Three differently abled young Londoners inspire audiences, filmmakers, and even Sir Tom Jones with relentless humor, fearless performances, and a burning passion.
Pretty much from the moment our trans-Atlantic Skype video call begins, 19-year-old AutistiX bassist Luke Steels is busting chops. He begins with mine. Unsure whether Premier Guitar is known to him and the other core members of the London-based band on the call—20-year-old guitarist Jack Beaven-Duggan, 22-year-old drummer Saul Zur-Szpiro, and 35-year-old vocalist/bandleader/mentor Jim Connelly—I begin by introducing myself and asking if they've heard of PG.
"I've heard of it too many times," Luke deadpans.
Band manager Susan Zur-Szpiro, Saul's mom, immediately chimes in from somewhere offscreen, "You can tell he's the band joker."
I'm not fazed. Having witnessed Luke's spur-of-the-moment humor in multiple YouTube videos—including a touching 10-minute documentary by The Guardian that begins with him saying what a "miserable" experience it is being in the AutistiX, and another clip of a charity-gala performance where he decides to invite legendary singer Tom Jones onstage—I'm fully expecting a call full of playful banter and good-natured ribbing. On that score, Luke does not disappoint: At various points in our call the tall, robust guitarist who reluctantly dons a 4-string for the AutistiX will joke about just about everything—from his bandmates' supposed regret about inviting him into their group, to killing Jack if he ever finds out he's a Justin Bieber fan, and listening to Motörhead while in the womb.
It's not just Luke's antics that are grabbing the AutistiX all sorts of attention around the world, though. For starters, Jack, Luke, and Saul—each of whom has been diagnosed with at least one type of autism spectrum disorder (ASD)—are fearless performers with a deep passion for music. Case in point: They didn't bother approaching Sir Tom Jones beforehand about joining them onstage. When the obviously surprised and nervous crooner of hits like "She's a Lady" and "It's Not Unusual" finally joined them and was informed they'd be playing the Beatles' "Help," he explained he'd never sung it before but would do his best, then quickly popped a throat lozenge. To uproarious laughter, Jack then reassured Jones through the mic for all to hear: "Always believe in yourself." ("I thought it [the lozenges] was cyanide pills, personally," Luke quips during our call. "That's an extreme way to get out of it.")
But the AutistiX are turning heads at least as much because of their inspiring story. And it's not just showing up in feel-good local newspaper pieces, either. It's resonating with everyday people. It's resonating with musicians and artists. (Filmmaker Eddie Sternberg based a central character in his I Used to Be Famous—a contender for Best British Short at the recent Leeds International Film Festival—on Saul Zur-Szpiro.) It's resonating because it's an unlikely coming together of simultaneously unique yet typical young men who defy stereotypes and refuse to be fenced in by their challenges. That might sound cheesy and cliché, but a closer look reveals that it's probably an understatement.
"Always believe in yourself." —AutistiX guitarist Jack Beaven-Duggan to legendary singer Tom Jones
Still in the Shadows
In the last decade or so, society has come a long way in understanding and accepting people with ASDs. Positive steps include the recent unveiling of an autistic Muppet named Juliaon the long-running children's program Sesame Street, as well as occasional spot-on media portrayals such as NBC's depiction of the young Max Braverman character, a boy with Asperger's syndrome, in the Parenthood series that ran from 2010 until early 2015.
That said, unless you're close to someone with an ASD, there's a good chance the word "autism" primarily conjures vague memories of the debunked theory that autism is caused by mercury-tainted vaccinations. Or perhaps two-dimensional stereotypes so prevalent in movies and TV shows, where more often than not autistics are weirdoes who can't carry on a conversation but are mind-boggling math geniuses or expert memorizers. It's no wonder the mystery remains, though. According to the latest statistics from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, only about 1.5 percent of American children have an ASD. And The Lancet, one of the country's oldest and most respected medical journals, estimated in 2013 that only about 22 million people are afflicted worldwide. It's common enough to register as a hazy blip on everyone's radar, but rare enough to keep the condition misunderstood and in the shadows.
The lack of awareness isn't due to a complete lack of truth in popular stereotypes about autism. The problem is that most aren't familiar with the "S" in ASD—the more accurate way of referring to the condition. Broadly defined, autism is a disorder of the brain and central nervous system that impairs social interaction and communication—verbal and nonverbal—and is often accompanied by repetitive behaviors and preoccupation with very specific interests. The word "spectrum" denotes a wide range of variation within a group of subjects that share some core commonalities. But the thing is, even autistics and their loved ones grapple with the spectrum concept. Sometimes the symptoms are so subtle or so confined to a specific area of difficulty that they're often not diagnosed and treated for years. Sometimes youth with ASDs agonize in silence and isolation while parents overlook difficult-to-detect cues or misread behavior and think, "It's just a phase." Or worse, mete out punishment when troubling behaviors arise rather than responding with love and committing to finding help.
While travails vary widely for ASD sufferers and their families, they share two key things in common: feelings of powerlessness and frustration, and heartbreak over how difficult it can be for autistics to form the sorts of meaningful friendships every human craves.
Behind the Smiles
Onstage and off, Saul, Luke, and Jack appear to the average observer as nothing if not upbeat. Who wouldn't be happy rocking in the limelight and getting attention from journalists and independent filmmakers? But just like the rest of us , the AutistiX autistics don't necessarily wear their troubles on their sleeves. If they did—if the true extent of their struggles were apparent—chances are society would be quite different.
AutistiX prankster Luke has been diagnosed with attention deficit disorder (ADD), oppositional defiant disorder (ODD)—defined by the American Psychiatric Association's diagnostic manual as "a pattern of angry/irritable mood, argumentative/defiant behavior, or vindictiveness lasting at least six months"—and high-functioning (i.e., relatively mild) autism. Jack has Asperger's syndrome, a condition that impedes normative social interactions due to inhibited capacity to perceive and process nonverbal interpersonal cues. Asperger's is also typically accompanied by extreme focus on niche interests, and reflexive urges to engage in unusually repetitive physical movements or sounds (also called stimming).
Drummer Saul faces even greater challenges. Besides having low-functioning (severe) autism, he's essentially blind, has intense difficulty speaking, and cannot feed or clothe himself, among other serious health issues.
"When Saul was young, he couldn't do very much of anything, to be honest," says Susan. "We used to call him our living doll." Although he also suffers from hyperacusis—meaning he can experience fierce pain and agitation from environmental noises such as barking dogs, car horns, and crying babies—Saul surprised his parents as a child by perking up when he heard rhythms and repetitive sounds such as football chants, the doorbell, or music played at various support groups. An epiphany came one day about 12 years ago when Saul's sister's guitar teacher picked him up and sat down behind his other two sisters' drum kit.
"He could barely reach the pedals or hold the sticks," Susan recalls, "but it was really one of those light-bulb moments. His eyes lit up like I had never seen before. In that moment, I realized drumming could be something for him."
Given Saul's physical limitations, however, realizing this epiphany took some serious workarounds. "He was very weak and tiny for his age," Susan continues. "He couldn't hold the sticks, so we had to use Velcro. And he couldn't reach the pedal of the bass drum, so we got something to build it up."
After taking lessons from a general music teacher for a while, Saul progressed to a dedicated drum instructor. "At some point, that teacher said music wasn't something you should do in isolation. It took about another year before I felt Saul could cope with being in a group [because of his hyperacusis]." But now, Susan explains, "the music is stratospheric—it's everything for him." Indeed, watch Saul in action and you'll see he couldn't hide his joy and enthusiasm if he tried.
"Looking at him, people have an expectation of what he's able to do—whether it's family members who have seen him only in a social setting, or people who see what he looks like and see him being physically led to the drum kit because of his impairments. But when they see him pick up his sticks and start playing, they're absolutely blown away."

The GenesiS
AutistiX singer and bandleader Jim Connelly has been working with autistic-spectrum groups for more than 15 years now and specializes in music workshops for newly diagnosed children. However, he fell into it all rather accidentally. His first encounter with ASD kids was supposed to be a requirement while studying performing arts in college.
"To be honest I was, like, 'I'm not doing this!'" he admits sheepishly. "I didn't do the [coursework] or work within the learning difficulty sector. I wasn't mature enough at the time. This was when I was, like, 17."
A few years later, in 2001, Jim found himself working in the field after a regulation change in Britain resulted in a lot of formerly hospitalized ASD patients being released to be treated at local community centers. "Initially, I was a support worker in either daycare centers or homes, and in the evening I'd go rock out in different bands. Around that time, I was working with a label called Mint Source that's now called Pure Mint Records.
"It didn't really dawn on me until about four years ago [in 2010] that maybe the two might correlate with one another," he explains. "I remember the first day I met Jack and we were talking about music. Literally a week after that, it was put forward that we could use the [group meeting] space as a rehearsal space." Jim soon met Saul, an acquaintance of Jack's, and within a week the three were rehearsing. Before long, a young man with Asperger's joined them on keytar. "It was basically me, Andreas, Saul, and Jack jamming and not really thinking about gigs or world domination or anything like that. It was just a really nice space to get together and for them to express themselves. Since then, being in the AutistiX for me is a two-hours-per-week rehearsal, and then we might have a gig or two per month."
By Susan's count, the band plays 20 to 25 gigs per year, including an annual Beatles charity festival and multiple functions around London. They recently completed a one-week tour of Germany, they've gone on jaunts to Spain, and they have two EPs—Butterflies & Demons and Just the Same/Something Better—for sale on iTunes. Susan credits Jim for making it all possible.
"Jim is really exceptional, both because of his professional experience and his personality," she says. "His level of understanding and the way he facilitates creating the music is incredible. He's very democratic, very good at encouraging. It's very non-hierarchical—we don't have any power plays. He tries to nurture the talent of everybody in the band."
"I like the family dynamic," says Jim. "The challenges I might have with Saul physically or maybe with Luke sometimes, those just make it 10 times better, really."
Not Gilmour and Waters
Asked what their favorite part about being in the AutistiX is, the bandmates' answers are virtually unanimous—though of course each has his unique way of putting it. "It's really just playing with these guys at gigs," says Luke, "and also not having a band I get into an argument with every five seconds. That's one way that we're not like Pink Floyd."
"My favorite thing about being in the AutistiX," says Jack, "is … any of us can bring in songs we've written in our spare time. Everyone takes part in it, making it into a better song."
Saul's answer is short but emphatic: "Perform and gig," followed by, "Jack and Luke." His sister Mia, also on the call, adds, "These guys are his closest friends. I think he also loves having his own songs—he always says the titles of his songs. I think he loves having that sense of ownership and creativity, not just enjoying the music, but making music."
Anything but Beliebers
So which artists influence the music these guys write together? It couldn't get much more diverse. "My favorite singer, easily, is Otis Redding," says Jim. "And by far my favorite British act is Radiohead, because their albums keep getting better and better. I suppose my connection with Jack and Saul is, when I was growing up, I used to think I was [Oasis lead singer] Liam Gallagher."
Jack—whose main gear consists of a Fender Modern Player Jaguar, a Vox AC30, and MXR Distortion+ and Chorus pedals—loves Oasis, Green Day, Feeder, Linkin Park, and the Gaslight Anthem. For Saul, Bruce Springsteen is tops, followed in no particular order by the Beatles, Nirvana, British singer-songwriters like George Ezra and Will Young, and a bunch of ampersand bands—Crosby, Stills & Nash, Simon & Garfunkel, and Mumford & Sons.
"You're the metalhead, aren't you?" I ask Luke, whose gear includes Traben Phoenix and Kramer Focus basses, and a Behringer US600 Ultra Shifter/Harmonist pedal that he uses to send split signals to two Fender Mustang amps. (He's also quite proud of his new Gibson Les Paul Junior 6-string.) "I have a broad taste," he begins. "Yes there's the metal side of things. Black Sabbath, Metallica—I do like a bit of mosh pit now and then. Apart from, like, a lot of angry music, it's stuff like the Prodigy and Pendulum.And one that we like and know quite well is a Britpop band called Menswear. I'm also quite a big fan of Muse."
I mention having interviewed Muse bassist Chris Wolstenholme years ago, and he replies, "Don't tell him my opinion on Drones—that was a bit disappointing."
Jack chimes in, "They say I look like Matt Bellamy from Muse when I've got my hair up."
Luke razzes him, "Or a bad version of Charlie Sheen."
When we get the conversation back on track I find out there's even more diversity in the band's sound since Jack's dad, John Duggan, and Saul's dad, Michael Zur-Szpiro, respectively, began adding rhythm-guitar and harmonica duties. John, a child of the '60s, grew up on Invasion bands like the Stones and Kinks, as well as the Jam, Sex Pistols, the Clash, the Pretenders, and Motown and Stax records. Harp player Michael prefers the Stones and Chicago blues—especially Muddy Waters. Unsurprisingly, he and Susan grew up listening to many of the bands Saul cites as influences, though he's also into American indie-folk outfit Beirut, and Baltimore dream-pop duo Beach House. He's also careful to point out a crucial, behind-the-scenes influence that often gets overlooked.
"Without Susan this band wouldn't happen," he says matter-of-factly, adding with a chuckle. "She gets the gigs, keeps them together, and imposes the discipline she's failed to impose on me over 40 years. We're both too old to rock and roll but we're also too young to die, so this is how we live. We live through these young kids and make great music."
A Foreign Concept
One thing Susan never has to worry about as she keeps the AutistiX train on the tracks is whether lack of confidence will derail things once the band hits the stage. "People tend to ask us about stage fright," she says, "but that's one of the things that we have never, ever experienced with the band—whether it's a small gig of 40 people or over a thousand. They just love to perform."
I ask them what their secret is. Luke is first to answer.
"Well, I would like to say a lot of alcohol."
Susan quickly cuts in, "It's not—he doesn't drink."
"I'd like to say that…."
"That's my answer," Jim says dryly.
"I think they just don't have a sense of being judged," Susan explains. "Whether they're alone in a room or on a stage, the rewards are kind of the same."
"I think when I'm onstage it's living proof that, even if you are the kind of person who needs to cut down on the pies, you can still do this." Luke, of course.
Saul's sister Mia joins in again. "A lot of other bands seem autistic—in terms of the stereotype—when they stand there awkwardly, don't look at anyone, and try to act all cool. These guys are just chatty and 'Whatever.'"
"If people come to see a show," says Luke, "why not give it to them?"
I ask what they're thinking about before going onstage.
Luke: "I'm usually thinking 'What am I having for dinner?'"
Jim breaks a his long silence. "Every band has their own format for warming up, but Jack and Luke especially like to run up and down."
"Jump up and down," says Jack.
"We were playing in Spain," Jim continues, "and they were running up and down a courtyard. That's always about half an hour before a gig, isn't it?"
"I tend to think in terms of how the show might go," Jack adds, "and about some positive messages as well—like, 'Thank you for coming, you're a great audience.'"
"Saul is just dying to perform," says Susan. "As soon as they've done a gig, he wants to know when the next one's going to be. He just loves being onstage. Sometimes he's not in very good health and he'll arrive at a venue looking green, exhausted—like he doesn't have an ounce of energy—but get him behind the drum kit, and it brings him back to life."
Time to Jam
As our video call pushes past the 70-minute mark, I witness first-hand the sort of anticipation Susan speaks of. The call has gone longer than expected, and Saul seems increasingly antsy to head into the other room, sit behind his black four-piece Pearl kit, and get working on tunes he and his bandmates—his family, his friends for life—will be performing live in a couple of days.
It's been one of the most fulfilling interviews of my career, and I close with a sincere thank you to the close-knit group sitting before me in a comfy-looking rustic kitchen some 4,000 miles away.
Naturally, Luke doesn't miss a beat.
"You're welcome. Some people say that before you can judge someone, you have to walk a mile in their shoes. Do this and then you'll be a mile away—and you'll also have their shoes."

In a bold move, MIPS is offering its eponymous instruction-set architecture (ISA) to developers without any license fees or royalties. The strategy, called MIPS Open, is an attempt to boost interest in and usage of the venerable architecture while balancing the company's need to maintain a revenue stream. The MIPS Open community is now on line, and the company has formed a committee to advise on managing the ISA and developing future extensions.
More than 8.5 billion MIPS chips have shipped over three decades, showing that the ISA is production ready and built to handle a variety of applications ranging from microcontrollers and workstations to networking and automotive safety. During this time, the team has developed a broad instruction set with extensions to support this range of systems. MIPS Open comprises Release 6, the most recent version of the full ISA.
The company will also release one of its older CPU cores, microAptiv, with a similar no-fee license. This core is similar to Cortex-M4 in performance and DSP extensions, but Arm users must pay a license fee for the M4 and other recent CPUs. MIPS continues to offer other MIPS cores, including newer M-series models as well as the more powerful I- and P-series, under standard licensing terms and fees.
The open-source RISC-V architecture has built considerable momentum in the past two years, but MIPS Open boasts considerable advantages. For example, RISC-V currently provides few ISA extensions, although additional extensions are in the committee process. To avoid software fragmentation, MIPS Open offers a certification process, which RISC-V lacks. MIPS Open also includes a greater degree of patent protection. These characteristics will particularly appeal to large companies that want to avoid high ISA license fees but are uncomfortable with RISC-V.

Fury warned Canelo's training partner Sanchez will end his unbeaten record
WorldEuropeSport
Frank Sanchez is rapidly working his way up the heavyweight division, with the 29-year-old Cuban currently ranked 6th in the world by the WBC.
He trains with Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez and is tipped to defeat an unbeaten Tyson Fury if they fight. Today by manager Mike Borao.

Sanchez could soon be preparing himself for a shot at Fury's WBC titlecredit: Reuters
Sánchez was the co-main event for Fury versus Wilder III, defeating Efe Ajagba by unanimous decision to extend his record to 19–0.
And Borao believes Sanchez is the man who will deliver the first defeat on an unbeaten Fury, whose record currently stands at 31 wins and one draw.
They told sky game: "Frank Sanchez is one of the most active high-profile fighters today.
"Frank was the co-main event for Fury vs. Wilder III, has participated in Canelo's pay-per-view fights, and is now the co-main event for the Charles Martin vs. Luis Ortiz pay-per-view fight.
"His rise has been extraordinary, as well as his undeniable talent. I think Frank Sanchez beat Tyson Fury today."
The Gypsy King has yet to confirm his next opponent after his sensational defeat to Deontay Wilder in October.
But he could soon find himself in a bout with Sanchez if the 6ft 4in 'Cuban Flash' continues on his current trajectory.
Borao continued: "With Frank's current pace, I have no doubt that he will become the No. 1 contender in short order.
"The day Frank Sanchez gets his chance and fights for the world title, he becomes the heavyweight champion."
Sanchez returns to the ring on New Year's Day against Carlos Negron as he works his way towards the world title shot.
Meanwhile Fury is expected to fight again in the spring of next year.
Dillian White, 33, and Joe Joyce, 36, are among the contenders to take out The Gypsy King.
Fans are desperate for a reunification bout between the winner of Fury and Anthony Joshua versus Oleksandr Usyk II, possibly on the cards for the end of 2022.
But Fury himself tells AJ to step aside and let him fight the Ukrainian Usyk.
Although recently speaking on his next opponent, Fury said: "I'm not really interested, because to be honest, it doesn't really matter much who I want to fight at the moment.
"Who is it available and what makes sense later."
Tyson Fury urges Anthony Joshua to let him fight Usyak next for fear of a British showdown if he loses again

Yes, it's C-O-L-D, but that shouldn't keep you from enjoying the outdoors. There are plenty of ways to extend the season of your outdoor living space. From fire pits and fireplaces to outdoor heaters to blankets, you can stay warm and enjoy those starlit nights even in January. A wood burning fire pit serves as a great gathering spot for those who enjoy sitting close to the heat source. It's easy to circle around the pit with a cup of hot chocolate, a glass of wine or a good sipping bourbon. Even if most of your group is inside, once they see that fire lit, they will gravitate to the outdoors. Options are enormous and there's something for every style and taste.

Burton News
Tatenhill man who works in Leeds may have to wait months to sell his house as road closes yet again
Branston Road has only just reopened and now it is set to close for another three months
Jenny MoodySenior reporter
A father-of-two who was hoping to sell his house to be closer to his job in Leeds has been left feeling "like a boxer on the ropes" as a major road between Tatenhill and Branston is set to close again.
Rob Walker, of Branston Road, Tatenhill, has faced months of misery due to road closures in the village as work is carried out on the roads to make sure they are ready for the opening of a new school in September 2018.
Working in Leeds means that his commute to work is already an hour and 45 minutes but the closures have added another 10 to 15 minutes to his journey. The 52-year-old has been doing this drive three or four times a week for three years, with the plan to move to Leeds when his youngster daughter, Helena, finished her A-levels at John Taylor High School, in Barton under Needwood.
Rob Walker may now have to wait longer to put his house on the market due to three months of road closures in Tatenhill
Eighteen-year-old Helena is now set to head off to university and this was the time the family planned to put the house on the market.
After returning from holiday at the beginning of August, the family breathed a sigh of relief to find the road had reopened but now they face further disruption after receiving a letter saying the road is going to be closed again for another three months.
Staffordshire County Council said the major works will involve the removal of an existing road, construction of a new road and roundabout, and a new footway and cycleway.
Branston Road finally reopens as latest pictures of housing development are revealed
The extensive nature of the works mean that Branston Road will be closed to traffic between September 11 and November 14.
The banker, who has an older daughter Bethan who is studying at university, said: "My circumstances are very unique with me living in Tatenhill and working in Leeds, but quite a few people will commute to Derby or will be going north and they will face some problems. It does add 10 miles to my daily commute.
"I was an objector to the plans for the school and I still am as I think it is the wrong place to build it. But I have lost that argument. I was aware there would be a need for another road closure for them to sort out the sharp bend as they have not resolved that yet but this is going to be a nightmare for months to be honest.
"I feel like a boxer on the ropes and I am being punched but cannot seem to get away from the ropes. Because of individual circumstances with me working in Leeds and the long commute, we had planned to put the house on the market when my daughter had finished her A-levels so we couldn't really move until now.
"I spoke to an estate agent about putting it on the market and then out of the blue this letter came. Clearly if nothing else it will be more difficult to get people to visit the property as they will have to go a round about way to get here.
"When they do get here they are going to ask about why the road is closed and then we will have to tell them about the school.
Branston Road will be closed for another three months
"I don't know what we are going to do about it. I am going to talk to the estate agent again and see what they have to say. If it is not going to work and people won't come then we are just going to have to think again.
"Every time my wife wants to go shopping or to Morrisons she has to go on a five or six mile detour to get there. I know it is not the biggest thing in the world to have to go an extra few miles, but it is a pain.
"Over the last months we have put up with it with the great British spirit. It is a very, very big inconvenience and there are issues of extra time, extra travel and extra costs.
Misery continues for Walton residents as we enter third day of St Peter's Bridge closure
"It is more a fact of circumstances as I was fully intending to put the house on the market now and it is not as attractive as it was. People will be not willing to look at it and if they are they are not going to be willing to buy it or offer us a lower price which we don't want."
The closure of Branston Road has led to longer commutes for people living in the village
Mr Walker lives around 300 yards from the site of the new school and normally it is just a short drive for him into Burton, along Branston Road. However, now he is having to take a five to six mile detour via Barton under Needwood or Anslow and Stretton.
Helen Fisher, Staffordshire County Council's cabinet member for highways and transport, said: "These works are essential to ensure the entire infrastructure is in place to serve the new school, businesses and future residents. Not only are we constructing a new road and roundabout, we are also installing services, traffic signs, street lighting and marking out the roads.
Traders voice fears that St Peter's Bridge closure will 'knock the stuffing out of Burton' and put them out of business
"We realise that any road closure and diversion can cause some disruption, which is why we are working with residents and giving people as much notice as possible.
"Instead of having intermittent closures over a longer period of time, we are putting all of the infrastructure in place to minimise any disruption and ensure everything is in place ready for young people to enjoy their brand new school in September 2018."

Above-normal temperatures caused by warm and dry weather from high-pressure areas experienced by most states east of the Rocky Mountains. Only California, Nevada and Oregon experienced cooler-than-average temperatures last month.
Northeast and the East North Central Region: Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin and Michigan experienced their second warmest April ever.
Central climate region: West Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Missouri had their fourth warmest April for that region. [link to regional map]
Northeast: Illinois Maine, Connecticut, Rhode Island and New Jersey had their warmest April on record. I
A total of 31 states experienced above-normal temperatures.
February to April period: The record warmest in Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island.
January to April period: Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire had their warmest year-to-date on record. "Conversely, Florida had its coolest, while South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas' average temperature ranked among their 10 coolest."
"The cooler-than-normal temperatures that prevailed during the latter part of the winter season in the south and southeast were still evident in the three-month (February-April) period. Florida had its coolest such period, while Louisiana and Alabama had their sixth coolest, Georgia its seventh coolest and both Mississippi and Texas their eighth coolest February-April."
U.S. Precipitation Highlights
Below average precipitation in most areas east of the Mississippi River. West Coast was wet, and the Northwest higher than normal precipitation.
"Many Mid-Atlantic states observed much-below-normal precipitation. Both Louisiana and South Carolina experienced their sixth driest April. It was also abnormally dry in Connecticut (eight), North Carolina (ninth), Virginia (ninth) and Maryland (tenth). Conversely, it was Oregon's tenth-wettest April on record."
Michigan saw its second driest January to April period on record. "The year-to-date period was also the seventh driest for Wisconsin and Kentucky and the eighth driest for Louisiana."
North American snow cover extent was the lowest on record for April since 1966. "It was also the largest negative anomaly, meaning distance below long term average, on record for any month."
"NCDC's Climate Extremes Index (CEI) for January-April was about 6 percent higher than the historical average for that time period. The CEI measures the occurrence of several types of climate extremes (like record or near-record warmth, dry spells, or rainy periods). Factors contributing to this year's value: a very large footprint (three times larger than average) of extreme wetness and twice the average area with warm minimum temperatures."
NOAA's Storm Prediction Center reported 195 tornadoes in April. Subject to confirmation, "it would be the eighth highest number of April tornadoes."
"The most significant tornado of the month, which was rated EF-4 on the Enhanced Fujita scale, devastated areas near Yazoo City, Miss. According to a preliminary analysis by the National Weather Service, the tornado's path was 149 miles long and stretched from extreme northeastern Louisiana to northeastern Mississippi. The damage path was up to 1¾ miles wide at points." [More than a dozen people were killed by the tornado.]
The U.S. Drought Monitor said 9 percent of the United States was affected by drought on April 27.

Historic: Obama takes office
Stepping into history, Barack Hussein Obama grasped the reins of power as America's first black president on Tuesday, saying the nation must choose "hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord" to overcome the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.
In frigid temperatures, an exuberant crowd of more than a million packed the National Mall and parade route to celebrate Obama's inauguration in a high-noon ceremony. They filled the National Mall, stretching from the inaugural platform at the U.S. Capitol to the Lincoln Memorial in the distance.
With 11 million Americans out of work and trillions of dollars lost in the stock market's tumble, Obama emphasized that his biggest challenge is to repair the tattered economy left behind by outgoing President George W. Bush.
"Our time of standing pat, of protecting narrow interests and putting off unpleasant decisions — that time has surely passed," Obama said in an undisguised shot at Bush administration policies. "Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and begin the work of remaking America."
The dawn of the new Democratic era — with Obama allies in charge of both houses of Congress — ends eight years of Republican control of the White House by Bush, who leaves Washington as one of the nation's most unpopular and divisive presidents, the architect of two unfinished wars and the man in charge at a time of economic calamity that swept away many Americans' jobs, savings and homes.
Obama's election was cheered around the world as a sign that America will be more embracing, more open to change. "To the Muslim world," Obama said, "we seek a new way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect."
Still, he bluntly warned, "To those leaders around the globe who seek to sow conflict, or blame their society's ills on the West — know that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy."
"To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history, but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist."
Two years after beginning his improbable quest as a little-known, first-term Illinois senator with a foreign-sounding name, Obama moved into the Oval Office as the nation's fourth youngest president, at 47, and the first African-American, a barrier-breaking achievement believed impossible by generations of minorities.
He said it was a moment to recall "that all are equal, all are free and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness."
Obama called for a political truce in Washington to end "the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn-out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics."
He said that all Americans have roles in rebuilding the nation by renewing the traditions of hard work, honesty and fair play, tolerance, loyalty and patriotism.
"What is required of us now is a new era of responsibility, a recognition, on the part of every American, that we have duties to ourselves, our nation and the world, duties that we do not grudgingly accept but rather seize gladly, firm in the knowledge that there is nothing so satisfying to the spirit, so defining of our character, than giving our all to a difficult task."
With the economy in a long and deepening recession, Obama said it was time for swift and bold action to create new jobs and lay a foundation for growth. Congressional Democrats have readied an $825 billion stimulus plan of tax cuts and spending for roads, bridges, schools, electric grids and other projects.
"The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works," the new president said.
A mighty chorus of cheers erupted as Obama stepped to the inaugural platform, a midday sun warming the crowd that had waited for hours in the cold. There were some boos when Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney came onto the platform.
In his remarks, Obama took stock of the nation's sobering problems.
"That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood," he said.
"Our nation is at war, against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred. Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age," Obama said. "Homes have been lost, jobs shed, businesses shuttered. Our health care is too costly, our schools fail too many, and each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet."
It was the first change of administrations since the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Crowds filled the Mall for a distant glimpse of the proceedings or just, in the words of many, simply "to be here." Washington's subway system was jammed and two downtown stations were closed when a woman was struck by a subway train.
Bush — following tradition — left a note for Obama in the top drawer of his desk in the Oval Office.
White House press secretary Dana Perino said the theme of the message — which Bush wrote on Monday — was similar to what he has said since election night: that Obama is about to begin a "fabulous new chapter" in the United States, and that he wishes him well.
The unfinished business of the Bush administration thrusts an enormous burden onto the new administration, though polls show Americans are confident Obama is on track to succeed. He has cautioned that improvements will take time and that things will get worse before they get better.
Culminating four days of celebration, the nation's 56th inauguration day began for Obama and Vice President-elect Joe Biden with a traditional morning worship service at St. John's Episcopal Church, across Lafayette Park from the White House. Bells pealed from the historic church's tower as Obama and his wife, Michelle, arrived five minutes behind schedule.
The festivities won't end until well after midnight, with dancing and partying at 10 inaugural balls.
By custom, Obama and his wife, and Biden and his wife, Jill, went directly from church to the White House for coffee with Bush and his wife, Laura. Michelle Obama brought a gift for the outgoing first lady in a white box decorated with a red ribbon.
Shortly before 11 a.m., Obama and Bush climbed into a heavily armored Cadillac limousine to share a ride to the Capitol for the transfer of power, an event flashed around the world in television and radio broadcasts, podcasts and Internet streaming. On Monday, Vice President Dick Cheney pulled a muscle in his back, leaving him in a wheelchair for the inauguration.
Just after noon, Obama stepped forward on the West Front of the Capitol to lay his left hand on the same Bible that President Abraham Lincoln used at his first inauguration in 1861. The 35-word oath of office, administered by Chief Justice John Roberts, has been uttered by every president since George Washington. Obama was one of 22 Democratic senators to vote against Roberts' confirmation to the Supreme Court in 2005.
The son of a white, Kansas-born mother and a black, Kenya-born father, Obama decided to use his full name in the swearing-in ceremony.
To the dismay of liberals, Obama invited conservative evangelical pastor Rick Warren — an opponent of gay rights — to give the inaugural invocation.
About a dozen members of Obama's Cabinet and top appointees were ready for Senate confirmation Tuesday, provided no objections were raised. But Republican Sen. John Cornyn of Texas indicated he would block a move to immediately confirm Secretary of State-designate Hillary Rodham Clinton. Still, she is expected to be approved in a roll call vote Wednesday.
More than 10,000 people from all 50 states — including bands and military units — were assembled to follow Obama and Biden from the Capitol on the 1.5-mile inaugural parade route on Pennsylvania Avenue, concluding at a bulletproof reviewing stand in front of the White House. Security was unprecedented. Most bridges into Washington and about 3.5 square miles of downtown were closed.
Among the VIPs at the Capitol was pilot Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger, the hero of last week's US Airways crash into the Hudson River.
Obama's inauguration represents a time of renewal and optimism for a nation gripped by fear and anxiety. Stark numbers tell the story of an economic debacle unrivaled since the 1930s:
_Eleven million people have lost their jobs, pushing the unemployment rate to 7.2 percent, a 16-year high.
_One in 10 U.S. homeowners is delinquent on mortgage payments or in arrears.
_The Dow Jones industrial average fell by 33.8 percent in 2008, the worst decline since 1931, and stocks lost $10 trillion in value between October 2007 and November 2008.
Obama and congressional Democrats are working on an $825 billion economic recovery bill that would provide an enormous infusion of public spending and tax cuts. Obama also will have at his disposal the remaining $350 billion in the federal financial bailout fund. His goal is to save or create 3 million jobs and put banks back in the job of lending to customers.
In an appeal for bipartisanship, Obama honored defeated Republican presidential rival John McCain at a dinner Monday night. "There are few Americans who understand this need for common purpose and common effort better than John McCain," Obama said.
Young and untested, Obama is a man of enormous confidence and electrifying oratorical skills. Hopes for Obama are extremely high, suggesting that Americans are willing to give him a long honeymoon to strengthen the economy and lift the financial gloom.
On Wednesday, his first working day in office, Obama is expected to redeem his campaign promise to begin the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq under a 16-month timetable. Aides said he would summon the Joint Chiefs of Staff to the Oval Office and order that the pullout commence.

If you explain beautifully, a woman does not look to see whether you are handsome or not -- but listens more, so you can win her heart. She was still in Chicago at the time, but moved back to California shortly after. In the cities at least, it is becoming more accepted for two people to meet and try to find if there is compatibility.
Dating is a duty that most people feel they must take on to not seem incompetent. Thousands of single men and single women in your area have posted personal ads on EquestrianSingles.

The average duration of courtship before proceeding to engagement or marriage varies considerably throughout the world. It is one of the old teachings of Confucianism  and reveals its inclination toward conservatism. One report in China Daily suggests that dating for Chinese university women is "difficult" and "takes work" and steals time away from academic advancement, and places women in a precarious position of having to balance personal success against traditional Chinese relationships.


During the past year the fire department has made many improvements. Owing to the growth of the city, it has been necessary to keep constantly adding to the number of men and of horses and to the supply of fire-fighting apparatus. There are now employed in the department 183 men, with a monthly payroll of $15,125. There are 19 engine companies, all stationed in modern houses, with up-to-date equipment for quick fire service, equal to any, and the superior of many, of our large eastern cities. The department machine shop, established a year ago, has done all the necessary repairs to the apparatus during the past twelve months, besides completing a 65-foot telescope water tower, a wonderfully effective piece of machinery, able to throw a solid stream of water to a distance of many feet. During the past year the city, besides adding largely to its stock of hose, has purchased five new engines, ten combinations hose and chemical wagons, and also an 85-foot quick-raising spring truck, with rubber tires and roller bearings, fully equipped with trussed ladders, pompier ladders, and life belts. The department has also purchased, trained, and placed in service, 32 horses during the year. In the twelve months covered by the 1904-5 report, there were 729 alarms turned in, 649 of them being for actual fires. The total estimated loss was $525,000, a remarkably small sum for a city the size of Los Angeles.

Confusion over costs of cancelled Grad Ball
6th June 2018 Sarah CallenderNews
On 16 May, Lancaster University Students' Union made the decision to cancel Grad Ball.
The Students' Union said that the cancellation was due to disappointing ticket sales and this will be the first time in decades that the annual event will not go ahead.
In the original statement, the Union claimed that: "As we are the students' union and not the university we still have to pay to hire the Great Hall venue which costs almost the same as hiring Blackpool Tower".
However SCAN asked the University how much it costs to hire the Great Hall. An FOI revealed that: "for internal business and the Students' Union, there are no hire costs for the Great Hall. For external businesses booked via Conferences and Events there is a charge of £875, though this may differ in reality as it may be part of a package."
"There may be additional set up and break down costs for use of the Great Hall that do need to be paid by any user, e.g. security, table hire, AV, sound equipment etc".
The Students' Union's updated statement now claims that the cost of decorating the Great Hall is almost the same as hiring Blackpool Tower.
Qasim Younis, Vice President Union Development told SCAN: "The original statement was published as the result of a misunderstanding and there was no intention to mislead.
"Although there would have been no formal 'hire charge' for using the Great Hall for Grad Ball, use of the venue still generates costs such as cleaning and decoration that had to be factored into the Grad Ball budget."
This statement suggests that the cost of hiring Blackpool Tower and presumably decorating, is the same as decorating and cleaning the Great Hall alone.
Students reacted angrily to the decision to host the Ball on campus. Social media reactions were overwhelmingly negative, where students criticised the event as "an absolute joke" and "a glorified school disco".
There was widespread controversy over the decision to host Grad Ball in the Great Hall, as the event had been held in Blackpool Tower in the previous years. The Union cited transport costs as a reason to host the event in the Great Hall, as well as a desire to keep the costs involved in hiring the location to a minimum. Tickets were being sold at £45 for early bird, £50 with a purple card and £55 for standard release.
Amidst anger, a rival Grad Ball, titled "Lancaster Ball 2018", has been set up by students at Viva Blackpool on the 22 June. The event promises to provide coach travel to and from the location as well as a two-course meal. Early Bird tickets have now sold out and were priced at £35 and General Release is priced at £40.
The Students' Union said that they are: "exploring whether we can find alternative ways of staging the acts that were due to perform – further announcements will be made on this soon."
"It's become clear that the union is unable to provide the kind of Grad Ball that you want with the resources available to us, so we are suspending this event for the foreseeable future".

Q: Hibernate does not verify OneToOne relation I have the bellow standard one to one relation.
@Entity
class EntityA {
    @OneToOne(mappedBy = "a")
    EntityB b;
}

@Entity
class EntityB {
    @OneToOne(joinColumn = "a_id")
    EntityA a;
}

I have tested Hibernate doesn't seem to prevent me from inserting more than one EntityB with the same EntityA. It doesn't give any RuntimeException until I try to retrieve where it throws the Exception

more than one row found

Wouldn't it be better if we could force hibernate to strictly maintain one to one relation? Is that possible from the ORM layer Without adding Unique constraint on the foreign key?
Thanks is advance.

Q: Dual Boot XP, 7 w/o reformatting, etc.? I have the following configuration for a Windows XP installation and am interested in installing Windows 7 as a dual boot in a way that would be as non-disruptive as possible to my XP installation.

*

*C: is a 10 GB NTFS partition that contains my Windows XP installation, Documents and Settings folder, and not much else.  My computer boots off this drive.

*D: is a 40 GB NTFS partition that contains my music, My Documents folder and Firefox profile.  It's a slow hard drive with very little free space.

*E: is a ~140 GB NTFS partition that contains my Program Files directory, videos, and just about everything else and has about 80 GB of free space.

I'd like to install Windows 7 on my E: partition, without reformatting it or messing up my Program Files directory that's used in my XP installation and is on this drive.  I'd then like to dual boot it with XP.  Is this feasible?

A: This is somewhat feasible. You can probably do it, but one of the versions of Windows may not like it. I would recommend using something like Partition Magic or gparted to shrink E: and add a new partition to install 7 on. That's the only way to have it be mostly non-destructive. The only completely non-destructive way is to use a completely separate hard drive and don't have both hard drives plugged in at the same time. Then you can't accidentally edit a file for the other OS.

From the synopsis:
Jerry (Ryan Reynolds) is an affable singleton who works on the factory floor at a bathtub factory, ever eager to get along with his co-workers, especially Fiona (Gemma Arterton) and Lisa (Anna Kendrick) from accounts. After work Jerry goes home to his pet cat, Mr. Whiskers, and loyal dog Bosco, where the three of them hang out, watch TV and discuss the day's events. When one night he accidentally kills Fiona, Jerry hastily covers his tracks, under the strict advice of the subversive Mr. Whiskers. But Jerry is already beyond the reach of his well-meaning psychiatrist Dr. Warren (Jacki Weaver) and things are also looking bad for Lisa, who has taken a shine to Jerry. Despite Bosco trying to keep Jerry on the straight and narrow, Mr. Whiskers seems to be the loudest voice in Jerry's head and soon events have spiraled and salvation is all Jerry can hope for.
I don't know about you, but I've not really seen much of Ryan Reynold's work. Nothing against him, and I am looking forward to seeing his personal passion project, the Deadpool adapaptation, next year, but my awareness of him mainly comes from questionable romantic comedies, and even more questionable comic book adaptations (Green Lantern & X-Men Origins: Wolverine, where he first played a much-altered version of Deadpool. At least someone's giving him the chance to do it right this time).
So, while I'd heard good things about The Voices prior to sitting down to watch this release from Arrow, I was dubious as to whether Reynolds could pull off the kind of multi-layered performance needed to play Jerry. Well I'm happy to report that, for me at least, his performance here is a real revelation.
Starting off the movie, we see Jerry as a shy, socially awkward guy, trying his best to integrate back into society after a traumatic event in his past. Unfortunately, Jerry's not been following his psychiatrist's advice to keep taking his medication, and soon the mental cracks appear as he struggles to keep it together and the voices in his head get ever more intrusive. All the while Reynolds still manages to keep Jerry a sympathetic character, having very little concious control over events.
There are some fine performances from the supporting supporting cast, especially Gemma Arterton as Fiona, the subject of Jerry's affection. She's at her best when speaking via Jerry's psychosis, as her dialog and demeanor are filtered through his idea of a chirpy British chum. Pitch Perfect's Anna Kendrick is also likeable as always, as another colleague who gets caught up in the mayhem.
The movie handles the shift in tone pretty well, starting out like a wry, sideways look at small town characters in the style of David Lynch or the Cohen brothers, before heading for, if not outright horror, then certainly darker, though always funny, territory.
The script does threaten cliche in the third act as Jerry's world begins to crumble around him, but pulls it back at the last minute for an ending that takes an truly unexpected turn as the credits roll.
Overall, The Voices is a great movie, and well worth a watch for all fans of the dark and quirky.
Video and Audio Presentation
Arrow are of course renowned for the care and attention they lavish on their releases, with painstaking restorations breathing new life into the classic and not so classic cult movies of the past.
As a new movie, I suspect Arrow's job was much easier this time round with The Voices, which arrives on Blu-ray with a very nice looking transfer.
The stylised production design comes across really well, with the bold colour pallette being reproduced really well. There's plenty of detail on show, and a nice, natural look to the image.
The soundtrack isn't going to win any awards in the demo stakes, but it's very effective and nicely presented on this disc. Good use of atmospheric effects add to an overall sense of unease. The rear channels and LFE kick in with a bit more punch now and then to remind you that they're still there, while dialog is nice and clear.
Again, Arrow are known for for their indepth extra features that accompany their classic releases. There's not quite that usual depth of nostalgia here, obviously, but there's still plenty to check out.
A selection of interviews lasting just over 20 minutes see the cast, director, screenwriter and producers discuss characters, story development, direction and so on.
Deleted and extended scenes total just over 15 minutes, and, while it's always interesting to see the editorial choices made during the completion of a movie, not of these are screaming to be restored.
A 4 minute or so section looks at the recording of the voices of Jerry's dog Bosco, and cat Mr Whiskers, which he also voices. While Bosco is supportive to the end, Mr Whickers is, frankly, a twat, and it's interesting to see Reynolds develop their voices.
Next up, there's about 10 minutes of behind the scenes on-set footage, followed by almost 30 minutes of animatics, comprising a mix of CGI and hand drawn images.
The weakest of the bunch is a 'scare prank', which is hidden camera footage of a promotional gimmick from the film's theatrical release where a fridge was placed in cinema foyers with invitations for unsuspecting passers by to reach inside for a drink. Hilarity ensues… Thankfully it's brief.
The Voices is available as either a standard Blu-ray release or in a limited edition steelbook release that must rank as one of the finest looking for the year, and is available in the UK exclusively from Zavvi.
The movie is great fun, and should prove a pleasant surprise for those who, like me, were unconvinced of Ryan Reynolds acting abilities. The technical presentation is very good indeed, as to be expected from a new movie, while the steelbook packaging is superb.
My feeling is that in terms of extras there is nothing produced in-house at Arrow, and it shows – these are far more like the standard EPK pieces found on many big studio releases, and a world away from what the company would normally produce. That said, they're good for what they are, and you certainly won't feel short changed. Mind you, I'm a sucker for a good audio commentary, and it's a shame not to have one here…

Blesbok
Artiodactyla; more recently Cetartiodactyla
Bovidae
Damaliscus (heifer, young cow) dorcas (antelope) phillipsi(scientific explorer)
Two well-differentiated subspecies are recognized: the Blesbok D. p. phillipsi and the Bontebok D. p. pygargus. The two have been considered as separate species by some authorities.
The blesbok is a medium-sized antelope with a prominent white blaze on the face. There is a horizontal brown stripe dividing that blaze above the eyes. Their body is brown with a lighter colored saddle and rump. The legs are brown with a white patch behind the top part of the front legs. The lower legs are white in color.
85 to 100 cm (34 to 40 in.)
Male: 65 to 80 kg (143 to 176 lbs.)
Female: 55 to 70 kg (121 to 154 lbs.)
Almost exclusively grazers, with a preference for short grass; water is an essential habitat requirement
240 days; births peak during November and December. Females give birth to single calves.
2.5 years; The blesbok is a seasonal breeder. The rams and ewes look very similar. Rutting occurs from March to May
Historically confined to the coastal plain of the Western Cape in South Africa. The blesbok has been introduced widely to privately owned game farms outside its natural range in Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe
This species is highly characteristic of the open plateau grasslands of the southern African highveld up to 2,000 m (6,500 ft.).
Global: reasonably abundant in both formal conservation areas and on private land. The population is stable and possibly increasing, and there does not appear to be any major threats to its long-term survival.
In 1999, a blesbok population assessment estimated that there were at least 235,000 to 240,000 individuals. Of those, 97% occurred on private farms and 3% in protected areas, (East 1999).
Current estimates put the numbers of bontebok subspecies at around 3,500.
CITES: Appendix II for bontebok subspecies only
USFWS: Subspecies, bontebok is Endangered
The common name is a derivative of the Afrikaans words for blazed antelope, which is in reference to the white blaze found on their face.
Smaller relatives of the wildebeest, blesbok populations have rebounded after being hunted to near extinction during the European colonization of southern Africa.
They graze on medium to tall grasses and migrate to follow the rains. Females give birth to usually a single calf early in the summer.
Blesbok calves differ from most other small or medium antelope species by staying with their mothers instead of hiding.
Males and females both have horns, ringed almost to the tip. Female horns are slightly more slender.
By eating grasses, Blesbok keep the grasslands trim, spawning new growth. They are food for larger predators. Their numbers suffer due to habitat loss and pelt trade. In addition, encroachment and competition with domestic livestock are a constant threat.
The blesbok is closely related to the bontebok. Historically, the distributions of these two species did not overlap. Interbreeding has been documented.
The blesbok was once one of the most abundant antelope species of the African plains, but they have become scarce since the 19th century due to relentless hunting for their skins and meat.

INDEPENDENCE - THE LAST BATTLE OF KOSOVO
by Vesna Peric Zimonjic
to Monitor coverage of Kosovo War
(IPS) BELGRADE -- The southern Serbian province of Kosovo is preparing to proclaim independence to become the newest state to emerge from former Yugoslavia.
This looks like the last of the process of disintegration of former Yugoslavia. That disintegration began with the wars in 1991 leading to the separation of Slovenia, Croatia and Bosnia, the quiet departure of Macedonia in 1992, and then the referendum that brought independence for Montenegro in 2006.
The Kosovan move now is drawing bitter reactions in official Belgrade. In Kosovo, on the other hand, concerts and festivals are being planned in capital Pristina and in other towns, alongside a first parliament session as independent nation.
The precise date for proclamation of independence is expected to be announced after final consultations with the U.S. and the European Union (EU).
The EU is preparing a Kosovo mission, named EULEX, to help ethnic Albanians on the road to independence by deploying some 2,000 personnel, mainly police and judicial experts.
The Serbian government issued a sharp statement Thursday saying it "annuls in advance" a proclamation of independence for Kosovo.
"This is our historical decision," Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica told reporters Thursday afternoon. "This annuls the acts and actions of the interim government of Kosovo that proclaim unilateral independence, because they violate the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of Serbia."
Serbia's sovereignty over Kosovo and its territorial integrity "was guaranteed by the Serbian constitution, the UN Charter, UN Security Council Resolution 1244 and international law," said a government statement issued earlier in the day.
"These acts and actions represent the violent and unilateral secession of a part of the territory of Serbia, and are therefore null and void," the statement added.
The Serbian government has asked for an urgent session of the United Nations (UN) Security Council at which the "illegal act of proclamation of unilateral independence of Kosovo province would be immediately annulled, in accordance with the UN Charter and UN Security Council Resolution 1244."
UN Resolution 1244 represents the grounds on which the UN took over administration of Kosovo in June 1999, after the NATO air campaign drove Serbian security forces out of Kosovo. Serbian troops had cracked down brutally on an armed rebellion by ethnic Albanians. The two million population of Kosovo is largely ethnic Albanian.
Kostunica has not said what Serbia's next steps would be, but withdrawal of Serbian ambassadors from EU countries that recognize Kosovo for "consultations" in Belgrade is expected to be the first. Kostunica has insisted that "action plans" will follow, but so far the government has not said what they might be.
Kostunica had earlier asked a 100,000 strong Serb community "to stay in Kosovo, with the right not to recognize the unilateral illegal acts" of the Kosovan government. But much of this seems pompous rhetoric aimed at keeping an emotional public quiet.
"This all comes too late and is in vain," international law professor Vojin Dimitrijevic commented on Belgrade Radio B92. "Opportunities were missed and time was wasted for proper talks, and now the government is trying to save what cannot be saved. Kosovo was lost to Serbia in 1999."
Serbia was involved in the UN-sponsored negotiations over Kosovo that began more than two years ago. Its delegation continued to insist on "broad autonomy" for Kosovo -- not independence.
"The official stand on Kosovo was only talk of sacred Serbian territory, with no respect for the people there -- ethnic Albanians," Belgrade University professor Ljubisa Rajic wrote in his column in the daily Politika.
But much of the media has been silent on Kosovo, as it was before the 1999 NATO air attacks. The government of Slobodan Milosevic then simply stopped media saying that the bombing was imminent. Many people were caught unawares when the bombing began Mar. 24, 1999.
"The public was widely led to believe that Kosovo cannot simply go away," analyst Jovo Bakic told Radio B92. "It was an underestimation of the sober minds of people; now they have to face the reality."
But as a proclamation of independence nears, ultranationalist hate speech is finding increased voice in pro-government media. "A part of Serbian territory is being illegally torn away," said Tomislav Nikolic, ultranationalist leader from the Serbian Radical Party. "This calls for a state of emergency."
"That amounts to nonsense," constitutional expert Zoran Ivosevic told IPS. "The new Serbian Constitution adopted in 2006 does not prevision any such thing. The old era is over."

County Hall ran the flag up to celebrate local government reform, as thousands of Lancastrians woke up to find themselves in Merseyside, Cumbria, Cheshire and Greater Manchester.
Flying over the Preston headquarters of the new, smaller and less powerful county council was a new red and gold flag with the old Lancashire roses on it.
Meanwhile, the 108 districts of the old Lancashire came down overnight to just 14 as the biggest shake-up in local government for 80 years became a fact.
"We haven't come across any problems we couldn't deal with," said the new Preston's public relations officer, Mr Geoff Millward.
Cracks have appeared in the brickwork of three blocks of multi-storey flats in Preston for the second time since they were built 16 years ago. And they could cost Preston council more than £60,000 to repair.
Members of the policy and resources committee agreed to call in the firm which originally built the 16-storey blocks in Moor Lane to repair the cracks. Borough architect, Mr John Smith, stressed that the blocks - Cumberland, Westmorland and Northumberland houses - were not in any danger.
Following council approval the builders will move in to clothe the buildings in scaffolding for the second time since they were built. Residents of the 288 flats will not need to be moved out.
"In about 1965 we found that the brickwork on these blocks was cracking, and we approached the contractors who had built them and asked them to do something about it," Mr Smith told the committee. "They made it good. But about 18 months ago we found it was cracking again.
Former Preston social club badly damaged in late night blaze.
As a streaker 25-year-old Stephen Dudley decided he was no great success. "I was caught," he said.
But Preston magistrates thought his performance was worth every penny of £35 - the fine they imposed in court after Dudley pleaded guilty to insulting behaviour likely to cause a breach of the peace.
The first streaker to appear in a Preston court, Dudley was nabbed after police traced his getaway car after his 400 yard dash from his home in Balderstone Street, Preston, to the end of Broadgate and back, wearing little more than nature gave him.
The magistrates heard that Dudley was spotted streaking naked, except for shoes, socks and a watch, by a woman looking out of her bedroom window on to Broadgate.
Enquiries led to Dudley, who at first denied being involved, but then admitted he streaked in Broadway between midnight and 1.15am on March 30th.
Outside court, Dudley said: "I did it for a £4 bet and a dare after a wine and cider party. I was intoxicated.
Now Dudley has to fork out £4-a-week until the fine is paid off.
