The former world heavyweight boxing champion David Haye has appeared in court charged with assault.
Haye, 41, who retired from the sport in 2018, is accused of assaulting Nickesh Jhala at the Hammersmith Apollo in west London on 30 October last year.
The Metropolitan police said Haye was arrested and charged after landing at Heathrow airport on Thursday. He appeared at Westminster magistrates court on Friday, where a district judge, Annabel Pilling, granted him bail.
A trial date of 9 September has been set.
Haye became a professional boxer at 22 and went on to become a cruiserweight world champion in 2008, winning three of the four major world titles, in addition to the Ring Magazine and Lineal titles. He won the World Boxing Association heavyweight title in 2009 after defeating the Russian fighter Nikolai Valuev.
Haye is ranked one of the greatest British fighters of all time after retiring with a professional record of 28 wins and four losses.
He made a comeback in the ring in September 2021 when he defeated the businessman Joe Fournier by unanimous decision in Florida.

It was the first game, against an opponent seemingly bound for a high pick in next June’s NBA draft.
Yet the Clippers left Crypto.com Arena after Wednesday’s season-opening 123-111 win over Portland having seen their preseason talking points turned into regular-season reality, and tentatively believing a tone was set.
With 15 dunks — slams accounted for seven of their first eight baskets — the Clippers pushed the pace as a starting lineup with four players over 30 years old outran the young Trail Blazers. Coach Tyronn Lue spent much of the last three weeks of practices running his players to improve their conditioning and develop an instinct to run in transition.
But even more than his emphasis on running, Lue wanted to see resistance from his defense during the preseason, claiming the Clippers could produce one ranked among the league’s five best. The team’s defensive motto is “hit your man before the screen hits you,” the coach said. And even on a night when Paul George scored 12 of his 27 points in the second quarter, Kawhi Leonard scored 13 of his 23 in the third and Russell Westbrook and Ivica Zubac recorded double-doubles, it was the defense that allowed the Clippers to produce what was so rarely seen last season: A comfortable victory, controlled from the very start.
“We got the ability to, you know, switch, play small, play fast, play big,” George said. “But none of that works if we just don’t bring that intensity that we brought tonight. I thought that carried us. And it just made it defensively, just made it easy. You know, guys were just active. And so if our activity level is that high, we should be a top-five defense.”
The Clippers, all in on a championship pursuit, were of course expected to outmatch Portland, which traded star Damian Lillard weeks ago to begin a rebuild of the roster. But this is almost entirely the same Clippers roster that, last season, also struggled to make life easy on itself. The team had to survive a fight over the final weeks to avoid the postseason’s play-in tournament — including struggling to put away the Lillard-less Trail Blazers in the penultimate game. The Clippers won just one game last season by at least 30 points, their considerable talent rarely healthy at the same time to allow George and Leonard to take over against overmatched opponents.
But within one quarter Wednesday, Portland had seven turnovers, only two assists and three free throws. By halftime, No. 2 overall pick Scoot Henderson had zero points and zero assists. The Clippers led by as many as 30 points and never trailed. Despite shuffling its starting lineup only two days earlier because of an ankle injury to Terance Mann that will sideline Mann from Friday’s game in Utah, as well, the Clippers’ starters — with Robert Covington taking Mann’s place — held Portland to 33% shooting, including just 3-of-18 on three-pointers, in nearly 20 minutes.
Just as Lue challenged Leonard and George four seasons ago to elevate the Clippers as a whole by becoming better playmakers, he wants the pair of former all-defense members, to be the team’s defensive bellwethers.
“They’re our two best defenders and just having ‘em set the tone every single night is going to be good for us,” Lue said. “I thought PG really did a good job with [Anfernee] Simons to the point of attack defense, just getting into ‘em, pressuring ‘em, speed ‘em up.
“Our defense, it is not going to … reflect tonight of how good we were defensive because of down the stretch, and they kind of scored some points at the end. But overall I thought our defense was really good and it starts with PG and Kawhi leading that charge to start every game.”
There were indications during training camp they were ready to take on the challenge. Backup point guard Bones Hyland recalled Leonard guarding him with more intensity than might be expected from a former Finals MVP during an early practice, trying to shut down the young guard’s dribble.
“I think we just have to step out on the floor and like [Lue] said, just show an example that we’re engaged and locked in from the beginning,” Leonard said. “And that’s with either guard[ing] the best player or if you’re on the weak side, communicating and pretty much just letting guys know the spots to be in when we’re out on the bench watching a game.
“So it could just translate over to everybody else and they could carry over.”
It has carried over to teammates like Hyland, an offense-first player who has willingly turned his attention toward the other side of the ball. With reserve forward Nicolas Batum clapping in encouragement on the sideline, Hyland guarded Henderson in one corner, funneling Henderson’s baseline drive toward waiting defenders who tipped his pass away, one of Portland’s 18 turnovers. On a different possession, Malcolm Brogdon — the guard the Clippers nearly traded for in the offseason — drove past Hyland, but Hyland didn’t give up, staying on his hip enough to contest the shot, leading to a miss.
Covington earned his third start in 74 games with the Clippers, and his first since the 2021-22 season. Covington had five points on five shots, but he isn’t being asked to be impactful offensively, either. Instead, he swiped at dribbles and passes, finishing with three steals that the Clippers turned into five points. George also had three steals.
“It’s in everyone’s head, everyone’s thinking about it,” said Zubac, who had 20 points and 12 rebounds. “I hope we can lock in every game like this from the jump just to be the most physical team, lock in on the defensive end of the floor.”

The European Union is to start treating Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories as separate from Israel and exclude them from all kinds of cooperation.
According to Tuesday’s edition of Haaretz newspaper, the “binding” decision is expected to take effect on the ground this Friday.
“The European Union has published a binding directive to all 28 member states forbidding any funding, cooperation, awarding of scholarships, research funds or prizes to anyone residing in the Jewish settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem,” Haaretz said.
The newspaper reported anonymous officials in the Israeli foreign ministry calling the move an “earthquake.” The reason, he explained, is that “understandings and quiet agreements that the Union does not work beyond the Green Line were turned into formal, binding policy.”
Haaretz also reported that the decision included a demand by the EU for Israel to make clear when it signs any agreement with Brussels that the Israeli settlements are not part of the state of Israel.
Israeli Radio said in the morning that the occupied Syrian Golan Heights is also included in the decision based on the EU position which does not recognise Israeli occupation after 1967.
Europe has long opposed much of Israel’s policy in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. It said in a statement issued in December its “longstanding position is that Israeli settlements are illegal under international law,” and it does not recognise Israel’s sovereignty over the occupied territories.
In March EU foreign policy Chief Catherine Ashton called for implementing the labelling of products produced in the settlements for sale in Europe.

Relentless Rose rises to the top at Torrey Pines
Justin Rose moved three strokes clear of the rest of the field after a superlative second round at the Farmers Insurance Open on Friday.
The world number one signed for a six under 66 on the tougher South Course, enough to take him to a record-equaling 15 under for the tournament and three shots ahead of Japanese star Hideki Matsuyama, who is alone in second.
Rose was three under through six and dropped his first shot of the week on the par four seventh. After a birdie on the ninth, consistent iron play saw the Englishman card three more birdies coming home. When you hit 16 out of 18 greens, it sure makes life easier. But Rose is under no illusions as to the challenge that remains.
“Listen, it’s the halfway point,” the European Tour veteran told the press.
“If I had a three-shot lead going into Sunday, then it would be worth kind of thinking about game plan and strategy, but as of now I’ll just keep doing what I’m doing.
“If you can go out and make four, five birdies a day, you’re going to maybe drop the odd shot around here, it doesn’t take much to do that, so if you can stay positive and make your birdies, then it becomes harder to catch someone.
“I’ll just pick my moments really and if I’m feeling good and I’ve got good numbers, go at it. If not, par’s never a bad score here.”

Two strokes behind Matsuyama – who carded a second consecutive 66 – are American duo Billy Horschel and Ryan Palmer, tied with Spaniard Jon Rahm on ten under.
Also moving into contention is four-time major winner Rory McIlroy, who shot a seven under 65 to take him to eight under, seven off the pace.
Seven-time tournament champion Tiger Woods failed to take advantage of the easier North Course, firing a two under 70. The round took him to four under for the event, just ahead of the two under cut line. Woods blamed a cold putter for his lackluster round.
“Tee to green was okay,” said the 14-time major champion.
“I made a few mistakes here and there. I just couldn’t get a putt to fall. A lot of lip???outs today and a round that could have easily been five, six under par just didn’t materialize.
“I’m hitting good putts … so if I just continue hitting good putts, eventually they’ll go in in boatloads. Just right now they’re just not going in.”

Researcher Dante Dixson grew up with a strong sense of hope in life, largely due to the messages he received from his mother about problem-solving and working hard. Although none of his parents or grandparents went to college, there was never any doubt whether he would go.
But as his research shows, young people from marginalized groups don’t always receive these hopeful messages today. Against a backdrop of political strife and tense race relations in the U.S., they may rarely hear positive expectations from teachers or see role models in the media who look like them.
As a result, it can be difficult to envision a bright future—or any future at all, which was the case for one 16 year old who told Dixson he didn’t expect to live past 18, in the same casual way one would say, “I’m going to buy some ice cream.”
Dixson is an assistant professor of educational psychology at Wayne State University—soon to be at Michigan State University—and the principal investigator of The Hope Laboratory, looking at how hope influences students’ expectations for their lives, particularly minority students’. He and others have found that hope, or having something to look forward to and tangibly work toward, is associated with better engagement and curiosity in the classroom, higher academic achievement, greater happiness, and a lower risk of death. Dixson’s work helps educators, teachers, and psychologists understand how imagination and hope can propel students toward goals and outcomes that may have seemed out of reach.
In the interview below, I talk with Dixson about how hope (or the lack thereof) can influence students’ lives, the impact of racial and class-based disparities in education, and what we can do to bring more hope to all.
Jenara Nerenberg: Hope seems like such an intangible concept. How do we actually help young people cultivate a stronger sense of hope?
Dante Dixson: Right now and over the last year, I’ve been implementing and developing an intervention in the suburbs of Detroit that lasts 90 minutes or less.
The whole point of the intervention is to get students to think more is possible and to get students to think that what is possible is actually easier to get to than expected. I show pictures to students of people who we don’t generally expect to be successful, along with fake low GPAs. They share reactions like, “Oh, they’re probably in jail.” Then I show pictures of them in their real lives—one is a cardiac surgeon, one is in the NFL, the other has a startup with multimillion-dollar revenue. And I ask the students how they think they got from point A to point B.
One person said, “They went to church and prayed for hours and hours and hours.” And I tell them, well, actually they took something like the “hard work pledge,” which is what I ask my students to take: that they will show up to class and do what the teacher says no matter what, do all the work assigned to them to the best of their ability, and actively try to succeed the best they can for six weeks. These all relate to higher success rates in school.
JN: How does your intervention help students with goal setting?
DD: I ask the students to choose a stretch goal to accomplish within six months—many choose getting an A or a 4.0. And they come up with three medium-term goals that will help make that ultimate goal more likely to be accomplished, like getting an A on the midterm or getting an A on the science project.
And then I have the students come up with what the highest impediment might be to accomplishing one of those subgoals. So if a subgoal was to get an A on the science project, then the highest impediment would be not coming up with a good project idea or perhaps a distraction. Then I ask the students to come up with how they might overcome those impediments. Research [suggests that] if you’re able to imagine the obstacles, students are more likely to overcome them.
I have them close their eyes and go through a hope-visualization exercise, using as many senses as they can. I guide them as they imagine themselves going through their day, waking up and going to school, day after day, then imagining that subgoal—see it in the distance and then imagine that impediment coming up. Perhaps a cell phone disrupts the studying, and then I ask them to imagine what they would do in that situation. Then I ask them to imagine how their friends and family might feel seeing them accomplishing the subgoals. Then I ask them again to sense and imagine the ramification of accomplishing the stretch goal.
The goal is to get students to believe that what they want to do in life is just a huge but extremely manageable step away. I may not be able to envision becoming a medical doctor at Harvard, but I can show up for class! I can do my homework for six weeks! I can do what the teacher says for six weeks!
Then the environment starts to respond to them differently. If you’re getting an A in the classroom, the teachers are more likely to respond favorably, the classmates are more likely to respond favorably, and then all these things reinforce what got you there.
JN: Why is hope particularly important for young people from disadvantaged groups?
DD: I think that hope, in particular, is a great avenue for minority and disadvantaged youth because it gets the student to think outside of the typical outcomes. Students can’t envision themselves doing these [great] things because no one around them is doing it. But if you can get students to hope beyond what is typical of those around them—see it, feel it, sense it—then that gets them to take action and to strive beyond what those around them are striving for.
“If you can get students to hope beyond what is typical of those around them—see it, feel it, sense it—then that gets them to take action”
With our current political climate banning various groups or making it harder for certain groups to come to the United States and see themselves as American, all of this affects their level of hope. If I were Hispanic and hearing people say that people who look like me don’t belong here and that walls are going up to keep people like me out, that’s going to hinder my ability to be hopeful within my day-to-day life.
JN: Part of your work is around gifted education. Can you talk more about the experiences of students of color in this context?
DD: Take, for example, a young African American boy who sees the highest achievers who look like him. What does he see? He sees athletes, primarily. Or entertainers. Some studies found that African Americans are several times more likely to be portrayed in media as thieves, burglars, in jail, or some other negative portrayal as compared to European Americans, who are many times more likely to be portrayed as doctors and lawyers and other highly educated people.
I think that when you’re a young African American boy and you’re constantly seeing African Americans being portrayed as in jail, dead, or as an athlete or entertainer, that limits what you believe is possible. So the question then becomes, “What makes me special? So that I can rise above that and be the odd man out.”
But even when one does have the ability—like for an AP class or a gifted program—many of them don’t want to be there, because there is this sense of being alone and not belonging there.
I read a book chapter once that said a child is five times more likely to be in a gifted program if they are of high socioeconomic status (SES) versus low SES. Teachers are much less likely to identify minority and disadvantaged students to enter gifted programs. Wealthy people can generally go and get a private assessment that demonstrates the child’s gifted abilities, and additionally they can pay for the high cost of gifted programs.
So when you take all of that into account, there’s just this conglomerate of factors that are all working against minority and disadvantaged students to live up to their highest potential. So it all comes together where students are not seeing themselves or envisioning themselves there. And even if they can see themselves there, they don’t have this sense of agency of “I can make it there.”
JN: So how can people have more hope in this climate? How do we push back against societal messages?
DD: The way that we fight that is by holding up marginalized groups. For instance, if the political message is that young Hispanic students don’t belong here, then highlighting their accomplishments, spotlighting them, focusing on their contributions to American society. What that does is give people a different view to see past the barriers being put around them.
“The way that we fight societal messages is by holding up marginalized groups”
If the message is that Hispanics don’t belong but then a counter message is being put out there about their great contributions to American society, that can show that Hispanic youth can accomplish things. For example, if a Hispanic Rhodes Scholar or medical doctor is being highlighted in a magazine, then it helps a Hispanic youth envision what they can accomplish but also helps provide information about how they can accomplish those things.
JN: How does police violence and the lack of hopeful media representation impact young African American men, and how would you suggest community leaders go about generating more hope?
DD: If I saw a young African American getting shot by the police, that would hinder my hope in that I would think that people like me are always going to be marginalized and the system is always going to try to encroach upon me trying to live up to my abilities. What that might do is make me reach for goals that are not as high and then believe that I can’t accomplish the goals that I would if I felt like I didn’t have any restrictions.
What young African American men can do themselves is try to understand that these events are not representative of all situations. If I took a group of young African Americans to a historically black college or university where people look like them and came from backgrounds like they did and are now accomplishing things we don’t see in the media and TV, then that would facilitate their belief in their ability that they can accomplish the things the media says they can’t.
Is racism real? Unmistakably. It’s real and powerful and a very big barrier to minority youth. But at the same time, one of racism’s biggest ways of hindering hope is it makes people think that they can’t accomplish a lot. And the way we challenge that is by African Americans actually thinking they can accomplish more and that if they do the best they can do and try to accomplish as much as they can—even if racism is real—they’ll get a whole lot further than if they didn’t try in the first place.
A question I often ask is, “What would you do if you knew you could not fail? What would you try to be if you knew you could not fail?” Then I try to get them to answer that question by facilitating as many steps along that path as possible—for example, I might introduce them to doctor friends of mine if they say they want to be a medical doctor or take them to a medical school. One time, I had someone come to a grad school class with me so that he would see that we’re not solving differential equations in that class and that it’s not as hard as people think it is.
So it’s basically lifting the veil on these things that the students just aren’t exposed to and letting them know they can accomplish these things just as much as anybody else can.

How To Get Tested For Std Bradford RI 02808
Top STD Checking Tips in Bradford RI
STD screening is crucial for guys and women who are active sexually. The most typical sexually transmitted illness will be screened by health care companies. Some of the most common ones consist of Chlamydia, HIV, Gonorrhea and herpes; the list goes on.
When it pertains to herpes, it is challenging to detect due to the fact that the signs or symptoms are generally the only proof; and might show up later. Syphilis screening is usually suggested to women who are expectant. The following is a breakdown of the aspects and pointers while testing for SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASE.

Your basic medical professional or health care company should be in position to offer STD testing.
Be keen on the time period that is pegged to each sexually transmitted illness concerning screening. HIV screening needs you to do it once again after 3 months and again to totally ascertain the real outcomes. Some Sexually transmitted diseases like Chlamydia require a week to be found after sexual relations.
Apart from blood samples, STD screening as discussed above will involve taking swabs and for example in men, swabs are drawn from the rectum or urethra (keeping in mind sexual preference).
One week suffices to understand the outcomes of most tests. If those results are favorable, there are treatments/cures readily available for the majority of STIs. Those with the HIV virus might only look forward to handling their condition due to the fact that a treatment is still elusive.

Realities About Sexually Transferred Illness in Bradford RI
Diseases which spread out through sexual contact are referred to as “Sexually Transferred Diseases” or STDs. As Everett Koop, MD, Former US General Cosmetic surgeon put it “When you have sex with somebody, you are making love with everyone they have had sex with for the last ten years, and everyone they and their partners have actually had sex with for the last 10 years.”
Here are some realities about Sexually transmitted diseases:

- Individuals who have been infected can endure for several years with medication to combat the HIV infection.
- Sexually transmitted diseases might cause cervical and other cancers, pelvic inflammatory disease, persistent liver disease and infertility in ladies.
The threat of obtaining Sexually Transmitted Disease is high among youngsters who indulge in sexual activity and increases when a person has several sex partners.
Individuals who are contaminated with STDs are more likely to obtain HIV infection when exposed to the infection through sexual contact than uninfected people.

When Dan Cluderay appeared on Dragon's Den last month, the experts were highly skeptical about his business idea.
Cluderay wanted funding for a business selling out-of-date food at a huge discount online, and the Dragons decided that the idea wasn't going to go anywhere. Now 40-year-old Cluderay, from Worksop in Nottinghamshire, says the business, Approved Food, is turning over £4 million.
Cluderay first started selling out-of-date food in 2001 when he was made redundant from his job as a software engineer. With his redundancy money he set up market stalls in Leeds, Hull and Doncaster, and did a roaring trade. However, the idea for the online business came when he took a delivery of nettle tea. He realised his usual customers wouldn't be interested, but there were people elsewhere in the country who would - and if he could get the business online, he could reach them.
He teamed up with 50-year-old Andy Needham, who ran a wholesaling business and had a background in finance, to take the business online. The website went live in 2008, and he is now turning over £4 million from his warehouse in Sheffield.
Is out-of-date food safe?
His website sells items that have gone past the 'best before' date - or are very close to it. After this date they are still safe to eat, but the manufacturers estimate that their texture or flavour may not be as good as when they were first produced. All the items he sells are within their 'use by' date - which is a safety measure, and which the experts recommend nobody should eat once it passes.
The big retailers avoid food near or past the best before date, as their customers won't accept it. But for bargain hunters it's a small price to pay for reductions of up to 70%. At the moment deals on the site include Heinz balsamic vinegar, reduced from £2.89 to £1.49, eight cans of peach and apricot Fanta, reduced from £3.55 to £1, and 500g of Buitoni pasta reduced from £1 to 59p. The postage and packaging is £5.99, so shoppers need to order a handful of items in order to start saving
Would you buy it?
There is clearly demand for food like this. The site is one of the stars of ITV show Bargain Fever Britain, and after the first show aired, it saw a huge spike in people registering. Demand was so high that the website struggled to cope, and the company had to issue a Twitter apology.
The site taps into a growing movement, encouraging people not to throw food away on the basis of best before dates. The Love Food Hate Waste campaign has been actively promoting the fact that passing the best before date is no reason to throw an item out - and that there's no danger in eating food as it is within the 'use by' date. The Waste and Resources Action Programme (Wrap) recently discovered that shoppers could save £600 million a year by eating items just one day past their best before date.
There are currently not many online players in this market - aside from Approved Food and Clearancexl.co.uk. There are several stores around the country, such as Factory Foods Clearance Outlet in Rotheram, and the Community Shops in Lambeth, London, and Goldthorpe in South Yorkshire. And there is every chance that this sector is set to expand. Certainly if the interest in Approved Foods is anything to go by, there's a huge market just waiting to be tapped.
But what do you think? Does the saving tempt you into buying out of date items? Or would you rather pay more for items at their best? Let us know in the comments.

Although last year’s edition was cancelled because of the pandemic, the Rencontres de la Photographie d’Arles returned this year with a series of groundbreaking exhibitions. A highlight of the 2021 edition is an exhibition curated by Antwaun Sargent, a director at Gagosian Gallery who is also emerging as one of the most influential curators of his generation. The New Black Vanguard: Photography between Art and Fashion examines Black identity in photography. It is billed as presenting “artists whose vibrant portraits and conceptual images fuse the genres of art and fashion photography in ways that break down long-established boundaries.” The exhibition, which was previously presented in the United States, Australia and Qatar, showcases the work of young photographers from a variety of countries including Nigeria, Ethiopia, Guinea, South Africa, the UK, and the US.

The 30-year prison sentence will stand for a Mercer County, Illinois man convicted of lighting his wife on fire.
Kristopher Bo Jones was found guilty of attempted murder and heinous battery in 2005 after he poured gasoline on his wife, Tanya Jones, and lit her on fire. She survived but was hospitalized for months for treatment of burns over 80 percent of her body.
Bo Jones had asked for a new trial, claiming his constitutional due process rights were violated. His previous appeals were also denied.
Mercer County State’s Attorney Gregory McHugh said he is happy Jones’ most-recent appeal was denied.
“This was a horrible crime and Kristopher Jones deserves every day of his 30 year sentence,” McHugh said.

Stroke nurse visits Malawi to plan new unit
A specialist stroke nurse joined her colleagues on a visit to help draw up plans for a new stroke unit in Malawi.
A specialist stroke nurse joined her colleagues on a visit to help draw up plans for a new stroke unit in Malawi
Four members of University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust’s Hyper-acute Stroke Unit (HASU) travelled to Queen Elizabeth Central hospital in the southeast African country.
Among them was lead nurse Selina Edwards who was keen to promote the work of nurses like herself to the locals.
She said: ‘Stroke nurses literally save lives. We want to take our experience of an empowered nursing workforce to Malawi, to ensure the success and sustainability of this crucial service. From a nursing perspective, this stands to be an amazing project for all those involved.’
Common health issues
Given recent advances in fighting disease, people in Malawi are living much longer and strokes are becoming increasingly common.
They are among the most common reason for admission and the third biggest cause of death.
The team’s plans include applying for funding, refurbishing and equipping an existing building and bringing Malawian staff to UCLH for training.
It is also hoped that HASU staff will be able to go on rotation to the new unit and that it will carry out research into the causes of stroke.

Artist's Biography - Marc Chagall
( 1887 - 1985 )
Marc Chagall, often referred to as the "James Joyce of Art", managed to develop and preserve his own unique style and vision in a time when the world's view of art was in a constant state of flux. Of the many modern art movements, including Fauvism, Cubism, Expressionism, Futurism, DeStijl, and Surrealism, Chagall, though he repeatedly resisted the label, is often grouped with the surrealists.
Surrealism may take a number of distinct forms each of which, is characterized by the irrational approach, and construction, of unreal, unworldly, mysterious figures, either painted extremely meticulously, or constructed in near abstract shapes. Chagall, who calls his work, "pictorial arrangements of images that obsess me" incorporates Eastern and Western art, his childhood village and dreams, subconscious fantasies, and lovers, in a magic world of beauty and color, that is sometimes sad, yet untouched by corrupting influences. This inner world or "la Chagallite", as it is sometimes called, defies both logic and physics, and once viewed, is not easily forgotten.
Chagall was born in the Jewish quarter of Vitebsk, White Russia, on July 7, 1887. His parents were frugal, honest people who were dismayed at his interest in becoming a painter. Against their wishes he enrolled in the local art school and later studied art under Leon Bakst, at a private school in St. Petersburg. It was there a lawyer named Vinaver admired the young man's earnest, highly untraditional creations and gave him an allowance which enabled him to travel to Paris in 1910. Once there, Chagall fell in love with France and the "City of Light" and later spent most of his adult life there.
In 1914, after some success in Paris and Berlin, Chagall returned to Vitebsk just before the outbreak of World War I to marry his childhood sweetheart, Bella Rosenfeld. (When he was to return to Europe after the war he would discover that of the several hundred paintings he had left behind, nearly all of them disappeared) From 1914-1922, Chagall, while continuing to paint, was in turn, Commissar of Fine Arts for the new Bolshevist government in Vitebsk, founder of a new Academy for Fine Arts in Vitebsk, and set designer for the Jewish State Theater, and playwright Gogol. His painting, however, did not please the new party officials who angrily asked, "Why is the cow green and why is the horse flying in the sky? What has that to do with Marx and Lenin?" After a disagreement with another group of artist, Chagall left Moscow for Berlin, where his paintings had since become accepted. Later, in his autobiography, "My Life" (1933) he was to write: "Neither Imperial Russia, nor Soviet Russia needs me. I am a mystery, a stranger to them%85perhaps Europe will love me, and with her, my Russia."
And love him it did. For the rest of his life, from continent to continent, success followed Chagall wherever he went. His work took him around the world - producing paintings, lithographs, murals, illustrations, marble reliefs, sets and costumes, and stained glass windows for scores of exhibitions, books, operas, ballets and cathedrals. Chagall is painter of love, painting the things he loved: his wife, people, flowers, animals, and his home town. Although he practiced his art in Russia for no more than 12 years, the locale for most of his works was still the Jewish section of Vitebsk. It is to his credit that through all these years he has kept his vision, his "la chagallite" intact. Misunderstood at first, Chagall's world has grown to be loved and accepted by people everywhere.

The coolant temperature sensor 14505855 for Volvo models Description:
- The coolant temperature sensor on Volvo models with a normally aspirated 6-cylinder engine is mounted in the coolant housing on the right side of the engine, below the thermostat.
- It monitors the engine coolant on the engine side of the thermostat. This provides an accurate reading of both banks of the engine.
- The sensor is a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) sensor. This means as engine coolant temperature increases, sensor internal resistance decreases, causing a drop in sensor voltage.
- The engine coolant temperature sensor is responsible for sending the temperature of the engine to the DME and then shared with the instrument cluster via bus signal.
- This data is used in conjunction with other signals to determine the correct engine timing, fuel injector pulse along with other adaptable features. It is the main sensor used to operate the electronic cooling fan.
- It is a two-wire sensor. One wire is the reference voltage monitored by the DME to determine coolant temperature. The other is a shared ground wire, shared with the engine oil sensor and the engine pressure sensor.
NOTE: Please make sure the model number, part number and photo is the same as yours.

Balochistan Province continues to suffer the wrath of law enforcement agencies; even by official figures, corpses found are threatening to breach the 1,000 mark in recent years. The real numbers are greater, with violent death scarring the countryside and blotting humanity.
According to official reports, nearly a thousand bullet-ridden corpses have been recovered from various parts of Balochistan in the past six years. Many of these corpses have been unrecognizable, with the faces burnt by the use of acid, a tactic used by the intelligence agencies. The official data also discloses that over 112 persons are still missing in the Province.
It is worthy to note that these figures have been prepared by senior government officials assigned to execute the National Action Plan (NAP) and to cracking down on terrorism and supplement the ongoing anti-terrorist offensive in North-Western Pakistan. The following is the year wise breakup of dead bodies recovered, as per the report:
Balochistan Province, rich in natural resources, has been lagging in major economic and social development indicators. Military and civilian governments in Pakistan have been apathetic to the plight of the Baloch, by policy. The Baloch have suffered prejudice time and again and are often viewed as a threat to national security.
Mr. Sana Baloch, ex-Senator from Balochistan, has stated in one of his interviews that “a combination of economic collapse, Talibanisation, sectarian menace, abductions for ransom, near-to-collapsed health and education infrastructures, corruption and brutally mismanaged governance have brought the province to the verge of a Somalia-like situation where the ordinary citizen begs state-backed criminals, gangs and mafias for safety and security. Balochistan is in a political crisis and it needs a well-sequenced roadmap to undo the damage and reverse the cycle of violence in order to prevent further political and human catastrophe or repeat of another cycle of violence in the province.”
The Baloch discontent with State policies is a direct consequence of ill-crafted security centric policies of the State, whereby the masses are left to fend for themselves. Kech, formerly Turbat District, one of poorest districts, has remained, for many years, in the total control of the Pakistan Military, the Frontier Corp (FC).
The people taken into custody are taken to a sub head quarter of FC at Turbat where they are tortured for investigation and then those who are suspected are taken to other unknown places in the provinces. Sometime thereafter, their mutilated bodies are found in deserted locations.
The official figure of arrest of Balochis has been a whopping 9,000, and this number does not include the disappeared. This official figure is obviously a tip of the iceberg.
Provincial Home Secretary Akbar Hussain Durrani stated, on 28 December 2015 that more than 9,000 suspected militants and criminals have been arrested by Police, Levies, Frontier Corps and Intelligence Agencies in Balochistan as a part of the NAP in 2015. He claimed that a total of 1,973 intelligence-based operations have been conducted in Balochistan, to arrest elements involved in targeted killings, bomb explosions, and kidnappings.
The Baloch nationalists have been targeted in all of the operations, while the extremists and religious zealots have been allowed to operate with impunity to divert attention from the Baloch freedom movement. The Ahle Sunnat Wal Jammat (ASWJ) and Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, the proscribed religious militant organisations, both have a green signal from the Pakistani State to carry on without fear.
Human rights defenders have time and again pointed out the vicious designs of the government to perpetuate their authoritarian writ over the people of Balochistan and gain control over the Baloch’s resources by engaging them in war. State agencies deliberately force the Baloch towards militancy, because the State is unable to defeat them on political grounds. They drag the Baloch into the battlefield to crush them.
The recent Quetta blast was an attack on intellectuals, with the aim of eradicating those that give voice for Baloch people. The attack will herald another round of operations, further alienating the Baloch. The common perception amongst the people of Balochistan is that the State has utterly failed to protect them, as it is only interested in saving the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (C-PEC).
The security forces wanted to punish the indigenous population that is opposing the building of C-PEC. The Baloch fear they will become a minority in their own Province. The fact that the State, instead of opting for dialogue to solve the issue, has adopted a security-centric approach to squash resistance; this has further eroded their trust in the government.
Enforced disappearance and the State’s “kill and dump policy” has caused mistrust between the general populace of Balochistan and the Federal government, prolonging the insurgency. The State’s strategy of creating and supporting Islamist extremist groups to manage domestic political challenges has enormously aggravated the problem in Balochistan The limited gain, in terms of a marginal reduction in indices of violence, consequently, offers little hope of a sustainable improvement in the Province.

JPMorgan Chase stashed away hundreds of millions of dollars in cash amid growing fears that the U.S. economy will enter a recession, The Wall Street Journal reported.
JPMorgan Chase put aside $900 million in cash in preparation for an economic downturn, The Wall Street Journal reported. JPMorgan chief executive officer Jamie Dimon has increasingly warned that the Federal Reserve has been behind the curve fighting inflation and their efforts will bring the U.S. economy into a recession around the fourth quarter of 2022.
The U.S. trade deficit continued to grow in December as the import-export gap widened to record highs in 2021, the Census Bureau reported Tuesday.
The trade deficit grew by 1.8% in December 2021 to $80.7 billion, the Census Bureau announced Tuesday, $1.4 billion above the revised figure from November 2021.
A large coalition of state financial officers announced their opposition to one of President Joe Biden’s top nominees for the Federal Reserve over her “radical” policy positions.
Sarah Bloom Raskin would put U.S. financial and economic stability at risk to achieve her “preferred social outcomes” if confirmed, the top financial officers of 25 states wrote to Biden in a letter Monday. Raskin, the former deputy secretary of the Treasury Department during the Obama administration, has taken particular aim at addressing climate change through aggressive financial policies.
“As State Treasurers, Auditors, and financial officers, we write to express our strong disapproval of Sarah Bloom Raskin as your choice for Vice-Chair for Supervision at the Federal Reserve Bank. We urge you to withdraw her nomination,” the letter stated.
End of the year reviews, along with predictions for the coming year, are a staple around this time. But, as Yogi Berra wisely said, “It’s tough to make predictions, especially about the future.”
I took a look at what I wrote last year, and a lot of it held up reasonably well (You can be the judge). I argued that the system and its managers are not doing a great job, the coronavirus crisis exposed their incompetence and malevolence, and that bad economics and crime would be major factors in marring the year ahead. Specifically, “a crisis of authority and legitimacy is emerging from failures in the most fundamental tasks of a society: the provision for basic needs, physical security, and a fair and accepted means of making decisions and picking leaders.”
The U.S. economy grew at a 2% rate in the third quarter of 2021 as supply chain issues and the delta variant slowed gains.
The U.S. gross domestic product (GDP), a measure of net services and goods produced, grew at a 2% rate during the third quarter of 2021, the slowest gain of the pandemic era, the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) reported Thursday.
The Federal Reserve said in September that it would begin taking steps to combat growing inflation in the U.S. economy, according to notes from a Sept. 21 and Sept. 22 Open Market Committee meeting first obtained by The Wall Street Journal.
The Federal Reserve will be scaling back its $120 billion monthly purchases of U.S. Treasury and mortgage securities due to the growing surge in inflation and strong consumer spending leading to heightened demand, according to minutes from a September meeting released Wednesday by the WSJ. The reduction in spending, commonly referred to as tapering, will begin in mid-November, and experts believe it could end by June, according to the meeting notes.
The U.S. economy surged 6.5% in the second quarter of 2021 as states continued to end coronavirus-related restrictions that triggered an economic recession last year.
The U.S. gross domestic product (GDP), a measure of net services and goods produced, jumped at a 6.5% annual rate between April and May, according to a Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) report released Thursday. GDP plummeted 31.4% in the second quarter of 2020 amid the massive nationwide economic shutdowns that occurred during the first coronavirus outbreak.
The U.S. economy reported an increase of 379,000 jobs in February while the unemployment rate fell to 6.2%, according to Department of Labor data released Friday.
Total non-farm payroll employment increased by 379,000 in February, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) report, and the number of unemployed persons fell slightly to 10 million. Economists projected 210,000 Americans to be added to payrolls and the unemployment rate to increase to hold at 6.3% prior to Friday’s report, according to The Wall Street Journal.

On Tuesday of this week, the U.S. Department of Transportation designated a network of highways as the proposed Primary Freight Network – highways which will receive priority funding for infrastructure improvements.
Today, the Centers for Disease Control released a new Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, Residential Proximity to Major Highways — United States, 2010, which reveals that “approximately 4% of the total U.S. population lives within 150 meters of a major highway, suggesting increased exposure to traffic-related air pollution and elevated risk for adverse health outcomes.”
The facts are clear – diesel exhaust, the predominate public health risk from freight transportation – is deadly, it sickens many, and kills some.
If, as intended, highways that are part of the Primary Freight Network are upgraded to handle increasing volumes of freight, millions of people – especially in socially disadvantaged communities – could face increased health risks.
The CDC recommendation?
Focusing prevention and mitigation interventions in urban areas, where there is a higher concentration of traffic-related air pollution and a greater proportion of the population residing near major roads, and in areas with the most socially disadvantaged populations will likely result in larger health benefits (37). Future and ongoing efforts to address disparities in residential proximity to major highways and traffic-related air pollution exposures will require an interdisciplinary collaboration between transportation, urban planning, and public health specialists.
Question for our readers, especially those in the Congress and Executive Branch –
- Does the Federal government plan on integrating public health considerations and experts into the transportation planning process?
- Will the final Primary Freight Network be aligned so as to minimize the number of people in the high health risk zone?
- Will priority funding for the Primary Freight Network include air quality monitoring in the high health risk zone, especially in heavily populated areas?
- Will provisions be put in place to ensure that the health of vulnerable populations is improved rather than damaged by future infrastructure improvements?

MetalX plans $200M Midwest aluminum plant
Fort Wayne-based MetalX is partnering with private investment firm Manna Capital Partners to build a more than $200 million aluminum rolling slab facility in the Midwest and create about 100 jobs.
The metal recycling company said a specific location has not yet been identified, but the plant would be located in northeast Indiana, northwest Ohio or southern Michigan.
The facility, which could be as large as 500,000 square feet, is expected to produce 220 million pounds of ultra-low carbon aluminum rolling slab annually with a higher percentage of recycled content than what is currently available, MetalX said. The plant will produce alloys primarily for the beverage, packaging and auto industries.
“As new aluminum mill rolling capacity comes on-line, demand for rolling slab is expected to increase, especially for low carbon slab with high recycled content,” a spokesperson for MetalX said in an email to IIB. “The Midwest locations are desirable due to proximity to raw material supply.”
The company said a decision on which location will get the plant is expected within the next six months. The plant is expected to be fully operational in the first half of 2026.
MetalX said the facility will anchor a $300 million greenfield recycling campus that will also include a processing operation from the company, as well as a dedicated logistics center from New York-based Page Trucking Inc.
The campus will be designed to provide closed-loop recycling to support the aluminum industry.
MetalX is headquartered in Fort Wayne, where it also operates a community recycling facility. The company also has processing facilities in Auburn and Wabash, and employs 230 people across its entire footprint.
The company previously had recycling operations in Waterloo, Indiana and Delta, Ohio before it sold its ferrous scrap steel recycling business unit to Australia-based BlueScope in a $240 million deal in late 2021.

Scope and Content
Administrative / Biographical History
Queen Elizabeth visited Cambridge University in August 1564. Sir William Cecil, Secretary of State and Chancellor of the University, requested that a book be compiled of verses composed by members of the University in honour of the visit. Most of the colleges contributed verses, but King's College compiled its own volume. The book was presented to the Queen and returned by her to Cecil. A second volume, detailing college founders, benefactors and members, was prepared, but is now lost.

One good thing to come out of this tale of dumb fuckery is that I learned that “scandal” in Portuguese is also “escândalo.” I lit up like Ryan Lochte after finally winning a game of Rocks, Paper, Siccor.
And in today’s episode of “This Is What Happens When Ryan Lochte Tries To Mastermind An Elaborate Lie,” we learn that he and three other U.S. swimmers were probably not robbed at gunpoint by thieves pretending to be cops. Ryan’s story started falling apart a quick minute after he opened up his mouth and now it’s a bigger mess than that hair color. Last night, authorities in Brazil pulled two of the swimmers, Jack Conger and Gunnar Bentz, off of a flight for questioning, and they stopped the fourth swimmer, Jimmy Feigen, from leaving the country. And today, the Associated Press reports that Jack and Gunnar told authorities that they made up the robbery story. I’m sure that all of this will be seen in Netflix’s new investigative series titled Making A Moron.
Ryan told Billy Bush on Today that while driving back to the athletes’ village after partying at France House, their taxi was pulled over by fake cops who held a gun to his head and stole their wallets and money. But Ryan later told Matt Lauer that the thieves robbed them at a gas station where they stopped to piss. Ryan also said that one of the robbers didn’t exactly point a gun directly at his head. The robber pointed it in his direction. Ryan swore on his gorgeous patriotic grill that he wasn’t lying. But Ryan made one big mistake. Ryan didn’t make his teammates pinky swear to be each other’s
ride or die swim or die bitch until the end, because Jack and Gunnar reportedly sold his ass out. A source told AP that Jack and Gunnar told authorities a different story. via ES-PEE-N
[The source] said that around 6 a.m. Sunday, Lochte, along with Conger, Bentz and Jimmy Feigen, stopped at a gas station in Barra da Tijuca, a suburb of Rio where many Olympic venues are located. One of the swimmers tried to open the door of an outside bathroom. It was locked.
A few of the swimmers then pushed on the door and broke it. A security guard appeared and confronted them, the official said. The guard was armed with a pistol, the official said, but he never took it out or pointed it at the swimmers.
According to the official, the gas station manager then arrived. Using a customer to translate, the manager asked the swimmers to pay for the broken door. After a discussion, they paid him an unknown amount of money and left.
A Brazilian police source told ABC News that the situation was much more messier (and pissier) than that. The source said that one of the swimmers also fought with a security guard. Ryan and company reportedly gave the gas station manager 100 reals and $20 for the jacked-up bathroom door. The gas station owner also told O Globo (via Deadspin) that the swimmers pissed all over the walls. Sucio bitches, save that piss for the pool! And it goes without saying, but they were plastered.
TMZ posted the video from the gas station, and it doesn’t show them breaking down the bathroom door or pissing on the walls. It shows them going to the bathroom and leaving. Once they get back into their cab, gas station employees go after them and they have a few words. The swimmers all get out of the cab and you can see them putting their hands up and sitting. So it seems like a security guard did pull a gun on them, but there were no fake cops involved and they weren’t “robbed” of any money. They gave up the cash to pay for the broken door.
This is the biggest “MOM!” in history. This disaster all started when Ryan’s mom told the media that her son told her that he was robbed at gunpoint by fake cops.
Jack, Gunnar and Jimmy are still in Brazil. Ryan left Brazil before the authorities could nab his ass and he’s already back in the U.S. A spokesperson for the IOC issued a statement that basically said “Boys will be boys!”
— Greg Wyshynski (@wyshynski) August 18, 2016
And Ryan hasn’t commented on Jack and Gunnar reportedly spilling the truth, but he did tweet this a couple of days ago:
My hair is going back to its normal color tomorrow ?
— Ryan Lochte (@RyanLochte) August 16, 2016
Oh, that’s good. How can authorities get him now? The douche in the video has silver hair and Ryan is brown-haired now. Ryan really outwitted them. I take back my sarcastic comment above. Ryan really is a criminal genius.

They declined to say what new information they had received. A 911 call that came in reporting the killing also remained sealed by court order.
The 19-year-old sophomore was found dead in her off-campus apartment September 7 by her roommate. On Tuesday, investigators said the pair had returned from a Chapel Hill nightclub very early that morning.
They also said they found DNA evidence left by a male suspect in the apartment and have worked with the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit to develop a profile of that person.
Police said they're still looking for any new information they can learn about the case. Call the Chapel Hill Police Department tip line at (919) 614-6363 or Crimestoppers at (919) 942-7515. Calls to Crimestoppers are confidential. Tips and information can also be emailed to investigators at email@example.com .
Reward money in the case has steadily built in the months since Hedgepeth's death. The total available for information leading to an arrest and conviction is now $39,000.

KNOXVILLE — Police charged a judge on the Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals with drunken driving after stopping him late Monday on Cumberland Avenue.
Jerry Lynn Smith, 58, of Nashville was arrested shortly before midnight on charges of drunken driving and violating the implied consent law, said Knoxville Police Department spokesman Darrell DeBusk.
Police Sgt. Ray Offenbacher stopped the 2010 Subaru Forester that Smith was driving in the 1800 block of Cumberland Avenue, DeBusk said.
"The rear hatch was open and luggage was about to fall out," DeBusk said of the reason for stopping the judge's SUV.
Smith exhibited classic symptoms of drinking alcoholic beverages — slurred speech, unsteady and blood shot eyes — and refused to submit to a blood test.
Smith was ordered released on his own recognizance after he was sober, records show.

Back in the U.S., I saw Belgian endive
slowly make its way into supermarkets.
Chicories such as radicchio, Belgian endive
and escarole, as well as sorrel and loose-leaf lettuces, are good sources of vitamin A.
As the second course, spinach, radicchio and belgian endive
salad with tomatoes, pistachios, pecorino romano cheese and basil pesto vinaigrette.
On the evening we ate there, the menu featured foie gras raviolis in a truffle sauce, tempura-fried lobster tail in a Belgian endive
salad, spiced beef fillet with candied leeks and roasted shallots, and a strange-sounding but eminently tasty dessert of glazed stuffed cherry tomatoes and vanilla ice cream.
The meal will begin with a country pork terrine with Oregon truffles followed by a puree of chestnut soup with apple-currant relish and a salad of watercress, Belgian endive
CHICORY ORANGE AND WELSH BLUE CHEESE SALAD Serves fourIngredients four heads chicory (Belgian endive
) one stick celery, finely chopped two carrots, finely chopped one onion, finely chopped four oranges, peeled 100g (4oz) blue cheese, cubed six tablespoons white wine three tablespoons water one bay leaf one teaspoon sugar salt and pepper to taste a little olive oil to sauteTo serve: mixed salad leaves and a handful of toasted pinenuts, pecans or walnutsMethod Heat oil in a pan and saute celery, carrot and onion for three to four minutes.

Their expanded menu features dishes such as belgian endive

He likes horsemeat, suggests that you balance the sweetness of the flesh with Belgian endive
, which is bitter and salty.
One we use often at the Savoy is Belgian endive
. Although it has a brilliant shape and looks unique, I find it is a big let down, very bitter and unpleasant.
Witloof (said to be a translation for white-leaf) chicory is also called Belgian endive
or French endive (Cichorium endiva) is a close relative of chicory.
"Is it really necessary for someone to know which fork to use with Belgian endive
or how to address the Duchess of Kent at the Wimbledon reception?" No, of course not; though such tidbits of knowledge certainly don't hurt and may be no less illuminating than numerous others that could be culled from our scholar's social science textbooks.

Saturday October 15 saw people all over the world occupy their cities to let everyone know they are not just going to sit back and let the crappy economic system carry on the way it is. They gathered in solidarity for the people in New York that have been camping in parks for a month. They gathered for themselves, and more importantly they gathered for the ones that don’t have an easy time having their voice heard.
I have it easier than many, I’m white, I have a supportive family, I have enough money to live on, I live in New Zealand. I support a welfare system because I know that not everyone has had the same chances in life as I have. I support it because I know that sometimes people are made redundant and have to support their families while looking for new work. I support it because childcare is expensive. I support it because I support human rights.
I am sick of hearing people refer to benefit fraud and dole bludgers All. The. Time. Do these people know there is a fraud intellegence team in the social welfare department set up to catch this stuff? Do they know that the percentage of fraud proportional to benefits paid is just 0.10%. Do they know that 2009s $16 million dollars in benefit fraud is what NZers spend per day on impulse buys? And do they know that the amount of tax not paid by business owners with creative accounts is an insanely bigger number? Not to mention the $1.7 billion Government bail out of Canterbury Finance last year.
Have a think about what you stand for. Are people more important than money?

Enjoy a day along the bike trail and find some caches as you go. This one will should be fairly simple although depending on the time of year it may be a bit more difficult to due plant growth. I enjoy biking and snowmobiling along this section as there is such a variety of things to watch as you go along here, so as you go along take time to relax and enjoy the changing scenery.
The marsh along the trail provides a great habitat for all kinds of life hopefully you get to see some as you take in the trail.

Henry Bellingham welcomes Somaliland’s elections
29 June 2010
UK Minister for Africa Henry Bellingham said ‘the process has so far been peaceful, and an example of the restraint that has contributed to Somaliland’s stability in recent years.’
Henry Bellingham, Minister for Africa, said:
‘I welcome the important Presidential elections held in Somaliland on Saturday 26 June. The process has so far been peaceful, and an example of the restraint that has contributed to Somaliland’s stability in recent years.
I acknowledge the professional work done by the National Electoral Commission, and commend the parties for the peaceful campaigning that preceded election day. I urge all political parties to continue to respect the process and wait for the National Electoral Commission to announce the results. The UK looks forward to continuing to work closely with Somaliland, whichever party wins.’

Who is she?
A 17-year-old British actor.
17? She can't have done much yet.
Not a great deal, the obligatory appearance in Casualty. She also played a younger version of Natalie Portman's character in V For Vendetta.
It wasn't so long ago that Natalie Portman was playing the young versions of her own characters. What else?
Poots is about to hit our screens as one of the leads in the forthcoming toxic zombies sequel, 28 Weeks Later.
Is an action-packed horror movie a suitable place for a young English actor?
She can hold her own in that department. Poots is a member of the Youngblood Theatre Company, an organisation known as much for its stage fights and stunts training as it is for acting.
Her unusual name should at least make her stand out in the credits.
Normally, yes, but she has been beaten in those stakes by her younger co-star, one Mackintosh Muggleton.
Will she be sticking around for a sequel?
28 Months Later, perhaps? There's no guarantee anyone will make it through this movie. With two strong genre credits, though, Poots won't be short of a fanbase.

Yet that’s exactly the position he finds himself in. As a member of the power-pop band The Click Five, whose debut album drops this week, he’s become a megastar to the TRL and Teen People magazine crowd.
The Click Five’s hit single, “Just The Girl,” is a sugary-sweet concoction that booms from the radio like The Knack did a generation ago.
During a recent phone interview, between stops on the Backstreet tour, Zehr said he’s aware of, but not concerned by, a possible backlash from older fans turned off by the group’s matching suits and screaming fans.
“We’ve opened for Fleetwood Mac and Rod Stewart, too,” he said, “and they draw a much older crowd, of course. But we can still get them because we have our suit thing going on, we have our strong melodies going on and that grabs a lot of different age groups. It could still happen, but we haven’t really had a lot of stumbling blocks because of the whole teen craze thing. We’re really fortunate.”
The Click’s album features contributions from the Cars’ Elliott Easton and Kiss’ Paul Stanley, who co-wrote one of the tracks, “Angel To You (Devil To Me).”
While being featured in teen magazines and being asked his favorite color and favorite type of girls is baffling — “Those kinds of questions are actually pretty hard,” he said — the upside for the band is huge. They sold 20,000 copies of an EP after touring with Ashlee Simpson and their single was the third most-added song in pop radio last week.
Their music isn’t the typical Top 40 blather, either: Their sweet harmonies are matched by hooks and riffs with a gritty edge. Reflecting that sensibility, the band tapped veteran producer Mike Denneen, who’s worked with Fountains Of Wayne, Aimee Mann and Howie Day, among others.
Still, being the darlings of the MTV set wouldn’t be complete without a Hard Day’s Night-style story of adoring fans.
“We’ve had a pretty steady stream of swamping stories ever since the Ashlee Simpson tour,” Zehr said. “The best one was the first one. We were at Universal City. We’d just played the Universal City Amphitherater and finished our set and were going to go sign autographs. We had to walk through this house to get to where we were going to sign, and as soon as we walked in the house, it was like aaaagh! The whole crowd started running towards us. We had to run up these stairs and the crowd followed us and we were pressed up against this glass. Security had to come and extract us from this sea of people. It was just insane.
“When they finally got the crowd contained, we could see our parents were standing there watching us, watching this insanity go on.”
