Summer staycation: Where Germany's politicians are spending their holidays
From Chancellor Angela Merkel to Bavarian state premier Markus Söder, Germany's politicians are drawn towards Deutschland's domestic destinations this summer. Here's where they're headed.
After months of coronavirus crisis management, Germany’s Bundestag and Bundesrat have taken their parliamentary summer break.
For many politicians, this means a chance to head on holiday before the last quarter of the legislative period begins.
But in times of pandemic travel warnings and border closures, the choice of potential holiday destinations is limited, even for politicians. Yet that has not stopped them from setting their sights on some of Germany’s best travel destinations.
Due to the virus, Chancellor Angela Merkel (Christian Democrats, or CDU) is planning on spending her summer holiday domestically this year. When asked on ZDF Television in June where she would go exactly, the Chancellor simply said "Germany” without giving a more concrete answer.
In the past years, Merkel was often drawn to the mountains of South Tyrol in northern Italy. But the Chancellor will have to wait a little longer for her Alpine fix.
Next week, the EU special summit on the EU coronavirus reconstruction awaits. That means Merkel is still on duty on her 66th birthday on the first day of the summit on July 17th.
Home, sweet home
Interior Minister Horst Seehofer of CDU sister party CSU is planning a staycation - and not just because of the coronavirus.
"I have not been going on holiday for 25 years, as I would rather stay at home in my Heimat, especially in the Altmühl valley," in Bavaria said Seehofer. "Once you get to know it, you’ll never want to go elsewhere."

The Ingolstadt resident has a holiday home in the nature park known for its spectacular low mountain range.
CDU Secretary General Paul Ziemiak has similar ties to his homeland. He says he is lucky to live "where many Germans go on vacation.” Ziemiak and his family will spend a large portion of their days off from work and school in Sauerland, as he told DPA.
A staycation is also in the cards for Environment Minister Svenja Schulze of the Social Democrats (SPD). "Actually, my husband and I wanted to go on holiday in France this year,” she told DPA. “Now we are staying in Germany and are at home in Münster most of the time.”
Bavaria's state premiere and CSU leader Markus Söder is spending his holidays at home, but is looking forward to a mudflat hike during an official visit to northern Schleswig-Holstein in August.
For CDU leader Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, "relaxed, sunny days" with family, friends and bicycle tours are on the agenda, she told DPA.
Wherever they get a chance, Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and his wife Elke Büdenbender like to relax in the mountains. That’s where they are headed this summer too, though the President's Office stayed silent about the exact destination.
In the past, Steinmeier and Büdenbender crossed the Brenner Pass and hiked in South Tyrol.
Finance Minister Olaf Scholz (SPD) also wants to hike with his wife. According to his ministry, he is also looking forward to a few days to read, sleep in, jog, and ride his bike.
The ministry did not want to reveal whether the Vice Chancellor, who lives in Potsdam, and his wife, Brandenburg's SPD Education Minister Britta Ernst, will stay in their home turf or relax somewhere else.
According to a spokesperson, Green Party leaders Annalena Baerbock and Robert Habeck will use the holidays to spend more time with their families. But Greens faction leader Katrin Göring-Eckardt has set her sights on sailing in the Baltic Sea.

For Foreign Minister Heiko Maas (SPD), the decision on where to go on holiday is highly political. His ministry is responsible for travel warnings and travel advice for foreign countries, which change rapidly in coronavirus times. So personal holiday planning can quickly be seen as a political signal.
That’s why Maas has so far blocked all questions about his holiday destination, not even revealing if he’s staying in Germany or going abroad.
"I don't give any travel recommendations either. Because if I did, it would cause a lot of trouble with about 25 other Member States of the European Union," he once said at a press conference with his Italian colleague Luigi di Maio.
According to her ministry, Justice Minister Christine Lambrecht (SPD) is taking very little time off over the summer because of the coronavirus crisis and the German EU Council Presidency.
"If work permits, she will go to the Dolomites for a few days to recharge her batteries and go hiking", a spokesperson said.
Alternative for Germany (AfD) Chairman Jörg Meuthen does not yet know how he will spend his holiday: "Everything is still open with me because Covid-19 has reopened all the original plans".

What are the dates of the “real” press conferences given by President Biden?
I recently read an article that claimed that President Biden as of the 7th of June 2021 had given only one "real" press conference, where the reporter defines a "real press conference" as one in which the President stands at a podium for a considerable amount of time (at least 30 minutes?) and takes questions from randomly chosen reporters with follow up questions allowed.
This is at odds with statistics from the American Presidency Project, which claims that Biden has held 6 solo press conferences and 3 joint press conferences.
If we define a "real press conference" according to the standard described by Tom Jones in the article linked above, how many has Biden held and what were the dates of those events?


NEW YORK (AP) – In a University of Maryland laboratory, people infected with the novel coronavirus take turns sitting in a chair and putting their face into the large end of a large cone. They recite the alphabet and sing or just sit in silence for half an hour. Sometimes they cough.
The cone sucks in everything that comes out of the mouth and nose. It’s part of a device called “Gesundheit II” that is helping scientists study a big question: How does the virus that causes COVID-19 spread from one person to another?
Clearly hitchhiking on small liquid particles sprayed by an infected person. People expel the particles as they cough, sneeze, sing, scream, speak, and even breathe. But the drops come in a wide range of sizes, and scientists are trying to define just how risky the various types are.
The answer affects what we should all do to avoid getting sick. This is why it made headlines a few days ago when a US health agency appeared to have changed stance on the issue but later claimed to have published a new language by mistake.
The recommendation to stay at a distance of at least 6 feet (2 meters) – some authorities cite about half that distance – is based on the idea that larger particles fall to the ground before they can travel very far. They are like droplets in a window cleaner spritz and can infect someone by landing on their nose, mouth or eyes, or perhaps by being inhaled.
But some scientists are now focusing on smaller particles, ones that spread more like cigarette smoke. Those are carried by puffs of air and even upward air currents caused by our body’s heat. They can stay in the air for minutes or hours, spreading around a room and building up if ventilation is poor.
The potential risk comes from inhaling them. Measles can spread this way, but the new coronavirus is far less contagious than that.
For these particles, called aerosols, “6 feet is no magic distance,” says Linsey Marr, a lead researcher studying them at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg. But he says it’s still important to keep your distance from others, “the farther, the better,” because aerosols are more concentrated near a source and pose a greater risk at close range.
Public health agencies have generally focused on the larger particles for the coronavirus. This prompted more than 200 other scientists to issue an appeal in July to pay attention to the potential risk of aerosols. The World Health Organization, which had long ruled out a hazard from aerosols except in the case of certain medical procedures, later said that aerosol transmission of the coronavirus cannot be ruled out in cases of infection within indoor spaces. crowded and poorly ventilated.

The issue attracted attention recently when the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention posted and then deleted statements on their website highlighting the idea of aerosol spread. The agency said the posting was a mistake and that the statements were just a draft of the proposed changes to its recommendations.
Dr Jay Butler, the CDC’s deputy director for infectious diseases, told The Associated Press that the agency continues to believe that larger, heavier droplets that come from coughing or sneezing are the primary means of transmission.
Butler told a scientific meeting last month that current research suggests aerosol spread of the coronavirus is possible but doesn’t appear to be the primary way people get infected. Further research could change that conclusion, he added, and urged scientists to study how often the coronavirus aerosol spread occurs, what situations make it more likely, and what reasonable measures could prevent it.
Marr said he thinks the aerosol infection “is happening a lot more than people were initially willing to think.”
As a key piece of evidence, Marr et al point to so-called “super-diffusing” events in which one infected person apparently passed the virus to many others in a single environment.
In March, for example, after a choir member with coronavirus symptoms attended a rehearsal in Washington state, 52 others who had sat across the room were found infected and two died. In a crowded, poorly ventilated restaurant in China in January, the virus evidently spread from a lunchtime customer to five people at two adjacent tables in a pattern that suggests aerosols were being spread by the air conditioner. Also in January, a passenger on a Chinese bus reportedly infected 23 others, many of whom were scattered around the vehicle.
Butler said such events raise concern about aerosol spread but do not prove that this is happening.
There may be another way to spread the tiny particles. They may not necessarily come directly from someone’s mouth or nose, says William Ristenpart of the University of California, Davis. His research found that if paper towels are sown with the flu virus and then crumpled, they emit particles that carry the virus. So people who empty a trash can with handkerchiefs discarded by someone with COVID-19 should make sure they wear a mask, he said.
Scientists who warn about aerosols say the current recommendations still make sense.
Wearing a mask is still important and making sure it fits well. Keep washing your hands diligently. And again, being further away is better than being closer. Avoid crowds, especially indoors.
Their main addition to the recommendations is ventilation to avoid an accumulation of aerosol concentration. So, the researchers say, stay away from poorly ventilated rooms. Open windows and doors. Devices for air purification or ultraviolet light which inactivates viruses can also be used.
Best of all: do everything you can outdoors, where dilution and ultraviolet light from the sun work in your favor.
“We know that the outdoors is by far the most spectacularly effective measure,” says Jose-Luis Jimenez of the University of Colorado-Boulder. “On the outside, it’s not impossible to get infected, but it’s difficult.”
The various precautions should be used in combination rather than just one at a time, the researchers say. In a well-ventilated environment, “6 feet (of separation) is good enough if everyone is wearing a mask” and no one stands directly downwind of an infected person for very long, says Dr. Donald Milton of the University of Maryland School of Public Health, the whose laboratory houses the Gesundheit II machine.
Exposure duration matters, so there’s probably not much risk from a short elevator ride while masked or being passed by a jogger on the sidewalk, experts say.
Scientists have published online tools to calculate the risk of airborne spread in various contexts.
In a recent meeting on aerosols, however, Dr. Georges Benjamin, executive director of the American Public Health Association, noted that preventative measures can be a challenge in the real world. Keeping separate from others can be difficult in homes that host multiple generations. Some older buildings have windows that were “nailed shut years ago,” he said. And “we have too many communities where they simply don’t have access to clean water to wash their hands.”
It might seem odd that despite all the scientific frenzy to study the novel coronavirus, the details of how it spreads may still be in doubt nine months later. But history suggests patience.
“We have been studying influenza for 102 years,” says Milton, referring to the 1918 flu epidemic. “We still don’t know how it is transmitted and what the role of aerosols is.”

Katy Perry Subtly Shades Taylor Swift At Kanye West's Concert
2016-10-27 | Total Views: 157 | Author: AIO News
Katy Perry turned 32 yesterday (October 25), and she celebrated by voting early in a perfectly patriotic getup, then dancing on the grave of her enemy, Taylor Swift. The birthday girl treated herself to a night out at Kanye West’s Saint Pablo Tour stop in L.A., where she thankfully didn’t hop onstage to resurrect their weird “E.T.” collab. Instead, she planted herself in the pit and captured a moment of subtle but glorious shade. As ‘Ye rapped his controversial “Famous” lyric about Swift (you know the one: “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that bitch famous”), KP filmed herself bopping along nonchalantly. The shade, y’all. The shade.

Farmers and ag representatives among those bemused by tariff talks
American agriculture emerged as a primary target this week as China’s leaders struck back over Trump administration tariffs, escalating a trade spat between the world’s top two economies.
The Chinese government announced Wednesday its plans to impose 25 percent tariffs on select U.S. imports, amounting to $50 billion. If implemented, the Chinese tariffs would distress a range of agricultural producers in the U.S.
Soybeans, corn, beef and pork are among the exports listed under the sanction plan. The news comes one day after the White House released its own list of tariff threats on more than 1,000 imported Chinese products, to protest Beijing’s alleged theft of U.S. technology.
None of the tariffs have gone into effect yet, as the Trump administration still aims to persuade China to lower trade barriers despite the country’s doubled-down response. With the U.S. tariff plan now in phase for further review and public comment, agricultural agencies throughout the state have been quick to rally around the state’s farmers.
The tariffs would have a devastating effect on the 28,000 soybean farmers in the state, said Minnesota Soybean Growers Association President Michael Petefish, who petitioned the White House to restrain from starting a trade war on the backs of American farmers.
The MSGA released a statement on the morning of the retaliation announcement, urging the Trump administration to reconsider the plan that sparked the imminent trade conflict.
According to the MSGA, China buys around 60 percent of total U.S. soybean exports, accounting for about $14 billion annually. Minnesota nets more than $2 billion annually from soybean exports, with China being the state’s top market
Oak Center farmer Marvin Peters has been farming soybeans, corn and hay for more than 50 years — long enough for him to see how major trade agreements have increased the returns for farmers substantially. Peters said the proposed tariff plan is unlike anything he’s seen before, and would cause a ripple effect in the industry, affecting more than just the crops that China decided to target.
"It would all have a way of backing up," said Peters of the potential consequences to the proposed tariffs. "Because if the market takes a hit, farmers are going to change their cropping plan — which reflects back on the seed companies and the fertilizer industries, and everything down the line."
Peters said the tariff talks won’t affect the way he plants this season because his harvest is already contracted out, but he’s not sure about next year. For farmers who aren’t as fortunate to have a price locked-in, the global dispute is more daunting. For their sake and his own, Peters hopes that an agreement can be made between the countries to save the successful global partnership.
Minnesota Pork Producers Association CEO David Preisler said the tariffs could make U.S. pork products less competitive globally, but he doesn’t foresee market prices in pork to reach new lows. Preisler, who has presided over the MPPA for the last 25 years, said the exchange in tariffs is unlike anything he’s seen before.
"Obviously there have been tariffs in the past that have been put on products," said Preisler of the proposed levies. "But not in this kind of retaliation way."
The American pork industry sent $1.1 billion in products to China last year, with Minnesota being the third-ranked pork-producing state in the country. In 2017, Minnesota’s pork industry sold around 15 million hogs from the nearly 3,000 producers in the state.
"Anytime we have things that can disrupt exports, yes it’s very concerning," said Preisler, who said the MPPA is still optimistic and looking forward to trade negotiations with other countries.
Preisler said it’s still too early for pork producers to make any kind of big scale adjustments. Unlike the soybean industry, Preisler said that pork producers still have a handful of countries they can rely on for exporting their product.
According to figures from January, the United States exports its largest volume of pork to Mexico, and second-largest to Japan. China is the third-largest market for U.S. pork, ahead of South Korea and Canada.
The Minnesota Farm Bureau released a similar-sounding statement Wednesday afternoon, encouraging the preservation of a market that Minnesota farmers rely on heavily.
"The recent actions by one of our largest trade partners could prove to be detrimental to Minnesota farmers and ranchers," said MFB President Kevin Paap. "The current trade disputes need to be resolved without harming agriculture."

U.S. authorities on Sunday are investigating the outbreak of violence in Virginia following a white nationalist rally that killed one person and injured more than 30, presenting U.S. President Donald Trump with a major domestic challenge.
The violence in the Southern college town of Charlottesville on Saturday was widely condemned, with many politicians and activists on both the left and right also criticizing Trump, a Republican, for waiting too long to address it and when he did so, failing to explicitly condemn the white-supremacist marchers who ignited the melee.
Virginia police have not yet provided a motive for a man plowing a car into a crowd of people objecting to the white nationalists, but U.S. attorneys and the Federal Bureau of Investigation have opened a civil rights investigation into the crash, an FBI field office said.
Four people have been arrested, including James Fields, a 20-year-old white man from Ohio who is being held in jail on suspicion of crashing the car. The vehicle killed a 32-year-old woman and injured 19 people, five of them critically.
Federal authorities were also looking into a helicopter crash on Saturday that killed two Virginia state policemen aiding efforts to quell the clashes.
On Sunday morning, Ivanka Trump, the president’s daughter and White House adviser, appealed on Twitter for Americans to “be one country UNITED. #Charlottesville.” She also posted: “There should be no place in society for racism, white supremacy and neo-nazis.”
U.S. Senator Cory Gardner of Colorado, who chairs the Republican Party’s Senate election effort, called on the president to condemn “white supremacists” and to use the term.
“Calling out people for their acts of evil – let’s do it today – white nationalist, white supremacist,” Gardner said on CNN’s “State of the Union” program on Sunday. “We will not stand for their hate.”
An organizer of Saturday’s “Unite the Right” rally, which was staged to protest the planned removal of Confederate war hero Robert E. Lee’s statue from a park, said supporters of the event would not back down.
WATCH: Violence breaks out the night before Virginia city braces for white nationalist rally
“Absolutely we are going to have further demonstrations in Charlottesville because our constitutional rights are being denied,” said Jason Kessler, whom civil rights groups identified as a white nationalist blogger. He did not specify when.
Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe, a Democrat, declared an emergency and halted Saturday’s planned rally, but that did not stop the violence.
About 15 people were injured after rival groups fought pitched battles using fists, rocks and pepper spray.
“There is no place for you here,” McAuliffe said, addressing white supremacists. “There is no place for you in America.”
The rally stemmed from a long debate in the U.S. South over the Confederate battle flag and other symbols of the rebel side in the Civil War, which was fought over slavery.
Trump said on Saturday that there was more than one side to the Charlottesville incidents. “We condemn, in the strongest possible terms, this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides,” he told reporters at his New Jersey golf course.
He did not specifically mention or fault the role of white nationalists.
On Sunday, White House homeland security adviser Tom Bossert defended Trump’s response. “I think declaring racial bigotry unacceptable is a very smart and calming thing for the president to do,” Bossert said on CNN. “It’s not meant not to condemn hate.”
The Charlottesville violence is the latest clash between far-rightists, some of whom have claimed allegiance to Trump, and the president’s opponents. At his January inauguration, black-clad anti-Trump protesters in Washington smashed windows, torched cars and clashed with police, leading to more than 200 arrests.
About two dozen people were arrested in Charlottesville in July when the Ku Klux Klan rallied against the plan to remove the Lee statue. Torch-wielding white nationalists also demonstrated in May against the removal.

Organdy: Lightness meets elegance
Manufactured of finest cotton and extensively ennobled - Eugster + Hubers‘ Organdy fabric wins every fashion lover over with a sheer and classy optic. Its wearing comfort turns Organdy into a feel good-fabric. Despite the lightness, Organdy makes it possible to create exclusive designs which inspire everyone.
Eugster + Huber – specialized in Organdy.
From cotton to a shiny and transparent dream-fabric
The manufacturing of Organdy requires a special technique to ennoble the fabric. The so called Batist is the basis for creating an Organdy fabric. Batist is a tightly woven, fine threaded fabric that is produced in linen weaving. That means that every single thread, required for the producing of Batist, will be woven in a particular pattern. The pattern of linen weaving is characterized by a high scrub- and slip-resistance. This attribute is reflected in Organdy fabrics as well.
In comparison to the basic fabric Batist, Organdy shows some more attributes such as:
- higher consistency
- higher wash resistance
These attributes of fabrics are often accomplished by an extensive procedure using acid. When treated with concentrated acid, Batist turns into a transparent and opalescent fabric – the Organdy. This procedure leads to a stiffening of every single texture yarn. Our Organdy is washable at 40 degrees and can be ironed afterwards so that the characteristic stiffness will persist even after washing.
The different Organdy types
Organdy can be ennobled in different ways. There are two different types of Organdy in our collection: Organdy Jacquard and Organdy burnout. Organdy Jacquard is woven with a special Flamé yarn. Organdy burnout is treated with an extra developed paste so that it will receive the exact design like it would have been printed. There are no limits for creativity!
Application range of Organdy
Whether elegant blouses, wedding dresses or imaginative shirt creations: Organdy is mostly the first chosen fabric! Especially classic- or vanguard-oriented fashion designers chose the multifaceted and breezy Organdy fabric for their collections. Organdy is also very suitable and in vogue for christening robes and communion dresses.

Congress trains gun at Modi govt over activist GD Agarwal's death even as condolences pour in
New Delhi, Oct 11: The Congress has lashed out at the Union Government over the death of environmental activist GD Agarwal, who passed away at AIIMS Rishikesh on Thursday following an indefinite fast demanding conservation of River Ganga.
Agarwal was on a fast-unto-death for the last 111 days. He sat on his fast on June 22 to protest against the government's alleged inaction in taking measures to make the Ganga free of pollution and free-flowing.
The Congress dubbed government's tall claims on Ganga cleaning as 'jumla'.
"Modi ji said river Ganga is calling him but it is even more polluted than it was in 2014. Rs 22000 Crore was allotted for cleaning it, not even one-fourth of it has been used. Is Namami Gange also a 'jumla'? Maybe GD Agarwal ji's sacrifice will provide vision to this blind government," Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala told ANI.
Agarwal, who took on the name Swami Gyan Swarup Sanand later in his life, began his fast on June 22, demanding steps to stop construction of hydroelectric projects along the river's tributaries and enact the Ganga Protection Management Act.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his condolences and said Agarwal's passion for Ganga cleaning would be remembered always. "Saddened by the demise of GD Agarwal. His passion towards learning, education, saving the environment, particularly Ganga cleaning will always be remembered. My condolences," Modi tweeted.
Even Uma Bharti, who was the Water Resources minister earlier, expressed her grief over the death of Agarwal.
"I am shocked by his demise. I had feared that this would happen. I have informed Nitin Gadkari and others about his demise," she said.
Water Resources and Ganga River Rejuvenation Minister Nitin Gadkari had earlier said two of Agarwal's demands were accepted.
"We have accepted almost all his demands (on cleaning of the Ganga). One demand was to ensure minimum environmental flow for Ganga river at various locations and we have come out with a notification," PTI quoted Gadkari as saying. The second demand, Gadkari said, was to bring a legislation to protect the Ganga. The legislation has been sent to Cabinet for approval.
Agarwal had been engaged in indefinite hunger strikes since 2008, calling for the Central government to protect the river Ganga. This is the second death of a fasting seer demanding undisrupted flow of Ganga. In 2011, Swami Nigamanand (36) of Matri Sadan died after fasting for more than 2 months, seeking a ban on illegal mining in Ganga river.

Mr. Shamlian has yet one more reason to be upset: He has already been conditionally approved for a liquor license by the S.L.A.. In October 2006, the community board approved the initial application for Evan Ford’s license, and the S.L.A. provided a conditional letter of approval in December 2006.
This whole situation likely could have been avoided, though, if the board had the personnel to verify the names on the petition. However, with resources stretched thin, that is not an option.
“Absolutely not,” CB3 district manager Susan Stetzer said. “Not only do we not have the manpower to do something like that, but we are also not an investigative body. We take the names on good faith.”
Michael Smith, a public information officer at the S.L.A., would not disclose whether the names were individually checked during the application process, but did note that all submitted materials were looked at closely.
“Our licensing board takes into consideration all application materials,” Mr. Smith said. “We review all those materials thoroughly.”
While an imperfect gauge, the petition does play a part in the decision-making process, both Ms. Stetzer and Mr. Smith noted, as it indicates a neighborhood’s sentiments about a new place.
Mr. Shamlian is not worried about changing the system, though. His real qualm is that the allegations and the subsequent investigation could seriously delay the opening of Evan Ford.
“This investigation could tie things up for the next eight months,” Mr. Shamlian said. “I mean, this is my livelihood we’re talking about.”

Just like clothes, different shoes are designed for different events. The workplace dress code policies for different companies require their male staff to wear formal shoes. As more companies embrace formality and professionalism, the men’s formal shoe market continues to experience growth: the market is growing at a rate of 6.2%. It is also worth noting that formal shoes are also increasingly being worn to social events; they are not limited to the workplace.
To get the best formal shoes for men, here is what you should put into consideration.
This might come as a surprise, but not all formal shoes for men are the same. There are many different types, and familiarizing yourself with them will help you make the right choice depending on the use. If you visit a shoe-store, you will be presented with oxfords, which are usually detailed and go well with fitting pants with a length that does not hide the details of the shoes. There are the classy cap toes, monk straps, and loafers.
While selecting the type, you should think of your overall dress code and the places you will be wearing the shoes. You should be able to choose a pair that dresses the part.
- Select durable material
Formal shoes for men can be pricey. You, therefore, want to choose a pair that will give you service before you have to replace it. So far, leather is the best material for formal shoes. Genuine leather is not only durable, but it also showcases class.
Formal shoes for men come in a variety of colours. While choosing, ensure that the colour you pick will be easy to pair with your attire. The most common colour for men’s formal shoes are hues of black and brown. Recently, two-toned formal shoes for men are also gaining popularity.
At this point, you should look at your wardrobe and see whether the colour you are about to choose will blend well. Black and dark brown are usually very easy to pair. You will not look odd wearing them with any of your suits. Having several pairs in different colours will be even better.
Formal doesn’t have to be boring. Formal shoes for men come with a plethora of designs. Take advantage of this to express your personality and taste. As minimal as they may be, details such as stitches and overlay can bring out the element of style effectively.
While buying formal shoes for men, never trade comfort for anything. There is no point in buying beautiful shoes, but you can’t wear them throughout the day because they are ill-fitting. You will enjoy wearing them only if they are comfortable: make sure you get the right size. On top of that, buy from a reliable supplier like Mochi: it is one of the ways to confirm whether or not you are working with quality.

Thanks to Perry Corvese for reminding me about this video of Davy being interviewed on Australian TV from his California home in 1970. He talks about the Saturday morning repeats of The Monkees television series, the state of Monkees affairs at the time, and more. Check it out on the 1970 page, too.
It's great to see this show up on YouTube. I remember watching it when it was first aired. The Monkees had come off the road in September 1989 and this was the first high profile Monkees-related TV appearance after that point. Davy is the first guest...
Brand new to the Live Almanac's YouTube channel is Bill Chadwick's single for Dot Records, "Talking to the Wall"/"If You Have the Time." Thanks to Kevin Schmid for providing the audio, and the scans of the 45s in the video are courtesy of Monkee45s.
Bassist Bobby Dick was a member of the 1960s music group, The Sundowners, who opened for The Monkees (along with Jimi Hendrix and Lynne Randell) on their 1967 summer tour. In this two-part interview from the Headquarters radio program (originally airing on August 18 and September 1, 1988), Bobby talks about his days with The Sundowners, touring with Jimi Hendrix, and what it was like being on the road with The Monkees in 1967.

Belly Details New Album 'Immigrant': 'I Was Completely Open and Vulnerable'
By Nicole Mastrogiannis
October 8, 2018
During a time when there are many controversial issues in the world, and perhaps more than ever before, Belly is not afraid to speak is mind ... and he is doing so through his music. The 34-year-old middle eastern born rapper/songwriter/producer is now sharing his new full-length studio album, Immigrant, showcasing a collection of songs that are extremely important to him.
Previous to the album's release, fans heard songs like "What You Want" featuring The Weekend and "Maintain" featuring Nav, and on Immigrant, Belly includes many more artists, like Meek Mill (who is featured on the title track).
Belly, who recently performed at the Daytime Stage at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas, opened up to iHeartRadio about Immigrant. He talked about what the LP means to him, which songs mean the most, the album cover, what happened to Midnight Zone and more. Read on below.
In relation to your new album Immigrant, on Twitter you said "With everything going on, I can't sit by and say nothing and I've decided to speak my truth." So what truths will your fans learn when they listen to this album?
"I think they'll learn my most important truths. Like the truth that it takes a lot for an artist to sit down and really express parts of their life. I feel like with this one, I was completely open and vulnerable to the pen and paper. And it's probably the most honest piece of work I've ever put together in my life."
What was it like to put this together, especially with the subject matter being so personal?
"Putting this together was like a puzzle almost. At times I didn't know what pieces should go where, I just kind of made the music, and I wrote what I needed to write, and said what I needed to say. And then I think the pieces kind of fell into place after that. But at first, I think because it was so personal, it was hard to have an outside perspective on my own project, and when I finally finished it and stepped back, I kind of knew what to do with it."
What do you think the most important song on this album is?
"The title track, I think. 'Immigrant.' Meek Mill's featured on it [and] it's just brutally honest. It really addresses some things I think a lot of people are afraid to address right now, but I'll gladly take the position. I guess always, I like to run to the fire, not from it, you know? So, I got a lot to say and I'm not gonna hold back. And that's really the song that I said what I need to say on."
Would you say "Immigrant" is your most personal song or is there one that's like a little bit more closer to your heart?
"My most personal is the intro, 100%. It's the intro of the whole project, it's called 'Another Note.' I think the intro is the most personal to me because I talk about family stuff in it, and I knew that it was gonna be hard to perform it, even in the studio. So I kind of knew that I was gonna break down, and I knew where I was gonna break down. Like, it was one part that I really couldn't get through, and I told them to make sure not to stop, even [if] I stop, just let it go. So, I actually like, break down in tears in the middle of the intro, and it just runs until I get my composure back and keep going. I wanted that honesty to be there. I didn't want to clean it up and cut it up and just deliver it like that. I wanted people see [that] this is really stuff that weighed a lot on me, and me speaking on it is helping me get through everything."
Tell us about the Immigrant album cover art?
"This is me in kindergarten holding a microphone. I was reciting a poem to my mother, that's how the picture came about. And she took the picture. I gotta give her photo credit, by the way. But she took the picture."
And those are all your classmates?
"At the time, yeah. This was in Jordan, in the Middle East."
Is there one message that you hope your fans take away from this album after they listen to it?
"With everything going on, there are a lot of messages I hope [fans] take from my music. I think first and foremost, just honesty. You'll hear the honesty in the music, and I think if we could start there, everything else will kind of figure itself out. There's too much lying going on; everybody's a liar nowadays. Everything you watch on TV's a lie. So, I just wanted to give people an honest piece of work, some honest art. And I really feel like, at least for myself, I deliver. And it helped me on so many levels, so I hope it can help them the same way."
You were working on Midnight Zone. Has that project changed into Immigrant? Or did is Midnight Zone off to the side for now to the release of Immigrant?
"Yeah, it was a weird process. Like I said, it was really hard to like ... you know, I cut off songs from the initial project, which was Midnight Zone, and kind of started with just the basis of Immigrant from certain songs I had made for Midnight Zone. But I mean, it's still there mostly. It's mostly still there. There's some that I can revisit. I love the concept and I always though the concept was incredible. But it's just not the time for it I don't think."
Maybe one day?
"Yeah. Definitely maybe. That's what we should say."

Facebook has ramped up its efforts against fake and bot profiles on the platform. “We’ve made improvements to recognize inauthentic accounts more easily by identifying patterns of activity — without assessing the content itself,” Shabnam Shaik, a technical program manager with Facebook’s Protect and Care Team, wrote in a note published on the platform.
The new changes analyse posting and messaging patterns on the platform to weed out fake profiles. “We’ve found that when people represent themselves on Facebook the same way they do in real life, they act responsibly. Fake accounts don’t follow this pattern, and are closely related to the creation and spread of spam,” the note further claimed.
The improvement is part of Facebook’s effort to reduce the distribution of misinformation, spam or false news on Facebook. It has been under fire since the 2016 US presidential election for spreading fake news on the platform. Although, Mark Zukerberg has tried to deflect criticism, in the past few months the company has increased its efforts to weed out misinformation and misleading information from the platform.
The social network has made it difficult for spoof domains to buy ads from Facebook’s Audience Network. It has also made it easier to report and share misleading information, using its disputed tag. Last year, Facebook partnered with fact-checking organizations to check the rise of misinformation on the website.
Earlier this month, the company hinted at paying fact-checkers to combat fake news on the platform.
The social network is also running and funding a media literacy campaign, the Facebook Journalism Project, to “equip people with the knowledge they need to be informed readers in the digital age.” The company recently also funded CUNY Graduate School of Journalism’s News Integrity Initiative to increase trust in journalism.
In a blog post last week, Facebook announced the roll out of yet another media literacy campaign to help users spot fake news and misinformation. For three days, users in the 14 selected countries across Europe, Asia and the Americas saw a message at the top of their newsfeeds, directing them to a list of 10 tips on identifying false news stories, including verifying web addresses, identifying manipulated photos, inspect grammar, spellings, date of publication and sources etc.


High Maintenance is Brighton based James Smith and his records are pretty much on every USB stick or burnt CD of all underground DnB DJs across the land. His releases are so full-on that the ground beneath the dance-floors where his tracks are heard tend to split like the parting of tectonic plates. Very appropriate for the in-house style of AudioPorn Records.
Combining soulful liquid sensibilities with dancefloor-damaging energy, and equally at home in a dubstep, drumstep or drum and bass tempo, High Maintenance isn’t one to be confined by genre. Now he’s back to cement his status as a talented producer at the top of his game as he returns with the highly anticipated ‘Watching Me’ EP.
Watching Me Ft. Georgina Upton
This track is a collaboration alongside label colleagues Mediks, hence why it is so weighty, destructive and an onslaught of hammering mids, industrious drums and sweet, sweet melodies. Featuring the delicate larynx of the heavenly Georgina Upton, this tune is an instant grabber. There’s nothing about this that says it is a grower, it’s gorgeous from the off. Monstrous DnB. This WILL do well. Mark my words.
Let You Go Ft. Katie’s Ambition
Once again featuring vocal talent, this time we have Katie’s Ambition which adds a kind of sultry Old Skool vibe uplifting the crowd through the diverse and mammoth-in-size basslines. The build up is quick and the drop is substantial. It is an assault on the ears. A frenetic frenzy of arms, singing and smiles will occur upon hearing the deep, sordid mids drive this track through the ceiling.
A sense of euphoria is felt when this tune starts off and it is fully present when the drop comes in. Rather than the usual vigourous nature that High Maintenance possesses, this track has a more anthemic flavour which will bring the crowd together in great unison. It must be an awesome feeling to be amongst a crowd when this tune is played. It’s so warm and you can feel the natural development of dopamine progressing from within you. Lovely.
Finally we have an instrumental behemoth and if this is The Future then we are all done for! This is pure carnage and will turn clubland into mosh-pits. It begins with an 8-bit synth riff which then morphs into subwoofer wrecking power. I can’t say anymore other than listen and get it. It will get you wearing the war-mask.
Unfortunately a certain heavy metal outfit from Texas has already coined this before, but I would call the Watching Me EP a vulgar display of power. And it is excellent.
Watching Me EP by High Maintenance is released by AudioPorn Records on September 8th, 2013

I love new-year’s resolutions. Come new-year’s day and, as if convinced my hangover would not be the same without them, my self-doubt and regret make their way from my fuzzed brain, through my burning eyes and down my shaking hand, where they are crudely manifested on an empty page in my journal.
You are now 25 years old, they remind me, and you are not a rock star like you promised you would be. You are now 27 years old and you are a father. What do you know about being a father? You are now 29 years old and you are not a rock star, you are not rich, you don’t own a home and you work too much and spend too little time with your family. You are now a 30 year old; 31 year old; 32 year old – failure.
It’s a self-loathing that stems from a hangover and an over-critical imagination. On January the 1st, I am not a person, I am the sum of all the failed dreams I had. And every year, on January the 2nd – because I spent the 1st in a miserable mood – I sit down and write down my plan for making this year a better one that the others.
I didn’t do that this year. Instead of feeling sorry for myself I had another beer. Then I had ice-cream for breakfast and cold pizza for dessert. I spent the day talking about superheroes with my son, chasing my two-year old daughter around the house and every now and again just giving my wife a hug and a kiss. I realised that I was good enough for them, and that was enough. But it wasn’t.
I knew the insecurity was still somewhere in my head and I knew it was going to come out so I did the most sane and rational thing I could think of. I decided to try my best and, since everyone should have a role-model and something to aspire towards, I decided that my best would be Batman. Yes. This year I made no resolutions to myself, but instead I will be applying myself to be more like Batman.
So I thought more about Batman and, while the deep and philosophical epiphanies were there, it was the perceivably more mundane that got to me. Understand me well though, there is nothing mundane about the Dark Knight, but the things I list are not necessarily the stuff of powers.
1. Batman has a genius-level intellect: which I probably do not. But I definitely can do with reading more and learning new things, thereby developing my mind.
2. Batman is in peak human physical condition: which I am not (see the pattern forming?). So therefore, to be like Batman, I need to exercise more and adopt a healthier diet.
3. He is a skilled martial artist and expert hand-to-hand combatant. Which, surprisingly, would not be the most difficult skill to learn and which could be quite useful. I decided I could resume the Karate lessons I had had when I was seven, or, and this is after consideration of the accompanying “Bad-Ass” points, I would subject myself to Krav Maga.
4. Batman is an expert detective: which is ideal for me as I had finally acquired the last piece of motivation I had needed to become a Certified Fraud Examiner.
5. The Dark Knight utilises high-tech equipment and weapons. This was difficult, as I am not a gun-enthusiast and I had never actually fired a weapon before. However, after enrolling, I can say now that I am nearly done with my firearm competency programme – and it turns out – I know how to shoot.
6. Batman is an expert in criminology, forensics, engineering, mechanics and many more disciplines of which I am simply aware and in no way adept, but that’s the whole point. Learn a new skill.
And the final point (of the more mundane if you choose to view it that way):
7. Batman is wealthy. Actually, Bruce Wayne is, but he is not who I am aspiring to be so Batman will be rich instead. This has made me start to think further than I would’ve normally thought. Every year I had worked out a Financial Plan, with clear steps and a colour-coded spreadsheet footprint, but that has never worked and, for me, I don’t think it will ever. Now I am thinking bigger. Now I am aiming at doing something more!
Even though my interpretation might seem skewed in some areas, or conveniently applied in others, I am not bothered, because whenever I am criticised or berated or even when that unease starts up in my head, I just reply in my hoarsest voice: “I’m Batman”.
I nearly forgot! There are the other Batman lessons I should also mention, such as:
1. Know your ethics
2. Live by a code
3. Value mentorship and be a mentor
4. Make a difference
5. Fight for truth and justice
6. …and even though you might not like other people, try to work as part of a team.
How do you deal with loss without losing yourself in hoping to get back what you have lost? How do you deal with the loss of a mother? How do you carry on when you lose the one friend that could understand you without having to hear a single word? How do you deal with losing a father that has decided to lose himself without even thinking of what it would do to you?
You cannot. It’s impossible to keep on to yourself when you are losing the things that made you the person you were. It’s impossible to stop hoping that it was all just a bad dream and that the people will be by your side to wake you up and hold you as a mother would hold a crying child waking from a nightmare. It’s your nightmare and even if you try you cannot wake yourself from a sleep that’s not real. You cannot wake yourself up when you find yourself unable to sleep; when you lie awake in the night reliving the moments when you had to say goodbye.
There are those that will tell you it’ll pass. They will hold you when you cry and they will hope you make it out alive. They will continue loving you no matter what but it’s not the same. Someone who hasn’t lost what you have lost will never understand the desperation of having prayers unanswered; of doubting whether anyone is actually listening when you pray.
Someone who hasn’t been down the path you are on will never be able to hold your hand the whole time. When you lie awake they will sleep because they do not know this haunting. They will carry on, because their steps aren’t as heavy as yours. They will tell you it will pass but you know as well as they don’t that this kind of pain never disappears. There are no plasters for a heartache. There’s no medicine that can repair a broken soul and what’s more; they can’t pick up the pieces that have fallen from you, because they don’t know which parts are gone.
How do you deal with loss without losing yourself in hoping to get back what you have lost?
The answer is that you don’t. You will always lose yourself and it’s only you that can find a way out. But remember; even if it’s a small pin that sticks in the back of your mind, that the people who cannot feel what you do; they are still looking to find you as much as you are looking to get yourself back.
I am bipolar and I have always been pretty open and honest about it. I am NOT one of those: “I/he/she MUST also be bipolar because I/they have so many mood-swings and sometimes do things that I/they mustn’t do.” Sometimes people feel down and sometimes they feel happy. Sometimes people get angry and unreasonable and sometimes they are just being assholes. Some things are just mood-swings and some things people do are just plain stupid and wrong and they feel too scared to take accountability for it.
I am the other kind of Bipolar. I am that type that has justified suicide in the same week as one where I had spent two months’ salary in one day with nothing to show for it and did some things that are pretty damn illegal which I still do not recall actually doing or being of sane mind when I did them. Note that I was sober the entire time.
Once I had reached the point where I was facing disciplinary action at work, a lot of problems seemingly beyond fixing in my personal relationships and suicidal thoughts that lead me to actually justify the action without feeling any remorse or guilt – I planned the event and even made sure all my affairs were in order just in case.
But what I did then astounded so many people. I actually went and got help!
This is the catch – many people claim to be Bipolar or depressed and many people use this excuse as something to explain things such as mood swings, depression or doing stuff they know they shouldn’t be doing and most of these people I have met have never gotten help for it; simply because someone might tell them they are full of shit.
Now don’t get me wrong; if you really feel depressed and feel that there is a serious problem, do not be too scared or proud to seek professional help. The people I refer to in here know exactly who they are.
Here are some things to note:
1. I have to drink medication daily for the rest of my life to make sure I don’t do shit I should not and to keep me balanced so that I don’t assault someone or slit my wrists;
2. I have to live with the fact that my son might most probably be diagnosed as bipolar later in life as I know that my condition is genetically inherited;
3. I have to make sure that I keep myself in check at all times to ensure a relapse doesn’t occur; and
4. I have to consistently see psychologists and psychiatrists to make sure I am still on the right medication and using the right dosage and that my mental state is how it should be.
I am one of those people that joke about it simply because that is one way I cope with it and I have no issues with anyone else joking about it either. But there is a limit!
And now for the actual reason I write this:
Dear people who use the condition of Bipolar Personality Disorder as excuses to justify shit you do such as:
– slacking off at work;
– taking drugs;
– coming late at work;
– drinking excessively;
– cheating on your spouses; and
– overall just making bad decisions – CUT IT OUT!
You are sending the wrong message about something you have no knowledge of.
It is hard enough to live with this disorder and we don’t need people stimulating and feeding a stigma that we are trying our arses off to break.
If you genuinely suffer from this condition and feel that it justifies everything you do then have the guts to also take the steps to manage it. With the right medication and the right counselling it is a manageable condition – which is something the rest of us try to do every day to make sure that we are not discriminated against and seen as f#cked in the head.
I ask this in the nicest way I can think of and hope that you will pay attention to my plea.
Someone actually trying to be Bipolar in peace
Like vampires a few years back and zombies an even fewer back, the newest obsession seems to be Dystopian Fiction. I can understand the fascination, having been a fan of this genre since I could read really big words, but the bigger fascination for me, what wonders me the most is the need for this to be a new obsession, even if not really so new (look at a Brave New World by Huxley or Orwell’s 1984, hell just look at these themed movies like Hunger Games and Divergent).
The question is simply whether we are becoming scared or are just as unsure as to what the future holds that anything, any story that can possibly give us an idea, becomes both an escape and an example. What seems clear from all these stories is that:
1. One small faction of people control the populous;
2. All people not part of the small faction accept the order of things without question (apart from the heroine or hero – obviously);
3. People are kept oblivious to the concept of freedom; and
4. It is realistic enough to be reality even within a time frame as short as the next forty to fifty years.
And what these stories awaken in us is even more exciting as every person who watches or reads them feel that if they were in that situation they would rebel and rise up just as the heroine or hero does. We all want to believe that we would not be a part of the accepting populous.
Here’s the catch! – We already are!
Not to make this political in any way, but the people these days accept more and more, even if only out of a sheer loss of will to fight it; people accept the order of things to be what they are told it is. Complacency is a normal response now and in the Dystopia we find so fascinating, nearly all of us would not rise up like the protagonists, in fact we would even want to stand by and watch them fail.
Is this human nature?
No, I don’t think it is, but it is on its way! The fact that we still feel we would fight for our beliefs even if we don’t do it now, tells me that we still hold on to some shred of pride and hope. But for how long will this still be applicable? When the media is being controlled and the money we give to help build a better life for everyone, especially for the poor, is used without shame by those in power to enrich themselves.
We stand by and watch people get away with heinous crimes and with blatant lies and we accept it and bring it up in conversations with a knowing, “but that’s life, what can you do?” ending all of our discontented statements.
Today we will argue over the issues, but no one really steps up and enforces what we all feel. We incite but never deliver on our threats.
We “share” stories on social networks so that everyone can know we care, but when asked to contribute something (and I don’t mean money) to the cause we find excuses and divert our intentions to something else to “share”.
If Vampires were real – we wouldn’t fall in love with them, we would be sh#t scared of having our necks bitten;
If the Zombie Apocalypse happens – most of us would be Zombies within the first week; and
If the Dystopian Fiction becomes reality – we would possibly not be as cool and rebelliously awesome as we all secretly think we would, we’d probably be the oblivious naïve populous…
…because we’re already most of the way there!
There are relatively few people in my life that I like and fewer that I trust (you can add your own interpretation of relatively few). I am not enough of a cynic to refuse to meet people or give them time or thought, but I have been hurt and mistreated often enough to be careful of whom I let into my life and whom I consider as part of my life.
But then there are the unexpected strangers; people you walk past every day for months or years and never notice for what they are. These are the people you consider strangers simply for your own lack of ever attempting to see them as more than that.
It’s with a sincerity I reserve for only those moments you can’t lie or argue with yourself, those moments when you have to admit your own folly and thank the universe for its persistence that I address these people, more specifically, this person.
Thank you. I want to thank you for the faith you have in me even though I never thought of asking for it. Because you gave it to me unconditionally you made me want to continue working to deserve it! I want to thank you for the kind words you send me and how, without knowing it, these come from you at moments when I really need them. It’s the meaningful pictures, the encouraging messages and moments when you just get me. It’s the friendship I never expected that came as if it had always been meant to be.
It’s been a long time now that I have wanted to give you this message and even though I am usually good with words, these words have taken some time to fall into the right order. These words have been lying in my mind since the first moment I saw what you had done for what it was, and what it was is simple – it was the kindness of no stranger.
Today I find myself lost again. I’m getting lost in my mind and I get tangled up in the hundreds of things that float there, things usually undisturbed by my worrying. I’m losing myself in those non-trivial things I normally replace with the trivial. Today my thoughts are not about ‘what if I was rich?’ but rather, ‘what have I done so far with my life?’ My mind does not set me up to daydream today, no, it’s asking me questions like whether or not I am a good father and whether or not I am a good husband. Today my worries manifest themselves and I wonder whether I am, if you get down to the most important question; I wonder if I am a good person.
Am I doing all the things I am supposed to be doing? Am I the kind of man I was supposed to be already? Do I love my job? Am I doing my job? Is that whole, ‘more to life’-thing that I hang on to with so much vigour, really there? Is there more to life or do I just say it to myself to keep my sanity?
Today I find myself lost again. I try to think my way out of it, try to resolve each question in turn and hope that the questions get less, but they don’t. Every answer I can think of is added to the question as an additional doubt, a ‘yeah-right’ to my attempts at making sense of it. Today, I know, is going to be a long day and every minute that goes by brings me closer to the luxury of sleep where I will, hopefully, be able to escape all of this thinking. But as I know by now, after days like today, tonight I will find myself lost again. And you can’t try and think your way out of a nightmare.

Hardly two weeks on the job and doctors and nurses at Carletonville Hospital’s maternity ward say that Victor Mokokotlela is a welcome relief.
As one of the inaugural clinical associates to graduate from Wits University in December, Mokokotlela’s duties include taking care of the hospital’s post-natal patients.
“This is a very remote hospital and we need all the help we can get. Being in such a remote area makes it hard for us to attract professionals,” said Matabo Letsoalo, hospital spokesperson. Read the full article published in the New Age on 19 January 2012.

The Chinese Embassy in Russia has accused Russian border guards of “barbarous” treatment of Chinese citizens on the Russian-Kazakh border. Russia replied that it was “an isolated case.”
“We made it clear that this incident seriously violated the rights of Chinese citizens and is completely inconsistent with the current friendly relations between the countries,” the Chinese embassy said in a statement, quoted by the South China Morning Post (SCMP).
The border incident happened at the end of July. According to a statement from the Chinese embassy, five Chinese were denied entry to Russia from Kazakhstan at the time and their tourist visas were revoked. Before that, they were interrogated for almost four hours, the embassy notes.
The embassy did not release the names of the tourists, but the SCMP found that the facts from his statement matched the story of a well-known Chinese video blogger under the nickname Jin Wenxin. On Monday, July 31, he published a video in which he said that he and four friends were not allowed into Russia in the Astrakhan region. Jin complained that Russian border guards searched their luggage three times and treated them like “criminals.” Jin’s post has received more than 30,000 likes since it was posted.
A Chinese embassy statement cited a response from Russian officials. According to him, the Chinese were denied entry to Russia because “the destination indicated on their visa application did not match their actual destination.” The Russian side stated that “this case is an isolated one”, the country does not pursue a discriminatory policy and welcomes Chinese citizens to visit the country.
The Chinese Embassy notes that it has asked Russia to conduct an additional investigation and provide a “satisfactory answer.”

Dear Crochet Buddy and Internets,
I need some help! I found a beautiful pattern for African Violets but I have no idea what to do with the flowers now that they’re done!
I’ve tried three different colour palettes with a light shade of purple, pink, or blue in the middle, and a darker ring toward the outside. The base for all three is Cascade 220 Paints in Paradise Beach, which I love and have used in at least four projects so far.
I could put all the hexagons together into an afghan, but that seems like it could be a bit busy.
I think I’d like to maybe find a nice neutral color and make an afghan with hexagons like these scattered throughout. They’re easy and fun to make though, so maybe I will stockpile more before I make a decision.


One of the almost miracle weapons that were to stop the victorious advance of the Allies, which they fortunately did not, was also the German Biber midget submarine (1/72 Special Navy new kit for this October). In 1944, when the mass production of the sub was commenced, also a new type of a road trailer was needed to haul the sub to the area of its combat deployment and a variety of heavy road tractors was used to tow the Biber on the trailer, as were the Hannomag SS-100, Faun or Kaeble. And when off road, half track vehicles such as the SdKfz.7 or SdKfz 8 were used too.
Special Hobby kits are limited-run plastic models from the Czech Republic. Recommened to experienced modelers only. May contain resin, photoetched or vac-form parts.

Three Short Reviews:
If you're looking for a movie to see this weekend, I have a recommendation and two warnings.
My recommendation is THE COMPANY MEN, a drama about three corporate executives who lose their high paying jobs and can't find new work. It's a serious, all too familiar subject, and the actors--Ben Affleck, Chris Cooper, and Tommy Lee Jones really do the story justice.
Some audiences may not feel sympathy for six figure salary men who wind up on the street, but layoffs are no less troubling and life changing for them than anyone else.
Affleck is Bobby. His strategy is to maintain appearances until he can find a new job, but he winds up having to work as a carpenter for Kevin Costner, his brother-in-law who doesn't even like him.
The most poignant of the trio is aging executive Chris Cooper has even less success finding gainful employment. And even being second in command of the company can't save Tommy Lee Jones' character. He's been opposed to mass layoffs from the start, and he's the last one to be fired. THE COMPANY MEN is more like a solid TV drama than a fully realized feature film, but the actors compensate for some slight weakness in the script.
SOMEWHERE is director Sofia Coppola's slow paced look at the empty life of a rich, successful Hollywood actor. Steven Dorf is that actor, a self-indulgent but well intentioned guy who barely knows the eleven year old daughter who comes to stay with him for awhile. Elle Fanning plays the precocious young girl who is the closest her father ever gets to a real human connection. Unfortunately, SOMEWHERE is more boring than poetic; watching it really tried my patience. It's nowhere near as good as the director's most famous film, LOST IN TRANSLATION.
THE ILLUSIONIST has earned an Oscar nomination for best animation. But you should know that it's not for kids or for mainstream audiences of any age. Instead, it's strictly aimed at an art house audience, especially those who enjoy the kind of art films that were made just after the movies were able to use sound. You see, there's almost no dialogue at all in this meandering story of an elegant but shabby old magician and the young female he travels with.
The script was written in the 1950's by Jacques Tati, the filmmaker/actor. It was adapted and brought to the screen by the animator who did THE TRIPLETS OF BELLEVILLE.
THE ILLUSIONIST is visual poetry, but its melancholy tone and artistic style are from an era that is long gone.
