Surnames & The Norman Conquest
I was recently interviewed for the BBC's The One Show regarding the introduction of surnames into England at the time of the Norman Conquest. Here I expand on the short interview to give you a better idea of the complexities of this subject.
At the time of the Norman Invasion, surnames were a new concept; unknown in England and in their infancy on the continent. A very small minority of the Norman knights who came to England at this time actually had what we would term 'surnames'; that is a hereditary name to be passed on to successive generations. All of these made reference to the name of the estates they came from in Normandy
Today, surnames are one of the main ways by which we identify ourselves, but in the 11th century people in England were known by their first names and then a 'byname'. Bynames and surnames were very similar, but a byname was not passed down to the next generation. Both were based on similar ideas; identifying someone by the way he or she looked, their personality, occupation or the place where they lived, for example, a feature in the landscape or the name of an inn.
Although William 1 was victorious at Hastings in October 1066 he was then faced by the arduous task of bringing the rest of the country under his control: no easy feat. One way of doing this was to re-distribute all the land in the country. From this point onwards all land technically belonged to the King and he in turn granted use of the land to men he believed would be loyal to him. These vassals did homage to their king and provided military service when required. In return the lords would require homage and services from those people who lived on their estates. Despite the fact that the new ruling classes were Norman, experts believe that one reason for the growing use of surnames among them was to strengthen their association with the land which they had been given. These were uncertain times and no-one felt secure!
Surnames did not suddenly come into use overnight! While we can pinpoint their origin among the landed classes at this time, it was not until the 13th century that surnames started to come into general use. By the end of the 14th century most people had one, but the rate at which the practice of using a surname became the norm differed around the country and many surnames from this time did not remain stable. There are many examples of different 'surnames' being passed down to siblings throughout the ensuing centuries.
The Normans did not just introduce surnames to England; they also brought a new pool of Norman-French personal names. If you have ever sighed in frustration over the plethora of people you find with the same name first and last name when researching your family history, you may thank the Normans! Over time, the wide-ranging stock of Old English and Anglo-Norse names such as Egbert, Wulfric, Harold, Ulf, Alfred and Edgar gradually fell out of favour with a few exceptions. They were replaced by the much more limited range of Anglo-Norman names such as Robert, Henry, Richard and William and later popular saints' names such as John and Thomas. This had a knock-on effect on surnames since many surnames were to derive from Christian names spawning names such as Roberts, Dickinson, Williamson, Johnson and the like.
It is fascinating to study the names of the knights who came over with William both before and after the Battle of Hastings. It's easy to see links between the names borne by those men and our modern-day surnames, but we must remember that in most cases the surnames we bear today would not have evolved for another 200 years or more. If your surname is Warren or Warrener, for example, you are likely to be descended from someone whose job it was to look after the rabbit warrens on the local lord's estate, rather than from William de Warenne the companion of William the Conqueror! Many surnames appear to be of 'French' origin but they can be deceptive. My own surname, Heritage, is a good example. Most surname dictionaries define it as referring to someone who inherited land from an ancestor, rather than holding land from the lord. Most give its origin as 'Old French'. Yet there is no similar surname on the continent, which is strange. A more likely interpretation is that it derives from the Old English word heretoga which originally meant a war leader, but by the time the surname evolved probably referred to a local community leader.
Surnames in Ireland, Wales and Scotland have different histories and I will look at them another time. For more on the evolution of surnames and how to interpret them, my recommended reading is George Redmond's book Surnames and Genealogy: An Introduction available second hand or in good libraries.

The Umkhonto (Zulu: spear) is a South African family of modern short- to medium-range, all-weather-capable vertical launch (VLS) surface-to-air missiles (SAM) manufactured by South Africa's Denel Dynamics (formerly known as Kentron). The missile and associated subsystems are supplied as a missile group for easy integration into naval combat suites or ground-based air defence systems.
Umkhonto has been designed to counter a wide variety of airborne threats, such as: multiple combat aircraft (fixed-wing or helicopter), anti-ship missiles, anti-radiation missiles, UAVs and drones as well as supersonic cruise missiles. When coupled with a modern air-defence system and multi-function surveillance track and guidance radars, the Umkhonto missile system has the capability to simultaneously engage multiple targets during saturation attacks.
Umkhonto is available in three variants, a short-range infrared homing (Umkhonto-IR), a medium-range infrared homing (Umkhonto-ER-IR) and a beyond-visual-range radar homing version (Umkhonto-R).
Development of the system began in 1993, after the failure to introduce into service and market the ZA-HVM short-range SAM (together with ZA-35). The first Ground-based system tests were completed in July 2005 and the system was judged to be shore-qualified. The tests included using Denel Dynamics Skua subsonic target drones equipped with telemetry sensors. Test flights flew different trajectory profiles, including low-flying, walking and exercising collision course evasive action.[3]
The first successful launch from a ship was carried out on board the South Africa Navy Valour-class frigate SAS Amatola on 23 November 2005. The missile was launched at a Denel Skua subsonic target drone near Cape Agulhas. Test launches were repeated a week later. Instead of a warhead, missiles were equipped with telemetry data transmission units. According to the telemetry, both tests were assessed as hits.
Umkhonto-IR Block 1[edit]
Designed for all-round defence against simultaneous air attacks from multiple targets, the Umkhonto-IR missile is the first vertically launched infrared-homing surface-to-air missile, also the first IR-homing missile to use lock-on-after-launch. Upon launch, the missile flies to a lock-on point, following on-board inertial navigation. The missile then activates its two-colour IR-seeker (variant of U-Darter AAM's seeker) and locks on. Target updates are received via data link, enabling the missile to counter evasive manoeuvres by the target.
The Umkhonto has a set of tail-mounted, aerodynamic control fins, as well as thrust vectoring vanes in the motor nozzle (similar to Denel's A-Darter AAM), allowing for 40 g manoeuvring. The system's 3-D fire-control radar enables simultaneous engagement of eight targets for the naval version. The missile uses a low-smoke propellant to avoid detection. In July 2005 it was successfully tested in various scenarios against a Denel made Skua drones.
The sealed container has a cylindrical pad shape. During start-reactive gases are reflected from the bottom of the container and go straight up between the walls of the container and the body of the rocket. After starting the container used to recharge removed and replaced with a loaded container. Reloading the launcher is made either on the basis of, or in a calm sea using an auxiliary vessel. High reliability is achieved through the built-in self-test hardware that provides the minimum cost of maintenance staff.
The system consists of modules starting with missiles in launch canisters, control panel, system controller (control computer and control system interface shooting), the startup sequence controllers (one for every four missiles), transmitter remote control, antenna station and the cooling system of the infrared sensor before starting.
Umkhonto-IR Block 2[edit]
This variant of the IR Umkhonto was recently developed in collaboration with the Finnish Navy. It has a more advanced seeker-head algorithm for differentiating between the target and background clutter often found in and around the Baltic archipelago. Because of the improvement in the seeker head, the newer version has a more efficient flight path, allowing for an increase in range of 3 km (1.9 mi); a new maximum range of 15 km (9.3 mi). Its current flight ceiling is 8 km (5.0 mi).
Denel Dynamics has stated its intention to end production of the Block 1 missile and continue with the production of the Block 2 version of the missile, as part of the missile's overall growth path.
An extended range version of the Block 2 variant of the Umkhonto-IR was test fired in October 2013. During the demonstration, three missiles successfully destroyed low-cost aerial target systems (LOCATS – provided by the South African Army), two at 15 km range and one at 20 km. The targets were launched from the Denel Overberg Test Range and flew out to sea before turning inshore on an elliptical track. The successful ground-based firing tests proved that the range of the Umkhonto can be extended to 20 km while the physical dimensions of the missile remain unchanged. The test was also part of the development of a mobile ground-based system for the South African Army.[4]
Umkhonto Ground-based Launcher System[edit]
The tests conducted in 2013 at the Denel Overberg Test Range were carried out primarily to test an extended range version of the Umkhonto Block 2 missile, but it also served as an opportunity to test the capability of the Denel Umkhonto Ground-based Launcher (GBL). This system is being developed to provide the South African Army with a short- to medium-range air defence system, able to target high-speed aerial threats as part of the army's Ground-Based Air Defence System Phase II project (GBADS II).
The Umkhonto Ground-based Launcher (GBL) is a versatile, compact and mobile surface-to-air missile vertical launching system (VLS) that provides 360° defence against simultaneous air attacks from missiles and aircraft. The land-based launcher concept is similar to the naval application. It operates autonomously for extended periods with a relatively low replenishment requirement. It is specifically designed to launch the Umkhonto range of missiles using the designated homing principle.
The GBL is supplied as a stand-alone effector system for easy integration into larger ground-based and naval air defence systems and can also be deployed as a vehicle-mounted system. It is transportable by land, sea and air (airlift by transport aircraft or helicopters). The system's design allows rapid encampment/decampment due to its highly mobile and autonomous capabilities.
The launcher is deployed either on a vehicle or as a standalone system, and is connected to a Command and Control centre via radio, hard-wired or fibre-optic links. It features 8 reloadable launch tubes that allows rapid reloading of the system. The system does not require a line-of-sight with a target due to its use of a Vertical Launch System.[5]
Denel Dynamics is currently developing an extended range Umkhonto-IR variant with a range exceeding 20 km (12 mi) with a larger motor that extends the range to over 30 km (19 mi).
Further extended range versions (Umkhonto-R) are in development. They will feature a rocket booster and Radar seekers.[6][7]
The radar-guided version's range is extended to over 60 km (37 mi) and has a higher operational ceiling of over 15,000 m (49,000 ft). It is also 65 kg (143 lb) heavier and 98 cm (39 in) longer than the Umkhonto-IR variant. Denel Dynamics is currently in negotiations with the Brazilian Navy for joint development of the missile.
Current users[edit]
- Finnish Navy: local designation ItO 2004 (Umkhonto-IR Block 2), fitted on all 4 of the Hamina class missile boats in 2002 and the 2 Hämeenmaa class minelayers in 2006.
- South African Navy: Umkhonto-IR Block 2 fitted on the Valour class frigates.
- Algerian National Navy: The Umkhonto has been selected by Algeria for use on its Meko A-200 Frigates. 32x VLS for Denel Umkhonto-IR surface-to-air missiles will equip the two MEKO 200 frigates.[4][8][9] The Algerian Navy ordered two Meko A-200 frigates from Germany, which are to be equipped with Umkhonto-IR Block 2 missiles. These ships are the same type as the South African Navy's Valour class frigates.[10] In 2012 Algeria also ordered 100 Umkhonto-IR surface-to-air missiles for the frigates, according to SIPRI.[4][11]
Future users[edit]
- South African Army: The South African Army intends to use the Land Based Umkhonto for its Short and Medium Ranged Air Defence requirements.
Failed bids[edit]
- Swedish Navy: The Swedish government has expressed interest in the Umkhonto-IR Block 2 system for five Visby class corvettes for at total cost of about 1 bn SEK.[12] Due to budgetary constraints a decision was taken in 2008 to delete the SAM requirement.
- Bangladesh Navy: Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering of South Korea proposed this system for their corvette offer for the Bangladesh Navy's Corvette tender in 2011. The Bangladesh Navy opted for a Chinese corvette offer.[citation needed]
- Indonesian Navy: The Indonesian government were interested in the Umkhonto-IR Block 2 system for the SIGMA class Corvette. But The MICA vertical launch air defence missile was chosen instead.[citation needed]

Anyway, for those who do not read him, I like to periodically collect some of his recent analysis of the nature of bullshit (just that, not the substance of the fights, which you can find in the original) that reminds me of the fights that I write about. For example, from his blog:
I view the primary race through the lens of the FOF theory — that's for "fools and frauds". It goes as follows: to be a good Republican right now, you have to affirm your belief in things that any halfway intelligent politician can see are plainly false. This leaves room for only two kinds of candidates: those who just aren't smart and/or rational enough to understand the problem, and those who are completely cynical, willing to say anything to get ahead
.....So what you have are fairly dim types like Perry, on the one side, and the utterly cynical Romney, on the other. (Gingrich manages to be both a fool and a fraud).Sound familiar, dear readers? That seems to be the same qualifications for being part of the establishment anti-harm-reduction tobacco regulation authorities, like the "expert" panel and other US FDA decision makers that I talked at last week. I wonder what would happen if I started a poll of who among those regulators is fool and who is fraud.
In another recent blog, Krugman reminded us of why (even beyond the above naming of names) he will never be a Senator or Secretary of the Treasury, even though he should be:
...this is an example of why policy debate is so frustrating, and why I'm not polite. The key thing about how the conservative movement handles debate is that it never gives up an argument, no matter how often and how thoroughly it has been refuted. Oh, there will be more sophisticated arguments made too; but the zombie lies will be rolled out again and again, with little or no pushback from the "respectable" wing of the movement.
This came out at a time when I was trying to explain to a discussion board populated mostly be lefty activists why industrial wind turbines are so bad. The conversation, such as it was, ran like this (highly paraphrased and abbreviated obviously):
In comments and elsewhere I fairly often encounter the pearl-clutchers, who want to know why I can't politely disagree, since we're all arguing in good faith, right? Wrong.
Possibly well-meaning person who might genuinely care about the truth: "But coal is so terrible."
Me: "I agree, but IWTs can do basically nothing to reduce the use of coal because...
. The best way to reduce coal use right now is to replace it with gas. At best IWTs perhaps reduce the burning of gas a bit."
Now clearly doctrinaire, though perhaps still well meaning person: "If there is any benefit at all in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, it is worth doing."
Me: "The only studies I know that actually do the numbers suggest there is not such benefit, and if there is, it is tiny, comes at the expense of creating serious health problems and destroying communities, and costing a fortune that could be better spent elsewhere."
Now clearly not a genuinely well-meaning person: "Quit your whining about hurting people. Coal and global warming are terrible."
Zombie lies do not even require a few days or weeks before they pop up again. Sometimes they circle back just a day and few posts after they were refuted in the very same conversation. And as for the pearl-clutchers:
Me: "What part of 'does not actually address those problems to any significant extent' eluded you? I have made this as simple as possible."(Ok, I obviously added that last bit of subtext myself, but it does sum things up nicely.)
Random person who has never bothered to join the substantive conversation, to me: "You are a complete arrogant asshole. How dare you tell people that you are right and they are wrong just because you are extensively citing the science based on your decades of relevant expertise and they are merely quoting from bumper stickers."
Dealing with zombie lies is like trying to reason with a three-year-old. And there is something about it that is much more bothersome than other forms of bullshit.
Consider: In this particular case, there is no push-back from anyone respectable, by which I mean that no environmental group I am aware of has had the balls to step up and say that installing IWTs is a bad policy that does little or nothing for the environment and clearly does more harm than good. They do not have to actively oppose it, but they need to explicitly dis-support it. Until they do, I (and lots of others, from what I can tell) will refuse to support the "green" agenda, by donating money, signing petitions, etc.
Why such a strong reaction? We all join, donate to, and cast votes for groups and people who have some policies that we tend to disagree with, and speak politely of some of our opponents. Why do I et al. change our politics and Krugman et al. lash out about these? I think it is because of how particularly maddening it is to try to deal with someone who should be an honest adult, but who is arguing like a petulant three-year-old who just cycles through his "arguments" while ignoring the responses to them. It makes polite disagreement impossible.
This is compounded by the violent reaction of some others to any attempt to treat the zombie lies with the disdain they deserve. As Krugman put it, some people...
...start from the presumption that when people...make strong statements, that they must have a defensible model behind their assertions. And so if someone...says that there is no such defensible model, we must be engaged in a "rant", treating these people unfairly. .... So what purports to be a demand for fair-minded argument ends up, in practice, being a demand that we pretend to find a coherent position where none exists, that we basically invent a high-minded debate out of thin air.
As a final point, this has gotten me thinking about the much decried tendency of internet communities to separate people into like-minded subgroups who never talk to each other. Maybe it has less to do with a desire for reinforcement, as is usually claimed. Many of us quite like the opportunity to present our thoughts to people who do not agree. But we depend on them being honest and open-minded, or at least possessed of a deep enough position that they mount a valid argument, rather than being fools or frauds who just repeat zombie lies. Indeed, a large majority of people I present thoughts to are indeed honest and open-minded, I genuinely believe. But enough of the loud-mouths are not. And when you try to call bullshit on the fools/frauds, you trigger the pearl-clutchers who freak out about "rants".
At some point, dealing with that just becomes intolerable. So it just becomes easiest to stick to forums where everyone's views and intellectual capacities are fairly well aligned already. Indeed, I anticipate it is pretty likely I will leave the group that produced the dialogue above. Poor Krugman, though, has to stick with dealing with economic policy makers; at least the enormous speaking fees must be some consolation.

The title of this editorial is cinematographic, mimicking the movie of William Franklin The French Connection (1971), and expressive, in that it is an indication that this issue of the Journal of Medicine and Cinema mainly stems from Argentina, since most authors are from that country.
The first of them, Merino Vasiloff et al., deals with the experience of teaching virology at the School of Medicine of the Universidad Nacional del Nordeste1. This article directly tackles one of the primary aims of this publication; the promotion of the training of students and health professionals making use of films, an aim that has been mote than fulfilled over time. The choice of the film And the Band Played on (1993), a docudrama exploring the first moments of the ADIS pandemic, is an apt decision. These experiences are transposable in view of the change in university education currently taking place in Europe in accordance with the Bologna Accord.
Biopics about doctors allow much scope and a common theme within this is the approach to more or less well known professionals in the field who, if not portrayed on the screen, might only occupy a couple of lines in our memory. D'Ottavio Cattani proposes a look at Henirette Faver Caven through two short films directed by Lídice Pérez López: Enriqueta Faber (1998) and Favez (2004). The access of women to university education has been an undoubted topic in gender equality, an aspect denied by few in western civilization but one that has with time kindled much debate. These documentaries tell how Dr. Faver Caven had to dress as a man to achieve her aims2.
Using a very special cinematographic genre –a musical adapting opera– Botasso analyses the adaptation made by Franco Zeffirelli in 1986 of Shakespeare's Othello, using the opera of Giuseppe Verdi and Arrigo Boito. This author is able to scrutinise the psychopathological scaffolding of the three main characters in the film, the opera and drama. He thus shows that in many films, with perspicacity, it is possible to discover more aspects than could be imagined a priori from their titles of foreseeable contents3.
The last article, by Moratal Ibáñez et al., addresses issues of great importance in the current society, and eventually in medicine; namely, obesity, diet, constitutional types, self-esteem, poor working conditions and their repercussions on health… The authors accomplish this using Real Women Have Curves (2002), by Patricia Cardoso4. Owing to its social impact, this film passed from the small to the big screen,, as was the case of And the Band Played on.
This issue ends with the presentation of the posters of some Argentinean films in which the presence of different diseases, some of them autochthonous, is a key aspect in the development of the action5.
These articles are referents of the Argentinean link, which is what the term Connection means. However, this host of ideas goes further. The present issue only reflects a trajectory that began when the Journal of Medicine and Movies was first set up. One of the Editorial Secretaries is Argentinean and regarding the number of visits to the different articles Spain and Argentina, they are at the forefront.
There is no question that physicians from both sides of the ocean have contributed strongly to the Journal and their contributions can be read with the different ways used to construct the Spanish of the different regions of both countries, and listening to the different accents.

Andy Stott, Manager of the Adoption Register for England & Wales, takes us through how the service runs and the difference it is making to the lives of vulnerable children.
The Adoption Register is an important national tool for local authorities in finding families for looked after children in need of adoption. The Register is run by BAAF on behalf of the Department for Education and the Welsh Assembly Government. It has been run by BAAF for over five years, and I have been the manager throughout this period.
Previously I had managed a local authority adoption team. I made the move because I felt strongly that the Register could make a real difference to the lives of harder to place children.
At the beginning of August 2010 there were around 1100 children on the Register, and each day we get between 15 and 20 new referrals from local authorities. These children are typically of school age, to be placed with brothers and sisters, disabled and/or from a black and minority ethnic background. They are children for whom their local authority has been unable, or is unlikely, to find a family locally.
At the beginning of August, there were also around 820 approved prospective adopters on the Register. Prospective adopters can be referred to the Register by their adoption agency, or they can refer themselves. However, it is important to note that not all approved prospective adopters, or children in need of adoption, come to the notice of the Register (see Adoption Register for further details of the targeted referral system).
The role of the Register team is to identify potential matches between prospective adopters and children on the Register. Over the last five years or so, more than 1150 children have been matched at local authority adoption panel as a result of potential matches identified by the Register. This is a significant achievement, and the Register has now become an integral part of the adoption family finding process in England and Wales.
The Register team also holds a number of adoption exchange days every year. At exchange days approved prospective adopters can look at the profiles of children awaiting adoption and discuss these with the children's social workers, and sometimes see DVD's of them as well.
We held two national exchange days at the start of July in Manchester and London. These were attended by over 150 prospective adopters and 50 local authorities. Exchange days bring children to life for adopters. At such an event, it is not unusual for up to 20 children to be matched with families in a single day.
Details of future exchange days can be found on the website.

The last week or so has been a crazy one, which explains why I haven't stopped by and posted anything here for a bit. The truth is, I have started a couple of new and very exciting ventures, and I haven't taken the time to sort out a new routine. For a couple of days I was feeling as if I was being spun around in the dryer – perpetual spin cycle. It can be fun and exciting, but also exhausting after awhile. I spent a couple of days walking around literally feeling dizzy – mimicking the spin cycle analogy perfectly. I have spent the last two days trying to get grounded, set my feet on solid ground again. I thought I'd share a few of the tips I have used to support myself in this process.
1. Drink water – a lot of water! I know now, after paying attention to myself, that when I drink at least 8 glasses of water a day, I feel more energetic, and more focused, and I am significantly less stressed out. I have a large mug of herbal tea first thing in the morning. Then I fill a one litre water bottle with a quarter of a lemon and water – and drink it throughout the day. Makes all the difference.
2. Spend the time making a plan. I am not by nature a particularly organized person, but if I focus and pour some energy into the process, I can create a lovely routine and plan that I can follow. And when I have that plan in place, I am able to relax and go with the flow – which is much more my personality. But the plan has to come first, I have learned this over the years. Some of the key things I plan are a week of meals for the family, I make lists of what tasks I need to do and exactly at what time I will do them, and I create a daily routine that allows me to get all the things I want to accomplish completed.
3. Have a massage. I went yesterday morning to have a massage by the amazing Lisa. I could only squeeze in 60 minutes, but it was 60 minutes of pure heaven. She was able to work out the knots in my body, while I lay in peace and worked out the knots in my head. THE BEST FEELING!!
4. Find a song to motivate and inspire you. I've had several theme songs over the years, some are an anthem for a particular year or two (like Love Inc.'s "You're a Superstar" from February 1998 to June 1999), and some get me through a week or even a day. The last few weeks it has been "100 years" by Five for Fighting. Puts things into perspective for me, gets me paying attention to what really matters! Love a theme song!
Those are my top 4 tips for getting through the crazies! There are lots more ideas and tips I use, but those are the foundational pieces. Next time you're in spin cycle, give them a try and see if you and your life stop spinning!

In my home, we're commemorating St. Nicholas Day today by making homemade hot cocoa and watching "The Polar Express" based on Chris Van Allsburg's beautiful book! By the way, this year marks the 25th anniversary of this book -- it's officially a classic! Click on the image below to visit the author's web page:
On a totally separate note . . . it's no secret that I'm a big fan of Getting Nerdy with Mel and Gerdy -- the science teachers I wish I had! And I'm over-the-moon about their Saturday Nerd Libs weekly link-up! (My wedding RSVPs were mad-lib style, so I especially adore this idea and its nod to literacy!)
So without further ado, here's my first Saturday mad-lib . . .
Incidentally, my vehicle is nicknamed Chitty Chitty Bang Bang because I have a penchant for flying (otherwise known as a lead foot).
Here's a photo of the mad-lib-style RSVPs for my wedding . . .
And here's a photo of my year-old kitten, Frodo, who acquired his name because he is unusually small but has huge eyes and huge feet, and he's very brave and adventurous!
Read mad-libs from other Teacher-Bloggers at the link-up on Mel and Gerdy's blog -- you may discover a favorite new blogger!
Leave me a comment and let me know how you and your family celebrate St. Nicholas Day . . . or leave me a link to your Saturday mad-lib!

Music links
The Sixpounder came into life in the year 2006, in Wroclaw. The band was formed by two individuals – guitarist and songwriter Pawel Ostrowski and vocalist Filip Salapa. The latest line-up formed in 2008 with the addition of guitarist Michal Wozniak, bassist Jaroslaw Grzeszczyk and drummer Artur Konarski. With the line-up completed the band started touring.
In 2010 the band recorded it's debut album "Going To Hell? Permission Granted!", which the band released later in 2011. During the same year, the lead singer of The Sixpounder took part in the first edition of "The Voice Of Poland" where he has been scouted by Universal Music Group, who later on offered to re-release the debut album making The Sixpounder the first Polish metal band to be released by the label.
By the end of 2013, The Sixpounder started recording its second album titled "The Sixpounder". The album featured guests Jacek Hiro (Sceptic), Vogg (Decapitated) & Peter (VADER). Mix and mastering has been made by Jacek Miłaszewski (Chimp Studio), and Universal Music has released the album. The album was promoted by very popular singles - "The Hourglass" i "Dead Man Walking".
The band was on tour with Decapitated, Materia and Thy Disease on the verge of 2014/2015 and continued promoting its second, self-titled album.
In August of 2015 the band started recording their third studio album "True To Yourself" in Custom 34, while the mixing and mastering is taken care of by Daniel Bergstrand, the man known for sounds of Dimmu Borgir, Behemoth, Meshuggah or In Flames.
The first single from the third album was released in February 2016, titled "True To Yourself". The album is to be released in March 2016 also by Universal Music Poland.
At the same time, the band is starting the TRUE TO YOURSELF TOUR 2016, which it will headline. The tour is supported by Deadpoint and Shodan and has 16 shows across Poland.

"Metal i piekło" - full album, in 10 best albums from 80"s by TeamRock
www. teamrock.com/feature/2016-07-19/the-10-best-black-metal-albums-from-the-1980s
Video made by their fan
The most important band in Polish thrash metal music was formed in the year 1980. From the moment their debut singles "Last camp / Devil's nights" were released, they received important exposure from local Radio Katowice. That session instigated many a rock festival appearance for the band. KAT's successful performance as part of the Jarocin Rock Festival in 1981 resulted in them winning the acclaimed Audience Prize.
With their popularity in the singles market rising, KAT toured with Finnish legends HANOI ROCKS. Their performances were met with rapturous reviews and lead to the recording of their debut album "Metal and hell" for Belgian Ambush Records (May 1986), and the Polish version titled: "666" for Musical Club "Razem". This was an important precursor for the publishing house, leading to their eventual establishment of & in Polish thrash metal.
KAT was joined to Metal Mind Productions, and in May played at Metalmania -the biggest Polish festival with HELLOWEEN, OVERKILL, and RUNNING WILD. This alliance was to inspire some very spectacular and innovative concerts which even incorporated the use of ballet.
As headliners of the Jarocin Rock Festival in 1986, the band starred in a documentary film for BBC Television entitled: "My blood, your blood". This program was dedicated to Polish rock music.
In 1987, KAT played in Katowice twice- Spodek with METALLICA and at the Metalmania Festival.That same year they released "38minutes of life" comprising the highlights of these two shows.
The successive album "Breath of extinct worlds", released in 1989, marked an exceptional progression in KAT..s direction.This album displayed a tendency towards a much more modern sound. Musical differences caused the band to take a break for two years but in 1992 KAT returned with a vengeance releasing the groundbreaking, genre-defying album ."Bastard", proving they were always one step ahead and a force to be reckoned with. That Summer KAT issued "Ballads", which revealed their more sensitive side.
Legendary Polish rock music composer JOZEF SKRZEK (SBB) participated in the recording of this album. An extensive tour followed the album's release culminating with a concert with MOTORHEAD in Zabrze city.
1996 heralded the release of the monumental, lofty and multi-layered album "Roses of love mostly grow on graves".
1998 was the year of "Jeerings mirror.", followed by an intensive touring schedule.
In 2000, KAT underwent a line-up change with the departure of their guitarist who they replaced in 2003 when they hit the road once more with the successful " KAT on tour again". In November 2003 the band appeared at the Mistic Festival with IRON MAIDEN, which resulted in the appropriately titled DVD album "Somewhere in Poland" (2004).
A year later, KAT changed the name on KAT & Roman Kostrzewski.
Their last official release was a DVD concert taken from the Mega Club in Katowice (April 2007) from the previous tour which ended in February- March of the next year.
"White-Black" is the latest release study team yet been recorded for the July-December 2010. Album was released by Mystic Productions in March 2011, rising to third place in the ranking of best-selling albums in Poland. The band visited London, Dublin, and other Europen cities along with
The year 2013 is the year in which the team celebrated 33rd anniversary playing along with fans from the Sea to the Tatra mountains and from the east to the west of the country.
"Rarities" is the latest (released in November 2013) and perversely oldest publishing house band. The CD contains songs not yet been recorded since the 80s, and never before published. The culmination of this album is a tour of "Rarities Tour 2014", which will be presented much of the material from this album.
Also in 2014, the band has released an acoustic album "Buk- akustycznie". The album quickly became the bestseller.
In 2015, going along with new trends, the band has re-recorded with new arrangements album "666". And again, there was a warm welcome to the new album, followed up with many concerts promoting it.
In the mean time there was a change of the guitarist, in place of Piotr Radecki came Jacek Hiro with whom KAT & RK is finishing a totally new album.

Biologist, David Bickford, said studying the animal could help shed light on how lungs evolved in the first place.
"The evolution of lunglessness in tetrapods (amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals) is exceedingly rare, previously known only from amphibians - two families of salamanders and a single species of caecilian (blindworm)," they wrote.
"Here we report the first case of complete lunglessness in a frog, Barbourula kalimantanensis, from the Indonesian portion of Borneo."

Iran's oil revenues during the Iranian calendar year of 1390, which ended on March 19, 2012, amounted to $118 billion, according to official statistics.
An Iranian Oil Tanker
And the Islamic Republic's oil revenues during the first quarter of the current Iranian calendar year (March 20-June 20) amounted to $19.8 billion, the Fars News Agency reported, citing official statistics.
Exports of natural gas and oil products stood at $1.1 billion during the 3-month period, showing a 101 percent rise compared to the figure for the corresponding period in the previous year.
MP Gholamreza Mesbahi-Moqaddam, who is the chairman of the Iranian parliament's Economic Committee, has put the current volume of oil sales at around 1.03 million barrels per day, but says that the current target is 2.5 million barrels per day.
On October 29, Iran's OPEC governor, Mohammad-Ali Khatibi, said that the country's oil exports have remained steady in recent months. "Iran's oil exports are the same as in previous months and the situation is stable," ISNA quoted Khatibi as saying.
The West has been pressuring Iran to halt the uranium enrichment component of its nuclear program, claiming that the program could be diverted to nuclear weapons production.
But Iran is a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and thus has the right to enrich uranium to produce fuel.
And the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has conducted numerous inspections of Iran's nuclear facilities but has never found any evidence showing that Iran's civilian nuclear program has been diverted to nuclear weapons production.
At the beginning of 2012, the United States and the European Union imposed new sanctions on Iran's oil and financial sectors with the goal of preventing other countries from purchasing Iranian oil and conducting transactions with the Central Bank of Iran.
U.S. sanctions entered into force on June 28, while EU bans on Iranian oil imports came into force on July 1.
In October, the EU approved another major package of economic sanctions on Iran.
In June, the Central Bank of Iran announced that its net assets were valued at around 594 trillion rials (about $48.1 billion) in the first quarter of the Iranian calendar year.
The bank said that the figure had decreased by 3.4 percent compared to the same period in the previous year.
It has also put the value of foreign debt at around $22.9 billion.

New report finds that assisted households as a whole are more likely to live near low performing schools than other households. In an attempt to find the relationship between federally assisted households and proximity to high performing schools, Ingrid Gould Ellen and Keren Mertens Horn of the Furman Center for Real Estate and Urban Policy at New York University examined the four programs that comprise the majority of federal housing assistance: Public Housing, Project based Section 8, Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) and Housing Choice Vouchers.
Their report- Do Federally Assisted Households Have Access to High Performing Public Schools? -found that ironically, Housing Choice Voucher holders do not tend to live near higher performing schools when compared with households that receive other forms of housing assistance despite the fact that vouchers are intended to provide recipients with the opportunity to move into better neighborhoods. Data tables for Connecticut and its Metropolitan Statistical Areas, including Bridgeport, Hartford and New Haven, show a similar pattern.
Other findings include:
Overall, the findings indicate that assisted households do not tend to live near high performing schools but instead live in neighborhoods with lower performing schools than renters and other poor households. However, the study is based on data from 2008-09 and does not include improvements that the Department of Housing and Urban Development and state housing agencies have made to those programs in the past four years.

I love thinking back on our wedding day, and Wade and I talk about it often. We joke now about how shell-shocked we both were right after we left the chapel as the photographer followed us around telling us to do some crazy pose. Weddings are whirlwinds and wonderful celebrations to bring all of your loved ones together to share in your special day, but marriages are something even more special. They don't get as much of the limelight since they're not as flashy or finite, but if you're lucky they'll keep going and going.
Not every day is perfect. I've been annoyed and angry at times. However, I can honestly say that in the past 6 years, I've never been happier. I love how I have this one person to share all my thoughts and dreams with. A best friend to go on adventures with, to make my life so fulfilling and fun. When I think about how we met by happenstance in a crowded bar, I know that there is something greater than us out there that guided us towards each other. Who would have guessed we'd be where we are on that day so long ago when I first spotted him and thought that he was way too cool for me. He was wearing a blazer after all.

I was at West High School last week for an educational awards ceremony and on my way out I ran into Helen Garcia, also known as Grandma.
"You have to meet this student," she says, taking my elbow. "She was nominated for an award but she couldn't be here because she had a baseball game."
Baseball, she says. Not softball. Grandma propels me toward the refreshment table. "She hasn't missed a single day of school since kindergarten," she says, presenting me to West High senior Jeri Salas, her mother, Norma, and father, Reyes.
Not a single day? I ask, and before Jeri can answer, her mother says, "Not one day."
Jeri gives me a shy smile. She is still in her baseball uniform, lovely, round-faced like a Japanese doll.
Mom says: "She's the only girl on the baseball team. The only girl in the whole district playing baseball."
Have we written about you before? I ask Jeri.
No, mom answers. "She's also been the captain of the volleyball team for three years and she's West's head girl this year and she's running for prom queen."
Wow, I say. Have you always been such a go-getter? "Yes," mom says, so proud she can't stop herself from jumping in. "Yes, she has."
Mom and dad beam. Jeri looks at me. Her expression suggests she would like to crawl beneath the refreshment table. She glances at her parents. It's one of those complicated teenage looks, caught someplace between mortification, gratitude and boundless, helpless love.
Jeri went out for the baseball team her sophomore year. Her reasons were practical. The softball schedule conflicted with volleyball and she wanted to play volleyball . . .
What if I try out for baseball, she asked her parents. They graduated from West in 1976 and 1977, high school sweethearts.
That's with boys, her father said.
I know, Jeri said.
If you play ball, you're going to stay with it, her mother said. Finish what you start, that's the Salas way.
What do you think, Jeri asked baseball and softball coach Richard Chainhalt. Bring your gloves and cleats, he told her. Shouldn't you be playing softball, the boys on the team said when she showed up. Then she started hitting.
She plays second base and is the only female player in Denver Public Schools this year, Coach says. "She earned her spot on the team. It wasn't given to her."
He tells me she played 11 of 18 varsity games this year and started seven of those 11. "We're the West Cowboys and we have a saying here, 'Cowboys from the heart.' Jeri embodies that to a T."
The girl he met when she was a freshman, the one so shy she could not look people in the eye, has become a role model, a school leader.
"People underestimate me a lot," Jeri says. "In baseball, you know, other teams expect me to be a bad player. So when I don't have a good game, I beat myself up because I know that's exactly what people expected. It's the same for West. People don't expect us to do well. So, that's part of our mentality here, you know, 'We're just West.' I think that's why I stepped into so many leadership positions, to fight that, to show people we can do it."
Jeri started a club in her sophomore year. She called it the Statistic Resistance Project. It was in response to the various statistics damning lower-income, minority students, and was presented as a challenge to her fellow students. "I'm not going to be a statistic — are you?"
She has a 4.3 grade-point average and is fourth in her class. And, yes, she's had perfect attendance since kindergarten. One of her teachers suggested she make a deal with her parents: Perfect attendance in exchange for a new car.
You going to hold them to that?
"I think so," she says.
What kind of car?
"I don't know. It won't be new. Something we can afford."
Jeri graduates May 24 and is headed to the University of Northern Colorado to study nursing. She'll be her family's first college student.
As our conversation winds down, I ask her if she has anything she wants to add. She does: "I just want my fellow students to know you can set your own path. In high school, in college, in life, don't be afraid. Don't be held back 'cause of what people say, 'cause of what you hear. Make it what you want."
Jeri helped organize a spring sports rally at the school Friday. Pumping music. Games. Clouds of dry ice. The baseball boys telling me she is the team's heart. Jeri looking sheepish.
The team gathers at center court and Coach introduces them, ending with Jeri, jersey No. 1.
Yea, her team cheers. Yea, the kids in the stands cheer. Jeri takes a step forward, gives that little smile of hers and raises her arms in the air.

I have also ordered several new things for the seaside house, today I'm going to show you the bathroom. Before there was only the shower and the shelf.
The washbasin with the piece of furniture and the mirror are from Elf Miniatures.
I chose this washbasin because it's what I would like in my bathroom.
In the future I may paint the seat and the piece of furniture with the washbasin.
And there is even light, a LED battery light.
I realize that the next photos are not very good,
but I wanted to show that the light is on in the bathroom.
I'm glad to have at last a real bathroom.
Bon dimanche! - Have a nice Sunday!

Yahoo! co-founder Jerry Yang has stepped down from the search giant's board and "all other positions" at the company, effective immediately.
"The time has come for me to pursue other interests outside of Yahoo!" Yang said in a letter announcing his resignation to board chairman, Roy Bostock.
Yang's resignation comes a fortnight after the appointment of PayPal president Scott Thompson as CEO, though Yang claimed in the letter that he was "enthusiastic" about Thompson's appointment.
"I am grateful for the warm welcome and support Jerry provided me during my early days here," Thompson said in a statement.
Yang has held various roles at the company since founding it with Stanford classmate David Filo in 1995, including a short stint as CEO between 2007 and 2009.
His resignation also affects roles he currently holds on the boards of Yahoo Japan and Alibaba Group.
Yahoo! announced Yang's decision after close of trade on NASDAQ on Tuesday evening but shares climbed as much as 6.8 percent in after-hours trading.

Meat Sauce with Roasted Zucchini and Farfalle
I work. I commute. I cook. Five days a week. Ok, sometimes I cook just four. Some nights, the only thing I can muster up the energy to make is meat sauce over zucchini and farfalle. It's my "one step away from ordering a pizza" meal.
So let me set the week night stage at Chez du Pont. The cooking often begins while I am trying to let my toddler run out his last bit of energy before he is shipped off to bed. Consequently, as I begin the cooking process, I am interrupted about every 30 seconds by a white haired little boy tugging on my pant leg and screaming his latest want.
Once he is sleeping with angels, we then move into the homework stage. As my daughter, poignantly announced to me the other night: "Mom, what is more important, cooking or math? Do you even have to think about it??" I wasn't about to quibble with a 5 year old.
So….given its place in the family heirarchy, our weeknight meal doesn't always get the attention it deserves, because, well, my daughter deserves the attention more. Also, as you might imagine, whatever I cook, I need to make it snappy. Because something that should take 20 minutes, can often take 30 to 40 when you are multi-tasking. And people are always hungry.
I've been known on nights where I am particularly tired to brown a pound of some lean ground meat and throw a high end tomato basil sauce over the top (like Rao's) and let it simmer. I will then call this meat sauce — served with some veggie and/or pasta –dinner. And no one complains. In fact, everyone usually enjoys it and there are always leftovers for the kids.
I was headed in this direction one night this week. My meat was just about browned. My daughter was working on her word sorts with a little help from multi-tasking mommy. And then… my go to sauce was no where to be found!!! It was a small crisis. I had created my own top chef challenge, unintentionally.
But sometimes my creativity gets really flowing under pressure. I'm a litigator after all. Well, in a matter of a minute, I had a large can of crushed tomatoes open and poured over the meat. I was quickly and generously shaking in dried oregano and basil and garlic powder. Then a few lonely green olives that had been hanging around in the refrigerator got chopped and went into the pot. Hmm, still going to be bland. In went some salt and pepper. I looked at the Cholula (Step away from the hot sauce, Julie…) And then, I saw IT as I was rifling through my cabinet of canned and jarred goods that had enjoyed a lengthy shelf life. Cue the trumpets! Into the pot went about 3 tablespoons of Trader Joe's Red Pepper and Artichoke Tapenade.
I crossed my fingers and let the concoction simmer as I went back to helping with the homework.
Now, a short word about zucchini. I love to serve meat sauce over roasted zucchini that has been tossed in a little oil, pepper and grated Parmesan and roasted in the oven. It takes 2 minutes to prep, about 20 minutes to cook and it reduces the amount of pasta you eat. In fact, sometimes we eat no pasta at all. That wasn't the case this week. I served my "secret" meat sauce concoction with Barilla Plus multi-grain farfalle with omega-3 (good for the developing brain, particularly if eaten while playing a math game) AND roasted zucchini.
Success! My daughter enthustastically announced (unprompted, no less) a few things at the start of our meal and math game (It's "Fall 4 Math" week at OxRidge School). 1. "Math is fun!" (phew!). 2. "Mom, you are the best mom in the whole galaxy!" (Hardly, but :)). 3. "This is the best pasta with meat sauce I've ever had!"
So on the next week night when you find yourself reaching for the phone to order that pizza, rethink it. Reach for some Trader Jo's Tapenade and make this "secret" meat sauce with roasted zucchini and farfalle. It doesn't need or require a lot of love, but it is yummy nonetheless.
Finally, a word to my loyal readers. Those who aren't loyal can stop reading.
You will notice a new category on my home page called "Week Night." I realize that this blog is called "Weekend Table." But as one of my very good friends pointed out to me, people that like to entertain on the weekend may also appreciate very easy week night recipes that can be made in little time with little energy as well. And I got a fairly good response to my Spicy Black Beans with Zucchini and Flank Steak posting, which certainly falls in that category. So I figured I would give it a go. These "Week Night" recipes are not showstoppers. They are tasty dinners for the family or for good friends you don't need to impress. They include tricks for using up leftovers or may contain a "secret" (perhaps time saving. . or rescue. . . or better yet umami) ingredient. Let me know if you'd like to see more of these.
- 1 lb ground lean meat (e.g., 93% lean ground beef or ground turkey)
- 1 28 oz can of crushed tomatoes
- 1 tbsp dried basil
- ½ tbsp dried
- 4-6 green olives chopped (optional)
- 3 tbsp Trade Joe's Roasted Red Peppers and Artichoke Tapenade
- ½ box Farfalle
- 2 zucchini, chopped
- 1 tbsp grated parmesan
- Ground pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Shaved parmesan
- Brown the meat in a sauce pan, approximately 5 minutes.
- Add the crushed tomatoes, basil, garlic powder, oregano, tapenade and olives and salt and pepper to taste.
- Bring meat sauce to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook pasta according to directions. Combine chopped zucchini, parmesan, pepper. Place on a baking sheet and cook on 425 for approximately 20 minutes.
- Spoon pasta and zucchini into a shallow bowl. Top with meat sauce and shaved parmesan.


text: I bought the StowAway MAX Cargo Carrier ($760) for my X to go on a road trip from the LA area to the Colorado river in Laughlin, recently. I was a little worried about how it would work out, so I thought I'd share my experience here (which was good). It holds 16 cu. ft. andup to 200 lb of luggage inside. You can get the version of the carrier that swings away from the car (which I did). Makes it easier to load stuff into your trunk with the carrier attached. However, I was able to open and close the trunk, even without swinging the carrier out of the way. You will likely need to have the full tow package installed, as the carrier itself weighs 94lb, and with it fully loaded, you're talking about holding up to 300lb of tongue weight. I believe that is over what the "accessory hitch" is able to handle? The carrier comes with an electrical connection for brake, left/right blinkers, but is in a wiring configuration known as "4 flat." The Model X electronic connection is what's known as a "7 way round," so you'll need an adapter. I used this one for $8. The carrier comes with a standard bolt to hold the carrier safely on the X's tow hitch, however if you're planning to leave the carrier attached during your travels, you'll probably want to do what we did, and spend $20 to get a receiver lock. My primary concern was whether I would have a hard time Supercharging, due to the increased depth. My route to Laughlin was set to take me to the Barstow and Needles SC. Barstow has 8 stations, 4 are pull-through, and 4 are back in. We arrived here, and were able to use one of the pull-through spots, so no worries there. Needles SC was a bit scarier, because I couldn't really tell from the photos online whether or not the SC cable would reach, but we had no problems! On the way back, the X took us on a different route, going through Primm, NV instead of Needles, and then back through Barstow. Primm, like Needles, only had back-in stations, and when we got to Barstow, all pull-throughs were taken, so we had to back in here as well. In all 3 locations, we had no problems backing in to charge! Forgot to snap one on our pass back through Barstow, this is Primm: I can't guarantee it will work at all SC, I could see where it might be difficult if the Tesla parking sign was too far forward or something, but one other option you might have in that situation would be to have a passenger swing the carrier out completely, opening up more of the rear/center of the vehicle area to allow for backing in further. We didn't have to do it this trip, though. Hope this helps.

About the Center for Plant Conservation
The mission of the Center for Plant Conservation is to conserve and restore the imperiled native plants of the United States to secure them from extinction.
The Center for Plant Conservation (CPC) is dedicated solely to preventing the extinction of U.S. native plants. The Center was one of the first organizations created to meet this need. The Center is a network of more than 40 leading botanic institutions. Founded in 1984, the Center operates the only coordinated national program of off-site (ex situ) conservation of rare plant material. This conservation collection ensures that material is available for restoration and recovery efforts for these species. CPC also works in research, restoration, technical assistance, education and advocacy through the efforts of the network and the national office.
Almost 1,000 U.S. plant species are already listed under the federal Endangered Species Act or qualify for listing. Without human intervention, many of these species may be gone within our lifetime. Research by CPC has shown that 80 percent of the at-risk plants of the United States are closely related to plants with economic value somewhere in the world, and more than 50 percent are related to crop species.
What We Do
The cooperative CPC network maintains the National Collection of Endangered Plants. Believed to be the largest living collection of rare plants in the world, the collection contains more than 1,400 of America's most imperiled native plants. Live plant material is collected from nature under controlled conditions and then carefully maintained as seed, rooted cuttings or mature plants. Network institutions conduct horticultural research and carefully monitor these materials so that imperiled plants can be grown and returned to natural habitats. Several CPC institutions are also involved in restoration projects in the field (in situ). Scientists are stabilizing current populations of imperiled plants and reintroducing new populations in appropriate habitats.
Why We Do It
These conservation efforts are undertaken to complement other preservation activities for our nation's flora, such as habitat protection and management. Off-site storage and cultivation of genetically appropriate plant material is a critical step in supporting restoration in the wild. The Center's goal is to protect the most imperiled U.S. plants from extinction and restore them to secure habitats in cooperation with multiple conservation agencies and organizations.

Nike is apparently ready to release Self Lacing Nike Mag inspired by Back to the Future II from the 80s.
Remember the movie franchise Back to the Future from the 80s? In Back to the Future II, Marty McFly (Micheal J. Fox) got a pair of self lacing Nike Air Mag. The movie promised these to be on the market in 2015. It looks like Nike is ahead of schedule and will unveil the Nike Air Mag already today, four years early.
Nike is holding a special event tonight in LA and has sent out elaborate invites to members of the press like NiceKicks. Additionally a video uploaded by Doc Emmett appeared showing shelves of 2011 Nike MAG shoes. Watch the Nike Air Mag teaser video below.
Nike has actually filed a patent last year for self lacing shoes. The big question is though if fans of the Back to the Future movies are no not too old to wear these sneakers? I hope you have kids. We will keep updating you on what could be the release of the most geeky shoe of the century.
Update 2:
Nike Air Mag already unveiled [Video]
Update 1:
This is going to be awesome. Michael J. Fox is on David Letterman's The Late Show tonight to announce the Nike Air Mag shoes. Via NiceKicks.
