Weebles is a trademark for several lines of children's roly-poly toys originating in Hasbro's Playskool division on July 23, 1971. Tipping an egg-shaped Weeble causes a weight located at the bottom-center to be lifted off the ground. Once released, gravitational force brings the Weeble back into an upright position. Weebles have been designed to have a variety of shapes, including some designed to look like people and animals, among others.
The popular catchphrase, "Weebles wobble, but they don't fall down", was used in advertising during their rise in popularity in the 1970s and during successive relaunches in the early 21st century.
The Weebles 1971-2011 Price Guide and Index Book lists and shows every Weeble model made over the past 40 years. There are 21 peelable / 83 regular / 12 tumbling = 116 Weebles in total including all egg shaped sizes and variations made during 1971-1983. In 2010 Hasbro started making a new line of larger egg-shaped Weebles and had produced 42 new Weebles as of July 2011.
A wide range of accessories were available for the Weebles including vehicles, buildings and furniture. Some sets had a theme to them, such as the Weebles circus set.
A Weeble is shaped like an egg—in order for the physics principles to work as intended, the shape must have a bottom which is a more or less smooth (unfaceted) hemisphere (to allow the Weeble to roll) and from the central vertical axis the shape must be nearly cylindrically symmetrical (that is, any plane cut through the vertical axis line must produce close to the same profile). Next, the shape must be filled with two basic types of unmixed solids, and the volume of the lighter solid must be greater than that of the heavier solid. Next, the overall shape must have constant positive curvature. Next, the relationship between the heavy solid and the light solid must be such that any orientation of the object off of the vertical axis line must cause the object's centroid to raise and to become offset. Lastly, the object must have only one position in which it can achieve stable mechanical equilibrium.
Combining these characteristics produces a basic Weeble. In theory, it is not possible to have a Weeble with a centroid that is too low to achieve a stable mechanical equilibrium.
List of playsets
Numerous playsets were made and marketed in the USA throughout the 1970s including a Haunted House, Treehouse, Camper, Playground, Marina, Circus, Fun House, Mickey Mouse Club Set, Western Theme Set, Weekender and others. Playsets often came with certain figures, though these could also be purchased separately.
There are 44 Weebles sets that include at least one Weebles figure and a vehicle, or larger sets made between 1972-1982.
A new line of Weebles was created in 2004 that were not egg-shaped but rather shaped like different animals. These were produced for a couple of years.

For my independent study this semester, I’m working on two digital projects: first, to tell the story of A. Louise Klehm, Skokie’s first lady doctor, and second, to digitize and create an online exhibit around Skokie Public Library’s fantastic solar eclipse party from 2017.
The goal of the A. Louise Klehm project on a practical level is to become familiar with Omeka, the content-management tool the library uses to create digital collections. The digital ‘items’ and the metadata surrounding them already exist; it’s now a matter of organizing them into a cohesive and interesting story. As I’ve been digging into the material and starting to shape the exhibit, here are some things I’ve been learning and thinking that will help drive what comes next.
Message – what’s the big idea?
First and foremost, what is this about? A helpful way to begin to answer this question is to use the formula, “My story is about X, but it is really about Y.”
“My story is about A. Louise Klehm, Skokie’s first lady doctor, but it’s really about perseverance and resilience, about women breaking barriers in history.”
Audience – who cares?
Knowing who you are speaking to drives organization, design, and storytelling decisions. For example, the likely audiences for this project are:
Community members interested in local history – for them, this is primarily a storytelling mission, so it makes sense to emphasize local ties to places and people and relevance to the current day (common pain points, triumphs). What are the moments of drama? Let’s shape the story around those(for example moments of conflict or overcoming obstacles), How will it end? In this case, we can end on a high note with an uplifting message.
Students – for example, how can we balance giving them the factual information they need without doing all the work for them? What additional resources can we include to help with further research? How can we incorporate this into what our youth librarians are doing?
Researchers (local/Illinois/country) – this isn’t our main audience, but there may be people interested in specific items as part of a larger context, like 19th century medical equipment (or is it early 20th century? shoot, I’ll have to check) or the history of female physicians. How can we present this information so it is easy to find and rich in needed detail?
Us! – How can we use this in the library? Talking through the project with Jessica and Annabelle, Annabelle suggested launching it for Women’s History Month in March and thinking about how it could work with youth research projects and/or a Civic Lab presentation. In addition, we should think about how the Virtual Community Engagement department can help get the word out.
Narrative – what themes will guide the story you’re telling?
What will audiences learn? What will they feel? What do we want them to do at the end of all this? I’m in the process of categorizing all the items to help me find emerging themes around which to tell the story.
Design – what’s it gonna look like?
This isn’t just about colors and pictures, it’s about how the content is organized and what major principles will inform decisions. For example, the design principle of, “Show, don’t tell,” may translate into keeping the navigation simple and the text minimal, instead using imagery and interaction to communicate.
Now that I have a handle on the answers to some of these major questions, I am digging into all of the items in the collection in detail and starting to organize them. Thanks to Jessica, I have a articles and papers about Dr. Klehm that I can pull from for the story itself. The ultimate goal is to have this ready to go by the end of February so the library can start to promote it as part of Women’s History Month in March. Lots to do, but it’s fun, so I’m sure time will fly!
Meanwhile, I’d love to hear your thoughts about this approach so far, especially around the messaging, intended audiences, and potential for collaboration with others.

Attorney-General Siromi Turaga has committed to being inclusive.
While addressing lawyers at the Pearl Resort in Pacific Harbour this morning, Turaga says he wants to take the legal profession to new heights.
He states that the Government will change and improve how Fiji is governed.
Siromi adds that they have also promised to amend the Media Industry Development Act because having free and independent media not subjected to draconian laws is imperative.
This change will help build a media that informs society and expresses and exchanges ideas without fear.
“A consequence of this is that change may come slowly. This is inevitable given how long in previous government was in power and the impact it had on nearly every aspect of our nation and lives. That is not to say the government will act slowly. Measures are designed to reduce some of the most grievous wrongs and damage done to the country and the economy will be prioritized.”
Siromi says they are committed to consultation, particularly those affected by laws passed by the previous government.
The AG has also affirmed the Government’s commitment to the rule of law, in particular, strong adherence to the universal principles of accountability.
He also states ensuring that the processes by which the law is adopted, administered educated, and enforced are accessible, fair, and efficient will be done.
In addition, Turaga says the three arms of government will become separate and independent and at the same ensuring that justice is delivered, timely by competent, critical and independent, and neutral representatives.

American Mattress Valpo

If your mattress interrupts your sleep, so that you feel some firm information or even springs under the fabric and cushioning, then it’s absolutely the time to it and search using mattress rankings and evaluations as a guide.
A great mattress does more than providing you a soft comfy location to rest after the long day or a place to snuggle with your liked one. The best bed mattress might in fact improve your sleep and posture keeping your spinal column in the best position for seven to nine hours.
If your sleep is even worse than it utilized to be a few months earlier, check for signs of mattress deterioration. To determine whether you require a new bed mattress, remember of any stiffness or aching muscles or joints when you wake up in the early morning. Any friction of the fabrics, uncommon sounds and if there is a visible dip formed by one or two sleeping bodies on the mattress will inform you that the bed mattress requires to be replaced.
Many mattress ratings consider such qualities of a mattress as density, the product the mattress is made from, a warranty, cost point and unique features such as hypoallergenic qualities, stress-relieving style, and the material of the covering. After carefully studying the consumer reviews and bed mattress ratings, this is what many people try to find in a bed mattress:
1. The material.
Organic cotton and soft wool have actually ended up being very popular among health-conscious buyers. Nevertheless, cotton and wool mattresses are not treated with fire-retarding chemicals needed by law. The mattress should not include any polyester fillings and ought to be made of pure wool, ideally lamb or alpaca wool or a minimum of latex foam. The ideal mattress should be dye-free, dust mite repellent, hypo-allergenic and anti-bacterial. Ideally, the bed mattress needs to be moisture repellent and flame resistant, too. The mattress needs to be framed in unbleached natural cotton. Memory foam bed mattress are highly ranked as the most appropriate mattresses for allergy sufferers, but some people suggested that these mattresses become stiffer in a hot environment.
2. The shape.
Company mattresses provide more assistance and the most high end models are doctor-prescribed. In general most customers choose soft and thick bed mattress which provide more convenience. The most typical desire is that the bed mattress should restore its shape and needs to not flatten gradually. People highly ranked bed mattress that are durable and are most likely to last several years.

Dark times keep getting darker. More COVID-19 lockdown fuelled unrest continues to plague the Netherlands. Per the BBC, “Protesters defying a curfew in the Netherlands have clashed with riot police in a third night of unrest. More than 180 people were arrested on Monday in several cities. In Rotterdam, police fired a warning shot and used water cannon, after an emergency order failed to move demonstrators. Riots started at the weekend as protesters kicked back against newly imposed coronavirus restrictions.” One day there will be volumes upon volumes of studies about the mental health aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as its broader social implications. https://bbc.in/2YfWWnX
It seems like the global response to COVID-19 is a massive game of Whack-a-Mole. Once one country gets a hold of its local outbreak, another serious one occurs in a different country. Look no further that the Iberian Peninsula for proof. Per Al-Jazeera, “As little as nine months ago, Portugal was considered a model of success in the battle against COVID-19, particularly in comparison to neighbouring Spain. But in early 2021, with the country’s rate of new cases reaching the highest in the world in proportion to its population last week, and ambulances queueing outside Lisbon hospitals as its health service buckles under the strain, it is a grimly different story.” With new strains of SARS-CoV-2 emerging, it’s difficult to predict how things play out, even with vaccines available. https://bit.ly/3qT80DL
Just in case anyone forgot how the opacity of the Chinese Communist Party’s opened the door for the global pandemic cripping countries across the world, the BBC has put together a detailed account of five crucial days at the start of the outbreak. According to the BBC, “A year ago, the Chinese government locked down the city of Wuhan. For weeks beforehand officials had maintained that the outbreak was under control – just a few dozen cases linked to a live animal market. But in fact the virus had been spreading throughout the city and around China. This is the story of five critical days early in the outbreak.” The article will make you feel enraged, depressed, and reflective. Makes you wonder what could have been. https://bbc.in/3poDjWL
Japan is trying to push through with the Summer Olympics which was cancelled last year thanks to the pandemic. The government and International Olympic Committee are trying to dispel any concerns regarding holding a massive global event while the world continues to struggle. Per the Associated Press, “With calls for a cancellation mounting, pressure is building on Japanese organizers and the IOC to explain exactly how they plan to hold the Tokyo Olympics in the midst of a pandemic. The International Olympic Committee and the local organizers are expected to roll out ‘Playbooks’ next week that are to provide step-by-step details about how athletes and thousands of others will get safely in and out of Tokyo.” https://bit.ly/2MuBAR1
A new and ingenious approach toward estimating when the domestication of dogs first took place has determined that the event probably took place much earlier than believed. According to Science, “The researchers analyzed previously sequenced mitochondrial genomes of more than 200 dogs from all over the world, some dating back 10,000 years. The mitochondrial DNA—short sequences that are more abundant in fossils than nuclear DNA—showed all ancient American dogs carried a genetic signature—dubbed A2b—and that they splintered into four groups about 15,000 years ago as they populated different parts of North America.” The study also resulted a few interesting findings involving the human migration from Asia to North America. https://bit.ly/39kOrOR

The World Cup semi-finals are over and we now await the 2022 final on Sunday 18 December between Argentina and France.
It will be the sixth time that Argentina have played in a World Cup final and the third time that France will feature, after Les Bleus beat Morocco 2-0 on Wednesday.
Which country has played in the most World Cup finals?
Germany have played in a record eight World Cup finals. Only eight countries have won the World Cup since its inception in 1930.
Brazil have featured in seven World Cup finals, with Italy (6), Argentina (5) and the Netherlands (3) coming next on the list. The Seleção are also the only country to have participated in every tournament since the opening one in Uruguay 92 years ago.
Brazil have lifted the Jules Rimet trophy on five occasions, in 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994 and 2002. Many fancied Tite’s side to win the 2022 edition but they fell short again and will have to wait at least another four years before picking up their next World Cup title.
European heavyweights Germany and Italy are in second place with four World Cups each but the Germans have been in more finals than the Italians.
The last time Germany were in a final was in 2014, when they broke Argentinian hearts with an extra time winner from Mario Gotze.
Argentina, Uruguay and France have all lifted the trophy twice, and Spain and England have won it once.
France beat Brazil 3-0 in the 1998 World Cup final.PAULO WHITAKERREUTERS

How do we pitch Ireland as a movie location to Hollywood?
Ireland is currently in the midst of a Hollywood renaissance. Our filmmakers received a record nine Academy Award nominations in 2016 with Ben Cleary winning best live action short for his film Stutterer, while Colin Farrell’s The Lobster and the Emma O'Donoghue/ Lenny Abrahamson collaboration Room won prestigious awards at Cannes and the Toronto International Film Festival.
Mark Hamill introduced Irish crisps to a galaxy far, far away, much to the nation’s delight when Star Wars returned to Kerry to film Episode: VIII of the sci-fi blockbuster, cementing a tourism legacy in the region just as Game of Thrones did in Belfast.
Mel Gibson filmed his latest movie The Professor and The Madman in Ardmore Studios. Zoe Saldana, the female lead in James Cameron’s Avatar - the biggest grossing film of all time – has also been spotted ahead of filming Anders Walter’s fantasy drama I Kill Giants.
You can expect to see more and more Hollywood stars around Ireland thanks to tax exemptions introduced by the government last year - inspired by a meeting between the most unlikely trio of Daniel Day Lewis, Steven Spielberg and Enda Kenny in 2013.
These tax exemptions, known as Section 481, deliver up to 32 percent relief on eligible Irish expenditure, came into effect January 2015.
The Irish Film Board is so confident in the potential of these exemptions that they appointed an inward Production Manager to encourage foreign production companies to film in Ireland.
Steven Davenport took up the post earlier this year and will represent Ireland at the American Film Market, the largest International Film conference in the world this month where five billion dollars-worth of deals are expected to be done concluded.
According to the Irish Film Board the Irish film industry has a turnover of €500 million and employs approximately 6,000 domestically. With IFB films having grossed “over $150 million at the worldwide box office” In 2015/16.
The recent success of the Irish film industry is all the more remarkable considering the Irish Film Board’s annual capital funding budget for investment in film is approximately €11 million - a paltry sum by international standards.
So why is Ireland proving so popular with international filmmakers? According to the Irish Film Board today’s success is the result of “long-term investment”.
“Success at this level doesn’t happen overnight. We believe that long term investment from the Irish Film Board in talent - in Irish writers, directors and producers, has certainly contributed to this success," Louise Ryan, Marketing and Communications Manager of the Irish Film Board, told Independent.ie.
“Our experienced producers, award-winning crews, and beautiful regional and urban locations in close proximity to the airport all score highly with international producers.”
Ireland has become a major international co-producer of films with a string of hits including Room, Sing Street and smaller titles such as A Date for Made Mary all benefiting from a blend of indigenous and external funding and expertise.
According to Ms Ryan, "we use both successful Irish films and major international productions which have filmed on location in Ireland to entice further productions here.”
And enticing more productions to Ireland with a portfolio of successful indigenous, co-produced and international capital led films titles is exactly what Mr Davenport and the Irish Film Board are aiming to do this month at the American Film Market.
“Key to promoting Ireland as an international film and television (destination) is to ensure that international producers are aware of how experienced Irish producers and crew are," she said.
“Experienced cast and crew form a very important part of enticing international production to Ireland. Ireland has a strong reputation for award winning crews and Heads of Departments.”
Increased film production in Ireland allows many indigenous actors to stay at home rather than travelling for work and supplies aspiring thespians more opportunities to be cast as extras and read for international casting agents who may be looking for something different from their Irish counterparts.
“To have big film and television productions coming to Ireland is very much a positive thing, especially for Irish actors,” says Irish actor/musician Kieron O’Reilly best known for his role as Detective Ciaran Madden in RTE’s Love\Hate. “There are far more actors than roles out there and even with major productions in this country, it's still very competitive for actors trying to land roles.
What these major productions do for the Irish acting community is provide opportunity; opportunity to be seen by reputable casting agents, big directors and the potential to work on high-end productions with great cast and great crews.”
O’Reilly was recently cast in Mel Gibson’s The Professor and The Madman and hit television show, Vikings.
“The experience to date is really invaluable when trying to grow and develop as an actor.”
The increased interest in Ireland as a film destination does not simply extend to tax and locations as Hollywood insiders are also taking a look at what our indigenous talent has to offer.
Dallas Buyers Club, Producer Cassian Elwes picked up the North American rights to Irish film Midnight Man (2012) by Rob Kennedy and remade the movie with horror veteran Robert Englund (A Nightmare on Elm Street), Emily Haine (Fargo/Deadpool), in the starring roles making Midnight Man the first Irish feature film to be remade by the Hollywood studio system.
IFTA Rising Star award winning director Gerrard Barrett’s Brain on Fire recently premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIIF). The Sligo native’s third feature starring Chloë Grace Moretz (Kick-Ass), Richard Armitage (The Hobbit), and Carrie-Anne Moss (The Matrix). Is based on the memoir by Susannah Cahalan and tells the true story of how Cahalan (Moretz) a New York journalist descends into madness after experiencing severe amnesia and uncharacteristic violent episodes.
Other Film and television projects currently filming in Ireland include 'The Professor and the Madman’, 'The Lodgers', 'Vikings', and series two of AMC’s 'Into The Badlands' amongst others.

Waltair Veerayya is Chiranjeevi's latest release and the megastar has made special plans to promote it
Last Updated: 08.15 AM, Jan 06, 2023
Megastar Chiranjeevi is in no mood to slow down these days and is doing back-to-back films. He is busy promoting his latest Sankranthi release Waltair Veerayya like never before and has decided to go all out when it comes to digital and TV promotions. As a part of it, he has done something special for the first time in his career.
He will be attending a game show called Suma's Adda and promote his film Waltair Veerayya there. Star anchor, Suma Kanakala is hosting this show on ETV and this game show is more or less like the famous Kapil Sharma Show in Telugu. The first episode will see the team of Kalyanam Kamaneeyam promoting their film and Chiru will grace the second episode with his director Bobby.
Until now, Chiranjeevi has only attended a few talk shows and events to promote his films. But he going to a brand new show is the first time ever and this shows how aggressive he has become when it comes to the promotions part. The film's pre-release business has been locked on a massive amount and the first weekend openings will be a key. So, for all this to happen, the megastar is making extra efforts.
Waltair Veerayya's director, Bobby will also be joining Chiranjeevi in this show which has already been shot. The action drama has music composed by Devi Sri Prasad and mass Maharaja, Ravi Teja will be seen in a key role in this film which will be out on the 13th of January as a Sankranthi special. For now, Chiru's big TV entry for film promotions has become a hot topic.

Moravec’s Paradox makes the insightful observation that because modern machines can perform complex calculations like finding the square-root of 3,492 in a spit-second, we naturally make the incorrect assumption that machines can also perform “simple” functions that a one-year-old child can do.
A one-year-old child giggles and laughs when I play “peek-a-boo” by taking my hand away from covering my face and saying “peek-a-boo!” then putting back my hand to cover my smiling face.
A young child instantly grasps the nature of this game.
But this is many times more complex in the individual instructions that must be broken-down for a machine to duplicate this same child’s game…to even begin to approach a smiling face and cheerful voice that could elicit laughter from a child.
The one-year-old sitting on the floor building a small tower using square wooden blocks is an activity that seemingly is so simple that a child can do it. Yet for a machine this child’s play is many times more complex, requiring the computer code-language instructions that must be programmed into the machine involving the concepts of the recognition, grasping, positioning, balancing, and not knocking over the other blocks as the tower is built.
Humans have roughly 100 different nerve cell-types, billions of neural networks, and trillions of neural network connections inside the limited cranial volume of the mind/brain.
If we theoretically attempt to manufacture an Agatha Christie machine robot that can artistically create bestselling murder mystery books, we would have to produce the same high-level independence of yes/no decision-making.
A human-like machine using artificial intelligence would have to be able to create the physical context for a child to correctly recognize that “peek-a-boo” is a humorous game, and equally difficult for an Agatha Christie machine robot to differentiate that some brilliant storyline plots create spellbinding suspense, but an infinite number of alternate, less brilliant plotlines do not.
Housing Construction and Debugging
An interesting aspect that is part of the career of building construction that I worked in, is that houses are too large in size to be fully assembled in one central, factory location and then shipped to their individual building sites.
This means that the debugging that can occur on the mass-production assembly-line during the initial trial-run phase, to get the manufacturing of each identical product assembled in the most efficient and cost-effective way, cannot be utilized in new housing construction because of this inhibiting factor of large size.
Everyone knows in new building construction that the architects, engineers, and interior designers cannot invest the time to produce perfect design plans and still economically make a profit.
Every new building construction project, starting with the smallest size house (two-bedroom/two-bath), must individually debug the problems and mistakes onsite as they arise, that otherwise would be identified and corrected in-mass through upfront, initial trial-runs that are the normal process for identical products being manufactured in large numbers on mass-production assembly-lines.
The key point here is that the issues and problems discovered as they arise unexpected during the various phases of the new housing construction, can beneficially be pushed backwards in time on mass-production assembly-lines to the highly condensed, upfront, trial-run phase…because the products can be shipped after they are fully assembled.
This vital feature eliminates the respond-in-the-reactive-mode, daily occurrence in housing construction of “putting-out fires” as unexpected and unanticipated problems are unearthed as each new phase of the work materializes…which otherwise would be unacceptable on a daily basis in mass-production manufacturing.
Extending this concept to the creation of the universe at the Big Bang, how difficult would it be to manufacture an essentially error-free physical universe without the benefit of a trial-run?
The speed of light generated at the Big Bang has one optimum numerical value, but has an infinity of possible “no” choices that were deliberately rejected at time t=0.
The force of gravity generated at the Big Bang has one very specific value that coordinates and integrates within an accompanying suite of other mathematical constants and values in the cosmos, with an infinity of possible “no” choices that appear to be deliberately rejected according to recognizable, upfront intention…again at time t=0.
The expansion rate of the universe generated at the Big Bang has one fine-tuned value that enables other realities to compliment and coalesce into a universe that supports complex life like ourselves.
This expansion rate appears to have no conceivable trial-run debugging phase to achieve error-free function, popping-out at the Big Bang at time t=0.
Murder mystery stories can go in enumerable directions, some of which produce timeless bestsellers and some that do not.
Quantum mechanics now tells us that mathematics can be constrained upfront to limit the solutions coming out of a wave function to enable a universe like ours to pop-out of non-material mathematics into a physical world, at the first moments of the Big Bang.
This requires a Mathematical Physicist in existence prior to the creation of time to put-in the required constraints into the quantum physics equation to actualize a functional universe like this one.
This moderating discretion of choice-making between function reveals “yes” options and “no” rejections that could otherwise have created a life-prohibitive universe.
According now to the most recent science this intelligent choice-making had to be in existence before the Big Bang creation of space and time, putting-in the necessary constraints into the quantum mechanics of the mathematical wave-function equation even before there was such a physical reality of quantum mechanics.
The limitations of large size imposed upon the pursuit of mistake-free efficiency in new housing construction reveals that the foresight of human designers to imagine final outcomes on paper that materialize into physical buildings, still lacks the quality of divinely timeless foresight that could eliminate upfront every crash and collision of building elements competing for the same space.
These crashes and collisions are commonly resolved daily on every new mass-production assembly-line having the feature of an initial, trial-run debugging phase.

William Wordsworth: A Poetic Life (Paperback)John L. Mahoney (author)
Paperback 301 Pages / Published: 01/01/1996
- We can order this
Wordsworth: A Poetic Life is a new biography of the great father of British Romanticism. It is new in several ways, most notably in the way it approaches the life of the poet. Paying its proper respect to the classic lives of Wordsworth by Mary Moorman and Stephen Gill, it attempts to tell the story of the life through a more rigorous reading of key and representative works of the poet, through careful blending of life and poetry. Wordsworth offers the story of the literariness of the poet's life - childhood and adolescence in the Lake District, education at Cambridge, love and political radicalism in France, the long period of residence in Grasmere and Rydal, celebrity, and national and international recognition. Its reading of the poems, in tune with current theoretical practice, offers a sense of the continuities in Wordsworth's career as it moves away from familiar theories of a Golden Decade of creativity and a period of long decline. The book also works closely and rigorously with Wordsworth's poetry as a method of dramatizing the essentially poetic character of the poet's life.

Newton Faulkner: Interference (Of Light)
Having already given us brilliant records such as Human Love and Hit The Ground Running, Surrey based singer-songwriter Newton Faulkner is back with his incredible new album Interference (Of Light) which was released in August 2021. Having been a fan of his music for many years now, I was extremely excited to experience what this maestro of music had to offer with this latest instalment of his evolution.
The album draws you in immediately with the enticing vibes of opening track, Sinking Sand, which while may sound abstract at first, when you really open your eyes to the lyrics is extremely relatable, not to mention Newton’s ever so inviting vocals to guide you through music. With this being the opening track of the record, it is clear that Newton is certainly not going to hold back when it comes to building that instant connection between himself and the listener.
Keeping the energy flowing, Sinking Sands blends nicely into the second track, Cage, which I would probably say is one of my favourites. What I love about it is that it thought provoking in a somewhat unapologetic way, in the sense that it almost feels like we are being encouraged to sit down be real about our feelings and our lives. For example the lyrics, ‘Bury your head in the sand, hoping, that it won't last too long, how you ever gonna be happy, somewhere you don't belong’, poetic, raw and really packs a punch but with good intentions in mind. As a guy listening to Cage, it actually feels quite refreshing, because feels like I am not just listening to an album but that I am also sitting down to an honest heart to heart chat with Newton Faulkner.
From this heart reaching song, then comes the third track on the album, Back, which is such an endearing and upbeat song I feel because if you truly listen carefully, it is one which comes from a place of strength and hope. I feel confident that if you were a first time listener and this track popped up on your music playlist, Back would be the song to put a smile on your face and bring you some much needed inspiration.
Three songs down, and first impressions are telling me that as an album Interference (Of Light) is certainly ticking all the right boxes, and has already demonstrated what makes Newton such the gifted and talented architect of music we all know him for. So what about the rest of the album? With this record consisting of 17 tracks, all impressive in their own way, there is just so much on offer for any music fan regardless of whether you have been listening to Newton’s music over the years or if this is your first ever encounter. While part of me tells me I should take you through the album track by track, my mind tells me it would be much more productive to point out a few other personal favourites which I would recommend to any first time listener.
My first recommendation would be Here Tonight. When you compare it to rest of the album this track is one of the much more stripped back songs where you can see that even with just an acoustic guitar and his captivating vocals and heart felt lyrics, Newton’s music continues to be so powerful on so many levels. Imagine being stood at a intimate gig and you know Here Tonight was coming up on the set list, I can visualise total silence in the room as eyes are fixed on Newton as he captivates our lives with this truly beautiful song. It’s filling me with butterflies just thinking about it.
Another recommendation would be, I Can Pretend, which for me I found a real connection with the moment I listened, because it is the kind of song which you are aware or not, will get you to think about your life and the places, situations and even the people you look for love. Everything about this this song is special from the lyrics, to the gentle pace of the track itself which is so catchy that you will find yourself humming along to the lyrics and probably pressing that replay time a few times as well.
If you are looking for the wild cards of this album, there are quite a few that certainly keep you on your toes as a listener, but if I was to highlight just one it would probably be The Sun Is Coming Up. When I first pressed play, as it has a slightly different vibe to the other tracks I thought to myself oooo this is different, but different in a good way. Newton is no stranger of pushing the creative boundaries when it comes to making music, and The Sun Is Coming Up is certainly one of those tracks which demonstrates that so well. The same can also be said for Rest Of Me which is equally quite intricate as a song, as there are just so many components which give the track that extra level of vibrancy with that signature Newton Faulkner touch.
My final recommendation would be the penultimate track on the album, It’s Getting Late. It is one of those those tracks that brings together all the different elements we have experienced throughout the album and blends them brilliantly into one song - Newton’s incredible skills as a singer-songwriter, his ability to explore different sonic landscapes and most important of all create that connection where the listener is kept at the centre as they are drawn in by his ever so relatable lyrics. As a song, It’s Getting Late also has a lot of emotion, and it is hard not to feel touched after you have opened your heart to the message behind the song.
So there we have it, just a few of my thoughts and recommendations about the incredible new album by Newton Faulkner. As a I said earlier, Interference (Of Light) has a lot to offer music fans, and you can certainly see this album as testimony of his continued growth as an artist who is not afraid to push himself and bring great music and creativity together. So if you want to wanting experience that for yourself too then be sure to check out Interference (Of Light) today! Trust me, it will be one of the best journeys you will ever take!

Mabel’s litter of LionLops are now ready to be reserved - they are ready to leave us on the 24th April when they’re 8 weeks old.
We have 2 does and 2 bucks
Safety Notice: NEVER send a payment or deposit online before viewing the Pet to confirm the advert is genuine. Read our Covid-19 safe buying guide.
Be extra cautious with online transactions!
We encourage you to read these guidelines before buying or adopting a rabbit.
Carry out the research so you have all the necessary knowledge of the pet you are getting. Since owning a rabbit is a big commitment, you should research about the breed fully to make sure it fits your current lifestyle and budget.
Take time to visit the advertiser's home to confirm if they are genuine. Do not settle for online communications and photos. UK Pets does not verify the authenticity of all advertisers. The advertiser should allow you to personally see the rabbits. If they keep on giving you excuses why you could not visit their home or the address stated in the advert is not the accurate and permanent location of the pet, consider this a red flag.
Never pay anything online through money transfer companies especially if you have not personally visited the advertiser and seen the pet, this includes deposit and delivery cost for the pet. There is also no means to recover your money if issues arise. Before closing a deal.
The advertiser should only release the rabbits when they are 8 weeks old or older. They should be responsible enough to know that separating the rabbit from the mother earlier results in medical and behavioural issues.
Pet shops across the UK banned the sale of rabbits during Easter. The UK’s largest pet retailer, Pets at Home, spearheaded the campaign and provided free workshops that teach responsible pet ownership. They aim to encourage and enlighten families about the requirements of having rabbits as pets
Rabbits are fun and sweet pets. However, do not let their small size get you thinking that they do not require as much care as feline or canine pets. Having rabbits at home also need full- and long-term commitment as they need regular care, and a house rabbit can live up to 12 years. To help you start your rabbit ownership on the right foot, we have drawn up the following basics on caring for your bunny.
Beyond the warmth of their companionship, pets are also instigators of social interaction. They may help you start conversations with people that may lead to friendship or romance. Or they may simply strengthen the bonds of familial love.

I never played football. I barely understand the rules. I mean I get the basic rules: you get four chances to keeping moving the ball 10 yards until you get to the part of the field where you find your team’s logo and what appears to be two festivus poles attached by a bar. And I understand that the goal is to get to this logo pole area with the ball (that isn’t even round) before getting the shit kicked out of you and possibly suffering lifelong injuries.
But I really have no clue what these referees are talking about with these little flags or why they are dressed like prison inmates. In fact, when the referees talk, it’s like I’m listening to the grown-ups speak on a Charlie Brown special.
I probably don’t grasp the flag stuff because I learned the rules to football from my cousin’s hand-held electronic football toy where there were no flags – only little player dots.
I also never go out of my way to watch football. But when the super bowl is on, it is sometimes fun to watch parts of the game in between commercials.
While it is pretty obvious that football is not my thing, if I ever were to play it, I would totally play defense. I’d be that little corner dot that comes out of nowhere and knocks down the dot trying to pass the ball.
I just seem to have a knack for defense.
And I have been known to surprise opponents in turning their offensive stance into a defensive one.
I am at my strongest when I am defending myself against unwarranted attacks.
I don’t know why. Maybe it’s just easier to justify fighting when being forced to. Or perhaps, it’s just the stoic in me.

A new website (www.housinginiowa.org), developed by Global Reach Internet Productions, is helping evacuees of the Katrina disaster to find housing in Iowa. Sponsored by the Iowa Finance Authority (IFA), the website allows property management firms and property owners to post their vacant properties to the site. The website provides advanced search functions to help evacuees and organizations assisting them to find housing that will serve their immediate needs. “We are glad to partner with IFA, helping the disaster evacuees to find a place to live in Iowa”, said Iacovos Zachariades, President and CEO. "This project would normally take 2 months to develop, yet Global Reach pulled most of its resources over the Labor Day weekend and had this live on Tuesday afternoon, 96 hours after it was assigned to us."
Iowans are participating in the relief effort by listing their vacant homes, apartments, and even rooms that may offer accommodation for evacuees. Since its launch on Tuesday, September 7th, the website has had more than 750 properties listed that can accommodate up to 3000 individuals.
About the Iowa Finance Authority (IFA): Established in 1975, IFA undertakes programs to assist in the attainment of housing for low- and moderate-income Iowans. For more information please go to www.ifahome.com

Someone left a nearly one and a half meter long caiman, a crocodilian in the Alligatoridae family, in a box at the entrance of sea aquarium Tropicarium in Budapest’s 22nd district, TV channel RTL Klub reported.
The animal’s former owner left some additional information on the box: “Tropicarium, please adopt me!,” “130 cm long caiman,” and “Beware, it bites!!!”
Reportedly, the zoo’s workers who found the box first thought it was a joke and expected a plush animal to be inside. Opening the package, however, it became clear that they weren’t being pranked and the box indeed contained a live animal.
The animal’s mouth was tied with a rope to avoid biting. It is unknown where it had been kept thus far and why it was surrendered.
“Spectacled caimans live predominantly in South America; in Hungary, it is illegal to keep them at home. For the time being, it was taken to a closed area humidified with fresh water,” the report stated.
Image by RTL Klub
Spectacled caimans are crocodilian alligatoridaes, a specimen that can grow up to two and a half meters. They are not particularly dangerous to humans, their teeth however, are razor sharp. In the Tropicarium, there is already one representative of the species, named Kálmán, but unfortunately the two cannot be put together.

The Programme for Government contains a commitment to further improve the energy efficiency of new buildings with a view to moving towards carbon neutral homes in the longer term. In tandem with this commitment, Directive 2010/31/EU on the energy performance of buildings requires EU Member States, inter alia, to ensure that all new buildings will be nearly zero-energy by 31 December 2020 (or by 31 December 2018 in the case of new buildings owned and occupied by public authorities). The Directive broadly defines a ‘nearly zero-energy building’ as a building with a high energy performance where the very low amount of energy required should, to a very significant extent, be met by energy from renewable sources, including renewable energy produced onsite or nearby.
Against this background, Ireland has been making significant progress in terms of both improving energy efficiency and reducing carbon dioxide emissions within the built environment. The statutory minimum energy performance standards (including insulation requirements) for dwellings are addressed under Part L of the building Regulations and the accompanying Technical Guidance Document (TGD L Dwellings). Taking the energy efficiency requirements established in 2005 as the benchmark, the Building Regulations (Part L Amendment) Regulations 2007 set the requirements necessary to achieve a 40% improvement (over the 2005 standards) in the energy and carbon performance of new dwellings. These regulations came into effect on 1 July 2008 subject to certain transitional arrangements.Energy performance requirements were further upgraded under the Building Regulations (Part L Amendment) Regulations 2011, and the accompanying TGD L Dwellings 2011 sets out the current minimum energy performance and insulation requirements. These regulations came into effect on 1 December 2011 and build on the substantial improvements already introduced under the 2007 regulations by delivering a 60% aggregate improvement (relative to 2005 standards) in both the energy and carbon performance of new buildings. Part L 2011 marks an important step on the road to carbon neutrality and puts Ireland at the forefront of EU Member States in terms of energy efficiency standards for new dwellings. All the signs indicate that Irish builders and manufacturers continue to innovate and adapt their approaches and products to meet new standards as they continue to evolve progressively over time. This is important in terms of continuing the development of the market for energy efficient buildings and products domestically while also increasing the considerable potential that exists for high energy efficiency products in export markets. The on-going review of regulations is important in maintaining the momentum that has already been created in this regard.
My Department is also working on the development of a framework for achieving a nearly zero energy framework for dwellings in order to meet our obligations under Directive 2010/31/EU within the prescribed timeframe. It is anticipated that the nearly zero energy framework for dwellings will require further amendments to the building regulations over and above the recent Part L 2011 requirements.

BROWNSVILLE — After news broke Monday evening that Republicans and Democrats have reached a possible deal that would bring new border barriers to the Rio Grande Valley, U.S. Rep. Filemon Vela, D-Brownsville, said it’s impossible to say precisely where any new infrastructure will be located.
“We won’t know precisely until they give us a final product. But I vehemently oppose whatever it is. Best guess is it fills in gaps in Cameron, Hidalgo and Starr,” Vela said in an email. “We submitted language to spare 12 miles from Boca Chica beach towards Brownsville along Lower Rio Grande Valley Refuge but remains to be seen. No matter where the fencing is I am an absolute NO.”
The Associated Press reported that congressional negotiators reached a tentative agreement to fund the Department of Homeland Security for nearly $1.4 billion that would include financing for 55 miles of new border fencing in the Rio Grande Valley.
Earlier this month, U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Brownsville, announced that he included language that would protect SpaceX, the National Butterfly Center, La Lomita Historical Park, Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park and the Santa Ana Wildlife Refuge from new border barrier construction.
It’s unclear whether the tentative agreement includes those protections.
President Donald Trump, who held a campaign rally in El Paso Monday night, had previously called for $5.7 billion for the construction of 215 miles of border wall.
CBP has said the Rio Grande Valley Sector is an area of high illegal activity and says more border wall is needed as a persistent impediment to transnational criminal organizations. CBP has also said that it is taking steps to expeditiously plan, design and construct a physical wall in an effort to implement Trump’s executive order directing CBP to build a wall along the southwest border.
If the tentative deal is passed by both chambers of Congress, it would head to Trump’s desk. On Tuesday, the president said he was not happy with the proposal, but did say he did not and would not accept another government shutdown, the Washington Post reported.

A contemporary art museum might be the last thing you’d expect to find in Walsenburg, Colorado. But there is one, just two and a half hours south of Denver and nestled near the Spanish Peaks among vacant buildings and coal-mining memorials.
This is "The City Built on Coal" -- an industry, along with its many workers and their families, that left town long ago. Now Walsenburg is struggling over its identity.
When it comes to the question of “who are we,” the locals have pretty strong feelings, says MaryJo Tesitor. She grew up on a nearby ranch and now helps edit the Huerfano World Journal, the local newspaper. It’s because Huerfano County, one of Colorado’s oldest and poorest counties, is still evolving. She has seen a lot of changes, especially after the last coal mine closed in the 50s.
“There was storefront after storefront that were empty,” she says of Walsenburg. “People were leaving in droves because it was always based upon the coal economy, and people just weren't sure what to do.”
Many residents agree that the town has some crucial needs, like jobs, housing and school funding. There’s a number of ideas to boost the economy, like marijuana growhouses and tiny home subdivisions. But none of these have panned out yet.
Walsenburg has plenty to offer visitors, from its natural beauty and history to music festivals, Tesitor says. The challenge is getting people to stay.
“That’s really where I see the future of this community, these people coming in with great ideas,” she says. “That’s what makes a community grow.”
The Museum Of Friends, the aforementioned contemporary art museum in downtown, has potential to play a role in that growth. Brendt Berger and Maria Cocchiarelli opened the museum nearly 10 years ago.
“Every work of art in here is a gift, from the artist, either to me or Maria,” says Berger, a native Californian.
Cocchiarelli herself is from New York, where they both met nearly 30 years ago. They’ve lived all over the country. After marrying, they decided to settle in Huerfano County. Berger had lived in the town of Gardner for a while. In 2005, he bought a two-story building on Walsenburg’s Main Street that housed retail space. After renovating the space, Museum Of Friends was born.
It’s a grassroots effort. Here, the value of the art comes from the personal stories behind each of the more than 600 works.
Take a painting that Berger says “saved my life,” for example. It’s by his friend Arnold Weschler of New York City. The canvas, with colorful, curving lines, has slashes across the surface.
“The person I was living with at the time took a knife to this painting and just started slashing it,” he says. “That could have been me, very easily.”
The collection ranges from pieces by an artist collective based in Aguilar, Colorado, to Polynesian artifacts from Berger’s family from Hawaii. Museum Of Friends also hosts rotating exhibitions. Cocchiarelli considers their annual “Earth” show to be of particular importance because Coloradans “know the necessity of being good stewards of the land.”
The landscape has drawn many artists to Southern Colorado over the years. In fact, Berger got to know the area by visiting the secluded Libre artist community in the 1960s. It was one of a handful in the region that took inspiration from Drop City near Trinidad.
Berger’s friend and Libre co-founder Dean Fleming lives in a geodesic dome, built as a home and art studio nearly 50 years ago. He was looking for natural beauty and to be surrounded by friends. It also helped that it was inexpensive. The dome looks out at the Huerfano Valley and Sangre de Cristo mountains. Spanish names like these recall the many Hispanic people who settled in the region long ago.
“Libre” is the Spanish word for “free,” and that’s what artists wanted. But Fleming says the Libre artistic community hardly made a ripple in Walsenburg. So when Brendt Berger wanted to start an art museum downtown, Fleming says he questioned the idea.
“I said, ‘Boy you are coming into a rough place, nobody is going to show up.’ There was so little interest in that town.”
Now though, he says Berger and Cocchiarelli’s patience is paying off.
The community was actually pretty welcoming and supportive when Museum Of Friends opened, Cocchiarelli says. When the people and shops left, it was hard on the museum to lose those connections. Still, she hopes they can help revitalize downtown Walsenburg.
"I believe the Museum Of Friends is the destination,” Cocchiarelli says. “This is the reason that people will come here."
Others feel Walsenburg’s coal-mining history should stay a priority. Local business-owner Gaye Davis, who grew up on her family’s homestead near Walsenburg, helped bring a new park called Miners Plaza to town. Right across the street from the Museum Of Friends, the small public space has wooden beams that mimic a mine shaft and minecarts with planted flowers.
“It just seems logical to latch on to that identity, expand on it, celebrate it and use it to understand how we got here,” Davis says.
She also hopes the plaza gives way to a historic walking tour around downtown, where there’s the Walsenburg Mining Museum a couple blocks away.
But, Davis adds, the community should learn from the boom and bust of coal that it can't rely on one single thing to drive the economy.
At Museum Of Friends, Maria Cocchiarelli wants to make art more accessible for people around Huerfano County. So far they’ve worked with groups like school children and prison inmates.
Cocchiarelli says her first visit to the Brooklyn Museum growing up in New York made her realize how art can give people a voice.
"What I do now here is basically replicate that experience for other people to have," she says.
Meanwhile, the museum plans to renovate its more than 100-year-old historic building. And with all that work ahead, Cocchiarelli says the Museum Of Friends is here to stay.

Books about Australian animals to share with children. Australia has so many wonderful creatures large and small that can’t be found anywhere else in the world. A great way to introduce Australia to your children before you move (or even to teach them more when they arrive) is to find out about all the great animals and birds there are here!
It will also make them feel more at home at school when other kids talk about possums, kangaroos and wombats! I have loved learning about the different animals and I enjoy reading some of these books to the children I teach.
So here are some great books about Australian animals to share with children!
BABY TO AGE 2
AN AUSTRALIAN ABC OF ANIMALS
An Australian ABC of Animals is a beautifully illustrated alphabet book by well-known Aboriginal artist Bronwyn Bancroft. A great way to introduce the alphabet and explore Australian wildlife! Animals include: kangaroo, bandicoot, wombat, echidna, cockatoo, frog and goanna—and many more.

DIARY OF A BABY WOMBAT
A wombat’s work is never done! The star of the international bestseller Diary of a Wombat is back with a new mouth to feed! .
A great book f0r 5-7 year olds an a firm favourite in Australia! Got to love the possums!
Early one morning when the sun came out, Six woolly wombats went walkabout.
This whimsical counting poem follows six brave little wombats on walkabout in the Australian outback. But the wilderness is bound to bring more excitement than an innocent counting game. Soon enough, the curious wombats learn to beware the hungry dingo!
SOMETIMES I LIKE TO CURL UP IN A BALL
Sometimes I like to curl up in a ball
So no one can see me

Update: Ive added a wonderful AZoo Mignon 60 HOB filter which has created some water flow in the cylinder. This filter was specifically chosen as it perfectly mounts on the round rim of the cylinder and the flow is adjustable down to a trickle if needed.
A fluval mesh bag was attached to the intake and ziptied to prevent accidental deaths. the shrimp stop by hourly to pick off the hair algae that has collected on there.
I have decided to take out about 50% of the plants to provide more volume for swimming (mainly for my 1 endler fry) and also to cut back on the massive growth which has pretty much taken over the tank. It has also given me a clearer view of my berried snow white crystal whom seemed to have dropped a few of her eggs but still carrying most of her clutch.
I have acquired some Red ramshorn snails that will be replacing the pond snails shortly.
my first spinach feeding has been pretty successful. the larger leaf was held down my moss in the lower part of the tank where the shrimp feasted, and a smaller leave floated where some how 2 pond snails managed to jump on. due to the water flow of the azoo, the leaf has been spinning for several hours with the snails still feeding. kinda funny to watch actually...
I sit back and watch how simple and beautiful this tank has been over the past few months not to mention being able to keep an eye on peewee shrimp that has grown to be juvies since that would have been lost otherwise in the larger tanks... very pleased with this cylinder and would highly recommend it to anyone considering setting up a planted bowl.
I started dosing Calcium in the bowl and it seems to work... or rather, there werent any negative side affects. no deaths... Water changes have been nonexistent. i typically suck out the crumbs in the feeding dish and top off as much though my brita water pitcher. no fancy RO here.
three RED Ramshorn snails were added today. they are beautiful. shrimp seem to like cleaning them and they are much prettier than the pond snails which will soon be rehomed to another tank.

GREAT LIVES is Now Availableby BWW News Desk - Apr 11, 2016
Educational publisher Simply Charly is pleased to announce the launch of a new series of brief yet comprehensive biographies exploring the fascinating-and often misunderstood-lives of some of history's greatest authors, scientists, politicians, philosophers, and artists.
Written by prominent scholars, academics, and other experts, the 'Great Lives' series is specifically designed for a general audience. It offers engaging and accessible introductions to many of the men and women whose genius profoundly changed their world and, in many cases, ours. The books not only illuminate their subjects' lives, but, especially in the case of writers, also offer significant insights into their bodies of work.
'People love to discover and explore the lives of history's great men and women,' says Charles Carlini, founder of Simply Charly and CEO of Carlini Media. 'However, we've found that they relate better to books that are concise and written in an interesting, attention-grabbing manner. Ours are exactly that: brief, but comprehensive and compelling. And that's why we used the word 'simply' in the titles.'
The first slate of books-which includes Simply Darwin, Simply Dirac, Simply Dickens, Simply Faulkner and Simply Wittgenstein-will be released in digital form at the end of April 2016, with print versions to follow. Additional titles in the series, focusing on Ernest Hemingway, Jane Austen, Alfred Hitchcock, James Joyce, Richard Wagner, René Descartes, Virginia Woolf, and many others, will be published later this year.
The e-books are priced at $7.99 and paperbacks at $8.99.
The series has garnered considerable advance praise and critical acclaim. David Paroissien, editor of Dickens Quarterly, called Paul Schlicke's Simply Dickens an 'eminently accessible portrait, expertly blending the contours of Dickens's multivalent activities with commentary on his development as a novelist.'
Similarly, David Sepkoski, Research Scholar at Max Planck Institute for the History of Science, said that Simply Darwin-whose author Michael Ruse is one of the world's foremost experts on the history of evolution-'provides an entertaining, stimulating, and provocative account of the life and legacy of Charles Darwin. This is one of the best short summaries of the topic available.'
