So, I was digging around for recipes to tie in with one of my books. I so totally need to get a new book published because I’ve pretty much covered almost all of my books. Anyway, I came across this Chocolate-Zucchini Cake recipe and I had a 💡 moment. My good friend B.E. Sanderson is an absolute wizard when it comes to zucchini. She also writes awesome books. And she does a cool thing for other authors–she’ll buy, read, and review books by authors new to her whose books are underappreciated. Well, *I*love her books but yeah, she’s not that well known so hey, I’m featuring one of them today–SONG OF STORM AND SHROUD.
Total Time: 1 hr
Prep Time: 30 min
Cook Time: 30 min
Yield: 6 to 8 servings
Unsalted butter, for the pan
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for the pan
1/2 cup plus 1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (not Dutch process)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg or allspice
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/2 cup plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 medium zucchini, grated and squeezed dry
1 teaspoon honey
1 – Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the bottom and sides of a 9-inch-square cake pan. Dust the pan with flour, tapping out the excess.
2 -Toss 1/2 cup chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon flour in a small bowl. Whisk the remaining flour, the cocoa powder, salt, baking soda and nutmeg in a medium bowl; set aside.
3 -Beat the sugar, 1/2 cup olive oil, the eggs and vanilla in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until smooth and pale, about 3 minutes. Add the flour-cocoa mixture; beat on low speed until combined, about 2 minutes (the batter will be thick). Add the zucchini and beat until combined, about 2 more minutes. Fold in the flour-coated chocolate chips with a wooden spoon.
4 -Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely.
5 – Make the glaze: Combine the remaining 1/3 cup chocolate chips, 1 teaspoon olive oil and the honey in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on medium-high power in 30-second intervals, stirring, until the chocolate is melted. Spread over the cake, then cut into pieces.
I found this recipe on the Food Network website. There’s even a video. CLICK HERE for all the info. See, I’m not a big squash fan and will only occasionally eat fried zucchini, but in a chocolate cake? Oh yeah. I’m temped! And, since I immediately thought of B.E., I thought of the last book she published. It is an epic fantasy. It is suitable for teens and adults both. There are dragons and magic and kids fighting the evil that wants to take over their land. In other words, it is all kinds of awesome! And people need to read it. Heck, it’s only $4.99. You can barely buy a cup of coffee for that and this book will give you far more satisfcation and for a longer time than a cup of coffee would. So go buy her book. Fantasy not your thing? She also writes mystery, suspens, and dystopian thrillers. See? Something for everyone, just like this recipe. I mean, heck! HEALTHY chocolate cake! What’s not to love? Go grab a copy of SONG OF STORM AND SHROUD. Just click on any pic with the cover or the title. It’s available at a wide variety of on-line book sellers. Go now! You heard me. Shoo! Then make the cake and read the book. Easy peasy.
Oh, wow. Thank you. I totally wasn’t expecting this today. :sniffles: You rock. :hugs:
Hey, you and zucchini go hand in hand. 😉 And I DO love the dang book and want people to read it and share it with their kids. Stormy’s not quite there yet but I’ll be gifting him a copy for his Kindle probably for his b-day in a couple of months. 🙂
It seems like the perfect combination!
I thought so! LOL Of course, chocolate makes everything better. 😉
Love Zucchini ..sounds good….new author , cool.
Give both a try, Dawn. Good cake, good books! Great combination.


Unisa staff and students, media representatives and members of the public attended the bi-annual interactive session between the Chancellor of Unisa, former President Thabo Mbeki, and students of the Thabo Mbeki African Leadership Institute (TMALI) on 15 August 2019.
The Vice-Principal: Research, Postgraduate Studies, Innovation and Commercialisation, Prof Thenjiwe Meyiwa, opened the session and welcomed the Chancellor and guests.
The audience asked former President Mbeki questions on various topics, such as his view on the ministry of women in South Africa to deal with issues of gender, including femicide, allegations that “monopoly capital” bought and owns the president of the ANC and the Republic of South Africa, reviving a passion for Africa, and the use of African language philosophies by universities.
In addition, he was questioned on current affairs such as immigration and public violence by traders in Johannesburg, why Afrikaners are arming themselves, why some African leaders refuse to leave office and have to “be forced out”, whether western/liberal democracy works for Africa, and whether a five-year period is enough for elected governments to effect change.
Former President Mbeki, in response, said that he believed that there was no need for a separate ministry of women and that the president or a function in the president’s office is best placed to lead on women and gender mainstreaming issues as its impact will immediately be across government.
He further said the challenge with femicide might be linked to ineffective sentencing by courts: sentencing for crimes against women and children needs to send a strong message to the community that such acts against women and children are intolerable.


I have never heard of sulfur being used as any sort of lubricant. How does this work? Does it just make a coating over the metal parts, or is it something more involved where the sulfur reacts with the metal to make it more resistant to wear and tear?
Also, do they make synthetic gear oil for cars and trucks? I know a lot of car enthusiasts argue about what type of motor oil they use in their engines. How does the quality of synthetic gear oil compare to natural oil?

Final year Food Science and Technology students from Cardiff Metropolitan University have recently been awarded silver prize and £1,000 in the UK heat of Europe- wide competition, Ecotrophelia.
Ecotrophelia UK 2014 was the UK heat, of the Europe-wide competition, organised by UK food and drink research organisation, Campden BRI, in conjunction with the Institute of Food Science and Technology (IFST), the independent qualifying body for food professionals in Europe.
The competition challenges young people pursuing a career in the food industry to design an eco-friendly, innovative food or beverage product with commercial potential.
The team from Cardiff Met, Rebecca Inglis, Daniela Goetze and Rhiain Mumford all Food Science and Technology students showcased their 'Cwtch Circles' at the competition- biscuits with a sweet apple centre surrounded in biscuit and covered in milk chocolate. After presenting their product to a panel of top food industry experts- 'the dragons' the team were awarded the silver prize, with the Harper Adams team winning gold.
Professor Margaret Patterson, IFST President and Ecotrophelia judge said, ''Once again, the judges were all impressed by the excellent standard of the entries. It was clear that a great deal of creativity and hard work went into each project. These young food scientist and technologists will be a real asset to the future of our profession.''
Rebecca Inglis, team manager also commented on the success of the Cardiff Met team at the competition, ''the experience is one we shall never forget. From being wined and dined with famous leaders from house hold name food companies from around the world and then presenting our product before them, actually, even though it all sounds quite scary, was brilliant and exhilarating! Gold eluded us this year but we lay down the challenge for students from Cardiff Met to bring home Gold in future years.
We thank all the faculty at Cardiff School of Health Sciences for this amazing opportunity and a very special thank you goes to Dr Anita Setarehnejad for her support and encouragement''.

Fidel V. Ramos, then Defense Minister of Pres. Corazon Aquino, was the first high-level Malacanang official I covered as news writer and photographer for the Tribune.
It was in February of 1992 and I was then working for the construction company founded by now Mayor Sammy Laynes as Sustaining Technical Employee (STE) as required by the Philippine Contractor’s Adjudication Board (PCAB).
The governor at the time, former Ambassador Leandro Verceles Sr., had invited Secretary Ramos as keynote speaker and guest of honor during the Bicol Meet, the annual sports competition in the region.
It was during the opening ceremony that the elder Verceles, who was with son Leandro Jr. and then Vice Governor Teofisto Verceles, declared Ramos as the next President of the Philippines.
Naturally, I took photos of Ramos in action during the affair at the Catanduanes Athletic Complex.
Unfortunately for the governor, he was not in any of the pictures. I intentionally took shots of Ramos at the presidential table while Gov. Verceles was at the podium and then of the defense secretary when he finally spoke.
I was in a vengeful mood then, having been hailed to court along with the Tribune publisher, then PBM Fred Gianan Sr., and my mother, by a member of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan and close ally of the Verceleses for alleged possession of undocumented lumber at our Palnab farm.
Together with my friend Allan Ubalde, then appealing his and several others’ dismissal on a Capitol case, I followed the presidential convoy to San Andres town where Ramos spoke before a crowd at the town plaza.
The photos of Ramos (of course, with the governor unseen) as well as the headline story appeared in the next issue of the Tribune.
What happened in the next few months is history.
Ramos won handily as the new president, Gov. Verceles lost his reelection bid to former Gov. Rosalie Alberto-Estacio but his namesake son became congressman, a post he would hold for nine years before becoming a two-termer governor.
Last month marked a new high in coronavirus cases in Catanduanes since it recorded zero cases in March 2022.
July saw a total of 104 new COVID-19 cases, more than four times the 25 recorded in May.
And the very first day of August brought in 27 more, the highest daily total so far in this new surge of cases.
With local government units tasked with the responsibility of strictly implementing minimum health protocols, especially in schools which will soon hold face-to-face classes, health authorities have to make sure the LGUs do their jobs as well as the vaccination teams seek to surpass their targets in the revitalized COVID-19 vaccination program.
In the Bicol region, the provinces of Masbate and Camarines Sur has been placed under Alert Level 2 untill Aug. 15, with the rest under Alert Level 1.
When Catanduanes will breach the threshold for a higher classification is a certainty, considering the generally relaxed atmosphere that allows most of the islanders to do away with face masks in public.
Already, the COVID ward of the Eastern Bicol Medical Center is already full, according to reports.
It would be interesting to know when the Provincial COVID-19 Task Force chaired by Gov. Joseph Cua would convene to tackle the current surge and what countermeasures it would take to avoid the return of stringent restrictions on travel outside the province.
DYING REQUEST. Rudy was lying on his deathbed surrounded by his stunning young wife and their three children, all boys. Two were tall, good-looking, and athletic, but the third and youngest was short, homely, and extremely uncoordinated…
“Darling,” the husband whispered to his wife, struggling to get the words out, “Please, assure me that the youngest child is mine. I want to know the truth before I die. I’ll forgive you if…”
His wife calmly interrupted, “Yes, my dearest. I swear on my mother’s grave, without question, YOU are his father…”
Moments later, Rudy died peacefully…
Still by his side, Rudy’s grieving widow muttered under her breath, “Thank God he didn’t ask about the other two…”

March is National Craft Month. We would like to recognize all of our artisans, crafters and those who indulge as a hobby. I fall into the later category, I love scrapbooking and creating things for my home. I was exposed to embroidery at an earlier age. My grandmother embroidered pillow cases, and I was tasked with wrapping the thread about those little pieces of cardboard. You know the little pieces of cardboard that identified the thread color. She also did cross-stitching, which I started years ago.
I’m also an avid scrapbooker. The above picture is my grandson, who fell asleep after a Thunderbird’s air show. My scrapbooking has become an investment. I should buy stock in stickers, paper, embellishments and the Cricut. I love to scrapbook my travels and my grandchildren. I’m currently finishing a scrapbook of my trip to the Martin Luther King Center in Atlanta. There’s nothing better than creating great memories and being able to flip through a beautiful book as I reminisce. My family enjoys going through them as well. I’m hoping to add a sunroom off my kitchen this spring, which I will also use as my craft room. Stay tuned.
What are your favorite crafts? Is it a hobby or do you sell for profit? Leave me a comment, I would love to connect with fellow crafters.

Colossal UK supermarket chain Tesco has announced plans to stop stocking video games entirely in its 2,800 stores, contributing to the growing demise of physical software. Accordingly Sports Industry.Biz, the firm will begin churning out boxed PlayStation, Nintendo, and Xbox games immediately, meaning that once its current crop of stock is sold, there won’t be any more. It might be a good idea to check your local shop for discounts when it clears out its inventory!
Colossus said its decision hinged on a shift “toward digital entertainment.” It will continue to stock digital wallet top-ups for use on platforms like PS Store, but that would be the extent of its in-store video game offerings. Last month, the four biggest new releases in the UK – Diablo 4, Final Fantasy 16, Street Fighter 6, and F1 23 – sold just 18 per cent of their copies at retail, with the remaining 82 per cent bought digitally.
While Tesco’s decision won’t come as a surprise, it’s only going to help accelerate the shift to digital, which is now snowballing. While we don’t expect physical releases to go away completely anytime soon, it’s clear that they’re becoming more and more niche — and you should probably expect more digital-only launches going forward. Because it’s already happening with big titles like Alan Wake. 2.

“The Highwaymen” is a Netflix film written by John Fusco and directed by John Lee Hancock. Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson star as two former Texas Rangers tasked with bringing in the infamous and murderous Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow in 1934. Kathy Bates plays Governor Miriam Ferguson who reluctantly signs off on the involvement of the two Rangers. She was apparently responsible for dissolving that agency for a time. I first learned that Texas had a female governor in 1934. That was an interesting historical discovery for me.
It’s an interesting film but it could be a little slow. Costner and Harrelson seem to work well together. There is some amazing scenery as they depict the chase. Costner plays legendary Ranger, Frank Hamer. Harrelson plays the seemingly unreliable partner, Maney Gault.
I liked it for the most part, but it had some moments that dragged a bit. It takes a while for the full revelation of Bonnie and Clyde. We see some of their misdeeds from a distance. I was also struck by how many of the public idolized them at that time. Their funerals had attendees well over 10,000.
I liked the film for the most part, but it didn’t quite grip me as much as I hoped.

Creative Writing Workshop: The Poetry of Observation
The greatest thing a human soul ever does in this world is to see something…To see clearly is poetry, prophecy, and religion, — all in one.
Join us for an afternoon poetry workshop inspired by the beautiful surroundings of Elizabeth Gaskell’s House. Taking inspiration from John Ruskin’s ideas about observation, and in honour of our Ruskin exhibition, you will use the exquisite features of the House and garden to write original pieces of poetry based on focused contemplation. Led by poet Rachel Sills, the 3-hour workshop will include the opportunity to explore the House, and to share your work (if you like) for feedback.

"Now it's quite common for students to be keenly interested in how environmentally responsible colleges are.""Today, two-thirds of university applicants say that a school's environmental report card would influence whether they'd enroll, according to a survey by the Princeton Review, a test-prep company."Top 10 List:1. University of Colorado at Boulder, 1002. University of Washington at Seattle, 983. Middlebury College, 984. University of Vermont, 975. College of the Atlantic, 976. Evergreen State College, 96.57.

You’ve been bombarded with information, so you need to find a reputable source with credible options before you make any decisions on which product would be best for your needs.There are many sources that’ll provide you with that information- buying guides or ratings websites, word-of-mouth testimonials from friends or family members, online forums where users share their personal experiences, product reviews specifically found all over the internet and YouTube channels. Only thorough research will ensure that you get the right product.But that’s not always easy, right? That's why we've taken time to compile a list of the best Double Flare Tool in today's market, on your behalf, so that there will be no more worries for you.How did we come up with the list, you ask? How did we create this buying guide?
- First, our algorithms collected as much information available about these products from trusted sources.
- We employed both Artificial Intelligence and large data volume to validate all collected information.
- Then our AI ranked them on their quality-to-price ratio using industry-standard criteria that let us pick the best Double Flare Tool currently on the market!
- Brand Value: What happens when you go for a not-so-reputable brand just because the price seems cheap? Well, the chance of getting a short-lasting product goes higher. That’s because the renowned brands have a reputation to maintain, others don’t.
- Features: You don’t need heaps of features, but useful ones. We look at the features that matter and choose the top Double Flare Tool based on that.
- Specifications: Numbers always help you measure the quality of a product in a quantitative way. We try to find products of higher specifications, but with the right balance.
- Customer Ratings: The hundreds of customers using the Double Flare Tool before you won’t say wrong, would they? Better ratings mean better service experienced by a good number of people.
- Customer Reviews: Like ratings, customer reviews give you actual and trustworthy information, coming from real-world consumers about the Double Flare Tool they used.
- Seller Rank: Now, this is interesting! You don’t just need a good Double Flare Tool, you need a product that is trendy and growing in sales. It serves two objectives. Firstly, the growing number of users indicates the product is good. Secondly, the manufacturers will hopefully provide better quality and after-sales service because of that growing number.
- Value For The Money: They say you get what you pay for. Cheap isn’t always good. But that doesn’t mean splashing tons of money on a flashy but underserving product is good either. We try to measure how much value for the money you can get from your Double Flare Tool before putting them on the list.
- Durability: Durability and reliability go hand to hand. A robust and durable Double Flare Tool will serve you for months and years to come.
- Availability: Products come and go, new products take the place of the old ones. Probably some new features were added, some necessary modifications were done. What’s the point of using a supposedly good Double Flare Tool if that’s no longer continued by the manufacturer? We try to feature products that are up-to-date and sold by at least one reliable seller, if not several.
- Negative Ratings: Yes, we take that into consideration too! When we pick the top rated Double Flare Tool on the market, the products that got mostly negative ratings get filtered and discarded.

Lack of beacon-fitted cars make Delhi assembly session stand out
New Delhi: Total absence of cars fitted with red beacons at the secretariat made the first day of the newly-elected Delhi assembly session on Wednesday stand out in contrast to such events in the past.
The look of the old Delhi Secretariat was totally different as the assembly complex was thronged by a large number of AAP supporters, unlike in the past when beacon-fitted cars swarmed the area and there was heavy security and gates were not opened to the common man.
In keeping with its promise to end VIP culture, the Aam Admi Party government had on Saturday decided that red beacon will not be used by ministers and officials.
A majority of AAP MLAs came to the assembly riding Metro along with their supporters while one legislator arrived in a battery-operated rickshaw.
Rajesh Garg, AAP MLA from Rohini constituency, said he travelled 16 km on the rickshaw to reach the assembly. The rickshaw was covered with AAP poster and fitted with brooms - the party`s election symbol.
A number of MLAs came by auto-rickshaw also.
A lot of enthusiasm was witnessed among the AAP MLAs, all of them first-timers. However, there was no bonhomie among AAP and MLAs from other parties.
For all the first-time AAP MLAs, attending the assembly session was a "wonderful" experience.
"It was a wonderful experience. This is the place to resolve people`s grivances and problems. I am feeling great attending the assembly," said 26-year-old Rakhi Birla, Minister for Women and Child Development.
All the AAP legislators came to the House wearing their trademark Gandhi caps proclaiming "I am an aam aadmi".
However, a number of BJP and Congress MLAs criticised this, saying caps having party symbol and the punch line was not allowed inside the House.

A man who wants to rule in Hell. A woman who wants to find her faith again…
Charles McIntyre owns everything and everyone in the lawless, godless mining town of Defiance. When three good, Christian sisters from his beloved South show up stranded, alone, and offering to open a “nice” hotel, he is intrigued enough to let them stay…especially since he sees feisty middle sister Naomi as a possible conquest. But Naomi, angry with God for widowing her, wants no part of Defiance or the saloon-owning, prostitute-keeping Mr. McIntyre. It would seem however, that God has gone to elaborate lengths to bring them together. The question is, “Why?” Does God really have a plan for each and every life?
Why this book…
My Grandma Ward was the sweetest, most gentle woman I’ve ever known. Just thinking about her conjures fond childhood memories made in her home. Among them is the smell of Sunday pot roast, the metal cookie jar that never let us get away with sneaking a treat, her patiently teaching my brother and I to play Rummy at the kitchen table, and lounging on her plastic covered love seat to watch shows like Bonanza and Gunsmoke. The later was the impetus behind my desire to finally add a Christian Western novel to my book review blog.
On hearing this, Jesus said to them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” Mark 2:17
In A Lady in Defiance– Rebecca, Naomi, and Hannah are sisters traveling on a wagon trail headed West to California when disaster strikes. As the women contemplate their next move, Naomi feels God’s gentle prodding — urging the ladies to settle in the Colorado mining town of Defiance. They find a lawless, godless town overwrought with greed and debauchery.
Of the three sisters, I felt a sort of kinship with Naomi. She reminded me a little of the OT prophet Jonah when she prayed, “I don’t like these people, God, and I don’t have compassion for any of them.” I’ve prayed a similar prayer during my own ministry work, and like Naomi, God honored my prayer by softening my heart. Despite her belief in God, trials cause Naomi to question God’s plan and purpose for the sisters in Defiance. Her doubts play out in a spattering of humorous, willful, and quick tempered interactions with Charles McIntyre. Their tension filled and sometimes explosive relationship held me captive to the very end.
The Audible version of A Lady in Defiance is narrated by Angel Clark. By fluctuating her tone and pitch she gives voice to a minimum of 8 women as well as a number of gentlemen. Each unique character depiction kept the path of conversation straight in my mind. My only critique would be that her accents, particularly her Irish brogue and Latina sass, sounded a little stereotypical. Whether this should be attributed to the narrator’s performance or the author’s writing I am not certain. Regardless, her interpretation and delivery of the story was entertaining.
This story had all of the elements I would associate with a Western — booze, brawls, and working girls. Yet from the beginning, the story coveys an overtly Christian message about reaching the lost with the gospel. The sisters live as missionaries by praying for and serving their new community. Overall, I am pleased that my first foray into Western fiction came through the gifted pen of Heather Blanton.
I received this book from the author for my honest review. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255 “Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising.”
The Story Continues with…
A Promise in Defiance (June 22nd, 2016)
Stay tuned for my interview with author Heather Blanton.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the influence of the body mass reduction on functional stability in young obese women based on the anterior LOS test. To the authors' best knowledge, this is the first study that compared the ability to control the center of gravity (COG) during the anterior LOS test in obese individuals before and after the weight-loss program. The study results suggest that the weight-loss program, which caused body mass reduction equal to or greater than 5% of the initial body mass and noteworthy changes in the body composition also showed a significant influence on motor behavior and postural control of the women.
In this study, the young obese women after the three-month weight-loss program (that included reduced calories diet and physical activity) demonstrated higher COP maximal velocities during the transition from standing to maximal forward-leaning as well as during maintaining the maximal forward-leaning position. This indicates that after losing weight and improving physical condition, the women were able to perform the task of a dynamic leaning forward faster. Additionally, their body swayed faster during static maintenance of the maximal forward-leaning.
As previous studies showed, a decrease in the COP velocity in the anterior LOS test in the obese compared to that of people with normal body mass indicated a limitation of their postural control [23, 24]. Therefore, increasing the speed of voluntary movement (the dynamic leaning forward) as the result of the weight loss program can be interpreted as an indicator of improved postural control.
Body mass, as well as mass distribution, are key determinants of postural control [6, 28]. It has been shown that in static conditions of quiet standing, young obese women swaying slower due to increased body inertia .This makes their posture more sedate and less sensitive to disturbances. For this reason, obese individuals also slow down their movements to maintain stability during their daily lives  Consequently, obese individuals due to reduced mobility may be at higher risk of falling.
Based on the presented results the authors of this study suggest that the weight reduction created new biomechanical conditions in young obese women.
These new conditions enabled the women for faster transfer from standing to maximal forward-leaning position (phase II of the LOS test). Firstly, less body mass means less body inertia and better movement control; secondly, it means a more advantageous ratio of muscle strength to body mass (as a result of fat loss), and reduced energy expenditure related to movement control. In addition, it should be taken into account that the weight loss program included recommendations to increase physical activity that could have also increased the efficiency of muscle work .
The present study results also indicate that after the three-month weight loss program the obese women swayed faster while maintaining the maximal forward-leaning position (phase III of the LOS test). The faster sway under these challenging static conditions may suggest greater mobility that may give the women the opportunity to perform a defensive move in a shorter time (quickly), i.e. taking a step (see the Nashner’s step strategy; ) in case of a risk of losing balance. However, this study additionally indicates that the effect of losing weight as faster body sway during maintaining maximal forward-leaning position concerned the medial-lateral postural control. This may be related to the possible reduction of the women’s base of support after losing weight. It has been suggested that in standing position, obese individuals adapt to increased body mass by increasing their base of support [32, 33]. This adaptational mechanism may additionally lead to decreased medial-lateral postural sway [11, 14] because ankle joint mobility in the frontal plane is reduced when standing widely [34, 35]. It is, therefore, possible that the young obese female participants of this study used a more narrow stance after the reduction of body mass (and thigh circumference) what additionally increased the velocity of sway in the medial-lateral direction. In this experiment, the subject’s base of support was not measured, which is undoubtedly a limitation of the study.
On the other hand, this study indicates that the obese women’s functional stability that was assessed under visual deprivation conditions was unchanged despite the weight loss program. Perhaps further continuation of reduced calories diet and physical activity would have been necessary to influence their postural control under these more challenging conditions (mean BMI of the women reduced from 36 to 32 after the three-month weight loss program, so it was still far from normal).
This research also indicates that the anterior stability limit (the range of leaning and stability range) did not change in the young obese women after participation in the weight loss program. Possibly, the women’s anterior stability limit was intact before their weight loss because of their young age and lack of serious structural and/or medical consequences that are typical for long-lasting obesity. Earlier studies found reduced limits of stability in older obese women  and women with morbid obesity only .

MEQUON, Wis. - Concordia Wisconsin battled the frigid temperatures as they hosted Aurora in an early marquee matchup between two of the top teams in the MLC. The Spartans were able to come out top with a late score that gave them a two-goal lead and ultimately the 7-5 victory.
Final Score: Aurora 7, Concordia Wisconsin 5
Location: Fitting Field (Mequon, Wis.)
Records: Aurora 10-1, 4-0 MLC; Concordia Wisconsin 6-5, 2-1 MLC
HOW IT HAPPENED
- The game was close throughout, as the two conference foes fought for a key victory. Aurora was able to take a one-goal lead going into the final quarter of play. The Spartans were able to add extra insurance when Tanner Lerdahl put the Spartans up by two scores to create distance between the host bringing the score to the 7-5 final.
- Concordia Wisconsin battled hard as they were able to strike first with 10:40 left in the first quarter. Junior Warren Kaminsky (Winnipeg, Manitoba) was able to fire one past the goalkeeper to give the Falcons some early momentum. Both teams continued to answer each other, but the Spartans were able to string together back-to-back goals and hold on to a 4-3 lead heading into halftime.
- With the clock ticking and time running out, each possession became more and more important. The start of the third quarter got off to a bang when junior Jack Donnellan (Grayslake, Ill.) tied up the game with 14:07 left in the quarter and put the score at 4-4. However, the game took much of the same shape, as it did in the first half when Aurora answered and then tacked on another goal to finally capture the victory 7-5.
- The Falcons saw additional goals from junior Stephen Gregory (Louisville, Ky.), freshman Keijo Day (Esko, Minn.) and junior Mario Baregi (Champlin, Minn.). Junior Garrett Wohlford (Rochester, Minn.) was in-between the pipes as he stopped 15 shots in 60 minutes. Concordia Wisconsin went 22-of-30 on the clear and 2-of-4 in man-up opportunities along with 11 caused turnovers. Senior Paul Fisher (Champlin, Minn.) was responsible for five of those caused turnovers, as he also picked up a game-high six ground balls.
- Concordia Wisconsin will next take action on Saturday the 7th. They will take on Monmouth for Senior Day with the opening faceoff scheduled for 12 pm.

NEW YORK – Lucence said on Thursday that its laboratory in Palo Alto, California has received CLIA certification from the Centers for Medicaid & Medicare Services.
Known as Lucence Health in the US, the Singapore-based firm plans to quickly scale US-based testing capacity for its LiquidHallmark liquid biopsy assay.
Based on Lucence's AmpliMark amplicon-based technology, the LiquidHallmark assay combines molecular barcoding and the firm's SunTzu.AI clinical analytics engine to detect multiple cancer-related mutations and viral targets.
"We are excited to expand our operations to offer the benefits of highly accurate amplicon-based liquid biopsy — quicker, more precise biomarker detection and less invasive testing — to even more patients," Tan Min-Han, CEO and founder of Lucence, said in a statement. "Our goal is to make non-invasive, ultrasensitive detection of clinically relevant biomarkers more accessible to oncologists across the country."
Lucence expects to launch its first major prospective, observational study, called Liquid Biopsy for Detection of Actionable Genomic Biomarkers in Patients with Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), early next year. The study will compare different liquid biopsy technologies with tissue-based profiling in patients with newly diagnosed metastatic NSCLC to evaluate the clinical utility of the firm's assay.
Lucence previously received CLIA certification for its Singapore lab in Sept. 2019.

Perla Ferrar had her "something old" when she renewed her vows with Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash in Ibiza on Tuesday.
The former madam donned her original Richard Tyler wedding gown, though she had Brides by Liza shorten the dress to give it a more beachy vibe. Ferrar topped off her look with a tiny white top hat and a veil. See more pictures from the ceremony at Bauer Griffin.
Slash and Ferrar, who announced their split in August 2010 but called it off four months later, were surrounded by friends and family, including their two sons London, 9, and Cash 5.
"The wedding was magical," Ferrar, 36, tweeted Tuesday. "Thank you for all the well wishes and good vibes guys! We are so blessed to have so much love coming our way!"
After Slash, 46, and Ferrar exchanged vows, guests partied at the St. Gertrudis luxury mountain top villa, which featured a Mediterranean buffet, Maestro Dobel Tequila and Monster energy drinks.
The wedding party capped off the night with a hot air balloon ride at sunrise.
Ferrar and Slash (real name: Saul Hudson) first tied the knot on October 15, 2001 in Hawaii.

《TAIPEI TIMES》 Environmental groups split on new LNG plan
Members of an algal reefs alliance pushing for a referendum against a liquefied natural gas receiving station near Taoyuan protest outside the Executive Yuan in Taipei on Monday, demanding that the government change the site of the proposed project. Photo: CNA
By Lee Hsin-fang, Chien Hui-ju and Jake Chung / Staff reporters, with staff writer
Environmental groups are split over an Executive Yuan proposal to move a proposed liquefied natural gas （LNG） terminal an additional 455m from the coast of Datan Borough （大潭） in Taoyuan’s Guanyin District （觀音） to reduce its impact on algal reefs.
The planned terminal has sparked an outcry from environmentalists, who fear that it would damage the algal reefs in the area. They have successfully petitioned for a referendum to block the project.
However, support for the referendum has wavered and environmental advocates are divided on the issue, Taiwan Citizen Participation Association director-general Ho Tsung-hsun （何宗勳） said.
The Cabinet on Monday proposed moving the terminal farther from the shore for a total of 1.2km and scrapping a planned turning basin to allay fears of damage to the reefs, as the new location would have sufficient depth, and forgo 21 hectares of land reclamation.
Should the proposal be approved, it would delay the terminal’s completion by two years and add NT$15 billion （US$536.63 million） to the project’s budget.
Ho said that while he appreciated the Executive Yuan’s efforts to find a solution, he would nonetheless support the referendum sponsored by Rescue Datan’s Algal Reefs Alliance convener Pan Chong-cheng （潘忠政）.
The issue has become polarized and Pan should not remain silent, Ho said, calling for more hearings on the matter to clear up lingering doubts.
Citizen of Earth, Taiwan yesterday issued a statement applauding the Executive Yuan’s proposal, saying that it would have the least impact on the government’s goal of reducing carbon emissions.
The proposal should be reviewed by an environmental impact assessment committee before the referendum on Aug. 28, the group said.
Former Environmental Protection Administration （EPA） deputy minister Chan Shun-kuei （詹順貴） told a news conference that Pan’s concern for the reefs is legitimate, but is not backed by any scientific study suggesting that the terminal would directly harm them.
Pan, who has demonstrated that he has a support base by meeting the referendum threshold, should now come to the negotiation table, he said.
Chan said he did not mean for his comments to be taken as support for the government, adding that the wanted to portray the diversity of opinion on the issue.
Premier Su Tseng-chang （蘇貞昌） on Monday said that, optimally, the terminal would start supplying natural gas to northern Taiwan in June 2025.
The Executive Yuan’s proposal is the optimum compromise between power security and environmental protection, Su said.
Democratic Progressive Party Legislator Hung Shen-han （洪申翰） said that the current plans for the terminal greatly differ from the original version in 2015, and the changes reflect environmental concerns.
The government has considered relocating the terminal’s planned site in 2018, but a proposed site was reserved for a planned offshore wind farm.
The license for the wind farm has since been canceled due to flight safety concerns, Hung added.

Message from the CEO
“ONE STEP AHEAD”
With the spirit of “Joy and Fun”
We will move “ONE STEP AHEAD” into the future in 2016, the first year of a new Mid-Long Term Management Plan. My role is to keep increasing corporate value for HORIBA. By continuously investing in human resources and technology, we will make our invisible values glow.
Sales and profits reached all-time highs in 2015
In 2015 (ended December 31, 2015), HORIBA posted its second consecutive year of record-high sales and profits, with consolidated net sales of 170.8 billion yen (up 11.7% year-on-year) and operating income of 19.3 billion yen (up 12.5% year-on-year). The Semiconductor Instruments & Systems segment was the main earnings driver, with its contribution driven by robust capital expenditure by the semiconductor industry in Asia and an increase in our global market share for mass flow controllers, our mainstay product (from 52% in 2014 to 55% in 2015). Meanwhile, the Automotive Test Systems segment recorded a decrease in operating income due to one off increases in expenses associated with a major acquisition and a move to a new base in Shiga Prefecture which is next to Kyoto Prefecture. The Scientific Instruments & Systems segment and the Medical-Diagnostic Instruments & Systems segment both recorded a year-on-year increase in operating income, but the Process & Environmental Instruments & Systems segment recorded a decrease in operating income.
Our previous business plan, through 2015, built a base for a major advance
In the previous plan (Mid-Long Term Management Plan [2011-2015]), our targets were 150 billion yen in sales, 20 billion yen in operating income and ROE of 11% or more. In 2015, partly due to the impact from the depreciation of the yen, sales significantly exceeded the target but the actual operating income and ROE (10.2%) fell slightly short. The major reason was concurrent investments: construction of a new facility, HORIBA BIWAKO E-HARBOR, and the acquisition of U.K.-based HORIBA MIRA, Ltd. By business segment, the Semiconductor Instruments & Systems segment significantly exceeded the plan and three segments - Automotive Test Systems, Process & Environmental Instruments & Systems, and Scientific Instruments & Systems largely achieved the targets. However, the Medical-Diagnostic Instruments & Systems segment recorded operating income of 2.4 billion yen in the final year, which was far behind the initial target of 6.0 billion yen.
I am also pleased to report that we have made satisfactory progress in the previous plan’s strategies: namely, full implementation of “One Company Matrix Management;” investment in highly profitable businesses; expansion of the business model so as to be better driven by customer viewpoints; and acceleration of global product development and production. However, profitability of the Medical-Diagnostic Instruments & Systems business and speedy improvement in profitability of the acquired businesses remain major challenges. In addition, a higher depreciation burden, caused by capital expenditure and business acquisitions, is emerging as a new challenge.
Launch of the new Mid-Long Term Management Plan MLMAP*2020, “ONE STEP AHEAD”
The MLMAP2020, which began in 2016 under the slogan "ONE STEP AHEAD,” incorporates our determination to move one step ahead of our existing business and to cross over a barrier by acquiring new perspectives. We have chosen a “drone” as our plan’s symbol, as the drone represents ability to flexibly control itself, break stereotypes, and add an entirely new dimension to the concept of flight. Even though one of five rotors (our five business segments) of the drone may temporarily decelerate, the remaining four rotors should enable the drone to keep flying. This resonates with the core of HORIBA’s well balanced management that aims for growth in all five business segments, and ensures growth even when one segment temporarily lags.
*MLMAP…Mid-Long Term Management Plan
The MLMAP2020 priority measures call for application of HORIBA technology in new business fields and new markets, for growth by a Super Dream Team based on balanced management, matrix organization and the HORIBA Stained Glass Project, and raising capital efficiency and maximizing corporate value. We have set numerical targets for 2020: sales of 250 billion yen, operating income of 30 billion yen, and ROE of 10% or more. The targets in operating income ratio are 20% for the Semiconductor Instruments & Systems segment and 10% for all other business segments.
In order to realize the MLMAP2020, it is critical that the Automotive Test Systems and Semiconductor Instruments & Systems segments, our two major businesses, remain earnings drivers. The Automotive Test Systems segment we plan to maintain its top share in emission gas analyzers and seek to generate return on the investments made in HORIBA BIWAKO E-HARBOR and HORIBA MIRA. The Semiconductor Instruments & Systems segment should also maintain its high share in mass flow controllers and at the same time expand in many aspects. In addition, we will apply HORIBA analysis and measurement technology to new fields, so that we can create a third business pillar.
We have made investments for the future
In July 2015, we acquired U.K.-based MIRA, Ltd. by investing 15.5 billion yen, a record-high amount for HORIBA. Having been in business since 1946, MIRA was a distinguished company hosting R&D bases of 30 automotive-related companies and employing about 500 engineers within its research facilities. HORIBA plans to transfer its cutting-edge analysis and measurement technology to MIRA so as to accelerate its business growth in development of next-generation mobility.
After investing approximately 10 billion yen, HORIBA BIWAKO E-HARBOR started full operation in May 2016. By means of consolidating gas measurement technology development, design, and production teams and launching an integrated production line with production partner companies, we aim to improve the time-to-market of new products and double our production volume. The SKY ATRIUM, a soaring staircase area in the middle of the building, is designed to help facilitate communication among employees'. When we eliminate the barriers between development, design and production teams and partner companies, and when each other’s work or know-how becomes more evident to others, I am confident that new value will emerge.
HORIBA BIWAKO E-HARBOR plays a role in the transfer of our core technology, diligently accumulated in Kyoto over a period of 70 years, into the hands of a new generation of engineers, who will spearhead the fostering of new development capabilities. This facility also has an R&D laboratory to be used to demonstrate the latest automotive measurement equipment and other experiments. Moreover, we are planning to enable customer training, demonstration and application development. We thus aim to create a place where we can create value together with our customers.
We will enhance our capital efficiency and cash flow management
We will emphasize capital efficiency and cash flow in the MLMAP2020. Historically we have emphasized ROA as one of our Key Performance Indicators (KPI), but this time we are setting capital efficiency targets for each group company and each business segment, and emphasizing cash flow management. In January 2016, we expanded our ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system worldwide. This will facilitate our close management of the balance sheet and cash flow for each business segment. We anticipate positive impacts to be generated in inventory management and reduction in time to recover return on our investments. At the same time the new system will enable us to quickly respond when a problem occurs. I believe establishing the system will eventually lead to quicker management judgments and more thorough implementation of efficient operations in all divisions, which include not only development, production, and other functional divisions but also administrative divisions. Ultimately we will improve our corporate value.
Our “Super Dream Team” will help accelerate corporate growth
We have promoted the “balanced management” of operating multi-businesses, which helps alleviate the impact from change in the economic cycle and enables us to make continuous investment, and “matrix organization,” which facilitates agile execution of strategies by using two axes of business segment and region. Moreover, quality and operating efficiency have been improved by introducing the “Blackjack Project”, which began in 1997 with the objective of changing the awareness and activities of employees. Then we began the “HORIBA Stained Glass Project” in 2014 so as to create an environment that values diversity. There is no doubt that implementing these initiatives have led to motivation of our employees to become more capable and more responsible team members. What I envision as ideal is an organization in which people with diversity can make the best of their strength and talents and exercise strength as a team. We have named it the “Super Dream Team.” HORIBA’s philosophy to respect each other, and our corporate culture of “Joy and Fun” , have inspired and been integrated into our overseas group companies. I think an accurate understanding of HORIBA’s corporate culture by our newly joined group companies is invaluable for their management and business development. I firmly believe that the “Super Dream Team,” when realized, will materialize significant potential for enhancing corporate value.
We are proud to be a company that supports many industries
None of HORIBA’s business segments, while generating sales of tens or hundreds of billion yen, are big in size. Nevertheless, we are proud that we are part of the foundation for global industrial development by providing cutting-edge analysis and measurement instruments, or “mother tools” that support, in particular, the automotive and semiconductor industries. I am convinced that we should never stop challenging ourselves by entering new markets or developing and applying new technology.
We must continue gaining market share and increasing profitability for each business, which inevitably result in expanding our corporate scale. I believe that will be HORIBA’s ideal path.
We will deepen our dialogue with all stakeholders
In its business activities HORIBA, since its origin, has been fully committed to owners (shareholders), customers, employees, and society, and has been engaged in dialogue with stakeholders in various ways. In 2011 we signed the United Nations Global Compact, a set of universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labor, environment, and anti-corruption. We ensure that when we conduct business we are rooted in each country and region, together with local employees, and understand the relevant diverse cultures, customs and values to ensure that we make a positive social contribution wherever we do business. I welcome opportunities to engage in constructive dialogue with stakeholders and explain our business strategies to them. This HORIBA Report and our website introduce not only our business and financial information, but also our “Invisible Values,” which are not shown in the financial statements, so that HORIBA’s corporate values are well understood.
Our basic policy on returning profits to owners (shareholders) is to target total returns to shareholders at 30% of HORIBA’s consolidated net income (the combination of dividend payments and share buybacks), allocating the remainder to reserves for capital and strategic investment in human resources and technology. In fiscal 2015, we paid a record-high annual dividend per share of 70 yen and bought back 218,000 shares (999 million yen; 0.5% of shares outstanding). For fiscal 2016, we are currently forecasting an increase of annual dividend per share to 75 yen.
I am proud that all of our business activities are contributing to the realization of a comfortable and sustainable society. This has not been changed as our company culture has been inherited from our very foundation to the present, and is consistent with our fundamental way of thinking regarding Corporate Social Responsibility. We are committed to working with a sense of challenge and the “Joy and Fun” spirit, raising the satisfaction of owners (shareholders), customers, suppliers, employees, and all other stakeholders, and contributing to society in order to improve our corporate value. I sincerely hope that you all agree with our management policy and will continue to support us for many years to come.
Chairman, President & CEO

Keep some pepitas on hand and you'll always be able to whip up this quick, satisfying spread. I like it best when it's fiery and loaded with lime flavor -- so good!
Servings: 4(approx. 2 cups)
Author: Mexican Please
handful ofspinach (optional)
juice of2 limes
freshly cracked black pepper
1/2teaspoonsalt (plus more to taste)
splash ofwater (plus more to combine)
Add 1 cup of pepitas to a dry skillet over mediumish heat. Let them roast until they are popping and turning golden brown, 4-6 minutes, stirring regularly.
Add the pepitas to a blender or food processor along with 1/2 teaspoon salt, freshly cracked black pepper, and a pinch of cumin. Combine well.
Lightly saute 1/2 onion and 1-2 jalapenos in some oil over medium heat until softened. I use 2 jalapenos but feel free to use less for a milder version. (You can chop roughly as all of this is going in the blender eventually.)
Add 3 cloves of minced garlic to the skillet and saute briefly alongside the onion and jalapeno, then toss it all in the blender with the pepita mixture. Add the remaining ingredients to the blender: 10-12 sprigs of cilantro, a handful of spinach (optional), the juice of 2 limes, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and a splash of water.
Combine well. You'll probably need to add a little more water to get it to combine. I like to keep it chunky, so I add as little water as possible, scraping down the sides and adding small splashes of water as needed.
Take a final taste for seasoning. I added another generous pinch to this batch (so that is close to 3/4 teaspoon total.)
Serve next to tortilla chips, or on your choice of veggies, bagels, etc.
Keep some lime close by as a final burst of acidity really brightens it up. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
I usually twist off and discard the bottom, thicker portion of the cilantro stems, but use the upper portion of the stems that hold the leaves together.

Everything you need to know about La Liga 2018/19
Spain's top-flight football league is set to begin from tonight and fans cannot wait to see their favorite teams and stars in action. All eyes will be on Lionel Messi as he tries to forget his World Cup campaign and comes back to enthral the world with his genius. Real Madrid will be playing without Cristiano Ronaldo in almost a decade. Here's more.
2018/19 La Liga will see the use of the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) for the first time in the league's history. After using the technology at the 2018 World Cup, there are no more qualms about implementing the same everywhere else. Other major leagues like the French Ligue 1, Bundesliga and the Italian Serie A will also be using the technology.
When it comes to Spain, undoubtedly, the El Clasico is the match which most fans look forward to. The two giants, Real Madrid and Barcelona will clash on October 28 and March 3 2019. The Madrid derby will be held on September 30 and February 2. Barcelona will lock horns with the Rojiblancos on November 25 and April 7 next year.
Asensio may start shining this season as he is sure to get more playing time at Real. Gareth Bale will be eager to establish himself as a dependable goal-scorer for Madrid and we might see him at his absolute best. Coutinho and Dembele might weave magic as the upcoming stars of Barcelona. Rodrigo Moreno of Valencia will be another player to watch out for.
After being enthralled by two greats of the game, Cristiano Ronaldo and Andres Iniesta, Spain will not see them in action in more than a decade. Arturo Vidal, after having played successfully at Bayern Munich, has joined the Blaugrana and he will be someone to look forward to. The youngster Rodri, who has joined Atletico from Villarreal is another promising talent.
Fans, in the Indian sub-continent, will be able to watch the matches live on Facebook. The first match of this season, Girona vs Real Valladolid will kick off from 11:45 PM tonight.

Neymar faces anxious wait to make PSG debut as La Liga continue to block Ligue 1 registration after £198m move
- Neymar completed a world-record £198m move to PSG last week
- He had to watch his new team-mates from the stands at the weekend
- The Brazilian is still waiting for La Liga to send off the required papers to Ligue 1
- He must be registered by Thursday if he is to face Guingamp on Sunday
The Spanish League continue to block Neymar’s move to Paris Saint-Germain even though the Brazilian has already completed his £198m transfer.
Neymar needs La Liga to send his International Transfer Certificate to the French League but according to Le Parisien, they have still not complied.
Without the papers PSG cannot register the player with Ligue 1 and he can’t play.
Neymar poses with the PSG shirt after sealing a £198m move to the French giants
The Brazilian is facing an anxious wait before he can make his debut for his new side
The world-record signing has already missed one game this season, sitting out the home fixture with Amiens on Saturday.
In order to be eligible for Sunday’s game against Guingamp, Neymar needs to have been registered by Thursday.
If the papers have not arrived by then PSG could bypass the Spanish and go straight to FIFA but that could create an extra delay.
The Spanish League claim the delay is normal but PSG are still fuming from the way La Liga president Javier Tebas rejected the buy-out clause cheque when it was presented in Madrid last Thursday by lawyers representing Neymar.
The world-record transfer holder had to watch his team-mates from the stands on Saturday
Tebas has also been outspoken publicly accusing the Ligue 1 club of financial doping.
Neymar, for now does not seemed too perturbed by the hold-up.
On Monday he was in Saint Tropez with pals enjoying a day off after PSG’s first win of the season.
Neymar completed a record breaking £198million move to Paris Saint-Germain last week

‘Echo’ is the debut single from super talented newcomers Wild Swim – released through Believe Recordings. Produced by the legendary Steve Osborne, it’s a stunning introduction to the Oxford five piece who have already drawn early comparisons to the likes of The XX, The Associates, Foals and Japan. ‘Echo’s gorgeous shifting textures and immersive soundscapes are offset by singer Richard Sansom’s remarkable, idiosyncratic baritone. The B side is the melancholic self-produced ‘Bright Eyes’, whose experimental electronica recalls the likes of James Blake.
Tape Club in association with Popular present a special tour – a live celebration of three stand-out acts who have all this Summer released acclaimed debut albums on the burgeoning London label – Dogtanion, Peter and Kerry and Laurel Collective.
To coincide with the tour, Tape Club Records will present their first compilation ‘Working Late Volume 1’ featuring their best releases since forming, including recent signing Emperor Yes.
FatCat Records present a remix album for The Twilight Sad’s acclaimed album ‘No One Can Ever Know’. The release features remixes from Liars, Tom Furse from The Horrors, Optimo, Com Truise, Breton and more. The Twilight Sad’s third studio album ‘No One Can Ever Know’ saw them bravely step in a new musical direction. Fresh influences such as Can, Autechre & PiL were digested, and an album thematically akin to ‘Holy Bible’ era Manics, or ‘The Downward Spiral’ era Nine Inch Nails gave existing fans something to think about.
It’s been an extremely exciting couple of months for the 22 year old half-Congolese, half-Angolan solo artist Yannick Ilunga, aka Petite Noir. First of all his debut single ‘Till We Ghosts’ blew up, finding big support from The Guardian, Boiler Room and BBC Radio 1 amongst many others. ‘Disappear’ and B-side ‘Pressure’ is the next page in the Petite Noir story; like all his music, ‘Disappear’ is a unique concoction of influences, seamlessly fusing intricate contemporary electronics with his stirring, soulful vocal and African shuffles that echo is homeland.
‘Heartbreaker’ is the first single to be lifted from much loved British soul and blues singer Alice Russell’s upcoming fifth album, ‘To Dust’, which follows in February 2013. ‘Heartbreaker’ highlights the crisp, cutting edge production and eclectic influences which nestle alongside a love of vintage soul at the core of Alice Russell’s style, a sound honed over the years with co-writer and producer TM Juke. The perfect introduction to the new LP, the track sees Alice at her best, mixing soul with intoxicating gospel overtones. The release also features killer remixes by Falty DL and Yakine.
The latest single to be taken from the acclaimed ‘Fragrant World’, is the gothic and very addictive ‘Reagan’s Skeleton’ – released through Mute. Time Out have endorsed the track, labeling it “a sure-fire dancefloor killer”.
The new video, featuring a live performance of ‘Reagan’s Skeleton’, is directed by acclaimed artist and film makers Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard who have previously collaborated with Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds.
Electro-pop duo, and John Kennedy (XFM) favourites, Peter and Kerry release their new single ‘Split For The City’ through Believe Recordings/Tape Club Records. The track comes from the artfully well-observed debut album ‘La Trimouille’ (out now), and follows Kerry’s recent collaboration with Lapalux through Flying Lotus’s Brainfeeder label, plus Peter’s pioneering score for the recent Saddler’s Wells’ ballet Vanity Fowl. They are currently touring with Tape Club Records on their UK regional tour with Dogtanion and Laurel Collective.
Outstanding release from Daniel Trim supported by Laurent Garnier, Tom Flynn, and Rob Da Bank. Trim is a DJ from Barcelona who fuses rhythm and melody with the same kind of skill and panache as artists like Paul Kalkbrenner, but with that Iberian sense of how to make a party feel sunkissed – even in the middle of winter. ‘O Day’ is the stone-cold killer on this EP with it’s moody vibe; strings, hypnotic synths, wiggling rhythm and rubbery bass. It’s the kind of record you can completely lose yourself in as our European nights get darker and the clubs get re-energised.
