Huntsville City Schools Weapon Detection Evolvs
February 8, 2023
Imagine walking into school at 8 in the morning and walking through a giant metal contraption and being ushered through when the green light says you can. This is now a reality for students in nearby Huntsville City Schools.
As of January 31, weapon detectors were activated. There were many factors that led to the addition of weapon detectors, but a major one was the numerous gun incidents that happened in the past weeks at Huntsville City Schools. Within just a couple of weeks, not one but three gun incidents occurred in HCS, two at Lee High School and one at Mae Jemison High School. When urged by parents and students for better protocols and response, the HCS Security team decided to install a new weapons detection system called Evolv Technology.
So what is Evolv, and will it actually keep students safe? Within the FAQs portion of the Evolv website, it is stated that Evolve is not a metal detector but uses advanced sensors and artificial intelligence. It is AI-driven using low frequency, electromagnetic fields and advanced sensors to detect weapons. If a weapon is suspected, then a snapshot is taken of the said student with a box around the area where the suspected weapon may be. The snapshot is then sent to the security guard monitoring the screening, who proceeds to search for the suspected weapon. The system is also easily portable, which is an excellent addition because the weapon detectors will be rotating schools and managed by the HCS Security team. Students walk through the detectors like any other detector but must hold their laptops as they do. The system has been in use ever since winter break at some Huntsville City Schools campuses and sporting events. HCS is the first district in Alabama to install Evolv technology.
The HCS school district encourages parents to check their kids' backpacks at home as well. If a student is found with a weapon on campus, they could face major consequences, one of them being expulsion.
We spoke to some Grissom High School students to see how they felt about this. When asked the question of his opinion on the new weapon detectors, Grissom senior Marcos Vazquez stated, "I think it's a pretty good idea. So far there have been a lot of kids bringing weapons to school and I think that with the detectors it is going to stop all of that and it will be a better way to keep students safe." Grissom freshman Yared Vazquez also stated, "I feel like it's a good way for people to actually do something and a lot of places don't have that, especially now with school shootings being more common with that I feel like there will be a lot more change." Grissom sophomore Betsua Jimenez when asked if she felt safer stated, "Half and half, I still feel like students are going to find a way to get guns in schools."
When asked if Madison City Schools would ever consider using Evolv technology, Madison City Schools superintendent Dr. Ed Nichols stated, "I can never say absolutely that Madison City would not consider some type of weapons detection program. However, at this time our safety staff have not recommended we add this to our safety plan." It is reassuring to know that if the need ever arrives MCS will take the correct measures for the safety of the students.
With that being said, even though it is sad that weapon detection systems are needed in the first place, let's hope safety technology continues to "Evolv" for the sake of student safety.

The Council of Ministers approved, on the fifth of November 2012, the budget year 2013 worth 138 trillion Iraqi dinars and adopted the budget on oil exports from Iraq on the basis of $ 90 as the price per barrel.
Helen announced that "the International Monetary Fund will enter into negotiations with the government, the end of this month and we will discuss these issues."

Oct. 23, 2022
Northwest Missouri State University, during Homecoming activities Saturday, dedicated a new campus landmark that exhibits the University's pride while honoring the institution's 10th president and first lady.
The new statue depicting Bobby Bearcat stands east of the Carl and Cheryl Hughes Fieldhouse near College Park Drive and was placed Oct. 13 in honor of Dr. John and Denise Jasinski for their service to Northwest and the community.
The statue was made possible by Ron Houston, a friend of Northwest who has generously supported numerous building projects and academic initiatives. Born and raised in nearby Hopkins, Missouri, Houston attended Northwest for three years as a pre-engineering major and then completed his industrial engineering degree at the University of Missouri-Columbia. Today, he is president of J.L. Houston Company, a manufacturer of steel storage tanks.
"Universities across the nation have erected statues of their mascots for decades," Northwest Interim President Dr. Clarence Green said during Saturday's dedication ceremony. "What makes us stand apart from everyone else is ours is Bobby Bearcat. What we have before us is a representation of family, culture, connection, a rich history and great pride. Future students, current students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends now have another university symbol on our campus to take pride in. Our campus will continue to change, but something that will remain constant and an image of our great community will be this statue."
Although the makeup of Bobby Bearcat, Northwest's costumed mascot, has changed through the decades, he remains a spirit leader and goodwill ambassador for the University. Northwest adopted its nickname in 1916 after being dubbed "Bearcats" by an opposing coach. Though variations appeared at events and on Homecoming floats, it wasn't until the 1970s that a Bobby Bearcat costume was created by the art department and worn at Bearcat athletics contests.
Northwest's new statue depicting Bobby Bearcat stands east of the Carl and Cheryl Hughes Fieldhouse near College Park Drive.
Brandon Crandall, a freelance sculpture artist, designed and sculpted the statue with the goal of presenting the figure as a source of Northwest pride while honoring the University's beloved mascot. The bronze statue, which stands about 8 feet tall and weighs about 650 pounds, is the largest piece Crandall has produced in his 16 years as a sculpture artist.
"My goal was to create a vision of Bobby that was strong and with presence, a staple for the University for countless years to come," Crandall said. "I believe we've achieved this goal while leveraging the traditions of the past and creating a focal point for the future."
Student Senate President Elizabeth Motazedi, senior from Joplin, Missouri, who is majoring in social studies education with an emphasis in history, said the sculpture will become a focal point on the Northwest campus that evokes memories and helps create new ones.
"Many things have changed, but something that will remain is this Bearcat statue," Motazedi said. "We have a saying here at Northwest that goes, 'Once a Bearcat, always a Bearcat.' This statue will stay forever, in its moment in time for many, whether it reminds students of the time their parents made them get a photo, a sign of good luck or some of the best years of their life, each student can come to this statue to remember and know that once a Bearcat, always a Bearcat."
Dr. John Jasinski served as president of Northwest from 2009 until departing last spring in addition to serving the University from 1986 to 2001 as a faculty member, department chair and associate provost. Under his leadership, the University maintained peer-leading metrics across measures such as retention, graduation, placement, student satisfaction, student engagement and composite financial index as part of its proud history of performance excellence.
Denise, in addition to serving as Northwest's first lady, was a homemaker, raising the couple's four children and two dogs. She also was an active community member, volunteering as executive director of the Maryville Downtown Improvement Organization, at St. Gregory Barbarigo Parish and its Catholic school, and with North Star Advocacy Center, a resource for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. She also worked at Northwest from 1991 to 1998 as the academic coordinator for Upward Bound.
While the Jasinskis could not attend Saturday's dedication, Joe, the second of their four children, was present on their behalf.
"This statue, Bobby Bearcat, represents all that's good about Northwest – the high performance culture, good people focused on achieving great things together, and of course, being a Bearcat, learning, connecting, caring, and showing pride," Joe said. "It represents a town built on family values, a special community, a special family. I know my parents are deeply grateful not only for this incredible honor but for each and every moment our family was blessed to have living here with all of you. They gave so much of themselves in uplifting Northwest in the community and our entire family is extremely thankful to have been a part of a much larger effort to enhance the standing of both the university and our community."

more on KatH:
Genre-defiant indie rockers Kat and the Hurricane return with their first original single since their breakout "The Sorry EP." Based in Madison, Wisconsin, Kat and the Hurricane is an all-queer and trans trio of lead singer/guitarist Kat Rhapsody (they/them), keyboardist/vocalist Benjamin Rose (they/them), and drummer Alex Nelson (they/them).
An anthemic reminder that there's always a way home to yourself, the new single "On My Way Back" blends nostalgic alt-rock production with pop sensibility, blending synths, addictive guitar riffs, and the band's signature soaring harmonies. A perfect song for summer, the new single arrives right as Kat and the Hurricane begins a summer of festivals and venue appearances across the Midwest, with a full U.S. tour planned in the fall.
"What started as an acoustic folk song has evolved into a dance anthem that is unlike anything we've written before. This song confronts dormant memories from a past chapter in life, fully acknowledging the acquired damage and aftermath, all while navigating the road back to your former self – a version of you before the hurt." – Kat Rhapsody
"On My Way Back represents everything I love about Kat and the Hurricane: guitar riffs that take you back to the indie rock world of decades past, exciting synths, striking ensemble vocals, and a powerful message. This song makes me want to dance, laugh, and cry all at the same time. It represents a brand new era, taking the band to new sonic heights...this is just the beginning." - Benjamin Rose
"As humans, we often look outside ourselves for healing, whether that's in other people, partners, vices, etc. And that's the painful part - we have to turn inward to face our shadows and build our relationship with ourselves in order to make the greatest strides in our healing journey." – Alex Nelson

Learning objectives:
Each lesson is divided into two parts, where the first part usually involves listening and analysis of the selected score and the second part involves the discussion of the chosen topic. Instruction is supplemented by reading selected texts and their subsequent interpretation. The course aims to connect the students' existing knowledge to broader contexts. The analytical focus is mainly on compositions of the second half of the 20th century to the present. The selection of scores is not limited to Euro-American art music, but seeks to cover as wide a cultural and aesthetic range as possible (e.g. ethnic music, film and stage music, multimedia, etc.). Ample space is given to the distinctive compositional movements of contemporary music, which are discussed within the following thematic areas.
Thematic areas:
- Contemporary American music - the youngest generation (A. Norman, N. Muhly, C. Shaw, M. Mazzoli, J. Greenstein, etc.)
- French Musique saturée (R. Cendo, F. Bedrossian, Y. Robin, etc.)
- Third Viennese School? (B. Furrer, B. Lang, P. Ablinger, etc.)
- A new spirituality? (J. Tavener, A. Part, G. Kancheli, J. Franssens, J. MacMillan, etc.)
- The heritage of spectral music (J. Harvey, G-F. Haas, K. Saariaho, C. Vivier, J. Anderson, etc.)
- The legacy of G. Ligeti (T. Adés, U. Chin, E-S Tuur, A. Thorvaldsdottir, etc.)
- The New Simplicity (L. Crane, J. Cage, M. Smolka, etc.)
- Danish music (P. Norgard, H. Abrahamsen, B. Sorensen, etc.)
Learning outcomes
Expanding of the knowledge and context of contemporary musical production. To foster a critically rigorous but non-dogmatic perspective on various types of compositional thinking, including persuasive argumentation. Understanding of the cultural roots and conceptual starting points of the compositional aesthetics discussed, and knowledge of the compositional techniques used. Ability to apply the acquired knowledge creatively.

Portfolio offers a wide range of support and customizability to allow it to be used for a variety of purposes. To this end and to keep it as straightforward as possible, Portfolio splits its interface into two main sections: viewing and configuration. The configuration section is divided by area (e.g., Content, Appearance, Backup, etc). Once you have a general idea of which area is responsible for which aspect of the app it becomes much easier to quickly tweak a color, add an image, hide a gallery, or present to a client.
The front screen functions as the launch pad for the rest of the app, providing the navigational functions for your galleries and for accessing the management areas. The configure button at the top right corner provides access to the rest of the app.
This is the screen that is displayed first after launch. It will display all of the galleries and folders you've chosen to display in the gallery manager.
Tapping on the configure button will open up the configuration area allowing you to select the area you'd like to edit or to lock the app.
All configuration is handled from the various sub-sections of the configuration screen: adding, removing, and editing of the gallery hierarchy under Manage Galleries, the front theme and overall appearance under Customize Appearance, and backup up or restoring of the library under Backup/Restore.
Appearance customization is handled completely in the appearance customization panel and includes the splash screen, external screen placeholder, and viewer appearance. If it's part of the appearance of the app (other than your content) then it's in this panel.
The gallery management panel is responsible for all content loading and editing, which includes both the gallery/folder structure and the media to be shown. In this panel you can create the gallery and folder hierarchy, selectively hide or show them, configure per-gallery settings such as the slideshow soundtrack and metadata overlays, and add or edit gallery content.
The content you load into Portfolio can be spread across a gallery and folder hierarchy you create. Folders and galleries in Portfolio function similarly to their counterparts on a computer: folders and files. Folders contain other folders and galleries while galleries contain the content. If you view it, it's contained within a gallery while folders are there to let you divide up your galleries into different groupings. Folders are only for organizational purposes.
See also:
You can customize the splash screen, external screen placeholder (shown when not in the viewer), various colors, and the title at the front.
To help with deploying across multiple iPhones and iPads and to allow multiple sets of content Portfolio provides the ability to export and import the library.
A more detailed overview of backing up and restoring the library is available.
The viewer is responsible for actually displaying your content and any interaction with it. Viewing images, playing videos, and browsing PDFs are all done within the viewer. Tapping any gallery from the front launches the viewer with that gallery set as the content source. Where possible, the behaviors of the viewer from swiping left or right to switch items to pinching to zoom have been based on the native Photos app.
Using the viewer is also covered in more detail in Basic Viewing.

SHC orders action against Manghopir police for staging fake encounter
KARACHI (92 News) - The Sindh High Court (SHC) on Tuesday ordered action against a police team for staging a fake encounter in Karachi's Manghopir area last year.
A division bench of the SHC directed the SSP concerned to take action against the cops involved in the 2019 encounter in which one suspect was killed while two others injured. The police's version of the encounter is fiction-based, the court observed.
The bench noted 12 bullets hit one of the suspects in the chest but no bullet was fired by them, wondering not a single cop got injured in the purported shootout. "When no bullet was fired from the opposite direction, why cops fired so many bullets?" asked a member of the bench.
The court ordered the SSP concerned to take action against the police party within seven days and submit an inquiry report within 15 days. The bench acquitted two suspects named Mohammad Sohail and Sherullah.

Denmark is one of the best places in the world when it comes to wellbeing, happiness and quality of life, according to the UN World Happiness Reports.
Denmark, currently the second happiest country on earth (Finland is the first one!), is now home to The Happiness Museum, an institution dedicated to the idea of happiness and how it has been perceived and discussed over the centuries.
The Happiness Museum, which is curated by The Happiness Research Institute, explores the geography, politics, history and future of happiness, the anatomy of smiles, and Nordic happiness.
The Happiness Museum officially opened on July 14 in a small 240-squaremeter (2,585 square foot) space in Copenhagen.
The Museum of Happiness has the capacity for 25 visitors at a time during the coronavirus pandemic. It also features interactive activities, mental experiments and artifacts of happiness.
Visitors will take part in exercises involving light and chocolate, as well as take part in thought experiments. One experiment involves the choice of taking a red pill or a blue pill, one will give you the illusion of a perfect life and the other gives you the chance to live in the real world. Which one would you choose?
"We believe that being here together, enjoying the moment, is a form of happiness because we are creating our memories for the future," said visitor Maria Have.
"We Danes often hear that we are among the happiest people in the world. Here, we want to enter, give nuances and convey what it really is," said Wiking, CEO of The Happiness Research Institute,.
"We might be Danish or Mexican or American or Chinese, but we are first and foremost people," Wiking said to CNN. "It's the same things that drive happiness no matter where we're from, and I hope that people will see that in the exhibition." "I hope visitors will see how alike we are when it comes to happiness – that our guests exit the museum wiser, happier and a little more motivated to make the world a better place."
What is the future of happiness? Will our phones know how we feel? 🙂
As the Happiness Museum tries to share with its guests, happiness is a feeling that evolves and takes some nurturing both from society and from within. Work at it enough, and you'll be better equipped to find the silver linings in these stormy days.

Dara O Briain interview: Independence Day, videogames, 2012, Twitter, stand-up and Gillian McKeith
As he launches his brand new stand-up DVD and Blu-ray, Dara O Briain spares us some time for a chat about films, comedy, his legendary videogame routine, and more…
Walking into the room where I was set to interview Dara O Briain, it suddenly came to me where I'd seen it before. It was the very same place where he recorded the excellent drinking session commentary for his new DVD, alongside Ed Byrne and Andy Parsons.
The room was adorned with gold discs for DVD sales, although Dara confessed that he didn't put his own on the walls of his office (he did, however, have a cracking story about somebody who did). But from there, our conversation swiftly turned to the film 2012, which Dara dissects expertly in his brand new stand-up DVD, This Is The Show. So we figured we might just start our chat by talking about the director of said film…
You broke Roland Emmerich.
[Big smile] In what way have I broken him?
Because I figure, off the back of your gig [where Dara spends a section discussing the frailties of the film 2012], he announced he was to do a low budget film for his next project. Did you catch this story?
[Gasps with glee] I did not!
It was said that he was going to do a $5m 'found footage' movie called The Zone, which has now also been canned. So he was doing this antithesis to 2012, and clearly it's now all fallen apart because of you.
I am so proud of that! Because I was never convinced by Independence Day…
It's half a film.
Yeah, exactly. And also, half the film is V, followed by half of Star Wars, where the single shot goes into the thing and blows up, tumbles to the ground in an impressive way and they all jump around. It was homage in every direction! Mainly V, though, which itself was stolen from Arthur C Clarke. It's not bad geek credentials to bring it back to him.
So, I was angry with that anyway. But also because I saw Independence Day twice in the cinema. Once on holiday in Cancun in Mexico, which was full of Americans whooping and cheering. And then I went to see it in Dublin.
It was a jammed, Savoy one-screen cinema, and they got to the bit "This is our independence day", that speech that Bill Pullman does. And this woman started laughing. She got a fit of the giggles and couldn't stop herself. Every line of the film Pullman said, she would laugh again. And eventually, the whole room was in tears laughing at this shit. It was like the child pointing at the Emperor's New Clothes, saying this is so silly, I'm so sorry.
And she was apologising for laughing, but every time they laid another cliché on top of it all, she'd laugh again. And it wasn't knowing, it wasn't sharp or shrill the laugh, it was just a genuine oh-my-God, this is hilarious. And everyone just fell around.
Were both screenings equally as good in their own way, though?
In a way they were both memorable, yeah. But I felt more at home, I have to say, at the second screening. They were more my people!
Did you see The Day After Tomorrow, then?
Yeah, yeah.
Where the penicillin didn't freeze?
[Laughs] What are the chances that there was going to be bad science in The Day After Tomorrow!
The other thing you put in this gig is your extensive videogame routine. And you noted on the disc in the extras that this was something you reckon you couldn't have done until now.
Yeah. I'd say I couldn't have done it even two years ago. Possibly could've.
But what changed? Was that you and your confidence in it, or the audience?
I made the observations, as general as they are, but I don't think gaming was as mainstream two years ago, and it certainly wasn't four years ago. I think that the age profile of gaming has gone up. That generation has become this generation.
That young Atari, Spectrum, C64 generation is now the people at home, 35, still playing the games. It might be a tipping point. If people come to the show between 15 and 37, now more than half of them fall into gaming. And that's enough to get away with a routine like that.
And I have the bit now where I point out the people who are sitting, looking bewildered by the whole routine. There'd just be one man, like a meerkat, in the middle, sitting up ramrod straight. He'd be going "what is this man saying. He's just waddling on stage!"
Even when it got to doing Live At The Apollo, we're like 'what do we take for that'?. We said well, we've got to take the gaming. And there was a small element of gamble, but it goes big for the people it really hits.
You debuted it at BAFTA?
No, the first time it really came out was on Charlie Brooker's show.
Yeah. And it's after that I thought that, if you simply added me waddling, that it could work as a routine.
But we never felt we could finish with it. It doesn't have enough of the whip crack to say thank you very much, goodnight, at the end. Even though I think it's the funniest, solid funny thing at that point in the show, you couldn't actually end on it.
You've talked about stuff that ordinarily your audience wouldn't know coming into a gig in the past, of course, but you've always worked an explanation into the act. Also, a lot of your book, Tickling The English, is about measuring the audience.
So this is what I couldn't reconcile, because I'm intrigued as to why gaming wouldn't work beforehand. For want of a better phrase, is there an element of you getting better and more confident with the material?
Yeah, yeah. But I know what essential details to give an audience so as not to bog the routine down.
Ed [Byrne], in this very room, angrily gave out to me for getting away with doing routines about things that aren't generally well known. Maybe I've devised a skill for it, by breaking down the hard ground with the homeopathy routine in the last show, where I do say you're going to have to come with me a little bit on this. Or maybe I've got better, and hopefully I have, and I'm learning more about how to do this.
But as well as that, there's more trust from them [the audience] for me. And that they're more likely to go with me. They think we don't know where he's going with this, but we've worked with this guy before. Let's hang in with him for a while and see where he's going to take this.
So perhaps as you get better known and people get more used to you, you can take that kind of chance. I do measure gigs in terms of how far they come to me, and how far I have to go to them. But I do get to the point now where I can relax a bit, and think they're pretty much going to come to me.
If all else fails, there are always new films you can take the piss out of!
Yeah, they are always new films. The problem is finding a film with a comedy angle.
Some are just crap.
Yeah. And the neutrinos [from 2012] can be a tough sell.
Well, appreciating 2012 is your shell, if you analyse what it actually was that you were talking about and explaining in that routine, I'm still sat there thinking 'but you're explaining neutrinos'! That in itself is a tough subject for a comedy gig!
True enough, yeah, yeah, yeah! The neutrinos is a cheap pay-off, let's not forget. It is a really silly pay-off. But I do ask the audience to be outraged by the phrase "the neutrinos have mutated", when most of them have no idea what it means. And you can smell sometimes that they weren't as shocked by the bad science of it as I was! But when you go "the neutrinos" – pause – "have mutated", and you don't have any laugh, you think this is going to be an interesting one now…!
But I have gone wilfully more nerdy in this show.
Very much.
It's hugely nerdy. And I even say it's going to be slightly nerdy at the start. And then every routine from here to the end is essentially a nerdy routine!
Because going through your book, I read intently the list of who was in the audience each night, and you did it on Twitter for this tour as well. And your audience had real geek credentials. You uncovered a Second Life programmer at one point…
Oh, yes, yes!
If I'd been sat in the audience at that point, I'd have been away. But I remember you saying at the time that you moved away from it very quickly.
That was because while Second Life was a media phenomenon, it wasn't a general one. And there is an important distinction between the stuff that you and I know from our corner of Twitter. The tweet I sent the other week about Robin Hood airport…
This was the one you were very pleased with?
[Dara tweeted, as part of the protest against the Twitter joke trial appeal verdict, which was going around with the #iamspartacus hashtag, "Robin Hood! All your base are belong to us! Somebody set up us the Bomb!"]
Yeah! Because I was sitting in a car, and doing the I Am Spartacus thing and joining in. And then, the two bits in my deeply hungover mind came into place.
I was sitting silently in the car next to the tour manager for Ireland, who had collected me from the tour manager for the UK, and the three of us had got pissed in Derry. She was really, really not at the races. And I sat there and suddenly went 'oh God, this would be so good. I hope nobody's done this'.
And then I sat there nervously checking I'd put the words in the right order, because I didn't want to say "You have set us up the bomb". That's the last thing you want to write. So I got the thing down, "all your base are belong to us", and I sent it, this little nerdy bomb of joy. And then I put the phone down, but kept checking it!
For the rest of the day, she was sat beside me, and I said "I've just done a great joke that you won't understand". And I read it to her and she said "I don't understand that". She's like, I don't get it. And then I'd read her things like "LOL. Dara wins the Internet". And then it went on Channel 4 News, and CBS News. And all the time she's going "why?".,
Then my wife rang me at the end of the day, and she said how's your day? Very good. Funnily enough, I wrote a tweet that appeared on Channel 4 News. She said what was it, and I read it to her, and she said "what the fuck does that mean?!"
But we have our own little corner of [Twitter], and it is beautiful. It's about indulging yourself without over-indulging yourself, though.
It's dangerous now with Twitter, too, because it's now treated as a legitimate news source. You touched on it there.
Oh yeah.
Look at Stephen Fry. One person's tweet there generated how many pages of coverage in the media?
Yes. It is in an awkward half-light, transitional phase between spoken word and written word. That murky ground between the two, where we'd like to be able to grab it back.
My view of what Twitter is, is that it's the open plan office experience on a massive scale. You're working away on something, you hear a conversation, and you join in, or you shout across the office and they shout back. You can grab them into a private room.
And in your head, you're doing that thing of thinking "I'm not going to say that to you now, I'll say it privately". But most of the time you'll go "hey, did you see whatever last night", and somebody else will join in because they hear you. And it is an open plan office for people, just with 200,000 chairs or whatever.
It's that dynamic, and I think that people in traditional media think it's been put on a Twitter page as an announcement, as if it's a press release or something.
I get the same rush from it, because Emma Thompson included me in a Tweet. Somebody sent a thing to her saying do you know anything about Bill Bailey, Ross Noble or Dara O Briain. And she put, 28 years in Hollywood, and this woman asks me about them!
So I sent her a thing and said if you're ever stuck, just make shit up about me. It's a win-win for me. An hour later, her reply pops up with "Remember those rumours in the 90s about Tom Cruise' sexuality? Other man was @daraobriain."
I was like, "yaaaay". You get the same rush. It's amazingly democratising, and normalising.
For better or worse, as well.
Yeah, absolutely. And it may take the sheen off things. And people can't stand press release talk.
It's kind of awkward, because we haven't best worked out how to mention product, generally. And it is awkward because I want to say that hey, I know loads of you would be interested in this, and this is what I do, this is my passion. But you know that people will go "do you have to spend all your time selling"? People get fucking livid about trying to get any plug at all!
It's weird, though. I have people I only know through it!
[For some reason, we then got onto talking, briefly, about Uwe Boll and Topher Grace, before normal service was resumed…]
I'm excited to hear about the Blood Rayne guy's take on the Holocaust…!
Uwe Boll?
He's a great interviewee.
I'm sure.
It's weird, because he's not dim at all. He's a very intelligent man, and he works the tax breaks for film making arguably better than anyone on the planet. The man's a genius, in his own way.
Have you ever seen 'What's up with Topher Grace'? What's that American site? Video Gum! They have a column checking what he's been up to. And it's an occasional look at Topher Grace's excursions into popular culture. Oh, to be the subject of an ironic column…!
Going back to your DVD, Ed Byrne, in the drinking game on the DVD, made interesting points.
Feel free to quote his questions!
I did quote him in a Back To The Future article, recently.
He does have strong views on Back To The Future. His central thesis is wrong [that Marty's parents would recognise Marty as the person who brought them together]. That they would recognise this person who you spent a week with, 20 years earlier. I don't think they would.
I disagree. I think he missed the big one, though, the fact that there are two DeLoreans by the time they all get to 1885…!
Ah, now, if you start bringing up the second film, I've never fully sat through it. I've sat through the third film. But I got warned off the second one, because nothing makes me angrier than a bad time travel movie!
Oh heck, you've got to watch it. You'll get three newspaper columns out of it, easily…
The thing I took out of the drinking game segment of the DVD was the Ed talks about how you basically use the crowd as your support act.
Yes. That is a part of it. It breaks the ice, they have more to say. The way I look at it is that I should be ten or twenty times better than them at telling a story. But there's still a thousand of 2000 there. So if you add it up, they are collectively 100 times better than me.
That's such the nerd's way to do it…
Yeah! And I can even see the graph in my head!
It is a case, though, of getting it out of them. The one I'm going to stop doing is what do you do for a living. I'm over that now. I'm getting more lies, which I prefer.
You've been overtly asking for lies from your audience too?
Yeah, I've just asked them to lie.
You've structured your show in the past around the audience. So you always seem to turn up somebody who works in IT, which gets you into the peeing on a stick routine you had…?
Yeah, you're right. But now it's gone the way of that I used to do, years ago, lots of "where are you from". Then you realise that you're trotting the same stuff out. National characteristics, too. I think, then, that it's time to have a brief revolution, because one in three are great, and – more in the UK than Ireland – the rest of them don't care.
This year, for the first time, it might be they've seen this too often. And I'm not saying there's been a massive cultural shift where people are saying we've seen lots of comedy now, and we're less impressed by this, or people are colder about it and don't want to know. I said before that sometimes it's different when the job's very fragmented and very technical, but there seems to be less curiosity in the room.
In the bit where I recap at the end, it's 50/50 whether it's something that came from the start now, or one of the life-saving stories that I asked for. The dream thing I did at the start at the tour ended up being dropped, because it got boring. But it's 50/50 whether there's a good life-saving story, or just an unusual job or something. It has its purposes. But there will always be interaction.
When I saw the tour, we had a guy make a beautifully out-of-context comment about central locking that had us in stitches, that you simply couldn't write.
Absolutely. So they will take turns that you don't anticipate. And most of the time they're unrepeatable, because of the moment.
The last one I did in Southampton, there was a man who had a heart attack on a treadmill, and was coming off the treadmill at the end. And then he came off the treadmill, hit an exercise bike, which hit another exercise bike, and the entire class were going like dominoes. Sometimes you get a beautiful visual element, sometimes you don't.
The advantage of asking if you've ever saved a life, or committed a crime, is that you are hopefully tapping into stories they have told for ages. So they're "ah yeah, just listen"…
So it's already gone through the exaggeration phase?
Yeah, exactly. They remain a resource, but I've got to find ways to use them.
You have, in a weird way, an evening of honest lying, then?
The one trick I may use is something I did in Edinburgh called truth or liar. Throughout the show I got them to guess whether I'd been honest or dishonest. And I may do that again.
Incidentally, have you seen the final copy of the DVD yet?
No, not yet.
They've put a 'thank you for not pirating' this DVD message at the start of it.
Because they've turned the campaign around. In the old days, and you featured this in your gigs once, they did the old "you wouldn't steal a car" thing. And now it's a big thank you.
And half-way through this DVD, not only do you not chuck out someone who's illegally filming your DVD, you include their footage as a DVD extra.
[Laughs] That's good, I'm delighted!
Looking into the future, the retirement gig for comedians now is that you do a daytime TV show.
Oh God, that was always thus, though.
We've got Goldenballs with Jasper Carrot. Lucky Ladders. Even Noel Edmonds taking an hour to open boxes.
I've been offered at least one of those, and I went no, I'll keep that for the way down! It's the Monkhouse path through the 40s and 50s. There's a point where before you become a national treasure, and after you're hot, you go through 15 to 20 years of doing some sort of work. And that's where they come in.
Did you see Terry Wogan hosting Never Mind The Buzzcocks?
No, was he good?
He was great. And the strange thing was that 20 to 30 years ago, when he was doing his chat show on BBC One, nobody had a nice word for him. Now you've got the panellists on a show of that ilk who are deeply respectful of him.
You're always aware, and you'd be short-sighted if you weren't, how is this going to end. Hopefully still on stage, possibly not Ken Dodd…
Actually, no. I quite like the Ken Dodd thing. I don't think there's anything sad or wrong with it. It's the only option is that, or the Ronnie Barker approach, to quietly say that was wonderful, and I'll go and do something else.
But not in the jungle. Never in the jungle.
They've just sent Gillian McKeith there, haven't they?
[Big grin] They have, yeah. [Dara's debut DVD featured a spectacularly good deconstruction of Gillian McKeith and her "methods"]
McKeith and Emmerich, you've taken them both down?
It is a pleasure to have had people finally come to me about the original McKeith material! [laughs]
So where next? You've already said you're going to tour again in 2012?
Yeah. I'll start previewing this time next year. Do it again in 2012, again in 2014, and we'll see where we are at that stage. But I am a stage animal. So I'll have to do it in some shape or form, talking in front of a crowd.
Is there anything else lined up? Are you going back in a boat?
We've got one more boat thing, at the start of the year. And I'm possibly doing a science thing at the start of the year, but it's not definite.
I've got all my quantum mechanics books out again, I'm going back into that. I just want to do something with a different part of the brain for a while. And then I'll come back to writing jokes again. But I've got more Apprentice, more Mock…
Dara O Briain, thank you very much.

Reviews: Koyl's contribution to Silber's long-running "5 in 5" series, mini-EPs (if that's not a contradiction in terms) with five one-minute long songs making a five-minute-long whole, has a loose "five fingers" theme to it, with tracks named after your trigger finger or flipping the bird with your middle finger. I'll be honest, I don't hear how this translates to the miniature pieces themselves, but it's a quaint idea for sure. Predominantly this is meandering guitar improvisation over some dark and distant drones and rhythmic beds, and it's expertly done. Even within the space of five minutes, there's plenty of variety. "Versus" is a strong intro that could easily have warranted several more minutes on its own, that flows continuously into the slide guitar and faintly Wild West tone of "Pulling The Trigger". "Flipping The Bird", with its faintly church-like ambience and relatively cheery loose melody wandering over a warm sustained chord, segues into the inversion of "La Corde Au Cou" as the chord bed turns dark and sinister, before dropping away to allow "Yubitsume" to run as a slightly sweet arpeggio loop that rounds things off nicely. Other releases in the "5 in 5" series can sometimes feel like sampler items, 1-minute extracts from longer pieces, whereas this release almost completely escapes that problem and manages to create a work which stands up as a strong 5-minute mini-adventure that definitely makes me want to check out further Koyl releases. ~ Stuart Bruce, Chain DLK Koyl's 5in5 on Silber Records shows what can be done with limited time, but maximum creativity Silber Records have just released a trio of EP's by Premature Burial, Cloaca and Koyl. Each EP is five minutes long and showcases the bands individual talents and tastes. The 5in5 series offers musicians a chance to experiment, but due to tight time restrictions they can't go off on bizarre tangents. With giving the musicians a short time frame, every second counts. Like The Residents' Commerical Album, Koyl doesn't have time to waste before getting to the crux of the piece. Over five minutes Indian influences are merge with drone and walls of guitar soundscapes. Although Fingerprints is a collection of five, one minute ones it's actually a five minute suite divided into five parts. Each part seamlessly flows into the next, and when you play it on a loop, it becomes just that. A never ending loop of minimal noises, sounds, textures, melodies and sound. In all fairness, what could be better than that, what could be better than that, wh what could be better than that, what could be better than that… ~ ThisYearInMusic Staying with Silber's 5 in 5 series, Koyl serve up 'fingerprints' – perhaps of all the releases from this recent batch, this is one that manages to shoehorn the most ideas and musical phrasings. Each track apparently dedicated to a finger on the hand with the rather trippy dust plains spiritual 'versus' opening up proceedings and gently freefalling into 'pulling the trigger' which unless my ears do deceive sumptuously navigates terrains previously occupied by Grails. Best moment without doubt, the angelic and dare I say beautifully eerie 'flipping the bird' whose bitter sweet repose somehow manages to capture, step and fill the finite fault line existing between Ennio Morricone and John Barry. 'la corde au cou' tenses the mood a smidgeon sounding as though its stepped straight from a classic 70's horror giallo before the flighty and decidedly binary funk struck 'yubitsime' sweetly orbits its way to the finishing line beneath the vapour trailing shadow of boards of Canada. ~ Mark Barton, The Sunday Experience The first finger that Koyl named 'Versus' we get served a Buddhist temple atmosphere in which guests ring the bells for the gods in the sky to notice them. When these gods quickly come down to earth, it's time to hear the reasonable soundtrack of yet another finger dubbed 'Pulling the trigger'. It's a moment of lighted incense, magic lamps and ancient wisdom, performed by fingering the strings of a snare like instrument instead of a pistol. Is this also the theme track for when someone ask you to pull their finger, with a fart as a result? A moment of truth and revelation comes while listening to the finger titled 'Flipping the bird'. It's a quick melodic moment that humbles the listener down in rapid speed. It's all going down so quick, making it hard to capture if you haven't got a reasonable amount of attention. Also short but effective is the next finger 'La corde au cou' which comes in like a dark shadowy ghost hanging close to the floor, slipping like a shine-through spirit from one corridor to another. It all happens so quick; photo proof will be hard to find. The five fingers of this EP becomes complete with the last audio finger track of 'Yubitsume', a minimal funk moment with experimental sounds. It's pretty nice but will pass by rather quick again, making me feel like it's best to play with each of these fingers on repeat as a loop, as otherwise it just passes by like an interesting, but quickly edible snack. ~ Yeah I Know It Sucks |
