Northern Broadsides: Freelancers are the lifeblood of the Theatre industry. It's time we put them in the spotlight.
There are just three weeks remaining to enjoy Northern Broadsides' Digital Squad project, which exhibits the diversity of the Northern experience of lockdown, in short films created by freelance artists.
A diverse range of Northern freelancers from Newcastle to Liverpool are in the spotlight in Northern Broadsides' online Digital Squad project, which archives the multifarious experiences of lockdown throughout the North. All pieces were created by freelance theatre artists, a group who have faced unemployment and uncertainty throughout lockdown.
Some campaigners, namely #FreelancersMakeTheatreWork, have called out the 'pitiful funding figure' allocated to freelance theatre artists, who make up 70% of the industry, and have warned that huge numbers of workers will be forced to leave the industry without more support.
Northern Broadsides join the 'Moving Forward Together' campaign, working with Freelancers Make Theatre Work to explore imaginative ways to work with freelance communities, to develop new digital content and to realise the full potential of Arts Council funding. Only half of the current £59m Project Fund is available to individuals, therefore it is only through organisations committing to collaborations with freelancers that this money can be accessed productively.
On the importance of freelance commissions for artists, Artistic Director Laurie Sansom said;
'Digital Squad reflects the huge diversity of freelancers across the North who want to be making work now about this time of crisis and the change that must follow. These voices are sometimes angry, other times vulnerable, often irreverent and always compassionate, and together they create an imaginative record of a society in lockdown. At Broadsides we are looking to support more freelance artists to make work in new ways as we all try to respond to a rapidly changing world'.
The company, when not in lockdown, are famous for producing bold, radical and accessible productions of classic and new plays, and were touring J.M. Barrie's Quality Street when Theatres were forced to close in March this year. Eight additional Digital Squad videos were written and performed by the Quality Street company, including actors Dario Coates, Alicia McKenzie and Jim English.
Notable pieces from the project include a short film telling the story of a clinician whose public and social struggles with wearing her burqa change during the pandemic, written by award-winning playwright, director and producer Marjorie H Morgan. Stockport-based Nana-Kofi Kufuor produced a piece about a social worker and a mother suffering with domestic abuse in lockdown.
Also from Liverpool, blind writer Mandy Redvers-Rowe created SnapShots; a series of films which explore non-visual beauty, creating pictures with words.
On her inspiration for the films, Redvers-Rowe said,
'When we went into lockdown and our everyday landscapes changed so dramatically, my instinct was to somehow try to capture these images, take photographs, snapshots. Pictures tell stories, evoke memories, allow us to re-live specific moments in time. But of course, words can do this as well'
Disabled writer and performance artist gobscure, from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, performed monologues from the back yard of his council flat. Broadsides were proud to present the commission as an example of their commitment to supporting work created by disabled artists.
gobscure said, on the importance of the commission for freelance disabled artists:
'Let's have plural narratives. Let's talk in different ways. Just talking to disabled people, asking 'What can you do? What would you like to? What are you interested in?''
The company have reached thousands of new audiences through their digital work, and are continuing to explore how they can work with freelance artists across the North. They will soon announce a second round of commissions and are asking for donations to enable them to support freelance theatre workers who are struggling to get work amidst thousands of theatre closures. Donations can be made online at: www.northern-broadsides.co.uk/support/
Northern Broadsides' Digital Squad videos are available to watch at northern-broadsides.co.uk/digital-squad until Monday 31 August 2020.
Some very sad news
We are saddened to learn of the deaths of our much-loved supporters and friends, Dame Ingrid Roscoe and Tony Gartland.
Dame Ingrid Roscoe was one of our valued patrons, and Tony Gartland a previous member of our Board. We thank them for their support of the company and send our heartfelt condolences to their families at this difficult time.

Northern Broadsides announce nine winners of £1k commissions for Northern theatre makers
The Halifax-based theatre company continue to create new work throughout lockdown in the form of short videos by a diverse range of Northern actors and playwrights responding to the Coronavirus pandemic.
Northern Broadsides Theatre Company have today announced the nine winners of their Digital Squad commissions, each of whom will be creating new work for the company in response to life in the current global pandemic. The winners cover a large area of the North of England, including:
BBC1 Xtra Monologue competition winner Nana-Kofi Kufuor has previously been commissioned by Box of Tricks Theatre Company, Red Ladder Theatre Company and Oldham Coliseum and will produce a piece about a social worker and a mother, questioning what those in poverty and fear do to survive during the pandemic.
Hebden Bridge, Calderdale
Multidisciplinarty arts company Northern Rascals (under the artistic direction of Anna Holmes and Sam Ford) will create a thought-provoking dance piece highlighting the effects of Covid-19 on young people. The piece will be co-devised alongside young people aged 16-24.
Marjorie H Morgan is an award-winning playwright, director and producer based in Liverpool. Her work explores the theme of 'Home,' and will tell the story of clinician Dr Areema Waqar whose public and social struggles with wearing her burqa changes during the global pandemic.
Mandy Redvers-Rowe, a disabled writer and performer whose work has appeared on BBC Radio 4 and BBC1, will be working with the Quality Street acting company to perform a series of word-pictures demonstrating unique snapshots of the physical and emotional impact of social distancing, taken throughout a world in lockdown.
Writer, performer and director Daniel Bye (Going Viral, The Price of Everything), whose new show These Hills Are Ours was in the third week of a three-month tour when all UK Theatres closed, will be exploring intimacy and contact in a live online performance between two unprepared performers who meet for the first time on camera. This piece is a co-commission with Absolutely Cultured.
Millie Gaston set up her theatre company, Brainchild Theatre, in 2019 which has been supported by Harrogate Theatre, Leeds Playhouse and Arts Council England. Dedicated to creating female-led work, Gaston will be exploring a world connected solely by social media, asking who we become after we spend 2020 hidden behind a screen.
Writer-performer-artist gobscure, whose last play Joey toured nationally in 2019 and was named Best North-East Experiment (British Theatre Guide), will perform monologues from the back garden of a Tyneside council flat, and will experiment with the Japanese notion of tree-bathing.
Lancashire / Leeds
Junior doctor Benedict Hughes and writer Janine Swarbrick will help the public gain an insight into challenges faced by a Junior Doctor on the front line in the fight against COVID-19 in the form of a sonnet cycle about a working day at Leeds General Infirmary.
Alex Slater, Rosie Fleeshman, Stephanie Rutherford and Jack Taylor-Wood from Nothing to Declare Productions will tell the story of a high rise block of flats in the heart of Salford, where residents of Ivory Rise meet online for their monthly neighbourhood watch meeting. A short film examining how quickly fear can turn to blame as 'the new normal' becomes reality.
Northern Broadsides' Artistic Director Laurie Sansom said,
"We were inundated with so many intriguing proposals by 99 talented artists from across the North. It meant it was incredibly difficult to settle on a final nine, but we believe these short films will capture a snapshot of the North in lockdown, and ask some challenging questions about a world that will never be the same again".
This new project comes after Broadsides' UK tour of the J.M. Barrie play Quality Street was halted due to the closure of all UK theatres on 20 March, in the fight against the spread of Coronavirus.
Quality Street, the play which inspired the name of the chocolates that have been made in the company's hometown since 1936, had just arrived at the Liverpool Playhouse when the closures were announced.
The name Digital Squad is fitting, following Broadsides' commitment that each of their touring productions will be co-created with a local community group. Regency rom-com Quality Street, for example, was co-created with five of the factory workers from Halifax, where the chocolates are made.
The actors who were due to perform on the Quality Street tour have each been bringing their talents to the screen throughout lockdown and have posted videos of their own, sharing their own experiences and reflections on lockdown with Broadsides' eager audiences.
The videos range from films about taking inspiration from the nature around us, a grandmother trying to connect with her daughter online throughout lockdown and stories of immigration from Jamaica to the North of England in the 1960s.
All videos are uploaded on Thursdays at

Bottom, left to right: Benedict Hughes, Janine Swarbrick, Nothing to Declare Productions (Alex Slater, Rosie Fleeshman, Stephanie Rutherford and Jack Taylor-Wood), and Northern Rascals (Anna Holmes and Sam Ford)
We are offering nine commissions worth £1,000, aimed at theatre makers struggling to make ends meet in these difficult times. It will be awarded to a diverse range of artists who best represent the entirety of the region and who have a bold and original proposal. Playwrights may wish to write a piece to be performed by our Quality Street acting company, whilst other theatre makers may wish to perform it themselves or use the medium in other ways. For full details on applications please click here.
Updated 24 March 2020, 11am
On government advice, we are currently suspending performances of Quality Street, with most tour venues having announced their immediate closure. The venues will contact those with tickets booked to arrange refunds, although it may be possible for you to donate the cost of your ticket to the theatre to show your support to the industry at this difficult time. Further updates on the rest of the tour will be posted on our social media channels and website.

Northern Broadsides has a long-standing commitment to make bold, radical storytelling that is accessible to all. For the past 27 years, the company has created popular and witty productions in the 'Northern voice', and under its new Artistic Director it is reimagining what the 'Northern voice' means in today's world.

Two years ago, the extraordinary Piece Hall opened for business, a regency piazza returned to its former glory and now hosting major recording artists and other major events. The region is becoming a must-visit heritage destination and Northern Broadsides is playing a key role in this cultural renaissance.

Northern Broadsides to open prestigious Shakespeare Festival in Germany
(Photos by Christopher Krey)
We are delighted to announce that our acclaimed co-production with the New Vic Theatre, Newcastle-under-Lyme of William Shakespeare's glorious tale of antagonistic romance and chaotic comedy Much Ado About Nothing will be opening this year's Shakespeare festival at The Globe Theatre in the German city of Neuss from the 14-16 June.
The prestigious festival– now is in its 29th year – will run in from 14 June to 13 July and will stage 33 performances of fifteen productions from France, Poland, Hungary, England and Germany. As well as the productions, there will be a Shakespeare Day for children, workshops for school pupils and teachers, and introductory presentations for the seven premieres scheduled to take place in Germany and on NRW radio.
Northern Broadsides Artistic Director Conrad Nelson said:
"As we career into continued uncertainty I take some solace in the knowledge that Arts organisations across European and the words of a 400 year old play can still form the foundations for an effective and enjoyable artistic partnership. Northern Broadsides absolutely delighted to be returning to the International Shakespeare festival in Neuss, with our critically acclaimed production of Much Ado about Nothing. Under the enthusiastic leadership of producer Dr Rainer Wiertz The Globe Theatre continues to flourish. My last visit in 2000 was playing the reluctant lover, 'Benedick' in the same play – the memories of which are vivid. In 2019 I return as Director and despite of all, I have no reluctance in hoping that our future cultural liaisons with Europe could be equally as bright."
Dr. Rainer Wiertz, Artistic Director of the Festival added:
"The start of our festival is always a very special event, and we all are eagerly and curiously looking forward to your vibrant, explosive and dashing Much Ado About Nothing. We are very proud that you will participate in this year's program!"
The Shakespeare Festival, which takes place annually in the early summer, is unique of its kind. Fans of Shakespeare's dramatic, turbulent, witty plays make the journey to the Rhine from all over Germany and are inspired by the atmosphere. It's relaxed and uncomplicated and the theatre companies from all four corners of the world contribute to this, bringing international flair to Neuss for four weeks of the year in June and July.
The Globe Neuss on the Rennbahn is a small-scale replica of Shakespeare's 1599 theatre. The intimate horseshoe design brings the audience really close to the action, whether their seats are in the stalls or on one of the two raised tiers. A unique atmosphere is created by the lovingly designed ambiance, with its "(Shakes)beer garden" and its inviting foyer contributing to the festival's very special quality.
The Northern Broadsides and New Vic Theatre co-production is currently on a national tour and will be visiting in the coming weeks Derby Theatre (26-30 March); Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds (2-6 April); Lawrence Batley Theatre, Huddersfield (16-20 Apr), Viaduct Theatre, Halifax (25 Apr-4 May), The Lowry Salford (7-11 May); York Theatre Royal (14-18 May) and Harrogate Theatre (21-25 May).

21st century technology to bring Shakespeare's 16th century drama Much Ado About Nothing to life
Photos by Jenny Harper
21st century technology is bringing Shakespeare's 16th century drama to life in an exciting new project launched by Northern Broadsides and its partners.
A brand new mobile app provides background information, learning resources and even drama exercises based on Shakespeare's language and stagecraft. The app runs alongside the current touring co-production of Much Ado About Nothing by Northern Broadsides and New Vic Theatre. By scanning a map of Messina, where the action is based, students, audiences and lovers of the Bard can "lean in and listen" to the play's back stories, immersing themselves in an interactive, augmented reality tour of key locations from the play.
As they move around the city through the screen of their mobile device, they can watch videos and listen to music, enhancing their understanding and enjoyment of the production, which is set in the 1940s after World War II. The app, which is available at the Apple and Android App Stores, and augmented reality content are the result of a collaboration between Northern Broadsides, Filament Projects, Stute Theatre and augmented reality specialists ooh-AR.
Further to the new app, actress Sophia Hatfield, who is playing Margaret and a member of the Watch in the show, has written A Muddle In Messina, a new storytelling piece aimed at school children aged 4 – 11, which will play in libraries alongside the tour. The interactive map and performance work in tandem to create a world of music, language and so much more. Everyone who attends A Muddle In Messina will receive a printed map so they can enjoy the Augmented Reality content on their very own devices. A pdf of the map is also available at www.norther-broadsides.co.uk. Download the Much Ado About Nothing AR app, print out the map and put it flat in front of you before scanning it.
Northern Broadsides Artistic Director Conrad Nelson said
This Spring we tour our critically acclaimed production of Shakespeare's, Much Ado about Nothing. It's been my desire to explore the effective marriage between digital content and the live theatre experience and I am delighted to be working with Filament Projects, Stute Theatre and Ooh-AR in launching our first interactive, augmented reality app. This will run in conjunction with the excellent Northern Broadsides on-line education pack written by award winning playwright, Deborah McAndrew and a new live show, Muddle in Messina, written by Sophia Hatfield. This production for 4-11 year olds will tour to libraries across the UK. It is an ambitious project that has received support from ACE and generous donations from trusts and individuals for which, many thanks.

The Chesapeake Bay Foundation filed Tuesday to intervene in the re-licensing of the hydropower facility at the Conowingo Dam, which they said is gradually losing its capacity to trap pollutants that enter the bay.
The intervention will allow the foundation to comment to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission as the agency looks to negotiate conditions for the dam with Exelon Corp., which owns the hydropower plant. It also allows foundation officials to sue in federal court if they are not satisfied with the license.
"It gets us a seat at the table," said Beth McGee, the foundation's senior water quality scientist. "Nobody wants to go to court over this."
The dam is located in Maryland, connecting Cecil and Harford counties at the lower end of the Susquehanna River, the largest river feeding the Chesapeake Bay. In the mid-1990s, experts found the Conowingo and two other dams along the Susquehanna trapped about 2 percent of the nitrogen, 40 percent of the phosphorus and 70 percent of the suspended sediment that would have entered the bay from the river, according to the foundation.
But the capacity of the Conowingo Dam to trap sediment has diminished in recent years, foundation officials said. Also, pollutants, such as phosphorus, nitrogen and sediment, escape through the dam on a daily basis and especially during hurricanes and storms, they said.
Tom Zolper, Maryland communications director for the foundation, said there is no specific plan the foundation thinks should be implemented for the dam as of yet. He said the solutions would likely be a mix of dredging out some of the current pollutants in the dam to increase the amount it could trap, among other solutions.
He said there also needs to be an effort to ensure that pollutants are not entering the Susquehanna River upstream from New York or Pennsylvania. He said the issue is being studied by the foundation and other groups.
"There is no silver bullet that we would hope to arrive at," Zolper said, in terms of solutions for the dam.
The foundation also wants the license to address restoring safe passage of various fish from the Susquehanna into the bay, which they said is crucial to recovering fish populations.
The move comes as stormwater management requirements in Maryland are becoming more stringent, causing concern among some municipalities and counties.
Carroll is one of nine jurisdictions in the state that was required to start a stormwater management fee under a 2012 law to pay for stormwater upgrades. The commissioners decided not to implement a fee, and pay for the upgrades with existing funds.
The Carroll County Board of Commissioners also voted in November 2012 to join the Clean Chesapeake Coalition, which seeks cost-effective solutions to restoring the bay. The coalition, which includes six other counties, blames much of the problems concerning the Chesapeake on pollution coming through the Conowingo Dam from the Susquehanna, especially during storms.
In a phone interview Tuesday, Carroll County Commissioner Richard Rothschild, R-District 4, said the Conowingo is a major issue that should be addressed. He said the need to deal with pollution from the Susquehanna was more cost-effective than the stormwater management regulations passed by Maryland legislators.
"I want to see us start using some business sense and apply some real science and real economics," he said.
The coalition filed in June to intervene in the re-licensing as well.
Foundation officials said that while the Conowingo Dam is a major issue in the Bay's recovery, it should not distract from improving stormwater management systems that will improve the bay and other local bodies of water. They complain the issue has been used as a distraction by anti-tax officials.
Latest Carroll County Times
"The licensing issue is one of the many solutions," McGee said in terms of the Bay's problems.

By ScoreLine Desk - July 20, 2020
Manchester: Not even a single delivery was bowled as persistent rain in Manchester washed out the third day's play of the second Test between England and West Indies.
Rain forced players to stay inside their respective dressing rooms with covers firmly in place at The Old Trafford through the day.
West Indies still trail by 437 runs in the first innings and are at 32 for 1 in reply to England's 469 for 9. Through the first two days, Ben Stokes (176) and Dominic Sibley (120) shared a 260-run stand for the fourth wicket.
The visitors had lost the wicket of John Campbell before stumps on Day 2 with Kraigg Brathwaite and night watchman Alzarri Joseph in the middle.
West Indies would be the happier team given they lead the series 1-0 and are on the backfoot in the ongoing second Test. The forecast for the remaining two days is promising, which means there should be plenty more cricket in this Test.
The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) earlier on Saturday announced that pacer Jofra Archer has been fined an undisclosed amount for breaking the bio-secure protocols.
Archer had been left out of the squad for the second Test after he made an unauthorised visit to his home in Hove, a move that was criticised by many.
However, he will be available for selection in the final Test and will rejoin the Test squad on July 21 should he twice test negative for coronavirus during a five-day self-isolation period at Old Trafford.s

California (CA) is the first state to mandate a later school start time for middle and high school students. [The Los Angeles Times]
Senate Bill 328 (SB328) requires all CA middle schools to start no earlier than 8:00 AM and high schools to start no earlier than 8:30 AM. [The New York Times]
- All CA middle and high schools now have three years to make the change. [The San Fransisco Chronicle]
Sep. 2017: SB328 was introduced to the state assembly, but was rejected. [The Sacramento Bee]
Aug. 2018: The CA legislature passed SB328. [The New York Times]
Sep. 2018: Former CA Governor Jerry Brown vetoed the bill, in support of the teachers union and public sentiment. [The Sacramento Bee] Read Jerry Brown's veto here.
Oct. 2019: Current CA Governor Gavin Newsom signed the bill into law. His expressed hope is that the later start time will increase student achievement through increased sleep. [The Los Angeles Times]
CIVICS: Lobbying efforts were critical in helping pass SB328. Supporters of SB328 worked for over 3 years to finally see the law passed. Watch to learn more about lobbying.
SOCIAL: Change to the daily routine is highly disruptive to more than just students. [The San Fransisco Chronicle] Think of everyone involved in running one school day - bus drivers; parents that drop their kids off before they go to work; coaches; after-school programs, even the general community of traffic - later start time for all local schools change everyone in the community's daily schedule, regardless if they have a child attending school.
Consensus not reached
While getting adequate amounts of sleep does increase the potential for cognitive (brain) success, it has yet to be scientifically agreed upon that a later start to school relates to more sleep. [The San Fransisco Chronicle]
Los Angeles Unified District ran a pilot study for two years on a later start time and student achievement. No "conclusive benefits on student achievement, attendance, enrollment or suspensions" were reported. [The Los Angeles Times]
Working concerns
A delayed start in a school day could lead to more stress on parents, who now need to work around dropping their children off at school while also arriving to work on time. [The Los Angeles Times]
Many lobbied against
The California Teachers Association and the California School Boards Association opposed Senate Bill 328, saying the government should not be able to impose a wide-scale change in the school day without the input of local school districts. [The Sacramento Bee]
The California School Boards Association has even argued that later start time is a "luxury" that families in lower socioeconomic status cannot afford. [The Sacramento Bee]
Time is money
As a result of a belated school start time, public buses will need to readjust bus routes, which leads to increased transportation costs. Some estimate it would be an additional $10 million a year. [The New York Times]
Mental health needs
According to a statement from the American Academy of Pediatrics, lack of sleep from students affects their mental health.
Lack of sleep can increase the risk of depression and anxiety. [The New York Times], [American Academy of Pediatrics]
Health issues
Later school hours work in favor of a young adult's crucial sleep schedule.
One of the many changes kids go through during puberty and adolescence include sleep cycles, where they tend to be more alert at later hours of the day due to shifting melatonin levels. [American Sleep Apnea Association]
Recent research suggests that sleep is critical for controlling the expression of genes and the development of your social brain. [Science Daily]
Tired students can result in poor academic performances and even absentee children. [The Atlantic]
Both are a factor that can negatively affect how much federal funding a public school receives. [The Brookings Institute]

According to the CDC, 5 out of 6 middle and high schools in the U.S. start before 8:30 AM. [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention]
Dive into other California bills originally vetoed by the former governor but signed by the current here.
How will later start times affect school sports and other after school activities?
Reflect on the long story of SB328 - from the draft, to debate, to veto and now law. How might this relate to your legislative desires for your community or nation?

Sorry, there are no cars that match your search
I thought I would hate driving this huge, hubristic hunk of Americana – and, to be fair, I did – but it did have unexpected benefits.
For a start, I saw a lot more of Sydney that I have in any other week, as I circled, endlessly, looking for somewhere to park this brash behemoth.
Unfortunately, I work in Surry Hills, where the streets are reluctant to give up space to anything bigger than a bicycle, which meant that, on two days out of five, I had to ring my boss and tell her I was unable to make it in because I couldn't stop anywhere.
I also feared for my safety because a lynching party had been formed by environmentally concerned locals and I felt it unlikely the Hummer could outrun them, even though they were on sandalled foot.
The fact that the tank I'd been lumped with was painted the same colour as the cheese you find on McDonald's burgers wasn't helping my feeble attempts to remain incognito.
Still, I did rediscover parts of my CD collection that had been long forgotten, because the lumpy ludicrousness of the Hummer made me feel like I could only listen to ZZ Top, Def Leppard and Led Zeppelin.
I also discovered that there is nothing particularly wrong with my left knee, thanks to the handbrake, which is cunningly positioned so that it gives you an arthroscopy every time you enter the vehicle.
It's also accursedly difficult to use, which led to the venting of spleen that was probably building up dangerously inside me.
Sadly, that's about it for positives.
Hopeless handbrake aside, the cabin annoyed me from moment one, mainly because it achieves the rare reverse-Tardis effect.
While the Hummer looks big – to engage in mild understatement – it is ridiculously small inside, with less headroom than one of Russell Crowe's hats.
It also feels like you're sitting in your grandmother's living room, because there's virtually no natural light, thanks to the windows – and the windscreen for that matter - being roughly the size of a lunchbox lid.
Speaking of Tupperware, that's what the centre stack of the dash feels like, which comes as a surprise in any $50,000-plus car, but more so when it's one based on a rough and tough military vehicle.
Mind you, I was shocked and awed by how ugly it was, from every conceivable angle. It even has a plastic picnic table glued to the bonnet, for reasons unknown.
Then there's the 400kg the rear tailgate, which is heavy enough to knock any woman foolish enough to mess with it flat on her back.
Oh, and somehow, in their ingeniousness, they couldn't find room for a footrest, so your left leg is always hovering over the clutch.
That is, of course, one of the least annoying things about driving the H3 – the baby of the Hummer range and, thankfully, the only one available down under, thus far.
The fact that it feels as wide as a terrace house is off putting, but things get worse when you try and drive it around a bend.
The Hummer corners like a… well, like a terrace.
The ride is also unfortunately firm and fidgety, yet too soft at the same time. This should be impossible.
Driving over speedhumps can induce mild nausea.
It's also very, very slow, as you would expect from a 2198kg (for the five-speed manual tested, the four-speed automatic is 2303kg) vehicle powered, if that's the word, by a 3.7-litre, five-cylinder engine.
It doesn't take a Newtonian scientist to work out that 180kW and 328Nm are not enough for the task of moving so much metal.
The one thing that a car this intimidating shouldn't be is underpowered.
The manual gearbox also reminded me of my grandfather's old tractor, for some reason.
And yet… while I couldn't think of a single thing to recommend it, everyone else loved the damn Hummer, and it attracted almost exactly the same amount of attention as driving a Ferrari.
Possibly more, in fact, because when you're in a sports car people just hate you from a distance and stare daggers, but in the Hummer, everyone wants to talk to you.
I had one guy walk up to me while I was parked in peak-hour traffic in the CBD and ask where he could get one. As I drove off, he ran alongside me, still asking questions, despite my having refused to tell him any details, for his own good.
Children who drive past you make Christmas-morning faces and whoop "Hummmmmer" out car windows.
It's also the only non-Porsche I've ever been asked to take people for passenger rides in. Mind you, no one was impressed.
With all this inexplicable interest, however, it's no wonder they reckon they can sell 700 of them a year. With prices starting at $51,990, that's not a bad business case.
Then there are the anti-Hummer types, who don't talk to you but glower and think to themselves, what sort of person buys a vehicle like that?
I had to have a t-shirt made up that said: "It's not mine. I am the Stig."
The environmental question comes up a lot, too, and most people were only mildly surprised to hear that, if you run out of petrol, you can actually run the Hummer on shredded Toyota Prius pieces for short distances.
Buying this car shouts: "I'm with John, there's no such thing as global warming".
In fairness, it should be pointed out that the H3's official rated fuel consumption is 13.7 litres per 100km, the same as a Mitsubishi Pajero.
It's also 12cm shorter and sits 1cm lower than a Pajero – but it is 12cm wider.
It does, however, make a Pajero look like Megan Gale.
So, in summation, people are going to buy this car, no matter what I say, because a lot of people really like big things, and other people staring at them.
I think they'd be better off buying Mardi Gras floats, but each to their own.
It might still be relatively early in the year, but we're just about ready to...

Hartl's Ruby on Rails Tutorial
Tell anyone you're learning Ruby on Rails and you'll soon get a recommendation for Ruby on Rails Tutorial by Michael Hartl. After spending 6 weeks working with Treehouse's programing content and building a basic web app, I decided to jump into Hartl's tutorial.
Michael is a former Y Combinator alumni and his tutorial (from now on RoRT) takes you through building a Twitter clone in Rails. It took me around two months to finish 10 of the 11 chapters, and I thought I'd share some thoughts and lessons learned.

The Hotel is in a great location. Every request was answered promptly. Very modest room with limited amenities . The staff was terrific.
The Hotel Condotti runs this off-brand hotel. After hauling our luggage up the tiny elevator to the second floor, we came to realize that we had to go to the other hotel to check in. We had followed the instructions from the welcome email, entered the passcode provided to the safe, and opened it to find no key. We followed up to push the doorbell several times as stated on the posted sign and after a few minutes of no answer, we called the hotel. They informed us we had to go to the main hotel in order to check into our property, which was several blocks away. Upon checkout, we were required to haul our bags to the main hotel again to return our keys. The check in/out experience was overall very inconvenient and we were not clearly communicated the instructions beforehand. As far as the room, it was very average. Clean with sufficient room and a good location, but nothing extraordinary. We also had to call and request our room to be cleaned as they did not show up to clean it as they said they would.
Good value for money
The hotel is in the ideal spot . In the middle of Via del Corso and close to metros and main attractions. We stayed here 4 years ago as the hotel we had booked had water problems. The room was quite spacious so we booked this time . I presume the first time we had been given a superior room as this time although very comfortable bed the room was very small . The arrangement for getting in to the hotel also needs to be changed . We booked in October and were given instructions on how to key in a number to get in the front door , go to 2nd floor open a safe for room key . We did all this and could not get in . Luckily another person staying there let us in to a room with phone to ring the sister hotel Hotel Condotti 300 yds away but it did not work or video phone . Luckily I managed to ring and someone came round to tell us that had all changed and now you had to check in at Condotti . So I stayed in our room and my husband went to check in . This could have been put right with a second message telling us all this before hand . We would stay there again but probably get an up grade to the room and make sure how to check in !

The National Police yesterday urged private security firms in the Kingdom to have their security guards report drug-related crimes that occur in KTVs or nightclubs where they are stationed.
Lieutenant General Lim Sokha Reaksmey, director of the National Police's private security management department, said during a private security guard training programme that the guards can play a supporting role in the country's target to eliminate the use and distribution of drugs in all entertainment centres by the end of the year.
He said private security guards have been given permission to arrest any suspects involved in drug use and distribution, and should report the wrongdoings to the police quickly for legal action to be taken.
"Private security guards, who are stationed at KTVs and nightclubs, are now authorised to take action and stop anyone suspected of committing drug-related crimes before handing them over to our police," Lt Gen Sokha Reaksmey said.
He noted that private security guards, who receive training from the National Police, play an active role in maintaining social order, including protecting the national interest and aiding its development.
"They are trained to aid local authorities to maintain public order and security," Lt Gen Sokha Reaksmey said. "They are extra forces to protect citizens and not only the private firms that they work for."
However, he said the security guards have to operate within the legal framework and not act beyond the scope of their duties.
Lt Gen Sokha Reaksmey said the National Police's private security management department has so far trained 3,000 security guards with professional skills and capacities in accordance with the law.
According to a Department of Private Security Management report, nearly 30,000 security guards work for 244 private security companies across the Kingdom.
The report noted that private security agencies, in collaboration with the police, have worked to prevent over 2,000 crimes over the past three years.
Leng Kim Sreav, operating manager of Security Safety for You, yesterday said his company is aware of the fight against drugs in nightclubs and KTVs.
However, he said his company no longer offers security guards to entertainment venues where they are at risk of being convinced to get involved in the drug business.
"Some of them have been dragged into using and distributing drugs and they caused many problems," he said. "The company has cautioned them about the issue but it is hard to control the situation when they are stationed at such risky venues."
Yong Kim Eng, president of the People Centre for Development and Peace, yesterday suggested that security firms should regularly conduct tests on employees stationed at the locations where drug use is common.
"In order for a private security guard to take action or report a drug-related crime, we must make sure that they are not in cahoots with drug dealers," he said. "If we don't take serious action on this, private security guards could potentially become agents of drug distributors."

If you don't mind doing other people's chores, then TaskRabbit is a great option for making money online. Earn extra income by walking your neighbor's dog or mowing Mr. Smith's lawn. It might seem like not the most lucrative option, but the top taskers reportedly earn as much as $7000 a month, making this a full-time way to make money online for some.
There are quite literally hundreds of clever ways to make money online. From taking online surveys, to renting or selling your old clothes, flipping your iPhone to someone in a different country, and even buying low-cost products locally, just to resell them for a higher price on Amazon. There's truly no shortage of unique ways to make money online.
How can you make a living as a real social-media expert? Practice. Build an audience for yourself before offering your services to others. Determine your target sector, build your own online presence in that community and start making contact with the social-media elite. Twitter is a great place to start. Keep cranking out content and getting it to the right users, and you'll find a way to get yourself hired even in an ever-expanding universe.
By utilizing SEM, it provides you with a great avenue for getting the word out quickly and effectively. If you have the budget, then marketing on search engines for competitive keywords might be the right fit for you. But be prepared to pony up. Keywords can range anywhere from a few cents to upwards of $50 and more. The quality score for any term is reflective of what you can expect to pay for bidding on that keyword. The lower the competition, the lower the quality score and the lower the price.
First off, I'm a blogger so it seems wrong not to mention it, but more importantly, it's a legitimate way to make money. It's quite possibly the least straight-forward way on this list, but it's very doable and it's also quite possibly the funnest way on this list. I love blogging and I know hundreds of bloggers who feel the same. So let's talk about making money blogging and what it really means.
If you know a thing or two about paid internet marketing and are comfortable with Google, a great way to make some extra income as a side business idea is to sign a freelance contract to manage a company's Google Ad Campaigns, and gradually start bringing on more clients as your consulting business grows. Just be sure to brush up on all the right business slang and industry jargon that's pervasive in the online marketing world before you launch unprepared into this side business idea.
I like these ideas! Besides being good ideas in themselves, they stimulate MORE ideas! Some of them reminded me of something I was reading about called Craigslist arbitrage – buying low and selling high on craigslist, kind of like the first part of the old Oregon Trail game, but with washers and dryers and bicycles instead of cases of crackers and horses. Sounds like fun! Anyway, that one about the pooper-scooper business, that works, I know because I was quite successful in the pooper-scooper service I started back in 1988! I've been in the industry for 25 years now, though I don't go out and scoop any more.
How to Get It: You'll need to create a YouTube account and then shoot video either with your phone or a video camera, then upload it to your account. To enroll in the partner program, click on YouTube settings, check the circle next to "Allow Advertisements," then click on "View Additional Features." On the YouTube monetization page, opt in. Generally, you must earn a minimum before you get paid, and YouTube pays monthly — if you don't earn enough in one month, the balance rolls over.
The key to successful Podcasting isn't just racking up listeners in big numbers. It's getting listeners to engage. A small group of engaged listeners is more valuable than a large but passive audience. Specialize in an area of your expertise and constantly remind listeners to participate in your Podcast via social media or your Website. Making money Podcasting isn't easy, but it is possible.
The research and thinking that you do as you work through the business plan will help you refine your business idea and plan for how you will successfully launch yourself into your market without costly real-world trial and error. If your business plan shows you that your idea isn't viable, don't be afraid to shelve it, choose another home-based business idea, and go through the process again.
Build your audience on a course community: If you're just getting started building an audience for yourself and want to leverage communities already actively looking for content you can choose to host and sell your online course on a site like Skillshare or Udemy. These are easy, cost-effective ways to build an audience and test your niche to see if there's demand for it.
First off, I'm a blogger so it seems wrong not to mention it, but more importantly, it's a legitimate way to make money. It's quite possibly the least straight-forward way on this list, but it's very doable and it's also quite possibly the funnest way on this list. I love blogging and I know hundreds of bloggers who feel the same. So let's talk about making money blogging and what it really means.
You'll also need ecommerce software, fulfillment software, worry about warehousing, customer service and refunds. But that's not all. You'll also need traffic. Think search engine optimization, Facebook ads, and other social media campaigns. It is hard work, especially on your own. You could opt for Amazon's platform, which might be an easier route. But, then again, at the end of the day, this is a serious business, which could produce significant profits. So you're either all in or you're not.
Current positions available include business sales representatives, customer service representatives, and bilingual customer service representatives. Positions are available in the US and Canada. You'll be provided with proprietary technology that enables you to securely access applications, so you will be able to support and assist customers with a variety of services and technical needs. You must be at least 17 years of age, have a high school diploma or general equivalency diploma, and have wire connected Internet access.

Featured review: transposable element landscapes in yeast models
Genomics and other large-scale analyses have drawn attention to the potential impacts of TEs on their host genomes. However, it remains challenging to transition from identifying potential roles to clearly demonstrating the level of impact TEs have on genome evolution and possible functions that they contribute to their host organisms. In this new review, author Patrick Maxwell summarizes TE content and distribution in four well-characterized yeast model systems in this review.
Featured Article
Comparative analysis on the expression of L1 loci using various RNA-Seq preparations
The role of DNA methylation in aging has been widely studied. However, epigenetic mutations, here defined as aberrant methylation levels compared to the distribution in a population, are less understood. For this Methodology, our authors developed whole-cell, cytoplasmic and nuclear RNA-Seq datasets from 22Rv1 prostate cancer cells to test the influence of different preparations on the quality and effort needed to measure L1 expression.

DOHA: H E Sheikh Ahmed bin Jassim Al Thani, the Minister of Economy and Commerce, yesterday inaugurated 'Project Qatar 2015' — the 12th International Construction Technology and Building Materials Exhibition — at the Qatar National Convention Centre (QNCC).
This year's four-day exhibition will see participation of 1,130 exhibitors, representing over 2,000 companies and brands and 21 pavilions from 40 countries. Covering 41,500sqm of exhibition space, Project Qatar 2015 stretches across seven halls and an outside area for heavy machinery.
"Project Qatar remains a very important exhibition in the country, and continues to play a pivotal role in the enhancement of trade and commerce. Companies from 40 countries are participating in the exhibition this year, which speaks about the significance of Project Qatar not only to Qatar but also for the Middle East," said the Minister said.
A number of officials, decision makers and diplomatic figures attended the opening ceremony, which featured an exclusive tour of the exhibition. Organisers are expecting footfall of 50,000 visitors by the end of the show.
"By bringing together a huge cluster of local, regional and international companies to Doha year after year, Project Qatar has established its role in bringing about new technologies and experiences, creating partnerships and boosting commercial trade," said Albert Aoun, owner of IFP Group. "In this regard, the success of the exhibition is not only due to the efforts of the organisers, but also to our amazing partners who have so generously assisted us in putting together this memorable event, but most of all, to the support of the Government of Qatar, without which Project Qatar would not be experiencing the extraordinary growth it has seen over the years," he added.
Rashed Nassir Sraiya Al Kaabi, Vice-Chairman of Al Sraiya Holding Group, noted: "We would like to thank all participants who have helped make this event a success, achieving its mission in providing regional and international agents, dealers and buyers the opportunity to network in a suitable, professional environment. Project Qatar has proven to be yet another success with an extraordinary turnout and we look forward to accomplishing a new milestone in the years to come."
IFP Qatar, in collaboration with the Qatar Chamber of Commerce, has introduced this year the Project Qatar Workshop Series. The first day of the workshops kicked off yesterday with three sessions: "The ISO 9001 revision in more detail" & "ISO 14001: 2015 Revision and Transition" by the British Standards Institution Group Middle East WLL (BSI), "Main Issues facing construction companies — a banking perspective" by Qatar Development Bank and "An overview of the GCC Building Materials Industry" & "Manufacturing Investments Opportunities in Qatar" by the Gulf Organisation for Industrial Consulting (GOIC). The following days will include several other topics conducted by large governmental and semi-governmental entities, including the Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy, the Public Works Authority (Ashghal), and Hamad medical Corporation (HMC).

Kiting is the act of grabbing an enemy's attention, then having said enemy chase him or her for a prolonged period through running around the area it is found in.
As the enemy is in constant motion, it will receive little chance to hit its target (and gain TP in the process), nor will it have much of a window to use special attacks.
Kiting tends to be better accomplished when Gravity is applied to the kited enemy. This slows its movement speed, giving the kiter more room to avoid physical damage.
Uses in Party/Alliance Play
In party situations, this strategy is commonly used in BCNM, ENM, or other boss or NM fights as an alternative for standard (stationary, or "straight-up") tanking, or to occupy a second enemy who is highly resistant to Sleep and Bind while the rest of the party or Alliance is engaged with another enemy.
Ninja (or characters with a Ninja subjob) are typically used in these kiting roles, as the most damage an enemy can do while being kited is physical in nature. This damage tends to be easily absorbed by Utsusemi. Kiting in this configuration is most effective against enemies who deal high damage balanced with high attack delay.
Note that this strategy creates a disadvantage for damage dealers using standard attacks, since the kiter is constantly moving—and thus, so is the enemy. This can be managed by having the kiter lead the enemy across each damage dealer's path, just within their melee range, so at least one melee hit (or Weapon Skill) may be used. (In cases where certain attacks make melee with the enemy a greater risk, each damage dealer may use Ranged Attacks to build TP instead, only making melee contact when their Weapon Skills are ready.)
The issue with kiting with Ninja Subjob while others hit your target is how easily you will lose hate. Generally, when kiting without hate-building tools, you do not want others hitting your target unless it is a manaburn-like situation where the target will be killed quickly and kiting only serves as stalling until the damage is dealt.
Uses in Solo Play
Mages (Particularly Red Mages) are also capable of "solo kiting" higher-level enemies through applying Damage Over Time-type magic to an enemy while Stoneskin, Blink, Phalanx and so on are active to absorb physical damage received. The DOT, when reapplied constantly, eventually causes enough damage to defeat the enemy by attrition—though this method is very time-consuming.
Some Red Mages use this method to defeat NMs on their own Artifact Armor quests when no help can be found (most notably for Peace for the Spirit).
