Former Guess Who guitarist Randy Bachman said his old bandtried to force the Who to change their name.

Although the Guess Who enjoyed their greatest success from 1969 through 1974, the Canadian rockers formed several years earlier and released their first album as "the Guess Who?" in 1966.Before that, they released two albums as Chad Allan and the Expressions in 1965 the same year the Who released their debut, My Generation though the words "Guess Who?" featured prominently on the cover of their sophomore LP, Hey Ho (What You Do to Me!).

Considering this timeline, one can see why Bachman might accuse the British rockers of encroaching on their territory. "When I was in the Guess Who, we found out about this English band calledthe Whoand were determined to force them to change their name," Bachman recently told Classic Rock. "So, we were in London, and the Who were playing at the Marquee club. Down we went to confront them. They were being filmed for German TV at that show, so we had to wait around for about four hours.

"Eventually, we get to meet them and say: 'Look, we were here before you. So, change your name, it's confusing people,'" Bachman continued. "Pete Townshendlooked at us and replied: 'There's the Yardbirds and the Byrds. Nobody's confused by that. So bugger off.'"

Despite their inauspicious introduction, the Guess Who and the Who later became "great friends," according to Bachman. "And that phrase 'bugger off' was our in-joke," he added. "We'd check into a hotel and find out the Who were there, so we'd call up one of the guys at 3AM and when they answered we would say: 'Bugger off!' then hang up. They'd do the same to us."

Bachman first left the Guess Who in 1970 following the release of their biggest LP,American Woman, and went on to enjoy success in Bachman-Turner Overdrive.TheGuess Whohave continued in variouslineups for the past 50-plus years,withdrummerGarry Peterson as the sole remaining original member.

Here's a chronological look at the 100 best rock albums of the '60s.

The Guess Who Tried to Force the Who to Change Their Name - Ultimate Classic Rock

J.Rockett has announced the release of a new overdrive pedal, the El Hombre.

Based on the tones of the Texas legend Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top), the El Hombre is inspired by the Tres Hombres and Fandango! albums. The pedal is stated to capture the nuances and touch sensitivity of an amp, while producing classic bluesy tones made famous by the guitarist.

The pedal features three controls, volume, gain and bite, with the bite control giving you the freedom to alter the drive style, producing a more aggressive style when turned up and a smoother tone when turned down.

With top-mounted connections, this pedal displays a very dynamic overdrive, with what J. Rockett describe as THE Texas Blues tone.

In a statement, J. Rockett has said: The El Hombre was sort of a happy accident if you will. We were heavily listening to early ZZ Top records at the time such as ZZ Tops (First Album), Tres Hombres and Fandango. This was right around the time we lost Eddie Van Halen (R.I.P).

We had learned how influenced Van Halen was by ZZ Top and we were truly listening to the music to hear those influences. It was quite remarkable how you can hear similarities not only in the guitar but in the backing vocals and the overall vibe of the music.

J. Rockett was first formed in 2006, and this marks the first pedal since the release of the Analogue Bucket Brigade in 2021.

From reimagined eyeshadow moments to Barbie beats, Rosala, Bimini Bon Boulash and Storm Reid drop the bank holiday beauty inspo in this weeks beauty round-up.

To the delight of, well, everyone, the bank holiday is finally here. With that being said we are going to go ahead and assume that you have a hectic few days of socialising ahead of you, all of which will require some gram-worthy beauty looks. Well, fear not as this weeks beauty round-up has a look appropriate for every occasion brought to you by some of your favourite names.

From Barbie-inspired full coverage glam to eccentric eyeshadow done correctly, head below to see the likes of Rosala, Bimini Bon Boulash and more in this weeks Beauty Looks of the Week

Rosala introduced us to our new favourite eye look

IG: @rosalia.vt

The only way to start this weeks round-up off was with a quick shout out to our reigning beauty queen, Rosala. Now, the singers subtle beat, glassy nails and soap brows in her latest pic may have tricked you into thinking this is a moment unworthy of a spot on our coveted round-up, but the eye art that features elevates it to the status of one of our favourite from the week. With two fine-yet-dramatic lines of crimson shadow sweeping underneath the artists eyebrows, a silhouette akin to the fox-like snatch of winged eyeliner presents itself, giving the otherwise-subtle look some serious elevation. Simple but statement-making, Rosala just dropped our go-to festival beat for this summer, and for that we are thankful.

Storm Reid lets us know that inner eye shadow is here to stay

IG: @stormreid

We all remember when Kylie Jenner broke the internet with her inner eye shadow. Having us reaching for our most psychedelic eyeshadow palettes and littering our feeds as every celebrity and their mother gave us their personal take on the look, it really was a makeup hack of the moment. Well, Euphoria actress Storm Reid is here to prove that it still is. Dropping a candid selfie on her Instagram, the actor served up glazed doughnut lips, snatched liner and seamlessly carved brows, all of which accompanied the star of the show: a flash of bubblegum pink eyeshadow. BRB, we are just dusting off our eyeshadow brushes and neon palettes.

Bimini Bon Boulash was a Barbie babes

IG: @biminibabes

If a full coverage look is what you are aiming to achieve ahead of a bank holiday spent partying the days and nights away, Bimini Bon Boulash has got you. Serving up old-school and high-intensity glam this week, the Ru Pauls Drag Race star turned to a dusty rose gold colour palette which trickled into a glossy nude lip, warm blush and striking shimmery lid, all of which contributed to the Hollywood-esque air surrounding the look. With a Barbie pink dress beautifully highlighting the hue of choice here, Bimini had us wanting to rock all pink everything for the foreseeable.

Uglyworldwide brought the heat with her beat-meets-art weather map

IG: @uglyworldwide

We are always expecting the unexpected when it comes to avant garde model and makeup extraordinaire uglyworldwide. But, even then, her latest look was one to be remembered. Painting a literal heat map onto her face yes, you heard us correctly the Instagram sensation blurred deep blue and red hues with shocking yellows in a display of facepaint akin to art. With a peroxide blonde pixie cut sharply juxtaposing the artistic display, it becomes practically impossible to look away. We will definitely be trying our hand at some facepaint this bank holiday!

The old met the new in Dove Camerons latest look

IG: @dovecameron

To round off this weeks list we thought wed give you a look at the beauty trip that was Dover Camerons latest display. Throwing it all the way back, the actress turned to the Kim K approved wet look as her new brunette locks radiated an effortless energy synonymous with the hair trend that once dominated our feeds. But, in a bid to transport the look into the now, Cameron turned to the ingenious minds over at Euphoria for a black, crystal-adorned eyeliner moment that would have Maddy and Cassie quaking in their Prada boots. Transcendent of eras, Dove killed with this most recent display.

How the role of the radiologist might change in the coming years was a hot topic of discussion at this years ECR Overture from March 2-6. Methods for easing workloads, whether radiologists should become more specialized and the value in attending more multi-disciplinary team meetings (MTDs) were all areas of debate. Experts also considered the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on radiology departments over the coming years.

Introducing a session entitled the Role of the Radiologist in 2030, Prof Regina Beets-Tan, chair of the Department of Radiology at the Netherlands Cancer Institute in Amsterdam, said:

Even though this seems so far away it is actually just around the corner and we had better be preparedit is important to look at how we can add value to radiology.

Prof Andrea GraceRockall, Clinical Chair of Radiology, Imperial College London, and Hon Consultant Radiologist at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust and the Royal Marsden Hospital, highlighted results from a recent ESR survey among radiologists. She explained:

Some 80% of radiologists believe radiologists should have a mandatory period of non-radiology clinical experience before or during radiology training. Over 90% felt it was important to have an area of subspecialization and we can also see this as a trend for the future.

Other likely trends saw possible increased training for the communication of bad news and significant imaging findings to the patient and workloads continuing to be heavy burden but with AI potentially able to assist.

Prof EmanueleNeri, Associate Professor at the Department of Translational Research and New Technologies in Medicine and Surgery,University of Pisa, stressed:

I will say clearly that we will not be replaced in our tasks by AI. One of the main impacts of AI will be in the workflow: prioritizing examinations and helping in image acquisition in terms of quality of images. I think this could save time. There are already tools that allow us to improve interpretation, but this has to be looked at very carefully because, at the end, the responsibility is always at the hands of the radiologist.

There was much discussion about the radiologist being brought into more MTD meetings by 2030. Prof Neri highlighted the problem of heavy workloads for the radiologist. He observed:

It is important not only to have enough time to attend the meetings but also to interpret results first.

And Prof Geerard LBeets, surgeon at the Netherlands Cancer Institute in Amsterdam, agreed. He said:

Radiology is important throughout the whole journey of the cancer patient and where it materializes is in the MDT meeting. It isnt helpful if the radiologist is only seeing the results for the first time, but it really adds to the discussion if they have had that time to interpret them beforehand. Sometimes it even changes the course of the discussion.

CarolineJustich and ErikBriers, of the ESRPatient Advisory Group, highlighted potential changes to the role of the radiologist by 2030 that could assist the patient.Ms. Justich said:

There is very little time for patients communication because of working non-stop. Our hope as patients is that AI will ease that a little bit and bring radiologists more into the focus of curing, with all the early diagnosis and treatments that might be possible in the future.

Mr. Briers added:

More subspecialization among radiologists would speed the processes up.

The concept of training more radiology assistants in the future was also debated. These members of staff could do all the preparation required before an MTD meeting, for example. Prof Rockall stressed:

We have a lot of extended role radiography in the UK. Because of real workforce pressures in the country, and some really expert and expertly trained radiographers, extended roles are seen as a real benefit to a department.

The incredible scene of the RAF Chinook at work at the top of the Gibraltar rock. (All images: DM Parody http://www.dotcom.gi/photos)

On Mar. 2, 2022, a RAF Chinook helicopter carried out a pretty peculiar mission when it delivered a new radar to the top of the Gibraltar rock. The ATC radar of RAF Gibraltar airfield, that serves also as the commercial airport of the British Overseas Territory, is located at the top of the iconic rock. The radar needed to be replaced, a task that could not be completed by road, as the roads to the top of the rock are too narrow for ground transportation.

For this reason, a RAF Chinook helicopter (ZA680) was flown from the UK via Portugal and undertook the lift of the massive radar, a 11.8 meter structure weighting over 8,000 kg, to the summit, site of the former Rock Gun Battery.

The Aviationists contributorDavid Parody took the stunning photos of the Chinook helicopter at work during the radar lift operation at the summit of the Rock.

According to Aquila Air Traffic Management Services that delivered the new radar to serve RAF Gibraltar, the new radar was transported as an underslung load by the Chinook in four parts. The radars rotational turning gear, two large antennae and the horn the transmit and receive section of the antenna were each lifted in four separate journeys. Also flown to the top of the Rock was a new navigational beacon.

A temporary helicopter landing platform was built at Rock Gun Battery especially for the operation. The platform allowed the helicopter to land the loads above the rough and protected ground of the nature reserve, that is known for the apes that populate the Rock and are a major tourist attraction.

The lift was originally scheduled for Nov. 21, 2021, but the operation had to be postponed due to bad weather and rescheduled.

The upgrade to RAF Gibraltars Air Traffic Management system is part of an MOD wide 1.5 billion GBP investment in to air traffic management systems, known as Programme Marshall. The programme includes a 400 million GBP investment in advanced surveillance radars and a wide range of sophisticated equipment such as tower systems, new surveillance and navigation aids and radios, with the purpose to ensure increased reliability for air traffic management, improved safety and estimated savings of 317 million GBP for the MOD over the course of the 22-year partnership with Aquila to support the new equipment.

David Cenciotti is a freelance journalist based in Rome, Italy. He is the Founder and Editor of The Aviationist, one of the worlds most famous and read military aviation blogs. Since 1996, he has written for major worldwide magazines, including Air Forces Monthly, Combat Aircraft, and many others, covering aviation, defense, war, industry, intelligence, crime and cyberwar. He has reported from the U.S., Europe, Australia and Syria, and flown several combat planes with different air forces. He is a former 2nd Lt. of the Italian Air Force, a private pilot and a graduate in Computer Engineering. He has written five books and contributed to many more ones.

By replacing legacy coding equipment across 12 lines with ICE Zodiac thermal transfer overprinters from Clearmark, Lincoln & York can now rapidly create and edit labels, enabling them to reduce changeover time between batches and cut waste caused by human error.

As one of the UKs largest coffee roasting companies, Lincoln & York sources, roasts and packs coffee for companies in the out-of-home, distributor and specialist retail markets across the UK and Europe. A privately-owned business with over 27 years experience, each day it roasts enough coffee at its British Retail Consortium AA grade-accredited roastery in Brigg, North Lincolnshire to make 1,500,000 cups.

After experiencing rapid growth, Lincoln & York sought to replace its ageing coding equipment with a more reliable and flexible solution in a bid to increase uptime and deliver higher quality prints. It contacted coding and labelling specialists Clearmark Solutions, who assessed the existing coding infrastructure and ascertained that, as well as more modern coding equipment, the company would also benefit from upgraded software to enable it to create and edit labels more quickly and efficiently. As Lincoln & York work with a range of suppliers and retailers, Clearmark recommended the flexible ICE thermal transfer technology combined with CLARiSOFT label design software.

The project saw Clearmark replace all existing coding equipment across 12 of Lincoln & Yorks lines with ICE Zodiac thermal transfer printers. This allows codes to be printed more efficiently across a range of flexible substrates, in a variety of colours, at the various throughputs required. Flexible enough to print dates in any format or size, and in any Windows TrueType font, their superior ribbon capacity means less downtime for ribbon changeovers, reducing waste and increasing production efficiency by up to 25%. In addition, the CLARiSOFT labelling software installed on each line allows operators to quickly create and edit label designs for a growing range of customers. Its built-in label error prevention feature provides added assurance, further helping to cut waste.

Each ICE machine comprises an intuitive error-proof touchscreen, making operator training a straightforward process. Clearmark also delivered comprehensive one-to-one ICE product training to two Lincoln & York operators at its Nottingham training facility.

The Clearmark solution is a considerable improvement over Lincoln & Yorks legacy equipment, which was impacting on uptime. To future-proof against further changes to the business, it has been designed with flexibility in mind, enabling Lincoln & York to meet current and future customer demand without any risk to reliability or print quality.

It is essential that we are able to change our label designs as quickly as possible to meet growing supplier requirements. The ICE Zodiacs allow us to do this efficiently without having any impact on production, says Marc Rockall, Engineering Manager at Lincoln & York.

The Clearmark team is much more reliable than our previous supplier and are only a phone call away if we have any issues, helping us to get back up and running as quickly as possible.

As a result of the responsive support provided by Clearmark and the systems ongoing efficiency and reliability, Lincoln & York plans to expand its range of ICE technology as the company continues to grow.
