off tonight's night of heaviness is Hell, and
damn are they awesome, the other bands on tonight's
bill are going to have to be on top of their game.
I haven't seen or heard of this band before and
I really can't stress enough that you should see
them, they put on a really good show, the 3rd
song in is great theatre as the vocalist brings
out a cat o' nine tails as a prop and uses it
to good effect enhancing the song and set alike.
This band have got some mighty tunes at their
disposal, the 4th song is the clear highlight
of the set for it's awesome opening riffs that
continue throughout the song. Fantastic opening
to the tour.
up are Scottish metallers, Bleed from Within,
a band that are all about the aggressive heaviness
with a stage presence to go with their music.
Opening their set with 'Colony' a good start and
delivering their intentions for what seems to
be an aggressive but short set, 'Leech' followed
delivering more heaviness under red light to maybe
give a bit of menace to the song. The band blast
through their set with relative ease with the
vocalist bounding around the stage trying his
best to get the crowd worked up, and to some extent
it works. They are not the most original band
but they play and craft well.
headliners tonight are Carcass, I wasn't sure
what to expect, I was expecting it to be wall
to wall unintelligible noise but thankfully that
proved not to be the case, they sound more akin
to Amon Amarth but definitely melodic death metal
for the most part, as they blast their way through
the likes of, 'Buried Dreams', 'Incarnated Solvent
Abuse', which open the set, it's definitely melodic.
But the set gets more aggressive and heavy as
they go on with, 'This Mortal Coil' and 'Cadaver
Pouch Conveyor System'. The vocals are not my
favourite as half the time you can't understand
what's being growled but you get through it as
bits are understandable. This band is all about
the music no stage craft to speak of but I don't
think they care much for it, as their focus is
the best they can and it shows, there are some
good riffs on show here with bags of heavy aplomb.
Its's good to see a band that has been around
for 25 or so years via various line up changes
and are still going. Overall it's not a bad set,
feels a bit lengthy at times but they have warmed
this crowd up nicely for the headliners.
It's been some time since I last saw these mighty
Viking metallers, Amon Amarth, everyday should
have some Viking metal in it, I hope their popularity
has gone up due to the recent Marvel Films, this
band definitely deserve more recognition.
They open their set with 'Father of the Wolf',
a strong opening song to get the crowd going again
which they do, going just a tad mental, it really
is about time this band started headlining in
this country, they follow the opening song with
'Deceiver of the Gods' and 'Death in Fire', two
great songs to really keep the party cooking along,
Their newer songs fit in nicely with the older
stuff sticking to the formula is a good way to
keep the fans happy especially when they are well
written and these fit the bill perfectly, these
new songs being 'Deceiver of the Gods' the latest
albums title track and 'As Loke falls'.
Amarth do perform one of my favourite songs, 'Guardians
of Asgaard', I enjoy this song thoroughly, such
a good riff and great song overall, as I'm sure
it is for most of the crowd judging from the roar
when the songs announced by Johan (vocals). I
would have been well pleased with them playing
all of that album as there are so many great songs.
They only have 70 minutes to perform their set,
with chit chat between songs could have squeezed
another song in but Johan keeps the crowd well
entertained. They continue their set with the
likes of 'Runes to My Memory' and yet another
all time favourites, 'Varyags of Miklagaard',
my set highlight, what a tune that is, sending
the crowd a tad mental with that superb riff.
'Destroyer of the Universe' and 'War of the Gods'
bring this set ever closer to it's finish, the
set really has flown by due to it being rather
entertaining to say the least.
The final two songs of the night are my favourite
albums title track, 'Twilight of the Thunder God',
it's a great song with a really catchy riff and
lyrics about Thor, awesome really! And the final
song of the evening is 'The pursuit of the Vikings',
rounds off a really top night of entertainment.
Bleed From within 3/5
Amon Amarth 5/5

Military historians and family history researchers along with the many of the thousands who regularly visit the battlefields and Commonwealth War cemeteries around the globe each year, will be delighted with this superb large format colourful volume, which in a mixture of words and beautiful photographs chronicles the history of the multi-national organization that is tasked with caring for the final resting places of over 1.7 million Commonwealth war dead of both the Great and Second World Wars.
The Commonwealth War Graves Commission who's work is funded by the Australian, British, Canadian, Indian, New Zealand and South African Governments, skillfully and caringly maintains cemeteries in no less than 23,000 cemeteries in locations spanning 170 countries worldwide, was founded 90 years ago with the aim of recording the exact burial places of servicemen killed in battle and providing them with a grave, where without distinction in rank, race or creed, but with uniformity would be remembered in perpetuity.
Writing this book would not have been an easy task, however the author has succeeded, in not only covering the history of the Commission, but has also cleverly "woven in" many fascinating stories behind the headstones adding a human and sensitive perspective to the history too. This factor alone makes fascinating reading however, when the text is coupled together with Brian Harris's brilliant and very often artistic photographs taken in Europe, Canada, the Middle and Far East, the volume becomes more valuable to both the researcher and casual reader.
As all royalties from the sale of this excellent volume are being donated towards the work of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, I would therefore urge anyone with an interest is this fascinating subject to purchase this volume to assist them in keeping up their excellent work.

Tutorial topic: how to let the player have a variable amount of money at their disposal
Even if I'm not into tutorials about something an extension/studying documentation could do just fine, I've recieved an offer for doing this, so… here comes nothing. Check this tutorial if you'd like to let your player's action influence their amount of money.
Template used for this tutorial: Sample Scripted-based UI, 720 x 1280 (my patron wants to develop a mobile game)
- Having read the Beginner's Guide. I can't help you either otherwise.
- Giving the player an initial amount of money (not necessary)
- First, let's decide which kind of variable we should use for storing the current amount of money. It is obviously bound to be a number variable, and since we may need to use it at any point of the game it should also be global.
- Setting up your common events (in the database)
- Go to the Database's "Common Events" section and create three new records called "Show current money", "Change money amount" and "Hide current money"
- If you want to customize these common events at your heart's content, this is the good time to do it
- Please note that "Change money amount" ADDS Factor to Money, so if you want to make the player pay for something instead of getting paid, pass a negative number as parameter
- If for some reason the player's money amount goes under 0, the first common event automatically sets it to zero. Still, you should check if the player has enough money before letting them buy something anyway.
- Setting up your scene (in the scene editor)

There's a $100 million lawsuit that was filed against Beyonce by a video game company on Tuesday, for ruining Christmas. From the New York Post:
The superstar was sued in Manhattan Supreme Court by a video game company Gate Five, which teamed up with her for a dance game called "Starpower: Beyoncé." The game was due out this November, the suit says, but went belly-up when the "Single Ladies" singer abruptly asked for more money last December. The suit calls it "a bad faith breach of contract so callous that, on what appeared to be a whim, she destroyed Gate Five's business, and drove 70 people into unemployment, the week before Christmas."
Gate Five CEO told The Post's Dareh Gregorian, "It was a very shocking and disappointing turn of events that no one saw coming, and now we're all trying to pick up the pieces." The suit claims that Beyoncé had "already negotiated lavish compensation" for the game, made an "extortionate demand for entirely new compensation" at a "crucial moment in the project's development," causing the main financier to back out.
Beyonce is no stranger to making outrageous demands. So we hear too. Stay tuned. We'll be checking in on this again.

Partnerships, as corporate companies, have their own assets, with which are fully liable for their commitment. However, the liability of partners is not excluded - it is referred to as subsidiary, which means that in the first instance for the liabilities of the company, the company itself is responsible up to the amount of its assets, and only when the execution of the company's assets remains ineffective, the creditor can enforce the execution of personal assets of the partners.
Partnerships do not have legal personality, but they have legal capacity, which means that they can on their own behalf acquire rights, enter into commitments, sue and be sued. These companies are required to maintain record books, regardless of the amount of their revenue. Exceptions are general partnerships and limited liability partnerships, which start their obligatory record books if their net revenues from sales of goods, products and financial operations for the previous fiscal year amount to at least EUR 1 200 000. In order to determine the limit in PLN, the amounts which are expressed in Euros are converted to PLN at the average exchange rate announced by the National Polish Bank on 30 September of the year preceding the fiscal year.
The legal basis for the functioning of partnerships is the Act of 15 September 2000 adapting the Code of Commercial Companies (: Journal of Laws from 2013 item 1030).

* Failed to fully repay debt due in November
* Has $790 mln gross debt vs $52 mln market capitalisation
* Says has enough funds to pay salaries in short term (Adds details on remaining funds)
By Silvia Antonioli
LONDON, Dec 1 (Reuters) - Iron ore mining company African Minerals has started to shut down its operation in Sierra Leone, the main focus of its business, because it does not have enough working capital, it said on Monday.
The miner (AML) is in a critical situation, battered by a 50 percent plunge in the iron ore price this year and the effects of the Ebola epidemic in West Africa.
It is struggling to shore up its depleted finances, and its London-listed shares have been suspended since Nov. 20 due to uncertainty about the company's future.
The company said it has sufficient funds to pay salaries in the short term and to pay for security, safety and evacuation of staff and contractors in Sierra Leone.
This should allow a prompt resumption of operations at the Tonkolili mine there when a financial solution is found, it said.
Its subsidiaries, however, have failed to make a repayment that was due to lenders at the end of November on a $250 million loan and the company is now in talks with its lenders about this and future obligations.
"In the absence of sufficient working capital African Minerals has commenced a temporary controlled shutdown of its operations in Sierra Leone," the company said in a statement.
"Without a significant injection of working capital, African Minerals is unable to initiate the cost-reduction strategies which would return the operations to cash flow positive status even at recent low iron ore prices."
In September the company outlined a recovery plan that it had hoped would boost revenue and help repay its hefty debt.
While its Tonkolili mine in Sierra Leone is burning cash, African Minerals is burdened by $790 million in gross debt.
The miner is now seeking to sell part of its 75 percent stake in the Tonkolili mine to raise funds, after it was unable to reach agreement for its Chinese partner in the mine, Shandong Iron and Steel, to release funds. Although it was in talks with "several groups" that have expressed an interest in buying a stake, there is no certainly that a deal will be forthcoming.
Shares (Frankfurt: DI6.F - news) in African Minerals have lost 95 percent of their value this year making its market capitalisation about $52 million currently. (Editing by Jason Neely/Keith Weir/Susan Fenton)


‘Worse than a crime; a mistake’
The mob of yahoos and cretins that broke into the United States capitol this week was not a spontaneous act of violence. Quite the contrary, it was a carefully planned criminal uprising designed to terrorize congress and prevent the election of president-elect Joe Biden.
It was clear orders had been given to the local security forces to largely disarm but accommodate the rioters, and allow them into the capitol buildings. By whom? Clearly by President Trump or his minions. There will probably be no written record. Trump, who grew up rubbing shoulders with gangsters and union thugs, certainly had learned the lesson taught by the late criminal lawyer Roy Cohen to always skirt the law and never leave a clear trail.
It’s also very likely that Trump tried to organize a military coup against his own government, what Latin Americans call an ‘autogolpe.’ That’s why ten former US defense secretaries, including the far-right Dick Cheney, felt compelled to issue a joint letter warning Trump not to involve the military in domestic politics. Draft-dodger Trump fancies himself a potential military genius. His effort at Bonapartism quickly failed.
A mob of low-IQ thugs waving Confederate flags was not enough to take over the US government. For this, military or paramilitary forces would have been needed to seize the Pentagon and major military bases, the major media, airports, telecommunications, the Treasury, and police HQ.
And yet there had been open talk for weeks of some sort of coup attempt by Trump supporters. Americans were so absorbed by the game of politics that they almost ignored the looming threat of a coup attempt by denizens of the far right, driven to a frenzy by Trump’s crass falsehoods about the election being stolen.
It’s interesting to compare Trump’s coup attempt with events in the Soviet Union in 1991. A cabal of die-hard communists, including Defense Minister Marshal Yazov, sought to overthrow the reformist government of Mikhail Gorbachev. They mounted a poorly-organized coup to seize state organs in Moscow and isolated Gorbachev at his retreat in Crimea.
The two Soviet mechanized divisions tasked with seizing Moscow went to the city center, then remained inactive due to lack of orders. Marshal Shaposhnikov refused to order his transport aircraft to bring more troops to Moscow to aid the coup. Special KGB ‘Alpha’ units refused to fire on insurgent leader Boris Yeltsin. In all, the highly patriotic Red Army refused to engage in the coup.
The coup failed and its leaders, most of them drunk on vodka, were rounded up and arrested. But this event, and the anti-Yeltsin coup two year later, marked the beginning of the end of the Soviet Union.
The coup leaders were initially jailed, then released. Stalin would have had them shot. The Soviet Union and its successor, Russia, never recovered.
Trump’s encouragement, and then refusal, to halt the storming of the capitol, will likely mark the end of his political career. He could be censored, or even jailed for his act of insurrection. His plans to run again for president in four years look highly unlikely to succeeded after his act of political arson. His supporters, who are large in numbers, should be deterred from advocating violence, Christian political extremism, extreme Zionism and environmental backwardness. The Republican Party needs a huge enema.
Americans deserve to be deeply embarrassed by this week’s events. Scenes of rioters inside the capitol waving Confederate flags conjure fears of a second American civil war: many of the states that voted for Trump were also part of the old civil war Confederacy.
As a New Yorker and life-long Eisenhower Republican, I was horrified by events in Washington. Trump was flying B-52 bombers over Iran while hooligans were trashing the capitol.


United Airlines and Jaguar Land Rover North America have launched the first gate-to-gate airport transfer service in the United States that uses an all-electric fleet. With service starting at Chicago O’Hare International Airport, United is offering chauffeured rides in the 2023 Jaguar I-PACE HSE for select MileagePlus Premier members to their connecting aircraft.
The I-PACE is the first all-electric performance SUV from Jaguar, featuring an estimated electric range of up to 246 miles and seating for five. Every vehicle will have Amazon Alexa connectivity and wireless device charging. “The new United-Jaguar ground transfer program offers travelers a moment of luxury and ease, while also raising sustainability standards for the airline industry,” says Luc Bondar, United marketing and loyalty vice president and MileagePlus president.
The vehicles are a benefit at United hub airports for select MileagePlus Premier members, who will be greeted by a Premier Services agent on the tarmac and given a ride to their connecting flight. “Both United and Jaguar have boldly pledged to advancing transportation technology that will help propel us toward a more sustainable future, and we are excited for travelers to have the opportunity to experience these innovations on the tarmac,” says Joe Eberhardt, president and CEO, Jaguar Land Rover North America.
By the end of the year, Jaguar SUVs are set to make up to 60 trips transferring 1,000 passengers per day at United’s hub airports, including Denver, Houston, Newark/New York, Washington D.C., San Francisco, and Los Angeles.
As an added benefit, through Dec. 31, 2022, United MileagePlus members can earn 50,000 miles through the purchase or lease a new Jaguar vehicle.

Zombies go with anything. Read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies lately? So this horror comedy will be remembered less for its rotting undead than the funny misadventures of a quartet of misfits in post-apocalyptic America. Jesse Eisenberg fills in as the poor man’s Michael Cera, Woody Harrelson does his funny redneck routine, Abigail Breslin is not annoying and Superbad‘s Emma Stone comes into her own as a sexy loner. They pick off the flesh-eaters on the way to the Pacific Palisades theme park like National Lampoon’s Vacation with a thirty-ought-six. There’s also a surprise appearance by … well, that would be telling. Load up on the popcorn and see for yourself.
Extras: Deleted scenes, FX documentary, making of featurette and commentary from cast and crew.

The health of our soil is often something taken for granted, but this autumn Head Gardener Amy is here with some helpful hints and tips to keep your flowerbeds flourishing!
October is a great time for taking stock of the growing year and looking at what has done well in the garden and what to try differently next year. One of my favourite things to do at this time of year is to apply a good layer of mulch to the garden beds and borders. This is a chance to really give something back to the garden after all it has given us over the season, to restore the nutrient balance in the soil and to nourish and encourage the soil fauna.
People often ask what is the best type of mulch to use as there are so many different kinds available, and each offers its own benefits depending on its properties. I believe the best kind is one that mimics the natural environment, for example leaf mould or wood chip which you would find on the woodland floor. These are the natural food source for many species of mycorrhizal fungi, which will breakdown the material over time whilst making physical connections with the plant roots. Myco means mushroom and rhizal means root; ‘root-fungi’. The fungi form a symbiotic relationship with the plants, making nutrients available to the plant and dramatically increasing the surface area of the roots which helps them find water at a greater distance.
In return the fungi will receive sugars from the host plant. These wonderful fungi will also help to protect plants from pest and disease and promote healthier growth, and if you are lucky, you will be rewarded with the awesome spectacle of seeing their fruiting bodies in the autumn! Using natural material will also encourage earthworm activity which is great for your soil, improving the structure and drainage, whilst also supporting the earthworm population. Remember, caring for nature is always going to help promote a healthy garden!
There are various ways of sourcing leaf mould and wood chip. If you are able to make your own that is ideal, although it’s not easy for everyone to do. You can get wood chip from local arborists, and if you can leave it to rot down a little bit before applying a couple of inches to your soil surface. If it’s completely fresh, you can still put it down, but just only an inch or so. You can collect leaves from your garden and put them in a pile to rot down for use the next year, and this will form a wonderful crumbly nutrient rich mulch what your plants will love. Homemade compost from your compost bin is the next best thing and always a wonderful and satisfying thing to put back into your garden.
Many people go directly to the horse manure option when choosing mulch for the garden. This can be a really good mulch and soil conditioner when growing vegetables, but is not a good mulch to use around shrubs and borders, as the high nitrogen content can actually damage mycorrhizal fungi and even kill them off. Manure can also contain wormers, which are said to damage your soil fauna.
People also like to choose bark because of the ornamental effect it provides, and it can be good for holding in moisture and keeping weeds down. However, it won’t add a lot of nutrients to your soil, it can take quite a long time to breakdown, and is expensive.
On another note, now is the time to think about harvesting rose hips, hawthorn berries and crab apples to make jellies and preserves, which make amazing Christmas presents full of healthy phytochemicals! Just remember to leave some for the wildlife to enjoy too!
Enjoy the fruits and vegetables of your labour and here’s hoping your homegrown haul will be just as bountiful next year.

“I grew up being afraid of drowning in my own bedroom,” said 23-year-old Mitzi Tan from the Philippines, reflecting on the impact the climate crisis has had on his mental wellbeing. Tan’s words form part of a new study which surveyed 10,000 young people aged 16 to 25 across ten different countries on the subject of the climate crisis and government response. The results of the survey, which is the largest of its kind and is under peer review in the scientific journal Lancet Planetary Health, are devastating.
The study, which was released today, found that nearly half of global youth surveyed (45 per cent) said that climate anxiety and distress is affecting their daily lives and functioning. It found that 75 per cent of respondents believe the “future is frightening” while almost half (48 per cent) of those who said they talked with others about climate change felt ignored or dismissed.
“Society tells me that this anxiety is an irrational fear that needs to be overcome,” Tan continues, “One that meditation and healthy coping mechanisms will ‘fix.’ At its root, our climate anxiety comes from this deep-set feeling of betrayal because of government inaction. To truly address our growing climate anxiety, we need justice.”
Young people surveyed from the Global South expressed more worry and a greater impact on functioning; while young people surveyed in Portugal (which has seen dramatic increases in wildfires since 2017) showed the highest level of worry among those from the Global North.
The shocking statistics come just weeks before the UK is scheduled to host the COP26 summit in Glasgow in November. The summit, which will see representatives of countries, organisations and peoples from across the world gather in the Scottish city, is seen by many as a pivotal moment in the global fight to thwart further devastating and irreversible climate change.
Some of those surveyed would have been just ten years old when COP21 was held in Paris in the winter of 2015, leading to the Paris Agreement, an international treaty adopted by 196 parties with the intention of keeping global warming well below two degrees. Just two years after the treaty, also sometimes known as the Paris Accords, came into effect, the UN’s International Panel on Climate Change (the IPCC) released a report that warned that humanity had just 12 years to avert irreversible climate change.
Beth Irving, the 19-year-old climate activist behind the Cardiff student climate strikes, was just 16 at the time the IPCC released their report. “I went through phases of feeling utterly helpless in face of this immense problem, and then would launch myself into organising protests or changing things within my school. To put so much energy into something and then see so little real life impact was exhausting; I had many occasions where I would hide myself away and think ‘None of this is enough’. It’s so damaging to put this problem on the shoulders of young people – hope needs to come instead from palpable structural action.”
Of those who responded to the survey released today, 65 per cent felt governments were failing young people. 61 per cent of those asked said the way governments deal with climate change was not “protecting me, the planet and/or future generations”.
“This study paints a horrific picture of widespread climate anxiety in our children and young people,” says Caroline Hickman, from the University of Bath, Climate Psychology Alliance and co-lead author on the study. “It suggests for the first time that high levels of psychological distress in youth is linked to government inaction. Our children’s anxiety is a completely rational reaction given the inadequate responses to climate change they are seeing from governments. What more do governments need to hear to take action?”
Last month the IPCC released its latest report, which made for grim reading. In a statement, UN Secretary-General António Guterres said: “Today’s IPCC Working Group 1 report is a code red for humanity. The alarm bells are deafening, and the evidence is irrefutable: greenhouse‑gas emissions from fossil-fuel burning and deforestation are choking our planet and putting billions of people at immediate risk.” Days later, on 12 August 2021, students came together outside the Department of Education to demand urgent action over a curriculum which they state is failing to address climate change.
In the run up to the latest wave of Extinction Rebellion action in London, which saw thousands of activists take to the streets demanding urgent action on climate change, Scientist Rebellion leaked the text of the upcoming IPCC report, due to be published next year. The text, which was still in draft form, warned that “[climate] mitigation and development goals cannot be met through incremental change”.
It identifies some reasons for this: “The pace of transition can be impeded by ‘lock-in’ from existing capital, institutions, and social norms”. Fossil fuel companies receive trillions of dollars in subsidies each year, an estimated 6.5 per cent of global GDP [IMF]. Redirecting this capital would dramatically improve life for the majority, but as the report notes, “the constraint is also political, in terms of the power of incumbent fossil fuel interests to block initiatives towards decarbonisation”.
The study, released today, which surveyed young people in Australia, United States, United Kingdom, India, Nigeria, Philippines, Finland, Portugal, Brazil and France, concludes that governments must respond to “protect the mental health of children and young people by engaging in ethical, collective, policy-based action against climate change”. The research comes after UNICEF released a report into the physical threat climate change poses to children, with one billion children at “extremely high risk” of the impacts of the climate crisis.
Dr Liz Marks, from the University of Bath and co-lead author on the study said: “It’s shocking to hear how so many young people from around the world feel betrayed by those who are supposed to protect them. Now is the time to face the truth, listen to young people, and take urgent action against climate change.”

Welcome to the homepage for the Center for Research of Attention and Behavior. Our research clinic is located on the campus of Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, OK. The Center for Research of Attention and Behavior is associated with the Ph.D. graduate program in clinical psychology at OSU.
Our research examines potential core deficits or neurocognitive deficits associated with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) by re-examining existing models (e.g., behavioral inhibition), and contributing to the development and refinement of alternative models (e.g., working memory). Findings from this line of research challenge prevailing views concerning the central role of behavioral inhibition deficits in ADHD, provide support for working memory as the primary deficit of the disorder, and form a framework for the eventual development of novel treatment modalities.
Students interested in applying to the OSU doctoral program in clinical psychology, and/or undergraduates interested in volunteering as a research assistant at the Center for Research of Attention and Behavior, are encouraged to visit the Research and For Students pages for relevant information.
Parents of children interested in participating in our research are encouraged to visit the For Parents page for additional information.

Charles Mingus: “Mingus at Carnegie Hall”
There’s always been a current of beautiful disorganization running through Mingus’ work, and the structure of this record really helps bring that out. Consisting of one track per side, the “extended jam” format works especially well for “C Jam Blues,” where everything builds up over eighteen minutes or so to a sort of joyful chaos before collapsing into the frenetic honking of George Adams’ and Rahsaan Roland Kirk’s saxophones for several minutes at the end. More like this, please.
Some real folk blues here. Languid and ethereal, James’ high-pitched voice brings a powerfully mournful feel to the sparse arrangements (James accompanies himself on either guitar or piano; only one track features a sideman, Russ Savakus on bass). It’s the perfect record for a Sunday morning spent reflecting on – and probably regretting – those things you did the night before.
If this record feels like a live performance, that’s because it was more or less recorded like one. Many of the songs start out fragile but then build slowly, sometimes coming to a head with a crashing crescendo – but sometimes they don’t, and the tension just percolates a few minutes longer. The male-female vocal harmonies and the violin’s legato phrasing infuses the whole record with an inescapable feeling of loss. Deserves to be better known.
Released in 1984, this album would have been a lot better if it had been recorded four or five years earlier. Dreadful ’80s production techniques wash out most of the impact of a pretty solid, if not spectacular, collection of songs. It’s not just the synthesizers, though: it’s the backup singers, constantly inserting themselves where they don’t belong, who are the problem more than anything else. A more austere guitar / bass / drums / vocals approach would have done much to bring out the life of songs like “I Love You, Suzanne,” “My Friend George”—which still manages to bop along contentedly and stick in your head for a little while after the record’s over—or “Down at the Arcade,” a fun little closer. File this under “missed opportunities.”
Clocking in at slightly over half an hour, this album is about the same length as the theoretical optimum for any visit to Detroit. But unlike its sprawling namesake, this record is tight, focused and organized, a high-energy blend of jazz and funk that, at times, feels like it could drift into prog-rock territory with no more provocation than a stiff breeze. The city of Detroit has seen (heard?) its share of musical tributes; “Yusef Lateef’s Detroit” has to rank among the best of them.

I’ve been really busy and stressed at work with a couple of campaign deadlines on my plate and am always left with very little time to enjoy reading a book. Anyway, because of my hectic schedule it took me about two weeks to finish this book despite it having only about 170 odd pages or so. I was looking forward to reading The Hound of the Baskervilles. I mean, who doesn’t know the iconic character of Sherlock Holmes with his trench coat and cap and always smoking a pipe?
The Hound of the Baskerville is a great detective story. It starts with a visit from Dr. Mortimer, a friend of Sir Charles, who presented Holmes and Watson with a mystery of his dear friends’ death and the legend that surrounds the Baskerville family.
With the arrival of the heir of the estate, Sir Henry Baskerville, Dr. Mortimer fears for his safety and proceed to consult Holmes on whether it would be safe for Sir Henry to travel to the Baskerville estate which he inherited with the death of Sir Charles. Holmes of course advises his guests that it would be safe and requested Watson to follow the group to the estate located in Devonshire and this is when the suspense begins and the mystery unfolds.
The story line had exciting elements; a ghostly hound, an old family legend and mysterious death. I liked this book and thought that the plot was great and the suspense was kept at a consistent pace throughout the book. Good read despite my limited reading time. :P
Next book: The Inkheart Trilogy!

Retail events are attracting shoppers from across generations, but younger shoppers are the biggest fans.
Nearly 50 percent of all U.S. consumers attended an in-store event in 2018, according to research from the National Retail Federation (NRF).
More shoppers from younger generations showed up for product demos, exclusive sales and other events than did members of Gen X and baby boomers, NRF reports.
Of the people who attended the events, 82 percent say they are interested in similar store experiences in the future, the research shows.
Applied to Retail
Your customers are likely looking for memorable experiences at retail stores, in line with national trends.
If you’re having trouble attracting younger generations to your business, then consider whether you’re hosting the types of events that appeal to them. The most popular retail events provide early or exclusive access to products or a sale, according to NRF.
Poll your younger employees about which products they think would attract their friends to a special event, then plan an in-store party the next time you introduce a new product line or hot items from a major brand.

It’s like the entire oil industry of Oman or Angola was turned on and then off again.
Saudi Aramco, the state oil giant, said on Wednesday that the Ministry of Energy had told it to cancel plans to expand its maximum sustainable capacity (MSC) from 12 to 13 million barrels per day by 2027.
Speculations on motivation have abounded. Is this an attempt to drive up longer-dated future oil prices, a recognition that future demand will be weaker, or an acknowledgement of unexpectedly strong expansion from competitors? Is it to save cash? Is there a political angle?
The higher target had originally been announced in March 2020, as the Covid-19 pandemic hit, with Saudi Arabia locked in a battle for market share. So perhaps it’s not surprising that four years later and with much water under the bridge, it’s time for a rethink.
There are good reasons for Aramco to dial back its MSC expansion. There are also major implications, both with the decision itself and with its communication.
What are the good reasons? First, there is no obvious immediate need for more oil. With Saudi Arabia’s voluntary cuts, national crude output in December was about 9 million bpd, while Aramco’s capacity is 12 million bpd, plus about another 0.2 million bpd from the country’s half-share of the Neutral Zone with Kuwait.
Opec has a bullish outlook on global demand. It sees demand rising 2.3 million bpd this year and 1.8 million barrels next year, both well above long-term historic average growth rates, then slowing but still adding a total of 10 million bpd by 2030.
Most other forecasters are more conservative, because of improving efficiency, climate policy and the effect of electric vehicles. But even on the aggressive outlook, Saudi Arabia could maintain its market share by producing less than 11 million bpd in 2030, leaving more than 1 million bpd spare.
This demand outlook also conceals more than it reveals. Growth is expected to be driven by petrochemicals, which will be met more by natural gas liquids, a by-product of growing natural gas production, rather than crude oil.
Saudi Arabia, through the development of the Jafurah unconventional gas resource, will add 0.63 million bpd of NGLs and condensate by 2030, not included in its crude oil target.
Biofuels, made from crops, and food and agricultural waste, are also growing fast, driven by government mandates and airlines’ need to cut greenhouse gas emissions.
Global use of crude oil, strictly defined, is probably already past its peak.
On the production side, there is additional spare capacity within Opec+, particularly in the UAE. Iran’s greater ability to sell despite sanctions has allowed its output to rise strongly over the past year, as it is not bound by quotas. In a recent interview, the Kuwait Petroleum Corporation chief, Sheikh Nawaf Al Sabah, outlined his plans to expand capacity after years of decline. Kazakhstan, with a new strategy announced in December and, despite obvious political challenges, Iraq and Libya, also intend to boost output.
The competitors to the Opec+ group have grown unexpectedly even more strongly over the last year, with particularly the US, Brazil and new entrant Guyana contributing.
Meanwhile, Qatar announced an expansion of its biggest field, Guyana’s neighbour Suriname should start offshore output in 2028 and, by 2029-2030, large discoveries in Namibia may come into play.
Second, pushing back Aramco’s higher capacity will save or at least delay some capital expenditure. That frees up cash for dividends or other business activities, with the corporation having announced a string of large downstream investments as well as venture capital allocation in the past few months.
The Saudi government, investing heavily in domestic growth as well as foreign projects, will welcome some additional cash inflows. A further possible sale of some government shares in Aramco would be supported by a solid dividend outlook.
Third, the announcement isn’t all that it seems. It was underpinned by the expansion of the Dammam field – the kingdom’s first, discovered in 1938 – but more by the large Berri, Marjan and Zuluf fields, totalling 1.2 million bpd. For now, it seems that those projects are continuing.
So, instead of keeping up capacity at other fields through additional drilling and secondary or enhanced recovery methods, Aramco will allow them to decline. Without heavy ongoing investment, its current capacity of 12 million bpd would fall to about 10.5 million bpd by 2027, emphasising the importance of the expansion projects in bridging most of that gap.
But if circumstances change and new production is needed imminently, Aramco will have most of the production facilities and infrastructure in place at its older fields as well as at the expanded ones. Given a few months or a year’s notification, it could step up drilling and expand towards 13 million bpd.
The original intention was to maintain the 13 million bpd over the longer term by working on Safaniyah, the world’s biggest producing offshore field, and the large Manifa heavy oilfield. Those are the projects that now seem to be shelved. If circumstances change again, they would take longer to revive and complete – likely three to four years.
Those are the solid reasons for the decision. But, it brings potential challenges. It may have been unavoidable to announce the scrapping of the target, given that Aramco is a listed company. Nevertheless, it gives very public encouragement to all its competitors to expand their own production into the late 2020s, with less fear of being undercut by Saudi Arabia.
The game isn’t to produce every last barrel but to gain the most value over the long term. Nevertheless, it will be a concern to Riyadh that while demand is still growing strongly, its output is not. That suggests that the implicit price band Opec+ has had in mind is too high.
In the coming few years, Saudi Arabia may need to return to a more aggressive policy on price, and a revival at least of the possibility of higher capacity.

Reaction To Obama’s Biden Vice President Pick: Solid, Masterful Or Uninspired Mistake?
Reaction to Democratic Party likely Presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama’s decision to pick Sen. Joe Biden as his Vice Presidential running mate continues to pour in. As expected, reaction is predictable along party lines but although partisans on both sides have surprisingly good and bad things to say about the choice.
[Reaction even here on The Moderate Voice is varied. Be sure to go through all of our posts for today and you’ll see a wide variety of well-argued views.]
Meanwhile, today’s news cycle was once again peppered with news about anger from the Hillary Clinton side, even as talking-heads on cable news stories were talking about prospects of party unity and putting Clinton’s own gracious words on the screen:
Even as Hillary Clinton praised the newly-minted Democratic presidential ticket Saturday, some in her circle are furious Barack Obama did not appear to give the New York Democrat serious consideration for the No. 2 spot, or even ask for her consultation on the matter.
“Set aside that Obama said she’d be on anybody’s short list, set aside anybody’s feelings on whether she was deliberately snubbed and the pros and cons of whether it should be her,” a former Clinton strategist told CNN’s Candy Crowley. “Focus on the politics of it and you have about a quarter of Clinton loyalists still not joining the caravan…for God’s sake, not to even make a show of taking her seriously is flatly stupid.”
A top Clinton advisor also told CNN they were “outraged,” over how the process was conducted.
“You can’t put [Obama VP vetters] Eric Holder and Caroline Kennedy on an hour plane ride to Chappaqua just to check the box? They should have done it just for the optics,” this person said. “Barack never even said to her, ‘Here’s how I envision the job’– not one discussion with her about [the position].”
So Obama and Biden are going to have to continue to deal with an apparent lingering party fissure caused not by policy differences or priorities on issues, but by anger about not giving Clinton what some supporters feel was an entitled hard look — because it wasn’t even done for “optics,” which would probably have led to outraged charges that Obama hadn’t been seriously looking at her after going through the motions.
Here’s a round up of some of the reaction from different perspectives in the “old media” mainstream media and in the “new media” Internet media:
Wisconsin Democrats say they’re pleased with Barack Obama’s choice of Sen. Joe Biden as his vice presidential candidate. Gov. Jim Doyle tells the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that Biden gives Obama a running mate who’s very experienced in foreign affairs. Wisconsin Sen. Herb Kohl says his colleague from Delaware shows strong leadership on both domestic and foreign issues. Several Wisconsin delegates to the Democratic National Convention in Denver agree.
—The Tribune says Biden’s selection is good government and bad politics:
We’re perplexed, though, by how little Biden brings to Obama politically beyond his 36 years of Washington cred. And we’re struck by how much more inviting a target Biden is than, say, Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh—ex-governor, more centrist, sits on Intelligence and Armed Services Committees—or other potential running mates Obama rejected.
It’s difficult to see how Biden attracts many voters who aren’t already for Obama. The rankings that assign Obama the Senate’s most liberal voting record list Biden in third place. He represents Delaware, a vividly blue state Obama couldn’t lose if he tried.
Those Roman Catholics who care deeply about having a Catholic on a presidential ticket tend to want that person to be pro-life; Biden is Catholic and pro-choice. Still-bitter backers of Sen. Hillary Clinton—one-fifth of whom have told pollsters they now support Republican John McCain—still see no woman on the Democratic ticket.
Biden also carries personal baggage…Barack Obama has chosen a vice presidential candidate who possesses the key qualification. Whether Joe Biden displays the national appeal that has eluded him is something we’ll all learn over the next 72 days.
–Some Republicans eschewed the talking partisan points:
As Politico colleague Jonathan Martin notes, Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel of Nebraska went way off message, calling the Delaware senator’s “good news for Obama and America.”
Sen. Dick Lugar of Indiana, the top Republican on Biden’s Senate Foreign Relations Committee, also issued a statement congratulating the chairman, as did Republican Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania.
“No one on the Democratic side knows more about foreign policy than Sen. Biden,” Specter crowed. “He’s been an articulate spokesman on the subject. He also knows about domestic policy. He’s been a leader on crime control.”
So what can we say about the Biden choice? Judging from what we have heard from our Patchwork Nation communities, the move seems to meet the loose standards people identified as key for Obama’s veep – a steady hand who knows foreign policy and who is a white man.
For all the Saturday analysis of how Biden isn’t about “change,” most of the undecided and skeptical voters have told us over the past few weeks that “experience” was the bigger issue for Obama. Several people in different communities mentioned Biden as a choice they favored.
What’s less clear is how much Biden may help with “working-class white voters.” Few of our Patchwork correspondents mentioned that aspect of Biden when they spoke of him – at least before the announcement.
—Joe Klein remembers a conversation with Biden months ago:
Biden told me that he was amazed and disappointed by the changes in McCain during the course of the campaign. “I just don’t recognize the guy anymore,” he said. “It’s a shame.” No doubt, Biden will have more to say on that subject now–which is one of the great advantages of picking him for vice president: according to the polls, foreign policy is McCain’s greatest strength. In reality, McCain has been captured by neoconservative extremists and is proposing an extremely dangerous course of action internationally. Biden has the stature and knowledge–and the blue-collar, no bull pugnacity–to call McCain on his imprudent militarism.
Another advantage: If McCain does go with Romney, Biden would have a significant knowledge advantage in the vice presidential debate. (And if McCain goes with Joe Lieberman, I’d be willing to pay good money to watch that one.)
I’ve liked Sen. Biden for quite a while and think that he’s probably the best choice available to Sen. Obama under the circumstances. I do think that it will be interesting how the campaign manages the apparent contradiction of running a campaign based on judgment rather than resume with selecting a running mate who voted for the Authorization to Use Military Force Against Iraq and, as best as I can tell, was an early supporter of “the surge”. Since Sen. Biden is only a few years younger than Sen. McCain his selection will also tend to blunt the criticism of McCain that he’s just too old to be president.
—The All Spin Zone’s Richard Blair is “underwhelmed.” Read the whole post but here’s a small part:
Joe Biden is a decent debater, articulate, and (when necessary) passionate. But I don’t know that any VP in history, other than perhaps Dick Cheney, pushed back terribly hard against the president they served. And it’s pretty clear that Biden, for all of his occasional pit bull sounding rhetoric against the Bush administration, isn’t a real boat-rocker, and knows the side on which his corporate bread is buttered.
The bottom line: Could Obama have picked a better candidate? Yes, but probably no one with the national profile of Joe Biden. The name recognition already exists, and over the years, Biden has successfully cast himself as one of the elder statesman of foreign affairs in the Democratic Party. And gawd knows that the U.S. of A. is going to need a lot of statesmanship on the global stage to repair the damage wrought by the Bush regime.
I’m very unsettled by Obama’s choice of a running mate, but then again, I’m not sure that any of the short listed, vetted, and publicly considered VP contenders would have actually moved me to feel any more enthusiastic about Obama or his chances in November. But that might just be me. Your personal mileage (and tolerance for past political sins) may vary.
Anyway, I must offer thanks to the Obama campaign – the Biden selection promises to provide grand entertainment. On the right, we’ll get to dust off Joe Biden’s greatest hits, a pleasurable task that will take weeks. Also on the right, we’ll get to watch progressives feign joy over Obama’s elevation of an Iraq war supporter who enjoys a cozy relationship with the credit card companies (not that there’s anything wrong with either one of those things).
Like many people who read Richard Ben Cramer’s seminal “What It Takes,” I’ve long harbored a secret soft spot for Joe Biden. But that soft spot is always threatened by prolonged exposure to the man. Usually a 20 minute segment on Meet the Press provides a mortal threat to my lingering fondness for Biden. Like the head of the Democratic ticket, Joe Biden tends not to wear well, especially in concentrated doses over short periods of time. Speaking purely analytically, Obama has made a poor decision.
But that’s just on a political basis. For pure entertainment value, the Biden selection will be a homerun.
So now Biden is Obama’s pick, and he’s clearly not a reinforcing one. If Obama’s core message is “change” and “judgment” based on his prescience on the Iraq War vote, well then, Biden is the exact opposite of those things.
….Lucky for us, unless McCain picks Joe Lieberman, he’s not likely to get a reinforcing pick either. It appears both candidates are headed toward the “plugging a gap” mode of choosing a vice president, as opposed to picking someone who reinforces their core messages.
Biden isn’t without his advantages. He’s purported to be the least wealthy member of the Senate, which should come in handy when contrasted against Mittens or whatever rich white guy McCain picks as his running mate, especially as the election turns on economic issues and who is most “elitist”. And Biden can be a partisan pit bull when so warranted. Given Obama’s reluctance to play the partisan card, it should be fun having a real pit bull in the number two position to do some of the necessary dirty work.
The criticism will focus on Biden’s 1987 plagiarism bout, his support of credit card companies (he pushed the bankruptcy bill that Dems hate), his comments about Obama, his racial obliviousness (the comment about Indian-Americans in 7/11). He’s a DC Insider. Obama didn’t double down on hope. In a normal year, this stuff would have disqualified him instantly. The biggest trope may be that the Dems are an All Talk ticket. Two famous talkers.
That Obama (apparently) picked him demonstrates a recognition that the Democratic ticket ought to be more than just about Obama’s personality… or a statement of bipartisan pragmatism… it’s easy to float on gossamers when the world is safe, but when it’s burning down, a guy like Biden is just the ticket. I take it that Obama likes the fact that Biden gets things done. Sure, he talks a lot. But he gets things done.
Ron Fournier says the pick demonstrates a lack of confidence. Maybe. Or maybe the pick demonstrates Obama’s confidence and a tempering of his overconfidence. Confidence, because Biden could upstage him, will be independent, and will be better at certain things than Obama. But if Obama were overconfident, if he believed that his personality and story alone were enough, then he’d have chosen someone less threatening.
–At The Reaction (owned by TMV Asst. Editor Michael Stickings) bloggers there have a variety of opinions:
J. Kingston Pierce: You go, Biden! (pro-Biden)
Libby Spencer: Biden Time (lukewarm)
Creature: Biden (mildly positive)
Carl: The dude-a-Biden (mildly positive from a Hillary supporter)
Carol Gee: There is something about the Senate (positive)
–Wake Up America has an excellent roundup.
And yes, Obama has found the man with a single house, where he returns home from Washington each evening and where he had to take out a second mortgage to pay for his kids college. Obama chose a man of experience who truly understands the issues facing the American family. Biden spoke of the conversation that takes place in America after the kids are put to bed where the husband and wife gather around the ‘kitchen table’ to decide what to do next to pay their bills.
Biden also said, in a great line, that John McCain, worth over a $100 million, had no such problems. McCain faced the more difficult problem of figuring out which of his 7 kitchen tables to use. It was a funny and highly effective moment. Another example of highly effective and new framing of ‘Bush-McCain’
Sure, some Obama hard-core types may be upset that Barack went for a white, hawkish, 60-something, corporatist, Meet the Press, deep blue DC establishment insider; he’s not the “reinforcing” choice to many theorists pulled for, or the “three-point shot” others rooted for in the way of map-changing go-for-broke style. He’s a free throw, the best VP choice for the Clinton half of the party not actually named Clinton.
Old Joe Biden is acceptable to the widest possible swath of the Democratic base, possesses a personal story that is compelling, is an energetic political terrier, and can leverage his gritty pre-MBNA Scranton roots to good effect in the geographic areas where Obama is weaker than we’d like. He’ll hammer McCain without conscience or compunction – even though he urged Kerry to choose Johnny Mac as his veep, and is buddies with the GOP nominee. This is one professional politician we’ve added to the ticket – old school, non-change, insider, totally connected. Does he take the age, war, and DC insider cards off the table? Only a little bit – the race is still about the top of the ticket. After all the tarted-up “suspense,” Old Joe Biden may be something of a let-down for some.
So that little drama is over, just in time for the one that really counts. Forget the Biden choice, the Clinton speeches, Al Gore’s appearance, the roll call, and all the assorted rallies, parties, and bloggerfests. The one thing that counts most next week – the real game-changer amidst dipping poll numbers – is Barack Obama’s acceptance speech.
I like Joe Biden. He was a harsh critic of Obama, and I agree with him on that. He’s a liberal, but he’s also a working class Irish-Catholic sort who can have a beer with you. He is, at least, not an effete limousine liberal. And I can’t fault him for accepting Obama’s offer. He seems so happy and delighted to be picked, and part of me feels good for him to (sort of) reach his goal. After all, twenty years ago he was the young up-and-comer running for president. He has endured a lot of personal tragedy, so part of me is happy to see him get this shot …
And on a more cynical note, the blogger in me is happy to see someone Biden get the nod, because he is sure to say some controversial things in the weeks to come. Let’s be honest, the guy is a gaffe machine. He has already driven two presidential campaigns into the ground with his mouth. Will this be the third?
So I have no personal problem with Biden. (Heck, in 2000, Lieberman was Gore’s VP, so who knows what the future will hold for Biden?) But I do think Obama’s selection of Biden is more proof that the whole notion that Obama will be a “new brand of politician” is completely phony.
I was talking to an Asian friend today who pays almost no attention to politics. He wasn’t even aware of Obama’s brilliant [sarcastically used] pick, but when I told him who it was, the first thing he said was, “Oh, yeah. Isn’t he the plagiarist or something?”
And with all due respect to Glenn Reynold’s giving Biden a pass on the plagiarism issue, I think this demonstrates that it’s going to continue to be a problem for him.
Among many, many others.
I do think this pick demonstrates Obama’s utter lack of any fear of a Clinton convention comeback.
That’s the problem with socialist idiots, they’re not only ignorant in economics, they can’t even be counted on to do the smart thing in a presidential campaign.
Instead of picking Hillary Clinton and insuring an easy victory he goes and picks someone who puts his foot in his mouth even more often than Obama does himself. Another tax and spend liberal, whoopee.
Is there any hope for me to have Obama win this November so that I can make a small fortune going short on the stock market and long on gold? That’s why Europeans love Obama – he’s there only briefly and leaves before they can see him for the dumb ass he really is. Half of our Republic is filled with morons who do not understand what makes this country great and I pray (I know I’m an Atheist – but I’m allowed) that the election comes before they realize that Obama knows even less than they do about the economy.
Anyone who cares about progressive politics, or the salt of the earth, knows that the bankruptcy bill is a disaster for average folks. Joe Biden is a big reason why this is so. He supported it and voted for it, many times over many years.
That speaks volumes about how he views the rest of the country.
–Lean Left points to a post on another blog and concludes:
In short, Biden comes out as the strongest possible choice because he is almost as solid as Hillary within the party, has much lower intra-party negatives, and, most important, is vastly more popular among swing voters. And, although they have different styles, he’s on a part with Hillary in political infighting and debate. Of course the statistical analysis treats pre-announcement popularity polls as if they’re static. The announcement alone will force some people to shift their opinions, and there’s a lot of political dynamics between now and the election. But, given what they know now, there’s a strong case to be made for Biden, and – crucially – not as strong a case to be made against him, compared to Hillary – in terms of voter appeal plain and simple. Which makes Obama’s choice easy to justify on those obviously important grounds.
