What does ISPA consider to be spam?
All unsolicited bulk email is spam with the following exceptions:
- Mail sent by one party to another where there is already a prior relationship between the two parties and subject matter of the message(s) concerns that relationship, is not spam.
- Mail sent by one party to another with the explicit consent of the receiving party, is not spam.
In essence, ISPA's position is that consumers should only receive bulk mail that they have requested and/or consented to receive and/or which they would expect to receive as a result of an existing relationship.
What is Spam?
Spam, or unsolicited bulk email, is the posting of emails to large volumes of addresses advertising a service or product. Unlike conventional junk mail where the sender pays the cost of postage, recipients of spam pay the transmission costs, either in the form of Internet access fees and/or data charges.
Spam is one of the most significant threats to the Internet, accounting for around 60% of all email traffic. Spam costs consumers and ISPs a lot of money in bandwidth charges. Despite the growing number of technological means for combating spam, the spammers somehow manage to stay one step ahead and the deluge shows little sign of abating.
Spammers get email addresses in a variety of methods:
- They can write a program which searches the web in spider-like fashion, following links to pages, and the links of those pages to other pages, to infinity. As part of this link following process the program will search for obvious email addresses such as email@example.com or HTML mailto: links. In a short space of time many thousands of email addresses can be harvested in this fashion.
- They can purchase an existing email address database from someone who runs a continuous spider program. Often selling for a few dollars and amounting to millions of email addresses, the purchase of such databases occurs not just by spammers but also more legitimate firms seeking new methods of advertising their product or service in a state of ignorance over spam.
- They can brute force an SMTP server, trying various common names for people and well known role accounts.
- Someone might willingly or unwittingly add your address to an opt-in mailing list for adverts.
One of the ways in which spammers check for valid addresses is by providing an apparently thoughtful "Click here to remove yourself from this list" with a URL pointing to a website. The user seeking to prevent further mail from the spammer clicks the link in a trusting fashion. However all they have done is verify that their email address is active, which results in additional spam being sent to them.
Another means is to insert a pixel image into the email which links to a web server. When you load the message in an HTML capable mail client, the mail client requests the pixel image from the configured web server. By accessing the image and downloading it, a line is added to the web server log file which can be used to verify an address which spam was sent to.
Why is spam bad?
Spam is bad because users are forced to pay to download content they did not ask to receive. In many cases users find themselves downloading more spam than legitimate email messages and this dilutes the value of Internet based communication. No-one wants to wade through spam to find legitimate content.
While ISPs have to bear the bulk of the cost for bandwidth overuse by spammers, this cost is often passed onto the consumer through increased Internet access fees or a degraded service level.
Users themselves are at their wits end, as the process of manually deleting spam is burdensome. Some email clients have special filters which allow for the recognition of spam based on existing messages marked as spam. In addition a number of software companies sell anti-spam software in addition to anti-virus software or content filtering systems.
Spammers generally do not pay much for the sending of spam. They exploit open mail servers to do their task for them. The spammer need only send one email message to an incorrectly configured mail server to reach thousands of email addresses, with the bulk of the transfer being handled by the mis-configured mail server. Recipients in turn need to pay access costs or telephone costs in order to receive content they did not ask for.

Word of mouth marketing is probably one of the most important forms of advertising a business can have because it builds loyalty, trust and it is effective. Whether a customer of yours refers a friend or family member to you, or someone leaves you a positive review online about their experience, these are endorsements that will ultimately result in an increase in revenue for your business.
Word of mouth marketing builds brand loyalty. If someone is referred to a business by a family or friend, they're statistically more likely to stay loyal to that brand, rather than one that they were advertised. A recent study shows that 18% of consumers that were recommended a product were more likely to remain loyal to that brand long term.
Generate Buzz
Word of mouth marketing will spark the conversation about your brand and help keep you top of mind. Whether someone leaves you a Yelp review, or engages with you in some way on social media, their friends are more than likely going to see it, and become interested in whatever message your business is trying to portray. Of course the conversation has to be positive for it to be effective, but you definitely want people to be talking about you.
How Word of Mouth Marketing Works
Word of mouth marketing is organic, but you can also prompt the conversation in a few different ways. One way would be asking your customers to leave an honest review about you online, which will help generate that online buzz that we previously discussed. Another way would be simply asking your customers about their experience, and sharing it via your brand's social media channels as a testimonial for endorsement purposes. At the end of the day, you can brag about your business all you want, but humanizing your brand is ultimately what will win your audience over.
Word of mouth marketing is an effective strategy and it is one of the main reasons that businesses succeed today. Want to learn more about marketing do's and don'ts? Click here. Want us to come up with an effective digital strategy to help your business succeed? Contact us.

Packaging solution providers are extending their efforts to meet consumer demands by undertaking key initiatives. With emerging industry trends such as the 'on-the-go', demand for packaged food products has risen predominantly. Moreover, with the need for protected packaging for medicines, nutraceuticals, and other pharmaceutical products to ensure extended shelf life and retain effectiveness is further likely to drive the demand for resistant and high-barrier packaging solutions. The PVDC coated films market is greatly benefitting from the increasing demand for flexible packaging solutions as they help retain the quality and freshness of products, especially food products.
Retailers are preferring effective packaging solutions that promote better protection for products and further boost the product's overall lifespan. The high-barrier feature of PVDC coated films has drawn the attention of packaging solution providers towards this offering. Amongst the various sectors that PVDC coated films find their application in, the pharmaceutical and food and beverage sectors are likely to create major demand for PVDC coated films. In the food and beverage sector, PVDC coated films are gaining popularity particularly for the packaging of meat and meat-related products as they require high barrier from oxygen and moisture.
Ultra-High Barrier Solutions Designed to Meet Future Needs
As the demand for high-barrier packaging solutions increases companies are introducing new and effective offerings that focus on superior oxygen and moisture barrier, which enables product protection. Pharmaceutical companies are in a quest for effective pharmaceutical packaging solutions. Aligning with this demand, the manufacturers of PVDC coated films are designing effective offerings tailored for the pharmaceutical sector.
- Klöckner Pentaplast Pharma & Medical Device Films Division, for instance, recently introduced an innovative ultra-high barrier solution with its new Pentapharm alfoil ET SG. The company's portfolio of pharmaceutical blister films is extended further with the introduction of these PVDC coated films. Emerging as a superior choice for a number of applications including veterinary, generics, OTC, ethical, and nutraceutical, these PVDC barrier films are a triplex structure designed with Super Glide finish that allows high line speed with low friction, improved product feeding, and a unique smooth surface.
- Various packaging solutions designed for the pharmaceutical sector are equipped with PVDC coated films. ProAmpac, a leader in global flexible packaging solutions showcased its products at PACK EXPO. Its ProActive Sustainability series committed to environmental stewardship was highlighted at the event. Amongst a plethora of products, the PRO-VUE Shield provides consumers with a clear view of package contents while offering superior oxygen barrier and outstanding sealing features made possible with PVDC coated films, FDA approved resins and EVOH sealants.
- Tekni-Films, a Tekni-Plex business recently launched a new super barrier-coated thermoformable film designed for the pharmaceutical blister packs. The SBC (super barrier-coated) 240 film is developed by applying the high-barrier variant of PVDC coating to a polyethylene film. These PVDC coated films are positioned as an improved-cost and performance alternative to the conventionally used cold-formed foil. Moreover, the oxygen and ultra-high moisture barrier properties of these films protect products that are susceptible to degradation.
Packaging solution providers are introducing new PVDC coated films with a focus on the pharmaceutical sector. More details pertaining to other significant developments witnessed in the PVDC coated films market could be availed by clicking here.

A wheelie bin won't really be suitable as compost needs air to circulate through it. Also would be very messy getting compost out as you generally take from the bottom and add to the top.
We got old pallets from a nearby industrial estate (most of these get thrown out once delivery is made). Get 4 of them and tie together with tie wraps. Put somewhere in your back garden thats not very visible and your away. Tie wraps handy as you need to open it to take composted soil out every now and then - very cheap and easy to put back together with new tie wraps then.
As for what can go in:
Grass cuttings,
non-woody garden prunings,
Vegetable peelings,
fruit peelings and cores,
tea leaves,
coffee grounds,
egg shells,
small amounts of paper and cardboard,
Sawdust and wood shavings,
Woodfire ash.
Basically don't put anything cooked in it or raw meat as you will attract rats.
Hope this helps.

Homemade compost heap
We have an area at the bottom of the garden between the oil tank and the boundary wall. My Hubby built a low wall to the front to contain the contents and to allow easy access. We use it for
Grass cuttings,
leaves & flowers,
Vegetable & fruit peelings,
tea leaves & coffee grounds,
raw egg shells & fire ash,
non-woody garden prunings. Any woody cuttings or prunings are put behind the oil tank and rot away in their own time.
Once a year, usually springtime, we take the top-half off the heap and add the most composted part as a top dressing to the flowerbeds and around the base of the trees in the garden. We also use it in a couple of old children's sand pits to grow some potatoes, vegetables & herbs for our own use. The children love this activity and enjoy to tending the veg pits themselves. Its fantastic to see our little one's running in to tell us another seedling has broken through the clay. Well worth the effort. We have had no problem with rats although we have a dog in the garden so maybe she helps here but we haven't seen any evidence!

I know you can put egg cartons(the cardboardy type) also small amount of newspapers in as well. Composting bins are usually available at a lower cost from your local county council.

You can add the cardboard egg cartons but instead why not get a couple of chucks and use the containers to store your own free range eggs?
The cardboard centres of toilet rolls are a worthwhile addition as they provide for circulation too.
It's important to layer the contents i.e. green waste (veg peelings, cuttings etc) followed by a layer of brown waste (shredded paper, cardboard etc).
I use two 'pallet bins' side by side as it takes a while for the matter to compost but when it does you should have a crumbly soil like material.
Try to avoid putting weeds in.
Good Luck

you can use the bin
check it out, my mother did it years ago, as advised just elevate the bin and puncture holes in bottom as well as sides.
for list of what can be composted which is what you put in your brown bin if you have one, anything that decomposes itself basically
in general it can take up to two years for compost to turn to fretilizer for you to use on flowers, etc. but you can scatter ashes mixed with potato peelings for example directly onto the ground where any bushes, flowers grow from
it translates as food to worms etc. as old and rotten fruit would and where there are worms you have healthy soil, etc.
good luck with it

Keep your wheelie bin as a waterbutt.put a tap fitting on the bottom of it and put blocks under it so your watering can will fit undre it.Secure the lid with screws or similar to prevent any tragedies.

If using a wheelie bin you could tie old carpeting or such like around the bin in winter to contain the heat and which helps speed up the break down of the matter in the bin.

to make a wormery, take something like a plastic dustbin, drill holes in the bottom about 10 should do it.
Put a good dollop of manure in and make sure it has some of those nice red worms in, put soil on top about one spade full and leave with lid on for about a week, then start putting kitchen scraps in, including cooked food, occationally putting spadefulls of soil in. If it gets wet looking and the worms climb up the sides put in wripped up newspaper, egg cartons etc if too dry add some water. Leave in winter as the worms go into the centre to keep warm and hibernate.
Make sure to have food available for them at all times - kitchen scraps that is.
Keep beside your compost bin.

Garden Composter
Compost is the single most important supplement you can give your garden. Its a simple way to add nutrient-rich humus to your lawn or garden that fuels plant growth and restores vitality to depleted soil. It's also free, easy to make, and good for the environment. But composting also has other benefits.

F. Lin, F. An, Q. Li, Z. Tu, H. Bu, C.-C. Chan, R. R. Caspi; DAF Protects Against T Cell Autoreactivity That Leads to Experimental Autoimmune Uveitis. Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci. 2009;50(13):824.
Download citation file:
© ARVO (1962-2015); The Authors (2016-present)
Purpose: :
To investigate the role of decay accelerating factor (DAF), a cell surface complement regulator that recently has been linked to T cell responses and autoimmunity in the pathogenesis of experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU).
Methods: :
We evaluated retinal injury, IRBP specific T cell responses and cytokine expression profiles in mice deficient in Daf1, the mouse homologue of human DAF and in WT mice treated with recombinant soluble mouse DAF protein. To compare disease severity in WT and Daf1-/- mice, we induced EAU in 16 mice of each group by immunizing each mouse with 100 µg of IRBP1-20 emulsified in CFA supplemented with 2.5 mg/ml M tuberculosis strain H37RA extract s.c. together with 1.5 µg pertussis toxin i.p. Twenty one days later, we enucleated eyes for histopathological assessments and collected splenocytes for Th1/Th17 response assays and cytokine antibody array assays. To compare disease severity and T cell responses in WT mice with and without soluble DAF protein treatment, we induced EAU in 10 disease susceptible B10.RIII mice by immunizing 5 µg of IRBP161-180 in CFA s.c. and treated 5 mice with 0.5 mg soluble DAF protein i.p. every other day and other 5 with equal volume of PBS. We compared retinal histology and IRBP specific T cell responses in 14 days as done above.
Results: :
We found that both EAU incidence (Daf1-/- 87.5% vs WT 50%) and histopathology scores (Daf1-/- 1.86±1.08 vs WT 0.73±0.56) were significantly greater in Daf1-/- mice. There were >10 fold greater mononuclear cell influx into the retina together with severe vasculitic lesions, retinal folding and photoreceptor cell layer destruction. IFN- and IL-17 ELISPOT assays showed that spleens from Daf1-/- mice contained 5-7 fold more IFN-γ producing and 3-4 fold more IL-17 producing T cells than spleens from WTs. Cytokine array assays showed that splenocytes from Daf1-/- mice with EAU express elevated levels of GM-CSF, IL-2, IL-3 and IFN-γ. Consistent with these results, WT B10.RIII mice that received soluble DAF protein treatments exhibited decreased IRBP specific Th1/Th17 responses and were protected from retinal injury compared to mice received PBS treatments.
Conclusions: :
DAF significantly influences IRBP specific Th1 and Th17 responses and disease severity in EAU. Systemic upregulation of DAF levels could be used to suppress retinal antigen(s) specific autoimmunity to treat autoimmune posterior uveitis.

Carlsberg UK's 2017 Sustainability Report shows good progress towards Carlsberg Group's new sustainability programme, Together Towards ZERO.
Headline results include a 64% reduction in Lost-time Accidents (LTAs) and a 2.1% reduction in water usage since 2015.
Launched in June 2017, Together Towards ZERO calls for strong action in the face of complex sustainability challenges such as climate change, access to water resources and public health challenges. It consists of four major ambitions – ZERO carbon footprint, ZERO water waste, ZERO irresponsible drinking and a ZERO accidents culture – each with individual targets for 2022 and 2030 respectively.
Highlights from the 2017 UK Sustainability Report include:
ZERO carbon footprint
ZERO water waste
ZERO irresponsible drinking
ZERO accidents culture
Together Towards ZERO was developed in partnership with leading global experts, using a science-based approach. Aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and with the Paris Agreement's more ambitious goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
This year's report provides full details on the progress Carlsberg UK has made over the last year, and against its 2015 baseline.

Ririchiyo goes out shopping for a couple more things she need for her new home. Sorinozuka Renshou and Soushi accompany her and Ririchiyo thinks about how she wants to give something back to Soushi.
This was pretty hilarious and enjoyable (compared to last week's) episode, but undoubtedly incredibly plain.
Not everyone is going to enjoy this. I figure that those who don't have the patience to wait and see what happens in three episodes are probably going to drop it in the middle or after they finished watching this episode. If I hadn't read the manga, well I can almost guarantee that I wouldn't have been found covering this.
I was laughing quite a bit, and the BGM didn't throw things off this time- but my god! You have no idea how many times I kept on thinking- actually I bet most of you were thinking the same thing: "Soushi STFU already!" It's seriously annoying- and I thought that Koshiro from Yumeiro Pâtissière was annoying to listen to. The minute he opens his mouth, it's like- I don't know how to explain it, but it's brutal!!! The seiyuu is fine, there's no problem with the guy, it's how much he talks in such short amount of time!
I really hope that some point in the future Soushi will SHUT UP or at least just stop praising her every two seconds. He's really like a dog, except one hell of vocal one. If this drags on too long, without a doubt this is going to turn people away and stop watching it altogether- OR, they'll click mute every time Soushi opens his mouth.
… Well at least there's plenty of room for character development…
Ririchiyo revealed her true form as a yokai and my god she's adorable! When she got stuck, I was rolling my eyes about how she's aware of that she's not in any sort of danger, and not freaking out one little bit, while Soushi on the otherhand was like, "GRRRR MUST GET HER OUT!" Seriously he's so overdramatic!!!!! Soushi, get a grip on yourself!!!
This episode, Ririchiyo explained to us one of the crucial reasons she's awed and grateful for how Soushi is treating her. He is solely dedicated to only her- not because someone else told him to or to appeal to her family.
Overall this episode probably was a turn off and boring for most people.
I'm actually surprised that this has already been licensed here in North America by Sentai Filmworks, (I MEAN, HELLO, WHY HASN'T ANYONE LICENSED CHIHAYFURU YET?!?!). I would say give this another two episodes before determining whether you really want to bother watching this. There's plot in this story, but… I don't know whether it's confirmed that this is going to have twelve episodes (I'm getting this from ANN), but it does worry me about how things are going to turn out. They better get the plot kicking next episode because unless they are going to make a continuation/second season or magically make this 22-25 episodes, this adaption won't be close to decent at all.
Finally, I have to mention about the ED sequence. It just plain weird. *FACEPALM* I mean really? It makes Soushi look like a pedo. They went over the top with that, and I swear I was actually half disgusted about it.
There's an extra clip at the end of Ririchiyo texting Soushi.
It was cute how she was trying to text.

And I make money when others like you choose to join me. You can do the same.
I make more from my law practice than health, so why do health? Because 1. it works; and 2. the health business brings residual income, which all of us need, especially if you're self-employed.

DELTA (August 8, 2018) – It's an attack on local decision-making and agricultural expertise.
That from BC Liberal Agriculture Critic Ian Paton, after NDP Agriculture Minister Lana Popham released the interim report of the committee reviewing the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) and Agricultural Land Committee (ALC).
In that report, the committee recommends eliminating the ALC's six regional panels. Paton says that means the knowledge of local farmers and ranchers won't be considered when it comes to making decisions on the use of agricultural land.
"Currently these panel members actually live in the regions where they are appointed, and have the appropriate agricultural expertise to make decisions on applications from that region," says Paton, MLA for Delta South. "Doing away with these panels would undermine local decision-making and knowledge of the land. It could mean that a commissioner on the Lower Mainland ends up making decisions for the rest of the province without knowing the unique conditions and circumstances of each region."
Paton notes the former BC Liberal government instituted those regional panels as part of a series of reforms that relieved a massive backlog of applications. "A move back to one provincial panel will create nothing but uncertainty and more red tape for agricultural landowners," says Paton.
Meanwhile the report also recommends the removal of zone 2 from the ALR, which will diminish landowners' flexibility to live off the land.
Furthermore, Paton notes the interim report creates a climate of uncertainty for the entire natural resource sector in British Columbia as it seeks to put up more roadblocks to economic development.

Want to spend more time bonding with your daughter? Here are a few date ideas you can try this weekend!
- Have a picnic
Take a slightly longer drive out to the East Coast Park or Botanic Gardens for a special day with your daughter, girls like the outdoors more than you think! You can also take a bike ride or play the frisbee when you're done with the food.
- Museum visit
Museums often have exhibitions that are fun and interactive for daughters, and usually offer free entry! Check out what exhibitions are ongoing at the national museums, explore something new at the art museums or take her down memory lane at the MINT Museum of Toys!
- Ice-cream date
Can they ever say no? Sometimes, girls are shy and sensitive to share about how they are feeling lately, but there's no stopping what they can talk about once they have ice cream (or froyo) down their tummies!
- Go on a hike
Not every girl likes to stay at home and play with their dollhouses, most girls like to get active once in a while too! The perfect dad and daughter bonding activity, talk about everything under the sun while actively challenging yourselves!
- Jump around at a trampoline park
Jumping around just gets the adrenaline pumping, your little girl will appreciate you taking her out to try something fun and different! Check out more indoor play options here.
- Go to a concert
Have fun and bop your heads to some good music together! What better way is there to build a stronger bond than by sharing an awesome concert experience!
- Have breakfast together
With everyone so busy all the time, sometimes it's even hard to see each other at breakfast. Go out on a Sunday for a hearty meal and share some laughs together.
- Build something
Spending some time together to fix up that new Ikea cupboard can be both therapeutic and slightly challenging for daughters. It's a great way to impart those handy life skills to them!
- Movie date
It's always nice to be taken out to a movie, especially if dads remember what kind of movies their daughters like best. Order some popcorn and have a relaxed day together!
- Cook together
Although it may be quite the task preparing dinner without your wife, try your hand at cooking with your daughter and see how it will put a smile on your wife's face no matter the outcome. Plus, it's always fun to get messy in the kitchen!

Niagara Falls has always been a famous tourist spot but recently there has been a major decline in the number of tourist in the region which started a wave number of new projects. One of the most attractive of these projects is the C$1 billion Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort which is the largest privately-financed commercial project in Canada. The Fallsview opened in June 2004 and belongs to the Falls Management Co. which is a consortium of United States and Canadian entities which includes the Pritzker family.
The L-shaped complex is situated in the Canadian side of the Niagara Falls and it is between the Horseshoe and the American side of Niagara Falls. The resort is a 20-minute walk from the Falls which provides an opportunity to the guest to visit the Falls whenever they want to. The Fallsview is built on a 23-acre land and provides a view of one of the World's most sought location.
It is located between Toronto and Buffalo and it is near the Rainbow Bridge which connects Ontario with the New York City. Since it's a 30-minute from Buffalo Niagara International Airport and one hour from Toronto (Pike), it can attract more tourists who are coming from United States to Niagara.
Fallsview contains everything that a person on a vacation would want to enjoy. The property has a 200,000-square-foot casino which has a poker room and also a gaming zone. Moreover, it contains 10 top-class restaurants, clubs, a 34-storey, 374-room hotel, 50,000-square-foot convention center, performing arts center, an expensive shopping mall, and a luxurious 15,000-square- foot spa and health club.
Unlike in other hotels, the guests do not have to leave their room to enjoy nature; they can just draw their curtains of either side of the room and enjoy the view of Niagara Falls on one side and Horseshoe on the other. The rooms are decorated in a Belle Époque style and have an oversized high-back wing chairs, large headboards and kidney-shaped writing tables which can even be used for dining. (Tricia A. Holly) The hotel ensures that the guests do not stay out-of-touch from the rest of the world while on vacation and therefore provide a high-speed Internet access in every room.
Apart from the regular rooms, the hotel also has 85 suites out of which 9 have a VIP designation. The VIP-designated suites for the high-rollers have a 19th century theme, for example, The Trophy Room Suite contains paintings of animals whereas The Monkey Suite contains pictures of monkeys which were famous during that period. (Tricia A. Holly) Their most famous suites are the Queenston Suite which is on the 30th floor and the Prime Minister Suite which is on the 29th floor. Both these suites are 1,340-square-foot bungalow rooms that run across the center of the property and provide views of both falls. (Pike) These suites cost around C$ 800 during the weekdays but during the weekend, they can be reserved at a cheaper amount.
The Fallsview has kept the health and fitness of its visitors in great regard and therefore it contains a 15,000-square-foot spa. It contains a health club, pool, sauna, steam room, whirlpool, aerobic and weight training rooms and also a full-selection of spa treatments. (Tricia A. Holly) Moreover, it also contains an indoor pool on the roof for the swimming lovers.
Meeting Rooms:
To attract more customers, they have not only catered to the needs of the tourist but also those people who would want to conduct exhibitions and meetings in a calm place which allows people to relax and meet the nature after a long meeting. It contains 50,000-square-foot of meeting and convention space which makes it the largest meeting facility in the region. It also includes a 30,000-square-foot exhibition hall that can be divided into five sections. So when the next time people are thinking of conducting an exhibition, they can consider this place.
Gaming Floor:
The 200,000-square-foot gaming zone has been divided into 9 regions and this zone also reflects the 19th century theme because it emphasizes on the golden age of travel during that era. Each of the 9 areas have their own neighborhood which has a network of streets that have cocktail bars, buffet and high-stakes zone. (Tricia A. Holly)
When tourists visit a place for vacation, they have to leave their hotel to shop for family and friends but this is not the case in Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort. The resort contains 125,000-square-foot galleria which is divided in three levels and it contains 47 retail shops that are of a boutique style which have jewelry, toys, clothes, arts and craft to name a few, restaurants and 9-level 3000 car-parking garage.
Going to a vacation means eating good food and this has been very well kept in mind in Fallsview. The place contains four 2,500-3,000-square-foot restaurants in the galleria and each of them can accommodate 200 people. There is also a seating area, Café Court, that is common to these four giant restaurants and it provides the view of the Niagara Falls so you can enjoy your food and nature simultaneously. The four restaurants have their own unique selling point, for example, The Famous provides foods 24-hours a day, The Art of Food which provides food of the Niagara region, Crazy Sushi which provides Asian food and Pazzo Matto which is an Italian restaurant. There is also a Great Buffet which is outside the Galleria and can seat 750 people.
Casino is the main attraction of the Fallsview and it is designed on a 200,000-square-foot land and has 150 gaming tables, 3,000 slot machines and 9 poker tables which make it the largest gaming facility in Canada. There are also private gaming rooms called the Salon Prive for the high-rollers where table games can be played for up to C$15,000 per hand. The casino has a poker room and a large gaming room.
They also provide a wide range of tour programs which include the Niagara Falls by day and night, and a VIP package which includes a complete tour of the Falls, a trip on the Maid of the Mist and also a visit to the Butterfly Conservatory. Other options include visit to Niagara Falls and Niagara-on-the-Lake or a visit to Port Dalhousie and Show Boat Tour of Lake Ontario with a two hour live theatre at Port Mansion. (Tricia A. Holly)
Wedding Chapel:
Niagara Falls has always been a favorite honeymoon spot for the newly-married couples and to keep up with this picture of the place, the resort opened a wedding chapel in February 2006 where on the opening day more than 260 couples got married.
Customer Service:
It is the third full casino in the market and faces tough competition from Seneca Niagara on the U.S side of the border and another Seneca Niagara casino in Buffalo. However, it is still the one with the most amenities and the best design.
When the casino was started, the expectations were that there will be a high number of American customers however, only 30 percent of their customers are Americans and therefore, they try their best to gain market share by getting more customers from Canada where they face competition from Woodbine, Casino Rama and Mohawk. To gain more American customers, they also ran an advertising campaign.
Moreover, since the number of rooms in their hotel is very small, they have to rely a lot of the day trippers. Therefore, their customers are not only high-rollers but also the gaming profiled people.
To win a customer, Larry L. Lewin, the president of Niagara Casinos thinks that it is not enough to have the right mix of games, customer service is also very important and therefore, throughout the Fallsview, customer's comfort and service to them is emphasized.
The Players Advantage Club, reward program for all their customers, which has two million subscribers and is used to send new offer data to customers. Initially, direct mail system was used to contact them, but now they have switched to e-mail. They feared that as they grow bigger, they will have lesser contact with their customer so to prevent this they have a very strong Customer Relationship Management Software which helps them to send right information to the right customer.
The resort has not only boosted the tourism industry by providing yet another reason to visit the Niagara Falls but also helped to create 2,500 new jobs. Since the opening of the Fallsview, the number of visitors to the region has risen by 14 percent. Lewin feels that the Niagara Falls will have the same impact as The Mirage did in Las Vegas. According to him, "…it's a lot of Las Vegas in a place outside Las Vegas …" (McQueen)
The multi-dimension resort which is not just a family resort anymore but also an attractive place for gaming-profile customers has a lofty price tag, but it is worth the experience.

Oglala Tribal Member Sentenced for Involuntary Manslaughter
POCATELLO – Ruben Wounded Head, III, 20, of Chubbuck, Idaho, was sentenced today to a total of 46 months imprisonment for involuntary manslaughter resulting from a drunk driving crash, Acting U.S. Attorney Rafael Gonzalez, announced. Wounded Head will serve 34 months in federal prison in addition to the 12 months he already served in Fort Hall Tribal Jail on the same charge, for a total of 46 months. Wounded Head pleaded guilty to the charges in federal court in May 2017.
According to the plea agreement, on November 13, 2015, Wounded Head drove with friends to buy alcohol, and his friends left the store with two bottles of Bacardi rum and went to an area on the Fort Hall reservation known as Ferry Butte. There, Wounded Head drank one bottle of rum. Wounded Head then drove his friends back to a residence on the reservation and then proceeded to drive home. At approximately 2:50 a.m., at the intersection of Hawthorne Road and Cemetery Road, Wounded Head's 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche crossed the centerline and crashed head-on into a Chevrolet Tahoe, killing both occupants of the Tahoe. Wounded Head's Avalanche was traveling between 59 and 61 miles per hour at the time of crash. The posted speed limit in the area is 45 miles per hour. Wounded Head's blood alcohol level at the hospital was 0.216 percent, far in excess of the legal limit.
Chief U.S. District Judge B. Lynn Winmill also ordered Wounded Head to pay $13,480 in restitution to the victims' families and ordered that Wounded Head be on supervised release for three years following his prison sentence.
The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Fort Hall Tribal Police.

Surviving and thriving in year three as a chief data officer
As the chief data officer (or chief analytics officer) of your company, you manage a team, oversee a budget and a hold a mandate to set priorities and lead organizational change.
The bad news is that everything that could possibly go wrong from a security, governance and risk perspective is your responsibility. If you do a perfect job, then no one on the management team ever hears your name.
The average tenure of a CDO or CAO is about 2.5 years. In our conversations with data and analytics executives, we find that CDOs and CAOs often fall short of expectations because they fail to add sufficient value in an acceptable time frame. If you are a CDO looking to survive beyond year three, we recommend avoiding three common traps.
1) The Trap of Data Defense
Data and analytics projects can be classified as either defense or offense (in the immortal words of Tom Davenport). Data defense seeks to resolve issues, improve efficiency or mitigate risks. Data quality, security, privacy, governance, compliance – these are all critically important endeavors, but they are often viewed as tactical, not strategic. The only time that data defense is discussed at the C level is when something goes wrong.
Data offense expands top line revenue, builds the brand, grows the company and in general puts points on the board. Using data analytics to help marketing and sales is data offense. Companies may acknowledge the importance of defense, but they care passionately about offense and focus on it daily.
The challenge for a CDO or CAO is that data defense is hard. A company's shortcomings in governance, security, privacy, or compliance may be glaringly obvious. In some cases, new regulations like GDPR scream for attention. Data defense has a way of consuming more than its fair share of the attention and staff. If not put in perspective, data defense is a trap that can divert the CDO's attention and resources away from activities in the data offense domain that create value for the organization.
2) The Trap of Deferred Value
Projects that implement new platforms and solutions can require months, if not years, of integration and oversight. If conceived as a waterfall project, with a big-bang deliverable at the end, these projects produce little to no value until they are complete. We call this the trap of deferred value, and it is possibly the main reason that many CDOs never make it past year three of their tenure.
Forget the perfect governance solution that is 18 months away. In a fast-paced, competitive environment, an 18-month integration project can seem like the remote future. Also, success is uncertain until you reach the end.
Your C-level peers know that big software integration projects fail half the time. Projects often turn out to be more complex than anticipated and they often miss the mark.
For example, you may have thought you needed ten new capabilities, but your internal customers only really need seven and two of them were not on your original list. The issue is that you won't know which seven features are critical until around the time of your second annual performance review and by then it might be too late to right the ship.
3) The Trap of Data Valuation
Industry analysts and the media have long touted the strategic value of data. Following the advice of analysts, a CDO may decide to embark on a project to quantify the monetary value of your data. This seems like a worthy endeavor that should attain a high level of visibility.
A data valuation project can take months of effort and consumes the attention of the CDO and her staff on what is essentially an internally-focused, intellectual exercise. In the end, you have a nice PowerPoint presentation with detailed spreadsheets to back it up. Your data has tremendous value that can and should be carried on the balance sheet. You tell everyone all about it – why don't they care?
Don't confuse data valuation with data offense. Knowing the theoretical value of data is not data offense. While data valuation may be useful and important in certain cases, it is often a distraction. All of the time and resources devoted to creating and populating the valuation model could have been spent on higher value-add activities.
Add Value Next Week Not Next Year
What is truly important for a CDO is to add value immediately. He or she can do this by shifting more focus to data offense and using Agile development to add value iteratively. Deliver something of value to the sales and marketing team next week not next year. Build on that value incrementally.
Pointing to specific instances in which the data and analytics teams helped sales grow the business is a very powerful message. It helps establish the business critical value of data in a concrete way.
The CDO likely does not understand the market as well as the sales and marketing teams, but he or she can apply data to their questions and initiatives. The trick is to reorganize the data and analytics teams to be responsive and adaptable to the needs of internal customers and users. DataOps can help here. DataOps subscribes to an Agile, iterative approach.
Deliver something of value in a few weeks and build on that. Stay close to users who contribute to revenue growth (offense). Solicit and implement feedback. Let growth oriented user stories set priorities.
DataOps combines Agile with DevOps and lean manufacturing methods to provide a data and analytics team with the processes and tools needed to execute data offense with speed, confidence and quality.
The CDO who delivers present value is far more valuable than one who promises theoretical value in the future. DataOps enables the CDO to pursue a relentless focus on adding value quickly, avoiding the pitfalls of data defense, deferred value and data valuation. Raise a glass to year three!

Oakland, Berkeley, And East Bay News, Events, Restaurants, Music, & Arts
Frankie Manning doesn't kick up his heels quite as high as he did in Harlem's Savoy Ballroom back in the '30s, but he still lives and breathes the original swing dance he helped popularize around the world: the Lindy Hop. The 89-year-old dancer and choreographer brings his memories and historical film clips to re-create the heyday of swing dancing in a free presentation Friday at 7:30 p.m. at Berkeley's Ashkenaz Music and Dance Community Center, followed at 9:30 by one of the Bay's leaders in current East Coast Swing, Lavay Smith & Her Red Hot Skillet Lickers. The live band dance costs $13, and is also a CD release party for Smith's alto saxophonist Bill Stewart's new album, Blues, Ballads & Bebop. Far from retiring, Manning , hailed as the Ambassador of Lindy Hop, continues to collect honors and awards, including the Tony Award for Choreography in 1989 for Black & Blue, and the prestigious National Heritage Fellowship in 2000. He has been featured in movies and documentaries such as PBS-TV's Ken Burns' Jazz, and magazines, including an interview piece in the December 1998 issue of GQ.
While big-band swing music lives on in countless CD reissues, and East Coast swing went through a wild revival in the '80s and '90s, being able to see footage of the dancing in its heyday is a rarity, especially when hosted by one of its creators. Born in the Harlem Renaissance of the late '20s, before swing (as played by the big bands from Ellington to Goodman) became America's popular music, the Lindy Hop was the original swing dance form. Both East Coast swing (Jitterbug) and West Coast swing have their roots in Lindy Hop. Manning took the dance from Harlem's Savoy Ballroom across three continents while touring with Whitey's Lindy Hoppers in the '30s and '40s, and again in swing's '80s revival. The music, then and now, was meant for audience participation, not passive listening.
His Ashkenaz date is part of the 2004 Frankie Manning Weekend organized by the Northern California Lindy Society that continues with all-day dance classes and workshops under his direction on Saturday and Sunday at Oakland's Lake Merritt Dance Center (200 Grand Ave.), as well as Saturday night's second annual Shiny Stockings Swing Ball dance, featuring singer Mary Stallings. For information on Friday's concert (1317 San Pablo Ave.), visit Ashkenaz.com or call 510-525-5054. For details of the Saturday-Sunday events and ball, visit the Northern California Lindy Society's Web site at NCLS.com -- Larry Kelp
Space out at the Stork
If Tuesday seems like a fine night to get spacey, saucy, and stoned, then the Stork Club (2330 Telegraph Ave., Oakland) is the place for you. That's the night that Sacramento's Low Flying Owls swoop in, a swoop so low and luscious, in fact, it's more of a swagger. The band trafficks in hazy heaviosity, á la Spiritualized, T. Rex, and the Jesus and Mary Chain, and tonight it opens for the Bay Area's own chamber-punk trio Bonfire Madigan, whose new live disc will be available at the show. $5 cover, 9:30 p.m. (or so), 21 and up. Info: 510-444-6174. -- Stefanie Kalem
Touch of Green
Since 1991, there have been at least forty Grateful Dead-related tribute albums released, spanning styles from reggae to swing and back again. Perhaps the most comfortable fit would be the two albums by the Bay Area's own Wake the Dead , a septet that respectfully blends the music of Ireland with that of Jerry Garcia's Original White Phish. While fans of traditional Celtic music may squawk in fear, it should be no surprise to Deadheads that "Jack the Lad" makes a decent reel, and many more make hella fine jigs. Wake the Dead plays the Oakland Metro at 9 p.m. 21 and up, $15 cover. Info: 510-763-1146. -- Stefanie Kalem
Merlot 'n' Warhol
When sussing out modern art, sometimes a little wine comes in handy. That's the thinking behind Bedford Gallery's Art and Wine parties. This evening (5:30 to 7 p.m.), Carin Kuoni of Independent Curators International in New York City, co-curator of current exhibition "Thin Skin," will discuss the show and conduct a walk-through focusing on specific works -- such as Andy Warhol's floating silver Mylar pillows. Wine and hors d'oeuvres will be served. The "Art and Wine" evening is free with admission to the "Thin Skin" exhibition: $3 general. The show continues through February 15. Bedford Gallery is in Dean Lesher Regional Center for the Arts, 1601 Civic Dr., Walnut Creek. Info: 925-295-1417 or BedfordGallery.org -- Kelly Vance

Can't wait to do this show, I'll be on with host Anna Chen, music guru Charles Shaar Murray, and 60s countercultural hero John Sinclair.
Breaking a Butterfly on a Wheel: Modern Heroes
Guests: John Sinclair and Oliver Shykles. With Charles Shaar Murray.
What happens when the state gets nasty? A new breed of modern hero is emerging, casting light on what our "democratic" governments get up to: Chelsea Manning, Edward Snowden, David Miranda.
John Sinclair, now a grand old man of the counterculture, was an early victim of the US government and who subsequently became a cause célèbre. He was a militantly politicised hippy, the manager of the MC5 and a founder of the White Panther Party.
In 1969, he felt the full spite of the state when he was sentenced to 10 years for supplying 2 joints to an undercover narc. Only widespread protest — including John Lennon writing and recording a song, "John Sinclair" — got him an early release.
On Tuesday, John Sinclair is in the studio alongside Oliver Shykles from Queer Friends of Chelsea Manning, who'll be talking about Manning, Edward Snowden and why we should be wary of governments siezing extra powers.
With tips from Oliver Shykles on how to stay private.
Breaking a butterfly on a wheel — 5.30pm TUESDAY 26TH NOVEMBER
Listen live or later.

Brexfactor: Negotiate? Just tear it down
PUBLISHED: 11:39 07 July 2017
PA Wire/PA Images
We rank 6 of the losers, fiends and bonkers Brexiteers of another crazy seven days on Planet Brexit
Become a Supporter
Almost four years after its creation The New European goes from strength to strength across print and online, offering a pro-European perspective on Brexit and reporting on the political response to the coronavirus outbreak, climate change and international politics. But we can only continue to grow with your support.
6. Peter Whittle
The front runner to land the coveted title of UKIP leader (after successfully leading Chelsea to Premier League glory, previous leader Paul Nuttall is understood to be joining Barcelona), Whittle could yet change his mind. It has become something of a trend for UKIP. Remember Diane James? She stood down after 18 days. And Whittle himself threw his tweed hat into the ring to succeed her, only to grab it back after having second thoughts. This time though Whittle has an ace card up his sleeve that could well propel him to victory – recognition. One party insider summed up the leadership race as such this week: "Whittle is a massive favourite at the moment because he's the only [candidate] people know." If you say so...
5. Dominic Cummings
As Michael Gove's chief of staff he wrote a now notorious essay titled "Some thoughts on education and political priorities" which was described by the Guardian's Patrick Wintour as "either mad, bad or brilliant – and probably a bit of all three". As one of the masterminds behind the big red bus of lies, Cummings played a huge role in the mess we are in. All the more galling then that in a late-night Twitter exchange he has now called the referendum a "dumb idea" and admitted leaving the EU may be "an error". Unlike the slogan on that bus, this time he is not telling fibs.
4. Nigel Farage
The uber lord of Planet Brexit is not going to run for leader of UKIP. Phew. He will remain as leader of the group in the European Parliament though where he takes pride in annoying proper politicians like European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker who this week had something of a meltdown after a particularly poorly attended debate. Farage said "I was stuck in Amsterdam, I was supposed to be in that debate ... He was really upset not to see me and that's why he lost his rag". What were you smoking in Amsterdam Nigel? Juncker might be annoyed over Brexit – but he won't be sad to see the back of you.
3. Jeremy Corbyn
A Brex Factor debut for the saviour of the left, "ohhhhhhh Jeremy Corbyn", but perhaps not a plaudit his burgeoning fanbase – fresh from that Glastonbury singalong – will welcome. Labour's position on Brexit has long been a fudge. But no more. Comrades Andy Slaughter, Ruth Cadbury and Catherine West were all sacked from the front bench for backing a Chuka Umunna amendment calling for Britain to remain in the customs union and single market. This is unlikely to go down too well with his festival-loving fans – a poll last year showed 83% backed remaining in the EU.
2. Anne Marie Waters
This leadership hopeful won't do much to help improve UKIP's reputation on race relations if elected its leader. In fact she makes your average Brexiteer look positively Lib Dem. This week there were reports that an army of fans were infiltrating the party to secure her election. She has described Islam as "evil" and has been endorsed by lovely little Tommy Robinson. She does however share something in common with members of UKIP's top brass (see Peter Whittle) – she has wild changes of heart. Only four years ago she stood for selection as the Labour candidate for South Swindon.
1. Steve Baker
The newest member of the Brexit department, tasked with the delicate role of negotiating our European departure on the most advantageous terms possible, has hardly hidden his euroscepticism. But even he might have cringed at the emergence of footage of him, in 2010, at a meeting of the Libertarian Alliance where he declared to a cheering crowd the EU should be "torn down" and was an "obstacle" to world peace. This is the same EU that was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2012 for "the advancement of peace and reconciliation, democracy and human rights", where there has been no wars between current members since 1945 and even Boris Johnson agrees was "born of the highest motives".

The Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack rises to No. 1 on the Billboard 200, becoming the second chart-topping soundtrack of 2014. The blockbuster film's set, subtitled Awesome Mix Vol. 1, sold 109,000 copies in the week ending Aug. 10 (up 83 percent), according to Nielsen SoundScan. It debuted a week ago at No. 3 with 60,000. The 12-song multi-artist collection follows Frozen as the second soundtrack to top the chartthis year. Both albums were released by the Disney Music Group. (The company's Hollywood Records issued Guardians of the Galaxy while Walt Disney Records released Frozen.) 2014 is the first year since 2009 where multiple theatrical film soundtracks reached No. 1. Three movie sets topped the list in 2009: Hannah Montana: The Movie, The Twilight Saga: New Moon and Michael Jackson's This Is It Why a '70s Mixtape Propels the Plot of 'Guardians of the Galaxy' Guardians of the Galaxy is an especially notable No. 1 album because it is the first No. 1 soundtrack where the whole album is composed of previously released songs. All of its tunes were released between the late 1960s and late 1970s, and most were chart hits on the Billboard Hot 100. The album and its music play an important role in the movie: They are all on a mixtape in the main character's Walkman, which was given to him by his late mother. (All but one of the soundtrack album's dozen songs are heard in the film, too.) As for the rest of the top 10, the Now 51 compilation enters at No. 2 with 94,000, giving the long-running Now That's What I Call Music! franchise its 57th top 10 album. All 51 of the titles in the main series have hit the top 10, while an additional six Now-branded titles (like Now That's What I Call Christmas! ) have reached the top 10. Godsmack starts at No. 3 with its newest album, 1000HP, selling 58,000. It's the band's first full-length studio album to not enter at No. 1 since 2000's Awake debuted and peaked at No. 5. Following that project, the act notched three straight chart-toppers with the studio efforts Faceless (2003), IV (2006) and The Oracle (2010). The band also nabbed a top 10 EP in that span of time with The Other Side (No. 5) in 2004. Another rock band, Spoon, rounds out the new arrivals in the top four, as its latest, They Want My Soul, bows at No. 4 with 39,000. It's the third top 10 for the group, which previously visited the region with 2010's Transference (No. 4) and 2007's Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga (No. 10). Tom Petty Scores First No. 1 Album On Billboard 200 Last week's No. 1 album, Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers' Hypnotic Eye, falls to No. 6 in its second week with 34,000 (down 74 percent). It's right behind 5 Seconds of Summer's self-titled set, which falls 4-5 with 36,000 (down 35 percent). Eric Clapton & Friends' all-star tribute album, The Breeze: An Appreciation of JJ Cale, descends 2-7 with 29,000 (down 52 percent). The Frozen soundtrack shifts 6-8 (28,000, down 15 percent), and Sam Smith's In the Lonely Hour moves 7-9 (27,000, down 10 percent). New U.K. pop band The Vamps arrive at No. 10 with debut EP Somebody to You. The quartet's effort sells 20,000 and is the fifth EP to debut in the top 10 this year. A year ago at this point, no EPs had arrived in the top 10. Just last week Shawn Mendes' self-titled EP arrived at No. 5. It falls to No. 32 in its second week. Over on the Digital Songs chart, a new No. 1 is crowned, as Meghan Trainor's "All About That Bass" rises 2-1 with 197,000 downloads sold (up 17 percent). More on Meghan Trainor: Meghan Trainor On 'All About That Bass': 'I Wish There Was a Song Like This When I Was 13' MAGIC! Maintains No. 1 Perch on Hot 100; 'Bang Bang,' Meghan Trainor Soar Into Top 10 Hot 100 News: Meghan Trainor, 'All About That Bass' Jessie J, Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj's "Bang Bang" drops 1-2 in its second week, selling 141,000 (down 39 percent). Minaj makes a second appearance in the top three, as her new solo single, "Anaconda," bows at No. 3 with 141,000. She is the first lead act to have two concurrent songs in the top three of the chart since the Sept. 22, 2012 list. That week, Taylor Swift led with "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" at No. 1 and "Ronan" at No. 2. Smith's "Stay With Me" remains at No. 4 on the new Digital Songs chart with 123,000 (down 11 percent), Magic's "Rude" is also steady at No. 5 with 122,000 (down 8 percent), and Jason Aldean's "Burnin' It Down" is another stationary track, sitting at No. 6 for another week (107,000; down 7 percent). Iggy Azalea's "Black Widow," featuring Rita Ora, climbs 8-7 with 106,000 (up 6 percent), and Azalea's "Fancy," featuring Charli XCX, slips 7-8 with 98,000 (down 8 percent). Maroon 5's "Maps" tumbles 3-9 with 97,000 (down 31 percent), and Sia's "Chandelier" moves 9-10 with 91,000 (down 7 percent). Overall album sales in this past chart week (ending Aug. 10) totaled 4.27 million units, down 1 percent compared with the sum last week (4.33 million) and down 9 percent compared with the comparable sales week of 2013 (4.7 million). Year-to-date album sales stand at 146.4 million, down 14 percent compared with the same total at this point last year (171 million). Digital track sales this past week totaled 20.2 million downloads, down 1 percent compared with last week (20.4 million) and down 8 percent stacked next to the comparable week of 2013 (22.1 million). Year-to-date track sales are at 715.6 million, down 13 percent compared with the same total at this point last year (820.2 million). Next week's Billboard 200 competes with the same week in 2013 when: Luke Bryan's Crash My Party debuted at No. 1, selling 528,000 in its first week. K. Michelle's Rebellious Soul arrived in the runner-up spot, selling 72,000. FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME

Friday 17 May 2019, 8pm - 11pm
Norwich Arts Centre
Norwich Arts Centre | 51 St Benedicts Street, Norwich, NR2 4PG, UK
Brooklyn, NY-based trio DADDY LONG LEGS—Brian Hurd (vocals, harmonica, guitar), Murat Akturk (slide guitar), Josh Styles (drums, maraca) will make their Yep Roc Records debut May 10 with Lowdown Ways, their third studio album.
Produced by Jimmy Sutton and engineered by Alex Hall (JD McPherson, Pokey LaFarge, Jake La Botz) at Hi-Style Studios in Chicago, the album features 12 original compositions with songwriting contributions from JD McPherson and Sutton. A new direction from their first two studio albums (released by Norton Records), Lowdown Ways sees the boys widen their sonic horizons with field hollers, gospel, Cajun, and Mississippi Hill Music, coupled with their renowned supercharged, harp-driven R&B bangers.
The first single, "Mornin' Noon & Nite," premiered at WFMU. The track is now available at all streaming services.
Frontman Brian Hurd describes "Mornin' Noon & Nite" as "a Hoodoo Stomper in the vein of John Lee Hooker and is about one's pure, savage lust for his or her lover."
When asked by Village Voice "What is DADDY LONG LEGS?," Hurd answered, "Rock and roll salvation through the spirit of roots and blues." While influenced by the likes of Son House, Captain Beefheart, Howlin' Wolf, MC5, and Dr. Feelgood, their sound personifies garage rock and punk with a contemporary raw twist performed in their own brand of supercharged R&B.
Since forming in 2010, the band has released two studio albums, a live album and two 45s on Norton Records. Their last album was 2015's DADDY LONG LEGS Rides Tonight. The band has toured with Jon Spencer, Hurray For The Riff Raff, The Sonics, Nikki Lane, Nick Waterhouse, amongst others.
Lowdown Ways is now available for pre-order. The vinyl LP arrives on limited edition opaque white vinyl.
Please note: We won't be sending out physical tickets or e-tickets for this event. All you will need to do is arrive at the venue just before the start of the event with your order transaction number (which is given in your confirmation email) and some form of ID.
