Time After Time – Chet Baker
With lyrics by Sammy Cahn and tune by Jule Styne, the song Time After Time was written in 1947 and rapidly became a jazz standard. Trumpeter and singer Chet Baker certainly took a shine to it and recorded many versions over the years. I already posted one version from 1956 here. Here's another excellent one, from Belgium TV in 1964.

Apart from the rest of the story, I hate this "The University of X says something". What it means is the Management of the University of X says something, but the Management is not and never will be "The University" and it should not presume to speak on behalf of the staff and students who are.

The Number of the Beast
It won't last past tomorrow, so I thought I'd post this today: According to the Book of Revelation (Chapter 13 Verse 18): Here is wisdom: Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man; and his number is six hundred threescore and six. Does this mean that the Open Journal of Astrophysics is officially a beast?

Today was the last day of the last round of matches in the County Championship. Here is the Table as it stands at the end of the last round of matches:

Statement - Gavin Bazunu

Representing my country means everything to me. I have the utmost respect for every single one of my team mates, the Manager, his staff and the Irish people

However I have reached a decision that I have hot taken lightly. I am a man of strong faith and try my best to be a person of character and principle therefore 1 feel it would be wrong to participate in the upcoming fixtures against Israel.

My decision is based purely upon my personal belief that the killing of innocent people is wrong.

It is important to note that my stance is not in opposition of the Israeli people or the Jewish community but against the atrocities in the region.

There are few times where you get a chance ir ife to stand up for something bigger and strongly believe that this is one of them
