MSPs recommend ending pre-release access to stats in Scotland
Pre-release access to market-sensitive government statistics should end, according to MSPs on the Scottish Parliament's Economy, Jobs and Fair Work Committee.
The call was made in the Committee's report on economic data, How to Make Data Count: Improving The Quality and Coverage Of Our Economic Statistics. It follows an inquiry to which the RSS contributed evidence, both in writing and in person (represented by Martin Weale, pictured).
Ending pre-release access is a central part of our Data Manifesto and was a key recommendation in our evidence to the committee. The newly published report acknowledges our concerns and agrees that the current Pre-Release Access to Official Statistics (Scotland) Order 2008, should be revised, saying: 'In light of strong encouragement in favour of ending pre-release from a number of key witnesses to our inquiry, we believe that pre-release access to economic statistics which are market sensitive - including Scottish GDP, Retail Sales index, Quarterly National Accounts Scotland (QNAS) and Government Expenditure and Revenues (GERS) - should end.'
The RSS is delighted that the Scottish Parliament's select committee have made this recommendation but hopes that our evidence supports further action to repeal the Order for all official statistics – not just market sensitive releases. This is the policy that the UK Statistics Authority has taken forward for all ONS statistical releases since July 2017, when it scrapped pre-release access following a sustained RSS campaign.
The report also cites our Data Manifesto call to 'skill up the nation' for the digital and data economy and asks the Scottish Government 'to consider how it could further encourage or even champion a better awareness of economic statistics among policy makers and the media and to look at ways of improving public understanding'.
Another call in our Data Manifesto, which asks for official statistics to be at the heart of policy-making, and for governments 'to take evidence more seriously in policy formation and evaluation' was acknowledged by the Committee.
Stephen Penneck, who chairs the RSS National Statistics Advisory Committee, has welcomed the report, saying: 'We're very pleased that the Committee has taken on board our evidence and recommended the need to end pre-release access to market-sensitive statistics. We now urge the Scottish Government to accept not only this, but the need to end pre-release access to all Scottish official statistics in order to increase public trust.'

Great piece from Robert Reich over on BillMoyers, where he sees the following as the 'general consensus' and why that is wrong.
We shouldn't try for a single-payer system
We shouldn't try for a $15 an hour minimum wage
We shouldn't try to restore the Glass-Steagall Act
We shouldn't try for free public higher education
We shouldn't try to tax carbon or speculative trades on Wall Street
We shouldn't try to get big money out of politics
Most importantly is the core message. Just like everything that is important to you in your life. Never, ever, give up.
Remember in 2008 … Continue reading

Such control is conducted in "real time" on all big ships and is an integral part of formal ABYC (American Yacht and Boat Council) recommendations for all recreational boats in aluminium. Be very careful with your hanging anodes : if they are made of magnesium at sea, they will be likely to destroy your immersed paint work.

The six students - aged 18-21 - are former members of Keio University's Advertisement Society, a group that organizes the annual Miss Keio University beauty contest each November. On Sept 2, 2016, the suspects allegedly coerced their then 18-year-old victim to become intoxicated before gang-raping her at a beach house located in Hayama, Kanagawa Prefecture.
The girl filed a criminal complaint, saying she was forced to drink large amounts of alcohol, including tequila, by the group, and then sexually assaulted. Prosecutors said the group gave alcohol to other girls as well on the same night at the Hayama facility.
In October 2016, after the victim filed the criminal complaint, the university cancelled the Miss Keio beauty contest, and the Keio Advertisement Society, which had a 90-year history, was disbanded. Three of the students were suspended.

Mumbai Cops fine 2,190 bikers in 3 hours for rash driving
In a major crackdown on rash driving, especially at night, the traffic police fined 2,190 bikers, among whom 138 were found drunk, in just three hours in the wee hours of Sunday.mumbai Updated: Aug 05, 2013 09:47 IST
In a major crackdown on rash driving, especially at night, the traffic police fined 2,190 bikers, among whom 138 were found drunk, in just three hours in the wee hours of Sunday.
The drive was aimed at discouraging youngsters who race and perform stunts on bikes late at night, said Pratap Dighvakar, deputy commissioner of police (traffic).
Officials said Gatari Amavasya, which is observed before the start of the month of Shravan, when people stay away from non-vegetarian food and alcohol for a month, was another reason that prompted them to conduct the drive.
"The stunts and rash driving were not only endangering their lives but also that of others who commute by road," Dighvakar said, adding that they also hoped to catch chain-snatchers who use bikes to escape.
The traffic police organised checks or nakabandis at 26 different spots across the city, of which six spots were closely monitored including Marine Drive, Bandra Reclamation, Worli Reclamation, Western Express Highway, Carter Road and Back Road in Oshiwara.
The maximum number of rash driving incidents was recorded at Bandra Reclamation, Mahim and Chembur.
Around 1,400 constables, two deputy commissioners of police five assistant commissioners of police and 26 police inspector were deployed for the drive.
The police registered cases against offenders under relevant sections of Motor Vehicles Act and Indian Penal code for rash driving driving without helmet and drink driving.


text: Darius West 819 Report post Posted September 23, 2016 I take everyone's point about Sartar cavalry, it has been a long time since I found my copy. The Sartar cavalry aren't nearly as good as I remember them. My opinion is no doubt misinformed by the fact that I used them to break the back of the Lunars and harrowed Tarsh with them so often, back in the day. In the game King of Dragon Pass, you cannot have more weaponthanes than you have horses. I think a horse represents the difference between the carls and the tribe's dedicated warriors, as much as proper armor and weapons. Clearly being mounted is something the Sartarites understand and value, even if their hill fort culture can't produce cavalry of the quality of the Grazers or even the best of the Lunars. I would expect that Sartarites on the Eastern border with Prax would be better riders than the western side of the kingdom, with the exception of those Bush Rangers (they seem to get in everywhere). Next up, there are in fact a few Orlanthi tribal rider subcults of Orlanth, he is, after all, a mobility rune deity such as Finovan the Raider, Ulanin the Rider, and Beran the Rider, quite apart from Elmal. Yes, it is likely that many Orlanthi weapon thanes are poor riders and so operate more like hobilars, riding to battle, then dismounting to fight. On the other hand, many Sartarite ex-pats, outlaws and refugees served as mercenaries, and many of them would have been caravan guards and therefore would have been mounted. I am not suggesting that they would be a majority of Sartarite forces, perish the thought, that would be silly, but there would be enough. Now perhaps Mastakos is a god of Chariots, but he also likes riders, and there is an age of Hero Quests coming. Now Argrath is quite a cosmopolitain ruler, being one of the few people who has traveled across Glorantha and hero quested pretty much everywhere he went. If anything Argrath represents something pretty terrifying, in that he is perhaps the first person who will reconcile the magic, tactics and philosophy of the EWF and the God Learners since Delecti. Is there any doubt that he saw the cataphract tactics of the West, the Praxian riders the Lunars, and who knows what else? Now Argrath is NOT a conservative, and he has a war to win. Why would he rehash old tactics that are proven failures when he could hybridize a new and better answer? And if not him then why not Kallyr? To turn the Sartarite rebels into an effective force will mean an abandonment of prior military doctrines in favor of new tricks that the Lunars aren't ready for, even if those new tricks have their origins in old tricks. Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting the results to differ is a form of madness, so stop cuddling the lunes. I also don't buy the idea that Sartar cavalry uses recycled Lunar equipment and methods. Perhaps that is true in 1624, but why would it be the case even 5 years later after ongoing Sartarite military success and all that plunder? It might be handy to be able to dress as Lunars to mount surprise attacks, but you would want to have a clearly identifiable look so you didn't get shot down by your own side.

'Busby', which tells the story of the Scot's time at Old Trafford from 1945, through the Busby Babes era and onto the 1968 European Cup, had its world premiere in Manchester on Monday night and will be released digitally and on DVD over the coming days.
The film features journalists, players and others who knew Busby or worked alongside him. Ferguson was famously able to recapture the spirit of Manchester United that his predecessor had laid the foundations for several decades earlier and would therefore have been a valued contributor. But the 13-time Premier League winner was unable to be a part of the project.
According to the Daily Mirror, Ferguson was contacted about being involved but had to decline the invitations because of an 'ongoing involvement in his own project'. That project is set to be a similar cinematic look at his own illustrious managerial career.
Busby was appointed United boss in 1945, inheriting a club that had flirted with bankruptcy towards end of the previous decade and was left with a home ground that was unusable after being hit during a German bombing raid in the Second World War. His focus on developing young players was considered revolutionary and he was soon revered.
In 1948, Busby delivered United's first trophy since 1911. He won his first league title in 1952, while his Busby Babes side then collected further back-to-back league titles in 1956 and 1957. From the ashes of the side that sadly perished in the Munich Air Disaster in 1958, Busby famously built another great team and led United to European Cup triumph 10 years later.
By the time Ferguson arrived in 1986, the club had lost its way. There had been no further league titles since Busby's last in 1967 and the United blueprint had become smudged.
Despite early pressure, Ferguson was able to restore the club to its former glory in the way that Busby had envisioned and the two men became close.
Busby died at the age of 84 in 1994, but had lived long enough to see Ferguson win back-to-back Premier League titles and the first glimmerings of a new generation of home-grown talent that would be the backbone or unprecedented further success of another two decades.

KUSA — Americans in Haiti are being told to stay inside as people are burning and vandalizing the island's capital city after days of violent protests.
The protests began after the government tried to raise fuel prices. Officials scrapped those plans after these protests.
Despite calmer streets in Port-Au-Prince on Monday, a group of musicians from Colorado was still stuck in Haiti. They traveled there a little more than a week ago to teach at a music camp.
9NEWS talked to Zach Harris, the founder of Haiti Youth Orchestra, over the phone on Monday. He described what's he's seen on the streets.
"Physical barricades made of fallen down trees, burning tires, metal straps," Harris said.
Harris said he's about an hour north of Port-Au-Prince, along with four other people from Colorado including Zak Ruffert.
Zak Ruffert's wife, Jaeme, said he's a music teacher at Smoky Hill High School in Aurora.
"They are kind of just stuck and relying on us here. What's going on?" Jaeme Ruffert said. "What's the news? Can you check these flights? Are they going out?"
When the protests started Friday, the Colorado musicians had trouble leaving the school where they were teaching.
"There were men obviously all around screaming 'no photos, no photos'," Harris said. "There was a guy with a machete up front, but they let us pass."
Harris said they tried to get to the airport Sunday, but had to turn back.
"I could see people throwing rocks on cars and tons of shouting," Harris said.
Harris said despite the tense moments, he's also felt empathy for what people in Haiti are facing. The government's initial plan was to hike fuel prices by as much as 50 percent. They then abandoned those plans.
As of Monday evening, the group found refuge in their hotel. The U.S. Embassy maintained its warning to shelter in place.
The group will try to leave again on Wednesday. Some flights were able to take off late Sunday night.

This class was by far my most favorite class this year. It really taught me things I never knew of. I didn't do as I wanted to first semester and this class got me back on track. It showed me how to really utilize my time and energy. I would take this class again if I could. I loved the group work in the class and the engaging activities.

VSM Automation enables MIL-Comply to communicate directly with DLA's Vendor Shipment Module to secure Transportation Control Numbers (TCN) and Shipping Addresses, as well as small parcel (e.g. UPS and FedEx) labels and GBLs. This eliminates the need to access the DLA VSM web site, and transfer data back and forth.
While VSM is most essentially related to container labeling, Comply/Shipper VSM Integration (VSM Pro) works closely with its DIBBS Automation feature which automatically creates WAWF Receiving Report / Invoice transactions from EDI Purchase Orders transmitted to you by DLA DIBBS. The VSM Integration collects shipment container dimensions, which are transmitted to VSM in exchange for TCN and Ship-To address data, which is then stored for Mil-Std-129R container labels. The order is completed by adding an invoice number and then transmitting the DD250 and invoice to WAWF.
Comply/Labeling VSM Automation Option (P/N: MCL-VSM-1)
The Comply/Labeling VSM Automation option enables the use of the VSM Wizard, which:
- Collects container dimensions and their associated CLINs and quantities
- Submits request for shipping instructions to VSM (a VAN is not required)
- Retrieves TCN, and Ship-To / Mark-For addresses from VSM
- Retrieves small parcel carrier (e.g. UPS and FedEx) labels (when applicable) for printing
- Retrieves Government Bill of Lading (GBL) and other transportation documents (when applicable)
- Prints Mil-Std-129R compliant container and Military Shipment (MSL) labels
Note that VSM Automation transacts through DLA web services, so a Value-Added Network (VAN) is not required as it is for VSM Pro, which sends DD250s to WAWF. Valid VSM credentials are required, as well as the ability to access the VSM website with a valid certificate. These are required by VSM web services for security purposes.
VSM Automation Pro (P/N: MC-VSMP-01)
Bundles Labeling VSM Automation with eAwards Shipper to achieve a fully eCommerce-driven solution automating DIBBS shipment creation, VSM shipment handling and submission of WAWF Receiving Reports and Invoices. VSM Pro effectively eliminates routine access to those three Government websites.
Requires a Value-Added Network, such as the Mil-Pac VAN Service (sold separately).

What is neglect? Can exposing children to video games and T.V shows after the watershed be described as abuse? A discussion at work today has left me thinking. Of course it can.
Grand Theft Auto 5 is a prime example. I have heard children talk incessantly about this game. Not only is it not age-appropriate but it is alarmingly explicit and violent too. It is notorious for it's high levels of violence, sex and language. It is clearly NOT for children. Yet, children are exposed to games like this daily in the UK and around the world.
Coming from a background in where a man (my father) hated, ridiculed and abused women, it is so disturbing to see that this game shows all women that feature in it in an incredibly derogatory light. Women are seen as prostitutes, strippers, moaning wives, dumb girlfriends. Women are not seen as powerful figures. What kind of a message is been sent out to boys and young men? Rape culture is sadly growing. Surely, treated women as animals and seeing them as below men is not helping that matter.
Children are unfortunately exposed to all sorts. Ranging from violent video games to late night TV shows to even porn. How can a child understand anything like that. This is pure neglect and abhorrent abuse.
We are supposed to be protecting children. They are our future. Why is the world just setting them up to fail? Give these kids back their innocence.
Sometimes we're so concerned about giving our children what we never had growing up, we neglect to give them what we did have growing up.

PayWithText is a simple way to make payments to others using only SMS. PayWithText doesn't require any internet - only a cell signal. It was designed with those who can't afford internet-enabled phones in mind by Ian Mobbs and Jacob Vanderlinden for HackTX 2016.
This application is a proof of concept. Every user is given a mock account using CapitalOne's Reimagine Banking API, "Nessie", and allocated a random amount of money between $1 and $10,000. It then allows you to pay, request, and receive money from anyone with a cell phone number.
PayWithText was built using Django, a set of Python web frameworks. We store our information using PostgresSQL and host our application on Heroku. Communication is facilitated by Twilio, and payment processing is done by the Capital One API.
Python, Django, Heroku, Twilio
At the time, I had plenty of experience with Django and almost none with Flask - but Django is a VERY heavy tool for the job. In the future, I hope to re-write the entire application to use Flask. Additionally, we use Twilio headers for state management, which is bad practice at best and insecure at worst. This definitely needs to change.

Brief description
The Soviet Union stood as a state at odds with others throughout much of the twentieth century. As a revolutionary state, other powers viewed the Soviet Union as aggressively expansionist, dangerous, and difficult to deal with. The Soviets held much the same view of the capitalist world, and in the second half of the twentieth century the Soviet Union and the United States were locked in the Cold War. This module examines the content and conduct of the foreign policy of the Soviet Union and its relationship with other states. Beginning with an overview of late Russian imperial foreign policy, the module examines the impact of the Russian Revolution and the rise of the Bolsheviks on the relationship between Russia and the rest of the world, how security was sought in a challenging interwar world, the development and origins of the Cold War, foreign policy after Stalin's death, and the demise of Soviet power under Gorbachev. Themes addressed include continuity and change in foreign policy, ideology, the export of revolution, diplomacy, intelligence, anti-fascism, imperialism, conflict, reform, arms control, and ultimately the loss of power in the 1980s.

Investing in real estate is a very tricky business and if you plan to invest with the purpose of moving into the flat or property, it becomes all the more important that you do the groundwork beforehand. Many people cannot decide whether to go for individual house or apartments which are developed by real estate developers across multiple projects which crop up every now and then. While both the options have many pros and cons of their own, it is important that you go through them individually and decide which are the features or things you want your house to have and accordingly decide.
Home Loans
The first thing that comes to mind when thinking of buying your own house in Mumbai or property in any other city is the loan which you can take from the bank and how much you will be needing. In such cases, banks are more willing to give out loans to people planning to buy flats in apartments which are backed by good real estate developers as they have a good standing in the market and more often than not they have a tie up with various banks thereby making it easy for the owners to take a loan. On the other hand, it is difficult to get a loan for a house or a bungalow as the banks scrutinize the individual properly before giving the money. Also when they do, it generally covers only sixty to seventy percent of the land value and the rest has to be borne by the owner, which is not the case in terms of apartments.
Extra Amenities and Add-ons
The best part about owning flats in projects made by builders in India is that a host of amenities and additional features are taken care of by the builders themselves like the security systems, the power backup generators, the parking spaces, safety mechanisms in cases of fire and all other recreational facilities. These are built for all the residents and you don't have to pay anything extra for the same. However, in case you want to have a house of your own, these things have to be installed separately which entails extra cost, extra work and a lot of different tie ups which makes the whole process cumbersome.
Resale of Property
As a large number of properties today are bought as means of investment and not for use purpose, it is important to know about the resale potential of the property that you want to invest in. It is much easier to sell off a flat in an apartment complex as everything is well managed, planned and the new owners don't have to pay anything extra apart from the standard taxes. There is also the backing of the real estate developer which makes the property trustworthy and worth investing in. On the other hand, selling a house in today's times is very difficult as it requires a lot of capital investment, additional features have to be installed separately and everything else has to be managed immaculately.
So you can now decide and take a call about the type of property you would want to buy as it could be any of these affordable homes in Mumbai, luxurious flats, as per your choice and budget.

Angelo State Concerts
The ASU Choirs and Woodwind Quartet concerts are coming soon.
The Angelo State University Chorale and the San Angelo Community Chorale will present the annual Holiday Concert at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 24, at First United Methodist Church, 37 E Beauregard St. in downtown San Angelo.
Titled "A Celebration of Hymns & Psalms," the free concert will be conducted by Dr. Pamela Lee, ASU's director of choral activities since 1994. Guest performers will include the Central High School Chorale, Permian Basin String Quartet and soloists Patti Wetzel, soprano, tenor John Triplett and baritone Mark Cooper, all alumni of ASU's vocal music program.
The concert will include Felix Mendelssohn's setting of Psalm 115, as well as "How Lovely Is Thy Dwelling Place" by Brahms, "Laudate Dominum" by Mozart, "The Heavens Are Telling" by Haydn, "The Lord is My Shepherd" by John Rutter and "Chichester Psalms" by Leonard Bernstein.
The program will also feature favorite hymns arranged by Mack Wilberg, music director of the famed Mormon Tabernacle Choir. His stunning arrangements of the traditional hymn "All Creatures of Our God and King," spirituals "Down to the River to Pray" and "Peace like a River," and community favorite "Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing" offer widespread appeal.
The CHS Chorale, conducted by Landon Gilmore and Sunday Vaught, will perform two holiday selections, then join all the singers for a finale featuring Rutter's rousing arrangement of "When the Saints Go Marching In."
Angelo State University's Woodwind Quintet will perform a Woodwind Chamber Recital at 7:30 p.m. this Thursday, Nov. 19, in the Carr Education-Fine Arts (EFA) Building, 2602 Dena Drive.
The performance will be in the EFA Building's Eldon Black Recital Hall and is free and open to the public. The quintet is made up of students Rebekah Arana-Cook of McCamey on flute, Braden Weinmann of San Angelo on oboe, Mario Cardenas of San Angelo on clarinet, Alfredo Bonilla of Veracruz, Mexico, on bassoon and Chris McKowen of San Angelo on horn. The director is Dr. Jeff Womack, associate professor of music.
The challenging musical program will feature two woodwind quartets in addition to standard woodwind quintet literature, including a suite by English composer Gordon Jacob, the beautiful "Pastorale" by Igor Stravinsky, "Passacaille" by French composer Adrien Barthe, and three Brazilian choros, one of which will be the popular tune "Tico-Tico." The quintet will conclude with "Overture to The Barber of Seville" from Rossini's opera.
Also performing will be The Mesquite Trio, made up of ASU's woodwind faculty, Dr. Constance Kelley on flute, Dr. Timothy Bonenfant on clarinet and Womack on bassoon. The trio will perform works by Bach, an arrangement by English-born American composer Christopher Weait of an American folk song, "Bow, Bow, Bow Belinda," and Bonenfant's arrangement of Claude Debussy's "Petite Suite."

Businessman John Warren campaigned for Governor in Myrtle Beach yesterday. MyrtleBeachSC.com caught up with him at The Yamato Steak House at Broadway at the Beach.
Mr. Warren is a former U.S. Marine.
Warren stated his desire to address the ethical issues currently plaguing all things government in Columbia, S.C. He also stressed a need for reform at the S.C. DOT in how commissioners are appointed.
As MyrtleBeachSC.com has previously covered, decades long S.C. Highway Commissioner John Hardee is up for re-appointment by current Governor Henry McMaster. Warren says he believes term limits are one answer to many issues surrounding such appointments.
Warren is a no-nonsense conservative businessman. Our readers can follow his comments in the top video above. We shared this video with our grass roots network leadership team at OUR PLACE. We ask desktop users to please turn on the volume button to hear the video top above.
Warren is a smart, ethical leader for a state currently plagued with ethics concerns.
As we continue to follow the Governor's primary, which will be held on June 12, 2018, we promise to keep our readers up to date on the candidacy of Mr. Warren, as well as, others in the race.

Any Questions?
It's been a long time since I've done Sunday Scribblings.
This week the theme is Interview.
I invite you to interview me in the comments section.

What are some things you "must" accomplish before this time is over?
How is it you always manage to maintain such a positive outlook on life? Is it something you have taught yourself to do or is it something you've always done?
Looking forward to your response.
- November 8, 2009 at 12:23 AM
- Elspeth said...
By "this time" I guess you mean this life. While there are things that I feel I may want to do or have along the way, I don't feel so attached to them that I 'must' do or have them. I want to experience who I am - my abilities, the possibilities of my life as 'me', am I living fully, using my gifts, expressing my Truth, loving and being loved, connected to my Source? Everything else is taken care of within that.
I've never been a "negative" person, but it doesn't mean I don't have 'negative' thoughts or feelings. I just don't entertain them for long. Believing that everything has a reason or lesson and actually seeing the reason (or looking for it) leads to me not seeing a "negative" as 'negative'. Also being creative by nature - creating is therapeutic. As often as I create things, I am also recreating and transforming myself. Like putting glass into fire and blowing it to make a glass piece - it can't stay one way. I think having a 'positive outlook' doesn't mean you are always positive. It means you are willing to move, change and be transformed. To not be rigid and fixed - to be open to other perspectives.

Good idea for a post. I am brand new here, so:
What is your favorite color?
Do you have a pet? If so, what is it and what is its name?
- November 10, 2009 at 2:23 AM
- Elspeth said...
Hello Gel. I currently don't have one favourite colour. I appreciate all. Depending on my mood I will favour one at the time. As I child it was blue. I tended to favour the cooler colours on the spectrum. Until recently I hated pink, but as of Nov 2007 I took a sudden liking to it (although not keen on powdery baby pink).
I have a cat called Jasper and two dogs - Hindi and Pippa.

Where do Hindi and Pippa live? Inside? Outdoors? Fenced in? Do you have to take them out for exercise on a leash? Do you take them to the beach to run? Or just what?

They live outdoors (as do most Trini dogs) with their own shelter. They have a large garden, fenced, where they run, etc., so there's no need to take them for walks on a leash. They don't go onto the road. They grew up never having to deal with speeding cars, etc, so I doubt they would be able to handle that kind of environment.

What is your normal bedtime?
When was the last time you had a good cry?

No 'normal' time as such. My body winds down around 7 p.m. Since 1999 I've been going to sleep early, average 8 p.m. Nowadays I go to bed anywhere between 8 - 11. I wake up anywhere between 3 - 5.
When people say "good cry" I think they mean a lot of crying. I just cried during yoga. It wasn't 'much' in terms of tears and it wasn't long, but it was moving and releasing, so it was good.

Hello everyone! So if you are familiar with book blogging, you would know that bloggers often do wrap ups at the end of the month of the books they read that month (look out for mine in the next couple of days ;)) but I wanted to do something similar with the music side of my blog as well, so here are some of my favourite songs released in January! Please also be aware that I tried not to repeat songs ever, so some of the songs may not be in my final top 5 because of this.
I always like to give some love to the newbies! My pick for the best debut of January is going to go to the Korean girl group Cherry Bullet for their song Q&A. It's cute, bubbly, very catchy, and it doesn't take itself too seriously. I recommend listening to it when cleaning or completing otherwise boring chores!
I almost gave the previous category to WayV, but I figured that was kind of unfair as they are sort of a debut, but they are really more of a subunit of an already-debuted group. Anyway, so I'm giving them this category instead! Specifically, I'm giving it to their song Dream Launch. It has the relaxed, dreamy quality which I love about Chinese music, with the catchy charm of the group's K-Pop roots.n
Yes, I couldn't help myself with the rhyming. Sorry! Basically, this is my favourite song in English of the month (although, of course, the West doesn't just mean English music but whatever, the rhyming is more important). In any case, my choice for this one would have to be slchld's new single two faced. I love the sort of relaxed, bouncy R&B style of the song.
note: the categories featured may well differ from month to month
#5: Lee SoRa- Song request (ft. SUGA)
It's always nice to see what you end up with when two artists collaborate. This month, I'm loving Lee SoRa's collaboration with SUGA on Song Request. I'm absolutely in love with the narrative of the song, and SUGA's rap blends beautifully with LEE SORA's vocals.
#4: V- Scenery
Honestly, I need a V mixtape in my life so badly, but I will take what I can get. I absolutely love deeper, smooth vocals, which V always delivers! This song is sort of a cross between a ballad and soul, and the lyrics are really profound and beautiful.
#3: Haruna- Like A Movie
So I have evidently been loving ballady R&B this month! This song is still really unknown, but it is gorgeous and I hope you can all give it lots of love.
#2: SEVENTEEN- Chilli
Okay, things now take a more upbeat turn with this fun rap number. The hip hop team of SEVENTEEN never fail to impress me and I love the beat.
#1: MINSEO- 2cm (ft. Paul Kim)
MINSEO is quickly becoming one of my favourite soloists. This MV is colourful and quirky, matching her music style perfectly, and her voice mixes gorgeously with Paul Kim's!
So what were your favourite songs this month?! Please let me know and maybe I'll find some music I haven't heard of before… or maybe we'll have similar choices!

Junior catches up with author Jeff Kinney on his trip to the UK to promote his latest book Diary Of A Wimpy Kid: The Third Wheel
Posted: 15 January 2013
by Catherine O'Dolan
Let's start with the obvious question. Are you the wimpy kid? I think in the worst ways I'm the wimpy kid. Greg is the sum of my worst parts. I was more of an average kid. I had my good moments and I had had my bad, and the bad are captured in Greg Heffley.
What was your childhood like? I grew up in Washington DC, in a sort of average middleclass household. My father was a military analyst, my mother was an educator. I have an older sister, and an older brother and a younger brother, but I felt like a middle child. I think most people who have an older sibling and a younger sibling can relate to Greg. They are archetypes; they're exaggerated versions of siblings. Are there any significant incidents from the book that are from your own experience? Many of the incidents that happen to Greg Heffley have their origins in my boyhood. Once, I remember going to a party as a kid with my parents and the food that they had was very fancy. I knew that my parents wouldn't let me walk away from the table without eating anything, so I knew that I could eat a devilled egg, so I got like eight devilled eggs and sat down with my plate. I bit into one and it didn't taste anything like my grandmother's and I didn't know what to do so I dumped the eggs in this plant pot in the house. Every time I drove past that house for the rest of my life, I imagined the day they must have found those rotten eggs because they would have smelt something… That's the sort of thing that would happen to Greg.
How would you define "wimpy"? I would say it's being powerless but self-aware. Kids can relate to the character because they know enough to recognise that they don't have power over their own lives. Kids always aspire to the next stage, because the next stage always allows them more freedom. Being wimpy is not a physical designation as much as an emotional designation status.
You are the father of two boys. What's their reaction to the books? My older son sort of weirdly skipped over my books. He went right from Captain Underpants to Harry Potter. He has read my books, but not in the same way that lots of kids do over and over again. My younger son hasn't quite got there yet – he's just nibbling at the age.
Surely your son must be impressed that Diary Of A Wimpy Kid was voted The Best Children's Book of the Last Decade by UK children, beating Harry Potter? When I told my oldest son that I had won that award, he said "Well, dad. Your books are not as good as Harry Potter," and I said "I know, but they're funnier than Harry Potter, right?" He thought about it and then said "No, they're not, actually" so I don' t think he's that impressed.
Some of Greg's experiences have shades of The Wonder Years and Stand By Me. Do you think it's about being a boy? I think there is something universal about childhood, and boyhood. I was really trying to capture that timeless feeling of childhood and upbringing.
How did Diary Of A Wimpy Kid come about? It started off with failure and rejection. I wanted to be a newspaper cartoonist and I couldn't break in. Eventually I realised that the problem with my work is that I don't draw like a pro. I draw like a kid so I thought maybe I could make that work so I came up with the idea of the wimpy kid and worked on that for a long time. Finally, I got published so I feel very fortunate.
You've sold more than 75 millions Wimpy Kid books, in 41 languages in more than 44 countries. How does that feel? Everything feels very surreal to me. It feels like it's a ride and I don't know how long the ride will last, but I'm enjoying it.
How does "wimpy" translate globally? In Germany, it's called Gregg's Journal: I'm Surrounded by Idiots, because they don't have a word for wimpy, which I thought was very funny. So there aren't any wimps in Germany. Well, there is one now. In Brazil, it's called O Diario De Um Banana, which I think is a word that they almost made up to mean ineffectual.
You've been on tour to promote the books. How does your young audience relate to it in different countries? What surprises me is how similar the reaction is in different countries. You really can take almost any culture and the kids seem to be the same.
What sort of questions do children ask you? They always want to know how I come up with my ideas. I wish I knew, because they come to me very randomly. For example, today I visited a school and they had a sign in the playground that read: Wait here if you want someone to come and play with you. I thought that was such a cute idea, that kids who need a playmate will just wait there for a friend.
The last time I was in the UK I saw a sign that said 'the bully reporting station' where a kid who's being bullied can go and report the bully. It struck me that it's a great place for bullies to hang out and wait for their next victim! Some of the ideas come from my experiences, but a lot come from my imagination, so when I'm at home I'll lay on the couch and just think for hours. Sometimes ideas come, but most of the time they don't.
Do you think Greg will ever grow up? With the purple book, The Ugly Truth, the fifth book in the series, I've decided that Greg is going to be a cartoon character forever. He's frozen at his age for the rest of his life. That was very liberating for me. I thought of him as a literary character, because he's coming to life in books, but I realised that the DNA of the character is in comics, and cartoon characters don't often change.
Who is your inspiration for the cartoon images? My father introduced me to classic comics as a kid, things that he had read. My favourite comics, in fact my favourite storytelling of any sort to this day, is the Carl Barks' Donald Duck and The Three Stooges comics from the 1950s. I love those and I've enjoyed passing those onto my sons.
Do you think in some quarters cartoons for children are frowned upon because they're not "proper reading"? I think it's the fact that my cartoons are in book form that is elevating them from comic books to something that feels a little bit more like literature, but I don't think anyone really takes these books seriously, including myself. These books are a gateway to reading and I think that they teach kids that reading can be fun and that's why adults find them entertaining.
Your books have been made into three very successful films. How did you find the book-to-screen experience? I felt scared at first. Anybody who hands over a book is going to be surprised along the way, but as executive producer I really became a part of the process. I was on set for about half of the filming, and even appeared in the film as Holly Hills' father – it's a non-speaking role, so I'm just starting out.
What's been the highlight of your success so far? I got the meet the Obamas at the White House with my parents. The Obama daughters are fans of my books. We actually saw them walk out of a bookstore with the last Wimpy Kid book, so Barack Obama's name is on a credit card slip somewhere for my book. That's pretty cool. I also got to meet other presidents, George Bush Senior and Junior, and I got to speak at the Sydney Opera House and just a lot of different crazy things.

An official look at Black Friday's "Heiress" Air Jordan 11
Get ready.
Earlier this month, Jordan Brand unveiled their entire Air Jordan 2017 Holiday lineup, headlined by two Air Jordan 11 releases – the Air Jordan 11 "UNC" and Air Jordan 11 "Gym Red" – sitting under the umbrella known as the "Win Like Mike" campaign.
As part of Jordan Brand's unveiling, their look book showcased the entire upcoming range. But if you look closely, there is an Easter egg to be found. There seems to be a never-before-seen Jordan 11. The sighted shoe seems to replace the traditional patent leather with a texture material (probably suede) that comes dressed in Black with Gold accents. And because it's rocked by a woman in the book, we're expecting this to be the next "Heiress" Jordan 11.

Also spotted in the photo was the upcoming but not confirmed "Gatorade" Jordan 6, but is expected to release on December 16th. Stay tuned for more details on both sneakers!

If it had been released a year ago, Everything Is Illuminated would have probably been seen as the dramatic counterpoint to Borat. Both feature America-loving, Soviet-bloc protagonists with a penchant for misappropriating the English language and an ambivalent relationship with Jews. But where Borat uses language as a way to set his listeners off balance, Illuminated's Alex seems to instead have simply dragged its words into a configuration that makes him more comfortable, like bringing a footstool into reach. More generally, Borat puts a foreign character into normal situations to heighten their absurdity, Illuminated eventually reveals these oddities as only thinly exotic versions of typical indie-comedy quirks, which, as usual for this kind of movie, are soon pulled back for more affecting fare.
At heart, this is a road-trip movie structurally similar to Little Miss Sunshine or (more distantly) Y Tu Mama Tambien. Elijah Wood plays Jonathan, a Jewish-American writer who travels to the Ukraine in search of his family's history. He hires Alex (and his grandfather, who professes to be blind despite all evidence to the contrary) to guide him from Odessa to the town of Trachimbrod, where Jonathan's grandfather grew up before traveling to America during WWII. The three travel in a tiny Russian car through broad Ukrainian landscapes, accompanied by the grandfather's "seeing-eye bitch," a deranged pound-puppy named Sammy Davis Junior Jr.
If this sounds precious, it's no doubt far less so than the original novel, in which author Jonathan Safran Foer inserts himself as his own character, plays with multiple timelines, and writes partly in a magical-realist style--although, having read his Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, I suspect it is less "magical-realist" and more "hipster-pretentious." One of the more enjoyable parts of the film adaptation is that it cuts the literary fiction flourishes and makes "Jonathan Safran Foer" just another character, which is much more interesting than a walking reminder of the author's cleverness.
Nevertheless, during the mandatory indie-comedy roadtrip, Illuminated slowly sheds itself of the kind of easy targets derived from culture-shock and "quirky" characters, and begins to pick at the underlying threads of discontent in Alex's family (helped in large part by the likable presence of Gogol Bordello frontman Eugene Hutz), as well as the uncomfortable history of Jonathan's grandfather. It would be easy to criticize this as a transition from one cliched genre to another--that of the belabored Holocaust film--but to do so is to ignore that these cliches are most frustrating when they're done poorly, or half-heartedly. Illuminated handles both its slapstick and its pathos with competence, if not greatness, and the transition is handled gracefully enough so as not to be jarring. In the end, I found it to be a sweetly touching movie--surprisingly so, considering its pedigree.
In 2005, Woody Allen made Match Point. It surprised a lot of people, because it was A) not a screwball comedy, B) did not put Allen on screen, and C) was actually quite good (perhaps because of A and B).
I haven't watched a lot of Woody Allen movies, but I enjoyed Match Point. So I was looking forward to Scoop, his next film. Like its predecessor, it stars Scarlet Johansson, it is set in England, and it concerns itself with murderous aristocrats--but this time, it is a screwball comedy, it does include Woody Allen, and unfortunately it's not very good at all.
Scoop sets up Johansson as a college reporter on vacation in London who attends a magic show hosted by The Great Splendini (Allen), only to be visited by the ghost of an investigative journalist (Deadwood's Ian McShane) who says that a rich playboy (Hugh Jackman) is actually the Tarot Card Killer. Johansson teams up with Allen to uncover the story, while trying not to fall for the killer. If that sounds like a stretch, it's because it is.
At around 90 minutes, you wouldn't expect the movie to move slowly, but it does. I'd say that it's due to Allen's dawdling performance as Splendini, but the pace remains slack even when he's not on screen. When you've got a premise as offbeat as this, you really need it to be snappy to distract from the plot holes and the awkward story constraints, and Scoop is anything but.
It doesn't help that there's no chemistry at all between any of the three leads, making their actions seem disjointed. Allen and Johansson bicker amiably enough, but there's no real affection there, and I could never quite figure out why they were working together. Likewise, why Jackman and Johansson become involved is a mystery--and making Scarlet Johansson seem unappealing is an impressive feat. It's particularly odd, considering that in Match Point she was such a sexually-charged figure. Clearly, it wouldn't match the tone of the rest of the film for her to be a full-on seductress, but a little romantic tension is desparately needed. She and Jackman are boring together, if not a little creepy.
Hints of a better, funnier movie peek out from time to time in Scoop, which makes it all the more disappointing. There are some good lines here for both Johansson and Allen, even if they're lethargically delivered--she doesn't quite seem to get what makes them funny, and he's moving too slow for the one-liners to catch viewers unaware.
Sondra Pransky: I wouldn't be surprised if he asked me to marry him someday.It's a crime against casting that these aren't delivered well (they cry out for someone capable of a Thin Man-styled banter), not to mention the waste of McShane in a tossed-off role that's not much more than a cameo. Surely, there must have been actors better suited to play the roles of cub reporter, aristocrat, and vaudeville entertainer. The material's all there. It's just self-indulgently performed and shot. All of which is what I would have expected, not knowing any better, from a Woody Allen movie. That's the problem with making a Match Point and raising expectations. It becomes more disappointing when they're not met.

In 1977 in the UK during the prime time hour of an evening news program on Southern Television, someone who called himself Vrillon from the Ashtar Galactic Command hacked the station's broadcast to relay a message to the human race.
To this day no one knows who did it. On this episode we explore if this was an extraterrestrial, a secret government operation, or just a group of people having fun, or something far more sinister.
The full message is below:
"For many years you have seen us as lights in the skies. We speak to you now in peace and wisdom as we have done to your brothers and sisters all over this, your planet Earth.
We come to warn you of the destiny of your race and your world so that you may communicate to your fellow beings the course you must take to avoid the disaster which threatens your world, and the beings on our worlds around you.
This is in order that you may share in the great awakening, as the planet passes into the New Age of Aquarius. The New Age can be a time of great peace and evolution for your race, but only if your rulers are made aware of the evil forces that can overshadow their judgments.
Be still now and listen, for your chance may not come again.
All your weapons of evil must be removed. The time for conflict is now past and the race of which you are a part may proceed to the higher stages of its evolution if you show yourselves worthy to do this. You have but a short time to learn to live together in peace and goodwill.
Small groups all over the planet are learning this, and exist to pass on the light of the dawning New Age to you all. You are free to accept or reject their teachings, but only those who learn to live in peace will pass to the higher realms of spiritual evolution.
Hear now the voice of Vrillon, a representative of the Ashtar Galactic Command, speaking to you. Be aware also that there are many false prophets and guides operating in your world. They will suc_k your energy from you – the energy you call money and will put it to evil ends and give you worthless dross in return.
Your inner divine self will protect you from this. You must learn to be sensitive to the voice within that can tell you what is truth, and what is confusion, chaos and untruth. Learn to listen to the voice of truth which is within you and you will lead yourselves onto the path of evolution.
This is our message to our dear friends. We have watched you growing for many years as you too have watched our lights in your skies. You know now that we are here, and that there are more beings on and around your Earth than your scientists admit.
We are deeply concerned about you and your path towards the light and will do all we can to help you. Have no fear, seek only to know yourselves, and live in harmony with the ways of your planet Earth. We of the Ashtar Galactic Command thank you for your attention. We are now leaving the plane of your existence. May you be blessed by the supreme love and truth of the cosmos."
