![]() ![]() The lyrics comprehensively tackle footy issues from boozing footballers to hooliganism, but there’s particular currency in Smith’s uncanny predictions of how gentrification will ruin the beautiful game. ![]() ![]() I would have picked this anyway, because of the World Cup, but Smith’s brilliant 1983 dissection of football and how it is run seems ever more prescient with every fresh Fifa scandal. The Fall-mad journalist Paul Morley once fretted that Smith might not be a genius after all: “What if he was just an old drunken tramp that when he got really drunk started to spout phrases that made a kind of sense, and we read too much into it, you know?” At which point you can almost hear the chorus of Fall fans shouting back, “But what about Kicker Conspiracy?” ![]() Fifteen years before most of us would even hear of the internet, Smith seems to fortell how social media will imprison the demoralised worker: “Became a recluse / And bought a computer … On the screen /Saw the Holy Ghost, I swear / On the screen / Where’s the cursor?” There are many – including Smith’s first wife, Brix – who believe the Fall frontman has the psychic powers of a seer or prophet, and they certainly seem in evidence here. The song has outlived the 80s Bran Flakes advertising slogan from which the title hails, but Smith typically seized on a contemporary absurdity to build a compelling narrative, this time about social class and consumerism. The relentless rhythm conjured up by the so-called “Jesuit lads” (guitarist Craig Scanlon, bassist Steve Hanley and twin drummers Paul Hanley and Karl Burns) reputedly caused superfan John Peel to faint when he first heard it. This logic can be audibly heard in this killer opener from Perverted By Language, recorded five years later. “Repetition in the music and we’re never gonna lose it,” Smith sang on the 1978 B-side Repetition in what amounted to – and remains – a manifesto. ‘Riot in righteousness’: Mark E Smith dies aged 60 – video obituary 2. This could be because it launched early, our rights have expired, there was a legal issue, or for another reason. “Net cap of 58 thousand pounds / Sweat on their way down / Grey ports with customs bastards / Hang around like clowns / The uh-containers and their drivers / Bad indigestion / Bad bowel retention / Speed for their wages / Suntan, torn short sleeves …” By the time the song literally crashes to a halt, The Container Drivers establishes that the Fall are a force to be reckoned with and Smith is a voice to be listened to, however uncomfortable that will occasionally be. Almost certainly drawing on his very brief pre-Fall stint as a docker’s clerk, he skewers the trucking existence with withering relish. Over the years, Mark E Smith’s words have taken on many forms, from intricate, otherwordly science-fiction short stories to barmy one-liners, but this is a brilliant early example of his withering observational style. It’s rockabilly, but far removed from the American original and born of northern pubs, cheap speed and Salfordian back streets. Hurtling along like a HGV on rocket fuel, the band sound like they are playing for their lives (and with Smith’s disciplinarian reputation, maybe they were), but with an audible glee, as they explore what was then a new and refreshing form of music. An early example of the Fall’s early “northern rockabilly”, The Container Drivers has fascinated me since I first heard it as a schoolboy (and managed to miss them playing it as their opening song at Leeds University soon after because I’d been disoriented by my first ever pint of Tetley’s bitter). ![]()

In fact both use the same filters as well and they are calling it the EasyList(created by Adblock Plus). Once again, both AdBlock for Chrome and Adblock Plus for Chrome offers similar features as far as basic features (malware protection, shows number of ads blocked, blacklisting, whitelisting) and options (acceptable ads, right-click menu) are concerned. However, AdBlock has almost 2x more ratings than Adblock Plus on Chrome Web Store, so I guess it’s safe to assume that it’s the most popular ad blocker on Google Chrome. and ‘AdBlock’ is available for Google Chrome, Safari, Opera, and iOS.Īdblock Plus is the most popular Firefox add-on with over 21 million users (it’s got the first-mover advantage on Mozilla Firefox) and AdBlock is the most popular Chrome extension (it’s got the first-mover advantage on Google Chrome).īy the way, both AdBlock and Adblock Plus claims that it’s the most popular ad blocker and both have over 40 million users. Now ‘AdBlock Plus’ is also available for Google Chrome, Android, Safari, Opera, Internet Explorer, etc. What’s the difference? Well, it sounds similar but they are two different extensions developed independently.Īpparently, AdBlock was inspired by Adblock Plus itself when it was just a Firefox only add-on.

So, I argued with myself why should I install an adblocker when it doesn’t make any difference. In fact, as I write this blog post, both AdBlock and Adblock Plus have over 50 million users. I was actually not using an adblocker until few months ago as I rarely click ads. It’s no secret that ad blocking extensions like AdBlock, Adblock Plus, and AdBlock Pro are becoming increasingly popular today with over 200 million active users and it’s costing publishers billions of dollars. ![]() ![]() ![]() It's not always the case that you'll need each of the four parts, but it's definitely a good idea to at least consider the need for each to ensure the learning objective is as clear, actionable, and measurable as possible. The Four Parts of an ABCD Learning ObjectiveĪ classic way to think about constructing a learning objective is that it should have four parts. If you don't write good learning objectives before you design, deliver, and evaluate your training, you're the proverbial ship sailing the ocean without a compass. Later evaluate your training to see if it was effective (in so-called "level 3" and "level 4" training evaluations).Let employees know what training will be about and what they will learn (this "primes" them to learn and provides the "what's in it for me?" or WIIFM aspect.Guide you in the creation of your learning content and learning activities, including only the content necessary to help employees learn to perform the skills and using learning activities that in fact DO help employees learn to perform those skills.Guide you in the creation of your learning assessments (the level 2 "tests" at the end of training to see if workers really CAN perform those skills).Once you've identified the learning objective(s) for your training, you'll use them to: And that's so they can then perform those skills on the job. Your learning objectives for training are centered around point 2, above: what skills employees have to be able to perform when the training is done. Job tasks that employees are supposed to learn and be able to perform after the training is over, with the assumption that teaching employees to perform those tasks will help the organization reach that larger goal.A larger goal that your organization is trying to reach-introduction of a new product or process, higher profits, compliance, or something like that.Let's take a brief moment to explain what a learning objective is and why it's worth knowing how to write them well for job training and skill development.īefore you begin designing training, it's important to ask yourself what the purpose of the training is. ![]() If you want to learn more about instructional design concepts, check out my post about the ADDIE model.What Is a Learning Objective & Why You Should Write them Well But, including the condition and degree can help give learners a better idea of what they should be aiming for when completing an activity.

The gothic font generator is an amazing, free of cost tool that can be used in a very simple manner without people having to put in any extra effort to create that spooky, dark look. The gothic font generator is thus the perfect tool and website for people who wish to use this font whether it is for everyday, regular use or for special occasions such as Halloween in October, etc. This font is widely used and loved by people. More often than not they are seen being used as part of logos, music album names, etc. Nowadays, gothic fonts are extremely very popular. Nowadays, when we hear the word gothic, what comes to our mind is a certain kind of dark music, people wearing dark clothes and certain fonts as well that have particular darkness to them. The font, just like the glitch text, is also identified from when it was used for the very first time in the Gutenberg Bible which also happened to be one of the very first few books that were printed within Europe. The gothic font has striking thin and thick strokes which makes this font recognizable. The evolution of the gothic font took place in the middle of the 12th century in Western Europe. Recommended: Creepy Text Generator Evolution of the Gothic Text: The black letter is a term that basically refers to scripts from medieval times. However when we are particularly talking about font or text styles such as gothic fraktur or old English fonts, what we are referring to is the blackletter typeface. When we hear the word gothic, it refers to a number of areas such as art, music, paintings, and much more. This history is important because it tells us a lot about a font.

The compute time discussions do not provide sufficient descriptions of resources to be of any meaning. Does this imply that FarmCPU (upon which BLINK is built) is ineffective? Also, were other genes cloned in maize that control flowering time? What is the possible number of flowering time genes that the 3 "true positives" were drawn from? FOAM found "1003 genes". P8L10-13 I don't understand why BLINK is better than FarmCPU as it detected 9/14 QTNs. P8L4-5 Why does PLINK exhibit "strongly inflated P values"? Is there evidence to support this statement? Please provide a rationale as to why only PLINK was compared. The authors clearly explain that there are newer and more powerful options than PLINK. The authors compare two of their workflows (BLINK and FarmCPU)against PLINK. Please explain the rationale for not using real data when it is clearly available. Why was the real genotype and phenotype data simulated? Why not test on real data and see if you reproduce previous findings? The authors do this a little bit with the maize analysis. Wouldn't it be "better" to amplify with variation? ![]() Why was the human dataset replicated in such a severe manner? Each population group is amplified perfectly up to 10 times to make a bigger dataset. Are these Asian Americans? What is the population structure in a general sense? Which maize datasets was used? Is this the NAM population? If so, it need to be made more clear how this population was constructed. At the very least, a brief description is warranted and not making the reader read another paper for any sense of genetic context. There is no description of the mouse and pig datasets for example. The datasets used for testing are not clearly explained. The article addresses an ongoing scientific problem of great importance. BLINK is built from their previous GWAS implementation called FarmCPU but they replace REML with a BIC algorithm and they include LD information to remove the previous assumption that QTNs are evenly distributed across the genome (which they are not!). Then they provide a new algorithm that address both issues called BLINK. In "BLINK: A Package for Next Level of Genome Wide Association Studies with Both Individuals and Markers in Millions" by Huang et al, the authors provide a detailed background of the evolution of GWAS approaches that improve computation time and statistical power. ![]() |
