Sign up for our Puzzled with David Astle newsletter. As a keen reader of US fiction, I\\u2019ve seen the word a thousand times: clapboard. The stuff of Californian bungalows and Cormac McCarthy. What Australians call weatherboard, overlapping lengths of pine nailed in place, just as the word is fixed in my reading memory. Then came an audiobook to shiver my timbers. Suddenly, I heard of \\u201Cclabberd\\u201D houses, stopping mid-walk to adjust my ear-buds. Maybe the author meant clobbered, as in storm-struck houses, though no twister or space junk was mentioned. I hit rewind. Relistened. Yep, definitely clabberd. And then the penny dropped. I\\u2019d fallen for a sight word. QI elves, the brainiacs behind that show\\u2019s questions, call it Calliope Syndrome, when a word you know by sight delivers facial egg when you utter it. Calliope is a classic example in both senses. You meet the steam organ on the page, or its Greek muse namesake, and presume the word rhymes with antelope. Wrong. Coloscopy is a closer match, and probably less painful. Closer to home, we recognise this slip as hyperbole syndrome, honouring former PM Julia Gillard who lent that problematic word a Tupperware vibe in 2011, speaking of hyper-bowls on The 7:30 Report. Notably, calliope and hyperbole own Greek roots, up there with pedagogy and paradigm: two more booby traps. Derision came fast after Gillard\\u2019s \\u201Cfox-pass\\u201D \\u2013 though we all do it, readers especially. From awry to zabaglione, we meet a word in writing, and test its sound in our minds. Gunwales, say, imply a Cardiff revolver more than the sonic twin of funnels, just as the cotoneaster suggests a Lent crib, until you give it breath. Granny Clampett, of all people, taught me how to say victuals. A dozen YouTube videos have coached us in acai and Saoirse. There\\u2019s no shame in having a crack, so long as we don\\u2019t rely too heavily on satnav savants, those dashboard bots who direct us to Kinneton instead of Kyneton, or Jim-pee as Gympie. Where exactly? Maybe AI could do with a few elocution lessons. Kinder listeners will know a wonky epitome when they hear one, a dodgy heinous, lending guidance. Just as adults echo an amended Yosemite Sam to a kid. Lovingly, intent to see their reading confidence mirror their gumption to speak. Macabre is exactly that. Who can blame a reader for murdering that monstrosity? Ennui is ridiculous. Quinoa? Please. Invented by a sadist. In fact, the one time a fox-pass will bite is when you claim the mantle of authority. Spare a thought for newsreaders, say, updating listeners on Belarus tennis seeds, Icelandic volcanoes, or this year\\u2019s tragic collision above the Potomac. I recall when a financial adviser lost his audience at a seminar. His credibility. The keynote was humming, his buzzwords buzzing, only for the magic to dispel with \\u201Cjuckapose\\u201D. Doubts haunted the pundit\\u2019s J-curves thanks to one lousy J-word. Evidence suggests we forgive our peers for a wayward minestrone, but call yourself an Italian chef and blow that? You\\u2019re bruschetta. As an ABC broadcaster, especially during fire season, I know the responsibility of nailing down phonetics. Albany and Derby are old hat, or should be, etched in your fox-pass playbook. The good people of Mirranatwa, or nearby Woohlpooer, won\\u2019t appreciate their towns being mangled into bad charades. If things are going awry, or locals run the risk of being clobbered, then best to make your syllables sound.

AEST = Australian Eastern Standard Time which is 10 hours ahead of GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) A central Queensland club is about to be transformed thanks to the generosity of a local council that has tapped into the boom in golf and a street-smart committee that refused to let the club die an 18-hole facility an hour’s drive south-east of Rockhampton is having a new irrigation system installed as a result of a new arrangement with Gladstone Regional Council’s adjacent waste water treatment plant Venue manager Deborah Gatenby said the improvements were expected to be completed around May this year As works continue six days a week two or three holes have been out of play each week but the 400-plus members are confident that the pain will be worthwhile when the final project is completed Gladstone Council has been diverting waste water to the golf course for more than 20 years but previously paid a minimal fee of several thousand dollars a year to do this Five years ago when the Covid pandemic hit hard the club fell into several hundred thousand dollars of debt and they owed all this money to the members,” said club president Paulette Lindley “The club at the time said ‘we need to sell’.” After some negotiations with the council for a sale a new committee headed by Lindley came into place The club told the council that it was no longer for sale Having researched the substantial cost of alternatives for the council’s disposal of grey water “They (the council) came back to us and said ‘we can’t do that but the way it will work is if we redo the infrastructure We think that it’s going to be a facility that will attract more people We’re very appreciative of what the council is doing.” The project is worth around $5 million and includes full irrigation of the course and driving range as well as soil remediation work golf tips and access to partner promotions Join our newsletterGet weekly updates on news This website is using a security service to protect itself from

The first ever US-based concert event to feature a solo talent was held on March 26th at the iconic Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles a talent of hololive production’s very first English generation hololive English -Myth- this solo concert marks the start of hololive production’s continued growth at bringing its amazing performance events overseas We hope that this report conveys the excitement and energy of the concert Though hololive production has hosted group concerts in the United States such as hololive English 2nd Concert -Breaking Dimensions- on August 24th and 25th Mori Calliope 2nd Concert “Grimoire” is the first concert in hololive history to star a single performing talent overseas and outside of Japan made her debut within hololive English back on September 12th As an early pioneer for English-speaking VTubers this year marks her fifth year together with the agency and within an impressive two years of activity signed with major record label Universal Music Japan a total of 22 of her original songs were performed over the course of the Los Angeles solo concert With a sold out venue and lines of fans present long before the doors were set to open the concert once more reaffirmed hololive production’s growing popularity in its efforts to expand the sensation of VTubing across the world the concert welcomed them with an introductory video into Mori Calliope’s world as a grim reaper— who rather than aspiring to climb higher and higher to reach the skies as a typical idol might instead journeys further and further into the deepness of the abyss This introduction was followed by ongoing dark and edgy aesthetics which laced each following song performances Clad in a cap and fashionable street-style outfit Calliope opened with her first song of the night The energizing performance featured pink burning lights as well as bursts of smoke pillars Calliope was joined by four skeleton back up dancers and supporting her through “未来島 ~Future Island~” a song released in 2023 made to commemorate the release of popular manga series ONE PIECE’s 106th volume The friendly skeletons continued to dance with Calliope through “Yona Yona Journey” which shifted the atmosphere of the stage to that of a futuristic yet somehow simultaneously nostalgic dance club Next up came a snazzy and high-energy performance of “NEZUMI Scheme” with an animated backdrop that featured bold animations and cartoons During “FLASH BANG” which followed shortly after Calliope introduced us to Japanese graffiti aesthetics and a groovy beat “Make ‘Em Afraid” further amped the excitement of the audience with its playfully hypnotic melody line With the crowd clapping along to help carry the tempo Calliope embodied her grim reaper image and empowered the audience with her song With a shift in mood first induced by visual noise and glitch art Calliope appeared on stage with a bass guitar shaped like a large scythe A stand mic of bones gave the performance an extra heavy metal touch and with a genre change to hip-hop rap rock some fans even began to throw their heads and hair along a collaboration song with METAL GEAR SOLID a large snake and a code matrix were featured in the backdrop while Calliope drove through the earworm chorus again and again which enraptured the audience in a haunting melody Large skeleton hands enveloped Calliope after and revealed a new costume shown on the concert’s official artwork— a black outfit with lace and other gothic elements as well as horn-like headpiece she continued with the lively song “DONMAI” “Last Days” which showcased Calliope’s singing ability and higher voice register near a cathedral gate and beneath a large allowed Calliope to similarly maintain a slower and relaxed energy the stage presented an underwater scene with tropical fish while Calliope sang “through the blue” the crowd waved their pen lights along to the acoustic strums of a guitar and Calliope strutted about the stage and inspired confidence through her dancing pulling the energy up from the previously relaxed three pieces heavier guitars returned and the audience sang along to the soulful and powerful melody skeleton backup dancers returned to join Calliope for “Go-Getters” the ending theme song of the anime “Suicide Squad: ISEKAI” and Calliope once again emerged on stage in a casual concert T-shirt and cap “Scuffed Up Age” showcased urban and savvy style first while “glass slipper” embodied the loneliness that comes with the nature of being a grim reaper after Calliope plunged the crowd into her dark world with the song “Black Sheep” as the final song and epilogue to the show Calliope dedicated the spooky “Left for Dead Lullaby” to her fans which conveyed the concert’s preluding image of falling deeper and deeper into the abyss Calliope’s evolution over the past five years is clear with this concert and she displayed the prowess and skills she gained as an artist in this mega milestone for not just herself but also paved a way for hololive production itself in its continued expansion It’s amazing that we were able to share this with you and we can’t wait to see where this journey takes us all

With her bass in hand the artist delivered some sinister bass lines alongside the live band on stage Calliope continued her rock journey with the songs "SNEAKING - revenge" and "six feet under." Towards the end of her set Calliope delivered another shift in styles with softer tunes "Last Days," "Skeletons," and "through the blue." Calliope delivered a handful of costume changes during her set which was instant thanks to the technology at hand Technology also made it possible for Calliope to merge with the live audience; in certain camera angles Calliope can be seen dancing and singing in front of everyone in attendance With the ability to perform in both English and Japanese Calliope was torn between embracing her English fans by doing more English tunes or unveiling more J-pop material for her Japanese audience Fortunately for fans of both styles of music the artist told the crowd she would continue singing in both English and Japanese as a way to showcase her real musical identity Calliope has found fame online with millions of followers but things could've taken a different turn the artist auditioned for an idol group during their final year of eligibility Calliope decided to do things her way through being a Vtuber I can be an idol forever," stated the artist Thank you for so many supportive messages!!!
