Despite living in England, I have been incredibly invested in the Scottish Gender Recognition Reform Bill for the past few months because to me, it represented UK politics moving forward from the time of medical diagnosis of dysphoria, 10 year waiting lists and the like.

I thought that considering that the bill passed in Scotland with a solid majority, and they had taken steps to make it as difficult as possible for the uk to intervene without causing issues, that we were smooth sailing and we were finally seeing some progress on terf island.

I even foolishly allowed myself to believe that the rest if the UK would follow along eventually, and that it marked the beginning of self-reporting your gender without medical intervention - as it is in many other countries.

Section 35 (follow the link below for a better explanation) is part of the Scotland Act 1998 that allows the scottish secretary by power of the UK government to veto any bill within four weeks of its passing if there are reasonable grounds to believe either:

The bill is incompatible with the UK’s international obligations or jeopardises national defence.

The bill has adverse effects on policy areas that are the responsibility of the UK government.

IT HAS NEVER BEEN USED UNTIL TODAY

Parliament is claiming that the scottish bill has “passed the adverse effects test” and has used section 35 to stop it from coming into effect, continuing to place the lives of trans people in danger and furthering tensions surrounding Scottish independence, making claims about “same sex schools” and “sex equality”.

FM Nicola Sturgeon has called it a blatant attack on scottish independence and has promised to fight against this situation. She has also accused the UK government of using trans people as a weapon in the debate of scottish independence, and I am inclined to agree with her.

As angry and disappointed as I am, I wish I could say I was surprised. terf island continues to terf and trans people continue to die as sufferers of violent crime, economic disparity and suicide. Spread love, check in with your friends, fight your battles until we don’t have to anymore.

I love all you trans people in scotland and the uk and the world and I wish you the best <3

= Love Notes =

Hey Lovelies. Been a lot of excitement today, certainly a lot going on! Rhys' birthday week, actual footage of something in Lochness, podcasts, billboards and movies, oh my! I know some of us are struggling a bit with some personal stuff, it's a hard time out there. It hits harder too when you get all this fun dopamine from the internet, then you turn around and look back at normal life and things are tough. Remember to be kind to yourself lovelies. Things aren't always going to go the way you plan or want. It's okay if you can't get out of bed today. It's okay if you scroll on your phone and get your dopamine from goofy ass pictures of celebrities. It's okay if you get up and you brush your teeth, but just can't make your breakfast. Eat something simple. Drink some water, lay down for a while. Little things build to big things. If you can't do laundry today because you don't have the spoons/motivation, then don't do laundry today. Just remember to change your underwear if you have some clean ones cause you don't wanna get a UTI. If all you can do today is exist, you're doing great. You're doing better than great, you're fantastic. Tomorrow you can do a little bit more, or a little less, depending on what you need. Just be kind to yourself and give yourself grace; the world is hard enough as it is, you don't need to beat yourself up for struggling with very real issues. Thank you all for making the past few weeks tolerable, I appreciate that so much. It's keeping my brain chemistry in a spot that's healthier than is used to be. I hope you all know just how wonderful you truly are, and that me and the rest of the crew are rooting for you every day. We're here, we love you <3 Stay well.

October 29, 1923: The first radio broadcast in Germany goes on air

Radio had a rough start in Germany. At the end of World War I, where the German army was among the pioneers in radio communication, during the November Revolution, revolutionary workers occupied the headquarters of the German press and news service, falsely claiming the victory of the communist and socialist revolutionary forces. This made the social democratic government to impose harsh restrictions on radio broadcast, which severely hampered the development of the new medium in Germany:

Only the state had the sovereign right of to set up and operate transmitting and receiving systems

Private individuals were prohibited to receive any radio broadcast

Receivers were limited in their technical characteristics, supported by a requirement for state approval for any new model

This led to the state-controlled postal service becoming a monopolist serving a small number of (mostly public) institutions. Nonetheless, the first entertainment broadcast was distributed at Christmas 1920, when postal employees brought instruments to the broadcast center in Königs Wusterhausen (south of Berlin), played music and recited poems.

After heavy lobbying by radio pioneers such as Hans Bredow, complaints and public discontent and increasing numbers of illegal self-made private receivers, which frequently caused interferences, the harsh restrictions were finally lifted in 1923. Each owner of a state-approved receiver had to register as a "radio participant" and pay a license fee. In autumn of 1923, at the height of the inflation, a license cost 780 billion Mark per year, a sum that only very few were able and willing to afford. Thst's why the first broadcast by Funk-Stunde Berlin from a studio in the Vox House on October 29, 1923 has no (paying) listeners. The first registered participant was Berlin tobacco retailer Wilhelm Kollhoff, who received his license and his radio on October 31.

Rapidly, a number of radio stations opened throughout Germany, which were consolidated under the umbrella organization "Reichs-Rundfunk-Gesellschaft".

Infamously, radio became the main propaganda instrument of the Nazis, who quickly forced all radio stations into line, sending the liberal radio pioneers to the first concentration camps. The development and widespread distribution of a cheap radio receiver, the "Volksempfänger" ("people's receiver"), made radio a medium for the masses. Nonetheless, only 46.9 % of the German households had a radio in 1937, compared with the USA or the UK, which had already a density of 78.3 % and 66.1 %, respectively.

After World War II, radio developed differently in East and West Germany. Radio in East Germany remained state-controlled, sending communist propaganda now. In the West, organizations under public law were founded in the federal states, funded by fees of radio users and controlled by bodies in which the relevant societal groups are equally represented. In the 1980s, private radio stations were allowed.

Because Germany received only very few AM frequencies as part of the sactions after World War II, development of FM radio was accelerated, leading to new standards in the quality of transmission and HiFi stereo radio. Radio established itself as a promoter of culture in the area of literature and music. The stations set up symphonic and dance orchestras, big bands, choirs, and elaborate audioplay studios. They were also pioneering promoters of electronic music. In the recent years, however, the importance of radio as promoters of high culture has diminished more and more. With the exceptions of a few stations, radio is regarded as background entertainment for people who cannot stand silence.

In the future, it is expected that the split between music and entertainment, high culture, and information will will deepen. Radio as a promotor of culture will probably not play a role any more. Taking over podcast productions may revive the role of radio as an opinion-forming medium. Radio is still unrivalled as the fastest medium, being able to provide the latest news virtually in real-time.

Introduction🌿

Hello Community! You can call me Ashi.

(Pronounced as "Aa-Shi")

Hybrid work structure, remotely and on site (3:2 weekdays).

(Not mentioning the name of the firm to maintain the confidentiality of my organization's clients and abide by the ethics of my professional governing bodies)

Academic Journey:

Also, preparing for the CA Final, due in November 2026.

Though currently focused on my academic goals, I have a passion for philosophy and literature, particularly the works of Nietzsche, Kafka, and Marcus Aurelius, as well as Eastern philosophies like Advaita, Taoism, and the Bhagavad Gita. These are my best friends for solitude.

I see myself as a poet and writer at heart, though I rarely write anymore due to my academic and professional commitments.

Whenever I get time, I love to read about human motivation, drive, and desires, essentially human behavior and motivation science.

One can say, I'm inclined towards understanding myself and the world, through the Lense of data and experiment driven studies.

Basic Inclination:

I have a great inclination towards thinking and seeing things from different perspectives. I think and think and think a lot. If I could ask for anything, it would be a room full of books where I can read endlessly, without thinking about the corporate ladder. Thanks to capitalism for making me a finance bro. :D

Future Goals:

Current Pursuits: While my immediate goals include becoming a Chartered Accountant affiliated with two different accounting bodies, ACCA and ICAI, and advancing in the accounting & finance domain, I aspire to explore teaching and educational content creation in the future.

Short-Term Goals: Passing my exams. 😄

Aspiration: Interested in teaching and content creation, mainly educational and philosophical; aspire to pursue these someday. I also hope to engage in social commentary on life, politics, policies, psychology, etc., as a part-time hobby.

Perspective on Goals: I believe that as we move forward in life, our plans evolve with the new data we acquire. I strive to learn everything I can without deeply identifying with any materialistic profession or possession.

Why Studyblr?

Studying remotely, working remotely, and visiting the office twice a week is an isolated journey. I want to ensure I’m seeing my progress visually and can get feedback on my performance. This often builds self-efficacy because learning takes a tangible form.

What You’ll Find Here:

A mix of my raw thoughts, reflections, and study progress.

Daily check-ins on productivity. I often record my study hours and focused office hours where I’m working on some projects together because what I learn at work often helps me in my academic journey.

Insights into my academic journey and personal growth.

Occasional musings on philosophical ideas and life’s reflections.

I don't promote perfect schedules and manufactured productivity as humans are prone to make errors, and imperfection is a part of life.

Philosophy:

Inspired by the concept of Vairagya, I believe in taking actions that satisfy the soul rather than just the senses. Everything comes with a sense of duty and not for personal pursuits, as personal pursuits often gives rise to ego, attachment, and fears.

Connect:

Feel free to join me on this journey. Let’s learn and grow together!

PS: Let’s keep moving on the journey.

A-T-4 147 Cut Ups & Megamixes

No posts for a while because I've not been well (plus I fell down a rabbit hole writing a long read, hopefully that'll be done by the end of the year!)

1984 was a great year for Cut Ups and Megamixes building on the work of pioneer DJs like Shep Pettibone and his radio show on Kiss FM, Chuck Chillout and Red Alert also on Kiss, the Latin Rascals on WKTU, Marley Marl on WBLS's Mr Magic's Rap Attack. Outside New York carving their own path Hot Mix 5 and Steve "Silk" Hurley are killing it on Chicago radio station WBMX. In Florida the crew Jam Pony Express have begun playing live shows

In the UK Sanny-X is DMC's megamixer and Street Sounds Electro series are being mixed by Herbie Laidley, better known as Mastermind Herbie, the man behind The Rapologists

This is post Double Dee & Steinski, Malcom McLaren And The World’s Famous Supreme Team, Art Of Noise, and Herbie Hancock's Rockit. You can clearly hear their influence in the cut ups and mega mixes from this year

Getting mixed is Hip Hop, Electro, Synth Pop, Disco, and Italo

(Orig.) Big Apple Production Vol.II - Genius At Work like many of these bootleg megamixes the people involved stay in the shadows. This one is of course the work of the Latin Rascals doing what they did on their radio show

DJ Chuck Chillout - Hip Hop On Wax Vol. I for Vincent Davis's Vintertainment. Chuck Chillout was in The B Boys who had released the cut up track Cuttin Herbie (literally cutting up Rockit) the year before. They also released two other classics in 1983 imo Rock The House and Two, Three, Break. Chillout would return to Two, Three, Break under the name DJ Born Supreme Allah in 1985 with the more explicit cut up Two, Three, Break (Part II - The Sequel)

DJ Red Alert - Hip Hop On Wax Vol. II Red Alert goes berserk on the follow-up to Chuck Chillout's effort - he even cuts in what sounds like The B Boys. Sorry this is the best Youtube clip I can find. Red Alert is a DJ for the disgraced hip hop architect Afrika Bambaataa's Universal Zulu Nation and in 1983 he joined Kiss FM's Master Mix Party, which was originally Shep Pettibone's spot on Kiss. Tony Humphries was the first to take the ropes from the increasingly busy Pettibone and in 1983 Red Alert would alternate with Humphries

D.ST - Megamix II: Why Is It Fresh? The Grand Mixer who provided the scratching on Herbie Hancock's Rockit. I thought I knew what Megamix II was a sequel of but now I'm not so sure. Anyway D.ST brings together his hits along with half a dozen other Celluloid tracks

Z Rock Records - Scratch Party #2 first of three mixes coming from the West Coast. Z Rock Records released three Scratch Party megamixes in 1984. Who knows who put these together

Ian Darby - Break City 7" edit bonkers record by Bobby Orlando who had been trying his hand at hip hop/electro/Art Of Noise style production. There's a longer 12" version but the 7" is tidier. Not really cut up, certainly not a megamix, but I felt it sat alright on this list because of it's nutball samples

Scratchmatic - Sound Of The Street by DJ Antron who Discogs tells me won the first DJ Battle held in Los Angeles at the famous Radiotron event. It shows a preference for the techno style

New York Scratch Masters - Scratchmasters Jam #1 the Italo the mix begins with is more like what Hot Mix 5 were doing in Chicago but not as good. Jam #1 would be followed by three more in 1984 and the final Jam #5 in 85. Jam # 4 (The Rap) is pretty great

Mix-Trix #3 The Break Mixer the first Mix-Trix 12" was released in 1983 with another three coming in 1984. Apart from it coming out of LA I have no info on these

'Jamie Tartt Makes a Mark' Chapter 8 Excerpt (Roy/Jamie Soulmate Fic)

Just listening to the radio in the car was proof enough that everyone and their mum was talking about them. Radio 1 was playing soundbytes and excerpts from all over the world.

From the Prime Minister wishing them congratulations on their bond to Alex Jones telling his viewers this was all some sort of false flag conspiracy, the world was like RoyJamie FM or something. Jones was violently telling his listeners that Jamie and Roy were paid actors and that ‘European soccer’ was nothing but a homoerotic cabal trying to turn men gay. One of Jones’ callers had even called the curve of Jamie’s arse the gateway to eternal sin. Jamie was gassed to hear that. He had been doing extra squats and everything. He was glad people had noticed, even if they were conspiracy theorist wackjobs who cried while wanking off to his arse.

Jamie had even heard there had been a one-hour special about them on the telly, hosted by that wrinkled old bumhole Piers Morgan. He had interviewed Jamie’s old primary school teacher, his barber and even that dickhead delivery man who kept breaking all his packages. 

And it had been just as bad for Roy.

From Phoebe’s confused-looking teachers to the guy who had once washed Roy’s windows, that prick Morgan was talking to anyone who had even breathed in their direction.

Jamie had a feeling that they had probably tried to track down his ex hook-ups but that was a full time job by itself. They would have had to talk to half the UK population, including themselves (and probably their parents, too).

Good morning!  I hope you slept well and feel rested?  Currently sitting at my desk, in my study, attired only in my blue towelling robe, enjoying my first cuppa of the day.  Happy Hump Day!

Yesterday at college was brilliant!  Really enjoyable classes and the building is full of very cool people.  My beautiful friend Tia De Gannes-McGregor says that my status reminds her of ‘Run’s House’.  Remember Rev. Run sitting in the bath writing messages to his flock?  Man, we loved that show! 

And my beautiful friend Michelle Motley asked if she could have a selfie with me.  She says her family used to listen to Kiss FM and were a bit shocked when she said she was working with Lindsay Wesker.  Michelle asked, “Do you do selfies?”  I showed her all the pics on my phone.  I said to her, “I am The Selfie King!”  We talked about photos and I told her that my mum took thousands of photos when we were growing up, and she’s hung emotional collages all over the house in Hove.  Beautiful memories of special people.  This is why I take selfies. 

I’ll be working from home today but my plan is to find time for a walk.  As we know, April has not been warm but I need to get out there and work those glutes!  This evening, we have dinner with some of our favourite people.  We haven’t had dinner with them for years (literally, years), so we are really looking forward to breaking bread with them!  I shall try not to eat too much but I can’t make any promises.  One of our party will NOT want a selfie but, if you don’t ask, you don’t get!

It was definitely sad to hear about two black music industry deaths in the past few days.  MC Duke (younger brother of one of my besties) was one of the first UK hip hop artists and signed to my cousin Simon Harris’s excellent Music Of Life label.  He paved the way for many.   Also sad to lose top DJ, Roger Johnson, the first DMC World Mixing Champion (1985).  Geezer had skills! 

Have a wonderful and well-endowed Wednesday.  I love you all.  Yes, a crazy, bald man loves and cares about you.

BOEING: F-15EX fighters for Poland

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 09/07/2023 - 12:10 in Military

Boeing is presenting the F-15EX fighter to Poland as a potential U.S. Department of Defense's potential foreign military sales (FMS) program.

The announcement was made at the MSPO International Defense Industry Annual Exhibition, where Boeing highlights advanced defense systems, capabilities and services.

“Poland's interest in the F-15EX confirms its dedication to the preparation and effectiveness of its military forces,” said Tim Flood, senior director of Global Business Development for Europe and the Americas. “The F-15EX offers superior interoperability, support and accessibility, along with a robust industrial plan that would support Poland's goal of developing independent defense capabilities.”

Boeing has made significant investments in the F-15EX, making it the most capable multifunctional fighter in production today. The aircraft offers greater survival capacity and capacity with:

fly-by-wire flight controls,

a new electronic warfare system,

a FULL GLASS digital cockpit,

the latest mission systems and software capabilities,

as well as the ability to carry advanced hypersonic weapons.

“The F-15EX is the most advanced fighter in the world, with unparalleled capacity, lethality and survivability and is the right choice to strengthen Poland's safety needs,” said Rob Novotny, director of Business Development of Boeing's F-15 program. “Through improved interoperability with U.S. and NATO forces, technological growth capacity and an economic operational life of more than 20,000 hours, Poland can expect the F-15EX to win in existing and future threat environments.”

The F-15EX is in production with two aircraft delivered to the U.S. Air Force. Indonesia recently became the 8º country to select the F-15 and will become the first export customer of the last EX variant when the sale is finalized.

Boeing has been present in Poland for more than 30 years. Based in Warsaw, Boeing Digital Solutions & Analytics operations in Gda? sk and parts and distribution services in Rzeszow, Boeing employs more than 1,000 people in Poland and is currently establishing a strong engineering capacity in all three locations. In addition to its growing presence in the country, Boeing is an important partner of the Polish aviation industry and has strong relations with local communities, industry, airlines, the Polish government and the Polish Armed Forces.
