Fans who like Pink Floyd’s “The Wall” will surely be enthralled width Dave Kerzner’s debut solo album, “New World.” A former member of the Progressive Rock band “Sound of Contact,” his new release has been mixed by legendary engineer Tom Lord-Alge, and is available as a FLAC 24bit / 96hKz download and on CD. Along with Kerzner on vocals and keyboards, the album features special guest Steve Hackett on guitars, Nick D’Virgilio of Spocks Beard, Durga McBroom from Pink Floyd, a mini moog solo by Keith Emerson, and Jason Scheff of Chicago, among others.
Also known as “Squids”, Dave Kerzner is a songwriter, producer, keyboardist and vocalist with a long list of collaborations in the world of prog. After many years working in sound design and production with SR and as a keyboardist with other artists, Dave decided it was time to take center stage as lead vocalist and put out his first Progressive Rock album as a solo artist.
As a fan of multi-channel mixes, this release would lend itself well to that format. However, we only have a high resolution stereo offering that includes over 220 minutes of music. Generally the mix is well balanced and has excellent dynamics, the sound stage is moderately wide, but there is a heavy weighting to the upper mid-range, which push the keyboards out a bit more.
The album “New World” follows the tale of a space pilot who has crashed in a desert. The traveler is injured and delirious on a hostile landscape. There is very little water and the desert is patrolled by killing machines, and so unfolds this great concept album.
The Floyd influence is immediately apparent on the opening track “Stranded” a five part epic. Steve Hackett adds a great guitar solo, and also listen for the wonderful backing vocals by Ana Cristina, Durga McBroom from Pink Floyd and Jason Scheff from Chicago.
As the mission starts we are thrown into prog heaven with “Into The Sun.” Colin Edwin is featured on bass with Heather Findlay on backing vocals. Band member Fernando Perdomo takes us out on both guitar and bass on this incredible start to this journey.
Probably the most radio ready song is “The Lie” with its catchy chorus and blend of rock, alt-rock and prog elements. I started to notice, and upon reading, discovered that there are distinct differences between the Standard and Deluxe Edition versions of this release. Most evident is the songs are longer on the Deluxe Edition and there are several additional tracks. Call me crazy, but there seems to be slightly more bass and a richness to the tom-tom drums on the Deluxe Edition. I was finding myself more drawn in on the Deluxe Edition versions compared with the Standard edition.
Kerzner pulls out all the stops and plays all the parts on “Under Control,” with an warm throbbing acoustic guitar and incredibly clean vocals, all leading into a neo-prog heaviness of beating drums and pumping bass with awesome dynamics throughout. Here is where you know for sure that having the hi-res version pays off.
Using the Keith Emerson’s Sound Reality solo as the basis for the instrumental song “Crossing Of Fates,” check out these virtuoso players dueling in out in keyboard heaven. Meanwhile the awesome rhythm section of Billy Sherwood on bass and Simon Philips on drums drive the listeners through this track.
Keep in mind that there are two unique versions of this album, and when purchasing the Deluxe Edition download you’ll get it all in hi-res, including 12 additional songs.
The title track “New World” is yet another stunning song on this incredibly dynamic release. Francis Dunnery adds some great guitar work and the backing vocals from David Longdon from the band Big,Big Train blend well with this piece. Looking beyond the music, the lyrics are absolute sheer poetry.
The album closes with “Redemption”, effectively the 6th through 10th parts of Stranded. This epic song moves through so many changes in mood and tempo, really keeping the best for last. I found it filled with spine tingling sections, and it certainly seems that all of the musicians pull out all the stops. Francis Dunnery plays a mean guitar solo along with Steve Hackett’s stunning guitar work.
To find out if the traveler survives you’ll simply need to pick up your copy of this masterpiece. Strongly recommended for prog-rock fans, and desirable for hi-res audio enthusiasts. Simply put, New World contains top notch quality writing, playing and production from start to finish. Overall I am blown away by the whole Deluxe Edition download package. It is a must have in my book.

Lawful money loan providers have become well-known as a substitute method of financing a loan when the bank turns you down. Hard money loans have their upside in that they provide you with a prepared method of cash. On the other hand, loan providers can be notorious for hiking their rates as high as New York skyscrapers and beyond. Unscrupulous loan providers can provide you with right into a dive of unending debt and get your property when you fall. So, one of the popular Google search terms on hard money financing is: “How can I find an truthful industrial hard money loan provider?”
The reasoning is simple and, really, very useful once you get the hang of this. Hard money lenders loan cash to people who or else would be unable to these money. These include if you’re seriously in debt and require to rent or purchase a home but can’t obtain the money to go because your credit report is low. Or you want to start up a business but can’t property that loan due to your credit report or some other factors. Here is where the Good Samaritans appears in the form of these lenders plus they may fork the needed money.
Hard cash loan providers deal with different types of financial loans which range from household to industrial and just about everything between. Their authorization depends on the price of your equity. Each money loan provider units his very own charges, pushes his own routine, and has their own specifications for determining your trustworthiness. Each, as well, holds certain loans that others won’t. Banking institutions refrain from providing hard money loans; they’re too dangerous. Hard money loan providers will provide you with them. They’re willing and mainly able to take the danger.
You’ll also discover hard money loans fantastic because the process is a lot simpler than the traditional mortgage system. All you’ll need to do is make a consultation; answer some concerns; offer some credit to loan providers who ask for it; and show the need for your home as collateral. The financial institution assesses the price of your property. If this looks sufficiently beneficial, he or she may progress you the loan. Loans usually consider less than 10 days in the future via. Usually, you’ll receive the funds in 3 or less days. In the event you know the money loan provider, he may give it for you that same day. This seems fantastic if you need that cash now!
The procedure is also far simpler compared to complex underwriting process that is done below normal problems. When trying to get the hard money loan, you must sign and complete significantly less forms plus some cash lenders will overlook your FICO rating.
Thirdly, banks cap your loans minimizing your money and limiting you on your premises requests. Some hard loan providers may cap your financial loans as well, but you’ll find many people who will consider complex-equity specifications and qualities that concerns tens of huge amounts of money. The base line for that hard loan provider will be the borrower’s profile and the need for the property.
The interest is nearly double that of the standard loans. That’s where terrible reputation comes from. And there are a few terrible apples. In fact hard lenders are forced to accomplish this because that’s the way we make our income. We consider dangers in depending on the home as equity and we spend our own funds in advancing these financial loans.
Another drawback is the low worth-to-property proportion in which the loan will typically simply be created at 70 to eighty percent from the home worth so if the lender assesses your concern at $100,000, you will get $70,000 – $80,000.
Hard cash industrial loans are significantly riskier than hard cash household loans. If you standard, you may not get to keep the 30 to 40 % down you placed on the house. Instead, the lender will grab the entire asset and liquidate the asset to include the remaining loan amount. Any extra amount is put into the lender’s wallet and not back into your own. The commercial home loan market has a much more slowly turn over than the household marketplace in general. It can be years before a professional home offers, and loan providers include their losses with this safety.
Who ought to use commercial money loan providers? Having said that, some individuals would income more than other people from trying to get a hard money loan. Such as individuals who find themselves in one in the subsequent situations:
Expedited Funding for the Real Estate Trader – You would like to rapidly close and then sell a property. In contrast to traditional ways, the closing is way faster and approval is given in the few days. This because the hard money loan provider funds from her very own pocket, so that you don’t need to submit each of the documentation or wait the 30 days or maybe more till your application is authorized.
Small Business Owner – Banks and traditional lending institutions are more unwilling to take risks, therefore these institutions yank struggling startups by way of a gruelling methods to determine whether they may be applicable. Most tigjnb startups are turned down. Should you be a small business proprietor who finds himself because situation, you may be thinking about obtaining an industrial hard cash loan. Hopefully, your company is successful as if it doesn’t the trader will use your company property as way of pay back.
Low credit rating trader – Should you be attempting to spend or buy a home however are turned down by conventional lending institutions because of low credit score or background, you may want to consider a commercial hard cash loan provider. Certain requirements to be entitled to a hard money financial loan are less stringent than being qualified to get a conventional loan, but the repayment will probably be far higher. The risk will almost certainly balloon, as well.

A petition asking for cats that are killed or injured on the roads to be scanned for a microchip in the same way the law requires for dogs will be debated in Parliament this month.
Gizmo’s Legacy is a campaign spearheaded by Helena Abrahams who is originally from Oldham, but now lives in Bury. Helena created the campaign after her cat of 16 years, Gizmo, was hit by a car and euthanised without being checked for her microchip which would have meant proper closure for her owner.
Helena said: “Gizmo went out to play on July 17 2016 and I never saw her again. The law says that dogs have to be scanned for a chip in a road traffic accident, but there is no law for cats and that wasn’t widely known. Gizmo’s Legacy is about changing that to make sure that owners get the chance for closure with their pets because that is so important.”
Currently if a driver runs over a cat they are not legally obligated to report it, which they are with a dog and other animals. Microchipping cats is also not something owners have to do by law like they do with dogs.
Helena started a petition that reached over 100,000 signatures and the group got the good news that it will be debated in Parliament on Monday June 17. Helena will be joined by two Oldham women who have worked on the campaign, Michelle Whitehead and Wendy Andrew. The group has made Gizmo’s Legacy t-shirts for the trip.
They will be handing the petition over to Downing Street at 3pm with the debate taking place at 4.30pm.
Also attending will be Debbie Matthews, daughter of Bruce Forsyth, who created the Vets Get Scanning Appeal, Richard Jordan and Dr Daniel Allen from Pet Theft Awareness and Helena’s local MP for Bury North James Frith.
Helena said: “We are absolutely thrilled to be going to debate. We can’t thank everyone enough for backing the petition. Now we have to make the law happen for all our pets.”

Update 5/9/14: Please click here to read the latest update on this situation.
According to Wednesday's My Fox Phoenix, a dog has been living alone in the backyard of a Mesa, Ariz., home ever since his owner was sent to the hospital in early January.
Neighbors have tossed food into the fenced yard, but after the smell from accumulated feces grew too strong, and sympathy for the neglected dog became overwhelming, they reached out to animal control for assistance. Though an animal control officer left a notice on April 29 for the dog owner to respond to the allegations of animal cruelty an unsanitary conditions, nobody returned to the residence to check on the dog for an additional six days.
The Chow Chow's owner remains in the hospital and she asked someone to care for her dog, but that individual is providing minimal care.
Diane Brady with Mesa Animal Control stated:
You have to understand from the owners perspective; she's in the hospital and cannot do anything to help her dog, so she made accommodations for someone to take care of her dog, and if they're doing that then we cannot remove the dog,
According to residents in the area, that care provider only stops by once every two weeks. Since the animal control agency has declared that the dog cannot be removed for unsanitary conditions, everyone in the area, including the dog, continues to suffer.

The rate of MRSA blood-stream infection was 3.8 per 1000 neonates in the pre-surveillance period and 5.3 per 1000 neonates during the surveillance period. However during the surveillance period all the MRSA blood-stream infections occurred in MRSA-colonized infants while none occurred in the non-colonized infants. Of the infants colonized with MRSA, 30% developed blood-stream infection. Overall, 28 neonates had to be screened to identify one infant colonized with MRSA, with a direct cost of nearly $6000 per detected infant.

Is The Medical Industry Catering To Hypochondriacs?
Most of us know people who we would consider to be hypochondriacs. These people seem to enjoy being sick so much that they often claim to be infected with an illness they have heard someone else is suffering with.
Sometimes they stake claim to an illness because they want the attention they perceive to be gained from those around them who lavish them with sympathy and interest. Other times the hypochondriac may truly convince themselves that they suffer from a disease after learning of the stated symptoms.
The radio and television commercials of today seem to cater to hypochondriacs by bombarding us all with drug after drug to treat the latest, seemingly trendy, “disorder” or “condition.”
You’ve likely heard the commercials that ask you if you are experiencing certain conditions and, “if so,” ask your doctor about their new drug. “Ask your doctor to see if xyz drug is right for you” they typically say.
One recent “disorder” that has received its own commercial is known as “Shift-Work Disorder.” The symptoms are sleepiness, irritability and inability to concentrate. One supposedly develops this “disorder” when working the night shift instead of sleeping. Does this predicament really deserve its own disorder? Is it not common knowledge that if someone doesn’t sleep they’ll become sleepy, cranky and irritable? And isn’t the best “treatment” for this “disorder” a nap? Or if taking a nap is not possible at that moment, how about a cup of coffee? It certainly doesn’t carry the side effects of Nuvigil, a drug that supposedly treats so-called Shift Work Disorder. Its side effects are stated as:
Nuvigil may cause serious side effects including a serious rash or a serious allergic reaction that may affect parts of your body such as your liver or blood cells, and may result in hospitalization and be life-threatening. If you develop a skin rash, hives, sores in your mouth, blisters, swelling, peeling, or yellowing of the skin or eyes, trouble swallowing or breathing, dark urine, or fever, stop taking NUVIGIL and call your doctor right away or get emergency help.
Stop taking NUVIGIL and call your doctor or get emergency help if you get any of the following serious side effects:
- Mental (psychiatric) symptoms, including: depression, feeling anxious, sensing things that are not really there, extreme increase in activity (mania), thoughts of suicide, aggression, or other mental problems
- Symptoms of a heart problem, including: chest pain, abnormal heart beat, and trouble breathing
- Common side effects of NUVIGIL are headache, nausea, dizziness, and trouble sleeping. These are not all the side effects of NUVIGIL. Source
Did you note that those are not even “all” of the side effects of Nuvigil? Give me a “cup ‘a Joe” any day over that list but again ask yourself, when did lack of sleep become a “disorder”? What kind of world do we live in where people can be diagnosed as having a “disorder” when their body is simply reacting to a lack of one of its most basic requirements? This has got to be one of the most obvious cases of the medical industry ignoring the natural cure that is, in this case, known as sleep and carries with it benefits rather than side effects. And drinking coffee, though not without negatives, is certainly safer than yet another side-effect producing drug to add to the 12 prescriptions that the average American already has filled in one year here in medication nation (source).
A hypochondriac would likely watch a commercial for Nuvigil and say to themselves, “I feel sleepy when I’m at work. Therefore I must need Shift-Work Disorder.”
Wikipedia defines Hypochondriasis as “excessive preoccupation or worry about having a serious illness. This debilitating condition is the result of an inaccurate perception of the body’s condition despite the absence of an actual medical condition.”
Note that it says that it is “the result of an inaccurate perception of the body’s condition despite the absence of an actual medical condition.” From a business standpoint, a hypochondriac is a hot prospect. This person believes they have need of a drug or some other treatment even though they don’t have an actual medical condition.
Marketing 101 will teach you that you look for what the consumer wants and then develop a product to give it to them. Toy companies, food companies, cell phone companies and all the others pay large amounts of money to study their market and develop a product for them. Why would we expect less of the medical establishment? They market to us on radio and television, they have to make a profit as well and there are already plenty of stories of pharmaceutical companies bribing doctors to prescribe their drugs, drugs that weren’t tested well enough that were pulled from the market because of the harm that they did and countless other examples of the medical industry behaving like any typical business in that they want to get their product to market as quickly as possible in order to make the most money possible. There’s nothing wrong with trying to make money unless people are being hurt and that is what is happening. So why would it surprise us that the medical industry might be catering to people who really don’t have anything wrong with them? It certainly seems that way. Take note of these so called disorders:
- Shift Work Disorder
- Restless Leg Syndrome
- Orthorexia Nervosa (healthy eating “disorder” where you want to eat healthy all the time)
- Intermittent Explosive Disorder (if you’ve had more than “3 angry episodes in your life”)
- Road Rage Disorder (if you get mad when someone cuts you off in traffic)
- Oppositional Defiance Disorder (when children disobey)
There’s much more to add to this list and it will continue to grow because drug companies have found a way to sell their drugs to people who aren’t really sick thus further padding their foreign bank accounts. And the quickest way to sell drugs is through disease mongering. That is, inventing, then marketing non-existent diseases to a gullible population that has accepted the idea that nearly every human behavior is, apparently, a disease.
Here’s a newsflash, healthy people don’t take drugs. Used for any other reason other than short-term issues, drugs make you sicker and the more drugs you take the more side effects and sickness you’re likely to face in your shortened lifetime.
Do not allow drug commercials to brainwash you into becoming a dream customer for the medical industry. Having a bad day is perfectly normal. Feeling sleepy because you’re working the night shift is perfectly normal. When you’re sitting down and your legs are wanting you to get up, surprise, you’re still normal! You just need what we all need: good nutrition, less stress, more loving relationships and more sunshine. If you disagree and want the attention of having a “disorder” and the man in the white coat to tell you that you’ve got something wrong with you I’m sure there’s a psychiatrist or medical doctor out there willing to invent a disease on your behalf and give you a lifetime supply of liver-killing drugs.
But there’s a better way. If your body and/or mind isn’t feeling as healthy you wish, take a close look at your diet and exercise (or lack thereof). That’s where the real cause of virtually every degenerative disease is really found. You do not have a “deficiency” of brain chemicals or anything else conventional medicine is trying to push on you but certainly doesn’t have a test to prove. Don’t fall for the false authority, the pseudoscience, the psychobabble, the drug pushing and the disease mongering that currently defines modern medicine in the western world.
Get on a good diet high in organic vegetables, drink water that’s been purified of chlorine and fluoride, get a blood test to ensure you are getting enough vitamins and minerals, get plenty of exercise and get a confidant, counselor or prayer partner and you’ll be well on your way to real, disorder-free health.

Liverpool had demolished Southampton 6-1 in the quarter-finals of this competition last season at St Mary's Stadium, but a repeat meeting came in sharp contrast as the hosts defending superbly throughout.
Virgil van Dijk again displayed his class with a strong, composed performance and how Jurgen Klopp will have wished for such a resolute presence in his own defence when Ragnar Klavan's error allowed Redmond to grab a potentially precious goal.
And as ex-Red Luis Suarez was scoring his 100th goal in 120 Barcelona games since leaving Anfield, Klopp's attack also came up short - a half-paced Daniel Sturridge failing to impress on a rare start that is unlikely to be repeated on this evidence.
Phiippe Coutinho emerging from the bench just past the hour after almost two months out with an ankle injury will have warmed visiting hearts as Klopp prepares to unleash the Brazilian at Manchester United in Sunday's return to Premier League action.
That trip to Old Trafford becomes a key fixture for Liverpool, who have fallen into a mini stumble after being held 0-0 by Plymouth Argyle in the FA Cup on Sunday.
The Saints had scored first before being demolished in last season's quarter-final tie and they again struck first, despite Liverpool dominating possession.
Redmond came into the game without a goal in 15 outings and nerves were evident when he took a touch from Cedric Soares' cross, allowing the returning Loris Karius time to smother his shot, but the England Under-21 man atoned a minute later.
Klavan miscued when attempting to cut out Dusan Tadic's pass to Jay Rodriguez, who squared for Redmond to calmly finish across Karius and into the net.
Fraser Forster had earlier been called into action by Roberto Firmino's snapshot, but that was as much as the Reds mustered in 45 minutes, with Coutinho sent to warm up before half-time - perhaps a threat to those on the pitch from Klopp if nothing else - with Karius' razor-sharp reflexes denying Redmond a second and keeping the visitors in it just before the break.
Former Saint Sadio Mane appears to be a sore loss from Liverpool's front line, which lacked its usual zip without the Senegalese on Africa Cup of Nations duty, though Coutinho embarked on a couple of mazy runs after he replaced Georginio Wijnaldum.
As Liverpool's stodgy play continued to let them down, Southampton ought to have doubled their lead when Redmond led a lightning-quick counter-attack from a visiting corner, only for Cedric to slash wide from 12 yards when Rodriguez was supporting him infield.
On another day, Redmond would have single-handedly ended the tie inside 90 minutes and he clipped the crossbar with a late chip - his three misses something to pore over if Liverpool do turn the tables at Anfield in two weeks' time.
Key Opta Stats
o After losing four of their previous five matches against Liverpool (D1), Southampton are now unbeaten in their last three versus the Reds (W2 D1).
o Liverpool have failed to score in consecutive matches (all comps) under Jurgen Klopp for the first time since February 2016 (three games).
o Claude Puel is unbeaten in four clashes with Liverpool as manager (W2 D2).
o Saints have won seven of their last eight League Cup games against sides from the same division; their only defeat coming against Liverpool in last season’s quarter-final (1-6).
o Liverpool have landed just two shots on target in both of their meetings with Southampton this season; only against Man City (1) have they registered fewer in a match this term.
o Nathan Redmond ended a run of 15 games in all competitions without a goal for Southampton.
o Jay Rodriguez provided his first assist in all comps for Southampton since January 2014 vs Arsenal.
o Southampton have kept more clean sheets than any other team in the League Cup this season (4).

Moreover, he seemed to launch a scathing attack on the Zeidan government for its failure to protect embassies, its failure to report results of its investigations, and accused it of negligence in view of the American consulate in Benghazi.
In a statement or edict issued today Dar Al-Fatwa, the highest religious council of Libya, condemned “all attacks that take place throughout Libya, south, east and west, and condemns, in particular, the bombing which happened in the last few days in front of the French Embassy and the physical and moral damage caused by such explosions as well as being an intimidation to people’s safety and security”.
The statement went on to say that it “believes that such an incident – in addition to its serious and complex repercussions on Foreign Affairs – is contrary to the teachings of Islam, which enjoins justice, encourages fulfillment of Covenants and forbids treachery”.
Islam forbids the killing of ambassadors
More pertinently, the statement said that “we must never forget that Almighty Allah and His Messenger forbid the killing of ambassadors, messengers, custodians and covenanters, as well as the killing of Muslims”.
Dar al-Ifta did not, however, absolve the government from responsibility and went as far as to accuse the government of negligence.
Which makes us all wonder the reasons of such negligence..
It noted that while it “deplores what has happened, it calls upon the government and all security agencies to take all necessary measures to prevent the recurrence of such incidents and must make one of their top priorities the provision of intensive security around embassies, which makes us all wonder the reasons of such negligence in providing protection for embassies after what had happened to the American consulate in Benghazi”.
Lack of results from its numerous investigations..
Dar al-Ifta also criticised the government for the lack of results from its numerous investigations.It called “for the launch of serious investigations into the incident and in all the explosions that threaten the security of the country and to declare the results of such investigations in order to determine responsibilities”.
Investigations never seem to come to an end
It then continued and remarked that it was “used to officials launching investigations into criminal matters that seemed to have a beginning but such investigations never seem to come to an end”,.And with regards to corruption, the statement read that “while administrative and financial corruption, they, unfortunately, neither seem to have a beginning, nor an end”.


Judge sentences man who sent pipe bombs to Dems to 20 years
A Florida amateur body builder who admitted sending inoperative pipe bombs to prominent Democrats and CNN has been sentenced to 20 years in prison.
U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff sentenced Cesar Sayoc after he pleaded guilty to explosives charges for mailing 16 pipe bombs days before the midterm elections last fall.
The one-time stripper and pizza delivery man from Aventura, Florida, apologized to his victims, saying he is "so very sorry for what I did."

There is no excuse for being stuck for a good read at Congham Hall.
As part of a major refurbishment programme a new library has been created where guests have the chance to sit and read.
But there were two walls of empty bookcases that needed attention and it was agreed to ask guests to donate any unwanted books.
In return the hall’s owners would make a donation to the MS Society.
The initiative was advertised in a quarterly newsletter and the response was overwhelming.
The Wanstead and Snarebrook Rotary Club donated 200 books alone.
Club member David Etherton saw the newsletter and as the MS Society was also his club’s chosen charity, decided to support the appeal.
The club set about getting as many books as they could which were presented to the hall. In return a £400 cheque was given to representatives of the King’s Lynn MS Society.
The event was also supported by members of the King’s Lynn Rotary Club.
Any books not used for the new library have also been donated to the Lynn MS Society.
For more information about the MS Society, see www.mssociety.org.uk

Batapora villagers suffer in absence of bridge
Raja Syed Rather
Ganderbal, Jan 19 (KNO): The residents of Batapora Kalas-Pati village of Rayil in Kangan area of Ganderbal district are facing immense hardships due to absence of a bridge over Nallah Sindh
Residents of Pathribal,Balti Mohalla and Theekhri Mohalla said everyday they walk over a makeshift wooden bridge to cross the Nallah Sindh to reach the nearest market.
“The only wish of the people in the area is better road communication – a bridge over the Nallah Sindh – as it will end one of their major problems,” locals said, as per the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO).
A local villager said it becomes extremely difficult for the people to cross the Nallah Sindh, which swells up during the rainy and winter season.
Locals disclosed that every year, they construct a temporary bridge over the stream but during the rainy and winter season the gushing waters wash away the bridge, leaving people with no option to cross the Nallah Sindh.
“During rains and winter season the area remains cut off from the rest of the Ganderbal district,” they said.
The residents said that several people over the years have lost their lives due to lack of a connecting link, as they could not get timely medical attention.
“Had there been a bridge, several people would have survived,” they said, adding “only we know how we risk our lives every time we cross the Nallah Sindh during the winter season.”
Locals appealed LG and DC Ganderbal to look into the matter—(KNO)

Hello and welcome to another edition of Substack Reads, your weekly digest of great writing and writers to fall in love with.
Which writers on Substack are you obsessed with this week? Anyone new to Substack you can’t get enough of? Share your favorite writers, podcaster, and their posts here in a comment...
And if you haven’t already, please take our reader survey, to tell us what you’d like to see more (and less) of on Substack Reads in the future: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/K7RR2GX
I have nothing against art (I do landscape photography myself), but Substack Reads is over-promoting meta art content (essays about art, cartoons, paintings) on a platform about writing and learning! A lot of space is squandered that could highlight a broader array of content on the platform. There should be a meta section on Writing (essays about writing), yes. Not cartoons. Not painting. Not photography. Margaret Atwood's hilarious piece on dust-ups with trade editors should have been in this issue. I feel like there is no 'plan' (one based on the math of what is actually read) for Substack Reads and it feels like a dilettantish personal selection from Substack editors who live in NY and are into art.
Love all these recs! Here’s mine for recently launched: my newsletter, the Doomer Dispatch, strives to make climate change news accessible and interesting to a younger or less climate-inclined audience. I try to spur doomers into doers by keeping them informed and engaged every Friday. Thanks!
Love Laura Pashby’s Substack! So glad that she received a recommendation here ♥
Lots of great reads, as usual👍
From the past week, here are a few pieces I thought were fantastic:
Facebook is toast, probably, even though there is a solution (but Substack have discovered it!):
And this was a bruising and morally clear- eyed read on the USAand Vietnam:
As was this by Timothy Snyder:
Are there any fellow Finnish expats out here? Would love to read and follow.
It’s always nice and refreshing to see a new group every week with very diverse topics. Can’t wait to dig into some of these authors.
Thank you so much for the feature! ⭐
These are all great! I write I'm Really Very Literary, a slice-of-life-newsletter where I offer a peak into life's questions big and small and how the things I read and listen to inspire creativity and thought. I'm inspired by those going paid this week! I've been contemplating how I might offer premium content to my readers.
Substack is the first platform I’ve been excited about in a DECADE. Personally I love that community is building around more niche topics. I’ve just deleted Instagram and never enjoyed Twitter, Substack feels calming in a way those platforms just continually felt like dopamine hits. I love that I can write about style, life and art alongside the greatest writers of our time.
If you enjoy style please subscribe to mine > Camillanazeri.subtack.com x
Interested on a nuanced take on AA?
I'm proud of myself for embedding an audio interview for the first time! https://teendramawhore.substack.com/p/kelly-martinez-interview-teen-dramas
I loved this chocolately Substack - sensory overwhelm in chocolate right there - https://open.substack.com/pub/suequinn/p/orgasmic-chocolate-and-a-delicious?r=506nf&utm_medium=ios&utm_campaign=post
Thank you for these posts. I never know what I’m going to write about. This Saturday morning I woke up thinking about work ethics and decided to write a little something therein. Substack makes this easy and personal. My message is delivered to my subscriber list and makes its way to other sources, first is all, Substack. Hope you check me out.
Substack has so many surprise turns and suddenly shocking tour guides it reminds me of visits to the Fun House at the San Francisco beach when I was a child. Thanks.
Wow, love this edition - the experience of this curation is like looking through a few different windows, or maybe the pools of Narnia and you can glimpse and keep walking or you can jump in to experience that world.

Created by French company ‘New Wind‘ the trees are amazing feats of engineering but more importantly they also hit the mark in one area that wind turbines often fall down – they are beautiful to look at.
The Aeroleaves are completely silent when spinning and can generate power from winds as slow as 5 mph. It can generate power from wind coming in at any direction.
The trees emulate the grace of real shrubbery, reminding you that nature is king, but taking ideas from nature to create beautiful and useful pieces of equipment that not only look great but help the environment.
A single Aeroleaves tree can provide around 3.1 KW which is enough power 15 street lamps for a year.The first wind trees were installed in Paris.
The steel tree stands 36 feet tall by 26 feet in diameter. Each tree has 72 artificial wind turbine leaves.Aside from generating power it also stands as a piece of modern art.
The wind tree is designed to withstand a category 3 hurricane.Cost $36,500 which they say will pay for itself after only a few years.We think the future of renewable energy lies in these clever ideas which doesn’t stamp on natures ties, but works along side it in perfect harmony.

Surgery sidelines Dees AFL star Jack Viney
Melbourne star Jack Viney's foot injury will keep him sidelined for up to six weeks in a major blow to the Demons' AFL finals hopes.
Viney had surgery on a plantar fascia injury on Monday afternoon after pulling up sore in Friday night's loss to Sydney at the MCG.
The setback means the Demons will be without their co-captains for an extended period, with Nathan Jones (quad) still facing another month on the sidelines.
"Jack had an operation this afternoon to release his plantar fascia," Demons football boss Josh Mahoney said.
"This has been an injury that he has been carrying for the majority of the season.
"We expect his recovery from this operation to be approximately four to six weeks, based on how quickly his foot can be reloaded post-operation."
Jesse Hogan, Jack Watts, Jeff Garlett and Christian Salem are also on the injury list, while Tom Bugg is facing a lengthy suspension for his ugly hit on Sydney's Callum Mills.
Hogan and Garlett are each a slim chance to return to face Carlton on Sunday but Watts is set to miss at least another week with his hamstring injury after suffering a setback at training.
Midfielder Dom Tyson faces a fitness test after injuring his knee against the Swans.
The sixth-placed Dees face major tests against Adelaide, Port Adelaide and Greater Western Sydney over the next month.

How to Grow: Ferns
Learn about growing ferns in your garden, including unusual varieties to grow.
Listen to podcast:
Part sun, part shade, full shade
Bloom Period and Seasonal Color
Grown mostly for their green ferns. Some ferns turn a golden color in fall
Mature Height x Spread
1 to 4 feet x 1 to 3 feet
Fall color, native, deer resistant
New England woodlands and shady areas are loaded with native ferns. They are so ubiquitous in our region; we often overlook them as garden plants. Ferns create a green understory in the forest and fill in shade gardens providing color and texture, often where little else can grow. From the small maidenhair fern to the tall cinnamon fern, the diversity of this group of plants is impressive. Some are clump forming, while others spread by fibrous roots. Given shade and moist soil conditions ferns can spread to fill in a garden or understory in a woodland, sometimes becoming too aggressive for a small space garden. Some ferns even have edible shoots in spring and others attractive fronds that can be used in arrangements.
Where, When and How to Plant
Ferns are hardy throughout New England. Ferns grow best in a part or full shade area with consistently moist soil. Some ferns will grow well in part sun given enough water. Divide ferns in spring from a friend’s garden or purchase them from a garden center. Plant ferns from spring to early summer. Ferns can tolerate low fertility soil and most grow best in slightly acidic soil. Plant ferns on well-drained, humus-rich soil amended with peat moss and compost. Space plants anywhere from 1 to 3 feet apart.
Once established in the right location, ferns need little care. Keep the soil moist and heavily amended with organic matter, such as peat moss, to encourage the fern roots to spread.
Regional Advice and Care
In the shade, ferns will out compete other weeds and flowers so they’re a good ground cover plant. They also will outcompete your perennial flowers so don’t let them overrun an area. Divide ferns in early spring to create more plants to share and to keep them in bounds. Cut back the fern foliage in fall after a frost. Mulch ferns with pine needles to keep the soil consistently moist and acidic.
Companion Planting and Design
Ferns pair well with many other shade loving perennials such as hosta, astilbes, bleeding heart, lungwort, and violas. They also can be allowed to naturally spread under the canopy of deciduous trees such as maples.
Japanese painted fern varieties, such as “Ursula Red”, are popular, 1-foot tall ferns with red and silver leaf coloring. They can grow in part sun. Cinnamon ferns grow 3 to 5 feet tall with dark green fronds turning to a golden color in fall. They produce cinnamon colored fronds that appear like flower stalks. Ostrich ferns grow to 4 to 5 feet tall and have edible, unfurled fronds in spring can be eaten as fiddleheads. Maidenhair ferns only grow 1 foot tall and have elegant, bright, green, finger-like fronds with shiny, black stems. Christmas ferns have 2-foot tall, upright, evergreen fronds often used in holiday decorations.
Excerpted from my book, New England Getting Started Garden Guide.
This plant is millions of years old, predating dinosaurs. It’s name means feathers because it has divided and delicate leaves. Historically people has believed this plant can provide good luck, protect you from lightning and give you magical qualities such as invisibility. What common plant is this? It’s the fern.
We tend to overlook ferns in the landscape because they’re so common. We have many beautiful native ferns in our forests. Many ferns are great additions to shade gardens for their leaf texture and aggressive growth. While many gardeners know of the ostrich fern (for harvesting fiddleheads), maidenhair fern and deer fern, there are others that are more rare.
The cinnamon fern is a 3- to 4-foot tall, shade lover known, not just for its lush green leaves, but the cinnamon colored fronds that emerge in June. It gives this fern a flowering look, which of course, ferns don’t do because they reproduce by spores.
Many gardeners are familiar with the low growing, Japanese Painted fern for its showy, silvery leaves. A hybrid version, called ‘Bradford Beauty’, is a cross between a painted fern and a lady fern. It features 2 foot tall plants with silver leaves and red stems. It brightens up any dark spot in the garden.
‘Dre’s Dagger’ is a dwarf lady fern that grows 18 inches tall. It features striking, criss-crossed fern leaves with crested tips.
There are even ferns that grow well in full sun, such as ‘Sun Maiden’. This 1 to 3 foot tall maidenhair fern hybrid loves the light. Also, there is a climbing fern. This rare fern can twine up to 8 feet tall and grows in wet, acidic conditions.
And now for this week’s tip, if you are giving or getting cut flowers for Valentine’s Day, remember to re-cut the stems under water, place them in warm water changing it every few days, and mix in some sugary solution, such as 7-up soda, and an acidifier, such as apple cider vinegar, to help the flowers last longer.

Leno makes his primetime debut
The new nightly Jay Leno Show, broadcast at 10pm on NBC, is based on much of the old Tonight Show with Jay Leno, which aired at 11.35pm nightly on the same network.
Viewers late on Monday night watched Leno deliver a 10 minute opening-monologue, as part of what his fans would have seen as a very familiar routine, which included his ‘Headlines’ comedy news-clippings slot.
There were new elements, most of which trade mag ‘Variety’ didn’t much care for. A celebrity interview with Jerry Seinfeld also helped (and delivered the best line, saying “In the '90s, when we quit a show, we actually left"). Leno’s near-trademark desk has gone to be replaced by a pair of easy chairs for his interview spot.
Leno and his team have the rest of this week to bed the show in, but the other networks have their new shows airing next week when the competition really begins.

Oke thanks for replying! Very helpfull stuff.
Yesterday I smoked cheese, garlic, nuts and salt.
* I must say, that I peronally don't care for the smoked nuts. The smoke gives it some what of a sour after taste.
*I love the smoked salt. It's a great flavour addition to my herbs and spices collection.
*I understand that I have to rest the cheese, but right of the smoke the smoke flavour is some what over powering. Maybe I smoked it for to long.
* I think the garlic has to be smoked for a lot longer than 5 hours. I had some in France and its was great, but mine are not as heavily smoke.
Thanks for the help you guys, you gave plenty more ideas for cold smoking! I will be launching video's about it soon.


A spider clock has been aptly named Arachnophobia and makes reference to the Maman, the spider sculpture created by the iconic artist Louise Bourgeois has been unveiled.
The design behind the very unique clock and mechanism is very interesting all the same.
The spider clock measures 40.5 cm tall and 20.3 cm across when its legs are extended and the gold plated version weighs in at nearly 2kg. The legs of the spider are constructed from injection moulded aluminium and are fitted with ball and socket joints to allow owners to create the perfect spider pose. Gizmag explains more :
To create the movement Geneva-based horologist Maximilian Büsser, founder of MB&F, worked with Swiss manufacturer L’Epée 1839 to adapt one of the manufacturer’s clock movements to be shaped like a spider’s torso and head. White numerals showing hours and minutes are inscribed on the spider body’s black dome. At one end of the time-displaying torso, the head houses the regulator with its balance wheel while the other end holds the power-generating mainspring. The head also bears the index mechanism.
The Arachnophonia spider clock is available now from specialist retailers with the black version priced at CHF 15,300 or $15,700. While the gold-plated version is priced at CHF 17,500 or $18,000.


Real estate development firm Foulger-Pratt intends to build a five-story self-storage facility in the Eckington neighborhood of Washington, D.C. The company is under contract to purchase a narrow, 0.85-acre lot at 72 Florida Ave. N.E., with plans to replace the former Herson Glass building with a 144,067-square-foot storage project. Though the facility can be built as high as 148,540 square feet by right, the developer must still undergo a large-tract review because the project’s gross floor area exceeds 50,000 square feet, according to the source.
The storage facility would include a large mural on the exterior wall facing Florida Avenue. The site, wedged between two properties owned by XM Satellite Radio, is near several hotel, residential and retail projects that are either in the planning phase or under construction. The neighborhood development boom includes a bevy of small, multi-family residential units, the source reported.
Though the glass company closed two years ago, the property has been owned by the Herson Family for nearly 90 years. The existing single-story structure is rented by development firm The Bush Cos., which is using it as a leasing center for a 182-unit Lexicon condominium complex it’s building nearby.
Foulger-Pratt is also developing a mixed-use property including residential and retail space in Eckington. Founded in 1963, the company specializes in mixed-use, transit-oriented projects throughout the Washington, D.C., metro area, according to its website. It has developed more than 15 million square feet of commercial office, multi-family residential and retail space.

Elderly St Albans man conned of thousands by phone fraudsters
- Credit: Archant
An elderly St Albans man was conned into transferring thousands of pounds worth of savings to fraudsters, leading Herts Police to step up warnings about scam calls.
The incident took place on Tuesday, April 7, when the man in his 60s, was called by a woman and man claiming to be from his bank.
They convinced him that his bank account had been accessed and persuaded him to transfer everything in his account into another one, held by fraudsters.
DI Pete Frost, from the St Albans Local Crime Unit, said: “As anyone can appreciate, having thousands of pounds of your hard-earned cash stolen has a devastating effect and it is therefore vitally important we keep raising awareness of such scams to prevent anyone else falling victim to these ruthless fraudsters.
“The key message to take away is that if you receive a telephone call you’re not expecting you should be suspicious.
“Do not be afraid to end the call. The police and banks would NEVER ask you to transfer money from one account to another over the telephone.”
Herts Police advises people to remember that neither the police nor banks would ask for bank details or PIN numbers over the phone or for people to withdraw money and send it via a courier, taxi or other means.

Buy sculptures - art gallery Artvie provides the best opportunities
At ARTVIE we really enjoy sculptures. They add depth and dimension to art. They add tactile feel which paintings (gouache or oil) cannot. Sculptures allow people to feel the artwork, rather than simply looking at it. Through the tactile feel of a bronze sculpture, one can feel the cuteness in an animal. Joy or distress can also be felt through the sharp angles or smooth curves of a figurative sculpture.
At ARTVIE we offer plenty of sculptures for sale. They come in various shapes, sizes, themes and materials. For the best quality, we prefer bronze or marble as a material. Bronze is a traditional material that has been used throughout the world and for many centuries. The technique of casting bronze, called the lost wax method has been used and improved over centuries, and is still used to this day. The Lost Wax method is a favourite among many sculptors. Marble on the other hand, cannot be cast, but must be worked on by hand. It is a difficult yet impressive and rewarding process. Essentially, this means that every marble sculpture will unique, while bronze sculptures come in editions. Both materials allow sculptors to create amazing very detailed and captivating sculptures. Moreover, bronze and marble are materials that allow for far more artistic expression that vinyl or other materials and will far better stand the test of time. One only needs to enter a museum to understand how long marble and bronze sculptures can last without much decay.
Sculptures also offer a sensation of movement and freedom that other mediums fail to portray. Taking sculptures by the Belgian female artist Nancy Vuylsteke de Lapss as an example, her art gives the impression of flow, of movement and beautifully portrays the human body and spirit. Bronze Animals sculptures are also a favourite in the art world, and in our online art gallery. Sculptures beautifully capture a moment in time, an action, and thus can portray complex scenes. A great example would be the incredible bronze bears by award winning French sculptor Michel Bassompierre, which are available on our website.
One of the other advantages of the bronze sculptures we have for sale are their versatility. Due to the use of Bronze, they can be places inside or outside. Such sculptures do not fear the outdoors and can therefore be used as a beautiful talking piece in anyone’s garden. We hope you enjoy the selection of sculptors we have for sale. Do not hesitate to contact us for any further information.

Migration overhaul required – Government busy with review
According to a new report titled ‘Skills, Growth and Borders: Managing migration in South Africa’s national interest’, there is a need for a basic change in the migration policy of South Africa, so as to address the current skills crisis in the country. According to the study, measures such as improving domestic education and training systems will not be enough to deal with a worsening local situation.
The study, which was done by the Centre for Development and Enterprise (CDE), a local social research group, prescribes a reformulation of immigration policy by shifting away from the present focus on controlling immigration to a situation which more closely addresses growth targets in the South African economy.
The underlying finding of the report is that South African economic ministries should have more say in immigration policy, as opposed to the present situation in which the departments of Home Affairs and Labour are responsible for the formulation of policy.
According to executive director Ann Bernstein, the South African government’s growth target of 7% cannot be achieved without “a rapid infusion” of foreign skills, as well as the opening up of the country to “very large numbers of skilled immigrants”.
The report contends that the skills shortage is even worse than government has admitted, exceeding the estimated 502 000 person shortage published by the Department of Labour in 2008. A further contention of the report is that the present quota permit system is too expensive and cumbersome, and is also too narrow in its scope of operation.
According to Bernstein, the quota system relies on bureaucrats to determine current skills shortages in detail based on historical data, and due to inadequate consultation processes, this often results in the neglect of emerging skills. The report states that the quota system is archaic and under-utilised. The quota system allows skilled migrants to enter the country without a firm job offer, on the basis of the necessary skills that they hold. As an example, in 2008 36 000 permits were granted, but only 1 133 were actually taken up, despite a skills shortage of 500 000 people. ”
In a country desperate for skilled people, spending effort on predicting the precise skills needs of a dynamic market economy is a complete waste of time and money,” Bernstein says.
Although he was unable to comment on the report, which he had not yet seen, Home Affairs spokesperson Ronnie Mamoepa told Engineering News Online that the department had already instigated an extensive review of the present policy.
Mamoepa commented that Home Affairs Minister Dr Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma has already indicated that the new policy will attempt to segregate economic migration and asylum seeking, and that the consultation process has already started. Primary consultations involved the Congress of South African Trade Unions and Business Unity South Africa, but more consultation is envisaged in the first half of 2011. The new policy will be presented to Parliament for discussion.
The CDE hopes that the report will play a role in an admittedly “complex” discussion, in which the economic advantages of a freer dispensation need to be weighed against security, social and crime-prevention issues. Even so, Bernstein claims that is important for South Africa to leave behind the “fortress South Africa” mentality, and also amend a quota policy that is “flawed and misguided”.
According to Bernstein, South Africa needs to “stop playing victim in the global war for talent” and be more competitive. ”We must go beyond filling existing skills gaps in large companies.
We urgently need immigrants to revitalise our faltering public health, education and skills production systems, and to boost innovation and entrepreneurship,” Bernstein says.
The CDE also wants a “pathway” to be instituted that will allow unskilled “irregular” immigrants from Southern African Development Community countries to make their status legal in South Africa. ”
A legal migrant population would be easier to manage than an unknown, underground one,” the report states, and then goes on to add that legalising these immigrants would also allow their entrepreneurial energy to be utilised, as many of them may establish up job-creating enterprises and pay tax.

Zoledronic acid: a review of its use in the treatment of osteoporosis.
Drugs Aging. 2008;25(11):963-86
Authors: Deeks ED, Perry CM
Zoledronic acid (Aclasta; Reclast), a third-generation nitrogen-containing bisphosphonate, is the first once-yearly treatment to have been approved for use in patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis or at high risk of fracture. Intravenous zoledronic acid 5 mg once yearly is effective in reducing the risk of several types of fracture in patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis or recent low-trauma hip fracture. Moreover, improvements in bone mineral density (BMD) and reductions in markers of bone turnover are also generally observed. Zoledronic acid is generally well tolerated. Additional comparative data are required to definitively position zoledronic acid with respect to other agents. In the meantime, intravenous zoledronic acid 5 mg once yearly is a convenient and effective treatment option that may have an advantage over some other agents, for which adherence to treatment regimens is a recognized problem.
