|Fast Radio Bearer Establishment in a Mobile Communication System - The invention relates to methods for establishing a radio bearer between a network element terminating radio resource control protocol and a mobile terminal. The invention provides RNC for establishing a radio bearer between the RNC and a mobile terminal, especially adapted mobile terminals and a system comprising the network element and at least one mobile terminal. In order to reduce the delays implied by the signaling in the procedure the invention proposes two mechanisms. The first mechanism aims at reducing the delay implied by setting up the radio link for the radio bearer by preconfiguring a pool of resources comprising a set of at least radio bearer configuration and making the available radio bearer configurations known to the mobile terminals. The second mechanism aims at avoiding the delay implied by the explicit assignment of a radio network temporary identifier by signaling a set of available identifiers from which the mobile terminal may choose an identifier.
|MANAGEMENT OF SESSION CONTROL SIGNALING FOR MULTICAST/BROADCAST SERVICES - The invention relates to a method for distributing control signaling for session control of a multicast or broadcast service within a mobile communication network. Furthermore the invention also provides a base station, mobile terminal and communication system to perform the proposed method. In order to reduce the number of signaling connections for the service, the invention proposes to avoid the initial distribution of session control signaling in the entire mobile communications network or service area. Rather than providing service related control signaling connections upon session start, the control signaling connections are set up in response to service requests of the mobile terminals requesting the service. According to one further aspect, the mobile terminals send the service requests based on service announcements available at the mobile terminals, i.e. in contrast to conventional implementations, the mobile terminals do not await a notification of the access network on the availability of the service within the cell.
|MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, NETWORK MANAGEMENT APPARATUS, MACROCELL BASE STATION APPARATUS, AND INTERFERENCE CONTROL METHOD - A mobile communication system wherein the upstream radio channel interference of a macrocell connection terminal with a femtocell base station can be reduced while the consumption of radio resources caused by increase in signaling is being suppressed.

When a mobile terminal connected to the HeNB and communicating with a communication destination node using a first path through the L-PGW switches a connection destination to the eNB, the HeNB establishes a second path through the HeNB and the PGW, while maintaining the first path. The HeNB transmits data, which has been transmitted to the HeNB along the first path, to the eNB along the second path, until the UE is connected to the eNB, and a third path to the communication destination node through the PGW is established. Accordingly, an interruption time of data reception involved in handover is shortened.

Wow it's here. 2016. It's just unbelievable, how time passes. So Happy New Year lovely readers! Did you have a good holiday break? Mine was just lovely. Lots of family and friend time - just perfect :)
I'm not going to write a long list of new years resolutions, because throughout the year I'm always trying to improve, be more efficient, get fitter, perfect everything a little more! The list goes on..... But one of my aims is to post more often. My blog takes a hit when I have lots going on (evident in this past advent giveaway). Now is one of those times as the shop is really busy and I am working on a couple of interior projects. It's all good and I am very lucky, but my blog is such a major part of my personal and professional life, that I have to give it some love! So lovely people, thanks for sticking by whilst the posting has been sparse. I endeavour to serve you better!

The Britax Bob Revolution Pro pushchair is perfect for outdoor trips. It has excellent off-road wheels, a very useful hand brake and a huge sun shade (which does, however, sit awkwardly on baby's head when extended).
The seat is super comfy – with extra padding and loads of room, as well as a recline feature. It has plenty of storage space and adjustable handles but it's a beast! The pushchair's large proportions, whilst great for outdoor adventuring, are not conducive to the practicalities of everyday use. Its not freestanding and its size makes it not only difficult to store but barely able to fit into an average car boot. It's also heavy.
The Revolution Pro is definitely a specialist product, aimed at 'outdoorsy' families with a huge car and acres of space (like, 4x4s in the countryside). It might not be ideal for city dwellers but it's brilliant for country living.
Taking into account the pushchair's intended purpose, the price is high but the product is worth it!

Carnegie Mellon Professor Randy Pausch (Oct. 23, 1960 – July 25, 2008) gave his last lecture at the university Sept. 18, 2007, before a packed McConomy Auditorium, knowing he just had a few months left to live. In his moving presentation, "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams," Pausch talked about his lessons learned and gave advice to students on how to achieve their own career and personal goals.

Reader 30-Day Challenges
Wow, my innocent query "What change do YOU need to make for the next 30 days?" has inspired quite a few of you to join me in this challenge! Here's what we have so far:
- I'm giving up coffee
- Christine is starting the Core Performance Essentials program, a fitness plan that I really like
- VeggieRunnr (from Veggie Runnr) is giving up cheese (and has encouraged her readers to take the challenge! See her post about it.)
- Holly (from The Healthy Everythingtarian) is going to reduce the amount of coffee she drinks
- Colleen and Joel are giving up soda
- Jeffrey is going big and giving up soda, alcohol, chips and cookies!
- Krys (from Two Vegan Boys) is giving up coffee
- Katherine (from A Runner Wife's Life) is giving up dessert
- Pete (of guest post fame) is giving up all caffeine and running a 5k
- Angie is giving up all red meat, pork, and poultry, and exercising 3o mins/day (wow!)
- Laura is going to walk a mile and run four flights of stairs each day (change doesn't have to mean giving something up)
- My mother is going to limit herself to 1200 calories per day (I really need to get her eating plan together so she can stop this self-torture!)
- Nicole (from Goddess of Everything) is giving up emotional eating, and mentioned this challenge on her blog
A lot of good is happening here, people! I started three days ago, VeggieRunnr started when she aborted her plans for pizza a few days ago, and I'm not sure if the rest of you have started. If not, why not make your official start right now? Don't wait! How many times have you heard someone say "I'm not smoking anymore after this pack is done"? If you have to wait, then you don't really want to change. Start now! Need extra motivation to stick with it? Brag about your blogosphere fame by showing this post to as many people as you can, so that you'll never hear the end of it if you wimp out on your commitment ("Share on Facebook," hint, hint)! This is the way to make it a "must," not a "should." And for you stragglers, it's still not too late; just leave a comment with your 30-day commitment and I'll add you to the list.
I'm doing just fine without the coffee, though of course I still crave it. I've been drinking loose green tea, which (according to my extensive and official internet research) has about one-eighth the caffeine content of coffee. And trust me, I don't drink nearly as much green tea as I did coffee, so my caffeine intake is a tiny fraction of what it was. Hooray for change! This morning I had my tea with some Wasa crispbreads and almond butter.
Eat 'n' Run
Erin and I made smoky black bean and cheddar burritos with baby spinach last night, our first repeated dinner since I started this blog over two months ago. This approachable meal was one of the first that a lot of readers tried, and everyone who makes it seems to love it. Especially with those toasted pepitas!
Interestingly, someone commented that the tortillas I used back then actually contain lard, which, in addition to being an animal product, has the virtue of being disgusting. This time I bought lard-free (actually, vegan) Nature's Promise Organic Whole Wheat Tortillas. Their ingredient list is so much shorter than that of any other tortilla brand I saw. I love Nature's Promise stuff! And it's the Giant organic store brand, so it's cheap too.
I went for an easy seven-mile run on the trail yesterday, foregoing my track workout since my half marathon is Sunday and my knee doesn't need that kind of abuse. It felt tight for the first minute or two of the run, but after that everything was completely fine. In the spirit of taking it easy, I didn't bring a watch, iPod, or heart rate monitor. Unplugging once in a while is good for the runner's soul.
I must say I'm getting nervous about my race on Sunday. I suppose it's because I just haven't logged in that many good runs with all the rest I've given to my knee. And I really wonder how it's going to hold up to my pushing it hard over rolling hills for 13.1 miles. Or how I'm going to hold up. I worry about overestimating my fitness level and going out way too fast. But that's just how I am; I can't pace myself for anything less than a personal best. If I'm not shooting for something great, then I'd just as soon stay in bed on Sunday morning.

The other justification for high CAPE ratios is that the risk aversion of investors has gone down relative to previous decades. While talking about low risk perception this week might not sound right, the reality is that the years while the stock market had CAPE ratios of around 17 where also the years where academics wondered about why risk aversion was so high among investors (what we called the equity risk premium).

My Response to Shiller on Stock Prices and Historical P-E's

Very nice piece.
There are some issues with the 'Stocks are best' belief.
Things to consider in no particular order;
The sequence of returns
The life span of Homo Sapiens
The duration of equities
The volatility (which you got into to some degree)
The effect of living standard transitions on expected returns
The Possible versus the Probable (given the above issues)
The stress of what is quite possibly for the average investor 'too much' risk

The historical record of American stocks I don't think shows that much risk over the long run. As Wharton Finance professor Jeremy Siegel notes in "Stocks for the Long Run", 5th ed., going back to 1802, there has never been any 20 year period where real stock returns were negative (page 85). And the worst 30 year period for stocks ever recorded was a positive 2.6% real return (page 94), so even the worst 30 year period ever for stocks was as about as good as an average period for long term government bonds, and long-term government bonds, in contrast to stocks, have had negative real returns, sometimes very negative (page 85).
With regard to time horizon and human lifespan, the horizon only has to get to 20 years before stocks start looking pretty safe, but if you have children, the horizon for money saved for their benefit can easily be 50 years, or much longer.

Pope Francis prayed that the `'roar of arms may cease" in Syria and Iraq, and that peace would come in Africa for Nigeria, Kenya, South Sudan, Sudan and Congo.
He recalled the young people, many of them targeted because they were Christians, killed last week in a Kenyan university, and lamented kidnappings, by Islamic extremists, that have plagued parts of Africa, including Nigeria.
"We ask the risen Lord for the gift of peace for Nigeria, South Sudan and for the various areas of Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. May constant prayer rise up from all people of goodwill for those who lost their lives — I think in particular of the young people who were killed last Thursday at Garissa University College in Kenya — for all who have been kidnapped, and for those forced to abandon their homes and their dear ones." he said in his "urbi et orbi" address, Latin for "to the city (Rome) and to the world."

On most newer cars, the manufactures have moved away from using timing chains and have started using timing belts. The timing belt sits behind a cover, towards the front of the engine. This belt is used to synchronize the rotation of the engine's camshaft/s to the engine's crankshaft. It ensures that the engine's valves open and close at the proper times. The timing belt is often mistaken with a vehicle's serpentine belt. A serpentine belt can be seen from the engine compartment and usually operates most of the vehicles accessories (ie: alternator, air conditioning, etc.). Since the actual timing belt is covered and out of site, it is usually forgotten about. Timing belts are maintained on a service interval since they are a wear item that will break if not tended to in the interval listed by the manufacturer. The service interval usually ranges between 90,000-120,000 miles. Some cars are even as low as 60,000 miles. Call today to see when yours needs to be replaced.
On a lot of vehicles, the water pump is ran off of the timing belt. In almost all cases we recommend replacing the water pump, tensioner and idler pullies at the same time as the timing belt. Since the timing belt is not easy to get to, it makes more sense to replace these parts at the same time, rather than hope that they will last another 90,000-120,000 miles. Keep in mind that if these parts fail, it could result in the same consequence as a broken timing belt.
What happens if my timing belt breaks?
There are two different classifications for engines, interference and non-interference engines. For both engines, if the timing belt breaks, the engine will stop running and not be able to start. If your engine falls under the classification of a non-interference engine, replacing the timing belt, will solve your problem. If your vehicle has an interference engine, there is a very high possibility that when the timing belt broke your engine suffered valve to piston damage. This will usually damage the cylinder head beyond the point of repair and sometimes even results engine replacement.

Indeed, recent studies show that most men (unless they have certain health problems) are able to participate in and enjoy sex their entire life span, and many are able to produce viable semen until quite late in life (Pablo Picasso reportedly fathered a child at 90 years of age). Thus it is not completely surprising to discover that, in recent years, elderly men in senior housing apartments have become a regular source of clients among prostitutes.
Various factors can limit sexual interest and capacity in men as they age. There are a number of organic problems of the heart and circulatory system, glands and hormonal system, and the nervous system that can, to varying degrees, diminish male capacity for and interest in sex. And the side effects of many medications used to treat some of these organic conditions can themselves compound the problem.
Masters and Johnson originally reported that as much as 90 percent of male impotence has a psychological origin. Due to more sophisticated urological testing procedures it is now estimated that only about 40 percent of erectile problems are purely psychological.
The majority of causes of male impotence have their origin in hormonal, vascular or neurological factors. Regardless of the causes of erectile difficulty, there is always a psychological effect on the male. Men who experience an inability to achieve or sustain an erection on several occasions may be so anxious about inadequacy that a self-defeating process is initiated that causes them to avoid sexual situations and sexual arousal.
Other psychological factors, including depression, lowered self-esteem associated with overall loss of physical strength and the onset of physical signs of aging, anxiety, and substance abuse can all contribute to male impotence.

Public utility
A public utility (usually just utility) is an organization that maintains the infrastructure for a public service (often also providing a service using that infrastructure). Public utilities are subject to forms of public control and regulation ranging from local community-based groups to statewide government monopolies.
The term utilities can also refer to the set of services provided by these organizations consumed by the public: electricity, natural gas, water, and sewage. Broadband internet services (both fixed-line and mobile) are increasingly being included within the definition.[1][2][3][4][5]

United States
In the United States, public utilities are often natural monopolies because the infrastructure required to produce and deliver a product such as electricity or water is very expensive to build and maintain.[6] As a result, they are often government monopolies, or if privately owned, the sectors are specially regulated by a public utilities commission.[1][2][3] The first public utility in the United States was a grist mill on Mother Brook in Dedham, Massachusetts.[7]
Developments in technology have eroded some of the natural monopoly aspects of traditional public utilities. For instance, electricity generation, electricity retailing, telecommunication, some types of public transit and postal services have become competitive in some countries and the trend towards liberalization, deregulation and privatization of public utilities is growing, but the network infrastructure used to distribute most utility products and services has remained largely monopolistic.
Public utilities can be privately owned or publicly owned. Publicly owned utilities include cooperative and municipal utilities. Municipal utilities may actually include territories outside of city limits or may not even serve the entire city. Cooperative utilities are owned by the customers they serve. They are usually found in rural areas. Private utilities, also called investor-owned utilities, are owned by investors.[8][9][10]
Public utilities provide services at the consumer level, be it residential, commercial, or industrial consumer. In turn, utilities and very large consumers buy and sell electricity at the wholesale level through a network of RTOs and ISOs within one of three grids, the eastern grid, Texas, which is a single ISO, and the western grid.
Common classifications of utilities
- CCD – Community Choice Aggregation (electricity)
- CWD – county water district
- FCWCD – flood control and water conservation district
- FWSD – fresh water supply district
- ID – irrigation district
- IOU - investor-owned utility
- MWA – municipal water authority
- MWD – municipal water district
- MUD – municipal utility district
- POU – publicly owned utility
- PUD – public utility district
- WA – water agency
- WCID – water control and improvement district
- WD – water district
- WS – water system
- WSC – water supply corporation
The California Public Utilities Commission
The California Public Utilities Commission (or CPUC) is a public utilities commission that officially regulates the privately owned electric, natural gas, telecommunications, water, railroad, rail transit, and passenger transportation companies that operate in the state of California.[4]
United Kingdom and Ireland
In the United Kingdom and Ireland, the state, private firms, and charities ran the traditional public utilities. For instance, the Sanitary Districts were established in England and Wales in 1875 and in Ireland in 1878.
The term can refer to the set of services provided by various organizations that are used in everyday life by the public, such as: electricity generation, electricity retailing, electricity supplies, natural gas supplies, water supplies, Sewage works, sewage systems and broadband internet services.[11] They are regulated by Ofgem, Ofwat and Ofcom. Disabled community transport services may occasionally be included within the definition. They were mostly privatised in the UK during the 1980s.
Developing countries
In poorer developing countries, public utilities are often limited to wealthier parts of major cities, as used to be the case in developed countries in the nineteenth century, but in some developing countries utilities do provide services to a large share of the urban population, such as in the case of water and sanitation in Latin America. Some places like Afghanistan and Somalia have had their water supply, etc., damaged or destroyed by years of warfare.
Public utility quality of service for telecommunications
Maintaining the infrastructure for a public service or utility demands a set of sound practices to enable Quality of Service (QoS). Uniform construction procedures especially must be followed by all parties. In particular, the recent boom in new architectures/services in telecommunications demands a whole new set of rules to maintain uninterrupted service.
With new construction in public utility areas, the basic considerations and requirements relative to the construction practices and procedures are critical in a telecommunications company operating area.
It is important that any construction should minimize the possibility of creating conditions that
- are hazardous to the general public and to any personnel working on, in, or around supporting structures
- could impair service or the restoration of service to customers of all parties using the supporting structures.
A set of practices that promotes reliable network performance and complies with all national codes; and that is consistent with current OSHA Rules, EPA regulations, and DOT requirements; are imperative.
SR-1421, Blue Book - Manual of Construction Procedures provides a basis for developing productive Joint Use agreements and collaboration with other utilities such as power supply companies.
There are many OSHA rules, EPA regulations, DOT requirements, and other agencies that can affect the operations of a telecommunications company that are not directly covered in SR-1421, although cross references where appropriate are present. These auxiliary issues are properly addressed in specific work rules issued by individual companies.
Basic safety precautions in a telecommunications public utility
There are general safety precautions to be observed when working on poles, cables, guys, wire, strand, joint-use and joint-owned structures, pole-mounted aerial equipment, and underground and buried plant.
In the United States, all personnel must conform with the federal, state, and local laws requiring Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) to be worn when performing particular work operations. Similar laws and regulations apply in many other countries.
Examples of personal protection equipment are hard hats, safety glasses or goggles, insulating gloves, proper foot wear, work gloves, etc.
Construction, maintenance, and repair work of telecommunications plant involves potentially dangerous situations since the work is often performed
- In aerial lifts, bucket trucks, buried trenches, and confined spaces
- In the vicinity of high-voltage and high-current power supply cables and apparatus
- With heavy equipment and structures including utility poles, excavators, and large cable reels
- Using significant forces particularly during strand and guy tensioning, cable deployment, cabinet placement and pole setting operations.
It is critical that management and construction personnel be cognizant of these hazards and abide by the appropriate methods and practices to limit as far as reasonably possible the risks associated with telecommunications plant procedures.[citation needed]

Why Is Apple Creating Its Own Traffic Database?
Buried in Apple's statement on how the iPhone tracks a user's location data, the company admitted it was collecting anonymous location information to create a "crowd-sourced traffic database" that will be part of a future "improved traffic service."
The thing is, there's already a traffic service on the iPhone, provided by Google. If a user launches the Maps app and selects "Show Traffic," the map overlays colors on roads that show traffic congestion. Google gets the traffic data by—surprise!—crowd-sourcing it, aggregating information from Google Maps users who have approved the app for location services on their mobile devices.
Apple's statement reveals that the company is working on its own version of such a service. Whether that service will be something that Apple will use to improve traffic in Google Maps, or if Apple will launch a competing maps app, or something else entirely isn't known. Apple didn't respond to multiple requests for comment on the topic.
The Google Maps app is one of the few that's baked into iOS—there's no way to remove it, and many other apps depend on it for map data. If Apple were to replace it with something else, it would have widespread repercussions for app creation and the developer community. However, the fact that Google hasn't brought Google Navigation—its full-fledged GPS navigator turn-by-turn instructions that's on Android—to iOS in the year and a half since its debut, may also be a factor. Apple may be planning on introducing its own GPS-like functions, which would technically be an "improved" service over what the Maps app currently offers.
Crowd-sourcing traffic data via cell phone has been around since at least 2007, when TeleNav launched the first such service for GPS devices. Since then, several similar services have debuted, including Google's, the short-lived Internet-enabled Dash Express GPS, and TomTom's recently launched connected GPSes, which boast "HD" traffic.

Understanding the Craft of Your Paper While Building Essay Writing Skills
Building your own essay writing skills or finding others that can provide you with the assistance you need ensures a higher grade among all your assignments. If you aren't sure how to build your own skill set, then looking at various concepts that are related to writing ensures a better response from your professor in any course. Following are some of the main concepts to begin crafting as you write papers and essays.
1. Defining your thesis. The thesis alone is one that will turn your grade into one of a positive response or will cause you to lose points on your paper. The thesis is one sentence that describes what your paper is about and what you agree with in terms of the topic you are writing about. You can look at several essay examples to make sure that you are able to get the right focus for your thesis statement.
2. Organization. If you are not sure how to build essay writing skills from the beginning, then thinking about the organization of your paper can help. You can brainstorm your topic from the thesis statement that you have made first. You can then outline your main points so your paper is well defined and flows through the paper.
3. Crafting your paper. After you have the main points of your paper defined, then you will want to focus on putting your paper together. Making sure that you are able to move your thesis statement and main argument forward in a logical manner is the beginning of this. You will want to combine this with an academic friendly tone, which will let you show your point of view from a neutral stand point.
4. Grammar and spelling skills. The main work of your paper is never completed until you have the grammar and spelling completed. You will want to go through each of the sentences in your paper and make sure that they use the correct spelling formats. You will want to combine this with grammar that is logical and makes sense. Making sure that you don't overlook run on sentences, fragments or other common errors will make a difference in your final paper.
5. Editing. Once you have completed the initial paper, you will want to go back and revise what you have done. This will make a difference in the logic of your paper and will help you to redefine what you are trying to say to those in the course. Editing is one of the essential essay writing skills that will make a difference in the grade that you receive and in the effectiveness of your paper. At this point, you can look at professional services to either help in editing your paper or in writing the information you need.
With the specific focus on crafting and editing your paper, you will easily be able to move into a higher grade and better response from your teacher. The essay writing skills that you can build by working through these simple steps will make a difference in your grade and in the ability to write the paper needed. The result will be a thorough understanding of your topic while receiving higher marks in any level course.

London two-piece Fuck Buttons work in a realm of their own. Benjamin Power and Andrew Hung's devotion to damaged electronics previously resulted in two very different albums of mental-hack computer music. While 2008's 'Street Horsing' aired on the side of long-form, Black Dice-esque noise and drone excursions, 2009's masterful and singular 'Tarot Sport' recalibrated for upward digital tribalism, skewing closer to techno and post-rock. Fuck Buttons' allegiance to knob-twiddler experimentalism and bent Casio synths is clear, but unlike many of their peers, their albums have always had a higher purpose in mind.
Fuck Buttons' latest full-length, 'Slow Focus,' arrives four years after 'Tarot Sport.' In the space between albums, Benjamin Power has been busy under his ambient Blanck Mass moniker, and a couple of 'Tarot Sport' tracks were even repurposed for Danny Boyle's 2012 Summer Olympics opening ceremony. It's obvious Fuck Buttons are in a very different place from where they were in 2009, but 'Slow Focus' makes it clear the two still have their heads stuck in a world of of their own.
In many ways, 'Slow Focus' is a continuation of 'Tarot Sport,' leaning on rhythm as much as texture and piling zig-zaggy synthesizers to the sky. But for the most part 'Slow Focus' reels in 'Tarot Sport''s penchant for big emotions and the constant, continuous build-and-release that gave the latter record its post-rock distinction. It's almost quaint for a Fuck Buttons album, exchanging the tribal stomp of 'Tarot Sport' for more traditional IDM outlines. The synths are still buzzy and jagged like busted modems caught in a house fire, but it's unclear whether melody simply isn't the focus this time around -- the emphasis is on physicality and texture -- or if the duo are simply failing to reach the same heights.
Previously, the key to Fuck Buttons' sound was that, despite its mechanical nature, there was always a beating human heart present and accounted for -- whether heard in the snippets of vocals on 'Street Horsing' or the deep throb of melody and the handcrafted drum sounds on 'Tarot Sport.' 'Slow Focus' journeys deeper into ultra-digitized territories, and as a result much of the tension and weight that held the duo's sound together is lost, leaving instead lifeless spools of synthesized goop. It doesn't help that the synths themselves often feel cheap and flimsy.
The exceptions to all this are the two 10-minute behemoths that close out the record: 'Stalker,' which is a beautiful inversion of 'Tarot Sport' anthems like 'Olympians,' and 'Hidden XS,' which sounds like a Robert Fripp guitar line turned to pixelated rocket fuel.
The brunt of album fails to come together, however. On songs like 'The Red Wing' and 'Sentients,' the group aims for those big moments, but without the same jet-engine propulsion driving things, the music feels a little limp. (Though 'The Red Wing' does wring out some beauty in its second half.) Perhaps Power and Hung are going for something a little more ambient and less laser-guided than 'Tarot Sport.' (The album is called 'Slow Focus,' after all.) If so, there's just not enough ambiguity or empty space for the listener to get lost in. The duo is primed for immediacy, and they wield synthesizers and noise as a part of a steadily mounting attack strategy. If sonic assault is their game, 'Slow Focus' doesn't have the conviction or energy to make an impact.

How UK and US Gangster Rap Show Us the Difference in Each Country's Gun Laws
The gun debate in the US has hit an all-time climax. Mass shootings across the United States have spurred conflict between gun-control and gun-rights advocates. In the whirlwind of talking points from both sides, you often come across gun-control activists citing our friends across the pond as an example of the positive results of gun-control laws.
Firearms are tightly controlled in the UK, and in return, according to the United Nation's Office on Drugs and Crime, have one of the lowest rates of gun homicides in the world. The US, on the other hand, is one of six countries that make up more than half of the gun deaths worldwide, according to a study published in The Journal of the American Medical Association in the summer of 2018.
The difference is evident between these two western powers, and a deep dive into the laws of the two countries may provide even more explanation, but how exactly does UK and US gangster rap highlight concrete gun law differences between these two nations?
In the modern, popular vernacular of American hip-hop, gangster rap mostly lives in two main sub-genres; trap and drill. Both genres have roots in particular cities. Trap was born in Atlanta. "Trap" refers to drug manufacturing and distribution houses where a lot of Atlanta rappers emerged out of and into the rap game. Drill, a native sound of Chicago, known for its dark, violent, and nihilistic lyrical content, was birthed from the streets of the Southside of the city.
That's where we'll start our dive into modern American gangster rap, Chicago, where gun violence has plagued lower income areas of the city. One of the most notorious drill artists is a rapper by the name of Chief Keef. Keef rose to prominence in 2011 as a 16-year-old. However, run-ins with the law, including an alleged shootout with police, put Keef in and out of juvenile detention centers and house arrests. While for most, being caught in the system might be a bleak and unproductive time, Chief Keef was still able to launch his rap career.
In 2012, Chief Keef released his smash hit, "I Don't Like." The song brought Keef into the mainstream. It was remixed by superstar Kanye West, and although the exact number of music video views on YouTube is unknown (due to it being removed, then re-uploaded multiple times), it is well into the multi-millions.
This is where a lot of our comparison between UK and US rappers will live, in the music videos themselves.
In the original music video for "I Don't Like," Keef and his companions are pictured toting handguns (starting at 2:25). They wave them around, stick extended clips in them, seemingly unfazed by past gun charges linked to Chief Keef.
Jumping to the trap scene in Atlanta, you see much of the same; artists showcasing guns in their music videos. 21 Savage is a 26-year-old trap artist from Atlanta that has reached mainstream success. Much like Keef, he grew up in a violent, gun-ridden neighborhood; and his music reflects that life. The music video for his 2016 song, "No Heart," opens inside a trap house where a number of men sit around a table playing poker. Pistols and assault weapons riddle the table as the men play. As the video progresses, storylines arise where 21 partakes in acts of gun violence, including shooting a store clerk with a pistol, and an associate with a semi-automatic weapon.
The reach of trap and drill have moved far past Atlanta and Chicago. As the internet has brought the world closer together, the sounds and style of trap and drill have molded street music across America. Whether you're listening to rap from New York, Miami, LA, even Canada, you can hear and see the influence trap and drill have had on the music. This is not to say trap and drill artists were the first to feature guns in music videos in the US, but they certainly increased the frequency.
Now to be clear, this discussion is not to pin hip-hop with showcasing guns in American media. Rappers promote guns no more than cowboys in westerns or characters in a Quentin Tarantino movie. The point here is to point out the stark differences between gangster rap in the US and the UK. And while there is certainly censorship, restrictions, and consequences for guns in American rap, it doesn't come even close to what their counterparts in England face.
Rappers promote guns no more than cowboys in westerns or characters in a Quentin Tarantino movie.
Gangster rap in the UK lives in two main sub-genres; grime and similar to the US, drill. Much like their American peers, many of these artists grew up in low income, high crime areas. Their songs also tell stories of the violence they've experienced growing up in these communities.
If you're familiar with UK grime and drill, you've probably stumbled across the YouTube channel, GRM Daily. For those in the US, GRM Daily is a close equivalent to World-Star Hip-Hop. GRM promotes and features music videos from a slew of UK rappers. They currently have over 1.5 million subscribers on their channel.
Of the top seven most viewed grime/drill videos on GRM Daily (they also feature dancehall and R&B), zero have guns in them. Compare that to World Star's YouTube channel where three of their top seven videos show a firearm.
While there is certainly censorship, restrictions, and consequences for guns in American rap, it doesn't come even close to what their counterparts in England face.
Mixtape Madness is another YouTube channel that features drill and grime. It's sort of an underground version of GRM Daily, with about 500k subscribers. You could argue that the artists featured on Mixtape Madness are a bit grittier, a bit more street than the one's on GRM. Still, of their top 20 videos, zero feature any visuals of any sort of firearm. While I can't provide any concrete numbers or statistics, in my own experience consuming UK drill and grime, I have never seen a gun in any sort of UK hip-hop music video. There is certainly a lot of finger pointing, and lots of gesturing, but no actual guns.
Some UK drill/grime music videos even feature warning disclaimers. For example, the video for "9er Ting," a song by Hackney artists Unknown T and KO, starts with a text disclaimer that reads, "This music video is purely for entertainment purposes. The makers of this video do not condone violence of any kind, and seemingly violent acts portrayed in this video are simple artist expression." Wow. A disclaimer before a gangster rap video? Extremely rare in the US, but not so much in the UK.
If you click through the videos on Mixtape Madness' channel, you will quickly notice that most of the artists in the videos are portrayed wearing ski masks. In fact, KO, the artist mentioned above is never seen in a video without a mask. Why? Because in the UK, lyrics and visuals can be used in court as evidence. Because of this, the phrase, "No face, no case," has become popular in the drill/grime scene. If you're an artist simply rapping about guns or violence in your music, you could be at real risk.
This seems extreme, right? Do rappers in the UK really have to put disclaimers in their videos and wear masks? The answer seems to be, yes. Artists in the US have been unable to perform in certain places due to parole restrictions. The New York rapper, Tekashi 6ix9ine was even ordered by a Judge to refrain from shouting his gang's affiliation in songs. But a west London drill group, 1011, has been banned from making music without police permission. A court order issued June of 2018 requires the group to notify police within 24 hours of releasing new videos. Additionally, the order says that the group must give 48 hours warning of the date and location of any performance or recording and permit officers to attend. The group is also restricted from using certain lyrics.
The first time I watched the group's music video for their song, "Guess Who's Back," I found myself squinting at the video, confused, something was off. The lips of the rappers in the video didn't seem to sync up with the lyrics of the song. As I watched, I realized the video wasn't even the video for the song. It was some other artist's video with 1011's song dubbed over. The original "Guess Who's Back Video" can't be found.
West London drill group 1011 has been banned from making music without police permission.
While the examination of UK and US gangster rap certainly highlights the difference in gun laws, it also leads us to uncover an attempt by British authorities to censor black music. What happened to 1011 is censorship, and it will do little to actually curb any sort of violence in the UK. Chief executive of the Index on Censorship Jodie Ginsberg said about the incident, "Banning a kind of music is not the way to handle ideas or opinions that are distasteful or disturbing. This isn't going to address the issues that lead to the creation of this kind of music, nor should we be creating a precedent in which certain forms of art which include violent images or ideas are banned. We need to tackle actual violence, not ideas and opinions."
It's sort of sad. You'd think this comparison of UK and US rap would allow for a great deal of enlightenment. Instead, it mostly highlights two major problems in both countries. However, all this does still say something about the gun debate in America. UK and US rappers both discuss guns and violence in their music. The only difference is the guns themselves.

Madonna with Child
c. 1465
Bellini, most of whose works unfortunately have not survived the centuries, was one of the most influential artists, who helped bridge the Gothic and Early Renaissance styles. Now, it would be unfair to note that there were Early Renaissance painters who existed well before Bellini's birth, such as Giotto; still, it would be too simple to dismiss Bellini chronologically as his art illustrates a very strong movements towards what I could only simply term as a cleaner version of the Early Renaissance, which was not popularized until after his death (I think Madonna with Child most strikingly illustrates Bellini's revolution).

Just realised this morning that the month has already almost rolled into the next set of updates and I have still one from last month to let you know about.
My finish from last month is Little Sheep Virtue - No.2 or "Love" by Little House Needleworks:
I have stitched it in recommended colours/with suggested button 35 count cocoa. I hate this count (as I can only stitch in daylight with such small holes) but all the sheep will need to be on it now.
Till soon,

Green Lantern: Web of Doom Book Review
About the Book: HAL JORDAN cant get a break! He tries to free a fleet of intergalactic battle cruisers from the energy webs of the ruthless KIRIAZIS. But the crusiers dont want his help. The war-like race wants to fight their own battles. Then, as KIRIAZIS spins her evil plans, another villain arrives and causes problems for everyone. The only way out of this sticky situation is for GREEN LANTERN to team up with his former foe. Can the two warriors work together or will this epic battle become an epic fail?
Our Take: Green Lantern fans unite! This new kids book is absolutely dynamic! Its simple text interjected with fun word effects and animated-style pictures. This book, the Web of Doom, was written by Michael Steele, who has a proud history in writing children's books, and illustrated by Dan Schoening. The book is done in the more traditional Dc animated style and definately appealed to me right away. The kids loved the story, especially since we just watched the live action and Dc Universe animated Green Lantern movies. These Hal Jordan Lantern tales are sure to please any fan and their kids! The book comes with a handy glossary in the back that will help you go over some of the more difficult words with your kids and even a bio for one of the lesser-known characters in the story! This one is absolutely fantastic.
