WATCH HERE: Mike Parry reacts to Oasis reunion Oasis have decided to remove one of their most iconic songs from their upcoming reunion tour setlist due to its connection with convicted paedophile Gary Glitter. which opens their iconic 1995 album (What's The Story) Morning Glory? quotes lyrics from Glitter's 1973 hit Hello Oasis’s front men brothers Noel, 57 and Liam, 52, Gallagher announced they would take to the stage together for the first time in years in August 2024. Their Live '25 Tour is set to kick off in Cardiff on July 4, which will see the Britpop legends perform at venues across the UK, including Manchester's Heaton Park, London's Wembley Stadium and Edinburgh's Murrayfield. Oasis will drop a classic song from their reunion tour Following the UK dates, the band will head to America, South America and Asia in 2025, marking the end of the Gallagher brothers' 16-year feud. The reunion comes after Oasis sensationally split in 2009 following a backstage bust-up that devastated their loyal fan base, seemingly marking the end of the brothers' 16-year feud. Fans are expecting to hear renditions of the group's best hits performed live, the group have decided to drop Hello. A source told The Sun: "The lyrics of the song would obviously have been a good fit for the reunion tour but the band have decided to leave it in the past." In the outro of "Hello", Liam repeats the line "Hello, hello, it's good to be back, it's good to be back" while the melody of Glitter's original plays underneath. Due to this, Glitter and his record producer, Mike Leander, received a writing credit on the Oasis album alongside Noel Gallagher. "It would be inappropriate to play it given its connotations to Glitter and his convictions," the source added. The song Hello references lyrics of disgraced pop star Garry Glitter Glitter, 80, whose real name is Paul Gadd, was jailed for 16 years in 2015 for abusing three girls between 1975 and 1980. His offending first came to light in 1997 when he was caught with 4,000 child sex abuse images. He has also served time in Vietnam for abusing two girls. Glitter was released in 2023 but returned to prison just weeks later after breaching his parole conditions. The Parole Board blocked his release in February 2024, ruling that he remains a risk to the public. View this post on InstagramA post shared by Oasis (@oasis) Despite the excitement about Oasis reunion, reports suggest the brothers haven't fully buried the hatchet, with sources claiming they will be spending time separately after shows. A source with a guest list ticket told The Sun: "You might be seeing Oasis on stage but you will not be seeing Liam and Noel together afterwards." Nevertheless, spirits remain high as the tour approaches. "The spirit is really high in the Oasis camp," a source said. Both brothers have expressed positive sentiments about working together again, with Noel saying of Liam: "He's alright, he's on tip-top form."

Read our Privacy notice Liam Gallagher has responded on social media after it was reported that the Oasis singer and his brother Noel are to have completely separate backstage green rooms and afterparties on their band’s forthcoming reunion tour The once-warring siblings, who formed the storied rock band in 1991, recently performed together for the first time in 16 years at a London working men’s club. While the brothers are clearly on better terms, The Sun reported that tour organizers have taken steps to keep them apart backstage The publication quotes a source as saying: “You might be seeing Oasis on stage but you will not be seeing Liam and Noel together afterwards Each of them had a VIP list where their friends and famous fans could buy their tickets But depending on which brother you got your ticket off it’s their green room and after-party you’re invited to “So if you’re on Noel’s list but fancy going across to say hello to Liam it’s going to be a case of trying to blag entry It seems like they are totally separate events It’s gutting for people who want to hang out with both of them but it seems they’re keeping it all at a distance.” Liam responded to the reports on X/Twitter, writing: “After party’s are for w***ers I’m getting straight of after the gigs get my beauty sleep this level of sexiness doesn’t happen by staying up talking bollox to bellends.” Oasis famously split in 2009 following a huge fight backstage at the Rock en Seine festival At last month’s show at the Mildmay club in Stoke Newington the pair apparently arrived and left separately and spent just an hour at the venue that initial performance will provide reassurance to fans with tickets to their massive stadium tour It has been reported that their brief show was filmed and will be used as an ad for sportswear giant Adidas Fans have been clamouring to learn what songs will appear on the Oasis setlist for their tour, which will include several dates at Wembley Stadium in London and in their hometown of Manchester Enjoy unlimited access to 100 million ad-free songs and podcasts with Amazon Music If you sign up to this service we will earn commission This revenue helps to fund journalism across The Independent They will then head out to concerts in the US Noel revealed that rehearsals were about to begin and praised singer Liam for being on “tip-top form” The Oasis ‘25 tour will coincide with the 30th anniversary of the band’s second album, (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?, one of the biggest-selling LPs by a British act of all time.

The Stone Roses, in particular, were a notable influence on early demos like ‘Take Me’ but Noel Gallagher managed to imbue the band with his own unique songwriting sound when he joined the ranks of Oasis in late 1991 From there, Gallagher established his songwriting voice which, at least in the run-up to Definitely Maybe in 1994, was illustrated by a deep appreciation for the British invasion rock of the 1960s, in addition to a punk attitude. Anthems like ‘Bring It On Down’ captured Oasis’ rebellious persona during those early years but that abrasion didn’t seem to resonate with widespread audiences in quite the same way as the more expansive follow-up Featuring some of Gallagher’s all-time greatest songwriting the band’s sophomore album was the one which established them as titans of rock in a global sense the album firmly defined the inherent sound and attitude of the band better than any other album It could certainly be argued that ‘Some Might Say’ is the stand-out track from that release at least in terms of summarising the spirit of Oasis he spoke about his frustration with cutting the track from the band’s live show “I would like to be doing ‘Some Might Say’ but Liam just can’t sing it anymore,” he claimed because that’s probably the best Oasis song that we’ve got that “That probably says more about Oasis than any other song ‘Some Might Say’ perfectly encapsulates the self-affirming optimism that Oasis were so good at getting across rejecting the banality of everyday life and finding the determination to march to the beat of your own drum that the song is often hailed among Oasis’ defining works or that it earned the band their first number-one single upon its initial release back in April 1995 the song has enjoyed such an enduring popularity that it has recently reached the top of the charts once again A reissue of the original single now tops the vinyl singles chart in the UK speaking both to the lasting legacy of that incredible anthem and the ever-increasing excitement over the band’s upcoming reunion Despite Gallagher’s claims in 2000 that his brother could no longer sing the chorus of the track Liam Gallagher has been performing the track for years in a solo capacity it only seems natural that the song will be included on the setlist for the band’s extensive world tour particularly given the fact that it still defines Oasis better than any other track Hongje Stream’s waterfall isn’t natural — but it's got enough vibe to pull in locals and tourists As you stroll along Hongje Stream in western Seoul the gentle sound of flowing water grows with each step while the breeze carries the scent of grass and spring flowers These are signs that you're approaching the city's hidden oasis where time slows and your thoughts fade simply by watching the water move It is the "Hongje Steam Artificial Waterfall" in Seodaemun-gu 60-meter-wide concrete structure built into the cliffs of Mount Ansan the human-made waterfall poured water into a pool below At parasol tables on the sandy ground in front of the waterfall each enjoying a quiet reprieve from hectic city life “I like just sitting here and zoning out while watching the waterfall,” said Kim Soo-rin “It’s nice to have a place close to home where I can enjoy nature without having to travel far.” The traffic noise from the ring roads above the stream was softened by the rush of water turning the waterfall area into a quiet escape in the heart of the city The Hongje Stream Waterfall was constructed as part of the Seoul Metropolitan Government's large-scale restoration project between 2006-2011 to revive the Hongje Stream which ran dry in the mid-1990s as a result of rapid urban development The city revived Hongje Stream by channeling water from beneath the Han River to the stream’s upper section The artificial waterfall along the stream operates by pumping groundwater through pipes to the peak of the structure The water is then collected below and recirculated allowing the waterfall to run year-round without relying on external sources Each season gives the waterfall a new look while winter transforms it into a glassy ice sheet A two-story cafe overlooking the artificial waterfall has also gained popularity among foreign visitors as an Instagrammable spot Repurposed from an old parking lot and warehouse Cafe Pokpo draws tourists with its outdoor terrace and large glass windows that offer panoramic views of the artificial waterfall the cafe had attracted 1.4 million visitors as of October 2024 “I didn’t expect to find a waterfall in the middle of Seoul It’s pretty incredible," said Marie Schafer Next to the cafe is a small library called "Pokpo Chaekbang," which houses around 1,500 items Visitors can enjoy reading with a full view of the waterfall through large glass windows The space is open to the public at no cost a short walk across stepping stones toward the artificial waterfall leads to a tree-lined trail where visitors encounter a large wooden waterwheel that reflects the restoration project’s focus on sustainability and ecological renewal As one of Seoul’s emerging urban landmarks the waterfall often serves as a hub for cultural programs Seodaemun-gu hosted various attractions around the waterfall themed photo booths and a space-out competition “This area brings together the vibrancy of the city and the serenity of nature,” the Seodaemun District Office said in a statement “By organizing diverse cultural programs here throughout the year we hope to make it a must-visit spot for both Seoulites and travelers from around the world.” Discover Seoul's hidden spots and the stories they hold 108 steps up and Seoul's hidden side unfolds beneath you Noel and Liam believed to have filmed promo video at Mildmay Club in

arriving at the Mildmay Club in Newington Green, north London on Thursday where they are believed to have filmed a promotional video for this summer’s sold-out Oasis reunion tour According to the Sun and made enough noise to provoke the ire of local people and 30 years after the release of their bestselling second album In a joint statement after the tour’s announcement the band said: “The guns have fallen silent The brothers are thought to be back in each other’s good graces with Noel confirming to TalkSport earlier this week that rehearsals for the tour will begin in the next few weeks The UK leg of the tour will include seven shows at Wembley Stadium in London as well as five in the Gallaghers’ home town of Manchester before ending in South America in November The tour made headlines

Neighbours complained about the racket as the Oasis brothers filmed in North London on Thursday Frontman Liam, 52, was beaming as he rocked up while unsmiling Noel, 57, arrived soon after wearing shades outside the Mildmay working men’s club in Stoke Newington, North London One local was complaining about the racket from the club even before they turned up — and things became even louder when the rock ’n’ roll star ­siblings got to work A source said: “Noel and Liam are still Shakermakers and they drove one of the neighbours mad with the noise a resident next door came out and said they needed to turn the bass down “But it’s Oasis - they’re only going to turn it up - and they did when Noel and Liam started up.” The building had been locked down, with staff sworn to secrecy about the Mancunian brothers getting back together again for Thursday’s hush-hush performance. Last week The Sun On Sunday revealed the look for the ads was based on Noel and Liam’s love of the brand — and that their 1994 hit Live Forever was one of the songs chosen for the campaign A source added: “Adidas have pumped a serious amount of money for Noel and Liam to promote their clothes as part of the tour “The shoot at the Mildmay was basically an Adidas advert which will be used to highlight their shows — as well as the clobber “The end result will be part of a huge campaign this summer and the video and pictures will be used at the concerts too "Noel and Liam are massive fans of the brand and the promo video will show old shots of them in Adidas clobber as well as wearing new clothes from the brand.” Liam was seen arriving at around 1.45am on Thursday His older brother Noel turned up 30 minutes later with just his driver and was on brand in a bright blue Adidas top Insiders said they stayed for just over an hour before leaving separately just before 2pm An onlooker added: “Members of the public were doing double takes when Liam arrived followed by Noel “With the music blaring out of the club too people were desperate to work out what was going on It comes ahead of their hugely anticipated gigs — with the first one in Cardiff on July 4 Noel appeared on talkSport yesterday and confirmed he had spent the previous day with Liam ahead of rehearsals for the tour We’re just getting ready for rehearsals to start now in about three weeks and then we’ll see what happens Noel went on: “We’re just getting ready for rehearsals to start now in about three weeks and then we’ll see what happens.” Oasis shot to fame with their 1994 debut album Definitely Maybe They sold more than 70 million records worldwide and clocked up eight UK No1 singles and just as many UK No1 albums But the brothers’ relationship became increasingly fraught and they split up before they were due to play a gig in Paris in August 2009 Noel said in a statement: “It’s with some sadness and great relief to tell you that I quit Oasis tonight but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer.” The brothers then traded insults for years - with Liam comparing Noel to a “potato” and branding his new ban High Flying Birds the “high flying turds” Noel called his younger brother “a fat man in an anorak” However rumours of a reunion started in early 2024 — and The Sun revealed last August that Oasis were getting back together again — to the joy of millions of fans They will play 19 shows in the UK and Ireland this summer, all of which sold out in minutes, before touring the US, Australia and South America across September The band haven’t all played together in a long time but when it comes to performing Oasis tracks Everyone involved in the comeback had to sign non-disclosure agreements — with Noel and Liam meeting in secret to have a photograph taken announcing the Live ’25 tour, Last month The Sun revealed that bandmates Andy Bell, Gem Archer, Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs and new drummer Joey Waronker would be joining them on stage A source said of rehearsals: “The sessions are looking to start around mid-May "The band haven’t all played together in a long time but when it comes to performing Oasis tracks “These sessions won’t always include Noel and Liam “It’s just a question of making sure that everyone is up to speed and that they have the set-list tracks nailed down.” Richard Ashcroft and Cast have been confirmed as the support acts The reunion is also being made into a film — with Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight at the helm Insiders said that it will feature footage of Noel and Liam on stage Our journalists strive for accuracy but on occasion we make mistakes.

It follows reports that the brothers would have "totally separate" after parties following the highly-awaited gigs Liam Gallagher has responded to claims that he’ll be kept apart from Noel during the upcoming Oasis reunion tour Reports emerged earlier this week that organisers for the world tour had taken measures to keep the formerly estranged brothers separated while backstage The Sun claimed that Liam and Noel each had a separate VIP list for friends and “famous fans” to buy tickets but “depending on which brother you got your ticket off it’s their green room and after-party you’re invited to.” The publication went on to allege that they would be “keeping it all at a distance” and holding “totally separate events” following the gigs each night it seems that Liam has dismissed the claims in a post on X/Twitter yesterday (May 3) “After party’s are for wankers,” he wrote “I’m getting straight of after the gigs get my beauty sleep this level of sexiness doesn’t happen by staying up talking bollox to bellends.” After party’s are for wankers I’m getting straight of after the gigs get my beauty sleep this level of sexiness doesn’t happen by staying up talking bollox to bellends — Liam Gallagher (@liamgallagher) May 3, 2025 After a long-running feud, the Gallagher brothers came together for some filming in a London pub last week – reportedly to shoot footage for a promotional film for the forthcoming tour It followed the brothers being snapped arriving at the working men’s Mildmay club in London’s Newington Green on Thursday (April 24) in what was reportedly a filming session for an upcoming Adidas campaign Recently, sources close to Oasis revealed to NME that the band’s line-up on the tour will include Noel, Liam, bassist Andy Bell guitarists Gem Archer and Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs and drummer Joey Waronker Original drummer Tony McCarroll is not involved in the comeback tour and recently shared a message with the band and their fans writing: “The circle has started again lads A new generation ready to start a journey of listening I’m a bit jealous of that blank canvas they’re about to start on.” I can’t wait to see how it all goes down,” he expressed (I better stop there as I’m not sure who else) Good luck with everything If the drummer fancies a stage partner for Supersonic at Heaton Park Stereophonics frontman Kelly Jones also recently revealed to NME that Noel has been back writing new material in the studio “I’m assuming he’s doing some writing for either his stuff or if they’re [Oasis] gonna bring out a couple songs BALTIMORE — Baltimore welcomes Artscape with a new project called "Urban Oasis."

Studio Paolo Ferrari—already engaged on another Red Sea Project property Desert Rock in the Hejaz Mountains—won the competition to outfit the villas “I knew the guest rooms had to be forward-looking but I didn’t want them to be overly expressive,” founder and principal designer Paolo Ferrari begins too.” It turned out that solving the first challenge—linking the outer shell to the space inside—also helped achieve the balance Ferrari envisioned “The need for connection made it important to bring polished steel into the interior,” he says “That led us to look at the material in a fresh light handled almost as if it were liquid—poured into sculptural forms that include side tables and headboards with integrated nightstands that curl around each bed Most spectacular is the wall-mounted bar: a gleaming silver cabinet resembling a giant chrysalis that opens gently like a blossom to reveal an interior lined in rich crimson leather “There’s something intentionally perplexing about it because you have no idea what it is,” Ferrari notes “But it also has a joyful quality of surprise and discovery.” the centerpiece cabinet is intriguingly mysterious rather than disconcertingly alien—sleek technology imbued with natural warmth and human craftsmanship Ferrari’s cocoonlike interiors extend this aesthetic and precision engineering of the outer shells but rendered in a restrained materials palette that connects to nature Joining the fluid steel forms are travertine floors “It’s about using materials in new and unexpected ways,” Ferrari concludes Rockwell Group was hired to outfit the five restaurants and bars “Working with domed spaces was technically challenging,” Rockwell partner and project lead Brad Zuger acknowledges and widely varied according to the space’s program.” A couple of the restaurants illustrate what Zuger means brings the colors and textures of the island’s gorgeously austere landscape indoors is as mesmerizing as a tide-swayed kelp forest Its biomorphic pattern is echoed in the bespoke oak-parquet flooring while sage green and similarly organic hues enrich the custom furnishings suggesting the delicate tracery of fish bones while a glittering chandelier evokes their iridescent scales It floats above the crudo bar—a semicircle of chiseled natural stone with the heft of an Attic monolith This echo of the ancient past in a contemporary setting helps give guests the experience Zuger hopes for: “They should feel as though they’ve stepped into another world.” ROCKWELL GROUP: HARAM KIM; LAUREN TUDOR; GRACIE ZHANG STUDIO PAOLO FERRARI: STUART MCQUARRIE; JOHN GAITAN; LUCAS STANOIS; CRAWFORD NOBLE; JOANNA WENDERSKA; RAJESHTA JULATUM; DIPRA SHETTY; SARAH YAO DEPA GROUP: CUSTOM FURNITURE WORKSHOP; GENERAL CONTRACTOR FROM FRONT MCH INTERNATIONAL: CUSTOM RUG (GUEST ROOM) a self-sustaining timber structure by the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia’s Valldaura Labs Kengo Kuma creates a rhythmic three-dimensional façade of repurposed copper plates for Tokyo café Wakuni Shoten Oasis have cut 'Hello' from their reunion tour setlist due to its connection to convicted sex offender Gary Glitter Oasis have made a quiet but significant change to their setlist ahead of their long-awaited ‘Live ’25’ reunion tour — axing the track “Hello” due to its ties to disgraced glam rocker Gary Glitter which opened the band’s iconic 1995 album (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?

Graham Coxon's love for American guitar bands would take Blur through the post-Britpop era. a trip around the UK on a bill that also featured My Bloody Valentine The Jesus And Mary Chain and US grunge heroes Dinosaur Jr so they were very much lumped in with the waning "shoegaze" trend they would head to America for a string of shows that would make them feel even more out of place leading Damon Albarn to start exploring more English themes in his lyrics With the arrival of the album Modern Life Is Rubbish a year later complete with a press shot that bore the slogan "British Image 1" Manic Street Preachers - You Love Us (Heavenly Version) Their outsider status always makes them stand apart from the genre but Everything Must Go was a key album of the Bripop era But take a listen to their second single to the indie label Heavenly The band had the looks: Richey Edwards and Nicky Wire toyed with gender stereotypes in their clothes and make-up while the song itself is a self-aggrandising retro tribute to The Clash the New York Dolls and - in the original Heavenly version only - Iggy Pop courtesy of an ending that deliberately rips off the classic riff from Lust For Life But the Manics weren't really part of the Camden scene (mind you neither were Oasis) and therefore this feels like just an early signpost towards Britpop This Liverpool band have been name-checked by Noel Gallagher for their help in the early days of the Oasis story; Gallagher met bassist Tony Griffiths who helped the Manchester lads make their famous demo tape Griffiths and his brother Chris helped Oasis create arrange their early material which was a key part of the success of the debut album Definitely Maybe Window Pane was issued as a teaser for the band's debut album for CBS Records and while it still has that ever-present baggy shuffle there's a nod to classic 60s songwriting that has a direct link through to Oasis The Real People probably lean a little too far to the Oasis arm of Britpop - there aren't many Bowie influences here Is this classic single the source? Like The Real People, The La's were Scousers, and this simple acoustic song sounded incredibly out of place in the indie landscape of 1988, which saw many bands trying to fill the void that The Smiths had left There was something perhaps too naive and basic about the song to fit the cynical 80s which is why it struggled to Number 59 in the UK charts on its initial release When the track was reissued in line with the long-awaited arrival of The La's self-titled debut album Frontman Lee Mavers struggled to deliver a follow-up album and The La's floundered His comrade John Power left the band at the end of 1991 and re-emerged with Cast who found an audience ready and waiting for them See more More Features North Fort Myers 12: The Green Wave (20-6-1) came out on top in a slugfest against the top-seeded Red Knights (17-7) for the District 5A-11 title Abigail Hynes hit a solo home run for the Red Knights Alison Smith and Liliana Hertzog drove in a run each Oasis 1 (4 innings): Paige Betterman had two hits including a home run Crimson Lawrence brought in three runs without a hit Payton Breadmore held the Sharks to one run on one hit and no walks Kyra Cavender homered to give Oasis (13-13) its run Copyright © Cape Coral Breeze | Contact | Terms of Use | Privacy Policy secretariat@globalinitiative.net Avenue de France 23 – Geneva, CH-1202 – Switzerland As Ukraine continues to resist Russia’s full-scale invasion the port city of Odesa presents a paradox: while under frequent aerial assault many aspects of life appear remarkably normal This report explores how organized crime has not only survived but thrived in one of the country’s most strategically significant cities and reopened ports have created an oasis for criminal economies guided by one rule: anyone can do business as long as they do not interfere with others This ‘free city’ model has allowed Odesa to emerge as a hub for scam call centres synthetic drug production and tax evasion surrounding lucrative grain exports The study delves into a troubling overlap between legitimate business and criminal enterprise the booming grain trade – critical for Ukraine’s economy – is plagued by fraud shell companies and collusion with sanctioned actors At the heart of this is the use of cash to conduct large transactions depriving the Ukrainian state of an estimated $3 billion between May 2022 and May 2024 Odesa’s role in conscript smuggling has grown as draft evasion surges Call centres have become one of the city’s most profitable illicit ventures targeting victims across Europe and beyond Some rogue actors from the city’s volunteer units have also helped facilitate the resurgence of the night-time vice economy moving drugs and sex workers to clients during curfew the report warns that Odesa is at risk of becoming a template for criminal capture of public funds Billions of hryvnias in aid are earmarked for rebuilding infrastructure and cultural landmarks in the city these funds may fall into the hands of corrupt networks This report offers insights into how illicit economies evolve during conflict and why stronger responses are needed now to prevent long-term damage secretariat@globalinitiative.net Avenue de France 23 – Geneva, CH-1202 – Switzerland Design e Creative Coding by Café COMMUNITY PARTNER That’s So Tampa has been the most trusted local resource for discovering All Things Good in Tampa Bay John Niven’s debut play explores rivalry between the two British bands who vied for the No 1 spot in the charts in 1995 It was the great Britpop showdown in the summer of 1995 billed as a contest between cheeky chaps and lairy lads a new play is to revisit the fierce rivalry between Blur and Oasis when both British bands put out a new single in the same week and competed to grab the No 1 spot in the charts but for a few days it was a decision that defined you: whether to spend £2.99 on Oasis’s Roll With It or Blur’s Country House The Battle is the debut stage play of novelist and screenwriter John Niven who said of the era: “Music was so central to the culture that two pop groups could dominate the entire summer the evening news and the front page of every newspaper in the country music has “splintered into a billion different TikTok feeds” now based on streams and downloads as well as CDs and vinyl does not bring the nation together as its Sunday afternoon radio broadcasts once did hilarious and revealing comedy about two of the best bands of all time” and I remember her falling out with friends over which band they loved more this story has been in the back of my mind and I was delighted that John Niven agreed to write it because there is no more qualified or hilarious chronicler of this world we have a fearless team recreating the sweaty mid-90s carnage of the Battle of Britpop” Casting for The Battle has not yet been announced.

high-tech computers and monitors — 36 stations to be exact — and more sit in beanbag chairs in front of a wall of interconnected screens set up to play the Xbox or the Switch This is the Carolina Gaming Arena The gaming space was made possible by the expert behind-the-scenes work of Carolina Housing which provides IT help for Carolina’s residential communities and Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs Amy Johnson (right) greet incoming students and their families during move-in on August 12 The arena was designed for students of all skill levels to come together to play games Games available for free range from Fortnite to League of Legends — and if someone doesn’t know how to play the friendly student staff is there to help along with the ResNET team and Matthew Belskie of the Office of Arts and Sciences Information Services Hyde said resident advisers and staff members noticed there was a large gaming community with no dedicated home on campus Many students were using the lounges in Sitterson Hall but the infrastructure wasn’t there to support so many people playing games simultaneously “We had already done a Carolina Makerspace in Carmichael Hall and an art studio in Morrison so this is the next space where we felt we could serve a niche and a void that students were requesting but also provide a clear asset to our residential program,” Hyde said In addition to all of the Carolina team’s hard work the arena would not be possible without the generous contributions of Lenovo which has its operational headquarters in Morrisville as well as all the accessories to accompany them Carolina is the first school in the ACC to have a gaming arena head of communications and public relations for Lenovo Lenovo has an existing relationship with Carolina but specifically chose the University to build its gaming arena because of how the University differs from other schools and the perfect place is the University,” Ferrell said Other schools were focused on launching stellar varsity teams Carolina was focused on engaging students from all walks of life “One of the reasons that it’s so important to us is thinking about the spirit of inclusivity,” Ferrell said You have the opportunity as a student — whether you’re a gamer or not Bryson Loflin is a first-year Carolina student and a residential computing consultant who works shifts at the arena He said the arena is an important resource for students many of whom couldn’t bring their PCs with them to campus to take a break from schoolwork and have some fun “They come to college in this new environment and they’re leaving that part of themselves at home or they just can’t access it,” Loflin said “I think it’s one of the best ways to have fun and express yourself because people really have an outlet through games.” Another goal behind creating the arena is to gradually integrate esports into Carolina’s curriculum While the fundamentals are already being taught many professors aren’t gamers and don’t know how to connect their lessons back to what students want to learn “What we’re seeing from a trend is that students are already engaged,” Palumbo said “Professors and teachers and faculty are actually saying students are coming to us to learn certain things.’” Lenovo is working with the University to give instructors the resources they need to be able to teach students what they need to know for a future career in esports Palumbo said that many students who had never tried gaming would flock to esports were they exposed to it as an option There are currently professors from several departments working with the arena to incorporate esports into their curriculum including the ergonomic design of gaming chairs business management around gaming brands in esports eye-tracking devices to improve game play and gamification and design One professor hopes to have the class present its senior design project in the arena one goal of the arena is to introduce all students to the world of gaming which can be not only a fun break from coursework but also a career Another goal is to tackle some of the issues that exist within the gaming community By providing free access to high-end PCs and a staff trained to be informative and inclusive the arena is working to close those gaps in the Carolina community “That way we can connect students who have never gamed before and who are very intimidated by it with players who are incredibly competitive and maybe don’t have as much awareness of how they come off to the rest of the community,” Hyde said “We’re trying to bring everyone towards the middle.” the arena hosts gaming tournaments and other nights “There’s no reason to be anxious about coming here if you’re not a gamer,” Loflin said The dean

While it would be a pretty fitting song after all this time Liam and Noel are not including it in the tour this summer “The lyrics of the song would obviously have been a good fit for the reunion tour but the band have decided to leave it in the past," said a source LADbible has reached out to the band for comment the brothers were spotted in public together for the first time in yonks as they were snapped arriving at a working men's club in Newington Green in London They were filming promo for their new tour despite the fact that all the tickets in the UK and Ireland sold out almost immediately A source close to Noel told The Mirror: "Noel is often in and out of the studio working on things he is a singer songwriter so it's only natural "But Liam is a singer and he has a long list of dates ahead of him with Oasis this year so he will not be overdoing rehearsals "After a big solo Definitely Maybe tour your last year the main thing his voice needs at the moment is rest." Following that meet-up, Noel appeared briefly on talkSPORT speaking to Alan Brazil of all people when he was asked how Liam is doing Oasis will play at Manchester's Heaton Park and Dublin's Croke Park before moving on to the America Despite being one of the last members to join the group Noel knew they needed a certain ex-factor to set them apart from the other British rock bands of the time Everyone was still trying as hard as they could to be ironic to keep up with the alternative crowd half a world away but you could tell that the Manchester legends meant every word they sang about when Definitely Maybe finally came out no one should ever attempt to keep that hot streak forever and while What’s the Story Morning Glory was a massive success and has been heralded as a classic there has been no greater division amongst a fanbase when it came to Be Here Now Despite having some of their biggest hits from the time the band were clearly not taking care of themselves to the point where every song feels like the result of too much cocaine flying around the studio The band were at the top of the world and was treated in the same way that legendary acts like U2 were but when someone spends that much time at the top Standing on the Shoulder of Giants was always going to be a comedown Noel had already lost half his band when making the record but he knew he couldn’t spend the rest of his days chasing the same Britpop sound he had already done That kind of Beatles pastiche had become a lot more passe by the 2000s, and for Noel, the only way for him to carry on would be to completely restructure what the band were about, saying “I wrote the first three Oasis albums all before I had a record deal So I never had to sit down and reinvent the band until 2000’s Standing on the Shoulder of Giants it’s not like the band released their version of Kid A or anything A lot of the album fits in line with Oasis’s sound with a bit more of a psychedelic layer to it but looking at the next few records they put out Noel seemed to correct himself a bit too much Heathen Chemistry was ended up leaning too hard into the stadium rock angle and while Don’t Believe the Truth is the closest they ever came to their 1990s glory years there were moments when they seemed to be trying a bit too hard to sound like their old selves including a few shameless Beatles pastiches So while Oasis did find their feet throughout the 2000s up until their breakup it would have been far more interesting had they continued down the road that Standing on the Shoulder of Giants started They might not have become as psychedelic as someone like Animal Collective or Tame Impala but their music would have definitely been considered ahead of the curve had they continued down that road for a few more albums Thousands in Centre County Lose Power After Severe Storms Man Dies by Electrocution in State College After Severe Storm Damaged Power Lines Road Closures Continue

populated room houses plants that date back over 100 years Some plants have rooted directly into the ground which have been left behind as a visual marker of growth Victorian-style greenhouse over [the conservatory] but it was torn down when the space expanded,” Marsh shares snails and a toad named Toadifer — adds to the room’s charm and transforms it into a full ecosystem Another popular spot is the greenhouse’s flower room this section features vibrant plants under bright lights Visitors can admire fragrant citrus trees and colorful blooms all while learning about the plants’ biology Perhaps the most surprising aspect of the greenhouse is its dedication to parasitic plants which Marsh notes is somewhat of a specialty In addition to housing parasitic plants for research by Penn State’s Center for Parasitic and Carnivorous Plants the greenhouse has a few on display — including mistletoe and cassytha Marsh often challenges visitors to search for these plants on tours of the flower room Students and visitors are encouraged to interact with the plants in more than just a visual sense Tours of the greenhouse are designed to engage multiple senses smell unique scents and learn about the biology behind each specimen A favorite among visitors is the “popcorn plant,” whose leaves smell like buttered popcorn when rubbed “There’s a small percentage of people on the tours who have a certain genetic makeup and the plant doesn’t smell like buttered popcorn,” laughs Marsh educational thing you can find at the greenhouse.” Between the intriguing welwitschia (which continually grows two leaves throughout its lifetime) the sarracenia (carnivorous plants native to Pennsylvania and found in Black Moshannon State Park) or even delicate cacao flowers (which will eventually become chocolate) Buckhout Greenhouse has something to interest anyone who steps inside and beautiful plant combine to create a sense of connection to the past and present of plant biology

They’re certainly getting on at the minute, with Liam telling his fans he’s loved working with Noel again. The brothers will start rehearsals for the shows in less than a fortnight, with their former bandmates Andy Bell Bonehead and new drummer Joey Waronker joining them to brush up on the classics My band mole told me back in March that the brothers would start their rehearsals in the middle of this month “The band haven’t all played together in a long time but when it comes to performing Oasis tracks I hope the wheels won’t be coming off anytime soon Look out for your first newsletter in your inbox soon The best of New York straight to your inbox We help you navigate a myriad of possibilities Sign up for our newsletter for the best of the city By entering your email address you agree to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy and consent to receive emails from Time Out about news Sign up for our email to enjoy New York without spending a thing (as well as some options when you’re feeling flush) By entering your email address you agree to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy and consent to receive emails from Time Out about news, events, offers and partner promotions.

"Over the past five years of working for the Mojave Desert Inventory and Monitoring Network within the park service I have significantly grown my skills and abilities in natural resource science I have had the pleasure of assisting and leading many vegetation monitoring efforts in many different national parks Expanding my skills by assisting other crews with hydrology and bat monitoring has been invaluable for my future endeavors I feel fortunate to have been able to explore the beautiful nooks and crannies of the desert through my career at MOJN I will forever value my time in this position; it is the most important work experience I’ve had in my career thus far working at MOJN has been the best workplace experience I have had and I am happy to have made some lifelong friends along the way." but I am returning to Mammoth Cave for the summer to help with bat counts I have my sights set on graduate school in Iceland with a focus on Geothermal Energy Production I am grateful for the experiences and folks that I have met at MOJN and hope to stay in touch." They result from interactions between soil particles and communities of cyanobacteria lichen and bryophytes (mosses and liverworts) Biocrusts are one of the oldest terrestrial communities and have long been paving the way for other plants to grow in desert ecosystems A number of important ecological functions depend on them including stabilizing soil to protect it from wind and water erosion and providing sites for seedling establishment This microscopic community of organisms is vital for soil health in the desert and is well worth protecting and foot traffic are all major threats to biocrusts Damaged crusts can take centuries to recover The Mojave Desert Network (MOJN) performs detailed monitoring of biocrust communities “Biocrust is at the forefront of ecological monitoring in the West,” says MOJN’s Vegetation Ecologist measuring plant cover provides useful information but the change is much slower than what we see in biological soil crust,” he adds Jeff explains that the overall diversity and frequency of biological soil crust is indicative of landscape health; widespread and diverse biocrust cover generally indicates a healthy and resilient vegetation community This year the MOJN veg crew will implement biocrust monitoring at the new Integrated Upland plots in Death Valley Our excitement over the intriguing topography of the soil surface has grown as we’ve become acquainted with the strange and delicate world rising up in a few millimeters of soil The bat monitoring crew kicked off the summer capture season in March we use mist nets to trap bats so we can screen them for the fungus that causes white-nose syndrome We spent our first week of white-nose syndrome screening mist-netting throughout Lake Mead National Recreation Area and Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument That was followed by a week spent capturing bats in Death Valley National Park the team headed to Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument The first few weeks of bat monitoring has been full of awesome volunteers The crew finished up the season with trips to Mojave National Preserve and Joshua Tree National Park Download the NPS app to navigate the parks on the go.
