Cleveland rocker Dylan Baldi has plenty to be proud of in his short music career. The mastermind behind Cloud Nothings has seen his project blossom from a one man show to a full fledged band that procured so much commotion that they caught Steve Albini’s attention and produced their break out 2012 effort Attack on Memory. Some fans maybe disappointed to know that Here and Nowhere Else, his fourth release in five years follows in almost continuous mindset from Attack on Memory with a glistening array of fast, joyful sonic euphoria never letting off the crunchy, band practice-esque accelerator but that is perfectly fine.
In the absence of former member Joe Boyer, Baldi has taken up double duty on the guitar front creating a more frantic style that covers all basis in the grimy muck of lo-fi glory and the twinkling melodies of energetic and indecisive indie noise. Don’t believe me? Look no further than the ironically titled “Quieter Today” that exhausts itself in a tireless effort to be louder and bombastic. Regardless of increased duties Baldi has implored the KISS method (Keep it simple, stupid) for creating simple, upbeat thrashings of noise rock like “Psychic Trauma” that unleash memories of the past on the punk, indie, and alternative fronts.
There is so much going on and if titles like “Just See Fear” and “I’m Not Part of Me” didn’t say enough a frantic pacing of ideas shows off a lack of cohesiveness that is no doubt intentional. Still most of the songs have a happy sheen no less that differs greatly from the rough and tough nature of their previous effort. “Let’s brighten it up for the kids” is what I hope Baldi was thinking and really many of these tracks have the benefit of having as much energy as it does craft regardless of the mess that they project so beautifully.
While Here and Nowhere Else is at full speed for the majority of its duration the seven minute “Pattern Walks” offers something that Baldi probably would have never dared a few albums back. An exhaustion overlooks this shadowy, wall of echo that displays all kinds of craziness and genius and while “I’m Not Part of Me” delivers one more polished, up beat bit of indie goodness the former track displays leaps and bounds the band’s further potential come their next recorded outing. Here and Nowhere Else doesn’t feel far removed from their other releases but it’s an arsenal of fast, lo-fi numbers best worn on a car stereo, windows down, and straddling the surface of the road.

On Saturday, August 5, the Brooksville library is opening its doors, and those of a few neighbors, to share its 60th anniversary with Robert McCloskey’s classic children’s book, One Morning in Maine, which also turns 60 this year.
McCloskey summered in South Brooksville as a child, and One Morning in Maine focuses on daily life in the town from the perspective of Sal, who is based on McCloskey’s daughter of the same name.
The old Condon garage, featured in the book, will showcase vintage cars and boats, “and the old sign will be up,” said library board trustee Poly Bishop, who is organizing the event.
Ice cream will be served at the old post office, formerly the Condon’s Store, and at the Condon home up the hill from the garage, Jane McCloskey will sign copies of her recently published book, Robert McCloskey, A Private Life in Words and Pictures. Old photos of the store and garage and “a little bit of life at the beginning of the 20th century” will be on display in the house, Bishop said.
In addition, a show by local artists will hang in the barn at Condon’s house, and “wandering musicians” will stroll the village streets, where the events take place “all within 50 feet of each other,” Bishop said.
The 60th anniversary party serves as the library’s annual summer fundraiser, and “will help a great deal to contribute to the budget,” Bishop said, adding that the library’s yearly budget is about 10 times what the town contributes.
One contribution the town did make, at this year’s town meeting, was an allocation of $25,000 toward a library expansion project estimated to cost around $200,000.
“Basically, we’re out of space,” said Harry Madson, chairman of the library board of trustees. “We’ve seen a significant increase in the number of people, kids and internet use.”
Library use by children is up 60 percent, said Madson, including an after-school reading program where 6- to 10-year-olds work one-on-one with adults. Internet use is up 280 percent, with the library providing 24 hour a day access outside the building.
The expansion plan will add 900 square feet of space—60 percent more room than the building currently has—by removing the deck and turning the area into interior space.
Madson said that the selectmen have seen the plans and are “very much in favor, and support [them].”
A meeting for contractors to review the plans is scheduled for Wednesday, August 1. The hope is for exterior construction work to begin in late August or early September. Interior work will happen “as funds become available,” Madson said.
The library has raised $53,000, including the town’s $25,000 allocation, toward the project and has applied for over $100,000 in grants. It plans to raise the remainder through donations.
The 60th anniversary fundraiser runs from 2 to 5 p.m., and its “major focus is to raise money for the ongoing funds for the library,” said Madson.

Demi Lovato appeared on The Ellen Show this Wednesday and opened up about
the recent events in her life.
The Confident singer confirmed to Ellen that she is dating MMA fighter Guilherme
The two were first linked together in August 2016, shortly after Lovato broke off
her 6 years long relationship with actor Wilmer Valderrama. Since then they
have been seen together a lot; only last month they were spotted at the Bellator
170 in Los Angeles.
Demi told Ellen how it’s like dating a MMA fighter.
The “Cool For The Summer” singer told that she does get a little nervous when she
watches him fight, although he wins most of the time. When Ellen asked her if
she feels bad for the person he is hurting Demi told “I don’t feel bad, nope! It’s a
Still Demi told that her man is very sweet to her.
During the interview, the 24 year old singer also opened up about being
nominated at this year’s Grammys.
This year Lovato received her first nomination by the Recording Academy for her
album Confident, in the category “Best Pop Vocal Album”.
Demi also talked about her sexy see-through dress that she wore at the event,
at told that at first she hesitated to wear it.
“At first, I tried on the dress, and I was like, ‘I’m not wearing this. It’s see-
through. And then everyone was like, “It looks amazing!” And then I convinced
myself”, she told.
The singer revealed that the most uncomfortable part at the event was walking
the red carpet with her step-dad in the see-through dress. She told he approved
it, but “I don’t know if he realized it was see-through” – she explained.
Adele won the “Best Pop Vocal Album”, but being nominated was still a great
honor for Demi. She also performed a tribute in honor of The Bee Gees, and
owned the stage that night.
Ellen and Demi also played the game “Su’Move It Move It” and it was pretty
hilarious. Watch the game and the interview below:

TRENTON — Babies and toddlers were far more likely to die from child abuse and spent longer periods of time in foster care than older children over the last five years, according to a report released today.
Advocates for Children of New Jersey, which compiled the report, said it shows New Jersey’s child welfare system should rethink how it responds to its most vulnerable clients.
"These facts spotlight a tragic truth: infants and toddlers are more likely to fall victim to abuse and neglect — and are more likely to die from maltreatment," said Cecilia Zalkind, executive director for the group. "New Jersey must take stronger steps to protect these very young children."
According to the report:
• Eighty percent, or 91 of 114 of the children who died from abuse and neglect from 2007 to 2011 were 3 or younger;
• Babies under 12 months old spent an average of 17 months in foster care — seven months longer than children from one to five years old;
• Preschool children (under 4 years old) comprised one-third of New Jersey’s 7,484 foster child population in June.
Child advocates say preschool children historically are most vulnerable to harm because they cannot protect themselves, can’t speak or are just learning to speak, and spend most of their time at home and out of sight.
The advocacy group recommended more training of child welfare workers, as well as attorneys and judges involved with family court matters, on the needs of infants and toddlers. California considers a child’s age when determining the safety of a home, and New Jersey should, too, the report said.
It also said parents should be required to visit their children in foster care more than once a week, citing research that found increasing visits greatly improves the odds of a baby returning home or getting adopted by another family within a year.
The Advocates for Children also recommend changing state law to require the child welfare agency collect more information about babies, such as how often they are abused again after returning from foster care, and the frequency of caseworker and parent visits.
to keep up with the latest New Jersey news, sports and entertainment.
"Given the large number of New Jersey children three and under in the child protection system, their fragile stage of development and the severe consequences abuse has on their lifelong health and well-being, it is urgent that specific provisions to child protection policy and practice be established to ensure the safety of our youngest children," according to the report.
State officials would not comment on the report today.
The report came a day before a federal court monitor today is expected to issue the latest report card assessing the effectiveness of the child welfare system. In past reports, the monitor found caseworkers struggled to ensure children in foster care visited with their parents every week.

Why Jon Bon Jovi Won’t Play Super Bowl Halftime Show
The singer explained that he’s seen some amazing performances at the annual event, but there are reasons he doesn't want to take part in one himself.
Asked on Howard Stern’s SiriusXM radio show if he’d ever play a halftime show, Bon Jovi replied, “No desire – I turned it down many years ago. ... I didn’t like that you had to team up with other people, that you have these people coming on your stage and all the demands, all the pressures.”
He noted that "it didn’t appeal to me to play at the New Jersey one. It seemed too obvious. The last time, honest to God, that we were at all interested was back when they had it in Dallas, and we didn’t get it. I said, ‘That’s the end of it. … I won’t even talk about it again.’” Name-checking Prince and U2, he said, “Some of the performances have been unbelievable. … There’s been some amazing ones over the years. But [it’s] not for me.”
You can listen to the interview below.
Listen to Jon Bon Jovi on Howard Stern's Show
Bon Jovi also said that the release of his band’s latest album, 2020, has been delayed from its original May 5 date as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. He added that keyboardist David Bryan, who’d contracted the disease last month, was “doing better” now.
He went on to explain that “Do What You Can,” the song he co-wrote with fans as a result of the global emergency, would be performed during his home-based slot on the Jersey 4 Jersey fundraising show on April 22.
“And then of course I should do ‘Livin’ on a Prayer,’” he added. "Because it’s such an important song for so many people, and it brings us back to happier days.”

Framed: 32 x 52 inches
Born in Siberia in the wake of the Russian Revolution, Esphyr Slobodkina's family settled in Harbin, Manchuria. In 1928, Slobodkina immigrated to New York City and enrolled at the National Academy of Design the following year. In 1931, through a peer, she became acquainted with Ilya Bolotowsky. The two shared an interest in the theoretical aspects of modern art-form, color, and composition. Slobodkina also formed relationships with Gertrude Greene, Byron Browne, and Giorgio Cavallon, and became immersed in city's avant-garde scene. In the early 1930s, Slobodkina and Bolotowsky were invited to the Yaddo artist colony in Saratoga Springs, and there the former began experimenting with abstraction. The two married in 1933, and Slobodkina produced her first Cubist work in 1934.
In 1936, Slobodkina separated from Bolotowsky. Around this time, her family moved to New York city; alongside her mother, Slobodkina opened a dress shop and served as a textile designer and manufacturer. She joined the Works Progress Administration and became active in the Artists' Union, for which she began to design paper collage posters and in the process further develop her brand of abstraction. By 1936, she was a fully-fledged abstractionist, her works reflecting her experience in collage by way of their flat, layered compositional arrangements. In addition to her paintings, Slobodkina worked on Surrealist-inspired sculptures composed of wood, wire, and found objects. In 1937 she became a founding member of the American Abstract Artists, and would later become president.
That same year, Slobodkina met famous children's book author Margaret Wise Brown and was inspired to try her hand at illustration. She illustrated Brown's The Little Fireman as well as her own Caps for Sale (1938), which went on to become a beloved piece of children's literature and was even adapted into a musical. Throughout the '40s and '50s, Slobodkina participated in a series of notable exhibitions, including "Eight by Eight: Abstract Painting since 1940" at the Philadelphia Museum of Art (1945) and the Whitney Museum of American Art annuals (through the 1950s).
"There's a body, there's a wing structure…I don't believe in this Kandinsky floating stuff. I'm not a ghost…I'm still building structures…I'm very architectonic."
—Esphyr Slobodkina on her work, taken from a March 26, 1994 interview
One of Slobodkina's finest compositions, Levitator represents the pinnacle of the artist's career, and was painted during the decade in which she achieved an astounding level of critical success. Having exhibited in New York City in the 1940s, Slobodkina continued to show her work actively throughout the '50s. She participated in the Whitney Annuals of 1950, '51, '52, '53, '55, and '58; her 1952 entry Composition with White Ovals was subsequently purchased by the museum. Levitator bears the hallmarks of Slobodkina's mature style: bold, graphic forms-the artist described herself as an "Abstract Surrealist"-and a concentration on definitively mechanical and modern subject matter. Levitator is closely related to an oil on gessoed plywood work of the same title that Slobodkina created in 1950, after seeing and becoming inspired by the scraped-gesso paintings of John Ferren at the Museum of Living Art. This other Levitator is marked by areas in which the gesso is completely scratched off, exposing the texture of the bare plywood underneath. Slobodkina considered it the culmination of her style. Our oil on canvas Levitator dates to the same decade, and is characterized by a similar horizontal compositional arrangement featuring strong geometries and a masterful use of color. Dynamic tensions are created in Slobodkina's overlapping and interweaving of inventive shapes, and the effect is a futuristic machine-like abstraction that resembles the structure of an airplane. Her dramatic tonality and hard lines lend Levitator's flat forms a sense of dimensionality; complete with wings and propellors, Slobodkina's abstraction assumes the appearance of an aircraft ready to take flight.

2015 August 25 - Melisa Oberti
Vote Smart announced today, after repeated requests only 22 state legislative candidates were willing to provide citizens with specific issue positions.
Vote Smart, an organization started by Presidents Carter and Ford, has been testing all congressional and state legislative candidates’ willingness to provide citizens with essential issue positions since the early 1990s. Melisa Oberti, Vote Smart spokesperson said that after 4 repeated requests,
less than 10% of the 210 legislative candidates were willing to show enough courage to tell citizens where they stood on 10 key issues. That is far fewer
than candidates running for federal offices, which have often had a majority of candidates willing to show courage. However, the number of candidates
willing to provide such information has been steadily declining from a high of 72% in 1996 to less than 10% here in Virginia today.
This national trend is in lock step with the increasing nastiness of political tactics. “Today’s candidates' fear of opposition research is much stronger than their desire to keep voters informed. The horror of this trend,” said Ms. Oberti, “Is that you cannot inform voters without informing your opponent who is likely to use anything and
everything -- both true and untrue -- against you.” Vote Smart not only tests the candidates’ willingness to provide this information, but also collects each candidate’s biographical information, voting records, interest group ratings and campaign finances. This enables any citizen to see instantly who these people are and how they behave, whether they were willing to provide clear issue positions or not ...

Benefits of Salty Lemonade
For Vietnamese people, salty lemonade is a household product that is being enjoyed for centuries, not only for the refreshing and delicious taste, but also for its health benefits. The salt in salty lemonade helps replenish the sodium that is lost from sweating, and the fermented lemons or limes provide many of the essential enzymes to keep the body going. Think of salty lemonade as the natural sports drink that is filled with electrolytes, Vitamin C, probiotics, and enzymes.
But salty lemonade is not only an excellent thirst quencher, it is also a healer in itself. Vietnamese families use it to heal and maintain a healthy gut, get rid of excess water and fat, balance and increase energy, treat constipation and diarrhea, combat the cold and flu, relieve sore throat, as well as many other ailments.

Fluoride is chemical element which helps in maintaining dental hygiene, especially reducing the number of teeth cavities.
It can be present naturally in drinking water or food such us (pickles, cucumber, dill, grape juice, and etc.). There are many countries which have lower levels of fluoride in the water to prevent cavities, and extra fluoride may be needed to be introduced to the diet. For people who have cavities problem may require both topical fluoride treatments by the dentist and dietary fluoride.
Brushing and flossing the teeth is essential, taking extra fluoride will not change your good dental habits.
Importance of Diet
Varied and balanced diet is very important for your overall health. Sometimes we may require professional care about the proper diet. Vitamins and minerals are essential part of the daily diet, and if you are not sure about the daily intake ask your health care professional for a list of foods and amounts which will be appropriate for you. Sometimes supplements which contain vitamins and minerals are required, for urgently leveling the needed amounts of vitamins and minerals.
Needed dose of fluoride can be taken on many natural ways, such us eating fish, including the bones, tea, and drinking water rich with allowed amount of dietary fluoride.
Food which is cooked in water contains fluoride naturally. But be careful, cooking always should be done in Teflon-coated pans, because aluminum pans create chemical reaction and reduce the fluoride levels.
Many countries define the daily fluoride amount on different ways:
- Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) – defines the amount of minerals and vitamins which should to be included in the diet of a healthy person. Recommended amounts vary depending on a person’s physical condition, age, sex.
- Daily Values (DVs) – are the stickers used on dietary supplements and food which indicate the recommended daily amounts of the nutrients included into the product.
- Recommended Nutrient Intakes (RNIs) – amounts of proteins, vitamins and minerals which adequate nutrition needed to provide and lower the risk of chronic disease
There isn’t definition for fluoride, in RDA or RNI, but exist general rule provided by the nutrition professionals defined as follows:
Infants and children
- Birth to 3 years of age: 0.1 to 1.5 (mg).
- 4 to 6 years of age: 1 to 2.5 mg.
- 7 to 10 years of age: 1.5 to 2.5 mg.
Adolescents and adults
- 1.5 to 4 mg.
- The total daily amount of fluoride includes what you get from the beverages, foods, and supplements
- The total amount of fluoride shouldn’t be greater than the daily allowed amounts defined above. Too much fluoride could can cause serious problems with your bones and teeth
Fluoride can be found in some of the following dosage forms:
- Tablet, Chewable
- Tablet, Enteric Coated
Fluoride can be found in some of the following products:
US Brand Name
- Control Rx
- Dentall 1100 Plus
- Fluoridex Daily Defense Enhanced Whitening
- Denta 5000 Plus
- APF Gel

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for all of us, but there are some specific fish oil benefits for men that could make this nutrient extra important. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in particular are two types of omega-3 that have been shown to positively influence both physical and mental health in the male population.
Omega-3 fatty acids are like building blocks, even those found in the best fish oil supplements. They’re particularly abundant in the brain and male reproductive system, where they largely contribute to their normal function. A review published in the Journal of Men’s Health also found that eating fish regularly could bring benefits to men’s reproductive, cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems.
However, many people may struggle to get enough EPA and DHA fatty acids from seafood alone. If you can’t eat fish, or simply don’t like the taste, supplements could help you to quickly top up your intake, with many brands offering vegan-friendly omega-3 supplements derived from seaweed and algae.
Here are just some of the fish oil benefits for men.
1. Supports fertility
Fish oil compounds play an important role in male fertility. Seminal fluid needs to carry a certain amount of omega-3 fatty acids to maintain a healthy environment for sperm cells. What’s more, testicles use DHA to bind the building blocks that make up the acrosome - this is located at the tip of the sperm and contains all the enzymes that let the sperm penetrate the egg.
A review published in Human Reproductive Update has linked healthy dietary habits to improved semen condition and fecundability - this is the likelihood of a woman getting pregnant within one menstrual cycle. Regular consumption of fish, shellfish and seafood was also found to be positively associated with several indicators of sperm quality.
A study published in JAMA journal also suggested that fish oil supplements may improve fertility by affecting the functioning of testicles. Study participants with the highest consumption were reported to have a higher semen volume and total sperm count, larger testicular size, higher testosterone levels and an improved ratio of the key hormones that regulate sperm production.

“Indeed, male infertility is closely linked to chronic inflammation,” adds Yalda Alaoui, nutritionist and founder of Eat Burn Sleep. Omega-3s from fish oil could therefore have an anti-inflammatory effect.
2. Boosts testosterone
Testosterone is a key male reproductive hormone responsible for many of the physical attributes specific to men. But does high testosterone really make men healthier? It appears that it can have a profound impact on men’s mental wellbeing, sense of self and their ability to succeed at work.
Testosterone also has a crucial role in the regulation of carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism. Without it, building muscle and losing body fat may be a rather difficult task. Therefore, keeping this hormone in check is important for good health. And fish oils may be a good place to start.
Emerging evidence points to the significance of seafood consumption for the sufficient synthesis of testosterone. One 2020 study published in Prostaglandins, Leukotrienes and Essential Fatty Acids found that supplementation with fish oil may contribute to increased testosterone levels and improved glucose metabolism in overweight and obese men. Changes in testosterone levels were positively associated with the intake of EPA and DHA omega-3.
3. Improves sexual health
Erectile dysfunction affects up to one in five men globally and can be a source of severe emotional distress. Erectile dysfunction is not a disease in itself, but rather a symptom of other health issues, and is often considered to be an early sign of cardiovascular disease.
According to a study in Lipidology, heart and circulation problems are tightly linked to the type and amount of fat in the diet. For this reason, scientists have been speculating that omega-3 could also have a beneficial effect on erectile function.
One study published in the Korean Academy of Medical Sciences used a specially modified rat model to show exactly how omega-3 fatty acids can improve several factors contributing to the development of erectile dysfunction. The results were promising and likely to be replicated in human subjects.
What’s more, omega-3 consumption could improve other elements of sexual health, with a study in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism finding that fish and seafood consumption was associated with a higher sexual intercourse frequency and higher fertility rates among couples trying to get pregnant.
“There's some promising indicators that fish oil supplementation could be beneficial for male sexual and reproductive health,” says Dr Hussain Ahmad, medical doctor and consulting doctor for Click2Pharmacy. “But this is still an emerging topic with lots of research to do. My advice would be that if you're suffering from erectile dysfunction or any other problems relating to sexual health, you speak to a medical professional before supplementing with or taking anything.”
4. Promotes heart health
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death globally, taking approximately 18 million lives each year. Men are disproportionately affected by heart disease too. In the US, cardiac conditions are responsible for nearly one in four male deaths each year.
Nutrition plays a crucial role in maintaining a strong and healthy heart. Diets rich in sugar, saturated fats and highly processed foods can increase blood pressure and the level of triglycerides in the blood, leading to poor circulation and clogged heart arteries. Diets that provide loads of fiber, micronutrients and unsaturated fatty acids tend to be beneficial for our cardiovascular health.
Eating adequate amounts of fish and seafood has also been shown to have a protective effect on heart health. A review of studies published in the Journal of Molecular Sciences demonstrated how consumption of omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA can vastly decrease the risk of developing coronary heart disease through targeting several different risk factors.
5. Supports mental health
Poor mental health is one of the leading causes of death among young and middle-aged men. In fact, suicide rates among the male population tend to be up to three times higher than females. Mental health is complex, and while there isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach to better psychological wellbeing, regular seafood and fish oil consumption could be a significant factor.
To start with, omega-3 DHA plays a significant role in brain development throughout early childhood. A substantial body of evidence indicates that a low intake of omega-3s increases the risk for numerous mental health issues, such as ADHD, autism and bipolar disorder.
In recent years, many behavioural scientists observed that individuals with low serum levels of omega-3 fatty acids report more suicidal tendencies and psychiatric conditions. Evidence in the Journal of Psychiatric Research suggests that ensuring a sufficient omega-3 intake could be an important component in suicide-preventing interventions.

James Bulger’s killer Jon Venables trawled the so called Dark Web to gain access to sickening images of child abuse.
Jailed for the third time today - his first time was for the two year old’s murder 25 years ago and his second stint behind bars came in 2010 when he was found with a horde of child abuse images.
This morning he pleaded guilty at the Old Bailey to possessing more than 1,000 indecent photos of children - uncovered when a laptop computer was found by police hidden behind the child killer’s bed.
Despite his criminal past Venables had managed to gain access to the so-called Dark Web, reports Mirror Online.
There, in the hidden depths of the internet, he had been able to trawl for images of babies and young boys and girls - some as young as two - being raped and abused.
Perhaps even worse than the disgusting images he was able to download, he was also able to obtain a paedophile manual - a vile document which gave him detailed instructions on how to - in its own words, “safely” - have sex with small children.
There will no doubt be many questions asked over how Venables managed to even gain access to the internet, let alone the Dark Web, in the wake of his sentencing today to a further 40 months in prison for these latest crimes.
As indeed there have been numerous questions in the quarter of a century since, together with his friend Robert Thompson, the then 10-year-olds tortured and murdered James Bulger after abducting him from the Strand Shopping Centre, Bootle.
Questions over Venables’ punishment, rehabilitation and the various, failed, attempts to reintegrate him into society.
Together with Thompson, and then both aged 11, in November 1993 they were sentenced to be detained at Her Majesty’s pleasure with a recommendation from the judge they should be kept in custody for “very, very many years to come” - and a minimum term of eight years.
They were both given new identities and taught to keep their real ones secret.
Years later it emerged that Venables had been detained in Vardy House - a small eight-bed section of Red Bank secure unit in St Helens on Merseyside - where it’s said he made such good progress he was kept there for eight years, despite it actually being a short-stay remand unit.
Shortly before his release in 2001, when aged 17, Venables was reported to have allegedly had sex with a woman who worked at the Red Bank secure unit where he was being held.
The allegations - which appeared in The Sunday Times and in a BBC documentary - were investigated and a female staff member accused of sexual misconduct was suspended, never to return.
Venables’ release under his new identity went ahead and he is known to have been living independently by March 2002 - some time thereafter beginning a relationship with a woman who had a five-year-old child, although he denies having ever met them.
By 2005, and now aged 23, his probation officer met another girlfriend who was aged 17. It was subsequently said that a number of “younger girlfiends” suggested he was enjoying a delayed adolescence.
His supervision was apparently reduced - and it is at this point it’s said his excessive drinking, taking drugs and downloading child abuse images took off.
Venables is also known to have visited Merseyside in breach of his parole.
A new probation officer in 2008 noted that Venables spent “a great deal of leisure time” playing video games and surfing the internet.
In that September he was arrested for affray after a fight outside a night club - charges which were dropped after he claimed he was acting in self-defence and he agreed to go on an alcohol awareness course.
Three months later he was found in possession of cocaine and handed a curfew.
But in 2010 he found himself back in prison over possession and distribution of child abuse images - uncovered when his probation officer arrived at his flat and found him trying to remove and destroy the hard drive of his computer with a knife and tin opener.
The images included children as young as two years old being raped by adults.
The following year Venables was handed another new identity.
He was released from prison in September 2013, only to go on to download more than 1,000 sick child abuse images - as well as the grotesque paedophile manual - in a chilling echo of his previous crimes.

She was the woman he wrote Most Beautiful Girl In The World For and he was her first love.
Prince’s ex wife Mayte Garcia said she was utterly devastated by the singer’s sudden death.
The pair met when she was just 16 years old – the singer was twice her age.
Mayte said in a statement: ‘I can’t think of the words of what I’m feeling.
‘This man was my everything, we had a family. I am beyond deeply saddened and depressed. I loved him, I love him now and will love him eternally.’
And referring to the devastating death of the couple’s son – Boy Gregory days after he was born, she said: “He’s with our son now.”
Mayte and the singer shared and intense close bond through their relationship and four year marriage.
However, despite saying she would always love him, the belly dancing beauty said being with the star “screwed” her for life.
In an interview last year with The Mirror, Mayte revealed the singer was her first ever love: ‘When we met I was a virgin and had never been with anybody.
‘I’d always been a very focused dancer and very protected.
‘Prince was my first crush, and my first love, but we didn’t start to get serious until I turned 18. He was very respectful.’
Mayte says she still remembers her first kiss with Prince and saying she couldn’t believe it was happening.
She said: ‘I remember it being overwhelming and weird. Our entire time together was amazing and surreal, and he showed me some incredible things and introduced me to incredible people.’
The pair were introduced backstage at one of Prince’s shows, after he had seen Mayte in a video of her bellydancing.
In 1996 the couple married on Valentines Day – she wore a necklace of his Symbol, which is what Prince identified himself with at the time.
During their time together, she never addressed him by anything, not even Prince.
And she says they never went on a proper date – he wasn’t really a “cinema kinda guy.”
They faced an enormous amount of heartache during their marriage – Mayte was soon pregnant, but tragically the couple lost the son, Boy Gregory, just a week after he was born due to a rare defect of the skull called Pfeiffer syndrome.
She says they were both struggling to process their loss, and ultimately it was the thing that broke them: ‘I believe a child dying between a couple either makes you stronger or it doesn’t.
‘For me, it was very, very hard to move forward and for us as a couple I think it probably broke us.’
After the couple split in 2000, Mayte went on to have a two year relationship with Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee.

In the days before the magic of green screens and Doppler weather forecasting, people with a view of the Baltimore skyline had another method for determining the next day’s weather – the color-changing letters on top of the Art Deco Maryland National Bank Building (now called the Bank of America Building)
Maryland National added the lowercase “mn” letters in 1971. On the north and south faces the letters were permanently white, but the east and west-facing letters were lit with neon lights in three colors.
The bank once gave out cards that explained the system:
When the sign is red
warm weather’s ahead
When the sign is blue
cooler weather’s due
An amber light
means no change in sight
When a color moves in agitation
there’s going to be precipitation
The letters went dark for a few years in the 1970s to save energy, and the blinking stopped in the 1980s. The famous “mn” letters were removed by helicopter in April 1994 when NationsBank bought the building, and they were donated to the Baltimore Museum of Industry.

ALAMEDA COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT - PLAN TO REOPEN
THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
COUNTY OF ALAMEDA
OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA: Superior Court of Alameda County announces plan to “reopen” civil filings, including new complaints.
The Superior Court of Alameda County (Court) announced today that, beginning Monday, May 11, 2020, it will resume accepting nearly all civil, family, and probate filings, including filings initiating new actions. While the Court has steadily expanded the list of permissible filings over the last several weeks, today’s announcement represents a significant expansion of the public’s access to justice. The filing expansion, along with related details regarding mail, drop box, and fax filing, is detailed in newly adopted amendments to emergency Local Rule 1.8a and Local Rule 3.30, and has been added to a revised version of the Frequently Asked Questions list for civil, family, and probate cases.
The Court’s decision to begin accepting and processing nearly all filings is part of its ongoing effort to resume as many Court functions as can be conducted remotely and in compliance with public health directives. That decision also reflects Governor Newsom’s announcement and plan, detailed today, to move the State of California into “Phase 2” of its reopening efforts.
At this time, resource constraints do not permit the Court to resume accepting filings relating to appeals, although the Court anticipates being able to do so in the near future. Further, given the recently announced stay on unlawful detainer proceedings, the Court will not begin accepting filings relating to those matters at this time.
As the current Alameda County shelter in place period progresses, the Court will continue to stand up as many remote operations as possible, including expanding the number and types of remote hearings that will be available. The Court will provide further updates via press release and through its COVID-19 web page and Twitter account.

Keep up to date with our Court Blog that we'll be updating as court updates come in.

An automatic transmission option could follow two years after the launch of the GR Corolla, which will be manual-only upon initial release
The upcoming Toyota GR Corolla five-door hot hatch will be released this year exclusively with a manual gearbox – but an automatic transmission is expected to follow in 2024.
According to Best Car, an automatic transmission – likely a Toyota-Aisin eight-speed torque converter unit – will follow around two years after the initial release of the GR Corolla, which is expected to launch later in 2022 overseas and early 2023 for Australia.
The updated Toyota GR Yaris three-door hot hatch is expected to also incorporate an automatic transmission option, with both vehicles retaining their signature four-wheel drive systems.
The Toyota Corolla will be the next model in the lineup to receive a full blown GR variant which is expected to make more power and torque than the current GR Yaris.
For reference, the GR Yaris currently produces 200kW/370Nm but these figures could be boosted for the Corolla version. By tuning things such as the exhaust system and engine mapping, Toyota could create quite the monster out of the Corolla.
The GR Corolla could target cars such as the new Volkswagen Golf R that produces 235kW of power and 400Nm of torque. Both cars have all-wheel drive, over 200KW of power and will likely be priced similar to each other.
All-wheel drive will be the pick of drivetrains for the new GR Corolla and will very likely share the same setup as the GR Yaris.
Three modes are likely to be available for the all-wheel drive setup: Normal (60 percent to the rear), Track (70 percent to the rear) and Sport (50:50 split front to rear).
The GR Corolla will also be priced higher than the GR Yaris, so we could be looking at a price somewhere around the $66,990 Golf R hatch here in Australia.
The release date has already been leaked as being October 2022 in the USA, so expect to see the GR Corolla on our shores by the end of the year.

From the boreal forest to the tundra; from the Prairie grasslands to Ontario’s Carolinian woodlands, Canada is stunningly rich with flora and fauna. Bio-diversity is our most valuable heritage. With 71,000 species which have been scientifically described and another estimated 69,000 species yet to be named and classified, it becomes crystalline that the protection of our ecological heritage is absolutely paramount. These raw materials are the building blocks of future crops, both food and medicinal. As plant breeders head to the original cradles for the landraces of the particular crops with which they are working, so too, will future biologists come to Canada.
For the First Nations, the rhythm of life was in the harvest and the attitudes towards it. The notion of ‘oneness’ with the earth and its gifts was embedded in Aboriginal belief long before contact, predating the modern concept of “eco-systems by millennia. For the Nuu-Chah-Nulth people of coastal B.C their physical reality was transposed into their culture. “All things are related and interconnected. All things are sacred.”
Throughout pre-contact times agriculture seemed to develop in a parallel fashion across the nation although in widely diverging patterns.
On the northwest coast, indigenous peoples named over 300 plants and among them over 100 were used as food sources, many harvested from particular places within specific regions. The concept of ownership of these sites is coupled with growing evidence of plant management – a term we might loosely call ‘farming’. All along the coast, small plots of land were sowed, weeded, tilled, transplanted and burned to encourage growth. “Northwest Coast Aboriginal peoples were not passive occupants and opportunistic users of the environment.” They managed clam beds, moved tiny salmon, or even the eggs, to streams that needed, what we now call, enhancing. They burned meadows, much as our own farmers burn off the stubble, so that the precious camas lilies could flourish and other plants would grow in order to attract deer and elk. They patiently harvested such foods like herring roe by suspending hemlock boughs into the water and later, when coated with the foamy spawn, they’d dry the roe for use all year round. But when Europeans arrived, with their concept of fenced, geometrical fields, their perception was that no management practices were in place.
In central Canada, the three sisters, corn, beans and squash provided the explorers with a more understandable picture. By the time they arrived, the three crops were being grown together very successfully in companion plantings and their range of cultivation was from what is now Windsor to Eastern Ontario and up to Georgian Bay. About 23,000 acres were under cultivation while another 175 plants were gathered specifically for food and at least 52 others were collected for beverages.
Today’s agricultural landscape is many layered and so complex that few truly understand more than a small segment. However, much of the original palate remains…flora and fauna that populate the wild and semi-urban areas of Canada with edible possibilities…ones which deserve our attention and much wider acceptance on our tables, from wapato and cattails to nodding onions and seaweed.
Canada’s boreal region, which covers 58% of our national land mass, is filled with such treasures. From Newfoundland to the Yukon, Canada is one of the last places on earth that has entire ecosystems still intact. It teems with life….and with food.
This food is Canada’s first natural wonder and it rivals any on earth. Together we are privileged to bear witness and write this extraordinary story of Canadian cuisine. Canada IS food and the world is richer for it.
Excerpt from Anita Stewart’s CANADA: The Food, The Recipes, The Stories (HarperCollins 2008/2014)

University of Exeter Biosciences Department
This project comprised the refurbishment of the iconic and listed Geoffrey Pope building to enhance the research and teaching facilities as well as support the University’s ambitions to be a leading international centre for research and teaching in biosciences.
The completed refurbishment provides: Fully operational BSL3 research suite, 3 high quality research facilities to BSL2 standard, 4 specialist laboratories to cater for all chemical, biochemical and analytical needs, State-of-the-art aquarium, an extended teaching lab, improved support facilities to the teaching lab, flexible school seminar space, an integrated student support office, 130 new desk spaces for postgraduates, 25 new staff offices, improved access to the building and a fully refurbished foyer with networked PCs and wi-fi.
The Aquatics Laboratories/ Aquarium had to be carefully coordinated to integrate with the restricted structure, providing a very close level of control to maintain the breading requirements of the specimens.
Elementa provided full mechanical, electrical and public health design for the project. Key challenges included the delivery of adjacent laboratories with a high temperature differential and placement of new plant within a new underground bunker extension adjacent to the building.
During construction we provided a full clerk of works and commissioning review service to get this complex project to conclusion. This included at the close of the construction/commissioning periods to occupation and operation of the building, a soft landings service to integrate the universities team into the use & maintenance of this complex facility.

kaufmann repetto New York is happy to announce Adrian Paci’s exhibition, The Guardians. Three different videos will coexist in the exhibition space: Paci’s latest video titled The Guardians; The Encounter, shot in occasion of a performance held by the artist in Sicily, and Albanian Stories, Adrian Paci’s very first video, dated 1997.
The three works are elaborations of the artist’s personal experience: born and raised in Albania, Paci experienced the limits of a totalitarian regime, and the consequent abandon of his native land. At the same time, the works open to a level of universal experience: the specific episodes lose their historical connotations, and become the occasion to reflect on wider topics like life and death, the vital power of storytelling, the potentiality of the gesture.
The Guardians takes place in the Catholic cemetery in the artist’s hometown, Shkodra, in Albania. Following a ban of religious symbols imposed by the Communist regime, the cemetery was abandoned for decades, and became a place where couples secretly met. After the fall of the regime in 1991, the cemetery was reopened and new construction of unauthorized tombs started to proliferate, recreating the chaotic architecture typical of post-communist Albania. Within the cemetery renaissance, groups of children were paid to clean and take care of the graves. Starting from these memories, Paci creates an ambiguous dialogue between the graves and the children’s presence. This image summarizes a central topic in Paci’s oeuvre: the tension between the liberating power of individual creativity and humor, against imposed constraints.
Albanian Stories, shot in 1997, uses a similar strategy: in the video Paci’s three-year-old daughter recounts a series of improvised fairy-tales, in which imaginary characters, such as a cow, a cat and a rooster, commingle with unexpected references to soldiers and “international forces”. The child’s creativity recounts through storytelling the horrors of civil war, in order to cope with the cruel logics of history.
The Encounter is the result of a performance that happened in Scicli, a small town in Sicily. Here, Paci gathered several hundreds people from all over the world, and greeted each of them with a simple hand shake. This humble and symbolical gesture is repeated in a rhythmic fashion, becoming a solemn and hieratic ritual. Freed by any subordination to other human activities (like celebrations, condolences, agreements) the gesture of hand shaking is made the subject of the celebration, and expresses all its potential through a sense of openness, that is one of the main feature of Adrian Paci’s work.
