- Sustainability Class: BREEAM Very Good
- City: Amsterdam
- Country: The Netherlands
Text description provided by the architects. The renovation and extension of the former Government Office for Transactions and Telephony offers this monumental building a second life in the city center of Amsterdam. After years of changing functions and temporary use, the building situated next to the Dam square, is transformed into a five-star hotel with 172 rooms and an upper public floor.
The original design dating from 1925 by Joseph Crouwel combines a modern robust concrete structure with a monumental brick facade, which was strongly influenced by the design of the Larkin building by Frank Lloyd Wright. The characteristic brick facades of the building played a leading role in the renovation of Office Winhov.
The ambition of Office Winhov was to both enhance the monumental character of the existing building, as well as to add a refined layer that fitted in the public character of the new
function. The brickwork façades of the building have been restored into its original condition. Later on additions and changes have been completely removed, such as windows on the fourth floor, through which the characteristic closed exterior of the top floor has been reestablished.
The desired extensions of the building due to the program have been realized within the existing inner court structure. The new façades of the inner courts, made of a bronze aluminum construction cladded with tinted glass and a refined gold metal coating pattern, blend in with the new rooftop construction. Together these additions form a contrasting and clearly readable extension of the existing monument.
Public functions such as the reception, W lounge, the restaurant ‘Mr Porter’ and the terraces with the public pool are all located in the new extension on the roof; together they form the ‘crown’ of the building. After their arrival at the Spuistraat, guests and visitors are directly brought to the newly added floor. This new public domain offers a spectacular panorama view over the historical city center and adjacent buildings such as the Royal Palace.
Due to these interventions the W hotel has a striking and reversed organizational structure. The hotel suites are orientated towards the streets and the inner courts. Both courts are visible from the spacious hallways leading to the rooms as well as the rooftop floor. On the first floor, at the very heart of the building, a meeting- and event space has been added.
The floor plans were designed with respect to the rhythm and the visibility of the original concrete structure. Striking elements, such as the characteristic staircase walls of glazed yellow brickwork were restored in its original condition.
The project received a BREEAM Very Good certificate. The new installations are connected to a geothermal heating system that was implemented as efficient and small as possible. By doing so, all the installations could be placed within the building, avoiding the need to build an extra installation room on top. With the transformation of the former Government Office into the W hotel, Amsterdam regains a characteristic and appealing public building into the very heart of the city.

Underbelly’s Circus Hub on the Meadows
Aug 9-14, 16-21, 23-27 (21:55)
Hi Honey I’m home ❤
Wow that was a long day, Amazingly entertaining and on the whole fucking brilliant,
Hmm I thought, its lovely and warm. So i headed along The Innocent railway Path and up for a cuddle with Tracey Tree, It was so soft and welcoming, I layed down and gave myself healing. Grounding as deeply as I could do and let it all go.
I gave myself a good hour of self-healing and then headed for an afternoon and evening on The Meadows for a Masterclass of amazingness at The Circus Hub, First Up 2.15 Tulu, then at 9.55 Blunderland. That gave me a lot of time for self healing between performances, I met up with Damo to pick up my writers wages and Headed to the Pianodrome for a tinkle. It was great then had a coffee with Raah and then back to the Pianodrome to finish where I had left off. I played for a life drawing class and grounded the angels. I really hit on something when I played at Glastonbury this year.
It took a while but I slipped back into the flow, My audience where very appreciative. then headed back to the Meadows to sit under a tree, look at the Moon and sip a rather good-looking but expensive hot chocolate. Have walked some miles today so as you can guess I was knackered. The Meadows is a really nice place to chill under a tree, The Moon rising big and heavy as dusk wove its dark cloak round Aulde Reiki. The anticipation of something brilliant was making me excited, being a psychic and with the Calibur of acrobatic amazingness I experienced with Tulu. I knew Blunderland was going to be spectacular. And I wasnae wrong. Divine is so so happy tonight. So it been a very entertaining self-healing day. more in a bit am off to make a cuppa.
Blunderland The Cast
The Beauty is a large Spiegel Tent, the 2nd of the brilliant venues within the Circus Hub which houses this brilliant example of Cabaret and risque burlesque, mind-bending, mind-expanding psychedelic trip of sexiness. Adam Malone our host of the evening explained that the show is designed for people that love psychedelics. OOOOoooo I thought “This is going to be good.”
As we took our seats in the round of The Beauty, I couldnae help thinking “The Adults Only Magic Show” Should have been housed here too, it was such a grand and noble venue, The ambience created by the lighting and sounds, created a dubstep rainy city street, just seedy enough on the side of naughty But very very nice to add weight to the theatrical brilliance that was about to be unleashed. To the right of me, Lee, from Machester was on to his 57th show of this years Fringe, Blimey I Thought Lee is an eager beaver. To the left of me a rather dashingly handsome young Frenchman called Rudi. I was in good company. Suitably Bohemian and ready for a Good Time. With the perfect balance of eye candy for both boys and girls to be mutually excited by. I think the psychedelic of choice was MDMA with a line of Ketamine for good measure. This dynamic work of burlesque performance art found its roots in Melbourne After Adam Malone from the art houses of New York flew there to find the gifted and ridiculously talented performers that would make his vision “Blundered” A performance art presentation of genius. Very Very Sexy Genius indeed.
Nothing is left to the imagination an alternative cabaret that drips with sensuality and all done in the best possible taste. Sassy, camp, funny Original, classy and very beautiful all set to a brilliant techno soundtrack. in pink sequined hot pants. Divine was in love Beautiful stage nudity seems to be an evolving thing with Australian Burlesque. The Trapeze act alone is worth the ticket price. A brilliantly and beautifully choreographed depiction of conception, the female reproductive system brought to life with feet and umbrellas, it was so so clever, surreal and wonderful. Oh yes I was loving being in Blunderland and that’s without any Acid. Surreal and Bohemian art house brilliance making its debut at the Edinburgh Fringe. Blunderland is performance art of legendary proportions, once seen never forgotten, for it is a production with staying power. Creative Viagra for all who take a ride into Blunderland. Blunderland’s Fans are growing.
Totally. A Well earned 5 Stars.

CIRCUS ABYSSINIA: TULU
Underbelly’s Circus Hub on the Meadows
Aug 6-27 (14:15)
Underbelly’s Circus Hub on The Meadows is perhaps the most conducive to healing and peace of mind. The venue comprises The Lafayette a huge big blue traditional circus big top planted in the Middle of our beloved Meadows, it was a beautiful warm day, perfect for taking it easy. Underbelly’s Circus Hub is beautifully attractive and very welcoming. Word had obviously got around that Circus Abyssinia were back in town, all the way from Ethiopia these guys have travelled a long way to bring this delightful human circus to the Edinburgh Fringe. So on the first Monday of the Fringe it was completely sold out. Circus Abyssinia had a sold-out run of performances in 2017 at the Edinburgh Fringe. Divine was about to discover why this troop of acrobats are so successful.
This new presentation of breath-taking circus skills. Celebrating the first African woman to win Olympic Gold. Inspired by the true tale of an Ethiopian icon Deratu Tulu. Circus Abyssinia fit a lot into the 75 minuets of showtime and all of it, edge-of-seat amazement. With death-defying feats of human agility and athletic acrobatic skill, The dance routines performed by two incredibly beautiful ladies took the entire Laffeyette Big Top and all of us in it back to an Ethiopian nature reserve, my mouth was wide open in awe a Yoga Master Class, that demonstrated just how bendy a human body can be, beautifully choreographed. This within itself was an Olympic Gold performance. Completely awesome.
Followed by a really fast-paced sequence of acrobatics performed by beautiful young athletes, flying through the air with the greatest of ease, Human catapults. trapeze, fire juggeling. It was awesome, Circus Abyssinia brought the packed house down, with a show of breathtaking spectacle. Circus Abyssinia’s audience were having a great time, Divine included ❤
By the time we reached the end of the performance, I completely understood why this show sells out every day. Indeed we were blessed to be part of the audience. For without a doubt a five star performance.
Good Time Divine.
An Interview With Abby Rose Morris
New York City’s Abby Rose Morris
Is bringing her feminist cabaret
about fatphobia to the Fringe
Where are you from & where do you live at the moment?
I’m from a tiny town near Burlington, Vermont, about an hour south of the Canadian border. I currently live in New York.
Can you tell us a little about your art?
I’m an actor, singer, voiceover artist, and writer! I’m trained in musical theatre but also have a deep love for new plays, adaptations, and Shakespeare. I love absurdism and meta snark, and that really shows up in the things I’ve written. I’m very passionate about plus size representation in the arts and More Than Tracy Turnblad, my solo show at Fringe, revolves around that.
Where did you train?
I got my BFA in Musical Theatre from The University of the Arts in 2019, and have also trained at Circle in the Square Theatre School and the Williamstown Theatre Festival.
Can you tell us about More Than Tracy Turnblad the podcast?
The podcast version of More Than Tracy Turnblad came about in the pandemic when I was unable to perform the show! On the podcast, I interview other plus size creatives about how fatphobia has showed up in their careers, the fat characters that have impacted them, and how the industry can evolve to become more inclusive. We also do episodes on specific fat characters or movies about size. We’ve had some amazing guests like Lauren Ash from Superstore, Jenny O’Leary who originated Martha in the West End production of Heathers, and bestselling author Jennifer Weiner! The podcast is my absolute pride and joy. I’ve made so many wonderful friends through it.
What do you like to do when you are not performing?
Being from Vermont, I’m a bit outdoorsy, so I love to camp and swim and generally be in nature when I can. I also enjoy cooking and thrifting.
You are coming to Edinburgh with a show this Fringe, can you tell us all about it?
More Than Tracy Turnblad is a fierce, funny, feminist cabaret that explores fat representation in entertainment. As a plus size performer, the roles I’m told I can play are either limited and stereotypical, or they’re, well, Tracy Turnblad, the singular young fat female lead in all of musical theatre. In the show, I detail my personal experiences with fatphobia in the industry while dissecting and dismantling cultural stereotypes about fat people. The show is both a takedown of and love letter to the entertainment industry, featuring music from popular shows like Mean Girls and Wicked.
What difficulties are there in transporting a podcast to the stage?
Well, the show actually came first, so none! When the pandemic hit, I couldn’t perform the show and adapted it into a podcast. The main similarity is just the topic and my sense of humor. But after spending so much time talking about these things from a more intellectual lens, it’s both a challenge and a relief to get back into my body and emotions in order to do the show onstage again!
What emotions & thoughts do you hope to invoke in your Edinburgh audience?
I want people to laugh, cringe, sing along, and reevaluate their own behaviors and attitudes around body image. My ultimate goal is to help people gain a deeper understanding of this issue, since it so often goes unspoken in the artistic community.
You’ll know a good show when you have done one, what are the magic ingredients?
I think you know a good show when you feel you HAVE to make it. I had an acting teacher who always said, “a work of art is great if it has sprung from necessity.” It’s a quote from Rilke’s Letters to a Young Poet. And I love that, because it gives me permission not to force creative output unless I really have something to say.
What will you be doing in Edinburgh when not promoting & performing your show?
My mom, sister, and boyfriend will all be visiting Edinburgh for the first time, so I’ll be dragging them to as many shows as possible and doing some historical touristy things as well! I love haunted things so I’ll definitely seek those out in particular – I used to be a ghost tour guide.
You have 20 seconds to sell your show on the streets of Edinburgh, what do you say?
Ever wonder why plus size girls always play the mom in school plays? Or why the average size of a women on TV is less than half what it is in the general population? If you want to find out, come see this hilarious cabaret about body positivity in the entertainment industry, featuring Broadway songs you know and love!
More Than Tracy Turnblad
theSpace @ Surgeons Hall
Aug 22-27 (12:45)
Aug 6-26 (15.30)
Deep in all our common histories lies the Sophoclean masterpiece, Oedipus Rex. ‘He took a face from the ancient gallery,’ sang Jim Morrison almost two millennia later during the 20th century Freudian resurrection of the main motifs of the Oedipus legend – kill your father, sleep with your mother, rip your own eyes out in disgust. I’m not quite sure modern society has ever recovered psychologically from beyond being told we all want to sleep with our parents, but anyway, theatrically, the mythomemes still pack a punch.
Pecho Mama are the natural inheritors of the tradition modernity, their Medea Electronica was sublime, & now their Oedipus Electra can also go down as a winner in the annals of transcreative theatre. The live musical accompaniment is brilliant – Don Bird on drums is well cool, like – while the three actors were quality-concise & confident, including, of course, Mella Fay as Jocasta, the company’s artistic director & beating heart. The play is big, bold, brazen, brash & in your face with violence & traumatic pregnancies. I don’t want to give too much away, of course, but Pecho Mama’s adaption needs a wee spoiler I’m afraid (alert here). The idea is that 2022’s Jocasta has created an Oedipus in her writing – there are a series of really powerful scenes when the action is happening quite furiously above & around her while she is typing like a gazelle escaping a lion.
I was extremely impressed by this neogothic production as a symbiotic organism – all parts fuse together extremely well to create a fluid creature from the depths of the psychic ocean, which crawls to shore waving its dark tentacles in your face before slipping away into the murk & leaving you doing a standing ovation. Proper buzzing theatre! Oedipus Electra is an esoteric & entertaining play, with a viscerality not the faint-hearted.
The Tragedy Of Macbeth
Aug 4-29 (12.00)
Every Fringe I love to check out a Shakespeare play, because although the spirit of the Bard never changes, it is possible to gauge the theatrical zeitgeist thro’ an individual production. It’s the one arena of board-treading in which the directors enter unto a fierce gladiatorial combat. Thus off I ambl’d to the Assembly Roxy to witness Flabbergast Theatre’s trio of combatants, who have charged into battle like the Horatii triplet warriors in the age of Tullus Hostilius. Henry Maynard is the artistic director, Matej Majeka the Movement Consultant & Adam Clifford the Musicality/Percussion Consultant, & boy! have they produced a massive Macbeth. It looks beautiful, the cast create some stunning scenery using their angular bodies with a minimum of propwork, & all that drumming & Dantean wailing sounds more than amazing.
In the middle of all that, of course, is Shakespeare’s moody, mist-soaked masterpiece, Macbeth. Unfortunately, the production was galloping impatiently at too fast a pace to maintain the seminal tensions & graven terrors of the Scottish Play, which turn slowly in our psyches as if a tourniquet has been rammed down our eye sockets & linked to our brain’s fear nodules. It’s Shakespeare, but it’s not proper Shakespeare. I mean, I prefer a test match at the cricket, while others prefer T20 – it’s a very similar scenario here. Still, stepping out of my stick-in-the-mud comfort zone, aesthetically & energy-wise this Macbeth is a stunning production, & enough of the story does penetrate Flabbergast’s elegant veneer to satisfy the purist.
The cast were great, some moments of elite-level performance. The Wyrd Sisters were a class act, almost seizing the role’s immortality portentously, as if they were the three Chinese schoolgirls on the first night of the Mikado. I also enjoyed the spectacle of Dale Wylde’s ‘fool’ interlude, which made me feel as if I was watching Richard Tarleton himself. For me, Flabbergast’s Macbeth is a Scorpion’s worth of theatre, with a vicious sting in its tail. A pleasure to watch.
Jake Cornell and Marcia Belsky: Man and Woman
Assembly George Square Studios – Studio Four
Aug 8-16, 18-28 (18:15)
Tonight I went out for a double bill from Zach Zucker’s Stamptown empire, one of the most prodigious & highly thought-of comedy umbrellas, which sends its Kraken-tentacle acts all across the world. Looking at the Fringe guide I’m like I can do two in a row in the Assembly Quarter of Edinburgh. Man & Woman was first (BriTANick was second), brought to us across the ocean by Jack Cornell & Marcia Belsky,& oh my god it was proper funny, like! From Tik-Tok acorns do oaks of humungous funniness grow & it was from the aforementioned online video vignette medium that Jack suddenly found a girl he’d never met before, but living round the corner, bouncing comedy of his little sketch. BOOM ! Chemistry ! Action ! & a year or so later a buzzing masterpiece has vaulted into Scotland with broad American accents & an amazing dissection of the realities of romantic heterosexual cohabitation.
Stop being so curious, it isn’t good for you
Men & women is pure parody is about well, men & women, & their heterosexual intertanglings & bubbles with cutting edge socio-anthropological insights while at all times making us laugh out loud. Is it a sketch series? Is it theatre? I’d say a bit of both, that’s why its going in both Mumble Theatre & Mumble Comedy. Either way, when Marian met her Jom-Jom at nursery in Chipaquaqua County, after 3 years of life & loneliness, she knew he was the one for her. The show then flows through the rest of their lives together with great & innate detail surfing an ever-high level of hilarity. I loved the way kids keep popping up in a constant mission to get one that doesn’t ‘flop’ in life, while the comedy is spliced by commentaries on how ‘women influence life & society from the private sector of their homes.’
Can you stop reminiscing & treat my actual wound
Of our performers & their deliveries, Marcia is eminently watchable & Jack is emphatically suave – it really is top notch stuff, & includes the immortally dodgy exchange ‘ I told you I didn’t want to work with a paedophile — You are so closed minded it’s unbelievable.’ At the half way point we stepp’d away from the storyline into an actors’ workshop world & a Q&A intermission, which did halt my buzz a little bit & perhaps tainted my full appreciation for the rest of the tale – it was a funny interlude but definitely disturbed my trance in which I’d been more than happy to have been foster’d into. All the same, I swear down I actually shed a single tear of happiness at the end – a strange reaction – but I completely enjoy’d myself, which doesn’t happen all the time, in fact most of the time, when I’m out reviewing. Really brilliant stuff.
What Broke David Lynch?
Greenside @ Nicolson Square (Fern Studio)
Aug 5 – 7, 8 – 13, 15 – 20, 22 – 27, 21.00
Mr Twonkey, is a favourite of the Edinburgh fringe. His real name is Paul Vickers and in 2010 he brought his award winning cabaret to the stage at the Fringe all those years ago. His work stretches and bends the academy of theatre with a truthfulness that can’t be ignored.
In this work the 4 performers, actors of prominence, broke out in the highly anticipated ‘What Broke David Lynch’. For those who haven’t heard of David he is an American Film maker of prolific proportion since 1970’s. This play was based around him and examined how the inner workings of movie making for him came about, in the face of the 1980 film ‘The Elephant Man’.
So enter the play! For some reason the room at Greenside in Edinburgh felt absolutely magic, it could have been the lighting scaffolding, or that it was just so neatly presented. Out came a cigar smoking Mel Brookes in a brown overcoat with scribbled writing of his film titles all over it. The great quality of cast was evident from the start, with multifaceted opinions everywhere flying around at a fast pace.
Looking back I’m amazed that it all was done in only an hour. I saw Mr Twonkey’s work ‘Jennifer’s Robot’ back in 2015 where I recall a feeling of strangeness and abstract absurdness in his writing. But the amazing thing I found for ‘…David Lynch’ was its complete sense, and with it success.
This show was all made of the very best of everything; taste, class, poking fun at the movie-making business. A joy to see among the threats and failings of Paul’s ability to cope with things of tenderness it explored. The ‘Elephant man’ meets Anthony Hopkins (from the original film), meets the flamboyant janitor of the movie business, cigars, motor bikes, very weird papier-mache globes worn repeatedly, but for only moments.
The levels unveiled hit the heights of the talent and capability of the four who bounced the tale in resonance, having brought a recipe for success. All to make a comment on 80’s movies, using plenty of parables, placed in piercing moment of clarity or with the softest of scenes. Paul made the best of joking and of jokes that were self explanatory in their hilarity, making use of his mind in ways unexpected and forever sensitive.
The play proceeded in sensation, its story, props, timing blended with Paul himself who was so relaxed; his interaction went so well to keep everyone of the close knit cast under his tutelage. The female, Miranda Shrapnell had the role of loving him, the costumes told stories in themselves and jokes were firing out faster than I could take them in; fantastic.
In fact I think now I’ve had time to reflect, the joke lines helped shape the vision of proceedings, funny yet serious. Lynch in life had come across ‘The Elephant Man’ when his project’ Ronnie Rocket’ was dragging, so he prepared to take up a movie about Joseph Merrick, a man seriously deformed in the early twentieth century, ‘The Elephant man’ is a film that holds its art and craft at cult levels
But the world was on his back when his progress was slow, so he had to fend off things when it got too gluey to deal with.
An entourage of award-winning, tempting fun, with a remarkable clarity of vision and of years and years in preparation (wither knowingly or not); a perfect play where you forget time to intimately know the personality of music, laughter, writing and endearing reward of splendid proportions.
The Adults Only Magic Show
Assembly George Square Studios Studio 3.
The Adults Only Magic Show (21:15)
Starring Sam Hume And Justin Williams
Well, this was a nice surprise, Niddrie is a different world from the hustle and bustle of Festive Aulde Reekie. From the peace and tranquillity of good old Niddrie Mill and the two miles of the Innocent Railway Path I walked as I got into town, there was a tangible buzz in the air. I skipped across The Meadows and headed up middle meadow walk, It was really busy, the silent disco massive were making their way down singing to the collect tunes on their headphones, I had a quick gander in The Underbelly and a quick scout around Assembly. Both are housed in George Square Gardens. I was looking for the venue in which my “Adults Only Magic Show Cherry” would be popped.
I found the venue, I was a bit disappointed that it wasn’t a bit more grand. Because back Down Under this trio of cute and genuinely gifted sexy young men are packing theatres nationally, when i was doing a bit of research this afternoon I learned how many 5 Star reviews had been awarded. So I was a bit wet with anticipation of what we had in store tonight.
Two young Magicians who are truly gifted talented performance artists who came together after meeting at The Melbourne Comedy Festival in 2012 and began creating quality theatre together. More cute than they are handsome. Apart from Magnus, Our Compare of the evening. Hes a dish ❤ This brilliant evening of performance art makes its debut at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2022 and Divine was there.
I got to Assembly Studio 3 early and watched the queue grow longer and longer, The wind was really chill while we were waiting, Ben in front of me only had a T-Shirt on, I said its a good job its not raining. We both chuckled, Ben was from Carlise up with his girlfriend Lauren for the weekend. I was explaining how this was a choice pick based on how many amazing reviews The 18 Plus Magic Show had achieved from delighted audiences, Indeed the small theatre was packed to the rafters. Everyone moist in anticipation of what was about to COME.
A Magic show that is a really really good night out, genuinely funny, with lots of audience participation Demonstrations of breathtaking illusions and feats of magic, even now while writing this I am shaking my head wondering “How did they do that?” They had us all in the palms of their beautiful hands. We are talking about Las Vegas quality performance art here. Such is the brilliance of the whole thing. I loved every minute. And all three of our magical heroes are very well hung indeed and look fantastic naked. With a script and delivery expertly executed for maximum delight. Made for Divines first pick of the Fringe. ❤ This is a guaranteed night of entertainment. I couldn’t recommend it, more highly.
Without a Doubt 5 Stars

Every Sunday I like to go to Stockbridge & buy a couple of pounds of my favorite grapes, which arrive there from Mauritius that morning. Chomping on a juicy handful last Sunday, I began making my way up through the New Town, arriving in the York Place area where the trams are. This is Stand country, & a few years ago was the epicentre of laughter in the Fringe. These days its all a bit like a weekday wake & might as well be out in Fife, for there has been a seismic shift to one Edinburgh street in particular – the sloping, cobbled thoroughfare between the Cowgate & the Bridges that is Blair Street. This is the real epicentre of Fringe comedy these days; where comedians, punters & flyerers mingle in a smiling Sunset Strip.
Things evolve, & the stranglehold The Stand had on making people pay for ‘safe’ mainstream comedy has been utterly smashed by the innovations of the Free Fringe & its quality, liberty-laden shows. All things change – I mean I’m actually writing this article on a speech-to-text app walking through Holyrood Park on the way into town. So if Fringe comedy can evolve, what about the ancient art of reviewing. Think of those ancient Greeks who first stepped down from the Dionysis theatre during the reign of Pesistratus, who had just observed the very first play there from its seats, who have been babbling opinions & critiques to each other as soon as they left the hilltop. Criticism is as old as the performance art it observes, so how does its own evolution fare in 2022?
Well, not that much really. Beyond the windows of Mumble Towers, the Fringe Press of 2022 seems an archaic institution – chained to amateur rules dished out by a hereditary feudal demense, & a narrow luddite marking system which, even if the stars are split into halves, can only ever give a ‘marks out of ten’ assessment. But half-stars are an ugly aesthetic, a deformed evolution of the species. Like Darwin says, it’s not the biggest or the fastest that survives, but the one that adapts. If the five-star marking system is not to go extinct, it must evolve from its primitive 5-point Ape, through the Homo Erectus 10-point system of halves, & into something more suitable for an increasingly sophisticated modern world.
The trained reviewer can actually feel a show’s quality as 1,2,3,4,5 within moments of the start. So what are the qualities that provide such an esoteric sensation. Since 2016, the Mumble had identified three factors in each of its genres. For Comedy, we had Material, Delivery & Laughs; while for Theatre we had Stagecraft, Script & Performance. This was an improvement on the old system, where now in essence a score was obtained between 1 and 15, the Neanderthal if you will. As the Mumble went into the 2019 Fringe, we were still using this system, but have finally recognized there was still a certain imprecision to the score.
Under our old system, to obtain four stars, for example, a show needed to score 3.66 – which is simply closer to 4 than 3. The overall marks would then be described as a low four, a natural four or a high four. The eureka moment came the other day while sitting in two comedy shows. On one occasion I was the only one laughing, while at the other show the room was in uproar & I was sat stony-gilled. It was time to add that factor into the marking mix, the Room… how does a comedian play their audience, do they keep tickling funny bones like a comedy octopus, or is each viewer sat there playing on their phones.
The Room category in Comedy has a natural cousin in Theatre. I have called it S.O.D, with the first review to use it being published in 2019. Quick off the mark, the company sent me this email;
We have asked our wonderful PR company; we have asked the amazing Pleasance Press Office; we have asked the astonishing Head of Programming at The Pleasance – no one can help.
We are delighted by our review by the excellent Daniel Donnelly, but no one seems to know what S.O.D. stands for!
Please can you elucidate?
(and I’ll get the prize for the first one home with the answer!)
The answer is, of course, Suspension of Disbelief. I know my poetry, & within Coleridge’s wonderful Biographia Literia, he elucidated on the driving phantasian spirit behind his co-creation of the Lyrical Ballads with Wordsworth. Its essence is the state of mind reached where there is, ‘a semblance of truth sufficient to procure for these shadows of imagination that willing suspension of disbelief for the moment, which constitutes poetic faith… awakening the mind’s attention from the lethargy of custom, and directing it to the loveliness and the wonders of the world before us.’ In modern lay terms its like switching off reality & becoming immersed in the production. Is that your mate Nigel before you? Do you see them behind the make-up, or are you lost in the drama & believe this drag-queen before you is the fabulous Nigella?
The introduction of another genome into the star system, the aforetitled Expansion of the Mumbleverse, seems wholly natural. Our planet is divided into four seasons, the main elements are still earth, fire, air & water. The four bodily humors were part of Shakespearean cosmology, inherited from the ancient Greek philosophers Aristotle, Hippocrates, and Galen. Ovid, in his Metamorphoses divided the Ages into Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Iron. Now the reviewing star system can also be divided into four harmonious parts. Marking-wise, to obtain those 4 stars, a show must now be awarded at least 3.75 points as opposed to 3.66. The overall marking goes like this
19-20 = 5 stars
15-18 = 4 stars
11-14 = 3 stars
7-10 = 2 stars
1-6 = 1 star
As cultural surveyors, The Mumble can now give a more detailed account of a show for both artist & potential audience member – its now a case of, “you need to sort your tiles out, pal, and there’s a bit of damp in your back bedroom – you’re wirings seen better days and of course you’re gonna have to update your boiler system, it’ll never pass the new laws.“
Mrs Pack @ the Edinburgh Fringe
Three Chairs & a Hat are back
The Mumble caught up with Nia Williams
The lady behind the magic
Hello Nia… its been 3 years since Three Chairs & Hat, & many others, have performed at the Fringe – what have you been up to?
Hello! Well, we were all set up to take a new musical to Edinburgh in 2020 and then, as we know, Covid hit and everything changed. I count myself very lucky to have been able to get back to work fairly quickly during Lockdown, in the form of online music/theatre workshops, and to continue writing — and thanks to the support and creativity of companies like theSpaceUK, Three Chairs and a Hat were able to venture into digital theatre and take part in the online Edinburgh and Brighton Fringe Festivals. We produced several pieces, including short dramas and musical extracts, which involved a massive learning curve in video and editing, often remotely! Two other significant projects were also direct products of the pandemic — our animated musicals, which I’m proud to say have picked up some awards at international film festivals, and a major digital project called ’Shakespeare (She/Her)’, directed by Wayne T Brown, which presents Shakespeare’s women performing monologues, sonnets and songs in contemporary settings. So the last two years have taken us in unexpected directions and, I think, will have a lasting effect on our company.
Three years after we reviewed it’s visit to the Fringe, I saw recently that ‘Verity’ has won the 2022 Scenesaver Birthday Honours award for Best Musical – why did it take so long to be recognised, & how do you feel about the award?
This was such a lovely surprise, and a tribute to the skills of the whole ‘Verity’ team. During the past two years we’ve been supported and encouraged by Scenesaver, the international digital platform, including a major launch of ’Shakespeare (She/Her)’, and have become aware of the opportunities digital theatre presents to reach a wider audience. So, thanks to great feedback like yours at the 2019 Fringe, we eventually took the plunge and submitted a video of our original Oxford stage production to Scenesaver, and were really delighted to win the Best Musical award this year.
So what are you bringing to Edinburgh in 2022?
We’ve got a brand new musical called Mrs Pack. This is a bit different from our previous musicals, as it’s a period piece, set in the 1690s, and is based on a real person—a wet nurse who was brought in to feed the ailing heir to the throne, and given the run of the royal court, much to the resentment of the other staff.
How did you come across the story of Mrs Pack & what was the moment you felt it would make a good piece of musical theatre?
I came across Mrs Pack purely by chance, when I was researching a completely different piece of work. She was mentioned in passing as this interloper in the very hierarchical world of the royal court, who shook things up and was accused of carrying tales from Princess Anne’s court to the King and Queen. All this was set against a very tense political background, just after the Glorious Revolution had deposed James II, and this odd little story seemed to give a glimpse of a world where women were at the heart of power, but ultimately powerless.
The show focuses on the rivalry between Mrs Pack & the royal family’s chief nurse, Atty. Can you tell us more about that & how did you translate their conflict onto the stage?
Atty, or Mrs Atkinson, is described in the archives as popular and kind to the royal children, going against the harsh discipline and corporal punishment which was the standard practice of the day. Very little is known about Mrs Pack, and most of what we do know comes from the memoirs of a manservant, Jenkin Lewis, so who knows what his own prejudices were? But it’s clear that she ruffled a lot of feathers, and I tried to imagine how it would feel from both sides: Atty, a respected and professional figure, suddenly undermined and contradicted; and Mrs Pack, an outsider, resented and suspected by the court clique. Two women who could have been allies, instead turned against each other.
What are your motivations for choosing this particular subject?
Quite often, when I start writing something, it’s just an individual story or strange situation that captures my imagination, and I focus on that personal aspect of things. The great thing about then going into collaboration with others is that they really bring out the wider themes and dimensions, and this has been the case in working with our director, Katie Blackwell. Essentially this is a story of women — even women as ostensibly powerful as the future Queen Anne — who are being used and diminished in the service of a dynasty. Anne suffered horribly, enduring miscarriages, stillbirths, and losing all her children to fever and smallpox, but was under constant, unrelenting pressure to try and produce a male heir to the throne, at whatever cost to her physical and mental health.
Can tell us about your cast?
We’ve got a wonderful cast of four, who between them are portraying a whole range of characters, from high society to the streets. Rhiannon Llewellyn, who plays Mrs Pack, has extensive experience as an opera singer and has performed for ENO and Glyndebourne among many other companies. Olivia Baker, a theatre-maker, actor, singer and producer, plays Atty. Isabella Jeffrey, who graduated this year from Italia Conti, is Prince William, Atty’s ally Mrs Fortress, and an ambitious courtier, and Chris Johnstone, who recently played the lead in our show-in-progress ‘Dexter’, is Jenkin Lewis himself, as well as many others including a disaffected bugler!
Who is your director & where did you find her?
Katie Blackwell is a multitalented director, singer co-founder of interactive opera company All Aboard Opera and one of the singing trio Sorelle. I met Katie when we were both working for touring company Opera Anywhere, and we’ve worked together as singer/accompanist and director/MD on many productions. This is the first time Katie’s worked with me on a Three Chairs and a Hat production and it’s an absolute joy — she’s creative, enthusiastic, and calm in a crisis!
Which of your team have never been to the Fringe before & what advice would you give them to survive the Edinburgh August?
This is the first Fringe for all our actor/singers, and we’ve told them to expect anything and everything! I think they’ll find it exhausting, exhilarating, unique and completely addictive. For me, the key was to find a balance between wanting to see and experience it all, and needing some quiet time out to recharge the batteries — and to appreciate the eccentric beauty of this remarkable city.
You have 20 seconds to sell your show to a stranger on the streets of the Royal Mile, what would you say?
MRS PACK — she milked the monarchy, spied for a queen and turned the royal court upside down! All that plus song and dance — how can you resist?

Food prices are lower than they were this time last year
But the few people who have been reading the grocery trade press over the past few days will already have a clue as to which direction prices in the shops are heading.
Last week, the monthly Nielsen-BRC Shop Price Index showed that annual food price inflation in November stood at -0.8 per cent.
As for non-food prices, they fell over the year to November by 2.3 per cent. Yes, you read that correctly. Prices in the shops are lower than they were last year.
For every £10 you spent last Christmas on food, this year you will only have to spend £9.92.
The pound has risen strongly since November
As for every £10 you spent on presents in 2015, this year you will have to spend only £9.77.
There are other things which are going up in price – such as council tax – which is why the Consumer Prices Index, the Government’s preferred measure of inflation, is not negative.
But anyone who tries to tell you that your Christmas shopping is going to cost you more this year than last is telling fibs.
For every £10 you spent last Christmas on food, this year you will only have to spend £9.92
So how come Remain has managed to convince many that we are living in a post-Brexit vote nightmare of soaring prices?
If you get your news solely from the BBC or the Guardian you will believe that Marmite has become a rare luxury as Britons face a winter struggling to fill their larders.
Listeners to yesterday’s Today programme, for example, will have woken up to the “news” that “inflation in food prices could hit 4 per cent next year”.
The justification for this headline was yet another economic forecast – just like the discredited ones which told us that Britain would plunge into recession as a result of the Brexit vote.
Meanwhile, the real news that food prices had fallen again last month was mentioned only in passing.
Why does the BBC keep giving such prominence to apocalyptic economic forecasts which blame Brexit, while sketching over the genuine good news?
Sure, the fall in the pound since June has put pressure on retailers – although that has eased since the beginning of November as the pound has risen strongly against the euro.
This is another greatly underreported fact. When the pound was falling against the euro we heard no end of it from frustrated Remainers, who have gone strangely quiet over the pound in recent weeks.
But the value of the pound was never going to have a huge impact on food prices in British shops.
While importers have had to pay more for some foods, the sinking pound had no effect on the price of food produced in Britain.
Moreover, the cost of raw materials – and even that of imported processed foods – accounts for only a small proportion of the end price.
Many of the costs involved – transport, storage, employing shelf stackers, paying rates on shops, etc – are incurred in Britain.
A potentially greater inflationary pressure on food prices is coming from the rise in the living wage, which went from £6.70 to £7.20 in April.
Whether you think that was good or bad you can’t deny it increases costs for businesses such as supermarkets and food processing companies, which employ a lot of people at or near the minimum wage.
The price of food has started to fall on world markets
Yet funnily enough we never hear this point made by the Left or by the BBC – they only want to talk about inflationary pressures they can blame on Brexit.
Against the inflationary pressures on food there are deflationary ones.
There is a price war between supermarkets as the established retailers such as Tesco and Sainsbury’s fight off the challenge from discounters like Aldi and Lidl.
Technology such as automated checkouts has allowed stores to cut some staff to counter the rise in the minimum wage.
The price of food has started to fall on world markets. According to the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organisation’s index the price of food fell by 0.4 per cent in November.
That has helped to mitigate the effects of the fall in sterling. So far, the deflationary pressures have been winning over the inflationary ones.
But it is pointless trying to point this out to Remoaners because for them the nasty news is always “just around the corner”.
Inflation may well rise next year – which will be no bad thing given that the CPI is only half the Bank of England’s target.
There is every reason to believe that Brexit will reduce, not push up, our food bills
But there is no reason to fear inflation on anything like the scale it was in 1975, when prices were rising by 26 per cent.
That was the year when Britain voted to stay in what was then the Common Market. Nick Clegg and others have argued that food prices will surge as a result of Britain leaving the single market – this is piffle.
In the unwanted event of a trade war between Britain and the EU supermarkets could find themselves having to pay tariffs on food from Europe.
But against that, a post-Brexit Britain would not have to levy the punitive tariffs on food imported from elsewhere in the world which are currently imposed by the EU.
If we want to we can have cheaper coffee, chocolate and tropical fruit post-Brexit. No longer will we have to do as the EU does and erect trade barriers to protect the markets of French farmers and Italian wine producers.
There is still a risk that in the longer term money-printing – or quantitative easing – will eventually spark inflation.
But in the short term there is little to fear from rising prices – and every reason to believe that Brexit will reduce, not push up, our food bills.

Peisistratus Essay (650 words not including sources)
The statement “The rule of Peisistratus was oppressive and the polis of Athens and its people suffered because of this” is untrue. Following the departure of Solon, Athens endured a period of factional disturbances, as the old social rifts re-appeared. With this strife arose three new factions of society, named after the districts in which they lived. The Plain of wealthy Eupatrids; the Coast, of middle classes; and the Hill, led by Peisistratus, consisting of the poor and discontented Thetes. Twice expelled, Peisistratus recovered his power securely as a tyrant on his third attempt; ruling until his death. Undertaking numerous socio-political, economic and cultural measures it can be said that Peisistratus succeeded where Solon had failed.
“Following the example of Solon,” Plutarch states, Peisistratus furthered the reform of ‘seisachtheia’ (the shaking off of burdens). Upon becoming tyrant, he seized the land of the nobles who opposed him or fled, redistributed it among the Thetes. He enabled loans to be secured on easy terms. He retained the majority of Solon’s laws “being the first to observe them himself”. Aristotle provides evidence to support this in source one “Peisistratus ... administrated the city’s affairs with moderation and constitutionally rather than like a tyrant.” In spite of this, Aristotle contradicts himself in source four stating “the tyrant is the integrator of wars.” This is incorrect, in the case of Peisistratus, as he created a local judiciary for the people, replacing the tribal judiciary systems. Travelling judges tried cases throughout Attica, keeping the populace out of the city, so they would not “meanwhile neglect their work”. Peisistratus cultivated peace and watched over it in a time of tranquillity.
Peisistratus, with his economic measures and foreign affairs challenged the...

WASHINGTON.- Among the most remarkable of Mughal paintings and calligraphies are those commissioned by the Emperors Jahangir (1605-27)and Shah Jahan (1627-58) for display in lavish imperial albums. A window into the world-views of the emperors, these exquisite images depict the emperors, the imperial family in relaxed private settings, Sufi saints and mystics, allies and courtiers, and natural history subjects. Many folios are full-page paintings with superb figural borders, other are collages of European, Persian, and Mughal works collected by the emperors. Produced by the atelier's leading artists, they reveal the conceptual and artistic sophistication of the arts of the book at its apex in the early seventeenth century.
The exhibition brings together 82 masterpieces--many not previously exhibited in the United States--from the renowned collection of the Chester Beatty Library in Dublin.
Situated in the heart of Ireland's capital city, the Chester Beatty Library is an art museum and library which houses the great collection of manuscripts, miniature paintings, prints, drawings, rare books and some decorative arts assembled by Sir Alfred Chester Beatty (1875-1968). The Library's exhibitions open a window on the artistic treasures of the great cultures and religions of the world. Its rich collection from countries across Asia, the Middle East, North Africa and Europe offers visitors a visual feast. Chester Beatty Library was named Irish Museum of the year in 2000 and was awarded the title European Museum of the Year in 2002.
Egyptian papyrus texts, beautifully illuminated copies of the Qur'an, the Bible, European medieval and renaissance manuscripts are among the highlights of the collection. Turkish and Persian miniatures and striking Buddhist paintings are also on display, as are Chinese dragon robes and Japanese woodblock prints. In its diversity, the collection captures much of the richness of human creative expression from about 2700 BC to the present day.

Several days ago, a video went viral of a female customer at an LA spa confronting the staff for allegedly allowing a transgender man into the women’s only spa.
The woman alleges that the man walked in and exposed himself to women and underaged girls.
The spa policy apparently allows anyone who identifies as a woman to enter the spa, regardless of biological sex.
Protestors demonstrated in front of the spa on Saturday peacefully.
Eventually however, Antifa and other violent extremists got involved.
The far left domestic terror group assaulted several protestors.
The violence was caught on video.
What started out as a concerned citizen standing up for women and young girls who were exposed to a man's genetalia at a spa, escalated to violence once far left extremists got involved.
The New York Post has more on the violence following the protests:
Violence erupted between dueling protesters outside an upscale California spa Saturday after viral video showed a woman complaining about a transgender female being allowed to disrobe in the women’s section — allegedly exposing their penis in front of young children, according to reports.
The livid customer posted the clip on Instagram under the username Cubana Angel after the incident last weekend at the Wi Spa in the Koreatown neighborhood in Los Angeles, CBS Los Angeles reported.
“So, it’s OK for a man to go into the women’s section, show his penis around the other women, young little girls — underage — in your spa? Wi Spa condones that, is that what you’re saying?” the woman asks a counter employee.
“He is a man. He is not a female. There are girls down there, other women who are highly offended by what they just saw and you did nothing. You sided with him,” the irate woman adds.
When another customer tells her to go somewhere else if she’s offended, the woman responds, “You go somewhere else! You go somewhere else!”
A male customer then tries to defend the trans person, who is not seen in the footage.
“He’s a man, he’s a man,” the woman insists.
Meanwhile, another customer is heard also complaining and asking for her money back.
After the clip went viral, protesters opposed to the spa’s policy demonstrated in front of the building at 2700 Wilshire Blvd. early Saturday — but were quickly met by counter-demonstrators holding a “No Bigotry in L.A.” rally, the LA Times reported.
Here's the original video that sparked the protests:
Newsmax has more on the incident, which became violent after Antifa got involved.
The factions were protesters of the spa's policy and the SoCal antifa group, according to the report.
Video showed the black-clad antifa counter-protesters spraying spa protesters "with an unidentified substance, pushing them, punching them and demanding that they leave the area," according to CBS.
Antifa rioters followed a wounded man down a sidewalk, taunting him before he reached the safety of police, and others dressed in black were seen pushing and beating at least two others while they were on the ground, CBS reported.
A shirtless man with nunchucks was arrested by police after swinging the weapon at a group of the protesters dressed in black.

A Fort Worth woman in her 40’s has developed Tarrant County’s first case of West Nile virus this season. It’s also the first case reported in North Texas.
Tarrant County Public Health says she has the milder form, not the neuroinvasive form that more often leads to long-term illness, paralysis or death.
Last year at least 89 Texans died from West Nile. More than 1,800 became ill.
In Dallas County ground spraying for mosquitoes that may carry West Nile has already begun in DeSoto, Richardson and Highland Park.
Health officials want to remind North Texans to protect against mosquitoes which may carry the West Nile virus by wearing long-sleeve shirts and long pants outdoors at dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active, and by using insect repellent.
They also urge residents to drain standing water where mosquitoes might breed.
Symptoms of West Nile include headache, fever, muscle and joint aches, nausea and fatigue.

When I first moved to Denver nearly four years ago, one of the first things I wanted to see was the notable Spanish Colonial art collections of the Denver Art Museum. I will not forget the moment I first walked into the galleries because I was blown away by the brightly colored series of portraits of Inca rulers that covered the first wall of the gallery. When I heard they would be reinstalled for the Fashion Fusion exhibition the memories flooded back. Today, I work at the DAM and get to be inspired by these works on any given day.
It turns out, though, that I am not the only one that feels strongly about these portraits. I learned they are loved by our audiences, and they inspired our team in education to transform them into the new kids’ costumes in the Just For Fun Center for families. I recently talked to family programs coordinator Jodie Gorochow and designer Bree Angela to talk about how they turned colonial portraits into imaginative outfits children can wear.
The DAM’s costumes are always about being imaginative, and these portraits fit that goal perfectly, Jodie told me. While we call these “portraits” of Inca rulers, they were not accurate depictions. They were created by artists who never saw these rulers. The portraits were painted generations after their rule. Only the portrait of Pizarro, the Spanish conquistador at the end, was based on portraits made of him during his life. The artist(s) created images of what they imagined Inca rulers would have worn and looked like. Artists could only go by the example of traditions passed down, reflected in the styles of Inca nobility that lived during the colonial period. It was this creativity, Jodie said, that lent perfectly to the idea of the costumes. The artists depicted what they understood to be symbols of Inca power. Jodie focused on these symbols—the crown, manta (cape), shield, tocapu (belt), and unca (tunic)—and turned them over to Bree to envision the look and feel that kids would mix and wear.
Little did Jodie know, but Bree had a longtime passion for Peruvian culture and Inca textiles. She thought first about the kids’ experiences and then focused on making the design (like the details of the materials and patterns) clear for children. The clothes were made from fine materials, like alpaca and corequenque feathers, found in the surrounding Andean environment and symbols of rule. The design motifs showed the places where rulers came from, who they were, and what they accomplished. Conversely, Pizarro’s portrait represented conquest of the previous Inca culture. For Bree, when children put on the costumes, it is a deeper opportunity than to have fun at the museum.
For her, putting on the costumes of rulers is fun, but more important, can give wearers “a sense of empowerment” that allows the kids to imagine “I can be anything.” Being a ruler is aspiring to greatness, and gives kids a sense of confidence in their lives. As she said, "Perhaps kids could even create peace between the rulers and the conquistador in ways that didn’t happen historically." Perhaps this is what is so intriguing about these costumes and portraits—you can imagine the greatness of these individuals and share in that experience.


Mud-flavored yogurt? Chobani founder, ex-wife wage ugly ownership war
For a scant two years, from 1997 to 1999, Hamdi Ulukaya, then a young Turkish immigrant with dreams of a business in Turkish-inspired dairy products, and Ayse Giray, a physician in New York with Turkish roots, were married. Giray believed in and supported Ulukaya’s vision, so much so that even after they were divorced, her family loaned him almost $200,000 in 2002 to keep his inchoate cheese-making business afloat. Ulukaya soon thereafter expanded from feta cheese into Greek yogurt, establishing a company called Chobani with a factory in upstate New York. Last month, Reuters revealed that Chobani is in negotiations to sell a minority stake for $2.5 billion. But Giray and Ulukaya are not jointly celebrating the company’s runaway success. Quite the contrary.
In filings last week in Manhattan state court, these once-friendly exes (or, more accurately their lawyers) exchanged allegations as vicious as those you’d see in the most bitter of custody disputes. Of course, in a way that’s what their litigation is: Giray is suing because she claims Chobani is at least partly her baby.
And she seems perfectly willing to undermine the company to prove it. I can’t imagine that it’s to Giray’s benefit to damage Chobani’s value if, as she claims, she owns a big percentage of the yogurt maker. Nevertheless, she’s claiming not only that Ulukaya deceived two different banks and the U.S. Department of Agriculture in order to obtain his start-up loans, but also that he paid a former employee of rival Greek yogurt maker Fage 30,000 Euros to obtain the recipe Chobani now uses.
By Giray’s account, her ex-husband has told lie after lie — to bank lenders, private investors, regulators and customers — to make Chobani a success. By Ulukaya’s account, she’s a deadbeat who uses an entirely separate identity to shield her assets from judgment creditors. Ulukaya’s lawyers at Kirkland & Ellis contend that Giray has been pestering him for money for years, and only filed her “fabricated … fantastical and completely baseless” suit when he refused.
This is the kind of litigation, folks, in which both sides lose.
Giray, who is represented by Robert Feldman of Rosenberg Feldman Smith, claims that she owns between 33 and 53 percent of Chobani via her purported financing of Ulukaya’s first company, a commercial feta cheese supplier called Euphrates. She asserts that she sold two Manhattan condominiums to help fund the start-up and that Ulukaya relied on her credentials to obtain loans for the business. In all, she says, she invested $200,000 in Euphrates and her family kicked in another $300,000.
She also says that Ulukaya and one of his business cohorts secretly dealt her out of the business while lying to the USDA and the business’s first bank lender about the other investor’s involvement and Ulukaya’s interest in his family’s dairy farm in Turkey. (To boot, Giray claims Ulukaya stole money from her brother using forged checks.) Giray contends that Chobani — which was created in 2004 and is a separate company from Euphrates — rightfully belongs to Euphrates, which mentioned yogurt manufacture in its initial business plan. Her stake in Euphrates, she says, gives her rights to Chobani ownership.
Giray made her most sensational accusation — that Ulukaya bribed a former Fage employee to obtain the formula for Chobani yogurt — for the first time last week, in a brief asserting that Ulukaya “boasted” of basing Chobani “upon a recipe he stole from a competitor.” Chobani’s response brief said Giray had obtained her “baseless” assertion from a former employee she’d deposed improperly.
The former employee isn’t named in either side’s briefs but his identity is obvious from a simultaneous motion Chobani filed to seal the testimony of former plant manager Joseph Andrews, who has been a Chobani adversary since he left the company’s employ in early 2008. When Euphrates reached a $985,000 settlement with New York authorities in 2009 to resolve allegations that it illegally discharged the cheese-making byproduct whey, a local newspaper attributed the investigation to Andrews. He also provided beneficial testimony to the Environmental Management Group, which advised Euphrates and Chobani on designing a waste product disposal system. EMG later sued the two companies for failing to pay more than $1 million in fees, calling Ulukaya “a man who cheats his way out of paying his bills” in its motion for summary judgment. (EMG voluntarily dismissed the suit in May 2010.) In his deposition in the EMG case, Andrews noted that he had sued his former employer but he declined to provide additional details.
In Giray’s case, Chobani’s lawyers argued in a brief filed Thursday that the testimony she had obtained from Andrews in a deposition in March wasn’t within the scope of the litigation, which is supposed to be just about Giray’s supposed ownership of Euphrates and Chobani. In a separate brief opposing Giray’s request for an injunction against any sale of a minority stake in Chobani, the company referred to Andrews’ allegations as “rank hearsay, espoused by a disgruntled former employee whose irrelevant testimony (Giray) has gratuitously procured for the purpose of distracting from the insufficiency of her own claims.”
As for Giray, the brief said, she’s out to squeeze Ulukaya by threatening to expose supposed bad acts, which Chobani’s lawyers said are not “remotely accurate.” And she’s one to talk, according to the Chobani brief. She never supplied Ulukaya with the start-up funding she claims, Chobani said. In fact, the brief said, there’s scant evidence she had that kind of money to invest. By 1998, creditors had secured judgments against her of about $75,000, and she had begun to use an alias, Sara Baran, to shield assets. According to Chobani, Giray has even denied under oath in different proceedings that she has any ownership interest in Euphrates, let alone in Chobani. (The company admits that Giray’s family extended it a $185,000 loan but says that the loan was repaid with generous interest.)
For now, the exchange of scandalous accusations is halted. Giray dropped her motion for a restraining order, her lawyer Robert Feldman told me Monday, when Chobani represented that her purported stake won’t be affected by the sale of a minority interest in the company. I asked about Chobani’s allegations that Giray was shielding assets from creditors with an alias. “They put a spin on it that’s incorrect,” he said, and declined to elaborate. He also declined to comment on Giray’s claims that Ulukaya bribed a former Fage employee to give him Chobani’s yogurt formula. “I don’t want to litigate this in the press,” he said. (That’s exactly what Chobani accused him of doing in its brief opposing Giray’s injunction motion.)
Chobani lawyer Yosef Riemer referred my call to a company spokesman who sent an email statement. “The plaintiff’s outrageous accusations are false, completely baseless and without merit,” it said, in part. “While Greek yogurt has been around for hundreds of years, Chobani’s unique recipe was developed at our plant in upstate New York, where we spent years perfecting a centuries-old tradition.

The tooth is an ectodermal organ that arises from a tooth germ under the regulation of reciprocal epithelial-mesenchymal interactions. Tooth morphogenesis occurs in the tooth-forming field as a result of reaction-diffusion waves of specific gene expression patterns. Here, we developed a novel mechanical ligation method for splitting tooth germs to artificially regulate the molecules that control tooth morphology. The split tooth germs successfully developed into multiple correct teeth through the re-regionalisation of the tooth-forming field, which is regulated by reaction-diffusion waves in response to mechanical force. Furthermore, split teeth erupted into the oral cavity and restored physiological tooth function, including mastication, periodontal ligament function and responsiveness to noxious stimuli. Thus, this study presents a novel tooth regenerative technology based on split tooth germs and the re-regionalisation of the tooth-forming field by artificial mechanical force.

The following editorial appeared in the Greensboro News & Record:
Marcus Brandon gave the N.C. House of Representatives one of its finest moments in recent memory last week. The Democrat from High Point has distinguished himself in many ways during his two terms. Hes not afraid to cross partisan lines to advance issues that he thinks would benefit his constituents, especially those having to do with education.
Hes also the only openly gay state legislator.
But that was beside the point, he stressed Thursday in arguing for a provision to bar discrimination against students in public charter schools.
The subject produced an embarrassing episode during debate earlier in the week.
The concern was about students who are gay or transgender. A proposal was made to prohibit charter schools from turning down applicants on the basis of sexual orientation. Speaker Pro Tem Skip Stam (R-Wake) objected, producing a list of 30 sexual orientations that included pedophilia, masochism, sadism, exhibitionism, incest, asphyxophilia, kleptophilia, prostitution and bestiality.
Brandon, clearly shaken, protested but didnt launch an assault against Stams wrongheaded attempt to equate homosexuality to those other behaviors. He was much better prepared when the issue came up again Thursday.
He didnt speak about sexuality but about rights.
Whether you like the fact that I am a homosexual or not does not matter, he told colleagues. I have the right to be here because I am an American. Lets send a clear signal to the state of North Carolina that if you are a child in this state, you are also an American, and you are entitled to all the privileges thereof.
Brandon noted that he has supported equal opportunities for poor and minority children not because I am black but because I am an American, and thats the right thing to do. He has defended the right of students to pray in school, he said, not because I am a Christian but because I am an American, and its the right thing to do. And he would fight for Stams right to express his views, he added.
Brandons point was correct. Students who are gay or transgender deserve a seat in a public school the same as other children. Only if any students behavior becomes disruptive or threatening to others should he or she be removed. That can be for any reason, including many of those on Stams list. But simply being gay or transgender is not such a reason.
The House finally adopted a measure that promised North Carolina students the same protections as those provided under the U.S. Constitution. Those protections obviously are already in place, but the statement was helpful because it recognized the validity of Brandons argument, not Stams.
For most of this states history, people of Brandons race were not allowed to attend most public schools. People of his sexual orientation should not be excluded today. Everyone deserves the opportunity to receive a public education with anyone else.
Brandon forcefully reminded fellow legislators that they represent all North Carolinians. They seemed to get the message.

As reported by Cammie Lund:
For the last several years Lowndes High has been home to a Technology Student Association (TSA) state officer, and this year was no exception. However, this year was a historical year for TSA and Lowndes High when Jack Crawford was elected National President for the Technology Student Association. This marked the first time any student from Georgia has served as the National President. Not to be out done by his older brother, Preston Crawford was elected as the 2016-2017 State Sergeant at Arms. Trevor Terry served his second term as Georgia TSA State President and plans to return to TSA as an assistant after graduating this year. To hopefully continue our tradition, Tate Green will be running for an officer position on the state level for 2017-2018 school year during our State Conference in March. Lowndes has truly left a mark on TSA with their legacy of leaders.
