15 years after founding the Hans-ZIMMER.com website on the following day of the concert in Ghent in 2000, I finally have the opportunity to attend the upstream work of an event that everyone will remember: October's 2014 London concerts "Hans ZIMMER REVEALED & friends".
Indeed, the expanded Hans-Zimmer.com team was there at the beginning of this event since September 22nd with special permission to film the creation of an important highlight of the composer's career.
Everything started at Studio John Henry, not far from Camden in London, a place that has been used by so many musical stars to make their records in the past 40 years.
The many autographed pictures hanging on the walls of the studio are a sign to the studio's immense history ... The calm street lined with warehouses gives no hint of the fact that one of the greatest composers will be there every morning for two and a half weeks. London is definitely full of surprises.
From the perspective of the passionate enthusiast I am, I will have to play it professionally. "Fan" is a pejorative-sounding word that is not defining me anymore. I'm not interested in taking a picture with Hans or getting some autographs. What interests me is to show him that our site can be a partner on whom he can rely, and that with the technical performance of it, we can combine the visual performance of a story that will emphasize what the passionate people really want to see : The "behind the scenes" that no one other than us can do.
It is already late into the night, it is 3am and in 6 hours I will finally meet Hans Zimmer for the first time in 3 years. So much to say, sentences are forming in my french thinking head, my english is fluent, my grammar and vocabulary are set up beautifully, the excitement was rising. With such glibness, Hans will likely stop rehearsal to listen to my words and share some of his views on some of his scores with me. But I'm not here for that, I have a role to play and will have myself allowing him to return to work or everything will not be ready for the big day ... Back to the reality of my dark bedroom, it is now 4am ...
That's it, the night was short, I am now heading to the studio. My stomach is in a knot, like going to the dentist to have my wisdom teeth yanked out. It's silly, but nothing to do about it, it is uncontrollable. I have collected all of Hans Zimmer's music since 1993, usually before the movie is even released. I must prove myself as a credible documentary's director. Regarding my role on the project, my 3D camera broke down one week before the start of rehearsals. I have with me my GoPro camera, and we will count on the cameras and expertise of Pierre and Maxime for outstanding images. As for the sound, we were able to get a direct connection to the mixer to make sure we get the best sound possible. Practicing my sentences in English again, but the words do not come. The grammar is awful, as if my english brain's lobe is taking a nap after its powerful and inspiring night.
I'm finally there. Members of Hans-ZIMMER.com who have already been there for two days introduce me to many people that are all smiling and happy to see me. I'm trying to remember the names, but between their role and face it was hard to remember titles and names. No worry, time should help me see more clearly! However, I cross many familiar faces, that of Nick Glennie-Smith who glances at me quickly, and goes quickly to his music stand to prepare. The room is quite small, the team is reduced to twenty people, including technicians. On the stage: instruments, cables, moog, computers, and for sure a good dose of knowledge to make something from it. I'm looking forward to it very much.
Hans makes his entrance, the entire room perks up. Everyone goes directly to say hello, smiles are in order and spirits are high. Then comes the moment of meeting the team. My team remains perfectly calm and comfortable. I on the other after hours of preparation from the night before, muster out a simple "Hi", holding a trembling hand and a frozen smile. Hans said he recognizes me and he tried to start a dialogue. But we must face the facts ; my french ear refused to make sense of all the words I was hearing. A smile will pull me through for now, but what about the next 48 hours? Let's put that on hold, we'll see that later ...
Hans moved to his synthesizers and gave some instructions. Screens were distributed around the studio to visualize the counting measures and their rate of implementation. The beep of the metronome is set up and filled the room, fingers begin to trickle on keyboards. The result is impressive, because computers were generating the sounds of artists not present. Lebo M and Lisa Gerrard are virtually with us in the room. The master of leagues shakes his head in time with the music, and while continuing to play, he looks at the technical staff turns to a member of his team smiling then back to performing. He closes his eyes, feeling the depth of his music, looking up; some failures of executions, some false notes, sometimes the hand is lost while the piece continues its run. It doesn't matter as he gets back on track, and above all there is still more than 2 weeks before the first concert. How many people would love to be here right now? I can't imagine. I am aware of how lucky I am, and that feeling wouldn't disappear during those 2.5 weeks.
"A big thank you to you, Hans, who allowed this and who trusted us to produce the making of!" That's absolutely what I have to tell him, and I'm already starting to think about the English translation ...
Over time, I feel more at ease, embarrassed smiles were replaced by the looks of office colleagues. Everyone is there to do their job! My GoPro camera sneaks into places that will give a unique angle on things. Hans knows that I'm always hovering around him, but while continuing to play he stays focused on the music and not on me. After all, he wanted us to be there. But maybe sometimes he would think, "Why did I allow them to be here? ". I explore other areas, wandering the studio while musicians perform their partitions. I come across items that would delight any fan or collector such as full orchestral sheet music for each piece which will be played during the concert. I see the complete schedule of the concert. I like that it covers Hans' entire career. However, I find myself dreaming of winning the lottery and producing a concert "for the fans," where we would hear Backdraft, Beyond Rangoon, The Prince Of Egypt, The House Of The Spirit, Fools Of Fortune or Black Hawk Down or Rush !
Note for myself ; Thinking about playing the lottery when I return to France !
During the breaks between sets we meet many of the great musicians. Some are more open than others and easier to approach. The first words were usually "Sorry, but my English is really bad," however this was usually a great ice-breaker that opened up for more conversation. Hans was usually surrounded and busy. So I head over to people who seemed free to chat or were curious as to what we were doing there. Chief among them, Mary Scully a supercharged and super-cheerful bassist. There was Nick Glennie-Smith and Richard Harvey whose kindness and efforts tried to help stimulate the English-speaking area of my brain that is definitely taking its time to exit its coma. I see Hans, I venture to a few sentences like "it's a lot of work! " (Woah, I think it was relevant that, Nico...)
"behind the great work, i really like the good vibes in your team!"
Always kind and smiling, Hans tries to answer to which I do not understand anything. Thereupon my famous smile invented that morning which punctuates this dialogue that should not, except, surprise, revolutionizing the music critics. Anyway, Hans always has a line of people around him anytime he has 10 free seconds to himself, and we respect the relaxing moments he chooses with a particular musician. We are already pleased to be able to quietly observe during this time, let us not be more royalist than the king. All of a sudden a crowd: Mark Brickman, head of lighting effects during the concert, and having worked in particular on Pink Floyd concerts gets on stage. He shows on his laptop some lighting effects that he has appointed for some pieces. Hans and the musicians are attentive, silent, and then vent their satisfaction. They look forward to it.
The tracks are coming one after another, and my GoPro camera starts to fall into the same old patterns. Time to renew angles, reinvigorate the genre. I ask our dear David Marcucci (Dave), the tour manager and coordinator if I can take a tripod that nobody seems to be using in the room. To which he replied, "No!". Short enough to understand that insisting would not be welcome. Luckily, my friend Pierre has a tripod which he isn't using, I'll be able to put it to good use. Reassured, I have a few moments to relax and I see this beautiful scene that I would never have dreamed of witnessing. Hans is 6 feet away from me and plays his greatest compositions. His team follows him, and while Satnam Ramgotra rages on his drums, Nick, Andrew Kawczynski and Steve Mazzaro are at the bottom tapping away at their keyboards. What sounds come out? I can not say, even based on the rhythm of their chords. The harmony is magical, but it's difficult to distinguish who's playing what.
To describe these rehearsals, Hans asked Stéphane 'Hybrid' to come and to see 'The Chaos'. Chaos being small errors, small arrangements and the timings to review. Gladly there were no major disputes, technical problems, insults or fighting with knives. The team's members know each other, the new ones are part of the family, old ones joke amongst them. Any remarks Hans made were humorous and as if talking with your closest friends. It makes sense, consider spending 2.5 weeks locked up with people you don't get along with. Everyone here was part of the family and got along just fine.
2pm rolls around and it's lunch time. Dave has it all organized after asking quickly between songs what everyone wanted to eat from the available menu picked for the day. With a stack of meals and a bunch of hungry musicians, relaxation on the terrace for 30-45min was in order. We are used to seeing pictures of Hans in his studio, on a scoring stage, at a piano, or collaborating with other composers and musicians. It was a brief moment of seeing Hans just eating a meal with friends, and speaks a lot about the people he chooses to surround himself with. The group chats about old memories, stories from old scores they worked on together and other fun stuff. After politely intruding to speak with Hans who has denied us nothing and given us his full support, I slip out and let Pierre explain the plans for the documentary.
I go visit the dear Jill Streater, that seems tacked all day in a chair at a computer and copier. She is a pearl of kindness and patience, without removing the fact that she is also a real musician that instantly corrects pieces at the request of the musical team and Hans in particular. Located in the room just above the rehearsal studio, she receives emails directly with corrections, then she edits, corrects and re-prints new sheets to re-distribute. Old drafts are immediately destroyed. I talk with her a bit, she lends us her computer to backup our memory cards. We take advantage of her huge space to interview her as well as Ann Marie Simpson. Fortunately for the English, I can count on the rest of the team! The time together is still long, many accept our interview requests with pleasure, but Hans who is always in a hurry replies nicely with a "later".
Rehearsals resume, always exciting and always full of magnitude. They are still dotted with a few mistakes as the team is brainstorming about ways to play some particular parts. We are amazed, listening to the medleys which succeed one another. In particular, the one of the Lion King where finally, we hear an interpretation of the score. Unlike the concert in Ghent back in 2000 that had the spotlight on "Rhythm Of The Pride Land". Not one wrong note for the first rehearsal, everyone seems surprised, except for Hans and Richard as these notes appear to be part of their genetic code. We also discover a really exciting interpretation of "Crimson Tide." Sometimes these long musical tracks make time for people's breaks while Steve Mazzaro give advices to the bassist Yolanda Charles to perform a specific part of the current piece. Hans tests his guitar for minutes or is kneeling under the desk to review the connection of multiple cables. Outside, a box filled with candy and other sweets undergoes a true assault. We take the opportunity to recharge our camera batteries, talk to some musicians and to teach our dear Mary how to use the new coffee machine, probably one of my best performances over the two days.
The afternoon continues and some musicians' skills are really tested. An amazing rhythm percussion from Satnam, a 30-seconds Dark Knight frenetic slide for Yolanda which causes sweat to start beading on her forehead, a frenzied pace of execution for Guthrie on the guitar who can be decidedly asked to play anything, and Mary whose tigress hair is really not by chance. While Richard was juggling between a keyboard and his woodwinds instruments, poor Nick was sniffling due to a cold with tears and tissue on hand. Imaginary or African words for Czarina, while a certain impassive composure accompanies the flawless execution of Tristan, Andrew, Frank and Steve. And a nice smile remains invariably grafted onto the face of Mary Ann, no matter the difficulty of the piece. The director, Peter Asher make a brief appearance to assure everything was going smoothly. He talks a few minutes with the musical team, then disappears as quickly as he appeared.
Hours pass like minutes, and we soon arrive at 8:30 p.m. with no sign of slowing down. Dark Knight rehearsals begin (a 22-minute suite scheduled for the concert). We certainly can not do anything tonight. Hans decides to embark on the actual execution of "Deshi Basara" (which means "rise up"). Alone at the microphone, he starts this very special part of Dark Knight Rises and engages in frantic arm movements to the rhythm of "Deshi" or "Basara." Initially it's going, it's pretty easy! Then everything speeds up, right arm begins to rise instead of the left arm, we can see the awkwardness on the face of Hans that stops everything ... The piece is worked on for almost half an hour. It is 9:35 p.m. and Dave reminds him that the studio needs to close. Again he goes for one more take, and the day finally ended. Everyone leaves their desk, satisfied with the day's work or that the day is finally over, we can not tell. Hans says goodbye to people on his way out, then rushes into a car waiting for him. The day is not over for him yet, he told us earlier that he was still working on "Interstellar". As we begin to debrief between us about the great experience that we just experienced, we are looking for a restaurant in the area that's still open at 10pm. Hans Zimmer will have to perform certain tasks: after the interpretations of his former works, time for inspiration and composition. We understand better now why he arrives around 11am in the morning. Tomorrow will be another great and long day for him, because after long hours of rehearsals, he will fly to Krakow in the evening to participate in a film music festival.
London falls asleep, Hans' car can be seen driving away. Hovering over the edge of the road you can imagine the shadow of Commissioner Gordon, looking at the car and saying "Because he is the hero that film scores deserve, and the one it needs rights now."

Legend has it that the Roman poet Virgil put a magical egg in the foundations of Castel dell'Ovo to protect it from being destroyed. Today, it's Naples' oldest fortification – so what do you believe?
Pastel-coloured villages, little beaches, sheer cliffs and a rugged shoreline. Who doesn't long for the dolce vita on the Amalfi Coast?
Treat yourself to a sunny afternoon on the Piazza del Plebiscito, the perfect place to soak up Naples' continental grandeur.
Naples (Napoli) is full of old-world Italian charm. A sun-soaked, versatile destination – perfect for a beach holiday or a city break packed with culture and things to do. The Romans, the Normans and the Spanish all wanted to rule Naples, and it's easy to see why. With two royal palaces, three castles and ancient ruins that include some of Christianity's oldest frescoes, this port town is teeming with history.
But it's not the architecture that the locals are most proud of, it's the food. The restaurants in Naples are where you'll find some of the best pizza, pasta and seafood in all of Italy. So let Brussels Airlines serve you up some cheap flights to Naples and book your holiday today.
Here are some simple phrases to help you get by:
Because of its climate, it's almost always an excellent time to go to Naples. The average temperature in the summer can be a bit stifling (over 30 degrees Celsius is common) and tourist attractions can get very busy, so you may want to avoid the crowds from June to September. However, if the weather is too hot or if you experience the odd day of rain there is plenty to do in the city, and lots of museums and galleries to take refuge in if you need to escape Naples' weather.
The food in Naples is among the best in the world. Naples nightlife revolves around dining in the restaurants down by the sea. Its mix of pizza, pasta, and seafood is matched perfectly by the Campania region's fantastic local wine selection.
Don't wait a moment longer and book now your getaway to Naples with Brussels Airlines.

The menu is vast with many vegan options, so it was hard to decide what to have, but I went for the Bar Bea seitan burger with naan bread and sweet potato sticks and it did not disappoint, it was fantastic.
I was far too full for a dessert, but if the main course was anything to go by, I do not doubt the desserts would be as good. If in Dubrovnik, do not miss out on a visit to Nishta, or you will regret it and as for the price, well a meal for two with delicious local sparkling water was 182.00 kuna, which I worked out to be about £18.00.

Yorkshire Wolds walk - Kirby Underdale and Thixendale
PUBLISHED: 00:00 15 June 2016 | UPDATED: 19:32 17 February 2020
not Archant
Ease the stresses of a busy everyday life on an afternoon walk with just skylarks overhead for company
This walk was published in June 2016, so the details of the route may no longer be accurate, we do advise these articles should only be used as a guideline for any potential route you take and you should double check an up to date map before you set off.
If someone could find a way to bottle the Yorkshire Wolds the result would probably come free on the NHS. Turn off any of the main roads onto the near-deserted byways that criss-cross these gentle uplands and the pace of life seems to visibly slow and your pulse rate drops. As you press deeper into the green folds through small villages, often clustered round picturesque ponds, an air of tranquillity descends.
You will look in vain for dramatic features, finding nothing to rival Malham Cove, Ingleborough or Bempton Cliffs. Nor will you find many people. Compared to the Wolds, the national parks of the Dales and Moors are hotbeds of hustle and bustle. Doing this gentle circuit on a warm spring afternoon I met one other walker throughout its length and saw a tiny tractor ploughing a distant chalky field. For the rest of the walk my companions were sheep with new-born lambs and chattering pheasants while overhead skylarks filled a clear blue sky with their lung-bursting song. As an antidote to the stresses of modern life it would be hard to find anything better.
The walk begins from All Saints' Church in the tiny village of Kirby Underdale. Perched on the side of a steep hill, parts of it date from the 12th century and a stone carving embedded in one wall goes back to the Roman occupation in the second or third century. Take the path beside the stream at the foot of the churchyard to cross a footbridge and go through a gate to enter a field. Cross the brow and drop down the other side to a waymarked footbridge in the bottom left hand corner before heading off half left up the filed towards farm buildings, which are passed to their left to a gate. Turn left down the lane and then after a couple of hundred yards take an unmade farm access track on the right.
When the track turns 90 degrees uphill, carry on straight ahead through a waymarked gate and follow a line of bedraggled trees to the next gate. Go through this and then immediately right uphill beside the hedge before going left to a gate and stile in the top fence. Cross this and carry on steeply to a broad cart track. Cross this and go through the small gate. Turn immediately left round the field edge and follow this to the tarmacked lane known locally as the Roman Road. Turn left along this for about 500 yards to the access track of Thixendale Grange.
Turn right down this across open fields until just before it reaches the houses you take a gated path on the right marked by an Open Country sign. Follow the track as it curves round behind the buildings in the bed of the dale. This is the other side of Wolds agriculture. The huge flat fields on the Wold tops grow crops but the narrow dales, whose sides are too steep for the plough, are given over to sheep.
The path, now part of the Chalkland Way, follows the bed of the valley, at first called Milham Dale before seamless transforming itself to Thixendale. These abrupt and often seemingly arbitrary name changes explain why the Wolds can claim to have far more 'dales' than their better-known neighbour, the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
When the path reaches Thixendale village, where there is a shop, pub and a weekend café, carry on straight through to a T-junction at the far end and turn right, following a Yorkshire Wolds Way sign and then continue up the road up the lane in the valley bottom. After about 600 yards, where the lane starts to climb, take a broad farm track on the left, soon passing through a gate and following the bed of the dale, still on the Wolds Way.
After about half a mile it reaches a signpost by some intriguing swirling earthworks. They look like mysterious remnants of ancient man but, a little disappointingly, turn out to date back only five years and are a landscape sculpture called Time and Flow by artist Chris Drury, designed to evoke the swirls of departed glaciers.
The Wolds Way hooks back on itself to climb the left hand slope but the sculpture marks the point to leave the Way and turn right over a stile into Worm Dale. Where the path divides take a rising track left and follow it to a gate. Go through and follow the track leftwards along the side of the hedge. At the end of the field follow waymarks to the left to join a farm track which leads to a road. Turn left and then almost immediately right to Kirby Underdale. When the lane reaches Painsthorpe fork left, straight ahead into the hamlet and then carry on ahead passing a farm down a narrowing track until you reach a narrow gate on the right. Go through this and cross the field to regain the lane, which leads to Kirby Underdale church.

There's a potential vandal in each of us, especially when it comes to using public washrooms. In public facilities the wide variety of technology and lack of familiarity may result in unintentional vandalism if the user cannot operate the tap or adjust the temperature. Frustration or impatience may manifest in abusive behaviour and the sanitary fittings provide a convenient target.
DELABIE has over 80 years' experience manufacturing water controls and accessories for the commercial sector. We believe that certain considerations can mitigate against the involuntary vandal such as well-designed facilities, product suitability and regular maintenance.
Aesthetics play a large part. Attractive surroundings with well-maintained fixtures and clean, bright surfaces are more likely to elicit respect and care from the user.
Taps and showers intended for washrooms subject to intensive use such as sports facilities, service stations or airports must be made of robust and durable materials.
System considerations including pipe size, dynamic pressure and flow rates also play an important role. Products that can be easily adjusted to system conditions during installation will pre-empt problems and provide facilities that are fit for purpose.
Watch our video to find out more about how DELABIE's water controls and sanitary fittings provide a complete washroom solution to minimise the impact of involuntary damage.

Over the past few days, there's been someone in the family who's not been feeling well. It seems some sort of stomach virus has been passed from person to person, making it difficult to stick to our regular schedule or get much schooling done. When we are experiencing sick days, I tend to let the lessons slide for the time being and have the children make them up the following weekend.
There are some other ways to approach "sick days", days where you or a child has a cold or a virus that makes homeschooling difficult. Here are a few ideas:
If your child is sick:
Make it a favorite subject day: If your child isn't too sick, but just not feeling quite right, allow him to choose his favorite subject and work on assignments in that area for the day.
Make it a reading day: Give your older children reading assignments that they can do while lying in bed. If your child isn't reading yet, spend the time reading to him.
Make it a video day: If your child is feeling too sick to read, find some educational DVDs he can watch. If you don't have any at home, ask your spouse or a friend to pick some up at your local library.
If you are the one who's sick:
Have Dad help: If you're unable to homeschool, consider having Dad homeschool when he's off work. Even if he works during the day, he can still direct a few lessons after supper.
Enlist the help of older siblings: If you have older children, call on them to help their younger siblings with some of their lessons.
Make it a reading day: Older children can read to the younger ones and do their reading assignments on their own.
Make it a video day: This works well when Mom's the one who's sick, too. While you're recuperating in bed, don't feel guilty about turning on some educational DVDs for your younger children.
If you find the illness is making it just too difficult to continue schooling, though, take the necessary time off to rest and recuperate. You can always make up the school days on the weekends, during traditional holiday breaks, or even during the summer. After all, that's one of the benefits of homeschooling — a flexible schedule that can be changed as needed.

The Newcastle Jets have today parted ways with head coach Ernie Merrick, effective immediately.
Having joined the club in 2017, Merrick reached the grand final with the Jets in his first season but has failed to replicate that success in recent seasons.
W-League coach Craig Deans and current assistant Qiang Li will serve as interim coaches.
Newcastle Jets CEO, Lawrie McKinna, lauded Merrick's early success with the club, but conceded it was time for change.
"During Ernie's tenure, the Club reached its first Grand Final in more than ten years and we're grateful for his contribution during his two and a half years in Newcastle," McKinna said.
"However, results and performances haven't been good enough this season and a change was needed.
"On behalf of everyone at the Club, I wish Ernie all the best in his future endeavours," he said.
After resigning as Wellington Phoenix coach in December 2016, Merrick joined Newcastle in May of 2017 to replace the sacked Mark Jones. In one of the more stunning turnarounds in A-League history, the Jets rebounded from a horror five-win, last-place campaign to finish second on the ladder with 15 wins.
While Newcastle were able to come from behind to defeat Melbourne City 2-1 in the semi-finals, they suffered a controversial 1-0 defeat to Melbourne Victory in the final after a clearly offside goal was allowed to stand due to the VAR system failing.
Despite hopes they'd go one better, the 2018-19 season was one to forget. Just three wins from their first 14 matches put them too far out of the finals race and, while they finished strongly with seven wins and two draws afterwards, they finished seventh.
This season has gone from bad to worse, with the club currently anchored to the bottom of the ladder. The last five weeks have been particularly horrid, with the Jets picking up four losses and a draw and the last three of those losses all being by four goals.

Read which methods are available to measure influences on the expression of a specific gene.
Molecular biology
Molecular biology deals with biomolecules, their structure, function, and interactions. Since the discovery and description of DNA in the 1950s, we came to understand how DNA gets first transcribed into RNA and then translated into proteins. We further understand that the genome is not the only basis for a cell's behavior, differentiation, and pathology. Epigenetic regulation, transcription regulation and non-coding RNAs are just as important.
Today, microplate reader assays are well-established tools to answer the questions that are still open. Luminescent reporter assays study gene regulation, interaction assays examine binding of nucleic acids to proteins and enzyme activity assays report on activities of polymerases or helicases.
In addition to answering molecular biology questions, the reader also takes measurements in preparation for PCRs and sequencing. It quantifies nucleic acids in high throughput (96-1536 wells) and determines their purity via absorbance spectra.
BMG LABTECH microplate readers offer solutions from simple quantification devices with high-throughput and automation capabilities, up to multi-functional devices suitable for all needs: reporter assays, binding assays, enzyme assays, no matter which detection mode.
Search our Resources section for information about specific applications, literature citations, videos, blog articles and many other publications. Many of the resources provided are associated with current and previous instrument models and versions.

India has been one of the fastest growing smartphone markets in the world. This fact, plus some incentives provided by the Indian government, have managed not only to pull in various smartphone manufacturing companies to sell their smartphones in the country, but also manufacture them there. The 'Make in India' program has proven to be quite successful thus far, and the latest Counterpoint Research confirms that, read on.
According to Counterpoint Research, smartphone shipments in India grew by 23.3%, and have managed to cross the 100 million mark last year. 81.1 million smartphones were sold in India a year before, so this is quite an improvement. "India has inched past the US to become the second largest smartphone market in terms of active unique smartphone user base in the world with the base crossing 220 million users. This speaks volume for the scale India market provides for any player in the mobile connected ecosystem," said Tarun Pathak, a Senior Analyst at Counterpoint Research.
Now, this is quite an improvement for India, but there's still plenty of potential in the country. The smartphone penetration of the total potential population is still well under 30%, which means this year will quite probably be even more successful. More and more companies push their products to India, and with good reason. "The Indian smartphone demand grew strongly during the holiday season in the Q4 2015 quarter. However, the consumer demand waned since mid-November leading to smartphone shipments decline 11 percent sequentially," said Pavel Naiya, a Research Analyst at Counterpoint.
Smartphone shipments grew quite a bit in India, but so did LTE smartphone shipments, if we look at them separately. In Q4 2015, over 40% of smartphones shipped in India were smartphones, and almost half of those were manufactured in India, which only proves how successful is that project. Now, as far as market share goes, Samsung is still in the lead, the Korea-based tech giant holds 28.6% of the market. Samsung is followed by Micromax, an India-based company which is trailing behind Samsung, and currently holds 14.3% of the market. These two companies are followed by Lenovo, Intex and Lava which hold 11.4%, 9.6%, and 6.8% of the market, respectively. Now, keep in mind that we're talking about smartphones here, not all phones in general, though Samsung is no. 1 in the other sector as well, and holds 23.6% of the market (if we look at both feature phones and smartphones).

Transitional Justice Alternatives: "We should all stay under the rule of law"
Nearly all respondents on both sides agreed that the rule of law and the justice system were the best mechanisms for bringing accountability and stability to Syria. Indeed, of the three options for justice presented during these interviews (trials, truth commissions, and compensation), trials were by far the most popular approach. The notion that "whoever governs Syria will need to establish rule of law" was the most popular idea discussed, with most respondents agreeing with it, many strongly. However, there were predictable divisions over whether the existing Syrian courts should preside over trials, and a more general hostility to an international component in transitional courts.
Compensation also was a popular mechanism for bringing justice to victims of the conflict. Many participants acknowledged that while some losses cannot be compensated, compensation is a good way to help people start to rebuild their lives. This, combined with court trials, was most respondents' preferred approach to justice.
Most respondents were not familiar with truth commissions, though they were generally receptive to the concept after an explanation. However, the concept of amnesty in exchange for admissions of guilt was difficult for nearly all to accept. They did, however, respond positively to the idea of compensation and evidence collection aspects of the commission. Most, however, found it difficult to imagine a scenario in which a truth commission would be the only possible avenue of justice — where trials would not be part of a settlement process.
Rule of Law Above All Else
Respondents broadly embraced the idea that a justice system that treats everyone the same and with laws that apply equally to everyone is the best way to deal with the crimes of the war. Some respondents said such a system will be critical for allowing Syria to move forward, post conflict, and prevent crimes from recurring.
Syria needs laws that are applied to everyone, especially war criminals, because the country is in a mess today and it cannot move forward. When people know there is a fair law to judge them, they will not do criminal or destructive acts.
— Sunni man (anti-regime), 38, Aleppo
The guilty should be held accountable to make sure crimes and violations will not be repeated. We should all stay under the rule of law.
— Sunni man (anti-regime), 32, al-Qamishli
I believe those who committed war crimes and human rights violations should be prosecuted. The best alternative is establishing the rule of law and state of citizens, and prosecuting criminals.
— Christian man (pro-regime), 42, Homs
The guilty should be held accountable to make sure these crimes will not be repeated, that is all to get Syria back on the forefront among the nations and lay down the rule of law of course.
— Christian man (pro-regime), 46, Damascus
There was some division between anti-regime respondents, who believed Syria's courts do not offer the rule of law now, and many regime supporters, who thought it already exists.
For decades we have suffered from the Syrian courts and their systems established by the perished father and followed by his bloodthirsty son because of their injustice, tyranny, and bias. We thus do not trust such systems.
— Sunni man (anti-regime), 30, Hamah
Syria does not need to establish the rule of law. Syria is capable of prosecuting criminals, and those who destroyed it should all be punished.
— Alawite woman (pro-regime), 43, Tartous
Strong Support for Prosecutions of Abusers
One of the most noteworthy findings of the research was the widespread support, on both sides of the political divide, for prosecuting in court those who abused human rights and committed war crimes during the conflict, whatever side they were on.
[For] any of the sides, whoever committed a crime should be held accountable. It should be through the judiciary. Anyone who committed a crime or knows they are guilty in this revolution should be held accountable through the judiciary. Everyone is supposed to be held accountable for what they did — there are rebels who should be held accountable, as well as regime figures and civilians.
— Sunni man (anti-regime), 50, refugee, Jordan
Anybody who committed war crimes during this conflict from any party should be prosecuted.
— Christian woman (pro-regime), 45, Damascus
Little Agreement Over Who Should Conduct Trials
As supportive as most respondents were regarding court trials, there was little consensus on who should conduct them. Most respondents — including regime supporters and many opponents — were adamant that post-conflict trials be conducted by Syrian courts and Syrian judges. They regarded international involvement in transitional courts as unwanted foreign meddling in Syrian affairs.
I am with the idea of judging those who committed crimes and destruction, but in Syrian courts and on Syrian land with no Western intervention, because only in this way is justice fulfilled.
— Sunni man (pro-regime), 27, Aleppo
We did not start the revolution to keep the judiciary of Hafez al-Assad, nor to bring a Western one. The revolution was to have free independent Syrian law.
— Sunni man (anti-regime), 28, Aleppo
However, some regime supporters specified that by "Syrian courts" they mean the current court system.
[The Syrian court system] is a proven system. It has always been worthy, responsible, professional, and fair.
— Alawite man (pro-regime), 25, Damascus
Others — primarily anti-regime respondents — argued that the current Syrian system is too corrupt to be entrusted with securing justice. Nevertheless, they expect Syrians to control it:
There will be a judiciary, a new regime, and a respected judiciary that will be neutral and we will not need help from another country, of course.
— Sunni man (anti-regime), 38, Damascus
A few say international courts or neutral countries should take charge. "I don't think there will be a power in the near future that can control the country and people. There should be international parties who would bring those guilty people [to trial] and judge them fairly," said a Sunni man in Damascus. One IDP in Raqqah acknowledged the unpopularity of his view that international courts should be involved:. "If I said international courts you would say that I am a traitor." But he stuck to it.
A few advocated a hybrid approach with both Syrian and international involvement. "I prefer Syrians because they know their country. But it's ok to have some well-known international persons because it is too difficult to find a trusted person as this country is full of corruption," said a Sunni woman IDP in Damascus.
Compensation a Popular Response to Loss
Compensation for losses suffered in the conflict was a universally popular approach on both sides. For many respondents, this, along with court trials, would be a step towards bringing justice to Syrians who have suffered in the war, even if only a partial one. Regime opponents and supporters tended to agree on this, though they differ somewhat on who deserves compensation.
Of course there should be compensations to victims; anyone who abused others should be held accountable and the ones who got abused should be compensated.
— Sunni man (anti-regime), 40, Hama
Compensation is a good idea, and it will achieve justice fairly.
— Alawite man (pro-regime), 25, Damascus
Many respondents said those who had lost breadwinners, homes, or jobs should receive priority for compensation. Some suggested that employers who lost shops or factories also should have priority, to help rebuild the economy. Redressing economic losses was implicitly the purpose of compensation.
The most important ones to be compensated should be the orphans, families [where] the breadwinner has been killed and left a wife and children.
— Sunni man (anti-regime), 25, refugee in Turkey
If there are priorities, I wish those with the limited income whose only supporter is God be compensated first, and [also] there are people who had workshops that were damaged or lost them.
— Sunni woman (pro-regime), 58, Damascus
This category of people should be compensated: [those] who lost their houses, commercial shops, companies, and factories because of these battles, as these people are the ones who support the country's economy.
— Sunni man (pro-regime), 45, Raqqah
However, regime supporters strongly opposed compensating those who were involved in the fighting on the anti-government side, particularly those affiliated with Jabhat al-Nusra and foreign fighters:
Those who were the cause of chaos and supported terrorists such as Jabhat al-Nusra, foreigners and those who supported them shouldn't be compensated.
— Sunni man (pro-regime), 32, Hama
Remarkably, quite a few respondents, even refugees and IDPs, believed that others were far more deserving of compensation than they. "I cannot say that I do not deserve it because I have suffered from damages, but there are many affected and damaged people. They shall be considered, so compensation should be distributed fairly," said a Sunni woman IDP in Damascus.
The sense that some losses — such as sons or husbands — cannot be compensated produces a deep sense of bitterness among some respondents. While economic damages can be compensated, money is not a replacement for the loss of loved ones. This was why respondents said accountability must accompany compensation. As an anti-regime Sunni woman, 37, in Qamishli put it, "Blood is not so cheap to be sold for some money! Compensation is necessary but the court and penalty are more important than all the world's treasure. Syrian blood and souls are so expensive."
Truth Commissions Little Known But Favourably Received
The idea of a non-judicial truth commission as a form of transitional justice was novel but attractive to most respondents. Very few had heard of truth commissions, though a few Christian respondents were familiar with the concept, and the interviewees had neither thought about nor previously discussed this possibility. Most on both sides of the conflict considered the pros and cons carefully and were receptive, particularly to the evidence gathering and compensation components.
When all the facts are clarified it will solidify our faith in the country. And enhance the harmony of the Syrians, especially when it is clearer that some of what happened was caused by outside interference in Syria.
— Sunni man (pro-regime), 33, Aleppo
Having a truth commission would restore the rights that were extorted, and the compensations would help those who lost to move on with their lives and live with dignity.
— Sunni man (anti-regime), 30, Hamah
A few respondents confused truth commissions with prior discredited commissions:
If you want to bury something, form a commission around it. Bashar knows this game very well. Whatever happens, they form a commission for it: the Reconciliation Commission and the Daraa Events Investigation Commission.
— Sunni man (anti-regime), 47, IDP in Raqqah
No, because it's not credible. Every two days they have a commission and eventually they will deny it, ignore its reports, and forge whatever they want.
— Sunni man (pro-regime), 32, Hama
A few questioned a truth commission's value if "everyone already knows" who is responsible for crimes, with much of it documented on mobile phones or committed in small, tight-knit communities. "In Syria there are a lot of people who have mobile phones and they have photographed everything. The names of people are known. Even the little kid knows who killed and stole, so I don't think we need that," said a Sunni man in Damascus
Amnesty for Truth Difficult to Accept
Offering amnesty in return for confessions of wrongdoing, as South Africa did with its Truth and Reconciliation Commission, was very difficult for most respondents to accept, whether pro- or anti-regime. They cannot imagine a scenario in which the guilty are not held to account. Many rejected outright a truth commission that would provide amnesty in exchange for admission of guilt.
And you are telling me it's a truth commission! Just because they confessed they are set free? How do you expect me to trust such a commission with a black history of releasing the unjust who destroyed the country just because they confessed with their crimes? This is totally unacceptable!
— Sunni man (pro-regime), 38, Raqqah
You mean that those who confess will be released? This looks like it is to allow Bashar and his cronies to depart. Actually I do not agree. I do not accept that a confession is enough for those who killed hundreds of people. I insist that they must punished.
— Sunni woman (anti-regime), 28, IDP in Damascus
Compensation Function Builds Truth Commission Support
Including the provision of compensation as part of the role of a truth commission is likely to increase its support, judging by the reactions of participants in the study. As noted above, compensation is seen as offering partial justice and easing suffering, so affording it to victims via a truth commission which recognizes their suffering is an important positive.
It [compensation] won't grant them complete justice but something is better than nothing. In time, they may forgive and clear their hearts,, but regarding justice, they didn't get it.
— Sunni man (anti-regime), 34, Damascus
Excellent. It [compensation] eases the pain. However, it lets the offenders get away.
— Sunni man (anti-regime), 47, IDP in Raqqah
However, the notion that a truth commission might offer a form of justice if trials prove impossible after a negotiated settlement was difficult for respondents to consider at this stage. Given their strong support for trials and the complete lack of substance regarding the terms of a possible settlement, respondents were not able even to consider the possibility that trials may not occur. Another finding in this research is the broad agreement among Syrians in the opposing camps of the need for the rule of law in their country after the war and their support for the prosecution of those who committed abuses, whatever their side. Of course, beneath this there is division over the legitimacy of the existing judicial system, but there is also a striking desire for a Syrian justice process and substantial rejection of external involvement in transitional courts on both sides. Compensation of victims also elicits a large consensus of support and sympathy on both sides, albeit one qualified by political differences. Truth commissions, too, though unfamiliar, are attractive because they offer the possibilities of impartial fact-finding and the dispensation of compensation. (The strong demand for accountability and punishment, however, would militate against the idea of offering amnesty in exchange for confessions to a truth commission.)
What all this underlines is that despite the intensity and brutality of the conflict, people on both sides see themselves as part of the same national community and are thinking in terms of the same moral universe.

The University of Glasgow is a public research university in Glasgow, Scotland. It is one of Scotland's four ancient universities, and it is the fourth oldest university in the English speaking world. It is a member of the Russell Group and Universitas 21.
The university was founded in 1451 when Pope Nicholas V gave permission for a university to be added to Glasgow Cathedral; teaching began in the cathedral chapterhouse. It was granted land by Mary, Queen of Scots, and began its expansion through the city and beyond. Its main campus – the Gilmorehill campus – is based in Hillhead, and other campuses include the Crichton in Dumfries.
The University of Glasgow began preparing students for careers in law, medicine, teaching, the church and the civil service before branching out into teaching science and engineering. Today, it has four colleges: the Colleges of Arts, Veterinary and Life Sciences, Science and Engineering, and Social Sciences.
The university played major roles during the Scottish Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution; James Watt developed his steam engine technology at the university. In October 2014, it became the first university in Europe to divest from fossil fuels.
Facilities and attractions include the Macfarlane Observatory, the Lion and Unicorn staircase, and the oldest museum in Scotland: the Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery.
Its alumni and former faculty members include Adam Smith, James Watt, Jocelyn Bell Burnell, Lord Kelvin, Joseph Lister and two British prime ministers.

Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG- pronounced as "cabbage") surgery is the most common type of heart surgery, according to the American Heart Association. Coronary artery bypass graft surgeries are recommended to patients who are at risk of a heart attack (also known as myocardial
infarction), due to significant narrowing or blockages of the heart vessels. These narrowing or blockages of the heart blood vessels, also known as coronary artery disease, can cause a lack of blood flow to the heart muscle. When the narrowing of the blood vessel is more than 50 to 70 percent, there is not
enough blood flow to the heart during exercise/activity. Blood carries oxygen throughout our body, including our heart, and when our heart is starved of this oxygen-rich blood (ischemia) it can cause chest pain (also referred to as angina pectoris), which can then lead to a heart attack. Coronary artery bypass
graft surgery reestablishes sufficient blood flow to deliver oxygen-rich blood and nutrients to the heart, by taking a healthy blood vessel from another part of the body (called a graft) and bypassing the blocked artery to create a new path for blood flow.
Diagnostic tests for coronary artery disease
Benefits of coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG)
Coronary artery bypass surgery will improve blood flow to the heart. CABG surgery will relieve chest pain, fatigue, and other symptoms of coronary artery disease. The grafting procedure that surgeons perform results in an increase in blood flow, decreasing the
probability of a heart attack. The procedure can also enable a patient to manage risk factors of their coronary artery disease and prevent future blockages.
Possible surgical complications
There may be other risks depending on your specific medical condition. Be sure to discuss any concerns with your doctor before the procedure.
Preparing for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG)surgery
The surgeons who will perform your procedure will give you detailed instructions on how to prepare for your surgery. Here are some basic guidelines:
The day of your coronary artery bypass graft (CABG)
Once at the facility, a nurse will start an IV line in your arm or your hand which will provide access for fluids and medications required during the heart surgery. If needed, hair will be removed from your chest and any other incision sites for a sterile field.
Anesthesia will be given before the surgery starts and this will keep you free from any pain during the procedure. Anesthesia will put you into a deep sleep state, and a tube will be placed in your mouth down your throat to take over your breathing during the surgery.
How a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is performed
The blood vessels most commonly used for the bypass are the saphenous vein from the leg and the internal mammary artery located on the left side of the chest wall. Another option is the radial arterylocated in the arm.
The cardiac surgeon makes an incision down the middle of the chest and divides the sternum (breastbone). This procedure is called a median (middle) sternotomy.
A heart-lung machine (Cardiopulmonary bypass) must be established before attaching the grafted artery can take place. Plastic tubes are placed into the right side of the heart to channel non-oxygenated blood out of the body and into the heart-lung machine. Once the carbon dioxide is extracted from the blood and
the blood is oxygenated, it can be returned to the body throughout the surgery.
"Off-pump CABG" is a coronary artery bypass graft surgery performed without the use of a heart-lung machine. Once your doctor has opened the chest, he or she will stabilize the area around the artery to be bypassed with a special instrument. The rest of the heart will continue to function and pump blood
through the body. The heart-lung bypass machine and the person who runs it may be kept on stand-by just in case the procedure needs to be completed on bypass.
The grafting portion of the surgery can now begin by attaching a grafted blood vessel beginning at the aorta to beyond the narrowing or blockage, also known as an aortocoronary bypass. Once the graft is prepared it will be sewn into place. You may have heard the words single bypass, double
bypass, triple bypass or quadruple bypass surgeries. These refer to the number of arteries that are bypassed, and it does not necessarily indicate how severe the heart disease is. Once the graft has been attached, blood will start flowing in this new pathway, bypassing the blockage.

Managing Pain
Going Home
The cardiac surgeon and nurse navigator will prepare you for the next steps upon discharge from the hospital. New medications and adjustments will be discussed, and directions will be given on how and when to take them. Daily activities like driving, sexual activity,
and work will all be discussed, but it typically takes several weeks before patients are able to resume these activities. If needed, arrangements can be made for those who need to be at a skilled nursing facility to help them recover.
Cardiac Rehabilitation
Cardiac rehab can take place in the hospital, clinic, or doctor's office. A team of specialists (doctors, nurses, exercise specialists, dietitians, and counselors) will work with you to educate and instruct you about life after heart surgery. You will learn safe
ways to strengthen your heart through exercise and the best ways to shop and eat for a healthy heart. The cardiac rehabilitation team will help you manage risk factors for coronary artery disease which includes high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and smoking. Counseling is also available to help
you deal with the emotional aspects of open heart surgery. Your family is encouraged to be involved so they can be educated as well.

Trump's Current Hard Astrological TransitsFebruary 13, 2017
Not looking good right now for the Trump team folks.
Moon Square Midheaven
A frustrating time both at home and at work. A tendency to make poor choices and decisions regarding both. Tensions are high, so perhaps just relaxing and waiting this one out might be in order.
Sun Opposition Venus
You may come face-to-face today with someone who has very different values than you do. You could find yourself cast in an opposing position, and this might require compromise and understanding on your part. You may not appreciate authority now.
Sun Opposition Saturn
Obstacles to self-discipline or to your sense of organization may appear. You could be frustrated by someone in this regard, or external events might pile up and be thrust upon you. Authorities and red tape may stand between you and your goals.
Sun Opposition Pluto
Your own inner need for change and growth may be threatened by someone older or by circumstances. There could be some underhanded or devious goings-on behind the scenes as well. Tension of a psychological or political nature may be present.
Mercury Opposition Mercury
You could blurt out the wrong thing today or be unable to convey what you really intend to someone. Ideas and thoughts may not come with ease. Also, others may disagree with your ideas.
Mercury Square Jupiter
You could find yourself mentally acute and in a problem-solving mood. However, there is a real possibility that the decisions you make today and the solutions you find may have to be re-done tomorrow.
Venus Square Moon
You may not appreciate your surroundings, or someone younger than you does not measure up. Your values may be at odds (just for the moment) with those around you.
Venus Square Uranus
You may not value something extraordinary or unusual. Instead, you find yourself appreciating what is quite normal or ordinary.
Mars Square Moon
Emotional flare-ups, especially with younger people or those you spend time with are ,possible right now. You could push too hard and damage your living situation or means of support.
Mars Square Sun
Emotions may flare up or arguments occur that work against your own best interests. Be prepared, and walk softly.
Mars Square Uranus
Don't take chances or risks just now. Be satisfied with the ordinary and usual. Novel ideas or insights could be more damaging than useful. Hectic emotional energy.
Jupiter Square Moon
Your career and life direction are putting some real pressure on your home and emotional life. Obviously you can't live without both, so some kind of self-control on your part is indicated. You may have trouble with subordinates or younger people.
Jupiter Square Sun
You may be experiencing a bit of a crunch as your career direction (and path to success) squares off against your more personal interests. This may be a real test for you. Be careful not to blow an opportunity for success.
Saturn Square Mars
Not an easy period for most of us. Events conspire to work against our own ambition and drive, bringing obstacles and slowing progress to a halt. Easy to overdo, strain, and explode under these aspects, so take it easy. Bide your time.
Saturn Opposition Midheaven
A new start. Several years of self-examination and inner learning are coming to an end. Now you begin to feel a growing confidence in everything you do. You have found yourself in one sense or another and are on the move toward building a real future.
Saturn Square Ascendant
A time when you may feel your style is severely cramped, particularly concerning relationships and your own basic worth and self-image. It may be hard to convey yourself and to communicate with others. A lot is happening!
Uranus Square Moon
An urge to change and try new things may challenge and upset your domestic scene or support system. In this case, your tendency to rebel acts at cross-purposes to those who care for you. A no-win situation that requires treading a fine line on your part.
Uranus Square Sun
You may have to control an urge to rebel and be different that could set your ambitions and goals back a step. An inner struggle between your sense of purpose or direction and a need for independence and freedom makes this a possibly tense time.
Neptune Opposition Pluto
Your dreams and ideals may conspire to ignore and push aside the need in you for real inner growth and transformation. If you get too carried away or lost in the dream world, you can expect to be hauled back by some very personal inner confrontations.
Pluto Opposition Sun
Power struggles, with authorities in particular, can be one sign of this aspect. Your need for constant inner change and growth may end up setting you back as much as it helps. Your ambitions and basic life direction could be challenged.
Pluto Opposition Uranus
A time of legitimate tension when your need for security and privacy is challenged by all that is rebellious and unconventional within you. A need for deep self-examination cuts into any sense of freedom and independence you may have.

Cock craving coed Jessi can't keep her hands off of her ballet partner Nick Ross, not that he minds! When Jessi peels her leotard down to bare her small tits and then drops to her knees, Nick eagerly whips out his dick for her enjoyment. Reaching out, she takes it into her hands and then wraps her soft lips around the head to suck him off. Nick returns the favor by getting Jessi out of her remaining clothes and then latching on to her soft bald fuck hole with his mouth to eat her out. Replacing his mouth with his fingers, Nick leans Jessi forward over her ballet barre to slide his fingers deep into her needy twat, followed by his hot hard fuck stick. It's not long before Jessi is eagerly bouncing away on Nick's cock and riding him like her personal steed. Laying on her side, Jessi lifts one leg to give Nick all the spooning access he needs to take her juicy snatch hard and fast. He brings her to a swift climax, and moments later Jessi returns the favor. When Nick is on the edge of cumming, Jessi helps him pull out and then strokes him off until he explodes all over her flat belly to cover her in jizz.

text: We traveled to Millheim, over the mountain in Penns Valley, yesterday evening for dinner; if you're ever there we can recommend the Elk Creek Cafe and Aleworks. The subject of this post however is not Pennsylvania fine dining, it is the mural painted on the east wall of the cafe. We had been here to dine once before and I remembered the mural for its bright colors. I recalled neither its clever design nor its sentiment. Before entering the restaurant I crossed the street, zoomed my camera all-the-way-out and cursed those who had constructed the buildings on either side for placing them so close together. I could not get as far from the mural as I would have liked. Anyway I took a few photos, crossed back over the street, and then proceeded to dinner. It wasn't until the drive back home, as Joanna and I talked about the mural, that it struck us that it had been designed as a quilt. It wasn't until I had inserted an image of the mural into this post that the accompanying sentiment finally made its way into my consciousness. Pride in the past, Love of Place, and Hope for the Future. I had already known two of its three parts. Pride in the Past is invariably presented in just that way. The usual form of Hope for the Future is Faith in the Future. [Aren't words, and the ways in which we use them, interesting? For those of you who are fans of Lord Peter Wimsey, you may recall a scene from Murder must Advertise in which Lord Peter points out, while working at Pym's Publicity, the difference (and implication for legal liability) between the phrases 'made from pears,' and 'made with pears.' The difference being that the former promises perry made mostly, if not entirely, from pears, while the latter promises something more modest in its use of the fruit in question.] I hope the followers of this Pairodox blog will not take offense when I point out that the words Faith in read as a statement of religious faith. It is therefore interesting that the two-thirds-version of the sentiment (first and third phrases) is commonly associated with small town chambers of commerce, historical societies, and churches. I appreciate the change which results in Hope for the future rather than having Faith in it – to me the former suggests more active participation in making the future what it can and will be, while the latter suggests that we sit passively and watch some prescribed plan unfold and reveal itself. Furthermore I enjoy the second, and novel, part of the complete statement because it admits an appreciation for and commitment to what we have … Love of Place. These three phrases express gratitude for the past, appreciation for the present, and hope for what is yet to come. What better views (of past, present, and future) can any community ask for? Well done Millheim, Pennsylvania! [After completing this post I discovered that local artist Elody Gyekis was the creator and motivating force behind this Valley Roots Community Mural.]

Lil Herb first stepped onto both the Chicago and national scenes late last year with local collaborator Lil Bibby. The pair gained recognition upon dropping Heir Apparents last year and have been branching off individually as of late. Today we have the latest from Lil Herb, with the third installment of his "4 Minutes of Hell" video series, directed by Zae, that essentially features the young artist rapping his ass off for, you guessed it, four minutes. The series is a precursor to Herb's upcoming solo project, Welcome to Fazoland, which is expected soon, on the heel's of Bibby's well-received Free Crack. Herb is proving himself as a true rhymesayer with a penchant for crafty wordplay and blistering rhyme schemes. Keep an eye out from more coming from Lil Herb via RH.

Originating from the breeding work of Mike Casler at the University of Wisconsin, Spring Green first came to the market around 1999. Selections of grazed plants in Wisconsin pastures were made specifically for improved cold tolerance and drought survivability.
Spring Green has better-than-average winter hardiness, is a consistent high yielder, and usually has a 2-3 year life span. It is best adapted to regions where that experience period of cool temperatures and humidity during the year. Due to its deep and robust root system, Spring Green can tolerate a wide range of climatic stresses after establishment including heat, drought and cold. Spring Green has a wide geographic adaptation, stretching from Southern Canada to the Northern half of the transition zone.
Strength Of The Parents
Spring Green is a cross between fescue and tetraploid ryegrass, capitalizing on the strengths of each, including:
- Quick germination and fast establishment.
- High palatability and easily digestible.
- Relative feed value similar to tetraploid ryegrass.
- Better summer grazing over ryegrass, especially under higher temperatures.
- Deeper rooted than ryegrass.
Widely Tested
Spring Green is the standard check variety in many trials. These locations include:
- University of Wisconsin
- Cornell University
- University of Kentucky
- Michigan State University
- Ohio State University
- Penn State University
- University of Tennessee
- University of Illinois
Spring Green can be grazed, hayed or green chopped. It mixes well with other grasses and legumes and can be fed to all livestock categories. Spring Green is fast establishing, and early maturing capable of production 5-9 tons of DM/acre. Spring Green has been evaluated at numerous university sites throughout the years providing ample comparison data.

From the day after Thanksgiving to the day the snow melts, one thing marks evenings in Ellicottville. Our village is lit from tree to tree on Washington and Monroe Streets. The lights are a celebration of who we are, our Norman Rockwell-like village and a way to welcome our visitors.
The Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce would like to extend a large thank you to those that have helped make the lights a reality. We could not do this without the support of each and every one. The following have donated funds to help us light up the village and to maintain what we have: American DND, Gin Mill, Holiday Valley, HoliMont, Dina's, Purple Doorknob, Villaggio, Glen Burn Trail, and ERA Vacation Properties. When you stop in or talk to anyone that works for these places, tell them how much you appreciate what they do to help make Ellicottville a great place.
The Chamber is still accepting contributions to help us maintain the lights. Simply stop in at the Chamber at 9 W. Washington St., email firstname.lastname@example.com or call the office at (716)699-5046 for more info on how to do so.
