Casein protein is non-stimulatory, but provides calories which can be used for energy purposes.

### Recommended dosage, active amounts, other details

Like any protein supplement, casein protein supplements are dosed in relation to dietary protein goals and how much dietary protein is consumed via other sources.

Protein goals vary from person to person, but a general guide is:

If you are an athlete or highly active person currently attempting to lose body fat while preserving lean muscle mass, a daily intake of 1.5-2.2g/kg bodyweight (0.68-1g/lb bodyweight) would be a good target

If you are an athlete or highly active person, or you are attempting to lose body fat while preserving lean mass, then a daily intake of 1.0-1.5g/kg bodyweight (0.45-0.68g/lb bodyweight) would be a good target

If you are sedentary and not looking to change body composition, a daily target of 0.8g/kg bodyweight (0.36g/lb bodyweight) and upwards would be a good target

Supplementation of casein protein should be in the dose that is required to meet these ranges after dietary protein has been accounted for.

If dietary protein has adequately reached these ranges, then protein supplementation is not required.

Obese individuals (body fat over 20/30% for males and females or a BMI greater than 30 without significant levels of muscle mass) should not follow the above recommendations exactly as the state of obesity would overshoot requirements.

In these instances, calculate your targets based upon what your weight would be assuming an overweight BMI.

## Frequently Asked Questions about Casein Protein

Several scales have been developed to rate proteins according to their respective bioavailabilities and, more recently, amino acid profiles.

Those scales can help guide your choice of protein, as long as you understand their premises and limitations.

## Scientific Research on Casein Protein

Click on any below to expand the corresponding section.

Casein is a protein that is derived from the milk of many species; most human consumption of casein comes from bovine (cow) milk.

Casein is the insoluble portion of the milk, whereas whey is the soluble portion; the amount of casein in standard milk protein is approximately 80%, and human milk is variable depending on time spent lactating.

Casein protein, like all protein, is a source of dietary amino acids.

As it is an animal source, it is complete in the sense that it contains all essential amino acids in adequate enough numbers for proper human functioning at the minimum level of protein intake recommended.

Casein protein also contains various bioactive peptides.

These peptides are partially digested in the stomach, and prior to being broken down into their constituent amino acids they are able to exert effects in the intestines (prior to absorption).

These effects may be wide-reaching, and are discussed in the following bullets.

Standard processing of casein involves a separation of the two dairy proteins (casein and whey).

Whole milk protein is treated with a compound known as a 'coagulant', usually chymosin

which serves to coagulate (congeal, or solidify) the casein fragment

This is a step crucial to cheese making (which requires casein to provide a solid foundation) but is also significant for separating the wheys and casein (curds).

With the casein fragment more solid, the whey fragment (still liquid) is then separated from the casein through a process called syneresis.

The degree of syneresis varies depending on what the end product (usually cheese) would be, and can be manipulated by salt

amongst other techniques to provide unique flavor and texture to the end product cheese

Casein protein supplementation is more concerned with the extraction of as much whey as possible, which leaves pure casein protein behind.

Micellar casein tends to be produced via microfiltration, which has the ability to concentrate the micellar segments of casein.[12]

Casein contains various Bioactive peptides, which can be defined as sequences of amino acids that are contained in dietary proteins and are partially denatured in the stomach to reveal short sequences.

These sequences can exert biological effects in the intestines prior to being digested, or may be digested through a peptide transporter.

When supplemented to women at 150mg daily, the AlphaS-1 peptide is known to produce an anxiolytic effect.

Two doses of 200mg may be able to reduce the response to perceived stressors.

The anxiolytic effect may also provide better sleep in those with high levels of stress.

Similar to the c12 peptide, AlphaS-1 may also have an ability to induce ACE-inhibitor like effects and reduce blood pressure.

AlphaS-1 is also a peptide that is noted to cause allergies, and thus persons allergic to dairy may also be allergic to this peptide in supplemental form.

When administered in the form of tablets, the c12 peptide at a dose of 3.8g daily for 4 weeks is able to reduce blood pressure in pre-hypertensive subjects from an average of 138/87 to 127/80 in one study.

This is due to the c12 peptide having the properties of an ACE inhibitor.

Glycomacropeptides can be found in the casein portion of whole milk products, but due to their water soluble nature they leave the casein portion during chymosin treatment at the beginning stages of processing.

They do tend to be associated with casein protein as they originate with kappa casein molecules, hence their inclusion in this Examine page.

Unless otherwise added afterwards however, they are not a normal component of casein supplementations.

Casoxins and Casomorphins are peptides which are able to act on the opioid system, which is involved in the rate of digestion.

The class of casomorphins are opioid agonists (activators) and the casoxins opioid antagonists.

Casein seems to have a higher relative content of casomorphins to casoxins, which may explain the reduced transit speed after consumption (as activation of the opioid system reduces intestinal motility).

## 4Casein Hydrolysate (Hydrolyzed Casein)

It has been shown to have a more relaxing effect at rest and after mental stress when compared to maltitol,

which may be related to a specific tryptic hydrolysate found in bovine casein

This AlphaS1 peptide has been shown to reduce stress when ingested by women at 150mg daily.

# Rory McIlroy named European Tour Golfer of the Year

McIlroy was the unanimous pick of the golfing media for the Golfer of the Year award

Rory McIlroy has picked up the European Tour Golfer of the Year award for the third time in four years.

The 26-year-old from Northern Ireland enjoyed three tour victories in 2015 to win the Race to Dubai title ahead of Englishman Danny Willett.

McIlroy triumphed despite an ankle injury which ruled him out of action for five weeks.

"I feel very proud to have won for a third time - it's always special to be recognised in this way," said McIlroy.

The world number three secured his first tour victory of 2015 at the Dubai Desert Classic, followed by success in the WGC-Cadillac Match Play in San Francisco in May.

Victory in the season-ending World Tour Championship last month ensured McIlroy also won the Race to Dubai title for a third time in four years.

"After a good first half to the season, the injury was obviously a setback for me, so to finish the year strongly with my second victory in Dubai, plus picking up the Race to Dubai title again, was very satisfying," added the four-times major winner.

"This was an objective I successfully fulfilled this season.

To now also win the Golfer of the Year award is a great way to sign off the year.

"I am already looking forward to starting the new season and trying to achieve even more in 2016."

Going into the final tournament of the European Tour season, the DP World Tour Championship, Dubai, McIlroy was leading the Race to Dubai standings. However six other players were in contention for the season end prize going into the event, with Danny Willett being the closest challenger. McIlroy posted a score of 21 under to win the tournament by a single stroke from Andy Sullivan. This was his second victory in the lucrative year end tournament and his third Race to Dubai title in four years.


There were several failed right-winged attempts to change the law, and eventually the movement faded over time.

(meta data) TITLE: Turbans In The RCMP - Parli.

A late 1980s controversy that grew into a potent symbol of identity politics and an early cause célèbre for the nascent Reform Party.

In 1988, a young RCMP recruit, Baltej Singh Dhillon, petitioned the RCMP to change its dress policy to allow observant Sikhs like himself to wear turbans, rather than the force's traditional – and iconic -regulation stetson.

The Force refused to change its rules, and Dhillon – who had aced the gruelling RCMP entrance process – was denied a post.

Eventually, in 1990, the Brian Mulroney government intervened citing the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, ending the RCMP turban prohibition and enabling Dhillon to join up for what would be a long and successful hitch with the Mounties.

Yet, with tensions still high in the Meech Lake aftermath, a nasty public debate had erupted over the issue.

Many, particularly in rural and Western Canada, saw the end of the turban ban as an unacceptable usurpation of a proud Canadian tradition.

Groups like Alberta's Defenders of RCMP Tradition sprang up, collecting as many as 150 000 signatures opposing turbans.

High-minded excuses aside, the true nature of the opposition was exposed by a steady stream of anti-immigrant and racist outbursts, like the poster portraying a turbaned RCMP officer named "Sgt Camel Dung."

The rancorous opposition caught the attention of the newly-formed Reform Party.

At its 1989 convention it overwhelmingly passed a resolution opposing turbans in the RCMP, and the policy was heavily promoted by the party going into the 1993 federal election.

The anti-turban debate faded over time, as turbaned RCMP and other police and military officers became an everyday sight to most Canadians.

The Reform Party also later abandoned its anti-turban stance (along with its opposition to immigration and official multiculturalism), welcoming turban-wearing Sikh MPs into its caucus.

Indeed, the bitter debate now seems like a lifetime ago.

However, echoes of the turban wars can be heard in more recent controversies.

In 2013, the Quebec Soccer Federation banned turbans, hijabs and other religious headgear from soccer games,later reversing its decision after a slap down from FIFA.

In 2015, in a transparent play to less savory elements of his electoral base, Prime Minister Stephen Harper – with the enthusiastic support of the separatist Bloc Quebecois – launched a failed but impactful mid-campaign Supreme Court case to ban the wearing of niqabs while taking Canadian Citizenship oaths.

These recent flareups notwithstanding, Canada seems to have changed permanently since the turban debate of two decades ago.

The best evidence of all was the new Canadian cabinet announced in November 2015: not only were four Sikhs members of the cabinet (twice the number in India's cabinet), but the new Minister of National Defence was Harjit Sajjan, a decorated and battle-hardened military veteran – and a former (turbaned) Vancouver cop.

Serious Stuff: History, Ideology & Issues

Hair Politics.:Wearing a Turban in the RCMP.

In 1988, a young Sikh man, Baltej Singh Dhillon, was recruited by the RCMP but was told if he wanted to work for them, he had to remove his turban. Dhillon contempt this, but the RCMP refused to change their rules, and in return denied him a post. In 1990, the government decided the ban was against the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and enabled Dhillon to join the forces, which eventually turned into a long successful career for Dhillon. This sparked a political turmoil and groups like Alberta’s Defenders of RCMP Tradition appeared, collecting more than 150,000 signatures opposing turbans in the RCMP.

A proposal for the new stations to be built is part of a wider investment strategy to improve local services.

(meta data) TITLE: At last! New Willenhall Railway Station plan backed after years of campaigning | Express & Star

By Pete Madeley | Willenhall | Transport | Published: Mar 7, 2018

Willenhall is finally in line to get a new railway station as part of a £4 billion transport plan.

The West Midlands Combined Authority wants to bring rail routes back into public use

The West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) is set to unveil proposals for a station at the site of the town's old station on Bilston Street.

It will operate as part of the Walsall to Wolverhampton line, and forms part of West Midlands Mayor Andy Street's plans to bring defunct rail routes back into public use.

The move brings to an end years of wrangling over a new station for the town, which has been proposed on numerous occasions since the original one closed in 1965.

It has been welcomed by Walsall North's Conservative MP Eddie Hughes, who said: "This is great news for so many reasons.

"We might not necessarily have the jobs or be creating jobs in Walsall, but providing they have got good transport and housing then they can live in Walsall and get to where those jobs are.

Anything that improves communication and transport in the region to allow people from Walsall to get to work is a very good thing."

In 2012, a proposal was unveiled for a £4m station with two platforms and car park on Bilston Street, but the plans fell through.

Last year Walsall Council and Transport for West Midlands (TfWM), the WMCA's transport arm, submitted a bid for Government funding for a new station.

However, the bid was turned down by the Department for Transport (DfT).

Councillor Roger Lawrence, the leader of Wolverhampton council and the WMCA's lead member for transport, said: "We are trying to emphasise the importance of the Wolverhampton to Walsall corridor link."

Currently, the Walsall to Wolverhampton line does not have regular scheduled passenger services, meaning train users between both places must travel in and out of Birmingham New Street.

Mr Street has also pledged to get the Stourbridge to Walsall line back up and running as part of wide ranging congestion-busting plans.

They also include a Midland Metro tram line between Brierley Hill and Wednesbury, and the reopening of the Darlaston James Bridge railway station.

Around £4bn of transport infrastructure is planned for the region over the coming decade.

 Walsall Aerodrome operated from the 1930s until 1956. The nearest airport to Walsall is Birmingham Airport, which is located within 30 minutes drive.
 The Midland Metro have currently got services that run from Wolverhampton St George's tram stop to Grand Central tram stop and soon the metro will run and operate a tram extension from north of the former Wednesbury Town railway station across Potter Lane to a stop near Brierley Hill which will see the metro line use the corridor from Wednesbury Town to Dudley before running street level and back onto the track at Canal Street before branching off to Merry Hill and a tram stop at Brierley Hill.
 The corridor section from Walsall to Wednesbury Town has been preserved for freight traffic to use to Round Oak Steel Terminal in the near future. It is possible that the metro extension will look to run an extension to Walsall via Bescot but will utilize the line with either people carriers or tram-trains.
 Walsall was also to be part of the former '5' Ws scheme which would have connected it to Wolverhampton, Wednesfield, Willenhall and Wednesbury. Walsall Council decided to pull Walsall and Willenhall out of the scheme in favour of reopening the line to Wolverhampton to passengers via Darlaston and Willenhall.

Though she was brought up in a home where a lot of story-telling went on, it never occurred to her that she could write.

Instead she studied law and accountancy and finally started writing short stories in 1993 "out of the blue."

Though she had no intention of ever writing a novel ("It would take too long") she sent her short stories to a publisher with a letter saying she'd started work on a novel.

The publishers replied, asking to see the novel and, once her panic had subsided, she began to write what subsequently became her first book, Watermelon.

It was published in Ireland in 1995, where it was an immediate runaway success.

Its chatty conversational style and whimsical Irish humour appealed to all age groups, and this appeal spread to Britain when Watermelon was picked as a Fresh Talent book.

She has gone on to write eleven novels and two collections of journalism and short stories, all of which have been bestsellers.

Marian is now published in thirty-three languages.

Marian's latest novel, The Break, was published by Penguin in 2017.She

was born in Limerick in 1963, and brought up in Cavan, Cork, Galway and Dublin; she spent her twenties in London, but is now living in Dún Laoghaire with her husband Tony.

She includes among her hobbies, reading, movies, shoes, handbags and feminism.

In January 2019, she received an honorary doctorate from the University of Limerick.

Born in Limerick and raised in Monkstown (Dublin), Keyes graduated from Dublin University with a law degree. After completing her studies, Keyes took an administrative job before moving to London in 1986. During this period she developed alcoholism and clinical depression, culminating in a suicide attempt and subsequent rehabilitation in 1995 at the Rutland Centre in Dublin, Ireland. In an article for "The Telegraph", Keyes details how her struggles with anxiety, depression, and alcoholism began from an early age. Keyes began writing short stories while suffering from alcoholism. After her treatment at the Rutland Centre she returned to her job in London and submitted her short stories to Poolbeg Press. The publisher encouraged her to submit a full-length novel and Keyes began work on her first book, "Watermelon". The novel was published the same year.

# Glee Goes on Hiatus While Producers Rework Storyline Following the Death of Star Cory Monteith

Following the tragic death of Glee star Cory Monteith, the show's producers have delayed the start of the series' fifth season, according to In Touch Weekly.

Glee was scheduled to begin filming in late July and resume airing on September 19.

"Everyone on the show was told they were taking a two-week hiatus until [the producers] figure out what they want to do," a source told the magazine.

"The writers and producers are trying to figure out what to do with Cory's character because they need to rewrite everything now."

According to the same source, Monteith's character Finn Hudson was to have "a massive storyline" in the fifth season, which now needs to be reworked.

No word yet on how the popular FOX series will handle the star's death.

Monteith died of an apparent overdose at the Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel in Vancouver, Canada on July 13.

The 31-year-old actor rose to stardom with his breakout role as jock-turned-show choir member Finn Hudson on FOX's Glee.

He has starred on the show since its premiere in 2009, and has been in a real-life relationship with his frequent onscreen romantic partner Lea Michele.

Richard Nephew, Elizabeth Rosenberg, Anthony Ruggiero, Toby Dalton December 07, 2017Washington,

DCSanctions are seen as an essential tool for nonproliferation and in some cases prove useful, as with Iran.

However, as new challenges such as North Korea loom, are the United States and its partners using sanctions the right way to achieve their objectives?

# ترجمه فارسی کتاب «هنر تحریم‌ها» منتشر شد

ترجمه فارسی کتاب «هنر تحریم‌ها، نگاهی از درون میدان» نوشته ریچارد نفیو، طراح تحریم‌های ایران به درخواست رئیس مجلس و از سوی مرکز پژوهش‌ها منتشر شد.

به گزارش خبرگزاری مهر، این کتاب که به الگوی تحریم‌های ایران و ذهنیت تحریم‌سازان در مورد شیوه کارکرد این تحریم‌ها پرداخته‌است توسط ریچارد نفیو، مسئول تیم طراحی تحریم‌ها علیه ایران، منجر به برجام، در دوره دوم اوباما و چهره اصلی تیم پشتیبان مذاکره‌کنندگان این توافق در امور تحریم‌ها در وین نوشته شده‌است.

نفیو پیش از آن، به‌مدت ده سال مسئول امور ایران در شورای امنیت ملی در کاخ سفید و قائم‌مقام هماهنگی سیاست تحریم در وزارت خارجه ایالات متحده بوده‌است. در حقیقت، نفیو را می‌توان فرمانده چریکهای کت و شلواری جنگ تحریمی ایالات متحده علیه ایران خطاب کرد.

نفیو در این کتاب با عنوان «هنر تحریم‌ها، نگاهی از درون میدان» به تشریح چارچوب فکری و عملی خود در طراحی تحریم‌ها علیه ایران با هدف افزایش حداکثری تأثیر و موفقیت آنها می‌پردازد. این کتاب، به‌دلیل آنکه نه از بُعد نظری یا دانشگاهی، بلکه با دیدی کاملاً عملگرایانه و معطوف به مسئله تحریم‌گذاری می‌پردازد و توسط مسئول طراحی تحریم‌های ایران نوشته شده، از آثار دیگر در این زمینه متمایز است. این کتاب، در آستانه سال ۱۳۹۷ شمسی در آمریکا منتشر شده و از این بابت نیز در ارتباط با تحولات مرتبط با ایران، تازگی دارد.

این کتاب از زمان کوتاهی که منتشر شده تاکنون، در حد راهنمای آموزشی تحریم‌گذاری در سطوح بالای دستگاه سیاستگذاری آمریکا معرفی شده‌است. به‌عنوان

دنیل فرید هماهنگ‌کننده سابق وزارت خارجه آمریکا در امور تحریم‌ها، ضمن توصیه کتاب به همقطاران خود می‌نویسد: «نفیو توانسته کتاب آموزشی استادانه‌ای در این زمینه بنویسد. آنهایی که سروکارشان با کره شمالی، روسیه و ایران است و در مورد این کشورها نگرانی دارند از کتاب هنر تحریم‌ها مطالب زیادی می‌آموزند».

همچنین، رابرت اینهورن مشاور ارشد سابق دفتر عدم اشاعه در وزارت خارجه آمریکا و عضو برجسته مؤسسه بروکینگز می‌نویسد: «نفیو با استفاده از تجربه دست اول خود به‌عنوان یک مذاکره‌کننده و سیاستگذار آمریکایی توانسته راهنمای بسیار خوبی را در حوزه ایجاد و اجرای تحریم‌ها تدوین کند، تحریم‌هایی که به ابزاری جالب و بسیار مهم از سیاست دولت آمریکا تبدیل شده‌است، این کتاب حتماً باید توسط مقامات و کارشناسان حوزه کره شمالی، ایران و روسیه خوانده شود و در مورد بقیه چالش‌های مهم امنیت ملی آمریکا نیز به‌کار گرفته شود».

دنیس راس مشاور رئیس‌جمهور سابق آمریکا (باراک اوباما) نیز دربارهٔ کتاب می‌گوید: «از آنجا که خود نفیو یکی از افراد تأثیرگذار و اجراکننده تحریم‌ها بوده، نگاه وی و نتیجه‌گیری او در این زمینه از اعتبار بالایی برخوردار است و می‌تواند به سیاستگذاران کمک بسیار زیادی بکند».

نویسنده در این کتاب به بیان نوع نگاه خود به تحریم‌ها از منظر دوگانه «درد/ استقامت» می‌پردازد. وی توضیح می‌دهد که درد تحریم‌ها را چه زمانی، چگونه و برکجا می‌توان وارد کرد و در عین حال، استقامت طرف مورد تحریم را چگونه و براساس چه شاخص‌هایی می‌توان سنجید و تحریم‌ها را چگونه متناسب با این شاخص‌ها، تنظیم و بازتنظیم کرد که بیشترین تأثیر را برجای بگذارد به‌طوری که در نهایت دیپلماسی وارد شده و نفع حداکثری را برای تحریم‌گذار به ارمغان بیاورد.

نویسنده در جای‌جای کتاب خود نشان می‌دهد که تحریم‌گذاری به‌عنوان ابزار استراتژیک در دستگاه سیاست خارجی ایالات متحده، نه امری صرفاً فنی، بلکه بیشتر هنر تصمیم‌گیری و به‌کار گرفتن خلاقانه ابزارهای مختلف اقتصادی، اجتماعی و سیاسی در این مورد است. به‌عنوان مثال، نفیو نشان می‌دهد که چگونه در عین تحریم اقلام مختلف، واردات کالاهای لوکس را از تحریم مستثنا کرده تا به احساس اجتماعی تحریم‌شدگی بیشتر دامن بزند، یا مثلاً چگونه افزایش قیمت مرغ در ایران، موضوعی که هدف تحریم نبوده، به افزایش فشار تحریم‌ها کمک کرده‌است یا مثلاً چطور واردات برخی اقلام را منع نکرده تا ذخیره ارزی ایران با سرعت بیشتر و زودتر تحلیل برود و …

نتیجه کلی کتاب برای مخاطب ایرانی و سیاستگذاران می‌تواند این نکته باشد که اولاً تحریم‌گذار تحریم را به‌عنوان ابزار اصلی و ثابت در جعبه ابزار تعامل خود با کشورهای دیگر می‌داند و این امر با اقدامات مقطعی قابل رفع نیست، چنان‌که در مواعد و زمینه‌های مختلف قابل استفاده مجدد است و ثانیاً و مهمتر از آن اینکه: آنچه سرنوشت جنگ تحریمی را مشخص خواهد کرد، «هنر استقامت» در ابعاد مختلف آن و به‌کارگیری روش‌های مختلف سنتی و خلاقانه است که در گام آخر می‌تواند نفع دیپلماتیک را برای کشور تحت تحریم رقم زند و بدون ساختن بستر استقامت، شروع از گام آخر می‌تواند نتایج معکوس به بار آورد.

گفتنی است، ترجمه فاررسی کتاب «هنر تحریم‌ها» توسط مرکز پژوهش‌های مجلس منتشر شده و در شناسنامه آن متقاضی تهیه و ترجمه آن رئیس مجلس ذکر شده‌است. این گزارش از اینجا قابل دسترسی است.

A songwriting landmark about nasty collisions of the personal and the political — the working title was Emotional Fascism.

The Attractions, vacuum-tight after a solid year on the road, frame Costello's show-offishly catchy melodies and acerbic wordplay in grand, tricky arrangements.

Secret power-pop weapon: producer Nick Lowe, who wrote the magnificent rocker "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding?" for Costello.

(meta data) TITLE: Elvis Costello & The Attractions: Armed Forces | Album Reviews | Pitchfork

The Wayback Machine - https://web.archive.org/web/20160318065515/http://pitchfork.com:80/reviews/albums/1621-armed-forces/

It could be said that Elvis Costello had the distinct pleasure of living out the ultimate dream of every sharp-witted, incurably bitter young bastard with hopes of achieving stardom.

In only two and a half years, he was propelled from an awkward, computer-programming teenager with a Jazzmaster and ugly glasses to the prototype for chic geekdom.

Virtually overnight, he established himself as among the most articulate songwriters rock music has ever seen, infusing punk with the literacy it had always strived for but rarely achieved.

With superstar status and a reputation for pushing the envelope, Costello was able to crystallize the thematic threads of political and personal devastation that ran through his first two records into the concept of "emotional fascism," the original title for Armed Forces.

Though Armed Forces is in many ways the most conceptually aggressive and confrontational of Costello's first three records, it doesn't carry with it the same immediacy of his first two releases, 1977's My Aim Is True and 1978's This Year's Model, on which he came as a man with something to prove.

There's something intensely subversive about My Aim Is True with its undercurrents of anger and frustration providing a foundation for his synthesis of pop melody, country twang, and punk energy.

This Year's Model, meanwhile, saw Costello expanding his sound significantly, with each instrument coming through as clear and urgent as a warning siren.

It was equal parts whispered confession and frantic street corner sermon, and though he never quite reached its apex again, Armed Forces comes very close.

As Costello writes in the liner notes to this expanded reissue, Armed Forces marks the first time that he was actually aware of his audience.

Perhaps in an attempt to elucidate the web of veiled and convoluted social and personal references running through his first two records, the album is lyrically much more general, and remarkably self-conscious, right from the opening lyric, "Oh, I just don't know where to begin."

This, of course, doesn't slow Costello down-- "Accidents Will Happen", one of the finest songs in his, or any, repertoire, matches a signature smirking double-entendre with an almost Baroque pop sensibility.

Melodically and lyrically, the song is above reproach, as Costello sings of infidelity with what could either be construed as regret or smug satisfaction.

It's also one of several songs on Armed Forces to benefit from the album's dense production.

Whereas both My Aim Is True and This Year's Model are sharply produced, relatively sparse affairs, Armed Forces is extravagantly layered with dense instrumentation and rich, effusive textures.

Pete Thomas' maniacal drumming is much more consistent than on previous outings, and keyboardist Steve Nieve, for the first time, is as likely to be found at a piano as behind a synthesizer.

On "Accidents Will Happen" and the similarly stunning "Oliver's Army", in which Costello winds catchy and elegant melodies around slightly off-kilter chord progressions, the production works to the record's advantage, filling the songs out with bombastic power-pop arrangements and giving weight to their urgency.

"Big Boys" and "Green Shirt"-- two subdued products of the same mold that produced "The Beat" and "Pump It Up", and make full use of steady, insistent rhythms and the unstoppable kinetic energy of The Attractions-- are near-classics as well, but are somewhat hindered by the album's smoother production.

An earlier acoustic version of "Big Boys" included as a bonus track on Rhino's reissue of This Year's Model reveals layers of anger and heartbreak that the album version buries beneath impenetrable four-part harmonies and a heavy fog of reverb.

Of course, even if the production on Armed Forces often serves to conceal, rather than reveal the nuances of Costello's songwriting and The Attractions' always impeccable playing, the songwriting can hardly be argued with.

"Goon Squad" carries on the menacing tone and complex rhythms of "Watching the Detectives" and "(I Don't Want to Go to) Chelsea" with a prodigious sense of melody; "Party Girl" is yet another example of Costello successfully executing what would, in the hands of a lesser musician, quickly strike as overwrought; "Moods for Moderns" turns disco cliché into new wave brilliance; and a fiery, acidic cover of Nick Lowe's "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding" mockingly closes an album packed with dauntless, condemnatory social commentary.

In the end, the greatest strength of Armed Forces may be the same thing that makes it less viscerally powerful than Costello's two prior records-- its songs absolutely demand to be appreciated for their craftsmanship.

In many ways, Armed Forces can be seen as the point at which Costello dropped the role of angry young upstart, and became more comfortable with his personification as a songwriter.

And considering that he has since remained largely true to this sound, it can be seen not only as the consummation of all he had worked toward, but a window to what he would later accomplish.

"Oliver's Army" has attracted positive reviews from music critics. In 1979, Geoffrey Himes of "The Washington Post" praised the "compressed drama" of "Oliver's Army", along with all the other tracks on "Armed Forces", and highlighted the song's lyrics, despite calling it "almost a direct steal from Spector's hit with the Ronettes, 'Baby, I Love You'". Maslin called the track the "pièce de résistance" of "Armed Forces" and praised the contrast between the song's music and lyrics.


Besides its traditional orientation towards arts and crafts and design, the museum especially focuses on architecture and contemporary art.

###### MAK TERRACE PLATEAU IN THE GARDEN, 1991-93

In a way that is virtually unparalleled by any other institution, the MAK stands for the fruitful combination of the past with the future, something which can be clearly sensed and experienced when visiting its extensive collection, large exhibition halls, themed special exhibitions and discourse-centered program of events.

Bringing together applied arts, design, architecture, and contemporary art is one of the museum's core competencies, in light of which it becomes apparent just what contribution the interplay of these areas is capable of making to overall cultural development.

The MAK – Austrian Museum of Applied Arts / Contemporary Art is one of the most important museums of its kind worldwide.

Founded as the Imperial Royal Austrian Museum of Art and Industry in 1863, today's museum—with its unique collection of applied arts and as a first-class address for contemporary art—can boast an incomparable identity.

Originally established as an exemplary source collection, today's MAK Collection continues to stand for an extraordinary union of applied art, design, contemporary art and architecture.

The spacious halls of the Permanent Collection in the magnificent Ringstraße building by Heinrich von Ferstel were later redesigned by contemporary artists in order to present selected highlights from the MAK Collection.

In a unique interplay of artistic heritage and contemporary interventions, the historical holdings have been staged in a way that invites close examination of the individual exhibits.

With the MAK DESIGN LAB, the museum has undertaken in 2014 a redesign of the former MAK Study Collection, and the design concept of the LAB has been consciously chosen as a contrast to the MAK Permanent Collection.

The MAK DESIGN LAB expands our understanding of design—a term that is traditionally grounded in the 20th and 21st centuries—by including previous centuries, thereby enabling a better evaluation of the concept of design today.

In temporary exhibitions, the MAK presents various artistic stances from the fields of applied arts, design, architecture, contemporary art, and new media, with the mutual relationships between them being a consistently emphasized theme.

The institution's multifaceted mission allows for varied approaches, opening up new perspectives from which to regard historical relationships and offering frequent glimpses at artistically and societally relevant developments that are just beginning to appear on the horizon.

Sofas by Franz West invite visitors to sit down, take a break and perhaps page through today's papers; this can also be said of the seating elements by Hermann Czech in the MAK's central, neo-Renaissance Columned Main Hall.

Culinary delights can be found at the restaurant Salonplafond.

With its interior design by architect Michael Embacher, the restaurant is another great opportunity for a break—try its outdoor dining area in the MAK Garden for a particularly relaxing experience.

Immediately adjacent is the MAK Design Shop, whose range of offerings includes gifts both extraordinary and practical as well as publications, design objects and artists' editions.

On selected Tuesdays, young designers present their newest products here when the Shop serves as an After Work Meeting Point for design aficionados.

In the MAK Reading Room, likewise located in the Stubenring building, user-friendly opening hours and free admission even afford visitors weekend access to books from Austria's largest art library, home to an archive of societal and cultural knowledge that is constantly being updated.

The large exhibition halls were built between 1906 and 1909 according to plans by architect Ludwig Baumann; with a total floor space of 2,700 m2, they are among Austria's largest such facilities.

The exhibition halls are connected with the Stubenring building by a glass wing designed by Sepp Müller in 1991, and they can also be accessed separately via their own entrance on Weiskirchnerstraße.

Stepping through the latter, one is impressed by the generosity of the magnificent late-historicist entrance foyer, behind which lie the exhibition halls and the MAK Lecture Hall.

Two levels play host to regularly changing temporary exhibitions covering a wide range of approaches to the diverse themes encompassed by the MAK's mission.

The MAK is also present in the public sphere, leaving its visible mark on the city's urban order.

Directly in front of the Stubenring building is the Tor zum Ring [Gate to the Ring] constructed by James Wines/SITE in 1992, which physically shifts a piece of the building's outer wall into the urban space, leaving behind a new point of access to the museum.

A counterpart to this is Walter Pichler's artistic and architectural intervention Tor zum Garten [Gate to the Garden] (1990), which opens the museum to its garden on the other side.

Also in the MAK Garden is the MAK Terrace Plateau, constructed between 1991 and 1993 after a design by Peter Noever; it is oriented toward the Wien River and provides the museum with a further architectonic axis.

James Turrell's light sculpture MAKlite causes intense, variously colored light to pulse in the windows of the MAK, thus communicating the complex situations generated within the museum to the urban environment outside.

Permanently installed since 2004, this installation releases the building's brick façade from its urban uniformity.

Somewhat further afield, at the intersection of Franz-Josefs-Kai and Schottenring, one sees the Wiener Trio by Philip Johnson, conceived for the exhibition Turning Point (1996).

And the bridge next to the MAK (the Stubenbrücke) has been home to Franz West's Four Lemurheads since 2001.

The Stadtpark, one of the city's green oases, lies just adjacent to the MAK and beckons refreshingly to museum visitors.

The park has played host to Donald Judd's sculpture Stage Set since 1996; this public artwork, as well, was created specifically for an exhibition at the MAK.The MAK, which defines itself as a laboratory of societal knowledge, is a place of collecting, research, preservation, education, and interactive learning, as well as a site of human encounters, interaction, and intercreativity.

Thanks not least to its international branches and cross-border activities, the museum is also a forum of intercultural and artistic exchange as well as of fruitful dialog with designers, artists, and architects.
