Tonight it’s my pleasure to welcome, for the first time in New York, a double helping of UK dub & reggae culture. Mungo’s Hi Fi are the founders of the Scotch Bonnet label, and purveyors of some of the heaviest sound system style reggae and dub you’re likely to hear on any continent. They’ll be joined by Soom T, known for her work on the excellent Jahtari label. Both artists will be performing on Friday 10/7 along with Subatomic Soundsystem, Liondub & Dub War’s Dave Q at Dominion in the East Village, but you can get a preview when you tune in to the show.
Can’t get enough of that gangsta shit. Yeah, that’s right me and the homies DJ Eleven and DJ Dopeshoes are back with another edition of Str8 West Coastin, bringing a bit of California love to the East side. And this time we thought we’d put together a mix of some of our favorite West Coast classics to get you in the proper mind state. Plug in, let your mind drift, and see you this Saturday at Project Parlor in Bed-Stuy. BBQ all day, and half price drinks til 4:00 PM, so don’t get caught slippin.

DJ Ayres is a Brooklyn don. The Rub, his monthly party with with DJ Eleven & Cosmo Baker, is an institution. He’s one of the most versatile and in-demand DJs in the city, and his debut single of solo productions, I’d Fuck Me, is coming out this week on T&A Records, which he runs with DC DJ/Producer Tittsworth. I’ve been playing tracks from the single for the last couple of weeks, and it’s super solid. And if you know like I know, expect nothing but a top-notch DJ set to rock your party, your automobile, or even your iPhone.
United by a shared inspiration from Sun-Ra and innovative electronic music of all kinds, Saturn Never Sleeps is a new project from King Britt and Rucyl. Those familiar with either member will know that a long-standing straddling of the lines between hip-hop, soul, jazz, and far-out experimentation is part of their collective history. With a debut album Yesterday’s Machine on the way, the duo has been paying visits to forward minded communities of music fans across the planet. They hit Low End Theory this week in LA, and on July 30th they’ll be performing alongside Teebs at Alpha Pup NYC at The Knitting Factory, which is quickly shaping up to be a meeting place for beat heads of taste and distinction. The group has also been kind enough put together an exclusive mix for Worldwide Smash, which we think makes a pretty clear statement ab0ut their artistic vantage point. Listen in tonight at midnight EST for the mix, and grab tickets to see them do their thing at Alpha Pup NYC here. Continue reading
Nick Hook is that dude. El-P calls him a “ginger king.” He’s probably an easy contender for mayor of the East Village. He’s also involved in so much different cool shit, it’s kind of staggering. From his group Cubic Zirconia which will be releasing their debut full length late this year on Fools Gold, to playing in the live backing bands for Drop The Lime & El-P, to his Nextah party w/ Michna to his DJ gigs all over the place, it’s probably safe to say dude doesn’t catch too many z’s. Last time I saw him spin he played everything from Lunice to Suzanne Vega, so yeah, it’s going to be like that. Check the below, which he put together to head out west to perform at the Do-Over & elsewhere for a taste of the flavor.
This weekend is going to be something special. As a California transplant, I have a lot of love for West Coast hip-hop. I also have a lot of love for the great tradition of NYC day parties. So we’re combining the two for an afternoon jump off with two excellent CA-bred DJs joining me on the decks: DJ Eleven of The Rub and my girl DJ Dopeshoes & co-presented with the good folks at Couch Sessions. We’ll have carne asada and other Baja-style food on the grill, a ballin-ass backyard setting, and drink specials before four. Whether you’re a native East Coaster or throwing up a W, come through and party with us! Check the all West Coast mix from Eleven below and get hype!
San Francisco’s Comma has just released the Colortronics EP (on limited purple cassette, no less) on Frite Nite this week, which is also home to Worldwide Smash favorites Salva, NastyNasty, Epcot & others. We’ve been loving “Ken Griffey Jr.” and “Mezcal Hologram,” and to celebrate the EP release, Comma has put together an awesome guest mix for the radio show featuring some material from the new record, tracks his crew of production affiliates, and a tasters choice selection of heavy beats and juked-up bass bombs. Tune in at midnight EST tonight on East Village Radio to check out the mix. If you need any extra incentive, check out Om Unit’s remix of “Mezcal Hologram” courtesy of Fact Magazine. Continue reading
Representing Queens & the Cumba Mela collective, Atropolis is a natural addition to the Dutty Artz crew. His production aesthetic is clean and catholic, and he’s no stranger to seeking out new sounds by heading straight to the source. The Dutty gang is releasing his debut self-titled LP this week, and naturally it features stellar production and a peerless percussion palate. It should come as no surprise that he cut his teeth in the high volume, high production value field of commercial music. Atropolis and some of his Dutty brethren will be stopping in to Worldwide Smash this week to play a taste of the new album, and show us how his crew gets down at their weekly party at Bembe, and other engagements throughout the five boroughs. Grab the track “Asi Asi Asi” featuring Noelia Fernandez below, and look for more jams on his Soundcloud.
Here’s a bonus edit I put together to say thank you for all the support I’ve gotten for the ‘Try Otra Vez’ 7″ on BSTRD Boots. We made it to #1 on Turntablelab’s vinyl charts this week, which is pretty major to me. The Lab has been a huge influence on my tastes and development as a DJ, and continues to be a source of music for my mixes, radio show, etc. I used to read their daily arrivals section obsessively, back when folks like Rocktakon were writing the reviews, and got put up numerous gems, and general hilarity. Just having a piece of wax for them to sell felt like a pretty big deal, and seeing it resonate with folks has just been awesome. Big thanks to everyone whose enjoyed the tunes, wherever you’ve gotten them!
This edit is a pretty simple one, mostly letting the original do it’s thing. I’ve kicked a rough version around at parties for a while, and finally finished it up to share it folks. Hope it helps you add a bit of classic boogaloo to your life. Also, shouts out to Urban Dance Squad for putting me up on the track way before I was checking for Fania stuff. Their video had pretty much everything my sixth grade self thought was cool (I even rocked that Charlie Brown shirt for a while). Continue reading
There’s a bit of Brooklyn in almost every aspect of the Tropicaaliyah project. Brooklyn DJs introduced me to the global bass sounds that inspired the production. My co-workers and colleagues in the borough helped me mix and master it. And … Continue reading

Sideroblastic Anaemia - Anaesthetic Considerations during Emergency Ophthalmic Surgeries
Dr. Shobha Ravishankar
Abstract: The sideroblastic anemias comprise a heterogeneous group of acquired and congenital disorders which that have in common: (1) anemia; (2) the presence of ring sideroblasts in the bone marrow; and (3) impaired heme biosynthesis. Elevation in iron levels is secondary to a deficiency in mitochondrial physiology. Patients exhibit mild to moderate hemolysis due to peripheral red blood cell destruction, and often require regular blood transfusions. The purpose of this case report was to describe the anaesthetic management of a child with congenital sideroblastic anemia—a rare hematologic disorder for an emergency ophthalmic surgery and to emphasize how important it is for anaesthetists and ophthalmologists to be cognizant of a patient’s hematologic profile before attempting to perform procedure. The timing of the patient, s transfusions regarding the scheduling of surgery is crucial for successful management and anticipation of possible complications.

Whether it's an environmental disaster or rumours of bedbugs, embarrassing news for business can travel at the speed of sound.
Today, every crisis has the potential to go viral on the Internet through social media such as Twitter and Facebook.
"If you think your problem might be contained within the walls of your office or your factory, people are talking on Twitter. That conversation is going to spring up there at some point," said Amanda Laird, communications specialist at CNW Group. "Even something like an executive being charged."
Recalling how a Twitter-born claim of bedbugs at one of the theatres hosting the Toronto International Film Festival was speedily scotched by co-director Cameron Bailey using the same website, a quick response is key, Ms. Laird added.
"Even when there isn't anything new to say, you want to be providing updates because otherwise people are going to start filling in the blanks by themselves," she said.
Preparing for a public relations nightmare could make the difference between coming through it relatively unscathed or with a business reputation in tatters, crisis management experts say.
"If you realize in your business model that consumers can either be hurt or impacted in some way, you have to set up your crisis manuals," said Mat Wilcox a brand consultant based in Toronto.
You should always know "the basics, who is on the team and how to get them together at any time," Ms. Wilcox says. Company decision-makers should be on the team, she said, and the smaller it is, the more efficient it will be.
Its members should think about and carry out practice runs, says Steve Kee of Steve Kee Communications. Because, he says, anything can happen. "You can sit around a table, you can do worst-case scenarios, and if you plan 'ABC' it goes off in a 'D' direction."
So while companies can prepare, he added, "there's nothing like actually being thrown into the fire to teach you how to handle a crisis."
That's a situation Dan Tisch, president of Toronto public relations agency Argyle Communications, is all too familiar with. His firm was working with the American Peanut Council in Canada when news of a salmonella outbreak in peanut butter prompted the largest food recall in U.S. history. The council did not have a public relations firm in the United States and asked Argyle to step in and manage. "It was sort of one those once-in-a-lifetime things," says Mr. Tisch.
The company responsible for the 2009 outbreak was not even a Peanut Council member, and had not followed its standard practices. But from growers to shellers to retailers, the entire sector was tainted by association.
The council's response needed honesty, candour and concern, said Mr. Tisch, "but also, fundamentally, on being pro-active, not letting others tell your story for you."
He found that, unlike print media, broadcasters were presenting inaccurate information. Argyle countered by hiring a respected nutritionist and making her available to television. She was "someone the audience could relate to, who could speak honestly and effectively about what was happening, what was safe, what was not, and give mothers advice," Mr. Tisch said.
Twitter was still in its infancy at the time, but the go-to resource for information for most consumers was still the Internet. Argyle created a website, complementing that of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, offering information about peanut products not affected by the recall.
"We got an astonishing number of unique visits as a result of that tactic," said Mr. Tisch, showing how important it is for companies to know exactly which channels customers are using to inform themselves.
Thanks to blogs, YouTube and Twitter, monitoring what customers are saying about your company is now both easier and more challenging. From Google alerts to TweetScan, any business can connect with customers and, said Ms. Wilcox, "have an early warning system if something goes sideways."
Yet too many companies wait for an emergency before setting themselves up in social media, she added. "You really want to track what people are saying about you right now, establish a personality, if you will, in social media."
Many companies also maintain so-called dark sites. They are designed to provide specific information about a series of potential problems, and they can be immediately activated when needed. A blog, meanwhile, may seem redundant if a business already has a website, but as a crisis evolves, it allows for quick updates and customer feedback.
Mr. Tisch also suggested fostering ongoing relationships with regulators, opinion makers and credible experts.
"I don't mean having a relationship with these people so that they like you," he clarified, "but rather one where they know you, and you know them. They know you are a responsible company operating ethically, that if they have questions they know how to get in touch with you."
When a crisis has blown over, it is still not time for a company to let its guard down. News cycles may be becoming shorter, but news stories live forever on the Internet.
Companies should "make the case for change," Mr. Tisch said. "You've been through this significant crisis, your customers' confidence has been shaken, but not fatally, so they're waiting to find out what you're going to do differently, what you're going to do to make sure it's not going to happen again," he said.
Companies focused only on the short-tem financial impact of a crisis "are looking after the present but ignoring the future," he said. "And the consequences of that can be a disaster."

ICND2 2.0: VLANs and Spanning-Tree
Anyone wishing to obtain Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) 200-120 certification that validates the knowledge and skills required to install, operate, and troubleshoot a medium-sized network, including connecting to a WAN and implementing network security. Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices Part 2 (200-101 ICND2) is an essential course for students preparing for the CCNA Routing and Switching certification or the ICND2 certification. Students pursuing the CCNA Routing and Switching certification should attend parts 1 & 2 of the ICND course.Network administrators, network engineers, network managers, network designers, and project managers. Familiarity with network fundamentals, implementing local area networks, Internet connectivity, managing network device security, implementing WAN connectivity and basic IPv6 connectivity is recommended.
Please contact us for information about prerequisites.
This course starts with a review of VLAN and trunk technology. Understanding how VLANs and trunks operate and which protocols are associated with them is important for configuring, verifying, and troubleshooting VLANs and trunks on Cisco access switches. This course also addresses some of the common reasons that port connectivity, VLAN configuration, and trunk establishment can fail. It describes what information to look for to identify the source of the problem and determine how to solve it.
Switched networks introduce redundancy, so an STP loop-avoidance mechanism is needed to prevent undesirable loops. Most complex networks include redundant devices to avoid single points of failure. Although a redundant topology eliminates some issues, it can introduce other problems. STP is a Layer 2 link management protocol that provides path redundancy while preventing undesirable loops in a switched network. This course closes with a review of the problems that are caused by redundant switched-network topologies and the functions of STP that prevent these problems.

In the last article, “Revealing Revelation,” we continued the process of unveiling the mystery that surrounds the word “revelation” by showing you in the Word that your born-again spirit already contains all the wisdom and knowledge of God inside of it. This means you aren’t waiting on God for revelation, and that He’s not withholding it from you. That is great news!
What you need to know now, is how to actually get that wisdom and knowledge you have in your spirit into your soul (your mind, will, and emotions), the epicenter where the realization of revelation, “the eye-opening,” actually takes place. Revelation, that moment of acute clarity when God’s wisdom and knowledge moves from head knowledge into spiritual knowledge, is the difference between habitually saying by memory, “By His stripes I’m healed” and not seeing a darn thing happen, and saying by revelation, “By His stripes I’m healed” and actually being healed. I know this is true because I’ve lived it.
As we saw in the last teaching, unlike your spirit that becomes brand new and perfect immediately upon being born again, your soul requires some work to get it in line with God’s Word. Actually, your mind, which retains the old way of thinking even after the born-again experience, is the ultimate fixer-upper. It’s necessary that you renew your mind, according to Romans 12:2, and renovate the thinking space by ripping out the old programming, the old way of thinking, and installing new. Thankfully, the Holy Spirit has been given the renovation job and you are not on your own. He will guide into all truth, teach you all things, and instruct you in how to let the perfect wisdom of God that is in your born-again spirit rule over your carnal way of thinking.
You already have revelation inside of you.
You just need to learn how to draw it out.
I’m going to show you how.
There are four practical principles you can begin applying to your life today (are you noticing a right-now theme with receiving from God? It doesn’t have to take a long time… you can receive as quickly as you renew your mind to His truths) that I guarantee will open you up to start receiving revelation about the Word. These principles are tried and true. I have tested them myself and can attest to the fact that it was because of them that I started receiving revelation, and as revelation began to penetrate from my spirit to my soul, the Word became alive and active in my life.
PRINCIPLE #1: REMOVE DISTRACTIONS
In this technological age of cell phones, mobile internet, iPads and Facebook, I believe distractions are the number one hindrances to receiving revelation. I like to refer to them as the devil’s Weapons of Mass Distraction. I mean, truthfully, how many of you can admit that you log into Facebook with the sole purpose of looking at just ONE THING, and then find yourself 20 minutes later – okay, sometimes 45 minutes later – not having found that “one thing” and asking yourself what you were looking for in the first place? It is so easy to get sucked into the vortex of social media.
Distractions avert your attention from what is of greater importance onto something, or some things, of much lesser importance. Case in point, Martha was distracted by playing the role of hostess and missed the opportunity to sit at Jesus’ feet (Luke 10:40-42). Additionally, in the parable of the seed and the sower, the seed sown among the thorns was choked out by the cares of the world, a.k.a. distractions (Matthew 13:22). Distractions will keep you from nurturing the Word that is planted in you, which will keep that Word from taking root and bearing fruit. They will hinder revelation.
In his book Dangerous Wonder, Michael Yaconelli said, “We did not want to stop hearing God’s voice. Indeed, God kept on speaking. But our lives became louder. The increasing crescendo of our possessions, the ear-piercing noise of busyness, and the soul-smothering volume of our endless activity drowned out the still, small voice of God.”
If you desire revelation, you have to stop, take a breath, get alone, and spend some time in the presence of God and in the presence of His Word. You might say, “Well, I just don’t have any time!” Hear my heart here. I am not condemning you, but I am asking you to evaluate your priorities. What do you do with your free time? Is it consumed with social media, television or movies? In themselves, those things are not bad (everything in moderation!), but they won’t give you the answers you’re seeking or the results that you’re believing for. I am challenging you to deny whatever it is that is competing for your attention, and instead dedicate that time to Him.
The quantity of time is not necessarily relevant. It doesn’t matter if it’s for ten minutes or three hours. Revelation can come as a result of the quality in that particular quantity of time you have available to spend. It doesn’t matter if you read the Word, pray, or just sit in silence. If you find yourself constantly on the go, always thinking about what’s next on the to-do list, or if you always have some kind of noise plugged into your ears, you will miss that still, small voice of God.
If you want revelation, you have to remove the distractions.
PRINCIPLE #2: ASK FOR REVELATION
Yep, that’s what I meant. Simply ask God for wisdom and revelation. For the longest time, I just didn’t think to do that, but James 1:5 clearly tells you that if you lack wisdom you can ask Him for it. Not only will He give it to you liberally, but He won’t make fun of you for asking. Have you ever asked someone a question and gotten the “Are you stupid?” look in response? That won’t happen with God. He wants you to seek His understanding. He wants the answers you are seeking to be revealed to your soul.
Asking for revelation puts you in an attitude of openness and expectancy. It focuses your mind on the issue at hand. It also gives the Holy Spirit permission to speak truth into your mind and puts your ears on notice to be listening for an answer. You may want to ask a lot of questions, but go ahead – God’s got an inexhaustible supply of wisdom and revelation located right on the inside of you. You can’t wear it out!
Paul prayed for the Ephesians requesting this very thing. I took that prayer from Ephesians 1:17-19 and made it my own. My prayer went something like this:
Father, give to me the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of You. I pray that the eyes of my understanding are being enlightened, and my heart is being flooded with light so that I can understand the hope to which You have called me, the riches of Your glorious inheritance in me, and what is the exceeding greatness of Your power toward me because I believe.
As I prayed that prayer, as I renewed my mind to His Word and spoke it into my life, a confidence sprang up that revelation was coming. As that Scripture took root in my heart, I noticed that the words I was praying began to change. Instead of praying, Father, give to me a Spirit of wisdom and revelation, I was saying, Father, thank you for giving me a Spirit of wisdom and revelation. Instead of, I pray that the eyes of my understanding are being enlightened and my heart is being flooded with light, I was praying, Thank you that the eyes of my understanding are enlightened and that my heart is flooded with Your light!
I started expecting those things in my spirit man to be revealed to my mind. Expectation. As I prayed this prayer, the power of positive expectation started working in my favor. I was expecting revelation. I was expecting understanding. I was expecting to hear. I was expecting to know! I prayed that prayer from Ephesians at the beginning of every alone-time I had with God, and believed that if I asked, I would receive (Matthew 7:7).
PRINCIPLE #3: PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT
Praying in the Spirit (also known as praying in your prayer language, praying in tongues or speaking in tongues) is a critical key to receiving revelation knowledge from God. First Corinthians 14:2 says, For he that speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries. This means that when we pray in the Spirit, our natural mind doesn’t understand what we’re saying (1 Corinthians 14:14) – nor does anyone else for that matter – but God does. Praying in the Spirit is our direct line of communication with Him, and when we pray, we are speaking mysteries.
So, you might ask, if my mind doesn’t understand and I’m speaking mysteries, how does that lead to revelation? Good question. Paul, who is credited with writing 13 books of the New Testament, seemed to have the answer. Paul says a few times in Scripture that he was teaching the mysteries of God, and he clearly states that he received revelation of those mysteries from the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:10).
I believe one answer to the “how” question is this: 1 Corinthians 14:13 says, Therefore let him who speaks in a tongue pray that he may interpret. Paul instructed those he taught to ask God for an interpretation of their prayer language so that their natural minds would become fruitful; in other words, that they would have an understanding of what they prayed. I think it’s fair to assume he was practicing what he preached in that area, and that resulted in the revelation knowledge of the mysteries of God that he preached.
What this looks like in your everyday life is this: You are in a situation and you need to choose between Option A and Option B. Both are good options, but you want what’s best, so you ask God to give you wisdom in making the decision and then you spend time praying in the Spirit with those options in mind.
When you’re finished praying in the spirit, you may ask something like this: “God, I know my spirit knows which way to go and what to do, so I’m asking you and believing for an interpretation of what I prayed in the Spirit.” By faith, it will become clear to you which answer is the right choice. You will have more peace with one than you will the other. You may not get the answer right away, but if you don’t give up, you will get an answer.
I do this all the time. Whether it’s a problem I’m facing or a spiritual principle I’m wrestling with in the Word, I’ll ask for wisdom, pray in the Spirit, and then when I’m done, I’ll ask God to tell me in my mind what I just prayed in my spirit. Nine times out of ten, I will just know what the solution to that problem is. The time when it doesn’t happen right away, I have confidence that it will come. There have been times it’s taken me weeks to get a spiritual understanding of something, but it does come.
As you pray in tongues, the wisdom you’ve been asking for according to James 1:5 comes. That “thing” that you’re seeking a breakthrough for, will actually break through.
PRINCIPLE #4: KEEP GOD’S WORD IN THE FOREFRONT
I believe this fourth principle is the most vital component of them all in the process of receiving revelation: You have to keep God’s Word in the forefront of your mind.
The more attention you give to God’s Word, the less time your mind has to focus on anything else. You must make a decision to look to His Word and His promises to you, then actually believe His Word, before you allow the voice of another to speak into your life. You also can’t expect the Word to become alive in you if you shout out a quick 30-second prayer in the morning and then spend the rest of your day taking inventory of and worrying about what is still wrong in your body or meditating on your poor circumstances.
For instance, if you received a bad report from the doctor, your very next response or thought should be, “What does the Word of God say about that?” And every time that negative report wants to come back into your mind or that symptom shows up in your body, shout it down with what the Word says about it (and the Word has a lot to say about bad reports – whether they be physical, financial, emotional, mental, etc.). Even if you have to counter that negative thought with His Word a hundred times a day, do it. That is how you keep his word in the forefront of your mind.
Now you know four practical principles to receiving revelation, but there are also two additional elements that need to be added in order for them to produce the results you want: application and consistency. Consistency is the key to seeing results as you apply these four principles to your life on a daily basis. Consistently applying them is how your mind will be renewed and align/agree with your spirit man (Romans 12:2). I know this is true because it’s what the Word says.
The Word instructs us on the need for consistency in order to receive understanding. Second Timothy 2:7 (NKJV) says, Consider what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding in all things. That word “consider” implies much more than a casual glance at His Word. It means to think about or ponder. It means to meditate on. When I say “meditate,” I don’t mean sitting cross-legged on the floor, palms up and chanting an incantation. Meditation means flooding and saturating your mind with His Word (keeping it in the forefront). This takes time, effort, and study, but the promise is clear: If you consider what He says, you will receive understanding.
I love the Strong’s Concordance definition of the word “understanding” in this verse. It means a “running together” or a “flowing together with”; in other words, a connecting of the dots. Praise God! As you consider the words He speaks, the dots will be connected between your mind and your spirit and revelation will come.
You may be saying to yourself that you already do all those things and it’s still not working for you. If that’s you, I challenge you to really take a look at yourself and be honest. If you had asked me before I’d received my revelation of healing if I was doing those things, I would have emphatically said yes. But, when I look back and I’m honest about it, I wasn’t applying those principles with any consistency to be able to see any results.
I can tell you from experience that if you will consistently apply these four principles – removing distractions, asking for wisdom and revelation, praying in the Spirit, and keeping the Word in the forefront of your mind – you will get your own revelation, and that revelation will change your life.

text: I’d like to explain where the name “Red Ambassador” came from. There is a meaning behind it, actually. Before I called myself “Red Ambassador”, I went by the artist name “RED 7” (in all caps). That was just a name I had used as an internet name for a while. It was kind of something that stemmed from the fact that I liked the color red and I also liked WWII air force terminology.

Arjun Kapoor has joined the cast of horror-comedy Bhoot Police. The film also stars Saif Ali Khan, Fatima Sana Shaikh and Ali Fazal. Helmed by Phobia fame Pavan Kripalani, the film is expected to go on floors by the end of this year.
While we already know that Saif and Ali will be playing ‘ghosthunters’ and Fatima will be seen as an ‘enchanting woman’ in Bhoot Police, the makers are yet to reveal details about Arjun Kapoor’s character.
Talking about Bhoot Police, a 3D horror-comedy, director Kripalani said, “Ramesh Taurani, Akshai Puri and I are excited to bring this spooky adventure comedy on the celluloid for everyone to experience the thrills and laughs on the big screen.” On casting Arjun and Saif in the movie, he said, “I am thrilled to have Saif and Arjun come together for this entertaining feature. Both of them will be seen bringing their trademark fun elements to the brand new avatars they will portray in this film.”
Ali Fazal and Fatima Sana Shaikh had shared the first look of the film last year in April. Sharing a photo on Twitter, Fazal had written, “The team that hunts ghosts together, sticks together 😉 Meet the cast of India’s spookiest comedy, #BhootPolice.”

The "Sword of Anger Outrage" is Dante Alighieri's sacred treasure.
Outrage is a long sword white sword with a red section in the middle of it with it's symbol in the middle.
Infinity Sword: Outrage's Infinity Sword ability highly compliments Dante's Unlimited Blade. It lets Dante summon an infinite number of swords at one time.
Sword of Destruction: The Outrage sword gives Dante the ability to open a portal to summon a gigantic sword that comes down on the enemy.


The young man next to me aimed his cellophane-wrapped packet of wilting carnations, swung, and missed. The flowers tumbled into the orchestra pit. He stooped down and picked up another bunch and this time it landed on the stage. The leading male dancer of that night's performance, Mikhail Lavrovsky, laid them at the feet of the tiny ballerina beside him. Marina Kondratyeva smiled and said "spasiba" ("Thank you").
The performance of Prokofiev's "Romeo and Juliet" had just drawn to a close at the vast Palace of Congresses in the Kremlin, and now the audience was expressing its appreciation of a magnificent performance from both top Bolshoi dancers.
But alas, it was also a sad occasion, a farewell to the stage, Marina Kondratyeva's last dance. She is now retired and has been coaching young dancers at the Moscow Classical Dance Company.
She went out in a blaze of color, however. She was a magnificent Juliet, convincing the audience of her different emotions: growing up, falling in love, horror at the thought of marrying Paris, the decision to take the sleeping draft , and her desperation at finding Romeo dead.
She proved herself again a lyrical dancer in the style of former prima ballerina Galina Ulanova -- light, flying across the stage with complete ease, acting with dramatic skill, and completing her steps with excellent technique. Her partner, Lavrovsky, complemented her performance with high leaps and fine acting.
In fact, the evening also celebrated what would have been the 75th birthday of his father, Leonid Lavrovsky, who passed on in 1967. Leonid danced the lead in the original "Romeo and Juliet," in the first production of this ballet in 1946, as well as acting as stage manager and ballet master. He was the top ballet master in the Bolshoi from 1944 to 1964 and earned the title of People's Artist.
This staging of Shakespeare's story is a splendid opportunity to see an old, traditional ballet, full of outstanding scenery, marvelous costumes, and great crowds of people. It is slow one minute, with mimed gestures, and fast-moving the next as the stage comes to life in a superb sword fight -- the classic Mercutio-Tybalt-Romeo duel.
It was a most successful evening for dancers and spectators.
We started it by arriving early, mainly to make sure of a program (only 200 hundred printed for a hall that has 6,000 seats), and also to take the escalators to the top floor. There, munching on blinis (yeast pancakes) and caviar, we watched the setting sun sparkle on the gold domes of the cathedrals inside the Kremlin, looming close to us on the other side of floor-to-ceiling plate-glass windows. It is one of the most stunning settings in all of Moscow.
Back in the huge hall, we watched the production which Bolshoi chief choreographer Yuri Grigorovich has restaged across the road in the original Bolshoi (the Kremlin palace is the Bolshoi's "other" stage). Mikhail Lavrovsky and several other top dancers don't like the modernity of the new setting and prefer not to appear in it.
At curtain call the young man tossed up more and more flowers (at least eight bunches). Some reached the stage, others were handed up to the stage by the man in the pit gathering up the music scores.
The young man objected to the woman beside us shouting "Lavrovsky, bravo," and said, "Tonight we only shout "Kondratyeva, bravo."
The curtain calls went on and on -- we lost count after 15 -- and finally Marina came out and took a long one alone. She looked fresh and grateful and made the moment last as long as possible. She floated back to the curtain, lingered a moment, waved, whispered "spasiba," and slipped from view.

Human IL-2 R beta Alexa Fluor® 647-conjugated Antibody
Human IL-2 R beta Alexa Fluor® 647-conjugated Antibody Summary
Accession # NP_000869
Please Note: Optimal dilutions should be determined by each laboratory for each application. General Protocols are available in the Technical Information section on our website.
Preparation and Storage
Background: IL-2 R beta
Functional IL-2 receptors can exist in two affinity states on cell surfaces, the high affinity complex consisting of heterotrimers of the alpha, beta, and gamma chains and the intermediate affinity complex comprising heterodimers of the beta and gamma chains. Individual beta chains and alpha chains exhibit low affinity IL-2 binding, and the gamma chain alone does not bind IL-2. In addition to their involvement in IL-2 mediated signal transduction, both the beta chain and gamma chain have been shown to be required for IL-15 mediated signaling. IL-2 R beta is a member of the cytokine receptor superfamily. Human IL-2 R beta cDNA encodes a 551 amino acid (aa) precursor Type I membrane protein with a 26 aa signal peptide, a 214 aa extracellular region, a 25 aa transmembrane region and a 286 aa cytoplasmic domain. A soluble IL-2 R beta has been identified in the culture supernatants of a human lymphoid cell line, YT, that displays IL-2 R beta. Soluble IL-2 R beta binds IL-2 with low affinity and is not an effective IL-2 antagonist on cells displaying the high or intermediate affinity IL-2 signaling receptors. Nevertheless, soluble IL-2 R beta binds IL-15 with sufficient affinity to neutralize IL-15 biological activities.

The Church of Scientology has a long and undistinguished history of harassing its detractors — but that shouldn't stop the media or anyone else from speaking out against it, cult experts say.

School Buzz: SAB's Meaghan Dutton-O'Hara
SAB's Meaghan Dutton-O'Hara
It’s flattering to be recognized as a standout among your peers. Just ask 17-year-old Meaghan Dutton-O’Hara, a student at the School of American Ballet and recipient of the prestigious Martin E. Segal Award. “I was shocked when Kay Mazzo [SAB’s co-chairman of faculty] and Peter Martins [New York City Ballet’s Ballet Master in Chief] told me I’d been selected to receive the award,” Meaghan says. “I was excited and thrilled to be honored.”
Meaghan Dutton-O'Hara in class at SAB, photo by Rosalie O'Connor
Designed to encourage and support emerging artists, the award is given to two young artists affiliated with Lincoln Center each year. Dancer Daniel Ulbricht and choreographer Christopher Wheeldon are both past recipients.
Mazzo says Meaghan received the award because she’s an exemplary student and dancer. “She’s musical, very coordinated and has a beautiful line,” Mazzo says. “When she’s onstage, she’s got a smile that wins everyone over. She’s a delightful performer.”
As part of the award, Meaghan received $7,500 to be used for career and education-related expenses. Though Meaghan dreams of eventually joining New York City Ballet, she plans to return to SAB and to begin taking classes at Fordham University in the fall.
Joffrey Students Study in Russia
This August, approximately 20 lucky students from the Joffrey Ballet School in NYC will spend two weeks studying at the Bolshoi Academy in Moscow, Russia. The dancers will live on campus and spend five days a week taking classes.

Sixteen-year-old McCallah Moriarty is one of the dancers headed to Russia. “Dancing at the Bolshoi Academy is an experience most dancers dream of because the school is world renowned,” she says. “I’m also excited to learn more about the Russian culture.”
Davis Robertson, director of the Joffrey program and summer program, selected McCallah and her fellow travelers based on their proficiency in ballet technique and their “adventurous spirits.” He says the dancers will be treated to a curriculum created especially for them, and that it will feature classes in pointe, character dance and historical dance. The students will also have to get used to dancing on the Bolshoi’s raked studio floors. “Initially, dancing on a rake is quite an adjustment,” Robertson says. “But, after a day or two you adjust to it. By the time the dancers begin their second week of classes, it will be second nature.”
This is the first time that Joffrey students will have this type of international training experience, but the school hopes that the program will be a springboard for an ongoing relationship with the Bolshoi Academy.
East Meets West
James Madison University and China’s Chengdu University have created a unique partnership. This past April, professors from Chengdu spent a week at JMU’s Harrisonburg, VA, campus teaching classical and folk dances from various regions of China. In July, two JMU professors will return the favor by traveling to China, where they will spend a week teaching modern technique, composition and improvisation to Chengdu’s dance students.
“The Chinese dance classes were physically challenging, but not in the same way that my technique classes at JMU were,” recent JMU graduate Kate Folsom says. “We learned to make unusual shapes with our hands and fingers. They were beautiful, but it hurt to hold them for a long time.”
Kate Trammell, the JMU dance professor who spearheaded this project, says she hopes to build on the relationship with Chengdu over time and that she aspires to bring JMU students to China for more in-depth study in the next few years.
Much of Janelle Ginestra's career has been about helping others shine. She's dedicated herself to supporting and cheerleading her partner, WilldaBeast Adams; the emerging talents in their dance company, ImmaBEAST; and the countless dancers she inspires at master classes and conventions. Her YouTube channel has become a launching pad for young talents like "Fraternal Twins" Larsen Thompson and Taylor Hatala, thanks to viral videos featuring Ginestra's creative vision.
But Ginestra's a skyrocketing success in her own right—an in-demand choreographer, a social media influencer, and a dance entrepreneur, building a legacy one eight-count at a time. It's time for her turn in the spotlight. And she's more than ready. "I want to be a legend in whatever I do," she says. We'd argue that she already is.

I started dance classes at a young age. By the time I was 3, I was training at The Dance Club, and I grew up there. I started with the basics—ballet and jazz—and eventually added tap, tumbling, contemporary, and hip hop.
Early on, I did compete. I remember my first time: I did a trio at a small local competition, and it got first place. The trophy was as tall as I was, and I loved it. I attended conventions as a mini, and had the opportunity to take classes from Travis Wall, Sonya Tayeh, Andy Pellick, and Joey Dowling-Fakhrieh. There was so much variety—I was in awe.

My mom was a dancer growing up, and she went on to become a dance teacher, so I've really grown up in the studio. I started classes when I was 2, and by the time I was 9, I was training at The Dance Club and knew I wanted to dedicate all my time to dance.
Daphne Lee is a queen, and not just in the "OMG Girl Boss Alert" sense of the word. She's an actual queen—a beauty queen. Crowned Miss Black USA in August, she's been doing double duty as she continues to dance with the Memphis based dance company, Collage Dance Collective. Lee's new title has given her the means to encourage other black girls and boys to pursue their dreams, while also pursuing dreams of her own. The scholarship money awarded with the pageant title will assist her as she earns a Masters of Fine Arts degree at Hollins University.
When a choreographer finds a composer whose music truly inspires her, it can feel like a match made in dance heaven. Some choreographers work with the same composers so frequently that they become known for their partnerships. New York City Ballet soloist and resident choreographer Justin Peck, for example, has tapped composer Sufjan Stevens numerous times (last spring, the two premiered The Decalogue at NYCB, to rave reviews); L.A. Dance Project's Benjamin Millepied's working relationship with composer Nico Muhly has spanned a decade and two continents; and when tap dancer Michelle Dorrance premiered the first-ever Works & Process Rotunda Project, a site-specific work for New York City's Guggenheim Museum, last year, percussionist Nicholas Van Young was by her side as an equal partner. Successful collaborations require compatibility between artists, direct and honest communication, and flexible, open minds. But when the stars align, working with a composer can be extremely rewarding.
For ballerinas, it's the dream role to end all dream roles: Odette/Odile in Swan Lake, the type of part dancers spend years preparing for and whole careers perfecting. And it's a role that New York City Ballet principal Tiler Peck never thought she'd dance. Though Peck is one of the world's preeminent ballerinas, her short stature made Odette/Odile, typically performed by longer, leggier dancers, seem (almost literally) out of reach.
Then—surprise!—her name popped up on the cast list for NYCB's fall season run of Swan Lake.

Two U.S. lawmakers have urged the chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the acting chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to establish a joint working group for the regulation of crypto assets.
SEC and CFTC Urged to Collaborate on Crypto Regulation
U.S. Representatives Patrick McHenry and Glenn “GT” Thompson sent a letter to SEC Chairman Gary Gensler and acting CFTC Chairman Rostin Behnam Monday regarding cryptocurrency.
McHenry is the ranking member of the House Financial Services Committee while Thompson is the ranking member of the House Committee on Agriculture.
The letter begins by referencing Gensler’s comments to Senator Elizabeth Warren stating that “additional authorities” and “resources” are needed for the oversight of the crypto industry. McHenry previously raised concerns that Gensler wanting jurisdiction over all crypto exchanges, including non-securities ones, is “a blatant power grab that will hurt American innovation.”
The letter to Gensler and Behnam states:
Rather than regulate innovation and job creation out of this country, we should promote an active dialogue between regulators and market participants … An open and collaborative dialogue with all relevant agencies, stakeholders, and market participants is critical.
McHenry and Thompson explained, “This is the goal of H.R. 1602, the Eliminate Barriers to Innovation Act of 2021, which passed the U.S. House of Representatives in April.”
H.R. 1602 is a bipartisan act that requires the SEC and CFTC “to establish a joint working group on digital assets with market participants, organizations involved in academic research, and investor protection organizations, among others,” the two lawmakers detailed. They emphasized that nothing prevents the two agencies from creating a working group under existing law.
“A working group on digital assets would enable both the SEC and CFTC to explore how to effectively use their current jurisdiction cooperatively,” the letter adds.
While the SEC claims jurisdiction over all crypto-related securities, including exchanges that trade them, the CFTC has jurisdiction over crypto assets, which are considered commodities. A CFTC commissioner clarified earlier this month: “Just so we’re all clear here, the SEC has no authority over pure commodities or their trading venues, whether those commodities are wheat, gold, oil …. or crypto assets.”
The lawmakers’ letter to the two agencies concludes:
We request a response from you and your fellow commissioners describing the ways the SEC and CFTC plan to work together on these critical issues.
What do you think about the suggestions by Reps. McHenry and Thompson? Let us know in the comments section below.

What to Know
Founded in Utah by magician Curtis Hickman, The VOID offers “hyper-real” VR experiences in retail storefronts
Buttons, doors and tools in the experience are all tied to real-world physical objects you can touch
The VOID’s pop-up in Westfield San Francisco Center is showing “Star Wars: Secrets of the Empire” for about $30 per person
Countless articles have been written about the plight of American shopping malls, struggling to reinvent themselves as the likes of Amazon and Netflix lure shoppers and moviegoers out of sprawling shopping centers and into the warm glow of their mobile devices.
This, however, is not one of those articles.
Instead, this is the story of a magician with an entrepreneurial streak, who looked deep inside his dusty book of spells and found a way to turn those struggling shopping malls into something new: a portal to another dimension.
As one might expect of a good illusionist, Curtis Hickman exudes confidence about his skills in the art of deception.
“I’ve designed things used by some of the top magicians,” he proudly said during our interview.
But the kind of illusion he’s decided to tackle in his new venture isn’t one that takes place on a stage, or at a kid’s birthday party. It happens in retail storefronts springing up across the country that are boldly branded, “The VOID.”
The foreboding name, Hickman explains, is an acronym that stands for “Vision Of Infinite Dimensions.” To him, the virtual reality experience The VOID offers is neither a game nor a movie. It’s a fully immersive voyage to another dimension — a far-away place that may or may not exist.
“If we’re going to put you inside of Star Wars, that’s an impossible reality,” he said. “That’s not a reality you can travel to and visit. So we use a lot of magic theory and design behind the scenes to help convince you, even if it’s just subconsciously, that these things are real.”
At more than a dozen North American locations, the $30 half-hour experience starts with a mission briefing before it’s time to suit up in The VOID’s proprietary VR gear. At permanent locations, The VOID can show multiple VR experiences side-by-side. In its new pop-up at Westfield San Francisco Centre, it’s only offering “Star Wars: Secrets of the Empire.” There’s a permanent San Francisco store in the works just down the escalators from the pop-up, along with another store planned for Santa Clara.
As one might expect from a magician, Hickman — The VOID’s co-founder and chief creative officer — is secretive about what goes on in the dark abyss behind the sliding metal doors visitors enter as the experience begins. Wearing a head-mounted VR display with noise-blocking headphones, a powerful computer fitted as a backpack, and a huge battery to power it all, you’ll look ready to blast off into space as the doors slowly close behind you. Sensors on the front of the visor track your hand movements, and haptic devices in the vest jar you with a “thump” if you’re hit by enemy fire.
“What we call the ‘stage,’ the environment you’re in, has all these little props and touchables and sensors that are tracking where you are, what you’re doing,” Hickman said. “We’ve spent a lot of years making (the stage) an environment that we can change up quickly and easily, to allow people to go into different dimensions and different realities without too much work.”
Up to four people can go through the experience together, handing off objects and high-fiving each other as they would in real life. Walls, doors, buttons and objects in the virtual world are carefully matched to physical objects on the stage — a fact that had early visitors to the San Francisco pop-up in disbelief.
“Like, when there was buttons and things, I wasn’t expecting you’d be able to touch them,” one girl said in amazement. “It was very real.”
Hickman said helping players overcome that learning curve, and understand that it’s okay to walk through doorways and reach for things with their bare hands, is where the theory of magic really enters the picture.
“There’s these things called ‘convincers,’ which are sort of these psychological little moments or hints that we put into the experience,” he said. “One simple example is when you begin ‘Secrets of the Empire,’ the first thing we ask you to do is to sit down on this chair. Now, all you’re seeing is a digital representation of a chair that, in your experience, may or may not exist. It’s just a completely digital object. But we’re asking you to trust us and put your weight on it. And so as soon as you do, that digital object has a sense of permanence. It becomes real. And then, the other things around you that you can’t touch — those become more and more real as well. I call that the ‘Path of Conviction.’ And it’s something that magicians do as well.”
The Star Wars experience is packed with subtle cues that it’s more than a video game. Guests can feel the floor beneath them vibrate and lurch as an elevator comes to an abrupt stop, and feel the wind in their faces as they travel across a ravine. Getting dangerously close to the molten lava below, the air suddenly feels hot.
“We’ve even had, on occasion, blind people go through The VOID and still have an amazing experience, because the experience doesn’t solely rely on visuals, but all these extra things as well,” Hickman said.
But the greatest challenge for The VOID, founded in 2015, is that it’s creating a market from scratch, for a type of entertainment that hasn’t previously been available to most consumers. Hickman believes that challenge is a short-term hurdle that his team of magicians can soon make vanish into thin air.
“Honestly, I think it’s gonna hit this tipping point, and it’s just gonna really become a mainstream thing,” he said. “People are gonna decide when they wake up in the morning, ‘Am I gonna go to the movies, or am I gonna go to The VOID?'”
The San Francisco pop-up is scheduled to stay open under the dome of Westfield San Francisco Centre for two months while The VOID builds a larger, permanent home on the mall’s ground floor. To those on the fence about checking it out, Hickman made a bold promise:
“You won’t be disappointed,” he said. “It’s like stepping into Star Wars. It’s as good, if not better than anything else you’re gonna be able to do tonight.”


Arizona officials say six meetings scheduled in June will allow the public to have a say in planning for the proposed Interstate 11 that would connect southern Arizona with northern Nevada.
The Arizona Department of Transportation says it scheduled the meetings as it moves ahead with a three-year environmental study for a corridor between Nogales on the U.S.-Mexico border and Wickenburg northwest of Phoenix.
The department says the discussion topics for the meetings likely will include potential routes for the corridor, environmental considerations and cultural resources.
Meetings will be held June 8 in Casa Grande, June 15 in Buckeye, June 21 in Nogales, June 22 in Tucson, June 23 in Marana and June 29 in Wickenburg.
Arizona likely would follow U.S. 93 from Wickenburg to the Hoover Dam bypass bridge.


“The Shabab have vowed to turn Somalia into a pure Islamic state” — and this is how they clearly believe one should go about establishing such an entity: with mass murder.
“Popular Hotel in Somalia Is Bombed by Militants,” by Mohammed Ibrahim and Jeffrey Gettleman, New York Times, November 1, 2015:
MOGADISHU, Somalia — Islamist militants stormed a popular hotel in the heart of Mogadishu, Somalia’s capital, on Sunday, blowing up the front gate with a car bomb, shooting guests and hotel workers, and then battling with security forces from the hotel’s rooftop for several hours.
Somali government officials said at least 14 people at the Sahafi Hotel were killed in the attack, which was immediately — and gleefully — claimed by the Shabab militant group.
If there is one hotel everyone knows in Mogadishu, it is the Sahafi. Warlords and militants alike used to hang out and plot schemes in the lounge and courtyard while sipping grapefruit juice and pulling apart camel meat steaks.
Sahafi means journalist in Arabic, and for years the hotel has served as the gateway to one of the world’s most dangerous countries for foreign journalists, aid workers and the rare brave businessman. Even in the hardest times, the staff managed to provide clean rooms and good food. Lobster was one of the house specialties, served alongside mountains of French fries. Recently, the hotel was a popular rendezvous spot for officials from Somalia’s fledgling government.
Around dawn on Sunday, witnesses said, a car rammed into the Sahafi’s front gate and immediately exploded. Several Shabab fighters then scrambled into the hotel, shooting guests. A second car bomb exploded two hours later, wounding several journalists and other people who had rushed to the hotel, located at a busy traffic circle in central Mogadishu, to see what had happened. One young journalist, Mustaf Abdinur Safaana, a freelance TV cameraman, was killed.
Among the other dead, witnesses said, were a Somali lawmaker, a Somali Army general and the hotel’s owner, Abdirashid Ilgayte, who used to welcome guests into his office just off the hotel’s entrance and regale them with stories of violence and intrigue from Somalia’s darkest days….
“Mujahedeen entered and took over Sahafi Hotel where enemies lived,” Sheikh Abdiasis Abu Musab, the Shabab’s military operations spokesman, told Reuters on Sunday, using a common term for Islamic guerrilla fighters.
Multipronged attacks on hotels have become one of the hallmarks of the Shabab, who have killed scores in Mogadishu in recent years by overwhelming security guards at the gates and then sending in suicidal fighters. The Shabab have vowed to turn Somalia into a pure Islamic state; most of their victims have been Somali Muslims.
The second half of that sentence is intended by the New York Times to undermine the claim contained in the first half. However, all it really indicates is that Shabab considers Somali Muslims who do not accept it to be heretics or apostates, and thus to be killed as per Islamic law.
Photographs taken by bystanders on Sunday showed a huge hole punched through the Sahafi’s third floor, along with streams of black smoke uncoiling into the sky. Rubble was scattered for blocks. Witnesses said several members of the hotel staff had been hiding in locked rooms, calling for help, as Shabab fighters stalked the smoke filled corridors, looking for more victims….
Mogadishu may be safer than it used to be, but it is still not safe. The Shabab once controlled much of the city, bullwhipping women and terrorizing the population by enforcing a harsh version of Islamic law. But even after being pushed out by African Union troops, Shabab fighters have shown they can strike anywhere at any time.
There is, in fact, no less harsh version of Islamic law. There are just considerable areas in which Islamic law is not fully enforced.
Somalia’s government tried to play down some of the concerns stirred up by the attack. President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud of Somalia said on Sunday, “We want to confirm that such terrorist acts does not mean Shabab’s revival, but in the contrary shows clear signs that they are in desperate situation.”
Yes, yes, they’re striking out in desperation because they’re losing. We have heard this song and dance before.


The article explains the main specifications, datasheet and circuit application notes of the IC LM123, LM323 which are precision 5V, 3 amp fixed voltage regulator IC.
These ICs can be used for generating highly regulated 5 V output with a an impressive 3 amp current output. The maximum input to the IC should not exceed 20 V.
The best application of this regulator IC can be for charging cell phones or smart phones from a 12 V source such as from a car battery, or from renewable energy sources such as solar panels, windmills, small hydro power generators etc.

Colne Make the Play Offs
Colne secured a place in the play-offs with a hard earned point against Droylsden.
The Reds might have taken an early lead on six minutes when Adam Morning was clean through on goal but Droylsden keeper James Coates saved his shot with his feet to deny him.
Colne might have regretted the missed chance as Droylsden looked dangerous on the attack in a tight game. Domaine Rouse was a constant threat and had shots blocked in the Colne penalty area by a hard working Reds defence. And Colne were relieved to scramble the ball away from their goalmouth following a corner after 25 minutes.
But the Reds looked for a goal at the other end with Jason Hart and Phil Dean creating chances and Mark Ayres flashing a header just wide of the visitors’ goal from a corner.
With half time approaching Jack Lynch made a vital tackle to stop Liam Caddick’s run into the home penalty area before Lee Pugh did well to block Luke Daly’s close range shot at the expense of a corner.
Early in the second half Colne thought they had made the breakthrough when Morning’s shot was blocked by Coates and Spencer Jordan followed up to fire home the rebound but the celebrations were cut short when the goal was ruled out by an offside flag.
In the end to end action both sides threatened to open the scoring and Morning’s shot flew inches over the visitors’ crossbar before Simon Nangle came close with a well driven freekick.
Droylsden almost punished the Reds after 72 minutes when Ciaran Kilheeney sent a header flying toward the top corner of goal but Colne keeper Greg Hartley made a great one handed save to keep the ball out of the net.
There was no let up in the closing stages as Colne looked for a winner that would ensure a good position in the play-offs but had to defend well to avoid conceding a goal which might rule them out altogether.
Ultimately the draw saw the Reds finish in fifth place and will travel to play second placed Farsley Celtic in the semi final of the play-offs on Tuesday evening. The winners of that game will play Scarborough Athletic or Ossett Town next Saturday.

HealCommClassic is a raid addon that uses HealComm (LibHealComm). If you use a raid frame replacer like Shadowed Unit Frames, VuhDo, HealBot, etc., it should have HealComm (LibHealComm) built into it already.
You should only get this addon if you like Blizzard's Raid Frames and want healing predictions or any of the other features this addon provides.
- Incoming heal indicators
- Healing communication with other addons (VuhDo, Luna, HealBot, etc)
- Highly configurable
- Feign death indicator
- Custom status text info
- Simple and lightweight
HealCommClassic only works with Blizzard unit/raid frames and you will not be able to see healing bars if you use a unit/raid frame replacement.
- Blizzard's raid frames can become misaligned when players join/leave raid during combat - This issue is a "feature" of Blizzard's raid frames and is not related to HealComClassic. You can download a newly developed fix here.
"attempt to index field 'healthBar' (a nil value)" - This issue is fixed in the alpha version located in the downloads section.
