Saba Sams’s unsettling, full-throated Send Nudes (Bloomsbury) captures girls and young women on the brink of change Jem Calder’s Reward System (Faber) smartly anatomises contemporary life in the relentless glare of the smartphone and Gurnaik Johal’s We Move (Serpent’s Tail) delicately traces relationships and disconnections across a British-Punjabi community. Three notable debut short-story collections introduced fresh, contemporary new voices. And Sheena Patel’s I’m a Fan (Rough Trade Books) punctures the bubbles of social media in a fierce tale of obsession and power dynamics. Jon Ransom’s The Whale Tattoo (Muswell), focusing on a gay working-class man in watery rural Norfolk, is lyrical, atmospheric and brutal by turns. The book delves deep into faith, violence, addiction, ambition and love with power and grace. An Olive Grove in Ends by Moses McKenzie (Wildfire) portrays a young Black man’s struggle to define what success might look like in a Bristol neighbourhood in the grip of gentrification. Three hard-hitting debut novels shone out. And in Amy & Lan (Chatto), set on a ramshackle farm commune, Sadie Jones gives us a wonderfully achieved child’s-eye view of messy family interactions and the up-close life-and-death drama of the natural world. Douglas Stuart followed Booker winner Shuggie Bain with a tough and tender story of family dysfunction and first love in Young Mungo (Picador). Namwali Serpell’s second novel, The Furrows (Hogarth), brilliantly dramatises the psychic dislocations of grief over a lifetime through the story of a woman haunted by the memory of her younger brother, who died under her care in childhood. Ross Raisin has quietly become one of Britain’s most interesting novelists: A Hunger (Cape) explores the conflict between ambition and duty as a chef takes on a caring role when her husband develops dementia. There are no laughs, however, in Sarah Manguso’s chilling Very Cold People (Picador), an uncomfortable, deeply impressive account of how silence, snobbery and repression in a New England town allow the poison of abuse to trickle down the decades. Rebecca Wait’s I’m Sorry You Feel That Way (Riverrun) is a very funny, emotionally wise story of sibling rivalry and difficult mothers. Charlotte Mendelson skewers narcissistic control in The Exhibitionist (Mantle), a darkly witty portrait of an artist on the slide who has spent decades squashing the life and creative energies out of his wife and children. Georgi Gospodinov’s Time Shelter (W&N, translated from Bulgarian by Angela Rodel), in which a “clinic for the past” treats Alzheimer’s patients, plays with ideas of history and nostalgia to explore Europe’s 20th century and current confusion with wit and warmth. Maggie O’Farrell’s follow-up to Hamnet, The Marriage Portrait (Tinder), is a glittering Renaissance fable of a girl caught up in Italian aristocratic intrigue, and Kate Atkinson is on deliciously acerbic form in Shrines of Gaiety (Doubleday), exposing the underbelly of London nightlife in the roaring 20s. ![]() ![]() Catherine Chidgey’s Remote Sympathy (Europa) is an excellent investigation of communal guilt and obliviousness to Nazi atrocities, while in Trust (Picador) Hernan Diaz deconstructs capitalist excess and the illusion of money through different perspectives on the story of a New York financier. Shehan Karunatilaka won the Booker prize with The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida(Sort Of), a blistering murder-mystery-cum-ghost-story set amid the carnage of Sri Lanka’s civil war that similarly focuses on the effort to preserve ordinary life in the face of sectarian violence. Based around a dangerous affair between a young Catholic woman and an older Protestant man, it combines gorgeously direct and acute prose with an incisive eye for social detail. Other standout novels illuminating the past include Louise Kennedy’s Trespasses (Bloomsbury), set in Northern Ireland during the 70s. The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida by Shehan Karunatilaka ![]()

To find out more about King Harvest and the Weight, visit co.The first band to record this song was Boffolongo, which was fronted by Larry Hoppen. I love the way he always wore these wooden balls tied to his pants and just generally enjoyed the classic rock ‘n’ roll life of decadence – but not surprisingly, it really f*cked him and the rest of Fleetwood Mac up! I’d recommend it. Oh, I also love Jon Ronson’s So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed – it’s a great example of how the internet can ruin your life. I read a corker of a book on holiday recently, actually. Her presence and vocals are incredible. So powerful, and clear as a bell. I’d heard her on the radio and never really paid much attention, but went to this gig for a change of scenery and she blew my mind. I’ve been to so many that I couldn’t possibly comment on that, but the best gig I’ve seen recently was Ren Harvieu at The Hebden Bridge Trades Club. If you’re up on the song names, it may also point you in the direction of where our band name originates. Monstrous musicians and amazing songs all the way through. I initially thought it was shite, but after a second listen I was hooked. I’m clearly far too young to remember it being released, but I remember borrowing it from The Central Library in Halifax when I was 14. I’ve thought about this none-stop for nearly three hours and I’m going to go with The Band’s self-titled album from 1969. Thank the lord Jools didn’t smatter it with Boogie Woogie mess. A killer song full of energy and a great song of a beast of an album. I remember seeing them play it on Jools ‘The Penguin’ Holland’s Later show and it blew my mind. Favourite SingleĪnother horrible question! I’ve never been a singles man, but one single that stands out to me, and one that I still love every time when I hear it, is One Armed Scissor by At The Drive In. I find them funny still every time I watch them. I spent the majority of my early 20s pissing myself at Ron Burgundy’s “I want to be on you” and Withnail’s demands for booze. looking at these questions, they are all on the lines of “If you had to take three albums on a desert island what would you take?” Well, that’s a superb way to get my brain cracking on a Wednesday afternoon! It’s a close tie between Anchorman and Withnail & I for me. Let’s be clear, Maps, is more than an exercise in championing the distinct sound and identity of bygone times, KH&TW’s infectious melodies, louche hooks and uplifting choruses channel a nu-Zeppelin, where technical achievement and sheer craft whitewash the fleeting modes of modern rubbish.ĪAA caught up with Ben before he went on stage at Voodoo Rooms. “We unashamedly wanted to echo those beautiful, bygone days, when young people would lie back and breathe-in albums like Jailbreak, Physical Graffiti, and A Day at the Races,” says Ben.” With references that revisit the formative sounds of youth, KH&TW dabble in the positively endless pool of 60s pop and 70s rock, enlivened by rich, warming inflections of pre-punk intensity.

The guidelines classify the following foods as protein foods:ĭairy products, such as milk, cheese, and yogurt, also contain protein. Both animal and plant foods can be excellent sources of protein. Protein is important for growth and development, especially duringĪccording to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2015–2020, a healthful eating pattern includes a variety of foods containing protein. Protein plays a role in many bodily processes, including: Protein is present in every body cell, and an adequate protein intake is important for keeping the muscles, bones, and tissues healthy. Examples include rice and beans, or peanut butter on whole wheat bread. People can combine incomplete protein sources to create a meal that provides all essential amino acids. Most plant foods are incomplete proteins, including beans, nuts, and grains. Incomplete proteins are proteins that do not contain all essential amino acids. Animal products, soy, and quinoa are complete proteins. Complete proteins are proteins that contain all essential amino acids. ![]() Proteins may be either complete or incomplete. There are nine essential amino acids that the human body does not synthesize, so they must come from the diet. The 20 amino acids that the body uses to create protein are: The specific order of amino acids determines the structure and function of each protein. Protein is made up of long chains of amino acids. The other macronutrients are fat and carbohydrates. Protein is one of three macronutrients, which are nutrients the body needs in larger amounts. ![]() ![]() ![]() While much of this sound like old wives’ tales the incidents that happen every year across United States give real evidence that the animals are deadly predators. ![]() This is because Fisher cats are really dangerous and have the reputation of pretty much killing all small animals in the surrounding areas that are not kept indoors. The Fisher cat sounds especially weighs on the minds of people who have pets like rabbits or cats. More often than not the Fisher Cat sounds are going to be constant and it will become a haunting experience. The sounds are much more prominent during the night and people have witnessed these animals screeching on for hours and hours together. While the animals do not prey in the day time they can still be spotted moving about. In the video you can notice that the animal screams out every few seconds and the pitch and the volume is constant. For example picture yourself in the place of this family that are going through this lonely wooded area in the dark and hear this lady like screech in the distance. There is a lot of eeriness associated with the Fisher cat call and most of it is to do with the ferociousness of the animal and the creepy sound of the Fisher cats screech, compounded by the fact that it is found in the wilderness and can be heard mainly during nights. It is well established that the Fisher cat makes the sounds to mate and attract other Fisher cats but people have also noticed the Fisher cat animal scream out just before or after a kill. The Fisher cat is a nocturnal animal and the fisher cat cry is sometimes a hunting cry and at others the Fisher cat call is just a mating call. Most people who hear the Fisher cat call for the first time are fairly convinced that they are hearing a human calling out for help. The shrillness lends a certain high pitch to the sound and makes it sound like a woman or a child. The sound of a Fisher cat is very shrill and resembles someone calling for help. Several nights and a few missing cat notices later other residents of the neighborhood confirmed that these were the sounds of a Fisher cat.įisher cats are ferocious predators belonging to the weasel family and are known for their eerie screams and liking for house cats. The shrieks were constant, high pitched and their resemblance to human voice was really eerie. When New Hampshire resident Duke Smith first heard the cry of a Fisher cat he thought he heard a baby dying slowly. ![]() ![]() ![]() The provision resulted in increases in vehicle-miles traveled and an overall increase in the number of trips.

However, it’s likely such savings would be consumed by an increase in journeys. If you remove “selfish” motorists and replace them with cooperative computers, much of the unused space between moving motor vehicles could be reclaimed. Leeming’s idea was conceived shortly after German mathematician Dietrich Braess released his paradox which demonstrated that “selfish” motorists could not be relied upon to consider the optimal travel times for all rather than just themselves, leading to delays for all. MORE FROM FORBES Elon Musk Dismisses Induced Demand, A Phenomenon First Witnessed In 1866 By Carlton Reid He observed that the more roads are built, the more traffic there is to fill those roads. Leeming, a British road-traffic engineer and county surveyor. This theory was described in detail in 1969 by J.J. Mumford was describing the as-yet-unnamed concept of induced demand in transport. Like the tailor’s remedy for obesity-letting out the seams of the trousers and loosening the belt-this does nothing to curb the greedy appetite that caused the fat to accumulate.” Writing in The New Yorker, the great urban planning specialist suggested that “ can be solved by increasing the capacity of the existing traffic routes. This quote was paraphrased from a 1955 article by Lewis Mumford. Urbanists have a pithy phrase to describe this phenomenon: “Building more roads to prevent congestion is like a fat man loosening his belt to prevent obesity.” Professor Lewis Mumford, 1957 Bettmann Archive ![]() Transport wonks know this as “induced demand.” Whenever a new road is built, or an older one is widened, a greater number of people decide to drive more. On the contrary, there’s much evidence that building more roads does not reduce congestion it increases it. Building extra roads in order to ease congestion enable more people to have access to convenient transport.” ![]() If congestion continues to increase, there is scope to improve the capacity of roads: it won’t require the whole country being it will just require a steady, moderate response to growing demand. ![]() And we should encourage them to be attracted to good things. “As you roll out technology that’s beneficial to people, people are attracted to it. If the roll-out of AVs leads to more traffic congestion-a prediction Bell disputed-the solution, he said, was to build more roads. But I’m also a technologist, and I can’t see any reason why, as a cyclist and a pedestrian, I won’t find myself more settled, more at peace, more in harmony with car users, as AVs are rolled out.” “I’m a cyclist, I cycle regularly around the city, and it infuriates me the way that Southampton’s drivers drive. “In an attempt to reduce emissions, many local authorities, including the Labour-run Council in Southampton where I serve, have been excessively replacing valuable space on roads with under-used cycle lanes,” he wrote. Councils should start providing infrastructure for AVs and, in the meantime, should stop providing infrastructure for cyclists, Bell argued. ![]() ![]() ![]() You can get a free online solar panel shadow calculator for your website and you don't even have to download the solar panel shadow calculator - you can just copy and paste!

If you want to add more panels later, wouldn’t it be a hassle to have to move the old panels first to make room? Save Yourself the Hassle In principle, this seems simple enough, but how far should you space them? The solution is to space your panels out so that during normal operation they avoid each others’ shadows. When you are setting up an array of solar panels, placing them too close together means your solar panels might be casting shadows over each other, reducing their output! Solar panels are themselves objects, and objects cast shadows. There’s a catch though, which (since you’ve arrived here) you’ve no doubt already realized. The more panels you have, and the better they track the sun, the more power you get. Great idea!
