Cloud Control has been nominated in the Jagermeister Independent Music Awards after just being signed to UK label Infectious Records.
This also means fans of the band also have a chance to win flights, accommodation and 2 tickets to the event in Melbourne on Friday 1st October 2010 just by voting for their favourite artists here.
Not bad so far for an independent band huh? Yeah we thought so too. So NovaFM took a moment to quiz the bands keyboard player and vocalist Heidi Lenffer.
Explain how you guys came to be a band in a different type of stage setting?
The chaos and opportunity of university campus life can make for bold decisions. Entering a band comp, flippantly, and without a band, falls into this category. I assembled the members once the entry was in and four songs were written in less weeks. Withdrawing from the comp was always an option if the whole thing fell on its face. In fact, the whole experiment was meant to be over in 5 weeks... but sometimes you just need to run with something when it's working and now it's been nearly 5 years. Who could have known?!
What drew you together and explain some of the influences that make up your band that people wouldn’t expect?
Aphex Twin on beats. Gordon Lightfoot on melody. Robert Miles on song structure. Yo La Tengo on cool.
What was your first musical memory that inspired you to want to make your own music?
My mother enrolled us in group music tuition when we were little tackers. The teacher told me I was good at inventing melodies and encouraged me to transcribe them in a little booklet. The book had 9 songs, and I lost it, but not before I performed one of them on a grand piano at the Joan Sutherland performing arts centre when I was 8 - my biggest gig.
What was your reaction when you found out about this year’s nominations?
We're pretty out of the industry loop- which happens when you're from the mountains- so to be honest, the accolade wasn't on our radar at all, which made the nomination all the more exciting. And to be chosen along with some of our band-friends adds to the party - like being picked for the same soccer team! There are so many great local bands and Australia has a small enough scene that it's pretty feasible to be able to tour or play with all of them at some stage. That's pretty special.
How badly do you want to take home a trophy at this year’s awards?
There's a trophy?! Well wouldn't that be great! It would go straight to the pool room next to Ulrich's 'best and fairest'!
What do you have to be wary of on tour and why?
Making time to break out of the limited space circuit of plane-taxi-venue-taxi-accom-taxi-venue-taxi-plane. You could tour Australia your whole life and quite easily just transfer yourself between dark enclosed spaces all over the country. Sometimes you can accidentally slide in that direction unless you are a vigilant adventurer. It's not that hard to get up an hour earlier and explore the area. Actually I've never done that in the morning, but we do explore many neighbourhoods hunting for burger joints, and we often take the scenic routes. A memory that still makes us teary is when we bought 16 Cornetto ice-creams with Richard In Your Mind at Cottesloe beach in Perth and we kicked sand at each other in slow motion and laughed a lot. One time our band even went to the Eureka Stockade museum and became learned scholars of Australian history.
What are three bands/songs in your playlist that people should know about and why?
Stone Roses “Fools’ Gold” - Snappy 90's drum beat with sparse bass, bendy guitar riff and strangely funky stylings... makes me do an embarrassing dance but I love it too much to notice.
Cat Stevens “Tea for Tillerman” - Listen to the whole album. It's a stinking classic and a lesson in keeping song arrangements simple and striking. The lyrics are raw and immediate like hearing a friend vent at the pub. I don't know if he ever did find his Hard Headed Woman but I feel his angst every listen and wish him the best.
Beach House “Lover of mine” - A musical dream sequence.
What has been in your playlist that you’d prefer people NOT know about and why was it there?
I really don't care, 'bad' choices are as important as your 'good' ones... but okay, music I loved that might be shameful: Justin Timberlake – “Cry Me a River”. The whole back catalogue of The BeeGees. Three Plus – “Sukiyaki” (It's all because of you). Now that I type this out the common ground is clear: guy falsetto!
If your current release was a movie, what would it be?
Straight to DVD! Nah, probably BMX Bikers.
Tell us a secret or something special about your current release that might have gone un-noticed to casual listeners…
My mum thought up the title "Bliss Release". True fact. We'd been deliberating for a while over various options and asked Mama Lenffer to throw some suggestions in the mix. She messaged them through and we had a winner!
What is something about music or the music industry that you can’t stand right now?
The ubiquitous glockenspiel in indie music. When I tune into FBi and it's tinging away in 5 songs in a row it makes me wonder if one day it may replace the guitar as the mainstay backbone of indie songs. Nothing personal against the instrument- sometimes it's used perfectly (Sufjan Stevens, Tubular bells etc) but it has such a particular timbre that I don't think it should be used as an after-thought.
What’s the best thing you’ve ever seen someone get on a rider?
Vampire Weekend had a full-on lobster goggling at them in their band-room. That was a confronting sea creature to say the least!
What is one thing you haven’t done musically that you will be shooting for in the future?
We considered getting actors to respond dramatically to our music live for our October tour, but we couldn't pay them anything so they bailed. Instead the artists from Greedy Hen will be doing live visuals, which will be way better anway. I can't wait to tour just to see it all unfold!


On Wednesday, Springfield continued the homestand with game two of a three-game set with the Arkansas Travelers. The Cardinals received a great start from John Gast, as he went eight innings, allowing just one run on three hits, while striking out one. The Cardinals provided plenty of offense, including a 3-for-5, three RBI performance from Ryan Jackson as the Cardinals coasted to victory, 6-1.
On Thursday, Springfield finished the sweep of the Travelers with a 12-6 victory. Nick Additon was roughed up in his start (3 1/3 IP, 4 ER, 7 H, 3 BB, 3 K), but Scott Schneider came on and provided much-needed relief out of the pen. Schneider pitched 2 2/3 innings of perfect baseball and notched two strikeouts. Zack Cox hit his fifth home run of the season and drove in two, while Daryl Jones plated four runs.
On Friday night, Springfield welcomed Northwest Arkansas to Hammons Field with an 11-5 victory. Mike Blazek turned in a quality start, going 6 2/3, giving up three earned runs on six hits and striking out seven. Blazek earned his 10th win of the season with the performance. Ryan Jackson had quite the night, going 2-for-5 with a home run and driving in four. Jackson also made some dazzling plays in the field. Cox and Jose Garcia each had two RBI.
On Saturday, the Cardinals made it five in a row with a 11-5 win over Northwest. Shelby Miller made the start, but only went four innings, giving up three earned runs on six hits. Miller did strike out seven, but departed the game having thrown 101 pitches. Scott Schneider earned another win as the long man, coming in and throwing two scoreless innings out of the pen. The offense was powered by four RBI performances from Matt Adams and Eric Duncan. Clearing the bases with a two-out double that nearly left the park for a grand slam, Adams drove in RBI number 81 and took the Texas League lead.
Sunday night would see an end to the winning streak, as the Naturals bested Joe Kelly and the Cardinals, 9-1. Kelly went six innings and allowed three earned runs to earn the quality start, but he was tagged with his second Double-A loss. Newly-added Jeff Lyman gave up a grand slam to Cardinal-killer Jamie Romak to blow the game wide open.
Monday night saw Springfield rally behind their starting pitcher, John Gast, as they blew out the Naturals 7-1. Gast turned in another splendid home start, as he went six innings, allowing just one run on six hits while striking out six. Gast improved to 2-0, with a 0.86 ERA in three starts at Hammons Field. Eric Duncan hit a three-run home run and Daryl Jones added two RBI as the Cardinals took six of seven on their homestand and cruised right back into the pennant race.
On Tuesday, Springfield headed south to take on the first-half champions, the Arkansas Travelers. Arkansas had just welcomed back Mike Trout from the big leagues the night before Springfield arrived in town. The Cards sent Nick Additon to the hill, and he was very good, going six innings, giving up no earned runs on only three hits, while striking out five. Only four Cardinals had hits in the ballgame. Zack Cox had two, while Aaron Luna, Jermaine Curtis and Daryl Jones each had one. Springfield still carried a 5-4 lead into the ninth inning, and turned the ball over to David Kopp. It had been more than a week since Kopp last appeared in a save situation, but he remained perfect in the closer's role, nailing down his third save.
The Cardinals' offense – The team continues to play catch us if you can, as they averaged 7.1 runs per game in the month of July. Springfield boasts the highest team batting average in the league (.284) and has the most home runs (131) in the circuit as well.
Ryan Jackson – Jackson was hot enough to earn the Texas League Player of the Week award. Jackson is hitting .366 with a home run and eight driven in over his last ten games.

"Being Black is not a matter of pigmentation -- being Black is a reflection of a mental attitude."
-Steve Bantu Biko, (I Write What I Like, 1978)
People of African descent reflect a multiplicity of skin tones and phenotypic characteristics. Often times, however, when met by people who self-identify as “Black,” but do not fit into a stereotypical model of Blackness, many of us not only question their identity, but challenge their Blackness, and thus our potential relationship to them. A creative presentation of historical documentation, personal memoirs, and portraiture, (1)ne Drop: Conversations on Skin Color, Race, and Identity, literally explores the “other” faces of Blackness -- those who may not immediately be recognized, accepted, or embraced as “Black” in this visually racialized society. Through portrait documentaries (book and film), photography exhibitions, and public programming, the project intends to raise social awareness and spark community dialogue about the complexities of Blackness as both an identity and a lived reality.
Africana Studies scholar Yaba Blay, Ph.D., and award-winning photographer Noelle Théard are collaborating on an innovative new project: a photo essay book that explores the “other” faces of Blackness -- those folks who may not be immediately recognized, accepted, or embraced as Black in our visually racialized society. Entitled (1)ne Drop, a reference to the historical “one-drop rule,” the project seeks to challenge narrow, yet popular perceptions of what “Blackness” is and what “Blackness” looks like by pairing candid personal narratives with beautifully captured portraits.
“With this project, I wanted to look at the other side, or at least another side. When we talk about skin color politics, for the most part, we only discuss the disadvantages associated with being dark-skinned. We know about the lived experience of being dark-skinned in a society where lighter skin and White skin are privileged,” says Blay, the author for the project. “This is not to say that that discussion is over or resolved or that we need to stop discussing it. But we also need to start having more balanced and holistic conversations about skin color.”
Interesting, yes. Riveting even; but not enough to get it published.
Once upon a time, a good idea was all a writer needed to secure a book contract. Times have changed. In the past, one needed to get published in order to get recognized. Now, one needs to be published to get published -- a frustrating reality for unpublished authors. With publishers losing money on upwards of 80% of their book lists, they simply aren’t willing to take as many risks as they used to, especially not on unknown writers. So writers must now convince potential publishers that they can sell enough books to turn a profit. Blay and Théard are prepared to do just that.
To fund the project’s completion, Blay and Théard have launched a fundraising campaign on Kickstarter.com, an all-or-nothing crowdsourcing platform that enables artists and other artistic minds to raise the money they need to initiate, if not complete their creative projects. (1)ne Drop is hoping to raise a minimum of $9,000 by November 11 to cover a variety of expenses including travel, film processing, digital layout and graphic design, and the printing costs for a small number of books (maquettes). These books will be used to promote the project and to attract a publishing contract. (1)ne Drop's first exhibit will be Saturday, October 22nd at Taller Puertorriqueño in Philadelphia.

Every three years, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency requires states to review, update and — in many cases — strengthen their water-quality standards. Minnesota is in the middle of one of those reviews, and, for the first time, regulators are proposing setting a standard for phosphorus – a common pollutant that feeds algae growth – in rivers and streams.
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency also is considering toughening its standard for nitrate in rivers and lakes by weighing, not just the pollutant’s impact on human health, but also its effect on fish and other organisms in the water. The agency is considering measuring turbidity in a new way and establishing a new standard for a chemical compound — nonylphenol – that is formed from chemicals once widely used in industrial detergents and pesticides and in the production of paper. The compound is banned in Europe, and the EPA is working to phase out its use in the U.S.
The MPCA has announced its intent to set or upgrade the standards for phosphorus, nitrate and nonylphenol, but numerical limits have not been made public. Once the limits are proposed, probably by late spring, citizens will have until fall to informally comment on them. The changes will be subject to a hearing before an administrative law judge next year.
The Freshwater Society interviewed Mark Tomasek, a supervisor in the agency’s water quality standards unit, about the rule changes. To read the question-and-answer interview from the Facets newsletter, go to the Freshwater Society web site or click here.

When people talk about high-stakes testing in schools, they are usually referring to the emphasis placed on kids’ scores. But another aspect of standardized testing may have even bigger impacts on our kids’ success. Subjects that get tested get funded, so when budgets are tight, the arts — especially expensive instrumental music programs — can be the first to go. It’s a short-sighted decision that can have long-term effects on the quality of our kids’ education. It turns out, you really want to see your kid’s brain on music.
Research shows that children who receive arts education score higher in math and reading, and develop stronger critical and creative thinking skills. Arts education can even improve media literacy, because we are exposed daily to advertising and political messages that are crafted by artists to affect us in specific ways. For all these academic reasons, the arts — defined as theater, dance, visual arts and music — are recognized as core subjects in Washington state. But the most significant benefits of arts education extend beyond academic performance to the way the arts help us develop as people.
“Art is what makes humans unique from other creatures,” says Kelsey Thompson, band director at The Bear Creek School, an independent preschool–grade 12 school in Redmond. “We create from a very young age, and unfortunately I think we lose some of that as we grow up. Cultivating that creative side in kids all the way through school is what we hope will help them continue to be creators as adults. I think you’ll find that teachers push music for music’s sake, not for the math test score.”
As social-emotional learning (SEL) has become more common in schools, educators have found that the arts are already fully integrated with SEL principles. In the wake of a year of remote learning that put many music programs on hold and challenged kids’ social development and emotional well-being, the natural points of connection between music instruction and SEL are especially valuable.
“Art elicits an emotional response at a very basic level,” says Thompson. Quality arts instruction encourages kids to examine that response and to develop self-awareness as they improve their own performance.
“If we’re rehearsing a song, we might play just a couple measures of the song and then stop and ask, ‘How did that go for you? What do you need to fix?’ Music teachers are constantly asking those kinds of self-reflective questions in class and it’s forcing students to think in a different way than in their other classes,” says Thompson.
Learning an instrument also encourages self-regulation. While practicing, students learn to manage emotions such as frustration with a challenging piece of music. They also learn to manage the anxiety that precedes performance, first in class and eventually in public. When students go beyond solo instrument practice to join an ensemble, the SEL benefits are even greater, because it is an inherently social activity.
“Performing arts classes like drama and music involve a team. Like team sports, one person’s performance affects everyone else’s performance. Learning how to navigate that is super, super important because it translates to the workplace directly,” says Thompson.
In ensemble music classes like orchestra and band, students learn to hold themselves responsible to the bigger group. There’s no hiding in the back of the classroom, either, and the experience of participating fully in music class makes speaking up in other classes easier, too. Since everyone hits a wrong note sometimes, students learn to fail publicly and move on. Self-reflection, teamwork, and shared failures and successes are also the recipe for empathy. Participating in ensemble music is basically practice for living in society, with the added benefit of content learning.
Celebrating the journey may be the most important thing a parent can do to encourage their kid in music.
“A strong music program starts in kindergarten,” says Thompson. While instrumental music is rarely offered before middle school, students who learn general music in elementary school have an advantage in understanding the nature of ensemble music, learning to read music and careful listening. But as important as musical progress is, the sound of an ensemble performance is not the surest sign of a quality music program. Thompson says the most important indicator is the kids themselves.
“If the students are enjoying the experience, the teacher is probably doing a good job of making relationships through music, rather than simply teaching music,” says Thompson. “Encourage the squawking and encourage the squeaks because that’s how they get better.” The point is not perfection, it’s growth — another important SEL lesson. The listening experience at a middle school Christmas concert may be a far cry from Handel’s “Messiah” at Seattle Symphony, but at this stage, the sound is not the most important part of the performance. Remember, three months ago many of them didn’t even know how to hold their instruments.
“Yes, the performance piece is really important, but it should be about sharing their learning. Kids are excited to show their parents what they’ve learned,” says Thompson. So, if you want to support your child’s musical education, hold off on the musical criticism and express interest instead.
“Celebrating the journey may be the most important thing a parent can do to encourage their kid in music,” says Thompson. Ask questions about what they are learning in class. Even singing along to the radio and sharing your own imperfect voice is encouraging.
Of course, parents can only celebrate the journey if kids continue on it, and kids can be reluctant to practice.
“At the beginning, I think external motivators are important. Twelve-year-olds don’t always have intrinsic motivation,” says Thompson. The old guideline of 30 minutes daily will result in rapid progress. But Thompson cautions that it isn’t realistic for most families. It’s better to establish and reward a sustainable practice schedule than to fight over a too-ambitious one. It may take a while to establish a strong practice routine, but once kids start to see improvement, they are less likely to resist practice.
And Thompson promises that there will be improvement if your child sticks with it.
“Only about 5 percent of the population has true tone deafness. Kids are born musicians, and it’s our job as teachers to encourage that in them. And even if your family has no musical talent, it doesn’t have any bearing on the ability to enjoy and make music.”
Regardless of academic impacts and inborn talent, as long as you are human, learning to make music is valuable for its own sake.

Another great show is opening tonight at The Rose Theater! Omaha families are so lucky to have such high quality, CREATIVE arts right here in the community! This show is even more special as it was written by playwright-in-residence Brian Guehring. Weaving together two classic Hans Christian Andersen tales, The Grocer’s Goblin & The Little Mermaid is sure to delight the whole family!
With a twist to Andersen’s traditional stories, The Little Mermaid is told as a play-within-a-play as the curious goblin discovers the magic found within a good book. The show is anything but predictable with exciting twists with the turn of every page!
The show uniquely incorporates three different types of puppetry and projections. Imaginative sets take audience members from the grocer’s shop, through the pages of a book, and all the way under the sea!
Create at home
One of the coolest aspects (for the teacher in me), is the use of found-object puppetry. Throughout the show, the goblin grants various objects the ability to speak and magic seems to be lurking everywhere. With a little imagination, a spark of creativity, and maybe some glue, your little ones could easily make “puppets” of their own from ordinary objects around the house. Here’s a great resource to get you started!
It’s show time!
Performances: Jan. 31 – Feb. 16, 2014. Fridays at 7 p.m., Saturdays at 2 and 5 p.m., Sundays at 2 p.m.
Recommended Audience: Due to periods of extremely low lighting and overall show themes, The Grocer’s Goblin & The Little Mermaid is recommended for children ages seven and older. The run time is 60 minutes without an intermission.
Tickets: Single tickets are $18 each. Discount ticket vouchers are available at all area Hy-Vee stores for $14. Reservations required.
Purchase Tickets: Call (402) 345-4849 or click here to purchase online.

‘Egay’ makes landfall over Palanan in Isabela
Tropical Storm “Egay” has made a landfall over Palanan, Isabela, the state weather bureau said Saturday night in its 11 p.m. bulletin.
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said Egay was moving west northwest at a faster speed of 11 kilometers per hour from the previous 9 kph. It was last spotted in the vicinity of Palanan, Isabela, as of 10 p.m.
It continued to pack maximum sustained winds of 95 kph and gustiness of up to 120 kph.
Egay is forecast to be 115 kilometers north of Aparri, Cagayan, by Sunday afternoon, 60 km north of Basco, Batanes, by Monday afternoon and 400 km north northeast of Basco by Tuesday afternoon.
It will finally be outside of the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) by Wednesday afternoon, Pagasa said.
Public storm warning signal No. 2 remained hoisted over Kalinga, Apayao, Isabela, Quirino, northern Aurora, Cagayan, including the Babuyan and Calayan Group of Islands.
The rest of Aurora, Nueva Ecija, Nueva Vizcaya, Ifugao, Benguet, Mt. Province, Ilocos Sur, Abra and Ilocos Norte remained under signal No. 1 with Batanes being added in the 11 p.m. weather bulletin.
Metro Manila and other parts of the country will experience rain and thunderstorms as Egay will continue to enhance the southwest monsoon, Aurelio said in a press briefing.
“Due to the southwest monsoon enhanced by Tropical Storm Egay, Metro Manila, Bicol, Calabarzon and Mimaropa will have cloudy skies with moderate to occasional heavy rains which may trigger flash floods and landslides,” Aurelio said.
Meanwhile, another tropical storm is expected to enter the PAR on Wednesday or Thursday.
Tropical Storm “Chan-Hom,” which will be named “Falcon,” will enter through the upper-right corner of the PAR, Aurelio said.
But it will not “make landfall and no area will be affected because it is far,” he said.
Meanwhile, six Cebu Pacific flights were canceled on Saturday due to inclement weather.
In an advisory, the Manila International Airport Authority said the Manila to Busuanga and Manila to Tuguegarao flights and back were canceled “due to the monsoon rains brought by Tropical Storm Egay.”
The flights canceled were 5J 529, 5J 530, 5J 504, 5J 505, 5J 506 and 5J 507.
Cebu Pacific said it had “arranged additional flights to reaccommodate the affected passengers.”–Rick Alberto and Rima Granali with Kristine Felisse Mangunay

The temptation to ignore phone calls from creditors and debt collectors can be overwhelming, particularly when you are taking into consideration the anxiety that comes with thinking about massive debt. Naturally, ignoring the problem will only lead it to grow. Fundamentally, it may cause legal actions or bankruptcy, tribal loans and also you could find yourself losing your premises as a result. Creditors want you to definitely spend your bills promptly, however realize that it isn’t possible. What now ? inside situation?
Think about your credit report? Get a duplicate of one’s personal loan credit history. When you yourself have been refused due to bad reports, tribal loans you might want to look for mistakes. Consider your information of these reports are entered by clerks, and humans make mistakes. Even the slightest improvement within ratings could mean the essential difference between acceptance and getting rejected.
Loan areas in the usa are very active. This is why why numerous loan services are operating here. People and organizations provide such services. The real estate sector is looked at as a pot of gold by americans and in addition those that usually do not reside in the united states but want a share in the usa real estate pie. The advantage of availing these services is the fact that they provide detail by detail informative data on the home loan markets as well as techniques which are not traditional including reverse loan to be able to make it easier for customers to buy another home.
The best thing to do to prevent this is certainly to do business with your very own proposal for an adjustment or to speak with a tribal loans [Recommended Studying] modification agency for assistance. Precisely the monthly payments that have been being made before the application must also be detailed. This data must be listed getting a lender to see just what is being conducted with a modification.
Anytime a lender provides a loan to a debtor, they have been using a danger that the loan will not be paid back. One of the ways they determine that danger is by taking a look at your credit worthiness. When you have a poor credit rating, then your loan provider is taking a large risk in giving their a house equity payday loan. The chances are you won’t repay it. Meaning the rate the loan is greater. Or you have an excellent credit record, the lender will know the danger is small in expanding the loan to you, while the price may be lower.
3) submit an application for a no credit, payday loan. A payday loan, or cash advance, is tailored towards those who have bad or little credit. You’ll make use of your jobless advantages, disability, social security or child help repayments as an income requirement to get a loan. These are considered as regular monthly earnings and can help the job for a loan. There are not any credit ratings run whenever applying for this kind of loan.
For those who have low FICO scores below 600 and/or 550, the whole idea of taking out a loan can feel pretty intimidating. That’s because in many individuals experience, having a low credit rating means getting an automatic «no» from most loan providers. Or, it indicates getting a «yes, but.» after which they slip a contract across the dining table that shows an obscene interest rate written right there at the top. Ugghhh!
Once you speak to each loan provider, find out if they’ve any pre-payment charges. You will need to take out a loan that will not have such charges attached to it. That way, it is possible to lower the loan early (before final repayment is born) without spending such a thing extra. Which will save you big on interest payments!

60-plus years young Irish Texican recently relocated to a tropical paradise following long stints on the Outer Banks of NC and NYC. Finally have the means and opportunity to chase a dream deferred for 48 years of being a writer. According to friends and family very little happens that I don’t apply a humorous bent to, a bit quirky and sideways usually. I am a dichotomy of unreformed 1960’s hippie chick in designer clothes and Victoria’s Secret’s; come take a ride with me on my vida loca train.
At the end of many blogs I am adding just a taste of excerpts from my first novel, which is titled ‘Texas Toast’, a wickedly catty, and thinly-veiled autobiographical novel set in Texas farm country in the 1950’s, and following our heroine’s wild escapades through the beds and runways of the NY and European fashion biz in the 1970’s.

Why should I use RAND CLP?
RAND has broken the mold on traditional CLPs by creating RAND CLP: a non–toxic, nanoparticle infused all-in-one cleaner, lubricant and protectant. We have combined an eco-friendly, noncombustible biosynthetic base oil with the lubricating power of a proprietary nanoparticle compound to create unsurpassed, field-tested longevity per application. Backed by trusted professionals, RAND CLP will be there when you need it most.
How Does RAND CLP work?
RAND CLP uses a proprietary blend of nanoparticle compounds that bind to the metal surface of your firearm, creating a uniquely smooth and durable surface that protects against oxidation and carbon buildup, while at the same time providing ultra-effective lubrication that keeps the metal parts in your firearm moving smoothly and operating effectively.
How has RAND CLP been tested?
In the field: our product surpassed the competition in side-by-side controlled performance tests, with industry experts firing thousands of rounds without failure. RAND CLP has also outperformed when tested under extreme weather conditions both hot and cold.
In the lab: when compared to other products on the market, RAND CLP has the lowest coefficient of friction on record. RAND CLP is also formulated not to run or bleed into areas where it is not applied, giving you a more effective, targeted application.
Is RAND CLP eco-friendly? What is the flash point of RAND CLP?
Yes. RAND CLP is “green”, non-toxic, and biodegradable. Our patented, proprietary formulation combines naturally occurring nanoparticles with a noncombustible vegetable oil base. RAND CLP has an industry leading flash point of just over 600°F.
Will RAND CLP dry out?
No. RAND CLP is a patented formulation of recently discovered nanoparticles that engage with the surface of metal in ways never before observed. These particles form a durable bond with the metal of your firearm, creating a long lasting film that does not burn off or dry out like other typical lubricants. The combination of this bond and our perfect viscosity keeps RAND CLP where it is most needed with no running or bleeding into other areas.
How often should I clean my firearm?
You should pre-treat all your firearms with RAND CLP for rust protection prior to storing. This means running some RAND CLP through and on all the metal and friction points, leaving a thin layer. This will protect against oxidation and rust build up. You should also clean your firearm after each firing; however, because of the bond that RAND CLP forms with the metal of your firearm, your cleaning time will be cut in half.
How does RAND CLP stack up against the competition?
There is no other product in the world that offers the level of cleaning, lubrication and protection in one bottle like RAND CLP. We offer the lowest friction point on the market. RAND CLP is nontoxic, noncombustible and odorless.
Why should I use RAND Bore & Bolt?
We have created a non-toxic solvent with powerful cleaning properties that is virtually odorless. RAND Bore & Bolt is a Bio based solvent that is specially formulated to allow deeper penetration of carbon, powder, rust, and other fouling agents. It is also safe to use on all metals, polymers, and wood. You will spend less time cleaning, and more time shooting.
How Does RAND Bore & Bolt work?
Our solvent was created specifically to penetrate and remove carbon, lead, powder, rust, and other fouling agents by penetrating into the residue and removing it from the inside out. This makes removing built up carbon and powder almost effortless. When combined with RAND CLP, you will cut your cleaning time in half; especially after the second and third cleaning.
How has RAND Bore & Bolt been tested?
RAND Bore & Bolt has been vigorously tested in the field by Special Forces Sgt. Maj. Kyle Lamb (USA ret.), and is officially endorsed by his company Viking Tactics. Sgt. Maj. Lamb is meticulous in his research and testing before endorsing a new product, and his opinion is highly valued and sought after by people looking for high quality products.
Is RAND Bore & Bolt eco-friendly?
Yes. Bore & Bolt is a non-toxic, virtually odorless green solvent; it was formulated to be a better, safer, green alternative to toxic, petroleum based solvents. As a result, RAND Bore & Bolt can be applied in non-ventilated spaces with no adverse effects on the user…no more solvent headaches or oily residue on your hands.
How often should I clean my firearm?
You should pre-treat all your firearms with RAND CLP for rust protection when in storage. After every firing, your weapon should be cleaned with a combination of RAND CLP and RAND Bore & Bolt to eliminate all carbon and powder fouling, and to prevent rust. Continuous use of RAND CLP together with RAND Bore & Bolt will keep your firearm at peak performance, extend the life of your weapon, and significantly cut down on your cleaning time.
How does RAND Bore & Bolt stack up against the competition?
RAND Bore & Bolt is the future of weapons maintenance. Combined with RAND CLP, our products cut cleaning time while extending the life of your weapon in a non- toxic, non-combustible, odorless, eco-friendly package that is made in America.
Why Should I Use Rand H.A.W.G. Grease?
We have created a non-toxic, nanoparticle infused heavy weapons grease that is far superior to anything on the market. RAND H.A.W.G. uses the power of nanotechnology to protect your firearms from rust, corrosion, oxidation, and dirt while greatly reducing friction and wear. With our proprietary blend of nanoparticles and biosynthetic components, H.A.W.G. will last long after you have run out of ammo.
What Does H.A.W.G. Stand For?
H.A.W.G. stands for Heavy Applications Weapons Grease. H.A.W.G. was designed specifically to stand up to the extreme stresses and loads generated by heavy machine guns. Because of this durability, H.A.W.G. works extremely well on all weapons systems, lubricating and protecting your firearms for hunting, target shooting, or storage.
How Does RAND H.A.W.G. Work?
The nanoparticles infused into H.A.W.G. bind to and penetrate the small imperfections in the surface metal of your firearm, which creates a smoother, slicker surface. Combined with our newly formulated corrosion inhibitor, H.A.W.G. will lubricate and protect your firearm in any environment, and will outlast other, more traditional greases.
How Has Rand H.A.W.G. Been Tested?
In the lab: H.A.W.G. has been subjected to rigorous corrosion testing, passing the 100 hour salt spray test used by the U.S. Military. H.A.W.G. also has an extremely low coefficient of friction, and is rated for use in all temperatures from -30°F to 619°F. Your firearm will run smoother in most environments. In The Field: We have tested H.A.W.G. extensively, with corrosive ammo, high round counts and inside suppressors. It has performed flawlessly in both normal and extreme environments. The reduction in friction and heat associated with using H.A.W.G. minimizes the wear and maintenance time on your guns. H.A.W.G. works hard so you don’t have to.
Is Rand H.A.W.G. Eco-Friendly? What Is The Flashpoint?
Yes. H.A.W.G. is non-toxic and biodegradable. Our patented formula of naturally occurring nanoparticles combined with a biosynthetic grease base created this high performance, eco-friendly product. H.A.W.G. is also non-combustible and has a flashpoint of 619°F, which is one of the highest flashpoints of any product on the market.
Will Rand H.A.W.G. dry up or burn off?
No. Like RAND CLP, H.A.W.G.’s patented formulation of recently discovered nanoparticles bond to the surface metal of your firearm. The combination of this durable bond and high flashpoint means H.A.W.G. will not evaporate while you are shooting.
How Should I Use Rand H.A.W.G.?
After cleaning your firearm with RAND Bore & Bolt and RAND CLP, you should apply H.A.W.G. to your bolt, slide, recoil spring, and anywhere else you have metal on metal contact and moving parts. Manufactured to exacting standards, H.A.W.G. will not burn off, and will provide superior lubrication for the most extreme loads you can place on your firearm. H.A.W.G. is also an exceptional corrosion inhibitor. Using H.A.W.G. on your firearm before long-term storage is highly recommended.
How Does Rand H.A.W.G. Stack Up Against The Competition?
Simply put, H.A.W.G. has no competition. H.A.W.G. was specifically designed to lubricate and protect heavy weapons, and there is no other product on the market that offers the level of protection and lubrication H.A.W.G. provides, while remaining non-toxic, non-combustible, and virtually odorless.

The current outbreak of Ebola virus disease (EVD) is in the Democratic Republic of the Congo . There have not been any cases of Ebola in the Caribbean, and the overall risk assessment for the Caribbean region remains low. Continued monitoring of the situation will be conducted by the Caribbean Public Health Agency (CARPHA). The level of risk may change as new information becomes available.
Ebola virus disease (EVD) is one of numerous viral hemorrhagic fevers. It is a severe, often fatal disease in humans and nonhuman primates (such as monkeys, gorillas, and chimpanzees). Ebola is caused by infection with a virus of the family Filoviridae, genus Ebolavirus. When infection occurs, symptoms usually begin abruptly. The first Ebolavirus species was discovered in 1976 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo near the Ebola River.
This recent outbreak of Ebola virus disease (EVD) in the Democratic Republic of the Congo was first reported on 1 August 2018. It is the second-biggest Ebola epidemic ever recorded, the biggest being the West Africa outbreak of 2014-2016. Up to date case counts and further information on the ongoing outbreaks in Africa can be found on the World Health Organization website. Click here
The Caribbean Public Health Agency (CARPHA) is responsible for preventing disease, promoting and protecting health. Key functions of the Agency include providing leadership and coordination of regional public health responses to public health emergencies in the Caribbean. In light of the World Health Organization’s declaration of the Democratic Republic of Congo’s Outbreak of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) in July 2019, as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern, and bearing in mind the reality of rapid international travel, CARPHA seeks to keep the Caribbean population abreast of the Ebola public health issue and of the mechanisms being put in place to address this issue. Read more...
On July 17, 2019 the WHO declared the current Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). Currently, although the risk remains high for the DRC and surrounding countries, at the global level, the risk remains low. To date, no cases of Ebola virus disease (EVD) have been reported in the Caribbean region or countries outside of Central Africa. Read more...

Summer of George?
Seinfeld fans will recall neurotic George's declaration that he was going to end his second-guessing for one summer. "A George divided against George cannot stand," he reasoned.
In stark contrast, the Supreme Court yesterday found the 32-team National Football League to be 32 separate entities for purposes of section 1 of the Sherman Act. American Needle, Inc. v. National Football League et al. The unanimous decision reversed a 7th Circuit holding dismissing a suit by the former owner of a non-exclusive licensing contract with the unincorporated association. In his opinion, Justice Stevens emphasized that NFL teams "do not posses either the unitary decisionmaking quality or the single aggregation of economic power characteristic of independent action" in rejecting the NFL's self-characterization as one (large) business; likewise, the 7th Circuit's rationale that "NFL teams share a vital economic interest in collectively promoting NFL football" failed to carry the ball.
While American Needle's case now goes back to District Court for adjudication, the Supreme Court decision has potentially far-reaching, practical consequences for both NFL players (who must negotiate collective labor pacts) and consumers (who often pay high prices for replica apparel to vendors heretofore enjoying exclusive licenses). Further, the holding has ramifications for other leagues such as the NBA and NHL - will this be the end of the Summer of George for any of these groups?
The Supreme Court decision is available at http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/09pdf/08-661.pdf.

Indiana farmers intend to plant more corn and fewer soybeans compared to last year, with winter wheat acres remaining stable, according to the Greg Matli, State Statistician of the USDA NASS, Indiana Field Office.
Acres intended for corn in Indiana are 5.50 million acres, up 3 percent from last year. Indiana producers intended to plant 5.70 million acres of soybeans, a 4 percent decrease from last year. The 2019 winter wheat acreage seeded last fall is estimated at 310,000 acres, the same as the previous year. Hay acres intended for harvest, at 540,000 acres, is 6 percent above the 510,000 acres harvested the previous year.
Nationally, corn planted area for all purposes in 2019 is estimated at 92.8 million acres, up 4 percent or 3.66 million acres from last year. Compared with last year, planted acreage is expected to be up or unchanged in 34 of the 48 estimating States.
U.S. soybean planted area for 2019 is estimated at 84.6 million acres, down 5 percent from last year. Compared with last year, planted acreage is down or unchanged in 26 of the 29 estimating States.
Nationally, all wheat planted area for 2019 is estimated at 45.8 million acres, down 4 percent from 2018. This represents the lowest all wheat planted area on record since records began in 1919. The 2019 winter wheat planted area, at 31.5 million acres, is down 3 percent from last year but up 1 percent from the previous estimate. Of this total, about 22.4 million acres are Hard Red Winter, 5.55 million acres are Soft Red Winter, and 3.55 million acres are White Winter.

One big box (5mm) = 0.20 sec
One small box (1mm) = 0.04 sec
3 small boxes = 0.12 sec
The ECG paper runs at 25 mm/sec through the ECG printer.
P wave < 0.11 sec
PR interval ≤ 0.20 sec. Actually, the normal range is 0.12-0.20 sec. PR is prolonged if it’s more than one big box or five small boxes.
QRS interval≤ 0.10 sec. Some sources like the ACLS algorithms say QRS ≤ 0.12 (i.e. ≤ 3 small boxes).
QTc interval 0.33-0.47
Approach to Reading ECG
It’s vital to use a systematic approach. Mine is Rate Rhythm I AM QRST or Rate Rhythm I AM PQRST
-Rate – Is it fast or slow (i.e. tachycardia or bradycardia?)
-Rhythm (? relationship between P and QRS) – Regular / Irregular
-Intervals – QRS – Wide or narrow? PR interval prolonged/shortened? QT interval prolonged? NB: Intervals are the same in every lead. They are looking at the electrical activity.
-Axis (? LAD or RAD)
-Morphology (? LAA and or RAA? LVH and/or RVH)
-QRST changes (? Q waves, poor R-wave progression V1-V6, – Ischemia/Infarction present? – ST changes (ST elevation/depression), T-wave changes?
Mnemonic: Rate, Rhythm, I AM QRST: Rate, Rhythm, Intervals, Axis, Morphology, QRST changes.
Rate, rhythm, and intervals: Use one lead to examine them, e,g, Lead II if you have a 12 lead ECG
V1-V3 is the best place to look at QRS morphology.
Axis – Use I & aVF or I & II. See explanation here.
Chamber abnormality and QRST changes. You have to scan through all the 12 leads to look for these since they reflect specific morphological changes in the heart. E.g. Inferior MI will show in the inferior leads.
Electrophysiologist, Dr. Bhakta, approaches ECGs clinically to get the most urgent things first before focusing on other details. He asks 4 questions in order.
- Rate – Is it fast or slow (i.e. tachycardia or bradycardia?)
- QRS – Wide or narrow?
- Regular / Irregular
- Ischemia/Infarction present ? (ST wave changes, T wave changes?)
Wide complex tachycardias are impacting the pumping of the heart because it’s the ventricles that are that are pumping fast.
While AV block is first examined by determining the length of the PR interval, bundle branch blocks are first examined by determining the length of which electrocardiographic entity? The QRS complex.
An ECG is a Voltmeter
An ECG machine is a voltmeter (galvanometer). It is used to record the electrical impulses that stimulate the heart. The electrodes record a potential difference. The needle (or pen) of the ECG is deflected a given distance depending upon the voltage measured.
The ECG is a plot of voltage on the vertical axis against time on the horizontal axis.
ECG leads are vectors. “The term ‘lead’ in electrocardiography refers to the 12 different vectors along which the heart’s depolarization is measured and recorded.” Wikipedia
Heart axis: Play with the axis software on this site.
The right leg electrode is used for grounding where the voltage is zero.
P-QRS-T is a good way to keep tap of the intervals. The PR or PQ interval and the ST interval. The PR=PQ segment. They are often called the PR segment because the Q wave is usually missing.
P waves from the same focus look the same in a given lead ( i.e. when looked at in the same lead). If P waves have different shapes in the same exact lead, they are certainly coming from different foci. The same lead is like one camera positioned at a specific angle, pointing to the heart. The camera doesn’t move and should take the same exact picture if the electrical activity is coming from the same focus. A change in the shape of the p wave means a change in focus. *Also, each focus always acts the same way. It doesn’t change.
In sinus arrhythmia, the rate usually gradually slows and then gradually speeds up. This is due to breathing and the effects of the sympathetic and parasympathetic system. In sinus arrhythmia, there is a normal, extremely minimal increase in HR during inspiration and an extremely minimal decrease in HR during expiration. The slight increase in heart rate is due to inspiration-activated sympathetic stimulation of the SA Node. The slight decrease in HR is due to expiration-activated parasympathetic inhibition of the SA Node. The sympathetic NS stimulate when you suck in air and parasympathetic stimulate when you push out air.
Segments vs. Intervals in an ECG. E.g. The PR segment vs. the PR interval.
A segment in an ECG is the region between two waves. PR segment starts at the end of the P wave and ends at the start of the QRS complex. The ST segment starts at the end of the QRS wave and ends at the start of the T wave. The TP segment is between the end of the T wave and the beginning of the next P wave; It is the true isoelectric segment in the ECG. ** With segments, you talk about morphology: elevation or depression or progression of segments.
An interval in an ECG is a duration of time that includes one segment and one or more waves. The PR (or PQ) interval starts at the start of the P wave and ends at the start of the QRS. It denotes the conduction of the impulse from the upper part of the atrium to the ventricle. The QRS interval covers the QRS complex from beginning to end. [The QRS complex is also covers an interval]. The QT interval starts at the start of the QRS and ends at the end of the T wave. It denotes the electrical systole of the heart. **Intervals are only described based on their duration of time. You speak of it as a duration and so cannot talk about the morphology or depression or elevation of an interval.
Calculating the Heart Rate
There are several methods for determining heart rate.
Method #1: The number of QRS complexes per 6-second strip times 10. Count the number of QRS complexes over a 6-second interval. Multiply by 10 to determine heart rate. This method works well for both regular and irregular rhythms.
Method #2: Count the number of small boxes for a typical R-R interval. Divide 1500 by this number to determine heart rate.
Method #3: Identify an R-wave that is on a line. Use that as the start R-wave and then count success big boxes from the start as 300, 150, 100, 75, 60, 50. Below 50, use the formula given in method #2.
ECG Tips from an Indian Physician
The Eyeball Technique: 10 Rules for rapid ECG Reading.
- Heart Rate: 3 to 5 rule & big box rule
- P wave: Lead II taller than I
- AV Conduction 1: > one large square rule
- AV Conduction 2: Who is related to whom?
- QRS duration: Little Box 3 rule?
- Wide QRS: Find the Traffic Block – Where are the rabbit ears? Right or left?
- QRS Axis: Look at where I and aVF are pointing
- QT interval: 50% rule.
- R & T wave: Who is taller in V1 or V6?
- ST segment: 1mm x 2 rule
1. Heart Rate. Normal heart rate falls within a range of 3 to 5 big boxes. That corresponds to 60 to 100 bpm if you use the formula in method #2 above. Use this 3 to 5 big box rule to know if the heart rate is normal or not. If it’s normal, there is no need to calculate it when working on the ward.
In essence, this is an application of method #3 of determining heart rate.
2. P Wave: Is Lead II taller than lead I? I.e. Is the P wave in lead II taller than p wave in lead I? It should be for it to be normal. Why?
QRS axis: Look at where I and aVF are pointing. If they point in the same direction, then the axis is normal. If the point towards each other, then they are Reaching out to each other which is Right axis deviation. If they point away from each other, then they are Leaving each other, which is Left axis deviation.
Systematic approach of ECG
A systematic approach is vital to ECG interpretation. Always follow the same steps for every ECG you look at. Don’t skip around. Your speed will increase without decreasing your efficiency.
Things to check with EVERY EKG you read!
- Rate and Rhythm.
- Axis and Intervals
- PR Interval. It is increased consistently in first degree AV block; Progressively increases in each series of cycles with Wenkeback; totally variable in 3rd degree AV block; and decreased in WPW and LGL
- P without QRS response. Wenkeback and Mobitz 2nd degree AV blocks; 3rd degree AV block has independent atrial and ventricular rates.
- QRS width (interval). Normal is less than 3 small squares. A diagnosis of Bundle Branch Block is mainly based on widened QRS (3 small squares (0.12 secs) or more.)
- Hypertrophy and Enlargement
- Sum of S in V1 plus R in V5. Mere observation is enough. If more than 7 large boxes (35 mm) is L.V.H.

Boris Diaw staying with San Antonio
• Boris Diaw says he’s staying with the Spurs. The versatile forward tweeted Sunday evening that he is staying in San Antonio “for a few more years.” Diaw did not reveal the specifics of his new contract with the Spurs, but Yahoo Sports first reported it is a three-year deal worth $22 million. Diaw was an invaluable contributor to the Spurs’ championship run last season. He averaged 9.1 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.8 assists last season and gave the Spurs a strong defender as well. The 32-year-old became a free agent this summer and cannot officially sign the new contract until Thursday.
• Diana Taurasi scored a season-high 32 points, including a season-best seven 3-pointers, and the Phoenix Mercury beat the host Los Angeles Sparks 94-89 for their seventh straight victory, tying a franchise record. Penny Taylor hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with 1:18 to play, giving the Mercury a 90-89 lead. They got the ball back on a turnover by Kristi Toliver. Taurasi hit a 3-pointer while being closely guarded with 8 seconds left for a 93-89 lead, ensuring the Mercury’s longest winning streak since August 2006 and the longest in the WNBA this season. Taylor added 17 points and Candice Dupree and Brittney Griner had 15 points each for Phoenix (13-3).
• Tina Charles scored a career-high 32 points to lead New York past Maya Moore and Minnesota. Charles also had 10 rebounds to help New York improve to 7-11. Moore finished with 25 points to lead the Lynx (13-6).
Harness racing hall inducts latest class
• Champion breeder Bill Weaver and driver David Miller were inducted into the Harness Racing Hall of Fame along with broodmare Hattie, 2007 Horse of the Year Donato Hanover and 1991 Horse of the Year Precious Bunny. Carol Cramer and John Pawlak also became members of the Communicators Corner, and the horses Green Speed and Windsongs Legacy were inducted as Immortals of the Hall of Fame.
• Filly Lexie Lou won the $1 million Queen’s Plate at Woodbine, beating Ami’s Holiday by 1½ lengths in the first leg of the Canadian Triple Crown. The Woodbine Oaks winner, ridden by Patrick Husbands, ran 1¼ miles in 2:03.94 on the polytrack to give trainer Mark Casse his first Plate victory. Lexie Lou paid $8.20, $4.50 and $3.30, Ami’s Holiday returned $9.70 and $5.80, and Asserting Bear paid $6 to show in the 15-horse field.
• Wonder Gal romped to a 14½-length victory in the $125,000 Lynbrook Stakes for New York bred 2-year-old fillies at Belmont Park. Bet down to 4-5 for her debut, Wonder Gal was the early trailer in the five-horse field. She launched a bid with a strong inside run on the turn before surging past rivals. Taylor Rice was aboard for trainer Leah Gyarmati as Wonder Gal ran the six furlongs in 1:11.14 on the fast track. She paid $3.60, $2.60 and $2.10.
Walsh Jennings ties women’s win record
• Three-time Olympic champion Kerri Walsh Jennings tied the women’s record for beach volleyball tournament victories in the United States with 69, teaming with April Ross to win the AVP Milwaukee Open.

I think we all have a favorite color that brings us joy and that we are drawn to. It seems like some people prefer brighter colors while others prefer colors more in line with nature.
What is your happy color and why do you like it?
Blue makes me feel safe and relaxed. Blue evokes feelings of calmness and spirituality as well as security and trust.
I like green. I think this is because I love spending time in nature and have done so since I was a child. I was always fascinated with wildlife, plants, etc.
I really like bright orange. I don't know what it is about the color but I have always been drawn to it. I remember growing up and wanting orange everything. I would drive my mother mad!
I enjoy reds and purples. I have always been drawn to bolder more vibrant colors. A friend of mine told me I seek out red because I am lively and like energy and moving. I am drawn to purple because it is a color of peace and healing which counteracts my careless decisions. She could be right! lol
Pinks and blues, ones that are pastel is my sweet spot. I think growing up and seeing fashion trends use these colors inspired me to really be drawn to all things pastel but overall, pink and blue are my favorites!

Scrapping the month-old Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act won’t change the views about the Voice of many people who have seen what appeared to them as a glimpse of the future — and they didn’t like it.
In an attempt to fix deficient protections for Indigenous culture under the old law, the WA Government blindly over-reached to the extent that it was prepared to massively interfere with the property rights of what Premier Roger Cook in his humiliating backdown called “everyday Australian landowners”.

Boy’s foot thought to be amputated after Stoke Newington playground wall collapses
- Credit: Archant
A seven-year-old boy is thought to have had his foot amputated after a playground wall collapsed on him and his sister.
The accident happened on Saturday, May 18, while he and his 10-year-old sister were outside at the play area in Lordship North Estate, in Lordship Road, Stoke Newington.
Housing organisation Hackney Homes, which manages the estate on behalf of Hackney Council, has cordoned off the playground in the meantime and claimed the accident appeared to have happened because the children had tied a rope to the wall.
Neighbour and mother-of-two Fatos Has, 38, who ran out to see what had happened after hearing a loud bang, said: “I heard the wall collapse and ran out to help them. I did not see what happened. I was shocked and scared. The children were crying. I could see they were in a lot of pain.
“I have only seen the family once since then. They came to thank us for helping and talked about the children. The girl’s leg is broken in three places and the boy’s leg is broken in two places and doctors told the family they would have to amputate his foot as blood is not reaching there. All the neighbours are really upset.
You may also want to watch:
“I haven’t slept properly for a few days. My children used to play there but I’m not going to let them anymore. I’m really scared that something might happen to them. I don’t believe the children tied a rope through the holes in the wall.
“Even if they did, it should not have happened. It’s a big wall.”

Mother-of-one Suzan Kalayci, 38, said: “I’m really shocked. The children’s mother is obviously upset. Doctors amputated her son’s foot the following Tuesday – she was crying when she told me.
“It could easily have been my child. She used to skate and would balance against the wall. I could have easily been there as well. Normally when we are at home we have tea with the neighbours and sit at the picnic table beside the wall.”
A Hackney Police spokesman said: “Police were called at 5.44pm after large brick wall had fallen on two children.
“The children suffered multiple fractures. Hackney Homes is investigating the incident.”
Charlotte Graves, chief executive of Hackney Homes, said: “We are working with the police to establish the cause of the incident, but it appears they were swinging from a rope that had been attached to the wall, which could have caused it to collapse.
“This seems to have been a terrible accident and our thoughts are with the children and their families.”

A Sample “Playlist” to Discovering Dominica
From North to South, East to West, Dominica has so much to explore. At The Champs, taking the traditional bucket list up a notch, presenting a playlist guide to the best of Dominica, with options from easy to extreme.
- Drift down a “River of Dreams”
A river for every day of the year, so why not take a ride. For the easy-going traveler, an Indian River boat ride is the most relaxing choice and it’s only five minutes away flowing through the town of Portsmouth. For the more adventurous, let’s go tubing down the Layou or Pagua Rivers.
- Take a “Misty Mountain” hop (hike)
A must-do on the Caribbean’s most mountainous island is a hike. The Champs is close to Dominica’s tallest peak, Morne Diablotins. The 4 to 6-hour return trek isn’tfor the faint at heart but if that’s your speed we will arrange with certified guides.
- Go chasing “Waterfalls”
Across the length and breadth of Dominica are multiple waterfalls for a very Nature Island experience. Three of our easy favorite choices are Milton (Syndicate) Falls, Chaudière Pool, and Emerald Pool.

Syndicate Nature Trail within the Morne Diablotins National Park is by far one of the best places to go birdwatching and see Dominica’s indigenous parrots and many of the over 190 species of birds on the island.
- Go “Into the Deep”
We embrace all the water that comes with being at the center of the Caribbean. At the Champs, we organize the best dive excursions with our local dive shops, dive training and certification is also available. If you don’t want to dive, let’s go whale and dolphin watching. Dominica is the whale watching, capital of the Caribbean.

Yes, Dominica has beaches, actually, Portsmouth and surroundings have some of the island’s best beaches. Let our team put together a beach picnic and drive you to Coconut Beach, Picard Beach, Purple Turtle Beach, or Toucarie Beach. All are within 5 to 15 minutes of The Champs.

Exploring Dominica by horse sounds like fun. Take a guided horseback tour along historic forest trails in the Cabrits National Park and end your ride on the beach into the water.

Dominica is home to the world’s second-largest Boiling Lake. The six-hour guided hike through Valley of Desolation takes you along unique terrains to a world wonder that will take your breath away.

Paul Krugman’s latest column discusses the alarmingly large ranks of the long-term unemployed:
Five years after the crisis, unemployment remains elevated, with almost 12 million Americans out of work. But what’s really striking is the huge number of long-term unemployed, with 4.6 million unemployed more than six months and more than three million who have been jobless for a year or more. Oh, and these numbers don’t count those who have given up looking for work because there are no jobs to be found.
Don’t count on the numbers falling rapidly, even if the economy gains momentum, because the long-term unemployed are getting blackballed by employers:
One piece of evidence comes from the relationship between job openings and unemployment. Normally these two numbers move inversely: the more job openings, the fewer Americans out of work. And this traditional relationship remains true if we look at short-term unemployment. But as William Dickens and Rand Ghayad of Northeastern University recently showed, the relationship has broken down for the long-term unemployed: a rising number of job openings doesn’t seem to do much to reduce their numbers. It’s as if employers don’t even bother looking at anyone who has been out of work for a long time.
To test this hypothesis, Mr. Ghayad then did an experiment, sending out resumes describing the qualifications and employment history of 4,800 fictitious workers. Who got called back? The answer was that workers who reported having been unemployed for six months or more got very few callbacks, even when all their other qualifications were better than those of workers who did attract employer interest.
So we are indeed creating a permanent class of jobless Americans.
Being an economist, Krugman mostly addresses this as an economic phenomenon (the long-term unemployed don’t have much purchasing power), but acknowledges this trend is also “ruining many lives.” It’s another reminder that a sort of “punish the victims” mentality has sunk deep roots in the national psychology in the wake of the Great Recession. It was bad enough when millions of people with underground mortgages were being widely blamed for lacking foresight about their own economic calamities and allegedly expecting “bail-outs” from the consequences of their irresponsible behavior. Now we are talking about millions more (some of them, of course, possibly the same people) who may well descend into the underclass for the rest of their lives because they haven’t held a job lately.
At some point, if this status produces anti-social behavior, I’m sure a lot of comfortably situated people will share some additional self-righeousness with these folk, and find it in their hearts to support even more public expenditures for incarcerating them than anyone proposed for helping them get back into the mainstream economy. But I guess this way of looking at it just confirms I’m one of those ninny-faced liberals who identifies with perpetrators rather than victims.
