Barchick SaysDate Updated: 07/02/2013
Naming a bar after a 1970s classic porn movie – the days of the wide bush – is a sure fire way to get BarChick interested, and Behind the Green Door doesn't disappoint. In the trendy neighbourhood of Mar Mikhael, pushing back the (yes, you've guessed it…) green door enters you into slightly surreal surroundings. Some people are reclining on cushions on the floor, others relax in large, velvety armchairs, while the deep red patterned carpet and mood lighting couldn't be more boudoir-esque. For a minute you might wonder whether you have actually just walked into a brothel (before you try anything, you haven't!).
Yet, at the same time, it shows the modern side of the Beirut party scene with the resident DJ playing a mix of electronic and house to the uber cool crowd – very much long hair and tattoos – whilst the VJ (not as dodgy as it sounds) lights up the walls.

I'm dating an angel.
Up until yesterday, I thought they didn't exist. Now I'm falling in love with one.
Considering the insane events that have happened in the last five days—especially the last twenty-four hours—I shouldn't be focusing on what MJ is. I am, though.
Whether or not I believed in them, angel references are everywhere. They appear in books, movies, and TV, wearing anything from white togas to trench coats. Their image has been made into figurines and appears on jewelry and even clothes. They're a symbol of hope that billions of people all over the world have accepted. Some people pray to them daily, assured in their beliefs; others do it in times of desperation, when all hope seems lost. So many people have prayed for a miracle—prayed for proof that someone is listening.
Why then was I chosen over all of them?
I glance over at MJ lying beside me on Hiniker Bridge. He's staring at the clouds with his head resting on his arms. It's easy to forget what he is. His short brown hair is messy as if only his fingers have touched it, his hazel eyes suck me in no matter how far apart we are, and his smile shines brighter than high beams on the darkest night. He wears plain white shirts and dark jeans, and somehow on him they look better than a designer outfit—not that I wouldn't mind seeing him in one. The only thing keeping him from being perfect is the silence coming from his chest.
My heart stutters, pounding out the truth I can't ignore. MJ is dead.
He is dead and I am not.
A sigh unintentionally leaves my lips.
MJ rolls to face me. "What is it?"
I offer a weak smile. "Nothing."
He reaches out, taking my hand. A buzzing jolt of energy—his essence—courses through my body, searching for any clues as to what upset me. He frowns, not liking whatever he found.
"No more secrets, remember?"
All morning we've been sharing small details of our lives, making good on the promise we made yesterday. MJ's asked me about school, hobbies, and music. I've asked about places he's traveled and what foods he'd like to try now that he can taste again. As nice as it is to have time like this—where everything is calm—we're both deflecting.
He's distracting me from thinking about yesterday—the worst day of my life. I'm avoiding anything even remotely related to his angelic side. But we can't avoid it forever. At some point, we'll have to talk about it if I want to have a true relationship with him.
I take a deep breath. Talking to MJ has always been easier than talking to anyone else, but it's still uncomfortable baring my thoughts to him. He could pop the barrier I put between the world and myself as if it were no more than a bubble. I'm not sure I want him to—at least not yet.
As I release my held breath, I prepare myself for answers I'll probably never be ready to hear. "Why don't you have a halo, white gown, or wings?"
He snorts and then releases my hand, running his fingers through his hair. "That does look pretty on church windows and on top of Christmas trees, doesn't it?"
I blush and nod, hoping I haven't just insulted him.
His lips twitch, fighting a grin. "The halo is a myth. They were used in literature and art dating back to the first century to signify a holy being. It represents our light, and by that I mean good versus evil. The white gown and wings are true, though."
I expected the gown to be true, seeing as Elizabeth wore one, but not the wings. Where are hers? Where are MJ's? Every image I've seen of angel wings flows through my mind. There are so many, and they're all so different, each pair beautiful in its own way. I'm sure MJ's would be amazing.
"So where are your wings?" My stomach winds into knots, and my heart quickens. This is it. If I see them, there's no turning back—no way to unsee them. As scary as it is, I want this. I want to prove to us both that I can handle this.
His eyes darken, and he frowns. Even though we're right next to each other, it suddenly feels as if many miles separate us. "Hidden."
"Can I see them?"
His words are like an earthquake shaking my foundation. "Why not?"
"It's against the rules for angels and demons to unglamour them. And while I'm breaking many rules lately, that's one I have to keep. If an angel like me, a Protector, were to unglamour his or her wings, it would send a pulse through the air that calls to our kind—almost like a battle cry or call to arms in war. We don't need that kind of attention right now. I nearly lost you yesterday—I won't let that happen again."
My eyes clamp shut in defense as I'm bombarded with images from yesterday. The dead old woman in the bathtub . . . My sister, Hannah, tied to a chair . . . Justin's ludicrous toast to me and my abilities . . . Learning he and MJ are dead . . . Witnessing MJ's death from hundreds of years ago from inside Elizabeth's magic fountain . . . Ben's death . . .
My hands still feel covered in blood from trying to save him. The pain in his eyes as he begged me to forgive him will haunt me forever.
As horrifying as all that is, one piece from yesterday can still destroy everything—the Binding Agreement. The final moments of my time in Justin's house are a blur. The evil contract that binds my soul to Justin for eternity was on the wall. The feather pen, filled with my blood, was less than an inch from touching it. One drop on the parchment was all he needed to seal the deal. One drop, and he'd own my soul for eternity.
I don't know if any of my blood touched the contract before MJ arrived. I don't know if Justin owns me. If he does, he could show up at any moment and take me away. I know that's why MJ won't leave me alone. I'm glad, though. Eternity with Justin would be worse than Hell.
My lip quivers. Instantly, MJ is beside me, wrapping his arms around me as he pulls us into a seated position. I snuggle into his chest as his essence enters me again. It fills the ever-present hole in my heart and reduces my fear.
I didn't know relationships could be like this—feel this good. A single touch from him dissolves my problems until they're so small they no longer seem like problems at all. Even without his essence, I know his touch would comfort me and bring me strength. It means he's here for me, ready and waiting for me to let him in. Me, I'm working on it.
"Hey," he whispers. "I'm right here. Let me help you."
I sigh and bury my head farther into his chest. His arms tighten around me, and he places a kiss in my hair. A pulse of his essence ripples through me from my head to my toes.
"Please," MJ begs. "After everything you've been through, the last thing I want is to make things harder for you, but we have to figure out how to stop your emotions from manifesting into the environment. While I will be forever grateful that your storm led me to you last night, things could have been a lot worse if other beings were in town."
I turn in his arms and peek up at him, not understanding what he meant. "Why?"
"Your storm wasn't natural—just like the clouds you've created now. There is a charge in the air, almost like waves of energy, pulsing around you—anxiously waiting to see what you require next. It's not strong enough for mortals to detect. Immortals, though, would seek out the source, just as I did last night. They can use your own ability to find you. We've been lucky so far, but luck doesn't last forever."
I peek up at the sky. Dark storm clouds cover every inch. The lowest ones swirl above us, threatening to swoop down and swallow us.
Justin's words come back to haunt me: It was supposed to be a mild October, yet it's been cloudy and raining off and on since the night you met me. Your fears have blocked out the sun.
I glare at the darkened sky, hating that it reflects the emotions battling inside me. It's as if I have my own Bat Signal in the sky. Except mine isn't cool. Mine says, "Hey, all you angels and demons—here's the girl you're looking for. Come and get her."
"I don't know how to turn it off," I say. "I don't even know if it's possible. Am I just supposed to walk around on autopilot, unaffected by the world around me just so the sky stays blue?"
MJ lifts my chin, forcing me to meet his gaze. I melt a little, seeing the softness that exists only for me.
"I didn't mean that. What you can do"—he looks at the sky—"it's nothing I've ever seen before. But we'll figure it out. Together. And it will be easier if you talk to me."
Together. I like the sound of that. I take a deep breath and rest back against MJ.
"I was thinking about the contract."
He stiffens. "I will never let him—or anyone else—take you from me. You, Maddy, are my heart. You're my everything."
"If it's signed, there's nothing you can do."
"There is one thing."
Hope sparks in my heart, growing stronger with each beat. "What?"
"Do you know what demons do when a good man goes to war?"
"They run."
"Are you saying you'd start a war for me?" I joke.
"The war began long before either of us was born. For you, I'd do what my side has longed for and what the other side has feared. I'd fight."
I gasp and pull back, staring into his hazel eyes. There isn't a trace of humor or fear in them. He would go to war for me.
A battle rages inside me—one side protesting with handmade antiviolence signs, the other side gearing up to fight alongside him. I've never meant that much to someone before. It's oddly comforting. The battle inside quiets as both sides are suddenly united by one common thread: MJ.
He tilts his head up. "There now. That's better."
I follow his gaze to the once-again-clear sky.
Surprisingly, that was easy. But it was only easy because he makes the bad things seem manageable.
"When your emotions are bearing down on you and affecting the environment," he begins, "try distracting yourself with feelings that match what the weather is supposed to be doing. Like camouflage. I know it's not a perfect solution, but it'll work in the time being."
I stare at the pristine shade of robin's-egg blue that only exists on perfect days. The hope I found moments ago—the hope he created—becomes so large, it feels as if it will burst out of me at any moment. This could work. Maybe not forever, but it's a decent start.
MJ hugs me. My heart, once again whole, quickens. My stomach dips. My arms tingle, and I wrap them around him, wishing this moment would never end.
"If you're up for it, there's another one of your abilities I'd like to work on today."
Last night when we talked about my "abilities," I hadn't grasped what it meant. I was still so raw from everything that had happened. Even today, it's hard to think about my abilities—and even harder to hear him talk about them. I want him to see me, not some girl who does all these strange, crazy things.
My gaze roams his face, trying to dissect his thoughts. A slight smile rests on his lips, but his eyes are wide and bright. Emotions are new to him. He isn't good at hiding them. Whatever he wants to do, he's eager or excited about it.
I stand and move to the railing, looking out at the pond. The sky reflects off the glassy surface. The bright sun that appeared moments ago is now hidden behind clouds again. The reflection dissipates as a small flock of geese swim through it. On shore, fallen leaves crunch as animals scurry about. Their lives are simple—eat and sleep. Mine used to be simple too. But even after everything that has happened, do I want to go back to that? I don't know.
MJ moves beside me. "What did I—"
"We both know that's not true. Tell me. Please."
Lying would be easier. It always has been. Then we could go on with our day, pretending nothing is wrong. But lies build until one day there is a hole in our relationship the size of the Grand Canyon, with me standing alone on one side, and MJ standing alone on the other. That's what happened with my family and friends. I don't want that to happen with us. It can't happen to us.
I turn and meet his gaze. "It's just, twenty-four hours ago I was mostly normal."
I stop. Saying it out loud makes it so much realer than in my head. I'm not normal. So what am I? Tears line my eyes, my heart races, and my lip quivers as I try to fight my emotions long enough to tell him how I feel.
"Now I'm this thing that has all these abilit—"
"Don't," he says, his face flinching as if in pain. "Don't ever talk like that again. Do you have any idea of the depth of my emotions for you? And then to hear you say such awful things about yourself . . . These abilities don't define you. Only you can do that. All they do is show the rest of the world something I knew the moment I saw you."
"What's that?"
"That you, Maddy Page, are unique. On your gorgeous outside, you appear just as helpless as any other mortal, but you're not. It's a trick. Smoke and mirrors. You're stronger than many of the angels and demons I've come across. And that is a good thing. Because what you do to me—what you make me feel—is a gift of the utmost importance, and it needs to be protected. You have the potential to change everything. When you do, there will finally be peace for all beings Father created. But until that day, your safety is in danger. Which is why we need to do everything we can to figure out how your abilities work. Once you understand them, you can utilize them to their fullest extent."
I swallow the lump in my throat that grew as he spoke. I hadn't thought beyond today, let alone me changing the world.
"What if I don't want my abilities? What if I just want to be normal?"
A deep ridge forms between his brows as he stares at me. The pond quiets until only the sound of my breath can be heard. The way he spoke about me changing the world frightened me, but in his eyes I saw a spark of how greatly he wanted it.
"MJ, I'm sor—"
"No. It's my fault. I got ahead of myself. I'm used to having abilities. You're not. They're an enormous responsibility. Many angels have chosen to be reborn so they could return to a life without them. I was about to join them, until I met you. You don't have the option to be reborn, to give up your abilities. Your abilities can be wonderful, or they can cause great devastation. We can't be careless with them. I'll help you gain control over them so you can choose to use them or not use them. Either way, I support you."
"Thank you."
A weak smile forms on his lips. And with that, I know how deeply he's hurting. I didn't mean to hurt him or squash his hopes. I didn't know he had hopes for my abilities. He's obviously given them more thought than I have. He's not freaked out—that has to be a good sign, right? And he did say they could be wonderful. His being able to feel is a good thing. So is his being able to taste food. And I like it when we touch and I bring our souls to the bridge. Maybe, with control, my other abilities could be good too? But whether I gain control of them or not, his vision of me changing the world will never come true. I'm no superhero. Their fight is not mine. I'll leave that to him.
Hoping to fix the damage I've done and ease the mood between us, I move away from the railing and smile. "All right. I'm ready. What do you want to work on?"
"Are you sure?" He tilts his head and I smile, thinking back to all the other times he's done that.
I nod.
His smile widens. "When we touched and you brought our souls here, were you specifically thinking about the bridge, or did we come here by some other power?"
"I was thinking about the bridge."
As he weaves his fingers with mine, I feel his softness for a moment, right before his essence enters me.
"If you thought of something else—another real place or perhaps even a 'place' you saw in a dream—do you think you could send us there too?"
"Maybe. I'm not really sure."
His hazel eyes brighten, and he grins. "That's better than a no. So let's try it."
"Try what?"
"Try sending us into one of your dreams."
I take a step back. Some dreams are safe for him to see. Others—the ones that are Elizabeth's memories—are not. They belong to her, not me, so sharing them doesn't feel right. And that's if I can even do this in the first place.
"What sort of dream do you mean?" I ask, trying to keep calm. "Mortifying ones of school? Nonsense ones with purple monsters and unicorns? Or something inspired by movies and books?"
"None of the above. I'm interested in a particular recent dream."
My heart skips a beat, hoping he won't ask to see Elizabeth's dreams, but what else can it be? I told him about them yesterday at school. Of course he would want to know more. "W-what one is that?"
"The one you had yesterday while you were unconscious. I need to know how you saw my death."

Drowning in Irish Water: how Eamon fought with Enda
In this exclusive extract from 'Inside The Room', Eamon Gilmore reveals his tensions with Enda Kenny over water charges
On 9 January 2014, I was on my way to the Young Scientist Exhibition when I heard about a breaking story that Irish Water had spent €90m hiring consultants. This was the worst possible start for the new water utility.
We knew that would be a difficult ask for people. Now, before the details of water charges had even been considered, Irish Water was under fire for hiring consultants, which in the public mind equated to wasting taxpayers' money. Moreover, it was way behind with the metering. At best, only 40pc of households would have meters by the end of 2014, we were informed.
Conscious of the fact that the first full year of the property tax would also be in 2014, I felt that to add water charges too, as per Fianna Fáil's agreement with the Troika, would be a step too far. I said at the EMC that I wanted water charges to be held back until at least 70pc of houses were metered and until the Government had agreed measures to ensure that charges would be affordable for households on low incomes, families with children and those with illnesses requiring extra water.
We agreed that the actual charging would be deferred until the beginning of 2015, but the first bills would date from October 2014. This would give Irish Water time to develop a reasonable and hopefully acceptable water charging regime.
In the Dáil, the opposition goaded the Taoiseach with questions and accusations: will you publish the average charge before the local election? Kenny relented and committed to doing so.
Unfortunately, making the most of the information vacuum, opponents of water charges were by now claiming that the charge would be as high as €700 or even €1,000! Householders were becoming alarmed and Fine Gael argued that we should settle the figure.
Michael Noonan said to me: "A fiver a week is a lot more manageable than a thousand a year." I continued to resist. A fiver was still a lot from a pensioner's weekly budget and an extra burden on hard-pressed families.
Kenny's biggest worry was that he had said in the Dáil that he would release the figure before the local elections and he feared a failure to deliver. He put the issue on the agenda for a Cabinet meeting without my agreement - the first time he ever did that. This resulted in a full-scale argument across the Cabinet table, between the Taoiseach and myself.
The discussion was parked for another day.
In the meantime, I was getting reports from the Labour local elections canvass that it would be better to have certainty about the figure. So I turned my mind to mitigating the €240.
The Programme for Government spoke of the charges applying only after each household had been granted a minimum allowance of free water. What should that be?
We agreed a free allowance for every household. Shouldn't it be greater for larger families? We agreed additional allowances for children up to 18. And shouldn't people with medical conditions which required extra water get special allowances?
Now what about pensioners and others on low incomes? Shouldn't there be a free scheme for water? We came up with a 'Water Conservation Grant' of €100.
But not every household would be metered by the time the charges come in. Those not metered would be given an estimated bill and when they were eventually metered they could claim back any excess they had paid.
Overall, it was not a bad deal. If we could just get the message out there.
But water charges, no matter how logically explained and rationally justified, were the final straw for people worn down by years of austerity. They were also Labour's biggest political handicap in the local elections.

The Rock Band game engine has been greatly improved in Rock Band 3. You've got more instruments, "Pro" modes, faster load times, more sorting options for songs, and the list goes on and on.
Where the game is somewhat disappointing is in song selection. You get about 80 songs of middling quality. Rock Band 1 and 2 had fewer songs, but they were better quality overall. Luckily there are plenty of awesome tracks to download from the Rock Band store, but of course you have to pay extra for those.
And, if you don't already have instruments from Rock Band 1 or 2, you'll have to buy those separately, too, and they are not cheap. Except for a keyboard, no bundles are available yet for Rock Band 3.
All-in-all, a worthwhile update to the series. Just be prepared to spend a couple hundred extra for better songs and instruments.

Listen to this article
Spain's IE Business School has beaten 14 rivals to retain the number one spot in the 2015 Financial Times ranking of online MBAs.
An important factor in IE's success is that its alumni earn the highest average salary at nearly $153,000, a rise of 43 per cent on their income on graduation three years ago.
The year's biggest climber is the UK's Bradford University School of Management, up three places to eighth overall. Its rise was helped by the joint highest alumni salary increase of 43 per cent, up from 30 per cent last year. As well as coming top for career progression, the school rose seven places to eighth position for "aims achieved" — the extent to which alumni fulfilled their goals.
In joint eighth place, rising one position, is Syracuse University's Whitman school in the US, which also tops the career service ranking. This is calculated from the alumni rating given to the efficiency of the career service in finding them a job.
The top seven places are dominated by the same schools as last year's inaugural ranking. In second place again is the UK's Warwick Business School. One graduate who responded to the FT survey said the course led to a promotion and job offers from other companies. The course required 15 hours of work a week in addition to his job. The virtual study route is not for the faint-hearted, but the results show it can be a good alternative to an on-campus degree.
The ranking contains two criteria specific to online programmes. Alumni were asked to rate how well their degree was delivered online and the level of interaction with peers and academic staff. University of Florida's Hough school came top in both categories to rise one place to third overall, making it the highest-ranked US school. It is also top in the "aims achieved" category.
There were two newcomers: the University of Massachusetts Amherst's Isenberg school and Florida International University's (FIU) Chapman school, ranked 11th and 14th respectively.
The ranking is based on surveys of schools and of alumni who graduated in 2011. Schools must be internationally accredited and at least 70 per cent of their programme content must be delivered online.
At the start of their MBA, nearly three-quarters of the graduates were professionals and 12 per cent held senior manager or executive roles. Three years after graduation, the picture has changed. Nearly 30 per cent of graduates hold senior manager or executive positions, the most common. This is followed by professional (27 per cent), other director/vice-president (16 per cent) and department head (15 per cent).
The top sector that graduates enter is finance and banking at 13 per cent, followed by the industrial and information technology/telecoms sectors at 12 per cent each. About 11 per cent go into healthcare and also consultancy.
The main reason given for studying for an MBA was to develop management skills, followed by increasing earnings and securing a promotion. Nearly 90 per cent of participants achieved these aims.
Some alumni came from technical, engineering or medical backgrounds and have switched to managerial roles.
About 20 per cent of graduates launch companies. One respondent said his MBA gave him the confidence to follow his entrepreneurial aspirations and start a small technology consultancy. A customer then invited him to develop a business division.
There is gender divide on salaries, with men earning $130,000 on average, $22,000 more than women, but the gap may be closing. The uplift in women's salaries in the three years since graduation is higher at 37 per cent than men's at 30 per cent. The salary rise in last year's ranking, for the class of 2010, was 26 per cent for women and 28 per cent for men.
European business schools, where more than half of students tend to come from abroad, have a more international student body than US schools, where less than 10 per cent of students are from other countries. One respondent, who did his MBA in Europe, said he thought his network was bigger and broader than it would have been, had he attended a traditional on-campus programme.

It used to be called 'the curse' but the company behind a new underwear innovation is claiming it change women's lives by spelling the end for tampons and towels.
Thinx manufacture and market 'period-proof pants', knickers which it says women can wear during their period instead of using female sanitary protection.
Designed by three women in New York – Miki Agrawal, twin sister Radha and friend Antonia Dunbar – they're made by women in Sri Lanka.
The knickers look like normal women's pants and come in three varieties - Thong, for the lightest days; Cheeky, for medium days; and Hiphugger, for heavy days.
Each is made with patented technology which takes the place of normal sanitary protection.
An estimated 800 million women are having their period right now.
But a lack of feminine hygiene products in some parts of the world, like Uganda, means that young girls miss around 11% of their annual schooling as they're housebound, Metro reports.
The brains behind the new pants say they can change all this, with Hiphuggers holding up to two tampons-worth of liquid.
The designers say they're washable, hygienic and prices start at £15.
CEO Miki told Forbes: "I want to change the culture around women's most normal time of month — and not while wearing grandma panties or pads that feel like a diaper."
The Thinx website adds: "We see a world where no woman is held back by her body. We will work proudly and tirelessly until every single girl has an equal opportunity for the brighter future she deserves.
"By reimagining feminine hygiene products to provide support, comfort, confidence, and peace of mind, we aim to eliminate shame, empowering women and girls around the world."
They're also donating money from every pair sold to Ugandan organisation AFRIpads to buy girls the freedom to go to school when they have their period.

New Global Navigation, Attendee Management Module and Mobile Integration for Lanyon Meetings and Events Designed to Make Planners' Jobs Easier
ORLANDO, FL--(Marketwired - July 27, 2015) - Lanyon, the leader in corporate meetings, events, and travel software, today announced the Summer Release of the Smart Events Cloud® at the Global Business Travel Association (GBTA) conference in Orlando (booth #1709). The release is designed to make the planning and execution of meetings and events even easier with a primary focus on a newly designed interface and navigation, and a completely new attendee management module.
The summer release of the Lanyon Smart Events Cloud includes the following:
A new, intuitive global navigation and user interface: Navigation is now based on the event life cycle, which simplifies the entire meeting and event process into logically ordered key components, and is designed to increase user efficiency, and adoption.
Completely redesigned attendee management module for meetings and events: Lanyon has made it easier than ever to plan, design and manage the entire process from website, to theme builder through to registration and reporting.
Configurable event themes: Event and meeting planners can now choose from an existing library of themes or edit a template to create a new, customized theme for their next event. The theme designer feature also automatically previews designs on desktops, tablets and mobile devices -- in order to see exactly what registrants will see.
Mobile integration: With the increased usage of mobile devices by attendees, integrated into the Smart Events Cloud is Lanyon's new secure and easy-to-use mobile application, Lanyon Mobile (formerly GenieConnect). The app improves the attendee experience before, during, and after the meeting or event, and helps deepen engagement between organizer and attendees.
"Over the last 18 months, we have undergone a significant transformation by bringing together some of the industry's leading technologies that make the Lanyon of today the only comprehensive solution for managing meetings, events, and travel," said David Bonnette, CEO of Lanyon. "The summer release of the Smart Events Cloud marks a major milestone in our commitment to build world-class software that delivers proven value to our customers and the industry.

It might be Monday, but that is never too early for a little Friday night date-night inspiration (at least if you ask me). Little black dresses are always a staple when dressing for a night out, but this one in particular caught my eyes with its open back details – have you seen them?! I love when a dress gives you that classy yet sexy look.
The great things with LBDs is that you can basically style them up or down (or left or right) with the accessories you choose. Tie a denim jacket around the waist and throw on sneakers and you have a day look. Style it with a snake leather clutch and some black pumps and you get a va-va-voom outfit. I kept the rest of my accessories minimal (wearing that gold bar necklace I told you about here) to let the dress be the statement piece.
And as surprising as that might sound, I actually got it at Reitmans! For the past few months I have styled a bunch of different pieces from the brand after they upgraded their style, and each of them blew my mind even more than the previous one. This dress for example is so thick and comfortable, the quality feels like it should be worth wayyy more than it actually was (regular $109.90 and on sale for $76.93)!

From the records held at the Norfolk Record Office
This blog explores the very different stories of two teenage boys who saw active service in the First World War; one a legitimately recognized naval rating and the other an enthusiastic under-age volunteer whose enlistment was fully aided and abetted by his superiors. You had to be 18 to join the Army and conscription was not introduced until 1916. By contrast you could join the Navy at 16 and be fully involved in naval engagements.
The Oldham journals (MC 2201) recount in detail naval engagements from 1914 to 1918. It includes the story of John Travers Cornwell, from a scrapbook, NRO,
Cornwell enlisted in 1915 and was a Boy Seaman First Class. He was sixteen and serving on HMS Chester during the Battle of Jutland in 1916. The press reported that Cornwell was mortally wounded early in the action. He nevertheless remained standing alone at a most exposed post, quietly awaiting orders till the end of the action, with the gun's crew dead and wounded all round him. (MC 2201/5 935×3). Cornwell died in hospital in Grimsby the next day. He was initially buried in a common grave but, as news of his bravery spread, he was reburied in the same cemetery with full military honours. Cornwell was awarded the Victoria Cross, the third youngest recipient to do so.
By contrast the personal account of William Kemp from Gorleston tells a very different story. (ACC 2003/49 Box 26). While keen to do his bit, Kemp did not initially set out to enlist at the age of sixteen. A month after his 16th birthday Kemp wrote:
Was coming up Regent St; Yarmouth and in front was the 5th Norfolks band on a recruiting march, a Sergeant whom I knew, came to me and asked me to enlist, I told him I was too young and on top of that my Mother would not let me go although I wanted to, in any case he put my name down and told me to be at York Rd; Yarmouth, Drill Hall, that evening, I finished work, told my Mother what I had done and she straight away forbid me to go, I got round her by saying it was for Home Service only.
Kemp volunteered and the following Monday we were marched down to the old R.G.A Barracks Yarmouth and the majority of us passed fit, before going there we were told not to give our correct ages but to put a year or two on. I was not the only one under age by far.
Following a short training spell in Dereham, Kemp was sent to Peterborough for further training. Kemp then volunteered for the 1/5th Battalion Norfolk Regiment and went to Bury St Edmunds. While there was an aim to keep the Yarmouth men together, they had to be split to make up the numbers and Kemp became part of C Company.
On arrival at Bury we were issued with full kit and a long Lee Enfield Mk. 1 and started soldiering properly . . . . we were at Bury when the Zepps dropped bombs on the Butter Market. . . . we were then moved to Watford . . . . we came off Church Parade towards the end of July and were issued with tropical kit . . the tale was we were off to Egypt.
As Kemp left for Liverpool, his landlady threatened to write to his mother as she knew he was under age but he persuaded her not to. His company left Liverpool docks for Egypt and, after seven days at sea, they arrived at Mudros.
A sight for sore eyes, ships of all sorts from cruisers, destroyers British and French and even one Russian, the General something but called by the lads the packet of Woodbines as she had five funnels, besides troopships etc. not forgetting the "bum-boats".
From Mudros they went onto Imbros on the Osmanieh.
The next day off again and we then came in sight of Gallipoli and could hear rifle firing etc; of course everybody crowded to that side and I remember the old Colonel shouting to us to spread out as the old boat was heeling over.
On 9th August they arrived at Suvla. They were given a white linen bag containing food supplies and told to tie it onto their backpacks. What an ideal target for snipers but we did not realise it then.
At Suvla they marched in the darkness passing through different battalions of the Naval Brigade who were among the first to land at Suvla, the stench of dead bodies was awful.
A few days later Kemp's company went sniper driving. Coming across a seriously wounded Australian scout, Kemp offered his own first aid kit but was told "keep that, you may need it yourself". The scout died later that evening. I had not experienced death before.
Death followed swiftly the next day. As Kemp and another soldier stood up to stretch, after hours of digging, his fellow soldier was shot and killed instantly. He came from Bury St Edmunds, I never knew his name.
The next part of Kemp's account is as confusing as the incident itself. He appears to have been separated from the rest of his company and was not sure where he was or what had happened. He spent some time wandering on his own eventually reaching a beach near a dressing station. I dropped where I was absolutely done and fell asleep . . . . I finally reached our dump to be greeted with the words "We thought you were killed".
Kemp had clearly suffered some injuries because he was put on a hospital ship and went to Wharncliffe War Hospital in Sheffield. He returned to duty in June 1916.
There is much more I could put about my Army days both humerous and serious, but I think for the time this is suffice, other than to say I finished up with the 1st Battn. in France being wounded in the left thigh on 21st August 1918 when we went over on the Somme.
Kemp wrote that his main records never did show his correct age despite his mother sending his birth certificate to the authorities. Fortunately, unlike Cornwell, he did survive the war.
I had always said as a youth that I would never join the local regiment or marry a local girl, I did both, for I met some of the best lads one could wish to be with and I married one of the best girls there was in Yarmouth.

Reminiscent of 1857, students of the Benaras Hindu University raised the slogan
Angrez bhag gaya 'the English have fled'. They hijacked trains and draped them
in the tricolour.
In the first week after the Quit India resolution was passed, 250 railway
stations were damaged and over 500 post offices and 150 police stations were
attacked. Train services were disrupted for many weeks in Bihar and Eastern U.P.
The government hit back with a vengeance. In just one week, soldiers fired on
unarmed crowds in different parts of the country on 538 occasions. This included
machine-gun firing by low-flying aircraft. The government once again resorted to
whipping and burning of entire villages as punishmenr. By the end of 1942, those
arrested crossed the 60,000 mark.
When the government gagged the press, the freedom fighters set up the
underground Congress radio which they operated from different locations in
Bombay to evade detection. This radio which was manned by among others, Usha
Mehta, continued to keep the country informed of the Quit India agitation and
was finally confiscated by the police in November 1942.
Defying the brutal strength of the government, people set up parallel
governments in different parts of the country. The people's government, Jatiya
Sarkar set up in Tamluk in the Midnapur district of Bengal and which lasted till
September 1944, undertook cyclone relief work, gave grants to schools, set up
courts and distributed grains to the needy. The Prati Sarkar (parallel
government) set up by Nana Patil and others in Satara, Western Maharashtra
continued to function till 1945. The Prati Sarkar enforced prohibition,
abolished untouchability and rural education was promoted.
Peasants, workers, students and women took active part in the movement. Though
the Muslim League did not participate in the Quit India Movement, significantly
this period was free from communal clashes. Even government officials, zamindars
and Indian industrialists gave covert support.
Though Gandhiji did not approve of the methods adopted by the Quit India
agitators, he held the government responsible maintaining that it was its
repressive measures which had invited such a violent backlash.
Though the government succeeded to a large extent in suppressing the movement,
the Quit India movement had once and for all liberated the people from the fear
of British authority. Independence or Poorna Swaraj was no longer negotiable.
Now the people of the country would be satisfied with nothing less than

PORTLAND, Ore., June 14, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nobilis Therapeutics, Inc. announced today that the results of the clinical trial assessing efficacy of its NBTX-001, a xenon-based therapeutic in the treatment of Panic Disorder (PD) were published in Journal of Translational Medicine.
The study evaluated 81 patients suffering with PD, with and without other psychiatric comorbidities, which were treated with NBTX-001, an inhalational gas mixture containing noble gas xenon. After the completion of treatment both groups were found to have a dramatic reduction in the incidence of panic attacks, the effect that was sustained during the six months of study follow up. In addition, patients with concomitant anxiety and depression were found to have a substantial decrease in symptom severity. The treatment was very well tolerated with only minimal side effects reported in the minority of patients.
Current treatment options for PD include antidepressants and benzodiazepine tranquilizers, which have limited efficacy, numerous adverse side effects, and treat only the symptoms of the disease.
"While we realize the limitations of the open label design of our study, we are very encouraged by the potent signals of efficacy that it has demonstrated," said Dr. Vlad Bogin, CEO of Nobilis Therapeutics. "This study validates company's methodology and paves the way to the upcoming studies of NBTX-001 in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and in other psychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases."
"I am delighted to have the opportunity to share these clinical data in a peer-reviewed publication," said Dr. Alexander Dobrovolsky who was the principle investigator in the study. "Now, that we have validated our approach in a controlled study setting, we are looking forward to conducting randomized, placebo-controlled trials in a number of very promising indications."
About Nobilis Therapeutics, Inc.
Nobilis Therapeutics is a biotechnology company that is focused on development and commercialization of proprietary inhalation-based treatments using controlled device administration of inert gases that have an exceptional safety profile proven by decades of clinical use. The Company has filed multiple patents on the use of inert gases for treatment of a variety of psychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases and leverages the experience of its international team that has successfully used this technology in the treatment of over 500 patients for conditions ranging from panic attacks to substance abuse.

The importance of keywords in your resume
I realized that my last couple of articles on resume content did not discuss the importance of keywords. Keywords are vital in today's online resumes. What is a keyword? The simplest definition of a keyword is any word that a recruiter may type in a search box to find your resume whether it be on a job board or LinkedIn. It is usually some sort of skill they are looking for in a candidate. The more potential keywords you have on your resume, the more likely a recruiter will find you. If you REPEAT your keywords in your resume, it INCREASES the likelihood of your resume showing up in search results.
How you do know what your keywords are? The best thing to do is to read job postings for positions you are interested in. Pay attention to the words used to describe the ideal candidate; specific skills they list, certifications, job titles. Include those words in your resume as many times as possible. Below are some ways to add more keywords to your resume:
1. Add a skills summary at the top of your resumes. Put them is a table format like below. Visuals stick out in a resume.
|PHP, SQL, JavaScript
|Unix, Windows, Linux
|Oracle, DB2
2. In the body of your resume, add a line below the job details listing skills (keywords) used in that job.
Title: Superhero Everywhere, USA 1990-current
Company: Comicbooks, USA
- Saved damsels in distress by leaping over tall buildings.
- Beat up bad guys and put them in jail
- Crime rate reduced by 30%
Skills used: x-ray vision, ability to fly, impeccable communication skills
3. You can also put a skills summary at the bottom of your resume with no formatting. It can be a paragraph with the skills listed. It is not pretty, but effective.
Dice has a place for you to list your skills when you upload your resumes. You should take advantage of this area because it shows up in the search results. LinkedIn has a summary section which you should complete and also include the skills in each job detail that you include. Monster used to have a place to do this, but for some strange reason they eliminated it when they redid the website earlier this year.
Remember, repeating keywords makes you more likely to be found.
Do you know your keywords?

Early Flex Pack Trends 2014
Early Flex Pack Trends 2014
Every year, the flexible packaging industry seems to reinvent itself with new materials, equipment, processes and technology. 2014 is shaping up to be another year of insights, innovations and all around better final products. Let's look at some early trends in 2014, starting with sustainability and design.
For starters, the idea of sustainability has been growing in many industries, not just flexo printing. The logic behind the movement makes a lot of sense—provide a cleaner, more efficient process while eliminating waste and cutting your costs. Actualizing those results, however, has been where the challenge has lied.
In order to reach the goals and demands of sustainability, some printers have switched the type of ink from solvent to a gel-based electron beam (EB) ink. For example, Gelflex-EB ink from Energy Sciences Inc. (ESI) produces Gravure-like quality, has the lowest total print cost, operates on a green platform and is safe for food.
From a design standpoint, packages are becoming more dynamic and are trying to push the level of preconceived structures. A recent example of this is when Maheso created a new pack for their "Cheese Pop" product. In order to achieve their efficiency and sustainability, Maheso used ESI electron beam technology to dry the CI Web Offset.
As packaging continues to change, eBeam will be there to handle all of the advancements and innovations.

Slow down. In our rush to get from his death, Good Friday, to his Resurrection, Easter Sunday, we skip over one of the most important aspects of the revelation. Indeed, the fact that we killed him but he did not stay dead is important. However, equally important is the fact that we tortured him but he did not stop loving us.
We could have pissed him off. We could have triggered his revenge reflex. Yet, we did not.

Governor and First Lady Host Official Tasting Event in Preparation for Seafood Cook-Off Florida Mansion Chef Cooks up Masterpiece for National Competition
7/29/2011 Tallahassee, Fla –This afternoon, Governor Rick Scott and First Lady Ann Scott will taste test culinary creativity at its best as John Minas, Executive Chef at the Florida Mansion, serves up his latest creation.
The Scotts selected Minas and his sous chef, Carin Butler, to represent Florida in the 2011 Great American Seafood Cook-Off against top chefs from 13 other states. The chefs will fire up their pans for the completion on August 6th.
"John is a talented chef and cooks up some of the best food I've ever tasted," said Governor Scott. "He's going to give those other chefs a run for their money."
Similar to the cook-off on Aug. 6, Chef Minas and his sous chef will have one hour to prepare a dish that will dazzle the 6 judges, a member of the public and press. In the taste testing event, the judges will be Governor Scott, the First Lady, four mansion staff members and a representative from the press. Just like in the cook-off, Minas must use seafood products from the state he represents and will be judged on taste, execution of skills and presentation.
"I'm extremely excited about this opportunity to compete and showcase Florida's amazing seafood and variety of fruits, vegetables and cultural influences," said Minas. "We really want to win this."
For more information about the 2011 Great American Seafood Cook-Off, you may visit this website: http://greatamericanseafoodcookoff.com/
Pooled coverage for the taste testing event will be available to media outlets statewide after 3PM on Aug. 5. Video will be provided by a Florida Channel photographer, and a written report will be provided by Rosanne Dunkelberger, Editor of Tallahassee Magazine. The b-roll footage and written report will be embargoed until August 6, the day of the competition, to prevent any of Minas' competitors from gaining an upper hand. A follow-up advisory will be sent at that time.

The metamorphosis of a caterpillar into a butterfly is a magical transformation that metaphorically represents our own evolution towards the mature human beings we each aspire to become.
This interactive artwork invited the SoHE (School of Human Ecology) community to reflect and write about our fears, misunderstandings, prejudices, and stereotypes—our isms. Using the transformative nature of the papermaking process, more than 60 participants each tore an empty page out of a hand-bound blank book. Then, they made notes on this page about the ways they would like to grow and change in their social interactions. Afterward, the sheet was ripped up and beaten into paper pulp. This paper pulp, carrying our (now hidden) collective hopes and dreams for personal transformation, was made into new sheets of paper by members of the SoHE community. Finally, the newly formed pages will carry thoughts from other participants about what it would be like to live in a society free of "isms".
Craft processes and materials contribute in powerful and meaningful ways to the content of artworks. The fine craft of handmade paper can be a powerful vehicle in support of the social values our community works towards embracing. I firmly believe that all social change must start with personal self-reflection, and hope this work will contribute in a quiet andpersonal way for those who participated.
I would like to thank the EcoWell Committee, Dave Metler and his team for their time and assistance.
Mary Hark for her valuable mentorship and encouragement. Marianne Fairbanks for her guidance throughout the project. Jim Escalante and Carolyn Kallenborn for their advise and feedback.
Aaron Granat for producing an amazing video of the metamorph-isms process and Aliza Rand for documenting the project with beautiful photos.
Most importantly, thank you to all of you who participated in the project and made paper with me.
This project was made possible through the generous support of the EcoWell Idea to Action Fellowship at the School of Human Ecology.

Frankly speaking.......a rose by any other name
Hi everyone! Well, here it is the first of the month and AS PROMISED, a new post. New Years resolutions being what they are (a joke) and all, I can handle it! Let's see..... what happened since last time? Oh, we have babies! Mae's babies, Jupiter and Venus are growing like weeds, out with the flerd every day and fitting in. Little Venus has a set of lungs, let me tellya, and hollers for her grain just like the rest of us.
Hope's babies, Neptune and Hera, are very frisky. They went outside yesterday for the entire day for the first time and were pooped when they came back in, but they've started nibbling on grain, too.
Gracie's baby, Moondance, is the newest addition. He was waiting for wench to get back from Virginia before he made his debut. He's doing well and Gracie is a good momma.
Wench was in Virginia visiting with Aunt Patty and Uncle Gary and family, and then visited with Melanie and Joe Hultman, where she brought home the newest addition to the farm (well, the second newest, if you count goats and rabbits in the same census. I usually don't, just because). Windchaser's Daisy is a giant angora doe and she is fitting right in!
Giant angoras produce a giant amount of wool, which comes in three different ways, which was explained to me by wench one day, but I was hardly paying attention and falling asleep (she does this to me a LOT)
anyway. So, Daisy (the bunny) had a name (which is Daisy) when she came here. Daisy is a fine name, but we already have a Daisy. She is a sheep.
so, now we will have to differentiate between Daisy the BUNNY and Daisy the SHEEP. Owell. She better never bring home a rabbit named Frank. That's all I know.
So, that's what's been happening around here this month. Oh, yeah, Clems Bronwen took BEST IN SHOW at the Hickory New Year's Show. She was quite full of herself. She sent her two daughters, Mikimoto and Barouque to Mocksville to that show, and Mikimoto got her 3rd leg, so she can retire now.
Bronwen and Julianna are going to PaSRBA next weekend, with Sparkle and Flash, the pointed satin angoras, and Miranda and Zelda, the American Chins. Good thing for Gracie and Moondance their big day was this week, or wench would have had to stay home.
That's all the news so far - I'll see you again on the first of March! till then - thanks for reading Frankly Speaking!

International trade keeps global economies strong, giving consumers access to products that might not otherwise be available to them. That smartphone you're holding right now? Chances are at least some of the parts were manufactured in another country, then imported to your country. But prices for those goods can vary widely from one country to another. One economic theory, called purchasing power parity, states that prices should be the same across all locations because competition will drive prices down. That theory tends to work more as an idea than an actual practice, though.
The Basics of Purchasing Power Parity
Competition drives prices down. If nation has the choice to import goods from anywhere in the world, over time it will choose the region with the lowest prices. After taking into consideration the difference in exchange rates for the item, the country will end up selling the item for the same price it retails for in its home country. However, there are costs to transport the item, as well as taxes and tariffs. Cost of living and employee wages vary dramatically from one country to the next. Additionally, not all items can be shipped, which means there will always be inequality in prices for goods and services, significantly reducing the possibility that there will ever be across-the-board pricing parity.
Video of the Day
How Is Purchasing Power Parity Used?
One interesting way to watch purchasing power parity in action is the Big Mac Index, created in 1986 as a fun way to watch how economies differ across the globe. In January 2018, the price of a Big Mac in America averaged $5.28, but in China it was $3.17 when exchange rates were factored in. Purchasing power parity says that China's currency, the yuan, was 40 percent undervalued at that time.
Calculating Purchasing Power Parity
To determine purchasing power, you'll need the exchange rate of "currency 1" versus "currency 2." So, in this case, 1 Chinese Yuan equals $0.16 USD. The exchange rate is equal to the cost of the good in the first currency (1 Yuan) divided by the cost of the good in the second currency ($0.16 USD).
If you want to calculate purchasing power for an entire economy, you'll need to consult the Consumer Price Index and determine the overall index for that specific year. You can then compare the index of your country with the index of another country for that time frame. You can also use a formula to calculate purchase power for one year when compared to another year.

The silver 3 in 1 Powerbank, Torch and Hand Warmer is a multi-functional device that would make a great gift for any gadget lover. Simply click your way through the different functions and enjoy its various uses.
Designed to work universally on any phone, the Energy Tube has a high-powered Samsung battery inside which will fully charge an iPhone 5 in approximately 90 minutes. The LED torch will give out around 50 hours of light, whilst the hand warmer will provide 4-5 hours of heat. The gadget has a USB and micro USB port at the bottom for easy recharging. - L.M.

10 ReviewsSee all reviews
Where reviews refer to foods or cosmetic products, results may vary from person to person. Customer reviews are independent and do not represent the views of The Hut Group.
Purchased as a gift - but packaging and quality of the product looks spot on!
This 3 in 1 powerbank is basically your mate on adventures, short trips, cold mornings, and on days where you forgot to charge your phone the night before and is left with just 5% in the morning. It's aluminium colour looks professionally modern and its not that big to carry around. It's light and it's even got a micro USB cable and a socket the whole powerbank in! This product is worth every penny spent and it's a neat birthday present (not to say the least). It's a useful gift and also looks pretty! Very good indeed :)
Bought 2 of these now both as presents and both very well received. The "sock" caused some hilarity on our office but this is an office full of nurses, so you can imagine the comments,,,, Beautifully made, positive action on clicking on and off and all other combinations. I really like the green "good to go/on" and the red "charge me up please" light rings around the top of it. Time will tell in terms of longevity but neither recipient (one male, one female) has voiced anything other than joy with it so far. If it helps, he has an iPhone 6 and she an iPhone 4. The only other thought was a possible 4th function; I wonder if a vibrate mode might put a smile on some users faces, given it's size and shape?
A truly fantastic item. The tourch is powerful, the hand warmer works a treat and the ability to charge a phone and all at the same time if you so wish.
Did well. Doesn't take long to charge. (Came charged too!) Performs well. Brownie points from my wife! Only criticism - the writing on the side for which function you are setting is TINY!
Good gadget and clever to use a torch and hand warmer at same time but don't forget to charge it up lol
Really excellent unit - Torch is awesome, Size of battery charge amazing and a handwarmer as well? Everyone should have one!!
A really great product! Lightweight and barely takes up any room in a handbag!
Cannot say how good they are - they are Christmas presents
So I can charge my phone, warm my hands and see in the dark all at the same time. It's pretty nifty isnt it? hand warmer works quicky. flashlight is immense, charger is good. I have to charge this once for every day that I use it but no surprises there. Buy it and enjoy it!

The (not-so) definitive guide to Shanghai
Shanghai has become our hometown. Walking along The Bund and looking across the river at the downtown skyline never gets old. If you are thinking about taking a trip to this urban metropolis, you won't be disappointed. Someone told me Shanghai is the "China of the future", and being a city of 25 million people means that life is constantly evolving. New restaurants, bars, and shops pop up almost overnight. There is always something new to see or do.
This guide is meant to get you started. Check out some of the places online to make sure they are still open, their hours, and additional details. If you have any additional questions, feel free to reach out to me. I would be happy help and maybe even play the tourist with you!
Places to see and things to do
- The Bund: Walk along the water to see the picturesque Shanghai skyline.
- Lujiazui: See some of the world's tallest buildings up close. Enjoy authentic xiaolongbao at Din Tai Fung. Get a bird's-eye view inside one of the skyscrapers.
- Fake Market (Science and Technology Building): Need a Michael Kors bag, fake watch, custom suit, or souvenirs? This is the perfect place to go, but be ready to bargain!
- Fuxing Park: Enjoy a weekend morning outside strolling through the park and watching locals enjoying some downtime. Immerse yourself in the dancing, play a game of mahjong, or talk politics.
- Carrefour: Visit a local grocery store, or wet market to see what the locals eat. Be prepared, many items in the meat department are still alive.
- Yuyuan Garden & Bazaar: A beautiful traditional Chinese garden oasis nestled in the middle of town is sure to delight. After a tour of the garden, take time to shop for local handicrafts and keepsakes.
- Foot Massage: A must after a long plane ride or a day of sightseeing.
- Tianzifang: Get lost in the Longtang style alleyways of charming shops and restaurants.
- City lights at night: Enjoy a cocktail at a downtown rooftop bar. We love Flair for a view of The Bund, and Char Bar for a view of the skyline. Try to arrive just before sunset so you get both a daytime and nighttime view.
- Eat, Eat, Eat!!: The choices are endless.
- Yang's Fry Dumplings: For another taste of delicious local fare.
- Shanghai Disneyland!!!: Who wouldn't want to go to Disney, am I right? Read more here.
- Watertowns: The Chinese Venice. Watertowns have many sights, sounds and smells that make you feel like you have stepped back in time. Qi Bao is the closest to downtown.
- ERA Circus: Spectacular Cirque-de-Sole style show. Performances nightly.
- Shop for custom pieces: fabric markets, Painter's Street, etc.
- Jing'an Temple: A large Buddhist temple tucked amongst a backdrop of tall buildings. This temple is still active and dates back to 1918.
- Zotter's Chocolate Factory: Pretty much like walking into Willy Wonka's factory minus the Oompa Loompas. You will be sick by the time you leave, but it is totally worth the chocolate coma!

- Check out the Unfood Tour for a fun and filling day.

Backstreet Boys Tour with Sennheiser Wireless Systems
From L-R: Backstreet Boys A.J. McLean, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell and Nick Carter with Sennheiser SKM 565 G2 wireless handheld mics
Photo: Andre Csillag
The Backstreet Boys are currently on their Unbreakable Tour using Sennheiser SKM 565 G2 wireless handheld mics, along with Sennheiser ew 300 IEM G2 personal monitoring systems. Monitor engineer Doug Deems found that the SKM 565 G2, an ME 865 super-cardioid condenser capsule atop the SKM 500 RF handheld, was the overall best fit for the group.
"I wanted everybody on the same capsule," Deems says. "That was my main goal: to find something that they all sounded good with, and the ME 865 just sounds amazing on all four of them. It just jumped out." For the Unbreakable Tour, the Backstreet Boys have had the vocal mics customized with a black gloss finish and gold windscreens, says Deems.
"As for the G2 personal monitors," says Deems, "I flat out won't use anything else. I don't know how you can listen to all the available units side by side and not choose the G2s." In addition to the four singers, two backline techs are also on ew 300 IEMs on a communications network that also includes the FOH and monitor engineers and the backing band's musical director.
The Backstreet Boys' Sennheiser wireless system
To ensure interference-free performance of more than 20 wireless channels, Deems relies on SIFM (Sennheiser Intermodulation and Frequency Management) software. Available as a free download from Sennheiser's Website, the SIFM software enables the rapid calculation of intermodulation-free radio frequencies for wireless microphone and monitoring systems.
"It's probably the one thing indispensable to getting 21 channels of RF spread out across four different frequency groups to work together. Learning about intermodulation and using SIFM have made it exponentially easier to keep all this wireless working," says Deems. "I think it says a lot about Sennheiser as a company that they put this amazing tool on their site for free."
To give the four singers—Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell and A.J. McLean—ambience in their monitor mixes, Deems uses Sennheiser shotgun microphones. "Two of my room mics are MKH 416s. If you want it to sound like the room, just put up a pair of 416s," Deems says.
Tour dates in the U.S. are currently scheduled to begin in August.
