Patti + Ricky partners with Austin-based businesses to provide adaptive products for people with disabilities and health and life-phase needs.
By Abby Hopkins, Photo courtesy of Patti + Ricky
When Alexandra Herold’s fashion-forward mother got sick with brain cancer, Herold struggled to find functional and attractive clothing for her. After searching tirelessly for a fashionable cane, Herold finally discovered a pink one with roses that would do. But the experience made her recognize there was a widespread need for adaptive products that were stylish and less institutional-looking.
“I saw the power of fashion with this cane that was beautiful,” Herold says. “People would stop her and compliment her cane, and it created conversation. Prior to having the cane, because she had lost her hair, people were talking to her like she was a baby. The cane really allowed for people to treat her the way she deserved to be treated.”
Herold drew inspiration from her mother, Patti Connell, from her cousin, Ricky Warga-Arias, who was born unable to walk or talk, and from her own experiences with ADHD, anxiety and dyslexia to create a marketplace for adaptive products. She says because of her familiarity with disabilities, she has always seen them differently and felt the apparel industry didn’t have sufficient options.
“A lot of clothing does not work for people with disabilities,” Herold says. “Clothing, in general, doesn’t work for most people. I always have to remind myself that there didn’t used to be maternity clothing and there didn’t used to be plus-sized clothing, so we’re really hoping that adaptive clothing becomes this new category.”
Herold’s company, Patti + Ricky, is an online marketplace that curates adaptive products designed by existing businesses for people with disabilities and health and life-phase needs. Popular items include stylish denim jeans for people who utilize wheelchairs, lingerie for women with breast cancer, fashionably designed arm slings and fidget jewelry for people with anxiety.
“It’s important to us that our clothes are not stigmatizing,” Herold says. “They’re just beautiful clothing anyone would be proud to wear.”
Patti + Ricky partners with more than 75 designers, many of whom have disabilities themselves, are loved ones of individuals with a disability or are medical professionals. Two designers, Inclusive Greetings and Abilitee Adaptive Wear, are based in Austin. Inclusive Greetings creates stationery that allows individuals to literally feel the art on the card, while Abilitee Adaptive Wear sells adaptive apparel for people with disabilities and medical needs.
Julie Sanchez, co-founder of Abilitee Adaptive Wear, is a pediatric surgeon and ideated a bodysuit for patients to provide easy access to feeding tubes. The design came about after she spoke with a patient’s mother about the everyday difficulties she faced with her child’s feeding tube.
“It was the first time I got to see how, as a medical community, we’ve failed to empower our patients once they’ve left the hospital, especially once they’ve left the hospital with a device,” Sanchez says.
Sanchez and Co-founder Marta Elena Cortez-Neavel began researching and realized fashionable adaptive products were a huge need in the medical and apparel industries. Abilitee Adaptive Wear was born with the hopes of empowerment, inclusion and preventing unnecessary emergency hospital visits for patients.
As the company has developed, the staff has continued to create more products, including ostomy covers and waistbands for abdominal support. Cortez-Neavel hopes the products can benefit different types of patients and preserve confidence and dignity.
“If we can address something through clothing and creating these beautiful products, we’re hoping we can make a larger difference in their lives than just the functional value of being able to access your medical devices,” Cortez-Neavel says. “We’re showing them we’re there for them and they deserve clothing that works for them.”
Despite the progress, Herold says there’s still more work to be done in terms of creating products. Her goal is to no longer need a suggestion section on her website because each person would have access to what he or she needs.
“I get to help people every day with disabilities feel great and find things that make their lives easier,” Herold says. “Prior to that, I was searching for something that would allow me to help and be an ally for people with disabilities. Now I get to do that every single day.”

Vitus Pro Cycling Team travelled to Guisborough in North East England for the East Cleveland Klondike Grand Prix on Sunday (April 29, 2018), the second round of the HSBC Spring Cup Series.
Local people offered a warm welcome, even decorating their homes and villages to welcome the race. People turned out in their thousands to witness the racing, despite the rain showers and freezing temperatures.
Vitus Pro Cycling Team’s riders younger riders had a tough start to the race, learning just how demanding senior racing can be, especially on such an unforgiving course.
Cherie Pridham, the team’s owner and manager, said the demanding parcours had offered a steep learning curve for her young riders.
“The more inexperienced riders need to learn from these types of events, which is the opportunity we are giving them,” she said.
Nineteen-year-old Grant Martin, now in his second season under Pridham’s management, was among the developing talents who grasped the nettle, riding with Josh Hunt, his more experienced team-mate, in the main bunch. The teenager ended the day as the team’s highest-placed finisher, crossing the line in 22nd place.
“It was a learning curve for our young riders and another opportunity to get a tough race in the legs ahead of what is going to be a big week for us at the Tour de Yorkshire, which the riders and the team are all looking forward to,” Pridham said.
Adam Kenway, whose heroic ride at the Rutland-Melton CiCLE Classic seven days earlier defined the race, suffered bad luck and disappointment in East Cleveland.
“It was a difficult race. We did expect it to be a tougher one than last year, when it ended in a group sprint. This year though, the big group was split to pieces on the hills on the closing lap, and we also suffered some punctures, one to Adam Kenway in particular.”
With the Tour de Yorkshire looming, Pridham will call upon all her experience to rally her young squad and steel her more experienced troops of the battle ahead.

GM has all but given up on the Camaro, while the muscle car segment is undoubtedly on the ropes as well. But despite the flawed front-end design of the current Chevy pony car, we still think it’s amazing. Scrolling through social media, there’s no shortage of builds and fans who drop big money on carbon fiber parts.
Some of those aren’t real, just like this mid-engined Chevy Camaro put together by artist Rostislav Prokop. We mention this just in case you were wondering why your Camaro doesn’t have the particular proportions that brought you to this story.
Now, this 3D model has been around since early 2020, when the rendering boom was in full force. And at that time, every artist wanted to make mid-engined fantasy cars, since the “$60,000” Corvette was the talk of the town. Sportscars and muscle cars were often targeted, and Rostislav managed to connect the C8 with its less fortunate sibling somehow.
The outcome is a car that looks like everything and nothing. Taillights and headlights resemble those of previous Camaro muscle cars. Meanwhile, the bodywork is like a C8 Corvette’s but modified with a widebody look. New air intakes have also been grafted on. And when you look at it from afar, the whole thing resembles the BMW i8.
Why the engine in the middle?
You only need to read any statement from the C8 Corvette engineers to understand why things are the way they are. Moving the small-block V8 back there improves weight balance, which in turn creates better traction, making the car faster with the same amount of power.
Also handling is improved, so you get an all-around better car. Of course, there’s no denying the wow factor of the first American sportscar with a Lamborghini-like shape. Which is like finding out the girl next door is secretly also a spy, and a master baker, and a millionaire. Oh, and she secretly likes you.

DJI's Mavic 3 packs dual Four Thirds and telephoto cameras | Engadget
The Mavic 3's main 24mm (35mm-equivalent) f/2.8 - f/11 Hasselblad-branded camera has a Four Thirds sensor that's considerably larger than the 1-inch sensor on the current Air 2S model. It's also clear that DJI has put a lot of thought into the new charging system and batteries that should make operation more practical. It also introduced a carrying bag that converts into a backpack that can fit the drone, a laptop and other accessories. Four Thirds is the same size as the Micro Four Thirds sensor on Panasonic's BGH1 box camera, for example, so it should allow for more cinematic video and photos. And yet, the camera module doesn't look much bigger and the Mavic 3 weighs slightly less than the Mavic 2 (895g compared to 907g). All of that allows "more fluid and diverse drone and camera movement," DJI said. However, I'm impressed so far by the design and small details like the storage cover that protects the camera, gimbals and propeller (below).
DJI is best known for drones, but it's possibly the most inventive camera company right now. After unveiling the outrageous full-frame Ronin 4K camera/gimbal last month, it has now launched the $2,20… [+5471 chars]

Dana Visalli’s Tryin’ta Farm embraces ‘regenerative ag’
Dana Visalli’s Tryin’ta Farm is a flourishing work in progress, one that he wants to leave in better shape when he dies than it was when he was born.
With the energy of the sun and his own two hands, Visalli produces fruits, vegetables and grains along the shores of the Methow River. His small commercial garden is an example of high-yield sustainability with low energy consumption.
A play on words, Tryin’ta Farm is a living example of Visalli “trying to farm” using regenerative agriculture methods.
“Regenerative agriculture” is a farming practice used to restore soil biodiversity. The practice reverses climate change by capturing carbon dioxide in the soil and improving the water cycle through reduced erosion and the elimination of harmful chemicals.
“This garden is an effort to create a productive small farm that builds soil over time, uses a minimum of fossil fuels, is sustainable over the long term, and is in better shape ecologically when we die than when we were born,” Visalli said.
A seed is planted
Visalli was first introduced to farming by Mennonite farmers. “The Amish would not take me,” he laughed. In the early 1970s, people yearned to grow their own food and take care of the land through the Back to the Land movement. Visalli came to Methow Valley and soon realized he was always fixing the tractor instead of spending his time farming.
Visalli found modern-day farming to be unsustainable with the popular use of non-renewable energy, chemicals, and practices that damaged the soil, water and surrounding land. He ditched the tractor and looked for sustainable ways to nurture the soil without damaging the ecosystem and biosphere and without using fossil fuels.
“I always grew things — this was meaningful to me,” he said, “I wanted farm on a small scale, using less energy.”
Visalli started by clearing stone cobbles from the soil by hand. “Ninety-five percent of the work here is done by hand,” he said, “very little fossil fuels are used.”
Two large compost bins are steadily filled with the addition of organic material. The humus is watered, turned and covered to encourage active composting. “It’s like taking care of a baby.” Visalli said.
The compost pile is tended to with the same care and attention given to growing plants. The composted humus is routinely fed to the garden beds, building healthy soil and feeding nutrients to crops. “We do not use any chemical fertilizers nor any insecticides, even organic ones,” Visalli said. Occasionally, soapy water is used on plants to control aphids.
Irrigation water is sent to the garden by the energy of the sun. An off-grid solar system uses 12-volt solar panels and a 12-volt pump.
A 20-by-50 foot greenhouse, heated only by the rays of the sun, extends the growing season from early spring into the winter months. On Feb. 27 of this year, Visalli skied to the greenhouse towing a sled filled with chicken manure to feed the soil. He and his co-worker, Chase Vanderyacht, planted seeds in the greenhouse on the first day of March when there was still a foot of snow on the ground.
Vanderyacht watered the seeds and seedlings with buckets of snow that melted immediately in the warm greenhouse. The water line to the greenhouse remained frozen until early April. Until then, buckets of soft melting snow kept the seedlings moist.
The greenhouse receives a third round of plantings in mid-July. This late planting will grow to full size by the end of September. The plants stop growing in October as the soil cools and the sun treks low across the winter sky. The crops that can handle freezing temperatures are fresh through December, yielding fresh lettuce, arugula, spinach, chard, kale, carrots, beets and more in early winter. This technique is called winter gardening.
“Most vegetables are nutrient-rich but not energy-rich,” Visalli said. To ensure his garden produces a wholesome variety of fruit, greens, root vegetables and protein, Visalli also plants hard red spring wheat. He harvests the wheat by hand with a scythe. From this energy-rich grain from the garden, Visalli makes lasagna noodles, cookies and bread to accompany all the fresh fruits and vegetables.
A living process
Visalli’s Tryin’ta Farm is a living process to showcase the biological cycle of using the sun’s energy to fuel the body. Solar panels provide power to keep water flowing to plants. Plants are fed organic compost that holds the energy of the sun deep within hydrocarbon bonds.
When the plant matter decomposes and is added to the soil, those energy and nutrients are fed back into the living plants. Plant roots absorb nutrients and energy from the soil, the stems and leaves reach up to the sky. Through photosynthesis, plants eat sunshine, converting the sun’s energy to sugar.
These plants, using the energy of the sun, grow into a food source to sustain other living creatures. Plants breathe in carbon dioxide, storing the excess within their root system and trapping the carbon dioxide in the soil. In exchange, plants breathe out oxygen, a key component of human health and survival.
“It is a living process, a community,” Visalli said. Once a person realizes the constant biological cycle of soil, water and sun, “it becomes exciting to be a participant,” he said.
Visalli’s Tryin’ta Farm has the first produce available in the spring at Glover Street Market, and the latest fresh produce in the valley in early winter. People can order directly from Visalli, or schedule a time to pick their own produce at www.methownaturalist.com, Visalli’s online journal and website. Email email@example.com for more information.

Meet the Betars: America's longest-married couple prepares to celebrate 81 years together
John and Ann Betar eloped on November 25, 1932, fleeing their close-knit Syrian neighbourhood in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and driving as fast as they could to Harrison, New York, to avoid Ann's father's plans to marry her off to a man 20 years older.
Now, as their 81st wedding anniversary approaches on November 25, the couple can only laugh as they look back on the commotion they caused.
On Valentine's Day the Betars were named by Worldwide Marriage Encounter (WME) as 2013's "longest married couple" in the US.
A group of representatives from WME, a California Christian group, then flew to Fairfield to present the Betars with a plaque and other gifts.
It determined they were the longest-married living couple in the United States, based on a review of nominations sent in from around the country.
Marriage isn't a lovey-dovey thing for 80 years
John Betar, now 102, chuckles recalling how mad the family was about their elopement and how his wife's aunt consoled his father-in-law by telling him not to worry because the marriage would not last.
Mr Betar says their secret is simple: "Just contentment... with what you have, what you're doing."
"If you think a little bit about what you're doing and if it's wrong and he tries to straighten it out, we straighten it out. And if not, you just try to go along with it," added Ann Betar, now 98 years old.
The key for the happy couple has been understanding and communicating with their each other in spite of any differences.
"Don't think that life is great all the way around," explained Mrs Betar.
"It's only about cooking. It's only about cooking, that's the only arguments we had," joked her husband, as he sat on a couch holding his wife's hand in the waterfront house they have shared since 1964.
"See? That's what he thinks! It's only about the cooking," Mrs Betar said.
Couple has 14 grandchildren, 16 great-grandchildren
The day the couple tied the knot, the Great Depression was in full swing, King Kong had yet to shake up the silver screen, and future US president John F Kennedy was just a high school student.
A year later on their first anniversary, the pair were happy to just be eating meal.
"We were lucky to eat," they both said.
"I was a fruit peddler and we had a lot of vegetables. We lived on vegetables," added Mr Betar.
John moved from vegetable peddler, to successful grocer before becoming a realtor.
Life has not always been easy; the couple lost one daughter and their only son to cancer within the past 15 years.
"Marriage isn't a lovey-dovey thing for 80 years," said Mrs Betar said.
"You learn to accept one another's ways of life, agreements, disagreements - disagreements on our children, preparation on bringing up your kids. That was the main interest was your children."
The Betars now have 14 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren.
The Betars' advice for married couples nowadays: "They expect miracles of each other like, 'You have to agree with me, this is what I want to do,' but it doesn't work that way.
"Your children are all different. Find out what interests them the most and work on that," Mrs Betar said.

If there's a cuisine that is made for long leisurely meals shared with a group, it has to be Italian. More often than not, meals are spread out over three to four courses: you'll start with an aperitivo while you enjoy an antipasto spread, next comes the primo course (usually a hot dish like pasta), then you'll have the secondo (a meat dish) with a contorno or side dish. Finish off with some formaggio or something dolce (sweet) and you'll have one molto bene feast. Buon appetito!
Melbourne's best Italian restaurants
It’s been some years since gents were expected to keep their jackets on at all times, but it’s good to see Grossi Florentino is a restaurant that continues to sweat the small stuff. The grand Mural Room is one of Melbourne’s last bastions of lavish European dining charm where the lighting is set to dim, and the mood set upon arrival by the proffering of a handbag stool.
Gosh, the Italians do glamour well, and Bar Carolina, the new addition to Joe Mammone’s boutique Italian stable exudes Latin charm from its terrazzo foyer to its bar clad in charcoal steel. And we haven’t even mentioned the quorum of liltingly accented waiters who marshal the crowds one ‘ciao bella’ at a time.
Melbourne’s a town that does pasta either really well or terribly badly. Tipo 00 is a stand-out member of the first category and just as well for them. Pappardelle, thick ribbons boasting the suppleness of Nadia Comaneci and the right resistance to the teeth, is jumbled up with rabbit braised in white wine, with the toasty crunch of hazelnuts and green specks of marjoram. This is happiness in a bowl.
One of the best Italian restaurants in Melbourne has recently been reimagined into… one of the best Italian restaurants in Melbourne. Pasta Adagio (literally, slow pasta) was until recently known as Osteria La Passione, and it's still a simple place serving some of the most bang-on authentic Italian food you’re likely to find anywhere.
This laneway bar has long marble bar, seating for 40, and a good part of the Grossi cellar stored behind glass like a votive offering to the god Bacchus. And even if you’re planning to be tucked up in bed by 10pm, the midnight spaghetti will play ball with your timetable. This is no booze-sopping gut-buster – it’s a dainty twirl of rigorously al dente spaghetti capturing a flavour burst of sugo, salty giant capers and sweet basil leaves.
It’s all in the pacing. It’s the make or break factor of great dining, and it's something Rinaldo 'Ronnie' Di Stasio’s mainstay Italian has been nailing for 26 years. A three-course lunch can take four hours – maybe three, if you’re just here for a glass of Champagne and a plate of calamari. This is a restaurant that’s well and truly earned its reputation as one of Melbourne’s greats.
What we have here is not so humble as an osteria. Sure, it has an underlying rustic Italian brief, exemplified by the chargrilled whole octopus brutishly splayed over a sauce made of the fiery Calabrian spreadable salami, `nduja. On the other end of the spectrum, lamb tartare arrives gussied up for the red carpet with a custardy froth of smoked eggplant, purple Congo potato crisps and winks of rosemary oil.
Come nightfall, the restaurant next door to the day trade does modern Italian bistro. It’s the service here that really takes the chill out of a Melbourne evening. We count five separate greetings in our short journey from door to table – it feels like we’ve just arrived at a friend’s place for dinner.
Here they're doing the kind of devotedly rustic, no-frills Italian food that you can feel doing you good, body and soul. Let’s call it Italian penicillin. Its strength is its simplicity. The brutishly ugly, utterly delicious cauliflower fritters are a nod and a wink that this is Rosa as she is known and loved. Just as good under the list on antipasti are the grilled chicken livers, interleaved with fat cubes of fried bread.
The name Pietro Barbagallo should be familiar to anyone who appreciates a Neapolitan-style pizza. His new venture, is a slightly more adult offering, taking the focus away from pizzas and putting forward some lesser-known traditional Sicilian plates. Mr Pietro’s charm comes from its quiet confidence and understated décor.
Cicciolina is an indispensable bastion of south-side dining: an ace of Acland Street. St Kilda has changed since Cicciolina opened in 1993. The section of Acland Street that Cicciolina sits on, a one-time boho hotspot, is now reduced to a cut-copy mall. Stars of the menu may sound uncomplicated and a little retro, but that's part of its assured charm. Cicciolina is an institution, not a revolution.
This quasi-secret laneway haunt boasts implicitly of Melbourne’s fabulousness. Con Christopoulos has plenty to do with Melbourne’s fabulousness. The City Wine Shop, European, Kirk’s Wine Bar, Neapoli, Siglo… the list goes on. From Gill’s looser European menu they’ve drilled down into the particular delights of regional Italy here.
Welcome to Bar Nonno: Northcote’s first biodynamic wine bar with a strong, traditional Italian focus and even stronger traditional Italian charm. The entrance feels like a retail shop until you get past the racks and hit the dining room filled with dark, deep reds and polished floorboards.
The grand old dame of Melbourne's restaurant scene offers comfort food at comfort prices (unless you're gluten intolerant, then you shall seek little comfort here). There's something special about sitting at a 70-year-old bench on a 70-year-old stool and looking at a 70-year-old menu while you shovel into a sliding colossus of lasagne ($16). We recommend it highly. A white shirt, not so much.
This schmick Italian ristorante is breathtakingly theatrical in a way that we’d forgotten was allowed – all floor-to-ceiling windows rippling down one side, chandeliers sprouting out of the domed ceiling, and an embarrassment of marble. It’s a more sophisticated scene, no question – the soundtrack is opera, waiters wear white linen jackets and there’s a whole mess of hairsprayed 'dos, and chinos dining on the lamplit terazza.
Along with some of the best and freshest gelati this city has ever seen, this house of iced treats also serves boards laden with Italian cheeses, a couple of hot dishes – whatever chef Alesandro Spicchia has cooked for staff lunch – and Melbourne’s first coffee blend fired in a wood-fuelled roaster.
It feels like this is the place that Lygon St, needed. It's inspired by Italy, the country who’s immigrants gave Melbourne hospitality its heart, but unlike the old-school Italian cafes that define this strip of Carlton, Heartattack looks forward to a bright future of casual eating and drinking, not back to a nostalgic past.
This lively Sicilian joint, where the music pumps and the snacks come out thick and fast, has fast become a Lygon Street favourite. You’ll want to book nice and early – there’s not a day Bar Idda isn’t packed. For a crash course on Sicilian food, turn your menu over – Bar Idda, along with sketching out a map of the region, have provided an illustrated timeline.
You know Guy Grossi’s joints. He’s got Italian fine diner Grossi Florentino – home of the $50 pasta entrée – and Cellar Bar downstairs, the old school trattoria where flirting knows no age limits. But you can forget about both of those when looking to Ombra, a salumi bar with polished concrete floors, and bareback tables designed for building makeshift meals of pickles and meats.
Eggplant melanzane? Foil butter sachets? Unapologetically old school with mod-Melbourne lines, Lupino is hammering out pan-Italian classics like they’re going out of style. It’s all polished concrete, terracotta tiles and holy hell - is that macramé? Sure is, and whilst the hard lines, echo factor, and city locale mean that by day it's all business, by night its a soft lit haven for casual rendezvous.
Just off Lygon Street, DOC is a pizza bar that means business. At the casual diner portion of Tony Nicolini's Italian empire (which also includes DOC Delicatessen and DOC Espresso), thin crispy bases make the perfect partner for the simple core Italian ingredients - buffalo mozzarella, fior di latte, and Italian smallgoods. Wash it down with a campari or Italian beer, and finish up with a dessert pizza.

If you were interested in the free laptop with broadband offer that Orange and PC World recently made headlines with, we hope you've signed up already, as the deal has somewhat surreptitiously ended.
Big news back in late July, PC World customers who signed up to a 2-year broadband connection with Orange at PC World were promised a new laptop worth over £300.
The free laptops were to have a minimum specification of 15.4-inch widescreen display, would be wireless enabled, have a Celeron processor, 256MB memory, 40GB hard drive and a DVD rewriter.
Rivals AOL quickly responded the promotion by offering a very similar deal in conjunction with the Carphone Warehouse but with a slightly better specced laptop.
It seems that the Orange deal was too good to be true - long-term at least - as the offer is no longer available.
A quick checks show the AOL and Carphone Warehouse promotion is still live for people to pre-register for - although this is clearly advertised as a "limited offer".
With no explanation on the PC World site given for the seemingly early end to the promotion it's possible that there were only a certain number of "free" laptops available and the stocks are exhausted due to popular demand.
Cynics might suggest though, that the whole thing was a short-term publicity stunt to get some headlines for a broadband service that has come bottom in UK customer satisfaction charts now for the second year in a row...

The other Wahlberg: Donnie films TV show as Oscar-nominated brother Mark tops the box office
As teenagers in the 90s Donnie was the famous Wahlberg brother, finding fame with his band New Kids On The Block.
He helped his younger brother Mark follow him into the music industry, and while Marky Mark was soon a hit, he never found the success of his brother's band.
How things have changed. While Donnie has a respectable career as a TV actor, with rare small roles on the big screen, his little brother Mark is Oscar-nominated, with his own star on the Walk Of Fame.
Mark is currently enjoying having a U.S. number one movie with his film The Other Guys a hit at the box office.
New cop on the block: Donnie Wahlberg was busy filming his new police show Blue Bloods in New York yesterday
Meanwhile Donnie was hard at work filming scenes for his new detective TV show Blue Bloods in New York City yesterday.
The 40-year-old sported an array of different outfits for his role as detective Danny Reagan, as he filmed action scenes among riot police.
And while his work may lack the glamour of his brother's, he looked happy and relaxed as he donned a white vest for some scenes and a sombre suit for others.

The show, which airs on U.S. network CBS next month, follows the lives of a New York police family and also stars Tom Selleck as a police commissioner along with Bridget Moynahan as an assistant district attorney.
'Obviously, I know of all of their work, but the humility they all have for such success is amazing,’ Donnie said of the cast at a recent Beverly Hills press junket to promote the show.
Mark, who is younger than Donnie by one-year, first came to prominence as a singer with his group Marky Mark And The Funky Bunch in the early 1990s.

The Boston-born actor then made the successful transition to film acting with roles in Planet of The Apes and Boogie Nights.
He was also nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his role as a Boston cop in The Departed.
Donnie, however, has been less successful at acting, with smaller roles in Band of Brothers, and the Saw horror films.
He also starred with Al Pacino and Robert De Niro in drama Righteous Kill in 2008.
Later that year, he reunited with The New Kids, releasing an album The Block and embarking on a concert tour.

A MAN who murdered 11 elderly residents of a Sydney nursing home two years ago will spend the rest of his life behind bars.
Sentencing Roger Dean to life imprisonment, Justice Megan Latham told the NSW Supreme Court today the pain and terror experienced by the victims must have been horrific. The “heinous, atrocious and greatly reprehensible” crime was planned and premeditated. She said the victims, who were immobile and asleep at the time the fires were lit, were “vulnerable”, of “high dependence” and were in the “care and control of the offender”.
Dean deliberately started two fires in the Quakers Hill Nursing Home on November 18, 2011, to “create a distraction” from his theft of 238 prescription painkillers from the home. Three of the victims died immediately. Eight who suffered burns or lung damage from smoke inhalation died in hospital in the weeks following the incident.
The former registered nurse, 37, originally pleaded not guilty to 11 counts of murder and eight of recklessly causing grievous bodily harm, but changed his plea the day his trial was to start. The death toll makes Dean the worst mass murderer in the state’s history, ahead of Belanglo Forest killer Ivan Milat.
Dean appeared on national television immediately after the fire, describing his efforts to help those trapped in the blaze. “I just quickly did what I can [to] get everyone out … the smoke is just overwhelming. We got a lot of people out, so that’s the main thing,” he told media crews.
The relatives of the victims cried and cheered in the packed public gallery, which included a strong police presence, as the sentence was handed down. One woman collapsed and had to be carried out of the courtroom.
One relative shouted, “You’ll get yours” as Dean was led away. Another yelled, “Rot in hell!” Dean showed no emotion during sentencing.
Outside the court, Amanda Tucker, whose grandmother, Dorothy Sterling, 80, died in the fire, said a life sentence would never take the pain away from her family. “My nanna never made it out of that nursing home … [Dean] walked straight past her and didn’t help.”
Elly Valkay, who lost her mother, Neeltje, 90, said the outcome was wonderful. “I hope he suffers as much in jail as my mother suffered the last four days of her life, which was horrendous,” she told reporters. “Our loss is still there, will always be there, but to know that justice has been done … it’s wonderful to see and it’s wonderful to feel”.
Lorraine Osland, whose mother Lola Bennett died in the blaze, said life would never be the same. “It wouldn’t matter what they gave him … it will never, ever be any different for us. He got a life sentence and so did we,” she said.
Neale Becke, the son of 96-year-old Doris Becke, said the sentence had brought him closure. “If you have a mother go home and give her a cuddle. You only have one,” he said.
Last month the state government announced that all aged-care homes in NSW will install fire sprinkler systems by March 2016. An inquiry heard last year that the deaths at Quakers Hill could have been averted had the nursing home been fitted with sprinklers.

During 2016, strange sounds have been reported from all around the world, leaving many wondering if planet earth is trying to tell us something. Could the PlanetX / Nibiru believers be telling the truth?

When President Reagan wants economic advice or budget statistics for campaigning, he can turn to a legion of government forecasters and budget experts.
Against that army, the Mondale campaign fields Susan Irving, a young, witty, Harvard PhD in public policy who is Democratic presidential hopeful Walter F. Mondale's sole in-house budget, tax, and economics specialist.
Campaign staff members are wary of the limelight, and Ms. Irving is no exception. Mr. Mondale knows a wide variety of economists from his years as vice-president and before that as a member of the Senate Finance Committee.
He often calls these experts directly, Irving notes. ''He doesn't have to go through me'' for economic advice, she adds.
Still, her ideas and activities shed some light on how Mondale makes economic policy and how that policy is being received.
Although Mondale draws on a large number of economists for tutorials on economic subjects, a relative handful actually participate in policy formulation. These policymakers tend to hold relatively homogenous and traditional economic views.
So far, the combination of tax increases and spending cuts that these advisers helped Mondale devise has drawn uneven reviews. The plan has been only cautiously embraced by other Democratic candidates; it received scathing reviews from most Republicans and many business groups; and some of its underlying assumptions drew restrained criticism from nonpartisan economic consulting firms.
Mondale's deficit-reduction program ''is traditional. There is nothing unique about it. It is one of a long line of attempts to get the deficit down,'' says Robert Gough, senior vice-president of Data Resources Inc., an economic forecasting firm.
Irving admits that she and other Mondale advisers on economics ''are a very mainstream crowd. The last sharp creative-departure crowd (the supply-siders) told you they could cut taxes and get more revenues and balance the budget. You don't have to defy common sense to be creative.''
Another member of this mainstream crowd is Sheldon S. Cohen, a former commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service and an outside Mondale economic adviser.
During Mondale's service on the Senate Finance Committee, Mr. Cohen set up informal tutorial luncheons with top budget and economic experts. This tutorial approach has continued. Before Mondale was nominated, he met at his North Oaks, Minn., home ''with a large group (of economists), where he heard a variety of ideas,'' Cohen says.
But when it came time time to draft the deficit reduction plan, Mondale worked with a smaller group ''he was more for comfortable with,'' Cohen says.
The main participants in the final drafting of Mondale's deficit-cutting plan were:
* William Galston, issues director for the Mondale campaign and a University of Texas government professor. He wrote speeches in 1980 for then-presidential candidate John Anderson.
* Richard Leone, senior adviser to the campaign.
* W. Bowman Cutter, now a partner in the accounting firm of Coopers & Lybrand and formerly associate director of the Office of Management and Budget under President Carter.
* Cohen, who is now a partner in the Washington law firm of Cohen & Uretz.
* Irving, who previously was chief of staff for Charles Schultze when he was chairman of the President's Council of Economic Advisers in the Carter administration. Later she served as vice-president of the nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.
Mondale also sought advice directly from Rep. Dan Rostenkowski (D) of Illinois, chairman of the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee, Irving notes.
''It would be a major mistake to imply that a group of staff people drew up a plan, and Walter Mondale checked 'yes,' '' Irving cautions. ''He believes that the budget is a statement of beliefs and priorities.''
While Mondale has been on the road trying to sell his deficit-cutting plan, Irving has been in Washington providing technical explanations to reporters and economists. Her job also involves watching for what she feels are economic misstatements by Reagan.
As a self-described ''middle-of-the-pack, but committed runner'' in her off-hours, Irving has a lot of experience in running uphill. And that was what the Mondale campaign seemd to be doing last week, as it tried to sell its deficit-cutting plan. ''We are not trying to suggest that the deficit is the be-all and end-all,'' Irving says. ''But asking my younger sister to pay for my living standard (by saddling her with high federal interest bills) is, at a gut-level, offensive.''
Mondale's deficit-cutting plan includes $85 billion in tax hikes and $24 billion in net spending cuts by fiscal 1989. It assumes that deficits will push up interest rates and harm the economy, and that the nation cannot grow its way out of the problem.
Irving disputes those who say boosting taxes to trim the deficit runs the risk of bringing on a recession. In effect, that is saying growth will continue ''only if you continue a $200 billion deficit. I don't believe that,'' she says. But she admits that since the economy seems to be slowing ''it would have been better to deal with the deficit last year or this year. But (the Mondale campaign) didn't have that option.''
Irving also disagrees with those who say Mondale's plan is unrealistic in assuming interest savings of $51 billion due to the effects of falling deficits. Economists she consulted say the 1.5 percentage-point drop in interest rates that the plan assumes ''is low. They would have expected a bigger'' drop in rates, she says.

T.I.'s Post-Prison Album Is Called 'King Uncaged'
T.I. has announced working title of his upcoming seventh studio album. In a short message on his official website, the rapper announced that "King Uncaged" will be his first effort as a free man.
The album is planned to be released across the United States on August 24, several months after T.I. is released from a halfway house. A buzz song which possibly makes the cut to the upcoming release is titled "I'm Back" and has been embraced by music fans since March.
"This marks a special day for us, because we putting out the first song off the album--not an official first single, just something to keep the streets warm," he said on the day of the song arrival. "It's a lot of things that needed to be spoken on. In my absence, it was a lot of things that went down, a lot of matters that needed to be addressed. This was the greatest platform for me to do it."
Beside preparing to release a new album, T.I. is also working on a mixtape with DJ Drama. He is also rumored to team up with Rick Ross in one of his "Teflon Don" songs.

Even though I have a thousand motives to get happy, I’ve been felt a little down…
It’s too hard to focus my mind when just one matter puts me down but I realize when I’m very bad and something very nice happens I get happier than normal.
I’ve listened to Two Worlds by Phil Collins and the first sentence made me feel so much better! “Put your faith in what you most believe in.”
Because my affliction was about something that I’m afraid of… and this singular and amazing song says to trust in the heart and let fate decide what will happen after.
In my heart I really believe everything is going to be GREAT! I know what may depend on me I’m going to do.

The mortgage on Joseph Moinian’s 1775 Broadway is now 60 days delinquent, and with around $249 million outstanding on the loan, the newly distressed property catapulted into second place on Trepp’s list of the city’s largest delinquent loans for May.
The 26-story office property, the former General Motors building that Moinian bought for $130 million in 1999, still trails first-place Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village by a landslide. The 110-building complex has a loan balance of $3 billion and has topped Trepp’s list since making its debut on Trepp’s March list (see the properties that were in distress in March here).
Harlem residential complex Riverton Apartments, which special servicer CWCapital Asset Management bought at auction in March for $125 million, came in third with a $225 million loan balance.
Of the 47 New York City defaulted commercial properties that were 60 days or more delinquent in April, there were, in total, four new entries from a month prior (click here to see the April delinquencies). In addition to 1775 Broadway, those included 260 East 161st Street, the Holiday Inn Express in Long Island City and a Staten Island Walgreens property.
Meanwhile, five properties exited the list this month. In Manhattan, they were 208-212 West 30th Street, the Core Club at 60 East 55th Street and the Renaissance at 100 John Street. Brooklyn’s Borough Park Portfolio II, which has various locations, and St. Matthews Apartments at 6833 Shore Road also came off the list.

This is slightly more difficult to review, mostly because I was sad during the entire reading of the novel as it was the very last of the Culture series. This has been my favorite series in all of science fiction (even with the up and down of some of the more experimental volumes) and with the untimely passing of Mr. Banks, there will not be another. Ever.more
Recently I decided to try something a little unusual. While reading Look to Windward for the second time, I took notes on every beat of the story. It was such a useful and engaging practice, that I decided to repeat the exercise with my other favorite Banks book, The Player of Games.more
To say this was a complicated book would be to undersell the very notion of complex. Not that it wasn’t comprehensible, far from it, but without the appendix provided at the back, managing the mental gymnastics of all the characters, species, ships, planets, etc. would have been excessively burdensome. It’s still a little shocking to read a piece of fiction which requires an appendix, but there it is.more
Every book I’ve read by Banks has been different from the last. Inversions, is no exception. In many ways, Inversions is the answer to the question, “What would it be like if Banks wrote a political intrigue fantasy novel?” A most unusual addition to the Culture series, this book takes place entirely on one planet, there are no space ships, there are no drones, and it is limited in feature entirely to a medieval planet.more
I consider Banks to be one of the finest writers I've ever read, full stop. While I enjoyed this book, it had a number of confusing exchanges and the plot itself was more complicated than the majority of fiction I've read. An open mind comfortable holding many separate threads of activity in apparent orthogonality will be required to enjoy this book fully.
I’ve been trying to wrap my head around short stories lately. Mostly, if not entirely, based in his Culture world, Banks tells several smaller tales and one larger one that range from really weird to quite good. Ultimately I was awed again by his writing skill and fascinated by his concept of the future as embodied in the Culture themselves. Since it builds on an existing world, it’s difficult to compare to other collections. It also struck me as very experimental in form, like Banks just had to do something different with each story.
Well, this one was a bit befuddling. The choice of structure, where the storyline proceeds forward on odd chapters and backwards on even -- while clever -- ultimately made the book more difficult to appreciate.
Finally back to science fiction, this brainy work is an interesting introduction to the Culture series. Originally piqued by the SpaceX naming of their recovery barges after characters in this series, I'm interested to see how it develops. While I enjoy the vivid imagery of this first book, I wasn't particularly in step with the characters or their motivations. Still, it was an interesting read and I've been told the series only gets better.

Last month, Tesla has sold 70% less electric cars in China than in October 2017, said the China Association of cars, quoted by Reuters. The agency stressed that the collapse was due to a trade war between the US and China.
All Tesla products for the Chinese market are imported from the United States and the mutual responsibilities of 40%, which is presented Beijing to raise prices in any case expensive Californian electric vehicles. This occurs against the backdrop of the unprecedented growth of the green car sales in China since mid-year onwards.
In an attempt to reassure investors last week Elon Musk announced that Tesla will reduce the cost of Model S and X models for the Chinese market, to make them more "accessible" and laid the impact of duties. The company has already acquired land for future factory in Shanghai – the first outside the United States.
