Australian publications in the 19th century often reported on opera and popular concerts. Australian Musical News (1911–63) focused more on classical music. As popular music became more commercial and internationally influenced, magazines provided important connections between audiences and artists.
The local rock and pop industries benefited from an increasingly sophisticated music press from the 1960s, beginning with Go-Set in 1966. Published weekly in Melbourne until 1974, the teen-oriented title introduced the first national pop record charts and featured contributors including Stan ‘The Man’ Rofe, Ian ‘Molly’ Meldrum, Lily Brett and Vince Lovegrove.
Interestingly, Go-Set predated the iconic international popular music magazine Rolling Stone by a year. Rolling Stone Australia was initially published by Go-Set’s co-founder, Phillip Frazer, in Melbourne in 1970 as a supplement in Revolution, a monthly counter-culture spin-off from Go-Set. When the Australian stand-alone version of Rolling Stone was released, it included local and international reports, and is one of the longest surviving international editions still in circulation. By 2013 it was published by the Bauer Media Group, with a circulation of 18,000.
Influenced by the British rock magazines New Musical Express and Melody Maker, RAM (Rock Australia Magazine, 1975–89), Juke (1975–94) and Roadrunner: Australia’s Independent Music Paper (c. 1978–79) also provided fans with intelligent interviews and analysis. Following these were Australian versions of international pop titles like Smash Hits (1984–2007), Kerrang (2001–05), focusing on heavy rock music, and the Australian version of Classic Rock (2008– ). A relatively distinct local voice, Juice (1993–2003), was published as an alternative voice. ABC classical music titles such as 24 Hours (1989–2003) and Limelight (2003– ) focused on the most popular Australian and international artists of the day.
Within the music magazine landscape in Australia, Rolling Stone is considered by publicists, record labels and artist managers to be a ‘long-lead’ publication—one with which publicists communicate in advance about editorial coverage. These include the weekend magazines that are published with newspapers, broader culture/style magazines such as frankie (2004– ), key music magazines like triple j magazine (2005– ) and trade publication The Music Network (1994–2013). These are usually published monthly and are key ‘taste-making’ publications. In addition, the Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA), the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA), the Australian Music Industry Directory (AMID) and the Australian Independent Record Labels Association (AIR) have circulated trade oriented long-lead publications from time to time.
Zines, magazines and newspapers are often referred to as the ‘street press’ because they are available free to consumers from outlets such as cafes, bars, clubs, live music venues and record stores. They are subsidised by advertising, and their editorial coverage sometimes correlates with advertising spending. These publications have varied over time in terms of funding, expertise, exposure and support; however, they remain important touchstones for artists, audiences and music enthusiasts, and have been an important resource for up-and-coming artists, journalists and photographers.
While the front covers of street press magazines are often secured a long way out by publicists, these magazines are often used by live music promoters, due to their wide distribution and fast publication. Artists and promoters can sometimes pay to get editorial coverage and advertisements in a package deal with a short turn-around time to publication.
Most major capital cities (and some regional centres) have had dedicated street press or community music press at some point; however, as with much media in recent times, these have also undergone changes in terms of ownership, networking and sharing of resources. A good example of this is Street Press Australia (SPA), which now owns formerly independent titles including Drum Media (Sydney, 1990– ); Perth, 2006– ), Inpress (Melbourne, 1988– ) and Time Off (Brisbane, 2004– ). The change in ownership, and the changing nature of media and music consumption, have meant that content is now shared broadly across these titles. In August 2013, SPA’s four titles were all rebranded as The Music, with additional features in each city edition, a move that also allowed for the consolidation of the print titles with the company’s internet presence, theMusic.com.au. Beyond SPA’s suite of publications are other street publications, including Brag (Sydney, 2003– ), Beat Magazine (Melbourne, 1989– ), Rip It Up Magazine (Adelaide, 1989– ) and X press Magazine (Perth, 1990– ).
Specific music genres have their own publications. The development of jazz in Australia was covered notably in Australian Band News, established in 1906 and continuing as Music Maker until 1972. In the country music field, the monthly Capital News has been published out of Tamworth since 1989, while Country Update (1996– ) is published quarterly.
The enduring challenge for any niche publisher in Australia, with its small population, is to survive commercially. For example, during publication of its 361 monthly issues, Opera Australia/Opera-Opera (1978–2007) was supported by the finances and professional diligence of its sole editor, David Gyger. Such Australian publishing requires subsidy—in ‘cash and kind’—by all who are associated with it. Music Forum (1996– ), the monthly organ of the Music Council of Australia, publishes serious material on music education, music and society, composition, music and political policy as well as reviews of recordings, largely thanks to the benevolence of the editor, Dr Richard Letts.
The significance of print titles has diminished in the digital age, as online magazines, websites, gig guides and blogs have largely superseded them. These include the Oz Music Project (archived at Pandora) and sites dedicated to specific genres like inthemix (dance), FasterLouder (rock), and Mess+Noise (indie/alternative), which over the last decade have developed strong followings locally as well as internationally, covering Australian music as well as international artists visiting here.
Consumers can now access editorial content from leading international magazines and blogs such as Pitchfork.com and NME.com, and promoters can use Facebook and other social media to advertise shows to consumers.

Facebook is reportedly considering a ban on political ads before the US elections this year. Bloomberg reported the news today, saying that the idea will be discussed internally but isn’t yet a company policy. The step would drastically escalate Facebook’s current plans for preventing misinformation or meddling in the 2020 elections.
There’s not much detail about the policy, but based on Bloomberg’s report, the blackout could be brief — a matter of a few short days before election day in November. Facebook has previously allowed users to “turn off” political ads and added disclosure requirements, and it’s attempting to provide reliable information with a voting hub. But it’s stopped in short supply of banning the ads themselves, in contrast having its rival Twitter, which announced a political ad ban last year.
Bloomberg writes that there are concerns about hampering “get out the vote” efforts or restricting how a candidate could react to breaking news.
However, a ban would also protect Facebook from bad publicity from inflammatory ads — just like a Trump ad that it removed as a result of Nazi imagery. For Facebook critics who argue the website promotes polarization and manipulation, a temporary blackout can also be considered an easy method of limiting its effects in the immediate lead-up to the election.

Seems like a good investment right? Finding out how much gas a Dinosaur produced every year in order to determine the amount of methane produced and find out how much effect this has on the warmth of the earth… Well someone paid David Wilkinson from Liverpool John Moore’s University, and colleagues from the University of London and the University of Glasgow to get this valuable information. They suggest the gas could have been a key factor in the warm climate 150 million years ago. Obviously they assume certain factors like the age of the earth, but I will cut them a break on that and say this is just ridiculous.
For Dr Wilkinson, it was not the giants that were of interest but the microscopic organisms living inside them.
“The ecology of microbes and their role in the working of our planet are one of my key interests in science,” he told BBC Nature
As interesting as this research is I find it hard to justify the efforts in getting this information, but you never know. Maybe if we can get all the living creatures of the world to stop farting the earth will get cooler, assuming it is getting warmer.
Well that’s all folks, stop farting and save the world.

Doctors claim pharmacy chain Walgreens refusing to fill pain meds

Top local surgeons are going after a major pharmacy chain for refusing to fill legitimate pain medication prescriptions.
Investigative reporter Aaron Diamant talked with doctors who say the company is harassing their patients.
The surgeon who tipped Diamant off to the situation said he was fuming mad and totally frustrated about what he said has been going on at Walgreens pharmacies all over our area for more than a year.
Diamant spent two days trying to get answers from the company.
Nationally-known Smyrna plastic surgeon Keith Jeffords said more of his patients keep running into the same problem.
"This happens at least every other week in my practice," Jeffords said.
Pharmacists are challenging, and in many cases refusing to fill legitimate prescriptions for post-operative narcotic pain medications such as Vicodin at Walgreens pharmacies.
"It's a consistent finding through any metro Atlanta Walgreens that a patient is harassed," Jeffords said.
Robin Haaland, who flew in from Utah for a procedure in August, got turned away at a Walgreens along Cobb Parkway, even after Jeffords spoke to the pharmacist himself.
"At the time I was more embarrassed, because there were people standing around. I felt like I did something wrong," Haaland said.
"We can't get to the bottom of it," said plastic surgeon Dr. Carmen Kavali.
Kavali said Walgreens pharmacists routinely refuse to fill pain med prescriptions for her patients, too.
"We called. Shut down. Can't get anywhere. There's no information to be had. The manager just says this is our policy. What's your policy? Tell me what it is so I can meet your policy and get these prescriptions filled for these patients who need them," Kavali said
Unable to get answers, Jeffords has posted a warning for patients in his lobby and on his practice's Facebook page.
"I'm not going to have any of my prescriptions go to Walgreens ever again," Jeffords said.
The surgeons say their colleagues in our area are dealing with the same thing.
After two days of investigating, Walgreens sent Diamant a statement, saying, "Our pharmacists use their professional judgment when evaluating and dispensing all prescriptions. They can consult with the prescriber or patient at any time if they feel a medication prescribed is not appropriate. We are looking into the concerns that were raised by these prescribers."

Origin, benefits, precautions and contraindications
Ayurveda makes you understand your health from the inside so that you are informed and inspired to live your life with complete awareness.
All healthy and living tissues breathe with the motion of life. According to studies, Craniosacral Therapy may relieve the symptoms of stress in the human body. This therapy involves a process that produces rhythmic vibrations.
What Is Craniosacral Therapy? Where did it originate?
Craniosacral Therapy is a therapy focused on respiration and on regulating the flow of cerebra-spinal fluid in the human body. The therapy is intended to give relief from pain by manipulations of the skull. This harmonizes with the natural rhythm in the nervous system of a human body.
William Sutherland, an osteopath, founded the field of cranial osteopathy. According to him, the cranial bone mobility affects the whole body.
John Upledger, an osteopathic physician, became convinced of its effectiveness in a number of conditions. As a result, he established a therapy called Craniosacral Therapy.
Benefits of Craniosacral therapy:
Craniosacral therapy is a form of bodywork that focuses on the bones of the head. The main goal of the therapy is to alleviate stress and pain in the body.
Below are some of the major benefits of Craniosacral therapy:
- The therapy is used to restore the natural position of the bones
- Decreases stress from chronic diseases
- Provides relief from migraine headaches, neck and back pain and joint disorders
- Helps in enhancing the sleep pattern
- Nourishes brain and the spinal cord
- Helps with hearing problems
- Prevents abnormal fear
- Helps in curing Down syndrome
- Helps in Autism
- Strengthens body
- Prevents stress and tension related problems
- Prevents chronic fatigue
Studies or research related to the Efficacy of Craniosacral Therapy
There is good evidence on the research about how CST works.
- There is scientific evidence that Craniosacral Therapy came to mutually exclusive conclusion in patients with stress and pain.
- The subtle effects of the therapy certainly exist. Though the effects of the therapy cannot be measured, the effects are certainly there.
- Evidence has shown that it is a deeply relaxing and comforting therapy and has produced a soothing experience in the patients.
How is Craniosacral Therapy done?
The therapy is performed with the person fully clothed. A light touch is used by the practitioner to monitor the rhythm of the craniosacral system in order to detect the imbalances inside.
Delicate manual techniques are used by the therapist to release the problem areas and relieve pressure in the brain.
The therapy session can last from 15 minutes to one hour. It can be used alone or can be used in conjunction with other therapies.
Pain relief from Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral therapy helps relieve chronic pain and promotes deep sense of relaxation in the body. The process involves use of an air mattress and the patients feel like they are floating in the clouds.
The therapy is best for people who cannot lie comfortably on their back and, or, those who are suffering from chronic pain.
The patients suffering from migraine pain and any other chronic pain can undergo this therapy to get relief from pain and stress in the body.
Craniosacral therapy – Precautions and counter indications
CST is a viable health care option for people of all ages. There are few contraindications to the therapy that you need to know before opting for it:
- People with acute intracranial hemorrhage or recent skull fracture cannot undergo this therapy.
- It is very important to know the patient history in advance before doing the therapy. If there is an underlying problem in patients that counter interacts, the therapy needs to be stopped immediately.
- There are some conditions which an experienced Craniosacral therapist should be kept informed about by the patient, such as puncture in the craniosacral system, recent fracture of the vertebral column or ribs.
Your practitioner will evaluate all options as well as your complete medical profile before recommending a go ahead with the therapy.

French photographer Bruno Serralongue (b. 1968) goes to the same places that photojournalists do, but the images with which he returns are not the same as theirs, nor does he publish his pictures in journalistic contexts. He made the extensive “South Sudan Series (8-12 July 2011)” during a week of celebrations, just as the new state achieved its independence. Under dull blue skies in the capital city, Juba, we see ceremonies, speeches, dances, concerts and a football match marking the formal completion of a process that began in 2005. In comparison with some of the artist’s previous work, like the “Calais” series (2006-08), which found beauty in a no-man’s-land where would-be immigrants to Britain gather, these images offer little esthetic enjoyment.
The two dozen or so Ilfochromes and pigment prints from the “South Sudan” series shown here—most of them large, around 50 by 60 inches—are shot from ground level, not from the high pens into which members of the press have been corralled to record events (and which appear in several of Serralongue’s images). From his more immersive perspective, Serralongue presents a poor country still requiring a significant military presence. Basic urban settlements are gray but for the advertisements for telecommunication networks or photography studios that offer a brighter reality. If colorful “native” costumes and rudimentary infrastructure (dirt side-walks and plastic chairs) confirm a familiar stereotype of Africa, other elements would look equally at home during a Western event, like the passes and ID tags wreathed around the necks of official-looking figures. Despite the provisional nature of the sites at which the events are taking place, hopes are high: slogans formed by hundreds of participants holding up cards in formation read, “Brothers and sisters come back home,” “Yes to peace, no more war” and “Free health care for all.”
Serralongue, who studied art history before photography, makes his intent clear. He is particularly critical—as accompanying text explains—of how powerful external states exercise what Alain Badiou in Le reÌveil de l’histoire (The Rebirth of History, 2011) calls their insidious “right to interfere” with new nations.
The typical photojournalistic effort to capture events in a single, expressive shot—an approach encouraged by mainstream media—does not engage too deeply in the specifics of a given place. Serralongue wants to reframe the accepted story wherever he works, and to ensure that his version is not absorbed and nullified by its display. His many views—shot at the edges of crowds, or in the midst of the hubbub without an overview, or from behind a podium—generate no clarity. To borrow Roland Barthes’s terminology, Serralongue’s images are all “studium” and no “punctum.” The images supply content, description and information, but rarely a piercing moment; the viewer is not “grabbed” by the image, nor seduced by one captivating element. Rather than feed us answers, the images make us do the work of analysis. Serralongue understands that the notion of a cohesive and unified nation may always be far-fetched, and therefore manifests South Sudan in all its complexity and vulnerability.

Music enthusiasts, disc jocks, and music producers need different music studio softwares to come up with different kinds of music. To produce the best hip hop, rock, pop, and R&B music, you have to choose the best music production software. Choosing the best could be the most confusing task. Hence, it is important to look into the different descriptions of the different programs used in editing and producing music.
In choosing the best music studio softwares, try to consider the following music production software:
- Steinberg Cubase Studio 4. This brand is one of the most recognized studio programs. This comes with professional notation, a VST 3 plug in set, and over 600 sounds in an incorporated virtual instrument. Normally, a sound manager is necessitated in your studio to organize the music that comes from every instrument. However, Cubase 4 performs all of those through the virtual Sound Frame Universal Manager. The features of this software include 21 new VST 3 audio effect plug ins, user interface redesign, and professional score editing and layout.
- Sony Media ACID Music Studio 7. For those professional music enthusiasts and producers, this is the recommended brand. Known for being a creative software, this program is ideal for the following: original song creation, studio mixing, multi-tracking, and MIDI recording. Sounds complicated right? Don’t worry because this program comes with a highly detailed tutorial.
- Ableton Live 7. This is one of the best music studio softwares used if you are going to write and compose musical scores and songs. This program is easy to use, responsive, and very quick. This program also has tools that enable you to come up with an intricate music production. This program allows you to sequence MIDI and perform multi-tracking. This program allows you to come up with productions in an interactive way.
Those are just three of the highly recommended music studio softwares. Consider your current ability, the genre of music you want to produce, and the purpose in using an audio production program in choosing the best software for you. Each software has its own advantages and disadvantages depending on the considerations mentioned.

You know Rembrandt and his portraits in hats. You know his biblical scenes and his views of Amsterdam. You could recognize his style from afar. But do you know his saddest love story which considerably impacted on his painting and the rest of his life?
Rembrandt met Saskia van Uylenburgh in the house of her uncle who was an art dealer. She was a 21 years old girl from a respected and wealthy family – Rembrandt was no match for a girl from her social class. She must have been in love though, since against all conventions she really pressed for the marriage and a year after their engagement in 1633 they married. Nobody from Rembrandt’s family came for the celebration.
Rembrandt adored Saskia. She posed for him very often and he loved to paint her. She hides behind many of the female characters painted by Rembrandt. Here you can see her as Flora, a goddess of flowers. She looks pregnant – at that time Saskia was pregnant too, with their first son Rumbertus who died after birth. Their next child, daughter Cornelia died too and so did the next daughter. Only the fourth child, son Titus, survived childhood.
Sadly, after Titus’ birth in 1642 Saskia fell ill and she died a year after, aged 29. Rembrandt drew her even on her deathbed. After her death, his painting style changed. He focused on etchings and drawings, and abandoned oils for over seven years. Even when he returned to painting, his works were dark and penetrated with solitude and grief. Neither of his next two mistresses could have possibly taken the same place in his heart as Saskia.
THE SADDEST PART: With time, Rembrandt was getting poorer and poorer. He lost the inheritance after Saskia and he was forced to sell all his works. He was desperate to such an extent that he had to sell even Saskia’s grave. Heartbreaking.

Diana Ross has asked for privacy for the Jackson family.
The clan has been embroiled in a public feud in recent weeks involving claims that the late Michael Jackson's will was faked and police being called to an alleged domestic assault.
Ross has been caught up in the controversy after the custody arrangements of Jackson's children Prince, Paris and Blanket were called into question.
As Ross was Jackson's choice to look after the children after his mother Katherine Jackson, she was reportedly involved in the decision that led to TJ Jackson taking temporary guardianship of them.
However, Ross has now asked people to respect the family's privacy in a brief statement to The AP.
"All interests are best served if it remains private," she said.

5 things to know before seeing John Mellencamp in Ames
Heartland rock icon John Mellencamp returns to Iowa (sans Cougar) Sunday night for a one-night only performance at Stephens Auditorium in Ames.
Fans hoping to re-live glory of decades past to tracks like “Jack and Diane” and “Paper in Fire,” here’s what you can expect before taking the trip to Cyclone territory for the rock ‘n’ roll show.
Bringing the “Plain Spoken” songs to Ames
The 22nd studio record from Mellencamp dropped in September 2014 and his tour stop in Ames comes in support of the release. The 10-song effort debuted at No. 18 on the Billboard 200 album sales chart and No. 2 on the folk album chart. Pop culture staple Rolling Stone gave the record a three-and-a-half out of five stars review, saying: “He’s never inhabited traditional folk and blues-imbued settings as personally as on his 22nd album.”
More about the tour
Mellencamp announced the “Plain Spoken” North American tour in late 2014 and began playing gigs in January 2015. He announced an extension of the tour, including the Oct. 30 show in Ames, in April. The Ames show is one of the last remaining announced days the moderate rock icon plans to spend supporting the release, with shows wrapping in North Dakota on Nov. 4. The remaining scheduled dates include visits to other cities with major universities, including Oct. 28 in Columbia, Mo. and Nov. 1 in Lincoln, Neb.
But will he play the hits?
According to reviews from previous shows on the tour, Mellencamp doesn’t let his fans leave without hearing some of the star’s most classic rock hits. A review from Billboard in 2015 shows that monster tracks like “Jack and Diane,” “Small Town,” and “Cherry Bomb” all made the cut. The 21-song set list at this particular show — at New York City’s Apollo Theater — included solo, acoustic takes as well as full-blown rock band numbers off the new record.
Don’t forget his previous trips to Iowa
In late 2007, Mellencamp’s show at Wells Fargo Arena alongside Los Lobos took a political turn, as the Democratic candidate for President John Edwards appeared with him. According to an archived Register story, Edwards appeared on stage while Mellencamp performed an acoustic version of “Small Town.” Edwards and the dad rocker reunited in early 2008 for a rally and performance held at Val Air Ballroom in West Des Moines. Mellencamp previously brought the "Plain Spoken" tour to the Des Moines Civic Center in February 2015.

What else you may remember
Want to feel old? Mellencamp released his 11th studio album, “Whenever We Wanted,” 25 years ago in October. The album features two No. 1 charting Mainstream Rock tracks on Billboard: “Get A Leg Up” and “Again Tonight.” Want to feel even older? His debut solo record, “Chestnut Street Incident,” debuted 40 years ago to the month. The album was released under Mellencamp’s then stage name, Johnny Cougar. The next record from Mellencamp, a 2008 inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, is set to be a duet with singer Carlene Carter (daughter of June Carter), titled “Sad Clowns and Hillbillies.” No released date for the album has been announced.
If you go:
When: Oct. 30 at 7:30 p.m.
Where: Stephens Auditorium, 1805 Center Dr. #102, Ames.
Cost: $26.50-$119.50 on Ticketmaster.

When his twin brother dies, 50-year-old Willy leaves his parents’ home for the first time and moves to a neighboring village. “To Caudebec I shall go. I will find an apartment. I will have buddies. And to hell with you all!” Maladjusted, Willy sets out to find his place in an unfamiliar world.
This film is not currently playing on MUBI but 30 other great films are. See what’s now showing
A story about dreams, and how they often fall apart, slowly devoured by the reality of "everyday life". I imagine this film might seem bland, but this is where its honesty lies - it captures the desperate feeling of a dreamer finally waking up, facing the harsh reality, where escape means only one thing. It's a film about a small town, where nothing happens, littered with lonely souls. Surprisingly strong acting.
(3.5 stars) The movie deals with those ghosts that haunt us. Everyone has them and they are all different from person to person. It also deals with the concept of finding your place and what you value. Mental illness and acceptance as well. Woven into the story, these concepts are presented in a realistic manner that makes you uncomfortable at times. But, to its credit, the movie never shies away from these issues.
;;; (almost kinda sorta) a small masterpiece from the plains of France...being a bit of a "loser" myself I really enjoyed this portrayal of a person trying to stretch their wings after a lifetime of being cooped up in a box...
Like Carson McCullers transported to working class Normandy, this movie charms! The central relationship is as sweet as it is improbable. What's more, it's funny without ever tapping into exploitation (despite many, many opportunities to do otherwise). It's refreshing to not feel cruel about laughing as a fifty year old mentally disabled man unknowingly takes a whiff of poppers...
Very good editing/script/image all in off notes relying on plot devices a bit too hard towards the end. A film about loss, courage, where it is mostly all well done and that is really really worth a watch. Playing on the impossibility for the average audience of this film to identify with the characters, they are not just others but we are encouraged to thing of them as less, just to be shown how wrong we are.
Willy 1er has a strange beauty. The excellent work of the directors’ team, combined with Vannet's memorable performance, results in an idiosyncratic work. Influenced by the thematic and sonorous style of Xavier Dolan, the film is a good respite for French cinema. Wonderful!

I have not used this yet as I have not started my Christmas card. I already have ides for this beautiful background die.
I have already used this embossing die cut for a Christmas card, very elegant and just enough of an impression to add interest. Loved it.
Great company! I love their products! Dies are great quality!
the pattern on the backdrop was just beautiful. I had no problems, there was no little pieces to pry out of slots/holes because this is a stitched design. Simple & easy to use.
This die cuts well and leaves a nice impression. I wish that it was smaller to fit a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4” card front so I wouldn’t have to trim off the stitched detail.

Petrol has set up its first ultra-fast EV charging station
Kozina service station now boasts Petrol’s first ultra-fast EV charging station. Together with the fast charging station already at that service station, they form the first charging hub in the country. Petrol will set up three more ultra-fast EV charging stations in the first half of the year, two in Slovenia and one in Croatia.
Petrol's extensive international network of EV charging infrastructure is expanding intensively, this time with its first ultra-fast charging station that enables charging with a power of up to 350 kW. “Our first ultra-fast charging station represents an important step in the development of sustainable mobility at Petrol, in the country and in the region. By setting up ultra-fast charging stations, we enable our users to charge their electric vehicles in the least amount of time. This significantly improves user experience and strengthens our position as the most comprehensive provider of sustainable mobility in the region,” said Tadej Smogavec, PhD, the Head of Sustainable Mobility Development at Petrol.
The first fast and ultra-fast electric charging hub in Slovenia
In addition to the first ultra-fast charging station, the Kozina service station now also boasts a very special combination of a fast and ultra-fast electric charging station. This in practice means that four electric vehicles can simultaneously quickly charge their batteries; two using the fast charging station with a total power of up to 100 kW and two using the ultra-fast charging station with a total power of up to 350 kW.
Petrol’s first ultra-fast electric charging station at the service station in Kozina will be followed by three more this year, namely at the Maribor East and Tepanje West service stations in Slovenia and in Dugopolje near Split, where the ultra-fast charging station will be set up in front of the shopping centre.
Petrol’s network of charging stations is constantly expanding
“EV charging infrastructure represents one of the two main segments of Petrol’s sustainable and innovative business. By expanding Petrol’s network of charging stations, we follow the vision of becoming an integrated partner in energy transition, with an excellent user experience,” said Jože Bajuk, MSc, Member of the Management Board of Petrol. Petrol’s goal is to add 1,300 EV charging stations to its portfolio by 2025. This year, the company has already set up 10 new EV charging stations, including three fast and one ultra-fast charging stations.
Petrol in Slovenia currently provides charging and management services at 106 AC charging stations and 44 DC charging stations (of which 26 are DC SODO charging stations) as well as only management services at 25 AC charging stations. In Croatia, the company provides charging and management services at 4 AC and 9 DC charging stations and at one DC charging station in Montenegro.
The above-mentioned fast charging stations as well as the first ultra-fast charging station are being set up as part of the NEXT-E project. At the end of the project, which includes leading companies in the fields of electricity, oil, gas and equipment manufacturers, the network will consist of 222 fast (50 kW) and 30 ultra-fast charging stations (150-350 kW) in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia and Romania. By participating in this and similar strategic projects, Petrol helps to build an interoperable and non-discriminatory network of electric charging stations in the key TEN-T corridor in Central and Eastern Europe.

ABOUT one-third of Barnsley ‘s adult social care service users aged between 18 and 64 said they ‘don’t feel safe’, new data has revealed.
In data collected in an NHS survey, service users were asked how safe they feel both inside and outside the home – including fear of abuse, falling or other physical harm.
The recently-published data from NHS Digital revealed that 33 per cent of service users – aged between 18 and 64 – in Barnsley said they didn’t feel safe, while 23.6 per cent aged 65 and over said they felt unsafe.
The data observes different surveys taken across different aspects of care which is funded by local authorities.
Coun Jenny Platts, cabinet spokesperson for adults and communities, said: “Feelings of safety are personal to each individual and can be influenced by various personal circumstances.
“Across health, care and community services, we continue to do whatever we can to support people to feel safer.
“Our continuous work through Age Friendly Barnsley, delivery of a range of wellbeing events that take place across our communities, including the ‘Sloppy Slippers’ initiative, our work on falls prevention and the introduction of neighbourhood wardens are just a few actions we are taking to support people to feel safer.
“We encourage people to report any concerns that they might have so that they can be looked into and resolved.”
Care providers in the borough will be invited to help the council develop a Health and Social Care Academy that will improve staff recruitment and retention.
Wendy Lowder, executive director for adult social care and communities, added: “It’s so important to us that when people need care and support that they have access to the best that Barnsley can provide.
“We know there are real challenges trying to recruit to roles across the sector currently, and we want to work with provides to find ways to solve these problems.”

But luckily, it also means a ton of summer fun awaits throughout the parks and beyond. Things are changing pretty much every day in Disney World, and we’re constantly keeping an eye out for the latest news, events, and more. It can be hard to keep up, so here are some important dates and the biggest things happening in Disney World this July!
July 3rd and July 4th: Fourth of July Fireworks
Did you know that not one, but two Disney World parks have special fireworks shows on the Fourth of July? Over in Magic Kingdom, guests can enjoy Disney’s Celebrate America! — A Fourth of July Concert in the Sky at 9:20PM. Keep in mind that Magic Kingdom’s daily fireworks show, Enchantment, will be unavailable.
And over in EPCOT, it looks like Disney is cooking up something special for the fireworks show over there as well. Harmonious is still listed on the schedule, but in years past we’ve seen special holiday additions to these nighttime spectaculars.
July 5th: Festival of the Lion King Changes
Since Animal Kingdom slowly resumed normal operations, we saw several entertainment offerings return. A Celebration of Festival of the Lion King was Disney’s solution to providing entertainment while still working out some of the fine-tuning.
On July 5th, the show will close as Disney prepares to welcome the Festival of the Lion King back on July 16th! The show will reopen with the crowd favorite tumble. monkeys and acrobatic birds as well.
July 6th: Chip ‘n’ Dale Campfire Sing-A-Long Returns
Did you know that there’s a FREE character meet and greet in Disney World? Well, it hasn’t been around for a while, but now we are thrilled to see the Chip ‘n’ Dale Campfire Sing-A-Long return to Disney’s Fort Wilderness.
Guests can roast marshmallows, make s’mores, and sing along with Chip ‘n’ Dale! Then, you get to end the night with a Disney movie under the stars. Oh, and did we mention it’s FREE?! This meet and greet returns on July 6th.
July 11th: Top of the World Lounge Reopens
Disney Vacation Club Members get all sorts of perks in the parks and beyond, from discounts and limited-edition merchandise to exclusive lounges. And one such lounge is finally reopening — with a new look!
July 14th: Narcoossee’s Closes for Refurbishment
After it was originally scheduled to close for refurbishment on June 18th, Narcoossee’s at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa will be officially closing for renovations on July 14th.
This closure will last for quite some time — Disney shared that they “expect to return next year with an enhanced table service experience.” We’ll keep an eye out for an official reopening date, so stay tuned!
July 14th: EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival BEGINS
One of our favorite times of the year is coming up in July — the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival! Each year, Disney brings the flavor and fun to a whole slew of Global Marketplace Booths featuring cuisine from a wide range of cultures.
Did we mention the entertainment? Between the Eat to the Beat Concert Series, Remy’s scavenger hunt, and a cheese crawl (!!!) — there’s plenty to see, do, and eat at the 2022 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival.
July 17th: Star Wars Launch Bay Meet and Greets Return
When Disney World brought character meet and greets back, they were modified at first — and quite a few familiar faces were missing from the meet and greet lineup. But, now that traditional character interactions have returned, we’ve seen more and more of some of our favorite characters come back.
And beginning on July 17th, BB-8, Chewbacca, and yes — Darth Vader — will be interacting with guests once again at Star Wars Launch Bay in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Now you can hug Chewie, talk to BB-8, and meet Darth Vader if you dare!
July 26th: DVC Moonlight Magic at Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Remember those DVC perks we were talking about earlier? There’s ANOTHER one happening this July! Moonlight Magic is an after-hours event in the parks exclusively for DVC Members complete with character sightings, entertainment, and special treats.
Moonlight Magic will be taking place at Disney’s Animal Kingdom on July 26th! Registration is open online now for DVC Members with a Disney Resort hotel reservation on the event date and opens up to all DVC Members on July 13th.
July 28th: Victoria & Albert’s Reopens
Disney’s fanciest restaurant is finally reopening on July 28th! Victoria & Albert’s is a signature dining experience at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa that also comes with a signature price tag.
Guests can dine in the main dining room, Queen Victoria room, or at the Chef’s Table — an exclusive experience where you actually dine in the kitchen with the chefs. The restaurant will open with a reimagined menu and decor, and we can’t wait to check it out!
July 31st: Harmony Barber Shop Reopens in Magic Kingdom
Did you know that there’s an actual working barber shop in Magic Kingdom? Yep, you can get your hair cut here once again beginning on July 31st.
The Harmony Barber Shop has been a favorite for many parents looking to get their child’s hair cut for the very first time — the shop even has a special “My First Haircut” option. You can also get regular kids’ haircuts and adult cuts too! Reservations can be made in the My Disney Experience app, and walk-in appointments are accepted based on availability.

HOW TO CHOOSE A MICROSCOPE
There are two main types of microscopes: Optical microscopes and Electron microscopes. What should you choose then, an optical or an electron microscope? The main difference between these two types of microscopes lies in the way the sample to be observed is prepared and passed through. This is what determines the quality of the image (magnification, color, black and white).
OPTICAL MICROSCOPE -
The optical microscope also referred to as a light microscope, is a type of microscope that commonly uses visible light and a system of lenses to generate magnified images of small objects.
The object is placed on a stage and maybe directly viewed through one or two eyepieces on the microscope. In high-power microscopes, both eyepieces typically show the same image.
With an optical microscope, the preparation is placed on a glass slide and irradiated with light rays:
- The resolution is in the range of 200 nanometers.
- For example, it is possible to observe an entire cell.
- However, the magnification is rather limited, meaning that details smaller than 200 nanometers cannot be observed.
ELECTRON MICROSCOPE -
An electron microscope is a microscope that uses a beam of accelerated electrons as a source of illumination. As the wavelength of an electron can be up to 100,000 times shorter than that of visible light photons, electron microscopes have a higher resolving power than light microscopes and can reveal the structure of smaller objects.
With an electron microscope, an electron beam is passed through the prepared sample:
- The magnification is higher.
- However, the image is in black and white.
- Colors can be added digitally on the computer afterwards
What type of optical microscope should you choose?
There are several types of optical microscopes to choose from, depending on the sample you want to observe. First, you have to choose between upright and inverted microscopes.
- The light source is placed below the sample and the sample is observed from above.
- The upright microscope is used for observation and magnification of specimens on slides.
Finite type have focal length of 160mm.There are usually Achromat type of objectives is common used in education field. Semi plan and plan field option are available.
Infinite type have 180 mm focal length with the help of Telan lens. Fluorescence attachment can be used in such type of microscopes. The objectives are usually color free plan type for flat field of view so suitable for photography.
- The light source is placed above the sample and the objectives are below.
- The inverted microscope is used in the observation of cells in in vitro culture and makes it possible to inspect thick objects or objects located on the bottom of Petri dishes.
Microscopes are also available with different types of eyepieces.
- The sample is observed with only one eye.
- They are inexpensive.
- They are not suitable for prolonged observations.

BestColleges.com Releases List of Best Cities for Students Without a Car
HOUSTON, TX — BestColleges.com has recently released a list highlighting the best cities and towns for college students who do not own cars. Divided into four sections — large cities, mid-sized cities, smaller cities and college towns — each listed location was considered for its high quality of life and good learning environment. The cities are not ranked; the list is intended to show prospective students that owning a vehicle in college is not a prerequisite.
A few of the cities and towns from the list include:
New York, NY
San Jose, CA
State College, PA
Iowa City, IA
See the full list: http://www.bestcolleges.com/features/cities-for-students-without-cars/.
BestCollege.com’s research team reviewed the metropolitan areas, rather than individual school campuses, in order to provide a broader look at getting around the cities as a whole. Though BestColleges.com did not rank each city and town, the order within each section is based on the American Institute of Economic Research (AIER) rankings in its “Top 75 Cities and Towns in America” survey. With AIER’s results as a guide, their researchers used the following criteria to determine which cities and towns to include in the list:
- Public transit access
- Bike friendliness
Based on the findings, the BestColleges.com team was able to include 39 cities and towns. Each location received a score of at least 50 for one of the three above criteria. The walkability score indicates the ease with which pedestrians can traverse their locale. Public transit scores were earned based on how well buses or trains covered the cities and surrounding area, as well as how reliable they were. Bike friendliness scores indicate whether the city or town has designated bike lanes or a terrain conducive to cycling.
BestColleges.com is a resource to help prospective college students make educated choices about their future and get the most out of their education. Through the use of student surveys, faculty surveys, independent research, ranking systems and the input of highly credible and authoritative sources, the site has created a database of schools to help students and families learn more about their higher education options.

Fortis Green father needs to raise �40,000 for cancer treatment
When David Baldwin was diagnosed with cancer for the second time he knew he had to do everything in his power to get better.
The father, of Durham Road, Fortis Green, first battled the disease six years ago after developing breast cancer, which is rarely found in men.
After intense treatment he went into remission, but it re-emerged this year, spreading to his spine, lungs and chest.
The 53-year-old has been fighting it with a cocktail of strong drugs – but his hope now lies in travelling to Mexico for a radical treatment unavailable in most of the world.
He says a vitamin known as B17 – a compound found in apricot kernels – can ward off cancer but the treatment is outlawed in the UK.
You may also want to watch:
His determination to overcome the deadly illness, which doctors say is at an incurable stage, is more than matched by the army of supporters rallying behind David, who needs to raise �40,000 to send him across the Atlantic for three rounds of therapy.
“The support is like an unstoppable juggernaut, I’m just amazed,” said David, a headteacher who taught at St Anthony’s Junior School in Hampstead for ten years and is now working at a school in Ealing.
- 1 'Picture of health': Mum's tribute to son who died of sudden cardiac arrest
- 2 Police investigate reported rape of teenager
- 3 The Vagina Museum searches for new home as Camden Market leases end
- 4 Tennis coach 'distraught' at losing Belsize role amid club row
- 5 E-scooter rider arrested over suspected drug dealing
- 6 London Zoo's aviary unwrapped to create new monkey home
- 7 Clapped in the street - and assaulted: Staff call for behaviour change in A&E
- 8 Piers Plowright: 'An extraordinary force, devoted to Hampstead'
- 9 Watchdog upholds 27 complaints over 'systemic' failures by Haringey Council
- 10 Haverstock Hill cycle lanes given the green light
About �22,000 has already been raised through hundreds of donations via Mr Baldwin’s blog, which has 200 registered readers.
Donors range from close friends to past pupils.
“When my wife suggested that I write a blog, I thought, ‘Why would anyone be interested in what I’ve got to say?’,” said David. “But I’ve been overwhelmed with supportive comments and people complaining when I don’t update it!”
Events arranged by family and friends have brought the total to �27,000 – a remarkable feat for just four months of fundraising.
There is still some way to go to have enough funds to travel to Mexico in January – the earliest date that David will be well enough to fly.
Future fundraisers include a gig where David himself will perform with his band, The Random Patrols, on November 30, and a Christmas auction on December 9.
He has also designed Christmas cards which businesses in East Finchley and Muswell Hill have agreed to sell.
However, David has benefited from more than simply financial support.
“There’s all these people rooting for us and praying for us,” said his wife Nicola, 47.
“Suddenly, Mexico feels like a reality.”

The Economics of Internet of Things: An Information Market System
Keywords:IoT, information economics, game-theoretic model, IoT-based services
The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the leading forces in modern-day technology. The concept has been proposed to be a new way of interconnecting a multiplicity of devices and rendering services to a variety of applications. According to the industry’s insiders, IoT will make it possible to link transport, energy, smart cities, and healthcare together. The purpose of this paper is to understand the economics of the Internet of Things. It is meant to shed light on how world IoT applications can affect the information market. When every sector and industry of the world has been connected via this technology, what will become of the ICT niche? The information economic approach is currently being adopted and presented with its possible applications in IoT. Firstly, this paper reviews the kinds of economic models that have been designed for IoT services. Secondly, it focuses on the two major subject matters of information economics that are critical to IoT. While one considers the value of the information itself, the other addresses information with good pricing. Lastly, the paper proposes a game-theoretic model to examine the price competition of IoT-based services. We take a look at how these two sectors will fare against each, both at full capacity.

President Obama and his administration are fond of bragging that they believe themselves to be on the “right side of history.”
Strangely, what Obama seems to think the right side of history is and what actual history proves, are two very different things.
Time and again, in his quest to be on the right side of history, Obama has come down on the wrong side of human liberty and dignity.

This man is likely to get a long jail sentence for this alleged pedophile activity with boys and teens.
The case is similar to the case of Frank Houston, the founder of Hillsong, who was guilty of child sex crimes from at least 1960, possibly as early as the 1930s, until his death in 2004.
Frank Houston was a Salvation Army captain in the 1940s and got kicked out of the Salvation Army, probably for child sex offences.
The difference between the cases is that while Brian Houston, the current head pastor of Hillsong, hid and sheltered his pedophile father William Francis “Frank” Houston from the NSW Police for five years from when he confessed in 1999, until his death November 2004, William Edward Steele is going before the Courts.
The likely sentence for Mr Steele is 7 to 12 years jail.
If Frank Houston has been handed over to the NSW police by his son Brian Houston, he would have died in jail.

Former Salvation Army church member faces trial accused of child sex offences
18 April 2017
“A former Salvation Army church member on trial for alleged child sex offences dating back more than 50 years hid an underlying sexual desire towards boys, a Perth court has been told.
William Edwin Steele, 73, is accused of indecently assaulting five boys aged between 11 and 18 over a period of 26 years, between 1963 and 1989.
The offences are alleged to have happened at various places in Perth, including the back of the Salvation Army church in Subiaco and a fruit and vegetable market where he worked as the general manager.
Steele, who has a wife and four children, is alleged to have committed the first offence a year before he got married.
In his opening statement, prosecutor Craig Astill told the jury Steele hid an underlying sexual desire towards teenage boys.
Mr Astill said although some of the alleged victims were at the age of consent, “none of the conduct was consensual or sought after”.
However, defence lawyer Tom Percy said his client was still “happily married” and emphatically denied any of the offences occurred.
He told the jury the fact that none of the alleged victims made a complaint at the time “casts enormous doubt” over the allegations, and said they could not be proven by the prosecution due to a lack of evidence.
“All these allegations have the hallmarks of extreme improbability,” Mr Percy said.
“There is no objective proof and no eyewitnesses.”
All five alleged victims are due to give evidence.
The trial is set down for two weeks.”

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
The question is more relevant now than ever before: what makes someone a moral person?
Child psychiatrist and Harvard professor Robert Coles has dedicated much of his life to exemplifying, teaching, and writing about the moral life. Here, Coles illuminates the ways in which children become moral or not so moral adults, drawing on case studies, talks with parents, visits to nurseries and classrooms, and interviews with children. No subject could be more important and more timely—for all Americans, but especially for parents. In the tradition of such bestsellers as Cultural Literacy and Emotional Intelligence, The Moral Intelligence of Children identifies a new type of intelligence essential for success and fulfillment in life. It will be used by parents and teachers for years to come as the authoritative guide to children's moral development.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Despite our society's astounding success in securing material comfort and security, the moral crisis of modernity continues to be a thorn in our sides. Why is it that our superior educational system doesn't churn out superior moral adults? Robert Coles takes up where Daniel Goleman left off in his groundbreaking Emotional Intelligence and shows us how children learn moral behavior and how we can better teach them. Instead of theoretical essays filled with statistics and dry case studies, Coles's style of addressing the reader through the use of anecdotes and ruminations makes for a comfortable, engaging read.From the Inside Flap:
Prize-winning author of the bestselling The Spiritual Life of Children now explores how to develop character in children, from infancy through the teenage years. During three stages in the "moral archaeology of childhood, " Coles shows how to spot moral crossroads, and what to do about them.

Book Description Pearson Education Limited, United Kingdom, 1998. Paperback. Condition: New. Language: English. Brand new Book. Robert Coles, one of America's leading authorities on young people, explores in this book a question crucial for many people today: How can you raise a child to be a good person whose moral character and strong values will steer and sustain him through life? This book distinguishes how moral intelligence is different from - but as important to success as - other kinds of human development, as significant as emotional or psychological growth, as IQ or intellectual development. Coles shows how children can be taught to become "smart" in this inner spiritual realm - to learn empathy, respect for themselves and others, and how to live the Golden Rule - through witnessing the conduct and caring of others and through moral conversations. Coles then embarks on an exploration of how values are born and shaped moment by moment, over what he calls "the moral archaeology of childhood." In infancy, Coles explains, there is a moral life that precedes language, and he considers the character of an infant, discussing such topics as Anna Freud's Yes and No, "the spoiled child, " and how to stop a baby from becoming a bully. The elementary school years are the Age of Conscience, when a child's character is built and consolidated - or fails to be - and Coles explores such problems as the schoolgirl caught cheating and the smart boy who distracts others so as to detract from their success. Combining anecdotes with instruction, Coles goes on to discuss what to do during the teenage years - how to cope with alcohol, drugs, sex, and other moral dilemmas.

Montego Bay United Football Club (MBUFC), Reggae Youths and Melbourne FC all booked their place in the third round of the St James FA Captain's Bakery and Grill Knockout after respective wins on the weekend.
Donovan Carey's 29th-minute strike enabled MBUFC's U-21 team to secure victory over Seaview after Akeem McCarthy fired them into a 16th-minute lead. But the game was one of missed chances as both teams struggled to wrest control of the match, before McCarthy turned in his first real chance.
Seaview grabbed a late consolation goal when Daina Heaven netted in the 90th minute.
Reggae Youths, on the back of two first-half goals, one from Michael McLeod from the penalty spot in the ninth and the other from Ocarey Spence in the 17th minute, eased past Revelation 2-1, with Conroy Clarke netting Revelation's goal in the 59th minute.
Elsewhere, Melbourne had to settle their clash with Little Miami through penalty kicks (3-2), when they played to a 1-1 draw after regulation and extra time.

Title: Violet Wings
Author: Victoria Hanley
Reading level: Young Adult
Hardcover: 368 pages
Publisher: EgmontUSA (August 25, 2009)
Rating: 3 out of 5
I love reading about fairies and the synopsis of Violet Wings sounded really good. Not to mention I love the cover too. But I have to say I was disappointed.
The main problem I have with Violet Wings starts right from the first chapter. When I think about fairies, I think magical. I visualize a world that is very different from the world we live in. It has to be non-mechanical to say the least. But the world in this book is far from that. All fairies are assigned a specific number of radia (magical units) and they are allowed to spend only a limited number in their lifetime. The place where these fairies and our girl, Zaria, lives is called Tirfeyne. Another problem is that Tirfeyne is made of huge buildings made of rubies and gems and diamonds. That itself had me loose interest.
Zaria is 14 year old fairy whose parents and brother go missing when she was is very young. A family friend is taking care of her. She wants to know what happened to them but there is no way of knowing. When she turns 14, she and her class are given their wands and their watches. The watches tell how much radia has been assigned to each fairy or genie. Zaria has one of the highest colors-violet.
After that its about her adventures as a fairy and her quest to find out what happened to her family. I had another problem with the book, it was too technical at times. There is a paragraph from the book ‘Genie Historian of Feyland’ at the start of every chapter which helps in understanding the rules of Feyland without disrupting the main story, which I think is a brilliant idea but sometimes it went over board.Take for e.g
Each color in a crystal watch contains ten degrees and represents more radia than the preceding color by a factor of ten.
That said, the story had a lot of potential, the writing was smooth flowing. Although I would not wholeheartedly recommend this book I would say it’s a descent read. And someone who does not have the same problems as I do with this book might even love it. Strictly for Young Adult lovers.
I scratched my head when I read the quote you included in the review. LOL! I’m not sure I’d read this but that’s because I’m not in the mood for YA fairy books at the moment. Thanks for the review, Violet!
Might give this book a try sometime but 10 degree and factor 10 🙂 Definitely went overboard.
Violet I don’t think this one is for me. I do not want to read about a fairy world that is different from my perception, seriously 🙂
But thanks for a great review.
I have to admit the premise doesn’t sound very interesting to me; and as you said it sounds technical. I think I’ll let this pass. Thanks for your honest review, Violet!
It sounded like the perfect book for you – too bad it didn’t live up to it.
definitely have to try YA fantasy sometime.. long overdue.. love the cover of this book !so vivid !
I hate it when fairies aren’t magical, too. I read a book once where they used the internet to do everything and it was sooooo lame.
Sorry it didn’t live up to what you expected. :S I really do want to get into fairy stories but don’t really know where to start- there seems to be so much choice out there these days. 😛
Violet Wings for the Violet Crush 🙂
i liked the book it was hard to read at first but later in the book i got how it was but i liked it
This book was amazing best book besides hunger games so far
