Building for a Sustainable Future; PROFILE in 1978 Matt Nichols Left School at the Age of 16. Today He Handles Sales for a Company with a Pounds 3 Billion Turnover as Ross Reyburn Discovers
Byline: Ross Reyburn
It may sound a little hard to believe but on the outskirts of the Warwickshire town of Leamington Spa you can view a plasterboard wall that can heat and cool a room.
The Micronal PCM Smartboard can be viewed at the pounds 3.2 million Wolseley Sustainable Building Center, which opened in April at the national headquarters of Wolseley UK, supplier of the widest range of construction products and materials available in the UK.
"This is the exhibit at the centre that has attracted the most interest," says Matt Nichols, Wolseley UK's sales director.
"It is contains microscopically small wax polymer spheres that will absorb heat into the plasterboard and when the temperature drops down, the reverse process takes place.
"We have been aware of the product for the past 18 months. If you imagine the impact of that - you have a non-powered, non-carbon product that essentially reduces the need for air-conditioning."
Produced by the German company BASF, the smartboard costs around five times as much as conventional plasterboard but the payback comes in future savings.
This wonderwall may sound like some kind of "green" conjuring trick in the gimmick mould that will disappear into obscurity after a year or so but Nichols argues persuasively the center is no esoteric glimpse into a green future.
"The centre is unique," he says. "It is a national showcase of all the sustainable materials we have identified as commercially viable and commercially available for any sustainable construction project.
"What it isn't, which there are elsewhere, is a domestic show home with a million-and-one clever gadgets where people say 'Wow!' But when you question if they are available, some of them aren't."
The attractive building, which adopts the American spelling of "center" for copyright reasons is neatly laid out and looks deceptively sparse until the 170 sustainable products are pointed out. A room that lights up when you walk into it and taps that pour water automatically when you place your hands under them take you into a world most people are unaware exists.
You can find ground source heat pumps demonstrated there also and Nichols rates the centre as an important showcase for geothermal systems.
"After the plasterboard, the other thing people come wanting to understand more about is geothermal technology whether it is ground or air source.
"People have an awareness of geothermal systems but they don't understand what is involved.
I don't want people running away with the impression it is geothermal or nothing.
What we should be talking about is renewable energies per se, of which geothermal is an important system.
"All new build should have if possible new energy sources. The most questionable one in our view is wind turbines - the idea you can put a turbine on the side of your house is not practical - they are not efficient enough.
"B&Q had a whole lot of publicity when they sold something like 1,500 wind turbines.
But then something like 20 per cent of them were returned damaged and a similar number were returned because people didn't realize they had to have planning permission to put wind turbines on the side of a house."
Why have they created the centre?
"There are a number of political drivers, such as the code for sustainable homes for example, that are pushing major housing developers and others down that route.
"The government ought to be able to control public sector buildings, schools, because that is public spend. When you speak to people, everybody knows they need to improve the sustainability content of a building.
"What they don't know is what currently exists, what the commercial viability of it is and what is the best mix of products. What you have is different technologies but they don't always complement each other. …

QuarryCat: I tried it at photokina,
the AF is not impressing, it runs always in the wrong direction, with every lens
and I tried several bodies.
Firmware is not ready yet - they told me.
Sony needed 3 years to get the AF good working and Fuji still try's to get it right:
So from Panasonic or Olympus or Nikon 1 - they all are far behind and the Samsung NX1 is now lightyears back.
Panasonic does the best AF-Job so far even better then Canon and Nikon - but Superteles are missing badly.
And Photo is not yet like TV or smartphone - you can see who difficult it is für microfourthirds to step in the market and Sony ist still far behind Canon and Nikon.
Maybe some day there are people taking pictures with Samsung, maybe.
I was also playing with the NX1 at Photokina as well. At first I was astonished that writing a picture on card took 4 seconds. I asked a Samsung guy if this was normal, but he denied it. After he made sure himsef, he recommended me to chose another camera. Regarding the AF, it didn`t impressed me at all. I made several bursts on swinging lady arranged there for testing the NX1`s AF capability and I count in an average 8 sharp pics out of 18 in high speed burst. AF also missed when several spot ceiling lights were composed to the frame. I also tried their 300 mm f/2.8 lens, but it exhibited too much focus hunting for my taste. The NX1 specs are pretty impressive on paper, but reality is (at a moment) a little bit different.
vadims: I think it's about time for ISO to introduce another, logarithmic scale for measuring sensor sensitivity. The fact that the numbers look crazy does not mean that the sensitivity per se is "crazy" -- it's still far cry from the capabilities of the human eye.
BTW, "who needs more than ISO 6,400" sounds to me suspiciously similar to "640 kilobytes should be enough for everyone".
Just to remind that "kilo" shoud be wtitten with no capital.
DimensionSeven: I wonder whether the 16-35f/4 IS will be good for infrared.
The 17-40 is, but it lacks sharpness in visible light, esp. in the corners. The 16-35 f/2.8 is a better performer in visible light but has a nasty hotspot in infrared.
So do I. This prevents me at a moment to sell the 17-40L and order new 16-35 f/4L IS. BTW, have you any exerience in IR photography with 24-70 f/2.8L II?
Some time ago I was fascinated by bubbles too. Here are some pictures I took back then:
Tiny issue? I am already sick and tired of manufacturers putting their bug products on the market just in order to overtake the competition. The customers are then very often persuated by service that it is not an "issue", but "property" of the product. I had similar experience with TV, mobile phone, lens. What kind of strange world do we live in?
There is not too much to explain :-) I used black background and remotely triggered flash. The particular bubbles had different distance from camera, that is why some of them were pin sharp and others - out of focus.
Great shot! Having known the sculpture existed, I would have visited this place during my July stay in Singapore :-) BTW, I was deeply impressed by this city.

Installation Description
The installation was pretty much straight forward. I had already decided how I was going to run the wires and how I was gonna wire it up and all. I mean it's not hard but it is a time consuming process and Crutchfield took that extra step to just simplify the process.
Q&A Section
Why did you decide to upgrade your A/V system?
Because Im an audiophile and I love being able to feel like im at their concert
What's the first thing you show people about your installation?
Well I like to show off my subs and tell them that I wired the whole system up so I guess the cleanliness and subs
Why did you choose these products?
I chose the products that I did because I wanted the top of the line products and one brand just couldn't specialize in all areas
What was the most difficult part of the installation?
The most difficult part was trying to run wires and make the installiation look as clean as possible
What plans, if any, do you have for future upgrades?
Well I plan on putting some 20" gianna's, putting coilovers and lowering it 2 inches, buying 2 more stronger amps to push my subs and alpine speakers, and possible turboing my engine.

Northern Israel has always been an attraction for Israelis and tourists alike seeking to enjoy the lush greenness and beauty of this region. The North offers a wide variety of great places to visit, activities to do with the family, adventures to experience — and outstanding eateries along the way.
Nefesh B'Nefesh is excited to present the Go North initiative, offering enhanced financial assistance and an extensive range of employment services and social support for Olim moving to Northern Israel.
Older Olim seeking employment have bring with them valuable knowledge and experience. While many Israeli companies could benefit from this expertise, many employers are reluctant to hire older candidates. The challenge is to find ways to leverage a rich life experience into a salary, a consultancy job or towards an entrepreneurial direction.
Go North pilot trip
Many Olim have shared their interest in learning more about outdoor family activities in northern Israel and, in particular, information on bicycle trails in the North.
Moving to Israel has been a dream of mine ever since I first visited the country almost 30 years ago. It took me over 20 years, though, to actualize that dream.
The Go North program extends to the Upper and Lower Galilee, Golan Heights, Jezreel Valley, Upper Jordan Valley, Hadera. Haifa and its neighboring suburbs (Krayot).
Finding employment in Israel is often one of the biggest concerns for prospective Olim. As part of the Go North program an NBN Employment Advisor is dedicated to helping Olim network and leverage resources to find suitable employment opportunities in the area.
The Soldier Aliyah Fund was established by Nefesh B'Nefesh in order to assist and support the brave young men and women who choose to serve in the Israel Defense Forces upon making Aliyah. With the support of the FIDF, Nefesh B'Nefesh is able to help Olim soldiers throughout their IDF experience with the following specialized services:

R+V fan fic part 2"Wow..." Rae commented a bit stunned. "So how many Gifted Ones have appeared over the years?"
"Because of the human's populations always growing there has been an astonishing number. However almost none of them have been recorded in history." Tannis replied.
"Why is it that I haven't heard of this until now?" Rae asked.
"Well the reason for that is the same as why humans have butchered Witches in the past." Tannis explained using a well known bit of history as a direct example for Rae. "For practically all Gifted Ones their powers begin to show at a young age and it scares the hell out of normal humans. So out of fear and the unknown Gifted Ones are usually executed immediately after their powers begin to show. Only two have had their powers get to levels that made it impossible for normal humans to kill them. Your brother is by the third one to get to that level but his name isn't in history yet. He has the potential to surpass the last one who engraved his name into history."

"So is this the kid who wiped out our rival by himself?" One Gang member said to another one who was wearing a black suit.
"Indeed." Commented the other one as they both looked at a young teen about 16 years old or so with silver hair, hazel colored eyes, well build body frame, average height, wearing a grey tank top with black cargo pants, black motorcycle boots, with metal chains on his arms and one around his neck. The boy was leaning against a wall in an ally looking up at the blue sky.
"Maeko, mother is wanting to talk to you about something." Said a female to her step brother who happened to be a vary unusual human. The female was a beautiful vampire with purple hair that went to her tail bone for length, white skin, wide shoulders like Maeko, and looked about 14 years old. She was wearing a black long sleeve shirt, baggy cargo pants with a snow camouflage pattern, and black tennis shoes.

I opened my eyes to find that my right arm was bandaged up and I could feel some bandages around my stomach area. I was in a church, great. One of the last things I needed was to be in a church when I was injured. My reason for disliking churches is because I'm not human; I'm a demon so I tend to be a little weakened in churches, unless I am welcomed by the people who commonly go there or more accurately by the priests of said church. I sat up just as a gentleman in his fifties came in; black, muscular, blue eyes, grey hair, five foot ten inches, wearing the white, red and gold robe of one of the church's priests, Father Randle.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA. (AP) - After four years of futility, the Jacksonville Jaguars are heading in a different direction.
Coach Mike Mularkey might not be around for the move.
The Jaguars fired general manager Gene Smith on Monday after four disappointing seasons, including the worst year in franchise history.
Mularkey could be next.
Owner Shad Khan is waiting to decide Mularkey's fate until he hires a new general manager, which could happen this week.
Mularkey failed to make the Jaguars (2-14) better in his first season, setting a team record for losses and dropping eight games by 16 or more points.
Smith was the architect of the roster. He had been with the team since its inception in 1994, working his way up from regional scout to general manager. He has been GM since 2009, compiling a 22-42 record. Not one player he acquired made the Pro Bowl.
"Now it is time for the Jacksonville Jaguars to begin a new chapter," Khan said in a statement. "We're not looking back. I've made it clear from Day One that we pledge nothing less than to deliver the first Super Bowl championship to Jacksonville. Our fans have been remarkably loyal over the years, and they were truly outstanding this past season. We simply must do better for our fans."
Khan said the search for a new GM will begin immediately.
Arizona director of player personnel Jason Licht, San Francisco director of player personnel Tom Gamble, and Atlanta director of player personnel David Caldwell have been mentioned as potential replacements.
"I'm determined to find the right man to lead our football operations, someone who shares my vision, understands the commitment we will demand and is qualified and ready to seize this opportunity," Khan said.
Khan informed Smith of his decision Monday morning and then delivered the news to Mularkey.
Mularkey said he received no assurances he would be retained for a second season.
"It was a conversation about Gene's status," said Mularkey, the former Buffalo Bills head coach who now has lost 20 of his last 23 games. "My status was not discussed, and I won't go into detail what was. But until I'm told otherwise, I'm the head coach of this team."
So the Jaguars are in limbo again, much like they were late last season when Khan bought the team from Wayne Weaver for $770 million. Weaver fired coach Jack Del Rio the same day he gave Smith a three-year extension despite Smith's numerous mistakes in the draft and in free agency.

Geochronology – Methods and Case Studies
eBook Details:
Nils-Axel Morner
Hardcover: 204 pages
Publisher: InTech (July 25, 2014)
Language: English
eBook Description:
Chronology is the backbone of history, and there is a wise saying stating there is no history without a chronology. Earths evolutionary history is built up by geochronology, i.e. time benchmarks upon which the geological history is built up step by step over its total time period of about 4.5 billion years. The first marker in this history is the Jack Hills zircon from Australia dated at about 4.4 GA. The most detailed records come from seasonal changes within annual varves. Stratigraphy provides the basic chronological ordering of layers by layers, units by units, fossil assemblage by assemblage, varves by varves, growth zone by growth zone, etc. The radiometric techniques implied the introduction of absolute age determinations. This book includes a combination of methodological presentations and related case studies, from where we learn about practical problems and achievements. Therefore, the book should be of basic interest both for scientists in their practical in field and laboratory, as well as for general educational purpose.

Lassen: Conteras offers free insight into overseas game
George Contreras had a great experience, developed some expertise, and wants to share his knowledge with everyone. For free.
Naturally, people want to know the catch.
Contreras, the veteran local high school football coach — most recently with Rio Mesa High's freshman team — has been contacting college football programs in the region, offering to talk to graduating seniors about the rewards of playing American football in Europe, based on his experiences coaching in Italy for two seasons.
A few schools — Cal Lutheran among them — have taken him up on the offer. More haven't.
"Some of the coaches that don't know me," Contreras says, mixing amusement and bemusement, "are saying, 'Are you an agent? How much are you charging?' "
The answer, of course, is nothing, as he explains: "Guys, I just want to share what a great time this is, and I'd love to see you guys do it. I love it when you call me a year from now and say, 'I did it. Thanks.' "
And so Contreras — who leaves soon for another European coaching stint, this time in Sweden — is trying another tactic to spread the word on the enriching experience of European football.
Thursday at 7 p.m., at the Rio Mesa library, he's inviting anyone interested to a free presentation on playing and coaching opportunities in the European leagues. While it's a world few Americans are aware of, it's a fairly extensive one; there are teams in 28 countries.
He'll be joined by his wife, Laurie, who can offer a spouse's perspective on an extended separation (she stayed behind the first year George was in Catania, Sicily) or an extended stay abroad (she joined him the second season), and by former Buena High player Alex Garfio, who can offer insights based on a season playing in Spain.
Contreras has, through his very funny "Coaching For Pizza" blog, become a fairly well-known resource for those thinking about going to Europe.
After getting calls from all over the country, he finally decided to organize his thoughts, leading to the Power Point presentation that will be the backbone of Thursday's session.
Contreras will no doubt have plenty of entertaining stories to tell, but he also has tons of practical information on starting the process (Step 1: Get a passport) and on salary expectations. (Native players in the European leagues are amateurs, but the imports get a modest salary, along with free housing and other perks.)
"I've told guys, if you're getting about a thousand Euros a month" — another Contreras tip: Get paid in the local currency — "given all the other things you're getting for free, that's pretty good. But then there are other things to negotiate." Some teams include a car in the deal, but some places — major cities with good transportation — you wouldn't want one. And in some cities — Paris or London, for example — that salary wouldn't go very far; it's important to know the cost of living in a specific city.
While Contreras has greatly enjoyed and highly recommended the European experience, he also plans to stress that it's not for everyone. In part, that's a matter of supply and demand — certain positions (quarterbacks lead the list) are much more coveted. Linemen are probably least sought, but they do have some opportunities.
"It gets down to what people think they need, or what they settle for," he says. "But it's certainly easier if you're a skill guy."
It's not just players that are in demand.
"There are about 500 teams," he says, "and they'd all like an American coach."
Mostly, though, it takes a certain type of person — player or coach — to go overseas. You need to be sociable. You need to be of high character (players have been fired for being drunk and disorderly). You need to be able to roll with the punches of a less serious, less skilled football environment.
And, if you're a player, you need to be dominant, to the point, he says, that when the game is over, the American players have clearly been the best ones on the field.
"If you're not doing that," he says, "then you're not doing what you have to do. The onus is on you to be a superstar-type guy."
This may not be as intimidating as it sounds — any solid Division III player, he says, has the necessary ability. But players need to understand the expectations.
Taking all that into consideration, Contreras stresses one message: If you're right for the experience, the experience will be richly rewarding.
"As I've gotten older," he says, "and I look back on my sports experiences, a lot of it's not the wins and losses. It's did you have a good experience? Are there good memories?
"This is a great way to end a career as a player, and have some good memories and great times."

The JOLT awards
The winners of the 14th annual JOLT awards were announced last night in Santa Clara at SDWest.
My favorite two entries, java.net and Kathy Sierra and Bert Bates' "Head First Java" were finalists but didn't win. There were many cool and impressive finalists this year and the awards were a lot of fun, but I continue to think that Head First Java can be misunderstood by many. If you don't read it, it is easy to thumb through it and dismiss it as being light or cute or something like that. But when you read it, you realize that although they have taken a different pedagogical approach, the material is not dumbed down and the topics being covered get readers pretty far into programming in Java in an introductory book.
That isn't to take away from the other fine books that were Productivity Award winners (runners up). In General books these were "The Art of UNIX Programming" by Eric S. Raymond, "Lean Software Development" by Mary and Tom Poppendieck, and "Pragmatic Starter Kit" by Dave Thomas and Andy Hunt. In the technical books the runners up were "About Face 2.0" by Alan Cooper and Robert Reimann, Scott Ambler's "Agile Database Techniques", and Diomidis Spinellis' "Code Reading".
Follow the link in
Also in Java Today, to this year's JOLT award winners were named last night in Santa Clara. As I mentioned, java.net was a finalist in the Websites and Developer Networks category in which the productivity awards went to O'Reilly Network, the JavaRanch, and Tigris with developerWorks winning the excellence award. Other Excellence award winners were Tom DeMarco and Timothy Lister's book "Waltzing with Bears", Dave Astels "Test-Driven Development", eclipse, Hibernate, and Sun's J2ME Wireless Toolkit. Dreamweaver won the Hall of Fame award and P.J. Plauger was the recipient of the Dr. Dobbs Excellence in Programming award.
Jason Hunter continues his series on XQuery Tricks and Tips. In part three he advises that the "focus in this article on important but tricky and commonly misunderstood aspects of the XQuery language. I warn you: Things will get hairy beyond this point. But it's better to have fair warning of the complex parts than to have to deduce it on your own when your query fails."
In today's Weblogs , John Catherino blogs about his java.net project in The World Wide Virtual Machine. He writes that his cajo project "allows any Virtual Machine to easily expose access to any of its selected objects to Remote Virtual Machines, as well as to send any of its selected objects to RVMs. It offers a very simple yet highly flexible framework for applications to work together. Most importantly, any existing object can be made remotely usable, with no changes to its source; an application simply adds this framework, not restructures around its requirements."
Attention webloggers There continues to be some sort of glitch in the system that is being addressed. For now to create a new
entry you should login and then go to the weblog home page.

I follow my heart straight to your door.

I will be grateful if you'd give to me:

Give me just one night could it be that I was born
To make every dream you ever had come true
In just one night, oh one night with you.

Dr. McLaughlin also highlighted the convenience of inhaled treprostinil, which is administered via four one-minute inhalation sessions per day.
The TRIUMPH-1 (TReprostinil Sodium Inhalation Used in the Management of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension) trial was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of patients with severe PAH. The study population consisted of 235 patients who were optimized on an approved oral therapy for PAH, either bosentan (Tracleer(R)), an endothelin receptor antagonist, or sildenafil (Revatio(R)), a phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor. In addition to one of these oral therapies, patients were administered inhaled treprostinil or placebo in four daily inhalation sessions with a maximum dose of 54 micrograms per session over the course of the 12-week trial.
Oral Treprostinil
In Plasma Levels with Oral Treprostinil Dietholamine over a Wide Range
of Doses in Patients with PAH, Dr. R. James White of the University of
Rochester presented data from a 12-patient study showing that a
sustained-release capsule of treprostinil administered twice daily allowed
patients to maintain consistent therapeutic levels of treprostinil in their
bloodstreams in an equivalent therapeutic range to intravenously or
subcutaneously administered treprostinil. The pharmacokinetic profile
demonstrated that the release of treprostinil from the oral dosage form was
sustained and supported the twice-daily regimen used in United
Therapeutics' ongoing Phase 3 FREEDOM studies of oral treprostinil in
patients with PAH. Dr. White's presentation also highlighted that the dose

One of the brightest Zuiko Digital lenses is this large aperture medium-telephoto macro lens. It is equivalent to 100mm on a 35 mm camera, good for maximum image magnification of 0.52x (equivalent to 1x life-size on a 35mm camera).
ED lens greatly reduce chromatic aberrations to provide the high image quality with high-resolution and good contrast.
In combination with the EX-25 Extension Tube, it can focus approx. 1x (equivalent to 2x on a 35mm camera).

Human cancer cells frequently contain many mutations that are not involved in the development of cancer do not drive cancer development but are produced by increased mutation rates in cancer cells and are 'passengers'. Discerning which are driver and which are passenger mutations is a challenge for human cancer gene studies.
"The benefit of our system in the mouse is that, unlike human tumours, which usually contain many different types of genetic alternations, the causal mutations that initiate these tumours in mice can be easily identified and studied," explains Dr Adams, "These studies are complementary to and enrich the analysis of human cancers."
The project was made possible by the Sanger Institute's high-throughput sequencing and computational resources, which allowed the team to identify new potential cancer genes in the mouse. By comparing their data to genome-wide human cancer datasets generated by the Sanger Institutes' Cancer Genome Project, they could show that at some of the of the newly identified genes were potentially relevant to human cancer formation.
The team are currently carrying out other cancer screens using viruses and additional methods to disrupt cancer genes. These screens are searching for genes and gene interactions in the formation of bowel, lymphoid and breast cancers.

DDT degradation pathway. DDT stands for dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane. DDT is a chemical that began to be used as an insecticide after showing insecticidal action against many insects in very small quantities. It is important to evaluate the negative impact on the environment, and human health studies on the metabolism of DDT have been done in recent years. This pathway consists of 20 compounds and 46 enzyme reactions.

A Polk County judge has ruled a 15-year-old, whom investigators say fatally shot his younger sister, can be prosecuted as an adult.
Taking the life of another is an act that cannot be undone, Circuit Judge John Sims said this afternoon.
Sims said Levi Elliots maturity, home environment and the seriousness of the allegations led to the decision.
Specifically, the judge said stealing a car and driving a significant distance from where the shooting occurred showed a level of sophistication.
Certainly, the age of the juvenile is significant, Sims said.
Also, the actions of the juvenile are significant.
Sierra Elliot, 12, was shot in the head on March 24 at her home in rural Polk County. According to authorities, she was alone with Levi Elliot at the time of the shooting.
The girls mother who is not Levi Elliots biological mother reported the incident to police, the sheriff's office said. The mother said Seirra and Levi Elliot were alone at the home for about 30 minutes. When the mother arrived home, she found Sierra injured, but the brother and a 2005 Ford pickup truck were gone.
Levi Elliot allegedly operated his fathers truck without consent and without a proper license.
Polk County Sheriff Steve Bruce said Levi Elliot turned himself into authorities in Kansas City, where his biological mother lives, a day after the shooting.
During Wednesdays hearing, a juvenile officer said she believed Levi Elliot should be charged as an adult.
I dont believe he could be rehabilitated in the time the juvenile system would have him, said Dena Carver, deputy juvenile officer in Polk County.
Levi Elliots attorney, Robert Calbi, argued the juvenile office did not prove the 15-year-old met the requirements to be certified as an adult.
Furthermore, Calbi argued Levi Elliot had a better chance of rehabilitation in the juvenile system, compared to the potential of spending years in prison.
Society will be more protected because he wont come out of prison as a hardened criminal, he said.
Prosecutor Ken Ashlock said he will now take over prosecution of Levi Elliot.
Documents filed thus far in the case have not revealed a possible motive or many circumstances surrounding the shooting.

Movie Info
A "clocker" is a petty urban drug dealer. The grim realities of clockers' lives provides the basis for this gritty drama from filmmaker Spike Lee that offers a potent message calling for poor urban blacks to quit fighting each other. The story centers on Strike, a 19-year old drug dealer who is first seen hanging out with his buddies and doing a little business on a bench in the Brooklyn projects. The trouble really begins when Strike agrees to help out the local drug lord Rodney by killing one of his rivals. The murder occurs, but the actual killer is never shown. Later Strike's serious, hard-working brother Victor confesses to the crime. That should be the end of that, but it isn't,as homicide detective Rocco Klein doesn't buy Victor's confession for a second. The policeman becomes obsessed with the case and his partner Larry goes along for the ride. Klein then begins harassing his real suspect, Strike. The constant badgering makes it difficult for Spike to conduct his business, and eventually, even his own pals begin to suspect him of the killing. Spike is further harassed by both a black cop and Rodney, who doesn't want Spike horning in on his territory. … More

Victoria Beckham served as a judge for the International Woolmark Prize Competition, hosted on Tuesday (March 17) in Beijing, China.
The designer again represented her eponymous label in fine form, donning a black dress from her Fall 2015 collection.
Conveying a strict yet still sultry silhouette, the sensible design also possessed a playful edge with its pair of big buttons positioned below the deep V-neck.
From colour to cut, it was a very Victoria look—and there's certainly something to be said for her specific brand of chic consistency.

Gerry & The Pacemakers
Gerry Marsden formed Gerry & The Pacemakers in the late 1950s with his brother, Fred Marsden, Les Chadwick and Arthur Mack. They rivalled The Beatles early in their career, playing in the same areas of Hamburg, Germany and Liverpool, England. Mack was replaced on piano by Les Maguire around 1961. They are known to have rehearsed at Camell Laird shipping yard at Birkenhead. They began recording in early 1963 with "How Do You Do It?", a Mitch Murray written song that both Adam Faith and The Beatles had turned down (in the latter case because they wanted to record their own material...
