No official info yet but this is what I found on a Chinese flashlight forum, apparently they are doing a beta test and only a handful of these are sold through private channel.
Basically this light is designed just like M43, with "extreme" in mind. This thing is insanely overdriven, 4 Nichia 219C = 3000+ lumens on a single 18650
But yeah, we all know the turbo mode isn't exactly practical. That said, no one is buying a Noctigon light for months of runtime eh? we have Zebralight for that.
Length: 93.8mm
Weight: 66.8g
18500 and 18350 battery tubes available.
Update: Noctigon's owner sends me the manual for the D4. It's in Chinese so my translation might not be entirely correct. It looks like the light will have the Emisar branding instead of Noctigon but they still call it "Meteor" in Chinese forums anyway.
LED flashes twice when tail cap screwed on with unprotected battery in.
When in infinite brightness adjustment mode, LED flashes once to indicate firefly, low and turbo.
Press & hold for over half a second for firefly
A single click goes to low (110lm by default, I assume this is for the XP-G2 variant?) or memorised mode
Double click for turbo (double click goes to turbo in every circumstances, with lockout being an exception)
Press & hold to enter infinite brightness adjustment. release & hold to decrease brightness (I see TK saying this mode has a ~2 seconds memory that resets the direction but the manual I was given doesn't mention it)
Additional features (LED flashes 4 times = activated, twice = deactivated)
Voltage check: Click three times and LED flashes. Basically works the same as the Nitecore equivalent. e.g. LED flashes three times, pause then seven times means 3.7V. Press once to exit.
Temp Check: Double click two seconds after Voltage check is on. Works the same way.
Tactical mode: 4 quick clicks to activate. Press & hold for turbo. Nothing else. 4 quick clicks to deactivate.
Lockout: 6 quick clicks to activate, 6 quick clicks to deactivate. (I still suggest a physical lockout though)
Beacon: 8 quick clicks to activate. Uses memorised brightness.
When completely cooled down, 10 quick clicks & hold the 11th click performs a tempcheck. LED continues to flash for a few seconds and goes to turbo. Press & hold to increase temp regulation value, default it 45C to a max of 70C. LED flashes to indicate the temp set.
D4 can only maintain low mode when battery voltage is at 3.2V, turbo can only be turned on for a few seconds. Low voltage protection kicks in at 2.8V and D4 stops working completely.
Below are beam shot comparisons, starring the D4 and Nitecore TM36:

Do you reckon we'll see scenes of hysteria such as Oasis caused in the 90s ever again?
Just watching Noel on Football Focus and the scenes at Earls Court, Knebworth, Maine Road etc were pretty insane. Given how diverse the media coverage is now and the way in which genres have merged, you'd think it should be possible in theory, but I wonder...?
Obviously the days of people waiting in on a Friday night to catch a music video are gone forever, so we'll never see scenes of Jacko, Madonna, The Beatles etc fame again I would wager.
But I wonder if due to the lack of a high street music store in most towns, the rise of downloading, the commercialisation of music etc if we'd ever see a band playing gigs of that size again and to such worldwide clamour? Even Live Aid 2 was a bit of a whitewash.
Even with all her record sales, I doubt Adele could do it. The Arctic Monkeys got people talking but the exposure didn't follow.
Dunno... maybe an REM reformation gig in a decade's time could...?
Anyhow, what do you think. Reckon anyone could cause that level of hysteria again?
If we're talking about hysteria
No different to Brosettes, Thatters etc.
It's only because social media has made them international that we believe Bieber is a much bigger star than he is.
- untrue this'd this
Can't see it ever happening again...
If Liam Gallagher went out for a pint of milk in 1995 it made the press and tv.
Every time he and Noel fell out it made the 10 o'clock news.
We will see big bands again but not at that level of hype and exposure.
It still does
cheers NME.InsomniacBoy and bruised_blood this'd this
- CrispinAlexander, lyserge, DaddyorChips, and Cementimental this'd this
an REM gig??
judging from the as-good-as-half-full gig i saw in Manchester in 2008 and the downgrade in Cardiff the same year from a local 45,000 capacity stadium to a local 7,500 capacity hall i'm guessing.. not. i'm a huge REM fan too so i've no beef with em.
The only reason I say them
Is down to how many plaudits they got post-break and all the people who said they'd wish they'd seen them. But yeah, I doubt even they could command such a big crowd.
It would probably take a whole new scene or band with something to say to whip this country into a frenzy. This government is at least giving the next generation plenty of things to react against?
It's a strange thought isn't it.
I know that you can't predict this kind of thing, but it definitely feels like there's no way it could ever happen again - ie, grunge, rave, The Smiths, that kind of hysteria.
part of me thinks no, there is so much music now, fans have fragmented no one band can have as broad appeal again
but then I think there will always be crazes that seem to inexplicably come out of nowhere, not just in terms of music but popular culture in general, maybe it will be a bands turn again some day
Hysteria with the Smiths??
Eh? That's a bit of revisionist history right there. They were a reasonably popular band with a cult fanbase. Got into the top 10 a couple of times. At their height they were selling out university sized venues. There was no "hysteria". Totally incomparable to Oasis etc which is what this thread is about.
And OF COURSE it'll happen again, jesus christ. If you're saying that it definitely couldn't happen, then surely popular culture itself would be a black hole, totally devoid of ANYTHING AT ALL. Things can always seep through into popular culture- film, music, television shows have just as much of a chance as ever of becoming part of popular culture, and by default hugely successful, because really it's only the technology-aware and more dedicated fans who find out about everything through the internet and via very specific channels.
Most people don't use specific media channels tailored to their owns tastes. They find out about music, film etc via mass media- the main TV channels, the BBC radio and news, newspapers. Yeah, maybe the more switched on music fans will never be going crazy about massively popular bands in the same way, but then I don't really believe that "real music fans" were EVER doing that in the first place.
Even with Arctic Monkeys- the last band to have this universal success (which the band, thankfully not wanting to be some new Oasis, pretty much rejected)- the people who were talking about them/going mental when I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor hit number one weren't big music fans, as most music fans had been familiar with Arctic Monkeys for at least a year. The people going crazy were all just average people, the sort of people with few specific interests, who just go along with whatever is happening at any given moment. As long as those sort of people still exist (which they always will), there will ALWAYS be a chance for a band to find the sort of massive success that Oasis found in 1994.
Not that it will make any difference to me, as any band likely to find that sort of success will not be the sort of band I want to listen to. But it's depressingly naive to say so surely that it will never happen again.
From what I've read I think there *was* a real hysteria around The Smiths
but it was more contained within a certain demographic, ie they didn't necessarily cross over to the population at large in the way Oasis/Arctic Monkeys etc did. Compared to the big guns of grunge/Britpop et al they didn't sell so many records - though a lot of that was to do with not being on a major label - but they were more popular than New Order, pre-Disintegration Cure, Echo and the Bunnymen etc, which pretty much makes them the biggest British indie band of the '80s.
I was a massive Smiths fan - they were 'my band' when I was 14-18
But there was definitely none of the 'hysteria' of the type mentioned in the OP around them.
They were definitely a cult band, well reviewed in the NME etc, big on evening radio but pretty much ignored by the mainstream media until pretty late in their career (around the time of Panic). They used to appear on Top of the Pops but most people who weren't fans considered them a weird curiosity or actively despised them.
Their fans loved them with a passion and followed their every move, but they weren't on the front page of the national newspapers or on the 9 o'clock news.
If Morrissey had been killed by a ten ton truck in 1985 it would barely have registered in the mainstream media or culture.
yeah, I suppose so
obviously you were there and I wasn't!
But I just mean I think compared to their peers I get the impression there was a certain amount of hysteria behind the Smiths, even if it was just the cult thing. I mean maybe their records just came out in very slow weeks, but I always got the impression that their exceptionally high album chart places were to do with about 50-100,000 or so earnest youths going and buying the things in their first week of release, which is hysteria of sorts - certainly people weren't doing the same for their peers (I'm not some sort of die hard Smiths nut, it's just that I just read a book about the time, though I'm certainly not saying the book is right and you are wrong!).
why do people pine for this fake sense of togetherness?
all the things that matter about music are still alive, whether jake crabblebottom from indie pickle collective is on the front cover of time means completely nothing.
yeah, I agree with this
though sometimes I do wish that "the masses" were more interested in music in general, just for things like more music on TV- the mid 90s had some amazing music tv programming, obviously a lot of the bands on the shows were crap, but at least we had some gems (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9nS58dWpf4 and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YX4aj1JYNwc and to be honest, loads more) and I much rather would have had those great performances than not. But things like music TV shows are only really viable of lots of people are interested in music, which one of the only reasons I'd like a huge breakthrough band to appear.
the last 10 years saw an incredible increase in quality music performances
la blogotheque for example, great intimate stuff. if somebody with a blog wants to get an indie band to record a session for them, all that person needs is a $1000* camera and an email account. i think that's pretty cool, and in the spirit of independent music.
*i realise that's still a lot of money but it's accessible for many
I do know what you mean, but I don't think it's really the same
a medium sized touring band aren't gonna do that, it's not really worth spending their time/taking an evening off from touring just to play a session for one guy who has a youtube channel. Stuff like Pitchfork TV is an exception I guess, but bands are hardly reaching a wider audience, which is what television is so good at. I do think things like that are brilliant, but sadly not comparable to TV. It's like trying to compare an MP3 blog and Radio 1.
you'd be surprised how far mentioning that you have a music blog will get you these days
i'm not saying you'll land the shins or something right away, but there's loads of blogs that get sessions and interviews with the kind of bands DiS might discuss regularly.
i know what you're saying, that TV offers a massive burst of coverage, which in theory is a nice idea but on the rare occasion a good band does get some exposure on television it's the kind of band that most people already know, because television is a few steps (at least) behind the internet and the average person (not just indie types) use the internet too. everybody knew who vampire weekend were before they got on jools holland, but maybe it wouldn't have been like that 10 years prior.
As a long time indie elitist
I crave exactly the opposite.
I sense of intense identification with the band and a small group of similarly obsessed fans + the incomprehension or active antipathy of the masses.
I know I'm sounding a bit of a old fuddy duddy here (at 31 years old)
but if you weren't around (or at least at an appreciative age) between 1995-1997 it is hard to grasp how big and what a phenomenon Oasis were. And I mean outwith the music press.
People above have mentioned heavily hyped and "big" artists like the Arctic Monkeys etc but they had KNOWWHERE near like the whirlwind media coverage Oasis had for a few years.
If Liam pissed and missed the pan it would be headline news in every paper for a week. My great granny could tell you the name of the lead singer and guitarist in Oasis and where they were from.
The media exposure they received outwith the music press seems unlikely to be repeated by anything anytime soon. It can always happen but it doesn't appear on the horizon at present.calumlynn, colonelbingobongo, and Und_Gorgeous_Cars this'd this
the classic was Liam getting a skinhead
I think it made all the tabloid front pages. I think the key thing is that they were the celebrities du jour as much as anything else, it was a sort of fortuitous meeting of blockbuster sales and tabloid friendliness that's not quite been matched since (though reckon Winehouse might have if she'd cleaned up and made a killer third album).
we just can't be amazed
hysteria like that is a relic of a different age, when it comes to music, at least.
before you even factor in the atomisation of culture, you have the convenience of culture. it's totally disposable now, at least in the realms of surface level culture. people have all but abandoned the pretense of sincerity. the kind of raw, unbridled excitement that Oasis caused was a flood that the media merely channeled.
the way bands break is so tightly regimented that only the sterile kind of hype like that engendered by, IDK, a youth-orientated marketing exercise seeded through social networks, is ever likely to 'break out'.
I mean, word of mouth is just a canny extension of commercial concerns, reposting content generated by folks with vested interests.
I think most excitement these days is shallow and subliminally puppeteered.
to an extent far greater than at any other time.
it's not the same as when rags could whip up a storm
because everyone thinks they're a beacon of taste and influence.
egoism's rife. it's a less innocent time, albeit just as naive.
people abandoning sincerity
to clarify...I'm talking about the shameless pandering going on in the mainstream. as in, fuck songcraft or new sounds, all that matters is making something that isn't going to lose money.
and this is an insidious trait. I guess bands have always been prone to 'selling out' at some point, but jesus, bands cone across these days like their very inception was the fulfillment of a marketing brief.
that is COMPLETE bollocks
It reads a bit like you're drunk though, and it is a saturday night, so probably not really your fault
it's all true! to some degree, at least.
tell me why you think it's bollocks.
I see where you're coming from, albeit that you're probably overdoing the cynicism a tad
There's plenty of bands with noble enough aims - but often their ability to knock out catchy tunes and their lack of imagination has been harnessed by an increasingly desperate industry.
Then there are the bands who achieve a measure of success because they play music that is new, fascinating and boldly-realised. They are few and far between. The Fall is one of the best examples.
Of course, there's a mainstream pop machine, absolutely beneath my contempt in most aspects of its being, but occasionally given to turning out minor gems - whose appeal is then amplified into legend by a ghoulish and entirely perspective-less idolisation of the pop discourse. This is how a relatively talentless hack like Lana Del Rey can be feted as one of the great songwriters of our time - our time is firstly broken down into convenient half-year chunks, then one half-decent song is placed up against the dismal pop and soft-rock offerings at the top of the charts and deemed godlike in comparison.
This, then, is the atomisation of culture, and on its flipside it means that to find the really good stuff you have to search pretty goddamn hard - much, much harder than during the 90s (where, if you were sick of Oasis, you didn't have to look much further to find, say, Mansun atop the charts instead). But it's out there.TheWza this'd this
James Blake then, idk
Also, you're approaching this from a very particular mindset. There are huge swathes of people claiming her to be The One - read her Youtube comments for a start
If you want sober, informed opinion on Lana Del Rey
just read Cronin's recent posts. He definitely thinks she is one of the great songwriters of our time.
the way hype used to be
seemed like a natural extension of some initial spark of genuine excitement.
hype now seens like a charicature of its former self. if I might deploy a football analogy, here, please consider: in the 1999 Champions League final, Clive Tyldesly's unfakeable exhiliration as he screamed the commentary for each United goal. the joy in his voice as he reeled out the 'promised land' spiel. now, consider how forced it seems, Tyldesly being Tyldesly for Tyldesly's sake.
so many journos write not so much in flurries of arch and passionate declaimation, driven by love of the music and the medium of music writing as to serve their own careers, to fulfill their own hack dreams or to merely play their part in the expected hoopla.
and of course, Joe Blogs [self-laugh] has to stick his or her oar in, clinging to the coattails of the flavour of the moment.
I know you still have interpersonal omg, listen to this-type relaying of excitement, but this also seems some way from the old methods. but playing something to someone in person and sending someone a link hardly compare.
it all seems so removed from the flesh and blood physicality of old.
yeah The Smiths were way smaller
than folk imagine. they were playing Brixton Academy on the last tour. i mean.. every fucker plays there these days.
I'm sure that someone on here said that
you have to be at Brixton Academy level before you even start making a profit on touring, these days!
There wasn't the setup to allow them to go much further, though
Smiths fandom was entirely driven by music press and word of mouth. Daytime radio shied away from them. Their TOTP appearances are entirely alien to everything around them. Those circumstances are hard to envisage in the alternative music sphere of the last near-two decades, since Radio 1's policy changed and the broadsheets caught on to what was happening with Suede and Parklife.
To go back to the original post
Oasis mania was as much about time and place as anything. The popular press and Radio 1 were only just catching up with guitar bands as a loose grouping. The way things are now - the unquestioned excitement about the Stone Roses gigs, the gossip columns being uninterested (Oasis becoming so widely famous was as much about Bizarre going "Noel and Liam fight! ROCK AND ROLL!"), the way the internet has changed things conclusively, the critical condition if not absolute death of alternative music in the singles chart* - the feeling is it's been done and nothing can break out in that way again.
This is why I dislike people going "I can't wait for a new punk/rave/Britpop!!!!", because the wider music press is so attuned to the blogs now that anything rising up is going to be co-opted at near birth. Q have given full page pieces in recent months to The Weeknd and at least one OFWGKTA offshoot. That would never have happened five years ago. Dubstep now means something entirely different to what it did five years ago, so much so that... well, let's just quote from Simon Price in the Indy. "James Blake's debut album was mystifyingly mislabelled as "dubstep", but the 22-year-old Londoner was actually an electronic singer-songwriter whose superb self-titled debut had more in common with (some singer-songwriters) than with Nero or Magnetic Man." Actually, Simon, dubstep has more in common with James Blake than Nero, but you carry on there.
(* This change never seems to be discussed, but Ride used to have top 20 singles with no mainstream support, and now Kasabian's first single from their last album peaked at 28)
lol I said James Blake up there
before reading this
Duran Duran, U2 and so on.
I bought tix from a scalper for $2. The Smiths were pretty great, mind. And the Hollywood Palladium was packed. But definitely a mid level band.
People seem to forget that the whole
'everything has fragmented' thing only applies to people with specialist interests. Mass popular culture hasn't really fragmented at all, perhaps it's grown a bit smaller but not by much. Therefore, of course it's still possible for another band to become absolutely massive.Royter-Hatfood this'd this
it's not just a specialist phenomena
it's difficult to imagine any band transcending the whole bubble thing. youtube videos/virals/memes, these are the things that tend to cross boundaries. shallow things.
Oasis and their like became hugely important parts of people's lives. there are still so many that still hold them deep in their heart, who probably hope they'll get back together and play Knebworth again.
I don't see a band commanding that depth of affection on such a large scale any time on the near future. a band isn't such a rare and special thing any more. it's not so much that people don't value music anymore, but convenience and abundance have fundamentally shifted the position of music in life.
individual songs are a bigger deal on the whole than records. records are still prominent, but they're also convenience items. bands are ten a penny, and only likely to inspire small-scale devotion. people with the time, money and enthusiasm still follow bands around the country, but these are the loyal minorities.
it's sad, but it's the way life on the whole seems to be heading. constant stimulation, convenience, the way computer/phone-centric life flattens things, breaks everything down to the level of being wired up and clicking on a button to stimulate the pleasure centre of your brain.
ahem. getting a bit Infinite Jest, there, but it's not such a crazy thought. I know that life regains its depth when I focus one thing, look away from the screen.
yeah. things done changed.
but Oasis, and the reasons people liked them
were JUST as shallow as internet memes and viral videos.
not really
virals and memes are just glorified distractions. Oasis were/still are a big deal to a lot of people.
you don't/won't hear people eulogising about youtube videos that are only worth a damn until the next one, seconds later. this stuff is nothing more than whatever is currently foaming on top of the internet's relentless churn. Oasis-type hysteria is a prolonged moment, with slow residual decay.
Angry Birds are/were the new Oasis.
Clearly not, (not quite), but iPhone/iPad/twitter seem to get lazily mentioned in every other paragraph of 'news' reporting (print and TV), now more than ever. Every mum and middle aged manager has an iPhone now, and yet the headlines and pointless references in non tech articles keep on coming.
This isn't really an answer to the OP, but it feels like it's in keeping with the upthread comments about cynicism ("I've got fuck all to write about! Oh well, I'll just mention an iPhone app and it'll feel current and relevant"). And on that note, I reckon it's worth mentioning Popworld. Where the genuine puppy dog enthusiasm of Top of the Pops seems to have died out with that show (consider also: The White Room, if you want an 'indie' angle), the dry cynicism of shows like Popworld has lived on beyond the life of that particular show and has become the norm.
I remember the (traditional) media (i.e. The Guardian & co.) trying their hardest to pretend that Lady Gaga's video for Telephone was a crucial and pivotal moment in modern popular culture. But, in truth, their words were tired and 'they' genuinely seem to be be happier and more enthusiastic when they're talking about the latest iPad bullshit.
Apps aren't killing music. But the mainstream media influence that's necessary for 'the next Oasis hysteria' just isn't there. It doesn't care enough /about music/ to make it happen.
Did Popworld kill enthusiasm? Was Simon Amstell bigger/more relevant than Jesus/Liam Gallagher? Is Alexa Chung more influential than Steve Jobs? Is Pitchfork less influential than even the shit on T4's shoes? The answer to all of those questions is neither yes nor no, but #meh.incandenza_ and ohgood this'd this
Not really sure.
But I /think/ it means that Kasabian are the new Islam.
Perhaps it will take music to become extremely bland and homogenised
For the next Beatles, or at least Nirvana, to break through. Not necessarily a guitar band though.
If anything's gonna be breaking through in the next couple of years
I reckon 'the new Prodigy'* is probably the best bet.
*(Pendulum didn't count. They were the new Mike Flowers Pops).
genuine puppy dog enthusiasm
this is crucial.
everyone's too knowing nowadays (and at the same time, not knowing enough). too concerned with keeping up with the stream. and out-and-out earnestness is a social faux pas.ohgood this'd this
Maybe that saturation could still happen
It requires someone being media-savvy and sensational enough that they dominate social media in a similar way to how Oasis dominated traditional media in the 90s.
With artists becoming increasingly competent in exploiting alternative media, I can see this happening somewhere down the line. Think how Odd Future created such an incredible hype, that now they are one of the biggest cult names on the indie scene, and have had two top 5 albums in the US without any successful singles, radio or TV coverage. If an artist with far greater cross-over potential, and which had some sort of perceived cultural significance, was to break through then you wouldn't be able to escape the hype.
The idea of being able to maintain that level for the best part of a decade, Oasis style, might be stretching the imagination a little far though in the current climate.
With all due respect Lady Gaga definitely hasn't had anywhere near the hysteria Oasis did
She appears in the press for wearing silly clothes but so do many so called "celebs".
Mediamodia I think you are too young to have sampled it at the the time. Like I said above unless you were probably at least 14 or so in 1995 you can't appreciate the hype Oasis had.
The press genuinely had them down as the next Beatles for a year or two. The release of Be Here Now was a headline story in every tv/radio news bulletin... the news doesn't talk about Lady Gaga albums coming out on Monday morning and having reporters pitched outside HMV.
The Oasis hysteria was linked in with the so called "return" of British culture... Tony Blair, New Labour, Britpop etc.
Everything alligned at once making Oasis the posters boys for a a "new" British generation. As silly as it sounds to anyone who is under 30 now.TheWza this'd this
2.6m people applied for Oasis Knebworth tickets
Gaga can't fill the O2.
And Rihanna filled out the O2 10 times, no problems
Not saying she's as big as Oasis, but still.
- WhiteLightWhiteCity this'd this
She's better?...
You mean her songwriting team are better.
She is better looking than Oasis I'll give her that.
no, rihanna herself is better
and oasis barely wrote their own songs anyway
oasis barely wrote their own songs anyway
Ah... right ok.
Don't make yourself look silly mate... I assume you are older than 10.
Let's get this clear
There has been NO band/act since Oasis that have had the level of hysteria that they generated at the time. Not Arctic Monkeys, not Coldplay and not Lady Gaga.
Some of these artists may now sell more and be bigger, but haven't faced the condensed hype and over exposure that Oasis did for a few years.
It is a important point that when Oasis were at their peak the internet was in it's infancy (in terms of being in people homes) and therefore it was traditional media forms (tv/radio/written press) that set the agenda.
This may not be as easy now in the world of the internet.
"The Creation Records story is... it's about the death of the independent."
...is what Bobby Gillespie said in 'Upside Down' - The Creation Records Story
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quC36o_9ZLo (good film, btw).
'The independent' is not dead, of course. Quite the opposite. It's more alive than ever. But we've probably seen the death of the ability of the independent to do what Oasis did on Creation.
Arctic Monkeys and Lily Allen getting myspace famous was a nice little non-story during a time of transition. But no-one has yet managed Oasis level hype (or even got close) by using social media as 'an independent' (although I guess even then, Sony was always there in the background at Creation). Bieber and Gaga and Rihanna have teams of lackeys to do the work for them on [t] & [f] & iTunes™.
More interesting (although clearly not on the 'hysteria' level) is when Belle & Sebastian bagged Best Newcomer at the Brits instead of Steps or 5ive because of that there new-fangled email technology. And then they hosted their own festival, giving rise to ATP.
So I reckon the much more interesting story is at the B&S/ATP, Division 1 or 2 level: what does independent mean in 2012? And can it/should it/will it ever bother making any kind of an attempt to puncture the mainstream from time to time? But that's another thread.
or "Wacky Rational Destructive Leader"
"This makes you an enemy of the state. You are charismatic and winning and a very dangerous enemy. You favor justice over compassion, and would almost rather see your opponent fail than you succeed."
"You impact the lives of those around you more than any other personality. People remember your name and respect you. You are a tremendous amount of fun to be around and astonishing to watch. You are generally abstinent in your habits, and you like things tidy and ordered."
"When picking teams, it is smartest for others to pick yours."
- JohnM this'd this
It probably will happen at some point
Oasis obviously did contribute to their own success, but that '95-'97 era frenzy was a wider cultural thing that they were kind of just the frontmen for, the sort of culmination of Cool Britannia, Loaded, New Labour, grunge backlash, etc etc.
It needs to be an act that's reasonably cool and of positive interest to a cross spectrum tabloid audience: Adele's just not blokey enough to work, plus she wasn't really as famous as a 'character' before 21; I imagine Coldplay would have done it if only they were blokier (I mean X&Y shifted a fuckload of copies in its first week, it's just not the type of thing people got hysterical about); Amy Winehouse might have done if she'd made a great third album.
yeah, though...
I think there was a point in 2005 (or whenever it was) that the tabloids - and everyone else for that matter, didn't Gordon Brown namecheck them? - were so eager to buy into the Monkeys to extent it might have happened if they'd played the game a bit more, which obviously they didn't.
I imagine the exact process that Oasis (and a lot of other bands went through)
simply can't exist any more (at least without a superhuman level of organisation/planning).
I assume what happened with Oasis was:
1) built up strong following in Manchester
2) went on several small tours - established small following in several cities/towns around the country
3) began to get attention from not-quite-mainstream parts of the media
4) did larger tour
5) got more media attention
etc. etc.
now, at every step of this process, each layer of progress was shielded from the wider public by a lack of communication. A few people would've told friends but nothing significant. The increase in popularity was quantised. By the time they released a top ten single there were two important sections of the public in place: a group of people that had known the band before they were widely known, and felt like the band was 'theirs'; and everybody else, unaware of the band until now, who could be innocently carried along by the hype.
Nowadays, once Oasis had reached somewhere around step 3 or 4 above, they would've suddenly spread across certain blogs and websites, a lot of people would make their minds up quite quickly about them, they would have a surge of hope that would either die quite quickly or sustain for a while, a lot of people would hear their name and make a snap decision, current fans would lose some sense of their 'ownership' through this hype but not many people would be swept along by it. At best the band would be able to carry enough people to continue to the next step, but the conditions for sudden country-wide impact would no longer exist.
I dunno.
(This is all just idle rambling, feel free to pick it apart.)
Yeah, it's balls
It can't happen in exactly the same way, just as Oasis-mania wasn't identical to Beatle-mania.
Lets be honest though... these are two fairly isolated incidents. In the meantime you had some of the biggest bands of all time e.g. U2 and Queen, who failed to create the same sense of mass hysteria.
I don't think that society has become so fractured & individualised, that we can dismiss this kind of hysteria EVER HAPPENING AGAIN. Someone will, eventually, make some music that is deemed by the public to be culturally significant - then all you need is the popularity of an Adele, and the headlining grabbing antics of a Mario Balotelli and what do you know, you're a fucking big deal.
I think the measure of mass exposure is when people who don't care about music start giving a shit.
In the Oasis days, my dad, who has probably only bought half a dozen CDs in his life, could tell you who Noel and Liam were and tut over their drugs scandals in the paper, as well as sing along to Wonderwall. Nothing has come close since.
The only sort of rival I can think of would be something collective - the X Factor. Acres of tabloid coverage, millions of records sold, my dad can tell you about them. That's where the hysteria is these days.
yesterday, one of my uncles asked me about Adele
he's the kind of person who only cares about going on holiday and not being hassled.
I think there has to be something more to the band, a greater cultural movement that they embody.
The Beatles: the beat movement, the continuing rise of the teenager.
The Sex Pistols: ...punk.
Oasis: Britpop, 90s lad/ladette culture.
^ exactly
And when it does, the older generation will criticise it as not being as good as whoever was big when they were young, and so the whole tedious cycle goes on.
no man you just don't understand, even your gran knew when liam gallagher went for a pint of milk
it was truly the golden age of music
- DaddyorChips, Teepee_uk, and Antelope this'd this
we had the Spice Girls shortly after Oasis' peak didn't we?
(I don't think that musical quality is the basis of this thread is it?)
all over the papers and news, huge sales and tours, a movie.. pretty hysterical
The Oasis hysteria was insane (Liam getting a haircut once made it on to the cover of all the tabloids) but Spice Girls hysteria probably eclipsed it. I recall my sister coming home from a year's travelling and wondering why they were EVERYWHERE as much as they were in 1997.
also, I don't recall Oasis being sent to meet Nelson Mandela
the mind boggles
but the Spice Girls were actually good
which is the key difference really

Although cybersecurity is relatively an old term, in recent years it has amassed massive attention due to IT awareness. But what really is cybersecurity? In simple terms, cyber security which is also known as information technology security deals in protecting the data, networks, and information from unauthorized access. If data is exposed to an unauthorized person, it can have serious repercussions such as leakage, stealing, destruction or change of data or information.
Security of the data is made sure by undertaking routine checks and performing activities in order to minimize the risk and threats of cyber-attacks. Cybersecurity professionals from http://www.scarlettculture.com/ are always looking for vulnerabilities in networks which can be exploited by the hackers. So in short, cybersecurity incorporates all the techniques and processes which are used to protect data which is connected to internet from illegal access.
Since the internet has become an integral part of our daily lives and it has become a major source of information and communication the importance of cybersecurity with it has also increased. Most of our private information is up on the internet and if there without any protecting hackers can easily steal our information.
Growing cyber threats such as theft of data, internet related scams, phishing scams and other type of cyber-related vulnerabilities now require individuals and corporations to remain vigilant about protection of their sensitive data and information due to which we make sure that our computers and phones are secure from being hacked and free of malicious software, which can lead to hacking. Large corporations like banks have a dedicated cybersecurity departments which make sure that banks are impenetrable to cyber-attacks because hackers can steal the credit card information, customer records and other types of sensitive data. In addition to that governments also have cybersecurity divisions which make sure that information and networks are safe and secure.
There is a dire need to make the masses aware of the importance of cybersecurity and dangers of not caring about it. In recent years there have been countless cyber-attacks which have led to severe damages and have cost billions of dollars to governments and corporations. In the year 2017, many notorious cyber-attacks took place all across the world leading to information theft and another leakage of sensitive data. For example, an attack by the name of WannaCry gained considerable media coverage. WannaCry was a ransomware which spread around the whole world targeting large corporations and government departments. It was chaotic and led to major breakdown for many institutions on the national scale. Likewise, another attack which also got huge attention was conducted by a group known as Shadow Brokers which breached through a spy operation which was being conducted by NSA, thus exploiting the agenda of operation. Shadow Brokers have conducted multiple attacks on NSA which have resulted in leakage of information. On the individual level, we are always at risk of a cyber threat, and there can be anyone who is spying on us by breaching into our computers. There are reports of millions of attacks which happen in social media in which the private information of people is exposed on major social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter.
We can secure our information by being more vigilant and get more knowledge as much as we can, in order to protect our information. Individuals, as well as corporations which are not serious about cybersecurity, often get attacked which can lead to serious consequences. The dangers of not caring about cybersecurity are very grave and should not be ignored at all costs.

|Tai Ping Hou Kui green tea dry leaves.
This is an extraordinary looking green tea from China -- big, long leaves pressed flat and having the imprint of either paper or cotton on its leaves. The dried leaves are whole and 2" and 3" in length -- unusally large for tea. Another unusual aspect of this tea is that it's both pan fired and basket-fired. Besides its toasty flavour, the leaves' crispy flatness hints that it's pan-fired -- pressed into a wok-like hot pan. But The Story of Tea explains further that after the pan-firing, the leaves are scattered on a sheet of rice paper, then another sheet is laid on top and the leaves are blotted to remove moisture without removing their aromatics. This is what's responsible for the distinctive cross-hatched pattern on the dried leaves and, of course, ultimately why the tea is flat. After this the tea is finished by basket firing.
|Tai Ping Hou Kui. You can still see the distinctive rice-
paper imprint on the wet leaves. (Click to enlarge.)
This tea is from Tao's tea house, and the package says its origin is Hou Keng Village in AnHui province (China). It's considered by some to be one of the "Ten Famous Teas" -- although there is no definitive list of which ten they are*.
"Tai Ping" is a region in the south of the Huang Shan mountains in Anhui province, and "hou kui", according to Babelcarp, means "monkey king." Some legends say that, due to the area's steep slopes, the locals trained monkeys to pick the tea, but I find that abit of stretch. According to other googled sites the word "Hou refers to Hou Keng Village where the highest grade of this tea is made and the word Kui refers to a tea-grower Wang Kui-cheng who made this tea by improving the processing of a local green tea Jian Cha around 1900." The Tea Drinker's Handbook notes that "according to another legend, it is the Taiping Rebellion of the 1850s, a tragic epidsode in Chinese history that ends in a bloody repression, which is linked with its name," and further notes that a "special feature of Tai Ping Hou Kui is revealed during the infusion when the veins of the leaves turn bright red -- some claim in tribute to the blood spilled by the rebels during the revolt."
I like to imagine that both might be true. For usually there are many 'true' histories of a thing. We come to blend and bend certain stories and events to reflect various people's emotional memory of the time as much as the 'facts' of a time.
I did two steepings. Both in about 5 ozs of 75C to 80C water for two minutes but the first one had 6 or 7 leaves, which is what I thought I remembered Tao suggesting, and the second had the standard 2.5 grams of leaves.
|Tai Ping Hou Kui wet leaves from the 2nd steep -- large,
mid-green leaves, showing, particularly on the left sample,
a pluck of a tiny bud, a new young leaf and two other leaves.
The dry leaves have a surprisingly strong sweet and fresh aroma. Almost floral.
On the first brew the wet leaves give light aroma of beans and a sweet vegetal scent, along with a light toasty scent of buttery popcorn. The latter is the smell of the firing and identifies it as a fired not steamed green tea. I don't see a red leaf vein though.
The liquor is a very pale, elegant blue-green with a light round buttery mouth feel.
Overall I find this too watery and delicate for my taste-buds -- basically under-brewed, so decide to do a second one with the standard 2.5 grams of tea leaves to 5 oz of water.
This brings forward the toasty buttery aromas of the leaves and flavour to the tongue, along with the usual green-tea vegetal notes and a rich hint of toasted pecans. This heavier, standard brew also brings a nice light briskness and a bit of sharp bitterness which is actually a nice balance to the quite full round, satiny (oily) mouth feel. I could perhaps do with one notch lower on the bitterness but it brings a refreshing quality too, and the rest of the cup goes down with no problem.
This tea is so nice I'm trying it again the next morning -- 2.5 grams in 5 oz water at 80C. This time I don't let it slip over the two-minute steep at all, which takes the slight bitterness down a note. (It's amazing how little it takes to tip a tea over to bitterness.) The cup is wonderfully round and buttery with light toasty notes followed by the vegetal and the nutty pecan. A second brew (at two minutes) is less round on the mouth, with abit less of the pecan and almost a mint-tea feel on the tongue as the last sip goes down. A third brew (in cooler water since the water in my thermos has cooled to 65C) done at 3 minutes gives me another lovely cup of tea -- it doesn't seem to have diminished on the mouth feel by much, a little lighter on the flavour profiles and, surprisingly, the sweet floral note is more dominant.
As I sit here sewing cosies this afternoon this tea just keeps on giving. It deserves its moniker as one of the Ten Famous Teas -- rich-tasting and distinctive.
* Before the fall of the Imperial Court in China the Famous Teas were called Imperial Tribute Teas and were apparently for the exclusive pleasure of the emperor.

The world made a lot more sense to me before Jayson Werth ended his brief status as a free agent by signing a seven-year, $126 million contract with the Washington Nationals.
Werth was one of the most sought-after players on the market, but this deal made a pathetic splash in a pool drained by years of sucking. The former Phillies right fielder allowed one World Series ring on his finger to pay lip service to his conscience before he finalized the humongous payday.
Maybe the Boston Red Sox could've given Werth a similar contract, and they probably would have before the Nationals jumped the gun, but they made the right move grabbing Adrian Gonzalez first. Gonazalez is three years younger and is a more proven commodity.
I'm not going to pretend that any other person in Werth's position would turn down the exact contract he and agent Scott Boras were looking for, but he can't expect his experience on the field to be as enjoyable either. A doubling in salary will prove a substantial price to pay.
In a division as competitive as the NL East, the Nationals are easily still a few years away from finishing better than fourth place. Werth will impress his teammates with his enviable blend of power and speed, but the response to his big blasts out of the yard won't stir the same frenzy in the half-empty Nationals Park.
Werth will also deal getting beaten by his former team 10-15 times out of the year, and given the fairly short distance between Philadelphia and D.C., he'll hear plenty of boos when the Phillies are the visiting team.
Werth isn't a savior that the Nationals are banking on. He's presently on the slow rehabilitation from Tommy John surgery. Werth may sell a few tickets before Stephen Strasburg's return, but in a baseball sense, everyone's getting screwed from this deal. The Phillies lost a key right-handed bat in the middle of their lineup, the Nationals are losing money that could've been better spent on the pitching they desperately need, and Werth is losing those special extra games in October he's grown so accustomed to playing over the last four years.

In the
Director Mary Zimmerman | Season Preview
He's charming and charismatic—no wonder con man Harold Hill assumes he can easily fleece the citizens of staid River City, Iowa with the grand promise of a marching band. But the smooth-talking swindler can't tell a trombone from a treble clef—and Marian, the local librarian, knows it. In his attempt to steal her heart (and save his hide), Harold learns a thing or two about moral responsibility—and unexpectedly enriches the town with a love of music. Mary Zimmerman (The Jungle Book, Wonderful Town) brings her magic touch to "one of the sunniest musicals ever" (The New York Times), including memorable favorites "Goodnight My Someone," "Seventy-Six Trombones," "Gary, Indiana" and "Till There Was You."

Trump backs Marsha Blackburn in Tennessee GOP US Senate bid
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has endorsed Marsha Blackburn in the Republican primary for a U.S. Senate seat from Tennessee.
Trump tweeted Thursday that the sitting congresswoman is a "wonderful woman who has always been there when we have needed her." Trump added that she's great on his key issues of the military, border security and crime and works hard for the people of Tennessee.
Trump said, "I will be there to campaign with her!" He did not announce any dates.
Blackburn initially faced a challenge from former Republican U.S. Rep. Stephen Fincher in the August GOP primary, but he left the race earlier this year. Blackburn currently faces token GOP opposition. The seat became open when incumbent Sen. Bob Corker, a Trump critic, announced his retirement.
Corker tweeted earlier this month that he is donating money to Blackburn's campaign. She has represented Tennessee's 7th Congressional District in the House since 2002. The district includes 19 counties in the western and middle parts of the state.
The other senator from Tennessee, Republican Lamar Alexander, also has endorsed Blackburn.
Seven Senate candidates and one gubernatorial candidate have been removed from the August primary ballot for lacking voting credentials to justify running as Republicans.
Former Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen is the Democratic candidate.
Republicans hold a slim 51-49 advantage in the U.S. Senate.
This story has been corrected to reflect that Fincher has dropped out of the Senate race in Tennessee.

How To Quit Smoking – Your Guide To Kick The Habit
So what can you do? If you are thinking about quitting, you need to be educated on the certain steps that must be taken before, during, and after you make the initial decision to quit smoking. Being informed of the benefits of quitting as well as the several methods of helping you to quit will surely help you through your struggle. It is important to note that quitting is not an easy task, and smokers must have the proper motivation to endure nicotine cravings for overall success.
Making the Decision
A lot of smokers at one point in their lives have said the words, "I'm going to quit", only to succumb to nicotine cravings hours, days, or even weeks after. This is why a serious decision to quit is necessary before the onset of quitting occurs. If you are indeed serious about quitting, you need to set a date and stick to it. Don't think that a cigarette one in awhile is OK. Quitting means quitting, for good. Decide a certain day when you want to be completely cigarette free, and tell everyone you know about your decision so they may help you through your struggle.
Motivating Yourself to Quit
Motivation is key. Whether you are trying to lose weight, stay on a steady diet, and especially in the case of quitting cigarettes, motivation is an essential part of success. Motivation will help you reach your goal and keep you energized, even when the intense cravings seem like they are dragging you down.
• Smell: It is no secret that cigarette smoke leaves an unpleasant smell on the smoker. Thinking about no longer having to cover up the bad smell with perfume or mints may keep you motivated throughout your struggle. Think of how nicely you will smell, and how you won't have to spend hours doing laundry or trying to cover up the smell before entering work, a social situation, or other event where smoking cigarettes is deemed unpleasant.
• More Dates: A majority of people who do not smoke, don't want to date someone to smokes. If you no longer smoke and don't have a smokey aura around you, you might have a better shot picking up a date with that special someone you've been eyeing.
• More Money in Your Pockets: Cigarettes are extremely expensive, especially if you are smoking a pack or more a day. A majority of cigarettes are priced at around 5 dollars, which means you could be spending up to 150 dollars or more per month on a nasty habit. Once you quit, you will have an extra amount of money in your pocket that you can use on something that will actually benefit you and your health, such as a gym membership.
• Better Lung Function: Smokers tend to have a much more difficult time performing regular physical activity. They may begin to feel out of breath and exhausted only moments after the activity begins. Knowing that you will be able to breathe easier and engage in sports and other physical activities unlike before may motivate you intensely.
• Physical Attractiveness: A known side effect of smoking cigarettes is bad hair, crinkly skin, and stained teeth. To save yourself from these horrible physical side effects and return to a state of overall attractiveness, you need to quit smoking. Thinking about how great you will look and feel after quitting is a sure way to keep you motivated to quit.
• Smoking is Dangerous: It is a known fact that smoking cigarettes causes health problems throughout the entire body, from the brain to the heart, lungs, and more. Cigarettes have a tendency to increase the risk of stroke, heart attack, lung cancer, and other certain cancers in the body. Reminding yourself of the incredibly horrible and deadly side effects from smoking is a great way to motivate yourself through cravings.
• Getting Your Life Back: A lot of smokers work their entire schedules around smoking. They have to have a smoke at certain points throughout the day, and if they miss a scheduled cigarette the results are almost unbearable. Getting back to a life full of enjoyment free of cigarettes is a great motivating technique.
Combating Unpleasant Feelings Involved in Quitting
Motivation is only one of the key elements of successful cigarette habit breaking. Being able to combat unpleasant feelings involved with withdrawal symptoms and cravings is the other half of the battle. As cigarette addiction is one of the most prominent habits and one of the toughest habits to break due in part to the fact that nicotine is the main component found in tobacco, overcoming the need for nicotine is a challenge. It produces psychological dependency that changes the chemicals in the brain wave pattern, making your body feel as though it needs to have more. This, combined with environmental dependencies, such as having to smoke after eating or drinking, is why cigarettes is such a hard habit to break. Knowing how to combat these feelings will ensure overall success.
You may begin to feel cravings for nicotine only hours before your last cigarette. Do not give into these cravings. Remind yourself that they will only last for a few days, and you can then live your life completely smoke free. To help manage these sometimes unbearable feelings, try some of the following tips:
• Increase Activity: When you feel a craving coming on, try going for a run or doing some type of physical exercise. This will relieve pent up anxiety and stress associated with cravings. You will also be able to feel the enhanced function of your lungs as well as an ease of breathing, which may motivate you to quit further.
• Keep Hands Busy: A lot of smokers smoke simply because they are used to having something in their hands. Once a craving starts coming on, keep your hands busy. Try buying a stress ball or simply grabbing a small item nearby, perhaps a pencil or piece of fruit. Squeeze the item or fiddle with it in your fingers, trying to keep your mind off of the craving and urge to indulge in a cigarette.
• Keep Mind Busy: Keeping your hands busy during a craving is important, but so is keeping your mind just as busy. A lot of people will decide to listen to their favorite songs during cravings, belting out the lyrics and taking their mind off of cigarettes. Others may decide to read a relaxing book or call a friend.
• Put Something in Your Mouth: A majority of smokers are used to having something going into their mouths throughout the day. When you feel a craving coming on, try popping something other than a cigarette into your mouth. This could be anything from candy to carrots, and the decision is completely up to you. A sweeter option might enlighten you through the craving while a healthier option may leave you feeling healthier than before.
• Drink Plenty of Water: Water is incredibly important during the cessation of smoking, partly in fact because is flushes toxins and also to help minimize withdrawal symptoms. Water can also help with those suffering from headaches, which is common during the cessation of smoking.
• Stay Away from Events That Tempt You: Smokers will generally have a smoke in relation to a certain activity, such as while drinking alcohol or watching television. To combat this particular habit, try avoiding alcohol, television, or other event which enhances your want to smoke a cigarette until the cravings pass.
• Stay Away From Other Smokers: This may be hard if your best friend is an avid smoker, but if you are trying to quit, it is best to stay away. Stay away from parties and other social events where smoking may be present, as the pressure and intensity of cravings may leave you caving in.
• Get a Massage: Those trying to quit smoking will more than likely have stress, anxiety, and sleep problems. Getting a relaxing massage will help you defeat cravings and come to a more relaxed state, making sleep easier.
• Get Support: A support system is a great way to combat cravings. This support system could be your friends, family, or lover. Inform them of your cessation and let them know that if you do in fact begin to yell at them, to not take it personally. They should understand and they should encourage you through every step, taking special care not to anger you or cause you any more stress or discomfort.
Preparing Yourself to Quit
Now that you know how to stay motivated and combat unpleasant feelings, you're ready to take the next step towards quitting: preparing yourself to quit. These simple preparations will ensure you stick to your main goal of quitting while helping you to dodge potential slip-ups.
• Set Your Quit Date: Make this a realistic date. Unless your quitting cold turkey (described in depth below), then there is really no need to make your date the very next day. The average smoker will set their date for either one week, two weeks, or one month after their decision to quit smoking. It is important to stick to the original quit date and never push the quit day to an earlier time, as to stick with overall cessation.
• Get Rid of All Temptations: As a smoker, you probably have a lot of cigarettes and lighters lying around your home, car, and possibly even work space. It is imperative to remove all temptations from your life. Get rid of all of your cigarettes and related items including lighters, matches, tobacco, papers, and all other items that may tempt you.
• Tell Your Friends and Family: It is a great idea to tell your friends and family about your goal to quit smoking. Not only will they be able to encourage you, but will also know to keep the cigarettes away from you (especially if they are smokers).
• Clean: The residue of cigarette smoke is thick and can easily be smelt, especially if the smoker smokes inside of their home or car. After deciding to quit smoking, cleaning all of the areas you typically smoke in is a great idea. This way, you won't have to be combatted with the smell of cigarette smoke which may provoke you to pick up a cigarette and start smoking.
Medicinal and Non-Medicinal Ways to Quit Smoking
After you have been educated on the dangers of smoking, made proper preparations, and learned how to motivate yourself and combat unpleasant feelings associated with cessation, you can choose a quit date and begin a quitting method to increase chances of success. Luckily there are several methods for quitting smoking, all of which have been proven to help smokers with their cessation.
Medication cessation methods should typically not be combined with other quitting methods. For instance, Chantix (medication) should not be used with another medicine or nicotine replacement therapy method. However, natural remedies can usually be combined together to ensure quitting (example: nicotine replacement therapy gum and acupuncture can be used together). The best way to decide which method is right for you and if you need to combine multiple quitting methods is to discuss with your doctor.
Most methods of quitting smoking are available over the counter for an affordable price, much cheaper than a month's worth of cigarettes. Natural remedies such as acupuncture and hypnosis will have certain fees pertaining to the individual providing the service. Most medications will require a prescription from a doctor.
The below mentioned methods for quitting smoking are most commonly used amongst smokers trying to quit and have been proven to help smokers overcome their habit. Search through the available cessation methods until you find one that you believe would work for you and your needs.
• Decreasing: An easier way of quitting smoking is to gradually decrease the amount of cigarettes the smoker uses within a day. For instance, if a smoker smokes 10 cigarettes a day and sets a goal to quit smoking in 20 days, they may gradually quit smoking by removing 1 cigarette from their typically smoking habits every other day.
• Nicotine Replacement Therapy: This type of method of quitting smoking involves the action of replacing cigarettes with another source of nicotine. The most common types of nicotine replacement therapy options includes nicotine gum and patch. One is chewed, while the other is placed on the skin so the nicotine is absorbed. These methods work be releasing smaller and smaller amounts of nicotine throughout the body in an effort to help the smoker quit smoking overall.
• Medications (Pills): There are certain medications available to smokers prescribed by a physician. These types of medications, including Zyban and Chantix, are used to gradually help smokers through their cessation and help with unpleasant feelings involved with quitting.
• Hypnosis: A new fad entering into the cessation of smoking world is known as hypnosis. In this particular way of quitting, users are put into a deep sleep at which point the hypnotist will strengthen the smoker's ideas of quitting smoking, helping them to overcome the overall addiction altogether.
• Acupuncture: Acupuncture has long been used for a number of stress-relieving aspects, and when it comes to quitting cigarettes, it is also commonly used. Acupuncture is said to help the smoker through the withdrawal symptoms be releasing their stress and anxiety.
• Behavioral Therapy: As smoking cigarettes is an addiction, behavioral therapy works in reteaching the mind and body to learn new skills to replace the old addictive ways.
• Motivations: When it comes to the motivational way of quitting, there is a few different aspects that can be chosen. There is a variety of books to help quit smoking and also groups where smokers can gather together and talk about their unpleasant feelings. In a motivational group, smokers trying to quit can also hear motivational stories from those who have successfully ended their addiction to smoking.
• Natural Remedies: There are multiple natural remedies that can be used to help with cessation. Lobelia is one of the most common natural remedies as it provides a similar reaction in the body as nicotine, helping the smoker to cope with withdrawal symptoms. St John's Wort is also common as it helps to cope with withdrawals and cravings considerably. Other natural remedies that can provide relaxation through cravings include the following: Ginseng, ginger, oats, and peppermint.
• E-cigarettes: New to the list of quit smoking remedies include e-cigarettes. While still being studied on their effectiveness, a number of studies have shown that they help with the overall cessation of smoking cigarettes. This is due in part to the fact that e-cigarettes do not contain as many harmful ingredients as regular cigarette tobacco and the nicotine content is much less. Some say it is easier to quit smoking by gradually reducing the amount of nicotine in the e-cigarette cartridge until they are completely rid of their addiction altogether.
Each smoker requires different needs. While some prefer a natural method of cessation, others will find medications much more useful. Choosing a quitting method is the last step in cessation and is essential for success.
Are You Ready to Quit?
If you are thinking about quitting smoking and want to be on the path to better health and longer life, there is a variety of methods that can help you through your fight. The first step is to decide that you are ready to quit smoking and that you will stick to your quit date with no exceptions. Secondly, understand that the challenge of quitting is difficult, but most side effects of withdrawals are over within 72 hours and there are many ways to combat withdrawals and cravings. Lastly, stay motivated throughout the process and choose the cessation method that is right for you, whether it involves nicotine replacement therapy, medication, natural remedies, or another source. Remember that your health is priceless. The sooner you decide to quit, the better off your overall health will be.

Morbidly obese woman falls pregnant again despite having her Fallopian tubes tied SIX years ago
Lorraine's BMI of 70 places her into a different risk category and much more likely to have complications with her birth
A MORBIDLY obese woman has miraculously fallen pregnant again despite having her Fallopian tubes tied SIX years ago.
Lorraine, from Syracuse, New York, decided to keep her baby despite having a BMI of over 70, meaning that she could have serious complications with the birth.
The mum-of-two admits she's always had issues with her weight, "I have always been on the larger side since maybe 2nd grade," she tells the TLC show Extraordinary Pregnancies.
But fortunately, she has a supportive husband, who Lorraine says loves her for her but despite being in a loving relationship, the pair hadn't planned for a third child.
"I got my Fallopian tubes tied about six years ago," Lorraine explains. "I told the doctor, 'do what you've gotta do', I've already got a boy and a girl I don't need anymore," she continued.
But despite having the surgical procedure to prevent her from falling pregnant, Lorraine noticed something was wrong with her body.
"I came to my mother's house and I said 'I think I need to get a pregnancy test,'"recalled Lorraine.

Knowing of her daughter's surgery, her mum Tammy responded "I don't know how that's possible - go ahead and try," and sure enough the test came back positive.
"This baby decided to make an entrance and we can't figure out how he did it without there being any tube" continued Tammy.
Naturally the family were in a state of shock and when he heard of the pregnancy, Dr Robert Silverman said: "Lorraine's pregnancy is an extraordinary pregnancy because you're dealing with a subgroup of patients who we know have a dramatic increase in complications."
Over the course of the programme we follow Lorraine as she goes for her first scan right through until her due date and even told of the extra precautions needed for someone of her weight.
Dr Silverman explains that they have to use "very unusual instruments to allow us to do this surgery," but thankfully Dallas was born a healthy baby.
While there were some initial complication with his breathing, a scan revealed that has was in fact and probably just struggling to adapt to the air.
After Lorraine gives birth to Dallas she says: "He's beautiful, the pain is worth it to completely family," although she admits "there will be zero more babies for the family."

Stronger Together|Ephesians 2:1-21| September 17th, 2017
Warm Up: Ephesians 2:1-21 leads us to 5 "shared realities" that believers have with one another: a Shared Past, a Shared Grace, and a Share Position, a Shared Battle, and a Shared Faith. Which of these impacted you most? Why?
- Read Eph. 2:1-3. The Apostle Paul draws out the truth that at one time in life; all of us were "dead" spiritually. We were dead to God, unresponsive to His voice, His Spirit, His Word, and destined for His wrath.What does the Apostle Paul say are the characteristics and motivations of someone who is spiritually "dead" (v.3)?
- Satan wants to keep us in this deadness. What schemes does Satan use to accomplish this?
- Paradoxically, how does humbling ourselves to a "Shared Past" of "death" help us move forward in unity?
- Read Eph. 2:4-5. Thankfully, God loves "dead" people and does not leave us in our sin and deadness. In His grace, and because of His love, He provided a way for us to become alive to His voice, His Spirit, and His Word. And that was through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
- How often do you think about the resurrection of Jesus Christ and its powerful implications for your faith?
- Does the resurrection something that brings unity among believers? How so?
- Read Eph. 2:6-10. Because we have been made alive with Christ, we get to enjoy the blessing of a new position before God. Pastor George shared three aspects of that "shared position." We are all Alive Together, Raised-Up Together, and Seated Together.
- How does understanding your "shared position" in Christ change the way you live? How ought it change the way you interact with others?
- Therefore, since we have a "SHARED PAST", a "SHARED GRACE", and a "SHARED POSITION", we can agree in the unity we are to have with one another. However, much of our life is made up of divisions, or as the Apostle Paul put it, "dividing walls of hostility." What are some "walls of hostility" that Christians tend to put up as dividers between themselves and others?
Wrap Up: The strength of our faith grows when we are unified as Jesus' followers. Spend time in prayer asking God to help you recognize the many dimensions of your "shared life" together. Our past is forgiven, our present is powerful, and our future is glory! Ask Him to remove any walls that have been put up and to help you see where you need to ask others for forgiveness.

A Practical Design of Anti-Theft Car
Protection System Based on Microcontroller
Mohammed Abuzalata,Yahya
Muntaser Momani, Sayel Fayyad and Suleiman Abu-Ein
Departments of Mechatronics and Mechanical Engineering,
Faculty of Engineering, Al-Balqa' Applied University, Technology, Amman, Jordan Abstract: Problem statement: This study presents a new design for an anti-theft protection System as an inexpensive solution to protect cars from theft and from non-authorized users by using microcontroller-based system. Approach: Three stages of protection to strengthen the security of the car: Firstly, when the user access the car by the car key and entered the wrong password, the power is remain disable. If the power shifted by others, the second level comes by disabling the starter motor from being turned on, so the stolen keys cannot turn the car on. Results: Assuming that the thief or non-authorized person connected the starter motor directly to the car battery, the car well not turned on because the directional valve is set to the case where the fuel is fed back to the fuel tank and no fuel is pumped into the engine, which is the third security level. Conclusion/Recommendations: A microcontroller is programmed using C language, a directional valve is controlled by microcontroller to take the proper valve position to allow the engine to start or not. This system is worked properly and tested successfully.
Key words: Anti-theft system, automobile technology, inexpensive solution, international interpol statistics, insurance companies, password protected system, non-authorized person connected, tested successfully
GPS) to provide continuous position and velocity
tracking of moving vehicle (Alaqeeli et al., 2003),
presented a novel signal acquisition and tracking
method that reduces the number of operations,
simplifies the HW implementation and decrease time
A new international Interpol Statistics revealed that
4.2 million vehicles reported stolen in 2008 from 149
countries around the world. U.S statistics shows that a
car is stolen every 28.8 sec, adding up to more than 1
million cases of auto theft each year. Vehicle theft has
become the nation's first property crime, costing more
than $7.4 billion a year. One of insurance companies in
Jordan said, striking that the phenomenon of car theft
is not a private problem but had turn to insurance
companies, especially if the type of insurance is
comprehensive, there are 25 insurance companies in
Jordan and are daily dealing with an almost fixed
rate of 3-10 communications about car stealing.
Many car owners rely on a car alarm system to
protect their vehicles from criminals. Unfortunately,
even the most sophisticated car alarm systems are not
enough to prevent auto theft (Hunter and Ashjaee,
1988; Reynolds et al., 1990).
Wahab et al. (1997) described a real-time vehicle
location tracking system which uses the current
technologies of Global Positioning System (NAVSTAR
This new method is very fast processing of
incoming GPS samples that satisfies real-time
requirements (Bullock and Krakiwsky, 1994), stated
that Digital road maps are being used increasingly
throughout the world as they become more available.
Five major digital road map suppliers are focusing their
efforts on producing databases that support vehicle
navigation functions. Of a total of 147 vehicle
navigation systems in the world, 89 use in-vehicle
maps, of which, 35 employ map matching and 31 offer
real-time route guidance. Vehicle navigation systems
are limited by the maps they use, so the availability of
inexpensive, complete and seamless navigable digital
road maps remains as an impediment to the wider use

EWS-Multiform Make any centric or eccentric form desired 4, 6, or 8 edged, polygonal or free form with the EWS Multiform on the CNC turning/milling machines Free forms that used to be impossible can now be made with EWS Multiform on turning/milling or machining centres. For a six-edge outside the centre or a four-edge in the centre, additional processing steps such as reaming or eroding were necessary up until now. If a position change was also needed, complicated devices were needed for processing. This is now all possible with one chuck. What is behind this? EWS Multiform uses a custom internal cam disc unit to produce the required form. For conventional geometry like squares or hexagons, there are standard cam discs available. The cam forces the cutting tool to follow a path in order to get the desired geometric shape. Of course you can't defy the laws of physics which means that there will be a small radius on the edges. The multiple new possibilities however will allow engineers to come up with new processes for manufacturing. ID and OD slots, offset squares and straight polygons are examples of an endless list of opportunities. To see what shapes are possible all that needs to be done is verify with EWS application engineering. Function: The needed profile is created by using a cam disc. Both standard and customs versions are available. The drive runs in the turret just like a driven tool. Note: Constraint for turrets with permanently running driven tools as the rotation speed is limited to max. 1,000 RPMs. Requirements: Turret for driven tools For machines VDI20 - VDI50 and BMT55 - BMT75 Working range: Size 1: Square 4 - square 14 Hexagon 4 - hexagon 21 Size 2: Square 4 - square 22 Hexagon 4 - hexagon 36

I got an email last week from AWS telling me that since my Last Week in AWS account is now a year old, its qualification for the 12-month free tier is expiring. All good things must end, and I was expecting this.
"If you want to estimate your monthly bill," ends the email, "you can use our forecasting tool in the billing console." Wonderful-- I'd love to be prepared for the inevitable bill shock next month is going to bring.
And this is where things went to custard, and inspired this blog post. I can see very clearly what my current free tier usage looks like. For example, for S3 I'm making a lot of GETs and PUTs-- those will cost me $0.004 per 10,000 for the former and $0.005 per 1,000 for the latter.. I'll pay $0.023 per GB a month for the little storage I use, and data transfer out is negligible, as traffic from S3 to CloudFront is free.
And this is for S3. I use a lot of other services!
To be very clear, I estimate my cost of free tier services to be in the tens of cents range, and I don't particularly care about the economic impact here-- but I know the AWS billing model extraordinarily well (I consult on AWS bills for a living!) and I still have to sit down with a calculator to figure out what my expiring free tier is going to cost me.
My point is that it wouldn't take a lot for AWS to add a column to the billing console's "Free Tier Usage" section that tells me what this will cost me at the end of the month rather than leaving me here wondering whether my next bill is going to be 48 cents or 48 dollars.
