Dopo 5 anni dal suo ultimo concerto, torna in Italia Macklemore, pseudonimo di Benjamin Hammond Haggerty, artista vincitore di un Grammy Award®, il 4 maggio 2023 all’Alcatraz di Milano.
Il cantante porta in Italia il suo The Ben Tour che porta il nome dal suo disco solista, Ben, uscito il 3 marzo scorso. Si tratta dell’attesissimo terzo album in studio di Macklemore.
“Ho sempre voluto fare un album intitolato Ben. C’è qualcosa di speciale in un disco auto intitolato. Sa di voyeurismo. Faccio entrare le persone, ma in un modo in cui prima non mi sentivo a mio agio al 100%. Ora però lo sono. Nel corso del 2020, durante la pandemia globale l’artista si è ritrovato ad avere un po’ di tempo libero per fare un lavoro di introspezione, cosa che non è tipicamente concessa ad un padre di tre figli e musicista in tour… Ho sperimentato un livello di riflessione come mai prima d’ora. Questa pausa forzata e il tempo hanno creato un livello di intimità che forse non ci sarebbe stato se il mondo avesse continuato a funzionare come prima”
Macklemore raggiunge il successo internazionale nel 2011 come componente del duo formato con Ryan Lewis, grazie alla pubblicazione di due album e numerosi singoli di successo, come Thrift Shop, Downtown, Can't Hold Us e Same Love. Dopo la pausa del duo nel 2017, Macklemore pubblica il primo album solista Gemini (certificato Oro in Italia) esordendo alla seconda posizione della classifica statunitense e prima canadese, grazie ai singoli Glorious, certificato 2X Platino in Italia e Good Old Days (certificato Oro in Italia) in collaborazione con Kesha. Il pluripremiato artista ha fatto la storia con una combinazione di successo commerciale, riconoscimento da parte della critica, anche internazionale. Con un totale di 12,8 miliardi di stream raggiunti fino ad oggi, Macklemore è uno degli artisti indipendenti di maggior successo di tutti i tempi.
Nel corso della carriera ha inoltre collaborato con diversi artisti quali: Rudimental, Jess Glynne, Martin Garrix, Ray Dalton, Mary Lambert, Ed Sheeran, Chance the Rapper e Queen Latifah. Il singolo Summer Days riscuote successo nelle principali classifiche internazionali, ricevendo la certificazione di disco d'oro dalla RIAA, vendendo complessivamente oltre un milione di copie.
Nel 2018 ha partecipato al Recovery Fest, concerto per sostenere le associazioni che si occupano di combattere la dipendenza e l'abuso di alcol e droghe. Già nel 2016, durante il discorso settimanale del 44º presidente degli Stati Uniti Barack Obama, racconta la propria esperienza: "Quando ci si trova in mezzo, è difficile immaginare che qualcosa sia peggio della dipendenza. Ma la vergogna e lo stigma associati alla malattia impediscono a troppe persone di cercare l'aiuto di cui hanno effettivamente bisogno".
Nel 2019, Macklemore ha ricevuto il premio Stevie Ray Vaughan Award dai Grammy Award, in riconoscimento del suo sostegno a MusiCares e al processo di recupero dalla dipendenza dalle sostanze stupefacenti.

Southsea
Southsea is a seaside resort located in Portsmouth at the southern end of Portsea Island, Hampshire. The name originates from Southsea Castle, a fort located on the seafront and constructed in 1544 to help defend the Solent and approaches to Portsmouth Harbour.
When Henry VIII was in the castle he witnessed the sinking of the warship Mary Rose in the Solent.
By the mid to late Victorian era, Southsea had become a largely middle-class neighbourhood, with many naval officers and other professionals in residence. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle moved from Portsmouth to Southsea in 1882 with less than £10 (about £900 today) to his name. He set up a medical practice at 1 Bush Villas in Elm Grove.
Southsea Common
Southsea Common was created when about 480 acres (2sq. km.) of marshland was drained. Because the castle required clear lines of fire, the area was not built on, and remains today as a park and garden.
The Common is home to a remarkable collection of mature elm trees, believed to be the oldest and largest surviving in Hampshire. They escaped Dutch elm disease because of their isolation.
The Ladies' Mile was set out within the Common in 1925. The Ladies' mile is home to several semi-mature date palms. Planted in 1996, these palms are now some of the largest in the UK, and for the last few years have fruited and produced viable seeds, the first time this species of palm has been recorded as doing so in the UK.
Lumps Fort
Lumps Fort is a disused fortification built on Portsea Island as part of the defences for the naval base at Portsmouth.
Early History of the Fort
Lumps Fort dates from the 18th. century. The earliest reference to it is in the records of the Board of Ordnance in 1805 which mention 'Lumps Fort - three 32-pounder guns'.
By 1822 the fort was the site of a semaphore station on the semaphore line from London to Portsmouth. It was constructed here to avoid the smog of the town of Portsmouth so it could see and be seen from Portsdown Hill.
The fort had fallen out of use as a defensive fort by the 1820's, and in 1827 part of the fort fell into the sea. The semaphore station was closed in 1847 when the electrical telegraph took over.
Palmerston-Era Reconstruction
The fort was reconstructed between 1859 and 1869 as one of the Palmerston forts in the line of Portsmouth Harbour defences. It was designed to be fitted with 17 guns, and had a barrack block at the rear to accommodate 100 men.
It was not normally manned, with only a Master Gunner normally in residence at the Fort - in 1885 the Master Gunner was H. Orchard.
The fort was also used by the City of London Artillery Volunteers who undertook gun practice from there in 1889.
The fort was re-armed in the 1890's with three 6-inch rifled breech-loader Mk. IV guns on hydro-pneumatic carriages. These guns were taken away in 1906.
The fort was re-armed in 1914 with a 6-pounder Hotchkiss anti-aircraft gun.
In 1942, an elite special forces unit, the Royal Marine Boom Defence Patrol Detachment, was based in two Nissen huts at the fort and trained in the Solent opposite. The unit went on to conduct Operation Frankton, the 'Cockleshell Raid' on shipping in Bordeaux harbour.
Post-Military Use of Lumps Fort
After WW II, the fort was planted as a rose garden, with the Eastern part of the site becoming the Southsea Model Village.
Adjacent to the site is the Canoe Lake, constructed from a large area of marshland, which was opened on 17 June 1886 and used as a boating lake. During World War II, the lake was used for experiments into countermeasures against magnetic mines.

The Grey (or Gray) squirrel, you either love 'em or you hate 'em. Cute and fluffy little funsters or destructive critters who ruin trees, kill bird chicks and trees and damage our homes... oh and it's their fault we lost our native Red squirrels as well!
OK
I get it and I see both sides of the story of course. For my part, I am a nature, wildlife and landscape photographer who prefers the company of animals and natural beauty to fellow humans who are systematically plundering Mother Earth's resources and killing off her beautiful creatures at an alarming rate! I believe there is a natural order of things, creatures kill other creatures to survive, they adapt to situations and when mankind encroaches on their territory to make a fast buck, those animals sometimes adapt to survive and the order changes.
That is the balance of nature which is ever changing and affected by us..... the dumbest of the great apes.
Some species are driven out by others, some may be destined to become extinct, the fittest will survive, and sometime a species will need intervention and help from mankind in order to survive... usually as a direct consequence of mankind's own actions in destroying the animal kingdom's natural habitat of course.
I adore these little fellas and at almost sixty years old, I never grew up knowing red squirrels at all. I've seen reds in Scotland and black squirrels in Stanley Park on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada, but in my beloved home country of England I have always known and loved the cute little Greys. They visit my garden and give me hours, days, weeks of happiness and wonderful photographic opportunities, and I see them in Parks and forests all around me, so it's time to offer up an insight into the Grey squirrel, much loved, much hated... a sort of Marmite rodent if you will.
WHAT EXACTLY IS A SQUIRREL?
The word 'Squirrel', was first recorded in 1327 and hails from the Anglo-Norman word 'Esquirel', from old French 'Escurel', which was a reflex for the Latin word 'Sciurus'.The Eastern gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) is also known as the Eastern Grey squirrel or simply grey squirrel depending on the region of the world it is found. It is a tree squirrel, of the squirrel family Sciuridae including over one hundred arboreal species native to all continents of the world other than Antarctica and Oceania. Tree squirrels live mostly in trees, apart from the flying squirrel. The best known genus is Sciurus, containing most of the bushy tailed squirrels which are found in Europe, North America, temperate Asia as well as central and south America.
The scientific classification for the Eastern Grey is:
KINGDOM: ANIMALIA PHYLUM: CHORDATA CLASS: MAMMALIA ORDER: RODENTIA FAMILY: SCIURIDAE GENUS: SCIURUS SUBGENUS: SCIURUS SPECIES: SCIURUS CAROLINENSIS
They were first noted by German naturalist, botanist, entomologist, herpetologist, and malacologist - Johann Friedrich Gmelin in 1788.
A mammal and rodent, predominantly herbivorous they are none the less an omnivore with a life span of between two and ten years. They can grow to 70cm in length and weigh up to 8kg. There are more than two hundred and sixty species of worldwide squirrel, the smallest being the African pygmy squirrel at just 10cm in length, whereas the Indian giant squirrel is three feet long! The oldest fossil of a squirrel, Hesperopetes, dates back to the late Eocene epoch period Chadronian period of 40-35 million years ago. The tree squirrels rotate their ankles by 180 degrees, so that the hind paws pointy backwards gripping tree bark which enables them to descend a tree headfirst.
Originally native to Eastern and Midwestern United States of America, they were first introduced into the United Kingdom in 1876 in Henbury Park, Macclesfield in Cheshire when Victorian banker Thomas V. Brocklehurst released a pair of Greys that he brought back from a business trip to America after their attraction as pets had waned. Victorians had a penchant for collecting exotic animals and birds of the world, but trends came and went and subsequently animals were simply discarded into the wilderness. There are early records of greys released near Denbighshire in north Wales from private collections. Later introduced to several regions in the UK, they quickly settled and spread, colonizing an area of three hundred miles in a quarter of a century between Argyll and Stirlingshire in Scotland.
Introductions of the Greys between 1902 and 1929 (the year of the last recorded introduction), included: Regent’s Park in London, Berkshire, Northamptonshire, Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, Devon, Warwickshire, Nottinghamshire, Suffolk and Hampshire. Grey Squirrels spread into Gloucestershire and eastern Wiltshire with animals coming directly from the United States or from Woburn. One hundred greys were released in Richmond Park in Surrey in 1902, Ninety one into Regent’s Park between 1905 and 1907 and a further ten New Jersey imported greys were introduced into Woburn Park in Bedfordshire.
Predators include hawks, weasels, raccoons, bobcats, foxes, domestic and feral cats, snakes, owls, and dogs, African harrier-hawks in Africa and... oh yes, Mankind pretty much everywhere who despise, mistreat, cull or eat it .
FACTS, MYTHS AND THAT POXY PARAPOX!
The massive decline in native red squirrels blamed upon the spread of the invasive greys has always been perhaps a little harsh as reds were already in a steep decline due to loss of habitat and disease and thus the greys simply took over the areas where the reds were dwindling. It's also a fact that reds were also seen as a plague, branded as pests who killed birds and damaged trees and the culling of reds almost brought them to the brink of extinction. Licenses to kill reds could still be obtained up until the seventies!
Reds suffered at the hands of mankind thanks to a combination of agricultural deforestation also linked with war and fuel needs which caused extinction in Southern Scotland and Ireland by the early eighteenth century, way before greys had been introduced. Harsh winters killed off the less hardy red population in the early nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
Greys are more adept at finding food and adapting to locations and environments, but also carry the squirrel poxvirus (SQPV) which although not particularly harmful to them, is a serious infection for the reds.
Parapox in red squirrels causes swollen lesions around the mouth, eyes, ears and nose also the front paws and sometimes genitals and skin ulcers and kills a red within fifteen days. There is no definitive correlation between the spread of the virus and the spread of the Greys, it actually arrived in several areas before the greys began to colonize there. An epidemic virus was observed in Red squirrels from at least 1900 with isolation attempts failing, and the first case of Parapox in the UK was in 1980 in the county of Norfolk. Greys cannot transmit the virus to reds via saliva or faeces, but reds can between each other from bodily secretions and at animal feeders in gardens. The transmission from greys to reds is though to come from parasites. Eight to ten per cent of reds survive the virus, and there is some evidence that reds are slowly building an evolved resistance.
Greys are seen as pests to forest land, stripping bark from trees during May and June, and are also capable of destroying household bins, water pipes, causing roof damage not to mention taking eggs and killing young chicks of ground nesting and songbird populations. They also take from bird feeders and there is a whole industry for creating squirrel proof feeders these days.
THE CULLING OF GREY SQUIRRELS
Grey squirrels have limited legal protection and can be legally controlled all year round by a variety of methods including shooting and trapping. Methods of trapping and killing include Drey poking and shooting, Tunnel trapping using spring traps set in accordance with BASC’s trapping pest mammals code of practice. They can also be shot using a shotgun or powerful air rifle or up until September 30th 2014 poisoned by Warfarin (Now outlawed).
Whilst professional trapping and extermination is hopefully done as humanely as possible, there have been cases, many of them where cost savings have been gained by battering the squirrels to death! Grey squirrels are trapped in ghastly metal contraptions for hours and hours, wearing themselves out frantically trying to escape by gnawing at the metals bars. They bite the floor and scratch at them with their claws and do not get a moments peace or rest through absolute fear. Once the traps are retrieved, each squirrel, terrified will be thrown into a sack and smacked on the head countless times with a blunt instrument. When a mother is slaughtered, her babies who are totally dependent on her, will die a slow death of thirst and starvation.
There is an argument for the control of Greys on many grounds but also a counter argument that Culling does not work, and has not on countless times where, once a population of greys have been culled, the nearest group will move back in and claim the land. The university of Bristol concluded that there was little evidence that culling greys to save red squirrels was effective, and that perhaps finding a way of boosting red squirrel immunity to the poxvirus or planting areas of yew trees where reds are known to thrive and spending money on research into positive moves might be a better option.
In Ireland, the re-introduction of the Pine marten, a species made extinct originally by the very same land owners who also wish to do the same to the grey squirrel, has seen the rapid demise of the grey and the reintroction of the native reds. Red squirrels are smaller and more nimble than their grey counterparts, and as such can get to the very ends of tree branches where neither the pine martins, nor more importantly the heavier greys can, thus surviving and thriving. As a result in Ireland, the grey squirrel population has crashed in approximately 9,000 km2 of its former range and the reds has become common once more after a thirty year absence... oh and Pine Martens are protected again!
In Scotland, Pine Martens exist in areas where Red squirrels thrive, and greys do not. So perhaps there is a lesson here, as in England where there are no pine martens, the greys are prolific breeders. So there is an argument against the barbarity of shooting and poisoning greys, and if, as so many believe, the greys MUST be controlled, how about a more humane and natural method that nature intended.. with re-introduction of predators. Just a thought!
So a few facts and figures on the greys and to wrap up, from a purely personal perspective I love these little guys, as I do almost every creature in nature other than those eight legged beasties that shall not be named and for which I have a deep and powerful phobia that borders on paranoia!
I could no more harm an animal deliberately than eat a McDonald's McRib (Once saw how they are made and let me just say... eeeuuuuuwwwww!!).
They are small, cute, cuddly, furry, they photograph beautifully, have great personality and make me smile. They trust me enough to take food from my hand in parks, and I can't bare the though of ugly, hairy land owners sticking a shotgun in their face and blowing them away! I appreciate they can be a pest, a problem, a menace, that their PR managers might have a bit of a problem winning you over when they flay small chicks alive on your lawn or decimate the songbird population by stealing their eggs.... and perhaps there is a need to keep the population under control and try and re-establish the red population.....
Yep I get that....
I just hope we can solve the problem more humanely to create a peaceful coexistence of the reds and greys in different areas. A man can dream can't he.

The Postcard
A postcard that was published by Bamforth & Co. Ltd. It was posted to an address in Watford, Herts.
The postmark can't be read because the stamp has been removed, but the cars in the photograph suggest the early sixties.
The message on the other side was:
"Having a nice time, weather
great.
Been to the beach every day
so far. Such a lot to do here I
don't know where to start.
See you soon,
Val, George and boys".

James Bamforth began his career as a manufacturer of lantern slides. In 1890 he started production of illustrated song lyric slides that audiences could sing along to at shows. This quickly became his most popular selling item. In the years following, the Company became the largest producer of life model slides.
From this vast photo inventory Bamforth began to publish a variety of postcard types including comics, greetings, propaganda, real photos and views, but especially song sets, many of which were reproduced from lantern slide images.
Today they are best remembered for their series of saucy seaside postcards, which may have numbered close to a 100,000 different titles. While this series was begun in 1902, they did not become very popular until the 1930’s.
In 1906 Bamforth opened a New York Office at 35 West 21st. Street. By 1910 they had become a Limited company. The Company was sold to E. T. W. Dennis, but in 2000 the rights to their images were purchased by Ian Walker.
My photo of Minne the Lake Creature was published in the April '12 issue of Mpls.St.Paul Magazine after it was found on flickr.
"SHE'S BAAACK!
→ Like those neighbors you haven't seen all winter, Minne the Lake Creature reappears each spring to jazz up our lives. There's no telling where she'll pop up. She likes all the Minneapolis lakes. If you do see her, don't ask if she wintered in Florida (not that there's anything wrong with that!). Minne takes pride in being a hardy Minnesota gal who likes to stay close to home."
Full disclosure: The photo was meant to highlight the return of the floating sculpture to the Chain of Lakes, but the photo was actually taken last fall.
Sadly, I'm back in Vancouver after 19 absolutely amazing days in Japan. I'm currently about 10 days behind in getting new photos from the trip up on Flickr and waaaaaay behind in looking at all of the great new shots from my Flickr contacts, but I'll catch up eventually.
On my return to Vancouver, I was treated to a package waiting for me in my mailbox: my personal copy of beijing chic. Thanks to Melisa, five of my Beijing shots posted on Flickr were selected to be included in the book:
• Tsinghua University Memorial Gate [page 167]
• Tsinghua Science Park at night [page 168 and back cover]
• Chengfu Lu at night [page 169]
• Lion at Fragrant Hills [page 170]
• Still more to climb (Simatai Great Wall) [page 188]
Thanks again, Melisa!
Oh, and my Flickr stream passed through 25,000 views a few days after I got to Tokyo... thanks to everyone for their visits, kind words, and continued support!
My photos were published in Willow's spring 2008 edition!

Una tra le più travolgenti e popolari pop punk band in circolazione in apertura alla più grande punk band del mondo, i Green Day.
Gli All Time Low si sono formati a Baltimora nel 2003 tra i banchi di scuola, quando il chitarrista Jack Barakat conosce il bassista e cantante Marc Shilling e il batterista Yanni Giannaros. Inizialmente nati come cover dei gruppi punk rock come Blink 182 e New Found Glory, in un attimo iniziano a comporre brani propri ed arruolano il chitarrista Alex Gaskarth. Alcuni cambi di formazione dopo, la band assume il nome definitivo di All Time Low e nel 2004 pubblicano il primo EP, The Three Words To Remember In Dealing With The End, seguito l’anno seguente dal disco di debutto, The Party Scene. Tra accenni pop e chiari riff punk rock, la band non tarda a farsi notare nella scena musicale americana e nel 2006 firma con la rinomata Hopeless Records. Nel 2009 esce il fortunato disco Nothing Personal, acclamato dalla critica musicale che vede in questi giovani ragazzi non solo il solito gruppo pop punk adolescenziale ma dei musicisti di tutto rispetto.
Nel 2011 gli All Time Low segnano il debutto su major firmando con la Interscope, con cui pubblicano l’album Dirty Work, che ha venduto oltre 45.000 copie negli Stati Uniti nella prima settimana, piazzandosi al numero 6 della Billboard Chart, grazie anche al singolo I Feel Like Dancing, scritto insieme a Rivers Cuomo dei Weezer. Il 2012 segna un nuovo cambio di direzione della band, che annuncia la pubblicazione di un nuovo album indipendente tramite la Hopeless Records, l’etichetta che li seguiti sin dagli albori. Don’t Panic è il quinto disco di studio della band: un ritorno alle origini in chiave melodica ed alternative punk rock.
