Slovak courts violated a publisher's right to freedom of expression and information when they ordered a correction and compensation to be paid, the European Court of Human Rights ruled, according to the International Press Institute (IPI). On July 26, a seven-judge panel unanimously overruled a decision against Bratislava-based multimedia publishing company, Ringier Axel Springer Slovakia, citing a failure to examine whether the stories were written in good faith and in accordance with journalistic ethics.
The reports depicted a high-ranking police official's alleged drunken public behaviour. Former Police Vice-President Jozef Petráš sued the publisher's predecessor for libel over a series of reports in the print and online editions of the Slovak tabloid Nový čas describing a 1999 incident at a restaurant involving Petráš and Ján Slota, MP and Žilina Mayor at that time as well as the chair of the Slovak National Party. Tipped off, the newspaper reporter observed the two men for about 10 minutes before they left. He had interviews with witnesses who claimed Slota was extremely drunk and urinated off the restaurant's terrace with Petráš's assistance.
A Slovak court found that the publisher had not shown that the information in the reports was truthful. In a decision upheld on appeal, the Slovak court noted that the reporter had not actually seen Slota urinating and it ruled that the public official's interest in having his private life respected prevailed over the public's interest in the incident. The court then granted Petráš's request for a correction and apology and awarded compensation of €23,000, although the amount was later halved on appeal.
The court in Strasbourg concluded that the national court's decision violated Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights and faulted a failure to assess the level of public interest in the articles or to balance it against the individual interests, the International Press Institute (IPI) informed The Slovak Spectator.
The Strasbourg judges opined that although Slovak courts (the lower-instance court as well as the appellate court) had made reference to the journalist's good faith and the presence of a public interest, they failed to take evidence or to make an analysis, or draw specific conclusions from these.

After muted gains in the second half in 2012, log prices in the Pacific Northwest are climbing back to pre-recession levels. Forest2Market projects that they will gain additional ground in 1Q2013, the result of the ongoing recovery taking place in both domestic and export markets.
"Asian appetite for Northwest forest products strengthened in the second half of 2012 and looks strong moving into the New Year," says Gordon Culbertson, Manager of Forest2Market's Pacific Northwest business. "Inventories of imported logs and lumber products in China have declined by nearly 50% from a year ago, while the Chinese Government has renewed efforts to stimulate affordable housing construction. Russia's market share, traditionally the largest supplier of Chinese logs and lumber, has continued to erode, leaving Chinese buyers to fill the shortage with deliveries from North America and New Zealand."
According to Forest2Market's Delivered Price Database, prices for logs delivered to Northwest seaports for export loading to Asia revived as 2012 progressed, with Douglas fir prices gaining back $72 per MBF of the $78 per MBF they lost in the first half of the year and Hem-fir hitting a 2012 peak in November at $558 per MBF. Strong demand from China, especially for hem-fir logs, and Japan's renewed interest in higher quality second growth Douglas fir logs will bolster prices going forward.

A much-improved Ireland made New Zealand work for the full 80 minutes to claim a harder earned victory than the score might suggest but the fact remains that without ever hitting the heights the All Blacks won this bristling contest by a clear 20 points.
New Zealand had much to celebrate afterwards. This victory was Graham Henry's 100th victory in all Test matches, while Richie McCaw and Mils Muliaina will be pleased to mark their record-breaking 93 All Black Test appearances with a win. Dan Carter, however, must wait another week to score the extra three points he needs to break Jonny Wilkinson's world record of 1,178 in Tests.
At one point just after the hour, when New Zealand were awarded a penalty just to the left of the posts, Carter stepped forward expectantly to claim the three points he needed but his skipper, McCaw, unaware of the imminent record, opted to tighten the screw with another scrum. It was the correct tactical call so the new record will presumably come at the Millennium Stadium against Wales next Saturday. There are worse places to make history.
"That was a highly competitive Test match with both sides playing really well," said Henry. "The Irish put us under a lot of pressure and I was very pleased with how our guys came through. We scored some important tries at important times."
With a near full-house in attendance, the new Aviva Stadium finally came alive and Ireland gave as good as they got throughout the first half, never allowing the All Blacks to secure a platform.
Carter opened up with three penalties but Johnny Sexton replied with two beautifully struck long-range efforts before Ireland, having pressed hard for a while, finally unpicked the All Blacks defence, enabling Stephen Ferris to crash over for his first international try courtesy of a well-timed flat pass from Jamie Heaslip.
With Sexton converting, Ireland had a rare opportunity to take charge of an All-Blacks Test but New Zealand instantly recognised the danger and hit back with another Carter penalty and a well-taken Anthony Boric try on the stroke of half-time.
New Zealand kept the momentum going after the break and tries in quick succession from Keiran Read and replacement Sam Whitelock seemed to herald a possible rout but Ireland were having none of it. A long break by Heaslip lifted their spirits and they then stormed back with a brilliantly taken try from captain Brian O'Driscoll, producing his best form of the season although worryingly he picked up a shoulder injury in the process.
Ireland went close again when Keith Earls thought he had scored in the corner although the video referee clearly showed that Cory Jane's tackle had just nudged him into touch.
It was a rousing effort by the Irish and gave us a taste of how noisy the Aviva might become if Ireland can start winning big games again but New Zealand sensed a fourth try and it duly arrived when the impressive Read went over for his second. Carter missed the conversion to tie Wilkinson's record.
"The overall feeling is we played for 67-68 minutes but in the remaining 13 minutes we got punished and we were chasing for ever after that," said O'Driscoll before going to hospital for a scan. "We played some great rugby outside of that and there are some great positives."

Painting Contractors Services in Harold's Cross
Are you considering giving your home or business a new look? Do you need to repaint after a tenant has vacated your own property? Do you need to repair water stains on ceilings and walls or over walls in which mould was eliminated? It may be tempting to do the task yourself, which can result in cost savings. But, there are lots of reasons you should consider hiring a professional painter and decorator support.
Costs of Equipment
Hiring a professional painter and decorator means that the painter comes will all the tools that they will need to perform the job correctly, will wash those tools up when they are done and will require them away to be saved elsewhere.
Protection of Your Premises and Avoiding a Mess
A professional painter and decorator will have the right equipment and be knowledgeable and knowledgeable about the way to protect furniture, floors, cabinets, walkways and other items which you don't need painted from any harm. If your work entails staining, a professional will have the correct equipment and expertise to use the stain properly to attain the perfect finish and once attained, shield that finish.
A professional painter will even completely clean up the work area once the job is completed.
Preparation is Key
An expert painter and painter is going to learn that preparation is the trick to a good looking, long lasting paint job. The walls or other surfaces that have to be painted might need to be thoroughly cleaned, patched, degreased and/or primed. Areas with water or mold staining may require additional therapy and diluting until they are prepared for a last paint job. It is a good deal of work and if it's not done correctly with proper tools and techniques, it will not result in a quality finish.
Skills and Patience
Painting takes patience to generate a gorgeous quality finish and in addition, it takes skill that is developed with training and experience. An expert will learn how to complete each of the preparation and painting jobs involved to achieve the best effect.
A professional painter may also understand the materials that are required to do the job right. Which primer will provide the correct coverage? Oil or latex? Matte, semi-gloss, high gloss? Which primer foundation is demanded? What paint foundation? Roller or spray?
A professional painter will have the ability to recommend materials that are best to get the look you want, while avoiding any harm to your surfaces. With that advice, you can achieve a higher quality finish that will endure.
For exterior jobs, a specialist will know the right weather, temperature and sun conditions to finish the job with all the best outcomes. Stains respond differently in direct sunshine than when it's overcast, and at several temperatures. While rain obviously affects the job, heat and humidity may also affect the quality of outside paint finishes. A local professional painter will understand the right stuff to use to make your exterior last as long as you can in Dublin's climate.
Climbing on ladders while attempting to apply paint properly is a skilled job that takes careful attention and focus to prevent severe injury and damage. The higher the site that requires painting, the greater the danger of an crash. For inside projects with large areas or outside jobs, an expert painter may have all the resources and experience required to perform the work correctly and safely, including the right size and design of the ladder and scaffolding.
Your time is valuable and painting yourself requires a substantial amount of time. Having a professional painter and decorator take care of the job for you can save you days and days of effort, and can usually be done in a much shorter period of time.
A study from Trinity College Dublin indicates the average Irish person needs 28 hours daily to accomplish all of his or her tasks. Prevent including a paint job into this and speak to a professional painter about your requirements.

E-waste banned from kerbside collections from July 1
June 18, 2019
Residents across Victoria will no longer be able to place E-waste in their kerbside collection bins from July 1 and Colac Otway Shire Council is urging the community to learn more about E-waste recycling.
Council has been encouraging people to recycle small E-waste items such as mobile phones and batteries for a number of years through its collection point at Council's Colac Customer Service Centre.
However, the State Government ban on all electronic and electrical waste going to landfill, to be introduced on July 1, will force people to choose recycling options for all items with a cord or batteries rather than disposing of them in their kerbside bin.
Council's transfer stations at Apollo Bay, Birregurra and Alvie will accept and store E-waste and are working with other G21 Councils, Barwon South West Waste Resource Recovery Group (BSWWRRG) and Pony Up for Good for the E-waste processing.
E-waste items for disposal at Transfer Stations include televisions, computers, IT accessories, phones, irons, toasters and other household electrical and electronic items.
In addition to Council's e-waste collection station at Colac for mobile phones, household batteries, printer cartridges, CDs and DVDs, Council has also ordered a collection station for Apollo Bay, with more details and location to be announced soon.
Visit Colac Otway's website for more waste and recycling information.

Matt & Kayla's Engagement Session at Bowie Nature Park
November 12, 2017
We were definitely chasing the last of the fall leaves for this shoot! We loved spending some time with Kayla & Matt for their engagement session at Bowie Nature Park. Kayla is one of the coaches at our gym, and she is just the sweetest. She and Matt were so cute together, and I mean, can you really take a bad picture of these two?! It also felt like a true Nashville shoot with a little cowboy boot action. Thanks Kayla and Matt for making our jobs easy!

Ghana's entertainment industry is growing and same applies to entertainment related shows on both radio and on television. I don't know if you have noticed but gradually I'm beginning to feel that, hosts of entertainment shows are becoming lazy these days with their approach to their job.
Entertainment show hosts must know that, the success of their shows are not primarily about the panelists they bring on the shows or how good they are in the Queen's Language but it's about how interactive they get with their viewers or listeners.
There are three ways that, viewers or listeners can be made part of a show. These are via telephone calls, text messages and of course through social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter. Most people of late have resorted to using Twitter.
All over the world, social media is the thing now. It's a big platform that many journalists, reporters and media personnel are exploiting to their advantage. The medium is changing the face of journalism, despite few areas which needs to be tackled and shaped.
In a proper journalism practice, before a journalist gets ready to interview anyone, he or she must prepare well ahead. Depending on who is about to be interviewed, the preparation must entail background checks and research on the person, before questions can be set.
These days, I have observed that, entertainment hosts who have embraced the new trend of using social media are becoming more popular and their programmes are getting high ratings.
What is however unfortunate is that, like I stated earlier, the trend is making journalists lazy as they fail to do the proper thing of researching well about the people they intend to interview and rather allow audience to have a field day to write about various unsubstantiated rumours about guests which they sometimes shamefully read live on air.
I can say that, Divas Show on TV3 hosted by newscaster Nana Aba Anamoah has become like a show on Saturday that virtually everyone looks up these days. According to some media friends, the show has taken some shine off others on the same band on other stations. The reason is simple; Nana Aba involves the viewers and occasionally reads their tweets while others do not.
The practice of not doing checks and allowing the viewers to decide the pace of the show is not the best but unfortunately it's becoming the norm now.
Now let's travel to the Industrial area based television station, GhONE. George Quaye is the host of The Pundits, an entertainment Talk Show on Tuesdays on the station. Even though the show is new, it has also become like people's favourite to be educated, informed and entertained with facts concerning the growing entertainment industry.
Thanks to social media, George is edging out his colleagues who hosts similar shows on different television stations and are not taking advantage of social media.
There are other talk shows on TV which are scoring high marks as a result of the use of social media platforms. ETV's Late Night Celebrity Show and Entertainment Review on Peace FM are just two of examples.
However, I wish there was a way that using social media for live shows can be regulated. What is happening currently is that, the host on most occasions ends up reading some unsubstantiated news sent as comments about their guest to the public and later apologise. After all it is not everything that radio and television guest want the world to know.
I think that, social media is both a curse and a blessing to entertainment journalism and it is time something is done to diminish the curse, so we all can enjoy the blessing that comes with it. One thing that should be noted is that, no matter what, entertainment hosts cannot out-rightly stop using social media platforms.
Now over to you, what do you think?

Cowboy builders' £300,000 bill led victim Colin Juffs to suicide
A retired computer analyst who killed himself was forced to hand over almost £300,000 by cowboy builders after he asked them to repoint his chimney, an inquest was told.
Colin Juffs's body was found by his sister in his house alongside a file of paperwork relating to the building work and a note. In the note Mr Juffs, who was 65, said he had been conned by the builders after trying to get his chimney repointed and that costs had soared within weeks to £297,000. He told of the "clever" way in which he had been scammed, with each job requiring another one to be completed.
Mr Juffs had lived in the house for more than 30 years and long since paid off his mortgage.

Strathclyde University Incubator may have catalysed the emergence of two more potential businesses after helping Strathclyde University students excel against entrepreneurial competition at a Strathclyde 100 event in Glasgow last month, where they benefited from the experience of their business mentor, SUI Managing Director Gillian MacAulay.
Organisations in attendance at the behest of the S100, a network of entrepreneurial alumni and business people who support emerging Strathclyde entrepreneurs, included Scottish Enterprise, the Scottish Institute for Enterprise, the Hunter Centre for Entrepreneurship, and banking behemoths Santander. Guests were greeted with a drinks reception followed by short presentations from Student Enterprise Ambassador Nicole Perry and Strathclyde Enterprise Hub Advisor Josh Sauter, before settling down for the main event.
The Dragon's Den-style competition was arranged into two categories: one made up of post-graduate researchers and another of under-graduate students, with Gill, John Anderson and Alasdair Mackay as its 3 mentors-turned-judges. It threw groups of participants together to churn out a viable business idea and present them while under fire from the business Dragons and a 100-strong audience comprising many of Scotland's foremost entrepreneurs and innovative thinkers.
Standing up in front of such an illustrious crowd ramped up the pressure for participants, and given that they would only have a few minutes to showcase an entire business and how they planned to take it forward, it was crucial that they delivered their presentations crisply and understood their subject back to front. Thankfully for eventual under-grad winnersEssential Vitality (Postura), they had been sent a business angel.
Matthew McLintock said, We met with Gill several times and received invaluable guidance on how to improve our presentation for the S100 event. Gill impressed on us the importance of time management, advising us to stay well clear of the time limit, as well as emphasising the importance of capturing the audience's attention by finishing our presentation in an emphatic and memorable fashion. With the presentation being central to the competition overall, Gill's mentoring was crucial to our group winning the award for best student idea.
Gill was similarly professional on the night, a vision of fairness and equality on the judging panel, not for a second entertaining the idea of favouring her young charges. After her team received glowing praise from her colleague and fellow mentor John Anderson, she was asked if she would like to respond in kind by saying something nice about John and his young entrepreneurs.
It was then the turn of the post-graduate researchers to take the floor. VO Search, the group coached by Gill, proposed a database which would alleviate the struggle academics face to find volunteers for their research. With 1 in 5 organisations intimating that difficulties in the recruitment or retention of volunteers would hold them back over the next three years according to the UK Civil Society Almanac, this is a considerable problem in academic circles, but VO Search team member Evangelia Daskalaki praised their mentor for enabling them to sell such a specialised concept to a wider audience.
She said Coming from a research background and being trained to construct presentations for the scientific community, it was important to learn how to switch from this technical mind-set to one of more charm, I would say. Gillian taught us the value of being able to convince someone to buy into your idea, and that is where she really came through for us as a mentor.
While VO Search did not manage to triumph in the researcher's category, they were able to secure a very commendable second place. As a business they still have a long road to travel, yet the experience has increased their appetite for success and the group hope that their showing at the S100 event has provided them with the boost they need to take the company forward.
Eva said Right now, VO Search is still largely an idea so we have no immediate plans, but we are currently meeting with the advisors at the Enterprise Hub to discuss next steps and I have signed us up for the latest event run by Gabriel: How To Build The Killer Business Plan, to help me turn this idea into reality.

Sportspeople love pulling out the "it's been a journey" cliche when scrambling to say something profound during post-match interviews.
Indeed, one of our women's rugby sevens players used those very words this week following the team's defeat by Australia at the Rio Olympics.
Nothing surprising there.
What did grab the attention of Stock Takes was a version of that meaningless phrase being used by the outgoing boss of Intueri Education Group to describe that company's appalling post-listing history.
The private training provider has missed prospectus forecasts and its shares, which listed at $2.35 in May 2014 and peaked at $3.35 in September of that year, have slumped to close at 23.5c last night.
Intueri is being investigated by the Serious Fraud Office and two of its divisions have been reviewed by the Tertiary Education Commission funding agency. Dividend payments were suspended in February pending the TEC's review.
Despite all of that, Rob Facer seemed to be getting into the Olympic spirit in the press release that announced his sudden departure as Intueri's chief executive on August 5.
"We have taken the organisation on a significant journey since listing," he said, before adding, "this is now an opportunity for the board to pursue some fresh input to shepherd Intueri into the next phase of what I firmly believe is an exciting future."
A journey is one way of putting it, a disaster another.
While tired cliches are to be expected from sports stars, investors deserve more from a CEO who presided over the destruction of hundreds of millions of dollars in shareholder value.
Magic mark
New Zealand's sharemarket crossed an important threshold last month, thanks largely to the unrelenting bull run in equities.
The NZX's total market capitalisation reached $124.6 billion in July, taking it to 50.1 per cent of GDP.
The sharemarket operator said it was "the first time in a very long time" that the ratio had cracked the 50 per cent mark.
"The records in the metrics spreadsheet go back to October 2003 [and] at that point the ratio was 39 per cent," NZX said. "It peaked at 47.3 per cent in January 2007 but the GFC saw this drop as low as 24.3 per cent in February 2009."
The exchange noted that new listings - including those of state-owned enterprises such as Meridian Energy - and the market's sustained bull run had helped it hit the "magic 50 per cent mark".
The S&P/NZX 50 gained 6.5 per cent in July alone and is up 16.3 per cent for the year.
Don't fear
The prospect of Donald Trump moving into the White House has many investors worried, even if Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton is leading the polls.
But Craigs Investment Partners has some soothing words for any worried clients in its latest News & Views report.
While a Clinton win would usher in a "business as usual environment" - avoiding the uncertainty markets hate - a Trump victory would be "far from dire for the US economy".
"An increase in fiscal stimulus in the form of government spending and investment would provide a much needed boost to the US economy," the Craigs report said. "Trade protectionism and more restrictive immigration policies would lead to job creation [through lower imports] and wage increases due to fewer workers."
Still, Craigs does see potential for sharemarket volatility following a Trump win.
"The initial uncertainty created by another surprise political result could be significant," the report said.
"All else being equal, we would treat an equity market sell-off triggered by a Trump win as a buying opportunity - once the dust settles, investors will begin to price in higher economic growth, higher wages and higher interest rates in the US."

Who doesn't like a naked cowboy???
Imagine my delight when I found this stamp! As you may or may not know, I have this thing about bathtubs. This guy in his boots and hat in the tub with his hairy legs just makes me smile. The image is from Rubbernecker, the image was colored with copic markers. I used nestabilities to cut the image and the shadow. The sentiment is from Staming Up.
Thanks for looking. Have an awesome day.

Messenger | website | facebook | twitter |
Released on April 22, 2016 via InsideOut Music
Messenger have got a message for you… And even just one listen to Threnodies will tell you that the missive says almost as much about them as a band as it does the lives (and deaths) that they portray in this compelling creation.
Gone are the flirtations with folksiness that marked out the promising, trio-led debut of 2014's Illusory Blues, replaced instead with a new-found boldness that comes from being a settled five-piece. Have no doubt about it: Messenger of 2016 play full-blooded, psychedelic prog rock… with the emphasis on rock.
A threnody is a musical or poetic lamentation of mourning, but don't let that fool you into thinking that this loosely conceptual album will be a succession of dreary ballads: every track is alive and kicking; and chock-full of meditations on the meaning of life, death, the universe and everything, which aptly match the trippy treeline of their soundscape.
We start gently, though, with 'Calyx' (a titular nod to Robert Wyatt that seems accidental) whose drifting, somnambular opening focuses on a lost soul in limbo between life and death, "Wake me from this sleep / There's no colour to my dreams…" before a startling injection of synths kicks off a rock canter that rises into a coda of wailing guitars from Barnaby Maddick and Khaled Lowe. And while it should be obvious that such hypertrophy is merely a prelude, nothing quite prepares you for what follows…
'Oracles of War' opens with vertiginous, doom-laden bass chords – an asphyxiation of sound that owes as much to Royal Blood as Sabbath – before galloping into a rock ballad of Lizzy-like duelling guitars and reflection on the futility of conflict ("Don't go looking for reason / It's absent like the desert snow") that is driven, like so much of the album, by Jaime Gomez Arellano's dramatic drum patterning. But what really hones its edge is the confidence of Dan Knight's keys, with just the right counterpoint of gravelly Hammond to accompany such sentiments as "Lies killing all the innocents on both sides", whose bellicose fury are surely influenced by that tragic November night in Paris.
These ingredients on their own are enough to make this one of the towering tracks on the album; but raging against the machine only goes so far and, after four-and-a-half furious minutes, they expand into the semi-religious hush of Floyd-like reflection with a sleight of hand that leaves you breathless: Maddick's plaintive falsetto, underpinned by syncopated rhythms and clean acoustic guitars, steering us towards a coda of settled scores and settling dust; of frenzy fading to peace, however uneasy.
If 'Oracles of War' is the prime example of Messenger now, then 'Balearic Blues' harks back to their pastoral past and, quite literally, "echoes of a time you knew before". It's a spirit waltz of gentle guitar arpeggios, steam-train drumming, and vivid imagery that imagines a soul flying through nature and into the universe. But while it has the space for a 'fiddles and flutes' interlude of yesteryear, these are eschewed in favour of sensitive, string-sound samples that paint the perfect dreamscape.
'Celestial Spheres' steers us back to full-dose psychedelic rock, and is the second standout of the album. Describing the vain attempt to escape the siren-call of fate, "As I turned to face the roaring sea / I knew this could be the final scene / Is she still biding her time?" its trippy opening (complete with Manzarek-style Rhodes piano raindrops) explodes into syncopated, 70s-style heavy-rock riffs and drums, with yet more exquisite Hammond playing from Knight that oozes Spooky Tooth at their, well, spookiest. And he's not finished there, switching up to a perfect synth-storm to create a bridge for Maddick's and Lowe's fight-to-the-fuzz finish.
With a nice sense of dynamic, the lullaby-like 'Nocturne' follows: a deceptively simple lament that hints at loss and a lost love – "Run, run, chasing the sun / Just to get burned again / You're too tired and outdone to be spurned yet again" – cleverly underpinned by insistent drums and James Leach's counterpointed, crunchy bass. But despite the achingly beautiful funereal finale of Echoplex guitars, it's a little more than a diversion before 'Pareidolia', the penultimate song, and the third touched with real greatness.
And what a beast it is: its frankly impenetrable lyrics (taking the title at face value, it would ironically appear to argue that appearances can be deceptive) exhorting us to "Give heed to euphoria's calling" and choose between "A palisade or a prison / To stay a slave or awaken with the few?" even at the risk of our own death. But putting such Matrix-like musing aside, the triumph here is in the composition, and a band who don't just admit to their Floydian slip, but are proud enough to parade it down the street (and some) in a Gilmour-inspired section that shows off Maddick's and Lowe's Fleet-Foxes style harmonies at their very best. And while the lyrics might be too far down the rabbit hole for me to ever grasp the narrative, who cares when you're overcome by a refrain as hairs-on-the-neck haunting as this.
It's a tough track to follow, but as slight a closer as 'Crown of Ashes' may seem, it grows in stature with repeated listenings, without ever treading anywhere near the death metal the title hints at! Instead, we open with a warm and mellow guitar prelude that leads a slow, funeral march of luscious close harmonies and string sounds in a simple, curve-like elegy. "Somewhere in time hangs a portrait of you / Your eyes still alive with a fire, and a smile that endures…" wistfully hints at an existence where we may be alive but are dead inside (wearing a crown of ashes) if we don't stay true to ourselves; while the final line, "Maybe it's me but I'm certain I'm there just out of view…" has uncanny echoes of Death Is Nothing At All.
An understated finale, but an apt one I feel; for one of the triumphs of Threnodies is that it shows Messenger at ease and completely true to themselves. A Messenger where Arellano's drums drive the band to new dimensions and Knight's keys add stability and shape, freeing up Lowe and Maddick to do what they do best: produce dazzling guitar lines and harmonies. Messenger re-born, in some ways.
Threnodies is a considerable achievement: a rock-driven creation that is expansive but subliminally so, with the soundscape of almost every track effortlessly re-modelling its time signatures and key changes like shifting sands in the desert. It's accessible prog at its very best: virtuosic yet self-effacing; trippy but not tripped out; poetic but never precious. It's undoubtedly one of the prog albums of the year; and although it may be more of sleeper when it comes to being recognised outside the prognoscenti, I have a feeling the memo will get through, and it will end up in a good many other RoTY lists, too, such is its broad appeal. But more than that, if this album is a taste of things to come, then there's every reason to think that Messenger are a British band capable of touching the heights of Anekdoten, or even Opeth…
Illusory Blues was a fine debut, but in many ways it was an illusion. The Messenger story starts here with Threnodies, and it's a story you need to listen to. The message is simply this: Messenger rock!
Pass it on…

The "Weekly" Biology Session: Backyard Birds II
They came out! We have little chicks in our birdhouse. They are probably just a few days old because their peeping sounds are very faint. I noticed it yesterday, and my heart stopped. So much fun. Hopefully we will see them fly out.
Mr. and Mrs. Tit are also showing different behaviour. No more evening "pa-tee pa-tee pa-tee" on the fence anymore by Mr. Tit. They are both flying on and off with snacks for the little ones. They are still very shy though and very fast when it comes to flying off. It is hard to take pictures of them. I only got some nice pics with Mr. Tit, who seems to do the majority of getting food for the chicks. How do you know the difference? Mrs. Tit has a faint yellow spot in the black stripe on her chest and Mr. Tit has a continuous fat black stripe on his. The top picture shows Mrs. and the middle and bottom pictures show Mr. Tit.
Hopefully I will have some nice pictures very soon. Their chicks will grow and grow and will needs lots and lots of more food. More flying in and out of the birdhouse, so more chance of getting a nice picture!

Refurbishing An Old Window Air Conditioner: How To Change The Fan Capacitor
If you like to work with your hands and are looking for a new hobby to so you can stay busy over the winter months, you should consider refurbishing an old air conditioner to keep you cool next summer. There are some parts that wear out and many people will just toss the air conditioner away and buy a new one next year, but if you like to reuse old things and make them run well again, an old air conditioner can be just the right challenge that will keep you busy over the winter. Here is how you can change the fan capacitor on a window air conditioner.
Take Cover Off
Set the air conditioner on a table so you can work on it. You need to take the cover off of the unit. The cover is typically secured to the unit with small six-sided hex screws. The actual size of the hex nut will vary by manufacturer and you'll need to have different sized hex sockets or nut drivers available to use. Remove the screws around the perimeter of the cover and take it off.
Locate Fan Capacitor
Locate the wires going into the back of the fan and follow them to the capacitor. The capacitor for a window air conditioner will either be rectangular-shaped or oblong and it will look like a large 9-volt battery.
Discharge Capacitor
The capacitor will usually hold onto a residual electrical charge even after you have unplugged the air conditioner and taken it out of the window. You need to discharge the electricity to avoid getting a shock while you are replacing the capacitor. Use a small flathead screwdriver with an insulated handle so you don't get a shock to discharge the capacitor.
The wires running from the fan are connected to a couple of terminals on the capacitor. Take your screwdriver and place the metal blade on both terminals at the same time. This action will discharge the electricity in the capacitor. Remove the wires from the terminals on the capacitor. One wire will be blue and the other yellow. You should take a note on which wire goes on each terminal.
Remove Capacitor
The capacitor sits in a bracket and can usually just be pulled out. Sometimes there is a strap around it that you'll have to remove first.
Replace Capacitor
You need a new capacitor that matches the old one. The easiest thing to do is take the old capacitor to an appliance parts store and have the personnel at the store match the old one up with a new one.
Install New Capacitor
Slide the new capacitor into the bracket and reconnect the wires.
Start Air Conditioner
Plug the air conditioner in and start it. The fan should kick on within a few moments. Put the cover back on, and you're done.
For more tips, contact a company like Thompson Heating & Air Conditioning Inc.

Autumn Statement 2014 Review: Attack on goodwill tax breaks
If anyone was expecting a giveaway Budget before the General Election, they will be disappointed. The chancellor's Autumn Statement represents a fiscal tightening over the next five years, with the objective of achieving a budget surplus by the end of the next parliamentary term.
Sole traders and partnerships who transfer their business to limited companies will no longer benefit from a valuable "tax break." In the past, it has been possible to create goodwill on incorporation, and benefit from entrepreneur's relief. The capital gains tax on the goodwill has therefore been charged at 10%.
From 3 December, these capital gains will be taxed at 28%. Alternatively, tax payers should still be able to use the existing claim hold over relief to avoid the tax charge.
In a separate measure, the government has also abolished the corporation tax relief available for companies on the amortisation of goodwill, where the goodwill is created on incorporation. This will apply only to goodwill acquired on or after 3 December 2014. Companies already obtaining tax relief on goodwill recognised on incorporation will not be affected.

Really hope I can get some good advice. Recently had my 4 year old Sanyo PLV3000 repaired for $900 because the warning lights would come on. It was sent to Sanyo/Panasonic for the repair. I got it back, it worked fine for about a month (less than 40 hours of operation) and then it would shut-down presumably of overheating. After shutting it down for a few minutes it would work again. Now, while watching, I decided to change the view to Dynamic cinema and the warning lights came back on and I'm back to where I started a month ago. I can't see sticking any more money into this thing so, unless you guys tell me differently, its time for a new projector. I have a dedicated theater room built by the previous owner of my house. Its has a 100" screen with the projector mounted on the ceiling at about 8' height, 12' from the screen. This room is great for blu-rays and hi-def sports watching. I'm not that interested in 3-D capability.
Any and all advice would be immensely appreciated.

Stoke-on-Trent community interest company, Engage Communities, led by community development expert Yaser Mir, is urging local people to help to give Stoke kids a sporting chance at a better future.
The organisation has been shortlisted for funding from the Lloyds Banking Group Community Fund and the funding will be awarded to the charity that generates the most votes.
Engage Communities is seeking the funding to kick-start its Round House project which is designed to help young people to develop skills and qualifications in Olympic sports like Taekwondo or Boxing. Yaser comments; "Sport has an enormous capacity to make a positive difference in people's lives. It provides young people with a constructive way of letting off steam and teaches them about discipline, perseverance, hard work and respect for others. These are all skills that will be incredibly beneficial to them in all areas of their lives."
The Round House project will train local people in Taekwondo and Boxing in community locations across Stoke-on-Trent. The classes will be offered at minimal cost, so any young person who is interested in taking part will be able to come along. All the specialist kit will be provided which will be welcome news for parents, particularly at the moment whilst many families are struggling to make ends meet.
But there's more to the programme than just sport. The young participants will also benefit from a mentor to help fuel their personal development. Yaser's team has a varied portfolio of skills and can signpost young people to other specialists if they have issues relating to drugs, alcohol or problems at home. Yaser adds; "They'll also gain an ASDAN qualification, the equivalent of a GCSE, so the project will help boost their self-esteem as well as giving young people something to put on their CVs. Some young people can even go on to become qualified coaches, giving them the chance to develop their own business at a time when career opportunities are thin on the ground."
The organisation will also be working with sported. the UK's leading sport for development charity, established by Sir Keith Mills, Chief Executive of the 2012 Olympic bid team and Deputy Chairman of LOCOG. As well as offering funding support to Engage Communities, sported. will provide business mentoring support through local advertising agency Director, Amanda McDonald. Amanda comments "I'm really excited to be involved with Engage Communities. At Yes Agency we're passionate about learning about how communities operate so this is a real meeting of minds. I have been incredibly impressed by Yaser's vision. I'm hoping that together we can turn this into a reality for the benefit of Stoke's young people."
So what can people do to help? Yaser is looking to fellow Stoke people and people interested across the West Midlands to vote for Engage Communities by visiting http://tinyurl.com/d2rjs6n. "We want to give our kids a sporting chance in life. There's lots of talent in Stoke-on-Trent and we want to help to foster it. Who knows? We may even find a future Olympian or the next Amir Khan…"
For further information call Yaser Mir on 07510 857563.
Editor's note: Engage Communities is a Community Interest Company committed to empowering and developing socially excluded and disadvantaged members of communities. The organisation offers a specialist Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic service. Sport England Active People Survey results indicate that adult participation in Stoke is 14.1% − significantly lower than the national average of 20%. Sports participation amongst non-white groups in Stoke is even lower at just 10.4%.

A cross-party manifesto, proposing significant improvements to radiotherapy provision throughout the UK, has been launched by Tim Farron MP, (chair) and Gillian Keegan MP (Vice-Chair) of the newly formed All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for Radiotherapy.
The manifesto's key points are:
- By 2025 the percentage of cancer patients needing radiotherapy as part of their treatment will have risen from the current 50% to 60%.
- Only 5% of the NHS cancer budget is spent on radiotherapy (£383million a year). More investment will increase cancer survival.
- £424m in the last six years has been spent on advanced radiotherapy, compared with £1.95bn spent on new cancer drugs.
- An additional £100m a year is needed to catch up with and provide advanced radiotherapy in the UK.
- With a £250m one-off investment transformational change can be provided.
- Investment in IT connectivity will allow every cancer patient to have access to a radiotherapy centre as close to their home as possible
The manifesto document emphasises the need for investment in therapeutic radiographers and calls for the reinstatement of bursaries.
The SCoR's director of professional policy, Charlotte Beardmore, welcomed the APPG document, saying, "We are delighted that a cross-party group of MPs and peers recognises the vital role that radiotherapy and therapeutic radiographers play in the treatment of cancer patients.
"The investment the APPG propose, while fairly moderate in financial terms, would have a huge and positive impact on patients. An increase in funding is essential if the UK is to significantly improve cancer survival rates and reduce effects which impact on patients' quality of life."

Something that modern masters of art like Pablo Picasso, and Mark Rothko took a lifetime to achieve, Joe Papagoda (b. 1992) is already accomplishing due to his amazing ability to capture the archetypes of the ages and express them with a compelling insight and bold style. Papagoda's explosive talent has set the art world on fire and he is being dubbed the next big thing by critics and collectors alike. Many have simply called him a "genius" as his art becomes a worthy addition to any collector's portfolio. Local, as well as international art collectors are keenly seeking his artwork, which ranges from brilliantly colored acrylics to evocative photographs, and emotive clay sculptures.
Papagoda's most prominent series of abstract paintings, "Myths", are already collected in most major cities in the USA. Loosely based on ancient myths and legends that evoke an expressive power, without relying on figurative suggestions, Myths is a timeless modern body of work which is allegorical. His other notable series of paintings include "Wanderlust" and "King's Gold."
Recently, Hotel Tilden has collaborated with Papagoda, describing Papagoda as a celebrated artist (http://www.tildenhotel.com/collaborations) he is currently working on a 65 foot mural entitled "The Sake of Serenity." The acrylic on canvas painting, will feature Papagoda's custom mix of fluid paints combined with the traditional method of applying paint with a brush and a poured paint technique.
Building upon the foundation of the American lead art movement known as Abstract Expressionism, Joe Papagoda has developed his own direction of timeless and powerful expressions combined with contemporary art styles for the ultimate effect that have evolved into a reflection of his own authentic persona. Often creating artworks which are allegorical and timeless, his signature style includes color dominated fields of pure colors evoked by fluid composition and organic elements of abstraction that are able to evoke an expressive power that serve in part as a mechanism meant to empower creative vision in the mind of the viewer.
Joe Papagoda has museum quality print editions offered by Art Star gallery, a blue chip online gallery with offices in New York City. (https://www.artstar.com/collections/joe-papagoda)
Joe Papagoda sells his own artwork on ArtFinder (https://www.artfinder.com/joepapagoda)

Recording School Kids Sound Effects in Vietnam
While on my road trip across Vietnam from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi, I've been staying at many hotels along the way. After stopping in Cao Bang for the night, I was woken up in the early morning by the sound of school children laughing and yelling. Without realizing it, I booked a hotel literally next door to an elementary school!
Sound Compilation "School Kids Sound Effects – Vietnam"
In other countries, this ruckus probably would have had neighbors complaining about the noise level. However, in Vietnam, it's just a typical morning soundtrack. For the tourists, the screaming of dozens of kids isn't the ideal alarm clock. As for me, it was a fitting soundscape to capture!
With a spring in my step, I set up my recorders near the window which was only 5 meters away from the school and around 30 meters away from the playground. For this recording, I used a Zoom F8n with Usi Pro by Lom and the new 360-degree Zoom H3-VR (AmbiX format.)
What You'll Hear in this Kids Sound Library
- Kids at school laughing, screaming, shouting, and playing ball games
- Outside of a schoolyard with approximately 100 children scattered around the grounds
- Children chatting and walking to their classrooms
- Manually hitting drums to let the school children know school is about to begin
- School kids singing in the classroom
- A teacher playing piano (or keyboard) with the kids
- Fant street traffic in the background
- A chirping bird
I've included a metadata file with descriptions and keywords in each sound file. For better searchability and to review the information, I recommend using Soundly, Soundminer, Basehead, Soundgrinder or other programs of your choice.
Download School Kids Sound Effects On Bandcamp
Complete Library
As a Complete Library user (just $10) you can download these sound effects and thousands more direct out of the cloud and use it without credit attribution. All sounds included in this post can be found inside "Vietnam Category Four".
VR Ambisonic Sound Library
School Sound Effects were recorded in 360° audio and can be found in our new ambisonic sound library called the VR Sound Library inside the "Vietnam Category.

Blog Marketing – Giving it Away to Get 'Em
Weather reports on a jewelry store website or blog? Sports scores to market a dental practice? Really?
Entrepreneur Magazine's Ultimate Small Business Marketing Guide thinks it's a good idea:
"Another good way to increase your web site's sticky content is to provide up-to-date headline news, sports scores, international and local weather forecasts, and stock market financial information……By providing visitors with free and valuable information and services, you entice them to return to your web site often, and in doing so you increase the number of selling opportunities "you have with each individual visitor.
World Weather Online claims, "There are millions of websites on the Internet and you have to make yours stand out for all the right reasons….They can peruse your website and at the same time have the added bonus of being able to check a wide range of weather reports."
As a marketing blog content writer, I tend to lean the other way. The Nielsen Norman Group in "113 Design Guidelines for Homepage Usability" hits on my point exactly:
"Imagine how disorienting it would be to walk into a store and not be able to tell immediately what services or goods were available there. The same is true of your homepage. It must communicate in one short glance where users are, what your company does, and what users can do at your site. Why should users do anything at a site if they can't figure out what there is to do there?"
"Provide good useful information and establish trust and credibility – sales will follow," says the think-ebiz.com blog. You're a subject matter expert (a SME) offering usable information and insights – but you're not a SME on sports or weather. In corporate blogging for business, the blog content itself constitutes a Call to Action. Inserting non-related, albeit generally useful, information, in my mind, borders on bait-and-switch.
Remember, online readers have found their way to your blog precisely because there's a match between the products, services, and information they need on the one hand, and what you have, what you do, and what you know on the other. Now that they've arrived, you cannot afford to tax their patience by distracting them with sports scores or snow statistics.
Blog marketing is a form of "giving it away to get 'em", which focus readers' attention on information that is relevant, useful, and encourages action – with your business or practice!

Just as I was about to begin painting my recent illo to help celebrate the new year, I decided to record myself adding color to the sketch.
Here is an (extremely) sped up look (I wish I could paint this quickly in real time!):

A new extended #fiftyshadesdarker trailer has been released, featuring "I Don't Wanna Live Forever (Fifty Shades Darker)" by Zayn | Taylor Swift! You can watch it below, courtesy of #officialfifty!
Happy New Year!
Just thought I'd paint a quickie piece in time for New Year's Day. Last year my illo featured headless bodies, so I thought this time I'd use (semi) bodiless heads! 😉
Wishing you all a very healthy and happy 2017!

While never one to dwell on her appearance or give much thought to dressing up, Ana is quite surprised, yet pleased, reviewing her reflection after getting ready for a masquerade ball, in Fifty Shades Darker. As if experiencing an out of body experience, she almost doesn't recognize her own reflection.
This was all thanks to some stunning wardrobe choices by Personal Shopper extraordinaire, Caroline Acton, her recently styled hair and a tiny bit of makeup. However, Christian's earlier, and unexpected added accessory to her outfit made her use of blush quite unnecessary. 😉
Now all ready to go, she sets off in search of her date for the evening. I decided to create an illo showing what it might have looked like to Ana as she happens upon a group that is stunned into silence upon seeing her.
Christian is deep in conversation with Taylor and three other men with his back to Ana as she enters. But once her presence quickly registers on the mens' faces in different forms of surprise and deep appreciation of her beauty (and a bit of pride and happiness from Taylor), he can't help but take notice. He quickly turns and is equally stunned and pleased seeing her standing before him. Even though he had just seen her while she was getting ready, and knew what she would be wearing, it didn't compare to seeing her there in her entire ensemble. He was captivated–even though she felt quite embarrassed by their attention and stood awkwardly before them.
But at the same time, Ana was also quite stunned and pleased upon seeing Christian in his full tuxedo. So the feelings were quite mutual. 🙂
Christian greets Ana and expresses to her what his gaze had already communicated. At this point it's clear that the meeting is over and Taylor and the men give the couple some privacy. After a quick glass of champagne, and receiving another (yet quite important) accessory for the masquerade ball, the two soon head off on their way to quite an interesting and event-filled evening…

Recently I completed a new commission, but am now able to share the finished piece! Indhira Jacobo was kind enough to commission me to create an illustration for the cover of her new book, "Te amé antes de conocerte" (or "I loved you even before I met you.")
What makes the story extra special is that it is based on a true story! I was even lucky enough to be supplied with photos of actual locations and clothing for reference while working on the piece!
While the book is not written in English, I hope that all of you that are able to read Spanish pick up a copy and enjoy!

One recent evening, I started randomly sketching to help me wind down at the end of the day. As I kept drawing, a couple emerged. I was happy with how it was developing and decided to keep going with it. Then I had an idea to add another element to perhaps make it a bit more intriguing…but decided to share the sketch on my Twitter, Instagram and Facebook accounts before adding that little detail. 😉
So, this is the final painted result!
Hmmm…seems like they have some interesting plans ahead… 😉
I also decided to record myself while I painted the final sketch! Here is a speedpainting video I put together.
If you enjoyed watching, I hope you'll visit and subscribe to my YouTube channel!
While you're there, you can take a peek at a few other speedpainting videos I have posted. Happy viewing, and thanks! 😀

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump tweeted a message Tuesday night regarding the missiles Iran launched on two airbases in Iraq that housed U.S. troops.
President Trump tweeted "All is well! Missiles launched from Iran at two military bases located in Iraq. Assessment of casualties & damages taking place now. So far, so good! We have the most powerful and well equipped military anywhere in the world, by far! I will be making a statement tomorrow morning."
Earlier the White House was reportedly preparing the president to make a statement to the public regarding the rapidly escalating tensions between the U.S. and Iran. The White House then announced there would not be statement from the president Tuesday night.
There was no word by late Tuesday on what time the president would deliver that statement Wednesday morning, or if it would be delivered from the White House.

Naan is for everything
1/2 cup warm water
2 tsp. active dry yeast
1 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
^ Let these ingredients sit for a minute or two so they can activate.
2 1/2 cups Bread flour (It works better than regular)
1/4 cup oil
1/3 cup plain yogurt
1 large egg
Select 'dough setting'. It will knead the dough and then warm the unit to allow it to rise. After my dough had risen, I punched it down and let it rise a second time. This process takes about an hour to rise, but You could leave it all day in the breadmaker if you wanted.
*If you don't have a breadmaker-
In a large bowl, stir together the water, yeast and sugar and let stand for 5 minutes, until foamy.
Stir in the flour, salt, oil, yogurt and egg and stir.
Knead until you have a soft, pliable dough.
Cover with a towel and let rise until doubled in size- about an hour.
Divide the dough into 8 pieces- easiest with a pizza cutter.
This worked best for me to flatten it out with my palms first and then roll it with the rolling pin as thin as I could.
Cook each piece on a hot skillet or griddle drizzled with olive oil.
Makes 8 Naan.
I served with Cinnamon HoneyButter.
I derived the recipe from here for this Naan.

What have you done with me?
You ruined everything
and you don't even see

I feel dead
All I see is red
I am sick

I see no way out
I need drugs

You ruined everything

I want peace
Don't know where to start

Nice carry! Normally that would just mean defeat to your team after getting outnumbered by the enemies.
those guns feel like they hit with impunity especially with how tight those shells are
That scharhorst lost that battle
Top tier and first half of the battle he camps behind island, no tanking, no radar used, just sniping, no help for the team. All the dev strikes on Edinburgh, Pensacola and Baltimore – we have seen million of those. Sharnhorst just played bad. Twannieboy, I know You can pick better games to show.
Non concealment build Missouri ?

lol that shittalker…
Nice love your videos pls create more stuff like that
That Shanhorst…..never seen an idiot like that since the time of the Derpitzers
Twan…notice my replays i send, TWAAN SENPAI, NOTICE MY REPLAYS (insert crazy smiley face)
To be honest this video is promoting bad BB gameplay. He is playing horrible, he just did all that because he camped back whole game and get lucky with idiot enemies. If same game was shown from enemy's aspect as "how the hell you fucked that up" style. It would be worth it, but not this.
Started out slow, but turned into an ass-kicking on the opposing team. XD
I totally agree with Frogman1171.
Very nice game 🙂
Increase Range mod its not good for Missouri use less reload time mod its better
Well played Sir… Well played

Nice gameplay, Twannie. You even survived after ramming a ship. RAMMING SPEED!

!! History Commons Alert, Exciting News
Iraqi oil minister Ibrahim Bahr al-Ulum tells the Financial Times that Iraq is preparing plans for the privatization of the country's oil sector. He says he supports the "full privatization of downstream installations, such as refineries, but [says] he would back production-sharing contracts upstream," the newspaper reports. He adds that US, possibly European, oil companies will be given priority. But he also says the decision will not be made until Iraq has an elected government. "The new elected government at the end of the transitional period will decide this issue," he tells the Times. "The Iraqi oil sector needs privatization, but it's a cultural issue," he explains. "People lived for the last 30 to 40 years with this idea of nationalism." Al-Ulum—a US-trained petroleum engineer who lived in London from 1992 until the overthrow of Hussein—was part of a working group organized by the State Department's Future of Iraq Project before the invasion (see December 20-21, 2002).
