The initial headline indicated that Sylvia Hatchell had been fired. She resigned. The headline has been updated to reflect this change.
With Elon University being situated close to many national athletic powerhouses, it seems as though news is constantly swirling around the Phoenix — though not usually impacting the Phoenix. But after hearing the news that came out of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's women's basketball program on Monday, Elon could be directly affected.
Tar Heel head coach Sylvia Hatchell stepped down April 19 following the completion of a program-wide review. The review, which was conducted by an independent law firm based in Charlotte, found that Hatchell had made "racially insensitive" comments. Also according to the review, Hatchell put pressure on medical staff and players facing injury to play and practice through injury.
So how does this impact Elon?
Current Elon women's head basketball coach Charlotte Smith has long been rumored to be next in line for the top job in Chapel Hill. Smith played under Hatchell from 1991 to 1995. Smith hit the game-winning shot for Hatchell's Tar Heels in the 1994 National Championship game to win UNC its first – and to this date, its only – national championship.
The long-standing thought has been that when Hatchell decides her time in Chapel Hill is over and she wants to retire, Smith will be the one to take over. This look in to the program proved to be enough to persuade Hatchell to leave her post and makes the position available for Smith to claim.
Smith just finished her eighth season as head coach of the Phoenix with her worst record since becoming a head coach. The Phoenix finished 9-21 this season, just her second losing season in her eight years and her first losing record for in-conference play (4-14).
Despite this season, Smith built a nice resume for herself in prior years leading the Phoenix to back-to-back Colonial Athletic Association titles and berths in the NCAA Tournament. This past season was just her third season with Elon in which she didn't win at least one conference tournament game. Smith has earned more wins than any other head coach in Elon's Division I era.
Should Smith depart Elon and make the drive on I-40 East back to where she made her name in basketball, she would be the third Phoenix head coach to depart this academic year. She would join former football head coach Curt Cignetti, who left Elon to join in-conference foe James Madison University, and former men's basketball head coach Matt Matheny, who was fired March 18.

Wellth, a NYC-based platform designed to improve treatment adherence using behavioral economics, raised $10M in Series A funding.
The round was co-led by existing investors yabeo and Boehringer Ingelheim Venture Fund (BIVF) with participation from returning investors AXA Venture Partners, New York Life Ventures, NFP Ventures, Partnership Fund for New York City and I2BF Global Ventures, and new investors Rock Health and DaVita Venture Group. As part of the Series A round, yabeo's Dr. Gerrit Seidel will join Wellth's Board of Directors as the new Chairman of Wellth.
The company plans to use this new capital to expand its platform to new use cases.
Led by CEO and Co-founder Matthew Loper, Wellth provides a platform that enables patients to perform virtual check-ins, such as taking a photo of their medication. Members receive financial incentives, nudges, and behavioral reinforcements to establish healthy, lasting habits. Once enrolled, members use the platform to submit scheduled check-ins aligning with their care plans. Check-ins, typically completed daily, require users to submit a picture of their target behavior at a set time (e.g., medications, glucometer or blood pressure cuff readings). These check-ins are immediately processed by Wellth's AI technology for verification, and insights can be relayed directly to care teams. Members get an easy, motivating experience along with instant gratification in keeping their endowed daily amount, which they "cash out" at milestone intervals throughout the duration of their program.

Over at Tencent Games Carnival 2015, the publisher of Blade & Soul in China announced the 9th class, loosely translated as Qi Master (English name unconfirmed). The new class is showcased in the game trailer below, starting from 2:10 fighting the Destroyer class character. Qi Master wields both Kung Fu Master's and Force Master's weapons at the same time. Below the trailer is a brief Q&A with NCsoft.
Q: How hard is it to play as Qi Master? What is this class' role in PVE and PVP?
A: Qi Master is the essence of Kung Fu Master and Force Master, but it is not as simple as 1 plus 1. This class is able to handle both melee (high explosive damage) and long range (heal and support). Qi Master is easy to play, but hard to master. For PVE, this class can be DPS and also support and revive team members. For PVP, players must know how to switch between melee and long range.
Q: Will there be a Mentor and Disciple system added?
A: For this, Tencent Games provided us with much feedback. The aim of this system is to allow veteran players to guide new players, pick up the ropes and from there, form a strong community. Blade & Soul was indeed lacking when it comes to new player guiding, and will look into the Mentor and Disciple system once Mushin Tower, Clan, world boss, and 24-man dungeons get updated.
Q: When will the wings system go live?
A: The wings system has already completed development, but we are still adjusting certain elements. Wings are cosmetic items which will not affect battles.
Q: Any information regarding a new class beyond the Qi Master?
A: Qi Master will arrive this winter, and there will be a new class next year as well. It will not be a hybrid, and has yet to appear in the game before. All I can say is, it is a class which has been highly-anticipated for some time.

Author: Atilla BektoreCondition: NewFormat: PaperbackPages: 608Publisher: iUniverseYear: 2007ISBN: 9780595385249
A gripping true tale of life in Russia, Turkey, and the United States, A Nomad's Journey shares the incredible story of Atilla Bektore and his father, Shevki Bektore. Born in Dobruja, Rumania, in 1888, Shevki Bektore dreams of being a teacher in his ancestral land of the Crimea. When the horrifying events of World War I alter his plans, he joins countless millions of others whose hopes and dreams are shattered in the maelstrom of war and revolution. Arrested in 1932 on trumped-up charges of treason, Shevki spends over twenty-two years of his life as an inmate in Stalin's Gulags in Central Asia and Siberia. Told within the context of contemporary world events, A Nomad's Journey focuses on major milestones of world history that include World War I and the fall of world empires, the birth of Bolshevik Russia, World War II, the demise of the Soviet Union, and the rise of the United States as the sole world superpower. Shevki's compelling story of survival, combined with his son's endurance in the face of World War II, Stalin's iron rule, and the turmoil of the 1960s and 1970s, creates a stunning memoir of these two extraordinary men.
The deeply personal follow-up to Alan Partridge's deeply personal autobiography, I, Partridge, charting the highs, lows and mediums of his one-man walking tour around (certain parts of) Britain.

When considering what are the best warm up exercises for horses before a competition, bear in mind that the warm up should include three stages in order for it to be most beneficial and allow the horse to perform at their best.
Here are some top tips to help your achieve the best result you possibly can with your horse while competing…
1. Passive warm-up for horses
Make the body warm. This often entails using something external like an exercise rug, even before the rider gets on, as well as a gentle walk. The horse should not be standing outside uncovered on a cold day or the blood vessels will be constricted.
2. General warm-up techniques
This is not specific to discipline and will take the form of walk, slow trot and canter, maintaining a pretty low heart-rate. The horse should not be stretched or pulled, but be able to jog along at a relaxed and comfortable rate.
With a talented horse, this would be long, low and round, but the conformation of some horses will not allow them to work like this easily. At this stage in the warm-up, the muscles, tendons and ligaments might not be flexible enough in some horses, so do not force the issue.
Working in long and low helps to warm up the back and activate the horse's core muscles. If the horse's head is in the air, its back tends to be fixed, rather than engaged. Physiologically and mechanically, long and low is the ideal way to do this part of the warm-up if the horse finds it easy.
This stage should involve general movements, working the different muscle groups, including gradual flexing to either side without pulling anything too tight.
Keep direct transitions to a minimum because they make the horse work its body hard and raise the heart-rate. A horse in the wild will only change its gait when it is energetically efficient to do so.
People often miss out this second stage of warming up if they're in a rush, but it's absolutely essential. If short on time, it is preferable only to work up to this point, rather than skip it.
3. Specific warm-up exercises for horses
Finally, start practising the types of movement you will be using following the warm-up.
Direct transitions, tighter circles and specific movements can now be incorporated. Jumping would be introduced towards the end of this time.
For competition, you want to practise the nerve-muscle patterns that you will be using in the arena. But this must be balanced so that the horse is not made to work too strenuously and will leave his best work for the practice ring.
For a power discipline, such as dressage or jumping, we have to be careful not to exhaust the energy (glycogen) stores by jumping too much or spending 20 minutes in piaffe.
As a general rule, this warm-up stage should take place about 20 minutes before competition.

The Falcons are 3-9, but if you're looking for a reason to plop down on your chair this Sunday and suffer through another week, today's news gives you a pretty reasonable one. Chris Lindstrom, the first pick of the team's 2019 draft class, will return for the first time since suffering a fractured foot in Week 1 against the Vikings. He is going to start at right guard, giving us our first real glimpse of where this offensive line could be heading into 2020.
Dan Quinn said rookie right guard Chris Lindstrom, who returned to practice off broken foot, will be activated
— vaughn mcclure (@vxmcclure23) December 6, 2019
It goes without saying why this is so promising. The last time we saw Atlanta's offensive line they were surrendering nine sacks to the New Orleans Saints, including three on the final drive with a chance to tie the game. Kaleb McGary has performed admirably at times, even though he struggled on Thanksgiving, but the two guards brought in this offseason – Jamon Brown and James Carpenter – have not been the answer. Both might not even be around for the second year of their contracts.
Mcclure also reported to expect for Matt Gono to see some action at right guard as well. Lindstrom, while starting, will not play the entire game. Gono, an undrafted free agent, showed tons of promise at tackle in the preseason, which led to him making the 53-man roster. Considering the number of injuries and poor play across the offensive line, I'm a bit surprised that it took this long for him to see the field. Hopefully, he can show that he can be an answer to some of the Falcons problems on the line, as we look towards next season.
In more positive injury news, Atlanta will also have Julio Jones, and Austin Hooper activated for this game. Jones missed Thursday's contest against the Saints after injuring his shoulder the week before. Hooper hasn't played in a month, missing the last three games with an MCL sprain. It's notable because, along with Lindstrom, this will be the first look we've had at the offense at full strength since Week 1. That should be reason enough for you to waste three more hours on your Sunday watching these Falcons

Digital Stories: Voices from Foster Care Youth
Digital Storytelling is the practice of using computer-based tools to tell stories. As with traditional storytelling, most digital stories focus on a specific topic. The Children's Bureau, within the Administration for Children and Families, in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, has created a series of digital stories about youth who have been impacted by the child welfare system. A primary theme of these stories is to focus on well-being and positive youth development is intertwined throughout this series. Each of the stories in this series contains real life experiences and personal stories of overcoming tragedy or diversity.
Here are just a few examples of the stories you will find:
Digital stories usually contain some mixture of computer-based images, text, recorded audio narrative, video clips and/or music that the young people select as representative of the story they are sharing. The topics that are used in Digital Storytelling generally range from personal stories to the recounting of historical events, from exploring life in one's own community to the search for a better future, and everything in between. Each story is about two to four minutes and only contains what the youth themselves felt comfortable to share.
It is the collaboration of the National Resource Center for Youth Development (NRCYD), the National Resource Center for Permanency and Family Connections (NRCPFC) and a group of eight young leaders who experienced the foster care system throughout the state of Oklahoma, California and Nevada.

November 20, 2020
T-Mobile said San Francisco regulators aren't moving at the speed of 5G.
In a new lawsuit filed this week against the city and county's department of building inspection, T-Mobile alleges that San Francisco officials haven't acted quickly enough on its requests to modify and upgrade its cell sites with 5G.
"Particularly in light of the significant increase in demand driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has emphasized the importance of new technologies, such as 5G, distance learning and a robust network, T-Mobile needs to modify and upgrade many of its existing wireless installations in the city of San Francisco," T-Mobile wrote in the lawsuit.
T-Mobile said it has "encountered significant delays" in getting approvals for 27 different cell site upgrade applications. "The city had not acted on the applications even by late October 2020, well over 60 days after they were submitted," the operator wrote, pointing to the FCC's new "shot clock" that requires cities to act on 5G operators' cell site upgrade applications within 60 days.
"Congress and the FCC have sought to eliminate barriers and streamline the regulatory review process to facilitate deployment and modification of wireless communications infrastructure necessary for the efficient creation of new and upgraded wireless networks such as 5G," T-Mobile explained in the filing.
Officials from San Francisco's building department did not immediately respond to questions about the lawsuit. T-Mobile is in the early stages of a five-year, $60 billion 5G network upgrade program.
Racing over objections
The lawsuit is just the latest development in a long-running legal battle between the wireless industry and some local officials over how exactly 5G cell towers should be built. On the industry side, operators, vendors and some federal policymakers argue that 5G is important to the economy and national security and therefore requires nationwide regulations to make it easier and quicker for operators to construct 5G cell sites all over the country. On the other side stand some local officials who bristle at the notion that they can't have complete control over the construction or modification of cell towers in their own neighborhoods.
The issue came to a head in 2018, when the FCC approved rules intended to limit the amount of money cities could charge wireless network operators for the installation of small cells. The rules also require cities to move quickly on small cell installation requests.
Dozens of cities and city representatives – ranging from Seattle to Atlanta to Dallas to the League of California Cities – filed a lawsuit to block the rules. However, just a few months ago, a federal appeals court mostly upheld the FCC's rules.
Indeed, the FCC in June voted again to clarify and strengthen its rules around the issue, specifically concerning when the 60-day shot clock for local review begins. Those new guidelines sit at the heart of T-Mobile's lawsuit. "The city has failed to act on T-Mobile's applications," the operator complained.
To be clear, T-Mobile isn't the only operator who has turned to the courts to speed up its network's rollout. Verizon and others have been tied to similar legal efforts around the country.
Permitting woes remain
Despite the FCC's new rules and other legislation on the topic at the state level, some big players in the space continue to see lengthy permitting timelines. For example, executives from Crown Castle have said they're still allocating 18-36 months to construct a small cell, which is essentially a mini cell tower that can sit atop a building or light pole.
"The majority of that [18-36 months] being zoning, permitting and utility work that has to be done," explained Crown Castle CFO Dan Schlanger during a recent investor event, according to a Seeking Alpha transcript.
Crown Castle has emerged as an important bellwether in the space because it is the only major public cell tower company to fully embrace the small cell sector. While its peers like American Tower and SBA Communications continue to mostly focus on large, "macro" towers, Crown Castle is working to construct thousands of new small cells, putting it in the heart of the permitting and zoning issue.
Crown Castle currently operates around 70,000 small cells across the country, and has been working on switching on around 10,000 small cells per year. The company argues that the US market will eventually need more than 1 million total cell sites to support full-blown 5G networks.

The Netflix limited series Halston follows the legendary fashion designer, played by Ewan McGregor, as he leverages his single, invented name into a worldwide fashion empire that's synonymous with luxury, sex, status and fame, literally defining the era he lives in, 1970's and '80's New York—until a hostile takeover forces him to battle for control of his most precious asset…the name Halston itself. The series is Executive Produced by Ryan Murphy, Ian Brennan, Alexis Martin Woodall, Ewan McGregor, Daniel Minahan, Eric Kovtun, Sharr White, and Christine Vachon and Pamela Koffler of Killer Films. Minahan also serves as the series director.
Says Barr: "Halston is my second limited series with team Ryan Murphy, following last year's critically acclaimed and fan-favorite Hollywood. To help pull the audience into Ewan's stunning portrayal of Halston, I leaned heavily on complex themes and motifs in an 80's synth setting that spoke to Halston's brilliant yet tortured nature. Just as Halston sought to create a persona and vision for himself that was often at odds with his inner struggles with identity and creativity, so the score seeks to portray this with the music."
Emmy-winning composer Nathan Barr is known for his incredible range as a composer, deftly moving between many genres and styles, always incorporating unusual instruments and putting a focus on melody. This versatility for which he has become known is displayed most recently in the hit Amazon Studios/Alan Ball comedy-drama Uncle Frank, starring Paul Bettany; Amazon Studios'/Legendary Television's fantasy period drama Carnival Row, starring Orlando Bloom and Cara Delevingne; Hulu's The Great, starring Elle Fanning and Nicholas Hoult; and Ryan Murphy's Netflix series Hollywood, for which Barr received an Emmy Award for Outstanding Original Main Title Theme Music. Barr's upcoming projects include the Netflix original action film Kate, starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Woody Harrelson; second seasons of both The Great and Carnival Row; a second collaboration with Ryan Murphy for Netflix, Halston, starring Ewan McGregor; and Eli Roth's upcoming Lionsgate action-adventure film, Borderlands, starring Cate Blanchett, Jack Black and Kevin Hart.
Barr's diverse roster includes some of television's biggest shows. He has scored all six seasons of FX's The Americans, which earned him an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Original Main Title Theme Music; all seven seasons of HBO's mega-hit True Blood; Netflix's Hemlock Grove, for which he earned his second Emmy nomination for the main title theme category; and more recently all three seasons of Amazon's con-man drama Sneaky Pete, starring Giovanni Ribisi.
Barr has the distinction of being the first composer to have two Emmy nominations in the Main Title category in the same year. He has achieved this distinction twice with The Americans and Hemlock Grove in 2013, and Hollywood and Carnival Row in 2020.
Alongside his extensive career in television, Barr has a long record of scoring successful films as he approaches his 50th feature. A frequent collaborator of gore-horror master Eli Roth, Barr scored his early cult-classics Cabin Fever and Hostel and more recently The House With A Clock In It's Walls, starring Cate Blanchett and Jack Black. Some of his other feature scores include Jason Blum's box office hit thriller The Boy Next Door, starring Jennifer Lopez, and Universal Pictures' controversial satire, The Hunt.
In addition to composing, Nathan is a multi-instrumentalist and regularly includes in his work instruments from his large collection such as a human bone trumpet from Tibet, a dismantled piano, a rare Glass Armonica, and gourd cellos, among others. The gem of his collection is a 3 manual, 19 rank Wurlitzer Theater Organ with 1,366 pipes. The organ lived on the scoring stage at 20th Century Fox from 1928-1997, and can be heard in dozens of scores by legendary composers such as Bernard Herrmann, Alex North, Jerry Goldsmith, and John Williams. It is now the centerpiece of Nathan's recently-completed Bandrika Studios, a 9,000 sq ft scoring stage and recording facility conceived by Nathan as a permanent home for this history-rich instrument. Featured in Variety and The Wall Street Journal, Bandrika has already established itself as a world-class recording space and a part of Barr's increasingly unique vision.
Nathan Barr currently resides in Los Angeles, California.

Built by Augustinian monks in the 13th century, and surrounded by England's longest medieval filled water moat, the beautiful Michaelham Priory is nestled within a seven-acre garden in Cuckmere Valley, and holds stories to share from over 800 years.
Since its construction by a group of Augustinians in 1229, Michelham has been moulded across the ages. Owned in Tudor times by Thomas Cromwell and Anne of Cleves, by World War II it became a shelter for those seeking respite from the war, and in later life as a country house. Its interactive rooms include Victorian and Tudor kitchens, an evacuee's bedroom from the Second World War, a Prior's room, and an Undercroft. Within these rooms are exhibitions and activities to explore - including hands-on furniture and artifact activities, as well as dressing up clothes for visiting children. If you really want to try your hand at medieval pastimes, the House hosts weekend archery classes on the lawn, and you can watch the millers and blacksmith at work at the historic watermill and forge.
Beyond the house and its watermill and forge, discover a church, dovecote shop, a 14th-century gatehouse, along with a Bronze Age roundhouse, an Elizabethan Barn, a chapterhouse, and a dormitory. The grounds also include a courtyard cafe, which sources ingredients from the Priory's medieval herb garden, and a playground.
The 13th-century moat combines both Medieval and modern, with a Hortus Conclusus - an enclosed, spiritual orchard - and a nature conservation area. Here live dragonflies, kingfishers, woodpeckers, and cuckoos, among the swathes of yellow fringed lilies and purple loosestrife indigenous water plants.
Michelham Priory is reachable by walking and cycling routes from within the stunning surrounds of the Cuckmere Valley, as well as the nearby Berwick and Polegate train stations.
In half terms, Michelham Priory is open between 11:00 - 16:00 every day.
Between 1st March - 30th September, 10:30 - 17:00 every day.
Between 1st October - 30th November, 11:00 - 16:00 every day.
Between 1st - 20th December, weekends only, 11:00 - 16:00.
Michelham Priory is open throughout the year for groups, school groups, events and weddings.

#3003 assigned Bug
Using a function call in an array assignment causes 2 function calls
Reported by: | jguinch | Owned by: | Jon |
Milestone: | Component: | AutoIt | |

"myFunction" appears two times in the output console, but it should once.

Also, this code is a good example of what happends :
Local $aArray[1] $aArray[ 0 * MsgBox(0, "", "Appears twice") ] = MsgBox(0, "", "Appears once")
comment:2 follow-up: ↓ 3 Changed 9 years ago by Melba23
Interesting that it does not do the same when you set the function to a variable:
Local $aArray[1] $aArray[ _Function() ] = "myString" ConsoleWrite(@CRLF) $hFunction = _Function() $aArray[ $hFunction ] = "myString" Func _Function() ConsoleWrite("_Function @ " & @MSEC & @CRLF) Sleep(100) Return 0 EndFunc

Replying to Melba23:
Interesting that it does not do the same when you set the function to a variable
Not very interesting. You assign the return value of the function to a variable and then evaluate that variable expression (twice).
comment:4 Changed 9 years ago by jguinch
I don't really understand what you mean in comment3...
comment:5 Changed 9 years ago by BrewManNH
You're calling the function to get the returned value for the array assignment, then you're calling it again when you actually set the value to the array. Run this modification to your code to see what's happening.
#include <Array.au3> Local $aArray[2] $aArray[ _myFunction() ] = "myString" _ArrayDisplay($aArray) Func _myFunction() Local Static $Return = -1 ConsoleWrite("_myFunction = " & $Return & @CRLF) $Return += 1 Return $Return EndFunc
It calls the function the first time to see what element of the array to set it to, then when AutoIt does the actual declaration for the element it calls it again to see where it's going. You'll notice that the only element with anything in it is $aArray[1] because that's what the return value is when you set the string to the array.
So, I don't know if this is a bug, but it looks like a bad idea to use a function call to determine where in an array to put something, at least don't do it in the actual declaration statement, because you won't be able to be 100% sure it's going where you think it's going.

@BrewManNH : you pointed exatly what I was trying to do to assist a forum user in this thread : http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/169135-flexibility-with-declaring-an-array/
I wanted to post this kind of code :
#Include <Array.au3> Local $a[10] $a[ _i() ] = "First row" $a[ _i() ] = "Second row" $a[ _i() ] = "Third row" _ArrayDisplay($a) Func _i() Local Static $iIndex = -1 $iIndex += 1 Return $iIndex EndFunc
But when I saw the result, I decided to write a ticket here.
For me, it is a bug, but you decid :-)
If not, maybe something about this "bad" uasge should appear in the help file

the lampstand also for the light, with its utensils and its lamps, and the oil for the light;
You shall take the anointing oil and pour it on his head and anoint him.
and unleavened bread, unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers smeared with oil. You shall make them of fine wheat flour.

Shearing sheep for fiber artists
MATTITUCK, N.Y. (FOX 5 NY) - Some sheep on Long Island had a spa day.
Twice a year, professional shearer Tabbethia Haubold visits Browder's Birds on the East End of Long Island. One by one, the flock is getting sheared for the summer.
"They're itching, scratching, there's moisture under there," Haubold said. "They'll feel good after this."
But hundreds of pounds of wool can cost tens of thousands of dollars to be spun into yarn. Unsure of what to do with it all, Holly Browder and her husband Chris decided to take part in the Shave 'Em to Save 'Em challenge sponsored by the Livestock Conservancy.
The goal is for fiber artists to buy directly from farms that raise purebred sheep on the endangered list. Cotswold sheep, the breed that the Browder's Birds raises, is known for long curls and strong wool.
"It's amazing how much wool a single sheep can produce," said Holly Browder, co-owner of Browder's Birds. "And when you're growing a flock it multiplies so we're talking about hundreds of pounds of wool every season."
"We've shipped wool all over the country," Chris Browder said. "It can be in as little as four ounces or several pounds."
The wool is skirted and then bagged. It is either sold raw to fiber artists across the country or sent to an upstate mill that spins yarn to be processed into clothes and accessories.
"We're looking to get the fleece off in one piece and trying to get as close to the skin as possible so the fleece is a consistent staple for them to turn it into yarn or a finished product," Haubold said.
It's farm to fashion. Cotswold wool sells for about $12 to $15 a pound.
Browder's Birds also sells hand-knit sweaters and cable-knit blankets starting at $150 at the farm stand.

Signed in as:
The 'nudge' concept, that we have incorporated into our psychological services, emerged from the work of the Nobel-Prize winning Economist, Richard H. Thaler; the key idea of 'nudge', that influenced and guided the development of our psychological services, is that people will be more likely to adopt behaviours that promote their well-being and personal effectiveness if the behaviours in question are made easy to acquire and develop.
Nudge psychology enables you, with minimum effort, to acquire & develop the important psychological strengths & skills of effective planning for goal achievement, self-empowerment, resilience, and positive outlook.
The powerful personal development changes that emerge from nudge psychology arise from the fact that it provides fast and relatively easy access to tools and techniques that have emerged from research in Positive Psychology, Sports Psychology, Occupational Psychology, Mindfulness and Neuroscience.
Nudge theory was described and brought to popular attention in the book, 'Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness', (Thaler & Sunstein, 2008), and the 'nudge' concept has been successfully employed by governments worldwide to influence a wide range of behaviours, from paying tax promptly to registering for organ donation.

Whether you like your music with a healthy dose of distortion or not, one thing is for sure – London's Dead Arms make one hell of a racket and they certainly don't waste any time letting you know. Their latest release – All The Hits – comes in like a lion with the thundering Ramparts and ends 10 ear-destroying songs later with the raging Residential Evil.
Rooted in the Fugazi-Big Black-Scratch Acid noise rock sound, Dead Arms, like contemporaries Metz, are heavy on the bass. Whether it's the in-your-face buzz of the Danny 5 Bands' Lemmy like bass, or the pummeling assault of Kitty Techno's wicked kick drum, the only way to describe the sound this rhythm section makes together is to imagine what it's like to use a jackhammer inside a shipping container.
Throw in Phil Glitter's manic guitar and the Rollins/Yow-esque bluster of vocalist General Waste and you have a band that makes it very difficult to pin down. You could just say Dead Arms are a noise rock band, but for me, I just keep thinking man, this stuff reminds me of Discharge and GBH and it makes me want to jump in the pit, guzzle beer and swear like a sailor.
Just have a listen, you won't be disappointed.
We are…
General Waste (has the beard)
Phil Glitter (has the riffs)
Kitty Techno (has the beats)
Danny 5 Bands (has 5 Bands)
People say we sound like….
A glorious racket by some, whilst others have mentioned Part Chimp, Pissed Jeans, The Jesus Lizard and 80s Matchbox B-Line Disaster.
We are originally from…..
Villages and towns around the UK but we all met each other in London
How did you become Dead Arms and what's with the name?
Originally we were known as Wet T-Shirt Competition but our original drummer Dave Maintenance quit to concentrate on his more successful projects (Death Pedals, ShitWife and Ladyscraper) so we asked our mate Kitty Techno if she's join us, and she said yes! We changed the name, wrote more songs and actually became fairly proficient.
Kitty came up with the name, not sure how but it was the only one we all agreed on.
What music has had an influence on your sound?
We're part of a thriving DIY scene in London so we get influenced by a whole bunch of great bands we've seen and played with, we wanted to be a bit of a party band though, hence the short songs and simple structures – we love folks to have a dance whilst they're getting assaulted by sound.
Tell us about the scene in London…
We've all been part of various bands and DIY collectives over the years promoting our own shows and releases and generally helping each other out. Our label Rip This Joint is one of the most successful of these groups and all four of us are involved with it in some form or other.
Tell us about your live show…
Varied. If we play first on a bill it can be really tight and aggressive but once we're a little "lubricated" the magic really happens.
How does the city's musical history, or landscape influence your sound?
When you only play warehouses, run down boozers and basements you kinda have to play fast and loud.
What influences the band lyrically?
The current shit heap that capitalism and greed has created throughout the world…and rude words.
Our most memorable gig ever was….
Probably our album release party, played with some great bands, got drunk, had a laugh…Perfect night
If you could pick any time to travel back to for music, where would you go and what year would it be….
General Waste: 1960-1962 to watch the Beatles in Hamburg. I bet it was raw as fuck.
Phil Glitter: Washington DC, around 1988, Fugazi, enough said.
Kitty Techno: August 1991, at the "Love Rock Revolution Girl Style Now" show
Danny 5 Bands: I would use it to watch all 5 of my bands
Growing up, at home we listened to…..
General Waste: My dad played a lot of The Spencer Davis Group and Manfred Mann and my mum was into Motown and Phil Collins so naturally, I listened to Body Count and The Pet Shop Boys a lot.
Phil Glitter: My parents forced me to listen to Dire Straits, Paul Simon, Tina Turner and lots of Irish folk, which should explain our sound.
Kitty Techno: A healthy mix of Rage Against the Machine and Spice Girls
Danny 5 Bands: Anything that sounds like one of my current 5 bands
What tunes are on heavy rotation for you…
General Waste: I have a one year old son so mostly nursery rhymes but he does love RL Burnside's 'Let My Baby Ride' so that gets hammered daily.
Phil Glitter: The Stooges 'Shake Appeal', that's it.
Kitty Techno: Currently, Petrol Girls, Kaki King, new Love of Diagrams, new Sleater-Kinney, Deep Heat
Danny 5 Bands: Just stuff from my 5 bands
If you could open for any band right now who would that be and why?
General Waste: Faith No More (Mike Patton is my all time favourite vocalist)
Phil Glitter: Death Pedals or USA Nails, cause one of us gets to play twice in a night.
Kitty Techno: hmmm…Retox
Danny 5 Bands: Any one of my other bands
If you could only bring ONE record (you can all answer if you like) in the tour van what would it be?
General Waste: Probably The Bronx – II (properly gets me in the mood for a show)
Phil Glitter: Hot Snakes – Audit In Progress, I'll never get bored of that record. Or possibly Dire Straits, Brothers In Arms.
Kitty Techno: Tina Turner – Foreign Affair
Danny 5 Bands: How can I pick one record from all of my bands!
When you're not playing and have some time off, where could we find you…
General Waste: At home knee deep in baby shit reading comics
Phil Glitter: In front of my computer doing band admin, at a band practice or at the pub. Really can't think of anything else I do!
Kitty Techno: Time off the day job? hmm, probably visiting my nephew and niece. Or going for a nice long run. Rock and roll!
Danny 5 Bands: I have 5 bands….
The one thing we want you to remember while you're listening to our music….
That even though the world is one fucked up place every little thing you do to try and make it better and to take care of others is important.
What's up for 2015?
We're currently in discussion regarding a song to cover for a compilation album. Current bands under consideration are The Ramones, The Sonics, L7, The Stooges, Supergrass and Shampoo.
If anyone has any ideas, please let us know….
