester, but I think it is out of print these days (we have it in French).
I'm also using 'Iggy Peck, Architect' and 'Press Here'. All three books are very popular in our house!

Hospitals up charity careCritics not impressed with bigger numbers for treating the poor
by Mike Colias
Scrutinized for their charitable practices, Chicago-area hospitals doled out more free medical care for the poor last year, but not enough to silence critics.
The area's 20 largest hospitals and health systems boosted spending on charity care by 30% to $187.4 million, annual reports filed with Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan show. When that care is measured as a percentage of revenue, Northwestern Memorial Healthcare is one of the most generous large hospitals, while Rush University Medical Center ranks as one of the stingiest. [Scroll down to view entire list.]
However, all fell short of the mark U.S. Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, floated last month as a threshold for federal tax exemptions: free care equal to 5% of revenue. The average among Chicago-area hospitals was 1.4%, up from 1% in 2005. (Hospitals argue charity care is just one measure of goodwill.)
Hospitals are on the defensive as the national debate intensifies over whether they do enough to earn the generous tax breaks they have long had. Non-profit status shields hospitals from billions of dollars in income and property taxes and provides tax-free financing for big capital projects. The debate is especially hot in Illinois, where three hospitals were stripped of local property tax exemptions and Ms. Madigan is pressing for tougher standards.
"Hospitals will need to fight to show the value they provide in exchange for their tax exemptions," says Michael Peregrine, a health care attorney at McDermott Will & Emery LLP in Chicago.
Financial strength had little bearing on hospitals' generosity. The biggest spenders include one of the poorest, Mount Sinai Health System on the West Side; one of the richest, Northwestern in Streeterville, and south suburban St. James Hospital & Health Centers, which serves low- and middle-income patients.
BAD DEBT
At the bottom is Rush, with $3.4 million in free-care costs — just 0.4% of its $895.8 million in revenue. Rush actually increased its charity care 36% as its revenue rose 1% in 2006.
Patient revenue rose 4% to $14.3 billion for the top 20 hospitals.
Rush attributes the low number to aggressive efforts to find public-aid coverage for patients who otherwise would have been booked as charity cases. Also, potential charity cases often are recorded as bad debt, a spokesman says.
St. James boosted free care almost 40% last year, to $9.1 million, in part by using credit reports to identify more patients who qualify for charity, Chief Financial Officer Thomas Senesac says.
Critics want hospitals to clear a measurable hurdle to earn tax exemptions. Today, the standard at state and federal levels is fuzzy: Hospitals must show they provide a "community benefit," which can include expenses such as training medical students and sponsoring local fun runs.
Ms. Madigan wasn't impressed with the uptick in charity care among Chicago hospitals last year.
"While the very minimal increase in charity care that these numbers may reflect is better than nothing, it still shows the hospitals are failing to comply with the standard set in Illinois law," a spokeswoman says.
Looking only at the cost of free care disregards other ways in which hospitals serve the indigent, says Howard Peters, senior vice-president at the Illinois Hospital Assn. Many lose tens of millions of dollars a year on unpaid bills that are recorded as bad debt.
But many of those expenses could have been booked as charity if patients had provided the proper paperwork, Mr. Peters says.
Hospitals also lose money on treating patients covered by Medicaid and other public-aid programs, which generally don't pay enough to cover costs — a shortfall the industry vehemently argues should count. Illinois hospitals lost more than $2 billion treating public-aid patients last year, accounting for almost half of the $4.2 billion in community benefits the industry reported to Ms. Madigan's office.
Opinions differ on whether Congress will revise tax-exemption rules. Mr. Peregrine doubts there is wide support among lawmakers for Mr. Grassley's 5% proposal, though he says the Republican's dogged pursuit of the issue is forcing many hospitals to redouble their charitable efforts.
Others think tougher rules loom.
"There's going to be major changes to the federal standard for tax exemption," says James Unland, president of Health Capital Group, a Chicago-based consultancy. "Hospitals need to take this very seriously."


German music companies have decided to abolish the prestigious Echo Awards after a rapper duo won the award despite being accused of singing anti-Semitic lyrics. The scandal has prompted many musicians to return their awards.
The music awards should "by no means" be seen as a "platform for anti-Semitism, sexism, homophobia or downplaying of violence," the statement adds. It also said that the BVMI would hold a "workshop" in June to develop a completely new concept for a music award.
These facts, however, did not prevent the rapper duo from winning the award, which, by coincidence, they received on April 12 – Holocaust Remembrance Day in Israel. This development immediately provoked a wave of indignation from many musicians. Campino, the lead singer of veteran German punk band Die Toten Hosen, lashed out at the rappers' victory during the Echo Awards ceremony, receiving a standing ovation from the audience.
Conductor Enoch zu Guttenberg and Andreas Reiner, a violinist with the KlangVerwaltung Orchestra, then wrote an open letter to the BVMI, in which they called the latest award ceremony a "shame." Many prominent figures in the music industry, including musician, producer and designer of artwork for the Beatles, Klaus Voormann, pianist Igor Levit and German rock star Marius Mueller-Westernhagen, returned their Echo awards in protest.
Daniel Barenboim, a Jewish star conductor and the general music director of the Berlin State Opera, who also returned his Echo awards, denounced the BVMI decision. He also lashed out at the lyrics of the rappers by saying that it was an "abuse" of the freedom of expression.
Even some people not directly linked to the music industry criticized the BVMI decision. Airbus CEO Tom Enders said that it "hurts Germany's international reputation," while Mathias Doepfner, the CEO of the Axel Springer publishing house that controls the German Bild and Die Welt dailies, criticized it in an opinion piece for Die Welt.
The scandal around the music awards occurred at a time when the issue of anti-Semitism came into focus in Germany once again. On April 16, Adam Armush, an Israeli Arab, and his friend were attacked in Berlin, apparently because Armush was wearing a kippah – a traditional Jewish head garment. In response, both local Jews and non-Jews staged a protest dubbed "Berlin wears a kippah," which was supported in other cities. On April 23, German Chancellor Angela Merkel admitted that her country faces a new form anti-Semitism brought by refugees and people of Arab origin. Since 2015, more than a million migrants from predominantly Muslim countries have entered Germany, thanks to Merkel's open-door policy, during the Europe-wide refugee crisis. The influx caused a strong backlash and a rise in popularity of right-wing anti-immigration politicians.
