Rolls-Royce is a name that needs no introduction when it comes to automotive luxury. In fact, the company does not need any publicity as its affluent clientele are the ones who seek its services. Still, the British carmaker occasionally embarks on jaw-dropping collaborations like this latest bespoke build with Iris van Herpen. Behold the majestic Phantom Syntopia.
This exclusive take on the opulent sedan bolsters its elegance with detailing lifted from the Dutch designer’s 2018 collection. Think of it as a combination of a mechanical masterwork with haute couture influences. We know it’s difficult to imagine what everything looks like. Thankfully, the official images should give you an idea of what this is all about.
According to reports, the muse for this partnership with Rolls-Royce is water. “Phantom Syntopia takes its name from Iris van Herpen’s landmark 2018 collection, designed on the principles of biomimicry in which art is inspired by patterns and shapes found in nature,” states the group.
A closeup inspection of the vehicle reveals sophisticated elements to make it stand out from the standard model. Take for example the headliner crafted from a single roll of leather. There are a total of 995 fiber optic units and 162 glass organza petals. The illuminated atmosphere it creates inside the cabin is surreal.
Other notable tweaks to the interior include a special fabric mix for the rear seat upholstery. The Rolls-Royce Phantom Syntopia likewise flaunts a mesmerizing Liquid Noir paint job. Depending on how the light hits the surfaces, it shimmers in shades of magenta, gold, blue, and purple. As with previous collaborative projects, this is a one-off and will belong to a private collection.Learn More

Following an impressive debut outing at Sebring, Kyle Marcelli will return to the wheel of a Prancing Horse for the balance of the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship season.
Sportscar365 has learned that the 24-year-old Canadian driver has been confirmed in Scuderia Corsa’s No. 64 Ferrari 458 Italia GT3, beginning with this weekend’s Continental Tire Monterey Grand Prix at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.
Marcelli will co-drive Sunday’s two-hour race with veteran Stefan Johansson, the team’s recently appointed sporting director, who stepped aside to let the rising star make his GTD debut at Sebring.
As it turns out, the late opportunity to drive the team’s No. 63 Ferrari helped pave the way for Marcelli to land a full-time ride with the California-based squad.
“The stars just really aligned at Sebring,” Marcelli told Sportscar365. “Stefan was kind enough to step aside and I was able to fulfill his position.
“Our result wasn’t that great. We had some electrical fueling issues. Aside from that, we were one of the leading cars for the first eight hours.
“Following the race at Sebring, Giacomo [Mattioli, team principal] said to make sure I talk to him before I talk to anybody else [about the future]. A couple of days later we connected and they shared their thoughts on offering me a contract for the balance of the year.”
A standout in the Prototype Challenge ranks, Marcelli was due to contest the entire Tequila Patron North American Endurance Cup in a Starworks Motorsport Oreca FLM09, but the team’s late withdrawal of the No. 8 car from Sebring initially left him on the sidelines for the race.
Marcelli, who got permission from Starworks to make the switch to the Giacomo Mattioli-owned squad for the season, is now hoping to make a name for himself in the GT ranks, as he sees that as the best career path in sports car racing today.
“I’ve wanted to make this switch to GT racing for quite a while, probably the last two years,” he said. “2011 was a really good year for me in PC but it really didn’t spark anything.
“I’ve had communications with Viper and Corvette and Porsche but it didn’t really spark any manufacturer opportunity.
“Everybody I spoke to said I really need to be in a GT car. Ron Fellows was one of those people. That’s been a priority of mine. Being a prototype guy, and not having the GT experience, it was tough to get an opportunity.
“Thankfully the stars aligned at Sebring and I got an opportunity. Now it’s led to something full-time. I really want to continue to impress and see where this leads.
“Scuderia Corsa is really well connected with the manufacturer. In a perfect world, I could see myself in a red suit for quite some time.”
Marcelli has been signed for whatever races the No. 64 Ferrari will contest this season.
The car’s exact schedule has yet to be determined but it’s understood no fewer than five additional rounds are being planned beyond Monterey.
Additionally, he will continue his full-season commitment with Rebel Rock Racing in the Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge.

NEW YORK — A Time Warner Cable Inc shareholder sued to block Comcast Corp's proposed $45.2-billion takeover, saying the merger of the two biggest US cable TV companies faces high regulatory hurdles and was the result of unfair dealing.
The goal of the lawsuit is to stop the "sale of the company at an unfair price through an unfair and self-serving process to Comcast", investor Breffni Barrett said in a complaint filed on Friday in New York State Supreme Court in Manhattan. Mr Barrett is seeking to sue on behalf of Time Warner Cable shareholders.

Hey!! Thank you for taking the time to invest in yourself by seeking counseling. Thinking about counseling can be a lot. Even if you only look at my bio, contemplate, and still think “Nah, I’m not ready” or “This is too much”, THAT’S OKAY!! I believe that the counseling process takes time- even with choosing your therapist. That connection is the most important part. I say you have to “date” to find the right counselor for you.
Who you’ll get:. In session, it’s important to know that my job is not to give answers, but rather guide you to find the answers that may have been there already. It’s your journey, not mine! I consider myself to be a “real” counselor which means I am open and honest with my clients and encourage you to do the same with me. So.., what that really means is I do respectfully challenge my clients and play devil’s advocate occasionally to really see what’s going on (is this really them or is this you?). I don’t believe you are looking for someone to just “mmmhmm” or “right” or “tell me how that makes you feel” when you share information (although I may at times!) Instead, we will process the experiences and feelings until we decide we can’t anymore. And the fun part is- I will be there the following week to do it all over again! I value the vulnerability it takes to communicate your inner thoughts with someone. I promise to respect, challenge, and encourage you while you work on investing and trusting your mental process.
After talking with friends, family, and reflecting on my past experiences, I realized I love listening and helping others. So, I sought Graduate school for Counseling here in New Orleans, my home, and decided to stay to continue this work here. I have a passion for working with children, adolescents, and individuals struggling with trauma either current or past. However, I am skilled with working with non-trauma related concerns as well. I enjoy seeing clients grow after working with them to increase their understanding of themselves (self-worth and self-esteem), trusting and connecting with others, and other disruptions that contradict your understanding of how things are “supposed” to be or feel. This can look like family, work, or partner problems, or just uncertainty of what to do next in life.
Why Children/Child Parent Relationships?
During my education, I was introduced to play therapy- a counseling technique used to help kids learn and communicate their emotions through play. For those that are parents, aunts/uncles/grandparents, caregivers this may sound crazy! But trying to understand that 4 (or 11) year old who is saying one thing, but it ends up being something totally different while they are screaming can be frustrating. I’ve been there! However, taking the time to play with kids at their level in this skillful way can help expand their emotional vocabulary and communication skills. It also opens the door for vulnerability and provides safety for them to share. I have had children tell or show me past experiences through playing with toys that regular talk therapy for sure wouldn’t have worked. With my first hand knowledge from working at local child Advocacy Centers and my play therapy clients, children need reassurance that they are safe first and can be heard, seen, and cared for. Taking the time to understand their world means a lot to them!

The client is charged per the hourly rate as detailed in the BSE Services Agreement.
Under a fixed-fee arrangement, the client pays for an agreed amount of work and BSE assumes the risk should there be extra work required. Shared savings can be negotiated into the fixed fee arrangement and may be credited to future work.

BSE can provide an in-house counsel style legal service in a variety of specialties for an agreed fee for an agreed period of time.
In a phased-fee arrangement, we agree upon the fees for distinct phases of work required. This type of arrangement works well for projects or issues with defined stages which can be estimated.

Chuseok in Boeun
After a long day on the road, I made it to my mother's house where she had a feast waiting for us. We had spinach, bean sprout salad, pan-fried snapper, marinated beef, ginseng kimchi, beef and turnip soup, and rice cakes. Oh, and egg battered fish and crab sticks. It was a great meal and it was great to have my fiancé and my mother get along so well. To walk off the meal we are at Beojusal temple at Songnisan mountain. It is truly great to get out of the craziness of Seoul.

There's some good news for medical spas that offer lip augmentation procedures: Allergan said the company has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval to market Juvederm Ultra XC for injection into the lips and perioral area for lip augmentation in adults over the age of 21.
The new indication of this filler can reportedly last up to one year. In clinical trials of Juvederm Ultra XC, it said the majority of subjects reported improvement in the softness, smoothness and natural look and feel of their lips through one year. In clinical trials, 79% of subjects showed a meaningful improvement in lip fullness three months after treatment. Additionally, more than 78% of subjects reported an improvement in their overall satisfaction with the look and feel of their lips at one year after treatment.
"I often see patients who have thin lips or lips that have become thinner over time. When discussing lip treatment with patients, they most often express concern over being able to achieve a natural-looking result," said Dr. Suzanne Kilmer, board certified dermatologist, clinical trial investigator and director of the Laser & Skin Surgery Center of Northern California.
"This is why I am very pleased that Allergan has conducted additional research to receive FDA approval of Juverderm Ultra XC for this new indication."
Juvederm Ultra XC is a smooth gel formulation made up of a modified form of hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring sugar found in the human body. The role of HA in the skin is to deliver nutrients and help the skin retain its natural moisture and softness. The gel formulation also contains a small amount of local anesthetic (lidocaine), which helps to improve the comfort of the injection.
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeon's 2014 Plastic Surgery Statistics report, procedures using hyaluronic acid soft tissue fillers, such as Juvederm Ultra, Juvederm Ultra Plus, Perlane, Restylane and Prevelle Silk, are on the rise. Procedures using hyaluronic acid fillers reached 1.80 million in the U.S. in 2014, up 8% from a year earlier.

RON BARTIZEK and JERRY LYNOTT
Wilkes-Barre Times Leader
WILKES-BARRE, Pa. - Boscov's Department Stores will remain an independent, family-owned business under terms of a recapitalization and restructuring that was announced Monday.
At the same time, Albert Boscov, 76, and Edwin Lakin, 82, have retired and redeemed their equity interests. Ken Lakin, son of Edwin Lakin and nephew of Albert Boscov, will take the helm as chairman and chief executive officer.
"We spent a lot of time over the past 18 months studying our strategic alternatives, including a sale of the business, and concluded that remaining family owned and operated was much better than a sale from the perspective of our customers, employees, vendors and the communities we have been fortunate enough to have been part of over the years," Albert Boscov said in a press release.
Longtime associate Tom Jacobs looked positively on the change, saying Ken Lakin will "preserve" the business model established by the chain's founders that's built on concern for the community and employees.
Jacobs said he spoke with Lakin, who told him, "I'm going to run it the way they want me to run it."
Now manager at the Neshaminy Mall store in Bensalem, Jacobs came to Wilkes-Barre in 1980 after Boscov's purchased the former Fowler, Dick and Walker -- The Boston Store. He left in 1993, went to the new store in the Mall at Steamtown in Scranton and returned to Wilkes-Barre in 1998 for a few years.
"One of the things that Wilkes-Barre did for us," said Jacobs, "it made us a real department store."
Vendors and investors took notice as Al Boscov showed off the Wilkes-Barre property that was the number one volume store in the chain throughout the 1980s, Jacobs said. "Wilkes-Barre really brought us into the department-store age."
Boscov's influence has stretched far beyond commerce. Shortly after taking over the Wilkes-Barre store, he convinced other downtown property owners to outline their buildings in white lights for the holiday season, an idea he patterned after Boathouse Row in Philadelphia.
"Wherever Albert put a store, he became a citizen of that municipality," said Curtis Montz, who stayed on through the transition and worked as an administrator at the Wilkes-Barre store until 1987.
Boscov also spearheaded the creation of the F.M. Kirby Center for the Performing Arts. An organization called "Save the Paramount" had been struggling to preserve the landmark theater on Public Square. "They were practically penniless," Montz said.
Boscov moved the effort in another direction, but kept the existing group members on the committee. "He put his money where his mouth was, and got a lot of other money."
"I drove Albert around when we were raising money," Montz said. "He was incredible."
When the first executive director didn't work out, Boscov volunteered Montz to run the refurbished theater.
"Unbeknownst to me he told the newspaper he had a guy to run the place," said Montz, who was out of town celebrating his wedding anniversary.
Boscov's influence has continued to include helping to get the downtown theaters off the ground. Al Boscov had worked with Mayor Tom McGroarty's administration, then continued his support when the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Business and Industry took over the project.
"Albert brought Wayne Anderson (the theater operator) to town," said Chamber president Stephen Barrouk. "He helped recruit this company for us."
Barrouk was pleased when told Boscov's would remain in family hands. He had accepted that the chain might follow industry trends and merge with a larger department store.
"I figured that would be a natural thing that might happen." He's hopeful new management will continue its commitment to the community. "That family has been good to Wilkes-Barre over the years. We hope it stays that way."
Boscov's was founded as a neighborhood store in Reading in the 1920s by Solomon Boscov, Albert's father and an immigrant from Russia.
Today Boscov's generates yearly sales revenue of about $1.1 billion and is the largest full-line, family-owned independent department store in the country. The company employs more than 10,000 people and has 40 stores in six states: Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and Virginia.
New chairman Ken Lakin said he expects to add 10 or more stores in the next few years.
Boscov's will continue to be 100 percent owned by the children and grandchildren of the families of Edwin and Alma Lakin, Albert and Eunice Boscov, Joseph and Shirley Boscov, and James and Shirley Boscov Holzman, Boscov said.
Neither Boscov nor Lakin were available for comment Monday.

Unless your previous Dentist used digital radiography and can forward your most recent radiographs to our office prior to your visit we will take the necessary radiographs in order to diagnose your current conditions. Most radiographs that we see from other offices do not allow us to accurately diagnose your current conditions. It is vital that we have diagnostic-quality radiographs. If we do not have the proper radiographs to properly diagnose your current dental conditions, we will take the necessary radiographs in order to formulate the necessary treatment plan to address your Dental health. Our radiographic policy is to take the necessary radiographs to accurately diagnose the possible presence of dental disease. Regardless of what your insurance will or won’t cover or what radiographs may have been taken in the past we will take what is necessary for proper diagnosis. Generally, at your first visit to our office for a Comprehensive New Patient examination your treating Dentist will determine what radiographs he will need for diagnosis.
Please refer to Patient Resources section of our website to get more information. If you have any other questions feel free to call us or email us.
My kids loved Dr.Makani and his whole team! Visiting a dentist always used to make them anxious but with Eagle Smile’s they are so happy. I will highly recommend them. Finally we found a great dentist in our area!!!!
I had en emergency tooth issue and they had me in within just a few days. They were very nice and explained everything in simple terms. I walked out feeling confident that I am in good hands! Definitely recommend Eagle Family Smiles!
I give 5 stars PLUS! What welcoming experiences I’ve had with this amazing team!! If your nervous, you do NOT have to be here!! They make you you feel so relaxed and comfortable. I’ve put off going to the dentist for years due to being so scared and nervous. Not now!! I truly recommend Eagle Family Smiles.
They have the best dental hygienist east of the Mississippi. Hands down! Samantha provides such a soothing and enjoyable teeth cleaning process you will actually look forward to your appointment.

Michael Franc asserts that the Democratic Party is now the Party of the rich, and right here is where he asserts it. When you click that link the first thing that will hit your eyes is a Liberty Bell, um, The Heritage Society, notorious for making numbers mean anything they decide they ought to mean in the Republican Party's benefit. This is a truly scholarly work, unreferenced beyond IRS records of incomes in excess of $100K single and $200K joint for CDs and a national poll showing Democratic trending in that group and picks 18 CDs Democrats have 2 Senators in. The thing is ass-umptions from start to finish.
What are the demographics of income distribution of those CDs? No information. What do exit polls reveal in those CDs? No info. What is the registration distribution across incomes? No info. What is the Union demographic? No info. What is the educational level demographic of the CDs? No info. No information is the hallmark of this political hackery. From this nonsense we're to make judgements about the political/socio-economic leanings of the present and future Democratic Party?
Will I argue the socio-economic leanings of Hillary? I don't like her, I think she's a corporate tool. She's not elected to anything other than Sen. (D-NY) at this point. She is sliding in the polls, and has slid badly in the online poll I noted previously which includes the educated and higher income demographic that Franc is pumping.
Do the current Democratic policies reflect entirely my particular blue collar working man views? Nope. Could I expect that from any Party? Nope. Is corporate power and the influence of wealth in any Party non-existent? Oh, sure. The real simple question is this: are the Heritage Society and the Republican Party the tools of the plutocracy? And as Twain noted, there are liars, damn liars, and statisticians.

According to a survey sent to creators in the Spotify for Podcasters program, the streaming giant might be doing away with the Anchor brand. Anchor, which Spotify acquired for $340 million in a deal that included the studio Gimlet, is a free podcast hosting service. In 2020, Anchor said that its service was used to create 1 million new podcasts, accounting for 80% of new shows uploaded to Spotify that year.
But now that Anchor has been part of Spotify for almost three years, the company appears to be considering a rebrand. In the survey, sent to some podcasters who have claimed their show on Spotify for Podcasters, Spotify’s user research team shared information about the possible rebrand, which is still being tested with potential users.
“Anchor and Spotify for Podcasters are now Spotify Creator Studio, the all-in-one platform for creators of all kinds (and sizes) to express themselves and find success on Spotify,” the sample announcement in the survey reads.
Currently, podcasters can join Spotify for Podcasters to access analytics about their show, even if they host with another service like Libsyn, Podbean or Buzzsprout. Those who host via Anchor have access to features like subscription monetization and video podcasts, but only listeners using Spotify are able to interact with that content.
If the proposed rebrand from the survey were to go through, Spotify for Podcasters would be rebranded to “Spotify Creator Studio – Unhosted.” Anchor would be rebranded to “Spotify Creator Studio – Hosted.” Both products would remain free.
Spotify’s survey of podcasters about this potential change indicates an interest in the rebrand, but that doesn’t mean it will come to fruition.
“At Spotify, we routinely conduct a number of surveys and tests in an effort to improve our user experience. Some of these end up paving the path for our broader user experience and others serve only as an important learning. We have no news to share on future plans at this time,” a Spotify spokesperson told TechCrunch.
Over the last few years, Spotify has made a number of podcasting acquisitions like Anchor and Gimlet. These include Podz, a podcast discovery platform, and Megaphone, a podcast ads company. For four of its recent acquisitions — Findaway, Podsights, Chartable and Sonantic — the company paid about $295 million.

The Australian Catholic Bishops Conference has called for the Australian Government to move quickly to hold a referendum on an Indigenous Voice to Parliament once a model for the Voice has been chosen.
The Bishops Conference submission supports the views of the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Catholic Council (NATSICC) and urges engagement with groups for whom faith is important.
“The models proposed for the National Voice should include the involvement of the widest variety of First People organisations, including religious faith-based groups like NATSICC,” the Conference’s submission said.
“Faith and spirituality are an essential part of the lives of many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and so should not be excluded from the National Voice structure.
“The structure should reach as many First People as possible and provide a very clear and open pathway for people to contribute their views to local, regional and national consultation processes.”
The submission, responding to the Indigenous Voice Co-Design Process interim report, was signed by the chairs of the Bishops Commission for Relations with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples and the Bishops Commission for Social Justice, Mission and Service.
The National Voice proposes that a body made up of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people would provide advice to the Australian Parliament and Government on relevant laws, policies and programs. It would also engage with the Australian Parliament and Government during the development of relevant policies and laws.
The Bishops Conference’s submission said that the Indigenous Voice “should be able to show how it has helped Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with very practical measures in their lives, including the preservation of their unique cultural heritage, their economic wellbeing and their physical safety”.
“Once a National Voice model has been recommended, the Government should move quickly to implement its commitment to have a referendum,” write Bishops Columba Macbeth-Green OSPPE and Vincent Long van Nguyen OFM Conv.
“Should the referendum question pass, the Government and Australia’s Parliament should introduce and pass enabling legislation as soon as possible.”
The submission notes that there are more than 130,000 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Catholics in Australia. The Diocese of Broome has the highest proportion of Indigenous Catholics, at almost 60 per cent, and the Archdiocese of Brisbane has the largest number – more than 15,000.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders were among the fastest-growing Catholic demographics between the past two Australia Censuses.
As well as the Bishops Conference and NATSICC, other Catholic groups to make submissions include Catholic Religious Australia, Australian Catholic University and diocesan Aboriginal ministry and justice and peace offices.

After much anticipation, The Boys spin-off Gen V will premiere on Prime Video on 29 September.
Set in Godolkin University, a prestigious college for superheroes, Gen V expands the diabolical world of the hit Prime Video series The Boys. The thrilling series follows a group of young supes as they train to be the next generation of heroes – preferably with lucrative endorsements. Alongside the typical college experience, these students also put their physical and moral boundaries to the test to compete for the school’s highly coveted top ranking.
When the young supes discover a dark and sinister plot at the university, they must decide if they will be heroes or villains in their own stories.
The series cast includes Jaz Sinclair, Chance Perdomo, Lizze Broadway, Shelley Con, Maddie Phillips, London Thor, Derek Luh, Asa Germann, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Sean Patrick Thomas, and Marco Pigossi. Gen V also has special appearances from Jessie T. Usher, Claudia Doumit, Colby Minifie, and P.J Byrne, reprising their roles from The Boys.
The cast of The Boys including fan favourites like Jack Quaid (Hughie Campbell), Antony Starr (Homelander), Erin Moriarty (Starlight), have also released a diabolical welcome message to the students of Goldokin University filled with advice for the newcomers.
The series will debut exclusively on Prime Video with three episodes on Friday 29 September, followed by weekly episodes, leading to an epic finale on 3 November.
Get a sneak peek at the series with the official trailer here. As a heads up, this is a red band trailer, meaning it uses some strong language and includes a bit of gore.
Get to know the main characters from Gen V.
Marie Moreau played by Jaz Sinclair
Marie is an 18-year-old superhero with a unique superpower – the ability to control and weaponise her own blood. A freshman at Godolkin University, she is determined to prove she is strong enough to join The Seven but is distracted when she stumbles upon a mysterious discovery at the school.

When Andre realises that something strange is happening at the school, he takes it upon himself to investigate the mystery.
Emma Meyer played by Lizze Broadway

Indira Shetty played by Shelley Conn
Indira, the dean of Godolkin University, may not possess any superpowers, but she uses her background in superhero psychology to transform the school into the most elite college for superheroes. She also takes an interest in Marie when she arrives on campus.
Cate Dunlap played by Maddie Phillips

Jordan Li played by Derek Luh and London Thor
A highly competitive student, Jordan has the unique ability to change between male and female forms, each with its own set of powers. In their male form, they are dense and indestructible, while in their female form, they are agile and can launch energy blasts. Their exceptional abilities have made them a standout teaching assistant at Brink’s School of Crime Fighting.Derek Luh plays Jordan Li in Gen VLondon Thor plays Jordan Li in Gen V
Sam played by Asa Germann
An extremely powerful with super strength and invulnerability, Sam is plagued by hallucinations which make it hard for him to discern between what is – and is not – reality.

1. More Diggers Wanted for Afghanistan, Patrick Walters, Australian, 2008-09-08
NATO’s new top commander in Afghanistan says the international coalition is “struggling to win” a strategic victory against the Taliban and he wants a significant increase in troop numbers, including more Australians, to ensure success. General McKiernan said he needed “upwards of four manoeuvre brigade combat teams” – about 15,000 extra troops – to manage the counter-insurgency fight now focused in eastern and southern Afghanistan.
2. U.S. and Pakistan Meet Secretly to Discuss Border Violence, Eric Schmitt, IHT, 2008-08-28
The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff secretly convened a highly unusual meeting of senior US and Pakistani commanders on an aircraft carrier in the Indian Ocean to discuss how to combat the escalating violence along the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan. The star-studded list of participants and the extreme secrecy surrounding the talks underscored how gravely both nations regard the growing militant threat.

3. India Uranium Sales Ban Stays, Mark Dodd, Australian, 2008-09-08
The Rudd Government’s ban on uranium sales to India will stay in place despite the decision by supplier nations, including Australia, to end the 34-year embargo on nuclear trade with New Delhi. The Nuclear Suppliers Group has endorsed a waiver of its rules for India. Trade Minister Simon Crean confirmed Canberra’s ban on yellowcake sales to India would stay in place as long as it refused to sign the Non-Proliferation Treaty.

4. Former Envoy Says We Can Do More on Nuclear Disarmament, Jonathan Pearlman, SMH, 2008-09-08
The Rudd Government should harness the nation’s clout as a uranium supplier to push for a disarmament declaration by the region’s leaders and a US commitment to reduce its reliance on nuclear weapons. Former diplomat, Rory Medcalf, warns that the rise of nuclear energy in Asia combined with persistent national rivalries poses a growing long-term threat to Australia in the so-called “Asian century”.
- Nuclear Security: What Else Can Australia Do? Rory Medcalf, Lowy, September 2008
5. Tread Warily Near a Swaggering Bear, Tony Parkinson, Age, 2008-09-06
Australia can use its uranium as a weapon, but not by reneging on Russia. For the Rudd Government, the answer is not to stop uranium sales to Russia. A more constructive contribution would be to ramp up our uranium exports to Russia’s European neighbours so they have sufficient energy alternatives to liberate themselves from dependence on the dictates of Vladimir Putin.
6. Spy Case Note Gone, Richard Baker, Age, 2008-09-08
A document detailing the alleged aggressive interviewing tactics of a Federal Government security official who interrogated Australian spy Merv Jenkins before his suicide in 1999 has been destroyed, possibly in breach of Commonwealth laws. The revelation comes as the department has backed away from reopening the investigation into the circumstances of Mr Jenkins’ suicide.

7. Younger Australians Wary of ‘US Meddling’, Daniel Flitton, Age, 2008-09-08
A poll to be released today shows younger Australians are more likely to see US meddling in the neighbourhood as a problem. Indonesians rank Australia among the top four regional troublemakers, with America heading the list ahead of Malaysia and Israel. In turn, Australians overall are more likely to regard Indonesia with hostility, while also being wary of Iran, China and North Korea.
8. Muslim Unrest in Philippines May Spread to Neighbours: Analysts, AFP, Daily Star, 2008-09-05
With peace talks between the Philippine government and Muslim rebels in tatters, analysts are warning violence will escalate and could spill over into neighbouring countries. President Gloria Arroyo this week scrapped the government panel handling the negotiations, a move analysts say ended any hopes of settling the four-decades-old Muslim insurgency before she leaves office in 2010.

text: It seems like a good thing to plant leafy green vegetables next to the newly planted fruit trees. Well, atleast I think it’s that. Perhaps it’s just the hay? It seems to attract the rabbits and they do their droppings in there. If they are eating the greens in there then it’s two positives. One, that it helps with the animals adding their manure around the tree and two it keeps them out of the real vegie garden.

The band has been a collaborative effort from its inception in the summer of 2007. The concept for the band grew out of my interest in the history of my hometown and its many bands. Many people know about the textile mills’ baseball teams, but there were mill-sponsored bands, too – by my count, over a dozen in upstate South Carolina during the first half of the twentieth century. When I learned of the formation of a new group called the Greenville Textile Heritage Society, I shared my research with them, and they asked if I would be willing to put together an old-fashioned textile band to support their efforts to promote and preserve the region’s textile heritage. “The rest is history,” as they say.
Where has the group performed?
We’ve been invited to perform throughout upstate South Carolina as well as in Charleston, Georgia, Alabama, and North Carolina. We enjoy playing for heritage festivals and mill reunions, but we’ve also been honored to play for the South Carolina Music Educators Association and for several Greenville Drive baseball games at Fluor Field. We average about one performance per month. One of the highlights of our season is our spring concert at the Peace Center’s Wyche Pavilion.
Who are the band members and how are they chosen?
The players were initially selected through a process of blind auditions. I posted announcements about the new band around town and the newspaper ran a story on our efforts in the Sunday paper. Email and word-of-mouth also played a big role in getting the word out to musicians in the Greenville/Spartanburg area. We garnered a good group of about 15 players in that initial round of auditions and have since added a few more to round out the instrumentation. It has been a distinct privilege for the last four years to work with these wonderful volunteers who are passionate about music, history, and community.
What were some of the highlights and challenges of being in “Milltown Pride”?
We filmed the championship game scene on what must have been the hottest day of the summer, and we were out there wearing our wool uniforms! But I will never forget when the players took the field and we struck up the band. The crowd went wild—it was as if we had stepped back in time for a brief but exhilarating moment.
Tell us about the music on your new CD, “Textile Tunes” – (ex.: what type of music is it and who is on the recording, etc.)
Textile Tunes is a collection of delightful musical gems from the golden age of the town band. You’ll find some familiar tunes such as “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” as well as the never-before-recorded rarity, the “Greenville City Club Waltz Polka,” a tune published in 1872 and dedicated to the officers and members of the Greenville (SC) City Club. We have record of upstate textile bands lasting into the 1940s, so we included a couple Glenn Miller tunes from that era, too. In addition to the unique historical repertoire, the Textile Heritage Band is set apart from its modern concert band counterpart in terms of size and instrumentation, and this has a decided effect on the sound of the CD. Photographs and newspaper accounts from the early twentieth century reveal small bands consisting of mostly brass instruments with a few clarinets and percussion. So for authenticity’s sake, I have limited the size of the group to about 20 players, with one player on each part. Several of the instruments we use are from that period (for example, a 1925 helicon tuba, cornets dating back to 1895 and 1910, a 1916 xylophone). All this combines to give us a unique sound that provides the listener with a refreshing trip back in time.
How can one learn more about the band and upcoming performances?

Nigeria is a growing market with a lot of potential for businesses, and as a business owner in Nigeria, you are likely aware of the rising costs of energy. However, did you know that there are ways to combat this issue through the use of renewable energy? By harnessing the power of the sun and wind, you can create a sustainable source of energy for your business that will help you save money in the long run. Oil prices have been on the rise in recent months due to fears of an impending shortage in supply. This is largely due to economic sanctions and embargoes imposed on Russian exports by NATO member states. As a result, companies around the world are positioning themselves to hedge against any future shortages.
In Ukraine, this has led to soaring petrol prices, with many consumers struggling to afford fuel. This is particularly worrisome given that Russia recently invaded the country.It’s clear that the conflict between Russia and Ukraine is having a significant impact on global oil markets. We can only wait and see how this situation plays out in the coming months. The price of diesel has increased significantly since the beginning of the year, from an average of N288/litre in January to over N700/litre by the end of March. This has forced many businesses that rely almost entirely on diesel-powered generators to adjust their operating hours to reduce their costs. The National Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) recently revealed that electricity tariffs charged by electricity distribution companies (DisCos) in Nigeria will increase in the coming months following the removal of power sector subsidies by the Federal Government.
In Nigeria, rising energy costs and inadequate power supply from the national grid have made it necessary for business owners to explore cheaper off-grid sources of energy. Solar power is one such alternative that is becoming increasingly popular in Nigeria due to its relative affordability and efficiency. When it comes to alternative energy sources, solar, wind, biomass, hydro, geothermal, tide and wave are some of the first things that come to mind. However, of all these options, only solar energy is widely available in the Nigerian market for both residential and commercial use. This is due to the relatively advanced state of indigenous expertise in solar photovoltaic technology, especially when it comes to the assembly, installation and repair of solar panels.
SMEs and other businesses that are looking for more affordable long-term alternatives to fossil fuel energy sources can turn to solar energy. Though the initial investment in procuring a solar energy system (solar panels, batteries and inverters) may be substantial, it doesn’t come with the regular costs of fuel as its source of energy is free from nature. Solar energy systems are also typically more durable than petrol-powered and diesel-powered generators. Solar batteries typically have a lifespan of 5-20 years, while solar panels last 25 years or more. Both types of equipment require minimal servicing and Infrequent maintenance.
There are various payment plans made available by solar energy companies in Nigeria to businesses who want to switch to solar energy, which can help to offset the initial cost. These include lease-to-own plans, where customers can pay for the solar panels in installments over a period of time, and usage-based payment models where customers only pay for the amount of energy they use. Additionally, there are low-cost financing options from commercial banks that can help businesses make the transition to solar power. The market for solar and other renewable energy sources is booming in Nigeria. This is because many communities in rural parts of the country are not connected to the national grid.
Furthermore, those who do have access to the grid complain about its inadequacy. The Association of Nigerian Electricity Distributors has stated that Nigeria currently has an electricity supply gap of 180,000 MW. Some of this deficit could be alleviated by renewable energy. The government has been encouraging the growth and development of the renewable energy industry in Nigeria by offering various forms of incentives to foreign and domestic investors. It could complement this by offering incentives that would increase the demand for renewable energy among the general public, especially businesses. For example, it could offer tax credits to businesses that transition from polluting and hazardous fossil fuel generators to renewable energy sources.
The switch to renewable energy is a win-win for businesses and society at large. Not only is it better for the environment, but it also saves businesses money in the long run. What’s more, it would help to stabilize Nigeria’s currency exchange rate. According to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), approximately 40% of the country’s foreign exchange (FX) is spent on importing petroleum products like gasoline and diesel every year. This is an issue that the Nigerian government and businesses need to prioritize. Renewable energy is a smart and sustainable solution that everyone can benefit from

Stevie Wonder - born Stevland Hardaway Judkins in Saginaw, Michigan - turned 60 years old yesterday. That's right, the undisputed music legend, once known as Little Stevie Wonder, has hit the big 6-0.
To celebrate Wonder's birthday, let's look back at just a few of his stunning achievements. To say most are groundbreaking is akin to pointing out that water is wet.
In 1961, Ronnie White of The Miracles brought the then 11-year-old Wonder (he had already changed his name and was an accomplished multi-instrumentalist) to the attention of Motown Records CEO Berry Gordy. Gordy promptly signed Wonder to Motown's Tamla label, billing him as 'The Eighth Wonder Of The World.' Two releases failed to chart, but in 1963 Little Stevie Wonder had his first smash with Fingertips (Pt 2).
Dropping the 'Little' from his moniker, Wonder scored an across-the-board hit with Uptight (Everything's Alright) in 1965, which he co-wrote with Slyvia Moy and Henry Cosby. In 1995, Oasis recorded a song called Step Out, written and sung by Noel Gallagher. But the track sounded much-too-close to Wonder's hit. Step Out was left off the album (What's The Story) Morning Glory? but was eventually issued as a B-side with the writing credits 'Gallagher/Wonder/Cosby/Moy.'
And hey, let's not forget what a supremely talented musician Wonder is. Check him out on the drums. Better than a lot of sighted players, wouldn't you say?
In 1970, Wonder won his first Grammy nomination for the first song he produced himself: Signed, Sealed, Delivered. But it also marked a turning point for the artist, as he made it clear to Berry Gordy that he wanted greater control over his music.
In 1972, after almost leaving Motown, Wonder released what is now regarded as his first album masterpiece, Music Of My Mind. He played nearly all the instruments and began to experiment with synthesizers. That same year, he issued Talking Book, which included the number one hit Superstition, a song originally intended for guitarist Jeff Beck. (Special note: it does not get any funkier than this!)
The '70s were a golden period for Stevie Wonder. Writer, singer, instrumentalist, producer, he released a string of classic albums such as Innervisions, Fulfillingness' First Finale and Songs In The Key Of Life. Increasingly, his music reflected his views on both social and spiritual issues.
During the 1980s, Wonder was atop the charts again with the album Hotter Than July, which featured his ode to Bob Marley, Master Blaster (Jammin').
Later that decade, Wonder collaborated with Paul McCartney for the some-love-it-others-can't stand it smash Ebony And Ivory. A few years later, he took part in the historic We Are The World recording.
During the '90s, Wonder's musical output slowed a bit but not by much. He recorded the soundtrack for director Spike Lee's film Jungle Fever, played harmonica on Lenny Kravitz's version of Deuce for a KISS tribute album and teamed with Babyface for the song How Come, How Long which concerned domestic violence.
During the past decade, Wonder released the well-received album A Time To Love, returned to live performances for the first time in 10 years, and took part (with myriad guest stars) in this spirited take on one of his best-loved gems for President Barack Obama.
Happy Birthday, Stevie. We at MusicRadar wish you many, many more. Thanks for the music!

Recently, a study was published that said that, in the opinions of Russians, foreigners associate Russia primarily with bears, vodka, and the country’s President Vladimir Putin. Also on the list of associations were cold and hospitality.
Russian Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov, commented on the results of this study, saying that “there is nothing wrong with Russia being associated with balalaikas, bears, and vodka, as these symbols evoke positive emotions in people”, TASS reports.
“Thank God that we have such symbols. We did not invent them, all this comes from life […] They just perceive us as a country of balalaika, bears, vodka. This is, firstly, a sign of fun and a good attitude towards life. And bears is a sign of our respect for nature,” Lavrov said.
According to the Minister, it is much better if associations with Russia evoke positive emotions and smiles, just opposite to what such a symbol of the United States as the Indians evokes in many people. He stressed that the Indians’ fate is incomparably worse than the fate of Russian bears because “they live in reservations”, while “bears are walking all over the country”.

“This is to inform the public that the blood donation exercise that was to take place tomorrow 2/3/2018, in celebration of International Women’s Day has been postponed. A later date will be communicated,”
The development comes at a backdrop when members of the opposition led by Mukono Municipality MP Betty Nambooze are planning to mobilize hundreds of people to storm City Square to donate blood.
