When turning on the vehicle everything is fine until I step on the gas pedal. It makes a noise like there is something flapping under the hood. It makes the sound when lightly pushing the pedal and when pushing it harder, but while moderately speeding up I don't hear it. The flapping sound starts again when I let off the gas pedal. It also doesn't make the sound at all while in reverse.

Custom Seal Solutions
Because MECO seals are customized for each customer’s unique industry, application, and equipment, our solutions offer unparalleled performance—effectively preventing the escape of dry powders, bulk materials, pastes, slurries, liquids, and vapors. We also produce sanitary seals for food and pharmaceutical applications.
Most MECO seals feature fully split designs that allow for easy installation, maintenance, and rebuilding without the added time and expense of drive removal. Whether split or unsplit, our seals are designed to address each application’s unique configuration, taking into consideration:
In every application, our seals are designed to operate on a plane perpendicular to the shaft without relative motion between the shaft and seal—eliminating the abrasion and high operating temperatures that are associated with common mechanical packing alternatives.
These four categories, in conjunction with spatial and operational parameters, are used to form our seal models AH, EA, EP, HB, MB, SC and OFS. These six basic models branch out into many seal types to meet customer's specific needs.


Understanding the benefits of using network data management protocol
Before the use of the network data management protocol, for managing data between the networks, the storage device drivers where used by the network file servers. These storage drivers were written for the ordinary computers that you use in the network. It was difficult to back up the file servers in the network. They had to mount the file system to the destination server across the network and then do the back up. This resulted in consuming high bandwidth across the network.
With the network data management protocol in place, it was easy to backup. You should know, for backup, you need some software that helps to backup, and software that controls the source system and the destination system. The network data management protocol has interfaces that help you to control all of these components.
With such control over the components, a manufacturer can focus on the component that is related to its products. The network data management protocol works in the client / server paradigm. The data sources used are considered as the servers or the data service providers. The clients which are also called the data management applications back up the data to the destination point. Each client would work in a single network data management protocol session.
In the network data management protocol, it was allowed to have only one transaction, i.e., one stream for backup. That was how the original protocol was designed. Now with the latest versions of the protocol there is an intermediate component called the translate service which sits between the source and the destination so that multiple streams of data can be transmitted. This allows for greater efficiency in backup. It can consume data from multiple sources in an instant.
A TCP/IP connection is always there between the source and the destination in an network data management protocol session. With this it is clear that the communication is done via the TCP/ IP port. The services between the source and the destination undergoes different states like ‘idle’, ‘listen’, ‘active’ and ‘halted’.

We’re not just building a new hospital for North Manchester. Our transformed health campus will be at the heart of the local community.
Together, we’re creating a healthier, more prosperous place where people can access good jobs, training and education opportunities.
We are committed to delivering social value and making a difference to people’s lives across North Manchester.
You can find out more about our social value programmes around education, combating digital exclusion, employment and training plus fundraising and volunteering in our NMGH Social Value Round-Up 2021
Making a great start in schools
We wanted children and young people to get involved with the hospital redevelopment from the very beginning. That’s why we held a special art competition, asking local primary school pupils to show us what’s important to them.
We received over 600 fantastic drawings and paintings, on four themes:
- Love your NHS
- NHS rainbows
- What makes you happy
- Your favourite things about North Manchester
Providing exciting apprenticeship opportunities
Five hard-working apprentices are gaining both practical skills and academic qualifications through their employers’ involvement in the redevelopment of North Manchester General Hospital. Creating employment, training and education opportunities for local people is a fundamental principle of the redevelopment programme and apprenticeships are a key part of achieving this aim.
Our project team is delighted to showcase the contribution of apprentices Rob Childs, Jack Dash, Tom Marner, Beth McCrystal and James Robinson.
- Rob is an apprentice project manager with RLB and is studying Construction Management through a degree apprenticeship. His training includes developing feasibility studies, estates strategies and business cases.
- Part of the Arup team, Jack’s apprenticeship is in Building Services and Sustainable Engineering. He has been working on the space requirements for plant equipment, water utility services and mechanical, electrical and plumbing services design for buildings at NMGH.
- Also an apprentice at Arup, Tom is studying Building Services Engineering for his apprenticeship. He quickly progressed from assisting other technicians to co-ordinating the replacement ventilation system for the existing acute hospital buildings.
- Beth is doing a degree apprenticeship in Quantity Surveying and is assistant costs consultant with Arcadis on the NMGH project. She has provided costs for the enabling works and security projects at the early design stages, and assisted in tender review processes.
- Assistant electrical engineer James has recently completed his advance level apprenticeship with his employer S I Sealy and is now studying for his HNC in Building Services Engineering. His work involves focusing on electrical systems such as lighting, power, data and fire alarms.
Setting a challenge for design students
During 2021, project partners MFT, Hive, Curtins, Sheppard Robson, AFL, Arup and Arcadis hosted a three-month project with the Manchester School of Architecture. The challenge to the students was to create innovative designs for a hospital of the future.
Fifth year students received a detailed brief covering the health agenda in architecture plus sustainability, along with constraints around ground conditions and costing. To celebrate their hard work and very imaginative ideas, we hosted a virtual showcase event for the students that enabled them to present their efforts to our wider project team.

DOCTORS have called on politicians to set up round-the-clock childcare for all NHS staff in Wales.
The move, if implemented nationwide, could see more professionals attracted back into the health service, helping to end the current recruitment and retention crisis.
NHS staff currently suffer from long waiting lists for hospital-based creches or having to pay exorbitant fees to get childcare to cover anti-social shifts.
Doctors at the British Medical Association's annual representatives' meeting in Manchester yesterday called on the UK governments for a commitment to 24-hour childcare.
Dr Jo Hilborne, a specialist registrar in obstetrics and gynaecology in Cardiff and the deputy chair of the junior doctors' committee, said round-the-clock childcare would particularly benefit single parents and junior doctors on six-month placements.
The mother-of-three said, "Junior doctors are often disadvantaged in accessing the few childcare places that are available because there is usually a waiting list.
If you are in a job for just six months to a year and you only know a month before where you will be working, there's no way you're going to be near the top of that waiting list.
"There have been instances where doctors have finished a six-month job at a hospital and moved on to another, only to then be told they were at the top of the waiting list at the original hospital."
Dr Hilborne has first-hand experience of the inefficiencies of the current NHS childcare system.
While working at Singleton Hospital in Swansea, and living in a hospital house, she applied to put her daughter in the hospital- run breakfast and after-school clubs.
But, because she did not go to a certain primary school, her daughter was not allowed a place.
Dr Hilborne added, "There has been a big push in England to promote childcare, but we haven't seen the same in Wales.
"I would love to see a commitment to review the childcare provision in the NHS and improve it made a priority for the Welsh Assembly Government."

This laboratory has previously described the development of a PCR method for the detection of small round structured viruses (SRSVs) in shellfish and the use of male-specific RNA bacteriophages as “viral” indicators to predict the occurrence and behaviour of such viruses in shellfish. We now describe the application of these procedures to monitor oyster harvesting areas, shellfish treatment processes and products sold to the consumer. Oysters are traditionally consumed raw and can be treated to enable them to meet the legislative end-product standard of <230 E coli/100g. Treatment options include purification (depuration) in tanks of clean seawater or relaying in clean seawater for a suitable period. These procedures are effective for enabling shellfish compliance with the existing bacterial end product standard but do not guarantee viral protection for the consumer. This study initially investigates the efficiency of these treatment processes for reducing viral contamination in sewage-contaminated oysters. Initial levels of viral pollution in oysters were found to be critical to the success of post-harvest treatment processes. Additionally, the success of depuration and relaying for virus removal was found to be dependent on the duration of the process and on factors affecting shellfish metabolic activity such as the water temperature. We demonstrate that by using male-specific RNA bacteriophage as an indicator of viral pollution combined with SRSV monitoring it is possible to derive management strategies for more effective control of the virological quality of oysters. Male-specific RNA bacteriophage monitoring of final products prior to sale to the consumer provided an effective quality control mechanism. We discuss the combined use of these new monitoring tools for more effective management of the virological quality of oysters sold to the consumer.

text: Pot Roast, to me, is what Sunday tastes like. Sometimes the kids complain, but they always want it on Sunday for dinner. I know everyone makes pot roast, however I thought I’d share how we do it. You get one of those bags that you cook meat in. (This is usually done as you’re running out the door on Sunday morning.) We throw the frozen roast (beef or pork,) 2 lbs. mini carrots, a few sliced onions and your preference of small potatoes inside with a package of onion mix sprinkled all over. (Soup or dip, pretty much the same thing!) I buy the generic white package of onion soup mix that is cheap. You find it by the soups, it usually hidden. (Mushrooms or another vegetable would be good, but I have picky complainers at my house!) Take a steak knife and punch 3-4 holes in the plastic bag. It requires about 3 hours cooking at around 375 degrees. It depends on your stove. (I don’t usually wait for a pre-heat, since I’m running out the door. ) When it’s done cooking, tear the bag open, separate onto serving platters and cut the roast into pieces. You can mash the potatoes, if you must have them smooshed up. They can be served as is. If you mash them, you can add 2 cups cheese and garlic for a cheesy potato version, or (what my family loves) gravy to drown it all.The gravy is super easy, just put 4 cups water in a saucepan and 6 teaspoons bullion to match your meat. (You can add the drippings if you want, but you will need a bit more flour water and still use most of the bullion.) Stir the bullion water well, and bring to a boil. Fill ablender bottle with 2 cups water and about 1/2 cup of flour. Shake it once or twice, then open it carefully over the sink to let out the pressure. (I speak from experience. If you don’t do that, you and the whole kitchen will be covered with a paste!) Then shake the bottle until well mixed. Add the flour mixture to the bouillon water slowly while whisking vigorously. Turn the heat down to low while you whisk until thick. This gravy turns out different every time, so tweak it as you want. (This makes quite a bit, but in our house, you’d be fighting for it!) If you are lucky, the bag will come out clean, and you throw it away. Enjoy! I did this for my married daughters and anyone who needs an idea. They better take care of the leftovers, because that’s all I’m cooking today. Eat, drink your milk, and then have a Sunday nap!

There seems to be a misunderstanding. While Nicki Minaj has not been known to be best friends with Mariah Carey, Nicki is not the main, underlying force behind Carey’s “Satan” comment on radio station, Hot 97.
Nick Cannon, Carey’s husband, explained the comment to Access Hollywood Live, “I don’t think [her reference to ‘Satan’] was about the people on the panel. It’s about when someone tells you something and paints a picture one way, and then that’s not the case. If she’s used to being treated a certain way and then you have a network that says, ‘No, we’re gonna do this,’ then…”
Mariah Carey did not hold back when discussing her experience on the show with the radio station.
“Honestly, I hated it. Honestly, I thought it was going to be a three-person panel. They gave me a nice dangling monetary moment and I was like, ‘OK … Randy Jackson will be there’ — you know he used to play bass for me — ‘This isn’t a big deal, this will be nothing,’ but it wasn’t that. It was like hell going to work every day in hell with Satan. I’m just playing; it didn’t affect me that much. I was disappointed.”
Many suspected that Carey’s comment was never intended as a specific target to Nicki Minaj even though rumors of hostility have followed the two famous singers.
The fact that someone would think that @MariahCarey would write "The Art Of Letting Go" in reference to NICKI MINAJ! lmfao IM DYING!
— I MET MARIAH CAREY (@AlexanderV__) November 12, 2013
Mariah Carey’s recent appearance on Jimmy Fallon and her newest release for The Art of Letting Go are any indication of how the singer feels, then it may be time to leave the feud in the past.

Tubular trellis chassis and central engine or sheet metal body and rear overhang engine? This was the eternal technical bone of contention between car designer Mario Colucci and businessman Carlo Abarth, but it would never compromise the professional relationship between the two, founded on sincere, mutual trust.
Designer Mario Colucci came to Abarth in 1958, from Alfa Romeo. The engineer was temporarily transferred to Turin when the two companies signed an agreement to work on creating a new racing car: the Alfa Romeo Abarth 1000. The design would feature innovative technical solutions for Abarth brought by the technician from the Portello plant, in particular the tubular trellis chassis. Unfortunately, the coupé presented on the Bertone stand at the Turin Motor Show remained a prototype but, at the time, Carlo Abarth sensed how useful Colucci’s engineering approach could be for his company. He therefore convinced him to leave Alfa Romeo by promising him an important new role in Abarth, as its technical director.
Abarth and Colucci’s relationship was built on strong mutual respect, despite their differing approaches to the technical aspects of design. Abarth, who was attached to the Porsche set-up, favoured vehicles with a square steel body and rear overhang engine. Instead, Colucci preferred vehicles with a tubular trellis chassis, and the engine in the centre of the car. The reasons behind Abarth’s different vision were also economic: he believed that his solution was cheaper and therefore more profitable for his company.
As a result, two different concepts of the racing car originated in Abarth: one was the vehicle with tubular trellis chassis and engine in the centre, and the other, made of stamped sheet metal, featured a rear overhang engine. The alternating development of both solutions became the leitmotiv of Abarth’s designs throughout the sixties. And even the test drivers, whose opinions were equally as divided, depending on their own personal views, rooted for one of the two solutions, making it impossible to determine which architecture was superior.
The first task Abarth assigned to Colucci, in 1960, was that of designing a Sport Prototype - a lightweight and powerful closed-wheel racing car with a two-seater spider body - in which the engineer could let his creativity run wild. The result was the first Fiat Abarth Sport Spider, with steel tubular trellis chassis and central engine. Engines with different displacements coupled with various gears were tried out in the same chassis, including some made by Fiat and others by French manufacturer Simca, with which Carlo Abarth had ongoing technical and commercial relations.
After a series of ups and downs, the turning point arrived in 1966 with design SE04, for the Fiat Abarth 1000 SP, where 1000 indicated the displacement in cubic centimetres and SP stood for Sport Prototype. Carlo Abarth acknowledged Colucci’s bravura in designing the vehicle using simple and cheap solutions that would make it a manageable option for gentleman drivers, to whom the 1000 SP was mainly targeted.
The new 1000 SP took to the race track with the official Abarth Racing team and the many excellent results it achieved in prestigious races proved to be the best possible advertising means for promoting the vehicle to gentleman drivers
The Sport Prototype was driven by the umpteenth evolution of the Abarth twin-cam engine built on the Fiat 600 base. The unit, located behind the driver, achieved a power output of 105 HP at 8,000 rpm. Considering its displacement of under a litre (982 cm3) the engine would have had a specific power in excess of 100 HP/litre. This value was considerably high for that period in time, also bearing in mind that the 1000 SP was designed to excel both in short uphill races and in long, hard, endurance races.
Its lightweight chassis and body in polyurethane and fibreglass held the 480 kg dry kerb weight of the vehicle, providing a maximum speed of over 220 km/h. Its simple, low, streamlined lines, especially at the front, were possible thanks to the fact that the radiator motor was located on the sides. A solution which, in a very low-lying vehicle, offered better protection for the radiator hoses. This resulted in the typical rounded shape of the rear mudguards, which were preceded by powerful air vents. The vehicle was characterised by a large panoramic glass windscreen, a prerequisite for obtaining homologation as a Sport vehicle in Group 4.
To enable the first specimens of the 1000 SP to race, Abarth had to register the vehicles in the category in which Formula and one-off vehicles competed: the gap between the Abarth proposal and the competition could easily have proved insurmountable, but this was not the case. The first important success was achieved at the gruelling 500 km race on the Nürburgring track, on 4 September 1966: the Abarth 1000 SP, driven by Müller and Steinmetz, won the 1000 category outright and came third overall. The race was won by Ernst Furtmayr - expert uphill racer and winner of the Mountain Championships in Germany and Austria - in an Abarth OT 1300.
The echo of that victory again reverberated just a few days later in Valle d’Aosta: at the Aosta-Pila uphill race, which counted towards the Italian Mountain Championship, Italian driver Leo Cella won the 1000 category, masterfully driving the new Abarth creation to victory. Word of these two surprising successes began to get around and Abarth soon began receiving its first orders for the vehicle. After producing 50 cars, in March 1968, Abarth was able to obtain Group 4 Sport/ Class 1000 homologation.
And the 1000 SP kept on racking up successes, even in the hands of gentleman drivers. Veneto-born driver Lado took home the first victory in the new category, winning the Stallavena-Bosco Chiesanuova uphill race on the roads of his home territory, while other gentleman drivers also contended in the endurance competitions. The Palazzoli/Bottalla and Pasotto/Grano teams won the class at the 1000 Km in Monza on 25 April 1968. Benefiting from numerous developments and transformations, the vehicle continued racing for over a decade, gratifying many gentleman drivers, some of whom would happily wait a long time to receive their vehicles ordered from Abarth.
In this way, Carlo Abarth fulfilled his entrepreneurial goal of selling his customers a trump card, and Colucci experienced the satisfaction of having designed a vehicle according to his own beliefs that also won the favour of his boss. However, their bone of contention regarding the two technical solutions would never be buried. One vehicle that could be considered a Solomonic blend of their two diverging visions was the 1967/68 Abarth 2000 Sport Tipo SE010. Built on a lightweight tubular “Colucci-style” chassis, it was fitted with a rear overhang engine, as favoured by Carlo Abarth. The relationship between the two men would continue to be built on mutual trust and support, and Colucci would continue contributing to the destiny of Abarth with his technical ingenuity for many years to come.

Moscow, Oct 14 (efe-epa).- The Russian Soyuz MS-17 spacecraft docked with the International Space Station on Wednesday with three crew on board.
It reached its destination just over three hours after being launched into space from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
The spacecraft made contact with the Russian segment of the ISS four minutes ahead of schedule at 08:48 GMT while flying over the Mediterranean Sea, according to a live broadcast of the maneuver.
Soyuz MS-17, carrying cosmonauts Sergey Ryzhikov and Sergey Kud-Sverchkov, and NASA astronaut Kathleen Rubins, launched at 05:45 GMT from Baikonur, powered by a Soyuz-2.1a rocket.
The mission, which took place on Rubins’ 42nd birthday, was the first manned flight to reach the ISS in just over three hours after circling the Earth twice.
The trajectory was tested on five Progress space freighters and the crew was trained to manage the ultra-fast route without problems.
Ryzhikov, the flight commander, joked on Tuesday that the crew would reach the ISS faster than the time taken to travel from the Star City training center near Moscow to the Baikonur Cosmodrome.
The crew will stay in space for six months and were welcomed to the ISS by the current tenants, cosmonauts Anatoli Ivanishin and Ivan Vagner and NASA astronaut Chris Cassidy.
This trio will leave the orbital platform on 21 October aboard the Soyuz MS-16, which arrived at the ISS on 9 April.
The new crew will continue working on hundreds of biological, biotechnological, physics and Earth science experiments.
Among the missions they will carry out is sealing micro air leaks detected at the station in August.
Ryzhikov said the cosmonauts are also planning two spacewalks.
The crew will witness the arrival on 1 November of the SpaceX Crew-1 mission which will bring NASA astronauts Mike Hopkins, Victor Glover, Shannon Walker, and their Japanese colleague Soichi Noguchi to the ISS.
The ISS is a $150 billion project involving 15 nations and consists of 15 permanent modules that orbit the Earth at a distance of 400 km at a speed of more than 27,000 km per hour. EFE-EPA

In many cases, it is necessary for an employer to issue the employee in question with a final warning before the former can effectively give notice of dismissal. In the absence of a formal warning, the dismissal may be invalid.
GRP Rainer Lawyers and Tax Advisors in Cologne, Berlin, Bonn, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Munich, Stuttgart and London - www.grprainer.com/en conclude: Employment law provides that employers can announce termination without notice for good cause. One possible example of good cause is a breach of the relationship of trust, with the result that it would no longer be reasonable for the employer to have to continue employing the worker in question. In many instances, it is also necessary to issue a written final warning before giving notice of dismissal, as confirmed by a judgment of the Arbeitsgericht Berlin (Labour Court of Berlin) (Az.: 28 Ca 4045/14).
Employees frequently use their work computers to privately surf the Web. Many employers tolerate this as long as it remains within reasonable limits. Having said that, it is possible for private surfing to assume proportions that are no longer acceptable from the perspective of the employer. However, in response to this, the employer must first issue a formal warning before it can effectively terminate the employment contract. This may even apply in cases where private surfing is explicitly forbidden at the workplace.
In the present case before the AG Berlin, an employee had spent between one to two hours daily privately surfing online during working hours. Upon noticing this, the company dismissed the employee without notice, stating that the relationship of trust had been destroyed. The employee successfully challenged this. The AG Berlin held that even infringements of a written prohibition do not automatically justify the employer terminating the employment relationship with immediate effect without a prior written warning. The AG Berlin took the view that the employer ought to have first issued a formal warning. The Court went on to say that it would only have been potentially appropriate to resort to termination if even after this final warning the employee had failed to change her behaviour and behaved in this manner again.
As this case illustrates, it can prove difficult to terminate an employment contract. Lawyers who are competent in the field of employment law can advise on drafting employment contracts, termination, severance payments as well as other issues relating to employment law.

Pipe parts are used to connect direct pipes or pipe sections in the pipeline system to adapt to different sizes or shapes and for other purposes, such as regulating fluid flow.
When buying pipes, it is necessary to consider certain factors. The most important thing is the size and form to confirm that it is an ideal match for your specific purpose. However, another aspect of consideration is to make tube clamp materials. We will discuss the advantages of stainless steel pipe parts below.
Stainless steel is one of the most popular levels of pipelines. Due to its solidity and strength, it has been used for pipeline and pipeline construction for many years. However, stainless steel 304 and 316 pipes are the most common levels. Stainless steel 304 pipes have more flexibility through heat treatment. The more chromium -nickel -iron alloys added to the steel, the stronger it will become. This is why it is considered one of the strongest steel varieties. Another way to increase solidarity is to create a more durable surface by adding a layer of chromium. Chrome -plated tube parts are not only strong, but also can prevent corrosion, and it can make the cleaning process easier.
Because steel has the ability to withstand thermal treatment; for any use, it is easy to find stainless steel pipe parts with the correct quantity of carbon. When a large amount of steel is required, iron stainless steel is usually used because its cost is low and the use standards are used. Austenite stainless steel is usually used in the automotive industry because it is resistant to corrosion. Due to its strength, mate -generated stainless steel is used to make cables and springs. However, once the carbon content reaches 1.0%, it is only used for specific non -industrial functions.
SS 304 pipes have excellent characteristics, such as durability, reliable, high tensile strength, corrosion resistance, flawless, etc. Stainless steel 304 pipes have high rust resistance capabilities. The carbon content in this pipeline improves cleanliness and welding strength. It also is also used for the structure of acid and fertilizer production and the structure of heat exchangers, valves and messes.
Stainless steel 316 pipes are a low -carbon 316 grade, which are usually used to avoid possible sensitive corrosion in welding parts. It can be used for oil and natural gas industries, including acid and chemical industry, cement industry, and pharmaceutical industry. Stainless steel 316 pipes have the characteristics of corrosion resistance, oxidation, abrasion resistance and corrosion resistance, and can also resist low temperature.
Stainless steel 310S pipes are mainly used for silver pipes and have been successfully used in fresh water with low chloride content. It is widely used in the environment of sulfur dioxide gas. In addition, due to carbonic production, this steel should not be continuously used in the range of 425-860 degrees. SS 310S stainless steel pipe parts are also widely used in moderate carburizing atmosphere, such as petrochemical environment.
The stainless steel 347 pipe is a universal matelin stainless steel, which contains 11.5% chromium and has good corrosion resistance. This type of stainless steel pipe parts is used to involve applications that involve mild corrosion, heat resistance and high -intensity conditions.
It is a low-carbon chromium nickel molybdenum steel alloy with corrosion resistance and good durability. Stainless steel 317L pipes can withstand extreme environments and low temperature and high temperature and pressure. It is usually used to treat sulfur, acidic dye, nitrification mixture, bleaching solution and many compounds.

Now that I’ve rested up, after a break, from the whirlwind weekend of music, its time to assemble my thoughts and photos into some kind of order. Rebellion although deemed as a ‘punk festival’ has really begun to spread its wings, and cater for music in all genres, but with the emphasis still firmly on the alternative radar. In one room you might be watching the highly entertaining cover band ‘Abba Sensation’ (and believe me the Pavilion was packed to the rafters with punters, a welcome diversion too.), or like me be checking out the ska rhythms of the Neville Staple band in the Empress Ballroom, then hot footing it down to catch ex Heartbreakers legend Walter Lure. It’s slowly becoming more diverse and eclectic, and where else could you find punk stalwarts Sham 69, a musical trapeze/circus act called the Good-Fer-Nothing Circus, and the atmospheric sounds of Peter Hook & the Light on the same bill? The answer not many places, apart from Rebellion, plus other forms of music such as punk, pop, rockabilly, ska, psychobilly, added to this mix a diversity of people, ages, nationality and styles. The one aspect I find most appealing is that people are so friendly, there’s no airs and graces, no competition, or hostility towards anyone. Every year is like meeting up with distant relatives, or friends who you only ever talk to on facebook. People come from all walks of life and for 4 days of the year, nothing matters but having a great time, listening to music, chatting to your favourite musician, (who you might find hanging out at his/her merch stall, or watching a band at the side of you) Jerry Only from The Misfits, Captain Sensible, TV Smith, Charlie Harper, Texas Terri and many others were only too happy to oblige in chatting to anyone passing by.
THURSDAY: And so it begins...Thursday afternoon, the first band of the day to warm my camera up was the hearty brigade from Fire Exit performing in the Arena. A jolly bunch of old skool punks who ripped into their set, as if their life depended on it.
Nicely warmed up we trotted off to see a couple of sets from various bands such as Scranton Pennsylvania punk band The Menzingers, Sick On The Bus, German heavy duty punks Slime, and Cornwall band The Surgeons. Next stop was the Pavilion (Bizarre, Bizarre stage) for something different called Good-Fer-Nothing Circus, after a long set up of trapeze gear I’d hoped it was worth the wait. It proved to be a bit hit and miss, with a bizarre food fight, amidst the trapeze acts, but in parts it was interesting.
However I missed the next act, which was a tribute band Abba Sensation due to the previous act over running and I wanting to catch a bit of ska in the form of Neville Staple Band over in the Empress Ballroom. Neville was greeted affectionate by the crowd, with chants of “rude boy, rude boy” as he walked carefully on stage with his fancy walking stick, and after a couple of 'Specials' tracks he informed us all that he’d had a stroke. This didn’t diminish his act in the slightest, and everyone loves to get down to a bit of ska don’t they?
It’s time to dash off after my 3 song allocation to catch Walter Lure in action in the blazing hot confines of the Arena. With fantastic lights and sound, the ex Heartbreaker hits all the right notes, with just the right mixture of rock n’ roll and punk as he hammered out their well known classics, which needless to say delighted everyone.
Another dart across to the Pavilion to catch four piece all girl band The Ramonas, now of course with a name like this it is only expected they are going to cover The Ramones. Initially I was sceptical, but the singer is just like a female Joey, even down to the moves. I really enjoyed the few songs I caught up with, but with no time to spare I have another band to shoot, and time waits for no one.
Back at the Empress its our last band of the night New Model Army, fronted by Justin Sullivan. I don’t claim to be a big fan, but their legion of fans are in place, it's rammed and they go down a storm. By the end of the day I’d witnessed 10 bands and being a total lightweight was ready for bed. Tomorrows another day...
FRIDAY: Here we go again ….after a hearty breakfast down at the Hilton and some downtime we emerge all refreshed and ready to get stuck into some music again. The first band on my hit list was the Argies, appropriately named as they are from Argentina, with an explosion of guitar action from the four piece, how could they not fail to be anything but entertaining. Next stop is the Empress Ballroom to catch hotly tipped Greece punk band Barb Wire Dolls (who have been the most talked about band on the punk scene since Mudkiss first interviewed them two years ago). Remember we saw them first ..and they were incredibly entertaining, it helps that the singer, blonde siren Isis Queen is a beautiful creature, a wild performer who holds nothing back in getting her message about the revolution across to the masses at the front of the house. Even down to groping the young security guard and climbing into the crowd to get her point across. Whatever your take on them, regarding punk cliques, you cannot take away from the fact they are superbly visually entertaining, and as an added bonus really nice people.
Hot footing it back down to the Arena (my favourite room) we snatched a song or two from a four piece called the Drones. I did wonder if this might have been the original Manchester punk band, but they turned out to be a couple of young guys, who played hardcore punk numbers. A bit like a more aggressive Green Day, but not a bad thing! Staying in the Arena we checked out three piece punk band, Eastfield on a recommendation, very much "77 style sounding and thought we’d move on down the track to see Chelsea at the Empress Ballroom. Vocalist Gene October, one of the original "76 London punks, as always gives an aggressive stance, and from what I heard had a whinge or two in the bargain. Didn’t stay long as Charred Hearts were sizzling down in the Arena, a few quick photos, and then racing down to the Olympia for the unmissable Pink Hearse. Blackpool’s very own colourful all female band, always entertaining. Frontwoman Nicki is a remarkable in yer face character, and how they have developed since I last interviewed them at Manchester's Strummercamp in 2009.
Heading out to the Empress Ballrooms again….. (I should warn you that it helps if your fitness regime is up to scratch at this festival, as there is plenty of walking to be done here.) Ska band The Skints are bringing a much needed bit of melody to the day with their ska and reggae inspired performance. Bring the dancing on! Then it’s back to the sounds of the 80’s in the Pavilion with Hazel O’Connor. I loved the movie ‘Breaking Glass’ so was interesting to hear a couple of songs from this period, her voice is still strong and passionate. Hazel was very popular, therefore the room soon became rammed to the max, and feeling quite hot and claustrophobic this was my cue to head out.
Berlin based band the Church Of Confidence are playing down in the Arena. Looking very sharp, they toy with a mix of punk, and rock n' roll, with the obligatory cool attitude. With no time to spare, and feet a flying its onto a bit of Maximum Rock N Roll a bunch of crazy Canadians, with frontman Diamond Brent Pantheras who is always on a high. One of STP Records finest and always guaranteed to put on a worthy show with their brand of punk, metal, hardcore rock n’roll shenanigans. It’s such a shame the Olympia sound isn’t as good as the other venues in the complex.
The artist Vince Ray & his Boneshakers were a great respite from full on punk bands, with their brand of rockabilly tunes, as were Brighton's Long Tall Texans. The psychobilly tunes really impressed me (and I especially loved the way six pack Mark Carew threw his double bass around). I'd love to see them again, a really fresh band, who have for some reason evaded me until recently.
Meanwhile an unusual sound is emitting from the Bizarre Bizarre stage, as I pass, its The Beatlesons, a German folk-punk band from Düsseldorf, with a weird assortment of characters, playing a variety of instruments, fronted by a female singer with a moustache, reminded me a little of Gogol Bordello. We didn’t stay long as we had a date with a couple of Guitar Gangsters in the Olympia. The Three piece GG’s are well established on the punk scene, having cut their teeth 20 + years ago, a punk, rock n’roll type band with bags of energy and plenty of guitar licks you can sing along to.
Ok, its 9pm and I’m starting to flag a bit, back to the Pavilion for something a bit quieter. The Bellefleurs, are Miss Rich, Miss Farmer and Miss Harbour, collectively a trio of ‘dressed to kill’ glamorous vocalists, from Bath. They are a change to the louder punk bands currently blasting out, its time to chill out, and check out their cabaret tongue in cheek style set. Playing cover songs in their own vintage style, with perfect pitch voices, they proved to be one of the most colourful of the day.
Decided to stay in the Pavilion to check out the next act Ed Banger & The Nosebleeds, well I couldn’t miss them, they were one of the first punk bands I ever saw back in "77 at Wigan Casino, obviously older and wiser, but still have the ability to knock out the good stuff.
Time for a bit of light refreshments before we head out to the enormous Olympia stage, for The Damned, rarely disappointing they pound the stage in their own inimitable fashion. The sound in Olympia is notoriously loud, so I'm afraid the earplugs got pushed that bit deeper. The legendary Captain Sensible is playing up to his characters image, in his colourful clothes and trademark red beret, the handsome crooner/vampire Dave Vanian is strutting up and down the stage at the speed of lighting whipping his mic lead as he paces.
The Adicts, are on my photographic agenda, so its another march back to the Empress Ballroom, just in time. It all kicks off as the band emerge dressed in a 'Clockwork Orange' theme, Kid the drummer, holds his sticks up in readiness, and the guitarist waltzes in with huge Blackpool glasses on. Monkey in contrast appears in a glittery suit, complete with waistcoat and hat, flicking a pack of playing cards. The Adicts are a visual and aural delight, but I'm expected back at the Olympia for the two final bands of the night, so I'm afraid I probably missed something special. Its now 1am, on the last leg, The Vibrators are already on the smaller stage, there is no Knox but Pete is a fine vocalist and guitarist, and we witness some great action. It's always good to hear those old songs, memories of being a teenager, and the backstage area is packed with onlookers, probably thinking the same thing. And last but not least, we have our final band, a scorching performance from Buzzcocks. (who happened to be staying in our hotel btw). The crowd are a sea of happy faces, singing along albeit tired and sweaty, and it's been a great day.
Our work is done here, it's been a spellbinding day of bands, amidst the heatwave of the complex, completing a total of 21 bands on our checklist. Our weary bodies head for our hotel at 1.30am.
SATURDAY: After a good nights sleep we are refreshed and raring to go once more. The first band of the day is DragSTER, (another band we have featured here at Mudkiss) female fronted firecracker Fiona Friel leads the way, hardly pausing to keep still for long. Pounding those sleazy punk rhythms and attitude, this girl has balls, and writhes around on the floor screaming lyrics from the album 'Here Come The Meat Robots' to a decent sized crowd, the band aint' too bad either.
Healthy Junkies, are up next, fronted by the Parisian beauty Nina Courson. It’s the first time I’ve seen them, and how very remiss of me. They offer us grungy psychedelic guitars, with pop sensibility, not as aggressive as other punk bands, but they can still command the stage, and I really liked them. Mental note must check them out again.
It’s always great to see female fronted bands, (if you haven't noticed they are my favourites) and of course we have the ultimate punk frontwoman Texas Terri Bomb. TXT is totally in charge as she rips through the set, an unmistakable female Iggy Pop, taking on a cover version of ‘I Wanna be Your Dog’. Also not averse to sharing the stage with other singers, she invites a couple of her friends to perform The Dead Boys ‘Sonic Reducer’, so now we have Colleen Caffeine, Nikki Hearse, and Tara Rez. It’s a free for all and the crowd love it.(Mudkiss interviewed TXT back in 2010)
After all that excitement, it’s time for a bit of a breather which leads us upstairs in the Spanish room, to check out the artwork/photos ect on display, then wander around the vintage stalls. We're just in time to see a couple of interviews conducted by John Robb. Author Teddie Dahlin - (interviewed here by Mudkiss back in 2011) is being grilled regarding her two recent book publications from Sid Viscous to Gary Holton.
It's good to just step back a bit from the live music for a while as there is so much going on, and we are doing a spot of people watching and photographing, there is a plethora of interesting looking individuals around, whether they are musicians, stall holders or Rebellion ticket holders, and we do a bit of social networking in the bargain.
We catch a couple of songs from all female gang The Smears, from Nottingham, as they entice us into their lair, which happens to be in the Arena, blistering punky, and grungey, delivered with all the power of a sub machine gun, another interesting group which needs further investigating.
The Empress Ballroom beckons for vintage punk band Vice Squad with the gorgeous age defying frontwoman Beki Bondage, still a punk pin-up.What can you say about Vice Squad which hasn't been said before, they are still a great punk band whose longevity speaks volumes. Yet another (STP Records) band is playing in the Olympia, and its time for some sleazy fun, from the bunch of crackpots who call themselves Dirtbox Disco, performing songs from their recent album ‘People Made Of Paper’ they manage to pack out the large space. This band is certainly going places, if tonight is anything to go by, and the admirable thing about them is that they don’t take themselves too seriously. They are even joined on stage by Maximum R’ Roll singer wearing a lime green mankini costume and a balaclava.
The next band which takes my fancy are Duncan Reid & The Bigheads, (Duncan formerly the singer with The Boys) its a bit different to the punk bands around today, both easy listening and easy on the eye too…(plus he thinks women are wonderful). Duncan is bopping around with his sharp suit and Rickenbacker, with a bunch of rock n' roll riffs. I would have liked to stay and watch more but still lot's of bands to check out and photograph.
The highly popular Irish Canadian punk band The Mahones are highlighted next on the agenda over in the Olympia,and they almost blow the roof off, with their riotous infectious music, which makes everyone wanna dance their ass off and party, they certainly painted Blackpool red tonight. I stayed and watched for a while before heading out to catch a duo I never thought I'd ever be photographing.
Chas & Dave are so far removed from the punk bands playing at Rebellion, but are a massive hit with this audience, as they hold them captive, with their pub singalong cockney rhythmic tunes. I can't say they did anything for me to be honest, but each to their own...so pardon the pun I won't rabbit, rabbit on anymore about it. I'd met the chirpy chaps from Cockney Rejects earlier at the merch stall, as they were in the midst of a stampede from fans buying their albums and latest 'East End Babylon' movie on dvd. We featured Mick on these very pages, in fact it was one of the first interviews we did in 2008 (you can read it here). I suspect half of East London had followed the band down as it began to get rammed full of faithful fans. The Geggus brothers are a punk band who've served their time since the late seventies, and they are still the leaders of the pack.
We are on the last leg of bands and I'm starting to flag a little, what better way to recharge the batteries than with a touch of The Rezillos, a fun and lively band, with plenty of dancing and colourful outfits, revving up those memories of 'Top Of The Pops' before it became tarnished by the ghost of Jimmy Saville and his misdemeanour's. I darted across to the Pavilion and caught a quick glance over at dub rockers Ruts C, the room was heaving with people and the heat was unbearable, so after a few quick snapshots off I trotted.
American horror inspired punk band The Misfits became our grand finale for this evening. We'd met the 'devilocked' Jerry Only earlier as he did a little meet and greet at their merch stall. What a nice man, he turned out to be. Tonight is a different matter, and he is a mean looking horror machine, destined to scare you all shitless. The three piece managed to summon up all kinds of evil with their hardcore punk, and metal shenanigans, played at full speed. ...and so thirteen bands later we are zooming at break neck speed down the motorway back home.
SUNDAY: Due to an aviation show being held in Blackpool we got delayed after trying to park for what felt like hours. Therefore missing the four bands we had highlighted to see, Electric River, Wrecks, The Terraces and Goldblade. So feeling a tad disheartened we made our way to the Arena for our first band of the day, the street punk band Crashed Out from Tyne & Wear and they played it very loud with some rebel rousing crowd pleasers. Now we are ready to get started...
Heading out to the Olympia in readiness for Detroits punks Choking Susan I caught sight of a man dancing around on stage wearing a big bird costume, it was Geoffrey Oicott & The Dickie Birds. A bit of fun is much needed as people are starting to look a little bit weary, from all the late night partying, so Choking Susan fronted by Colleen is here to offer you a large helping of Caffeine. Warming up first with her stretching exercises, then launching into ' Waste My Time' strutting, posing and being the sensual deviant that we all love about her. A photographers dream, and....a delightful fun loving kooky set.
Billy Liar is playing down in the Acoustic stage, a quick photo call and away we go to get fucked up on something a bit heavier. I actually mean the hardcore punk band from Canada Fucked Up. Damn right it's fucked up, Damian Abraham is a beast of a man, with a heavy set beard, and a tad scary, although he's smiling so can't be all bad. Before the 3 songs are up, he's topless and in the pit, then amidst the crowd, drinking beer out of random cups, and shoving the mic in their faces. The last I saw of him he was lost in the middle of the crowd....who knows what happened next?...
I scrambled my way through the crowds to go and photograph North West punk band The Roughneck Riot. Its been a few years since I last saw them at Warrington Music festival, they can still delivery the energy and passion mixing folk and punk in their own style. You can't fail to keep still when the Roughnecks bomb the stage.
So the heavyweight American punk band The Bronx are on in the Empress Ballroom, currently rated one of the best live bands around (or so I'm reliably informed by managing editor Andy). It sure is a blistering performance from the hard rockers, if you like it hard and heavy - call me boring....shout me down...but I actually prefer their alter egos Mariachi El Bronx.
Lene Lovich is calling like a little bird from the Pavilion, its packed to the rafters of this beautiful vintage theatre. I got a nudge from a punter asking "is it really 'Lene Lovich' or just a band, if so I am not gonna be fucking pleased". I assured him it was the real Lene. On with the show, as she appears dressed in her usual eccentric garb, head to toe in veils, plus assorted headgear. Wow she must be sweltering, but before too long it was discarded, and we could see her face and those long plaits. Lene still has a great stage presence, and THAT enchanting voice!
Now I must admit when I heard the next artist might be doing something with a bit of nudity I couldn't resist having a gander, so with a dubious and enquiring mind I headed to the Arena. So complete with his band He Who Cannot Be Named walked onto the stage, under bright white lights, wearing a coloured face mask and shamelessly stark bollock naked. Now in my book that is what I call brave....ermm so to be honest I didn't hear much of the music as I was too busy trying to concentrate on my craft. It was one of those awkward moments but I think I held it together pretty good...and everyone had a beaming smile on their faces, including me or so a security guard informed me.
Time for some much needed rockabilly, and its the job of suave looking trio The Peacocks, from Switzerland to provide it. I really loved these rockers, as did the arena crowd as they danced their asses off to tracks from their album 'Don't Ask'. They have so much dynamic energy and enthusiasm, and I think I've just fell in love with singer Hasu Langart. I could have stayed to watch the entire set, but the infamous punksters Jello Biafra & The Guantanamo School Of Medicine were appearing in the Empress Ballroom. From the word go it was frenetic, the enigmatic Jello was pacing the floor in his colourful uniform with top hat and tailcoat, maniacally spouting political messages in his own zany fashion. Of course they pulled out some of the old Dead Kennedy numbers 'Holiday In Cambodia' and the singalong 'Too Drunk To Fuck'. Needless to say this was a totally explosive and well executed performance and much applauded by all the punters.
Excitement was building down in the Empress as reunited old skool punk band Sham 69 were due to appear, (albeit a bit later than billed) featuring original line up of Jimmy Pursey, bassist Dave Tregunna and guitarist Dave Parsons. In walks Jimmy wearing a hoodie, a mask over his face, Guiness can in hand, throws this down, then kicks off with 'What Have We Got', followed by 'I Don't Wanna' and 'Ulster Boy' the crowd go wild. The boys are back and the classics follow 'Angels With Dirty Faces’, ‘Borstal Breakout’ and 'Hersham Boys'. I have it on good authority that they went down a storm, as I hotfooted it down for the final band of the night, to check out the Toronto psycho punk band with the big sound The Creepshow, fronted by singer/ guitarist Kenda. As I arrived the sounds of raucous rock n' roll was emitting from the venue, and I managed to jump into the pit for the last two allocated songs. They are a ferocious live act, giving it the full on dirty rock n' roll treatment. Loved them so much I even bought a tee shirt!
So that folks was the end of the four days, having photographed 50+ bands, and trying to remember it all. I hope I have managed to do some justice to them all, and convey the spirt of the event. It proved beyond doubt a triumphant long weekend, with something for everyone, and much better than last year, with more diversity and variety.
My wish list for next year would be a reformation of Generation X headlining the Empress Ballroom, with Blondie on their 40th Anniversary. Maybe Keith Levine (Ex PiL), and if I am being really greedy Emilie Autumn on the Bizarre Bizarre stage. A Burlesque performer would be cool, as would a specialised massage area, for all those weary stiff necks and shoulders half way through the day. But whatever next years line up will be I am certain that it will be a raving success. Apparently tickets are available right now, and NOFX are have already been booked to headline, so get your early bird tickets and B&B booked its gonna be another great weekend of fun & frolics down by the sea.
ONLY 1000 tickets Available at this price

The North Carolina Tar Heels made it look easy in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, and Bradley Beal Elite alum Caleb Love was at the center of the blowout victory.
Caleb drained six threes, an NCAA Tournament record for a UNC player, and finished with 23 points and the eighth-seeded Tar Heels picked apart No. 9 Marquette 95-63.
Caleb Love’s 6⃣ three-pointers tie the most by a Tar Heel in any NCAA Tournament game in history.

Despite being seeded in the middle of the pack, the Heels looked more like a top-seed in their tournament opener, racing out to a huge first half lead. Caleb assisted on the first bucket of the game for North Carolina and followed with his first three as they tipped off the game with a 5-0 lead.
Marquette scored eight of the next 10 points in the game, but UNC followed with a 20-2 run to make it 27-10 and put the Golden Eagles completely on their heels. Caleb credited UNC’s defensive presence with giving them the opportunities to get the offense going.
“We pride ourselves on the defensive ends and we saw that we could turn them over and make them take bad shots. That contributed to that run,” he said. “My competitive nature and my team’s competitive nature came out. We played it smart and we came out with the win, that’s all I care about.”
Caleb knocked down all six of his made threes in the first half and scored 21 of his 23 points in the opening 20 minutes. By halftime, UNC was more than doubling Marquette on the scoreboard, leading 53-25.
It was academic from there as UNC even got some run for their second teamers at the end of the one-sided victory. UNC moves on to a tough matchup with defending National Champion Baylor Bears.


Changes to the Automobile Insurance Act and the Insurance Companies Act will receive second reading in the House of Assembly today. The changes are intended to help stabilize insurance rates while enhancing consumer protection to benefit the people of the province.
Some of the key changes to the legislation include an increase in the deductible from $2,500 to $5,000 for bodily injury claims; introduction of treatment protocols for common injuries as the primary payer; no access to the Uninsured Automobile Fund for losses by uninsured motorists; direct compensation for property damage; requirement for insurance companies to notify the Registrar of Motor Vehicles of the cancellation or expiration of insurance policies; and changes to procedural rules for motor vehicle collision claims.
Proposed amendments will also provide a mandated insurance discount for winter tire usage, implementation of underwriting guidelines concerning the optional use of telematics, and changes to the rate setting process.
The proposed amendments can be found in the backgrounder below.
In addition, as part of Budget 2019 the Provincial Government will eliminate the remaining tax on automobile insurance. More details will be provided on Budget Day.
There are also other changes to be implemented that are part of the Provincial Government’s suite of measures to stabilize insurance rates that do not require changes to auto insurance legislation, including permitting electronic proof of auto insurance and plate-to-owner program.
The proposed amendments are the result of feedback received through the Board of Commissioners of Public Utilities’ independent review of the automobile insurance system, as well as public consultations in the spring of 2018 on government’s EngageNL website, and consultations with stakeholders such as the insurance industry, legal community, the Consumer Advocate and the taxi industry.
Recognizing that driver behaviours also play a role in helping stabilize insurance rates, the Provincial Government is committed to highway safety and continually updates the Highway Traffic Act to keep current with safety practices.
A number of recent changes to the Highway Traffic Act include enhanced move-over provisions; changes to reflect the legalization of cannabis; introduction of a one-metre rule; strengthened distracted driving rules, excessive speeding and street racing provisions; as well as penalties for stunting. Changes were also made to the Act to deter impaired driving including mandatory ignition interlocks, impoundment of vehicles and zero tolerance for novice drivers and drivers under age 22.
“Our number one priority during the automobile insurance review has always been the consumers of Newfoundland and Labrador. When we initiated the review, our goal was to identify opportunities to keep rates as low as possible and help bring stability to the industry. We recognize that we cannot provide a single quick fix for the high insurance rates in our province but, together, the amendments we have introduced today will help achieve our objective.”
Honourable Sherry Gambin-Walsh
Minister of Service NL
“The amendments strike a balance between stabilizing insurance rates for the consumer while maintaining access to justice for victims. I want to thank the Public Utilities Board for their comprehensive report that contributed greatly to the first significant review of auto insurance in almost 15 years.”
Honourable Andrew Parsons
Minister of Justice and Public Safety and Attorney General

text: Neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease (NIID) is a neurodegenerative disease defined by the presence of eosinophilic hyaline intranuclear inclusions. The initial and main clinical feature of adult-onset NIID is predominantly dementia. We present herein 2 cases of sporadic adult-onset NIID with longstanding urinary disturbance prior to development of other neurological symptoms. Case 1: A 71-year-old woman was admitted after she lost consciousness while bathing. She presented slowly progressive bladder dysfunction starting at the age of 40. Recently, she complained of recurrent light-headedness on standing. Her neurological findings showed miosis, muscle weakness, rigidity, hyporeflexia, sensory disturbance, cerebellar ataxia, and orthostatic hypotension. Case 2: A 68-year-old man was admitted because of episodes of transient loss of consciousness. Ten years earlier, he had developed urinary dysfunction. His neurological findings revealed cognitive dysfunction, cerebellar ataxia, and hyporeflexia. Both patients had leukoencephalopathy and motor-sensory neuropathy. In both cases, diffusion-weighted imaging showed high-intensity signals in the corticomedurally junction; and skin biopsy samples revealed ubiquitin-positive intranuclear inclusions. Therefore, we made a diagnosis of adult-onset NIID. Although numerous cases of this disorder have been reported in the past, there were only a few cases showing the development of other neurological symptoms after longstanding urinary disturbance. Our cases suggest that it is worthwhile considering the possibility of NIID in cases with a long-term history of neurogenic bladder dysfunction.
