Fashion designer Virgil Abloh has been working on pieces for an upcoming IKEA collection. One of the first pieces to be unveiled is this pop-art rug that looks like an oversized shopping receipt.
During IKEA's annual conference today, the brand revealed the first official photos for the upcoming Markerad collection, which has been in the works for over a year and is aimed at millennials…
The Markerad collection is due to hit stores in 2019. Other pieces in the range include slogan-covered rugs and Abloh's take on the IKEA Frakta bag.
In early May, HYPEBEAST shared this video of some of the other pieces in Abloh's collection for IKEA, including his slogan-covered rugs and that modified Frakta bag:
My first thoughts on the rug: I kind of love it but it's not long enough. IKEA receipts are like a mile long. Maybe it should've been a hallway runner instead.

Throughout the Second Life Grid, there were a number of events reflecting on the day nine years ago when the United States suffered it's worst attack from terrorism, a total of 3000 killed. Some events were small with just a few attending. Others were larger, involving dozens. Two of these commemorations were the small vigil at Mystery, and the large remembrance at the NYC sim.

The government has been losing over 3trn/- every year over illicit financial flows [IFFs] through various forms, with extractive sector leading due to the importation of heavy machineries and technology.
Speaking yesterday in Dar es Salaam during a Policy Forum Breakfast Debate hosted by Policy in partnership with Stanbic Biashara Incubator, Hellen Masawe, the Programme Officer-Policy Analysis Department, Policy Forum said that IFFs have been negatively impacting the country’s development and economic growth.
She noted that IFFs are largely got through three major sources which are drug trafficking. Whereby the money is transferred illegally from one country to another.
Masawe further said that some investors in the extractive sector usually when preparing invoices they inflate prices or lower prices when importing heavy equipment for mining extraction and technology, from sister companies abroad.
As a result at the end of the day they declare that they have not got profit and thus minimize tax liability they were supposed to pay to the government. That is another way of IFFs being practiced by some of these investors.
She said that IFFs can also be done through using funds that have been gained legally, but are used illegally, for example by sponsoring terrorists and other illegal activities.
Masawe has suggested that if Tanzania and other developing countries want to eliminate IFFs in their countries, they should take concerted efforts so as to have global tax standards under the United Nations instead of being under the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
OECD is blamed for setting the market prices and contributes a lot to IFFs.”OECD has been establishing global standards that don’t match the needs of the developing countries, Tanzania inclusive.
IFFs happen as companies exploit gaps in national and international tax systems to reduce their tax liability
IFFs are harmful since they undermine the integrity of the tax system, discourage tax morality and encourage a perception of unfairness in the tax system.
She has suggested that what is needed is for the government to increase more efforts of collaborating with other countries that would enable them get more information on IFFs.
For his part, Associate Professor of Development Economics at the University of Dar es Salaam Professor Abel Kinyondo and who is also an expert in International trade said that IFFs is like terrorism, is something that cannot be combated as a single country.
He said that since we are in a global village, even if you put a lot of regulations it will be almost impossible to combat it as an individual country. “The only practical solution is to have a global approach towards fighting IFFs.”
Prof. Kinyondo said that for the purpose of tax, there are three jurisdictions. These are source jurisdiction, intermediary jurisdiction [tax havens], and resident jurisdiction. Some companies erode taxes through these jurisdictions.
He suggested that the only way of addressing commercial tax evasion, trade mis-invoices and abusive transfer pricing, is to add values to the local contents instead of importing from outside.
Meanwhile, he has said “Depositing money in banks is worth creating because the reserve becomes big and as a result that enables other customers to borrow that money.”
For his part, Business Manager with Stanbic Bank, Sylvester Malimu said that since 78 percent of Tanzanians don’t have bank accounts, instead they use cash based, so ending IFFs is a hard bone to chew.
He said that one of the requirements of the Central Bank of Tanzania to banks and other financial institutions as their regulator is to ensure they comply with the money laundering act.
Malimu said that with the presence of the IFFs in the market, banks don’t get enough deposits because some rich people have chosen to keep their money at home or have invested in real estates. They evade paying taxes.
He said one of the ways Stanbic is taking to combat IFFs in their bank is to know their customers and their financial status, including their inflows and outflows.
“Our bank is operating by adhering to the country’s laws and their organization in the right way, and serves the right customers.”
He has suggested that in order to combat IFFs everyone should embrace national interests over personal interests.
Other sources have indicated that there is a globe cartel or syndicate that deals with IFFs from developing countries to developed countries.
Some businesses in the country are also used to transfer IFFs because they are registered in foreign countries. So, the profits are sent back to where those trademarks were registered.
Others are double taxation agreement, technology and under-declaration. IFFs are common in Africa because of porous and slackness laws.
“We need to enter contracts with those countries. There should be proper systems on how to exchange information between one country and another.”
Many companies engage in IFFs because they get their money illegitimately; through tax evasion and by sending money to countries where they entertain tax havens.
Impacts of IFFs to a nation’s economy include loss of revenues to a country; government failure to provide social services to its people; creating a huge gap between the haves and have not.
IFFs involve movement of money that is illegally earned, transferred, or utilized. This flow of money is in violation of laws in their origin, or during the movement or use and is therefore considered illicit.
Various forms of IFFs include tax avoidance, tax evasion, trade mispricing and money laundering.

Graphic Designers apply different types of skills to develop a product. The methodology to differentiate their work may differ from one designer to the next. Still, the software they use allows the expansion of creativity while staying within the confines of the project proposal.
The list of Graphic Design software listed below includes those that have garnered acclaim from those it has served all these years. These design software have helped all types of designers, from professionals to hobbyists, regardless of their skill level or know-how, while some in the list are new upstarts that have made a splash in the graphic design scene.
In selecting the right design software that you would need for your project, you would need to consider where you would be using it, from typography and image editing to page layout. You need to consider the mode of payment, especially if the software you need is part of a collection or suite. There’s design software that is available through subscription while some are available for a one-time payment. Others are open-source and are considered free. You may donate to the developer because of the free software’s availability and honor their accomplishment.
Adobe Illustrator is a vector graphics solution for professional graphic artists and designers. I prefer to use this because of its flexibility to accommodate and meet whatever the project needs. With its wide range of tools, you have a vector graphics solution in your hands to help you create designs for print media and websites. It works excellently with vector graphics that translate to beautiful typography and illustrations.
Read also What Is Autocad? | Why You Should Use
With Adobe Illustrator, you can make quick design modifications and changes because of its presets and templates that are readily available. With Adobe Illustrator being part of the Creative Cloud, collaborative work through cloud servers is possible. A team of designers may choose to share projects. Another notable benefit of this industry-standard vector graphics software is scalability. Artworks, especially those concerning vectors, may be scaled to any size. What scalability means is your design can reach multiple platforms, from billboard signages to as small as your mobile phone’s LED screen, while maintaining its quality. One last thing to discuss is you may get this software through a subscription to access the Adobe Creative Cloud.
Affinity Designer has a collection of tools useful for vector graphics drawings, and it has a separate tool for making curves, straight edges, and for brushes. The brush tool mimics the feeling of using a real paintbrush.
The interface of Affinity Designer may need a little getting used to to get accustomed with the controls. Although you see the toolbars that you need to go forward with any design challenge, there are different personas that you can access that have their collection of design options that influence your design. Gain access to personas through the three dots on the upper left-hand corner of the screen. The default Vector persona shows the usual toolbars and palettes. But choosing Pixel persona opens a new collection of tools and effects. While selecting the Export persona, it gives you options connected to export your work. Affinity Designer is part of a trio of design software. And each of these software cost around $49.
CorelDRAW Graphic Suite
CorelDRAW’s graphic suite has a lot to offer. The bundle has Photo-Paint (image editing), Power TRACE (image converter), AfterShot (for RAW files), and Font Manager (font organizer). At the center of this package is the CorelDRAW. It gives the designer multi-page layout functionality, vector manipulation, and desktop publishing. It also provides the designer with a tool to edit vector effects and handle web graphics. CorelDRAW is also fully functional in Mac.
Canva is another great tool for a graphic designer. It has a wide range of over a million graphics, templates, fonts, and images to choose from to quickly create your design wherever you may be, even when you are far away from your desktop. Canva is a cloud-based design platform that lets designers create their projects even on the go. With Canva, template designs are relevant as their designs are fresh and creative. Its intuitive drag-and-drop editing functionality and access to a vast library of design templates give both beginners and professionals a level playing field, no matter what your design skill level may be and for whatever purpose.
Canva is an online platform that enables team collaboration by allowing other team members to apply changes, edit, or comment on a particular work. Canva is flexible enough to let you publish your designs, download, and print your work anywhere, Canva is free for personal use and a team of up to 10 members. But the package is a bit limited with only a limited template library. They have a very affordable plan should you want to access more of their premium designs for your projects. Though, it is worth noting that Canva made all their premium template designs available for free to help designers work and create designs even during a pandemic.
Most design software needs local installation to take advantage of your device’s hardware speed and capability. Gravit Designer, similar to Canva, has online options too. It’s cloud-based and would run using most browsers and allows you to save your work locally or to the cloud server. Gravit Designer has a limited free version that you can try out and use. You see, even with the free version, Gravit Designer is an impressive platform. It also has a paid version with Gravit Designer PRO that gives you unlimited storage online, advanced export options, the ability to work offline, and increased design resolution to up to 300dpi.
Procreate is a design platform available for the iPad. It’s beloved by so many people, professionals, and beginners alike. It is a complete art studio that lets you freely express yourself through sketches, illustrations, and impressive paintings. You will be using intuitive software tools that recreate the feel of using a brush to create a picture or artwork. It has a Brush Studio that allows the designer to customize each brush available from Procreate’s vast collection.
You may tweak the types of brushes that you use for your designs or even create your own. With Procreate, you have complete control over your color and strokes. With its intuitive gesture control, you get to see more of your artwork interface rather than be covered by tabs that usually have button controls. Procreate has a lot more features, like giving you font control, and special effects, and allowing you to record your progress through a time-lapse recording, which makes it a powerful tool for any designer.
The design process, the interface, the collaborative effort, and the extra features may influence your decision in choosing the right design software to utilize. But it still boils down to the purpose as to why you love to make designs and artworks. The software is just a tool for a designer to communicate effectively the idea that is being conveyed. Being able to bridge the gap between the designer and end-user and effectively send the message through an illustration requires sensitivity and intuition. Great illustration skill is a great talent to have, but we must all master it to communicate through it effectively.

Spencer Webb’s girlfriend announces pregnancy weeks after his death at 22 #Spencer #Webbs #girlfriend #announces #pregnancy #weeks #death Welcome to Viasildes, here is the new story we have for you today:
American football player Spencer Webb died at the age of 22 (Picture: Instagram)
Spencer Webb’s girlfriend, Kelly Kay, has announced her pregnancy in an emotional update, just weeks after his death.
The college athlete and Oregon Ducks tight end died last month at the age of 22, with fans of the sport stunned by the news.
Taking to Instagram, his beloved partner shared that she is set to welcome their first child together in a tragic post.
She shared a selection of pictures from her announcement shoot, dressed simply in a black crop top and matching underwear as she held up a sign showing her baby scan.
‘Coming soon. Baby Webb,’ it read.
Alongside the upload, she wrote: ‘We created an angel before heaven gained one. All you ever wanted was to be a father…I know you’ll be the best one from up above.

‘Can’t believe I have to do it without you but knowing I’ll have a piece of you keeps me going.
‘I can’t wait to meet the person that’s half you, half me. I love you forever, both of you.’
The expectant mom also posted a screengrab of a text message chain with her late partner, in which they discussed having children at one point.
Webb died last month after a cliff-diving accident, with the Lane County Sheriff’s Office confirming the news in a statement.
Kelly shared a loving tribute to her late partner (Picture: Instagram)
A spokesperson explained that authorities responded the scene after receiving a report of an injured person.
‘Upon arrival, deputies learned that a 22 year old male recreating in the area fell and struck his head,’ the message read.
‘Bystanders and responding paramedics were unable to revive him. Lane County Sheriff Search and Rescue personnel responded to assist with bringing him back to the roadway as he was approximately 100 yards down a steep trail.
‘There is no evidence of foul play and his death appears to be accidental. The victim’s name is being withheld at this time pending next of kin notification.’
Kay later paid tribute to Webb in a touching Instagram post.
‘My best friend my twin flame the love of my life. I’ve never loved anything as much as I love you,’ she said in July, beside a string of photos of them together. ‘You were my everything, you gave me purpose, you showed me what it’s like to be cherished and valued and seen for me.
‘We had so many big plans. I don’t know where to go from here but I know you’ll be watching over me keeping me strong. You always put everybody else before yourself and I’ll try to hold the same kindness in my heart.
‘From this life to the next one baby I love you so much and I’ll find you again.’

Will we see an increase in scoring in 2013-14? That will be one of the key questions after the NHL and players’ association agreed to reduce the size of goaltender leg pads.
Previously, netminders were allowed goalie pads that could cover 55 percent of the gap from the knee to pelvis. That’s been reduced to 45 percent starting with this season, according to NHL.com. That might be a bit hard to picture, but fortunately the 6-foot-2 Craig Anderson tweeted a nice visual representation of the change. In the picture to the right, his old leg pad is placed next to his new, smaller one.
As you can see, it’s not a drastic change, but it certainly is a noticeable one. Naturally though, the difference is dependent on the goaltender’s size.
A smaller goaltender like the Toronto Maple Leafs’ Jonathan Bernier stands to only lose about an inch, but some guys will have to deal with about a five-inch reduction between their two pads, which in Bernier’s words is “huge.”
While these changes have been talked about for a little bit now, goaltenders are getting a chance to make their first impressions now that they’re getting their 2013-14 pads.
“They feel a little bit shorter, yeah, but it’s not too much of a big change,” Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Corey Crawford said. “I’m sure there will be a bit of an adjustment period, but it’s something I’ve gone through and the other goalies have gone through before.
“I just hope it’s not something that leads to injuries. With a shorter pad, hopefully we’ll have a good limit for knee pads so guys don’t get hurt.”
Pittsburgh Penguins netminder Marc-Andre Fleury largely echoed Crawford’s concerns about what this change might mean when it comes to their protection against potential knee injuries. NHL goaltenders are already allowed to wear knee pads that are nine inches across, but the NHLPA and league are still talking about possible changes.
“We have to find a way to protect the guys that play that way, but make sure the protection just follows the contour of their knee and doesn’t plug the five hole,” NHL senior manager of hockey operations and goaltending equipment Kay Whitmore said.
As for Jean-Sebastien Giguere, he just doesn’t want to see goaltenders get the blame if this adversely impacts their numbers.
“Coaches and GMs, you guys want that, you’ve been asking for more goals [through the] five hole,” Giguere said. “So if your goalie gives up a goal five hole, you need to take a breath and remember that you asked for it.”

© 2020, Higher Education Press.Despite the large variations in the behaviors of water-reducing admixtures upon changes in their structures, most previous reports on the cement-admixture compatibility did not provide sufficient information on the structure of the admixture. Hence, the evaluation and generalization of the reports on the cement-admixture compatibility are challenging. In this study, three different polycarboxylate-ether-based water-reducing admixtures with the same free nonionic content, anionic/nonionic molar ratio, and main chain length and different side chain lengths were produced. The compatibility of these admixtures with a CEM I 42.5 R-type cement was investigated. In addition, an analysis of variance was performed on the experiment results to evaluate the contributions of the admixture type, admixture/cement ratio, and elapsing time to the Marsh funnel flow time, mini-slump, slump flow, and compressive strength. The water-reducing admixtures having long or short side chains reduced the initial flow characteristics of the cementitious systems. However, the admixture having the shortest side chain was better with regard to flow retention. The side chain length of the admixture did not have significant effects on the compressive strength and water absorption capacity of the mortar mixtures and mini-slump performances of the cement paste mixtures. Regarding the behaviors of the admixtures in the cementitious systems, an optimal admixture side chain molecular weight is proposed.

Realme 5 Pro preview: Sony's 48MP camera comes to the budget segment
Realme burst onto the scene in India just 15 months ago, and it's already releasing its twelfth device in the country. That alone should tell you about the manufacturer's frenetic launch cycle as it tries to out-maneuver Xiaomi in India's budget segment. The Realme 3 Pro was the brand's first phone I used with any regularity, and I came away liking the hardware on offer. It isn't often that a brand beats Xiaomi at the value game, and Realme seems to be making a habit of it.
Four months after the launch of the Realme 3 series, the brand is launching the Realme 5 and Realme 5 Pro. The main highlight of the Realme 5 series is the quad rear cameras — the Realme 5 Pro has a 48MP Sony IMX586 sensor as the primary shooter, and the Realme 5 has a 12MP lens.
The Realme 5 series takes over from the Realme 3 and 3 Pro, and if you're wondering why there isn't a Realme 4, there's a good answer. Because the phones have five cameras in total — four at the back and one up front — and a 5000mAh battery, Realme says it decided to opt instead for the Realme 5 moniker for the series. Furthermore, the number four is considered unlucky in China, so that also likely played a part in either device's branding.
Right, onto the device itself. The Realme 5 Pro features a 6.3-inch FHD+ LCD display with a waterdrop cutout — the same as its predecessor — and the chin at the bottom of the display is relatively slim. The screen is backed by a layer of Gorilla Glass 3, and the phone comes with a plastic screen protector out of the box.
The back of the phone is more interesting, and not just because of that quad camera array. The Realme 5 Pro has the same jagged crystal design as earlier Realme devices, but this time the pattern sits underneath a layer of polycarbonate. You still get that mesmerizing pattern, and the device isn't particularly heavy at 184g thanks to the plastic chassis. The color shifts between green and blue hues based on light reflecting off of the surface, and the gorgeous green color is reminiscent of the Mi Mix 3 Jade Green edition.
The Realme 5 Pro has the distinction of being the brand's first quad camera device. The primary lens is a 48MP Sony IMX586, and it's joined by an 8MP wide-angle module with a 119-degree field of view, a 2MP macro lens that shoots objects just 4cm away, and finally a depth sensor for creating a background blur effect when shooting in portrait mode. The main camera shoots at 12MP, but you do get the option to take images at the full 48MP resolution.
Aside from the 48MP sensor, the other three sensors are standard across both the Realme 5 Pro and the standard Realme 5. I'm not sure why Realme went with a macro lens in lieu of an optical zoom module, but it should be interesting to see how the macro lens fares in day-to-day usage. I'll have more on that next week.
Overall though, it is great to see Realme using the Sony IMX586 in a device that costs just ₹13,999 ($195). The sensor is proven to be one of the best around, and the fact that it's available in the budget segment makes the Realme 5 Pro a standout device.
Elsewhere, you get a USB-C port with 20W VOOC fast charging and a 4035mAh battery, and Realme has retained the 3.5mm jack. There's a single speaker at the bottom next to the USB-C port, and you get a dual SIM card slot that has a dedicated slot for a MicroSD card.
On the hardware side of things, the Realme 5 Pro is one of the first devices to run Qualcomm's Snapdragon 712 chipset. The chipset is manufactured on a 10nm node, and has four cores based on the Cortex A75 at 2.3GHz and four A55 derivatives at 1.7GHz. Realme is making the device available with up to 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, and power really isn't an issue here. Another highlight is that the storage module is based on UFS2.1.
Not a whole lot has changed from a software point of view, with the Realme 5 Pro running ColorOS 6.0 based on Android 9.0 Pie. The brand is slated to launch its own custom skin that's more in line with pure Android at some point, but for now you'll have to settle with the changes that are baked into ColorOS. Realme has changed the look of the icons for the quick toggles, making them look much more modern. The app drawer is enabled by default, and you get the option to switch to navigation gestures and there's the usual slate of customization options on offer.
The Realme 5 Pro is going on sale from early next month, and will be available in three variants. The base model with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage retails for ₹13,999 ($195), the 6GB option with 64GB of storage is ₹14,999 ($210), and the variant with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage will set you back ₹16,999 ($238). Given the minor difference in cost, you're better off picking up the 6GB option. I'll have much more to talk about the Realme 5 Pro in the coming weeks, so stay tuned.
Quad camera fun
Making Sony's 48MP camera accessible for everyone.
The Realme 5 Pro has a striking design with a gorgeous green hue, and the aesthetic is backed by great hardware in the form of a Snapdragon 712 and 6GB of RAM as well as 64GB of UFS 2.1 storage. The highlight, however, is the 48MP sensor at the back that's joined by three other lenses.

THE MOSHKETEERS - The Downward Spiral [1992 Demo]
LABEL: Roxx Records (2010)
THE MOSHKETEERS were formed in 1985 as Rapture in Albuquerque, NM. As Rapture they recorded 2 demos, "Rapture" (1987) and "Vacation From Hell" (1989). Shortly after the release of that second demo (raw, early Anthrax inspired thrash) the band changed their name to The Moshketeers.
As THE MOSHKETEERS, they would record 3 quality demos: "The Moshketeers" (1989), "The Downward Spiral" (1992), and "Pre-Release" (1997). Though the band had been rumored to have signed a deal with a large independent, eventually nothing came from it and the band called it a day.
This 2010 re-issue from Roxx Records includes the complete 1992 and 1997 recordings, as well as 1 track from the '89 demo, fully remastered and with brand new artwork exclusive to this release.
FOR FANS OF: Anthrax ("State of Euphoria" and "Persistence of Time" era), Bitter End, Wargasm, Atrophy

With a brand new G.M. and daily coaching rumors in Washington, it’s easy to forget Jim Zorn still has three more games to coach.
And there is much work to be done before Zorn hits the field again Monday night.
The Redskins announced they will bring in more than 1,200 workers to clear snow after the largest pre-game snowfall in team history.
The Redskins will have to remove 25 million pounds of snow in all from Fedex Field. The Redskins even consulted with team officials from four other snowy locales on how best to handle the storm.
So while we debate whether it’s worth going out to get some milk tonight, we salute the 1,200 folks giving the Redskins a hand.

Michael Trent Reznor was born on May 17, 1965, in Pennsylvania, U.S., to mummy Nancy Lou and daddy Michael Reznor. He is a descendant of George Reznor and is the descent of Irish and German. He spent his childhood in Mercer, Pennsylvania. Unluckily, his parents got separation, and he had to live with his maternal family. Reznor attended Mercer Area High School to learn to play the tuba and the tenor saxophone. He also participated in the theater during high school. His class-fellows selected him as Best in Drama due to his characters as Professor Harold Hill in The Music Man and Judas in Jesus Christ Superstar. Reznor did his graduation in 1983 and got admission to Allegheny College to study computer engineering. He tied his knot, in October 2009, with Mariqueen Maandig, who is a Filipino American singer-lyricist. Their kids are Lazarus Echo Reznor, Balthazar Venn Reznor, and Nova-Lux Reznor.
Being born on 17 May 1965, Trent Reznor is 54 years old as of today’s date 4th May 2020. His height is 1.7 m tall, and his weight is 67 kg.
Reznor, midway 1980s, collaborated with several different bands based on synthesizers.

In 1989, the debut album of Nine Inch Nails, Pretty Hate Machine, was made to the public, which broke all the previous records. Subsequently, in 1994 another album named ‘The Downward Spiral’ was released. He created soundtrack Burn for the movie Natural Born Killers by Oliver Stone the same year. In 1999 3rd album ‘The Fragile’ of Nine Inch Nails was released. Following this, in 2005, the release of the 4th album With Teeth took place. Reznor paired up with Atticus Ross for creating the score for films, including The Social Network, Gone Girl, and Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. In addition to Ross, Reznor has also teamed up with the band Jane’s Addiction and artists like Marilyn Manson, Saul Williams, etc. Reznor, along with his wife and Ross, created a...
Reznor, along with Ross, in 2011, was awarded due to their performance in The Social Network with the Academy Award for Original Score and the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score. Then for Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media in 2013, they both were awarded the 2013 Grammy Award.
As of May 2020, Reznor has a predictable net worth of $75 million. He brought home this big amount mainly because of his massive contribution as the creator, singer, musician as well as musician for the popular rock band named Nine Inch Nails. Furthermore, his income got a bigger boost because of the awards he achieved for his outstanding contribution as a vocalist to the music industry. Reznor is a huge follower of David Bowie and quoted the album Low as his much-loved one. He nurtured himself as a vocalist since his childhood, which made him a well-known and one of the most successful artists of America of the current era.

Founding BLUE ÖYSTER CULT Members Team Up With DEKO ENTERTAINMENT To Launch ROCKHEART RECORDS
June 16, 2020
Albert and Joe Bouchard are best known as founding members of BLUE ÖYSTER CULT. The original lineup sold millions of albums for Columbia Records, with such classic songs as "Don't Fear the Reaper" and the No. 1 hit on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart "Burning For You". Both have contributed to songwriting and lead vocals on some of their greatest songs, such as Albert's vocals on "Cities On Flame With Rock And Roll", and Joe's on "Hot Rails To Hell".
Albert's infamous cowbell part in "Don't Fear The Reaper" was the basis of the classic Will Ferrell skit on "SNL", which also starred Christopher Walken. With "The Reaper" an all-time classic on YouTube and every other digital platform, with zillions of views, the Bouchard brothers are forever cemented in pop culture.
Now they are ready to embark on their next venture together with RockHeart Records. With multiple albums being readied for release, the Bouchards' manager, Jeff Keller, suggested the idea of forming a new imprint label that would be owned and operated by the Bouchards, with Keller's assistance. Keller sought a partnership with a label that could assist with the new imprint label and the distribution, manufacturing, and marketing.
"I had previously worked on a release with Deko Music and I was impressed with their team, experience, and the enthusiasm. Deko loved the idea of the imprint label and their team was excited to work with us," said Keller. This led to the birth of RockHeart Records and a new partnership with Deko Music.
Deko Entertainment president Bruce Pucciarello states: "Deko is thrilled to be partnering with RockHeart Records in releasing Joe and Albert's new music. Having been fortunate enough to preview this material I can promise fans (because I am a big one) that they won't be disappointed."
Joe Bouchard will release his brand new solo album, "Strange Legends", on July 31. The first single and lyric video, "Forget About Love", will drop on June 19, with the follow-up, "She's A Legend", dropping on July 17.
For the last two years, Joe has worked tirelessly on his sixth and best solo album. For the production of this album, he enlisted the help of Micky Curry, a drumming powerhouse, who has played with HALL & OATES, Alice Cooper and more. He is currently the drummer for Bryan Adams, playing on all of his big hits. He has over 40 gold records in his archives.
Several of the songs were written by Joe Bouchard and lyricist/sci-fi writer John Shirley. John Shirley is a longtime lyricist for BLUE ÖYSTER CULT, and has written dozens of sci-fi novels. He was the co-screenwriter for "The Crow", starring Brandon Lee. Other songs on the album were written by the late John Elwood Cook, a very prolific songwriter, who wrote many songs on Joe's earlier solo albums. Joe's album also includes a cover of Ray Davies and THE KINKS' "All Day And All Of The Night".
Joe says: "I really got to explore the production and mixing of this album like nothing I've ever done before. The guitar sounds are especially well produced. I play all the bass on this album, one thing that many of the BLUE ÖYSTER CULT fans miss on other projects, and wanted to hear more of. The vocals and guitars fit so well with Micky's drums. It's the best I've ever done."

What do you think?
Many Henbury residents will have visited the presentation today at Flora, and we'd love to know what you think of the proposals?
Parish Councillor Richard Slater had this to say....
"A very well presented consultation at Flora today, by Broadgrove on behalf of local builders Hall & Co.
The Broadgrove team provided lots of information relating to the development, which has many benefits, and opportunities to bolster the local community feel of Henbury. The team were open, and a breath of fresh air compared to other consultations held in the village regarding the Greenbelt.
Representatives from Henbury Parish Council attended, and asked many questions, and indeed made some strong points regarding access to the houses via Pepper Street, which will cause a number of issues, such as width of the road, icy conditions in winter, and a restricted vision to exit on to Chelford Road.
Overall, it's a good start, but clearly a cautious start."
An interesting part of the proposal is the FarmFolk concept.
The proposals include 3,034sqft (282sqm) of mixed-use commercial space within a new linear building positioned at the south of the site adjacent to Chelford Road. The existing Flora Gift Shop will be retained and consolidated within the new building which will also provide a food hall, stalls for local independent vendors and communal dining.
The other side of the commercial building will provide flexible private offices, bookable meeting rooms and co-working spaces. Hall and Co recently opened ProFolk at Bank Chambers in Stockport which provides collaborative and co-working office and event space. The applicant intends to take these principles and apply them to a rural setting under their new FarmFolk brand.
The existing access to Chelford Road will be retained and 45 spaces will be provided for the sole use of the commercial unit.
You can see much more info at http://www.broadgroveconsultation.co.uk/flora/
Please let us know what you think by emailing firstname.lastname@example.org. We'll try and publish a summary of your views.

College Students Hold March To “Destigmatize Menstruation,” Protest Removal Of Tampons From MEN'S Restroom
It is a fair argument to claim that students are now graduating from university dumber than when they first enrolled.
In just one example, students at Clemson University held a march last week to protest the removal of feminine hygiene products from men’s restrooms.
At one point in time, students marched to protest the Vietnam War. But today’s students have bigger issues at hand, clearly. Because tampons in men’s restrooms is one of the most crucial civil rights issues of today.
Holding brightly colored signs reading “Destigmatize menstruation” and “Hello, it’s the 21st century,” several dozen students demonstrated to demand administrators reinstall the dispensers.
It is unclear how adding tampons in the men’s room would “destigmatize menstruation.”
"Take Back Pride" held the march, but the main student organizer of the event, Pan Tankersley declared, "Today, we are marching for the reinstatement of the menstrual products in the men’s restrooms in Cooper Library and throughout campus."
It is probably safe to assume that Pan may have been one of the few students who actually needed a tampon in the men's room.
Clemson College Republicans also previously condemned the dispensaries on social media.
“If you weren’t aware already, Clemson University has tampon/pad dispensers in the MEN’S restrooms located in Cooper Library. We truly live in a [clown] world,” the student group posted on X on Sept. 13.
Trevor Tiedeman, chairman of the conservative group, told WSPA: “Men are men. Women are women. Of course, men can not menstruate. Of course, we spoke out against that. Of course, these people think the opposite, and that’s why they’re out here protesting us.
He added" “We have simply stood up for biological reality. They reject what we believe, and so they want us to get removed from campus.”
The Instagram account representing the "Take Back Pride" march claimed that after College Republicans announced their criticism, they were subsequently vandalized with "hateful slurs” towards transgenders before the school removed "all traces of their existence."
According to the College Fix, Take Back Pride complained that the products were “unjustly” removed and wants them to be reinstalled, as well as for the College Republicans to be held accountable for their alleged role in this incident.
“Queer people on this campus are not just going to magically disappear,” student organizer Pan Tankersley told the College Fix.
He added, “So instead of working against us, like taking away menstrual products from the men’s bathrooms, making people feel unwelcomed, there should be support for the community that is already fighting to feel safe here. If anything, the university needs to step up and needs to protect its students.”
It is unclear how tampons would protect students. And it is also unclear how many products, if any, were actually dispensed in the men's bathrooms.
But first of all, even if a woman decides to use the men’s room and needs a tampon, they probably wouldn't because of the vulnerable position that would put them in. Also, maybe there is a reason or connection as to why we only see stories of trans “women” using the women's room and never the other way around.
Fortunately, it was not too big of a turnout in support of mental delusion.
But this story still exists because, at one point in time, this protest would have shocked the nation. But now, no one is surprised when these sorts of things go on.
We must subsequently discourage this level of insanity because that is exactly what it is - insanity.
As Mark Twain once said, “Don’t let your boy’s schooling interfere with his education.”
I am just going to take a wild guess here: but maybe, just maybe, the reason they removed the dispensaries is because no one was using it. But that is just a guess.
When you have no value system to live by, it is very easy to be indoctrinated. But hopefully these students will one day unlearn what they learned at university.


The Office of State Attorney Glenn Hess announces that on January 8, 2019, a six-member Bay County jury found Todd Sparaga guilty as charged of eleven counts of Capital Sexual Battery on a Child Under 12 Years of Age, five counts of Lewd and Lascivious Molestation, and one count of Lewd and Lascivious Battery.
Evidence presented at trial proved that between March of 2013 and January of 2018, Sparaga sexually molested two relatives on multiple occasions while at the family home. One victim approached her school counselor on or around January 23, 2018, which prompted the investigation into the sexual abuse allegations. Investigator Chris Williams with the Bay County Sheriff’s Office interviewed Sparaga after meeting with both victims. Sparaga confessed to sexually abusing the victims after being read his Miranda rights.
The jury deliberated for fifteen minutes before returning a verdict of guilty as charged on all counts. Sparaga faces up to 16 consecutive life sentences plus 15 years in the Department of Corrections. Circuit Judge Brantley Clark, Jr., will sentence Sparaga on January 25, 2019. Assistant State Attorneys Jennifer Hawkins and Cord Grimes prosecuted the case with the help of the Bay County Sheriff’s Office, the Gulf Coast Children’s Advocacy Center, and the victims.
For additional information, contact Chief Assistant State Attorney Larry Basford.

Who are the big favorites for Kiev? In the next couple of weeks we will highlight some interesting participants, based on the odds they have been given by the bookmakers. This week we are providing a shortlist of countries that lead the board in the second semi final. Today’s report is about France.
French singer Alma was born in French but spent much of her time in other countries. A college graduate, Alma eventually moved to Paris, France to pursue music. She has released two past singles, one of which is expected to be on her upcoming album, Ma peau aime. She is signed to Warner Music France, and will represent her county at the 2017 Eurovision Song Contest with the song “Requiem”.
“Requiem” is a slightly divisive pop song. Sassy percussion and light strings are main components of the song, and Alma’s pleasant voice adds a lot. The French language is beautiful, but after a leaked video of a performance of the song before September 1, the song’s chorus was changed to English.
The song tells the tale of a couple in love, and because “nothing ever dies” they won’t “need (a) requiem). The classy video astonishing visuals as well as a beautiful, French setting.
Explaining the odds
France, a Big 5 nation, will directly qualify to the final. Alma is expected to place in 10th place by the bookmakers. Hopefully she can keep the high result of France alive from last year, as Amir’s “J’ai Cherche” placed 6th overall.

As our economy slowly rebounds from the recession and both federal and state budgets are being cut, it’s time to look for ways to encourage economic growth that don’t depend on a budget line item.
We would all agree that an efficient civil legal system is essential for a thriving economy. An expensive and inefficient civil legal system means higher prices, lower wages, decreased returns on investments in capital and land, restricted access to health care and less innovation.
Lawsuit abuse reform is an economic development tool that has no budgetary impact on the state. Furthermore, states that have already implemented reform measures are more attractive to business — and the jobs they bring — by providing a fairer, more predictable legal environment.
A 2010 Institute for Legal Reform study places Pennsylvania 34th in the overall ranking of state liability systems, punitive damages and juries’ fairness. Some of our neighboring states, which compete with us for business, rank considerably better — Delaware ranks No. 1 and Virginia is No. 6.
The focus of our first major reform effort will be reform of the joint and several liability rule. This rule holds that every defendant found liable in a personal injury lawsuit can be responsible for 100 percent of the damages awarded to a plaintiff, regardless of the actual percentage of liability assessed against the defendant.
In the current environment, plaintiff’s attorneys will look for defendants with “deep pockets” who can be compelled to pay the entire judgment or settle out of court even if they have marginal responsibility for the injury or loss.
Joint and several liability reform, also known in Pennsylvania as the “Fair Share Act,” reforms an outdated law that more than 40 other states, including Ohio, Maryland and Delaware, have already recognized as damaging to economic development and working families.
Lawsuit abuse reform was passed in Mississippi in 2004, and the following year the state saw more than $2 billion in new business investment from companies such as Textron and Kingsford Charcoal.
Although joint and several liability reform will be the first major focus, more broad-based reforms will be necessary.
We have already started to see some progress in the current effort in Pennsylvania with the state House passage of House Bill 495 — the ‘apology’ or ‘benevolent gesture’ legislation. The bill will now move to the Senate for consideration.
This bill allows health care providers to speak with patients and family following an adverse event without fear of litigation based solely on that conversation. It does not affect the patient’s right to sue. The legislation is based on the idea that medical malpractice lawsuits are sometimes filed due to anger and frustration resulting from lack of communication among health care professionals, patients and families after something goes wrong.
At the University of Michigan Health System, an early adopter of this reform, existing claims and lawsuits dropped from 262 in 2001 to 83 in 2007. Costs for legal defense and claims have been cut by 66 percent and the time spent resolving cases has been cut in half.
The Greater Pittsburgh Chamber of Commerce has been working with a wide-ranging coalition of organizations — from medical societies to insurance groups and the business community — to develop a broad package of reforms.
We are hopeful that the General Assembly and Gov. Corbett — who highlighted “legal reform” as a top priority of his new administration — will support these bills and help improve our state’s competitiveness for business investment and job creation.

Imagine how this news would have gone over if Georgia had won the SECCG.

Secession over scheduling?
It’s hard to decide how much of this article to take seriously, especially when it’s coupled with this piece, but given the suggestion made in the conclusion of the latter (“It wouldn’t hurt one bit for LSU to do a little saber-rattling to get the SEC’s attention, to give greater voice to its concerns.”), I’m sort of intrigued by something suggested in the former. Namely, it sounds like LSU is prepared to take up the banner again of what it perceives as unfair conference scheduling at next year’s SEC meetings.
LSU lobbied at the SEC Spring Meeting in May to eliminate permanent opponents but was soundly defeated. The school will push again at the next meeting in May. Failing that, LSU Athletic Director Joe Alleva proposes that the SEC adopt the Pac-12 model, which allows those schools that want permanent opponents to have them and those that do not to rotate.
That, of course, would let LSU out of its yearly meeting with Florida. Too bad for most SEC fans who see that game as one of the conference’s best offerings year-in and year-out. (And CBS, for that matter.)
What I really like is the sneering dismissal of conference rivalries.
The biggest continuing flaw in SEC football scheduling is the concept of permanent, opposite-division opponents. Permanent opponents are the SEC’s hide-bound attempt to cling to traditional rivalries that would otherwise be disrupted by East and West divisions, primarily Alabama/Tennessee and Auburn/Georgia.
One can argue those are rivalries worth preserving…
Gee, thanks for that.
It’s all about having the path greased to the BCS now. Maybe they ought to let LSU pick it’s cross-division opponents each year. And while they’re at it, they could wait a month into the season to choose them, so Alleva could really get a handle on which schools will pose the least challenging threat to the Tigers’ chances.
I can’t see Alleva actually threatening to leave the conference – the money’s too good and if he’s upset about Alabama’s pull, just wait ’til he gets a load of Texas’ power in the Big 12 – but the scheduling whining will be interesting to follow, especially since Georgia won’t be a target on that front in 2013.

Interesting suggestion buried in this story about the record number of early enrollees Georgia expects to have in this next recruiting class:
Richt, who had only two early enrollees in 2011 and three last year, really pressed the issue with this year’s class to make up for roster deficiencies. ”If there was any year we pushed it, it was this year,” Richt said. “We’re trying to get to 10. So that was an important thing for this year’s class. But most of the time we might bring it up, ‘If you’re the kind of guy that would be excited about getting a head star, great. If not, it’s not that big a deal.’”
It was a big deal for UGA this year after whiffing on numerous targets on last year’s signing day. To make up for it, the Bulldogs targeted a lot of recruits that had strong enough academics to be able to enroll early. “They would’ve been behind if they didn’t,” Scout.com’s Chad Simmons said. “After (the small class) last year, they were really behind in numbers. It was really a good job by Georgia to go out and identify guys that had the option to graduate early … to help them catch up with (the 85-man roster limit).”
It’s reasonable to expect that early enrollees have drive and focus in spades. After all, they’ve prepared to leave high school ahead of schedule. What does that mean for a program when you add better academics to the mix? I’d be curious to know if early enrollees have fewer discipline problems as a group and get on the field faster than do their mates who enroll at the usual point (as to the latter, the difference between the two is only one spring practice). I’m sure we’d all like to think that’s the case, but these are still 17- and 18-year old kids we’re talking about here.
One thing seems certain – with about half of Richt’s largest signing class electing to enroll early, we’ll have an interesting sample size by which to judge this.

If motivation is a big key to a bowl game (and I think it is), how much will it matter how Georgia’s last game finished? That’s the question Christian Robinson tries to answer for the AJ-C:
“We all realize we came up a little short and that’s really disappointing,” the senior inside linebacker said of the SEC Championship game loss. “It was kind of sad around here for a little bit, but getting back out there and practicing we realize that we have a lot to show. We can still go down as one of the best teams in Georgia history. Just because you’re not playing for the national championship doesn’t mean you can’t be a special team. We have those types of players here and that type of leadership that hopefully we’ll show up and not give the (bowl) game away like we did last year.”
Robinson acknowledged the gap the Bulldogs have to fill between their last game and the next could derail some teams. However, he was confident the leaders on this year’s edition of the Bulldogs will make sure they give their best effort in Orlando.
He goes on to say there will be a clear indicator of whether the Dawgs decide to show up or not.
Just see how many big plays the Bulldogs give up.
“That’s usually what shows up when you have a long break — hustle plays,” he said. “Plays you normally didn’t have. You might have people loafing a little bit more, but coaches have done a great job conditioning us and honing in on those things more than X’s and O’s, because those are what win (games), especially with the type of talent we have. If we show up and do what we’re supposed to do and play physically, (we’ll) make plays.”
In case you’re wondering, Nebraska is ninth nationally in plays from scrimmage of 20+ yards.

Genetic risk test for colorectal cancer (AnteCRC with DNA upload)
What does AnteCRC test include?
- Analyzes of 91 genetic variants associated with colorectal cancer;
- Individual polygenic risk score for colorectal cancer;
- The individual risk of colorectal cancer compared to the rest of the population;
- Likelihood to get colorectal cancer in 10 years and risk assessment compared to a person with average genetic risk;
- Interpretation of the test results with clinical recommendations;
Who can benefit from AnteCRC?
- Men and women between the ages of 40-75.
The AnteCRC test is not recommended:
- If you have a high-risk mutation in a single gene predisposed to colorectal cancer (e.g. APC, KRAS, TP53, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2, STK11, MUTYH).
How AnteCRC test works?
AnteCRC Test Limitations
- AnteCRC test is not used to diagnose colorectal cancer.
- An elevated risk estimated by the AnteCRC test does not mean that you will develop colorectal cancer during your lifetime. Also, a moderate or lower risk does not mean that the probability of developing the diseases is zero.
- AnteCRC test does not assess the risk of your family and relatives, i.e. polygenic risk score-based disease risks may not be transmitted directly from parents to children.
- AnteCRC test does not analyze rare pathogenic mutations in genes that significantly increase the risk of colorectal cancer, such as APC, KRAS, TP53, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2, STK11, MUTYH and others.
- The AnteCRC test is based on the most up-to-date scientific data, which may, however, be supplemented and changed in the future as additional information becomes available. The field of genetics is constantly evolving, which may lead to changes in risk assessments over time, as well as changes in test selection recommendations and clinical recommendations based on test results.
- Different polygenic risk scores predicting risks of the same trait may give different estimates of the individual’s risks due to differences in the genetic variants included in the models and their weights.
- The results of this test should be applied in context with other relevant clinical data. In addition to the possible genetic predisposition, other risk factors also influence the risk of colorectal cancer.

Energy regulator Ofgem has confirmed that network companies can apply for additional allowances to cover extra costs in their price controls, which had not been forecast when they were agreed.
This decision follows Ofgem's consultation on the requests in August.
But Ofgem rejected the majority of National Grid's request to recover £123 million on maintaining gas compressors. As set out in the consultation, National Grid can only recover £500,000 spending on the compressors from customers.
The consultation proposed to refuse National Grid's request to recover around £140m from consumers for replacing a gas pipeline across the Humber Estuary, challenging the company to provide better evidence of why this would be in consumers' interests.
The company has since submitted new information, including evidence suggesting that the resilience of the energy system could be impacted if the pipeline isn't replaced. Ofgem has now decided to allow National Grid to recover the efficient costs of replacing the pipeline. The company will only be allowed to recover £111 million from consumers as Ofgem considers that the project can be delivered more efficiently.
A spokesperson for National Grid said: "We welcome Ofgem's decision on this important project, which will carry up to 20% of the country's gas, and we will continue to focus on delivering it safely and reliably at the lowest cost to bill payer."
Ofgem has confirmed that National Grid, Wales and West Utilities and Cadent can recover an additional £96m for improving resilience to physical and cyber security threats, managing street works, and compensating landowners for disruption caused by gas pipelines.
