Covering lead and backing vocals while playing over rapidly shifting arrangements—with a refreshing open-handed approach—she can’t help but make Helms Alee stand out on today’s indie-rock scene.
Over the course of three full-length albums, Helms Alee, from Seattle, has developed an appealing sound that references a number of heavy styles from the past twenty years. The distillation of sludge metal, post-hardcore, and melodic rock continues to progress on the group’s latest album, Sleepwalking Sailors.
All three members of Helms Alee—singer/vocalist Hozoji Matheson-Margullis, guitarist/vocalist Ben Verellen, and bassist/vocalist Dana James— contribute to the writing process, and the trio took the better part of three years to create Sleepwalking Sailors, whose broad range of moods and dynamics is bolstered by a huge drum sound emanating from a late-’60s script-badge Rogers kit. “My dad bought me my _ rst drumset when I was fifteen,” Matheson-Margullis says, “and I play that to this day. I’ve been through a couple of other kits, but the Rogers is still my favorite.”
Matheson-Margullis took drum lessons for about a year after getting that Rogers set, and her parents were supportive of her taking up stringed instruments as well. But it’s clear when talking to her that simply being a music fan during a particularly fertile period in Washington State rock ’n’ roll provided much of her education. Aside from classic groups like Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin, artfully raging bands like the Melvins, Big Business, Karp, and Murder City Devils loomed large on the ’90s Northwest scene, and drummers like Sara Lund from Unwound made for serious inspiration. “I saw her play for the _ rst time a month after I got my first drumset,” Matheson-Margullis recalls, “and that was a really big deal to me. I wanted to be just like her.”
In addition to being the drummer in Helms Alee, Matheson-Margullis plays guitar and sings alongside her high school friend and fellow drummer Justine Maria Valdez in Lozen, a band that predates Helms. A quick listen to the distinct but equally intense two piece suggests that a youthful catharsis fuels whatever project Matheson-Margullis undertakes. “As soon as I started playing, I would just bash and scream,” Hozoji says. “I’ve always been naturally drawn to that. It feels really good to beat the shit out of the drums, but it’s really next level for me to play the drums
We’ll get more into that subject presently, but let’s go back to the mammoth drum sound on Sleepwalking Sailors for a moment. It seems not to have hurt having former These Arms Are Snakes drummer Chris Common at the controls. Common, who has also worked behind the board for the progressive metal bands Pelican and Mouth of the Architect, tracked to tape in a high-ceiling room at Studio Litho in Seattle, furthering a deep, drum-forward mix. “Working with Chris was fun and rewarding,” Matheson-Margullis says. “He’s a real hyper guy, and he used that energy to focus his ear deep on sound quality and the creative flow of ideas. He had that perfect combination of being super-hardworking and devoted but fun to be around for twelve intense hours at a time.”
Of course, a great drum sound is nothing without a commanding, creative player, and Matheson-Margullis keeps the intensity and ambition at a high level by continually pushing herself, especially in the studio. “I have the same challenge with every recording session,” she explains, “in that I write beats that are slightly outside my comfort zone and then I have to face them under the studio microscope, where I’m [forced to deal with the fact that I’m] not quite as good at playing them as I thought I was. This can send me into a mental spiral that sucks me so deep into my mind that I become almost completely disconnected from my body and lose all ability to control my motor functions for a bit. I inevitably work my way back until I reach the point of being able to play the beat in question better than I ever have before.”
Matheson-Margullis confirms that her thundering tom-tom work is influenced by the Melvins’ Dale Crover but adds that it’s also inspired by her Native American heritage. Hozoji, who is Puyallup—when not on tour, she works as a commercial clam diver for the western Washington State tribe—says, “I’ve always been drawn to native-style drumming. I went to powwows a lot as a kid, and still do.” Consult YouTube for a Puyallup powwow, then follow it with a live clip of Helms Alee performing “Lefty Handy Man Handle” from its 2008 debut album, Night Terror, and it’s not hard to see the connection.
Among Matheson-Margullis’s drumming approaches is playing open-handed ride patterns, which she was inspired to try in 2007 by Clint Baechle, the drummer with OVVL and Hazzard’s Cure. “I wasn’t playing drums with anyone then,” Hozoji recalls. “I was in a lull, and when Ben and Dana asked me to play with them, I figured I had nothing to lose. I’d seen Clint play open-handed, and he was just shredding. I was enchanted by that and decided I was going to try playing that way. I fell in love with it, and it totally changed the way that I write. It makes you play different beats and it’s really efficient, so I highly recommend it for everyone.”
In Matheson-Margullis’s role as a lead singer, she might have to sing in one time signature while playing a drumbeat in another, upping the ante. “Playing drums and singing is something that I’ve worked hard on since I first started playing drums,” Hozoji says, “because it feels so good. It’s always challenging at first when we’re writing a new song, but that’s true of all aspects of writing and playing music. It’s just a matter of having patience for the repetition. Do it enough times and your body and mind will sync up and allow you to accomplish what you’ve set out to do.”
Still, singing over math-rock workouts like the five-beat triplet pattern under Sleepwalking Sailors’ “Dangling Modifiers” must take some serious calculating. But Matheson-Margullis tries not to get hung up on the math. “More often than not I write entirely around feeling the riff,” she says. “Occasionally I will have a specific skill or style in mind that I want to build up or include in a song, and I will purposely write it in. But most of the time I just listen and reply.”
Helms Alee’s countering of moody melodic passages with brutally loud sections is powered in part by guitarist Ben Verellen’s company, Verellen Amplifiers, which builds 300-watt guitar heads. That’s more than double the output of your average Marshall, kids. Matheson-Margullis seems unfazed by the epic volume, though. “I’ve never been in a band that didn’t have really loud guitars,” she says, “so I was trained from the beginning to beat the hell out of my drums. It was never even a thought process for me. I just started as a frustrated teenager playing with other frustrated teenagers, and we all wanted to thrash, so we did, and it was loud. Now I’m a grown woman—not quite so thrashy, but still beating the hell out of my drums.”
Tools of The Trade
Matheson-Margullis’s late-’60s black Rogers kit includes 12″ and 13″ rack toms, a 16″ floor tom, and a 22″ bass drum. Hozoji plays a 14″ Yamaha snare, and her cymbals include 14″ Zildjian hi-hats, a 16″ Zildjian A Custom Projection crash, and an 18″ crash and 20″ ride from Sabian’s Paragon line. Her Yamaha hardware includes a single bass drum pedal, and she plays Regal Tip Quantum 3000 nylon-tip sticks.

[Coco] Private: Re: Pop*Star Pilot available for pre-purchase

Hmmm. This is copied and pasted from PayPal's site PayPal Fees
Transaction Fees for Domestic Payments
It's always free to send money to friends and family when you use your
PayPal balance or bank account. Fees apply only if the sender uses a
credit or debit card, or if you receive any payment for goods or
services. There are also:
* No monthly fees to maintain a PayPal account.
* No setup fees.
* No gateway fees.
* No fees for multiple eBay and merchant tools.
Don't know what to make of your experience. Perhaps:
A) The rules are different when you send to a person who lives in
another country (above mentions 'domestic' payments)
B) The rules are different if you have a 'business' account
Like I said before, I'm definitely not a big fan of PayPal. You never
know what to expect from them. If you are a seller and have a
transaction with an unscrupulous buyer, PayPal will almost always side
with the buyer. The buyer can rake you over the coals and whatever they
say PayPal will believe. I say, 'PayPal' but normally it's just an
automatic computer response that you will get. You do not communicate
with real people there very often, they don't respond to any emails, and
there's not much you can do to contest a buyer that is trying to take
advantage of you.

This is a basic specification for a human moderation support package using News::Gateway, including design concerns and a draft of the interface between a front end and the back-end package.
If you are reading this from some other source, the canonical version of this document is doc/moderate.pod in the News::Gateway distribution.
The role of the core News::Gateway module is to provide an interface to do article rewrites and checks, leaving what to do about failing checks up to the program using it. As such, a full implementation of human moderation support is beyond the scope of the core module and should be implemented separately. This is a specification for how that could be done, using the News::Gateway core to do the rewriting.
Human moderation has an inherently more complex data path than robomoderation, since the article has to be stored until a human moderator can look at it, the moderator should be able to approve or reject it easily, the moderator needs to be able to edit the stored article, and a variety of interfaces (including e-mail and web) need to be supported, each with its own implementation and security concerns.
This implementation is designed to allow for easy separation of the front end that the moderator talks to and the back end that actually manipulates the article spool. This is crucial to being able to cleanly implement a variety of front ends. This implementation also seeks to impose no policy limitations on what the moderator can do to articles, as things inappropriate for one group may be appropriate for others.
The core of such a specification is therefore the interface between a front end and the common back end. The following set of commands would seem to be comprehensive:
- authenticate USERNAME PASSWORD
Authenticate to the back end using a given username and password. Note that depending on implementation, the password may be in a form other than plain text -- encrypted text, or possibly even a PGP signature may be used instead. This is necessary to allow actions to be associated with a particular moderator, and possibly even have different moderators be able to do different things.
Depending on the
USERNAMEspecified, the availability of further commands may differ, or things may work slightly differently (timeouts on locks, etc.).
Return the unique identifier for the next pending article in the incoming moderation queue. The returned identifier may differ depending on the moderator (for example, each moderator could have their own queue if moderators specialize by topic).
This command establishes a short-term lock on that message. This lock should expire in a reasonably short period of time (an hour or less), and if a longer term lock is needed, it should be set up separately. This lock is solely to prevent two moderators from working on the same message at the same time.
- article IDENTIFIER
Return the headers and body of the article
IDENTIFIER. This command should fail unless we have a lock on that article, since otherwise someone else may be locking it, modifying it, or otherwise manipulating it.
- approve IDENTIFIER
Approve the article
IDENTIFIER. This means attempt to complete any pending article rewrites and then post the article. Any resulting error messages should be returned; in the absence of error messages, it should be possible to assume the article was posted (but see the note about queuing for downed servers below).
This command requires a lock on article
- reject IDENTIFIER MESSAGE [ VARIABLE ... ]
Reject the article
IDENTIFIER, sending the rejection message back to the author.
MESSAGEshould be the file name of a News::FormReply template, and
VARIABLE, if present, are variable bindings for that module. There should be some way for the moderator to specify what e-mail address to send the rejection message to; the easiest way to handle that is probably to provide a default value for the To line but allow it to be overridden.
Alternately, one can let rejections sent to spam blocked addresses bounce, and then resend from the bounce, or just dump the bounces and let spam blocked posters deal with it themselves.
This command requires a lock on article
- checkout IDENTIFIER
Checks out (establishes a long-term lock) on the article
IDENTIFIER. The article will be mailed to the moderator (addresses will need to be on file). This is how editing of articles is supported, as editing via a web interface would be far too unwieldy to be easily usable.
These locks should be checked periodically, and an upper limit on the amount of time an article can be locked before it's recycled back into the pending queue should be established by policy.
This command requires a short-term lock on article
- replace IDENTIFIER SOURCE
Replace the article
IDENTIFIERwith the given article (passed in as a source, so either a file name, a file handle, a string, etc.). This is the other half of how article editing is supported; after the editing is complete, the moderator can send the message back and have it replace the original copy in the queue.
How to log this is implementation-dependent; some groups may wish to save a copy of the original article, and some groups may not care.
This command requires a long-term lock (obtained via checkout) on article
- release IDENTIFIER
Releases either a short-term or a long-term lock on a message. Obviously, this requires the existence of a lock. This should be used after a next or checkout command when the moderator decides they don't want to deal with this message right now.
Closes the connection to the back end. May be unnecessary for most implementations.
Looking over this interface, there are a variety of obvious issues which are raised:
What do we do about PGP signatures? Incoming mail from moderators should be able to be signed via a PGP signature, and that signature should be checked by the moderation software. On the other hand, that's definitely a front-end problem and the signature check shouldn't have to be done by the back end. How do we pass that sort of authentication to the back end? Bear in mind that due to the requirements of a web interface, the interface to the back end may have to be world-writeable, and therefore some sort of password protection is necessary.
Different front ends are going to have different requirements for communicating with the back end. In particular, implementing a web front end is *very* problematic.
We need to be able to deal with a news server being down, thus causing an approve to not succeed right away. Furthermore, the front end should not have to handle this. The solution, I think, is to provide a queue separate from the moderation incoming queue for articles ready to be posted, and on temporary posting failure, put the article in that queue. A cron job should then attempt to repost the messages on a periodic basis, and send error reports to the moderators if a message sits in the queue for too long without being posted.
There are also several supporting processes separate from the standard backend (at least conceptually) that have to be written, including something to go through and look at the locked messages and release them (with error mail) if they've been locked for too long.
Behind the scenes, the obvious storage model for the incoming moderation queue would appear to be a maildir. For those who are not familiar with that format (a native delivery format for qmail and possibly other MTAs), it consists of three subdirectories (which have to be on the same file system to allow atomic rename), one of which is used for temporary storage, one of which contains new incoming messages, and one of which contains messages that have been read. Messages are given a unique file name consisting of a timestamp, PID, and hostname.
The obvious mapping to a moderation queue is to have the new directory be the incoming moderation queue, the cur directory be the messages which are locked, and the filename of a message be the unique identifier. This gives us a consistent method for generating unique identifiers, allows the MTA to deliver messages directly into the moderation queue if desired, and gains all of the locking benefits of maildirs (such as the fact that locking is clean and atomic even on file systems without flock support and is even mostly safe across NFS). It also allows trivial unique ID to message mapping.
The standard maildir method of storing message status is to encode it in the filename of messages in the cur directory (by appending a : and then arbitrary text). We can encode the username of the locking moderator and the length of the lock that way, making it trivial to check the lock policy.
We will need some sort of logging system that logs all actions taken by a moderator on a message. We also need to support archiving of posted messages, archiving of rejected messages, generation of message traces through the system from the logs, and so forth.
The backend should be implemented as a module that does most of the above work, and the program using that module can determine how to link the back end to the front end. A variety of methods are possible, from straight method calls from the front end to a Unix domain socket to a file containing commands that's periodically read, to actually running the moderation back end on a network port.
This is by far the simplest to deal with, since the security model problems should be dealt with for us by the MTA if we run the front-end out of a .forward file or the moral equivalent. If the front-end is being run from sendmail aliases directly, some of the same issues apply as with the web front end; see below for further discussion.
The e-mail front end in the simplest case could just authenticate by incoming e-mail address, but it would probably be best to at least require a password (a la majordomo or similar such systems). Ideally, the incoming mail should be PGP-signed and the signature verified. That causes some problems with the authentication mechanism with the back end; see above for the details.
This is probably the most workable system for low-volume and possibly even high-volume newsgroups. Incoming messages are put into the queue, assigned to a moderator via some mechanism, locked to that moderator, and mailed out. If the moderator approves the message as is, they can just send back the approve command and the unique ID (probably encoded on the subject line). If they need to edit the article for whatever reason, they can send back a replace and an approve.
The front end is going to need to be lenient about how it gets the article back for a replace operation, as different e-mail clients are going to vary on how they can handle such things. It should ideally support both attachments and straight forwarded messages, and possibly some quoting syntaxes. Whenever possible, moderators should be supplied with a small Perl script that does the work of mailing the commands back for them, but depending on what e-mail clients they're using, this won't always be possible.
The final implementation of this is going to look a lot like STUMP, I think, out of necessity. There are some significant differences, though, such as supporting article editing by moderators.
This is a lot harder to make work correctly. The major problem here is the security model. The web server runs CGI scripts as nobody, but we need to act as the moderator user (whoever owns the moderation spool) in order to lock, delete, edit, and move messages.
This also won't be as portable in terms of setup, as most anyone with procmail and a reasonably cooperative ISP should be able to set up the e-mail interface, but the web interface requires CGI script support and quite probably either a long-running daemon or a setuid program.
There are three basic ways to allow the web server, running CGI scripts, to access and manipulate the moderation queue:
Have the web server run the CGI scripts as the moderator user. This in practice will require a setuid program to change users from nobody to the moderator user. I'm extremely reluctant to use setuid programs, as are many other system administrators, so it may be difficult in practice to take this course of action. This would probably be ideal if the process of dropping priviledges were totally secure, but it's difficult to ensure that.
Have the moderation queue be owned by the web server user. I think this is a bad idea, as then any security compromise anywhere in the web system results in a compromise of moderation queue. It's probably safe in practice, under most cases, but like setuid programs I'd rather avoid doing things like this.
There can be some sort of interface between programs that run as the moderator user and programs that run unauthenticated. Two ways in which this can be done is to create a file of commands which is read periodically or to have a local Unix domain socket that accepts commands from unauthenticated users. (The Unix domain socket idea can be expanded to accepting network connections if desired.) The disadvantage of this approach is that it requires a long-running daemon which is difficult to write correctly (as it would probably have to fork) and which may have to be written in C until Perl has reliable signal handling.
All of these solutions have their advantages and disadvantages; it would probably be a good idea to support all three. I'd be very interested in other alternatives as well, particularly designs that avoid the drawbacks of these.
One possibility that has come to mind is that the web interface could send e-mail, which would allow the web interface to leverage off of the existing e-mail interface. The difficulty there is lack of immediate response; the mail message is sent, and then the CGI script has no real way of knowing whether and when it has been acted upon.

Is 32gb RAM overkill?
Is 32GB overkill.
In general, yes.
The only real reason an average user would need 32GB is for future proofing.
As far as just simply gaming goes, 16GB is plenty, and really, you can get by just fine with 8GB..
Is 3600MHz RAM better than 3200?
3200MHz CL14 RAM would be a “better” choice over 3600MHz CL16. While Ryzen does like fast RAM, its only to a point. At 3200MHz the speed gain itself likely wont be significant enough to warrant the increase in latency. ok that does sound good.
Will faster RAM improve FPS?
There have been many benchmarks done that shows that, in general, just adding more RAM won’t increase your in-game performance. … And, the answer to that is: in some scenarios and depending on how much RAM you have, yes, adding more RAM could increase your FPS. Games require a certain amount of memory to run.
Is ddr4 3200 enough?
Anything past that is very minimal improvements. 3200 mhz is a sweet spot but timing is also important, get c16 and lower. You can probably overclock that RAM to 2999hz. I did it with mine without any problem.
Should I overclock RAM or CPU first?
Yeah. OC the CPU first before RAM. Now if you are setting the RAM to it’s rated speed that is technically an overclock and it is possible that putting it back down to default bios settings can give you more overclockability on your CPU but then again it may not.
Can RAM affect FPS?
RAM amount does not directly affect FPS. … If your RAM is large enough to load all the resources a game needs for a level, then that level will run at full speed, which is determined by your processor, GPU and architecture (factors like bus speeds and bandwidth).
Is 64gb RAM overkill?
For gaming yes. Ok, nowadays, with modern/new games you will want 16gb of RAM. If you do more than just gaming (rendering/editing/graphical work), 32gb starts to become the minimum, 64gb the norm, and 128 for overkill (extreme usage). …
Is faster RAM worth it?
Faster RAM will give your PC better performance in certain specific benchmarks, but in terms of actual benefit to most users, having more RAM available is almost always better than having faster RAM. … It also means that overclocking RAM in the system BIOS is rarely worth the effort.
Can CPU affect FPS?
CPUs Do Affect Gaming Performance, After All 220 crookedvulture writes “For years, PC hardware sites have maintained that CPUs have little impact on gaming performance; all you need is a decent graphics card. That position is largely supported by FPS averages, but the FPS metric doesn’t tell the whole story.
What does ddr4 3000 mean?
DDR4 3000+ means that the motherboard is able to support up to around 3600 MHz of ram speed ( at the moment) and that means that you could also over clock your memory speed even higher if you want.
Is 2400 MHz RAM good?
For example, 8GB DDR4-2400 RAM is running at a frequency of 2400MHz. … What’s important to remember here is that system RAM is not handling command processes like the CPU does, so while a higher CPU frequency will almost always mean better PC performance, the same may not be the case for high frequency RAM.
What is the best RAM for gaming?
Best ramBest RAM overall: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro LED 16GB 3,200MHz.Best high-capacity RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB 2,666MHz.Best RAM for gaming: G.Skill TridentZ RGB 16GB 3,200MHz.Best RGB RAM: Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB 16GB 3,200MH.Best budget RAM: Patriot Viper Elite 8GB 2,666MHz.
Is ddr4 3000 Fast?
DDR4 3000 vs 3200 both have the quality of fast clock speed with a high bandwidth interface. The frequencies of DDR4 RAM begin from 2133 MHz to upward. Speedy games require 8 to 16 GB DDR4 RAM compatible with pc. DDR4 3000 and 3200 are compatible with all types of the motherboard of 4th generation.
Is 3000 Hz RAM good?
If you are building a new amd based system 3000 mhz will be the minimum ram speed you should go with,if you can afford any ram beyond that speed it would even be better(although not much) in gaming,as amd’s infinity fabric architecture feeds off high speed ram with low latencies.
What does ddr4 2400 mean?
The newer standard, DDR4, has several advantages over DDR3. It runs at a higher frequency, so it’s able to process your tasks at a faster rate. DDR3 is generally clocked between 1,333MHz and 2,400MHz, while DDR4 ranges from 2,400MHz to 3,200MHz. … DDR3 and DDR4 memory work with different motherboards and chipsets.
What is the fastest ddr4 RAM?
Corsair unleashes world’s fastest DDR4 RAM and 16GB costs more than your gaming PC (probably) Corsair has released the first commercially available DDR4 RAM to reach the 5,000MHz barrier, but if you fancy a piece of the high-speed memory action, be warned: it will cost you.
Does dual channel RAM increase FPS?
Dual channel performs better but it’s pretty minor to the eye. Perhaps 5 fps average. Depends on what you’re running with. If you’re running with high graphics settings and GPU-bound, it’ll barely make a difference.
Is ddr4 2133 good for gaming?
a 6600k with a mild overclock (or even stock settings) and 16GB of 2133MHz RAM should be plenty good for some 60hz 1080p gaming.

contrAA® Series — Atomic Absorption. Redefined.
The atomic absorption spectrometers of the contrAA® series are the only commercially available instruments for High-Resolution Continuum Source AAS (HR-CS AAS). As a link between standard AAS instruments and ICP-OES spectrometers contrAA® combines the best of two worlds: rapid sequential and simultaneous multi-element analysis, ease of handling and manageable costs.
The unique technology of the contrAA® provides significant analytical advantages over the traditional Line-Source AAS. Thanks to the Xenon short arc lamp, that emits a continuous spectrum at high intensity, any element and wavelength can readily be analyzed whenever the requirement occurs. The high-resolution spectrometer with CCD detector produces a highly resolved absorption spectrum for each sample, allowing not only quantitative evaluation of but also qualitative information about the sample.
With features like fast sequential and simultaneous multi-element analysis — including semi-quantitative overview screening of unknown samples, and analysis of non-metals — contrAA® opens up new application fields.
Modern correction algorithms for background and spectral interferences have taken productivity and accuracy of AAS to a new level.
contrAA® 800 series — superior technologies guarantee for excellent results
- Multi Element
One light source for fast sequential and simultaneous multi-element analysis
- High-Resolution Optics
Interference-free analysis and highest precision
- HD Spectrum
High-resolution 3D spectra display for detailed spectral information
- Dynamic Mode
Extended measurement range of up to 5 orders of magnitude
More to learn about the contrAA 800 below:
A Xenon short arc lamp provides a continuous emission spectrum across the entire relevant wavelength range used in AAS. Any element and any wavelength can be analyzed simply by software selection. This also includes molecular absorption bands, which can be used for the analysis of non-metals, e.g. the halogens or sulfur. At the same time secondary wavelengths are available to extend the dynamic range towards higher concentrations. The continuous spectrum furthermore enables screening analyses of unknown samples.
The light intensity of the Xenon short arc lamp is significantly higher than with traditional light sources (hollow cathode lamps). It provides an excellent signal-to-noise ratio resulting in improved detection limits and better accuracy.
Multi Element — Your Benefits
- Multi-element capability by full spectral coverage (185 to 900 nm)
- A single light source for all elements
- Use of secondary wavelengths
- Extended application range: determination of non-metals and molecules
- No alignment or optimization of the lamp required
- Low operating costs
- Increased productivity
Due to the high-resolution spectrometer and a CCD detector contrAA® 800 produces a highly resolved absorption spectrum for each sample. At a resolution more than one hundred times higher than traditional AAS monochromators, atomic absorption lines are displayed in their natural shape and width. Interferences from other atomic and molecular absorption structures are reduced to a minimum.
High-Resolution Optics — Your Benefits
- High resolution – less interferences, more details
- Improved method robustness
- Outstanding wavelength accuracy and repeatability
- High light throughput – excellent signal-to-noise ratio – excellent limits of detection
- Exceptional long-term stability
Highly resolved spectra provide comprehensive and extremely detailed information about the sample. Their three-dimensional display in a 3D spectrum allows for a correct evaluation of the absorption lines and their spectral background. Furthermore it provides additional information about other elements present in the sample, which can be quantified simultaneously if required. Thus, the spectrum also provides a valuable tool for method development.
Modern software tools facilitate data evaluation. An automatic background correction routine corrects spectral background and lamp intensity fluctuations by means of baseline evaluation. Direct spectral interferences can easily be corrected using matrix correction spectra. All necessary corrections are performed simultaneously, directly in the spectrum.
HD Spectrum — Your Benefits
- Qualitative identification of all sample elements
- Simultaneous quantitative multi-element evaluation
- 2D/3D spectrum simplifies method development
- Line identification tool
- Interference warning
- Simultaneous correction of background and spectral interferences
The Dynamic Mode allows an automatic or manual adjustment of the dynamic working range of the instrument according to the concentrations encountered in samples. It enables a calibration over a concentration range of up to five orders of magnitude. This allows measurements of ultra-trace- and major elements in the same sample with a single method. Thus contrAA® offers a dynamic range similar to that of ICP-OES instruments.
Multiple sample dilutions are a matter of the past and an adaptation to higher concentrations is possible even if no secondary wavelengths are available.
Dynamic Mode — Your Benefits
- Extended working range
- Connection of calibrations for the determination of ultra-trace up to major concentrations
- Continuous calibration across up to 5 orders of magnitude
- Simplified sample preparation – determination of all elements from the same solution

The previous bitumen roof was completely replaced by a new roof structure. The construction consists of a PIR thermal insulation and the FPO roof liners, which were installed by mechanical fixation by Boko Dakbedekkers.


Rio is seeing violent, chaotic days. Armed men have set up roadblocks in key areas, including a highway leading to the international airport _ letting loose rifle fire, tossing grenades. Police responded by invading more than 20 slums and engaging traffickers in massive shootouts. Authorities now control some of the most fortified slums where traffickers long ruled with impunity, though the trade remains entrenched in hundreds of other shantytowns.
Bellow you can see a couple of photos I took last month two weeks before the war began in Rio.

The Global Zeitenwende
How to Avoid a New Cold War in a Multipolar Era
In a speech on September 6, the U.S. special representative for North Korea, Stephen Biegun, warned that Japan might respond to the growing nuclear threat from North Korea by developing nuclear weapons of its own. Japan has long had the means to go nuclear, thanks to its sophisticated nuclear power industry. But since agreeing to a security treaty in 1951, Japan has relied on Washington’s “extended deterrence”—the promise that any attack on Japan will trigger a retaliatory attack from the United States. The Japanese government’s confidence in that commitment has fluctuated over the last half century, and Biegun is not the first U.S. official to fret that Tokyo will lose faith in it altogether.
On three occasions over the past 50 years, Japan weighed the merits and disadvantages of developing nuclear weapons. The first delicate moment came in the 1960s, after China began nuclear tests. Then, during the 1990s after the Cold War, Japanese officials worried that Washington might feel less resolved in defending Japan from Moscow’s nuclear might. Most recently, Japan faced a major new challenge to its west after North Korea developed nuclear weapons in 2006. At each juncture, however, Japanese security strategists concluded that it made more sense to rely on the extended deterrence provided by the United States. In exchange, Japan presented itself to U.S. policymakers as a linchpin for peace and stability in Northeast Asia, a regional hub for the deployment of U.S. troops and military equipment (as it was during the Korean and Vietnam Wars), and a bulwark against China.
Today, the U.S. security guarantee looks less and less reliable. This summer, President Donald Trump repeatedly called the security treaty unfair and reportedly mused in private about canceling the treaty altogether. He has tolerated North Korean missile tests that threaten Japan. And during his election campaign, he suggested that it might even serve Japanese and South Korean interests if both nations developed nuclear weapons. There are still powerful historical, cultural, and institutional reasons for Japan to resist going nuclear, but Biegun is right to worry that the country could head in that direction—though it is the U.S. president, as much as North Korea, who may push Tokyo toward nuclear proliferation.
As the only country to experience a nuclear bombing, Japan is a leading proponent of nonproliferation. Quietly, however, it pursues a strategy of “nuclear hedging,” preserving the capacity to develop nuclear weapons without intending to do so. Officials occasionally reveal the existence of this policy. In the wake of the Fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011, for example, former Defense Minister Shigeru Ishiba, a prominent Liberal Democratic Party politician, explained that Japan couldn’t shut down its nuclear power plants because the nuclear fuel cycle—the industrial processes that turn uranium into electricity and recycle the waste—was necessary in order to maintain “technical deterrence.” Japan is the only nation that has the ability to enrich uranium and reprocess plutonium but has no nuclear weapons.
In theory, Japan could develop a small atomic arsenal in as little as a year or two. It would need to produce weapons-grade plutonium, a process that would most likely require repurposing civil reactors. It would also need to reengineer its advanced space launch rockets to deliver nuclear warheads. Japanese scientists are technically capable of both tasks and could accomplish them on a tight timetable if the government felt compelled to minimize concerns about safety, secrecy, reliability, and accuracy (and shirk its international obligations). A more thorough, careful process in keeping with Japan’s usual modus operandi would take three or four years. Scientists would face another hurdle in finding a place to test weapons in the crowded Japanese archipelago. The most recent known government study, conducted in 2006, concluded that Japan had the technical expertise and facilities to develop a small nuclear warhead but that doing so would take three to five years and cost over $2 billion.
Japan is the only nation that has the ability to enrich uranium and reprocess plutonium but has no nuclear weapons.
The biggest obstacles to a Japanese nuclear weapons program aren’t technical or logistic; they are political, legal, and cultural. Since 1972, following the return of Okinawa from the United States and the removal of nuclear weapons stationed there, Japan’s prime ministers have embraced “three non-nuclear principles” as a morally and politically binding norm: no manufacture, no possession, and no entry of nuclear weapons controlled by other nations (in practice, that third principle has been breached to allow nuclear-armed U.S. warships to make port calls). In addition, Japan’s championing of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty, and other nonproliferation instruments reinforces the political constraints on going nuclear, as does the collective memory of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe shows no sign of seeking to challenge this deeply rooted antipathy.
Opposition to nuclear weapons is particularly strong in the academic and scientific communities, including in the nuclear technology field. Combined with the robust International Atomic Energy Agency monitoring presence in Japan, this culture of ingrained hostility to nuclear weapons would make it nearly impossible for Japan to pursue a clandestine path to the bomb.
Japanese diplomats would also fret about the security costs of going nuclear. An indigenous nuclear program would be intensely provocative to China, sparking a further acceleration in Beijing’s buildup of nuclear and conventional weapons. Pursuing nuclear weapons would also increase the risk of a preemptive nuclear strike from North Korea and provoke South Korea to seek its own nuclear arsenal, inflaming regional tensions.
The scientific establishment would likely comply with a directive to produce nuclear weapons only in the event of a sharp deterioration in Japan’s security situation. In the imaginings of Japanese policymakers, the most likely scenarios would be if South Korea goes nuclear or if the Koreas unify and keep Pyongyang’s existing arsenal. Japanese officials watched with interest when South Korean President Moon Jae-in extolled the benefits of unification with North Korea in an August 15 speech commemorating liberation from Japan.
While Moon has insisted that a unified Korea would not retain nuclear arms, Japan remains wary in light of the pro-nuclear sentiments on both halves of the Korean peninsula. Unlike in South Korea, where mainstream politicians and newspaper columnists advocate for an indigenous nuclear weapons program, in Japan advocates for nuclear weapons remain largely on the far-right fringe. It is, however, increasingly acceptable to discuss nuclear arms as a future policy option. After North Korea’s first nuclear test in 2006, for example, then Foreign Minister Taro Aso called for a public debate about the circumstances that would warrant a serious reconsideration of Japan’s non-nuclear policy.
Of course, Tokyo’s stance on nuclear weapons is shaped most fundamentally by its faith in the credibility of U.S. nuclear deterrence. Over the years, that credibility came into question when the United States lost the Vietnam War, withdrew from the Philippines, failed to prevent China and then North Korea from acquiring nuclear weapons, and reduced its own nuclear arsenal.
Trump has done more than any of his predecessors to undermine the credibility of U.S. nuclear deterrence.
But Trump has done more than any of his predecessors to undermine the credibility of U.S. nuclear deterrence. In what was perhaps his most flagrant public display of disregard for Japan’s security interests, he argued with Abe at the G-7 summit in April this year over whether North Korea’s missile launches broke UN resolutions. (They clearly did.) Although the presence of U.S. troops in Japan provides a measure of reassurance, Trump’s “America first” mentality is further reason for Japan to keep nuclear options in reserve.
Any Japanese move toward developing nuclear weapons should be seen as a cry for help. In the past, when Japanese leaders have hinted to Washington that they were considering going nuclear, their intent was to encourage a stronger U.S. security commitment to Japan. Aso’s call for a public debate in 2006 elicited a reaffirmation of that commitment from Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. Aso followed an old script: in 1964, Prime Minister Eisaku Sato similarly raised the prospect of going nuclear to persuade President Lyndon B. Johnson to strengthen Washington’s pledge to safeguard Japanese security. Washington should learn from that history and work to assuage Japan’s fears, starting with clear statements from Trump that reassure Tokyo, refuse to pander to North Korean provocations, and discourage nuclear proliferation in an already tense region.

I’ve surprised myself by really sticking at Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair. I think we’re within hours of me being done with it, but I’ve seen every level, and if I was really determined to mop everthing up I’m sure I could do quite a bit of it. It’s rare that a game clicks with me, and I’m glad this one has.
Still really want to get Shadow of the Tomb Raider though. It’s at best a B-rated series, but it’s fun.
I’m not a horror film aficionado, which is strange, because I should be. Hereditary is one that I watched last year, that I enjoyed when it was metaphorical, and fell out with when it became dully literal.
However, Ari Aster’s follow-up Midsommar is right up my street. Pagan worship and Florence Pugh in her breakout year is a fantastic combination. It didn’t feel the need to explain things in the reductionist way Hereditary did, and the look of the film is extroadinary. I wouldn’t go along with the chat around release that it isn’t really a horror film – it totally is – but one which takes the modern metarphorical approach to a level near poetry, which is where it should be. I would like to have written more intelligently about it, but it kind of knocked me sideways in a delicious way.
Also, my housemate came home at precisely the wrong moment, which was entertaining.
Laura Dern is also having a fantastic year. She was masterly in Little Women, and a standout in Marriage Story. She obviously featured heavily in my Lynch phase last year, and I was remembering her perfomance in Inland Empire while I was failing to get to sleep last night. The film is…
The thing about Inland Empire is that it’s three hours long, has a plot and momentum but doesn’t satisfy your narrative hunger, and is shot on mid-2000s near-consumer camcorders, so is a less than beautiful viewing experience. And yet I want to watch it again, just to marvel at the multiple perfomances Dern pulls off in that movie.
I could happily spend the next year just watching Laura Dern movies. What a magnificent actor.

New Delhi : Calling the alleged assault on a Delhi bureaucrat a “conspiracy”, the ruling AAP on Wednesday said that its two MLAs — Prakash Jarwal and Amanatullah Khan — were arrested in the case without any inquiry because they belonged to the Dalit and Muslim community respectively.
Based on the allegation of assault made by Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash, the two were arrested on the BJP’s instructions without being given a chance to state their version, senior Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Sanjay Singh told the media.
Citing examples of Gujarat’s Una and Rajasthan’s Pehlu Khan’s case, Singh said under the BJP’s rule in various states, Dalits and Muslims were victims of communal violence.
Taking a dig at BJP Delhi unit Chief Manoj Tiwari, Singh said: “You call us urban Naxalites (Maoists)? We have never incited any violence (among different communities).”
He said the police ignored the evidence on the attack on AAP Minister Imran Hussain and his personal secretary Himanshu Singh but acted on the statement by the Chief Secretary.
“We have the video footage of what happened at Delhi Secretariat yesterday (Tuesday) when our Minister and his Personal Secretary were attacked by a mob that was incited by the BJP but nothing has been done about it.
“Words of the Chief Secretary are being treated as gospel truth,” he said, adding the top bureaucrat was making “false” allegations.
Party leader Ashutosh alleged that on Tuesday people outside the Delhi Secretariat were provoked and that led to the commotion and beating up of Hussain and his aide.
“CCTV footage should be made public to identify the perpetrators,” he demanded.
Singh said there was a conspiracy against their party and people were “strategically” brought to the Secretariat.
“Shouldn’t Home Minister (Rajnath Singh) show concern about ministers being assaulted inside Delhi Secretariat?”
“Will the same country have different rules for different people?” Singh questioned.
The AAP leader said that an emergency meeting was convened on Monday night to address the issue of 250,000 families who were deprived of food rations due to faulty implementation of Aadhaar.
“When the Chief Minister (Arvind Kejriwal) can visit people at 2 a.m. or 3 a.m., why can’t there be a late night meeting regarding the important issue of rations?
“If somebody dies of hunger in the state, will the Chief Secretary be answerable or will it be the Lt Governor (Anil Baijal)? Arvind Kejriwal will be questioned,” he said.
According to the AAP leader, the Chief Secretary, who has alleged that AAP MLAs assaulted him in the presence of Kejriwal during the meeting, would have called police immediately after the incident if he was actually assaulted.
“Anybody physically assaulted by someone would immediately call the police. Why didn’t the Chief Secretary do so? The next morning he started making these allegations against our MLAs.
Asking why the Chief Secretary’s injury report wasn’t prepared by a doctor on the same day, Sanjay Singh said: “The medico-legal certificate is coming today when the incident happened three days back.”
Stressing that this was a BJP-led Central government’s conspiracy against the AAP, he said: “To be associated with AAP is considered to be a crime by the Centre.
“AAP is always the soft target. The government now wishes to take the attention away from Nirav Modi, (Vikram) Kothari, Jatin Mehta and that is why this thing was brought up.”
“Since the very beginning, there have been attempts to finish our government in the state. They don’t want us to function.”

As mental health awareness continues to grow, many individuals and couples are seeking professional help to address their relationship issues.
One of the main questions that often arises is whether or not insurance covers the cost of marriage counseling.
The answer to this question varies depending on the specific insurance plan and provider.
Understanding Insurance Coverage
Understanding insurance coverage for marriage counseling is a crucial aspect of managing your relationship’s health and ensuring access to the necessary support when facing challenges in your partnership.
Insurance policies can play a significant role in determining whether marriage counseling is covered for couples.
Many insurance policies offer coverage for mental health services.
Although insurance coverage may exist, barriers such as high deductibles can still deter some couples from seeking services like marriage counseling.
Coverage for Mental Health Services
Insurance coverage for mental health services varies depending on the plan and provider.
Some plans offer full coverage for counseling and therapy, while others may only provide partial coverage or cover a limited number of sessions.
It is important for couples to verify their specific plan’s coverage for marriage counseling and consider any financial implications, such as copays and deductibles.
Affordable Care Act (ACA) Influence
The ACA has expanded mental health service coverage by mandating that insurance providers cover behavioral and mental health services as part of their essential health benefits.
This means that many health insurance plans may now cover marriage counseling, although the extent and limitations will still vary by plan.
Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA)
The Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA) is legislation enacted to ensure that mental health services, including marriage counseling, are covered on par with medical and surgical benefits.
This act requires insurance providers to offer an equivalent degree of coverage for mental health and addiction services compared to other healthcare services.
Is Marriage Counseling Covered by Insurance?
Navigating the complexities of marriage counseling can be a challenging endeavor, and one of the pressing questions couples often have is whether their therapy sessions will be covered by insurance.
Marriage counseling coverage varies significantly among insurance plans, and it’s essential to review the specific details of one’s policy to understand the extent of coverage, if any.
Couples should consider the financial implications of seeking therapy without insurance coverage and explore alternative resources if necessary.
Marriage Counseling and Insurance
Although many people benefit from marriage counseling, insurance does not always cover it.
One reason for this lack of coverage is that insurance companies may be concerned about increased costs associated with reimbursing couple therapy for marital distress.
As a result, some people might face financial barriers in accessing couples therapy when their insurance plans do not cover it.
Different insurance providers have varying policies regarding coverage of marriage counseling.
For instance, it might be excluded from some broad-spectrum insurance benefits, while others may offer limited coverage or specific conditions under which therapy is reimbursed.
Specific Insurance Plan Considerations
It is essential for individuals seeking marriage counseling to review their specific insurance plan and determine whether coverage is available.
Factors to consider include:
- Whether their plan includes mental health coverage
- If couple therapy is explicitly mentioned as a covered service
- The extent of coverage for marriage counseling (e.g., a certain number of sessions or a maximum financial limit)
Some insurance providers may only cover couples therapy under certain diagnoses, such as when one partner is experiencing a mental health issue that impacts the relationship.
Communicating with the therapist and the insurance company is crucial to ensure accurate billing and reimbursement.
Factors That Affect Insurance Coverage
Marriage counseling might be covered by insurance if it is deemed medically necessary and tied to a mental health diagnosis.
When insurance coverage is available, understanding copays, deductibles, and coinsurance is key to estimating the out-of-pocket costs involved.
It’s crucial for individuals to carefully review their insurance policies to make informed decisions about their healthcare expenses.
Medically Necessary Treatment
When considering if marriage counseling is covered by insurance, it’s essential to explore whether the treatment is deemed medically necessary.
Generally, insurance companies only cover services that are required for the diagnosis and treatment of a medical or mental health condition.
If a couple is seeking counseling merely to improve their relationship, insurance companies might not provide coverage as they may view it as elective counseling.
However, if one or both partners have a mental health diagnosis that affects their relationship, insurance may cover counseling as part of their treatment.
Mental Health Diagnosis
A mental health diagnosis plays a significant role in determining whether marriage counseling is covered by insurance.
In this case, insurance companies are more likely to cover counseling sessions within the scope of mental health coverage.
Though, individual insurance plans differ in their coverage, benefits, and limitations, so it’s crucial to carefully review one’s policy to understand the extent of mental health benefits offered.
Understanding Copays, Deductibles, and Coinsurance
Even when insurance covers marriage counseling, it’s essential to be aware of the cost-sharing elements involved.
These aspects include copays, deductibles, and coinsurance.
|A copay is a fixed amount paid by the insured individual for a covered service, typically at the time of the appointment.
|A deductible is the amount an individual must pay each year for covered health services before the insurance company begins to pay.
|Coinsurance is the percentage of the cost of a covered service that the insured person will pay after their deductible has been met.
|It may vary depending on the type of therapy or provider.
|If the deductible has not been met, the individual must pay the full cost of counseling sessions until it is met.
|For example, if the coinsurance on mental health therapy is 30%, the insured individual will pay 30% of a counseling session’s cost.
Alternative Options if Counseling Isn’t Covered
In the quest to strengthen a marriage or partnership, many couples turn to marriage counseling as a means of support and resolution.
However, one common challenge is discovering that their insurance policy does not cover this essential service.
This section delves into alternative options for couples seeking marriage counseling when insurance doesn’t extend its coverage.
If marriage counseling is not covered by insurance, couples can consider paying for sessions directly.
Out-of-pocket costs vary depending on the therapist’s experience, location, and session length.
It is important to discuss fees upfront with the therapist and inquire about any sliding scale options or payment plans that may be available.
Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
Some employers offer Employee Assistance Programs (EAP) that provide resources for various issues, including marital counseling.
Employees and their family members can access these services at no cost or for a minimal fee.
Checking with your employer about the availability of EAP programs could provide an affordable alternative to traditional therapy.
Local Programs and Nonprofit Organizations
Community-based organizations and nonprofit groups often provide low-cost or free mental health services, including marriage counseling.
Couples can explore local resources or seek assistance from religious institutions or social service agencies.
Participating in workshops, support groups, or online counseling options may also be beneficial in improving the relationship.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does couples therapy cost without insurance?
Couples therapy cost without insurance varies depending on several factors, such as the therapist’s experience, location, and session length.
On average, couples can expect to pay between $100 and $200 per hour.
Some therapists may offer sliding scale fees or reduced rates for clients in financial need.
Discussing fees upfront and exploring potential financial assistance options when seeking therapy without insurance is essential.
Which insurance companies cover marriage counseling?
Insurance coverage for marriage counseling varies among providers and individual policies.
Some insurance companies, such as Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, and Cigna, may provide coverage for couples counseling under specific circumstances.
Typically, coverage may require proof of a diagnosed mental health condition affecting one or both partners.
Since policies and coverage levels differ, it is important to consult with your insurance provider directly to determine eligibility and specifics about coverage for marriage counseling.
Can I use my FSA for couples therapy?
Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) can be used for mental health-related expenses, and in some cases, this includes couples therapy.
However, using an FSA for couples counseling typically requires a letter of medical necessity from a healthcare provider.
The letter must state that the therapy is necessary for treating a diagnosed mental health condition.
It is advisable to check with your FSA administrator to confirm the eligibility of couples therapy expenses before utilizing the funds.
Do both partners need insurance for marriage counseling?
Insurance coverage for marriage counseling primarily depends on the policy and the individual receiving the treatment.
In some cases, couples can access coverage through one partner’s insurance plan for both participants.
However, this may require the insured partner to be diagnosed with a mental health condition that affects the relationship.
Plans and coverage may vary significantly among insurance providers, so it is crucial to consult with your insurance company to understand the specifics of your coverage and any potential restrictions.

Rep. Kim Daniels, a Democrat from Jacksonville, will face no penalty for ethics charges dating back to her tenure on the local City Council.
In January, Daniels’ case was referred by the Florida Ethics Commission to House Speaker Jose Oliva.
Daniels admitted culpability regarding filing multiple erroneous financial disclosure statements as a Councilwoman. However, Oliva took a narrow view of the House’s disciplinary authority in this case.
“The actions referenced by the Commission occurred outside of the time of service by Rep. Daniels in the House. The Speaker expects all Members to abide by House Rules, ethics laws, and Florida Statutes. Any violation of those rules while a Member will be addressed by the Speaker,” asserted spokesman Fred Piccolo Thursday.
This concludes an issue that was first floated nearly four years ago, as Daniels (a professional evangelist by trade) was running for re-election.
In 2015, a complainant charged that Daniels owned properties beyond those listed in her 2012-2014 financial disclosure forms, including mortgages for properties that belonged to her church, adding up to $1 million of undeclared assets.
Indeed, her churches had multiple properties — “parsonages” — in various cities, timeshares, and over a dozen cars.
Also at issue: timeshares with the Daniels’ names on the deeds, along with that of the ministry, another conflation of ownership interest.
A similar complaint filed previously was dismissed for lack of jurisdiction, as it was listed within 30 days of Jacksonville’s 2015 election.
Daniels was re-elected in the Democratic primary in August, defeating Duval County School Board chair Paula Wright despite the local party leaning in favor of Wright’s campaign.
As there were no GOP or NPA candidates, the open primary was decisive.
Last year, the Florida Chamber recognized Daniels as the most pro-business Democrat in state government.
Additionally, she is known for bills that many critics say blur the lines between church and state, including a 2019 proposal to require high schools to offer Bible study courses as an elective.

It’s called Criminal Justice – Adhura Sach, but it could well have been titled Better Call Madhav.
If the raison d’etre of the Disney+ Hotstar show’s third season was to bring back Pankaj Tripathi’s popular defence lawyer Madhav Mishra, then it’s mission accomplished. The kind of actor who can make a takeout of burger and fries seem as special as a multi-course meal at a high-end restaurant, Tripathi hugely boosts the new edition, even if he can’t quite rescue it entirely.
An Indian adaptation of the BBC series of the same name, Criminal Justice has previously explored a flawed man’s wrongful incarceration and the legal travails of a severely abused wife. The new eight-episode run, written by Bijesh Jayarajan and Iti Aarwal and directed by Rohan Sippy, is essentially a murder mystery cloaked as a courtroom drama.
Zara (Deshna Dugad) is a popular 14-year-old actor whose television show has made her parents Avantika (Swastika Mukherjee) and Neeraj (Purab Kohli) immensely wealthy. Although Avantika and Neeraj keep saying that they love Zara, they cannot resist benefitting from her fame.
A holiday to Madh Island near Mumbai is actually an excuse for a lucrative endorsement deal. When Zara’s brutalised body turns up on the beach, all fingers point in the direction of her emotionally unstable adolescent brother Mukul (Aaditya Gupta).
The new season’s themes include the exploitation of young talent, the police tendency to disregard the legal principle of presumed innocence, and the impact of disturbed family dynamics on teenagers. There’s also some bile reserved for nasty journalists who keep flogging sensational crimes.
Among the familiar faces from the previous season are feisty inspector Gauri (Kalyanee Mulay) and Madhav’s spirited wife Ratna (Khushboo Atre). The relationship between Madhav and Ratna is an agreeably distracting subplot filled with coy smiles and spousal flirting.
A track revolving around the privileged background of public prosecutor Lekha (Shweta Basu Prasad) goes nowhere, just as the complexity of the dynamic between Zara and her parents is barely explored – are they patrons of her talent or parasites? The mood, often drenched in Avantika’s tears or darkened by Neeraj’s rage, lifts whenever Madhav Mishra saunters in with a well-timed folksy insight delivered in impeccable Hindi.
While Criminal Justice – Adhura Sach has a few noteworthy performances, including by Swastika Mukherjee, Purab Kohli and Gaurav Gera as Avantika’s first husband, this is a Pankaj Tripathi show from the moment we first see him in a courtroom, defending yet another indefensible client.
I adore you because you can make people open their hearts to you, Ratna tells Madhav. One of several characters in the first Criminal Justice season and increasing in importance ever since, Madhav Mishra is poised to become the master of his own universe.

A snap general election has been announced by UK Prime Minister Theresa May, to "guarantee certainty and security". But what does history say about her chances of winning a greater majority?
The UK doesn't generally do snap elections.
Since World War Two, there are really only two other examples of a prime minister going to the country within a year or two of the previous contest.
However, there have also been a few occasions which have seen prime ministers who - like Theresa May - made it to Downing Street without winning an election themselves going to the country for a "personal mandate".
Since 2011, parliamentary terms have been fixed at five years and, even before this, elections were generally only called by prime ministers every four or five years.
In March 1966 however, Labour's Harold Wilson went to the country just under 18 months after winning in October 1964.
His decision was hardly a surprise. The 1964 election had seen Labour replace the Tories after 13 years, but with only the narrowest of majorities - just four MPs.
An avid reader of opinion polls and an acute interpreter of local and by-election results, Wilson timed his strike to perfection.
He bagged a majority of nearly 100, albeit one he managed to squander by 1970, when Labour was beaten by the Tories under Ted Heath - the prime minister who took the UK into Europe.
By February 1974, however, Wilson was back in Downing Street - and things were even trickier than they had been 10 years previously.
Rather than a tiny parliamentary majority, Labour had no majority at all.
Wilson was obliged to form a minority administration and hope that it could last long enough for him to convince the country that he really was the man for the job again.
Wilson waited just nine months before making that appeal.
The result was far from what he'd hoped for - a painfully small three-seat majority which eventually evaporated completely, leaving the government reliant on a pact with the Liberal Party.
So, early elections don't always deliver everything the prime minister who calls them might wish for.
But what about contests called by incumbents who have taken over at Number 10 without first winning a general election as party leader?
Well, here, the outlook is much brighter for those who call the election.
Winston Churchill, after suffering at least one serious stroke that was hidden from the public, finally gave way to his successor Anthony Eden in April 1955.
Eden wasted no time by calling an election in May - a contest which saw him increase his party's majority from 17 to a very respectable 60.
At just under 50%, the Tories' share of the vote was the highest ever achieved in the post-war period.
It wasn't enough, however, to see Eden through the Suez crisis, which led to his resignation and replacement in January 1957 by the wily Harold Macmillan.
"Supermac", true to form, bided his time before seeking his own personal mandate and was rewarded in October 1959 with a 100-seat majority.
The third Tory prime minister who initially got the top job by virtue of his support in the party rather than in the country was John Major.
He waited 16 months after replacing Margaret Thatcher before calling an election in 1992, but while his victory left the Conservatives with a much reduced majority, he had avoided what two years previously looked like certain defeat.
History, then, appears to be on Theresa May's side. But, given the unpredictability of the current political climate, the outcome is far from guaranteed.

Aveyron, France Chowhounds?
We're former NYC chowhounds who have moved to the Rodez area in Aveyron. We would love to know if there are any other chowhounds living in, or visiting, the area. BTW, the village we live in, Belcastel, is designated as one of the 10 most beautiful villages in France. It's really quite quite lovely. There's even a restaurant with one star from Michelin (Du Vieux Pont).
Please post your "find" in the Rodez area as you discover them. We bike in the Dordogne each fall and have been thinking about trying Figeac for biking this year. Of course, biking is just an excuse for being able to eat more great food and drink nice local wines.
I was born in Espalion and have been living in London, UK for the last 7years, working in retaurants and now in corporate hospitality. If my heart and familly are in London my roots and parents are in the Lot Valley, the Aubrac... Surprisingly or not, I enjoy meeting Brits when I am back home they are the best mates to watch football... What about american for good local food?
Are you the ones that bought the old castle? We live in New Mexico USA now, but own a home a few KM north of you near Rignac and will be back in the area again next year. Of course, you have two of the best restaurants in Aveyron right there in Belcastel. I have not eaten at the famed Vieux Pont, but le 1909 was fabulous last time I tried it, a year ago. One hot spot I can't seem to find on the web is supposed to be a great country-style bistrot called (possibly) Cuisine de Patricia - located somewhere near St. Cyprien. Any word on that one?
