The Tour De France is the oldest and most prestigious road bike race of all time, with some of the most brutal and exciting stages of Alpine climbing over 3 weeks.
Images of spandex clad bicycle super heroes who live and breathe fitness for the Tour, are engrained into our minds year after year as we follow it on TV.
Schralp In The Alps is a document of photographer Sandy Carson and his three BMX turned Road Bike team mates' version of a French Alps 'dream vacation' paying homage to the Tour's most scenic and savage climbs, from the village of Le Bourg d'Oisans where all roads lead north.
Carson observes and documents a unique and insightful view of the road from behind the handlebars of his bicycle by capturing the breathtaking tour stage ascent of Alp d'Huez , to the epic decent of Col Du Glandon, still freshly ridden from the 2015 tour. He offers an insiders look behind the scenes of renegade cyclists winging several feats of climbing the Cols, with little to no training or acclimation.

There is growing international concern for the future of the lower Omo Valley in Ethiopia. A beautiful, biologically diverse land with volcanic outcrops and a pristine riverine forest; it is also a UNESCO world heritage site, yielding significant archaeological finds, including human remains dating back 2.4 million years.
The Valley is one of the most culturally diverse places in the world, with around 200,000 indigenous people living there. Yet, in blind attempts to modernise and develop what the government sees as an area of 'backward' farmers in need of modernisation, some of Ethiopia's most valuable landscapes, resources and communities are being destroyed.
One year after completion of the Giber III dam, effects are already being felt: the annual floods (necessary for flood-recession agriculture and fish breeding cycles) have stopped. Land has been taken from local people and national parks, inhabitants of the land have been forcibly resettled, and food insecurity and extreme hunger has begun to set in. This is just the start of troubles to come.
The Omo River provides Kenya's Lake Turkana with 90% of its water. It is predicted that abstraction of water for the plantations could cause the lake level to fall by up to 22m. Fish numbers will dwindle and the lake's water will be completely undrinkable. These events will exacerbate resource conflicts among the local communities Ethiopia's 'villagisation' programme is aiding the land-grab by pushing tribes into purpose built villages where they can no longer access their lands, becoming unable to sustain themselves, making these previously self-sufficient tribes dependent on government food aid. What is happening in the lower Omo Valley, and elsewhere, shows a complete disregard for human rights and a total failure to understand the value these tribes offer Ethiopia in terms of their cultural heritage and their contribution to food security.
There are eight tribes living in the Valley, including the Mursi, famous for wearing large plates in their lower lips. Their agricultural practices have been developed over generations to cope with Ethiopia's famously dry climate. Many are herders who keep cattle, sheep and goats and live nomadically. Others practice small-scale shifting cultivation, whilst many depend on the fertile crop and pasture land created by seasonal flooding. The vital life source of the Omo River is being cut off by Gibe III. An Italian construction company began work in 2006, violating Ethiopian law as there was no competitive bidding for the contract and no meaningful consultation with indigenous people.
The dam has received investment from the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, and the hydropower is primarily going for export rather than domestic use - despite the fact that 77% of Ethiopia's population lacks access to electricity.
People in the Omo Valley are politically vulnerable and geographically remote. Many do not speak Amharic, the national language, and have no access to resources or information.
There has been little consideration of potential impacts, including those which may affect other countries, particularly Kenya, as Lake Turkana relies heavily on the Omo River.

Forty years ago, two men went missing in southwest Iceland. The facts of their disappearances are scarce, and often mundane. An 18-year-old set off from a nightclub, drunk, on a 10-kilometre walk home in the depths of Icelandic winter. Some months later, a family man failed to return from a meeting with a mysterious stranger. In another time or place, they might have been logged as missing persons and forgotten by all but family and friends. Instead, the Gudmundor and Geirfinnur case became the biggest and most controversial murder investigation in Icelandic history.
In the 1970s theories about the disappearances fixated on Iceland's anxieties over smuggling, drugs and alcohol, and the corrupting influence of the outside world. The county's highest levels of political power were drawn into the plot. But ultimately, a group of young people on the fringes of society became its key protagonists. All made confessions that led to convictions and prison sentences. Yet none could remember what happened on the nights in question.
Now a public inquiry is uncovering another story, of how hundreds of days and nights in the hands of a brutal and inexperienced criminal justice system eroded the link between suspects' memories and lived experience.
Jack Latham photographed the places and people that feature in various accounts of what happened to Gudmundor and Geirfinnur after they vanished. He spent time with the surviving suspects, as well as whistle blowers, conspiracy theorists, expert witnesses and bystanders to the case.
In Sugar Paper Theories, Latham's photographs and material from the original police investigation files stand in for memories real and constructed. Gisli Gudjusson, a former Reykjavik policeman and forensic psychologist whose expert testimony and theory of memory distrust syndrome helped free the Birmingham Six and Guildford Four – and are now central to the Gudmundor and Geirfinnur inquiry – provides a written account of the case.

One's first job is rarely forgotten. It is the beginning of adulthood, a rite of passage and a turning point. For numerous workers, only 30 years ago, the first job was often the only one, as people could remained in the same company for a lifetime, just being gradually promoted or slightly changing ones positions with seniority. In today's scenario all is temporary, as the dream of a life position has forever vanished. Usually the first job is the first of a long list that will follow. In the wake of the worst economic crises in modern history, where for many young adults there seemed to be actually no possibility for a first job at all, Gabriele Galimberti explores the world of employment of today's youth. In the style that has become his trademark, this is a project that will be carried out in all the 5 continents where the global theme does not obscure, but actually heightens the local specificities. Each one of the subjects whose portrait has been taken has an individual story that feeds into a larger narrative on how the world we live in is changing. From China to Germany, from Colombia to the U.S. we get a personal introduction to tomorrow's workforce.

Amateur competitor is a misguided label. That's the key lesson I learned the first time I witnessed The Mr. and Mrs. Muscle Beach competition out in Venice Beach, California. I couldn't take my eyes off of these people, with their flashy outfits, orange skin and irrefutable dedication. There were 18 year olds scarred with acne and fitted with braces, mounds for biceps, senior citizens whose muscles didn't seem to want to give up though they dipped and stretched, powerful women with bejewelled hand weights and glittering bikinis. An all out show worthy of every Venice Beach innuendo. If this was an amateur competition then what exactly did a professional one look like? I live in LA, I eat 'clean', and I go to the gym. In fact I go to the gym everyday. I buy whey protein in bulk and study articles on the benefits of sprinting. I'm an amateur. You don't get to look like these contestants do without years of training, years of research and methodology. Sure, the contest takes place on July 4th and yeah you might turn up for a drunken moment to ogle the show before hitting the beach, but heed my warning, watching that much heart strut itself on stage can get you questioning every last limitation you've set upon yourself. Before you know it you may just find yourself in stretch pants lifting your first rep at the gym, one of the newly anointed amateurs, light years away from your first competition - Michelle Groskopf

Nestled in the South West of England in the county of Somerset sits Worthy Farm home to the internationally renown Glastonbury festival. Established in 1970 the festival has gone from humble roots and grown in size and reputation. Held outside the sleepy Somerset town of Glastonbury in the mythical vale of Avalon the five day event is something of a British institution. Every June 175,000 people descend on the 900 acre site to listen to music, party and come together.
The following series was shot during the 2016 festival which ran during the the wettest June on record. The unseasonal weather reduced the festival to a sea of mud, despite this the weather wasn't the only event that effected the atmosphere. On the morning of Friday the 24th of June the festival awoke to the news that the United Kingdom had left the European Union, despite this and the rain people seemed more determined to enjoy themselves than ever, when at Glastonbury nothing else matters, not the political upheaval or the mud. This very British event combined much needed hedonism, eccentricity and community between young and old at a time of great uncertainty. Whatever happens in the future hidden in this little corner of somerset there will always be Glastonbury.

The Delta of Amacuro, eastern Venezuela, is one of the most inhospitable places in the world. For the past 8.500 years ago Warao indians have turned its 20.000 km2 of water canals and swamps into their home. Despite the strong acculturation they have suffered because of colonialism Warao people have managed to keep their culture and way of life deeply rooted into this environment.
Before the late 20th century, the term berdache was widely used by anthropologists as a generic term to indicate "two-spirit" or transgender individuals. In Native American societies, berdaches played an important role both religiously and economically. They were given specific roles in their religion and were not expected to support their family like a male would, but rather they were required to do some of the women's work and portray the behaviours and clothing of a woman.
Early Spanish and French explorers and colonizers in North America applied the- se terms as a means of making sense of the relationships, anatomical sex, sexual behaviour, and social gender role of those individuals they encountered who fell outside their own conceptual frameworks.
Historically, two-spirit people typically have been well integrated into the life of their tribes, and have often held revered and honoured positions within them. Members of native cultures are often quite reluctant to discuss two-spirit traditions with outsiders, who they feel may misunderstand them or appropriate them for their own agendas.
The Warao, as it happens in other ethnic groups, considers certain people are not man neither woman. They are called Tida Wena. Their inclusion in warao society goes back to the pre- Columbian traditions mentioned above. Most of these beliefs were common only half a century ago but now due to the growing acculturation they are facing extinction.
Deep in the swamps of Delta of Orinoco it is still possible to make out their world as it was hundred years ago. Small and isolated native communities struggle to survive there. The existence of transgender people among the warao society could be the last remains of those old pre-Columbian traditions, never photographed before.

Four decades have gone by since Richard Nixon declared his famous "war on drugs", a war which is now globally, and by any standard, considered one of the biggest human and political failures of modern society. Over 1 trillion U.S. dollars has been spent to eradicate drugs from our societies, with no positive results. In many parts of the world, such as Mexico, drug violence has become endemic. Gangs are doing roaring deals and are driving unimaginable profits for organized crime worldwide, while nations' joint efforts at reducing the demand have been completely fruitless.
It is no wonder that countries around the world are rethinking their approach to drugs, with former ministers and politicians admitting the mistakes of the past and pushing for change, starting from cannabis. The legalization of cannabis has been asked by people all over the globe for at least 20 years now, but the undergoing, slow process of social acceptance is only the result of a recent recognition of its medical properties. As politicians around the globe begin to understand that this might be the entry point that enables them to change the figures in which they have failed, major shifts are already occurring in the United States, where five states have recently voted to tax and regulate cannabis consumption.
Underneath these shifts however, lies an even greater revolution: a tenaciously united and like-minded group of women are leading the way in transforming a market which was once governed solely by criminals and dominated by illegality and corruption, into one of the greatest opportunities of change, medical progress, and economical growth of the coming century.
Being nurturing mothers and household caregivers before they are entrepreneurs, these businesswomen have foreseen the historic opportunity to forge the upcoming cannabis market into an industry in which reasons of profit are better balanced with compassion, moral responsibility and a general desire of good doing for the society they live in, and these are their stories…

Just as lingerie or cars, tanks and missiles have their own shows. From Paris to Delhi, these events, known war shows, are little known to the general public but draw in great numbers of professionals from the defence industry. Travelling to Jordan, France, Qatar and India, Herbaut's 'Weapon Show' looks at the industry of war market's and war shows around the globe.
War shows, where foreign militaries and the accredited public mix to admire and purchase weapons such as missiles, tanks, drones, riot equipment and solid gold pistols, and in the aisles one not only can meet weapon experts and soldiers doing their shopping but also numerous spies. The glamorous appearance of the market stalls, one could mistake them for video games shops, seem to make the fact that these tradesmen are dealing with weaponry nearly irrelevant.
But one should not be misled by the war show's flashy appearance - the arms and weapons industry is a global business, and not a little one. In 2012 the five main weapons exporters were USA, Russia, China, Ukraine and the European Union. In the same year, the world military expenditure has been estimated at $1756 billion US Dollars, which represents 2.5 per cent of the global gross domestic product (GDP) or $ 249 US Dollars for each person in the world.
Welcome to the death market where the main values are power, technology and money!

The weapons market never knows the economic crisis. The winners of a thriving financial sector is the United States in first place, followed by Russia and France. A big boom in parallel civil wars on the globe.
Each year several weapons fairs are organized. They sell fighter jets, tanks, missiles, assaults rifles etc. Here the rules of marketing are the same as for civilian companies. Gadgets, brochures, promotional bags touting war products are available to visitors.

Brittany. France.
A short boat trip from Vannes or Quiberon and you find yourself in another world, the world of the Canard (the Duck) and the Caneton (Duckling). These are the nicknames of Houat and Hoëdic. Two-car seafaring islands facing the ocean, protected by a series of cliffs. The Iles au Moines, for its part, right at the heart of the Golfe du Morbihan, stands sentry over the Breton hinterland. Three little corners of paradise to delight the holiday-makers who come here in summer to recharge their batteries, away from the French mainland. The figures speak volumes: Hoaut has 3000 inhabitants in summer, just 230 in winter. The same is true of Hoëdic and the iles aux Moines, which see their populations increase by a factor of ten in the sunny days of July and august.
For the Festival la Gacilly, Guillaume Herbaut investigate these island treasures when the summer visitors had flown, when the colder days had come, storms had arrived to pound these fragile shores, and at last islanders were left to their own devices. A photographic essay showing the true face, the wild nature of these fragments of land. One belongs to an Island more than a country. Island life goes beyond nationality and forges character. Island-dwellers are not comfort-lovers. they exhibit a rebellious, often taciturn nature. For one's island , one would fight to the point of risking shipwreck. Winter is indeed the time to approach Houat or Hoëdic if you want to grasp the life of a place battered by the breakers, the daily existence of people dependent on the mainland for a shuttle service of boats to take the younger generation to secondary school or brining provisions. Living on an Island all the year round means submitting yourself to the climate, the winds, the currents.

Any given Monday a fifty-year-old woman, who is about to enter the operating room for an open-heart surgery, decides to write me begging for help. She urgently needs someone to administer her huge fortune and share it out amongst different NGOs. A few hours later a young girl tries to persuade me to marry her in order to at last get the great inheritance her parents left her with the only condition of not being single at the age of 30. On Tuesday, an African attorney has chosen me to share the funds of a left over account he's found and at the same time I'm informed that I just won the British Lottery and a brand new Toyota. All of them have been entering my INBOX for the last year, telling me incredible stories they describe with all the details I need to realize that their situation is definitely dramatic and that they truly need my help. By trying to awake both my mercy and my greed, they offer me the perfect business: cleaning my conscience and my financial situation at the same time.
Long ago, the Internet became a machine out of control that has mainly lost all his consistency and any medium-experienced internaut is aware of the scam hidden in these unique opportunities. We have come at the point in which these terrible stories told are not even worth the time it takes to read them and they are directly deleted in what could be considered a crime against humanity at a domestic level.
With this project I recover these stories and read them carefully, analyzing the scheme of the trap that is hidden in its structure and that offers a list of our complexes and sins as social beings. These stories are designed to make us feel chosen as one in a million: at last, lady luck knocking at our door after all this effort in vain.
Starting from this deliciously written lie, the series "Poly-Spam" aims to build the robotic portrait of the senders, taking every single detail specified and translating it into images with special care in the dramatic ambient of the specific moment in which the mail was sent. By using photography and its veracity load, I certify the existence of something to good to be true; I create impossible documents based on pure lies. I put a face behind the tale, but a contemporary one, a tale adapted to the dreams and frustrations of modern times.

A few of the 200,000 glaciers in the world are well studied but the 9,000 in India are mostly unexamined. This is remarkable considering the future of the high mountain climate is crucial to the three great rivers which are born here, the Ganges, Indus and Brahmaputra and the 700 million people who depend upon their waters. In the Chinese Himalayas, researchers have performed thorough surveys, but, according to one American scientist, "the other side is a black hole." The reasons are largely financial: India is a relatively poor country. According to one researcher adequate funding levels need to be 30-40 times higher.
For this reason Chhota Shigri glacier has been chosen as one of the benchmark glaciers in the Indian Himalaya. The Glacier Research Group, Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi has been carrying out Mass Balance Studies in this Glacier since 2002. Chhota Shigri and the other glaciers of the eastern Himalayas are unusual in that, unlike the majority of the world's glaciers, which get most of their snow from winter storms, they get much of theirs from the summer monsoons, which tend to insulate them from more rapid melting. (Most of the glaciers of the Karakoram Mountains, in Pakistan for example, are not receding at all; it's one of the few places in the world where this is the case.) The weather in India has been fluctuating wildly; 2015 was the driest in decades and early 2016 broke records for high temperatures. Glaciers are uniquely sensitive recorders of changes in climate, and their ice contains indications of past temperature, precipitation, and volcanic activity, as well as the effects of greenhouse gases. The ice cores collected by the JNU scientists on Chhota Shigri make up an archive of the Earth's weather over the past millennia. But the glacial ice is disappearing, and so is the archive itself. "We are trying to document the history of climate," says one glaciologist. "If it's not done now, it will never be done. We're on a salvage mission."

While wars are going on all over the world, and countries fight each other with soldiers and weapons, a large group of especially young people are fighting a completely different war. A war against themselves.
In a world filled with perfectly photoshopped super models, the normality of plastic surgery and a vice of controlling your own destiny, it is hard to find your way as a teenager.
The boundaries are even harder to find, when you are possessed with the voice of "Ana", as many anorexia patients call the illness.
Listening to the nurses and therapist seams wrong when the voice inside your head tells you you look fat, and that thinner is always better.
Eating disorders are not only about being thin, as many may think. Control is a key word. And in a teenager's sometimes stressful life, what is easier to control than the intake of food?
Eating disorders are the third most common disease amongst teenagers, and worldwide one out of five suffer from eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia which eventually can lead to heart failure and malfunction of the internal organs, causing death.
In the small village Malawa in the south of Poland, a little yellow house is settled every year with struggling young boys and girls, getting treatment and trying to get well enough to at one point go back to a normal life.

Under "natural" circumstances, the average woman would get pregnant about 15 times in her life, resulting in ten births. Seven of those babies would survive childhood.
For centuries, people have searched for ways to delay or terminate pregnancy. Today, safe and efficient means of abortion finally exist, yet women around the world continue to use ancient, illegal or risky home methods: Every year, 47,000 women around the world die due to botched abortions.
Why do they take the risk?
Across countries and religions, millions of women are blocked from abortion technologies by law and social coercion, and are forced to carry pregnancies to term against their will. Some are minors and rape victims. For many, the pregnancy is not viable or poses a health risk. But all can be criminalized for trying to abort; in El Salvador, even women suffering a miscarriage are being charged with homicide, facing prison sentences of up to 40 years."
In violation of patient confidentiality codes, doctors and healthcare providers have been known report women seeking illegal abortions, even when abortion is medically necessary to save the patient's life. On the other hand, anyone who helps a woman abort in a country where abortion is illegal can find themselves incarcerated. And even in countries where abortion is legal, medical staff may risk their lives to perform the operation.
This year, for the first time in history, the Pope has allowed Catholic women who've aborted to be forgiven. But while this may seem like a step forward, it perpetuates the stigma of guilt that surrounds women's choices. In the meantime, politicians exploit abortion as campaign currency; making reproductive issues a political matter, rather than a question of rights.
Laia Abril's new long-term project A History of Misogyny is a visual research undertaken through historical and contemporary comparisons. In her first chapter On Abortion Abril documents and conceptualizes the dangers and damages caused by women's lack of legal, safe and free access to abortion. Continuing with her painstaking research methodology, Abril draws on the past to highlight the long, continuous erosion of women's reproductive rights to present-day. Her collection of visual, audio and textual evidence weaves a net of questions about ethics and morality, and reveals a staggering series of social triggers, stigmas, and taboos around abortion that have been invisible until now.
On June 27, 2015, the Women on Waves (WoW) Abortion drone made its maiden flight from Frankfurt an der Oder in Germany, to Słubice in Poland, carrying packages of abortion pills.
Abortion is legal in nearly all EU countries, except Poland, Ireland and Malta. The official number of abortions performed in Poland, a country with 38 million inhabitants, is only about 750 per year. According to Dutch pro-choice organization Women on Waves, the real number is closer to 240,000.
Baby hatch, baby box, ruota dei trovatelli (foundling wheel) or okno zycia. These little windows can be opened from outside for mothers to deposit unwanted infants. After this, an alarm sounds to alert the nuns at the convent to take in the orphan. This system has existed in one form or another for centuries all over the world.
The United Nations is concerned at the baby box's recent spread in Europe; in 2012, nearly 200 baby drop-off points were installed across the continent. More than 400 children have been left in European child abandonment centers since 2000.

Abortion in Peru is illegal, except in case of a threat to the life or health of the mother. However, since 2014, 277 women have died after being denied access to abortion. Women who self-abort can be sentenced to up to two years in prison. Anyone who performs an illegal abortion can be sentenced to one to six years.

BJP can alter the nation`s face in 3 yrs: Gadkari
Jalandhar: Terming politics as the ladder to change the socio-economic condition of the country, BJP president Nitin Gadkari said that his party could change the
nation`s face in three years if it comes to power.
"If BJP comes to power, then the face of the country will change in three years. It can lift the nation from the present economic peril," Gadkari said tonight while speaking at the launch of the Punjabi version of his book, `Vikas Ke Raha Par` (On the path of development).
The book titled in Punjabi as `Vikas de Raha te` was released by the editors of various newspapers here.
In a scathing attack on the UPA, he said, "Country is facing starvation and poverty due to the wrong economic policies of the corrupt government and the bureaucracy".
He said "our country is not poor but the thinking of our rulers has become poor".
Talking about the book he said, "I am not a writer. I have written this book based on my experiences. I took inspiration from a poor family in Gadchiroli district of Maharashtra.
"That family of an old woman and her daughter had only a pair of clothes to wear, which they shared as when one had to go outside another remained in the home," he said.
This incident changed his life and he joined the politics to "serve the people", Gadkari said.

GE's Critical Power business (NYSE: GE) has announced that CoreSpace, a provider of dedicated servers and cloud services, is introducing a new service level agreement guarantee for power protection in its Dallas data center. The center now employs GE's highly reliable SG Series, three-phase uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system running in eBoost* energy efficiency mode. One of the first infrastructure improvements CoreSpace made when it acquired its Dallas data center was to install a 500-kilovolt UPS system to replace more than 230 distributed single-phase UPS units connected to each of the individual 45-U1 (73.5-inch high) server racks. The GE UPS system enabled a centralized power management approach, bringing a new level of uptime, quality and reliability to CoreSpace's Dallas data center, while also generating significant energy cost savings.
Prior to deploying GE's centralized power management system, CoreSpace's distributed UPS architecture used more than 100 kilovolt-amperes (kVA) of power annually, with additional energy and dollars expended to cool the more than 345,000 British thermal units (BTUs) produced by the 230 single-phase UPS units. Since deploying the GE SG Series UPS system, CoreSpace is realizing energy savings of 92 kVA a year, which translates to $88,800 per year in energy savings by running the UPS system at 99 percent efficiency in eBoost mode. The company also reduced its data center cooling costs with the new GE system, cutting the total single-phase UPS BTU output from 345,000 BTUs to just 14,000 BTUs for the three-phase UPS system.
"Power efficiency is a critical factor in controlling the operational expenses in our data centers," said Liana Dunlap, president and CEO of CoreSpace. "The GE UPS system has dramatically reduced our overall power usage, significantly cutting our power costs and providing savings we can pass directly to our customers. Also, as a full-service data center and hosting provider, availability is a vital performance measurement for us. Since installing the GE UPS system, we are able to deliver higher levels of service and support for our customers."
During CoreSpace's shift to a centralized power management system, the company also added other critical infrastructure, such as backup diesel power generation from Cummins, which provides 1,500 kVA of extended power backup. Additionally, a GE ZTS automatic transfer switch provides seamless switching between the GE UPS system and external power generation systems. CoreSpace also is using GE's iUPS Guard to remotely monitor and diagnose the status of the UPS system, a GE surge protection device and GE Critical Power Services, which provide around-the-clock response services 365 days a year.
"GE's energy efficient and reliable UPS technology not only boosted CoreSpace's energy savings, it helped shift their business model to expand their service reliability for a host of new data center customers," said Jeff Schnitzer, general manager, GE's Critical Power business.
GE's Critical Power business provides mission-critical applications with end-to-end power product and service solutions that help maximize uptime and power efficiency. The solutions add to GE's broader Industrial Solutions portfolio of leading technologies designed for the delivery, management and optimization of electrical power for customers across multiple industries.

The most popular alcoholic beverage in America is about to get all health-conscious: Most beer brewers are voluntarily including calories, nutritional details and an ingredients list on their labels. The goal for brewers and importers is to fasten new labels on all their cans and bottles by the end of 2020, said the Beer Institute. However, the new labels should begin appearing immediately.

The Derailers' music has always shown the influence of Buck Owens, but this is the first time they have taken the man's catalogue head on. The 13 tracks here were all written, co-written, or frequently performed live by the Bakersfield legend (except Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode"). The band does a pretty good job of capturing Buck's spirit without slavishly imitating his records, especially on the material that swings. The vocals have just enough of an aching drawl to be convincing without being camp. The instrumentals have that honky tonk sound and clip clop rhythm down pat. The dual guitar work is especially noteworthy. While there may be no reason to recreate these songs—could anyone improve on the originals—taken as whole the disc provides some good time music and a fine tribute to one of country's finest artists. The songs themselves are classic. Buck would be proud to be remembered this way.

Chuck Carbo
0 Shouts - 38,620 Scrobbles
Hayward "Chuck" Carbo was an American R&B singer (1926-2008), best known for his time as a vocalist in the New Orleans group The Spiders.Read More...
Carbo sang with his brother, Leonard "Chick" Carbo, in The Spiders, who recorded for Imperial Records in the 1950s and scored a string of hits on the U.S. Black Singles chart. After his brother launched a solo career, Chuck Carbo also recorded as a solo artist, cutting discs for Imperial, Rex, and Ace.
Carbo continued to perform intermittently for the next several decades, though he took odd jobs (including as a truck driver) whenever he could not make a living performing. In 1989, he recorded a version of the song "Meet Me with Your Black Drawers On", by Jeannie & Jimmy Cheatham, which led to a comeback album on Rounder Records in 1993 featuring Dr. John and Edward Frank. A second full-length followed in 1996. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.

-- Lowell Forte, Cupertino CA
Although this book is not unique in covering this topic, it gives a quality tour of the homes of 21 writers. Other titles that might intrigue you are Writer's Houses and the book, Home: American Writers Remember Rooms of Their Own.
For each author, you get a brief background on that person and the house. There are photos, a listing of visiting hours, phone numbers and web sites.
This book was well researched by J.D. McClatchy and wonderfully photographed by Erica Lennard. And for once, it's so nice to read a book in which the photos go hand-in-hand with the prose and descriptions.
As stated by other reviewers, this book includes a short biography of many famous writers, such as: Ralph Waldo Emerson, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Washington Irving, Mark Twain, Wm Faulkner, Louisa May Alcott and many more.
The author then visited all the places that each author has lived, and has shown the reader the rooms (& accessories) that made each home so special to each writer.
Many of these rooms and writing accessories might surprise the readers, since after reading some of the authors' famous works, one would think that each author/poet had created such amazing literary works in the most inspiring and comfortable surroundings. Not so.... because when you look at each photograph, the reader may notice that some of the rooms in which the authors wrote, looked rather dark and lonely and cold (also, some of the furniture looks so uncomfortable) . In addition, many of the authors/poets wrote their famous works snuggled in their beds, (not even on a desk & chair)! Thus, J.D. McClatchy showed the reader each bedroom that the author slept in, or wrote in, and sometimes even lived in. Through these photographs, the reader can imagine what it must have been like for these famous writers to create their famous poems or short stories or novels.
It was so interesting to read and visually see how each author/poet viewed their writing experience.Read more ›

HTC profits collapse 70% in face of competition from Apple, SamsungFacing more intense competition from rivals Apple and Samsung, HTC announced on Friday that its pre-tax profits fell by almost 70 percent.
Total sales also fell by about a third in the first quarter of 2012, according to the Financial Times. The company said the products it launched in late 2011 did not match up well against Apple's iPhone 4S and the Samsung Galaxy Note.
HTC primarily relies on Google's Android mobile operating system for its phones, though it also sells devices running the Windows Phone platform. The company is the No. 3 smartphone maker in the world, behind Apple and Samsung.
HTC's disappointing results arrive as Samsung posted a record quarter with $5.1 billion in profit from $39.8 billion in sales. Samsung's first-quarter profit jumped nearly 100 percent year over year, while revenue increased by 20 percent.
Apple alone controls about 75 percent of the mobile industry's profits, and its next closest competitor is Samsung. Together, the two companies account for 90 percent of industry profits.
HTC officials admitted in February that their company was in the midst of a product transition that would hurt sales in early 2012. They specifically cited Apple's iPhone lineup and Samsung's smartphone offerings in the U.S. as the primary reason.
The smartphone maker also indicated in February that sales of its 4G LTE devices were lower than expected. HTC was one of the first companies to embrace high-speed long-term evolution wireless technology, while Apple recently introduced its first true 4G device, the new iPad, a month ago.

This movie is the anti-movie, and it enjoys every moment of it.

RICHARDSON, Texas, Aug. 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- SC-integrity, Inc. (LoJack SCI) announces today a new supply chain solution, with the introduction of "SC iOn Traxx," a unique, disposable tracking solution. The SC iOn Traxx is aimed at providing a low cost, high value, visibility and temperature sensing solution for the protection of cargo and assets in transit. When combined with the SC iOn Command Center, LoJack SCI's newest web-based tracking and visibility portal, the company expects to revolutionize the process of ensuring that business rules and regulatory compliance protocols are followed through supply chain movements. Through the use of highly reliable disposable units, SC iOn Traxx will eliminate the burden of expensive deployment and management costs typically associated with the reverse logistics of tracking devices.
The SC iOn Traxx was developed in concert with LoJack SCI's strategic partner, Locus Traxx Worldwide, which has thousands of its "SmartTraxx™ Go" products protecting produce, food and perishable products, worldwide. "We have taken advantage of what Locus Traxx has done in producing a highly unique product in high volumes for their market and adapted it to meet the protocols-based services for protecting the overall supply chain market," stated Ted Wlazlowski, CEO, LoJack SCI. "Their track record for high volume reliability, coupled with our visibility, monitoring and functional enhancements, makes this the most important product in years for covert cargo and supply chain tracking and visibility." Locus Traxx Worldwide CEO, David Benjamin says, "Our strategic vision to grow with a leading company like LoJack SCI is important to our mission. LoJack SCI's approach to the market brings great value to our customers."
The company has a very simple program for the SCI iOn Traxx. For a single fee per shipment, LoJack SCI customers will purchase and deploy the Traxx, following simple, user-friendly instructions. LoJack SCI will monitor the shipment according to its customer's protocols. The necessity for a cumbersome device retrieval process has been eliminated, as the Traxx can either be disposed of, or returned for a reward, once the device reaches its destination. "This uncomplicated approach is the means to relieve much of the burden the industry deals with in protecting shipments," Ted Wlazlowski continued.
About LoJack SCI
LoJack Supply Chain Integrity provides integrated solutions for supply chain protection that includes shared supply chain intelligence and analytics, covert cargo tracking, monitoring, and recovery services.
