Which mechanisms control the exchange of climate-relevant gases between the ocean and the atmosphere? How does biology influence this exchange? In the next three weeks, a research team from GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel will address some of these questions during an expedition with the German research vessel POSEIDON off the coast of Mauritania.
The scientific cruise will start on 22 January. During the expedition, the team will publish their laboratory diaries and measurement data on the Internet and, thus, make a contribution to the idea of open science. In addition, the researchers will report on their work in an expedition blog.

The concentration of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere rises continuously due to human activities. At the same time, the ocean absorbs on average around 30 percent of the CO2 produced by humans. On the other hand, in some regions it releases greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. In order to be able to better estimate future climate developments, it is important to understand these exchange processes. A research team from the GEOMAR Helmholtz Center for Ocean Research Kiel wants to investigate them on an expedition with the German research vessel POSEIDON.
The scientific cruise with the official name POS519 leads from Las Palmas (Spain) to the working area off the coast of Mauritania. Off the coast of Mauritania, deep water with a high concentration of CO2 and nitrous oxide (N2O) rises to the surface and is transported from the coast to the open ocean. The CO2 and N2O are released into the atmosphere, while simultaneously oxygen (O2) is absorbed. Plankton organisms at the surface of this region flourish due to the ample nutrient supply and sunlight. The plankton forms surface films that can slow down the gas exchange.
In order to better understand the processes and their global impact, the scientists will conduct a comprehensive measurement program. They deploy a surface drifter equipped with numerous sensors, which tracks the upwelled water masses into the open ocean. The data will be published by Chief Scientist Dr. Tobias Steinhoff and his team during the ongoing expedition in quasi-real-time, thus contributing to the goal of transparent science in all steps, so-called "Open Science".

The project is supported by the "Free Knowledge" funding program of Wikimedia Germany, the Stifterverband and the Volkswagen Stiftung. It is aimed at young scientists who want to make their methods, research data and publications transparent. In this way, exchange and networking should be strengthened and science and research should be promoted. The basic requirements are transparency, reproducibility and comparability of scientific work.
In the program year 2017/2018, a total of twenty researchers from different disciplines will be supported. Dr. Tobias Steinhoff is one of them. During the forthcoming expedition, he will try out this approach for the first time: "I want to test the idea of open science from beginning to end. I want to make the whole process of preparation, research at sea and data analysis transparent so that everyone has the opportunity to understand and assess our experiments. Of course, during the expedition the workload will be higher. But this will pay off after the cruise in the analysis."
While being at sea, Dr. Steinhoff will not just keep his lab diary—his team will also report in a blog about its work. Here they get professional support by photographer Lisa Hoffmann. The results of the expedition will later be published in open access journals.

Face and neck lifting are surgical procedures that attempt to reverse the effects of aging on the face and neck. This surgery usually involves the removal of excess skin and a deeper layer tightening to achieve a smooth contour.
Signs of aging can cause the face to appear tired or sad. Because our faces are our most visible feature, patients are typically interested in a smoother, more youthful appearing face and neckline.
Dr. Wilensky's goal during face and neck lifting is to create this appearance in the most natural way possible. During his consultation with you, Dr. Wilensky will discuss your goals and the results you would like to achieve in order to determine whether a face and neck lift is an appropriate procedure for you. This dialogue is invaluable is creating the most positive outcome for the patient. Dr. Wilensky thoroughly evaluates his patients to determine the exact strategy to best achieve each patient's goals in face and neck lifting. No one procedure suits every patient. The surgery must be exclusively designed for each person seeking this particular method of acquiring a more youthful look.
The entire face and neck is examined to assess the quality of the skin, the underlying tissues, and the facial bone structure. The contribution of each of these factors to the facial appearance is important, and must be an integral part of the surgical planning. This speaks to the highly individualized nature of these procedures.
The best candidates for a face and neck lift are women and men who are in good health, desiring a more rested look and youthful appearance. A face and neck lift can achieve that. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia, and typically takes five to six hours. Dr. Wilensky performs the face and neck lift in his office-based surgical facility. The majority of patients are able to have this procedure as outpatients, and can return home the same day.

Ideas for Reforming "Global Environmental Governance"
By Keith R | January 13, 2007
Topics: Environmental Governance, Environmental Protection | No Comments »
When the Governing Council (GC) of the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Global Ministerial Environmental Forum (GMEF) meet in Nairobi in February, the theme will be "Globalization and the Environment and United Nations Reform." Thus it seems timely to (finally) finish and release this entry I started a few months back.
In September 2006 the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) released a publication which I have added to the Temas Actuales Recommended Reading List. Entitled Global Environmental Governance: A Reform Agenda, the report examines the "the sum of organizations, policy instruments, financing mechanisms, rules, procedures and norms that regulate the processes of global environmental protection" — or global environmental governance (GEG), for short — explains its evolution, analyzes its perceived shortcomings, and makes recommendations on how to improve it.
GEG encompasses not only the some 500 existing multilateral environment agreements (MEAs) — for example, the Basel Convention (hazardous waste), MARPOL (marine pollution), Kyoto Protocol (climate change), Montreal Protocol (ozone-depleting substances) — but also other types of agreements with environment components, and the many United Nations and other bodies created or mandated to work on environment issues.
If you deal with international environment issues at all, this book provides some worthwhile food for thought. For someone like me who deals with environmental policy in the context of Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), the health and future of GEG is critical. Many of the region's governments probably would not act as soon or as strongly (if at all, in some cases) on many of their environmental challenges without the steady pressure of their international commitments [for a snapshot of which nations have signed onto which environmental commitments, see my LAC ratification chart]. Some politicians and proud nationalists might deny that is the case, but most of us working in environmental protection in the region any length of time know it to be true.
The report identifies six principal challenges the authors feel should be addressed by any reform attempts:
- The proliferation of MEAs and fragmentation of GEG;
- Lack of cooperation and coordination among international organizations;
- Lack of implementation, compliance, enforcement and effectiveness;
- Inefficient use of resources;
- GEG outside the environment arena (for example, environment issues discussed within trade talk contexts);
- Non-state actors in a state-centric system.
The report suggests that any GEG reform be based on the following premises/understandings:
- There is a clear and urgent need for GEG reform.
- GEG reform likely would be more effective if accompanied by system-wide UN reform.
- The system need not be entirely dismantled to be rebuilt. Some things it already does well, and others that show promise, should be encouraged and built upon, not scraped.
- Grandiose schemes for massive overhaul of the GEG system are neither desirable nor realistic. Targeted reform, fixing only what needs fixing and can actually be fixed, is better.
- While short-term reform steps should focus on the necessary, desirable and doable, they should be taken in the context of a broad articulated context of what we would like the GEG system to eventually look like.
Any GEG reform effort, the report argues, should focus on five principal goals:
- Leadership:
- The GEG system should grasp the attention and visible support of high-profile political leaders.
- The key institutions within the system should be managed by leaders of the highest professional caliber and international repute; all working together towards the best interests of the GEG system as a whole.
- The selection process should be streamlined, transparent and subject to consistent criteria that emphasize both political and managerial skills.
- Candidates should not be limited to persons nominated by governments.
- Candidates should articulate their visions for the agency before being picked.
- Consideration should be given to appointing a single individual to be executive of more than one related organization, particularly with regard to MEAs which have overlap or synergies.
- Once elected, leaders should be given the independence and resources to lead their organizations with, and toward, excellence.
- Knowledge:
- Science should be the authoritative basis of sound environmental policy.
- The GEG system should be seen as a knowledge-based and knowledge-producing system.
- UNEP should become a preeminent convener and catalyst of authoritative, cross-cutting and relevant science on issues related to the global environment. UNEP should establish the independent position of Chief Scientist to coordinate this effort.
- There is an urgent need to integrate the scientific and technical advice (STA) bodies of the various MEAs, and depoliticize them by returning them to their original intended composition — scientists, not negotiators.
- Coherence. GEG should operate as a coherent "system" with reasonable coordination, regular communication and a shared sense of direction among its various elements. Useful steps would include:
- Stop proliferating the "ministerial level" meetings and forums (weakening the currency of "ministerial level") and instead make GMEF the principal regular forum for high-level political decision-making on issues related to GEG.
- Stop the proliferation of MEA secretariats. There is no need for a new forum for every new environmental issue.
- UNEP should become the hub of UN system work on the environment, focusing on broad policy coordination and science, but leaving project management to specialized agencies.
- Existing MEA secretariats should be clustered and donors should provide incentives for the secretariats to seek clustering.
- Performance. The institutions that make up the GEG system should be well-managed; they should have the resources they need and should use these resources efficiently; and they should be effective in implementation.
- GEG institutions should focus less on improving member state negotiating capacity and more on their policy development and implementation capacities.
- More MEAs should have compliance committees.
- UNEP needs a management overall and should be given a stable funding source.
- MEA reports and communications should be streamlined and clustered. Some of the independent national reports currently required can cost up to US$500,000 to prepare, leading to personnel in environment ministries/agencies in smaller states spending too much time and money on preparing reports rather than getting results to report.
- Mainstreaming. The GEG system should seek to incorporate environmental concerns and actions within other areas of international policy and action, and particularly so in the context of sustainable development.

I rarely go back to Hackeny these days.
I used to live around there when I first moved to London. But now I've moved West, it takes me about an hour to get there – with tube! I need a very good reason to venture that far!
Now I have it: Skin & Sanctuary. It's a new skincare clinic in the heart of Hackney, near the beautiful Victoria Park.
The name couldn't be more fitting. I've had my fair share of facials at different clinics and they were all good and professional – as you would expect. Skin & Sanctuary is all that and more.
Forget the clean, minimalistic look of most clinics. Skin & Sanctuary has a homey decor and cozy atmosphere. You feel like you're visiting a friend.
Forget about standard treatments, too. Whether you go in for a facial, a filler or whatever, they tailor the treatment to your own specific needs. You may even get a massage! 😉
Yet, their treatments all based on science. If studies say a treatment doesn't work, they won't offer it. They also don't hesitate to tell you if its' too soon to get that new treatment you read about in Marie Claire. Skin & Sanctuary is all about bespoke treatments that work for you, not the latest fad to make a quick buck.
What bespoke treatment I had, you ask? HydraFacial.
Why I Chose HydraFacial
As soon as I heard of HydraFacial, I knew I had to try it. It's basically an one-stop shop for all your skincare woes.
The Hydrafacial is a non-invasive treatment that features several stages, each one designed to targeted a specific concern:
- Cleansing and exfoliation: a gentle lactic acid serum gets rid of dirt and dead skin cells, leaving skin smoother and brighter
- Brightening agent: a gentle blend of salicylic and glycolic acid further exfoliates the skin and unclogs the pores, prepping skin for the next stage
- Extraction: more salicylic acid to unclog those pores while the suction technology hoovers away blackheads
- Hydration: a cocktail of hyaluronic acid, peptides and antioxidants to deeply hydrate and plump up skin
- Rejuvenation: red and infrared LED light reduces redness and boosts the production of collagen
This is just the basic treatment! Your aesthetician can tailor it to your needs by adding an extra booster or two!
All these goodies are delivered into your skin with the help of Vortex technology, an unique suction and delivery system that helps dislodge impurities from the skin and deliver goodies much deeper into it. The tip of the device looks like a vortex and is changed between every step.
The best part? NO pain and NO downtime.
Let's Put It To The Test: Personal Use & Opinion
I thought I was having a basic HydraFacial but I got a lot more!
As soon as I entered the room, I started chatting with the lovely Fatma about my skincare regime. She wanted to know about my skincare habits, what products I use and what my concerns were so she could tailor the treatment for me.
We decided she would fit an extra Vitamin C mask into the treatment and told me she likes to give her clients massages while they wait for it to work its magic. Ladies, I was hooked.
I'm used to getting facials but have one tailored to my specific needs and with an extra massage thrown in? This must be heaven. 😉
The first step was cleansing and exfoliation. Gotta get all that dirt off your skin if you want the skincare treatment to work its best. Those actives need to penetrate the skin not stay on the surface because they can't get through a wall of debris!
Fatma used Activ4, a solution with lactic acid and glucosamine. Lactic acid is a gentle exfoliant that dissolves the glue that holds skin cells together so they can slough off. Glucosamine is a multitasker with anti-aging and anti-inflammatory properties: it hydrates and soothes skin, reduces the appearance of wrinkles and can even help fade dark spots.
This combo removed every last trace of dirt and impurities from my skin and softened sebum. Extracting those annoying blackheads would be easier now.
Fatma is the Queen of Acids. I kid you not. She's obsessed with them, loves to play around with them and uses them religiously. You just need to take a lot at her flawless face to see it's paid off.
But she also knows how dangerous they can be. My skin is pretty used to acids but, having had another facial just one month before, she decided to give me only a mild dose of glycolic acid. As I had a few blackheads, she combined it with salicylic acid too.
Glycolic acid is an anti-aging superstar that exfoliates skin, boosts collagen and hydrates. Salicylic acid does the exfoliating job too, but takes it a step further. It also gets inside the pores, exfoliating them from within.
Fatma left the peel on my skin for a few minutes. As I said, my skin is used to acids so I didn't experience any tingling or irritation. If it's your first time, a little of that is to be expected. Just tell your aesthetician if it stings so she can remove it pronto.
I'm lucky I rarely get pimples (especially since switching to the low-glycemic diet) but I had a few stubborn blackheads on my nose and upper cheeks.
Fatma infused my skin with a concoction of salicylic acid and honey extract to soften the damn things so the vortex extractor could easily suck them out of my skin.
I much prefer this method to manual extraction. It's quick. Totally painless. And not at all gross. I know some of you take a weird pleasure in seeing all that gunk come out of your skin but I'd rather not see all that crap that was trapped in it, thank you very much.
In a few minutes, all blackheads had disappeared. Now if only it were that easier to get rid of them at home too!
I almost fell asleep at this point.
Fatma applied a Vitamin C mask on my skin. We're both huge fans of Vitamin C. This super antioxidant fights free radicals, boosts collagen, brightens skin and fades dark spots.
Again, Vitamin C may slightly irritate your skin if yours is sensitive or you've never used it before. I've been using it for years so I knew there was nothing to worry about. 🙂
That's not what made me fall asleep, by the way. As we waited for the mask to do its thing, Fatma gave me one of the most relaxing massages I've ever had. It was AMAZING.
She didn't have to do it. She just doesn't like to leave patients alone for the few minutes the mask is on as it's standard procedure at most clinics. It's small things like these that keep you coming back.
Wait, what about hydration? Isn't this thing called HydraFacial?
The waterfall of moisture comes at the end. Fatma applied a solution with antioxidants and hyaluronic acid to my skin. Hyaluronic acid is a moisture magnet. It draws water from the environment into the skin to keep it hydrated. It's so powerful it can build up to 1000 times its weight in water! It hardly gets more hydrating than that.
In the meantime, the antioxidants started patrolling my skin for free radicals to destroy before they can cause wrinkles.
This pampering treatment is almost over. As the last step, Fatma used red and infrared LED light on my skin. This light reduces redness, boosts collagen and even helps your skin produce more Vitamin D.
Wait, there's one last step: sunscreen. Although it was almost sunset, Fatma still applied a generous dose so those last few rays wouldn't hurt my skin.
The Results
I swear my skin has never looked better. After the treatment, it was a lot softer and smoother. It was politely glowing. And not the tiniest blackhead in sight.
I also noticed my skin looked plumper and the fine lines on my forehead less visible. What really impressed me is that these effects lasted for more than a few days. It's been a month now and my skin still looks more youthful than when I went in.
I believe this is due to the bespoke treatment. Most clinics give you the standard treatments, which work well. But everyone one of us has slightly different skin types and needs so tweaking the protocol to address them will always give you better results.
The only question now is, should I move back to Hackney? 😉

"Healthy". Does this word fill you with dread? Do you need another reason to get healthy and kick those New Year's resolutions into high-gear? Did you know that being a healthy weight not only provides benefits such as more energy and higher confidence levels…it can also save you money? It's TRUE! Did you know that only approximately 57% of people have any Life Insurance at all? Of people surveyed, the primary reasons life insurance is purchased is for final expenses, income replacement and covering a mortgage, respectively. Any yet, as we just saw above….many people do not have Life Insurance at all (and another large percentage do not have enough coverage to protect these areas).
The primary concern that people present when selecting Life Insurance coverage limits is cost. In fact, a survey done in 2014 reported that 63% of people thought it would be too expensive to purchase Life Insurance.
So what if we could give you the secret to meet your New Year's resolutions AND save money on your Life Insurance? Don't believe me? How about a testimonial from a client who is in YOUR position? Check his experience out below:
"Well, here we are, 45 days into the new year…I wonder how many people still have the motivation to get in shape or lose weight.
I have recently started "shopping around" for life insurance and what I have stumbled across is nothing short of amazing. I am a 48 (soon to be 49) year old, husband and father of 2 great boys. I have freed up a fixed amount of money that I can spend to close the gaps in my life insurance coverage.
I am healthy enough to be able to be underwritten by most companies out there, but all companies are not the same. For the amount of money that I have to spend I have been quoted as little as $300,000 and as much as $800,000 across a few different companies. That's a huge difference especially when you are talking about protection for my family in the untimely event of my passing. Obviously, I want as much protection as possible.
Here's the interesting part…If I lose 10 lbs, I will receive a more favorable rating from the insurance companies…all of them..if I am a more healthy weight. In one scenario, at my current weight, for a fixed amount of money, I was eligible for $325,000 worth of term life insurance…with that same company, I would be eligible for $500,000 if everything else was equal and I was 10 lbs lighter.
With a different company, I was eligible for $800,000…same premium, 10 lbs lighter…From the lowest amount of insurance that I was eligible for to the highest amount there is a $500,000 difference in death benefit…for 10 lbs.
IF that is not enough motivation to get to a healthy weight, then I don't know what is…
All companies and all policies are not the same…ask questions, get educated…get the most for your money!"

debunking the myths –
arguments against
Some critics have come out vocally against carbon tax and rebates. But their attacks on the policy are quite misleading. Let's examine their concerns, point by point. In particular, opponents seem to be (intentionally) ignoring the fact that all the money from the tax is returned to households, leaving the vast majority of households better off financially. There are legitimate critiques of the policy – and we have ways we'd like to see it improved too.
what opponents are saying
The carbon tax is just an excuse for the government to take more money out of hard working Canadians' pockets to fuel out of control government spending.
This is misleading. The vast majority of households will be financially better off because the government is returning 90% of the tax directly to households (the rest goes to businesses and nonprofits). The average Ontario family will get a $307 rebate in April (and will pay $240 in increased gas, heating and other costs).
Canadians can't afford a new tax that will make driving to work, heating your home and buying groceries more expensive.
This totally ignores the fact that the government is giving 90% of the funds back to Canadian families as rebates. Most Canadians (8 in 10) will be better off–receiving more in rebates than they pay in extra costs. Canadians deserve the whole truth–climate change is too important to play political games like this.
The carbon tax will kill jobs and hurt our economy by unfairly imposing a new tax on small business.
Carbon pricing is universally considered the lowest cost way to address climate change. By returning money to households and businesses, the economic impact will be minimal. In fact, a carbon price can spur economic growth in some fast-growing sectors like clean energy. Despite what politicians say, many businesses across Canada support it including the largest business group in Canada representing 200,000 businesses of all sizes.
The carbon tax will do nothing for the environment, all it does is hurt Canadian families.
Carbon pricing around the world has proven to reduce fuel use and change behaviour. In BC, which has the fastest growing economy in Canada, carbon emissions are up to 15% lower than they otherwise would've been. The government is also rebating 90% of the money back to households, leaving 8 in 10 families better off. Carbon pricing is fair and effective.
When the Prime Minister talks about polluters, he's really talking about commuters. Whether you're doing errands, going to work, or driving your kids to hockey, you'll pay more at the pumps.
You will pay 4.4 cents more at the pumps in 2019 so that is true, but 90% of this money goes back to families. That means 8 in 10 families are actually better off with carbon rebates.
Do you really trust the government to address climate change without costing you more money?
Under the government's federal carbon pricing law, they are legally obligated to return carbon rebate money to you. The government has announced that the first carbon rebates will be coming to provinces where the price is implemented in April, you'll be able to see the rebate as a line item on your tax return.
Canadians can't solve climate on their own–we shouldn't have a carbon tax until countries like China and the United States start taking real action.
The effects of climate change affect all of us. We agree that all countries should be taking action and that Canada must do its part too. Countries who emit as much carbon as Canada or less represent one third of all global emissions, so Canada and other countries like it need to be part of the solution. Further, China and the US are acting, just not quickly enough. The US has carbon pricing in 10 states representing 1/3 of its economy, and China has implemented a carbon price in its power sector. It's time for Canada to show leadership, and to do its part to help the world tackle climate change.
Trudeau's giving special deals to big polluters while charging you the full price of the carbon tax.
Polluters are charged the same #carbonprice as individuals. There are rebates going to certain emitters, just like households, because they export products and it will help keep Canada competitive while fighting #climatechange. Far from being a policy loophole, the rebates to industry are a key way to ensure our export industry stays strong.
Not only is the government charging you more at the pumps and to heat your home, but you'll have to pay GST on their new carbon tax.
We agree that in an ideal scenario the GST be returned to households as well. While this was difficult for the government to do in year one, we would like to see them do this in future years.

1 Peter 1:13 So prepare your minds for service. With complete self-control put all your hope in the grace that will be yours when Jesus Christ comes.
Get Your House in Order
Download audio file
It's funny how we're prepared to make sacrifices in life to achieve the goals that we want to achieve, but then, when following Jesus, when serving Him involves sacrifice, we become all disheartened and so life just drifts along.
There's not a single thing that I've achieved in my life without being focussed. I'm sure you're the same. If you want to, say, lose weight – you have to focus on what you eat. If you want to get fit, you have to focus on your exercise. If you want to graduate from school or university, you have to focus on your studies.
If you want to play the piano … you're getting the picture, right? And as surely as night follows day, there's no focus, without sacrifice.
If you set out to achieve anything, you're going to have to sacrifice something. It's true in every area of our lives. And it's equally true when it comes to living a life of victory, in Jesus Christ.
Being a disciple of Jesus' involves focus and sacrifice. Lose that and discipline flies out the window. You wander through life, falling prey to every temptation and living out the consequences.
1 Peter 1:13 So prepare your minds for service. With complete self-control put all your hope in the grace that will be yours when Jesus Christ comes.
So, if your life just at the moment isn't all that you'd hoped it would be, it's time to get your house in order. Prepare your mind for service. Get focussed on what really matters. Make the sacrifices that you need to make, to get your life back on track.
The moment you do, Jesus will do everything in His power to help you get it together.
Prepare your mind for service. Get your house in order.
That's God's Word. Fresh … for you … today.

"They are dropping like a stone," warns one European credit strategist as signals from the bottom of Deutsche Bank's capital structure signal a "huge increase in the potential for a coupon skip."
With DB stock tumbling towards record lows again...
Back to an EUR11 handle...biggest drop since Brexit
Bloomberg reports, the bank's 1.75 billion euros ($2 billion) of 6% additional Tier 1 bonds, the first notes to take losses in a crisis, are crashing... as the world's most systemically dangerous bank faces existential problems once again.
Deutsche Bank AG's riskiest bonds plummeted after the German lender received a $14 billion claim from the U.S. Justice Department to settle an investigation into the firm's sale of residential mortgage-backed securities.
"They are dropping like a stone," said Tomas Kinmonth, a credit strategist at ABN Amro Bank NV in Amsterdam. "The fine, even if reduced, could surpass all provisions held by the bank."
Interest payments on additional Tier 1 bonds can be switched off if a lender runs into trouble and Germany's biggest bank has the least available distributable funds among banks in Europe, according to CreditSights Ltd. The bank said in March it had 1.1 billion euros available to pay AT1s for the year.
"Anything above $10 billion will make things very difficult for them," he said. "This is unequivocally bad for their AT1s. It hugely increases the potential for a coupon skip."
Then who's next?
As we previously conclude, considering two of the three most "globally systemically important", i.e., riskiest, banks just saw their stock price scrape all time lows earlier this week, we wonder just how nervous behind their calm facades are the executives at the ECB, the IMF, and the rest of the handful of people who realize just close to the edge of collapse this world's most riskiest bank (whose market cap is less than the valuation of AirBnB) finds itself right now.

It's 4:37 in the morning and I am almost all here.
Listening for the heavy sound of the fan kicking on,
muffling the thuds of the delivery truck unloading fruit,
the rumbling, irregular traffic on Mill Road,
the inexplicable banging in the hallway which will
probably wake the dog and start him whining again,
I brace for your first touch. Always coming these days
just before daylight, always alighting on one of three places.
Staring at the circular stain on the ceiling, I see the inevitability
of your progress like I sense the sound of my own voice
from inside my head. Very soon, your arms will frame my
arms, my legs will gird your legs, and I will hear again
the words you also said to her. Wanting to tell you only things
that are true, I'll swallow my words as they come to me.

The following is a high-level summary of the disclosure obligations and foreign investors' shareholding restriction applicable to the trading of Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) Securities or Shenzhen Stock Exchange (SZSE) Securities under Stock Connect.
Both Interactive Brokers, in its role as a China Connect Exchange Participant, and investors trading SSE/SZSE Securities through Interactive Brokers are required to comply with these requirements.
I. Disclosure Obligation
- When an investor holds or controls up to 5% of the issued shares of a Mainland listed company, the investor is required to report in writing to the China Securities Regulatory Commission ("CSRC") and the relevant exchange, and inform the Mainland listed company within three working days of reaching 5%.
- The investor is not allowed to continue purchasing or selling shares in that Mainland listed company during the three day notification period.
- For such investor, whenever there is an increase or decrease in his shareholding that equals or exceeds 5% of the existing holdings, he is required to make disclosure within three working days of the change. From the day the disclosure obligation arises to two working days after the disclosure is made, the investor may not buy or sell the shares in the relevant Mainland listed company.
- If a change in shareholding of the investor is less than 5% but results in the shares held or controlled by him/her falling below 5% of the relevant Mainland listed company, the investor is required to disclose the information within three working days of the event.
II. Shareholding Restriction
- A single foreign investor's shareholding in a Mainland listed company is not allowed to exceed 10% of the company's total issued shares, while all foreign investors' shareholding in the A shares of the listed company is not allowed to exceed 30% of its total issued shares.
- When the aggregate foreign shareholding of an individual A share reaches 26%, SSE or SZSE will publish a notice on its website.
- Once SSE or SZSE informs the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (SEHK) that the aggregate foreign shareholding of an SSE or SZSE Security reaches 28%, further Northbound buy orders in that SSE or SZSE Security will not be allowed, until the aggregate foreign shareholding of that SSE or SZSE Security is sold down to 26%.
- If the 30% threshold is exceeded due to Shanghai Connect or Shenzhen Connect, HKEX will identify the relevant China Connect Exchange Participant and require it to follow the forced-sale requirements, whereupon the foreign investors concerned will be requested to sell the shares on a last-in-first-out basis within five trading days of notifying the relevant China Connect Exchange Participant.
III. Additional Information

Fish Report-Freshwater, Oct. 13
TOP NEWS: Fishing pressure remains very light and the reports have been scanty. Overall, the bite has just been slow to fair. Brookies and browns in area lakes are stacked up at stream mouths and moving up into streams for the spawn. For bait and lure anglers, the top bets in the region have continued to be the Virginia Lakes, which is continuing to show a lot of holdover fish, Twin Lakes at Bridgeport, Silver and Grant lakes in the June Loop for occasional bigger brown trout, Convict Lake continues to produce some nice quality fish, and Bishop Creek and Rock Creek are pretty fair for skilled stream anglers who are getting browns and holdover rainbows. Fly anglers are seeing a good bite in the low flows of the East Walker below Bridgeport Reservoir with most fish 12 to 16 inches but a few bigger. Many are reporting 20-fish days. Crowley Lake is very good for browns, rainbows, and cutthroats with a lot of fish to 20 inches or better. It's also color season in the Sierra with autumn colors in full swing, especially at the higher elevations.
Big fishing of the week: At Convict Lake, Shari Lambert from Riverside landed an 8-4 rainbow on chartreuse PowerBait off the north shore.

LibriVox volunteers bring you 18 recordings of In Memoriam by Ewart Alan Mackintosh (1893-1917). This was the Weekly Poetry project for November 7th – November 14th, 2010.
This week's poem has been chosen for this time of remembrance. Lieutenant Ewart Alan Mackintosh M.C. was a war poet and an officer in the Seaforth Highlanders. His best poetry has been said to be comparable in quality to that of Rupert Brooke. In 1916 he led a raid in which several of his men were killed, one of whom inspired this poem. Mackintosh was himself killed on 21 November 1917.

In Memoriam
Private D. Sutherland killed in Action in the German Trench, May 16, 1916, and the Others who Died.
So you were David's father,
And he was your only son,
And the new-cut peats are rotting
And the work is left undone,
Because of an old man weeping,
Just an old man in pain,
For David, his son David,
That will not come again.
Oh, the letters he wrote you,
And I can see them still.
Not a word of the fighting
But just the sheep on the hill
And how you should get the crops in
Ere the year got stormier,
And the Bosches have got his body,
And I was his officer.
You were only David's father,
But I had fifty sons
When we went up in the evening
Under the arch of the guns,
And we came back at twilight —
O God! I heard them call
To me for help and pity
That could not help at all.
Oh, never will I forget you,
My men that trusted me,
More my sons than your fathers',
For they could only see
The little helpless babies
And the young men in their pride.
They could not see you dying,
And hold you while you died.
Happy and young and gallant,
They saw their first-born go,
But not the strong limbs broken
And the beautiful men brought low,
The piteous writhing bodies,
The screamed, "Don't leave me, Sir,"
For they were only your fathers
But I was your officer.

|November 3, 1880
|EAST CARROLL, Louisiana
|Crime/Violence, Law, Government, Politics
|"Civil War and Reconstruction," Juniata College
|4.33 (3 votes)
A dispatch from Lake Providence, Louisiana has "left little doubt that Dr.Williams B. Jones, the editor of the Lake Providence (La.) Republican, who was foully assassinated at his home on the day after the election, was sent out of this world for the one reason that he was a...outspoken Republican". In Lake Providence's election Gen. FLoyd King, a White Leaguer, was chosen as the Democratic congressional nominee. Despite the fear of a White League-dominated district that was marred with corruption, violence, and coercion, Col B.H. Lanier decided to take the Republican nomination.
Col. B.H. Lanier had served in the Union army and "was everywhere known as one of the most courageous and uncompromising Republicans in the South." Upon consenting to the Republican nomination Col. B.H. Lanier relinquished his position as editor of the Lake Providence Republican to Dr. Jones. Throughout the election these two individuals campaigned fervently while being aware of the risks such campaigning had in regards to their lives. Col. B.H. Lanier confided to a correspondent of the New York Times that, "he did not believe that either Dr. Jones or himself would get through the election without being attacked."
On November 3, 1880 Dr. Jones was assassinated. The explanation many Louisianans gave was that the Doctor was "too radical in his paper, and abused the good people of Louisiana." Many assumed that no investigation into Dr. Jones' murder would ever occur, nor any individuals punished for the crime.
During the year 1874 in St. Landry Parish the White League was founded. The group encompassed mainly former Confederate soldiers and members of the white business elite. The main focus of this paramilitary was restoring white supremacy within the Legislature. As illustrated above, the White League targeted Republican office holders and utilized economic intimidation of black voters during campaigns as well. Unlike other paramilitary groups such as the Ku Klux Klan and the Knights of the White Camellia, the White League attempted to garner the sympathy of the southern news media. While the White League in its original form no longer exists today, its use of force aided in contributing to Southern legislatures being run by southern whites just as they had been prior to the Civil War.

Along with the times, not only technology is developing, but the mode of deception is growing.
There are so many modes that are run by fraudsters, ranging from deceptive to conventional old ways, and deceiving with a more modern mode and certainly very convincing.
Lots of fraudsters in the name of lottery prizes, which in the notification message they send us are always included with the lottery number and of course put a direct link directly to the fake website they have made to convince potential fraud targets.
Maybe not a few of us have experienced something like this, some ignore it and some are tempted by their lure and fall into this fraudulent mode.
What has recently happened is TELEGRAM fraud, and I have experienced this myself, in deceiving them using the following modes.
Pretending to be the operator of TELEGRAM
In this mode they will contact prospective targets, beginning with a question and answer about telegram ownership and what activities are carried out using telegrams, they target telegram owners who use their telegram to trade financially or credit, then suddenly an OTP code message will appear from the telegram, then they ask the code for the reason for validating the ownership of the telegram, after all the information they need is enough, eating the swindler will continue to the next stage.
Channeling TELEGRAM will update features
After the question and answer session is complete, and the prospective target has already told the OTP code to the cheater, the cheater will continue the mode again, this time he tells you that the telegram will update, because there will be an error and for anticipation they tell us not to use or open the telegram for 1 hour in the future. Why do they tell us not to use telegram until 1h in the future? so we cannot know if they are entering our telegram account and committing a crime.
What if we have already entered the trap?
In this case, maybe you who have experienced the incident and already entered into their trap, let alone have experienced it up to the 2nd point, then immediately handle it as follows.
- Change settings by activating the "two-step verification" feature found in the telegram settings, how to enter the "settings> privacy and security> two-step verification" bar
|(Image : www.google.com)
- Forcibly close all activity sessions, where you will close the login activity on all devices that enter using your account and logout by itself, except on the device you are using, by going to the "settings> privacy and security> sessions and terminate bar "then select terminate all sessions.
|(Image : www.google.com)
After securing the above method, you can now breathe a sigh of relief because all login activity sessions in other places have been logged out and all irresponsible parties will no longer be able to enter your account without passing verification that we have activated, and can be ascertained there's no way they can access your account.
From the above, we can take important points, that we should never easily trust anyone who asks for personal information that others ask for, even in the name of operators, vendors and so on.
Hopefully this short article is useful for all of us, please leave a comment if you want to ask about this article.

The Medicines Patent Pool announces new licensee for HIV paediatric treatment
Geneva, 1 December 2019 — On World AIDS Day, the Medicines Patent Pool (MPP) announces a sublicence agreement with Indian manufacturing partner Cipla for the development, manufacture and supply of HIV treatment lopinavir (LPV) and ritonavir (RTV or r) individually or in combination, for paediatric use. LPV boosted with RTV (LPV/r) is recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a component of first- and second-line HIV treatment regimens for neonates and children. "According to UNAIDS, only half of the 1.7 million children living with HIV receives antiretroviral therapy, largely because of the dearth of appropriate formulations adapted for children of different ages and weight bands," says Charles Gore, Executive Director of MPP. "Cipla's engagement with MPP is a very positive sign for all the children living with HIV in developing countries who will soon be able to access this key HIV treatment." The licence agreement signed by MPP with patent holder Abbvie in November 2014 permits generic...

The Medicines Patent Pool welcomes launch of dolutegravir in South Africa
Geneva, 27 November 2019 – The Government of South Africa announces today the roll-out of HIV medicine dolutegravir (DTG). The World Health Organization recommends DTG-based treatment as the preferred first- and second-line regimen for people living with HIV. The Medicines Patent Pool (MPP), through public health-oriented licensing agreements with ViiV Healthcare signed in 2014, has facilitated accelerated access to quality-assured, affordable versions of DTG and its combinations, including TLD, the fixed dose combination of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, lamivudine and DTG. South Africa, benefiting from these access agreements, is the country with the highest number of people living with HIV, with 7.7 million people affected by the disease, and with the largest HIV treatment programme in the world with 4.8 million people already on antiretroviral treatment, largely through the public health sector. "The Government of South Africa has been a leader in the HIV response and a valued partner of MPP for...

The Medicines Patent Pool and Pfizer sign licence for access to key data on investigational tuberculosis treatment sutezolid
Geneva, 28 October 2019 — The Medicines Patent Pool (MPP) today announced a licence agreement with Pfizer to facilitate the clinical development of sutezolid, an investigational medicine for the treatment of tuberculosis (TB). The drug candidate, if further developed in combination with other drugs, could be used to more effectively treat patients diagnosed with TB, particularly multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB). "TB, especially MDR-TB, has become a health security threat and finding new treatments for patients is now an urgent global public health priority. We must accelerate progress if we aim to put an end to the epidemic by 2030," said Charles Gore, Executive Director of the Medicines Patent Pool. "The licence agreement we just signed with Pfizer is key for any organisation willing to further develop sutezolid and make it available for people who need it the most, especially in low- and middle-income countries." Pfizer is granting MPP a non-exclusive, worldwide and royalty-free licence allowing potent...

One of most players' top picks is Jackpot Express, which is an online slot themed around the old steam engines that ran on coal. The game is developed with the layout of a traditional slot machine. Even with such old inspiration, the game manages to carry up-to-date animations that make it an attraction nonetheless.

A popular theory claims the saying originated with an 18th century boxer and "man of excellent physique".
No one really knows why Australians say "happy as Larry" to mean "extremely happy". One theory holds that it originates with Laurence Foley, a boxer and "man of excellent physique" who was born in 1849 and died in 1917. He was paid more than 1000 pounds for his final fight (then a substantial amount of money), which purportedly left him feeling quite happy — hence the saying. Unfortunately, "happy as Larry" was in use as early as 1857, before Foley's time, meaning it's unlikely to have been based with him. Other theories contend it's an abbreviation of "larrikin", another well-known Aussie word. Radio National reports that the phrase has endured because of its heavy use during and after World War I, a profound time in the development of Australian English. (National Library of Australia)

Technology is awesome! While at DFW recently, we decided to rent a movie to watch on our flight to MIA. It was my first tablet-only trip (laptop left at home!) and I wanted to use it as much as possible. Already, the tablet was enabling new behavior; I never watched movies on the laptop because of the battery drain. (Yes, it's a fairly old lappy!) We decided on Argo in HD since it was just $4.99 and we missed it in theatres, and were feeling pretty good about things until we realized that we had two headsets but only one headset port. Bummer.
Quickly, we dashed into an airport shop and overpaid for a little gadget by iLuv. (So much for saving a couple bucks on the movie.) It's a five-way splitter marketed for iPhone, but it works with any device with a 3.5mm stereo headset port, which my tablet has. Presto! We could both use and enjoy.As you can see, there is a hardwired line that plugs into your device. The triangular piece has five ports to plug in headsets / speakers. The sound is great and ease of use is perfect. Perhaps the only drawback is the lack of volume and playback control on the device, and it disabled the volume control on my own headset. Really, that wasn't an issue as volume out from the tablet was sufficient. It's worth noting that there are more expensive versions that do have volume and playback controls. It takes up minimal space (2"x2"x.5") and weighs next to nothing (about 3oz).
While we only needed a two-way splitter, we went for the five-way, which was the same price, so we can use it when traveling with larger groups. We certainly paid a premium shopping at the airport – $24.99 compared to the online price of $14.99 at iLuv, though I've seen it at Amazon for as low as $9.99.
Simplicity of use with great functionality in a small, light package at decent a price (except at the airport!) make the iLuv 5-way Splitter a great addition to our gadget bag. We'd love to hear about what's in your gadget bag, particularly for audio solutions. Let us know with a Comment below.

A person that has decided to use docent Vasil'čuk's services will often encounter the term "applications", which is a simplified one-word denomination for a group of eniopsychological acts leading to affecting people or objects in such a way that a desired positive result is achieved. In these you can find out what an energy-informational application and spiritual relaxation actually are and what their significance for a person is. Information on current dates and locations of applications is periodically updated and available in the Actions Calendar link.
On this website as well as in the following text, terms such as energy-informational applications, spiritual relaxation, and séance are commonly used. For the purposes of this text, the meaning of these expressions is the same and they are interchangeable. The exact name of the séance (application, spiritual relaxation) is: holographic energy-informational polymorphofunctional applications of human subtle bodies.
The publicly open applications are for everyone who has made the decision to attend. The right to attend is not limited by age, health condition, or the socio-economic position of a person. Exempt from this are pregnant women after their 7th month of pregnancy up to the birth-giving, people afflicted with infectious diseases or acute schizophrenia (the aggressive form), people under the influence of drugs or alcohol, mentally impaired people, people incapable of independent activity and children without their parents. These people are intended for exclusively individual applications. Applications can be categorized from several different perspectives.
Detailed theoretical and practical information on this topic can be acquired from the lectures or the Unknown Emotions (Neznámé emoce) book, which provides a detailed description of 2,449 authentic feelings, experiences, and states of 532 attendants of energy-informational applications.

Industry in focus - Branding and Marketing Week 1: ROI - Prove it or lose it
As part of a new in depth series of blogs, SHORTLIST is focusing on Branding and Marketing Agencies. In this, week one of four, we look at how proving Return on Investment can be the difference between new business, and no business.
Why ROI?
Many marketing agencies can't or don't show the Return on Investment of their campaigns. Once projects are completed and the invoice paid they move on to the next, always looking for a new opportunity.
New business is what keeps most businesses afloat, but part of winning is proving what your work has already achieved for clients, and more importantly that it achieved the project's goals.
So where do we find ROI?
Do your account managers automatically have an assessment process scheduled for the conclusion of a campaign? Do they know what they should be measuring? Do they call the customer to ask how they felt the campaign went and what they might do differently next time?
Doing all of this not only enables you to methodically collect all the data you need, but shows you care about the success of your client's business and look forward to working together again. Assuming that you do, of course.
Here's a few more tips to make ROI as important a part of your business as having a sharp sales team, thorough accountants or a responsive IT department.
Start from Day 1
Help your client establish realistic goals for their campaign based on comparable industry campaigns. For reference, read competitor case studies to see what figures they are claiming to have achieved.
Tie the stats to milestones
You will only achieve your goals if you the agency and they the client pull their weight. You need them to make decisions and sign-off your work in time to hit key deadlines. Clarity in both respects will ensure everyone knows why they're important.
Tell your team
Everyone doesn't always know the campaign's goals. Just because it was written in the brief doesn't mean everyone read it. If you're looking for 5000 Facebook likes and 1000 new subscribers then write these on a whiteboard or pin them near the team's desks. That way every task has a clear purpose.
Wrap it up
Report back to the team and the client on the campaign's success. Even if the goals were not hit, giving an analysis of why you think this happened shows you see things through, have not forgotten about the client, and that you care about your work.
Start utilising ROI by calling a recent client for data you can use in a case study on the project.
Make this a calling card for your work, including a testimonial from the client if possible on how thorough you were and how your work directly impacted their business. The strongest case you can make as a creative agency is that your work directly increased sales for the client.
Next week we'll be looking at briefs and why getting them right is more important than ever in a changing media landscape.

Fashion trends from the beloved 80's are making a comeback on the runway... From schoolgirl jumpers to varsity jackets and trenchcoats, we're seeing tons of inspiration from a seemingly simpler but incredibly modish time. One of our favorite parts of the 80's is the outstanding love for bicycles. Bikes were the go-to set of wheels that represented unique personalities, as seen in movies like Pee-wee's Big Adventure, Quicksilver and American Flyers. Bikes were selected and customized, so they could be ridden everyday. Vogue.com took note of this and found that our Ladies' Loft 7i in Green Tea fit the bill.
This bike is designed with simplicity and utility in mind. It's the bike that takes you to all the places you need to get to. The Loft 7i is a reliable commuter that will get you there and back without having to worry about the city's ups and downs, bumps and cracks, or hussle and bussle. Equipped with a 7-speed internal gear hub, fenders, rear rack and lightweight aluminum frame, this bike is prepped and ready to go. Not to mention, the color is subtle (yet different) and pairs well with the brown and silver accents of the saddle, grips and tires. Overall, this commuter bike is sleek and clean, but has a feel of nostalgia.
Read the whole article on Vogue.com here.
The Loft 7i is available at your local Electra dealer.

Most Influential Rock DrummersCriteria: - Drummers are ranked for their influence, innovation, originality, and technical ability.
The Top Ten Most Influential Rock Drummers
Influential... Even if you don't think he's the best (he is) or you like somebody more because you swoon over their band like a teenager, Peart undeniably has influenced more drummers than anyone. If you disagree your just basically blind or stupid. Laugh out loud
1. La Villa Strangiato
2. By-Tor And The Snow Dog
3. 2112
5. Anthem
6. Xanadu
7. Cygnus X-1
8. Fountain Of Lamneth
9. Jacob's Ladder
10. Red Barchetta
Best Album: Moving Pictures (Rush)
Superb, true excellence, top notch musicianship! Listen you all very closely and learn! Feel honored that he was in your lifetime!
How can you not put this guy at one, remember yyz, or spirit of the radio, or tom sawyer, the professor rocks em all
While Peart is more technically efficient than Bonham, Bonham is undeniably more influential. He came onto the scene far before Peart did, and was the first true great Rock drummer. This list should probably go more like John Bonham at first, Keith Moon second, Bill Ward third, and Neil Peart fourth. Again, of those four, Peart is the most technically proficient and undoubtedly has some of the best drumming work in all of rock, but in terms of influence, the other three are just better.
Do I really have to explain why Bonzo's the best?! Listen to Four Sticks, When the Levee Breaks, Rock and Roll, Moby Dick, Achilles Last Stand, Fool in the Rain.
Overrated. That's all I can say. His drumming skills are not particularly impressive at all.
The best of the best ask Jason
1. Won't Get Fooled Again
2. A Quick One
3. Cobwebs And Strange
4. I Can See For Miles
5. My Generation
6. The Ox
7. Bargain
8. Baby Don't You Do It
9. Heaven And Hell
10. Getting In Tune
Best Album: Who's Next (The Who)
Usually competes for the #1 spot with Bonham and Peart. If you compare all three at their peak powers, Moon blows em all away. Unique style which has never been duplicated. Watch him cut loose on Heaven and Hell from the 1969 London Coliseum show.
He is the Jimi Hendrix of the drums-- he set the standard
Neil is from the 80s who do you think he looked up to
Ian Paice, by far my favorite drummer of all time! I saw him once in 2017, and I'm going to see him at the tons of rock festival 2020 as well. And I've gotta ask about one thing, how is Travis Baker on this list? Just because he can play a bloody 4/4 beat doesn't mean he's one of the best drummers of all time, my vote goes to the master Ian Paice, because that's a guy that really can play drums. I almost clicked on phil collins, but Ian (in my opinion) is slightly better, so don't take it the wrong way Phil but, you get a 2nd place.
The greatest drummer over forty years still the best
He's amazing and VERY underrated
Simply the best
Great drummer, songwriter and singer. He has 4 octave vocal range, and his falsettos...I just can't...
Simply the best, as a composer, frequence, ability and charisma.
He inspired Yoshiki, but why is he below him? Oh yeah, Yoshiki can play piano, too but does he sing high vocals like Roger does?
He is the best drummer in the world, because he is not only drum player, but he is also the best musician in the world. With out Freddie, he still alive in the music scene!
HE IS LITERALLY THE MOST INFLUENTIAL DRUMMER OF ALL TIME. He pioneered the Double Bass Drum, he invented the Drum Solo, and he changed the face of drumming. He should be #1. Without Baker, drummers like Bonham and Peart WOULD NOT EVEN BE AROUND. Peart even said that Baker was the ultimate inspiration for him drumming. Before Baker, Drum beats were pretty boring, just basic beats. But when he came around, drum beats transformed. You can't ignore him. He deserves #1, not #19.
1. Toad
2. Do What You Like
3. Rollin' And Tumblin'
4. White Room
5. We're Going Wrong
6. Sunshine Of Your Love
7. Sitting On Top Of The World
8. Tales Of Brave Ulysses
9. Those Were The Days
10. I'm So Glad
Best Album: Fresh Cream (Cream)
Just Great!
One of the best!
I ilke how he brings reggae into rock
1. Stream Of Consciousness
2. Constant Motion
3. Erotomania
4. Dance Of Eternity
5. 6:00
6. Paradigm Shift
7. Acid Rain
8. In The Presence Of Enemies
9. Lie
10. Metropolis, Pt. 1
Best Album: Awake (Dream Theater)
He plays the hardest drum parts in his solos and songs
Mike Mangini was an equal replacement for him though
The Contenders
This is a joke right
He made headlines, when he appeared on the BBC's programme Record Breakers, where he set a world record for the most drums (400) played in under one minute, live on television.
He should be at the top!
1. Raining Blood
2. Seasons In The Abyss
4. War Ensemble
5. Angel Of Death
6. Bug Juice
7. Silent Scream
8. Sewn Shut Eyes
9. Agressive Perfector
10. Praise Of Death
Best Album: Seasons In The Abyss (Slayer)
How is this beast not in the top 5 (at least)?
This man inspired a lot of drummers too. He should be on the top ten.
Green Day
1. Tragic
2. US Drag
3. Duende
4. Spiral
5. Windows
6. Friendly Little Finger
7. The Only Thing She Needs
8. Ms. Pinky
9. Carrying No Cross
10. The Torture Never Stops
Best Album: Situation Dangerous (Bozzio Levin Stevens
You X Japan fans need to calm down and be a little more realistic here. Whether he's good or not, I don't think a lot of people started drumming thanks to him...
Lol 7 you serious? not even in a top 30
Easily, one of the best drummers of all time.
Listen to: Art of Life, Kurenai, Rusty Nail etc.
He is literally the best
Even if you hate rock music, you can't help yourself going "woah" while watching his performances!
He was the first known ever 1 armed drummer ever.
Simply amazing. What the greats do with two arms, he does with one
Def Leppard
I LOVE born to be wild
If anything, he's the opposite of influential. He looks so creepy and plays so repetitively that he makes you want to avoid the drums.
While he was kind of a cocky jerk, he still was an incredible drummer. And anyway, this is about INFLUENCE, not how good the person is. Seriously, without Buddy Rich, Bonzo, Neil Pearl, and Keith Moon would have been COMPLETELY different players.
He's so good, he can be a one-man band and still top all others.
The list says "influential", Lars definitely comes in top 15 in terms of influence on rock/metal drummers today.
This one knows how to rock hard
Yeah? Check the basic dude doing "say the word love" when the rest of the were in diapers. They just never showed ringo and when they get to a few parts he goes crazy like moon but didn't repeat it. He I'd on the cymbal what moon did on the floor Tom but in this 1964 song, Ringo does a fill, just like moon and I'm sure had there been an Abby road 2 (no let it be was recorded first- kills me how. Many don't know that. Ringo influenced many. Do a YouTube search ringo underrated? Song say the word love and that was a decade before all the singers that couldn't play anything, swung the mic around. Zep, who, Beatles wrote stones firstv2 records. Beatles let it be stones let it bleed. Sgt pepper. Stones have something identical. The Beatles changed not only music but politic, the world, governments. Anyone else do that? Paul
Makes about $24, 000 for a 3 minute trip to the toilet.
RIngo is the father of modern rock drummer and, in one way or another, has influenced every rock drummer since the early 60's. Should be at the top of this list.
Why is Ringo below anybody else? Dave Grohl once said that he is one of his inspirations in playing the drums! What a joke!
Nothing special - he is known just because he was a drummer of a popular band. Same for Dave Grohl.
Just saw Carl Palmer last night in Atlanta with Asia anniversary tour. He needs to be much higher on this list, definitely within the top 7. If all the lists have Neil Peart as Number 1 then Carl needs to be very close I said within the top 5 at least. He is a complete machine on the drums!
simply the best, and still going strong
Is a gift from god
This drummer I would recognize from the very fast hit...
Very interesting style
Jimmy? Little jimmy? Here?
1. Beast and the Harlot
2. Almost Easy
3. Bat Country
4. Afterlife
5. Scream
6. Critical Acclaim
7. Blinded in Chains
8. A little piece of heaven
9. Danger line
10. Gunslinger
Best Album:City of Evil
His drum style was the epitome of punk rock and it became legendary.
Longest serving drummer for The Ramones at 15 years. Also a living legend.
The only Ramones drummer to be the sole composer and writer of Ramones songs.
So fast and also creative and he plays for slipknot
I'm usually playing this guy's songs...
This one is most dominant in his band...
Greatest album performance goes to 'Wasting Lights'
He is just the best drummer in a sense that he doesn't play the same beat on any two songs

A startup called Civil Comments is trying to create a civil commenting platform
March 23, 2016 - Uncategorized
Civil Comments – How It Works from Civil Co. on Vimeo.
I'm glad the comments on Boing Boing are civil for the most part. Our readers are intelligent and polite, and it shows. Other websites aren't so lucky. A startup called Civil Comments has designed a commenting platform intended to encourage polite conversation. Before commenters are allowed to post, they must first rate the quality and civility of other posts, and rate their own post, too. Civil Comments uses the ratings to decide what to keep and what to get rid of.
I'm not sure how Civil Comments will deal with the issue of users "punishing" someone who has a minority opinion, even if it is polite and well-expressed. How does Civil Comments keep this from become a "you suck because I don't agree with you" button?
