"Meglio Live", il tour che la voce indiscussa del rap'n'roll porta in tutta Italia a partire dal 26 maggio prossimo è un'esperienza da non perdere. Infatti J-Ax, dopo il successo del tour 2011 con oltre 30.000 spettatori, ritorna sul palco con un nuovo spettacolo di pura energia, sempre accompagnato dall'Accademia delle Teste Dure - la sua band composta da Space One, Fabio-B, Guido Style, Dj Zak e Steve Luchi.
J-Ax continua a consolidare un successo in costante crescita: l'album "Meglio Prima", uscito in Settembre 2011 con 27 settimane consecutive in classifica è già da tempo disco d'oro. Sette i singoli che ne sono stati tratti finora: "Dentro Me", "Musica da Rabbia", "Meglio Prima", "Domenica Da Coma" (votata canzone dell'anno negli Award indetti da Rockol, il prestigioso web magazine musicale), "I Love My Bike", "Altra Vita", una ballad dallo spirito punk, il cui video è un viaggio fra i luoghi che hanno visto Ax crescere e il più recente "Tutta Scena", una sorta di riempipista da pogo, ideale per anticipare l'atmosfera dei concerti estivi. Per i suoi fan vecchi e nuovi - 500 mila su facebook e già oltre 100.000 follower su twitter a pochi mesi dall'apertura dell'account, da Marzo è uscita tutta la sua discografia completa, dagli album con gli Articolo 31, la sua band fino al 2005, fino a oggi, solista con 5 album all'attivo, passando per side project come i "Due di Picche" con Neffa. Nove uscite a prezzo speciale con un nuovo packaging, contributi extra e anche brani inediti che faranno parte solo dell'ultimo numero di questa collana. L'8 maggio infatti sarà disponibile "Meglio Live", l'album dal vivo del quale fa parte "Brillo Ma Da Lucido" l'ultimissimo singolo attualmente in airplay radiofonico e a breve anche in video.
Full spread in the A.P. Magazine that showcases Dear Dakota for unsigned band of the month.

Children & Youth Affairs Minister James Reilly publishes major report on childcare
Minister for Children and Youth Affairs James Reilly has today published a major report which proposes how best to invest in childcare services over the coming years.
The report puts forward options to enhance affordability for parents, improve the quality of services and outcomes for children, and promote greater accessibility in the sector.
Commenting on the report, Minister Reilly said:
Affordability, quality and accessibility are the big concerns for us all. This document offers a clear vision for future investment in early years and school-age services. It represents the most ambitious, detailed and costed plan for childcare ever produced by Government, and it follows a period of very productive consultation with parents, providers and the general public.
Some of the key recommendations in the report include:
A longer period of parental leave to enhance outcomes in the first year of a child’s life;
An enhanced ECCE provision (currently the ‘free pre-school year’) which would be extended to the point at which primary school starts;
and
A new, single subsidy scheme for pre-school and school-going children with simplified eligibility based on income.
At today’s launch Minister Reilly said:
I am pleased that the Group has looked in depth at the international evidence. It has pointed to the shortfalls in the current provision in Ireland and has put forward costed options which can be of real benefit to children, parents, families and society. As the economy improves, we now have opportunity for strategic investment that will help achieve better outcomes for children, offer greater supports to parents, improve quality, and upskill the sector.

Janelle Orsi is a lawyer aiming to create laws that make it easier to own things communally and to share what you already own. She wrote a book published by NOLO about legal details of sharing whatever. I was envious of these achievements and admiring of her butch outfit. www.sustainableeconomieslawcenter.org

Dopo aver conquistato l’Italia e tutta l’Europa con il suo “Hellvisback tour”, torna a grande richiesta Salmo, il profeta del rap italiano, per “Playlist Tour 2019”: il 30 marzo 2019 al Mediolanum Forum di Assago a Milano.
Si consolida la collaborazione fra Vivo Concerti e Lebonski Agency, inaugurata lo scorso anno con due sold out epici al Fabrique di Milano e un tour primaverile tutto esaurito.
Brillano fra i suoi successi: “Hellvisback”, certificato doppio platino e uscito nel 2016, che ha debuttato al numero 1 della classifica di iTunes e della FIMI restandoci inchiodato per due settimane; “Midnite” disco del 2013; il singolo “1984” certificato platino e l’ulteriore platino per il brano “Alba”. Alla collezione dei dischi di platino di Salmo di aggiungono anche i singoli “Don Medellin” (2016) e “Estate Dimmerda” (2017). Oltre 147 milioni di visualizzazioni sul suo canale YouTube ufficiale, l’artista rap che ha venduto di più nel 2016 si è inoltre esibito in un tour europeo tra marzo e aprile 2017, toccando città come Madrid, Barcellona, Parigi, Dublino, Londra, Berlino, Bruxelles, Amsterdam e Salonicco, per poi tornare in Italia con un tour primaverile.
L’attività live occupa da sempre un posto centrale nell’attitudine dell’artista, che trova sul palco la sua naturale e autentica dimensione, a contatto col suo pubblico che è trasversale come il suo personaggio e la sua proposta musicale, contaminata e in continua evoluzione.
Salmo è un pioniere della musica che inserendosi nella scena rap, è stato in grado di cambiarne i connotati di genere, introducendovi elementi di elettronica e rap hardcore come ancora non si era mai visto in Italia.
Primo ospite della serata Fabri Fibra. Fratello maggiore del cantautore Nesli, l'esordio di Fabri Fibra nell'ambiente dell'hip hop underground avviene a metà degli anni novanta con il nome Fabbri Fil, facendo parte per diversi anni degli Uomini di Mare e dei gruppi derivati da questi ultimi: i Qustodi del tempo e il collettivo Teste Mobili. Debutta come solista con il nome d'arte di Fabri Fibra nel 2002 con l'album Turbe giovanili, con il quale ottiene un discreto successo. Significativo per la svolta della sua carriera è invece l'album Mr. Simpatia, pubblicato nel 2004, con cui lascia il suo marchio indelebile nella scena musicale di allora e con cui spiana il terreno al contratto, nel 2006, con la major discografica Universal, con la quale pubblica nello stesso anno l'album Tradimento, il passo decisivo verso la notorietà di critica e di pubblico.

Gli Hurts, duo synth pop tra i più importanti della scena internazionale, tornano finalmente in Italia per promuovere il loro quarto album Desire, il 28 novembre al Fabrique di Milano.
Desire è stato anticipato dal singolo “Beautiful Ones”, accompagnato da un video dalla grande cura delle immagini e dal contenuto decisamente forte, scritto dallo stesso cantante Theo Hutchcraft.
In tutto il brano, definito come “una celebrazione dell’individualità” e decisamente provocatorio, si esplorano i concetti di amore, odio, brutalità e bellezza, e si crea un legame di forte empatia.
Sono passati 7 anni da “Wonderful Life”, il singolo-bomba che li fece conoscere in tutto il mondo, e da “Happiness”, il loro album di debutto. Da allora sono cresciuti al punto di diventare uno dei gruppi pop di maggior successo in tutta Europa, con una serie di hit e la conquista della top ten della classifica degli album in molti Paesi tra cui Germania, Svizzera, Austria, Belgio, Svezia, Irlanda, Russia. Polonia, Ucraina, Finlandia, Olanda e UK.
Gli Hurts sono un gruppo musicale synth pop britannico formato a Manchester dal cantante Theo Hutchcraft e dal tastierista Adam Anderson.
Hanno riscosso successo su scala europea, ma in particolar modo nel Regno Unito, durante il 2010, grazie ai singoli Wonderful Life e Better Than Love, che hanno anticipato la pubblicazione del disco di debutto Happiness, che ha venduto oltre 2 milioni di copie.
The Postcard
A postcard that was published by R&K L, The card was posted in Streatham, London SW using a ½d. stamp on Tuesday the 9th. June 1914, fifty-six days before Great Britain declared war on Germany.
The card was sent to:
Miss G. Nicholls,
Scarboro House,
All Saints Road,
Wolverhampton,
Staffs.
The pencilled message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"Dear Gertie,
Lovely weather here
today.
Heard from W. E. H.
this morning.
L. xxx"
Terrorism in Birmingham
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, on the 9th. June 1914, militant suffragette Bertha Ryland slashed a painting in Birmingham Art Gallery in order to publicise the cause for women's suffrage.
Bertha Wilmot Ryland was born in Edgbaston on the 12th. October 1882, the youngest of five children.
Her pedigree as a campaigner for women's suffrage was long: her mother Mrs Alice Ryland of 19 Hermitage Road in Edgbaston had been a member of the executive committee of the Birmingham Women's Suffrage Society (BWSS) in the mid-1870's.
-- Bertha Ryland's Militancy
After taking part in the window-smashing campaign on Bond Street in London in March 1912 she was sentenced at the London Sessions to six months’ imprisonment, serving four months in Winson Green Prison where she was strip-searched and went on hunger strike and was force-fed 14 times, for which she received the Hunger Strike Medal from the WSPU.
In June 1914 the 31 year-old Ryland slashed the painting of John Bensley Thornhill known as 'Master Thornhill' by George Romney in Birmingham Art Gallery three times with a meat cleaver that she had concealed in her jacket, causing £50 worth of damage.
During the attack she had on her a letter containing her name and address which justified her action, stating:
'I attack this work of art deliberately as a protest
against the government's criminal injustice in
denying women the vote, and also against the
government's brutal injustice in imprisoning,
forcibly feeding, and drugging suffragist militants,
while allowing Ulster militants to go free.'
This she left behind after she left the Gallery.
Following the attack, the Gallery closed for six weeks, and on its reopening security was increased so that it not open after 5 p.m. and was closed all day on Sundays, at the same time enforcing a new rule of 'No muffs, wrist-bags or sticks'.
After her arrest Ryland appeared before magistrates for her committal hearing during which she refused to take part in the proceedings and shouted 'No surrender!' as she was taken out of court.
She again went on hunger strike while held on remand. Accepting bail, Ryland was too ill to stand trial at the July Assizes after a doctor at Queen's Hospital in Birmingham stated that her attending the hearing would cause her mental condition to deteriorate.
-- Force-Feeding
Ryland still had not received a sentence when the Great War broke out. She suffered permanent kidney damage as a result of her force-feeding in prison.
The July 1914 edition of The Suffragette contained a statement by Ryland about her force-feeding during which she was held down by four prison wardresses and a thick rubber tube forced down her nostril into her throat:
"I resisted, and was seized round the waist by
wardresses, and once tied around the waist in
the operating chair.
This mauling of the unprotected kidney together
with the retching and choking, strained and twisted
the kidney and caused chronic inflammation... the
acute agony, the inevitable retching and choking,
and the feeling of suffocation, accompanied by the
utter helplessness, all combined to make this the
most unutterably hideous experience.
I lay in bed practically all the time... feeling too ill
and exhausted to do anything. In addition to this
feeling of exhaustion there came long periods of
mental depression... Besides an unaccountable
feeling of misery and depression, my memory
seemed to be going, and it was a great effort to
think clearly or fix my attention on anything... the
mental anguish caused by forcible feeding is, of
course, quite indescribable."
-- Bertha Ryland's Legacy
Ryland received a 1953 Coronation Medal; this with her Hunger Strike Medal from the WSPU were sold by Christie's in 1999 for £6,325. Bertha Ryland never married, and died in Birmingham in April 1977.
In November 2018, in commemoration of her attack a century before, a blue plaque was unveiled in her honour by Birmingham Civic Society in the Round Room at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery.
The Launch of a Zeppelin
Also on that day, the SS Zeppelin was launched by Bremer Vulkan at Bremen-Vegesack, Germany.
Initially designed to be a passenger cruise ship, the SS Zeppelin was commissioned as a troop ship in 1915 during the Great War.
She was surrendered as war reparations to the UK Government, and resumed service as a cruise ship under the United Kingdom in 1920.
The Launch of HMS Gorgon
Also on the 9th. June 1914, Royal Navy ship HMS Gorgon was launched by Armstrong Whitworth at Elswick, Tyne and Wear.
She was built as a coastal defense ship for the Royal Norwegian Navy, but was re-purchased and re-outfitted by the Royal Navy during the final month of the Great War.
A Dangerous Manoeuvre
Also on that day, French Navy Lieutenant Jean de Laborde used a ramp constructed over the foredeck tender Foudre, in order to attempt France's second airplane takeoff from a ship.
The takeoff would have been the first by a French naval aviator, however he crashed.
A New Baseball Record
Also on that day, Pittsburgh Pirate Honus Wagner became the first baseball player in the 20th. century to achieve 3000 career hits.
Dietrich Peltz
The 9th. June 1914 also marked the birth in Gera, Germany of the German air force officer Dietrich Peltz.
Peltz became commander of the 9th., 2nd., and 1st. Air Corps of the Luftwaffe, and the youngest general officer of the Wehrmacht during World War II.
Peltz, who was a recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross, died in 2001.
