Liquorice John Death (Procol Harum) - Ain't Nothin' To Get Excited About - 1997 - Sony [Re-released in 2002 on Repertoire and in 2005 by Friday Music]]
Ain't Nothin' to Get Excited About is an album of rock and roll songs recorded in 1970 at the Abbey Road studios by the members of Procol Harum under the name Liquorice John Death. It was not released until 1997. It's a bit of rarity, and regarded by many as a "fun project," it is full of great Rock 'N' Roll standards, and shows a very different side to Procol Harum. It also features Jack Lancaster from the great blues rock band, Blodwyn Pig on two tracks. A very unusual album from Procol Harum, but a very good one, and HR by A.O.O.F.C. There is info on Procol Harum's great "Home" album @ PHARUM/HOME and Gary Brooker's brilliant "Lead Me To The Water" album @ GBROOKER/LMTTW

Not ornate, stately, or even faintly progressive by Procol Harum standards, Liquorice John Death's Ain't Nothin' to Get Excited About brings Whiskey Train – the most volcanic rock cut that PH did outside Simple Sister – into focus as an Elvis cop plated with Brit heaviness and played by guys who plainly didn't always want to be restricted to In Held 'Twas in I. John Death, then, was a garage-pure R&R band given a pass in Abbey Road to loosen up for Procol's 1970 album Home. Having been known as the Paramounts prior to Harum stuffiness, John Death allowed Gary Brooker to slum as a rich man's Little Richard. Drummer BJ Wilson, by the evidence, did boogies and shuffles better than most Texans. And Robin Trower played a Les Paul – which still makes him Trower, only slightly thicker sounding, like a proto-metal BB King. Eighteen months later, the guitarist split to make more money in America, as a solo act playing barbiturate-flavored stuff far more like this than like A Salty Dog. In any case, Kansas City and Matchbox show the band could do reverence and roots things louder than the Beatles and heavier than the Stones when they wanted to, if not as recklessly as the Who. Plus, Brand New Cadillac coined Clash-rock about eight years before there was a Joe Strummer. The album cover was painted by a mentally ill fellow: Dave Mundy, furloughed from the nut hatch on afternoons by his good friends in the band. He gave them the odd name because it was more "rock and roll" than the Paramounts, then subsequently killed himself, and the boys wrote a song in his memory: For Liquorice John, which they put on Grand Hotel. Now there's a sad but still quietly affirming story. © George Smith in NY's Village Voice, 1 July 2003
In 1970 Gary Brooker asked me to produce Procol Harum's fourth album, Home. By now the line up consisted entirely of ex-members of the 60s R&B group The Paramounts. The most unsettling port of any recording session in those days was always achieving the best sound on each instrument – my aim was hopefully to make the instrument sound better in the control room than in the studio itself, as wished for by The Troggs on their legendary documentary recording of a recording – 'I've got a fucking sound in 'ere ...' When you are about to cut a new track and you just want to get on with it, you don't really want the producer to ask the drummer to hit the snare drum for the next 15 minutes in order to analyse or correct what needs to be done, so copying what I'd seen at Beatles sessions where they would go through their old favourites, I asked Procol to play anything they liked while we did what we needed to do. Gary was and is totally in his element singing this kind of stuff and I was quite happy to listen and not interrupt, even once we were ready to start the song we had to cut that night. From this was born the idea of hiring a studio for one night to put their old repertoire down. A few months after Home was released we booked Abbey Rood No 2 from 7 pm to 7am to record as much as we could and have a laugh in the process. We put Gary's vocals through a PA in the studio complete with Watkins copycat echo and invited Jack Lancaster from Blodwyn Pig to play sax and gave each song one take, including a new song that the boys had written specifically for the night. By 6.30 am they started Keep a Knocking – you can hear the results – time for bed. Sometime later during the construction of Air Studios in Oxford Circus they were giving the Neve desk in No.1 a trial before the studio area was completed. I took the tapes in and mixed about a dozen of my favourites and took a seven and a half inch copy for myself. A few years later Roger Scott at Capitol Radio heard of these tapes, and I lent them out for broadcast, never seeing them again until Gary phoned me a couple of weeks ago to tell me he had found some tapes and did I know anything about them. Well, they are my long-lost copies which you are listening to now. If someone somewhere is holding on to the masters – you're too late! © Chris Thomas 1998, from www.procolharum.com/so_liqjohn2.htm
In 1969, after finishing A Salty Dog, organist Matthew Fisher and bassist Dave Knights decided to exit the lineup of Procol Harum. The remaining members -- Gary Brooker, Robin Trower, and B.J. Wilson, in the course of reshaping the band -- added Chris Copping, who played both bass and keyboards had been part of the original lineup of the Paramounts, whence the rest of Procol Harum had come. The new version of the band was still working out their sound with neophyte producer Chris Thomas and in mid-January of 1970 decided to head to Abbey Road Studios for a series of informal demo sessions, devoted to straight-ahead rock & roll of the kind that they'd played as the Paramounts. The sessions, which were never intended for release but more as practice for all concerned, were jokingly credited to Licorice John Death & the All-Stars, a name once suggested by Dave Mundy, a session singer and an old friend of Gary Brooker's. The 38 songs from the sessions yielded 13 tracks that Thomas mixed, six of which were released (with the blessing of the participants) by EMI 28 years later in tandem with the original Paramounts' tracks on Abbey Road Decade 1963-1970 CD. Interestingly, these sides may have been informal demos to work out the group's sound and give Thomas a chance to practice working with the band, but they did anticipate the harder rockingsound that the reconstituted Procol Harum debuted on its next album, Home. © Bruce Eder, All Music Guide
Strictly speaking, this is not a Procol Harum album; it was recorded shortly after the band had finished working on their 1970 album Home. During these recording sessions, producer Chris Thomas asked the band to play some old favourites while he set up the equipment for recording. The band enjoyed playing these older songs, so a few months later Thomas booked the Abbey Road recording studio, and the band recorded all the tracks on this album in a single night. "We staggered out at dawn, having attempted about 45 songs. We didn't finish them all. I think the drummer collapsed half way through with laughter." "Well, I..." is the only song they played that was written by the group, and is drummer B.J. Wilson's sole songwriting credit. Although some tracks from the recording session were played by disc jockey Roger Scott on Capital Radio, to whom a tape was given, the fifteen-inch master tape was lost. The quarter-inch copy given to Scott also disappeared until the end of the 1990s, when it turened up in a box of tapes returned to the band by EMI-Chrysalis. A friend of the musicians called Dave Mundy was responsible for the name of the band and of the album, as well as for the album cover. In the early 1960s, the musicians had performed these songs around Southend as The Paramounts, a name given to them by their manager. Mundy had objected to this name, and devised one of his own for them, Liquorice John Death. After his suicide in 1972, it was found that Mundy had left all his possessions to Robin Trower, guitarist in The Paramounts and Procol Harum. These included a painting of an album cover for Liquorice John Death's Ain't Nothin' to Get Excited About. When the band found themselves able to release the album, they felt that there was no alternative but to use Mundy's ideas and cover. Mundy is remembered in the song For Liquorice John (think 'Fall Icarus John') on Procol Harum's 1973 album Grand Hotel.
Procol Harum is arguably the most successful "accidental" group creation -- that is, a band originally assembled to take advantage of the success of a record created in the studio -- in the history of progressive rock. With "A Whiter Shade of Pale" a monster hit right out of the box, the band evolved from a studio ensemble into a successful live act, their music built around an eclectic mix of blues-based rock riffs and grand classical themes. With singer/pianist Gary Brooker and lyricist Keith Reid providing the band's entire repertory, their music evolved in decidedly linear fashion, the only major surprises coming from the periodic lineup changes that added a new instrumental voice to the proceedings. At their most accessible, as on "A Whiter Shade of Pale" and "Conquistador," they were one of the most popular of progressive rock bands, their singles outselling all rivals, and their most ambitious album tracks still have a strong following. Procol Harum's roots and origins are as convoluted as its success -- especially between 1967 and 1973 -- was pronounced. Pianist Gary Brooker (b. May 29, 1945, Southend, Essex, England) had formed a group at school called the Paramounts at age 14, with guitarist Robin Trower (b. Mar. 9, 1945, Southend, Essex) and bassist Chris Copping (b. Aug. 29, 1945 Southend, Essex), with singer Bob Scott and drummer Mick Brownlee. After achieving a certain degree of success at local youth clubs and dances, covering established rock & roll hits, Brooker took over the vocalist spot from the departed Scott, and the group continued working after its members graduated -- by 1962, they were doing formidable (by British standards) covers of American R&B, and got a residency at the Shades Club in Southend. Brownlee exited the band in early 1963 and was replaced by Barry J. (B.J.) Wilson (b. Mar. 18, 1947, Southend, Essex), who auditioned after answering an ad in Melody Maker. Nine months later, in September of 1963, bassist Chris Copping opted out of the professional musicians' corps to attend Leicester University, and he was replaced by Diz Derrick. The following month, the Paramounts demo record, consisting of covers of the Coasters' "Poison Ivy" and Bobby Bland's "Farther on up the Road," got them an audition at EMI. This resulted in their being signed to the Parlophone label, with their producer, Ron Richards, the recording manager best-known for his many years of work with the Hollies. The Paramounts' first single, "Poison Ivy," released in January of 1964, reached number 35 on the British charts. The group also got an important endorsement from the Rolling Stones, with whom they'd worked on the television show Thank Your Lucky Stars, who called the Paramounts their favorite British R&B band. Unfortunately, none of the group's subsequent Parlophone singles over the next 18 months found any chart success, and by mid-'66, the Paramounts had been reduced to serving as a backing band for popsters Sandy Shaw and Chris Andrews. In September of 1966, the Paramounts went their separate ways; Derrick out of the business, Trower and Wilson to gigs with other bands, and, most fortuitously, Gary Brooker decided to develop his career as a songwriter. This led Brooker into a partnership with lyricist Keith Reid (b. Oct. 19, 1945), whom he met through a mutual acquaintance, R&B impresario Guy Stevens. By the spring of 1967, they had a considerable body of songs prepared and began looking for a band to play them. An advertisement in Melody Maker led to the formation of a band initially called the Pinewoods, with Brooker as pianist/singer, Matthew Fisher (b. Mar. 7, 1946, Croydon, Surrey) on organ, Ray Royer (b. Oct. 8, 1945) on guitar, Dave Knights (b. June 28, 1945, London) on bass, and Bobby Harrison (b. June 28, 1943, London) on drums. Their first recording, produced by Denny Cordell, was of a piece of surreal Reid poetry called "A Whiter Shade Of Pale," which Brooker set to music loosely derived from Johann Sebastian Bach's Air on a G String from the Suite No. 3 in D Major. By the time this recording was ready for release, the Pinewoods had been rechristened Procol Harum, a name derived, as alternate stories tell it, either from Stevens' cat's birth certificate, Procol Harun, or the Latin "procul" for "far from these things" (hey, it was the mid-'60s, and either is possible). In early May of 1967, the group performed "A Whiter Shade of Pale" at the Speakeasy Club in London, while Cordell arranged for a release of the single on English Decca (London Records in America), on the companies' Deram label. Ironically, Cordell's one-time clients the Moody Blues were about to break out of a long commercial tail-spin on the very same label with a similar, classically-tinged pair of recordings, "Nights in White Satin" and "Days of Future Passed," and between the two groups and their breakthrough hits, Deram Records would be permanently characterized as a progressive rock imprint. Cordell had also sent a copy of "A Whiter Shade of Pale" to Radio London, one of England's legendary off-shore pirate radio stations (they competed with the staid BBC, which had the official broadcast monopoly, and were infinitely more beloved by the teenagers and most bands), which played the record. Not only was Radio London deluged with listener requests for more plays, but Deram suddenly found itself with orders for a record not scheduled for release for another month -- before May was half over, it was pushed up on the schedule and rushed into shops. Meanwhile, the prototypal Procol Harum made its concert debut in London opening for Jimi Hendrix at the Saville Theater on June 4, 1967. Four days later, "A Whiter Shade of Pale" reached the top of the British charts for the first of a six-week run in the top spot, making Procol Harum only the sixth recording act in the history of British popular music to reach the number one spot on its first release (not even the Beatles did that). The following month, the record reached number five on the American charts, with sales in the United States rising to over a million copies (and six million copies worldwide). All of this seemed to bode well for the band, except for the fact that it had only a single song in its repertory and no real stage act -- literal one-hit wonders. The same month that the record peaked in the United States, Royer and Harrison were sacked and replaced by Brooker's former Paramounts bandmates Robin Trower and B.J. Wilson on guitar and drums, respectively. The "real" Procol Harum band was now in place and a second single, "Homburg," was duly recorded. Reminiscent of "Whiter Shade of Pale" in its tone of dark grandeur, this single, released in October of 1967 on EMI's Regal Zonophone label, got to number six on the British charts. The group's debut album, entitled Procol Harum, managed to reach number 47 in America during October of 1967, based on "A Whiter Shade of Pale" being among its tracks (which included the first version of "Conquistador") -- but a British version of the LP, issued over there without the hit, failed to attract any significant sales. The single "Homburg," however, got no higher than number 34 in America a month later. On March 26, 1968, "A Whiter Shade of Pale" won the International Song of the Year award at the 13th Annual Ivor Novello Awards (sort of the British equivalent of the Grammys). The group's newest single, "Quite Rightly So," however, only reached the number 50 spot in England in April of that year. A new contract for the group was secured with A&M Records in America (they remained on Regal Zonophone in England), and by November, a second album, Shine on Brightly, highlighted by an 18-minute epic entitled "In Held 'Twas I," was finished and in the stores, and rose to number 24 in America but failed to chart in England. The next month, they were playing the Miami Pop Festival in front of 100,000 people, on a bill that included Chuck Berry, Canned Heat, the blues version of Fleetwood Mac, and the Turtles, among others. In March of 1969, David Knights and Matthew Fisher exited the lineup shortly after finishing work on the group's new album, A Salty Dog, preferring management and production to the performing side of the music business. Knights' departure opened the way for bassist Chris Copping to join Procol Harum (thus re-creating the lineup of the Paramounts), playing bass and organ. Another American tour followed the next month, and in June of 1969 A Salty Dog was issued. This record, considered by many to be the original group's best work, combined high-energy blues and classical influences on a grand scale, and returned the band to the U.S. charts at number 32, while the title song ascended the British charts to number 44. The album subsequently reached number 27 in England, the group's first long-player to chart in their own country. Despite the group's moderate sales in England and America, they remained among the more popular progressive rock bands, capable of reaching more middle-brow listeners who didn't have the patience for Emerson, Lake & Palmer or King Crimson. Robin Trower's flashy guitar quickly made him the star of the group, as much as singer/pianist Brooker, and he was considered in the same league with Alvin Lee and any number of late-'60s/early-'70s British blues axemen. Matthew Fisher's stately, cathedral-like organ had been a seminal part of the band's sound, juxtaposed with Trower's blues-based riffing and Reid's unusual, darkly witty lyrics as voiced by Brooker. Following Fisher's departure, the group took on a more straightforward rock sound, but Trower's playing remained a major attraction to the majority of fans. "Whaling Stories" was an example of quintessential Procol Harum, a mix of 19th century oratorio that sounds like it came out of a Victorian-era cathedral, with fiery blues riffs blazing at its center. And being soaked in Reid's dark, eerie, regret-filled lyrics didn't stop "A Salty Dog" from becoming one of the group's most popular songs. It was a year before their next album, Home, was released, in June of 1970, ascending to the American number 34 and the British 49 spot. This marked the end of the group's contract with Regal Zonophone/EMI, and on the release of their next LP in July of 1971, they were now on Chrysalis in England. Broken Barricades reached number 32 in America and 41 in England, but it also marked the departure of Robin Trower. The founding guitarist left that month and subsequently organized his own group, with a sound modeled along lines similar to Jimi Hendrix, which had great success in America throughout the 1970s. Trower's replacement, Dave Ball (b. Mar. 30, 1950), joined the same month, and the lineup expanded by one with the addition of Alan Cartwright on bass, which freed Chris Copping to concentrate full-time on the organ. The group returned to something of the sound it had before Fisher's departure, although Trower was a tough act to follow. It was this version of the band that performed on August 6, 1971 in a concert with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra and the DaCamera Singers in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada -- the concert was a bold and expansive, richly orchestrated re-consideration of earlier material (though not "A Whiter Shade of Pale") from the group's repertory, and, released as an official live album in 1972, proved to be the group's most successful LP release, peaking at number five and drawing in thousands of new fans. In England, Procol Harum Live: In Concert With the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra only rose to number 48 in May of 1972, but it was competing with a reissue of the group's debut album (retitled A Whiter Shade of Pale, with the single added) paired with A Salty Dog, which outperformed it considerably, reaching number 26. A single lifted from the live record, "Conquistador," redone in a rich and dramatic version, shot to number 16 in America and 22 in England that summer. Soon after, the U.S. distributor of the debut album, London Records, got further play from that record by re-releasing it with a sticker announcing the presence of "the original version of "Conquistador." Amid all of this success, the group's lineup again was thrown into turmoil in September when Dave Ball left Procol Harum to join Long John Baldry's band. He was replaced by Mick Grabham, formerly of the bands Plastic Penny and Cochise. The band's next album, Grand Hotel, was a delightfully melodic and decadent collection (anticipating Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music in some respects) that featured guest backing vocals by Christianne Legrand of the a cappella singing group the Swingle Singers. That record, their first released on Chrysalis in America as well as England, peaked at number 21. Six months later, A&M released the first compilation of the band's material, Best of Procol Harum, which only made it to number 131 on the charts. The group's next two albums, Exotic Birds and Fruit (May 1974) and Procol's Ninth (September 1975), the latter produced by rock & roll songsmiths Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, performed moderately well, and "Pandora's Box" from Procol's Ninth became one of their bigger hits in England, rising to number 16. July of 1976 saw a departure and a lateral shift in the group's lineup, as Alan Cartwright left the band and Chris Copping took over on bass, while Pete Solley joined as keyboard player. By this time, the band's string had run out, as everyone seemed to know. A new album, Something Magic, barely scraped the U.S. charts in April of 1977, and the band split up following a final tour and a farewell concert at New York's Academy of Music on May 15, 1977. Only five months later, the band was back together for a one-off performance of "A Whiter Shade of Pale," which had taken on a life of its own separate from the group -- the song was named joint winner (along with "Bohemian Rhapsody") of the Best British Pop Single 1952-1977, at the Britannia Awards to mark Queen Elizabeth II's Silver Jubilee, and the band performed it live at the awards ceremony. Apart from Trower, Gary Brooker was the most successful and visible of all ex-Procol Harum members, releasing three solo albums between 1979 and 1985. Fear of Flying (1979) on Chrysalis, produced by George Martin, attracted the most attention, but Lead Me to the Water (1982) on Mercury had some notable guest artists, including Eric Clapton and Phil Collins, while Echoes in the Night (1985) was co-produced by Brooker's former bandmate Matthew Fisher. During the late '80s, however, Brooker had turned to writing orchestral music, principally ballet material, but this didn't stop him from turning up as a guest at one of the annual Fairport Convention reunions (Procol Harum and Fairport had played some important early gigs together) at Cropredy, Oxfordshire, in August of 1990 to sing "A Whiter Shade of Pale." Still, Procol Harum had faded from the consciousness of the music world by the end of the 1980s. The death of B.J. Wilson in 1990 went largely unreported, to the chagrin of many fans, and it seemed as though the group was a closed book. Then, in August of 1991, Brooker re-formed Procol Harum with Trower, Fisher, Reid, and drummer Mark Brzezicki. An album, Prodigal Stranger, was recorded and released, and an 11-city tour of North America took place in September of 1991. Although this lineup didn't last -- Trower and company, after all, were pushing 50 at the time -- Brooker has kept a new version of Procol Harum together, in the guise of himself, guitarist Geoffrey Whitehorn, keyboardman Don Snow, and Brzezicki on drums, which toured the United States in 1992. © Bruce Eder, AMG

My Asparagus Is in a Pickle
I love asparagus! I'm sure you do too and that's why you're here. This time of year my family just can't get enough of it. I did another bulk buy last week and purchased 10 pounds of asparagus for $15. That's a great price for the beginning of the season.
We ate it with eggs and Hollandaise sauce a few times. We ate it plain with butter (my personal favorite).
After 4 days of fresh asparagus, it's time to find ways to put the leftovers into storage.
There are several ways to preserve your asparagus for the long and dreary months when it costs $4.99 a pound in the grocery. Believe me, if you love asparagus, you'll be glad you purchased some now and learned how to preserve it.
3 Ways to Preserve Asparagus
#1 Blanch and Freeze your Asparagus
The process for blanching vegetables includes boiling them in hot water for a specified period of time. Usually 2 to 5 minutes depending on the vegetable. The blanching time for medium size stalks of asparagus is 3 minutes. You can get all the details about how to do it in our previous post, To Blanch or Not to Blanch.
I like to take shortcuts with my blanching and freezing if I can get away with it. It's my personal preference to skip this step with asparagus. It's not something that the USDA or a Master Canner would probably recommend, but I have personally had great success skipping the blanching step with asparagus.
Here's what you could do: Cut the spears into 1-inch pieces. If you plan on using them in a frittata or soup in the next three months, skip the blanching altogether. If you plan on keeping the asparagus in the freezer for up to a year, then blanch and freeze is the recommended method.
#2 Pickle your Asparagus
I think this might be my second favorite way to eat asparagus! Here's how to preserve asparagus spears in a water bath canner. Makes 7 pints, depending on the height of your jars.
- 5 pounds of asparagus spears, washed, dried and cut 1 inch shorter than your pint jars.
- Pack them vertically into clean, hot jars.
- On the stove top: in a non-reactive pan, combine 5 cups apple cider vinegar, 1-1/4 cup water, a heaping 1/4 cup of canning salt, 2 tablespoons sugar, 2 tablespoons of pickling spice, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional) and 2 tablespoons fresh, chopped, garlic.
- Bring the brine to a low boil for 5 minutes.
- Divide the hot brine and spices evenly between your canning jars by ladling in the brine until the asparagus is completely covered.
- Leave 1/2 inch of headspace between the top of the jar and the liquid. Process for 15 minutes in a water bath canner.
You can safely adjust the amount of spice, pepper flakes and garlic to make your asparagus spears more or less spicy. You cannot safely change the vinegar -water – salt ratio if you plan on water bath canning this recipe. See our previous post on water bath canning for in-depth directions.
Of course, you could create the brine, cover them and place the jars the refrigerator. It will take about 48 hours for the brine to flavor the asparagus. These will last in your refrigerator for an extended period of time – to up to 30 days (if you can keep them around that long).
#3 Use the ends to make your own Asparagus Stock
Once you have those beautiful spears pickled, you will be left with six to eight cups of leftover stalks. These are perfectly good for using in soups, with eggs and other ways you would normally use asparagus.
Simple Asparagus Stock. Makes about 2 quarts.
6 cups asparagus ends
9 cups water
1 medium onion, chopped
1 large carrot, grated
1 handful parsley sprigs
1 tsp. black pepper
Salt to taste
Combine all ingredients in a 4-quart saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Skim off any impurities that rise to the top. Turn heat down to low and cover with lid. Simmer for an hour. Remove from heat and strain or use a stick blender to create a smooth consistency. Cool completely before storing.
Keep your vegetable stock in the refrigerator for about two weeks or in your freezer for six months.
I've created a free handy checklist for you! I call it The Canning Checklist. It doesn't have a fancy name…but it sure is handy when you're canning!
Use it as a reference for the entire canning process. You'll find it helpful to have a step-by-step reference for where you're at in the process – when do you adjust the heat, how long should you process these jars for, how much water goes into a pressure canner? You get the idea.
The canning checklist has it all spelled out in simple steps, so there is no more guessing. If you find yourself lost in the process of canning, this may be the answer.
What are bulk buys? I like to purchase fruits, vegetables, and grains at wholesale prices and "put them up" for future use. It saves my family a ton of money! Some previous bulk buys I've done – tomatoes – chia seed – quinoa – oranges – sweet potato – Yukon gold potato – Walla Walla onion

Spoiler Alert [ROADS OF KIAROSTAMI]
From the June 9, 2006 Chicago Reader. I can happily report that Roads of Kiarostami has appeared as an extra on the DVD of Kiarostami's Shirin released by Cinema Guild. — J.R.
Roads of Kiarostami
*** (A must see)
Directed and written by Abbas Kiarostami
The definition of what qualifies as commercial movie fare seems to have shrunk to works that appeal to teens and preteens. Meanwhile the definition of experimental film — which traditionally has meant abstract, nonnarrative, and small-format works produced in a garret — has been expanding to address wider audiences. An ambitious DVD box set released last year, "Unseen Cinema: Early American Avant-Garde Film 1894-1941," includes lavish Busby Berkeley production numbers and juvenilia by Orson Welles. And last year's Onion City Experimental Film and Video Festival opened with a dazzling 35-millimeter short by Michelangelo Antonioni, Michelangelo Eye to Eye.
This year Onion City's opening-night program reflects this tendency even more: it includes a video by cult horror director Kiyoshi Kurosawa, Peter Tscherkassky's radical reworking of footage from The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly in 35-millimeter and 'Scope, Andy Warhol's two 1966 "screen tests" with Bob Dylan, and best of all Abbas Kiarostami's half-hour Roads of Kiarostami.… Read more »

Manchester based distributor Nimans is planning an enhanced series of trade roadshows for 2007, designed to recruit more resellers and educate those already in a specific brand channel. Dealers will be offered a more informed choice about continual product developments and software upgrades.
Nationwide venues are currently being selected for 2007 covering Panasonic, Siemens, Mitel, Ericsson, Avaya and NEC, the major brands Nimans works with. Confirmed dates for 2007 so far include:
Ericsson – 6th February (Manchester) and 8th February (Basingstoke)
Avaya – 13th February (Manchester), 15th February (Scotland) and 20th February (Guildford)
NEC – 22nd February in Newcastle.
Siemens – 6th March (Milton Keynes) and 8th March (Manchester)
Panasonic – April 24th (Manchester) and 26th (Bracknell)
Nimans' Phone Systems Sales Manager, Phil Adams, said: "2006 marked our first universal series of roadshows rolled out across all brands and it was a resounding success. There was something different and dedicated for each manufacturer. In 2007 we are planning to run these roadshows on a continual basis, highlighting new messages, trends and developments to the market on an on-going basis.
"There will be more roadshows, more dealer days, more education and more recruitment, as part of an aggressive assault by Nimans to grow the channel for each brand we work with. Our aim is to enhance and build on what has been achieved so far."
Nimans is one of the UK's largest telecommunications and data distribution specialists for telephones, telephone systems, headsets, audio and video conferencing units, integrated systems, structured cabling solutions and all ancillary products, offering the highest levels of customer service and support, from next day delivery to pre and post sales technical expertise.
Adams added: "The emphasis in 2007 is on recruiting more resellers to the brands we offer, building the channel and enhancing each reseller's product portfolio. We are not saying to resellers that they should stop selling what they have already but offer an alternative switch that adds value and basically gives them a greater reach into the market – more choice for them and their customers.
"Our aim is to encourage a greater selection of people, selling our products, building knowledge and evangelising products around those resellers to make sure they have a clear understanding of how to take that product to market and how to position it. It's about informing and educating."

Limnonectes larvaepartus Facts
- The recently discovered Limnonectes larvaepartus represents a unique species of frog. This newly recognized and rather remarkable animal species does not yet possess a common name.
- Astonishingly, this incredible amphibian also represents one of only four known varieties of a frog to develop fang-like teeth.
- Currently 6,455 extant species of frog are known to science. But this one represents one of only twelve to reproduce internally.
- To add to its distinctiveness, it is the only known frog on earth to not only conceive internally but to give birth to fully developed tadpoles.
- The other species of frogs to give birth to live young deliver froglets.

Limnonectes larvaepartus Physical Description
The surprising Limnonectes larvaepartus displays a slight degree of sexual dimorphism. Overall, the species averages roughly 1.5 in (3.8 cm) in length.
However, females average slightly larger in length. Yet the males have a slightly stouter body shape. This lightweight species reaches only 0.18 oz (5 grams) in weight.
The upper portions of the body vary in color. This portion may be either brownish gray, golden tan or reddish-brown. The underbelly of the Limnonectes larvaepartus may be either cream-colored or yellowish.
- Kingdom: Animalia
- Phylum: Chordata
- Class: Amphibia
- Order: Anura
- Family: Dicroglossidae
- Genus: Limnonectes
- Species: L. larvaepartus
Limnonectes larvaepartus Distribution, Habitat, and Ecology
The diminutive Limnonectes larvaepartus remains endemic only to the island of Sulawesi, Indonesia, in Asia. It also remains unclear if the creature ever possessed a more extensive range.
The habitat of the diminutive marvel consists of a rather dense jungle. Also, typically near streams, located amid the mountainous regions of the island.
After mating, females typically produce about 100 eggs. How the surprising creature achieves internal reproduction actually remains a complete mystery, however.
This occurs because the male possesses no discernible reproductive organ. Thus, Nature still holds many mysteries.

Singapore leads the Asia Pacific with similar workforce potential to Australia. Increased levels of language proficiency and the quality of the labor along with a very favorable regulatory environment outweigh the higher costs associated with this labor market for specific types of engagements. As Singapore continues to mature it has enhanced labor laws to create a viable and strong labor market for all types of engagements. This market strikes a nice balance for both workers and employers.
While financial and business services still lead hiring activity, there is an expanded demand in the market for information technology workers with skills specifically related to the blockchain, cloud computing, and information security. E-commerce growth is boosting the need for skills in the logistics sector, increasing the demand for warehouse and delivery workers. The manufacturing sector has also experienced heavy hiring related to the high demand for semiconductor parts..
Investments in new laboratories and scholarships seek to boost candidate knowledge as they relate to data analytics, digital marketing, cybersecurity, cloud computing, the blockchain, and robotics. While employers in this market also seek candidates who possess soft-skills such as problem solving, communication and collaboration skills.

All the fall colors are taking over but I've been wearing so much black lately. It's just something I wear a lot when it's this time of year (this sounds like it is Christmas already). But I've not only worn black as the title says… This outfit features a lot of my favorite items for the colder weather at the moment, so let's check it out!
Jeans: ONLY € 39,95 | Shoes: Graceland € 29,90
My jeans are a little different than I would normally wear. Mostly I just wear stretchy jeans because those are really comfortable but last week I got these leather/waxed looking jeans. I don't know but at first I didn't really like them because I don't usually go for this kind of jean but I actually really like how they look and fit.
Then on to shoes… The booties I am wearing are definitely one of my favorites for fall. I found the perfect booties from Acne but those are so expensive and I don't think I can spend that much money on shoes (even tough I love getting new shoes). So when I saw these, I just had to get them!
Cardigan: Boohoo € 29,99 | Top: Bella Ragazza € 12,95
In this outfit I am not really wearing a jacket. That's because I always wear leather jackets and I just really wanted to wear this fuzzy cardigan. If it was possible, I would live in it, so yeah. But if I was going outside on a rainy fall day, I would definitely wear a pretty leather jacket or a parka like the ones here.
And for some reason I've really been loving striped tops. A couple of weeks ago I showed my latest purchases where I bought a dark blue striped top from Brandy Melville and later that week I also got one with thinner stripes (as you can see here of course). If I wore this outfit with a plain white t-shirt, it would have looked boring but the stripes make it somewhat interesting and I like that.
Bag: Vimodos € 64,95 | Tassle Bracelet: Beadsbylotte € 3,00
With this outfit I am wearing really random jewelry. I just saw some pieces and just put them on so this is how it ended up looking. First of: a Buddha bracelet, which I actually made myself. Then I grabbed this grey bracelet with a tassel from Beadsbylotte. And lastly: I don't feel complete without wearing a ring so I put on this really simple ring that has some detail (I can't remember where I got it from).
On to my bag… I can never leave my house without a bag. I just feel empty when I don't bring a bag somewhere. This is a black (surprise) medium size bag from Vimodos. It's very practical because it has just one big main section in the bag with three little pockets to put your phone and other important stuff in and a zipper pocket in the front of the bag. As I already told in a previous blog post, I can't really handle big bags and sometimes it's hard to find the perfect bag but this is a great addition to my collection of black bags.
This is an outfit that is really casual but it's also an outfit you can really dress up. If I would wear this to a "girls night out" I would dress it up with a statement necklace and a leather jacket. If you would like to wear the booties and cardigan but make the outfit a little bit more fancy, I would pair these items with a striped t-shirt dress. But if you are going to a really fancy dinner or party, you could also just wear a more fancy dress with the booties. I don't know but I think the items I am wearing are really versatile, which I love. What is your favorite item of my outfit and why?
This was posted in collaboration with Vimodos

For mamat and others interested in this bike.
This bike started way back in 1980s. The latest model is ard 2001
Specs can be found below.
This bike is very similar to the Honda Super 4 ver S.
Tank:16L, between 23km-25km per lite.
Top speed:Specs stated as 200km/h. Some tried it before(read on net). I only tried 145km on ecp. Rpm was around 8800. Normal cruise at 100km/h, rpm is at 5500.
Maintainance wise, 3L of oil, one oil filter, and 4 spark plugs. Does not know any quirks of this bike yet...
I was thinking of getting a Super 4 also but...
Compared to Super4,
1)Retro look, I like...
2)Cheaper, Paid $3.6k(bike only, 1996 model. Registered in 1998, so is 5 years old)
Compared to $4k-$5k for a ver S. or >$7k for vtec1.
3)Servicing is cheaper. $35 for carbs and tuning at Guan Hoe, another $10 for valve checking. Total is $45. Spark plugs and oil can change urself.
S4 is $60 for carbs cleaning, tuning is another $35(not sure)?. Then valve checking? Another $100(not sure)???
Bottomline, loved it for the looks. Save more $ for a class 2 bike.

The Trump administration has finalized rules allowing employers with religious or moral objections to providing contraceptives to female employees and dependents to opt out of the Affordable Care Act provision otherwise requiring non-grandfathered health plans to provide such coverage without cost sharing.
The newly issued final rules follow the interim final rules issued in 2017 (see our 2017 Alert) with only minor modifications.
Lockton comment: As was the case with the interim final rules, we expect the newly final regulations will also be subject to court challenge.
The contraceptive mandate and the exemptions to it have a long, contentious history, which we detailed in our prior Alert summarizing the interim final rules. These final rules are the next chapter in the story and closely track the religious and moral exemptions first expressed in those interim final rules.
Religious exemption: Like the interim final regulations, the final regulations exempt all nongovernmental entities that object to providing coverage of some or all contraceptives based on sincerely held religious beliefs. This exemption applies to churches, nonprofits, and both closely held and publicly traded for-profit entities.
Moral exemption: The final rules also adopt the exemption for employers who, while not opposed to the contraception mandate on religious grounds, are morally opposed to some or all required contraceptives. This exemption applies to all nonprofit organizations and for-profit entities that are not publicly traded.
The final rules make it clear that both objections are available with respect to student health insurance provided by an objecting institution of higher learning.
The final rules also clarify that an entity objecting to some but not all types of contraceptives must still offer to female enrollees the contraceptives to which the entity does not have an objection.
Lockton comment: Employers wishing to avail themselves of either the religious or moral exemption will want to ensure their objections are documented. Employers should update plan documents and notify enrollees of any changes in coverage, as described in our prior Alert.
Objecting employers whose plans are subject to state insurance laws (e.g., insured plans and, in some states, self-funded plans not subject to ERISA) will also need to consider state contraceptive mandates and exemption procedures that may limit the employers' ability to avail themselves of the federal exemption.
Voluntary accommodation results in coverage of contraceptives for female enrollees
A prior rule required most objecting employers to notify the federal government or the plan's insurer or third-party administrator (TPA) of the objection. This notice was designed to trigger an independent obligation on the part of the insurer or TPA to provide female enrollees with contraceptive benefits through a policy or program separate from the objecting employer's plan. The final rules eliminate this notification and third-party coverage requirement, but they do allow employers to voluntarily provide the notice. Where an employer does so, the notice triggers the same obligation on the part of the insurer or TPA to provide the independent contraceptive benefit for female enrollees.
Litigation likely to block enforcement of the newly final rules
The interim final rules were challenged in court almost immediately after they were issued months ago. Those challenges continue to work their way toward the Supreme Court. In the meantime, lower courts have blocked the Trump administration's ability to enforce the interim final rules. We suspect the newly final rules, which are nearly identical to the interim final rules, will soon be subject to the same lawsuits and enforcement prohibitions.
Lockton comment: Employers wishing to take advantage of the exemption in the new rules despite the court rulings prohibiting their enforcement will want to discuss their plans with legal counsel, as they might trigger a challenge from female plan enrollees.
Not Legal Advice: Nothing in this Alert should be construed as legal advice. Lockton may not be considered your legal counsel and communications with Lockton's Compliance Services group are not privileged under the attorney-client privilege.View this alert

TROTWOOD — UPDATE @ 11:35 p.m.
A man was pouring gasoline into his generator outside next to his garage late Wednesday night when it ignited.
The fire was reported around 10:45 p.m. in the 200 block of Elkins Avenue.
Once the fire sparked, the man was burned after he ran into the garage to pull out his lawn mowers.
He was taken to Miami Valley Hospital for treatment of injuries described as not life-threatening, a Trotwood fire official said.
The fire melted some of the siding to the exterior of the garage, and the lawn mowers were damaged.
The garage did not sustain any damage to its structure.
Crews are called Wednesday night to a report of a house fire.
The fire was reported around 10:45 p.m. in the 200 block of Elkins Avenue.
The blaze was reported initially as a garage fire, but the garage is attached to the house.
At least one other fire department has been called to assist.
We are on the way and will update this report as we learn details.

Seeing your favorite pop star all over magazines and wishing that you were like them? There's no need to keep wishing, for you can dress like a K-pop star by following the suggestions for choosing clothes and makeup that define this style.
1Observe your favorite K-pop star's style. Watch videos and check out multiple pictures of your favorite stars online. Do you notice that they always wear their hair a certain way, or tend to choose one color over the other? This will help you get a feel of their overall style.
- Keep in mind that the styles will change about every 3 months or so. K-pop idols like to keep fans on their toes, and you may opt for a few trends that have been fairly long-lasting.
2Find the look. After seeing what your favorite K-pop star wears, pick your favorite outfit of theirs or create one in your head. If this is an event where you want people to know who you are, you will probably be better off just wearing something that they've worn before. Remember that not all fashion will be easily accessible; remember, you are only trying to create a resemblance.
- Most K-pop starts dress in metallic, glittery, or flashy outfits. Girls would wear shiny, blazers. Guys wear simple things such as corduroy jackets, jeans, or flashy tennis.
3Buy the clothes. Costumes can get pretty pricey. If you look on the internet, the basic but well made costumes can run up to $200! However, with a little extra work, you can get the clothes for a lot less. After having the outfit in mind that you want, go to a local thrift store. This may take a couple stores to go through before you find all that you need, but in the end, it will be worth it. You'll have the costume and have saved a ton of money.
4Remember that J-pop and K-pop are not the same thing. People tend to get these two confused. Japanese fashion is much funkier and hip, while Korean fashion is more classy and trendy.
- Choose a style of clothing that has a certain outstanding visual pattern to it. Make it more western-like. It's okay to get creative with it, but just make sure you don't go too gaudy!
5Choose the makeup. Makeup is very important for both guys and girls.
- Wear eye liner. Guys can use just a little it on the outer edge of their eyes, while girls can go for edgy looks with little eye shadow and lipstick. Sometimes the stars don't even wear any eye shadow, so that might be your choice too.
- For guys, try not to overdo with the foundation, instead use a light BB cream in order to get a natural-looking complexion. An eyeliner always works magic by bringing out the eyes. A bronzer may also be applied to get a tanned look. Lip gloss will work wonders to get that kissable lips that will make female fans go gaga.
- For girls, K-pop style is usually quite showy and exaggerated, hence you need to double your makeup to get that look. Be dramatic. Be generous with the eyeliner, false lashes, mascara, foundation and more.
6Show it off. Do your make-up, put on your outfit and rock the night!
7Try out something more. Look up some Korean eyes and draw the eyeliner on yourself carefully. Also, wear double eyelid stickers to form some double eye lids to match with your Korean look. Most Koreans wear blended eyeliner that blends in with some Peach colored eyeshadow. It look more natural if you wear rosy eyeshadow tones.
8Make a strong pout. When K-Pop stars do their lips, they look like an ombre from their regular skintone to their rosy red lipstick. This is a natural feature to make the look more real! Just add a rosy red lipstick color onto your lips, then, add foundation to a Q-Tip and put little foundation dots on the edge of your lips. Blend it in by making it look like a fade lip color. This will create a nice, natural K-Pop look to go along with your outfits.Advertisement
Community Q&A
QuestionIf I am a girl, is it okay to follow the fashion trends of my favorite male vocalist in a K-Pop group, or would it look odd?Community AnswerGo for it. It's not odd at all, fashion is a way of representing who you are, regardless of gender. If you like that particular style, you should feel free to incorporate it into your look.
QuestionWhat If I don't have any metallic, glittery or flashy outfits? What else can I wear?Community AnswerYou don't have to wear all glittery or a flashy outfits. Just wear trendy clothing and accessories that might look good like a baseball cap and mask.
QuestionWhat color lip gloss should guys wear?Sutthinee HawjCommunity AnswerGuys should stick to natural colors such as red and pink. Most K-pop boys don't wear bright or unnatural colors on their lips.
QuestionI want to dress like Lisa, but I am Chinese, therefore I have black hair, not blond, and my mom will not let me do makeup, dye my hair, grow my hair, buy costumes, etc. What do I do?Community AnswerIt depends on how old you are, if you are older (e.g. 18+), then you are old enough to have a mature conversation with your mother about dyeing your hair and wearing makeup. However, if you are a child, then enjoy how you look now, when you grow up you can look however you want. If you really want makeup, start by asking if you can use basic beauty products (e.g. lip gloss or concealer). I know Lisa is beautiful, but so are you!
QuestionHow do I dress like a K-pop star if I am a male?Community AnswerMost male K-pop idols wear tight fitting pants and looser shirts. But find an idol and use that person as you're inspiration. They all have slightly different looks.
QuestionI don't know much about fashion (or makeup), so what can I do?Community AnswerGo on to Pinterest and watch YouTube videos. YouTube videos are the ultimate guide for people who are learning about fashion and makeup. Some good YouTubers are Michelle Phan, Tess Christine, Meredith Foster, and Bethany Mota.
QuestionHow do I look like Park Jimin when I can't dye my hair. Any ideas?Community AnswerJust keep your natural hair nice and shiny as Jimin does, put on some natural colored lip gloss, a little eyeliner, and a matching skin foundation (not too much).
QuestionHow can I find BTS-inspired outfits or pieces of clothing that are cheap and for females?Community AnswerTry thrift stores. Go for something a few sizes too big. Find a trendy hoodie or t-shirt and pair with skinny jeans or leggings.
QuestionWhat if I want to look like V from B.T.S., but I am female?Community AnswerThat's okay. Just cut your hair or buy a wig, dye it (or buy a silver wig), get color contacts and lip gloss and you're done.
QuestionWhat if I am a Latina without much money?Community AnswerIt doesn't matter if you're Latino or if you don't have money. The only thing that matters is you use what you have to look trendy or whatever look you're going for.
- Try to think outside the box. If a person you admire is wearing all black and white clothing, and it is torn in places, what could you do to personalize the outfit?
- Try various hairstyles.
- Make sure you know how to accessorize and match. Remember: Add the belt, get rid of the bracelets. Add the bracelets, get rid of the belt.
- Try to find Asian clothing stores or internet shops. These often sell items that resemble K-pop stars' clothing. etc. (Yesstyle or To February are some good examples.)Thanks!
- Keep in mind that people will stare, and some may find it offensive (those people do exist).Thanks!
- Be careful to avoid cultural faux pas, especially if you attempt to wear traditional clothing like hanbok. There might be a "right" or more appropriate way of wearing something, like the Japanese kimono, which if folded over one way can indicate the wearer is dead!Thanks!
- Don't over-do it. Although the K-pop idols have lots of makeup and beautiful clothing, they have a way of making it look natural. Stay true to yourself and don't do something that might make you uncomfortable.Thanks!
Things You'll Need
- Makeup
- Hair gel
- Clothing

The Los Angeles event will include six features from this year's Sundance festival and a showcase of comedy shorts.
Sundance prize-winner Morris from America and five other features from this year's Sundance festival have been set to screen in Sundance Next Fest, which runs August 12-14 in Los Angeles.
The features will be getting their Los Angeles premieres at the Sundance Institute event, staged at the city's downtown Ace Hotel, and each will be paired with a music act, live performance or conversation with an icon of independent cinema. The event will also include a showcase of comedy short films.
The event will kick off on Friday with a screening of offbeat love story Lovesong, which will be paired with a performance by Shamir. On Saturday, coming-of-age comedy Morris from America (pictured), winner of the Sundance festival's Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award, will be paired with a local teen talent show hosted by Craig Robinson, who won a Special Jury Prize at the festival for his performance in the film. The same night will also see screenings of New York drama White Girl and fraternity story Goat coupled with a performance by New York band Sunflower Bean.
Next Fest's Sunday programme includes the showcase of shorts from this year's Sundance festival, screenings of Iranian horror film Under the Shadow and horror comedy The Greasy Strangler and the world premiere of Royal, a short film directed by music producer Flying Lotus.
Sundance Film Festival director John Cooper said this year's Next Fest "showcases stories from all over that still hit close to home. Tied to music performances by breakout artists and extended conversations with prolific filmmakers, this weekend celebration is an indie oasis in a summer of big-budget blockbusters."
Next Fest is an extension of the Next section at the Sundance Film Festival, which has showcased films including Obvious Child, Tangerine and Nasty Baby.

A suspect has been arrested in the fatal stabbing of a Riverside homeless man, police said.
Mathew Benjamin Johnson, 26, who is also homeless but lives in Riverside, was arrested on suspicion of murder Saturday night, March 14, and booked into the Robert Presley Detention Center. Bail was set at $1 million, jail logs show.
Police say Johnson was walking with Ronald Bridges, 28, on Friday night, March 13, along railroad tracks near the Pachapa Hill Bridge when Johnson suddenly stabbed Bridges in the chest, police said.
When emergency workers arrived, Bridges was dead, police said.
The attacker ran with another man onto Olivewood Avenue, got onto a bike and rode away, police said.
The next night, investigators found Johnson in the Santa Ana River bottom area near downtown, police officials and jail logs say.
Police found several witnesses at the scene of the crime and believe several more people saw the stabbing happen but left the scene. Investigators asked anybody with information to call Detective Dave Smith at 951-353-7103.

text: The Hollies' first album of original material following Graham Nash's departure was an attempt to regain the edge they'd had on Butterfly and Evolution albums, after the digression of the album of Dylan songs, the regrouping with Terry Sylvester in the lineup, and the unexpected hit achieved with "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother." It's a surprisingly strong album, not only in the songwriting (which includes the last Clark/Hicks/Nash song ever recorded, "Survival of the Fittest"), but also in the production, which isn't too far removed from what was heard on Butterfly and Evolution. There's no sitar here, but Tony Hicks — who is the real star of the group on this album — employs at least a half-dozen different guitars in uniquely fine voicings, and there is also some very striking use of orchestra, producer John Burgess making particularly fine employment of a string section as a lead instrument on the Allan Clarke/Terry Sylvester-authored "Man Without a Heart." Indeed, at least nine of the songs on Confession of the Mind could rate among the better songs the group has ever recorded. Tony Hicks' "Little Girl" sounds almost like a conscious attempt to emulate the harmonies and overall sound of Crosby, Stills & Nash, proving that as singers Clarke, Hicks, and Sylvester could have competed in that arena, musically if not in image. They also try for a heavier sound on "Perfect Lady Housewife," which offers a thumping bassline and some of the most prominent organ playing ever heard on one of their records. By this time, the songwriting partnership between Allan Clarke and Tony Hicks had dissolved, and several of the latter's solo songwriting ventures on this album retain some lingering elements of the psychedelic sound heard on Evolution and Butterfly, with great hooks and solid, pleasing, memorable riffs. Hicks gets a little too self-consciously out there with the volume pedal on "Confessions of a Mind," but it's all worth hearing, and "Lady Please," which follows, is a gorgeous country-ish rock ballad that could've been picked up by Poco, the Eagles, or Manassas. "Frightened Lady" is another brilliant acoustic/electric guitar and harmony workout, while Hicks' "Too Young to Be Married" gives equal play to his guitar and an orchestra. His playing is the best part of Allan Clarke's "Separated," several layers of acoustic guitars being a joy to listen to, especially in the 1999 EMI remastering. Unfortunately, the Hollies were now becoming an anachronism in a world of progressive album-oriented rock, not because they actually were, but because their credibility had been wrecked by the Dylan song album and the hit "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother." Confessions of the Mind was originally issued in the U.S. in edited and reshuffled form on the Epic LP Moving Finger, with "Separated" and "I Wanna Shout" replaced by "Marigold Gloria Swansong" from Hollies Sing Hollies and the single "Gasoline Alley Bred."

It is important to make sure that your pool areas have ground fault protection to protect guests from any electrical shock hazards. Before summer rolls around, now is the perfect time of year to inspect your swimming pools for possible hazards. Electrical safety is very important, especially around pools to ensure the safety of families and other guests. For added protection, of all new pool installations, the 2017 NEC National Electrical Code, article 680, has been amended.
Top 10 Major Code Changes to Look out for in the NEC 2017
The Main Take-A-Ways
All electrical installations in walls or decks close to swimming pools must follow these requirements:
- Article 680: All electrical outlets, light switches, and receptacles must be UL listed for safety assurance.
- Article 680.14: Pool-related areas are deemed "corrosive environments," because of the pool sanitation chemicals that are used and stored there. Due to the nature of the moist pool environment, all equipment must be UL listed to withstand these types of environments; which includes all grounding and bonding terminals, such as grounding conductor terminals and circulation pump motors.
GFCI Protection
The 2017 NEC has also changed their clause for GFCI receptacles in pool areas. Originally, outlets that supplied power to the circulation system of the pool had to be located further than 10 feet away from the inside of the wall without needing to provide ground fault protection. Now, all electrical outlets must be at least 6 feet from the inside of the wall and must be GFCI protected.
Electrical Receptacles
- GFCI protection is required for ALL 15-amp, 20-amp, 125V, or single phase electrical outlets installed within 20 feet from a pool
Electrical Equipment
- GFCI protection is required for ALL receptacles that supply power to the pool equipment, such as water heaters and pump motors.
- GFCI protection is required for ALL 120V to 240V single-phase pump motors
- GFCI Protection is required for ALL underwater lighting operating over the low-voltage contact limit.
- GFCI Protection is required for ALL light switches
By taking the steps to promote an electrically safe environment, you can prevent the chances of shock hazards, or even worse, death. It is recommended that you perform maintenance on your GFCI devices regularly, especially around pool areas. Always be sure to test your equipment according the user's instructions.

- Email marketing,Marketing
If you are not doing this, are you even serious about business?
If you have a business, whether you are a one man operation working from the small bedroom in your Parent's flat, or a multi conglomerate, you will indeed know by now that the money is in your list. Saying this however you may be surprised to hear that less than 10% of businesses are keeping in touch with their existing clients and reaching out to potential new customers by email.
To be in business you must have a clear understanding of gross profit and net profit, to me it simply means gross profit is what you have from sales, and net profit is what you have left after paying the main business bills, what's left for you basically.
The most cost effective business strategy you can be utilizing is your existing clients, some call them 'sticky customers' yes very few are doing newsletters.
Many people shudder at the idea of newsletters, they see it as something that just goes straight to spam and has the interest level of drying paint, something you got tricked into and never really wanted, a time consuming chore to try and unsubscribe to at least see your main emails somewhere in the mountain of spam.
But many who are using newsletters see them as a vital part of their business and one of my clients calls it their most effective marketing tool they have ever done.
There is a vast difference between newsletters you love opening that are of interest to you and a hum drum pathetic attempt to raise interest done by the intern who has no real passion in your business.
The business owners that do newsletters effectively don't call them newsletters as it inspires boredom and is trash fodder, they call it anything else but newsletters.
Historically back in the late 1990's when the pioneers started sending out email to their list they were phenomenally productive, the 'start of the bell curve' followers then started chucking out ads on email as well, and at the top of the curve by 2010 people had grown very tired of the hundreds of newsletters and spam emails and the world turned against the spammer, and started a movement that a Nazi would be proud of, to close off our inboxes to spammers and produce unsubscribe laws and spam scores to stop unsolicited mail.
The ones that rode the wave, stayed the course, and just produced good regular content and people still open their email correspondence at a very good rate and they make sales every week.
So email marketing works but you have to know what you are doing and have a list, yeah that's the bummer, the time it takes to get a good list, but hey nothing in life worth doing was easy right!
So how do you start? Better late than never, well done you are a serious business owner.
First of all I hope you have a lot more summers in front of you than behind you, because email marketing is about time and not a quick fix!
You need a list of subscribers, a list of people who have double opted in to your email list and are happy to receive your email.
Double opting in means they clicked a link to receive from your website and then again from the link in their email you have to send, and this means your regular correspondence will go into their inbox and not spam.
To get these subscribers is a subject for thousands of other blogs, mainly they come from e-books, blogs, incentives, and the most common; a sign up form on your website often in the form of a pop up with some kind of gift for signing up.
You must have prolific traffic visiting your website on a regular basis to have a ratio subscribing, so it is all work, work, and more work, it is no surprising that Digital Marketing Managers are a prerequisite for any business who wants to progress.
Once you have your subscribers then you need to give them regular content every week at the least and this content should be relatable, informative, and passionate and educate your audience as to why you are the best in your industry and should be trusted to turn to when they need your products or services.
Across the board there are figures of 20% open rates and 3% click through rates
So if you have 1000 subscribers, around 200 (20%) will open your email in their inbox , and it really depends on how good your heading is and you gave them what you promised in the heading.
Then from the people that are now looking at your newsletter, 6 will click links and then it depends on your ratio of websites visitors to sales that will determine your end result of sales.
One other way you can find leads is to check our sales Leads we get each week on Biz-find. We have a team of Customer Service Reps who contact our members each week and find out what products and services they are buying each week, and we have 6,000+ members and growing each week.
If you found a buyer on our site and you did not have to do any content marketing to get subscribers and years worth of newsletters to find the buyers, how profitable will your efforts be?

Classic Monster of Earache Records! Highly Recommended
Some say Heartwork is the last good album that carcass made in their career, well sure it isn't the great symphonies of sickness, but it has some good highlights hidden that most people don't ever hear or refuses to hear.
To begin with, the vocals in the entire CD are quite different from the other Carcass albums, here Walker screams more than he growls (in fact since Necroticism: Descanting the Insalubrious the vocals were a lot more different), it sounds a lot like Chuck's voice from the band Death, but not in a bad way, the vocals are fine and Walker knows how to give the album a great environment.
The lyrics are no longer about virulent diseases or rotting corpses, so in this album there are no genitals grinded and no anal tracts vomited of any kind. The lyrics here are more about images than stories, it is the case of Arbeit Mach Fleisch and No Love Lost, most of the lyrics have philosophical matter in a Carcass kind of way, and mainly all the lyrics are about avant-garde art like Heartwork "Works of art, painted black A canvas to paint, to degenerate". The artwork is excellent, the cover art design was in charge of H.R. Giger the creator of the monsters in all the Alien movies, so you get the idea.
Now about the music, the leads in the guitar section are overwhelming, Steer and Amott make some incredible riffs and complex leads in some songs, the drums and the bass are not what we were used to, in some songs the drumming is killer and in others it's just standard with typical rhythm, the same thing for the bass; yes this is the main reason why people called this The First Melodic Death Metal Album. The best song in the album in my opinion is Arbeit Mach Fleisch, this song is Remarkable here all the instruments have something good to highlight, the riffs and leads, the drums, the vocals and bass are astonishing, not to mention that it is the strongest song in the album, so this may be THE song on this album, Blind Bleeding The Blind, Buried Dreams and No Love Lost are also overwhelming songs maybe because this are the only songs where the music was entirely written by Steer without Amott's influence, who knows?
A good album merit to be listened, not the best Carcass's Work (though it can be the best for some people, including the band members themselves) but sure it's high-quality and some songs are amazingly well played and recorded, the production is very good I didn't found any mixing flaws and the sound is exceptionally clean. So here it is, Heartwork people..buy it, you don't need more reasons.

Trevor Mbakwe Signs With AEK Athens
Trevor Mbakwe has signs with AEK Athens in Greece for the team's playoff stretch, Ballers Abroad has learned. AEK will be the third team that Mbakwe suits up for this season, having started the year with MHP Riesen Ludwigsburg in Germany before moving to Osaka Evessa in Japan. The sixth-year pro averaged 8.6 points and 8.2 rebounds per game, which included competition in the Basketball Champions League.
He joins an AEK team that was recently bounced from the Basketball Champions League but still has a lot to play for domestically, sitting in third place in the A1 League standings with a 17-8 record. Mbakwe has alos played in Italy, Germany, Israel and Russia during his professional career.
Hapoel Holon Signs Scotty Hopson
Scotty Hopson is returning to Europe. Hopson signed with Hapoel Holon in Israel for the remainder of the season after spending the majority of the 2018-2019 season with the Oklahoma City Blue in the NBA G League. In 35 games, the Tennessee grad averaged 16.5 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game, a season which even included a call-up to the NBA's Oklahoma City Thunder.
Hopson last played in Europe during the 2017-2018 season when he suited up for Galatasaray Odeabank in Turkey. He joins a Hapoel Holon team that is jockeying for position in the Winner League playoffs, as they currently sit in third place in the league standings with a 19-7 record.
Greg Whittington has been putting up impressive numbers all month, but it's his most recent performance that's got us talking. Whittington scored a season-high 29 points to go along with 14 rebounds and five assists in Hapoel Gilboa Galil's 96-93 victory over Ironi Nahariya in the Israeli Winner League. The big man is averaging a solid 18.3 points and 9.6 rebounds per game, but he really elevated his stats as his team tries to snag one of the final playoff spots. Gilboa Galil currently sits in tenth place in the league standings with a 10-17 record, two games back of eighth place, but if Whittington can continue to produce performances like he did next week, Gilboa Galil could be a force to be reckoned with.
After three seasons in Australia, Casper Ware is returning once again to the Land Down Under - but for a new team. Ware signed a multi-year contract with the Sydney Kings in Australia's National Basketball League after spending the last three years playing for Melbourne United.
A veteran on the international scene since graduating from Long Beach State in 2012, Ware averaged 18.9 points and 4.3 assists per game for Melbourne as the team finished with an 18-10 record and made it to the NBL Finals. He's had massive success with United in his three years there, winning the NBL title in 2018. He joins a Sydney Kings side that he helped defeat in the 2019 NBL playoffs, as United swept their semifinal series with the Kings.

Malaysia - Cerebos Malaysia has launched a new marketing campaign, "Brand's Takes The Lead", for its Brand's Essence of Chicken product.
It has also appointed singer and entrepreneur Michael Wong Guang Liang (centre) as its new brand ambassador for the next one year.
Wong, a familiar name among the Chinese community, is an award-winning Malaysian singer and composer who has already made his mark around the region as well.
While the campaign aims to demonstrate the lighter perspective of going through life with a mentally alert mind, Cerebos Malaysia vice president and general manager Koh Joo Siang (left) said that Wong was the right person to front that positioning.
"Wong is a singer and entrepreneur with his own music company and has an ideal representation of what you can achieve when you take the lead," added Koh.
Carmen Liew (right), marketing manager at Cerebos Malaysia, said, "We always feel that an ambassador should be directly relevant to a campaign. Rynn Lim [previous Brand's Essence of Chicken ambassador] did well for the brand for two years and helped increase sales. We feel that Wong will now be able to take the brand to new heights."
The campaign has been executed through TVCs, print ads, OOH media, digital media and on ground initiatives, featuring Wong as the face of the brand.
Targeted to PMEBs and students, the on ground activation will see Brand's Challenge Activators who will engage with the public through roadshows at colleges, offices and malls using quick challenges.
The year-long campaign was executed by 180 Degree for creative duties, Universal McCann for media duties, West Coast for PR and IF Isobar on digital.
