All the comments below were sent to the band unsolicited. In 25 years of playing people’s special events, corporate functions, pubs, clubs, and festivals, we have yet to receive a single negative comment. So you can book us with absolute confidence.
Thank you so much for last night. We absolutely loved it. The best night. The barman wants to hire you again to come to Gnosall so hopefully you will get another booking.
Hi I saw you last week at a wedding venue in North Wales. I have to say one of the best bands IV seen in a long time the range of different songs was first class and the whole band were first class. An amazing night
I just wanted to say another “thank you” to you & the guys for Friday, we’ve had some great feedback from both staff and their families and we hope to do it again next year.
Thank you to you and the boys for being brilliant yet again.
Hope to see you all soon.
Ann Lomax – ExamWorks
Thanks again for Saturday. Everyone thought you guys were amazing and you really made the night for us.
Just a quick note to thank the band for helping to make last night a great occasion. We have received loads of comments saying how good the band were.
We would certainly like to see you again somewhere when we have more time to focus on the music.
I just wanted to say a massive thank you for Friday night. Everyone really enjoyed themselves and you guys were truly brilliant. Please thank all the band.
Emma – Childbase Trust

Just wanted to say a big thank you for Tuesday night, everyone thought the band was great!

Paddy – Red and Blue Restaurants
Saw the band at The St James Place Gala Dinner at The Lowry Hotel last Friday. They were stunning. A very lively set of songs. They performed Al Wilson’s The Snake – a rarely covered Northern Soul song with Dave moving from drums to vocals. Very entertaining. Hope to see them again.
Just wanted to drop you a line to say a big thanks for last night. as you can gather we all thought you were brilliant and didn’t want you to stop playing. Thanks for making it a really special night.
Saw you guys in South Manchester last night. I knew within five bars of the first number you were going to be good. Plan to start attending your public gigs
Hi – just wanted to say thanks for playing at our wedding in windermere earlier this month. The 2 sets that you did were fantastic, everyone was up dancing and many of our guests have also commented on how good you were. Fantastic to have had such a good band for our evening reception. We would highly recommend you for anybody wanting a good band for their wedding or party.
It was a great night at The Sawyers Arms, fine music, thanks Boys xx
Probably the best covers band you’ll ever see/hear! Amazing energy and great fun. Booked for my wedding before I proposed!
Great set tonight at Headlander… Worth the wait… Shame had to finish so early… Still fantastic … Thanks
Manchester City centre needs you!
Always have a cracking time at your gigs. Love the tunes.
Such a brilliant night as always! …keep us posted on where else we can see you! x
Another cracking gig at the Romper. Everyone just simply enjoys themselves. Really good set. Couldn’t stop bouncing! 🙂
We all got Rompered last night. Saw the band earlier in the year too at the Headlander festival where they topped the bill. Absolutely fantastic , great night and great atmosphere. Ps Jason we got the t shirts too.
The Snapes and Morrises
Thank you so much for playing at my birthday party on Saturday. You were awesome! Great choice of songs, excellently executed. Everyone is still raving about you!
Had AFGM for our wedding. They were fantastic, so many guests came to us to tell us how much they loved them. They got everbody dancing and it was a real highlight of the day for us.
Nick & Katie
Omg the band was incredible !! Loved it and want to hear more please !!!
We hired A Few Good Men for our wedding. They were excellent from start to finish – both with the planning in the run up to the wedding and on the night. They got everyone up and dancing, had a great repertoire and were generally great guys to have there on the night. I thought you guys were excellent – Claire and I can both remember looking round and thinking that dance room at Hilltop looked like a nightclub on occasions – which was perfect and what we wanted.
Ben and Claire Wharin
Seen this band at Matt and Lucy’s wedding – May Bank Holiday weekend. Absolutely amazing, everyone up dancing and singing along. Fantastic!!
This band are first class – we had the pleasure of their company for our wedding in Northumberland and they blew the place away. Jason and the rest of the boys started with Jet – Are You Gonna Be My Girl and then just brought the house down at Newton Hall. We are ever so grateful for what you done for us. We have received so much positive feedback about your sound and your set. Thanks for making the long journey North and East and really igniting our party! Thanks again – L and M
Absolutely fantastic! Every song had the crowd rocking, didn’t want it to end! Would love to see u again! We were at Lucy and mats wedding at Newton hall 05.05.13 x
Great set on Friday night at Rompered – Epic night Absolute class!!
Fantastic night last night – will be coming to see you guys again 🙂

Saw AFGM at cafe artisan last night, they were fantastic, a great night had by all…
Just back and very tired, but delighted with last night and wanted to say a big thank you to all the guys for last night, everyone – young and old really enjoyed it.
Guys, thank you so much for making our wedding rock on Saturday. Everyone keeps talking about how good you were. It was the perfect day for us, and you played a big part in making it special. We are really looking forward to seeing you again soon. Best wishes and a massive thank you again, Simon & Sara Jackson x x x (16 June 2012 Mere Court Hotel)
I saw this band at David & Kirsty’s wedding on Saturday….they were absolutely bloody fantastic…I had a fabulous night. Thanks
A huge thank you to you all for playing at our wedding on 12th May at Styal Lodge.
We had no hesitation in booking AFGM having seen them numerous times in the past. All our guests packed out the dance floor all night which is always great to see at a celebration and is a credit to the band as its hard not to get up and dance when they are playing song incredible songs.
Again, a big thank you for making our day such a great one.
Simon & Holly
I saw the band in the Farmers, Poynton. Best band they’ve ever had on (by some way!) & the best band I’ve ever seen for free! Would – and will – certainly pay to see them again. Great musicians managing an awesome playlist. Well done!
Saw these guys play last Friday (Dec 2011) at Brookdale Golf Club for Julie’s 40th – they absolutely rocked the place. The dance floor filled from the start and they played 2 encores – they have an excellent playlist and know how to respond to an audience – good job guys!
Was a guest at Julie’s 40th. Really enjoyed the band – music was great, a really good range of music. Dance floor was packed throughout. Will hopefully be booking for one of our school PTA events in the future.
Just wanted to say a huge thankyou for making my 40th Birthday party so fab !! The dancefloor was full all night and I have had so many people asking me for your details. Had a great great night. Thanks again!!

You really made our night special and many of our guests commented on how great you were (and some took your number!) thanks again!
Jane and Lyndon
I recently attended a corporate event at the Radisson Edwardian Hotel in Manchester and to be honest was not really looking forward to going. However, how glad I am that I went, the band were amazing and from the first to the last song they played the dance floor was packed. definitely book them for your events – the best live band i have seen and heard in a long while
Thanks for playing my sons big 40. You made the party rock!! Best party band around, great tunes brilliantly played, every one rocked.See you in Preston.xxx
We booked the band for a charity ball we held recently and they were absolutely fantastic. They had the whole room dancing from the moment they started their first song, to the very last. All our clients commented on just how much A Few Good Men made their evening!!!
An amazing band 🙂 end of (:
What can I say “FANTASTIC” professional, friendly and what great musicians. I am a big fan of live music and wasn’t disappointed. There wasn’t anybody old and young that didn’t enjoy the music. Needless to say we all had sore head and feet the next day!! Thank you once again and we hope that we have an excuse soon to book you again. (That just reminded me that I am 40 next Year!!)
Sam and Lloyd
A Few Good Men are ‘the’ band to see in and around Manchester, I’ve seen them gig at various functions in a variety of establishments – and they’ve delivered time and again. I booked them for my 40th and they got a fairly quiet crowd up and dancing in no time. I have never seen them failing to rock at gigs.! They are the best of the best.
What a great night! The music was great from start to finish and you pitched the tracks just right for our mix of ages within a corporate environment. Thanks so much!
Rachael – Astra Zeneca
I have booked A Few Good Men for a number of functions now including corporate balls, private events and weddings. Each time they have done a fantastic job, the dance floor has always been full. They have a knack of reading the crowd and adapting themselves to match the audience, venue and style of party. I cannot recommend them highly enough and will continue to use them in the future.
Holly – Astra Zeneca
A Few Good Men played our wedding at hte Park Royal in Warrington – they were absolutely superb – I’d recommend them to anyone!!! Not only top musicians but top lads as well – glad to see you’re still going strong!! All the best

The soft and malleable suction cup can easily complete the transportation functions such as holding, loosening, and conveying the product workpiece, and ensure that the goal of its effect is not destroyed. The holding force is maintained by the vacuum system. The vacuum can be produced by a vacuum system composed of a motor, a vacuum pump and various vacuum components. It can also be compressed by air according to the secondary vacuum created by the vacuum generator. Come show it. The former one needs to be equipped with a separate vacuum system, while the latter one can use the existing compressed air system software in general processing. Therefore, especially in the whole process of various packaging work, using the secondary vacuum method seems very convenient and economical.
The basic principle of the vacuum generator is: air compression is based on the closed nozzle, the high-speed cyclone ejected from the nozzle entrains the surrounding stationary liquid and moves forward with it, and then generates negative pressure in the receiving chamber, inducing two Sub-vacuum. Such a vacuum system, especially for working conditions that do not require a large flow of vacuum, highlights its advantages. The combination of vacuum generator and vacuum suction cup is used to crawl objects, and the transmission of arbitrary perspective can be completed according to the different appearance of the object. The following will dynamically change the bearing capacity of the vacuum chuck from two special positions, namely horizontal and vertical.

Last weekend I went to Sao Paulo's downtown with a group of friends. We enjoyed some coffee, some beers and some nice spots for sketching.
Ths first sketch is from Avenida Sao Joao, under the Martinelli Building, which I drew some months ago (here).
The rain prevented me from finishing this sketch as I wish.
Later in the afternoon we went to a bar called Cervejaria São Jorge, which has a large amount of paraphernalia - lots of interesting things to be sketched...
No meu blog eu descrevi este dia e os desenhos com mais detalhes.

Lady Isabella Scranton scandalized London by leaving her husband, notorious artist Lord Mac Mackenzie, after only three turbulent years of marriage. But Mac has a few tricks to get the Lady back in his life, and more importantly, back into his bed.
©2010 Jennifer Ashley (P)2012 Tantor
"Ashley works her magic to create a unique love story brimming over with depth of emotion, unforgettable characters, sizzling passion, mystery, and a story that reaches out and grabs your heart. Brava!" (Romantic Times)
Though I am an avid reader and have both e-book and audio of this book....the audio puts you right there into their lives and emotions. Buy the series and just enjoy. The MacKenzies are such strong personalities, but the women really shine.
It was a sweet story and different from most of the 'Scottish or Highlander' type romance novels. The family members and characters in the book are people you will miss. They are a very interesting family.
The say she was whisked away and enticed to elope at her coming out.
Lady Isabella, of course!
The narrator makes this a delightful way to spend time.
read & watch
Yes, the story was good but long time for characters to be apart?
How close the brother are.
I liked the Narrator
No, I liked the flow of the story for the most part.
I think the MacKenzie series is one of the very best! You are with them each step of the story - amazing!
The other 3 MacKenzie Books - the Madness of Ian MacKenzie is the best of all!
The book is so moving and so well read! Angela Dawe is awesome!
Read them - The best Keeper to come along in a long time - what a fab discovery!
I am quiet and love being comfortable. I love curling up in a corner either reading or listening to a nice romantic book.
I gave this book 4 stars because it was good but not as great as the first in the series. It was fun listening to it but not as sit on the edge of your chair, can't put the book down good as I felt with the fist book. The narrator did a good job also though I would have preferred another narrator for this series but well done overall. I look forward to reading other books by Jennifer Ashley.
Many things: The narration was awesome, the story was engaging and exciting. I don't believe there is a woman that would not want to be loved the way Mac loved Isabella, and I am sure most men wish they had it going on like Mac. He is magnificent (after he got over his traumatic childhood issues).
The Love story. The strength that Isabella exhibited is the kind of strength women claim to have, but very few actually do.
She has the voices down extremely well. The sexy scottish accent, the British accent, the confident/sexy tone she gives Isabella and the no nonsense masculine twist of all the males, gave me goose bumps.
No. I wanted it to go on... So I tried but failed to strech it out.
The love scenes were HOT HOT HOT.
I found the first book in this series very clever, with good love scenes and interesting story, but sadly the second book was tedious and I couldn't wait for it to end.
The reader got by in the first book because her robotic style of reading fit with an autistic style of speech, but sadly not in the second. I don't think I will continue with the series.
Make no mistake between my personality and my attitude. My personality is who I am, my attitude depends on who you are.........
Loved the first book and the narrator. However, this book seemed to drag on and the narrator's anxiety ridden voice the entire book made for difficult listening. I don't know why she changed so much from the first????
After a slew of not-so-great romance novels that forced me to flush their memories out with some great science books, I was reminded by a new friend on GR about this series.
I enjoyed this book because it was set-up a little different than most romance novels that I've read. For one thing, the main H/h are already married, however, due to some wrongdoings they are separated. The story reveals their scandalous beginnings and their heartbreaking experiences that lead to their separation with flashbacks while the two characters begin their journey to mend their broken marriage. I like the growth that both characters went through in this novel. Although not overly complex or sophisticated, it was right for this sort of novel and my mood. It was interesting to read about a couple's troubled marriage that didn't stem from infidelity or falling out of love, but rather an inexperienced love. I also liked the banter between the two characters and I realized that was what was missing in the other romance novels that I read before this; the fun and witty banter that make the characters real.
Narrator: Angela Dawe
Dawe does a great job with the accents and the voices. Her voice is clear and her pace is good.I read this book at 1.3x the speed and I thought it was perfect speed.

This study sought to evaluate FITC-conjugated cyclic RGD peptides (FITC-RGD2, FITC-3P-RGD2, and FITC-Galacto-RGD2) as fluorescent probes for in vitro assays of integrin v3/v5 appearance in tumor tissue. A549, HT29, and Computer-3) or mammary fats pad (MDA-MB-435) of every athymic nude mouse. Three to six weeks after inoculation, the tumor size was 0.1C0.3 g. Tumors had been YM155 gathered for integrin v3/v5 staining, aswell as hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining. Six individual carcinoma tissue (cancer of the colon, pancreatic tumor, lung adenocarcinoma, squamous cell lung tumor, gastric tumor, and esophageal tumor) were extracted from lately diagnosed cancer sufferers. Individual carcinoma slides had been deparaffinized in xylene, rehydrated with ethanol, and useful for integrin v3/v5 staining after that, aswell as H&E staining. It had been discovered that the tumor staining techniques with FITC-conjugated cyclic RGD peptides had been easier than people that have the fluorescence-labeled integrin v3 antibodies. Since FITC-RGD2, FITC-3P-RGD2, and FITC-Galacto-RGD2 could actually co-localize using the fluorescence-labeled integrin 3 antibody, their tumor tumor and localization cell binding are integrin v3-particular. Quantification from the fluorescent strength in five xenografted tumors (U87MG, MDA-MB-435, A549, HT29, and Computer-3) and six individual carcinoma tissues uncovered a fantastic linear relationship between your comparative integrin v3/v5 appearance levels motivated with FITC-Galacto-RGD2 and the ones obtained using the fluorescence-labeled anti-human integrin 3 antibody. There is also a fantastic linear relationship between your tumor uptake (%Identification/g) of 99mTc-3P-RGD2 (an integrin v3/v5-targeted radiotracer) as well as the comparative integrin v3/v5 appearance levels through the quantification of fluorescent strength in the tumor tissue stained with FITC-Galacto-RGD2. These outcomes claim that FITC-conjugated cyclic YM155 RGD peptides may be beneficial to correlate the in vitro results using the in vivo imaging data from an integrin v3/v5-targeted radiotracer. The outcomes from this research clearly showed the fact that FITC-conjugated cyclic RGD peptides (especially FITC-3P-RGD2 and FITC-Galacto-RGD2) are of help fluorescent probes for assaying comparative integrin v3/v5 appearance amounts in tumor tissue. Launch The integrin family members is several transmembrane glycoproteins made up of 19 – and 8 -subunits that are portrayed in 25 different / heterodimeric combos YM155 in the cell surface area.1?4 Integrins are essential in lots of physiological procedures critically, including cell attachment, proliferation, bone tissue remodeling, and wound healing.3,4 Integrins also contribute to pathological events such as thrombosis, atherosclerosis, tumor invasion, angiogenesis, and metastasis, contamination by pathogenic microorganisms, and immune dysfunction.3?10 Among 25 members of the integrin family, integrin v3 is studied most extensively for its role in tumor growth, progression, and angiogenesis. Integrin v3 is usually a receptor for extracellular matrix proteins (vitronectin, fibronectin, fibrinogen, laminin, collagen, Von Willebrands factor, and osteoponin) with the uncovered arginine-glycine-aspartic (RGD) tripeptide sequence.1,2 Changes in the integrin v3 expression levels and activation state have been well documented during tumor growth and metastasis.5,7,10 Integrin v3 is expressed in low levels around the epithelial cells and mature endothelial cells, but it is highly expressed in many tumors, including osteosarcomas, glioblastomas, melanomas, and carcinomas of lung and breast.11?24 Studies show that integrin v3 is overexpressed on both tumor cells and activated endothelial cells of neovasculature.11 Integrin v3 on endothelial cells modulate cellular adhesion during angiogenesis, while the integrin v3 CCND3 on tumor cells potentiate metastasis by facilitating invasion of tumor cells across the blood vessels.19?36 It has been shown that integrin v3 expression levels correlate well with the potential for metastasis and aggressiveness of tumors, including glioma, melanoma, and carcinomas of the breast and lungs.19?25 Integrin v3 has been considered an interesting biological target for development of therapeutic pharmaceuticals for cancer treatment,13,36?40 and molecular imaging probes for diagnosis of rapidly growing and highly metastatic tumors.41?52 Only two integrin family members (v3 and IIB3) contain the 3 chain. Since integrin IIB3 is usually expressed around the turned on platelets solely,26,29,30 the integrin 3 appearance level on tumor cells or in tumor tissue ought to be the identical to that of integrin v3.

Thus in line with a reconsolidation hypothesis established human episodic memories can be selectively impaired following their retrieval. declarative remembrances in particular long-term remembrances for episodes that are accessible to conscious recollection (i.e. episodic memory) has not been demonstrated. Reconsolidation effects for human episodic memory are limited to decreased memory for a word list implied by a surrogate index of memory (Forcato et al. 2007 or the integration of new list items into a previously learnt list following a reminder (Hupbach et al. 2007 Thus these studies do not show selective impairment of a target episodic memory. Recently we explained an emotion-induced retrograde amnesia (Strange et al. 2003 a manipulation that provides a potential technique for studying reconsolidation of specific human episodic remembrances. In brief stimuli that precede an emotional event during encoding suffer a relative amnesia in subsequent free or cued recall (Strange et al. 2003 Miu et al. 2005 That is whereas emotional (E) items show a well-described episodic memory enhancement (Cahill and McGaugh 1998 the preceding (E ??1) items show a relative amnesia. Consequently this manipulation (an emotional event) shares with interventions like ECS (Duncan YM155 1949 and protein-synthesis inhibition (Flexner et al. 1963 a fundamental ability to evoke retrograde disruption of memory. Here we altered the paradigm associated with emotion-induced retrograde memory disruption at encoding to demonstrate effects consistent with a reconsolidation interpretation. In two pilot studies Experiments (Exp) 1 and 2 we established that this manipulation found in our reconsolidation experiments (Exp 3-5) could evoke emotion-induced retrograde disruption of verbal memory as indexed by cued recall. In our previous studies we employed aversive words as emotional stimuli. However emotion-induced memory disruption is usually critically dependent on the amygdala (Strange et al. 2003 and the human amygdala shows strongest responses to affective facial expressions (Sergerie et al. 2008 On this basis we elected to present fearful faces as the emotional stimuli in the current series of experiments. The critical obtaining from Exp 1 and 2 is usually that retrograde amnesia is usually evident 24?h after encoding but not if recall is usually cued immediately after the study YM155 phase indicating an effect on consolidation.

The proposal that retrieved remembrances become labile and must undergo reconsolidation as expressed in the reconsolidation hypothesis is usually highly controversial.

Shell's North Sea Jackdaw gas field gets final regulatory approval
The oil and gas company says the approval comes "at a time when UK energy security is critically required" but environmental activist group Greenpeace says the approval could be unlawful and it is considering legal action.
Wednesday 1 June 2022 18:31, UK
Shell's North Sea Jackdaw gas field has received final regulatory approval.
It comes as the government tries to boost domestic energy output in an effort to shield the UK from the market volatility caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Business and Energy Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng said: "Jackdaw gas field - originally licensed in 1970 - has today received final regulatory approval.
"We're turbocharging renewables and nuclear, but we are also realistic about our energy needs now.
"Let's source more of the gas we need from British waters to protect energy security."
Shell said it welcomes the decision and that it plans to move ahead with the field's development, adding that it has the potential to produce 6.5% of Britain's gas output "at a time when UK energy security is critically required".
A Shell spokesperson said: "Responsibly produced, local gas production plays an essential role in the UK's transition to net zero, will support thousands of jobs, and forms part of Shell UK's broader intent to invest £20bn to £25bn in the UK, with 75% intended for low and zero-carbon products and services.
"However, as we have repeatedly stated, this can only happen with a stable fiscal policy and we continue to look to the government for those assurances."
Plans for the gas field were initially rejected in October last year on environmental grounds, but Shell submitted an updated proposal to the Offshore Petroleum Regulator for Environment and Decommissioning in March.
The new plan changes the way natural gas will be processed at the Shearwater hub, to which the Jackdaw field will be connected: rather than removing all naturally-occurring CO2 from the gas offshore, some of it will be taken to the St Fergus terminal, where it will be treated onshore.
It is thought that the gas field has reserves of between 120 million and 250 million barrels of oil equivalent, and Shell plans to start production in the second half of 2025.
Greenpeace ponders legal action
Greenpeace, however, said it believes the permit approval could be unlawful and will consider legal action.
Ami McCarthy, political campaigner for Greenpeace UK, said: "Approving Jackdaw is a desperate and destructive decision from Johnson's government, and proves there's no long-term plan.

Government balancing on environmental tightrope as Shell plans drilling in Jackdaw field
More drilling for North Sea gas is an unrealistic strategy for cutting energy prices, Alok Sharma says
"They could immediately shave billions off bills, get a grip on UK energy demand, create thousands of jobs, boost our economy, tackle the climate crisis and avoid future crises - if they just upgrade homes to be warmer and greener, and invest in clean and cheap renewable power.
"But instead, once again, they're handing out lucrative permits to the likes of Shell for a project that won't start producing gas for years, that won't lower our bills, but will create massive emissions causing deadly flooding and wildfires, and mass migration from people fleeing the climate crisis.
"This government has shown no regard for these emissions, or Jackdaw's ultimate climate impact. We think that's unlawful, we're looking at legal action to stop Jackdaw, and fight this every step of the way."

Honda currently supplies engines to Red Bull Racing and AlphaTauri, but these haven't worn Honda branding since 2021, when the firm took a step back from F1.
The Japanese manufacturer said new rules that will be introduced to F1 from 2026 are “consistent with the direction Honda has been taking toward the realisation of carbon neutrality”. The firm is targeting carbon neutrality by 2030.
From 2026, F1 engines will continue to be built around turbocharged 1.6-litre V6 engines, but 50% of their power will need to be electric (compared with 20% this year). They will also be required to run on 100% sustainable fuel.
Honda CEO Toshihiro Mibe said: “One of the key reasons for our decision to take up the new challenge in F1 is that the world’s pinnacle form of racing is striving to become a sustainable racing series, which is in line with the direction Honda is aiming toward carbon neutrality.”
Honda also indicated the new regulations would help inform the development of its road cars. The firm is currently anticipating the arrival of its e:Ny1 SUV and recently defended its slowed transition to an all-electric model line-up.
Aston Martin, whose drivers finished 12th and 15th in the Formula 1 standings last season, said the partnership is “exciting” and a key step in its push for success in the sport. Aston Martin finished seventh out of 10 teams in the 2022 constructors' championship but is currently lying second in the 2023 series.
Martin Whitmarsh, Aston Martin Performance Technologies boss, said: “Aston Martin is building a team to win in F1. We have been recruiting the right people and investing in the required facilities and developing the right culture and processes to win.

On the evening of January 29, I found myself in the Roundhouse Community Centre for the Brubacher/Spooner/Tannahill production of Concord Floral as part of the 2017 PuSh Festival. There was no show program handed out; instead, a photography exhibition featuring portraits of the teenage cast from each of their past productions across Canada taken in their individual bedroom gave the audience a sneak peak of the young performers and their personality. I found a seat in the centre of the house with a great view of the entire set, which consisted of a square grass turf and a tube of fluorescent light that separated the audience from the stage. The original architecture of this studio is perfect for the show; the brick walls and the metal cross-beams in front of each covered windows barely visible from the audience models the one-million square-foot abandoned greenhouse that the play is set in. The vast, empty, unlit space between the walls and the small grass turf downstage (where most of the actions took place) was especially eerie, and allowed Bobby – the dead girl whose found-body kicks off the story – to slowly pace around the stage as the play progresses. The fluorescent light downstage looked like it belonged in this greenhouse as well: ugly, artificial, and unsettlingly bright.
This Governor-General-Literature-Award-nominated (2016) thriller written by Jordan Tannahill centers around a group of high school teenagers after two girls discover a dead body at Concord Floral, the abandoned greenhouse where all of them hang out. The narrator, who speaks from the perspective of the greenhouse, introduces the chronological events of the story. Each character delivers a monologue to the audience at some point, either as themselves, or as an object or animal that is part of the greenhouse. Tannahill does not shy away from mature subject matter and chooses to be brutally honest with the stories they tell, which makes these teenage characters incredibly real and relatable.
With Tannahill’s writing and Erin Brubacher’s direction, the cast – age 17 in average – performed with ease, groundedness, and confidence: qualities that are difficult to achieve even for college-level theatre school students. I learned from the post-show talkback with the cast that part of Brubacher’s intention was to get the youths to be comfortable with their own voice, and bring as much of their personality into the character they portray. It was clear to us that this made a huge difference in the believability of their performance. With a large portion of this play being monologues address to the audience, the fourth wall is often broken, which really tested this young cast’s ability to capture the audience’s attention. As I’m learning in theatre school to never play the end of the scene, these actors were always present and took their time with their delivery. They performed with confidence and grace while making sure that we heard every single word they said. It was this constant subtle check-in with the audience that kept us engaged and invested in their dialogues.
Lights and sound also played a big role in this production. Since the whole cast stayed in a single line along the upstage of the turf for the whole play, a line of Source-Fours right above the actors was a signature lighting look for the play, where we could barely make out their faces but only a silhouette of their shape. The contrast between complete blackout and the occasional white light flashes as Bobby haunts the teenagers’ dream was an example of how lighting heightened the thriller. The most memorable scene for me was a character’s seizure on the ground. A single spotlight lit her face as she rapidly spat out her stream of consciousness continuously for thirty seconds, while all the other characters created a soundscape with an “ah” sound that rose in pitch and volume as the seizure escalated. Soundscapes for the most part consisted of drone sounds and a soprano vocal score with chorus effect; the impending danger present in the narrative made the pureness in the vocal oddly eerie.
Overall, I found Concord Floral to be engaging and gripping, and kept me at the edge of my seat. I am thankful for Tannahill, Brubacher, and the producing team’s efforts to cast only teenagers for every production of this play. As a result, not only did Concord Floral showcase the emerging talents of the city, it also validated the universal and serious themes that are present in teenagers’ lives that demand our attention: As the narrator mentions in the play, the youths today are more than just stereotypically apathetic.

Mittelbau-Dora was an underground rocket-assembly camp in the middle of Germany. It was a death camp without gas chambers. Its workers worked and lived like moles in the bowels of a damp, dark, cold mountain. In the short time that it existed, both in the main camp and the sub-camps, approximately 20,000 of the 60,000 prisoners died. Because the camp developed rockets used in warfare, it was subject to extensive bombing by the Allies trying to eliminate it and for “payback.” Because this is an anthropological examination of the Nazi camp, it is less about events than it is about how people find meaning in the events: how that meaning is produced; and how and by what means it changes over time. The memory of this camp has been maintained by people living and working in many countries and under a variety of political regimes, including a divided Germany. The official records are but the architecture upon which anthropology hangs “fragments” of documentation. Poems, mementos, memoirs, and oral histories are what it values and there are many moving examples of each here. One cannot help but note that the Nazi scientists were brought into the United States to lead its space explorations, a fact kept in mind by Eli Rosenbaum, director of its Office of Special Investigations (O.S.I.). For the past three decades, he has kept Mittelbau-Dora in mind, as he built a case against Arthur Rudoph, who managed the U.S. Pershing Missile program and the Saturn V program, which developed the first rocket to the moon. Rudolph had been a member of the Nazi party two years before Hitler took office. In Mittelwerk, he had voluntarily watched the slow strangulation by hanging of prisoners accused of sabotage. In all, this is a fascinating account of a period of history and the people who experienced the horror and heroism of the era. Bibliography, index, photographs.

It isn't as good as his previous 2 releases, Reasonable Doubt being certified classic by just about everyone who has heard it, and In My Lifetime being the most underrated album in the last decade, but it certainly does not disappoint.
'Hard Knock Life', the title track, won Jay-Z critical acclaim and heavy airplay all over America. It samples the chorus from the musical Annie, and with Jay-Z over the top of a simple drum and bass beat, it is an instant classic.
The next 2 songs, 'Ride Or Die' and 'If I Should Die' take it back to his hustling days, but give it a more mainstream feel than what he produced on his debut. The only criticism here is the theme of death being done twice in a row, but both songs are tight and produced well.
'Nigga What, Nigga Who' takes Jay-Z way back to his very early days when he used to rap as fast as Busta Rhymes, a style we virtually never see on his released work. The lyrics are great, delivered fast, and the collabo with Jaz O is a nice touch. Overall, a very underrated single, definitely deserved to perform better.
The next song, 'Money Cash Hoes', is definitely the beginning of the new Jay-Z focus. In later music, he enjoys flexing his masoginistic muscles, as well as flaunting the fact he is extremely rich. He got a lot of criticism over this song, and despite that and the theme of the song, it is still solid, and keeping in with Jay-Z's changing lifestyle. Good verse from DMX on there too.
The rest of the album is extremely solid. 'A Week Ago' showcases Jay-Z's storytelling ability, which we don't see enough anymore, 'Can I Get A...Read more ›
Hard Knock Life Vol. 2 is, in my eyes, the best overall mainstream attempt by an originally underground artist. He uses the likes of producers from MANY backgrounds to give a very diverse sound that always sounds the right pitch in my ears. His first two albums were introducing one of the greats and Hard Knock Life signalled that Jay was here to stay.
This album was for sure the first to give Jay MAJOR air and video play. It was through this album that I was introduced to Jay and his unique sound and for many others, I'm SURE.
Intro f/ Memphis Bleek: Nice bad-ass intro making Jay appear to be some supreme gangster that can't be touched. Bleek [Jay's protege] rides the Primo beat very well in his first return on a Jay album since Reasonable Doubt [he was, like what, 15 when he debuted on that].
Hard Knock Life: I would have thought that using the theme from Annie would be corny and useless but, in a strange way, he uses it to make his hot lyrics and delivery much harder. His 1st signle is a sure-shot-hit that will stick in your head.
If I Should Die f/ Da Ranjahz: Hot song produced by Swizz Beats. Jay provied a classic and Da Ranjahz, whoever they are, are tight as well. They talk about what it would be like if they died and how to leave their legacies going. One of my favorites from the album.

Jay-Z's third album Hard Knock life was a boost in his commercial sucess. More money, more cash, more hoes...and what not comming to him. Ironically, he decides to take a dive in the subject on the song "Money, Cash, Hoes". His second single "Hard Knock Life" was a rememberable song, because it was played on the radio. No problem with that, but it was stuck in my head. "N***a What?, N***a Who?" (or Jigga What? Jigga Who?) is a fast paced song featuring Jaz-O and Amil. I have the edited version of this CD, and for some reason they took out the entire hook to the song, so I'm just left with blank spots as the chorus and Amil comming in as the song fades out. One of my favorite tracks is "Reservoir Dogs" with The Lox, Beanie Sigel, and Sauce Money. Another favorite track is "It's Alright" with Memphis Bleek, rapping decent, but the beat makes the song more enjoyable.
There are a few skippable tracks though. "Comming Of Age (Da Sequel)" is okay, but I like the first one on the Reasonable Doubt album. "Ride Or Die" and "If I Should Die" both sounds dry and slapped together. "Paper Chase" isn't all that good because Foxy Brown spits some trashy rhymes in the beginning. The well known hit "Can I Get A..." from the Rush Hour OST. I have the radio edited version of this album, but I've also heard the explicit version to the song and it sounds trashy because of it's heavy vulgarity (mostly comming from Amil).
Those are the only flaws on this album. Other than that, if you love Jay-Z or mainstream 1998 rap music, I recommend this to you.

Title: The Wedding Soup Murder
Author: Rosie Genova
Series: Book 2 An Italian Kitchen Mystery
Genre: cozy Mystery
Source: Received for Review From Author
Reviewed By: Tina
Mystery writer, Vic is back at home on the Jersey Shore and working in her Nonna's Italian Restaurant, Casa Lido and she wants to learn the business, she's also trying to learn the business along side her ex-lover, Tim who also works in the kitchen.With permission from her grandmother, she gets to prepare the meatballs for the family Italian wedding soup, that any Italian would savor, Vic and Tim are to cater for a wedding reception at the Belmont Beach Country Club.
Once at the country club Vic gets more than she bargained for when she has to deal with the demanding bride, and some arrogant chefs in the kitchen. The President of the Belmont Country Club, Elizabeth is then found dead on the beach and Vic soon discovers that, there was more to President Elizabeth than met the eye with a growing list of suspects, and with Vic and Casa Lido soon mixed up in Elizabeth's murder. Vic along with her mystery writer's know how and a pad and pen with her fiesty sister-in-law, Sofia try to put their sleuthing skills to work to find Elizabeth's killer.
This mystery is reminiscent of Murder She Wrote, with Vic being a mystery writer solving murders, finding killers and that is what I loved about The Wedding Soup murder. Being a fan of Murder She Wrote I know I will love this series, With her trusty pad and pen, and her spunky sister-in-law Sofia, they were a match that can't be beat, great characters that make you want to keep reading, they have a chemistry. The Wedding Soup Murder had me hungry for more and I can't wait to read and review the next in the series.

The deal is in the bag: probiotics are invited to Yumi Organics
It’s no secret that diet is a key factor in maintaining good health. At a time when mental and physical health disorders are skyrocketing, the adoption of healthy lifestyle habits is taking on an unprecedented importance. Montreal-based Yumi Organics, known for its unique offer of refrigerated groats, unpacks new snacks and non-refrigerated superfoods with added probiotics. This exclusive range, which includes 3 blends of nuts as well as chia and flax seeds, is the ideal alternative to look good, from head to toe.
With their physical and mental health benefits widely demonstrated by science, probiotics are a great option for keeping yourself healthy. By optimizing the functioning of the microbiota, probiotics contribute to the absorption of nutrients, thus promoting a better immune response. They also help regulate our mood by producing dopamine, melatonin and serotonin, hormones and neurotransmitters associated with well-being. “We are what we eat. We must not underestimate the impact of our diet on our state of health. This is what inspires our team of dietitians to develop snacks that help maintain better overall health,” said Yumi Organics founder and dietitian Zoey Li.
Snacks on the go par excellence, Yumi Organics nut blends contain more than a billion probiotics per 50g serving. They are available in three decadent versions: Crunchy Pecans-Maple, Walnut-Dark Chocolate and Keto Blend. The chia seeds and ground flaxseeds that complete this range contain more than one billion probiotics per 15g serving. They can be sprinkled on yogurt, oatmeal and smoothies, or integrated into muffin preparations and other recipes to enhance their nutritional value.
Yumi Organics products with added probiotics are available online now and will hit the shelves soon.

the Biographical film genre – from the most difficult. There is always the danger of mechanical to subdue the drama of the real course of specific fate – and then, instead of artistic thinking there is a biography, an illustration to the article in Wikipedia. In the Soviet cinema such biographies were very much in the Stalinist period malokartinya they have almost exhausted the yearly production. The art of accomplishment can be counted on the fingers of one hand: “Alexander Nevsky”, “Ivan the terrible”… what else? In both cases, the theme of the film was not a military leader and a king, a people’s tragedy, the problem of power and conscience.
Konstantin Buslov, recently starred in a biopic about the Kalashnikov, the year before was marked by a film about a Soviet aircraft designer Mikhail Mile “Heaven is measured in miles”. The film went unnoticed, but now he had a second chance: it came out on digital platforms. It has all the disadvantages of the typical film biography – but there is a topic that the authors are trying to learn from the life experience of the hero, and this topic is worth it: the Creator and power.
the Picture gives the impression is quite expensive: a lot of technology involved, recreated episodes in the U.S. and at the air show in Le Bourget in France, successfully transmitted the situation is quickly changing the country from the late 20’s through the Stalin and Khrushchev era – the environment almost all of the character’s life from boyhood dreams to the latest triumphs. Such films healing: reminiscent of today’s utterly confused the public, and in the most severe Stalinist times in the Soviet Union something grown, evolved, young insolent and bold, the old shared useful experience, a new and talented, and exactly the same as always and everywhere, fought restless creative thought. In this picture there scared baptized astronauts as “Paper soldier”, and no stupid super-task each frame to prove the hardships of Soviet slavery. The film goes through these times as through the layers of continuous history of the world, without being distracted by let important, but third-party for its national drama and tragedy. Not tempted popular current trend of “Give details!”, nothing is lacquer, but should choose destiny. In the famous comparison of “like grass through the asphalt,” he is interested not so much asphalt, but the all-conquering vitality of the grass.
Quite often, especially at first, the plot develops with a dotted line so often that it seems a confusion. But then taxiing to the what and the film: the fact that nothing in science and technology it is impossible to do, locked in his own country, as in the bunker that only international cooperation and global experience can move progress forward. Time itself, shown in the picture, was pervaded by the fresh winds of the Khrushchev thaw, when the national leader ineach imbued with a lively interest in how the world works outside powers subject to him. Khrushchev flew to America, and in the autumn of his feelings of jealousy to overseas wonders, then, played the role of a powerful dope: intellectual perfection became the ideal to which the country aspired. And sparked controversy with physicists lyricists, and the echo of poetic evenings in Polytechnical rolled around the Soviet Union, and the film “Nine days of one year” was a sign of a unique era in the life of the country, and his characters are the heroes of the time. And that Khrushchev, fly over new York, burned with a passion for modern aircraft, played a crucial role in the perfect snatch and then into the sky and into space.
the Role of Mikhail Mil in maturity entrusted Eugene Stychkin – actor, famous for their organic matter. And it successfully justifies the noticeable flaws of the script, its the dashed and some stereotyped image of “without fear and without reproach”. His character remains alive and quite reliable even in the episodes when he talks on equal terms with the all-powerful Secretary General, or in conversations with U.S. counterpart Sergei Sikorsky (Petar Zekavica), or when his American trip, he takes the liberty to be really independent from KGB surveillance, to make independent decisions – and in the end to win. A strong character gives Nikolai Kamov – his teacher, the designer of gyroplanes – Nikolay Merzlikin. Road of humanity lay strong – otherwise there would have technical and scientific breakthrough that hit the world. Paper soldiers do not fly into space – burn horror at the stage of the first stage.
Picture of Michael Mile continues the tradition of the playwright and Director Daniil Khrabrovitsky and his film “Nine days of one year” (scenario), “the taming of the fire” and “a Poem about wings” (direction), remaining in the history of cinema as the markings and evidence jerked forward era. It was a time not declared, and really popular patriotism and echoes the, alas, a unique atmosphere, which is a fresh wind burst then frozen cult the country is the main thing in this imperfect but contagious positive energy “story about real man”.

"Osprey" has been considered a dirty word in some circles. News headlines demonstrate the aircraft's proven ability to move troops in and out of current combat zones, yet a string of crashes and fatal mishaps over the last two decades still dogs the multi-billion dollar program.
The V-22's unique abilities and combat tests have been touted as a game changer for covert and expeditionary forces, including the Marine Corps which has thrown its full weight behind the project, and Air Force Special Operations Command, which has committed to a few dozen of its own version.
The Osprey may soon carve out yet another unique job for itself and along the way help step-brother the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, derided by critics for cost overruns and inefficiencies.
Officials familiar with the V-22 program are quick to address what they say is a common misconception: The Osprey is not a helicopter that can fly as a plane. It is an airplane that can hover like a helicopter.
"It's not really the best option for many helicopter missions," says Richard Whittle, a reporter for AOL Defense and author of "The Dream Machine: The Untold History of the Notorious V-22 Osprey." The Osprey is not built to hover for long periods of time and doesn't perform that role as efficiently as a helicopter.
Unique nacelles allow the Osprey to turn its rotors upward to hover, and rotate them forward to cruise.
"What it's very good for is getting places that are far away, fast, where there is no runway," he says. "[It] is giving the Marine Corps and AFSOC a new way of doing missions that is revolutionary in offering the kind of speed and range that the Osprey gives them."
The Osprey gained a reputation as unsafe following a series of crashes during its test phase, beginning with a malfunction in 1991 in which one of the nacelles caught fire. It has become a favored point of contention for locals in Okinawa in recent years, who protest the overall Marine Corps presence there.
Whittle points out three Ospreys have crashed since Oct. 1, 2001 – one in Afghanistan, one on the USS Iwo Jima off the coast of Morroco and one at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida – killing six. The first two were attributed to pilot error. The last is still under investigation, though experts say this likely won't damage the Osprey's future.
By contrast, 417 U.S. military helicopters have crashed during that time, leading to the deaths of 630 Americans.
"There is a stigma to the Osprey from its 'ugly duckling' period, and because bad news travels faster than good, many people around the world don't realize what a swan it has become," Whittle says. "[The stigma] is undeserved at this point."
The Marine Corps has expressed the greatest interested in the Osprey so far. Its version, the MV-22, will eventually fully replace the aging CH-46 Sea Knight helicopter as the primary assault transport for troops, as well as equipment and supplies. The Osprey has a range of 860 nautical miles, or roughly six times that of the Sea Knight. It can also cruise more than twice as fast as the CH-46 at 322 miles per hour.
Since first becoming operational in 2007, the Corps have received 201 Ospreys. Of these, 175 are in active service, 10 are undergoing maintenance and 16 are used for training, according to Marine Corps spokesman Capt. Richard Ulsh, of an expected 360 by 2018. On average, three are built per month.
AFSOC has 30 Ospreys as of January 2013 leading up to an eventual 50 by 2017, according to the Naval Air Systems Command, home to Osprey flight testing.
Calls to AFSOC for more details were not returned in time for this report.
The Marine Corps announced in 2011 that Ospreys would be headed for HMX-1, its unit that oversees the aircraft the White House uses, which are known as "Marine One" when the president is on board. Corps officials say this de facto endorsement helps shed some of the aircraft's perceived troubled history.

BY STEPHANIE ESLAKE
This month, four young singers will join the Sydney Philharmonia Choirs to present Vaughan Williams’ Five Tudor Portraits. We touch base with each soloist ahead of the gig to learn about their passions.
Originally from Belgium, baritone Jarvis Dams has lived in New Zealand for 16 years and now resides in Hamilton. He holds a Master of Music with First Class Honours from The University of Waikato. He completed a vocal apprenticeship program at Astoria Music Festival in Oregon and was a recipient of the University of Waikato Sir Edmund Hillary Scholarship.
The 25-year-old placed third in the 2015 New Zealand Aria competition and in 2016 he was selected as both a semifinalist in the Lexus song quest and as a finalist in the IFAC Australian Singing Competition in Sydney.
Why I am passionate about choral singing
There is such an incredible sense of community that you get from being in a choir. One of the most exhilarating moments one can have as a musician is to share a work that is often weeks, if not months, of collaboration with the world. For this reason, I am very excited at the opportunity to share the stage with the Sydney Philarmonia Choirs for their Tudor Portraits concert.
How I prepare to perform a solo part
This question is somewhat tricky to answer, as every work is so unique in so many weird and wonderful ways. In general, I like to approach every work, whether I already know it or not, with a fresh perspective. Music can have so many layers of meaning and as a performer one has to understand what they are singing about so they can realistically present this to the audience. I find that when I repeat the whole learning process several times, you find more layers to the meaning that the composer was trying to convey to his or her audience.
How I would like to see the Australian arts industry supporting young singers
It’s always amazing to see an arts industry get behind young singers and providing them with more work.
Advice I have for other young and emerging singers
Work hard and love every minute of it!

The Chhattisgarh High Court has passed an order directing that all the interim orders passed by any Court under its jurisdiction, which were to expire on or after March 16, shall continue to be in place till May 15.
Exercising its supervisory jurisdiction under Article 227, the Chhattisgarh High Court has directed that all the interim orders, stay order, or interim bail orders passed by any of the Courts under its jurisdiction, which were to expire on or after March 16, will remain operational till May 15.
This order is passed by the Bench of Justices Prashant Kumar Mishra and Manindra Mohan Shrivastava in a suo moto petition.
This order has been passed keeping in view the restricted functioning of the High Court on account of the lockdown imposed in order to contain the spread of novel coronavirus. Given that the Courts are not functioning normally, the High Court has passed this order to alleviate the trouble that could be faced by litigants and lawyers.
Further, on the issue of crowding in prisons, the High Court has noted that in conformity with the Supreme Court’s order of March 23 directing every State to form High powered committee to identify prisoners that can be released on bail or parole, a report of the same has been submitted by the Committee thus formed.
The class of prisoners who can be released has been identified by this committee and the High Court has directed for the order of the Supreme Court to be implemented in its entirety.
The State Government and the Collectors of all Districts have been directed by the High Court to ensure medical checkup, hygiene, sanitation, cleanliness of all juvenile homes to ensure safety of child in conflict with law as well as child in need of care and protection. The orders further adds,
“Supply of required quantity of mask, soap, handwash be also ensured. The State authorities enjoined with duties and functions under the Juvenile Justice Act, towards supervision of Child Care Institutions shall also ensure that all such institutions are taking aforementioned safety measures.”
The order also states that in case of any urgency in any matter, the registrar (Judicial) of the High Court may be approached via email to bring the urgency to his notice and should the case be found to be urgent, it will be dealt with accordingly.

Kabira Mobility KM 4000 Electric Bike Spied
The motorcycle appears to draw inspiration from the Yamaha FZ and the Tork T6X
- The KM 4000 will be launched next month.
- It will be accompanied by a faired version, called the KM 3000.
- Expect performance equivalent to a 110cc petrol-powered commuter motorcycle.
Ahead of its launch in February, the KM 4000 electric bike from Kabira Mobility has been spotted testing in Goa. The company is a Goa-based electric two-wheeler startup. It participated in Auto Expo 2020 and unveiled its fully faired electric motorcycle, the KM3000.
Coming back to the test mule, its headlamp is oddly similar to the Yamaha FZ-Fi whereas the rest of the body panels seem to be inspired from the Tork T6X electric bike. It is evident from the images of the spied bike that it will be powered by a rear wheel-mounted hub motor linked to a battery pack located under the ‘fuel tank’.
If the bike shares its powertrain with the KM 3000, expect it to come with the same 3kW BLDC hub motor and 3.44kW lithium-ion battery, offering a claimed range of 85km and a top speed of 80kmph. Expect performance equivalent to that of a 110cc petrol-powered commuter motorcycle, just like the Revolt RV 400.
The electric bike packs sophisticated underpinnings such as an inverted front fork, twin discs up front, and a disc at the rear with a monoshock. If you ask us, the inverted front fork and the twin disc setup feels like a bit of an overkill for a bike of this class. A closer look also reveals a fairly large rectangular instrument cluster, which will be a fully digital unit, likely with smartphone connectivity.
KM 3000 shown for representation
Kabira Mobility will also be launching the KM 3000 alongside the KM 4000 next month. Expect the brand to price the KM 4000 at around Rs 1.10 lakh (ex-showroom) with the only alternative in the electric bike segment being the Revolt RV 400. Kabira Mobility had earlier revealed the price of the KM 3000, Rs 1.13 lakh, but we reckon, it’d be over Rs 1.25 lakh (ex-showroom) factoring in inflation and the various logistical challenges faced in this pandemic-stricken world.
