Desert Rhino Camp offers one of the most thrilling adventures to the intrepid explorer - an encounter with the astonishing desert-adapted black rhino!
Desert Rhino Camp
Within the private Palmwag Concession in northern Damaraland
In North West Namibia
Please call us at 866-427-2540 or
Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Desert Rhino Camp lies amongst rolling, rocky hills with scattered euphorbia, ancient welwitschia plants, scrubby vegetation and isolated clumps of trees of the 450 000-hectare Palmwag Concession. This region is marked for its tranquil, minimalist beauty, surprising wealth of arid-adapted wildlife and the largest free roaming black rhino population in Africa.
Desert Rhino Camp functions as a collaborative effort between Wilderness Safaris and the Save the Rhino Trust (SRT) - an NGO that has been has been instrumental in the preservation of these rare, desert adapted black rhino. Having barely survived the slaughter of '80s and '90s throughout other parts of Africa, the black rhino population has doubled since the formation of the SRT.
Set in a wide valley sometimes flush with grass, accommodation at Desert Rhino Camp is in the form of 8 Meru-style canvas tents that sleep up to 16 guests.
The tented restaurant and lounge area of Desert Rhino Camp is also raised on a wooden deck in a single tent which is open plan and has partially open sides offering panoramic views. To one side there are couches and to the other a large, simple dining table. Evening meals are taken around the fire pit, in front of the lapa, where guests can relax and socialize.
Activities at Desert Rhino Camp obviously include rhino tracking on foot or by vehicle. Other 4x4 outings are geared at exploring this vast, miraculous ecosystem with some of the most knowledgeable guides in Namibia.
Palmwag Concession's freshwater springs also support healthy populations of desert-adapted elephant, Hartmann's mountain zebra, giraffe, gemsbok, springbok, kudu and predators such as lion, cheetah, leopard, brown and spotted hyaena. Bird life is prolific and diverse with most of Namibia's endemics present.
Rooms and Suites
Camp TentRaised from the ground on a wooden deck, each tent features an en-suite bathroom with a hand basin, flush toilet and shower. Beds are made up with crisp, white linen and have two dark wood bedside tables with wicker reading lamps. An extension of the deck functions as a front veranda where guests can relax in director's chairs to take in the magnificent vistas of the surrounding desert and Etendeka Mountains. Extra duvets are available for the sometimes frosty nights.

Beautiful video of divers in crystal clear waters in lava fissure Silfra in Þingvellir national park
The deep and frequently dramatic lava fissures are one of the things which give Þingvellir national park its captivating beauty. The fissures offer a striking contrast between the delicate and fragile plant life and the most dramatic forces of nature, as the fissures are formed as the European and American tectonic plates drift away from one another.
One of the best known fissures in Þingvellir is Silfra, which is filled with ice cold water which has been filtered crystal clear by the lava field. All of this makes Silfra a stunning diving spot, visited by thousands of travellers every year.

February Feathers
Eyes seeking forlorn sun as we fall apart
Forsaken February, would you strip for me?
Let your feathers tumble about your waist, your heart?
We could climb a ladder, solder the grey sky shut
Or write a letter whilst the light laps our lives
And scuffle, and smooch
From your nest, how does the feather fall?
Do you tap about the ties?
There is no doubt a wall about this month
And the red dog howls in the alley and the night presses in on the day
A wall about my mouth and the feather gone
Would you dance with me, February, beneath the forlorn sun?
Would you kick your heels and point your feet, destroy the rhythm; incandescent
The ladder tumbles through the gathering cloud
At last free, the light moves out beyond reason or reach;
There is a cage about this month it seems
And the night suffocates our dreams, the red dog roars loud in the street
There is a pall on this month
And the seams, the seams at any time may split
Would you hold me, February, or hold the ladder at least?
Inside we sit, wonder at the beginnings and ends of our time
The rise and rise of a tide; the feather hovers, floats
And the red dog wails in the alley, the night beats on the doors of the day
There is a muzzle about my throat whilst
The street screams contempt at the lovers, the living
There is a fever in this month, a perilous gladness
And it dances its jig before the lonely eyes of March
(Or the sadness of April, the destruction of May)
There is brutal honesty to these spectres, certainty always a guess
Throw a cloak about us, February, beneath your wings we undress
(the fox lies silent, the blind man may not see the grey skies;
the light is wild and violent, where it falls upon your eyes)
One of my oldest friends on this green earth and former bandmate in the almighty Endorphin, Matt Adams, has released a new album under the name Julius Way. Entitled 'The Slow Death of Julius Way,' it is built with layer on layer of emotion. Dreamwalking folk at its finest. First-listen highlights for me include 'The Dawn' and 'Enemy' but the album is loaded with good tracks. This is independent music worth supporting. If you dig it, please post a link on your blog or site.

[15:07:52] Michael Crockett: I'd try cornwall first, and see how your arse is feeling.
My dad's response to my plan to cycle to Burma
I am become grampus
World weary
Heaped with storks
That nest upon me
Paralysed by ancient age
The sage who learned nothing
Gazing brokenly after a single day
A Single Day
A life ago, two, three?
When we drove on instinct; reckless, free
Planted an orange tree we bought from a street market
Now it bears fruit, sags heavy in the afterglow of spring
You used to sing, the boughs straining with vitality
And After, always after, once the laughter fades
The storks take wing, I dream the tree -
gnarled and old as you, as me
For people that ordered a kook in the last ten days, thankyou very much and apologies for the delay in posting them out. Normal service will resume tomorrow.

I haven't featured any of my raw dishes lately, perhaps because I haven't been making that many 'elaborate' ones and haven't been taking photos of any. But here are some shots from when I invited two friends (two of my new friends/'raw converts' from the writers' retreat) to lunch a few weeks ago.First course: a delicious avocado mélange.
Have to come up with a name for it.
Raw mushroom and tahini/coconut combo which I intended to be something more solid, like a purée ... but it ended up being a great tasting sauce instead.

About the Board
The Board currently meets around every 2 months to hear the reports on progress of our trainees and projects. We would welcome new members to the Board. If you have a keen interest in the work we are doing and have skills that you feel can support this, please contact us on email@example.com for a membership application form and our code of conduct policy.
Presently, Moray Reach Out provides over 100 training places per week to approximately 50 individuals with varying degrees of learning disabilities in training and work placement experience across the 4 projects.
The Board
Chair: Terry Murphy
Vice Chair: John Rose
Treasurer: Alan McDonald
Trustee: Alison Mair
Trustee: William Mair
Trustee:: Fiona McKenzie
Terry Murphy joined the Board in 2015/16. He is our Chairman since March 2018. Terry is married with five children three boys and two girls. He has lived in the area for the last twenty five years. He enjoyed a long successful career in the Royal Air Force. On the subject of his background Terry states "During my service I travelled to many different locations and experienced several operational tours from Northern Ireland to Cyprus and Oman. I left the Royal Air Force and after a short time managing a local Medical Centre I secured employment with an Oilfield Services Company in Libya and within eighteen months I was promoted to General Manager and went on to double the company's business over the next two years. In 2004 I was headhunted to set up and run a new Oilfield Service Company in Tripoli. I quickly established the business and in a short time had won several lucrative contracts with local and International Oil Companies. The security situation was unstable after the war in 2011 and became too dangerous, with that in mind I returned home in early 2013. I am only to happy to join the board of Moray Out Reach and hope that my experience in business will be a valuable asset to the organisation."
John Rose, worked as Operations Manager with Moray Reach Out Waste Watchers for 8 years before retiring in 2016. John has a social work background and firmly believes in the work that Moray Reach Out does.
Alan McDonald joined the Board in June 2014. Alan is our Treasurer since March 2018. He has expertise in business and financial management and currently works for the Citizens Advice Bureau offering support and advice to a wide range of individuals and community groups.
Alison Mair joined the board late 2016. Her son attends Moray Reach Out Recycling, so she has a very close interest in the success of MRO ventures and the positive impact they have on daily life for the trainees who benefit from their endeavours. She firmly believes MRO has and will continue to have a great influence in the lives of many adults with learning disabilities in the Moray area.
William Mair also joined the board late 2016, after 15 years as a fisherman and 20 years in the oil & gas industry. Through these experiences he thought he had seen all of the ups and downs working life can give people, however having a son with learning difficulties he has seen first-hand the fantastic sense of achievement that Moray Reach Out has, and continues to give adults with learning disabilities every day of their working lives.
Fiona McKenzie joined the board in November 2019. Fiona has worked in training for many years being involved within the sectors of hospitality, customer service and construction, currently working full time as an Apprenticeship Officer with the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB). She wholeheartedly believes in the importance of good training and providing worthwhile learning opportunities and feels that Moray Reach Out really provides this for all the trainees, volunteers and staff that are involved with the project. "MRO is such a positive environment and I just felt that I really wanted to become involved too."

Tills chime for Pick n Pay's Zim stores as retail, hoteling income grow
HARARE - Pick n Pay is raking in the profits from Zimbabwe and its partner in the struggling country is now looking to open more stores buoyed by stronger performance from its other operations across city and resort hotels as well as agro-processing.
The SA grocer has a partnership with Zimbabwe's Meikles Limited in the TM Pick n Pay Supermarkets which competes with OK Zimbabwe and other smaller operators. There are about 55 stores – some of them co-branded – under the partnership in Zimbabwe and the two parties say they intend to open more this year.
"The segment plans to open a number of new stores and there will be further upgrades of existing stores," John Moxon, chairman of Meikles Limited said on Friday.
Meikles said on Friday that revenue in the supermarkets division jointly owned together with Pick n Pay had risen from US$414 million to US$487.8 million in the year to the end of March. EBITDA earnings in the retail division rose from US$23.8 million to US$34.5 million.
The further expansion bid for Pick n Pay in Zimbabwe is underscored by the absence of borrowings on the chain's balance sheet. This means that all resources at its disposal will be put into growth strategies.
Liabilities for Pick n Pay TM Supermarkets however increased from $43.3 million to $56.1 million which was also matched by a significant value increase in assets from $76 million to $85 million.
The larger supermarkets in Zimbabwe are top performing, with OK Zimbabwe also having strong revenue generation and profitability of $582 million and $16.6 million respectively during the period to end March. The higher revenue generation by Zimbabwe's big supermarket chains is mainly as a result of the adoption of digital payments in light of cash and forex shortages in Zimbabwe.
Meikles Limited's overall revenue across its operations quickened to $535 million against $457.6 million in the year earlier period, helping propel Ebitda earnings to $40 million compared to $24.8 million a year earlier.
The hospitality division under which Meikles operates city and resort hotels witnessed an Ebitda increase from $1.8 million to $4.1 million. The upcoming elections in Zimbabwe have largely driven up occupancy levels, especially in the city hotels category, say other industry executives.
"Both hotels are benefitting from a growth in occupancy during the first months of the new financial year (to March 2019)," said Moxon.
Refurbishments and upgrades of some of its hotels are also being planned for the next few months as competition intensify from other operators that are also face-lifting their hotels. There has been growing interest from tourists in Zimbabwe as a travel destination since the removal of former leader, Robert Mugabe last year.
Meikles' rival hotel operator, African Sun said this month revenues for the first five months of the current year had soared by 30 percent to $20.9 million, underpinned by growing foreign tourist arrivals at its hotels.
"Revenue up 30 percent to US$20.97 million from US$16.74 million achieved same period last year, domestic revenue was up 28 percent from US$9.05 million to US$11.60 million. Foreign revenue was up 32 percent from US$7.12 million to US$9.37 million," says the company.

The Drum Recommends: Commended is highlighting how Jaywing delivered a series of successful campaigns for Yorkshire Water.
In this series, we explore the finest work created by The Drum Recommended agencies. We will highlight top case studies to guide and inspire you in your journey to select a new agency relationship.
Last year the Recommended Agency Register (RAR) was rebranded as The Drum Recommends to bring it in line with owner The Drum. It remains committed to partnering brands with the correct agency using data and unique industry expertise.
Yorkshire Water had a vision. It wanted to stand for something, be relevant and generate a sense of shared responsibility with its customers.
As strategic agency partner, we worked closely with senior leaders and key stakeholders, conducting consumer research and examining customer interactions to articulate Yorkshire Water's 25-year vision.
'Blueprint' shows how Yorkshire Water is helping to secure a safe future for the region's water, while promoting its extra services. Delivered through a series of campaigns and interactions, it connects with customers on the things they said mattered to them, in their preferred channels and environments.
The campaign led to over 12 million opportunities to see and/or hear the 'Blueprint' message, with just under 5,000 unique visitors per month visiting the microsite.
'Blueprint' was also described in feedback from Ofwat as 'deservedly becoming recognised as one of the best plans in the industry'.

Major League Soccer completed the second week of its 2016 season on Sunday, and interesting scorelines abounded. Week two was a sharp rebuke to anyone who thought they could predict results in MLS.
Dom Dwyer's brace held up for Kansas City as they held off a valiant effort from 10-man Vancouver. Dwyer's first goal was a rocket from outside of the box, into the top corner, just five minutes into the match. He scored again from a much closer distance in the 41st minute. The Whitecaps dug themselves a bigger hole with Jordan Smith's red card late in the first half. The visitors later earned a penalty, which Pedro Morales put away, but were unable to complete their comeback efforts. SKC has two wins to start the year; Vancouver has two losses.
Toronto fought back to earn a point at Yankee Stadium on Sunday. A couple calls went the hosts' way as they built a first half lead. Tommy McNamara earned a penalty, which was scored by David Villa for the first goal. Villa appeared to handle the ball before his second goal, but this went ignored by the referee and TFC found themselves two goals down. Then Sebastian Giovinco took over. Damien Perquis finished a free kick from the Italian in first half stoppage time. Giovinco himself scored the equalizer in the 76th minute. Both teams have four points through two weeks.
Montreal broke the game open in the second half, and sent the Red Bulls home with a second-straight loss. The hosts knocked on the door often in the first half, but entered the break without a goal to show for their efforts. Dom Oduro got the breakthrough in the 58th minute. Bradley Wright-Phillips had a great chance for an equalizer, but Evan Bush denied him. On the ensuring counter, Ignacio Piatti scored his third of the season. Anthony Jackson-Hamel added another in stoppage time. The Impact have done well in their opening two games to show that there is more to the side than Didier Drogba.
San Jose stood firm against the defending champs, and won thanks to the early favorite for goal of the year. Portland could have taken an early lead when Lucas Melano struck the bar in the sixth minute. Instead, the game's first goal was scored by Chris Wondolowski. The goal everyone will remember from this game was a long-distance chip from Quincy Amerikwa. He saw Adam Kwararsey off his line, and floated the ball to the one corner of goal the keeper couldn't reach. Jack McInerney's late goal was merely consolation for the Timbers.
This was not expected, to put it lightly. Houston rocked Dallas, scoring four times in the first half hour of a blowout victory. David Horst opened the scoring in the sixth minute, and Matt Hedges put his team in a deeper hole with an own goal shortly thereafter. Things did not get better from there for Dallas. Ricardo Clark, Andrew Wenger, and Will Bruin all got on the scoresheet before the night was over. It marks the first victory for the Dynamo over their Texas rivals since 2012.
Chris Pontius scored twice as Philly disrupted Columbus' home opener. The Crew were in control for most of the first half, with a number of good chances that went by the wayside. Pontius made them pay in first-half stoppage time, scoring after a long throw-in. It was Pontius again in the 71st minute, finishing off a quick counter by the Union. Kei Kamara cut the deficit in half, but it was not enough for Crew SC.
RSL overcame an early deficit and defeated Seattle. Osvaldo Alonso put the Sounders on the board first in the 26th minute. But Seattle was outshot over the course of the match, and RSL fought back. Sunny Obayan scored his first MLS goal just before halftime to level the match. Salt Lake got the breakthrough late, when Jamison Olave out-jumped Tyler Miller to head in the winning goal. Seattle has started with two losses in a row, which they can't be pleased with.
A late, late winner from Marco Pappa gave Colorado three points against LA. To the Rapids' credit, they were deserving winners for their full performance. They out-possessed and out-shot the Galaxy, who were playing again without Giovani Dos Santos. Jelle Van Damme hit the bar, the closest LA came to scoring. Deep in stoppage time, the ball fell to Pappa in LA's box, and he volleyed it hard, off the underside of the bar and in. The first goal of Colorado's season earned them three full points.
Orlando was frustrated by a draw against 10-man Chicago. Cyle Larin scored again, giving the hosts an early lead. But they would be unable to hang on to that lead. David Accam's raw speed was too much for Seb Hines to deal with on a ball over the top, and the Ghanaian forward got in behind and beat the keeper. Michael Harrington was sent off for a reckless challenge in the 32nd minute. For the second game in a row, the Lions had a lengthy man advantage and were unable to score.
New England and DC played to a scoreless draw in Foxboro. The Revs controlled most of the match, with more than double DC's shot total, but only managed three of those shots on target. New England can have complaints about a late no-call in the box when it appeared that Juan Agudelo was wrestled to the ground. Agudelo did not start, but came in when Charlie Davies left the match with an injury in the first half.

Unbuckling the littles, toting them into the store and standing in a long checkout line probably sounds less than appealing. If you'd rather keep the kiddos comfy in the safety of your own car, Drive Up is for you. Just shop in the Target app, wait for a notification and drive up to the designated parking spot. A Target employee will bring your purchases to you.
If you're wondering whether this service is available at your local Target, the company just expanded it to include more than 1,250 stores. This includes new additions in Maryland (Annapolis, Frederick, Hagerstown, Salisbury, Silver Spring), Virginia (Charlottesville, Fairfax, Falls Church, Harrisonburg, Fredericksburg, Lynchburg, Richmond, Roanoke), Texas (Galveston, Laredo, McAllen, San Marcos), Georgia (Albany, Valdosta), Florida (Fort Meyers, Sarasota/Bradenton) and California (Redding, Santa Rosa, Simi Valley).
According to senior vice president, digital at Target, Dawn Block, "This expansion brings us one step closer to offering Drive Up at most Target stores by the end of the year."

Over the last few decades, tattoos have become an increasingly popular staple of mainstream fashion and style. At YEAY, we ourselves have witnessed an increase in the number of tattoo vouchers purchased via our app, often for the purpose of gifting these to partners or family.
To better understand the appeal of tattoos around the world, we have created the Global Tattoo Trend Index. The list is a result of data gathered from hundreds of parlours across the globe, including some of the industry's most prestigious studios. From the final list of 100 cities, we split our analysis into two sections;
First, the Accessibility Ranking analyses in which cities it is most convenient to get a tattoo by comparing the number of studios by population to the average hourly rate to get inked.* The research shows that San Francisco, USA offers the most expensive hourly rate at €250 per hour, whilst Miami Beach, USA offers the most tattoo parlours by capita at 28.48 studios per 100,000 citizens. Overall, Cape Town, South Africa ranks as the most accessible city for tattoos, offering the most parlours per capita weighed against cost.
Secondly, our Purchasing Popularity Index looks at how tattoos are purchased and gifted.** Denpasar, Indonesia calculates as the city with the highest percentage of tattoos purchased by tourists at 99%. Of tattoos purchased as gifts, Delhi, India has the most gifted from parents (65%), Milan, Italy from other family (50%), Reykjavik, Iceland from friends (90%), and Madrid, Spain and Cordoba, Argentina from partners (99%).
To better understand the background of the research and reflect the general opinion on the topic "tattoos", we partnered with Appinio to ask 5,000 people the following six questions***:
*Accessibility Ranking does not take into account waiting times at tattoo parlours, and the ranking is not reflective of the quality or style of tattoo. Always shop around to make sure you find the best artist for your needs! Average hourly costs were calculated by contacting numerous reputable studios within each city, presenting them with two images and asking an hourly rate for each.
**Purchasing Popularity Index calculated by contacting studios in each city an average annual breakdown of each category.
***The study was done on the 31st of October 2016 with 5000 participants. 2337 male (47%) and 2667 female (53%). Participants were between 14 and 73 years old (with an average age of 22).

Peter J. Thompson / National Post
Jimmy Shaw, Joules Scott-Key, Emily Haines and Joshua Winstead may not have 25 No. 1 records to their name playing as Metric, but they have pushed through some lean times.
Ben Kaplan, Weekend Post · Apr. 3, 2009 | Last Updated: Apr. 20, 2009 10:29 AM ET
Emily Haines and Jimmy Shaw are like Canada's Mick Jagger and Keith Richards -- if Jagger looked like Uma Thurman and Richards was a 34-year-old with fewer cumulative falls from the coconut tree. "Yeah, and if we had 25 No. 1 records," Shaw says with a laugh.
The duo, the core of Metric, have been making music together for almost 13 years.
"If I ever have children, I hope they meet the people they're meant to," says Haines, the group's singer and lyricist. "Jimmy is music for me."
The music of Metric is best described as intelligent dance tunes with penetrating lyrics and big choruses. But they're too underground for the mainstream and too mainstream for the underground, and so the group seems stalled on the verge of mega-fame. Whatever success they've accrued -- and they're releasing their fourth album, Fantasies, on Tuesday -- it's not quite enough.
"Am I really such a strange and aggressive frontwoman that it's too much for people to handle?" asks Haines, mentioning Jagger, Iggy Pop and James Brown as performers she envies. "I don't want to be The Ramones and have somebody else write a song that sounds like me and still live in an East Village studio. As long as I can remember, we've had people tell us we should be huge."
Haines and Shaw met during the summer of 1996 at Toronto's Horseshoe Tavern. Their mutual distaste for the scene was a powerful bond.
"This blows," Haines said to Shaw, watching a group that had seen too many Spin Doctors concerts.
"You think this is terrible?" Shaw asked.
"Brutal," replied Haines, who was back in Toronto between semesters at Concordia University. Whatever else happened that night -- and their relationship status is guarded so closely it makes Meg and Jack White look like a couple of blowhards -- it was enough to encourage Shaw to join Haines in Montreal.
"Right away I knew we were going to make music together," says Shaw, who trained on the trumpet at the Juilliard School in New York City. "We both knew we wanted to go someplace. We wanted to make something fresh."
Toronto in the mid-'90s, however, was hardly the mecca of indie rock hipsterism that it is today. Canadian music was Bryan Adams and Celine Dion: Alanis had just released Jagged Little Pill, Feist was a dancer and Ossington Street was home to Vietnamese gangs.
"They always had this manifest destiny attitude, they had a taste for something bigger, you could tell," says Sebastien Grainger, who was drumming with Death From Above 1979 when Shaw and Haines first paired up.
At the time, the duo made electronic music heavily influenced by Massive Attack.
"In those days, you could be a popular band in Toronto," Shaw explains, "and not get a gig in Buffalo."
Haines and Shaw hightailed it to New York.
"A good way of shaking that burdensome identity of middle-class comfort is the Greyhound bus to St. Mark's Place," says Haines, who found work in a 24-hour East Village diner. For his part, Shaw found what seemed like perfect rock 'n' roll training quarters in Williamsburg, Brooklyn: a 10-bedroom warehouse with a stage and a bar.
"It was a real s--thole, the neighbourhood sucked, we were all radically unfashionable and none of us had a goddamn cent," says Torquil Campbell, Shaw's high-school friend who lived in the warehouse and would eventually start the group Stars with Haines' friend Amy Millan.
"At least Jimmy and Emily were thin and good-looking," says Campbell. "I was fat and alcoholic. It was abject misery."
It was also fodder for pop songs. Their other roommates included members of TV on the Radio, the Liars and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
In 1999, Warner Music gave Shaw and Haines $5,000 to record a demo. No one was under the impression that they were going to challenge *NSync for the cover of Rolling Stone, but the tape was enough to get them invited to record by a producer in London. The trip was less than successful.
"I felt like an idiot waiting for someone to tell me I'm cool. I don't want to be f--king cool," Haines says. "I don't want to impress someone in marketing."
"They got shafted by people over there who think you're only as good as the last line of blow you did with someone at a party," says Campbell, who consoled his friends when they returned to Brooklyn and their restaurant jobs.
For drummer Joules Scott Key, however, their return to Brooklyn came at an opportune time. "My girlfriend got me hooked on their demo, I played it all summer and I freaked when I heard they were coming back," says Key, who approached Haines and Shaw as they drowned their sorrows at a Yeah Yeah Yeahs show.
"I was like, 'If you like my band so much, why don't you join?' " says Shaw with a laugh. According to Haines, when Key agreed, they didn't even realize whom they'd got.
"We found out through the grapevine we'd hired one of the best drummers in New York," she says. "I was like, 'Really? The guy with great hair?' "
Sebastian Grainger says one of the things that's made Metric successful is their ability to take risks. After the band found bass player Josh Winstead, whom Key had known from his University of North Texas days, they picked up and moved to Los Angeles.
"From the beginning, Jimmy and I had this sense of direction," Haines explains. "There's this feeling that we both follow; maybe that's what took us to Los Feliz. Or maybe we just didn't want to lug our gear up the stairs any more."
Los Feliz, Los Angeles is a lot like Williamsburg and, for that matter, a lot like the Ossington strip in Toronto is today. Metric began playing a residency at The Silverlake Lounge and gradually attracted an influential audience.
"People would walk past us to use the restroom," remembers Winstead, who must have wondered why he moved across the country to play dive bars the band could have played in New York. The group built a following and were soon in the studio recording Old World Underground, Where Are You Now? By this time, they'd been playing future hits like Hustle Rose and Combat Baby for years.
"That's when The Strokes came out and it was like, you can be in a band with your friends and be successful," Shaw says.
The band caught the attention of a small record label owned by Andy Factor. He had discovered surf rocker Jack Johnson and had a recipe for growing a band -- put them on the road. Haines and Shaw were both 28 years old. They'd stay on the road till they turned 30.
"Emily, man, she's a strong-ass woman," Shaw says, describing how the band crisscrossed North America, sleeping on couches, never missing a date.
"Our options were clear," Haines explains. "Wait around for something to happen or hop in a van and play. Living on cigarettes and coffee in your twenties and seeing the country is hard, but it's not that hard, you know?"
What was hard was watching their friends back home become stars. In 2003, You Forgot It In People was released by Broken Social Scene, a record that featured both Shaw and Haines.
"I remember when I was 18, hanging out in my backyard with Emily when she was just learning guitar," says Kevin Drew, Broken Social Scene's frontman. "Three weeks later, she'd already learned eight songs. I remember wondering how I could keep her in my backyard forever."
"Our rise was slow and gradual, but their record blew up huge," says Shaw of their friends' success. "Nothing wrong with healthy competition, but it was like, 'OK, right now, let's go!' "
The band didn't make it home to Toronto until 2005. They had been touring for so long, they didn't realize they'd become successful. At first they booked one night at the Mod Club. After selling that out, they booked three more. Each night was a sold-out show.
"Holy s--t, we broke," says Shaw of the band's mentality. They said goodbye to L.A. and moved back to Toronto, renting another warehouse, this time in Chinatown. They recorded the album Live It Out in two months.
Old World Underground sold 100,000 copies in Canada and upwards of 45,000 copies in the U.S., and approximately 50,000 more in the U.K. and continental Europe, not to mention even more records sold in Australia, New Zealand and Japan.
"It was the first time in my life that I put high expectations on myself," Shaw says. Things soon exceeded even his wildest dreams: In January, 2006, Metric played two sold-out nights at Madison Square Garden with the Rolling Stones.
"We were killing it! Live It Out was selling and we were on top of the world," says Shaw, but the band's relentless ambition got the best of them. Metric has never been on a major label. They started on an indie in L.A. and released Live It Out on Last Gang Records in Toronto. They saw Europe as the next market to break. They toured the country without rest for the next two years.
"We were raging, raging, raging alcoholics," says Shaw, who took to cavorting around Europe's bars in a blond rocker wig. "By the end, we were all so physically, spiritually and mentally exhausted, the only way to get through a show was [to be] completely piss drunk."
For her part, Haines now equates success with being healthy. "We've lived the bottle of whiskey and Power Bar diet," she says. "Maybe John Lennon took vitamins, who knows?" They opened a series of shows for Bloc Party, who then had the No. 1 record in the U.K. "I was looking at them and they seemed miserable," Shaw says. "Do I really want to be Bono? Maybe I don't."
While the band was on tour, their hometown became the new hotbed of indie rock: Feist had eclipsed Bryan Adams and Celine Dion.
z Next week, recording the new album. On April 18, releasing it into the world.

It really depends on what you are into. We saw a portion of a mtn biking film called Life Cycles that was out of this world! I loved all of the shots in this film. There was one section in particular that completely mesmerized me. There were riders doing jumps in some wheat fields, they would all of the sudden appear from out of nowhere and then disappear back into the field. It was so cool!

"Just by looking around this evening, I am convinced that the future of our profession is in exceptionally capable hands."
Sunil has been at the heart of the region's public relations industry for more than two decades, and founded ASDA'A in 2000. In 2001, along with four peers in the industry.

Godrej speaks up again: Intolerance, hate crime rampant, can hurt growth
New Delhi: Leading industrialist Adi Godrej, Chairman, Godrej Group, Saturday warned that rising intolerance, hate crimes and moral policing can "seriously damage" economic growth of the nation. He was speaking at a leadership summit to celebrate the 150th anniversary of his alma mater, St Xavier's College.
Talking about India being among the fastest growing economies in the world and Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently announcing his vision of India becoming a $5-trillion economy, Godrej said, "But with the growth vision and dreams firing away, it's not all a rosy picture as yet. One must not lose sight of the impoverishness that still massively plagues our nation, which can seriously damage the pace of growth going forward."
"Unemployment is soaring at a four-decade high of 6.1%. It is a problem not only for India but a concern for most countries around the world. Rising intolerance, social instability, hate crimes, crimes against women, moral policing, caste and religion based violence and many other sorts of intolerance are all rampant," he said.
Godrej also congratulated Modi for presenting a "grand vision" to build a new India and nearly double the economy to a $5-trillion giant over the course of his second term in office.
Godrej was the first leading voice in India Inc to speak out during Modi's first term. In an interview to The Indian Express on May 12, 2016, he had pointed out that beef ban and prohibition in certain states were hurting the economy. "Some of the things are affecting growth, for example, the ban on beef in some states. Because what do you do with all these extra cows? It is also affecting business, because this was a good source of income for many farmers. So it's a negative," he had said.
"Prohibition is bad for the economy. It's bad for social structure, for drinking doesn't reduce. It gives rise to bad liquor, and then mafia. All over the world, it has been unsuccessful. In America, it has been unsuccessful. In India, we tried prohibition, but we were unsuccessful," he had said.
On Saturday, Godrej said chronic water and air pollution, indiscriminate industrialisation, water crisis, growing use of environment-damaging plastics and crippling medical facilities due to the country's healthcare spend being the lowest among its emerging market peers are among the other issues that need to be tackled on a war footing.
Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy, his wife Sudha Murthy, Orchid hotel founder Vithal Kamat, former Thermax chairperson Anu Aga, Teach For India CEO Shaheen Mistri, Titanium Industries MD Vasanth Kini were among those at the summit.
Former Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia said it was important to resolve the question on quality of official data, and this can only be solved by the government's statistical system providing a credible answer. He was referring to the recent controversy over former CEA Arvind Subramanian's research paper last month mentioning that India's growth rate between 2011-12 and 2016-17 was overestimated.
"Inclusiveness must include benefits that go to the generations of the future," he said. "During the UPA regime, in the first seven years, the average growth rate was about 8.5%… In its last three years, it did slow down. World also slowed down, but we slowed down more than the world did. Nevertheless, the economy grew at 7.5%. Within this period, the data clearly showed, the quality had gone down dramatically. We didn't go as good as we wanted to in delivering quality basic services. The number of children in schools increased, the number of years they spent in school increased, but the learning levels weren't improved," Ahluwalia said.

9 Practical 3, Switch Wiring Guide Collections

9 Practical 3, Switch Wiring Guide Collections - A first look in a circuit diagram might be puzzling, in case look for a subway map, you can read schematics. The purpose is equal: getting from point a to factor b. Literally, a circuit may be the path that enables power circulation. In case you recognize matters to look for, it'll emerge as 2d nature. Whilst at first you'll just be analyzing them, eventually you'll begin developing your personal. This manual will screen a few of the not unusual symbols you're likely to see with your future electric engineering profession. Voltage: measured in volts (v), voltage is the 'stress' or 'force' of strength. This is typically provided by means of an electric battery (like a 9v battery) or "mains power," the retailers inner your property function at 120v. Shops in different international locations operate at a special voltage, which is why you need a converter while travelling.
A wiring diagram is a kind of schematic which utilizes abstract pictorial icons to reveal all of the affiliations of elements in a system. Electric wiring representations are made up of two matters: signs that stand for the components inside the circuit, and additionally lines that constitute the connections between them. Resistance: measured in ohms (r or ω), resistance defines how without difficulty electrons can waft thru a cloth. Materials consisting of gold or copper, are called conductors, due to the fact they without problems permit float of motion (low resistance). Plastic, wood, and air are instances of insulators, inhibiting the motion of electrons (excessive resistance).
Ac (alternating contemporary). In ac, the drift of current periodically alternates between guidelines, frequently forming a sine wave. The frequency of ac is measured in hertz (hz), that is normally 60 hz for electricity in residential and commercial enterprise functions. To review a wiring diagram, initially you need to understand simply what fundamental elements are consisted of in a wiring diagram, and which pictorial symbols are used to symbolize them. The common components in a wiring diagram are floor, energy supply, twine as well as connection, output devices, buttons, resistors, reasoning gateway, lighting, and many others. A list of electrical symbols and descriptions will be observed on the "electric signal" page.

The Closest Colin Firth Will Ever Get To Hardcore Gay Porn
When Colin Firth takes the stage at the Oscars this Sunday to accept the award for Best Actor for The King's Speech, expect him to give a special thanks to the gay porn stars who helped his performance by providing him with the scent of expired cum, ass crack sweat, lube residue, burt rubber and anus tears. That's because QueerClick (NSFW) are the only hos that actually pay attention to the scenery in gay fuck films and noticed that the Oscar-nominated set of The King's Speech was previously used in one UK Naked Men's movies. They were probably pinching at their peen hole when the image of Colin Firth stretching his mouth hole came on their brain and they realized…THIS IS GEOFFREY RUSH'S OFFICE!
It's kind of like when you're doing it with a one nighter at his apartment and suddenly notice that this isn't the first time you've seen a watercolor of Karen Carpenter hanging against a blue wall. Yes, you've done him and this before. A case of deja whore. It's not a good feeling for a slut, because it's like repeating a question on a test.
Anythekingsmunch, (NSFW, the sequel) QueerClick has some amazing side-by-side comparisons of the gay den that production designer Eve Stewart chose to use as Lionel Logue's office. Even though everyone is telling me that The King's Speech almost matches the cinematic artistry of Showgirls, I still haven't seen it. But I will now, just so I can count the times Colin Firth subtlety moves his head to the side to pull a rogue pube out of his mouth.
In other news, John Travolta has just signed on for the sequel to The King's Speech!

Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio doesn't need Dr. Phil to point out what makes Jim Tressel tick. Just turn on a game tape to gain insight into Tressel's coaching soul.
Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio doesn't need Dr. Phil to point out what makes Jim Tressel tick. Just turn on a game tape to gain insight into Tressel's coaching soul.
And vice versa.
Despite having spent hours together in meeting rooms and on the practice field, the best way to understand how a former-colleague-turned-competitor will coach during a game is to study film.
"You watch a film, that's who a guy is," Tressel said.
Dantonio served as defensive coordinator under Tressel at Ohio State from 2001 to 2003. The two also worked together for five seasons at Youngstown State and for two seasons (1983 and '84) under Earle Bruce at OSU.
Tressel said that coaches seldom change their philosophy just because they're playing a familiar face. If a coach always calls a pass on third-and-short from inside the red zone, then it's a safe bet he's going to stick with that tendency no matter the opponent.
"Mark is not going to change his character, so everything we've watched in the past is who he is, unless he has been saving 19 things for this game, and I doubt that," Tressel said. "I've never been around anyone who has done that. So I don't know that (knowing Dantonio) will give us a bonus or a leg up, because he probably knows me better than I know me."
If there's an advantage, it's in favor of the assistant who departs for a head coaching job, because his knowledge of the program provides a level of comfort when preparing for the familiar opponent.
"We know many of their players, not just from being at Ohio State, but we knew them through the recruiting process as people," Dantonio said. "We have knowledge of the inner workings of the program. ... I think that helps us in terms of how their mental preparation will be for the game."
During the game, however, the supposed cat-and-mouse game between mentor and prot�g� seldom manifests itself.
Media members "overrate this game," Tressel said. "Sometimes they jump up and catch it. Sometimes they don't. One was a great play call, one was a bad call."
Former Southern California coach John Robinson agreed that coaches seldom try to outthink each other during games.
"You don't look across to the other sideline and think, 'Aha, he's not blitzing on third-and-five,' " Robinson said. "What you might do (during practice) is recall that when the guy worked with you he loved blitzing, so you might spend more time on the practice field getting ready for the blitz."
Friendly coaches might toss in a wrinkle or two to keep the other guy honest, but in stressful situations it's human nature to revert to form, Robinson said, adding that there's no time during games to project what move your old friend might try next.
"It's less personal than you might think," he said.
Unless the coaches don't get along, in which case ...
"Then beating him is really enjoyable," Robinson said, chuckling.
Tressel and Dantonio like each other, which makes today's game more difficult.
"Are these games more fun? No. It's a little easier when you don't know the other guy so well, because every week I'm rooting for Mark Dantonio, so you've got to change who you're rooting for this weekend," Tressel said.

DIPP notifies FDI relaxation in several sectors
The Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP) today notified easing of FDI rules for several sectors, including single-brand retail and construction.
On January 10, in big bang reforms ahead of the BJP government's last full Budget, the Union Cabinet had allowed 100 per cent foreign direct investment (FDI) in single-brand retail and construction development under the automatic route.Besides, foreign airlines were also allowed to buy up to 49 percent stake in Air India.
In its press note, the DIPP said allowing 100 per cent FDI in single-brand retail under the automatic route is aimed at attracting investments in production, marketing, improving the availability of products to consumers and encourage increased sourcing from India.
A foreign single-brand retailer would be permitted to set off its incremental sourcing of goods from India for global operations during initial five years, beginning April 1 of the year of the opening of the first store, against the mandatory sourcing requirement of 30 percent purchases from India, it said.Earlier also 100 per cent FDI was allowed in the segment, but it required government approval.
The DIPP also clarified that real estate broking service does not amount to real estate business thus addressing issues faced by such firms. It is, therefore, eligible for 100 per cent FDI under the automatic route.
The press note also said foreign investing companies registered as non-banking financial companies (NBFC) with the Reserve Bank, being overall regulated, would be under 100 percent automatic route. The DIPP also notified liberalisation of foreign investment in power exchanges, an online platform where electricity is traded.
Previously, the policy provided for 49 per cent FDI under automatic route in power exchanges. However, FII/FPI (foreign portfolio investors) purchases were restricted to secondary market only. Now, the restriction has been done away with, thereby allowing FIIs (foreign institutional investors/FPIs to invest in power exchanges through the primary market as well.

China has appointed new party chiefs for Xinjiang and Tibet, continuing a series of provincial personnel reshuffles as President Xi Jinping looks to put trusted aides in charge of the country's two most politically sensitive regions and to cement his power base ahead of a leadership transition next year.
Mr Chen Quanguo, 61, who helmed the Tibet autonomous region for five years from 2011, has replaced Politburo member Zhang Chunxian, 63, as Xinjiang party boss, Xinhua news agency reported yesterday.
Tibet's new party boss is Mr Wu Yingjie, 60, a Shandong native who has worked in Tibet since 1974 and became deputy party secretary in November 2011.
There were no details on Mr Zhang's next post. But Hong Kong media reported that he would be appointed deputy leader in a leading small group on party construction, which is said to be headed by propaganda chief Liu Yunshan.
Hong Kong-based analyst Joseph Cheng said though Mr Zhang appears to be getting a semi-retirement post, it does not mean his chances of entering the apex Politburo Standing Committee (PSC) at next year's 19th party congress have been dashed.
"It could be a signal Zhang Chunxian is being groomed to replace Liu Yunshan, who is reportedly Xi Jinping's rival in the PSC. We need to see if Zhang gets other substantial roles," Professor Cheng added.
XINJIANG: Former Tibet party boss Chen Quanguo, 61, takes over from Mr Zhang Chunxian, 63, whose next role could be as deputy leader of a leading small group on party construction.
TIBET: Deputy party boss Wu Yingjie, 59, replaces Mr Chen as top Communist Party official in the autonomous region.
YUNNAN: Governor Chen Hao, 62, is promoted to replace Mr Li Jiheng, 59, as party chief.
INNER MONGOLIA: Mr Li Jiheng now helms the autonomous region, replacing incumbent Wang Jun, 64.
HUNAN: Governor Du Jiahao, 61, replaces former party boss Xu Shousheng, 63, as party chief of the central province.
ANHUI: Governor Li Jinbin, 61, is now the new party boss of the central province, replacing former boss Wang Xuejun, 64.
Peking University political analyst Zhang Jian believes Mr Zhang's PSC chances might even be higher if he were to take on the new post.
"This is because party construction has become more important under Xi's leadership," he told The Straits Times. Lanzhou University's counter-terror expert Yang Shu said most people would appraise Mr Zhang's stint in Xinjiang positively, given the dip in violence after a flurry of attacks, such as the suicide car crash near Tiananmen Square in 2013.
"But we should also be aware that Xinjiang benefited from the central government's policy support and also the Silk Road revival efforts," he told The Straits Times.
Mr Chen's move marks the first direct transfer of a party boss from Tibet to Xinjiang, say observers.
Professor Yang said Mr Chen's Xinjiang appointment might be aimed at tapping his familiarity with ethnic minority and security issues during his Tibet tenure.
Prof Cheng said Mr Zhang's move and other provincial personnel changes announced since Sunday are also aimed at rewarding Mr Xi's supporters with plum posts and placing them in prime spots to take up leading roles later.
For instance, two of President Xi's former subordinates are now provincial party chiefs.
One of them is Mr Chen Hao, 62, promoted from Yunnan governor to party chief of the south-western province. The other is Mr Du Jiahao, 61, the new party boss of central Hunan province, replacing Mr Xu Shousheng, 63.
Both Mr Chen and Mr Du had worked briefly with Mr Xi in 2007, the same year that Mr Xi emerged as heir-apparent to then President Hu Jintao.
The spotlight now falls on a handful of provinces, which may also see leadership changes as their incumbent leaders are Politburo members who are either reaching retirement age or tipped to enter the next PSC.
Apart from Beijing party chief Guo Jinlong, 69, who is likely to retire, Mr Han Zheng, 62, Mr Hu Chunhua, 53, and Mr Sun Zhengcai, 52, who helm Shanghai, Guangdong and Chongqing respectively, are seen as PSC contenders.

White House posts president's birth certificate
After skeptics such as business mogul Donald Trump brought questions surrounding President Obama's birthplace back to the forefront ahead of next year's election, the White House on Wednesday morning released a certified copy of Mr. Obama's birth certificate showing he indeed was born in Hawaii.
The move comes several years after then-Sen. Obama's campaign posted on the Internet a copy of his official "certificate of live birth" in 2008 to quell theories that he was not born in the United States. While that document, the standard proof of birth in Hawaii, satisfied many observers, others, such as Mr. Trump, have called for the longer-form birth certificate to be released from the Hawaii State Department of Health...

There's Something Creepy About Andy From Toy Story That No One Noticed
We've seen Toy Story so many times and we can't believe this has been staring us in the face all this time.
The general consensus is that the Toy Story series is Pixar's crowning achievement in their long line of illustrious films. One of the great things about the production company is the tiny little nuggets of information they hide within their films.
Twenty two years since it's original release, we're still finding new things to pick at in Toy Story but this latest revelation just freaks the fuck out of us.
The creepy fact is to do with Woody and Buzz's owner, Andy. To most of us growing up, we wanted to be like him – he had all the Toys in the world and was the envy of his friends and his sadistic next door neighbour Sid. What we didn't know is that they all have the same face!
It's true, just take a look!
Here's Andy
Disney / Pixar
Now look at the guests at his birthday party
If you look closely, particularly at the kid with the yellow cap, they've got a similar template face to Andy.
But this next one has to be most shocking one. He bares a striking resemblance to toy torturer enthusiast, Sid.
Just slap a set of braces on Andy and hey-presto you get Sid!
So why do all the kids in the first Toy Story film lookalike?
We reckon part of it is to do with the fact that upon its original release in 1995 the concept of a CGI film was untested. Toy Story was really the benchmark for a fully realised CGI feature film, hence why by today's sophisticated standards it looks a bit dated.
Still a bloody great film though, if you haven't watched (tsk tsk) we suggest you buy a copy and watch it over the weekend.

New paper: Effective feature representation for clinical text concept extraction
__author__ = 'Chris Potts'
TL;DR We posted a new paper to arXiv, based on the work Yifeng Tau did with us during his summer internship. The paper motivates a novel deep learning architecture for combining dense feature representations derived from unlabeled text with sparse feature representations derived from medical ontologies. The paper shows that the architecture is effective for the kinds of small, complex datasets that are typical of NLP in healthcare.
How can we make the best use of small text datasets?
This question is always on our minds at Roam. Our NLP use-cases tend to be complex and specialized, which means that we have to call on our clinical annotation team to label new examples. The fewer examples they have to label, the more effective Roam can be.
There are many aspects to this problem, including creating efficient tools and workflows for the clinical annotation team, developing robust infrastructure for model optimization, and identifying model architectures that are especially well-suited to our datasets.
Our newest research paper, a Roam/Stanford/CMU collaboration, is devoted to this model architecture question:
Effective feature representation for clinical text concept extraction
Yifeng Tao, Bruno Godefroy, Guillaume Genthial, and Christopher Potts
This paper is the result of work Yifeng Tau (CMU) did during his 2018 summer internship at Roam, in collaboration with Bruno, Guillaume, and me.
The guiding hypothesis of the paper is that there is useful information in the sort of dense unsupervised word representations that can be learned from unlabeled text (we use ELMo) and in the sparse feature representations that can be easily be derived from the many publicly available medical ontologies out there.
Finding a model that can make good use of these very different kinds of information is a challenge. We propose a model that is a combination on a recurrent neural network and a conditional random fields (CRF) model, with some special additional representational layers designed to synthesize the two kinds of feature representation.
We show that this model yields superior performance on a number of very different sequence labeling datasets: two clinical datasets that Roam developed, a dataset of tweets about adverse drug reactions, a dataset of scientific abstracts, and a new dataset of drug–disease relationships that we developed and are releasing with the paper:
Drug–Disease Relationships Dataset
The paper also includes a number of analyses aimed at identifying how the model makes use of the dense and sparse features it contains. These analyses show clearly that the model learns to pay more attention to the most reliable features, where this notion of reliability depends on a number of factors, including text length and problem type.
The analyses also show that the combined model can get traction on very small categories. This is an especially welcome outcome, since the small categories in healthcare are often those that correspond to rare but vitally important events.

So let me start by saying that I was wholly against having a bridal shower. This was mostly because 85% of our wedding guests are coming from out of town, and our little weekend celebration could run a family of four over $2,500... That's cause enough for some serious wedding guilt. Add to that a second trip to Chicago just to give me presents, and it put me over the edge. I put my foot down and said, NO shower, period.
Wouldn't you know, shortly after I made my feelings crystal clear, I received an invitation to my out of town, family wedding shower... Those sneaky aunts of mine! Because my sister and I were the only ones who would be traveling, and because the presents would almost have to be small due to my needing to pack them in my suitcase, I felt much better about the situation...
I was banished to my bedroom on the morning of the shower, as they needed to "set up". (I didn't think there would be much to "set up"; I honestly thought that we would have the shower in the dining room and then open presents on my grandmother's beautiful back porch...) But, when I came downstairs and looked in the back yard, I WAS BLOWN AWAY! My wonderful aunts and sister had created the most beautiful, late-summer, Anthropology-inspired fête!
bridal shower...
