Insurance stamp duty halved in NSW
The New South Wales Budget will slash stamp duty on general insurance from 10 per cent to 5 per cent, which will affect not only household insurance but also mortgage, travel and public liability insurance. This will bring taxes on these insurance classes into line with motor vehicle and professional indemnity cover.
The Insurance Council of Australia has lobbied hard for the changes and says that the reduction will provide timely relief for consumers and small business, and remove the disincentives to insurance.
However, although the Treasurer, Michael Egan, said that New South Wales will have the lowest insurance stamp duty rate in Australia, household policies are still subject to the 10 per cent GST and the 18 per cent fire services levy.

Silver / Gray / Black Springtail (Tomocerus sp.) care info
Adult silver springtails can REALLY jump (4-5+?) and can easily escape from a deli cup when the substrate is filled to the top. As such, I typically leave the top 1.5-2 empty in my cultures to reduce escapes. If possible, open the culture and transfer the material over a clean, dry, empty plastic shoebox or sweaterbox. This will catch any jumpers during the transfer, and you can easily tap them back into one of the cultures (see Harvesting).
The substrate I have used with best results is the small coconut chips, which are available from Roberts Flower Supply (www.orchidmix.com) and probably many other orchid supply vendors. Standard ground coconut pith (coco peat, Bed-A-Beast, etc.) will work, though due to the large size of the adults you end up severely limiting the available surface area for them to colonize and cultures are not nearly as productive. The large chunks also prevent the substrate from becoming completely waterlogged and densely packed, which will drown out the springtails if you add too much water. Large charcoal chunks, tree fern fiber or many other substrates may work, though I have not tried them. The coconut chips are very economical, environmentally friendly, productive, and easy to harvest from so I havent looked much further.
Unlike the commonly kept white springtails (Folsomia candida), silver springtails will not thrive in a completely soaked culture. I typically keep the cultures damp enough to keep humidity very high, with the uppermost coconut chips fairly dry, and the bottom chips wet, with a few mL of standing water in the bottom. If you are leaving the cultures for more than a week without tending them, ~1cm of standing water in the bottom will prevent them from drying out completely. I use reverse osmosis (RO) water to avoid mineral buildup in the cultures, though this may not be essential. Moisture can be increased by misting, or just pouring the water straight in.
Silver springtails feed readily on normal baking yeast. I have found this to be much cheaper when purchased in bulk from a local health food store (~$3/lb) compared to a grocery store (almost as much $ for several tiny packets). About once a month, or if Im starting a brand new culture, I sprinkle some Sera Micron fish food on top. This again may not be essential, but I imagine it may help to improve the nutrition of the springtails (and whatever you feed them to). It also seems to start some fungal growth, which the springtails will also feed upon. Just like the substrates, I have not tried too many different foods because yeast is easy and seems to work well.
These springtails were first collected in northern Ohio, and as such must be able to survive everything from subfreezing temperatures to well over 80°F. My cultures have continued to reproduce from 45-80°F+ and survive refrigeration with no problems. Optimal reproduction seems to be between 65-75°F.
Substrate choice will factor into your ability to easily harvest silver springtails. As with white springtails, a variety of methods can be used, with slight modification. Substrate can be transferred directly from the culture to seed your vivaria. A porous chunk of cork bark can be laid on top of the substrate and tapped into your vivarium or a new culture when the springtails have colonized it. Floating silver springtails out of the substrate is not nearly as effective as with white springtails in my experience, as larger adults will often become trapped under the water surface and lost. A standard kitchen strainer works well for sifting out large quantities of young springtails, however the adults are large enough that they do not easily pass through the screen and may become trapped or crushed during the harvesting process. The best way to harvest that I have found involves plastic canvas which can be found at just about any craft store (like Michaels). The openings in this mesh are large enough to allow adults to pass through, and the springtails cannot easily climb on it. I rolled a sheet into a cone-shaped sifter and held it together with small zip ties. This can be used to quickly harvest large numbers from coconut chip substrate by gently sifting them out over a clean, dry plastic shoebox or sweaterbox, and then tapping them out of the plastic box into an empty deli cup. A mesh size slightly larger than the plastic canvas may work even better. One idea would be to use an even larger grade of coconut chips and construct a sifting cone out of the black plastic gutter guard mesh.
As with just about any damp organic culture, a variety of mite species will almost inevitably colonize your cultures. For the most part these do not seem to affect silver springtail cultures until they reach biblical proportions (mites crawling over every surface in the culture and aggregating in clumps). From what I can tell, many of these mites may actually originate in the yeast itself. Microwaving your springtail feed yeast for 45 seconds seems to reduce the mite numbers substantially. This probably kills the yeast, but in my experience microwaving does not affect its palatability to the springtails and cultures continue to thrive on microwaved yeast.
Methods used to minimize mites in other insect cultures, such as keeping cultures on paper toweling treated with an avian mite spray, and regularly rotating out old cultures also help to keep mite numbers down. If cultures become very badly infested, the cultures can be sprayed down thoroughly and then flooded. Although this will result in the loss of some springtails, the mites will become trapped under the surface of the water, and clean springtails can be blown off the waters surface into a clean container with a turkey baster, for use in starting fresh cultures.
Please experiment with the culturing methods. This caresheet only contains what info I have personally figured out in the past few months, and Im sure the amphibian keeping community can improve upon it. Let me know what you figure out. Thanks!

Re: Silver / Gray / Black Springtail (Tomocerus sp.) care info
It's a great care sheet, Tim. Thanks for taking the time to put it together. It would be good to see larger spring tail species available to hobbyists.
I had good success with both orchid bark and lump wood charcoal (untreated). Whilst orchid bark produced slightly higher yields the charcoal was far easier to harvest - just pick up a chunk and place it in the enclosure or tap them off. The charcoal must be kept wet; I sat mine in a thin layer of water.
At first I used a commercial spring tail food which was very expensive. I had just as good results with a combination of fish flake and ready brek (a flaked oat cereal).
Does the species you have reproduce as quickly as the white tropical varieties available commercially?

Re: Silver / Gray / Black Springtail (Tomocerus sp.) care info
Hi Mark,
They do seem to reproduce every bit as fast. New cultures are loaded with juveniles within a few weeks of seeding them.
I'm going to try feeding some cultures at home with baby food oatmeal in addition to the yeast. Maybe the carbohydrates would help the adults grow out faster.
With luck these things will spread pretty quickly over here, and it will probably just be a matter of time before they work their way across the pond...

No, but we might get the opportunity to have them analyzed in the next few months. If that happens I will share the results.

Do you let life interpret God or does God interpret life?
(You can read that multiple times if you need to.)
We may not say it, may not give it voice, may not ever even shape it into words in our minds, but we do this all the time. Your situation shapes your view of God. It shapes your emotions, love, contentment, and peace. It shapes your trust and your faith. As soon as things start going bad, you start questioning your relationship with God. Oh, I haven't been spending enough time in the Word. Oh, God hasn't been speaking to me lately. Oh, I just don't have that spiritual strength I used to.
Here's the reality: Your relationship with God does not depend on how you feel, but what he's done. And God does not depend on how I feel, but on who he is. God does not depend on your circumstances, status, struggles, or state of mind. God's character is not determined by your situation, stresses, social circles, or stage of life. The truth of who God is is unaffected by your decisions, desires, despair, and delusions. God is based on one thing, and one thing only: Himself.
In Exodus 3 when Moses stood barefoot before the fire that did not destroy and asked God what name he should give to the Israelites to describe their God, the Lord answered with five powerful words: I AM WHO I AM." Tell them "I AM" has sent you.
I AM truth. I AM righteous. I AM love. I AM holy. I AM good. I AM just. I AM strong. I AM gracious. I AM glorious. I AM enough. I AM sovereign. I AM in control.
Sometimes we forget that. Sometimes, in the good times, we take God for granted and forget to be in awe, to be constantly learning more fully who he is and so then when the trials come we've forgotten that. We've forgotten who he is, this God we claim to serve.
He is a God who transcends circumstance and surpasses situations. He destroys excuses, eliminates obstacles, and supersedes fear. He is over all and in all. He is sovereign, and he is strong. He is powerful, and he is protection. He is refuge, and he is restoration. He carries us through the fight and protects us through the night. He is over every worry and every conflict and every stress and every complicated situation life throws at you because He is Lord.
Ask yourself this question this week, and remember to keep your eyes above the waves. Blessings!

are a
band formed in
The band consists of
(vocals and rhythm guitar),
The Edge
(guitar, keyboards, and vocals),
Adam Clayton
(bass guitar), and
Larry Mullen, Jr.
(drums and percussion).
The band formed at
secondary school
in 1976 when the members were teenagers with limited musical proficiency. Within four years, they signed to
Island Records
and released
their debut album
. By the mid-1980s, they had become a top international act. They were more successful as a live act than they were at selling records, until their 1987 album
The Joshua Tree
, which, according to
Rolling Stone
, elevated the band's stature "from heroes to superstars". Their 1991 album
Achtung Baby
and the accompanying
Zoo TV Tour
were a musical and thematic reinvention for the band. Reacting to their own sense of musical stagnation and a late-1980's critical backlash, U2 incorporated
dance music
alternative rock
into their sound and performances, replacing their earnest image with a more ironic tone. Since 2000, U2 have pursued a more conventional sound, while maintaining influences from their 1990's musical explorations.
U2 have released 12 studio albums, with worldwide sales totaling more than 145 million records, and they have won 22
Grammy Awards
, more than any other band.
In 2005, the band were inducted into the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
in their first year of eligibility.
Rolling Stone
magazine listed U2 at #22 in its list of the 100 greatest artists of all time. Throughout their career, as a band and as individuals, they have campaigned for human rights and philanthropic causes, including
Amnesty International
, the
ONE Campaign
Product Red
, and Bono's
Formation and early years (1976–79)
The band formed in Dublin on 25 September 1976.
Larry Mullen, Jr.
, then 14 years old, posted a notice on his secondary school (
Mount Temple Comprehensive School
) notice board in search of musicians for a new band. Setting up in his kitchen, Mullen later described it as "'The Larry Mullen Band' for about ten minutes, then Bono walked in and blew any chance I had of being in charge." Mullen was on drums,
Paul Hewson
on lead vocals,
Dave Evans
and his older brother
Dik Evans
on guitar,
Adam Clayton
, a friend of the Evans brothers on bass guitar, and initially Ivan McCormick and Peter Martin, two other friends of Mullen. Soon after, the group settled on the name "Feedback", because it was one of the few technical terms they knew. Martin did not return after the first practice, and McCormick left the group within a few weeks. Most of the group's material initially consisted of cover versions, which the band said was not their forte. The band's early original material was influenced by
punk rock
acts such as
The Clash
The Sex Pistols
In March 1977, the band changed their name to "The Hype". Dik Evans, who was older and by this time at college, was becoming the odd man out. The rest of the band was leaning towards the idea of a four-piece ensemble and he was "phased out" in March 1978.
During a farewell concert in the Presbyterian Church Hall in
, which featured The Hype playing covers, Dik ceremoniously walked offstage.
The remaining four band members completed the concert playing original material as "U2". Steve Averill, a punk rock musician and family friend of Clayton's, had suggested six potential names from which the band chose "U2" for its ambiguity and open-ended interpretations, and because it was the name that they disliked the least.
Saint Patrick's Day
in 1978, U2 won a talent show in
Limerick, Ireland
The prize consisted of £500 and studio time to record a demo which would be heard by CBS Ireland. This win was an important milestone and affirmation for the fledgling band. The band recorded their first demo tape at Keystone Studios in Dublin, in May 1978.
Hot Press
magazine was influential in shaping the band's future; in May,
Paul McGuinness
, who had earlier been introduced to the band by the magazine's journalist Bill Graham, agreed to be U2's
. U2's first release, an Ireland-only EP entitled
, was released in September 1979 and was the band's first Irish chart success. In December 1979, U2 performed in London for their first shows outside Ireland, although they failed to get much attention from audiences or critics. In February 1980, their second single "
Another Day
" was released on the CBS label, but again only for the Irish market.
, and
Island Records
signed U2 in March 1980, and in May, the band released "
11 O'Clock Tick Tock
" as their first international single. The band's debut album,
, followed in October. It was
Steve Lillywhite
and received generally positive reviews. Although Bono's lyrics were unfocused and seemingly improvised, a common theme was the dreams and frustrations of adolescence. The album included the band's first United Kingdom hit single, "
I Will Follow
s release was followed by U2's first tour of continental Europe and the United States. Despite being unpolished, these early live performances demonstrated U2's potential, as critics noted that Bono was a "charismatic" and "passionate" showman.
The band's second album,
was released in 1981 and contained overtly spiritual themes. During the album's recording sessions, Bono and The Edge left the band due to spiritual conflicts, and U2 ceased to exist for a brief period of time. Bono, The Edge, and Mullen had joined a Christian group in Dublin called the 'Shalom Fellowship', which led them to question the relationship between the Christian faith and the rock and roll lifestyle. Ultimately, they left the group to continue with the band.
Recording was further complicated when a briefcase containing lyrics for several working songs was stolen from backstage during the band's performance at a nightclub in
, Oregon.
The album received mixed reviews and limited radio play. Low sales outside the UK put pressure on their contract with Island and focused the band on improvement.
Resolving their doubts of the
period, U2 released
in 1983. A record where the band "turned pacifism itself into a crusade",
s sincerity and "rugged" guitar was intentionally at odds with the "cooler"
of the time. The album included the politically-charged "
Sunday Bloody Sunday
", where Bono had lyrically tried to contrast the events of
Bloody Sunday
Easter Sunday
Rolling Stone
magazine wrote that the song showed the band was capable of deep and meaningful songwriting.
was U2's first album to feature the photography of
Anton Corbijn
, who remains U2's principal photographer and has had a major influence on their vision and public image. U2's first commercial success,
debuted at number one in the UK, and its first single, "
New Year's Day
", was the band's first hit outside Ireland or the UK.
On the subsequent
War Tour
, the band performed sold-out concerts in mainland Europe and the US. Bono, waving a white flag during performances of "Sunday Bloody Sunday", became the tour's iconic image. U2 recorded the
Under a Blood Red Sky
live album on this tour, as well as the
Live at Red Rocks
concert film, both of which received extensive play on the radio and
, expanding the band's audience and showcasing their live performance. Their record deal with Island Records was coming to an end, and in 1984 the band signed a more lucrative extension. They negotiated the return of their copyrights (so that they owned the rights to their own songs), an increase in their royalty rate, and a general improvement in terms, at the expense of a larger initial payment.
The Unforgettable Fire
and Live Aid (1984–85)
The Unforgettable Fire
was released in 1984.
and abstract, it was at the time the band's most marked change in direction. The band feared that following the overt rock of the
album and tour, they were in danger of becoming another "shrill", "sloganeering arena-rock band". Thus, experimentation was sought as Adam Clayton recalls, "We were looking for something that was a bit more serious, more arty." The Edge admired the ambient and "weird works" of
Brian Eno
, who, along with his
Daniel Lanois
, eventually agreed to produce the record.
The Unforgettable Fire
has a rich and orchestrated sound. Under Lanois' direction, Mullen's drumming became looser, funkier, and more subtle and Clayton's bass became more subliminal; the rhythm section no longer intruded, but flowed in support of the songs. Complementing the sonic atmospherics, the album's lyrics are open to many interpretations, providing what the band called a "very visual feel". Bono's recent immersion in fiction, philosophy, and poetry made him realise that his songwriting responsibility—about which he had always been reluctant—was a poetic one. Due to a tight recording schedule, however, Bono felt songs like "
" and "
" were incomplete "sketches". "Pride (In the Name of Love)", about
Martin Luther King, Jr.
, was the album's first single and became the band's biggest hit to that point, including being their first to enter the U.S. top 40.
Much of
The Unforgettable Fire Tour
moved into indoor arenas as U2 began to win their long battle to build their audience. The complex textures of the new studio-recorded tracks, such as "
The Unforgettable Fire
" and "Bad", were problematic to translate to live performance. One solution was programmed
, which the band had previously been reluctant to use, but are now used in the majority of the band's performances. Songs on the album had been criticised as being "unfinished", "fuzzy", and "unfocused", but were better received by critics when played on stage.
U2 participated in the
Live Aid
concert for
Ethiopian famine relief
Wembley Stadium
in July 1985.
U2's performance was a pivotal point in the band's career. During the song "Bad", Bono leapt down off the stage to embrace and dance with a fan, showing a television audience of millions the personal connection that Bono could make with audiences. In 1985,
Rolling Stone
magazine called U2 the "Band of the 80s", saying that "for a growing number of rock-and-roll fans, U2 have become the band that matters most, maybe even the only band that matters".
The Joshua Tree
Rattle and Hum
Motivated by friendships with
Bob Dylan
Van Morrison
, and
Keith Richards
, the band looked back to the roots of rock music, and Bono focused on his skills as a song and lyric writer. Realising "that U2 had no tradition", the band explored American
, and
gospel music
. For their fifth album, the band wanted to build on
The Unforgettable Fire's
atmospherics, but instead of its out-of-focus tracks, they sought a harder-hitting sound within the strict discipline of conventional song structures. U2 interrupted their 1986 album sessions to serve as a headline act on
Amnesty International's
A Conspiracy of Hope
tour. Rather than a distraction, the tour added extra intensity and power to their new music.
In 1986 Bono travelled to
San Salvador
, and saw first-hand the distress of peasants bullied in internal conflicts that were subject to American political intervention.
The experience became a central influence on the new music.
The Joshua Tree
was released in March 1987. The album juxtaposes antipathy towards America against the band's deep fascination with the country, its open spaces, freedom, and what it stands for. The band wanted music with a sense of location, a 'cinematic' quality and the album's music and lyrics draw on imagery created by American writers whose works the band had been reading.
The Joshua Tree
became the fastest-selling album in British chart history, and was number one for nine weeks in the United States. The album's first two singles, "
With or Without You
" and "
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
", quickly went to number one in the U.S. U2 became the fourth rock band to be featured on the cover of
magazine, which declared U2 "Rock's Hottest Ticket". It won U2 their first two
Grammy Awards
. The album brought U2 a new level of success and is cited by
Rolling Stone
as one of rock's greatest.
The Joshua Tree Tour
was the first during which the band played numerous stadium shows alongside smaller arena shows.
The documentary
Rattle and Hum
featured footage recorded from The Joshua Tree Tour, and the accompanying double album of the same name included nine studio tracks and six live U2 performances.
Released in October 1988, the album and film were intended as a tribute to American music, and included recordings at
Sun Studios
and performances with
Bob Dylan
Rattle and Hum
performed modestly at the box office and received mixed reviews from both film and music critics; one
Rolling Stone
editor spoke of the album's "excitement", another described it as "bombastic and misguided". The film's director,
Phil Joanou
, described it as "an overly pretentious look at U2". Most of the album's new material was played on 1989's
Lovetown Tour
, which played in Australia, Japan and Europe, because the band wanted to avoid the American backlash. In addition, they had grown disatisfied with their live performances; Mullen recalled that "We were the biggest, but we weren't the best". With a sense of musical stagnation, Bono said on one of the last dates of the Tour that it was "the end of something for U2..." and that they had to "... go away and just dream it all up again".
Achtung Baby
, Zoo TV, and
Stung by the criticism of
Rattle and Hum
, the band made a calculated change in musical and thematic direction for their seventh studio album,
Achtung Baby
; the change was their most dramatic since
The Unforgettable Fire
. The band began work on
Achtung Baby
in East Berlin in October 1990 with producers Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno, seeking inspiration and renewal on the eve of
German reunification
. The sessions instead proved to be difficult, as conflict arose within the band over their musical direction and the quality of their material. While Clayton and Mullen preferred a sound similar to U2's previous work, Bono and Edge were inspired by
alternative rock
and European
dance music
and advocated a change. Weeks of slow progress, arguments, and tension subsided when the band rallied around a chord progression The Edge had written to improvise the song "
". The band completed the album in 1991 in Dublin.
In November 1991, U2 released
Achtung Baby
. Sonically, the album incorporated alternative rock, dance, and
influences of the time and the band referred to the album as the sound of "four men chopping down the Joshua Tree". Thematically, it was a more inward-looking and personal record; it was darker, yet at times more flippant, than the band's previous work. Commercially and critically, it has been one of the band's most successful albums and was a crucial part of the band's early 1990s reinvention. Like
The Joshua Tree
, it is cited by
Rolling Stone
as one of rock's greatest.
The Zoo TV stage featured a complex setup with over 30 video screens.
Zoo TV Tour
of 1992–1993 was a
event, and showcased an extravagant but intentionally bewildering array of hundreds of video screens, upside-down flying
cars, mock transmission towers,
satellite TV
subliminal messages
, and Bono's over-the-top stage characters such as "
The Fly
", "Mirror-Ball Man", and "(Mister) MacPhisto". The extravagant shows were intentionally in contrast to the austere staging of previous U2 tours, and mocked the excesses of rock and roll by appearing to embrace these very excesses. The shows were, in part, U2's way to represent the pervasive nature of cable television and its blurring of news, entertainment, and home shopping. Prank phone calls were made to
President Bush
, the
United Nations
, and others.
Live satellite uplinks to war-torn
caused controversy.
Quickly recorded and released during a break in the Zoo TV tour in mid-1993, the
album continued many of the themes from
Achtung Baby
and the Zoo TV tour. Initially intended as an
, the band expanded
into a full-length
LP album
. It was an even greater departure from the style of their earlier recordings, incorporating
influences and other electronic effects.
Johnny Cash
sang the vocal on the "
The Wanderer
". Most of the songs were played at least once during the 1993 leg of the tour, which extended through Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Japan; half the album's tracks became fixtures in the set.
, and PopMart (1994–99)
In 1995, U2 released an experimental album called
Original Soundtracks 1
. Brian Eno, producer of three previous U2 albums, contributed as a full partner, including writing and performing. For this reason, and due to the record's highly experimental nature, the band chose to release it under the moniker "Passengers" to distinguish it from U2's conventional albums. Mullen said of the album, "There's a thin line between interesting music and self-indulgence. We crossed it on the Passengers record." It was commercially unnoticed by U2 standards and it received generally poor reviews. However, the single "
Miss Sarajevo
" featuring
Luciano Pavarotti
, which Bono cites as one of his favourite U2 songs, was a hit.
On 1997's
, U2 continued experimenting;
tape loops
, rhythm sequencing, and
provided much of the album with heavy, funky dance rhythms. Released in March, the album debuted at number one in 35 countries, and drew mainly positive reviews.
Rolling Stone
, for example, stated that U2 had "defied the odds and made some of the greatest music of their lives". Others felt that the album was a major disappointment and sales were poor compared to previous U2 releases. The band was hurried into completing the album in time for the impending pre-booked tour, and Bono admitted that the album "didn't communicate the way it was intended to".
The subsequent tour,
, commenced in April 1997. Like Zoo TV, it poked fun at pop culture and was intended to send a sarcastic message to those accusing U2 of commercialism. The stage included a tall golden yellow arch (reminiscent of the
logo), a long video screen, and a tall mirrorball lemon. U2's "big shtick" failed, however, to satisfy many who were seemingly confused by the band's new kitsch image and elaborate sets. The late delivery of
meant rehearsal time was severely reduced, and performances in early shows suffered.
A highlight of the tour was a concert in
where U2 were the first major group to perform following the
Bosnian War
Mullen described the concert as "an experience I will never forget for the rest of my life, and if I had to spend 20 years in the band just to play that show, and have done that, I think it would have been worthwhile." One month following the conclusion of the PopMart Tour, U2 appeared on the 200th episode of
The Simpsons
, "
Trash of the Titans
", in which
Homer Simpson
disrupted the band on stage during a PopMart concert.
"Reapplying for the job of the best band in the world" (2000–06)
Following the comparatively poor reception of
, U2 declared they were "reapplying for the job ... [of] the best band in the world", and have since pursued a more conventional rock sound mixed with the influences of their 1990s musical explorations.
All That You Can't Leave Behind
was released in October 2000 and was produced by Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois. For many of those not won over by the band's 1990s music, it was considered a return to grace;
Rolling Stone
called it U2's "third masterpiece" alongside
The Joshua Tree
Achtung Baby
. The album debuted at number one in 22 countries and its worldwide hit single, "
Beautiful Day
" earned three
Grammy Awards
, as did the album's three other singles.
For the
Elevation Tour
, U2 performed in a scaled-down setting, returning to arenas after nearly a decade of stadium productions. A heart-shaped stage and ramp permitted greater proximity to the audience.
Following the
September 11 attacks
, the new album gained added resonance, and in October, U2 performed at
Madison Square Garden
in New York City.
Bono and the Edge later said these New York City shows were among their most memorable and emotional performances. In early 2002, U2 performed during halftime of
Super Bowl XXXVI
, which
ranked as the best halftime show in Super Bowl history.
The band's next studio album,
How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb
, was released in November 2004. The band were looking for a harder-hitting rock sound than
All That You Can't Leave Behind
. Thematically, Bono states that "A lot of the songs are paeans to naiveté, a rejection of knowingness."
The first single, "
", was featured on a widely-aired television commercial for the
, and a U2 iPod and an
iTunes U2 box set
was released.
The album debuted at number one in the U.S. where first week sales doubled that of
All That You Can't Leave Behind
and set a record for the band. Claiming it as a contender as one of U2's three best albums, Bono said, "There are no weak songs. But as an album, the whole isn't greater than the sum of its parts, and it fucking annoys me." The
Vertigo Tour
featured a set list that varied more across dates than any U2 tour since the Lovetown Tour, and included songs not played since the early 1980s. Like the Elevation Tour, the Vertigo Tour was a commercial success. The album and its singles won Grammy Awards in all eight categories in which U2 were nominated.
In 2005,
Bruce Springsteen
inducted U2 into the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
concert film
, filmed at nine concerts during the
South America
leg of the Vertigo Tour was released on 23 January 2008.
In August 2006, the band incorporated its publishing business in The Netherlands following the capping of Irish artists' tax exemption at €250,000. Dave Evans stated that businesses often seek to minimize their tax burdens. The move was criticised in the
Irish parliament
. The band said the criticism was unfair, stating that approximately 95% of their business took place outside of Ireland, that they were taxed globally because of this, and that they were all "personal investors and employers in the country".
No Line on the Horizon
and U2 360° Tour (2007–present)
The band's 360-degree stage layout from their 2009 U2 360° Tour
The band began work on their twelfth album
No Line on the Horizon
in 2006, originally writing and recording with producer
Rick Rubin
, but the material was shelved. The band subsequently chose to begin writing and recording for the album with producers Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno in June 2007.
A two-week trip to
Fez, Morocco
where the six recorded led to the band experimenting with North African sounds and indicating the album would be more experimental than their previous efforts.
During the album sessions, on 31 March 2008, it was confirmed that U2 signed a 12 year deal with
Live Nation
worth an estimated $100 million (£50 million), which includes Live Nation controlling the band's merchandise, sponsoring, and their official website.
The band completed
No Line on the Horizon
in December 2008, and it was released on 27 February 2009. The album received generally positive reviews, but critics noted the end result was not as experimental as expected.
The band have said they have material from the
No Line on the Horizon
sessions that could form another album, provisionally titled
Songs of Ascent
. Bono says it would be "a more meditative album on the theme of pilgrimage" and may be released in 2010.
U2 360° Tour
began on 30 June 2009 and features European and North American stadium dates in 2009, with additional shows in 2010. The shows feature a 360-degree staging/audience configuration, in which the fans surround the stage from all sides.
On 25 June 2010 the band will headline the
Glastonbury Festival
for a special event with a different stage-setting than with the rest of the tour.
Musical style
Since their inception, U2 have developed and maintained a distinctly recognisable sound, with emphasis on melodic instrumentals and expressive, larger-than-life vocals. This approach is rooted partly in the early influence of record producer
Steve Lillywhite
at a time when the band was not known for musical proficiency. The Edge has consistently used a rhythmic echo and a signature
to craft his guitar work, coupled with an Irish-influenced
played against his syncopated melodies that ultimately yields a well-defined ambient, chiming sound. Bono has nurtured his
operatic voice and has exhibited a notable lyrical bent towards social, political, and personal subject matter while maintaining a grandiose scale in his songwriting. In addition, The Edge has described U2 as a fundamentally live band.
Despite these broad consistencies, U2 have introduced new elements into their musical repertoire with each new album. U2's early sound was influenced by bands such as
Joy Division
, and has been described as containing a "sense of exhilaration" that resulted from The Edge's "radiant chords" and Bono's "ardent vocals". U2's sound began with
roots and minimalistic and uncomplicated instrumentals heard on
, but evolved through
to include aspects of rock anthem, funk, and dance rhythms to become more versatile and aggressive.
were labelled "muscular and assertive" by
Rolling Stone
, influenced in large part by Lillywhite's producing.
The Unforgettable Fire
, which began with the Edge playing more keyboards than guitars, as well as follow-up
The Joshua Tree
, had
Brian Eno
Daniel Lanois
at the production helm. With their influence, both albums achieved a "diverse texture". The songs from
The Joshua Tree
Rattle and Hum
placed more emphasis on Lanois-inspired rhythm as they mixed distinct and varied styles of gospel and blues music, which stemmed from the band's burgeoning fascination with America's culture, people and places. In the 1990s, U2 reinvented themselves as they began using
, and
beats derived from
alternative rock
industrial music
, and
Achtung Baby
, and
. The 2000s had U2 returning to a stripped-down sound, with less obvious use of synthesizers and effects and a more traditional rhythm.
Lyrics and themes
Social and political commentary, often embellished with
religious and spiritual imagery, are a major aspect of U2's lyrical content. Songs such as "
Sunday Bloody Sunday
", "Silver and Gold", and "Mothers of the Disappeared" were motivated by current events of the time.
The former was written about
the troubles
Northern Ireland
, while the latter concerns the struggle of
whose children were kidnapped and killed under
's military dictatorship that began in 1976.
Bono's personal conflicts and turmoil inspired family colour songs like "
", "
" and "
". An emotional yearning or pleading frequently appears as a lyrical theme, in tracks such as "
", "
Peace on Earth
", and "
". Much of U2's songwriting and music is also motivated by contemplations of loss and anguish, coupled with hopefulness and resiliency, themes that are central to
The Joshua Tree
. Some of these lyrical ideas have been amplified by Bono and the band's personal experiences during their youth in Ireland, as well as Bono's campaigning and activism later in his life. U2 have used tours such as
Zoo TV
to caricature social trends, such as media overload and consumerism, respectively.
While the band and its fans often affirm the political nature of their music, U2's lyrics and music have been criticized as apolitical because of their vagueness and "fuzzy imagery", and a lack of any specific references to actual people or characters.
The band cites
The Who
The Clash
The Beatles
Joy Division
Siouxsie & the Banshees
Patti Smith
as influences.
Van Morrison
has been cited by Bono as an influence and his influence on U2 is pointed out by the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Other musicians and bands such as
Snow Patrol
The Fray
, This Allure,
The Academy Is...
The Killers
Your Vegas
, and
Angels & Airwaves
have in turn been influenced by the work of U2. U2 have also worked and/or had influential relationships with artists including
Johnny Cash
Green Day
Leonard Cohen
Bruce Springsteen
Luciano Pavarotti
Bob Dylan
Elvis Costello
Wim Wenders
Salman Rushdie
, and
Anton Corbijn
Campaigning and activism
Since the early 1980s, the members of U2—as a band and individually—have collaborated with other musicians, artists, celebrities, and politicians to address issues concerning poverty, disease, and social injustice.
In 1984, Bono and Adam Clayton participated in
Band Aid
to raise money for
famine relief.
The initiative produced the hit charity single "
Do They Know It's Christmas?
", which would be the first among several collaborations between U2 and
Bob Geldof
. In July 1985, U2 played
Live Aid
, a follow-up to Band Aid's efforts. Bono and his wife Ali, invited by
World Vision
, later visited Ethiopia where they witnessed the famine first hand. Bono would later say this laid the groundwork for his Africa campaigning and some of his songwriting.
In 1986, U2 participated in the
A Conspiracy of Hope
tour in support of
Amnesty International
and in
Self Aid
for unemployment in Ireland.
The same year, Bono and Ali Hewson also visited
El Salvador
at the invitation of the
Sanctuary movement
, and saw the effects of the
El Salvador Civil War
These 1986 events greatly influenced
The Joshua Tree
album, which was being recorded at the time.
In 1992, the band participated in the "Stop
" concert with
during their Zoo TV tour.
Events in Sarajevo during the
Bosnian war
inspired the song "
Miss Sarajevo
", which premiered at a September 1995
and Friends show, and which Bono and the Edge performed at
War Child
. A promise made in 1993 was kept when the band played in Sarajevo as part of 1997's PopMart Tour.
In 1998, they performed in
days prior to the vote on the
Good Friday Agreement
, bringing
Northern Irish
political leaders
David Trimble
John Hume
on stage to promote the agreement.
Later that year, all proceeds from the release of the "
Sweetest Thing
" single went towards supporting the
Chernobyl Children's Project
In 2001, the band dedicated "
Walk On
" to
pro-democracy leader
Aung San Suu Kyi
In late 2003, Bono and the Edge participated in the South Africa HIV/AIDS awareness
series of concerts hosted by
Nelson Mandela
. The band played 2005's
Live 8
concert in London. The band and manager Paul McGuinness were awarded
Amnesty International
Ambassador of Conscience Award
for their work in promoting human rights.
Since 2000, Bono's campaigning has included
Jubilee 2000
with Bob Geldof,
Muhammad Ali
, and others to promote the cancellation of third world debt during the
Great Jubilee
. In January 2002, Bono co-founded the multinational
, with the aim of improving the social, political, and financial state of Africa. He continued his campaigns for debt and HIV/AIDS relief into June 2002 by making high-profile visits to Africa.
Product Red
, a 2006 for-profit brand seeking to raise money for the
Global Fund
, was founded, in part, by Bono. The
ONE Campaign
, the US counterpart of
Make Poverty History
, has been shaped by his efforts and vision. Bono has also teamed up with
to promote the ONE Campaign, which Yahoo! has helped to re-develop.
In late 2005, following
Hurricane Katrina
Hurricane Rita
, The Edge helped introduce
Music Rising
, an initiative to raise funds for musicians who lost their instruments in the storm-ravaged
Gulf Coast
. In 2006, U2 collaborated with
punk rock
Green Day
to record a remake of the song "
The Saints Are Coming
" by
The Skids
to benefit Music Rising.
U2 and Bono's social activism have not been without its critics however. Several authors and activists who publish in politically left journals such as
have decried Bono's support of political figures such as
Paul Wolfowitz
, as well as his "essential paternalism". Other news sources have more generally questioned the efficacy of Bono's campaign to
relieve debt
and provide assistance to Africa. Tax and development campaigners have also criticized the band's move from Ireland to the Netherlands to reduce its tax bill.
Other projects
The members of U2 have undertaken a number of side projects, sometimes in collaboration with some of their bandmates. In 1985, Bono recorded the song "
In a Lifetime
" with the Irish band
. The Edge recorded a solo soundtrack album for the film
in 1986, which included a vocal performance by
Sinéad O'Connor
that predates her own debut album by a year. Bono and The Edge wrote the song "She's a Mystery to Me" for
Roy Orbison
, which was featured on his 1989 album
Mystery Girl
. In 1990, Larry Mullen co-wrote and produced a song for the Irish International soccer team in
Italia '90
, called "
Put 'Em Under Pressure
", which topped the Irish charts. Together with The Edge, Bono wrote the song "
" for the 1995
James Bond
, which was performed by
Tina Turner
. Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen, Jr. did a rework of the title track of the movie
Mission: Impossible
in 1996. Bono loaned his voice to "Joy" on
Mick Jagger
's 2001 album
Goddess in the Doorway
. Bono also recorded a spare, nearly spoken-word version of
Leonard Cohen
's "
" for the "
Tower of Song
" compilation in 1995. Additionally, in 1998, Bono collaborated with
Kirk Franklin
Crystal Lewis
(along with other controversially mainstream artists
Mary J.
) for a successful gospel song called "
Lean on Me
", an interpretation of the
Bill Withers
Aside from musical collaborations, U2 have worked with several authors. American author
William S.
had a guest appearance in U2's video for "Last Night on Earth" shortly before he died. His poem "A Thanksgiving Prayer" was used as video footage during the band's Zoo TV Tour. Other collaborators include
William Gibson
Allen Ginsberg
. In early 2000, the band recorded three songs for the
The Million Dollar Hotel
movie soundtrack
, including "
The Ground Beneath Her Feet
", which was co-written by
Salman Rushdie
and motivated by his
book of the same name
Most recently, Bono appeared and performed
The Beatles
songs in the movie
Across the Universe
(2007). Bono and The Edge are also writing the music to
Spider-Man: The Musical
, expected to open in February 2010. Additionally, The Edge created the theme song for Season 1 and 2 of the television series
The Batman
The Unforgettable Fire
The Joshua Tree
Rattle and Hum
Achtung Baby
All That You Can't Leave Behind
How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb
No Line on the Horizon

Steedly educating small farmers | News | The Press and Standard
by The Press and Standard | January 5, 2018 5:00 pm
Last Updated: January 3, 2018 at 10:13 am
Scott Steedly's vision for the seed money provided from the Feeding Innovation sought to play a role in growing one of the nation's lagging crops: small farmers.
Steedly's non-profit, International Center for Sustainability, Inc. would primarily focus on education of both local residents and tourists about the environment and sustainable farming, especially permaculture.
Permaculture, a mingling of the words permanent and agriculture, seeks to work within nature to provide food and other basic necessities of life without depleting natural resources.
Steedly has access to a 38 acre farm about three miles outside the Walterboro city limits.
He envisions it becoming home to Project AIR (Abundant Immersion Retreats).
Visitors to Project AIR would experience "direct immersion with eco-tourism and agri-tourism events." A chance, Steedly offered, "to reconnect with nature."
"It would provide education, action learning activities, to grow new farms, inspire entrepreneurship and eradicate food deserts through the integration of education, science, art, nature and community," Steedly said.
Steedly suggested that the concept of Project AIR was a seed planted from his work within the local education system.
For the past three years, Steedly has been working with the special needs students at Colleton County High School.
He and the students took what he called a dead space at the high school and "converted it into a outdoor edible classroom."
The students established a produce garden. "It is an action learning hands-on experience-soil building, planting and nurturing the seeds, harvesting the produce and developing micro businesses along the way."
When the student's crops are harvested, the produce is either cooked to give the students a taste of what they grew or given to the students to take home to their family.
In addition to the students getting a sense of accomplishment, their parents get a taste of locally grown produce and hopefully a desire to establish their own family gardens.
Steedly envisions the farm, centered around the concepts of permaculture, as a wildlife reserve, a base for eco-tourism and agri-tourism — an education, arts and events space.
He had sought the seed money from the program to help purchase three used, 40 foot freight containers that would then be converted to provide indoor classroom space for inclement weather, a greenhouse, a stage, a central learning center, housing for interns working with Project AIR and storage.
Because of the variety of programs conducted at the farm, Steedly explained, Project AIR would have multiple revenue sources.
Steedly, who comes from a farming family with a background in education, believes that Project AIR can play a role in attracting new farmers and drawing more families to establishing their own produce gardens.
"Get them excited, make it fun and they will do it themselves," he offered.

Anderson, SC - Late Thursday afternoon an Anderson County jury convicted Raeford Wideman of Murder, and he was sentenced to 30 years in jail by Judge Lawton McIntosh. The case was tried by Assistant Solicitor Stan Overby for the State.
At trial it was established that during the early morning hours of March 15, 2015, Wideman shot the victim, Ryan Oneill Tatum, multiple times while Tatum was in a vehicle outside of Mr. Wideman's residence. Mr. Tatum had been dating Mr. Wideman's sister at the time of the shooting, and was returning from Greenville with her and her cousin when the Defendant came out of the house armed. An investigation by the Anderson County Sheriff's Office determined that multiple shots had been fired at Mr. Tatum while the firearm was placed inside the vehicle he was driving. The investigation proved that Mr. Wideman had every intention of killing Mr. Tatum, though Wideman initially maintained he had fired accidentally.
Following the verdict Solicitor David R. Wagner said "Thanks to the investigation by Detective Nathan Mitchell and the rest of the Anderson County Sheriff's Office, Mr. Wideman's story was disproved and there can be justice for Mr. Tatum and his family today."

Walhalla, SC – An Oconee County jury convicted Kenneth Strother Collins of Murder, Kidnapping and the Possession of a Weapon during the Commission of a Violent Crime today in Oconee General Sessions Court. The Honorable Scott Sprouse sentenced Collins to 30 years for Murder and 20 years for Kidnapping to be served consecutively as well as 5 years for the weapons charge to be served concurrently. The State was represented by Deputy Solicitor Lindsey Simmons who was assisted by Assistant Solicitor Jason Alderman.
On January 12, 2015, Jeremy Little was staying at an apartment at Walhalla Gardens where he met Collins and two other individuals. Collins purchased some methamphetamine from Little who was going to go meet with Collins later to get the rest of the money for the drugs. Sometime after 1 a.m. on January 13th, Little arrived at 505 N. Laurel Street in Walhalla where he was to retrieve money and smoke methamphetamine with Collins and others in the home. Two of the witnesses stated that when they came into the house that Collins was in a rage, brandishing a large knife and accusing Little of being an law enforcement informant. During his rage, he stabbed the victim, walked away and then returned to kick and stomp him in the face. As he lay helpless in the floor, Collins stabbed Little in the back again as one of the witnesses watched.
The witnesses were then forced to help Collins clean up the crime scene. The victim was stripped, gagged, bound and stuffed in a sack inside of rugs and other materials while he was still alive. Collins planned to hide the victim's body in the attic but law enforcement arrived before they could hide him.
Upon receiving two 911 calls, officers went to the location and at first found the house dark and quiet. When they went back later, they saw blood and forced entry into the house. Little's body was found at the attic stairs but Collins and the two witnesses who were hiding in the attic were not immediately found. Several hours later, one of the witnesses fell through the ceiling from the attic where she and the others had been hiding under insulation. Collins later came down from the attic with a gun cocked in his mouth but was taken into custody before any shots were fired.
Although Collins claimed self-defense in this case, witness testimony and forensic evidence proved otherwise.
Solicitor David Wagner stated after the trial, "Kenneth Collins committed a savage attack on Jeremy Little. Jeremy Little begged for his life and Collins continued to brutally assault and stab him. Then, in a final brutal act, Collins stripped Little, bound him, gagged him and stuffed him in a bag while he was still alive in an attempt to hide his crime. Collins now has 50 years in prison to reflect on his crimes and how many people have been hurt because of his actions. Unfortunately, this will not make up for the loss of Jeremy Little to his family members and friends. However, it will prevent Collins from hurting or possibly killing someone else. I would like to thank Oconee County Sheriff's Office and Walhalla Police Department for the excellent work done on this case."

Anderson, SC -- On October 18, 2017, an Anderson County jury found Cole Brooks Gray guilty of the charges of Trafficking Methamphetamine, with a weight range of 100-200 grams, Receiving Stolen Goods, and Failure to Stop for a Blue Light. Following his conviction, the Honorable Alexander S. Macaulay sentenced Gray to 25 years in jail for Trafficking, 3 years for Receiving Stolen Goods and 5 years for Failure to Stop for a Blue Light. The case was tried by Solicitor David R. Wagner.
On November 12, 2016, a Sheriff's Deputy observed Gray run a stop sign near the Starr Community while driving a stolen 1994 Chevy C1500. The officer initiated both his blue lights and his siren but Gray failed to stop. He then led deputies through Anderson County on a high speed chase that ended on Dixon Road only after officers barricaded a road and deployed stop sticks to deflate the tires of the truck Gray was driving. Prior to stopping, Gray threw a large bag containing 109 grams of methamphetamine out of the driver's window into the roadway. Following the chase another bag of methamphetamine was also found in the driver's seat of the truck.
"Cole Gray is a career criminal who put our community in danger not only by trafficking methamphetamine, but by completely disregarding public safety during a lengthy and dangerous chase with law enforcement. Thanks to the hard work of the Anderson County Sheriff's Office he is off the streets and will no longer threaten the health and safety of the citizens of Anderson County," said Solicitor Wagner, following the guilty verdict. "Mr. Gray has 25 years in jail to consider how he wants to become a productive member of society."

Kev Richardson outdoes himself in telling the tale of lasting love that inspired his life. In A Home for Old Ladies, Richardson touches your heartstrings recounting Evan and Maggie's tale of inner-fire at first sight, the joy of a lasting relationship as they follow their individual careers, and the cozy evenings spent together by an open hearth. The extensive renovation of the family's estate, Stanford Lodge, is the very power that holds the family unit together until daughter, Leanne and her brother, Paul, grow up to follow their own paths. I fell in love with Evan Robson and his sweet relationship with Maggie. The love scenes are so dear, so tender and so touching I wished I could be she.
Jo Ellen Conger
Conger Book Reviews - USA
A Home For Old Ladies is restored from derelict to what its time-worn patients would have imagined of their hospice in its heyday. They had watched it die. New generation lovers use those old ladies' dreams as inspiration for restoration. Such labours of love exemplify how togetherness, understanding, conjoining—all the essences of sharing can help remould an already shattered family. Every essence of solidarity proves essential in the renaissance of such a home, the bonding of family love that undoubtedly inspired its creation.
Richardson overlays his own experiences on such a backdrop, sharing with his Maggie, an inspiring tale of absorbing all such negatives as doubt, insecurity and fear of rejection. Can externally injected family rifts be overcome with the shared joy of together building a new environment?
Libby Abbott,
Aussie eBook Reviews
A Home for Old Ladies is a charming read from the first to the last page, a story of an Australian family in the 1970's who strove to make each day count. Their love and support of each other made a difference. It also brought them sorrow. For a glimpse of Australia during the 1970's, this is the book to read.
Katherine Pym,
Following a career in business management at international level, Kev attained a degree in journalism to then sweat as far up the River Nile as one can get, canoe down the Amazon, flash countless rolls of film from atop the Eiffel Tower, the heights above Yosemite, the Victoria Falls et al, scream "Ole" at a Chihuahua bullfight, ride elephant trails in Thai jungles, wallow in the incredible history of Rapa Nui's Maoi, and as convention almost demands, was mugged in Bogota. His articles on travel to exotic lands have featured in travel and airline magazines around the world.
Meanwhile, being a sixth generation descendant of Australia's First Fleeters with an obsessive interest in Australia's founding history, he was concerned over the generations of suppression in the education of Australians, on clouding the truth in what really happened. Years of fact-finding with the help of other dedicated researchers revealed all and Kev vowed to set the history books aright by bringing the brutal truths of convictism to light. He is well qualified to do so for as a student of First Fleet history he has presented his subject on many occasions in press, radio and television interviews. He is a Past President of 'The First Fleet Fellowship' and a Past Secretary of 'The Descendants of Convicts Inc.'. During Australia's 1988 Bicentenary he officiated in Founding celebrations in Sydney, Melbourne, Hobart and Norfolk Island and for his work during that Bicentenary, was created Honorary Life Member of 'The Regiment of Redcoat Descendants'.
Kev now devotes his life to writing on not only his country's convict history, but general fiction with an Australian flavour. He recognises the growing trend towards digital reading so follows the world's top authors in publishing his works both as traditional paperbacks and eBooks.
His Gurrewa and Brogan series released by Wings ePress are followed by Letitia Munro in October 2008, To Plough Van Diemen's Land in June 2009 and The Terrible Truths in December 2009, the last three being more works on his country's convict beginnings. Short synopses of all can be read on www.kev-richardson.com. And more works are in the pipeline.
These days Kev travels less, having retired from his Gold Coast home, left his grown family and friends to write from experiences and adventures during his exciting travels, happily ensconced in the foothills of the Golden Triangle in amazing Thailand's exotic north.

The Sessions Movie Quotes
"The Sessions" movie quotes follow along as a paralyzed poet decides to lose his virginity and seeks out a sex surrogate. The independent drama earned praise at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival including receiving the Audience Award and US Dramatic Special Jury Prize.
In "The Sessions," Mark O'Brien (John Hawkes) is a 38-year-old man who was paralyzed and confined to an iron lung after contracting polio as a child. Having never been with a woman, Mark decides that it's time to lose his virginity. With the support of his priest, Father Brendan (William H. Macy), Mark finds a sex surrogate to help him. A sex surrogate is not a prostitute but does provide sexual contact as a technique in order to achieve a therapeutic goal.
Mark begins seeing sex surrogate Cheryl Cohen Greene. At first he's highly nervous but after he gets to know Cheryl a bit more during their sessions he starts to loosen up and come to really adore Cheryl."The Sessions" is based on a true story but for something a bit more fictional, check out other great movies such as "Alex Cross," "Smashed," "Sinister," "Seven Psychopaths," "Argo," "Here Comes the Boom," "The Paperboy," "Taken 2," "Frankenweenie," "Butter," "Won't Back Down," and "Looper."

Adhaesio – always in contact
New Dual Time by MeisterSinger
June 30, 2015
The single-hand watch specialist MeisterSinger has developed a dual timer that adeptly follows its own aesthetic principles and the confident perception its clients have of time. For years now, MeisterSinger has continually developed timepieces with additional functions and always managed to find ways that embody the essence of its single-hand watches, both technically and in terms of design. The Adhaesio too is a typical MeisterSinger, in both concept and aesthetics.
An individual, needle-sharp hour hand points to the current time of day or night at the location of its wearer, accurate to within five minutes. Above the MeisterSinger logo, an arrow points to the second local time on a 24-hour ring, which slowly rotates in a clockwise direction.
The carefully selected typography ensures that the display is clearly readable. The time of day and the date form one cohesive unit. The second time zone is clearly visible. Both rings are set slightly deeper than the edge and the center of the dial. Characteristic of MeisterSinger, the hour is therefore visually in the foreground.
Powered by a Swiss automatic movement, the ETA 2893. The local time, the second time zone and the date can all be easily adjusted via the crown.
43 millimeters in diameter, its stainless steel case is discreet in size and a mere 10 millimeters high. The Adhaesio connects it wearer with two time zones that are both important to him – or remind him constantly of a place he is attached to.

Every plan after execution needs review at its end point. The awareness towards Mozilla and Open web was started in Durgapur from Mozcafe@ bcrec from 13th February, 2013. That event was successful. But to measure the success and growth in contribution towards Mozilla and its products from mozcafe@bcrec, we have hosted a small meet-up named "Durgapur_mozconnect" near Bidhannagar, Durgapur (West Bengal) on 13th April, 2013 from 01:00 p:m to 04:00 p:m.
15 participants including previous contributors (Chandan kumar, Biraj karmakar, Gaurav Kumar, Umesh Agarwal), new contributors (Amit Kumar Thakur, Neeraj Goswami, Mrityunjay Kumar Singh, Souradeep De, Apoorv ashutosh, Shubendu Ghosh) and upcoming Contributors (Avinash Kumar, Shantanu Ghosh, Zubin Tiwari, Abhishek Kumar, Sourav Kumar) from Dr.B.C. Roy Engineering College, Durgapur attended under supervision of Mozilla Reps Shahid Farooqi and One guy from Asansol.
The meet-up started with the introduction of all volunteers specifying their interest and contribution. I basically found many of them are interested or contributing in Mozilla localization, Sumo and Web development. But all of them are interested in FirefoxOS and apps development. We are hoping from the community to get a FirefoxOS Apps day soon in Durgapur. After that i have presented a paper on "How to imply Screen-shot Comparison technique in Mozilla Firefox Localization Quality Analysis." with the help of the source taken from Fuel Project. The material will be available soon in all mailing list. After listening and sorting out the problems in contribution to localization and sumo, we have formed a team for FirefoxOS video Contest.
This is not the last but with ending we have fixed a Durgapur community Monthly meetup every month (if possible) in our college on 18th April, 2013 from 01:00 p:m to 02:00 p:m to track the progress of contribution in the community.
Thanks to Shahid, Biraj, Umesh, Shubhendu, Apoorv and Souradeep for making the same successful.
