Nigeria's zig-zag football kit might have broken pre-order sales with three million sold, but Gareth Southgate's waistcoat is England's unexpected sartorial hit of the World Cup 2018.
The team manager has come a long way since he wore a regrettably oversized beige suit on his wedding day in 1997. Today, he favours a sharper look - specifically a well-tailored three-piece suit, often shedding the jacket to reveal a single-breasted waistcoat - the latter of which has swiftly become a surprise trend.
Marks & Spencer, which has been the official suit supplier of the England team since 1997, describes what it is dubbing the 'Gareth Southgate effect'; sales for its waistcoats have risen 35 per cent thanks to the England captain's patronage.
Marks & Spencer FA Collection waistcoat, £65 SHOP NOW
Those wanting to emulate the style of the England coach will be pleased to note that the waistcoat from Marks & Spencer's official FA Collection costs just £65. The full three-piece suit will set you back just £264.
M&S isn't the only brand that's noticed a surge in interest. eBay reports that searches for waistcoats increased by 25 per cent last weekend, while tailoring label TM Lewin tweeted that sales of the piece were "going through the stadium roof" this week.
Global fashion search platform Lyst told us that searches for waistcoats were up 41 per cent since the start of the World Cup and, since the England vs Columbia match on Tuesday 3 July, someone searched for a waistcoat every 12 minutes, with Ted Baker, Reiss and Thom Sweeney proving most popular. That said, within hours of Southgate wearing his M&S suit on Tuesday evening, searches for the British brand increased 55 per cent, with waistcoats becoming the most popular M&S menswear item bought on Lyst this week. In terms of colours, navy has piqued the most interest - the favoured shade of the England captain.
Southgate's waistcoat has also been given the meme treatment, after tech company Huawei doctored an image to show an "it's coming home" slogan covering the garment. The idea was to show off the brand's P20 Pro's zoom feature, but it's now asking M&S to turn the Photoshopped design into a reality.
So why has Southgate turned to the waistcoat? The item has been described as the male version of the corset (albeit much more comfortable), framing the body to positive effect - depending on the body. In some cases, you're better off leaving them undone rather than buttoned up. It's also an easy way of smartening up an outfit, elevating the shirt.
Southgate has also, perhaps unwittingly, also nodded to a broader suiting trend, favoured by Prada, Céline and Tom Ford on the spring/summer 2018 catwalks. Although it's still too early to call Southgate's preferred waistcoat a womenswear trend, it is a piece that's cropped up more and more in the past few seasons. Far from the Kate Moss' boho Glastonbury look of old, this latest waistcoat revival is office-appropriate - either worn fitted over fine knitwear or longer in length and teamed with trousers or a midi skirt. This season, both Chloé and Victoria Beckham did different versions of the waistcoat, while Stella McCartney offered both denim styles and grey tailored versions for autumn/winter 2018.
In terms of celebrity fans, Southgate isn't the only high-profile name to see the potential in a waistcoat. Vanessa Paradis teamed hers with jeans and a black midi coat at Chanel's autumn/winter 2018 show in Paris, while Victoria Beckham styles hers with matching pinstripe trousers.
The jury's still out on whether the waistcoat will form part of women's wardrobe next season, but - thanks to Southgate - it's already well on its way to coming home for menswear.

GM names new top lawyer
General Motors (GM) announced today that it appointed Craig Glidden, 57, as executive vice president and general counsel, effective March 1.
Glidden was executive vice president and chief legal officer for LyondellBasell Industries, one of the world's largest plastics, chemicals and refining companies. He oversaw the company's global legal, communications, government affairs and compliance groups.
Before that, he served as senior vice president, general counsel and corporate secretary of Chevron Phillips Chemical. He was in private law practice before then.
Glidden replaces Mike Millikin, who became a lightning rod for vicious criticism on Capitol Hill during hearings last summer into GM's 13-year delay between noticing an ignition switch defect and recalling millions of cars to fix the problem.
The flawed switch can disable airbags. Through Monday, 56 deaths were linked to the defect by a fund paying compensation to victims of the fault.
"How in the world did Michael Millikin keep his job?" exclaimed Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., chair of the Senate Subcommittee on Consumer Protection, Product Safety and Insurance at a hearing last July into the GM foul-up hearing .
Lawyers on Millikin's staff were involved in "cover-up, concealment, deceit and even fraud," and should be accused of crimes by the Justice Department, said Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn. at the hearing. Blumenthal said directly that Millikin should be fired, but GM CEO Mary Barra declined, saying he had "high integrity" and she wanted him on her executive team.
.In October, GM announced that Millikin had decided to retire early this year, when a replacement was found. His new retirement date is July.
GM said Glidden will lead a team of staff attorneys who are "integrated into all of GM's regional and functional teams in more than 30 countries."
"Craig Glidden has had a distinguished career managing complex legal issues around the world, and his broad legal and senior management expertise fits perfectly with our strategic priorities and plans for global growth," Barra said in a statement.

Art watch: Saif Mhaisen opens solo exhibition 'Work'
Part of Tashkeel's first solo project
Aimed at providing a platform for emerging artists to bring their artworks to the public sphere, Tashkeel's first solo programme now presents Work by Dubai artist Saif Mhaisen, a past winner of the Sheikha Manal Young Artist Award. The debut solo exhibition features a body of work that tells the artist's life story through a variety of mediums including photography and painting.
Subjects in the interdisciplinary show include figures and events of importance in Mhaisen's life and while each medium narrates a story, each one is seemingly created with very different thought processes whereby some will include his own involvement and others, a distinct sense of detachment.
Saif Mhaisen's Work will run from January 25 - February 21, 2016 at Tashkeel's Al Fahidi Gallery, Dubai.

ALBANY — New York is losing out on millions in federal funds for domestic violence programs that have been frozen because Gov. Cuomo has not made good on a promise to fix problems with state policy on the issue.
Despite a vow to the federal Administration for Children and Families in November, Cuomo didn’t include fixes in his initial budget to bring New York into compliance with the Family Violence Prevention and Services Act or the Violence Against Women Act.
Assembly Social Services Committee Chairman Andrew Hevesi (D-Queens) flagged the discrepancy and blasted the governor for not following through on the pledge.
“Despite promising the federal government that New York State will proved funds for domestic violence survivors, Andrew Cuomo has lied and provided no additional funds,” he said. “Counties, domestic violence providers and survivors of domestic violence will suffer as a result.”
The feds froze the funds, estimated to be around $2.5 million, last year after first reaching out to the state in June, alerting officials that New York was out of compliance with federal statutes.
The state was not ensuring that domestic violence victims’ personal information was protected and failing to check that service providers were not charging fees to survivors.
A letter to the state indicates that New York officials have “been aware of the confidentiality provisions for many years” and even received training on the subject. However, the state made domestic violence survivors fill out a public assistance form when seeking shelter, violating the federal statutes protecting their privacy.
The feds, who released half of the money to the state, said officials could comply by “providing survivors with information on how to apply for public assistance, but making it clear that doing so is voluntary and is not necessary in order to receive shelter.”
Laura Velez, the deputy commissioner of Child Welfare and Community Services in New York, told Kenya Fairley, the federal Administration for Children and Families acting director of Family Violence Prevention and Services, in a separate letter dated Nov. 21, 2018, that the state would include a proposal in this year’s budget that would “remove the public assistance application and fee requirements from state statute.”
She also noted that the state would “commit funds to domestic violence in lieu of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families funds” during the freeze out of federal money.
According to Hevesi, who initially provided the letter and other documentation to the Daily News, the Cuomo administration has indicated that the state’s counties will make up the difference in domestic violence funds.
“Counties, domestic violence providers and survivors of domestic violence will suffer as a result" of the Governor’s inaction, Hevesi said.
Cuomo’s office countered by saying that the final state budget, which has yet to be completed and is due April 1, will resolve the issue and noted that no services have been affected.
They also chalked Hevesi’s angst up to a grudge held against the governor for locking up his father, former controller Alan Hevesi, over a pension fund scandal more than a decade ago when he served as attorney general.
“Hevesi’s petty family vendetta aside, the fact is that no New Yorker was impacted as a result of the federal government’s decision to freeze these funds and the actions taken in our Budget not only unfreeze this funding, but also eliminate shelter fees paid by any domestic violence victim, period,” Cuomo aide Jason Conwall said in a statement.
A representative for the Administration for Children and Families did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

WAITTAKER AND CO.; SIMPKIN, MARSHALL, AND CO.; H. WASHBOURNE;
H. G. BOHN; E. HODGSON; H. RENSHAW; J. BAIN; HOULSTON AND
TO THE READER.
In my seventy-fourth year, I have the satisfaction of seeing another work of my daughter brought before the public. This was more than I could have expected from my
age and declining health.
I have been reprehended by some of the public critics for the notices which I have annexed to my daughter's works. As I do not know their reasons for this reprehension, I cannot submit even to their respectable authority. I trust, however, the British public will sympathize with what a father feels for a daughter's literary success, particularly as this father and daughter have written various works in partnership.
The natural and happy confidence reposed in me by my daughter puts it in my power to assure the public that she does not write negligently. I can assert that twice as many pages were written for these volumes as are now printed.
The first of these tales, HARRINGTON, was occasioned by an extremely well-written letter, which Miss Edgeworth received from America, from a Jewish lady, complaining of the illiberality with which the Jewish nation had been treated in some of Miss Edgeworth's works.
The second tale, Ormond, is the story of a young gentleman, who is in some respects the reverse of Vivian. The moral of this tale does not immediately appear, for the author has taken peculiar care that it should not obtrude itself upon the reader.
Public critics have found several faults with Miss Edgeworth's former works—she takes this opportunity of returning them sincere thanks for the candid and lenient manner in which her errors have been pointed out. In the present Tales she has probably fallen into many other faults, but she has endeavoured to avoid those for which she has been justly reproved.
And now, indulgent reader, I beg you to pardon this intrusion, and, with the most grateful acknowledgments, I bid you farewell for ever.
RICHARD LOVELL EdgewoRTH.
Edgeworthstown, May 31, 1817.
Note. Mr. Edgeworth died a few days after he wrote this Preface—the 13th June, 1817.

Grasping the sheets, sweating profusely
Waking up turns out to be fruitless.
Gatherings bring me down to the dirty
Low lying reaches that my brain conceives.
My mind running down every could be moment,
The "what if fears" have taken over.
Muster what courage my SA allows,
I push myself into the crowds.
Heart clenching fear, my memory escapes me.
Lips start to fumble,I'm losing control.
Panic has bitten, frozen, I'm drone.
All I want now is to go home.
When the sun finally sets over my horizon,
I find relief thinking, "I made it to here."
Can't justify why I keep living in fear,
Yet rational thoughts are never too near.
Just as I've given up, my senses exhausted,
I crawl into bed waiting on tears.
Hoping for moments of peace in my slumber,
Finding out, only, I hit replay instead.
Sorry, I know this isn't the section for poems but it's geared towards SA specifically.


Jendrik Springer was born in Göttingen, studied piano with Prof. Karl-Heinz Kömmerling and conducting with Prof. Lutz Köhler. Even during his studies, he began to build a large repertoire as a Lieder accompanist. As a pianist, he has won prizes at numerous competitions – one demonstration of his particular gift for sight-reading was his 1st prize in the 1995 Karl-Bergemann Sight-Reading Competition in Hannover. Today, Jendrik Springer is primarily active in two areas. First, he is regularly invited by several leading conductors to assist them with opera rehearsals, such as Christian Thielemann (most recently »Die Frau ohne Schatten« at the Wiener Staatsoper, »Ariadne auf Naxos« at the Semperoper, Dresden, »Lohengrin« and »Tristan und Isolde« at the Bayreuth Festival), Philippe Jordan (»The Mastersingers of Nuremberg«, »Don Carlos« at the Opéra National de Paris), Sir Simon Rattle (»Parsifal« at the Festspielhaus Baden-Baden, »The Ring of the Nibelungs« at the Wiener Staatsoper), Kirill Petrenko, Franz Welser-Möst and Yannick Nézet-Séguin. From September 2020 he will be the musical assistant to the musical director at the Wiener Staatsoper. On the other side, Jendrik Springer is in demand as a chamber music pianist (including with violinist Janine Jansen), but particularly as a Lieder accompanist. He has regularly performed with singers such as Marlis Petersen, Janina Baechle, Ricarda Merbeth and Adrian Eröd, including at the Wiener Konzerthaus, Salzburg Festival, Wigmore Hall, London, Tonhalle, Zurich, New York’s Carnegie Hall, the Munich Opera Festival and in Tokyo (where for example he accompanied Klaus Florian Vogt in Schubert’s »Die Schöne Müllerin«). Last year he made his debut in the Wiener Musikverein’s Brahms Saal with Krassimira Stoyanova, who he has worked with for years. He gave a demonstration of his well-known versatility in summer 2019 at a festival concert in Bayreuth’s Margravial Opera House in which he appeared as the soloist with Liszt’s Wagner transcriptions, as the accompanist to Camilla Nylund, and as the conductor of Mahler’s »Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen« with Daniel Schmutzhard and members of the Bayreuth Festival orchestra. He recently appeared on TV in an ORFIII live broadcast from the Grosser Sendesaal at the RadioKulturhaus, in which among other pieces he accompanied Anna Netrebko and Valentina Nafornita in Rachmaninov songs. He recorded a CD of Goethe Lieder, »Das Ewig-Weibliche«, for hamonia mundi, which appeared in 2012 and was awarded the Diapason d’Or and the Deutsche Schallplattenkritik prize; recently, the album Songs of the Night with baritone Christian Miede was issued by Capriccio in March.

Paul Johnson was an important pioneer in both of surf music's heydeys. His 1960s band, the Belairs, are regarded (along with Dick Dale's Deltones) as the founders of the genre; their seminal recording of Paul's tune, "Mr. Moto," helped to define the form. And when the modern revival kicked in in 1980, Paul was again at the front of the trend: that was the year his groundbreaking band, the Packards, put out the very first American album to come out of the new surf-instro scene!
That album was Pray For Surf, and this - its first packaging on CD - is long overdue. Included here too is Beach City Bop - the fabled "lost" Packards' album that was recorded in '82 and never before released! Here is the colorful story of the Packards: two albums that recall a vital and exciting chapter in the evolution of modern surf instrumental music.

Hyderabad: Heartbroken and shattered, all of 12, Manju Rani had lost her father, Bhimsen Singh, to stomach cancer. Nowhere to go and none to take out frustration on, Rani found solace in boxing. She preferred punching the bag, hard, and letting go off the anger to sitting at home and mourning the loss of her father, who was a Havaldar with the Border Security Force. After winning a silver medal at the recently concluded Women’s Boxing World Championship in Ulan-Ude, Russia, did Manju think about the very reason for which she donned the boxing gloves? “When I won the medal all I could think of was my mother and all the sacrifices she has done for me. Yes. The reason to pick up a boxing glove could very well have been my father's death but the reason I continued to box was cause I fell in love with the sport,” Manju told this newspaper.
“My coach, Saheb Singh Narwal, has guided me along the way and refused to give up on me even when I wanted to leave boxing in 2017,” the 20-year-old said. Manju had lost the State championships in 2016 and was defeated the following year at the district level. However, it was at Saheb Singh’s insistence that Manju did not give up on boxing.
“I competed at various district meets since 2013. But the breakthrough was just not coming through. If I progressed from the district meets, they would not let me win at the state events. It went on for about five to six years on a loop. Until, I had enough and finally decided to move out of Haryana and compete from Punjab.
In order to play from Punjab, I had to take an admission in a college in Chandigarh. I competed from Punjab in 2019 and won the state championship in the first attempt. In 2019, I beat a girl from Haryana in the women’s final at the National Championship to win my first national title. And from there my career was on a fast track,” Manju recollected.
And she has not looked back. Ever since earning her strides in 2019 — in the national team — Manju has won silver at the Boxing Tournament in Sofia, Bulgaria; a bronze at the India Open in May; another bronze at the Thailand Open in July and now, silver at her maiden World Championship....

"Tate can confirm that at 15.25 this afternoon there was an incident at Tate Modern in which a visitor defaced one of Rothko's Seagram murals by applying a small area of black paint with a brush to the painting. The police are currently investigating the incident," a museum spokeswoman wrote in an e-mail.
Museum-goer Tim Wright witnessed the act of vandalism and posted an image on Twitter.
The 23-year-old Bristol resident said he was at the Tate during a day trip to London with his girlfriend when the couple realized what was going on. He noticed a man walk into the exhibit, but he thought nothing of it until he heard a "smashing sound."
‚ÄúIt was very surreal. It wasn‚Äôt something we expected to see. One minute he sat down, and the next minute he put his foot over the barrier,‚ÄĚ Wright said of the vandal.
Wright said they saw the man as he finished up the tag and then made his getaway. He and his girlfriend stayed at the exhibit while a group of nearby women went to find museum staff. An alarm soon went off, and the museum was evacuated. Wright said he and his girlfriend gave a description of the event to a museum employee.
Tate confirmed that the gallery was "briefly closed" due to the incident.
‚ÄúIt‚Äôs just not the thing you expect to see in an art gallery," Wright said. "I‚Äôve never seen anything like it. It's quite shocking, actually.‚ÄĚ
The defaced painting was a mural from Rothko's famed Seagram series. The Russian-American abstract expressionist was commissioned to do a series of paintings for the Four Seasons restaurant of the Seagram building in New York in 1958. Though he started the series of murals, he famously reneged, deciding the swanky New York restaurant wasn't an appropriate home for his art.
Rothko rejected the commission but completed paintings stemming from the project, many of which made their way into the halls of museums.¬†The murals arrived in London as Rothko killed himself in 1970.
The murals have been on display at many of the Tate's locations as well as the National Gallery of Art in Washington.
Rothko's children, Kate Rothko Prizel and Christopher Rothko, said in a statement that they were thankful for the support of others after the incident.
"The Rothko family is greatly troubled by yesterday's occurrence but has full confidence that the Tate Gallery will do all in its power to remedy the situation," the family said. "Our father donated his legendary Seagram paintings to the museum in 1969 sensing the commitment of the institution to his work and impressed by the warm embrace it had received from the British public. We are heartened to have felt that embrace again in the outpouring of distress and support that we and our father have received both directly and in public forums."
Speculation about the culprit's identity is starting to swirl, but police have offered few specifics. A Met police spokesman said the vandal is "a white man aged in his late 20s who subsequently left the scene, and there have been no arrests at this time.‚ÄĚ

The Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway turned out to be a long, frustrating experience for Ryan Blaney and the No. 21 Motorcraft/Quick Lane team as they finished 31st, 11 laps behind the leaders.
Blaney started 12th and quickly moved into the top 10 only to have the Lady in Black reach out and slap him.
After pitting for repairs from his brush with the wall, Blaney returned to the track two laps in arrears. He took the wave-around to make up one of those laps and was the free pass driver during a caution period at Lap 126.
Back on the lead lap, he quickly dispatched the lap-down drivers he started behind and began working his way back toward the front.
Then Lady Luck turned on him in the form of an engine issue that left him with a loss of power that plague him for the remainder of the race.
Even so, he managed to hang onto the lead lap before more contact with the wall led to a long stay on pit road.
Back on the track, Blaney soldiered his way to the checkered flag in 31st place.
Team co-owner Eddie Wood said there were bright spots from the Throwback-themed weekend at Darlington.
The paint scheme on the No. 21 Motorcraft/Quick Lane Fusion was designed to honor the days in the 1980s when Kyle Petty was the team’s driver.
“We really appreciate Kyle helping out with that,” Wood said. “He wore his uniform from back then, took a lot of pictures and overall did a great job representing our team.”
And, Wood said, it was a great feeling to be at Darlington with its emphasis on the throwback theme and a packed grandstand for Sunday night’s race.
“Outside of the Daytona 500, the Southern 500 at Darlington is as good as it gets,” he said.
Now Wood and the team turn their attention to the final race of the regular season on Saturday night at Richmond Raceway and the start of the playoffs the following week.
“We’ll just keep plugging away and try to have a good run at Richmond to end the regular season strong and start the playoffs on a positive note,” he said.

The lingering recession and rising game development costs are partially to blame for the lack of new machines. As game systems have matured, the cost of making triple-A games has soared. Tent pole titles now cost (on average) between $20 million and $40 million -- and there are some extreme examples, like Rockstar Games' blockbusters "Red Dead Redemption" and "GTA IV," that have reportedly sailed past the $100 million mark.
Next-gen games will cost even more. With publishers struggling to achieve a profit in the current economy, no one is in a hurry to add to their expense sheet.
Console manufacturers are no different.

Her time is over.
Things are looking up.
She’s dirty and ugly.
He’s wicked but handsome.
Six months to toy with her.
Six months of vacation and a ton of money.
I’ll hurt her beyond repair.
I’ve been through much worse.
She's difficult to control and doesn't obey.
I'm done submitting to anyone or anything in this life.
I should hate her.
I should hate him.
The game has changed.
I will win.
Dirty Ugly Toy is a novel that blurs the lines of right and wrong, deals with abuse, contains dubious consent, and adult subject matter. If you are sensitive to violent sexual situations, the book may not be suitable for you. Some parts of this book are not easy to read and are not intended for everyone. However, those that keep an open mind and stick with it will not be disappointed.
Claire's Review 5 of 5 Stars
I bought this book after seeing a few rave reviews on facebook, and decided to see what all the fuss was about!
Dirty Ugly Toy is the story of Braxton Kennedy, who goes in search on 'ugly broken women', the dirtier and more broken the better, and turns them into his 'toy' for six months. After he gets rid of his 19th toy, her seeks out Jessica; a heroine addicted prositute, with the same plan in mind for her, but he soons finds out that she isnt like his usual toys.
The story is fantastically written and amazingly deep. I loved Jessica as a character and loved her strength from everything she has been through.
This book is very deep and dark in places, and made me step out of my comfort zone. Part of me understood exactly why Braxton did what he did, yet the other part of me thought he was slightly psycho! The story deals with abuse, in a totally different way and felt so much differant to anything I have read before.
This is definately not a read for the faint hearted.

Florida A&M athletes are giving back to the community.
The students of Hartsfield Elementary School anticipate the weekly arrival of Thursday to have a chance to meet and eat with student athletes from FAMU.
FAMU Athletics Lunch Buddies program was designed to give student athletes an opportunity to give back by engaging with the community in an informal way.
Every Thursday for one hour, athletes from a variety of FAMU’s sports teams come together to have lunch with the students at the school. Many of FAMU athletes have created bonds with some of the students which in turn builds confidence for the students.
Football player and president of the Student Athlete Advisory Committee Sharard Saddlers says, “It’s my favorite day of the week. I think I am happier to see them than they are to see me.”
Senior public relations student and FAMU cheerleader Evelyn Ross, also had great things to say about the Lunch Buddies program.
“I truly enjoy coming to interact with the kids during their lunch time. It really makes them happy to see us and I enjoy being apart of this program,” she said.
During their lunch period, students are seated in their designated areas where the athletes come to join them with a variety of activities to participate in. Athletes assist with arts and crafts as well as a plethora of card and board games. The goal of lunch buddies is to give athletes the opportunity to build relationships with the students. Through creating personal bonds, FAMU athletics will receive the support desired from those within the community.
Xavier Mackey, co-advisor of Lunch Buddies, expressed his gratitude towards the program.
“This program started roughly three years ago. The purpose is to give our time in a different manner so instead of giving back in a formal setting where we mentor the kids and try to push them to strive for success, we try to do it in an informal way so they can gain that trust and listen to us and I think the programs has been really successful,”
The overall goal of the lunch buddies program has been a success thus far. Looking forward to the future, FAMU athletics has hopes to expand their program within the next year.


In the inaugural episode of its fourth season, “The Office” manages to address nipple chafing, bat birth control and a Race for the Cure benefit run to increase awareness of rabies (which, incidentally, already has a cure).
The show’s downplayed, absurdist humor has earned it a steady fan following as well as critical acclaim. “This is going to be a very good year,” according to boss Michael Scott (Steve Carell) on his way to the office â€” right before he accidentally runs over his employee Meredith (Kate Flannery) in the parking lot, a laugh-out-loud scene that sets the tone for the rest of the episode.
For fans of the show, the episode will likely feel like a reunion with old friends. Rainn Wilson is still in fine form as oblivious office lapdog Dwight Schrute, who mercy kills girlfriend Angela’s (Angela Kinsey) ailing cat and voices suspicion over Meredith’s pelvic fracture. Michael is still reliable for classic blunders (like pulling out Meredith’s IV in the hospital as he tries to tie balloons to her bed) and improper word choices (“I’m not superstitious, but I’m a little stitious.”)
The first few episodes of Season Four will run for an hour instead of their usual 30 minutes, and it’s evident that some of the material used in the premiere would have ended up on the cutting room floor or on the outtakes section of the DVD, such as some of Michael’s too-long monologues. But it’s still a wonder that these cast members can keep straight faces when Carell utters presumably unscripted lines like, “something with the body of an egret and the head of a meerkat” when contemplating animal sacrificing rituals.
Last season’s finale ended with a cliffhanger (or, at least, as much of a cliffhanger as is possible in a series about desk jobs), when Jim (John Krasinski) at long last asked Pam (Jenna Fisher) out on a date and she accepted. Their newfound romance isn’t directly addressed until midway through the season premiere, when the omnipresent camera crew inexplicably shows the pair a tape of them kissing.
But while viewers will undoubtedly be satisfied to finally see Pam and Jim as a happy couple, their relationship could be a double-edged sword by removing much of the suspense that kept viewers tuned in every week. A return appearance by Jim’s ex Karen (Rashida Jones), whose dismissal early on in the premiere felt too quick, might make for an interesting plot twist later in the season. For now, viewers can rely on nipple chafing and bat birth control to keep them entertained.


Enoch Porch delivers on the inspirational Change. The artist captures an elusive vibe in the world of retro pop. He’s able to capture the authentic feel of sentimental 80s classics by artists like Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel. In part its attributed to his ability as a songwriter and arranger. Change evolves like a classic composition, with variation that displays an attention to his craft and an understanding of what makes a song captivating. The slow burn into the songs upbeat outro never drags, rather it wraps you in a sonic blanket that calls you to nestle in its warmth. It’s attributed to the sweet sonic choices. A soft electric piano encompasses the atmosphere as a bass synth patiently marks each changing chord. The guitar playing recalls the unassuming retro works of John Mayer, though Enoch Porch is considerably more wave than Mayer’s crossover New Light.
Change should please most fans of indie pop, and automatically welcomed by the retrowave community. A solid 80s style throwback that’s singular as a composition, it connects with synthwave classics by Floret De Vin and The Midnight. Enoch Porch admits he was raised on a restrictive diet of classical vinyls and Phillip Sousa. You can probably review his parents entire collection at your local thrift store. Coincidentally its the same music that bred those timeless 80s classics. Coincidentally, Enoch Porch was raised on the same music as the founders.

Hush Bewlay is a musician who lives and swims in LA, California. It’s a simple sentiment that serves as his description on Spotify. Though the suggestion seems straight forward, the musical design of his new EP I’m A Stranger Here presents inspirational complexities. Beautifully produced and melodically entrancing, the slightly dark-new-wave-pop of the opening track Stranger hooked us out the gate. At the heart of Hush Belway’s appeal is a consistently convincing lead vocal, full of the attitude and swagger that made post punk sexy. It’s a bit of INXS and Depeche Mode with the indie sensibility of Future Islands or The National. It even projects shades of Bowie, which makes sense considering the artist took half of his name from Bowie’s infamous Bewlay Brothers.
Like Future Islands, Hush Bewlay adapts retro vibes within a modern indie sonic landscape. He wears his influences on his sleeve, like on the Springsteen-esque Every Living Thing Adores You. Springsteen just doesn’t get enough credit for his contributions to 80s pop. His influence on modern icons like War On Drugs and The Killers bodes well with Hush Bewlay, who should please fans of both projects.
Hush Bewlay is most complicated on the experimental jam Emulator. He embraces the spirit of Tubeway Army and those initial innovators who used electronic instruments to evolve popular music.
The first 3 tracks are straight up hits. They are each proper singles with mainstream indie pop appeal. They come NPR ready and should please fans of the aforementioned comparisons and associated acts. With the closing number Hush Bewlay offers a glimpse into how an album might progress. The Cathedral Swings is an immersive trip into the artists auditory dream world.
The whole album slaps, we’ve included both Stranger and Emulator on our Best New Synthwave Playlist
Raymond Revel isn’t shy to suggest he’s Nowhere Close To Famous. The title of his new single, it might sound like a downer, but Revel brings an upbeat clever twist. Lyrically it’s clear that Revel is relieved he isn’t paparazzi level famous, and he’s probably in the right. Not everyone hates being famous, but most stars admit that they comes to resent it. You don’t have to dig too deep to find superstars going out of their way to blend in and appear anonymous.
Revel dresses his poetic tale of relief in an infectious retro package. The melodic appeal is serene, but its the percussive details that really grabbed us. Both the drums samples and a lot of the synth choices are percussive by design, adding melodies with percussive textures. It’s a classic nostalgic design that never gets old.
Revel’s a strong singer and a solid lyricist. He dips in and out of his falsetto effortlessly, flexing his impressive range.
A recurring theme among breakout artists is that the best of times are when you’re still chasing your dream. Revel touches on it with the line “I’ll always keep on chasing, and I’ll always love the view.”
Despite his humble nature, Revel has some impressive stream numbers to date. With catchy appeal he should be on the cusp of stardom. Nowhere Close to Famous will connect with the synthwave community. He brings the charm of mainstream acts like Death Cab into the wave world, dressing the new single in the style of synthwave faves like FM-84 and Michael Oakley.

Jeffrey Chan is refreshingly honest on the revelatory Over. The song is a catchy retro dipped jam on its own, but paired with the video it communicates a deeper meaning.
Alternating between scenes in a classical cubicle style office and choreographed neon glamour shots, the music video for Over hits like a classic 80s montage. It has all the charm and sincerity of mega movies like Maniac and Footloose. Chan is equally captivating, busting with energy and corporate angst. He shares that classic 80s aura of wanting to break out of acquired social norms, away from the burden of social expectations. It’s that same vision that catapulted mega hit Dirty Dancing. A fire inside that drive you to DANCE.
It’s an awareness, an awakening that fuels Chan and the dance routine in Over.
“Was it only like this when we touched, I guess we couldn’t live up to the rush, and now that its over, I’m finally sober, I guess that it’s over.” The lyrics suggest It might be more than the corporate machine that causing Chan to lose his mind. Like a lost romantic, deep desire and the experience of incredible satisfaction leave him wasted. It’s now impossible to enjoy the pursuit of monetary success knowing the most enticing pleasure eludes him.
We got lost in Over’s thematic offerings, but its also just a straight up bop of a pop hit. It was the spirit of 80s dance hits with a hint of modern electro pop and EDM. It connects with synthwave projects like Sebastian Gampl and The G, who make undeniably authentic pop gems.

The healthcare technology space will continue to shift in 2016, with significant attention being placed on improving interoperability and increasing consumer power, according to Damo Consulting, Inc., CEO Paddy Padmanabhan, in his article, Five Healthcare Technology Predictions for 2016, published this week on CIO.com.
1) Focus on Interoperability
Despite more than $28 billion being spent on healthcare technology, such as Electronic Medical Records, these technologies don’t necessarily integrate with one another, which creates a major roadblock to the sharing of health information.More than two thirds (69%) of hospital systems polled reported that interoperability will be a major focus in the coming year.
CIO.com predicts that 2016 will see a big push toward interoperability, with a major emphasis on streamlining health data and improving the efficiency of communication between providers.
2) Emphasis on Consumerism
The rise in funding for digital health start-ups indicates that consumers want healthcare delivered to them in a useful and meaningful way. This is a major departure from the way healthcare works today.
A report by McKinsey published this month suggests that consumers are bringing the same expectations to healthcare as they would in other industries, particularly technology-based industries. We can expect to see healthcare providers implementing and deploying digital technologies that provide better communication and more real-time interaction.
3) Growth of Big Data & Analytics
According to consulting firm Deloitte’s 2015 Health System Analytics survey, while analytics is seen as a key to unlock value, the adoption and investment don’t necessary add up; most organizations lack a clear strategy, a solid data governance approach, and effective budgeting models. Lack of interoperability and persistent data silos contribute to this problem. Expect to see more progress toward effective healthcare data management in 2016, though it’s still in its infancy.
4) Start-Ups & Regulatory Agencies
The healthcare start-up marketplace has been booming in recent years, but in 2016 we should expect to start to see some of those fall by the wayside. The FDA has announced it will start going after mobile medical apps that claim to provide “scientifically proven” benefits. Expect to see the mobile healthcare app space shaken up a bit as regulatory agencies get more involved.
5) Emergence of Non-CIO Executives
As healthcare technology becomes increasing intertwined with everyday business practices, expect to see a new type of executive emerge to lead the deployments of agile, consumer-facing, cloud-based, scalable and dynamic IT applications. Big data analytics programs are already run today by Chief Analytics Officers (CAO), who have a direct relationship with executive leadership in healthcare enterprises. In order to stay relevant, healthcare CIOs will need to learn how to effectively navigate this new landscape, where IT decisions increasingly impact other aspects of hospital management and the delivery of care.
CIO.com serves Chief Information Officers (CIOs), other IT leaders, as well as the ecosystem that surrounds and interacts with them, CIO Executive Programs, CIO Strategic Marketing Services and CIO magazine are produced by CXO Media, an award-winning business unit of IDG Enterprise.

Red tape displayed on stools act as social distancing markers at a food market in the district of Whampoa in Singapore, on Tuesday, March 24, 2020.
Singapore has announced stiff fines and jail for those who do not observe social distancing measures put in place to contain the coronavirus outbreak.
According to a press release from the Ministry of Health on Thursday, people who do not observe physical distancing of one meter in “non-transient” interactions can be fined up to 10,000 Singapore dollars ($6,985) or be jailed up to six months, or face both penalties.
Such interactions include people on seats not fixed to the floor, who intentionally sit less than one meter from another seated individual in a public place. People standing in a queue in public places who are less than one meter away from the next person, will also be prosecuted, according to the rules.
The regulations took effect overnight and will be in place till April 30.
Similar penalties also apply to patients with acute respiratory symptoms who depart from their homes even though they have been issued with five days of medical leave. Residents who breach the 14-day stay-home notices issued to them after their return from another country will also have to comply or face fines or imprisonment, or both.
The number of cases in the city-state started climbing last week compared to February and early March, with most of the new cases imported. Singapore had 683 cases as of Thursday.
Earlier this week, on Tuesday, Singapore announced stricter measures to contain the spread of the coronavirus. These include limiting gatherings outside of work and school to a maximum of 10 persons. Physical distancing of at least one meter is also required in public settings such as restaurants and queues.
Bars, clubs, cinemas and other entertainment outlets are also shut till April 30. Malls and restaurants have been ordered to reduce crowds if they were to stay open. Religious services are suspended.
Despite being one of the earliest countries to report the outbreak, Singapore has not imposed a full shutdown, with schools, offices and shops staying open.
On Thursday, Singapore said it was setting aside another 48 billion Singapore dollars ($33.64 billion) to support its businesses and households after official preliminary estimates showed the Southeast Asian economy shrinking by more than expected in the first quarter of this year.

The laughing kookaburra, so named for its shrieking call that can be mistaken for laughter, is native to coastal areas of Australia, Tasmania and New Guinea. This species is a carnivore using its relatively large beak to catch insects and small vertebrates. To cope with arid conditions, the kookaburra does not drink and can survive on the moisture it receives from its prey.

Monopole ultrasonic pulses having different pulse widths are generated from the piezo-ceramic planar and concave circular transducers using the cycloid function voltages with different rise time as an exciting voltage. The on-axis pressure characteristics of the monopole ultrasonic pulse are observed. As the experimental results, the monopole ultrasonic pulse radiated from a planar transducer is changed to the bipolar pulse by the interference between direct wave and edge wave. The limit of distance for near field of the monopole ultrasonic pulse varies with the pulse width. In case of the concave transducer, the main cause of the change from monopole ultrasonic pulse to bipolar one around the focus is estimated by the diffraction effect of direct wave. The position of the maximum amplitude of the on-axis pressure moved from the center of the curvature with the difference of the pulse widths is also observed.

The Zecuity skin patch has been approved by the U.S. Food and Health Administration for use by adults who suffer from migraines with an aura or without
January 20, 2013 – The Zecuity skin patch has been approved by the U.S. Food and Health Administration for use by adults who suffer from migraines with an aura or without. The single-use only battery powered skin patch offers relief of nausea caused by migraines, as well as the migraine headache itself. Over 16 million adults in the U.S. suffer migraines.
Eight million of those also have nausea that is migraine related and usually avoid use of any oral medications. Along with the severe pain from the migraine, patients with have other significant symptoms, which can commonly include nausea said the patch’s manufacturer NuPathe Inc.
The patch can be applied to the area of the upper thigh or arm during the migraine and then activated by pushing a button Medicine is delivered via the patch through the wearer’s skin bypassing the patient’s stomach. Over a four-hour period, 6.5 milligrams of medication are delivered.
Studies of over 800 patients with migraines who used over 10,000 patches showed the patch effectively and safely relieved pain from migraines, nausea related to migraines and light and sound sensitivity within the first two hours of use.
The tests showed that after two hours of use 18% of the patients with the patch no longer had a headache, compared to just 9% of those who used a placebo. After two hours of use, 53% of those wearing patches, had some form of relief to their headache, compared to 29% who had just placebos. In addition, after just two hours, 84% using the patch did not have nausea, compared with 63% of those who received just a placebo.
Common side effects with the medication occurred in over 5% of the patients. The side effects included tingling at the patch site, warmth, itching and some discomfort. People with high blood pressure that is uncontrollable or with heart disease should not take the drug.

Bitcoin jumps since BlackRock filing
Bitcoin dominance rose today to surpass the combined market cap of all the other cryptocurrencies. The pioneer cryptocurrency rose to this level for the first time since May 2021.
Bitcoin Market Cap enjoys increase
According to data from TradingView, the BTC dominance metric rose above 50% on Monday. This is the first time since May 2021, when Bitcoin’s price fell due to China banning crypto mining.
This feat was nearly entered in June 2022 following aggressive monetary tightening policies in the US as high inflation plunged the market.
The BTC dominance metric has been criticised for undervaluing the true market capitalization of Bitcoin since the metric included stablecoins in its calculations. Stablecoins are effectively digital dollars equivalent to the US dollar. Despite, stablecoins has also suffered a recession since the Securities and Exchange Commission forced Paxos to start winding down BUSD in February, erasing billions of dollars in tokens from circulation.
Bitcoin is now up 6% since last week and 1.62% over the 24 hours. The coin now trades at $26,764.
BlackRock filing pushes BTC and GBTC
Last week’s application by the $9.5T asset manager BlackRock caused a steer in the market. The form applied to the SEC for a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF). As a result market sentiment shifted in favour of Bitcoin and sent Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) into an uptrend.
Before the markets closed on Friday, GBTC saw a gain of more than 12%, with share prices reaching $15.12, according to Yahoo Finance. In celebration of Juneteenth, a federal holiday marking the day word reached Texas that slaves had been freed, U.S. markets were closed on Monday.
This sentiment has been reinforced by recent market movements. According to analytics firm Glassnode, the so-called “shrimps” and “fish” in the Bitcoin ecosystem, have seen an increase in their holdings as of Monday, June 19. These entities reportedly absorbed 2,286 BTC every day, or the equivalent of 254% of the mined supply, over the previous month.

Use kitchen island ideas to better understand how to create a more functional and comfortable kitchen. Using custom kitchen islands means having the most appropriate island for your home and kitchen area based on your kitchen space and your needs. Kitchen island ideas take us back to the farmhouse kitchen, even back to medieval times when a large worktable was used to do most of the preparation work.
Consider the Services ; If you need a power supply for appliances, you can run it up through a pipe or conduit up to the ceiling, or even better, run a line below the floorboards up into the kitchen island. Make sure your installation conforms to local and national regulations. You are advised to employ a qualified electrician to do this.
Kitchen islands have become one of the most popular kitchen features in America. These handy workspaces can include numerous extras to enhance your kitchen's beauty and functionality. Most islands have sinks, drawers, eating areas, and additional counter space. As you know, there's never enough work space in a kitchen no matter how much you have, so an island can offer you the room to expand.
If you are not looking just for resale value, and we assume many of you will actually want to use your island, just think if the main uses for the island before construction. Will it be a place for the kids to eat breakfast or a baking center for your wife who like to make pies and cakes? The design should really follow the function when it comes to an island. For example, if you are tired of not being able to put hot pots directly on your countertop, install granite on your island, where placing a red hot pan should be no problem.
