A man launched a savage unprovoked attack on his "best friend" which has left his victim with devastating life-changing injuries, a court has heard.
A drunken Kevin Lee Jones repeatedly punched, kicked, and stamped on his friend of 25 years after popping around to his house help him set up some electrical items.
The attack caused victim Karl Reubins grave brain injuries and has left him unable to feed himself or talk, suffering with traumatic epilepsy, and requiring constant care.
Caernarfon Crown Court heard Jones is "at a loss to explain" why he attacked the father-of-three.
Sion ap Mihangel, prosecuting, said at around 1am on July 17 last years neighbours of Mr Reubins in Y Felinheli near Caernarfon heard Jones in the street shouting that he had "killed Karl".
One of neighbours said the defendant "sounded proud of what he was saying".
Paramedics and police were called and a shirtless Mr Reubins was found laying on the floor in the living room of his home.
Mr ap Mihangel said there was "blood everywhere" consistent with a struggle having taken place in the room.
The court heard paramedics described how the victim was laying in a foetal position near the sofa and "groaning in pain".
The prosecutor said 36-year-old Jones remained outside on the street and when police arrived he approached an officer and said: "It's me you want officer. I've battered him because he is a nonce."
Jones was cautioned and arrested and told police he was "trained boxer" and was "going to jail for murder".
Forensic experts concluded Mr Reubins had been subjected to "multiple strikes" to the head and repeated kicks or stamps to the chest and abdomen which had left him with life-threatening injuries.
The prosecutor said he had suffered "serious injuries which required a great deal of intervention from medics" and was left with severe cognitive impairment and traumatic epilepsy. He has severe weakness in the right side of his body, cannot communicate, and has to be fed through a tube.
In a victim impact statement Mr Reubins' father Daniel said his son was now "unable to talk, walk, or feed himself" and was facing further surgery.
He said his son – who had worked as a carer prior to the assault and also did turns as a stand-up comedian and hosted his own radio show – doesn't know what is going on and "if I handed him a toothbrush he wouldn't know what to do with it".
He said he was hoping his son could stay with him when he is discharged from the specialist unit in Stoke where he is being cared for.
In her statement Mr Reubins' mother Kim said her son had been a "fit and healthy" father-of-three and very close to the man who had attacked him. She said the men had referred to themselves as "brothers from another mother" and one day she would have the difficult task of explaining to her son what his best friend had done to him.
Jones, of Bangor Street, Y Felinheli, Caernarfon, admitted inflicting grievous bodily harm with intent.
The court heard he has 23 previous convictions for 38 offences including affray, possession of Class A drugs with intent to supply, possession of offensive weapons and knives, assaulting a police officer, battery, and multiple counts of harmassment.
Richard Edwards, for Jones, said the defendant was genuinely remorseful for what he had done.
He said his client was "still at a loss to explain the events of that evening" and that he had described Mr Reubins as his best friend.
He said Jones was aware Mr Reubins had been charged with sexual offences but had stood by his friend and on the night in question had gone to his house to help set up some electrical items.
The barrister said the defendant had a "troubled upbringing" which had seen him turn to drink and drugs and that "alcohol combined with the clear psychiatric issues that have been part of his life for some time" would likely have played a part in his actions.
Judge Timothy Petts described the assault on Mr Reubins as a "sustained, hideous, and savage attack" which must have come close to killing him.
He said there was a pattern of "abusive and aggressive behaviour" in the defendant's past and noted he has a "propensity to behave recklessly and take risks".
The judge said he was not satisfied a standard sentence would be adequate to protect the public and made Jones subject to an extended sentence of 16 years and three months comprising 12 years and nine months in custody and an extended licence period of three years and six months. Jones can apply for release once he has served two-thirds of the custodial element of the sentence but he will only be released at that time of the authorities consider he is no longer a significant risk.
He was also made the subject of a restraining order banning him from contacting his victim.


The Premier League clubs refuse Argentina’s request before the World Cup. Argentina’s World Cup campaign will begin on November 22 with a match against Saudi Arabia. Before that, they will play a friendly match against the United Arab Emirates on November 16. Argentina’s players will have to leave the club early to play the last warm-up match before the World Cup. But doubts have arisen whether he can leave the club for the country.
This year’s World Cup is going to be held during the European football season. According to FIFA’s agreement with UEFA, clubs can retain players until November 14. However, to play a match against the United Arab Emirates, Argentina needs footballers earlier. For this, the Argentine Football Association (AFA) has requested a Premier League club to release the player between November 12-13. The UK’s Daily Mail reported that the club had rejected the AFA’s request.
Neither the club nor the player’s name has been released. Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni has announced a 49-man initial squad for the World Cup in Qatar, with 8 players playing in the Premier League. Among them are Lisandro Martinez and Alejandro Garancho at Manchester United, Emiliano Martinez and Emiliano Buendia at Aston Villa, Christian Romero at Tottenham, Alexis McAllister at Brighton, Julian Alvarez at Manchester City, and Marcos Senesi at Bournemouth.

Premier League clubs refuse Argentina’s request but PSG coach Christophe Galtier releases Messi
Lionel Messi has asked PSG coach Christophe Galtier to withdraw from the team starting next weekend. Messi will be available for Argentina starting November 7. He has a priority clause in his contract.
Of the eight, not all of them are sure to go to Qatar. Argentina’s final team will be reduced to 26 on November 13. The Daily Mail reported that the club, which rejected the AFA’s request, had also informed the rest of the Premier League. No club has decided not to release Argentine footballers before November 14.
Like the Premier League, the Argentine FA has also started contacting La Liga clubs. Responding to their request, Villarreal agreed to release Lo Celso. However, the midfielder who came on loan from Tottenham is now injured, and there are doubts about his recovery before the World Cup.
Atlético Madrid and Sevilla have the most Argentinian players in La Liga. However, the club having a bad time in La Liga is more likely to not let go of the two players. An Atletico source told the Mail that the request from the AFA would not be accepted.

Grammar Land: Or Grammar In Fun for the Children of Schoolroom-Shire, by M. L. Nesbitt (PDF ebook) –
Now with AUDIOBOOK version too!
In this classic read aloud book, author Nesbitt creates an amazing fantasy land not unlike “Alice In Wonderland”, where the citizens are the nine parts of speech, and all are governed by the stern but wise old Judge Grammar. It’s a fun, fascinating way to learn some of the basic grammar rules all the while carried along by the very memorable characters and a wild adventure to boot.
Judge Grammar is far mightier than any Fairy Queen, for he rules over real kings and queens down here in Matter-of-fact-land. Our kings and queens have all to obey Judge Grammar’s laws, or else they would talk what is called bad grammar; and then, even their own subjects would laugh at them, and would say: “Poor things!
They are funny fellows, these nine Parts-of-Speech. You will find out by-and-by which you like best amongst them all. There is rich Mr. Noun, and his useful friend Pronoun; little ragged Article, and talkative Adjective; busy Dr. Verb, and Adverb; perky Preposition, convenient Conjunction, and that tiresome Interjection, the oddest of them all.
Here’s what one of our readers recently posted about this book:
I had downloaded this book and completely forgot about it until 2 days ago. I started reading it aloud to my boys and they were completely into it. My boys are very wiggly and they usually have to have something in their hands to occupy their physical while their mental is focused on what I am reading. They were completely still…following along on the computer screen. It was one of those awesome moments that I wouldn’t trade for anything in the world. Thank you for finding and sharing something that is so fun and educational at the same time. What a fun way to learn parts of speech. I’ve a feeling this story will stick with them for a while. The resources you list through the week are wonderful.

The short-beaked common dolphins are known by their scientific name as Delphinus delphis. Their taxonomic classifications are the kingdom Animalia, phylum Chordata, class Mammalia, order Cetacea, family Delphinidae, genus Delphinus, and species Delphis.
This particular breed of common dolphins are found in multiple regions of the world. They are spread out across many oceans and can be found off the U.S. west coast, east coast, South African coast, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Southern Pacific. (Westgate,88) Fin and flipper locomotion is the main mode of swimming locomotion in the common dolphins.
The physical characteristics in the average adult common dolphin ranges between 6.2-8.2 ft long and can weigh up to 176-518 lbs. The population of the species is extremely abundant in numbers and widely spread out across the globe. Their skin color is grey. The food chain of the common dolphins largely consists of fish and cephalopods. Fish make up 90% of their diet by numbers (N) and 53% by mass (M) whereas cephalopods account for 9%N and 46%M. (Pusineri, Maginin, Meynier, Spitz, Hassani, Ridoux)
The common dolphins often travel in groups. Their feeding behaviors show that they often form a feeding swarm. These feeding swarms range from 30 to 120 dolphins and are classified by the size of the group (Gallo Reynoso, 254-55). As dolphins search for large schools of fish, they travel at high speeds and jump out of the water at high heights. When the school is spotted, the swarm of dolphins slow down and form a U shape. The formation is utilized to call for larger groups to close in and surround the fish through ultrasonic sounds emitted for echolocation (Gallo Reynoso, 256-57).
When it comes to mating, the male common dolphins interacts competitively with other males and searches for receptive females. When they find a mate, the males spend very little time with their mates because they seek a partner for the sole purpose of mating. Sometimes, the male defends the female by themselves or with a large group of males. The female common dolphins often mate with more than one male. (Murphy, Collet, Rogan, 86)
Short-beaked Common Dolphin Animation
The short-beaked common dolphins love to play in nearly every ocean on the planet. They love to jump out of the water and perform backflips both in and out of the water. They often put on their shows under the surface in front of large groups of fish in the hopes of lurring their prey. However, for the people living on the surface, they only do their tricks from far distances. They know all too well what would happen if they got too close to land.

MEDIA COURTHOUSE >> Deliberations began Thursday in the trial of a Maryland man for his alleged role in a Chester domestic dispute turned deadly.
Rashad Daries Mosley, 30, of Baltimore, is charged with burglary, aggravated assault, weapons charges and conspiracy for a Dec. 10, 2016, altercation in a home on the 800 block of Upland Street that resulted in the shooting death of 32-year-old Eric Chappell.
The case is being tried before Delaware County Common Pleas Court Judge Barry C. Dozor.
The jury heard from the shooter Wednesday, Brian Hammond, who testified that Chappell entered the house and began fighting with his fiancé’s brother, Ahad Smith.
During the course of the fight, Hammond said Mosley handed Chappell a gun. At one point, Chappell allegedly pushed Hammond into a bathroom off of a hallway, then continued to pursue Smith into a kitchen in the back of the house.
“I’m coming out of the bathroom, I yell, ‘Stop!’” said Hammond. “I see (Chappell), he’s coming around toward where Ahad is in the kitchen, raising his arm up.”
That was when Hammond said he drew his own 9 mm Smith and Wesson handgun, firing four shots at Chappell. Hammond is licensed to carry a concealed weapon and the shooting was later determined to be justified.
Smith told Assistant District Attorney Matt DeNucci that he did not see Chappell come around the corner of the hallway into the kitchen, but did see the gun raising up and Chappell’s arm moments before he was shot. Smith said he grabbed the gun from Chappell and ran out the back door.
“I didn’t know if he was going to get back up, I didn’t know if he was dead, none of that, so I grabbed the gun and I just left out the back door,” he said.
Defense attorney Stephen Sacks noted that Smith told police in a subsequent interview that he believed Chappell was already dead at that point, however.
Hammond could be heard on a 911 call yelling for Smith to bring the gun back. Smith said he did return the gun and wiped his prints off it before placing it near Chappell.
Chester Detective Victor Heness said he had not heard that Smith wiped the gun until his testimony.
Heness said he was able to track a running car with Maryland plates that had been left outside the residence to a woman in Baltimore who told investigators she loaned the car to Mosely and Chappell.
Heness said DNA testing was performed on certain items left in the car, but Mosley could not by identified as a contributor.
Jurors also heard from Smith’s sister and Hammond’s fiancé, Brittani Smith. All three said they witnessed Mosley pass Chappell the gun during the fight and positively identified him in photo arrays.
Brittani Smith said she took her children upstairs and called 911 when the gun appeared, but did not return to the back of the house after the shooting. Smith said he later spoke with her on the phone and joined her at Chester Police Headquarters to give a statement.
Chappell is the brother of Smith’s child’s mother. He admitted their relationship had been troubled in the period leading up to Chappell’s death and that she had taken out a protection from abuse order on him.
Though Hammond claimed Chappell had cocked the gun and pointed it at Smith after receiving it from Mosley, Smith said Chappell never pointed the gun at him. Smith said Chappell did strike him in the head with the gun twice as he was pinned to a couch.
County Detective Louis Grandizio also testified that four cartridge casings at the scene and two bullets recovered from Chappell matched Hammond’s 9 mm Smith and Wesson pistol. There was no evidence that the other weapon, a Taurus .40 caliber, had been shot, said Grandizio.

Synopses & Reviews
Jess has a secret: a mysterious glass flask she finds in an heirloom desk's hidden compartment. Its surface swirls with iridescent colors, like something's inside, something almost like a song, something with a soul. No one else sees anything under the shifting glass, but Jess is convinced there must be some kind of magic in there. And when her twin brothers are born critically ill, Jess begins to believe that the force within the flask just might hold the key to saving her brothers—and her family. In this emotionally rich novel, award-winning author Nicky Singer crafts a world of possibility steeped in hope and the power of love.
"Life's fragile nature is the underlying theme of Singer's contemplative novel about Jess, published in the U.K. in 2011 as The Flask. Jess is struggling with the recent death of her beloved great-aunt and the birth of her conjoined twin brothers, who may not survive the operation necessary for their separation. When she finds an 18th-century glass flask in which she sees a pulsating, color-changing substance, she begins to believe that the mysterious substance's movements and fluctuations are intrinsically bound with the twins' fate. As the babies' condition dips and rises over several emotionally tumultuous weeks, Jess considers frightening questions about spirituality and magic, while also facing turbulence in a lifelong friendship, the tensions of an uncomfortable relationship with her grandmother, and the discovery of a secret tragedy in her late great-aunt's life. Jess's passion for music is a foundation upon which Singer (Gem X) builds Buddhist precepts, scientific concepts, and even stepparent issues. The story flirts with fantasy, but leaves it to readers to decide if the magic of the flask is real. Ages 12 up." Publishers Weekly Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.

A novel observation has led researchers to allow the possibility that the Novel Coronavirus may become a new seasonal illness like the flu and other respiratory infections. This is because of the medical trends observed in the Southern Hemisphere, where COVID-19 has been on the rise as countries like Australia are nearing cold weather. In the Southern Hemisphere, winter typically begins at around the end of June, and the temperatures have already started to drop.
If this is indeed the case, we should also start observing a decline in new Coronavirus cases towards the end of spring. Unfortunately, this also means that the virus may return to the Northern Hemisphere once again next winter. What does this mean for the people and the healthcare system in the short and long term? We discuss this in detail below.
How Could the Coronavirus Become Seasonal?
More and more independent researchers are considering that the virus causing COVID-19 may ultimately become seasonal. Dr. William Schaffner, an expert in infectious diseases, revealed the following in a statement to Healthline, “We think this coronavirus will likely become more prominent during winter in the Southern Hemisphere… and cycle back to the Northern Hemisphere in the next winter season. We’ll be dealing then with influenza, other respiratory viruses, and the coronavirus.”
The question is: Is this even possible? Could a new virus just show up and become a new seasonal burden we have to fight? The answer is, tragically, ‘yes’, and historians believe this has happened before with a more familiar virus - influenza. The first recordings of the flu date back to 1580.
Compared to other infectious diseases like syphilis, tuberculosis, and malaria, which have all been found in Ancient Egyptian mummies and date back millennia, the four centuries influenza has been around are nothing. The first cases of the influenza virus have been recorded in Asia, and the outbreak spread all across Europe, North Africa, and even the Americas at this time. Although we don’t know the exact number of casualties, this first influenza virus reportedly killed 8,000 people in Rome alone.
As the virus spread, it became a seasonal recurrence and a bane that we still have to fight every winter, with the virus constantly evolving. Some years, it is mild, and in others, it’s particularly devastating, like it was with the Spanish Flu in 1918 or the H1N1 outbreak of 2009. Thus, it is certainly possible that the Novel Coronavirus may become the new, worse version of the flu existing alongside it.
If the Coronavirus Becomes Seasonal, What Shall We Do?
Should the Novel Coronavirus turn into a new seasonal infection, we all have to be prepared this time. One of the first and foremost goals of the healthcare systems in the Northern Hemisphere is the development of a vaccine and other treatments for the virus, both of which are already in development in several labs across the globe. Ideally, we would have a vaccine for the next seasonal outbreak, which would be capable of reducing the severity and spread of SARS-CoV-2.
This will only work, though, if the virus doesn’t start mutating rapidly, and the strains prominent the next season will not be too different. Mutation is one of the major concerns right now, as the Novel Coronavirus is an RNA virus, which means that it doesn’t have DNA, and is, hence, less stable and could mutate more quickly much like the flu - another RNA virus. The good news is that, so far, researchers haven’t observed particularly rapid mutations of the virus, with 800 different strains of SARS-CoV-2 being sequenced across the globe.
One positive aspect of the possible seasonality of the virus is that many countries would then have time to recuperate and recover from the virus during the warm months. If that is the case, the number of new cases should start dropping in the Northern Hemisphere shortly. Unfortunately, researchers aren’t sure how long this break will last.
What About the Southern Hemisphere?
Researchers say that the Southern Hemisphere should prepare for the worst as it gets closer to winter. Luckily, since these countries will be affected much later than Asia, Europe, and North America, they will have a lot more information about the virus and ways to contain it than those in the Northern Hemisphere. Taking advantage of this abundance of information available both for medical professionals, governmental structures and the public is key.
In Australia, we are already observing a tightening of mass gathering laws and a countrywide stay home order, though people are still allowed to go to work. No public gatherings of more than two people are allowed since the end of March, which seems to have curbed the number of new cases compared to a rapid increase that was observed in mid and late March already (see chart below).
According to Worldometer, there are currently 5,895 recorded Coronavirus cases in Australia, of which there are 46 fatalities (approximately 2% of patients).
If you live in the Southern Hemisphere, you should start engaging in practices that are known to work, such as social distancing. It's also crucial to abide by personal hygiene and cleaning rules, such as the disinfection of surfaces in your home, vehicle, smartphone, and hand washing.
Another important thing you can do is get your flu shot early this year, since reducing your chance of getting the flu, or getting both the flu and COVID-19, is crucial for your health and the workload of medical facilities in your area.
Time will tell whether or not the predictions are true and SARS-Cov-2 will indeed become a new seasonal respiratory infection, but meanwhile, we would like to urge you to exercise caution and abide by local medical regulations regarding the virus, no matter where you live.

While Argentina’s national coach Maradona has assured Gutierrez he will be involved at South Africa 2010, he would still like Gutierrez to move to a big club in Europe, and not have to play second division football with Newcastle.
Gutierriez – will he try to move in January?
Maradona is fresh from his emotional victory at Montevideo on Wednesday evening, as Argentina finally qualified for the World Cup Finals next year in South Africa by finishing 4th top of the South American group, as they beat Uruguay 1-0 for their first win in Montevideo in 30 years.
Maradona said yesterday:
“For me, Jonas was a big discovery,” “Since he left (Argentina) for Europe, he has much improved.”
“The kid is a complete player who could play right across the line in midfield or in defense.” “I still don’t understand why he is playing in the second division in England, because he has the quality to be at a big European club.”
“For me, he easily has sufficient class to be in Premier League, and the fact Newcastle United did not have to sell him during the summer just gone is a negative for him.”
“However, it is positive for his club if they want to return to the top division in England.”
Like any national coach Maradona would like his players to be playing top-class football for their clubs, and whether we like it or not Newcastle playing Scunthorpe, Plymouth and Doncaster is not top-class class football – let’s be honest. And it’s even worse if Newcastle lose to those second-class teams.
A winning Newcastle United side, who are at the top of the Championship table would help the perception of Maradona about the Newcastle side this season.
But any more displays and results like yesterday’s may well see Maradona openly trying to get both Coloccini and Gutierrez to seek new clubs come January.

During his campaign in 2016, Donald Trump made a promise to the American public. He took the pledge to forego his annual salary and donate it to a different governmental agency every quarter. This pledge has been used by his press secretaries time and again to boost his public image. Only this time, his press secretary might’ve made a mistake.
In the past, he has donated his salary to the Small Business Administration initiative for veteran entrepreneurs, the Office of the Surgeon General for the opioid epidemic, the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, etc.
Let’s find out which agency he chose this year, and what mistake his press secretary made.
Know More – Facebook Makes Work-From-Home Permanent Option
WHICH AGENCY DID DONALD TRUMP DONATE HIS SALARY TO?
In order to “support the efforts being undertaken to confront, contain and combat the coronavirus,” Donald Trump donated a quarter his annual salary to the Department of Health and Human Services.
However, the White House press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany accidentally disclosed Trump’s private banking information while announcing this.
She held up a $100,000 check like a prop to show the reporters that Trump had donated his salary. An administration official told the New York Times mock cheques were never used in the briefing.
The real Capital One cheque that she used displayed the president’s private bank account and routing numbers.
Such sensitive information being leaked puts the bank account at risk of hacking. It can also be used by others, to withdraw or deposit money, or to make online purchases.
Eva Velasquez, the president and chief executive of the Identity Theft Resource Center, said –
“If you don’t have protections in place, there are sophisticated schemes and ways someone could access those funds knowing the account and routing number and the individual person it belongs to.”
Velasquez added –
“It’s not a best practice to share that information publicly.”
Large promotional cheques are often used in TV shows. Mike Chapple, a professor at the University of Notre Dame, explained why that’s a better option.
“They’re not only a nice prop onstage, but they also omit the sensitive account information that normally appears at the bottom.”
He added –
“The rest of us should play it safe and keep our account numbers to ourselves.”

SAN CARLOS, Calif., Feb. 10, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Alkahest, Inc., a clinical stage biotechnology company focused on discovering and developing transformative therapies to treat age-related diseases, today announced the initiation of a phase 2b clinical trial of its orally administered small molecule CCR3 inhibitor, AKST4290. The company has dosed the first subject in AKST4290-205 (PHTHALO), which will assess the effects of AKST4290 on visual acuity with loading doses of anti-VEGF in treatment-naïve neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) patients.
“The initiation of this randomized phase 2b trial represents an important milestone for our clinical development program in age-related macular degeneration. While the current standard of care for neovascular AMD is effective, the high burden of therapy leads to significant undertreatment and sub-optimal outcomes,” said Karoly Nikolich, Ph.D., chief executive officer of Alkahest. “If safe and effective, adding a convenient oral agent to the treatment options for neovascular AMD would address a significant unmet patient and medical need.”
AKST4290-205 (PHTHALO) is a multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled dose-ranging trial designed to evaluate the efficacy of AKST4290 in treatment-naïve neovascular AMD patients after three loading doses of anti-VEGF (aflibercept) therapy. Subjects will be randomized 1:1:1 to receive AKST4290 400 mg twice daily, AKST4290 800 mg twice daily, or placebo. The primary endpoint of the study is mean change in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), per the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study criteria. Key secondary endpoints include safety, time to PRN injection with anti-VEGF per defined criteria in the AKST4290 arms only, mean number of anti-VEGF injections, and the proportion of subjects with a BCVA change of ≥ 15 letters. Alkahest intends to enroll approximately 150 patients across 25 sites in multiple countries.
AKST4290 is an orally administered CCR3 inhibitor that blocks the action of eotaxin, an immunomodulatory protein that increases as humans age and with specific age-related diseases. By targeting eotaxin and its downstream effects, AKST4290 may reduce the hallmark inflammation and neovascularization of AMD while also acting more broadly to reduce inflammation associated with many other age-related diseases. The molecule is currently being tested in Parkinson’s Disease with additional indications being explored.
Alkahest is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to discovering and developing treatments for neurodegenerative and age-related diseases with transformative therapies targeting the aging plasma proteome. The Alkahest pipeline includes multiple therapeutic candidates ranging from selected plasma fractions to protein-targeted interventions which aim to slow the detrimental biological processes of aging. Alkahest is developing novel plasma-based therapies in collaboration with Grifols, a global healthcare company and leading producer of plasma therapies.

AFTER 45 changes to its original prospectus, music streaming company Guvera is now eyeing the home stretch for listing on the ASX.
Guvera issued a replacement prospectus yesterday following corporate regulator ASIC on June 9 extending the exposure period of the Gold Coast company's IPO.
This prevented investors from buying shares in Guvera for a further week.
Guvera lodged its original prospectus in early June, stating plans to raise up to $100 million through an IPO and list on the ASX on July 14. The company said it would need a minimum of $40 million to float on the ASX and safeguard its viability going forward.
The replacement prospectus lodged yesterday says Guvera will need a minimum of $50 million to float, with its IPO still accepting oversubscriptions for a further 20 million shares.
The closing date for investors has been extended to July 15 and Guvera is expected to commence trading on July 25.
Shares in Guvera will be issued at $1 each, as originally proposed.
Controversy has surrounded the Gold Coast music streaming company for weeks, the Australian startup and investor community primarily looking into Guvera's $1.3 billion valuation.
The company made a loss of $55.7 million for the first half of FY17, but Guvera CEO Darren Herft (pictured) believes it's 'impossible to do it any other way' for the time being.
Guvera will still require additional funds within approximately seven to nine months after completing its offer.
Herft says Guvera must spend around $50 million to legally acquire licensing rights from music labels - which he says competitors like Pandora bypass through 'grey area' publishing bodies - before it can even have any revenue.
Responding to criticism, Herft strikes a comparison between Guvera and Facebook.
"We went back and studied the Facebook IPO and there is a real similarity to what the press is writing about Guvera and Facebook IPO," says Herft.
"Hammering its value, strategy, ad-fund model - 'the company only has $1 billion revenue but worth $100 billion' - not proven, too early to list. Mark Zuckerberg got caned as well.
"Four years later, Facebook just did $6 billion revenue in 13 weeks and 82 per cent on mobile advertising. That's Guvera's business model. Facebook will do $25 to $30 billion in revenue this year, double the music industry's revenue, all driven by mobile advertising.
"We've built our business to be a mass market player and believe we can create billion-dollar revenues for the music industry based on the model we have created.
"We don't need help with that, we can do it ourselves - we just need the market to be a little more understanding about the business we're actually running."
Herft's firm AMMA Private Equity is underwriting $10 million of the IPO, conditional on Guvera raising $40 million. Originally this was conditional on Guvera raising $30 million.
The costs associated with the offer have also risen to now sit in the range of $7.6 to $11.5 million, as opposed to $6.6 to $11.3 million.
Melbourne-based D H Flinders Corporate Advisory is acting as the lead manager to Guvera for the IPO.

Young workers need to be prepared to start at the bottom
ONE in four young Australians believes there won't be sufficient employment and training opportunities in their local community when they finish school.
Only half believe they will find work in their chosen field without having to relocate, and males are almost three times more likely than females to not complete secondary school.
It's something of a bleak picture, one that's built on the findings of Mission Australia's 2013 Youth Survey, the organisation's 12th national survey of almost 15,000 young people aged 15-19.
The 2013 survey included a particular focus on young people's views about employment.
Mission Australia chief executive Toby Hall said the concerns raised by young people demonstrated the need to do more to assist Australian youth in the transition from school to the workforce or higher education.
"The high level of concern among Australian youth about the economy, job availability and employment opportunities underscores the need for significant policy reform," Mr Hall said.
"Youth unemployment across the country is now three times greater than the average unemployment rate, and in some particularly disadvantaged areas it's approaching 40%.
"We know that youth unemployment is the 'canary in the coal mine' for Australia's future well-being and productivity."
Mr Hall said contractions in the job market and general economic uncertainty put casual, entry-level jobs - those typically filled by young people - at huge risk.
"This year's survey results show that our next generation of workers is all too aware of this rapidly growing problem, and very few young people believe they will be immune to the consequences when they finish their secondary or tertiary education."
You need to be prepared to start at the absolute bottom, work the worst hours, earn minimum wage and work jobs that you don't really enjoy. That too is reality.
Invest in yourself through training and education, accept that a bit of discomfort will help you grow professionally, and remember that all the skill and talent in the world is not a replacement for good, old-fashioned hard work.

It has been stated many times that we're not about to feature every single metal band that has ever existed. Usually we only add already accomplished bands with at least one full-length release. Still, many bands escape our attention, so it's up to you to tell us which of them are the most worthy of being featured on Metal Storm.
Bands listed here are suggested for addition by our users. You can vote for these bands as well as provide additional comments - both of which will be taken into account when we look for the next band to feature on Metal Storm. If the band is not in the list, you can suggest it here (you need to be a registered member).
Make sure you also check the Blacklisted bands - these are the bands we're not going to add at all, since we feel they won't be appropriate for this website. Yes, some non-metal bands are already featured here, but that's not the reason to add a lot more - so we don't accept arguments like "hey, this band is way more metal than band X you have featured!".

In the Autumn of 2008, CHAOS IN PARADISE started taking their first steps in a small garage in Oporto suburbs, where Alex and Quik began to outline the identity of the band.
After a few days, they started searching for other musicians to complete CHAOS IN PARADISE and after a while they found Pedro for guitar, 19 for bass and Sara for the vocal parts.
With the band as a whole, the quintet began writing their first Demo which came out in February 2010, including the songs "Dawn", "Heading North", "The Meaning of Being Imposed" and "Antagonized".
The band recorded the Demo at their own studio and released and distributed the four songs online for free!
After, CHAOS IN PARADISE began their live shows through Portugal, to promote their work and also to obtain experience as a band.
In the beginning of 2011, the band returned to the rehearsal room to start writing their following work, trying a new aproach to improve their sound, bringing their own identity to it and making it more coherent.
With the pre-production on the bagage, the recording sessions of the EP started in March 2011 at Soundvision Studios in Vila do Conde with Paulo Lopes in the co-production.
From the EP entitled "Let the Bliss Remain" the band released their first single "Awareness" to the fans and press, aquiring unanimous opinions expressing that their evolution and sound quality had a huge improvement.
With the "Let the Bliss Remain" presentation and release in June 2011, CHAOS IN PARADISE came back to the road to promote their EP in Portugal, having already some International shows in mind.
At the moment, they're planning to edit their first album in 2012.

Wouldn't call them djent but yeah interesting stuff.

This is much more Jazz Fusion than Djent but it's awesome nonetheless. That connotation is there just because Tosin and Javier are part of the band, in my opinion. Good addition to the site anyways. +1

Insense deserves to be on Metal Storm because they are not much known outside of norway. Insense is a fantastic bands and should be heard by so many others than just norwegians that are interested in that kind of music.

It has been a while since being really blown away from a new discovery.
ProFusion is a bit hard to categorize, combining Progressive Metal riffs, Eclectic stuff a la Beardfish, and catchiness like, well... It just gets stuck in your mind and won't go away.
I've yet to have listened to their first album, but their second one (Rewotower) has really blown me away.
The first song of the album (Ghost House) is available on their Reverbnation page.

It's kinda rare to see a band with old influences nowadays. And, to be honest, I think that what they say about rock'n'roll is true:

"OMELA - one of the most impressive groups… that concerns record culture, technique of playing and the level of musical thinking… " (Magazine "IN ROCK", 2009)
The musical style of OMELA blends a classical sound with doom riffs and progressive folk themes. Their musical arrangements feature versatile guitars and trumpet, sax and harp. This is charming, hypnotic music with hanging melodies, strong and unforgettable vocals. The music and poetry is written by Sergey Abramov - leader of the group and you will see they are influenced by such groups as Pink Floyd, Anathema, Empyrium, etc.
Now, Omela has 2 studio albums - "Viscum Album" (2009) and "Aura" (2011).
In my opinion, OMELA is one of the most interesting young (it was formed in 2007) metal groups in Russia. And I think, that people, who get to know with OMELA, will necessarily get much pleasure by listening this music...

Fading Bliss was born in November 2009 when Olivier (ex-Dewback / guitar) decided to start a new band with Doom/Gothic influences. After talking with some friends, the line up was quickly completed by Florian (Innerfire / keys) and Dahl (Innerfire / growls). Then, by word of mouth and through the Internet, Mel (vocals), Michel (drums), Arnaud (Alibido/ bass) and Nicu (2nd guitar) joined the band. Rehearsals started right after a 1st meeting on November 11th 2009.
Firstly, the band rehearsed covers from Tiamat, Paradise Lost and Katatonia ... and, as it was already united, the 1sts songs were composed. Those were inspired from 90's Gothic/Doom bands (Paradise Lost, Tiamat, My Dying Bride, Moonspell, Anathema, Katatonia, Amorphis, Septic Flesh) but also from nowadays ones (Shape of Despair, Swallow the Sun, Sentenced, Draconian, Therein ...). In the beginning of 2010, Nicu left as he didn't have enough time to get involved in the band.
At the end of the summer 2010, the band recorded its 1st 4 title EP at the Noise Factory studio with Gerald. This EP was released in October and the 1st official photoshoot took place as well.

It is a damn awesome band, and they have just put out the new record. And it is very good metal :) One thing that probably makes this album interesting for the fans of Helloween (and Gamma Ray) is the fact that "the old fox" Kai Hansen is featured as a guest musician on 4 tracks. :) Kai sung some lead vocals on tracks At Daggers Drawn and Steel Redeemer + played guitar solos on Terrordome and Star Odyssey.

Peshmerga is a Death metal group from Chicago featuring ex members of Putrid Pile, Gorgasm, Earthen, Crematorium, Disinter, etc. They have a full length entitled "Murderous Acts of Cruelty" which was released last year and is a great addition to the genre, and I suggest this band be put on Metal Storm for all to hear and learn more about.

Apparition formed in 1997 by bassist David Homer and drummer Paul Collins. Both musicians were part of UK death metal band Asphyxiator who's album 'Trapped Between Two Worlds' was released earlier on in the same year. David Had written a melodic song called 'The Pain Lives On' which was different to Asphyxiator's usual brutal metal style. He formed a side project to record the song and he called this Apparition. David got Paul to drum on the song and to make things sound really different he asked a local club singer called Rebecca Tibbett to sing the song little knowing in time female fronted metal would become very popular. On New Years Eve 2003 David read an advert on a music shop notice board by a singer/keyboard player called Jen Lowe. She was looking for a similar sounding band and after a couple of meetings decided to work together and take Apparition further than it had before by becoming a full time band instead of just a studio project. David, Paul and Jen started writing songs together and it wasn't too long before guitarist Richard Knight and vocalist Annabelle Harris joined them. Together they wrote and recorded an album called 'Drowned in Questions' and in 2006 had it released through Casket music. In Late 2006 both Annabelle and Jen left Apparition to concentrate on their university courses. They were replaced by Ian Bentley on keyboards and Vocalist Fiona Creaby. After the new band members had learnt the songs on the set list, Apparition started playing shows again and wrote new songs, recording them at Rhythm studios in England with Paul Johnston who has worked with bands such as Napalm Death, Vader, Benediction and Tony Iommi. In 2007 Apparition put on a mini music festival featuring female fronted metal bands from around the UK called the Dames of darkness Festival. This was repeated in 2008 and all money raised went to the 'Breast Cancer Care' charity. In 2008 the songs 'Salvation', 'The Dream Where I Cannot Go' and 'The Path to Eternity' were completed along with a promo video for the song 'Salvation'. The video tells the story of a soldier going of to war leaving his wife behind. This video can be seen on this page. In 2009 Fiona, Paul and Rich left Apparition to be replaced by Vocalist Samantha Smallwood. Drummer Rob Swinnerton and Guitarist John Yates. In October 2009 Apparition supported ex Nightwish singer Tarja Turunen in London. The following month they took part, as well as co-organising 'Femme Metal Festival which also featured Delain and Sirenia.This was to be Ian and Samantha's last show. Ian had moved away from the area Apparition lived in and was finding it difficult and expensive to carry on being part of the band. Samantha, who is studying musical theatre at University as well as working a hectic weekend job, decided it was all too much for her. Sam loved being in the band but she had to think about her future career first. In the summer of 2010, Jennian King (vocals) and Francis Ezikwa (keyboards/piano) were the latest band members to join Dave, John and Rob in Appariiton. Jennian's position was temporary , agreeing to help out until a permanent vocalist was found. Before Jennian left she recorded a cover of the song 'Harvest' by 'Opeth' which is in our music player. The band members of 'Opeth' who composed and recorded the original song are Mikeal Akerfeldt, Peter Lindgren, Martin Lopez and Martin Mendez and it is from their ''Blackwater Park'' album. All songwriting credit goes to them.

Naturally, the eleven scars of the album title can only be applied to My Inner Burning's band history to a certain extent, since the five musicians (Becky Gaber, vocals; Torsten Sauerbrey, guitar; Jörg Janssen, guitar & shouts; Daniel Pietrzak, bass; and Niklas Kahl, drums) from Germany's Lower Saxony region haven't fought that many battles in their budding career.
Yet listening to their powerful metal, you can be certain that they have lots of triumphant victories ahead of them. My Inner Burning have the determination it takes, and they're ready to present their second album, Eleven Scars (German release date: 25 March 2011, Europe: 27 March 2011) - a surprisingly mature offering which highlights an impressive development compared to their already exciting 2009 debut. "Eleven Scars sounds groovier and a little darker than My Inner Burning," guitarist Torsten Sauerbrey explains. The reason? "Probably the many concerts we've played since, and the stronger influence of our vocalist Becky, who penned the occasionally rather sinister lyrics."
The group's musical direction shuns all clichés and half-baked trends. My Inner Burning consciously steer clear of that tried and tested 'faster - harder - louder' dictum, preferring to impress their audience with multi-faceted songs, deep-tuned guitars and great melodies which come across powerful and gentle at the same time. "We play unmistakable metal," says Sauerbrey, "but we like to include gothic, rock and pop music elements." Their listeners realise after a few bars that this dynamic sonic experience centres mainly on Becky Gaber.
The instruments are oriented to the vocalist, the songs owe their forcefulness to her voice. Eleven Scars sees Becky Gaber deliver eleven incisive stories - a clear reference to the album title - about broken friendship, unhappy love and other relationship dramas. "Eleven Scars is no concept album," says Sauerbrey, "but the record's lyrics definitely have a central theme." Which is one of the reasons why this album sounds extremely homogeneous.
The dynamic sound of Eleven Scars, which was recorded at the Metal Sound studio in Osterode/Harz and mixed by Sauerbrey, adds further to the excellent impression. The guitarist is generally one of the group's mainstays: he wrote the majority of the songs, and also took care of sound engineering and production. This extremely accomplished album is complemented by the excellent artwork courtesy of Hanover photographer Martin Huch, who has worked with stars such as the Scorpions, Heinz-Rudolf Kunze and BAP and created a particularly atmospheric cover motif which focuses on Becky Gaber. So top standards all the way for this band; the (probably not entirely unwanted) scars are bound to arrive in due course.

Born in 2000, SorrowStorm aimed to strengthen the worldwide unblack (Christian black metal) scene with limited initial success but strong determination, as funds to record and press albums were always low. Dysmorphic Records, the producer of this band, has made it a task to use sophisticated advertising, distribution, and promotion to make the best of the underground metal experience. Ogrus Storm (Phil Diez), began Sorrowstorm as a solo-project, and recorded the debut album "Caverns of Grief" at INSOMNIO studios in 2001, Republic of Panama. Torna a testi di canzoni

Floating Forman brothers to dock on the Vltava River
Part of the Prague - European City of Culture project is dedicated to the theme of Prague - City on the River. One of the most attractive events must be something called the Forman Brothers' Theatre Boat. It's due to dock in the centre of Prague on Wednesday this week, and will be full of magical tricks and surprises. For more here's Zuzana Smidova.
The ship used to be the biggest cargo boat of its time and could carry some 1,200 tonnes of coal, but now it will be hosting a marine fairy tale performed in an authentic river atmosphere right in the centre Prague. With all the alterations, which turned the boat into a floating stage seating almost 200 people, it can be also used at sea, but until the autumn it will be anchored on the Vltava River. The organisers are planning some 40 performances of a dramatisation of Alexander Grina's fairy tale Purple Sails. The boat should be cruising the river after the performance ends, certainly making it an event worth checking out.
The idea is the brainchild of the Forman brothers, Matej and Petr, twin sons of the famous Czech movie director Milos Forman. They say the fairy tale - Purple Sails - reminds them of their childhood, and so in a way it's a dream come true, as almost every little boy dreams about being a sailor. Preparations for the floating theatre meant they had to move for a couple of months to the docks at Stechovicka lagoon near Prague, which also served as a rehearsal venue. The whole crew has in fact two captains, one for sailing and another for the performances, and their co-operation is absolutely essential for the success of the performance. The rest of the crew are made up of members of two French theatre companies, Voliere Dromesco and Bretagne.
The theatre boat will cruise out of Prague just once this year - to Kolin on the Labe (Elbe) River, but should the project work out well, next year they might set sail on the high seas. Venice has already showed interest in the project, the Forman's brothers have France in mind too.
And for those who are not so confident at sea, or indeed on any kind of unstable surface: just like any other boat this one is also prepared for shipwreck. It is fully fitted with safety equipment, and as Matej Forman put it: a shipwreck would surely add even more adventure and reality to the play, but nothing like that is - of course - in the script.

Rangers 4, Penguins 3
John Mitchell and Brad Richards scored 90 seconds apart in New York's four-goal second period, and the Rangers held on to beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-3 on Tuesday night for their third consecutive win.
Ryan Callahan and Marian Gaborik both had a goal and assist in the period, and Richards added two assists as New York won its seventh straight at home and 10th in 12 games overall. The four goals in the period matched a season high, done three previous times - including twice in three games.
Henrik Lundqvist made 24 saves for his 10th win in 17 outings.
Sidney Crosby helped set up James Neal's first-period goal that gave Pittsburgh a 1-0 lead and assisted on Pascal Dupuis' goal that made it 4-3 early in the third.

A 20-year-old “genius” electronic engineer and his father are among the crew searching for the missing Malaysian flight MH370.
When Jay Larsen, the chief engineer on MH370 search vessel GO Phoenix, needed a new technician, his 20-year-old son Kolter sprang to mind.
“He’s an electrical engineer genius and we asked him to come along,” he said.
“He’s been a very solid member. I’m proud of him.
“I don’t know that we can understand the weight of what we’re doing honestly.
“We’ve all experienced losses close to us and we’re out here trying our hardest.”
Jay Larsen and his young son are among the crew of the GO Phoenix, which has spent weeks searching for missing flight MH370 in the southern Indian Ocean more than 2000km off the WA coast.
The ship is now in Fremantle harbor while the crew takes a break and the ship’s supplies and fuel are replenished.
Mr Larsen said his family knew what it was like have a loved one in an air accident because his father had been in a helicopter crash that claimed six lives, but not his father’s.
“Personally I’ve had an air accident in my family where we didn’t know the true answer,” he said.
“So we understand the gravity of this.”
Kolter Larson’s young age took the Malaysian Defence Minister Hishammuddin Hussein by surprise.
The minister joined the crew onboard the ship to thank them for their efforts so far.
He was shocked to see such a young face among the seasoned crew, but told the 20-year-old he was happy to see him and said the world was watching.
“I was very intimated, but it was a cool experience talking to such an important person,” Kolter said.

An American company is 3D printing solid-fuelled rockets from a portable factory concept, and the USAF is going to be testing it. What is a solid fuelled rocket? Why print them in a box?
Read on to find out.
In general terms, rockets and missiles can be divided into two types based on their fuel. These are solid fuelled rockets and liquid fuelled rockets.
Liquid fueled rockets need a lot of pumps and other turbomachinery in order to move the fuel from the tanks to the combustion chamber. They also require specialized, and often cryogenic handling equipment for filling on the ground. They are a nightmare to store also. On the plus side, you can throttle them, and switch them off and restart them over and over.
Solid fueled rockets on the other hand, are basically just big fireworks comprising a tube filled with a cured resin-like fuel mixed with an oxidizer. Once that solid rocket propellant is ignited, it just burns through the resin producing thrust until it burns out. It’s hard to switch off, and it’s also tricky to restart even if you do somehow switch it off.
And like fireworks, solid rocket motors are easy to store. This is why they are used for missiles.
But despite their relative simplicity, they are still super expensive due the the chemical mixing processes and curing times involved. One company in America is looking to change that with their 3D printed solid rocket fuels, and their rocket-factory-in-a-box concept, and researchers at the US Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) are keen to get playing with it.
X-Bow Systems Inc (pronounced “crossbow”) is an Albuquerque-based company, and they have been operational since 2016. They were operating in stealth mode until earlier this year, and it has been revealed that they have received funding from Lockheed Martin to develop their concept further..
The problem with missile and rocket factories is that they take ages to get operational. This is not what the USAF wants in order to be responsive.
They would prefer to have mini-factories available to deploy to potential hotspots, or indeed to launch satellites into space from a variety of locations at short notice, kind of like in an RTS videogame, spawning missiles on demand.
Comprising four 20-foot shipping containers, the factory-in-a-box (named currently as “Pathfinder-1”) consists of a control room, a manufacturing room, a storage room for the materials and also a power/air room for running everything.
The materials are printed and they cure in under 1 day and the system can currently produce hundreds of pounds of inert solid rocket fuel.
“The significance of this technology and what it could do to enable tactical responsive space access, increase the solid rocket motor industrial base resiliency and production capacity, shorten the design and production timelines and radically lower the cost for hypersonics, tactical missiles, missile defense and other commercial applications is now a significant step closer with this AFRL backed endeavor,” said Jason P. Hundley, CEO at X-Bow.
“We look forward to demonstrating its capabilities and further collaboration with AFRL Edwards in radically pushing the paradigm of solid rocket motor design development forward.”
It is stated that this production method could potentially reduce the cost of manufacturing solid rocket motors so they are 80-90% cheaper than current factory produced motors.

More than 225 guests came out on Aug. 9 to help Planned Parenthood of Orange and San Bernardino Counties raise more than $216,000 to further its reproductive health care mission at its summer fundraising event, “POPP: Protect Our Planned Parenthood.”
The event, held at a private location near the Irvine Spectrum, was spearheaded by co-chairs Afsaneh Alisobhani and Teddie Ray with assistance from a 50-member committee of Orange County leaders.
A portion of the funds raised at POPP are earmarked for reproductive education. One key element of education is de-stigmatizing birth control and sexually transmitted diseases prevention, starting with the condom, which was used as a lighthearted tabletop theme. Event co-chair Teddie Ray commented, “A condom should be viewed not as a reason for embarrassment but instead like a toothbrush or a tampon – part of smart, everyday self-care.” Research shows that condoms are effective to prevent both pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, she noted.
The event’s proceeds will directly benefit more than 100,000 patients who receive health care at the nine centers located in Orange and San Bernardino Counties. Preventive care services comprise 93% of the healthcare its clinics offer, including cancer screenings, breast health exams, annual well-woman check-ups, STD prevention and treatment, family planning, and sexual health education. All services are provided regardless of a patient’s personal circumstances or ability to pay.
The event did also not shy away from addressing Planned Parenthood’s role in providing abortion. An event committee member who is a medical doctor and a foster and adoptive parent shared her private reproductive story: At the 19th week of a long-awaited pregnancy, her obstetrician gave her devastating news that the fetus had a fatal chromosome disorder. There was no chance of delivering a live baby, and her life was at risk. She turned to Planned Parenthood for the termination procedure required to protect her life, because no hospital would perform it.
“Her story could be any of our stories,” co-chair Teddie Ray told the crowd. “It’s a reminder of how important Planned Parenthood’s work is to maintaining a full range of medical services in our region.”

~Esther Mitchell, 2014~
My jaw cracks,
From the weight of trying to force words up from my throat,
To regurgitate sounds you might find pleasing,
While inside, there’s only screaming.
I hear the pop and crackle in my ears,
The static of decades spent with a steady drone,
Echoing in the vaults of my skull,
Telling me I should think like you,
I should believe like you,
I should be like you.
My eyelids are weighted with lies,
Told me by a printed page,
That only reports what it’s told to speak,
Like a propaganda marionette,
Dancing the same tired jig.
In 1988, the news media gave exactly ten seconds of airtime,
And less even than that of print,
To an event that took dozens of lives,
Left hundreds more shattered,
Scattered like carrion on a field where steel birds rose and landed.
I know the horror of that day.
I sat less than one hundred yards from my very own Ground Zero,
Frozen in terror as my disbelieving eyes filled with fire,
My ears with the screaming, the cracking roar of ignited jet fuel.
I watched bodies, and parts of bodies,
Swept from the fields into the buffeting winds of an angel of death,
a child, witness to a horror US media would simply sweep under a rug,
while I still awake, screaming,
with visions and sounds burned into my brain that will not fade.
In 1991, the US media reported that we were “winning” our “war” in the Gulf.
There were few casualties listed for the UN Coalition, and fewer yet for the US military.
While I sat with breath frozen in my lungs, waiting for the words I dreaded most,
The loss of a friend, of a loved one,
And I thought the not knowing was agony,
But the knowing was worse, when reports came in of missiles falling,
And the names rolled off tongues, until I couldn’t hear anymore.
But we were “winning” the war, with acceptable losses.
How many losses are acceptable to you?
In 2001, Hell came to us.
The screaming filled ALL of our skies, and the anguish could no longer be denied.
I vomited blood, the night before it happened.
Hours spent, wretched and afraid, huddled on my bathroom floor,
I didn’t know why, I didn’t know what, I didn’t know if I was dying, or if it was the world.
And as I watched the smoke billow, heard the flames crackle and the screams,
I knew I’d come full circle, back to that girl,
Sitting on the runway, watching the sky rain metal and fire,
And all I could do was cry.
I will not make mockery of the lives lost,
Souls taken in fire and screaming.
I will not let myself be party to the lie,
Party to the fury,
Party to the blame.
I remember the heroes,

KINGSTON, February 25, 2024 – The reggae world is draped in mourning with the passing of Peter Anthony Morgan, the soulful lead singer of the Grammy award-winning reggae ensemble Morgan Heritage, at the tender age of 46.
His family shared the somber news of his departure on Sunday through a touching tribute on social media, leaving the cause of his untimely death unspoken, yet their message brimmed with love and gratitude for the legacy he leaves behind.
Known affectionately as ‘Peetah’ to friends, fans, and family alike, Morgan was the cornerstone of Morgan Heritage, a band forged in the fires of familial bonds and shared musical genius with his four siblings, all children of the famed reggae artist Denroy Morgan.
The group, including Una Morgan, Roy ‘Gramps’ Morgan, Nakhamyah ‘Lukes’ Morgan, and Memmalatel ‘Mr Mojo’ Morgan, under Peter’s leadership, has been a beacon of reggae music, offering songs that resonate with the soul’s deepest yearnings for love, unity, and freedom.
As the Morgan family navigates through this profound loss, they extend their heartfelt thanks to the countless fans and supporters who’ve stood by them, requesting privacy during this period of grief.
The news of Peter Anthony Morgan’s passing has sent ripples of sorrow throughout the music industry, touching the hearts of many around the world who found solace and joy in his music.
Jamaica’s Prime Minister, Andrew Holness, took to X, expressing his deep sorrow over the loss of such a monumental figure in reggae music. “My heart is heavy,” he wrote, recognizing Morgan’s death as a monumental loss for both Jamaica and the global reggae community.
Peoples National Party (PNP) Spokesperson on Culture and Creative Industries, Dr Deborah Hickling Gordon, expressed profound shock and sadness at the news of the passing of the esteemed lead singer of the renowned grammy award winning group.
“The Morgan Family has lost a beloved husband, a father, son, and a brother. Morgan Heritage, recognized for their commitment to activism and social justice, drew inspiration from the teachings of Marcus Garvey and other influential Rastafarian leaders.
“Through their music, they shared messages of hope, unity, and empowerment, addressing critical issues such as poverty, oppression, inequality and love. Their platform inspired fans to contribute towards creating a better world.”
“The legacy of Peter Anthony Morgan will forever resonate through the timeless rhythms and messages of Morgan Heritage,” Dr. Hickling said.
Formed in 1994, Morgan Heritage, celebrated for their contribution to reggae with the Grammy-winning album “Strictly Roots” in 2016, has left an indelible mark on the music world.
Peter Anthony Morgan, alongside his brother Roy “Gramps” Morgan, who sought to blend reggae rhythms with the storytelling traditions of Nashville, has been a testament to the power of music in narrating the tales of human experience, struggle, and resilience.
Peter Anthony Morgan’s legacy is a testament to the power of music to unite, heal, and inspire across generations and borders.
As the reggae community and the world at large bid farewell to a true legend, his spirit will forever resonate in the chords of Morgan Heritage’s music, a beacon of hope and unity in times of darkness.
