Chrysalis/Warner Music [Release date 17.03.14]
A growing trend in recent times is for labels to re-package a band’s albums in facsimilie sleeves. Invariably these are fairly basic, with no bonus tracks, credits, or enlightening essay. As a quick fix, and usually for a reasonable price, they offer good value and are ripe for ripping to your iPod or MP3 player.
Where the UFO (and also a similar Saxon set) has the edge is in the inclusion of bonus tracks. They’ve mostly been available before on the single-disc reissues (2007/9) but for first-timers they are a worthy addition.
Phenomenon was their first album to feature guitarist Michael Schenker and it has the classic ‘Doctor Doctor’, although songs like ‘Space Child’ don’t stand up so well all these years later. Five bonus tracks including ‘Sixteen’, a previously unreleased song on here in demo and finished version (the demo along with a demo version of ‘Oh My’ were both produced by Dave Edmunds). There is also a great live version of ‘Doctor Doctor’.
Two German only songs complete the set, namely ‘Give Her the Gun’ and ‘Sweet Little Thing’. UFO had certainly found their hard rock style on this album and would go on to refine it further over the next few albums. ***
Force It is a UFO ‘must have’ album in our book and their first to feature keyboards (provided here by Ten Years After band member Chick Churchill). You’ve got so many great rock tunes on here like ‘Let It Roll’, ‘Mother Mary’, ‘Shoot Shoot’ plus the epic ‘This Kid/Between The Walls’ when UFO go all Wishbone Ash in the second part of the song!
Three bonus songs on here, two being live versions of album songs and ‘A Million Miles’ is previously unreleased. This is a good slow UFO song, starting off with Phil Mogg and the piano before stepping up a gear when the rest of the band joins in. ****
No Heavy Petting saw Danny Peyronal join on keyboards (although he was gone by the band’s next studio release). Musically it is a mixed bag with ‘Martian Landscape’, the Peyronal penned ‘Highway Lady’ and ‘Can You Roll Her’ stand out songs.
The bonus songs are a very enjoyable cover of the Small Faces ‘All Or Nothing’, along with four previously unreleased songs – ‘French Kisses’ (nice little rock ‘n’ roller), ‘Have You Seen Me Lately Joan’ (an average UFO mid tempo rocker), ‘Tonight Tonight’ and ‘All The Strings’. ***½
1977′s Lights Out was the first UFO album to make extensive use of strings and includes ‘Love To Love’ which remains a staple in their stage act to this day. It was also the band’s first album produced by Ron Nevison who worked with them on the follow up, although after that it wasn’t until 1995 that they would be reunited. ****
Obsession was the last studio album featuring Michael Schenker until his return to the band in 1983. Some reviewers have described this album as “patchy” but still it yielded several songs that the band continue to play live including ‘Only You Can Rock Me’, ‘Cherry’ and ‘Ain’t No Baby’. The band even attempt another power ballad in ‘Lookin’ Out For No.1′ complete with more of Alan McMillan’s string arrangements. ***1/2
No Place To Run was Paul Raymond’s last album with the band before he left (only to rejoin back in the 90′s) and the debut recording by new guitarist Paul Chapman. Perhaps not one of the band’s best although the cover of the Elvis tune ‘Mystery Train’ still graces the live set today and is a damn fine rocker.
‘Anyday’ and ‘Gone In The Night’ are classic UFO hard rock tunes, great vocals from Phil Mogg coupled with tight rhythm and hard rockin’ guitar. But the title track and the very dated instrumental ‘Alpha Centauri’ are very lacklustre.
One for fans only and the band’s next two albums featuring Paul Chapman are much better investments for your collection. ***
The Wild, The Willing & The Innocent was originally released in 1981 and the second album to feature Paul Chapman (ex-Lone Star) era of UFO plus the the debut of Neil Carter on keyboards (although Jon Sloman played uncredited keys on this album). This remastered version adds three bonus songs – live versions of ‘Lonely Heart’, ‘Long Gone’ and ‘Makin’ Moves’.
There are some classic UFO hard rockers on here in the shape of ‘Chains, Chains’ and ‘Long Gone’ highlights some very tasty sax and piano parts. Paul Chapman lets fly with a short but sweet solo as well, midway through. The ballad ‘Profession Of Violence’ closes the album and Chapman really comes into his own on the wonderful soloing – tight and melodic yet never OTT.
Great album all round and proves the band could still cut it after Michael Schenker had left the band. ****
Mechanix was one of the albums to feature guitarist Paul Chapman and also on keyboards/sax was Neil Carter, joining the long standing trio of vocalist Phil Mogg, bassist Pete Way and drummer Andy Parker.
Kicking off with ‘The Writer’ you have a superb song, big guitar riff and the way the keyboard solo segues into a sax then the guitar solo is sheer bliss to the ears. In fact the use of sax on here is never OTT but greatly adds to some songs including the b-side ‘Heel Of A Stranger’, a cracking melodic rock song added on this release as a bonus track.
The band do some very commercial tunes as well like ‘Let It Rain’ and of course Phil Mogg gets to pour his heart out in the big production number ‘Terri’, UFO do like using their string sections!
‘We Belong To The Night’ and ‘Feel It’ keep the hard rock quota going nicely whilst the band’s cover of Eddie Cochran’s rock ‘n’ roll classic ‘Somethin’ Else’ you will either love or hate but it is a good cover and, again, the sax added to the guitar works very well.
Bonus songs are the aforementioned b-side plus three live songs – ‘We Belong To The Night’ (complete with ‘Hello Oxford’ intro very Spinal Tap), ‘Let It Rain’ and ‘Doing It All For You’.
One of the band’s best albums and this re-release/re-master is worthy of a place in your collection. ****
Founder member/bassist Pete Way had left the band by the time of Making Contact (1983). Many regard this as UFO-lite with only Phil Mogg now remaining from the original line-up and the spark of Schenker missing. The album also sounds less like the band of old and more American AOR-influenced, a bug that fellow journeymen Uriah Heep were also to catch at this time. Three bonus tracks including the b-side ‘Everybody Knows’. ***
The band split after the tour promoting ‘Making Contact’ and the following album Misdemeanour (1985) was like a last gasp. Although Mogg managed to re-enlist Paul Chapman, the guitar and keyboard player would leave the band after their US tour in summer 1986.
Again the album has AOR stylings with Tommy McClendon (Atomik Tommy M) on guitar and if assessed on its own merits, rather than as a UFO album, it isn’t bad. Bolstered here with several US remixes and the b-side ‘the Chase’. The album features one-time Magnum drummer Jim Simpson and one or two tracks are a little Magnum-esque in an early eighties sort of way. ****
It would be another seven years before UFO re-convened properly for their next album with yet another line-up. Whilst the common denominator is Phil Mogg, it wasn’t until 1995 that the “classic” line-up reformed for the excellent ‘Walk On Water’.
This box set is another great way of catching up, especially if you never bought the remasters several years ago. However, buyers should also be aware that the first five albums were re-issued in ‘The Original Album Series’ as recently as January 2014 – but with no bonuses.
The latest boxed set contains studio albums so you don’t get the classic ‘Strangers In the Night’ although that appears in the 5-CD set ‘The Chrysalis Years 1973-1979′, issued in 2011. This included BBC sessions as well as a previously unreleased US gig recorded in 1974.
Duplication – and recycling – therefore abounds and it is perhaps a pity that the compilers of the latest box didn’t include an extra disc which contained these “extras”. The lack of any legible credits and lyrics is another omission although many punters will not miss the mandatory Malcolm Dome liner notes.

Recent genome wide association (GWA) studies suggested that type II diabetes (T2D) is associated with TCF7L2 (or TCF4) polymorphisms.1 TCF7L2/TCF4 is a transcription factor involved in the Wnt-signaling pathway, which plays an important role in colorectal carcinogenesis.Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is a syndrome caused by germline mutations in the APC gene. APC gene defects lead to nuclear accumulation of β-catenin, and formation of β-catenin/TCF4 complexes, which enhances the expression of the Wnt-target genes.2 Recent studies reported activation of the Wnt-signaling pathway in pancreatic cells in T2D patients, as well as in mice on a high-fat diet.3 On the basis of these observations, we hypothesize that FAP patients are at increased risk of T2D.
To evaluate the prevalence of T2D in FAP, we used the Dutch Polyposis Registry Database and the outcome of a recent cross-sectional study on the psychosocial impact of FAP.4 Eligible participants were those with a clinically and/or genetically proven FAP diagnosis. A questionnaire that addressed psychosocial issues and clinical variables, including questions about the presence of diabetes, was mailed in 2006. The study was approved by the ethical committees of both the Netherlands Cancer Institute and the Netherlands Foundation for the Detection of Hereditary Tumours. The prevalence of T2D in the study group was compared with that reported for the Dutch general population.5 The standardized morbidity ratio (SMR) was calculated to evaluate whether the prevalence in the study group differs from that in the general population. The 95% confidence interval was calculated using the program confidence interval analysis, version 1.
Information was received on 341 FAP patients. Seventeen patients reported to have diabetes (16 T2D and 1 diabetes type I). All cases were confirmed by medical records and/or the general practitioner. One patient was excluded because of Whipple surgery for duodenal polyposis. The mean age of the remaining 15 T2D patients was 55.3 years (range: 35–75 years). The prevalence of T2D in the study group and in the general population is shown in Table 1. The prevalence of T2D in FAP patients was significantly higher than expected (SMR: 2.22; 95% confidence interval: 1.24–3.65).
Recent studies suggested that variants of TCF7L2/TCF4 are associated with the development of T2D.1,6,7 Also laboratory studies suggested that the Wnt-signaling pathway is involved in T2D. FAP is caused by APC gene defects, which lead to the activation of this pathway. This is the first clinical study that demonstrated a significantly increased prevalence of T2D in FAP patients, which supports the role of the Wnt-signaling pathway in T2D. Future studies should explore the mechanism of the development of T2D in the presence of an activated Wnt-signaling pathway.

This revamped and relentlessly green seafood shack-the new decor includes a pair of agreeable hand-painted murals-presents the usual fried selections, but also imparts a southern Italian twist, where appropriate. If the garlic crabs are not ready yet, get the garlic shrimp: five shell-on beauties "pressure cooked" with Old Bay seasoning, garlic, and hot sauce. Maybe there's a dash of Worcestershire in there too; the flavor is unforgettable. Good too are the fish sticks-stubby fillets that taste better than you'd expect sided with steak fries and coleslaw.

After successfully partnering with Epsilon Esports for over 3 years, Hype Energy is excited to announce its new gaming brand ambassador from the Epsilon eSports Call of Duty (CoD) line-up.
Dave Davis, better known as Dqvee, will be supported throughout the year as an official Hype Energy ambassador, as the premium energy drinks brand continues its strong growth across gaming and esports.
Davies began his journey into CoD esports with Black Ops II, and attended his first competitive event playing Advanced Warfare, where he placed T16.
His early successes set the ball rolling, and with that momentum he has led Epsilon eSports to multiple successful Call of Duty World League finishes over the last year, including two top 1 finishes and 2 more top 4 finishes in 2017. Fuelled by Hype Energy’s premium energy drinks, Dqvee is raising his status around the world as one of Europe’s top CoD players.
With raw gun skill, Dqvee naturally plays in the ‘Slayer’ role and makes the most of his vast knowledge of spawn locations to gain control of the map and harass the enemy team from all angles. Supported by the #EpsiCoD lineup of Hawqeh, Vortex and Reedy, Dqvee spends most of his time at the top of the leaderboard.
Dqvee: “After being a part of Epsilon eSports for nearly 2 years now, we have always worked closely with Hype Energy during my stay and I love the image Hype Energy brings and the backing they give us! With that being said I am extremely thrilled to now be an ambassador for Hype Energy and I look forward to see what the future holds!”

FOLDS, BODIES & BLOBS.By Greg Lynn Greg Lynn (born 1964), is an American architect, philosopher, and science-fiction writer Life and Work
Lynn graduated cum laude from Miami University (OH) with degrees in Architecture and Philosophy, and Princeton University with a Master's of Architecture. . Brussels: La Lettre Volee. 1998. BF850. In English

New York, Middle Atlantic state of the United States. It is bordered by Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and the Atlantic Ocean (E), New Jersey and Pennsylvania (S), Lakes Erie and Ontario and the Canadian province of : Princeton Architectural Press. 1999. [pounds]28
In US academia today, Greg Lynn is some kind of post-Deconstructionist Wunderkind wun·der·kind
n. pl. wun·der·kin·der
1. A child prodigy.
2. A person of remarkable talent or ability who achieves great success or acclaim at an early age. . Media-savvy and verbally dextrous dex·trous
Variant of dexterous.
Adj. 1. dextrous - skillful in physical movements; especially of the hands; "a deft waiter"; "deft fingers massaged her face"; "dexterous of hand and inventive of mind" , Lynn (35) is leading the way towards understanding the architectural possibilities of the now ubiquitous computer. Here two separate publications neatly package his work to date: Folds, Bodies & Blobs collects a dozen or so essays from 1992 to 1996 whereas Animate Form contains a new introductory essay, eight competition or installation designs, and a nifty CD-ROM CD-ROM: see compact disc.
in full compact disc read-only memory
Type of computer storage medium that is read optically (e.g., by a laser). .
The book from Brussels, coinciding with a Lynn installation there in 1998, is extremely useful to establish the cultural milieu in which its author operates. Originally published in such journals as Any (New York) and Arch+ (Berlin), Lynn's writing persuasively argues for a 'generative theory of complex variation', a blended architecture unlike the 'violent formal conflicts' of the 1980s. Inflicting digs at Rowe and Gwathmey, 'A Physique physique /phy·sique/ (fi-zek´) the body organization, development, and structure.
The body considered with reference to its proportions, muscular development, and appearance. Out of Proportion', Lynn repeatedly quotes (via Derrida) Husserl's 'an exact yet rigorous' prescription for complex geometries
Lynn's greatest hero is biologist D'Arcy Thompson who tracked graphically the morphological nuances of mutant organisms. In the largely visual Princeton publication one sees series of viscous forms undergoing additions multiplications (Lynn loves the 'pli' or fold in the belly of that word) and, in particular, mutations as the architect arrives at actual intentions for Yokohama and Cardiff and galleries in Manhattan and Oslo But not, unfortunately, the New York church recently realized with Garofalo and McInturf.
Whether repetition and change is boring or exhilarating is not completely clear. As Lynn distrusts the Manichaean, perhaps both.

Dubai Inc on a hiring spree, job numbers rising at faster rate
A turnaround in employment took hold this summer and spread as looser travel restrictions revived business. But while headcounts are swelling with freshly recruited cooks and cabin crew, the economy of the Middle East’s commercial center is facing a fraught path to normalcy
What may have been the steepest population decline in the Gulf region is giving way to the hottest jobs market Dubai has seen since China detected its first coronavirus case in December 2019.
A turnaround in employment took hold this summer and spread as looser travel restrictions revived business. But while headcounts are swelling with freshly recruited cooks and cabin crew, the economy of the Middle East's commercial center is facing a fraught path to normalcy.
"We're bringing people back but managing that carefully along with how we see occupancy moving," Mark Kirby, chief operating officer of Emaar Hospitality Group, said in an interview. "Now we're ramping up because the fourth quarter for us is an important time of year."
Owned by the builder of the world's tallest tower, the hotel company is looking to employ 200 to 300 people for a range of posts and is hiring both within the United Arab Emirates and from Asian countries that have been slow to reopen amid longer shutdowns.
As Dubai prepares to kick off the World Expo fair next month, the city's flagship airline, Emirates, is planning to recruit 3,000 cabin crew and 500 airport services employees to join its hub over the next six months. Amazon is meanwhile looking to create 1,500 jobs in the UAE this year.
The lifting of curbs between Dubai and countries such as the US, the UK and Saudi Arabia will have a "massive impact," with about 27 million people passing through this year alone, Dubai Airports CEO Paul Griffiths told Bloomberg Television this week. While labor shortages and hiring difficulties hold back the labor market in parts of Europe and employment is dropping in countries like Australia after the delta variant of coronavirus forced lockdowns, the oil-rich Gulf region can lean on foreign workers to fill most private-sector jobs.
Businesses in Dubai's travel and tourism industry in August saw the sharpest increases in activity and new work in over two years, according to a Purchasing Managers' Index compiled by IHS Markit.
In the Middle East, "we had a really good summer, well above expectations" as travel corridors gradually opened amid rising vaccination rates, Mark Willis, Accor's CEO for India, Middle East, Africa and Turkey.
The hospitality industry "has been rehiring across the board for the past three months," Guy Hutchinson, president and CEO of Abu Dhabi-based hotel operator Rotana, said in an interview. In the past three months, Rotana hired about 400 staff across the UAE and will continue to recruit as it opens new hotels, he said. Rotana was forced to lay off less than 5 per cent of its workforce at the start of the pandemic and by the end of February, it rehired 70 per cent of those who were let go.
Research firm STR Global estimated last year that about 30 per cent of jobs in Dubai's hotel industry were likely to be lost until demand recovers from the pandemic. Occupancy at Emaar's hotels is hovering around 54 per cent while the average daily rate has held up at over 1,000 dirhams per night, Kirby said.
Emaar is opening six hotels this year, including its first property in Istanbul and another in Bahrain. It opened three beach hotels in the UAE last year and will open five others in 2022.
It's having "active discussions" to open three to four Armani hotels in a number of key cities in Saudi Arabia and Europe, Kirby said, declining to elaborate as the agreements haven't been signed yet. Emaar Hospitality operates two Armani hotels, one in the world's tallest tower in Dubai and another in Milan.
While Emaar isn't currently in talks to sell any of its properties, the company is "looking at an asset-light model strategy" for its hotel division, Kirby said. In 2018, Emaar Hospitality Group sold five hotels, including the flagship Address Dubai Mall and Address Boulevard to Abu Dhabi National Hotels. (Bloomberg)

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has released new guidelines to govern public gatherings as countries began reopening their economies.
According to the report, WHO has recommended that public gatherings should only accept guests with proven health records and that organizers must remain alert throughout the event.
The report also dictated that the functions should be held outdoors and arrivals should be staggered while the frequency of transport should be increased.
It also advised that people with Covid-19 symptoms, contacts of Covid-19 cases during their period of quarantine, or those coming from countries/areas with community transmission of Covid-19 should not attend.
Other proposals include designating seating, adjusting the venue capacity, holding events outdoors or virtually, reminding people to observe physical distancing, cough etiquette and hand hygiene practices.
“Since mass gatherings have substantial political, cultural, social, and economic implications, authorities should assess the importance and necessity of an event and consider the option that it may take place, provided all associated public health risks are adequately addressed and mitigated,” the guidelines state.
WHO has also advised people who have pre-existing conditions and those aged above 65 years to stay away from such gatherings.
ATWOLI’S BIG PARTY
Last week, Central Organisation of Trade unions (Cotu) Secretary General Francis Atwoli came under fire from Kenyans for hosting nearly 60 politicians at his home in Kajiado County.
Pictures and videos of the gathering showed invited guests dancing and embracing each other at a time when restrictions on public gatherings have been enforced to curb the spread of coronavirus.
But Atwoli later denied that those in attendance flouted Covid-19 regulations, saying that his guests including Governors, MPs, Devolution Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa and Senate Speaker Ken Lusaka, were tested for coronavirus before they attended the meeting.
He said that two medics were also deployed at his Kajiado home during the Friday meeting to ensure all health protocols to curb the spread of the virus were adhered to.
“I am not a stupid man to invite people without considering the safety guidelines by the Ministry of Health. People were tested before they came in,” said Atwoli.

Few figures of interwar Germany have been as influential as Leopold Schwarzschild, the intense editor of the liberal journal 'Das Tage-Buch'. within the doubtful years of the Weimar Republic, Schwarzschild turned well-known for his perceptive political analyses and critique of the commercial rules of successive governments within the twilight of Germany's first test with democracy.
Temporalities provides a concise serious advent to the remedy of time all through literature. Time and its passage symbolize one of many oldest and most intricate philosophical topics in paintings of all types, and Russell West-Pavlov explains and interrogates crucial theories of temporality throughout more than a few disciplines.
Even supposing the information of Soren Kierkegaard performed a pivotal position within the shaping of mainstream German philosophy and the historical past of French existentialism, the query of the way philosophers should still learn Kierkegaard is a tough one to settle. His intransigent religiosity has led a few philosophers to view him as basically a non secular philosopher of a singularly anti-philosophical perspective who may be left to the theologians.

CFTC Orders Georgia Resident Michael E. Simmons and His Company Global Consortiums, LLC to Pay Restitution and a Civil Monetary Penalty Totaling More than $589,000 for Engaging in Foreign Exchange Commodity Pool Fraud
Washington, DC – The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) today entered an Order requiring Respondents Michael E. Simmons and Global Consortiums, LLC, both of Fayetteville, Georgia, jointly to pay a $360,000 civil monetary penalty and restitution totaling $229,660 for committing fraud and misappropriation in connection with operating a commodity pool that offered leveraged or margined off-exchange foreign currency (forex) transactions. Simmons was the sole owner, president, and chief executive officer of Global Consortiums. Neither Respondent has ever been registered with the CFTC.
The CFTC Order requires Simmons and Global Consortiums to cease and desist from further violations of the Commodity Exchange Act and CFTC regulations, as charged, and permanently bans them from registering, trading, and engaging in other CFTC-regulated activities.
According to the Order, from at least March 2010 through July 2012, Respondents fraudulently solicited and accepted at least $435,985 from at least 10 individuals to participate in a commodity pool to trade forex, but never traded the investors’ funds. Respondents created and distributed account statements to investors that falsely claimed that the commodity pool had traded forex profitably. The Order further finds that instead of investing the funds, Respondents misappropriated at least $217,160 of investors’ funds for non-investment purposes. Although Respondents later partially repaid some of their investors, Respondents still owe investors $229,660, according to the Order.
Additionally, the Order finds that Global Consortiums operated as a Commodity Pool Operator (CPO) without registering as such, as required, and that Simmons acted as an unregistered Associated Person of that CPO.
The CFTC cautions victims that restitution orders may not result in the recovery of money lost because the wrongdoers may not have sufficient funds or assets. The CFTC will continue to fight vigorously for the protection of customers and to ensure the wrongdoers are held accountable.
CFTC Division of Enforcement staff members responsible for this case are Karin N. Roth, Christopher Giglio, Douglas K. Yatter, Lenel Hickson, Jr., and Manal M. Sultan.

CFTC’s Foreign Currency (Forex) Fraud and Commodity Pool Fraud Advisories
The CFTC has issued several customer protection Fraud Advisories that provide the warning signs of fraud, including the Foreign Currency Trading (Forex) Fraud Advisory, which states that the CFTC has witnessed a sharp rise in Forex trading scams in recent years and helps customers identify this potential fraud.
The CFTC has also issued a Commodity Pool Fraud Advisory, which warns customers about a type of fraud that involves individuals and firms, often unregistered, offering investments in commodity pools.
Customers can report suspicious activities or information, such as possible violations of commodity trading laws, to the CFTC Division of Enforcement via a Toll-Free Hotline 866-FON-CFTC (866-366-2382) or file a tip or complaint online.

Passwords could be replaced with 'heartbeat' authentication
Start-up company Bionym claims a wearable will allow users to log-in via heart rhythms
With hacking and data breach stories keeping everyone on high alert about security issues, one start-up company may have come up with an alternative to traditional password authentication in order to keep our sensitive data and files safer.
Canadian company Bionym has created a wearable device that will allow people to use their heartbeat, reports Forbes, bypassing the need for the standard textual passwords that are frequently shown to be relatively unsecure.
The wearable is called the Nymi, and is worn as a wristband that can be used to unlock devices via the wearer's heart rhythm. The sensor on the device measures the heart's electrical activity, and this can be used to gain access in a much more secure way. It is claimed that a person's heart rhythm is as unique as a fingerprint.
Karl Martin, CEO and founder of the company, said in a press release: "We're establishing the Nymi as the de facto platform for persistent, trusted identity, and this round of financing is providing us with the resources needed to bring the platform to market."
There is also scope to use the biometric authentication method with Internet of Things technology, tying into the adoption of smart devices around the home.
Nick Sturiale, Managing Partner of Ignition Partners, added: "We see the Nymi as a potentially game changer. With the breadth and depth of third party application developer commitments, its clear there is tangible excitement at the numerous use cases presented by extending identity and presence from the smart phone onto the wrist."

Provoking an Italian is not difficult.
All it takes is the wrong word about the right soccer team or a leftish opinion about a rightish party. Equally efficient would be an indecent mention about their mother.
All of the above, however, would probably get on anybody’s nerves, regardless of their cultural background.
Having been with an Italian man for the past seven years and knowing many of his friends, their habits, traditions, sensitivities and other peculiarities, I can conclude that there is one guaranteed way to insult an Italian to the core.
We are, of course talking about Italian food, pasta to be precise.
Although pasta is possibly about half of the world’s population’s favorite food, 90 percent of those people are probably eating it the wrong way.
Naturally, adapting recipes to individual or cultural taste is always a tricky business where traditional dishes are concerned, but Italians are particularly sensitive about it.
Please take the following five tips to heart, so that the next time you share a meal with Italians, you escape being banished from their dinner table for the rest of your life.
1) The Greatest Sin
Never, ever, ever, I repeat, never, ever, ever pour tomato ketchup over your pasta. Tomato ketchup is the most evil and hated ingredient in the Italian kitchen.
Proper tomato sauce is cooked with onions, fresh tomatoes, salt and if necessary, a pinch of sugar. Proper tomato sauce is not made of tomato concentrate, distilled vinegar, high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, salt, spice, onion powder and natural flavoring—which would be the recipe for tomato ketchup.
So, I emphasize, do not spoil a beautiful plate of pasta by squeezing this read, toxic, liquid sugar over it.
2) Say cheese!
But not all the time. Sprinkling grated parmesan, grana padano or pecorino cheese on pasta is totally acceptable, except…when there is seafood or mushrooms involved. It’s very simple.
That waiter that is asking whether you want parmesan cheese on top of the tagliatelle ai porcini or the spaghettini con frutti di mare? Well, he needs some basic Italian cuisine education.
On a side note, pasta marinara should not contain any seafood. The traditional marinara sauce consists of tomatoes, oregano, parsley and garlic, just for the record.
3) Keep it dry.
The Italian traditional name for the dish that the rest of the world calls pasta, is actually pastasciutta, which translates to dry pasta. It refers to any kind of pasta dish that is not soup based. It is also an apt description for the way the pasta should be served: with a moderate amount of sauce. The sauce, whether a thick slow-cooked bolognese or a quick aglio oglio, is meant to flavor the pasta, not to drown it. We are supposed to see and taste the pasta, it is not just the carrier for the meat nor vegetables.
So don’t go asking for more sauce. Eat it “dry.”
4) Stick to the pasta.
For inexplicable reasons, some ignorants among us have this weird habit of adding their side dish, such as the salad, to their plate of pasta. Imagine this gorgeous serving of spaghetti alla carbonara, with its perfectly balanced mix of egg yoke, cheese, bacon and black pepper (no cream, never add cream to your carbonara!) and then plonking a scoop of salad dripping in olive oil and balsamic vinegar all over it. Sacrilege. There are no other words for it.
As a general rule, except for the cheese as mentioned before, do not add anything to your plate of pasta. No ketchup (that one is worth repeating), no Italian herb mix, no butter, no tabasco, no nothing.
5) Be ready to dig in, fast.
Cooking the pasta is a delicate business. It must be al dente, warm and fresh when served. Re-heating the pasta is a big no-no. Once the pasta has been put in the boiling water, a strict timing has to be respected. It has to be drained just before it’s perfect, as the pasta will continue to cook a little bit in its own heat.
Unlike some people who put the pasta in the plate and then scoop the sauce on top of it, tradition dictates that the cooked pasta be mixed with the sauce in the pot or the pan. As soon as it is all properly stirred, it will be served onto the plates, to be eaten immediately, piping hot.
There is a reason why Italians eat fast.
For the total pasta beginners among us, remember this: Do not, I repeat, do not ever cut the pasta with a knife. Spaghetti, linguine, tagliatelle, bucatini and the like should be rolled on the fork (a little help from a spoon is allowed if really necessary). Penne, rigatoni, pipe, farfalle and other bite-sized pasta are to be eaten with a fork. If you really want to use a knife, use it on the lasagna. Actually, a properly cooked lasagna can be cut with a fork, but if table etiquette requires two pieces of cutlery, than subtle use of the knife is acceptable!
Having said all that, there is only one thing left to say: buon appetito!

I recently went to Wyoming with a friend to work on some new stock images. We found a fantastic location in the Medicine Bow Mountains. After shooting some available light images of Steve boulder hopping, I knew the image needed some light to spice it up.
We used two Elinchrom Rangers and one Quadra to light the shot. We used the standard reflectors, no grids or softboxes. This maintains the specular edgy look. The trick with this hard edged light is feathering the light so it doesn’t spill and overexposre the white rocks. To accomplish this we aimed the reflectors very high, almost up at the sky. It doesn’t even look like the lights are aimed at the subject. But as long as the bottom edge of the reflector is aimed at the model you will get light. In post production we darkened the sky and added a little Lucis Art. Tech: Nikon D3, 24-70mm, f11 at 1/200, ISO100.

Oh, I've also picked this time period because let's face it if we included all of Marvel's live-action output - including almost everything from the 70s - then we'd be here all day!
Long before Samuel L Jackson took up the eye-patch to play everyone's favourite top secret badass, David Hasslehoff aka 'The Hoff' played Nick Fury in a truly dreadful TV movie. The film was written by none other than David S Goyer but lacked any of the charm of his better work (Batman Begins) and instead played up all of the cringeworthy elements of the character that should have been forgotten. Throw in 'The Hoff's' unique acting style and Nick Fury Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D was a complete abomination of a movie. This film would have appeared higher in the list if it wasn't for the fact that it had a limited budget when compared to the dire stuff that follows. It's inclusion nudges out such cinematic (and non-cinematic) shit as Man-Thing, X-Men Origins: Wolverine and Ghost Rider.
So who thought this was a good idea? Come on, let's see a show of hands. Elektra was the spin-off film of the mildly successful Daredevil movie and starred future Mrs Affleck, Jennifer Garner as the sai-wielding superheroine. On paper it might of seemed a good idea (although I'm not convinced that was entirely the case) but in reality it was a proper snooze-fest. Creating a spin-off movie with the only main character from Daredevil not to survive to the end of the movie was one thing, but then removing all references to Daredevil was just ridiculous. Oh and Elektra's poor box-office performance scuppered any chances of a follow-up Daredevil film starring Ben Affleck! Bastards!
Oh dear it's David S Goyer again. After two rather good Blade movies, the vampire hunting saga limped to a lacklustre conclusion with this turgid mess of a movie. The script was boring and even the presence of Ryan Reynolds as Hannibal King couldn't save this film from sucking (no pun intended). The only reason this ranks higher in this list than Elektra is because audiences expected more from this than they did that pile of crap and that's an official Comics Code fact!
Oh dear lord, what the hell was Nicholas Cage doing in this movie? If you were unfortunate enough to see the first Ghost Rider movie then you know that you lost a couple of hours of your life that you will never get back. I'm sorry for your loss, but the same thing happened to me. However if you happened to have seen this loose follow-up then clearly God (or whoever you pray to) hates you and there's nothing you can do about that. For his performance in this shit-tastic sequel Nic Cage based his performance on a snake. A f***ing snake! As a result he dicked about on screen looking like a right plonker in a movie that was equally as stench-ridden as his performance. This ranks as one of the worst Marvel movies of all time and would take the top spot if not for....
To date Marvel have had three attempts at getting the Punisher franchise off the ground and Punisher: Warzone was easily the worst of the bunch. The script stunk, the acting was piss-poor, the direction was laughable and don't even get me started on the scene where the Punisher puts his fist through a bad guy's face! It's not entirely clear why Marvel is so keen to get audiences to warm to the Punisher but if this turd-fest didn't sink the franchise for good then nothing will. It truly was a dark day for cinema goers when this hit screens.

Living as we do in the Land of the League Table, there’s sadly little call to be surprised by the appearance of what some will see as a prosopographical breakthrough: a book confidently entitled The Most Evil Men and Women in History (Michael O’Mara, £15.99) and with a cover where the word ‘evil’ appears in black in a type size several magnitudes greater than that of its supporting syntax. Nor should we be surprised for a second time to find that this is a set of potted life-stories to go with a ten-week television series that has just got under way on Channel 5. The 15 historical figures selected to make up what it would be comforting to believe was literally a cast list from hell are no doubt the sediment left behind from a more extensive list of candidates following hours of strenuous haggling as the programme planners argued for their favourites: ‘OK, I’ll give you Attila the Hun if you’ll let me have Vlad the Impaler.’ Disappointingly, viewers aren’t being asked to work their way up, in reverse order of nastiness, starting with the men and women who were only fairly evil to those who were very evil indeed, with the most evil of all left till last. Rather, the series is tamely chronological, kicking off with Caligula (‘The Schizophrenic Emperor’, which you’d have thought might let him off the hook) and ending with the one living evildoer, Idi Amin (‘The Butcher of East Africa’). As for the three women who were reckoned bad enough to qualify, ‘Bloody Mary’ (‘A Catholic Queen in a Protestant Country’, I mean . . .), Elizabeth Countess Barthory (‘Countess Dracula’) and Ilse Koch (‘The Bitch of Buchenwald’), their presence owes more to the Equal Opportunities Commission than to anything they actually did. What with one thing or another, the word ‘evil’ has never had it so good: according to the latest Harper’s, it got five mentions in Bush the Younger’s one State of the Union address (Clinton got round to it only twice in all of his), and if comparatism of the Channel 5 kind takes a hold, it won’t be long before an enterprising college takes a leaf out of Don DeLillo’s delightful White Noise and offers an undergraduate course in Evil Studies.
Meanwhile, any teacher looking for a premier league example of a metonym to wow the class with might do worse than choose the world’s most photogenic mailbox: that which sits beside what looks like a suitably unmade-up road somewhere in New England with the name ‘Salinger’ stencilled on its scored and rusty flank. For close on forty years now, this weathered receptacle has been asked to stand in for the man whose mailbox it is, who has himself passed definitively from view in a sustained fit of unsociability such that you wonder whether the mailbox may not be a blind, put up outside someone else’s house in the hope of siphoning off unwanted communications from the outside world. Its latest appearance is as the jacket photograph on an odd compilation called Letters to J.D. Salinger (Wisconsin, £20.95), in which a large number of the writer’s fans address their thoughts and questions to him, not in the expectation that he will ever read, let alone answer what they have to say but simply for the pleasure of participating in this Postmodern version of a Festschrift. The cheery individual who thought up the volume, Chris Kubica, says that he spent five years getting the contributions together after discovering what a lot of www activity there was in respect of ‘old J.D.’ and his much-loved novel, on the arcane and desperate lines of ‘Let’s talk about the symbolism of the gloves in CITR. SOMEONE PLEASE REPLY!!!!!’ Kubica admits that back in the days when a pilgrim’s life attracted him more than it does now, he thought he might go and call on Salinger in person, but he was put off by reading all those articles ‘about people writing to Salinger or trying to see and talk to him in person and how he got upset and sometimes semi-violent toward them’. So, not wishing to have semi-violence done towards him, he decided to creep up on his combustible subject by what he calls the ‘back door’. Well, at least letters written to J.D. Salinger don’t run the risk of suffering the fate of those written by him, which, as readers of the obituaries and of his conversations with Dan Jacobson in this paper will recall, cost the late Ian Hamilton much grief when he tried to quote them verbatim in his biography and was taken to court. Salinger wasn’t having any, and you have to wonder whether the old curmudgeon deserves even a backdoor tribute like Kubica’s.

NAIROBI, July 28 (Reuters) – A Kenyan appeals courtroom on Friday lifted a suspension positioned on a disputed government finance regulation that will double the price-added tax on gas and introduce a new housing levy – laws that sparked deadly opposition protests this month.
Underneath the new law, whose implementation was frozen in just times of its enactment late previous thirty day period, the worth additional tax on gasoline will double to 16% and personnel will also face a 1.5% housing levy that will be matched by companies.

President William Ruto’s government claims the larger taxes are necessary to stabilise authorities funds, which have been strained by developing debt repayments and reduced-than-anticipated advancement in tax selection.
A lawyer for the Kenya Earnings Authority instructed the court docket that the suspension of the finance legislation was costing the federal government 500 million Kenyan shillings ($3.51 million) for each day.
The court’s determination drew opposition criticism.
“The Court of Attractiveness has thrown Kenyans into additional struggling. Indeed, the value of residing is likely to increase and turn into unbearable for bulk of Kenyans,” Philip Etale, an opposition occasion spokesperson, wrote on the messaging system X, previously known as Twitter.
Fergus Kell, a researcher at London believe-tank Chatham Residence, stated the tax hikes had been “unlikely to be a activity changer in the brief to medium phrase” since Kenya’s fiscal issues are mostly relevant to overspending and borrowing.
“It will consider time for greater revenue era to start off to make a dent in that fiscal deficit,” he said.
($1 = 142.3000 Kenyan shillings)

Is it good to give cats wet food everyday?
“There are a lot of people who believe that cats only need to eat canned food and will be unhealthy if they eat dry food,” says Larsen, noting that most cats can do fine on either. But the high moisture content in wet food can be beneficial to cats with urinary tract problems, diabetes, or kidney disease.
Is wet or dry food better for cats?
Wet food is more expensive and less easy to use but can be beneficial in cats prone to lower urinary tract disease, constipation and that are overweight. Dry food can be a very efficient way to provide calories in thin cats with food volume limitations and allows for the use of food puzzles and food toy dispensers.
How much food should a cat eat a day?
If the cat owner is feeding a good quality dry food, that has a good quality protein, then the indoor cat needs only approximately 1/3 to 1/2 cup of food each day. Most high quality foods have approximately 500 calories per 8 ounce cup of food. The major protein source of the food is very important.
How much wet and dry food should I feed my cat?
Dry & Wet Food: Feed 1/3 of a 6 ounce can of wet food OR 1/2 of a 3.5 ounce can twice a day and 1/6 to 1/4 cup of dry food once a day. Dry & Wet Food: Feed 1/6 cup of dry food twice a day and 1/3 of a 6 ounce can of wet food once a day OR 1/2 of a 3.5 ounce can of wet food.
Can cats live on dry food only?
Many cat owners feed only dry food to their felines. ” Dry food is fine as long as it is complete and balanced,” says Dr. Cats that eat only dry food need to be provided with lots of fresh water, especially if they are prone to developing urinary tract blockages.
Is wet cat food easier to digest than dry?
For cats with health conditions, dry food may not be as beneficial as canned partially because it lacks the water content that makes it easier to digest. Canned cat food’s soft consistency may be easier for older kitties to eat than the crunchy kibble they ate at a younger age.
Can I mix wet and dry cat food?
Mixing wet and dry food makes it easier for you to manage the dietary and nutritional needs of your unique cat. Together with your veterinarian, it’s surprisingly easy to create a customized meal plan for your cat that’s balanced to benefit their individualized metabolism.

How many cups of dry food should a cat eat per day?
Dry food only for an adult cat: 1/4 cup AM and PM. You can divide this into feedings of 1/8 cup 4 times a day. If your cat is already “fat” (let’s be honest), start at 1/2 cup dry per day and in a month decrease to 1/8 cup 3 times a day.
Why is my cat so hungry all the time?
Hyperthyroidism: Cats with an overactive thyroid gland have hyperthyroidism and it makes them always feel hungry. Diabetes: In diabetes, the pancreas isn’t producing insulin properly and as a result, the cat can’t use the sugars produced from digesting food for energy.
Do cats know when to stop eating?
Some animals can be free-fed and will stop eating when they are full, while others will gain weight with just the occasional table scrap.
Does dry food make cats gain weight?
Dry foods could more likely lead to obesity in cats, therefore increasing the risk of cat diabetes. For instance, cats that become overweight or develop urinary issues might need their dry food reduced. Cats with a predisposition for dental issues could require a prescription dry diet.
How much wet food should I mix with dry?
Give your dog one 10 oz container per 10½ – 12½ pounds of body weight daily, divided into two or more meals. Adjust this amount as needed to help maintain your dog’s ideal body condition. If mixing with dry food, remember that one 10 oz container replaces about ¾ – 1 cup dry dog food.


Srinagar City Wednesday recorded lowest ever voter turnout in an election with less than 100 electorates casting their votes in nine out of the 19 wards of the Srinagar Municipal Corporation (SMC) in the second phase of the ongoing urban local bodies polls in Jammu and Kashmir.
As per the state poll panel figures, a meagre 2.3 per cent of the 1.78 lakh city voters stepped out to cast their votes.
It was the lowest voter turn out in any election in Srinagar City, which has shown more inclination towards abstention from the electoral process since the eruption of militancy in the state in 1989.
In the Lok Sabha bypolls for Srinagar parliamentary constituency held in April 2017, the voter turnout was marginally higher than seven per cent.
In the 2nd phase of municipal polls Wednesday, two wards -- Syed Ali Akbar and Tankipora -- recorded less than 10 votes.
SD Colony, Aloochibagh, Ziyarat Batamaloo, Karan Nagar, Nundreshi Colony, Basant Bagh and Fateh Kadal wards all recorded less than 100 votes while four other wards recorded less than 150 votes.
On the contrary, people at Lawaypora and Zainakot wards waited in long queues outside the polling stations to exercise their franchise.
Mujgund recorded 4.5 per cent polling while Solina registered over 6.3 per cent turn out.
Urban local bodies polls are being conducted in Jammu and Kashmir after a gap of 13 years with the last exercise held in 2005.

Bhubaneswar: Doctors at BR Life Kalinga Hospital have successfully conducted a unique case of Kidney Swap Transplant recently.
According to a release of the hospital, Ganeswar Sankhua, 38-year-old from Tukuna village, Keonjhar district visited BR Life Kalinga hospital with a repeated episode of kidney failure. He had undergone kidney transplant in a private hospital in the State. His mother was the donor, but unfortunately, it had failed within a span of four years. His wife came forward to save the life of her spouse, but their blood groups did not match. The doctors suggested them to apply for the Kidney Swap Transplant.
Similar was the case of 40-year old Sushant Kumar Sahu from Narasinghpur area. He had been under dialysis for six months. A pharmacist by profession, Sahu was suffering from kidney disease for the past five years. His wife offered to donate the kidney, but since their blood group did not match, they were unable to perform the procedure, it said.
In this case, post examination of the patients and the donors, it was decided that Jayanti Sahu, (donor 1 and wife of Sahu) would donate her kidney to Sankhua (recipient 2) and Arnapurna Peda (donor 2 and wife of Sankhua) would donate her kidney to Sahu (recipient 1).
Both the surgeries were carried out simultaneously by senior consultant Urology and Transplant Surgeon Dr Manas Rajan Pradhan and another by Dr Biswajit Nanda of same stream. The surgery lasted for about four hours each.
Both of them have recovered well and accepted each other wife’s kidney well. They have been discharged from the hospital within eight to 12 days of the procedure.
“This case was challenging as we performed four surgeries simultaneously. This was only possible in a multispecialty hospital due to availability of medical experts,” said Dr Nanda.
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is known to affect approximately 1 million people in India every year.

Helane Morrison Forging Financial History
A recent article in the Mississippi Business Journal discussed the growing importance of the position of compliance officer within three pivotal and heavily regulated industries in Mississippi and the rest of the United States. Simply stated a compliance officer advises the company he or she works for about possible infractions and violations of state and federal rules and how to avoid being in violation. Knowledge of these laws governing these highly controlled businesses is essential. Read the full article here: Compliance Officer can fix fraud. Those three industries described in the article that have an urgent need for watchdogs are insurance, investment, and legalized gambling. Now that legalized gambling has become popular, the state must tightly control its operation to make sure it is run honestly and does not become a tool of organized crime, which controls the illegal gambling in America. The insurance industry by its enormous size and the large payouts it must distribute when disaster strikes must be backed up by state and federal agencies that must also regulate its operations. The investment industry has for decades been suspected of insider trading and unscrupulous dealings and has the greatest need for compliance regulation. The Securities and Exchange Commission was founded in 1934 shortly after the collapse of Wall Street that ushered in the Great Depression. The SEC is the federal government agency controlling all firms working in the financial arena in the United States of America.
Trained as an attorney, she began work for the SEC and rapidly rose through the ranks and became in charge of the San Francisco branch of the organization. After her many years of service for the SEC, Helane was appointed as an officer of Hall Capital Partners, LLC. There, she was named as Chief Compliance Officer, and it is her duty to keep Hall Capital operating within the bounds that she is so fully aware of having served in the SEC.
Helane Morrison is proving by her commitment to honesty and to her work as a compliance officer that great changes are truly possible in this world.

Efficacy of clindamycin vaginal ovule (3-day treatment) vs. clindamycin vaginal cream (7-day treatment) in bacterial vaginosis.
Author(s): Sobel J, Peipert JF, McGregor JA, Livengood C, Martin M, Robbins J, Wajszczuk CP
Affiliation(s): Division of Infectious Diseases, Detroit Medical Center, Wayne State University School of Medicine, MI 48201, USA.
Publication date & source: 2001, Infect Dis Obstet Gynecol., 9(1):9-15.
Publication type: Clinical Trial; Multicenter Study; Randomized Controlled Trial
OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy and safety of a 3-day regimen of clindamycin vaginal ovules with a 7-day regimen of clindamycin vaginal cream for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis (BV). METHODS: Women with a clinical diagnosis of BV were treated with a 3-day course of clindamycin ovules or a 7-day course of clindamycin cream administered intravaginally. Three hundred and eighty-four patients received study drug and were included in the evaluable patient population (ovule group, n = 204; cream group, n = 180). Assessments included pelvic examination and diagnostic testing. Primary efficacy endpoints were a resolution of two of three diagnostic criteria at the first follow-up visit and three of three diagnostic criteria at the second. RESULTS: Cure rates in the evaluable patient population were similar between treatment groups: 53.7% (109/204) for the ovule group and 47.8% (85/180) for the cream group (p = 0.2471, 95% CI -4.1-16.0%). The most commonly reported medical event, vulvovaginal pruritus, had similar incidence in both treatment groups. CONCLUSIONS: A 3-day course of clindamycin vaginal ovules is as effective and well-tolerated as a 7-day course of clindamycin vaginal cream in the treatment of BV.
