IDIOTEQ is a one-man DIY operation, tirelessly spotlighting the local cultural scenes and independent bands that often go unreported elsewhere.

Organized in Parma by Colletivo La Defense, Fresh Outbreak Records, and Splinter Club, the festival marks the launch of Noverte’s winter tour across Italy-a journey destined to reverberate far beyond their originating garage. Their inaugural live performance post-album release is scheduled for September 30th at Alle Foglie. Now in its third edition, the festival is breathing life back into a genre momentarily suspended by the pandemic’s wrath. ![]() The band is slated to perform at Alle Foglie, an Italian festival that has become a reference point for the national screamo scene. Each contributes their thread and making it a global endeavor.īut Noverte isn’t just an export they’re actively enriching their home soil as well. Their debut album is a patchwork of international support-produced by 12 different labels from Europe and Canada: No Funeral (Canada), Dischi Decenti (Italy), Dingleberry Records and Distributions (Germany), troppistruzzi (Italy), Nontiseguo (Italy), Boslevan Records (United Kingdom), 1a0 (Italy), Fresh Outbreak (Italy), Flames Don’t Judge (Italy), Salto Mortale Music (Slovakia), Entes Anomicos (Germany), Remorse Records (France). One of the intriguing facets of Noverte’s journey is their multinational web of collaborators. Each track acts as a tale of “pure realistic fantasy,” to borrow their words, straightforward and relentless, a mirror image of their sound. Their songs adopt lenses that magnify the world’s ailments, focusing on critiques of capitalism and patriarchy and introspections on mental health. The lyrical content arises from that same claustrophobic space where they first started-almost akin to a subterranean observatory. There, the band’s debut album, “Con uno sguardo solo” (With One Glance Only), was masterfully crafted. In collaboration with Mario Rizzotto of Pioggiadanza Produzioni, they hauled their emerging catalog of dissonant soundscapes to Trai Studio in Inzago, Milan. Almost as if viewed through binoculars, from down there, the world’s flaws become much clearer.” screamo stalwarts like Saetia, Pg.99, and Orchid, alongside an affinity for European influencers like Raein and Daitro, the band members put the pieces together.Ī few weeks into their sonic exploration, Noverte’s sound emerged, described by the band as “deliberately direct and uncompromising.” “From that garage so disconnected from the outside world, our perspective for writing lyrics also emerges. ![]() “Great responsibilities stem from humble beginnings,” the band reflected. They found themselves united, not just by the walls surrounding them but by a kind of musical gravity.

The comedian is set to star, produce and direct a new Netflix comedy about everyones favorite mass market toaster pastry, Pop-Tarts. There’s no word yet on which characters these comedians will be playing, or which rival team they’ll be playing for. Seinfeld, who is set to direct for the Netflix project, has a killer comedic cast lined up, including Melissa McCarthy, Hugh Grant, Amy Schumer, Jim Gaffigan (Hot Pockets sequel?), James Marsden, Christian Slater, Jack McBrayer, Tom Lennon, Bobby Moynihan, Max Greenfield, Sarah Cooper, and Adrian Martinez. Jerry Seinfeld is teaming up with Netflix to produce a new comedy film titled Unfrosted. This is the exact kind of drama needed for an all out chemical-laden breakfast war. Spoiler alert: Pop-Tarts are made by Kellogg’s.īut as it turns out, Post was the first to announce a foil-packaged toaster pastry, and Kellogg’s hustled to develop their own version and get it to market first.

This news comes to us from Deadline.In case you hadn’t heard, Jerry Seinfeld is making a movie about Pop-Tarts.

Until then, fans can watch Seinfeld's first original special in over two decades, 23 Hours to Kill, on Netflix along with Jerry's show Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. So as long as production goes smoothly, we could end up seeing the movie by the end of 2022 on the platform. Unfrosted doesn't yet have an official release date set by Netflix at this time, and with production not due to begin until early next year, it could be a while before we'll find out when the movie will be released. ![]() Seinfeld also executive produced and appeared in the 2002 documentary Comedian and appeared in other comedy docs over the years as well. He voiced the lead role in the animated children's movie Bee Movie in 2007, which he also co-wrote and produced. While he's a legend of both stand-up comedy and television history, Seinfeld's work in movies has been much more limited. As the comic jokes: "How did they know that there would be a need for a frosted fruit-filled heated rectangle in the same shape as the box it comes in, and with the same nutrition as the box it comes in?" The joke itself is based on Seinfeld's first experience seeing Pop Tarts as an eight-year-old child. Jerry Seinfeld is cooking up an A-list ensemble to star in Unfrosted: The Pop-Tart Story, a movie about the creation of the popular breakfast treat. ![]() ![]() ![]() These can be combined with similar dark tiles – Roland Grey Dk and highlighter tiles to create a wall concept.

Be it clubbing plain tiles with highlighter tiles or designer tiles you can still get stylish bathroom decor even on a tight budget. Even if you have a tight budget, you can still use some of the best bathroom tiles just by clubbing them with other tiles! Let’s say if you want a combination of tiles for your shower area, you can combine 2 or 3 low-priced appealing designs together to create an attractive concept. There are a wide variety of bathroom tiles which vary in their designs, colours, sizes, materials, finishes and prices. Scratch and stain resistant, porcelain tiles are also easy to clean and maintain, and are widely available in an impressive range of formats and design styles, including ultra-realistic stone and wood effects and encaustic looks – which can also help save on bathroom tile costs.Here are the sizes bathroom tiles are available in Porcelain is a stand-out material for bathroom – including wet room - tiles, as it is has an almost zero porosity thanks it its high firing temperatures and high density. Smaller tiles can work well in areas such as splash backs or in single designs to create an overall effect, but too much pattern and format mixing in stronger colors can overwhelm a space, especially a smaller one. However, they can be more wasteful in smaller spaces, if lots of cutting and fitting is required. Large format tiles are popular for bathroom use, since fewer grout lines enhance the spacious feel of any room and create a more seamless look. 'Porcelain tiles are ideal for using with this look, as they are now available in just about every color and pattern.' 'Hotels have been a major influence on recent bathroom design, leading to the popularity of marble bathroom ideas,' says Rob Whitaker, Co-founder and Creative Director of Claybrook. Depending on what bathroom tile ideas you choose, tile prices can vary quite considerably from simple ‘field’ or plain ceramic tiles at the lower end, to glass mosaics and marble at the other. With modern tile technology creating exciting new designs all the time, you’ll be spoilt for choice. When choosing tiles, consider size, finish, even grouting. What size tile should I use for a bathroom? You can also hang them vertically, on the horizontal or in a parquet-style pattern for visual variety - the decor options are almost limitless. In recent years, the subway or metro tile has seen a huge resurgence in popularity, most likely because it its versatility.įrom the classic look of plain white horizontal subway tiles to the ever-expanding array of colors available, there are so many bathroom tile ideas that can be re-created with subway tiles. What is the most popular tile for bathrooms? ‘This bathroom needed to be hard wearing, practical and not too smart, so we used fumed oak to bring warmth and texture to the room,’ says interior designer Kate Earle. The timber is a textural counterpoint to iridescent zellige tiles from Emery et Cie. In this Twenties chalet in the French Alps, interior design studio Todhunter Earle used grey oak on the floors and the bath panel. ![]() ![]() His secondary education was at King Edward VI Grammar School, Chelmsford. He was born on 6 August 1926, to engineering draughtsman Wilfred and his wife Pansy Baker, and lived in Chelmsford. Prior to this book, little was known about Baker's personal life but this has now changed. The book includes an introduction by Mark Cocker and notes by John Fanshawe. In 2011, Collins published a new edition of The Peregrine which also included The Hill of Summer and extracts from his diaries. Though not as famous as The Peregrine, it enjoys much the same reputation for literary beauty and naturalist precision. Other works and legacy īaker's only other book is 1969's The Hill of Summer, a lyrical and somewhat visionary account of summer's progress across the wilder parts of southern England. It was available for a year at the BBC Radio 4 website. The BBC published a recording of The Peregrine read by David Attenborough in December 2019. Conor Jameson has suggested in his book Silent Spring Revisited (2012) and blog that their aberrant behaviour, as recorded by Baker, may have been as a result of the effect of chemical poisoning on their nervous system. Over the years, there has been much debate over the veracity of Baker's observations of the behaviour of peregrines. ![]() The writing is lyrically charged throughout, as the author's role of diligent observer gives way to a personal transformation, as Baker becomes, in the words of James Dickey on the book's jacket cover, "a fusion of man and bird." ![]() The book recounts a single year from October to April (probably of 1962/3) from the author's ten-year obsession with the peregrines that wintered near his home in Chelmsford, Essex, in eastern England. The poll was topped by Fingers in the Sparkle Jar by Chris Packham. When the result was announced at the end of January on the BBC Winterwatch programme it did not make the top three. In January 2018, The Peregrine was included by the Arts and Humanities Research Council in a list of 10 contenders to find the UK's favourite book about nature. it has prose of the caliber that we have not seen since Joseph Conrad." On the back jacket cover of the same edition, James Dickey states that the book "transcends any ' nature writing' of our time," while Barry Lopez declares the book to be "one of the most beautifully written, carefully observed and evocative wildlife accounts I have ever read." Werner Herzog called it the "one book I would ask you to read if you want to make films," and said elsewhere ". ![]() Robert Macfarlane deemed The Peregrine to be "a masterpiece of twentieth-century non-fiction" in his introduction to the New York Review Books edition of the book. John Alec Baker (6 August 1926 – 26 December 1987) was an English author, best known for The Peregrine, which won the Duff Cooper Prize in 1967. ![]() ![]() ![]() Create spending categories and set a budget for each one.Mint is known for budgeting, which it's great at - especially for a free app. But it may appeal to those who don't trust their information being stored on the web/cloud.

To get the agency’s approval, companies have to show documentation explaining how animals are raised and providing proof of third party certification when applicable, among other things. That means that while animal product processors don’t have to tell customers how animals are raised, they are supposed to adhere to a set of standards if they make these types of claims. However, “animal-raising claims are treated as ‘special statements’ and these claims must be pre-approved by FSIS prior to use in commerce.” “There are no regulations specifically addressing animal-raising claims,” an FSIS spokesperson explained.

In addition to these conditions, free-range hens should have “continuous” access to the outdoors while they are in their laying cycle, the USDA explained. That may look different from farm to farm, the agency noted. But they can use a third party to certify certain claims, or ask the USDA to certify that its hens are “cage free” or “free range.”Ĭompanies that opt in to this USDA certification have to pay a fee.Īccording to the USDA’s standards, cage free birds can “freely roam a building, room or enclosed area with unlimited access to food and fresh water during their production cycle.” They also need to have access to perches and nests, and be protected from predators.

Livestock have to consume an organic diet, plus vitamin and mineral supplements as needed. The requirements for animal products are a little different. Seeds used can’t be genetically engineered.
