Swallow the Rat – Photo Credit: Kate Brebner
New Zealand indie rock/post-punk band Swallow the Rat is comprised of musicians from various other outfits, as well as being connected to the US through one of its members. Their compelling and uncompromising debut album, Leaving Room, was released via Shifting Sounds April 24th.
Swallow The Rat’s unique musical chemistry is rooted in a merging of worlds. Guitarist/vocalist Sam Vercoe, drummer Hayden Fritchley, and bassist/vocalist Stephen Horsley had been playing with one another in various projects throughout the Auckland music scene for years, but it wasn’t until guitarist Brian Purington — a native of Austin, Texas — moved to New Zealand and began collaborating with Vercoe in 2017 that Swallow the Rat was born.
Adding Purington’s uniquely American influences and vibrant psychedelic flourish to Vercoe, Fritchley, and Horsley’s foundation of wiry New Zealand post-punk resulted in the collision of driving riffs and hazy atmosphere that defines Swallow The Rat’s sound.
The new band released a self-titled 7” and quickly began gaining momentum in the Auckland live circuit before turning to producer/engineer Nick Abbott (Foals, Pulled Apart By Horses, Robert Plant) to record their first full-length at North-Western Recorders.
Big Takeover is stoked to host the premiere of the atmospheric video for “Cold Moon,” a psych-driven, post-rock track off the album.
The song pushes forward with an emphatic pace and whirlpools of reverb-drenched guitars that back relevant lyrics that speak to disenfranchisement with unfit leaders and hostile societal norms. Vercoe exclaims starkly the potent words, “It’s time / to not be so unkind / It’s time to follow your own mind.”
The video clip was shot in black and white by Fritchley, and focuses on the life of the band on the road and playing shows. Details like preparations for live performances, especially their gear and set-up, are highlighted.
These going-on’s are intercut with a fleeting stream of clouds and landscapes passing by from the viewpoint of a vehicle’s window as the band members move from one venue to the next.
Vercoe reveals the meaning of the track, stating, ““Cold Moon” is about unfit leaders who lack understanding and compassion for people and the world around them. As a community we can hold onto the good aspects of humanity by remaining independent of thought regardless of the actions and opinions of those in positions of power.”
“I also wanted to evoke a sort of mantra, so it was important to use repetitive lyrics to achieve a hypnotic sense to the song.”
Fritchley adds details about the video clip, commenting, ““I had compiled some footage from one of our NZ tours and began slicing it up with other incidental observations. There’s a reflective, introspective vibe to the song which worked with my documentary approach to moving images.”

100s protest in Turkey against so-called Islamist AKP’s bill on child abuse
Hundreds of people have taken to the streets in the southern Turkish city of Antalya in protest at a proposed bill that would drop convictions against those offenders who committed child abuse before November 11 and married the victim.
“This bill is trying to protect the child abusers in the cover of early marriage,” said Nilufer Deveci, the chairperson of the Women’s Branch of the Republican People’s Party (CHP), the organizer of the Sunday protest.
She warned that the law would “vindicate the pedophiles who are raping children younger than 15-years-old.”
Many of the participants in the protest were reportedly dressed in CHP red scarfs and carrying banners with slogans urging the government to “reverse the law.”
Deveci also condemned the proposed bill, saying the law would be a “historical shame.”
The protest was largely peaceful, except for a brief scuffle between a senior police officer and a CHP deputy, Niyazi Nefi Kara.
The government of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan argues that the measure is aimed at resolving legal complications related to child marriages.
Turkish lawmakers approved the bill in its initial reading on Thursday and will vote on the proposal in a second debate on Tuesday.

When a Hurricane makes land the cell phone towers often go down immediately, leaving satellite phones as the only form of communication to give you access to the outside world
Santee, CA (PRWEB) August 2, 2006
Tropical Storm Chris may very well become Hurricane Chris by this weekend, and that prospect is behind the surge in demand for satellite phone rentals at San Diego based All Road Communications, http://www.allroadcommunications.com.
"When a Hurricane makes land the cell phone towers often go down immediately, leaving satellite phones as the only form of communication to give you access to the outside world," said All Road's Chris Hoar.
"We have already had a very busy season, mostly from companies and individuals who want to have a satellite phone just in case the worst happens, but Tropical Storm Chris has instantly tripled demand. We are adding to our inventory on a daily basis, but if you need a satellite phone then reserve it now, if this storm becomes a hurricane it may be too late. Last year many suppliers across the country ran out of phones when Katrina hit, and even if you had sat phones, getting them to the customers on time was hard to say the least."
All Road Communications has already increased its satellite phone rental inventory 500% this year alone, and plans to double that over the next 4 weeks.
"When Chris hits we will be open 24 hours a day as we always are, and we have made arrangements with hot shot drivers and specialty delivery firms to get our phones into our customers no matter how bad the situation on the ground, but we urge customers to plan ahead and insure that they will have their satellite phones in time. If you are worried about Hurricane Chris then rent your phone now, it could make land in the US as soon as this weekend" said Hoar.
All Road Communications rents Globalstar satellite phones, like the Qualcomm GSP 1600, from just $19.49 per week, and Iridium satellite phones, like the Iridium 9505A, from just $39.99 per week. All Road also rents all the accessories which you might need, including Pelican Cases, Solar Panels, Batteries, Car Chargers, Fixed Mast Antennas and Car Antennas.
All Road is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
All Road can deliver your phone the same day you order it if necessary, or will ship your phone anywhere on earth and get it there on time, guaranteed.
Call All Road anytime to order, or for a free quote, for your personal or business needs at 1-888-884-7623 or by direct dial at USA 619-596-4574.
You may order your satellite phone rental online at http://www.allroadcommunications.com

Planning for Community Center Initiated
Enthusiastic supporters of a Langdon Community Center met with the Langdon Selectboard on March 28, 2011 with a proposal to form working committee to develop a multi-use community center in the Municipal Building. The proposal was an outgrowth of a March 8, 2011 town meeting resolution approving the formation of such a committee.
The proposal that was hammered out by representatives of the Langdon Community Club outlined the potential users of a community center. Target audiences included children and adult groups and organizations and various groups with a specific focus such as flu shot clinics, yoga, exercise, or dance groups, blood drives, class or family reunions. The need for a site that could be used as temporary shelter for those affected by disaster such as fire or flood or those who suffer from long-term power outages was also included in the proposal. Suggestions for town-wide gatherings and activities sponsored by the town or local organizations was also mentioned in conjunction with development of a community center.
With the formation of a nine-person committee, members will address such issues as site requirements, space evaluation, establishing priorities for the rehabilitation process, setting phases for the development activity, research into grant possibilities, and financing the development of the site.
The hope of community center supporters is that members of the community who can offer skills and expertise in design, the building trades, and interior design and planning will work with the committee to provide a sorely-needed area for residents of Langdon to come together.
Anyone who is interested in contributing his or her talents to this project may call 835-6513, 835-6737, or 445-7014 for more information.

Hello lover Bubblers!
I just wanted to write a journal to say hello, how are you doing? I don’t get much time to spend on Red Bubble like I used to, and have felt bad not commenting on as many works as I like. I miss so many! But those that I do see and love, I pounce on.
You are all such amazing artists, and I wanted to thank everyone who has offered me advice and support. It’s so greatly appreciated.
In “photo” news, still trying to get that ‘professional folio’ together. Working on some Beauty shoots, and have a few fashion ones thrown in there (doing a shoot for a designer tomorrow, should be fun!)
I had one paid shoot, a small portfolio for a young boy wanting to get into musical theatre. Was very fun, and am happy with the images. I will ask for his permission to post a couple here. Apart from that, it’s free shoots like always! I feel bad that I’m so used to it, and that I’m shocked when people actually have money to offer. I worry that when I do get paid shoots, I won’t be able to perform like I do normally.
But I’ll finish the journal here. I hope your lives are filled with happiness and success!

Traditional insurance isn’t fair to low-mileage drivers. The No. 1 risk indicator for drivers is how often they’re on the road. Metromile per-mile insurance means you never get charged for miles that you don’t drive. It’s that simple.
With Metromile per-mile insurance you pay a low monthly base rate plus just a few cents per mile when you drive. At the end of the month, your bill is your base rate plus how many miles you drove at your per-mile rate.
You get all the same coverages you can buy at any other insurance carrier -- including coverage for Uber drivers -- but you'll pay less.
Per-mile insurance is currently available in California, Illinois, New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Washington.

I love this article.
It makes me feel like I have to stop and ask the question I have been asking all my life.
Why are all the restaurants that I’ve been to in Houston just so darn good?
I can’t find a single one that I’m happy with.
I think this is partly because they’re so cheap.
The food is so good.
And there’s so many great people behind them.
I mean, how can you be good at something if you don’t have the same type of people behind you?
There are so many people who can do that at every level.
And that’s the beauty of Houston: There’s so much people who care about their city, who care what happens here, who are really passionate about this city.
If there was a way for us to just go out and do it, we could have been great chefs.

Full movie description "Wonderkid":WONDERKID is a film by Rhys Chapman, which tackles one of football's biggest issues - homophobia. WONDERKID is a film by Rhys Chapman, which tackles one of football's biggest issues - homophobia. Starring Chris Mason and featuring Sky Sports' commentator Martin Tyler, pundit Alan Smith and presenters Geoff Shreeves and Guy Havord, the film depicts the inner turmoil of a gay professional footballer. After earning a dream move to a London Premier League club, 'WONDERKID' should be on top of the world. The reality? He's faced with callous friends, a hostile changing room, vitriol-filled messages on social media and, crucially, WONDERKID's having to deal with himself. The film highlights the key issue - why should his sexuality be an issue?
Reviews of the Wonderkid'Who cares?' That's now a fairly typical response when anyone in the public eye comes out as gay, and sport is no different - but there are still very few, men and women, who do come out. In the world of male professional football (soccer), it's really rare - despite the thousands of pro players across the globe. So should all of us, gay or straight, care more? Shouldn't we wonder what it would be like, in the hypermasculine environment of football, to feel different but be afraid or discouraged to show it? The short film WONDERKID aims for that empathy, and achieves it - there's such spirit and passion in the young central character Bradley (Chris Mason) that the viewer is drawn into his headspace and mindset, even though his reactions are often hot-headed or impulsive. The scenarios, setting, relationships (particularly with his agent) and story arc all combine to place Bradley in a believable sporting world that still carries its own taboos and traditions, out of step with much of modern society. The film's powerful message - 'Be Yourself' - will resonate with anyone, particularly those who have ever felt on the fringes of a group or activity. The short feels like the start of something, a call to arms for football and a calling card for a first-time film-maker. You can watch WONDERKID for free on its official website, and there are no geo restrictions - it deserves to be 'the shot heard round the world' for inclusion in soccer.

My uncle is a gardener extraordinaire. (Or is that gardenaire extraordinaire?) Whatever you want to call it, Uncle Paul Hansen has a lovely, abundant garden that sometimes produces more than he knows what to do with, bordered by very happy fruit trees
Look at this one for example, high up in the branches, do you see an abundance of round red fruit?
Do you also see a long yellow fruit hanging from the branches?
Hold on...not a fruit...what IS that thing on a bottom branch?
There you go. It's a butternut squash growing in a tree. Call the Guinness Book of World Records! Or else just follow the squash vine that trails into the garden just out of the photo frame.

Director Taika Waititi has a good chance of sticking around the MCU after his work on Thor: Ragnarok, at least if Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige his way. Marvel has long been known to pluck TV and indie film directors from mainstream obscurity and turn them into blockbuster auteurs. And while they’ve had some complications in the past – most famously with Edgar Wright on Ant-Man and Patty Jenkins on Thor 2 – the method has also yielded some fantastic results.
Brothers Anthony and Joe Russo, Peyton Reed, Scott Derrickson, and James Gunn are prime examples of this, spinning their small bodies of work into big success with the Captain America, Ant-Man, Doctor Strange, and <a target="_blank" …

At least 86 European Union and African Development Bank representatives met the Zambezi River Authority officials last Friday to discuss the refurbishment and funding of the Kariba Dam wall which is experiencing some structural problems, an official said.
The dam, which was constructed 50 years ago to supply energy to Zimbabwe and Zambia, now requires major refurbishments at a cost of $294 million to prevent it from being washed away.
Last Friday’s meeting between the ZRA board, the EU, African Development Bank, World Bank and Sweden comes barely a month after another meeting was held last month to finalise funding for the project.
“Fortunately, the boards of the African Development Bank have lined up their end of year meeting for the second week of December to authorise expenditure,” said energy ministry permanent secretary, Partson Mbiriri who chairs ZRA, a body established to manage the Zambezi River Basin on behalf of the governments of Zambia and Zimbabwe.
At the previous meeting, the EU pledged to mobilise $100 million for the project, the World Bank, $75 million; Sweden, $30 million; $75 million in AfDB loan to ZRA while the rest will be counterpart funds from ZRA.
Mbiriri told journalists after a tour of the Kariba Power Station expansion project that the dam refurbishments would take eight years to complete.
“The refurbishment work for the six gates will be done one gate at a time and this will take a long time. It will take two years to be able to design and manufacture the new equipment that will be needed,” he said.
An additional two years would be required to manufacture some components, adding that some of the design work on the dam done in the 50s was outdated as engineers used concrete that was not reinforced on parts of the wall.
Mbiriri said the plunge pool where water from the flood gates flows into would also be refurbished as it would “threaten” the integrity of the foundation of the dam wall.
“It is on that basis that the plunge pool needs to be remodelled,” he said, adding that its remodelling would cost $125 million.
Mbiriri said the funds would be released to the Zambian government for onward lending to the Zambezi River Authority as per request from the funders.
Work on the dam is expected to commence during the first half of next year.- The Source


KOLKATA: Faced with a bail provision
restricting his movements outside Bhawanipore police station area, Saradha
accused Madan Mitra
on Friday moved Alipore court to allow him to meet CBI officials. The court has granted him leave to go outside Bhawanipore only to meet the CBI officials.
Almost 22 months after he was arrested, Alipore sessions court had granted him conditional bail earlier last week. During the two-day hearing, the court ordered that Mitra will have to keep his passport with the Bhawanipore police station and appear before the CBI once a week. He was also barred from venturing out of Bengal and the country.
Mandated by the court, Mitra started staying at a hotel in Bhawanipore area and kept his movements within Bhawanipore. But the order of restricting Mitra to the Bhawanipore police station area prevented him from going to the CBI office at CGO complex in Salt Lake. It was also ordered that he can only leave the area with the permission of the court. Mitra’s lawyer Niladri Bhattacharya on Friday moved the Alipore court and sought a leave to visit CBI office at Salt Lake.
During his submission, CBI lawyer Partha Sarathi Dutta did not oppose the move by Mitra’s lawyer and left it to the court to decide. “We have sought an adjournment. But the court denied that. Then we left it to the court to decide on the prayer,” Dutta said.
According to CBI sources, since the court has asked Mitra to meet the investigation officer in the Saradha case, it is mandatory for him to appear before him once a week. “There were no interrogation today. He came here following the court’s order,” said a CBI official. Coming out of the hotel Mitra said, “I am caged inside a bottle now and following the court’s order. Whatever the court has mandated will be followed and I will cooperate with the CBI,” he said.

Wildlife Game Viewing
Uganda, where the rain forest meets the Savannah.
Wildlife viewing game drives done in four national parks — Queen Elizabeth NP, Murchison Falls NP, Lake Mburo NP and Kidepo Valley N.P
Wildlife viewing boat safaris mainly done in Murchison Falls and Queen Elizabeth National Parks.
Horseback riding and Walking Safaris are done in Lake Mburo National Park.
Wildlife Game Drives
Everyone wants to catch that moment when the jungle law is applied, especially by the kings of the Savannah, the lions. What better way to catch the drama than on a wildlife game drive.
A striking feature that is seen when you drive through Uganda, in the areas near the rainforests, is the use of terraced agriculture, which rings the hills in thousands of shades of green. Beginning at the main point of arrival in Entebbe, most safaris will head west to the broad belt of national parks that form the western border. Due to the country being situated right on the meeting point of the eastern Savannah and western jungle ecosystems, Uganda has excellent terrain for a wide variety of safaris, from traditional game drives through golden grassland seeking lion or elephant to strapping on your hiking boots and trekking through lush rainforest.
Wildlife game viewing is excellent in Uganda because most Africa bound travelers haven’t discovered this safari goldmine, therefore you may find that you’re privately driving through thousands of acres of Savannah privately. Enjoying the wildlife display without disturbances from the crowds.
Where the game drives are done
Muchison Falls National Park
Take the western route to Muchison Falls National Park, the largest national park in the country. Here, the mighty Nile River bisects flourishing Savannah, flanked by lush riverine woodlands, before bursting through a chasm in the Rift Valley escarpment to form the raging Murchison Falls.
Wildlife enthusiasts can expect to see great pods of hippo and immense rafts of crocodile in-and-around the Nile as well as an array of exceptional water birds. Other fascinating wildlife include the rare Rothschild giraffe, lion, various antelope species, buffalo, leopard and spotted hyena.
Queen Elizabeth National Park
Most famous of them all. Boasting one of the highest biodiversity ratings of any reserve in the world, Queen Elizabeth National Park is home to almost a hundred animal species as well as more than 600 types of birds.
The park is 1978km2 in size, and is famous for its primate species, it’s unusual tree-climbing lions, and the large concentration of hippos.
Kidepo National Park
The rugged isolated wilderness of the Kidepo Valley National Park ranks as one of Africa’s most prized, less explored destinations. Here, over 77 mammals and around 475 bird species find shelter amidst a pristine Savannah landscape, broken by the Kidepo and Narus Rivers.
Visitors are treated to exceptional wildlife sightings on thrilling game drives. Animals, some of which cannot be found elsewhere in Uganda (think greater and lesser kudu, eland and cheetah); include lion, leopard, elephant and an assortment of plains game.
Lake Mburo National Park
The smallest of them all. Here you can take a guided walk or ride on horse through the park and have some great sightings. Animals like buffaloes, zebras, leopard, Burch ell’s zebra and Eland together with various species of antelopes can all be viewed during the game drive. And the guide will help in spotting and giving relative information while on game drive.
So, which one is it going to be? Let’s help you out, start by clicking on the enquiry to talk to a consultant.

Lingue Culture Mediazioni / Languages Cultures Mediation
- Cristina Solimando
The tourist flows between the Arabic-speaking world and the West have strengthened the need to develop several Arabic websites, brochures, guidebooks etc. in order to be closer to Arabic speaking visitors to Western countries. In the field of tourism, English has a predominant role and the Arabic language, through different strategies of word-formation, is reacting to Western influence by generating new lexicon that needs to be analyzed in depth. This article aims at examining the challenge tourism poses for the Arabic language: the creation of technical terminology encounters some difficulties such as recourse to different terms to refer to the same concept. Despite the lack of terminological standardization, the vitality of Arabic is evident in the efforts made to bridge communication gaps caused by different cultural contexts: for instance, semantic translation often seems necessary in order to make a foreign term understandable to Arabs. This contribution is the starting point of an indispensable deeper examination of the neologisms and the word-formation strategies in the field of tourist discourse.

Funding levels for solar projects in Q1 2019 were 10% higher than a year ago, but the solar industry has become more resilient.
A report by global clean energy communications and consulting group Mercom Capital shows that total corporate funding in the solar sector over the first three months of the year amounted to $2.8 billion, against $2.5 billion in Q1 2018.
“Funding levels were up slightly year-over-year in Q1 2019, but the solar industry was on a much stronger footing at the beginning of this year compared to a year earlier, when the industry was hit with tariffs, subsidy and installation cuts in China, and a module oversupply situation,” confirmed Raj Prabhu, CEO of Mercom Capital Group.
“The market is upbeat, and solar equities rebounded strongly in the first quarter. However, China is still a wild card, and depending on its 2019 policy direction, it could have a significant impact on the solar industry.”
Global venture capital (VC) funding for the solar sector in Q1 2019 amounted to US$176 million from 13 deals, against US$161 million from 22 deals in Q1 2018. Much of the funding in the latest quarter went to solar downstream companies, which attracted US$11.1 million from seven deals.
Fewer and bigger deals
The top VC deals in the period were: $65 million raised by Yellow Door Energy, $41 million by Oxford PV, $37 million secured by BBOXX, $20 million by Aurora Solar, and PEG Africas $5 million deal. A total of 28 VC investors participated in solar funding in Q1 2019.
Solar public market financing came to $247 million in three deals in Q1 2019, compared to $103 million in four deals in Q1 2018. Ginlong (Solis) Technologies had a rare initial public offering (IPO in Q1 2019.
Announced debt financings came to $2.35 billion via 19 deals during Q1 2019 compared to $2.3 billion in 18 deals in Q1 2018. There were three securitisation deals in Q1 2019, while announced large scale project funding touched a high of US$5.68 billion from 43 deals against US$2.7 billion from 57 deals in Q1 2018
Merger and acquisition deal activity in Q1 was stable with 18 solar transactions, 14 involving solar downstream companies, against 19 transactions in Q1 2018.
About 5.9 GW of solar projects were acquired in Q1 2019, with 18 investment firms and funds acquiring 20 projects in totalling 3.5 GW, and 14 utilities and IPPs picking up 19 projects totalling 1.15 GW, while 13 project developers acquired 14 projects for 803 MW.

Many different churches in Midland have adopted one or more families, and Blessed Sacrament Parish has multiple groups within the church that have adopted a family. Outreach, the high school youth group with Blessed Sacrament Parish that participates in a mission trip at the beginning of each summer, has provided Christmas gifts for an anonymous family in need that would ordinarily not be able to have presents. Many of the students in Outreach have helped with the Christmas preparations. Junior Aiden Saggers helped with the buying portion of the preparations.
“Our Outreach program went out to Target and bought $150 worth of presents for each of the three family members,” Saggers said. “We wrapped them and packaged them at the last meeting.”
The members of Outreach believe that the Adopt a Family program is a valuable experience for all those involved.
“Adopt a Family is important because it gives the children something to look forward to on Christmas,” senior Maddy Saggers said. “It makes me feel warm inside knowing that I helped a family at this time of year.”

Earlier this month, Apple completed a round of hardware updates to its Mac Pro, iMac and Mac mini lines, offering up modest speed boosts, some pricing tweaks and -- most importantly -- the Nvidia 9400M chipset for graphics.
Best of all for iMac fans, Apple also made the 24-in. version of its popular all-in-one configuration a more tempting proposition by making it less expensive. Smart move in the middle of a recession.
For those who've waited almost a year for an iMac update, the latest round of changes has made all of Apple's computers Snow Leopard-worthy, putting in place hardware that can best handle Mac OS X 10.6, due out later this year. More about the Snow Leopard implications in a minute.
With the Mac mini taking up the low-end of the Mac market and the Mac Pro on the pricey side of things, Apple's flagship iMac line sits in the middle. There are four iMacs, starting with a 20-in. version that sells for $1,199 and extending all the way to the top-of-the-line 24-in. model that costs $2,199.
I'm focused on the least-expensive 24-in. version, which now sells for $1,499 -- $300 less than the cheapest 24-in. iMac used to cost. That extra screen real estate at a suddenly cheaper price point should be a real draw for buyers looking to get the most for the least.
Apple sent over for review the basic 24-in. iMac, though there's not much basic about this particular model. It runs on the same 2.66GHz Core 2 Duo processor used by the previous iMac at this price point. (It's also the same chip that's in the entry-level 20-in. model.) But hard drive space has been doubled to 640GB; memory has gone from 2GB of 800MHz DDR2 RAM to 4 gigs of 1066MHz DDR3 RAM; and the graphics subsystem gets the new integrated Nvidia 9400M. Like other recent Apple products, it has no FireWire 400 port, relying instead on FireWire 800 for peripheral connections and for use in Target Disk Mode.
All new iMacs now ship with the Mini DisplayPort to which you can connect one of Apple's 30-in. displays (with an adapter), a first for the iMac lineup; gigabit Ethernet; and four USB ports, which according to Apple officials operate on two controllers. Having more than one controller is important for avoiding low-power warnings, given how dependent many people have become on USB to connect all their peripherals to the computer. The iMac also has built-in stereo speakers, a headphone jack and an audio line-in jack.
Wireless connectivity includes Bluetooth 2.1+EDR and 802.11n Wi-Fi networking. All four iMacs ship with a SuperDrive, meaning they can read and write CDs and DVDs. There's still no sign of a Blu-ray drive, though, which would seem a natural addition to the iMac line given its stunning hi-def LCD screen. Screen resolution on the 24-in. model remains 1920-by-1200 pixels, with the smaller 20-in. version offering 1680-by-1050 pixels.

On the 17 February 2019 the Scottish Government launched a public consultation to ascertain how the law of succession could better reflect 21st Century Scotland.
The public’s view on the following main two points is being sought:
- How an intestate estate should be split when there are both a surviving spouse/civil partner and children left and
- What rights cohabitants should have regarding succession including whether stepchildren should be given the same rights to inheritance as biological and adopted children.
The last consultation held by the Scottish Government on the law of succession was in 2015 but at that time there was insufficient consensus on a number of significant recommendations to allow any changes.
The key area which remained unresolved after the 2015 consultation was how an intestate estate should be divided when there is both a surviving spouse/civil partner and children. This current consultation hopes to achieve a fresh approach to the reform of intestacy law. It is asking the public whether Scotland should adopt a new regime which operates in places such as British Columbia and Washington State. The British Columbia model, for example, makes provision for those who are children of the deceased but not the surviving spouse/civil partner and reduces the value of the survivor’s share and increases that available for the children.
Community safety minister, Ash Denham, is encouraging people of all ages and all backgrounds to respond to the consultation.Ms Denham explained
“The make- up of families in Scotland is vastly different today than it was when these laws were passed over half a century ago, including significantly more families made up of cohabiting couples and an increased number of step-families.”
Gordon Wyllie, Convener of the Law Society of Scotland’s Trust and Succession Law Sub-Committee concluded:
“We believe that changes to inheritance rules are required and we look forward to engaging with the government on this issue.”
The consultation closes on 10 May 2019 and can be accessed here:

You guys have no idea what kind of game this is....lol
If it's anything like the arcade version, it's not the most exciting game in the world.
It's a kiddie arcade game... they collect cards and battle them for more cards. If I remember well, the system uses Rock-Paper-Scissors to battle.
Sure hope there's more depth in the console port...
Rather have the english version of DQ monsters joker 2
yet another load of crap for july.
Are there any screenshots?
What is it about? An RPG?
They should start localizing DQ VI instead. For the DS
It's the arcade game ported to Wii with an RPG-like story mode.
I've seen a bunch of videos on this, and it's simply badass for a DQ fan. Though the concept is below basic.
I'm sure they already have.
I will be looking forward to plaything this later today i have watched a ton of videos on square-enix youtube account and this will be fun

Google is failing me, so hard to find this when we have Battle road 2 as another major arcade and searches get screwed :<

The Missouri Senate took up the nomination of Linda Martinez to be director of the Department of Economic Development.
“Let’s hope this report see it’s shadow today,” said Senate President Pro Tem Charlie Shields, R-St. Joseph.
Sen. Scott Rupp, R-Wentzville, is speaking to the Missouri Senate right now. He just said that he will not vote for Martinez's nomination. Whether he's going to continue a filibuster remains to be seen.
Whatever he ends up doing, it is clear that Rupp is not happy with the way this process has churned. He's accused Nixon of threatening him and his district if he didn't end his filibuster.
“Your actions are the same as your former counterpart in Illinois,” Rupp said, referring to former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich.
UPDATE: Martinez's nomination was confirmed by voice vote.

For the past week, US markets had a rather good rebound with the S&P 500 breaking above its 50ema which is a rare move.
Its going to be a BIG week with many lots happening. Firstly, we’ve got interest rate decision by the Federal Reserve. Their meeting will take place over Tuesday and Wedensday US timing so interest rates results will be out on Thursday morning (2am) Singapore time. Market is looking at a 0.75% increase although 1% might be on the table given the higher than expected inflation data.
Secondly, we’ve got US GDP data coming out on Thursday night Singapore timing. The data could tell us if USA has gone into a recession which is typically marked by two declining quarters. If the US is in a recession, it might spark off another round of selling.
Thirdly, we’ve got big tech companies reporting their results too. Meta, Apple, Amazon are just some that will be reporting this week. Look over here to see when your company will be reporting. Do take note that if you’re TRADING over results it can be dangerous as any disappointment in the results could result in a heavy sell down like SNAP.
Its going to be a rather volatile week so do stay alert!
HSI pulled back to our support and for long term investors this presents a good opportunity ahead. As for the week ahead, with all the big data that is to come we would be cautious in the short term as we might see increase in volatility. Currently HSI is trying to form a base at around the 20k mark. Only with a break above our short term downtrend then HSI might continue its reversal. For now we are just watching for that break. Tech stocks in HK are also presenting a good opportunity for long term entry.
STI showed surprise strength during the week and even managing to breakout of its 50ema. Banks mainly gave strength to the index but is facing near term headwinds at the downtrend line. Our next upside resistance is around 3249 area which will probably have some significant resistance. Looking out for stocks that pullback like Sembcorp Industries. First Resources is also trying to find a base and is currently on our watch list.
Head over to our Facebook for more updates on the S&P500 and Nasdaq which has both shown strength through the week.

Researchers from the University of South Carolina in Columbia (USC), USA have found THC effectively preventing inflammation and stopping the spread of colon cancer in mice. They found that the THC lessened symptoms of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), namely colonic inflammation, as well as preventing the development of tumours associated with ulcerative colitis. The paper, published in international journal iScience was headed up by Dr. Prakash Nagarkatti - he stated
“The fact that we were able to show that treatment with THC prevents inflammation in the colon and at the same time inhibits the development of colon cancer supports the notion that inflammation and colon cancer are closely linked”.
The research found that THC binds to CB2 which has a direct effect on immune cells, specifically those in the gastrointestinal system of the mice’s bodies. The CBD2 receptors have a modulation effect on the gastrointestinal system which in practice has the potential to be helpful to patients of IBD. The study provides intricate detail of the pathway process: when the THC binds with the CB2 receptors, cells in the intestine secrete anti-inflammatory molecules. These molecules recruit regulatory T cells which resolve inflammation and protect against cancer.
The researchers were excited by the results, but believe that THC may not be the final answer. Study co-author Dr. Mitzi Nagarkatti, who is chair of the Centre for Cancer Drug Discovery at USC said “Compounds that activate CB2 and cause no psychoactive effects may be beneficial to prevent IBD and colon cancer.” The researchers expressed concern that THC has psychoactive properties, and want to use this research as a stepping stone to find other cannabinoids or compounds that activate CB2 - but have no psychoactive effect.
IBD includes two conditions; Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis - it has been an “expanding global health problem” since the end of the 20th century, and has hit certain countries such as the US harder. Across the states just over 3 million adults were diagnosed with IBD in 2015. It's also increasingly affecting young people and has been tied directly to colon cancer. Research has found that the onset of IBD increases the chances of developing tumours.
This new study is promising news for solving this international health issue - however it has its limitations. The main being that researchers demonstrate THC providing a preventative effect as opposed to a cure. However, The research has deepened the understanding of IBD and colon cancer in general, and will be of great use in future study of these conditions. A further limitation is that tests took place on mice, but should these findings be applicable to humans the potential applications could be profound in individuals who are at a higher risk of developing IBD and colon cancer.

I hate hate.
Always have, always will. In a complicated, interconnected world, it’s too easy for too many to lose sight of the fact that we all share the same planet, with the same hopes and dreams for our families, our friends and ourselves. Food, shelter, clothing, the pursuit of happiness…
While the world is trying to both recover from a pandemic and cope with an unconscionable land war in Europe that simply should not be happening at all, it’s easy for primal anxieties to take over. The rapid pace of technological change, the growing tsunami of global warming, the income and social inequality that permeates societies and foments fear of ‘the other’ (whoever that may be). These are just a few symptoms, galvanized by systemic unrest, that sweep and perpetuate a troubling pessimistic world.
In our humble sphere of formats, the global language of content creation has the ability to transcend borders and connect people in ways unimaginable a century ago. Whether it is to entertain, inform, illuminate or escape, formats offer a kind of trans-national, border-free language. Game shows, reality competitions, factual formats, social experiments, shiny-floor entertainments — they are hard to create and, for most creators and producers, even harder to sell.
On the assumption that high tides lift all boats, it’s important to recognise that the rapidly changing landscape of the world is hitting the format industry too. While there are no shortages of ideas and shows, and an endless array of distribution platforms — terrestrial, digital, SVOD, AVOD, etc — the decision-makers are being concentrated in the hands of fewer and fewer GEGs (Global Entertainment Giants).
When faced with such obstacles, it’s incumbent on our community to be supportive, collaborative, honourable and optimistic. We must root out the format thieves and rip-off artists — the platforms and distributors and creators (you KNOW who you are) who shamelessly see a format somewhere and help themselves to the IP via copycat ideas, hoping to cash-in quickly before they get caught. And even then, the burden is always on those ripped off to fight for the rights of their intellectual property.
So now let’s talk about sex. Specifically, ‘sex positivity’. I’ve seen a definition online that sums it up this way: “For most, it involves having positive attitudes about sex and feeling comfortable with one’s own sexual identity and with the sexual behaviours of others.” In other words, let’s be supportive of ourselves and those around us, moving boldly towards acceptance over cancellation and hate.
If we embrace honesty, truthfulness and lawfulness in the world of formats — if we recognise that there will be good shows and bad shows, hit shows and failures — then why not lift up the best and avoid criticising the worst? These shows, regardless of their reception, are valued children of the format family.
Back in 1910, US President Theodore Roosevelt offered this sound statement: “It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly… who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who have never known neither victory nor defeat.”
Not all shows are great; not all formats are worthy. But let’s be supportive of one another and of our community. The world will be a better, more positive place one format at a time.


Electrolytic deposit of indium, platinum and platinum-indium alloy on the surface of graphite electrodes has been studied using the scanning electron microscopy and the stripping voltammetry. The scanning electron microscopy method has revealed that platinum-indium alloy on the surface of the graphite electrode contains indium, platinum and chlorine. But platinum is unable to be determined on the surface of the graphite electrode without a metal activator due to its precipitation in very small quantities. Under the anodic oxidation of indium-platinum precipitation, the anodic peaks caused by the selective electro-oxidation of indium from the intermetallic compounds with platinum are observed on the current-voltage curves. Wherein, platinum remains on the electrode surface, and can be oxidized from the electrode at the potentials of the electrode purification (more than 1 V).
