A menu of mishaps means the government's school lunch provider is now facing new performance measures, including providing daily evidence of what it's serving up. Food Safety is investigating the revamped lunch programme after a Gisborne student received second-degree burns from a Wattie's cottage pie meal that splashed on their leg. The agency has ordered the School Lunch collective to immediately stop serving the pre-made meals. Louise Ternouth reports.
Some students are being served Wattie's ready to eat frozen fish pie meals, that can be be bought straight from the supermarket freezer. It comes as the Principal's Federation calls for the government to sack its new school lunch provider and fund schools to deliver locally made meals. The Principals Federation National President, Leanne Otene spoke to Lisa Owen.
Last time we spoke about the conquest of Angaur and the Japanese Triumph in China. By October 18th, the remaining Japanese on Angaur were compressed into a small area, and by the 21st, resistance had ceased. The Americans suffered 264 killed and 1,355 wounded, while approximately 1,300 Japanese were killed. Over in China, Hara's forces suffered heavy losses during a delaying action at Momauk, with troops joining Bhamo's defense by November 16. The 113th Regiment maneuvered to encircle Bhamo from the south, while the 114th Regiment approached from the north, creating a loose encirclement. The 22nd Division's movement prompted concerns of severing key rail lines, leading Japanese forces to reposition defensively. Despite intense fighting, including a strong Chinese offensive on November 19, the Japanese withdrew from key positions, allowing Chinese forces to capture Mangshi and secure a strategic airfield for resupply, significantly impacting the campaign's dynamics.

As we last saw on Peleliu, General Rupertus' 1st Marine Division, bolstered by Colonel Dark's 321st Regiment, successfully secured the island after approximately two weeks of intense fighting. However, Colonel Nakagawa's isolated and outnumbered garrison continued to resist in the Umurbrogol Pocket. As left by nature, the Umurbrogol Pocket was much like the Ibdi Pocket on Biak Island, but larger and rougher. Like Ibdi, the Umurbrogol originally had a thick cover of tropical trees and dense jungle undergrowth which, as the result of continued air, naval, and artillery bombardment (including extensive employment of aerial napalm strikes), was gradually knocked down or burned away. Again, as on Biak, the Japanese had improved upon nature. There were many artificial or semi-artificial caves which had been constructed to protect approaches to the inner sections of the pocket, and the Japanese had improved almost every natural cave. Where no caves were available or could be constructed, the defenders employed rock faults and crevices for defensive positions. Digging new entrances to existing caves or even cutting new levels within some caves, the Japanese were well prepared to execute a long and bloody holding action along the many ridges. These ridges, with the exception of the Five Sisters group at the southern side of the pocket, were generally parallel and oriented north-northeast to south-southwest. Steep-sided and fissured, many of them had razor-back summits upon which no cover could be found. The ridges were separated by deep draws, gullies, and wider valleys, the floors of which were strewn with coral boulders or coral outcroppings similar to stalagmites. Steep as they were, the sides of some ridges also were covered with such chunks and outcroppings. In late September, the exhausted infantrymen, who were tasked with containing the pocket while the Marines cleared northern Peleliu, made several heavy assaults. They only managed to reach the X-ray phase line, marking what was believed to be the northern edge of the core Japanese defenses, before being relieved by the 7th Marines. With Colonel Hanneken's 1st and 3rd Battalions now holding the X-ray line, Rupertus planned a strong attack southward while other Marine units maintained their positions on the western and southern sides of the pocket. On the morning of September 30, the attack was launched. However, fierce Japanese resistance, heavy rain, fog, and sickness hindered the 7th Marines' progress southward by October 2. On the following day, Hanneken's 2nd Battalion, supported by tanks, secured a foothold along the eastern side and top of Walt Ridge, while the 3rd Battalion finally captured the eastern slope of Boyd Ridge. By October 4, however, the 7th Marines had suffered such heavy losses and were so depleted that Rupertus was left with no choice but to relieve them as well. As a result, Colonel Harris's 5th Marines were once again thrust into action. On October 7, following an hour-long artillery and mortar barrage, the 3rd Battalion, along with six tanks, advanced into Mortimer Valley. However, Nakagawa's determined defenders continued to resist fiercely, successfully repelling two powerful tank-infantry assaults, causing heavy American casualties. Our old friend Eugene Sledge with K Company, 3d Battalion, 5th Marines, wrote about fighting in this area, it is as follows “Johnny led us on up through a jumble of rocks on Hill 140. Company K's line was emplaced along a rock rim, and we set up the mortars in a shallow depression about twenty yards behind it. The riflemen and machine gunners in front of us were in among rocks along the rim of Hill 140 facing east toward Walt Ridge and the northern end of the infamous Horseshoe. We had previously attacked that valley from its southern end. From the rim of Hill 140 the rock contours dropped away in a sheer cliff to a canyon below. No one could raise his head above the rim rock without immediately drawing heavy rifle and machine-gun fire. The fighting around the pocket was as deadly as ever, but of a different type from the early days of the campaign. The Japanese fired few artillery or mortar barrages, just a few rounds at a time when assured of inflicting maximum casualties. That they usually did, and then secured the guns to escape detection. Sometimes there was an eerie quiet. We knew they were everywhere in the caves and pillboxes. But there was no firing in our area, only the sound of firing elsewhere. The silence added an element of unreality to the valleys. If we moved past a certain point, the Japanese opened up suddenly with rifle, machine-gun, mortar, and artillery fire. It was like a sudden storm breaking. More often than not we had to pull back, and not a man in the company had seen a live enemy anywhere. They couldn't hope to drive us off by then or to be reinforced themselves. From that point onward, they killed solely for the sake of killing, without hope and without higher purpose. We were fighting in Peleliu's ridges and valleys, in terrain the likes of which most Americans could not even visualize, against an enemy unlike anything most Americans could imagine”. In response to this setback, Rupertus halted further offensive operations and ordered his forces to maintain pressure on the Japanese stronghold through sustained artillery fire and aerial bombardments. Over the next two days, this relentless bombardment cleared so much foliage and undergrowth that visibility across the ridges improved significantly. This allowed the attacks to resume on October 9, and although no ground was gained initially, Harris's 2nd Battalion succeeded in securing Wattie, Baldy, and 120 Ridges on October 10. They then pushed south to capture the tactically vital Hill 140. From this position, a Marine howitzer provided critical support to the 5th and 7th Marines as they cleared an area approximately 700 yards long and up to 200 yards east beyond the previous containment lines along West Road. However, on October 14, Dark's 321st Regiment began moving up to relieve the Marines, as General Geiger had decided to end Marine participation in the Battle of Peleliu. Just before they were relieved, Eugene Sledge wrote a passage about moving through positions in October, finding numerous dead, stinking in the hot sun. One corpse he found made a significant impact on him, here is the passage. “As we moved past the defilade, my buddy groaned, “Jesus!” I took a quick glance into the depression and recoiled in revulsion and pity at what I saw. The bodies were badly decomposed and nearly blackened by exposure. This was to be expected of the dead in the tropics, but these Marines had been mutilated hideously by the enemy. One man had been decapitated. His head lay on his chest; his hands had been severed from his wrists and also lay on his chest near his chin. In disbelief I stared at the face as I realized that the Japanese had cut off the dead Marine's penis and stuffed it into his mouth. The corpse next to him had been treated similarly. The third had been butchered, chopped up like a carcass torn by some predatory animal. My emotions solidified into rage and a hatred for the Japanese beyond anything I ever had experienced. From that moment on I never felt the least pity or compassion for them no matter what the circumstances. My comrades would field-strip their packs and pockets for souvenirs and take gold teeth, but I never saw a Marine commit the kind of barbaric mutilation the Japanese committed if they had access to our dead. When we got back to the gun pit, my buddy said, “Sledgehammer, did you see what the Nips did to them bodies? Did you see what them poor guys had in their mouths?” I nodded as he continued, “Christ, I hate them slant-eyed bastards!” “Me too. They're mean as hell,” was all I could say.” About mid-October, a number of command changes occurred in the Palaus area. On the 12th, for instance, the 1st Marine Division was relieved of all responsibilities other than continuing the fight in the Umurbrogol Pocket. The 321st Infantry took over the defenses along the eastern arm, while the Island Garrison Force assumed responsibility for the area south of the pocket. On the morning of October 12, the command post of the 3rd Amphibious Corps moved ashore and General Geiger, the corps commander, declared that the assault and occupation phase of operations on Peleliu was ended. The exact meaning of this announcement is not clear, especially in relation to Admiral Fort's somewhat similar declaration of September 30, stating that Angaur, Peleliu, Ngesebus, and Kongauru had been captured and occupied. However, General Geiger's announcement seems to have been made in preparation for the 1st Marine Division's imminent departure from the Palaus. The statement also bears relation to the passing of control of operations in the Palaus from the 3rd Fleet and Admiral Halsey (as then represented by Admiral Fort's Western Attack Force headquarters) to the Headquarters, Forward Area Central Pacific (Task Force 57), under Admiral Hoover. On the 13th General Geiger issued orders alerting the 321st Regimental Combat Team to relieve the 1st Marine Division elements still at the Umurbrogol Pocket. The next day, control over all operations in the Palaus passed from Admiral Fort to Admiral Hoover's command. With the relief of the Marines at the Umurbrogol, the remainder of the battered 1st Marine Division then began preparations for leaving the Palaus. At the same time, the 1st Battalion, 323rd Regiment, fresh from operations at Ulithi Atoll, started preparations to relieve Marine units in the southwest corner of the pocket, with the rest of the regiment to follow. Consequently, the Marines prepared to depart from the Palaus, with Dark taking over responsibility for the reduction of Umurbrogol. Since September 29, the Marines had endured an additional 1,000 casualties, bringing their total to 1,252 killed and 5,274 wounded. In return, they estimated having killed between 850 and 1,000 Japanese soldiers, leaving roughly 1,000 defenders in the shrinking pocket as the 321st moved back in. After a failed local attempt to capture the northernmost peak of the Five Brothers Ridge on October 16, Dark launched a general attack the next day, which resulted in a modest gain of about 125 yards and the neutralization of some caves to the east. On the morning of October 18, the attack resumed, with Dark's 2nd Battalion successfully capturing three peaks of the Five Brothers, thanks to support from mortars, tanks, and LVT-mounted flamethrowers. However, undeterred by this overwhelming firepower, the Japanese immediately counterattacked and reclaimed the three peaks by nightfall. On the southwest side of the pocket, Nakagawa had also sent infiltrators through tunnels and connecting caves to raid the enemy lines, forcing Geiger to redirect elements of the 7th Marines and 323rd Regiment to address this new southern pocket. After much effort, most of the infiltrators were finally pushed north on October 23, though mopping up in the Southern Pocket wasn't completed until November 3. Meanwhile, on October 19, following a deadly napalm strike, Dark's 1st Battalion advanced up to 50 yards along the ridges west of Hill 140 with the help of howitzers and much-needed sandbags. The battalion's men, lying prone on the ground, inched their sandbags forward with rifle butts or sticks, laboriously expanding their hold and almost realizing the infantrymen's dream of portable foxholes. The next day, General Mueller formally assumed command of the Peleliu campaign. Following some reconnaissance and a napalm strike, the 321st resumed its assault on October 21, making significant progress by advancing over 100 yards and capturing the northernmost peak of the Five Brothers. On the subsequent day, Dark launched a coordinated attack with his 2nd Battalion securing the first three Brothers, the reinforced 1st Battalion struggling to breach Death Valley, and the 3rd Battalion sweeping through Mortimer Valley with tank support. After this achievement, while Colonel Watson was bringing the remaining 323rd Regiment to the Umurbrogol area, the only major progress was the capture of the fourth Brother on October 23. Two days later, the 323rd began relieving the weary 321st Regiment. By this time, Dark had lost 146 men killed and 469 wounded on Peleliu. As Watson took over, Nakagawa's forces had been reduced to about 700 effective troops, including those lightly wounded. The pocket's dimensions had also been compressed to an average north-south length of about 600 yards. Fortunately for the defenders, heavy rains, fog, and poor visibility significantly hampered Watson's operations in the Umurbrogol Pocket from October 26 to November 1. This period was used mainly for mortar barrages, napalm strikes, defense enhancements, and extending sandbag fortifications. Despite this pause, Nakagawa launched near-nightly counterattacks over the six days, primarily targeting the Five Brothers, which mostly resulted in further casualties for the defenders. To understand the eventual reduction of the Umurbrogol Pocket, we will need to shift our focus to the plans and preparations for General MacArthur's grand return to the Philippines. Previously, General MacArthur, along with Admirals Nimitz and Halsey, decided to abandon the preliminary operations for Mindanao and Yap in favor of a direct assault on Leyte. To be much more frank General MacArthur was having a turf war with Admiral Nimitz. After the Marianas campaign, the endgame of Nimitz island hoping across the Pacific forced the Joint Chiefs of staff to make a choice, to invade the Philippines, or leave it to wither on the vine and instead invade formosa. Admiral King, the joint chiefs of staff, Admiral Leahy and General Hap Arnold all favored the Formosa option. For quite awhile Nimitz got everyone onboard with this plan as Formosa was a logical choice being only 900 kms away from Japan and its seizure would cut off southeast asia from the home islands. With Formosa the Americans could even begin an invasion of southern CHina to aid their allies there and toss plenty of B-29s at the home islands from a much closer location. But then there was the force of nature that was Douglas MacArthur. MacArthur argued Formosa would be “a massive operation, extremely costly in men and shipping, logistically precarious and time consuming.” And he was willing to take his case straight to Washington. In July of 1944 he along with Nimitz went to Honolulu to meet with FDR. MacArthur bitterly protested the meeting, as he knew full well FDR was trying to get re-elected for a fourth term “humiliation of forcing me to leave my command to fly to Honolulu for a political picture taking junket.” So not to be outdone by FDR, MacArthur showboated, by landing early with. He went to a local shop in a limousine he borrowed, and had his staff place a 4 star general insignia upon. He wore khaki trousers a brown leather air force jacket and the cap of a Filipino Field Marshall, going out into public waving at crowds gathering to see the president. When he moved into a cabin to meet with FDR he refused to change into cooler attire stating to FDR , “you haven't been up there where I came from, and it's cold up there in the sky.” MacArthur then pretended Nimitz was not in the room and dominated the strategic discussions and attempted at every possible moment to impose his will on the rather ailing and sickly president, whose physical decline had become more apparent. During a private meeting between the two MacArthur said this to FDR “Mr. President, the country has forgiven you for what took place on Bataan. You hope to be re-elected president of the United States, but the nation will never forgive you if you approve a plan which leaves 17 million Christian American subjects to wither in the Philippines under the conqueror's heel until the peace treaty frees them. You might do it for reasons of strategy or tactics, but politically, it would ruin you” Rather ironic given it was his responsibility to defend those he was now blackmailing FDR to save. But the truth of the matter was, MacArthur had stolen the American press and American peoples hearts, his grand statement to return to the Philippines was a huge issue. There of course was the other issue, MacArthur could run on the Republican ticket against FDR. Some would allege FDR was bullied into an invasion of the Philippines because of this. To twist FDR's arm, MacArthur assured him the losses in retaking Luzon would be minimal “Mr. President, my losses would not be heavy, any more than they have been in the past … your good commanders do not turn in heavy losses.” Despite it being a slight against Nimitz, MacArthur's arguments did twist his wrist. That evening FDR spoke to his doctor Ross McIntire stating this “Give me an aspirin before I go to bed. In fact, give me another aspirin to take in the morning. In all my life nobody ever talked to me the way MacArthur did.” When leaving back on his plane, MacArthur turned to his aide and boasted, “We've sold it.” and when he returned to his South West Pacific Area Command HQ in Brisbane, MacArthur informed his staff, “the President has accepted my recommendations and approved the Philippines plan.” MacArthur was a bit too optimistic, although FDR agreed to invade the Philippines he did not do so without recommendations of his joint chiefs of staff. The Navy was to bear the brunt of furnishing air support in the early stages of the campaign. By arrangement with Admiral Nimitz, the Carrier Task Force from Admiral Halsey's 3rd Fleet was to strike northern Luzon and Okinawa or Formosa, or both, from A Day minus 10 to A minus 7. From A minus 4 through A Day, strikes were to be made on Luzon, the Cebu-Negros area, and the Leyte area in support of the landings. As soon as the Palau air base facilities would permit, shore-based air forces from the Central Pacific were to operate in the Bicol area. The Allied Naval Forces was to furnish carrier aircraft as protection for convoys and naval task forces and, supplemented by aircraft of the 3rd Fleet and the Allied Air Forces, to provide direct air support for the landings. In addition, it was to furnish protective air support and cover by carrier aircraft prior to A Day for the preliminary landings in Leyte Gulf and for the mine sweeping. On September 24, General Kenney issued his order for the Leyte operation and assigned missions to the Allied Air Forces. He designated General Whitehead's 5th Air Force as the Air Assault Force. It was to support the operation by intensified air activities against enemy installations, destroy hostile air and surface forces in the Celebes Sea and assigned areas in the Philippine Archipelago, and provide air defense for existing bases and forces in transit to Leyte within range of its capabilities. It was also to be prepared to establish, on order, land-based air forces on Leyte. The 13th Air Force was to support the missions of the 5th Air Force, while the Royal Australian Air Force Command was to destroy Japanese installations and sources of raw materials in the Netherlands Indies. Additionally, Halsey's 3rd Fleet was to be on standby to support the Leyte operation, with the objective of "destroying enemy naval and air forces in or threatening the Philippine Area." Submarines from both the Southwest and Central Pacific Areas would provide support through offensive reconnaissance of likely Japanese routes, maintaining observation and lifeguard services, and offering weather reports and strategic patrols. On the ground, General Krueger's 6th Army would lead the Leyte assault, taking over the operation after the disbandment of Alamo Force on September 25. With this force moving to the Philippines, General Eichelberger's 8th Army was assigned garrison duties in New Guinea, New Britain, the Admiralties, and Morotai. For King II, Krueger's forces included General Sibert's 10th Corps, consisting of the 1st Cavalry and 24th Infantry Divisions, totaling 53,000 men, and General Hodge's 24th Corps, comprising the 7th and 96th Divisions, totaling 51,500 men. The corps originally designated for the canceled Yap operation was reassigned to the 6th Army, replacing the 14th Corps, which was meant to carry out the initial Leyte landings after securing Mindanao. However, the 14th Corps was still in the process of being relieved at Bougainville. To further support the operation, Krueger kept the 32nd and 77th Divisions in reserve, totaling approximately 28,500 troops. Krueger's plan involved an advance team landing Lieutenant-Colonel Henry Mucci's 6th Ranger Battalion on the islands guarding the approaches to Leyte Gulf on October 17. As the Rangers took control of these small islands, Admiral Oldendorf's Fire Support Group would initiate a comprehensive bombardment campaign in preparation for the landings. Minesweepers and underwater demolition teams would also begin clearing natural and man-made obstacles from the gulf. On October 20, Admiral Barbey's Task Force 78 was to transport and land the 10th Corps, while Admiral Wilkinson's Task Force 79 was tasked with landing the 24th Corps. The reinforced 21st Regiment was scheduled to land at 09:30 near Panaon Strait, at the southeastern tip of Leyte, to secure control of the entrance to Sogod Bay. Further north, the 10th Corps was to land two divisions abreast in the Marasbaras and Palo areas at 10:00, while the 24th Corps would simultaneously land two divisions abreast in the Dulag area, about 15 miles to the south. Major-General Verne Mudge's 1st Cavalry Division was to capture Tacloban and its airfield and secure control of San Juanico Strait, while Major-General Frederick Irving's 24th Division seized Palo and advanced northwest through the Leyte Valley. The two divisions would then converge on Carigara at the northern end of the valley. Hodge's strategy involved Major-General James Bradley's 96th Division landing between Dulag and San Roque to secure a segment of Highway 1 within its operational zone, as well as Catmon Hill and the Dagami-Tanauan area. Since Bradley's task was relatively easier, the 381st Regiment was designated as Krueger's floating reserve. At the same time, Major-General Archibald Arnold's 7th Division was tasked with coming ashore in the Dulag area. One part of this division was to move south to capture the Highway 1 bridge and the Daguitan River crossings at Dao, while the main force advanced along the Dulag-Burauen road to take Burauen and then push on to Dagami. From there, Arnold's troops were expected to be ready to seize Abuyog and Baybay, eliminating enemy forces on the west coast and in southern Leyte. With the successful completion of these objectives, Krueger aimed to break the backbone of Japanese resistance. Consequently, with Leyte Valley and its airfields and base sites secured by the 6th Army, the 10th Corps would then advance south through the Ormoc Valley towards Ormoc, while the 24th Corps would move north from Baybay along the Ormoc Bay coast to link up with Sibert. Meanwhile, General Yamashita relied on General Suzuki's 35th Army, which consisted of four divisions and two independent mixed brigades dispersed across the central and southern Philippines. Specifically, Leyte was defended by Lieutenant-General Makino Shiro's 16th Division, experienced veterans of the initial Japanese invasion of the Philippines. Aside from minor forces left on Luzon and Samar, Makino commanded the full combat strength of the 16th Division, supplemented by 4th Air Division ground units, 35th Army service units in the area, and elements of the 36th Naval Guard Unit stationed at Ormoc and Tacloban. Anticipating that enemy landings would most likely occur in the Dulag-Tarragona-Abuyog sector, Makino strategically positioned the majority of his troops in fortified coastal positions between Abuyog in the south and Palo in the north, with the densest concentration around Dulag. By October, the 16th Division had completed three lines of trenches along the shoreline, but these defenses were weak and inadequately placed. The field positions were old-type long connecting trenches prepared in three echelons. These were difficult to defend and easily discovered from the air since camouflage was lacking. The only effective positions were the cave emplacements for artillery, which had been constructed on Catmon Hill. About 60% of the defenses constructed were completed by the time of the invasion. In the event of an enemy invasion, Suzuki kept the 30th Division and three battalions of the 102nd Division as a mobile reserve, ready to be deployed to destroy the enemy wherever they landed. This strategy was known as the Suzu Plan: if the enemy landed at Davao, the mobile reserve would reinforce the 100th Division; if they landed on Leyte, the main force of the 30th Division and three battalions of the 102nd Division were to land at Ormoc to support Makino's defenders. Meanwhile, back in September, Mitscher's fast carriers had conducted several strikes against the Philippines, leading to the near destruction of Japanese air forces and shipping in the region. To prevent air reinforcements to the Philippines, Halsey ordered Admiral Sherman's carrier-based aircraft to launch strikes against enemy aircraft staging areas in the Ryukyus, particularly Okinawa, on October 10. These strikes successfully destroyed an estimated 111 planes and sank or damaged 34 ships. Simultaneously, a cruiser force under Rear Admiral Allan Smith shelled Minami Torishima. The following day, the carriers under Admirals McCain and Davison carried out a feint attack on northern Luzon, sinking two more ships off Aparri. As the attack on the Ryukyus began, Admiral Toyoda was at Shinchiku in northern Formosa, returning to Tokyo after a command inspection in the Philippines intended to boost morale. Upon learning of the strikes, Toyoda believed that the American carriers in the northern Philippine Sea were vulnerable to his powerful land-based air forces. Over 1,800 aircraft were allocated for Sho in total, but they were widely dispersed across the four operation regions. About one third of them were not battle-ready due to casualties and a lack of parts or trained pilots. When the fighting began, Vice-Admiral Fukudome Shigeru (commander of the 2nd Air Fleet based in the Kyūshū-Okinawa-Formosa district) had approximately 700 planes ready in Formosa and Kyushu. 100 or so aircraft in the Seto Inland Sea was later added to his command. Over the next four days, an additional 690 or so planes flew in from bases in Japan and China. Toyoda saw this as a prime opportunity to deal a crippling blow to the enemy fleet and disrupt the Allied invasion timeline. Consequently, he decided to risk all available naval air power in a determined effort to destroy Mitscher's carrier forces, taking personal command of the battle operations in Formosa on October 10. As anticipated, Halsey planned to launch strong carrier-based strikes against Formosa on October 12 and 13. Mitscher's four task groups were assigned targets in southern, northern, and central Formosa, as well as the Takao area. Additionally, General LeMay's first two B-29 strikes of October were scheduled to support the attack, targeting the Okayama aircraft repair and assembly facility in Takao with 170 sorties. Originally set for October 11 and 14, these strikes were postponed to October 14 and 16 due to unfavorable weather forecasts. After a rapid overnight approach on October 11, Mitscher's carriers reached their positions off Formosa the next morning. All four task groups completed launch of predawn fighter sweeps by around 06:00 hours. Because the Japanese were on alert, Grumman F6F Hellcat fighters from all four groups were intercepted by enemy aircraft and moderate to intense anti-aircraft fire was universally reported. Air-to-air engagements were fiercest over northern and central Formosa, where aircraft from Rear Admiral Gerald F. Bogan's TG 38.2 and Rear Admiral Frederick C. Sherman's TG 38.3 operated. Sherman's USS Lexington and USS Essex claimed almost 50 enemy aircraft shot down between them. Bogan's task group contained three Essex-class carriers – USS Intrepid, USS Bunker Hill and USS Hancock. Intrepid and Bunker Hill claimed over 50 Japanese aircraft destroyed, making the combined claims for the two groups around 100. Many of Japan's more experienced pilots were killed during the first wave of American air raid. American carrier air groups had suffered minimal personnel losses with nine U.S. aircraft shot down with three pilots subsequently recovered by nearby ships or submarines. These lopsided results were in part due to a lack of experience among Japanese pilots. IJAAS fighters stationed to the north of the Philippines were still in training. The bulk of enemy fighter aircraft reported by U.S. aviators were Japanese Army types, primarily the Nakajima Ki-44 (Allied reporting name "Tojo"), Kawasaki Ki-61 ("Tony") and Nakajima Ki-43 ("Oscar") models. Even though there were some experienced Japanese naval aviators operating at this time, IJNAS Mitsubishi A6M Zero fighter units reconstituted after the Battle of the Philippine Sea were still learning to work together and did not execute the kind of section or division flying that yielded tactical advantage. By the third strike, the Hellcats had established air dominance over Formosa, with Admirals Bogan and Sherman each claiming over 50 Japanese aircraft destroyed at the cost of nine American planes shot down. This enabled the Americans to carry out four strikes during the day preceded by a fighter sweep. The Hellcats quickly gained air control over Formosa against the 230 Japanese fighters on the island. By the third strike of the day, the Americans faced no air opposition. A total of 1400 sorties were carried out on this day, sinking or damaging 24 vessels off the Pescadores and Takao. This led Toyoda to order the activation of the air component of Operation Sho-Go at 10:30 on October 12. Although over 1,900 dispersed aircraft were assigned to Sho-Go, most did not arrive in the forward area for several days. Consequently, Vice-Admiral Fukudome Shigeru's 2nd Air Fleet began preparing up to 800 planes in southern Kyushu for an attack, supported by Admiral Ozawa's newly-reconstituted flying groups from the 3rd and 4th Carrier Divisions. Though the day's remaining carrier strikes by Hellcat fighters, Curtiss SB2C Helldiver dive bombers, and Grumman TBF Avenger torpedo bombers did significant damage to military installations on Formosa, they failed to completely neutralize Japanese air power based on the island. Lead aircraft on 14 October had made photos revealing Navy damage which included four buildings destroyed and nine damaged out of eighty at the assembly plant, and five hangars destroyed at the air base. Many surviving structures would be destroyed by B-29 raids during the later days of the battle, however. The only Japanese attack that day involved about 45 torpedo bombers, which mistakenly reported two carriers as damaged. Meanwhile, the T Attack Force, a special unit for operations in adverse weather, conducted a strike within a sudden typhoon from 19:00 to 20:20 before landing on Formosan bases. Their efforts were largely ineffective as American ships used smoke screens and evasive maneuvers to avoid damage. Eight Japanese aircraft were shot down by ships' guns during the night, and three Mitsubishi G4M "Betty" bombers were claimed by night fighters from the USS Independence. USS Pritchett suffered damage from friendly fire, but no damage from enemy aircraft was incurred. On October 13, Mitscher's forces resumed strikes against Formosa and the Pescadores with up to 600 aircraft, encountering less opposition but achieving only minor damage due to poor weather. Despite this, Halsey reported the destruction of 520 Japanese aircraft, the sinking of 37 ships, and 74 probable sinkings over the two days. At dusk, the carriers came under attack from 32 planes of the T Attack Force. Despite Belleau Wood's combat air patrol shooting down 16 enemy aircraft, six G4M bombers managed to evade the interceptors and launched a series of determined attacks on Davison's carriers, releasing four torpedoes before all six were eventually downed by shipboard anti-aircraft guns. Fortunately, the torpedoes missed their targets. One torpedo ran just ahead of the USS Franklin, and another ran too deep and passed beneath the carrier. One of the Bettys attempted to crash into Franklin on its way down but glanced off the flight deck and slid over the starboard edge of the ship into the water. However, McCain's carriers faced more challenges as eight B6N2 bombers, evading radar by flying low, attacked the group. While six of the bombers were shot down by anti-aircraft fire, one successfully torpedoed the cruiser Canberra, killing 23 crew members and causing severe damage. The torpedo struck the cruiser in a vulnerable spot—under the main armor belt between both firerooms. The ship lost all power, laying just 90NM off Formosa. As a result, Halsey organized a unit to tow Canberra to safety, necessitating an additional day of protection for the damaged cruiser. On October 14, Mitscher launched early morning fighter sweeps to suppress enemy air power over Luzon and Formosa, while the newly-formed unit escorted Canberra. Japanese reports claimed two carriers were sunk and one was burning, leading Toyoda to believe the enemy retreating east had been severely damaged. Consequently, Fukudome ordered his full strength of 450 planes to launch from southern Kyushu, and Vice-Admiral Shima Kiyoshide's 2nd Striking Force was deployed to sweep the waters east of Formosa. However, before the Japanese could counterattack, 130 B-29s from Chengdu attacked Formosa in the afternoon, with 104 bombers successfully dropping about 650 tons of bombs on Okayama and 13 hitting secondary targets. A dozen planes made emergency landings at friendly fields in China, one crashed near Changteh whence its crew walked out, and one was listed as missing. This was a cheap price to pay for very severe damage done to Okayama installation. At 15:25, Fukudome's initial wave of 124 planes attacked Bogan's carriers. A formation of 25 Yokosuka D4Y "Judy" dive bombers, using cloud cover to evade detection, was intercepted by the group's combat air patrol. Only a few Japanese planes made it past the American fighters. The surviving bombers were able to put two bombs in the vicinity of the Hancock, and one hit the forward port side gun tube without detonating on impact. No serious damage was inflicted by this attack. At around 17:00 a large formation of enemies showed up on radar headed towards TG 38.3. As before, a great many of these were shot down by combat air patrol. The surviving enemy planes flew down to the water level to evade further radar detection. These planes – torpedo bombers and fighters – successfully ambushed the formation just minutes later. Evasive maneuvers, squall weather, and poor fighter cover on the part of the Japanese helped TG 38.3 escape without suffering any significant damage. The only bright spot for the Japanese was another twilight attack by the T Force by 52 aircraft against TG 38.1. Four Jills broke through to attack light cruiser Houston. Three were shot down, but the last succeeded in placing a torpedo in another vulnerable spot that flooded the engineering spaces and caused all power to be lost. As a result, Halsey was left needing to tow two cruisers to safety.

By hook or by crook, General MacArthur bullied FDR into allowing an invasion of the Philippines. To soften up the new targets, strikes were unleashed against Luzon, Formosa and Okinawa. Despite a strong Japanese defense, American air superiority was achieved through aggressive carrier strikes, leading to the destruction of numerous Japanese aircraft and ships.

Neil Wattie from Aberdeenshire runs one of the top herds of Aberdeen-Angus in Britain. Talking us through the beginnings and the initial families in his Tonley herd, it is not hard to see why he and his son Mark are now consistently at the forefront of the breed in UK. We also hear about his ‘day job' as head of a large agricultural machinery dealership and a few ventures into other breeds but is his passion for the Angus characteristics that definitely shine through in this informative chat.

We are delighted to welcome professional gravel racer and ultra runner Heather Jackson back to the show. Our first episode with Heather launched in January 2020. So much has transpired since then, including her retirement from racing triathlon at the professional level and Heather and her husband Wattie becoming parents with the arrival of Stevie pup, who was introduced to the world via Instagram last September. Heather finished off 2022 in a huge way, having raced her final Ironman in Kona at the World Championships, then two weeks later placing 14th female at the Big Sugar 100-mile gravel race, and then one week later took the ultra running scene by storm with her 5th place finish at Javelina Hundred 100-mile after leading the race through mile-60. And most recently, she just crushed the Black Canyon 100k after an iconic battle with heavy hitters like Keely Henniger and Ida Nilsson. She finished 2nd on the day, coming in under the previous course record with a time of 8hrs 47 minutes, and 59 seconds. So much newness and unknown during this conversation, and of course, we dig for her treasures of wisdom which she always shares so generously. Thank you for tuning in!

After months of negotiations and strike action, firefighters have finally won their pay deal. Almost 98 percent of professional firefighter union members have voted to accept settlement of a new collective employment agreement. It includes pay rises of up to 24 percent, backdated to 2021 and blood screening for early detection of occupational cancer and illness. Union national secretary Wattie Watson says Fire and Emergency still needs to regain the trust of members. She says what FENZ does in the next 18 months will be crucial as well.

Fire and Emergency New Zealand (FENZ) and the New Zealand Professional Firefighters Union (NZPFU) agreed on a $145 million dollar settlement today. This gives firefighters a 24 percent wage increase and brings 18 months of negations to a close. NZ Firefighters union secretary Wattie Watson says that they appreciate this wage increase, considering the conditions firefighters across the country have to work under. Wattie also says that these firefighters have been working long hours and dealing with staffing issues, so these strikes were difficult but necessary to send a message. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
There will be some firefighters on deck to dampen flames when union members strike later this month. All members of the Professional Firefighters Union will walk off the job for an hour on August 19, and again the following week. They want improved working conditions, better maintenance of equipment and higher wages. Professional Firefighter Union's Wattie Watson told Heather du Plessis-Allan FENZ has contingency plans in place. “So there'll be very few of the career firefighters to be available. There will be commanders because they're not generally part of our agreement, and of course, there's volunteers.” LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Professional Firefighters Union believes there's a staffing crisis in the sector.They start strike action today, calling for better pay and staffing levels.Strike action is largely behind the scenes and won't affect those responding to fires and other emergencies.Union National Secretary Wattie Watson told Tim Dower volunteers and their employers are being too heavily relied on.She says Fire and Emergency NZ hasn't increased the number of firefighters since the 1990s and don't currently employ enough to cover that level of staffing.LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The New Zealand Professional Firefighters Union has recently voted to go on strike, after Fire and Emergency NZ refused their demands. The union claims their industry is understaffed and underpaid, with working conditions that are unsafe and causing major health issues to workers. FENZ says they're surprised that a group dedicated to saving peoples lives would put those same lives at risk by going on strike. To learn more, Liam spoke to NZPFU national secretary Wattie Watson about their strike and the working conditions that lead them to it.

Helen Mark travels to the rolling hills of Aberdeenshire, home of the Cairngorms National Park. Popular with walkers, hikers, nature-lovers and 'munro-baggers' alike, these hills are undoubtedly a beautiful place to visit. But you can ditch your hiking boots for this episode of Open Country, because Helen's exploring in a different way: from the back of a husky-pulled sled! At the reins is Wattie McDonald, husky-lover, musher, and a veteran of the extraordinary 'Iditarod': the gruelling thousand-mile sled-race across the frozen wastes of Alaska. With his team of sixteen dogs, Wattie navigated treacherous frozen lakes, snow-covered forests, and his own exhaustion to make it across Alaska in one piece: one of very few Scots ever to do so. Back in his home country, the trails are a little shorter and a lot less snowy, but Wattie's up for the challenge nevertheless. As long as his dogs are happy, so is he. But the real stars of the show are the dogs themselves: Siberian Huskies - a whole kennel-full of them. Krash, Krazy, sweet uncle Kaspar, the veteran one-eyed Keely, and the Pandemic Pups, Kovid and Korona. They're a cuddly bunch, always up for a head-scratch or a tummy-rub, but more than anything these working dogs simply love to run. With their help, Helen speeds through the landscape. Here's hoping the brakes work! Produced by Emily Knight

Heather and I do a race debrief followed by a deep dive into all things tri-training, racing, motivation, gear, and fashion. Heather and I also talk about where her journey into triathlon began, how she keeps things fresh and exciting with her training and racing, how she builds strength on the bike, her love of Gravel cycling and how she spends her off season. Heather also shares how she met her husband and business partner, Sean Watkins a.k.a. “Wattie,” and how much fun she had this summer racing with family.

Our love affair with the toasted sandwich seemingly knows no bounds. But not all toasted sadwiches are created equal. A revolution in the art of toasted sandwich making has seen many Kiwis up their games in recent years -- moving on from the classic cheese and pineapple or the bog-standard Wattie's Spaghetti toastie to more adventurous combinations. (The winning entry in this year's Great NZ Toastie Takeover competition was slow roasted pork belly, provolone, chimichurri, American mustard, pickles and apple chilli gel slathered between toasted sourdough...) Vanessa Baxter is back with us to pay homage to the toastie and discuss classic and non-classic filling options and different ways to cook them.

Vanessa Baxter is back with us to pay homage to the toastie and discuss classic and non-classic filling options and different ways to cook them.

You'll hear: 08:17 Start of the interview, how they met and how they formed their training bubble when Covid hit 15:00 some of the fond memories of their camping adventures during 2020. 16:50 About van jealousy and who has the better van 18:20 Heather recognises she is in the later stages of her triathlon career and 2020 helped her to think more about how she can transition beyond triathlon 21:15 We talk about the idea of being all-in. Paula says 'I'd probably be a better athlete if I was all in. But I do enjoy having other things" 30:00 Paula talk about her win at Daytona. "I've questioned a lot if I could get back to the top level, and that proved I could" 35:00 How they find that fine balance between friendship and competitors at races 35:32 Paula says she would love to go to Kona as a training partner for Heather this year to learn from it. "I do have an ambition to do Kona and naturally I think it's a good progression.

Ideal Para Llevarte O Regalar Productos Del Podcats De Ivoox. (Por Tiempo Limitado) https://teespring.com/es/stores/biblioteca-del-metal-1 No es fácil catalogar la actitud y estilo de Hallows Eve (Atlanta, Georgia), una banda poco conocida (excepto por los que estuvieron o están interesados en las raíces de esta historia), y que muy posiblemente actuó como simiente de muchas otras. Englobados en el Thrash Metal, su música está salpicada de motivos Hardcore. Esta forma de decirlo no es más que un simple recurso para salir del difícil atolladero, pues sin la escucha del material, no proporciona una mediana idea de lo que aquí vamos a encontrarnos, algo bastante personal. Después de servirnos el certero “Tales of Terror” (1985), su primer LP, y con éxito en el mundillo de los más acérrimos, el cuarteto de Atlanta lanzaba “Death & Insanity”. Fue grabado y mezclado en su ciudad (JBS), producido por la propia banda y Brian Slagel, contando con Donal Jones como ingeniero. Un trabajo que les dio el empujón definitivo hasta llegar a su obra más difundida, el gran “Monument” (1988), cumbre a la que llegaron mucho más pulidos en el aspecto compositivo, instrumental y sonoro. Tras su tercer LP, desaparecieron del mapa por una buena temporada, dejando como legado una trilogía bastante interesante e intachable. En cuanto al ambiente general de “Death & Insanity”, Hallows Eve nos ofrece un puntazo siniestro, oscuro, un sonido tenebroso salido de las catacumbas, o de la propia “CITY MORGUE” que aparece en esta portada de 1986 (diseñada por el propio grupo con la colaboración de Gerald McLaughlin). En ella se nos muestra al “encargado del local”, portando una curiosa indumentaria aderezada por un sombrero de copa, bastón en la mano derecha y una rata muerta en la izquierda, todo ello exponiendo su risa macabra. El título del trabajo, es lo suficientemente descriptivo para hacerse una idea de la temática general... olor a muerte por todas partes, como espina dorsal del disco. Personalmente, siempre me parecieron un ejemplo de proto-Death, en cuanto al tema macabro se refiere, por ese toque de terror implícito, como de película, que arrastraban desde sus inicios (punto de “horror” que el fugaz proyecto denominado “Exorcist” pudo llevar a la máxima expresión, a la representación perfecta, con su obra “Nightmare Theatre” (1985), y que difícilmente será superado en cuanto a originalidad y concepto) La aventura musical comienza con “Death and Insanity”, con una cabalgada de guitarras en forma de riff asesino y machacón, para pasar inmediatamente y antes de ninguna estrofa, a plantear el estribillo: “Death and insanity, a flicker in the flame, death and insanity are you truly sane?”. La voz de Stacy Andersen acentúa a conciencia ciertas sílabas y no deja lugar a dudas, esto no es Metallica, Exodus o Slayer, aquí hay un vocalista (bastante versátil) que va por otros derroteros y precisamente esa es una de las diferencias que les hace únicos, a pesar de haberse “codeado” con estos grandes durante esa época... (sobre todo en la habitación de cualquier aficionado, ya que el cuarteto que nos ocupa nunca pudo saborear las mieles del éxito al nivel de los citados). El pulso se mantiene durante todo el tema, repitiendo el título de forma constante, y el brevísimo solo de guitarra, a cargo de David Stuart, muestra su influencia neo clásica, sin llegar en ningún momento del trabajo a disparar en onda Shred (por suerte, y porque el nivel de Stuart, aunque marcaba esa dirección, todavía no alcanzaba los parámetros suficientes de técnica o desarrollo de ideas). Continúan el tema hasta desaparecer mediante un fade out, de forma instrumental, con el riff que introdujo al tema y que da soporte al estribillo. Curiosa forma de comenzar un disco, dando sensación de obra conceptual. “Goblet of Gore” muestra una faceta completamente distinta, una pista plagada de cambios de ritmo. Mediante un desarrollo instrumental a golpe de medio tiempo, con unos marcados acentos de batería, un chorro de notas desbocadas (lanzadas por Stuart) desembocan en un nuevo riff, que encaja una melodía de corte tenso. De pronto, los amigos comienzan a exponer su Speed. Una voz más comedida, que va creciendo en mala leche, se propaga por las estrofas hasta llegar a una parte casi punk y prácticamente recitada (con voz cargada),todo sumado a unos interesantes contratiempos con mordentes, marcados en la caja. La parte, como mínimo, es bastante original. En el momento 2:27 cambian de tercio, riff asesino (otra vez), con esa aparente suciedad de la que hacen gala Hallows Eve en este trabajo. Los cambios se suceden sin parar, incluso hay un fragmento muy certero donde se oyen voces al unísono, en plan potente. “Posiblemente”, pertenezcan al “elenco” que en los créditos aparece denominado como “The People” on Goblet Of Gore”, nueve personas encabezadas por Stacy Andersen, incluyendo al bajista tommy Stewart y al guitarrista de la banda, terminando la lista con el propio Brian Slagel. Un cambio muy rápido, que recuerda vagamente a los Slayer de “Show no Mercy”, da paso al riff que soporta el solo de guitarra. Salvo un cambio instrumental de carga melódica, el resto del tema se desarrolla con estructuras ya mostradas en el mismo. El final es bastante atípico, pues llega a dar la sensación de que esto no se va a terminar nunca. “Lethal Thendencies” es, a ciencia cierta, la canción más conocida de este trabajo (junto con D.I.E.). Ritmo machacón, subdividido a corcheas y acentuando la tercera de cada tres... tun tun Chan- tun tun Chan- tun tun Chan – tun tun Chan – tun tun Chaan... imposible dejar de menear el pie o la cabeza. La voz no deja lugar a dudas, el cantante comienza a mostrarnos su faceta más bestia, llegando a “sugerir” la onda Growl, dejando las melodías para otro momento. La cosa cambia un poco en el estribillo, donde es ciertamente más relajada, recitada y melódica. El tema no da lugar a respiro, apoyando el ritmo machacón con dobles bombos y redobles. El solo está dibujado sobre otro tipo de base, más subdividida, creando sensación de rapidez (pero la claqueta no ha variado, ni lo hace en el resto de cambios del track). Un giro thrasher (con voz muy potente, rugiente y contenida), se desmarca de la onda general del tema, que a partir de aquí transcurre sin sorpresas hasta finalizar, con ese potente feel desarrollado por la banda en el que se está considerado uno de sus himnos. “Obituary” es una pieza de guitarra clásica, una pequeña obra en manos de David Stuart que navega por diferentes tonalidades, con un bonito final de armónicos. Es una nota realmente positiva y sorprendente en este trabajo, y aunque goza de título propio (descriptivo a más no poder, en la línea de la banda), parece actuar como introducción del siguiente corte. “Plea of the Aged” comienza con golpes en los timbales. Durante una parte instrumental bastante sobria, el baterista Tym Helton se erige en protagonista mediante un groove seguro, en su sitio, ornamentado con redobles. Un cambio rápido con diversos estados de ánimo, precede a la estrofa, donde la voz se desenvuelve a gran velocidad, tipo trabalenguas. El machacón estribillo declara lo siguiente: “Remember me, hear my plea, time's drawing nigh for me to die...”. Nada nuevo bajo el sol, más muerte en cada surco. Los redobles de timbal base acrecientan la tensión de ultratumba de lo que parece una declaración antes de dejar este mundo. Partes rápidas se desarrollan a partir de aquí, sumadas a un solo de guitarra que termina en un pequeño y exquisito detalle de melodías dobladas. Estribillo y un nuevo cambio a toda pastilla, donde el vocalista tiene tiempo de labrar sus últimas “plegarias”. “Suicide”. Al oír este número compuesto por el bajista Tommy Stewart, alguien podría pensar que estamos frente a un tema de “Stormtroopers of Death”, “Nuclear Assault” (debutantes ese año con “Game Over”) o algo parecido. Pero simplemente se trata del corte más rápido de este trabajo. La onda hardcoreta hace omnipresencia y las velocidades que rozan lo vertiginoso (para esa época y estilo), ciertamente comparables a las que Slayer imprimieron en “Necrophobic”, son absolutamente protagonistas (velocidad, no hablamos de técnica ni estilo, mucho menos de calidad compositiva). Voy a intentar definirlo, porque me parece interesante que les dé tiempo a tantas cosas en lo poco que dura el track: Entra una guitarra con riff acelerado y punkarra, con marcas acompañadas por cortes asesinos. El bajo, sobre la tercera cuerda al aire, parece una motosierra, cubriendo a las guitarras y arropando a la batería, en un efecto muy logrado para este tipo de tema. No, no canta Wattie de “The Exploited”, es el amigo Stacy. Después de la parrafada entrecortada de la estrofa (por llamarle algo), entra el estribillo, también muy marcado, donde la batería añade plato de acompañamiento, en una variante simple pero efectiva. Repiten la jugada, y lanzan una estrofa más, para desembocar en el estribillo (instrumental, power chords a pelo). Tras un breve berrido se da paso al fugaz solo de guitarra, que en los escasos 7 segundos que dura, consigue captar una buena toma por parte de Stuart. El guitarrista no ha perdido el tiempo. Estribillo, estrofa y estribillo, y se acabo. 1:17. Si, ya sé que hay “temas” de 3 segundos, y de 34, pero esto tampoco está mal... y además cumple una estructura. Ojo, en el Cd original lanzado por Metal Blade en 1994, viene conectada con el siguiente tema, formando una sola pista (es un fallo en la edición, claramente), con la duración total de 8:20. Las siglas “D.I.E” (título del siguiente track) sintetizan la frase “Death in Effect”, cuya letra viene más o menos a intentar transmitir que debemos ser dueños de nuestros actos, y no dejarnos manipular. Una introducción de corte misterioso (dos simples notas con un bajo semidistorsionado), da paso al riff, que todavía adquiere una variante (fácil, desde luego, no lo hacían). Guitarra que se clava en la carne como una garra. El cuarteto comienza a cabalgar, Heavy/Thrash ochentero, con una forma de recitar muy limpia y potente. El estribillo, cargado de coros, es efectivo, pegadizo. Un cambio donde la batería suena contundente y con gran sonido de caja, genera unos ambientes hostiles, de oscuridad, para dar paso al solo de guitarra. Se adivinan ecos de los hachas de Slayer en la jugada, a lo “Crypts of Eternity” (en cierta medida), demostrando la versatilidad y “ojo clínico” de David Stuart, un músico más que competente realizando sus labores (a pesar de no ser ninguna eminencia). Tras un cambio instrumental simple y refrescante (muy logrado), retoman el riff de entrada para continuar su masacre, hasta la frase final, donde el tema muere de forma cortante. Otro de los himnos de Hallows Eve. “Attack of the Iguana” es un tema instrumental, introducido por un riff cargado de notas, cuya idea se va más o menos repitiendo, con variantes. Llegado el momento, entra la misma parte pero con la batería doblando los golpes, en machacada Speed/Thrash. Un cambio en medio tiempo, con buenos juegos y apoyos de batería, nos lleva a desembocar en frases frigias de Stuart, para terminar el tema en un acorde final, más digno de AC/CD que de una banda Thrash. “Nefarious” comienza como tema a medio tiempo, pasando a doblarse el tempo en la estrofa. “Torture, waiting to die, torment, you scream and you cry, evil, in my eyes, death... in the black of the night”. Así se las gasta el amigo Stacy en el estribillo, en el tema del disco donde la voz abarca más registros. A partir de aquí, cambios cañeros, con una parte curiosa, donde hay un alarido que se nos muestra cuatro veces, replicado en cada una de ellas por los fraseos de la guitarra. Excepto la última, que espera al límite para introducir el solo. Y más voz desgañitada, sin que la velocidad y fuerza disminuyan un solo ápice. De 3:14 a 3:18, un mini puente, una pequeña “joyita”, por parte de la banda, especialmente aderezada por el gruñido de bajas frecuencias que se nos muestra y que bien puede pasar desapercibido en una escucha aleatoria. Continúa con la repetición de algunas estructuras y así hasta terminar el corte, no sin antes incluir otro solo de guitarra. Destacar las voces que Stacy se hace a sí mismo, como contestación en los estribillos, a modo de delay, salvajes. Y el final sorpresivo del tema. “Nobody Lives Forever”. Aunque la referencia a la vida está contenida en este título, no es sino para indicar que precisamente, todos vamos a morir. (Hecho indispensable en el trabajo que nos ocupa). Comienzan con un patrón 3-3-2, repetitivo, acentuado esta vez esta vez sobre la primera de cada una de ellas. Tal vez, algo en la nostálgica armonía, en las melodías, hacen presagiar que se acerca el final. El tema se desarrolla a ritmo cañero, velocidad constante, y Stacy Andersen vuelve a ofrecernos una faceta bastante desenfadada, como si estuviese hablando a voces, casi sin respiro. Un puente que contiene coros muy marcados al principio de cada verso da paso al estribillo. La voz, registro grave, casi hablado, nos dice que nadie vive para siempre, que es imposible durar demasiado. Algo muy lógico pero que no está mal tener presente (aunque sea para disfrutar al máximo). Tras el segundo estribillo, un riff de trazas veloces introduce diferentes partes en líneas similares, hasta desembocar en el último estribillo, con un par de gritos cortantes del vocalista sobre la última palabra de la frase (long) y lo que parece un “no” añadido. Uno de los mejores números de este disco, sin duda, colocado en lugar estratégico y firmado de nuevo por el bajista Tommy Stewart. Y con “Death and Insanity (Reprise)”, se cierra esta aventura, que sin pretender presentarse como conceptual, puede conseguirlo completamente. El tema aparece mediante un “Fade In”, con toda la banda en juego esta vez, presentando una reducción del corte inicial, con los fugaces coros en plan más salvaje y desbocado. A su vez, se añade una melodía de guitarra casi al final y algunos chillidos con la palanca, posiblemente emulando a las voces del más allá (en un efecto muy logrado), y “muriendo” con el correspondiente “Fade Out”. Hallows Eve no inventaron nada. Pero es innegable que mediante su propuesta aportaron un interesante color a la escena, ayudando a abrir la mente de fans y músicos, y unificando de alguna manera aspectos de diferentes estilos. Son otro de los grupos que me hicieron (y hacen) disfrutar, y que en 2005 lanzó un nuevo trabajo, continuando su estela con reediciones y más material nuevo. Mi valoración para “Death & Insanity”: 4 cuernos. Este pedazo de disco no se merece menos ni en broma

Heather Jackson is a born and bred badass. A native New Englander, she credits her hard work ethic to her upbringing and the strong role models in her family. Between her 90-year old grandpa, who is not uncommonly found fixing someone's roof, to her creative disruptor husband Wattie, Heather is lifted up by her beloved family and community. She has a contagious energy of gratitude and joy that she brings to the highest level of professional triathlon. She is the example of finding what you love and putting your whole heart into it. Of course, this doesn't mean that times have always been easy or so grand. Heather, with Wattie by her side, has mastered one step of life after the next by maintaining awareness around growth. She has taken risks and found that love is the greatest tool for navigating the unknown. This episode gives us insight into the truth behind the woman that we so often see up-high on the podium. Thank you, Heather, and thank you YogiTriathlete community, we are in deep thanks for your support. Namaste - Jess

Mission encre noire Tome 24 Chapitre 298. Adolphus de Hervé Gagnon paru en 2018 aux éditions Libre Expression collection Expression Noire. - Seigneur tout puissant, aie pitié de mon âme! s'exclame Adolphus Dewey, alors qu'il refuse la cagoule offerte par le bourreau sur le gibet dressé sur la galerie de la prison. Une fois l'office accompli, un individu s'approche et repart avec un objet enveloppé dans une vieille chemise. Soixante ans plus tard, début octobre 1893, Joseph Laflamme, George McCreary et leurs promises, Emma et Mary s'apprêtent à visiter le cirque Sarazini au «Parc Sohmer Park». À dix cents par tête, les deux couples vont vivre une soirée i.n.o.u.b.l.i.a.b.l.e. Deux personnes sont assassinées près du chapiteau. Bizarrement, la hache utilisée par le montréalais Adolphus Dewey pour commettre son forfait qui était exposée dans le cabinet de curiosités, a disparu. Le journaliste vedette de La Patrie enquête ! Une nouvelle fois, Hervé Gagnon nous invite à découvrir un univers montréalais inédit, un bien étrange cirque. L'auteur est notre invité, ce soir, pour nous rafraîchir la mémoire à propos de sa, désormais, cultissime série de Joseph Laflamme. Extrait: «Un éclat de rire jovial monta tandis que le magicien se renfrognait, mécontent. Ils se retournèrent et trouvèrent, dans le kiosque d'en face, un homme et une femme d'une obésité colossale. Leur corps donnait l'impression d'être constitué de vagues successives de graisse qui débordaient de leurs vêtements, aussi grands que des tentes, et se déployaient de tous les côtés. Dans les robustes fauteuils en rondins qui semblaient peiner à les soutenir, ils avaient exactement la même posture, leurs mains potelées reposant sur un ventre immense, les cuisses grosses comme des troncs d'arbres écartées pour permettre à leur panse de se loger au milieu. Leurs visages cerclés de multiples mentons n.étaient que des masses de lard dans lesquels s'enfonçaient des petits yeux pétillants. Comble de malchance, la femme était affligée d'une pilosité faciale que bien des hommes auraient enviée. Fier de sa boutade, le gros homme riait, ce qui le faisait frémir tout entier dans son fauteuil qui grinçait dangereusement. Nul doute qu'il lançait la même à tous les visiteurs pour attirer leur attention. Du coin de l'oeil, Joseph consulta l'écriteau qui était apposé sur le kiosque: «Pierre et Pierrette Jetté, le Couple le plus gros du monde. 712 et 622 lb! Pierrette est aussi barbue.» Janvier noir de Alan Parks traduit par Olivier Deparis paru en 2018 aux éditions Rivages. Glasgow, 1973, devant la gare routière, un jeune garçon ouvre le feu sur une jeune femme avant de retourner l'arme contre lui. La ville s'apprête à vivre l'une de ses semaine les plus noires de son histoire. L'inspecteur McCoy est au première loge. Un détenu, Howie Nairn, l'a convoqué pour lui annoncé, la veille, le sombre destin qui se préparait pour la victime. Accompagné de son jeune adjoint, Wattie, il ne pourra empêcher ce premier meurtre d'être commis. Au milieu de l'hiver rude écossais, McCoy enquête. Alan Parks initie un nouveau cycle d'une douzaine de romans, à venir, avec Janvier noir. McCoy est un dur à cuir, il se sent chez lui aussi bien dans les bas fonds de la ville que dans les quartiers plus huppés. Boucler cette affaire ne sera pas pour autant de tout repos, certains endroits lui collent de trop près à la peau. Âpre et réaliste, ce premier épisode va ravir ceux et celles qui raffolent des décors d'époque, les rues en pente, l'architecture sinistre, David Bowie, Rod Stewart et les origines ouvrières des vrais lads écossais. Obstiné et déterminé, à l'image de son héros abîmé, ce premier roman noir a tout pour convaincre. Extrait: «La voiture tourna sèchement à droite au grand abattoir et s'enfonça dans Dalmarnock. Glasgow était une ville faite de villages, de territoires délimités par les gangs qui se disputaient telle ou telle rue. McCoy n'avait le souvenir d'aucune revendication concernant Dalmarnock. Personne n'en voulait. Il s'arrêtèrent devant un immeuble abandonné sur un terrain vague envahi par la boue, les flaques et les gravats. Les entrées et les fenêtres du premier étage avaient été condamnées à l'aide de planches par la municipalité, des panneaux DÉFENSE D'ENTRER - DANGER tout juste visibles sous le nom des gangs peint à la bombe. Ces panneaux n'avaient pas été d'une grande utilité. La moitié des planches avaient été enfoncées ou arrachées, certaines, brisées, baignaient dans la boue. - C'est des gamins qui l'ont trouvée, dit Murray en frottant sa vitre pour la désembuer et regarder à l'extérieur. Ils jouaient à cache-cache là dedans. On ne peut pas leur en vouloir, ils n'ont pas beaucoup d'autres distractions par ici.» Tuer jupiter de François Médéline paru en 2018 aux éditions de La manufacture de livres. Emmanuel Macron est mort ! Ses obsèques nationales se déroule le 02 décembre 2018. Il rejoint le Panthéon devant les caméras du monde entier. Brigitte Macron porte des lunettes conçu par un grand lunetier parisien sur le modèle de celles de Jacky Kennedy. Mozart est joué par un choeur berlinois. Les chefs d'États de la planète entière se manifestent. Gérard Collomb, ministre de l'intérieur, prépare son éloge funéraire. François Médéline a passé dix ans au service de parlementaires socialistes, il a fréquenté, au plus près les coulisses du pouvoir. Il vous propose de remonter le temps de cet assassinat. Si complot il y a, le fil du récit nous transporte de la Maison blanche, à Moscou, à Jérusalem et sous les arcanes de l'Élysée. Tout cela est-il plausible vous demandez-vous ? Le texte, forcément audacieux, est spectaculaire et plus vrai que nature. Amateur de James Ellroy, l'auteur, rend hommage à l'illustre écrivain. La vraie ironie perverse du récit dystopique est de surfer sur un passé fictionnel qui repose, en parti, sur des faits avérés de notre réalité actuelle. Et c'est ce qui est effrayant et délirant. Extrait: «Élodie sutura la bouche du président de la République. Élodie caressa sa lèvre supérieure. Elle fit pivoter son siège surélevé, scruta le portrait mesurait cinquante centimètres par soixante-dix. Il était encadré, suspendu à la vis cruciforme sur laquelle Élodie accrochait tous ses morts. Emmanuel Macron était assis sur son bureau devant la fenêtre. La fenêtre donnait sur le jardin du palais de l'Élysée. Emmanuel Macron était assis et en même temps il était debout. Avec ses deux alliances, ses deux téléphones. Avec les deux poches latérales de sa veste de costume. Avec les Nourritures terrestres et Les Mémoires de guerre. Avec Le Rouge et avec Le Noir. Avec l'histoire qu'Élodie devait raconter. Avec cet homme-là qui était son modèle. La consigne lui avait été donnée par le cabinet du président défunt à l'Élysée. Toutes les familles donnaient des consignes. Emmanuel Macron possédait une armée de sbires. Ses sbires les plus proches étaient directifs. Le cabinet de l'Élysée avait étudié la cryogénisation et s'était renseigné sur les embaumeurs de Lénine. La cryogénisation sonnait trop Star Trek. Les embaumeurs du petit Vladimir Illitch étaient les meilleurs du monde, Lénine rajeunissait plus de quatre-vingt-dix ans après sa mort.»

Hailing from Nashville, Tennessee, Wattie Green went from unknown to one of the most recognized names in House Music, virtually overnight. DJ’ing since ‘99 and only producing since 2004, the spelunking, multi-instrument playing (banjo, guitar, upright bass, etc.), swing house producing phenom burst on the scene with a sound so fresh, it took the global house community by storm! It all started online during a timely chance encounter with J. Caprice of High Maintenance who along with producing partner 4peace where just about to launch their Dallas based label, Juiced Music. They were so impressed with his sound they signed his first 9 tracks and the rest is house history. Shortly thereafter, one of Wattie’s tracks (Sea Lion Woman) caught the ear of Flapjack’s label boss Frankie J who subsigned the track from Juiced to put out on vinyl for Flapjack. This lead to an EP deal with Flapjack and went on to become his first official release entitled the “Bashville, TN. EP”. Since, Wattie has released two full EP’s on Juiced and a remix for Flapjack with upcoming releases due out on Serial Sickness and Knocturnal Emissions and more coming from both Juiced and Flapjack! Wattie’s tracks continually top the charts of stores such as Stompy and Traxsource and he has gone on to virtually redefine the swing house sound with his sophisticated nuskool jackin’ feel. The sky is the limit for this amazingly gifted producer!

Chris Wattie joins the program to discuss his book Contact Charlie. In the summer of 2006, a Canadian army patrol travelling through Afghanistan''s Panjwayi region-a densely packed maze of villages, fields and vineyards west of Kandahar-surprised an unexpectedly large force of Taliban fighters. The soldiers of the Princess Patricia''s Canadian Light Infantry had stumbled into a hornet''s nest, the largest buildup of Taliban forces in the region since their regime had fallen in 2001. The Canadians found themselves up against opponents who were suicidally brave, cunning at planting mines and roadside bombs, and experienced at disappearing into the scenery whenever they chose. As their commanders threw more and more soldiers into what became a gruelling, drawn-out struggle, the troops of the battalion''s Charlie Company found themselves at the forefront of every firefight and ambush in what became a desperate, two-month pitched battle...
