Seriously. How many people actually think “taking a knee” disrespects the military or the American flag? And, Crom knows, why? The flag isn’t a rule book; it stands for the values that have made this nation great. You know, values such as freedom of religion, freedom of expression, the right to own guns, freedom not to be forced to house soldiers, the right to be secure in “persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures…” And that’s just the first four amendments to the United States Constitution. They were passed in 1791.
Here’s an absolute fact: no matter who or what granted you any freedom(s), you do not possess those freedoms until you have successfully exercised those freedoms. For example, just try to buy a new car in Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Maine, Minnesota, Missouri, Oklahoma, New Jersey, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin on any Sunday. It’s illegal. It can’t be done. Even for those with a rudimentary understanding of the American language, blue laws are antithetical to the United States Constitution. I should have the same right to buy a car from any open dealership on a Sunday as the next person has on a Saturday. Stop ramming your religious ideals down my throat; they are yours and not constitutionally mine.
Which brings us to Colin Kaepernick.
Mr. Kaepernick decided to protest the long-standing tradition of American police shooting unarmed black folks. Yes, yes, I know: there’s a mandatory rule that states one must append the phrase “only a few bad apples; most cops are choir boys.” To this, I say bullshit.
Most cops never rat out those bad apples unless it’s their ox that’s being gored. As such, they are complicit in the act of murder, making them accessories after the fact. The police, and probably only the police, can stop this sort of violence, which is a tradition that dates back to before the founding of this nation. “But,” you might say if you’re a cop, “these guys have my back – I don’t want them to balk at saving my life.” I understand that. I appreciate that. But, hey, you know, we’re talking about fucking murder here.
So Mr. Kaepernick decided to “take a knee” during the onset of his work day – he’s a football player, so that means when the game starts. Sadly, many Americans conflate football with the American flag. I’ve never understood that. What if Mr. Kaepernick had been a musician who decided to take a knee before each Grateful Dead concert?
His act caught on anyway. And the man who, as of this writing, fraudulently occupies the White House has not stopped calling Mr. Kaepernick and his ilk traitors.
You know, like Muhammad Ali, who protested the Vietnam war on April 28, 1967 by refusing induction into the United States Army. His license to work in his chosen profession was suspended, and his title was stripped. Ali could not obtain a boxing license in the U.S. for the next three years. Oh, did I mention at the time he was heavyweight champion of the world?
Times change. Thirty years later Ali was given the distinct honor of lighting the Olympic Torch at the Atlanta summer games. In return, he was showered with praise, admiration and respect.
This month, Nike, the people who make really expensive yet extremely popular gym shoes, started a new ad campaign. Prominent in that campaign is a close-up of Colin Kaepernick’s face with this legend overprinted: Believe in something. Even if it means sacrificing everything. The reaction was as instantaneous as it was predictable: the great American right-wing and the great American bigots went apeshit. Amusingly, some of them set fire to their own Nikes. Amusingly, some of these fools didn’t realize Nike already had their money.
Nike put its profits where their corporate mouth is. Kudos to them.
Times change, but I’m not as sanguine about the end to police killing unarmed black people within my lifetime… or yours. And before too long, Colin Kaepernick is going to need some help getting off his knee. Time change, and we all age. Trust me, the knees are among the first to go.
I have a list of my personal heroes; I suspect most of us has such a list somewhere in our brainpans. Muhammad Ali is quite high on my list.
And, now, so is Colin Kaepernick.

text: Breast cancer is the most prevalent form of cancer in women with over 266,000 new cases diagnosed every year in the United States. The various methods used for breast cancer screening range in accuracy and cost; however, there is no easily reproducible, reliable, low-cost, nonradiative screening modality currently available, especially for dense breast tissue. Steady-state infrared imaging (IRI) is promising in this area as it is unaffected by tissue density and has the potential to detect tumors by measuring and capturing the thermal profile on the breast surface induced by increased blood perfusion and metabolic activity associated with the tumor. In our proposed clinical IRI and simulation approach (CIRIS™), women with biopsy-proven breast cancer are imaged with IRI in the prone position. The prone position is able to provide a thermal profile of the entire breast without any gravitational deformation or thermal abnormalities in the inframammary fold. A digital model, created using clinical images, is thermally simulated through a commercially available software using known tumor characteristics obtained from the available magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data. The resulting surface thermal profile is compared with the IRI images. In the three cases discussed here, the digital model was able to accurately predict the breast surface temperature distribution, showing the promise of this approach in breast cancer screening. This preliminary work is expected to lead the way for a larger clinical study in the future to establish IRI as an adjunctive screening technique.

China-based Huawei, which sells to enterprises in North America through the channel, has added BYOD and eLTE broadband trunking to its portfolio.
Huawei said late last week that its new BYOD technology lets employees use their personal smartphones and tablets to securely access the corporate network. The company built its BYOD platform on AnyOffice, so it supports a variety of mobile devices and uses multiple authentication modes for access. It also runs on WAN and LTE technologies, features mobile device management functions and offers mobile apps such as virtual desktop infrastructure, mobile conferencing and secure browser.
Huawei also announced last week the launch of its 100MBps broadband trunking service based on LTE for business continuity and disaster response. The eLTE product targets vertical industries including government, transportation, and oil and mining, and provides voice trunking, video dispatch and surveillance, and location services. The company said users will improve operations and emergency response rates because it is designed for harsh environments. Voice delay is less than 300 milliseconds, Huawei said, and push-to-talk takes less than 150 milliseconds. Huawei eLTE broadband trunking supports frequency bands including 400MHz, 800MHz, 1.4GHz and 1.8GHz, as well as a variety of network sizes, the company said.

Independence Day 2023: 'Meri Maati, Mera Desh' campaign to pay homage to freedom fighters & heroes
Indians will be partaking in glorious Independence Day celebrations, commemorating the day the country's freedom struggle culminated after two centuries of British Raj. August 15, 1947, resulted in the birth of an independent sovereign nation by ending the colonial rule.
Under the initiative of 'Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav', the government has kicked off a special 'Meri Maati, Mera Desh' campaign that has commenced from today (August 9). It not only aims to pay homage to the brave heroes who sacrificed their lives for the hard-earned independence but also celebrate the rich historical narratives of the nation.
Meri Maati, Mera Desh: A tribute to the 'Veers' and ‘Veeranganas’
It is a "tribute to the 'Veers' and ‘Veeranganas’ who have made the supreme sacrifice for the country," says the idea behind the efforts. The campaign will comprise various activities and ceremonies across the country at national, state, panchayat/village, block and urban local body levels.
For instance, 'Shilaphalakams' will be built within villages, panchayats and urban sites (near Amrit Sarovars or local schools), which will have names of the bravehearts (freedom fighters, defense personnel, Central Armed Police Forces and State Police personnel) inscribed on them. Moreover, felicitation ceremonies will also be held to honour the deceased heroes and their families.
Under Vasudha Vandhan, among many other initiatives, these bodies will plant 75 saplings of indigenous species to celebrate 75 years on Independence.

FRISCO, Texas – In the weeks following the NFL Combine, it's customary to begin hearing about so-called 'red-flags' and health concerns surrounding the draft class' top prospects. However, in this Covid-19 world that prevented the Combine from happening earlier this month, that news has taken longer than ever to travel throughout the league. This week, major injury news shook the top of the draft class, and more specifically a Cowboys target, as Virginia Tech cornerback Caleb Farley will miss his pro day workouts to have a procedure completed on his back.
Farley has long been rumored and touted as the highest-graded cornerback in the 2021 draft class, even after his opt out of the 2020 college football season. The extremely athletic and well-built corner (6-foot-1, 207 pounds) has exceptional upside in the NFL which has been well documented among scouts. With Dallas selecting at 10 in the upcoming draft, Farley had been heavily mentioned in the conversation along with Patrick Surtain (Alabama) and Jaycee Horn (South Carolina) as potential cornerback selections in the first round. The upcoming procedure is to repair a damaged portion of a herniated disk in order to relieve pain that shoots down the patients' arms or legs.
Earlier this week, Drew Rosenhaus, Farley's agent, mentioned to the Dallas Morning News that a late-July return is the expected timetable. This will give certain teams hope on his availability for a full training camp and the possibility of a full rookie campaign. This edition of The Draft Show debated what the next steps are going to be for NFL front offices when evaluating Farley's situation and the domino effects that could follow. You can listen to the entire show here:
Greatest Debate: How far does Farley's stock fall after back surgery?
Along with the Farley news, comes the decision that teams have to make surrounding the top prospect. Just how much could this back injury linger into his professional career? Is there enough worry to knock his draft grade? Does the combination of an opt-out season and an offseason surgery require teams to worry even more about his durability? Farley has always deserved the top-prospect treatments in this draft class, but it certainly seems as both Patrick Surtain and Jaycee Horn have jumped the former CB1 without their own health concerns. With plenty of time until the draft, it will be interesting to see what teams decide to do when Farley slips to them somewhere on day one or two.
Cowboys Angle: Still thinking safety in the early rounds despite free agency?
It's been quite some time since the Cowboys have spent a first or second round pick on a safety, 2002 to be in fact. There are multiple safeties in the current draft class that are worthy of a premium pick, but Dallas' draft history and their recent moves in free agency suggest otherwise. The Cowboys have already signed Keanu Neal to provide some extra help in the secondary and are looking at other free agents like Malik Hooker and Damontae Kazee. These actions prompted David Helman to take the 'I'll believe it when I see it' mindset with safety and the draft. A thought process that he is certainly not alone in.
Under the Radar Player: Bryan was right on Notre Dame's Liam Eichenberg
One of the early questions with this draft class was just how deep the offensive tackle class is. Early on, it didn't look promising after the names of Penei Sewell (Oregon), Rashawn Slater (Northwestern), and Christian Darrisaw. But Bryan Broaddus saw through the smoke. Early in the draft process, Broaddus picked Notre Dame tackle Liam Eichenberg out of the crowd even before his weekend down at the Senior Bowl. A solid week in Mobile partnered with the offseason reports from team-to-team have seen his grade rise from a borderline day two pick, to potentially sneaking into the first round.
A new addition of The Draft Show goes live Thursday at 10am CT as Dane Brugler, Jeff Cavanaugh, and Kevin 'KT' Turner join Kyle Youmans to discuss whether or not there are some new options at pick number ten. With the pro day numbers coming across, teams prepare to shift around their draft boards more than ever. Including Horn and Surtain who had impressive pro day showings and could see a significant increase in their draft stock.

The National Water and Sewerage Corporation last week donated various items to the Mapeera Bakateyamba home for vulnerable people in Kampala.
The donations included sugar, rice, posho, salt, soap, blankets, mosquito nets, toilet paper, buckets and jerrycans. Handing over the items, NWSC Managing Director Silver Mugisha said the donation was in line with his organisation’s corporate social responsibility.
“It’s one of the mechanisms for us to give back to our customers. But on this particular occasion we want to work with religious leaders to stop people, especially the rich, from stealing water,” Dr Mugisha said.
Founded by the late Emmanuel Cardinal Nsubuga in 1978, the Mapeera Bakateyamba home is run by the Good Samaritan Sisters under the patronage of Kampala Catholic archdiocese. Located at Nalukolongo, along the Kampala-Masaka road, the home has a hostel with capacity for 300 people. Currently, there are 101 disabled, elderly, destitute and otherwise vulnerable persons at the facility.
Archbishop Cyprian Kizito Lwanga, who is also the patron of the home, commended NWSC for the gesture.
“We are very appreciative of your gesture in this lent period and it has also come at a time when we have Pope Francis whose heart is with the poor,” Dr Lwanga told the NWSC delegation, led by Board Chairman Christopher Ebal.
Earlier, NWSC staff cleaned the hostel rooms and compound. Although frustrated by state institutions over bill arrears, NWSC is one of the few thriving government corporations in an era of privatisation, bringing in good revenues to the national treasury. For instance, Kampala Water alone reported revenue collections of Shs 20bn last month.
NWSC’s public relations manager for Kampala and Jinja, Samuel Apedel, said the corporation had decided to install prepaid meters at all government institutions.
Already, major defaulters such as Mulago hospital, ministry of Defence, Uganda Prisons and Uganda Police have been disconnected. Apedel said NWSC was negotiating with the institutions to have their outstanding bills, worth billions, cleared.

Government and regulator interaction
We recently met a number of members of Parliament to discuss:
Overall, the discussions were positive. Although there are still forthcoming challenges, particularly in relation to the Your Future, Your Super Bill, we remain hopeful that our concerns will be heard and considered as the Bill goes through Parliament.
Research and submissions
We provided our Pre-Budget 2021-22 submission to Treasury where we suggested that:
- the LISTO threshold be raised from $37,000 to $45,000
- the threshold for imposition of the additional Division 293 tax be reduced by a modest amount from the current $250,000
- those members aged 65 or older with a total superannuation balance as at 1 July 2022 in excess of $5 million could be required to withdraw the excess out of superannuation
- the indexation of the transfer balance cap be removed to reduce complexity
- the primary objective of the retirement income system be recognised in legislation
- a Retirement Income Covenant be inserted into the SIS Act
- innovation of retirement income solutions be supported through safe harbour legislation and extending successor fund transfer regime to all retirement income strategies
- the SG regime be extended to self-employed people
- existing superannuation settings be enhanced to help boost superannuation balances of workers with broken work patterns
- SG contributions be paid at the same time as wages.
We also provided a submission to APRA in response to their revised draft prudential standard CPS 511 Remuneration. Some suggestions we made include: Ensuring CPS 511 mirrors the forthcoming Financial Accountability Regime (FAR), clarifying how references to ‘group’ apply to RSE licensees and clarifying the tax treatment of clawback and deferral amounts.
In our submission to ASIC in response to their request for feedback on revised internal dispute resolution data reporting requirements, we highlighted the need for clarity around several data elements, and for adequate implementation time once the requirements are finalised. We also recommended that reporting commence on a six-monthly basis, rather than quarterly.
Other submissions drafted in February include to:
Our Pre-Budget submission was featured in a Glenda Korporaal article in The Australian.
The February ASFA Conference garnered quite a bit of media attention, including an article on GNGB’s cyber security report, released during the Conference. There were also articles around the each of the following speakers’ sessions:

A certain Christmas advert featuring a certain Rocket Man has got us all talking about how some gifts can be more than just a gift. Music, and all the joy that it can bring, is one of these gifts.
Here at Duet Shop we understand that a musical instrument not only makes a great Christmas present but can also be a gift that lasts a lifetime, and no other present under the tree is comparable to igniting a child's love and passion for music at Christmas.
We also understand that musical instruments can be expensive and not knowing what instrument your child may want to play, or whether they will keep up with it, can be off putting in investing in an instrument that may end up gathering dust. That is why all our musical instruments are available on our rent to buy plans from £7.50 per month with the option to return the instrument anytime after three months!
Great Instruments to Gift this Christmas
The piano is a great musical instrument to gift at Christmas. Not only does it look impressive wrapped up under the tree but with hard work and determination it is an instrument that will really pay off. You never know, you could have the next Elton at home!

The violin makes a great Christmas gift for anyone interested in playing a stringed instrument. With the smallest size suitable for children as young as three, there is a violin for everyone!
A great starter violin is the Stentor Student I Violin, this complete outfit comes with everything you could need to begin your violin journey. Full size 4/4 available from £3.02 per month.
Have you got a budding rock star at home looking for an outlet? Then maybe the guitar is the perfect Christmas present for them.
A great first guitar is the Admira Infante Classical Guitar which comes in 3/4 size, making it a great choice for younger players. It is available from £3.73 per month.

Everyone is now concerned about hand sanitisation and hygiene. But, unfortunately, the availability of effective while at the same time freely accessible hand hygiene in public spaces remains limited. We are now improving the situation with our hygiene and service point for places that are frequented by large numbers of visitors, e.g. marketplaces, pedestrian zones, school playgrounds, central bus stations and so on. This high-quality street furniture by HERING Sanikonzept GmbH provides both a hand basin and a dispenser for sanitiser. Its multi-functional character makes this innovative solution ideal for a wide range of applications – but not only that: it may also be upgraded with various features. The following options are possible:
The product may also be modified or moved later at any time.
The use of particularly high-quality materials was important to HERING Sanikonzept GmbH during the design stages. The hygiene and service point employs a robust reinforced-concrete structure. The modern and impact-resistant glass façade blends in well with modern cityscapes and will ensure that the innovative solution meets the demands that are made on durability. Only water, sewage and electricity connections are required to hook the system up.
From planning and construction through financing to maintenance, cleaning and repairs. HERING Sanikonzept has over 45 years of expertise and has already built more than 7000 toilet systems. We currently operate 1500 systems with a range of service modules. Our company employs more than 130 people, split between our head office in Burbach and service support points all over Germany.
Our WC facilities are characterised above all by the fact that they last up to 45 years. Such durability is achieved through the use of concrete for load-bearing structures; concrete allows service lives to be extended by up to three times over other building materials. We also score sustainability points when it comes to running the WC facilities: Detergents that are 100% biodegradable, the reduction of plastic waste by up to 70% thanks to the use of detergent concentrates as well as special coatings, such as our ‘easy-to-clean coating’, to name but a few of our innovations.
The HERING Group is an EMAS-certified company and attaches great importance to ecological construction methods and services as well as the appropriate use of materials. HERING Sanikonzept GmbH convinces with its concept for WC upcycling in the field of public conveniences: The company takes back and refurbishes old, outdated public WC facilities as prefabricated cells. Its self-sufficient toilets for low user frequencies also convince with their ecological features as they are operated without electricity, water and waste water connections.

Sleep apnea affects millions of people yearly and causes sleep disturbances that leave them exhausted when they wake up. With sleep apnea dentistry in Elk Grove Village, you can get oral appliances to correct the problem and manage sleep apnea symptoms. In addition, discussing treatment with your preferred dental professional helps improve your health.
What is Obstructive Sleep Apnea?
Obstructive sleep apnea causes the throat muscles to relax and block the airway while the sufferer sleeps. These effects cause the person to awaken up to 30 times a night because they cannot breathe.
The condition increases snoring as the person tries to get enough oxygen by mouth breathing. Your dentist can explain sleep apnea dentistry in Elk Grove Village and what options you have to improve your condition.
How Do Dentists Treat It?
A dentist treats sleep apnea in one of two ways. First, they provide appliances to reposition the lower jaw or to hold the tongue in its correct position and prevent it from blocking the airway. These appliances manage two common causes of sleep apnea and maintain proper airflow from the nose or mouth to the lungs.
If a patient uses the appliance when sleeping, it cuts down on instances of sleep apnea and reduces snoring. For many patients, these appliances improve their sleep quality and that of their partner.
Sleep apnea is a troublesome condition that prevents patients from getting enough oxygen while sleeping. It’s caused by dental problems or a deviated nasal septum.
A dentist can provide oral appliances to adjust the jaw and improve breathing while sleeping. Contact Brian Homann, DDS, to learn more about sleep apnea treatment or visit today for more information.

DEPRESSOR is one of those bands that had me in awe from the very first time I heard them. I’m just saying that they were the perfect combination of damaged machine-like crust with apocalyptic tones of metallic dirge & destructive riffs. Everything about this band’s sound gets me hyped as fuck, I really dig their album “Symbols,” but unholy fuck, their two demos Depressor (1995) & Grace (1997) are great works unto themselves for sure! DEPRESSOR’s music is rad because it’s just classic, it will never be dated in any way, plus they are really original – when you listen to this band their is no way to escape this fact. The lyrical content of this band hits the bullseye & should be a wake up to all the shitty leaders of the world that their days are numbered. The way the songs are written is just otherworldly; it almost seems like robots from hell chose this as the soundtrack for when they are going to take over the planet. When you allow their song “Mammoth” to invade your mind, you will never feel the same, because that aggro bass line will stomp out any self doubt you ever had. DEPRESSOR is also so epic for the fact that no matter how many dark caves their sound will push your head into, they will still shower you in blackened melody to keep the revolution moving! Today is really your lucky fucking day, because you can download their demos from CVLT Nation. So after the jump, follow the instructions & bring these pieces of sonic terror into our existence!
Not only have I lost my mind, but I have also lost my hearing…call it deafness caused by over exposure to giant riffs. If you don’t know, now you know: POWER OF THE RIFF laid siege to Los Angeles this past weekend & I must say it was fucking off the chain. So many rad bands, for the first six hours I could not even stop to eat. All I wanted to do was to go from killer set to radical set. I was so hyped all day, I was cyco non-stop fucking head banging. POWER OF THE RIFF straight wrecked shop with this year’s lineup, but what really makes this festival so special is that it is put on by people from the scene, so you never felt a corporate puppet master pulling your strings! Yeah I know this event is famous for many reasons, but everyone should know that this festival should be known for respect for humanity – what I’m trying to say is that there are fucking truckloads of positive vibes at this festival. It’s extra cool to see the bands just kicking it all day with the fans, it seemed like we all just checked our egos at the door. Due to the varied genres of music on the bill, you had metal heads, doom dealers, crusty punks, hardcore kids & everyone in between, and they all just chilled in oneness. I can’t even describe how cool it was to be able to bro down with bands that I have been into for a while & be able to have some epic conversation. I did the best I could do – I couldn’t catch every set, but here is a list of the bands I did see: 7 sisters of Sleep, Skin Like Iron, Masakari, Acephalix, Alpinist, Trap Them, All Pigs Must Die & EYEHATEGOD. I took mad flicks of some electrifiying performances, so in order to get down to nitty gritty, I’m going to pick one of my favorite shots from each band & write a small review of their set. It gets better – we will also have a huge POWER OF THE RIFF photo gallery (over a 100 photos) after the jump with even more off the chain photos!
For a band putting out doom metal today, history must weigh down like a planetary body. Black Sabbath, Pentagram, Electric Wizard, Sleep, the list of utterly legendary doom metal bands goes on and on. No genre truly evokes the power of the riff like doom does. Think to the first time you ever blasted Iron Man or Dopethrone, those weed smoke hazed days gone by leave an indelible impression on us that usually turns us into a lifelong doom metal fan. With their latest release, Yob have managed to solidify their spot in the American doom metal canon, entering the pantheon of greats that still continue to pummel us into submission with their apocalyptic riffing. Atma is merely five tracks, but weighing in at over fifty five minutes of music, this is a record that demands you sit back, and ready yourself for a meditation on the power of metal. Like their brothers Om, Yob revel in the mystic. Riffs lead us into a state of trance, pummeling us into mindful submission with their monstrous presence. The very album name here is derived from the Buddhist concept of self, the Atma.
Unholy radness, hot damn, I dig it when doom gets a face lift, because I love the vibrations of Apocalyptic Blues, it quakes my inner ghost to it’s invisible bones. One 7 inch that gets me pumped is Pharaoh’s record that was released by A389 recordings. It’s only two songs, but fuck they are epic songs that are so rad you will just keep them on repeat anyway. Pharaoh has elements that would be considered downtuned for sure, but their sound flies on the wings of more than just one bird. You will not be able to avoid the atomic groove that this band manifests with every note. The riff for “I Murderer, I” is honey-coated and sounds like they baked it under the heat from the black sun. On this tune, Pharaoh lets you know that as a band you can’t fuck with them, because they stretch the soundscape of doom into something that works on a metaphysical & visceral level; put that in your bong and inhale it! The singer is epic awesome – the vocals might sound harsh to certain people, but to me he just kills it with heartfelt conviction every time he busts a note. When playing this 7 inch, you will find yourself breaking out into uncontrollable head banging. “Two Thousand Seasons” is a perfect name for a song that a vortex to a place where the landscape of the Grand Canyon has taken over the world. With all of the light that this band’s music has, you do hear the warning sign that our end is near. So the last day is upon us, make sure to find this 7″ maybe it will let you in on some secrets!
Pharaoh : I Murderer, I
Who kick authority in the balls then punched corruption in the eye & broke the legs of oppression the dynamic duo of CLINGING TO THE TREES OF A FOREST FIRE & NESSERIA. Together these two bands put out one of the sickest splits of the year & it was released on Throatruiner Ṙecord.What’s ultra cool about this record is that both band are masters at sonic destruction but each one them approach the killing of ear drums from a different angel.CLINGING TO THE TREES OF A FOREST FIRE from denver creates music that should be the sound track for apocalyptis .It’s fucking insane how heavy this band is every song has this uber thick wall of desolate bass that just punish you every second.What impreeses most about their bass sounds is that they have so many layers of hate but then dig deeper then you will hear the murder groove which just pushes each song closer to the edge of insanity.CLINGING TO THE TREES OF A FOREST FIRE combine genres to come with a sound that shape shifts i would say every ten seconds.At one point the band pushes your brain into the mud of sludge then breaks out their grind core sledge hammer to whack you over the skull.I can not forget that they have no problem knocking you in knees with a brick of doom plus they brake their crusty razors for some blood letting.On their opening track Opaque CLINGING TO THE TREES OF A FOREST FIRE creeps up on with this dirgy bass before blasting into onslaught of grind damage that will leave your spinning.These are wizards at changing tempos which can be heard on their tune Wrinkled Claws that starts off almost at a doom pace but morphs into 6 different audio beasts.The vocalist for this band is super rad he sounds like cannibals ripping flesh off of the bone & enjoting every minute of it.CLINGING TO THE TREES OF A FOREST FIRE also has thse weird catchy riffs that infest some of their songs & they will embed themselves into your memory for sure.Read the rest of this epic review after the jump!
I swear there must be something in the water in DC, because bands from this part of the country always have a different swagger, and this is a fact – you can hear dating back to Bad Brains, Minor Threat, Void & Marginal Man. DC’s ILSA is a band that brings the cosmic death doom to the party and sets it off til the break gloom. ILSA’s 2010 album, Tutti il Colori Del Buio, released via Contagion Releasing comes from a place of superdelic radness, where the basslines break bones & putrefied screams shatter steel. ILSA has riffs that are apocalyptic & stink of all sweaty basements they have wreaked havoc in. They pull off something really special with this album; it’s like the blues got hijacked by a crazy horde of crusty punx & they gave birth to a mutant bastard sound. ILSA also electrocutes their music with cryptic volts of death metal. They also have one more element in their sonic tour de force that commands respect: they have the knack & knowhow to harness the power of D-beat. Their singer sounds damaged to the core, and seems like someone you would want on your side in a riot. They hit me in all of the right places, and put me in a head lock with their swamp boogie dirge, then they keep my soul captive in their dungeon of doom. They really seem like they are just fucking happy doing them & not trying to be anything they aren’t. Every song on this album bleeds caustic conviction & nuclear passion. I want this band to be the soundtrack to our new Armageddon! Black Flag kills roaches on contact, but ILSA beheads all posers in sight!!! After the jump, check out live footage of gnarly rituals.
YOB and Dark Castle are two of the biggest names in doom today. Both bands are on the incredibly hip and respected Profound Lore label, and have spent the past month touring across the United States. On Saturday, August 6, 2011 these two titans teamed up with labelmates Worm Ouroboros and blackened doom enigma Dispirit at the Gilman in Berkeley for what was one of the best shows of the year. Each band had their own unique sound and aura, which is often a rarity for a four band package. Check out tons of photos of all four bands and a full review after the jump.
One of my favourite memories of listening to music dates back to 2009. We played one single show in Sweden, that meant to drive overnight back to Germany. I had to drive and to stay awake I was blasting the fifth Shining album, Halmstad. Listening to this music while driving through dark Swedish forests was just such perfect combination of surrounding world and music, I’ll never ever forget that. Now the band around Niklas Kvarforth released a new record entitled VII: Född Förlorare and of course my expectations were high – especially since the last record, Klagopsalmer, didn’t amaze me as much as Halmstad. So could Född Förlorare bring back the horror once again?
You can watch the video for the track “Förtvivlan, Min Arvedel” from the VII: Född Förlorare album. Don’t watch it you can’t stand the sight of drug abuse and self-mutilation.
Wow is jumping over 6 unholy fucks and awesome is doing back flips over pure radness…MAN WILL DESTROY HIMSELF is one of the sickest new bands in my universe.The first millisecond that I heard them, they had me hanging on to the killer fury that they conjure up like a puppet on a string. So this is the deal, MAN WILL DESTROY HIMSELF, from Raleigh, NC, just released their album This is a Test via The Path Less Traveled Records. If you can’t tell, this record has me mad hyped! When the riff on “Circle the Drain” wraps around your inner head banging demons, I know for sure you will be hooked. Actually, MAN WILL DESTROY HIMSELF is so good that when I hear them, everyday feels like Saturday. Now I’m going to get my mad scientist on, I’m going to mix the spirit of Rudimentary Peni with the confrontational energy of S.O.A, plus the metallic edge of VOID, and what I would create would still be no match for MAN WILL DESTROY HIMSELF. The vocalist in this band is called Earthworm Poverty, and his magnetic screams & grunts are filled with harmonic agony. Then there is the music – you could say it’s crust, metal or punk, but none of these labels would do it justice, my advice to you would be to hear it for yourself. I will say that every tune on this record is gnarly to the core. MAN WILL DESTROY HIMSELF know how to use speed as a weapon, and they construct all of their tunes with a rancid layer of cosmic melody that will have your face contorting in awe. You know when you hear people that live what they create every second of their existence, so their creations have that special quality that you can’t put your finger on? This band has that. Now I have one more thing I have to do before I leave this planet, I must see MAN WILL DESTROY HIMSELF live. I know these humans must rip the universe a new one!
When bands try to mix genres, a lot of the time they just don’t get it right. This is why I don’t like to put labels on things, because once you do that, you can automatically turn people off that might otherwise be into what you are creating. When I first heard VIT, I’m so glad I didn’t pay attention to any labels, because this is one band that might sound weird on paper. What you need to do is listen to their 2010 self-titled, released via Music Ruins Lives – from the first guitar note, you will be hooked. What links all of the different moods & genres together on this awesome album is honesty in why & what they are creating. For me, this is what VIT’s music makes me feel – when I hear their music, I wish I could move to a rad tree house. The album starts off with a riff that would make Cat Power jealous, then all of a sudden these rad black metal drums come in while a waterfall of melody pours all over the beat. Then the second song comes on, “Swansylvania” – now with this, VIT changes the game a little because they start to break your bones with ultra heavy stench laden doom, but it’s the heartfelt demonic vocal style that punches you in your eye! Their song “The Ascension Ritual” starts off with an old world gothic Americana vibe that had me high the very first moment I heard it; the guitar work on this song is so fucking emotional that it is almost addicting. The tones that the guitar is speaking says a lot about the pain of this world, but fear not, 4 minutes into this epic track the power gods awake to guide you into the darkness. I could write about every song on this album, because it’s that darn radical, but let it be known that VIT is like a mirror that everyone should look into & see who is looking back at them. The power of the open mind has prevailed once again!

North Shore Fire Department crews inadvertently discovered elevated levels of carbon monoxide at the Sprecher Brewery in Glendale while tending to an employee injured by several falling kegs.
According to an NSFD news release:
Bayside dispatch received a call at 4:05 p.m. yesterday requesting an ambulance for an employee who had been injured by several falling kegs.
While tending to the employee, a carbon monoxide warning device attached to a medical kit sounded, indicating elevated carbon monoxide levels. Crews on scene retrieved additional meters from the fire engine, finding readings as high as 120 parts per million (ppm) throughout areas of the structure.
The brewery was evacuated and ventilated. No employees complained of symptoms or requested evaluation from NSFD crews.
The source of the carbon monoxide was determined to be a forklift. NSFD advised brewery representatives not to use the forklift within the structure.

The public voted off Union J from The X Factor in the semi-finals. Christopher Maloney, Jahmene Douglas and James Arthur all go through to the finals next week.
The X Factor saw its semi-final audience plummet with 2.6 million fewer viewers than last year.
The ITV1 singing contest drew an average of eight million during the 90-minute show, as its ratings slump across the series continued.
At this stage last year the Saturday night edition of the show had pulled in 10.6 million viewers.
But compared with the 2010 semi it has proved to be even more disastrous, with the audience dropping almost 42% on the 13.7 million who tuned in two years ago.
X Factor normally experiences a lift in viewer interest as it reaches its climax, but last night's semi-final was actually down 200,000 on the previous Saturday.
Latest ITV News reports
Union J have been voted off The X Factor at the semi-final stage, leaving Jahmene Douglas, James Arthur and Chris Maloney in the final.

…….it’s glitter o’clock.
Buying some of the specialist materials solo can be a bit pricey up front. Workshops have been a great way to either split the costs between a group, or trial the craft before ordering your own supplies.
I love how versatile resin is. We’ve used all sorts: colouring the resin with eye shadow, using up nail art glitters, raiding the hedgerows and drying flowers in the microwave (yes that is a thing!) and laminating tiny pictures with sellotape before casting them in resin.
Silicon moulds and glitter:
Scroll on for all the sparkly goodness…… I have a macro lens and I am not afraid to use it.
The mystical UV lamp of casting magic….

I think it is very hard to be authentic and genuine on social media. While everyone says to “be authentic”…”be genuine”…”be honest and who you are”. It’s much more difficult and complex than just “being”.
I think everyone has spurts of truly authentic moments on social media. But if we are constantly thinking of what type of responses we might get to our tweets, how our posts may be interpreted, if they will get us noticed, will it help create our brand, or just making sure that we sound ‘politically correct” or “intellectual”, how truly authentic are we?
This is something I’ve been struggling with for months now. And I’ll be the first to admit I don’t have an answer to this. If you read through my posts and tweets, you will see my struggle of trying to find my authentic voice while also being a professional, human being, and who I am, and it is not a balance that I have close to perfecting. (At least my cute animal retweets are authentic 🙂 lol)
I’m trying to be as honest as to what I feel and think, but in the back of my mind, many times I’m running those questions through my head and it has made me question if I’m being authentic to myself, especially when I decide to stay quiet with an opinion or a thought rather than “rocking the boat”.
Let’s be honest: One tweet can destroy a person or brand. The limited world of 140 characters and the ability to remove oneself from direct interaction with another human being by using Twitter or Facebook has created an unforgiving and harsh environment where it is hard and almost impossible to always and honestly be authentic.
Sometimes I envy the younger generations coming up behind us. While we all cringe at the brutal honesty and emotions they share on their platforms, and wonder if their posts and tweets will have negative impacts on their college applications or job prospects, I have to give them props for being truly and brutally authentic about themselves and their thoughts and feelings.
At what point in time do we start losing that? The brutal honesty and authenticity of who you are? Is it because we enter the professional world means that authenticity and raw emotions must take a back seat to survival? Is it because we must brand ourselves as educated and that politically correct and upping one another to be more “expert” or “insightful” becomes more important than what you actually feel or believe or even just want to say? And then subsequently, are we really having those conversations that we are always saying we have if there is little dissent because of the lack of honest and genuine feelings and thoughts?
I’m not sure. I’ve always been an emotional person and my Feeling is always getting me in trouble.
I’ve looked through my posts from when I first began using social media. I’ve changed. I don’t share emotions often with the exception of my blog. Yes, it’s hugely embarrassing seeing what my thoughts and feelings on Facebook were back then and how silly they seem now (Let me tell you….Drrrraaaaaaaaaama). But it was what I was feeling and thinking at the time. And reading back through them, I’ve seen myself grow and I’ve actually been learning more about myself. I’ve seen my journey. I’ve also seen myself become less authentic on social media platforms. Part of it is growing up and becoming a professional. But part of it is because being authentic and genuine seem to be more buzzwords rather than actual practices that are acceptable on social media now a days.
I’ll be honest. I love those people I follow who share not just those thought provoking questions, or insights, but those who tell me that Paddington will or will not be the best movie that will come out in 2015; asking for help; sharing a panda photo with me because they know its my favorite animal; or telling me that dogs are better than cats when I post photos of my cat; or not being afraid of sharing what they are thinking even though it may not be popular.
Like I said, this is just something I’ve been thinking about lately. And that ultimately my goal is when I meet someone in person I want them to tell me that “who you are online is who you are in person….in tone, thoughts, personality, and all”. I want them to recognize and know the overly optimistic, panda loving, sometimes aloof, dedicated, silly, mature, complicated, developing, questioning, poor typing, mistake making, eclectic Brian.
And of course, odds are, there is no answer let alone an easy one to this, but its something I’m trying to understand better and find my balance.
Until next time
Peace, Love and Pandas!


In recent years the Ministry of Defence has had to alter how it procured kit. From boots to heavy hardware, new products had to go through months (sometimes years) of demanding tests before being ordered centrally by the MoD. Due to operational demands in recent years this procurement process has had to change drastically, and has been vastly speeded up. On top of that, given the pace that technology is advancing kit that has been in service for only a short time, has found itself obsolete almost as quickly as it came into service. So some items of military hardware that have seen long and distinguished service have also seen their military life come to an abrupt end, or their operational life severely shortened.
One of these well-known and much loved military machines is the Gazelle helicopter.
Back in the mid-60s the French Army issued a requirement for a new lightweight utility helicopter. Sud Aviation (which later became Aerospatiale) came up with an initial design for a five-seat helicopter, powered by a single turbine engine similar in general layout to its already existing Alouette series. This design featured several new and important innovations, most importantly the fenestron, aka the fantail, which gave considerable noise reduction. The rotor blades were also made of composite materials, a feature now widely used in modern helicopters.
This design quickly attracted British interest, which led to a development and production share agreement with British company Westland Helicopters. The deal, signed in February 1967, allowed Westland to build under licence, in Britain, a total of 292 Gazelles and 48 Aerospatiale Pumas that had also been ordered by British armed forces. In return Aerospatiale was given a work share in the manufacturing programme for 40 Westland Lynx Naval helicopters for the French Navy.
The prototype of this Anglo-French collaboration first flew on 7 April 1967. Production started within a couple of years and, apart from military uses, it also proved a big hit on the commercial civilian market. The Gazelle has also been produced, again under licence, by SOKO in Yugoslavia (since 1971) and ABHCO in Egypt. Although the design has been around for many years now, it remains one of the fastest helicopters ever built with a maximum speed of 198mph.
In 1983, two Gazelles were modified to star as a high-tech attack/surveillance helicopter for the action-thriller film Blue Thunder as well as in the TV spinoff series (although that was very short-lived!) More recently, Richard Hammond flew a Gazelle in an episode of Top Gear.
The French Aerospatiale Gazelle and variants
In service with the French Army Light Aviation (ALAT), the basic French army version is the SA 341F. Powered by an Astazou IIIC engine and armed with a 20mm cannon, it operates mostly in a light support role, though the Gazelle’s primary role within ALAT is as anti-tank gunships. The latest variant, the SA 342M, is armed with Euromissile HOT missiles. These latest anti-tank and reconnaissance versions also carry the Viviane thermal imagery system and are named, funnily enough, the Gazelle Viviane. The French also operate some anti-air variants too: the gazelle Celtic is based on the SA 341F and the more modern version, armed with the Mistral air-to-air missile system, again uses the SA 342M variant.
The French have used the Gazelle in many theatres of operations over the years, especially during interventions in Africa and peacekeeping operations. It saw deployment in Chad during the 1980s, the former Yugoslavia in the 1990s (as well as to Djibouti, Somalia in 1993, and the Cote d’Ivoire from 2002 to the present day). During Operation Desert Storm, HOT missile carrying Gazelles were used against Iraqi armour. More recently they were used in Libya, under NATO, to support the Libyan rebel uprising against Colonel Gadhafi’s forces. However, the Gazelle is being replaced in frontline duties by the Eurocopter Tiger, but will still see use in a light transport and liaison role.
The British Westland Gazelle and variants
The Westland Gazelle has seen service with all the branches of the British armed forces and been used in a variety of roles.
Four variants were purchased. The SA 341B variant was equipped to a specification for the Army Air Corps. It was designated the Gazelle AH (Army Helicopter) Mk1 and the first aircraft entered service in 1973. It is this version that has had the most varied roles. They have been used as an air observation post (AOP) for directing artillery fire, Airborne Forward Air Controller (ABFAC) for directing ground-attack aircraft, casualty evacuation, liaison, command and control and for communications relay.
The SA 341C was purchased by the Royal Navy as a pilot trainer and designated the HT 2. Meanwhile the RAF bought the SA 341D as the HT3 training version. These were fitted with the Astazou IIIN and also featured a stability augmentation system and shermuly flare installation. There is also the SA 341E which was used in a communications role and for VIP transport. These were designated Gazelle HCC4.
The Gazelle has been used in combat. During the Falklands war in 1982 they were fitted with machine guns and rocket pods, but these were never used. This is the only time that British Gazelles were armed! Three were lost during the campaign: two due to ground fire while the third was shot down by a Sea Dart missile fired by HMS Cardiff!
They have seen action in Kuwait, Iraq and Kosovo. In the Gulf War of 1991 they operated as scouts for other attack platforms. Throughout the troubles in Northern Ireland they were a familiar sight in skies, used for air patrols. They were also used in a support role by 8 Flight, Army Air Corps for 22 Special Air Service Regiment.
Gazelles flown by the Army Air Corps were recently upgraded with a Direct Voice Input (DVI) system developed by QinetiQ. This allows the aircrew to control aircraft systems using voice commands, and access information without removing their hands from the flight controls or their eyes from the outside world.

The Sharks were the Royal Navy’s helicopter display team, flying Westland Gazelle HT 2 helicopters.
The team was formed in 1975 from 705 Naval Air Squadron, based at RNAS Culdrose, Cornwall. This was the training squadron for Royal Navy helicopter pilots. Made up of six helicopters, all six pilots were instructors and trained formation aerobatics in their spare time. Painted red, white and grey with a shark emblem on the tail fin, they were equipped with orange and green smoke canisters fitted to the skis. In 1977 there was a mid-air collision during a practice flight, crashing two helicopters and killing three pilots.
Now down to four Gazelles, 705 Squadron fielded pairs for displays when the formal team was not available. In later years they were sponsored by Pussers Rum.
The Sharks performed not just in the UK but also in some European countries. Each air demonstration lasted around 12 minutes and included opposition manoeuvres, bringing the rotor blades to within 15ft of each other at closing speeds of over 200mph.
In 1992, the Sharks team was disbanded due to budgetary cuts but 705 NAS continued to provide a pair of Gazelles, simply known as the Gazelle Pair, right up to 1996 (when Gazelles were formally retired from the Royal Navy).
Perhaps the most readily available version is the SA 341G. This is the commercial civil version and powered by an Astazou IIIA engine. They were certified for passenger service on 7 June 1972 and subsequently became the first helicopter to obtain US approval for operations under IFR cat 1 conditions with a single pilot. There was also a Stretched Gazelle developed, which had a modified rear cabin to allow 20cm legroom for the rear passengers.
The SA 341H, military export version, was produced under licence by SOKO in Yugoslavia and powered by the Astazou IIIB engine.
Who else uses them?
Going through this list, you can see just how popular and versatile the Gazelle is:
National Air Force of Angola operates seven aircraft;
Air Force & Anti-Aircraft of Bosnia and Herzegovina operate four (Republica Srpska Police also has four);
Burundi Army Aviation operates two aircraft;
Cameroon Air Force operates eight Gazelles (they ordered nine but one crashed);
Cypriot National Guard’s Air Component has four;
Ecuadorian Army operates about 20 Gazelles;
Egyptian Air Force has over 84 aircraft;
Gabon Air Force has five;
Guinea Air Force has one Gazelle;
Iraqi Air Force has about six aircraft. (They bought a number of Gazelles equipped with HOT missiles in the 1970s and 1980s which were used heavily during the Iran-Iraq war but saw little use during the Gulf war due to Allied air supremacy);
Kenyan Air Force has one in service;
Kuwait Air Force has 13 aircraft (they say their Gazelles were used during the Iraqi invasion, destroying some Iraqi trucks and APCs. Several were captured and used by Iraqi forces);
Lebanese Air Force has eight aircraft equipped with HOT missiles, 68mm rocket pods and heavy machine guns (these have been used fighting against the Al-Qaeda inspired militants of Fatah al-Islam);
Montenegro Air Defence has 11 Gazelles and the police have three;
Royal Moroccan Air Force operates 24 aircraft;
Serbian Air Force operates 61 Gazelles while the police have 13 aircraft;
Syrian Air Force operates 38 aircraft (these were used during the 1982 Lebanon War – the Syrian Army claimed they had large success against Israeli armour with 77 kills, while suffering just two losses. One was captured by Israeli forces, which was tested and is now on display in the IAF museum);
And the United Arab Emirates Air Force has one.
There are more, but these are the main users of the Gazelle.
Where can I buy one?
Obviously, purchasing, owning and running a helicopter is a costly hobby! If you want to fly it yourself, first thing to do is to get your helicopter pilot’s licence. Once that box has been ticked and you have some funds available, here are the options.
There are plenty of civilian versions available. Even some of the stretched versions are for sale. Expect to pay somewhere between £320,000-£340,000 (+VAT) for one of these. I also found some earlier standard-length versions for sale; they started at just £165,000… Bargain!
Check out www.gazellehelicopters.co.uk and www.ldhelicopters.co.uk
But we airsofters don’t want civvy version with all the niceties, we want the hardcore military-spec versions! Well as luck would have it Withams, the well-known military kit disposal people, has (or had) 30 for sale! You can buy individually for between £75,000-£175,000 or buy the job lot for a cool £2,000,000!
Look them up on www.mod-sales.com.
I really enjoyed researching and writing this article. During my time in the tanks, we quite often had Gazelles acting as forward observers and, occasionally, casualty evacuation. On tours in Northern Ireland it was always heart-warming to hear their distinctive sound overhead.
All in all, the Gazelle is a fabulous piece of military hardware with 30 years’ dedicated service. They shouldn’t be kept as dusty museum pieces – they deserve to be in the air.

Amy Shriver Dreussi is an advocate with the Canton area League of Women Voters. The University of Akron Professor was a guest on the Gary Rivers Show Wednesday morning to talk about Issue One.
Ohio Issue 1 on the May 8 ballot would change the way lines are drawn for congressional districts – the people we send to Washington D.C. to represent us.
Ohio lawmakers came up with a bipartisan way to draw lines for congressional districts.
There are a few detractors, but most who have a stake in redistricting think this new plan is the best one legislators have come up with.
