$150 Million for Nicaragua
The country will strengthen its international reserves with a loan by IMF.
Monday, August 31, 2009
The loan was officially communicated by the Central Bank of Nicaragua, who added that: "...these resources provided by the International Monetary Fund will help Nicaragua consolidate its macroeconomic framework by strengthening its international reserves, reinforcing the country's financial security network and easing the impact of the global financial and economic crisis", reported Elnuevodiario.com.
A week after Antenor Rosales declared that international reserves "are not to be managed according to someone’s whims and preferences", he has been dismissed by President Ortega.
The Central Bank of Honduras informed they increased their monetary reserves with these $150 million.
A record amount of $1.938 billion in gross international reserves has been recorded in the country, a reflection of the stability and economic growth in recent years.
The Central Bank of Guatemala (Banguat) increased its international reserves with the approval of Special Wire Rights by the IMF.

I love to engage an audience. Tease, tempt, wow. Make them laugh, get them involved, spread your butter, love your brand, sit their bums firmly in their seats and open their eyes a little bit wider. That slight turn of the head, placing one ear more closely to the speaker, that's the effect I have. This goal isn't bound by media.
I've strategised, digitised and advertised. Bring me more.
I succeed as digital designer, brand creator, animator, film maker and director. The wide, world of web feels like home. How do I move seamlessly between so many disciplines? I know that good ideas work and the best ways to shout about them. I devour new ways of thinking. I adapt, experiment, play and work hard for it. My vision inspires others and my passion makes it happen. I make a difference wherever I work, whatever I do.
Design, marketing and advertising change subtly and yet massively each day. I actively develop my understanding of this ever widening landscape. Both frightening and exhilarating in equal measures, I continue to evolve with it.
Alongside commercial work, I often create self-initiated art and design projects as Wig-01; a partnership experimenting within art, design and ideas. We’ve created everything from tattoos, self-initiated book projects to conceptual animations screened at onedotzero at the ICA in London.

Hope Now Coalition:
The White house forms a new mortgage coalition to help people who are facing foreclosure. The ARM's resetting now and in the future can increase monthly payments by many hundreds of dollars, forcing more supply onto the market and driving prices down even further. The expectation is to help some two million households facing loss. The idea is to offer lower rates to individuals ho qualify and allow them to stay in their homes.
Affordable Housing Bill Passes the House
Now the House has just passed a bill, which Bush says he will veto if it gets to his desk. This is a much larger effort than Project Hope. The idea here is to create more affordable housing so that the boom that created such high prices cannot easily happen again. The House bill would create a federal trust fund to finance construction and rehabilitation of affordable housing. It would provide between $800 million to $1 billion a year with the goal of creating 1.5 million affordable housing units over the next decade by funding grants to a variety of housing providers.
The housing debacle has proven to many that housing has gotten beyond the reach of all but a few. I would like to see this bill pass so that homes remain within reach and job creation in America. Its how our money should be returned to us.

text: Specialising originally in the car market to become the UK’s largest provider of car finance, the company moved into the motorcycle sector last year, after signing a deal with KTM Austria. As KTM’s main European financier, they are concentrating on developing the business through around 30 KTM dealers in the UK. Paul Munns, Motorcycle Finance Development Manager, is a keen motorcyclist himself, and is putting together a specialist team to work with dealers to help them to sell more bikes, as well as finance. “We think customers will trust the Santander brand, which is a strong one, and we have done away with set up fees for customers, which is going down well. We will also be working hard to help the dealers as much as possible.” Paul was alerted to the networking opportunities that membership of the MCI could secure when he helped out on the KTM stand at last year’s Motorcycle Live. “We are hoping to get involved with the Service Providers group”, he explained “to participate in sharing best practice and to forge some good partnerships going forward”. “I’m also keen to come along to the MCI social events, which Membership Manager Sandra Cole has told me about, which sound like great opportunity to make new contacts in the industry”.

Fleadh ’22 legacy is new interest in trad music and singing
A new song to commemorate Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann 2022, the Homecoming, has been penned by traditional music maestro Dick Stokes and put to the tune of the popular Irish air, The Limerick Rake. Another legacy of Fleadh 2022 is the upsurge in people joining local branches of Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann and attending classes.
“I write songs occasionally, when there is something worth writing about, and the fleadh was such a success and so enjoyable I felt I should write about it,” Dick told the Westmeath Examiner.
His song refers to a number of musicians who had died since the previous fleadh, including Joe Burke and Paddy Maloney, and he mentioned Aisling Murphy, the Tullamore teacher who was tragically murdered while out for a run just over a year ago.
Dick is hopeful that someone will feel his song is worth singing: “That would be the biggest reward for me,” and that, “in years to come, we will look back and say we were there”.
As the county prepares for a bigger and better fleadh this year, there is evidence that interest in traditional music, song and dance has spiked in the area.
Last year’s fleadh was “unbelievable” and hopefully we will have good weather again this year to make it as big a success, Dick said. Even some fleadh veterans were “blown away” by the success of the Homecoming Fleadh in Mullingar and some of the upper echelons of Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann said it was “the best fleadh ever”, he reported.
Dick feels that fleadh 2022 banished the ghosts of the last Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann held in Mullingar in 1963, memories of which still haunted older patrons. The place wasn’t ready in 1963 and there were some undesirable aspects, he said, but after last year that is all forgotten.
“I talked to people from all over the country and they had nothing but good to say about last year’s Mullingar fleadh,” said Dick. He added that he had been to many fleadhanna down the years and “you wouldn’t be happy on the streets at night”.
“In Mullingar, everyone commented on how safe they felt, even people who were only there to soak up the vibes,” he said.
It is normal for interest in traditional music, song and dance to spike in an area after a fleadh, and that has been the case in Westmeath.
Dick reports a 30% to 40% increase in attendance at traditional classes in the Castletown Geoghegan branch of CCÉ – of which he is a member.
Other branches, such as Ballynacargy and Ballymore as well as some of the smaller branches, have seen a surge in membership and numbers at classes and it is reported that moves are afoot to set up a new branch in the Killucan Raharney area.
“Fingers crossed, that will happen and we will have an eighth branch in the county,” Dick said. He said that is one of the aims of the fleadh, to leave a legacy to the town and county.
He thanked the Westmeath Examiner for its coverage of the fleadh, saying it was done really well and captured the atmosphere.
Song to commemorate the Homing Fleadh, 2022
Now Robbie McMahon, that bard of renown
Wrote a song ‘bout the fleadh back in famed Ennis town
Well friends now draw near and a tale I’ll set down
Of the fleadh that was called the Homecoming.
T’was in twenty sixteen that the plan was laid down
For the fleadh to come back home to Mullingar town
Joe Connaire was the leader and his team rallied round
To bring the fleadh back to its birthplace.
But six years they went by ere the dream it came true
With the best-ever fleadh in the year twenty-two
After Covid and lockdowns and all kinds of blues
The people came out in their thousands.
The streets they were thronged and the music rang clear
With boxes and fiddles and great jigs and reels
They banished misfortunes of two Covid years
And they played till the lark in the morning
They came upon buses and cars bikes and trains.
And some even came on a private airplane.
But the gardaí were waiting – their trip was in vain
And they missed out on all of the hooley
From all over Ireland and Scotland and Spain
From the US, Australia and troubled Ukraine
From the world’s farthest corners the multitudes came
To be at the fleadh, the Homecoming.
The finest musicians and singers we saw
In competitions and sessions and concerts and all
And in the Cathedral the crowd were enthralled
With the great ceili band competition
The sun it shone down and the weather was great
And the streets they were crowded from early till late
No need for umbrellas or wellies or coats
Just slap on the old Factor 50
But since we last gathered I must now record
That some of our finest were called to the Lord
Great Tony McMahon and Chris Droney too
Joe Burke and the Chieftain Maloney
Will we e’er see another like Arty McGlynn
Or Mac Mathúna, brave Seamus that great man of song
And young Aisling Murphy, too soon she was gone
All these were recalled at the sessions
Well now it’s all over, the crowds are all gone
But the memories will linger and live with us long
Of Mullingar town and its half-million throng
Who came to the fleadh, the Homecoming
So well done to Joe and his hardworking crew
Colette, Willie and Enda, to name but a few
The year that’s ahead will bring challenges new
As they work on the second Homecoming
• Dick Stokes (August 12, 2022)

John McCain has decided to take matters into his own hands. to investigate Russian hacks.
Angry that there will likely be no “special committee,” McCain is going to defy Congress and investigate the “Russian hacks.”
From The Hill:
Congress likely will not form a select committee to investigate the influence Russian hacking played in the 2016 elections, Sen. John McCain(R-Ariz.) said Tuesday.
“Without the support of the leadership, then I would imagine it won’t [happen],” McCain told CNN’s Manu Raju. “But we’ll move ahead in the Armed Services Committee, and I’m sure other committees will.”
Despite bipartisan support for the idea, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell(R-Ky.) has voiced his opposition to creating a special committee, insisting the investigation should be left to the Intelligence Committee.
McCain, the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, has been among the most vocal supporters of a creating special committee to investigate cyberattacks on Democratic organizations that officials say originated in Russia. Intelligence analysts say the country was seeking to help the campaign of President-elect Donald Trump.
Trump has questioned reports of Russian meddling, including from U.S. intelligence officials, saying there’s no way to really know who hacked into the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton campaign emails.
The president-elect has also raised eyebrows with his frequent praise for Russian President Vladimir Putin.
During a campaign stop in September, Trump said Putin was a better leader than President Obama was for America. And last week, Trump praised Putin on Twitter as “very smart” for not retaliating against U.S. sanctions levied against Russia for election meddling.

There’s more where that came from: Trayvon Martin’s alleged killer has an online legal defense fund containing over $200,000. His initial bond was revoked due to Zimmerman and his wife lying to the court about how much money and assets the family actually had. (His wife was also arrested and charged for related reasons.) Notably, however, the influx of monetary support Zimmerman had upon his initial arrest has significantly slowed down — partly as a result of his original site being taken down and being replaced with this. Though Zimmerman has been released on bond, the conditions are much stricter this time around — he can’t open a bank account, go to an airport, or order a passport; he must wear an electronic monitor at all times; and he faces a tight curfew of 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. daily. source
» A possible crime vs. a questionable statement: Some have strongly criticized the audio, which paints Zimmerman as possibly making a joke about something which some might find offensive. (Here’s one example.) But, while troubling, the real issue to keep an eye on here is the possible money laundering. There is evidence (in the form of bank records) that Zimmerman and his wife tried to transfer the money at totals below $10,000 in an effort to avoid scrutiny of the money his Web site raised. A possibly tasteless joke? Definitely not great on top of everything else this case has thrust forward. But, of what’s been presented today, it’ll be those financial transactions which will have a real impact in the weeks and months ahead. Keep an eye out.
When your client is out on bond, the pressure is much lighter to rush to trial … because your client is sitting at home. When your client is sitting at the Seminole County Jail, your client is going to want this resolved.Orlando-based former prosecutor Randy McLean • Discussing the George Zimmerman trial. Zimmerman returned to Sanford, Fla. Sunday morning to turn himself in. His bond was revoked Friday on evidence he hid a passport and financial gains received from a Web site he put up in the wake of allegations against him. This constituted evidence that he was a flight risk. As McLean points out, this is a bit of a double-whammy for Zimmerman — as his lawyer waived his right to a speedy trial, meaning that it might be slow-going for the Trayvon Martin shooter as he waits for his trial to begin.
» Trayvon’s lawyer wants his bond revoked: A few weeks back, when George Zimmerman was having lawyer trouble, he put up a Web site asking publicly for donations, complete with a PayPal link. People donated in the hundreds of dollars to Zimmerman’s legal fund. According to his lawyer, Mark O’Mara, Zimmerman didn’t inform him of the donations until this week, and they’re now under his authority. That said, Zimmerman will most assuredly need the funds — O’Mara’s normal rate is $400 per hour, and he’s already worked 100 hours on the case. Do the math on that one, guys. This morning, the judge in the case asked to learn more information on how this happened, while the lawyers for Trayvon’s family say that during the bond hearing, Zimmerman and his lawyer acted as though “that they did not have any money.” Lots of drama here.

SRINAGAR: All Parties Hurriyat Conference led by Syed Ali Shah Geelani issued a statement on Tuesday regarding Yashwant Sinha led team's meeting with Geelani at his Hyderpora residence early this morning.
Here is the Statement
A high level delegation headed by former External Affairs Minister Mr. Yashwant Sinha dropped at the residence cum office of its chairman Syed Ali Geelani today at about 11:30 am. Delegation included Rtd. Air Vice Marshal Kapil Kak, Wajahat Habibullah, Senior Journalist Bharat Booshan and Executive Director of the Centre for Dialogue and Reconciliation Shashooba Barway.
Hurriyat said that conversation took place in a cordial atmosphere, wherein Geelani Sahab reminded them the historical perspective of the Kashmir issue, pending for its final resolution since 1947.
Hurriyat said that people have rendered huge sacrifices for settlement of this long standing dispute. Referring to the present uprising, delegation was told that for the last 107 days 94 people have been killed with 15,000 people injured and an equal number, especially youth are arrested. About 100 people are arrested daily and draconian laws like PSA are slapped on them and they are shifted to jails outside valley.
It was conveyed to the delegation, with all the updated data that arrested people include old as well as juvenile. Commenting on the prevailing situation it was said that onus of peace in the region particularly in Jammu and Kashmir lies with those holding power, military might and other resources. It was further said that along with people resistance activists and leaders have been put behind bars and Geelani Sahab himself is under house arrest for last 6 years.
All the people and leaders should be released and the cases against them should be withdrawn so that after consultation a common and collective point of view can be put forward.

The content of these newsletters are amazing, they give a flavour of what society was like when WEL first started in 1972, and how constricting life was for women.
The technology was very different in 1972 – there were no printers, computers, photocopiers, mobile phones, etc. There were only manual typewriters and the electronic typewriters (only IBM) were only just becoming popular. The landline phones not only had numbers, but letters of the alphabet as well – MX1234.
In 1972 to produce the 36 page newsletter was an enormous task. There was just so much to say that it could not be said in the few pages that newsletters are generally produced with now. But it wasn’t a matter of sending off to a printer to be produced and stapled. First a stencil had to be cut (a special waxed form which when typed on cut ‘holes’ in the waxed surface) and the stencil was then fitted to an ink-filled drum, which when rotated, it pressed against the surface of the paper and the page was produced.
You will notice if you look at the earlier editions of the newsletter that each page has been scanned twice. This is because the pages were printed on foolscap size paper – which is longer than the A4 size of today. My scanner could only accommodate A4, and so I had to scan the top of the page and then redo to make sure that the final paragraph was also captured.
Newsletters weren’t the only means of communication – the other process used by WEL was the ‘telephone tree’. This meant that there were groups of women who communicated messages with others and each taking responsibility for passing the message on. How they would have loved the technology of today with instant messaging and Facebook!
Some of these newsletters have been made available on the WEL website as a resource for students or for people interested in the history of the women’s movement. We have a concern that copies of the newsletter which reside in libraries and archives are not as accessible as they should be.
We want to honour the founders of the Women’s Electoral Lobby and to ensure that the names of women who have worked so diligently across the years in the fight for an equal society for women are not lost forever.

"Combining the two should enable us to develop and market highly innovative genotyping products for the research and diagnostics marketplaces," Donald R. Marvin, chief operating officer of Orchid BioSciences and acting general manager of Orchid Diagnostics, said in a statement.
Added Marc Casper, president of Thermo Electron's Life Sciences sector: "Through this partnership, we expect Orchid will be able to develop novel products for the growing number of researchers who want to conduct genotyping studies.
"And perhaps even more significant--together we intend to develop the diagnostic products that for the first time could make it possible for physicians to perform real-time diagnostic tests using medically relevant SNPs."
BioStar's thin-film optics technology, which uses optically coated surfaces and light, is used in a variety of applications, including detecting nucleic acids, proteins, PCR products, and pathogens, the company said.

the night of July 9–10, 1943, one of the most important operations during World War II began. The invasion of Sicily or Operation Husky would lead to the loss of the first European territory controlled by the Axis and served as a basis for the future invasion of Italy, as well as a training ground for soldiers who, 11 months later, arrived on the beaches of Normandy. But Operation Husky owes its success to another, less well-known operation. Operation “Mincemeat” which was one of the most complex deception operations during the war. It was, in fact, a very big farce made by the Allies to deceive the target of invasion on the continent.
Invasion of Sicily
To ensure the success of the invasion of Sicily, the Allies knew that they had to trick the Germans somehow, so they set up Operation Mincemeat. The aim was to give the Germans false information about the target of the Anglo-American invasion of the continent so that they could focus their attention and resources in another direction. It was reported to the movement of divisions, the transmission of false radio messages, the recruitment of Greek interpreters, as well as the acquisition of Greek maps.
All these movements indicated that the Allies were planning an invasion through the Balkans. Added to this is Operation Mincemeat, an extraordinary farce of the Allies that gave the Germans the last piece of the puzzle that showed them that the attack would come from the Balkans.
Once the fight on the North African front was won, the Allies could attack either through Italy or the Balkans, to capture the Germans between the Soviet army in the East and the Allied forces in the West. Sicily represented a very important strategic point because its control meant the reopening of the Mediterranean for Allied ships and the acquisition of a base for invasion on the continent. The Germans were also aware of the importance of the island and were almost convinced that this would be the target of an Allied invasion. Even Churchill declared that anyone would be sure that Sicily would be the target of the invasion.
However, the Allies had to somehow try to trick the Germans. The massive concentration of resources for Operation Husky would be detected by the enemies, warning them that a major offensive was following. But if they could deceive them about the target of the attack, then the Germans would be forced to disperse their forces. A few months before the summer of 1943, an RAF officer, Charles Cholmondeley, of MI6, came up with a suggestion.
His suggestion was to throw away the body of a man attached to a defective parachute in France, along with a radio. The idea was for the Germans to believe that the Allies did not know that the radio station was captured and to pretend that they were Allied agents in order to obtain information. In their turn, the British were going to give them false information. However, the plan was not accepted, but the idea was subsequently taken over by the MI5 department dealing with double agents. Cholmondeley worked in this department, as did Ewen Montagu. They would be the ones who set up Operation Mincemeat.
According to historian Ben Macintyre, who wrote a book about this operation, Cholmondeley would have been inspired by a 1939 memo written by none other than Ian Fleming, who, after the war, would have been inspired by his career as a law enforcement officer. information to give birth to the character James Bond. For his part, Fleming would have been inspired by a police novel from the 1930s.
Montagu and Cholmondeley turned Cholmondeley’s idea into a functional plan, replacing the radio with documents. The idea of planting documents on a dead parachute body was abandoned because the Germans knew that the Allies would never send secret documents on a route crossing enemy territory. But the victim of a plane crash at sea seemed much more credible. It was thus possible to explain why the man had been dead for several days and how to carry secret documents. The body was to be left near the coast of Spain, an officially neutral country, but collaborating with the Germans. The British were confident that the Spanish authorities would check any bodies found and allow the Germans to examine the found objects.
The idea of planting fake documents to be found by the enemy was not new. The British used this tactic in World War I. It had also been successfully used a year earlier in North Africa. Before the battle of Alam Halfa, a corpse was placed in a machine apparently sent for reconnaissance, exploded on the mined land near a German division. The Germans found next to the corpse a map showing the non-existent mined lands of the British Army. They fell into the trap and Rommel sent his tanks on another route, to avoid the British mines, however, reaching the area where the sand was so soft that the tanks were blocked.
The man who never was
The British called on the services of a well-known pathologist, Sir Bernard Spilsbury, to see what kind of body they needed. Most preferably a man who appeared to have died at sea from hypothermia or drowning and then floated for several days. Then came the problem of finding a suitable corpse, secretly and preferably without giving explanations, for example, to the family of the deceased. Finally, a corpse was obtained from a London morgue, the body of a 34-year-old man from Wales named Glyndwr Michael. He had died from poisoning rats. In his case, the real cause of death could not be detected later.
Then followed the creation of an identity for the dead. From Glyndwr Michael, he became William Martin, a Marine officer, born in 1907. He was awarded the rank of Major, which meant he could have been tasked with delivering secret documents, but not so important as being known to the Germans. In order to make this fake character more credible, the agents created a fiancee for Martin by the name of Pam. They also placed love letters as well as photographs with her in his wallet.
There was also made a letter apparently sent by the deceased’s father, a letter from the family lawyer and one from a bank official asking Martin to pay a debt. Martin also received a cross, a medallion with St. Christopher, a pencil, a set of keys, a bus ticket, theater tickets, a note from a hotel payment, and a receipt from a store for the purchase of a shirt. According to the ticket and hotel notes, Martin had left London on April 24, and if his body were to be found on April 30, he would have concluded that he had left England a few days earlier and collapsed by plane in the Mediterranean.
At the same time as the false identity of the one who was going to deceive the Germans was created, the documents were also produced. It was insisted that the documents must come from the highest circles of the British military leadership in order not to suspect that the authors are misinformed. The main document was a personal letter from “Archie Nye” (Sir Archibald Nye, the second man in command of the Imperial General Staff) to “My Dear Alex” (General Sir Harold Alexander), commander of Army Group 18 in Algeria and Tunisia.
In order to not seem strange, the letter did not just talk about the problem of the European front. For example, “Nye” wrote about the (unwanted by the British) awarding of Purple Heart medals by Americans to British soldiers who were fighting with them, as well as the appointment of a new unit commander known as the Guards Brigade. Regarding Allied plans in the Mediterranean, the letter referred to Operation Husky as the invasion of Greece through Egypt and Libya by an army led by General Henry Maitland Wilson. Also mentioned was a second attack, Operation Brimstone, which was apparently targeted at Sicily.
A second letter from the briefcase was addressed by Admiral Louis Mountbatten to Admiral Sir Andrew Cunningham, commander of the Mediterranean Fleet. In this letter, a joke about “sardines” was introduced, in the idea that the Germans will see here a reference to the planned invasion of Sardinia.
The Germans took the bait
On the morning of April 30, at 9.30, the corpse was found by a local fisherman and taken to Huelva. The information quickly reached the city’s Abwehr agent, Adolf Clauss. Three days later, the British attaché in Spain reported the discovery of the corpse, which was handed over to the British vice-consul for burial. The deputy consul also requested an autopsy, and the coroner determined that the man was still alive when he reached the water and died drowned. The British subsequently put Martin’s name on the list of victims that appeared in The Times on June 4, in case the Germans were planning to check.
Subsequently, messages were sent to the British Attaché of Spain regarding the papers Martin was carrying. It was ordered that the relevant documents be found as soon as possible and, if they were in the hands of the Spaniards, they would be recovered immediately, without giving the impression that it was something so important. The briefcase with the papers had arrived in the hands of the Spanish Navy, which handed it over to the General Staff. From there, they disappeared for a short time.
Major Karl-Erich Kuhlenthal, the most important Abwehr agent in Spain, was personally involved in locating the briefcase. Information about the mysterious briefcase came to Abwehr’s headquarters in Germany, and Wilhelm Canaris, the head of the organization, asked Kuhlenthal to intervene personally and persuade the Spaniards to give him the documents. Eventually, a Spanish officer gave the documents to the Germans. Carefully unpacking the envelopes, so that later the English would not realize that they had been opened, the Germans copied the documents and sent them to Berlin.
On May 13, the documents were returned to the British, with assurances from the Spaniards that nothing was missing. British specialists analyzed the envelopes and were able to confirm that they had been opened. Immediately afterward a message was sent to Churchill, who was then in the U.S.: “Mincemeat Swallowed Whole, The Germans had fallen into the trap.”
Convinced of the veracity of the documents, the Germans sent soldiers to Greece, Sardinia, and Corsica to regain their defensive capacity there. For the command of the Greek army was brought the renowned general Erwin Rommel, who had caused quite a lot of trouble to the Allies on the North African front. Three tank divisions were moved to Greece, one from France, another from the Eastern Front (thus reducing the attack force against the Russians in Kursk). However, the Germans did not withdraw all the soldiers from Sicily, but their defense capabilities were substantially reduced.
The surprise came on the night of July 9–10, when the Allies invaded the island. Despite the most recent maneuvers of the Allies, the Germans remained convinced that the main attack would come through Sardinia or Greece and did not delay the front of Sicily until it was too late.
The success of Operation Mincemeat made the Germans no longer trust the valuable documents they later found, even when the discovery was not an Allied maneuver. We must acknowledge how imperative this operation has been to the successful Allied invasion of Sicily and therefore it’s importance towards the Allied victory of World War II.

Grumble, grumble, grouse, growl . . .
I finally reached the top of the string bag and I can't help but notice how enormous this bag seems. It is only now that I realize the pattern called for a F hook (3.75mm) but I've been using an H hook (5.oomm). D'oh! And this, my friends, is why you should always check you gauge.
But I'll be damned if I'm going to rip it out and start over. I'll just call it a beach bag instead of a market bag and pretend I meant to make it big enough to hold a Buick.
By now, my entire left hand has turned green from the dye in this yarn. Luckily it washes off easily. This colorway is a bit obnoxious in a dense fabric, but the loops actually look kind of pretty. They remind me of goldfish scales. I'll post pics when I finally complete the handles.

If you're less than diligent when it comes to monitoring the your ATM withdrawals, here's some bad news. Two common checking-account missteps just hit their highest penalty level in almost twenty years, according to a new study by Bankrate.com.
The average fee for using an out-of-network ATM rose to $4.52 per transaction this year, while the average overdraft fee hit $33.07, according to Bankrate. Those numbers mark a record high for overdraft and ATM fees over the 18 years that the site has monitored them.
Atlanta topped the list of priciest places to get cash from an out-of-network ATM, at $5.15, while draining your account balance costs the most in Milwaukee, at $34.79, according to Bankrate, which surveyed 243 institutions that offered interest and non-interest checking accounts between July 9 and Aug. 5.

The Federal Reserve Board on Wednesday released its April 2024 Beige Book update, a summary of commentary on current economic conditions by Federal Reserve District. While the report covers generalized…
Bloomberg writers Agnieszka de Sousa, Ruth Olurounbi, and Jen Skerritt reported on Monday that, “As the coronavirus pandemic penetrates more deeply into global supply chains, prices for key staples are starting to soar in some parts of the world.
“Rice and wheat — crops that account for about a third of the world’s calories — have been making rapid climbs in spot and futures markets. For countries that rely on imports, this is creating an added financial burden just as the pandemic shatters their economies and erodes their purchasing power. In Nigeria, for example, the cost of rice in retail markets soared by more than 30% in the last four days of March alone.
It’s unclear what the biggest drivers were for the retail prices, whether it was a trickle-down effect from grain futures or local logistical choke points or panic buying, or a combination.
The Bloomberg writers pointed out that, “To be clear, it’s likely the supply disruptions could prove temporary. And that will probably mean that wheat and rice will stabilize. In the last several years, food costs have been relatively benign thanks to plentiful supplies. Global rice and wheat reserves are both projected at all-time highs, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
“But in the meantime, higher prices seen in recent weeks could hit countries that are more sensitive to fluctuations.”
With respect to domestic food prices, Wall Street Journal writers Jaewon Kang and Jacob Bunge reported on Monday that, “Wholesale egg prices have more than tripled as consumers’ coronavirus-driven buying clears supermarket shelves, piling up costs for grocers as they struggle to keep the staple in stock and affordable.
“Egg prices for grocers across the U.S. averaged $3.01 a dozen at the end of last week, compared with 94 cents at the beginning of March, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture data.
“That rise far outpaces cost increases for other common foods like ground beef. Wholesale costs for whole chickens, butter, cheese and ham have fallen, despite consumers rushing to stock up, partly because of plunging demand from restaurants.”
The Journal article explained that, “Rising egg prices, along with rapidly changing prices for other food commodities, are compounding grocers’ budgeting and planning challenges as the coronavirus pandemic forces Americans to shift from restaurant dining to eating at home. Soaring prices are frustrating some grocery-chain executives, who are scrambling to secure supplies and girding for prices to rise even higher, while trying to hold prices stable for consumers.”
Meanwhile, Reuters writer Tom Polansek reported this week that, “Tyson Foods Inc said on Monday it shut an Iowa hog slaughterhouse after more than 24 cases of COVID-19 involving employees at the facility, in the latest disruption to the U.S. food supply chain from the coronavirus outbreak.”
“Tyson said it will divert hogs to other pork plants in an attempt to minimize the disruption from the closure of its slaughterhouse in Columbus Junction, Iowa, this week,” the Reuters article said.
And Jacob Bunge reported on Monday at The Wall Street Journal Online that, “The coronavirus pandemic is hitting U.S. meat operations, slowing and temporarily halting production at some plants as sickness and fear keep workers home.
“Meat plant employees, working by the hundreds in plants, with many standing side by side on processing lines, play a critical role in replenishing supermarkets. But workers’ concerns that they could contract the coronavirus have prompted walkouts and complaints, while a growing number of positive cases prompts some meat companies to scale back operations.”
Mr. Bunge noted that, “The slowdowns come as the $213 billion U.S. meat industry tries to adjust to the coronavirus-forced changes to American eating habits, reorienting the flow of ground beef, chicken breasts and sausage toward supermarkets and away from restaurants.”
Politico writers Adam Behsudi and Ryan McCrimmon reported this week that, “Richard Guebert Jr., Illinois Farm Bureau president, said his state’s meatpacking companies have fewer employees showing up because of concerns of being too close to other workers.
‘The industry is backing up on bacon and other products that they put together as cut-outs, so they’re slowing down and not doing the volume that they had,’ Guebert said.
Also this week, Reuters writer Karl Plume reported that, “Four workers at an Archer Daniels Midland Co corn processing facility in Clinton, Iowa, have tested positive for coronavirus, the company said on Monday.”
However, the article indicated that, “‘Right now, we are able to continue operations at the plant with some staffing adjustments. We are continuing to closely monitor the situation and are communicating with employees and local health authorities as things evolve,’ ADM spokeswoman Jackie Anderson said in an emailed statement.”
Beyond concerns associated with meat plant employees, Washington Post writer Abha Bhattarai reported on Monday that, “Major supermarket chains are beginning to report their first coronavirus-related employee deaths, leading to store closures and increasing anxiety among grocery workers as the pandemic intensifies across the country.”
“Thousands of grocery employees have continued to report to work as U.S. infections and death rates continue to climb, with many reporting long shifts and extra workloads to keep up with spiking demand. Many workers say they don’t have enough protective gear to deal with hundreds of customers a day. Dozens of grocery workers have tested positive for the coronavirus in recent weeks,” the Post article said.
In other ag labor news associated with COVID-19, the Florida Crop Progress and Condition report, published on Monday by USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service, noted that, “Multiple varieties of vegetables were being planted and harvested throughout the state; however, several producers reported abandoning, plowing under, or dumping millions of pounds of crops due to the impacts of COVID-19 on the food service industry.”

Irwin Garfinkel conducts research on the costs and benefits of welfare state programs. Much of this work has focused on the economic insecurity of single mothers and their children and policies designed to increase their security. Garfinkel’s seminal work on child support policy has shed light on the nature, consequences, and promise of child support enforcement for ensuring economic security for children. In partnership with Sara McLanahan, Garfinkel developed the Fragile Families and Child Well-being Study (funded by NICHD and foundations), that has become an important national resource providing new data on the growing—but little understood—population of unmarried parents and their children. In addition, Garfinkel is the Principal Investigator of the Robin Hood funded Poverty Tracker project, which uses representative longitudinal data from New York City to track the dynamics of poverty and wellbeing over time.
Christopher Wimer conducts research on the measurement of poverty and disadvantage in both local and national contexts, as well as historical trends in poverty and the impacts of social policies on the poverty rate. He is the Project Director on the Robin Hood Poverty Tracker, and also manages and participates in the research on many of the Center’s poverty-related research projects. In addition to Wimer’s research on measuring poverty and disadvantage, he also focuses on how families cope with poverty and economic insecurity, with a particular focus on how families manage food insecurity and other forms of material hardship. His work pays particular attention to the role of government policies and programs and their potential impacts on the wellbeing of low-income families and children.


Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is one of the most common lip and oral cavity cancer types. It requires early detection via various medical technologies to improve the survival rate. While most detection techniques for OSCC require testing in a centralized lab to confirm cancer type, a point of care detection technique is preferred for on-site use and quick result readout. The modular biological sensor utilizing transistor-based technology has been leveraged for testing CIP2A, and optimal transistor gate voltage and load resistance for sensing setup was investigated. Sensitivities of 1 × 10-15 g/ml have been obtained for both detections of pure CIP2A protein and HeLa cell lysate using identical test conditions via serial dilution. The superior time-saving and high accuracy testing provides opportunities for rapid clinical diagnosis in the medical space.

There are annoying TV characters everywhere! I feel like sometimes they help to further story lines and other times they’re just dead weight that could be cut out of the show. Who knows why writers put in characters that get on everyone’s nerves. Here are nine of the most annoying TV characters according to me.
1. Allison Cameron
This was a rough one. I couldn’t choose between Cameron and Foreman from “House, M.D.” for most annoying character on the show. They both drove me crazy, but when it comes down to it, Cameron’s whiny nature and weird crush on House made her the winner. Even when she left the show and came back, she still found a way to be annoying by acting like she was better than House’s new doctors. I just could never really find her likable and believe me, I tried!

“5+5” SUMMIT IN MALTA IN 2011
|Professor Roderick Pace
Director European Documentation & Research Centre, University of Malta
In 2011 Malta hosts the summit of the “5+5” Western Mediterranean Dialogue. The Dialogue meets at Ministerial and occasionally at heads of government level. Libya is proposing a parliamentary meeting of the “5+5” and the Speaker of the Maltese House of Representatives canvassed for it at a meeting of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Mediterranean (PAM) in Morocco. It is not clear what the “5+5” has achieved so far, but the Dialogue would have certainly fizzled out had the participating states not derived any utility from it.
Since independence, Malta has been a leading advocate of Mediterranean security. On joining the Council of Europe in May 1965, it promised to raise Mediterranean issues in that quintessentially European organization. During the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE), often referred to as the Helsinki Process, Malta linked European and Mediterranean security (Helsinki 1975, Madrid 1983) – arguing that the latter was a sine qua non for the other. The island’s methods were controversial: using the consensual decision-making rule to block progress until her demands were met, Malta risked exclusion from the process. However, watered down versions of her demands were half-heartedly accepted by the CSCE. Malta’s stands could have unwittingly jeopardized the more important CSCE objective of improving security in central Europe. One beneficiary from this would have been Mao’s China, since Beijing feared that détente and disengagement in Central Europe would free Soviet forces to be redeployed to the Sino-Soviet border. In January 1972, Malta had recognized the People’s Republic and relations between the two countries flourished, with Beijing providing a substantive aid package. On the other hand both superpowers – and particularly the USA, as events from Portugal to Cyprus and the Middle East would show from 1973-74 – perceived Mediterranean security purely from a Cold War perspective and balance of power politics.
The “5+5” began in 1990 as “the Western Mediterranean Dialogue”. It was inspired by a 1983 proposal by French President Francois Mitterrand. Initially Malta was excluded from the Dialogue but then joined it in 1991. The “5+5” consists of Algeria, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco and Tunisia as well as Italy, France, Malta, Portugal and Spain. In 1992, the Dialogue stopped functioning due to the international sanctions imposed on Libya, the deteriorating relations between Algeria and Morocco over the Western Sahara and the Algerian civil war. The latter two conflicts also stopped the Maghreb Union in its tracks. In 1994, Egypt and France set up the Mediterranean Forum from which Malta was initially excluded. Later it was invited to join the Forum and was present at the 1995 Foreign Ministers’ meeting in Sainte-Maxime. That year the “Barcelona Process” or Euro-Mediterranean Partnership was also launched. This included a security dialogue which however turned out to be a spectacular dead end. In 2008 we witnessed the launching of the Union for the Mediterranean.
The “5+5” is an intergovernmental initiative. One of its aims was to allow the participating states to focus on sub-regional security challenges without linking them to the Middle East Problem. But as I just indicated, the problems of the sub-region itself could also freeze the dialogue – something which may have been overlooked by its architects.
The last three “5+5” meetings, including the ministerial which took place in Tunisia last April, have focused on immigration, organized crime and terrorism. The forthcoming 2011 Malta summit is also likely to prioritize these themes. More than a spoonful of spice was added to the immigration debate when last September the Libyan Leader Colonel Gaddafi let the Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi know during a bilateral summit in Rome, that Libya wants €5 billion a year from the EU to stop illegal immigrants from crossing over to Europe. On 1 September 2010, an informal “5+5” ministerial meeting was held in Tripoli on immigration. In the meantime, the EU is still negotiating a first ever agreement with Libya, the only Mediterranean country still with no formal contractual links with the EU.
Italy and Malta both have an interest in stopping illegal immigration in the central Mediterranean. Malta has supported last year’s Italo-Libyan bilateral accord which has practically ended irregular immigration flows. In May 2010, the Italian Interior Minister Roberto Maroni said that 850 immigrants had been turned back at sea as opposed to the some 37,000 estimated to have actually landed on Italian shores the previous year. Malta has experienced a similar dramatic fall in arrivals, from 2,775 in 2008 and 1,450 in 2009 (the Libyan-Italian pact went into operation in the second half of that year) to a negligible 47 in 2010. The Italian-Libyan agreement and the consequent “respingimenti in mare” have drawn criticism from human rights groups, UNHCR and the Vatican while the policy’s success has also encouraged Gaddafi to increase the price of his services. Libya does not want to be Europe’s border guard. It is not clear what role if any was played by the “5+5” on this issue, so far.
Nevertheless, the “5+5” has proved to be a very useful security dialogue in the Western Mediterranean. But the EU members of this club need to be more forceful in securing EU backing for their stabilization policies in the sub-region. Some years ago they started co-ordinating their action in informal meetings of the so called “Olive Group” of Mediterranean EU states. This group consists of Bulgaria, Cyprus, France, Greece, Italy, Malta, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain and Romania. Its main aim is to ensure that the Mediterranean stays on the EU agenda. The group met six times, once in Cyprus, and its last meeting took place in Messina in December 2008. Will it be reborn like the phoenix – reproduce itself rather than by the agency of others?
 PAM’s Secretariat is located in Malta.

It's always fun to learn about ditched video game projects that almost were.
For example, we know Criterion Games as the racing masters; the team that brought you various Need for Speed and Burnout titles have excelled in the world of virtual driving. But everyone makes mistakes, as illustrated by studio director Alex Ward.
On his Twitter page, he discussed several failed attempts, including a concept that would've been called "Need for Speed: Millionaire." Basically, you hit the lottery and started buying supercars for you and your friends, and "it was supposed to be Freeburn meets Top Gear challenges." Ward said the team struggled to make it work – they even had a playable build – but ultimately ended up making the well-received Hot Pursuit .
Then they tried a new Burnout set on the famous Route 66 . Ward said the team actually rented cars to do it for real but again, it just didn't pan out. Lastly, Criterion tried a different genre: They wanted to make a quasi-open-world Medal of Honor entry that would let the player assume the role of the Germans (oh, all sorts of controversial):
"I once spent a month or so writing up a Medal of Honor game where you played as the Germans. For the first half. Invading England. I was a HUGE MoH fan back in the day. Would have loved a crack at it. Would have gone open world a bit too. And been very British at core."
Yeah, I loved MoH once, too. And this would've been interesting, no doubt. But we're happy that Criterion stuck with the ideas that did work, 'cuz those are great games.

Due to the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, winter 2020-2021 is likely to be the season of the at-home manicure. Luckily, it's also a season full of cool nail trends, from funky shapes to creative designs. Whether you are taking nail tech classes this season or are just looking for a way to add some excitement to your DIY manicure, here are some of the top nail trends to try.
With its short days and long nights, winter is a time for rich, dark colors. That holds true for your nails, too. One of the most trending nail colors this season are deep, dark blue and bold and beautiful burgundy.
A brilliant cobalt blue on each nail is eye-catching enough without being too demanding of attention. It's cool and sophisticated, much like winter itself.
Meanwhile, a romantic burgundy brings to mind the holiday season. For a particularly dramatic look, consider pairing dark burgundy nails with a matching burgundy lipstick.
Think of geometric shapes as a beginner's way to give nail art a try. Compared to some of the more intricate designs you have might have seen on nails lately, geometric patterns are pretty easy to do.
One way to give the trend a try is to paint the nails a dark base color, such as black or dark blue. Then, paint a bold, bright stripe up and down the length of the nail. Instead of polish, you can cut nail stickers in a variety of shapes and affix them to the nails.
Nails of Many Colors
Ever feel indecisive about which color to pick during your manicure? This next trend is for you. Instead of painting each nail the same hue, choose a different color for each nail.
There are many ways to play with the trend. You can choose several colors that complement each other, such as three monochromatic shades or two neutrals and one pop of color. You can paint your nails the color of the rainbow. Or, you can mix it up and give yourself a version of a French manicure, swapping the traditional white tips for an array of hues.
Animal prints, whether they are cheetah, zebra or tiger, count as a neutral in plenty of people's books. Although attention-grabbing, they also count as a neutral on your nails. You can wear nails with animal patterns with pretty much anything.
How much of the nail you want to be covered in the pattern is up to you. Some go for an all-over print while others tone it down with a floating design.
All That Glitters
The holiday season is all about sparkles and metallics and winter 2020-2021 will be no exception. Go full-on metallic with your nails by painting them a shiny silver or glittery gold. You can combine two trends into one by picking a deep shade, such as cobalt or midnight blue that has some glitter mixed in.
Another way to take on the trend is to go for a metallic French manicure. Use silver or glitter polish on the tips of your nails in place of basic white.
For many people, 2020 has been all about scaling back and simplifying. While several nail trends this season are all about flash and style, one trend is decidedly more understated. A barely-there manicure, with a sheer, neutral shade, will call attention to the health of your nails. It's a great option for when you want to show off another part of your look, whether it's a bold lip, funky eyeshadow or vibrant sweater.
Which nail art trend for winter appeals to you the most? Whether you're all about deep colors and shiny glitter or prefer a more understated look, you can improve your nail art game and help others get healthy, happy nails by becoming a nail technician.

On a day when Wall Street and the London Stock Exchange remained closed, the Greek bourse secured a rather satisfactory turnover of almost 50 million euros on Monday, with traders opting to position themselves ahead of this Friday's upcoming index rebalancing. Leading the benchmark to strong gains were bank stocks, which were oversold in previous sessions.
The Greek securities markets are showing a shift from stocks to bonds, as confidence in the state's solvency is growing while the private sector is facing multiple problems. On the same day the benchmark of Athinon Avenue suffered minor losses and banks dipped to new lows, the Greek 10-year bond continued its rally, with its yield dropping to 1.73% on Thursday.
Greek traders seemed to respond to the heat wave on Monday, swimming well in shallow waters, as the local stock market posted significant gains on very limited turnover. Banks and a few select blue chips led the way, as international markets were boosted by news of a possible breakthrough in terms of a coronavirus vaccine.
The benchmark of the Greek stock market ended every session this week below the 600-point mark, as Friday's gains - largely driven by Wall Street's healthy rise on Thursday - were contained toward the end of the session.
The Athens Exchange (ATHEX) general index ended at 593.26 points, adding 0.87% to Thursday's 588.12 points. On a weekly basis it declined 1.79%.
Bank stocks came under fresh pressure on Thursday, with the benchmark yielding more ground at the close despite spending some time in the black during the day. Global pessimism regarding the economy and the World Health Organization's statement that the coronavirus may never go away weighed on most markets, with Athinon Avenue proving to be no exception.

The below article was posted on Fraternal Thoughts blog, upon reading please take a moment to reflect upon your own collegiate experience…..
So without further ado:
Congratulations to those graduating this year! You deserve to celebrate and reflect upon your achievements. I also invite you to understand that in regards to fraternity, it ain’t over. Not by a long shot.
The other night, my son Jack pulled Shel Silverstein’s The Giving Tree off his shelf. In this tale, a young boy develops a relationship with a large tree, climbing her, playing in her branches, incorporating her into his imaginary stories, and simply resting beside her large trunk. The tree loved the little boy and the boy loved the tree.
As the boy grew, his use for his beloved tree changed. Life circumstances drew him away from the tree, which saddened her. She would wait anxiously for his return, and through the book, we see him come back to her at pivotal times in his life. As a young man, he tells the tree that he needs money. She tells him that she has no money, but he can harvest her apples and sell them, which he does. Later, he returns as a middle-aged man, and tells her that he wants a house. She has no house to give, but encourages him to take her branches to build a house. He does. He comes back to her as an older man, with a desire to go far away from home – to sail somewhere free from problems. She offers her trunk so that he may build a boat, and he takes it. What’s left of the tree is a stump, still firmly rooted in the ground.
Each step along the way, when the boy would return and request more and more from the tree, she was excited to give him what he needed. Each time the boy would take something, the book tells us: “and the tree was happy.”
Many more years pass, and the boy returns as a very old man. The tree is excited to see him, but tells him that she has nothing left to provide – no apples, no branches, and no trunk. All she is, she tells him, is just a stump. The man tells her that he is too old to need anything but a place to rest his weary bones. The tree tells him that a stump is good for resting, and encourages him to come rest on her. He does.
And the tree was happy.
Consider this story as you prepare to leave your undergraduate years. These last few years in the fraternity or sorority were like the years the tree first spent with the little boy. The fraternity was excited to have you. It wanted you to use it for play, to learn critical lessons, to build the story of your life. Likewise, you loved and needed the fraternity. It’s “fruit” were the relationships you built with your brothers and sisters – relationships that became your family. It’s “branches” were the moments it gave you so that you could experience the carpe diem of college life. The “trunk” served as the memories that stay sturdy and strong as the rest of life moves on. The fraternity became a part of your life, and you, a part of hers.
So now you are an alum. Like the boy in the story, you’ll likely return to the fraternity or sorority for different needs as your life pivots and changes. You may ask her for things – and she will graciously give them to you. A fraternity is a selfless giver – always wanting her members to be happy and fulfilled. And we gladly take. We take her fruit, her branches, and her trunk. They help us navigate this crazy, awful, beautiful life. In return, we give her the joy of seeing her members live lives of significance. She doesn’t ask for anything else. But, that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t give her more. We can become the “giving tree” for her.
As an alum, you can give the fraternity the gift of mentorship. You can be a guide and a resource for new members. You can also give the fraternity the gift of your presence by attending national events, serving as an advisor, and contributing as an alumni leader. You can give the fraternity your treasure, donating to educational foundations and house corporations. You can do all of these things, and the fraternity will be better because of them.
But there is a gift even greater. There is a part of the fraternity that we haven’t yet discussed. In The Giving Tree, it’s the stump. It’s the part that is always there even after the rest is taken. It’s our Ritual. Our values. Our codes. Our oaths. Our declarations to be better men and women by living the core values of our fraternities. It was the greatest gift the fraternity gave you, and will continue to give you every day of your life.
And the greatest gift you can give her in return is to live her ritual every day. When you do, you honor her. When you don’t, you slight her.
Remember that your undergraduate years are only the beginning – and not the end. Your fraternity gave you a guide for how to live life to its fullest. When the many twists, turns, and bumps of life come your way, remember this gift. She will be there in the good times and the bad. She can help you build a marriage, raise a family, advance a career, and enhance the world. All you need to provide is integrity – a willingness to stay true to her teachings.
If you do, then your story may read like this:
After many years, the boy returned to the fraternity. She was so excited to see him that she could barely speak. The boy looked at the fraternity and spoke with conviction.
“I return today to thank you and tell you about the life you prepared me for. You gave so much to me, and I’ve tried to repay those gifts by living your values.”
He continued. “You gave me the confidence to make hard decisions, and through my life I tried to always do what was right. You taught me the power of responsibility, and I was always true in my words and actions. Leadership is another gift you gave me, and because of you, I’ve always stepped forward when needed. You also gave me a chance to serve my fellow man, and I assure you that I haven’t stopped.”
“I stand more proudly because of you. I am kinder to others because you asked me to be. And I am rarely alone thanks to the extended family you helped me find. You gave me all of this, and more.”
“But I’m not sure that I have anything left to give,” the fraternity replied.
“All I want is a chance to read your Ritual once again.” said the boy.
“Then come, rest for a while, and read.” said the fraternity. “There are even more lessons to learn. You are not yet finished with this life; not yet finished giving.”
After a while, as the boy set to leave, the fraternity spoke. “You honor me by giving,” she said. Never stop sharing your unique gifts and my unique teachings with this world. Give. Give. Give.”
And the boy did.
And the fraternity was happy.

I was fortunate enough a couple of years ago to see Prince perform in an intimate venue at London’s Roundhouse. I hadn’t expected a 55 year old pop star in elaborate clothing to belt out songs like he used to, but instead Prince blew the roof of this former Victorian steam engine shed.
Not only did Prince play a two hour set that was so incredible it would turn a Christian to the devil’s music, but he also came back on 1.5 hours later and did it all again on the same stage! If he was jetlagged from having just flown in, it definitely didn’t show.
At the time I wouldn’t have called myself a dedicated Prince fan, mainly because I wouldn’t often get home and put on an album even though I owned 3. That’s the thing with some musicians, we don’t identify ourselves as fans but if someone held a gun to our head, we could sing every lyric. I was 8 years old when Purple Rain was released so just a bit too young to really appreciate it fully at the time, but then I heard Sign O’ The Times and Alphabet Street and they sealed my fate as a Prince fan.
So when the pint-sized-music-giant, played two secret gigs in the Camden’s Roundhouse, I jumped at the chance to see Prince and his beautiful backing band 3RDEYEGIRL play.
There are some musicians who make performing look effortless. Who hit the right notes, jump around the stage whilst manipulating the strings on a guitar and who never appear breathless during high-octane sets. Prince and his merry band of musicians played a two hour set which would leave most performers foaming at the mouth. It was perfection. A sound and performance that was honed over the course of forty years, without feeling like they were simply going through the motions or of being so pre-rehearsed that it lost the magic of the moment.
Seeing Prince Live
The atmosphere on the night and walking away from the gig afterwards, was electric. The sound was so large it filled every space and appeared to please every generation from young teens up to those in their 70’s. That to me is the true sign of a timeless musician!
Eric Clapton was once asked what it’s like to be the best guitar player in the world. He told the interviewer that he didn’t know and they should go ask Prince. So having seen Prince slide his fingers up and down the neck of a guitar and unleash an electrifying and familiar sound I definitely agree.
The music world has lost another giant and although many more will come and go, they will never be another quite like Prince.
