David Fetherston, president of Etherston Publishing, LLC is currently writing and collecting material for the history of motorcycle land speed racing at Bonneville. He asked Dennis about his
involvement with Bonneville. He would like it to be included in his new book. http://www.bonnevillecenturyofspeed.com/ Here is what Dennis wrote.
Thanks for asking about my small part of Bonneville history. I had gone to Bonneville for several years as a spectator to watch the truly legendary team of Ed Mabry and Jon Minonno set record after record on their
Triumphs with the engines built by Jack Wilson at Big D Cycle. If you ask me, that is the real story of Bonneville.
Keith Martin is the owner now of Big D Cycle and my best friend. He obtained one of Ed Mabry’s custom built racers. It is number 607. A 650cc Triumph engine in a stretched out frame with no fairing painted fire engine
red. In 2006 He asked me if I would be interested in riding this bike at Bonneville. We road raced together over 10 years on Triumphs for Big D Cycle so I guess he figured I could at least get it down the course without
I jumped at the chance. In 2007 we took the bike to Bonneville and entered it in the 650cc pushrod class. As I said I had been a spectator many times at Bonneville so I thought I knew what I was in for. Was I ever wrong!
Nothing can prepare you for that first pass on the salt. When I pulled up to the line and looked at the vast expanse of salt ahead of me it was very intimidating. I also had butterflies in my stomach thinking of the
history of Ed Mabry and Jack Wilson on this hallowed ground. I didn’t want to let them down or my friend Keith.
We started the bike and rolled it up to the line. The line Marshall looked over the bike, gave me the thumbs up, and pointed me down the salt. I had never ridden the bike before so I was unprepared for actual physical
part of it. The bike is built stretched out and as low to the ground. Ed did this to make it as aerodynamic as possible since it had no fairing. When I got on the bike I was stretched out like superman.
After the line Marshal gave me thumbs up I tried to reach my leg back to put my foot on the peg to put it in gear. I panicked! I couldn’t find the peg! The foot position was so far back I couldn’t even turn my head far
enough back to see it. Luckily Keith was right there with me. When he saw what was happening he calmly walked up, grabbed my leg, and put my foot on the peg for me. He then walked to the front of the bike, looked me in
the eye, smiled, and gave me the thumbs up. I twisted the throttle, took it to the 7000 rpm red line, and dumped the clutch.
It started fishtailing so I back off a little and it immediately gained traction and pushed me back in seat as it accelerated. I took it through the gears but every time I got to red line it started sputtering. I was
afraid it was something serious so after mile marker 2 I pulled off the course. Keith pulled up in the chase truck; we loaded up, and then went to timing Marshal. 83.7mph. Not good! We took the bike back to the pits
where Keith pulled the spark plugs and determined we were jetted too rich. He changed the jets for a leaner mixture; we loaded up, and then went back to the starting line. This time we had the drill down pat.
The line Marshall gave me thumbs up, Keith put my foot on the peg, and I nailed it. The bike went through the gears flawlessly. I gave it all it would take and reached red line in top gear just at the end of mile marker
2 just as planned. I pulled off the course and Keith pulled up in the chase truck. I was laughing and whooping it up like a school kid. I didn’t know if I set a record yet but I was pumped with adrenalin and over the
moon. We loaded up and went to the timing Marshall. He smiled, handed me my timing slip, and said congratulations. I looked and almost teared up I was so happy. 113.506! I set the record!!! On the ride back to the pit I
couldn’t help but reflect on the years Ed, Jack, and Jon spent chasing records and now I understood. There’s nothing like Bonneville!

Hey everyone. Just read in the Home News an article on the dealership being built. It's short so I'll just type it up. "The township and United Auto Group will break ground Tuesday on Ferrari Maserati of Central New Jersey. The fast-car dealership will be parked at the Old Lincoln Terminal, between Open Road BMW and East Side Avenue on Route 1 South. The dealership currently has temporary offices at 816 Route 1 N. The expensive cars are hand-assembled in Modena, Italy. A low-end Maserati costs about $91,000 for an eight-cylinder coupe. An eight-cylinder Ferrari coupe runs about 173,000. The four-seat Ferrari 612 comes out later this summer. The 12-cylinder car starts at $250,000." Jerry Barca, Home News Tribune. I've been reading other posts on them, I thought they were just about ready to open, but this article says they are just about to break ground. Also, Ferrari's factory is in Maranello, Italy not Modena, Correct? This guy has to get his facts straight before writing articles. Just thought you guys would be interested in the article.

Tonight the Evening Standard celebrates the best of our capital: its people.
The Progress 1000, our annual list of London’s most influential individuals, chronicles those who contribute to the vibrancy of urban life. We include establishment figures and rising stars, those in power in City Hall, as well as those who campaign from the streets or blog from their smartphones.
It is an opportunity to praise the diversity, optimism and innovation that London exudes. It is also a chance to unite behind one of our joint winners, Chris Robshaw, and the England rugby team he leads on Friday at Twickenham.
The focus of our list this year is “progress-makers”, the people who have made an impact in redrawing the city’s skyline, infrastructure and interiors. We need visionaries to map out ways for London to continue to grow and prosper. That includes creating new districts to live in as the city expands, as well as the infrastructure to bring the capital together.
The Crossrail project — tellingly, we celebrate the people of influence tonight at Canary Wharf Crossrail — is a perfect example of what is possible and necessary. From 2018, the east-west rail link will carry 200 million people every year. Approved by Labour, underwritten by our second joint-winner, George Osborne, and championed by Boris Johnson, it took decades to come to reality but Europe’s largest civil engineering project has drawn praise from across the world and provided training for a new generation of skilled workers.
So it is gratifying that the Chancellor tonight gives the strongest signal yet that Crossrail 2 will be a reality, connecting Alexandra Palace in the north to Wimbledon in the south. Whether in finance or construction, London’s strength is that we can achieve whatever we aspire to.
Dealing with traffickers
The Royal Navy has already helped rescue thousands of migrants en route to Europe at sea. Indeed as Lord West, former First Sea Lord, points out, people traffickers promise would-be migrants that they will, once at sea, be rescued by the Navy. Now the Government wants to use a warship, HMS Richmond, to deal with the problem at an earlier stage by intercepting vessels used by the people-smugglers. If the EU approves the operation, she could be used to attack pirate vessels operating off Libya. Dealing with criminals who profit from migrants has to be to the good; as Lord West says, people will die if we do not act.
Yet it already appears that the vessel can only operate 12 miles or more off the coast, which meachris robns the people-traffickers can take refuge with impunity in Libyan waters and harbours. This compromises the effectiveness of the operation at the outset. It also reminds us that Libya is part of the solution to the migrant crisis. Formerly, the Libyan dictator Colonel Gaddafi contained the traffickers. In the lawlessness that characterises the country now, they operate freely. Britain intervened on principle in Libya to help depose Gaddafi; we now have some responsibility to help restore stability there, not least to enable us to deal effectively with the criminal traffickers.
A room with a zoo
London Zoo is to build 10 luxury wooden cabins next to the Land of Lions enclosure to help raise funds. A room with a zoo attached has appeal. Yet we must hope that the human guests do not behave badly in front of the animals. During previous late-night soirées at the zoo, one visitor tried to dive into the penguin pool and another threw beer at the tigers. It would be tragic if an erring guest got the full jungle experience by being eaten.Reuse content

Pretty Little Liars fans were worried sick when Keegan Allen teased Toby's death on social media, but now we have confirmation of his fate from showrunner Marlene King
Aside from finding out A.D.'s identity, many Pretty Little Liars fans are anxiously waiting to find out which couples end up together. Lucy Hale has confirmed that her character Aria is still getting married in Season 7B and we're hopeful that it's still to Ezra! Hanna and Caleb are seemingly back together, and now all is right with the world. Showrunner Marlene King even teased Emily and Alison as endgame, yet again, with an Instagram photo of the characters' initials spray-painted on the infamous Kissing Rock. But what's in store for Spencer? Well, she'll have a lot on her plate when the show returns for it's final ten episodes. Jenna shot Spencer AND Mary Drake revealed that she's Spencer's biological mother! Fans would love to see Spencer and Toby together. However let's not forget that Toby is engaged to Yvonne, and they got in a major car crash as they were leaving Rosewood. PLL star Keegan Allen even teased Toby's death on social media.
Marlene King recently shared dialogue from the series finale that made Pretty Little Liars fans super emotional. But on a happy note, one of King's tweets reveals that Toby survived the car crash from the summer season finale and lives to see the very last episode. In the tweet, Toby has a line that reads, "I used to know a girl that liked to say 'hope breeds eternal misery.'" Toby is talking about Spencer; in the series' pilot episode Spencer says this phrase to her sister Melissa who had said, "I was hoping you'd be happy for me." It's only fitting that Toby brings this line up again in the series finale, and we're willing to bet that he says it to Spencer herself. Many Spoby fans still hope that Spencer and Toby will end up together. Perhaps they will be the ones getting married in one of the multiple weddings in Season 7B, however this line sounds more ominous than romantic. Are you happy that Toby is in the series finale?

Blythewood TDs by Jordyn Adams, Sekwan Jenkins, Roger Carter
Clemson is among Jordyn Adams’ final five schools he released Wednesday night.
Adams, the former Blythewood standout, also has Ohio State, Alabama, LSU and North Carolina in his final five schools. He said he is unsure when he will make his decision.
Adams attended Ohio State’s spring game over the weekend and was recently selected to U.S. Army All-American Bowl.
Adams played at Blythewood through December before transferring to Green Hope High School in Cary, North Carolina. Adams’ father, Deke is an assistant coach at North Carolina.
The 6-foot-2 junior is No. 8 prospect in North Carolina by 247Sports and in ranked 247Sports Top 150 and Rivals Top 200 fo Class of 2018.
At Blythewood, Adams threw for 2,350 yards and 24 touchdowns and also rushed for 793 yards and 11 TDs. He is being recruited as a receiver.
Adams also plays baseball and is hitting .423 with a homer and 14 RBI this season for Green Hope. He set a school record with five stolen bases in a game Monday against Enloe.


Watch Guardian’s Stunning Interview With Cambridge Analytica Whistleblower: ‘A Grossly Unethical Experiment’
A 27-year-old data scientist named Christopher Wylie revealed extraordinary information about his time working for Cambridge Analytica in an interview with The Guardian published Saturday.
The controversial company harvested 50 million Facebook users’ personal information in an attempt to “build a psychological profile of each voter” throughout the United States, Wylie said. Among other charges, the whistleblower said the company was capable of pulling users’ private information without their consent, including status updates and direct messages.
He also directly contradicted statements made by Alexander Nix, the chief executive of Cambridge Analytica’s parent company SCL Group, who denied the use of Facebook data in a testimony before Parliament.
“That’s just fundamentally not true because we spent a million dollars harvesting tens of millions of Facebook profiles, and those profiles were used as the basis of the algorithms that became the foundation of Cambridge Analytica,” Wylie said. “The company was founded using Facebook data.”
The stunning interview arrives the same day Facebook announced it was barring the data firm from using the social media platform. “We are committed to vigorously enforcing our policies to protect people’s information,” Facebook’s Vice President Paul Grewal said in a statement. “We will take whatever steps are required to see that this happens. We will take legal action if necessary to hold them responsible and accountable for any unlawful behavior.”
Reports also broke Saturday indicating Cambridge Analytica had ties to Russian interests, specifically relating to how it targeted U.S. voters, despite Nix’s denials the company had “any relationship with Russia or Russian individuals” during his testimony.

“Two years ago I saw hundreds of lesser adjutants perching on a big leafless tree. The tree was so big but all I could see were the birds all over that big tree. But then the tree was cut down, and I rarely see large group of lesser adjutants here now”, uncle Hea Sam Oeurn recalled from his memory while he was at the tree ordination ceremony at Phnom Ses community forest.
Standing with eagerness for describing his feeling about Phnom Ses’s forest and wildlife devastating situation, uncle Hea Sam Oeurn, 45 year-old deputy chief of Phnom Ses forest community, told of the old good times when Phnom Ses forest was abundant with many endangered and rare wildlife and tree species, while emphasizing urgent need to protect the natural resources at Phnom Ses, witnessing current situation of excessive illegal logging almost every day.
“Here, it used to have many kinds of wild animals. But now we lost the elephant, tiger, and guar. Now we only have wild boar, red muntjac, lesser oriental chevrotain, and some bird species such as white-shouldered ibis, lesser adjutant, green peafowl, and jungle chicken. For wood species, we lost Beng, Thnong, Neang Noun, and Kranhoung, remaining mostly only the raisin trees,. There are only around 100 raisin trees left, and few Srolao, Chheuteal, Trach, and Chambak. Two years ago we also had banteng, sambar, and many bears, but banteng is all gone now and we only have small number of bears because of relentless habitat destruction caused by people”, said uncle Sam Oeurn, while standing near a Srolao tree freshly ordained by Buddhist monks.
Uncle Sam Oeurn with his community members, officials from Kratie Provincial Department of Environment, Provincial Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, Forestry Administration, and local authorities has been working so hard to protect the forest and wildlife at Phnom Ses; however, illegal logging, land encroachment, and land conversion are still unabated. “Illegal logging is very anarchic here, though we try our best to protect. We have relevant technical and local authorities, and our community team coming together to crack down on illegal activities here, but we still cannot stop the illegal activities. There are people coming almost every day to cut down the trees, encroach the land, and there are even people coming to grab the land here for sale”, said uncle Sam Oeurn.
Phnom Ses community forest was created in early February 2007. In the community there are 169 families with 387 household members (126 women). This community forest is under the management of a committee consisting of 11 committee members (three women).
Abundant with luxury wood species and being a critical habitat for many endangered species, Phnom Ses community forest covers an area of 3,081 ha, located in Ou Kreang commune, Sambo district, Kratie province. It is around 110 km away from and northeastern of Kratie town. Surrounded by thousand hectares of rubber plantation, Phnom Ses community forest looks so lost, solitary, and tragic.
Phnom Ses community forest was approved by the Prakas of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) and signed “Community Forest Agreement” with Kratie Forestry Administration on 30th November 2018, allowing the community to have full legal rights to sustainably managing the forests and natural resources within the area.
Eleven days after signing the agreement, on 11th December 2018, WWF-Cambodia, in collaboration with Kratie Forestry Administration (FA) and Provincial Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (PDAFF), Provincial Department of Environment (PDoE), Provincial Department of Cult and Religion (PDCR), local authorities, and community members organized “tree ordination ceremony” which is a traditionally ritual ceremony of the indigenous people who hold belief in Buddhism and deities in Phnom Ses community forest. Twenty five Buddhist monks from six pagodas (four in Kratie and two in Phnom Penh) ordained 51 trees as a symbolic ceremony to protect forests in 51 community forests already established in Kratie province.
The ordination of the tree ceremony was organized to raise awareness about the contribution to the protection of the forests by letting the community people and general citizens know that forests are protected by law, god, and deities. The ceremony also reflected close collaboration among governmental institutions, local authorities, community people, NGOs, and conservation partners in the protection of forests and sustainable use of natural resources.
“I feel very happy to have this tree ordination ceremony because many stakeholders come to this forest and they can see the real situation at the forest by themselves”, Uncle Sam Oeurn expressed his excitement about the event. Among the most enthusiasts about the ceremony was Mr. San Samia, the 65 year-old commune councillor of Ou Kreang commune. “Tree ordination ceremony is important because it reinforces the citizen’s belief and helps prevent people from encroaching the land and cutting the remaining trees”, said the councillor.
In the ceremony, indigenous people in the community performed ritual offerings and prayed to deities for the everlasting protection of the forests, in addition to Buddhist religious walking parade and chanting to enchant Buddhist robes used for wrapping around the 51 trees to be ordained as the symbolic ceremony to protect the forests in the 51 community forests in Kratie province. This tree ordination ceremony was celebrated for the first time in Kratie, and it received strong support from the community people as they believed that such ritual ceremony would help protect the forests, wild animals, and natural resources remaining in Phnom Ses community forest.
Venerable Hoy Meng Teang, a Buddhist monk from Phnom Penh, who led in ordaining the 51 trees explained that tree ordination ceremony is about the connection between Buddhism and nature as Buddha was born under the trees, got enlightened under the tree, and died under the tree. This is a belief that has been well rooted in Khmer citizens and such ceremony is deeply revered.
“We, indigenous people, believe that trees that are ordained are sacred. Anyone who dares to cut the ordained trees will be in peril.” Mrs. Seng Sokheng, 43 years old woman from Ou Preah village avowed. Likewise, Ms. Chhiv Sothea, 29 year-old lady from the same village, who has grown up to feel so connected Phnom Ses forest, was so hopeful about the future of the forest which she used to see many wild animals and trees being in natural harmony. She softly conveyed her hope “I believe this ceremony can protect the trees because people think once the trees are ordained, they can’t be cut. We keep the trees to protect animals’ habitats and our children and grandchildren.”
The tree ordination ceremony was part of WWF-Cambodia’s Scale-Up project funded by the Belgium government (DGD-Belgium), supporting eight community forests in Kratie province.
In addition, WWF-Cambodia has been supporting forestry and fishery communities in the Mekong Flooded Forest landscape (MFF) through Partnership Programme to Support Forestry and Fishery communities (PaFF) funded by Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) since 2014, reinforcing the capacity of the communities as well as increasing their livelihoods by sustainably managing natural resources.
On 30th November 2018, eight new community forests (including Phnom Ses community forest) in Kratie province were approved by Prakas from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) and signed “community forest agreement” with Kratie Forestry Administration in order to get full legal rights to sustainably managing natural resources in their community forests.
In total, until now 38 of the 51 community forests in Kratie province were approved by the Prakas from MAFF and signed the “community forest agreement” with Kratie Forestry Administration.

As combat rounds are about a minute long it's assumed that several strikes, parries, blows etc.. are done during that minutes time.
So it seems redundant to have a character that uses two weapons gain an extra attack. What would be a good way to represent that? looking for some good ideas? an additional +1 to hit? extra damage? what about a penalty for someone not trained with two weapons?
One popular solution is to give dual wielders +1 "to hit", two-handed weapon users +1 damage, and (of course) shield users +1 AC. I always thought this solution, proposed by Philotomy Jurament, was a nice little symmetry.
Bonuses to damage are one good way to do it. An important thing to understand, that a lot of people don't seem to unless they have done some kind of mock combat, is that a shield is also a weapon. It is a big whoping board that can knock the snot out of you if you are bashed with one, and the edge can be use quite effectively in several ways to knock or twist a weapon loose.
Anyhow, here's a little preview of the Supplement of a rule derived from Arneson that I like to use: "Although it will negate a shields defensive bonus, a character may gain 1 additional Attack Value using their shield offensively or with a weapon held in the second hand in place of the shield or with a two handed weapon. Such attacks add half again as much damage (+ ½ HD) to the damage roll total. Likewise, a second weapon may be wielded defensively in place of a shield. The weapon will provide the same defensive bonus as a shield in melee, but not against projectiles. A secondary weapon cannot be used defensively and offensively in the same round."


- Nixing nostalgia: Could it be that Cub brass is touchy over the ''Cubs of
`69'' hoopla? We hear a group called WAS (Wrigley-Addison-Sheffiel d), made up of players from that team, ran into interference from the front office over ideas it had for financing appearances. Apparently the bosses are wearying of hype over a team that didn`t win a pennant. It`s an attitude the present regime shares with ex-GM Dallas Green.
- End run: You may have noticed Mike Ditka doesn`t have his Trackside restaurant anymore at Arlington International Racecourse, but the coach isn`t abandoning the general vicinity. Ditka`s Northwest, to be located at 8750 W. Bryn Mawr near Rosemont, is expected to open in September.
- Eve of destruction: Bart Starr says he found ''a caged animal'' when he visited his son at the University of Wisconsin several years ago and discovered a cowering figure locked in his room with shades pulled. In an emotional interview to be aired Tuesday on ''Good Morning America,'' the former Green Bay star and wife Cherry speak about their son Bret, who died last summer from effects of long-term cocaine use. ''I asked him,'' Cherry says, ''is there something that Daddy and I are doing that is making you unhappy, or are we embarrassing you in any way? And he said to me, `You and Dad are the best parents I could possibly have. It has nothing to do with you. I don`t know why I do drugs.` ''
- Batter up: Baseball is coming back to Northern Illinois and the Huskies are thinking big. They want former President Ronald Reagan`s involvement-but not as an announcer. Boosters will seek Reagan`s signature on a petition to name any new baseball stadium after his former Eureka College football coach, Ralph McKenzie, now 94 years old. Coach Mac, still living in Eureka, is in NIU`s sports Hall of Fame. Baseball was dropped at Northern in 1982 to cut costs. It`s being reinstated for 1990-91 to meet guidelines for joining the Mid-Continent Conference.
- Man about town: Mike LoPresti, a Gannett News Service sports writer, may travel more than anyone in the business. LoPresti, who lives in Richmond, Ind., spends nearly 200 days a year on the road covering national stories. Gannett plans to cite his efforts in an upcoming issue of Editor & Publisher, a trade magazine. LoPresti will be featured in a big advertisement. To that end, his bosses asked him to come up with a site for a photo session to show the most unusual place he has written a story-taxis, airplanes, phone booths, etc. So when the ad appears in E&P, readers will see him pounding his keys in a public restroom. Said LoPresti: ''I couldn`t believe the photo session took an hour and a half. That was longer than it took to write the story.''
- Bullish: If Nancy Lopez, Amy Alcott, Penny Hammel and other ladies on the pro golf tour wind up at Bull Valley Golf Course next August, they may have Diana Ditka to thank. She played the opulent Woodstock layout this week with members of an LPGA site selection committee. Diana is the first woman to join the new club and is also a spokeswoman for the site.
- Retiring kind? Former Illinois Athletic Director Neale Stoner, who has a daughter in Chicago, was a weekend visitor here. Stoner has been rumored for some AD jobs in California, but, for now, he`s working in a development company in Newport Beach. Said Stoner: ''The funny thing is that I`ve seen more Cub games since I`ve moved to California than I did living in Champaign. We get `em on cable.''
- News, notes and nonsense: White Sox fans interested in getting Nellie Fox into the Hall of Fame will have an opportunity to sign petitions at games in Comiskey Park next weekend. They`ll be forwarded to the Hall`s Committee on Baseball Veterans. . . . Cathy Core has put out an all-points bulletin for women interested in becoming Luvabull cheerleaders.

From advocacy to action: Projecting the health impacts of climate change
Mitigating climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions has many health co-benefits and is a top public health priority. Policies to limit emissions are associated with improvements across a wide range of public health outcomes, including, among other impacts, obesity, acute respiratory infections among children, and ischaemic heart disease in adults. However, recognition that climate change is already underway has led to an increasing focus on adaptation. Studies projecting the impacts of future climate change on health date back to the late 1980s, and their number has grown substantially in recent years. Climate change impact assessments generally use the output of global climate models (GCMs). Here, we profile, and suggest means for addressing, the challenges associated with the use of GCM projections for impact studies to inform adaptation.

This Heat are/were an experimental music group from Brixton. Formed in 1975, they bridge the gap between progressive rock, punk, and post-punk. I love their angular, confrontational industrial sound.
Download: This Heat, 'SPQR'
‘SPQR’* uses Rome and its icons (straight roads, slavery, and Romulus’ betrayal of his brother) as metaphors for our own modern imperial obsessions. The whole album brims with anger and fear of Cold War nuclear annihilation. In 3.5 minutes, the song exposes the cruelty and deceit underlying Rome’s empire more honestly than anything I got in years of Classics courses.
From the Youtubes: a cool fan video for the song, using footage from a 1930s attempt to film 'I Claudius', starring Charles Laughton.
*SPQR, for ‘The Senate and People of Rome’ is the official motto of the city of Rome, then and now.

Erdogan says Turkey to hold snap election on November 1
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announces the election date after weeks of efforts to agree on a coalition failed.
Turkey will hold a snap election on November 1 and an interim government will be formed in the meantime, if necessary with members from outside parliament, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said in televised remarks broadcast by the Turkish media.
The official timing of the elections will be set by the country’s election commission, which is not allowed to set a date until Sunday, when a deadline for creating a coalition after the last elections expires.
Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu formally ended attempts to find a junior coalition partner on Tuesday after weeks of talks with opposition parties failed.
Davutoglu, the leader of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AK Party), handed the mandate back to Erdogan, making a snap election almost inevitable.
On Wednesday, Erdogan said he would not hand the duty to form a new government to another party.
The 45-day period to form a new coalition in the country is to officially end on August 23.
The elections should be held 90 days after being called, but the country’s election board can set it earlier than the official schedule in question.
According to the constitution, the AK Party will be able to continue as a minority government until elections if a majority in parliament votes in favour of holding early polls. In that case, the president has the right to order early elections.
Both the secularist centre-left Republican People’s Party and Nationalist Movement Party, the second and third largest parties in parliament, recently announced that they would not take part in government formation.
And the AK Party is not likely to enter a coalition with the pro-Kurdish left-wing Peoples’ Democracy Party, the fourth party in parliament, as the government has been bombing Kurdish targets in northern Iraq as well as inside Turkey since last month.

ON CO L OG Y Immunotherapy Heralds a New Age of Treatments for Cancers A recently approved drug for patients with metastatic melanoma represents a significant shift in the way the cancer is treated and may herald a new era in which the body’s immune system is increasingly directed to attack certain cancers. Pembrolizumab, co-developed by Antoni Ribas, MD, PhD, at the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, is a protein that works by blocking the immune system’s “brakes,” allowing it to recognize and attack cancer cells. Studies by Dr. Ribas and researchers from 16 countries in patients with metastatic melanoma found that the new drug resulted in less severe side effects, T-lymphocytes, or T cells (round), play an important role in the body’s immune system, tracking down and destroying foreign bodies and infected cells. Now, the evolving science of immunotherapy seeks to unleash the power of T cells against cancer. UCLAHEALTH.ORG 1-800-UCLA-MD1 (1-800-825-2631) improved tumor responses, longer duration of responses and extended survival compared to the standard treatment. “For many decades, cancer biologists have thought that if we can vaccinate for mumps or rubella, maybe we can also vaccinate for cancer,” Dr. Ribas says. “The idea of using the immune system to fight against cancer has been tested with many vaccines, but until recently, the benefits have been anecdotal, and overall the results have been disappointing.” The problem, Dr. Ribas notes, is that the immune system evolved to fight foreign invaders and infection, not cancer cells. But in recent years, as researchers began to better understand how the immune system is activated, it became clear that an important system of checks and balances is in place to keep the healthy immune system from attacking organs. These safeguards, which were also preventing the immune system from attacking cancer cells, are known as checkpoints. “We realized that the key to successful immunotherapy was not just to turn on the immune system against cancer, but to take away the brakes that were turning it off,” Dr. Ribas explains. More than a decade ago, Dr. Ribas and others began developing the first generation of

Between May 1st and June 30th 2020, SongU.com is running a special event: Staff Writer for a Day. This is an opportunity to pitch your songs for a chance to see what it would be like to be a staff songwriter which includes getting set up by our guest publisher for a CO-WRITE SESSION with a hit songwriter!
If you aren’t sure what the term Staff Writer means, you’re not alone. When I moved to Nashville in the early 1990’s and got serious about my songwriting, many of my peers were hoping to become a full-time paid songwriter for a music publishing company (aka a staff writer). The concept was so strange to me that I had to wonder if I ever had the chance to be a staff writer, would I even like it? At the time, I questioned whether I would really enjoy writing songs on demand, on a timetable, with a quota, being “set up” on blind co-writing dates, writing to make the creative director at my publishing company happy, and asking their permission to demo songs.
After about four years of engrossing myself in the Music Row experience of constant writing, re-writing, networking, co-writing, over-coming performance fears, sheepishly meeting with ASCAP reps and music publishers who would listen to my songs, and politely or not-so-politely tell me that I wasn’t quite “there” yet, I built a strong catalog of songs. By then, the idea of being a professional songwriter had grown on me. One day, miraculously, I was hired by a little music publishing company called Zamalama Music as their first staff writer (cue the Rocky theme song).
It turned out that this job gave me valuable lessons in how to prepare myself mentally every morning to “show up and write” whether I was feeling creative or not. I made sure to arrive at those blind date co-writes with lots of potential titles and ideas to jump start our meetings. I learned to leave my ego at the door and do what was best for the song. Most importantly, I found an inner confidence that only comes when your songs have been rejected so many times, you can laugh and moooove on! Here’s a picture of the bay window of the Zamalama writers room on Music Row where I eventually co-penned a hit song!
Check out the staff writer experience for yourself:
A SPECIAL EVENT PITCH – STAFF WRITER FOR A DAY! This is your opportunity to be selected by Kirby Smith, Creative Director of WinSongs Music Publishing, for a chance to find out what it’s like to be a professional staff songwriter for a day, including a meeting with Kirby and a CO-WRITING SESSION with hit songwriter, Sandy Ramos! Read about our guests.
Let me introduce you to my friend, Diona Devincenzi (isn’t that one of the lovliest names you’ve ever heard?). I met Diona, a talented singer-songwriter, in the early 1990’s when we were both fairly new to the “Nashville thing.” Perhaps she’ll remember the story about how back in the day, when we were all pretty broke, she invited Danny and me for a dinner at her place. Having gotten used to eating a lot of vegetarian Pot Lucks with friends, I was shocked that she and her fella, Jerry, served us a REAL meal…appetizers, main dish with meat, dessert…the whole kaboodle! She chuckled at my delight. Ah, those fond memories of being a starving artist.
Diona has remained on the cutting edge of the songwriting business, traveling back and forth from Nashville to the West Coast. I’ve always admired what a hard worker and go-getter she is. Here’s one of my favorite articles from her blog Savvy Songwriter. You can find out more about her (besides that it’s grand to be invited to her house for dinner) at her website dionadevincenzi.com
10 FACTS ABOUT MUSIC LICENSING THAT WILL PUT YOU IN A GOOD MOOD
I’ve been hearing and reading a lot of doom and gloom about the music industry lately. Articles which lament the demise of the value of music and the dwindling earnings from making and selling it. So I wanted to present a different perspective in an area of the music business that is actually thriving: MUSIC LICENSING.
Here are 10 facts about music licensing that will put you (or should put you) in a good mood.
1. YOU CAN ACTUALLY MAKE SOME MONEY AT IT Yes, you actually can. You’re not going to get rich with just one placement, but if you are a prolific writer with many songs that are placeable, you can make some decent money. BUT, be prepared to be patient because it won’t roll in over night.
2. THERE ARE MILLIONS OF OPPORTUNITIES TO PLACE YOUR SONGS IN FILM/T.V. AND MULTI-MEDIA EACH YEAR
According to IMDB (Internet Movie Database) there were over 2,000,000 opportunities to place your songs in film & television just last year alone.
3. YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE 20 SOMETHING.
Those years are past me and many others I know in the music licensing business, but that doesn’t matter because what people need desperately are songs to place with their visual production. And they don’t care how old you are. They only care how good your song is and how it might fit their project.
4. IT’S A RAPIDLY GROWING INDUSTRY.
In fact, it’s the only part of the music industry that is growing, besides touring. Need we talk about CD sales? No, already done. But as content is king, so are songs.
5. YOU CAN WRITE IN MULTIPLE GENRES.
If you want to, you can write in every genre imaginable, and even some that are new hybrids. If you want to write a pop/rock song, go for it. If you want to tackle a Bollywood tune, no problem. You get to write whatever you want, as long as it’s commercial.
6. IF YOU WRITE BOTH LYRICS AND MUSIC, THEN YOU BASICALLY HAVE YOURSELF TWO TRACKS FOR THE PRICE OF ONE.
Many times a music supervisor (decision maker) will ask for and use the instrumental track versus the vocal one. Well, no problem, you literally have 2 songs – one with both lyrics and music and one with just the music. You double your opportunities as well as your catalog. And that’s just a side benefit.
7. YOU’RE GOING WHERE THE MUSIC INDUSTRY IS HEADING.
We all see the writing on the wall when it comes to CD sales. It’s all about streaming these days. If you’re writing for the music licensing opportunities, then you’re at the forefront of where music will be in the future. Sure, no one can really tell the future. But with all of the cable channels and new networks and “screens” popping up to enjoy content, there is a growing marketplace for usage of songs. If you’re not thinking about music licensing then you’re out of the game.
8. YOU DON’T HAVE TO HAVE A PUBLISHING DEAL. Middlemen are disappearing in the music industry, much like a lot of other industries. There are more and more opportunities to pitch your songs directly to the gatekeepers, thanks to technology allowing for direct access. You couldn’t do this 20 years ago. So welcome to the directness. Just make sure you are prepared when you do pitch your songs though, because as the saying goes, “You only one chance to make a first impression”.
9. THERE ARE RESOURCES TO LEARN MORE ABOUT MUSIC LICENSING.
I scoured the four corners of the earth to find out all I could about music licensing when I started getting involved. I still consume all things music licensing in the way of books, blogs, articles, podcasts etc. In fact, I’m in the process of writing an e-book right now on it. And thanks to Google search and the like, all the stuff you need to know about music licensing is at the tips of your fingers.
10. IT’S A THRILL WHEN YOU HEAR YOUR SONG IN A FAVORITE TELEVISION SHOW, MOVIE OR AD.
We all write songs because we love it. Well, this part of the glory of your hard work is really gratifying. ‘Cuz you get to tell all your friends and family about your latest rockstar placement.
Diona Devincenzi is a songwriter/producer born in San Francisco and hanging her hat in Nashville. Check out her blogs at Savvy Songwriter .
We’re often asked why so many of the SongU.com pitch leads for original songs are for the Country genre. The reason is a fairly simple one: Country is one of the rare popular genres of music in which many of the major artists are open to recording “outside” songs. What does that mean? It means that they are willing to listen to and record a song that they did not write or co-write themselves. My friend, song plugger Jeffrey Nelson, regularly compiles a list of major-label Country artists who have recorded outside songs. In the last part of last year, he counted 27 Country artists who recorded 50-100% outside songs on their albums, and another large group who recorded at least one or more outside song. Some of those songs were written by songwriters who hadn’t previously had a major-label artist record their songs. In other words, there are still many big Country artists who believe in the power of a great song no matter where it comes from. Garth Brooks, Tim McGraw, George Strait, Kenny Chesney, Martina McBride, and Faith Hill are all notorious for recording great outside songs. Thus, they all can boast an incredible number of hits.
This is in sharp contrast with most of the Pop and Hip-Hop stars, who create their hits in the studio together with a group of other musicians and songwriters who contribute beats/tracks, topline melodies, lyrics, and hooks. Often these major artists rely on only the hottest hit makers and producers like Max Martin or Dr. Luke or Pharrell, making it much more difficult for an untested songwriter to insert themselves into their projects.
Admittedly, some of the iconic pop singers like Barbra Streisand and Whitney Houston, for example, always depended on great outside songs, as have some of the more current pop stars such as Rhianna. And while this year’s Shawn Mendes’ hit song “Stiches” was written by Daniel Parker, Teddy Geiger, and Daniel Kyriakides, and Selena Gomez didn’t write her hit “Same Old Love”, major-label pop opportunities are decidedly tougher to come by. Rock/Pop bands tend to build their reputation on the strength of their own sound and their own self-written songs and unique vibe.
If I don’t write Country, how do I get my songs recorded?
Where does that leave you in terms of pitching if you’re writing Pop, Rock, Hip-Hop, Electronic, Retro, Americana, Classical-Operatic, or a variety of other valid genres?
1) Independent Artists. – If smaller indie artists cut your song on their album, it probably won’t net you much (if any) income, but there are still many advantages. First, it’s simply flattering that your song speaks to an artist so much that they want to sing it and record it for their audience. Also, it’s a good way to get a new recording (demo) of your song that you can use to pitch to bigger artists. In addition, it’s exposure for your song. Songwriter Jon Ims, for example, tells the story of how a local band had recorded one of his songs on their album and took it to Nashville in hopes of landing a record deal. While in Nashville, they played it for a big record producer. That producer, Garth Fundis, had no interest in signing the band, but loved the song Jon wrote called “She’s In Love With The Boy”. Fundis decided to record that song on his new act, Trisha Yearwood. Needless to say, “She’s In Love With The Boy” became Trisha’s breakout single and launched a stellar career for her AND for songwriter Jon Ims (who after moving from Colorado to Nashville that same year had another hit single “Fallin’ Out of Love” for Reba McEntire).
2) Placements in Film/TV/Media. – Films, TV shows, commercials and other alternative media always need music but don’t want to pay top dollar to get big hits by by big stars. That leaves the door open for you if you’re writing songs that have a certain “sound” or specific genre that they just happen to need. We had several members get Country songs placed in the TV show “Nashville” for example. But the song needs are as vast and varied as the media itself. If you’re writing in any genre, there’s a chance to get your song placed.
At SongU.com we offer regular opportunities by our guest music supervisor, Nancy Peacock, who will give us current leads from her contacts with production companies. She’s taken our members’ songs for specific leads, but also for a non-exclusive contract to pitch on comp tapes that she sends out when there is a need (i.e. love songs for Valentine’s Day commercials that can also be used for background music in a movie or TV show).
The occasional unexpected opportunities come along too. Through an odd encounter I had at the Jersey shore, I was able to put up an exclusive listing for our members to submit their songs to the music supervisor for the NBC Olympic Games in Beijiing. Over 50 songs from our members went to those games!
We have a great series of DIY webcasts by Benn Cutarelli and Dan Robinson called “The Next Rung” all about how to get your songs into film/TV/and media. They’ll let you how their song got into the major motion picture “The Longest Yard.” Go to the DIY course catalog to find these courses.
3) Network and Collaborate. – The Jon Ims story above reminds us that networking at any level, even locally, has the potential to yield big results. Other important network outlets are music publishers and songpluggers, performing rights organization reps, and of course your peers. The new songwriters and aspiring artists of today, might be the next big thing tomorrow.
Breakout Country music superstar, Kelsea Ballerini, said in an interview recently that her first album is a bunch of songs written by her and her friends. Her friends were unknown emerging songwriters that had been networking and co-writing and sticking with it. They were all just doing the “hang in there” thing that we do when we’re creative people wanting to earn a living through our efforts. Sometimes you get lucky. It paid off for one of our SongU.com alumni, Lance Carpenter, who was one Kelsea’s co-writer friends on her #1 Platinum-certified breakout song “Love Me Like You Mean It” which skyrocketed her into the spotlight. Chalk one up for breaking in to the music business! (Also known as ten years to overnight success.)
Additonally, several of our members have had great success with smaller music markets. Two different members, Barbara Wilkinson and Ed Williams both had #1 songs on the Bluegrass Charts with separate artists. Another, Don Eidman, was nominated for a Dove Award for best Christian song (Bluegrass), and another, Pat Kelley, had a single with a major Christian artist as well. Just this month, Canadian-based SongU.com member, Stephen Adrian Lawrance, broke into the major-label Canadian Country market with an “outside” song for Aaron Pritchett, “When a Momma’s Boy Meets a Daddy’s Girl” (co-written with A. Godvin/M. Webber) with the assistance of previously-mentioned song plugger Jeffrey Nelson, who he met through SongU.com. Find details of those successes here.
Remember that you can choose to look beyond the roadblocks and find alternative routes to success. The only real reason to write songs is because you love doing it. There are no guarantees except the ability to enjoy the ride. Sure, that ride can be bumpy, maybe take longer than you anticipated (“Mom, when are we gonna get there!”), but it’s always rewarding, not to mention fun, to follow your passion.
I’m making a little joke here. I found this in my computer files. I can’t recall how I originally got it and haven’t found the source (if you do, let me know). But it still makes me laugh and there’s definitely a grain of truth – or the entire loaf of bread of truth – in this list. So without further ado, here’s what songwriters really need to know:

Emilia Fox to front new true crime series for Channel 4
Emilia Fox is to front a new documentary series for Channel 4 looking into unsolved murders.
The actor will be joined by Professor David Wilson for new three-part series In The Footsteps of Killers (w/t).
Each hour long episode will be shot like a drama, with each episode seeing Silent Witness star Fox and criminologist Wilson (Interview With A Murderer) reopen a cold case.
Channel 4 say the show “will use the latest in forensic science and criminological research to shed new light on these troubling cases, looking for new leads the original investigation may have missed.
“Travelling to the locations of the crime, Emilia and David will interview the witnesses, suspects and friends and family of the victims, and attempt to build a picture of what exactly happened.”
Production is due to begin in the summer, adhering to the most up to date Government guidelines on social distancing, personal safety and filming restrictions.
Emilia Fox Said: “I am delighted that Alaska and Channel 4 have given David and I the chance to explore and shed light on these fascinating unsolved cases. We will use this platform to raise awareness and hopefully bring new evidence to these true crime cases which have gone under the radar.”
Professor David Wilson added: “I am delighted to be working again with Emilia and now back on Channel 4 where in 2017 I presented the award-winning Interview with a Murderer. It’s like coming home. This series is going to take true crime in a different direction by using new criminological techniques to shine a light on unsolved cases which have for too long remained in the dark.
“Our goal in every episode is to get justice for the victims and I sincerely believe that is possible. This true crime is crime fact that looks like crime fiction, but we never forget that these are genuine cases that we are discussing and that real people died.”
Fatima Salaria, Commissioning Editor commented, “I’m delighted to have Emilia Fox and David Wilson join forces for this bold new take on true crime, a series that will have the thrills of drama but is underpinned by state-of-the-art science and investigation.
“As a team they bring intelligence and empathy and my hope is that by shedding new light on these crimes we may help bring the perpetrators to justice once and for all.”
Ian Lamarra, Creative Director at programme makers Alaska TV, said: “In The Footsteps of Killers continues Alaska’s pedigree of packaging the very best scripted talent with blue chip, internationally-appealing, premium non-fiction.
“With Professor David, the UK’s leading Criminologist, completing the team, I’m excited about this true crime series that looks and feels like crime drama. I’m sure the combination of Emilia and David’s enthusiasm and expertise on and off screen, will bring fans of both genres to the show.”

CBDT begins probe into functioning of Tarun Tejpal firm, share transfers under watch
January, 02nd 2014
The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has started a full-fledged inquiry into the functioning of Anant Media Pvt Ltd, the flagship company owned by Tarun Tejpal. On December 23, instructions were issued to assessment officers to start inquiries encompassing share transfers, source of investments in what are described as "entry providing companies", as well as the evasion of capital gains tax, to a "logical conclusion".
The on-going inquiry is based on the fact that on two dates in 2006, eight shareholders of Anant Media — which publishes Tehelka magazine — transferred 25,758 shares to a company called Englightened Consultancy Services (earlier known as A K Gurtu Holdings). On the same date, Tejpal himself acquired 4,125 shares of Anant Media from two Mumbai-based shareholders, thus substantially increasing his stake in the company.
The rate at which the shares were sold was not declared by the company, as per documents available on the website of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. Further, none of the shareholders of Anant Media, except Inderjit Tejpal (Tarun's father), declared capital gains in their annual income tax returns for the relevant year. In the case of Inderjit Tejpal too, initial scrutiny has shown, the "nature and working" of the LTCG (Long Term Capital Gain) is not ascertainable from the Income Tax details on the database.
Scrutiny further shows that after the 2006 share transfer, the company issued shares at an "exhorbitantly high premium" of Rs 13,189 per share for 2006-07 and 2007-08, Rs 11,810 and Rs 10,623 for 2008-09, and Rs 2,505 for 2011-12, to various companies.
The CBDT has now informed its investigation wing that "most of the companies from whom such huge share premium is shown to have been received appear to be entry providing companies".
COO Neena Tejpal said, "If the Income Tax Department is initiating an inquiry, we will take stock of it at the right time... All our accounts and brand valuation are in order. As far as I know, everything is in the clear."

Researchers from the University of Florida, alongside CertiK, have come up with a theoretical attack, called "VoltSchemer" (PDF), that allows for wireless charger takeover through power supply voltage manipulation.
The attack could allow threat actors to damage charging devices, bypass Qi standard's mechanisms, and manipulate voice assistants. It would be able to do this by exploiting voltage noises from the power supply.
The Qi standard was developed by the Wireless Power Consortium and handles communication among the power adapter, wireless charger, and charging device.
Wireless chargers rely on near-field magnetic coupling for power transfer, making them more secure than wired chargers. The power signals used for power transfers, however, could be modified to control Qi communication between the charged device and the charger, allowing a threat actor to instruct the charger to perform malicious acts.
"The schemed voltage noises from the power adapter can propagate through the power cable and modulate the power signals on the charger's transmitter coil due to the effects of electromagnetic interference (EMI) on the charger," the researchers stated in the paper.
The researchers also noted that they've tested their theoretical attacks against nine different commercial wireless chargers and found them all to be vulnerable.

Company to Feature Insertable Magmeter
Marsh-McBirney will feature the Multi-Mag Insertable Magmeter for 1, 2 or 3 inch taps at the 2006 American Water Works Association Conference.
Marsh-McBirney will feature the Multi-Mag Insertable Magmeter for 1, 2 or 3 inch taps at the 2006 American Water Works Association Conference. The Multi-Mag has become one of the most popular and effective products ever produced by Marsh-McBirney because of its ability to measure flow in “less than ideal” conditions.
Marsh-McBirney Multi-Mag flow meter.
Marsh-McBirney was a pioneer in the field of insertion electromagnetic flowmeters. The company’s first product to combine the accuracy of electromagnetic velocity measurement with the ease of installation of an insertable probe was introduced in 1976.
At the time, its insertion magmeters were unique in their ability to perform a “profile” of pipe velocities - enabling the user to site calibrate the instrument and achieve improved accuracy. Further research and development led to a single probe with multiple sensors capable of “profiling” the velocity distribution on a continuous basis.
With the system, an array of five electromagnetic sensors are strategically placed along a single probe body. Each sensor consists of a single independent magnetic coil and electrode pair. They are positioned such that each sensor represents an equal area of the flow. This method produces an area-weighted average velocity which in turn is used to calculate flow.
Each Multi-Mag sensor is custom-built by Marsh-McBirney to the exact specifications supplied by the customer. Building sensors to exact inside pipe diameters ensures the highest possible accuracy. The result of this unique design is a cost effective flowmeter that accurately measures flow in applications where piping configurations are less than ideal.

Port Company Resorts to Bully Boy Tactics Before Mediation S
Media Release Rail & Maritime Transport Union 6th May 2014
Port Company Resorts to Bully Boy Tactics Before Mediation Says Union
The Rail and Maritime Union (RMTU) says Lyttleton Port Company (LPC) is trying to intimidate port and rail workers ahead of tomorrow’s mediation to try and settle the continuing industrial thdispute at the port.
Eleven of LPC’s Logistics Officers, who plan and run the operation of the loading and unloading of ships, have been taking limited industrial action since last Friday and are saying they will stop work for two days from 17 May.
‘This afternoon we received a threatening letter from the Port’s lawyers saying they had heard we were considering pickets if tomorrow’s mediation is unsuccessful and if we mounted pickets that “interfere with the company’s employment agreement and operations” -whatever that might mean- then they will apply to the courts for an injunction and also sue us for damages,’ said John Kerr, RMTU South Island Organiser.
‘This all seems a little premature given we have agreed to enter into a mediated conference to try and resolve this dispute tomorrow. Clearly, if LPC are intransigent and the negotiations fail then we will be looking at all of our options, including picketing to inform others about the actions of LPC, but we fail to understand what is unlawful about a peaceful picket explaining our position to other port workers and to rail workers and truck drivers who bring goods to and from the port,’ he said.
‘We also have the right to peacefully demonstrate to get our point across to the public. This dispute is over $10000, which is the difference between the Port Company’s offer of a 2.85% wage rise and our claim of 4%. So for $10000 it could be resolved, and yet instead of negotiating LPC seems to prefer intimidation and would rather spend the money on lawyer’s letters,’ he said.
‘LPC is largely owned by Christchurch City Council through its investment arm Christchurch City Holdings, the public have a right to know what is going on,’ he said.
‘The RMTU would much rather LPC got back to doing business rather than threatening its workers,’ he said
‘We hope LPC come to tomorrow’s mediation in a more conciliatory frame of mind,’ he said.

If you're in your twenties and thirties right now, there's a non-zero chance that you grew up listening to the kind of emo music created by boy bands where everyone wore Hot Topic skinny jeans, straightened their hair, and just completely dripped with a specific type of sexual magnetism that changed you forever.
Lately, as a full-grown 26-year-old "adult," I've been wondering what all those ~singer boys~ have been up to lately. Like, are they all married? Are they still with the band? Have I totally missed the time window when I could have run away with one of them on a tour bus into the Warped Tour sunset??
So obviously, I started to do some research on the biggest crushes I'd had over those awkward "I think I identify as emo but also I'm maybe open to being scene, who knows, please follow my Tumblr" teenage years — and here's what I found out:
3. Patrick Stump, the other notorious Fall Out Boy heartthrob, is also still with the band, and on the side, he's been composing film scores.
4. Nick Santino, the frontman with amazing hair from A Rocket to the Moon, was in a different band for a bit, but he's also been working as a graphic designer.
5. Travie MCoy, the guy with great hats from Gym Class Heroes, has been rocking a huge solo rapper/singer/songwriter career, and you can probably see him perform this summer!
6. John O'Callaghan and the rest of The Maine are still going strong — they just released their seventh album in March!
7. Christofer Drew, from Never Shout Never, just wrapped up a final world tour with the group last winter.
8. Travis Clark, the one with the luscious red hair from We the Kings, is married and has two kids, with a third on their way.
9. Derek Sanders and Mayday Parade played at the very last Warped Tour during summer 2018, and they're still touring this summer for Sunnyland, their sixth album.
10. Gerard Way, the My Chemical Romance lead who taught us all how to use eyeliner properly once and for all, has been writing comic book series — and you can watch the TV adaptation of his book The Umbrella Academy on Netflix!
11. Meanwhile, Mikey Way, the MCR bassist, has been cowriting a comic called Collapser that's coming out next month via DC Comics.
12. Maika Maile, the singer with the verrrry moody eyes from There for Tomorrow, has been putting a few singles out on Spotify and also has turned into quite a silvery fox.
15. Martin Johnson from Boys Like Girls is now the frontman for a new wave band called The Night Game, and he was recently dubbed "the most exciting frontman since Bruno Mars," which I honestly believe.
16. Tyson Ritter, The All-American Rejects guy, has been leveling up his acting career: He was in the AMC show Lodge 49 last year and now plays a recurring character in Preacher.
17. Andrew McMahon, of Something Corporate/Jack's Mannequin fame, released his third solo album in 2018 and is touring this summer/fall under the moniker of "Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness."
So, what did we learn today, kids? First and foremost: that even the most punk rock emo boi of your dreams will one day grow up and turn into a (still pretty hot) dad. And secondly, most of these guys are still out there making music in some way or another, which is also very encouraging and lovely. My still-beating emo heart is content.
Tyson Ritter played Emma Stone's romantic interest in The House Bunny, not Anna Faris's, as some of you eagle-eyed commenters pointed out. Niiiice catch!

Good morning my crafty friends!
I'm up on the Kat Scrappiness blog today and I have a fun card featuring the
brand new You Guac My World stamp set!
I just love those cute avocados and they can really be used for so
many different themed cards!
I used quite a few Kat Scrappiness products on this card.
Here's how I put it together:
To begin with I made a square card base from kraft card stock
and I embossed the front with a heart embossing folder.
Next I took the largest Stitched Scalloped Heart Die and die
cut it out of white card stock. Since I wanted to make a shaker
element out of the heart I used a smaller Layered Nested Heart Die
to cut a smaller heart shape out of the layered heart.
Once I had the middle heart cut out, I layered acetate over the
heart shaped opening on the back of the scalloped heart.
I then used foam tape around the heart shaped opening to make
a well to put my shaker bits into.
I used the Sparkling Wintergreen Sequins and the
Mirrored Clear Solid Heart Confetti to fill my shaker window.
Once the shaker was full I backed the heart with some light green
patterned paper from the Lawn Fawn Gotta Have Gingham
paper pack. Once I glued the shaker element down, I layered the
2 cute avocados on the bottom right of the heart that I had previously
colored with my Copic markers and cut out on my Scan n Cut machine.
The sentiment is from the same stamp set and I stamped it onto black card stock
using Versamark clear ink and then heat embossed it with
I have tried MANY MANY white embossing powder brands in the past
and this one is the first one to give me a bright white finish without
fading away while heating it with my heat gun.
It's definitely my new favorite white embossing powder!
Once the sentiment was embossed and cooled off, I cut it out
using a die from the Stitched Fishtail Banner Dies.
Speaking of favorites, Kat Scrappiness just released their own
Metal Die Snips to cut apart your dies that come wired together.
close to the die so it doesn't leave any sharp edges. They make clipping your
dies apart a breeze! Make sure to check them out in the shop today!
Here's a picture of all the supplies I used on my shaker card today.
Thank you so much for joining me today! I really had fun making this card,
shakers are my favorite type of card to make and I just adore
those cute avocados from the new You Guac My World stamp set!
If you are interested in any of the Kat Scrappiness products I used
for today's card you can use my code LISA10 at checkout and save
10% off your order anytime you shop!
Have a great day, I already am!
