they ought to retire from all the luscious baits of temptation, and deny their appetites the gratifications that are most pleasing to them; or, at least, to signify that we onght to stint ourselves in our most lawful satisfactions, and not make our pleasure, but our support, the end of eating. But most certainly, if such a lesson of temperance had been necessary at a table, our clergy would have recommended it to all the lay-masters of families, and not have disturbed other men's tables with such unseasonable examples of abstinence.
The original, therefore, of this barbarous custom, I take to have been merely accidental. The chaplain retired, out of pure complaisance, to make room for the removal of the dishes, or possibly for the ranging of the de. sert. This by degrees grew into a duty, until at length, as the fashion improved, the good man found himself cut off from the third part of the entertainment; and, if the arrogance of the patron goes on, it is not impossible but, in the next generation, he may see himself reduced to the tythe, or tenth dish of the table; a sufficient caution not to part with any privilege we are once possessed of. It was usual for the priest in old times to feast upon the sacrifice, nay the honey-cake, while the hungry laity looked upon him with great devotion; or, as the late lord Rochester describes it, in a very lively nianner,
And while the priest did eat, the people star'). At present the custom is inverted; the laity feast, while the priest stands by as an hunible spectator. This necessarily puts a good man upon making great ravages on all the dishes that stand near him; and distinguishing himself by voraciousness of appetite, as knowing that his time is short. I would fain ask these stiff-necked patrons, whether they would not take it ill of a chaplain, that in his grace after meat should return thanks for the whole entertainment with an exception to the desert? And yet I cannot but think that, in such a proceeding, he would but deal with them as they deserved. What would a Roman catholic priest think, who is always helped first, and placed next the ladies, should he see a clergyman giving his company the slip at the first appearance of the tarts or sweet-meats? Would not he believe that he had the same antipathy to a candied orange, or a piece of puff-paste, as some have to a Cheshire cheese, or a breast of mutton? Yet, to so ridiculous a height is this foolish custom grown, that even the Christmas pye, which in its very nature is a kind of consecrated cake, and a badge of distinction, is often forbidden to the Druid of the family. Strange! that a surloin of beef, whether boiled or roasted, when entire, is exposed to his utmost depredations and incisions; but, it' minced into small pieces, and tossed up with plums and sugar, changes its property, and, torsooth, is meat for his master.
In this case I know not which to censure, the patron, or the chaplain, the insolence of power, or the abjectness of dependence. For my own part, I have often blushed to see a gentleman, whom I knew to have much more wit and learning than myself, and who was bred up with me at the university upon the same foot of a liberal education, treated in such an ignominious manner, and sunk beneath those of his own rank, by reason of that character which ought to bring him honour. This deters men of generous minds from placing themselves in such a station of life, and by that means frequently excludes persons of quality from the improving and agrecable conversation of a learned and obsequious friend.
Mr. Oldham* lets us know, that he was affrighted from the thought of such an employment, by the scandalous sort of treatment which often ac. companies it :
Some think themselves exalted to the sky,
I rate my freedom higher. This author's raillery is the raillery of a friend, and does not turn the sacred order into ridicule; but is a just censure on such persons as take advantage, from the necessities of a man of merit, to impose on him hardships that are by no means suitable to the dignity of his profession.

Nostrum est tantas componere lites.
VIRG. Ecl. iii. 108.
'Tis ours such warm contentions to decide.
The Proceedings of the Court of Honour, held in
Sheer-lane on Monday the twentieth of November, 1710, before Isaac BickersTAFF, Esquire, Cen
sor of Great-Britain. Peter PLUMB, of London, merchant, was indicted by the honourable Mr. Thomas Gules, of Gule-hall in the country of Salop, for that the said Peter Plumb did, in Lombard-street, London, between the hours of two and three in the afternoon, meet the said Mr. Thomas Gules, and, after a short salutation, put on his hat, value five-pence, while the ho. nourable Mr. Gules stood bare-headed for the space of two seconds. It was further urged against the criminal, that, during his discourse with the
prosecutor, he teloniously stole the wall of him, having clapped his back against it in such a manner, that it was impossible for Mr. Gules to recover it again at his taking leave of him. The prosecutor alleged, that he was the cadet of a very ancient family; and that, according to the principles of all the younger brothers of the said family, he had never sullied himself with business, but had chosen rather to starve, like a man of honour, than do any thing beneath his quality. He produced several witnesses, that he had never employed himself beyond the twisting of a whip, or the making of a pair of nut-crackers, in which be only worked for his diversion, in order to make a present now and then to his friends. The prisoner being asked, “what he could say for himself," cast several reflections upon the honourable Mr. Gules; as, "that he was not worth a groat; that nobody in the city would trust bim for a halfpenny; that he owed him money, which he had promised to pay him e:cral times, but never kript his word; and, in short, that he was an idle ben Warly fellow, and of no use to the public." This sort of language was very severely reprimanded by the Censor, who told the criminal, “that he spoke in contempt of the court, and that he should be proceeded against for contumacy, if he did not change his style. The prisoner, therefore, desired to be beard by his counsel, who urged in his defence, " that he put on bis hat through ignorance, and took the wall by accident." They likewise produced several witnesses, that he made several motions with his hat in his hand, which are generally understood as an invitation to the person we talk with to be covered; and that, the gentleman pot taking the hint, be was forced to put on his hat, as being troubled with a cold. There was likewise an Irishman, who doposed, “ that he had hcard himn cough three-andtu enty times that morning." And as for the wall, it was alledged, that he had taken it inadvertently, to save himself from a shower of rain which was the falling. The Censor, having consulted the men ot bonour who sat at his right-hand on the bench, found they were all of opinion, that the detence made by the prisoner’s counsel did rather aggravate than extenuate bis crime; that the motions and intimations of the bat were a token of superiority in

For the decade 2002-2011 a total of €1.38bn was spent on sport in Ireland by the Department of "Sport". Currently, sport is included in the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport and it was previously under the Department of Arts, Sports and Tourism. It is this expenditure that we classify here as Exchequer expenditure on sport (it is known as Voted expenditure). It does not include funding via other government departments or via Local Authorities.
Table 1 presents the Exchequer expenditure on sport and its decomposition for the period 2002-11. The amount is €1.38bn excluding the Horse and Greyhound Racing Fund (HGRF) and it rises to €2.05bn. It is debatable whether HGRF should be included. Even the government seems to be unsure about the correct classification of the HGRF. For almost half the decade 2002-11 public expenditure on the HGRF was included in the sports vote where as in the other years it was included in the Department of Agriculture vote. While what follows will exclude HGRF as sports expenditure it is worth briefly comparing the expenditure on the HGRF and that given the Irish Sports Council (ISC). Table 1 shows that current expenditure on HGRF was bigger than that for the ISC.
The annual amount given to sport varied over the decade. The variation tended to be driven by once-off capital projects like the redevelopment of Lansdowne Road and the boom-bust cycle of recent patterns of expenditure by Irish governments. The increase and decrease in time profile of the expenditure in Table 1 are presented in Figure 1. For ease of comparison, the amounts are normalised to 100 for the first year of the decade under consideration.
The relative constants in Figure 2 are the Irish Sports Council, Grants to Sporting Bodies, and Grants for Swimming Pools. The patterns in Figure 2 suggest that the Irish Sports Council is getting an increasing share of the sports allocation particularly since 2009. This is correct. However, it should be remembered that its share is increasing as the overall expenditure on sport is declining. In fact, the ISC share of sports expenditure since 2009 is increasing while the actual amount given to the ISC is declining. In 2009 the ISC received €51.7 and this declined to €44.5m in 2011.

It's been just about two months since cricketer Hardik Pandya and partner Nataša Stanković revealed that they are expecting their first child together, and today, the couple have announced the birth of their baby boy on social media. The news first broke on Pandya's Instagram page, who shared a sweet snapshot that showed him holding his baby's hand, with the caption, "We are blessed with our baby boy ❤🙏🏾". From fellow cricketers like Chris Lynn, Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul, to actors Sonal Chauhan, Athiya Shetty and Sophie Choudry, friends from all over the world have already begun to flood the post with congratulatory messages.
The big news may have come as a pleasant surprise to many, but followers of the couple got a spoiler close to 23 hours ago, when Pandya shared a picture of himself and Stanković smiling for the camera in their car, presumably on their way to the hospital. Stanković also shared the post on her Instagram stories with a 'coming soon' sticker.

Wainwright struck out Daniel Nava to begin the top of the seventh inning, but then allowed a single to Xander Bogaerts and a walk to Stephen Drew. This set up a ground-rule double to left from David Ross which put the Red Sox in front. Instead of going for the kill, John Farrell then elected to have Lester for for himself. He was retired on a comebacker. However, Wainwright failed to escape the jam, as Jacoby Ellsbury followed with a single to center field to drive home Drew. Ross also attempted to score on the play, but he was thrown out by Shane Robinson, though replays indicate that Yadier Molina may have missed the tag.
It’s stretch time in St. Louis, with the Red Sox holding a 3-1 advantage. Lester remains in the ballgame for Boston.

First, The Story
A joint release between CaDaoCao Productions & PorkBoNes Records, this is one for the history books.
The year was 1995. I was sitting in the back of a classroom in the Southwest Texas State University Music Building. The class was Music Theory I and it was the first class of my first semester. I was a good three or four years older than pretty much everyone in the class and was already feeling out of place. Well... maybe not as much as the guy who had just walked in, barefooted, carrying a briefcase, and wearing a three-piece suit from the local thrift store. Anyhow, as I sat there waiting for class to start, I began to accept the notion that it appeared I had but two paths to a music theory friend or ally. The first one would require me to willingly embrace nicknames like Pops, Mr. Crawford, or just The Old Guy. On the other hand, I could always try leaving my shoes and socks at home. Given the amount of time and money I’d spent over the years amassing a collection of Dr. Martens, I started practicing my pending introductions. “Hello, my name is Clark, but everyone calls me Codger.” As I did, in walked a guy my age, wearing a Crump Plumbing baseball cap and sat down next to me. His name was Brent Fariss.
A few months later, we were hanging out at my apartment when, out of nowhere, he sort of casually remarked, “Man... I can’t wait until Halloween 1999... it’s gonna be insane!” After what most would describe as an awkward silence, I took the bait and replied, “Really... Why?” With complete sincerity, he said, “Because that's when my gangsta rap album, Bigga Than Deth, hits the streets.” It was at that very moment I knew we would be friends for life. I had no idea at the time, but that exchange caused a spark... that ignited a flame... that generated a concept album which was realized with perfectionist tendencies and left at least one death in its wake… but I’m getting ahead of myself.
Halloween 1999 came and went and the album never materialized. Then, sometime in the spring of 2000, mr. Harten’s people contacted angel reyezzz’s people and offered production services to help get the Bigga Than Deth project off the ground. For the scant few readers who are not already aware, mr. Harten was my electronic music pseudonym and angel reyezzz was one of Brent’s multiple personalities, a 13 year-old girl who appeared whenever the situation called for something incredibly inappropriate. Anyhow, angel agreed and the two started work on the project the following week at The Harten Center for Underprivileged Sounds. For the most part, all of the programming (synths and drums) was handled by mr. Harten and all of the live instruments were handled by reyezzz. Several months later... Bigga was done.
Clocking in at just over 36 minutes, and with most of the tracks transitioning seamlessly into one another, the album is meant to be experienced as a complete work.
The opening track, “Overture,” was crafted to meet the dramatic intro requirement of every good gangsta rap album. Since virtually all rap videos at the time featured helicopters, we used Karlheinz Stockhausen's "Helicopter String Quartet" as the foundation of this track. As the turbines power up, a simple loop extracted from a recording of Modest Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition" enters and builds before being absorbed by a wall of distortion and cutting out into...
“Apropapo,” was based on a word Brent made up... a verbal mashup of "props" and "proper." He had a tendency to repeat it over and over again which would annoy his now ex-wife and this obnoxious repetition became the basis of the track. While most of the tracks were worked out before we started recording them, this one was largely realized in the studio as we bounced ideas off one another. The breakdown that occurs in the middle section was constructed by layering elements of a field recording we made during a quick trip to the grocery store one evening while taking a break from recording. The melody that enters when everything kicks back in was borrowed from the last track on the album, "Pop Song (Coda)" and was one of several recurring melodic lines woven throughout the album. In many ways, "Apropapo" was simply an extension of the intro to the album.
The title track, ”Bigga Than Deth,” featured the mad MC skillz of both Harten and reyezzz. Possibly influenced by Cyclob's "Rewind," Brent was keen on the idea of using a vocoder on our voices to make them sound robotic. The majority of the lyrics for this track were assembled using a version of William Burroughs' cut-up technique where we took snippets of lines from various works by Geto Boys, Ice-T, LL Cool J, NWA, etc. and stitched them together.
Listen up... you're doomed you punk little bitch
God damn... man, my balls be itchin'
To fuck you up beyond belief
And when I raise my 9 there's no relief
As a swarm of pain consumes your ass
You will swear you were crushed by Mama Cass
But know that this weight comin' down ain't fat
It's the fury and the sting from my Tec-9 gat
I'm a killer, and a thug, and a playa too
You better step down bitch lest I fuck with you
Keep messin' with me and soon you'll find
Stupid punk can't fuck with a mastermind
And even if you catch me off my guard
When you hit me bitch, you better hit real hard
Don't think I'm gone with my dyin' breath
You better watch your ass 'cause I'm Bigga Than Deth
Don't call it a comeback... I've been here for years
Rockin' it steady risin' above my peers
The first time that you step out of line
My finger's already attached to my 9
Yeah, I know you're a skeptic
But I ain't kissin' no God damn ass to be accepted
And if you're waitin' on that to happen, sucka
You'll be a waitin' mutha fucka
Listen fool, I'm not a playin'
Don't try to front... go against my grain
Bigga Than Deth that's the truth I'm layin'
I'll throw more than your momma from train
Come at me... you'll be layin' in a blood pool
I'm Supreme you know you'll lose
Because Diana Ross be comin' out your ass, fool...
And have you singin' the blues
The repetitive arpeggios in the chorus were a nod to one of our favorite composers at the time, Philip Glass and something Brent had worked out on his dad's Roland Juno-60 before the sessions even began. The psuedo turntable scratching was courtesy of my Korg MS20 which had great filters for such a thing. Also worth noting... this track featured the first of several instances of Anne Ramsey yelling, "Owen!" sampled from Throw Momma from the Train.
“Fuck Tha Millennium” was reyezzz’s way of letting the world know that she didn’t give a shit about anything, not even the millennium. The line, "The millennium never beat Geronimo Aguirre in a race" was a reference to Brent besting the fastest kid in grade school... proof positive that he was better than the millennium, hands down! This line was performed by Owen, the robot persona we created for handling all vocoded vocals. We had agreed to let our friend, Afshar, bust a rhyme entitled “Y2Gay” during the middle section of this track. However, after half a dozen attempts at getting him to come over and track it, all we got were excuses. reyezzz finally got fed up and wrote a little rap busting Afshar’s balls and threatening his life. For me, this is the highlight of the album as it's where the comedy and the the earnest production completely come together. The "Go Aftron, Go Aftron, Go" chant referenced the first time my brother, Grant, met Afshar. We were at a party and it was pretty loud. When he introduced himself... Grant thought he said his name was Aftron. After recording this section, we drove by Afshar’s house and gunned him down in his front yard. The track eventually dissolves into a house party that hopefully contains something to offend anyone and everyone. Some of the highlights are Bill's bottomless pit of crazy sex stories from his days working at Trudy's, the announcement that Afshar got shot, the drunk idiot who keeps making loud entrances, Brent's flubbed attempt at being a dope MC, Owen dropping by, and the guy repeatedly slapping his ass.
“Smoove Soul 2000” was a mr. Harten remix of Brent’s “Smooth Soul Singer” track which he wrote for his now ex-wife. The original was a pisstake on the super schmaltzy R&B ballad. I took the Rhodes line from the original and added a heaping helping of the Amen Break and some R2D2 freestyling courtesy of my Korg MS20. The original plan for this track was that it would serve as a break in the album and then we'd return to more of the gangsta rap stuff. However, that was not to be. Instead, we chose to take a dive into complete eclecticism and we never came back up for air.
The decision to include a seriously unusual cover of the Pixies’ “Debaser” (which was conceived entirely by reyezzz) was critical to how the album ended up getting fleshed out and sequenced as this was the exact point where any preconceived notions we had going into the project got tossed out. It became less about making actual gansta rap tracks and more about the "fuck all" attitude present in so many of those albums. The cover was constructed using a bass sample from a Christian Fennesz recording, a glass bottle preset from Brent's Alesis Quadrasynth, and a handful of samples from the original track all bathed in amplitude modulation. Other than adding the disco whoop whoops and the Owen vocals, everything in this track was handled by Brent.
“Prison Rulezzz” referred to the art of “anything goes” fighting and something Brent would do any time he felt like threatening me. He'd take his keys out of his pocket, jingle them at me, and then make some remark about handling things with "prison rules." The implication being that I was gonna get stabbed with his keys. Anyhow, one afternoon, several years before we started working on Bigga Than Deth, I made a short distorted acid house loop with Propellerhead's Rebirth, saved it out as a wave file on a 3.5" floppy, wrote "For Brent" on the label, and then left it on his doorstep. The loop turned up during the Bigga sessions and ended up being the backbone of this track, first as it originally was, then pitched down an octave for a dark ambient dub feel. The "We're gonna fuck you up!" that kicks off the track and resurfaces throughout was indicative of the type of message Brent would frequently leave on his friend, John Ertel's, answering machine in retaliation for several crank calls Ertel had done. Also, Brent's keys can be heard jingling at several points during the track.
It's also worth mentioning that "Prison Rulezzz" ended up being the central track on Hardcore America, the Bigga That Death remix project. When tracks were given out for that project, Brent instantly called dibs on remixing “Prison Rulezzz,” which was one of the shorter tracks on the album. The long and evovling remix brought together 4 of his constant, yet disparate, obsessions: abstract electronic music, over-the-top redneck truck commercials, dub basslines, and earnest pop songs (à la Journey). The final result is a crazy work, which starts off really weird then ends up going in tons of different directions. Also worth noting is the pure delight that came from finding a sample of a woman singing what sounds like “old school” in a Luigi Nono opera. This sample is heard throughout the dub sections of the remix. As awesome a find as that was, the true highlight comes at the end of the remix, when all the elements are combined and the “We’re gonna fuck you up...” part is mixed with both the “Hardcore America” mock truck commercial and the dub elements to create something of a pop masterpiece. Jason Russell, an old friend of ours, who just happens to be a great singer and drummer, was enlisted to sing the soulful parts of this remix, as well as help with the “La La La Las” heard near the end. The hope is that by the 9:25 mark of this remix, the listener has a moment of “How the fuck did we get here?!?!” And it all came from an inside joke in the form of a tiny loop on a 3.5” floppy disk. This, and all the remixes, can be heard near the end of this page.
“Bigga Than Deth (Reprise)” was supposed to be nothing more than a death metal version of “Bigga Than Deth” and while we weren't sure how we'd get there, it was something that was planned from the very beginning of the project. Brent played me Morbid Angel's Covenant album for a reference of how he wanted the production to sound and we started laying down the tracks. Things got interesting when Paul Thomas Anderson's Magnolia came out and Brent realized Supertramp's "Goodbye Stranger" would fit over the "Bigga Than Deth" progression. After many hours in sonic surgery, we ended up with what is almost certainly the only mix of death metal and Supertramp in existence. Oddly, the two work really well together. The eerie voices are from a French free jazz CD Brent had acquired during the sessions and we snuck a few more "Owen!" samples into the mix for good measure.
The closing track, “Pop Song (Coda),” was not only a love song, but more importantly, an apology to Brent’s now ex-wife for the entire album. It was always known that the album would end this way. In fact, in many ways the entire album was a build up to the apology. The noise and distortion that fill the space between “Bigga Than Deth (Reprise)” and this track were taken from John Zorn's Mystic Fugu Orchestra and the strings in the beginning section were sampled from Kronos Quartet Performs Alfred Schnittke. As mentioned earlier, the vocal melody for "Pop Song (Coda)" was hinted at in the final section of "Apropapo." In the end, the simple beauty of the vocal gets swallowed by a wall of feedback and digital glitches before cutting to a loop sampled from "Let's Go Away For A While" off The Beach Boys Pet Sounds album.
Brent here… The Hardcore America remix album was a great way to expand this project to our close friends, Bill Thompson, Nathan Wood, Afshar Kharat, and Steve Hall. All did a great job in remixing their tracks… from the drone/noise assaults from Afshar and Steve covering both “Bigga than Deth” and "Bigga Than Deth (Reprise)," to Nathan’s wacky cut-up style deconstructing of “Fuck tha Millennium,” to Bill’s use of abstraction and meta referencing about the creation of his remix which created a moving ending to the whole disc. It's funny to me that Clark and I ended up being responsible for the more poppy tracks on the album, though in totally different ways. The bass counterpoint Clark used on Apropapo is wonderful and fits perfectly with the drum programming and vocals. My remix, “Prison Rulezzz (Hardcore America Old School Dub),” was discussed earlier (see “Prison Rulezzz”). Hardcore America also marked the end of the collaboration between angel reyezzz and mr. Harten. This was made clear on the intro of the album. A hilarious parody of creative conflict with disastrous results. I had a great time creating this skit with Clark and Bill. With Bill’s totally legit English accent (possibly a sign of things to come since he moved to the UK a few years later), and the great sound design done by Clark to create a totally realistic environment... Harten was laid to rest and the angel reyezzz alias disappeared without a trace (though she occasionally popped up in pranks/threats usually done on via email). angel finally returned almost 10 years later to form Waco Girls, a conceptual noise group / Flipper tribute band featuring reyezzz with new collaborators Nikki Henley and Alexxxis Konner, the only two people in the world that would tolerate her temper and shenanigans.
But what I find most interesting is how this remix project launched a different way of thinking for Clark, Bill, and me, as musicians. The listening party for Hardcore America happened on Halloween 2000 at my house. At the party, both Brent and Bill Thompson did sound installations in unused rooms of the house. Everyone was really excited by the idea of having music performed in houses in an intense listening environment. Because of this, we soon decided this was a great way to present our music, and music we loved, rather than have them performed in clubs. Shortly after the release of Hardcore America, Clark, Bill and I formed ThomFariCraw: A Modern Music Initiative and began booking The Loft Series concerts, which took place in the central Austin loft Bill lived in at the time. The Loft Series always featured two live performances, as well as a sound installation that was played before and after the performances. Through this series we met several friends and collaborators and it changed the way all three of us did music from this point forward.

SAE-A Officially Launches Industry Working Group
A Program to Stop the Automotive Engineering Skills Drain In Australia
2015 July - VTE Issue 6
by: Peiman Rajaiee - Manager, IPWG
On the 28th April 2015, the Industry Programs Working Group, established to help automotive engineers find work in other Australian industries, was launched by SAE-A and the Victorian Department of Education and Training.
The closure of automotive manufacturing and some engineering design centers in Australia is expected to result in a massive skills drain over the next two to three years as many of the 1,700 Victorian based engineering professionals set to lose their jobs seek work overseas with international Automotive companies.
“SAE-A has a comprehensive plan to raise the awareness of Australian Industry sectors about the capabilities of automotive industry professionals through cross industry mapping of transferable skills, and decoding industry related jargon” said Natalie Roberts, Executive Director, SAE-A.
Professional engineers hold qualifications that are internationally recognized, and their skills are extremely transferable. This has seen many pursue job opportunities offshore. To stem the flow SAE-A will work with a number of Australian industry sectors that are struggling to find suitably experienced engineers, and inform them of the valuable skills and capabilities becoming available on the employment marketplace.
“Although it may be regarded as a program to help automotive engineers transitioning to their new career stage, IPWG is in fact about helping Australian industry as a whole by preventing the loss of one of our most valuable national asset’s – the knowledge & skills of our workforce – to other countries”, Peiman Rajaiee, Program Manager, commented at the SAE-A AGM meeting in May.
IPWG is working closely with Victorian Government Departments, and engaging with key stakeholders in multiple industries, to increase the understanding of the skills, training, and experience that automotive engineering staff can bring to potential new employers.
The IPWG is currently researching eight key industry sectors; mapping the skill sets required by each sector, highlighting the similarities in skills to an automotive engineer. These sectors are as follows:
Sector 0: Automotive
Sector 1: Health
Sector 2: Construction
Sector 3: Manufacturing and Agriculture
Sector 4: Oil, Gas, Energy
Sector 5: Mining and Metals
Sector 6: Defence and Space
Sector 7: Electricity, Gas, Water & Waste Services
Sector 8: Education & Training
The IPWG program is for all automotive professionals – not just SAE-A members.

Industry survey coming soon.


Department of Soil Ecology
What is the connection between soil organisms and important soil functions such as carbon storage, nutrient conversion and plant productivity? Do land use and climate change have an impact on these relationships and, if so, how? How high is the diversity of soil organisms? Does this diversity influence the diversity of plants and animals? Is it possible to use soil ecological processes to reduce the input of fertilisers and agrochemicals by improving yields and reducing the rate of climate change?
It is the aim of the Department of Soil Ecology to find answers to these and many other questions. We are constantly losing soil resources through sealing, erosion and other types of degradation. Intensive management practices in agriculture and forestry are contributing to an increase in greenhouse gas concentration in the atmosphere and to the contamination of groundwater and water bodies. We must improve our understanding of ecological soil processes so that we can protect our soil resources and use them sustainably and more effectively to feed our growing world population.
This poses a major scientific challenge because soils are extremely complex. They harbour a very large proportion of world biodiversity, most of which is still unknown. These organisms do not work in isolation but are integrated in complex interaction networks. In addition, despite soils are highly heterogeneous and structured in microcompartments, they also display emergent properties with effects on a regional or even a global scale.
In this context, research in soil ecology must merge expertise in chemical analysis, microbiology, physiology and, increasingly, molecular biology. It combines and integrates laboratory experiments on model systems comprising only a few organisms with less controlled experiments in greenhouses and in the field and finally with analysis series along gradients between regions. Soil ecologists produce huge quantities of data which can only be analysed with high-performance computers.
Our goal is to protect soils and to find ways to restore the biological self-regulation of soils and increase their efficiency at the same time.

It is important to think about the following, when looking for a new mattress….
Comfort and Support
Comfort and support are the two largest variables to consider, when you are wanting to buy a new mattress.
If you lie back on a mattress, it ought to correctly support your entire body, sinking and adhering around your shape at the perfect locations to ensure your spine stays calibrated while you sleep with the night. Suitable functioning from head to toe is essential to get balanced and healthy rest and to reduce neck and back pain. A mattress should provide you with stress relief, while at the exact same time being supportive throughout your body.
Stress points are exactly what causes one to move around through the night out, while you’re trying to sleep.
Ever since memory foam does such a great job of being supportive and comfy, they’ve became really popular recently.
Stiff or Soft?
That is along the same lines, as when we speak about comfort and support. Youtube Advert For Purple Mattress Protection
It is essential that a mattress is never too difficult, or too soft.
A mattress should be neutral as it can be, to ensure both your body and spine stay in a neutral place.
Too much rigidity in a mattress will irritate the strain variables, producing pinched nerves, along with the blood to stop flowing.
If you wake up often with the feeling of pins and needles, then most likely your mattress is too inflexible.
When the contrary occurs, with a mattress that is also tender, you will get a concaving”hammock” effect, which will surely produce back pain from improper positioning of your spine.
This is why it’s essential to choose a mattress that’s kind of neutral. It provides support with being overly appropriate, and it is just soft enough in the ideal places of the body.
Appropriate Temperature Level
One of the very typically overlooked features of a mattress is that the breathability or temperature neutrality of the mattress material. Probably the utmost effective feature of memory foam mattresses today, is their ability to have the ability to conform to your body
Nonetheless, the reduced layers of foam mattresses are infamous for the toaster result.
Basically, the mattress catches your temperature,forcing one to break also hot. |What happens in a nutshell, is that a mattress absorbs your body heat; inducing one to sleep sexy }
Most mattress companies nowadays use modern technology, to create exceptional materials.
Mattress companies want their design to sleep trendy, but also supply warmth where it needs to, and also provide breathability.
Some new names get this better than a few of their opponents. Youtube Advert For Purple Mattress Protection
It’s no surprise if you’re looking a top high excellent mattress, they do not come cheap.
It is a large investment to create, so when you buy one, it’s vital to find a mattress that will certainly last you for several years.
It is essential to discover a mattress which has been well developed, using a long life period in mind.

I've tried different search options in Spotify to find N'dea's version of Old Man by Neil Young. I'm thinking it was released in the late 90s? Possibly 98. Cool arrangement version of this classic song by a legendary singer. Any tips anyone?
The availability of music on Spotify is up to the artists and their music label.
If the music is unavailable, the artist or their music label may have decided to not make it available in Spotify.
Please check this Support article here for more info. 🙂
Shame it's not available. Pretty sweet version of Old Man. Cheers

Chalk up yet another potential protection for people who make a habit of fruits and veggies – this time from the symptoms of the skin condition psoriasis.
In a study in Italy, people without psoriasis were more likely than people with psoriasis to eat fresh fruit two times a day. What else were they more likely to eat? Tomatoes every day and carrots three times a week, reports the British Journal of Dermatology.
This study doesn’t prove that eating fruits and veggies lowers your risk. But it’s another hint that diets high in produce really do pay off.

“Depression is like a fog that engulfs your thoughts, emotions, and actions,” explains mental health expert Dr. Elizabeth Johnson. “Its multifaceted nature makes it challenging to pinpoint its origins and understand its intricate web of causes.”
A Genetic Tango: Deciphering the Role of Heredity in Depression
“Is depression passed down through generations?” ponders Dr. Michael Anderson, renowned geneticist. “Well, there’s compelling evidence suggesting a genetic component to depressive disorder.” Recent studies reveal that individuals with a family history of depression face a two to threefold higher likelihood of being diagnosed with this mental health condition.
Within the Complex Cogs of the Brain: The Neurochemical Link to Depression
“Picture your brain as a bustling metropolis of neurotransmitters,” says Dr. Emily Collins, neuroscientist extraordinaire. “When these chemical messengers misfire, it can disrupt the delicate balance of emotions, paving the way for depression to take hold.” Scientific inquiry indicates that certain genes can influence brain chemistry, rendering individuals more susceptible to the grip of depressive moods and other mental health disorders.
Beyond Genetics: Unmasking the Varied Faces of Depression
“Depression doesn’t discriminate; it can affect anyone, regardless of their genetic predisposition,” reveals Dr. Samantha Lewis, leading psychiatrist. While genes play a role, a constellation of other factors contributes to the risk of developing depression. Age, gender, childbirth, chronic health conditions, central nervous system disorders, and substance use all weave into the intricate tapestry of depressive disorder.
The Demographic Dance: Who is Prone to Depression?
“Depression casts its shadow across diverse demographics,” muses Dr. Benjamin Ramirez, sociologist and mental health advocate. Yet, certain populations face a higher risk. The tempestuous teenage years and early adulthood often serve as the breeding ground for depressive diagnosis. Assigned female at birth? Brace yourself, as depression strikes women twice as often as men. Hormonal fluctuations throughout the menstrual cycle and life stages can tip the scales toward depressive symptoms.
Motherhood’s Silent Struggles: Unveiling the Postpartum Depression Paradox
“Childbirth can be a bittersweet symphony of joy and emotional turmoil,” reflects Dr. Olivia Martinez, maternal health expert. Pregnancy and the postpartum period herald a heightened vulnerability to depression. Astonishingly, 1 in 8 individuals grapple with postpartum depression. Traumatic birth experiences and miscarriages further amplify the risk, underscoring the need for support during this transformative journey.
The Intricate Web: When Health and Mental Well-being Intertwine
“Chronic health conditions and depression often form a sinister alliance,” cautions Dr. William Thompson, internist and mental health researcher. Those battling long-term illnesses like cancer, lupus, or chronic pain find themselves at an elevated risk. Mental health intertwines with physical well-being, and the presence of co-occurring mental health conditions such as anxiety adds further complexity to the equation.
The Shadows of Adversity: Unveiling Stressful Life Events as Precursors to Depression
“Life’s tumultuous storms can leave deep imprints on our mental health,” empathizes Dr. Sarah Roberts, trauma specialist. Major life events, both tragic and transformative, can hurl individuals into the abyss of depression. From the heart-wrenching loss of loved ones to financial insecurity, natural disasters to acts of violence, each upheaval carries the potential to ignite the flame of depressive moods. Even seemingly joyous milestones like marriage, homeownership, or pregnancy can cast a long shadow of stress, heightening the risk of depression.
A Beacon of Support: The Power of Connection
“Amidst the darkness of depression, a ray of hope emerges: the power of human connection,” asserts Dr. Sophia Adams, renowned psychologist and advocate for social support. Research illuminates the vital role that a strong support network plays in mitigating the risk of depressive episodes.
“By fostering meaningful relationships, seeking solace in loved ones, and embracing community, individuals can navigate the stormy seas of depression with greater resilience,” advises Dr. Adams. Whether it’s sharing burdens with trusted confidants, joining support groups, or seeking professional guidance, reaching out during times of challenge and stress can serve as a lifeline toward healing and recovery.
In an ever-changing world, plagued by systemic issues such as sexism, racism, misogyny, and homophobia, acknowledging the impact of social inequalities on mental health becomes paramount. The battle against depression necessitates a united front, driven by compassion, empathy, and an unwavering commitment to dismantling societal barriers that contribute to psychological distress.
“Let us strive for a society that embraces diversity, shatters stigmas, and fosters inclusivity,” implores Dr. Roberts. By building a supportive environment that values every individual’s well-being, we pave the way for a future where depression is met with understanding, compassion, and comprehensive care.
In the face of life’s challenges, remember that you are never alone. Reach out, connect, and let the power of human connection guide you toward the light of hope, resilience, and renewed vitality. Together, we can navigate the labyrinth of depression and emerge stronger, united in our collective commitment to mental well-being.
