Well studied throwback funk, soul bossa and jazz-fusion from London, 2017
“The album starts with 'Moonlight Woman,' a song that harks back to the Headhunters era, but with a contemporary twist - close your eyes and your transported to 70s Harlem, walking shoulder to shoulder with Richard Roundtree! 'Elephant & Castle' follows, a clear reference to south Londons Latin quarter, the tune has a distinct hustle and bustle quality. With a strong flute solo and upbeat rhythm section this tune is sure to have you clapping your hands and stomping your feet. The first side draws to a close with a tasteful Dilla inspired skit, 'Trudi's Mood,' which demonstrates the bands wealth of influences and leaves the listener eager to continue their sonic voyage, with Ruby Rushton at the helm.
Side two opens with a haunting ballad, 'Prayer For Yusef,' a song written in memory of the late Yusef Lateef. It starts softly with a bowed double bass and bamboo flute, accompanied by ghostly percussive noises and slowly rises to a large crescendo, with drums and piano in tow. It's a strong tune and a fitting dedication to the late, great Yusef Lateef. No sooner has Lateef's ballad gently faded away then 'Where Are You Now?' kicks in. Starting with a cool, neck-popping 3/4 beat, and utilising a four-piece horn section, the rhythm section struts its stuff whilst flute and trumpet carve out a playful melodic line. Just as you settle into its hypnotic bounce the tune falls through a Monk inspired chromatic bridge and without warning reappears as a solid Latin groove, leading to strong solos from both sax and keys. The rhythm section charges through to the end, never lagging, and are rejoined by the four-piece horn section, which stabs its way to a tight finish. The album comes to a close as 'The Camel's Back' fades in with an eerie sax solo and free form drums, before settling into a catchy bass motif and quickly fading away, leaving listeners on the edge of their seats and wanting more. It’s a great ending to an intoxicating joy ride through a multitude of genre defying styles!
Simply put, this album is a must have for any listener yearning for exciting and fresh contemporary music. Essential listening for fans of Kamasi Washington, Yussef Kamaal and GoGo Penguin.“
Dry and crunchy techno variants from Detroit youngblood Altstadt Echo, making his first incision on Interdimensional Transmissions’ Eye Teeth imprint after a string of 12”s for his Modern Cathedrals label.
The sound is distinctly more european than Detroit, turning up a brittle, breaks-driven groove in the titular A-side Reposed In Nihilism, whilst the B-side’s Ersatz juggles Diwali Riddim-style claps over gaunt dub chords and restless bass, and The Necessary Facade kills the lights for a hunched tri-step shuffle with stark features picked out by spotlighting chords.
The Early Years follow up last year’s comeback album ‘II’ with a new EP featuring two reworkings of ‘Hall Of Mirrors’ by Andrew Weatherall, which the man himself describes as “like taking Steve Reich down the disco with a bit of acid thrown in”.
"Joining him on remix duties are Andy Bell from the reformed and rejuvenated shoegaze legends Ride, who welds the bassline from Wayne Smith’s ‘Under Mi Sleng Teng’ on to 'For The Fallen’ and turns it into a pulsating electronic groove. Finally, The Early Years’ Sonic Cathedral labelmate XAM (aka Matthew Benn from Hookworms) stretches out ‘Fluxus’ into 13 exhilarating minutes of Kraftwerk meets New Order (circa ‘Power, Corruption & Lies’) meets Simple Minds’ ‘Theme For Great Cities’."
Biding her time until now, Nina Kraviz makes her maiden appearance on трип, the label she’s run since 2015, with a trio of signature, hypnotic house and techno pieces informed as much by Chicago as cold European electronics.
On Pochuvstvui she beats out a crisp, driving jack track layered up with echoic vox and feathery acid lines primed to bring the up the big rooms. You Were Wrong follows in the vein of Green Velvet with nagging, EBMy bass and skipping hi-hats neatly tripped out again with her own vox and silvery, sylvan organ to lip-biting effect, also presented in a condensedShort Version.
Venerable virtuoso guitarist Mike Cooper evokes rich imagery and narrative through simple means - lap steel guitar, FX and imagination - on a particularly personal, compelling solo journey for Room 40; an elegy to formative influences, acknowledging departed friends in beautifully affective style.
If you’ve ever heard a Mike Cooper album you’ll already no doubt be familiar with his peculiar kind of alchemy, taking traditional Pacific music and re-factoring it with electronic treatments influenced by his love of radio art and sound installations.
Now 75 years old - his music sounds utterly contemporary, situated somewhere between Takoma, Exotica, 4th World and Ambient musics; always with a minimal, evocative signature that honestly sounds quite unlike anything or anyone you’ll have heard before.
His inspiration for this album, recounted below, provides heartbreaking context for the sounds you’ll hear on ‘Raft’, but suffice to say that this album has once again convinced us that Cooper is one of the most inspirational and consistently brilliant artists working on the scene today, long may his reign continue.
“When I was 18 years old I had a friend who was twice my age - 36. We worked together in the same timber mill - Baynes in Reading - where i was apprenticed by my father - I had no say in the matter - despite wanting to go to art college - which in hindsight would probably have been a mistake.
My friends name was Jim - Jim Sale. I sensed that Jim was different to all the other men who worked in the mill and my suspicion was confirmed when discovered that he was building a boat in another part of the mill - nearer to the Kennet and Avon canal that ran past - not far away. i was actually destined to work for a while in that part of the mill for a while - it was where they ‘kiln dried’ timber prepared for building purposes.
As time went on Jim became a kind of ‘life mentor’ for me. He and his wife (name gone Im afraid) were my first ‘adult’ friends outside my family. Jim and his wife already lived on a boat when we first met - a canal barge - longboat - and i often visited them down on the river Thames where they were moored. I began to love the river due to them and spent many hours walking it in all the time that I lived in Reading.
The millionaire and holiday resort owner Billy Butlin organised a charity walk from John O Groats in Scotland to Lands End in Cornwall for a prize of 500 to the winner -- 715 people entered - including Jim who as far as I remember completed the walk but didn’t win the money to finance his boat. It was about 1000 kilometres all in all. That was kind of person he was.
Eventually Jim did finish building his boat -- more of a waterproof plywood box really. One weekend he borrowed one of the timber mill cranes and lifted it up and over the fence into the canal. It floated -- he then single handed poled it down the canal to the main body of the Thames. He had no means of steering this box and its only power was his two arms and a long pole. It was reasonably ok going down the fairly tranquil flow of the canal but when he finally hit the main river the current took hold and it began to rotate while being dragged down stream - which wasn’t the direction Jim intended for it to go. Somehow he survived it all and managed to get it to go where he wanted which was to De Montfort island - now called Fry’s Island. There was a ‘bohemian jazz club’ on the island at the time called The Bohemian Club. The island was named after Robert De Montfort who fought a duel there in 1157 with Henry Of Essex.
Jim and his wife settled into life on the island - fitted out the ‘boat’ and had two children - they travelled back and forth to the river banks by a small rowing boat whenever they needed. My own life took me away from them as i began to play music with my band The Blues Committee and sing and play in folk clubs.
We had friends in common and I stayed in touch and I visited several times - one day I heard the terrible news that the boat had caught fire and they were unable to rescue their two children. It was the first funeral i ever attended and I have never saw either of them again after that.
So - Raft will be dedicated to them as well as William Willis and Vital Alsar and his crew.”
Light the Currents is the third release by Glasgow's Sound of Yell, following their 2014 LP Brocken Spectre and 2015 single Fortunate Fume on Chemikal Underground.
"Composed by Stevie Jones, and performed together with Georgie McGeown, visual artist Vikki Morton (Muscles of Joy, Suckle) and Trembling Bell's Alex Neilson, Light the Currents is a bright and buoyant acoustic arrangement in two parts; the first written for a special performance at an exhibition of artwork by Katy Dove at Dundee Contemporary Arts in October 2016, the second written afterwards as a response to the exhibition and the experience of playing there.
Stevie Jones is one of the great music collaborators of Scotland, involved with a variety of projects incorporating theatre & film, playing as a member of Alasdair Roberts Trio and Arab Strap as well as a wealth of ensembles from Glasgow's genre bending fringes, all to the benefit of his own project. Sound of Yell possess a musical dexterity and lightness of touch that seem distinctly of their home town. These two gorgeous compositions are the perfect summer soundtrack."
Micromanic is a colossal slab of percussive energy composed and performed by Berlin based Matti Gajek.
"Micromanic begins with tentative steps, which soon morph into a chattering electronic birdsong before giving way to an assertive, hammering bassline. The structure eventually crumbles into discordant noise and echoes, eventually giving way to something gentler and almost bucolic.
Gajek weaves a complex and varied narrative with absolute technical aplomb, resulting in an experimental and hypnotic recast of Krautrock. Gajek is signed to Monkeytown Records and recently toured with Chris Clark. He is also a member of the freshly formed New Composers Collective (NCC) together with Andi Toma, Jan St. Werner and Michael Rauter."
Lucerne’s zweikommasieben Magazine cough up two chunks of cranky noise and gabber from —Nilbog (aka Mr. Peña & L.A.B.) and Mr. Peña in the wake of previous editions by Raime, Robert Turman, dane//close, P. Noir a.o.
The A-side very cannily features the edition number written on the wax in marker pen, and whilst the ink doesn’t actually disturb the wax, it’s kinda hard to tell the difference anyway as its Liverecording 02/11/16 sounds like the death gargle of a modem anyway.
The B-side’s TMC (The Markt Chornicles) however is easier categorised as a mutant gabber thing mixing ear-shreddingly sweet hardstyle melodies with rampant bass drums at breakneck velocity.
Either side could have feasibly come out on Zhark or Praxis over the last 20 years.
Charmingly frivolous Belgian soundtrack for contemporary dance and children’s theatre. File beside your copies of Alain Pierre’s jan Zonder Vrees OST, and Graeme Miller & Steve Shill’s score for The Moomins
“Considering Elko Blijweert's been active in the Belgian music scene for about fifteen years now, it comes as quite a surprise that "I Bambini Di Basilisco"is only his first ever solo album. Known mainly for his virtuoso yet ever idiosyncratic guitar playing, Elko B. treats the listener to much more than just that. With the exception of the heavily guitar-driven western pastiche "Cochon Torrero", the emphasis here lies on dark Carpenteresque synthesizer sounds as well as jolly child-friendly melodies.
The twelve pleasantly concise songs, mainly based on compositions Blijweert made as soundtrack material for contemporary dance theatre and children's puppet theatre, beautifully blend together into a whole as the listener is presented with a unique glimpse inside the wide-ranging imagery that is Elko B.'s ever-expanding musical world.”
French soundsmith Sebastien Bouchet has a well-documented knack for deep, eccentric techno and house – as well as a reputation for keeping his solo releases few and far between.
"Seeing him return to Kompakt under new monicker Sebastopol is a pretty special treat, then – his last contribution to the Kompakt label family dates back to 2014, when he dropped Speicher 77.
Opener and title track Gahalowood gets things off the launch pad quickly, thanks to its stoic kickdrum and surging synths – but it’s those vocals that really pull you in, evolving from atmospheric swabs of texture to full-blown mumblecore imbued with all the deadpan romanticism of an early 80s New Wave act. B side follow-up FLASH POOL seems equally committed to the human voice, deploying its intimate groove whispering upfront, but takes an unexpected turn into psychedelic cowbell territory where feral bleeps roam the lands and hooklines grow in the weirdest of places.
Closing cut HEAVEN presents a comparatively straightforward house arc - while still sniffing out some trippy goodness that’ll leave your thirst of sonic adventure wholly satisfied."
Untold takes the deconstructed club music thing to a logical next stage with the tattered dynamics of HEK029, his first new release since Doff , and a fine follow-up to Parris’ Your Kiss Is Sour for Hemlock.
With the fractious, febrile dynamics of Tear Up The Club it sounds like he’s been dream-stealing from Lee Gamble and BLOOM, resulting a cloud of dissected jungle and ambient tropes diffused into a delirious, elusive polymetric designs suggesting myriad options for the DJs and dancers and a remarkable headful of madness for the home or headphone listener.
Watton Res feels to invert that effect, conducting his rhythmic itchiness at the perimeter of the piece around a languid core of balearic, new age strums and convulsive bass in a sore but lush flux of ballistics and proprioception-challenging dimensions.
Kenny “Moodymann” Dixon Jr.’s remixes for Pollyn, given a plate to themselves for the first time, cut a side a piece for the DJs and optimal dancefloor pressure.
The loose-limbed swang of his take on Sometimes You Just Know owns the front with darting bass swerve and dabs of crowd noise livening up and cooling out Pollyn’s disco-pop original.
On the flip you’ll find KDJ’s sublime, sensuous rework of Too Late To Change The Past, taken from their Distress Signals  album and smushed with an amazing, oily bassline and impeccably ‘90s-sounding pop vox - think Opus 3.
After a session together in a Bergen studio 20 years ago which sadly only resulted in a distorted tape, Bjørn Torske and Prins Thomas finally get back together to make music.
"Bjørn Torske is a figurehead and grand old man of the electronic music scene in Norway, inspiring and laying the foundation for producers like Prins Thomas, Lindstrom and Todd Terje.
Bjørn and Thomas' relationship goes back to the mid 90's when they first bonded over a shared passion for oddball disco, dub and detroit techno. This album is in many ways full circle with Bjorn and Thomas making music together for the first time.
Square One is a collection of loose, abstract and freeform avant-disco jams, parallel world-disco maybe? Whatever you call it, this album is a labour of love. A sound they both have traveled towards for all these years. And here they finally are, at square one.
The album was recorded live in Taakeheimen Studio, Oslo, in the spring of 2015 with both guys manning an instrument each in each overdub, piling the layers of sounds on top of each other. A year later they took the now edited tracks and mixed them down in live takes with all hands on the desk in Malabar, another Oslo studio. After a couple of rounds with some very blunt scissors the tracks became what are now included on this album.
Square One is a meeting of two minds. Probably as close to their musical soul as you can get."
The dual albums find the trio of Buzz Osborne, Dale Crover and Steve McDonald showcasing two distinct sides to the band’s music: ‘Death’ is a ‘proper’ Melvins’ release and ‘Love’ is the score to the Jesse Nieminen-directed, self-produced short also titled ‘A Walk With Love & Death’.
"“This was a huge undertaking,” explained band ringleader Buzz Osborne. “All three things: the album, the soundtrack and the film are benchmarks for us.” Drummer Dale Crover added, “‘A Walk With Love & Death’ is one giant, dark, moody, psychotic head trip! Not for the faint of heart. You’ll sleep with the lights on after listening.”
The albums, which include guests Joey Santiago (The Pixies), Teri Gender Bender (Le Butcherettes / Crystal Fairy) and Anna Waronker (That Dog), were co-produced with engineer Toshi Kosai."
As one of the standout projects unveiled by the excellent but sadly now defunct /\ \ Aught label (2014-2015), Xth Réflexion’s /\ \ 05 + /\ \ 06 tapes transmitted some of the most enigmatic dub techno mutations since Chain Reaction kicked the bucket in 2003. Now brought to vinyl by a mysterious new label, Chained Library, we’re given a firmly tangible, if decidedly elusive reminder of Xth Réflexion’s raving, abstract excellence here.
Collecting /\ \ 05 + /\ \ 06 in their entirety - 10 tracks to be precise - Xth Réflexion’s first vinyl plunges listeners into a world of kinetic dub ephemera, feeling out a grayscale palette of cracked rhythms, silty chords and atmospheric grit with a sublime appreciation of flux and drift that feels to emulate the sensation or dynamic of brownian motion with an intoxicating appeal akin to the systolic diffusion of opioids or air-con in a sparsely furnished, humid room.
They scale and skid between tempos with naturally fluid agility, sucking us in with the flux of acousmatic source material, strobing dub rhythms and coruscating noise in 01 before winding up the tightly coiled, double-time flex of highlight, 02 and jabbing out the panicked underwater coda of 04 on the first disc, before the 2nd wraps up wickedly restless square bass squirm and rhythmic noise in 05 and 06, along with the desiccated structures of 07, plus the Voices From The Lake-style roil of 08 and the Lee Gamble-like immersion 10.
Striking the finest balance between abstraction and just-about-buoyant dub function, they are, by some distance, the best examples we’ve heard crawl out of the whole grey area in the last few years. A really strong look for anyone looking for solutions to grid-locked rhythm and sound problems.
P.S. if you’re worried about the packaging affecting the fidelity of the vinyl, we’re pretty sure that’s supposed to be the point, especially considering that the originals were presented on tape.
Akkord slip out of the shadows with the wraith-like jungle killer RCVR and a mutant ‘ardcore twyster, XMTR for their spiritual home; Rob Booth’s Houndstooth.
With time spent on respective solo projects since release of the Obelisk 10” , they hungrily converge on a sound somewhere between Burial and Demdike Stare with the lip-bitingly strong swerve of RCVR, seemingly reanimating the cadavers of ’94 Dillinja and Bizzy B like when you run an electrical charge thru a dead frog, triggering a golem-like creation of brittle breakbeats and arcing, slashing mentasms primed to run amok in the rave.
XMTR goes even farther backwards/forwards into the grave of UK ‘ardcore, exhuming and experimenting with the bodies of 2 Bad Mice in a back street vivisection of illegal subs and gristly breaks guided by a dread hand.
Rubadub kicks off an irregular new series with three dead-on techno-house tracks by New York's Anthony Naples (Mister Saturday Night / Trilogy Tapes / Opal Tapes). Buff up yer dancing clogs 'cause this one's an ace, from the Shake-like chords and jack of 'Ill Still' to the good-times disco -house vibes of 'Faceless', and the gritty-but-elegant thump of 'I Don't See Them' on the flipside. Aces.
Aisha Orazbayeva and Naomi Sato link up for this richly textured reading of John Cage´s Two4, a late work from the composer's series of Number Pieces. The release follows recent records from SN Variations featuring music by Giacinto Scelsi, Adrian Corker and Chris Watson among others.
Steady, crystalline tones emanate from Naomi Sato's shō - a Japanese wind instrument associated with gagaku court music, and one of the few non-Western instruments that Cage wrote explicitly for. In contrast, Orazbayeva brings out the violin's fragile grain with the soft scraping of horsehair and the interplay of upper partials.
Like all of Cage´s work from the early 1950s onwards, the Number Pieces were composed using chance procedures, in an attempt to free music from the composerly impulse to order and fixity.
The Number Pieces occupied Cage throughout the last six years of his life, and are marked by the use of time brackets: simple fragments of music with timings indicating when, in the overall composition, they should begin and end. In Two4 (as in the majority of the series) these timings are flexible, to be determined by the musician either in performance or, again, through chance procedures.
In Two4, the fragments are often no more than a single note. The interaction of sounds becomes highly unpredictable: at some points violin and shō mesh in a kind of brief unity, while elsewhere they seem to drift serenely past, or through, each other. Throughout, sounds spill out like ink on blotting paper, surrounded by pregnant silence.
Other recent projects from Aisha Orazbayeva include performances at Oslo's Only Connect (with Tim Etchells) and Copenhagen's Klang festival (with Plus Minus) as well as recording Morton Feldman's Piano, Violin, Viola, Cello for forthcoming release on Another Timbre.”
After hinting at this sound for years, Stefan Schneider and Sven Kacirek turn out as uniquely beguiling mesh of textured rhythmelodic electronics and Sofia Jernberg’s pinched, puckered vocals shaped into wistful, sorta-ambient pop songs. RIYL Kriedler, To Rococo Rot, Harmonia
“Another dose of whirring rhythms and dark drones courtesy of Stefan Schneider and Sven Kacirek. This time around they have introduced the beguiling tones of Swedish singer Sofia Jernberg on three pieces. The Düsseldorf/Hamburg duo Schneider Kacirek released their debut album Shadows Documents some three years ago (BB 175CD/LP). A coarse energy ran through Shadows Documents, drawing on the pair's various excursions to Kenya as producers. Shadows Documents was a somnambulistic interpretation of Kenyan music using drums and percussion (Kacirek) and analog synthesizers (Schneider) -- no samples. The two of them took their time working on Radius Walk. Since their debut release, they have toured extensively with the likes of John McEntire (Tortoise, The Sea and Cake). The experience of playing together in live situations has influenced how they interact as musicians, a process which has helped to shape the new record. The acoustics of Sven Kacirek's studio were set up perfectly to capture the forceful sound of the drums and analog synthesizers as they melt into a compact whole. The result is a sonically more concentrated and more transparent album in comparison to its predecessor.
Dark bass drones and whirring percussion sounds figure prominently in the music. A fascination with repetitive rhythm is the common thread which runs through the musical development of both musicians: listen to Stefan Schneider in his other projects, the bands Kreidler and To Rococo Rot, and his albums with Hans-Joachim Roedelius. Further evidence can be heard on Kacirek's solo albums, in particular on his much-lauded Kenya Sessions (PING 020CD, 2011). By introducing the Swedish singer Sofia Jernberg, Schneider and Kacirek have added a new dimension to their music. They first met Jernberg in Berlin, where she performed with Kenyan singer Ogoya Nengo for whom Schneider and Kacirek had done production work in the past. As one of the most sought after vocalists on the improvised music circuit, Jernberg made an immediate impression on Schneider and Kacirek, who were quick to suggest that they work together. The splendid fruits of their labors can be savored on three tracks on the album. "Dust", "i Atlanten", and "Smiling" express both Jernberg's love of Scandinavian folk music and her mastery of improvisation. Her voice neither dominates the songs in the manner of a singer-songwriter, nor does it lean towards crossover experimentation. It feels more like a brand new genre of music.”
Smoky, lo-fi introspection from Italy’s Morkebla and Portland-based Best Available Technology (BAT) from 2015, making its first digital appearance here.
The Morkebla tracks are oozing with late night feels, with the claggy chamber synth meditations of Absent Visor and I Numeri Maestri sandwiching the SKRSINTL-esque dub wormhole, A Sob Inverts, and BAT does his cranky offbeat thing with murky results in Recasting Ope and what sounds like Pole played by machine sprites in Spectra Exigent.
Dutch electro-jazz-funk oddball Jameszoo gives a welcome follow-up to his bugged-out Fool album with the mad flair of his Flake EP, including faithfully freaky remixes from Niels Broos and Frans Petter.
Working at the maddest angles of his ‘Comedy Funk’ style, Jameszoo treads a fine line between instrumental looseness and bittersweet synthetic tones across the EP, turning up most endearing highlights in the head-pinching highs and collapsed groove of Rolrolrol, and the almost Arca-esque swoon and discordant keen of Spit, before his Jameszoo Quartet keyboardist Niels Broos squeezes the title cut Flake into wild, squirming, weightless figures, and Frans Petter strokes the same elements into a sort of curdled fusion jazz with tuffer breaks.
Jan Schulte makes his Dekmantel debut with Peace Moves, an EP of percussive soul, that captures the Salon Des Amateurs resident in full, tribal swing.
Four tracks of informed, well-paced grooves, and finely crafted beats that extenuate the German’s penchant for the mature, and fun loving heads.
Drowsy, melancholy dub-pop from New Jackson’s From Night To Night album
...backed with a dosed-up and floppy skanking Peaking Lights remix and his vocodered kosmiche boogie ace, Let The Freak Come Out At Night.
San Antonio, Texas-based House of Kenzo add to the trail of dancefloor destruction on Rabit’s Halcyon Veil with a debut EP of rugged hard club tracks experimenting with a fusion of gabber kicks and heavy metal slashes.
Bonfires of Urbanity showcases three of the collective in fierce fashion, tossing up the controlled rage of Ledef’s blast beat rushes, side-eying vocals and cartoonish sirens in Purity Bynez, and to Death Grips-like effect in Hangar Queen featuring barked vocals by Kelly Mizrahi, with a paranoid, claustrophobic diagnosis of American contemporary culture in the EP’s most impressive part, Tone Pardon’s fractious anti-banger, Melania Carry.
From the ashes of the excellent /\\Aught label comes Chained Library with a deadly smart incision on the whole abstract and noisy techno paradigm from the enigmatically monikered Agnes.
The label’s first release - preceding a vinyl issue of Xth Réflexion’s /\\05-06 - offers two extended tracts of stoically convincing and oblique rhythmic noise threaded with ghost ion the machine fluctuations that keep us utterly rapt for the duration.
We could compare it to a stoned Russell Haswell getting fixated on the minute of his thing, or perhaps more pertinently a Zbigniew Karkowski piece, but as with the best of its ilk, there’s just something about these pieces that’s deeply fucking satisfying, but we can’t quite place our finger on or explain.
At long f**king last, DJ Bone’s stone cold Metroplex classic sees reissue on Anotherday for its 18th birthday, putting one of the deadliest Detroit electro-techno 12”s back into circulation for a new generation and those who’ve worn theirs to the bone (pun intended).
Riding The Thin Line notably features two cuts that were integral to DJ Bone’s seminal and incredible Subject: Detroit Volume 2 mix, namely Shut The Lights Off, a slamming tribal tool with stentorian vocals and utterly spine-freezing pads that get us every time, and the body messing acid-electro hydraulics of The Funk, which is pretty much a definitive answer to the question, what is Detroit electro?
Factor in the floating peak time pressure of The Haunting, pitch it all to about +4, and you’ve basically got an unmissable 12” for any self-respecting Detroit fiend.
R&S dig into the Romanian tech-house underground with Ada Kaleh’s woozy, Villalobos or [a:apia:r]-styled jaunt on Palatul De Cleştar, which is given a slightly darker shake-up by Hungary’s Laurine Frost on the remix
The hypnotically contoured and sloshing form of Kaleh’s Devotare is recoiled as a surging minimal techno burner by Romania/Berlin’s Cosmic TRG.

In the modern world, perennial pasture based agriculture is not the norm. Here are 10 reasons to choose perennial pasture based agriculture. It’s better for the consumer, for the land, for the farmer and for the animals.
- Better tasting food. Have you ever tasted grain-finished beef without any seasoning? No? Neither have I. There just isn’t any flavor to taste. However, pasture raised meats are packed with great flavor!
- Nutrient dense food. Perennial plants build deep root systems allowing the plants (and animals) access to more nutrients and minerals. This leads to food with a higher nutrient density, keeping your body healthy.
- Chemical free food. Properly managed perennial pastures don’t require synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides and other toxic chemicals. This results in food that is safe and healthy to eat.
- Less runoff. Remember those deep roots we mentioned earlier? They help water infiltrate into the soil rather than running off and sending fertility downstream.
- Less evaporation. With perennial pastures soils are always covered which keeps water where it’s supposed to be, in the soil. This leads to healthier plants and prevents desertification.
- Deeper richer soils. Every year, properly managed perennial pastures build new topsoil. Massive amounts of carbon are also stored in soil as new topsoil is built.
- Increasing soil life. Remember those chemicals that don’t need to be sprayed anymore? It turns out the soil comes back to life when toxic sprays are removed. All kinds of important ecology and critters can live in perennial pasture based systems.
- More productive land. Perennial pasture based agriculture builds soil rather than destroying it. This leads to higher production on the same amount of land. It’s almost like free land for farmers who protect the environment!
- No need for constant replanting. Farmers no longer need to replant every year since perennial pasture plants come back year after year on their own. It’s not cheap owning expensive planting equipment, buying seed and replanting each year.
- No need for expensive harvesting equipment. Have you ever priced out a combine? They’re not cheap (right around half a million dollars), but you won’t need one in a perennial based system. Your animals can do your harvesting for you. And they love it! Just watch a cow out on pasture some time.
- It turns out perennial pasture based agriculture can save the farmer a lot of time and money. In addition to the above time and money savers, the farmer no longer needs to spray and fertilize. No need to buy the sprays and fertilizer either.
- Happier animals. Which leads to healthier animals. Which leads to better productivity and a higher quality product.
I’m sure there are a lot of other reasons to choose perennial pasture based agriculture as well. Feel free to leave them in the comments below.

Street Level Photoworks are pleased to present exclusive limited edition prints by Oscar Marzaroli on the occasion of the first major retrospective exhibition in over thirty years.
Oscar Marzaroli is arguably Scotland’s most notable documentary photographer. His photographs and films of Glasgow from the 1950s through to the 1980s captured a period of enormous change with images of people going about their lives in the city, at work and at leisure.
Many of the black and white images depict children playing in the streets, and many simply capture the city in bygone days. Some of his most well known images detail Glasgow's Gorbals community in the 1960s. He was a photographer of great ability who captured the nature of the city and people with sensitivity and empathy.
Through portraits and landscapes, Marzaroli captured Scotland during an exceptional time when city slums were being cleared to make way for new social housing. It is said his images perfectly encapsulate the atmosphere surrounding those fundamental shifts in society.
Bridges over the River Clyde (1963) is one of thirteen archival pigment prints available, each in an edition of 10 courtesy of the Oscar Marzaroli Collection. Each print is signed and stamped verso by the Oscar Marzaroli Collection, and comes with a certificate of authenticity.

Planet of the apes and the walking dead lol
Awe shut up . Someone would have to be a blooming idiot to listen to you . Go pray and get a grip .
So wait till it really gets rough. America will not give up it's freedom with out a fight.
Trump doesn't give a damn about black, white, purple, or brown...
He's concerned about the rich and the poor!
But Obama was born in Hawaii....
No person Above the Law dumb f*** Obama broke the law over and over Andover and then he hopes Hillary break the law over and over and over and the countless other f**** that were in prison that he released that's what they broke the law but he is signed a little piece of paper and magically they were released from prison
How the f*** does that have anything to do with Trump or any of the actual normal people that follow them I'm so sick of you guys as low blows for all we know that f******* higher going to say that s*** because it just keeps coming out in the wash that these people will stoop to new lows every single day
Jesus!! The nerve of some turds!!!
When this racist gets jail time, and when all racists recieve jail time, it just greases the gears of my damn soul.
I call bullshit. It's easy for someone to pay somebody else to say mean things and then post said mean things in order to get attention.
OBAMA WAS BORN IN HAWAII YOU IGNORANT FUCKS
What law was broken? So far nothing. This looks like fake news
Terrorist in America at it's finest.
So nobody asked for President Obama to be impeached? Let's go to the tape.
Do they know about caller ID? And phone taps?
It's a federal offense to threaten Govt officials.... including the mailman. So imagine what the penalty might be for threatening a Senator.
Their will be change when GOD comes for US!!!

Last night, Westworld finally returned to HBO after over a year since Season 1 ended. When we last left off with the series, Dolores and the other “hosts” had begun an uprising, beginning with killing Dr. Ford. Unfortunately for the humans trapped in the park, the carnage has only just begun, and Season 2 is already so much more violent than the entirety of last season.
The premiere episode, “Journey Into Night,” certainly had some standout moments to set the stage for the story moving forward. So let’s go through the episode and talk about the five biggest moments from last night’s show…
5. Dolores is now a straight up mass murderer
It was clear something had changed with the farmer’s daughter the last time we saw her in Season 1. After killing her creator, Dolores set her sights on the Westworld board of directors. And apparently this newfound bloodlust for the host was just a sign of things to come.
By the end of “Journey Into Night,” Dolores is by far the creepiest character on Westworld. She not only hunts down human survivors, shooting them on horseback or leaving them to hang – she enjoys it. Developing a consciousness has given Dolores more freedom, but it has also made her very sinister. And from the look on Teddy’s face, even her host boyfriend is starting to get a little freaked out.
4. William is BACK and playing a new game
As luck would have it, William – formerly referred to as simply the “Man in Black” – survived the massacre of the board of directors at the end of Season 1. Perhaps finally getting what he always really wanted, the stakes are now real for William. There’s no longer any room for mistakes if the Westworld veteran wants to make his way out of the park alive.
However, it doesn’t seem William is in a rush to go. It seems that Dr. Ford has orchestrated a final test for him, suspecting he’d survive the host takeover. William is given more vague clues from a host on where he can find this door he’s looking for, and now seems to be embarking on a new mission to complete Ford’s final test for him.
3. Maeve sets out to find her “real” daughter
With most of the humans in the park executed by the uprising hosts, Lee Sizemore is one of very few survivors. He comes across Maeve who nearly executes him, but the two realize they can possibly help each other out. In return for sparing him, Lee promises to help Maeve navigate her way around the park to go wherever she needs to. Soon after, Maeve meets up with her old lover Hector, forming a rather intriguing trio.
Maeve reveals to Lee that she wants to go back home, to the place where she had a daughter in one of her previous “roles.” Lee argues that her daughter isn’t real, and just a storyline that was programmed for her. But her child is very real to Maeve, so with no other options left, Lee agrees to embark across the park to lead them there.
2. A freaking TIGER found its way into Westworld
We’ve seen a lot of strange this on this series, but the Season 2 premiere proves we still haven’t seen it all. Bernard’s group comes across the corpse of a bengal tiger resting along the water. Obviously, this isn’t a real tiger – it’s a synthetic animal created by Delos – but what is it doing in Westworld?
It is then revealed that there are at least five other parks, with this tiger evidently coming from “Park 6.” But this is still very bizarre as the animals have never crossed park borders before. Is the tiger from the teased Shogun World, or from some other yet-to-be-revealed theme park? How it managed to wind up in Westworld remains to be seen, but there’s definitely more to this story.
1. Bernard has killed hundreds of hosts
While searching for hosts in the park, Bernard leads the group to an area where hundreds of them are clustered. They come to an ocean which was not on the map and apparently not part of the park previously. Where did this large body of water suddenly come from?
As they take a look at the water, however, an even bigger question comes up. We can see that hundreds of dead hosts are floating lifelessly, all a part of a watery mass grave. It’s clear right away that somebody has been killing hosts and dumping them here, but who? Before we can even speculate, however, Bernard comes forward with the stunning revelation that he is the one who killed them all. What a cliffhanger for HBO to leave us with…
So far, the return to Westworld is becoming much more of a thrill ride than the first go-round. Find out what happens next when the show airs Sunday nights on HBO!


The Saturday matinee broadcast of the Metropolitan Opera on December 26 will be Elektra by Richard Strauss. Classic 99.1 KFUO-FM will carry the broadcast beginning at 12:00 noon (CT). Running time will be approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes.
Elektra will be conducted by Fabio Luisi and will star Susan Bullock in the title role and Deborah Voigt as Chrysothemis.
The fine folks at the ClassicLive web site say:
Elektra is a one-act opera by Richard Strauss, to a German-language libretto by Hugo von Hofmannsthal adapted from his drama of 1903—the first of many such collaborations between composer and librettist. It was first performed at the Dresden State Opera on January 25, 1909, and remains a part of the standard operatic repertoire.
There's a very interesting discussion of Elektra, complete with videos, at the web site The Awl. Seth Colter Walls, Choire Sicha, and Matthew Gallaway compare the impact of Elektra to punk rock, and argue that Richard Strauss "is one of the most important composers of the 20th Century. In the manner of say, Picasso, he paved the way for the atonal dissonance and 12-tone scales that would come to define progressive music for the next 100 years or more."


Social media giant Facebook has announced that its fight against fake news will involve third-party fact checking organizations, however there are grave concerns about the legitimacy of those groups after it was revealed George Soros and Bill Gates, as well as other Clinton donors are funding the fact checking drive.
Many people are taking it for granted that these fact checkers are the quintessence of neutrality and unbiased reporting. Well, judge for yourself.

Facebook released a statement on December 15 advising users that they were starting a program to “work with third-party fact checking organizations that are signatories of Poynter’s International Fact Checking Code of Principles (IFCN)”.

Here’s an interesting fact about Poynter, the self-proclaimed “global leader in journalism”. They are funded by George Soros’ Open Society Foundations, The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the National Endowment for Democracy (which has financial links to the State Department), Ebay’s Omidyar Foundation, and Craig Newmark, the founder of Craigslist who donated a massive $1 million to Poynter to create this anti fake news mechanism.
But it gets even worse.
Craig Newmark is also a Clinton campaign donor. As is George Soros and Bill Gates, both big time supporters of the Clinton Foundation as well as Hillary’s election campaign fund. And another Poynter donor, Ebay founder Pierre Omidyar, is also a massive donor to Clinton, giving millions of dollars to the Foundation.
Danish journalist Iben Thranholm said she was shocked that such obviously partisan fact checkers would be allowed to control the narrative in United States politics. “It gave me goosebumps to hear those names because they have actually a very strong political agenda. It’s like there are a lot of people who think that its dangerous not to be able to control the media, so to sort out what is supposedly the real news and the fake news is actually a way to control the narrative. So if you want to be in opposition to these political powers then you are going to be censored. Of course this is a kind of censorship.”
Welcome to 1984’s Ministry of Truth, where only selected facts are allowed to exist while other facts that don’t fit Washington’s neoliberal narrative will be labelled “fake news” and suppressed.

Pinoy Big Brother Update: PBB All In Episode July 25, 2014 #uber18: This is still the continuation of the celebration of Jane’s debut. The visitors were there inside, enjoying the food and the conversation. Suddenly, ex-housemate Nichole gave something to Manolo. It was a heart shaped steel with her face in it. Manolo appreciated Nichole’s simple gift to him. Manolo will put the steel heart to his bag. The housemates together with the visitors were able to meet and greet each other. When the mother of Jane approached each and every housemate, Joshua was shy.
Previously on Pinoy Big Brother Update: PBB All In Episode July 24, 2014 #uberGoinDalaga: July 24th is a very special episode for the housemates especially for Jane since it is focused more on her debut. Before that, the housemates did a lot of tasks in order to materialize their desire to give Jane a good celebration of her debut. And they succeeded with their plans. The thing is they kept Jane inside the ladies’ room for several hours along with Maris in order for them to prepare everything outside for the celebration that evening including the designs, foods, etc. It was Manolo and Loisa whom Big Brother called in the confession room to plan for the debut of Jane.

New Delhi, May 27 : The National Capital Region was put on high alert by Union Home Ministry on Tuesday in view of the call by the Gujjar protestors for "NCR shutdown" on May 29.
Rajasthan Police used tear gas on Gujjar protestors on Delhi-Jaipur Highway and in Tonk district today as the stir spreads to new areas in Rajasthan.
Police fired teargas shells to disperse hundreds of protesters who had blocked the busy Delhi-Jaipur national highway near Kothputli about 130 kms from the State capital, leading to traffic chaos.
Police had earlier lathicharged the agitators.
Gujjar protesters were also teargassed by police in Tonk district, about 200 kms from Jaipur, after they tried to shut down shops and block roads, Superintendent of Police Giriraj Lal Meena said.
At least ten people including two policemen were hurt in the violence at Ghas village, twelve kms from Tonk, Meena said.
In Banswara district, the protestors set effigies of Chief Minister Vasudhara Raje and State Home Minister Gulab Chand Kataria on fire. Some minor clashes with police were also reported from the area.
The agitations do not seem to die down with Gujjar leader Colonel Kirori Singh Bainsla who is camping along with his supporters in Karwadi in Bharatpur district, vowing to continue the ongoing stir.
He is in no mood to relent and has asked the Central Government to consider the community's demand for Scheduled Tribe (ST) status, adding he would not settle for anything less than that.
"The Centre should examine our demand. The agitation will go on. What the Gujjars want is ST status notified under Section 342 of the Constitution," Bainsla said.
"I have stated it before and I state it again that the letter of the C M Vasundhara Raje to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is a total farce, as it does not refer to the issue of ST status, but reportedly mentions something about nomadic tribes," he added.
On Monday, Raje had recommended four to six per cent reservation for Gujjars in the category of denotified class of tribals/nomadic tribes, according to Rajasthan Parliamentary Affairs Minister R S Rathore.


Due to the fact that LEDs have great advantages such as long life, cheap, low energy consumption compared to other traditional sources, they have quickly replaced traditional lighting products. As its usage area expanded, R&D studies on it increased rapidly and it became a mature technology in a short time. This development in LED technology led to a revolution in the TV industry and led to the emergence of new generation TVs. With this growth, the increasing demand has put the producers in a great competition in terms of price and quality. In order to stand out in this competition, manufacturers have adopted the method of creating product diversity with common materials.
One of the most important parameters determining the segmentation in the TV industry is the brightness value. Pulse width modulation and analog dimming methods are used to adjust the common backlight system at different brightness levels. By obtaining various brightnesses with different PWM or analog dimming values, products in different segments can be designed with the same backlight. With this situation, it has become important to control the behavior of backlight systems at different pwm or analog dimming values.
In this study, a direct-lit backlight system was installed with the LEDs of 3 different led brands, and the brightness and color shifts were measured at different pwm and analog dimming levels. Differences between analog dimming and pwm are compared.

You don’t truly realize how little furniture/home decor you own until you move into a house and have very little furniture to fill the spaces! Leading up to and since Derick and I have gotten married, I’ve made it a goal of mine to find affordable and creative ways to furnish our home, piece by piece, room by room.
Y’all know my love of taking old pieces and giving them new life, but I continue to want to stretch my imagination for a piece and try new things beyond giving them a new coat of paint! I decide to go completely out of my comfort-zone with this project and try two new things: chalk paint and contact paper.
I did a couple things in addition to working on the desk, and I used two forms of Rust-oleum chalk paint for both of my projects! I painted the desk of course, and then I gave a couple old accessories I wanted to re-use new life! I had both this faux deer head and antler that I bought on clearance from T.J. Maxx some years ago, and I decided I wanted to make them both a nice matte white to tie into the white marble contact paper I’d be using on the desk. I used Rust-oleum’s Chalked Ultra Matte Spray Paint in Linen White to give both pieces and quick and easy transformation! Now, onto desk details!
This desk was given to us by my in-laws, so the cost of this project is was under $30! They felt it was old and outdated and didn’t really have a place for it. They were actually going to junk this beauty! They asked if we would want it before they did so, and I happily said yes as I envisioned what it could become! With all the detail work, I was dreading sanding it and prepping it. I remembered how I’d heard that chalk paint needed no sanding or priming and thinking “PSHHH, yeah sureeeeeee.” *cue massive eyeroll* I was so desperate not to sand or prime that I decided to give it a go, and y’all, I’M NOW A BELIEVER! Two coats and done. Complete, beautiful matte coverage in a beautiful color! I used Rust-oleum’s Chalked Chalk Paint in Aged Gray and was incredibly pleased with the color, ease of use and finish! I always use a detail brush for the detailed pieces and thin strips of wood first, and then roll over the bigger sections with a small foam roller and I find it gives the most even, professional look. For finishing details, I simply spray painted the old fixtures with Rust-oleum’s Universal Metallic Paint and Primer in One Spray Paint in Oil-Rubbed Bronze! It gave them an authentic bronze look and has a nice metallic shimmer to it!
Once everything was painted, it was time to apply the contact paper! I chose this one off of amazon and loved the price as well as the overall look compared to other ones. Applying this to the desk top was probably the hardest part of this project, it took both Derick and I and we still ended up with air bubbles here and there! So I’m not the person to ask on how to perfectly apply contact paper haha, but we cut it to size, and one of us held the paper above the desk where we wanted it to go and the other used a flat-sided tool to slowly smooth it down. I would highly recommend looking up tips to apply contact paper, because there could be other easier ways of doing it. That, or it’s just really difficult no matter what haha!
The finished product:
I was so pleased with how this project turned out, and glad I took a couple chances on materials I’d never used before. I will definitely be utilizing both in future projects!
I was finally able to use many of the gifts we’d gotten for our engagement/wedding in this space once I had a desk to frame the room so to speak! I was gifted the Barnwood Shelves off of our registry, the adorable faux succulents (similar here) and tin container, and the white-washed wood list-holder! Pretty much everything else were clearance buys from T.J. Maxx and Hobby Lobby! A similar faux deer head can be found here, similar faux white antlers can be found here! Lastly, the chair is from our dining room set that I ordered off of Amazon!
Do y’all have an old piece you could give new life with some of these products? If you do, go for it! You won’t regret it.

A trusted motor expert has been thanked for warning fellow drivers about three cars that can lead to exorbitant repair costs.
Scotty Kilmer, a car mechanic with over 55 years of experience, now shares his pearls of wisdom with a YouTube audience of 5.9 million users.
In one of his recent videos, Kilmer singled out three cars that are considered the “least reliable” as daily drivers due to their expensive repair bills.
According to Kilmer, the Alfa Romeo Stelvio, Jeep Wrangler, and Dodge Challenger are known to cost drivers a fortune in repairs.
He specifically warned viewers about the Alfa Romeo Stelvio, calling it “terrible” and stating that “they fall apart.” He advised against purchasing the Alfa Romeo and driving it extensively unless you’re prepared for endless expenses.
Consumer Reports experts earlier this year also expressed concerns about the reliability of the 2023 model of the Alfa Romeo Stelvio, based on the brand’s track record.
While the luxury SUV from the Italian manufacturer Alfa is known for its aesthetics, its lack of reliability is a major issue.
Kilmer further cautioned that due to its lower popularity compared to brands like Audi and BMW, finding dealerships that can service the Alfa Romeo Stelvio can be challenging.
Next on the list of unreliable cars was the Jeep Wrangler, which is suitable for off-road adventures but not for everyday use.
Kilmer’s verdict is that the Jeep Wrangler, priced at £63,000, is too expensive for its ride quality and in-car technology, even though they have improved in recent years.
As for the Dodge Challenger, Kilmer advised against using it as a daily driver but mentioned that it’s a fun vehicle to enjoy occasionally.
He shared a negative experience with the V8 model of the car, explaining how the 750 horsepower engine was overpowering and frightening.
Fans appreciated Kilmer’s expertise, with one person calling him the “greatest car guy on YouTube.”
Another individual stated, “I trust Scotty’s advice because he’s simply the best.”

NORTHWOOD — Three men have been charged in the sexual assault of a 27-year-old woman who authorities say was assaulted while she was unconscious at a home in Manly 0n Dec. 5 — the same home where authorities investigated a woman’s death the next day.
On Dec. 6, the Manly Police Department responded to 327 E. Elmore St. and reported it was investigating the death of 27-year-old Brigett Wirtjes.
One of the three men charged Thursday with the alleged sexual assault is Tyler Wirtjes, 27, the husband of the woman found dead in the home.

The three men are being held in the Worth County Jail without bond.
Police were called to the Manly address on Dec. 6 on a report that a woman there was unresponsive and not breathing.
Police later contacted the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation and requested its assistance in the case, as reported in a story published in the Dec. 18 Globe Gazette.

From 27th October till 6th November Great Lakes Safaris went on a Promotional Tour in the UK.
During the first week we travelled through the scenic countryside, stayed in lovely pubs and met with fantastic, high quality UK tour operators and travel agencies. The first KamiLive Tour ever appeared to be a great success and received overwhelming response.
And as ever, during the first week of November, Great Lakes Safaris was present at the World Travel Market in London. Being part of the Uganda Tourism Board stand, we met with many international tour operators all eager to include Uganda in their safari packages and market the safari destination. In addition, meetings did not only take place at our Uganda stand at WTM but also at the business-to-business cocktail organized by the Uganda High Commission in London and the Atta Networking Event, proudly sponsored by Great Lakes Safaris!

On the outskirts of Kabul, sits what was once Afghanistan's most ceremonious buildings; the Darul Aman palace. Built in the early 1920s by King Amanullah Khan, who wanted to modernise the country by building a new capital city, which Khan wanted to connect to Kabul via a narrow gauge railway.
Now, it lies in ruins.
With walls peppered with bullet holes, roofs which are collapsing and graffiti around its pillars, the Darul Aman has become a symbol of failed attempts to bring peace to war-torn Afghanistan. Decades of fighting have eroded the essence of grandeur that the palace once gave off, and while most of the city has been repaired after it was ravaged by wars and Taliban occupation, the palace remains in ruins.
In 1969, the building was gutted by a fire, only to be restored to house the Defence Ministry during the 1970s and 1980s. During the Communist coup of 1978, the palace was set alight for a second time. It was damaged again as rival Mujahideen factions, who fought for control of Kabul in the early 1990s, after the end of the Soviet invasion. Heavy shelling caused by the Mujahideen, also known as Peshawar Seven, has left the palace a gutted ruin.
Across the hill from the once majestic palace lies the National Assembly, inaugurated in December following a $100m (£68m, €87m) build. Now, President Ashram Ghan has his sights set on the Darul Aman. Plans are now under way to transform the palace into a museum and venue for national ceremonies – a project which will take at least three years and will cost up to $20m, a media adviser for the ministry of Urban Development and Housing told Reuters.
However, the plan is to rebuild, even though the latest phase of Afghanistan's decades of conflict seems from over and could still derail the good intentions. Many people believe the palace should be left alone, serving as a reminder of the awful destruction that war unleashes.

Tuesday 7 November saw the passing of the deadline for official challenges to the candidature of those seeking the presidency. Overall, the Constitutional Court received and determined 59 challenges to the 13 candidates. The decision of the Constitutional Court's deliberations resulted in the removal of the registration of one candidate, independent Lucian Orasel. Orasel was deemed to have dual nationality and hence was ineligible to stand for the position of president.
The latest opinion polls all seem to point towards an overwhelming victory in both the parliamentary and presidential elections for Partidul Democratiei Sociale din România (Party for Social Democracy in Romania, PDSR) and its leader Ion Iliescu. A Metro Media poll carried out towards the end of October canvassed the opinion of over 2000 people in 18 different regions of Romania. Significantly, 20 per cent of the sample said that they were undecided as to whether they would vote or not during the election.
This poll showed that in the presidential election, Iliescu would receive 44.3 per cent of the vote, which is consistent with other poll findings. The second place candidate in the presidential race becomes important if the leading contender does not achieve more than 50 per cent of the ballot. In that case the Constitution requires a second ballot to take place with the leading two candidates as contenders. It is here that the polls show divergence amongst the three candidates who are striving for second place.
Metro Media gives politically independent Prime Minister Mugur Isărescu 15.8 per cent of the vote. He is followed by Theodor Stolojan of Partidul Naţional Liberal (National Liberal Party, PNL) and Corneliu Vadim Tudor of Partidul România Mare (Greater Romania Party, PRM). However, a Gallup poll taken on 26 October concludes that ultra-nationalist Tudor holds a strong second place ahead of both Stolojan and Isărescu.
This poll also indicated a considerable move in the fortunes of Petre Roman of Partidul Democrat (Democratic Party, PD) who was shown to be making up ground on the second place contenders.
Another poll carried out by the Romanian Academic Society (SAR) linked voting choice to the TV channels watched. Their findings confirmed Iliescu's lead from the audiences of all channels. This poll also emphasised a divergence in choice for second place candidate from the audiences of different channels.
As expected, the European Commission's Report on Romania's progress towards accession criticised their record on children's rights. However, head of the National Agency for Children's Rights Protection (ANPDC) Vlad Romano responded by suggesting that the EU had failed to recognise the effort and progress already made.
"We admit many things still have to be done to improve conditions in these institutions ... but to say the system is in a crisis is exaggerated," Romano continued, disputing EU representative Baroness Emma Nicholson's assertion that Romania's child care system was in crisis. (Reuters, 8 November 2000)
On 6 November, Prime Minister Isărescu called together representatives of the 16 political parties that have seats in parliament. They were invited to become signatories to a document that set out Romania's commitment to its children. The document acknowledged that the state was responsible for the protection of institutionalised children and pledged that all parliamentary parties would ensure that the rights of all children are maintained.
Opposition parties, PDSR, Alianţa pentru România (Alliance for Romania, ApR) and Partidul Unităţii Naţionale Românilor (Party of Romanian National Unity, PUNR) asked for a week to consider their response. Isărescu admitted that the lack of progress in improving the living standards of children who lived in institutions was one of the failures of his government.
Benefits and pensions
The government have passed an emergency order, whereby the amount of child benefit paid to families by the state was doubled. A rise from just over USD three per month to over USD six per month was implemented with immediate effect. The government hopes that this measure will help to slow down the rate at which children are being abandoned by their families. The child benefit is taxable and so this programme is being presented as a means of wealth re-distribution.
Prime Minister Isărescu confirmed that state pensions would be adjusted in line with inflation and not just paid at the promised 1.5 per cent. He said, "I assure pensioners that in case the October, November and December inflation rate is higher that 1.5 percent, their pensions will be adjusted in line with the inflation rate." (EvZ, 8 November 2000)
Isârescu's statement followed criticisms that this was an electoral action. He continued by claiming that the problems facing pensioners were a result of decisions of previous governments. Some allowed mass early retirement and so created a situation where 4.5 million employed people were being required to support six million recipients of a state retirement pension.
The Members of the Chamber of Deputies also considered pensions this week. They took the opportunity to pass an emergency order, which amended the law on members' pay. Their decision was that retired members of parliament should receive as a pension 70 per cent of the average wage of elected members.
And finally action...
500 coal miners from five mines in the Jiu Valley downed tools on Friday and gathered outside the National Pit Coal Company Headquarters (CNH). The miners are demanding a 40 per cent pay rise and the dismissal of their Trade Union representatives. The miners believe that their representatives are not representing their interests.
Ion Iliescu informally met the foreign press this week. International concerns that Romania might return to a neo-Communist regime under Iliescu were not calmed, as he said, "We are not being ordered around by the IMF (International Monetary Fund), the World Bank or the European Union."

Transaction Pool flooding and possible solutions (e.g. Throttling) #1313
The issue with the transaction posting endpoints getting slower over time is related to general performance of the node. It basically boils down to performance degradation of a node if it gets spammed which is caused by more CPU getting used which in turn results in the crypto operations like verification of transactions slowing down of which the end-result is a long response time.
For now we changed the default config to allow less transactions per request (2349439) which helps the issue but is just a bandaid. Another solution is throttling, even on the P2P layer, which can be touchy.


Falkirk-based four piece The Nickajack Men, present their undeniable energy and authentic approach to alt-country rock, with debut EP ‘Wasting Away’, due for release on 26th May via NJM Records.
Please introduce yourselves to our readers?
We are The Nickajack Men a four piece alternative/country rock band from a small town called Falkirk. The band consists of lead singer and guitarist Lewis White (22), Lead guitar and backing vocals Michael Garner (19), Bass guitar Jamie Burns (22) and on drums Matthew McAllister (22). We have been a band for just over two years and have been gigging profusely since forming.
How did you guys meet?
Lewis, Matthew and Jamie all grew up together and had played in bands together a few years before starting The Nickajack Men. Lewis and myself ended up at a house party together and someone brought out a guitar and from them on we all got together and starting playing together!
What’s your new EP ‘Wasting Away’ all about?
Our debut EP ‘Wasting Away’ came from the fact that we were all longing to get away from having to work 8 hours a day, in jobs that are mind numbing and that were creating no ambition for us. Basically escapism. It feels like we are just wasting away in jobs we don’t like.
Your latest track ‘Marilyn’ sounds like it could almost be Oasis if Oasis went country. Was this intentional?
When I first wrote Marilyn it was my intention to have a chorus that would make people at our gigs want to join in on. It’s a good feeling seeing the audience shout out your song back to you and it seemed to have done the trick. We’ve always been strongly influenced by country music so when the song all came together with the band, the country melodies sort of shined through.
You seem to combine a lot of genres on your EP, who are your biggest influences as a band?
The four of us are all influenced by different genres individually but artists that inspire us collectively would be bands like The War on drugs, Delta Spirit, The Districts and Alabama Shakes. This EP is sort of a blend of genres ranging from more modern country rock with a hint of gospel.
Any gigs coming up?
Our next gig is in our hometown of Falkirk at BTW on the 29th of April, then we’ll be heading back to King Tuts in Glasgow for a release show for the EP on the 24th of June.
Where’s been your favourite place to perform so far?
Our first sold out show at tuts was incredible and its always great playing there, but we played a sold out show at Stereo to release our second single “Hurricane” and it was mental. Certainly a night to remember
What are your plans for the rest of 2017?
After the King Tuts show we will be playing a couple of Festivals and planning a small tour and heading over to Ireland for a couple shows.

Objective: To determine factors associated with work in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS).
Methods: Three hundred fifteen patients with AS were enrolled in a 24-week, randomized controlled study of adalimumab with a longterm, open-label, adalimumab extension phase. Patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures included the Medical Outcome Study Short Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36), AS Quality of Life Questionnaire (ASQOL), Health Utilities Index Mark 3 (HUI-3), and Work Productivity and Activity Impairment-Specific Health Problem Questionnaire (WPAI-SHP). Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze differences between working and nonworking patients. The relationships between PRO and WPAI-SHP scores were assessed using Pearson correlation coefficients. Multivariate modeling was applied to determine factors associated with productivity while at work. WPAI-SHP was assessed through 3 years of adalimumab exposure.
Results: Younger age (p = 0.002) and male sex (p < 0.001) were significantly and independently associated with working patients with AS. The SF-36 Physical Component Summary score (p < 0.001), ASQOL score (p < 0.001), HUI-3 scores (p < 0.001), and both patient's global assessment of disease activity (p < 0.001) and nocturnal pain (p < 0.001) scores were independently associated with working status. Work absenteeism due to AS was weakly correlated with all PRO scores. WPAI-SHP components of work presenteeism (lack of productivity at work), activity impairment, and overall work productivity loss due to AS were moderately correlated with quality of life as measured by the ASQOL, the SF-36 Physical Component Summary score, and the SF-36 Bodily Pain domain. Linear multivariate analyses indicated that work presenteeism was significantly associated with pain, functioning, and disease activity. Longterm adalimumab treatment was associated with sustained improvements in WPAI-SHP scores.
Conclusions: Quality of life and the physical consequences associated with AS have a direct relationship with a patient's ability to work. Adalimumab sustains improvements in work outcomes in patients with AS.
