Before the development of canals, railways or metalled roads, the quickest and most effective means of transporting goods from one point to another in Britain was by the use of coastal shipping, shallow-draft boats travelling between the ports of the British Isles. With the development and improvement of the canals, railways and especially the road network, however, coastal shipping in the UK has decreased dramatically. In this book, maritime author Ian Collard takes a look at the history of coastal shipping in the UK, examining in turn the ports of the English Channel, the North East, Scotland and the Irish Sea and the ships used to transport so much cargo and so many passengers. The author has written many books on the Steam Packet, ocean liners, cargo ships, particularly those sailing out of Liverpool. He lives in the Wirral, within sight and sound of the Mersey and therefore it is not surprising that the book contains images and captions for a number of vessels that served the Isle of Man View Larger Image This book tells the story of R.R Portus & Sons who carried domestic coal between the Isle of Man and the mainland using tugs and sea-going cargo barges. It also outlines the tragic circumstances surrounding the sinking in 1948 of the tug Toxteth. View Larger Image This book celebrates an often overlooked part of Manx maritme history. The wooden steam barge Sirdar has been a feature of island coastal life since the early 1920s and its story, ably told by Captain Stephen Carter, paints a picture of working life in the sea and harbour waters surrounding the Isle of Man.

Pages: 240 Size 28cm x 23 cm Hardback
£25.00 The Royal National Lifeboat Institution is the charity that saves lives at sea. For nearly two hundred years its volunteers have shown courage and selflessness in facing storm and shipwreck to offer assistance. Never taken for granted, these qualities of service transcend the centuries to ring as true now as in the earliest days of the lifeboats. This unprecedented new book is a photographic celebration of every-day bravery, compassion, and outstanding commitment in the toughest of conditions. From the Cornish coasts to the Shetland Isles and the Isle of Man (10 pages), we join crewman and photographer Nigel Millard as he travels the length of Britain and Ireland, living and working with his fellow lifeboatmen and accompanying them on their rescue missions. In 2011 alone some 7,976 people were saved by lifeboat crews and a further 17,670 were assisted by the service's new lifeguard units, with lifeboats launching on average almost 20 times a day. This book honours the dedication of generations of hard-working people who generously give their time to those in danger and their families who wait for news while the lifeboats are out - a visual tribute to the sea and those who go to it. All around our coasts, and every day of the year, the men and women of the RNLI are on duty's call. Though the RNLI has evolved, through its technologies and size of organisation, its sense of purpose and vision - to end preventable loss of life at sea - is as clear as it was in the very beginning. This is a simple story of a voluntary rescue service, of men and women happy to race to the assistance of strangers at all hours of day or night should ever the need arise. We hope these photographs show something of this spirit. We are encouraged never to forget the bravery, skill and sacrifice of the people of the RNLI. They are heroes all. View Larger Image In 2010, the world's oldest steamship line celebrated its 180th anniversary. For 183 years, the Isle of Steam Packet Co. has been the lifeline to the Isle of Man, providing passenger and freight services for the island. Almost into the 20th century, the ships were primarily paddle steamers but screw steamers took over then. In 1962, the first ro-ro ferries arrived and then by the late 1990s catermarans were being used, offering a huge increase in speed. In this book the author, who has written many books on the Mersey and its ships, tells the story of the Steam Packet through time and he has included a fascinating selection of photographs that traces some of the many ways in which the company has changed overt he last century. View Larger Image In 2005 Ferry Publications published "Steam Packet 175" and during the course of the research for this book a large amount of photography was uncovered. The decison was taken at the time to produce a second book, "Steam Packet The Album" as a companion to "Steam Packet 175" to enable all of these photograpghs to be published. The book was an overnight success and outsold the orignal book within six months. In response to many requests to republish the book, this book has now been produced as an updated version of "Steam Packet The Album". Many of the original pictures are included but alot of new material has been added including a chapter which looks in to the future of the Steam Packet in the current environment and economic conditions. View Larger Image ****SPECIAL OFFER PRICE - RRP £18.00**** This mostly full colour pictorial book is a compilation of photographs taken over the past 80 years and supplied by both enthusiasts and established photographers. The photographs predominantly consist of material not previously seen and each image is annotated with a caption. View Larger Image This book is a revision and update of Ferries of the Isle of Man Past and Present and includes a number of photographs not previously published. In addition to presenting a pictorial record of the islands passenger shipping over more than half a century, it also records the significant changes which have taken place around the ports of the Isle of Man. View Larger Image This book presents a pictorial record of the changes that have gradually taken place in the shipping scene around the Isle of Man since the Second World War and the present day. The photographs present an unusual insight into the way goods have been carried to the island as well as presenting a visual record of many of the changes in the infrastructure surrounding the islands harbours. View Larger Image Named after a Manx King the King Orry of 1913 was a landmark in the technical evolution of the Steam Packet Company being their first ship fitted with geared turbines. Although designed to carry holidaymakers to and from the Isle of Man it was her service as an Armed Boarding Vessel during the two World wars that earned her a place in the Island's maritime history. Her remarkable exploits are recalled in this book. This book covers the period from the 1960s to the present day. Not only are all the well known passenger ferries in it but also there are many images of the unsung heros of the island's shipping such as the cargo vessels. This is the official 175th Anniversary book for the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company. It charts the fascinating history of the company from its earliest days until the present time and features every ship that it has owned. The book contains much previously unpublished material. View Larger Image This is the story of Manx Line a private shipping company which started the first roll-on/roll-off service between the Isle of Man and the UK. It was spawned from a conventional containerised cargo service which had started in the wake of the industrial action by the National Union of Seamen. The new company with its single ship took on the long established Isle of Man Steam Packet Company and won and its success led to the merger of the two companies. Manx Line had a major and lasting impact on the Island's infrastructure and economy. View Larger Image Heysham Port: A Century of Manx and Irish Services

The St. James football program has a new head coach.
The hiring of Mark Fischer to take over that post was approved by the Horry County Schools Board of Education at a regularly scheduled meeting Monday night.
St. James will officially announce the hiring of Fischer during a press conference today at the high school.
Fischer had been the head coach at Louisa High School in Virginia, where he led last season's team to a 10-0 regular-season record and 11-1 overall.
Billy Hurston resigned as St. James football coach Nov. 10 following a 2-9 season that earned the Sharks their second playoff berth in program history. Hurston, the only head football coach in the program's short history, went 16-56 in his seven seasons as St. James coach.
Hurston, who still teaches at the school, said at the time of his resignation that the decision to step down was "100 percent my choice."

New Delhi: Theatre veteran Makarand Deshpande will bring his classic Hindi play Sir Sir Sarla here on Sunday. It is special for him as he is returning to the capital's stage after a dozen years.
The play, directed by and starring Deshpande, also features Sanjay Dhadhich, Aahana Kumra and Faisal Rasheed in lead roles. It talks about love as the only subject that has no curriculum.
Deshpande said in a statement: "Sir Sir Sarla is a play which is very close to my heart. It's been over a decade and a half that I have been performing this play and I am glad that after so many years, we're getting a chance to perform in front of audiences across the country as part of the Zee Theatre Tour.
"It's a play that the audience will relate with, especially my character, who faces constant internal conflicts with his prudish self, like many of us. I hope people in Delhi like the play."
Anuj Talukder, President, Zee Live, said: "Having launched the Zee Theatre Tour in January, our focus remains to strengthen the theatre ecosystem by creating unforgettable experiences. We look forward to being in Delhi."

Guidance on exposure to Welding Fumes
In February 2019, the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) issued a safety alert updating its advice regarding the risks and controls of exposure to welding fumes. This is intended for those who undertake any type of welding activity in any industry.
- Due to the reclassification of welding fume as a carcinogen, there is now NO safe limit to exposure
- General workplace ventilation would not be considered an acceptable solution
- The HSE recommend that engineering control solutions must be put in place for all welding, including outdoor work, and work of short duration.
Our technically qualified engineers hold Professional Certification (P604) from the Health and Safety industry body, British Occupational Hygiene Society (BOHS), and recommend companies follow the latest advice based on the Approved Codes of Practice (ACOPs) and Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (CoSHH) Regulations.
Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV)
BEAM have extensive experience providing Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) systems for extraction of welding fume at source ranging from individual workstations to factory wide installations.
We have a wide range of welding fume extraction arms ranging from 1m – 9m in length which provide extraction at the source.
Our equipment range has unique innovations in the design which provides the following benefits to the operators:
- Our welding fume extraction arms feature an external self-balancing frame, providing the user with effortless movement and positional stability over the workpiece for consistent and effective performance.
- The external hose is very accessible for service and maintenance and is available as a spare part in lengths to suit the client’s needs which reduces ongoing costs and downtime.
- The support uses gas-struts to counterbalance the weight. This is a superior design which out-performs the common alternative of friction & spring supports.
- Our extract arms feature a flanged inlet which greatly improves the effective capture distance. In practice, this allows for fewer movements to reposition the arm over the workpiece and minimises the operator input and improves productivity.
- We can offer control systems from basic manual operation to fully automatic start/stop and demand control of fans.
In addition, our systems are:
- Suitable for single or multi-operator
- Energy efficient
- Demand Controlled
- Maintenance free
In some working environments, it may not be practical to install fixed extraction arms. A further solution could be Portable Fume Extraction, comprising of extract arm and integrated filtration unit, designed to provide weld fume extraction throughout a workshop floor.
Welding Fume Extraction Enclosures at Robot Cells
Following the principles outlined within CoSHH guidance, some manufacturing companies have introduced robotic welding cells which completely remove the operators from harm.
Beam can advise on suitable extract systems, including enclosures, extract capacity, and offer complete solutions comprising the design, supply, installation and validation of the equipment.
On-torch extraction solutions
This consists of a proprietary welding gun with integrated suction nozzle at the tip. This system can be beneficial where no other extract solution can be deployed due to restrictions within the location where the work is carried out.
Beam can offer a multi operator centralised on torch extraction system which is efficient and economical to maintain.
Get in touch
We have a demonstration unit available and can offer a trial and further advice to suit your business requirements. To arrange a demonstration or to speak to an in-house engineer, please contact us.


iPhone Assembler Foxconn in Talks With Saudi Arabia to Build Electric Vehicles
Apple's contract manufacturer Foxconn Technology Group is best known for assembling tens of millions of Apple products, including the popular iPhone. But the company is looking for new ways to diversify its business as smartphone sales decline, which might include assembling electric vehicles for other companies.
As the global auto industry shifts towards electrification, cars are essentially becoming computers on wheels, so it makes sense for Foxconn, which is one of the world's biggest electronics manufacturers, to start building electric cars. That might happen in Saudi Arabia, according to a report from Bloomberg.
Bloomberg reported on Thursday that Saudi Arabia and Foxconn are in talks to form a joint venture to make electric vehicles, which will help the oil-rich country diversify its economy, according to people familiar with the matter.
Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF), which manages roughly $450 billion of assets, will create a new entity named "Velocity" to be the majority stakeholder of the joint venture, said two of the people, who asked not to be named because the effort is not yet public, Bloomberg reported.
As part of the deal, Foxconn will provide software, electronics and the electrical architecture for the new EVs and will be a minority stakeholder in the collaboration, according to one of the people. The deal might help the country gain experience in manufacturing electric cars, another person said.
The joint venture is looking to assemble EVs on a chassis licensed from BMW, two of the people said. The deal could be finalized by the end of the year. However, sources told Bloomberg that no agreement has been made and the plans could change.
Foxxonn has been exploring the possibility of building EVs for automakers since at least last year.
In Oct 2020, Foxconn announced that it aims to provide components or services to around 10% of the world's electric vehicles (EVs) between 2025 and 2027. But now it appears the company's plans are bigger.
Foxconn unveiled three electric vehicle prototypes this past October at its annual Foxconn Technology Day event in Taipei. The three battery-powered vehicles are designed for mass production. The reference designs allow EV companies to customize the vehicles to their own specifications.
The EVs were manufactured by Foxtron, a joint venture between Foxconn and Yulon Motor, a Taiwanese automaker that produces Nissan and Mitsubishi cars for the local market.
The three EV prototypes are based on the designs of the MIH Consortium, a Foxconn-led open software and hardware platform. The open hardware and software platform is called the "MIH EV Open Platform." It includes an EV chassis, electronic architecture and support for autonomous driving.
Foxconn aims for its electric vehicle production to become a $35 billion business by 2026. The company's Chairman Young Liu said to news outlet Nikkei Asia in October that Foxconn's $35 billion target is a goal it "must achieve."
With billions in assets, Saudi Arabia's PIF is a major investor in clean energy technologies, including electric cars. The fund invested $1 billion in Lucid Motors in 2018, which helped the company build its factory in Arizona and launch the Lucid Air sedan. The PIF holds a 62.7% stake in Lucid and encouraged the company to set up an EV factory inside the kingdom, according to Bloomberg.
Earlier this year, Saudi Arabia hired advisers including Boston Consulting Group to explore establishing its own domestic electric car company, Bloomberg News has reported earlier.
EV startup Fisker Inc. announced earlier this year that Foxconn will build its second electric vehicle. Fisker announced in February that it entered into a MOU with Foxconn to develop what it calls a "breakthrough electric vehicle" codenamed "Project PEAR" (Personal Electric Automotive Revolution). Projected annual volumes are more than 250,000 vehicles a year. Production of the new Fisker EV is planned for Q4 2023.
Last month, struggling electric truck startup Lordstown Motors entered into an agreement with Foxconn for it to purchase Lordstown Motors' factory in Lordstown, Ohio. The factory was a former General Motors assembly plant. As part of the deal, the two companies will enter into a strategic partnership to build EVs.
The Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund (PIF) was established in 1971 to provide financing support for projects of strategic significance to the national economy. The PIF invests in the fields of telecoms, aerospace and green technologies, such as electric cars, with a focus on renewable energy and information technology.

Oh the life of being the Duchess of Cambridge must be so darn difficult — no really! Kate Middleton, the average woman living the life so many young girls dream about, meeting a prince and that whole nine yards, has seriously had to undergo some rude awakenings and personal changes in order to fit into her new world.
Her oh-so-casual style was mocked in the tabloids in the months before her marriage to Prince William, and her weight was apparently a castle-wide discussion when she would visit the queen. Since then, Kate has significantly slimmed down while bulking up her fancy clothes closet. And despite what any of us may think about the societal pressures of dress and weight, the world is in love with the woman Kate is as a Duchess, not necessarily the one she was when she wasn't.
All that aside, Kate has managed to keep her feet on the ground in other ways, specifically through her hair and makeup, both of which she reportedly still does herself. But, alas, the media and even her adorning fans aren't necessarily happy with what may be the last of the Duchess' own personal choices.
According to Hollywood Life, Kate Middleton' hair length has been a hot button issue in the UK for quite some time. In comparison to others who have come before her, many feel that Kate's long locks are too distracting and encourage people to focus on her beauty rather than her position. Note that the Queen, Camilla and the late Princess Di all sport cropped locks.
The reporter said to be ruffling the waves on the other side of the pond is calling Kate "your Royal Hairness," and urges her to, “Discard the comfort blanket and let the world see you for the lovely, kind young woman you really are.”
Um, I don't know about you, curlies, but I don't think Kate Middleton's long, albeit beautiful, tresses are any type of distraction from her position, nor does she use them to tout her beauty. It is her hair, after all! She has the right to do with it as she pleases. Now, would I be upset to see her chop it all off? No way, but only if it was her decision and not because of some jealous reporter.
What do you think, curlies? Sound off below. I'm going to go have some tea to calm down...

How To Plump Up Lips, Smooth Facial Lines With Restylane
Restylane treatments are a recently developed method of cosmetic facial restoration that is non surgical. Restylane injections are relatively new in the United States but have been available to patients in Europe for many years. The treatment involves injecting a filler to smooth out facial wrinkles, fine lines, fill in sunken or hollow spots or plump up lips.
Traditional surgical face lifts usually require a hospital stay and time off work. There will be some scars from incisions, swelling, bruising and pain. With Restylane treatments, there are immediate visible results, no hospital stay, normally no swelling or any of the other side effects of invasive cosmetic facial procedures.
Cosmetic Uses For Restylane
The FDA approved Restylane injections in 2003 as a facial wrinkle and line treatment. Other cosmetic uses of Restylane include contouring areas of the face such as around the mouth and the cheeks to create a more balanced appearance. Injections can help fill in sunken areas beneath the eyes or nose. Restylane can also be used to help smooth out laugh lines around the mouth. Restylane can be used to enhance or augment the lips, although long term studies have not been documented about this method of use.
Advantages Of Restylane
The big advantage to using Restylane over other injected fillers is that Restylane is a natural substance and poses much less risk of allergic reactions. It also lasts a bit longer than many other fillers. Restylane was developed by a Swedish company and is made of hyaluronic acid that is biodegradable. Because it is a naturally occurring acid, our bodies will simply degrade it over a period of time and it will not leave any harmful chemicals behind in the tissues or skin.
How It Works
Restylane injections are in gel form and work by increasing the volume of the tissue beneath the skin. According to the manufacturer, Restylane is unique because it is the only injected filler that will bind with water molecules in the tissue and create a more natural, smooth look while reducing wrinkles and lines.
Patients who receive Restylane injections can usually expect to have positive results for around half a year. One injection will normally be enough to create a visible result, although the injections can be safely repeated as needed over time.
Ideal Candidates For Restylane Treatments
Ideal potential candidates for Restylane injections are men and women who have mild or moderate wrinkles and lines around the mouth and nose or who want a natural, biodegradable lip augmentation. This form of non surgical facial cosmetic treatment is also ideal for patients who don't need a face lift but show some signs of aging.
Find A Qualified Cosmetic Surgeon
Because this is a relatively new procedure, it's important to find a cosmetic surgeon or technician who has experience with Restylane injections and can answer any questions you have. Be sure to ask how long the surgeon or technician has been giving the injections, if he or she has had any cases where adverse reactions occurred and what steps will be taken if you should be one of the few patients to have a reaction to the injections.
Some surgeons may even have before and after pictures of previous patients who have had Restylane treatments so you can see how well it worked on other people. You have to remember though, that each patient will have different levels of positive results simply because of the natural physical differences in skin color, texture, elasticity and healing response. No surgeon or technician can predict exactly the level of improvement youíll get with your injection, but you can realistically expect to have a positive improvement after even one Restylane injection.
Possible Side Effects
While there have been very few patients who have had side effects or bad reactions to Restylane treatments, there is always the possibility of that happening. Even if they do happen, they normally subside in a matter of a few days. Those rare but potential side effects could include some swelling, bruising, red skin or pain in the injection site.
As more advances are made in non surgical face lift procedures, more women and men are opting to undergo treatments to slow down the visible effects of facial aging such as wrinkles, lines, sun damage or sagging skin. The first step is to discuss treatment options with your cosmetic surgeon and find out if Restylane treatments would be beneficial to you.

The Police Department in Belize City was forced to take immediate strong action and impose a 9p.m. curfew on all minors after they detained three underage males involved in two recent homicides in the city.
It’s an unwanted situation for the City but Assistant Commissioner of Police Chester Williams stressed that they need to bring an end to the violence on the streets of the city and that the curfew is one method that will assist the department.
“The curfew will help our law-abiding citizens to feel free and safe in our community,” stated Williams to Channel 5 News.
But the City is in shock after knowing the details of the recent murders that involve these minors. It is believed that minors are being recruited by gangs to commit these heinous crimes. As of Thursday evening, March 17, unsupervised minors found outdoors after nine p.m. will be detained by officers. Those detained will be taken to the police station and kept in custody until the following morning when the parents can go for the child.
On Tuesday, March 15, 2016, police found 18-year-old Mario Trotman’s body in the Jane Usher Area who police believe that a friend lured him to that area and shot him on the head. Police told Belize City media that they caught the 15 year old shooter and that he has been charged, but police are still searching for more answers to close this case.

Vietnam Covid-19 Updates (Nov. 29): Vietnam Mulls Covid-19 Travel Ban for Southern Africa
|Photo: VN Express|
Vietnam reports 12,936 new Covid-19 infections on November 28
Vietnam logged 12,936 new cases of Covid -19 in the past 24 hours to 4pm on November 28, according to the Ministry of Health. The ministry also said that Vietnam has not yet detected any cases infected with the new coronavirus variant Omicron. Among the new cases, 7,100 were found in the community and eight were imported. Compared to the previous, the number of daily cases fell nationally by 120.
HCM City topped the list with 1,454 new infections, followed by Can Tho city with 966 and Binh Duong with 705. The capital city of Hanoi reported 277 new cases.
France aids Vietnam with some 1.4 million doses of Covid-19 vaccine
Vietnam received about 1.4 million doses of the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine aided by France on November 27 and 28, bringing the total doses offered by the European donor to more than 2 million. The freshly received vaccine, consisting of 400,000 doses via the bilateral diplomatic channel and nearly 1 million doses via the COVAX Facility, was the result of Vietnam’s vaccine diplomacy efforts and of Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh’s official visit to France in November.
The assistance of the French Government and people to Vietnam amid complicated developments of Covid-19 is of important significance. It is a vivid evidence for the strategic partnership between the two countries and affirms their mutual cooperation and support in pandemic prevention and control.
Vietnam hopes France will continue its vaccine aid for and cooperate with Vietnam in the production and technological transfer of Covid-19 vaccines and treatment drugs, as well as assist Vietnam regarding related medical equipment and supplies. The sides should work together in putting forth creative collaboration measures and orientations for their early adaptation to post-pandemic conditions and gradual recovery of socio-economic activities.

Student dies after receiving Covid vaccine in northern province
The Health Department of Bac Giang Province has confirmed that one of four students who suffered anaphylactic shock after receiving the Pfizer vaccine in Son Dong District has died. Nguyen Thi Thu Huong, deputy director of the department, said Sunday the cause of the death of the 16-year-old male student was initially determined as "overreaction to the vaccine."
He was first treated at the Bach Mai Hospital in Hanoi with a female student of the same age, also suffering from severe anaphylaxis after receiving the Pfizer vaccine on November 24 in Son Dong District. Another two students with less severe reaction are being treated in the district.
A Bach Mai hospital representative said that the girl remained in critical condition and doctors were trying their best to save her. The anaphylaxis cases happened when 700 students were vaccinated with Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine at a mobile vaccination station set up at the Son Dong High School No. 2 and Ethnic Minority Boarding School in the eponymous district.
About 15-30 minutes after inoculation, four students had anaphylaxis symptoms. Two of them had severe reactions like dizziness, shortness of breath, chest pain, nausea, pale skin, slow heart rate, and blood oxygen saturation index below 90 percent, compared to the normal rate of 95-100 percent. On receiving the two students, doctors at the Bach Mai Hospital immediately treated them with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), focusing on improving their cardiopulmonary functions.

Larry Love, then… one half of O’CONNELL & LOVE. Born Robert Spragg, son of a Welsh Mormon preacher, with fire and brimstone eternally in his soul. Having studied law, Larry left for London at 21, with a pocket full of Woodie Guthrie lyrics.
He met Jake Black (Rev D.Wayne Love) and formed Alabama 3 in 1992, a musical “car crash” which merged country and western songs with the burgeoning acid house movement.
By 1997 at the height of brit pop, they had effectively scuppered their chances of being accepted by the established British music industry, but were picked up by Geffen Records who initially recognised that what might look like a twisted interface on paper was an effective blueprint to consolidate a long-term career in the industry.
From The Sopranos to The Simpsons, and a wide variety of projects including winning a Welsh BAFTA for the soundtrack to Welsh television series Y Pris, Larry Love has followed the adage of Bob Dylan ‘to live outside the law you must be honest’.
Brendan O’Connell met Larry in the 90s not long before the Alabama 3 signed their first deal and Brendan was in a band called Past Caring. But in the 90s acoustic guitars and violins didn’t fit with the dance music scene. Record companies said they loved the music but couldn’t see how they could sell it.
So Brendan got his musical kicks playing banjo and mandolin in Irish trad sessions, living in Barcelona for a year, hooking up with some local flamenco players, and picked up what he could. From there to Caracas, Venezuela, where he became great friends with Joropo musicians and against a background of attempted coups, murder and social chaos they performed in a band, Los Calabozenos. Those diverse influences still surface in all Brendan’s music.
After returning to London, he wrote for Brixton-based urban country band The Messengers of God when Larry approached him to co-write much of his first solo album Ghost Flight in 2006.
Brendan is always writing songs and playing music so when he and Larry decided to write a follow up album to Ghost Flight, they had over 30 songs to choose from – but for many reasons it took 7 years to finish the album. Life just gets in the way!
So, Larry and Brendan had written the songs for their new album. Now they needed to find a band.
Along came Doc Williams on bass, Owen If, another Brixton resident, the drummer for The Stereo MCs and also a great swing/ rock n roll drummer, brought his unique style to the band.
He also brought one of the best jobbing guitarists from that circuit Jeff Mead, with an array of fantastically shaped and coloured guitars and virtuoso lap steel playing that formed the perfect team.
Ladies and gentleman of the congregation – and all those in between, welcome to O’CONNELL & LOVE! The band perform at Fibbers this coming Saturday.


Intel's fourth quarter and full-year financials has the PC industry on edge. Sales and profits keep falling for the chip giant's PC client business and there doesn't seem to be an end to that trend in sight.
Revenue for Intel's PC Client Group came in at $34.3 billion (£21.6 billion) for 2012, a 3 per cent decline from 2011, while the business unit's fourth quarter sales of $8.5 billion (£5.4 billion) fell even more markedly, dropping 6 per cent from the same period the year before. Overall, sales of $53.3 billion (£33.6 billion) for the year were down just 1.2 per cent from 2011, but Intel's net income of $11 billion (£6.9 billion) for 2012 dropped from $12.9 billion (£8.1 billion) in profits from the year before for a whopping 15 per cent year-over-year decline.
The cause for Intel's misfortunes is well known and has been documented by numerous researchers, commentators and analysts. Mobile devices are on the upswing and PCs are yesterday's news in the most lucrative global markets, Intel is simply on the wrong side of this trend.
It's not all doom-and-gloom for Intel, as its Data Centre Group revenue is going up. Leading with its powerful Xeon brand of server processors, the company grew sales into the data centre by 6 per cent for the year and by 4 per cent for the quarter. The trouble for Intel is that Data Centre Group revenue of $10.7 billion (£6.7 billion) in 2013 isn't even a third of what the company made with flagging sales of its chips for PCs, so if the PC market keeps shrinking this year, the company will have a tough time making up for it even if the server market continues to grow.
In short, the chip giant either needs to put the brakes on the growth of the ARM-dominated mobile device market with more attractive ultrabook and hybrid tablet alternatives running on x86 chips, start to really grow its share in smartphones after years of failing to do so, or probably both.
Patrick Moorhead, principal analyst for Moor Insights & Strategy, figures that Intel has a good shot of accomplishing the first task this year but it could still be awhile before an Intel phone is more than just an edge product.
"To revive the PC market back to historical growth levels, Intel and its partners have to make the notebook more desirable than a 10in tablet. With what Intel has been showing, they have a decent shot with 9mm-thin, Haswell-based hybrids with prices ranging from $499 (£314) to $599 (£377)," Moorhead said.
Haswell is the code name for the 22nm chips Intel plans to bring out in the first half of this year as successors to its current Ivy Bridge generation of Core processors. At last year's Intel Developer Forum, the company teased a Haswell-based processor drawing just 10 watts of power, which Intel figures will offer a very attractive combo of performance, small size and battery life-extending goodness for touch-enabled tablets and hybrids that combine laptop and tablet functionality, putting makers of ARM-based parts on their toes.
That won't happen for a while but in the meantime, Intel and its traditional hardware partners have been showcasing Windows 8 tablets and hybrids running on Atom Systems-on-a-Chip (SoCs). What's more, newly minted hardware entrant Microsoft is scheduled to release the Core-based Surface Pro tablet later this month and Intel has also modified its x86 instruction set for the Android mobile operating system, showing that the chip giant has contingencies in place for cracking the tablet market.
Smartphones are a different story, Moorhead pointed out. Intel was talking up its Medfield-class Atom SoCs as competition for ARM all the way back in 2011. The chip giant did manage to get some Intel phones released in far-flung markets in 2012. Handset contracts should increase over the next 12 months, but the reality is that we may once again be looking at "wait-til-next-year" results in 2013, according to the analyst.
"In mobile, 2012 was a credibility year for Intel, which they built with handset and service providers," Moorhead said.
"In 2013, Intel is tripling their offering, with a premium solution called CloverTrail+ and an entry-level solution called Lexington. These entries sandwich the mid-range Medfield offerings. Intel will be more successful in 2013 in smartphones, but 2014 is where it all comes together with a brand new architecture at 14nm."
In the meantime, the growth of big data and its booming server business is helping Intel offset some of its difficulties in clients. Count the chip giant out? Of course not, but you have to wonder how, with all of its resources, Intel hasn't yet been able to put together a simple smartphone chip the leading manufacturers wants.

Should I go on antidepressants?
Last Updated: 02/25/2020 at 12:43am
Hannah Caradonna, MSW, RCSW (RCC #11330)
I offer a warm and non-judgmental space for you to work through your problems. I can help you with anxiety, disordered eating, depression, relationship problems and more.
Top Rated Answers
I'm on antidepressants. I'm on them because I have major depression and anxiety. It's treating my chemical imbalance, and that's what they're for. You need to speak to a professional to figure out if that's the kind of assistance you need. Just remember they aren't magic "happy" pills.
I wouldn't recommend it.. Antidepressants are meant for someone suffering from longtime clinical depression , it controls your mind and has some adverse side effects, if it is not recommended by a psychiatrist one should never take antidepressants or tranquilizers on their own!
While that is definitely a question best saved for your doctor, antidepressants helped me a lot. They don't work the way most people would expect them to- the world doesn't automatically become colourful again- but I found that the lows were not nearly as low and I felt better equipped to deal with life than I had previously. The change they had on my life was gradual but substantial. Since the treatment takes a long time to work, I don't know if I would have bothered if I was not chronically depressed, but I think it is worth a chat with your doctor :).
Yeah. Start on them and if they dont work out for you, get off them. It's a bit of a wild ride really.
Only you and your doctor can decide if antidepressants are right for you. What is good for one person, may not be good for another.
This is really a question every one needs to answer for themselves, Anti-Depressants DO have side effects like all medications. There are risks. And they may not work, it may take time to find the ones that are right for YOUR body and your chemistry. But it might also be a risk worth taking.
Anti depressants aren't really fully understood by the medical or psychological community, and many, especially SSRI class antidepressants, like Prozac an Zoloft, come with a cadre of dangerous side effects. The most important thing is that we do not understand the long term effects of SSRIs, and if they are documented, they are well hidden by the companies that manufacture them. Additionally, antidepressants do not solve your problems, they make you feel better while keeping the problem wholly intact. Far better to deal with the problem properly than to ignore it.
Typically, we know our bodies better than anyone else does. Chances are, if you think you should be on medications, then it's worth calling up your healthcare provider and getting a referral to someone who could help in prescribing them. It's extremely important to never self-diagnose and leave it up to the professionals.
This is a tough question - the effects of antidepressants really vary widely based on the individual person, so it's difficult to predict side effects a certain person might experience, or if a certain antidepressant will work for you. Having tried a variety of antidepressants myself, I will say that it is probably important to be patient, as I did not stay on any of those medications long enough to see possible results (antidepressants typically take about 4-6 weeks to really start working, I believe. But it does vary). I stopped because of side effects that concerned me, but unfortunately it seems that most people go through at least some side effects, at least in the beginning. But it should always be up to you whether or not to continue the medication. I can tell you that side effects certainly can lessen, but if a side effect concerns you too much, and it's not something you can handle even if you've only just started the medication, you of course have every right to stop taking it. I can tell you I'm currently trying an antidepressant for the longest I ever have (which really has only been maybe 3 weeks, so not very long), and at least some of the side effects that I went through in the beginning have dissipated. But it really is up to you. It could be helpful to consult with a psychiatrist, though I would just be careful that you find a good one who doesn't automatically push medications on you. Talk therapy can be perhaps just as effective, and I've heard that the combination of talk therapy and medication can also be particularly helpful. But again, it depends on the individual. I don't know where you are in your path towards seeking treatment, but I commend you for thinking about this and taking steps to get better. Take care.
I know I am on them, and they seem to work decent for me. If you think it's best for you, then maybe! But you should see a doctor.
Antidepressants were very helpful to me when starting to get out of depression. I did not stay on them, they just helped me get through school and get out of bed. It could just be for temporary or however long you need.
This is a question for a medical professional. Many people are helped by these types of medications but others may not be or may have side effects. Everyone reacts differently so here at 7 Cups, we do not give medical advice or discuss medications. I wish you the best and ask that you contact a medical professional.
Consult your doctor about how you feel and how your life has been going for you. Only you know yourself: Your mind, your body, your soul. This is a question you should mainly ask yourself when you feel as though you have tried everything that you possibly could but have received no positive results. But, mind you, sometimes when you get started on the drugs, you become dependent on them. Ask yourself: Can I afford these for the rest of my life if I can't cope without them? Do I really want to be dependent on a drug to help manage my life? Is this what I really want to do or is there another alternative?
Antidepressants can help in a lot of cases. Its always best to discuss your options with a psychiatrist or your GP so that you can make an informed decision about what would be the best choice for you.
The choice to go on any sort of medication is an extremely personal decision and is entirely up to the individual. You should do whatever you think will be the best thing for you, no one else. Medications can be very effective in treating depression, but there are also a variety of other treatment strategies that are very successful as well. Discuss with your doctor what you feel would be the best course of action to take. Feel free to private message me if you'd like to discuss this topic any further. Best Wishes, Francesca Gabrielle
It's important to remember that every person is different, and what's good for one person might not be good for someone else. When deciding whether or not to go on antidepressant it's important to examine yourself, and ultimately choose the path the best suits you. Remember never to self medicate, always ask a medical professional before starting on any kind of perscription medication.
This is a question you should take with your therapist or doctor, depending on where you live. They will be able to aid you with more accuracy than we can.
Antidepressants are not for everyone. Taking medicine for your depression can help you get your life back to normal, but if your symptoms truly are keeping you from living your normal life. Also, antidepressants don't work right away. And you may need to try several times before you find one that actually works. As I see it, the mind needs to do the work of healing itself. Medications just support the mind to make this job easier. Antidepressants can help you function, help you get up in the morning, help you have the energy to get through your day and lift your mood enough so that life doesn’t feel so… painful.
Some say consult your doctor or psychiatrist but they often push antidepressants. When I was 16 they put me on Zoloft which has a high teen suicide thoughts rate. I ended up having suicidal thoughts and it was the worst experience ever. If you find the right medication it can be a God send but if you get put on the wrong one it can have some really bad effects.
That is a decision someone has to make for themselves, What you need to make sure is that you have done everything you can to make sure you have been able to take care of the external causes of your depression before you start to deal with them chemically. Medications are a heavy step to take and you need to determine if this is a tool that you are going to use temporarily to get yourself out of a bad situation or if you might need to use them long term. The best thing to do is meet with a psychiatrist and make sure this is an option for you. You may be able to come up with some other methods to treat your depression. You also need to keep in mind that some medications can cause some harmful effects on the body if they are used long term and you may have to decide if that is a risk you want to take.
Never on your own! No matter how bad you feel, first find a doctor and if you trust him and he prescribes antidepressants then you can take them.
LOL - This question was made for me. Yes, I believe they help, but they're not enough. Determination is needed. You should see a doctor if you think you might need antidepressants, obviously!
It all depends on how bad you're feeling, and for how long you've felt that way for. If you're having a short-term crisis maybe going on them for six months or so would be a good thing. If you've had problems for a much longer time, then you might want to look on staying on them in the long-term. I suffered from an anxiety disorder for 8 years without realizing, and because I put treatment off for so long, I'm now on antidepressants for about two years or longer. If you can find one that works for you, then that's great! It's all a matter of choice: and you can still live a normal everyday life: people don't even notice you're on them :)
That's something that you should really discuss with a doctors. It really depends on your diagnosis and severity of the symptoms of what you are dealing with. There are definitely benefits to medication in the right situation. Sometimes they can definitely improve your quality of life. There are also side-effects that you have to consider as well. A psychiatrist or even a general practitioner can help you make that determination. Ultimately you have to do what you think is best for you as well.
If you feel like antidepressants are right for you than you should do it, but you should always research before hand and find out whats best for you.
Antidepressants are used for serve cases of depression only. This is because it servely tampers with the physical health.
You should choose what is right for you. Research the topic on internet so that you can make your own choice. Stats show that the majority of people benefit most from a combination of medication and talk therapy. However, it also shows that talk therapy on its own is as effective as medication. Medication also do have side effects
If you feel you need to, then you must. But if ever in need just try to connect to a listener and hopefully they can make you feel better :)
Sometimes individuals need antidepressants to help them feel better. There is no shame in taking them. You need to consult a doctor.
Don't treat them as a prescription, treat them as a reminder of how to feel better, IF YOU REALLY CANNOT HELP IT!

A Former Saint is Under Investigation for Mardi Gras Incident
The trend of arrests in the NFL has been getting better over the last few years. But it feels like arrests for crimes "of a sexual nature" seem to be trending up. I'm not looking at any stats right now, so that might be totally off, but it just feels that way. Like a perception thing.
Now it appears another former New Orleans Saint joins that perception. Here are some of the details from the Louisiana Radio Network:
"Tyrunn Walker, a New Iberia native and former defensive lineman for the New Orleans Saints, is reportedly being investigated by Lafayette authorities over claims of sexual assault by two women. Not much is known about the apparent probe."
Walker was a member of the Los Angels Rams until this week, but the team has parted ways with him while he's being investigated. According to reports from MLive, the incident Walker is being investigated for took place during Mardi Gras earlier this year.

7:17 PM: The first of more than half a dozen marching bands is on the field right now at Southwest Athletic Complex across from Chief Sealth International High School, for this year’s Band Jam – something the Seattle All-City Band and its director Marcus Pimpleton (photo below; he’s also music leader at Sealth and adjacent Denny International Middle School) came up as a way for ACB and visiting bands to have fun and tune up the night before the big Seafair Torchlight Parade.
Good crowd already in the stadium stands, but still lots of room for you to drop in – no admission charge, but if you buy concessions/merchandise from ACB volunteers, that’ll benefit their ongoing operations. The Junior All-City Band, which Pimpleton explained as a “two-week camp” – including its performance in last Saturday’s Rotary Kiddie Parade before the West Seattle Grand Parade – is up first. Others to come include not only the ACB but also the Calgary Round-Up Band (seen in the WS Grand Parade as was the ACB), Pacific Northwest Drumline (video below), Sumner High School Marching Band (top photo), and more.
9:07 PM: Over after two high-energy hours.
Surprise of the night, Chaotic Noise Marching Corps (photo above), a self-described ‘renegade marching band’ – wow! (Video added:)
11:05 PM: We’re adding photos and video now, some inline, some in this last section. Here’s our video of how the night ended – with members of all the bands getting back out on the field for what was indeed a band jam:
Aside from that, Calgary put on what was literally the biggest show:
It was a field-wide, theatrical presentation with a circus theme, including acrobatics, and even, as shown in our photo above, a few costumes. Video:
Shadows fell on the field as dusk approached, but spirits and sound blazed brightly:
Some of the hosts’ choreography:
All-City Band has been practicing at SWAC this year instead of their traditional site, Memorial Stadium at Seattle Center.
ADDED SATURDAY: Thanks to Steve White for the view above of the stands from the field’s south end!

After you decide that you’re going to buy an ocarina, you’ll have to determine which one is your best choice. With so many choices, in different sizes and shapes, some with five holes and others with thirteen, made of wood or clay or plastic… with so many options picking the right one is difficult. Ask the following questions. When you can answer them confidently, you are ready to choose your new ocarina.
1. How far musically speaking do you want to go with your ocarina? Do you mainly want something to entertain you for a week or two? Or do you want a serious instrument that will let you grow to advanced levels? If aspire to go far musically and are willing to put in the practice necessary to there, get an instrument that you will not grow out of… one which will let you grow to virtuosity.
2. What type of music will you play with your ocarina? If you will be playing simple, slow melodies then most ocarinas will work just fine. However, if you want to play technically difficult music, fast tempo, perhaps with ornamentation or decoration for flair, most will not work. Make sure you hear sound samples of the ocarinas you’re considering, and make sure that they can play the type of music that you want to play.
3. Do you like the way it sounds? Have you heard this ocarina in a live performance? Probably not… but do you at least have you recordings to give you an idea of their sound?
4. Where would you like to play your ocarina? Do you expect to play for others? Will you perform publicly? Do you wish to be able to play with other musicians without needing microphone amplification? The majority of ocarinas are quiet and subdued. A few ocarinas have good playing volume and could readily be played in public without needing amplification.
5. How do you like the way it looks? If you think your instrument is beautiful, you will probably carry it more, show it to friends and family more, play it more, progress faster and farther, and enjoy it more.
6. What style of ocarina do I want, transverse or inline? Ocarinas come in two basic styles, inline and transverse. Transverse ocarinas (like the sweet potato) are played like a Boehm flute where the flute is held at a perpendicular angle to the head. Inline ocarinas are played like a recorder or clarinet where you would blow into the length of the flute. I find that the inline style is more comfortable when playing for extended periods of time.
7. Do you want a wood, clay, plastic or metal ocarina? Some thoughts. Clay is can crack or shatter if dropped. A nice hardwoodwood ocarina are beautiful. Metal ocarinas are uncommon, but some are noticeably stunning. There are many cheap plastic ocarinas… toys. Some plastic ocarinas, however, are top quality instruments made of high tech plastics like polycarbonate.
8. Are you a big time fan of the video game Zelda The Ocarina of Time? If so, then maybe you want an ocarina just like the one Link plays.
9. Where will you take your ocarina? would it be nice if your ocarina could fit in your purse or pocket? Will you hang it around your neck? Will you want to take it rock climbing or caving? Will you be careful when carrying your ocarina? As far as portability, not every ocarina was created equal. Clay ocarinas can crack or break. You can’t put bulky ocarinas in your pocket. Without a neck cord, you can’t wear it around your neck.
10. How much ancillary materials (self-study materials, inspirational music, music books, etc.) are available for the ocarina you are thinking of buying? How much help will you want in learning to play? Remember that ocarinas have limited tonal range. Sheet music and music books must fit into the tonal range of the particular ocarina that you play. If you want options and variety in your music, choose an ocarina that has companion products to support your progress.

200 grams flour (about 1 1/2 cups)
50 grams melted butter (about 3 1/2 Tablespoons)
50 grams oat bran (about 1/2 cup)
50 cl. milk (about 2 cups)
a pinch of salt
Prepare your batter:
Mix all ingredients together and let rest for at least 20 minutes before cooking crêpes. This is important for the oat bran to blend well with the mixture, otherwise you'll end up with lumps. Continually mix the batter even after you've started making your crêpes.
Make your crêpes:
Pour a thin layer of batter onto flat pan, swirling the pan if necessary for the batter to spread or smoothing out with a wooden crêpe batter tool (as shown below, click on the link to buy one from Amazon). Flip once until barely golden and stack on plate.
Garnish your crêpes:
You can use jam or Nutella or whatever floats your boat. Fold the crêpe in half, then roll. Stack them together like sardines in a can, and they are ready for a healthy snack! My kids love it when I come meet them at school with a box of crêpes all ready to eat and they all disappear by the time we're finished walking home! (The crêpes disappear, not my kids!)
Why they're healthier:
The actual crêpes have no sugar added and the oat bran gives them a slightly nutty texture that my kids are nuts about. They like this recipe better than my regular crêpes (these are just simply smooth, stretchy and delicious, the perfect texture and flavor!) and the oat bran is good for the heart, good for the transit. Everybody's happy!

After a year of negotiations with Brazilian authorities, the software giant will build a new research and development centre in the city's Port Zone, known as "Porto Maravilha". The area is in the process of regeneration and while it will receive support from the local government, Microsoft is expected to foot the full bill of the new centre.
The centre in Rio will be the fourth of its kind, following the opening of similar bases in Germany, Israel and Egypt. Microsoft is the latest company to join the growing list of tech companies investing Brazil. The likes of Lenovo, Foxconn and Cisco are all considering projects in the region, with IBM and GE having already set up research centres there.
In September 2011, Microsoft announced that it would start manufacturing Xbox 360 in Brazil to cater to local demand. Earlier this year, the software giant pledged $5 million (£3 million) for a Sao Paulo research and development hub.

They are many on the African continent who have decided to use their art primarily as a tool for change. The young men we meet today use drone imagery to make people discover their home country from a completely different view angle. Over the months, their brand has become so trendy on Cameroon’s social media that it has been associated with some major events in the country like the victory tour of the newly crowned African champions of football in February 2017. Even if they are not the pioneers of drone photography in Cameroon, Junior Chavez, and Frank Mensah can be considered as those who lifted that type of photography to new highs. We had the pleasure to discuss with them.

The History of the John L Clarke Gallery and Family
This history section contains a collection of articles written by Joyce Clarke Turvey, the original owner of The Clarke Gallery, and John Clarke’s daughter. Written in the late 1970s to mid-1980s, several of the histories were printed locally in the Glacier Reporter. My mother went to great lengths to research family genealogy and local history; in an effort that these details aren’t forever lost, they are posted here…Enjoy!
By Joyce Clarke Turvey 1984
The historical background of East Glacier Park revolved around the Blackfeet Indians, plus the western advance of white civilization, the railroad and Glacier National Park. Nomadic bands of Piegan Indians roamed the plains east of the mountains some 300 years before.

Fears of more dogs if access increased
By Catherine Hughes
FEARS that increased public access to the countryside could also mean more dogs have been raised by landowners.
Country Landowners Association president, Ian MacNicol, says dogs, both on and off the lead, not only disturb livestock but also wildlife and ground nesting birds.
And supermarkets did not want crops being grown for them to be fouled by dogs. "It will be a huge question as to whether dogs will be allowed on the land at all," he said.
Presenting the CLAs response to the governments consultation on improving access to the countryside, Mr MacNicol again highlighted the results of a recent opinion poll which showed that 92% of people supported restrictions on access to protect and conserve wildlife and the environment, with 85% supporting similar restrictions to protect farming activities and livestock.
The survey also revealed that 63% said they preferred to follow waymarked paths rather than choosing their own route.
Mr MacNicol said the CLA was, therefore, encouraging landowners to meet peoples demands for better access close to their homes.
Despite the landowners longstanding insistence that increased access can be achieved by voluntary rather than statutory means – a view rejected by the Ramblers Association – the CLA conceded that the government consultation documents three pages on the voluntary approach, compared with 26 pages on possible legislation, was a clear indication of how ministers were thinking.
Meanwhile, the Countryside Commission, in its response to the consultation, has advised government to adopt both approaches.
Spokesman Bob Roberts said: "We believe that a new national framework incorporating some legislation for the provision and control of access to open countryside is now required, together with a significant expansion of agri-environment measures to help deliver positive management of this land."
He added that increased public access would represent a significant cultural change. *
