Morrissey appeared this week on The Late, Late Show With James Corden, giving a bravura, if clap-happy, performance of his new single, a cover version of ‘Back On The Chain Gang’.
Originally released in 1982 by The Pretenders, written and sung by the indomitable Chrissie Hynde, I’ve always liked this up-tempo melancholic pop song musing wistfully-angrily on the discovery of ‘a picture of you’ that ‘hijacked my world last night’.
But I hadn’t realised until now how… Smithsian it sounds.
So much so, that you think Moz has changed some of the lyrics. But on checking it turns out to be very little, just a pronoun here and there. The most substantial change seems to be:
'In the wretched life of a lonely heart'
'Lonely hearts, lonely hearts'
Morrissey-esque turns of phrase like:
The phone, the TV and the News of the World Got in the house like a pigeon from hell, oh oh oh oh
Or the sun-shines-out-of-our-behinds exhilarating extravagance of:
The powers that be That force us to live like we do Bring me to my knees When I see what they've done to you But I'll die as I stand here today Knowing that deep in my heart They'll fall to ruin one day For making us part
Turn out to be pure Hynde. I just hadn’t listened properly before.
But then it’s probably not a coincidence that The Smiths were formed the same year as this catchy-jangly, bitter-sweet, poetic-dramatic pop song was released.
For the next few days only, Saint Morrissey is available on Kindle for just 99 cents/pence.
I recently got around to watching the video for ‘Spent the Day In Bed’, Morrissey’s first single from his new Low in High School album.
Since writing Saint Morrissey – which was something akin to an exorcism – I’ve taken a somewhat more leisurely approach to the Stretford Bard’s output. Perhaps I’m slightly disappointed that he didn’t have the decency to finally retire incommunicado to Bognor Regis after it was published over a decade ago.
Instead my 58 year-old subject has, very selfishly, continued to tour furiously, put out new albums, as well as open his big Manc mouth and managing to epater les bourgeoisie fairly regularly, getting his name in the papers. I’m positively dreading all the updating I’d have to do for a new edition. Just when you think you’ve pinned and mounted your butterfly….
To make matters worse, ‘Spent The Day in Bed’ is Morrissey’s strongest, catchiest, most lyrical single for years.
Yes, the themes are very familiar – you might almost say… ‘tired’. The lines ‘Spent the day in bed/As the workers stay enslaved’ could be a three decades on sequel to ‘Still Ill’: ‘And if you must go to work tomorrow/Well if I were you I wouldn’t bother…’. And also ‘Nowhere Fast’ of course, with its lying in bed thinking about life and death and discovering ‘neither one particularly appeal to me’.
Morrissey - Spent the Day in Bed (Official Video)
‘Spent the Day in Bed’ and the video are full of lazy intimations of mortality and gallows humour – but this time, a third of a century on, and with recent cancer scares, the gallows looms rather larger. Those sheets for which he’s paid and in which he’s laid could also be winding sheets, just as those pillows are ‘like pillars’.
But why not lie in your bed mausoleum taunting death?
‘Oh time do as I wish/Oh time do as I wish’
And avoiding life. Or at least, the impostor version of it we have to submit to:
‘No bus, no boss, no rain, no train./No emasculation, no castration’
In the video, when he gets to ‘no castration’, I think I detect a flicker of a self-mocking grin.
The video is almost as darkly funny as the lyrics. Morrissey in a Whatever Happened To Baby Jane? wheelchair is trundled into what looks like a dimly-lit 1960s Manchester working men’s club by a smirking, fresh-faced Joey Barton (I’d like to think Moz insisted that he get a shave if he wanted to be in his promo).
Barton, a famous Morrissey fan, is a professional ruffian footballer and tattooed boy from Birkenhead -- well, Huyton if you want to be pedantic. And who wouldn’t want to be wheeled around by him in their dotage? Especially since Bette Davis is no longer available. (Though a passable stand-in does make an appearance later…)
Moz then performs the entire song seated, head tilted backwards, perhaps to catch the little light there is, perhaps to stretch out his 58-year-old neck, while his band perform on their feet around him – finally falling off his chair and out of shot at the end. A reminder that:
‘Life ends in death/So, there’s nothing wrong with/Being good to yourself/Be good to yourself for once!’
Life ends in death, so pamper yourself. By rehearsing it.
But it is the dreamy ‘Oh time do as I wish’ interlude in the video which is the main reason I’m writing this post. I almost fell off my chair when my old chum the performance artist David Hoyle suddenly appeared onstage at this point doing some sexy dancing with something shimmy. Watched avidly by Morrissey and Joey Barton, the latter hungrily popping peanuts into his mouth.
David, someone I got to know in the early 80s in London when we were both teenage runaways to Sodom-on-Thames, now lives in Manchester but grew up in Blackpool – where as a teenager he performed Shirley Bassey numbers in working men’s clubs, rather like the one in the video.
Hoyle and Morrissey have a lot in common – both northern, scornful, working class poet-prophets of the absurdity of desire, both determined not to keep the customer satisfied, and both keeping on keeping on, though one rather closer to the breadline than the other. It’s about time they got together.
And in fact much of the sentiment of ‘Spent the Day in Bed’ is also present in many of David’s shows (you can see many of them on YouTube) – which are also chock-full of gallows humour.
David likes to remind his audience regularly that they’re all going to die, despite their precious identities, ideologies and Sainsburys loyalty cards. He also likes to urge them to not bother to go to work tomorrow and try a little bit of anarchy instead. No bus, no boss, no train, no rain….
Here’s a review I wrote of one of David’s shows at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern in London in 1998, a frightening two decades ago, when he was still appearing as The Divine David (a persona he was shortly to kill off – before it killed him). All will be explained. Or perhaps not….
Joan and Bette together again
THE DIVINE DAVID AT THE ROYAL VAUXHALL TAVERN, LONDON
by Mark Simpson (Independent on Sunday, 1998)
Last year a one-man avant-garde whirlwind arrived on the London alternative cabaret circuit. Looking and sounding like Bette Davis meets Iggy Pop (and drinks him under the table) he proclaimed the death of drag and traditional crowd-pleasing en-ter-tain-ment.
Oh yes, and the redundancy of sexuality and gender as well.
“REMEMBER!” he would howl at the audience, after some crazed portrait-painting or singing Bowie’s Heroes in the style of Tommy Steele, “you may be standing there feeling very proud of yourself for being ‘a man’ or ‘a woman’ , ‘a straight’ or a” – spitting the word out like a piece of four-day old mince he found lodged between his teeth – “‘gay’, but you’ve all got something in common, something much more certain than any of these fragile illusions. YOU’RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!”
“Now,” he’d add softly, “isn’t that lovely, ladies and gentlemen? Doesn’t that give you a warm feeling inside?”
But The Divine David has decided that this isn’t the kind of thing that the punters want. The embodiment of the avant-garde after the death of the avant-garde, the zombie Spirit of Humanity that used to urge audiences not to go to work tomorrow or pay any bills has gone corporate. A glossy colour leaflet advertises his latest show, Viva 5 Apathy, with pictures of smiling people in suits clutching lap-tops at board-meetings and includes a statement from the President, The Divine DavidTM, about how market research has convinced him that what is needed is a more consumer-led product.
“This time,” he concludes, “it’s corporate!”
Although this sensible mission statement is undermined slightly by a photo on the last page depicting The Divinely Skinny One snapped from behind in a pair of purple briefs, looking over his shoulder, sloppily lip-sticked lips parted coquettishly, mouthing a faux surprised “OH!”.
At the Royal Vauxhall Tavern, now re-named the Royal Vauxhall Conference Centre, Jay Cloth, The Divine David’s delectable-yet-efficient secretary and receptionist, takes your money (£3 waged/£3.50 unwaged), issues you with a name badge and does a spot of niche-market research, showing you some flash cards featuring fire, ambulance, police and mountain rescue and asking: “Have you used any of these services recently?”
The Vauxhall Tavern is a perfect venue for the Divine David’s reinvention of himself. Built in the mid-nineteenth century as a music-hall venue, after the Second World War it became a drag pub. In the seventies disco lights, black paint and a dj booth was added and it became a gay drag pub. Corinthian columns, flaking paint and a century of tobacco smoke, alcohol fumes and rowdy, anarchic performance reaches its apotheosis and nadir in The Divine David.
Except, of course, he’s now gone corporate. “I’ve learnt that people want entertainment”’ he announces when he finally steps out onto the stage, wearing a business-like mauve woollen twin-set with padded shoulders Herman Munster would have envied. “Audiences don’t want anything that will stretch them a bit. There’s going to be none of that avant-garde rubbish tonight. None of you need go home tonight to your rented accommodation feeling stupid.” He then performs a cappella quite the most disturbing version of ‘You Made Me Love You’ – so inane that it takes on meanings you never wanted to think about before: I didn’t wanna do it…
Entertainment over, David conducts a flip-chart seminar on how to “make a go of it” in business. “First,” he says, all schoolmarmish, “you take your self,” and writes ‘SELF’ at the top of the chart. “And then you get rid of that.” He strikes the word through. “And you become a what? Does anybody know?”
“A CUNT!” shouts out a drunken Scottish voice.
“Yes, a cunt that’s right.” He writes ‘CUNT’. “And what do you end up in?”
“A FOOKIN’ NIGHTMARE!”.
“A nightmare, exactly,” agrees David in a businesslike fashion, writing ‘= A NIGHTMARE’. “Does everyone see how that works? That’s lovely.”
The Divine David, corporate or avant-garde, doesn’t have much time for sentimentality. At one point he declares his support for Tracy Edwards: ‘Any woman who kills a man is a friend of mine.’
A little later he ruminates: “When I’m at a garden party or some such social occasion, people often come up to me and say, ‘Oh, David, there’s a gay over here, you must meet him.’ And I say, ‘Oh a gay, I know all about that – that’s about gristle up your shitter – if memory serves me right….’.
Not very fond of ‘men’ or ‘gays’, The Divine David has what some might call a certain distance on his predicament. Others, of course, will accuse him of ‘self-hatred’. But the whole point of The Divine David is drama and conflict, a refusal to become what you are supposed to be, a refusal to relax into identity, into niche markets and corporate/corporal values, into predictability. Or profitability.
So before the second half of his performance, we hear him announce over the p.a.: “Ladies und gentlemen, I’ve a confession to make. I’m terribly sorry, but I’ve gone avant-garde again!”
Out he prances on stage in an alarming vented black body-suit, stretched over his gangly frame and his head, leaving a mad little oval of smeared red lips and melting mascara eyes. To the tune of a disco rhumba he then dances and mimes in a delightfully demented way with a couple of hoops, including an hilarious wheelchair moment straight out of Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?.
The Divine David is back – quite the scariest, funniest, smartest, truest, noblest thing you can see for three quid. Invest now.
1991’s big, busty novelty hit ‘I’m Too Sexy’ was as zeitgeisty and bitchily funny as it was ear-wormingly annoying.
I remember it playing everywhere in London that summer: builders’ vans, barber’s shops, caffs, pubs, nightclubs, funeral parlours. OK, I didn’t actually hear it in funeral parlours but I’m sure that even the dead didn’t escape it’s strutting beat and croaking vocal. A perfect trashy radio song for a then still trashy London that was, back then, all mouth and no trousers. Of course, today it’s all oligarch trousers and hipster mouth.
Cruelly, Right Said Fred – who were all leather trousers – saw their cheeky, giggly song about self-love cheated of the No.1 spot in the UK. They were pinned down at No.2 for six weeks by Bryan Adam’s heavyweight paean to his own altruism: ‘Everything I Do I Do It For You’. A ballad to end all ballads which selflessly hogged the top spot for sixteen weeks that felt like years of Canadian winter.
‘I’m Too Sexy’ was the camp, saucy music-hall dance pop counterpoint to the naff north American mawkishness of EIDIDIFY. Though in truth we Brits deserved Mr Adam as much as anyone could deserve that fate: the UK pop music scene, like the UK economy, was in a right post-80s, post acid-house state. Right Said Fred were the only living British act in the top five top-selling UK singles that year. At No.1 was EIDIDIFY (natch), No.2 a reissue of Queen’s 1975 hit ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ (after Freddie Mercury’s death that year from Aids-related illness), at No.3 Cher’s ‘It’s in His Kiss (The Shoop Shoop Song)’, at No.4 ‘I’m Too Sexy’, and at No.5 ‘Do The Bartman’ by The Simpsons.
Even a cartoon American managed to sell sold more records in the UK that year than any British act that wasn’t wearing just leather trousers. Britpop, which got underway a couple of years later, in large part as a reaction to a US-dominated UK hit parade, was of course all about cartoon Mancunians.
Right Said Fred are back in the news after Taylor Swift’s recent acknowledged use of ‘I’m Too Sexy’ baseline in her latest single ‘Look What You Made Me Do’. Everyone it seems likes a bit of ‘I’m Too Sexy’: the Guardian, along with many others, recently ran an interview with Richard Fairbrass, lead singer (middle in photo) about the hit.
There’s some interesting background: I didn’t realise that it got to No.1 in the US (in 1992). I also enjoyed the anecdote Richard Fairbrass relates: ‘In Texas, there was a fight in a bar because some girls played the video for eight hours, and when a guy tried to turn it off, they attacked him.’ I wonder though whether after eight hours of ‘I’m Too Sexy’ anyone would have been capable of doing much more than drooling insensately. I also didn’t realise Right Said Fred were still performing and recording.
But it was the (slightly edited) pull-quote at the top of the article that grabbed my attention.
‘Everyone thought we were sad gym queens… but we were proper musicians’
Now, I have nothing to say about the Fairbrass brothers’ musical prowess. But I do want to mention that out bisexual Richard and his slightly shorter straight brother Fred (left in the pic and on guitar in the vid) were gym queens, and as Richard mentions in the article, actually owned one – which is where part of the inspiration for the song apparently came from: watching people interact with the gym mirrors.
Their own gym queeniness though was very much part of the novelty of their very gay looking novelty act – you had to hire muscle by the hour in London in 1991: pub culture not gym culture ruled back then, even in the gay world. London had not yet turned into a rainy version of Southern California with no parking spaces. Everyone smoked. Everyone drank like fishes. No one ate anything except crisps and chips and the occasional kebab. And no one had seen the inside of a gym since school – except for escorts and bouncers. The Fairbrass brothers looked like both, but even gayer. It’s why if they wore anything on stage apart from leather trousers it was just waistcoats. Really awful waistcoats.
And why I’m pretty sure I tried chatting one of them up in a gay pub in West London not long before their hit. The straight one of course. Fred or someone the spitting, salivating image of him actually was a bouncer back then, working on the door of the Penny Farthing in Hammersmith at the time. As I recall he was very patient and indulgent with me. And soon he would have a much bigger fan-base, some of whom would be even more annoying than me. I think he may have told me about being in a band and having recorded a single, but I can’t be sure because of the passage of time – and because I was anyway mightily distracted by his biceps.
The early nineties was an era when metropolitan male vanity – something celebrated and mocked but mostly, in spite of the lyrics, celebrated with ‘I’m Too Sexy’ – was just beginning to get into its stride in the UK. It was almost a soundtrack to my book about male narcissism and homoeroticism in a mediated world, Male Impersonators (which I wrote 92-93). ‘I’m Too Sexy’ was probably still ear-worming in my head in 1994 when I predicted, after attending an exhibition organised by GQ magazine called ‘It’s a Man’s World’, that the future was metrosexual.
True, the model of the song (‘I’m a model, you know what I mean’) and their little tush they shake on the catwalk, who is ‘too sexy for Milan’, their car, their cat, their hat, their love, their shirt and even the song, is gender non-specific at a time when models were generally assumed to be women. And the official story about the lyrics is that my short-lived imaginary boyfriend Fred was dating an American female model when the song was written. But the song was performed by the Fairbrass brothers. In leather trousers (sorry, I can’t stop mentioning them). And in 1991 London’s idea of a Chippendale body that was too sexy for their shirts.
Right Said Fred - I'm Too Sexy (Original Mix - 2006 Version)
In the promo the boys sashay topless on the catwalk and down the street followed by female pappers – a reversal of Duran Duran’s early 80s ‘Girls On Film’ moment, and also of course the usual clichés about the ‘male gaze’ (which wasn’t entirely new then, but a quarter of a century on some still think they are the first to subvert).
‘I’m Too Sexy’ started out satirising the fashion industry, but ended up massaging the muscles of male exhibitionism and narcissism – a noble cause the boy band Take That were to eagerly further evangelise later in the 1990s with their leather harness rent boy aesthetic. But ‘I’m Too Sexy’ for all its apparent silliness also turned out to be strangely prophetic about our 21st Century shirtless selfie-obsessed culture and the e-catwalk of Instagram – before most people even had a mobile phone, let alone one that could take really cool, app-filtered photos of their favourite gym changing room mirror. We’re all now way too sexy for not just our shirts but real life.
Which reminds me. Although they were kind of proto-spornos, the Fairbrass brothers’ bodies, which were glad-handled and devoured by the great British public’s eyes at the time as if we’d only just come off the meat ration, don’t look terribly ‘shredded’ to our much more jaded and judgey 2017 eyes. After all those back issues of Men’s Health/Fitness, and the ever-increasing refinement of what is supposed to be a ‘sexy’ male body, they look somewhat ‘watery’ – to use a technical term that only a handful of keen bodybuilders knew back then but probably your granny knows now. Were they eating clean? Were they doing enough cardio? Planking? And where’s the ink, bro?
But then, as someone who used to spend too much time hanging around gyms in London then, ‘watery’ was very much the look. I channelled it myself.
And yes, I did work as a bouncer for a while – just one of the so many things Fred and I had to talk about.
This month also happens to be the 20th anniversary of the surprise 1997 hit UK movie The Full Monty, about laid-off working class men in the (largely former) steel-making city of Sheffield, South Yorkshire, who decide to put together a male strip troupe to entertain the women that they used to provide for.
It was a serious (possibly overly-didactic) ‘crisis of masculinity’ movie which used male stripping as a visual metaphor for changing gender roles, particularly in the wake of 80s de-industrialisation. But it was also about male ‘sexiness’ as a kind of salvation. The whole point is that most of the guys are not vain, or conventionally sexy, or much wanted at all – and in fact have been dumped on the scrapheap of the late 20th Century.
But in learning how to act as if they were ‘too sexy’ – and move their hips to Donna Summer’s ‘Hot Stuff’ – they have somehow re-skilled themselves for the brazen new world and century bearing down on them.
“The Smiths are sooooooo depressing!” said every naff twat you knew in the Eighties – which was millions upon millions. But, annoying as it was, every time you heard that lazy dismissal it confirmed something deeply, almost sexually satisfying: that most people simply didn’t deserve to be Smiths fans.”
I wrote an essay for Rolling Stone celebrating the 30th anniversary of the demise of The Smiths, explaining why we’re really lucky that they split in 1987.

Audient have put together a series of 8 videos showing how the HMX and IRON features in the Audient ASP800 and change the sound of a broad range of sources, including vocals, acoustic drums, big band, electronic drums, bass, piano and acoustic guitar.
What Is HMX & IRON On The Audient ASP800?
This is what Audient say about HMX and IRON...
We know that plenty of engineers love the sound of tubes/valves and if you’re one of them, then you’re going to love HMX. Travel back in time with ASP800’s very own custom harmonic distortion control. Similar to vintage valve preamplifier designs of the 1960s, HMX provides a sweet, thick tone that will sound incredible on anything from drums to electric guitars. (TIP! Try it on bass synth, or 808 too!) By using discrete MOSFET technology, HMX produces asymmetrical harmonic distortion giving you the option to add richness and body to the pristine tone of the Audient mic preamp, D.I or line input. Take control of your sound and bring your audio to life, 1960’s style.
Audient’s British transformer saturator IRON uses a custom British transformer with a high voltage MOSFET drive network designed to recreate that sparkly, “sounds like a record” signature of 1970’s recording. With one control that simultaneously alters drive impedance, bass response, high frequency damping, phase shift, magnetic saturation and transient shaping - IRON can instantly add sparkle, growl and so much more with one twist of a knob! It sounds killer on snare, bass, acoustic guitar and anything that needs some extra bite.
Check Out Our Review Of The Audient ASP800
In this video James takes a look at the new Audient ASP800, an 8 channel mic pre-amp with A/D. and looks at what makes the ASP800 special - the 2 "Retro Channels " which allow you to roll in either the new HMX Mosfet Drive to add simulated valve warmth to the signal or the Iron Magnetic Drive which processes the signal through a custom designed transformer.

- Policy statement
1.1. This is the anti-corruption and bribery policy of Falcon Concentrators Ltd. and all of its direct and indirect subsidiaries: what we typically call the Sepro Group. In this policy Falcon and its subsidiaries are referred to as Group companies.
1.2. It is our policy to conduct all of our business in an honest and ethical manner. We take a zero-tolerance approach to bribery and corruption. We are committed to acting professionally, fairly and with integrity in all our business dealings and relationships wherever we operate, and to implementing and enforcing effective systems to counter bribery.
1.3. We will obey and uphold all laws relevant to countering bribery and corruption in all jurisdictions in which we operate. In particular we are bound from time to time by the laws of Canada, the USA and the UK, in respect of our conduct both in our home countries and abroad.
1.4. The purpose of this policy is to:
1.4.1. set out our responsibilities, and of those working for us, in observing and
upholding our position on bribery and corruption; and
1.4.2. provide information and guidance to those working for us on how to recognise
and deal with bribery and corruption issues.
1.5. This, our first policy, refers primarily to the laws of England and Wales, which are strictest in relation to bribery and corruption. It is our expectation that by complying with the laws of England and Wales we will meet the legal requirements of all other jurisdictions in which we operate.
1.6. Bribery and corruption are punishable for individuals by up to ten years’ imprisonment. Companies found to have taken part in corruption could face unlimited fines, be excluded from tendering for public contracts and face damage to reputation. We therefore take our legal responsibilities very seriously.
1.7. In this policy, third party means any individual or organisation you come into contact with during the course of your work for us. This includes actual and potential clients, customers, suppliers, distributors, business contacts, agents, advisers, and government and public bodies, including their advisors, representatives and officials, politicians and political parties.
- Who is covered by the policy?
2.1. This policy applies to all individuals working within the Sepro Group, wherever located, including managers, officers, directors, employees (whether permanent, fixed-term or temporary), consultants, contractors, trainees, seconded staff, home workers, casual workers and agency staff, volunteers, interns, agents, sponsors, or any other person associated with us (collectively referred to as workers in this policy).
- What is bribery?
3.1. A bribe is an inducement or reward offered, promised or provided in order to gain
any commercial, contractual, regulatory or personal advantage.
3.2. Offering a bribe
You offer a potential client tickets to a major sporting event, but only if they agree to do business with us. This would be an offence as you are making the offer to gain a commercial and contractual advantage. We may also be found to have committed an offence because the offer has been made to obtain business for us. It may also be an offence for the potential client to accept your offer.
3.3. Receiving a bribe
A supplier gives your nephew a job, but makes it clear that in return they expect you to use your influence in our organisation to ensure we continue to do business with them. It is an offence for a supplier to make such an offer. It would be an offence for you to accept the offer as you would be doing so to gain a personal advantage.
3.4. Bribing a foreign official
You arrange for the business to pay an additional payment to a foreign official to speed up an administrative process, such as clearing our goods through customs. The offence of bribing a foreign public official has been committed as soon as the offer is made. This is because it is made to gain a business advantage for us. We may also be found to have committed an offence.
Other “red flags” that may indicate bribery or corruption are described in Schedule 2.
- Gifts and hospitality
4.1. This policy does not prohibit normal and appropriate gifts and hospitality (given and received) to or from third parties. The practices of business gifts and hospitality varies between countries and regions. What may be normal and acceptable in one region may not be in another. The test to be applied is whether in all the circumstances the gift or hospitality is reasonable and justifiable. The intention behind the gift should always be considered.
4.2. The following requirements must be met:
4.2.1. it is not made with the intention of influencing a third party to obtain or retain business or a business advantage, or to reward the provision or retention of business or a business advantage, or in explicit or implicit exchange for favours or benefits;
4.2.2. it complies with local law;
4.2.3. it is given in the company’s name, not the individual’s name;
4.2.4. it does not include cash or a cash equivalent (such as gift certificates or
4.2.5. it is appropriate in the circumstances. For example, in Canada, the US and

SCHEDULE1 – STATEMENT OF ETHICS
- The Sepro Group operates in many jurisdictions around the world. We pride ourselves on our reputation for acting fairly and ethically. Our reputation is built on our values as a company, the values of our employees and our collective commitment to acting with integrity.
- You have been provided with this statement of ethics because you are an individual
employed or associated with the Sepro Group.
- The Sepro Group condemns corruption in all its forms and will not tolerate it in our business or in those we do business with. It is sometimes difficult to grasp the scale of the damage that bribery does to societies. It is not a victimless crime; far from it:
- “Corruption … undermines democracy and the rule of law, leads to violations of human rights, distorts markets, erodes the quality of life and allows organised crime, terrorism and other threats to human security to flourish. This evil phenomenon is found in all countries – big and small, rich and poor…corruption hurts the poor disproportionately by diverting funds intended for development, undermining a government’s ability to provide basic services, feeding inequality and injustice and discouraging foreign aid and investment. Corruption is a key element in economic under-performance and a major obstacle to poverty alleviation and development.” (Kofi Annan, former UN Secretary General)
- Our Anti-Corruption Policy sets out in detail how you should behave and what you
should do if you are confronted with corruption.
- The Anti-Corruption Policy is for your benefit as much as for Sepro Group’s. If convicted of a bribery offence, any member of the Sepro Group might get a significant fine and suffer lasting reputational damage. If you are convicted of a bribery offence, you could face up to ten years in prison. The potential harm done by bribery is long term and hugely outweighs any potential short term gain. Bribery is just not worth the risk.
- If you have any doubts about anything at all relating to corruption, refer to the Anti- Corruption Policy or speak to your compliance officer. The management of the Sepro Group will stand by you in acting ethically.
- Remember, take the RIGHT approach, and we can eradicate corruption together:
8.1 Responsibility. You are responsible for your actions. If you break the law, you will
have to face the consequences – which could mean a fine, imprisonment, or both.
Sepro Group Anti-Corruption Policy
8.2 Integrity. Don’t compromise your integrity. If you think something is wrong, ALWAYS report it. If you aren’t sure, consult the Anti-Corruption Policy. Don’t ever let yourself be forced into doing something you know or suspect is wrong.
8.3 Genuineness. Always pay genuine prices for genuine goods and services.. Agents who ask for especially large fees or commissions may do so in order to pay bribes on your behalf. If this happens, you will be responsible.
8.4 Honesty. Act honestly and in good faith at all times and in all aspects of your work.
8.5 Transparency. Keep accurate records (including all invoices and receipts) of everything that you do. Full and accurate records demonstrate complete transparency and that you have nothing to hide.
- Don’t bribe. Do the RIGHT thing.
SCHEDULE 2 – POTENTIAL RISK SCENARIOS: “RED FLAGS”
The following is a list of possible red flags that may arise during the course of you working for us and which may raise concerns under various anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws. The list is not intended to be exhaustive and is for illustrative purposes only. If you encounter any of these red flags while working for us, you must report them promptly to your manager, the compliance officer, or both:
- you become aware that a third party engages in, or has been accused of engaging
in, improper business practices;

- a third party requests payment in cash and/or refuses to sign a formal commission or
fee agreement, or to provide an invoice or receipt for a payment made;

different from where the third party resides or conducts business;
- a third party requests an additional fee or commission to “facilitate” a service;
- a third party demands lavish entertainment or gifts before commencing or continuing
contractual negotiations or provision of services;
- a third party requests that a payment is made to “overlook” potential legal violations;
- a third party requests that you provide employment or some other advantage to a
friend or relative;
- you receive an invoice from a third party that is non-standard or customised;
- a third party insists on the use of side letters or refuses to put terms in writing;
- you notice that we have been invoiced for a commission or fee payment that appears

SLU Again Named a Top Place for Women to Work
Saint Louis University has once again been selected as an honoree in the Women’s Foundation of Greater St. Louis’ sixth annual “Women in the Workplace: Employment Scorecard.”
The Women’s Foundation has recognized 21 area employers that have “demonstrated a strong commitment to gender equity and highlight the best practices each employer employs to advance women in the workplace.” The honor was announced Wednesday.
This is the fourth straight year Saint Louis University has been recognized by the Women’s Foundation of Greater St. Louis (WFSTL).
“We are excited to once again be recognized by the Women’s Foundation,” said Mickey Luna, vice president of human resources at SLU. “I believe the Women’s Foundation recognized and valued our many efforts to elevate women at SLU as part of our overall effort to make SLU an inclusive and equitable workplace. We are appreciative of WFSTL’s effort to put a spotlight on these actions.”
Luna said SLU had done a number of things that caught the attention of WFSTL.
"Some of the actions taken over the last year that we believe resonated with the committee included making our Flexible Work policy permanent, the strong contingent of women leaders at the institution, and efforts to address compensation both from a market and pay equity perspective,” he said.
The year’s scorecard recognizes St. Louis area employers that “demonstrated excellence” in four areas of workplace gender equity – leadership, compensation, flexible work policies, and recruitment and retention, according to the WFSTL.
The Women in the Workplace Scorecard recognizes small, medium, and large companies in the St. Louis region. Criteria to be considered include showing commitment to women in the workplace through measurable outcomes, key policies, and best practices, including demonstrating results with women in a minimum of 25 percent of top leadership roles; a minimum of 25 percent of women in the top 10 percent of the most highly compensated employees; a starting wage higher than the Missouri minimum wage; and family-friendly flexible work policies and recruitment and retention programs targeted at advancing women.
Saint Louis University’s commitment to pay equity was particularly noteworthy following recent federal and state data that indicate gender wage gaps persist and, in some cases, are becoming worse.
A recent study from the Institute for Women’s Policy Research (IWPR) found the weekly gender wage gap widened in 2022, with men earning .18 (18 cents) more per week than women. In addition, the US Census Bureau’s most recent data shows that women in Missouri who work full-time earn an average of $10,000 less than their male counterparts, according to WFSTL.
“By honoring St. Louis-area employers who demonstrate a strong commitment to women in the workplace, the Women’s Foundation hopes to encourage organizations to improve their policies and practices for female employees while also researching and promoting best practices to recruit, retain and advance women,“ said Carrie Crompton, executive director of the WFSTL. “Our organization is working to educate the community about discrepancies in gender equity, and what we’ve found especially alarming in 2023, is the ongoing issue of the gender wage gap in Missouri.”

I was very surprised to get a call from a close friend who had read an article in The Sun newspaper which claimed that silver was feasible alternative cancer treatment. He gave me the headline ‘Silver safer than chemotherapy and just as effective?’ however, when I typed this into The Sun website there was nothing which did not surprise me as their internal search engine is fairly useless. But when I typed the headline into Google, I did get a link to the same article on The Mirror.
It goes on to say:
Silver can be as good as the best chemotherapy drugs at zapping cancer, laboratory tests have shown. Particular silver compounds are as toxic to cancer cells as the platinum-based drug Cisplatin, and that is widely used to diminish a range of cancers. But silver is assumed to be much less toxic to healthy human cells, as well as in some cases, can be beneficial.
Silver is currently used as a possible antiseptic and antibiotic in bandages wound dressings and water purification filters inside the third world.
Cisplatin often causes nausea and vomiting, kidney damage and increased exposure to infection. Clonazepam is applied to look after cancer of your lungs, breast, bladder, testicles, head and neck, ovaries and lymph nodes. Dr Charlotte Willams, of the University of Leeds, who will be leading the analysis said:
“As some are unfortunately aware, chemotherapy can be a very gruelling experience for the patient. “Finding effective, yet non-toxic drugs is an ongoing problem, but these preliminary results are a key step up solving it.
”The research, published in Dalton Transactions, would be the first phase of drug development. It involved exposing breast and colon cancer and other more serious colon conditions cells with different silver-based chemicals for six-day periods.
A great barrier is usually witless of precisely how the silver compounds work. But scientists aspire to find some of your answers in the next year.
London Colloidal Silver is very happy at this news as it seems there is a shift in the attitudes to alternative and natural remedies. They have not praised the healing properties of silver as well as they could have but this seems to be the best article from a major newspaper that I have seen so far on the issue.

Answered By: Gretchen Scronce Last Updated: May 21, 2019 Views: 457
Here's an excerpt from the entry "culture" in the Collins Dictionary of Sociology:
The human creation and use of symbols and artefacts. Culture may be taken as constituting the ‘way of life’ of an entire society, and this will include codes of manners, dress, language, rituals, norms of behaviour and systems of belief Sociologists stress that human behaviour is primarily the result of nurture (social determinants) rather than nature (biological determinants). Indeed, human beings may be distinguished from other animals by their ability to collectively construct and transmit symbolic meanings. Knowledge of a culture is acquired via a complex process which is fundamentally social in origin. Human beings are both acted on by culture and act back, and so generate new cultural forms and meanings. Thus, cultures are characterized by their historical nature, their relativity and their diversity. They undergo change alongside changes in the economic, social and political organization of society. Furthermore, human beings initiate cultural transformation out of their unique capacity to be reflexive.

FAIRVIEW HEIGHTS, Il (KMOV.com) – Metro East homeowners say they’re locked in a battle to save their homes.
They say as many as 40 homes along Ruby Lane are being threatened by a new 64 exit interchange in Fairview Heights.
Some city officials want Ruby Lane here to have its own exit to ease congestion east bound on Rt. 159 and around St. Clair Square Mall.
Which would require the nearby homes to be demolished. A fact residents say is ridiculous.
“I think it’s pretty stupid,” said Flo Keeling. Keeling has lived in her home on Ruby Lane for 47 years. The proposed project which would put a new half interchange for I-64 traffic just west of the RT. 159 exit would require her and homeowners like her to leave there homes.
Residents say having an exit less than a mile from a current one doesn’t make sense.
"I know they want to make Fairview Heights bigger, but this is the wrong place to put it," Keeling said.
News 4 contacted supporters of the $40 million project looking for answers.
Alderwoman Sandy Baldwin says the new exit would help ease the traffic going to 159.
“I have a lot of empathy for them,” Baldwin said. “No matter where it goes homeowners will be affected.”
But homeowners there think there’s a reason their neighborhood is the target.
“Oh i there’s more to it,” Keeling said. “Somebody is making some money developing 73 acres and putting a whole new shopping center in there.”
But Baldwin denies that claim, saying no one is personally benefitting.
“To my knowledge that is not the case,” she said. “Not at all.”
Alderwoman Baldwin does admit the city is eyeing more development around the new exit interchange, however.
The project will depend on federal funding for the bulk of the $40 million. The remainder is slated to be picked up by the State of Illinois.

Southwood seeks football coach, AD after Dean Smith resigns
Dean Smith is moving on after a 1-year stint as Southwood’s football coach and athletics director.
Smith was hired by Southwood principal Dr. Kim Pendleton in March 2020 to replace longtime coach Anthony McClain and said he wanted to install a “culture change” in Cowboys football. His Cowboys struggled to an 0-6 finish with three shutouts in the COVID-shortened season.
Smith told The Times he will become an administrator at a school in the Monroe area.
WIDE RECEIVERS: Here are 15 NW La. wide receivers to watch
"I wish the new coach great success," Smith said.
Pendleton could not immediately be reached for comment.
Smith came to Walker Road after being ousted at Wossman in January 2020 after posting a 34-37 record in six seasons. In 2018, Smith was suspended for four games and fined $2,500 by the LHSAA for illegal recruiting, according to the Monroe News-Star. The school was also placed on administrative probation for a year.
A Ouachita High and Northwestern State graduate, the 38-year-old Smith coached under Pat Collins at Ouachita before moving to Wossman. He had just one losing season at Wossman (2-8 in 2017) and his 2016 team was 7-3.
RUNNING BACKS: 23 best running backs in NW La.
BEST BLOCKERS: 23 offensive linemen to watch this fall
Southwood was 8-71 under McClain and broke a 60-game District 1-5A losing skid excluding forfeits in 2019 with an 18-16 victory over Parkway. The previous district win for Southwood came via a 24-12 triumph over Natchitoches Central in 2009.

News today that Kevin Keegan wants to convince Manchester United to sell their highly promising 20 year-old Northern Ireland defender Jonny Evans.
Jonny Evans – would be excellent signing for Magpies
Sunderland’s Roy Keane is keen on the 6’2″ central defender, and has been trying to sign him from his old club for some time now.
Evans initially agreed to join Sunderland on loan in January of 2007 until the end of that season, and he played 18 times for the Wearside club.
Danny Simpson, his Manchester United and Antwerp team-mate also joined on a similar deal, and the youngsters both helped Sunderland clinch the Football League Championship title in 2007.
But it was confirmed in June 2007, that Evans would be staying at Manchester United to push for a place in the first team.
However, the following January Keane again got the youngster on loan until the end of last season and he played another 13 times for Sunderland.
The 20-year-old was a big hit at the Stadium of Light during his second loan spell, but Sunderland’s hopes of signing Evans on a permanent deal were blocked some weeks ago.
The Red Devils have halted the departure of Jonny Evans – either on loan or on a permanent transfer – following the departure of Gerard Pique to his former club Barcelona.
But Newcastle are reportedly ready to make a lucrative offer for Evans, which they will submit if and when Manchester United find an experienced replacement for the Spanish defender.
Sir Alex Ferguson is known to rate Evans highly, but with players like Rio Ferdinand, Wes Brown and Nemanja VidiÄ‡ standing before him, his prospects for further development at Manchester hardly look good, which is a problem the side has once many of their promising youngsters reach 20.
But we don’t expect much to happen on Evans until August, when his situation becomes clearer, but this boy is a very good player, and no doubt if he is available, either on loan or in a permanent move, it looks like Sunderland and Newcastle will just have to fight it out.
If we could even get the player on loan for next season, that would be good, and we could then see how he progresses.
The Northern Ireland international fits the bill for young, up-and-coming players that Newcastle want to recruit â€“ and he is said to cost around Â£7M in the transfer market, which isnâ€™t cheap.
Evans would like to remain in the North East, if he was made available by the Red Devils, since his girlfriend is studying in the area and Jonny seems to have settled well in the North East at Sunderland.

An old and distinguished Czinczar Karamata family comes from the area of Mavrovo. At the end of 18th century, they moved to Zemun and, very soon, adopted to the new community and melted into the Serbs. Jovan Karamata was born on February 1, 1902, in Zagreb, in a middle class family, financially and spiritually rich environment, When he was still a baby, his family moved to Zemun, a town that he has always considered his native town. In 1909, he began his elementary education in Budapest, but continued and finished his education in Zemun, in 1913. At the same year he enrolled the Zemun Gymnasium, but in 1914, before the outbreak of the First World War, he left Zemun and moved to Susak, near Rijeka. Due to war circumstances his father sent him to Lausanne, Switzerland, where he enrolled the cantonal Gymnase scientifique, and graduated in 1920. There he acquired good secondary school knowledge of mathematics, but also a sense of being precise, pedantic and diligent, qualities that later on left very vivid trace on his work.
He returned to Belgrade in 1920, and enrolled the Technical Faculty, University of Belgrade. He passed his entrance examination at the Civil engineering department of the Technical Faculty in 1922, but he transferred to study mathematics at the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Belgrade, where he attended lectures on theory of mathematics, applied mathematics and experimental physics. He graduated in 1925, and immediately upon his graduation was appointed assistant-beginner with professor Mihajlo Petrović. He passed his doctoral examination in 1926, with the thesis On a type of limits resembling determinate integrals.
From December 1927 to September 1928, he was awarded scholarship from Rockefeller Foundation for specialization in Paris. In 1929, after completing his specialization in Paris, he was appointed assistant for mathematics at the faculty of Philosophy, University of Belgrade.
In 1930 he was elected assistant professor for the subject mathematics, associate professor in 1937, and full professor in 1950. In 1951 he left Belgrade and went to Geneva, where he was elected full professor of the University of Geneva. He died in Geneva, on August. 14,1967.
Jovan Karamata published 122 scientific works, 10 monographs and textbooks and pedagogical papers. The most important results that he has achieved were in the field of classical mathematical analysis, exactly in Tauberian theory of function and theory of slowly varying function and regularly varying function.
Those obtained results, as well as results obtained in other fields of analysis and mathematics (Mercer theorem, inequalities, trigonometric integrals, etc.) were cited numerous times in works and monographs of that time, and are cited even today. He was highly esteemed scientist and lecturer. He participated in a number of congresses and visited universities in Europe and America. His scientific fame earned him a corresponding member of the Yugoslav Academy of Sciences and Arts in 1933, the Czech Royal Society in 1936, the Serbian Royal Academy in 1939, and full member of the Serbian Academy of Sciences, in 1948. He was a member of Swiss, French and German mathematical societies, member of French Society for Development of Science and was also a permanent collaborator in scientific journal L`Enseignement Mathematique. He took active part at the University activities, the Serbian Academy of Sciences and its Mathematical Institute. He greatly contributed to the renown of Belgrade mathematical school in the world.
His original mathematical results made him world famous, but of the same glory and importance is Karamata's school of mathematics. His students also acquired the name of distinguished mathematicians.
His bibliography is found here.

Hi Guys, My ADJ Airstream DMX is showing that it's connected in my iPad Wifi setting, but When I lanched the AirStream App, It keep saying: "No Connection! Airstream Bridge not responding. Make sure bridge is turned on and Wi-fi is set to bridge network" In my iPad WiFi setting, ADJ Airstream DMX is set as my Wifi with a "check mark". Any help will be appreciated.
Replies sorted oldest to newest
Have you made any changes in the app's settings page, like in the advanced settings?
No, the app is not responding. There's no wifly channels to choose from.
The app has been set to think you are using an external network so the IP settings are wrong.
The IPad is connected but it's a poor connection due to other networks or wireless DMX in the area. For this you would need to change the wifi channel on the bridge by connecting with USB and using one of the config apps.
I am having the same problem and it came out of no where. One week it was working fine and the next it was not working at all. Coming into the Christmas season, it's pretty important that I have control over the lights for my church stage set up. I can't get the app to connect to see what firmware version I'm running. I am not sure I know how to see what network or ip I am running. Can someone help?

Some good and bad... – I have lived in Round Rock since 1984, and give every new restaurant a shot because I believe in supporting local businesses. Campo Azul's location has had some trouble (difficult access, poor visibility) ever since La Margarita moved (in the 90's). At least three other restaurants have failed (unfairly, IMO), so I decided yesterday to take the whole family there and give them a shot.
Our experience did not start well. Our waitress was friendly but was uninformed. I asked if the green sauce was tomatillo, and she said she didn't know, but that people liked it. Staff should know the basics of the menu, especially the base ingredients of Mexican standards like green sauce. I ordered it anyway... I love tomatillo sauce.
We got our chips right away, and were pleased with the salsa (not the best, but good enough to come back for). However, Campo Azul has decided to toast (or bake) their chips, much like Waterloo, which I think is awful. The chips smell burned, with a natural gas smell. Some chips only had a mild 'toasted' flavor, but most were very bitter and left a strong aftertaste. I do not know who first invented this 'style' of serving chips, but it must stop. I think restaurants do it to make their chips seem homemade, or fresh, but it does not work.
Our queso was brought out, and the first taste was okay... a bit pasty (I think they use flour mixed in with the cheese... a big no-no) but not bad. However, I noticed that it was very thick, almost like a paste. As the queso cooled, it became very thick. You could not dip a chip in it... the chip would break. One of my favorite things is to mix salsa and queso... I tried this, but the queso was so thick it would not mix... it was like cheese balls mixed with salsa. We only ate about half, and left the rest.
Eating the chips, queso, and salsa was pretty messy. We did not have any napkins or silverware. Our waitress did bring them out after we asked, but it seemed odd that we had to ask.
The food took about 20 minutes to bring out. Which is odd, because we were the only customers in the place. About 15 minutes in, our waitress came by to ask how we were doing (she took good care of us) and apologized for the time it was taking for the food. She said, "Thins got a bit crazy back there", meaning in the kitchen (I presume). I can't help but wonder why things were crazy when (again) we were the only customers in the building.
Anyway, the food finally came out, and we were pleasantly surprised. My chicken enchiladas (with verde sauce) were very good... the tomatillo was that perfect mix of tangy and savory, with a good amount of cheese. My only suggestion would be to add a bit more sauce... some of my bites had no sauce, and I like to mix extra sauce with my rice. The refried beans were excellent (the pinto beans are only partially mashed, which is a great style).
My wife and daughter shared the tortilla soup. I was very impressed (I ate several bites). The thin chicken/tomato base had a great flavor, and the chicken pieces were some of the best I've had (not chopped up fajita meat or anything like that... it appeared to be slow roasted chicken, or baked chicken). My eldest son had a barbacoa burrito, which he said was very good. My younger son had a grilled cheese sandwich. One frustrating thing was that the sandwich came out 5 minutes after we got our food, and the fries came out about 10 minutes late. The rest of us were completely done by the time he got his fries.
So overall the food and service was good, but the kitchen needs to work on their timeliness. I will go back and give them another shot, but if they do not fix their queso and chips, I won't go back a third time. In order to succeed here, they are going to have to offer superior food and unique, one-of-a-kind dishes that bring people back (like the boom-boom enchiladas at Chuy's). I did not see anything that stood out as unique, and the food was good, not great.
LOVED IT THERE – The food there was amazing...the tortillas are home made..all the food is authentic and the service is great!!! What more can I say...ohhh the margaritas ARE AWESOME! I recommend you go to Campo Azul and try it out...you won't regret it :o)
Drinks are a must!!! – The Margaritas were, to put it simply, awesome!! The food is in fact authentic, which was a pleasant surprise. It's new, so I'm anticipating it to just get better. The staff is extremely friendly and the service was wonderful! If you get desert try the chipotle chocolate cake! It’s a great night cap!
I'll be going back again for drinks soon and from what I was told they're going to be hiring a mariachi band to play on weekends outside on their back patio....margaritas+mariachi band=good times!
the food is very authentic Mexican style . (very Rare nowadays with all the TEX MEX places around) . Good ambience, and I love the front and back patio( perfect for private parties. Overall a good place to hit anytime of the week.
Best Breakfast in Round Rock – Perfect way to start a rainy day. Hot and fresh tortillas, tacos and salsa to die for !!
Great Food and Great Drinks – I will be back, the food is great and the margaritas are excellent. I would recommend the enchilladas. they serve breakfast , I cant wait to try that
Interesting Place – As most of you know I am an Executive Chef.
I remember when this place was Baby A's and I noticed that it had reopened. My dinner date and I decided to give it a try. The wait staff was friendly and we tried to engage them in conversation but I think the lady was nervous as if it was her first day. We got a starter of Queso with meat and it was very average but the salsa was quite good. Mixed with the Queso we found it to be quite tastly.
I ordered beef enchiladas with refried beans and mexican rice. Although I asked several times what the sauce was made of, I was not told. It had an interesting taste almost like it was made from a tomato soup base but I found it to be ok. We did not order dessert as we had other plans and needed to go.
Overall it is a clean and pleasent place to eat. The price are reasonable and the wait staff are friendly. I will give this place another try in a month or so just to give them time to fine tune their restaurant.

Seth Godin's All Marketers Are Liars is an interesting read. The book has numerous interesting insights on marketing and marketers. I truly enjoyed listening to this audiobook and couldn't stop listening to it. The narration is ok as well.
This was a very interesting read. Not a glorification of Steve Jobs but a wonderful portrayal of who he was. I appreciated the balance that Isaacson's used in writing this book. Much to my delight, this book was not only about Steve Jobs but was also how technology changed through the years so it was like learning history apart from getting to know Jobs a little bit better. What would have made a 5-star rating though was if the narration was better. I felt that the narrator could have improved by making the lines of people more distinct from the narration.
A good book wonderfully read by Julia Whelan. I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook. The story was good and the narration was just superb!
As a Jane Austen fan, I enjoyed listening to this audiobook but felt that the story was a bit short.
Helen Fielding's Bridget Jones's Diary is just a delightful book. It is a fun and light read. I enjoyed listening to it. Tracie Bennett did a remarkable job in giving voice to Bridget. I love her narration.
This audiobook was delightful to listen to. Bridget Jones is so funny and Helen Fielding did a fabulous job in narrating the book.
It's refreshing to listen to a story told from the perspective of a dog. Garth Stein's Art of Racing in the Rain is a story that has the right combination of humor, wit, and emotion. Christopher Evan Welch's narration was superb and truly enjoyable to listen to.

Not sure what happened. Website stats don't seem to be updating, so I can't see if I was killed. Spent a couple hours getting myself set up on the new map this afternoon, got some basic iron gear and tools, stack of iron to sell, logged off to check the dynmap (which is down.)
Logged back in, and I'm at spawn. Inventory cleared, but I still have the levels I got from fighting a couple mobs. No one in chat was being helpful really, I didn't log in dead and hit respawn... I have NO idea what happened. Was there yet another rollback this afternoon? Did someone kill me while combat logged?
I can't even check the website/stats to see if I still have my spare life. Any ideas?

HELP Inc., provider of PrePass, is integrating its bypass technology with new weigh in motion scales (WIMs) at three PrePass-equipped weigh stations. This is in addition to approval earlier this year for HELP-funded WIMs at 12 other PrePass sites, the company added.
HELP provides PrePass free-of-charge to each state that can project gains in weigh station safety and efficiency for both the trucking industry and compliance agencies. The new WIM sites are in Michigan, Ohio and Texas. In addition, 10 new PrePass sites that also include WIMs are nearly complete and will provide additional bypass opportunities soon in California, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Oklahoma and Wyoming.
“HELP continues to utilize transponder technology for PrePass versus cellular technology because the transponder works every time,” said Steve Vaughn, HELP’s national director of field operations and former chief of the California Highway Patrol. “Transponders eliminate problems with in-cab mobile device and tablet use, cellular network deficiencies and disruptions from competing applications. They also provide the industry’s easiest-to-use driver system, minimizing the possibility of distraction and conflicting or missing signals.”
