Season's Greetings and End of Year Reflection from Oh Yeah Music Centre
Dear friends of Oh Yeah, we would like to wish you a very happy, restful, safe and healthy Christmas. Thank you for your support in 2021, from online engagement and participation through to coming out to gigs when we returned to live music and events. Your donations, purchases and messages of support have been so encouraging and it has meant a lot to the team here at Oh Yeah.
This year all our lives were still dominated by the challenges and uncertainty of Covid. It has been so difficult to see the music sector and our community so badly affected by the pandemic, but we were also immensely proud of the work and achievements of our musicians. From Mercury (Hannah Peel), Brit Award (Bicep) and Ivor Novello (Conor Mitchell) nominations through to the NI Music Prize, including a first all female line up of winners in the history of the awards, with Saint Sister and Dea Matrona leading the charge. We also finally got to present Mike Edgar with the Outstanding Contribution to Music award.
In November after over two years of hard work from Belfast City Council and the City of Music Steering group there was the proudest of moments when Belfast was officially named a UNESCO City of Music. We are excited about the opportunities this can bring and we are looking forward to supporting the next steps. Belfast City Council has stepped up for culture in the city and we are grateful for this commitment.
We want to pay tribute to all the musicians who have worked tirelessly for others. Even in a year when things have been toughest, artists have continued to donate proceeds of their music to charities they support. There is no more generous group of people. We also want to pay tribute to the late Steve Strange, a champion for NI music, friend, and giant of the music industry, who we sadly lost in September.
In 2021 Oh Yeah continued to adapt to new ways of working, from a blended approach to the joy of returning to being in the room together. We worked with hundreds of highly talented creative people, from musicians to producers, engineers, crew, production, mentors, tutors, facilitators, graphic designers, freelancers and more. They helped us achieve and deliver great work, from the Virtual Tour of NI to Women's Work, to the NI Music Prize, Sound of Belfast, Mothers In Music, Volume Control, ASK mentoring, youth outreach and arts and older people.
We commissioned two songs about Belfast for Sound of Belfast written by Gareth Dunlop and Jealous Of The Birds, and we even welcomed a new staff member Matt McGinn to the outreach team. The Oh Yeah venue has never looked or sounded better and we will continue to improve the facilities over the coming years. In short, we continued to engage with all ages, aspirations and levels, through music throughout the year.
Music creators keep on doing great things and here at Oh Yeah, we are more committed than ever to keep the doors open to music, to developing talent, to supporting and celebrating creativity. The challenge for 2022 is to retain and keep hold of the world-class talent that we have, to ensure we facilitate and support that talent and lead the way in making our cities and towns musicians and artist friendly spaces to create, build audiences and of course make a living. Musicians are innovative and resilient, the arts sector is innovative and resilient, but it has been chronically under-funded for far too long and we must make things better, for the benefit of all.
But there have also been very supportive funders and sponsors who without, we would have had to close the doors and so we want to thank them and acknowledge that support. To the Arts Council of Northern Ireland, Belfast City Council, Paul Hamlyn Foundation, Google/YouTube, Education Authority, Department for Communities, Department for the Economy, Northern Ireland Screen, PPL, PRS Foundation, PRS for Music, Help Musicians, Spirit of 2012. Thanks also to Yoko Ono and Sean Lennon for the donation of the 'Happy Christmas (War is Over)' rare acetate, we hope to auction it very soon! Thanks also to Gary Lightbody for all that you do for music in NI.
Big love to all the hard working creatives based in Oh Yeah – we have the best bunch of tenants. Final thanks goes the Oh Yeah staff and volunteers and to our new Chair Paul Evans, Vice Chair Lynne Best and all the Oh Yeah board. The commitment and support has been above and beyond.
Happy Christmas everyone, please stay healthy, be happy and let's move into 2022 with a renewed confidence.
From Charlotte, Dee, Caoimhe, Charlene, Lisa, Matt, Paul, Ryan, Seán and Sian!

NI Music Prize 2021 – How It Went
Saint Sister and Dea Matrona
triumph at NI Music Prize 2021
The NI Music Prize returned to the Ulster Hall on Wednesday 17th November for a live showcase of some of the best music artists we have to offer. The event, which was organised by the Oh Yeah Centre, also went out live on YouTube and BBC Radio Ulster.
After a year without gigs due to the pandemic, this was the first opportunity for fans, artists and industry in almost two years to get together for a much-needed celebration of all that is great about music from Northern Ireland.
There were jaw-dropping moments of live music from shortlisted acts Dani Larkin, New Pagans, Trú and Amy Montgomery, as well as special guest performances from Ash, Ryan McMullan and Sasha Samara.
It was a night for emotional speeches, tributes and dedications including a moving tribute to the late Steve Strange. The event also spotlighted the excellent work of Help Musicians throughout the pandemic.
UNESCO City of Music was officially marked with an opening address from the Lord Mayor Cllr Kate Nicholl and Hannah Peel.
Big moments included Saint Sister taking Best Album supported by PPL for their stunning record 'Where I Should End' decided by a panel on the night. Dea Matrona picked up the two other awards for Best Single (supported by YouTube Music) and ATL Contender Award as voted by the public.
It was a first ever all female line up of winners and while both acts were unable to pick up their awards due to touring commitments and show schedules, (another first for the night) there were beautiful acceptances on Saint Sister's behalf from Gemma Doherty's mum Sharon Hall and good friend and fellow artist Katie Richardson. Dea Matrona beamed in with a thank you and their manager Aidan Shortall picked up their awards.
Tim, Rick and Mark from the band ASH presented Mike Edgar with the Outstanding Contribution award for his 40 year career, impact and support for music. He made a heartfelt speech and got a rightly rousing applause.
Charlotte Dryden from Oh Yeah said. " Huge thanks to team involved in putting on such a massive show under some of the most challenging circumstances we have ever faced, led mostly by the effects of the pandemic. An army of great people helped get this over the line and the production was superb. It was an exceptional night of music and massive congratulations to all the acts involved right from the start of the process through to the winners. We have a world-class music scene here and we will keep telling people that."
Peter Leathem, Chief Executive Officer of PPL said: "Each year the Northern Ireland Music Prize celebrates the best of the country's music, showcasing a diverse range of artistic talent and recognising music as an important contributor to its culture, economy and community. PPL is proud to support Northern Ireland's music industry and would like to congratulate Saint Sister and all those recognised by this year's Prize for making music of exceptional quality."

The Prize is an annual recognition of new and outstanding musical talent from Northern Ireland. This year the event returns to the Ulster Hall after a hugely challenging time for music. The evening will mark the rebuilding and revival of our industry and artists as we finally emerge from the pandemic. It will be a chance to reflect but it's also an opportunity to look to the future with a renewed optimism. And of course it will be a night to celebrate the great music that our musicians have produced over the last twelve months.
The evening will feature live performances from shortlisted acts and special guests. Presenters will announce awards for Best Album presented by PPL, Best Single (supported by YouTube Music) and the ATL Contender Award. The evening includes the Outstanding Contribution to Music Award presentation to Mike Edgar and there will be a spotlight on the work of Help Musicians. There will also be a special dedication to the late Steve Strange who sadly passed away earlier this year.
The evening will also mark the recent designation of Belfast as UNESCO City of Music. Belfast has been awarded the coveted City of Music status celebrating the city's rich musical heritage and recognising the importance of music to its future. Belfast is only the third city in the UK to become a City of Music with Liverpool receiving it in 2016 and Glasgow in 2008. It is also the first city on the island of Ireland to receive the accolade. There are now 59 Cities of Music forming part of the prestigious UNESCO Creative Cities Network.
The Northern Ireland Music Prize is supported by Belfast City Council, YouTube Music, Arts Council Northern Ireland, PPL, PRS for Music, and in association with BBC Across The Line.
The event will also be streamed live on the Oh Yeah YouTube Channel.
The NI Music Prize is coordinated by the Oh Yeah Music Centre and was established to celebrate and promote the rich and diverse home grown, world-class music of Belfast and Northern Ireland.
The event takes place during the Sound of Belfast festival, an annual 10-day showcase of the music of the city, from grassroots acts to celebrated names.
Sound of Belfast is dedicated to celebrating the tireless efforts of local musicians, promoters, industry, community, media, supporters and audiences – this passion combined is what makes Belfast a great music city. It takes place 4th – 18th November 2021.

Join Music Connections at Sound Of Belfast to Explore Challenges and Opportunities for NI Music
Hear directly from BAPAM, Free The Night, Help Musicians, PRS Foundation and more.
17 November 2021, Belfast – Music Connections, the online music business hub for the music sector in Northern Ireland (NI), has partnered with Sound of Belfast to host an afternoon of discussion, debate and networking for the NI music community as part of the conference and festival. Taking place on Wednesday 17 November 2021 at the Oh Yeah Music Centre, Belfast, the sessions are free and open to anyone working in music or with a genuine interest in the development of the sector in NI.
The afternoon has been designed to focus on some of the core challenges and opportunities for both music creators (artists, songwriters and composers) as well as those working to support music creation, from managers and producers to journalists, broadcasters, promoters and health professionals.
The wide-ranging discussions will cover NI's night time economy and culture, led by campaigning organisation Free The Night, and a session looking at how music creators can make the most of online platforms to monetise their music and fuel their career development. The afternoon will finish with a practical discussion on how the music sector in NI can better manage its mental health and where it can find support locally for any specialist physical performance injuries. Health professionals are especially welcome to attend this session.
The panels bring together a selection of high profile and experienced individuals from across the UK and Irish music industries including Iain Archer (2 x Ivor Novello award-winning and Grammy-nominated songwriter), Nadia Khan (recent recipient of the Outstanding Contribution to Music Award at Music Week's Women in Music ceremony), Sacha Lord (Night Time Economy Advisor for Manchester and Founder of Parklife Festival and the Warehouse Project), and Sunil Sharpe (Irish DJ, Producer and Founder, Give Us The Night).
The full programme is set out below. To register for the free event, click here.
12:15 – Music Connections opening address
Music Connections launched in July 2021 to bring the NI music sector the latest news, views and events from across the UK and Ireland. We'll be kicking off our afternoon of panels with a short intro to Music Connections – so come along, settle in, and let's connect.
12:30 – PRS Funding Presentation
Join PRS Foundation's Grants Coordinators Westley Holdsworth and Aja Garrod as they run you through the key PRS Foundation funding schemes. PRS Foundation will be offering a series of 1-2-1 sessions after their presentation.
13:00 – Lunch + networking
13:30 – Up All Night: how we can turbo-charge NI's night time economy
The night time economy is any activity that occurs between 6pm and 6am and it's the UK's 5th largest industry, accounting for 8% of employment across restaurants, bars, pubs, nightclubs, live music venues and theatres. Rules on this part of the economy affect DJs, artists, promoters, musicians, bartenders, hospitality workers, security guards, sound & visual technicians, public transport workers, taxi drivers and frontline services who all use the night-time economy on a regular basis. But after 25 years, Northern Ireland's opening times remain the most restrictive in the UK and Europe. Free The Night is on a mission to change this, to rebuild and grow the night time economy and creative industries post-pandemic.

14:45 – The online music economy: does it all add up?
These past 18 months have left artists unable to perform live, with the NI sector slowly but surely opening up again to full capacity audiences. Meanwhile, the debate around the economics of streaming has intensified, with campaigners taking their case directly to the UK Government to bring about change. The Inquiry explored current business models and how existing contracts and laws impact artists, record labels, streaming platforms, and consumers. But is it all bad? How else can music be monetised online? Join our panellists as they delve deep into the online economics of music, explore the opportunities available and share their experiences of what works and what doesn't.

16:00 – Time out is not 'time over'
The vast majority of musicians operate as freelance businesses, and while this can present opportunities, it also sadly means that when things don't go to plan, pressures often mount up, leaving individuals overwhelmed and unsure of where to turn to for assistance. BAPAM, Help Musicians and Music Support are a network of charities that collaborate in Northern Ireland to support musicians' mental and physical health in these circumstances. Hear how they are working together to ensure the music community in Northern Ireland receives support with physical health, mental wellbeing, and health and addiction issues.

Belfast: UNESCO City of Music!
Posted In : News , belfast, City of Music, UNESCO
**It is official; Belfast is a UNESCO City of Music! **
Congratulations to all involved in the process; two years of planning leading to a successful bid. A lot of work behind the scenes from the team at Belfast City Council and an honour for our CEO Charlotte Dryden to chair the City of Music committee as part of this.
Biggest thanks goes to the artists, musicians, bands, venues, promoters, DJ's, songwriters, audiences and all the creative community that make Belfast sing, day in, day out. Without them there is no music city to talk about. We are the sum of many musical parts – past, present and future – making space for new and exciting sounds.
It has been a crushing time for music, so the timing of this is so important. Now to take this as an opportunity to make things better, push forward, look to the future, rebuild and celebrate what we have all known for a very long time, that Belfast is a music city!

Kate Nicholson on Sound of Belfast, New releases and 'Mothers in Music'!
Kate Nicholson is a GP who lives in Portstewart with her husband and two young children.
Being a new mum during a global pandemic found Kate needing a creative outlet. Our unique 'Mothers in Music' programme helped her through meeting women who understand the challenges of making music from a mother's perspective. Although Kate has been writing songs since the age of 17, being a mother has given her an added push to create and share her music – she recorded an album of 10 songs during lockdown!
Here, Kate shares her latest news and looks forward to her two gigs at Sound of Belfast.
Hi Kate, You've had a busy time of it lately! Tell me about your upcoming Sound of Belfast gigs and the other exciting news you have had.
Well firstly and most importantly we have had a new addition to the family – baby Tomás John, who is 3 months old! He is beginning to have the best wee smiles, coo's and cuddles. But sleep is still at a premium which is really hard for someone who loves their sleep!
And what about the gigs?
First up is an Open Mic night with the "Mothers in Music" collective on Friday 5th November at the Oh Yeah Centre. I really can't wait to hear all these amazing mamas do their thing!
I have so much respect for these women who have overcome adversity to continue to do the things they love. That is what the group was all about. I'm speaking for all of us when I say we are so grateful for the programme which was run by Charlene Hegarty, Talent Development Officer at the Oh Yeah Centre.
We had songwriting classes with some of the best in the business such as Katie Melua, and formed a bit of a support network to encourage and collaborate with each other. I think it came at a good time for us, when a lot of things were put on ice due to the Pandemic.
You have another appearance at Sound of Belfast isn't that right?
Yes, I am playing at the Empire Music Hall on Friday 12th November at an "In the Round" night of music along with Siobhan Brown, Bernadette Morris and Cormac Neeson.
When I was 18 or so I collected glasses at the Empire and had the privilege of seeing 'The Answer' live. Needless to say I was impressed, so to be sharing the stage with Cormac is pretty special! I'm also excited to play alongside Siobhan and Bernadette who are first class. The night is hosted by Ralph McLean whose show I've been listening to for years.
Any new releases coming out soon?
Yes I'm giving away all my secrets here! I have a new single coming out this Friday 5th November called "Wrong Side of the Town" which will be available to stream in all the usual places. It features Cormac Neeson on vocals and we will be playing it live for the very first time at the Empire on 12th November. It's going to be a very special night and I hope to see you there

How to capture Belfast in a song?
With support from the Arts Council of Northern Ireland, that's the challenge which we set for two of our finest singer-songwriters, Gareth Dunlop and Jealous of the Birds, earlier this year.
Here's how they went about it:
"After accepting the commission, one of the first things I did was research songs that other artists had written about Belfast. This led me to highly politicised ballads and pop songs that still framed Belfast within the context of the Troubles. My approach to writing 'Belfast Song' was to relinquish that baggage and reflect a more modern, progressive side to this city, while still being respectful of its history.
On the side of the Garrick Bar are the words, "A nation that keeps one eye on the past is wise. A nation that keeps two eyes on the past is blind." That feels as relevant as ever. When I spoke to friends and family about the commission, everyone agreed that people here are tired of having their home city frozen in time as a conflict zone. This song is my effort to capture the thrum, the pulse and the warmth of a place that's nurtured my early adulthood and career in music."
– Jealous of the Birds
"I've had the luxury of touring all over the world and I've spent time in some incredible cities, writing and recording. When it came to writing about home, the most natural place to pull from was how much I miss it when I'm away from it. The people, the sights, the scenery and the intangible edge it has.
It took me to spend so much time away from Belfast to really appreciate how special the city is. The Covid-19 pandemic afforded me the chance to be home for an unusually long period of time and really fall deeper for all it has to offer."
– Gareth Dunlop

Dolores Hitting the Right Beat with Belfast City Music Walking Tour!
If you were looking for the right person to host a musical walking tour of Belfast, then someone who jumped up on stage in the Ulster Hall in 1978 and played drums to 'Peaches' with The Stranglers would probably fit the bill!
Live music has always played a big part in budding tour guide Dolores Vischer's life – and still does. Growing up between Donegal and Belfast, she loved widely differing genres of music – from the vibrant Irish trad scene in Donegal, where she learned bodhran, to the thrill of raw punk gigs in Belfast's Harp Bar in the late 1970s. She also plays the drums, (which is where her Stranglers claim to fame comes in!)
More recently, Dolores joined a band after signing up to Oh Yeah's Girls Rock School NI programme in 2018. She's currently part of the Over the Hill Music Collective and recently recorded a song she wrote for a new OTH album that's in the pipeline. On top of that she enjoys singing and performing in the Cathedral Quarter Choir.
During lockdown, Dolores decided to explore her interest in becoming a tour guide and has almost completed the course to become a qualified Belfast Green Badge Tourist Guide. Speaking about the forthcoming Belfast Music Tour taking place as part of Sound of Belfast festival, Dolores says:
"I love supporting local bands and it's great now to be able to get back out to gigs again. Belfast has such a rich music heritage and so much talent, past and present, I just want to share my passion and for people to enjoy themselves."
Starting out at the Ulster Hall, the tour will explore some of the venues that are important in our musical history. Find out about some of the characters down the years who've shaped our music culture, and acknowledge some of the talented people taking it forward today. Hear about the festivals our city is home to and end with a visit to Belfast's own dedicated music hub, the Oh Yeah Centre! After browsing the Music Exhibition, relax over a pint and enjoy an acoustic set by a future star!
Tickets for Belfast – A City of Music (Guided Walking Tour) are £15, including the walk, pint and live music at the Oh Yeah Centre.

Sophia Marisa Lucas is Assistant Curator at the Queens Museum, where she recently organized Queens International 2018: Volumes, the eighth iteration of the museum's biannual exhibition of Queens-based artists.

Her work appears in Anthony Huberman's Today we should be thinking about (2015), published by The Artist's Institute and Koenig Books.
The Queens Museum is dedicated to presenting the highest quality visual arts and educational programming for people in the New York metropolitan area, and particularly for the residents of Queens, a uniquely diverse, ethnic, cultural, and international community. The Museum fulfills its mission by designing and providing art exhibitions, public programs and educational experiences that promote the appreciation and enjoyment of art, support the creative efforts of artists, and enhance the quality of life through interpreting, collecting, and exhibiting art, architecture, and design.

The expansion provides an additional 50,000 square feet of space, including a suite of new galleries, artist studios, flexible public and special event spaces, education classrooms, a café, back-of-house facilities and visitor amenities. This light-filled new space, designed by Grimshaw Architects, exemplifies the Museum's commitment to openness, inclusion, and community partnership.
Artists will be asked to provide a resume, artist statement, image list and 5 images. The total application fee is $25 (this includes the fee to use Slideroom). Artists must reside within 100 miles of Philadelphia and must not currently be a student.

Spring turkey hunting seasons start Wednesday in Minnesota and Wisconsin and will continue through May, and — good news — there's still time to plan a hunt for this year.
They eat a variety of foods, from insects and snakes to seeds and berries. But, especially in winter, they are often dependant on leftover and waste agricultural crops to make it through cold weather. If more than a foot of snow covers the ground for a month or more, they likely won't make it — which means far northern MIneosta probably won't have a large population of turkeys anytime soon.
Legal firearms for turkey hunting are shotguns only, 20 gauge or larger, including muzzle-loading shotguns... Only fine shot size No. 4 and smaller diameter may be used… Red dot scopes and rangefinders are legal... Bows must have a pull of no less than 30 pounds at or before full draw... Legal shooting hours are one-half hour before sunrise to sunset... The bag limit for the spring hunt is one wild turkey with a visible beard... The tag provided with the license must be punched with the date of the kill, and attached to the wild turkey immediately after taking the bird... The tag must remain attached to the bird during transit... Every person who takes a wild turkey must register the bird within 24 hours of taking the turkey either at a registration station (see mndnr.gov for locations) by phone or by Internet... The feathers, head, and feet must remain on the wild turkey until it is registered... Once registered turkeys may be transported with just a fully feathered attached wing, or an intact leg and foot.

The Gardens Between (2018)
Developer: The Voxel Agents
Back in 2019, I wrote a special feature about the indie games I had the chance to check out at SXSW Gaming convention in Austin (wow, that feels like ages ago). One of the games that was mentioned in this feature was The Gardens Between, which was already out at the time but had a demo was available to play at the convention. I enjoyed the game ever since I played the short demo, and I'd picked it up not too long after SXSW. It's one of those games that I hadn't gotten around to for a long time, but it popped up on my library and I decided to just go for it. The Gardens Between is a puzzle adventure game where you control time instead of the characters. The Gardens Between is full of mind-twisting and fun time puzzles that tell a story about two best friends and their memories together.
You can assume that these two friends are perhaps neighbors and built this treehouse together.
The Gardens Between starts off with the story of two best friends who are hiding from a storm inside of their small tree house. It's not clear what's going on, but you get a feeling that they're both feeling quite sad on this rainy night. Suddenly, a strange light appears and they are transported to some sort of dream world. These small worlds or "gardens" you'll travel through all seem to have literal pieces from their memories together incorporated into them, such as video game consoles and toys. The Gardens Between has a very simple concept to its mechanics. You use the joystick to the left to move back time, and to the right to go forward in time. Occasionally, you use one button to cause the characters to interact with an item. That's all of the controls. Yet, the game does quite a lot with its simple mechanics. It starts out fairly simple puzzles that just involve going back in time and having the characters grab an item, then going forward in time to put it where it needs to go. However, the puzzles later get more complex and involve you using the time mechanic in different ways. For example, letting time stop over certain items will cause them to react in certain ways, triggering a path. If you think too much about how things work in these gardens inside and outside of time, it's a little strange, but it works really well for puzzle-solving. It makes you have to think outside the box quite a bit, and when you figure it out it sort of blows your mind. It reminds me of Monument Valley in the way it makes you look at a 3D world differently depending on perspective.
This is probably a strange thing to point out, but this game might have the one of the best title screens of any I've played. The art and the soothing music combined with the thunderstorm sound and visuals could honestly work as a stand-alone "rainy day" relaxing YouTube video to play on loop. The art style of The Gardens Between is really cute and cell-shaded, making the worlds really exciting and full of life. The environments convey a feeling of nostalgia, reminding us what it was like to be a kid. The soundtrack mostly consists of soft, ambient piano pieces and at times more synth-like sounds that purposely sound a little more dated. As I often mention, I love soundtracks with a vocals and there's a few in this. The credits theme evokes a sort of bittersweet, longing feeling that makes you feel what the characters feel.
Despite there being no dialogue in The Gardens Between, there's definitely a story being told. The two kids, Arina and Frendt, are close friends and have spent a lot of their childhood together. However, as you can assume from the moving boxes in the first garden, one of them is moving away. Dealing with this is unfathomable for the two friends, so instead they're temporarily escaping together to a world crafted by their favorite memories together. It's a story that can hit anyone pretty strongly, as it did for me. I think most people know what it's like to have to move away from or stop seeing a best friend, and how as a kid that can feel like the world is ending. The two kids reminded me a lot of myself and one of my childhood best friends, back when we lived only a few houses away from each other. I spent almost every day in the summer at her house, and we never ran out of things to do and adventures to go on.
Often times the characters will run in separate directions and open the possibilities of what you can affect.
The Gardens Between is an unique take on puzzle and adventure, and it definitely plays very differently than anything else. It's a fairly short adventure, but it manages to tell its story little by little as you develop a bond and relate with the two friends. I personally love a puzzle game that can accomplish telling a story with its mechanics, and it's an extra plus that it's a beautiful-looking game as well. It tugs as your heartstrings using nostalgia and feelings of close friendship, making you long for when everything was simpler. I recommend this game to anyone into adventure games or puzzles - even though the puzzles near the end can get a little challenging, you just have to take a second look a everything and be creative.
The Gardens Between is available on PC, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, Stadia, App Store, and Google Play.
Finished: 2/8/2021

Ashford made it six points in four days on Tuesday evening with another 2-1 home win, this time over FC Romania.
Having never played them before, nobody really knew what to expect. As it turned out Ashford had more of the play despite not being at their best. Brannon Daly had to make one or two saves but with 70 minutes gone, the Tangerines should really have been ahead, given the chances that had been created but poor finishing had kept the scoreline at nil-nil. The visitors, after some early nerves at the back, had defended well and the inevitable happened with just 20 minutes left when they went ahead with a bizarre own goal which may have been more attributable to a goalkeeping error (Brannon may disagree) but it was Samad Kazi who opened his account for the season, unfortunately in the wrong net to give Romania the lead.
Ashford though kept probing and finally Mark Bitmead managed to steer the ball home to end an unusually blank run for Ashford's leading scorer. At that stage a draw looked likely and nobody could really have denied the sporting visitors a share of the spoils. It was not to be though when in the 89th minute, skipper Max Webb notched the vital winning goal to take the Tangerines up to 8th place in the table.
In some ways, playing against AC Romania was like a breath of fresh air. There was only a sparse attendance sadly but Ashford supporters clapped all their players off the field and several of them acknowledged the applause with handshakes. We shall look forward to the return match.
Next up on Saturday is an away trip to Ware, more of which on the website tomorrow.

Next-Generation Sequencing Identifies "Actionable" Genomic Alterations in Solid Tumors
Boston, MA—Next-generation sequencing is a valuable tool to identify actionable genomic alterations that may be present in a tumor sample, said Gary A. Palmer, MD, JD, MBA, MPH, Senior Vice President of Medical Affairs and Commercial Development, Foundation Medicine, Cambridge, MA, at the Second Global Biomarkers Consortium annual conference.
Next-generation sequencing techniques can overcome many of the shortcomings associated with conventional sequencing of clinical cancer samples, and routine use of next-generation sequencing in the clinic could potentially aid clinical trial enrollment and off-label drug treatment.
Matching the correct targeted therapy to the patient is diagnostically challenging as the number of clinically relevant genomic alterations (ie, base substitutions, mutations, short insertions and deletions, focal amplification, homozygous deletion, gene fusion) increases. Performing multiple tests may exhaust the biopsy material. "NGS [next-generation sequencing] can find all of these different types of alterations," said Dr Palmer.
There are many potentially targetable alterations in any particular tumor type, "so I think that the days of panel testing, where you only test for 3 or 4 alterations in lung cancer and a different 3 or 4 in colon cancer, are probably rapidly coming to a close, because alterations tend to be shared across different solid tumors," Dr Palmer said.
Many of the alterations are found in a small percentage of cancer cells, so a high degree of sensitivity is needed to find actionable alterations in a tumor sample. Sanger sequencing has a level of sensitivity of only approximately 20%, "so if you have a mutated allele that's less than 20% of the tumor DNA, you're not likely to find it with Sanger sequencing," said Dr Palmer. In the first 107 cases of non–small-cell lung cancer for which next-generation sequencing was used at Foundation Medicine, 55% of biologic driver alterations were present in <20% of tumor DNA.
With next-generation sequencing, alterations can be found using small amounts of tissue in a clinically relevant time frame (approximately 2 weeks).
Foundation Medicine is looking at 236 genes. "You want a comprehensive list of genes you'll be able to pick up in any particular solid tumor, those genes that have alterations that are clinically significant," Dr Palmer said. "These alterations are not restricted to 1 tumor type." HER2 alterations have been found in more than 15 types of solid tumors, for example.
The keys to making next-generation sequencing work routinely are the availability of tissue that has viable DNA and issuing relevant results to oncologists, "the biologic drivers of the particular tumor." A high degree of specificity is also desirable.
Foundation Medicine's report to the clinician includes the biologic drivers that are found and a table of "actionable" alterations. It also lists any US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drugs for the alteration that is found, as well as FDA-approved drugs for a different tumor type, potentially supporting the off-label use of a drug, and relevant clinical trials based on genomic alterations that are identified.
The initial experience with next-generation sequencing at Foundation Medicine consists of 2200 solid tumor cases in which gene alterations have been found.
The most frequently altered gene in cases in which alterations have been found is p53, which is present in approximately 50% of cases with alterations. Approximately 75% of specimens harbored ≥1 actionable gene. No 2 patients had the same findings, although many had similar alterations, Dr Palmer said. "That gives credence to this whole idea of personalized medicine."
View larger version
Of the 2200 cases, 116 had ErbB2 alterations (Table). "We're up to 18 solid tumors in which we found what we feel are biologically important ErbB2 alterations," he said. The majority have been found in breast cancer, but a sizable number of ErbB2 alterations have been found in lung cancer as well. In the lung tumors, 17 have been activating point mutations, "the great majority postamplification," Dr Palmer said. Whether anti-HER2 agents will work in solid tumors other than breast cancer will need to be determined, he added.

I am having trouble with the formatting drop down for the text element.
It is a nightmare to select anything. I select one line to paragraph and it will change a completely different line.
I think this is a known problem as I have seen it mentioned befoee in forum but I can't find the post again.
After I make a couple of settings it's just jumping around all over place.
I tested this one on the WPMUDev demo site and it works on demo site but on a fresh local install with no plugins then it is not working for me.
I tested on my own sandbox site as well as on live demo and could replicate this issue. There fore I am marking it as confirmed bug so it can be patched up in next release.
Thanks for pointing it out and bringing into our attention.
We have recently released a new version of upfront with this and other different issues fixed. I just checked on my own site and its working fine now.
Please upgrade to upfront version 0.4.1 and then check again.
If its still not working for you after update then let me know and I will have a look. Also grant support access from WPMUDEV > Support > Support Access > Grant Access.


Targeted therapies are cancer treatments that block or slow the spread of cancer by interfering with specific areas of cancer cells that are involved in the growth of cancer cells, or by focusing on particular characteristics that are unique to cancer cells. While chemotherapy drugs are typically cytotoxic, meaning they kill cancer cells, targeted therapy is typically cytostatic, meaning it blocks the growth of cancer cells. The types of targeted therapy that may be used to treat NHL are monoclonal antibodies, proteasome inhibitors, kinase inhibitors, and histone deacetylase inhibitors.

David Hears of Saul's Death
1 Now it came about after the death of Saul, when David had returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, that David remained two days in Ziklag. 2 On the third day, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul, with his clothes torn and dust on his head And it came about when he came to David that he fell to the ground and prostrated himself. 3 Then David said to him, "From where do you come?" And he said to him, "I have escaped from the camp of Israel." 4 David said to him, "How did things go? Please tell me." And he said, "The people have fled from the battle, and also many of the people have fallen and are dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also." 5 So David said to the young man who told him, "How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?" 6 The young man who told him said, "By chance I happened to be on Mount Gilboa, and behold, Saul was leaning on his spear. And behold, the chariots and the horsemen pursued him closely. 7 "When he looked behind him, he saw me and called to me. And I said, 'Here I am.' 8 "He said to me, 'Who are you?' And I answered him, 'I am an Amalekite.' 9 "Then he said to me, 'Please stand beside me and kill me, for agony has seized me because my life still lingers in me.' 10 "So I stood beside him and killed him, because I knew that he could not live after he had fallen And I took the crown which was on his head and the bracelet which was on his arm, and I have brought them here to my lord."
11 Then David took hold of his clothes and tore them, and so also did all the men who were with him. 12 They mourned and wept and fasted until evening for Saul and his son Jonathan and for the people of the LORD and the house of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword. 13 David said to the young man who told him, "Where are you from?" And he answered, "I am the son of an alien, an Amalekite." 14 Then David said to him, "How is it you were not afraid to stretch out your hand to destroy the LORD'S anointed?" 15 And David called one of the young men and said, "Go, cut him down." So he struck him and he died. 16 David said to him, "Your blood is on your head, for your mouth has testified against you, saying, 'I have killed the LORD'S anointed.'"

Child Custody and the Coronavirus
By Aaron Weems on March 18, 2020
Last week when I began to consider the impact the coronavirus would have on custody schedules, I was focused on people having different perspectives of how to address the outbreak relative to their children's day-to-day lives. I imagined there would be some people who wanted to be conservative and hold the children out of school, limit their participation in extracurricular activities, and generally start the "social distancing" while other parents would feel that the preparations were an overreaction and to carry on as usual.
In that relatively short period of time, the coronavirus has created a national health crisis acknowledged by most people and certainly by our federal and state governments. This is not the classic Philadelphia reaction to a snow storm where grocery stores are picked clean before the snow – if it arrives – melts in two days. We are in new territory where state and federal authorities are closing (by recommendation or order) schools, public places, restaurants, and other non-essential places. Parents subject to custody orders will inevitably be challenged about how they can fulfill the terms of their orders.
From a threshold perspective, no one should willfully violate a court order. "Willful disobedience" can expose a party to contempt and sanctions. Questions will arise, however, as to whether risking contempt is preferable to exposing the parties and/or their children to the coronavirus.
Legal custody issues will undoubtedly arise as parents debate how to manage the child's care; while an ill child also creates a physical custody problem by potentially exposing the child to more people. Though children seem to be affected the least by the virus, they may also be a conduit to spreading the virus due to the mild presentation or parents confusing it with the flu or a cold.
Other legal custody issues dealing with education may arise as schools shift to online teaching (if they are able to do so) and parents look for alternatives to educate their children while they are out of school or while the parent(s) continue to work.
No custody case is the same and there are some situations that can and should operate normally because risks of exposure to the virus remain low for that family. These situations would be where the parties are both exercising all of the recommended precautions during their non-custodial time: when they do not have the kids they are practicing social distancing, limiting their exposure to groups of people, and practicing good hygiene. In other words, practicing the same precautions they would apply when their children are in their care.
More complicated are cases involving significant travel, exposure to third party caregivers, interaction with older family members or friends, employment that raises the risk of exposure, or mixed families where, for example, step-children are passing between households. Ideally, parents would agree upon an appropriate alternative to their normal, custody schedule until the virus subsides sufficiently to allow for more routine activity. While the routines as we knew them may not return for some time, hopefully restrictions and concerns will ease once this acute, infectious phase decreases and the measures currently implemented sufficiently "flatten the curve" of the outbreak to ensure our medical systems are not overwhelmed.
In the interim, parties need to do the best they can to communicate so that neither side is unclear as to what their concerns or expectations are during this time. If a parent cannot (or will not) exercise their custodial time, then collaboration for additional FaceTime/Skype calls, online games, or other methods for maintaining their connection to their children should be explored and considered. Both parties should exercise common sense and be reasonable in their demands on each other and the children.
Where legitimate disputes and violations of the custody order arise, it will be difficult at best to address those issues in court on an expedited basis. Those with parent coordinators may have an advantage of having these issues addressed remotely, but for most cases, breaches of the custody order will be addressed in conformity with the current procedure for that county. Though the courts may be limited at the moment, it does not mean that parties will not be held accountable for their actions and decisions pertaining to custody in the near future.

Apple Pay allows you to make mobile payments with your Apple Watch and now it looks like Google's Android Pay will also be getting this feature on supported smart watches with Android Wear.
Google are apparently adding tap to pay to Android Wear in the near future, as the guys from Android Police have discovered.
References to a new Tap 'n Pay feature with Android Wear have been discovered in the Google Play services v10.0 APK and this suggests that Google could be getting ready to release the feature.
As yet there are no details on when Android Pay will get the tap to tap feature on Android Wear smart watches, as soon as we get some more details, we will let you guys know.

Q: Using Volley and Gson: Parse item and items list One thing I've never liked about Gson is the fact that you have to pass a Class object or a TypeToken based on if you're getting an item or a list of items. Now, when trying to use Volley with Gson this problem persists and I'm trying to make a GsonRequest class that can be used for both things.
My solution is quite ugly, two different constructors: one getting a Class<T> parameter and another one getting a Type parameters. Then, in the parseNetworkResponse,  gson.fromJson is called with either one of the fields, keeping in mind that one has to be null.
Any idea of how to implement this in a better way? (I don't like having a GsonRequest and a GsonCollectionRequest almost-equal classes)
My code, here:
public class GsonRequest<T> extends Request<T> {

    private final Gson gson;
    private final Class<T> clazz;
    private final Type type;
    private final Listener<T> listener;
    private final Map<String, String> headers;
    private final Map<String, String> params;

    public GsonRequest(int method, String url, Gson gson, Class<T> clazz, Map<String, String> headers, Map<String, String> params, Listener<T> listener, ErrorListener errorListener) {
        super(method, url, errorListener);
        this.gson = gson;
        this.clazz = clazz;
        this.type = null;
        this.listener = listener;
        this.headers = headers;
        this.params = params;
    }

    public GsonRequest(int method, String url, Gson gson, Type type, Map<String, String> headers, Map<String, String> params, Listener<T> listener, ErrorListener errorListener) {
        super(method, url, errorListener);
        this.gson = gson;
        this.clazz = null;
        this.type = type;
        this.listener = listener;
        this.headers = headers;
        this.params = params;
    }

    @Override
    public Map<String, String> getHeaders() throws AuthFailureError {
        return this.headers != null ? this.headers : super.getHeaders();
    }

    @Override
    protected Map<String, String> getParams() throws AuthFailureError {
        return this.params != null ? this.params : super.getParams();
    }

    @Override
    protected Response<T> parseNetworkResponse(NetworkResponse response) {
        try {

            if (this.clazz != null) {
                return Response.success(
                        this.gson.fromJson(new String(response.data, HttpHeaderParser.parseCharset(response.headers)), this.clazz),
                        HttpHeaderParser.parseCacheHeaders(response));
            } else {
                return (Response<T>) Response.success(
                        this.gson.fromJson(new String(response.data, HttpHeaderParser.parseCharset(response.headers)), this.type),
                        HttpHeaderParser.parseCacheHeaders(response));
            }

        } catch (JsonSyntaxException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            return Response.error(new ParseError(e));
        } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            return Response.error(new ParseError(e));
        }
    }

    @Override
    protected void deliverResponse(T response) {
        this.listener.onResponse(response);
    }

}

A: I used the following method to parse a JSON list.
As first don't send a Class in the constructor, instead pass the Type class from the reflect package.
My class looks like this:
public class DownloadRequest<T> extends Request<T> {

private final Gson gson = new Gson();
private final Type type;
private final Map<String, String> params;
private final Response.Listener<T> listener;

public DownloadRequest(int method, String url, Map<String, String> params, Type type, Response.Listener<T> listener, Response.ErrorListener errorListener) {
    super(method, url, errorListener);
    this.type = type;
    this.params = params;
    this.listener = listener;
}

@Override
protected Response<T> parseNetworkResponse(NetworkResponse networkResponse) {

    try {
        String json = new String(networkResponse.data, HttpHeaderParser.parseCharset(networkResponse.headers));
        T parseObject = gson.fromJson(json, type);
        return Response.success(parseObject,HttpHeaderParser.parseCacheHeaders(networkResponse));
    } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    return null;
}

@Override
protected void deliverResponse(T t) {
    listener.onResponse(t);
}

}
The line T parseObject = gson.fromJson(json, type); is important to set before you call the Request.success method.

A: You can create a new GsonRequest using TypeToken as Type parameter.
Use generic GsonRequest like this GsonRequest.
Create a simple Request for a Gson class...

new GsonRequest<MyClass>(Request.Method.GET, uriBuilder.build().toString(),
                    MyClass.class, null, mResponseListener, mReponseErrorListener));

or create a type for an ArrayList...
Type type = new TypeToken<ArrayList<MyClass>>() {}.getType();
new GsonRequest<ArrayList<MyClass>>(Request.Method.GET, uriBuilder.build().toString(),
                    type, null, mResponseListListener, mReponseErrorListener));

A: I used the JsonObject request of the Volley and used the Response.ToString() to parse the Json String to Class through Gson.
Gson gson = new Gson();
ClassName obj = gson.fromJson(response.ToString(),ClassName.class);

Now you have obj with all data.
