ROPID, which organizes Prague public transport, has promised shorter waiting times between trains by the end of April. More trains will also travel to the ends of the lines.
The changes will be brought in in phases with line B the first to see a faster arrival time. "At peak times the trains will appear in a shorter interval. About 15 seconds. It's not much, but it certainly helps," explained Philip Drupal, the Prague spokesman for ROPID.
In the evening the change will be more noticeable. "Between 21 and 22 hours will be on all underground lines shorter interval, about 7.5 minutes instead of ten."

A number of months ago I wrote a post about the historic Lincoln Hills neighborhood in rural Gilpin County, Colorado, about 20 miles southwest of Boulder. In the 1920's when many of Colorado's mayors and governors were KKK members, this African-American resort community thrived as the only one of its kind west of the Mississippi. At the heart of Lincoln Hills was The Phyllis Wheatley YWCA camp for girls, Camp Nizhoni, and Winks Lodge.
Built in 1925 by Naomi and Obrey "Winks" Hamlet, the lodge consisted of 6 bedrooms, some common rooms and a large wrap around porch. The list of visiting luminaries is impressive by anyone's standard: Billy Eckstein, Lena Horne, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Langston Hughes, Zora Neal Hurston. Although much of Lincoln Hills has disappeared, the lodge remains and is on the National Register of Historic Places. With a grant from the Colorado State Historical Fund, the Beckwourth Outdoors Club purchased the lodge and has begun a partial renovation.
The lodge is not a remarkable piece of architecture, but its historical significance is immense. In a state not known for its racial diversity, preservation and encouragement of this community and this building is rare and welcome. Although the lodge is not open to the public, I would encourage folks to go up to Lincoln Hills and take a look at what remains of this once vibrant, thriving community, an artistic and intellectual salon that has faded with the years. Like Chicago's Bronzeville, Lincoln Hills owed some of its existence to institutionalized and legalized racism. Around that kind of malevolent exterior pressure grew some amazingly fertile and rich intellectual and artistic communities, with the Harlem Renaissance as maybe the shining example. The loss of these places is a good sign – they existed because of repression and lack of opportunity. But it is a bittersweet loss nevertheless.

Something a little different from my usual post this Monday morning, an 'Around The World' blog post.
Janet McElroy asked me to follow on today from her blog post last Monday, and you can see some of her wonderful patchwork and quilting here.
I have met Jan in person a couple of times at the Festival of Quilts in Birmingham, but we first met through a website sponsored by Popular Patchwork magazine, and from the start I just knew she was going to be a really fun, as well as
talented and enthusiastic lady. Her quilting especially is just magnificent, and I am in awe of how prolific she is! I dare you to hop over to her blog, you'll not regret it, I promise.
talented and enthusiastic lady. Her quilting especially is just magnificent, and I am in awe of how prolific she is! I dare you to hop over to her blog, you'll not regret it, I promise.
Before introducing some of the blogs that I enjoy, here is a little bit about what I am working on at the moment. After buying myself a Gelli plate a few weeks ago, I am enjoying experimenting with paint and paper, as well as cloth, but I find that if I produce a paper piece that I like, it's easy to take a photo of it, and then print it out onto some canvas ready for stitch. Here is my latest, a robin in the snow! Brrrrr.
Although I started out with patchwork and quilting about 15 years ago, I soon began to investigate 'art quilts', and now I would describe what I do as more mixed media. I really enjoy using paint, crayons and fabric dye for surface decoration on my work, as well as plenty of free machine stitch. Mind you, I'm not too sure that my sewing machine is very happy about this!
Now that I'm retired, I have lots more time to indulge in my craft, and it has become so important to my life, that I can't imagine how it would be not to disappear into my sewing room everyday, and to focus all my energy into my work. I find I get quite grumpy if I go a day or two without it, so maybe it's become almost an addiction!
Last thing at night, before I sleep, I think about what I've been working on, and the following morning, I usually start the day by having a soak in the bath, and a good think about where I'm at, and the best way forward with whatever I'm working on.
The person who is going to be following on from me Next Monday 1st December, is Tessa Spanton. I have known Tessa for many years, mainly through our shared interest in art, and Tessa produces some really wonderful silk paintings, and also silk scarves, ties and jewellery. Click here to take you to her blog, and enjoy feasting your eyes on her beautiful works of art.
Tessa also regularly writes articles for Leisure Painter magazine, and teaches watercolour as well as silk painting.
I must also take this opportunity to give my son Ben a mention. He is an extraordinarily talented designer/maker of fine furniture, and restorer of antique furniture. He doesn't have a blog, but his website is a must, http://www.benstonardfinefurniture.co.uk/
I hope you have enjoyed this ramble, and the links to others blogs/websites I have included.

17.1 is in the books, and it was a doozy! Nearly 80 of us participated to complete 1,420 minutes and 40 seconds of work and 15,748 reps. If you're like me, you also completed about 4 hours of foam rolling and 2.5 hours of whining after the workout. So, how did the In-House competition shake out?
Team Frank: 1st Place – 5388 Reps
Team Josh: 2nd Place – 5259 Reps
Team Niki: 3rd Place – 4676 Reps
Team Amy: 4th Place – 4567 Reps
So, Frank gets 1 point, Josh gets 2, Niki gets 3, and Amy gets 4. Lowest score wins!
On an individual basis, Will had the top time with 13:27!!! Amazing. He narrowly edged me out (by about 7 minutes). Cori had the fastest female Rx time with 16:32, with Brittany only 3 seconds behind on the retest! Major props to everyone who tackled this workout. Rx or scaled, it was a tough one.
Awesome work! Bring on 17.2!!!

Shaun Allan's Darker Places Tour – Darkness and madness
Welcome to Shaun Allan's Darker Places tour. Today, Shaun is sharing some of his favorite horror TV shows!
Shaun Allan's Singularity Books is proud to introduce Darker Places!
What if you could steal the final moments from the dying? What if you had the darkest secret, but couldn't think what it might be? What if you entered the forest in the deep of the night. Who is the melting man? And are your neighbours really whom they appear to be?
So many questions.
To find the answers, you must enter a darker place. Thirteen stories. Thirteen poems. Thirteen more doorways.

Darkness and madness
"There is Darkness and Madness in each of us. We must do battle with our own demons"
I think that the greatest horror comes from within – we do battle with our fears and the demons that live inside us daily. That's why horror speaks to us – it's the things that, deep inside, make us tremble, or repulse us. The best horror reaches into us and squeezes all of the primal bits that make us feel…alive.
But, I think there's another kind of darkness and another kind of horror. One that comes from things that are so big, they consume us. It's a bit of a renaissance in some ways; we have some of the most amazing, chilling and outright crazy horror in the last few years, so I thought I'd talk about some of the shows that I've been enjoying lately, and ask you what you think.
How TV shows play on our greatest fears
When you look at TV now, it's pretty obvious that shows are getting smarter, slicker and the narrative quality is designed to suck you in. And when you're sucked into a horror show you experience it in a different way from books. Your imagination is given a rest in some ways, but in others, you're given more fuel to enjoy, relive or scare yourself with later. I've spent the last few months binging on horror – on Netflix and Amazon, and I have to say, if you're a horror fan, there's an amazing variety out there!
Supernatural and Grimm
I have to admit, Supernatural and Grimm aren't traditional horror, but both are great series' using elements that also appear in horror. Supernatural has turned from a story about monster hunters, taking on the traditional tropes to something that's smart enough to make fun of itself, while telling a story of angels, demons, monsters and more.
Grimm is another story that takes the traditional pieces and twists it on their heads. Grimm is another monster hunter – one that can see monsters that normal humans can't. And while it's more 'family friendly' (or at least teen friendly!), it's still got some really clever storylines, designed to make you really think. And the Hexenbeasts…
Vampires galore
From appearances in other shows, to The Strain, Hemlock Grove (with Werewolves and other supernatural creatures) and True Blood (random Triva – Bill and Alexander Skarsgård are brothers – Roman plays a vampire in Hemlock Grove, Alexander in True Blood. And their Dad (Stellan) is the scientist in the Thor/Avengers movies!), to name but a few, there's a dearth of vamp shows out there that are worth people's time. And some that aren't. My favorite so far has been 'The Strain', but I've got a soft spot for most vampire stories that don't use tropes as crutches.
Gothic and revival horror
One of the biggest standouts from last year for me has to be 'True Detective'. It was an incredibly slick, gothic horror story that crept along instead of jumping out and scaring the life out of you. I've also enjoyed American Horror Story and Penny Dreadful. But I've also quite enjoyed both Whitechapel and Ripper Street – there's something about the retelling of stories that have no clear resolution that makes them especially terrifying.
I've tried to use all of the shows I've been watching recently to influence my stories – directly when I wrote Mr Composure, but indirectly too – I enjoy my down time and use stories to both test my deductive skills (and try and guess what's going on!), and to see what others are doing, where the fresh takes are and what they inspire in me. Reading and watching a variety of media is the only way to feed our imaginations. But, given it's horror, it's also led to a LOT of sleepless nights!
What are your favorite shows?
A writer of many prize winning short stories and poems, Shaun Allan has written for more years than he would perhaps care to remember. Having once run an online poetry and prose magazine, he has appeared on Sky television to debate, against a major literary agent, the pros and cons of internet publishing as opposed to the more traditional method. Many of his personal experiences and memories are woven into Sin's point of view and sense of humour although he can't, at this point, teleport.
Follow Shaun on his Social media accounts!
And of course, we're running an event today on Facebook!

St. Mary
There has been a church on this site since 1337. However, the present chapel-style building dates from 1857 when it was completely rebuilt to a design by J L Pearson of London.
This is an estate church and closely related to the large Tudor-style mansion nearby. Church and house share the same drive and the slightly inappropriate huge gateway. The church bell came from Sevastopol.
This is also a church for those who particularly appreciate fine workmanship in wood. It is one of only two built by the Victorians in Dorset that employed oak both for the roof and pews, whereas the normal was pine. (The other is Frampton.) The beautifully carved roof is supported on carved stone angel capitals. There is an impressive stone pulpit, an interesting organ and some important stained glass. Note, the sad lament by a mother for her son on a grave under the east window outside.
This is a gem of a little church in a charming setting.

Perinatal depression: RNAO best practice guideline recommends routine screening
TORONTO, Oct. 11, 2018 – New evidence-based recommendations from the Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario (RNAO) will provide nurses and other health providers with the necessary tools to help those suffering with perinatal depression.
RNAO's Assessment and Interventions for Perinatal Depression (second edition) best practice guideline (BPG) was released today at a press conference in Toronto. It features 16 recommendations covering a range of topics, including better pre and postpartum care, more co-ordinated supports and greater access to mental health services.
Perinatal depression is a term used to describe depression that can occur during pregnancy or up to one year following childbirth. It is one of the most common mental health illnesses experienced by those who are pregnant or have gone through childbirth. It is estimated that between 10 and 14 per cent of those within that population group in Canada will develop perinatal depression. Despite its prevalence, the condition too often remains undetected and untreated.
Symptoms can include: frequent crying, trouble sleeping, fatigue or low energy levels, changes in appetite, increased anxiety, and difficulties feeling connected to a developing baby or child. Left untreated, symptoms of perinatal depression can be prolonged and in some cases, result in suicide.
Given the risks, the guideline recommends that routine screening be integrated into prenatal and postpartum care. Those diagnosed with the disorder should also have access to psychotherapies such as cognitive behavioural therapy or interpersonal therapy. The BPG also recommends that persons with perinatal depression get access to comprehensive and co-ordinated mental health services that support strategies provided by nurses and other members of the health team.
"It is important to understand that many people suffer through this, not knowing or simply afraid to seek help," says Dr. Angela Bowen, the guideline panel's co-chair and professor of nursing at the University of Saskatchewan. "We have to be responsive to the needs of this population and put supports in place to help them cope and ensure their mental health and well-being. This guideline does that."
Developed using a systematic review of evidence and consultation, the panel was led by Dr. Bowen and Dr. Phyllis Montgomery, a nursing professor at Laurentian University's School of Nursing in Sudbury. Their work was supported by RNAO's guideline research and development team, which has produced 54 best practice guidelines being implemented in Ontario and around the world.
"Nurses and other health providers play an important role in detecting, treating and referring those who need help for treatment" says Montgomery, adding that "the guideline will be an invaluable resource for health professionals and for the thousands of people who suffer from this type of mental illness."
Like all RNAO BPGs, Assessment and Intervention for Perinatal Depression (second edition) is based on the most current and relevant evidence and extensive consultation with the expert panel, which included people with lived experience, nurses, and other health professionals with clinical, administrative, and academic expertise. "The rigorous process used to create the guideline ensures the best available evidence is used to develop recommendations that nurses and members of the interprofessional team rely on when providing care," says RN Katherine Wallace, an implementation manager at RNAO who led the development of the guideline.
RNAO's CEO Dr. Doris Grinspun – the founder of the association's BPG program – says the guideline is meant for nurses and all health providers, especially those working in public health, primary care and hospital obstetric units who come in contact with people who are pregnant or who have gone through childbirth. "This can and should be an immensely joyous time for individuals and their families and yet, it can also be a very challenging period. If adopted, the recommendations in our guideline will ensure people are provided with the best possible evidence-based quality care."
RNAO is the professional association representing registered nurses, nurse practitioners, and nursing students in Ontario. Since 1925, RNAO has advocated for healthy public policy, promoted excellence in nursing practice, increased nurses' contribution to shaping the healthcare system, and influenced decisions that affect nurses and the public they serve.

Vista and Internet Explorer 7
For the record, the Internet describes the infinite network joining every computer in the solar system, or nearly so. The Internet provides the pathways and protocols for all manner of communication, especially browsing the Web and using e-mail. The World Wide Web is one large facet of the Internet, a collection of services that convey text and graphics from a server to the person browsing.
In this chapter, we'll connect to the Internet and the Web using Windows Vista Internet Explorer version 7.
Connecting to the Internet
Internet connections come in two categories: dial-up and broadband. Dial-up connections involve a telephone modem (still typically built into a computer) and a phone line, which is tied up while you are connected. Most readers are well acquainted with the miseries of dial-up: dropped lines and slow connections. The soundtrack for many nightmares is that electronic hiss and babble you hear when you pick up a phone line the modem is using. I would say, "you used to hear " but dial-up is still a necessity for many of us.
If you are fortunate enough to have broadband, whether DSL (digital subscriber line), cable, or satellite, you know the twin joys of an always-on connection and greater speed, although it may never be fast enough. Broadband also involves a device typically called a modem, though different from a telephone modem and more appropriately called a router. The following table compares the speeds of the various connection types:
|Connection Type
|Rated Speed in Mbps
(megabits per second)
|56k modem

An Internet service provider (ISP) provides you with a physical connection to the Internet, as well as an account to use that connection. There are many choices of ISPs, both locally and nationally. Many customers base their choice of ISP on some ratio of price and speed. Other factors include reliability (uptime) and customer support (Web-based and more). You might also consider what more is included with the service, such as how much Web space an ISP offers and how many e-mail addresses are available (although you can obtain both from other services once you have a connection).
After you establish a connection, whether dial-up, wired, or wireless, Internet Explorer will automatically use that connection.
Wireless Connections on the Road
As you travel from place to place with a laptop or other portable device, you will also make connections to Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) networks, particularly in public places such as airports and coffee shops ("hotspots"). Fortunately, establishing these connections is usually quite easy and safe.
Use Start > Connect To. Or most simply, look for the network icon in the icon tray (two monitors with a tiny globe); right-click over that icon for connecting to a network. Available networks should be listed. In fact, you may find a large number of connections available in some urban locations. Look for a familiar name, perhaps of the establishment you are in.
If the network connection is unsecured, as most public networks are, it will be easy to connect to. Just click the network and the Connect button. You'll see a warning; accept it. If Windows Vista prompts you for the type of network, choose Public for the most secure defaults. To verify the network type, see the Network and Sharing Center (from the network icon in the tray). next: Internet Explorer 7, a Web Browser >
If the network connection is secured, you'll need some kind of key from the network administrator.

User Guide Improvements from Remote SprintSubmitted by seanmadsen on March 25, 2018 - 20:44
Last week we had a remote sprint to improve documentation, and wow, what a success it was!
- The sprint was focused on improving the User Guide.
Check out everything we did.
GitHub tells us:
User Guide documentation sprint to happen remotely, March 22nd/23rd/24thSubmitted by seanmadsen on February 20, 2018 - 14:35
The Documentation Working Group is planning a remote sprint to improve content in the User Guide. Everyone is invited to participate! Experience editing our docs will be helpful but not required.
System Administrator Guide completedSubmitted by seanmadsen on November 14, 2017 - 20:17
Two months ago, I launched a Make It Happen campaign to build a System Administrator Guide with the goal of migrating the installation, setup, and upgrade documentation out of the wiki and into a beautiful guide on our new documentation platform. Amazingly, the MIH campaign reached its $2,000 USD minimum in only 4 days — which meant I could get to work right away!
System Administrator Guide coming soon... if MIH campaign succeedsSubmitted by seanmadsen on September 13, 2017 - 10:35
This Make It Happen campaign will migrate the installation, setup, and upgrade documentation out of the wiki and into a beautiful guide on our new documentation platform.
One more reason to go to St. Louis – the City MuseumSubmitted by seanmadsen on March 20, 2017 - 16:48
I'm sure many CiviCRMers are checking their schedules and and making travel arrangements for CiviCon St. Louis in May. While this post is a bit off-topic, I want to highlight a place in St. Louis like no other place on Earth... the City Museum. It's already on the list of things to do while at CiviCon, but in my opinion it should also be on a list of things to do while you're alive!
Developer Documentation: Goodbye Wiki. Hello MkDocs!Submitted by seanmadsen on January 12, 2017 - 17:16
TL;DR: A migration project is underway to bring wiki content into the Developer Guide.
The wiki is kind of like that drawer in your kitchen where you put things that seem useful but don't really have "a place". And it works okay, especially when its your kitchen, because you have a decent idea of what you've chucked in there over the years.

In just the past few years, drones have transformed from a geeky hobbyist affair to a full-on cultural phenomenon. They're everywhere now, and they're available in just about any shape, size, or configuration you could ever want. The market is absolutely saturated with them now, so to help you navigate the increasingly large and ever-changing landscape of consumer UAVs, we put together a definitive list of the best drones on the planet right now. So without further ado, here's the cream of the quadcopter crop.
Our pick
Dan Baker/Digital Trends
Why you should buy this: It has all the features you need in a drone, yet is still compact enough to fit in a backpack or purse
$999.00 from Amazon $999.00 from Apple
Who it's for: Anyone looking for a full-featured yet highly portable drone
How much it'll cost: $999
Why we chose the DJI Mavic Pro
What makes the Mavic Pro so amazing is that, despite the fact that it's one of the most compact and portable drones we've ever flown, it's also one of the most capable and full-featured. It's equipped with a 4K camera, a 3-axis gimbal, forward obstacle avoidance, tons of autopilot modes, range over four miles, and somehow it still fits in the palm of your hand. It's living proof that scaling down size doesn't necessarily mean scaling back on features, and that big things really can come in small packages.
The portability factor is huge. Thanks to a very clever hinge system, the Mavic's arms fold up into a neat little package just smaller than the dimensions of your average brick, which makes it a breeze to stuff in your backpack or messenger bag and lug along on your adventures. Photographers always say that the best camera is the one you have with you, and the same could definitely be said for drones. If it's portable, you're far more likely to have it with you when you need it.
When it comes to portable drones, the Mavic Pro has no equal — at least not yet. The GoPro Karma is arguably its closest competitor, but it can't match the Mavic in range, speed, compactness, or flight capabilities.
The best drone for beginners
Rich Shibley/Digital Trends
Why you should buy this: Because it's easy to fly, relatively cheap, reasonably durable, and also provides you with plenty of room to grow and progress as a pilot
Who its for: Novice pilots who want a durable, easy-to-fly drone with a decent camera and a plethora of upgrade options
How much it'll cost: $500
Why we chose the Yuneec Breeze
Some people will tell you that beginner pilots should cut their teeth on lower-end drones, but in our expert opinion, that's nonsense. Why? Crappier drones are harder and less reliable to fly, which means that you're far more likely to crash and destroy them. We think its a smarter idea to start out with a slightly nicer drone with reliable, responsive controls, a decent warranty, and a design that's easy to repair or upgrade.
With these goals in mind, Yuneec's Breeze is a fantastic choice for any greenhorn drone pilot. It is relatively cheap, but not so cheap that you'll be encouraged to fly carelessly. It also has a pretty decent 4K camera on the undercarriage, and boasts an ultraportable form factor that makes transport, well, a Breeze.
And the best part? You can fly it with your smartphone, or pick up Yuneec's dedicated controller system if you want tighter, more responsive controls. In other words, if you start with this drone, you'll be able to learn the ins and outs of piloting a quadcopter — but more importantly, you'll also be able to upgrade your setup as your skills progress and your needs change.
The best cheap drone
Why you should buy this: Despite being under $200 bucks, it boasts all the essential features you need.
Who it's for: Beginners, anyone who wants an affordable but stable drone
How much it'll cost: $170
Why we chose the Hubsan Desire FPV
The problem with most drones in the sub-$200 category is that they don't have great stabilization and position hold features, so they're super squirrelly and difficult to fly — but Hubsan's Desire FPV is a notable exception. This little zipper has onboard GPS, altitude hold, and damn decent auto-stabilization software, which makes it much easier to fly.
As an added bonus, the Desire is also equipped with an wide-angle 720p camera that can record video to an onboard Micro SD card (not included), or just beam live video back to the screen on your controller. There's even a "follow me" mode that allows you to relinquish control while the autopilot keeps the camera trained on the controller's position — which is something you usually only find on higher-end drones. If you're ballin' on a budget, the Desire FPV should definitely be on your list.
The best drone for filmmakers
Why you should buy this: Because it's a professional camera drone that's ready to fly, straight out of the box
$2,999.00 from DJI $1,999.00 from Amazon.com
Who its for: Amateur and professional filmmakers who don't want to build a custom camera drone rig
How much it'll cost: $3,000
Why we chose the DJI Inspire 2
There's a reason you see DJI's Inspire showing up everywhere from movie sets to Enrique Iglesias concerts — it's a beast. The Inspire 2 boasts some seriously impressive specs: a controllable range of up to 4.3 miles, a top speed of 67 miles per hour, forward obstacle avoidance, and all the stabilization and autopilot features you could ever ask for in a drone. But the camera is definitely the star of the show.
DJI's latest Zenmuse cam, the X5S, is a mirrorless Micro Four Thirds camera made specifically for aerial photography and cinematography. It shoots in 5.2K at 30 frames per second (or 4K at 60), takes 20.4 megapixel stills, and boasts a ridiculously wide ISO range of 100 – 25,600. As an added bonus, this rig is cradled inside a vibration dampened 3-axis gimbal, so your footage comes out silky smooth no matter how crazily you fly.
DJI's control system is also fantastic. The revamped DJI Go app puts all of the camera's advanced controls right at your fingertips. Shutter speed, aperture, and ISO can be adjusted with just a few taps, and focus can be set by simply tapping on the subject. With a setup like this, you don't even need prior film experience or piloting skills to get professional-looking footage.
The best drone for racing
Why you should buy this: Because you want a drone you can race and upgrade, but don't want to build one from scratch
Who its for: Novice and intermediate racing pilots
How much it'll cost: $434
Why we chose the Lumenier QAV250 Mini FPV Carbon Fiber Edition
Lumenier's QAV250 wins our pick for the best racing drone for a few different reasons, but the first and most important is that it is modular and customizable. You can buy it pre-assembled from Lumenier, and while the stock configuration should be more than enough to satisfy pilots who are new to drone racing, you are also not locked in to that configuration forever. If you ever feel like upgrading your drone, you can easily swap out any of the parts for newer, better gear.
This flexibility is crucial. If you look at the winners of most drone races, you'll notice that most pros fly their own custom drone rigs that can be tweaked and tuned to boost performance. The technology that powers drone racing is progressing at a breakneck pace, and the last thing you want to do is dump a bunch of money into a pre-built racing rig that'll become obsolete in a few months. The best course of action is to get a rig that'll get you in the air and racing, but also allow you to evolve — and that's precisely what the QAV250 will do.
The best drone for kids
Why you should buy this: It's stable and easy to fly, and it comes with a range of fun attachments.
$120.00 from Brookstone $119.99 from Parrot USA
Who its for: Kids and adults who want a drone that can shoot darts
How much it'll cost: $120
Why we chose the Parrot Mambo
Truth be told, you can get a cheaper drone that your kid will probably go bonkers over just the same, but they'll actually be able to fly this one. There are a boatload of mini drones out there right now that you can get for under $50 — but in our experience, the vast majority of them are too squirrelly and difficult to master for your average kid.
Parrot's new Mambo is different. Unlike most other mini drones, this one is actually designed specifically for kids. In addition to a boatload of motion sensors and advanced autopilot software that keeps the drone stable, Mambo also comes with a handful of attachments that make it more fun and engaging than a basic quadcopter. Inside the box you'll find a cannon attachment, 50 foam cannon balls, and a grabber arm that can clamp and carry small objects.
And the best part? Parrot also gives you the option of piloting via smartphone or with a dedicated dual-joystick controller. The Flypad, as it's called, is sold separately for $40 bucks, but it might be worth the extra dough if you don't have a spare smartphone lying around and don't feel like handing your kid your brand new iPhone every time he/she feels like flying.
The best elite filmmaking drone
Why you should buy this: Because you want the most insane drone ever
Who its for: Elite aerial cinematographers
How much it'll cost: A lot. Probably around $50,000
Why we chose the Intuitive Aerial Aerigon Mk II
This is basically the beefiest cinematography drone that money can buy. It has a ridiculous payload capacity of up to 19 pounds, which means that you can use it to carry just about anything you want — a decked-out 8K Red Weapon camera, a cooler full of beer, or even a really fat baby. With this drone, the sky is — quite literally — the limit.
If you're not impressed by the sheer size of the Mk II, we highly recommend checking out the Toyota commercial that Brain Farm shot with it — just so you can get a sense of what its capable of. We wont spoil the surprise, but they basically strapped a $150,000 high speed camera onto the drone and then used it to film a truck driving through a mud puddle — and the resulting footage is jaw dropping.
How we test drones
Build quality & Design
the first thing we do when we get a new drone is beat it up a little bit. We don't kick it down the stairs or anything, but we'll give it a few knocks, twists, and shallow drops to assess the build quality and durability. Does it feel flimsy, or does it feel like it could survive a crash landing in the park? We give each review unit a light beating (and usually a couple unintentional crash landings) before we give you a definitive answer on how durable it is.
Flight performance, range, and autonomy
To gauge flight performance, we put the drone through a number of tests to see how the manufacturer's claims hold up. First we take it to a local football field and see how fast it can clear 100 yards, then do some calculations to get an objective reading on speed in miles per hour. After that, we do a similar test to assess ascent and descent speeds, and all the while, we're also taking notes on how responsive the controls are, how stable the craft is, how far it can go before it's out of range, and what the overall piloting experience is like compared to other drones.
Battery life and charge time
After we've taken the drone out to play for a while and jotted down a few notes about how long the battery lasts, we put it on the charger and grab a stopwatch to determine recharge time. Then we take it back out and do a hover test. By flying the drone in the least demanding conditions, we can get a sense of what the maximum flight time is. And finally, we take it out a few more good, hard flights to find out how long the battery lasts (on average) under normal conditions.
Camera, accessories, and upgradability
If the drone we're testing happens to have a camera capable of recording, we capture as much footage as we possibly can. We'll shoot in dark places, light places, and places with lots of color and contrast. This footage is then compared to all the highlight reels that we filmed with other drones, which helps us get a sense of the camera's strengths and weaknesses. We also test any accessories that accompany the camera, like lenses, filters, gimbals, or FPV goggles. Finally, we'll also let you know if the camera setup is upgradable, so you wont be stuck with an outdated shooter in two years.
We also do our research
When we don't have the ability to test things ourselves, we start with a full assessment of the product's specs. After that we'll comb through any available reviews and forum posts online to check for outstanding problems, and usually try to find at least two videos of the product in action. We cannot physically review every drone yet, but we're committed to helping you find a great quadcopter, regardless.

Liposuction is a fat removal procedure that provides a slimmer, more defined body contour by ridding the body of stubborn fat bulges that don't disappear despite proper diet and regular exercise. If you are a man or woman with extra weight on your stomach, thighs, hips, back or another area on your body, this body contouring procedure may be just right for you. Not only does the procedure remove excess fat, it also removes the fat cells in the area, meaning that any weight gained afterwards will not return as a fat pocket, but will instead be more evenly distributed around the body. The body sculpting effects of liposuction are therefore permanent. Patients considering liposuction have a variety of techniques to choose from, some of which are less invasive and offer a shorter recovery time than others.
Would you like to know your liposuction options, whether the procedure is right for you and where you can find the best plastic surgeons that perform liposuction body contouring in your area? Read on to find the answers.
Is Liposuction Right for You?
If you are within a healthy weight range for your build, but wish to smooth out fat bulges and rolls for a slimmer physique, you might benefit from liposuction. A person is generally considered a good candidate for liposuction if they:
- Are healthy and have no serious medical conditions
- Have unwanted fat on their stomach, back, thighs, hips or another area
- Are within 20 percent of a healthy weight for their build
- Have maintained a stable weight for several months
- Have firm, elastic skin (not loose or hanging)
- Are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding
- Are not looking at liposuction as weight loss surgery
- Are looking at liposuction to supplement (not replace) healthy lifestyle habits
Types of Liposuction
Traditional liposuction
Traditional liposuction is a procedure that uses a small, hollow tube called a cannula to suction fat from a small incision or incisions in the treatment area.
Tumescent liposuction
Tumescent liposuction is a similar procedure to traditional liposuction, with the exception that tumescent liposuction involves anesthetic fluid injected into the treatment area in order to numb it and cause the area to swell, allowing an easier and more precise fat removal to occur. This type of liposuction also results in less bleeding during and after treatment.
Power-assisted liposuction (PAL)
Power-assisted liposuction (PAL) is the same procedure as traditional liposuction, with the exception that the cannula used to break up and remove fat is mechanically powered, allowing the surgeon to perform more precise body contouring that leaves the area smooth and without lumps under the skin.
Ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL)
Ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL) uses ultrasound waves administered through a handheld device to melt fat, which is then removed by suction using a cannula. This type of liposuction allows for a larger volume of fat to be removed than other techniques.
Laser-assisted liposuction (LAL)
Laser-assisted liposuction (LAL) is one of the latest liposuction techniques, and uses laser energy that is focused onto the treatment area via a thin laser fiber inserted into the incision site. This laser fiber administers bursts of laser energy which break up and liquefy fat, after which it is removed with a cannula.
More about the Liposuction Procedure
Liposuction is an outpatient procedure that can take anywhere from one to several hours, and will largely depend on the type of liposuction being performed, the area (or areas) being treated and the amount of fat being removed. The surgeon will create one or more small incisions around the treatment area, and will place the ultrasound or laser probe (for UAL or LAL liposuction) through these sites, in order to break up the fat and (for all liposuction techniques) suction the fat out using a cannula. Once the desired amount of fat is removed, the incisions are closed with sutures.
Planning for Your Liposuction Recovery
After a liposuction procedure, the treatment area will be swollen and there may also be some bruising present. Your surgeon will place you either in a compression garment or bandages in order to help reduce swelling and protect the area while it heals. He or she may also place drainage tubes in the area for the first few days, for the purpose of removing excess fluids. If you experience discomfort, you can use pain medication prescribed by your doctor during this time. Walking and other gentle exercises are encouraged as early as the day after surgery, as this promotes circulation and helps with swelling. Typically, patients can drive and perform other daily tasks a week after surgery. They can also return to work at this time. Light exercise can be resumed after two weeks. For more detailed post-operative instructions that take into account your individual needs and rate of healing, talk to your surgeon.
Your Liposuction Results
You will see the majority of your results from your liposuction procedure within the first three months of your surgery. And since liposuction destroys and removes fat cells (along with fat) from the treatment area, they are no longer available to store fat. The result is that the fat pockets removed through liposuction can never return as "problem areas." Any subsequent weight gain will be more evenly distributed throughout your body. To maintain ideal results, keep your weight stable and stick to a healthy eating and exercise regimen.
What to Look for in a Plastic Surgeon
Since the liposuction procedure is a surgery that requires careful attention to detail as well as safe surgical practices, it is important to find a plastic surgeon that provides this level of care. In the Leading Medical Clinics of the World® network of plastic surgeons, all of them are:
- Board-certified
- Well-respected by peers

Call centers can provide a rewarding working environment, but a survey by UNISON, the largest public sector trade union, found that they can also create stress. Staff can feel less like human beings and more like an extension of technology. The survey included local councils, the health helpline NHS Direct, as well as other call centres. As call centers develop into contact centers and become a primary route of access to public services, the survey findings will have an increasing influence on design of new services.Call center stress results mainly from the computer taking control and driving the operation. Data is collected automatically minute by minute and in most centres an overhead LED display shows the number of calls waiting and the longest time waited. When a call is completed the computer automatically puts the next caller through and there is no choice, nor time to make a note or pause for any other reason. In some centres the equipment detects longer than average calls and a flashing light warns that the conversation should be 'wrapped-up.
Black and Asian doctors are demoralised, bitter and angry about racism in the medical profession. In 'Racism in Medicine' published by the King's Fund it is claimed that discrimination begins in medical schools and affects the whole of a doctor's career. This includes harassment and bullying, from both colleagues and patients. Recent figures show that for many years they have been far less likely than white colleagues to get the best jobs in medicine they are still more likely to end up working in unpopular specialties and in inner-city general practice. They are also far less likely to become consultants.The book shows that prejudicial assumptions about the abilities and lifestyles of black and Asian doctors are commonplace among white colleagues. Such assumptions hold back people's careers and can sometimes expose them to abuse and exclusion.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
At Northwest Hospital & Medical Center, our diagnostic imaging staff uses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to develop detailed pictures of the inside of your body without the use of invasive techniques or x-ray radiation. The tests are performed using a strong magnetic field and radio waves to produce a clear, detailed view of a patient's internal organs and tissues. An MRI is painless and extremely safe.
What does an MRI do?
An MRI can be used to assess a variety of situations – from knee or head injuries to tumors or blood and vessel disorders. MRIs have proven valuable for the diagnosis of a broad conditions in all parts of the body, including heart and vascular disease, stroke, and cancer, to name a few.

In one corner is Kendrick Lamar, from Compton, Calif., one of the most daring and sometimes vexing rappers of the day and one who is inverting the gang-rap legacy of his hometown while working under the auspices of one of its founding fathers, Dr. Dre.
In the other corner is Meek Mill, from Philadelphia, a bully of a rapper who, while not as innovative as, say, Drake, has been the most exciting young conventional hip-hop star of the last couple of years since he signed with Maybach Music Group, the label with Rick Ross at the helm.
Superficially they are at opposite poles: Mr. Lamar is an anointed-by-acclamation savior and a reluctant hit maker while Meek Mill is an excitable star with a firm grasp on what makes people move. But each has a strong new major-label debut album and something in common: they're storytelling purists. Mr. Lamar's "good kid, m.A.A.d. city" (TDE/Aftermath/Interscope) and Meek Mill's "Dreams and Nightmares" (Maybach Music Group/Warner Brothers) are two very different accomplishments but accomplishments all the same. They albums also effectively demonstrate how two artists who value the same fundamentals can choose wildly different paths to express them.
Mr. Lamar's is the bolder route. His is a totally unhurried album, easily the most ambitious in hip-hop this year, maybe the most ambitious in any mainstream-focused genre. His songs unfold at the speed of life as it's often lived — slow, meandering, often unremarkable. Every time some action threatens to accelerate the pace of Mr. Lamar's album, in comes a voice-mail message from his mother killing the buzz.
That's part of this album's narrative strategy, which includes, on top of Mr. Lamar's tremendous verses, prayers and conversations and different voices and recollections and interludes, all in service of one overarching story: Mr. Lamar's tale of ducking Compton's rougher corners to find himself artistically.Continue reading the main story
The album "good kid, m.A.A.d. city" recalls the intricacy of early albums by De La Soul, but without the humor. It has the blushing charm of the Pharcyde and the grounded funk of early Outkast, as well as songs that carry an evident sonic torch for his city's gangster-rap past. Mr. Lamar has also probably listened to some Freestyle Fellowship, the Los Angeles underground heroes who counterbalanced that gangster rap in the early '90s with inventive wordplay. He's halfway toward bending words in the same manner as they did and likely for the same reason: to escape.
Take this segment from "good kid, m.A.A.d. city," which comes after Mr. Lamar teases a possibly dark past:
Would you say my intelligence now is great relief
And it's safe to say that our next generation maybe could sleep
With dreams of being a lawyer or doctor
Instead of a boy with a chopper
That hold the cul-de-sac hostage
Kill them all if they gossip
The songs on this album are, almost without fail, dense and quiet, highlighting the changes over the past two decades in hip-hop's scale and gloss by rejecting them outright. (A notable exception is the springy "Backseat Freestyle," a robust accomplishment in any era.)
It's on course to sell more than 200,000 copies in its first week, an outlandish number for an artist with no significant radio presence but not for one with a committed online fan base. In this he's like an indie-rock breakthrough act of the mid-'90s, tapping in to a reserve of commercial, anticentrist sentiment and proving that the market is flexible enough to accommodate dissent.
In the abstract, Meek Mill — a Rick Ross protégé, preserver of big-money triumphalism — is exactly the sort of artist Mr. Lamar is pushing back against. When he raps, Meek Mill sounds as if he's calling home-run highlights on "SportsCenter." His flow is all jabs, nothing smooth about it. His songs sound about 50 percent louder than anything else on the radio.
This is the other side of Mr. Ross's maximalism. Had he come out on his own, Meek Mill would just be shouting, but under Mr. Ross's umbrella he's exulting, a logical response to the single-minded commitment to success his boss employs.
But of all Mr. Ross's underlings, Meek Mill is the cleverest and the one most capable of breaking the template the big man has mapped out. On his earliest mixtapes Meek Mill was more of an obvious technician than he is now, and his recent "Dreamchasers" series of mixtapes have in places been sober complements to hits like "House Party" and "Ima Boss."
What Meek Mill wants to do is tell stories, unfashionable though that may be. On "Dreams and Nightmares" he tries to have it both ways, sneaking moments of heartbreak into otherwise straightforward boast sessions. But he also has a surprising number of stand-alone short-story songs. "Who You're Around" is a scathing indictment of a friend turned adversary — "I woulda rolled for you, even in the same hearse/Same cemetery, bury me in the same dirt/We had a plan but I guess it ain't work" — and "Tony Story Pt. 2" continues a tale of underworld mistrust begun on his "Dreamchasers" mixtape. On "Traumatized" he lashes out against the man who killed his father: "I was only a toddler, you left me traumatized/You made me man of the house and it was grinding time."
Early critical response likened "good kid, m.A.A.d. city" to "Illmatic," the debut album by the revered Queens rapper Nas, but the comparison holds truer for "Dreams and Nightmares." While "Illmatic," like Mr. Lamar's album, was primarily a document of observation rather than participation, it didn't reject the tastes of the day and wasn't a coherent narrative concept album. It aimed for success, much as Meek Mill's does.
Mr. Lamar's "good kid, m.A.A.d. city" is as much of a slog as any great album in recent memory and probably the chewiest major-label hip-hop album in more than a decade. It necessitates ways of listening that went out with the Clinton presidency or with the advent of the seven-inch single. There are almost no obvious entry points, nothing bite-size to latch onto.
"Dreams and Nightmares," by contrast, is highly legible; even its more daring songs are straightforward. But just because Meek Mill doesn't play with cadence or voice or melody like Mr. Lamar doesn't mean that he's not thoughtful. His story songs are intricate, external to Mr. Lamar's internal. He also builds tension in a way that Mr. Lamar, with his perma-cool and level presence, struggles to replicate. Mr. Lamar eases into the beat when he's not gingerly dancing around it; he is never dominating. That's why he remains largely a cipher.
What Meek Mill also has that Mr. Lamar lacks is hits — "Amen," a loose and jubilant Drake collaboration, and "Young & Gettin' It," a fake-Drake song featuring Kirko Bangz that's saccharine and dim. Meek Mill seems to be distancing himself from it by using Auto-Tune, as if he knows the song is beneath him.
Mr. Lamar has a semi-hit, "Swimming Pools (Drank)," about the perils of alcohol and the strain it places on the dispossessed, a song as sinuously catchy as can be. But there is no mistaking it for a compromise. He's a speaker at a podium hoping people will lend him their ears, while Meek Mill is in the crowd, grabbing them by the neck and demanding that they pay attention, then rewarding it.Continue reading the main story

text: Trump Wanted to Be Ambassador to USSR: Report Nobel Prize winner met with Trump in 1986 to talk about Soviet leader By Michael Harthorne, Newser Staff Posted May 26, 2017 4:15 PM CDT 150 comments President Donald Trump arrives for a family photo with G7 leaders at the Ancient Greek Theater of Taormina, Friday, May 26, 2017, in Taormina, Italy. (AP Photo/Evan Vucci) (Newser) – Donald Trump, already showing signs of "Russia mania," planned to ask President Reagan for an ambassadorship to the Soviet Union so he could negotiate nuclear disarmament. Or so a 95-year-old Nobel Peace Prize winner tells the Hollywood Reporter in an exclusive interview. Bernard Lown, who invented the defibrillator, met Mikhail Gorbachev in 1985, becoming one of the first Westerners to spend time with the leader of the USSR. That, apparently, gave Lown expertise Trump was interested in. The future president requested a meeting with the cardiologist in 1986. Lown took the meeting. He says Trump believed he was the only one who could successfully negotiate a nuclear disarmament deal with the USSR, bragging that "within one hour the Cold War would be over." Lown recalls thinking Trump was "self-inflated" and wondering about his sanity. He says Trump appeared to lose focus during their 20-minute conversation about Gorbachev; it felt like he had "another agenda." It's unclear how far Trump pursued his plan to ask Reagan for an ambassadorship, though his desire to negotiate with the USSR was widely reported in the mid-80s. Trump did eventually travel to meet with Gorbachev about a never-built hotel in 1987. Read the full Hollywood Reporter piece here. (Read more Donald Trump stories.)

Quote"In the new context, organizational leaders are willingly, even enthusiastically, followed not because of unconscious attachments (although these never fully disappear) but because they are good role models who articulate meaningful purpose, are transparent in their communications, encourage dialogue and truth-telling, and treat people as colleagues, collaborators rather than subordinates" (Maccoby, 2007, p. 14).
Leaders are composed of people of character who have influence to motivate other people regardless of ranks or status into action towards the common good. In the organizational hierarchy they sit in established positions that allow them to function with powers to influence others towards the directions the company has to make. Structurally, as to the authority and function they hold, leaders are identified as the frontline supervisors, middle managers and top executives of the company.
Leadership is a social construct, it is meaningful to people in various ways, as people may differ in their perspective about leadership. However, leadership comes in human form, in the bodies of the leaders who demonstrate significant traits that people in turn attribute to leadership. Character, power, authority, influence, action, following, position, and mind and vision are eight key concepts that most people commonly associate to leadership:
- Leaders are people of character – they are persons with individual intricacies, peculiar traits, values and virtues. They are humans as anyone else capable of feeling and expressing their emotions, and they too have inequities. They are creatures of habit, which people identify with aside from what can be perceived from their physical attributes. They operate according to the standards they ascribed to and so weigh things out according to the worth they give them. They are expected to demonstrate positive character according to the norms of social behavior; with integrity, honesty, credibility, trustworthiness, justice and professionalism.
- Leaders have power at their disposal– the leaders' power may be proscribed, ascribed or prescribed. In management, power is the potential to allocate resources and to make and enforce decisions (Harvard Business Essentials, 2005). This potential to manage resources and compel people to action to meet organizational goals is primarily warranted by the authority that goes with the leader's functions. Such power is prescribed by the policy and the virtue of the position in the organizational hierarchy. The other source of power is ascribed, and this comes from what the followers risk and put at stake and given to their leader. The third source of power is proscribed, and this does not really need authority or position, but it exerts influence over other people because the leader's virtue, wisdom and personality.
- Leaders are figures of authority – leaders are images and they have images to maintain to be functional in their position. People follow and have need for leaders because the images of the parents who keep control and assert authority over their children are transferred on them (Lipman-Blumen, 2005). Followers pattern their behavior as to that of their leaders who become their role models. As figures of authority, with prescribed power, they have control over people under their position. The leaders' image is reflective of their character, habits and worldviews. Followers configure the image of their leaders as to what the latter demonstrates to them, and with whatever they are knowledgeable of their leaders.
- Leaders have influence – leaders work with people whom they need to motivate, and only those who can motivate without coercion have potential influence. Influence is not forced on a group of people, rather the people look up to the leaders as a resource person who value human relationships and add value to their people (Maxwell, 2009). Leaders use their power to change behavior or attitudes, without exerting force, compulsion or direct command; it is a two-way process where the leader allows the influence of others to influence them (Harvard Business Essentials, 2005). Ideally, leaders with great influence are the types of institutional managers who use power in the most effective and ethical way to achieve organization goals while working well with and charismatically motivating others.
- Leaders act and enable others to act – leaders are responsible as sources or agents of something; they have initiative and commitment to act even without the guidance of a superior (Williams, 2005). As catalyst of change, they labor by both thinking and doing to enable others to act. They are role models in their decisions and actions. They lead by example, a good example in their thoughts, words and deeds. To achieve something, they need to do something. Upon taking some time to think, reflect and plan their actions, they roll their sleeves and get things done according to the plans. They don't stay inert or passive, instead they think proactively by working together with others to achieve their aims.
- Leaders are followed by people – Leaders are not leaders at all without followers; that is when they cannot motivate people to act. The subordinates of a leader may do things as expected because of their own commitment to their work functions and positions, but not necessarily because of the influence of the leader. People follow leaders because of transference which is a psychological concept pertaining to the ideation of parental figures and a better character (Maccoby, 2007; Lipman-Blumen, 2005). When leaders fail to meet the expectations of either of their superior or their subordinates, they lose following.Because people look up to the leaders they follow, leaders should maintain their character and hold responsbility and accountability over their positions.
- Leaders function according to their position – in their position, leaders are instruments of power, with authority to use that to achieve organizational goals; they assess situations to resolve existing problems (Williams, 2005). The power to lead goes with the position, but that power serves the purpose of allocating resources and to enforce decisions, but the success of the leader in his position depends on others (Harvard Business Essentials, 2005). Positions place managers to lead people, they subscribe to the tasks defined and authorized for them. However, to function effectively in their position they need to develop the right bonds and relationships and to persuade others.
- Leaders have both mind and vision – Most successful leaders have inner motivations for growth and development with others in their mind, and power orientation characterized of being fair, just, democratic, yet they see themselves as a source of power – as institutional leaders (Burnham, 2002). The mind of an institutional leader reflects that of a winner's mindset, that is putting others in winning position equal to that of the leaders themselves. Leaders are highly effective people who know themselves and see the bigger picture of what they want to achieve, as they begin with the end in mind and seek to inspire others with their voice (Covey, 2004).
Character, power, authority, influence, action, following, and position are key concepts associated with people's constructs of leadership. But leadership is contextualized, that one leader of a field, department, organization or industry may not be as good as he or she is in another place and time. Michael Maccoby's assertions on contextualized leadership emphasize the need to reflect on how we come to understand the concept of leadership that influences us to act on our function as a leader and as a follower (2007). That, in the fast moving and dynamic changes in the socio-cultural milieus we experience, we can adapt to the leadership challenge.

Tim Clark (comedian)
This article is missing information about Date of birth, radio programmes he has worked on, any solo comedy work.January 2009)(
Tim Clark
Newcastle, England
|Comedian, writer, presenter, actor
|Home town
|London, England
|Married (June 2004)[1]
Tim Clark is a British comedian, writer and presenter on both television and radio. He currently lives in London with his wife and two of his children.
Comedy & Stage[edit]
For more than 20 years, Clark has been building a reputation for himself on the comedy scene. Working as a compère, he has hosted shows throughout the country. In January 1990 he introduced the first 'Pillar Talk' show at the Pillar Room in the Cheltenham Town Hall,[2] a venue which has seen some of the top acts in the UK including Simon Pegg, Mark Lamarr, Bill Bailey and Frank Skinner. Clark was on hand to witness one of the crazier moments in Jim Jefferies' career. The Australian comic was on stage at the Comedy Store, Manchester when he was attacked by a heckler.[3] As well as touring with Frank Skinner, Clark has toured extensively throughout Europe (including Kosovo and Bosnia) and in Asia. In 1995, he became the first western comic to perform in Beijing, China.[citation needed] He is now a regular compère with Comedy Store and Jongleurs.
At the 2002 Edinburgh Fringe, Clark performed his one-man drama, "Talking to Ted". Playing the role of a less than stellar comedian he tries to come to terms with his cocaine habit and how he's going to explain to his wife about the Welsh mistress which has now given him a son. His only companion he can talk to is the teddy bear his daughter left in the car. Fiona Stuges reviewed the show in The Independent praising Clark as "a revelation. <He> has a strong feel for human frailty and performs with acute intelligence. For that, he shouldn't be overlooked.".[4] The show was broadcast on 7 July 2004 on BBC Radio 4 with Les Dennis taking up the main role.
He later returned to Edinburgh in 2006 with the Fringe First production of What I Heard About Iraq. Based on the Eliot Weinberger article and using direct quotes and statistics from the people and events that surrounded the war on Iraq, each member of the production take turns to say 'What I heard about Iraq'. Clark gave a 'powerful performance' and the reviewer ended by saying the play 'is likely to become one of the Fringe's most talked about shows, and rightly so'.[5]
TV & Radio[edit]
Alongside Danny Kelly, Clark co-hosted a sports phone-in show on Channel 4 called Under the Moon. Starting on 12 Feb 1997, it was aired in the early hours of the morning. Clark only lasted about 10 episodes into its two-season run. In an interview Kelly would claim that "it didn't help that he wouldn't rehearse and he was having trouble with his contact lenses so couldn't read the autocue."[6]
When the BBC tried to revive the show Give Us a Clue (originally on rival network ITV), Clark was called on to host the show. The format of the show basically followed the games of charades with one member of the team miming in order to convey to the rest of the team a popular phrase, book, TV or film. If their team was unable to guess it was passed over to the other team who could steal the points. The teams were captained by Christopher Blake and Julie Peasgood. It was broadcast in the afternoon it ran from 10 November until 19 December 1997 before being axed.
He has probably gained the most national recognition from his television advert for the airline Virgin Atlantic. Appearing alongside actor Paul Blackthorne, Clark played the role of the Grim Reaper. Despite a costume and make-up which took several hours to applying, he was still recognised on the streets.
As well as TV, there have been a couple of short film roles. Clark starred alongside Nina Pasale in Graeme Cole's Pilot for a 22nd Century Sitcom.[7] Clark plays a scientist whose wife has stopped doing the house work fearing an impending nuclear war. He also had a brief appearance in the 2006 short film "The Bed Guy" in the guise of Santa.[8]
Clark has also made guest appearances on radio including six times on BBC Radio 5 Live's "Fighting Talk".
As part of Channel 4' Sitcom Festival in 1995, Clark wrote the play The Beautiful Game. The 30-minute piece about two football fans was written for television but performed in front of a live audience at the Riverside Studios, London. His writing career also includes speeches written for ex-England football manager Graham Taylor, ex-footballer Neil Ruddock and also Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
