This is two articles. The first goes like this:
Illinois lost to Purdue. Fire everyone.
Fireable offenses include: another missed PAT (fire special teams coordinator Tim Salem); Wes Lunt had no protection, was hit so hard he started limping, and then got hit a bunch more (fire offensive line coach Tom Brattan); the running backs, as a group, ran for less than 80 yards (fire running backs coach Alex Golesh); the defensive line had zero sacks and just 3 tackles for a loss (fire defensive line coach Greg Colby); Purdue’s second-string quarterback Austin Appleby threw for over 200 yards (fire linebackers coaches Al Seamonsen and Mike Ward); Purdue gained over 500 yards (fire defensive coordinator Tim Banks). Finally, but most importantly, ILLINOIS LOST TO PURDUE: FIRE COACHIN’ TIMMY BECKMAN.
That’s the first article, the BURN IT TO THE GROUND article. At this point, six games into the season, it’s obvious that Illinois has reached its nadir. Despite added depth, experience, and talent, Illinois has regressed from last year and things do not get worse than this, maybe never have been worse than this. Thus, the natural conclusion is that everyone must be fired.
The second article is one of moderation. Formulated after a day’s reflection and a couple hours listening to the Illini Radio Network’s postgame call-in show, the second article’s premise is that, yes, Illinois football is broken, but the path to fixing it is not much different than the current path.
After the game yesterday I went to the team interview session, like usual. I watched Tim Beckman stand in front of reporters that would undoubtedly be calling for his head in their columns and declare that the only thing to do was to try and improve. It was the same message he’d given at each of his previous 31 games in charge, but it was different, too. Beckman’s eyes were red and puffy and he admitted this was the worst he’s felt after a game. The subtext to all of it was that he knew what he was doing wasn’t good enough for this team.
Then, when I got home, the radio was playing the call-in show and I left it on. I heard the voices of Illini fans flung far and wide voicing their frustration over the air. Their message was much the same as I wrote in the preamble, “This is unacceptable and someone, or everyone, must pay the price.” It was reactionist and uninformed but probably warranted.
As the hosts reminded everyone, including those calling for athletic director Mike Thomas to be fired, there is no easy fix for Illini football. Last time the team needed a new coach, Kevin Sumlin took less money to go coach Texas A&M (which has worked out alright for him) and Beckman was the best available, his coaching skill notwithstanding.
Illinois football has never been a marquee program able to attract the big names. Even within the Illini fanbase, how many of us cling more dearly to the commitment announcements of 17-year-old hoop stars (Cliff Alexander, Jalen Brunson, et al.) than the outcome of a nonconference football game? I admit I fall in that camp. With that in mind, what does Thomas have to sell the likes of Sumlin: a chance to coach a team with a losing record, poor recruiting, and a fanbase that would rather be watching basketball? Sounds like a tough sell, if you ask me.
Since this is a recap of the Purdue game, technically, here are the vital stats: 202 passing yards by Austin Appleby (had 89 yards total in 3 games previous), 349 rushing yards for Purdue (had just 671 as a team in 5 previous games), 7.8 yards per rush for Purdue (averaging 3.9 coming into Saturday’s game), 2.6 yards per rush for Illinois (Purdue allowing 4.0 to opponents in previous games), 0 turnovers for Illinois (just 7 turnovers all season), 0 sacks for Illinois (just 12 all season). With those in mind, it’s rather clear that Tim Beckman will, and probably should, be fired. I’ve been of a mind that firing Tim Beckman was not a good move, but this game fully changed my mind. Yet I’m not sure his firing would help anything.
What’s the move going forward? Illinois is no easier to sell after the failed Tim Beckman experiment. Those at the top of the short lists, Michigan State’s Pat Narduzzi, East Carolina’s Ruffin McNeill, North Dakota State’s Chris Klieman, they’re likely going to be like Sumlin and accept jobs at better football schools, such as Michigan or even SMU.
So it’s likely that Thomas will be down to a second or third option when selecting a replacement for Beckman this winter, no matter how much money he throws at the problem. That doesn’t make it Thomas’s fault, though. After all, he’s made some good coaching decisions in his brief tenure. I think we could all agree John Groce and Matt Bollant are doing a fine job.
This thing just has to play out as it plays out. Maybe Thomas gets it right with the football coach this time around, or maybe the program is too broken to fix. None of that is consolation after this terrible, ugly, no good loss to Purdue, however.
Player of the Game
The game on Saturday was fairly miserable for Illini fans, but it’s not all the fault of the players. Yes, they failed to execute and at times looked less than inspired against Purdue, but these kids (remember their age?) are talented and not deserving of the scorn the coaches are receiving.
In fact, I’d like to praise the few players who were available to talk to the media on Saturday. They all walked in with eyes redder and puffier than Beckman’s, they sat through his answers with their head in their hands and still managed to put on a brave face and talk to reporters. Junior linebacker Mason Monheim even took the blame off his coaches, placing firmly on his shoulders and those of his teammates for not getting the job done. Monheim could have called out his coaches for terrible play-calling, for not teaching good tackling skills, for not emphasizing strength training, or for any of the number of things the players are likely upset about but not sharing with anyone. But he didn’t. He was mature and he didn’t pass the buck. Illinois could use a dozen more Mason Monheims.
The player of the game, though, was Mike Dudek. And if anything is going to make you feel good about the future of the Illini, it was the freshman wideout’s performance against Purdue.
With each game we’ve seen Dudek grow as a receiver, and on Saturday he was simply sublime. He turned incompletions into receptions, he beat his defenders, and he kept drives alive. At the end of the game he had 200 yards on 8 receptions, an average of 25 yards per catch.
Defenses in future games will be more aware of Dudek and just better in general, but you can’t help but be excited by a performance like this from such a young player. I hope Illinois football is able to have some success before Dudek’s years in CU come to an end.

HubSpot’s software-as-a-service helps businesses generate leads and convert sales through the use of search-engine optimization and social media posts.
In the latest quarter, the company earned 3 cents a share vs. a year-ago loss of 11 cents. It was its first quarterly profit since HubSpot went public back in October 2014. While the company is expected to lose 8 cents a share this year, analysts forecast the first full year of profitability to be in 2018, when it earns 20 cents per share.

My online earnings have increased by about 25% this week alone, and I know it will continue to increase. It is taking a lot of motivation on my part, but it is truly going to be worth it once I start really seeing a steady income every month.
Yahoo Voice has been the biggest increase so far. I have received three up front offers this week for articles that I had submitted, and my page views have almost doubled in the last two weeks. I do not know for sure what is causing the increase, but I am hoping that it continues as I continue to submit articles on the site.
My Firehow views has almost doubled as well. I have been submitting quite a few articles recently, but I am liking the increase of income. I have made payout this month already, which is $15. I know that is not a lot of money every month, but I am happy with the addition to my income. I am trying to put a plan together to submit 100 quality articles to Firehow each month.
I have not put much work into Squidoo, but I am still making a small amount of money each month. I have been reading up on the site, and see that there are people that make a decent income on there. I am putting together some lens ideas so that I can start to really see what potential Squidoo has.
The couple of blogs that I work on the most have been increasing in traffic, and I have seen a small increase in my income from them. My blogs are more of a way for me to speak my mind and get input from others, so the income from them is just a plus when it comes in.
I also have a few other miscellaneous things that I do online that is helping me reach my goal of earning a full time income from home so that I can spend more time with my son when I start school.I have been trying to put in more effort to the sites that I know will give me a higher monthly income, but I never forget about the small earners because they usually give me a steady income each month.
August Goals for my Home Income:
Submit at least 1 article each day to any site.
Write 25 articles a week for Firehow
Write 5-10 articles a week for Yahoo Voices
Stick to my schedule for everything
Be halfway to making a full time income from home

The annual event, which ends Saturday, has traditionally been a time when travel and tourism professionals nationwide “unite to celebrate the value travel holds for our economy, businesses and our personal well-being.” This week has seen tourism officials take a different approach to getting that message out to the public.
In The Past
Jenna Moore, the director of sales for Johnson City’s Convention and Visitors Bureau, said in the past that she and other local officials would go to state welcome centers in Bristol, Kingsport and Unicoi County to hand out cupcakes, popcorn and brochures to visitors letting them know of the attractions available in the region.
Officials with the Johnson City Cardinals, the Hands On! Discovery Center and from area river rafting companies also went along to help promote the area.
“They were representative of the things in our community that visitors might enjoy doing,” Moore said.
Officials with Visit Johnson City also spotlighted many other things to see and do in the area, as well as showed their appreciation to the hotels that serve the local tourism industry.
This year, Moore said the city’s tourism staff has taken to social media to promote the region.
And Visit Johnson City is hoping local residents will join it in helping to get the word out to others on social media who might want to visit the area.
“We are able to communicate with local people, businesses and visitors on social media in a safe way,” Moore said.
Those sites can be reached on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
A New Approach
Visit Johnson City is partnering with Bank of Tennessee in offering a “Dine On Us” gift card give away through Facebook. The two groups will give away $100 to local restaurants each week during the month of May.
“This social media effort is a small way we can help local restaurants and people in our community,” Brenda Whitson, the executive director of the Convention and Visitors Bureau, said in news release earlier this week. “Whether you’re taking advantage of re-opened businesses or ordering curbside, we hope everyone does their part in protecting each other by following social distancing guidelines.”
Tourism officials are also asking local residents to participate in a “24 hours in Johnson City,” a survey from which the results will be used to create a custom itinerary for visitors to the area.
“This is what our community says are fun things to do while you are here,” Moore said.
The most recent statistics from the U.S. Travel Association shows tourism accounts for $272.6 million in visitor spending and $6.3 million in local tax revenues generated annually in Washington County.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a noticeable impact on travel to the area. A number of spring events have been canceled, including the Blue Plum Festival that was scheduled for the first weekend in June.
“Many of our summer athletic events have been canceled, and some have been postponed,” Whitson said Tuesday. “I think what is to come in the fall is yet to be seen, that will depend on guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and our governor.”
Whitson said the goal of tourism leaders in the region is to utilize as many social and digital platforms as possible. That includes a new landing page for the Convention and Visitors Bureau’s website that will be launched later this month.
“It will highlight curated virtual experiences, and itineraries that align with our attractions and offerings in our region,” she said. “We will have a targeted demographic in cities that are drivable and within 300 miles.
She said research from Destinations Development, STR and other respected travel industry research organizations show that people will want to travel by car on shorter trips to locations that are not crowded and have outdoor activities.
“When the time is right, our messaging will focus on our beautiful outdoors, family activities and our affordability,” Whitson said.

The thuja is still one of the most popular plants when it comes to creating a closed hedge. Although the thuja is also called the tree of life in German, it happens again and again that the plant unexpectedly and surprisingly turns brown. The possible causes behind this and the measures that promise a remedy are explained below.
Reasons for a brown thuja hedge and ways to remedy it
Why a tree of life turns brown can have different reasons. The most common causes are these and the following, briefly explained measures can be easily remedied:
The wintry brown color
The wild species of thuja in particular regularly change color from the well-known, rich green to brown and rust tones in winter. This discoloration is not a "fault" or a cause for concern, but is used by the plant to adapt to the extremely cold and dry winters of its native North America. Cultivated forms, on the other hand, are less brown in winter. Varieties such as "Smaragd", on the other hand, usually get through the cold season without any discoloration.
A remedy is neither possible nor necessary.
If the hedge begins to discolour at the tips of the branches close to the ground, road salt can be the cause. This gets, for example, from traffic areas running next to the hedge with the melted ice or snow into the ground, or sprayed directly onto the branches. The salt used to combat black ice leads to an excessive salt concentration in the soil and plants. Too much salt dehydrates the thuja so that the branches are damaged from the point of entry into the plant, i.e. from the roots.
- cut off affected branches
- Rinse plant to wash off salt
- Water the soil well to dilute the salt
The tree of life is damaged by over-fertilization in the same way as with road salt. In addition to other nutrients, blue grain in particular provides salts which, in excessive concentrations, can be dehydrating and cause considerable damage.
- remove brown shoots
- Collect any blue grain that has not yet dissolved
- Water the soil well to dilute the salts
In general, the Thuja is considered to be very susceptible to drought. However, the symptoms in the form of brown discolouration only appear with a considerable time lag, so that it is quite difficult to assign the cause if there is a lack of moisture. The lack of sufficient water comes into question above all when the soil is perceived as very dry on the one hand, but other causes also rule out.
- Water the soil thoroughly
- Apply bark mulch or similar to reduce soil drying out
The brown-black discolouration of the needles caused by acidic soil is mainly due to an oversupply of free manganese in the soil. More generally, the imbalance in the supply of nutrients caused by overacidification can be cited.
- Deacidification by adding carbonate of lime to the soil
- after deacidification, a balanced supply of nutrients is produced, for example through compost
Like all other plants, there are various diseases to which the tree of life is particularly susceptible. This includes, above all, the fungus Pestalotiopsis Funerea, which causes the so-called Pestalotia dieback. Shoots attacked by the fungus turn brown and die off completely after sufficient damage. Other diseases are, for example, also caused by a fungus Needle and dandruff tan.
Far more dangerous is the so-called Thuja root rot, which not only damages individual shoots but also the entire plant starting from the root and causes it to brown. Here, too, the cause can be found in a fungus, namely the Phytophthora cinnamomi.
- Cut back affected shoots or plant parts completely
- Control with suitable fungicides or sprays adapted to the pathogen
Other causes of brown spots, especially brown shoot tips, are insects. the vine weevil for example, the bark of the young shoots pierces and irreparably damages them until they turn brown and die. It is the same with the leaf miner, which - as its name suggests - bores tunnels into the plant and thus promotes discoloration by damaging the water-carrying pathways.
- Cut off and discard affected shoots
- use pesticides if necessary, but mostly unnecessary in the case of normal infestation and early detection and removal of the infested shoots
Prevent instead of fighting
Tips so that the tree of life does not turn brown in the first place
If the thuja hedge turns brown, the causes can usually be found out quite quickly with a little search and thought. With the countermeasures mentioned, at least the loss of entire plants can then also be avoided. However, it would be even better to take precautions from the outset so that no brown discoloration occurs in the first place. This is not possible for all causes, because fungal and insect infestation in particular can hardly be prevented. However, even with these causes, the resistance of the plants can be strengthened through good care and supply with water and nutrients. As a result, they can cope far better with external attacks and can often even deal with them on their own. According to the motto "help for self-help", a good and balanced supply of the thuja plants is the be-all and end-all of strong and resilient organisms that can make ends meet without the unwanted brown discoloration.

NASA’s Hubble Area Telescope, renowned for its fantastic photos of the cosmos, is acquiring some difficulty in orbit all-around Earth. On Friday, an critical mechanism on the spacecraft failed — just one that is required to re-orient the observatory in place and continue to keep it pointed at components of the sky for prolonged durations of time. Now, Hubble is in a harmless method although engineers try to tackle the issue.
The damaged mechanism on Hubble is a gyroscope, or a gyro. It’s a unit the many spacecraft use to alter their orientation in space. Gyros are basically wheels within the automobile that spin, shifting the posture of the spacecraft. It is a important tool that Hubble employs to improve its route and glance at diverse places of the Universe, in purchase to notice stars, exoplanets, supernovae, and extra.
Hubble, which launched in 1990, was initially designed with six gyros, and the spacecraft requires at the very least three of them to work in buy to function proficiently. Over the a long time, Hubble’s gyros have operate into issues and a lot of have failed. At just one level in 1999, so a lot of were being inoperable that the telescope could not carry out science observations for a several weeks. But all through the Room Shuttle method, astronaut crews had been equipped to take a look at Hubble periodically and exchange the gyros. The previous Hubble servicing mission transpired in May perhaps 2009, in the course of which all six of the gyros were replaced.
Before the Friday failure, Hubble nevertheless experienced four gyros operating, NASA verified to The Verge. But right after this most current one particular quit, the Hubble staff has been attempting to bring 1 of the four again on the internet, which had been off for a although, according to a collection of tweets from Rachel Osten, the deputy mission head for Hubble at the Room Telescope Science Institute. Having said that, this other gyro is proving “problematic,” she says. If it just cannot appear back on-line, that suggests Hubble is down to just two functioning gyros. It is not suitable.
It is not a hard decision, @astrogrant: the strategy has always been to fall to 1-gyro method when two continue being. There is not much change concerning 2- and 1, and it buys plenty of excess observing time. Which the Astro group would like desperately.
— Dr. Rachel Osten (@rachelosten) October 8, 2018
The situation isn’t bring about for despair just yet. Earlier, Hubble engineers figured out a way to run the spacecraft with only two gyros in an hard work to prolong Hubble’s life span. Furthermore, NASA promises that the Hubble staff had anticipated this specific gyro to fall short for about a 12 months. If the problematic gyro doesn’t occur back online, the engineers have a system that will permit the Hubble to operate with as several as one particular gyro. She argues there isn’t considerably big difference between functioning with two gyros and with one particular gyro equally modes can however let astronomers to observe the sky and do beneficial science function.
Finally, obtaining that gyro up and managing would be the finest-circumstance state of affairs right here. And time is crucial, simply because Hubble can’t do any science although in secure mode. For the duration of this time, all of the spacecraft’s instruments are shut down, although only the most vital devices needed to keep the automobile working remain on.
To restore Hubble you need a experienced maintenance crew in a mid substantial LEO with a spacecraft that has two months + flight duration, a lot of resource stowage, an airlock, a robotic arm. We utilised to have some of individuals but none now or on the horizon. #saveHST
— Wayne Hale (@waynehale) October 8, 2018
Nevertheless, it’s not rather the stop for Hubble just nevertheless. This spacecraft has prevail over even worse cases in the earlier when the observatory very first launched, engineers quickly understood that the spacecraft’s key mirror had a flaw that prevented the telescope from having the sharp pictures it was intended to capture. Though the mirror was finally changed, for 3 a long time Hubble was not able to seize the sharp, incredible photos that it’s now acknowledged for.
it is not very the close for Hubble just but
Today, there are not any options to switch unsuccessful hardware on Hubble. The telescope was developed to be serviced by crews on the Room Shuttle, and there aren’t any vehicles at present offered that could bring astronauts to the observatory and correct it in orbit. Some have deemed sending robotic spacecraft to services Hubble, but none have panned out, with some plans established unfeasible. Last 12 months, The Wall Avenue Journal described that the Trump administration was contemplating a plan to mail a crew to Hubble on a business spacecraft named Aspiration Chaser being designed by the Sierra Nevada Corporation. Nevertheless, this kind of a flight has not been officially acknowledged and there hasn’t been any update due to the fact the authentic WSJ report.
Unless of course a concrete program is manufactured to deliver a new spacecraft to Hubble to deal with it, the telescope will ultimately turn into inoperable if all of its gyroscopes fall short. And even if they continue being lively, Hubble is coming down at some point. The telescope orbits superior up, all-around 350 miles up, but its path decays about time many thanks to tiny particles from the Earth’s higher ambiance that bombard the spacecraft and drag it down towards our earth. Furthermore, Hubble doesn’t have any onboard thrusters possibly, so it can not increase itself to a increased orbit. Most designs clearly show Hubble coming again to Earth in a natural way in the 2030s, according to Area.com. It is a tad concerning given that its major mirror could survive re-entry, though most of it will most likely melt away up harmlessly.

But fairly than allow it slide on its personal, NASA does have the possibility to guideline Hubble’s descent to a secure space more than Earth — probably over the ocean. Through the past Hubble servicing mission, astronauts mounted a system on the spacecraft that could enable long term motor vehicles — crewed or uncrewed — to meet up with the telescope and dock with it. These automobiles could then perhaps drag Hubble out of orbit, sending it on a fiery dive by Earth’s environment where by it does not have the likelihood of harming anyone. No strategies have been produced for this de-orbit, having said that.
As Hubble nears the end of its lifetime, NASA is functioning to get the telescope’s successor into area. In 2021, the place agency strategies to launch a new large observatory called the James Webb Room Telescope. Whilst the spacecraft has run into several delays and price tag overruns, the JWST will be even a lot more highly effective than Hubble when it launches, able of observing galaxies and stars that shaped shortly after the Large Bang. On the other hand, JWST will sit about 1 million miles from Earth and there are no programs to service the telescope when it is in space. If something breaks on JWST, engineers will require to take care of it from Earth (if possible).
In the meantime, Hubble still must have some useful observational time still left. The telescope is acknowledged for lots of groundbreaking discoveries. It’s helped astronomers figure out just how rapidly our Universe is increasing, and it’s captured images of planets outside our Solar Procedure. With any luck ,, there is still pretty a little bit much more science to appear from Hubble, when it exits protected mode.

Hartington residents launch crackdown on litter and dog fouling over growing public health concerns
Hartington residents have launched a campaign to tackle growing issues with litter and dog fouling in the village.
A community volunteer group is raising serious concerns about the risks to human and animal health from people failing to dispose of their waste properly.
During a recent litter pick, teams filled 14 sacks in 24 hours from just one stretch of the B5054, which runs from the A515 Buxton to Ashbourne Road.
Spokesman Keith Quine said: “While much of the litter is historical, sadly there is plenty of evidence of recent littering. The vast bulk of rubbish is discarded drink cans, plastic bottles and crisp packets, though a mobile phone, fire extinguisher, two right foot walking boots, many broken bottles, discarded tyres and other vehicle parts were also collected.
“There is rightly concern amongst the community that once lockdown is lifted, the village will see a surge in visitor numbers, like it experienced in-between restrictions last year, and that sadly this will be an ongoing issue. We are politely pleading with people to please think about the countryside and the residents who live there during their next visit, and to take their litter home.”
In response, the group has erected emotive signs along the roadside. One asks: “Why are you tossing your litter around here?” Others respond with “I’m lazy, I don’t care about the community, I think other people should pay to clean up after me.
The verges the B5054 – the main thoroughfare through the village – bore the greatest concentration of litter, but surrounding roads near popular walking routes including Leisure Lane, Reynards Lane and Long Dale were also unpleasant have also been badly affected.
Keith said: “Apart from the litter and dog faeces detracting from the appearance of our environment, there is a significant health hazard to both domestic and wild animals as well as to children.
“Dog mess can lead to parvo, a potentially fatal disease transferred between dogs, and toxocariasis in humans, which can result in seizures, stomach upsets, sore throats, breathing difficulties such as asthma, and even permanent blindness.”
“In these confusing and worrying times, local journalism is more vital than ever. Thanks to everyone who helps us ask the questions that matter by taking out a subscription or buying a paper. We stand together.” – Louise Cooper, editor.

Thermal nanotherapies as magnetic hyperthermia (MHT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) are two promising emergent treatments and non–invasive approaches for tumor ablation, where localized heat generation is mediated by magnetic and photo-activatable nanomaterials. Until very recently, these thermal nanotherapies, have been developed separately: MHT is mainly focused on the use of magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles due to their excellent biodegradability, while metallic nanoparticles such as gold nanomaterials are often preferred due to their strong absorption cross sections. They have recently begun to intersect due to the recent discovery and use of photothermal properties of iron oxide nanostructures or to the use of magneto-photothermal hybrids, which efficiently combine both heating features in one-single object.
A comprehensive comparison of the heating efficiency of magneto- versus photo-thermal effect is presented, where different magnetic nanoparticles have been confronted (iron oxides, cobalt ferrite, spheres, cubes, flowers) with different metallic nanoparticles in aqueous, cellular, and tumoral environment. Intracellular processing markedly impacted MHT, while endosomal sequestration could have a positive effect for PTT. In the search for the most therapeutically viable modality, the effect of nanoparticle concentration and the experimental exposure parameters (magnetic field strengths/frequencies and laser power densities) have been investigated. The intracellular biotransformations of these nanomaterials in the biological environment has also been explored through the study of their physical and chemical modifications at the nanoscale over the time.

There are two Neighbourhood Plans for Bishop's Stortford because it was felt that it would be too much to cover the whole town in one go.
All Saints, Central, South and part of Thorley
This second Neighbourhood Plan covering All Saints, Central and South Wards and a part of Thorley Parish gained a 78% vote in favour in the referendum held on 7th September 2017. There is one more formal step to the process before it becomes officially part of the develpment plan for the area but it is now obligatory to take account of it when planning applications are considered
Silverleys and Meads
The first Neighbourhood Plan for Silverleys and Meads went to referendum on 19th March 2015 where it was approved by nearly 93% of those who voted. It now has statutory force and carries equal weight to the East Herts Local Plan.
Why have a Neighbourhood Plan?
A neighbourhood plan is a LEGALLY BINDING document that governs new development and becomes as important as documents created by East Herts District Council.
The Bishop's Stortford Neighbourhood Plans aim to…
IMPROVE the quality of new HOMES
PROTECT the town’s OPEN SPACES
REDUCE traffic CONGESTION
ENCOURAGE new SCHOOLS
HELP fund GP PRACTICES
INCREASE opportunities for SPORT
SUPPORT local RETAIL & BUSINESS
The plans DO NOT advocate large scale housing development. They seek to IMPROVE any development that does occur.
The Neighbourhood Plan gives YOU a say on building in YOUR community and is created FOR Bishop’s Stortford BY Stortford people

Finally got back to cutting yesterday, worked up some oak where I need to build some fence.
Helpful Sponsor Ads!
Having hydraulics to lift log for cutting must be nice
Damn....Yours is bigger than mine
Love the grapple!
Yep, keeps the log and saw out of the dirt and is easier on the back.
They sure are handy, don't know why we didn't have it years ago.
That would be nice cutting
Man that would be nice ! Nice Job.

Firefighters responded to calls of smoke and flames at an apartment building Monday morning at 9021 35th Ave. SW. People were already out of the building by the time fire crews arrived on the scene, officials said.
The fire was quickly knocked out. Firefighters went door to door to make sure everyone was out of the building, and people had to wait inside a nearby library before being let back in. Fire crews spent more than an hour airing out the building of smoke and to get the CO2 levels down.
One resident says the fire started right below her apartment.
“The fire alarm went off so we checked to see if it was the intercom,” the resident said. “We thought someone was at the door and then we checked out the window and there was fire going out the window, so we opened the door to get and there was just a cloud of smoke in the hallway and then when you went down the stairs. It was, just, like intense.”
The fire is under investigation. No word yet on the cost of the damage.


NBA superstar Carmelo Anthony (NYK) was the center of attention this week for launch party of his new kicks the Jordan Melo8 this past Thursday night at pier 54 in NYC. Melo kept it basic for the night in a solid tee donned by a fierce biker style leather jacket. I love the biker style jacket appeal, it adds that cool edgy look to any ensemble. If your searching for the right leather jacket for the fall season, I recommend going with the biker style.
Carmelo and Rapper Nas presented the Melo8 sneakers to the media,what do you think??.

Report cover image by Sophia Spring
Patricia has lived in the UK since 2006. She has two children, aged seven and five. She has separated from the children’s father, who was violent and abusive. Patricia has an outstanding appeal to remain in the UK and in the meantime, she is not allowed to work or to claim benefits.
In April 2014 Patricia and her children were housed in a building that was split into five ‘flats’ inhabited by around 50 people. Patricia shared her ‘flat’ with a family of six and a single man who screamed day and night, banged on the walls and left the bathroom in a filthy state. To make sure they could wash safely, she got the children up at 4am.
When the toilet was blocked, the family had to urinate in a pot and defecate in a plastic bag. On one occasion this continued for a month. When it rained, water leaked through the roof into their room. There was mould on the walls around the beds, exacerbating the children’s asthma.
According to a new report, Patricia’s is not an isolated case. It says many destitute children in London are being housed in damp, overcrowded, vermin-infested buildings, sometimes with violent neighbours.
‘A Place to Call Home: a report into the standard of housing provided to children in need in London’, (published today) examines the standard of accommodation and level of support provided to the children of destitute migrant families.
Some of the parents in these families are awaiting the outcome of an immigration application which would entitle them to work and claim mainstream welfare benefits. Others have been granted leave to remain but are denied any recourse to public funds.
Migrant families are often at the bottom of the heap when it comes to housing. British families can claim welfare and housing benefits, but even if the children in migrant families have British citizenship, they cannot claim benefits until they are 16 years old.
Under Section 17 of the Children Act 1989, children living in the UK should have their basic needs met, including the provision of accommodation. Section 17 is a lifeline for children who would otherwise have nothing.
Shelter’s principal solicitor John Gallagher says the report “makes clear that many children in the UK are missing out on this protection and as a result are suffering deprivation and misery”. He says the report’s finding “are an indictment of a system which claims to promote and safeguard the welfare of children, but which too often fails them when they are lacking the basic necessities of life.”
Around two thirds of the properties were found to be inadequate and three quarters of those had either no or limited cooking, heating and washing facilities. Some were damp and mouldy and had infestations of rats, mice, cockroaches or bedbugs.
Some families were housed far away from the area they knew, so that the children had to change schools, sometimes several times, leaving friends and familiar surroundings.
More than half of the properties deemed inadequate were overcrowded. Parents and children had to share rooms, and sometimes beds with children as old as 12. One family in a hostel shared a single kitchen with 50 other residents. Many of the children featured in the report lacked privacy and had nowhere to play or do their homework.
In theory, Section 17 support is a temporary measure. In practice, however, some families spend years supported under the provision. Of the families surveyed, 40% had been in the same accommodation for six months, 84% for more than a month and 17% for over a year.
Access to cooking facilities is particularly important to families relying on food banks as they cannot afford ready-made meals. One woman featured in the report, who lived with her 11-year-old son, was reduced to boiling eggs in a kettle in her room.
Families were often exposed to potentially dangerous situations.
One mother and four children were placed in a room in a homeless hostel immediately next to a man with alcoholism who regularly left vomit and blood in the bathroom.
Another woman’s daughter became ill from eating food contaminated by leaking toilet water and had to be taken to hospital in an ambulance.
There are currently no procedures in place to prevent a family from being placed in accommodation with a person who has a violent criminal record. Some of the families in the report had to share with aggressive men and there were cases of sexual assault.
Around half the families surveyed were housed in B&Bs. According to government statistics, 2,570 families in England were living in B&Bs in March 2015. Of those, 920 families had lived there for more than six weeks. However under homelessness law, B&B accommodation is deemed unsuitable for families with children and pregnant women.
One 13-year-old boy lived with his mother who had multiple health problems and suffered from depression. He sent a message to his caseworker saying “My mother is crying. I don’t know what to do. We’re sleeping in the hotel, the room is quite small, no shower, no toilet, no kitchen, no breakfast, just one room with lots of stuff, this is harder than last time. My mum is getting weak”.
The study found that local authorities are neglecting to use the power available to them either to ensure basic standards are met or to force landlords to rectify problems.
One family support worker described a case where a woman was bathing her children when a large chunk of the bedroom roof fell in. The landlord failed to act and she was unable to get through to her local authority. She and the children had to live amongst rubble and dust for days before they were eventually moved.
So why are some local authorities failing in their duty to provide for these families? The report says there is little guidance on how to assess eligibility for support or how much support to provide. Cuts in funding from central government have added to the pressure. And although many of the families are legally entitled to remain in the country, they may be seen as ‘undeserving’.
The report concludes that children’s services are failing children who should be protected from harm. It says the poor state of their accommodation is affecting their health, their development and their life chances and it calls for an urgent review into the accommodation and support provided to these families.
The families who feature in this report may have experienced traumas in their countries of origin, compounded by abusive relationships or homelessness. Some of the children have had to move from house to house and school to school, while living with fragile mothers who may suffer from depression.
A home is more than bricks and mortar. It provides a sense of security, of identity and well-being. These children, left to cope with appalling living conditions and unbearable levels of stress, are being failed by local authorities that have a duty to protect them.
‘A Place to Call Home: a report into the standard of housing provided to children in need in London’ by Charlotte Threipland was published by the Hackney Community Law Centre and Hackney Migrant Centre.

Exactly nine years ago, on May 22, 2010, crypto enthusist Laszlo Heinitz made his name in the history of Bitcoin, for the first time paying for the delivery of a pizza cryptocurrency. The order cost him 10,000 BTC.
Today, this purchase is estimated at $ 79.2 million.
The #Bitcoin pizza is worth $79,253,225 today. (+0.91% from yesterday) Today is Bitcoin pizza day!
— Bitcoin Pizza 🍕 (@bitcoin_pizza) May 22, 2019
In an interview with the 60 Minutes, Heinitz said that he had spent a total of about 100,000 BTC on buying pizzas.
Traditionally, on May 22, the crypto community celebrates Bitcoin Pizza Day.
“Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day you all!!! Some necessary clarification: it’s ok to spend sats on pizza, IF you spend the fiat you would otherwise spend for pizza to buy sats instead; it’s ok for carnivore Bitcoin toximalists to eat pizza during the Pizza Day, just imagine you killed that pizza with your hands after a hectic hunt!” wrote the famous Bitcoin evangelist Giacomo Zucco.
Recall, in February 2018, Laszlo Heinitz made the same experiment, ordering two pizzas for 0.00649 BTC using the Lightning Network protocol.

Is Nvidia really about to add to its lineup of top GPUs? All signs point to yes, and now, we have an official Nvidia keynote on the horizon that tells us when we might hear more about the rumored RTX 40 Super. Nvidia revealed that it’s going to deliver a special address on January 8 as part of CES 2024. Although the company hasn’t confirmed what it’s planning to cover, the rumor mill has been buzzing with information about three new desktop GPUs. But will they really be worth the upgrade?
Several reputable leakers have weighed in on the matter of the RTX 40-series refresh, and we’ve been getting updates about the range for a few weeks now. Nvidia doesn’t need to specifically state that it’ll talk about these graphics cards, as that is going to be the expectation anyway. The three GPUs in question are the RTX 4080 Super, RTX 4070 Ti Super, and the RTX 4070 Super.
During its previous keynote at CES 2023, Nvidia talked about the RTX 40 laptop range but also unveiled the RTX 4070 Ti — formerly known as the RTX 4080 12GB. This year, as shared by VideoCardz, it’s likely that we’ll hear about all three new desktop GPUs, but some updates regarding AI are also possible. Although Nvidia might announce all three graphics cards at once, we don’t know whether all three will hit the market simultaneously. Leaks point to the first quarter of the year for all three, though.
Initially, it seemed like Nvidia might deliver a sizeable upgrade with the RTX 40-series refresh. Sources claimed that Nvidia might shake things up, upgrading the RTX 4080 Super to the AD102 GPU (which is the flagship chip found in the RTX 4090). The RTX 4070 Super was said to be getting upgraded to the AD103 chip, which is currently utilized by the RTX 4080. These changes would unlock far more cores, an increase in VRAM, and a larger memory bus for both cards.
However, it’s best not to put much stock in these assumptions. Other leaks suggest that the RTX 40 refresh will be a minor upgrade, with all cards sticking to their respective chips and maxing out the remaining core counts. Some rumors pin the RTX 4080 Super as featuring 10,240 CUDA cores and 16GB of GDDR6X memory across a 256-bit bus. The RTX 4070 Ti Super is said to sport 8,448 CUDA cores and 16GB VRAM, while the RTX 4070 Super might have 7,168 cores and 12GB VRAM.
Those specs mark an increase over the non-Super cards, but not a massive one. The RTX 4070 Ti Super (as a side note, that name’s always going to be a mouthful) would see the greatest boost thanks to the jump from 12GB to 16GB VRAM, while the core count boosts are mostly minor.
Regardless of the specs, the RTX 40 Super lineup might serve one important purpose — it should help the prices of some GPUs go down. Nvidia’s pricing has been on a worrying upward trend, which doesn’t bode well for the next generation of GPUs. If we can see the existing RTX 4070, RTX 4070 Ti, and the RTX 4080 drop in price thanks to the refresh, that alone will be a good thing.
We’ll be covering CES 2024 live as it happens, so stay tuned to make sure you don’t miss Nvidia’s announcement.
- Nvidia’s next GPU might follow Apple’s lead — and not in a good way
- Nvidia RTX 4090 prices are skyrocketing as stocks run seriously low
- Nvidia’s RTX Super might be a massive boost at no extra cost
- Why AMD’s biggest competitor is no longer Nvidia
- AMD has another new GPU that it says can beat the RTX 4060 Ti

Even older RTX 4090s aren’t safe from melting connector
It’s no news that the power connector on one of Nvidia’s best graphics cards may sometimes melt, and yet, this is still new. Typically, the 12VHPWR connector found in the RTX 4090 would either melt quickly or not at all. Bad news for those who thought they were out of the woods and safe from the problem — it appears that the RTX 4090 can still melt after a year of usage.
Will the saga of RTX 4090 melting connectors never end? It seems not. When the card was initially launched a year ago, the reports of melting cables at the GPU side started cropping up, but then, slowly died down. Now, however, Byogore on Reddit posted a photo of a melted connector on the PCMR subreddit. After working fine for a year, the user started experiencing issues and noticed that the connector had melted.
There’s only one use for an RTX 4080 Ti, and it’s not what you think
According to the latest round of leaks, Nvidia may be readying an RTX 4080 Ti, set to come out in the first few months of 2024. While such a GPU would definitely rank high among the best graphics cards, it’s not exactly necessary right now — there are plenty of high-end GPUs floating around. There is one reason I would like to see an RTX 4080 Ti, though; to push down the price of the RTX 4080.
MEGAsizeGPU, who is a frequent speculator in the graphics card space, shared over the weekend that an RTX 4080 Super, or maybe Ti, will come out in just a few months. Given Nvidia’s current naming convention in this generation, a Ti card seems more likely. As per MEGAsizeGPU, the card will be based on Nvidia’s flagship AD102 chip and will have a power consumption below 450 watts. The other specs are a mystery, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Nvidia added some more VRAM to the card — 20GB seems likely. The bump from AD103 to AD102 should also deliver a decent upgrade in CUDA core counts — dare I say in the 12,000 to 13,000 range?
The worst GPUs of all time: loud, disappointing, uninspired
When you look at some of the best graphics cards of today, it’s easy to forget that Nvidia and AMD (and more recently, Intel) weren’t always the only players in the GPU game. While both AMD and Nvidia have committed their fair share of GPU blunders, they’re not the only two brands behind some of the worst GPUs of all time.
Let’s take a look at some of the graphics cards that will make you appreciate the current GPU landscape, and yes, even including cards that are borderline mistakes. (Hello, RTX 4060 Ti.) Here are the GPUs that did it terribly, terribly wrong, even though each had something interesting or innovative to bring to the table.

412-7 Validation and Inversion of a Carbon Net Ecosystem Exchange Model for Croplands.
Poster Number 302
We report the coupling of a one-dimensional soil water, heat and CO2 flux model (SOILCO2) with a pool concept of soil carbon turnover (RothC) and with a crop growth module (SUCROS) for the prediction of carbon net ecosystem exchange (NEE). The coupled model, further referred to as AgroC, was extended with routines for managed grassland as well as for root exudation and root death.
In a first step the coupled model was applied to two winter wheat sites and an upland grassland in Germany. The models were validated in terms of soil water content, soil temperature, soil CO2 concentration, soil respiration, leaf area index, aboveground biomass and NEE measured with the Eddy covariance method. The overall model performance of AgroC was acceptable. Accounting for root exudation and root death improved model performance, which was tested with a dataset providing measured root and heterotrophic respiration.
In the second step the models were inverted and the effect of using either NEE measurements only or the combination of measured soil respiration and NEE was investigated. The estimated yearly carbon balance showed a distinct sensitivity towards the inclusion of soil respiration data in the inversion process. This was mainly attributed to the characteristics of the NEE measurements.

The Chinese are in a hurry to book their trips, more so than most. No other nation makes more frequent use of smartphones and tablets to make travel reservations than China. Speaking at the 21st World Travel Monitor® Forum in Pisa, Rolf Freitag, president of the tourism consultancy IPK International, noted that, at four per cent, China tops the list when it comes to booking international trips with smartphones and tablets.
At two per cent each, the USA and Japan follow in the rankings, but no other country reaches more than 1 per cent. Worldwide, the Chinese are also ahead when it comes to using social media for travel information and are the world’s most avid users of Facebook, Skype, forums, blogs and other sites on the subject of international travel.
According to the latest survey, 95 per cent of those polled in China said they made use of Skype, blogs and Facebook when preparing for trips.
Europe, by contrast, lags some distance behind. 39 per cent of European respondents said they made no use whatsoever of social media for making travel arrangements. In Japan 48 per cent of those polled made no use of social media, while in the USA 35 per cent declared their ”abstinence“.
By contrast, Brazilians showed a keen interest in Facebook and other social networking sites. 24 per cent of those polled said they made frequent use of social media for researching trips, while 60 per cent said they made sporadic use of blogs, travel forums and Facebook.

Types of Computer Crimes
Characteristically, computer crime can be classified by the kind of activity which happens. Four elementary classes are exploited in relating to computer crime. These include theft, fraud, copyright violation, and attacks.
Theft in computer crime designates either illegal confiscation of physical items like hardware or illegal deletion copying of data or information from a computer system.
Fraud on the Internet operates on the gamut from credit card presents which are exploited only to take personal information, to stockholder placements which stimulate a stock or asset offer to inspire investment.
- Copyright violation
The Internet has presented an exclusive chance and environment for copyright violation. This kind of computer crime involves the use of software, which is not suitably attained or bought.
- Attacks on firms and individuals
Attacks on firms’ management information systems may be considered as being physical or logical. There are numerous circumstances where web sites, produces, and individuals being attacked by dangerous personalities or assemblies.
Information Systems and Technology Weaknesses
There are numerous categories of activities which may also impair information systems and associate technology. These deeds may lead to criminal charges relying on the situations and impact on information systems. Presently, these accomplishments fall inside the categories of viruses, worms, Trojan Horse, time bomb, logic bomb, and trapdoors.
A virus refers to a program with aim to harm or make a computer organization unusable. The virus technique of attack is to embed itself to particular files like data files.
Worms are another critical program fashioned to create variability information systems and associate technology. Worms vary from viruses because a worm is an unrestricted operating program.
- Trojan Horse
This software program obtains its nomenclature from the Greek mythos portraying war action between the Greeks and Trojans of Troy. Normally, a Trojan Horse does something damaging whereas the person at the computer keyboard imagines they are downloading or copying a simulation or some other proper file. The Trojan Horse frequently loads a software application to be used in a later Denial of Service attack and decrypts ones access codes, credit card numbers that are stored within their computer system
- Time bomb
This refers to software bouts that are intended to happen at a programmed time or date. The dissimilarity between a time bomb and a virus is that theoretically the time bomb does not extend.
- Logic bomb
Logic bombs refers to software invasions that activated by a programmed occurrence. The most corporate logic bombs happen when IT personnel are decommissioned from service.
Trapdoors refer to system appearances that evade safety system. These are concealed logins or executive user descriptions added by system designers for devious motives.
The biggest challenge in the cybercrime investigation is to apprehend the criminal investigation is to understand the criminal offence and secondary to substantiate it. Moreover, real time co-operation and accepting of legal issues offers another challenge to computer crime investigation.
In conclusion, computer crime risks management can be achieved in information systems settings. Security is a misapprehension as any computer system can be invaded and greatly attacked under the right situations. Consequently, the paramount hazard is to be complacent with such computer crimes in any setting.

How does Pyruvate work?
Pyruvate might contribute to weight loss by increasing the breakdown of fat.
Are there safety concerns?
Pyruvate seems to be safe when taken by mouth. Side effects such as stomach upset, gas, bloating, and diarrhea
can occur when large amounts are taken.
Pyruvic acid facial peels seem to be safe when applied by a health professional. It can cause severe skin burning and should be applied only to small patches of skin at a time.
Do not use pyruvate if:
- You are pregnant or breast-feeding.
- You have a heart condition called cardiomyopathy.
Dosing considerations for Pyruvate.
The following doses have been studied in scientific research:
APPLIED TO THE SKIN
- For aging skin: A 50% pyruvic acid peel applied once weekly for 4 weeks.

Success is NOT accidental- I think a lot about things like dreams and aspirations and strange concepts such as "success. What aspirations are worthy of pursuit? Sometimes our dreams go undiscovered. They are undiscovered due to not knowing how to find them.
They are undiscovered because we don't seek them due to the influences of others or our own critical selves. Sometimes they frighten us, and we avoid them. Sometimes we just never think about dreams, and don't even look. I recently watched a videokind of a documentary.
As a kid I fell in love with magic, the performing art. Like most kids, I learned a few tricks. Unlike most adults, I have kept it up, a bit.
I have recently dusted off my magic stuff and practiced a bit. It is fun, and I might just find a way to make a few bucks with this in my retirement.
These kids are good. The documentary is valuable in documenting their aspirations and the effort it takes to be really good at anything. These kids sacrificed their time, focused on their art, and they practiced. They practiced a lot.
The art of magic is a fringe art. It is geeky and awkward, even among other performing arts. These are ubergeeks, these young people. Their devotion is amazing, especially to someone like myself who never really aspired to be the best at anything.
I never acquired the passion and the focus.
I have achieved successes in my life, but I never went for the gold like these kids. I relate to this documentary because magic was one of my interests in my youth, and has been an interest through most of my life.
I have some idea just how much these young artists had to work to get where they did. Not a group noted for their dreams and aspirations bearing such fruit. Only one among the competitors becomes the best in the world, but they are all huge winners.
Aspiration and achievement, even if they don't all grab the brass ring. Watching something like this always leaves me with mixed feelings.Cupboards ( Cupboards Book 1) (The Cupboards) and millions of other books are available for instant timberdesignmag.com | Audible.

Behind the scenes: How India’s relentless push ensured Masood Azhar was banned
New Delhi, May 02: It began in 2009 and the closure came in 2019. India had first moved a proposal to designate Maulana Masood Azhar as a terrorist before the United Nations in 2009.
The move was blocked by China. The next time India made such a move was in the year 2016. A year later the P3 nations made a similar proposal, but the Chinese block continued.
It was in February 2019 that the US, UK and France moved a proposal in the UNSC. In March China put the proposal on hold. On March 28, the US supported by France and UK directly moved a draft resolution in the UNSC. A month later, China said that there has been some progress on the issue and on May 1 the hold was lifted and Azhar was declared a global terrorist.
India was relentless in its efforts and getting China to lift its hold especially in the wake of it considering Pakistan an all weather friend was not easy. The talks were led on various levels and officials of the PMO, Home Ministry and the Ministry for External Affairs were all involved in it.
India constantly engaged with the US, UK and France to get the ban imposed. On March 21, there was a clear ray of hope when the UNSC condemned the Pulwama attack. This was the first time that the UNSC had condemned a terror attack in Kashmir on security personnel.
What furthered India's cause was the mention of the Jaish-e-Mohammad in its statement. This gave India and the rest of the nations the required impetus to push the case further.
Further India also managed to get the US to exert immense pressure on China.
While China had put the technical hold for a period of six months, Delhi continued to pursue the issue. It was confident that the nations it was speaking with too would pressurise China to lift the hold. This led to the US moving a fresh proposal, without deciding to wait for the six month period.
One of the key player in this entire issue was foreign secretary Vijay Gokhale. He visited the US, Moscow and Beijing to discuss the issue. He was finally able to convince these nations including China that putting the issue on hold would not serve any purpose.
Sources tell OneIndia that it was the relentless push which finally ended in this decision.

Video game developer Activision Blizzard (ATVI) said today its first-quarter earnings and revenues hit an all-time high helped by strong performance of Call of Duty, its blockbuster game franchise. The results contrasted with market speculations that the company is losing audience to the growing popularity of Epic Games’ multiplayer survival game Fortnite.
Activision’s adjusted earnings rose 8% annually to $0.78 per share, far exceeding expectations. At $0.65 per share, reported earnings were 16% higher compared to last year.
Driving the bottom-line growth, revenues climbed 14% to $1.97 billion. Digital online channels, which account for nearly two thirds of the company’s revenues, expanded 6% to $1.46 billion, while retail channel revenues surged 51% to $409 million. Operating cash flow jumped 29% to $529 million, hitting an all-time high.
“Our continued ability to set new records speaks to the quality of our teams and the breadth and enduring nature of our portfolio of franchises against the backdrop of a large and growing interactive market. As we look ahead, our innovative core gaming pipeline, as well as initiatives like mobile, esports, and advertising, will continue to drive growth for our business,” said Activision CEO Bobby Kotick.
Net booking, which refers to the volume of products and services sold, moved up 15% to $1.38 billion, with both the King and Blizzard segments registering robust growth. At the end of the quarter, the Santa Monica, California-based company had 374 million monthly active users, led by its popular first-person shooting game Call of Duty.
Buoyed by the upbeat results, the company slightly upgraded its full-year 2018 revenue outlook to $7.36 billion, and adjusted earnings guidance to $2.46 per share. Reported earnings for the year are currently estimated to be $1.79 per share. For the second quarter, Activision is currently looking for revenues of $1.56 billion, and adjusted earnings of $0.46 per share. The revised forecast for reported earnings is $0.26 per share.
Trading in Activision shares was briefly halted Thursday afternoon after Dow Jones inadvertently published the earnings results before the official announcement. Consequently, the company released the results ahead on schedule, while the stock resumed trading. The stock, which lost over 15% since mid-March, witnessed some volatility in the later part of the session and ended trading down 2.30%.
Among Activision’s competitors, Electronic Arts (EA) is scheduled to release its fourth-quarter results on May 8, while Take-Two Interactive (TTWO) will be publishing results on May 16.

Phish Performs ‘Bathtub Gin’ At Madison Square Garden: Pro-Shot Video
Phish released pro-shot video of “Bathtub Gin” from their second set on December 29 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The nearly 16-minute “Gin” was the third song of the frame and featured stellar improvisation.
Here’s a description of the “Bathtub Gin” from JamBase’s coverage of the show:
While “BOTT” was uneventful, the “Bathtub Gin” that followed most certainly was not. Phish patiently built up the jam for a few minutes before breaking through the normal progression into Type II territory. Anastasio landed on an anthemic progression and his band mates quickly fell in line to connect on a powerful groove akin to “After Midnight.” The quartet patiently worked over the groove and took turns leading the improvisation with Page’s organ solo a particular highlight. Around the 13-minute mark, Fishman took his foot off the gas and the band settled in on an ambient section that was more like “What’s The Use?” than “Bathtub Gin.” Trey threw in the main “Bathtub Gin” melody over the spacey groove and Phish concluded the must-hear version of the jam vehicle.
Watch Phish’s performance of “Bathtub Gin” from December 29 below:
