This article is dedicated to all the people who either currently own a Pulsar 200cc, or had owned it sometime or like me a plain admirer of this wonderful motorcycle and last but not the least to people who hate Pulsars and consider them crap.
In 2007, while the whole India was waiting for the launch of Pulsar 220fi, which Bajaj displayed in the 2006 Auto Expo, Bajaj auto silently launched the Pulsar 200, at first it didn’t make any sense to me that why another 20cc upgrade over the Pulsar 180, but for the company it made a lot of business as this baby filled the gap b\w the 180 and the later launched 220 very well.
This Baby is a Looker
To me, Pulsar 200 remains the best looking Pulsar ever that came out of the Pune plant. The tank extensions that jelled very well with the trademark Pulsar tank, the split seats, the low handle bars, the rear set foot pegs, the meaty exhaust, the 120mm rear tyre, the distinctly styled headlamp, the tank protector, all these made it a hell of a looker.
Pulsar 200 showed us how a street fighter should look, a naked bike which was a drool maal, though FZ16 has completely redefined the term naked bike now.
The Pulsar 200 performed like a typical Pulsar, the engine grunt was similar to the other Pulsars in the family. The engine which was a bored out version of the Pulsar 180, was the first one to feature an oil cooler to provide better performance. The engine was tuned for amazing low end and mid range performance while the top end also had decent grunt. The major glitch that I had with the bike was the gearbox, no matter how much I tried I couldn’t get the neutral in 1 time, it always took me some time by either loosening the clutch or moving the bike to get into neutral. Another concern was the rear drum brakes, i never felt those were enough to stop the bike, it completely lacked bite. Apart from these issues the bike was a stellar performer.
The Bad Times Start
The year 2008 saw the resurgence of Yamaha in the country and the two motorcycles it launched took the whole motorcycle community by storm, the products were the awesome Yamaha R15 and amazing FZ16. The launch of these two amazing machines had the most adverse effect on Bajaj, for the first time in the history, Bajaj auto’s sales fell and the company lost market share.
The Younger One Grows
A response from Bajaj was inevitable, and it came in the form of the whole Pulsar line up undergoing through a face lift, the major being the elder brother 220 going back to the carburetor for breathing – to become cheaper and more value for money while the younger sibling 180 getting nearly everything that Pulsar 200 had, the tank extensions, the split seats, a 120 section rear, fatter forks from the 220 and the engine getting a power increment as well.
End of Road
This whole thing led to an overlap of prices b\w the 220 and 200, resulting in Bajaj stopping the production of Pulsar 200, a sad ending indeed. But, to me the new 180 never appealed, they tried to make it look like 200 but it lacked the character that 200 had, may be its coz of the silencer or the clip on handle bars or something else though its my personal opinion completely and no offence to any 180 owner.
The New Life
When the new Pulsar 220 was launched, the F on the fairing created a lot of hype and it was certain that a naked version will be around the corner. And bajaj did the same thing, a naked version of Pulsar 220 was launched in 2010, having the same bits and pieces as the faired version and same looking as the Pulsar 200 but with the goodies from the faired sibling.
Though the Pulsar 200 is back again in the form of naked P220, but it didnt get me as excited as the original P200. P200 still remains as the best looking Pulsar to me and it remains as the bike which gave a new meaning to the word street fighter in the country.

Two Chicago men with robbery convictions were charged today with breaking into a Tinley Park home of a businessman and beating him, sparking a massive manhunt through the south suburbs.
Maxx J. Walker, 24, - who a prosecutor said was on parole for armed robbery -- and Frank I. Adkins, 25, were ordered held on $2 million bail by Will county Judge Marzell Richardson on charges of home invasion, residential burglary, aggravated battery and unlawful use of a weapon.
Police said Friday they are still searching for as many as two other suspects in the home invasion.Around 4 a.m. Wednesday, the men, both carrying pistols, allegedly broke into the home of Morgan Park convenience store owner Abbas Darwish, who lives with his wife and two of his six children in the 9100 block of Basswood Drive.
Darwish and his son Mohammed, 22, were badly beaten, said assistant state's attorney Linda Smith. Darwish suffered a broken nose, fractured ribs and a head wound that required four stitches to close, and remained hospitalized Friday, Smith said.
Mohammed was woken up in his bed with a gun pointed at his head, Smith said. The men asked, "Where's the money?" and hit him, breaking his eye socket, she said.
Darwish's 14-year-old son Bilal was able to hide and call police. A responding officer saw through the front door that Adkins was beating Darwish and entered the home.
Adkins, who told police he was promised $5,000 for his help in the home invasion, was captured immediately. Walker, who escaped and stole a bicycle from a neighbor's home, was captured nearby on the bicycle, Smith said.
Both men appeared in court via video from the Will county jail and were appointed a public defender.
They are next scheduled to appear in court May 12.

FBI investigator Peter Strzok’s text referring to “an insurance policy” against President Trump was reportedly arguing that the agency should probe allegations of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
Strzok was demoted by FBI Special Counsel Robert Mueller after he discovered anti-Trump texts exchanged between Strzok and fellow FBI official Lisa Page. While many of the messages were critical of Trump, there was one message in particular that raised eyebrows and caused debate:
“I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in [Deputy Director Andrew McCabe’s] office—that there’s no way [Trump] gets elected—but I’m afraid we can’t take that risk. It’s like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you’re 40…”
The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday that the “insurance policy” was not a secret plan, but pushing the Russia probe — a probe that is still ongoing a year into Trump’s first term:
The agent didn’t intend to suggest a secret plan to harm the candidate but rather address a colleague who believed the Federal Bureau of Investigation could take its time because Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton was certain to win the election, the people said.
Hillary Clinton did not win the election, and the FBI has come under increasing scrutiny over concerns about impartiality in its investigations of Hillary Clinton’s emails and the Russia probe since the release of the text.
According to the Journal, Strzok was arguing they could not take a more careful approach, as Trump could win:
His text was meant to convey his belief that the investigation couldn’t afford to take a more measured approach because Mr. Trump could very well win the election, they said. It would be better to be aggressive and gather evidence quickly, he believed, because some of Mr. Trump’s associates could land administration jobs and it was important to know if they had colluded with Russia.
The Journal reports that he had emphasized his seriousness a few days earlier, texting Page: “OMG I CANNOT BELIEVE WE ARE SERIOUSLY LOOKING AT THESE ALLEGATIONS AND THE PERVASIVE CONNECTIONS.”
Strzok was involved in the interviews of Clinton aides Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills and was reportedly behind the vital change to Comey’s July 2016 statement whereby the description of her handling of classified information was watered down from “grossly negligent” to “extremely careless.”
The texts have sparked the concern of a number of Republican investigators who have cited it as evidence of bias in the bureau.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) described the texts as appearing to “go beyond merely expressing a private political opinion, and appear to cross the line into taking some official action to create an ‘insurance policy’ against a Trump presidency.”
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) expressed a similar sentiment at a hearing last week:
“High ranking FBI officials involved in the Clinton investigation were personally invested in the outcome of the election and clearly let their strong political opinions cloud their professional judgment and this was only an initial disclosure containing heavy redactions,” he said

We have just received our survey back and it has valued the property significantly 30% less than our offer. We knew there was a bit of work to update the property, but this has really put us off. Surely the vendors won't reduce it by that much, but we don't want to buy it if it is going to be a money pit!
Well I doubt you'd get a mortgage if the value is 30% less what you have offered.
Contact your mortgage providers and get their answer on what they will give you based on the survey. Then go back to the sellers, tell them the survey results and how much you are able to offer based on your survey and mortgage provider, and see what they will do.
also don't forget to speak to the Estate Agent dealing with it. There are many reasons houses get put on the market over and above what they should be and an EA wont want to loose the prospect of a good buyer. They might be able to help you negotiate to an acceptable price. However, sometimes surveyors do like to put the fear of god into buyers and they may be down valueing based on work they think MIGHT need doing but if you get it checked out by a builder/plumber/electrician, it might not be expensive work at all. Good luck.

Liverpool will attempt to make it 12 European home games without defeat when they host Maribor at Anfield on Wednesday night.
For more fascinating pre-match facts, courtesy of club statistician Ged Rea, read on...
The Reds set a new record for the club's biggest ever away European victory in winning 7-0 in the reverse fixture in Slovenia last month.
In that match, Liverpool scored four first-half goals for the first time since they did so against Wigan Athletic in December 2006. They had never previously achieved the feat in Europe.
Five of the six goals scored by the Reds in Europe at Anfield this season have come within the opening 37 minutes.
Liverpool are unbeaten in the first three games of a Champions League group stage for the first time since 2008-09.
Jürgen Klopp has lost only two of his 18 European matches in charge of the Reds.
Maribor are Liverpool's 127th different opponent in European competition.
In the Reds' last European home game, against Sevilla in September, Mohamed Salah scored the club's 200th goal at Anfield in the European Cup/Champions League.
Liverpool have scored 10 times in the group stage so far this season. The most goals they have ever registered in a European group stage came in the Champions League in 2007-08, when they netted 18.

When I was about five years old, I saw the album cover with Diana Ross, she was playing the role of Billy Holiday. I asked my mother who was she and what was wrong with her? I felt terrible pain and emotional feelings, my mother told me that she was on drugs. Billy Holiday felt very unhappy, so I decided that I did not want to do drugs. Experiences that were emotional taught me to deal with my feelings and to discern my own feelings from other spirits or ghosts and things occurring in the universe at a young age.
John Edwards stated once on a show that people prepare to die about six months before it happens. I believe that! Minnie Riperton wrote a song about memories, when I was in about the sixth grade I was singing this song and felt the emotions she had. She was dying of cancer and was very sad.
That experience helped me to become more compassionate towards others. We see people on TV and movies, we think they are happy or good things are happening in their lives, but they are people just like us, with problems, hopes, and dreams. They play characters, their music moves us, but who they really are is not always a pleasant experience.

Former Olympic gold medallist Ryk Neethling will swop water for dirt when he competes in the inaugural Kia Val de Vie Estate Mountain Bike Challenge, presented by ASG, on September 16. As the marketing director of the polo, wine and lifestyle estate in the heart of the Paarl-Franschhoek valley just outside Cape Town, Neethling said sport played an important role in promoting its offering and he was keen to get his hands dirty alongside the other competitors. “Val de Vie is surrounded by beautiful mountains and we have been exploring opportunities to do such an event for a couple of years now.” According to him, one of their key objectives was to ensure that the event was open to all. “With this race we aim to attract everybody from experts to novices, residents and young families ready for a great day out in the winelands.” Neethling said the estate envisaged a long-term partnership with the title sponsor Kia Motors and organisers ASG Events. Val de Vie is the second in a series of four Kia-sponsored races that marks the car manufacturer’s first foray into the sport. David Sieff, marketing manager at Kia Motors South Africa, said the motoring brand was essentially young-at-heart and that the sport of cycling spoke to this key element. “That, coupled with a fantastic venue, will ensure everyone has a memorable weekend experience.” Race director Darren Herbst said the organisers had been working steadily on the project since they were first approached four months ago. “The area is so beautiful and expanding into mountain biking is obviously a natural fit.” He believed the sport was a fantastic vehicle for showcasing the more accessible side of the exclusive estate. “Val de Vie has this prestigious aura about it; it’s an awesome aspirational brand but actually very inviting.” Herbst said mountain biking in South Africa was at a crossroads, with people becoming more selective of the events in which they participated. “The trails we’ve got . . .
With their first two races already full, organisers of the FedGroup Berg & Bush are giving mountain bikers another opportunity to experience one of the top multistage races in the country. The addition of the inaugural three-day Great Trek to the seventh running of the event now gives prospective entrants three options, which also include the three-day Descent and the two-day “original” Berg & Bush. The Great Trek, which starts on October 30 near Sterkfontein Dam in the Free State before plunging down the escarpment into the valleys of KwaZulu-Natal, follows the same route as the popular Descent. Participants will once again cover the historical heartland of the province as they trace the wagon route over the Drakensberg Mountains taken by the Voortrekkers in 1837. Race organiser Gary Green said he had created the Great Trek in order to give more individual riders and two-man teams the chance to step back in time. “The area is rich in Anglo-Boer War history, which adds something really special to the race,” he said. “Riders summit Spioenkop, for example, which was the scene of a significant battle.” Green said he started the original Berg & Bush in 2006 with just 56 riders, before adding the Descent due to popular demand in 2009. The latter was named the country’s top event in its first year and its prize money attracts some of the country’s top pro riders. Last year’s event was won by Brandon Stewart and Jacques Rossouw of FedGroup-Itec Connect. The Descent gets underway on October 26 and finishes 220km later at Winterton Country Club in the Central Berg. The 110km two-dayer, for the more social rider, starts on November 3. According to Green, the routes are varied every year in order to meet the demands of the adventure-seeking mountain biker. “Although entries for the Great Trek close at the end of September, the response has been fantastic with more than half of the slots already taken up.” He said the community . . .
The South African surfing capital will see board action of a different kind when the Maloof Skateboarding for Hope road show hits Jeffreys Bay this weekend. Skateboarding enthusiasts in the Eastern Cape can look forward to an exhilarating skateboarding display at the Element Skatepark in Da Gama Road, Jeffreys Bay on Saturday, 25 August, from 10h00 to 16h00.

Street soccer teams from communities around the country will each compete for the title of KIA Street Soccer provincial champion over the coming weeks. The winning teams will qualify for the competition’s ultimate clash – the National Festival Finale, which will determine the 2012 Kia Street Soccer champion of champions team. This year, for the first time, provincial winners from each region competing in the Kia Street Soccer Programme will be flown to Johannesburg for the National Final, which will be held on Friday 14 September in Soweto. Event organiser Brad Bing, of the youth sports development agency Sporting Chance, is calling on all the communities to get behind their local teams for the provincial finals and spur them on to the inaugural national final. “It has long been our dream to hold a national championship final,” said Bing, Managing Director of Sporting Chance. “Bringing teams together from all the participating regions to play for one trophy, symbolising South Africa’s best, gives the Kia Street Soccer Programme a huge profile boost with greater national presence. Furthermore, it’s a thrilling opportunity for the youth who make it to the finals to experience camaraderie on a national level and the excitement of a national championship final, as well as to see more of their country. It will no doubt be a high point in their young lives – and we hope the first of many.” Five months ago, Sporting Chance, in association with title sponsor KIA and associate sponsors Foodzone, Dawn Wing, Mille and Supersport Let’s Play, rolled out the national neighbourhood street soccer programme to 6000 boys and girls under the age of 13 in communities in Port Elizabeth, Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town and Durban and this year, for the first time, Welkom. Already well established in the other provinces, the KIA Street Soccer programme is the largest of its kind and its great success last year propelled it into the Free State.

The newly-announced Moon to Noon endurance race around Knysna will keep adventurous mountain bikers quite literally in the dark when they ride out at midnight on Friday, October 26. In contrast to other long-distance events, which start in the day and finishes at night, the inaugural 170km race will set out under the stars and roll on into the early hours of Saturday morning. “It’s all about seeing that there’s a different way to ride these events,” said race organiser Patric Mosterd of Garden Route Events, who is also the mastermind behind the Rocky Mountain Garden Route 300 and RE-CM Knysna 200 three-day stage races. “It really levels the playing fields for pros and backmarkers alike, because from 12 to five o’clock they’ve all got to deal with the darkness.” He said night racing offered some special challenges for riders. “You are essentially riding in a bubble and have to learn to trust yourself and your partner.” Because of safety concerns, the field is limited to 300 and Mosterd said no solo riders would be allowed. According to him, the event also presented a range of logistical challenges for organisers. “The race is divided between dark and light, with a compulsory halfway stop at the foot of the Outeniqua Mountains. “We go over at first light and no vehicles or lead bikes can follow. So our whole safety and support infrastructure is split in two on either side.” At 1 100 metres above sea level, riders would summit on a section of a hiking trail belonging to Garden Route National Park, said Mosterd. “On the other side, there’s a 10km downhill, so we want everyone to be fresh and make sure that their brakes are working.” Mosterd said the route started in Rheenendal just outside Knysna. “It goes through indigenous forest and then there’s a nice open road for about 10km so everybody will have a chance to find their positions.” He expected the racing to start in earnest on the descent into the well-known Hydro, which is part . . .
Local skateboarding enthusiasts will have the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get first-hand coaching from the top vert skateboarder in the world in the run-up to the 2012 Maloof Money Cup world skateboarding championships. Pierre Luc Gagnon, also known as PLG, was crowned as vert world champion after an amazing skateboarding display at last year’s contest in Kimberley and will be back to defend his title this year from 28 – 30 September. PLG has not only dominated the vert contests of the world’s greatest skateboarding event, the Maloof Money Cup, each year, but has also won numerous other contests like X Games and the Dew Tour. He is considered to be the most prolific winner in vert skateboarding history. PLG will be conducting two vert half-pipe clinics at the amazing Maloof Skate Plaza in Kimberley on 24 and 25 September for anyone keen to get some insider info on the challenges of vert skateboarding. The youth clinic will be offered free of charge, but will be limited to the first forty entrants to sign up via the website on www.maloofmoneycup.com. Twenty entrants will be accommodated for each of the 1-day clinics. Successful participants will receive confirmation and will have to be on site from 16h00 – 18h00 daily. Clinic attendants will not only receive personal attention from the world champion, but loads of cool prizes are up for grabs as well. “This is an unbelievable opportunity for young skateboarders to receive personal training from the best vert skateboarder in the world. This is what the Maloof championship is all about – paying it forward, exposing South African youth to the incredible sport of skateboarding and allowing them to hone their skills. By getting world-class skateboarders to actively assist in helping these youngsters will definitely be a huge boost for the sport in the Northern Cape and the rest of the country. It’s like getting training tips from an Olympic gold medal winner,” mentions Tim McFerran of Maloof . . .
The University of Johannesburg added to its medal tally during the University Sport South Africa championships that took place at tertiary institutions across the country in July. The university’s men’s hockey side and first squash team took gold in their respective tournaments, while its Soweto Campus came out tops in the rugby C-section. UJ’s netball and men’s and women’s basketball teams also featured on the podium, claiming bronze in these disciplines. The results take the university’s mid-year USSA tally to 14, including four gold, five silver and five bronze medals. In March, the academic institution opened its account with three silvers at the USSA rowing sprints at Vanderkloof Dam near Colesberg in March. The UJ crews claimed runner-up spots in the men’s, women’s and overall categories. The university hosted the track and field events the following month, winning the men’s section and taking third in the women’s. Their collective results gave UJ a silver medal overall. Manager of sports clubs Adrian Carter said UJ’s position as one of the top-rated sporting institutions could be attributed to the university’s investment in infrastructure and coaching, as well as the calibre of student it attracted. “We have many structures in place that create a very enabling environment for student-athletes.” Although the university placed an emphasis on academic ahead of sporting achievements, Carter said it provided support and flexibility on an individual basis. “We promote the complete ‘student experience’, which helps to prepare our student-athletes for the pressures of both the university and outside world. A student-athlete who performs well in the lecture hall will invariably perform well on the sports field.” Furthermore, he said university sport played a critical role in developing sport at national level. “If one looks at the athletes selected for the 2012 London Olympic Games, a high percentage was developed by the university . . .
Brandon Stewart turned on the afterburners to claim his maiden victory in the Kia Walkerville Mountain Bike Classic, presented by ASG, in sub-zero conditions in Johannesburg on Sunday. The FedGroup-Itec Connect pro, from Hilton in KwaZulu-Natal, made an early break in the 60km main event and was later joined by RE:CM’s Waylon Woolcock. They matched each other all the way to the Walkerville Showgrounds, where the 15th edition of Gauteng’s largest and coldest winter race finished on the slippery speedway circuit. Stewart duly outdragged his breakaway companion to take line honours in a fast 1:55:55. Woolcock, a former Old Mutual joBerg2c champion, finished three seconds back. The latter’s team-mate, Neil MacDonald, completed the podium in 2:02:02. Stewart said the shale surface, which is designed for motorbikes to slide on, had made the final stretch particularly challenging and exciting. “It was almost like a mini Paris-Roubaix finish.” The win rounded off a successful weekend for the 31-year-old, who also took third in the Nissan TrailSeeker Series race in Cullinan on Saturday. “It’s always fantastic to win, especially when the event is backed by one of our team sponsors,” said Stewart. “Obviously, Walkerville was my big focus but I think it was good for me to do the Cullinan race because it loosened me up a bit.” He said he felt his form was good enough to make an early break on the big Platberg climb, which came after just 10km of pedalling. “Neil and Waylon were always going to be my strongest competition, so I thought I’d give it a go while everyone’s legs were still feeling a bit cold.” The gamble paid off and Stewart opened a gap on the chasing group. “Then I was on my own and I just carried on making the race really hard.” However, some confusion over route markings saw him lose valuable time and Woolcock managed to close the gap just before the halfway mark. MacDonald, riding alone in extremely windy conditions, was . . .
South Africa’s top mountain bikers will launch the second half of their season at the 15th annual Kia Walkerville Classic, presented by ASG, on Sunday. In the absence of last year’s winner Max Knox and runner-up Philip Buys, whose respective European and Olympics commitments will see them on the sidelines, Gauteng’s biggest race is set to crown a new champion. Brandon Stewart of FedGroup-Itec Connect, third in his maiden outing last year, is set to spearhead the list of favourites, which also includes former Old Mutual joBerg2c champions Neil MacDonald and Waylon Woolcock of RE:CM. “It’s definitely an important race for us,” said former national cross-country champion Stewart. “Organisers are expecting 1 500 riders, which is a fantastic turnout for a winter event.” He said the title sponsor was also his team transport partner and therefore a win was key for the team. “Last year, I was recovering from illness and it was the first time I’d done it. Now that I know the course, I should fare better.” Stewart said the 60km route, which is punctuated by three climbs, was relatively fast and flat, with good single-track sections, and he expected “tight and close” racing. He said the lead bunch would probably separate from the field on the initial 3km climb up Platberg, which is just seven kilometres into the race. “You’ve just got to give it all you’ve got on that first climb.” He did not foresee any of the favourites attempting to get away there. “With another 40-odd kilometres to go, it is extremely unlikely.” The 31-year-old from Hilton in KwaZulu-Natal said the chances of a breakaway on the gradual Wattle Alley ascent, midway through the race, were also slim. “If you’re out on your own, it’s easy for the bunch to haul you back.” Stewart said the main contenders would, in all likelihood, leave their main assault for the final 1.5km uphill drag to the finish at the Walkerville Showgrounds. “If you’re still strong there you can make it really . . .
After its great success last year, The Herald Urban Run will return this Tourism Month – once again drawing runners and adventurers from all around to participate in the ‘urbanathlon’ – taking them on a journey through some of the city’s urban sights and attractions while raising money for charity. “Events like the urban race are what our city thrives on. The race shows off several of our inner-city attractions – exposing tourists to a part of our city that abounds with history, art and heritage,” said Nelson Mandela Bay Tourism (NMBT) CEO, Mandlakazi Skefile. The event, which had its first ‘run’ last year, expects to see hundreds of athletes from around the Eastern Cape descend on Nelson Mandela Bay again this year. The city footrace starts and finishes at the iconic Donkin Reserve, also known as the ‘beacon of the bay’ takes place September 16th. It takes competitors through the Central Business District (CBD) of the city along with part of the heritage trail Route 67 and includes iconic sights such as Fort Frederick. Nelson Mandela Bay’s CBD has become one of the front runners in respect of urban renewal, this race calls for tourists and locals to bear witness to the urban transformation for themselves. “The 10.5km urban obstacle race is for social fun runners who are looking for something a little different,” said event organizer, Michael Zoetmulder. “By its very nature, an Urban Run is a multi-disciplinary, city foot race with the emphasis squarely on having fun. Urban obstacles are designed in such a way as to get the social runner sweating and smiling while taking in the city’s surrounds” The race, established last year by local sports events company, Zports, raised R40 000 last year and is hoping to increase that to R100 000 this year. Businesses along the route are encouraged to become involved and lend their support to the event. Organisers say Port Elizabeth has set the benchmark for urban runs in South Africa and September’s event . . .

A Natural Approach To Health
Living With Senility
I had a question the other day about senility.
Senility used to be considered an inevitable part of aging.
But, we now know it’s a physical disease resulting from a loss of brain cells.
Brain function, or certain parts of brain function, decline to the point that mental disability results.
Forgetfulness, fearfulness, depression, agitation, difficulty absorbing new information, loss of normal emotional responses, and poor short-term memory are typical.
Other signs include mood swings, jealousy, paranoia, frustration, anger, insensitivity to the feelings of others, fear of being alone, repeating conversations, inability to make decisions or complete a task, lack of a sense of time, hoarding, failure to recognize people, and self-neglect.
Senility usually gets progressively worse.
Complications that may occur include injuries (mainly due to falls), poor nutrition, constipation, and a variety of infections.
Dementia can be caused by several diseases affecting brain function, like alcoholism, Alzheimer’s disease, kidney or liver failure, hypothyroidism, multiple strokes, atherosclerosis, multiple sclerosis, or diabetes.
It can also result from nutritional deficiencies, especially deficiencies of B vitamins.
Many people diagnosed as senile actually suffer from pseudodementia – symptoms mimicking dementia but actually caused by depression, deafness, brain tumors, thyroid problems, liver or kidney problems, the use of certain drugs, or other disorders.
A thorough medical and psychological examination by a qualified professional is necessary for an accurate diagnosis.
Dementia is considered incurable.
But, because generally declining health contributes to the problem, proper diet and nutritional supplements can help.
To deal with senility it’s beneficial to:
*Drink 6-8 cups of purified water daily hydrates body and brain cells and flushes toxins (whether thirsty or not!).
*Anise, blessed thistle, and blue cohosh appear to sharpen brain power.
*Gingko biloba improves cerebral circulation, enhances brain function and memory, and destroys free radicals to protect brain cells. Three times a day, place 1/2 dropperful of alcohol-free liquid extract under your tongue and hold it there for a few minutes before swallowing. Or take 400 mg in capsule form 3 times daily. (Don’t take ginkgo biloba if you have a bleeding disorder, or are scheduled for surgery or a dental procedure).
*Gotu kola, ginseng, and mullein oil all help memory function. (Don’t use ginseng if you have high blood pressure or are pregnant or nursing).
*Kava kava and St. John’s wort help to calm people who anger easily.
*Valerian root promotes better sleep patterns when taken at bedtime.
*Eat a diet consisting of 50-75% raw foods, along with seeds, whole-grain cereals and breads, raw nuts, and low-fat yogurt and other soured products. Eat Swiss cheese, brown rice, and plenty of fiber daily.
*Move the bowels daily. Oat bran, rice bran, and a high-fiber diet are important.
*Keep active. Exercising, walking, engaging in mental activity, and doing things you enjoy, like pursuing a hobby, are important. Seek out companionship and new experiences. Some people withdraw and keep to themselves as they get older because it seems easier and/or safer, but this can lead to loneliness and depression.
*Be sure to keep a safe environment at home.
*Protect against head injury by wearing your seat belt and by wearing protective headgear when participating in activities like as bicycle riding.
*Have a complete physical exam to rule out the possibility of underlying illness as a cause of symptoms.
If your loved one is dealing with senility, try these (100% money-back guarantee):

Yuvraj, Harbhajan, Zaheer Khan axed
Following two losses in consecutive Tests to England, the selectors have axed under-performing stars Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh and Zaheer Khan
Saurashtra all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, Uttar Pradesh leggie Piyush Chawla and Delhi medium-pacer Parvinder Awana have replaced the trio in the 15-member squad for the fourth Test in Nagpur starting on Thursday.
BCCI secretary Sanjay Jagdale, when asked for a comment, said he did not wish to talk on the selection matters. “I don’t want to comment on selection issues. No one is happy when the team loses, we are looking into it… we are working on it,” Jagdale said after the selection meeting which lasted for more than an hour.
However, it wasn’t clear what made the five wise men leave out India’s pace spearhead Zaheer Khan.
Meanwhile, the selectors also announced the 15-member squad for the two T20s after the fourth Test, where the names of Virender Sehwag and Zaheer didn’t figure. According to a BCCI release, Sehwag and Zaheer are unavailable for the T20s and were therefore not considered. Jadeja, Chawla and Awana were included in the T20 squad too.
Test squad: MS Dhoni (Captain), Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Piyush Chawla, Ishant Sharma, Pragyan Ojha, Ajinkya Rahane, Ashok Dinda, Murali Vijay, Parvinder Awana.

Junto Sentence Examples
He entered the Junto of Rome in 1848 and was elected deputy by Viterbo to the national assembly.
Next year she supported the election of the Whig speaker, John Smith, but long resisted the influence and claims of the Junto, as the Whig leaders, Somers, Halifax, Orford, Wharton and Sunderland, were named.
As an ultra Federalist - he was a prominent member of the group known as the Essex Junto - he strongly opposed the purchase of Louisiana and the war of 1812.
Ames was one of the group of New England ultraFederalists known as the "Essex Junto," who opposed the French policy of President John Adams in 1798, and were conspicuous for their British sympathies.
He was a member of the Essex County convention of 1778, called to protest against the proposed state constitution, and as a member of the "Essex Junto" was probably the author of The Essex Result, which helped to secure the rejection of the constitution at the polls.Advertisement
In 1737 he had been appointed postmaster at Philadelphia, and about the same time he organized the first police force and fire company in the colonies; in 1749, after he had written Proposals Relating to the Education of Youth in Pensilvania, he and twenty-three other citizens of Philadelphia formed themselves into an association for the purpose of establishing an academy, which was opened in 1751, was chartered in 1753, and eventually became the University of Pennsylvania; in 1727 he organized a debating club, the " Junto," in Philadelphia, and later he was one of the founders of the American Philosophical Society (1743; incorporated 1780); he took the lead in the organization of a militia force, and in the paving of the city streets, improved the method of street lighting, and assisted in the founding of a city hospital (1751); in brief, he gave the impulse to nearly every measure or project for the welfare and prosperity of Philadelphia undertaken in his day.
In politics he was a staunch Federalist, and with Fisher Ames, Timothy Pickering and Theophilus Parsons (all of whom lived in Essex county, Massachusetts) was classed as a member of the "Essex Junto," - a wing of the party and not a formal organization.

Hailing from London’s pulsating music scene, Oscar “SHOLTO” Robertson isn’t just a drummer and multi-instrumentalist, he’s an orchestrator of grooves and a time-traveling storyteller. You can trace the breadcrumbs of his influences — jazz, soul, krautrock, and the golden days’ soundtrack of the 60s & 70s — in the bouquet of sounds he conjures.
Ahead of the release of SHOLTO’s Root Records debut EP The Changing Tides Of Dreams, today we have a sneak peak at his latest single, “Over The Sky,” a dreamy voyage through the realms of cinematic-library-soul.
A song that comfortably nestles itself alongside genre champions like The Ironsides, Misha Panfilov, and Makaya McCraven, SHOLTO creates a world where tension thrives, culminating in dramatic highs and lows. Just as things reach a boiling point, the song artfully cascades into an uplifting river of hope, where soothing harp melodies intertwine with otherworldly strings.

Understanding Challenges, Get To Know the Artists: Goshi Youth
In this 21C era,
Dialogue, learning, and change can happen in many forms across digital mediums. Here is a raw and genuine conversation with emerging local emerging creative voices based in Perth. This was a facilitated exchange with Ella Wylynko.
In an attempt to stay true to the artist's voice,
these responses have been left unedited.
Describe Goshi as to how you envisioned it when the idea first came to you?
GOSHI was birthed at the cross roads of (a) my lack of knowledge and awareness of other creative likeminded people in Perth (b) my desire to become friends with these people and be inspired by them (c) the lack of platforms for young people to express their voices (d) and thereby the lack of alternative media outlets but (e) my lack of awareness in what already existed in Perth (in terms of an arts scene and community) and therefore endeavoured to find and help expose to others lost like me.
What is your role in Goshi?
I guess you could say I am the creative director? I do a little bit of everything.. social media, graphic design, writing and editing, business management, proposals… the list is endless.
If you had to give your 13-year-old self a word of encouragement when working in the creative industry in Perth what would it be?
There is one! Or at least there is one developing and it’s worth delving into it and actually going to events and meeting people and putting yourself out there to the world. Every artist (every person) has something to show the world, and it is valuable no matter what people tell you or the current perception of art.
A single word to describe the visual voice of the entire series. What were some of the challenges you faced in the earlier years of starting Goshi? And how can changemakers of any form help facilitate these issues moving forward?
The visual voice is a brilliant term to describe what GOSHI is attempting to encapsulate. The main contention is that, there are so many cultures, voices, artist mediums, types of peoples and identities that it’s hard to have a single word to describe the entire scene. I guess ‘diverse’ it’s pretty generic but otherwise I’d say ‘unique’ ‘creative in our isolation’.
Challenges I faced (and still do) is having a coherent branding (with wanting to represent such diversity) and attempting to assist and support everyone!
I’d love people to submit articles and journalistic pieces along with interviews to help increase the words side of GOSHI, along with attending events and collaborating with each other because that’s what it essentially is (a community).
If we all support each other Perth can emerge as a place full of culture, identity with diversity, an artist and international destination.

State board approves tax credits for greenhouse project
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — The Rhode Island Commerce Corp. has approved about $2.2 million in tax credits to encourage a New York City company to build a greenhouse in Providence.
The board voted 6-1 to approve the tax credits for the $12.2 million project. The Providence Journal reports that Brooklyn-based Gotham Greens Holdings LLC plans to build a 95,000-square foot (8825-square meter) greenhouse to grow vegetables at a vacant lot that once housed a General Electric lightbulb factory.
Before the vote, Commerce Corp. board member Bernard Buonanno III asked Gotham Greens CEO Viraj Puri if other projects the firm has done around the country have received state incentives.
Puri said yes, including a project in Chicago that now has 65 full-time employees.

Unemployed Naveen death is not a suicide, it is the murder of the government -ABVP
Unemployed Chitikena Naveen in Rajannasircilla district job opportunities or hanged death is sad timely job notification or the main reason for this suicide state government should be responsible 50 lakhs ex gratia to victim family and government job
ABVP State Hostels Convener Maraveni Ranjit Kumar said that ABVP will fight on behalf of the unemployed, you can be assured that we will fight for our jobs and get our jobs as a witness of the sacrifices of the students, we have achieved Swarashtra on the foundations of sacrifices. Disappointing everyone’s hopes, before the formation of the government, they will make Telangana a golden Telangana by making promises that they will fill the jobs and make Telangana a golden Telangana. Last year, PhD scholar Yadaya of Osmania University committed suicide because of lack of jobs, but the state government did not open its eyes. Attempting to die means that it is government murder. KCR, who changed the state to Telangana by shouting that it is golden Telangana, has no moral right to stay in the state, and all the students are not disheartened saying that KCR hates Telangana, just like how we did the movements for Swarashtra, all the students joined together once again to get jobs by bending the necks of the state government. Let’s make a movement, let’s fight and solve our problems ourselves
50 lakhs to Naveen’s family to be given and a government job to one of his family.
Vacancies in the state should be filled immediately. They demanded release of notifications.The event was attended by ABVP State Hostels Convenor Maraveni Ranjith Kumar District Convenor Akkem Nagaraju Lipelli Raju Tirupati Nitin Pranai Madhu Anand Vamsi Naveen Raju Sriram Rahul Karnakar Srikanth Sai and others.

Steve and Mary Bunn found themselves in a courtroom filled with thirty people supporting them, all wearing Solidarity Ribbons, as the injustices in the justice system allow for a couple in California to have their daughter possibly taken away from them because of child endangerment.
Not because their cleaning supplies were under the sink and the child could potentially drink poison. Also not because of chemicals in their food-like substances that will ultimately contribute to poor health down the road.
But rather, because a plant that can reverse the damages done by a contaminated world was being grown on their property.
That’s right. Medical cannabis, which has proven to be safe and effective medicine, and is documented as being one of the safest, if not the safest, substance on the planet.
As a non-toxic medicine plant, the properties have many healing benefits and an Indio couple allowed a patient to grown on their property for his own needs, and never compromised the secured site.
“It feels a lot better to have people standing behind us and supporting us,” says Steve Bunn, who was sentenced to sixteen months in prison.
However, for the Bunn’s, who have a little boy that will begin kindergarten after the summer, they find themselves in the middle of a legal battle that could potentially end with their family ripped apart because the safest substance on the planet was being grown in a rented shed that happened to be on their property.
The man who rented to shed, Chris Yap, was growing the plants for patients who cannot, under his collective Human Kindness Center, and is a legal medical marijuana patient himself, can’t believe Riverside County would go after the couple, rather than the him.
“The plants that were in that room were under my exclusive control,” Yapp tells KMIR News.
Seekers of justice are encouraged to call Riverside County District Attorney’s office and demand they cease and desist all harassing prosecutions of medical cannabis patients, as well as families who “have done nothing wrong and are being ripped apart by the very community the pay taxes in,” according to one member of The Human Solution.
“The spirit and integrity of California’s medical cannabis laws never intended to have cities spend much needed tax dollars on frivolous medical cannabis cases that followed the letter of the law.
“The whole thing with Steve and Mary is such a miscarriage of justice,” says Lanny Swerdlow, who is an RN and plays an active role educating others about medical cannabis.
The Riverside County D.A.’s office declined to comment, but told KMIR during the trial they believe none of the cannabis cultivated in the locked shed was for medical cannabis patients, but intended to be sold to individuals that would not use it for medical purposes.

I know, I know .It is probaly not event Country Music let alone Americana but I don't really care, It is near the end of the series and there is hardly anyone still along for the ride. It's on the blue shelves so it is going in.
Never mind your Gram Parsons with his Cosmic American Music here are the Cosmic Rough Riders with some Cosmic Castlemilk Music.
From 2000 the masterpiece that is Enjoy the Melodic Sunshine is on Alan McGhee's Poptone label and includes some tracks from their two previous independent releases plus three new tracks
Allmusic makes reference to throwback California sun 'n' surf morning that never existed, the glistening harmonies, '60s light-pop touches, and over-earnest but well-mannered, tender lyrics and makes reference to Gordon Lightfoot, the Byrds and Teenage Fanclub
Trying to concieve the Cosmic Rough Riders’ opus in one sentence would sound something like this: The country incarnation of the Byrds from the end of the ’60s trying to play their mid-’60s songs with an addition of some Beatle/Chilton harmonies sung by C,S&N… - Pop Diggers
See I told you - Americana!
They had a few more albums but were at their best with their two main men of Stephen Fleming and Daniel Wylie. After Wylie left to go solo, and releasing the excellent Ramshackle Beauty, they still came up with some pretty good records but they were never quite the same
Brothers and sister gather round and enjoy the melodic sunshine.

Chapel Performance Space, Good Shepherd Center, Seattle
New Forest - Nat Evans
We arrived about 20 minutes in, so the first experience was simply that of entering a room from which a particular color of quietness emanated. Upon this fabric was set, at long intervals, a couple of older jazz recordings. There was enough space between these that they didn't become the main focus, but operated as markers, cairns, a known place for our own calibration.
Does it help, or is it essential, to know certain facts about a music in order to perceive it most clearly? I had known a little going in: that it involved field recordings made on Nat's recent trek on the Pacific Coast Trail. In the notes it is disclosed that these particular recordings are from forest areas that had been clearcut in the '40s or '50s, and that the recordings are 78s inherited from Nat's grandfather, who studied forestry at about that time. This is all interesting from a journalistic perspective, but I remain skeptical that the knowledge of it improves the aesthetic experience.
For my part, the hardcore interaction between the presence of the forest sound as it fell into distance and the etched surface of the surfacing past of the 78s sound was the big hit. The rest is just part of what it took Nat to get there, it isn't the there. It is important to Nat's relation to his work, but not necessarily to ours.

topographies - John Teske
same personnel as in Texture Sketch I
I have been a map nut from a tender age, so this piece plugs into several of my nerd-nodes. In the observation of landforms we can surmise numerous processes and forces and materials at work. Maps are abstracts of the results, representations of several dimensions of data on a surface. Those abstractions are used as a stimulus to other forces, processes and personalities (with all their inscrutable complexities) in order to produce a sound which is itself an abstraction of all the underlying data and which, as it presents itself in time, comes across as nothing so much as landforms made audible.
It was a pleasure to hear these again.

Symphony #3 op. 27 "Sinfonia Espansiva" - Carl Nielsen - Danish Radio Symphony Orchestra, Yuri Ahronovitch
This is big drama music that doesn't behave like a stage drama. It is more high steel than Macbeth. Its parts don't fit together with specious inevitablity, but are set against each other and folded into each other curatorially. Each episode is enlivened inside itself rather than tensing us into looking where we are going. No matter where one listens in this music it is as though there were a ripple in the glass. Nothing can be heard straight.

One regret I have looking back on my years at the UW was that I never took any classes from William Bergsma. Here it is demonstrated that he composed the Jaws not safe in the water right now theme several decades before it wasn't safe in the water anymore. The wickedly fabulous Eastman-Rochester crew sound great here, engineered so that the dynamic contrasts take your breath away.

Mari 4 Mirror Paint Tool
Mari 4.2 is out with one of the most requested Mari features. Mirror paint and symmetrical painting has always been problematic and time consuming in Mari. I guess it’s been a hard nut to crack as Mari is still a projection paint software. Nevertheless its out and its awesome to have this in the toolbox. I guess there will still be room for the old way of planning the UV layout and copy patches from one side to the other for special occasions. I know this feature will make my painting a lot faster, so a big high five to the Mari team, You did it!
“Hat off to the Mari team for the implementation of the new Mirror tool”
Mirror Mirror On The Wall
The mirror tool is found under the main side bar and in the painting tab. You can mirror across the X,Y and Z axis as well use a locator for a custom mirror plane.
Masking Your Paint
You have options to use either dynamic, positive or negative masking modes The dynamic will mask depending on the viewing direction of your mirror plane. Sometimes when working on the inside of features or close to the mirror plane you might have to switch the mirror masking to either positive or negative of the mirror plane axis. This is to prevent the masking from being on the same side as you are trying to paint. Most of the time the dynamic mode will work just fine.
Custom Mirror Plane
There is an option to add a custom mirror plane in the form of a locator that you can choose to mirror your paint across instead of the default that is centred from the scene in Mari.
Now let’s take a quick look at the tool in action!
The Mari mirror paint tool was one of the most requested features on the Mari community forum and I’m happy that Foundry made a robust tool out of the development effort. I’m looking forward to using it on my next project. It will save a lot of time to be able to paint in symmetry without all overhead of the old copy paint between patches.

Playing catch up with a few of my January reads. This was one of the first books I dove head first into this month. Let’s not waste time here and head towards the review of this book.
Even If I Fall
Genre: YA Contemporary
Would I Recommend: Yes – if you want to cry
Overview of the book:
Brooke and her family are social pariahs after her older brother admitted to killing his best friend over a year prior to where this story begins. Brooke is broken, lonely, ashamed, lost, and any other difficult emotion you can imagine. She begins a new friendship with an outsider who doesn’t know yet about her family’s past and she also begins to connect to Heath – the brother of boy her own brother killed. They begin navigating their emotions with and on each other (sometimes in a negative way, sometimes not) to learn to cope with the pain they both feel.
I cried. I was lying in bed at one point in this book and my husband came in and asked why I was crying. I didn’t know how to explain that Brooke’s pain was so realistic at points and that I resonated so much with it that it hurt me. This story is not perfect – it isn’t flawlessly written or explored. However, it is a tangle of realness and those are the pieces that stuck with me the most.
Brooke is navigating in a world that she doesn’t understand and feels completely alone in doing. She has a new acquired friend, Maggie, who just arrived into town and doesn’t yet know why she is such a secluded person. Brooke’s only escape is the ice skating she has been doing since a young age.
Happenstance finds Brooke crossing paths with Heath – the brother of the boy her own brother murdered. I enjoyed this relationship. They are two people who should and do despise each other – because they “should” given their situations. There is a decent amount of honest conversation between the two and some of it made me cringe a little with how rough things were between them, as you’d expect. However, I enjoyed this strangeness – that they both were so desperate to feel something besides the hollowness they’d been feeling for different reasons, and how they worked through them by bouncing off each other.
The parts that actually tore my heart apart were around Brooke’s family. There were scenes where she is so utterly helpless and desperate to connect again, even for just a split second, with her mom, dad, or sister and it doesn’t happen again and again. Maybe I related to this because of my own personal life more than someone else might – but these scenes killed me. Johnson made Brooke feel, for me, like she was at the bottom of a deep well, struggling to keep her head above water and not give up on life. Brooke’s will to keep going despite everything she was living through was such a great light in this story, and I appreciated the darkness we were shown, too. Heartbreaking on so many levels.
I also want to touch on Brooke’s relationship with her brother which I think is important for the story. He is a murderer. He is not a pure character. But Brooke still loves him – that is still her brother. Johnson paints a great dilemma where I tried to figure out how I would feel if this was one of my siblings. Do we stop loving someone who was once so important to us for doing such a heinous act? Brooke didn’t stop and I appreciated that look as this is a reality for many people who have family or good friends who may have done (or are accused of doing) similar acts.
The reasons I didn’t give this a full 5 / 5 was because there were parts of the ice skating sections that bored me. I get it. I do. I understand the need to have this piece of her life she can rely on despite everything else. I used to ice skate for years as a child. I get it. Promise. But sometimes it was so boring.
The other reason was because I wasn’t 100% living for the “mysterious” piece towards the end around her brother. It felt forced compared to the rest of the story. I would have been OK if the story didn’t have this piece in it – the emotions tied to this story were enough for me.
Overall rating: 4.25 / 5

In My Mailbox is hosted by Kristi at The Story Siren.
I've been craving short stories like crazy recently. A local non-chain bookstore had the following titles on sale this week: Crimes in Southern Indiana, Lying in Bed, and Mending: New and Selected Stories. I think it's because I sat down and went over a few favorites from Salinger's Nine Stories that prompted my need to drive across town and purchase them.
Up next I have Jonathan Frazen's How to Be Alone: Essays. Yes, Franzen is a jerk, but he's a good writer. I look forward to sitting down and reading these next weekend.
Up next is MARK "MOTHER F*CKIN'" TWAIN. I remember wanting to buy a copy of Punch, Brothers, Punch: The Comic Mark Twain Reader when it first came out, but I didn't have the money. Low and behold I'm strolling through Half-Priced Books and there is is for $2.99.
For those of you who are not aware: Mark Twain is one of my favorite writers. He's a master satirist and I put him on the same level as Jonathan Swift. The collection includes short stories, letters he wrote, and various other articles.
I think my obsession with Twain started when I saw an episode of The Next Generation as a kid. In it Picard & Co travel back in time and meet him. I recently rewatched those two episodes on Netflix and the actor who played Twain did such a fantastic job that anyone else who has portrayed him on screen hasn't come close to this performance.
Also, there's this scene that has always stuck with me:
Say what you want, but Mark "Mother F*ckin'" Twain continues to be relevant today. I even heard there's some new movies coming out based on his books... like that hasn't been done before.
Lastly, I got This Lullaby, which is the only Sarah Dessen novel I do not have. I thought I got it last time, but apparently I didn't. So I made a special trip back to Half-Priced just to get this one.

This summer’s already shaping up to be blazing hot, and everyone is on the search for breathable, lightweight pieces to survive the heat in. Sophie Turner is no different and recently proved that one can enjoy the rising temperatures while looking fashionable and comfortable. The style maven is known to always bring an elevated aesthetic to her casual everyday outfits. However, instead of wearing a two-piece pajama set this time around, Turner wore a pair of Bermuda lounge shorts that looked both comfy and luxurious.
On June 9, Turner posted an outfit photo to Instagram. She wore a pair of blue wool-cashmere bottoms from Louis Vuitton (one of her go-to designer brands) with a striped bikini top and a buttoned shirt. All the pieces fell into the same wheelhouse of color: soft oceanic blues. The star of her look, however, was most definitely her luxe Vuittamins Sporty Bermuda Shorts. It gave off that casual “I just rolled out of bed to hang by the pool,” vibe. However, the bottoms can easily be dressed up to wear out to dinner — say, with a pair of dad sandals? The shorts are part of Louis Vuitton’s Vuittamins Pre-Fall 2021 collection, which is filled with endless colorful and playful pieces like this pink and purple monogram skirt.
Not only did Turner get her hands on one of the most sought-after shorts for summer (her exact piece is currently sold out), but she also tapped into the rising Bermuda shorts trend. Instead of opting for a rigid denim style or a breezy linen piece, however, the star preferred her athleisure designer pair. The summer staple can be dressed up or down with a simple white T-shirt or with a silky crop top. If you go with the latter, make sure to style with a pair of leather bottoms like Nanushka’s Tazu Vegan-Leather Bermuda Shorts for a fancy evening look.
Although Turner’s blue Louis Vuitton bottoms are sold out, there is a similar pink option available to shop. In addition, many retailers are offering the style for summer, so if you’re looking for more colors, scroll ahead.

Singer/songwriter/producer Jasper Lotti has slowly revealed herself through a series of self-directed music videos, off her debut EP XOskeleton. Today Jasper Lotti has premiered another music video for XOskeleton song “Bad Juju” Filmed in Glendale amongst a corporate office park, the video for “Bad Juju” as Jasper Lotti explains, “is about disrupting the simulation; the arbitrary routine of exertion.” Directed once again by Jasper herself, “Bad Juju” is the fourth video to be released from XOskeleton following her previous videos for “Take U There,” “Ur So Vague,”and “Idea of Me.”
XOskeleton is the first peek into Jasper Lotti’s world in which she uses pop music to explore the internalized dystopia caused by digital identity, love and attachment. Jasper Lotti produces, writes, records and performs all her own music, and first arrives to many of her compositions by exploring movement, using her body to channel and unlock musical expression, which she is seen performing in her self-directed music videos that also accentuate her playful curiosity and twisted sense of humour.

ROME — A former Cartersville police officer who notified drug traffickers that the FBI was conducting a court-authorized wiretap will be sentenced on May 11 in U.S. District Court in Rome. Bryson-Taylor Wayne Banks pleaded guilty Friday to a felony charge of unlawful notification of electronic surveillance.
“The defendant made a decision to side with the drug dealers and sabotage an FBI investigation,” said U.S. Attorney Byung J. “BJay” Pak. “He placed his fellow law enforcement officers in imminent danger, and sold out his oath to uphold the law.”
According the charges and other information presented in court:
In 2015, Banks, a member of the Bartow-Cartersville Drug Task Force, was investigating a number of drug traffickers operating in the Cartersville area and used a female confidential source to obtain information about the network. In cultivating his relationship source, Banks improperly gave her information from law enforcement databases and illegally sent her a picture of another cooperating source.
Banks, knowing that the drug trafficker he had been investigating was about to be arrested by a different agency, contacted a confidential source and warned her that a sting was planned. The tip compromised the investigation however a renewed investigation was ultimately successful. With two drug traffickers sentenced to prison.
“Mr. Banks actions do not reflect the values or culture of the Cartersville Police Department,” said Cartersville Police Department Lt. Michael Bettikofer.
