Understanding UMTS Radio Network Modelling, Planning and Automated Optimisation

Understanding UMTS Radio Network Modelling, Planning and Automated Optimisation

4.11 - 1251 ratings - Source

This book sets out to provide the theoretical foundations that will enable radio network planners to plan model and optimize radio networks using state-of-the-art findings from around the globe. It adopts a logical approach, beginning with the background to the present status of UMTS radio network technology, before devoting equal coverage to planning, modelling and optimization issues. All key planning areas are covered, including the technical and legal implications of network infrastructure sharing, hierarchical cell structure (HCS) deployment, ultra-high-site deployment and the benefits and limitations of using computer-aided design (CAD) software. Theoretical models for UMTS technology are explained as generic system models, stand-alone services and mixed services. Business modelling theory and methods are put forward, taking in propagation calculations, link-level, UMTS static and UMTS dynamic simulations. The challenges and goals of the automated optimization process are explored in depth using cutting-edge cost function and optimization algorithms. This theory-based resource containing prolific illustrative case studies explains the reasons for UMTS radio networks performance issues and how to use this foundational knowledge to model, plan and optimize present and future systems.[1] Eirwen Nichols, Ines Respini, Martin Garner, Virtyt Koshi, Carrie Pawsey, Ajay Ghambir, a#39;3G survival ... cellular networksa#39;, RA0703DZ/R/18/008/1, January 2004, available at http://www.ofcom.org.uk/research/ technology/archive/dzone.pdf.

Changed landscape for global carmakers

Toyota Motor President Akio Toyoda
Image caption Toyota Motor president Akio Toyoda's challenges are growing by the day

The earthquake that hit Japan on 11 March, causing a tsunami and a nuclear crisis, did more than rock the country.

Japan's motor industry was also shaken badly, with many of its parts suppliers hit.

A warning by the country's leading car-maker, Toyota, that parts shortages could curb output this year, coincided with booming sales and profits at its main global rival, General Motors (GM).

GM has just announced it is planning to invest $2bn (£1.2bn) in plants in eight US states, as well as creating hundreds of jobs.

Fellow US car-maker Ford has also reported bumper profits and sales. And even the country's third-largest automotive company, Chrysler, is back in the black.

Image caption American strength should help, as US car-makers prepare to conquer Asia

Less than two years ago, GM and Chrysler filed for bankruptcy and were bailed out by US taxpayers, while Ford had to sell its luxury division, which included Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo cars.

At the time, Toyota and the other Japanese car-makers were gaining ground in the troubled Detroit-based companies' home market.

Asian growth

The timing of this latest see-saw shift in the global automotive landscape is significant, coming as it does on the eve of an anticipated boom in sales across Asia.

China's already buoyant market is set for continued dramatic expansion, an Indian sales surge appears imminent, and the rest of Asia is also set to be an engine for growth for the motor industry on the back of strong economic performance across the region.

This might result in GM regaining the top spot as the world's bestselling carmaker, as Toyota slips lower down the ranking list.

Image caption Asia will be the next battle-ground for the global motor industry

But neither company will consider this important.

Toyota, which was only just recovering from last year's mass recalls of faulty cars when the earthquake hit, says it has never been chasing volume as its focus has always been on quality and on profit margins.

GM says it no longer cares about being number one - not, at least, not if it results in lower profits, and plans to end discounts aimed at simply getting cars off the forecourts.

But the Americans and the Japanese are up against some exceptionally competent competition from European and South Korean car-makers.

And when benchmarked against some of their rivals from these regions, both can appear weak, regardless of how they compare with each other.

Siemens beats Bombardier to Thameslink train order

Siemens Desiro train
Image caption Siemens will deliver the first new trains in 2015

The government has named a consortium led by German firm Siemens as its preferred bidder to build new train carriages for its Thameslink route.

Siemens beat competition from Bombardier, which runs the UK's last remaining train factory in Derby.

The £6bn North-South cross-London Thameslink programme will require 1,200 new carriages.

Siemens said it was delighted with the decision, while Bombardier said it was "extremely disappointed".

Transport Minister Theresa Villiers said in a statement that the Siemens-led venture represented the best value for money for taxpayers.

The first new train will be delivered by the start of 2015, with the order completed by the middle of 2017.

Siemens said the contract would lead to the creation of 2,000 jobs across the UK, including up to 300 at a factory in Hebburn, South Tyneside.

Siemens already employs about 16,000 people in the UK.

'Absolutely disgraceful'

The contract to build carriages for the Thameslink upgrade is the second major bid Bombardier has lost to overseas competition.

In 2009, the company also lost out on a contract to build a fleet of inter-city "super express" trains to Japan's Hitachi.

It is a crucial time for Bombardier, which employs 3,000 people in Derby, as most current orders will soon be finished.

A company spokesman said: "We will need to be debriefed by the Department for Transport to understand why we were unsuccessful. Since the procurement process is still underway, and the contract has not been finalised, we cannot comment any further."

The Unite union said the news was a "hammer blow" for Derby and for British manufacturing.

"The government's decision to award this contract to a consortium which does not have British manufacturing and British job creation as its prime focus is absolutely disgraceful," said Mark Young, regional co-ordinating officer for Unite.

"The decision is a major blow for jobs in the East Midlands, not just at Bombardier but in the local supply chain, which has the largest concentration of train supply companies in the UK."

Rupert Brennan-Brown from the Derby and Derbyshire Rail Forum (DDRF), a group of 100 rail-related businesses in the Derby/Derbyshire area, also said it was disappointing news for Bombardier.

But he added: "There continue to be significant opportunities for the 100 members of the DDRF to supply products and services for both the Thameslink project generally and the new Siemens fleet for Thameslink."

Wikipedia boss Jimmy Wales criticises injunctions

Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia
Image caption Jimmy Wales believes current privacy laws are ridiculous

Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales has waded into the debate over super-injunctions, saying current privacy laws are a "human rights violation".

The online encyclopaedia has fallen foul of UK privacy law in recent weeks, with details about those using super-injunctions appearing on the site.

Mr Wales told the BBC that such information would be removed because it did not come from a reliable source.

However, he said that might change if the stories ran in foreign newspapers.

"The Wikipedia community does not allow such things to come on the site unless there is a reliable source which currently there isn't because the newspapers aren't allowed to publish," he told the BBC Radio 4's PM programme.

But if they appeared in say the New York Times or a French newspaper he would run them, "without question".

US law

Mr Wales said his personal view was that privacy laws were "grave injustices and human rights violations".

"They should be done away with as quickly as possible. There should be no law constraining people from publishing legally obtained, factual information," he said.

Exceptions to this would be information that was life-threatening, such as troop movements.

"But we aren't talking about that. This is embarrassing facts about politicians and celebrities".

Wikipedia is owned by the US-based charity the WikiMedia Foundation and and is therefore subject to US law.

That is the same legal loophole that has allowed Twitter to continue publishing details about the private lives and subsequent super-injunctions of a range of celebrities.

Making mockery

It has said it will not identify the user who has been exposing the super-injunction gliterrati on the site, despite the fact that some of the details appear to be untrue.

Users worried by libellous tweets are advised to contact a lawyer.

Experts warned that the lawyers of celebrities could turn the tables, pressing for ISPs and firms such as Twitter to hand over the details of who is publishing comments on the site.

To do so they would need to obtain what is known as a Norwich Pharmacal order from a judge, the same process used by rights holders to force ISPs to hand over details about alleged illegal file-sharers.

"Celebrities could apply for Norwich Pharmacal orders against ISPs, Twitter or other parties holding data that may lead to the identification of a defendant," said solicitor Michael Forrester of law firm Ralli.

"The position is much more difficult when dealing with companies based in the US, such as Twitter and Google.

They may seek to avoid any applications on jurisdictional points and I suspect they may take a strong line with such applications, at least at first," he added.

The legislative net also appears to be closing in on social media sites with the UK culture secretary Jeremy Hunt saying places such as Twitter "made a mockery" of privacy laws.

"Whatever the laws tried to do on privacy, the internet is a very powerful force that you can't buck so we do need to look at it," he said at a Westminster lunch with journalists this week.

Meanwhile Twitter continues to ride high on the furore, recording its busiest day of online traffic this week.

South Gloucestershire parents against 'fat packs'

Obese boy
Image caption Obesity describes children and adults who carry 20% extra body weight

Parents in South Gloucestershire say money is being wasted on a scheme which monitors the weight of their children.

Letters and advice packs are being sent to families whose five-year-olds are deemed "overweight".

The National Child Measurement Programme was set up by the Department of Health to identify youngsters with potential weight problems.

But parents say it is "dangerous" to label children fat or overweight at such an early age.

Darren Watkins from Kingswood said it was "laughable" that his five-year old son Thomas was called overweight.

"I think the system's completely wrong. It's a national thing, they're just putting numbers into a computer.

"He's an active fit chap [and does] swimming, football, rock climbing, riding bikes.

"He's muscley because of his activities and he's a toned chap, there's not an ounce of fat anywhere."

Mr Watkins said he was also concerned that some children could read the letters and it would then affect their eating.

The programme started seven years ago, with the aim of reducing Britain's growing problem of childhood obesity.

Children are weighed and measured when they start primary school as five-year olds, and again in their final year, aged 11.

Parents whose children are identified as being overweight are sent letters, information and guidance on improving their health.

Dr Pauline Emmett, a nutritionist and dietician at Bristol University, said a letter home to parents about their child's weight is "not possibly the best way to deal with that but it is the cheapest way".

'Important part'

The programme is implemented locally by individual care trusts, but all the advice documents and template letters are provided by the Department of Health.

"I appreciate how the parents feel but we do tell the parents about the programmes, so receiving these results should not be a surprise," said Julie Craig from NHS South Gloucestershire.

"We have obesity rates in South Gloucestershire, of very heavy children, of 16.7% in year six in the last academic year, which is not what we want to see."

Ms Craig added that locally the data will be used to shape services and raise awareness of the importance of children growing up healthily.

The Department of Health said the programme was an "important part" of the government's Healthy Weight, Healthy Lives strategy.

Work starts on £19m Plymouth University wave project

Work has started on a £19m building at Plymouth University that will house a wave tank and marine testing equipment.

Two Olympic pool-sized wave tanks will simulate coastal and ocean environments, generating currents and creating waves more than 1m (3ft) high.

A ship simulator will also be used to train navigators and deck officers for the global shipping industry.

The Marine Building should be completed in the Spring of 2012.

'Global player'

Professor Martin Attrill, director of the Marine Institute, said the development would provide "new world-class facilities for the University, the city and the region".

"The suite of wave tanks will be the most advanced in the UK, enabling external companies and organisations to work with University experts to test new structures, such as wave energy devices, over a range of wave and current situations."

Professor Wendy Purcell, vice-Chancellor at the University, said: "The Marine Institute represents a depth and breadth of expertise second to none in the UK - around 3,000 staff, researchers and students are engaged in marine and maritime activity.

"This building is a clear statement of intent that Plymouth is a leading global player in all things marine."

The construction project involves such engineering challenges as suspending a coastal tank containing 225,000 litres of water from the floor.

A crane will lift 32 concrete beams reinforced with steel into place to create a framework for the building with each beam weighing 13.5 tonnes.

Village volunteers take over running of Goxhill library

Goxhill Library
Image caption A disused phone box has been turned into a donation point for books

A village library is being run by volunteers after it was threatened with closure due to budget cuts.

A group of 40 volunteers will operate the Goxhill library after North Lincolnshire Council removed funding for staffing and rent.

It offered a once-a-week mobile library service, but villagers said they wanted the existing building to remain open.

The parish council has signed a 10-year contract so the community can run the facility.

North Lincolnshire Council will provide training, IT support and buy books. Other running costs will be paid for by the parish council.

Mike Gathercole, chair of Goxhill parish council, said that initially they were wary of taking over the library, as they have no budget to pay for staff or rent, and were unsure whether the volunteer model would work.

He said "We were a little bit reticent about that because we didn't think that there would be the support from the village to do that.

"But, we canvassed them and we finished up with 40 plus volunteers."

The volunteers plan to keep the existing opening hours and expand the children's section in collaboration with the village school.

A decommissioned telephone kiosk outside the library has been turned into a Book Box, where anyone can donate their own books for other people to take away and read in the event of the library being closed.

The parish council hopes to raise the money to pay for the rent and other running costs by hiring rooms out to local groups and contracting to provide information services for the NHS and other public bodies.

Third arrest over St Ann's stabbing

Scene of crime in St Ann's
Image caption Several roads were cordoned off while officers examined the scene

A third person has been arrested in connection with a stabbing in the St Ann's area of Nottingham which left a man with serious injuries.

Police said an 18-year-old man was arrested on Wednesday afternoon. Two 13-year-olds arrested on Tuesday remain in custody.

Officers were called to Stonebridge Road at about 2315 GMT where they found a man, 27, with multiple stab wounds.

He remains at the Queen's Medical Centre in a stable condition.

Extra police officers have been patrolling the area to reassure residents.

A large area in St Ann's was cordoned off on Tuesday to allow a detailed search and forensic examination of the scene.

Ch Insp Linda McCarthy, of Nottinghamshire Police, said several people were in the area at the time of the attack and urged anyone with information to contact officers.

Victor Massey hospital death police reaction criticised

Victor Massey
Image caption The jury found no-one took overall control of the situation before Victor Massey was restrained

Police had no strategy for dealing with a violent patient who died after being restrained, an inquest has decided.

Victor Massey, 54, died at King's Mill Hospital, Nottinghamshire, in August 2006 while being treated with powerful painkillers for pancreatitis.

The jury heard he locked himself in a shower room and threatened police.

In a narrative verdict, the jury also said use of CS spray was inappropriate and restraint methods would have affected his ability to breathe.

The inquest in Nottingham heard Mr Massey, from Westwood in Nottinghamshire, was suffering from severe pain and had been given morphine and Tramadol.

Cardiac arrest

Giving evidence, night nurse Ianthe Manning said Mr Massey "was the most violent patient I have seen".

A security supervisor said CS gas was used on Mr Massey after he tried to stab a Pc through the shower room door with a piece of glass.

He was then pinned to the floor and handcuffed.

A pathologist concluded Mr Massey died from cardiac arrest following restraint in combination with pancreatitis and the drug Tramadol.

The jury was asked to consider 24 points in connection with the death.

CPS decision

In response they said there was not enough communication between hospital staff and police about how to deal with the situation and no-one took overall control.

They added that no strategy was formed by officers before they went in.

The jury also highlighted a lack of training for both police and hospital staff.

The CPS, which in 2008 and after studying an IPCC report decided not to seek prosecutions against any officers involved, said they would examine the inquest findings to see if a review of the earlier decision was needed.

Assistant Chief Constable Paul Broadbent said: "As is often the case when police are faced with volatile and dynamic circumstances, split-second decisions need to be made, and the tactics deemed most suitable applied. In this case an officer chose to use CS spray.

"We will now consider the IPCC's recommendations in the light of the jury's findings to identify any additional areas for learning and development."

Carolyn White, Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Chief Executive, said: "The trust's own internal investigations, carried out at the time, identified a number of areas where improvements could be made.

"Those recommendations have been fully implemented and we continue to monitor carefully the risks posed to our patients and staff as a result of violence and aggression, including where patients are ill and confused."

County Antrim developer's sites in receivership

anglo irish bank

Anglo Irish Bank has appointed a receiver to two sites owned by the prominent County Antrim developer Mervyn McAlister.

The sites at Greenhall Highway in Coleraine and Dunlady Road in Dundonald were the property of McAlister Construction Ltd.

The company has a registered address at a firm of accountants at Queen Street in Coleraine.

Mr McAlister is the sole shareholder.

A number of other firms which he controls are based at the same address in Coleraine.

Mr McAlister, a house builder and hotel owner, came to prominence in 2007 when he announced plans to build a 37 storey skyscraper in Belfast which would have been the tallest building in the city.

However the development was blocked by planners, a decision Mr McAlister is appealing.

The appeal hearing for the Aurora project is due to be held next month.

In December Mr McAlister announced he was temporarily closing his Ballycastle hotel, the Marine.

All of Mr McAlister's companies are continuing to trade.

A bank appoints a receiver when it doubts a company's ability to repay all of its debts and wants assets sold so that it can get its money back.

The receiver also takes control of any rental income the properties are earning.

Kerr murder overcomes decades of suspicion

Ronan Kerr
Image caption Ronan Kerr was a member of both the PSNI and the GAA

The significance of the symbolism should not be underestimated.

Police officers and Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) members together, helping to carry a friend and colleague to his graveside.

Ronan Kerr, who was murdered by dissident republicans outside his Omagh home on Saturday, straddled both worlds, worlds that a few years ago, would have been almost mutually exclusive.

Yes, during the worst days of the Troubles there were always some Catholic officers who continued to play Gaelic games.

But it was at a risk to their personal security and needed a blind eye from clubs who were supposed to follow a rule that banned security force members.

Rule 21 as it was known, was put in place in 1897 when it was suspected that the former Royal Irish Constabulary was trying to place informants in the ranks of the GAA - then part of a growing nationalist movement on the island.

The Troubles copper-fastened the mutual suspicion. GAA members complained of police harassment at checkpoints on the way to matches.

GAA clubs, cups and competitions were named after dead republicans, reinforcing the view in unionist circles that the association was as much about politics as it was about sport.

Change came slowly. In 2001, the GAA overturned Rule 21 at about the same time that the PSNI was formally established out of the RUC.

It was four more years before the PSNI established its own GAA team, playing in college competitions.

Image caption An intercounty GAA team observing a minute's silence as a mark of respect

Catholic recruitment to the new service was steady, but the endorsement of the new policing structures by Sinn Fein was the last remaining obstacle to nationalist engagement with the PSNI.

It paved the way for many young men and women, who were already GAA members, to consider a career in the police.

That led to a broad acceptance of the service amongst the GAA fraternity - exemplified not only by the minute's silence for Ronan Kerr before last weekend's Tyrone National League match - but the manner in which it was observed.

A century of suspicion between the GAA and the police is being overcome, a large part of it laid to rest with the body of a young man, who served both traditions.

A 63-year-old man has been arrested after police found drugs and cash totalling more than £100,000.

Drugs squad officers stopped a car at Pirnhall, Stirling, and seized cocaine with a street value of about £10,500.

After searching a house in Alva, Clackmannanshire, officers found £30,000 of cash and £25,000 of jewellery.

A Central Scotland Police spokesman said "evidence of other wealth and drugs" was also found at the home.

The operation was carried out on 16 February after police received information about the car.

Sea Trust calls for volunteers to help track dolphins

Image caption Conservationists were delighted to see dolphins with their calves in Cardigan Bay

Marine conservationists want to launch volunteer groups along the Welsh coast to help track the winter habits of dolphins.

The Sea Trust spotted more than 50 bottlenose dolphins in its first spring boat trip in Cardigan Bay.

Trip organiser Cliff Benson said very little was known of the dolphins' winter movements.

"Some seem to move out of the bay, some stay - but who goes where is a mystery," he said.

The group, which is the marine arm of the Wildlife Trust South and West Wales, spent seven hours off the coast on Monday and encountered around 10% of Cardigan Bay's resident population of dolphins.

"One group were certainly full of the joys of spring with lots of interaction going on between the males and females," said Mr Benson.

"Calves were also present and we were glad to see them."

Many of the dolphins were already known to conservationists having been previously been spotted and photographed for Cardigan Bay Marine Wildlife Centre's records.

A marine company which carries out water sampling for the Environment Agency has offered the Sea Trust the use of its boats to carry out surveys all year round.

"Boat hire is expensive so this will give our volunteers a whole new capability," said Mr Benson.

"We are also looking at establishing more Sea Trust volunteer groups in Cardiff and Swansea to cover the Bristol Channel along with others in the northern Irish Sea.

"We aim to really boost our knowledge about the seasonality of our cetaceans and other marine megafauna such as basking sharks, sunfish and turtles."

Memorial plaques stolen from Western Cemetery, Cardiff

Thieves have stolen dozens of bronze dedication plaques from memorial benches at a Cardiff cemetery.

Fifty-eight plaques bearing dedications to loved ones were taken from the Western Cemetery in Ely in the early hours of Tuesday morning.

Cardiff Council managers, who are trying to contact relatives, said staff had been left shocked by the theft.

Officials said the scrap value is thought be less than £200 although the replacement cost will be around £1,500.

The theft comes in the same week youths in Prestatyn were caught on CCTV stealing a bench in memory of three year old Meg Burgess, who was crushed by a wall in 2008.

Cardiff Council have pledged to meet the financial cost of the latest thefts although the cemetery's manager said the emotional cost to relatives was greater.

"They've stolen these dedications, these last mementos of a loved one's life for scrap," said Alan Staniforth, manager of Western Cemetery.

"But they're not scrap. We will replace the plaques, but how can you repair the memories which they destroyed?"

Some of the families affected have already been contacted and offered replacements, though many haven't been able to be reached as the plaques date back to the cemetery's opening in 1935.

Laminated notices have been placed on each of the damaged benches, urging distressed relatives and friends to contact the cemetery office to arrange a free replacement.

The council said every effort was being made to contact people before they visit the graves and specialist support will also be available.

Martin Birch, operational manager of bereavement services for Cardiff Council said: "Staff are shocked and outraged by this theft and will be working closely with those families affected.

"It is impossible to comprehend the depths that some people will stoop to by stealing these precious memorials which mean so much to bereaved families."

"We would call on the local community to contact the police if they have any details about who may be responsible."

Dead British soldier shot in Afghanistan named by MoD

Private Bellingham
Image caption Private Bellingham's parents said he died doing a job he loved

A British soldier killed on patrol in Helmand province, Afghanistan, has been named by the Ministry of Defence.

Private Gareth Bellingham, 22, from Stoke on Trent, of 3rd Battalion The Mercian Regiment, was shot while on patrol with Afghan troops in the Nahr-e Saraj district on Saturday.

He was described as an "extremely hardworking and committed Warrior who was wholly respected".

The number of UK service personnel killed in Afghanistan stands at 374.

Private Bellingham's parents Leslie and Suzanne said he died doing the job he loved.

"We are all proud of the job he did. He will be sadly missed by family, friends and all those who knew him. Rest in peace," they said in a statement.

Lieutenant Colonel Giles Woodhouse, commanding officer of 3rd Battalion The Mercian Regiment, said Private Bellingham's death was a "tragic loss to the Battalion".

"Pte Bellingham was one of those soldiers that you had to have in your section; fearless, utterly professional, a prankster and a loyal friend who never let you down; quite simply he was a force for good.

"Observing Private Bellingham before deploying on a patrol with his Afghan Army partners with whom he had developed a genuine affinity, I can understand why they fought so hard to save him when he was mortally wounded.

'Excellent soldier'

"That his death has affected our partners as deeply as it has all the soldiers from the Battalion is testament to the high esteem in which he was held," he said.

The soldier had been been deployed from his base on Saturday with C Company Tactical Headquarters and Number 3 Tolay (Afghan National Army) in the Upper Gereshk Valley.

The troops were conducting a patrol to assess the situation on the ground and meet the local population who had recently returned to compounds in the area.

Colonel Jens Riis-Vestergaard, Commanding Officer Combined Force Nahr-e-Saraj (North) said Pte Bellingham's "conduct, professionalism, confidence and good nature helped reassure and protect a population in harms way".

"Typical of his unit, fighting to keep others safe, he was an excellent soldier who will be desperately missed by all in Combined Force Nahr-e-Saraj (North)," he said.

Lance Corporal Rob Davis, Section Commander, C Company, 3rd Battalion The Mercian Regiment (Staffords) said: "Bell, as we sometimes called him, was the morale within our Section.

"He was never afraid to tell anyone 'how it was' and was the life and soul of the party.

"He was always whinging, but in a way that always cracked us up. He was a top bloke and a good soldier."

On Saturday, two other soldiers, who died in separate incidents on Thursday, were named as Corporal Lloyd Newell and Craftsman Andrew Found.

Milk poisoning in northwest China 'deliberate'

A grieving woman protests outside the Ministry of Health in Beijing. File photo
Image caption Chinese people remain concerned about dairy industry safety standards after the 2008 scandal

Three children who died after drinking tainted milk appear to have been the victims of deliberate poisoning, Chinese state media says.

Investigators said the industrial salt nitrite had been added to fresh milk at two dairies in the north-western Gansu province in order to harm people.

They had detained suspects in the city of Pingliang, the China Daily reported.

Thirty-six other people, mostly children, were taken to hospital after drinking the tainted milk.

The incident happened on 8 April and as of 10 April 17 people remained in hospital, Xinhua news agency said.

The children that died were all under the age of two, with the youngest only 36 days old.

Food safety scandals in China have badly damaged consumer confidence, particularly in the dairy industry.

Earlier this month, China's quality inspection agency shut down nearly half of the country's 1,176 dairies as part of a campaign to clean up the industry.

In 2008, at least six babies died and another 300,000 were made ill by drinking infant formula tainted with melamine.

The industrial chemical had been added to dairy products to make them seem high in protein.

The scandal led to a worldwide recall of Chinese dairy products and was a major embarrassment for the country's Communist leadership.

Beijing later vowed to constantly monitor milk quality to restore consumer confidence.

In full: Queen's Ireland state banquet speech

Media playback is unsupported on your device
Media captionThe Queen's speech from Dublin Castle in full

The Queen has given a speech at a state banquet at Dublin Castle on her historic first visit to the Republic of Ireland. Here is the speech in full:

"A hUachtarain agus a chairde [president and friends].

"Prince Philip and I are delighted to be here, and to experience at first hand Ireland's world famous hospitality.

"Together we have much to celebrate: the ties between our people, the shared values, and the economic, business and cultural links that make us so much more than neighbours, that make us firm friends and equal partners.

"Madame President, speaking here in Dublin Castle it is impossible to ignore the weight of history, as it was yesterday when you and I laid wreaths at the Garden of Remembrance.

"Indeed so much of this visit reminds us of the complexity of our history, its many layers and traditions, but also the importance of forbearance and conciliation, of being able to bow to the past but not be bound by it.

"Of course the relationship has not always been straightforward; nor has the record over the centuries been entirely benign.

"It is a sad and regrettable reality that through history our islands have experienced more than their fair share of heartache, turbulence and loss.

"These events have touched us all, many of us personally, and are a painful legacy. We can never forget those who have died or been injured or their families.

"To all those who have suffered as a consequence of our troubled past I extend my sincere thoughts and deep sympathy.

"With the benefit of historical hindsight we can all see things which we would wish had been done differently or not at all.

"But it is also true that no one who looked to the future over the past centuries could have imagined the strength of the bonds that are now in place between the governments and the people of our two nations, the spirit of partnership that we now enjoy, and the lasting rapport between us.

"No one here this evening could doubt that heartfelt desire of our two nations.

"Madame President, you have done a great deal to promote this understanding and reconciliation. You set out to build bridges. And I have seen it first hand, your success in bringing together different communities and traditions on this island.

"You have also shed new light on the sacrifice of those who served in the First World War. Even as we jointly opened the Messines Peace Park in 1998 it was difficult to look ahead to the time when you and I would be standing together at Islandbridge as we were today.

"That transformation is also evident in the establishment of a successful power-sharing executive in Northern Ireland. A knot of history that was painstakingly loosened by the British and Irish Governments together with the strength, vision and determination of the political parties in Northern Ireland.

"What were once only hopes for the future have now come to pass; it is almost exactly 13 years since the overwhelming majority of people in Ireland and Northern Ireland voted in favour of the agreement signed on Good Friday 1998, paving the way for Northern Ireland to become the exciting and inspirational place that it is today.

"I applaud the work of all those involved in the peace process and of all those who support and nurture peace, including members of the police, the Garda and the other emergency services, and those who work in the communities, the Churches and charitable bodies like Co-operation Ireland.

"Taken together, their work not only serves as the basis for reconciliation between our peoples and communities, but it gives hope to other peacemakers across the world that through sustained effort, peace can and will prevail.

"For the world moves on quickly. The challenges of the past have been replaced by new economic challenges which will demand the same imagination and courage.

"The lessons from the peace process are clear - whatever life throws at us, our individual responses will be all the stronger for working together and sharing the load.

"There are other stories written daily across these islands which do not find their voice in solemn pages of history books, or newspaper headlines but which are at the heart of shared narrative.

"Many British families have members who live in this country, as many Irish families have close relatives in the United Kingdom. These families share the two islands; they have visited each other and have come home to each other over the years.

"They are the ordinary people who yearned for the peace and understanding we now have between our two nations and between the communities within those two nations; a living testament to how much in common we have.

"These ties of family, friendship and affection are our most precious resource. They are the lifeblood of the partnership across these islands, a golden thread that runs through all our joint successes so far, and all we will go on to achieve.

"They are a reminder that we have much to do together to build a future for all our grandchildren; the kind of future our grandparents could only dream of.

"So we celebrate together the widespread spirit of goodwill and deep mutual understanding that has served to make the relationship more harmonious, close as good neighbours should always be."

Egypt court: Remove Mubarak name from public places

Supporters of Hosni Mubarak in Cairo on 17/4/11
Image caption Mr Mubarak still has some support in Egypt

A court in Egypt has ruled that the names of ousted President Hosni Mubarak and his wife Suzanne be removed from all public places.

Hundreds of public squares, streets, libraries and schools across Egypt are named after the couple.

Mr Mubarak's 29 years in power ended with his resignation in February after weeks of mass anti-government protests.

The 82-year-old is currently under arrest at a hospital in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh.

He is due to be questioned about allegations of corruption and alleged violence against protesters during the popular uprising.

Egypt's state news agency Mena reported on Thursday that his health is "unstable".

'Excessive force'

Portraits of the former president have already been taken down at public institutions across the country.

Ordering the same to be done for the Mubarak name, Judge Mohammed Hassan Omar said: "It has become clear that the size of the corruption that's being uncovered every day exceeds by far anyone's imagination."

After the ruling, the transport minister said the Mubarak name would be removed from all ministry facilities, including a major underground station in central Cairo.

There are suggestions for streets to be renamed after the people who were killed in the recent anti-government protests, the BBC's Yolande Knell in Cairo reports.

An Egyptian government fact-finding panel reported recently that at least 846 people were killed and 6,400 were injured during the 18 days of protests earlier this year.

The mission - consisting of a panel of judges - said security forces fired live ammunition, placed snipers on rooftops and used vehicles to run over protesters.

Mr Mubarak's two sons are among a growing number of ministers and officials from his ruling circle who are also facing investigation.

CityVille 2 Review: Unleash Your Inner Urban Planner

Date: Nov 06 2012 19:03:05 Source: Inside Social Games Views:
KeyWord: CityVille 2 Review, CityVille 2, CityVille 2 Facebook, Zynga CityVille 2

CityVille 2 is a game which popularized many of the conventions you see in other citybuilding social games today. CityVille 2 is a complete reimagining of its predecessor, adopting a thoroughly modern 3D aesthetic and changing up its game mechanics significantly enough to make it an obviously different game rather than simply a reskinned version of the original.

By Pete Davison From Inside Social Games

In CityVille 2, players are once again cast in the role of a fledgling township's mayor. In what would have been a genuinely surprising twist if it hadn't already been spoiled by the media, the player's mayoral estate is blown up shortly after the game begins. Much of the game's overarching storyline consists of working alongside two colorful "cop" characters to investigate various local residents and uncover the mystery of who was responsible for the attack. These "investigation" quests crop up at fairly regular intervals as the player progresses through the game, but it's not possible to "rush" through them.

CityVille 2 Review

As the player expands into various new districts, each district gains experience and may eventually be assigned a "specialism" — either residential, commercial or industrial. Residential districts generate shoppers more quickly, commercial districts increase the payout from businesses and industrial sectors are quicker at crafting special items using collected resources.

CityVille 2 Review

Despite these issues, though, CityVille 2 is off to a solid start, and its future looks bright. If Zynga can work on resolving the few problems the game has, they'll have an excellent social game on their hands. As it stands, the name and brand alone are likely to make CityVille a huge success at least in the short term, but it remains to be seen if the game will stand the test of time as well as its predecessor.

He and Him

He and Him

4.11 - 1251 ratings - Source

He and Him is an autobiography dealing with both psychology and archaeology in the author's life. He was born during the Great Depression. His parents were an Ohio .farmerette and a man from the Tennessee mountains who had become an alcoholic on moonshine whiskey. It was a dysfunctional family from the start. The mom soon developed very serious emotional problems apparently because she wasn't satisfied with the man whom she had married. When the author was a six-year-old boy she told him that she planned to take him and leave his dad. However, she did the exact opposite and had more kids. Upon adding more offspring to the household; the author, then seven years old, became the victim of terrible physical and emotional abuse, as well as complete neglect. From the age of seven the author had to essentially raise himself. He tried to avoid his parents as much as possible by spending his days in the fields and meadows by himself collecting butterflies, pretty rocks, and looking for prehistoric Indian arrowheads. After finding a few Indian arrowheads on farms in Ohio he started a collection of Indian arrowheads and other artifacts at a very young age. His collection eventually turned into a very renowned private museum as he got a little older. When the author was almost thirteen years old his parents quit farming and started operating their own country store in a different community. Chapter 3 in this book describes life in country stores in Ohio during the 1940s and 1950s. The author lived in such a country store environment until he turned eighteen and went away to college. He was the first of any of his relatives to ever go away to college. His mother furnished him money to attend college, but he did it completely on his own with absolutely no family encouragement or support to get a degree. From qthe time that the author started getting educated his mom refused to ever call him by his given name. She only referred to him as either qHe or Him.q Others in the family soon became full of covetousness towards him because they perceived that he had advantages which they didn't have. Competitive jealousy of others in the household mounted, their believinq that they had to try to outdo the educated member of the family. A long, drawn-out, bitter family war against the author ensued. Disrespect for the author's higher education continued in later years by not only the third generation, but also by in-laws who didn't even know the author when he was in college! After receiving both a BS degree and an MA degree in geology, with a master's thesis dealing with archaeology of Archaic Indian sites near his hometown, the author took a temporary summer job as a national park ranger at Canyon de Chelly National Monument at Chinle, Arizona. Canyon de Chelly is located in the center of the vast Navajo Indian Reservation. Getting to live and work in such a beautiful natural area was like a dream come true. That first summers work at Canyon de Chelly motivated the author to eventually work as a seasonal park ranger in six other national parks and monuments. After working at Canyon de Chelly for one summer , the author ended up going back to Arizona where he lived for ten more years. He married a woman in Kansas who he hardly even knew, then he went to the University of Arizona where he spent two years working towards a PhD degree. After that, he and his wife spent eight more years back on the Navajo Indian Reservation. During those years on the reservation he taught Navajo Indian children on a substitute teaching certificate. It was a full-time job in the winter. Almost all of his students were Navajo Indians. He taught all grade levels from kindergarten through high school. Chapters 6, 7, and 8 of this book are devoted to stories about life in remote areas of the reservation in the 1960s and 1970s. At that time the author's doctor and grocery stores were 145 miles from where he lived. There weWhen the author was almost thirteen years old his parents quit farming and started operating their own country store in a different community. Chapter 3 in this book describes life in country stores in Ohio during the 1940s and 1950s.

DIY Lip Scrub For Dry Lip || Blogmas Day 22

1 comment
During the winter, your lips can get dry so easily, because of the weather. Here is an easy DIY Lip Scrub, that will help to heal and prevent dry lips. Also, it is made with ingredients that you are likely to have in your kitchen.
You will need:
A small pot
2-3 teaspoons of sugar
1-2 teaspoons of honey
A tiny drop of warm water

It is very simple. All you have to do is put all of these ingredients into your container. I just used an empty pot, which previously had a Lush Lip Scrub in it. After you have put the honey and sugar into the pot, add the tiniest little drop of warm water and mix it together (I used the end of a makeup brush to do this).
I have only used the lip scrub a couple of times so far, but it definitely makes a noticable difference and it is so easy to make.

Tomorrow, my post will be a DIY Hand Scrub for Dry Hands.

With winters just around the corner, it is time for us to change our skin care routine and take that extra special care of our skin. Winter can particularly be the most difficult and trying time for the skin as it starts to feel dry, cracked and irritated.

Read on to find out some simple tips which you can incorporate in your everyday routine for flawless and healthy skin this winter.

1. Drinking plenty of Water
Since it's not hot and humid anymore it can be very easy to forget to drink water at regular intervals. Hydrating your skin from within by drinking lots of water is crucial during winters. Always carry a bottle of water while travelling. Herbal tea is also a good alternative when it gets really cold. Drinking at least 9 to 13 glasses of water every day will give you healthy and glowing skin all year round.

2. Exfoliate
Exfoliating your skin is a great way to get rid of all the dead cells which tend to be dry and coarse. It also allows the moisturizer to penetrate the skin better. Just make sure you don’t exfoliate more than twice a week and switch to gentle exfoliators which soothe your skin while retaining the natural moisture.

3. Moisturize
Most people find it difficult to switch their skin care routine from summer to winter. You need to cut off your harsh face scrubs and toners during winters because it dries out your skin even more. If you moisturize once a day during summers then moisturize twice a day during winters. Applying a hydrating Night cream will also help in rejuvenating your skin while you sleep.

4. Don’t Skip that Sunscreen
Don’t say goodbye to your sunscreen just yet ! Sun protection is probably the last thing on your mind during winters, but the sun’s rays can damage your skin even on cloudy days. Always apply sunscreen with SPF 15 or more every day or you could use a tinted moisturizer with SPF. Apply the sunscreen 30 minutes before going outside and apply it again every 2 hours if you are planning to stay out for a longer time. Another easy alternative especially if you do not like to apply layers of product on your face is to mix your sunscreen with foundation to given an even finish to your face.

5. Use Lip balms with SPF
Don’t neglect your lips. Since lips do not have any natural oils they are prone to drying and chapping during winters. Use a lip scrub to exfoliate your lips to remove the dead cells from time to time. Sun exposure can make chapped lips even worse; apply plenty of lip balm with a sunscreen of SPF 15 or more in it. Avoid licking your lips too often as they lead to dry and bleeding lips. Always carry a lip balm while travelling and apply it as and when you feel your lips are beginning to dry. If you apply lipstick regularly then choose a moisturising lipstick to keep your lips from cracking.

Well, I hope this post has been helpful and hope all of you out there take great care of your skin this holiday season. Happy Holidays..!!

The Perfect Summer Candle?

 Summer isn't a time of the year that people usually think to burn candles, but I think they're suitable for all year round!
I love fruity and fresh scents in the Summer, but I think most of you will agree that no smell reminds people of Summer more than freshly cut grass!

If you're a hayfever sufferer then maybe this won't be a favourite for you, but my boyfriend suffers with it and he still loves this candle haha!

This scent does exactly what it says on the jar, it smells like you've just picked up a handful of cut grass and stuck your face in it!

It has really good scent throw, but isn't overpowering at the same time, some scents can linger in your house for days after you blow the candle out and end up giving me a headache if I burn them for too long but this is a perfect candle to keep burning all day for a subtle, fresh smell throughout your house.

I also love the colour of this candle, and the picture on the front is just the epitome of Summer.

This scent was a QVC exclusive in the UK a few months ago, but you can still get them on Ebay so I'd definitely suggest picking up a wax melt and trying it out for yourself.

Top: ASOS | Trousers: Urban Outfitters | Boots: ASOS | Jacket: Primark | Bag: Zara

Changing career paths as of today and becoming a chef! Or maybe I suit a doctor what with my doctor's bag?

I love these trousers a LOT. I don't think I've felt this way about a pair of trousers since I splurged on my very first pair of American Apparel disco pants. They were around the £50 mark which is a little steep but you know what it's like when you fall in love with something. I just couldn't leave them behind.. and then student discount tempted me even more...

The bag was another cheeky purchase recently. I've been umm'ing and ahh'ing over whether to return the infamous city bag from Zara. I almost bought it once before but stopped myself just before the cashier called me over. At £60 it's not exactly a Primark price! Then me and my Mum found ourselves in Zara a couple of weeks ago which resulted in her treating herself to a new bag... and then I saw this beauty just sitting there, glowing in all its beauty. Love at first sight all over again and before I knew it, my little legs were walking over towards the tills and then I found myself walking out of the store with a giant Zara bag with my new pride and joy inside. However, today I pulled the tags off so whoops... looks like it's here to stay.

I returned to Uni today after a couple of weeks of not attending. A lack of creativity and motivation got the better of me and well... laziness and a fear of failure crept over me which has seen me waste five weeks. However, I now have a strong concept for my final major project (praise the lord, it's nearly over) so I am doing a lot of planning at the moment!

Any tips for keeping motivated?

  1. I love these trousers so much, I know hoe you feel about the Zara bag, I feel I am denying myself haha! Beautigul look

The fall of the Wall and reunification

Signing of the Final Quadripartite Protocol
Bild: Landesarchiv Berlin

The initialing of the Berlin agreement on September 3 makes possible a number of practical arrangements benefiting the people.

On December 17, the Federal Republic of Germany and the GDR sign a transit agreement improving the flow of traffic on the access routes to West Berlin.

On December 20, the Berlin Senate and the GDR government sign an “arrangement concerning the facilitation and improvement of travel and visitor traffic” and an “arrangement on the regulation of the enclaves question by exchange of territory.”

On June 3 in Berlin, the four foreign ministers sign the Final Quadripartite Protocol to the Berlin agreement of 1971, which also puts the subsequent agreements in force. Half a year later, the Federal Republic of Germany and the GDR conclude the Basic Treaty. West Berlin becomes part of the détente process. [Film].

Tegel Airport opens on November 1 in West Berlin.

On the basis of an agreement between the GDR federation of Protestant churches and the GDR government, reconstruction work begins on the Berlin Cathedral, heavily damaged by the war, located on the Spree island in East Berlin’s Mitte borough (completed in 1993).

Palace of the Republic
Bild: Landesarchiv Berlin

Work on the largest apartment-construction project in the history of the GDR begins in the spring in Marzahn, an area in East Berlin. By 1990, 62,000 apartments will have been built in pre-fabricated high-rises.

On April 23, the Palace of the Republic (Palast der Republik) is opened on the grounds of the former City Palace in East Berlin’s Mitte borough. Starting in 1990, the building remains empty for years until the work of demolishing it begins in 2006. It is making way for the construction of a building that will be a replica of the City Palace torn down in 1950.

The State Library (Staatsbibliothek), designed by Hans Scharoun, opens on December 15 near the Kulturforum in West Berlin.

With the new Marzahn development at its center, the borough of Marzahn is established in January as the first of three new boroughs in East Berlin, followed by Hohenschönhausen (1985) and Hellersdorf (1986).

On April 2, the International Congress Center (ICC) opens at the trade fair grounds in West Berlin.

Construction begins in Hellersdorf, an area in East Berlin, on another new housing estate for 90,000 residents.

The new transit highway to Hamburg is officially opened on November 20.

West Berlin’s public transportation company BVG takes over the operation of the S-Bahn suburban railway in West Berlin from the GDR’s Reichsbahn on January 9.

On February 8, the GDR’s party and government head lays the foundation stone for the new development area in East Berlin’s Hohenschönhausen. By 1990, 30,000 apartments housing 100,000 people will have been built here.

The reconstructed Schauspielhaus theater, originally designed by Karl Friedrich Schinkel and badly damaged during the war, reopens on October 1 at Platz der Akademie in East Berlin’s Mitte borough (now known as Konzerthaus Berlin am Gendarmenmarkt).

The 18th Bundesgartenschau horticultural exhibition takes place from April to October in the West Berlin borough of Neukölln at what is today the BUGA Park in Britz.

The Marx-Engels Forum is officially opened on April 4 in the heart of East Berlin.

A bomb explodes at the West Berlin disco “La Belle” on April 5, killing two people and injuring 193 others.

President Reagan in Berlin
Bild: Landesarchiv Berlin

All attempts to hold a joint celebration of the 750th anniversary of the founding of Berlin fail, and the two halves of the city each pay tribute to the anniversary with events of their own. Construction highlights in East Berlin include the inauguration of the reconstructed Nikolaiviertel, rebuilt around the oldest church in Berlin’s city center in a style reminiscent of the area’s historic past, and the reconstruction of Husemannstrasse in the Prenzlauer Berg borough in the style of the 19th century.

The International Building Exhibition takes place in West Berlin. Under the heading of “The inner city as a residential area,” it explores issues like “careful urban renewal” in Kreuzberg and “critical reconstruction” in new development, as with the construction of townhouses and energy-efficient housing in the Tiergarten borough.

On June 12, U.S. president Ronald Reagan gives his famous speech at Brandenburg Gate: “Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!”<

More than a hundred members of independent peace and human rights groups are arrested on January 17 in connection with the annual state-sponsored demonstration in East Berlin on the anniversary of the murder of Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht.

West Berlin’s governing mayor Eberhard Diepgen (from the conservative CDU) meets with GDR head of government Erich Honecker on February 11 at East Berlin’s Schloss Niederschönhausen. They discuss easing restrictions on travel and visitor traffic, the exchange of emissions data, territorial exchanges, opening additional border crossing points, and railway traffic.

The symbolic laying of the foundation stone for the reconstruction of the New Synagogue on Oranienburger Strasse in East Berlin’s Mitte borough takes place on November 10.

The growing GDR people’s movement, with its calls for reforms in the GDR along the line of the Soviet Union’s “glasnost” and “perestroika,” puts the GDR leadership increasingly on the defensive.

On October 6, 2,500 people gathered in East Berlin’s Church of the Redeemer (Erlöserkirche) approve a joint declaration drafted by various groups connected to the organization New Forum (Neues Forum) that calls for, among other things, free elections in the GDR.

On October 7, the GDR celebrates the 40th anniversary of its founding in East Berlin. Guests include the Soviet Union’s party and government head Michail Gorbatschow, who makes the famous remark “Life punishes those who come too late.” Demonstrations on the street from Alexanderplatz to the Palace of the Republic and the Gethsemane Church in Prenzlauer Berg call for freedom of speech and reforms in the GDR. In the evening, security forces break up the demonstrations by force, arresting many of the demonstrators.

Brandenburg Gate (1989)
Bild: Landesarchiv Berlin

On October 18, at the 9th meeting of the SED Central Committee, Erich Honecker resigns as SED general secretary, head of the GDR Council of State, and head of the National Security Council “for health reasons.” Egon Krenz succeeds him.

On November 4, more than 500,000 East Berliners gather at Alexanderplatz for a demonstration, demanding that the nominal rights to freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom of assembly be honored. The SED leadership promises that restrictions on travel to the West will be eased.

The conflicts over the new travel regulations escalate to the point that the GDR gives way to public pressure and, on November 9, opens the Wall in Berlin and along the German-German border.
The Berlin Wall has fallen. [Film].

San Fermin Astounds With Sophomore Album

San Ferman

Nashville - Brooklyn-based San Fermin have just released Jackrabbit, their sophomore album (on Downtown Records) that follows their 2013 self-titled debut. Two years after San Fermin, the band has moved into a more grounded sound, though it’s just as spontaneous and investigational as their very first release. However, there’s an earthiness to Jackrabbit that doesn’t exist within the band’s debut, which is far more atmospheric and soars to a more experimental realm. Differences aside and years in the making, San Fermin have continued to make a name for themselves, however uniquely.  (Ed., Best New Bands honored them in 2014 as our Newbie Award winner for Best New Band.)

Characterized by punchy percussion, blooming vocals and bursting horns all framed by thoughtful lyrics, the eight-piece arrangement is headed by the young but thoroughly accomplished Ellis Ludwig-Leone. Foremost a composer, Ludwig-Leone has furnished an ambitious and successful outfit in San Fermin, and Jackrabbit aims to give each band member—Allen Tate, Charlene Kaye, Rebekah Durham, John Brandon, Stephen Chen, Tyler McDiarmid, and Michael Hanf—a significant chunk of focus. And it’s this emphasis on collaboration that makes Jackrabbit so incredibly enjoyable, and especially artistic.

While there’s so much going on at once in San Fermin’s music, it’s a controlled, listenable chaos that moves in and out of rhythm and disorder. Heavily but equally instrumental, the album isn’t carried by one or a couple of elements in particular—everything and everyone is prominently featured on this album. Sometimes, it’s the drums that steal the spotlight, and in other moments it’s Kaye’s exquisite high notes that provide just enough tension against Tate’s deeper vocals that turns the album into a conversation, or a story.

“Emily” emerges as one of the album’s songs that features the best of all the band’s many working parts. The beat is consistent and prominent, the vocals play on that duality between high and low, and each instrument is distinct but comes together to form a track that is entirely elevated. Though the lyrics tell a story and are nevertheless an important component, they aren’t the most important part, or even the most central piece, of “Emily.” Everything stands out here—and it’s beautiful, complicated, and improvisational.

Conversely, “Astronaut” is spare, dreamy, and subtle. Here, Tate’s voice takes the lead as the instrumentals slowly build up only to recede into an understated progression. Nothing here really jumps out, and nothing in “Astronaut” is quite as punctuated as the album’s other 14 tracks. In this song, however, Kaye’s impossibly high notes towards the end slowly lead the way not into a climax (which would be the predictable option), but into a cliffhanger. It was at this point that I really began to feel something, as there’s an intensely emotional—not just artistic—quality at play.

San Fermin has showed us—for the second time—that there’s beauty to be found in experimental and tentative places. Unafraid of risk, Ludwig-Leone has formed something wholly inspired and mysterious within his band, and they occupy a place all their own. In the genre’s most literal definition, Jackrabbit is indie pop—but these compositions, arrangements, sounds, and words come together into something that’s much more transcendent. There’s really no proper label for it, no simple brand, and that’s what makes this album a triumph. With so much potential, and so much energy poured into pure imagination, San Fermin’s next endeavor will most likely reach an even more exciting, more daring place than before.

San Fermin have tour dates planned in Europe in order to promote this latest album. They begin a North American tour on May 7. As we wrote last fall in a live review, “in-person, San Fermin soars to extraordinarily explosive peaks.”

In recent years, the public has become increasingly fascinated with the criminal mind. Television series centered on courtroom trials, criminal investigations, and forensic psychology are more popular than ever. More and more people are interested in the American system of justice and the individuals who experience it firsthand. Minds on Trial: Great Cases in Law and Psychology gives you an inside view of 20 of the highest profile legal cases of the last 50 years. Drs. Ewing and McCann take you "behind the scenes" of each of these cases, some involving celebrities like Woody Allen, Mike Tyson, and Patty Hearst, and explain the impact they had on the fields of psychology and the law. Many of the cases in this book, whether involving a celebrity client or an ordinary person in an extraordinary circumstance, were determined in part by the expert testimony of a psychologist or other mental health professional. Psychology has always played a vital role in so many aspects of the American legal system, and these fascinating trials offer insight into many intriguing psychological issues. In addition to expert testimony, some of the issues discussed in this entertaining and educational book include the insanity defense, brainwashing, criminal profiling, capital punishment, child custody, juvenile delinquency, and false confessions. In Minds on Trial, the authors skillfully convey the psychological and legal drama of each case, while providing important and fresh professional insights. Mental health and legal professionals, as well as others with an interest in psychology and the law will have a hard time putting this scholarly, yet readable book down.

ANew York TimesNotable Book ATime Magazine"Best Comix of the Year" ASan Francisco ChronicleandLos Angeles TimesBest-seller Wise, funny, and heartbreaking,Persepolisis Marjane Satrapi's memoir of growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. In powerful black-and-white comic strip images, Satrapi tells the story of her life in Tehran from ages six to fourteen, years that saw the overthrow of the Shah's regime, the triumph of the Islamic Revolution, and the devastating effects of war with Iraq. The intelligent and outspoken only child of committed Marxists and the great-granddaughter of one of Iran's last emperors, Marjane bears witness to a childhood uniquely entwined with the history of her country. Persepolispaints an unforgettable portrait of daily life in Iran and of the bewildering contradictions between home life and public life. Marjane's child's-eye view of dethroned emperors, state-sanctioned whippings, and heroes of the revolution allows us to learn as she does the history of this fascinating country and of her own extraordinary family. Intensely personal, profoundly political, and wholly original,Persepolisis at once a story of growing up and a reminder of the human cost of war and political repression. It shows how we carry on, with laughter and tears, in the face of absurdity. And, finally, it introduces us to an irresistible little girl with whom we cannot help but fall in love.
