Having used the airport railway station in Amsterdam several times I’m a huge fan of this service, however I had no idea that every day there were over 50,000 other fans! With the recent news that Heathrow Airport is to be a ‘hub’ for high speed rail in the UK – similar to what Schiphol is in the Netherlands this just seemed like an appropriate topic on which to write my first ever blog, let alone my first all important Amadeus Rail Blog! So if there are an estimated 18 million passengers at Schiphol Airport Railway station there must surely be some major benefits of this service for the Airport’s stakeholders and something that other airports can utilise?
From the passengers perspective time can be saved, especially if the feeder airline isn’t interlined with the long haul connection. Furthermore the additional comfort that a journey by rail offers is a welcome luxury for the modern day traveller. Another thing to consider as I so frequently hear from my snow bound family at home in the UK is that it’s important to consider the effects of our carbon footprint on the world (I too can testify to believing this after witnessing snow on the Côte d’Azur) – travelling by rail can help reduce this – especially where short haul flights are the competition.
It might sound bizarre but the airlines themselves can (if marketed and utilised effectively) benefit from these links. They can set up interlining agreements – much in the way that Lufthansa and Deutsche Bahn have already. Moreover in the current environmental climate it is advantageous for brands to appear “green friendly” and being seen to promote high-speed rail can only assist the company in building its brand to meet this criterion.
The final major stakeholder is the actual airport and their major gain from this is the ability to maintain (if not increase) passenger levels yet reduce (or maintain) air traffic. Such a plan for the expansion of London Heathrow was put forward over the summer, where instead of building a 3rd runway, Heathrow would be linked to major UK cities by a high speed link. (A variation of this plan has now been accepted.) And of course we shouldn’t forget those excess foreign currency inhaling Duty Free Shops…If passengers are willing to use a certain airport for their long haul flight due to the airports rail link then surely the airport will witness increased revenues the Terminal Duty Free Shops?

I just found about NYC’s The Orion Experience and now it seems that life prior to this discovery was perhaps a bit more dull and unexciting than I had realized. Their 2006 debut album Cosmicandy throws a whole lot of uber cool sounds into the hopper – Blondie era-disco riffs, Chumbawumba-esque anthemic group singing, some Grouplove loose rock n’ roll – and a consistent, clever political and social commentary. It’s all good. Really good. But my hands-down fave on the record is the ELO meets New Pornographers rave up “The Cult of Dionysus.” The song is a rush of hooky adrenaline, constantly shifting its attack, from stripped back guitars to dueling vocals to a full-on wall-of-sound assault. Then there’s the understated bridge, where everything drops out to acoustic guitars and sweet sweet vocals that slowly build back up to a driving climax. It’s an instant repeat-play kind of tune. The band have a few equally good albums sprinkled over the past 15 years, a pleasant solo EP from group leader Orion Simprini, and some appealing brand new material coming out right now. But you’re gonna want to start here, with this song and this album. For poprock fans, it’s a guaranteed good time.
The Orion Experience have plenty of internet real estate but start with Bandcamp – that’s where the music is.

Bridge of Spies is a book on Cold War. It is written by Giles Whittell. He is an English journalist and writer who had worked as a correspondent for The Times in USA and Russia. Apart from the subject book, The Greatest Raid is another one from the author that you will like a lot, and that is also available on Audible.
The audio narration of Bridge of Spies is done by Jonathan Keeble. It was a great performance and it is always nice to hear the content of the author just as it was intended.
Who were those three men that the Soviet and the American superpowers had exchanged at the Glienicke Bridge and Checkpoint Charlie of Berlin? That was the case in the first and the most renowned prisoner exchange that happened between the West and East. This is the book that vividly traces their paths to that specific exchange of prisoners that happened on 10th February 1962. That was the time when their fate helped a lot in defining the conflicts and as well as the lethal traces of the most treacherous years of the Cold War.
This book tells the true story of three extraordinary characters. One of them was William Fisher who was a British KGB agent. The second person was Gary Powers who was the American U-2 pilot. The third guy was Frederic Pryor who was a young graduate from the USA. All three of them became prisoners during the Cold War time.
If you are looking for something good and reliable in the era of the Cold War then Bridge of Spies is one of the better books available. It became even more wonderful with such excellent narration given. The content on the subject matter shared by the author is really solid and captivating.

In the latest update from renewable chemistry company Avantium N.V., the company reported that its subsidiary Avantium Renewable Polymers has signed another two conditional offtake agreements for the supply of PEF resin to manufacture bottles and films. This brings the total number of such contracts up to four. The current partners include specialty chemical company Toyobo (Japan), specialty polyester film producer Terphane (USA), the beverage bottling company Refresco (Netherlands), and a major global food & beverage brand owner.
The PEF will be produced from the FDCA produced by the company at the flagship plant it intends to build once a positive Final Investment Decision has been made. While that decision has been delayed due to the uncertainties caused by the Coronavirus pandemic, the company continues to negotiate with potential partners on collaboration and funding opportunities.
The offtake commitments signed so far represent 30% of the plant’s annual FDCA production capacity and are subject to a positive FID, financial closing, other customary approvals and party specific conditions.
The FDCA produced by Avantium RNP is based on a proprietary plants-to-plastics YXY technology. The technology has been demonstrated at the pilot plant in Geleen, the Netherlands. The planned flagship plant will be the world’s first commercial FDCA production facility.
The partners will purchase Avantium’s FDCA at agreed price levels for a period of at least five years, depending on both the product application and the specific terms and conditions included in each agreement.
Additionally, Avantium announced that it has signed a collaboration agreement with Carlsberg Group to jointly develop several PEF applications, including the Green Fibre Bottle, with the aim to validate the circularity of the applications, which should lead to additional demand for FDCA from Avantium’s flagship plant. As a further sign of their commitment, Carlsberg has recently joined the PEFerence consortium, a group of organisations collaborating in an EU-funded project that aim to replace a significant share of fossil-based polymers with the 100% plant-based PEF.
“These further developments in commercial commitments bring us closer to making a positive FID for our FDCA flagship plant,” said CEO Tom van Aken, without disclosing any further details.
Avantium will provide a further update on the progress towards the FID in due course.

If you’re looking for an easy-to-grow plant for your garden, I wholeheartedly recommend foxgloves. These tall plants develop a beautiful bloom, and aside from deadheading them and propagating them, they require very little attention.
This makes them perfect for beginner gardeners, but there are still a few questions to be answered.
In this article, I’ll explain, in great detail, exactly how foxgloves work (and how they don’t work), how to stay safe from their toxic effects, and how to ensure you see a full bloom next year too.
Let’s dive in!
1. Foxglove Water & Lighting Requirements
Foxgloves bloom best when they get plenty of water and sunlight, but you shouldn’t overdo it in either of those departments. If you live in a hot area, your foxgloves will do well with some shade in the afternoon.
If your climate is cool, then feel free to leave them out in the sun for the entire day.
A similar rule applies to watering. You should water your foxgloves weekly – the soil should always be moist, but never soggy. Foxgloves are prone to root rot if they’re left stranded in wet soil.
If you’re going through a particularly dry period, feel free to water them more than once a week. The opposite of that applies too – if it’s particularly rainy, you shouldn’t water them at all.
When you’re watering, make sure to water the soil only, not the leaves and flowers, as fungi thrive in wet foliage.
Foxgloves are relatively low-maintenance plants that spread easily without anyone caring for them, so you don’t have to fear that the plants will die if you don’t stick to a strict water schedule.
2. Soil & Fertilization
Foxgloves do great in well-draining soil, and you don’t have to worry about fertilization either. These plants are aggressive growers and there’s no need to fertilize them unless your soil lacks nutrients.
What you should do is add a thin layer of mulch every spring – not only will the mulch release nutrients into the soil as it decomposes, but it will also help with water retention.
3. Deadheading Foxgloves
Depending on the climate, foxgloves bloom in late spring or the summer. Once their bloom comes to an end, you should deadhead them to prevent self-seeding and aggressive spreading of the plant.
You can also extend the bloom period by deadheading them – when you cut off the flowers, foxgloves will often just regrow them.
Deadheading should be done when you see the flowers start to droop.
4. Are Foxgloves Toxic?
Yes, foxgloves are very toxic, and they’re actually some of the more dangerous plants to have around. Unlike most toxic plants, which need to be ingested for the poison to have effect, foxglove poison can be absorbed through the skin.
This is why it’s always recommended to wear gloves when you’re working with foxgloves.
If ingested in small quantities, the toxin – called digoxin, can have no effect, or it can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, jaundice, and dizziness.
In larger quantities, it can cause seizures, dangerous heartbeat irregularities, delirium, weakness, and even death.
Because of their size and their curiosity, pets are much more easily poisoned than adult humans. Rabbits and deer, for example, which are known to feed on many flowering plants, avoid foxgloves because of their toxicity.
Interestingly, digoxin is one of the oldest medicines used for several heart conditions and it is still used today.
In case you or someone you know has ingested any part of the foxglove plant, look for professional medical help immediately.
5. Can Foxgloves Survive The Winter? (How To Propagate Them)
Foxgloves typically don’t bloom in their first season (although there are some varieties that do), and you need to protect them from harsh weather so they can bloom the following season.
Once the ground starts freezing, you should cover the plants with mulch to provide some insulation, but that mulch needs to be removed once the temperatures pick up.
In their second season, your foxgloves will bloom (depending on your deadheading, they’ll maybe bloom twice), and now is the time to propagate them again.
To do this, you’ll have to collect the seeds, which form at the base of the flower after the blooming period has ended. Once you collect the seeds (wear gloves when you do this), you can throw away the old plants.
Most foxgloves are biennials, meaning that they have a two-year blooming and reproduction period. After those two years, the plant is, frankly, useless.
There are perennial species that bloom year after year, but most species are biennial. If you know you have a perennial foxglove species, you don’t have to propagate them.
Back to what I was saying – collect the seeds, throw away the old plant (in the trash, not on the compost pile – if there are any seeds you missed, they’ll grow out of the compost), and plant the seeds.
Sow the seeds as soon as you get them and plant the seedlings in your garden in late summer/early fall. They need to mature at least a little bit before winter arrives, otherwise they won’t survive it.
You can plant foxgloves in the soil immediately or sow them in containers and then replant them later. Either way – spread the seeds on the soil, but don’t cover them, as they need sunlight to germinate.
6. Common Foxglove Pests & Diseases
Because of their toxicity, foxgloves are impervious to larger pests, but damage can still be caused by fungi, aphids, thrips, and Japanese beetles.
You can minimize the chances of a fungal infection by providing good aeration and keeping the plant dry (water from the bottom), while the insects can be killed with weak insecticides.
Crown rot and root rot aren’t uncommon in foxgloves, and both of these conditions are usually caused by people. Root rot and crown rot are a consequence of overwatering – to avoid them, stick to a watering schedule and make sure you don’t drown your plant.
Given how easy foxgloves are to grow, in case one of your plants develops any serious illness, the easiest solution is to throw the plant away and plant a new one.
7. Supporting Foxglove Growth
Foxgloves are tall, thin plants that can grow up to 6 feet. However, because of how thin they are, they can break when they reach such heights, which is why I recommend putting a stake next to the plant.
The stake will support the plant when it’s growing, and it’ll ensure it doesn’t break in half.
Also, space your foxgloves out when you’re planting them – not only will they look better, but they won’t get in each other’s way!
To Sum Up
Aside from deadheading them once the blooming period has finished (and replanting them if you want them in your garden next season), you don’t really have to do much to keep your foxgloves happy and healthy.
Water them once a week (provided it hasn’t been raining), add some mulch before the first frost, remove it in the spring add organic mulch to provide some nutrients, and make sure to plant them in a partly-shaded area.
That’s all there is to growing and caring for foxgloves. Oh, one last bit – make sure your family members know this plant is toxic, and try to keep pets away from it if possible!

ABOUT THIS BOOK
Following completion of the U.S. air base in Natal, Brazil, in 1942, U.S. airmen departing for North Africa during World War II communicated with Brazilian mechanics with a thumbs-up before starting their engines. This sign soon replaced the Brazilian tradition of touching the earlobe to indicate agreement, friendship, and all that was positive and good—yet another indication of the Americanization of Brazil under way during this period.
In this translation of O Imperialismo Sedutor, Antonio Pedro Tota considers both the Good Neighbor Policy and broader cultural influences to argue against simplistic theories of U.S. cultural imperialism and exploitation. He shows that Brazilians actively interpreted, negotiated, and reconfigured U.S. culture in a process of cultural recombination. The market, he argues, was far more important in determining the nature of this cultural exchange than state-directed propaganda efforts because Brazil already was primed to adopt and disseminate American culture within the framework of its own rapidly expanding market for mass culture. By examining the motives and strategies behind rising U.S. influence and its relationship to a simultaneous process of cultural and political centralization in Brazil, Tota shows that these processes were not contradictory, but rather mutually reinforcing.
The Seduction of Brazil brings greater sophistication to both Brazilian and American understanding of the forces at play during this period, and should appeal to historians as well as students of Latin America, culture, and communications.

The GeForce RTX 3090 is not only the world’s fastest graphics card, but also the world’s first to connect, play, capture, and watch games at 8K HDR.
Why Game At 8K?
Visual effects continually improve, and with each generation developers add more polygons, physics, and shaders to make virtual worlds ever more impressive. But if those worlds are viewed at lower resolutions, like 720p and 1080p, detail will be muddy, edges will be aliased, and distant features blurry, decreasing realism and immersion.
By increasing the resolution, more detail is rendered, everything is clearer and sharper, effects are more impressive, anti-aliasing is vastly improved, distant scenes are more visible, and in general, you’ll be more immersed in the action. And now, at 8K, detail is so crisp and clear that we can discern individual bricks and blades of grass, distant game elements are instantly recognizable, and from behind the shoulder of your player character, individual hairs, stitching on clothes and wrinkles on skin are appreciable.
8K displays run at 7680×4320, giving them a total of 33 million pixels, in comparison to 2 million at 1080p, and 8 million at 4K. So if you thought the leap from 1080p to 4K was impressive, just wait until you see 8K. With many more pixels per inch of screen real estate, 8K enables you to view your games with unprecedented detail and clarity, and with high-quality HDR the experience will take your breath away.
The Challenges of 8K HDR Gaming
8K HDR TVs are available today from manufacturers including LG, Samsung, and Sony, starting at around $2999, but there hasn’t been a PC truly ready to power one. Try to game today at 8K on prior generation hardware, and you’ll quickly run into a multitude of challenges:
- Demanding Pixel Counts: 8K requires your GPU to draw 4 times as many pixels as 4K (3840×2160), and 16 times as many as Full HD (1920×1080). It also demands a significant amount of video memory (VRAM) to load assets and game data.
- Complex Setup: Using previous-gen HDMI 2.0 and Displayport 1.4a standards, 8K HDR gaming requires multiple cables and display outputs due to higher display bandwidth requirements.
- Difficulty in Capturing and Watching Video at 8K HDR: Recording 8K HDR is challenging due to the sheer number of pixels, and typically requires a dedicated, professional capture card such as the DeckLink 8K Pro. And watching 8K content using today’s H.265 and VP9 codecs is bandwidth intensive, resulting in increased buffering and loading times.
GeForce RTX 3090 Makes 8K HDR Possible
To solve the challenges of 8K HDR gameplay, capture, and playback, NVIDIA has developed a suite of new capabilities and technologies, delivered with the GeForce RTX 3090.
Highest Levels of Performance
The GeForce RTX 3090 is the world’s most powerful GPU. It delivers a big leap in performance relative to the prior generation-champ, the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, giving you the necessary horsepower to tackle high-fidelity games at 8K.
It’s also got over 2x the graphics memory of prior generation GPUs, with 24GB of cutting-edge GDDR6X, required for the large, high-fidelity game assets used at 8K. GDDR6X also features innovative PAM4 signal transmission technology to double the data rate, delivering unprecedented graphics memory performance to feed data-hungry workloads such as 8K gaming, ensuring assets are loaded and displayed without delay.
NVIDIA DLSS 8K: Ultra Performance Mode
NVIDIA DLSS is our groundbreaking AI rendering technology that boosts frame rates while generating beautiful, crisp game images. For 8K gaming on the GeForce RTX 3090, we’ve created a new DLSS Ultra Performance mode that accelerates performance in supported games, including Boundary, Bright Memory: Infinite, Control, Death Stranding, Justice, Minecraft with RTX Beta for Windows 10, Ready or Not, Scavengers, Watch Dogs Legion, and Wolfenstein: Youngblood.
The Ultra Performance mode uses a newly trained AI super resolution model, purpose-built for 8K, that offers image quality comparable to native resolution, while rendering only one ninth of the pixels. In supported titles, users will now have up to 4 DLSS image quality modes –Quality, Balanced, Performance, and Ultra Performance– for even more user choice, and even bigger performance boosts.
The combination of GeForce RTX 3090’s graphics horsepower and DLSS’s Ultra Performance mode enables smooth 8K gameplay across a host of both ray traced and non-ray traced games:
First GPU with HDMI 2.1
GeForce RTX 30 Series GPUs are the first available to feature HDMI 2.1 support, for single cable output on 8K HDR TVs. This is critical for 8K HDR 60 FPS gaming since you need at least 71.66 Gbps before compression. This was not possible on TVs using HDMI 2.0b.
Previous generation GPUs had HDMI 2.0b (18.1 Gbps) or DisplayPort 1.4a (32.4 Gbps), so an 8K TV would require 4 HDMI 2.0 cables, or a specialized DP-to-HDMI 2.1 converter, making setup more complex and expensive. Now, one HDMI 2.1 cable simplifies connection for 8K HDR gaming.
Record Gameplay At 8K HDR
GeForce Experience updates will enable NVIDIA ShadowPlay to record gameplay at up to 8K 30 FPS, and support HDR capture at all resolutions, so you no longer need to buy a separate and expensive capture card for 8K HDR. These videos can be uploaded right to YouTube from within GeForce Experience, or edited in apps such as Adobe Premiere Pro and Davinci Resolve.
Together with LG’s 1ms response time, LG’s low latency technologies, and NVIDIA’s G-SYNC Compatible technology, LG OLED Real 8K TVs deliver the clearest and most responsive 8K game experiences we’ve seen to date, which is why we’ve used them to demonstrate 8K PC gaming.
GeForce RTX 3090: The World’s First 8K GPU – Play, Capture, and Watch
For gaming, capture and playback, the GeForce RTX 3090 offers the ultimate 8K HDR experience. Gaming is AI-accelerated with NVIDIA DLSS’s new Ultra Performance mode; big-screen 8K TV experiences are possible with a single HDMI 2.1 cable; capturing and sharing 8K HDR content is easier with GeForce Experience; and YouTube 8K HDR playback is faster and more efficient with support for AV1.
Head over to our GeForce RTX 3090 product page to learn more, and to purchase the world’s fastest and most advanced 8K-Ready GPU when it’s released on September 24th.

Over the last few months I have seen a number of Facebook posts asking people in the various groups “how do I get into…” a range of historical periods. This has included broad brush periods such as Bolt Action, Black Powder or Hail Caesar, and it has also included slightly more specific periods like Napoleonics, American Civil War or Republican Roman.
These are not simple questions to answer, as it obviously depends on the interests, enthusiasm and resources of you as an individual. It also depends on your preferences for scale, materials and the size of force you want to put together.
The simplest and cheapest way of getting into a new period is to just pick up a couple of boxes of plastic figures comprising opposing forces from your chosen period (e.g. a box of German Late War Grenadiers and a box of US Infantry for Bolt Action).
Another great option available to those looking to start out in a new period are Starter Sets. These come in many shapes and sizes from the manufacturers themselves, and often include loads of extras to get you going including figures, rules, terrain and guides on how to put together your units.
A third option is to plump for one of our more bespoke TKS Starter Sets – these are more for those looking to start out in a new period in a grander fashion and include a sizeable force for one or more sides in the conflict. I will be adding more TKS Starter Sets in the coming weeks and months, some of which will include suitable figures from multiple manufacturers.
Of course you could also research your chosen period, draw up your own army list and start collecting your force, building gradually over time. This is how many gamers started and continue to develop their forces. But it doesn’t give you the buzz of a big-bang entry into a new period.

On the connectivity assumption of non-liner flocking models
Conference : Proceedings of 8th International Conference on Methods and Models is Automation and Robotics (MMAR 2013) pp. 800-805
Date: August 26 - August 29, 2013
The problem of collective behavior of autonomous agents is discussed. Based on state dependent communication graphs we analyze a family of nonlinear flocking models by establishing sufficient initial conditions so as connectivity and thus asymptotic flocking is ensured. We discuss models with non-linear uniformly bounded connection rates with and without delays.


“The MUSIC segues into a fierce BEAT. The CROWD lets out a ROAR! Prince strips off his guitar, streaks center- stage. The Band launches into ‘Baby, I’m A Star.’
“…And the CROWD laughing, dancing, shouting and loving. The CLUB is ALIVE!
“And the MUSIC continues…forever…”
Draft screenplay for Purple Rain by Albert Magnoli, 1983
In the spring of 1983, Prince’s contract with managers Cavallo, Ruffalo, and Fargnoli was up for renewal. They had, on the face of it, little reason to worry: the 1999 tour was selling out arenas, “Little Red Corvette” was in the Top 10 of the pop charts, and 1999 was well on its way to Platinum certification by the RIAA. By the end of April, Prince would make the cover of Rolling Stone: a coveted opportunity for which his managers had netted a Richard Avedon photo shoot without granting an interview. “I thought we did an incredible job, we had a creative relationship, I’m sure he’s gonna sign another contract,” Bob Cavallo later told music journalist Alan Light. But Prince sent his main handler, Steve Fargnoli, back to Cavallo with a surprising ultimatum: “he won’t sign with us again unless we get him a movie” (Light 51).
The concept of “Gigolos” is exactly what the title suggests: Morris–and by extension, Prince–inhabiting the role of a sex worker who longs for the intimacy to “make love without taking off my clothes.” The conceit was something of a departure from the Morris Day persona to date, which read more as an aspiring pimp than a gigolo. But then, gigolos were experiencing something of a resurgence in the early ’80s: Paul Schrader’s neo-noir American Gigolo had released to some attention in early 1980, making a star out of both leading man Richard Gere and costume designer Giorgio Armani. It’s hardly far-fetched to imagine Gere’s character, with his taste for Italian suits and the high life, influencing the Time’s visual aesthetic; certainly his refusal to engage gay clients, however unconvincing, would have helped to mitigate male sex work’s homosexual connotations.
During the weeks leading up to the release of their debut album in July 1981, Prince had honed the Time into a formidable live unit. “He brought stuff out of us that we didn’t think we could do,” keyboardist Jimmy Jam later recalled. Left to their own devices, the band would “rehearse for like four hours and think we were tired. We’d go through the set twice and sit around and talk for two hours.” But with Prince as taskmaster, “we’d work five or six hours straight, over and over, no breaks… He would give us keyboard parts that were impossible. We would be like, ‘We can’t play these.’ He would be like, ‘Yeah, you can, and while you’re playing them I want you to do this step of choreography and sing this note of harmony.’ Couple of days later we’d be doing it. A month later we’d be on tour and it would be automatic. He was a great motivator and the thing that made him a great motivator was that he works so hard himself. He’s always squeezing the most out of everything” (Nilsen 1999 87).
That summer, the Time made their live debut in a showcase for Warner Bros. executives at S.I.R. Studios on Sunset Boulevard–the same venue where, three years earlier, Prince had held auditions for his own backing band. “It was just 10 or 12 of us,” Marylou Badeaux, at that time a marketing executive in the label’s “Black Music” division, told biographer Per Nilsen. “We went down there after work one day to be shown this new Warner Bros. group that was produced by Jamie Starr. No one knew who Jamie Starr was. They turned off all the lights, and this diminutive little character with a veil walked in to stand behind the console and mix it. Somebody says, ‘That’s Jamie Starr!’ And I looked and said, ‘No, that’s Prince!’” (Nilsen 1999 87).
Folks, it’s been a whole-ass seven months since the last roundup post on Dirty Mind–where has the time gone? Dunno, but here at least is where the Time has gone (sorry): five posts on the first album by Prince’s first and arguably most accomplished protégé act. My ranking this time is decidedly anti-climactic, since I basically organized them in ascending order of preference as I wrote. And yes, the fact that I didn’t even devote a full post to “After Hi School” should give you an idea of where it would have ranked if I had. Anyway, here goes:
5. “Girl” Only the second song I’ve written about so far (after “With You”) that I’ve actively disliked–but my dislike is really, really active. Apologies to the track’s defenders, but I don’t know which is more grating to me: Morris’ whiny lead vocal or Prince’s dog-howling-at-the-moon harmonies. I would have gladly taken an extra five and a half minutes of “Get It Up” over this.
4. “Oh, Baby” The best ballad on The Time, purely by default. I actually barely remember this song even after having written 600 words on it. But I guess no memory beats bad memories, so Number 4 it is.
3. “Get It Up” Now we’re talking. The Time’s debut is the definition of an uneven album, with half of its songs among the worst they recorded and the other half among the best; “Get It Up” belongs in the latter. The only reason it isn’t ranked higher is because it’s still missing the spark of unique personality that the remaining two songs achieve; but if there’s a version with just Prince’s vocals locked away in the Vault, I need it yesterday.
2. “The Stick” Maybe the best song about dicks ever to be co-written by a lesbian? Don’t quote me on that, but a great song nevertheless, and a tongue-in-cheek preview of the auto-erotic innuendos Prince would take to the next level with “Little Red Corvette.” Plus, any opportunity for me to reference Kenneth Anger’s Kustom Kar Kommandos earns a special place in my heart.
1. “Cool” Maybe the definitive Time song–and certainly, as we explored, the one with the longest history in Prince’s career. Without “Cool,” Jerome would have never brought Morris that mirror–truly, an alternate timeline too terrifying to contemplate.
Oh, and if you’re wondering what the average length for these Time posts was, it was my lowest ever: a paltry 833 words, barely over half of the average post length for Dirty Mind. I make no promises that I’ll be as brief in the future.
Next week is the third anniversary of d / m / s / r (where has that time gone?), so I’ll hold off on the state-of-the-blog stuff until then. In the meantime, rest assured that I’ll keep plugging away, probably until we’re all dead. Onward to (the rest of) Controversy!
While guitarist Dez Dickerson’s most fleshed-out contribution to The Time was the aforementioned “After Hi School,” it was his work as a lyricist that had the more lasting impact. Dickerson wrote lyrics for at least three songs recorded in April of 1981 and (most likely) intended for the new side project. Two of these, “Dancin’ Flu” and “I Can’t Figure It Out,” we only know as titles from The Vault; but the third, “Cool,” would become the Time’s second single and one of their trademark songs. “Prince called me up one day with the title and asked me to write some lyrics to go with it,” Dez recalled to Per Nilsen’s Uptown fanzine. “I called him back about 20 minutes later with the song” (Nilsen 1999 86).
According to Dickerson, the genesis for “Cool” came during the Dirty Mind tour, on a night when the band was hanging out with Warner Bros. A&R exec Ted Cohen. “I had this voice that I adopted at times, and, that night I just kind of got ‘stuck’ in it, cracking jokes,” he wrote in his 2003 memoir. “I fell into this thing where I kept telling Ted, ‘Ted, man, you bad! Ain’t nobody bad like you, Ted!’ Well, you guessed it–the voice and the phrase ‘ain’t nobody bad…’, which would later become the signature of the Time’s banter, came from that night” (Dickerson 137).
While I am skeptical of attributing the whole “Morris Day” persona to Dez alone–both Prince and André Cymone, not to mention Day himself, are also on record as having used the hoarse, jive-talking “pimp voice” most publicly identified with the Time–it is certainly true that “Cool,” and Dickerson’s “ain’t nobody bad but me” lyric, played an essential role in bringing that persona to life. Equal parts smooth and clownish, “Cool” laid the parameters for the hair-slicking, Stacy Adams-wearing, two-stepping caricature from which Morris remains publicly inseparable to this day.

Recipe by *Parsley*
Can be adapted for the slow-cooker after sauteeing the scallions and parsley.
Top Review by Studentchef
I adapted this to a slow cooker style of cooking (I don't have a sloow cooker, but my family has a pot that is treated like a slow cooker). It was really good, and used dried beans instead of canned (I think that was the only change we made). But it did turn out really good.
- 4 -5 tablespoons butter
- 12 scallions, finely chopped white and green parts
- 3 cups finely chopped parsley
- 2 1⁄2-3 lbs lean lamb, cut into cubes
- 2 quarts chicken broth, any kind of broth works
- 1⁄3 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 3 (15 ounce) cans red kidney beans, drained
- salt, to taste
- 2 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
Directions See How It's Made
- Melt butter in medium stockpot, saute scallions & parsley until parsley turns dark green and fragrant.
- Add the cubed lamb & saute until lamb is just lightly browned.
- Add broth, lemon juice and coriander. Stir well, reduce heat and cover & simmer about 1 hr 15 minutes.
- Stir in the kidney beans, salt & pepper. Cover and simmer just until heated through.
- Serve over rice, if desired.

Price-gouging complaints during Hurricane Irma top 14,000 in Florida
In the wake of Hurricane Irma, Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi received more than 14,000 complaints about price gouging, including 240 from the Treasure Coast, her office said.
There were 100 incidents reported in St. Lucie County, 80 in Indian River County and 60 in Martin County, Bondi spokeswoman Kylie Mason said.
Price gouging — or selling essential commodities for a severely increased price during a state of emergency — is illegal under Florida statute.
A survey of 50 Treasure Coast complaints show the items targeted most often were water and gasoline, though most cited modest price increases that may not trigger a prosecution.
State law prohibits extreme increases in the price of essential commodities, such as food, water, hotels, ice, gasoline, lumber and equipment, needed as a direct result of an officially declared emergency.
Bondi launched Florida’s Price Gouging Hotline after Gov. Rick Scott issued a state of emergency as Hurricane Irma impacted the state Sept. 9-10.
Without naming specific businesses, Mason said consumer protection investigators statewide still are reviewing “at least a dozen matters involving companies with multiple complaints that are expected to become formal investigations.”
State records also show:
- Of 50 price-gouging reports reviewed from the Treasure Coast, about half targeted convenience stores, and half accused gas stations of overcharging for water or fuel.
- Several complaints in Port St. Lucie, Vero Beach and Stuart stated the price of regular gasoline rose from an average of $2.69 a gallon to $2.99 and as high as $3.30.
- Others targeted the price of water, with complaints stating at some locations, a case of water that normally sold for $4 to $6 was priced at $25 to $36 for a 24-pack. Most reports showed no purchase was made.
- Violations are pursued by local state prosecutors, but so far no one on the Treasure Coast has been charged.
- Violators can face a second-degree misdemeanor and are subject to penalties of $1,000 per violation, up to a total of $25,000 for multiple violations committed in a single 24-hour period.
- During Hurricane Matthew in 2016, Bondi’s office received about 2,500 price-gouging reports statewide, including 220 from the Treasure Coast.
- Until Matthew, reports of price gouging in the three-county area were practically non-existent. The state received two complaints after Tropical Storm Erika in 2015, six after Hurricane Isaac in 2012 and three after a freeze in January 2010.

Asay had a higher-than-average profile as a Mormon because he was a spokesman for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints stake presidents.
He said recently he never encountered any hostility during the campaign because of his religion. Asay lost the primary election to incumbent Barbara Cubin, but not because he was a Mormon, political observers concluded.
In Wyoming, members of the LDS church make up nearly 10 percent of the population of about 550,000. It is the state’s third-largest religious denomination after Protestants and Catholics.
This year, another Mormon, Ron Micheli, is in the political spotlight as one of four Republicans running for governor.

San Francisco on Wednesday became the second county in the Bay Area to report its thousandth confirmed case of COVID-19, as well as two more casualties from the deadly disease.
Health officials reported 26 new cases — the same number as neighboring San Mateo County on Wednesday — bringing the city’s total to 1,013. Two more San Franciscans succumbed to the virus, bringing the city’s death toll to 17. Only Santa Clara County has more confirmed cases, but San Francisco has reported fewer fatalities than Santa Clara (60), Alameda (23) and San Mateo (21).
The city had not yet updated its dashboard with information on hospitalizations or demographics, but it did report that it conducted its 9,000th test Tuesday. Labs in the city have conducted more than 400 tests per day on five of the past six weekdays, with about 11% coming back positive.
“As much as San Francisco has been a model for flattening the curve, the curve has not complete gone away,” Mayor London Breed told the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday.
Officials announced plans for extensive contact tracing — a key step to lifting shelter-in-place orders — with a partnership between the city, its health department, UCSF and a technology company working with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to develop digital contact tracing. A voluntary program will allow health workers connect remotely with anyone who has tested positive, who will be able to communicate their symptoms via text for 14 days.
Dr. Grant Colfax, the city’s health officer, described the need for a “fast-moving, comprehensive system to track cases and support people to prevent further spread as much as possible as we ultimately move out of shelter in place into a new phase of fighting the pandemic.”
San Francisco’s homeless population accounts for about a tenth of the known cases in the city. An outbreak at its largest shelter had grown to 92 cases among residents and 10 among staff in the latest update provided Wednesday.
All of the some 340 residents living at the Multi-Service Center South have been relocated into some of the 2,000 hotel rooms acquired by the city. On Tuesday, the Board of Supervisors approved an emergency measure that requires the city to secure about 6,000 more accommodations by April 26, enough to house nearly everyone in San Francisco’s shelters and on its streets.
At Laguna Honda Hospital, where about 750 long-term care patients live, officials confirmed one more case among the staff. Three residents and 11 staff members have tested positive so far, and officials expect that number to continue to grow.
Across California, the state approached 26,000 confirmed cases on Wednesday. Gov. Gavin Newsom called Tuesday the state’s deadliest day yet, with COVID-19 taking the lives of 71 Californians. Statewide, the death toll was at 775 Tuesday evening. The two new fatalities in San Francisco push the Bay Area to 150, according to data compiled by this news organization.


The use of "stratigraphic grids" allows the construction of geostatistical models controlled by stratigraphic information. A stratigraphic grid is a 3D grid with boundaries defined by stratigraphic surfaces and cells which respect the stratigraphic organisation (proportional, onlap, toplap,…)
The GOCAD Research Group recently developed object-based stochastic simulations using curvilinear sedimentary bodies and generalized the concept of stratigraphic grids within each simulated object.
We propose a technique for simulating petrophysical parameters within an object-based reservoir model, using this framework provided by stratigraphic grids within each object.
The complete stochastic simulation approach is then defined by the following sequence of operations:
- Define a 3D stratigraphic grid respecting the geometry of the sedimentary limits of the reservoir.
- Next, in the layers where it is required, stochastically simulate the distribution of 3D curvilinear sedimentary bodies (e.g. representing sand bodies).
- Once this object simulation is performed, create a local 3D curvilinear stratigraphic grid contained within each sedimentary body.
- In each of these local 3D curvilinear stratigraphic grids, use geostatistical simulation tools to simulate the distribution of petrophysical properties. The local curvilinear stratigraphic grids so defined honours the sand bodies stratigraphy and allow to generate more realistic simulations than classical global rectilinear grid.
The ultimate goal is to merge all the local 3D curvilinear stratigraphic grids into one global 3D curvilinear reservoir stratigraphic grid filling the whole reservoir. The petrophysical properties of the reservoir can then be transferred from the local stratigraphic grids to the global reservoir stratigraphic grid. Erosion rules between sand bodies can also be accounted for.
With such an approach, based on local stratigraphic grids within sedimentary bodies, we can take into account both the geometry and the topology of the geological bodies.

CARACAS, Venezuela — Venezuelan authorities formally charged eight suspects Wednesday in the kidnapping of Washington Nationals catcher Wilson Ramos.
The charges against include kidnapping, illegal possession of firearms, using a stolen vehicle and criminal association, prosecutors said in a statement. Those jailed include six men accused of directly participating in the abduction and a 59-year-old woman and 74-year-old man who are charged as accomplices for allegedly providing food to the group.
The 24-year-old baseball player was seized at gunpoint outside his family’s home in the city of Valencia last week and was rescued by police commandos two days later in the mountains of Carabobo state.
Authorities said four men were arrested at the abductors’ hideout but other suspects escaped the police raid. On Monday, police arrested a Colombian and a Venezuelan as alleged participants in the kidnapping. The older man and woman were detained before the rescue.
Ramos said after his release that his kidnappers had carefully planned the abduction with the help of an informant who had studied his movements. Ramos said his abductors told him they were going to demand a large ransom.
“What they did was laugh, joke about my pain,” Ramos said in brief remarks on television Tuesday.
The 74-year-old suspect, Aristides Sanchez, was granted house arrest by a court as permitted in Venezuela for suspects older than 70. However, officials said he will remain jailed until authorities confirm his age.
Sanchez is the father of another jailed suspect, 26-year-old Alexander Sanchez, the attorney general’s office said in a statement.
Ramos recently returned to his homeland after his rookie year with the Nationals to play during the offseason for his Venezuelan team, the Aragua Tigers. He has said he expects to be on the field playing for the Tigers again soon.
“I’m very thankful, and I feel like I’ve been born again,” Ramos said.

As the designated venue for the 2014 Commonwealth Games swimming competition.
Existing facility was extended to include a new six lane, 50m warm up pool, as well as one thousand additional permanent spectator seats, a new fitness suite, an extension of existing changing facilities, upgraded café, and a general upgrade and refresh of the existing facilities.
Following final handover of the entire building, we were then instructed to carry out additional works, including construction of a further extension hall, additional poolside waterproofing, additional poolside lighting, provision of a new movable floor, and re-tiling works within the main competition pool.
Works were sequenced and programmed to ensure that the existing leisure complex could remain fully operational, in terms of both the wet and dry sports facilities, for as long as possible during the initial commencement on-site which focused on the new extension works which were on the programme critical path.
We were committed to providing apprenticeships and employment to the long-term unemployed. We were also tasked with the provision of work experience placement. In order to facilitate these positions, we worked closely with the Glasgow Regeneration Agency to ensure that the posts were circulated to appropriate candidates, to ensure maximum benefit to the local community.

Plastic drum pumps supply users with a risk-free and also reputable approach of transferring a wide variety of liquid compounds as well as chemicals in a risk-free fashion. With leading suppliers providing hand ran plastic drum pumps, without any relocating components and also a double pumping activity system which enables the transfer of liquid on both the upward and descending stroke, they are the rational and also economical service for organizations, both huge and also tiny.
The material typically made use of to make plastic drum pumps is polypropylene, which is a solid as well as versatile material designed in Italy by Professor Giulio Natta. Considering that its innovation, it has been widely made use of in the layout as well as production of a range of manufacturing, productivity and also house equipment as well as tools, being noted for being a versatile material which is characterised by stamina, durability and also versatility in its capacity of being molded as well as shaped. Being able to hold up against high temperatures and with its innate top qualities of being durable and also long-term, has actually resulted in the material being thoroughly utilized in the production of plastic drum pumps.
Polypropylene is generated in the chemical market as a thermoplastic polymer. Being highly resistant to chemical liquids, solvents and acid products, it is the excellent tool for the manufacturing of plastic drum pumps. Nonetheless, there are several types of polypropylene, namely homopolymer and copolymer. The key difference between both is that copolymer is produced with the combination of two various monomers, connected sequentially in the same chain; whereas homopolymer is a single polymer just. This combination of monomers in copolymers produces a product that is tougher and also more sturdy. Leading manufacturers that resource only the best products in the building and construction of their plastic drum pumps acknowledge these differences and also insist on the more powerful and much longer long-term copolymer propylene as a essential material. These result in a plastic drum pump that is much more reliable, has actually raised circulation capabilities over a longer life duration, and can be depended transfer fluids in a safe, upkeep totally free and cost effective fashion.
In addition, in comparison with copolymer, homopolymer creates a plastic that is fragile, thinner, susceptible to flexing as well as unable to execute in conditions of low temperatures. In essence, the use of homopolymer is the option of suppliers who are generating a more affordable alternative, which is not efficient in doing at the exact same level as well as reliability of plastic drum pumps built with copolymer. Additionally, the resistance to chemical rust results in a multi-purpose solution to your liquid transfer demands.

PBS - yes, PBS - gets caught up in sweeps-month turmoil tonight, believe or not with a nature special, of all things.
It's called "Savage Skies," and if it appeared on the Fox network it would probably be outfitted with a sensational subtitle along the lines of "Nature's Beastly, Violent Ways of Torturing Us Day In, Day Out."
"Savage Skies" features tremendous film footage of tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, blizzards and other natural disasters. But unlike the usual PBS weather special, it also displays a truly macabre infatuation with human suffering.
The four, hour-long segments, which air two today and two on Tuesday, both days beginning at 8 p.m. on WTTW Channel 11, could easily be plugged into the same time slots as reality shows like "Cops" or "America's Most Wanted." The thrill-seeker element of the TV audience would barely notice a difference.
"Savage Skies" interviews people who calmly discuss being struck by lightning, finding their house destroyed in a hurricane and turning their backs for a second only to find their children swept away in a flood.
It's kind of creepy.
But this is a PBS special, after all, so the filmmakers needed to find a narrator who could put a happy face on all this.
"I think it's wonderful," said Al Roker, the cheerful NBC forecaster, CNBC talk-show host and "Savage Skies" narrator, as he spoke on the phone from the WNBC-TV weather office in New York City. "There's some really incredible video in it, but it's not a voyeuristic sort of thing. There are stories and tales to be told about how this weather affects people."
Are there ever. But it takes a while to get to them. "Savage Skies" begins with a typical PBS gambit, daring to bore the viewer. The first episode, "Fire and Rain," examines the sun's influence on the weather, but it starts off with a husband-and-wife team of photographers who specialize in taking pictures of clouds. They actually put on a slide show.
Yawn. What else is on?
But if you give up on "Savage Skies" tonight for the even cheaper thrills of "No One Would Tell" or "My Son Is Innocent," you'll regret it, and not just because it won't be as fun as you think to watch Fred Savage and Marilu Henner debase themselves. "Fire and Rain" soon moves on to the tale of a mountain climber who puts an eerie spin on his story of being caught on the side of a rock in an electrical storm.
"It was like someone opened a door and there was the storm, waiting, behind the open door," Jerry Gore says. "I sensed, smelt and almost tasted fear. Maybe it was death, I don't know, but it was evil. …

When Steve Alford was hired at UCLA almost two months ago, my initial reaction was one of optimism.
Alford had turned New Mexico into the dominant program in a very good Mountain West. Regardless of the post season flameouts that he’s had — he hasn’t made it out of the first weekend of the NCAA tournament this century, literally — he’s been a winning basketball coach and he’s landed good players from California.
Those are two things that Ben Howland hadn’t done of late, and given that the Bruins had already been turned down by the likes of Brad Stevens and Shaka Smart, ending up with Alford wasn’t bad.
But the new union has been anything but perfect, as chronicled by Chris Foster of the LA Times over the weekend. It starts with Alford’s drawn out contract dispute with New Mexico, who claimed that he owed them a $1 million buyout. Alford, however, argued that since he left the program on March 30th, two days before the 10-year contract that he signed was due to officially begin, that he only needed to pay his old buyout.
And that wasn’t the worst of it. Alford was grilled about the way that he handled the Pierre Pierce scandal while at Iowa at his introductory press conference, as was the UCLA administration:
UCLA athletic administrators were stunned. They had signed Alford to a seven-year, $18.2-million contract with the expectation that his hiring would invigorate an apathetic fan base. They expected him to be greeted with open arms.
Guerrero was also questioned — about whether UCLA had properly vetted its new coach and investigated what happened at Iowa. He said he “clearly discussed” the Pierce situation with Alford before hiring him.
However, when Alford was asked a similar question, he said the topic never came up.
Guerrero later amended his comment, saying he discussed Pierce with his staff and Alford’s representatives, but not with Alford.
The controversy prompted one group of UCLA fans to circulate a petition calling for Guerrero to be fired because he had “disregarded Mr. Alford’s history of defending a sex offender or did little to no research into Mr. Alford’s past.”
With little publicity, the petition generated nearly 2,000 signatures.
Alford was forced to apologize for the way he handled the situation, which one could easily have interpreted as public bullying of a victim. And that was before Pat Harty, an Iowa reporter, published a stirring piece about his proximity to the scandal.
And if that wasn’t enough, the team across town hired a hotshot young coach with a bombshell wife in Andy Enfield who then proceeded to go out and hire the top two assistant coaches out west.
It will be a long time before we can truly evaluate Alford’s hire, but the early returns are in, and they are not pretty.

5% Lincomycin Hydrochloride
2.Mechanism of Action
Lincosamine antibiotics. Lincomycin belongs to the class of
lincosamines and has a strong effect on gram-positive bacteria,
such as staphylococci, hemolytic streptococci, and pneumococci, and
an inhibitory effect on anaerobic bacteria such as Clostridium
tetani and Bacillus aerogenes; the effect on mycoplasma is weak. It
also has some effect on T. hyodysenteriae and Toxoplasma gondii.
Gram-negative aerobic bacteria are usually not susceptible. If
absorption is rapid but incomplete in animals, the bioavailability
after oral administration in pigs is 20% -50%.Some of the drug is
metabolized in the liver, and unchanged drug and its metabolites
are excreted in bile, urine, and milk.
To solve chronic respiratory disease, colibacillosis, fowl cholera,
infectious serositis, infectious bronchitis and avian influenza,
infectious laryngotracheitis, infectious bursitis, duck plague,
duckling viral hepatitis, muscovy duck "three-week disease". It is
used to treat Gram-positive bacterial infections in chickens, such
as chicken necrotizing enterocolitis. It can also be used for
mycoplasma infection in chickens. Common symptoms: lack of energy,
weight loss, anal paste, screaming during defecation; fat
individuals suddenly died, swollen beard, yellow green loose stool,
fear of cold, head swelling, lacrimation, dyspnea and so on.
4. Dosage And Administration:
Calculated as lincomycin. Mixed drink: for chicken, mix 150 mg with
per liter of water, i.e., 100g of the product is mixed with 600 kg
of water , used for 5-10 days.
100g* 10 bags/barrel *6 barrels/carton
