Dublin rockers Girl Band have returned with their blistering new cut "Going Norway", the second single to be lifted from their forthcoming album The Talkies.
"Going Norway" follows on from June's lead single "Shoulderblades".
Speaking about the new offering, vocalist Dara Kiely explains, ""Going Norway" was actually one of the first tracks we finished but the melody actually comes from a track that I wrote about eight years ago. I saved that melody and brought it up when I didn’t have any ideas left, I was also doing a lot of mindfulness meditation around the time of it, so lyrically I decided not to use any pronouns within "Going Norway" and the whole album - that came about when I came across this quote from the Buddha which was ’Nothing is to be clung to as I, me or mine’ - and I removed all that in a way to kind of find an abstract world to live in."
Girl Band's second LP The Talkies will arrive four years after their debut record Holding Hands With Jamie. It was recorded in November 2018 at Ballintubbert House outside of Dublin, and is produced by the band's bassist Daniel Fox.
Speaking about the record, guitarist Alan Duggan says, "In many ways the idea behind the album was to make an audio representation of the house."

Tropical system could hit Florida
A tropical disturbance moving across the eastern edge of the Caribbean Sea could strengthen over the next few days and take aim on Florida.
The storm system could strengthen into a tropical depression at any time as it heads west-northwest over the northern Leeward Islands and near or over Puerto Rico, Hispaniola and the Bahamas, according to the National Hurricane Center in Miami.
After that, however, it’s anyone’s guess where the storm might go, when it will get there and how strong it could get.
Once it moves through the Bahamas area, there’s a high degree of uncertainty as far as the track and intensity,” said Andy Lahr, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Tallahassee. “At this point, I’d just advise people to be aware of it.”
Lahr said computer models show it strengthening from anything to a tropical depression to a low level hurricane. The Hurricane Center’s five-day forecast shows a potential landfall in South Florida by Monday morning.
The Weather Service said a tropical cyclone of unknown intensity could remain in the western Atlantic, move through the southern Gulf or go anywhere in between through the middle of next week.
“Folks along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts should pay close attention to the forecasts over the next several days and take some time to be sure your disaster supply kits are up to date,” the Weather Service said in its forecast discussion.

New America’s Education Policy Program seeks applicants who have a strong interest in education policy for a paid Spring 2019 internship. The intern will primarily assist the program’s PreK-12 team with research, data, and policy analysis for issue briefs and policy reports. Interns must be self-starters who are excited to work both independently and as part of a team on a variety of education-related research projects. New America’s PreK-12 team explores key issues in education using a research-based and solutions-oriented approach grounded in principles of equity, efficiency, quality, and transparency. From educator quality, to school finance, to college- and career-ready standards and assessments, our team researches and analyzes existing federal, state, and local policies, investigates and highlights where promising practices already exist, and proposes innovative new approaches for the field.
In addition to conducting research and analysis in the area of PreK-12 education policy, interns will have the opportunity to publish their own blog posts and other work, attend events on behalf of New America, and gain exposure to some of the brightest and most ambitious thinkers in the field. They will also have the opportunity to attend in-house events, professional development, and off-the-record policy lunches with fellows and staff from other New America policy programs.

Directors UK members Emma Edwards and Luke Bradford have both taken part in our directing challenges supported by ARRI.
They recently bumped into each other at the launch of the 2019 Portobello Film Festival, and discovered that the films they made — Altruistic (ARRI Doc Challenge 2018) and ONE (Challenge TRINITY 2018) — would both be screening at the Festival’s opening gala on Thursday 29 August.
With the next Challenge TRINITY deadline around the corner, they decided to reflect on what has happened with their projects over the last year — and recommend that other members give it a go too. You can read their discussion in full below.
What were you hoping for when you applied for the challenge?
Luke Bradford: When I applied for Challenge TRINITY I was excited at the prospect of working with ARRI and their stabilisation technology. I had thought of the concept for my short film ONE some time ago but it needed a technical solution like the TRINITY to bring it to life.
Emma Edwards: I was determined to make my film Altruistic without taking on too much financial burden, and the Doc Challenge supported filmmakers in doing this with access to kit and production insurance. The scheme allowed total editorial freedom, which was a bonus! I could make the film truly my own, and use it as a teaser for the larger project and hopefully open some doors to producers and commissioners.
What direction did you choose to take with your film after post was completed — and where is it at now?
LB: ONE is based on a well-known saying in addiction recovery groups that ‘one is too many but a thousand is never enough’. With this addiction-related theme I made the film available online and posted it to various recovery groups. The film had over 16,000 views in a matter of weeks with an overwhelmingly positive response from audiences. People in recovery circles seemed to resonate with the film’s theme, which ultimately conveys a positive message. A selection of festivals have accepted ONE and I’m looking forward to seeing it at Encounters Film Festival and the opening night of Portobello Film Festival 2019.
EE: The contributors’ story reflected in Altruistic had never been told on screen before, despite a decade of requests from production companies. The family chose to put their story in my hands, so I was determined for the project to have positive impact. I set about building a grassroots network of support. The film has been receiving international community, art and film festival screenings, engaging audiences further with panel sessions on “the queer family”.
The film is also screening to schools and workplaces through a charity that does inclusivity work. 45% of LGBTQ pupils still experience bullying behaviour from others at school…if the film goes some way to crushing this statistic then that would be the best achievement.
What have you found most valuable about taking part in the challenge?
LB: The response to ONE from people in recovery circles has been extremely rewarding. One particular reviewer noted that she intended to watch it every morning to help keep her sober which — as a director wanting to produce films that inspire people — was amongst the most meaningful feedback I’ve received.
EE: I know that Altruistic has directly opened up further career opportunities for me, so I can’t praise such schemes enough. For our own projects to gain support from industry and colleagues, and for those projects to go on to engage with — and win — the hearts of audiences…that sense of achievement is invaluable when it comes to driving yourself and your future projects forward.
What has been the biggest highlight for you and the project over the last year?
LB: The biggest highlight was being a part of the ARRI panel at BSC Expo where we showed clips of our films and discussed the process to a packed audience of filmmakers. That was a tremendous honour and a real joy to be a part of.
EE: Screening to a sell-out audience at London’s Barbican, and securing my first TV broadcast as a director! (Altruistic screens on London Live later this year as part of a season of films curated by the Portobello Film Festival).
Why would you recommend directing competitions with Directors UK and ARRI to members?
LB: For me personally, since the start of 2018 I have been in a transitional period from the corporate and commercial world to directing drama which — as many people know — is spectacularly challenging. Opportunities like Challenge TRINITY run by Directors UK are really important to help new directors show what they can do, given the right tools and support. This, along with another self-funded short film RISK, led to being invited to direct 35 scenes across 5 episodes of Marcella series 3 for ITV and Netflix. I directed the second unit with principal cast on location in Belfast, which represented a significant break for me.
EE: Ditto! Such schemes are vital to help nurture and showcase directing talent. A lot of the directors the challenges supported last year were brave and bold with their onscreen story telling. It’s really important to have this kind of opportunity as a filmmaker. The encouraging support form DirectorsUK and ARRI builds not just your own confidence, but also confidence from the industry in working with us on future projects.
Any tips you could give other members thinking of entering future challenges?
LB: For those entering Challenge TRINITY — the shoot will likely fall during the winter months, which obviously limits daylight hours, so if you are shooting outside, try to factor this in. My concept was extremely challenging and it took 21 takes to achieve. Towards the end the sun going down rapidly threw new issues at us with every take! Do your homework on the dynamic shots the technology can offer and convey in your application how this will enhance the storytelling. Don’t make the one shot too long; it will destroy your TRINITY operator if you need lots of takes. The technology is amazing but the operators are still human — although I did suspect my operator of being superhuman after 21 takes!
EE: The prep period for the challenge flew by; it helped to have the project at a well-developed stage. Be ready to set the ball rolling with talent, contributors, locations and crew.
With the TRINITY challenge deadline looming again…check out the kit in advance if you can, so you know what it can enable. Some directors find the kit and technology side intimidating…don’t let that put you off applying! The ARRI team are fab in supporting you.

The T-72M1R, is Polish-made modernization of the T-72M1 main battle tank, the export version of the T-72A. The design of the tank is similar to the original Soviet-made T-72A tank with the driver position at the front of the hull, a turret with the commander and gunner in the center, and the power pack at the rear. The turret has conventional cast armor with a maximum thickness of 280 mm, the nose is about 80 mm thick and the glacis is of a new laminate armor 200 mm thick, which when inclined gives between 500 and 600 mm of protection. The T-72A had a significant increase in armor protection, especially over the frontal arc of the turret.
The main armament of the T-72M1R consists of one 125mm 2A46 gun which can fire armor-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot (APFSDS), high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT), and high-explosive fragmentation (HEF) projectiles. The ammunition for the 2A46 gun is in two pieces including the projectile is loaded first, followed by a separate propellant charge. It can also fire the anti-tank guided missile 9M119M Reflex with a maximum firing range of 5,000 m.
The second armament includes one 7.62 mm PKT machine gun mounted coaxially to the right of the main armament and has 250 rounds of ready-use ammunition and one 12.7 mm NSV machine gun mounted on the commander's cupola. Two banks of smoke grenade discharger Type 902B 81 mm are mounted to each side at the front of the turret, with seven to the left and five to the right side.
The 72M1R features a new fire control system, thermal imaging sight for the gunner, and communication system as well as GPS DAGR (Defense Advanced GPS Receiver), and several other enhancements. The rear part of the turret is also fitted with a new basket.
The T-72M1R is powered by a V-46 Diesel engine developing 780 hp that giving a power-to-weight ratio of 18.1 hp/tone. It can run at a maximum road speed of 60 km/h with a maximum cruising range of 480 km. The torsion bar suspension on each side consists of six road wheels with the idler at the front, a drive sprocket at the rear, and three return rollers supporting the inside of the track only. Shock-absorbers are fitted at the first, second, and sixth roadwheel stations.

They are dancing. It's a young man dancing with his mother. Richard said his name is "Porky". Ann said, "He is being silly". His name is Jose and he is dancing with his grandmother. He calls her Me-Maw, Grams and Na-Na.
It is a fun day. There's an orchestra and they are playing swing and jazz. He is giving Grandma a workout. They are at a family picnic. They have this picnic once a year.
They are serving ham and cheese sandwiches. They are serving beer and Coca-Cola. It's a family picnic and they are celebrating her birthday. She is 70 years old, but Ella Mae and Shirley think she is older. She must be 80 plus or 80 or 89. Her name is Ella Mae Smith.
There are barriers in the back. There may be police officers or firemen in the background. They don't look like they are working very hard. The man with his leg on the chair looks casual.
The kids look bored or amazed because the old people are dancing. They just got started and grandma is telling him how to dance. She said "You got to get moving here!". Lois said they are starting to get tired.
They are going to sit down and eat their lunch. They are going to take a rest at home. They are going home to Loomis. The kids are amazed that the old folks can dance!

Things have not been easy in recent months for many in this crazy world, we hope all of you are safe and well. Of course it has been a bit of juggle to combine acting as amateur teachers with the children at home, while at the same time trying to keep pushing Agenda forward. Perhaps therefore we’re especially proud of today’s version 10 update, a big step forward, worthy the next power of 10.
Agenda version 10 introduces a powerful sharing extension that allows you to share content from other apps like Safari, Photos, Mail, and countless other system and 3rd party apps, directly to your Agenda notes. But even better, it allows you to not just share the content, but while you’re at it, edit your notes directly from within those apps too! Add some thoughts, tick off some list items, and reorganise your note without leaving the app you were working in, it’s all possible now.
The sharing sheet on macOS allows arbitrary edits to any note, and insertion of shared content at any location.
The new template feature allows those have purchased the premium features pack to create new notes with pre-filled content. Templates are great for forms, meeting notes, and anything else which begins with some standard text.
Templates can be created using the new Template Manager, but it is also possible to save an existing note as a template. Once created, the template can be used to populate new notes with initial content.
Click and hold the plus button to make a new note from a template (premium feature), great for those notes that have a standard format, like meeting minutes and forms.
Finally, for a number of Agenda community members today’s the day they’ve been working towards so hard! The version 10 update now comes in Spanish, German, French, and both Traditional and Simplified Chinese. We couldn’t be more excited as we know how many have been asking for these!
We are enormously grateful to those who helped us, THANK YOU! They have had to put in an enormous amount of work, and they did so with unbelievable care and speed. They had to be patient as we had to learn things along the way too, testing the water using some new and (very) early Apple technologies, moving to a new translation platform they had to guinea pig for us, and dealing with the opinions of both us and fellow translators they knew from nowhere.
And what a result, the new languages look great, they can be very proud, and we’re convinced many people will enjoy Agenda even more, every day.
What might perhaps not be obvious from all the above is that this update was very important for another reason. The sharing sheet especially required significant changes under the hood to be able to run so-called extensions in the first place. Now that this is in place it means we can move much faster when it comes to other features that are implemented as an extension. Shortcuts and Siri support, Spotlight indexing, a Today extension, come to mind for example.
Equally important were all the changes necessary to add support for the 5 new languages we added today. It’s now much easier to add more languages, and in fact many are already on the way. If you would like to help, join the effort!
Of course these are the headlines, but as always, there’s lots of small fixes and improvements to enjoy, for example Dropbox sync is now dramatically faster, and be sure to check out the checklist edit menu on mac.
There’s a lot to explore in this update, enjoy!!
Tip: be sure to check out today’s Nested Folders Podcast as well, in which Rosemary talks about the new features in Agenda v10.


There are a variety of reasons why the coolant can boil. But often the problem can be eliminated on their own. As practice shows, in most cases the driver is guilty. After all, the cooling system must be serviced regularly. Let's take a closer look at why the antifreeze boils in the surge tank, and how to fix the problem.
Engine Cooling System
The first thing I would like to understand in more detail is how the engine is cooled. The system as a whole is not complex, but there are some nuances in its work. It must be understood that as soon as you start the engine of the car, it intensively heats up. It has special channels through which the coolant circulates under pressure and withdraws some of the heat. The main elements of the cooling system: radiators, a pump, a thermostat, a cap of the expansion tank (air valve), branch pipes, etc.
The boiling point of antifreeze is greater than water. That's why it is used in modern cars. If we recall the course of physics, then we can conclude that increasing the pressure leads to an increase in the boiling point. Accordingly, the higher the pressure, the higher the temperature of the coolant will boil. But heavy operating modes (for example, standing in traffic jams) inevitably lead to a constant increase in pressure in the system. When it reaches a certain value, an air valve opens, thereby releasing excess steam into the atmosphere.
About regular maintenance
As it was noted at the very beginning of this article, the cooling system must be periodically checked for leaks, the condition of the antifreeze, the efficiency of the pump and the thermostat. If this is not done, then there is a possibility of serious engine breakdown and overheating. Capital repairs - the event is not cheap, so you should not bring this up.
Another important point is the service life of the antifreeze. In many respects it depends on its type. For example, G11 is desirable to change every few years, and G12 + easily withstands about 5 years. In this case, there are recommendations of the manufacturer to the type of coolant and the regularity of its replacement. Therefore, if you notice that the antifreeze boils periodically in the surge tank, this does not mean any mechanical malfunction. It is possible that he simply lost some of his performance characteristics, which is why the boiling point dropped. Well, now we will pass directly to the main problems and methods of their elimination.
Insufficient level of antifreeze in the expansion tank
When there is not enough cooling liquid in the system, the boiling point drops. In most cases, the problem is solved by a normal refill. It is advisable to perform it on a cold one. This is due to the fact that at high temperatures the liquid expands. Therefore, if you pour into the expansion tank to the "minimum" mark, when the cooling system tosola becomes significantly less.
Actually, there is nothing complicated in the refill. Find the expansion tank and unscrew the plug. It can be as ordinary plastic, which does not perform almost any function, and is hermetically sealed. After we have unscrewed it, fill in the necessary amount of antifreeze. It is desirable that the level of antifreeze in the surge tank is between the "maximum" and "minimum" marks. As for the reasons for which the level fell, there are only a few. It is likely that when servicing the system, the antifreeze was not sufficient. The second option is a leak.
Malfunction of thermostat
If you notice that squeezes out the antifreeze from the expansion tank, then this can indicate the wedging of the thermostat. The fact is that it works as a valve and has two positions: closed and open. In the closed position, the system circulates through a small circle. On a large circle, the liquid passes through the radiator, which contributes to its accelerated cooling. If the car engine is cold, the thermostat valve is closed, which contributes to the accelerated warm-up of the power unit. When the engine is hot, the thermostat opens and the coolant circulates through the radiators, where it is cooled by a stream of counter-air or by diffusers.
What do we get if the thermostat sticks? There are two options: the antifreeze is constantly boiling in the expansion tank for hot water. This is due to improper circulation of the coolant. At the same time, the antifreeze is squeezed out of the expansion tank, as it is constantly expanding. This indicates that the valve has jammed in the closed position. The second option - the car will be very long warm up. With any problems with the thermostat, it must be replaced, it is not too expensive to save on such a critical part.
Radiator cooling and its malfunctions
The designers at the stage of creating the car laid down certain data on the rate of movement of antifreeze in the system. Over time, the internal space of the radiator is clogged with salts and sediment. This can not be avoided, although the problem is simply simply eliminated on its own. It is enough to wash the system with special means when replacing the coolant, which will partially or completely remove the sediment formed during operation. As a result, the coolant will circulate faster and more efficiently to cool.
At the same time, do not forget about the radiator from the outside. Since it is mounted behind the front bumper and is cooled by the flow of oncoming air, it gets dirty outward fairly quickly. Honeycombs are clogged and heat transfer is disturbed. Air does not pass through the radiator, which leads to the boiling of antifreeze in the expansion tank. Cells are cleaned with special cleaning solutions at low pressure. It is advisable not to use the car wash, because you can bend the honeycomb.
Air Valve Malfunction
As we have already figured out, the cork of the expansion tank is quite an important element, although many motorists do not change it for the entire life of the car. But then someone will be lucky, because the valve can work properly for a long time, and may fail for a year of operation or even less.
Check the plug for operation is quite simple. To do this, it is necessary to start the car engine and fully warm it. When excessive pressure builds up in the system, the valve should work and excess pressure will be thrown off. You can understand this by the characteristic sound. In addition, failure of the valve will result in extrusion of the antifreeze into the expansion tank. Repair the lid is not subject to, so it must be replaced.
An antifreeze temperature sensor is required not only to monitor the status of the system on the dashboard. He performs another, no less important function. The sensor sends data to the onboard computer and when a certain temperature is reached, it gives a signal to start the cooling fans. If when driving at high speed the diffusers are practically not needed, then in traffic jams they are just necessary.
If something does not work properly, the fans do not start, and the sensor itself is often working normally. The problem may be the breakage of the electrical circuit or the failure of the fuse. You can call the wiring either independently or by an electrician at the service station. After that, the problem should disappear. But first of all it is desirable to check the fuse. For this, it is sufficient to install a new one. The relay is the least likely to fail. On some models of cars it can not be bought in a regular car dealer. In this case, as a temporary solution, you can install a jumper. But you need to understand that the fan will work constantly.
Breach in the system
Leakage of antifreeze is the most common problem. Over time, the nipples dry up, and microcracks appear on them. Also, the fastening points to the radiators and the expansion tank are weakened. As a result, a small leak appears first, which only increases with time. If the problem is not eliminated, then eventually the nozzle can tear. All the antifreeze will pour out, and the engine will overheat if not noticed in time.
To avoid this, it is recommended to periodically change the rubber nipples, inspect the condition of the fasteners, etc. Also, a leak may occur as a result of a malfunction of the air valve. When there was too much pressure in the system, there was a weak point, through which the coolant flows. In this case it is not clear how much antifreeze is poured, because its level will constantly change. It is desirable as soon as possible to eliminate leakage.
The so-called pump is responsible for pumping the coolant through the system. Typically, the water pump is included in the gas distribution kit and varies according to the regulations. Therefore, it is desirable to install a new pump every 70-100 thousand kilometers, in order to avoid problems.
But it happens that there is not enough money for the original pump. In this case, drivers buy an alternative, most often a Chinese substitute, and then wonder why the antifreeze boils. After a while, the pump gives a leak, which can lead to the destruction of its impeller and the entry of plastic elements into the powertrain system. Replacing a faulty pump is not cheap, but it needs to be done as soon as possible. It is not recommended to move independently on the car in this case. Cheaper to pay for the tow truck.
A few tips for motorists
So we figured out the main reasons for boiling and squeezing out the antifreeze. As you can see, there are a lot of them. Often, to identify and fix the problem is simple enough. But nevertheless it is necessary to observe a number of simple rules, helping always to support system of cooling of the motor in a normal condition:
- Regular replacement of antifreeze;
- Checking the operability of the thermostat and air valve;
- Cleaning the radiator from the outside and inside when replacing the antifreeze;
- Inspection of nozzles for defects in the form of cracks;
- Replacement of the pump together with the timing kit.
Actually, nothing complicated, no less than add the antifreeze to the system. But at the same time, non-compliance with the manufacturer's recommendations may lead to more serious problems.
Let's sum up the results
When the car engine overheats, the power unit may not fail. It all depends on the length of the ride at elevated temperature and the design features of the engine. For example, an engine with an aluminum block is afraid of overheating more than others. Therefore, such a motor most often sticks when reaching a critical temperature.
Many motorists know how to add antifreeze, but it does not save problems. After all, you can skip the level sooner or later. As practice shows, serious breakdowns happen at the most inopportune moment. Break the branch pipe can be on the road far from home, and even the expansion tank cap does not give any guarantee. What to do in this case? The main thing is not to panic. If the engine has not been overheated, serious consequences have already been avoided.
To avoid such trouble, it is necessary to follow the recommendations of the manufacturer. It is advisable to buy only original spare parts, because in 90% of cases they are the best. So you know why the antifreeze is boiling in the expansion tank, and what to do in case of such a problem.

Olivier Cablat - ENSP 2003
The Egypt 3000 project deals with the complex relationship between contemporary Egypt and its glorious past. The project started to take shape between October 2003 and June 2004, when I was working on a CNRS programme in Karnak, in the south of Egypt. The programme mainly consisted in identifying and photographing objects found in the course of archaeological digs. It also involved taking reportage shots of the various excavation and restoration activities going on around the Temple of Amun, as well as making complex digital montages to reconstitute the walls of the temple to serve as a study tool for the Egyptologists.
In parallel with this work, I was collecting a lot of images of everyday Egyptian objects, and these allowed me to continue with some artistic research that I had been working on earlier in the South of France.
My initial intention in the Egypt 3000 project was to base things on raw material from everyday life in contemporary Egypt, making no hierarchical judgements about its nature, and to apply the same treatment to it as scientific research does for ancient artefacts.
The project came together over a number of years, during and after my trips. These were years of construction, re-composition, and a search for a documentary form free of the systematic quality of a series and without the condescending aspect of typical “travel photography”.
The project ended up as three distinct sets: Towards a Contemporary Archaeology, Karnak/Luxor, 2004-2009 – these are reproductions of the objects found in Karnak and Luxor and they are given the same scientific treatment as ancient objects; secondly, 300 days and a day, 2003-2011, which is a documentary series relating 300 days of documentary research and containing a blend of typological series and complex digital photo-montages with post-Orientalist references; and thirdly, Enter the pyramid, 2006-2012, a digital documentary installation composed in HTML with a set of images found on the Internet using the keyword “pyramid”.
Born in 1978 in Marignane. Lives and works in Arles. A many-faceted maker of photographs, Olivier Cablat is as much attracted to commercial zones built along the lines of Las Vegas as to all the waste matter that issues more or less directly from them: cheap discs, statuettes, portraits of Colonel Gaddafi, etc. Using a documentary style, the better perhaps to emphasise the ambiguous nature of the relationship between photography and reality, he seems to be constructing a monumental oeuvre that endlessly questions the descriptive character of the images – a body of work that might be intended for ethnologists of the future, but for whom he complicates the task by constantly re-writing the interpretive rules. After graduation from the ESBAM, Marseille, in 2000 he gained a post-graduate diploma at the ENSP, Arles, in 2003. He then worked as a documentary photographer for the CNRS in Egypt. Since 2004, he has been a regular tutor in digital image-making at the ENSP, Arles. He was the founder of the gallery and publishing house 2600, and is an active participant in the development of self-publishing and self-production systems for artists of the digital generation.


LANSING (WWJ) - Michigan's governor says the number of coronavirus cases statewide will only stop growing if residents do their part and follow her "Stay at Home" executive order.
Speaking live on WWJ Newsradio Tuesday morning, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer says public health scientists are clear: A 14-day freeze on movement will stop the spread of coronavirus.
"We really need everyone to stay home. Stop moving around, stop meeting with people. Do your part so that we can get through this," Whitmer said. "This is not the time to panic. This is the time to be serious. This is the time to be smart. This is the time to go out rarely to get the things that you absolutely need and then you go back home and you stay home."
Whitmer issued a "Stay Home, Stay Safe" executive order on Monday directing most businesses in the state to temporarily suspend in-person operations. It's not just about preventing the spread of the virus, but providing relief on the health care system which is already struggling. Hospitals are running low on supplies and Whitmer says the state has been buying from private sources and businesses overseas to fill the need.
"We've worked with distilleries that have produced hand sanitizer, we are working with Michigan companies to produce masks and gowns, we are buying masks from around the world to meet the needs of our health care providers," she said. "We made a deal for 4 million masks to get this week, the N95 masks, that's really important. But let's be clear, it's not nearly enough yet."
While the state continues to do its part, Whitmer says it's really up to the residents to get this virus under control.
"The more people that can stay put, the better for our ability to meet needs in our hospitals that are seeing their capacity stretched to the limit already, the more we can do in terms of protecting other people, and the quicker we will come out of this crisis," she said. "It's on everyone to play their role."
And part of that role, Whitmer says, is being a conscientious consumer. Don't stockpile goods, she said, and only buy what you need.
"You don't need to rush out and buy up as much as you can find. It will be there. We need to make sure everyone has the ability to access what they need," she said.
As on Monday afternoon, Michigan's official total of confirmed coronavirus cases jumped to 1,328, including 18 deaths. The next update is at 2 p.m. Tuesday.

Miguel de Cervantes, aging and an utter failure in his varied careers as playwright, poet and tax collector, sits in a Seville dungeon with his manservant, awaiting trial by the Spanish Inquisition for an offense against the Church. The other prisoners set up a mock trial: if Cervantes is found guilty, he will hand over all his possessions. Cervantes agrees to do so, and offers his defense in the form of a play. Producing a makeup kit, he transforms himself into an old man who calls himself Don Quixote de La Mancha.
Quixote and his “squire,” Sancho Panza, set out to find adventures in a campaign to restore the age of chivalry, to battle evil, and to right all wrongs (“I, Don Quixote”). In their first encounter, Don Quixote spots a windmill and mistakes it for a four-armed giant. Losing the battle, Don Quixote blames the mysterious workings of his enemy, The Dark Enchanter, and decides he must properly be dubbed a knight.
At a roadside inn, which Quixote insists is a castle, several rough muleteers harass Aldonza, the inn’s serving girl and part-time prostitute. Fending them off sarcastically (“It’s All The Same”), she eventually deigns to accept their leader, Pedro, who pays in advance. Quixote sees Aldonza, and believes her to be the Lady Dulcinea, to whom he has sworn eternal loyalty (“Dulcinea”). Aldonza, accustomed to cruelty, is confused and angered by Quixote’s refusal to see her as she really is.
Meanwhile, Don Quixote’s niece, Antonia, seeks advice from the local priest, who realises Antonia and her housekeeper are more concerned with appearances than with the old man’s welfare (“I’m Only Thinking of Him”). Antonia’s fiancé, the cynical and self-centered Dr. Carrasco, sets out to end the embarrassment by bringing Don Quixote back home (“I’m Only Thinking of Him” Reprise).
Back at the inn, Sancho courts Aldonza on Don Quixote’s behalf, but she spurns Quixote’s advances. Aldonza asks Sancho why he follows Quixote, and he explains, “I Really Like Him.” Alone, Aldonza ponders the old man’s behavior (“What Do You Want of Me?”). In the courtyard, the muleteers once again taunt her with a suggestive song (“Little Bird, Little Bird”) and Pedro makes arrangements with Aldonza for an assignation later.
The priest and Dr. Carrasco arrive, but cannot reason with Don Quixote. A barber enters, wearing his shaving basin on his head to ward off the sun’s heat (“The Barber’s Song”). Quixote immediately snatches the basin from the barber, believing it to be the miraculous “Golden Helmet of Mambrino,” which will make him invulnerable. The priest, impressed, wonders whether the old man really needs curing (“To Each His Dulcinea”).
Quixote asks the Innkeeper to dub him knight. The innkeeper agrees, only if Quixote stands vigil over his armour all night. Aldonza, on her way to meet Pedro, encounters Quixote in the courtyard and questions him on his seemingly irrational ways. Quixote responds with his credo (“The Impossible Dream”).
Pedro enters, furious at being kept waiting, and slaps Aldonza. Enraged, Don Quixote fights Pedro and the other muleteers (“The Combat”). With luck and determination – and the help of Aldonza and Sancho – Quixote prevails, knocking the muleteers unconscious. The noise awakens the Innkeeper, who kindly tells Quixote he must leave. Quixote apologises but reminds the Innkeeper of his promise to dub him knight. The Innkeeper does so (“Knight of the Woeful Countenance”).
Quixote announces he must help the muleteers; the laws of chivalry demand that he nurse a fallen enemy. Aldonza, whom Quixote still calls Dulcinea, is shocked, but she agrees to help them. For her efforts, she is beaten and raped by the muleteers, (“The Abduction”). In his room, Quixote celebrates his new title and recent victory, completely unaware of Aldonza’s suffering (“The Impossible Dream” Reprise).
Quixote and Sancho return to their travels (“I, Don Quixote” Reprise). They encounter a band of gypsies (“Moorish Dance”) who steal Quixote’s horse and Sancho’s donkey. The two men are forced to return to the inn, where the Innkeeper begrudgingly accepts them. Aldonza appears, severely bruised. Quixote swears to avenge her, but she angrily rejects him, begging him to leave her alone and bitterly flinging her pitiful history in his face (“Aldonza”).
Don Quixote’s mortal enemy, the Enchanter, appears in the form of the “Knight of the Mirrors.” He attacks and taunts Quixote, forcing him to see himself objectively, as a fool and a madman. Don Quixote collapses, weeping. The Knight of the Mirrors removes his own helmet – he is really Dr. Carrasco, returned with his latest plan to cure Quixote.
Cervantes announces that the story is finished, at least as far as he has written it, but the prisoners are dissatisfied with the ending. They prepare to burn his manuscript when he asks for the chance to present one last scene.
At home again, the old man who once called himself Don Quixote is dying. Antonia, Carrasco, Sancho, the housekeeper, and the priest all wait by his bedside. Sancho tries to cheer him up (“A Little Gossip”). The old man claims that he is now sane, remembering his knightly career only as a vague dream. Acknowledging that he is now dying, he asks the priest to help him make out his will. As he begins to dictate, Aldonza forces her way in. She has come to visit Quixote because she can no longer bear to be anyone but Dulcinea. When he does not recognise her, she sings to him (“Dulcinea” Reprise) and reminds him of his noble quest (“The Impossible Dream” Reprise). Suddenly, he remembers everything and rises from his bed, calling for his armor and sword so that he may set out again. (“I, Don Quixote” 2nd Reprise) But it is too late; in mid-song, he cries out and falls dead. The priest blesses the body (“The Psalm”). But Aldonza believes Don Quixote will live on: “A man died. He seemed a good man, but I did not know him… Don Quixote is not dead. Believe, Sancho… believe.” When Sancho calls her by name, she replies, “My name is Dulcinea.”
The Inquisition enters to take Cervantes to his trial, and the prisoners, finding him not guilty, return his manuscript, his unfinished novel, Don Quixote de la Mancha. As Cervantes and his servant mount the staircase to go to their impending trial, the prisoners, led by the woman who played Dulcinea, sing “The Impossible Dream.”

THE BEST Guitar
Guitarist Luca Stricagnoli wows us with another amazing cover, U2’s 1987 hit, With or Without You. Thanks to the amazing three-neck guitar by luthier Davide Serracini, and an EBow vibrating one of the strings, he’s able to produce the song’s many layers in a solo performance.
Musician Jon Gomm presents an acoustic guitar cover of Radiohead’s 1995 track High and Dry that will pull you in and won’t let go. If you liked what you heard, be sure to check out Passionflower, which put him on the map for his ability to retune his guitar while performing.
Musician John Tracey presents a medley of some theme songs from classic kids TV shows from the 1980s and 1990s, performed with a smooth fingerstyle vibe on his acoustic guitar. We can still never get enough of those DuckTales and Inspector Gadget themes.
Guitarist Luca Stricagnoli presents another fantastic fingerstyle cover arrangement – taking on the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ 2002 hit Can’t Stop on his triple-necked acoustic guitbass. The endlessly spinning camera made us a little queasy, but the music is worth a little dizziness.
During most of his concerts, musician Rob Scallon performs Rain, a tune that relies heavily on a delay effect pedal. But he recently decided to see if he could replicate the sound through a combination of room acoustics and enlisting the help of two other guitar players.
Guitarist Luca Stricagnoli impresses yet again with a fantastic fingerstyle trio of tracks by the godfathers of rave music The Prodigy: Invaders Must Die, Omen, and Voodoo People, performed while he wanders through seemingly endless stacks of freight containers.
Musician Alan Gogoll used a custom built camera and guitar rig to capture the vibrations of the strings on his acoustic guitar, then played a series of chill tracks with beautiful scenery in the background. The most soothing thing you’ll watch today. Listen on Spotify here.
13 year-old Owen Davey is a master of not just one instrument, but can rock lead guitar, bass, and drums with the best of them. Here, he performs all of the parts from Metallica’s classic Master of Puppets like a badass. His cover of YYZ by Rush is solid too.
Musician Cooper Carter shreds like a boss as he replicates the rich orchestral sounds of John Williams’ Imperial March by playing all 28 of its instrumental parts on various electric guitars and basses. He previously used the same technique with Star Wars’ main theme.
Learn to play the guitar like a pro with this nifty gadget. It slides beneath the strings onto the fret board of any 6-string guitar, and uses LEDs to show you where to place your fingers as you build your skills. A companion smartphone app provides lessons and tracks your progress.
From dive-bombs to double-stops to finger-picking, there are tons of different techniques and flourishes that guitarists can incorporate into their jams. Music is Win did his best to incorporate all of them into a single 3-minute solo performance. You missed a couple, dude.
The fidgetspinnerpocalypse is upon us, and these kinetic toys are everywhere now. Musician Davie504 thought he’d try something different than just wasting time with his fidget spinner, and used it to strum the strings on his bass guitar. Turns out it’s perfect for surf rock.
Musician Miguel Montalban turns in an epic lead guitar performance on his cover version of the Dire Straits classic Sultans of Swing as he plays for a crowd of bystanders in London. His Sweet Child O’ Mine and Stairway to Heaven are equally enthralling.

Archaeologists Macgregor and Shearer invite visitors on a journey to explore the timescapes of Stroan through a series of sculpture installation. The Stroan Viaduct represents a junction – a convergence of watery and human energies, all around the viaduct are traces of past places, stories, of possibilities.
The Stroan Viaduct represents a junction – a convergence of watery and human energies. Boundaries blend and blur at these intersections, yet we demand certainty…worlds where past, present and future are neatly defined and categorised. All around the viaduct are traces of past places, stories, of possibilities.
This project invites the visitor to explore the little known micro-landscapes of the Stroan Viaduct and, through reference to other sites in the surrounding area, to journey through the blurred boundaries which extend across the landscape. We seek to highlight places which have been appropriated as natural; renamed and reclaimed; places that are familiar and unfamiliar; mythical spaces that have fired literary imaginations; those that are yet to emerge…and…????
There will be several devices which help mediate this conversation, including a project website, and a wanderers guide, where All Will Be Revealed.
Gavin McGregor & Ingrid Shearer
Gavin & Ingrid work for an educational charity called Northlight Heritage. They are immersed in the past, permeated with prehistory, and moulded by the Medieval. In different guises, they have explored the archaeological and cultural heritage components of landscapes across Scotland from mountain top, through river systems, and the realities of the urban. Their practice is concerned with how our relationship with the past creates different possibilities for the future function, character and values of our landscapes.

Narnia Bibliography: (click on each album cover to view tracks and Narnia lyrics)
In the end of the year 1993 Christian Liljegren and I met for the very first time. The location was a no longer existing recordstore in our hometown Jönköping. Jönköping is a small town in the south of sweden, with a lot of musical activity going on. At that time Christian and his band Modest Attraction was just about to release their debut album "The truth in Your face". I was in a band called Sentinel. We had a short conversation, swapped phonenumbers and kept in touch after that first meeting.
The Years went by and we kept struggling with our bands. Modest Attraction released their second CD, "Divine Luxury", at the same time as I decided to leave Sentinel. At that time Christian gave me a phone-call. He asked me if I was interested in being a part of his future solo-project. He had a passion for melodic hardrock, a kind of music that he wasn't able or even allowed to perform in his band Modest Attraction. I said: "Yes, I'm in..." A few months later Christian called me again and said that Modest Attraction was going on tour to Germany and their guitar-player Stephan Mohlin wasn't able to go with them for different reasons. I was asked to fill the guitar spot for him, which I did. Then Stephan Mohlin quit the band and I was asked to be their permanent guitarist. At the same time as Christian and I was in Modest Attraction we kept planning the "project" that Christian had a vision of. We had some old songs from previous bands that we tried to shape up as well as possible. We entered the "Topz Recording" studio in september that year. "Topz Recording" was a small, analog studio, deep down under ground. (We eventually "named" it "Hell studio" because of the many stairs down under the street.) So, it was just me and Christian then. I played the instruments, Christian did the vocals. The recordings went on and on for months because of the very short recording sessions. 4-5 hours a day was the standard that was set by our two engineers. There were a few guest on this album. One of them was Jakob Persson who later on turned out to be Narnia's permanent bass-player. Janne Stark also did a guest-solo on guitar and Mart Hallek played violin.
In January we were finally able to see the light and the end of this quiet tedious recording. As we were going to mix the album I caught a flue, nastier than ever before. I was only there for two songs so Christian had to be responible for this by himself. After a week of hard work by Christian and our engineers, the "Awakening" album was mixed. After the mastering at Starec Studio we handed over a CDR to our agent at that time, Magnus Söderkvist. He went to the MIDEM festival in France and introduced our record to 10 Japanese labels. 9 of them were eager to sign a deal with Narnia. A bidding between the companies started and we eventually decided to stick with Pony Canyon. Other artist on Pony Canyon are: Marillion, Jens & Anders Johansson, Yngwie Malmsteen, John Paul Jones, (ex Led Zeppelin) Joe Lynn Turner (ex Rainbow) and many more.
In May Christian and I went on our last, short tour with Modest Attraction. We headed for Germany and Switzerland and during that trip we met Matthias Mittelstädt. Matthias had a managment company called MCM Music together with his brother Rainer. Matthias loved our album and offered himself to become our manager. We felt that the chemistry was right and ended up on MCM. Other bands on MCM are Saviour Machine, Rob Rock etc.
Now we wanted to play live of course. We gathered some talented friends and Narnia Mark I was born.
This lineup did it's first and last concert in Huskvarna, Sweden at the "Ung Kraft" festival on March 24 -97. Right after that Fredrik quit the band because of lack of time.
On July 18 "Awakening" was released in Japan. The release was a small success for us and we gained a lot of fans over there. We needed a new drummer and we found Andreas Johansson who auditioned and joined us in August. Since then Mark II is still together.
European record labels got more and more interested in Narnia. We signed with the German metal-label Nuclear Blast. Together with swedish Hammerfall we were one of the first melodic bands on Nuclear Blast.
Nuclear Blast released the "Awakening" in February. We did shows in Sweden and Germany and in April we got the opportunity to open up for Stratovarius in Turku and Helsinki, Finland. We also appeared on Finnish TV. More and more people heard of Narnia all over Europe. A big dream came true when we were asked to do a concert at the legendary "Monsters of Rock" festival in Milano, Italy. Of course we were overwhelmed. We were going to play with bands like Deep Purple, Van Halen, Dream Theater and many more. Two weeks before the festival we got the sad news that the festival was moved to a smaller arena, and a lot of bands were refused to play. That dream crashed and burned as dreams do sometimes but that same day we were asked to go on tour to Germany/Switzerland with Ronnie James Dio. That helped us to lick our wounds.
During the summer of 98 we spent a few hot months in the studio, recording our second album "Long Live the King". The location this time was "Berghem Studio" outside Jönköping, Sweden. A very nice studio on the countryside. The "Awakening" album had a stiff project atmosphere because of the limitation of just two persons performing. This time we worked hard to make a band-record. The whole band was in the studio. As You might hear Christian tried a slightly different vocal style. He brought the vocal lines down a bit, to a lower register. As the producer of this album I tried to make it big, inspired by the sound of Black Sabbath's "Tyr".
The guests on this album was once again Mart Hallek but also Sonny Larsson who did some background vocals.
On the 22nd of september,the very day after the album was finished, we were on a plane to Germany where were going to spend the following three weeks in busses, hotels, clubs and halls. The tour was called "To Hull and back" and it was a three band package.
We did 15 shows in Germany/Switzerland and it was GREAT. There were between 500-2000 people showing up each night. Many of the clubs and halls were sold out and packed.
As soon as we got home Christian and I was invited to Japan to promote the upcoming "LLTK" album. It was four hectic days of interviews with TV, Radio and magazines. (Luckily we also had one day off to see Van Halen at the famous Budokan arena.) During our Tokyo stay I met Caparison guitars that I'm now endorsed by.
When we got home from Japan we did a few more shows on our own continent that year. We headed back to Germany where we played the "Christmas Rock Night", Ennepetal with Saviour Machine and Ken Tamplin etc.
1999 started out good with the release of the new Narnia album "Long Live The King". We had a releaseparty in our hometown Jönköping that were totally sold out and there were hundreds of people outside.
Christian worked hard, doing interviews with radio, magazines and e-zines all over the world. We had good reviews everywhere, better than the "Awakening" but saleswise "LLTK" never really reached to the same level as "Awakening". We did concerts in Sweden, Finland and Germany.
Overall, this year wasn't as hectic as the previous year. There was time for us to do some different things. Sometimes I was even afraid that Narnia was dying.
Christian put his own band Wisdom Call together. "LLTK" was kind of a "slow" record and Christian's fascination for fast music, and the need to rehearse more often to keep his voice trained, made him put this band together. Together with a friend of mine, the singer Pär Hagström, I recorded a cover-version of Yngwie Malmsteen's "Dark ages". It was released as a tribute to Yngwie Malmsteen on the record "A guitar odyssey". I started to write new music for Narnia as well.
In the beginning of this year we had enough songs to start recording a new album. In March we started. Once again we were in "Berghem Studio". We recorded the drums and rhythm guitars there and then we moved in to my own "Dream Factory" studio to record the rest. I had just started to build this studio and we ran into some serious computer problems for a while. There were some drives that were striking. It's almost embaressing to admit now but for different reasons it was really hard to find the actual problem. I bought some new drives and we were ready to move on. We were looking back at the "LLTK" album and what we saw was something that were proud of but this time we wanted to do something different. We wanted to make our new CD more alive, basic and raw than any of the previous ones. Once again I was producing it myself. I tried to build up an aggressive type of sound, influenced by records from the '70s. More guitars, less keyboards, distorted bass and "basement drums". Christian's lyrics on this album are more personal than ever and Andreas, Jakob and Martin did their best and most relaxed performances to date.
The only guest on this album was Pär Hagström who did backgound vocals and on additional lead-part.
We recorded a cover of Uriah Heep's "Sunrise". This was made for a Uriah Heep tribute record. The release was set to the year 2001.
We did a lot of nice touring this year. We played in Sweden, Norway, Finland, Holland, England and Germany. In Holland Andreas was temporarily replaced by former Modest Attraction drummer Mick Norström. We were totally blown away by the crowds in our "first time countries" Holland and England. We just stood there with stupid looks on our faces, receiving a wonderful welcoming from the audiences in Rotterdam, Holland and Sheltenham, UK. The show in Sheltenham was at the old, famous Greenbelt festival.
We celebrated christmas-time with the Japenese release of our new CD "Desert Land" on December 20 and New Years eve with a big concert in Seinäjoki, Finland.
We started this year with promotion activities for the "Desert Land" release in Europe, North & South America and Australia. Christian went to Germany and the headquarter of Nuclear Blast to meet the press and to do phone-interviews all over the world. The reviews of "Desert Land" was better than any of the previous records.
The album was released on February 14 and once again we had a release party in Jönköping. We did two concerts this night, to get everybody in.
In the fall of 2001 Jakob Persson was replaced by the talented bassplayer Andreas Olsson who had played together with Christian in his project Wisdom call. He was and still is a member of the band Stormwind. Right after that we started composing music for a new album. For this album we decided to realize a long-time idea of making a concept album.
In this year I also became a part of the American band/project Saviour Machine. The record "Legend III:I" was recorded this year
This year we made a small bunch of concerts, composed music and worked on the concept for "The Great Fall". It was recorded in spread-out sessions from the spring of 2002 to early 2003. We had two special-guest appearances on the album by Mr Eric Clayton (Saviour Machine) and Mr Anders Johansson (HammerFall)
Christian also worked a lot with his label Rivel Records and with other musical projects. I played on the "Live in Deutchland 2002" DVD/CD with Saviour Machine that came out in the fall of this year.
Right after "The Great Fall" was mixed I recieved a phone-call from our keyboard-player Martin. He wanted to leave the band. After 6 years with the band he felt that it was time to move on for different reasons. We licked our wounds and asked our friend Linus Kase to join immediately, which he did!
A month later we were asked to do a concert in Owen, Germany and we thought "Hey, let's record it and put a LIVE-DVD out". So, we made all arrangements, got a new deal for it with German label Massacre real quick and pulled it off to our own surprise. In the summer we joined with Dio for one concert in Vasteras, Sweden.
The autumn was spent mixing, editing, cutting and mastering the DVD which turned out GREAT! A big THANK YOU to everyone who attended this memorable and luckily well-documented concert.
Christian was working hard this year together with Lars Chriss from Lions Share on a project called "Audiovision". Christian and Linus was also working together on a project called "Windy City". The debut CD of the band "System Breakdown", that I'm in together with Andreas J, was released this year. Andreas J was on tour with one of Sweden's most famous domestic artists "Carola" on her "Twentieth anniversary" tour.
God bless You all and have a great life!

Sumoi Mari (Assam), June 2 (ANI): Thousands of tribals of the 'Misings' tribe are under threat due to heavy soil erosion in Assam's Sumoi Mari village.
The Bramhaputra River floods the village situated in Majuli quite often, causing immense erosion of fertile and cultivatable land.
Frequent flooding has compelled the natives to live in temporary shacks made of bamboo and cane, as every year the river washes their homes away.
The village lacks the benefit of any basic amenities and the locals are surviving by primarily engaging in weaving or working as daily wagers on rice fields in the nearby areas.
The villagers have been displaced for a record seven times in the span of just three decades, with the last one being in the year 2007.
Koleshwari, a village elder appeared disappointed due to negligence and lack of support from the state government.
"After settling here, the Government has done nothing for us. We have heard about National rural employment guarantee Act (NREGA) Job Card, but we have never seen or known what Job Card is," said Koleshwari.
"The Government has miserably failed to provide us the promised Below Poverty Line (BPL) card and Rajiv Gandhi Yojana Scheme. Only few have benefited so far," he added.
Mitu Khataniar, a social worker from Majuli said the region has potential to boost its local economy through tourism, but needs government support.
"The river is causing erosion and every year we are losing a lot of lands and suffering from the erosion. We have no land; nearby people living on other rivers embankments are also suffering. There is no rehabilitation," said Khataniar.
"We want to develop the roadways, as here at Majuli there is a lot of tourism potential and the government has not taken any initiative steps to develop the tourism sector here," he added.
The Majuli Island is the largest freshwater island in Asia and has been declared a world natural heritage site for its flora and fauna. (ANI)

In early June this year, the roof of the Cellar Theatre collapsed due to heavy rainfall. The Cellar is underneath the Holme Building, and is the traditional home of the Sydney University Dramatic Society (SUDS).
Though there were initial hopes that the Cellar would resume operating at the start of semester two, it is now scheduled to reopen in January.
University of Sydney Union (USU) President Courtney Thompson told Honi that “the Cellar is on track to be restored in time for the Summer Season.”
No specific date has been set for the new theatre to open.
The last major USU construction project — Hermann’s Bar — was delayed for several weeks before opening part-way through this semester.
Keshini de Mel, SUDS President, said that the first show to be staged in the new Cellar has not yet been determined, but indicated that, on the current timeline, the last play to be staged in SUDS’ temporary home in the Holme Common Room will be The Dark Room.
For SUDS, the relocation away from the Cellar has been challenging.
“Repairs in the Cellar took longer than expected and we were never sure when they would be done”, de Mel said. “this meant that shows only ever got two to four weeks’ notice about whether to prepare a show for the Cellar or the Common Room.”
“The C&S office has been very good in giving us stability in difficult circumstances”, de Mel added. “They deserve a medal.”
Thompson similarly thanked SUDS as a whole, and specifically the production teams of plays that have been staged in the Common Room for their flexibility.
For the last several years, the USU has been in a parlous financial state, making either bare profits or deficits.
Fortunately, the cost of repairing the Cellar, which will include a new insulated ceiling to prevent noise leakage from the building above and a more versatile lighting rig, will be borne by the University, according to Thompson.
“It isn’t costing the USU anything as the University is contributing.”
Julie Parsons, community engagement manager for the University’s Campus Infrastructure Services division, told Honi that the refurbishments were being funded by the University’s repairs and maintenance budget. Honi originally speculated that the funds may have been drawn from Student Services and Amenities Fee payments, as other USU construction works have been.
“The University is proud to support and partner with the USU and its members wherever possible to enhance the great work they do in creating the best student experience and University life”, Parsons said.
The University’s repairs to the Cellar are being carried out under its standard arrangement to maintain USU buildings, according to Parsons.
One wonders then, why the handle of the door to the SRC, which is similarly housed on USU property, remains broken.

Many of us think that we are aware about stress, but the fact is, what all we know are myths about stress. But, it really is necessary for us to clear these myths. Yes, because knowing the myths associated with stress helps us to deal with it in a beneficial and positive way and helps us to lead a happy and disease free life.
So, let us look at the some of the common myths associated with stress.
- It is a common myth among people that stress is unavoidable and you cannot do anything about it. But, with proper analysis and thinking it is possible to handle stress.
- As many people think, stress is not bad in each and every situation. For those people who know the ways of handle it, stress makes them productive. Like, a batsman in a cricket field, under stress, knows how to handle it and tries to score more runs than, what he does under normal conditions. So, it is a myth that stress is always and under all conditions awful.
- Many people think that stress reductions techniques are the same for everyone, but, it is a myth. A technique that has helped you to reduce your stress levels may be the cause of causing stress to other. So there are no universal techniques which all can follow, in fact, these techniques need to be tailored according to individual needs.
- Most of the people think that stress is same for everyone, but, it is not so, because each individuals response to stress is different.
- Many people live under the false impression, that, if they don’t find any physical symptoms associated with stress, they don’t have it. But, the truth is, only when stress exceeds its level, it express itself in the form of physical illness or disease.
So, cut off any myths and illusions about stress. Know the facts and realities and live a happy and peaceful life.

As much as I adore the S.H.I.E.L.D.s and Agent Carters and Arrows of the world, Supergirl looks like everything fans have wanted out of a superhero TV show for years. It’s cheesy and gives you all those warm fuzzy feelings, but that’s why it looks amazing. It’s a smart return to the bright and colorful days of Christopher Reeve’s Superman. For many, the complaint about Superman as a hero is that he’s boring, overpowered, and well, perfect. Supergirl may have all of the same powers, but judging from the extended preview, she certainly isn’t lacking for internal and external struggles and I am so excited to watch her become a hero.
SUPERGIRL is an action-adventure drama based on the DC Comics character Kara Zor-El (Melissa Benoist), Superman’s (Kal-El) cousin who, after 12 years of keeping her powers a secret on Earth, decides to finally embrace her superhuman abilities and be the hero she was always meant to be. Twelve-year-old Kara escaped the doomed planet Krypton with her parents’ help at the same time as the infant Kal-El. Protected and raised on Earth by her foster family, the Danvers, Kara grew up in the shadow of her foster sister, Alex (Chyler Leigh), and learned to conceal the phenomenal powers she shares with her famous cousin in order to keep her identity a secret. Years later at 24, Kara lives in National City assisting media mogul and fierce taskmaster Cat Grant (Golden Globe Award winner Calista Flockhart), who just hired the Daily Planet’s former photographer, James Olsen (Mehcad Brooks), as her new art director. However, Kara’s days of keeping her talents a secret are over when Hank Henshaw (David Harewood), head of a super-secret agency where her sister also works, enlists her to help them protect the citizens of National City from sinister threats. Though Kara will need to find a way to manage her newfound empowerment with her very human relationships, her heart soars as she takes to the skies as Supergirl to fight crime. Greg Berlanti (“The Flash,” “Arrow”), Ali Adler, Sarah Schecter and Andrew Kreisberg are executive producers for Berlanti Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television. The pilot was directed by Glen Winter (“Arrow”).

Japanese Friendship Garden
Somewhat of a park inside of a park, the Japanese Friendship Garden is a sanctuary of calm inside busy Balboa Park. Symbolic of the friendship between San Diego and the Japanese city of Yokohama, this 20-acre garden has over 200 cherry trees that dot the manicured landscape. In keeping with the tradition of Japanese gardens, the landscape here is methodically arranged so the stones, water, trees, and plants have a natural and calming energy. It’s a place for serene, inward reflection, and also a place where visitors can experience traditional Japanese culture. Stop for a drink at the tea museum and gaze out over the ponds, or wander through gardens that are meticulously planted in traditional Japanese herbs. On weekends, there can be classes in everything from Japanese language to the art of fine calligraphy, as well as a festival for the cherry blossom bloom that takes place every March.

After long hesitation, our vocalist Roni Leskinen has decided to part his ways with us. He was a vital part of your first EP and a good bandmate.
Gladly our search for a new vocalist didn’t take excessive amounts of time and joining our journey with The Divergent will be Joonas Kataja. His growls and clean vocals will be significantly needed on the upcoming releases.
The Divergent is currently working on their second EP/Album. There are handful of songs already written and Roni is currently demoing vocal and lyric ideas. We’re hoping to start recording during this year.
Sadly our drummer Eetu who worked with us on our first EP has decided to leave the band due to duties with his current band What Awaits Us.
The Divergent has made a debut release 4.5.2019, which includes 5-song EP and a music video from the song Neuroplasticity. The songs are progressive, djentish, groovy, melodic and punchy metal. Lyrics stem from the absurdity of the modern era – an indolence of humankind to react to chaos it has brought upon itself and on the environment – and the personal struggle and conflict of what being part of it creates.
We sincerely hope that you enjoy our music! If you do, come and join us with the journey! Every like, share and follow will be greatly appreciated, see you on the road!


If you have a large number of specialized instruments that your business uses daily that need to be calibrated, you should consider the benefits of onsite calibration. Onsite calibrations provide a host of advantages over sending your sensitive equipment off-site to be calibrated.
#1: Eliminate Downtime
When you have to send your equipment off-site to be calibrated, there is a lot of downtimes. You have to take apart and pack up your equipment, transport or ship the equipment to the calibration center, get it calibrated and shipped back to you, and set the equipment up again without compromising the calibration process.
Your equipment will spend more time being transported, taken apart, and set up than it will actually spend being calibrated. Off-site calibration requires your equipment to be off-line for an expensive period, which can impact your bottom line and productivity.
With onsite calibration services, your equipment only needs to be off-line long enough for the calibration process to take place. It should be calibrated with some equipment when it is being operated, so for that equipment, you will not have any downtime. Downtime can be very costly, so eliminating downtime can make the calibration process more affordable.
#2: Eliminate Shipping Costs
Shipping sensitive equipment is no cheap task. You must use specialized boxes and containers to ship the equipment to ensure it isn't damaged. You generally have to pay for specialized white-glove shipping as well. Shipping costs to get your equipment calibration can quickly add up; you can eliminate the shipping cost with onsite calibration.
#3: More Frequent Calibrations
With little to no downtime and no shipping costs, you will be able to afford to calibrate your equipment more frequently. More frequent calibration means your equipment will have a greater chance to work as optimally as possible. You will enjoy better performance from your equipment with more frequent calibration.
#4: Lab Quality Calibration
Onsite calibration is just as vigorous as off-site calibration. A highly trained calibration technician will come to your place of work. They will talk with you to understand the technical requirements you need from your equipment. They will store the date from the calibration process in a calibration asset management system that you can access at any time. They will provide you with all the documentation you need onsite before leaving.
With onsite calibration, you will get the same high-quality calibration you would off-site, with less downtime, no shipping costs, and personal interaction with the calibration specialist.


Rick Moranis - "My mothers brisket" CD,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: My Mother's Brisket & Other Love Songs (Audio CD)
Who knew that lovable Rick Moranis (Honey I shrunk the kids, etc) was so musical?!
These songs, often in Klesmer style, are extremely funny and very well written. He has a
really good group of musicians with him (he plays guitar and sings).
Not sure that non-Jewish listeners would get as much out of it.
