Family safe after fire threatens home and business - Communities ...

FAMILY members are relieved after no one was hurt in a fire which damaged their home and threatened their business.

The fire broke out in High Road, Willesden, just before 9am this morning (Thursday), in a flat above Tanya's Take Away which is owned by the Edwards family.

Mother Julia Edwards, 33, said she had just left the flat to take her younger daughter to school when she found out their home was on fire.

Her elder daughter, 18, was still in the flat getting ready for work.

Mrs Edwards, who owns the take away with her husband, said: "I rushed back when I found out and when I got here the firemen were inside so I haven't been up there yet. I don't know what to do. My older daughter has gone to work now, she is fine."

Zahid Hussain, who owns the GP Food Store opposite the site of the fire, saw flames and smoke coming from the building.

He said: "I saw a pillar of smoke coming out and I think someone called 999 straight away. I was worried it would spread, it is very dangerous. The buildings can catch fire very quickly."

A spokesperson for London Fire Brigade said: "We were called at 8.56am and the fire was under control at 9.33 in a second floor flat above a shop in Willesden High Road. 20 per cent of the second floor flat was damaged. No one was involved and the cause of the fire is under investigation. We send four fire engines to the scene."

A spokeswoman for London Ambulance Service confirmed that they were not called to the scene.

More information to follow from the police.

Live Music Can Take Many Forms and Have Many Fans - Artipot

A live music performance is presented to an audience and can be known by many names. A single musician or a small number of independent musicians performing in a small venue is occasionally called recital. This is typical of music schools, where students will, one at a time, perform their best pieces for friends and family. Small ensembles, like quartets, quintets, and octets will frequently perform in recital halls, as well. Larger musical ensembles, such as choirs, orchestras, and community bands may perform in venues such as municipal auditoriums or churches with facilities large enough to accommodate the group. Other venues include nightclubs, concert halls, amphitheatres, entertainment centers, parks, and sports stadiums, depending on the size of the group presenting the live music. Concert is an all-inclusive name for music presentations in front of an audience.

The musical genre may dictate the 'look' of the live concert. The venue and the individual performers also have an impact on the presentation. For instance, an opera or symphonic concert may be attended by an audience dressed in formal wear, such as tuxedos and evening gowns. At a symphonic concert, the orchestra is frequently dressed in formal wear, as well. A rock concert, conversely, may have performers or band and the audience dressed casually in denim wear, shirts, and casual shoes. Live music performed in a nightclub atmosphere may have an audience dressed in fancy clothing.

Many live music presentations in large venues are theatrical in nature, with elaborate stage lighting and special effects such as laser light shows, pyrotechnics, and theatrical smoke or fog. Stage sets that include prerecorded video or image magnification systems are common at these concerts. Other special effects at popular music concerts may include prerecorded accompaniment, special musical instrumentation, or audio enhancement of the singer's voice. Backup dancers and singers often wear impressive costumes that compliment the main performer's apparel. The headline performer may be costumed in a flamboyant style that makes them immediately recognizable.

Live music is commonly the main theme of a festival. Many musical genres have festivals celebrating a particular genre, for instance, a jazz festival. These festivals generally take place over many days and include many live music performers and groups. Most of these festivals are held in outdoor venues, such as large parks or fairgrounds.


It is becoming more common for live music to be presented in a venue one might not traditionally expect. Symphonies and orchestras present outdoor concerts in parks and amphitheaters during the summer. Genre-specific festivals may be found a cruise ship. A marching band might perform in tandem with a rock band in an arena. Well-known classical music artists have been found giving impromptu concerts in train and airline terminals, or on busy street corners.

Buskers or street musicians present a different form of live music. While busking is not confined to music, many musicians perform in public places for gratuities. These street musicians are common throughout the world. Dating back to antiquity, street musicians have performed in every major culture. Gratuities received for presenting live music on the street may have been the artist's only income. Before recorded music, a busker's only road to fame and fortune was performance and discovery on the street.

Today, concerts and other live music presentations charge money in the form of admission tickets. Depending on the artist or group, tickets can be very expensive, but still sell out quickly. It is not uncommon for a wildly popular band to sell all the tickets in a matter of hours. The revenue from these ticket sales is divided between the artist or band, the show's producers, the venue, and the organizers. Historically, the ticket sale was a musician's primary revenue source. Recorded music and videos contribute to an artist's income in modern times.

Attending a live music event is a popular choice for an evening of entertainment. Such an evening may start with dinner and drinks then proceed to the concert venue. Some of the larger venues offer refreshments, alcoholic and other beverages, and snacks. After the concert, attendees may go on to enjoy more live music at a nightclub or dance club.

Britain's gone crazy ? royal baby crazy

As Kate and William await their big day, royal baby eccentricities abound.

By Jeremy Ravinsky,?Correspondent / July 10, 2013

Police officers talk to royal supporter Terry Hutt today outside St. Mary's Hospital Lindo Wing in London, as he arrives to stake his place outside the building where Prince William and his wife Kate are expecting their first child to be born in mid-July.

As Catherine Middleton and her husband, Prince William, prepare in private for the imminent arrival of their first child, it appears as though the rest of the country ? and even some outside it ? has gone royal baby crazy.

Jewel-encrusted baby gifts, betting on names, royal baby-themed crackers ? these are just a few of the various eccentricities that have abounded in recent weeks as the world watches with bated breath for Britain?s future monarch.

Bets have been running for weeks now on all things related to the upcoming birth, from the sex and name of the baby to even the day it will happen. According to The Week, bookmakers are currently saying tomorrow, Thursday July 11, is most likely to be the big day.

And though the sex of the baby is still unknown ? the Duchess and Duke of Cambridge?prefer to be surprised ? a surge of interest has pushed Alexandra to the fore. Other girls' names in the running include Victoria and Diana, reports the Telegraph. The most widely speculated boy's name is that of Kate?s younger brother, James.

The child will be given the title Prince or Princess of Cambridge. But regardless of gender, he or she will be third in line for the throne, since Parliament passed a law mandating that a female heir cannot be overtaken by a younger male relative.

Gamblers aren?t the only ones spending money on the royal baby. Sudocrem, which makes skin care creams,?has commissioned British jewelry designer Theo Fennell to design a jewel-studded charm bracelet that also serves as a diaper-rash-cream holder for Kate, reports Headlines and Global News. The bracelet costs a reported $15,000.

And that's just one of the gifts the royal couple has received. As HNGN continues:

So far, Kate Middleton and Prince William have received everything from a cardboard box from the Finnish government to a knitted kangaroo from Australia's [former] Prime Minister Julia Gillard, and a crate of organic baby food. PETA gifted the Duke and Duchess a faux-sheepskin baby blanket complete with a little stuffed animal giraffe, and Finnish social security service, Kela, sent the new parents a "baby box" that contains rompers, leggings, a hooded bath towel, hairbrush, diaper rash cream, a picture book, a snowsuit, teething toy and ... condoms!

Other than gifts, Kate and William can expect a deluge of unsolicited advice from the public. According to the Telegraph, parenting website Mumsnet has asked its readers to tweet advice to the soon-to-be mother using the hashtag ?#tips4kate.? The best tweets will be compiled and published in a book that will be sent to the Duchess and Duke of Cambridge.

Some of the advice, however, has come from an unlikely source. Nicole ?Snooki? Polizzi, former star of reality TV show ?The Jersey Shore? and recent mother, has posted a public letter offering her advice to Kate, reports CBS. Here?s what she had to say:

"In the beginning, right when you take your royal golden nugget home to the castle is the most exciting experience of your life. I couldn't wait to wake up in the middle of the night to take care of my little prince Lorenzo."

"But that lasts for about a few days. Then it's like, 'I love you but OMG stop crying! I'm exhausted.' The lack of sleep you will get used to -- just do your makeup, put a tiara on, and you'll look beautiful as usual," she added.

At least the royal couple will not be the only recipients of baby-related goods. According to the Huffington Post, the Royal Mint will be distributing silver coins to all children born on the same day as the royal baby. Only a limited amount?? 2,013 coins?? will be minted though, so new parents will have to act fast in order to get one.?

The baby will be born at St. Mary's Hospital in London, where both William and his brother Prince Harry were born.

EU confonts Washington over spying allegations

BRUSSELS/BERLIN???The European Union has demanded that the United States explain a report in a German magazine that Washington is spying on the group, using unusually strong language to confront its closest trading partner over its alleged surveillance activities.

A spokeswoman for the European Commission said on Sunday the EU contacted U.S. authorities in Washington and Brussels about a report in Der Spiegel magazine that the U.S. secret service had tapped EU offices in Washington and Brussels and at the United Nations.

"We have immediately been in contact with the U.S. authorities in Washington D.C. and in Brussels and have confronted them with the press reports," the spokeswoman said.

"They have told us they are checking on the accuracy of the information released yesterday and will come back to us," she added in a statement.

Der Spiegel reported on its website on Saturday that the National Security Agency had bugged EU offices and gained access to EU internal computer networks in the latest revelation of alleged U.S. spying that has prompted outrage from EU politicians.

The magazine followed up on Sunday with a report that the U.S. secret service taps half a billion phone calls, emails and text messages in Germany in a typical month and has classed its biggest European ally as a target similar to China.

Revelations about the alleged U.S. spying programme, which became public through documents taken by fugitive former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, have raised a furore in the United States and abroad over the balance between privacy rights and national security.

The extent to which Washington's EU allies are being monitored has emerged as an issue of particular concern.

"If the media reports are correct, this brings to memory actions among enemies during the Cold War. It goes beyond any imagination that our friends in the United States view the Europeans as enemies," said German Justice Minister Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger.

"If it is true that EU representations in Brussels and Washington were indeed tapped by the American secret service, it can hardly be explained with the argument of fighting terrorism," she said in a statement.

GERMANY TAPPED

Germans are particularly sensitive about government monitoring, having lived through the Stasi secret police in the former communist East Germany and with lingering memories of the Gestapo of Hitler's Nazi regime.

On Saturday, Martin Schulz, president of the EU Parliament and also a German, said that if the report was correct, it would have a "severe impact" on relations between the EU and the United States.

"On behalf of the European Parliament, I demand full clarification and require further information speedily from the U.S. authorities with regard to these allegations," he said in an emailed statement.

Some policymakers said talks for a free trade agreement between Washington and the EU should be put on ice until further clarification from the United States.

"Partners do not spy on each other," the European commissioner for justice and fundamental rights, Viviane Reding, said at a public event in Luxembourg on Sunday.

"We cannot negotiate over a big transatlantic market if there is the slightest doubt that our partners are carrying out spying activities on the offices of our negotiators," Reding said in comments passed on to reporters by her spokeswoman.

The European Parliament's foreign affairs committee head Elmar Brok, from Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democrats. echoed those views.

"The spying has taken on dimensions that I would never have thought possible from a democratic state," he told Der Spiegel.

"How should we still negotiate if we must fear that our negotiating position is being listened to beforehand?"?

Biden gives Republicans a tea party label

RICHMOMD, Va. (AP) ? Vice President Joe Biden continued a busy political pace Saturday, appearing with Virginia's Democratic gubernatorial candidate at the swing state's premier party fundraiser and ridiculing this fall's conservative Republican statewide ticket as extreme captives of tea party ideology.

Biden brought about 1,000 Democrats to their feet repeatedly at the Jefferson-Jackson Dinner barely four months ahead of the nation's only competitive governor's race. His appearances at state fundraisers haved evoked speculation that he is laying his footing for a 2016 presidential bid.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we stand for equal rights and women's rights," Biden said. "With virtually zero support from the Republicans, the president and I have moved the country from the worst recession since the Great Depression to 38 months of private-sector growth."

With Democratic gubernatorial nominee Terry McAuliffe at his side, Biden took aim at McAuliffe's opponent, state Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, who won the GOP nomination with strong tea party support and his socially conservative ticket mates.

"There is so much they stand for that is so at odds with the value set of Virginians," Biden said.

The vice president warned that a GOP victory in Virginia would only galvanize the tea party's grip on the GOP in Congress, where he said even longtime moderate Republicans are fearful of a primary challenge if they don't do the tea party's bidding.

"They are so afraid of a challenge by the tea party that they vote against what is the right vote. Imagine what they will do to Barack and me if Terry McAuliffe loses," he said.

A McAuliffe victory, he said, would "send a strong signal to Republicans across America that there's no reason to be afraid of these extreme guys."

Before speaking to activists who paid $175 or more per ticket, Biden joined McAuliffe, a longtime confidante of Bill and Hillary Clinton, in surprising patrons at a Richmond restaurant, shaking hands before wolfing down two plates of fried whiting.

Among other campaign events this season, Biden aided Democratic Rep. Ed Markey in a Massachusetts special election ? Markey won, thus keeping Secretary of State John Kerry's old seat in Democratic hands ? and held a series of closed-door "donor-maintenance" events in Washington.

Sen. Tim Kaine, elected on the same Virginia ballot as President Barack Obama last fall, said it's too early for Democrats to take sides in a potential nomination contest between Biden and Hillary Clinton, but he counseled both to try pragmatism over progressive partisanship.

"I think the Virginia Democratic success model is, we'll let the other guys be the ideology people and we will be the work-together, compromise, make-things-happen party. That's been the model that has allowed Dems to win," said Kaine, like McAuliffe, a former Democratic National Committee chairman.

In speeches warming up the crowd, Kaine and Sen. Mark Warner congratulated gay-rights activists for the ruling that cleared the way for same-sex marriages in 13 states but not in Virginia, where a 7-year-old amendment to the state Constitution prohibits it. And both hailed the immigration reform bill that they supported ? it now faces an uncertain future in a conservative Republican-led House.

The Cuccinelli campaign joined the Virginia GOP in using Biden's visit as an occasion to attack the ticket for Obama's clean-energy initiative, warning that it will devastate Virginia's struggling coal industry and drive up utility bills.

"With no economic plan or message to tout, Vice President Biden and Terry McAuliffe doubled down on an empty strategy of division and false attacks tonight," the campaign said in a statement that referred to the "Obama/Biden/McAuliffe War On Coal" and government-run healthcare as "harmful to job growth and economic opportunity in Virginia."

State GOP Chairman Pat Mullins called it "the most anti-coal slate of candidates ever fielded in the history of Virginia," a distinction intended to lock up the rural, rugged but independent southwestern tip of the state for the GOP in a neck-and-neck governor's race.

Republicans weren't alone in protesting Biden's trip. About three dozen environmental activists opposed to construction of the proposed Keystone XL pipeline stood on a street corner as Biden's motorcade passed, waving placards that read "Say No to Big Oil" and chanting "Hey, Joe, you ought to know, Keystone pipeline's got to go."
