We are extremely excited to launch our brand new online course with one of the most influential instrumental hip-hop producers of the 21st century, RJD2.
When he first hit the scene with his acclaimed 2002 album Deadringer, sampling artist and innovator RJD2 proved that it was possible to make infectious instrumental hip-hop beats for a wide audience without the need for a singer or MC. Since then, he’s taken on one creative challenge after another, from composing the TV theme music for Mad Men to collaborating with vocalists and rappers, and taking the art of sampling to new heights.
Sign up for RJD2: From Samples to Songs, and learn from RJ himself how to write and arrange music drawing on the power of sampling records and a collage-based mindset. He will show you how he personally tackles new tracks with his trusty MPC, and he’ll open up sessions from some of his classic tracks to show how they were made.
You’ll learn new approaches to sampling, songwriting, and arranging, and how to make instrumental beats that capture someone’s attention from start to finish. Along the way, RJ will share with you his wisdom, perspectives, and advice for fulfilling your creative dreams.
RJD2’s music shows how you can make exciting art within radical constraints. In fact, that’s what so much of his process is based on. In this course we’ll explore those constraints and how they can help you create powerful new music.
This course is for anyone interested in producing compelling instrumental music drawing from a sampling tradition — no previous experience or MPC required. Drop that needle and let’s get started!
Let’s talk about outcomes. In this course, RJ’s going to take us down the rabbit hole of sampling and songwriting. More specifically, we’re going to cover:
- The history and background of sampling and how it evolved,
- RJ’s creative process and how he comes up with ideas,
- How RJ uses his MPC to capture and manipulate samples (and we’ll show you how to do it in the DAW, as well),
- RJ’s approach to chopping samples and turning them into a beat,
- A deep dive into the process and sounds behind some of his most well-known songs, and
- A wide variety of different arranging techniques RJ uses to keep his music interesting.
Preview a full lesson in RJD2: From Samples to Songs.
Meet Your Instructor
Producer, DJ, & Composer
Ramble Jon Krohn, better known by his stage name RJD2, is a songwriter, composer, and producer known for his genre-defying tunes and versatile sampling-based approach to music.
His first album, Deadringer, was released on Definitive Jux label in 2002 and was widely acclaimed as a landmark in hip-hop instrumental beat making. Since then, he’s released six more albums under his solo moniker, traversing a wide array of genres from hip-hop to funk to indie rock and beyond. He’s also been involved in a number of collaborations and remixes, including for such artists as Massive Attack, Tycho, and Polyphonic Spree.
His track “A Beautiful Mine” became widely recognizable as the theme for AMC’s hit show Mad Men.

There’s been a fairly steady drumbeat of headlines through the month of June proclaiming that Donald Trump has slipped, fallen behind or wasted the first six weeks of the general election. But every time terrorism raises its ugly head again, the Democrats tend to take a beating and it appears that the Orlando attack was no exception. A new poll from Morning Consult shows that Trump is trusted slightly more than Hillary Clinton when it comes to keeping the nation safe against the threat of Islamic terrorists by a plurality of 41-37 percent.
What’s perhaps more interesting in this survey is one of The Donald’s “least popular” ideas: the temporary ban on Muslim travel or immigration to the United States. This proposal has been condemned by Democrats, Republicans and media mavens alike. You’re hard pressed to find anyone willing to stand within shouting distance of a camera and say they agree with him. Now, I still have no idea how such a thing would work in practice unless someone has come up with a Muslim DNA test I haven’t heard about, but our media and political thought leaders might not be on the same page as the rest of the country.
Following the Orlando shooting, Trump reiterated his call for a temporary ban on Muslims traveling to the U.S. Overall, Americans are largely split on the idea. Almost half (48 percent) said they support a ban, 40 percent said they oppose and 11 percent said they didn’t know or had no opinion.
There is a major divide on this issue along party lines. Almost half of Republicans (49 percent) said they strongly support this proposal, compared with 26 percent of independents and 16 percent of Democrats.
That’s only two points short of a majority supporting a Muslim travel ban. When respondents were given more specific choices in terms of banning travel from particular nations, the numbers shifted even more in Trump’s favor.
Despite all the “conventional wisdom” coming from cable news talking heads, you can find majorities of Americans who are in favor of banning travel and immigration from six majority Muslim nations. Syria and Iraq are at the top of the list for obvious reasons, being the homeland of ISIS, but Afghanistan, Pakistan and Libya aren’t far behind. Even Saudi Arabia pulls majority support for a ban which is a bit more puzzling.
The really strange numbers in the chart come from the lower end of the list. There’s now a plurality in favor of banning all immigration from Mexico. (Understandable, I suppose, with all of the criminal illegal alien news regularly coming our way.) But… Belgium? Shutting off the flow from Belgium garnered support from nearly a third of respondents. But the real shocker was that almost one quarter were in favor of banning immigrants from… Canada. I’m not sure if that one is based on a concern over terrorists coming in across the northern border, a general “just close all the damn borders” attitude or healthy number of folks who still choose to Blame Canada. I would just remind the 23% who chose that option that if we ban immigration from Canada, they may turn around and do the same to us. And Lena Dunham has promised to move there if Trump wins. If they impose a ban on us we may be stuck with her, so that’s something you might want to take into consideration.
Either way, the numbers remain pretty clear, and this isn’t the first time we’ve seen it. For all the talk about xenophobia, isolationism, nationalism and all the rest, Americans aren’t listening to the scolding coming from the talking heads on their TV screens. There is understandable angst over a continued flow of people arriving here from locations which are being ripped apart by terrorism and Trump has tapped into that national sense of concern.

London Bridge Station is being transformed into a vision of the future, creating new platforms for more trains, building a new concourse and creating a bigger, better station. London Bridge is the fourth busiest station in the UK, bringing around 50 million passengers into the city each year. The changes being made will introduce hundreds of Thameslink trains every day - one every three minutes - offering better connections than ever before and helping London run better.
The project is being funded by the Thameslink programme, a £6bn Government investment in rail.
Using Tekla Structures and achieving BIM Level 2, Waldeck are producing engineering drawings and schedules for over 4,000 precast concrete elements of platform structure. All models are created in 3D and automatically transferred into 2D deliverables for the client. The redevelopment work is being carried out by Costain and Hyder / WSP on behalf of Network Rail, with the precast platforms being supplied by Charcon Specialist Products.
To date Waldeck have provided information for the prototype area and the detailed Stage 1 construction and manufacturing drawings of the project which is being used to enable assessment of the constructability, maintenance and co-ordination of drainage and electrical services to the platforms.
Using Tekla Structures software, the team is collaborating to BIM Level 2. The software is being used to share models in multiple formats with the main contractor and client. The software is also used to track progress and provide high level unit details to ensure manufacturing is kept on schedule.
The co-ordination of models has been particularly challenging as Waldeck have needed to use global co-ordinates for sharing models to and from the main contractor and designers.
The team has been using Bentley AecoSIM in collaboration of the DGN and IFC files. They have produced specific components and unit profiles for the various unit types in Tekla, which has greatly improved our modeling output, also included within this are various seam joints and cutting components to be able to develop the unit shapes required. Waldeck have also been able to split the model into phases to demonstrate model changes, unit amendments, individual platforms and construction phases for the client and main contractors.
The ability to co-ordinate the model between various software solutions and file formats, has provided all design parties the ability to effectively collaborate models and drawings, throughout the development and detailed design process.
The speed in which drawings can be created has been a huge advantage to Waldeck in providing Charcon with manufacturing drawings and bar bending and mesh schedules. It has also enabled Charcon to use Tekla BIMsight to view models during manufacturing to reduce the amount of factory queries.


Spy Baskets! The dangling Torpedo of Zeppelin Navigation
Posted on 07 April 2016
By WWI, the Germans had developed fairly sophisticated passenger Zeppelins. It took them pretty much no time to figure out that it would be easy to rain bombs down on enemy cities using these quiet airships capable of carrying an impressive payload. One of the problems with using a Zeppelin in war was that they were basically just floating bombs themselves, being that they were full of hydrogen gas. If a ship could be kept above the clouds, it would be difficult for men on the ground too shoot it down, though this made it nearly impossible for the Zeppelin to locate its targets.
Airships communicated using radio. During this era, if a radio was to receive messages from long distances, it needed a substantial antenna. The solution was to dangle a long wire from the airship with a weight on the bottom to keep it from flapping around. Some inventive German came up with the idea of dangling a man in a basket in leu of a weight at the end of the antenna.
The antenna wire was constructed of three layers: steel on the outside, then a rubber layer, then brass. The layered wires were connected to a telephone at both ends allowing the man in the spy basket to communicate with the pilot of the airship. In this way, the airships were able to cruise above the cloud line with only the small, man sized basket dangling up to 750 meters below, directing the crew above as to what direction to fly and when and where to drop bombs. Although it was a lonely and uncomfortable job, it was still somewhat desirable as the spy basket was the only place the crew was permitted to smoke while in flight.

Identification of prediction model on population buildup of Dactynotus carthemi HRL on safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) for timely intervention
N Chaudhuri, D Banerjee, A Ghosh and SK Senapati
The present study was aimed to identify the prediction model on population buildup of major insect-pest of safflower, the safflower aphid, Dactynotus carthemi HRL for timely intervention for its management. The study was carried out in the Instructional farm of Uttar Banga Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Pundibari, Cooch Behar, West Bengal, India during December, 2013 to May, 2014. The result showed that the abiotic factors altogether contributed 95.7% variation in aphid infestation. The maximum temperature had 69% contribution in the population buildup. Temperature regime between 16-20 °C minimum temperature to 31-36 °C maximum temperature was found most important for population buildup of safflower aphid. Prajneshu growth model (IASRI model) was found to be most suitable non-linear growth model for prediction of the pest population build up. The pest population starts increasing on and from 13th standard week. The optimum time to take control measure was in the 15th standard week as a prophylactic measure to check the peak pest population, which was attained at the 16th week (103.26/5cm) and maintained at higher level till 17th week as evidenced from pattern of population growth. So, the Prajneshu growth model can be explored for predicting the population buildup of the pest as well as exact time for intervention through insecticidal application to avoid the crop loss.

We were offered Rs 3bn after Lahore rally: Imran
02 October, 2014
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan claimed on Wednesday that on his return from Sunday's massive rally in Lahore, he was offered Rs 3 billion but he rejected them, saying "he is not for sale".
Imran Khan, however, did not give details as to why he was offered such a huge amount and for what. The PTI on Wednesday marked Women's Day at the protest sit-in. Addressing the participants of the sit-in at D Chowk atop his container, the PTI chief acknowledged that he has gotten his present position due to the training of his mother and he always respected the women.
He claimed he never misbehaved with any women "and today we have specially observed Women's Day". He appreciated attendance of women at the PTI sit-in. He said that every civilised society of the world respects women and their rights and that "Naya Pakistan" would set the precedent of respecting women and their rights.
"We should not import values from Indian films because of the fact that they copy English culture and are destroying ours," Imran pleaded. He said a foreign society may be ahead of ours in technology, but it may not respect women the way Pakistanis do. He said that "bad values prevailed in Pakistani society due to films of Bollywood" and said women should be respected in civilised societies.
"We have most women attendants in sit-ins." Imran deplored that the Pakistani society, instead of adopting the path of evolution, has fallen prey to backwardness. He said everything that comes from Europe is not always good. "The extent of respect which Islam and Pakistani give to their mothers is not known in Europe," Imran Khan said.


The correlation between the plot area on which the building is constructed and the building floor area that can be used or is allowed to be used
Over 1.8 million professionals use CFI to learn accounting, financial analysis, modeling and more. Start with a free account to explore 20+ always-free courses and hundreds of finance templates and cheat sheets.
Floor Area Ratio (FAR) indicates the correlation between the plot area on which the building is constructed and the building floor area that can be used or is allowed to be used.
A higher floor area ratio implies an urban or denser construction. FAR guidelines are determined by the municipalities and differ from one locality to another.
The floor area ratio can be determined by using the following formula:
Floor Area Ratio (FAR) = Total Building Floor Area / Gross Lot Area
Floor Area Ratio (FAR) refers to the relationship between the area upon which the building is constructed and the building floor area that is usable or is allowed to be used.
FAR guidelines are determined by municipalities and generally differ from one locality to another.
Ratio will vary depending on the variation in population density, construction-related activities, growth patterns, and the nature of the building’s space or land.
Example of Using Floor Area Ratio (FAR)
Assume that a plot of land comes with a floor area ratio (FAR) of 3.0, and the lot area is 1,000 square feet. A single-story building covering 3,000 square feet (3.0 * 1,000 square feet) can be constructed. A three-story building covering 1,000 square feet can also be constructed.
Interpretation of Floor Area Ratio
The floor area ratio considers not only the footprint of the building but also the building’s entire floor area. Unoccupied areas like parking garages, elevator shafts, and basements are not included in the calculation of a floor area ratio.
Localities may experience limited space or limited capacity, and the use beyond that capacity puts stress on them. It can be referred to as the safe load factor.
The variation in population density, construction-related activities, growth patterns, and the nature of the building’s space or land cause the FAR to vary. Since the safe load factors for agricultural, residential, and industrial spaces are different, the FAR is different for the different spaces. The local governments set up restrictions and regulations to establish FAR.
Floor area ratio (FAR) can also help in determining the development level in an economy. The real estate industry seeks increases in the FAR, implying that they seek to open up land resources and spaces to developers.
A higher FAR enables developers to finish high density construction projects, which, in turn, leads to increased sales and supply and decreased expenses per project. On the other hand, a low FAR restrains constructions and growth.
If the FAR increases, the property may become more valuable in the event the building is constructed in a way that allows more space or more people.
Purpose of Floor Area Ratio (FAR)
The floor area ratio figure can be used by local governments to divide land areas into zones to restrict urban density. The ratio not only restricts building density but also puts a restriction on the number of persons allowed in a building in the absence of controls on the external shape of the building.
For example, assume that the FAR to be followed by a plot of land is 0.2. It implies that the total floor areas of all the buildings’ floors on the said plot of land should not exceed one-fifth of the plot area.
Hence, if the plot is 15,000 square feet, the aggregate floor areas of the floors in all the buildings on the plot should not be more than 3,000 square feet.
Architects can plan to consume the allowable area in either a single-story building or multi-story building. However, for the same floor area, the footprint of the multi-story building should be smaller than that of a single-story building.
Certain flexibility in the building design can be allowed when the vertical and horizontal limits are combined into one figure. The benefit of considering the floor area as unchanging is that it is consistent with the other considerations applicable to zoning regulations.

Samsung is the first smartphone company to work with Google Cloud to enable cloud-based integration of Gemini Pro and Imagen 2 on Vertex AI for their smartphones.
The press conference was introduced by Jong-Hee (JH) Han, Vice Chairman, CEO, and Head of Samsung’s Device eXperience (DX) Division. He explained how AI will make it possible for linked devices to enhance people’s daily lives while always staying unobtrusive and “in the background.” The approach he and others presented centred on how AI may improve simple and practical connected experiences. During the press conference, Samsung showcased several products and services that assist in accomplishing these objectives.
“Smarter, better experiences will redefine how we live as artificial intelligence emerges,” Han predicted. “Samsung’s wide range of potent products and commitment to open collaboration will help make AI and hyper-connectivity accessible to everyone.”
Google and Samsung have long had similar views about how important it is to make technology more beneficial and available to people.
Jonathan Gabrio, Head of Connected Experience Centre at Samsung Electronics America, described how artificial intelligence (AI) is changing how people use digital appliances and visual display goods during the CES press conference. For instance, the Samsung Neo QLED 8K QN900D has an integrated AI processor, the NQ8 AI Gen 3, that is two times quicker than its predecessor’s NPU and has an eight times larger AI neural network. The Samsung Neo QLED 8K automatically upscales low-resolution video to bring customers a viewing experience up to 8K quality, and AI Motion Enhancer Pro helps to sharpen pictures that move quickly. This is made possible by the NQ8 AI Gen3 processor.
The Active Voice Amplifier Pro feature of the Samsung Neo QLED 8K enhances your TV watching experience by using artificial intelligence to analyse background noise and voice. This allows you to enjoy a variety of material as if you’re in the front row of a stadium or movie theatre. Tizen OS Home, which enhances your entertainment experience with the newest apps, services, tailored content, and service recommendations, is another feature of the Samsung Neo QLED 8K.
Samsung Neo QLED’s accessibility capabilities
For viewers with various requirements, Samsung also offers cutting-edge accessibility capabilities. For people who are hard of hearing, the Samsung Neo QLED’s sign language function may be simply operated with motions, and for those who are low vision, an Audio Subtitle feature converts text subtitles into spoken words in real time.
Additionally, Samsung is launching The Premiere 8K, a projector with a 150-inch display that also boasts the first-ever wireless 8K projector transmission in the globe. Users will be able to enjoy a cinema-like, full-scale viewing experience in the comfort of their own homes with The Premiere 8K.
To audio, Samsung also unveiled Music Frame, a speaker that blends in perfectly with consumers’ houses and has a cover that can be customised. The Music Frame synchronises with Samsung TVs and soundbars via Q-Symphony, effortlessly delivering enhanced surround sound and deep bass from two integrated woofers to the household.
Major improvements have also been made by Samsung to Ballie, the rolling AI robot that was first unveiled at CES 2020. Now that it has developed into an AI companion, Ballie can now communicate with other smart devices to offer personalised services like handling tedious chores or projecting pictures and videos onto walls so that users can view important information for their everyday lives, like the weather, or other pertinent content, from anywhere.
To improve accessibility, Samsung is introducing new features like hands-free gesture recognition for digital appliances. Furthermore, TVs and screens have a new AI-enabled text-to-speech feature that translates subtitles into spoken audio, and mobile devices provide captions for calls automatically. With Samsung TVs’ new Relumino Together viewing mode, people of all vision levels may watch TV together—with or without visual modifications—to help those who are even less able to see. All of them can now simultaneously enjoy home entertainment.


Set to go on sale in the spring of 2017, the 2018 C-HR is being billed as the perfect vehicle for “yuccies" who are described as the "young urban creatives" who helped to inspire the model's design.
Since the production model won't arrive for another year, Toyota will showcase the C-HR concept at the New York Auto Show. It's a slightly odd decision but the company confirmed plans to introduce the production model later this year.
Toyota is keeping specifications under wraps but the Euro-spec model rides on the company's new TNGA platform and can be equipped with three different engines. The entry-level variant has a turbocharged 1.2-liter engine that produces 115 horsepower and can be connected to either a six-speed manual or a continuously variable transmission. The model can also be equipped with a naturally-aspirated 2.0-liter engine and a hybridized 1.8-liter engine that develops 122 hp.
It remains unclear which engines will be offered in the United States but full details will be released later this year.

The Assembly Elections in the five states of — Goa, Punjab, Uttarakhand, Manipur and Uttar Pradesh — are nearing their conclusion with the final results just a couple of days away. As the results on the counting day of 11 March will sieve out the winners from the vanquished, it would also simultaneously give an idea on voter preferences that would in all likelihood dominate the trend in the run up to the 2019 General Elections to Lok Sabha.
As exciting as the exit polls that are going to be unveiled on Thursday are, there's much that can be determined from the voting choices people made in the past elections. We at Firstpost did some number crunching of our own, analysing the poll data from 2002, 2007 and 2012 Assembly elections in Goa, Punjab, Uttarakhand, Manipur and Uttar Pradesh. We studied and analysed victory margins and seats won by different parties in the five states to get an idea of how they voted and realised that Assembly constituencies which are geographically proximate tend to copy each other’s behaviour in so far as voting is concerned.
We studied and analysed winning margins from the preceding three Assembly elections in the five states and categorised them into four buckets with 1 being the high margin of victory and 4 being the lowest margin of victory.
Based on the outcome of the previous three elections, we also calculated average victory margin. The lower the average victory margin, the tighter is the election in that particular constituency. We identified the constituencies where it happened, and grouped constituencies with similar average victory margins in the same colour. Geographically proximate (need not be geographically connected) constituencies form a cluster.
A probability was assigned in the next election based on the average victory margin. These probabilities are party-specific and not individual specific. Using the above method we came to a conclusion that the probability of winning the next election is higher for a party in higher victory margins and vice versa. The above data gives an interesting insight into how voters tend to vote. We realised that voters tend to vote decisively or almost equally. And, if they are geographically proximate (need not be geographically connected), they also tend to copy each other's behaviour. What this means is constituencies are likely to behave similarly within a cluster. We also realised that the chances of them changing their behaviour are high if victory margin is high.

How green is our planet? The answer to that question actually changes with the seasons and depends on where you’re looking. From space, scientists monitor Earth’s plant life using instruments aboard satellites that measure the health and lushness of vegetation on land. The measurements allow researchers to create maps that show where in the world plants have gone dormant and where they’re in bloom, or whether there’s any vegetation at all. The maps can also indicate how a landscape has evolved over time due to changes in climate and human activity. Since 1999, the MODIS instrument aboard NASA's Terra satellite has measured vegetation changes on Earth from orbit. Watch the video to see more than a decade's worth of observations collected by the spacecraft.

Telecom Alert: Regulatory Deadlines in Hawaii Extended; RDOF Petition for Supplementary Funding; ECF Invoice-Filing Deadline Extended; CPF Grants [Vol. XX, Issue 34]
Regulatory Deadlines in Hawaii Extended
The FCC issued a Public Notice last week extending certain filing and regulatory deadlines occurring from August 10, 2023, through September 10, 2023, for licensees and applicants in the State of Hawaii. In accordance with President Biden’s issuance of a disaster declaration, the FCC has waived deadlines scheduled for filings regarding certain minor license modifications, renewals, and notifications of construction until September 12, 2023. The Commission has also waived its rules to allow requests for Special Temporary Authority (“STA”) to be made by telephone, which will be considered “emergency filings” and processed as expeditiously as possible. For more information, please contact Wes Wright (firstname.lastname@example.org; 202.434.4239) or Tim Doughty (email@example.com; 202.434.4271).
RDOF Petition for Supplementary Funding
Last week, a Coalition of RDOF Winners filed an emergency petition with the FCC asking the Commission to provide relief to winners of the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund (“RDOF”) Phase I auction due to construction cost increases. In its petition, the Coalition stated that impacts from COVID, new federal fiscal policies, and pandemic-prompted broadband deployment funding programs have caused construction costs to skyrocket as much as 100 to 300 percent. The Coalition claims that such cost increases could not have been accounted for at the time RDOF Phase I models were designed. Accordingly, the Coalition requests that the Commission provide relief in the form of supplementary funding, relief from all or certain aspects of the letter of credit requirements, and/or that RDOF payments for years seven to ten be made accessible in years two or three to six. For more information, please contact Casey Lide (firstname.lastname@example.org; 202.434.4186).
ECF Invoice-Filing Deadline Extended
Last week, the FCC issued an Order granting a limited waiver of the invoice-filing deadline for the Emergency Connectivity Fund (‘the “Fund”). Under the Commission’s rules, invoices must be submitted within sixty days from the date of the funding commitment decision letter or service delivery date. In recognizing that many participants have a service delivery deadline of June 30, 2023, the Commission has extended the filing deadline to October 30, 2023. For more information, please contact Casey Lide (email@example.com; 202.434.4186).
$162.5 Million in CPF Grants
The Department of the Treasury announced the award of $162.5 million in funding for Ohio through the Capital Projects Fund (the “Fund”) to increase access to affordable, reliable high-speed internet across the state. Ohio’s approved plans include $77.5 million for broadband infrastructure, which is designed to fund last-mile projects to provide service with speeds of 100/100 Mbps to rural areas. It will also use $85 million for multi-purpose community facilities that will provide increased access to resources and programming for community members.

Brave and empowering!
I loved this novel! From start to finish I was captivated by the story and emotions. While I have had different life experiences not only could I relate to several of the scenarios but the beautiful artwork and and writing really made it easy to understand the author's story. I was actually sad when I got to the end. This was a beautiful story of bravery, and overcoming the obstacles of life!
A Powerful memoir
I found it to be very moving and impossible to put down. I am eager to see part 2.
I was enthralled!
“Letting the Butterflies Go” by Michelle Martin-Jabarra is a treasure. A work of contrasts. Tears and smiles. Whimsical and solemn. Terror and safety. Pain tearing into joy that brushes back into pain. The illustrations dance between stark and lush. Within the confines of each box, each page, there is a sense of limitless possibility. Butterflies.
I arrived home from work mentally exhausted with the intention of reading the novel over the weekend. But last night I picked it up and couldn’t put it down. “Letting The Butterflies Go” is a provocative creation; sharing the vividly personal story of one woman as it touches universal themes, with moments where I was nodding “me too”. This beautiful graphic novel, where with each turn of the page the artwork drew an “ohhh” from my lips, is the journey of one artist as she offers herself to us. Exposed. It is an adventure in discovery and healing and art. A bewitching book. Thank you Michelle.

City spot on with first signing of the summer
Having declared his intention to make an 'impact' signing first up, new Coventry City manager Aidy Boothroyd has done just that with the deal to bring Gary McSheffrey back to the Ricoh Arena.
'I know about Gary's affiliation with Coventry City and while that's a very positive thing, we are bringing him in because of his qualities as a player and a character, not just because he is a local lad,' said Boothroyd after the last formalities of the signing were completed.
At the age of 27 time is still very much on the player's side and Boothroyd is spot on with his comments but will also be savvy enough to know that signing McSheffrey will earn him instant goodwill from Sky Blues fans.
It's a no-lose deal for either side as the player himself looks to get back on track after a couple of frustrating seasons and write the third chapter of his City career after bursting onto the scene as a 16-year-old and then come back from being made available on virtually a free transfer to become a £4m signing for Birmingham.

Spending time in nature is believed to benefit people’s mental health. However, new research suggests that giving people with existing mental health conditions formal ‘green prescriptions’, may undermine some of the benefits.
An international research team led by the University of Exeter and published in the journal Scientific Reports, investigated whether contact with nature has the potential to help people with mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety, to manage their symptoms. They found that nature is associated with a number of benefits for these individuals, but only if they chose to visit these places themselves.
The research team collected data from more than 18,000 people in 18 different countries, as part of the EU Horizons 2020 funded BlueHealth project. A key aim was to understand why people feel motivated to spend time in nature, how often they visit, and how social pressure influences their emotional experiences during visits.
The findings suggest that whilst pressure to spend time outdoors can encourage visits, it can also undermine the potential emotional and wellbeing benefits of contact with nature.
Common mental health issues are the leading cause of disability worldwide, affecting approximately 17% of the world’s population each year. Although there is evidence that some people with these issues are using nature as part of their own symptom self-management, there was still much we didn’t not know about how widespread this was, or whether more formal ‘Green prescriptions’ from medical professional to spend time in nature could aid management and potentially recovery.
The research team were surprised to find that people with depression were already visiting nature as frequently as people with no mental health issues, while people with anxiety were visiting significantly more often. On the whole, both groups also tended to feel happy and reported low anxiety during these visits.
However, the benefits of nature seem to be undermined when visits were not by choice. The more pressure people felt to visit nature by presumably well-meaning others, the less motivated people were and the more anxious they felt.
The research was led by Dr Michelle Tester-Jones, of the University of Exeter. She said: “These findings are consistent with wider research that suggests that urban natural environments provide spaces for people to relax and recover from stress. However, they also demonstrate that healthcare practitioners and loved ones should be sensitive when recommending time in nature for people who have depression and anxiety. It could be helpful to encourage them to spend more time in places that people already enjoy visiting; so they feel comfortable and can make the most of the experience.”
The authors believe their paper provides evidence that careful techniques to discuss accessing nature as a means of self- or supported-management for people with mental health issues need to be integrated into these programmes if they are to offer clients the best support.
Dr Mathew White, of the University of Exeter and University of Vienna, who co-ordinated the international research team, added: “We had no idea just how much people with depression and anxiety were already using natural settings to help alleviate symptoms and manage their conditions. Our results provide even greater clarity about the value of these places to communities around the world, but also remind us that nature is no silver bullet and needs to be carefully integrated with existing treatment options.”
Dr Ann Ojala, a research team member from the Natural Resources Institute Finland (Luke) said: “The results encourage further research in clinical settings. We need more information on this delicate balance between the intrinsic motivation and sometimes necessary encouragement from outside, as well as how nature visits could be integrated to mental health treatment.”
Co-author Dr Greg Bratman, of the University of Washington, said: “The results highlighted the importance of taking intrinsic motivation into account when it comes to the benefits of nature visits — and the relevance of integrating this consideration into effective green prescriptions.”
Matilda van den Bosch, Assistant Professor at The University of British Columbia, said: “For green prescriptions, like with any intervention, it is important to avoid pressure to achieve compliance with the treatment. Nature cannot be forced on anyone, but must be provided at the individual’s own pace and will.”

WITH recent talk of the Archbishop of Canterbury resigning, Chester’s outskirts may not be the kind of place you might associate with archbishops, but nevertheless, there is a wonderful monument linked to the most senior position within the Anglican Communion.
Head north east from Chester for a couple miles, to Mickle Trafford, then pick up the lane to St Peter’s Parish church at Plemstall. A short distance from the church on the north side of the lane are some railings, and it’s what’s behind these railings which grabs our attention.
In the 9th Century, a scholar named Plegmund came to King Alfred the Great’s attention, becoming appointed to the position of the Archbishop of Canterbury some three years later in 890. He performed well in office, and improved standards beyond that of his two predecessors. Plemstall is linked to Plegmund, and a holy well here links to the tradition venerating his coming from the area.
The black railings define a rectangular area with steps down to the water source at the rear centre of the enclosure. Overhead ironwork, cites the date 890 on one side, and on the other one of his possible years of death, 923. One sign descirbes Plegmund as an Eremite Monk living on the Isle of Chester who went on to become Advisor to Alfred the Great. Another sign records the arch was inspired by the millennium year, and was unveiled on 16th June 2002.
Look into the trees surrounding the well, and you may see ribbons and cloth tied in the branches. These are intended as offerings, venerating the well - either as gratitude to the physical gift of water, or to the spirit of the place, or God - depending on your theology of choice.
Once upon the time, the ribbons left would have been expensive sacrificial items. Nowadays they are almost throw away items and can seem a bit like litter. I’ve not seen it here, but at some wells people have tied up carrier bags and other plastic items, so it’s not surprising responsible persons may tidy up these “Clouties” as they are called.
St Peter’s Church just down the lane is well worth a peep at; I’ve never been able to view the interior, but a tomb on the east end of the church is a thing of intrigue. Placed centrally on a raised base, the north and south faces of the grave depict a skeleton. On the south side, it shows an arrow embedded into the skeleton’s shoulder, with a palm leaf in the other hand. On the north side, it shows the arrow removed but in hand, with a salt timer raised. The salt timer is usually as a ‘memento mori’ - a reminder of death. Perhaps here it denotes that time ran out for the person who was wounded.
Take a peep down this end of Plemstall for an engaging couple curiosities. It will be worth your time.

Title: Leaving Time
Author: Jodi Picoult
Category: Beach Read
Overview: A tale of grief and the strong bond of love between children and their mothers that spans time and generations. Piccoult’s latest novel revolves around a young teenage girl’s desperate search for her mother, an elephant expert, after they were dramatically separated during her childhood. Interspersed with the mother’s journal entries and scientific understandings of elephants’ reactions to grief and loss, Leaving Time creates a world filled with these large, loving creatures and a colorful cast of characters who come together to solve a decade-old mystery.
Thoughts: There really is a reason why Picoult implored reviewers to not reveal the ending of her latest novel. All I’ll tell you is this…it will absolutely shock you. Before reading this book, I had no idea that there was any secrecy around the plot and was, instead, lured into it by my own love of elephants and the fact that it was a hot new bestseller. I wasn’t disappointed. This is not your average Picoult book and, for those who have read her before, you know what I mean. Although the format is similar to her previous books, shifting between characters and weaving through time changes to create a whole picture, Leaving Time is a bit more…whimsical. While some of the chapters can feel a little stiff – and heavy on the zoological details of elephants – I found myself intrigued by how emotional elephants truly can be and, of course, devastated by the horrors of modern day poaching. I think I flew through the book in about a day. Yes, it is in fact that compelling and perfect for your summer vacation or getaway to the beach…just don’t forget the tissues!

See Alison Brie Show Off A Transparent Mesh Dress
Alison Brie is on the press circuit for her latest movie, but we can't stop staring at her in this stylish mesh dress.
Fresh off the back of the release of her new film, Spin Me Round, Alison Brie is busy on a press tour promoting her new film. As a part of that press tour, Bire was interviewed by Schön! Magazine, where, along with discussing her new film, working with frequent collaborator Jeff Baena and a Community reunion, Brie also took part in an amazing fashion shoot for the magazine. The star has shared some of her favorite snaps from the fashion shoot with Schön, led by an incredibly chic mesh dress, which can be seen below.
“Sometimes you just gotta lay down and chill,” writes Alison Brie in the caption to the post above, accompanying her witty remark with a hashtag celebrating her film Spin Me Round and tagging her interviewers, Schön! Magazine, a London-based fashion and culture publication with a strong former on the former, hence Brie’s stunning mesh dress look. The dress is courtesy of Indian-American Fashion Designer Naeem Khan, with make-up by Molly Greenwald and hair styling by Clariss Rubenstein.
In the Instagram post, Alison Brie shared two more looks shot in what appears to be an old stately home. The first is a simple, elegant black dress from the world-renowned fashion brand Dolce & Gabanna. The second look is a silk pink dress from Monique Lhullier, a Filipino-French fashion designer who founded her eponymous brand in 1996, that specializes in Bridal wear, along with lifestyle fashion items and accessories. Alison Brie’s look is accentuated not only by the Monique Lhullier dress but by all three of the fashion brands she dons in the Instagram post, producing a set of wonderful photos.
As well as taking part in an awesome fashion shoot, Alison Brie is also asked about the latest happenings in her career by Schön! Magazine, including the aforementioned Spin Me Round film. Spin Me Round was co-written by Brie with writer-director Jeff Baena, whom Brie has collaborated with three times previously. Brie also plays the lead role in the film, Amber, who wins an all-expenses trip to Italy backed by the restaurant chain that employs her, where she meets its eccentric owner and gets embroiled in a plot of romance and mystery. The film opened in cinemas and on AMC+ on August 19th.
However, perhaps the biggest talking point of Alison Brie’s interview with Schön! Magazine was the potential of a Community reunion. The fan-favorite comedy series arguably helped Brie’s rise to superstardom as she portrayed Annie Edison in all six seasons of the Emmy Award-winning show that followed a group of adults at community college. Brie starred alongside the likes of Donald Glover, Joel McHale, and Danny Pudi and there have been recent talks of the cast reuniting for a feature film continuation of the beloved show. Whether or not a Community film is really on the cards remains to be seen, but two things remain certain, Alison Brie is an unquestionable talent both in front of the camera and when lending her hand to a screenplay as well as being the perfect muse for a wonderfully creative and elegant fashion shoot.

Chantel Everett is a Botox injector as she lives out her dreams as a nurse. The Family Chantel star has often been subjected to plastic surgery rumors herself. Now, she shares her true thoughts on Botox.
She launched to fame on 90 Day Fiance before getting her own show. TLC viewers have seen Chantel Everett study for nursing, and she’s only gone and got her dream injector role at a beauty bar. However, fans are slamming Chantel for her ‘lip fillers’ which they noticed on The Family Chantel.
Chantel Everett now injects Botox
Chantel Everett is now a nurse injector qualified to work with Botox. She is now an injector for SSA Beauty Bar at their Sandy Springs, Georgia, office, and has faced many plastic surgery rumors before.
She has addressed those rumors about her appearance, though. Chantel revealed she got Botox on her forehead and between her eyebrows on The Family Chantel, and says she has not had any surgery on her body.
Before getting the cosmetic procedures, Chantel didn’t look that different. Her skin has always looked firm and shiny, yet says that she is “living her dreams” as she “sculpts beauty and confidence with Botox”.
She became a nurse in 2020
Some fans are confused about Chantel becoming a nurse injector, as she previously worked in a hospital. At first, she worked as a pediatric nurse and wished to get into the neurology department.
However, Chantel recently confessed she’s “realized” her “dream job” is in the beauty industry. She also appeared in a reel with the caption: “When your jobs can’t be replaced by AI,” suggesting stability.
Chantel is a qualified medspa nurse. Several followers ask if she’s a real nurse as a result of her new role, but she is qualified as an RN, after her stint as a home health pediatric nurse.
Chantel faces plastic surgery rumors
Despite her previous confessions, Chantel is still facing surgery rumors. One fan claimed on her Instagram: “You’re doing too much to ur face.” A fellow fan agreed and penned: “Stop getting so much work done on your face. Starting to look weird.”
Another said: “When she was talking about Pedro she sounded strange when talking because of all the fillers in her lips, her face is swollen because of the Botox, she’s doing too much.”
However, many of The Family Chantel fans have her back. “Girl you do you! Ignore the negativity! You’re a successful and beautiful woman????????❤????” penned a follower.

One thought on “POCKET JAZZ PRESENTS: CHARLIE YARDBIRD PARKER “21 TOOT SALUTE!””
Reblogged this on Hipster Sanctuary.


The Biden administration's relationship with China is not "great," and it shouldn't be, Rep. Adam Kinzinger said Monday.
"I think we have to be clear-eyed about what China is and how good they are at manipulating information," the Illinois Republican said on Fox News' "America's Newsroom." "I think with the president coming in and talking about the need for competition, that's good. I think we have to be clear-eyed about what China is and how good they are at manipulating information."
He added that he does like what President Joe Biden said about bringing European allies in to fight the battle against China, rather than for the United States to just fight alone.
However, Kinzinger said he found it "surprising" that Biden would have referred to China's abuse of its Uighur minority as a cultural "norm."
"I'm not sure he could have meant that," said Kinzinger. "I think that's for them to clarify in further detail. There are cultural differences. That's what it is in every country. Genocide of a group is nothing that can be excused by cultural differences."
Chinese President Xi Jinping, he continued, says things like the Chinese people are "culturally, morally, ethnically, and racially superior to every country."
Meanwhile, Kinzinger said he is having a "hard time" seeing how the Democrats' $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief plan will pass in Congress, despite their majority.
"There is a slim majority for the Democrats," he said. "It's possible they can get something like this through [but it's] basically a tie in the Senate. They can't lose one person."
Kinzinger said he's concerned about the legislation failing, as "we have to do something for COVID," but the bill does nothing to encourage schools to open quickly or much when it comes to businesses.
"There is a lot for state and local government, but we'll be giving to a state like Illinois that has mismanaged its finances for years," said Kinzinger.
