Dino d'Santiago is the name to drop in the new Portuguese music scene where his track Nova Lisboa has become that city's anthem. Picking up where groups like Buraka Som Sistema left off (he provides a stand out vocal track on Buraka's Branko's new album). Dino uses rhythms, mixed for modern dancefloors with hand-played instruments and electronics, and lyrics in both Creole and Portuguese, connecting different Portuguese-speaking communities around Lisbon with the wider world.
A Portuguese singer of Cape Verdean descent, in his album Mundu Nôbu, Dino pulls in styles from across the Portuguese-speaking world: Mozambique, Cape Verde, Angola, Guinea, São Tomé and also Brazil. On Mundu Nôbu D'Santiago worked with Seiji, an English producer who made his name in the club scene in the 1990s, writer-producer-engineer Rusty Santos - who has previously worked with Animal Collective and DJ Rashad - and Kalaf and Branko, of Buraka Som Sistema, a Portuguese group that helped bring Angolan kuduro to a European audience and popularised a fusion dubbed zouk bass.

Karen Gillan flaunts her enviably long legs and petite waistline in cute trend-led dungaree shorts at LAX airport
There aren't many women who can pull off dungaree shorts.
But actress Karen Gillan looked gorgeous when she stepped out in a pair on Sunday afternoon.
And as she made her way through LAX airport, the actress proudly paraded her enviably long legs in the denim piece.
Scroll down for video
Not many women can pull that off: Actress Karen Gillan looked gorgeous when she stepped out in a pair of dungaree shorts on Sunday afternoon
The confident star also decided to showcase her petite waistline as she strutted past by completing her look with a white crop top.
Keeping in line with her low-key look, she was also sporting a blue hooded jumper and a pair of white trainers.
For her journey, Karen noticeably opted to travel completely makeup-free - which of course accentuated her natural beauty.

If you've got it: The confident star also decided to flaunt her petite waistline as she strutted past by completing her look with a white crop top
Despite her incredible success with Dr Who and Guardians Of The Galaxy, the actress recently suffered a career setback when sitcom Selfie was cancelled by ABC in November after it pulled in underwhelming ratings.
While critics were reportedly impressed by the performance given by Karen, the show opened to mixed reviews as audiences failed to show interest in the weeks that followed.
The network had already ordered the first 13 episodes of the comedy show and it is thought that they will continue to be aired on Tuesday nights but they have announced that they will not be ordering any additional episodes.
News of the show’s cancellation did not come as a huge surprise after it was agreed by critics that the show was 'vapid' and 'poorly written'.
Hard times: The actress recently suffered a career setback when sitcom Selfie was cancelled by ABC in November after it pulled in underwhelming ratings
However, the British star was been praised for her 'charisma, charm and near-faultless American accent'.
Using a similar plot to Pygmalion and My Fair Lady, the series follows the life of Eliza Dooley, a modern day version of Eliza Doolittle.
She is obsessed with becoming famous through selfies and Instagram until she realises that she needs real-life friends rather than online ones.
After the humiliating breakup of her relationship is made public, Eliza finds that she has more online followers that she ever imagined but for all the wrong reasons.
Already proven herself: Despite the recent hitch in her career, Karen has so far enjoyed incredible success thanks to her roles in Dr Who and Guardians Of The Galaxy

The microflora of 55 patients with leprosy skin ulcers was studied and related to a weighted inflammatory score (IS). The control group consisted of 18 ulcers with different underlying pathology. Leprosy ulcers were characterized by the exclusive presence of two types of branching gram-positive rods; a particular interesting proposal is that Mycobacterium leprae share common antigens with these unusual "leprosy ulcer associated" organisms and group G beta-hemolytic streptococci. In the leprosy group, corynebacteria and branching rods accounted for 97% of gram-positive bacilli and Bacillus species constituted only 3%. In the control group, B. species formed 50% of gram-positive rods; the rest were corynebacteria (p = 0.03). In the leprosy group, one third of the gram-positive bacteria were branching rods; none of them was acid fast. Ten of them were identified as Arcanobacterium haemolyticum, and the remaining 7 could not be identified. The IS of leprosy patients was lower than in the control group. The presence of more than two species of facultative or aerobic gram-negative rods or single species of pyogenic gram-positive cocci correlated with a high IS. The presence of two or more different pyogenic cocci resulted in a lower IS. Further studies into the nature of leprosy-unique organisms as well as the inflammation inhibition factors in mixed infections are warranted. It is recommended that management of ulcers should consist of the application of local disinfection and early treatment of episodes of inflammation with a combination of fluoroquinolone and penicillin.

Two years ago, a young man appeared on the Voice and it was mentioned that he is the son of popular Iraqi hit-maker Hatem El Iraqi. The name is Qusai Hatem and he is out with a new music video that sounds straight from the streets of Baghdad.
Rotana financed this music video for the young artists who spends a great deal of time running and doing corny things people in love do. I think this is supposed to be a big hit for the young artist. I like the location where this has been filmed, I just do not get what's special about this young man.
The lyrics are cheap and lack that clever thing, there is nothing original here. We have seen this music video thousand time before. I want Qusai to excel and do just fine, I think he can do better if he wants to come near what his own father has accomplished.

"Great sound. Not built to last in tough environments."
This reviewer purchased this item from Same Day Music.
I think this unit does a really great job on sound quality. I used it on an electric guitar that I thought sounded great without making any adjustments. I also tried the G50 version on a bass guitar. I doubled it up with a wire and A/B switched between the wire and wireless at my FOH console and I could not tell the difference.
I like the 1/4" input jack. That is rare on wireless gear. 6 channel options on a bottom line unit is impressive too. 100'+ range. Light weight. Tx clip can turn 90deg - although it has a gripping tooth that sticks into the plastic unit, so you end up with a little damage when sliding the clip off. The manual does not explain anything beyond basic set up which you could figure out without a manual.
Ease of Use:
Very very easy to get up and running. Could use an explaination of how to switch the clip 90deg before you end up damaging the unit. And which way do the batteries go in? It is labeled, but not very clearly. I wasn't even sure if the label was a label or not. I have several stage managers that take care of battery replacement and it's just not clear compared to other systems we have.
I really thought this would be a fabulous unit and had planned on a total purchase of 3 of these. I initially only bought one to try out, but after getting it into my hands I just felt it would not hold up physically to the demands of a live production stage environment. The battery compartement door will be the first thing to break. Then the select switches. I returned the unit and purchased the model up (G50).
I've delt with a lot of Line6 products (Kedney bean, LiveXT, amps, and now this) and have never needed service/support for any of them.
I think this is a great product at a great price. Prior to this I had been using a wireless system that cost more, was more difficult to set up, and I have to be careful with frequency coordination. This is easier, cheaper, and sounds as good. Depends on what you are using this for, if it's a personaly item that you will take care of, this is a great piece of gear.

So far, we’ve had two previous articles in this series:
In Part 1 - Background – we set the stage for the debate with some background on why IP has started to make its way into historically closed and proprietary AMI meter networks.
In Part 2 – The Case for IPv6 we gave the IPv6 evangelists in our group a chance to make their case for mandating the newer protocol in the solution.
In this part 3 of the series we had planned to have a discussion of public addressability but instead we’ve opted to try and draw some conclusions from the group.
Apples and Oranges
They look very similar on the surface, but it can be notoriously difficult to make meaningful comparisons across AMI projects that exist in different geographic, regulatory and business environments.
The driving factors behind a significant technical decision may be completely absent in an otherwise very similar AMI implementation resulting in a different technical solution.
It is for these reasons that we decided to give each member of the group a chance to “sum up” their point of view instead of trying to synthesize a single conclusion that all of us could agree on.
We hope that this approach will provide the best coverage of the many factors that influenced this debate.
To avoid accusations of favouritism I’ve ordered the opinions by contributor’s last name. J
Let's first summarise the benefits of IPv6 as outlined in the previous post:
- More efficient and lower latency as it requires no address translation;
- Security designed in from the start;
- Supports many more addresses than IPv4; and
- IPv6 eventually replaces IPv4 and is thus more future proof.
In my view the efficiency gains are likely to be of limited benefit to AMI applications as there are usually no stringent latency requirements (unlike in SCADA systems for example). Furthermore the security solutions that have been designed around IPv4 are good enough, have been standardised and are now implemented by most vendors. AMI devices are unlikely to be addressable on the public Internet and any one system is unlikely to exceed the IPv4 private network space; the address space limitations of IPv4 are therefore not a significant concern.
At some point equipment manufacturers will start to drop support for IPv4. The previous post argues that this will be later rather than earlier and I agree, especially as far as networking equipment is concerned. But what about end points i.e. meters or in home communication modules? It is not clear when manufacturers will start to offer IPv6 only versions. My personal view is that this is still some way off. There are too many installed networks. Producing IPv6 only devices will not save a significant amount on manufacturing cost and limit the market into which devices can be sold.
Given the arguments above, mandating IPv6 is not necessary when procuring an AMI solution today. The risk of inflating costs by excluding cost effective and well-tested solutions outweighs the technical benefits. On the other hand, IPv6 is the future and does have some benefits. I would therefore include IPv6 as a selection criterion, but not assign much weight to it.
This position will need to be revised and I can see the weighting assigned to the IPv6 criterion increasing over time until it becomes a mandatory requirement in 5 to 10 years time.
I like new things – the shinier the better – and IPv6 has lots of new “things” many of which we’ve discussed in this series. There is no doubt in my mind that IPv6 will be better than IPv4 and that it will continue to slowly replace IPv4 as the dominant protocol.
However, “new” in the software domain is generally regarded as a “bad thing” most notably from the security and reliability perspectives.
That’s not a criticism of today’s developers or the software development life cycle – just an observation that has been proven time and time again. The only way to identify and fix the defects that are guaranteed to exist in new software is to have it used as widely as possible for as long as possible.
IPv4 implementations have been subject to some of the most extensive production usage possible and there are still bugs being identified in code paths that have not been touched for years.
IPv6 has only just started on this journey and it is going to be a bumpy one – made worse by the amount of new firmware involved in the embedded and AMI world. Every device that is going to participate in the new IPv6 network will contain new firmware implementations of the IPv6 stack. There will be conflicting vendor interpretations of the standard, software and interoperability defects and revisions as IPv6 deployment grow. Delivering fixes to all of these firmware images and maintaining the requisite configuration management across the inventory of AMI meters will be a challenge.
To mitigate these risks I would defer the introduction of IPv6 software on the AMI meter for as long as possible.
How long is that?
The answer depends on whether the AMI meter vendor offers a viable upgrade path that will allow the move to IPv6 once the velocity of defect discovery has settled down to an acceptable level.
If there is an upgrade path via firmware update delivered over-the-air (OTA) then I would be happy to leave IPv6 out of the meter selection mandatory criteria.
On the other hand if the vendor does not offer an upgrade path then the risk of deploying meters with new and relatively untested firmware has to be measured against deploying meters that will remain on IPv4 for their useful life e.g. ten years.
IPv6 is essential to the success of future smart metering AMI solutions. When considering the long-term future, several core technical aspects demand more attention than they do with today's AMI needs whereby IPv4 is deemed adequate. The driving change forces behind the next generation of AMI solution will be:
- Internet of Things
- Security; and
- Distributed architecture.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is the next edition of the Internet itself some call it Web 3.0. The definition for this next generation of the Internet has evolved and changed from what we saw it as just five years ago. It is still an immersive environment, but not one based upon avatars and games whereby the user is emulated within the simulated virtual world. It is now a real world scenario whereby the user is immersed within their own physical environment and the devices surrounding them wrap the user in a dynamic bubble that maps and remaps as they move about their daily chores. In this same way, the IoT will make and break machine-to-machine relationships on demand and generate dynamic connections when needed to fulfill a request or a requirement. In the AMI environment, this will manifest as meters communicating with other meters, controllers, sensors and devices (or things) that share data. These things effectively move from a model that shares simple data towards one of information exchange and derived knowledge that is used to save energy, manage costs, control the smart home, and make lives better. Ultimately, we will migrate from this reactive knowledge world to one based upon predictive wisdom within the fabric of the AMI network.
Once you connect all of these things together, these ad-hoc networks pose a new potential risk. Therefore a new level of security and protection of data and privacy is necessary. The threat is serious. If someone could attack your immersive bubble wrapping around you and your family as well as the myriad devices within the fabric of your IoT model, then they may be able to do harm or control aspects of life or your environment that are undesired. Protecting against such intrusions is therefore essential. The IoT needs to operate within a trusted DMZ. The AMI solution needs to be protected within this same trusted DMZ so as to avoid these same risks and to ensure that these AMI devices and things can function as expected within a safe and protected environment.
In order for all of these changes to take place, then we will see a change to the fundamental architecture to the web itself and therefore by extension to the AMI network. We will move from a centralized model to a distributed model. The new model will share both client/sever designs as well as peer-to-peer designs in a hybrid approach. It will become autonomous and create many mini webs and not just one massive Internet. It will be a web of webs numbering into the billions. A hybrid architecture that is mostly distributed in nature will result.
It is for these key drivers that we must have IPv6. The number of connections will explode exponentially as the number of devices will be in the many billions. IPv4 cannot support this volume of IP addresses. Next generation AMI networks need to have security and privacy by design built-in to the fabric of the addressing schema that only IPv6 can provide and not simply a bolt-on after-thought approach like IPv4 employs today. With the change to the core architecture, the biggest change will come with the loss of a centralized approach, which is depended upon heavily by today's IPv4 designs. The core needs of Network Address Translation (NAT) and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) servers will change dramatically and IPv4 will not be able to support this new model for the dynamic wrap around web. Only IPv6 can meet these future needs.
I am asked this question on a regular basis when I take questions after presentations about emerging Internet of Things technologies.
I am quite clear on the answer for the general IoT case, and more so for the case of AMI network infrastructure: IPv4 is quite sufficient. Through the use and re-use of reserved networks such as 10/8, we're never going to run out of addresses.
My first observation is that there are enough risks to the security of Smart Metering systems, without having them all publicly addressable and routable. Hiding them behind a diodic NAT gateway at least keeps them safe from prying eyes, port-scans, ping discovery, and most DOS attacks. For situations where a HES needs to gain direct access to an AMI device, private networks, either physical, or virtual using VPNs, enable host computer systems and AMI devices to appear to be on the same network enough to give the access required.
Secondly, the world is moving away from thinking about connectivity at the Network Services layer, and moving up the stack to the Application Services layer (OSI layer 4). This way of thinking brings the physical instantiation of a system closer to the mental model of the solution architect and implementer. Enterprise Messaging and other middleware messaging paradigms enable applications to talk to other applications, and more importantly allow the implementers to think about the solution in terms of functional entities communicating with each other. Of course, there needs to be the underlying network layers to support application level messaging, but those lower layers are just enablers for the application level messaging, and as long as they are sufficiently rich to support the patterns of interaction that the applications wish to use, then they will be fit for purpose.
For example, MQTT (http://mqtt.org) is an application-level publish-and-subscribe messaging protocol, widely used in M2M applications including AMI. All connections in MQTT are originated by the client - the meter in the AMI case. Once established, a keep-alive protocol is established between client and broker (server), and communication is two way as long as the connection is maintained. The client re-connects whenever the connection drops. There are numerous possible connectivity patterns using MQTT based on time, the need to publish data, and the likelihood and urgency of messages being delivered to the client.
In the extreme case of an unexpected urgent message from the broker, a "shoulder-tap" using an out-of-band signaling mechanism tells the client to "call home" and thus receives the waiting message. This is rarely needed, though, as maintenance of the client-to-broker connection can usually be arranged to cover the expected communications patterns for any given application.
So, IPv4 with diodic NAT gateways will enable billions of services to connect securely and communicate and collaborate as members of the Internet of Things, of which AMI devices will form a small part.

Spring and component parts manufacturer Advanex Americas will relocate its headquarters and manufacturing operations from California to White House, Tennessee. The project is expected to create 102 new jobs.
The company will invest $17 million to build a new facility at 514 Hester Drive. Advanex products are used in everything from ballpoint pens to space stations.
“Advanex Japan and Advanex Americas are excited to be building a facility in White House, Tennessee after a search that spanned over two years and several states. We chose Tennessee because of the welcoming business climate and the tremendous support of TNECD and government officials who are helping us quickly and efficiently bring a facility to an undeveloped site that will suit our needs and give us great accessibility to our customers. Tennessee has built a broad education system that includes developing a skilled and professional labor force that is attractive to business. We look forward to being a part of the White House community,” Kenichi Ogaki, president, Advanex Americas said.
“I’d like to thank Advanex Americas for selecting Robertson County and creating more than 100 high quality jobs for Tennesseans. Every time a company chooses to relocate to Tennessee, it is a vote of confidence to our business climate and workforce and provides a ripple effect of opportunity for our communities,” said Governor Bill Lee.
Advanex Americas is the U.S. division of Advanex Inc., a Japanese company founded in 1946 and headquartered in Tokyo, Japan that has grown into 15 group companies around the world. The company manufactures precision springs, wire form, pins, stampings, plastics and assemblies for companies in a range of sectors including automotive, aerospace, medical and agriculture.
“Japanese-owned companies have invested more than $2 billion in Tennessee over the last five years, making Japan our largest foreign direct investment partner. We appreciate Advanex Americas for choosing to relocate from California to Tennessee, and we are confident the company will find new growth opportunities due to our low cost of doing business and central location,” noted TNECD Commissioner Bob Rolfe.


So it turns out it was a combination of things.
For one, I had the wrong name for the bios file and flash file.
Two, the bios files I had did not match the recalbox md5 checksums (although I never found a checksum that matched for the dc_flash.bin file).
And finally, apparently the bios files need to go into the actual system folder and not the folder labeled "bios" (although I put them in both locations).
So far it played every image I put on it and they ran at anywhere from semi playable to playable at stock speeds on the pi3. Overclocking to 1350 yielded slightly better performance. The emulator still has a ways to go though.
For anyone looking for the correct md5 hashes you can go here, it will also tell you the correct name and location for your bios files.


NCAA Division II National Finals - Game 5: No. 14 Grand Valley State Defeats No. 17 Shippensburg 8-4
Mike Nadratowski collected four of Grand Valley State University's 17 hits as the 14th-ranked Lakers downed Shippensburg, 8-4, in an elimination game of the 2013 NCAA Division II Baseball National Finals Monday at Cary, N.C. The National Finals are co-hosted by Town of Cary and Mount Olive College at the USA Baseball National Training Complex.
Five other players had two hits each for the Lakers, and all nine hitters in the order collected at least one hit in the game's first five innings as Grand Valley State surged to a 7-0 lead before holding off a pair of late Shippensburg charges.
With the win, Grand Valley State (36-18) advances to an elimination game at 3 p.m. on Wednesday. The loss ended the season for the Raiders at 32-23.
The Lakers jumped out to a 1-0 lead two batters into the game and never trailed. Nadratowski tripled into the left field corner to lead off the game, and Stephen Claypool followed with an RBI double down the left field line.
Grand Valley State added two more runs in the first inning to chase starter Tom Bush (6-5), one on an RBI sacrifice bunt by Jamie Potts, and a second on an RBI double by Chris Rudenga.
The Lakers added four more hits and three more runs in the third inning, one of those scoring on an RBI single by Nadratowski. The sophomore outfielder also added RBI singles in the fifth and seventh innings.
Held to four hits and no runs through the first five innings by Grand Valley State starter Anthony Campanella (10-4), Shippensburg put together a big inning in the bottom of the sixth, collecting five hits and three runs, one on an RBI single by Pat Kregeloh and two more on a single by Cody Kulp that cut the deficit to 7-3. The Raiders threatened for more in the inning, but Campanella got a double-play ball to end the inning.
Campanella went eight innings, scattering 10 hits and giving up three runs while striking out three and walking none.
Trailing 8-3 in the bottom of the ninth, Shippensburg put together one last rally attempt. Facing the NCAA Division II career saves leader, Brad Zambron, the Raiders collected three consecutive singles to load the bases with no one out. Michael Douglas drove in one run on a sacrifice fly, but Zambron used consecutive flyouts to end the game.
Douglas was one of five Shippensburg players with two hits each.
The victory for Grand Valley State was its first in the National Finals since 2005, when it finished third nationally, and its first in six attempts since the Finals moved to Cary in 2009.
"It was nice to get going offensively early. Everyone was able to contribute and we came up with some key hits with two outs and produce a couple of runs. We have been taking good batting practice so I knew we were capable of breaking out and scoring some runs."
Grand Valley State head coach Jamie Detillion
"I want the ball in these situations. As a captain and a senior leader, I know what needs to be done when I get on the mound. I need to compete every pitch and get as deep in the game as I can. It was nice to have that run support early and get the early lead."

About a week ago I wrote an article on the all-time offensive team of the NFC South. This is the sequel to that article with defense.
I had a lot of fun doing this article. It is probably because I played defense when I played football.
This list compiles a lot of future Hall of Fame players. The stats that are listed are from 2002 and on. Also, it is only stats from when they played with their NFC South team. Some players might have only been there for a year. Others have been there since the NFC South was formed.
Due to trades and free agency the NFC South has seen some of the best defensive players in the game.
Now this article is just who I personally think would be on this team if it was formed. I personally hope you enjoy this article as much as I did writing it.
Defense wins championships.
This is one of the best players in the game right now. I personally love watching him play. Even though when it's against my favorite team, the Saints, he usually owns our o-line.
He is ranked second in the league in sacks since 2002, only behind Jason Taylor.
Defensive touchdowns 1
Drafted by New Orleans In 2004. Will Smith last year signed a contract extension, making him one of the highest paid defensive players in the game.
He is well balanced with run tackling and pass rushing. He draws a lot of double teams allowing Charles Grant and now Bobby McCray to make it into the backfield.
Stats since 2004
Need I really explain why this guy is here? A future Hall of Fame player. He was amazing when he played for Tampa Bay.
Even though he only played for two years with Tampa since the NFC South was formed, I think any player that is going to be a future Hall of Famer should be on this list.
He was also part of the 2002 Super Bowl winning team. Which is the only team in the NFC South to win a Super Bowl. Also they would put him in on goal line and have him score in short yardage situations
Stats while playing for Tampa Since 2002 till 2004
Last year I was so happy to see this guy go to the Jets. I remember when people would argue if he or Warren Sapp were the best defensive tackle in the NFC South.
He might not have put up huge numbers, but he opened up holes for linebackers to take care of the offense. He commanded a double team on almost every play.
Stats from 2002-2007
Here Is another future Hall of Fame player. This year, Tampa decided to part ways with Derrick Brooks. In the time he has spent in Tampa, he has won a Super Bowl ring and is a 10 time Pro Bowl player, with anamazing 1,674 tackles.
Stats from 2002-2008
When this man is healthy he is one of the best Linebackers in the NFL. I think it may have to do something with wearing No. 55, as we saw Derrick Brooks also wears this number.
On a more serious note, this man is a former Pro Bowl player. He's played on a Super Bowl team.
He has decided to come back this season and play for the New Orleans saints after taking last season off.
This guy has been one of the best Linebackers in the NFC South. He is a five time Pro Bowl player, and one of the most intimidating tacklers in the division.
I remember watching him play against the Saints. Blood would just drip down his face from his bridge getting cut from his helmet because he would hit so hard.
Ronde Barber is another all-time great on this list. He will be in the Hall of Fame once his career is over.
Ronde Barber has been one of the better man-to-man cover guys in the NFL for the past 13 seasons. He has been one of the captains for one of the best defensive teams in this decade.
Defensive touchdown's 5
Another one of the best man-to-man cover guys. New Orleans acquired him in a trade in 2004. Unfortunately, he was cut from the roster on March 21 to save cap room.
People don't realize how great of a corner he was for the Saints. Some of this is due to his short seasons due to injury. If you go back and watch game footage everyone threw against whatever corner was on the other side.(i.e. Jason David getting burned for big plays)
Stats with the Saints.
I know Tampa fans were upset to see him go to the Broncos. Heck, even I was upset to see him go. Not only was he the best safety to play in the south, he is another Hall of Fame player player from that amazing Bucs defense of this decade. He should be a first-ballot Hall of Famer.
Stats from 2002-2003
Jermaine Phillips especially the last three years has shown amazing improvement. In the 2006 season, he intercepted 2 passes and made over 100 tackles.
Last year he was going on pace to go over 100 tackles but only wound up playing in 11 games.
They are talking about moving him to linebacker which shows his versatility, which makes him a great football player.

Britain's Trident nuclear weapons system has been given a strong vote of confidence by MPs after they backed renewing the deterrent.
The decisive result - by 472 votes to 117, majority 355 - was returned in support of a Government motion which also included backing the plan to replace the existing submarine fleet carrying the missiles with four new Successor submarines.
Renewal of the continuous-at-sea deterrent is predicted to cost £31 billion, with a £10 billion contingency fund also set aside.
Labour MPs were subject to a free vote, with leader Jeremy Corbyn declaring he would oppose the motion - a stance which led to strong criticism from some of his backbenchers.
The SNP, the third largest party in the Commons with 54 MPs, also opposed the Government's plan.
A debate lasting almost six hours saw Theresa May, in her first despatch box appearance as Prime Minister, warn it would be a "reckless gamble" for the UK to rely on other nations for its nuclear deterrent.
She insisted it would be an "act of gross irresponsibility" should the Government discard the Trident weapons system, as she led calls to replace the submarine fleet which carries the missiles.
Mrs May also launched an attack on Jeremy Corbyn by claiming some Opposition frontbenchers appeared to be the first to "defend the country's enemies" and the last to accept what the UK needs to protect itself.
Weapons of mass destruction
In his remarks, Mr Corbyn questioned if the "weapons of mass destruction" act as a credible deterrent to the threats faced by the UK.
He also warned the costs of renewal were "ballooning ever upwards" and noted that each warhead has the capacity to kill one million people.
Mr Corbyn added he would not take a decision that "kills millions of innocent people" - a nod to his stance that he would not authorise the use of nuclear weapons.
The Labour leader and key allies, including shadow chancellor John McDonnell, were set to vote against the Government motion.
But Labour MP Toby Perkins, who last month resigned as shadow armed forces minister, compared Labour frontbench opposition to Trident with the arguments "of a 13-year-old".
Jamie Reed, Labour MP for Copeland, launched a blistering attack on his leadership's position and warned it could split the party.
He branded Mr Corbyn's opposition "juvenile" and "narcissistic" and said shadow cabinet members who voted against Trident should resign and return to the backbenches because they would be voting against Labour Party policy.
Mr Reed said: "I urge all colleagues on the Labour frontbench tonight to respect the democratic processes of the Labour Party, to respect the conference decision of the Labour Party, to vote with the established policy of the Labour Party.
"And if you can't do that, return to the backbenches."
Angus Robertson, the SNP's Westminster leader, warned that renewing Trident would speed up independence for Scotland.
He was applauded and cheered by his colleagues in the Commons after his speech, in which he labelled Trident as an "immoral, obscene and redundant weapons system".
Mr Robertson said: "If Scotland is a nation, and Scotland is a nation, it is not a normal situation for the state to totally disregard the wishes of the people, and this Government has a democratic deficit in Scotland, and with today's vote on Trident it's going to get worse, not better.
"It will be for the Scottish people to determine whether we are properly protected in Europe and better represented by a Government that we actually elect - at this rate, that day is fast approaching."
Labour sources said they believe 138 Labour MPs voted for the motion, 48 against, with 45 not present.
The total figure takes in Simon Danczuk, who has been suspended from the party.


A decade-old song has been at the top of the charts for a few weeks: “Running up That Hill” by 80s icon Kate Bush. How could a 37-year-old song become a global hit again?
Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill” owes its second spring to the Netflix series “Stranger Things”. The song plays an important role in the story of the latest season and can be heard again and again.
Attention – and open ears
The fact that Bush’s song is so prominently featured in one of the most successful series gives him a lot of attention. That alone is not enough for this extraordinary success – the song also had to find interested ears.
The fact that he did that is probably due to the fact that the sound of the 80s is very present today. There are always songs in the hit parades that unmistakably sound like this decade, for example by The Weeknd, Dua Lipa or Ed Sheeran. The songs of the Swiss Crimer also sound as if they were 40 years old.
Such artists are just the tip of the iceberg, says SRF3 music editor Claudio Landolt: “This stylized 80s synth-pop sound has had a revival for a long time. We’re probably at the peak right now.”
The 80s shaped today’s pop
The synthesizer and drum machine used on «Running Up That Hill» are also used or imitated on current songs. That’s why the sound of the 80s still sounds contemporary. “I’m always amazed at how up-to-date such songs sound in terms of production technology – how fresh it all is and how good it sounds,” says Landolt.
But songs from the 80s don’t just fit current pop music in terms of sound aesthetics and production technology, says Landolt: “The music of the 80s seems fluid, androgynous. It also seems to be less hierarchically male-dominated than music from previous decades. That coincides with today’s ideas.”
Earn new money with old hits
What happened to the Kate Bush song is exemplary for a trend in the music business. Music corporations and investment companies are increasingly seeing music as an investment opportunity that should generate long-term profit.
Companies buy song rights from established artists such as Bob Dylan, Tina Turner or David Bowie for millions in the hope that the old songs will continue to make a profit.
Kate Bush has not sold her song rights
With Kate Bush, this has now been spectacularly successful – but without the involvement of investment companies and record companies: the rights to “Running Up That Hill” are owned entirely by Kate Bush herself.
A large part of the profit from this surprise success will go to her. Nevertheless, the example should set a precedent: It shows how profitable it can be to place a song in a series.
What does it take for a second spring?
At the same time, the example of Bush makes it clear that many factors have to come together for renewed chart success – coincidence also plays a role.
And it needs the right song, as Landolt says: “Kate Bush is the perfect choice for ‘Stranger Things’ because she was probably the ‘strangest’ singer of the 80s. Their songs are so abnormal and so good at the same time.”
Bush’s magical aura fits the series perfectly, and there are still a lot of forgotten pearls from the still incomparable musician, says Landolt: “I wish the world that you rediscover them all.”
5 listening tips for new Kate Bush fans
You discovered Kate Bush thanks to “Stranger Things”? These 5 songs are perfect for delving further into the work of this unique musician.
- Kate Bush’s very first single “Wuthering Heights” became a number one hit in 1978. She suddenly made a name for herself with her falsetto singing and idiosyncratic dance movements – and was already considered a polarizing artist whose style did not please everyone.
- Kate Bush was only 13 when she wrote the ballad The Man With The Child In His Eyes. Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour served as producer on the recordings.
- The influence of Pink Floyd can also be heard in the song “Wow” from the album “Lionheart”. Bush says she tried to write a “Pink Floyd” song here. This can be heard clearly, especially in the chorus.
- “Babooshka” from 1980 already has the typical 80s sound. The song uses the same drum machine and synthesizer that can be heard on “Running Up That Hill.”
- “The Dreaming” from the album of the same name is about the Australian Aborigines, which is why a didgeridoo can also be heard. The album is considered Bush’s most non-commercial and experimental work.

The Persian mausoleum called the Taj Mahal
The Taj Mahal (also "the Taj") is considered the finest example of Mughal architecture, a style that combines elements from Persian, Ottoman, Indian, and Islamic architectural styles, saith Wikipedia.
While the white domed marble mausoleum is its most familiar component, the Taj Mahal is actually an integrated complex of structures. Building began around 1632 and was completed around 1653, and employed thousands of artisans and craftsmen.
In 1631, Shah Jahan, emperor during the Mughal empire's period of greatest prosperity, was griefstricken when his third wife, Mumtaz Mahal, died during the birth of their fourteenth child, Gauhara Begum. The court chronicles of Shah Jahan's grief illustrates the love story traditionally held as an inspiration for Taj Mahal.  The construction of Taj Mahal begun soon after Mumtaz's death with the principal mausoleum completed in 1648.
The complex includes
- fusion of Muslim-Persian-Indian design
- Mughal becomes the English word, mogul.
- gemstones of India
- mortar & pestle

By mere coincidence I’m posting a delightfully simple Mexican soup recipe, well loved in this house, because I’m putting it out there right now – it’s got chocolate in it. This is my take on what is still one of my very favourite cookbooks. Jack has published another book after this, which I still need to see, but I think that her first book deserves to be a classic. There is no need to write a second positive review because by now I’m sure you all know how much I like the recipes and Jack’s honest way of writing. She is a master at turning a few simple ingredients into something special, with the help of a little bit of chocolate. It does make a difference so don’t be afraid to add it.
Tag Archives: Mexican
This is a very easy recipe I make whenever I plan a Mexican-inspired supper. It takes minutes to prepare from start to finish and for me it’s well worth it. I must confess I prefer something like a guacamole than mashed up beans and was quite averse to it when I first tasted it. (Reason behind this: kidney beans are not one of my favourite things!) However I grew to like it; it complements the freshness of guacamole in texture and taste. And it’s pantry-friendly. You don’t really need to go out and buy any special ingredients for this. You might have all the ingredients right now. The traditional recipe calls for pinto beans but I use kidney beans instead, just because they are easier to find. All you need are:
- 1 x 400g can of kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small shallot
- 4 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 teaspoon coriander seeds, crushed
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 cup vegetable stock (you might need a little bit more as the beans cook)
- salt (preferably coarse and crushed) and freshly ground pepper, to taste
- Fresh coriander (or parsley), to sprinkle over the beans in their serving bowl
- Set aside around a third of the kidney beans and in a bowl mash the rest with a fork. Don’t fuss around with this. A rough mash is more than enough.
- Place a pan over the heat and when it’s hot enough add the olive oil and the shallot. (If you don’t have shallots or onions, you could even use a couple of spring onions. Just add them straight with the garlic to avoid any burning.*) Let the shallot cook until it turns a light golden colour.
- Add the garlic (if you didn’t add it before*) and the spices.
- Give everything a good stir and immediately add the mashed kidney beans and half the amount of stock. Let the mixture thicken slightly for around five minutes, and tip in the unmashed beans. Loosen the mixture now by adding the remaining stock slowly, and just enough for the beans to loosen but still stay somewhat thick.** This might take up to two to three minutes.
- Season with the salt and pepper. Taste the mixture and add more if necessary.
- Place the beans in a serving bowl and sprinkle with fresh coriander.
Before I go I must apologise for the lack of a proper photo for this, but in the so-called chaos of my kitchen I totally forgot to take a close-up picture of the finished thing! I hope you can see it clearer in the picture!** Also, don’t let the number of steps put you down. It’s one of the easiest recipes out there. Enjoy!
My only regret while living in the US is the fact that we didn’t travel much. There was no logical reason for this but hey, that’s life sometimes. Having said that, we did enjoy the few places that we went to. We moved straight to Michigan for the first two years of our marriage, and after settling down in campus, we took a trip to Seattle and then Washington DC. I immediately took to Seattle. It only rained once during that week (honest) and we had the most gorgeous view of the mighty Mt. Rainier from our charming B&B. For the first time in ages I didn’t miss my family; being in a foreign country and getting used to married life proved much tougher than I imagined. But I felt relaxed and rested and I couldn’t wait to explore the city.
We ate simply – there was no eating in fancy restaurants during those years but I didn’t mind it that much. Also, since I was just a few months into my culinary journey I didn’t care much for (or rather, I did not yet discover) spices. I was raised in an environment where seasoning meant adding salt and pepper. That. Is. It. Well, perhaps a bit of curry powder or mixed spice. A bit meaning “ponta ta’ kuċċarina” loosely translated as “the tip of a teaspoon”. Do you, the 30-somethings from my little Mediterranean rock, know what I mean? I have a feeling that you do. But that’s another story. All I can say is this: luckily the tables are turning…
My imaginary love of bland food ended pretty quickly right after that trip. While staying with some friends in Washington DC, I discovered the wonderful world of Mexican food. I asked J why we never tried it before. The answer he gave me was something on the lines of I-did-not-know-you-would-like-it-so-much. A good answer…
I am *not* a food expert though and I haven’t done sufficient research on authentic Mexican grub but I like to think I make a good cornbread. It’s one of J’s favourite things and it’s really easy to prepare. We had a Mexican night at home very recently (minus Tequila, *sigh* ha!). It was so much fun – we really should do it more often. Here’s our take on cornbread. It’s great with guacamole or tomato salsa, or both!
Just a note before we start: preferably you would need a cast iron tin for this recipe, but don’t fret if you don’t have one. A good thing to try is to put a non-stick loaf tin in the oven while it is preheating.* When the oven preheats and the batter ready, take the pan out of the oven and tip the mixture in it. Be careful how to do this – the tin will obviously be very hot. You will need:
- 190g sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 230g plain flour
- 95g yellow cornmeal
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 200ml milk
- 120ml corn oil or vegetable oil
- 10ml orange juice (with the pulp removed)
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C.*
- Place the sugar,salt, flour, cornmeal and baking powder in a large bowl and mix them well together using a whisk.
- In another mixing bowl or a large measuring jug tip in the beaten egg, milk, oil and orange juice.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ones and mix well. You need some elbow grease for this one but I use a whisk. There’s no need for any electric mixers.
- Take the loaf tin out of the preheated oven and spray the very hot tin with non-stick baking spray. Tip the cornbread mixture into the cake tin and bake for around 1hour. As always, keep an eye on it and when it turns golden insert a knife or skewer in the middle. Let it cool slightly in the tin, then take it out and serve warm.
It will keep for two days in foil, but you could also freeze it for up to a month.
For more Mexican recipes (or Mexican-inspired) there’s a list for you here. There will be more recipes from my Mexican fiesta to come. Enjoy!

The Oyo State government has recorded a new positive case of COVID-19. A statement released by the Acting Chairman of the Oyo State COVID-19 Task Force, Prof Temitope Alonge on April 4, says the latest case is a close contact of the second confirmed case who subsequently developed symptoms.
He indicated that the patient has been moved to one of the isolation centres in the state while activities at the Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) are being ramped up to meet the evolving nature of the COVID-19 pandemic.
He disclosed that with the index case already discharged, the other seven cases remain stable.

Your new car is an investment that you are proud of and wish to preserve with utmost care. Servicing your car on a periodic basis ensures that you improve its life. An effort to ensure that you take care of your car from time to time will be returned with the car taking care of your needs.
What are the Advantages of Regular Servicing?
- No overheating: Consumables such as transmission fluid, engine oil, engine coolant, and the like, if not replaced on a timely basis, can spell trouble for the car. When either of these are not kept at the requisite level, then the car would overheat, putting an ugly stop to your journey.
- Maintain the car mileage for a long time: While it is true that the car’s mileage decreases with age, it is untrue that you have no control over the rate at which this decrease occurs. With regular maintenance, one can ensure that the mileage does not have to drastically diminish in a short span of time. For instance, replacing air filters at regular intervals, getting the accumulated dust off the filters, etc. are measures that can be undertaken to preserve the mileage of the car.
- Maintenance of spark plugs and cylinder head: The spark plugs and the cylinder in the car are expensive parts that cannot be easily replaced. But its absence can also mean engine failure of the car. Therefore, it is important to regularly check and maintain the health of these parts through servicing.
- Tyre alignment for a stable drive: Regular car maintenance comes with the guarantee of better performance. For instance, better tyre traction will guarantee a more stable steering and a more reliable engine. Your ride will automatically become more enjoyable as you will encounter lesser problems.
- Increase the lifespan: Following standards and procedures as laid down by the manufacturer in the car user manual can go a long way in increasing the lifespan of one’s car. Certified professionals must be given the responsibility of maintaining the car and avoid going to unauthorized centres for replacement or refurbishing parts of the car.
- Improve fuel economy: There is no wastage of precious, expensive drops of fuel when the car is efficient in fuel usage due to regular maintenance. This also saves considerable time and money in filling the tank on a regular basis.
- Keeps the car safe to drive: Routine car maintenance will ensure that it does not break down on the road on random occasions and cause trouble. Instances such as brake failure, engine failure, etc can be avoided if one regularly maintains the car and proactively ensures that early signs of trouble are addressed by the mechanic.
Should only the Electrical and Mechanical Parts be Checked Regularly?
It goes without saying that electrical and mechanical parts of the car deserve more attention, but there are other parts that must be looked at too during servicing such as –
- Roof racks and storage pods
- Windshield cleaning liquid
- Seat covers
- Aerial antenna
- Front and rear wiper blades
- Air conditioning system
- Light globes in headlights or overhead cabin light
- Audio system/subwoofers/head units
- Baby seats etc.
Does the Condition of the Car Affect the Price of the Insurance Premium?
Though there is no direct relation as such while the car insurance is being purchased at the time of purchase of the car, this does become a material consideration when it comes to purchasing car insurance policy for a second-hand car or at the time of renewal of the policy.
The condition of the car influences the Insured Declared Value (IDV) of the car which is the most important determinant of car insurance premium. Thus, it is useful to maintain the car in good condition to attract a higher IDV for the car.
Conclusion with key takeaways
A well-maintained car not only serves you well during its time with you but even after – it fetches you an excellent price when you wish to sell it. Use the advice and tips that the manufacturer of the car has to offer with respect to the maintenance schedule and procedure for your precious car.
A little effort from your end can go a long way in making your entire driving experience very pleasant and enjoyable.

A listener writes “I had drawn an area in Fall Creek Falls state park. Once again it was bow season. I knew a little about the area I was going to hunt. The deer in this area was massive and not accustom to being hunted.
I got to my area before sunrise and was heading up my tree. I started hearing this sound in the woods. It sounded like one of those old Samurai movies. I could hear two men making this sound. I turned around in my stand trying to find the location it was coming from. While turning I made some noise with my stand and the chatter stopped. I waited for what seemed like an eternity. Then I heard something coming around the trail I had come in on. Thinking this was a hunter I turned on my flashlight and called out. Everything got quite. Then I heard them step off the trail. One to the left and one to the right. I called out again and once more it got real silent. With daylight approaching I advised them I had drawn this area I let them know if I was in the wrong could they please advise me. Nothing, not a sound.
Now I am getting mad. Wanting to hunt and now someone messing with me.
I started climbing out of the tree. While climbing I could hear the one to left moving towards me and the other moving back toward the trail. When I got to the ground I was expecting to see someone waiting to explain the mix up. Unhooking my stand I scanned the area with my flashlight. I advised them I was going to the ranger station to sort this out.

Hey guys! So it is time for my October Wrap-up. I know that this is a bit late. I didn’t end up blogging during the month of November. I still wanted to update you guys on what I ended up reading in October. It did end up being a bit more than I remember. However I did read some short stories and some comics so that is part of it. I honestly felt like I read some of these books a while ago. My brain is definitely shot from this year. I do look forward to 2021 and starting a clean slate. I do hope it ends up being better. Anyway now let’s dive in to see what I read in October!
Hey guys! Once again it is time for the 25 Reads of December. I did want to post this yesterday but I really wanted to do the Top Tuesday. So here I am posting it a day late. I always enjoy this a lot. The 25 Reads of December is done by Riveted. Everyday leading up to Christmas a different book will be free to read for one day. I really love this idea so much. They always include so many amazing books that are in different genres. Also they have a good amount of books that have just recently come out this year.
This year I am not very familiar with a lot of the books on this book. I have only read one of these books which is I Killed Zoe Spanos By Kit Frick. I really enjoyed and recommend listening to on audiobook if you can.
I do find the best way I am able to read these books in a day is when I don’t have anything going on and I’m able to listen to the audiobook. I always try to see if my library has the book before hand. Obviously you don’t have to read these in just a day. I do like that you’re able to start reading it right away. If you do like it you can buy it or even see if you’re library has it. It’s a great way to discover new authors. So let’s dive in to see what I’m going to try to read!
Hey guys, I’m back! I decided I would attempt to do Blogmas this year. Blogmas is something I started doing 2 years ago. It gives me a challenge and I always find it enjoyable. It’s my bookish way of getting into the Christmas spirit. Please bare with me. I haven’t been in the mood to blog and am in a bit of a reading slump. So I’m trying to use this to get myself out of both. Let’s hope this works.
Anyway, it’s time for another Top Ten Tuesday hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. The theme for this week is Books I Want to Read Again. I don’t reread books too often. I usually try to read books I haven’t read before. Sometimes though we need that feeling we get from reading our favorite book again. I also will reread if I’m reading a sequel. I need to start doing that more tbh. So let’s dive in !
Hey guys!! I am sorry I haven’t been blogging as much lately. I have been in bit of a blogging slump. I just haven’t been wanting to do posts as of late. I think part of it has to with everything going on right now. I have been reading. I just have been taking a break from social media. Mainly from Twitter. Anyway back to this Tag. The lovely Jenna @ J.K. I’m Exploring tagged me in this. She’s amazing and if you aren’t following her you need. This tag was created by Jordanne @ The Life of A Glasgow Girl (as is the header image). So let’s dive in!

Synopsis: The offer is too tempting: be part of a scientific breakthrough, step out of his life for a year, and be paid hugely for it. When ViGen Pharmaceuticals asks Jeremiah to be part of an illegal cloning experiment, he sees it as a break from an existence he feels disconnected from. No one will know he’s been replaced—not the son who ignores him, not his increasingly distant wife—since a revolutionary drug called Meld can transfer his consciousness and memories to his copy.
From a luxurious apartment, he watches the clone navigate his day-to-day life. But soon Jeremiah discovers that examining himself from an outsider’s perspective isn’t what he thought it would be, and he watches in horror as “his” life spirals out of control. ViGen needs the experiment to succeed—they won’t call it off, and are prepared to remove any obstacle. With his family in danger, Jeremiah needs to finally find the courage to face himself head-on.

Hey guys!! So today is my birthday!! I am thankful that I am actually off on my birthday. I will be spending the day watching movies with my boyfriend. Then we plan to go out to dinner with my parents. It’s supposed to be raining today so I am honestly happy with having a nice chill day. I found this tag a while back. Sadly the person whose blog I found this tag on has been deleted. I am excited to be doing this tag. So let’s dive in!

Synopsis: Bestselling and award-winning author Lisa Unger returns with her best novel yet. Reminiscent of the classic Strangers on a Train, Confessions on the 7:45 is a riveting psychological thriller that begins with a chance encounter on a commuter train and shows why you should never, ever make conversation with strangers.
Be careful who you tell your darkest secrets…
Selena Murphy is commuting home from her job in the city when the train stalls out on the tracks. She strikes up a conversation with a beautiful stranger in the next seat, and their connection is fast and easy. The woman introduces herself as Martha and confesses that she’s been stuck in an affair with her boss. Selena, in turn, confesses that she suspects her husband is sleeping with the nanny. When the train arrives at Selena’s station, the two women part ways, presumably never to meet again.
But days later, Selena’s nanny disappears.
Soon Selena finds her once-perfect life upended. As she is pulled into the mystery of the missing nanny, and as the fractures in her marriage grow deeper, Selena begins to wonder, who was Martha really? But she is hardly prepared for what she’ll discover.
Expertly plotted and reminiscent of the timeless classic Strangers on a Train, Confessions on the 7:45 is a stunning web of lies and deceit, and a gripping thriller about the delicate facades we create around our lives.
Author Bio: Lisa Unger is the New York Times and internationally bestselling author of eighteen novels, including CONFESSIONS ON THE 7:45 (Oct. 2020).

Hey guys! I am here with my September Wrap-up. I honestly have no clue where September went. I do feel September was a bit of a weird month for me. I made a bit of an ambitious TBR. Then when the time came to read I found myself not really interested in what I picked out. I also found myself not really wanting to read so I tried to resort to audiobooks. Overall I did find a couple new reads I liked so let’s dive in to see what books those were!
Kingdom of the Wicked By Kerri Maniscalco
Genre: Fantasy, Young Adult, Historical, Mystery, Fiction
Pages: 448 pages
Publication Date: October 27th 2020
Publisher: Jimmy Patterson
My Rating : 3 out of 5 Stars
Synopsis: Kerri Maniscalco introduces her next series, a dark tale of a beautiful young witch, a troubled demon, and their epic romance, set against a 19th century Italian backdrop.
Emilia and her twin sister Victoria are streghe – witches who live secretly among humans, avoiding notice and persecution. One night, Victoria misses dinner service at the family’s renowned Sicilian restaurant. Emilia soon finds the body of her beloved twin…desecrated beyond belief. Devastated, Emilia sets out to discover who did this, and to seek vengeance at any cost—even if it means using dark magic that’s been long forbidden.
Then Emilia meets Wrath, the outlier among the seven demon brethren, always choosing duty over pleasure. He’s been tasked by his master with investigating a series of women’s murders on the island. When Emilia and Wrath’s fates collide, it’s clear this disturbing mystery will take a bewitching turn…
Author Bio: Kerri Maniscalco grew up in a semi-haunted house outside NYC where her fascination with gothic settings began. In her spare time she reads everything she can get her hands on, cooks all kinds of food with her family and friends, and drinks entirely too much tea while discussing life’s finer points with her cats.
She is the #1 NYT and USA Today bestselling author of the Stalking Jack the Ripper series and the forthcoming Kingdom of the Wicked.For an extended bio, please read on below!

Society still lacks the full understanding of the non-conforming community.
That’s the general consensus even as Smirnoff has found that 12 percent of millennials identify as trans or gender non-conforming.
Anthony Keigher, the Roscommon native and LGBTQ performance artist who goes by the stage name of XNTHONY, teamed up with Smirnoff to launch the latest chapter in their ‘We’re Open’ campaign, which aims to amplify the voices of trans and gender non-conforming individuals, and to create positive conversation around nightlife culture, making for more open-minded and socially inclusive spaces.
Anthony’s London shows like DOUZE (an epic show about XNTHONY applying for, and epically failing at Eurovision) and Confirmation (a new show in the pipeline that takes inspiration from Roscommon’s rejection of Marriage Equality) highlight these important topics while ensuring oodles of glitz and glam too!!
Describing his shows as ‘exuberant,’ cabarets that will ‘make you smile with wonder,’ we wanted to know how Anthony has come to live his best life and explore popular culture.
It turns out XNTHONY came to life after an uneasy period that Anthony wanted to escape. Here, the ‘outrageous, exuberant and exaggerated character, not unlike a superhero alter ego’ was born! The fact that he prefers to spend his down time eating in bed and generally avoiding large crowds – might then be surprising.
But there’s a wild side to the proud Roscommon man that has managed to shine through thanks to this on-stage presence.
Growing up in Roscommon, Anthony says there was a family and community that simply allowed him to be. Art and music teachers encouraged his love of creativity while his parents ‘set up structures’ for him to develop and flourish.
There was an acceptance and love there – the same kind that needs to have a space in our community, and nightlife culture today.
Bullies were the exception to Anthony’s ideal home life, adding to his self-consciousness and leading him to hide his true self.
“It’s hard being yourself when being yourself means what other people think,” says Anthony. Overall though – it was mighty positive.
When asked how he felt when Roscommon was the only county in Ireland to vote ‘no’ in 2015 he said;
“At the time I was furious. Then I was defensive. But I knew about my own experiences in Roscommon – I knew this wasn’t a reflection of my home.
“The result of the referendum was a reflection of, I think anyway, the populations anger at the then government.”
He goes on to explain how Roscommon needs more attention, naming international talents the county has produced such as actor Chris O’ Dowd saying, “There’s something in the water I’m telling you!”
So why then the move to the UK you might ask?
“I was doing quite well in Dublin – I had serious notions about myself. But then my first Dublin Fringe show didn’t go down the way I had expected, and I felt betrayed.
“It’s complicated when you’re hurt and still believe you have something worth saying. Looking back, I’ve learned I’m a particularly resilient person when it comes to accepting failure.”
One thing Anthony has clearly continued living by – which is evident from his exhilarating performances – are the words his principal once said to him. During an incident in school where he was being endlessly picked on, he retaliated by throwing a coffee at the bully.
Although he was reprimanded for doing so, his principal said something Anthony ensures he will always remember. ‘Never change who you are for anyone.’
“I think there is a fresh movement in Dublin’s nightlife right now through platforms like Spice Bag and Glitter Hole which provide a safe space for queer self-expression…
“Things like Alternative Miss Ireland offered a space for all to express themselves. At the time we had very definite causes which brought the LGBTQ community together.
“We are at risk of forgetting those in our community who need help, like our trans family, and women everywhere demanding bodily autonomy. Now the baton comes to us to push forward.”
The new film and national campaign sets out to amplify the voices of trans and gender non-conforming individuals and put gender identity front and centre in mainstream conversation. SMIRNOFF has a longstanding affiliation with LGBTQ+ causes. Through its proud partnership with Dublin Pride and events like the Mother Pride Block Party, SMIRNOFF sees the intrinsic value of creating open, safe spaces for the LGBTQ+ community to fully express its identity. Smirnoff will also be bringing DJ and producer Honey Dijon (who also features in the ad) to Dublin to play her first Irish show hosted by Smirnoff this spring.

Best Rock Bands of All Time
The Contenders: Page 10
How are they not higher? There sounds relate to young and old and as they made albums they sold more and more records and tyson riitter is one of the best front mans around!
They sing really awesome some of their sons like gives you hell and it ends tonight are amazing
? I used to listen to these guys all the time they MUST be higher.V 3 Comments
What? ANTHRAX IS 168? THEY ARE AWESOME! Its like people wont even try and give them a chance! They have brought out amazing songs over the past years, as well as albums! I can't even see why no-one would vote for them :/
Best band ever. Dude they are the thrash metal pioneers. There songs are simply awesome. Whether it be I'm alive, in the end, caught in a mosh or Indians THEY ARE ALL AWESOME. Can't believe THEY are not in this list.
Such an underrated band. Best bass, best lyrics, best vocals, and even the solos are amazing.
HOW ARE THEY BELOW BVB - VideoGamefan5V 6 Comments
The Stone Roses at 271? They influenced started the so called "Brit-pop" era of the 90s as well as producing their self titled album which for me is an all-time great.
The Stone Roses should definitely be higher. One of my all time favourite bands and influenced so many other artists!
So a band called barenaked ladies is higher than the stone roses? Wow this generation knows nothing about Music
Ian Brown is awesomeV 5 Comments
they are a very heavy band but they have great guitar and drums. their screamer is very good as well. listen to blacken the cursed sun and walk with me to hell -
Hell yes, they are the best. They should be number one, all of their songs are good. They have a great drummer and vocalist.
Number one metal band in the world! They have the best break downs ever! The best at their genre! Perfect vocals! I just love this band! Who cares about the rating! Any metal head would know how good this band is!
True American Metal at its FINEST!V 4 Comments
Is this list even real? It's like playing a game of spot the good band. Voting for thiese to take them slightly higher, even though I prefer a few others on the list.
Runnin' Wild is one of the best rock albums of recent years - it's a shame so many rock fans don't know it!
Most people haven't heard of them - but they play great, energetic rock and deserve a wider audience. They are superb live as well as in the studio.
First of all, it says ROCK, not metal, not pop, ROCK. Second of all, Airbourne has the most energy ever put into a studio recording. I saw them live earlier this year, and let's just say, their energy was nearly tripled!
Very much like AC/DC
The bass in this band is stunning. The female bassist is if not the best, one of the greatest bassists I have heard. She can play and hit every note fast while still getting the nice bass sound. The singers voice can range from a nice calm song to a hardcore song that makes you want to turn into Rambo.
More of a Alternative Rock/Hard Rock
This one deserves forth place... Or second. One of the best bands on EARTH!V 2 Comments
The best band ever! Justin sane is pure awesome, so is Chris baker... They should be in the top 10V 2 Comments
Are you kidding? 409? Listen to their music. Who's list is this anyway?
One of the best bands in the music rock history.
I totally agree that they are "One of the best bands in rock music"... I just nominated them, thinking no one knew who they are.

Alice Nine is the most rising Japanese Visual Rock Bands in Japan. Their music are always grows and they tried to add other genre and mixed it with Rock like jazz, blues, ballad and some synthesizer.. they're awesome!
Best band ever. Shou's voice is amazing! They aren't a legend, but they deserve for attention too. Hope you like this bandV 1 Comment
Traffic was a super-group of their day, and they deserved the acclaim! Jazz-inspired rock with musicianship of the highest caliber. Some of it sounds dated today, but much of their music still sounds as fresh today as it did in the 1960's. I can only believe the low rating is due to people not knowing how good these guys are.
220? Really? Just listen and you'll move them to the top 10!
John barleycorn glad/freedom rider 1970V 2 Comments
Sooo low its discouraging! Such a great band!
Genius and hilarious lyrics. Actually cerebral yet funny and touch on a lot of political topics. Wolves in wolves clothing is one of the greatest albums of all time as a peoples revolution anarchist
First, put this best band as the best. Stupid planet doesn't know the definition of punk. Listen to NOFX and it will change your life. Come on!
Great punk band. Check out "The Decline"
Punk rock godsV 1 Comment
I would say that MGMT are more Indie than Rock, but they are still a very good band
Damn solid group. I wish I'd found them years ago
Metric is great
Yes Whitesnake was around before 87's big hit Still of the Night and Here I Go Again was a hit in 82 for them in
Europe! It America a while to catch on to them! They band was a hard rocking bluesy band not the glam band with
Screaming guitar that came later. Coverdale voice was original deep and bluesy until he started the screaming.
The live album Live in the Heart of the City is a classic and start here if you never heard earlier Whitesnake. The
Last few albums have been awesome also more like early whitesnake but of course keeping their harder sound.
Jon Lord and Ian Paice from Deep Purple were in the earlier version! Too bad Coverdale has lost his original voice.
I AMAZED SEEING THIS LIST. AFTER THE JUDGMENT DAY, HERE I GO AGAIN, IS THIS LOVE, THE DEEPER THE LOVE WHY THEY ARE HERE? THEY SHOULD BE IN TOP TEN. - RIFATHUSSAIN
Dude! Just listen to "Looking For Love", and see how the David Coverdale/John Sykes duo switches from the bluesy, lovestruck, heart wrenching vocals to an all out, no holds barred wicked onslaught of guitar riffs and angry screeching----- epic stuff! This song characterizes my music taste in one neat little package.
Higher NOWV 12 Comments
Primus has the best bassist in the universe, and all of the songs are awesome! Anybody who tries to beat Primus at being awesome will fail. Primus Sucks!
Primus deserves better than 139th place. Primus deserves to be in at least the top 50. Les Claypool auditioned to join Metallica once after the original bassist had died, and he didn't make it because he was too good.
Heh, it's a pity that not in first 100, but still good that in first 300
Best bassist ever, but he's practically the whole band.V 3 Comments

In the Brooder
- May 10, 2013
I have 3 new red star hens that I purchased. I have never seen a bird that was de-beaked before until these girls. Anyway, I introduced them to my flock on Saturday evening close to roost time. They of course had some tension but overall did ok. There is one of the hens that does not seem to be thriving in the group and is staying under a playground tunnel that we have in the coop. I felt her crop and it feels mostly empty. When I put feed up to her she will take 1-2 bites then almost seems to have trouble swallowing it. Could it be that it is crumble and being de-beaked she is having trouble? I am going to isolate her when I get home and see if I can get her to eat/drink but I can tell she feels lighter than the other 2. I am just worried this is more then just not adjusting well, any ideas? I would like to treat myself, I do have polyvisol I could give her.

This post was originally published simply by Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge.
Coming off the initial time of talks between Russian federation and NATO wherein the united states informed the Kremlin part that its central protection demands are “a non-starter”, the continuing dialogue which usually moved to Brussels Wednesday started with little expectation for any kind of breakthroughs.
Russian Deputy International Minister Alexander Grushko visited NATO headquarters in Brussels where he was received simply by NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg. Despite new Russian army live-fire exercises which happened near the border on Wednesday, the Kremlin has reiterated that there are no plans for virtually every offensive on Ukraine.
Talking from Moscow, Kremlin speaker Dmitry Peskov tried to guarantee the good faith nature from the engaging with NATO this week. “We are not negotiating from a placement of strength; there is not, plus nor can there be, any place to get ultimatums here, ” he said as the talks in Brussels were initiated Wednesday. This particular amid continued accusations that will its troop build-up is about forcing NATO to the desk and forcing leverage to guard Moscow’s red lines.
Reside fire drills near Ukraine on Tuesday, source: million. ruBut he underscored that will Russia must see that the particular West is taking the demands seriously and applying positive action, according to Reuters. Also according to Reuters, the particular Russian side again highlighted its central request associated with no further NATO eastward expansion, which it’s more seeking written security guarantees to make sure:
Grushko, a former Russian ambassador to NATO, has said The ussr wants to avoid confrontation. Their direct colleague Deputy International Minister Sergei Ryabkov – who held talks using the United States in Geneva yet who was not in Brussels on Wednesday – has stated Ukraine must never be permitted to join NATO.
NATO does not have any immediate plans to acknowledge Ukraine, but says Russia are not able to dictate its relations to sovereign states.
NATO diplomats, meanwhile, have sought to provide this week’s talks because not a “negotiation” but being an initial “dialogue” and have stated they would be deemed profitable if they simply led to a lot more open talks. This whilst calling the draft plans submitted by Moscow hence far “unacceptable”.
The West continues to be sticking firmly by the charge that Moscow brought on the current standoff and problems over Ukraine, which has observed Washington prepare far-reaching sanctions in the event of any military unpleasant. Concerning Tuesday’s drills, Moscow Times details:
The Defense Ministry said 3, 000 troops plus 300 tanks and soldires fighting vehicles have been used across three western Ruskies regions bordering Ukraine and a single bordering Belarus.
The military’s Western Military District stated the motorized rifle exercises will involve T-72B3 main fight tanks and BMP-2 soldires fighting vehicles. The exercises stretch across western Russia’s Voronezh, Belgorod, Bryansk plus Smolensk regions.
Jens Stoltenberg is expected to brief reporters after exiting Wednesday’s discussions in Brussels. Live give food to:
“Let’s be clear: Ruskies actions have precipitated this particular crisis. We are committed to making use of diplomacy to de-escalate the problem, ” U. S. charge to NATO Julianne Jones said at a press meeting Tuesday night. She mentioned of the alleged some one hundred, 000 Russian troops mustered near the Ukrainian border: “We want to see … Russia tugging back its forces. ”

Drug addiction programs are designed by treatment and rehabilitation centers with the sole aim being to make sure that the person suffering from this condition recovers from his or her drug-seeking behaviors. Drug addiction is a problem that appears to be on the rise throughout the country, and without the intervention provided by drug addiction programs, many lives stand to be affected, while careers may be lost altogether.
Drug addiction programs play an important role that cannot be overlooked by those affected by drug abuse. Without the experienced and professional services these programs are able to offer, people suffering from drug addiction and other related conditions may find themselves being incarcerated or hospitalized. Effective drug addiction programs help individuals struggling with this problem avoid mental breakdowns, deal with withdrawal symptoms, prevent relapse and other serious consequences of drug abuse.
The problem of drug addiction is directly brought about through prolonged prescription drug or illicit drug abuse. Prescription drugs are legally prescribed by physicians to alleviate some pain or problem which has been clinically diagnosed. Illicit drugs, on the other hand, are illegal and their use is condemned by the government and law enforcement agencies.
Drug addiction programs are specific forms of treatment aimed towards helping the addicted individual overcome his or her dependency on the drug. These forms of treatment vary from one type of drug to the next one. There is no single program that fits all the different types of addictions. Each drug has different effects, and treatment may depend on the addict’s tolerance levels working hand in hand with other factors.
An individual who has been diagnosed as addicted to marijuana will not receive the same blanket treatment as someone with an opiate addiction. The treatment offered to either addict will be similar as a matter of principle, but differ in the details. Rehabilitation centers providing drug addiction programs make sure that each individual addiction case is handled on its own merit, and treatment programs prescribed based on the physician’s observations.
Drug addiction programs have proved to be helpful not only to the person receiving treatment but to his or her family as well. Close relatives, friends, workmates as well as schoolmates of drug abusers have found drug addiction programs to be helpful resources. Lives and relationships which had suffered from abuse, ignorance and neglect have been healed once a drug addict has successfully gone through a drug addiction program.
Drug addiction programs cannot be considered complete if they fail to provide the addict with some form of education about the effects of drug abuse, and about how to cope with situations where the temptation to abuse substance arise. Education offered to drug addicts who go through drug addiction programs may also teach them life skills which can be enormously helpful to those whose addiction has left them unemployable or without the usual social connections.
Education offered to the person going through the drug addiction program is conducted under several settings. One of these is one-on-one sessions with a counselor. The second is a support group, referred to as group therapy. The last setting is in the presence of family or loved ones. This is done so the addict recognizes the full effects addiction has had on those closest to him or her.
