If you're looking for a new WordPress theme, one name you'll almost certainly come across is Elegant Themes.

Access to each of their topics (for example their flagship'Divi' theme — more on this below) and plugins will probably set you back $89 annually , making them quite competitively priced.

But is Elegant Themes the ideal choice for your project? Let's find out.
WordPress Themes
Let's start looking at the several themes available, before moving on to this plugins.As mentioned, signing up for Elegant Themes provides you access to 87 WordPress themes for the price of what you can pay for just 1 theme elsewhere.

While Divi, and, to a lesser extent, Extra, are multipurpose themes that can be used to make any type of site, the other topics are more focused on a specific kind of project. |} It's possible you could discover a theme from that the Elegant Themes back catalog that's right for your site. But if you really want to take advantage of what Elegant Themes must offer and has been working for the past couple of decades, you should only consider the Divi and Extra themes from their collection.While signing up with Elegant Themes gets you access to Divi, among the very best WordPress topics around, along with the remarkable Extra magazine motif, don't get too excited about another 85 alternatives.

As stated earlier in this review, the team supporting Divi and Extra have also generated a number of high-quality WordPress plugins. By joining Elegant Themes on each the mid-level $89 Developer program or the top tier $249 Lifetime Access plan, you gain access to every one of these plugins.
Let's have a look.
The Divi Builder plugin relies on the page builder tool that's incorporated in the Divi and Extra topics. |} The Divi Builder that's found in the latest edition of the Divi and Extra themes features a front-end user interface. But, this update hasn't been applied to the Divi Builder plugin yet (it'll be added later on ). Because this is a standalone plug, you can take advantage of this version of this Divi Builder using any WordPress theme.The Divi Builder plugin can still be used to make custom page designs, albeit through a backend builder interface. Through this interface, you can create innovative page designs featuring several rows and columns. Any of the 46 customizable content modules can be added to your designs, with the capability to drag and drop them into position.Other useful features of the Divi Builder plugin have the ability to rapidly replicate any page component, copying and pasting inside the builder, unlimited undos and redos, and a simple way to add custom CSS for your pages.The Divi Builder plugin now makes it effortless to save any layout, section, or module into your own library for reuse elsewhere on your site. If you upgrade any of the library products, you're able to selectively apply these changes to each instance of the thing during your site.Even if you're not using a motif from Elegant Themes, you should have the ability to utilize Divi Builder to customize your WordPress site. Therefore, if you would rather use a more minimal motif (like the ones produced by StudioPress instead of Divi) but you still want the ability to create custom designs for your content, then the Divi Builder plugin could be a good choice.Divi Builder compares favorably to another drag-and-drop page builder plugins for WordPress. However, until the dwell front-end editor is added into the plugin, you will find more user-friendly WordPress site builder plugins out there. Elegant Themes News

Warning: MAJOR spoilers ahead for Game of Thrones up to episode 608
Game of Thrones is a series that features literally the biggest cast in television history, ranging from the heavy-hitters of Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage), Jon Snow (Kit Harington), and Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) to the dearly departed, such as Eddard Stark (Sean Bean), Tywin Lannister (Charles Dance), and Stannis Baratheon (Stephen Dillane).
Taken in the aggregate, the show does a remarkable job of balancing all of these various characters, giving each a handful of substantive moments each season. But there is the tendency for a number of these individuals to get lost in the narrative shuffle and to be left out in the metaphorical (or, sometimes, literal!) woods for episodes – or, even, entire seasons – on end.
As we come barreling to the last two installments of the show's biggest season yet, it's time to take stock of which individuals have yet to get their full due in the season six sun (particularly considering that episode 609 looks to exclusively focus on Jon Snow). This is our list of the 10 Most Underused Characters In Game Of Thrones.
10 Rickon Stark
The youngest of all five Stark children (sorry, Jon Snow – you and your bastard ways don't count), Rickon (Art Parkinson) is more of a background element than an actual character with growth, development, or even a personality. But he still has a payoff – his capture by Ramsay Bolton (Iwan Rheon), the new Warden of the North, and the death of his direwolf, Shaggydog, stand testament to this.
Still, even here, he's more of a plot device for Jon and Sansa Stark's (Sophie Turner) arcs than a character of his own. This is, on the one hand, somewhat unavoidable; even author George R.R. Martin barely touches Rickon, and even has him missing for entire novels at a time. But, then again, the writer does this with a lot of his cast, and showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss have had no problem inserting these other largely MIA characters into Game of Thrones's narrative – particularly if, as in the case with Robb Stark (Richard Madden) in the second season, they have some major developments coming up.
Here's to hoping that Rickon will not only get some more screen time, but also some sort of actual growth.
9 Gendry
Oh, Gendry (Joe Dempsie) – the bastard blacksmith that has royal blood running through his veins and a storyline that has unceremoniously cut him out of the mix for more than three years now.
In the source material, Gendry suffers the same fate as Rickon – he's a marginal, mostly background player who is left behind with the brotherhood without banners (much like Hot Pie [Ben Hawkey]) and is never seen again, most likely because both his "arc" and his narrative usefulness are both used up. Still, on the small screen, the executive producers opted to make something more of him, utilizing him as the Lady Melisandre's (Carice van Houten) intended sacrificial offering instead of some third party (of which many populate Martin's pages) and, therefore, simultaneously giving him an expanded role in the television plot and something of a cliffhanger ending. They'll need to address this dangling story thread at some point, especially considering that we don't have much time left now.
Oh, well – at least the fandom has taken this opportunity to endlessly produce a series of funny memes on the subject.
8 The Blackfish
House Tully – that's the family that Lady Catelyn Stark (Michelle Fairley) was born into – is not a dominant player in the Song of Ice and Fire novels, but it is a constant-and-nonetheless-important force in the regional game of thrones. Riverrun is a castle that King Robb Stark makes his temporary field headquarters in as early as the first book, and its family members all get various levels of development before all hell breaks loose at the Red Wedding.
Given the strict time constraints of a season of television – and, perhaps more importantly, given the budgetary limitations, even on HBO – it's no surprise that Riverrun, specifically, and the Tullys, generally, were held off on for two long years. The flip side to this, of course, is that when audiences finally get introduced to the likes of Ser Brynden the Blackfish (Clive Russell) and Lord Edmure (Tobias Menzies), they don't get much time to become familiarized with them – and then they drop off the face of Westeros for the next three years.
Now that the story has nearly come full circle and it's time to start wrapping up all of these various threads, the Blackfish's grand return falls a little flat – we can call it the Rickon Syndrome – even if his departure was otherwise well-executed. Perhaps audiences can get to spend more time with Edmure before all is said and done, thereby helping to salvage the Tully situation.
7 Benjen Stark
Yes, Game of Thrones has, by this point, deployed the character of Uncle Benjen Stark (Joseph Mawle) more than George Martin has hitherto in the novels. But Weiss and Benioff have done so by actually appropriating another character from the page – a mysterious undead figure known only as Coldhands – and given his role (and, apparently, his identity) to the long-lost uncle.
Here's the story: the former Night's Watch brother who is dead but never transformed (fully) into a wight comes to save Samwell Tarly (John Bradley-West) and Gilly (Hannah Murray) on their trek from Craster's Keep back to the Wall. Once there, he picks up Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead Wright) and his company and escorts them to where the Three-Eyed Raven (Max von Sydow) is hiding out. Along the way, he exposes the characters and the reader to some hidden magic at the Wall and tracks down and murders some of the mutineers who assassinated Lord Commander Jeor Mormont (because, in the books, Jon never left to go on his revenge quest, like he did in the fourth season).
It will be something truly special to see Benjen, a character who has been off-screen for five years(!), get even half of this material to play with throughout the remainder of season six (even if Benioff and Weiss have generally downplayed magic as much as humanly possible in the series).
(Want to learn everything there is to know about the connections between Benjen and Coldhands? Be sure to check out our complete guide.)
6 Melisandre
Melisandre has one of the most interesting character arcs currently in the series – and that's saying a lot, given the breadth and depth of the storylines playing out in the sixth season. She started off as an absolute zealot who ended up being almost completely wrong on every front and, as a consequence, losing her faith – only to regain it when almost accidentally performing one of the biggest miracles we've seen in a show that features blood magic and fire-breathing dragons: bringing Lord Commander Snow back to life.
Of course, stuffed in the middle of all this is the revelation that she's some several centuries old and engages in the practice of disguising her real age (and, just possibly, her real identity). This is a most literal manifestation of the series's overriding concerns with deception and subterfuge and secret identities, and it makes her one of the most interesting characters. Only now, she's been completely MIA for most of the year, after she quietly proclaimed that Jon is the prophesized one who will save mankind from the supernatural vengeance of the White Walkers.
It's almost literally a crime for her to not have more follow-up – or, for that matter, resolution.
5 Bran Stark
There are few characters in all of Game of Thrones – or A Song of Ice and Fire, for that matter – who present as much of a thorny problem as young Bran Stark. He is, by the very definition of his character, one of the central-most pieces of the overarching plot – he is the glue that can maintain the forces of fire's cohesion against the encroaching armies of ice, the individual who can tie all of the various strands of the past together with a nice bow in the present to act as a gift to the future. This, obviously, demands a fair amount of screen time and development.
But given the inchoate nature of his powers – and given that training storylines tend to be inherently free of drama, as a general rule of storytelling – there is not much that can be done with Bran until the White Walkers start their invasion of Westeros and the series' endgame is set into motion. This is even a struggle for George Martin in the more forgiving medium of literature; while he doesn't have Bran disappear for an entire season, like Weiss and Benioff did last year, the last book only contained three chapters devoted to the future greenseer.
4 Tyrion Lannister
Yes, we're just as surprised to see Tyrion Lannister on this list as are you – he is arguably the main character of Game of Thrones (well, most of it, at least), and he's certainly author George R.R. Martin's favorite character, by far.
But the truth behind everyone's favorite dwarf is that he has gone entire seasons dominating the storyline (seasons one and two, for instance) and others where he's barely a player (season four, when he spent nearly the entire year incarcerated and awaiting trial). As strange as it may seem, given that he's essentially the regent of the slave city of Meereen, season six has proven to be one of these off years for the Imp, barely having him appear in the current collection of episodes – and barely registering when he's there. (His most memorable moments so far in the sixth season? Freeing the dragons and buying off the supporters of the city's insurgency. He's essentially been a non-presence since.)
This development seems to be the by-product of the showrunners' drastic (and, we think, necessary) streamlining of the Meereenese storyline, stripping out all of the various political factions and subterfuges and leaving only the vague-but-omnipresent Sons of the Harpy as the main throughline. However, now that Queen Daenerys has returned and full-out war has engulfed the city, we imagine Tyrion's involvement – and dramatic payoff – will immediately expand.
Or, at least, we hope so.
3 Euron Greyjoy
Euron Greyjoy (Pilou Asbæk), Theon's (Alfie Allen) long-lost uncle who has just been crowned king of the Iron Islands, has the potential to be the most interesting new character this season -- but viewers would never be able to tell by his depiction thus far in the series. On the screen, Euron is ballsy, openly admitting to regicide and fratricide (in the books, there are fewer taboos more feared than the curse of the kinslayer). But he's actually rather mundane in comparison to his literary counterpart, better known as the Crow's Eye, who wears an eyepatch over a pure black eye, brandishes blue lips (from drinking too much of the warlocks' mysterious wine from Qarth), and is quite honestly insane. His exploits are both legendary and infamous: he not only has supposedly visited the desolated remnants of Valyria, the birthplace of the Targaryens, and stole some magical treasures from there, but also just may, if the hints in the books are to be believed, have committed physical and sexual abuse on his siblings while they were all adolescents.
Asbæk has done an admirable job portraying one of the most out-there characters from the text yet, but he has a long way to go before he even scratches the surface of the Crow's Eye. Here's to hoping that viewers will get to see more of Euron's personality be tapped – and get to see more of the new king, generally, as well.
2 Littlefinger
Of all of Game of Thrones's many, many story threads and character arcs, there are only two individuals who stand at the middle of the narrative storm, attempting to engineer the various developments – and then continue to manipulate them for maximum political and personal gain afterwards. One of these characters, Lord Varys the Spider (Conleth Hill), gets a fair amount of screen time, thanks in no small part to his partnership with Tyrion Lannister; the other, Lord Petyr Baelish (Aidan Gillen), has no such luck, being relegated to, essentially, a bit part over the course of the past two or three years.
This needs to change, and quick; not only does he play an outsized role in the series's mythology, he also is taking on the largest public role in the charade yet, presumably priming him for his long-awaited denouncement, whatever that may be (king of the Seven Kingdoms? Social pariah? Murder victim?). Given that the War of the Five Kings was, essentially, all his own doing, the ramifications for his actions need to be addressed, and in no uncertain way. Indeed, this is one of the most critical elements that needs to be tackled in the story's home stretch.
1 Dorne – yes, all of it
Oh, Dorne – one of Game of Thrones's few out-and-out misses, a storyline that was shorn of much of its on-the-page material (though a move that, in and of itself, isn't inherently misguided, given the relative setup-to-payoff ratio and the amount of other tweaking Weiss and Benioff have applied to the other A Feast for Crows/A Dance with Dragons throughlines). Even worse, its replacement on the show has largely proven to be, politely speaking, subpar – a combination of hackneyed plots, amateurish action scenes, and meme-worthy dialogue (see nearly anything that Tyene Sand [Rosabell Laurenti Sellers] says, particularly to Bronn [Jerome Flynn]).
There are a few redeeming features to this otherwise-ruined plot – seeing Ser Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) and Ser Bronn together almost always results in pure gold – but the out-of-nowhere turn of Ellaria Sand (Indira Varma) assassinating Prince Doran Martell (Alexander Siddig) can go in either direction, being equally redemptive or disastrous. The fact that we haven't seen anyone from Dorne at all since the sixth-season premiere, however, doesn't bode well at all.
Think there's a better contender for most tragically underused character so far this season? Is there enough time left to salvage some of these narrative situations? Let us know in the comments.

When my children were small I made collages with them, hoping I was teaching them how to be creative.
Now it horrifies me to see how many pictures we destroyed.
All with good intentions.
I decided I would make an effort to save as many as I can.
What do I have to lose?
It is actually fun challenging myself to make it work.
This picture is about 25 years old!

Really freaks me out!

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Sherwin-Williams Co., SHW, +1.06% the Cleveland coatings producer, reported first-quarter fell 1.6% on about flat sales. Earnings were $111.8 million, or 83 cents a share, against $113.7 million, or 82 cents, in the year-earlier period. Shares outstanding fell 2.5% to 135 million. A survey of analysts by Thomson Financial produced a consensus estimate of 83 cents a share. Revenue fell 0.7% to $1.76 billion from $1.77 billion. Sales in the Paint Stores Group eased 0.5% to $1.051 billion from the year-earlier $1.056 billion mainly because of "soft domestic architectural paint sales to do-it-yourself customers and to builders and contractors in the weak new residential market," SHW said in a statement. The company sees second-quarter earnings of $1.37 to $1.45 against the year-earlier $1.33. Thomson Financial estimates $1.47. For the year, SHW estimates net at $4.55 to $4.65 a share compared with $4.19 for all of 2006. Sales should rise low single digits percent in 2007, the company said. Thomson Financial's survey sees earnings of $4.60 a share.

Impington Hall was originally built in 1579 by John Pepys. It was built on the site of an old half-manor of Ferme Part. Unfortunately, John did not see the completion of Impington Hall, however he did leave exact instruction as to how he wanted the building to be constructed. This responsibility was passed to his sixth son, Talbot Pepys, who was the uncle of the famous diarist Samuel Pepys.
Talbot was educated at Cambridge University and was a highly regarded gentleman in society. Although Samuel was not in direct succession for the ownership of Impington Hall, he did make a few visits to see his uncle, as recorded in his diary entries during the years of 1661-2:
July 15th, 1661
"At noon took horse again, having taken leave of my cousin Angier and rode to Impington, where I found my old uncle sitting all alone, like a man out of the world: he can hardly see; but all things else he pretty lively."
August 3rd, 1661
"At night I took horse and rode with Roger Pepys and his two brothers to Impington, and with great respect was lead by them to the best chamber in the house, and there slept."
The grandeur and architectural design of Impington Hall was noted by many individuals during the years of the Pepys occupancy, including the Rev. William Cole:
"The House pleased me much and is the best of the sort I ever saw. A noble entrance hall is in the centre with 2 Corinthian pillars on one side. There is a common dining Parlour and Kitchen, and on the other side an elegant Dining Room and Drawing Room, and by the hall a most beautiful Salon and Staircase with an open space to the top of the house with a gallery to which all the bedchambers have entrance, the whole elegantly fitted up and furnished, overloaded with carving and stucco."
After the line of Pepys ended in 1805, the hall passed to the Pine-Coffin family, who, in 1860 sold the property, whereby it was handed between a number of different private owners through auction lots. By 1926, the hall and surrounding land was bought by the Chivers. It is believed that the hall was then used for a variety of classes, including chemistry, cookery, needlework and maths. During WW2, the building became largely derelict, and eventually it was demolished in 1953.

17th September 2012, Tayport
A forward thinking Scottish industrial textiles manufacturer is planning to put ownership of its business into the hands of its employees. Scott & Fyfe Limited, the Tayport based technical textiles manufacturer has announced it will transform itself into an employee owned company. The business is currently owned by the Tough family.
In 1864 Mr Scott & Mr Fyfe started a linen works in the town and the company is now one of the few survivors of the Tayside jute industry. Scott & Fyfe reinvented itself in the 1960s through the early replacement of jute with polypropylene and ongoing commitment to reinvestment in the latest technologies under the chairmanship of Hamish Tough who retired from the company in 2009.
New chairman Professor Nick Kuenssberg and chief executive John Lupton, recruited in 2010, introduced a number of significant changes to ensure a profitable professionally managed business with an innovation and export led strategy at its core, the benefits of which are said to have been recognised by the Tough family.
Hamish Tough and his sons Richard and David, who are both directors of the company, represent the family owners and they have decided that the long term sustainability of the company will be best served by building on this new strategy and also moving to employee ownership.
After months of discussion and consultation within the family and the board, supported by Co-operative Development Scotland, Scottish Enterprise and specialist consultants Baxi Partnership, the dramatic decision was announced to the 100 employees of the company with a detailed presentation last week.
The family will sell all their shares to a newly established Scott & Fyfe Employee Benefit Trust which will always own a majority of the ordinary shares and Richard and David Tough will reinvest the bulk of their proceeds in redeemable preference capital which will be paid out over a period of years.
In parallel a Share Incentive Plan will be set up to facilitate the issue and sale of shares to individual employees. Employees will each receive a one-off award of shares, 5% of the annual profit in shares and will have the opportunity to buy shares each year. Additionally senior employees will benefit from the issue of share options which will depend on satisfaction of demanding performance criteria.
According to the company, in this way only current employees and the Employee Benefit Trust will be ordinary shareholders in the company. All employees will be shareholders and will have the opportunity of building a packet of shares over the years which can be cashed in when they leave the company. Under employee ownership legislation there are said to be significant tax advantages for employees under these schemes which make such shares even more attractive.
Employees will have the right to elect an employee director of the company and to vote at the annual general meeting. They will also elect two trustees for the Employee Benefits Trust and will see the rights of the existing Employee Forum enhanced.
This combination of employee involvement and employee ownership, Scott & Fyfe says, will contribute to the future success of the company and will provide opportunities for employees to build a long term stake in the company.
Company Chairman, Nick Kuenssberg said: "The move by the Tough family is to be welcomed; this development will help to underwrite an exciting future for the company and its employees".
Richard Tough added: "This whole process is complicated and will take time, but we as a family are fully committed to it and look forward to making it work for all concerned, the employees, the company and the Tayport community."
John Lupton, chief executive, commented: "With the right teamwork we can be entitled to a share of the profits, with the right attitude we can add real value and with the right effort we can go out and make it happen. It is a new dawn for everyone at Scott and Fyfe and it is up to us to seize this opportunity."
Sarah Deas, Chief Executive of Co-operative Development Scotland, welcomed the announcement: "We have been working since January with Scott & Fyfe and are delighted to see the company recognise the benefits of employee ownership and follow through with such an ambitious programme".
Scott & Fyfe is a global provider of innovative textiles covering a variety of markets. Included in its product offer are:

There's no need even to have a college degree at all or even high schools. I mean, if somebody graduated from a great university that may be an Indian indication that they will be capable of great things. But it's not necessarily the case. You know, if you look at say people like Bill Gates, Larry Ellison, Steve Jobs these guys didn't graduate from college. But if you had a chance to hire them of course that would be a good idea.
So you know just really looking just for evidence of exceptional ability. And if there's a track record of exceptional achievement, then it's likely that that will continue into the future. How I describe myself well, I mean I seem to have a high innate drive and that's been true even since I was a little kid. You know really had a very strong drive. Did all sorts of risky things for his kid that I like why did I do those things are crazy. I care a lot about the truth of things and trying to understand the truth of things. I think so I think that's important. If you're going to come up with some solution, then the truth is really important I think. I try to think of, I mean it's difficult obviously come up with like things that are praised for oneself You know or like. It there's and there's good and bad here. But I think like sometimes they're just like the things that seem quite clear and obvious to me. I don't understand why they aren't so obvious to everyone.
What does Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and Larry Ellison have in common?
I mean those are pretty different personalities in it between gates and jobs and Alison's at success well. I think you know all all three of those were technologists. But with different types of skills. And their jobs were obviously very good with aesthetics. And you know against the technology of course and you really insert where people wanted even when they didn't know themselves. And he was not afraid to break boundaries. But say like gates would probably be better as you know the sort of raw engineering and technology than jobs but not as good for aesthetics. But I mean for these guys of the obviously very driven, they're very talented and yeah and they're able to attract great people to hold a company. But I needed that like the ability to attract and motivate great people is critical to the success of a company. Because the company is just that's a group of people that are assembled to create a product or service that's the purpose of a company. If you all some of us forget this elementary truth. So if you know if you're able to get great people to join the company and work together towards a common goal. And you sort of have a relentless sense of perfection about that goal. Then you will end up with a great product. And have a great product let's if you will buy. And then we kind of know we'll be successful. Yeah, really it's pretty straightforward. I mean, yeah that's the reason for it. I wouldn't say I'm fearless in fact. I think, I fear, I feel fear quite strongly. But I am if the if what we're doing isn't you know what I'm doing is I think it's important enough then I just override the fear. So but it's not as that I don't feel like a little more stronger. It really depends on the stakes. If the stakes are high if it's really important thing one should then I you know will overcome the fear and just do it anyway.
I essentially I mean I just drive over rights fear. But I feel the fear it's kind of annoying, I wish isn't oh I felt it less. So all these questions are interesting, I don't get the ask these very often. And then like I try to think like, what is like an evident an accurate reply. And somebody said it's like I know it's hard to evaluate yourself on these things.

First, they came for Istanbul. On Tuesday night, three suspected Isis militants launched a brazen assault on Turkey's main airport, exploding their suicide vests after gunning down numerous passengers and airport staff.
At least 45 people were killed. The world panicked; Istanbul Ataturk Airport is one of the busiest hubs in Europe and the Middle East, and it is among the most fortified. Are our airports safe, wondered American TV anchors. Could this happen here on the Fourth of July?
Next, they came for Dhaka. Gunmen whom many have linked to Isis raided a popular cafe in an upscale neighborhood in Bangladesh's teeming capital.
After a 10-hour stand-off, authorities stormed the establishment; at least 20 hostages, mostly Italian and Japanese nationals, died at the militants' hands. US college students also were among the dead. Isis's reach is growing far from the Middle East, security experts fretted. Foreigners are at risk all over the Muslim world.

Rich Mix to host 'rowdy, political knees up' Question Time Cabaret next week
The combination of Question Time and cabaret may well bring to mind some troubling images of David Dimbleby trussed up like Liza Minnelli, but until recently, has never been attempted in real life.
However, artist Talia Randall is indeed crossing those streams, and after a successful first run-out last month in Peterborough, she's lined up a selection of journalists, activists and performers for what she describes as a "fun, rowdy, political knees-up" at Shoreditch's Rich Mix, on Friday 22 September.
Where Peterborough's Question Time Cabaret focused on climate change and climate justice ("we had a performer called Timberlina, a bearded drag queen, singing eco-blues songs about packaging and fatbergs" she recalls), Randall and her guests in Shoreditch will turn their eyes to 'gentrification and the art of the East End'.
Those taking the Rich Mix stage are indeed a rich mix: from the world of journalism, there's Guardian and London Review of Books contributor Dawn Foster and Novara Media's Ash Sarkar; there'll be wordsmiths of a different kind in the form of Hackney poet and debating champ Ife Grillo and fellow modern lyricist Deborah 'Debris' Stevenson.
Randall hosts the evening, and joins two further acts on the bill. The LipSinkers take lip-syncing to pop songs to a level beyond even the most savvy Ru Paul's Drag Race competitor, and mental health campaigner Sanchita Islam will perform some self-described "mental music" with superstar DJ Maya Postepski.
I asked Randall (who has performed at The Roundhouse, Glastonbury, and the Edinburgh Fringe) – why gentrification?
"It's an issue that so many of us are grappling with across the world, but East London seems to be a real focus point for a lot of people…it's kind of a frontline for a lot of these issues.
"We're all complicit in many ways, but we can also feel quite powerless, because we're not quite sure where to put our campaigning energies – do we speak about it to individuals, is it a thing about government, is it landlords?
"Art can be such a joyful form of protest…I'm quite happy to have Question Time Cabaret steeped in dissent and protest, because I think that gentrification is a problem and we need to tackle it."
Randall clearly prefers her conception of Question Time – where serious panel discussion and an inflatable puppet of 'Michael Glove' can happily share the stage – to the original. So what are her thoughts on the original BBC programme?
"It's such a cultural megalith isn't it? But I find it quite difficult to watch – there's a lot of people saying things in a room but not necessarily listening to each other [because] there's not a lot of outlets to express ourselves politically.
"It's like a bottleneck and everything's exploding!"
Question Time Cabaret comes to Rich Mix on Friday 22 September, at 8pm
Admission is £10, although some free tickets are available for those who are unwaged – email email@example.com for details

Kevin O'Hare is the director of the Royal Ballet in London.
Q. You started your career as a dancer when you were very young. Did you think you would become the director of a company like the Royal Ballet?
A. I didn't think that two years ago! My dream was originally just to be on stage, and then when I decided to retrain in management, it was because I liked to be right in the thick of it. I realized that I did have that ambition. The job is the link between the dancers and the management, the orchestra and the marketing and all those people. And you hopefully keep that ship rolling.
Q. What did you learn from people you worked for?
A. It's important to make people feel that they matter, whether you are in the corps de ballet or the top principal. Peter Wright was my director and was really somebody I admire. You could be there in a studio, tired, trying to get the will together, and he was somebody who would walk into the room and not scare you but actually get you enthused about what you're doing. He would say to all the girls, "Each one of you, you're all ballerinas, you're all going to sparkle," and you could see them physically grow.
Q. Dancers are much admired for their discipline. Do you think that discipline helps you as a manager?
A. A lot of that discipline comes from the daily class. You have to be in there at 10:30 a.m. or earlier, and you know that if you miss that more than once or twice in even a month, things will start sliding. It's not even guilt — it's just that you know that that's what makes things possible. So I think from very early on, it's a great lesson to see that if you put the work in, you might not be the greatest dancer in the world, but you will have a career, and it will be a good career. And it's a great equalizer as well, because a star like Marianela Nuñez has to do that, as does the newest person in the corps de ballet.
Q. So physical discipline is important. What else do you need to be a success as a dancer or a manager of dancers?
A. Your brain has to be active all the time. People can't believe that. You go to a reception and people ask, "What do you do during the day?" And of course during the day you'd be learning five ballets. Your brain is having to go from one to the other very quickly. You'd finish at 5:30 in the evening, and the next thing is you would go on stage and do the "Nutcracker" that you rehearsed weeks ago. And you have to go on stage and look like it's easy or like you are in love or tell a story. Your brain is being worked constantly. In this management job now, it's pretty long hours, but I've never felt as absolutely exhausted as I did as a dancer.
Q. How was it to move from being among the dancers to someone who is managing the organization?
A. Doing that is really hard. You have to walk away and then come back, because I do think it's great to have that bit of separation. When people see that you've gone out and tried to get different experiences, I think they then feel that you're more rounded and you're more able to give them advice.
Q. How do you hold together a bunch of extremely ambitious people?
A. It's a challenge. I want everybody to feel like they are worthy, and of course not everybody can be a principal dancer. It's hard to make them feel their worth in what they're doing, but of course some people measure that in titles or solos. In all the other jobs, I felt if I worked hard enough or gave it 150 percent, I'd be able to make everybody happy, but in this job there's no way I can.
And it's this realization and thinking how can I do it and not bring people down. I haven't found the answer to that yet. Of course you have to remember that just getting into the Royal Ballet is the ultimate goal for many people.
Q. When times are difficult, where do you pull your strength from?
A. I make decisions honestly and I stick with them. I'm thinking, yes it's not really working now, or people are not that keen on the decision, but I believe in it. Everyone wants to be liked, and I have it in my character a bit, but I'm trying not to make decisions because of that.
Q. How would you describe your leadership?
A. There's a saying: Look at the past, but don't stare at it. We have a history now, and a lot of this history was quite amazing. You've got to acknowledge that, but you can't hang on to that. You've got to move forward. Yes, we want wonderful dancers, and we have great stars, but it's about the performance of the company. If you have two people dancing brilliantly in the middle and then nobody else is doing anything around the sides, I don't think it works.
Q. Who do you look to now for inspiration?
A. Tony Hall, the chief executive of the Royal Opera House, is the most amazing person. He's somebody who has time for everybody, who listens to what people say, and I've never heard him raise his voice.
Q. Was it difficult to stop dancing?
A. It was definitely the right decision. I had always in my mind that I would stop at 35, but then I had an injury. There is literally no cartilage in my knees, so they drilled into my knees and created some soft tissue, and one really worked well and the other one didn't. So the nurse came and said, "Oh, I heard you're a dancer and you will stop now." I was determined to go back, but I found it very hard. While I was recovering, I spoke to the chief executive of Rambert [Dance Company] and said, "Can I just come and see what you are doing?" And that's how I got the idea to retrain as management.
Q. Do you miss being on stage?
A. I thought I would miss the performance. And I didn't miss that at all, but I miss the physicality of it.
I miss going to class, sweating, knowing your body. Going to the gym just doesn't do it for me. My mom used to say, "How lovely to go into work and you have music." And it's true. That's just such a nice thing when someone's playing the piano and you do your exercises.
