Metal Hammer (UK)

As slayer finally bow out, we go back in time to the drama of their first-ever European tour.

Slayer had begun to attract the wrong kind of reputation in the UK in the late 80s. So, when they came back for their first full UK tour, they made sure that we’d never, ever forget it

- Words: dave Ling

Before turning back the hands of time to Slayer’s first real tour of the UK, we must consider the backdrop to their visit. Back in 1987, thrash was barely out of its infancy. The ‘Big 4’ had already been crowned, but Metallica, Anthrax and Megadeth had released no more than three albums each, and though each band had toured the UK, commercial reward was still in the future. For the average rock fan, the jury remained out on a style of music that naysayers considered a flash in the pan or just plain unmusical. There

September Problems

It's annoying but it's happening. I'm not blogging as much as I want to these days! I had planned out September to be this great month with exciting new posts - hell yesterday and today there were going to be new reviews up - but alas, life is poking me in the rib and asking me to pay attention to it more. So here I am with my lame and generic excuses.
  • University is quickly sweeping me up and rolling me under all it's work. A part of it is me constantly procrastinating, but seriously, I have a stack of assignments and tests to study for. I don't ever find time for anything else more!
  • Lack of time also means I don't get to read much either. I've actually hit a reading slump, and have over 3 books that are currently "on-hold" until further notice. Usually I read on the train ride into uni and back out, but now I just sit there and listen to music instead. This is freaking me out!
  • When I do have time, I'm working. That $$ you know.

I just have to push through these next couple of weeks and shuffle my schedule around so at least I've got some content for you guys. Sit tight because I'm not going anywhere yet.

I just wanted to say sorry and explain the situation, that's all!

Hope you have a great month!

  1. No need to explain yourself or to say sorry :D Good luck with University and conquering your reading slump!

    1. Aww thank you! I'm just feeling so stressed because I really wanted to put my all onto here, but everything is so hectic :(

Stunning Graphic Design Portfolio Examples To Inspire You

Digital Graphic design portfolio

Building a killer graphic design portfolio isn’t simply something you should be concerned about as a student. Throughout your graphic design career, you must consider maintaining, improving, and evolving your portfolio.

The best graphic design portfolios present your work to gain new customers and eventually extend your reach as a graphic designer. Here are a few tips if you’re starting in the business, dabbling in it as a freelancer, or have years of industry expertise, as well as a showcase of the top graphic design portfolio examples.

How to Make a Graphic Design Portfolio

Before we get into graphic design ideas for portfolio building and the precise sorts of projects you should be working on, it’s worth noting that recruiters across the board want to see projects that address real-world problems rather than just seeing nice graphics. They want to know that your designs can address issues. Because your portfolio is a reflection of you, it’s up to you to come up with portfolio graphic design ideas that solve actual issues. But all portfolios require some basics, so here’s how to start building your portfolio.

Get 20% off your first order at Printivity banner ad

Curate your work

A good graphic design portfolio showcases your most significant and stunning work. These should be projects that you’re proud of, including work for well-known customers, and that have had positive outcomes. They should demonstrate the type of work you’ll be able to do for prospective clients and businesses.

Your portfolio should ideally contain your strongest 10-20 designs. It’s also vital that you demonstrate your adaptability to potential clients. For example, if you have the content, it’s a good idea to include both logo design and video animation work in your portfolio.

Choose the right platform

Having a website allows you to organize your portfolio to meet your business needs. For example, you may add sections for ‘Projects,’ ‘About Me,’ and ‘Contact Me,’ so people can browse your material and contact you without ever leaving the site. In the long run, investing in a high-quality website with a custom domain URL will pay off by showcasing your professionalism to potential clients.

Describe your process

When working with clients, each designer has a method, and the sooner a potential client learns about yours, the better. It’s critical that your graphic design portfolio ideas offer context so visitors can discern how you approach difficulties and how you address real-world issues. An explanation of your creative process might also aid a potential customer in determining whether you’re able to handle their project’s scale.

For example, they could be skeptical of your abilities to manage mobile graphic design until they see how you thought and developed the designs for another client’s mobile site on your own. Context is crucial in this scenario.

Make it your own

After you’ve gathered all of the parts of your portfolio and placed them in a digital format, take a break from it for a day or two before returning to it and reviewing your portfolio design. Are you happy with what you have so far? Are these the pieces you want to showcase?

If so, it’s time to put the finishing touches on it by ensuring that your personality shines through in more ways than simply your designs. It’s the words you use to describe yourself and your work, the typefaces and colors you employ, the photographs you include in your profile or other images, and other small details that give people a sense of who you are. You’re selling yourself as much as your work, so make sure your portfolio is truly a reflection of yourself.

Include your CV and contact information

The designer’s résumé is usually included in design portfolios, whether displayed on the site or available as a PDF download. You should list any relevant job experiences, honors, displays, or involvement in industry organizations here. If a potential customer or employer is impressed with your work, they should be able to reach you easily. An email address, social network presence, or a simple contact form on your website can all be used.

Inspiring Digital Design Portfolio Examples

Take note of how these eye-catching graphic designer portfolio examples are arranged and what they include as you navigate through them. For design ideas, pay attention to the layout, colors, fonts, and image selections of these graphic design portfolio examples. As you evaluate your portfolio design for your website, consider black and white, color, bold, soft, full-screen, and thumbnails.

Joasia Fidler-Wieruszewska

Joasia Fidler-Wieruszewska is a Berlin-based graphic designer, illustrator, and art director. Her portfolio is a vibrant display of vibrant colors, full-width graphics, and striking imagery. This graphic design portfolio is exciting and entertaining since it uses dynamic pictures and varied scrolling effects. The desktop version features a left- and right-hand navigation bar that changes colors as you scroll, and the mobile version has a top navigation bar that blends with the desktop version.

Nando’s damn website

For a graphic designer portfolio sample that hits the nail on the head, it would be Nando’s. When it comes to portfolio design examples, this portfolio brilliantly captures the idea that your work is a reflection of yourself! This portfolio is memorable and well-designed.

Never be scared to show off your personal side in your website portfolio, as your personality influences your design process and approach. Nando’s colorful yet elegant style is a testament to correctly showing your brand identification and graphic design talents. To further reinforce his claim of being a damn brilliant designer, Nando ties in the concept of “damn” by deploying chosen repetition of the word with graphic design aspects. His portfolio website perfectly reflects his creative approach to design, graphic design expertise, and general personality.

Alina Rybacka

Alina Rybacka, a freelance art director and graphic designer with a degree in architecture, is based in Poland. “Visual intuition with engineering abilities” is how Alina characterizes her job. Her award-winning portfolio’s clear grid reflects this, with visual emphasis supplied by two separate fonts and solid forms positioned elegantly across its pages.

Eun Jeong Yoo

Let us now have a peek at Eun Jeong Yoo’s captivating portfolio website. Yoo’s digital portfolio is elegant in its highly styled typeface and minimalist web design. Yoo’s design work is undeniably impressive, as is her layout on the website. As you scroll down, each graphic design item reveals a stunning showcase of Yoo’s talent.

Yoo’s work is at the center of attention thanks to its stylish yet simple approach to web design, which it well deserves.

Coventry Leads the Way for ACA

Coventry Uni is celebrating success with Adobe certification - 3 UK Championship Finalists and an Outstanding Centre of Excellence award!
Click Here

Coventry Leads the Way for ACA

Three Coventry University students (and maybe more) will be competing at the Adobe Certified Associate (ACA) UK championship final, which takes place at the computer software firm’s UK HQ in Maidenhead on 10 June. Adobe produces a range of widely used professional software and design tools, including Photoshop, and Coventry University is an approved training centre for ACA certification.

The university has introduced dedicated Adobe modules in the last couple of years to help its students steal a competitive edge in the job market by gaining certification in industry standard software. Since launching, the classes have proved very popular with hundreds of students signing up to take advantage of the accreditation scheme, which the university works in partnership with Prodigy Learning and Adobe Education UK to deliver.

The university has just received a second award from Prodigy Learning as an Outstanding Centre of Excellence and it was here that the finalists honed their skills. Eight undergraduates in total from Coventry University – studying topics as diverse as civil engineering and photography – were amongst the highest scorers in Adobe’s nationwide challenge with three of the top performers going on to compete at the UK final in June.

The winner of the UK final will receive an all expenses paid trip to Texas to take part in the Adobe World Championships in August this year. If one of the three finalists from Coventry University emerges triumphant from the UK competition it will be the second time in two years that one of its students has made it all the way to the world championships.

Joy Monkhouse (Lecturer in Graphic Design, Coventry University), helped establish the university as an authorised Adobe training centre. She said: “Our students have done brilliantly well to make it to the UK finals. It’s a competition that draws a tough field of entrants from across the country so our finalists should be proud that they’ve made it this far.”

“Hopefully one of them will go on to win the final and earn the right to compete in the world championships later this year but no matter what happens I’m sure they will all benefit from the experience and have learnt  skills that will enhance their employability .

About the Adobe Certified Associate World Championship

How Your Communication Can Help Reduce Relationship Tension

by Joe Tabers, CSP

When ineffective communication or communication style between two or more people becomes a reoccurring issue, it can create unnecessary tension in relationships. This tension between individuals not only can take some of the enjoyment out of a task or project; if it continues; it can negatively affect team performance and results.In your past interactions with people at work as well as home, it is likely you have observed or even encountered some bad communication and relationship experiences. If you’re like me, you must have noticed how consistently this added tension can “eat away” at interpersonal trust, and reduce or even kill team spirit.

There Is Hope

The good news is that this relationship tension can often be reduced or even eliminated by making a sincere effort at adjusting/adapting our own style of communicating to better “match” the other person’s style of communicating. The purpose of this article is to share you two types of communication adjustments for you to consider practicing for more easily connecting with your coworkers, clients, customers or family members.

The two types of communication adjustments I am referring to are your pace and priority when communicating with others. For clarification; Pace relates to how quickly you or they prefer to communicate (speak, listen and respond). Priority relates to your or their need for socializing (relationship oriented) versus getting down to business (task oriented). See illustation.

There is an old saying that seems to fit well here “He who knows others is wise; he who knows himself is enlightened”. Lao-tzu 531 B.C.. If so, then I believe that… “he who knows and controls himself is even better off than enlightened”. Joe Tabers,CSP 2003.

So How Can We Help Improve Communication?

Our first communication challenge then is to recognize our own natural style or tendencies when communicating with others.

You don’t have to be a psychologist to do this for yourself (or even to observe it in others). Simply ask yourself these two questions:

  • Eighty percent of the time when I’m communicating with others do I tend to have a naturally slower or naturally faster pace? or. .(is their pace naturally slower or faster?)
  • Am I naturally more task driven more relationship driven? or…(are they more task driven or relationship driven?)

For example: if my natural style is usually more fast-paced and relationship oriented I have what is often referred to as an influencing or expressive style. Another example would be if my natural style is usually more slower paced and task driven I have what might be referred to as more of an analyzing or thinking style. ( See illustration again).

Our second challenge is to recognize that our own natural strengths under stress or carried to the extreme can often come across or be perceived by others as sources of irritation or communication weaknesses.

Tip # 1:  slowing down your rate of delivery and responding if you are naturally fast-paced or speeding up if you are naturally slow-paced can really help here. Likewise being patient with others with a naturally slower delivery or appreciating the energy of others with a naturally fast-paced delivery also helps here.

Tip # 2:  controlling your need to socialize or relate to others i.e. excessive small talk or controlling your tenancy to get down to business and cut communication short can really help here. Likewise increasing your tolerance for other’s needs to either “relate” more emotion or details to you or to respect other’s needs to “get down to business” with little or no small talk … can help you increase rapport in this relationship area.

A willingness on your part to adjust your style of communicating according to the style of those who you are dealing with can go a long way to help building healthier relationships while improving teamwork. Hint: Don’t wait for others to adjust their style to yours…Take the initiative make the effort to adapt your style to theirs.

Think about it…When we visit a foreign country or even when we’re a guest someone else’s home we usually make an effort to adapt to their culture, language, dining style or norms. If we don’t, we risk comming across as unpleasant or a source of irritation for them. Conversely if you had guests in your home you would probably find it irritating if they were critical of the way you did things and you wouldn’t want them telling you how or what to cook!

So during your next meeting or interactions with other people within your organization, department or family…consider this reminder. Watch for opportunities to control your natural strengths/tendencies when communicating and look for opportunities to be more flexible with their natural strengths/communication tendencies. In doing this you too will help in the easing of relationship tensions. What is the benefit for your efforts? How about greater respect, results and cooperation from others. Not bad for a little extra effort!

Joe Tabers, CSP is a certified speaking professional, senior consultant and one of our most requested communication skill-building specialists. Since 1984 he has been helping organizations interested in improving trust, teamwork and communications in the workplace. If you believe your company or one of your departments within it would benefit from more effective communication; please contact our manager of customized training Kathy Snell @ 1 800-805-8780  for a free, no obligation consultation.

Age of Enlightenment: Legacy and Criticisms

Age of Enlightenment: Legacy and Criticisms

An emerging cultural movement shook the Western world and transformed involved Western societies during the 17th and 18th centuries. Scholars call this turning point in history the Age of Enlightenment. The period saw intellectuals taking the spotlight to promote reasoning and encourage skepticism among the public.

Revolutionary philosophical ideas, socio-political ideologies, scientific thoughts, and discoveries emerged during this time, thus challenging the norms and conventions that were long promoted by the church and several states. Nevertheless, the primary legacy of the Enlightenment centered on the advancement of knowledge. Lasting impacts could be seen in values and norms pervading the contemporary global society.

Legacy of the Age of Enlightenment: Accomplishments and Positive Impacts

Reasoning and Scientific Revolution

Reasoning was at the core of Enlightenment. During the 17th century, intellectuals such as John Locke and Thomas Hobbes of England, Rene Descartes of France, and physicist Sir Isaac Newton, among others, had separately focused their attention on their revolutionary works.

For instance, Locked published the “Essay Concerning Human Understanding” in 1689 that specifically discussed the mutability of human nature and the necessity of accumulated experience in acquiring human knowledge. On the other hand, in 1686, Newton published the “Principia Mathematica” that provided novel theories and mathematical models of physics. Thus, due to this work, Enlightenment coincided with the Newton-led Scientific Revolution.

The separate works of Locke and Newton provided the scientific, mathematical, and philosophical foundations critical to the establishment and advancement of the Age of Enlightenment. These works paved the way for the acceptance of reasoning or rational thinking based on cause and effect that, in turn, promoted scientific methodology and reasoning, as well as skepticism toward traditions and faith.

However, it is essential to note that the Enlightenment did not actually start as a cultural movement orchestrated by a small number of individuals. It was during the prevalence of rational thinking that subsequent intellectuals during the 18th century pushed for the promotion of reasoning in all aspects of social life.

Benevolent Despotism and Liberal Ideologies

Apart from driving the Scientific Revolution, the Enlightenment also revolutionized several socio-political institutions. Some leaders, particularly heads of monarchical regimes, tried applying reforms, including accepting multiple religions, tolerance toward cultural diversity, freedom of speech, and the right to hold private property. The shift in leadership and governance stance has been referred to as Enlightened Absolutism or Benevolent Despotism.

Furthermore, liberal ideologies and discoveries spread around Europe and were fostered by increased literacy due to a departure from solely religious texts. The first general reference book “Encyclopédie” was first published in France between 1751 and 1772. French writer and philosopher Voltaire also helped spread the Enlightenment ideals by writing and publishing the booksLetters on the English” in 1733 and “Dictionnaire Philosophique” in 1764.

At the height of the Age of Enlightenment was an emerging perception that the predisposition toward reasoning and skepticism bordered with radicalism. It was unavoidable. Both reasoning and skepticism challenged the norms and conventions of those times. For instance, in France, supporters of the Enlightenment had attacked the French monarchy, the privileges granted unto the members of the French nobility, and of course, the political power and extensive influence of the Roman Catholic Church. This sparked the French Revolution. and the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. Note that this revolution was one of the defining moments and long-standing impacts of the Enlightenment.

Criticisms of the Age of Enlightenment: Disapprovals and Drawbacks

Although it cannot be denied that Enlightenment had propelled modernity, particularly by introducing breakthrough ideologies and discoveries, it was met with strong opposition. In the book “Enemies of the Enlightenment,” author Darrin M. McMahon mentioned that the so-called Counter-Enlightenment in France argued that the Enlightenment blinded the people from observing norms and accepting social order.

One of the most passionate critics of the Enlightenment was Jean-Jacques Rousseau. In his 1750 book “Discourse on the Sciences and Arts,” Rousseau argued that the emphasis on reasoning and the emergence of novel philosophical ideas and scientific thought had corrupted the people.

The criticisms suggested a strong opposition against liberalism. Most of the time, critics blamed liberalism for corrupting the minds of the populace during the 18th century and beyond. Of course, any form of radicalism or deviance would be accompanied by strong opposition, especially from the conservatives.

In France, these conservatives or the Counter-Enlightenment faction argued for preserving the monarchical system, the nobility, and the church. For them, any form of nonconformity from this established social order was a sign of corruption. The Counter-Enlightenment specifically argued that too much reasoning and skepticism had left people devoid of their ability to accept the standards, acknowledge the authority, and appreciate the existing.

The predisposition toward reasoning and skepticism made Enlightenment unacceptable for some. Intellectuals and their supporters blatantly rejected the standards that had been existing for centuries. They were too critical of the norms and conventions that they had become unappreciative of the heritage and historical accomplishments of the social institutions, as well as cultural traditions that they were criticizing.

Critics argued that the Enlightenment had prevented a considerable number of people from noticing the works of art and literature that pervaded during that time. Furthermore, they did not even pay attention to sermons and religious apologetics. Reasoning and skepticism compelled people to distance themselves from these things.

Those who opposed the Age of the Enlightenment believed that too much inclination toward reasoning and skepticism and the entire cultural movement made some ardent supporters subjective and biased.

Nonetheless, the Age of the Enlightenment marked a significant turning point in history in which people, specifically from the Western societies, began embracing a new and radical way of thinking that challenged the norms and the conventions established by those who held power and authority—especially the monarchical regime and the influential church.

It is true that the cultural movement was not a perfect model. However, the depth and extent of its legacy are undeniable. It is impossible to distance modernity and social progress from the impacts or accomplishments of the Age of Enlightenment. After all, it is during this era that the general Western populace demonstrated their resolve against the established social institutions.

Short-line tax credit bill reintroduced in Congress

A bill that would make permanent the short-line track maintenance tax credit known as 45G was introduced this week in the U.S. House of Representatives, the American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association (ASLRRA) announced yesterday.

The Building Rail Access for Customers and the Economy (BRACE) Act (H.R. 721) was introduced by U.S. Reps. Lynn Jenkins (R-Kan.), Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.), Rodney Davis (R-Ill.) and Dan Lipinski (D-Ill.)

If passed, the legislation would allow small railroads to spend more of their revenue rehabilitating infrastructure, according to an ASLRRA press release.

In December 2015, Congress passed the fifth short-term extension of the credit, extending it through Dec. 31, 2016. Also last year, the BRACE Act was introduced and achieved a majority in the House and Senate, but did not pass.

The measure provides short lines and regionals a 50-cent tax credit for each dollar the railroad spends on track rehabilitation and maintenance up to $3,500 per mile of track owned or leased by the railroad.

"The BRACE Act allows for our small railroads to avoid the uncertainty of extending deadlines, ensuring that investment will be continuous," said ASLRRA President Linda Bauer Darr. "The BRACE Act will of course aid our small railroads, but much more importantly directly support the more than 10,000 customers along our lines and the suppliers to our industry."

We, the members of the Prohibition Party, assembled by telephone conference, recognizing Almighty God as the Source of all just government, and with faith in the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ, do hereby pledge to serve the needs and to preserve the prerogatives and freedoms of the citizens of the United States of America.

We affirm our loyalty to the Constitution of the United States of America. We will protect it from violation by legislation, by evasion, or by judicial usurpation of rights belonging to the executive and legislative branches of government or reserved to the States and to the people.

We will conduct foreign affairs with the preservation of American Liberty and independence as our chief objective. We are jealous of American sovereignty; we are opposed to the interference of America in the like sovereignty of other nations. American garrisons in foreign counties should not exceed the level required to protect American diplomatic missions, unless specifically authorized by Congress. We support volunteer armed forces, well-trained and highly motivated; we oppose conscription except in time of Congressionally declared war.

The Prohibition Party opposes the use of military force in violation of Just War principles. The Prohibition Party deplores the use of torture in any circumstance.

The Prohibition Party recognizes that international trade has the potential to raise the standard of living for all nations. If not regulated in accord with the common good, however, it can lead to the exploitation of labor and the environment, as well as causing economic insecurity.

We favor free trade, but only on a reciprocal basis. We will impose balancing tariffs on all goods imported from countries whose wage scales, labor benefits, and environmental protections are not similar to our own.

We insist on an end to the use of pressure to restructure the economies of debtor nations in ways that favor large corporate interests over protections for poor and middle-class families. We favor employing sound momentary principles when lending to other nations.

No nation which fails to protect the civil rights of its citizens may be accorded "most favored nation" status.

The Constitution mandates that Congress shall have the sole power to coin money and to regulate its value. We will abolish the Federal Reserve System, establishing in its place a government-owned National Bank. Predatory lending

activities and punitive rates of interest will be banned. We will encourage the formation of state banks where qualified entrepreneurs can borrow money for investment in job-creating enterprises at minimal interest.

We support the right of citizens to own and to carry fire-arms for personal defense and for sport. We applaud the efforts of private organizations such as the NRA to train Americans in the proper and safe use of firearms.

We will defend the right of all workers to freely choose to join or not to join a union. Toward that end, we urge all states to adopt right-to-work laws.

We endorse the concept of a living wage and reasonable family leave.

The Prohibition Party advocates that no one (excepting public safety and medical personnel) be forced to work on their personal Sabbath day.

Government-subsidized economic development projects should be founded on the constitutional principle of “promoting the general welfare” rather than as propositions primarily benefitting the rich and influential. The Prohibition Party believes in the Free Enterprise System. We support the establishment of family businesses and worker co-operatives, as well as policies which encourage local farming and production.

We advocate an actuarially sound federal Social Security System independent of any other program.

We favor a balanced budget amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Well-maintained roads, railways, waterways, and electrical grid are vital to America’s economic health. We would spend more on maintaining and improving our national infrastructure.

The Prohibition Party recognizes and commends the contributions of immigrants to United States’ culture, economy, and national identity.

We recognize that immigration and naturalization should be done through an orderly legal process, under terms established by congressional law. We also recognize that protecting our borders is a duty to the citizens of the United States in ensuring their safety.

To this end, we would deploy sufficient resources to stop all illegal traffic across America's land and sea borders.

We recognize that the causes of migration are complex and multi-faceted and will work towards domestic and international policies which will make immigration a choice rather than a necessity. At the same time, we support a compassionate

policy of asylum for individuals facing persecution or who are living under inhumane conditions.

The Prohibition Party supports an end to the use of private, for-profit immigrant-detention centers to house individuals.

We call for a Constitutional amendment, which shall read as follows: "Marriage is, historically, an Institution and Sacrament of the Church. Only religious institutions shall decide what qualifies as a 'marriage.' For the purpose of two individuals who need only legal protection, such as for inheritance and for power of attorney one for the other, the state may license Civil Unions.''

We oppose any efforts to compel members of the clergy to perform marriages of any sort.

We acknowledge that religious values have played a positive role in the foundation of the United States of America. We find a constitutional right of individual citizens to believe, worship, fellowship, educate, evangelize, and organize religious institutions. Voluntary prayer and other religious activities shall not be prohibited in schools and other public spaces. We deplore militant secularism which seeks to remove religion from the public square.

The Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects the rights of the States and of the people to regulate education, within constitutional limits. We support the right of families to choose the method for educating their children. To this end, the Prohibition Party supports vouchers that provide all parents with the ability to choose their preferred form of education.

We approve of the work of the federal Department of Education in collecting and disseminating essential educational information.

The major emphasis in primary and secondary schools should be on science, mathematics, citizenship, American history, and English. We advocate free tertiary education for all qualified citizens. We would promote re-training programs for displaced workers, paid for by tariffs on imports.

The Prohibition Party upholds a consistent life ethic with respect to abortion, capital punishment, and euthanasia. We therefore support legislation that establishes a right to life from conception until natural death. We consider abortion to be morally repugnant, and we do not support a right to procure one. We believe that taxpayer monies should not be used to fund abortions and, instead, advocate financial support for pregnancy centers and other institutions that promote the health of the mother and of the unborn child. We oppose the intentional destruction of human embryos as well. We stand against the use of

the death penalty as imprisonment eliminates the threat of individuals to society and allows them to reform themselves. We stand against the practice of euthanasia and of physician-assisted suicide, which prey upon the elderly and depressed. We recognize the importance of mental health, and we therefore advocate for policies that educate people in this area and of other policies which would curtail the tragedy of suicide.

We oppose “entertainments” which inflict pain upon sentient beings, including but not limited to cock- and dog-fighting and bear baiting. We oppose using animals for consumer-product testing and weapons development unnecessarily, believing that simulations by computer-modeling can usually serve that purpose. We advocate legislation that would make compulsory disclosure on product labels if animal-testing has been used in their development.

We believe God has given Man dominion (responsible use) over all the Earth. We will safeguard the biosphere, soil, water, and air which we all must share. However, pollution abatement projects must balance costs with benefits.

America must not allow itself to be dependent upon other, sometimes hostile, countries for its energy supply. We advocate increased research on and development of non-fossil fuel resources, tax breaks for companies engaging in such, and subsidies for consumers wishing to change from fossil fuels to renewable domestic sources of energy.

We believe that climatic change could be an existential threat to civilization, and we will cooperate with other nations in mitigating its possible effects. However, we will not surrender our sovereignty in this, or any other regard.

We prefer state-level health care programs to federal programs. We will find ways to reduce the 33% inefficiency imposed on American health care by insurance industry overhead and price gouging.

Moral and spiritual considerations must be primary factors in determining both state and national policies. We deplore the gross neglect of such matters by the dominant political parties, culminating in the shocking revelations of crime and of political and economic corruption which have characterized recent years.

We believe that all people are created equal and are endowed with inalienable rights. We support justice and equality under the law for all Americans.

We would agitate against all forms of gambling, including state lotteries, which prey on the poor and the poorly educated.

We believe schools should place more emphasis on developing self-discipline and habits of good citizenship.

We support stronger efforts to combat sexual assault and abuse.

We believe that pornography exploits human persons and regard it as an evil that harms societal health.

The alcohol question is the Prohibition Party's unique, signature issue. Beverage alcohol is America's #1 narcotic drug problem. In fact, it is a national health crisis. Currently, there are nearly 40,000,000 alcoholics in America and one in every four Americans under the age of 30 is an alcoholic. We oppose tobacco in all its forms. Alcohol and tobacco together are responsible for 40% of America's health care costs. Cannabis and so-called "hard drugs" such as heroin and cocaine account for a smaller, but still significant, share of the total public health bill. Prohibitionists oppose the traffic in all of these drugs - their production, transportation, and sale, except for medicinal use as regulated by the federal Food and Drug Administration. We believe a sustained program of education and legislation, building from the local to the national, is the best way to strengthen community disapproval of drug indulgence and enable a return to National Prohibition of all recreational drugs. We consider it immoral for government to subsidize the cultivation of tobacco and to promote exporting tobacco products to other countries; we would end business expense deductions for advertising tobacco and alcohol products. We support programs to assist tobacco farmers and vineyard owners in switching to alternative crops.

    Uses Notes:

    This versatile, floriferous rose can be grown on its own, as a hedge, or in a garden among other perennials, shrubs, or roses for an easy care display of consistent color.

    Maintenance Notes:

    This rose does not need deadheading (i.e., there's no need to remove old flowers) in order to keep blooming. As for pruning, it's a good idea to cut the whole plant back by about half to one-third its total height in early spring - this removes any thinner buds at the top of the plant, ensuring that the growth for the year comes from the thicker buds further down the stems. Don't sweat it too much - just cut back the stems above where a nice, big bud is emerging.

    Though this rose has proven itself resistant to powdery mildew and black spot, proper care and siting is important. Plant where it will get at least six - and ideally, eight or more - hours of bright sun each day. Avoid wetting the leaves when you water, or if you have a sprinkler system, adjust the head so that it waters the soil rather than the plant.

    • This rose is awesome. I bought it as an end of the season deal from Reno Dépôt, a local renovation store. Planted it very late in the fall. It performed super well in Spring with many flowers of multiple colors and nice rings in the center just like in the picture, in early June. The foliage is very green and shiny, extremely nice looking.

    • This rose is so gorgeous! Our city has strict rules for where one can place a fence and how high in the front yard plus we have buried cables for tv and electrical too so putting up a fence wasn't feasible. These are SO very gorgeous planted along the side of the house almost as a low hedge for the first year we have had them, they are just gorgeous when blooming and many people in our area now want to get them! We purchased outs at the local Home Depot.

This Photo of Zac Efron as Ted Bundy Will Send Chills Down Your Spine

We’ve never been exactly frightened by Zac Efron…until now.

The actor shed his charming smile to take on a much darker role as Ted Bundy in the forthcoming biopic, Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile, and, not surprisingly, the first-look photo is pretty eerie.

Efron took to Instagram today to tease his transformation into the notorious serial killer who committed 36 murders between 1974 and 1978.

In a black-and-white on-set image, captioned “Meet Ted #BehindTheScenes,” Efron’s transformation into Bundy is apparent as he poses for a mugshot.

Lily Collins, who plays Bundy’s longtime girlfriend Elizabeth Koepfer in the film, also shared a behind-the-scenes photo today, captioned “Meet Liz.” The Joe Berlinger–directed film explores Bundy’s crimes from her perspective.

No release date has been announced for Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile yet. When it does hit theaters, we’ll be first in line.

Song of the Deep Review - Screenshot 1 of 3

Insomniac Games has certainly been keeping itself busy lately. The studio has been launching game after game over the last couple of years, all of them of the quality you'd expect, and it seems it's prepared to tackle almost anything – big or small. Nestled in-between its successful re-imagining of the first Ratchet & Clank and its forthcoming Spider-Man title is Song of the Deep. While it may not have the bombast and the humour of Insomniac's other games, this 2D Metroidvania more than makes up for it with bucket-loads of charm.

The story follows Merryn, a young girl whose fisherman father doesn't come home one night. Following a vision of him trapped beneath the sea, she sets about finding him, building a small, rickety submarine from spare parts and diving into the big blue. It's a simple premise, but it's eloquently told, written well, and narrated perfectly.

The first thing that hits you is the beautiful art style, with cut-scenes that look like illustrations from a children's book, and a colourful, detailed underwater environment in-game for you to discover. It's all extremely well realised, the ocean full of life and mystery, with a superb melancholy soundtrack creating a sometimes haunting, sometimes joyful atmosphere. Sadly, the technical performance doesn't quite match up to the presentation, with frequent framerate dips when there's too much action. It also pauses for a second each time that you hit a save point, which we didn't find to be much of a problem, but it could be smoother.

You begin the game in the safe shallows, with no abilities beyond moving through the water. It doesn't take long for you to find the Magnetic Claw, however, which is your most versatile and useful equipment throughout the game. Not only can it be used to grab and throw things, but it's also handy in combat. After a little while, you're able to explore more freely. There's always a marker on your map showing you where to go next, but you can safely ignore it and wander around as far as you like. With this being a Metroidvania, though, expect a lot of gated areas and seemingly impossible-to-collect items along the way.

It never gets too complex, and new skills are spread out nicely. There will be doors or objects you can't open up until near the end of the 8-hour adventure. Exploration is highly encouraged, and it pays to backtrack to cordoned off locations; not only will you find treasure and health/energy upgrades for your sub, but there are even new abilities and whole new puzzle rooms to solve. The surprisingly big map is intelligently laid out and, because of the lovely art, it's one that you won't mind filling in.

However, enemies are numerous, so you'll spend as much of your time attacking all manner of nautical nasties as you will exploring. Many of the submarine's abilities double up as both combat options and navigational tools, so you'll always be well equipped to tackle them head on. As you progress, you'll gain access to various torpedoes – they'll all deal damage to your foes but they have different effects. For example, the ice missiles will slow down your enemies, while the magma ones leave a fiery cloud that chips away at their health. Fighting the fishy fiends is often pretty haphazard and directionless, with the floaty controls sometimes making it hard to evade their attacks. The game can rely too heavily on combat as well, sometimes locking you into rooms until you've bested enough baddies. These forced fights are probably the weakest aspect of the game, alongside some anticlimactic boss battles.

The puzzles fare slightly better. There aren't any true head scratchers to speak of, but they're entertaining nonetheless. A particular highlight about half-way through the game is a lengthy puzzle in which you must guide a beam of light all the way to the top of a tower, using mirrors to reflect it into switches. Often the puzzles are of the 'doors and switches' variety, some requiring you to rebuild statues to progress, and others that ask you to navigate large objects onto pressure pads. These are probably the trickiest puzzles, but not for the right reasons. Shunting heavy objects around with the nose of your submarine doesn't sound like a big deal, but in practice it will take you multiple tries due to the nature of the game's physics. The floaty, weighty controls make contextual sense, but they're not good at points where precision is key, resulting in many dropped or exploded objects, and your patience wearing thin.

Song of the Deep has a big heart, and is a fun, uncomplicated game that players of all ages will enjoy. The abilities are fun to use, the gameplay is mostly solid, and the presentation really won us over. Exploring this lush seascape, solving simple puzzles, and experiencing the sweet story – this is where the game excels. It contains most of the established rules and trappings of a Metroidvania, and is one of the easier games that we've played recently, but this isn't necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes, it's nice to play a game that doesn't ask too much of you, one that allows you to relax and simply enjoy being in its world. If you can forgive its technical hiccups and learn to adapt to its loose controls, you'll have a whale of a time.

Wiedeńscy zboczeńcy – queers (and monsters) between Warszawa and Wien in the 20th century.

Wiedeńscy zboczeńcy – queers (and monsters) between Warszawa and Vienna in the 20th century.

Wed ,8.6.2022, 6:00pm

A lecture in English by Kamil Karczewski

As a historian of queer and sexuality, Kamil Karczewski would like to take the visitors of Queer Museum for a journey through the 20th century that crosses political, national, and sexual borders. He will demonstrate that understanding queer history in Poland is impossible without understanding Vienna.

The journey starts in the belle epoque with a story of a Polish aristocrat who told his doctors in Kraków how he learnt homosexuality from “the highest spheres of Austria” and from his peers in a Jesuit school in Vienna. Then, we will look at a lesbian sexual scandal that luckily for its protagonist took place in Warsaw, not in Vienna, since—Polish newspapers reported— it would have meant serious troubles for the woman as Austrian Penal Code, unlike laws of other countries, criminalised sexual relations between women.

In the beginning of the twentieth century Vienna was often presented as the hotbed of perversion and a haven for sexual perverts. This phantasy about the city was related to a broader motive visible in Polish press throughout the 1920s and 1930s of presenting homosexuality as a “German vice” arriving from the German-speaking area of Europe and destroying the allegedly pure and Catholic Polish soul. These motives are still present in the public discourse in Poland today and exploited by the far-right populists.

We will discuss when and how this phantasy of Vienna started and how it was related to the enormous influence that people such as Sigmund Freund and Richard Krafft-Ebing had on the societies of Central and Eastern Europe.

Finally, we will see how the Viennese homosexual scene in the 1970s and 1980s influenced and invigorated gay activism in Poland at the time. We will discuss what kind of new phantasies some queer people from the country had about Vienna and Austria at the end of the 20th century.

Karczewski lived for four years in Austria after he left Poland in 2012. When he moved to Vienna, he imagined it as a western, lively metropolis with unlimited options for a young gay man. Instead, a Viennese queer person told him upon my arrival: “Remember, people say that New York never sleep; Vienna sleeps always.” This could sometimes seem true. But after several years of studies in the history of sexuality, healso learnt that Goya was right to depict sleep as a state when monsters come forth. Some of these monsters can be beautifully queer.

Kamil Karczewski is a PhD candidate at the Department of History and Civilization at the European University Institute in Florence, Italy. He researches the queer history of interwar Poland in a transnational perspective. In his PhD dissertation “Queer Warsaw: Sex in the Time of Nationalism,” Karczewski focuses on the relations between nationalist ideology and
changing ideas about sexuality in interwar Poland.
Currently, he is also a research fellow at the Institute of European History in Mainz and the Herder Institute in Marburg; 2022–24 Postdoctoral Past & Present Fellow at the Institute of Historical Research (University of London).

Musical Notes: Darkel

Those of you in the know have probably already heard JB Dunckel aka Darkel‘s solo endeavor. For those of you not in the know, Dunckel, who made a name for himself as one half of French musical visionaires, Air, just released a self-titled solo album.

With it, Darkel continues his exploration of electronic absurdity. While there are definitely some provocative beats and engaging lyrics, it’s a lop-sided effort to say the least. The opening track, “Be My Friend,” features cinematic-friendly, dreamy beats with lackluster lyrics. “My Own Sun” surprises the listener with a poppy, nearly twee hand-clapping frenzy that sticks out like a sore thumb, while “Pearl” seems like a leftover from Air’s 10,000 Hz Legend.

Still, it’s not all bad. For example, we’re pretty in love with the single, “At the End of The Sky,” a seemingly nonsensical trip into the origins of life, love, and everything else featuring sliding guitar, comforting drums, and Darkel’s soft, dreamy vocals.

To hear (and see!) what we’re talking about, check out the video – a delightful animated piece that takes the viewer from earth to space and back again. Where? After the jump, of course.

  • Sandra Lindner

    Sandra Lindner received extensive technical training in working with metal and textiles in the course of three traineeships. Studies at the University of Fine Arts in Hamburg culminating in a degree as industrial designer further honed her knowledge and skills. In parallel, the native of Baden-Württemberg studied architecture for several semesters and already opened her own design studio, ‘Lindner im Norden’, in 1996. One of Sandra Lindner’s fundamental principles is ‘singlepiece production’. This concept can be found in nearly all of her products. She moreover integrates the idiosyncrasies of handcraftsmanship into serial production. In the lamp Verform, for example, the preparatory work is done according to the criteria of industrial manufacture, but the porcelain is subsequently submitted to random processing to make each lamp one-of-a-kind. The magazine Elle Decoration named Sandra Lindner Newcomer of the Year in 2007. For several years Sandra Lindner has been a visiting lecturer in design in the Department of Architecture and Design at the University of Applied Sciences in Wismar. Today’s sustainability issues are a current focus in Lindner’s work, as well as the unique qualities of natural raw materials. Her furniture series ‘Bestiaux’ and the flooring ‘Pinhua mudiban’ are made from recycled materials. With her most recent works using ceramics, Lindner establishes a connection between movement and form.

0007Quiet Mind ~ HOLD THE KEY.jpg
00:00 / 11:37

“The result of this new thinking will create a God who is “far larger than the one you were originally told about.

This will not make anything you have learned “wrong,” but will enhance your understanding of the whole. A whole new relationship to Spirit emerges, and you move forward with an attitude that sees all the other spiritual systems as appropriate for those who use them. There is no judgment or singular bias about there only being “one way to God.” It instead becomes a celebration of all the ways to God. For you will, indeed, meet all of the family eventually, and will realize that all of you are just “climbing the tree of truth” and finding the seeds one at a time and living through the growth of each lifetime as you climb the tree.”

A special Thank You goes to Lee Carroll for allowing me to share these channelings of light with all of you.

Slow Down And Move Over Law Comes Into Effect June 1 2009

Burnaby – New rules of the road to protect emergency roadside workers will come into effect on June 1, 2009 requiring drivers to slow down and move over when passing stopped emergency vehicles that have their lights flashing.

The new law brings welcome relief to many emergency roadside providers, including tow truck operators. BCAA has actively advocated for safety regulations on behalf of its Road Assist personnel and towing companies for a number of years.

BCAA’s advocacy efforts stemmed from the death of Vernon Towing employee, Ernie Semkiw who was struck and killed by a passing van while assisting a disabled vehicle on behalf of BCAA. His tow truck’s amber lights were activated at the time.

“By slowing down and moving over, drivers will be able to safely pass and respond to emergency activity at the roadside, and more importantly, save lives,” says BCAA’s Road Assist Director, Ken Cousin. “We applaud government for listening and introducing these new measures, in sync with similar regulations elsewhere in Canada and the U.S.” Currently five provinces and 40 U.S. states have similar requirements.

The new law requires drivers to slow down to 70km/h on highways where the speed limit is 80 km/h or higher, and to 40 km/h where the limit is below 80 km/h, when approaching a stopped emergency vehicle that has its lights flashing. If there is another lane going in the same direction, drivers must also move into that lane, if it is safe to do so.

Until now, B.C. has only had laws for driving in construction zones; none to protect emergency roadside personnel such as police, fire, ambulance and towing vehicles. Those found in contravention of the new rules will face a fine and three penalty points against their licence. The fine, including a 15 per cent surcharge, is $148 if paid within 30 days or $175 thereafter.
