"Like The Chameleons, they should be playing stadiums, or should've at their time. This album is one of the standards of great American music. Some of the songs here are up there with some Frank Sinatra tracks, some Bing Crosby moments. Like 'Unsatisfied', for instance, that's a pop standard worthy of Billie Holiday. Again, they couldn't seem to get out of their own way for a period of time. The thing with The Replacements is if you ask Wayne Coyne, Michael Stipe or J Mascis, they were the ones that would say: ""The Replacements, that would be the band to be in."" They were everybody's band before they made their own band. They almost would have been what The Velvet Underground was at the time for the bands around them. They also had that catalysing effect of being crazy - they had a nonchalance that most could only dream of. At times they had a recklessness, which put them a few steps behind where they should've been, but that was The Replacements. And it was the first time that the bands we loved actually made a real record. Their songs were going to stand the test of time, songs that we were all going to cover. I know it was like that being around a lot of the bands during the mid-'80s. They had that magnetism Sonic Youth had, but had songs we could all cover, sing and play. Now you hear stories of them playing to 200 people at Coachella and you can't believe how it didn't translate to the younger generation."

Several teenagers encounter an ominous looking building housing a curious wax museum in their neighborhood one fine day. The proprietor is an evil Willy Wonka of sorts who invites them in for a look see. Once inside they discover the curious life-like looking exhibits which peak their individual curiosities. They soon discover the chilling truth. Once the velvet rope guarding each individual chamber pulls itself aside, an unsuspecting young person is transported to the specific realm depicted from the outside. These could include the mummy, the Phantom of the Opera and even the Marquis de Sade.Not only must they try and escape and not get caught by the evil creatures within, but they have to discover the overall diabolical plan for their destruction.

I had forgotten about this 80s cheesy horror flick until a recent stroll though Amazon Prime. The main reason for watching is the practical effects, They were cool by 80s standards; albeit a bit cheesy now. Having said so, I would still much rather have practical effects rather than bad CGI which completely takes you out of the scene. At least with practical effects, they are being executed on set so the actors can interact with them rather than staring at a blank wall.

There was some decent gore and semi funny moments as well. Parts of it reminded me of a Evil Dead type camp where they were not trying t take themselves too seriously, but I do not know if that as their intention.

We first met Joel in The Captain's Pet, where the story involved Wid and Captain Kell. This time, Joel has gone to a space station with his Master as Firth has become ill. They are hoping that the healing waters of the station will enable him to recover. Lalith, the ruling matriarch of the space station, decrees that Arath is in charge of Joel. He is thus passed from one Master to another, with everything that goes with that. Arath is a strong character, with his own set of standards and foibles. These two come to an understanding, and Joel also makes friends with a cadet called Wen. Just as he thinks his life is bearable, he uncovers a plot which could change everything.

This was exceedingly well-written, with a fast but smooth pace that builds up to a climactic ending. There was a twist with the females that literally had me laughing out loud. Joel and Arath have a satisfying ending to their story, but I hope to see more of them in the future. With no editing or grammatical errors that I found, this is a wonderful addition to the Alien Slave Masters series. These books come with a Reader's Advisory - please take note of it as these are not to everyone's taste!

Driving India's Clean Water Agenda: The Role of STP Plant Tenders

Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs) are critical infrastructures that filter and purify wastewater, ensuring it's safe to release back into the environment. In India, the demand for clean water has intensified with rapid urbanization and industrialization. As a result, the construction of STP plants has seen significant growth in recent years.

STP Plant Tenders play a pivotal role in this expansion. These tenders are essentially invitations for companies to bid on projects to build or upgrade STP facilities. Through competitive bidding processes, the most qualified firms are selected to execute these projects.

The impact of STP Plant Tenders on India's water infrastructure development cannot be overstated. By facilitating a transparent and competitive procurement process, these tenders attract top talent and ensure that the best technologies and practices are employed in STP construction.

Furthermore, the growth of STP plants has far-reaching benefits beyond clean water provision. It contributes to environmental sustainability by reducing pollution and protecting natural water bodies from contamination. Additionally, it encourages public health by minimizing the spread of waterborne diseases and improving overall sanitation standards in communities.

In summary, STP Plant Tenders serve as influence for India's quest for clean water and sustainable development. By harnessing the power of competitive procurement, they drive innovation, efficiency, and accountability in the construction and operation of STP facilities, ultimately benefiting millions of people across the country.
