A Hostile Environment
The UK has one of the highest populations of irregular migrants, those without documents or leave to remain, of any European country. The exact number is not known, as the last research on the subject was a report from London School of Economics in 2007. They estimated the population was around 618,000, give or take 200,000.
Of these, most enter the country legally.
"The image of the sort of clandestine man on the back of a lorry coming through Calais, that is a minority," said Saira Grant, chief executive of the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants (JCWI).
The largest group is likely people who have applied for asylum in the UK and have been refused. The Home Office, which handles asylum and immigration issues, encourages people to leave and tries to remove them if they refuse. But many remain anyway.
"[Asylum seekers say] if I have to choose between going back to my own country and sleeping on the street and living in this country and sleeping on the street, I'm going to stay here," said Kate Smart, director of Asylum Welcome, an organization that helps asylum seekers in Oxford.
The high number of irregular migrants remains a popular political topic. The stated policy of the current government is to create a "hostile environment" for irregular migrants to discourage those who might over-stay.
To facilitate this, the government passed the Immigration Act 2014, and another one, the Immigration Act 2016 came into law on May 12. Among other provisions, the 2014 Act created new civil sanctions for employers and landlords who hire or rent to irregular migrants, while the 2015-2016 Bill added criminal penalties for new offenses, such as driving a car as an irregular migrant.
You Don't Even Like Brown Envelopes: The Asylum Process
"We have a proud history of granting asylum to those who need our protection," wrote an unnamed spokesperson in an email from the Home Office. "All asylum claims are considered on their individual merits and in line with the rules—if someone is found not to need the UK's protection, we expect them to leave the country voluntarily and will enforce their departure where they do not."
Grant, however, alleges there is a "culture of disbelief" in the Home Office that focuses on reasons to refuse asylum more than reasons to allow people to stay.
While this is hard to prove, it is true that between 2011 and 2013, only 32 percent of asylum applications were approved during the initial hearing with the Home Office. Of those refused, 28 percent were subsequently granted on appeal. Cases can drag on for months or years and easily run into the thousands of pounds.
For example, John Bosco fled Uganda at the age of 21, after it was announced on the radio that he was gay. He left a banking job to come to the UK with just £600 on him. Bosco received temporary leave to stay in the UK and applied for asylum in 2004, which was turned down. He appealed to a High Court.
The court told Bosco he could file a fresh claim, which he did. The Home Office turned him down. He worked back up to the High Court, which ruled he could file a fresh application. He did, and was refused again.
"You reach a point that you don't even like brown envelopes," said Bosco. "I go to court, the next thing you see is a brown envelope—you think this is a rejection. You know? And then you read it and see it's a refusal, and you have to do another [application]."
As Bosco's case continued to bounce from the High Court to the Home Office for the next four years, he lost his legal aid from the government to pay for a lawyer. "I think from 2003 to 2008 I had to spend over £20,000 [$30,000] on lawyers," said Bosco. Eventually, he missed a deadline to apply for asylum, and he was detained and deported, although he later received leave to come back to the UK.
Earlier this year Bosco obtained British citizenship, and he now volunteers as the treasurer of Friends Without Borders, one of the organizations that advocated for him while he was in detention.
A Fearful Consequence: Life as an Irregular Migrant
When an asylum claim is turned down and all appeal routes are exhausted, migrants are encouraged to leave on their own. Those who do not may be deported, but many are not.
In 2014, around 20 percent of asylum seekers had been refused and not removed, while deportations and voluntary departures together accounted for only 19 percent.
Not all people who lose their right to remain can be legally removed, because of medical conditions, or because their country will not take them back, but they are not granted legal status.
"So they're here, they can't work, they can't access any benefits, now, under the new act , they can't rent, they can't drive, they can't open a bank account," said Grant. "But they are in your country and you can't remove them."
Asylum seekers in this situation receive limited assistance from the government, called Section 4 support. This support, only available to those who can prove they are destitute, includes lodging and a card with £35.39 per week, or roughly $50. In 2013, fewer than 5,000 people received this support.
Section 4 recipients have to move wherever they are placed, even if it is outside a community where they have been living. Rather than leaving a place where they may have developed friendships and perhaps even some odd jobs, many choose instead to stay where they are and go underground.
"[What does life as an irregular migrant look like?] It looks like people living for long periods on very small amounts of money, fearing arrest, having to sofa-surf or sleep outside," said Michael Woolley, chairman of Friends Without Borders, which helps migrants with legal advice and practical aid in Portsmouth.
Some find work from employers willing to risk the sanctions, often through contacts in their ethnic community. They may be able to sublet housing, or stay with a family. But the pay may be less than minimum wage, and the constant fear of deportation makes everyday activities that bring migrants into contact with the police, such as taking the underground, stressful.
"If you're an undocumented migrant who fears persecution then deportation is an extremely fearful consequence," said Professor Alice Bloch from Manchester University, who has recently completed research on irregular migrants. "If you're an undocumented migrant whose come for economic reasons, then the framework of that deportation is a lot less scary."
Mistakes, Inaccuracies and Delays: The Effect of The New Legislation
"Our new immigration bill will ensure people who genuinely need support are able to get it, but send out a very clear message to those who seek to exploit the system that Britain is not a soft touch on asylum," said the Home Office spokesperson.
Some agree that the new bill does fill important gaps, such as criminalizing illegal working.
"Now that's a very important thing to do, and that is because it sends a signal out that the UK is not a place where you can work illegally," said Alanna Thomas, senior researcher for Migration Watch, an organization that advocates for reduced net immigration to the UK.
Outside the issue of working, however, the activities targeted tenancy agreements, driving licenses, bank accounts are not ones that most irregular migrants engage in. "A lot of it is also immigration theater, it's about looking tough, appeasing those who say it's out of control by demonstrating your failure to control it, because that's somehow supposed to make them feel better," said Alison Harvey, legal director of the Immigration Law Practitioners Association, an organization of lawyers who try and insure a just immigration system. "An immigration bill is not, for the most part, about the issues it's addressing."
Based partly on evidence from the JCWI that the 2014 Act did little to control immigration and, in fact, caused discrimination against legal immigrants looking to rent, opposition parties refused to support the bill.
"The hostile environment does nothing to reduce net migration," said Andrew Smith, Labour Party MP for Oxford East, in an email interview. "I see Home Office mistakes, inaccuracies and delays every single day—it is this area which should be targeted for improvement and reduction." Other Labour, SNP and Conservative MP's did not respond to requests for an interview.
Given that the Home Office is already unable to remove a large number of people, some are skeptical that any legislation will be helpful without increasing enforcement resources.
"The government is committed to public spending cuts and the government is committed to improving immigration border control," said Franck Duvell, a researcher with Oxford University's Centre on Migration, Policy and Society. "So how can they achieve more with less money and less staff?"
In the meantime, it is unlikely that numbers of irregular migrants will be reduced substantially, or that other migrants will be discouraged from attempting to come to the UK.
"People who is in Calais, now, if you go to them and say, 'Ok, the Home Office will allow you to cross to the UK, but you're not allowed to drive for five years, you're not allowed have a bank account for five years, and you're going to live in a hostel for five years,' they're going to say, 'Ok, we'll accept it, we just need to cross,'" said Tony, a Syrian asylum seeker who asked that his real name not be used for reasons of privacy. "So when you are in this situation, you won't think about these kind of things."

This is a essentially a follow-up to his previous Open PStore project that was first announced a few months back.
To quote, roughly translated: "As you know long ago our community was proposed in the Open PStore, a project which I unlink seeing the little / no care of their visual system, that is why we see this new project, I felt comfortable visual menu and care of every detail.
The organization is a remarkable point, the refresh rate and speed of access of content make this new system quick and easy way to have the latest without having to upgrade to 3.50.
We also have to say for the moment only has demos of retail games, not homebrew, so it is still that... a copy of Sony's PSN."

Syria Makes First Withdrawal From Arctic Doomsday Seed Vault
The Svalbard Global Seed Vault is the world’s insurance against worst case scenarios. Since the seed vault opened in the far north of Norway in 2008, hundreds of thousands of seeds have been deposited into the facility situated in the Arctic wilderness, a rainy day fund for the world’s food supply. And it turns out that one country already needs to make a withdrawal.
The seeds are a backup copy of crops around the globe, so that if something truly terrible happens in the future, like disease, drought, or war, a country can rebuild its food supply. For Syria, that unfortunate future is now. The civil war there has devastated the country, causing refugees to flee towards Europe in the thousands. The country’s infrastructure is unstable at best, and its own seed bank was forced to leave the country to prevent it from being utterly destroyed.
The director of Syria’s seed bank program, the International Centre for Agricultural Research in Dry Areas (ICARDA), managed to get many of the country’s seeds out of the country, moving them out of Aleppo, Syria, and into Beiruit, Lebanon back in 2012, as armed forces started to move in. They then sent the seeds to Turkey, Lebanon, and the Svalbard seed bank for safety. But they still need more seeds to re-establish crops lost during the war, and continue research. Now, they’ve requested the return of 130 boxes (116,000 seeds) from the Svalbard location.
Sylvi Listhaug, the Norwegian Minister of Agriculture and Food told Norwegian newspaper VG that the Syrian group wants some of the seeds back in order to plant and harvest in the fall. Seeds from those plants will then be returned back to Svalbar. Listhaug said that the seeds “will be sent to other countries in the Middle East, since Syria is still affected by war, but for security reasons we will not say where.”
Earlier this year, as plans for the seed withdrawal were being drawn up, the creator of the Svalbard seed bank, Cary Fowler told the Australian news company ABC that the Syrian seed bank would likely be re-established in Morocco or Lebanon.

Written by Durganand Balsavar
Over the last few years, architects have begun to reflect on their praxis and share insights on the nature of projects. These publications are essential in the context of a rapidly transforming social and economic context. The impact of the industrial revolution over the last two centuries has also begun to have an adverse influence on the environment, as cities experience natural calamities such as floods, heavy rains and pollution. It calls for a renewed ecological consciousness, among architects, designers and patrons to explore a more holistic approach to design and construction.
Biome Diaries is a set of three publications about the people, projects, and processes at Biome Environmental Solutions (formerly Chitra Vishwanath Architects) that have consistently pursued an integrated exploration of an ecological consciousness in the design and building of human habitat. The set consists of three hardbound diaries of A5 size, namely “Then”, “Now” and “Emergence”.
The anthology of essays, recording the last three decades of practice of this Bengaluru firm, documents a diverse set of typologies, indicating the timeframes. The projects weren’t limited to architecture, but extended to significant issues in addressing water ecologies and energy management as well.
It is of particular interest that the anthology strives to record design processes to understand approaches to ecological design, in a narrative form, that is communicable and complemented with illustrations. These approaches narrate the team’s varied experiences, through their initiatives, insights and achievements.
The diaries have a plurality of voices, with different authors writing about their experiences and perception of design. The text is richly complemented with drawings, photographs, sketches, poetry and diagrams. The voices range from architects, patrons, a contractor and several others engaged with the built environment. The contributing architects are RJ Vasavada, Rahul Mehrotra, Gautam Bhatia, Khushru Irani, Soumitro Ghosh, Falguni Desai, Vivek Muthuramalingam, Vidushi Gupta.
And construction methods are illustrated through comics rather than construction drawings alone. These drawings and comics are done by in-office talents.
The dialogue on ecological approaches to architecture, at the moment, is incomplete and hence there is a need for references, with a sense of urgency. The diaries are a reflection of collaborative multi-disciplinary processes that are anchored in pragmatic, well-informed decisions. The city of Bengaluru, is the context of the practice.
The projects and initiatives of Biome, thus respond to the crises that the city has faced. However, the striving was to think afresh of an architecture that shapes ecosystems within an urban context. Biome’s work consists of several homes, of different character and many scales. It was the homes designed on tight budgets on small sites that became the sites to explore ecological architecture and then extend those ideas to larger sites.
The editorial team consists of Chitra Vishwanath, Sharath Nayak, Anurag Tamhankar and Ishita Shah. As the editorial note suggests, “the journey of mainstreaming ecological practices in architecture and alternative ways has been constantly supported by artistic collaborations, legal expertise, community-bases engagements and systematization of the design practice.
The first diary in the series titled “NOW” highlights key approaches to sensitive design, critical research in construction practices and recent projects. Mehrotra identifies the emergence of Biome, with the transformation of Bengaluru, from a small town to the frenetic metropolis it is today. By building in urban peripheries, Biome had to confront the rural hinterlands, which shaped its ecological approach to architecture. In such a context of the Indian city, the contributions of Biome are significant. The illustrated essay by Sidharth Achaya discusses the role of design thinking.
Water conservation expert Vishwanath Srikantaiah describes “biomes” as distinct biological communities that are formed in response to a shared physical climate. “Is it important for architecture to respond to a biome?” In a context where society today is confronted largely by social and environmental challenges, responding positively to biomes could address many of the ills of urbanisation.
The second diary titled “THEN” reminisces the past and the beginnings of Biome’s practice, when Bengaluru was a relatively small town. Vishwanath shares experiences that recap the initial intentions and imagination of the first decade. Some of the essays refer to what is lost in the transformation of the city and the new challenges to design ecologically in a fast-growing city. Essays on the practices of conserving groundwater, recycling waste water and conserving energy complement the pursuit of an ecological approach to design.
The third diary titled “EMERGENT” addresses the uncertainties of the future with an emphasis on thinking collectively. The discussions on new forms of ecological construction practices and recycling kitchen waste attempt to chart alternative ways to address future challenges. The essays delve into architects’ social responsibility and community’s aspirations.
Vasavada’s essay examines the practices of salvaging old building materials as a testimony, and of eco-sustenance. It highlights the over-exploitation of natural materials (sand, timber, stone) and suggests rediscovering the wisdom of salvaging and optimising our built environment to resonate with traditional building practices. Irani recalls visiting some of the homes Vishwanath and Biome designed and observing the authenticity of Chitra and Vishwanath’s own home to embody an ecological living. It’s in this context that Biome Diaries is of relevance to university students, architects, and those interested in the built environment.

Title: Limoncello Yellow
Author: Traci Andrighetti
Genre/Audience: Cozy mystery, adult
Publication: Gemma Halliday Publishing, 2014
Source: For review, CLP Tours
Review by Kim
This is the first in a new series (I hope!) about Franki Amato. She was a rookie cop in Austin, Texas, until she finds her boyfriend cheating on her with a German female wrestler. She decides to make a clean break and join her friend, Veronica, in New Orleans, where she becomes a private detective. She gets put on a case to help a man accused of his girlfriend’s murder clear his name. To say he is not a pleasant man is putting it mildly. Along the way, she tries to avoid her meddling grandmother’s horrible matchmaking attempts and escape a curse put on her by the local voodoo priestess, all the while trying to get a date with the handsome bank manager.
This was a really fun, laugh out loud book. It was also a great mystery, as it had me guessing the whole time and I had a hard time cracking the mystery. I loved the fun setting and the fast pace of the story. If you enjoy the Stephanie Plum books by Janet Evanovich, this would be right up your alley! I highly recommend it, and I am really hoping this will be a continued series. I will anxiously await the next book in this fun new series!
My Rating: 4/5

It seems Lamborghini may release a future grand tourer at the forthcoming Geneva Motor Show as well as a latest Aventador edition billed as the firm’s best model ever.
As per a fresh report, the company is making plans for a separate concept vehicle the upcoming Geneva Motor Show.
Citing the auto manufacturer’s chief executive officer (CEO), Stephan Winkelmann, the concept will boast the company’s V-12 engine however it would not be based on the Aventador’s mid-engine podium.
In its place, the engine is likely to be mounted up front. The concept will still carry 2 doors and 2 seats, entailing it’s expected to be a sporty new GT vehicle like Aston Martin’s Vanquish and Ferrari’s F12 Berlinetta.
The motor vehicle could perhaps boast a version of the MSB platform being set up for the next-gen Porsche Panamera that is also likely to generate its personal two-door car similar to the original 928.
This goes with Winkelmann’s earlier remarks that the company was making plans for a “one-off” car in order to commemorate its fiftieth anniversary in the year 2013.
The new Aventador edition, also due at Geneva, will be developed in restricted numbers.
The company has also stated formerly that it only builds up concepts for cars it has the aim of fabricating, though concluding support always comes down to its parent firm.
Stephan added that the new idea is not an option to the Urus, and that everybody at the firm is still eager to make the sport utility vehicle. Construction proposals for the Urus have been held up as administration takes its time to settle on whether to grant it the authorization.
If bagged approval by Volkswagen, the Urus is likely to carry a price label between $190,000 and $250,000.
“We would require to market between 3,000 to 4,000 models per year for the Urus to validate its financial investment, and I’m sure that we could perform that. It is a conclusion they (the Volkswagen panel) will, I hope, make very shortly”, stated the firm’s chief executive officer.
Keep watching the space for more updates.


"I guess I never thought of 23 as middle-aged."
Rick Stoddard spoke those words into a camera for a television commercial in 2000. The commercial told the story of his wife, Marie's, death due to lung cancer through snapshots and his own words. "She died from smoking cigarettes."
Clay City Jr/Sr High School, North Clay Middle School and Northview High School students recently watched the complete series of TV announcements Stoddard made.
"I'm here because I am totally convinced that you are the generation that will make a difference," Stoddard said. "I'm not a public speaker. I'm just a carpenter. A redneck from the south that likes motorcycles and pickup trucks. And like most of my friends, I started smoking when I was 12. I used to think that cancer happened to someone else."
He told of his own experience with cigarettes, how he met his wife and of their life together before and after her diagnosis of cancer. It is a love story filled with humor, and tragedy.
"I shaved off my hair knowing that Marie was going to lose hers because of the radiation treatments. I thought it would cheer her up, make her laugh," Stoddard said. His wife endured 12 radiation treatments as he stood helpless, holding her hand. "And it was funny, until she began to lose her hair. Standing in my kitchen cutting off the last of my wife's hair with a pair of scissors was terrible."
He still shaves his head.
"When I do it I think of many things," Stoddard said. "I think of Marie. I think of our life together. I remember what she went through because of the tobacco companies. I think of you. Your generation has the opportunity to change the future."
The personal story touches many that hear it because of their own experiences.
"When I was four years old my grandma died of lung cancer," said Kalissa Rader, a 14-year old NCMS eighth-grader. "People need to stop smoking so they'll stop dying. That's what all this is about."
The program was for the students, but the teachers were also affected.
"He just hits the mark," NCMS teacher Russ True said. His family has also been touched by lung cancer. "You just can't help but hear the message."
Stoddard's passionate journey to educate youth and adults on the dangers of cigarette smoking began after his wife's death. The effort to reach just one person about the dangers of smoking has taken him to more than 400 schools across the country. He is on the road 200 days a year, and the travel is a hard burden to bear.
He has spoken to more than 300,000 students.
"I ask myself sometimes how long I can keep doing this, reliving Marie's death three times a day, five days a week," Stoddard said. "But I'll make a deal with you. I won't give up if you at least think about the decision to not smoke."
Stoddard's visit to the three schools was funded by the Clay Coalition for a Smoke Free County and the Indiana Tobacco Prevention and Cessation organization.
"More than 400,000 Americans die yearly from health issues caused by smoking cigarettes," Stoddard said.
He feels that each person in the audience is an extension of his family.
"You belong to me now. I don't want any one of you to die."

Former Block contestant turned radio and TV presenter Andy Sunderland is preparing to dust off his renovation skills after buying his first home in Highton.
The K rock and Channel 9 host saw plenty of potential to work his magic on a “ripper” three-bedroom house near the Barwon River.
Sunderland and girlfriend Lou Conheady beat two other bidders for the keys to the property at auction on Saturday.
It sold under the hammer for $657,000.
Sunderland, a former primary school teacher who appeared on The Block in 2016 with mate Ben Toyne, now hosts a Geelong radio show and kids television game show SMASHDOWN.
He and Ms Conheady have been trying to break into the Geelong market for two years but kept getting outbid at auction.
He said their change of fortunes would come as a huge relief to his builder from The Block, Trent Comelli of Trenic, who could finally get his weekends back after inspecting every prospective purchase.
“We have put in offers and always just fell short, this time it just worked,” he said.
“A lot of people from Melbourne were coming down as well and we found they were going to auctions and buying things for $80,000 over reserve,” he said.
“We thought ‘how are we ever going to get in?’ but we just got into the market and it’s a ripper.
“It’s got unreal views over Geelong but it still needs a fair bit of work.”
More from news
The house offers duel living zones with a treetop aspect, a deck for outdoor entertaining and a two-way bathroom off the main bedroom.
The original 1980s interior is set for a full renovation, starting with the slate-tiled kitchen, but the pair are in no rush.
Sunderland, who was “not handy to say the least” when he entered The Block, said he had picked up knowledge working with Mr Comelli but would still leave the bulk of the renovation to the experts.
McGrath, Geelong listing agent David McGuinness said the location and views drove competition from two other first-home buyers for the Highton property.
“Outside there is quite a lot of work to do with retaining walls but the house is solid,” Mr McGuinness said.
“The location and the views were exceptional.”

The standoff, which first affected water supply to some areas, has now spilled over into electricity, with municipal electricians on standby failing to respond to calls as several substations went offline.
The power outages caused havoc, with angry Helenvale residents lobbing stones in frustration at passing cars in Stanford Road on Saturday. Read more

No amount of money in this world can ever buy the value of honesty. No matter what situation we may be in, it always is a must, to be honest.
That is exactly what was exemplified by this man named Rome Punla when he returned a lost wallet!
Clara recalls that they, along with her family visited the home of her parents-in-law when she noticed that her phone kept ringing. At first, she just shook it off as it might be just another random call as the number is unregistered on her phonebook.
It was then that she found out that Rome Punla, the honest man who got her lost wallet is the person calling her. Clara was not even aware that she already lost her wallet during that time and was very thankful that it was Rome who found it.
When the two met, Clara offered a little amount of cash as a reward for the good deed Rome has done but he refused to receive it saying that his only intention is to help. The contents of Clara’s wallet were also intact, even the PIN of her ATM which can be found when you open her wallet was left untouched.
What touched Clara, even more, is when she knew that Rome’s wife is confined in a hospital. Despite the difficult time he is going through, he still chose to do good because that is his life principle.
Then, it was as if some sort of miracle happened. When Rome went back to the hospital that afternoon, his wife’s condition has become better and she can even get up on her own.
It truly is amazing how God can repay kindness in ways we never expect. So, may this be a lesson to everyone to never doubt to do the good thing because everything pays back in the end.

It was long believed that the gaming industry was a “perfect place” to go and work because all you were doing is “making games”, but we all know now that this isn’t the case all the time. From the dreaded “work crunch” that has haunted many companies, including top-tier ones like Naughty Dog, to mistreatment in the workplace, inequality in terms of hiring and pay, not getting credits for games you work on and more. And the ongoing issues with Activision Blizzard in terms of how their employees are being treated continues to showcase this.
Just over the last few months, there have been protests, mass departures, and major players from Activision Blizzard leaving the company. And other companies are weighing in on what’s happening as well, including Doug Bowser of Nintendo, who sent out an internal email that was found and posted online. It reads
“Along with all of you, I’ve been following the latest developments with Activision Blizzard and the ongoing reports of sexual harassment and toxicity at the company. I find these accounts distressing and disturbing. They run counter to my values as well as Nintendo’s beliefs, values and policies.”
“Every company in the industry must create an environment where everyone is respected and treated as equals, and where all understand the consequences of not doing so.”
It’s good to see Nintendo taking a stand and saying it will never do things like this to their workers, and hopefully more companies will reveal similar thoughts in the times to come.

A heavily-pregnant nurse was sent home by midwives and told to take painkillers – just days before she lost her baby boy.
Lekha James, 34, who was almost full-term, says she knew she had a urinary tract infection but a doctor and midwives at St Mary’s Hospital in Manchester refused to listen.
Instead, they sent her home and told her to take the painkiller cocodamol – but three days later she slipped into unconsciousness and her baby was found to have died.
Central Manchester University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, which runs St Mary’s, has now admitted negligence led to baby Aidan’s death – with an investigation exposing a ‘staff attitude problem’ and inadequate clinical assessment.
Lekha and her husband Santhosh Mathew, 39, say they hope lessons will be learned from the tragedy.
Despite running tests, a doctor and three midwives failed to spot the signs of a urinary tract infection, dismissing Lekha’s acute abdominal pain as a sign of early labour.
Three days later, she was lost consciousness and was rushed back to the MRI by ambulance.
Doctors then discovered an E-coli infection, and no heartbeat could be found for baby Aidan – who was due to have been born just a few days later.
Instead, Lekha, from Gorton, had to be induced to give birth to him and a funeral had to be arranged by the hospital.
Lekha, a nurse in the cardiology department at MRI who also qualified as a midwife in India, said: “The doctor and nurse at St Mary’s should have listened to what I was telling them – as a nurse myself I would never ignore what a patient tells me.
“I knew I had an UTI but they weren’t listening, talking over us as if we were illiterate people.
“After three days taking cocodamol, the pain was no better and then I got seriously ill. It was only when I was semi-conscious in labour I realised what had happened – it has been incredibly stressful and sad. We now have another son, but nothing can replace our baby who died.”
Dad Santhosh, who also works at the MRI as a catering supervisor, said: “We cannot describe the pain we have been through, we just want to make sure this never happens to anyone else.”
Santhosh and Lekha are now pursuing a claim of compensation against the Trust and have also submitted a formal complaint to the Nursing and Midwifery Council.
Beth Reay, from JMW Solicitors, representing the couple, said: “There appeared to be a culture amongst staff that allowed them to ignore some quite basic clinical factors which has lead to the death of their son.”
A spokesman for the Trust said: “Unfortunately, as this is an ongoing legal case we are unable to confirm any details.”

August 2, 2010
– Chesapeake Lodging Trust (NYSE:CHSP - News) announced today that it has entered into a credit agreement to obtain a $115 million, two-year secured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks. The facility is led by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as syndication agent. The amount that the Company can borrow under the revolving credit facility is based on the value of the Company’s hotel properties included in the borrowing base, as defined in the credit agreement. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest equal to LIBOR, plus 3.75%, subject to a LIBOR floor of 2.00%. The credit agreement contains standard financial covenants, including certain leverage ratios, coverage ratios, and a minimum tangible net worth requirement. Subject to certain conditions, the facility allows for a one-year extension.
The Company also announced that it has closed on the previously announced acquisitions of the 153-room Courtyard Anaheim at Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California for a purchase price of $25.0 million, or approximately $163,000 per key, and the 430-room Boston Marriott Newton in Newton, Massachusetts for a purchase price of $77.25 million, or approximately $180,000 per key. The Company entered into an agreement with Tarsadia Hotels to operate the Courtyard Anaheim at Disneyland Resort under the Courtyard by Marriott flag and entered into an agreement with TPG Hospitality, Inc. to operate the Boston Marriott Newton under the Marriott flag. The Courtyard Anaheim at Disneyland Resort and Boston Marriott Newton acquisitions were funded by a $105 million borrowing under the Company’s revolving credit facility. More information will be provided on these two hotel properties on the Company’s second quarter earnings conference call scheduled for 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday, August 4, 2010.
Chesapeake Lodging Trust is a self-advised lodging real estate investment trust (REIT) focused on investments primarily in upper-upscale hotels in major business, airport and convention markets and, on a selective basis, premium select-service hotels in urban settings or unique locations in the United States. The Company owns four hotel properties with an aggregate of 1,269 rooms in two states. Additional information can be found on the Company’s website at www.chesapeakelodgingtrust.com.

Magoo’s Unique Gifts sells a variety of vintage-style decorative items, from nautical themed brass doorknockers to cast iron key hooks and plenty in between. They had previously only sold their products on larger online marketplace platforms and wanted to open a web store of their own. We designed a website with ecommerce features that allow Magoo’s to sell their products directly from their own online shop. We also designed a new logo to help them create a stronger brand identity.
In designing the logo for Magoo’s Unique Gifts, we aimed to create something that stood out and made sense for their business. As our designs progressed, we took out smaller details to make the logo more easily readable. The final product uses a typeface that makes you think vintage, which aligns with the products they sell and the brand identity they are trying to create. Magoo’s new logo is eye-catching and sparks curiosity, much like the gifts they sell.
Magoo’s Unique Gifts was in need of an online store that could categorize and showcase their many products. We designed a simple ecommerce website that organizes their products into categories and makes it easy for visitors to find and purchase the perfect gift.

Categories: Victory News Local commissioner and Michigan drain attorney speak in support of legislationState Rep. Roger Victory, center, is joined today by Ottawa County Drain Commissioner Joe Bush, right, and Stacy Hissong, legal Counsel for Michigan Association of County Drain Commissioners, to speak in support of legislation before the House of Local Government Committee 23Mar Rep. Victory bill supported by Ottawa County officials State Rep. Roger Victory of Hudsonville today was joined by Ottawa County Drain Commissioner Joe Bush and Stacy Hissong, legal Counsel for Michigan Association of County Drain Commissioners. Both testified in support of Victory’s bill to allow a municipality to petition to add or remove land from an original drainage district that results in boundary line changes.“This bill is a simple solution that allows for fair and accurate drain fees,” Victory said. “The drain commissioners will hold a public hearing through the community and will vote.”Current law allows one municipality to request the creation of an intercountry district. This bill adds another avenue for adding or removing land that results in an intercountry drainage district or the removal of a county without requiring an onerous process to determine the correct number of property owner signatures.House Bill 4286 remains under consideration by the House Local Government Committee.###
Entone CEO, Steve McKaySet top box maker and internet TV technology provider, Amino, has agreed to buy cloud TV firm Entone for a total price of US$73 million (€67 million).UK-based Amino said the deal marked the consolidation of a direct competitor and that the agreement will increase its global footprint and scale, with US-based Entone claiming 150-plus global customers.Amino is a provider of digital entertainment solutions for IPTV, OTT and in-home multimedia distribution, while Entone is a provider of broadcast hybrid TV and connected home solutions.The takeover will see Amino buy the entire issued share capital of Entone for an initial cash consideration of $65.0 million, and a deferred consideration of US$8 million – to be paid in two instalments a year and two years after the deal closes.“The proposed acquisition of Entone has the potential to transform our business and broaden our capabilities and market reach globally across IPTV, hybrid broadcast and a range of connected home solutions,” said Amino CEO Donald McGarva.He claimed that the deal also aligns closely with Amino’s recent acquisition of Finland-based cloud TV platform provider, Booxmedia, which was agreed for €7.9 million in May.“We anticipate a number of synergies between the two companies and expect the proposed acquisition to be earnings enhancing in the first full year of combined operations,” said McGarva.Entone CEO Steve McKay added that Amino and Entone’s solutions are “highly complementary” and that together the firms will create a “significant new presence in the pay TV market.”“We share a very similar vision as to how our industry is changing and the kinds of solutions that are required to address both existing and new customers,” said McKay.The news came as Amino reported first half revenue, for the six months ended May 31, of £17.9 million – up 9% year-on-year. Gross profit was up 23% over the same period to £9.1 million.The Entone deal is expected to close in the third quarter of 2015, subject to customary closing conditions and approvals.
DFIDurkan secures HGV survey for EglintonhaulageMark H DurkanroadsSDLPsurvey The Foyle MLA said: “I am delighted that DfI Roads have today, acknowledged the need for an updated review on the volume of HGVs travelling through Eglinton Village.“Myself and indeed other local activists, have put pressure on the department to address the significant increase in HGVs using the Woodvale Road and the detrimental impact this is having on the surrounding area. “Not only in regard to road safety but also the deterioration of the road itself; including a considerable rise in the number of potholes.“I was told that on the basis of figures obtained from outdated surveys, that implementing HGV restrictions similar to those applied in Hillsborough, were unjustifiable. SDLP Mark H Durkan, has secured a survey to establish HGV traffic volumes passing through Eglinton Village, following concerns from local residents.Mr Durkan had written to DfI on a number of occasions to request the restriction of HGV use in the area given the deterioration of the road network. This was denied on the basis of HGV count findings carried out on the Woodvale Road in 2013 and 2018 respectively. “However, at the time of these surveys the problem was not as pronounced as it is now. “Particularly over the last few months, the volume of HGVs travelling through Eglinton Village has risen dramatically- owed to the fact that drivers had taken this route as means of a diversion during roadworks on the dual carriageway; many have since continued to use this shortcut.“I am hopeful that once this survey is carried out and current figures ascertained, that the restriction of HGV traffic in the area will then be reviewed,” added the former Stormont Minister.Durkan secures HGV survey for Eglinton was last modified: June 26th, 2019 by John2John2 Tags: ShareTweet

10 Places to Find Ancient Petroglyphs in Colorado
Petroglyphs are fascinating pieces of history, that allow humans in modern times to get a glimpse at what life was like hundreds and thousands of years ago. These ancient rock relics can be found all over the world, appearing mostly on the sides of cliffs or on the walls of caves.
The deeply carved grooves form intricate designs that often depict images of hunting, gathering, and daily life in archaic and formative periods. Differing from pictographs, which were painted onto surfaces, petroglyphs were carved or scratched, into the rocks.
Colorado has a significant amount of rock art that's been categorized into four different time periods: Archaic, Formative, Protohistoric, and Historic.

New York Post: Antifa thugs "from Seattle group “Riot Kitchen” were arrested in Kenosha, Wisconsin, after they filled up multiple gas cans, prompting law enforcement officials in unmarked cars to take them into custody, according to police and video footage.
"Helmets, gas masks, protective vests, illegal fireworks and “suspected controlled substances” were found inside the two vehicles. In all, 9 people were arrested on disorderly conduct charges, police said."
Their GoFundMe page is still up.

- Ohio Express
Ohio Express Origin Ohio, United States Years active 1966–1970, 1973, 1980s, 2003–present Website marstalent.com
Ohio Express was a musical recording unit, mainly active from 1967 through 1970, and occasionally since that time.
Though marketed as a band, it would be more accurate to say that the name "Ohio Express" served as a brand name used by Jerry Kasenetz's and Jeffrey Katz's Super K Productions to release the music of a number of different musicians and acts. The best known songs of Ohio Express (including their best scoring single, "Yummy Yummy Yummy") were actually the work of an assemblage of studio musicians working out of New York, including singer/songwriter Joey Levine.
Several other "Ohio Express" hits were the work of other, unrelated musical groups, including The Rare Breed, and an early incarnation of 10cc. In addition, a completely separate touring version of Ohio Express appeared at all live dates, and recorded some of the band's album tracks.

- 2 Discography

Beginnings: The Rare Breed (1966-67)
The question of who is the 'real' Ohio Express is difficult. The first record credited to Ohio Express was "Beg, Borrow And Steal", a Top 40 hit in the US and Canada in late 1967. However, exactly the same record had initially been issued as by 'The Rare Breed' in early 1966 on Attack Records. This issue was a complete flop, failing to chart.
The Rare Breed issued one more single in 1966 on Attack, "Come And Take A Ride In My Boat", which was a minor chart hit in the US southwest though it failed to chart nationally. The Rare Breed then apparently had a dispute with Super K Productions and left the company, never to record again.
The band's original recording of "Beg, Borrow & Steal" was then re-mixed and re-issued in August 1967 on Cameo Parkway Records, now credited to Ohio Express (a name to which Super K Productions controlled all rights). The record was a number 1 single in Columbus, Ohio by early September, and gradually became a hit across Canada and the US through the following months.
The otherwise exhaustively-annotated Nuggets box set (which includes "Beg, Borrow and Steal") suggests The Rare Breed were from New York or New Jersey, but offers no other data. However, a 2003 interview and a 2009 YouTube post of a performance of "Beg Borrow and Steal" identifies the members of the Rare Breed as John Freno (vocals, guitar) Barry Stolnick (keyboards), Joel Feigenbaum (rhythm guitar), Alexander "Botts" Norbit (bass) and Tony Cambria (drums), all of Brooklyn and The Bronx, New York.
Sir Timothy & The Royals take over (1967)
With no group available to promote the single by playing live dates, Super K Productions hired a Mansfield, Ohio band known as Sir Timothy & The Royals and re-named them The Ohio Express. The lineup consisted of Doug Grassel (rhythm guitar), Dale Powers (lead guitar), Dean Kastran (bass), Jim Pfahler (keyboards), and Tim Corwin (drums). This group toured as Ohio Express, and their touring commitments (and Ohio home base) made it difficult for them to head in to the New York-based Super K offices to record a follow-up single to "Beg Borrow and Steal". Of the "official" group members, only Dale Powers (lead vocals) appeared on the second single credited to Ohio Express, a cover of The Standells' "Try It". The single stalled well outside the US Top 40, peaking at #83.
The group soon after recorded an album called "Beg Borrow and Steal". It mixed the original Rare Breed title track with tracks recorded by the Ohio Express touring group, as well as tracks recorded by the Super K staff musicians with vocals by Powers. The LP came out on Cameo-Parkway Records of Philadelphia in the autumn of 1967. Unfortunately, the record label went into bankruptcy shortly after that and was purchased by music business mogul Allen Klein, who still owns the masters to this day.
(It has been rumored that a young Joe Walsh, later of the James Gang & The Eagles, was part of this band but left after the "Beg Borrow & Steal" LP was recorded. A photograph on the cover of the sole Cameo-Parkway album shows a photo that bears a striking resemblance to Walsh.)
The Joey Levine years (1968-69)
Ohio Express then moved to the home label of bubblegum pop, Buddah Records (purposely misspelled so as not to be sacrilegious). At the same time, Joey Levine (who had co-written "Try It") was coming up with new material for Ohio Express at the behest of Super K Productions. He recorded a demo version of the track "Yummy Yummy Yummy" with Super K staff musicians and his own guide vocal for the Ohio Express to record over. However, Buddah head Neil Bogart liked the demo enough that he released the record "as is", with Levine's vocals intact and no input at all from the touring version of Ohio Express. The song became an international smash hit, peaking at #4 US, #5 UK, #7 Australia, and #1 Canada. Two months after its issue it had sold over one million copies, being granted gold disc status by the R.I.A.A. in June 1968.
The success of the Levine-led "Yummy Yummy Yummy" set a pattern for Ohio Express. They released four LPs and a multitude of singles for Buddah between 1968 and 1970, but the "official" group that appeared on album sleeves and at live shows contributed not a single note to their hit singles. For the year following the release of "Yummy Yummy Yummy", all Ohio Express singles were co-written and sung by Levine, with musical accompaniment by anonymous New York session musicians. Under this arrangement, in 1968 and 1969 the group scored three further top 40 hits in the US, Canada and Australia with "Down at Lulu's", "Chewy Chewy" and "Mercy". "Chew Chewy" was the group's second million seller by March 1969.
There are no known occasions of Levine performing with the actual Ohio quintet, either live or in the studio. The five lads from Ohio, meanwhile, could only be heard on a few of the album tracks. Allegedly, the touring group was not even informed of the existence of "Chewy Chewy", the new single that had come out under their name - and when fans requested it at a live show, they were consequently unable to play it.
"Recycled" tracks (1968-1970)
Super K Productions often recycled tracks from one act to another, issuing exactly the same recording under two different band names. In addition to the Ohio Express hit "Beg, Borrow and Steal" (initially credited to The Rare Breed), fans have noted that various Ohio Express B-sides and album tracks were in fact initially issued and credited to other Super K acts. Examples include the B-side of the "Sausalito" single, "Make Love Not War", which was originally issued as "Road Runner" by The Music Explosion and the 1970 album track "Shake", originally issued as by Kasenetz Katz Super Circus. As well, the B-side to "Yummy Yummy Yummy" was the instrumental track of 1910 Fruitgum Company's "(Poor Old) Mr. Jensen" recorded backwards.
The Post-Levine era (1969-70)
After five straight singles co-written and sung by Joey Levine (four of which made the US and Canadian Top 40), Levine grew dissatisfied with the amount of money he was receiving from his production deal, and left Super K Productions in early 1969. The company then turned to other hands to write, produce and perform Ohio Express singles. The Ohio touring quintet was not among them.
After Levine left, Ohio Express never again made the top 40 in North America, although three 1969 singles made the lower reaches of the US and Canadian singles charts. One later minor hit single, "Sausalito (Is The Place To Go)" was co-written and sung by Graham Gouldman, and performed by the four musicians who would later make up 10cc. Another late single, "Cowboy Convention", sneaked into the Australian top 40, peaking at #38.
By 1970, with the hits having stopped, the group name Ohio Express was quietly retired. (There was a one-shot 1973 Buddah release credited to Ohio Ltd.)

A new touring version of Ohio Express was convened in the 1980s. Today, a lineup led by original drummer Tim Corwin on lead vocals, John Baker lead guitar, Guy Hoffman bass, David Haag on drums, Jeff Burgess Keyboard and Warren Sawyer on rhythm guitar and keyboards tours the oldies circuit with their bubblegum classics. Original keyboardist/vocalist/songwriter Jim Pfahler died in March 2003. Bassist Dean Kastran now plays bass for the Ashland, Ohio based bluegrass band, Faces Made for Radio.

With the Marina Bay waterfront as the backdrop, tall ceilings, sweeping arches, plush silk carpets and well-appointed furniture, there’s no doubt The Clifford Pier is a stunner.
The historic landmark was the first port of call for immigrants in the 1930s. From the 1950s, the car park beside the Pier was transformed into a hawker centre at night. Staying true to the site’s rich history, The Clifford Pier serves reinterpretations of classic Singaporean fare.
The festive afternoon tea ($43), served on a quintessential 3-tier stand, is inspired by distinctively local flavors, curated by Singaporean Cookbook author Shermay Lee. Its inclusive of a choice of one beverage ( Kopi Kosong, Teh Tarik, Air Bundung, English Breakfast tea, Earl Grey Tea, Moroccan Mint Tea, Café Latte, Cappuccino or Espresso) which is refillable. A live pianist serenade diners with his melodies and deep vocals.
The Kurobuta Pork sandwiched between the Kong Bao Bao was flavorful, but a tad too dry and tough. Stuffed with generous chucks of succulent flesh doused in chilli sauce, the Chilli Crab Bao fared much better.
Warm, fluffy Buttermilk and Tropical Fruits Scones sits on the first tier. A variety of condiments are available to accompany the scones- cream cheese, salted butter, berry jam, pineapple jam and kaya. The chilli is meant for the Kueh Pie Tee.
Handcrafted savory treats occupy the second tier, namely Hae Bee Hiam French Toast, Otak Sandwich, Mini Po Piah Wrapped in Handmade Nonya Egg Skin, Kueh Pie Tee, Bak Kwa Jam Sandwich and Nonya Chicken Curry & Roti Jala Wrap.
Dainty sweets include Red Velvet Swiss Roll, Roselle Linzer Cookies, Bundung Macaron, Mixed Fruit Cake and Pear Tart. Most outstanding of all was the pear tart- mildly saccharine pears encased in buttery tart base and glittered with crumble. The bundung macaron deserves a mention too. Textures were spot on-slightly chewy macaron shells with a crisp exterior and creamy rose centre. If only it wasn’t overwhelming sweet.
Overall, we felt that the food only average, but gorgeous ambiance and attentive service made up for it. Festive afternoon tea set will be available until 31st Dec 2014

For the second part of the Newspaper project we were asked to create a publication, relating to part one in topic. I wanted to move away from the drawings I had been making and do something challenging, and outside of the confines of my desk! As I was working with a theme of propaganda it seemed only natural build something in the outside world; something large-scale and dramatic.
I chose to use the words of someone who had a greater understanding on the subject than myself - Jang Jin-Sung, a North Korean who had worked for Kim Il-Sung before successfully fleeing his regime to the south. Few have survived these attempts, and when Jang Jin-Sung succeeded his poetry on the experiences of his homeland became well known throughout South Korea.
This particular poem of his uses light & darkness as a metaphor for hope for the people of North Korea. This, teamed with the knowledge that North Korea is completely black when viewed from a satellite at night due the the economic crisis, led me to design this piece. The type is supposed to seem like a satellite image of a city at night, but it also looks a bit like fireflies - which I quite like because they are mentioned in the poem.
The process... pasting up with the help of my good friend Chris!

Luxembourg—April 3, 2013—Via a recent partnership between CHAMP Cargosystems and Worldwide Information Network (WIN), freight forwarders are now provided with full agent-to-agent e-connectivity; full agent-to-ocean carrier; and starting in June 2013, agent-to-air carrier electronic transmission of all data.
The partnership between WIN and CHAMP’s Traxon cargoHUB connects the largest community of independent forwarders worldwide with the broadest range of airlines. It is a major step forward for small-and-medium-sized forwarders to become e-freight-enabled; support the e-AWB initiative; and further automate processes. It allows the seamless transmission of standardized messages such as MAWBs, HAWBs, status information, availability and booking requests.
Thanks to the integration with Traxon cargoHUB, SME forwarders now have electronic connectivity across the supply chain, according to John DeBenedette, Managing Director of WIN, who spoke on the benefits of the solution to the global air cargo community at the World Cargo Symposium in Doha, Qatar.
“Although small- and medium-sized forwarders offer their customers many advantages over the multinationals, they still lack the sort of IT connectivity their larger competitors take for granted,” he added. “This new connection between WIN and CHAMP’s Traxon cargoHUB levels the playing field and sets the stage for the independents to leap ahead. Users will rapidly benefit from efficiency gains, cost savings and an increase in service quality.”
While global reach is not a problem for SME forwarders who work with partner agents around the world, thanks to global freight forwarding networks, their partners often use completely different freight management systems. Now, all a forwarder needs to do is to get connected to WIN once to allow full connectivity to any other forwarder whatever IT system they use, or even through an easy to use Web interface.
“CHAMP Cargosystems has been at the cutting edge of information exchange within the air cargo community for over 20 years, actively driving and supporting industry change,” said Aike Höfft, Head of Forwarder & Global Distribution Services, CHAMP Cargosystems. “CHAMP’s community integration platform Traxon cargoHUB acts as an open, extendable and rules based ‘industry service bus.’ It simplifies transmission, conversion and distribution of messages and expands the scope of information sharing within the air logistics community.”

The Man Behind No Mas
A story exists behind every story.
Many sports fans know of the first slugfest between Roberto Duran and Sugar Ray Leonard, won by Duran.
Many more know about Duran quitting against Leonard in the second fight in New Orleans, made infamous by the words no mas, which means no more in Spanish.
But many might not know the background of Duran, and why he responded to success and failure the way he did, which is examined effectively in the biopic “Hands of Stone.”
It is often said that poor in America is not poor in less affluent countries like Panama.
It is also often said that the moral superiority that many Americans think they possess is just arrogance and oppression to other countries.
Duran, played by Edgar Ramirez in “Hands of Stone,” had to steal mangos as a child just so his family could eat.
While children his age were learning the three R’s (reading, writing and arithmetic), Duran had to be the man of the house, because his American father ran out on his family.
The future boxing great had to watch as Americans occupied the Panama Canal in his homeland, acting as if they were superior dictators and Panama’s own residents were foreigners in their own country.
That arrogance manifests itself in the form of boxing nemesis Sugar Ray Leonard (Usher), a brash, trash-talking showman inside and outside of the ring.
Duran sees everything he despises in America in Leonard’s personality and he makes it his mission to destroy him in the ring in order to crush any sense of invincibility that Americans might feel.
However, “Hands of Stone” shows the beauty of Americans as Ray Arcel (Robert De Niro) defies his forced retirement to train Duran into a champion for free.
Although Duran was criticized by fellow Panamanians for his actions, the film “Hands of Stone” does a good job of getting into his psyche so that critics will understand why he behaved the way he did in victory and defeat.
“Hands of Stone” stands out more than other boxing biopics like “Ali” because of the attention to detail given to the friendship between Arcel and Duran.
Arcel becomes the father Duran never had, while Duran becomes the son Arcel never had.
“Hands of Stone” does a good job of not glossing over the corruption in boxing and how a few shady characters can ruin the careers of so many talented people.
De Niro is great as always.
Ramirez is great as well.
But R&B singer Usher might surprise a lot of people with his solid portrayal of Leonard.
Although Usher is a lot older than Leonard was around 1980, he captures the charisma of a young Sugar inside and outside of the wrong.
However, filmmaker Jonathan Jakubowicz should have simply casted Mykelti Williamson from “Ali” as boxing promoter Don King and not Reg E. Cathey (“House of Cards” and “The Wire”).
Cathey is a great actor, but does not make a great King.
Nevertheless, “Hands of Stone” is not about King.
The film is about getting to know the real Duran.
As a result of this film, he becomes more real and not just a couple of infamous words.

There was a time, longer ago than most Baby Boomers would care to acknowledge, when Mark Lindsay of Paul Revere and the Raiders was competing with Mick Jagger and Paul McCartney to be pictured on the covers of pop- music magazines.
The handsome Lindsay, with his bangs, pigtail and tri-cornered hat, was not the namesake of the '60s group, as many people mistakenly assume. But as lead vocalist, he became the face of it.
Lindsay, keyboardist Revere and their bandmates dressed in Revolutionary War getups and lip-synced their songs on Dick Clark's "Where the Action Is," but they notched serious record sales and airplay, and they duked it out with the Beatles and Rolling Stones.
Lindsay, 68, is playing music from his Revere days and beyond with other '60s artists, including the Turtles, Grass Roots and Buckinghams, on the Happy Together Tour, which visits Phoenix tonight.
The singer and sax player, who lived in Arizona twice in the past decade, called from his home in Florida to talk about keeping the groovy vibes of that decade alive.
Question: What is it about '60s music that still draws a crowd four decades later?
Answer: I never would have dreamed that rock and roll would have the giant legs that it's had. Every genre of music pretty much had a decade or two of popularity, like ragtime or swing. But rock and roll has lasted longer.
Last week (at a concert), we had the usual suspects - guys our age and their kids. But there also were a lot of unaccompanied teenagers and high-school kids. I guess they learned about the music through the Internet.
Q: Many people don't realize that Paul Revere and the Raiders rivaled the Beatles and Stones as the British Invasion unfolded.
A: I was a big fan of the Beatles and the Stones. I would look in magazines, and there would be McCartney, Jagger, Mark Lindsay and the Monkees. I really saw them differently than I saw myself. I couldn't believe that was really me. I had no problem with the British Invasion; I was listening to it as much as all the fans were.
Q: Is it rewarding or tiring to sing songs like "Kicks," "Just Like Me" and "Indian Reservation" after performing them thousands of times?
A: If it ever gets to be like, "Fifteen more minutes and then I'm out of here," I will totally hang up my rock-and-roll shoes forever. But it's still fun. There's nothing like hearing an audience holler and have a good time.
Q: You've been in and out of the music business in the past few decades.
A: I've hung up my rock-and-roll shoes several times over the years. The first time was in the '80s, but I can only stay off the road for so long and then I get itchy.
Q: What prompted you to become a solo act?
A: It was like marriage, and we were getting kind of tired of each other. For a while, it ceased to be fun; it was like grinding it out the same old way. I'm very spontaneous and . . . Revere is not that way at all, so we butted heads a few times.
When we split, I thought it was all over. We had about 10 good years and 17 Top 40 hits. But lo and behold, with the advent of the CD, it reared its beautiful head and came back again.
Q: You had a solo hit with "Arizona" in 1969. But it's about a person, not the state.
A: It was written by Kenny Young, who also wrote "Silver Bird" (a 1970 Lindsay hit). It's about a girl who came from Arizona with stars in her eyes, wanting to check out the hippie scene in San Francisco. The singer's advice to her is to go back to Arizona and "take off your rainbow shades . . . cut off your Indian braids" and go back to being that small-town girl that you were.
Q: Are there times when you watch some of your '60s counterparts perform and think they should hang it up?
A: Yes, I have seen it occasionally; the names shall remain anonymous.
But actually, it was a great inspiration for me because . . . back in the '60s, I never thought about staying in shape or doing vocal exercises because I was trying to kill myself (by overindulging in the rock lifestyle) like everybody else.
But now, after seeing a few performances by people who weren't on the top of their game, it's made me become pretty serious about vocal exercises, plus I do 200 or 300 sit-ups a day and 4 miles on the treadmill.
As long as I can do a good job, I'll continue. But if I ever get to the point where I can't hit the notes, I will retire permanently.
