10 Tracks You Have To Hear This Week
Wu Lyf, Gwilym Gold, Com Truise
The ten best tracks rattling around our skulls this week
1. Wu Lyf – Dirt
First time we saw WU LYF, they were still playing shows in the dark and using their blogs to rip the piss out of anyone vaguely interested in them who they deemed a suit. Then, at last summer’s MIDI Festival in France, they revealed themselves to be nothing more than everything we initially hoped: four twentysomething Mancunian kids with a bunch of shit-hot songs and a rare desperation to rewrite rock’s current rulebook by not actually kissing every corporate arse possible.
Now, with mere weeks until the release of their self-recorded yet massive-sounding debut album, ‘Go Tell Fire To The Mountain’, they’re getting all tribal on us. ‘Dirt’ is as close to a manifesto as you’ll get from the band – a clarion call-to-arms that starts with 30 seconds of meaty, smack-in-the-mouth drums and ends with singer Ellery Roberts declaring, “No matter what they say, dollar is not your friend” in his bullish, almost incomprehensible drawl. This band, in case you really needed reminding, turned down every record deal under the sun last year. “World unite and I’ll love you forever”, they demand over and over as the song reaches a blistering climax. And you know what? That’s a fucking great piece of advice. Ignore WU LYF at your peril.
Matt Wilkinson, New Music Editor
2. Gwilym Gold – Flesh Freeze
GG’s debut solo single may chime with sacrosanct, chilling but luscious beds and beats, but his lyrics are a world of haunting doubt and disbelief in a greater purpose. And it’s being released in a format that produces infinite versions of the song; a fixed recording doesn’t exist. This is, quite possibly, the future.
Laura Snapes, Assistant Reviews Editor
3. Com Truise – Cathode Girls
In what sounds like an elegy to some forgotten ancient city, this track finds the self-proclaimed circuit melter Com Truise meshing together decades of Casiotone wizardry; a Jean Michel Jarre ocean of sound cut and pasted over a regurgitated Arthur Baker beat, to create this deeply resonating, cinematic delve into a world of possibilities.
Priya Elan, Assistant Editor, NME.COM
4. Ronika – Forget Yourself
Nottingham-based Ronika creates her ’80s-indebted electropop slithers of amazingness in her bedroom, with ‘Forget Yourself’ a brilliant amalgam of early Prince, ‘Me Plus One’-era Annie and an effortless, unstudied cool.
Michael Cragg, writer
5. Beirut – Santa Fe
With Beirut currently touring, new songs like this ode to the group’s hometown have been emerging. It’s a breezy mix of accordions, horns and Zach Condon’s floating vocals. Hopefully Beirut’s travels will reach a studio soon.
Paul Stokes, Associate Editor
6. Julian Casablancas – Rave On
One of many sparks of joy from a brilliant forthcoming Buddy Holly tribute, also featuring a sultry ‘Not Fade Away’ from Florence and a frankly terrifying ‘It’s So Easy’ from Macca, this is sexy, twangy and garage-loose.
Emily Mackay, Reviews Editor
7. The History Of Apple Pie – Tug
Delightful bliss-grunge which sounds like every Kill Rock Stars band ever. They’re from London, but may as well be from Portland, such is the slacker pouting insouciance going on here.
Martin Robinson, Deputy Editor
The History Of Apple Pie – Tug by lepunkbourgeois
8. PJ Harvey – Lonely Avenue
When covering songs as iconic as this Doc Pomus standard made famous by Ray Charles, it’s best to steer clear of the sincerest form of flattery and do your own thing, lest you sound stupid. A whispered lead vocal and some perfectly judged backing make this sound like Polly’s very own song.
Hamish MacBain, Assistant Editor
9. New Order – Hellbent
The uncaging of this previously unreleased tune on the 31st anniversary of their old Joy Division chum Ian Curtis’ death (May 18) was presumably a tribute rather than cynical marketing for their new compilation ‘Total: From Joy Division To New Order’…
Jamie Fullerton, News Editor
Hellbent – New Order by oldwaver
10. Bon Iver – Calgary
Fresh from stirring up Auto-Tuned hedonism with Kanye West, ‘Calgary’ is the first taster from the follow-up to 2007’s ‘For Emma, Forever Ago’. ‘Calgary’ finds Justin cooing “I was only trying to spell a loss” over funereal synths and austere bass, in a cathartic ode to love lost.

To protect your health, eliminate constipation is one of the smartest and most important decisions you have to take.
Dr. Bernard Jensen coined the phrase "Death begins in the colon" and warned that the accumulation of toxic waste in the colon may end up killing one person. He said that up to 95% of diseases originating in the colon.
To illustrate the problem of a dirty colon full of waste, the Dr.Jensen, said, imagine a plate of food left on the counter for two days at a temperature of 40 degrees (celsius)
By common sense, if you eat three meals, three times daily you must remove the waste. But how do you know if your colon is healthy or sick or in danger of becoming ill?. Ask yourself, how often defecates every day. If the answer is three times, you do not need any treatment. Congratulations.
But if only eliminates waste 2 or 1, or every other day, your health later or earlier will happen bill with one or more diseases.
A colon invaded by debris and organic compounds such as putrescine, phenol, butyric acid, indole, ammonia and 36 in total and saturated with almost 200 harmful bacteria to the originators body disease, will cause health problems from mild to chronic and up mortals.
Fermentation Technology Research and Nano Biotechnology indicate that Bacteremia and Toxemia, can lead to diseases such as:
Gastritis, diabetes, gout, asthma, Colitis, Hypertension, Migraine, stroke, gastric ulcer, insomnia, varicose veins, Depression, Skin Wilted, Acne, Hair loss, Fatigue, Cancer, Bad Breath, Indigestion, Obesity and better I do not follow because the list is long.
If you have 70 years, probably your intestines have processed about 40,000 liters of liquid and some 100 tons of food so it is reasonable to consider that up to 15 pounds of fecal waste accumulate in the stomach and poison the bloodstream originate numerous diseases.
But we're on time, if properly remove fecal deposits, intestinal parasites, mucus and other debris, we can prevent and even reverse many diseases and ailments caused by two great evils of our time: stress and constipation.
From now frontally fight against constipation by eating plenty of fiber, fruits, vegetables and plenty of water. If you know any method of bowel cleansing apply it consistently.
Or in any case follow a simple treatment, which according to many people gives excellent results.
Here, A TREATMENT
This treatment burns fat, regulates metabolism, reduces cholesterol and removes toxins.
It is replacing breakfast for three weeks with the following prepared:
First Week: 1 tablespoon daily flaxseed flour and 100 ml of kefir
Second week: 2 tablespoons daily flaxseed flour and 100 ml of kefir
Third Week: 3 tablespoons daily of flaxseed flour and 150 ml of kefir.
For 21 days should be consumed, replacing breakfast, flaxseed flour and kefir.
If in your town you can´t find flaxseed flour you can grind or pulverize the seeds of flax in blender.
IMPORTANT: Prepare and eat flaxseed every day, if you leave the ground for another day can become rancid. And consume plenty of water, at least two liters a day

The decade's most triggering comedy
The American medical establishment markets itself as a champion for all patients’ dignity and pretends to be an ally of marginalized women. But in its passionate support of abortion, in the very arguments it uses to justify that support, the medical establishment is actually upholding a destructive, defeatist, and racist philosophy.
In the wake of the Dobbs decision that removed federal abortion protections and returned power to the states to make their own abortion laws, the president of the American Medical Association published a statement condemning the Supreme Court decision as an immoral intrusion of government into the private affairs of patients and their physicians. In July of 2022, a few weeks after the Dobbs decision, the AMA published a follow-up article on their website, arguing that abortion bans would have dire effects on women’s overall health. In October of that same year, the New England Journal of Medicine published an article calling abortion access a racial justice issue. These publications from medical elites reveal a racist mentality and insidiously devalue human life, especially the lives of those facing genuine hardship.
In his statement, AMA President Jack Resneck called the Dobbs decision an “assault on reproductive health” and “safe medical practice.”
In one noteworthy section of his statement, the president asserted: “Access to legal reproductive care will be limited to those with the sufficient resources, circumstances, and financial means to do so—exacerbating health inequities by placing the heaviest burden on patients from Black, Latinx, Indigenous, low-income, rural and other historically disadvantaged communities that already face numerous structural and systemic barriers to accessing health care.”
In the AMA’s follow up article posted a couple weeks after Dr. Resneck gave his statement, AMA contributing news writer Tanya Albert Henry pointed to research conducted by University of California San Francisco faculty that suggests that women seeking abortions who are denied those abortions face worse health and economic outcomes than women not denied abortions. The San Francisco researchers conducted a five-year study of 956 women who wanted abortions, 231 of whom were prevented from getting abortions by state laws. While the study looked at multiple areas of life, including physical and mental health, Henry’s article placed much emphasis on the women’s economic situations. According to Henry, the study found that women who did not receive abortions were more likely to raise their children alone, “live in households that drop below the poverty level,” and “lack enough money to pay for food, housing and transportation.” Diana Greene Foster, the director of the research, said that “Access to abortion enables women to have children at a time when they have more resources – financial and emotional — to devote to their children.”
The heads of the AMA think they are promoting human rights and protecting their patients from injustice. But there’s just one problem. Ending a pregnancy ends a human life. Even if you reject the scientific fact that human life begins at fertilization, when an embryo with unique DNA is created, there is no denying that the pregnancy, without interference, will result in the birth of a new human being. With that indisputable fact in mind, the AMA’s pro-abortion arguments take on a morally ghoulish character.
President Resneck thinks it a travesty that “black, Latinx” and “low income”women cannot access abortion as easily with Roe reversed. Resneck believes the world would be a better place if fewer black, Latino, and poor children were born. For him, being black and living in poverty is such a hard, miserable existence with so much suffering involved that it would be better to be killed in the womb than to endure that horrible fate.
Diana Foster and the other University of California San Francisco researchers share President Resneck’s mindset when it comes to poverty. They think that if mothers struggle financially while trying to raise their children, resulting in those children not always having their needs met, it would be better for those children not to have a chance at life at all.
These medical experts believe so strongly that systematic oppression is embedded in this country and cannot be overcome. For them, racism is ubiquitous and unavoidable. Poverty is inescapable. Children who come from hard backgrounds can never rise above their past. Giving birth to them is dooming them to misery. The kind, humane thing to do is to cut their lives short. This thinking is hideous. Medical experts, who know abortion ends a life, should not be advocating for the termination of any woman’s pregnancy, no matter her race, no matter her situation. Every human being, from the moment of conception, deserves the same respect. Every human life, once created, has a right to exist. No matter how many studies they conduct, medical experts have no right to assert that black or brown children or children from poor families are any less capable of making a better future for themselves than any other children.
The authors who wrote the New England Journal of Medicine article linking abortion and racial justice make a different point, but it’s a point just as defeatist as the AMA’s arguments. They point out the high maternal mortality rate among black women and argue that abortion is safer for these women than carrying their babies to term. In other words, because there are parts of the country where certain black women do not have access to the potentially life-saving care they need during pregnancy, we need to ensure that they can abort their babies. Why is that the solution? Why not invest resources into researching and addressing the causes of pregnancy complications and maternal mortality among black women so that their lives and their babies’ lives can be saved?
The AMA and the New England Journal of Medicine are not wrong to point out the real hardships that many pregnant women face in this country. But their insistence that impoverished and marginalized women will be better off if they can abort their babies is racist and classist. These leading medical institutions should not be focusing an ounce of their energy on fighting the Dobbs decision. Instead, they should be working to improve maternal medicine so that pregnant women have better health outcomes.

In the lingo of Ornithology, a summer resident is a bird that breeds in your home region but leaves for warmer latitudes or lower elevations during the colder months of the year. Generally speaking, the summer resident arrives in spring, nests and raises its young and then departs in late summer or autumn for their winter range.
Here along the Colorado Front Range (and, indeed, in much of the country) tree swallows are among the first summer residents to arrive, often by mid March. Yesterday, while birding at South Platte Park, I encountered 13 of these agile birds, snaring insects above Redtail Lake. Since they nest in cavities, these small but aggressive insectivores compete with bluebirds, Prothonotary warblers and other species for those nest sites and, since they often out-compete bluebirds for man-made nest boxes, they are not always welcomed by some members of the birding community.
Then again, all swallow species consume a prodigious number of nuisance insects and anyone who lives near ponds or lakes is sure to appreciate their presence. After nesting and raising their young, tree swallows depart for the south before an autumn cold snap wipes out their prey; unlike most swallows, which winter in Central or South America, tree swallows are satisfied to stay along the Gulf Coast and thus get a head start for the spring migration.

The Ultimate Beatles Tribute
On January 15th, 2009, I attended a concert at McMahon Auditorium. The OKMusicShow presented Liverpool Legends, a group from Branson, Missouri. The members of the band are all musicians as well as actors. All members were hand-picked by Louise Harrison, sister of the late George Harrison of The Beatles, to recreate the band that changed the face of music forever.
The concert was set to begin at 7:30 p.m., with doors to open at 6:45 p.m. I arrived early to purchase a ticket at the box office because I had not reserved one in advance. While standing in line waiting for the doors to open, I briefly engaged in a conversation with an older gentleman about the weather and how cold it was. He had mentioned that his daughter was supposed to accompany him, but she had just started a new job and could not get the night off. He said that he still had the extra ticket and would be glad to sell it to me for $20.00. I accepted his offer and was surprised to get such a good seat.
After taking my seat, which was in Row E, Seat 5, I took a few notes of my observations of the stage and especially that of the crowd. For the most part, it was an older crowd; I would say the generation that grew up listening to The Beatles. The auditorium seats filled quickly, and as the lights dimmed, the curtains raised and the show began at 7:30 p.m. The Liverpool Legends took the stage wearing black suits and ties opening up the show with the song “I Want to Hold Your Hand”. The crowd didn’t have one problem singing along to this song! The pitch in the song “She Loves You” was very obvious as they each hit their high and low notes to near perfection. The vocals shifted to...

Summit High hockey tops Standley Lake
Slow starts had been a problem for the Summit High hockey team early this season, but it wasn’t an issue Friday night as the Tigers jumped to a 2-0 lead and held on to win 4-3 on the road against Standley Lake. The win was the team’s second in a row, bumping them to 2-3 on the season, 1-1 in-conference.
“We came out fast,” head coach Bobby Dore said, impressed by his boys’ start. “Four minutes in, we’re up two to nothing.”
Just 26 seconds into the first period, Summit’s George Kamins scored the Tigers’ opening goal, shortly followed by Ben Schoeffield with another at the 2:14 mark.
With the 2-0 lead, however, the Tigers eased off on their offensive.
“We got a little complacent,” senior forward Sam Herwig said. “We need to work on playing all 51 minutes.”
Standley Lake came roaring back with back-to-back goals by the Gators’ Nick McCarron, the second coming on a power play late in the first period.
“They came close to giving it away,” Dore said of the lapse. “The kids thought they’d won the game and then, bam, tied 2-2.”
Early in the second the Gators went up 3-2 after a Zack Nameh goal, but the Tigers turned on the offense once again with a quick counter by Parker Rothey to even the score.
Senior Luke Egging’s power play goal late in the second put the Tigers up for good.
Led by a strong defensive effort by Tiger goalie Wyatt Dickerson, Summit held the Gators scoring in check in the final period.
“We all played together well as a team,” Dickerson said of the Tigers’ third-period effort. “Everybody was helping each other out.”
The Tigers will resume their season after winter break with a game at Columbine High School Saturday, Jan. 3.
The team will then face their next big test at home Monday, Jan. 5, against league power Ralston Valley who will bring a 33-game winstreak to the Tigers’ home ice.

In a little over two days, Barcelona are set to play one of their biggest matches of the season as they host Manchester United for the first leg of the UEFA Europa League playoffs.
The Blaugrana are coming into the game on a hot streak, having not lost a single one of their last 16 matches across all competitions, winning the previous 11 in a row.
But, Manchester United will be no pushovers, having strung together a good run of results themselves under Erik ten Hag. Indeed, the Red Devils have lost just one of their last 16 matches in all competitions heading into the clash at Camp Nou.
One of the main factors behind Manchester United’s strong run has been Marcus Rashford. The 25-year-old is easily enjoying the best campaign of his career to date as he has already plundered 21 goals and eight assists from 34 games in all competitions.
Rashford has scored 13 goals in all competitions since the World Cup break and will present the biggest threat to Barcelona on Thursday night.
But, according to Javi Miguel of AS, Xavi has already come up with a plan to negate the danger posed by Rashford. In order to counter the England international, the Barcelona manager plans to deploy Ronald Araujo to mark him closely.
Xavi has previously used this strategy against Real Madrid, pitting Araujo against Vinicius Jr to keep the Brazilian winger quiet. And, the 43-year-old tactician will once again look up to his Uruguayan defensive mainstay to cut off Rashford’s influence at Camp Nou.
The 25-year-old has been deployed mainly on the left flank by ten Hag and it could result in Araujo playing at right-back to stop him. However, it is not a given as the Englishman has also played as a centre-forward on several occasions.
At the same time, Raphinha’s tracking of Luke Shaw, who combines a lot with Rashford, will also be key for Barça.

Welcome to the Herb of the week! Here you can find short presentations of favorite herbs, common uses and some extra information related to the Chinese and the Greek herbal medicine.
All the information provided is informative, if someone has health problems or wants to follow a specific treatment, it is good to refer to an herbalist and even with the supervision of his doctor in cases of prescription medicine. In cases of herbal therapy, an herb is rarely used by itself and is needed to be monitored by a trained herbalist for the right combination.
Nature has provided to have such a great variety of herbs, wisely divided into the cycle of seasons, that is admirable, and the more someone gets to know more about the plant kingdom the more will be fascinated! We continue with the basic liver detoxification herbs since we are already in the second month of spring. Of course, we wouldn’t leave the milk thistle seeds out! The use of thistle seeds was already known by Dioscorides as a detoxifying and lactagogue (promoting the flow of breast milk) herb.
This humble weed has amazing properties and its uses coincide with traditional Greek and Chinese herbal medicine. It is important to mention some of its ingredients, it contains, among others, flavonoid glycosides, malic acid salts, potassium nitrate, and mucilage.
Traditionally but also in Chinese herbal medicine is used:
- To improve liver function
- During breastfeeding as lactagogue
- As an anti-depressant herb
- For liver fat infiltration
- For psoriasis
- To regulate mast cells
- For liver diseases such as chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, cholelithiasis, cholangitis, jaundice
- To clean the chronic alcohol drinkers hepatic syndromes
- To remove toxic fire
It is cold in nature and bitter in taste. It indicates the liver and gallbladder meridians. It removes the toxicity, the heat and dries the dampness, it is a very strong detoxifying herb.
In general, it is considered a safe herb, but it needs moderation in its consumption because it can cause diarrhea, stomach upsets, allergic reactions in those who have allergies, and if someone has hypertension thistle is not suitable because it can raise blood pressure.
Suggested combinations for decoction:
It can be consumed by itself up to 2-3 cups a day, it needs to be boiled in water for 5-10 minutes, left for another 5 minutes in hot water, and then consumed lukewarm.
Artichoke leaves with taraxacum, thistle seeds, and nettle leaves to nourish the liver and gallbladder and as a very strong detoxifying combination for spring.

If your heart is beating like a jungle drum and you’re not Emiliana Torrini, you should probably download Apple Watch’s new ECG app. With the latest Watch OS 5.3 on the Apple Watch Series 4, you can now conduct electrocardiograms right from your wrist at your own convenience.
You might ask: why would you want, or for that matter, need to measure your heart rhythm in the middle of the day? Surely, this sounds like a siren song for hypochondriacs?
Not necessarily. With the 21st century breathing down our necks, and the intense hustle and bustle that accompanies Singapore’s beat, the level of stress faced in daily life could, if left untreated, impact on your mental state and trigger episodes of cardiac arrhythmia. Say, I don’t know—perhaps from a friend's grating laugh that even Powerbeats Pro can’t drown out or a certain acquaintance's nasal voice playing (or should we say, braying?) over in your head.
First up, what is an echocardiogram or ECG?
It is a reading that represents the electrical pulses that make your heart beat. The ECG app checks these pulses to get your heart rate and to see if your upper and lower chambers of your heart are in rhythm. If they're out of rhythm, that is atrial fibrillation.
How do you use the ECG app?
Available to consumers as a free update to watchOS 5.3 and approved by the Singapore Health Sciences Authority board, the ECG app (launched 22 July) pairs up with new touch-sensitive electrodes built into the back crystal and Digital Crown of the Apple Watch Series 4 to take readings whenever and wherever you please.
At set-up, users are taken through a quick on-screen run of who can use these features, what these features can and cannot do, how to interpret the results as well as with clear instructions on how to proceed if the data indicates that immediate medical attention is needed.
It’s user-friendly and accessible
What makes this app worthy of a mention is how quick and easy it is to use. To take readings at any time, users simply need to launch the app and hold a finger down on the Apple Watch Series 4 Digital Crown to complete the circuit and capture the electrical impulses sent across their heart.
After 30 seconds, the electrocardiogram reading classifies the wearer’s heart rhythm as either AF (heart is beating in an irregular pattern), sinus rhythm (heart is beating in a uniform pattern) or inconclusive (the ECG does not work if your heart rate is below 50 BPM or above 120 BPM).
With a 98.3 percent sensitivity in analysing cardiovascular data, the recordings are also stored in the Health app on your iPhone for easy reference, with a shareable PDF version for physicians.
“Having an easily accessible wearable like Apple Watch to detect heart rate, and now heart rhythm with the new ECG app, will go a long way in classifying and eventually managing atrial fibrillation,” said Julian Tan, MD, interventional cardiologist at The Cardiology Practice.
You can set up notifications for irregular heart patterns
Using the optical heart sensor in Apple Watch Series 1 or later, the app also monitors for irregular rhythm in the background, even when users are not actively checking their heart activity. When irregular rhythm is detected over five consecutive rhythm checks within a minimum of 65 minutes, users will be sent an alert through the irregular rhythm notification feature—pre-empting an episode before it occurs.
“We are confident in the ability of these features to help users have more informed conversations with their physicians,” said Sumbul Desai, MD, Apple’s vice president of Health. “With the ECG app and irregular rhythm notification feature, customers can now better understand aspects of their heart health in a more meaningful way.”
The update for watchOS 5.3 is available for download on the Apple Watch app.

Mix all ingredients and knead by hand or in a mixer (8 min by hand, 5 min in a kitchen-aid mixer) until the dough is soft and supple. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 1/2 hours.
After the dough has risen, place a baking stone on the bottom rack of the oven and preheat the oven to 450°F. If you don't have a baking stone, use a non-insulated cookie sheet.
Divide the dough into 8 portions and form each into a rough ball. Let rest, covered, for 10 minutes.
Roll out each ball into a 6 inch circle that is less than 1/4 inch thick. Use just enough flour to prevent sticking. Keep the other balls covered while you work.
Load 2 pita at a time directly onto the baking stone. It should take 3-4 minutes for the pitas to balloon. Turn them once while baking to assure even coloring.
Remove the pita from the oven and repeat with remaining pieces. Stack warm pitas together in a kitchen towel to keep them from crisping as they cool.
Directions for freezing dough:
Follow the recipe through the rise and the making of the balls. Wrap each ball of dough in plastic wrap and put them into a freezer-bag and freeze them. To make them, take as many balls out of the freezer as you want and defrost them in the refrigerator (I put them in the fridge at bedtime and bake them in the morning) leaving them wrapped in the plastic wrap. Take them out of the refrigerator when you turn on the oven to preheat. When the oven is ready, roll the dough out and bake as directed by the recipe. They may need a minute or two more baking time.

Woman's car damaged at parking structure
Birmingham police are investigating damage sustained to a vehicle that was parked on the evening of Friday, March 1, in the 400 block of Park Street.

Dr. Ferguson is an Environmental Analytical Chemist who joined Duke in 2009 after six years as an assistant professor in the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry at the University of South Carolina.
Research in the Ferguson laboratory is focused on development of novel methods for trace analysis of organic and nanoparticulate contaminants in the aquatic environment. Specifically, the laboratory uses high performance mass spectrometry techniques (e.g. UHPLC-Orbitrap MS/MS) to detect, identify, and quantify emerging contaminants (including endocrine disruptors, pharmaceuticals, and surfactants) in wastewater and drinking water. Another significant research thrust involves the development of sensitive trace analytical techniques for quantifying and characterizing single-walled carbon nanotubes in water, sediment, and aquatic organism tissues. For this work, near infrared fluorescence spectroscopy (NIRF) is used as a primary tool for resolving these novel nanoparticulate contaminants in highly complex environmental mixtures.
The analytical methods developed in the Ferguson laboratory laboratory (for both nanoparticles and organic contaminants) are applied to both process-oriented environmental chemistry experiments in the field and laboratory as well as to toxicity bioassays (including whole-organism assays and molecular endpoints). The overarching goal is to gain an increased understanding of how emerging contaminants are transported, transformed and induce deleterious effects within aquatic ecosystems.

The last couple of weeks have been full of anticipation from many fans in the Madden community. It’s about this time of year when we see how the latest Madden game will take shape. With the newest Madden 24 reveal trailer and massive news drop from EA, players will have loads to digest.
Madden 24 Reveal Trailer
Reveal trailers are traditionally the first look at an upcoming title. The Madden 24 trailer showcases big hits and long throws with narration. The trailer itself doesn’t show off much besides how good the game looks, but once you unwrap the press releases by Electronic Arts, you’ll see that the company’s latest football game isn’t just a pretty face.
Similar to last year’s game, EA has focused the on-field action with a new and improved version of FieldSENSE. This new iteration of the feature provides an enhanced gameplay foundation giving you greater control and delivering realism to all the ways you play.
In addition to this new version of FieldSENSE, Madden 24‘s gameplay will be improved, with tackling and passing feeling more authentic than in previous titles.
- Hit Everything 2.0 – Hit Everything expands with new contested catch tackle types that provide more control and tackle variety on defense. Tackle animations are selected more dynamically, which unlocks new and more fluid tackle interactions like Wrap and Scoop tackles.
- Skill-Based Passing 2.0 – Dive for a winning one-hander with improved catching AI, thread the needle with surgical accuracy using new throw animations, and anticipate more authentic defensive reactions with enhanced DB behavior introduced in Skill-Based Passing 2.0.
We broke the news that Madden 24 will feature cross-play capabilities a few weeks back. Electronic Arts have confirmed that the feature is in this year’s game and has lined up a FAQ page for players burning questions.
One thing to note from this page is that cross-play will be exclusive to Head-to-Head, MUT, Superstar KO, and Superstar Showdown.
For the first time in franchise history, the Buffalo Bills have a cover athlete. This year’s game’s cover star is Josh Allen.

The importance and structural change of the automotive industry
The automotive and supplier industry is a central branch of the economy for growth, labor market, innovation and social equality in Germany and Bavaria. In 2019, the 1,363 German automobile and motor vehicle companies with almost one million employees and a turnover of almost 440 billion euros accounted for more than a tenth of gross value added and 3 percent of employment in Germany. In the manufacturing sector, it contributes directly to around 20 percent of gross value added, 12 percent of employment and 44 percent of in-house research and development expenditures. On average, an employee in the automotive industry earns 830 euros more than in the rest of the manufacturing industry. Micro-enterprises and SMEs made up four fifths of the corporate structure in the German automotive industry.
In the same year 235 Bavarian motor vehicle companies with 206,000 employees and a turnover of 117 billion euros accounted for almost 16 percent of gross value added and 11 percent of employment in Bavaria.
The political objective of saving CO2 leads to a massive structural change in the German and Bavarian automotive and supplier industry which, without a more horizontal industrial policy support, will lead to significant losses in the areas of value creation, international competitiveness and jobs in the short, medium and potentially even long term.
In 2020, in Germany the quarterly rates of change in price-adjusted sales of motor vehicles, engines, parts and accessories have plummeted between -10 and -50 percent. Price-adjusted sales in the Bavarian motor vehicle trade decreased by 6 percent compared to 2019. The number of employees decreased by 2 percent.
However, the Corona economic crisis did not cause the bad business situation in the German and Bavarian automotive and supplier industries but worsened it. Since mid-2018 price-adjusted sales of motor vehicles, engines, parts and accessories of German automotive companies have been negative at −5 to −10 percent on average. From 2016 onwards gross value added in the automobile industry was negative, declining on average by 1 percent year-on-year. In Germany employment in the sector declined by 0.1 percent between 2018 and 2019, in Bavaria even by 1 percent. The ifo business climate in the automotive and supplier industries has been deteriorating continuously since the beginning of 2018.
A horizontal industrial policy and technoly neutrality
If the EU, Germany and Bavaria have set themselves the goal of creating a CO2-neutral economy, it is important that this goal is achieved in a technology-neutral manner and on a market-based basis as much as possible. Among other things, this means creating and maintaining a “level playing field” (an equal treatment regime) for all CO2-saving energy sources.
When analysing the existing strategies, timetables and budget plans, it can be stated that the funding and support programs of the EU, the German federal government and Bavaria that accompany the structural change mainly focus on electromobility and hydrogen technologies, whereas other CO2-neutral energy carriers and drive systems are being disadvantaged against, e.g., CO2-neutral synthetic fuels (e-fuels) and CO2-saving internal combustion engines.
The benefits of synthetic fuels
However, there are strong reasons why CO2-neutral synthetic fuels should be treated equally in the regulatory framework compared to hydrogen and e-mobility.
There are already many and relatively well-developed technological options for producing synthetic fuels in a CO2-neutral manner. For example, the Fraunhofer Institute in Bavaria is working on the research, development and market launch of the TCR process, in which synthetic fuels are produced CO2-neutrally from biogenic waste materials and with partial sequestration. In Germany alone there is a technical potential of over 20 million tons of unused biogenic residues and waste that can be used for the production of CO2-neutral synthetic fuels. In contrast to biodiesel, these do not conflict with food production.
In comparison, it can be stated that with the current German electricity mix e-cars during their life cycle produce more CO2 than conventional combustion engines.
In contrast to hydrogen and especially e-mobility, when switching to synthetic fuels it is possible to maintain in the domestic automotive industry the value creation structure based on the internal combustion engine, which is of central importance for international competitiveness, the labour market and innovation activity in Germany and Bavaria According to studies by the ifo Institute, more than 600,000 German industrial jobs, around 130,000 jobs in small and medium-sized companies and around 13 percent (EUR 48 billion) of gross value added depend directly and indirectly on the combustion engine technology.
According to a study for the Federal Ministry of Economics, up to 300,000 jobs in the automotive industry are endangered by the electrification of the car market by 2040. The change to the electric battery, which will be mainly produced in Asia, will cost the Bavarian automotive suppliers alone around 55,000 jobs by 2025.
The use of CO2-neutral synthetic fuels is also advantageous because, despite all government measures, combustion engines will continue to be bought and used in the domestic and foreign mobility sector.
Forecasts by the German Aerospace Center (DLR) for 2030 assume that – with a stock of 10 to 13 million electric cars – over 70 percent of vehicles will continue to be equipped with internal combustion engines. Despite COVID and the climate change mitigation policies, global demand for internal combustion engines is still expected to increase by 4.9 percent annually through 2025, especially in the emerging economies.
According to the first profitability calculations, CO2-neutral synthetic fuel could be produced using the Bavarian TCR process at 75 euro cents per liter (before taxes). A further cost reduction through the upscaling of the technologies is foreseeable.
According to the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, there are still large areas of the transport sector in which a purely battery-electric or H2O-based transportation mode will be economically difficult, if not impossible to achieve until 2050. These areas include air traffic, shipping, agricultural and construction machinery, as well as heavy goods traffic.
With a shift towards synthetic fuels, not only can the competitive German and Bavarian value-added structure in the automotive, aviation and shipping industries be guaranteed and increased, but the existing conventional infrastructure of petrol stations, storage facilities and pipelines can also be maintained and used at no additional cost.
According to forecasts by IW Köln, global demand for synthetic fuels could easily reach 20,000 TWh by 2050 – this corresponds to half of the current global crude oil market.
For the reasons mentioned above, the Federal Government should advocate regulatory equality (an equal treatment regime) of research, development and the market ramp-up of CO2-neutral synthetic fuels compared to hydrogen and e-mobility at all levels. This could include, but is not limited to, the following measures:
- The adoption of strategies for CO2-neutral synthetic fuels at the Bavarian, federal and EU level based on the model of the respective hydrogen strategies at the Bavarian, federal and EU level.
- The tax equality (an equal treatment regime) of CO2-neutral synthetic fuels as well as vehicles with internal combustion engines, which are technically guaranteed that they can only be operated with CO2-neutral synthetic fuels, compared to electromobility and hydrogen technologies in the Fuel Emissions Trading Act (BEHG), the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG), the Motor Vehicle Tax Act (KraftStG), the Federal Trunk Road Toll Act (BFStrMG), the Electromobility Act (EmoG), the Income Tax Act (EStG), the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS), etc.
- The inclusion of CO2-neutral synthetic fuels in the fleet balance in the EU directives 2009/30 / EC and 2009/50 / EC.
- The equation of CO2-neutral synthetic fuels in the EU RED-II directive compared to hydrogen and e-mobility.
- Vehicles with internal combustion engines, which are guaranteed that they can only be operated with CO2-neutral synthetic fuels, should be taken into account in the reform of company car taxation planned by the federal government.
- The legal framework for grants for the purchase of vehicles with an alternative drive system based on hydrogen and e-mobility should be changed so that these funds also apply to vehicles with internal combustion engines, provided that it is technically ensured that these are only CO2-neutral synthetic fuels can be operated.
- The items foreseen in the budgets at the state, nation and EU-levels for the promotion of research, development and the market ramp-up of electromobility and hydrogen technologies need to be extended to cover CO2-neutral synthetic fuels.
An important parallel political measure, which could not be explained in this article, but which must be mentioned for the sake of correctness and completeness, would be to lift all bureaucratic CO2 bans at all levels and instead apply the EU emissions trading system (ETS) to other sectors, especially transport and construction, and to expand the ETS as much as possible to other countries within the framework of a global “climate coalition”. Because, if the goal was set to save CO2, it should be left to the markets themselves, i.e., the producers and consumers, to decide where and how carbon dioxide can be saved most effectively., In this way, the basic principles of technology openness and market economy can be adhered to.

Mr Trump is “trying hard” to recruit journalists, politicians and other influential figures to get behind the idea that he can return to the White House, according to the conservative National Review magazine
The idea has become popular with Trump’s MAGA supporters and is based on the idea that Joe Biden’s election victory could be overturned following Republican “audits” of election results in Arizona and Georgia.
“I can attest, from speaking to an array of different sources, that Donald Trump does indeed believe quite genuinely that he — along with former senators David Perdue and Martha McSally — will be ‘reinstated’ to office this summer,” said Charles Cooke of the National Review.
“Trump is trying hard to recruit journalists, politicians, and other influential figures to promulgate this belief — not as a fundraising tool or an infantile bit of trolling or a trial balloon, but as a fact.”
Mr Trump’s belief that he will be back in the White House over the summer was first reported by The New York Times.
“Trump has been telling a number of people he’s in contact with that he expects he will get reinstated by August (no that isn’t how it works but simply sharing the information),” tweeted Maggie Haberman.
Mr Trump filed and lost more than 40 lawsuits across the country in a failed attempt to overturn Joe Biden’s election victory, and failed to present any credible evidence of fraud to any judge.


This article was first published by IEG Policy Agribusiness on 7 February 2020
Katia Merten-Lentz of international law firm, Keller and Heckman, writes on how the EU is taking a broader approach to official controls in the food supply chain.
The Official Controls Regulation (EU) 2017/625 – the new OCR – entered into force on 14 December 2019. While the new OCR does not revolutionize the system in place, it provides certain key evolutions to ensure that food and feed are safe in the European Union.
Until the 13 December 2019, the EU system of official controls was governed by separate pieces of legislation which covered food and feed safety, plant health or animal-by-products.
The new OCR intends to simplify this complex framework by either repealing or amending the legislation to provide a coherent approach toward official controls along the entire agri-food chain.
It also extends the scope of the Official Control Regulation, which not only covers food and feed safety but also animal health requirements, animal welfare and protective measure against pests of plants. It also covers specific sectors such labeling and organic production.
This broader scope of the new OCR reflects the concept of control of the entire “agri-food chain”, including the objective to prevent the spread of animal diseases, in some cases transmissible to humans, or of pests injurious to plants or plant products, and to ensure the protection of the environment from risks that might arise from genetically modified organisms (GMOs) or plant protection products .
Beyond food and feed safety from the traditional “farm to fork”, the new OCR also encompasses multidimensional aspects that includes our environment. However, this also entails the adoption of numerous technical measures which have not been directly integrated into the Regulation. Detailed measures will be adopted through implementing delegated acts, which reduce the visibility of the law when put into practice.
Risk based approach and transparency of official controls in the EU
The new OCR also provides a basis for a comprehensive risk-based approach along the agri-food chain, which means that the frequency of controls should be in accordance with to the risks linked to the specific product, process and FBO.
This principle now applies to all areas. The evaluation of the risk includes the operator’s past records of compliance and the reliability of its own checks as well as any information indicating the likelihood that consumers might be misled about e.g. the properties, quality or composition of the food.
In addition, FBOs must assist and cooperate with staff of the competent authorities in the accomplishment of their task and the competent authorities must provide a copy of the report to FBOs subject to an official control.
This reflects the ambition of the new OCR to make the official controls more efficient but also more transparent for the operators. However, the application of such principles will still rely on national administrative practices, which may be different from one country to another.
The inclusion of e-commerce and food fraud in the scope of official controls
Finally, the new OCR includes key provisions allowing the competent authorities to order products online without identifying themselves (“mystery shopping”) and brings fraudulent or deceptive practices in the food sector within in the scope of official controls.
But unfortunately, food fraud is still not clearly defined by the EU legislation, which makes it difficult to define fraudulent behavior within the food sector.
For sure, this new regulation will improve official control efficiency along the agri-food chain and strengthen legal certainty for both national authorities and food business operators. However, practice and time will say if this is enough to reach its ambitious objectives and whether the broad approach remains in coherence with the core objective of ensuring a high level of health within the EU.

Nature Walk: White-tailed Buck
One of the common messages of the Advent season is, “Be watchful, be alert you do not know when the time will come. ” If you are a handsome white-tailed buck this is your motto throughout the hunting season. Bucks with large racks of antlers are both wise and wary. They likely spend the daylight hours bedded down in tall vegetation away from traveled roads. Should danger approach they may lie flat on the ground to keep from being detected.
On this chilly morning’s Nature Walk we hope that you’ll enjoy this majestic buck’s impressive antlers as much as we do. What’re some of your favorite Iowa animals?

President Donald Trump attended the NCAA College Football Playoff championship game on Monday night in Atlanta, only to be welcomed with a mixture of boos and cheers and accused nationwide of either forgetting or not knowing the words to the national anthem.
Trump was accompanied on the field by ROTC members and stood with his hand across his chest. As he entered the field, the crowd greeted him with largely mixed reactions. As the song played, he bopped around, appearing to sing along with some parts of the song, but not others. In the aftermath of the anthem, many people wondered if he knew the words.
Before the game began, Alabama running back Bo Scarbrough was heard yelling in the tunnel, and it sounded as if he said, "F**k Trump."
Scarborough denied he directed his words toward the president and said they were instead directed at his team's opponent, the University of Georgia.
"F**k Georgia," he claimed to have said.
Trump's national anthem spectacle of fidgeting — whether or not he knows the words to the anthem — comes after his crusade against the NFL and athletes who have recently participated in protests during the song as a response to ongoing police brutality and racial injustices. The president has railed against the league and urged owners to fire "son-of-a-b**ch" players that engage in any protests during the song. His open criticism drew ire from athletes throughout the country.
"We want our flag respected . . . and we want our national anthem respected also," Trump said just prior to attending the game on Monday night. "And we're fighting for our country, and for our great American flag, we are fighting for that flag."
When legendary journalist Dan Rather sat down with Salon, he explained why he supported the players' protests and that they had the right to express themselves
The very thought that the president could have forgotten the national anthem, however, was not brought up in the slightest on Trump's well-known favorite morning news show, "Fox & Friends." Instead, the show continued to bash protesters and paint their vocal support for social injustice as unpatriotic, even as they staunchly expressed concern over protests in Iran.
