“He’s acting more like himself and joking more like himself,” interim head coach
Walton obviously has kept the Warriors pointed in the right direction. Forward
“We’ve missed him,” Green said. “That’s our guy, and we want him to be around. We’re just really looking forward to him getting back, whenever that is.”
At the same time, Green took a gentle dig at the NBA’s decision not to count Warriors wins and losses on his coaching record (they are credited to Kerr).
“Luke’s done a phenomenal job,” Green said. “The NBA won’t acknowledge it, but I will: He’s got the best record, the best (coaching) start in the history of the game. He’s done great.
“But it’s a team effort, and to be at full strength, we need Steve here. With him out, everybody is switching roles. With him here, everybody can do what we do.”
Spurs lurking: Even after their historic 24-0 start, the Warriors need take only a quick glance in their rearview mirror to spot the San Antonio Spurs.
The Spurs are 21-5, just 3½ games behind the Warriors (now 24-1) in the early tussle for the top seed in the Western Conference. San Antonio sailed safely below the radar for the season’s first seven weeks, thanks to Golden State’s record-breaking winning streak.
“They’re a very good team,” Green said of the Spurs. “They have been for years, and nobody expected that to change. I enjoy watching them play.”
The Warriors do not play the Spurs until Jan. 25 in Oakland. Then they meet three times in the season’s final 3½ weeks: March 19, April 7 and April 10.

Coachella audience may have experienced an event of a lifetime as hologram performance of Tupac with lasers made it appear like Tupac was on stage with Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre. The effects were made possible by Dr. Dre teaming up with C& G company.
People are still talking about this and why you hear everyone chanting, Tupac’s back. It’s amazing what technology can do and so expect duets with all late stars to relive their performances like Elvis and of course, Michael Jackson. The possibilities are endless and the 75,000 audience at Coachella absolutely loved Tupac’s realistic performance.

“I can lick any son-of-a-bitch within the world.”
So boasted John L. Sullivan, the 1st sleek heavyweight boxing champion of the area, a guy who used to be the highest quality of yank activity for greater than a decade, and the 1st athlete to earn greater than 1000000 funds. He had a major ego, large mouth, and larger appetites. His womanizing, drunken escapades, and protracted police-blotter presence have been godsends to a burgeoning newspaper undefined. The larger-than-life boxer embodied the yankee Dream for past due nineteenth-century immigrants as he rose from Boston’s Irish operating category to turn into the main recognizable guy within the kingdom. within the approach, the “Boston robust Boy” remodeled boxing from outlawed bare-knuckle struggling with into the gloved spectacle we all know this day.
Strong Boy tells the tale of America’s first activities megastar, a self-made guy who personified the facility and excesses of the Gilded Age. in all places John L. Sullivan went, his fists sponsored up his bravado. Sullivan’s epic brawls, comparable to his 75-round bout opposed to Jake Kilrain, and his cross-country barnstorming travel within which he actually challenged all of the United States to a struggle are acknowledged in shiny element, as are his battles outdoors the hoop with a afflicted marriage, wild weight and health fluctuations, and raging alcoholism. Strong Boy supplies readers ringside seats to the colourful story of 1 of the country’s first Irish-American heroes and the delivery of the yank activities media and the country’s megastar obsession with athletes.

Fields of blueberry timber stretched again to Beaver Brook, which bubbled right into a huge pond with deepest islands. For the 1st time in a quarter-century, on the grounds that he left Annie Sullivan in 1885, John L. had a real “home” of his personal. utilizing the nest-egg that his sister had held for him, he poured the cash that he hadn’t squandered on booze into upgrading the outdated farm. He employed workmen to construct a stone bungalow simply south of the intense crimson farmhouse and outfitted a small fitness center within the barn. just like the “Big Fellow” himself, the farmhouse used to be powerful, reliable, and of good classic, courting again to the battle of 1812.

With the gloaming nestling into the French nation-state, the go back of the showers, and the struggle reworked right into a stalemate, the minds of everybody current grew to become to a draw.

The first images of the Sun generated by observations carried out using the ALMA radio telescope have been published. This is the first time that the largest radio telescope in the world has been used in this way and this is the beginning of an important expansion in ALMA’s use. The first results are details of the Sun’s chromosphere such as a sunspot twice the size of Earth.
Even before its inauguration, which happened in March 2013, the ALMA (Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array) radio telescope has been generally used to observe very distant objects, even billions of light years away, sometimes very faint, or details of solar systems that are relatively close. However, this great instrument is designed also to observe objects that are closer such as the Sun at wavelengths greater than those generally detected by solar observatories.
The use of instruments designed especially for observation of distant objects for solar astronomy isn’t unprecedented. For example, in 2014 NASA’s NuSTAR Space Telescope was used to study the Sun at X-rays. Using ALMA for solar astronomy marks the first time of a project of which ESO is a partner in this kind of research.
Not all telescopes can be used to observe the Sun, in fact generally they’d be damaged by the intense solar emissions. Even with radio telescopes cautions are needed, in this case to avoid damages to the electronic equipment following the high temperatures caused by sunlight. Years ago, a fire broke out in an equipment of the Swedish-ESO submillimetre telescope Telescope (SEST) when it was pointed at the Sun by mistake.
The ALMA radio telescope was designed for solar astronomy as well so it can be pointed at the Sun even if it’s billions of times brighter than the objects typically observed by this instrument. This allowed to observe the Sun’s chromosphere, the region just above the photosphere, that is the visible surface, at wavelengths of 1.25 and 3 mm thanks to two bands of receivers.
ALMA’s capabilities allowed to obtain various details of the solar chromosphere using the full array of antennas but also a map of the entire solar disk using just one of the 66 radio telescope antennas, a technique called fast scanning, at 1.25 millimeters. The observation accuracy and speed with a single antenna makes it possible to produce that type of map in a few minutes. These are two ways of use that complement each other.
The observations made at two wavelengths reveal among other things the temperature differences between the various parts of the solar chromosphere. It’s exactly the kind of details that can be detected with a radio telescope and is a central element of future research that will be carried out with ALMA. This instrument demonstrates once again how valuable it is for astronomy.


Cryptocurrency exchange Arbitrade buys golden hands of Mandela for $10M in bitcoin
Seller is Malcolm Duncan, a South African businessman living in Calgary, who knew Mandela
A Canadian cryptocurrency exchange has bought four golden casts of the hands of former South African president Nelson Mandela for $10 million worth of bitcoin.
Arbitrade has purchased what's believed to be the last surviving life-size impressions of Mandela's hands, each made out of nine kilograms of pure gold.
Mandela served as president of South Africa from 1994 to 1999, after having been released from prison in 1990 following a 27-year sentence. The casts were made in 2002 as part of a plan to make 27 gold impressions of Mandela's hands, one for each year of his incarceration.
But the collection was never completed, and the other versions of his hands were ordered destroyed by the man himself. He died in 2013.
The seller is Malcolm Duncan, a South African businessman now living in Calgary, who knew Mandela.
In a press release, Arbitrade says the company shares Duncan's "deep admiration for Mandela," but they are also making the purchase because of the connection to gold itself.
The company plans to release five new cryptocurrencies that will be backed by precious metals such as gold. Bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies use encryption techniques to regulate the generation of units of currency and verify the transfer of funds
"The artifacts celebrate not only the remarkable contributions of Nelson Mandela to humanity each year, but also all that has been done by South Africa in supporting gold and the mining industry though the years," Arbitrade said.
The company says it plans to exhibit the hands at museums around the world.
In addition to being a cryptocurrency exchange, Arbitrade also mines for its own cryptocurrencies, and is soon to open Canada's largest cryptocurrency mining facility in Watford, Ont., which will have 65,000 mining rigs when it's up and running.


Country music star Carrie Underwood wore $31 million in Johnathon Arndt diamonds on the red carpet at the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles Sunday.
Underwood wore a necklace that featured 381 carats of oval, pear, marquise and round brilliant white diamonds from the 2013 Johnathon Arndt Collection, the Beverly Hills, Calif., jeweler said in a news release.
The loaner bauble must have been good luck: Underwood won the Grammy for Best Country Song for her hit "Blown Away."

With a website called Bead Happily Ever After, it’s probably pretty obvious that I LOVE beads! 🙂
I‘ve been collecting and designing jewelry with both vintage and contemporary beads for years now. More recently, I’ve begun to sell beads on my website and also on etsy.
My specialty is vintage beads, but I am crazy about all kinds of beads including those created by bead artisans – both in glass and polymer clay. There is such joy in making something special with beautiful beads!
Here’s a set I’m working on that incorporates some fabulous clay beads. Notice the lovely layering of shapes on the pendant.
Aren’t the coordinating diamond-shaped clay beads pretty, too?
For accents, I’m using genuine amethysts (the rectangles), and Swarovski crystals (rounds and bicones).
As you can see by the tape on the ends, I’m still pondering the style of clasp I want. The little ziplock bag on the left holds the exact beads that I’ll use to make matching earrings. Gathering those “earring beads” in a bag is a tip I learned the hard way. It’s so much easier to do it when designing the necklace – in case there will be a delay between finishing the necklace and actually making the earrings. Trying to find exactly what you need later can be difficult, especially if you’ve cleaned up the worktable in the meantime. 😉

High paternal age and risk of psychiatric disorders in offspring
Sammanfattning: Parental ages at childbirth are increasing all over the world and later parenthood might have n egative health outcomes for the offspring. During recent year, numerous studies report links between and high paternal age and psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia and autism. However, the knowledge about this association is limited. The aim of this thesis was to gain valuable knowledge about the paternal age effect regarding its specificity, transmission and mechanism. The studies were conducted in an epidemiological setting by using multiple large population - based data sources that also enable cont rolling for a range of documented risk factors including parental, perinatal and socioeconomic variables. In our first study we reported, for the first time, that high paternal age also is associated with bipolar disorder. The risk increased monotonically with age of the father an d was, compared to younger men, highest in offspring of men in the oldest age category including men aged 55 years and older ( odds ratio = 1 .37) after adjustments. It was also evident that the paternal age effect was stronger when only analyzing individuals with an early disorder onset. In study II, we confirmed an association between advancing paternal age and autism in the offspring. More importantly, we found an association between advancing paternal age and autism risk in the grandchild. Compared to younger fathers, men who fathered a daughter when they were 50 years or older were 1.79 times more likely to have a grandchild with autism, and men who father a son at 50 years of age or older were 1.67 times more likely to have an affected grandchild. An increased burden of rare copy number variants (CNVs) has been found in individuals with schizophrenia and it has been suggested that CNVs can arise during replication. In study III, we used a sample consisting of individuals affect ed with schizophrenia and matched controls and examined paternal age in relation to rare CNVs. Although we found that rare CNVs were more common in individuals with schizophrenia and that their fathers were on average 0.75 years older than controls, we fou nd no association between rare CNVs and paternal age. In study IV, twin analyses showed that late fatherhood defined as becoming a father at age 40 years or above is under genetic influence (heritability = 0.33). However, a genetic liability for psychiatr ic disorders in men or their spouse was not associated with later fatherhood. Instead, a genetic liability for these disorders was generally associated with men having children at younger ages. In conclusion, this thesis provides valuable knowledge about advanced paternal age as a risk factor for psychiatric disorders and might have important implications for clinicians, researchers, and those affected by the disorders.

Kris Jenner has had enough of Caitlyn Jenner’s promotional campaign to bash her and the family that the former athlete had raised for the majority of his life, it’s been claimed.
Kris Jenner was already said to have been nervous about the Diane Sawyer interview that Caitlyn had booked, in what would become an ABC 20/20 special.
The interview, which aired on Friday evening, as recalled by E! Online, turned out to be exactly how Kris Jenner envisioned it — nothing but supposed lies and hurtful comments in an attempt to make Caitlyn seem like the victim in every given situation.
— EntertainmentTonight (@etnow) April 21, 2017
Kris Jenner is furious because not only did Caitlyn discuss her former sex life with the momager, she also claimed that nobody in the Kardashian household reaches out to her now that she has chosen to live her life as a transgender woman, insinuating that they don’t accept her new lifestyle.
It was unbearable for Kris Jenner to know that the woman she was married to for over two decades had yet again used a platform as big as ABC to make her look good in front of the world, to tell such intimate stories that nobody needed to know.
If anything, Kris Jenner is disappointed and hurt. She’s given the impression to friends and family that she no longer wants to be associated with the 67-year-old, stressing that there’s only so many times a person can be forgiven before one has had enough.
“It is making her feel weird that she has to go through whatever fallout comes from it. It’s more of a burden than Kris wants it to be,” Hollywood Life shares.
— The Daily Caller (@DailyCaller) April 22, 2017
In the midst of being furious about Caitlyn’s interview with Diane Sawyer, Kris Jenner is also annoyed with some of the comments made in her ex-husband’s memoir, The Secrets of My Life, where she reveals that having sex with Kris was extremely uncomfortable, Page Six asserts.
“My attitude is no different than it was in high school: I’m just not entirely comfortable with it,” Caitlyn writes in her book when referring to what sex was like with Kris Jenner throughout their marriage, making it known that she would have preferred not to engage in sexual activities with her.
In an upcoming episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Kris Jenner learns about her ex-husband’s plans to reveal her memoir in the forthcoming months. It doesn’t take long for Kris to share her concerns about the book, knowing that Caitlyn would most definitely use this opportunity to give the Kardashian family a hard time.
From making claims that her own family has abandoned her to Kris Jenner being ice cold ever since the news about her transformation was made on the previous Diane Sawyer interview with ABC, Caitlyn Jenner has certainly given off the impression that she’s getting back at her family for not being more supportive of her new lifestyle.
— Us Weekly (@usweekly) April 20, 2017
And in the midst of doing so, she certainly doesn’t mind dishing the dirt on Kris Jenner and their marriage together. Revealing something as intimate as saying that sex with Kris was uncomfortable has certainly left the momager in a fragile mindset, feeling as if her marriage with her former husband was a lie from the start.
News of Kris Jenner’s anger with Caitlyn for engaging in another interview with Sawyer comes just weeks after an excerpt from the former athlete’s book revealed that Kris reportedly always knew about Caitlyn’s plans to become a woman — even before they married.

Following a meeting in New York with Rabbi Haskel Lookstein, Rabbi David Stav, founder and president of the Tzohar rabbinical organization on Tuesday expressed his full support for the rabbi after the Petach Tikva Rabbinical Court had nullified conversions which had been performed by Rabbi Lookstein.
Also on Tuesday, Israel’s Chief Rabbi, Rabbi David Lau, overruled a decision by the lower rabbinic court, officially accepting the conversion performed by Rabbi Lookstein.
Rabbi Lookstein, the spiritual leader of Congregation Kehilath Jeshurun on the Upper East Side of Manhattan and for many years principal of the Ramaz School, also converted Ivanka Marie Trump, daughter of Republican party preumptive presidential candidate Donald Trump.
However, because in 2009 Rabbi Lookstein participated in the National Prayer Service at the National Cathedral, the Rabbinical Council of America (RCA), the primary American modern-orthodox rabbinic association, took exception to his presence, stating that “participation in a prayer service held in the sanctuary of a church is prohibited,” ruling that “any member of the RCA who attends such a service does so in contravention of this policy and should not be perceived as representing the organization in any capacity.”
Last month, a woman who was converted to Judaism by Rabbi Lookstein was refused recognition as a Jew by an Israeli Rabbinical Court in Petach Tikvah, which stirred up the ongoing international controversy over who outside the Israeli Rabbinate is allowed to perform conversions to the Jewish faith. The Israeli court simply couldn’t find Lookstein’s name on the RCA list of accredited conversion rabbis.
“This decision causes three several major problems which cannot be ignored,” Rabbi Stav said in a statement. “First, there is an explicit halakhic ruling that we should not oppress a convert. The conversion that has been nullified by the court was of a clearly well-intentioned, ‘righteous convert,’ and it is inconceivable that simply because of outright bureaucratic considerations a conversion would be nullified.”
“Second, this decision further deepens the already troubling divide between Israel and the Diaspora,” according to Rabbi Stav. “And, most troubling of all, it leads to a situation where assimilation, both here in Israel and in the Diaspora, is allowed to go unchecked. Because when we have a situation where well-intentioned converts are being disregarded simply because their conversion was officiated by a nationalist and modern Orthodox rabbi, what message does this send to those interested in converting according to halakha?”
The rejection of conversions performed by Lookstein was condemned by the Jewish Agency for Israel, which is the world body “responsible for the immigration … and absorption of Jews and their families from the Diaspora into Israel.”
Rabbi Lau said in letters to key Israeli politicians that the Chief Rabbinate Council, due to convene on Wednesday, will hear an appeal of the Petach Tikvah rabbinic court decision, adding he was confident the Chief Rabbinate’s position would clear away all the concerns regarding conversions by non-Israeli Orthodox rabbis.

Australian eyewear brand OPSM has enlisted Liam Hemsworth to front its latest campaign, entitled “Life. Focused”.
One of the spots included in the campaign features the Isn’t It Romantic star entering an OPSM store and telling the sales representative that he’s there to pick up his glasses. The latter is curious to know what they are all for, which leads Hemsworth to list some of the occasions he uses all those pairs of glasses, such as “family time, dominating, cooking, outdoor time,” and “generally staying humble”. However, onscreen images show him losing a chess game in front of a boy as part of the “family time,” playing tennis alone as part of “dominating,” rushing to extinguish a fire as part of his cooking, and going out like a star, with dozens of paparazzi and journalists waiting for him in front of his door as part of “staying humble”. “Wow, you do a lot of things,” the guy in the store says in response. Before heading out, Hemsworth remembers to give the employee a photo of him with his autograph on it.
According to OPSM, the new collection is designed to “suit your unique style and complement your face shape”.

I am very sorry to hear about your loss. There is really no right or wrong answer to this question. Everyone deals with the grieving process in different ways. For some people years of grieving is not enough, yet for others only weeks are needed to move on and start dating again. There are so many variables involved that the best answer to this question is that you should start dating whenever you feel ready to do so. Do not let others tell you that you are moving too fast or waiting too long.
Dating again can be an awkward experience and even bring out feelings of guilt, betrayal, and confusion. It can also be very hard for those who were close to the deceased spouse. Here are a few things to consider when you think about starting the dating process again:
Make sure you are dating for the right reasons: Take time to evaluate why you want to date again. Be careful of dating to fill the void or heal the pain that comes with the loss of a spouse. However, dating does give you the chance to open your heart to another person.
Feeling guilty for dating again at first is normal: You might feel like you are cheating on your late spouse. As you date more the feelings of guilt should subside over time. If the guilt is not subsiding you might not be ready to date again.
It is ok to talk about your deceased spouse in moderation: Answer any questions that the person you are dating may have about your late spouse, but don’t spend all your time talking about this. While it is ok to talk about the past some, constantly doing so may make it seem like you are not ready to move on and start a new relationship.
Remember that your date is not a therapist: Dating isn’t a therapy session but an opportunity to spend time with someone else and enjoy their company. If you find yourself talking a lot about the pain in your heart or how much you miss your spouse you might want to seek some professional therapy.
It’s ok to make mistakes when you start dating again: You might be a little rusty on proper dating etiquette but do not worry about this too much. Just try not to make the same mistake over and over. Learn from your mistakes and continue moving forward.
Realize that not everyone will understand why you’re dating again: There will almost always be someone who does not understand why you’ve chosen to date again. What matters is that you are ready to date again. I recommend reading Introducing a New Relationship to Your Adult Children for tips on how to help with this process.
Take things slow: It is completely normal to miss having the physical presence of your spouse. However, sometimes the feelings of missing physical contact can force you into a serious relationship before you are ready. Wait to make sure what you are doing is because you love the other person and not because you miss the intimacy that came with your late spouse.
Even though dating can be awkward or difficult at times, it can also be a lot of fun. When you feel ready to start the dating process again do not hesitate to take bold steps towards finding happiness and moving on with life.

In January and February, the Russian army tried to capture the small coal mining town of Vuhledar in southern Donbas.
A powerful mechanized force consisting of elite Russian marine brigades attempted to break through the Ukrainian defenses and capture Vuhledar.
If the Russian military had been successful, they would have set the stage for an operational breakthrough. Heavy casualties marked the end of the Russian offensive. The Ukrainians used this weapon system to stop Russian elite tanks and infantry.
How Ukraine “RAAMed” it’s way to victory in Vuhledar
As usual, the Ukrainian army released footage of the failed Russian assaults in the area around Vuhledar after the battle was over. Kyiv has skillfully used the information space to carry out psychological operations and also to boost internal morale.
The footage showed one Russian tank after another attempting to breach a field outside Vuhledar. As Russian tanks and other weapons systems tried to advance, they exploded. But there was no artillery hit or anti-tank missile trail.
And yet Russian tanks, armored personnel carriers, and infantry fighting vehicles kept exploding. In fact, in just a few days, the Russian military lost more than 30 heavy weapons systems in the area, and more than 1,000 soldiers were killed or wounded.
The answer to the mystery of Russian defeats is RAAM or M718 Remote Anti-Armor Mine.
Essentially artillery shells containing various anti-tank mines, RAAM is a highly effective weapon, as the failed Russian mechanized assault demonstrated.
During the assault on the Ukrainian positions at Vuhledar, the Ukrainian troops rained M718 RAAMs down on the likely course of the Russian approach.
Nonetheless, the Ukrainians continued to fire artillery-dropped mines during the Russian assaults, laying M718 RAAMs in front of and behind the Russian motorized divisions in order to cause chaos.
The failed Russian assault on Vuhledar demonstrates the difficulty of breaking into an entrenched position that is covered by artillery and mines. In fact, in the absence of air superiority or long-range fire, the options available to an army in such a situation are limited.
Ukraine employs both the M-777 155mm howitzer and the M109 Paladin 155mm self-propelled howitzer, both of which can fire the M718 RAAM.
The United States has provided about 10,000 M718 RAAMs to the Ukrainian military through various security aid packages.
Used for area denial purposes, the M718 RAAM is very effective at protecting a flank or potential route of advance without committing many troops. The ammunition is also ideal for mobile defense when the defender does not have enough troops to defend the entire line of contact adequately.
The M718 RAAM is a 155mm artillery shell that contains nine anti-tank mines. Fired from 155mm howitzers, such as the M-777 155mm gun, the M718 RAAM can spread its mines up to 10 miles away. Mines are designed to self-destruct after a set amount of time.

Valentine’s Day comes around every February with its sweet treat temptations and chocolate indulgences. The fact that this dessert-centric holiday falls smack in the middle of American Heart Month seems almost cruel at first thought. But believe it or not, you can enjoy a dessert that’s (relatively} good for your heart.

Chocolate is one sweet treat that actually has heart health benefits. Chocolate contains flavonoids, which act as antioxidants, protecting your body from the damaging effects of free radicals. Damage caused by free radicals has been linked to the development of certain diseases, including heart disease. Flavonoids can also relax your blood vessels, lowering blood pressure, which may reduce your risk of heart attack and stroke. But not all chocolate can boast the same heart health claims. Milk chocolate and highly processed chocolate products contain less of the heart-healthy flavonoids. For the heart-healthiest chocolate, choose pure dark chocolate that is at least 60% cocoa.
In addition to chocolate, this bark contains walnuts, which are high in heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. The American Heart Association recommends eating four servings of nuts each week. The final ingredient in this bark is dried tart cherries. Tart cherries are high in disease-fighting antioxidants, and they have been linked to heart health benefits, including reduced inflammation and reduced cholesterol.
So the bottom line: Can you enjoy a rich, chocolaty Valentine’s Day treat and still love you heart? We say absolutely. Just watch your portion, and enjoy 1 to 2 ounces of our heart-healthy chocolate bark, and share the rest with a loved one.
- 1 (4-oz) package chopped walnuts, toasted
- 3 (4-oz) bittersweet dark chocolate bars, chopped
- ½ cup dried tart cherries
- ½ tsp grated orange rind (optional)
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Toast walnuts on a baking sheet 5 minutes or until fragrant.
- Microwave chocolate in a large glass bowl at 50% power 2 minutes or until melted and smooth, stirring every 30 seconds. Stir in walnuts, cherries and orange rind (if using).
- Spread on a large rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Chill 1 hour or until firm. Break candy into irregular pieces to serve.

Good old fashioned Southern hospitality, charm and big smiles from locals will welcome you to 'Music City', otherwise known as Nashville. A place of pilgrimage for country music enthusiasts, Nashville has been attracting musicians, song writers as well as starlets since the 1920's and whilst country music wasn't born here, this city is certainly responsible for the evolution and popularity of the genre we know and love. The careers of some of the biggest names in the music industry started right here in the basement studios of Music Row or on stage at the famous Grand Ole Opry, and you'll notice this legacy is apparent all across town. Settle into your hotel and meet up with your Travel Director this afternoon, then retire to your room to enjoy a relaxing evening at your leisure.
Get your bearings this morning on a tour that will take you to Riverfront Park, Tennessee State Capitol and the 132 acre Centennial State Park, where you'll be transported straight to Athens as you admire the Parthenon, a jaw-dropping exact replica of the original. Icons visited, you'll then delve into the incredible musical history of the city with a visit to Music Row, stopping off at Studio B where industry legends like Dolly Parton and the Everly Brothers have all recorded albums. No Nashville musical tour would be complete without a snoop around the Country Music Hall of Fame, which traces the history of country music and proudly displays priceless memorabilia from Hank Williams and Loretta Lynn. Scout out the tastiest hot chicken and biscuits on your own this afternoon, then this evening you're off to the Grand Ole Opry to listen to a live recording of America's longest running live radio program.
Ready to continue your country music education today? If so there's no better place to head to than the Ryman Auditorium, where you can take a self-guided tour and watch music magic come to life through the 'Soul of Nashville' theatre Optional Experience. Jonny Cash fans will likely make a beeline to the museum that delves into the personal story of one of the best-selling music artists of all time, while those interested in the history of the South could opt for a visit to the Belle Meade Plantation. Here you’ll get an in-depth look into the history of the 1853 Greek Revival mansion, its grounds, and the lives of the people who once lived there, leaving you with an understanding of historical life in the South through the eyes of one of the plantations expert guides. Back in Nashville, the night is young! If you’re feeling in the mood, get out into the action and experience a good old-fashioned honky tonk under the neon lights of Lower Broadway!
From one music obsessed city to another, you'll leave Nashville this morning and travel to Memphis. Home to "The King" who needs little introduction, music is the life blood of this toe tapping city with bluesy Beale St. a fine example of this. Arriving here you'll dive straight in with an orientation tour viewing the impressive Memphis Pyramid and the historic Peabody Hotel. Next, see the Lorraine Motel, perhaps the most significant place of the entire civil rights movement, the very place where Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in 1968. With an evening free, you might want to check out our Optional Experiences. You could visit the Rock N' Soul Museum, which displays wonderfully curated exhibits telling the story of the birth of rock and soul music and groove on over to Beale Street for dinner at a lively joint that serves up Southern treats accompanied by live music, naturally.
Prepare to start your morning with a taste of the local Memphis cuisine that is sure to have your mouth watering. We hope you didn't peak too soon on last night's dinner, because this morning's Iconic Breakfast is Southern food, served with the same hospitality you'll find all throughout this charming city. You'll likely find yourself rolling out of the classic 'greasy spoon' restaurant, full of good eats and ready for all the excitement your next stop has to offer. Today will be a special one for Elvis fans as you have the chance to make the pilgrimage to Graceland. Later, arrive at Sun Studio, where Elvis was first discovered back in 1954 and where you'll experience the legacy left behind by the 'King of Rock n' Roll' himself.
It's your final day in Memphis today so be sure to make the most of it before bidding a fond farewell to the Home of the Blues. You’ll find it hard to pass up today’s Optional Experience, a visit to the National Civil Rights Museum. This museum is a complex of two historic buildings and houses extensive cultural exhibits that trace five centuries of history, including the Civil Rights Movement which will leave you nothing less than inspired by those that fought tirelessly for equality at this fascinating tribute and in-depth into American history and its troubled past.
Follow the path of the famous Natchez Trace today. Under the guidance of your passionate Travel Director, you’ll soon understand how, and why, this important thoroughfare was originally established as a footpath by Native Americans and was later used by explorers, traders and travelers, including the Ohio River Valley boatmen who were known as 'kaintucks'. We’ll arrive on the banks of the Mississippi as we pull into Natchez, where the unique architecture of the South could be further brought to life as you explore the antebellum homes that are scattered here on our Optional Experience. These large and elegant mansions were originally built as plantation homes and remained untouched throughout the plight of the South. If you feel like taking a closer look, you’ll have the chance to visit perhaps the finest standing example of an Antebellum Classical Revival mansion. The grand and palatial Stanton Hall offers a glimpse into the life of a wealthy cotton merchant.
Heading south today, travel over the world's longest overwater bridge as you journey towards 'The Big Easy'. Famed for its Mardi Gras celebrations and diverse culture, everything in New Orleans is a little larger than life. The weddings are bigger, the funerals are louder, the food is richer, and every single day is a cause for celebration. Meeting up with a Local Specialist on arrival you'll head out on a city tour. You'll also visit one of the city's many unique cemeteries, taking a peek around the elaborate stone crypts and mausoleums. Tonight, we recommend you sample some good old fashioned Creole cooking, and in our opinion there's only one place to go for the best food in town - the New Orleans institution, Dooky Chase.
Waking up with an extra NOLA induced spring in your step, today is entirely free for you to explore and perhaps try an Optional Experience. For those that are ready to get right into it, there’s no chance you’ll miss joining our Optional Experience this morning. Hit the streets on a locally led walking tour of the lively and ever so beautiful French Quarter, learning the history of this charming neighborhood before finishing off at the iconic Court of Two Sisters restaurant for their famous Creole inspired Jazz Brunch. With the rest of the day ahead of you, there’s no shortage of ways to spend your time. Head back to the cute cafes and decadent mansions of the Garden District, have your fortune told in Jackson Square or eat your way around the many incredible restaurants and café’s that dot around the city as you refuel from your adventures. If the swamps and bayous of the Mississippi are on your list, there’s the option to get out on the water with a boat trip through the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve. Led by a local guide who’ll share their in-depth knowledge of the region they’ll keep a keen eye out so you can, spot 'gators, eagles, snakes and egrets as you cruise these wild wetlands on this afternoon adventure.
It's your final full day in NOLA and the final day of your trip, so make sure you go out in style. Why not join an Optional Experience cooking demonstration to learn how you can recreate some of the city's tastiest dishes once you return home. The classes at The New Orleans School of Cooking are hosted by local chefs who share tips and stories, plus there are plenty of samples to keep appetites at bay. Jazz fans can opt into a Jazz Dinner Cruise on the Mississippi River, accompanied by the songs originally played by the Grammy nominated band Dukes of Dixieland.
With the bluesy beats of Beale Street and the smiles of Nashville still fresh in your mind, your trip will come to an end today. Delicious Southern food still fresh in your thoughts and undoubtedly richer in memories, you'll say goodbye to your new friends as you head your separate ways. If you can't bear to leave NOLA just yet, you can also choose to extend your stay at the La Quinta New Orleans Downtown.


Due to the unexpected high global demand for Mazda’s new CX-5 compact crossover, it has decided to increase production by 20%. Its production capacity in Japan for the CX-5 will be increased from 200,000 units annually to 240,000. In addition, Mazda raised its worldwide sales goal for the CX-5 from 160,000 units to 190,000 units during the fiscal year that ends on March 31, 2013.
Since the CX-5 started selling in Japan last February, orders in the country have risen to around 24,000 -- more than double its CX-5 domestic sales target for the entire year. Mazda’s dealers in the U.S. will be pleased about the added production.
At the end of June, Mazda had a 27-day inventory for the CX-5 while it had an 85-day supply for its other models. In the U.S., Mazda has sold 16,031 CX-5s through June. Sales started in late February. The CX-5 is the newest vehicle from Mazda. It’s also the first to be powered by a direct-injection 2.0-liter gasoline engine, new transmissions and lightweight chassis and frame technologies, which the company collectively refers to as Skyactiv.
Furthermore, Mazda said that it will double its output of Skyactiv engines in Hiroshima, Japan. In June, Mazda sold 19,911 vehicles, about 3% higher than last year.
Last month, CX-5 sales totaled 4,551 -- its best month since sales started in late February. The results make up for the sales drop of the majority of Mazda's other vehicles. The Mazda3 and the MX-5 Miata were the only other nameplates that have year-over-year sales increases in June. Mazda’s sales in the U.S. amounted to 143,797 in the first half of 2012, about 16% higher than last year.
This is a vehicle that looks good and performs just as well. This was the objective that Mazda set out for itself when it decided to become part of the crossover compact SUV class, a segment known to be highly competitive. In addition, Mazda also wanted a vehicle that would offer driving passion and emotion that the brand has long been celebrated for. The result is the new CX-5 which reveals an excellent mix of performance and style.
This would be the first model from Mazda to carry the design concept known as "KODO - Soul of Motion," which basically uses the idea of nature and which boasts power, beauty, and motion. The main principle behind KODO is that it uses how animals move as an inspiration and this is why the design theme has that agility, emotion, and vitality. For the CX-5, the design team at Mazda decided to use cheetahs, which everyone knows is the fastest animal on land. The designers noticed that as the cheetah prepared to run, it utilized its whole body much like a spring.
Thus, it is able to bring out a large amount of energy while ensuring grace and dexterity. It is this image that pushed the design team to use KODO in order to bring the SUVs appearance to new heights. One benefit that came out of using this particular design theme is that it made it possible to have a sophisticated exterior. This resulted in the CX-5 being able to convey better its functionality and sturdiness while showing that graceful sense of motion while increasing the anticipation of an exciting drive.
While this may be the first time it has been used in a production model, the KODO design theme was already revealed in 2010 as part of the sports coupe concept which was the 4-door Mazda Shinari. It was then used after that with the crossover compact SUV concept dubbed as the Minagi, the same model that would serve as the basis for the CX-5. By using the design theme in the CX-5, Mazda is saying that this is merely the start and a new generation of models will be using it as well. These models not only deliver more force but are faster while maintaining a more emotional motion.


On Stage-February 1970
When Elvis returned to live performances in 1969 at the International Hotel in Las Vegas and broke all existing attendance records, it was only a logical step for him to return to the desert city.
Rebooked at the International Hotel for a month long engagement from January 26, 1970 to February 23,1970, RCA was on hand to record his performances for a second live album eventually released as ,On Stage – February 1970".
This CD features these multitrack -recordings including the unreleased leftovers made by RCA. These are the original rough mixes made by Felton Jarvis in early 1970 in preparation for the upcoming second Las Vegas live album. No repairs or overdubs whatsoever. This release brings back the original feeling and atmosphere that Elvis passed on to his audience.
This is Elvis at his peak as a Live performer!
See Below for details regarding the disc being a CDR and now being replaced.
Along with 'Young Man With The Big Beat' and the book 'Elvis Files Vol.4', the deluxe 4-CD/Book combo ‘Rebooked at the International’ was without doubt one of Elvis collector's highlights of the year so far.
Unfortunately it seems that collector's demands for the original box-set exceeded the supply.
While the Opening & Closing shows were an essential part of the complete package, what keen fans really wanted were the unreleased RCA live performance multitracks, as well as the 'On Stage' original rough-mix without the repairs and overdubs.
No doubt to beat other copy-cat labels and to satisfy fans who couldn't afford the complete box-set (or never got to find a copy)Backdraft have now released a very nice single CD featuring the "best of" - and called 'On Stage - The Ultimate Edition'.
It comes as a regular digi-pack plus 12-page booklet (as shown below) featuring 16 great photographs of Elvis in action along with some informative liner notes by a Miles Pergallon.
You can read a complete review of the music within our full review of ‘Rebooked at the International’ - however the highlights here are worth mentioning.
The CD features 29 tracks and runs 75 minutes
"On Stage" The Felton Jarvis rough mix.
The mixes here are without overdubs and so present the show as genuinely recorded ‘On Stage.’ Elvis’ vocal is more upfront and the overdubbed orchestral sweetenings absent.
The overdubbed fake audience is missing BUT the real audience screams of the front row girls are much more present, adding more of the "genuine" live feel.
On all the tracks the orchestra is more in the background giving a real punch to the rockers like ‘C. C. Rider’ and the audience screaming ‘Polk Salad Annie.’
Of course we also get the full on stage banter with the crowd, plus the "Forgive us if we goof it up" that Elvis notes before astonishing ‘The Wonder Of You’
It’s fascinating to listen to these so well-known songs as they were originally recorded, like the classic "The Wonder Of You’ without the sweetenings or ‘Release Me’ with the band and Elvis genuinely "Playing it hard"!
‘Let It Be Me’ a song that I adore from ‘On Stage’ sounds very different here without the overdubbed strings and background fills and it leaves Elvis sounding much more intimate with his pleading vocal.
This version sounds raw and personal, whereas the Master version instead surrounds you with lush orchestration still pulling at your emotional heart. Both move me a lot
The overall sound quality is excellent and although this a previous version of this rough mix was released a while ago on a bootleg called ‘Good Times Never Seemed So Good’ taken from an acetate this sounds very different and has a different tracklist.
FEB 18 Dinner Show
The sound quality of both shows is excellent being ex a multitrack professional recording.
The Dinner Show from February 18 is fascinating since it was only that afternoon that Elvis and the band rehearsed the three new songs they needed to complete the new LIVE album. It is somewhat unbelievable that this was a last minute decision for new content added three absolute classics to Elvis’ concert repertoire and here you have them as first performed live on stage.
The five tracks commence with a hilarious false start to a rocking ‘Long Tall Sally’ "Wait a minute man, I ain’t ready to tell Aunt Mary nothing yet" Elvis laughs as he halts the band. In fact Elvis seems in a very humourous mood this night giggling with the audience and telling Charlie to a suggestion for "Are You Lonesome Tonight" that "I forgot that song man!".
The single version of ‘The Wonder Of You’ came from this concert, Elvis’ very first live performance of the song. Interestingly I have always thought the tempo changes mid-song as drummer Bob Lanning slows it down slightly before the second verse!
Strangely after only two attempts Elvis would not bother performing ‘The Wonder Of You’ again until the famous TTWII ‘Red Ladder’ jumpsuit August 13th 1970 version and the song being a smash hit.
‘Release Me’ in listed on the sleeve (and would be the fabulous first version) but unfortunately is missed with ‘Walk A Mile In My Shoes' being in its place. Still a very fine early version with different phrasing from elvis albeit not showing the focus of the Master version from the following day.
‘Polk Salad Annie’ – Elvis’ flu gets to him and he coughs a few times mid song but it is a very tight version with some excellent Glen D Hardin piano in the mix and tight rhythm section. A sort of fine "dress rehearsal" as the following Midnight Show would also produce the Album’s classic version. Everything was in place as long as Elvis didn’t cough or laugh! Felton Jarvis must have been on tenterhooks!
FEB 19 Dinner Show
None of the RCA recordings from this performance made the ‘On Stage’ release and right at the start Elvis points out that there is electric background buzzing coming from his microphone "A bunch of bees man! That is probably going to drive me totally insane". In ‘Don’t Cry Daddy’ the buzz returns and Elvis even suggests "We’ll let the bees do a chorus!"
It certainly is an issue that would stop these tracks from being chosen but does not distract from one’s enjoyment of the recording.
‘Proud Mary’ A cracker version – one of the very best - which has a false start due to technical problems, "We just lost all the electricity!" but doesn’t stop Elvis enthusiasm for the song singing his soul out.
While this song was also released on FTD’s fine ‘Polk Salad Annie’ compilation here the sound is much brighter (lots of cracking percussion making it sound better) and the false start was also edited out of the FTD version.
‘C. C. Rider’ also gets a full-on funky work-out, another one of the most intense versions. These mid-concert rocking versions are intriguing to compare with Elvis’ later intro versions.
Of course being early 1970 all the songs are performed with the intensity of Elvis on full-power, despite his struggle with his cold and cough. Great versions of ‘Kentucky Rain’, ‘Walk A Mile In My Shoes’, ‘Release Me’, a rocking ‘I Can’t Stop Loving You’.
Another beautiful ‘Let It Be Me’ has Elvis commenting mid-song "Don’t hold back Charlie, play!" as well as demanding a "Spotlight!" on James Burton for his solo!
One of the strangest comments is Elvis telling the audience he had only recently woken up "I get up at six o’clock in the evening" and after a fast number his mouth tastes of bacon! I’m not sure I want to know that.
During his onstage chats Elvis is in fine form joking "Anyone know what we’re doing? Cos I don’t, I lost control hours ago?" and explaining that its ridiculous to say "Hang Loose" to a woman!
Elvis also throws in two lines of ‘Funny How Times Slips Away’ saying "That’s all I know". Elvis wouldn’t record the song until June 1970, finally adding it to his concert setlist in September 1970.
Overall Verdict: If you missed out or couldn't afford the original deluxe 4-CD set then this "best of" 'On Stage - The Ultimate Edition' is for you. Twenty-nine officially unreleased tracks of Elvis at his finest live-on-stage, this is a great compilation.
Search around on EBay, your local Elvis dealers and suchlike and you should be able to find it for around US$35 or £23 GB Pounds.

How the Master saw the outsider’s inner life.
May 20, 2013, Vol. 18, No. 34 • By EDWIN M. YODER JR.
James wrote many intricate stories, long and short, but never a better one than Portrait. It is a counter-Columbian parable in which Isabel Archer, seeking personal liberation, tries to avoid the snares of class, race, money, and history; the ultimate irony is that she cannot. In her ambition to escape these ensnaring forces, Isabel is blinded by Gilbert Osmond’s subtle, sophisticated, and retiring manner, and misses his caddishness and will to dominate. Hers is not a failure of intelligence or sensibility—she is richly endowed with both. It is a deficit of worldly experience and savoir-faire which leads her to assist in her own entrapment.
Once her illusions fall away, Isabel defies Osmond and goes back to England, to the bedside of her dying cousin, but her future is left uncertain. She has promised Pansy (now buried in a convent by her father to prevent a marriage he disapproves of) to come back to Rome, and presumably does so, having again rebuffed the advances of her American friend Caspar Goodwood—but not before experiencing a blinding burst of physical passion when he kisses her farewell. Her future is left unexplored, however—to the displeasure of many readers.
Anyone who writes about Henry James, especially regarding a book as complex as Portrait, must be granted license and amplitude. Michael Gorra exploits them to the full, although his very readable guide and exposition are at times a bit overfurnished with tangents, repetition, and duplication. He is nonetheless a fine critic and never sounds those off-key notes now so common in academic criticism. Gorra finds it necessary to tip his hat briefly to the consuming prurience about James’s sexuality, though he never pretends that we can penetrate the Victorian silence that surrounds it. Sexuality would seem to be of some relevance to James’s tales of young women, especially in a story focused on a calamitous marriage. We know that he was haunted all his adult life by the tragic early death of a brilliant cousin, Minnie Temple, and no doubt her memory figured in his conception of Isabel Archer and others.
Gorra’s Portrait of a Novel is a masterly treatment of a great book. For readers who find Henry James difficult, it is an ideal primer, with its focus on James’s unsurpassed ability to enter the thoughts of his characters and propel his tales through that inner theater of consciousness which he may claim to have invented.
Edwin M. Yoder Jr. wrote about Henry James in his novel Lions at Lamb House (2007).

First-generation Geographique by Jaeger-LeCoultre Why it’s a keeper: First of all, like all of the watches I’ll be discussing, the Geographique Juro and I have done a lot of miles together! And as mentioned earlier, the innovative design of the second time zone mechanism qualifies this watch as a foundational piece – one that can be a core element of an Ceramic enduring collection. While the Maestro line is timeless and Silver elegant — reddit an embodiment of the classical music that inspired the line — the Tango collection is sporty and lively, with a youthful energy. The appeal of a perpetual calendar is not specific to this one complication but perhaps best supported by the mix of capability, design, and a dash of mid-century romance. At the heart, a QP will always be about the movement, Fiero and the rest essentially comes down to taste and execution. For a closer look knockoff at Concerto the story behind how Vacheron Constantin supports their QP Movado Knockoff Watch and others with a historic caliber, don’t skip this story from Jack. This is the most luxurious Urwerk we’ve seen in a while, despite the fun, sci-fi inspirations and obvious horological geekiness innate in the design. After silver, black and grey it’s a nice change besides; here’s hoping we see plenty more of this side of the UR-100 in the future. I can’t imagine anyone missing it. You have your regular time hands, a GMT hand, a chronograph and the date. The Sapphire Synergy historic eagle – originally positioned in its place by the company’s founder – once again reigns over avenue Leopold-Robert after undergoing a long restoration process to return it to its original Eliro beauty. The 45 mm case of this aviation-themed chronograph is crafted in precious sterling silver – a first for a Zenith Pilot chronograph. I do not care for that, but the watch itself is much better than I Rose gold ever expected it to be, and I am glad it is not a dud.
Where other models had “Breitling Navitimer” on the dial or Arabic numerals of a different font, this Breitling Aerospace reference introduced site the thicker, italicized numerals we see on the dials Movado Knockoff Watch until the early 2000s and finally had “Aerospace” on the dial.
The extract confirms the watch was delivered to NASA via Norman Morris, Omega’s US distributor at the time.
Above you can Sapphire see the SW200 movement through the exposed case back and overall, the Spinnaker Tesei is a nice leap for the brand. Gladstone was the people’s William and The Gladstone Axe is the people’s whisky. This was my first friction bezel. I Bold was apprehensive at first, but it was secure. There is definitely an Rose gold art to rotating it easily. You have to apply pressure at the just the right angle. The pip is the only lumed part of the watch. Titanium and sapphire case, steel buckle. By combining the strength of the inner steel case and the scratch resistance of the Esperanza outer ceramic case, Zodiac has aimed for a middle ground that plays to the strength of both materials. On the “after shot” the nice butler finished AGN dial really looks superb! This old battered watch looks almost new again. For more top information on Chatswood Nights visit the Luno Sport link below. However, the brand states that “ it will SE Pilot be produced in limited quantities “. The post-World War II watches for the German air force have some interesting and now/still familiar watch brand, model, and movement names. On the black dial variant, these cutouts are rendered in a vintage-looking cream color.
If I could suggest one more thing to Panzera, provide the same heavy-duty buckle found on the leather strap on the rubber strap. I don’t know if LX I can rock 38mm to be honest, but I was clone willing to give it a ride on the wrist for a few days, which I am not sure was enough. First I get the movement back in running order. The balance is swinging away with good Concerto motion but the timer will reveal how well it’s truly running. The silver metallic letters on the Series 800 steel bezel show through the white-varnished sapphire crystal ring. Armin Strom releases the Orbit Manufacture Edition – the followup to the Orbit First Edition with the novel pointer date feature. The MTM Special Ops watch, on the other hand, is simple to size right at home.

In light of its partnership with Airbus Corporate Jets, the avantgarde extreme watchmaker has created the RM 62-01 and with it Amorosa a new take on the alarm watch. Carmine Red – When only the most striking colour will suffice, look no further than this one. However, given the price point, it would have been nice to see Breitling give the Superocean something a little more special in terms of its internals — especially considering that Series 800 the brand has access to Kenissi-manufactured calibers. The response: Your question is a good one, and something a lot of people asked about. All geared up, in a RIB out to the Adriatic Sea, spit in my mask, plunging backward into the blue.
Purity’ is a word which comes to the fore when appraising the aesthetics of the L.U.C 1963 Platinum Limited Edition. There is an elegant refinement to the Defio dial of this SE Extreme watch which effortlessly communicates hours, minutes replica movado and seconds with clear diction. Ease of understanding is a given with each element of the dial distilled to the nth degree.
Moritz Grossmann has looked to its own town for inspiration re the tourbillon, equipping the Benu Tourbillon with a flying tourbillon. The flying tourbillon was invented by Alfred Helwig, a teacher at the German School of Watchmaking, Glashütte Juro from 1913 to 1954. The flying tourbillon does not have an upper Datron bridge but is supported by a cantilevered cock, bestowing replications unhindered views of the tourbillon cage in motion.

More of the same really. She points out that in the domain of media art these issues are explicitly addressed whilst in the mainstream art world they generally are not.
Why is this surprising? It isn't. The primary characteristic of the media artist is that they foreground the mediality of what they do - whether that involves new media or old. It's not the media they use that is necessarily significant but how they consider it reflexively in their practice. The same applies to how such work is theorised and historicised. Media art is media art because the media is a major consideration in its ontology.
The main stream art world operates on a different paradigm, where media are so well established that they become more or less invisible (eg: painting, sculpture, print, etc). Even some recently (but now less than) new media have taken on this mantle of invisibility (eg: video, photography, etc). Sometimes mainstream and media art cross-over and, for a couple of decades, that crossing-over was almost default, at least at the cutting edge of contemporary art (here I'm thinking of the 60's, 70's and, to a lesser degree, the 80's) when mediality was a pervasive issue in the arts (this was arguably driven by socio-political concerns). That was a time when artists were rethinking the fundamentals of what they were doing (and how) and this meant many of them were media artists (even if they didn't consider themselves to be). However, over the last 20 years or so issues of mediality have faded for mainstream artists, just as concerns about art's ontology have faded from view. Contemporary art is no longer reflexive. This has happened at the same time as the process of digital convergence has accelerated and, more or less, completed.
This last point, about how media becomes unimportant as it matures, might appear to be surprising. But perhaps it isn't, as such media become instrumental to the most banal aspects of life. Perhaps the question therefore is, what is the digital equivalent of "merda d'artista"?

The U.S. Postal Assistance (USPS) warned Pennsylvania officers in July that the state’s election deadlines have been much too limited for the service’s “supply requirements” and will guide to mail-in ballots getting delayed for a range of times.
The Philadelphia Inquirer noted that a letter dated July 29 warned point out officers that “sure deadlines for requesting and casting mail-in ballots are incongruous with the Postal Service’s offer prerequisites,” and will lead to “a hazard that ballots asked for close to the deadline underneath state regulation won’t be returned by mail in time to be counted beneath your authorized tips as we understand them.”
Current state regulation in Pennsylvania necessitates that mail ballots get there by 8 p.m. on election working day to be counted.
In a motion filed to the state’s Supreme Courtroom on Thursday, Pennsylvania election officers requested for approval to proceed counting mail-in ballots acquired as substantially as three times after election working day due to the fact of troubles about delays in just the postal assistance, the Inquirer claimed.
Pennsylvania election officers didn’t right away return a ask for for affirmation from The Hill.
Ought to the courtroom docket agree, the outcomes of 1 of the very important hotly-contested states within the 2020 election could probably be unclear for a quantity of times immediately after the election is held, main likely to uncertainty as to the victor of the presidential election.

Facts of the USPS’s warning to Pennsylvania’s election officers arrive as lawmakers on Capitol Hill have raised troubles about delays in mail offer amid Postmaster Regular Louis DeJoy’s reorganization efforts on the Postal Assistance.
Numerous Democrats and critics of DeJoy’s attempts argue the changes endanger the flexibility for states to keep out mail-in voting methods which have been expanded in a number of states simply because of issues about in-man or woman voting amid the coronavirus pandemic.
President Trump has opposed efforts to acquire mail-in voting, proclaiming repeatedly that the stick to will set off voter fraud. Even so, there is small evidence to endorse that mail-in voting effects in voter fraud.
The president moreover prompt on Thursday that he was unwilling to comply with a just take treatment of Democrats to fund the Postal Service within just the subsequent coronavirus regulations as a final result of it could assist frequent mail-in voting in November.

“Now, if we do not make a offer which means they do not get the cash. Which usually means they can not have typical mail-in voting,” the president ongoing. “They only are unable to have it. So, you previously know, variety of a crazy component.”
Trump afterward Thursday educated reporters at a push convention that he could be organized to signal coronavirus rules that characteristics funding for the postal services, having said that turned down the principle the enterprise would reverse insurance plan procedures that worry Democrats.

Jason Momoa is one of the most talented actors from Hollywood. He has proved his acting meddles as Aquaman as well as Khal Drogo. Yes, the latter is his classic character from RR Martin’s Game Of Thrones. But the journey hasn’t been easy for the actor. In fact, the struggles were real to an extent where he as well as wife Lisa Bonet were struggling to make ends meet.
Yes, you heard that right. The actor himself revealed all about it in a recent interaction. If one remembers, Jason plays an integral part as Khal Drogo, leader of the Dothraki in Season. He is Emilia Clarke aka Danaerys Targaryen’s husband and provides her the perfect base to continue her journey towards the Iron throne.
Jason Momoa was killed in Game Of Thrones’ first season and appeared only as illusions in the second season. The Aquaman actor has now revealed how limited roles he was being offered back then. Owing to the lack of work, it was difficult for him along with wife Lisa Bonet and kids to survive with the crunch of money.
In a conversation with InStyle, Jason Momoa began, “I mean, we were starving after Game of Thrones. I couldn’t get work. It’s very challenging when you have babies and you’re completely in debt.”
But this isn’t the first time that the Aquaman actor was going through something like that. Previously, when Baywatch Hawaii ended in 2001, he was out of work.
“I couldn’t even get an agent for three or four years,” shared Jason.
But it seems the actor must be happy now. From Game Of Thrones to Justice League, Aquaman, and Dune – the actor is getting back to back huge projects.
Jason Momoa is gearing up for the release of Aquaman 2. The Warner Bros project has been in controversy off-late. For long, discussions regarding Amber Heard’s presence were on-going. Despite winning the battle against Johnny Depp in the libel suit, it is being said that her role will be limited in the DC extended universe film.


It’s not nice to hit people when they’re down, but in the case of mortgage-scandal implicated Richard Holbrooke, maybe we should make an exception. Holbrooke, who’s been angling to become secretary of state in a new Democratic administration, once again reveals that by temperament he is less diplomat and more partisan hack. In Sunday’s New York Times Book Review, toward the end of what to that point was a most readable review of Michael Dobbs new book on the Cuban missile crisis, he tacks on this, totally, utterly gratuitously:
It is hard to read this book without thinking about what would have happened if the current administration had faced such a situation — real weapons of mass destruction only 90 miles from Florida; the Pentagon urging “surgical” air attacks followed by an invasion; threatening letters from the leader of a real superpower and senators calling the president “weak” just weeks before a midterm Congressional election.
Life does not offer us a chance to play out alternative history, but it is not unreasonable to assume that the team that invaded Iraq would have attacked Cuba. And if Dobbs is right, Cuba and the Soviet Union would have fought back, perhaps launching some of the missiles already in place. One can only conclude that our nation was extremely fortunate to have had John F. Kennedy as president in October 1962.
Not only are the two situations utterly not comparable, but Holbrooke isn’t even curious enough to wonder why, if say they were comparable, it took JFK no more than two weeks to resolve the crisis whereas Bush spent a year and a half just getting ready to move against Saddam Hussein.

Gas-Phase Ions Produced by Freezing Water or Methanol for Analysis Using Mass Spectrometry
journal contributionposted on 05.08.2014, 00:00 authored by Vincent S. Pagnotti, Shubhashis Chakrabarty, Beixi Wang, Sarah Trimpin, Charles N. McEwen
Introducing water or methanol containing a low concentration of volatile or nonvolatile analyte into an inlet tube cooled with dry ice linking atmospheric pressure and the first vacuum stage of a mass spectrometer produces gas-phase ions even of small proteins that can be detected by mass spectrometry. Collision-induced dissociation experiments conducted in the first vacuum region of the mass spectrometer suggest analyte ions being protected by a solvent cage. The charges may be produced by processes similar to those proposed for charge separation under freezing conditions in thunderclouds. By this process, the surface of an ice pellet is charged positive and the interior negative so that removal of surface results in charge separation. A reversal of surface charge is expected for a heated droplet surface, and this is observed by heating rather than cooling the inlet tube. These observations are consistent with charged supercooled droplets or ice particles as intermediates in the production of analyte ions under freezing conditions.

Multitalented Light of Day director Charles Nordeen leverages his considerable Creative Director and VFX Artist acumen to craft affecting, meticulously composed visuals for some of the biggest brands around. Campaigns for USA Today, Coach and more demonstrate his ability to combine artfully rendered VFX with live-action, and showcase his knack for eliciting spot-on performances. As co-founder of New York-based VFX house Light of Day and prodco Light of Day Productions, and director of features, spots, music videos, web content and TV series, visual storytelling is in his blood. From the director’s chair, he not only knows what he can get on set, but also how what’s captured there can be efficiently enhanced or fixed in post.
Nordeen is also an actor of some repute, a background that informs his directorial approach with performers both real and CG-generated.
He directed his first feature film, The Crack Down in 2004 (unreleased), which he also produced, co-wrote and acted in. He has brought the same hands-on enthusiasm and efficiency to his work ever since for projects with pop icon Justin Bieber, fashion brands such as Coach, news outlets like USA Today featuring comedian Josh Gad, an original TV series on Ovation Network with famed rock photographer Mick Rock, V-Blast Sports Nutritionals featuring the 2010 NBA Rookie of the Year Tyreke Evans, and James Patterson’s “Nevermore” novel promos for young adults.
Nordeen recently broke into the interactive directing realm, leading a full production—from developing the creative to directing to post to backend coding—of HiFromTaylor.com, a user-specific video (USV) promoting Taylor Swift’s new fragrance. His direction of the “Move Your Body” PSA in support of First Lady Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” initiative earned him praise directly from The White House. He also wrote, directed and provided next-generation motion graphics for “The Mane Event,” a 90-second public service announcement and promotional spot for Veterans of Foreign Wars. Additionally, he directed a fashion film for Faherty Brand shot entirely with natural light.
Nordeen’s upcoming directorial work includes the aforementioned Coach and Ovation Network series “On the Record With Mick Rock,” and a campaign for Hungry Jack.
