JyoHx is a brand-new artist on our radar, and he may also be an artist that you haven't discovered yet either!
Hailing from Indonesia with just shy of 1000 followers on Soundcloud, JyoHx is an artist that previously has sent in demo submissions to us in the past. Unlike any of his previous demos, 'Space Escort' stood out from the crowd, and was a track we definitely wanted to get signed up onto FFA! Here is a Q&A with JyoHx, going through his inspirations in music, what drives his creativity and what styles of music he loves the most...
1. How did you first become interested in electronic music, and what inspired you to start creating your own music?
"At first I really liked listening to music from several pop artists where there were several songs of that band, who inspired me and made me interested in trying to dig deeper into music. This also made me interested in learning some musical instruments such as the drums, guitar, and piano.
I was first interested in electronic music when I accidentally came across it from some of my friends a few years ago in high school and started listening to electronic music more often than other music. I feel very enthusiastic about this genre, starting from the groove and the musical energy is very catchy to my ears and really catches my attention. Since then my curiosity about EDM started peaking and I started to explore more electronic music on some of the available streaming platforms. The versatility and creativity in this genre fascinates me and makes me feel different emotions in every song I listen to. The combination of various elements and the manipulation of sound in such a complex way inspired me to pursue it further and make it my preferred genre of music."
2. Could you share a little about your creative process when it comes to producing electronic music? Do you have any unique techniques or rituals that help you get into the right mindset?
"Every day, I simply sit for hours in front of my computer and try to experiment with everything, but sometimes I do it without a clear purpose and just keep going until I achieve an end result that I think is good enough to be used in my track, and then export it to my library.
I often practice using various methods I learned from the internet and from previous experimenting experiences, without creating a complete track, solely focusing on following my creative process until I find a sound that can inspire me and create a good mood for making music.
When I have no ideas at all, I just open Soundcloud and listen to some tracks from artists I like to boost my production mood. Sometimes I simply recreate parts of the tracks I enjoy and relearn elements that I feel I haven't mastered yet, then add a little twist to make it sound fresh and brand-new."
3. What excites you the most about releasing your music on Full Flex Audio? Is there a particular aspect or opportunity that you're looking forward to?
"I have listened to many unique songs from several incredibly talented underground artists at FFA, and coincidentally, some of those artists have been an inspiration for me to further experiment.
I've always wanted to be part of the FFA family and release songs there, but sometimes I often feel that my music production skills are lacking in some aspects and I have a lot to learn and maybe not even worthy to participate in the label. Nevertheless, I have managed to overcome my insecurities by dedicating a significant amount of time to practicing and refining my music production techniques. Additionally, the support and encouragement from my fellow musicians have played a crucial role in boosting my confidence. Moving forward, I hope to have the opportunity to connect with many talented individuals and inspire aspiring musicians in the music industry."
4. We all have our musical guilty pleasures. Is there a specific track or artist in a different genre that you secretly enjoy, and how, if at all, does it influence your electronic music creations?
"As a musician, I believe it's important not to limit ourselves to a single genre. Exploring diverse sources of inspiration in music creation can result in a fresher and more unique sound. Personally, I frequently engage in trial and error until I discover intriguing ideas worth experimenting with.
Moreover, I listen to songs beyond the EDM genre, such as Twenty One Pilots, One Ok Rock, and many more of them which inspire me by their innovative approaches to music production. Their utilization of various elements, unconventional time signatures, unique chord progressions, and surprising modulations never cease to amaze me.
I’m planning to explore different styles and incorporate elements from various genres into my future projects."
5. Let's have some fun! If you had the chance to collaborate with any musician, dead or alive, who would it be and why? And what kind of music do you envision creating together?
"That's a hard question because there are so many artists out there who are very talented and make me very interested in every aspect of every music they release but I will write it down!
Automhate, DVEIGHT, SONATA, Agony, DKKAY, JoeB, NRVE, and KEMARE cause their music ripped my soul :’)
Don’t ask me what music I want to create together cause you already know the answer!"
JyoHx - Space Escort, out on Friday!
Here's your exclusive full listen into the single, before it drops on all platforms on the 16th of June!

PHILADELPHIA AVI INFORMATION
On or about February 15, 2013 the City of Philadelphia Office of Property Assessment as part of its Actual Value Initiative (AVI) issued new full fair market value real estate tax assessments of over 500,000 + real estate parcels in the City of Philadelphia including your parcel above captioned. Until this year, the City of Philadelphia has been (theoretically) assessing your property at a “Predetermined Ratio” of assessment of Thirty Two Percent (32%). (This has been contested most recently in 2011 and 2012 with the Pennsylvania State Tax Equalization Board (STEB) at one point determining that the ratio should be Eighteen Point One Percent (18.1%) and then Twenty Five Point Two Percent (25.2%) for 2012 and with most practitioners concentrating in real estate tax assessment appeals (which is what we do) sadly concluding that there is almost no uniformity of relationship of assessment to market value in the City of Philadelphia.
On December 1, 2012 the City of Philadelphia stated that while prior to the forthcoming February 15, 2013 Notice, the values of the real estate parcels of the City of Philadelphia were Thirty Eight Plus Billion Dollars ($38,000,000,000+) they would now be raised to Ninety Six Billion Five Hundred Million Dollars ($96,500,000,000). Normally this means that they would have to lower the tax rate proportionally (and presumably the Use and Occupancy tax on non residential property which is based upon the City assessment and has been half again the real tax rate) but unfortunately Pennsylvania law as it applied to First Class Counties such as Philadelphia County is, unlike that which applies to the other counties in Pennsylvania, not particularly clear as to procedures for the City of Philadelphia must follow. The reality is that in all likelihood the present assessment of your property, as with most of the other hundreds of thousands of assessments in the City of Philadelphia, had no relationship to Fair Market Value and if it did it was a happenstance. (Common complaint: “Why isn’t my property as under-assessed as my competitor’s!”) Now however with “theoretically” all taxable parcels in the City of Philadelphia being brought up to One Hundred Percent (100%) of Fair Market Value it is particularly important that you have your new assessment reviewed by a lawyer with experience in tax assessment appeals to be certain that you do not pay more than your fair share.
KAO Law Associates (formerly Kassab, Archbold and O’Brien LLC), have concentrated our practice of law in real estate tax assessment appeals throughout Pennsylvania's counties for the last Twenty Five (25) years. We have been involved in assessment appeals of numerous and varied real properties: industrial warehouse property above and below of One Million (1,000,000) square feet; retail space above and below One Million (1,000,000) square feet; major offices, commercial sites and multiple unit retirement and residential properties of various sizes. Our residential division has also handled many executive residential properties. Our firm can work with your appraiser or can provide you with appraisers. If you already have attorney responsible for these matters you should contact that person. I should remind you that only a lawyer can represent a taxpayer before the Board of Revision of Taxes and it is important that you be certain that anyone offering representation is in fact an attorney.
The Philadelphia * appeal filing date is still the first Monday of October 2015 for the 2016 year, i.e. October 5, 2015. Our firm’s experience in recent and not so recent reassessments- there is often a twenty five (25 +/-) year plus or minus lag between countywide reassessments) including Lehigh County, Cumberland County, Delaware County, Berks County, Chester County and Montgomery County would indicate that it is important to act on this as soon as possible because of the number of properties involved and the scarcity of top appraisers.
* Most annual appeal dated for other counties are from August 1st to September 1st of the year prior to appeal


George Sluizer, who directed River Phoenix’s last movie, “Dark Blood,” as well as the acclaimed Dutch thriller “The Vanishing” and its American remake, died on Saturday in Amsterdam. He was 82.
Organizers of the Netherlands Film Festival and the Berlin International Film Festival announced the death, but did not specify the cause.
In a career that spanned five decades, Mr. Sluizer was probably best known for “Spoorloos” (“The Vanishing”), his 1988 thriller about a man’s quest to find out what happened to his girlfriend after she disappeared during a stop at a gas station. He said Stanley Kubrick had told him it was the most frightening film he had ever seen.
Mr. Sluizer also directed a 1992 American remake of “The Vanishing” starring Jeff Bridges, Sandra Bullock and Kiefer Sutherland, but it was less successful — in part, many have said, because its ending was less dark than the original’s.
His film “Dark Blood” was only two-thirds complete in 1993 when River Phoenix, its star, died of a drug-induced heart attack at 23. It remained untouched for years, but Mr. Sluizer saved it from destruction in 1998. In 2007, after he narrowly survived a tear in his aorta, he began editing an altered version of the film. It was finished in 2012 and shown at several film festivals.

Template Talk with Benjamin Dehant - Everyone can make templates beautiful
Benjamin Dehant—MURAL experience designer—builds innovative, engaging MURAL templates that allow workshop participants to dive into tricky problems and generate creative solutions. From burgers to magical portals, from the high seas to outer space, Benjamin’s murals put design right in the middle of critical conversations.
Benjamin sat down with me to talk about templates and design. He will be around to answer any questions about his design process and template building for September 21, 2021.
Emilia: Can you introduce yourself?
Benji: My name is Benjamin, and I’m a designer from France. I currently work at MURAL,where I use MURAL to collaborate with my colleagues.
Emilia: How do you use MURAL at work?
Benji: I create workshop templates that our company uses and our members use on a daily basis. My challenge is to make the templates:
- easy to use
- easy to navigate
As you know, we are distributed all over the world, as we are a remote first company. MURAL is our main place to collaborate, work together, and give each other feedback.
Emilia: What is your favorite template, and why do you like it?
Benji: My favorite template is quite famous. It's the Lightning Decision Jam Template from AJ&Smart, our friends from Berlin. It’s a template we host in the MURAL Template Library. It is my favorite, because it's the one that I use the most.
This template is a Swiss army knife for workshops. It's a workshop that you run with a team of 6 to 10 or 12 people. It's made for brainstorming, voting, and choosing the next step of a project. Though, I find that it can be used in any meeting actually.
I have facilitated it the most in my career actually. You can adapt it to anything. I’ve used it for big corporate strategy sessions, and I’ve used it to brainstorm online academy projects with friends.
Instead of running a “normal” meeting where everyone wants to speak, and it isn’t too efficient, I use this template. I like this template because it meets the objective of most meetings without too much, blah, blah.
Emilia: What is your best tip for designing great templates?
Benji: I come from a web design background. I really adapt what we do in web UX/UI, and I put it into the remote workshop world. So what does this mean?
It means that you have to think about the user experience of the participant and the person who is going to facilitate the workshop.
You have to make it easy to navigate and facilitate. I look at the instructions and steps, in particular. Like if you were trying to navigate on the website, you need to be able to navigate it without asking questions. Your template is the same. Facilitators and participants should be able to navigate it without asking too many questions.
The second part, I really try to make the workshop more engaging. Because it has been a year and a half of remote working, people are starting to get tired of this.
So, if you can bring to them a little bit of magic from nice visuals, you can turn your workshop/meeting into an experience that is more engaging. In the end, people are going to be more focused and more enriched, and you will get better outcomes.
So my tip is for people to dive into visual design/instructional design and really think about how your template is set up.
I think if you want to learn how to make better templates, you should look into web design, actually UX/UI, and then try to apply what you learn to your remote workshop work.
Emilia: Do you use MURAL outside of work? If so, how do you use it?
Benji: Before joining MURAL, I used it for my freelance work. I used it to run workshops and build websites with my clients. I used MURAL to organize everything in one place, instead of having many different bookmarks and drives.
On a personal note, I use it for almost any time I need to brainstorm something.
If I'm doing some kind of mood board research for any project, I use it. When I want to collaborate with people, I open a new canvas, and we start dropping ideas onto it.
I think some people even use MURAL for planning their wedding, for example, or for working on the design of their house.
I even use it for my social media planning. For example, I have a space on my Social Media planning mural for different types of content that I am building. There’s a LinkedIn part, a YouTube part.
Thank you for joining us today, Benjamin! If you have questions about template design, please ask them below, and Benjamin will reply and chat with you all about building beautiful templates.

Over the summer I shared my 10 BEST Ways To Shrink Your Grocery Bill.
Seriously check out those tips. Some of them may surprise you!
I also can't recommend the meal plans enough for saving money!
"Been eating @happyherbivore meal plan for 1st time and everything is so yummy & I got out of Wallyword for under $100! Husband loves it too" - Sharon H via Twitter
A few weeks ago, two Herbies shared their bargain finds on HH's Facebook wall, which lead me to asking everyone for their penny pinching tips and recent bargain finds.
Here's what they said:
“I took your tip and bought nutritional yeast through bulkfood.com and loved that experience! Also bought some unsalted dry roasted peanuts to make peanut butter and old-fashioned rolled oats. Thanks for that tip!”
“I get Bob's Red Mill at Ocean State Job Lot, spices, black rice, brown rice, Sriracha hot chili sauces, mustards, etc! Trader Joe's, BJ's and even my super Walmart has great organic, non GMO and gluten free items! I rarely shop at my local grocery store, way too expensive!”
“At Whole Foods, I scored 8 cases of Westsoy unsweetened organic soymilk for only 35 cents per quart after using the $1.00 off coupon (copied x 96) and the 10 percent off case discount. It was on sale for $1.50-then take off 10% case discount-and deduct $1 each”
“I order Bob's Red Mill's flaxseed, chia seed, lentils, rolled oats, and split peas online at vine.com. Shipping is free over $35 and is cheaper than what the grocery store here has. They also have hundreds of options for non toxic cleaning supplies! It's awesome.”
“We have a place called Grocery Outlet out here in the PNW and I remember I used to judge it harshly based on the name. Well, now I'm eating my own organic vegan words because they have GREAT stuff there!! Tonight I picked up a bunch of salad fixings, some wonderful bread, a bunch of frozen organic veggies that I like to use cooked in some recipes and some other basics. I LOVE Grocery Outlet! They also have less than desirable stuff but if you look in the right spots, you can really do quite well there and all for great prices!”
“Costco also has organic bananas and apples right now. Organic carrots. Almond milk. Soy milk. They are keeping up with what customers want. I'm always impressed with what they carry. Amazon has some deals too.”
“Organic quinoa, organic brown rice and other good grains by the barrel at Winco”
“Costco has a 12 pack of organic apples for $9.99”
“Our Aldi often has great prices on produce. Most is non-organic, but they do carry organic baby spinach and artisan lettuce. I also like their almond and soy milk, and I even found organic granola there! They have natural peanut butter, 75% fruit spread, and fruit cups in 100% juice. I have also bought the veggie broth and veg chili there, and the fajita tortillas are vegan. So are the non-fat Refried beans. :0)”
“Found out this weekend that Walmart has a line of organic canned products called SAM's Choice. They average about $0.88/can. Great bargain for corn, beans, tomatoes, etc.”
“99 Cent Only stores also carry coconut water and non-gmo silken tofu periodically.”
“Aldi has a 16-ounce bag of frozen edamame for $1.49. I love the Esselstyn's butterbean salad in Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease. Aldi's cans of butter beans are 79 cents each”
“I often shop at Grocery Outlet (not sure if that store is nation-wide, though), and I have found coconut milk, flax milk, and almond milk for less than $2. Just this week I bought a 6-pack of organic soy yogurt for 97 cents! It had three days till it "expired," but that was more than enough time for me to finish them all!”
“The sweet potatoes are in season right now; they don't usually carry them. I bought 40 lb last week and will probably buy more. They keep well in a cool, dark place (not the fridge).”

4.0 S-LINK Usage Instructions
Note that when UCTRL# is set low, the data lines UD[3..0] and LD[3..0] are used by the S-LINK. That is, the data present on these lines at the LSC is ignored and the S-LINK itself generates the data which is transferred out of the LDC. Data lines UD[31..4] are transmitted and are transferred on LD[31..4] as normal. The reserved lines have the meanings detailed in Table 4. The reason for this scheme is to support the error detection function of the S-LINK which is described in Section 4.5.
For users who use the control/data bit to mark blocks of data, a data block is defined as the data words between two control words.
TABLE 4. Data Line Meanings When LCTRL# is Low
|Same as UD[31..4]||Reserved for future use||Reserved for future use||When 1: Transmission error in Control Word.|
When 0: Control Word OK
|When 1: Transmission error in previous data block|
When 0: Previous Data Block OK

As an editor, I spot mistakes regularly – in the morning newspaper, on grocery store signs, on websites, and in brochures. Mistakes are everywhere.
Once I’ve spotted a mistake, I have to decide whether or not to point out the mistake. It is tempting to always point out mistakes, but that can make editors annoying friends.
If the mistake can be easily corrected, then I will point it out. Mistakes on websites are quick and easy to fix. When I saw an issue on a brochure that is going to be used for a year or more, I let the responsible person know so that when he reprinted it, he could correct the mistake.
However, when there was a typo on a flier that would only be relevant for a few weeks, I let it go. The organization was not going to reprint the flier, so it wasn’t worth pointing out the error. But the mistake still bothered me – I can’t un-notice errors.
If there is a process improvement that will prevent future mistakes from occurring, then I do usually point out errors. I might even mention that I am available for contract work!
During a beach vacation, I spotted a glaring error in a message scrawled in the sand. I just couldn’t resist, I had to add the missing letter. My husband still teases me about never turning off my editorial brain.
It can be a struggle to keep up with emergencies and disasters around the world for accurate reporting. However, the website for Emergency and Disaster Information Service is a great resource with an interactive world map that allows you to click on icons that represent events such as cyclones, earthquakes, fires, etc. Each icon gives you the opportunity to obtain more details about the event.

Now that Facebook has made clear that it will not be promoting journalism to its users there are several tactics and strategies that publishers can take to replace what they have lost (and will lose) from Facebook’s pivot away from news.
1. A tactic: start an email newsletter with links to your content. Think of it as a walled garden that protects you from Facebook.
Daily, weekly, or monthly newsletters create a more intimate relationship with users. Some publications have several on different topics, such as technology, business, public safety, or politics that users can select from. Local news sites in particular can benefit from daily newsletters.
The links to your content send users directly to your site, and any ad revenue goes to your business rather than Facebook. Many digital news publishers report higher response rates from email subscribers to offers of subscriptions, premium content, or memberships.
2. Focus on the quality of users instead of the quantity: relationship rather than scale, engagement rather than volume.
The metrics of the “attention web” focus on showing the value of the audience’s relationship with the media brand rather than with an advertiser’s product.
Some of these metrics are:
- duration of user’s visits per month
- frequency of visits per day or per month
- time spent reading or viewing a piece of content
- user’s path in scrolling through a piece of content (to see if more than the headline was viewed)
- comments on content
- shares through social networks
Engaged users are the ones who become loyal users. They develop an emotional connection with a media brand.
3. Identify your loyal users and tailor special offers and services to them.
In Analytics, the loyal users are the ones who return to your site many times a day, week, or month. Media researcher Alfonso Vara-Miguel, a colleague of mine at the University of Navarra, has written(Spanish):
A loyal reader will repeatedly buy their paper, will better tolerate price increases, will be more inclined to buy other products from that brand, and is much more likely to recommend those products to other people.
Users of the Washington Post, for example, who visit the site at least three times a month are the ones most likely to buy a paid subscription to digital content.
4. Focus most of your editorial resources on content that differentiates you from competitors — content that is available nowhere else.
When your content is different, your users feel like they are members of a special club who get privileged information. This makes them loyal (Point 3), which has economic value.
Also, this strategy frees your editorial team from chasing stories that may produce clicks but distract them from the differentiated editorial mission of your publication. If all the media are chasing the latest scandal involving a political figure, your team can investigate the how and why of that story to give it context, meaning, and added value for your audience.
5. In a time of distrust of media and misinformation, credibility is the new currency. It is the most important asset of the publication.
Here is my take about the importance of credibility and trust for media 2018:
Independent media — those based on serving the public rather than turning a profit — will grow in importance through revealing corruption and holding authorities accountable… That credibility will have economic value that will be monetized.
Now is a good time to approach brands with the message that they gain credibility for their products and messages when they are surrounded by credible content — yours.
6. Focus on native advertising or “sponsored content” rather than targeted advertising.
So-called “native advertising” can help publishers move on from Facebook in several ways. In the first place, it gets past ad-blockers because it appears to be editorial content, not an ad. This makes the content load quickly, which is especially important to mobile phone users, now the majority of news consumers.
When it is done right, native advertising — also known as advertorial or sponsored content — will give readers valuable information that complements a publication’s editorial content. It will feel less intrusive than targeted advertising of the kind used by Facebook, and will keep users engaged.
7. Take advantage of what Facebook doesn’t know about your users and their friends.
While Facebook’s uses its vast storehouse of information on individual users and their networks to send them targeted ads, journalists in a particular town, region, or country know much more than any algorithm about local customs, traditions, language, expressions, personalities, power-brokers, history, and much more.
Publishers can take advantage of this specialized knowledge to offer highly differentiated content (Point 4) and attract a different kind of sponsor or advertiser (Point 8, to follow).
8. Talk about ethical values and public service with potential sponsors and contributors.
Facebook is a business designed to get people’s attention and make money. Ultimately it serves the investors first, the advertisers second, and the public comes in last.
People want to be part of an organization whose mission is to search for answers and attempt to inform rather than serve vested interests.
9. Monetize the social capital you create.
Social capital is a value that media entrepreneurs generate through their ethnic, social, professional, and business networks, which is enhanced through public service.
Social capital is not as concrete as financial capital, but it can be monetized, as many digital media organizations have done around the world. Crowd-funding, partnerships, collaborations, grants, sponsorships, and donations are some of the ways to convert social capital into support.

During a dinner table conversation, I read an interesting piece of copy to my husband. It was from an editorial project I’d worked on earlier in the day and I thought he would resonate with the topic. As I was reading the selection out loud, I noticed a typo. What should have been the word “it” was “if” in this first draft. Not a problem, because the article was still in the early stages of the edit and design phase and I could easily make corrections. But the experience reminded me of the value of reading out loud to catch errors.
Brains are amazing in speed and ability. Fluent readers quickly move through text and their brains process content so quickly that many small errors are smoothed over in the process. This is especially true if the reader is already familiar with the content. It is as if the brain has an autocorrect feature – one that is much better than autocorrect on texts!
So how do we counteract this auto-correcting brain process and catch errors before they get to print?

If journalists must wage war against fake news and misinformation, Bill Adair is the general leading the charge.
Adair, who created PolitiFact in 2007 and is now the Knight Professor of the Practice of Journalism and Public Policy at Duke University, is leading the Tech & Check Cooperative, a project working to develop new automated fact-checking efforts.
“The same things that make fact-checking possible at a large scale also make it possible to spread falsehoods at an even larger scale,” Adair said.
The Cooperative recently received US$1.2 million in grants from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, the Facebook Journalism Project and the Craig Newmark Foundation.
The origins of fact-checking technology
When Adair started PolitiFact, the concentrated fact-checking effort at the Tampa Bay Times (then called the St. Petersburg Times) 10 years ago, he never anticipated the proliferation of fake news the way we know it today.
Misinformation spreads because it appeals to people’s “political sweet tooth,” Adair said. But the speed at which it spreads is largely due to advances in technology.
“What we’ve seen is that the same things that make fact-checking possible at a large scale also make it possible to spread falsehoods at an even larger scale,” Adair explained. “[Fake news] lends itself to bots in ways I don’t think any of us anticipated.”
PolitiFact, at first, wasn’t very popular. Adair recalls how when the site first launched, he would spend his weekends at home refreshing the PolitiFact homepage because the site’s traffic was so low. However, those early fact-checking efforts helped lay the groundwork to make new projects, including those by the Cooperative, possible.
PolitiFact structures its content in a way that allows and encourages user interaction, making it easier for search engines and apps to access the content. That framework is useful for the news apps and projects being built in 2017.
Adair said the overall goal of Tech & Check is to get fact-checking to more people.
There are three parts to the Cooperative: a suite of fact-checking apps; a series of tools that will automate the most repetitive aspects of fact-checking; and convening and collaboration with organizations around the world to learn from each other’s work.

Countering fake news and propaganda has been journalist Margo Gontar’s mission since she co-founded the Ukrainian fact-checking website StopFake in 2014. A project at the Kiev School of Journalism, a group of professors, students and volunteers established the site in response to the stream of fake news that exploded with the occupation of Crimea.
“The aim of fake news is not that people believe [it],” said journalist Margo Gontar. “Their aim is to confuse the audience. At some point, they just don’t trust the media at all.” Gontar theorizes that, when inundated by fake news, many people just distance themselves from political discourse altogether.
To fight this type of disinformation in Ukraine, independent and quality reporting is vital, a sometimes challenging prospect in a country ranked 102nd out of 180 in freedom of the press, according to Reporters Without Borders. Three-quarters of the Ukrainian media market belong to only four oligarchs.
Iryna Slavinska, a news anchor and editor for “Hromadske Radio,” works at one of the few media organizations that doesn’t belong to an oligarch. Financed through donations and grants, the independent station was founded in 2013, a few months before the Euromaidan protests, and quickly became the voice of the protesters.
“We have become much more professional since then,” said Slavinska. Nine hours of programming reach 100,000 listeners every day, with half of this audience listening to Hromadske’s informative content on state radio, where the station is given a two-hour live slot every evening.
“We diffuse our programming from Kiev, Mariupol and Dnipr. We have temporary licenses for the regions of Donezk and Luhansk,” Slavinska said. “Our air waves reach even the occupied territories [areas occupied by separatists] of these regions.” Independent reporting is especially difficult from there as Ukrainian journalists have limited to no access to these areas. For those broadcasts, Hromadske Radio relies on anonymous contacts in the regions or foreign journalists, who have easier access.
Even for independent media organizations, defining news in the context of war remains difficult. Should Ukrainian journalists prioritize freedom of speech over the security of their compatriots fighting in the war? This question was heavily debated at the media conference “Inside Our Blind Spots,” held October in Kiev and organized by the German NGO, the Network for Reporting in Eastern Europe (N-ost).

How Much Pulled Pork Per Person?
Sometimes you want pulled pork just for a family meal, and sometimes you’re smoking pulled pork for a party. When it’s just you and your family, you’re not concerned about having enough pork for everyone, but if it’s a BBQ party, you better do your math right so everyone has a chance to eat. The basic answer…
Sometimes you want pulled pork just for a family meal, and sometimes you’re smoking pulled pork for a party. When it’s just you and your family, you’re not concerned about having enough pork for everyone, but if it’s a BBQ party, you better do your math right so everyone has a chance to eat. The basic answer is simple: portions should be roughly ⅓ of a pound per adult and ¼ of a pound per child. We are also basing this on the fact that you are making pulled pork sandwiches. If you are not serving anything with the pulled pork, bump that up to 1/2 a pound per adult.
To help you easily determine how much pulled pork you need, we included a calculator that does everything for you. Check it out below.
How Much Pulled Pork Per Person?
If you want to give yourself the best rough estimate how many pounds of pulled pork per person you’ll need to serve, stick with the rule of thumb that you’ll want a third of a pound for each adult and a quarter of a pound for each child in attendance.
The key to this estimate is that these numbers are of cooked pork. Don’t go to the store and tell yourself that you need a third of a pound or a quarter of a pound of raw pork. You’ll end up in trouble real quick. Every cut of meat, not just pork, loses weight as it cooks, so if you purchase a certain amount of meat expecting for a 1-to-1 ratio, you’re going to fall very short of your target.
So when you’re at the store, what kind of pork should you be purchasing and how much weight will you be losing?
How Much Weight Will A Pork Butt Or Shoulder Lose?
When we talk about losing weight, we mean the difference between the starting weight of the meat and how much pulled pork you have to serve after the entire cooking process. We know that we will lose moisture throughout the cooking process which is the largest amount of weight difference. There’s also anything we trim off during prep work. Any fat or meat that gets trimmed counts as weight loss. Then if you’re smoking a cut with a bone, you’re not going to serve the bone. So that will go towards the total.
- For a pork butt, you can expect to lose somewhere in the neighborhood of 40 to 50 percent of the starting weight. The bone-in pork butt will be towards the higher end of that scale.
- A picnic shoulder, especially if you aren’t serving the skin, is right around the 50% mark.
So when you’re shopping, target 50% weight loss to be safe. So how much raw pork do you need to make sure you’ve got enough pulled pork for a party?
Pulled Pork Math (How Many Pounds Of Pork Butt Per Person)
Sometimes math can feel like pulling teeth, but in this instance, we want to pull pork. So let’s keep it simple then. While we want to serve a third of a pound of pulled pork to adults and a quarter of a pound to children, it’s always better to have some leftovers. You can send some home with friends and family or simply save some for more meals. So rather than trying to nail the exact amount of pork based on those numbers, let’s simply go with a third of a pound of pulled pork for every attendee.
So say you’re serving a group of 10 people. You’ll need roughly three and a third pounds of pulled pork to ensure everyone gets a third of a pound serving. (If you want to get technical, that’s approximately 5.33 ounces of pulled pork.) Based on losing approximately half of the initial starting weight of your pork butt, you’ll need somewhere around a seven-pound pork butt. When doing your calculations, always round up. It’s always better to cook a little too much than not enough.
So in essence, this is your math. Tally up the size of the party, then multiply that number by ⅓ to get the total amount of cooked pulled pork you’re serving. Then double that number to know how much raw pork you need to purchase. We can even make a nice, simple formula for that with P equaling people. (P x ⅓) x 2 = total amount of raw pork needed.
How Much Pulled Pork Per Person Calculator
Let our calculator do all the work for you. Simply put in how many people you want to feed, and the calculator will tell you the size of uncooked pork butt or shoulder to purchase. The calculator is basing this on a 1/3 lbs (5.33 ounce) serving.
Keep in mind to buy a little more than you need so no one goes hungry.
What’s The Best Cut For Smoking Pulled Pork?
Walk up to the pork section of the coolers at the grocery store and you’ll see a variety of cuts of pork that you can buy. When you’re looking to smoke pulled pork, there are two primary cuts you can purchase: the pork butt and the picnic shoulder. Both of these cuts come from the shoulder of the hog and need to be cooked low and slow to create a moist, tender meal.
As stated above, the pork butt comes from the shoulder of the hog, not the rear. You might also see this labeled as a Boston butt. It gets the “butt” moniker from the fact that it was packed in barrels called butts originally, and the name stuck.
Pork butts have plenty of intramuscular fat, or are well marbled, that will render down during the low and slow cooking process. They can come bone-in or boneless. The bone can act as a bit of a heat sink, slowing the cooking process compared to a boneless pork butt which can help keep your pork tender. Plus, who doesn’t love sliding the bone clean out when the pork butt is smoked properly?
The picnic shoulder, also sometimes known simply as a pork shoulder, is lower on the shoulder than the pork butt. This area worked harder while the hog was still alive, resulting in a leaner cut of meat. This cut comes bone-in and usually with some of the skin still on.
The lean muscle means low and slow cooking methods are a necessity to make a pork shoulder turn out tender. However, that skin can end up simply rubbery and terrible if you strictly cook a pork shoulder low and slow. You can finish the shoulder over direct, high heat to make it crispy.
For a full breakdown on these two cuts from the shoulder primal, check out our write-up of pork shoulder vs pork butt. Suffice to say, you absolutely can make pulled pork from either cut, but a pork butt is my personal preference.
You can also smoke a pork loin for pulled pork, but it’s harder to do that for a larger crowd. It’s also a lot leaner than a pork butt, so you do need to be careful not to dry it out.
How To Make Your Pulled Pork Stretch Further
Now, that ⅓ pound of pulled pork is a basic safe estimate for how much to serve each person. However, not all pulled pork meals are the same. Are you simply giving each person a serving of pulled pork with a side or two? Are you making pulled pork sandwiches? Are you going to have other meats/entrees available like burgers or hot dogs?
You might look at how much pulled pork per person for sandwiches and supplement with heartier buns or filling sides to stretch it further. Heck, you can even make a homemade coleslaw to top that sandwich. You can make pulled pork as an option and not the only main dish or even have pulled pork as an ingredient in a dish. We understand that you might not have the largest smoker to cook up a lot of pork butts to feed a block party, so don’t be afraid to take steps to stretch your pulled pork further.
Side Dish Ideas
If you’re looking for side dishes beyond the standard baked beans and potato salad, check out some of our favorite side dish recipes: BBQ cheesy smashed potatoes, and smoked mac and cheese. If you’re looking for something a bit on the healthier side, fire up your grill for some marinated veggies.
However, if you can, always plan on cooking up more pulled pork than the equation calls for. Some people (myself included) may be looking quite forward to some home-smoked pulled pork and intentionally come with hearty appetites. Plus who doesn’t love leftovers?
Wrapping It Up
When we are preparing to serve pulled pork for a crowd, we always figure on ⅓ pound of pulled pork per person. Children tend to eat a little less, so you can expect to serve ¼ pound of pulled pork for them. Then always estimate that you’ll lose around 50% of the starting weight, so you’ll want to start with ⅔ of a pound of pork butt per person.
We always recommend estimating more to be on the safe side, that way if anyone shows up starving, you can accommodate them. Pulled pork also makes for excellent leftovers, whether you’re sending guests home with a goodie bag or you’re hoarding all the extras in your refrigerator. Check out our article on how long pulled pork lasts in the fridge so you can make sure you don’t waste the extra meat. Remember, storing any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer is the way to go!
If you’re looking for some ideas on what to do with all those leftovers rather than having sandwiches for days on end, we’ve got some ideas for you. If you’re looking for a hearty, warm meal in the colder months, check out our recipe for pulled pork shepherd’s pie. For more ideas, check out our roundup of our favorite leftover pulled pork recipes.
Question: Will barbecue sauce help the pulled pork go further?
Answer: While bbq sauce, especially a thicker sauce, will add some weight to the pulled pork, it’s not enough of a difference to drastically alter the portion per person.

QUANTIFYING THE ENVIRONMENTAL VALUE IN WESTERN COAST OF SEMARANG CITY, CENTRAL JAVA, INDONESIA
Coastal zone in Semarang City is facing climate change impact namely coastal inundation and sea level rise. These area are home to large and growing numbers of residents, visitors, large nursery area for coastal fauna resulting in many economic activities such as fishery, tourism and industrial development. However, the high concentrations of economic activities in the coastal zone contribute to higher potential of degradation of coastal (environmental) resources that drive these economics. This study aims to estimate the monetary value of coastal environment in two selected coastal wetlands such as beaches and estuary. The data collection has been done through non-site surveys and interviews with several respondents. Economic valuation approaches and techniques have been applied to quantify the value of coastal ecosystems including net factor income, hedonic price and contingent choice method. The highest economic contribution of coastal ecosystems was Fishery value accounts at Rp 23,340,352,861, followed by Amenity value at Rp 439,002,861, and Research value in a range Rp 238,868,000 and Rp 492,870,000. While, the lowest environmental value was estimated as Art value at Rp 214,045,150. For the two selected beaches and estuary, the Recreational/Tourism value was estimated at Rp 19,010,974,803, and Rp 1,011,087,200, respectively.

Looking for information on whether a dental crown or dental bridge is better for repairing damaged teeth? These two popular tooth repair options are commonly used to fix problem teeth. When it comes to which option should be used, it depends on the reason why each patient needs dental repair. Read on to find out…
Can Dental Implants Replace Molar Teeth?
Considering dental implants to replace a molar tooth? The molars are the large, flat teeth located in the back part of your mouth and used to grind your food when chewing. Not counting your wisdom teeth, you have eight molars in your mouth, all of which play an important part in your ability to properly chew your food. The molars also absorb a large amount of force from the jaw muscles when chewing, which means a missing molar can make the other teeth and/or the jaw hurt.
About tooth replacement
Thinking that a dental implant is not necessary when you are just missing one of your teeth? Think again. Every single one of your teeth plays an important role, and when just one is missing, it can lead to a number of oral problems. According to the American Academy of Periodontology, missing teeth can make it more difficult to chew your food properly and may even affect the way you eat. The empty spaces due to missing teeth can also start to make the rest of the teeth crooked, which does not support a healthy mouth.
Can dental implants replace molar teeth?
Yes, patients can choose to have one or more implants placed in their mouths when they are missing their molar teeth. This is good news for those who are missing any molars, as these teeth play an important role in one’s overall good health. When a patient is only missing one of their molars, a single tooth implant can be used to replace it. When a patient is missing multiple molars, they may benefit from choosing an implant bridge. These options will be discussed between the patient and the dental professional.
For patients who do not have enough jawbone in order to support an implant, their next step is asking their dental professional if they can be approved to undergo a bone graft. Bone grafting is an option for patients who do not have a sufficient amount of jawbone, as this dental procedure adds more bone to the jawbone. This additional amount of bone should be enough to support a dental implant, so patients can get the approval they need to have one or more implants placed in their mouths.
Can anyone get dental implants?
When someone chooses dental implants as their tooth replacement option, they must first be approved as a candidate to undergo the surgical process. Factors that make a good candidate include being free of any periodontal diseases, having a sufficient amount of jawbone, not living with an immune system disorder, not smoking and being in overall good general health.
Ready to schedule a consultation appointment?
If you have decided that dental implants are the right missing tooth replacement option for you, contact us now so we can get you scheduled in for a consultation appointment. During this appointment, you will learn everything you need to know about the dental implant process. Since it is possible to have your missing teeth replaced by implants in as few as three dental appointments, we hope to hear from you today!

A bottle of Calpol was marked up to £20 at a city pharmacy in the middle of dramatic price hikes reported across Birmingham due to the the coronavirus outbreak.
City councillor, Majid Mahmood, wrote furiously on Twitter calling out the pharmacy which resides in his ward in Bromford and Hodge Hill, one of the poorest parts of the city.
In a tweet he wrote: "Really disappointed that a local @JhootsPharmacy in my ward is charging extortionate prices for paracetamol and calpol."
The bottle which is normally retails for around £3.99 is a paracetamol bases suspension for young children.
But in the middle of shortages due to panic-buying, where customers are stockpiling food and products in fear of a lockdown, prices have increased.
The smaller 100ml bottle is on the shelf for £9.99, reports Birmingham Live.
At the same chemist's a box of 32 paracetamol tablets, normally costing £1.39, is on sale for £9.99.
It is a branch of Jhoots Pharmacy, a Walsall-based company with more than 100 branches across the country. The firm said it was investigating.
Councillor Mahmood said he was appalled to see a community pharmacy charging such high prices during a critical time of national crisis.
He said: "Just last week it was charging £1.39 for 32 paracetamol and today it is £9.99. Not good for a community pharmacy putting profits before people #COVID2019."
The message sparked an instant reaction and was retweeted and shared widely – sparking this response from Twitter user @emmawhizz, who wrote: "A local independent chemist (that I have supported because they are an independent business) is selling 100ml Calpol for £10, 200ml for £20 and I can't even… then an angry face.
She adds: "This chemist happens to be in one of the most deprived areas of Birmingham, which is something like the 3rd most deprived area in England, but yeah, let's get parents paying £20 for liquid paracetamol. Or when they shoplift it, come down heavy handed on them."
Bromford and Hodge Hill ward is in the Labour MP Liam Byrne's constituency of Hodge Hill, which is indeed one of the most deprived areas in the whole country.
Late yesterday evening there was this response on Twitter from Jhoots Pharmacy : "It has come to our attention that some branches have increased their prices, we are currently investigating the matter. Meanwhile our staff are working hard to serve our communities during difficult times and putting on extra provision for free deliveries."
Among those who responded to the original tweet was a shopper in Bath who posted a receipt from another Jhoots Pharmacy branch showing a box of 32 paracetamol there had also cost £9.99 – suggesting the price upgrades were more universal than a single branch.
Amid the stockpiling crisis, some supermarkets are doing all they can to try to prevent shoppers from ransacking stores.
This includes limiting specific times for key workers and the most vulnerable to do their shopping in peace – as well as limiting how many products individuals can buy.

BAKERSFIELD - A new approach to dealing with offenders who were constantly in and out of jail is starting to get results.
The Matrix Program is still relatively new at Lerdo jail.
The program gives inmates life skills and job skills to give them the best chance for success once they are released from jail.
The goal is to give the inmates the help they need to finally break the cycle of drugs, crime in jail.
Two men that 23 ABC profiled several months ago in the program are now out of jail and doing well.
Keith Shelton and Jeremy Johnston are staying at Freedom House, a sober living program.
Both have passed dozens of drug test since they were released and they are finally getting their lives back together.
Shelton and Johnston both say they are grateful for the program and they now know they will never go back to their former life of drugs and crime.
The owner of Freedom House Lynn Huckaby says both men are doing very well in the program.

Why does my olive oil burn? Because it's good for you
If it's smooth without bite, you might be missing the key health benefits.
The olive oil most often found on grocery store shelves, comes from a variety of farms that may not all follow the same high standards for purity. What you end up with is an oil that delivers far fewer healthy benefits that you believe you are getting.
The best olive oils have a 'bite'. At the back of your tongue you will feel a slight burn. This is due to the compound oleocanthal which is found in fresh extra virgin olive oil. This compound has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties which boost long term health. It may also play a role in reducing the risk of Alzheimer's.
In addition, fresh EVOO has a wide range of anti-oxidants and phytonutrients that have a numerous health benefits including heart health, reducing inflammation in the cardiovascular system, and even regulating blood sugar. Adding olive oil to food may even increase the health benefits of the ingredients. For example, one study found that adding EVOO to raw or cooked tomatoes increases the absorption of antioxidants from the tomatoes to the body.
Napa Valley EVOO produces high quality olive oil from organic olives grown in Napa Valley. The climate in Napa Valley is not just good for growing wine grapes, but also for growing olive trees. Owner and founder Jamie Anzalone--a wine expert and seasoned top chef--knows flavor. The products from Napa Valley EVOO make cooking fun, delicious, and rewarding.
The EVOO is made from hand picked olives from different areas in Napa Valley such as St. Helena, Calistoga, and the Stag's Leap region. They also offer imported cask-aged Italian balsamics, infused olive oils, and salts and seasonings such as Za'atar.
Check out their gourmet California olive oils and shop and gift from their iPhone store with a couple taps on the Treatmo iOS App. You can also chat about your favorite EVOO in the app.

The hymen is a thin membrane located at the opening of the vagina. It is a flexible and elastic tissue that varies in shape and thickness among individuals. While there is no strict classification system for types of hymens, the following are descriptions of common hymen variations:
1. Crescentic Hymen:
A crescentic hymen is characterized by a small, crescent-shaped opening in the hymen. This shape allows for the passage of menstrual blood and may result in minimal resistance or discomfort during sexual activity.
2. Annular Hymen:
An annular hymen forms a complete circle around the vaginal opening. It may have a central opening, allowing for the passage of menstrual blood. This type of hymen tends to be more elastic and typically does not cause significant issues with sexual activity.
3. Septate Hymen:
A septate hymen is characterized by the presence of a band of tissue or membrane that partially or completely divides the vaginal opening. This division can create a barrier or narrow opening that may cause discomfort or pain during sexual intercourse or menstruation.
4. Cribriform Hymen:
A cribriform hymen has multiple small perforations or openings in the hymenal tissue. These perforations can vary in number, size, and arrangement. The presence of multiple openings allows for the passage of menstrual blood and may minimize any issues with sexual activity.
5. Imperforate Hymen:
An imperforate hymen is a rare condition in which the hymen completely covers the vaginal opening, without any perforations. This can lead to the accumulation of menstrual blood within the vagina, causing abdominal pain or a swollen abdomen. Surgical intervention is often required to create an opening for menstrual blood to pass.
It’s important to note that hymen anatomy can vary widely among individuals, and the appearance or structure of the hymen does not necessarily indicate sexual activity or virginity. Hymens can also naturally change over time due to physical activities, hormonal changes, or medical conditions.
If you have concerns about your hymen or are experiencing any discomfort or pain related to it, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional, such as a gynecologist. They can provide appropriate guidance, perform a physical examination, and address any concerns you may have regarding your sexual health.

BigLift Baffin moved three enormous STSC cranes from Oita, Japan to Honolulu, Hawaii for our client MES.
In Oita, the cranes were rolled on board over the side of BigLift Baffin. Each crane weighed 1,431 mt and was 70 metres high. Their footprint was just over 30 metres, which meant that the rear of the cranes reached over the port side of the vessel by more than 32 metres and the loading arm over starboard by 48 metres.
The voyage over the Pacific Ocean took 17 days and the cranes were safely discharged in the port of Honolulu, again by Ro-Ro over the side of BigLift Baffin.

The Science Isn’t Settled: A Response to the Climate Change Crybullies
In the face of a monolithically climate alarmist academia, media and government, several courageous individuals are working to unsettle the purportedly “settled science” of climate change, arguing that carbon dioxide atmospheric enrichment provides manifold benefits for mankind, that flawed economic models are being used to justify anti-capitalist and destructive public policies, that mild warming of the planet ought to be celebrated and fighting back courageously against those who wish to chill free speech by using the law to litigate science. This is their story. Featured speakers include Mark Steyn, international bestselling author and commentator, Dr. William Happer, Cyrus Fogg Brackett Professor of Physics at Princeton, Dr. Craig Idso, Founder Former President and Current Chairman of the Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Change, Dr. Patrick Moore, Co-Founder of Greenpeace and author of “Confessions of a Greenpeace Dropout—The Making of a Sensible Environmentalist,” Dr. Ross McKitrick, Professor of Economics and Research Chair in Energy, Ecology and Prosperity at the Frontier Centre for Public Policy, Dr. Richard Lindzen Professor Emeritus of Atmospheric Sciences at MIT, Bruce Everett, a Specialist on Global Energy and Petroleum Issues and Adjunct Associate Professor of International Business, Fletcher School at Tufts University and Roger Kimball, Editor and Publisher of The New Criterion.

عنوان مقاله [English]
In this study for meter factor prediction, the bidirectional pipe prover performance has been simulated by CFD techniques in two velocities as 2 and 3 m/s for kerosene and two types of crude oil. Because of moving boundary condition, the simulations have been carried out with dynamic mesh. In the first stage of the simulation to have fully developed flow in the calibration section the prover pipe has been investigated without the sphere, next simulations has been repeated with ball in flow through the prover but with same conditions at the first stage. To achieve the lowest possible error, several simulations were conducted with two turbulence models: standard k-e and k-w. For validation, the CFD calculated pipe friction coefficient has been compared to empirical relations. The velocity distribution has been discussed for output cross-section and around the ball in prover. The results show that the effects of Reynolds number variation on meter factor are ignorable. Moreover, this work illustrates that CFD simulations is an inexpensive powerful tool for evaluation of prover performance. Also these simulations can be used for design of provers and detectors positions determination, etc.

Sometimes you find beauty in the strangest places. Pole Position's XO is an entrancing debut album born from the bastion of enlightenment known as New Jersey. The Luso-American duo has crafted a narrative populated with unforgiving cityscapes, lost loves, and ill-fated adult video stars superimposed on a soundtrack of relatively sparse keyboards and drums. Daniel DaSilva handles vocals and alternates between synthesizer and piano while Rui Guerreiro provides drums (they are occasionally augmented by bass and, to my ears, there isn't a note of guitar on the album), though not without hinting at their culture's rich musical heritage.
They claim their "influences range from Portuguese fado and Brazilian bossa nova to Krautrock, '70s Italian pop, prog rock, crypto-homo rockers, and fierce determination". (What's a crypto-homo rocker?) For all their name-dropping, however, the most immediate point of reference seems to be mid-period Radiohead. You can't fault a young band for emulating one of the most relevant acts of the past decade, but the falsetto vocals and tense piano (particularly on "Heartz Attack") clearly recall Thom Yorke at his most introspective.
The simultaneously lush yet cold arrangements (as well as a penchant for substituting "z" for "s" when forming the plural) also serve to loosely align the band with a nascent new wave revival which may be a bit premature. Like the best tributes, XO succeeds in replicating the spirit of its inspirations rather than opting for rote yet uninspired reproductions. DaSilva's vocals in particular share the same fey detachment of New Romantic poster boy David Sylvian without ever aping his delivery. Similarly, the lyrical content of much of the album is liberally drawn from the Kraftwerk/Gary Numan school of neon lit cities and gleaming automobiles.
The band also has a keen understanding of dynamics which stretches beyond the quiet/loud dichotomy that most bands have learned to settle for. "Boulevard" features more lifts and falls than your favorite rollercoaster and "Move Enough" has a muffled yet majestic chorus. The album is filled with the sort of subtle nuances which only reveal themselves upon further listening (and also serve to make the mini-album a better value than you would expect). "The Nerve" sports a deceptively simple yet expressively jazzy piano and "Time Travelz" weaves an intricate piano melody against an equally sophisticated vocal.
The eight songs on the relatively short disc (clocking in at just over 25 minutes) deftly manage to straddle the fine line between pointlessly retro and hypnotically timeless. It's a trick that many less gifted bands would be hard pressed to pull off. Repeatedly the songs manage to feel familiar yet innovative. The cheesy synth of "Electric Do" transcends kitsch and instead its reedy lo-fi tone is wholly appropriate. If the album does have a fault it is perhaps that the individual tracks do not stand apart from each other well enough. "Tragic Death of Porn Starz" substitutes a drum machine for its human equivalent but for the most part songs merely distinguish themselves from each other by the tempo employed and little else. With a bit more confidence and willingness to expand Pole Position could be a band to keep your eye on. Anything less would be a disappointment.
