HTML::BarGraph is a module that creates graphics for one or more datasets, using plain HTML and, optionally, one-pixel images, which are stretched using the width and height attributes of the HTML img tag.
Multiple customization options are provided, such as the maximum bar length, bar colors etc.
The main subroutine, graph(), returns the HTML code for a graphic, and it accepts the following paramaters to define the graphic to be drawn:
Default: h. This arg indicates the orientation of the graphic bars (horizontal, h or -, or vertical, v or |).
Optional arg to specify the minimum size of the graph in the direction of bar length; this can be used to get a consistent size when multiple graphics are displayed.
Default: html. This arg indicates whether the color bars should be build as HTML tables with a certain width, height and bgcolor, or out of a pixel image (value pixel) "stretched" with the width and hight attributes of img tag.
Default: 100. This arg indicates the length of the bar (in pixels) for the maximum value to be represented in the graphic.
This arg indicates the width of a graphic's bar. If this arg is missing, it is calculated based on barlength and baraspect (using their default values if they are missing too).
Default: 0.5. This arg indicates the aspect between the graphic bar's width and length. If both barwidth and baraspect are set, barwidth is used.
Default: blue. This arg indicates the default color to be used in drawing the graphic's bars for a single dataset representation (see also colors).
Default: color. This arg should be an arrayref to a list of colors to be used in displaying the bars for multiple dataset graphs. If this arg is missing, the bars for all datasets will be displayed in color color. If the number of colors is smaller then the number of datasets to be represented, the values are "recycled". See also the Note for color argument.
Optional argument to indicate the directory where the color pixel files are located; for web scripts, this will have to be relative to the htdocs dir. This argument is ignored unless bartype is set to pixel.
Default: PNG. Optional argument to indicate the graphic format of the color pixel files; the lc() of this argument's value is used as pixel file's extension (eg for PNG files, pixel files will be colorname.png. This argument is ignored unless bartype is set to pixel.
This is a required arg, and should contain the datasets to be represented in the graphic. It should be passed as arrayref of scalars (one set) or arrayrefs (multiple sets).
If this arg is present, it should indicate the tags that should be used to identify the values in datasets. It should be an arrayref to a list of scalars, with at least that many elements as the number of elements in the largest dataset.
Default: true. If true, this arg indicate that a space should be inserted to separate the consecutive representations of datasets, for a cleaner view. It is set to false on single set representations.
This arg has effect only for a single dataset representation, and only when tags is present as well (when dataset has no tags, see highlightpos). It can be an arrayref or scalar. If present, its values are compared with tags values, and in case it matches one exactly, the color of the correspondent bar will be set to highlightcolor , if specified (see below). If both highlighttag and highlightpos are specified, highlightpos is ignored.
This arg has effect only for a single dataset representation. It can be an arrayref or scalar. If present, the color of the correspondent 1-indexed position(s)in data will be set to highlightcolor, if specified (see below). If both highlighttag and highlightpos are specified, highlightpos is ignored.
Default: red. This arg has effect only when highlighttag or highlightpos has effect (see above).
Default: true. If true, the addalt attribute is added to the HTML img tag, having as value the value that is represented on the bar.
Default: true. If true, tags are displayed along the base axis, if provided.
Default: true. If true, the values are displayed at the end of each bar.
If showvalues is true, any text string assigned to this argument will be displayed after the max value.
If showvalues is true, any text string assigned to this argument will be displayed before the max value.
Default: undef. This arg sets the type of border the whole graph will be surrounded by. Valid values are flat (a frame of borderwidth width and bordercolor color will be drawn around the graphic, using <table> on <table> technique) or reised (the border attribute of the HTML table will be set to borderwidth value) (see below).
Default: black. This arg has effect only when bordertype is set to flat, and it indicates the color for the graph's frame). The value of this arg can be a "well-known" color name (ie white, black etc) or the RGB value, as specified in the HTML spec.
Default: 3 for bordertype set to flat, and 1 for reised. This arg has effect only when bordertype is set, and it indicates the width of the graph's border, in pixels.
Default: white. This arg indicates the background color of the graph area. See format of color args at bordercolor.
Default: black. This arg indicates the font color of tags and values.
This arg indicates a string to be displayed as the title of the graph.
Default: textcolor. This arg only has effect when title is specified, and indicates the font color of title.
Default: center. This arg only has effect when title is specified, and it indicates the justification of the title on the graph. Other valid values are left and right.
Default: TimesRoman. This arg indicates the font face to be used in the text displayed in the graph. The title is displayed using size +2, the tags and axis labels (see below) in normal size, and the max values at the head of graph bars in -1.
This args indicate the labels to be displayed on the base (x) and values (y) axis of the graph. Note: for a horizontal graph, the names of the axes are reversed as normal (ie the x axis is the vertical one).
Default: center. This arg only has effect when a xlabel is specified, and it indicates the justification of the xlabel on the graph. Other valid values are left and right.
Default: middle. This arg only has effect when a ylabel is specified, and it indicates the justification of the ylabel on the graph. Other valid values are top and bottom.
Default: black. This arg indicates a color for the xlabel and ylabel text.
Default: bgcolor. This arg indicates a background color for the row and column that contain the xlabel and ylabel.
alternate background color for dataset rows/cols
accept a formatting string for max values (for sprintf)
support same size bars: ######___ 66%
ranges in tags, and highlighttag/highlightpos to fit in a range
accept args to specify the text height for title, tags, max vals
trick so that ALT attrib of IMG tags are displayed in netscape/linux
support for negative values (1 col/row for +, 1 col/row for -)
implement an object oriented interface
use HTML table building modules?
test in IE
in several cases, the bars are not perfectly aligned (left for 'h' and bottom for 'v') and the values are written on the next line for 'h' graphics
values are not middle "valigned" for 'h'/'bgcolor' graphics

“There is no such proposal under consideration,” FO spokesperson Aisha Farooqui said at the weekly media briefing.
The thought about the merger had been doing the rounds for a little over six weeks now. It started with comments attributed to AJK Prime Minister Farooq Haider Khan that he had been told that he would be the last prime minister of the autonomous region. The rumors grew after the AJK government renamed one of the bureaucracy’s service group.
There were also rumors about the change in the status of Gilgit- Baltistan. The spokesperson dismissed that too as “media speculation”.


"Excision" is technically polished juvenilia that provokes without resonance.
Fox Searchlight has closed an estimated $6 million deal to acquire worldwide rights to "The Surrogate," a drama starring John Hawkes, Helen Hunt and William H. Macy.

Life had taken over the past month, and I had kind of forgotten I had a blog. I had drafted some posts, but forgotten to schedule them. I won’t waste the posts, so here are the rest of my posts on Tokyo, Japan.
I would begin my account of Day 3 in Tokyo with the following picture I took :
Well, if you’re wondering what that was about, here is some info on the subject under scrutiny: Japanese toilets. Japanese are quite manic about cleanliness and hygiene, which are not necessarily bad things, but you get the picture. Massage? Front? Back? They got it all. Thankfully the one I had at my hotel was less hi-tech, and er…’convenient’! If you’ve seen the video I linked, you know more about their “toilet control panels.” Ahem. Enough said.
At Tokyu Hands, I had to keep waving in front of all the walls, before a gleaming panel emerged, with a number of buttons rivaled only by a cockpit. Well, at least I was able to flush.
Once I got over the stupefaction of its high-tech loos, Tokyu hands was a delight. Especially the stationery section. Trust me, you want to go there. I went crazy buying pens, organizers, envelopes, and letter-writing sets.
The Takashimaya mall was my next stop, but since I’d already frequented one during my stay in Singapore, it had nothing new to offer.
By the time I found my way back to the hotel, I realized it was time to set off again, this time to Akihabara, the Tokyo destination for all kinds of gadgets, new and used. Multi-colored neon-signs beckoned us into tiny, but multiple-storied shops.
My husband and his colleagues proceeded to drool, while I bought myself a handy voice recorder, which can transfer MP3 files to my Mac. I can now repeat my tutor’s Italian lessons ad nauseam.
The interesting bit was the geek bar, though, in front of which pretty young girls dressed in Victorian-maid-inspired costumes were holding big placards in Japanese, presumably welcoming the geeks that frequent this part of the city. I requested a waitress to pose for a picture, and she obliged.
Day 3 in Tokyo came to an end at a restaurant which only serves Unagi, i.e, eel, eaten in a variety of ways, with rice and condiments. Yum.
Stay tuned for Day 4 in Tokyo.


From Sonic Retro
Shield Hunter, シールドハンター, is a GUN robot that appears in some of the stages of Sonic Adventure 2 and part of the Hunter series. Its either a Gun Hunter or a Laser Hunter, both with a large physical red with the number 02 emblazed on them. When the Hunter is using it, the only way to destroy it is to either summersalt its legs or hit it from behind. When the Hunter is not using the shield, it will use its laser cannon and it can be then destroyed as any normal Hunter. There's a second model, carrying the same red shield but with the 01 emblazed instead, appearing exclusively in Crazy Gadget. There's yet another model, carrying a black shield instead (and being 02), and they appear exclusively in Security Hall. Neither of the latter seem to have different behaviours from the default one. Every model award 200 points when destroyed.


Lebanese security forces bust ISIS cell fronting as a fake football team
:: Lebanon’s security force arrested an ISIS cell fronting as a fake football team on Wednesday, as well as three Syrian members of the terrorist group in Beirut, Lebanon’s The Daily Star reported.
The three members’ were forming a network operating inside Lebanon in favor of the terrorist organization by recruiting as many young men (Syrians and Lebanese) as possible to form cells affiliated with ISIS.
They began their activities to recruit a number of young men by attracting them under the guise of forming a football team and some sports activities, which were interspersed with religious lessons centered on the ideas of the extremist organization.
After the completion of the investigation, they were referred to the necessary judiciary and work is underway to arrest the rest of those involved.

Human HEK293 cells
Expression TrueORF Clone
TIGIT Full-Length MS Protein Standard (NP_776160), Labeled with [U- 13C6, 15N4]-L-Arginine and [U- 13C6, 15N2]-L-Lysine, was produced in human 293 cells (HEK293) with fully chemically defined cell culture medium to obtain incorporation efficiency at Creative-Proteomics. This gene encodes a member of the PVR (poliovirus receptor) family of immunoglobin proteins. The product of this gene is expressed on several classes of T cells including follicular B helper T cells (TFH). The protein has been shown to bind PVR with high affinity; this binding is thought to assist interactions between TFH and dendritic cells to regulate T cell dependent B cell responses.

Sorry for contacting you just before the application deadline. I Hope it's not too late to apply for this super cool project in GSoC!
I am a 3rd year CS student from Southern University of Science and Technology, China, and I'm currently an exchange student at UC, Berkeley. This semester I took CS162 Operating System course at Berkeley, which made me obsessed with the operating system. But since I do not have any real-world project experience, I believe it's better to start with an easy-level project, hence I feel like applying for this project. My basic information is as follows, and my CV is attached.
About your project
What is the goal of the project? (Short overview)
Accumulate open-source development experience, and learn how to work on a real-world project.
What will be the deliverables of the project? (Code, documentation, ...)
There will be a draft design document before coding period, and a revised version of document at each evaluation point.
There will be a final document at the final evaluation, and a final version of code.
Give an overview of how you intend to reach the project's goal in the form of milestones and a schedule.
Now - June 13, familiarize myself with NetBSD environment and investigate the source code of Inetd, as well as similar functions in other OSs.
June 13 - June 29, work on Prefork and Per service configuration file
June 30 - July 25, work on rate limiting features and logging improvements
Before Phase 1 Evaluation, try finishing the primary features.
July 25 - Sep 5 Based on the previous process, select advanced features to implement.
At final evaluation, try finishing at least two of the advanced features.
Is similar software already available elsewhere, e.g. for Linux or any other BSD?
Yes, replacements of Inetd include xinetd and launchd on Mac OS, and rlinetd on distributions of Linux.
Is the project a port of software, or a rewrite? (remember: No GPL in the NetBSD kernel!)
I think it's a port of software.
About your project and NetBSD
If your working area is the core NetBSD operating system: have you installed NetBSD and made first experiences with hands-on configuration?
Have you rebuilt the kernel and the userland, either in full or in parts?
No, I haven't, but I will try to do that as soon as possible.
Have you found the relevant places that your project is based on in the source code, and read through it?
Yes I have found it, it's at src/usr.sbin/inetd/inetd.c, but I haven't read through, I will try as soon as possible.
How will your project integrate into NetBSD? (Userland tool, kernel subsystem, driver, patch set, pkgsrc, ...)
I think my work will be to add features to an existing software, so I do not need to integrate on my own.
What interfaces in NetBSD will your project use? (Go into details here! What module/file names, functions, data structures etc. are of relevance for your project?
To what degree are you familiar with those interfaces? (not/some/very, details?)
Most of the changes will be in the file src/usr.sbin/inetd/inetd.c
For Prefork, change spawn(struct servtab *sep, int ctrl) I plan to maintain a process pool in the spawn function.
For Per service configuration, change getnetconfigent() and set the config and set the configuration for each service. I thinks it can be realized by maintaining a map from service to config file.
For other features, I haven't dive deeply into them due to the application deadline. But I will soon after the application.
I have just started, so I'm not very familiar with them, but I think they are sort of straightforward.
Is knowledge on other topics required for this project, e.g. on hardware, software other than NetBSD, APIs, protocols, etc.? If so, give details and references.
I think understanding how computer networks work will be helpful to this project.
To what degree are you familiar with those? (not/some/very, details?)
I have taken computer networking course in FA2021, and I got A+ in that course. I have experience in socket programming with both Python and C/C++.
If the project involves hardware (e.g. writing drivers, doing a port to new hardware, ...): do you own the hardware or have access to?
Can you list some prior projects that you have worked on so far? Include details like programming language, duration, number of people involved, project goal, if you used CVS, SVN or similar, and whatever else we may find thrilling! If you have a CV/resume online, feel free to include a link.
Do you have any prior experience with programming NetBSD? In what area? If you did send some problem reports (PRs) or patches, please include references.
Have you previously discussed your project within NetBSD, either on a mailing list or with some specific developers? If so, please give us either the names/email addresses of those developers or point us towards the discussions on our list (via http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/).
How do we contact you for question, comments, suggestions, etc.?
Or you can provide other platforms and I will register.
Is there anything else you'd like us to know? Did we forget any important details or questions?
I have a question regarding the project: Do we have a test suite for this project that can perform a sanity check? If not, how can I check if my program runs correctly? Thanks.

I have a habit of burning bridges and sinking boats. My impetuous nature causes me to make hasty decisions. To leave a group suddenly. To delete a hundred files. To speak my mind too freely. To be cynical in the midst of a frenzy of adoration. And ultimately, at my turning away, all my companions turn away too, tired of my abrupt reversals. In the end, there is no love lost: better to abandon the impulsive one and his frequent about-turns, as he burns yet another bridge and puts up another wall. Why invest any more time in our ferocious friend, they ask themselves, when he will ultimately just let us down? My friends have my sympathy: I can barely tolerate myself either.

Eight hundred and thirty years ago to the day, on 2 October 1187, Salah al-Din al-Ayubbi liberated Jerusalem from Crusader forces after an 88 year occupation of the city. Muslims everywhere rejoice, dreaming of such a hero for today. The world is awaiting another Salah al-Din, chant the masses: a great warrior; an honest leader; a brave Muslim!
Whenever any kind of crisis occurs in the Muslim community, it becomes clear almost immediately that we are incapable of responding justly. If the person or group accused of wrongdoing is from our own sect, school, madrassa or tariqah — or is simply our friend — we will give them their seventy excuses without a moment’s pause. If not, then not a moment will be wasted in attacking them. We are uninterested in justice. We are only interested in the dominance of our side.
Nearly four years ago I wrote of a vast and complex edifice I had engineered, which towered high above me; my conscience told me to pull it down, but a battle raged within. Over the years and months that followed, I sent in demolition repeatedly, only to build it back up again within weeks or months. What was once a hideous carbuncle became normalised, pushing me further and further from my Lord.
Leave him alone with his heresies, they say. Banish him; send him away. Ignore him and do not reply. He has gone too far this time. Don’t feed the opinionated troll, who knows not of what he speaks. Yes, it’s lonely being the heretic of your time. Be silent, they demand. Be quiet.
If only I had not opened that door: to possibilities previously ignored.

All The Awesomeness Happening Behind The Scene
Love needs to first come for you. It has to be an internal manifestation first. Only when you truly love yourself you will grow from being a seeker of love to a giver. It will empower you.
While clouds blotted out the view in most other places in India, the century's most spectacular total eclipse of the Sun was witnessed in full glory in holy Benaras. It was a sight to behold. The city was suddenly clothed in a surreal glow of faint light that was eerie, exhilarating and nothing like most had ever seen before.
A style guide to go #twinning with the #AmericanFlag on The 4th of July. Celebrate #IndependenceDay in style. We select cool products you can wear to celebrate America's Independence Day.
What do you do when Love gives you a second chance...? Do you feel scared and run away from it or be brave and grab it with both arms and embrace it in a hug......Tammi and Dori have broken stereotypes - fought against society and finally won and got married - here is their story.
I have always written about how wonderful it would be to run into your would be spouse at a cafe or bookstore, just like they do in the movies (are you done with rolling your eyes..?)
Love is love...no matter who you dedicate it to. As long as its giving and caring...and makes the world a happier place. Does it then matter if it's by a man for a man...?
In Freddy's word - doesn't matter how or where you meet - what matters is where you take it to...

Hello! I’m Nikki, and welcome to my blog, where I try to record my current life adventures. These deal with “making” of all sorts – primarily sewing, quilting, cooking and even some woodworking – and with traveling about with the “spousal unit” (aka “the Hubs”) and usually with the wacky dog, Silly Sophie. I think the title sums up my feelings pretty well.
Of course, if you are one of the circle of family and friends with whom I’ve shared the link to this blog; then you don’t really need this “About” page. You already know that one purpose of this blog is to allow me to talk to you about my adventures, and perhaps accomplishments, now that I’m retired.
If you don’t have a clue who I am, and just stumbled on this blog by accident, please feel free to look around! Maybe one of my projects will be interesting to you, or will have some technique or idea that is helpful. That is my hope, at any rate. If I’ve helped, leave me a comment and let me know; or ask a question about what I did, and I’ll do my best to answer.
As you’ve read, I’m retired, which naturally means I’m a bit on the older side of life. That also means, in my case, that I’m working like crazy to stuff as much fun into life as I can, while I still can. For me, that means going places and doing things. I’m not a great one for sitting still, or watching hours of television or movies, and even though I love reading, and can only do it for so long before I need to take a break and “do” something. (No, I am not ADHD, or any other kind of hyperactive. I’m just “normal” active – really.)
My professional life focused on supporting computers and software within a college. One thing that environment teaches a person is that life is change; constant, sometimes welcome, sometimes dreaded, sometimes overwhelming change. I quite liked that aspect of the IT world (“overwhelming” notwithstanding), and I’m really curious about the changes I’m going to experience over the remainder of my life. That is another reason for this blog.
I’m keeping a brief record of some of the things I do and experience, so that I’ll be able to see the change when I look back at this blog. If not for that goal, I could just share these projects and adventures with family and friends through Facebook or Google+ or any of the other “social media”. That just isn’t enough for me. I need to be able to comment on things, and to reflect on “life, the universe and everything”* as it is experienced through doing creative things and going places; therefore this blog.
So, family, friend or total stranger: Welcome. I hope the projects and adventures are at least entertaining to you. If you have reflections on my reflections, please feel free to use the comment feature. Thinking improves with sharing. And thanks for stopping by.
*Extra points to anyone who knows the source for that reference. You are either also on the older side of life, or a reader of uncommon breadth. Either way, you deserve extra credit.

Struggling to compete with the massive waves of support Biden is receiving from donors big and small—including at the President's recent headline-making, star-studded NY fundraising event—Trump is now leaning heavily on that most reliable source of GOP cash: fascist-friendly billionaires.
As The Washington Post reported on March 29, Trump is winning back the support of a group of aging billionaires who swore they would never vote for Trump again after his violent January 6 coup attempt.
Having thought about it some more, these flip-flopping fat cats have decided they would prefer to end democracy, destroy the planet, and condemn their granddaughters to a Handmaid's Tale-future if the alternative is paying slightly higher taxes.
The "greedy grandpas of the GOP" who are pledging cash and support for Trump in 2024 include:
- Activist food industry investor Nelson Peltz, 81.
- Entertainment mogul Isaac Perlmutter, 81
- Sugar baron José Fanjul, 80
- Hotel owner and aerospace entrepreneur Robert Bigelow, 79
- Oil tycoon Harold Hamm, 78
- Big-data billionaire (and funder of the 2016 anti-Hillary psy ops campaign) Bob Mercer, 77
- NY supermarket king John Catsimidis, 75
Trump—and his lawyers—are happily welcoming these unprincipled billionaires back into the GOP fold because, after all, there are only so many $60 Bibles and gold-painted sneakers that Trump's exhausted MAGA cult members can possibly buy.
Laughing at the poorly educateds
Some of the greedy grandpas re-opening their checkbooks for Trump in 2024 were likely within earshot of Trump as he yukked it up with friends at Mar-a-Lago in December 2017.
That's when Trump, celebrating the passage of his debt-exploding tax cuts, told his assembled guests, "You all just got a lot richer."
Meanwhile, the Trump tax cuts did little for the rest of us. Even before the Trump-induced Covid Collapse of 2020, the second and third years of Trump's failed first term were marked by failures on infrastructure, slowing job growth, a manufacturing recession, the worst farm crisis since the 1980s, and rising poverty in many Trump-voting counties.
In the Biden years, many of the billionaires now in Trump's corner—especially those in the food and energy sectors—have seized every opportunity to contribute to inflation (and inflame anti-Biden sentiment) through merciless price gouging.
We should no longer be surprised that billionaires who have built their wealth by gobbling up corporate welfare and government incentives, exploiting workers, and poisoning our air and water would continue to support Trump. These guys—they're almost all guys—have always supported policies that prioritize short-term advantages for the already-rich over investments in areas like education, healthcare and environmental protection.
But we can still be outraged by the fact that Trump's April 6 fundraiser will be co-chaired by another "greedy grandpa," the 82-year-old serial predator and former foreign agent Steve Wynn—who allegedly sexually harassed and assaulted women for decades and secretly worked for China during the last Trump administration. (For more on Wynn, read my article: Mocking the Me-Too Movement.)
Old men with outdated views about women and minorities shouldn't be allowed to dictate America's future
The calendar says it's 2024.
But across America—from the halls of Congress to the Supreme Court to America's C-suites to social media platforms to corporate media to the GOP donor class—the levers of power are still mostly in the hands of wealthy men who are disproportionately white and increasingly out-of-touch with the needs of the bottom 99%.
Trump himself is a racist, sexist, psychopathic man-child who spent most of his adult life cheating, stealing, scamming, feuding, insulting, and pussy-grabbing without facing any real consequences for his actions.
- He remains the most unrepentant sex criminal in America.
- His fines for sexual assault, defamation and fraud already top half a billion dollars.
- He still faces four separate criminal trials on 88 felony charges.
- Time after time, his ability to lie, bluff or bribe his way out of trouble only encouraged his criminal ambitions.
The "greedy grandpas of the GOP" who will gather at Mar-a-Lago on April 6 don't care about any of that.
They support Trump because they're just like him—selfish, intolerant, and stuck in the past, with no intention of ever updating their personal hard drives.
Like Trump, these old geezers have no new political ideas. No solutions to America's problems. No real vision for the future. They're happy with the status quo, locked into their outdated views about "the Blacks" and "the gays"—and content to watch men like Trump and Steve Wynn insult and abuse women with impunity.
These are not "conservatives" holding their noses to vote reluctantly for Trump.
They're showering him with cash in the full knowledge of how despicable and depraved he is.
Because they're just like him.
American democracy—and the future direction of the country, including education, healthcare, voting rights, women's rights, and LGBTQ rights—shouldn't be for sale to men like these.

Mark Thomas - The editor and big chief of The Dubrovnik Times. Born in the UK he has been living and working in Dubrovnik since 1998, yes he is one of the rare “old hands.” A unique insight into both British and Croatian life and culture, Mark is often known as just “Englez” or Englishman. He is a traveller, a current affairs freak and a huge AFC Wimbledon fan.
The first interventions in the so called “bikini law” were taken this week with security guards warning tourists on the new dress code regulations now in force inside the Old City of Dubrovnik. Instead of fining these first offenders the guards decided to warn them to cover up rather than fine them.
To remind you of the new regulations, if you are now caught “wearing swimwear or inappropriately uncovered” on the public streets of the city you will have to pay a fine of 1,000 Kunas, or around 134 Euros. This so called “bikini ban” will mean all visitors to the city centre will have to cover up or pay up. Bare-chested men and bikini clad women are a thing of the past as a total of fifteen security guards will patrol the streets looking for flesh-baring law breakers.
The new set of regulations also includes a ban on riding bikes, throwing cigarette butts, walking dogs without a leash and the use of sound amplifiers for music and entertainment programs. The 1,000 Kuna fine will be reduced to 500 Kuna if paid on the spot.
It is a weekend of vocal groups, or Klapa, in Cavtat with a festival of these harmonious melodies this weekend. This is the 17th year in a row that this festival has been held and this year will see ten vocal groups from all over Croatia perform.
Organised by the Konavle Tourist Board and the Klapa Ragusavecchia the festival opens on the 3rd of September at 8.30pm on the terrace of the Villa Banac in Cavtat. The opening night is a bumper one with nine different vocal groups performing. And then on Sunday the 4th of September the vocal group “Iskon” will perform. Entrance to both evenings is free of charge.
Klapa music is a form of traditional a cappella singing in Dalmatia, Croatia. The word Klapa translates as "a group of friends" and traces its roots to littoral church singing. In 2012 Klapa was inscribed in UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
As in previous years, this year the Tourist Board of the city of Zagreb will also offer its citizens free sightseeing tours of the city.
Starting from the 3rd of September till the 5th of November all interested parties will have the opportunity to learn more about the Croatian capital and their native city. Departures of the city tour are planned for Saturdays at 5 pm in front of the Tourist Information Centre at the Ban Jelacic Square.
Educational sightseeing of the city with a tourist guide will last for two hours, whilst groups will be accompanied by a mascot Licitarko. Each participant of the city tour will receive ''licitarsko srce'' or the ''licitar heart'' as a gift. This colourfully decorated biscuit is a traditional symbol of Zagreb made of sweet honey dough in various shapes.
In 2010, UNESCO added the Gingerbread craft from Northern Croatia to the "Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage" for Croatian culture.
The city tour will include visits to the Ban Jelacic Square, the Cathedral, the Dolac market, the Tkalciceva street, the Radiceva street as well as Gornji Grad (the Upper town) , where costumed characters from the Zagreb Time Machine can be seen.
Brad Pitt is in Croatia! One of the most famous actors in the world has been spotted in Sibenik, writes Sibenik.in. There is a photo proof too, where it is possible to see the actor casually walking around Sibenik, looking just like another tourist.
Pitt, still the dream of many ladies, is just one of the celebrities that has chosen Croatia for a vacation this year. It seems like his wife, Angelina Jolie and their five kids haven't come with him, but who knows, maybe they'll join him later on.
It's still not known where Pitt is staying or how long he'll be Croatia, but the news made Croatian fans really excited. Sibenik.in brings a story of a fan who called her husband to tell him that Pitt is Sibenik and he was searching for him to get an autograph. Apparently, he saw the actor getting on a yacht, so who knows, maybe he's coming to Dubrovnik next!
The Croatian art gallery PMS (Prostor manufakturne slobode) has entered the final selection of exhibitors for the 44th Design Festa Festival which is to be held in Japan this November.
Design Festa is the biggest international art event in Asia dedicated to art, performance, fashion, music and even international gastronomic scene, which is held every other year in the fantastic Tokyo's space called Tokyo Big Sight centre. It was founded in 1994 with the main goal of connecting and representing original artists from all over the world.
The art gallery PMS from Zagreb was founded in 2011 and since then it has promoted and gathered talented creative people and artists from Croatia. Their original handmade items have enriched the tourist offer of the attractive Tkalciceva Street in Zagreb and represent an ideal Croatian souvenir.
This is a great opportunity for Croatian artists to represent Croatia among 12,000 artists who will exhibit their original handmade craft on this Far East festival.
This year the very popular water pumps of the street art collection “Pimp My Pump” will be travelling to the famous festival in Tokyo as well as Shivam jewellery, Maya art, works by Masha Novak & Marta Grbesic, brands Driftwood, Fun Attic and many more.
Dubrovnik is one of the most photographed destinations in the world, every day thousands of snaps are published on social media sites and seen throughout the world; however this one really caught our eye.
Sofia Erhan from Bucharest, Romania added this photo to her Facebook account and within hours it had hundreds of likes. It is certainly one of the best photos we have seen of Dubrovnik for a long time...well done Sofia.
Dubrovnik will be the host for the fifth time to the young filmmakers from Mediterranean countries. The selection jury of the Dubrovnik Film Festival for children and youth of the Mediterranean countries, popularly known as Duff, announced the results of the selected films in all categories. The jury are: young Dubrovnik director, screenwriter and critic Luksa Benic, a film editor from Zagreb Nina Velnic and animator and graphic designer Tea Strazicic. They have selected a total of 82 films among the applicants for the competition program. Films will be shown in two age categories: 38 movies of children up to 15 years in all film genres, 31 movies of youth from 16 to 20 years and 13 films in a unique, open category.
Apart from the competition part of the program during the festival there will be the workshop and accompanying programs that will be led by professionals from the world of film. In addition to competitors from eight Mediterranean countries, young people of Dubrovnik will once again have the opportunity to get to know the world of animation, learn all about the sound, to record their first feature film or make their own first timelapse video. For high school students the film art classes will be organized.
Duff is for the fifth time organized by Dubrovnik Cinemas, the Association for the Promotion of media culture Luza and Summer School Film Sipan, with the partnership of the Dubrovnik Gymnasium, in the period from 17th to 23rd October for all events, or from 20th to 23rd October for the competitive program.
The Croatian Tourist Board has initiated a new and interesting promotional campaign titled ''Croatia Feeds'' during August, which is full of short, innovative and entertaining descriptions of popular Croatian destinations and tourist products.
This campaign will last till the 11th of September 2016 with the main goal of inspiring potential tourists in an original way, to opt for Croatian destinations for their next vacation. For this purpose a special website was designed which, apart from imaginative titles, contains numerous attractive photos.
Apart from the Croatian Tourist Board, in the creation of the campaign and its contents on the markets in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, also participated members of the Google creative team ''The ZOO'', which cooperates with numerous world brands and agencies. The main partner of this campaign is one of the leading international marketing agencies – BBDO.
''The campaign ''Croatia Feeds'' is completely different from our previous online campaigns. Banners with interesting and intriguing titles, together with a new branded logo and attractive photos are a guarantee for attracting users' attention and our potential tourists. We also have a new campaign website which provides optimal experience of simple, transparent and informative use to users. Our campaign can be found on Google browser and on Google Display Network. There are also some special PR activities which will accompany the entire project for which we believe will achieve great results'', said Ratomir Ivcic, the director of the Croatian Tourist Board.
According to first results, the campaign has been more than successful so far. For example, on the 26th of August there were more than 85 million impressions, mostly on the German market, whilst the campaign websites achieved more than 80,000 clicks. Considering the fact that the campaign is visible on the most popular web portals in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, it is expected that ''Croatia Feeds'' will achieve significantly higher numbers of impressions and website clicks till the 11th of September.

WW II US Tank Destroyer at Arlon

See also picture #211
The American M10 (picture #4503
) was the response to the German tank destroyers.
The open turret and the light armor made the tank destroyer faster than the M4 medium tanks, but because of that the M10 was often easily destroyed. Soon after the invasion this was clear and they replaced the M10 by the M36 tank destroyer "Jackson". They British continued fighting with there version of the M10 (above picture see picture #993
) until the end of the war because it was equiped with a better gun. (See picture #993

As you may be familiar from some of his past columns about his travels (Sevilla, Spain, Prague, New Zealand,etc.), Notes from Vivace always makes a point to try to locate the local music scene in each of the places he is exploring at one point or another during his trip.
On this vacation, I focused my pre-vacation planning in three areas. The first was to buy a computer tablet. I was tired of always going to an Internet café. I got super jealous after seeing my fellow travelers in Edinburgh surfing the web on their tablets in the hotel lobby. Now I could have gone with an iPad or a Samsung Galaxy tablet, but doing so would be contrary to my cheap nature (though I suppose my cheap nature disappears when it comes to camera equipment). I ended up purchasing an Amazon Kindle Fire at Best Buy. My second focus, as always, was to do some research into the local music scene. I came across a blog called “Going Local Travel” by Vicky Baker. She appeared to have a good grasp of the local music scene in Buenos Aires so I shot her an e-mail. I got a response with a nice list of bands to check out. I ended up checking out two of her suggestions along with a venue. So if you’ve come across this travel post, you just might enjoy Going Local Travel, as well. Also, finally for the first time on my various trips, I was planning on meeting up with a friend who was attending school in Buenos Aires.
As is my recent norm, my trip started on Black Friday — yes, I skipped the whole Black Friday shopping day (however, this didn’t prevent me from driving past a Best Buy on a Wednesday to look at folks camping out two days in advance of Black Friday, I find certain things amusing). My public transportation travel was rather mundane. The boring was observed such as just like my United Kingdom trip, I got to the Blue Line just as the train was pulling away (PLEASE WAIT FOR ME!!!). When the next train pulled up, I ended up in a car that had a plaque dedicated to Glendale, CA. When I got to the shuttle bus to LAX, it was filled with TSA employees.
I got to the airport in about two hours. And as I went through security, I was given an irate grunt when I forgot to take off my belt before going through the x-ray machine. When I got to the gate area, I decided to take out my new tablet and see if I could get any use out of it. I powered it up and came to the realization that I had to pay for Internet access at LAX. Forget that. I put it back into my carry-on.
An elderly gentleman approached, “Is that your computer?”
“Can you get WiFi?”
“No, they don’t have free WiFi. They have T-Mobile and you have to pay.”
He looked as disappointed as I did, “Most airports have free WiFi.”
“Not here,” I responding while thinking, he’s one world traveler and just as cheap as me.
He headed off and I heard him saying to his wife, “No free WiFi.”
My flight plan took me to Dallas Airport where there also wasn’t any free WiFi. This was also where I started to regret my purchase of the Kindle Fire (though I’m currently pleased with it –there are limitations to it, but what does one expect from a $200 purchase). I turned it on to check for free WiFi. No such luck. I then went through the most painful process of trying to shut down the stupid tablet. I started to feel really dumb not being able to shut down a $200 product. I actually started to look for a way to open it up and pull out the battery. When the time came to board the jet, the tablet must have gone through whatever internal gyrations it needed to go through, because it finally shut down.
Now one of the reasons why I chose to travel on Black Friday was because the last time I traveled on a Black Friday the international leg of the flight was only about a quarter full. This trip to Buenos Aires wasn’t as empty, but it was empty enough that I didn’t have someone sitting next to me.
As for the plane, I was disappointed. I had no personal seatback monitor like I’d grown used to on a handful of previous trips. I was looking forward to watching various movies and television shows and playing some games. A little entertainment for the long flight. No such luck. Instead, I was stuck watching the cabin flight movie, “Mr. Popper’s Penguins,” which is an awful movie and that was it.
I did get to witness some wheeling and dealing by the stewards.
There were three individuals in the second to the last row of the jet (I was in the third to the last row). One of the stewards asked, “Were you assigned these seats?”
“Hmm, usually these seats are left empty for us when the jet isn’t full.”
A few minutes later, the stewards were convincing them to move to another row – they really wanted that row for themselves. “It is too noisy back here. You should move up to those seats.” “Those seats” were one row up, which I’m sure made a world of difference in terms of noise pollution.
When I arrived in Argentina, there was a line specifically for U.S., Canadian and U.K. citizens. I figured it was a passport issue, but no. There was a $140 reciprocal fee. Now all is fair as since 9/11 America requires a similar tax on Argentinean visitors to the U.S. The problem was that I hadn’t read about that fact in the travel book that I’d purchased. Others also seemed caught by surprise. A guy in front of me mentioned what I was thinking, “The travel book I purchased didn’t mention anything about a reciprocal fee.” Perhaps we bought the same book. Hopefully, other folks were more aware of this reciprocal fee, because that is a large chunk of money for a family that might be off on a vacation. Anyways, I came to the realization later on (actually on the flight back to the US) that the fee was mentioned in my travel book. Yes, I am obsessive enough to look through a travel book post-issue. The problem was that it was mentioned only once. I would think one would mention it in multiply places. Like perhaps in the sections about the airport or “Before You Go” — my complaint about the book.
After paying my reciprocal fee, I followed directions from the book (okay, so the travel book was useful) and went to a booth where I bought a shuttle bus ticket into Buenos Aires. The bus had free WiFi so I finally got a chance to use my tablet. It worked out rather well. The bus dropped me off at a station and from there I was driven in a mini-van to my hotel. When I walked into my hotel room, I was shocked. It was the smallest hotel room I’ve ever stayed in. It was way smaller than the room I stayed in at London, which is known for small hotel rooms. And it was a bare bones room. A twin bed. A television that was smaller than my computer monitor. I was constantly hearing doors slamming and the whirl of the engine. The mini-bar refrigerator was broken. The door would not close and the motor had probably long ago burned out. The door had a window so the light came through from the hallway all night long. And I would soon learn that having a room next to the elevator was a bad thing. The elevator required you to manually open and close the door. It also was not fully enclosed. There was no way I could go to sleep before 2 a.m. and I was awake by 7 a.m. (when our complimentary breakfast was served). I will say that the bathroom was nice. I learned quickly that the staff was extremely friendly. One remembered my name the whole week. Another looked unapproachable, but when I asked for help she was more than helpful.
First impression of Argentina/Buenos Aires: It was a steamy hot day and it felt similar to a summer day on the East Coast.
I then headed off to get me some Argentinean pesos. A bank was just down the street from me and so I headed over to grab some money. I went to the door and it was locked. What? I’m sure there are parts of Los Angeles like this, but where I live I’m used to just walking up to an ATM. After a quick look, I noticed a card swipe to the side and took out my ATM card, hoping it would work. It did. I then proceeded into the room where there were various types of machines. Now which one was the ATM? I decided to go to one set of machines. I did have much luck with those. A couple walked in and headed to another set of machines. They motioned to me to use those machines and so I walked over – who knows what the function of those other machines were. I had read that you didn’t want to request $1,000, because you wouldn’t get any small bills. Instead, you wanted to type in a number like $995 so that you’d get smaller bills. I typed in a number, but was denied as with fees I had hit the withdrawal limit. I typed in another number and that attempt was successful. (Just to let you know, $1,000 Argentinean pesos is about $250 US.)
I took off for a little sightseeing. I went off to La Casa Rosada (Pink House, official executive mansion) or as my friend would later describe it, the Barbie House (a political statement, no doubt). I took a tour of the executive mansion. My first attempt at taking the tour wasn’t successful. I read that there was a tour that started at the front of the house. So I stood in the first room and I eventually noticed a group gathering. So I headed over and the tour guide was talking in Spanish, naturally. I soon came to the conclusion that this was a special tour. I looked around and noticed that folks were lining up at the other end of the room. Ah. I got in line and waited. When I got to the front, I was cut off as they had allowed the maximum number of folks into the tour. I noticed a discussion between those in front of me and the staffer. The folks in front of me then got out of line. I watched them go. They went to the side and talked to another staffer who handed them a slip of paper. Hmm. I got out of line and also went over to get a paper ticket. Then I got back into line. So when the next group was allowed through I got to see the famous Eva (“Evita”) Peron balcony.
From there I went to check out a cathedral that was down the street and then I went to a restaurant called Picnic. I got a veggie-burger, which was devoid of taste, but it worked to fill the stomach. From there I headed to the hotel for a nap.
When I woke up, it was time to head off to catch Bomba Estereo, a suggestion from Vicky Baker. They were playing at a venue called Club Niceto. Now here is where I was decidedly crazy. I decided to walk it. I figured it was good way to see Buenos Aires. And anyways, I didn’t have any loose change for a bus and I wasn’t sure how to use the Subte and I didn’t want to take a taxi as for some reason my travel book suggested that taking a taxi was considered a danger. The problem was that I didn’t realize that it was one long walk. Every fifteen minutes or so I’d look at the map and realize that based on the map I wasn’t progressing very quickly. Now I won’t tell you how long it took me to get to Club Niceto, because then it would obviously indicate my degree of stubbornness, but let’s just say if you ever are able to figure out how long it took me, you’ll call me crazy for sure.
As I was nearing the end of my walk, I was on Av Juan B. Justo. The side of the street I was walking on had a number of abandoned buildings, which actually caused me great concern regarding my safety (adding in the fact that I was the only one walking down this side of the street). I looked over to the other side and deemed it to be far safer. On the way back, I noticed a door guy opening a gate for a young lady who was exiting a tower for a taxi ride – she obviously was far more comfortable taking a taxi versus your writer.
I made it to the venue. The ticket was $110 ($27 US). The ticket gal spoke a little bit of English and she was able to convey to me that Bomba Estereo was going on at 10 p.m. I had made it to the venue at 9 p.m., but there was an opening band that hit the stage at 9:15.
Tremor was the opening band. There was a Latin flavor to their set. Drums. Flutes. But trust me, it wasn’t anything traditional like the music you catch when walking around Universal CityWalk. No, this was heart pounding rock. The main drummer had flair like the best entertaining guitarists/bassists in Los Angeles.
Noticed: Major photo pit action. For Bomba Estereo, I noticed seven photographers in the photo pit, most using Canons.
Forty-five minutes after Tremor finished their set, Bomba Estereo hit the stage led by Ms. Columbia’s version of Gwen Stafani. She bounced around the stage. The audience danced. She had us in the palm of her hands. And towards the end of their set, she tossed out roses to the audience.
Noticed: There were no smoking signs everywhere, but it didn’t seem to matter as folks were smoking right next to the signs. Or maybe they were smoking here signs . . .
The audience at Club Niceto was far more enthusiastic about the set than what you’ll see at The Satellite or Viper Room. And I’m not talking about just those who are hanging out at the front of the stage. There was dancing from the front of the stage all the way to the back wall. Now maybe Argentineans have one over us Angelinos when it comes to music enthusiasm, but I say we also have one over them. There was a demand for an encore but the screams didn’t last long. In the US, you know the audience wants that encore. Los Angeles may not dance around with such enthusiasm as those in Buenos Aires, but when we want an encore we demand an encore. I’m just saying.
Noticed: There were a lot of English words around Club Niceto. The band name Tremor. Blue 100.7FM. Lucky Strike. Wild at Heart t-shirt. And though not the English language, I did notice a lot of folks were wearing Levi’s and Van shoes.
It was back to the hotel via walking, arriving around midnight. A number of my Argentinean friends warned about thieves, but I felt safe enough as I walked home. As a travel book said, there were plenty of people on the streets.
Much of the day was spent hanging out with my friend. She spent a number of years in SoCal, which is where we met. She returned to Argentina to finish up her schooling. After she finishes up with her schooling, she’s heading (maybe at the same time that this is published) to France to be with her boyfriend who has a job in Ireland, but plans to transfer to France. Talk about international.
Anyways, we hung out at La Boca, a working class neighborhood with colorfully painted houses. Though colorful, it is poor. You can tell by the fact that many of the painted walls are just metal sidings. It must be hot in the summer and freezing in the winter. I suspect the colorfulness of the area makes it a tourist magnet which provides income for the area.
Our big discussion revolved around the economic status of Argentina. She insisted that Argentina was a third world country. I argued they were a developing country.
It was steamy hot all day long. We called it a day and I went back to my hotel room to nap.
Check back tomorrow for Part II of Notes From Vivace’s Buenos Aires Adventures


Neonlight - Sidus
Following a stellar run of releases from NZ-based drum & bass acts State Of Mind and The Upbeats so far in 2014, both of which charted at #1 on Beatport’s DnB chart, Blackout have turned to sought-after German producer duo Neonlight to provide the label’s latest enthralling transmission. Having released a series of EPs through both Bad Taste and Berlin’s Trust In Music imprint over the last five years, Neonlight have garnered a reputation for their charging, full-blooded takes on drum & bass. Kicking off the year with an official remix of State of Mind’s lead album single ‘Mr. Cover Up’ already in the bag, their four-track ‘Sidus’ EP represents one of the summer’s most hotly-anticipated label debuts.
Opening with the explosive ‘Extrasolar’, a track that builds with an array of complex melodies and off kilter beats before landing as a fierce, up-tempo club banger, this is an EP sure to make a serious impression on fans and contemporaries alike. Both ‘Transit’ and the wonderfully titled ‘Heavy Bettie’ continue in a similar vain, although this time with rolling drum beat interjects and some notably quirky sampling, whilst on the dreamy, roots-inspired ‘Kosmonaut’, the duo demonstrate just how far their production talents stretch.
Scheduled for release on June 16th, the ‘Sidus’ EP represents a refreshingly original body of tracks that are consistent with Blackout’s ever-growing reputation for unearthing some of drum & bass’ most exciting talents. An engaging listen throughout, expect it to earmark Neonlight as ones to watch throughout the remainder of the year.


Caleb Johnson sings with KISS, Jena Irene has a duet with Paramore, and Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban, Harry Connick Jr. and Randy Jackson form a super band in the star-studded finale.
It's the moment that had been waited the most in this entire season of "American Idol". Either Caleb Johnson or Jena Irene was crowned a winner in the finale on Wednesday, May 21, but first there were performances from the Top 13, musical guests as well as the judges and in-house mentor Randy Jackson.
The final two contestants walked out onto the stage singing "We Will Rock You" and "I'm Just a Girl" before dueting on "It's Only Love". Caleb later rocked out with KISS, singing "Love Gun" and "Shout it out Loud", while Jena sang "Decode" and "Ain't It Fun" with her idol Paramore.
Jason Mraz who previously mentored the Top 5 returned, this time to sing "Love Someone" with Alex Preston who had mentioned Jason as his inspiration. Season 11's winner Phillip Phillips was back to the "Idol" stage, singing "Raging Fire" with Sam Woolf.
Judge Jennifer Lopez also took the stage to perform her new single "First Love" in a revealing outfit. She later teamed up with fellow judges Keith Urban, Harry Connick Jr. and Randy Jackson to perform a medley of "True Colors" and "Go Your On Way". Host Ryan Seacrest, meanwhile, sang on "Idol" stage for the first time, joined by Richard Marx for a duet of "Right Here Waiting for You".
After a bunch of other performances from the likes of Lady Antebellum, Demi Lovato, John Legend and Aloe Blacc, Ryan finally announced the results. The winner of the 13th season is Caleb, who was cut in previous two auditions. He won a record deal and a cash prize. He and runner-up Jena also brought home Ford Mustangs.
Caleb sang his coronation song "As Long As You Love Me" while showered with confetti. Ryan once again told fans that Caleb's first album would arrive on August 21.

Homemaker - The Book
NEW expanded edition
photo of book reproduced with the permission of the publishers: Cameron & Hollis
a 1950s Design Classic", first published in 1997, tells the full story.
Written by Simon Moss, with the co-operation of designers Enid Seeney and
Tom Arnold (the Ridgway Art Director, responsible for the shapes), as well
as many other company workers, the book discusses in depth the development
of the design, and its production. The 60+ pages are crammed with over 80
photographs and include a full shape listing and value guide, making the
book invaluable for dealers and collectors alike. A red printed plate is
featured on the 6.5" x 9.75" cover, and other rarities are discussed
in detail as are backstamps, Seeney's other designs and the wares which
were inspired by Homemaker. An interesting section describes the source
material for some of the motifs.
In the five years since the first edition was published much new information has come to light. Some important new shapes have been discovered, as well as documentary evidence for the inspiration for more of the motifs, and a handful of new backstamps. An interesting sideline to the Homemaker story is that the American company Homer-Laughlin apparently made copies of the design in the Spring of 1959. The back pages of the second edition, now available, contain all this new information, and much more.
To order a copy of the book, signed by the author, at £14.00 including p&p within the UK, please contact me, not forgetting to tell me which country you are in...

"Pure and tonal, the effect is mesmerizing: Think Alison Moyet meets Jimmy Somerville. The emotion is intense, angry and beautifully captured. Graham J. demonstrates one of the huge benefits of the male alto voice by dipping down to his chest notes for emphasis. Stunning" - Jazz Critic
"Graham’s organic talents, however, are equally matched with his meticulously polished and truly bewitching delivery. His sound is delicately intricate and multi-dimensional, and he’s able to hit some astonishing aural heights" Huffington Post
In December 2019, Graham J was approached by legendary music producers FHBlock about working in collaboration. ‘For The Best’ is the first single they have created together and signifies a new direction for Graham whilst still showcasing his distinctive classically trained vocals which blends with his renowned jazz tone.
‘For The Best’ is a love story about second chances in love. It’s about finally realising the one has been in front of you all along and how shared histories creates a bond that is unbreakable, if two people are meant to be together then they will find their way back to each other.
Graham J is a proud Irishman from County Dublin who has been singing from a young age. He began singing soprano in a choir, matured into an opera singer and later was recognised for his Jazz performances. Despite suffering three strokes and losing his voice after the loss of his husband, Graham has never stopped singing, performing and writing and is back stronger than ever.
Over the years, his unique contralto voice and highly emotive singing has gained him a large international following. His influences range from Edith Piaf, Ella Fitzgerald, Brel to David Bowie, Gregory Porter, Anohni and John Grant.
Highlights for Graham as a performer includes performing at the Laurie Beechman Theatre on Broadway in New York City, headlining The Gay Pride Festival in Sitges and performing at the legendary Jazz hub, The Pheasantry as well as a number of shows at Pizza Express in Holborn.
The new single ‘For The Best’ is the first of a series of single releases coming out in 2020.

Preoperative laryngoscopic examination in patients undergoing repeat anterior cervical discectomy and fusion
- Curry Adrian L, Young William F
- Morehouse College, Atlanta, GA, Fort Wayne Neurological Center, Fort Wayne, IN
- The International journal of spine surgery SCOPUS
- Cited Count
Patients who experience a recurrent laryngeal nerve injury (RLI) after undergoing an Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) procedure may eventually become asymptomatic. If patients with an asymptomatic vocal cord abnormality undergo a subsequent ACDF they may be at risk for developing bilateral vocal cord paralysis (VCP). Bilateral VCP is a potentially life threatening problem, requiring emergent tracheotomy in some cases. A program of referring patients for preoperative laryngoscopic examinations (PLE) who were being considered for a revision ACDF was instituted. This study reviews the results of these examinations and determines if the information gained impacted management.
