For those of us who lives, breathes, and talks about staying fit by pumping irons, doing intense cardio, and using body machines, health is our utmost priority. Although to some of us, the gym is considered to be our Health Temple, we may be getting more than what we bargain for. One study reveals that 63 percent of the surfaces we touch on exercise equipment are covered in rhinoviruses (the cause of the common cold). Therefore, this means that the chances of catching it are high.
It's easy to see how coughs, sneezes, and sweat-drenched, unwashed hands might quickly spread the viruses that cause colds from one treadmill to the next. But a cold, or even the Flu, might be the least of the gym germs you need to worry about.
Gym Germs: Is it a real thing?
In a study where DNA was extracted from contact-surface swab samples of fitness equipments, a total of 25 bacterial types were found. With 15 predominant bacterial types, several gym germs which are considered as the more serious threats include MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), Salmonella spp. (the one that causes digestive tract infections, including Typhoid Fever), Pseudomonas spp. (causing Pneumonia, UTI, etc), and other bacterias that causes severe skin infections. MRSA itself is considered a super bacteria, resistant to most commonly used antibiotics. This makes it very difficult to treat – and can live and thrive on exercise machines, mats, and locker-room benches.
One key symptom of MRSA skin infection is typically obvious. "Usually [MRSA] presents itself as a boil. They can be very painful because it's a giant pimple and you have to get it lanced," says Michael Cohen, M.D., an assistant clinical professor at UCLA Health Division of Infectious Disease. "And occasionally it can get in your bloodstream and become systemic. This makes you really, really sick—so you don't want to have staph infections."
Besides MRSA and the other bacterial infections mentioned above, the gym / fitness centre are also breeding grounds for other virus, fungus and parasites. These causes diseases such as Athlete's foot, Jock Itch, Warts caused by HPV, Molluscum Contagiosum, Impetigo, Chicken Pox, Measles, Herpes Simplex, Ring worms, etc. Mouthful names, we know.
Gym Germs: How Filthy Are Those Equipments?
Researchers at FitRated gathered bacteria samples from 27 different pieces of equipment at three different gyms to get an idea of how many germs you may encounter when you touch a treadmill, exercise bike, or free weight. They found that each piece of equipment is teeming with more than one million germs per square inch.
Check out the graphics below (click to magnify) to see what's lurking at the gym.
Rules To Protect Us From The Gym Germs
Those diseases are very common, although you may not have heard of it. Or perhaps you just didn't realize that you've gotten it from the gym. Yikes! All these gym germs may sound so awful that you may no longer visit a fitness centre. It actually doesn't have to be that way. Here's the good news: if you follow some simple rules, you can cut down on your chances of getting sick, and focus on building your beach body.
1. Wipe Equipments Before and After Use
If you see alcohol-based antibacterial wipes at the gym, use them to wipe down surfaces before you touch them (to protect yourself), and also after (to protect others). Dr. Cohen says, "The main problem is what people touch. We spread most things with our hands and some bacteria can live on inanimate areas for up to hours."
Don't see any wipes around? Whatever you do, don't use your towel to wipe it off. Towels can quickly spread bacteria since we also use them to wipe our own sweat and they come into contact with our skin. If your gym doesn't offer antibacterial wipes, you can always carry a pack of your own Antibacterial Wipes in your gym bag to wipe your skin after a workout.
2. Bring Your Own Exercise Mat or Use Clean Towel As Barrier
If you do not own your own exercise mat, there is one way a towel can protect against those gym germs. A towel helps when it's used as clean barrier between your skin and a shared surface. A great time to use one is over a yoga mat, so your skin never has direct contact. Be sure to toss the towel in the "used" bin afterward, and get a fresh one for the rest of your workout.
It's really all common sense. It's something that we should all have learned in sixth grade health class. You need to keep yourself and your equipments clean. You never know who last used the equipment in a gym. It can be a great breeding ground for these germs, some of which are pretty nasty.
3. Practice Good Hygiene
We spread most germs with our hands. With this logic, it means what we pick up at the gym can quickly spread to our belongings. An example of these include our phones, our bags, even to our cars the minute we touch them. Always wash your hands thoroughly with water and antibacterial soap before you leave the gym. Even better, before you touch anything in your locker or gym bag. This is a good way to stop the transfer of MRSA and any other type of bacteria from spreading—including the dreaded flu.
Most germs are spread from your mouth to your hands and onto someone else's. Every time we shake hands we're transferring around 10,000 germs, but they're all over us all the time.
4. Bandage Cuts & Safeguard Your Skin
Keep cuts and scrapes clean using antiseptics and cover with a bandage until healed. This is also common courtesy for other people using the same equipment as you at the gym. Hepatitis B and HPV may spread very fast in cases of wound contact. Keep a barrier such as an item of clothing or a towel – not the one you use for wiping your own sweat – between your skin and equipment that others use, such as weight-training machines and sauna benches. Always wear flip-flops or shower shoes in wet areas.
If you feel uncomfortable carrying cloths for barrier, an easier way would be to wear gloves. Wearing your own clean gym gloves before using machines or lifting free weights allows you to avoid direct contact from the equipments.
5. Get Vaccinated
Vaccinating yourselves against the common, yet preventable diseases that are caused by the abundantly found gym germs increases your protection. As mentioned above, some of the gym germs that you can get immunized against include Typhoid Fever, Influenza, Pneumonia, Hepatitis B, and HPV.
Getting vaccinated against these common diseases provides additional protection for you and also prevents you from spreading these gym germs to other fellow gym-goers. As we've mentioned time and time again, health is not just your personal matter, but more of a community effort.

The best part of this situation is that the foul ball that was hit was on an absolute rope and even if the dad had a glove it would have been a hard catch. However, that wasn't what the son was thinking and as soon as he found out his dad didn't make the catch he proceeded to give his pops the business.

Let's talk more about death but let's be cheerful about it: Do you know that poem by Mary Oliver When Death Comes? I loved it so much when I first saw it that I typed it up and framed it: For the last 15 years it has hung in our downstairs bathroom, right at eye level over the toilet so that most of our male visitors know it by heart. One does anyway. You could go up to this young guy while he was skiing down a mountain in the middle of blizzard and say recite "When Death Comes" and bam! he'd do it for you. Perfectly. At lightning speed. (Ah Youth!)
I used to know it by heart. Now I can get through only the first few lines alas, the rest having gotten tumbled around with all the other things I know by heart like "Stopping by Woods on A Snowy Evening" and "Jabberwocky" and the Preamble to the Constitution. Thanks to the minor deities Cut and Paste though, I can give it to you now:
When death comes
like the hungry bear in autumn
when death comes and takes all the bright coins from his purse
to buy me, and snaps his purse shut;
when death comes
like the measle-pox;
when death comes
like an iceberg between the shoulder blades,
I want to step through the door full of curiosity, wondering;
what is it going to be like, that cottage of darkness?
And therefore I look upon everything
as a brotherhood and a sisterhood,
and I look upon time as no more than an idea,
and I consider eternity as another possibility,
and I think of each life as a flower, as common
as a field daisy, and as singular,
and each name a comfortable music in the mouth
tending as all music does, toward silence,
and each body a lion of courage, and something
precious to the earth.
When it's over, I want to say: all my life
I was a bride married to amazement.
I was a bridegroom, taking the world into my arms.
When it's over, I don't want to wonder
if I have made of my life something particular, and real.
I don't want to find myself sighing and frightened
or full of argument.
I don't want to end up simply having visited this world.
Pretty nice eh? And here's another nice one, a song Laura Nyro wrote that Peter Paul & Mary covered in the 60s before Blood Sweat & Tears got their hands on it. A great tune with a great message, whoever's doing the singing.

PARKERSBURG — An episode about C8 in the Mid-Ohio Valley will be part of a series airing next month on the National Geographic Channel.
The series will begin on March 21 to coincide with World Water Day on March 22. The episode on C8 "Parched: Toxic Waters" will air 9-10 p.m. March 28.
C8, also known as PFOA, was once used at the DuPont Washington Works, now owned and operated by the spinoff company Chemours. A science panel created by the 2005 settlement of a class action lawsuit over the presence of C8 in local water supplies studied the health data from 70,000 residents in the region and found a possible link between the chemical and six diseases in humans.
From the settlement, carbon filters were installed to remove C8 from the drinking water of six public systems. A system was installed last year in Vienna by Chemours after the Environmental Protection Agency established a lifetime health advisory of 0.07 parts per billion. The previous health advisory was 0.4 ppb.
The National Geographic press release describes "Parched: Toxic Waters," directed by Johanna Hamilton, as follows: "In West Virginia, a cattle farmer traces the deterioration of his livestock to illegal dumping on the Ohio River in the 1980s, unraveling a corporate conspiracy by DuPont that leaves thousands at risk."
The show also includes a story about Central Valley in California, where oil companies allegedly caused water contamination in agricultural areas.
The story starts with Wilbur Tennant and the death of his cattle that grazed in a pasture next to land he sold to DuPont.
"As awareness of C8 landfills and other contamination sites spreads, we expect that what started with the Tennants' farm nearly two decades ago will continue around the globe," said Jeffrey Dugas of Keep Your Promises DuPont, a group dedicated to making sure DuPont covers damages from the contamination. "Just last year, residents in Vienna found out that their water is also contaminated, and we expect that the Valley is just the tip of the iceberg. Communities downstream, communities near landfills and communities near other contamination sites may soon have a similar rude awakening about their drinking water."
Dan Turner, of DuPont corporate media relations, said the company has not seen the completed series and could not comment. However, the company provided the following information to the producers:
"PFOA, or C8, is a processing aid that was widely used by many manufacturers to produce a broad range of industrial and consumer products for more than 60 years. Over the same period, the chemical industry and its regulators, including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), have also learned a great deal about the environmental and potential health impacts of PFOA, leading to the complete elimination of PFOA usage in 2015. DuPont studied PFOA carefully for decades and promptly notified federal, state regulatory and local authorities of its findings.
"Knowledge about PFOA continues to evolve. Nevertheless, at no time during the period PFOA was released from the DuPont Washington Works facility did anyone at DuPont ever believe it was likely to harm anyone. These releases complied with the law and occurred with the full knowledge of regulators.
"Because of the biopersistence of PFOA, DuPont voluntarily tested the water in communities surrounding Washington Works to ascertain levels of PFOA in the water. When it detected PFOA that exceeded conservative guidelines, it took responsible steps to remediate. In addition, we fully funded filtering systems in six water districts to levels of non-detection, well below any established guideline. DuPont also voluntarily convened community advisory panels and discussed with community representatives the issue of PFOA in drinking water and what was then known about potential PFOA health effects."
Dr. Paul Brooks of Vienna, whose company Brookmar organized and conducted the health study for the science panel, was among the local residents interviewed for the segment. One interview session lasted around four hours, he said.
Brooks said he hasn't seen a preview of the segment. Brooks, citing scientific studies that maintain no level of C8 in the blood is safe, said he hopes the National Geographic show will encourage people to take action.
"You never know what they're going to include," said Brooks.
Three things need to happen, Brooks said: All sources of C8 regardless of size must be eliminated; everyone with C8 in their blood regardless of level will need medical monitoring paid for by the companies; and legislation and regulations are needed to require that before such chemicals are used, they undergo testing much like that done by the pharmaceutical industry.
"What we've learned is that awareness is crucial, and when the community gets involved and the press covers the issue, no company — not DuPont, not Chemours — can hide their harmful behavior any longer," Dugas said. "We have a long way to go, including cleaning up the Ohio River, containing and cleaning up contamination from landfill sites spread out across the Valley, and making sure that the new C-8, GenX, isn't just history repeating itself."

In order to ensure the optimal health of men at all ages, testosterone therapy is designed as safe and effective solutions for treating testosterone concerns. Low testosterone and other deficiencies can completely alter and decrease the quality of life for men at any age. That is why Testosterone therapy is an effective treatment plan that can help you get back to feeling your best.
What Is Testosterone Therapy?
This form of treatment provides hormone and anti-aging therapies that are successful at properly diagnosing any testosterone-related concerns. It then works to implement the proper individualized treatment plan in order to stabilize your testosterone levels back to a healthy and normal amount.
Some men may experience sudden drops in testosterone levels due to an underlying medical condition. However, hormone levels may also decline in men due to the natural causes of aging. Because it is a natural decline, it may be difficult for men to sometimes identify the gradual development of symptoms. When there is a concern involving an imbalance in testosterone, patients often exhibit common symptoms including:
- Lack of energy
- Lack of focus
- Decreased sex drive
- Weight gain
- Loss of muscle and endurance
- Depression
- Mood swings
If you find yourself experiencing any of these symptoms it is important that you contact a medical professional to accurately identify and treat any medical concerns. If you are ultimately diagnosed with a testosterone imbalance following specialized testing, there are effective treatment options designed to implement the best possible treatment and management for optimal health. These treatment options may include:
- Estrogen blocking
- Sermorelin peptide therapies
- Testosterone alternative plans
- Thyroid therapy
- Weight loss
- ED medications
Who Is A Candidate?
For men who have recently began to experience symptoms of a testosterone imbalance, or have noticed changes over time, you may be a candidate for testosterone therapy. If you are interested in receiving specialized tests to determine if you do have a decline in testosterone reach out us here at Youthtopia Wellness and speak to one of our caring professionals about our many treatment options.

When it comes to your company, there are many important assets that you should keep an eye on. However, nothing ever comes close to the importance of your own team members. Your team members can be likened to cogs that enable the machine, which is your company to work without a hitch. Your team is your most important asset because of one particular virtue – teamwork. As the old adage goes, "two heads are better than one." If your team is still not the most important asset of your company, then you need to read up.
Here are some of the reasons why your people who are working as a team are the most important asset in your company:
For Delegation Purposes
A team that works well with one another comprehends the weaknesses and strengths of each member. One benefit of solid teamwork at work is that managers and team members become effective in splitting up tasks so they're carried out by the most competent individuals. Without good teamwork, it's a challenge for supervisors and executives to find out which team members can best achieve certain tasks.
For Work Efficiency
Teams create systems that enable them to finish responsibilities effectively and efficiently. Once a task is passed down to an efficient team, the team's pace guarantees that the job shall be done promptly and properly. This gives the organization to handle more work and yield more income without being forced to increase the staff. This is helpful when efficient teams from various sectors band together. Every team is knowledgeable of their own abilities and the teams can work with each other effectively instead of disjointed groupings of staff members who might not be accustomed to working together.
For Support
You can find challenges daily in almost any work environment, and a good team environment can work as a support mechanism for employees. Team members can help one another in improving their efficiency and join hands toward strengthening their professional growth. Team members also come to depend on each other. These types of bonds are generally important once the team encounters an especially difficult obstacle or if the group needs to handle the loss of a group member while still making an effort to sustain productivity.
And these are just some of the reasons why your team needs to be the most important asset in your company. I'd love for you learn more about my business advice and success to help your business aspirations. Please take a look at this recent interview!

The Escapist Magazine Archive
Meet Denise Fulton, Studio Head of Miday-Austin. She's a career game industry executive and, obviously, she's a woman. What makes this white collar girl gamer tick, and why, in her opinion, is gender irrelevant? Evan VanZelfden finds out.
In the course of her gaming career, Bonnie Ruberg has been a boy, a man, a zombie, a pokemon and a ninja, but she has "never been a little girl ..." In The Truth About Little Girls, one of America's preeminent feminist gamers attempts to get a handle on gaming's lack of innocent femininity, and why it may not be a bad thing.
"If there are already innumerous games that in no way even suggest a gender bias, this leads me to think: There's something else keeping women from games rather than the way women are presented in them." In Asexuality Actually, John Walker explores the possibility that the perception of gender bias in gaming may, in fact, be a red herring.
In an industry largely dominated by men, one company managed to establish itself as the number 1 employer of female game designers before anyone had even recognized the need. Justin McElroy's Women at the Pinnacle takes a look at Sierra's unique chemistry during the early days of video gaming.
"I know that sometimes it's alienating to be a woman in a sphere like videogaming, but I can't help thinking that the 'issue' of 'girls in games' has largely been manufactured ..." In Selling Power, Ancil Anthropy takes a hard look at the market forces at play in today's battle of the gaming sexes.
"Originally, Septonian hadn't even known that his companion was female. But it wasn't long into their friendship before he found out that the male mage was a girl in real life." Laura Genender tells the unnerving tale of two gamers whose in-game romance polarized an entire gaming community and exposed a very real problem plaguing many MMOs.

That's right, kids.
Killswitch Engage frontman and Gunshy columnist Jesse Leach isn't resting on his laurels this holiday season.
Killswitch may be taking some downtime for the rrest of the year, but Jesse will remain busy with one of his other bands, The Empire Shall Fall.
Says the band online:
"Today, we had our first rehearsal/run-through as a full band with the new EP. Jesse sounds great. Possibly finish tracking the first song in its entirety this week?"
Jesse offered up the following on the situation.
"We had a fairly productive rehearsal yesterday preparing for Day 1 of tracking vocals! These guys are great people and killer musicians. Just wait until you hear what they have come up with!"
I personally can't wait.
If you still haven't heard this band's previous material, you are missing out.
The Empire Shall Fall are smack dab in the middle of releasing a series of EPs. The second is due out next.
How is it that Jesse can be in not one great band but three? Most people aren't even in one good band, and he's in three.

Sarah and Nick were married at the White Hart Hotel, Boston, Lincolnshire on Saturday.
This is a venue I photographed a lot in my first year and haven't been back to since, so it was nice to have a 'fresh' pair of eyes on the wedding photography for this venue. I'm looking forward to another wedding there later in August.
The bride wore a lovely ivory fitted gown from Westland's bridal shop, Boston.
With the bridesmaids and groomsmen and groom wearing elements of cadbury's purple.
The reception was decorated by EventExquisite LTD, Rachel, in Boston which was simple and stunning as ever.
I loved photographing this wedding as it was a chance to catch up with the groom's family, who I met while photographing his brothers wedding 2 years ago.
Sarah and Nick are such a lovely couple and have a lovely family!

I recently picked up three security-related titles that I thought were
worth reviewing: Linux Server Security, 2nd
Edition, by Michael D. Bauer; Hardening
Linux, by James Turnball; and Hardening Apache,
by Tony Mobily. O'Reilly and Apress books feel different from each other. I
like both publishers' products, but it's worth trying different flavors to
see which appeals to you more than the other on any given topic.
O'Reilly books are a bit prettier that Apress's. The font is lighter, tables use
lighter rules and greying to offset table headers and notes are marked
with icons. None of this affects the substance, but it feels more
polished--like attending a class.
Apress books, on the other hand, are less formal. The font is a bit
heavier, and the typography makes everything look more solid. When I'm reading
an Apress book, I feel closer to the author, almost like I'm on Usenet or trading
e-mail with an expert.
Linux Server Security has 13 chapters, totaling 487 pages. It's
written for a Linux administrator who has some security experience. I love
the first chapter, "Threat Modeling and Risk Management", because it does a
great job of talking about why everything else in the book is important
and teaches you how to think about it all together. Another good chapter
is "Simple Intrusion Detection Techniques" (Chapter 13), which talks about
both host-based and network-based intrusion detection.
After chapters covering general topics such as perimeter networks,
system hardening and remote administration, Bauer goes on to cover six
different kinds of bastion servers. Name servers, LDAP, databases,
e-mail, Web servers and file services each gets its own chapter. The
book then book returns to general topics, such as hitting logging and the
aforementioned intrusion detection.
I think Linux Server Security is a great value for
the price. It ought to be on your bookshelf if you've been tasked with
improving the security of your Linux host(s).
Hardening Linux is 11 chapters long and has 510
pages, discounting index and appendices. It's geared toward a Linux
professional who has a little security experience. Two features of this
book that I really like are Chapter six, "Using Tools for Security
Testing", and Appendix C, "Checkpoints", which gives a chapter-by-chapter
punch-list of practices from the book.
The first six chapters cover security in general and are followed by
five chapters covering three specific services: email, which gets three
chapters; FTP; and DNS. Reading the three chapters on e-mail is time well spent. The first
covers your MTA and looks at relaying as well as anti-spam and anti-virus tools.
The second chapter looks at mail as an application, covering authentication and
encryption. The third talks about providing remote access to e-mail by
way of POP, IMAP and fetchmail.
Hardening Linux provides a lot of value for the
price, particularly if you're just getting started with security. I
think it's a close second to Bauer's book.
Hardening Apache is the smallest and most focused
of the three titles discussed here. It weighs in at 236 pages, without
appendices and index, and seven chapters. Hardening
Apache also seemed the most compelling of the three books. I
really liked Appendix C, "Chapter Checkpoints", and Chapter 7,
"Automating Security".
Hardening Apache covers the installation and
configuration of Apache, common vulnerabilities, logging, cross site
scripting (XSS), several security modules, chrooting and the
automation tools I mentioned before. It does not provide any coverage of
CGI-related security issues--outside of the XSS chapter--however, which
is a bit of a weakness.
Overall, I liked Mobily's book. As an administrator, I think it's worth
owning. If you're a Web developer, though, you might want to look for a
book more attuned to your specific needs.

Steve Davis reluctant to loan out Leyton Orient's talented kids just yet
PUBLISHED: 17:00 16 August 2017
07958 573219 firstname.lastname@example.com
The O's are still actively looking for a target man, but have been frustrated in their attempts to bring one in so far
Leyton Orient head coach Steve Davis wants to spend more time with the club's youngsters before potentially sending them out on loan this season.
The 52-year-old has only been in charge at Brisbane Road for over a month and is still getting to grips with life in east London.
Davis' reputation when it comes to developing young players is well known and although some of the kids at O's are eager to get some game time, they may have to be patient for a little longer.
He said: "There are a few who we could get out now if we wanted too, but I don't want to come into a football club and then loan them straight out.
"I want to be able to work with them and if they go to a full-time club then they will be training with them more often than us, so I won't see much of them.
"I would like to do work with them to improve them and help them and I have told them this.
"I believe it is more valuable for them to be working with me and training with the rest of the squad than be away for weeks and training and playing with others.
"But there will be two or three at least who will go out to maybe the league below to get some more experience, which will be great for them."
Orient have several talented players who have graduated through their academy, but are low down in the pecking order at the moment.
Michael Clark and Aron Pollock are battling with Josh Coulson and George Elokobi to get into O's starting XI while Jamie Sendles-White appears to be getting fitter with every passing day.
Meanwhile Freddy Moncur and Henry Ochieng are in a fight with Charlie Lee, Alex Lawless and Craig Clay for two midfield spots, so one may be set for a loan spell in the coming weeks.
Orient are light of options up front and Tristan Abrahams is yet to make an appearance for the first-team since completing a transfer to Norwich City – and then being loaned straight back for the season.
The forward played for the Canaries under-23s on Monday and that might have been why he wasn't involved during the 6-1 loss at Bromley.
Although David Mooney and Macauley Bonne have both got off the mark this season, O's need more options up front and Director of Football Martin Ling and Davis are still looking for another player in attack.
A powerful, tall striker appears to be on Orient's wishlist, but it seems for now they are being frustrated in their search for a much-needed target man.

DrugMoney: Mtn Cty Jnk
Afflicted with a juvenile and largely misleading name, this Asheville, North Carolina, quartet seems to have taken measures to conceal on paper what they're really like. You shouldn't let the fact that a band member's being credited as playing "lap steel" fool you; DrugMoney doesn't play alt-country. And the fact that their debut has been co-produced with Wharton Tiers, best known for his work channeling the guitar noise of Sonic Youth, Helmet, and Unsane, shouldn't lead you to believe that the band plays experimental post-rock or off-time math metal. In truth, DrugMoney offers no-nonsense "modern rock" à la bands like Foo Fighters and Bush (with occasional acoustic touches to perhaps remind us of their "roots").
As is obvious from leader Fisher Meehan's first snarling vocal whine, Nirvana furnishes his band's musical boilerplate: he hews to hooky melodies with a rugged, more or less convincing ferocity, while sluggish guitars thick with distortion trudge through satisfyingly familiar chord progressions. The result? Songs not especially memorable but fairly fulfilling while they're playing. It wasn't that long ago that every band was trying to pull this off, but now it seems nostalgic: pop culture has become so accelerated that DrugMoney could be marketing itself as a '90s retro band. Many of their songs bring back the dubious pleasures of one-hit-wonder bands like the Presidents of the United States of America or Better Than Ezra.
On Mtn Cty Jnk, the crisp, one-high-note riff and the dynamic shifts between verse and chorus of the opening track, "I Know", are instantly appealing, radio-friendly circa 1995, and the following "Small Thinking", with its acoustic guitars and orchestrated strings, makes for a nice contrast, showcasing DrugMoney's ability in both angsty and melancholy modes. Both feature the signature Cobain move of beginning in a subdued, near narcoleptic voice before yelping with impassioned lack of restraint, all while the music continues on indifferently, adding a poignancy to the singer's supposed desperation. When they stick to these sorts of formulas, DrugMoney is effective in the same way a generic pain-reliever is; through no-frills copying of a branded product, it fulfills its aims efficently. Here the goals are to coax you to bob your head in rhythm and experience the subadrenal rush that comes with a well-turned chorus, and Mtn Cty Jnk proves DrugMoney can accomplish them with proficient ease.
If only they were content with that considerable achievement -- it's no small feat to credibly resuscitate that moribund genre. The problem comes when they get more ambitious, and they cast around for some sonic feature that could brand them with a distinct, recognizable sound. As with their annoyingly voweless album title (not to mention their run-together name), a likely attempt to attract unearned attention through sheer typography, DrugMoney seeks out applique quirks to cloak the essential anonymity of their achievement. Consequently, many songs open with strained flourishes: the muffled vocal loop at the beginning of the otherwise succinct and engaging "Rough & Tumble" (which also features the aforementioned lap steel, in what has to be one of its least countrified uses ever); the superfluous pseudo-Japanese lick that opens "Anyway", along with the garbage-truck-in-reverse alarm noise that persists throughout; the distorted, spoken words malingering behind the actual singing, mucking up the sweetly minor-keyed "Stars"; the dingy organ that sinks slowly developing "D.M.D." before it can kick in. These touches convey aspirations to slickness on an album that already might be a bit too facile for its own good.
What makes loose, sloppy bands appealing despite themselves is the palpable sense that they are wrestling with their limited musical ideas (not to mention their instruments), trying to wrench out something new, showing that trying to reinvent the wheel can really be hopeful and touchingly sympathetic. In the struggle, the tired themes of love and self-discovery seem almost new, and our own inevitable efforts to pursue them are thereby dignified. But when DrugMoney smoothes out the struggle, and cycles through the themes and musical ideas that push rock fans' emotional buttons with the confident, actuarial calculation of an insurance salesman, the sense of our uniqueness is effaced even as the well-produced guitar tones and vocal growls massage us into pleasure, and we are brought to face how easily as listeners we can be programmed.
By recalling indie rock's finest commercial hour, the band reminds you how success fomented the genre's ruin. What made Nirvana so captivating was how their confidence was continually undermined by a nagging embarrassment they seemed to feel and by the intensity with which they tore into the complacency of their own targeted audience. They made the callow contradiction of being victimized by success and tormented by satisfaction seem believable, made it resonate with the contradictions average people confront. DrugMoney offers no solace for such conflictedness; their hooks have none of the tension that should fuel them, which leaves you with the same feeling you get when you discover you've spent eight hours playing Xbox, or wasted an afternoon watching a Behind the Music marathon. You're moved, and a bit ashamed about having been affected by something so strangely empty.

Shoah, the title of Claude Lanzmann's nine-hour documentary, means chaos or annihilation, and is the name that Israelis have given to the Holocaust. Yet there are no old newsreels, few interviews with survivors and no coverage of war crimes trials. Lanzmann spent six years simply looking for eyewitnesses. Most of those witnesses are Germans and Poles who either worked in the camps or observed what went on in them.
The faces of the interviewees are interspersed with sequences of the places where the deaths took place, not as they were but as they are now. Grass and flowers grow on the mass graves, the tracks on which the inmates were transported are still used by trains, and the concentration camps themselves look like disused factories. The horror lies not in what we see but in what we are told.
Lanzmann is a patient but insistent interrogator. He simply tries to winkle out the details. It's what happened that counts – the how rather than the why. He is sometimes underhand, using concealed cameras or assuring people that their conversations with him are private. Generally, however, we see what they see: the cameras and the lanky, chain-smoking man who asks the questions.
Nothing is formally arranged in the editing. Shoah is not a chronological or factual record of the Holocaust. We have survivors, those who killed and bystanders in a kind of mosaic that begins slowly to make sense of something utterly without sense. Ordinary people enmeshed in extraordinary times? Perhaps. But we get no clue from Lanzmann. At one point, he interviews a railway engineer who drove the trains to Treblinka and asks if he could hear what went on in the carriages behind his locomotive. Obviously he could. "The screams from the cars closest to the locomotives could be heard."
"Can one get used to that?" asks Lanzmann. "No," says the engineer, recalling that the Germans plied him and other workers with vodka so that they could do the job.
Many of Lanzmann's subjects were only on the fringes of the situation, scheduling trains, for instance, or organising work parties. But others were so closely involved that you can scarcely believe what you are hearing.
There is Filip Muller, the Czech Jew whose duty it was to stand at the crematorium doors at Auschwitz as the victims walked in. One day, he saw a group of his fellow countrymen singing first the Hatikvah and then the Czech national anthem and was so moved that he decided to join them. But as he entered the chamber a woman said to him: "So you want to die? But that's senseless. Your death won't give us back our lives. That's no way. You must get out of here alive, you must bear witness to our suffering and to the injustice done to us."
There are countless stories like Muller's. They make Shoah one of the most remarkable films ever made – a terrible matter-of-fact document that makes David Irving's anti-history fade into insignificance. Strangely, the quieter Shoah gets, the more it resonates. Once seen, never forgotten.

This is the fifth release from Julius Papp's exciting label with number five's double header keeping the expectation intact. Smoothly does it as, "Fall For You" supplies a lush, deep groove with vocals to match. Eminently funky and, as always, well produced this is perfect late night listening as either a song or instrumental. Charles Spencer then compliments it all with an uplifting, percussion fuelled rhythm which cant fail but to delight. Quality and quantity.

Where to go within the city walls
Dubrovnik's old town is a maze of narrow cobbled streets surrounded by its city walls. The historic heart of the city might not seem the most obvious place for a night out. You'll find a wide choice of different ways to spend your evenings though, whether you're looking for a cosy pub or smart cocktail bar.
Right in the city walls is legendary cliffside bar Buža. It has some of the best views in town with tables overlooking the water, but you need to get there early to bag a good spot for sunset. It's not cheap and drinks come in plastic cups but the panoramic views more than make up for it. You can even climb down from the bar for a dip in the sea. There's no name outside so just look out for the 'Cold drinks' sign pointing to an archway in the south part of the city walls.
At Ul. don Frana Bulića's Art Cafe they've taken quirky décor to a new level. The seats are made from baths, washing machine drums are used as tables, and lamps are made from old birdcages. It's all very colourful it's the ideal place if you consider yourself to be part of the young and fashionable crowd.
Svetog Dominika's 360° brings a taste of Ibiza to Dubrovnik's old town. It's the place to go for classy cocktails with a view of the port. It's built into the city walls and is mainly a restaurant, but also has a lounge and terrace with a good selection of wines and cocktails for you to try.
If things start to get a bit too hot at any point, you can cool off at Croatia's first ice bar. Poljana Paska Milicevica's Oniofrio bar is kept at a chilly -5°C, and drinks are served from glasses made from ice blocks. You'll be given a jacket and gloves so you don't need to pack your winter clothes.

Jörg Widmann
Once in a while, you encounter a musician who makes everything they touch buzz with electricity.
"Any Widmann performance brings whatever he plays kicking and screaming into the present day," says The Guardian.
As clarinetist, Widmann studied with Gerd Starke in Munich and Charles Neidich at the Juilliard School in New York. He performs regularly with leading world orchestras, such as Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, Orchestra National de France, National Symphony Orchestra Washington, Orchestre symphonique de Montréal and Toronto Symphony Orchestra. He collaborates with conductors such as Daniel Barenboim, Valery Gergiev, Kent Nagano, Sylvain Cambreling, Christoph Eschenbach and Christoph von Dohnányi.
Widmann studied composition with Kay Westermann, Wilfried Hiller and Wolfgang Rihm. His works continue to receive multiple awards such as the prestigious Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center's Elise L. Stoeger Prize (2009), the Paul Hindemith Prize in 2001, the Arnold Schönberg Prize by the Vienna Arnold Schönberg Centre and the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin (2004) and both the SWR Sinfonieorchester Baden-Baden und Freiburg's composition award and the Berliner Philharmoniker Academy's Claudio Abbado Composition Award in 2006. Widmann's compositions are performed regularly by conductors such as Pierre Boulez, Christian Thielemann, Mariss Jansons, Andris Nelsons and Simon Rattle and premiered by orchestras such as the Wiener and Berliner Philharmoniker, New York Philharmonic, Orchestre de Paris and many others.

Bath have confirmed that back-row forward Carl Fearns is to join French club Lyon.
Fearns, 26, has made more than 70 appearances for Bath since joining them four years ago from Sale Sharks.
"We are obviously disappointed to let Carl go, but he feels the time is right to make a change, and we respect that," Bath head coach Mike Ford said.
"He's a talented and committed player, and I am sure he will be a great success in France."
Bath, meanwhile, have been strongly linked to strengthening their back-row resources for next term by recruiting Wales number eight Taulupe Faletau.
No announcement has been made by last season's beaten Aviva Premiership finalists regarding Faletau, but it is thought that a deal could be close.

The new Junior College (JC) which will offer an Integrated Programme (IP) for secondary students from 2017 will be named Eunoia Junior College, the Ministry of Education (MOE) announced on Tuesday (Dec 29).
Eunoia JC will be located at a temporary site in Mount Sinai when it opens, until its campus in Sin Ming is ready in late 2019. The bulk of its students will be those taking the IP at Catholic High School, CHIJ St Nicholas Girls' School and Singapore Chinese Girls' School. Under this programme, secondary students can sit for their GCE A-Level Examinations without taking the GCE O-Level Examinations.
According to MOE, Eunoia refers to "beautiful thinking" and "goodwill towards others", "alluding to the convergence of the heart and mind, which is one of the key tenets of the JC's vision: Thinkers with Heart".
MOE also said the choice of name demonstrates the JC's commitment not only to nurture students with outstanding academic abilities but its belief in the importance of building character and wisdom in tandem with intellectual pursuits.

at Port Street Beer House
Friday 11th November 2016 / 4pm-8pm
Saturday 12th November 2016 / 2pm-8pm
Our friends Holy Crab, purveyors of sustainable seafood snacks (and much more), join us at Port Street for a very special weekend. Very special because there will be hot food at Port Street, this is a total rarity…we haven't seen hot food in years. Can you even imagine? Menu coming soon.
Holy Crab killed it at Indy Man Beer Con last month (you don't even wanna know how many oysters they shucked each session) and we've since caught up with them on the road at The Pilcrow and Magic Rock Tap. Their hot streak doesn't look like ending any time soon so come down and enjoy some finger lickin' crustaceans and more besides fresh from Holy Crab. Crabsolutely.
– Buxton takeover PSBH 6th-9th October 2016
6th-9th October 2016 / IMBC 16 Fringe
We never believed in the term/lifestyle "Birthday Week" until now…and it's not even our birthday, though it feels like it is.
Buxton Brewery are coming to Port Street for FOUR DAYS. That's almost a week. I'm sure they'll be four of the best days of our year that's for sure. Think a tap takeover and quadruple it. Buxton are promising to bring a very special haul – rumours of cask rarities and soft serve pours abound. Details coming soon.
The Buxton Port Street takeover is a fringe event for our beer festival, Indy Man Beer Con, occurring the exact same days as merriments in Victoria Baths (6th-9th October 2016). As if you didn't have enough good beer on your plate, we thought we'd give you more. The Buxton takeover is open to all.
Our sister pubs are also holding IMBC fringe takeovers with Common housing a BEAVERTOWN spectacular and The Beagle in Chorlton fielding a HAWKSHEAD onslaught. Gotta drink 'em all!

Making sense of life regardless of beliefs or religion
Ignatius Press publishes Jesuit Fr. Robert Spitzers work on principles governing life issues
by Kevin Wandra Wednesday, October 26, 2011
For more information:
Kevin Wandra, 678-990-9032
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 26, 2011 Life and life issues challenge everyone.
How do we make sense of it? How should we treat others, and how should we reasonably expect them to treat us? Are there reasonable principles regardless of religious belief that can guide our actions, especially when human life is at stake? What should we use to base our perspectives on and actions about life issues like abortion, euthanasia and embryonic stem cell research?
Jesuit Fr. Robert Spitzer offers a look at such standards in Ten Universal Principles: A Brief Philosophy of the Life Issues. The book is available now from Ignatius Press.
The evolution of culture and civilization has arisen out of the development of ten fundamental principles, Fr. Spitzer writes in the books introduction. He note that three of them deal with evidence and objective truth; three deal with ethics; three deal with the dignity and treatment of human beings; and the tenth represents what is generally known as The Golden Rule.
He asserts that failure to teach and practice any one of the principles can lead to a variety of wrongs. Failure to teach several of these principles, he adds, will most certainly lead to widespread abuse and a general decline in culture.
In a truly concise and easy-to-read format, Fr. Spitzer transcends religious beliefs to offer sound, lynchpin reasoning that can guide our thoughts and actions our laws and public policies.
The former president of Gonzaga University, Fr. Spitzer is Founder and President of the Magis Institute an organization dedicated to public education on the relationship among the disciplines of physics, philosophy, reason and faith. He also heads the Ethics and Performance Institute, and the Spitzer Center of Ethical Leadership, which delivers ethics-education curricula to corporations and individuals, and nonprofit organizations, respectively.
Ten Universal Principles offers an intelligent outline for thinking and talking about human life and life issues. Its a powerful tool for persuasively discussing a pro-life philosophy and a major reason is because its not founded in Catholicism or any other religion or spiritual belief.
Rather, in Ten Universal Principles, Fr. Spitzer explains an approach to logical discernment and discussion that anyone of any faith can and, in his opinion, should use in formulating their outlook on some of the most serious issues of our time.
Fr. Spitzer will be available for interviews between Nov. 6 and Nov. 23. For more information, or to request an interview with Fr. Spitzer or review copies of Ten Universal Principles, please contact Kevin Wandra with The Maximus Group (678-990-9032 or email@example.com).

Andrew Wyeth Quotes
15 Andrew Wyeth quotes:
"I don't really have studios. I wander around around people's attics, out in fields, in cellars, anyplace I find that invites me."
"I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape - the loneliness of it, the dead feeling of winter. Something waits beneath it, the whole story doesn't show."
"I dream a lot. I do more painting when I'm not painting. It's in the subconscious."
"If you clean it up, get analytical, all the subtle joy and emotion you felt in the first place goes flying out the window."
"To have all your life's work and to have them along the wall, it's like walking in with no clothes on. It's terrible."
"Artists today think of everything they do as a work of art. It is important to forget about what you are doing - then a work of art may happen."
"At 18 I began painting steadily fulltime and at age 20 had my first New York show at the Macbeth Gallery."
"I can't work completely out of my imagination. I must put my foot in a bit of truth; and then I can fly free."
"I love to study the many things that grow below the corn stalks and bring them back to the studio to study the color. If one could only catch that true color of nature - the very thought of it drives me mad."
"I search for the realness, the real feeling of a subject, all the texture around it... I always want to see the third dimension of something... I want to come alive with the object."
"I surrendered to a world of my imagination, reenacting all those wonderful tales my father would read aloud to me. I became a very active reader, especially history and Shakespeare."
"It's a moment that I'm after, a fleeting moment, but not a frozen moment."
"It's all in how you arrange the thing... the careful balance of the design is the motion."
"One's art goes as far and as deep as one's love goes."
"To be interested solely in technique would be a very superficial thing to me."
