Artist of the Week – Lee Seung Gi
Name: Lee Seung Gi
Date of Birth: January 13, 1987
Physique: 182 cm ; 70 kg
Education: Sang Kye High School
Debut: THe Dream of the Moth (June 1, 2004)
Lee Seung Gi made his debut as a 17-year-old back in 2004, when he was still a high school student. Lee was an active student, serving as the student president in his second year at Sang Kye High School, and first came into contact with music as he joined the school band as the leading vocalist. Due to his school band, the young Lee was scouted by Lee Sun Hee, a former singer in the late 1980s and 90s, and received two hard years of training.
Being tall and handsome, Lee’s voice color is contrary to his soft looks. His low and powerful voice appeals to many pop music lovers. His debut single, "You’re My Woman", was a very popular ballad and received much love from older women, creating a "liking older women syndrome" in Korea, where he became the representation of younger guys that were loved by older girls. Deservedly, Lee won the Best New Artist award at the 2004 MBC Music Awards. Later in 2004, Lee released a digital single, "Ko Hae".
Two years later, Lee pushed out his second album, "Crazy for You". Fans were delighted with the quality of the music, which ranged from heartbreaking ballads to more light-hearted tracks. Notable hits include "Words That Are Hard to Say", which shows off the singer’s vocal range, and the title track "Crazy for You", an up-tempo pop rock song that will get fans singing along. In between albums, Lee also took time out to participate in the popular MBC sitcom "Nonstop 5" (2004) and also showed off his acting skills in the KBS drama, Seven Princesses (2006).
Later in 2006, Lee came out with a remake album titled "When A Man Loves A Woman", a special album that consists of covers of songs by female artistes. Lee managed to add his personal touch to each song, fully delivering the emotions and soul as captured by the original pieces. He was once again the deserving winner of the Best Ballad Award at the 2006 Mnet KM Music Festival.
Hot on the heels of that was his third album, "Story of Separation", pushed out in mid-2007. With help from well-known composer Jo Yeong Soo, the ten tracks in the album showed off Lee’s vocals beautifully. Title track "White Lie" is a mellow ballad featuring special piano accompaniment by Jo, while Kang Eun Kyeong penned the lyrics to "Why… Are You Leaving?", which is more of a mid-tempo ballad. Later in 2007, Lee came up with a repackage version of the album. And again, Lee was an award winner, nabbing the 2007 Mnet KM Music Festival best male singer prize.
This year’s offering from Lee is part 2 of the remake album, "When A Man Loves A Woman", this time consisting of covers of songs sung by male artistes. Notable gems include "I’ll Give You All", previously a hit song by singer-songwriter Cho Gyu Man, and Park Hyo Shin’s "Dong Kyung" (track 5). The album bears Lee’s signature vocals and is a work of art that is bound to delight fans and neutrals like.

The NPD Group is set to release its U.S. retail sales data this Thursday, but in a world where digital is becoming more prevalent, NPD's numbers are quickly becoming far less relevant, argues EA, according to notes from a management meeting with Sterne Agee analyst Arvind Bhatia.
EA has been talking about the growth of its digital business for some time now, and according to Bhatia, the publisher is extremely bullish on its continued growth with Playfish leveraging core EA brands, and the expansion of mobile and DLC content. " Overall, we think the digital growth aspect of the EA story is likely to get even stronger and to impress investors in the coming years," said Bhatia.
On a global industry basis, EA believes the games revenue mix still favors packaged software but digital is moving fast. It's estimated that digital revenues now account for 40 percent of the market. EA CEO John Riccitiello previously told IndustryGamers that digital would overtake retail this year.

Mexico City is set at the height of 2200 meters and it is surrounded by huge mountain ranges. There is too much history attached to this place. To begin with, there was the old Aztec metropolis. Then on the ruins of that town settles the Spanish people. Now there are a couple of Baroque churches and other historical monuments. But the major attractions of the city is based in the city center. It is a UNESCO world heritage site as well. It contains a total of 1400 buildings between 16th to 19th centuries.
You should begin your Mexico City tour with Zocalo which was made in 1813. It is a large square and it is 240 meters in all directions. It was built in the Aztec city of Tenochtitlán and it has the National Palace, the Metropolitan Cathedral and the Templo Mayor besides the Aztec relics. In the colonial period, it was used for various activities like bullfighting arena and market. This is the perfect place to start exploring the Mexico City.
The National Museum of Anthropology should be your next stop. In this museum, you will get to millions of amazing items and relics. This was built in 1964 and it is a striking example of contemporary art. Old Indian art, like Central Patio, is located inside the building, roofed and sheltered. Other archaeological finds from Mexico are also on display here. The other big monument here would clearly be National Museum of Anthropology which was founded by Lucas Alaman in 1831. This place is called Chapultepec Park.
Templo Mayor is a relic from the Aztec times which was discovered as late as 1978. It is more than 3 meters in diameter and is around 8 tons in weight. More excavations have showed severed heads and winged warriors. There are multicolored reliefs and some original paintwork also remains in this place. Templo Mayor is something you cannot miss.

The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Charles E. Schumer
Speaker of the House Majority Leader
U.S. House of Representatives U.S. Senate
Washington, DC 20515 Washington, DC 20510
Dear Speaker Pelosi and Leader Schumer:
As organizations representing hospitals and health systems from across the country, we are writing to ask you to remove the reductions to the Medicaid disproportionate share hospital (DSH) program and uncompensated care pools from H.R. 5376, the Build Back Better (BBB) Act. While we appreciate the goal of increasing coverage to residents in states that did not expand their Medicaid programs through the Affordable Care Act (ACA), it should not come at the expense of vital funding to facilities located in those parts of the country, especially at a time when hospitals are still providing care due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the deadly Delta variant.
The Medicaid DSH program assists hospitals serving high numbers of Medicaid and uninsured patients. They receive these payments in order to account for Medicaid underpayment and uncompensated care, and this support allows hospitals to provide critical community services, such as trauma and burn care, high-risk neonatal care and disaster preparedness resources. Hospitals have spent the last 20 months serving on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic, delivering the lifesaving treatments to those in distress, and continuing to serve as key partners in the distribution of the vaccine. Our hospitals and health systems provided inpatient care to more than 3 million COVID-19 patients nationwide since August 2020.
The financial stress to hospitals, including those whose resources were strained recently from treating the Delta variant, will not improve in the near term. In a report released by the American Hospital Association in September 2021, Kaufman Hall projected that hospitals nationwide will lose an estimated $54 billion in net income over the course of this year, even after taking into account the funding Congress provided last year and earlier this year.
The Medicaid DSH reductions in the BBB would be an additional hardship for hospitals located in non-expansion states, and these cuts are directed to continue beyond the length of the coverage provisions, which currently sunset in 2025. The cuts could be as much as $7.8 billion in federal funding over 10 years, and this reduction in funding will make it difficult for hospitals in those states to continue to serve their patients and their communities. In addition, if a state that currently has expanded its Medicaid program chooses to discontinue expansion, its federal DSH allotment also would be reduced. 2
Congress has long understood the importance of the Medicaid DSH payments and has repeatedly delayed the start of the ACA-mandated cuts as the coverage rates envisioned under the law have not been fully realized. These payments remain important for all hospitals and the patients they serve – and they remain especially important in those states that did not expand their Medicaid programs.
We urge you to protect the Medicaid DSH program from cuts given the crucial need for this program.

A year back, a massive outrage erupted in UP after 60 children died in BRD Medical College, Gorakhpur. The issue became a national talking point within no time. It was found that death occurred due to interrupted oxygen supply in the hospital. Kafeel Khan who was the nodal officer of acute encephalitis syndrome (AES) in the medical college was accused of negligence.
This man Kafeel Khan was found to have diverted the oxygen cylinders meant for the hospital to his private clinic which resulted in deficient in oxygen supply leading to the death of over 60 children. He was suspended and then arrested by the Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force. He was serving the jail term for many months, after which he was granted bail by Allahabad High Court on April 25th. While granting bail to Khan, the court laid down several conditions including that the applicant shall not tamper with the records or documents and that he will not threaten or influence any witnesses in the case (One India).
But now, this man’s brother Kasif Jamal has been shot at by 2 unknown miscreants in Durgabadi. He was taken to hospital where he is undergoing treatment. According to many political analysts, his brother was involved in land mafia in Uttar Pradesh which is said to be one of the reasons for his attack. It is said that Kasif was attacked earlier too in 2014, when some miscreants had fired him at his home. This information was published in Jagaran in 2014 even before PM Modi became PM. (https://www.jagran.com/uttar-pradesh/gorakhpur-city-11278098.html)
Dr Kafeel Khan who stolen oxygen cylinders from BRD Medical College when several children died due to lack of oxygen on 11 Aug in Gorakhpur,his Mafia brother Kasif Jamal shot by two unidentified bike-borne miscreants.
— Prashant P. Umrao (@ippatel) June 10, 2018
How do I know? All it took was a quick read of Gorakhpur newspapers and a phone call to the local police station! https://t.co/RK14AQTIzQ
The Qasif Jameel mentioned in this old report is Kafeel's brother, I was told. He also has several cases of fraud against him
— Swati Goel Sharma (@swati_gs) June 11, 2018
But even before the police conclude the investigation, some pseudo-liberals have taken the opportunity to blame Yogi government for the incident saying it is a sinister plot by the Chief Minister. But what these people forgot to mention is that Kasif has many criminal and fraud cases against him.
So, a through investigation will reveal the true colours of these people who hide behind the minority tag.

Day four of Nick’s Flixmas continues this little Santa kick I’m on with another Rankin/Bass special, The Year Without a Santa Claus. This film should be notable for a few reasons. First off, it’s the only one that centers on Mrs. Claus (thus becoming one of the few films in their line-up with a female narrator), Santa Claus is kind of a jerk in this, and it once again stars Bugermeister Meisterburger as his puppet is reused for Heat Miser.
Oh yeah! And it’s the only one that features Mother Nature, in all her frightening glory. But while The Year Without a Santa Claus is intriguing visually, it never quite took off like the others. It’s not quite as forgotten as Pinocchio’s Christmas or that one with the Leprechauns, but it’s still sadly forgettable.
[Nick’s Flixmas is a 25 day celebration of films Nick watches every Christmas! Nick will do some analysis, review, and just generally walk down memory lane. Hopefully you’ll enjoy the ride. Merry Flixmas!]
The Year Without a Santa Claus arguably has the best premise of all the Rankin/Bass specials. Wait, did I ever explain what the Rankin/Bass specials were? Sorry! Rankin/Bass productions was founded by Arthur Rankin and Jules Bass and is known for their holiday specials. It doesn’t limit them to Christmas either. There’s an Easter one, and then there’s another one. But that’s pretty much it. They’re known for their amazing stop motion animation, and their puppet design. They were essentially Laika (the team behind ParaNorman) before it was cool. The art’s become so timeless, it’s shown every year here in America.
As mentioned in the intro, Without a Claus features a jerk Santa Claus as he finds himself at a loss of faith and decides to take a holiday rather than deliver gifts to children. Finding her husband’s distraught nature unappealing, Mrs. Claus takes it upon herself to find Christmas spirit (and the belief in Santa Claus) on Earth. The problem here is the idea of Mrs. Claus going on a journey of discovery is far more interesting than what we’re actually given. We’re given two unfunny (even as a child I found them grating) comic reliefs, a small town full of greedy jerks who still get what they want anyway, and a jerk Santa that just sort of flops around the entire special. At least Mother Nature is appropriately strong.
The worst part of all of this? The conclusion. Instead of Santa realizing how much of a jerk he is thanks to the efforts of Mrs. Claus, he succumbs to the will of a greedy little girl who sings about how said she is. As the children of the world grow and learn Santa’s kindness shouldn’t be taken for granted, and willingly give up their happiness for another’s, one lone selfish girl thwarts the feelings of the entire world. Merry Christmas, I guess.
Time to be more positive. There’s still plenty of days left for that as I have two more Rankin/Bass specials lined up! Tomorrow? The Little Drummer Boy, my mother’s favorite!

The #1 Reasons Marketing Campaigns Fail (by Andre’ Savoie)
There are a lot of excuses people give as to why their marketing isn’t working. However, it really comes down to one thing.
Read this article from our CEO Andre’ Savoie as he shares the #1 reasons jewelry marketing campaigns fail:


The $200 Asus laptop won't be making its appearance this week after all. While pre-order on AllAsus.com and are estimated to ship in early October. They range in price from $259 to $399; the entry-level $199 model won't be available in the U.S.) Further details--including when we'll get a review unit and how to pronounce Eee (one long E or three short Es?)--won't be known until Asus and its new agency hold a sit-down later this week. But with a new, U.S.-based agency in tow, it's a safe bet you'll be seeing the Asus name on more products than just motherboards and video cards in the coming months.were pointing to a late September release of the Asus Eee PC, it now looks like we'll have to wait a couple more weeks for the 2-pound, 7-inch, Linux-based laptop. I spoke with my contact at Asus' new PR agency earlier today, and he confirmed that the Eee PC will go on sale sometime in October. (Three models are available for
While we wait, check out these photos that AnandTech snapped last week at IDF. The black model (it's also available in white) looks like a miniature ThinkPad, although it certainly looks like there's room for a larger display given the fat bezel that surrounds the screen. Not surprisingly, AnandTech found the keyboard to be cramped, and it felt like the keys had a little too much bounce to them.
More as I know it.

By Elizabeth Fabri
FAMED for its red earth and desert landscapes, the Northern Territory is arguably Australia’s most ‘under-explored’ mining region with only a handful of major mines operating across the 1,346,200sqkm expanse. But with government backing and major projects in the pipeline, things are looking up for the country’s top end.
The Northern Territory, also known as the ‘Red Centre’, contains a wealth of minerals, including Australia’s largest deposits of uranium, zinc-lead, bauxite, gold, phosphate and manganese.
In 2015/16 the territory produced $3.05 billion worth of minerals, of which gold accounted for 29 per cent and manganese 27 per cent of the total value.
Employment was on the rise, with 6528 people directly engaged in the NT’s mining sector in November 2016; a 19 per cent increase from the 5508 people employed in 2015.
But, despite healthy figures, the territory has taken a hit from lower commodity prices forcing a string of mines into care and maintenance, and poor investor sentiment.
“Since 2012, the Territory’s mining sector has been impacted by the same factors that have led to a global downturn in the industry, particularly lower commodity prices and a lack of investor confidence in the sector,” Northern Territory Primary Industry and Resources minister Kenneth Vowles said.
“This led to the closure of our iron ore mines in 2014, and a significant reduction in exploration activity for most commodities.”
However, Mr Vowels said the Territory was still faring better than most jurisdictions, with its five largest mines all continuing to operate and values of mineral production across the Territory remaining near record levels.
“Mining employment and royalty figures have been increasing over the past year [and] with commodity prices now recovering, we see a bright future ahead for the industry,” he said.
“The past year has seen a strengthening of our gold and base metals sector, a boom in exploration for lithium, and a pipeline of new projects progressing towards production.
“In 2015-16, the mining sector accounted for 12.8 per cent of the Territory’s Gross State Product (GSP), compared to 6.8 per cent of the national economy.
“Following completion of the Ichthys LNG construction project and the commencement of production, it is likely that mining will again become the single largest industry in the Territory.”
While not large in quantity, Northern Territory’s major mines are making up for their lack of numbers in performance.
“Most of the Territory’s mining operations are performing well,” Mr Vowles said.
“For example, Newmont’s Tanami Operation is now one of Australia’s best performing gold mines, and is currently undergoing a $120 million expansion, with development of a second decline.”
Located 540km northwest of Alice Springs in the remote Tanami desert, the mine has been owned by Newmont Mining since 2012, and operational since 1983.
The current expansion included the construction of a second decline and building incremental capacity in the plant to increase profitable production, add three years of mine life, and serve as a platform for future expansion.
“The project is on budget and schedule to deliver additional production in mid-2017,” Newmont Mining stated in its September quarter report.
“The expansion is expected to maintain Tanami’s annual gold production of between 425,000 and 475,000 ounces per year at CAS of between $600 and $650 per ounce.”
South 32’s Groote Eylandt Mining Company (GEMCO) manganese mine was also a top performer, recently undergoing an expansion and gaining access to new leases that have the potential to substantially increase mine life.
The deposit itself accounted for 99 per cent of past manganese ore production and 90 per cent of identified manganese ore resources in the Territory, and was one of the largest and lowest-cost manganese ore producers in the world.
Glencore’s McArthur River zinc mine was also on the world-map as one of its largest providers of zinc in bulk concentrate form, with an estimated mine life out to 2038, and Rio Tinto’s Gove bauxite mine and Kirkland Lake Gold’s Cosmo project were also going strong.

The Northern Territory still has a long way to go to lose its ‘under-explored’ tagline.
In CommSec’s October State of the States report it stated the Northern Territory was “losing momentum” in terms of exploration, stating when key resource projects were completed, activity levels would slow unless a lift in investment took place.
In August 2016, the Northern Territory Division of the Minerals Council of Australia Agenda for Growth document stated more than $ 95.7m was spent on Northern Territory exploration in 2014-15 but “more investment was needed to restore exploration to peak levels”.
Mr Vowels said there were a number of issues facing the sector, primarily the ongoing uncertainty in global markets and commodity prices, given the reliance of commodity prices on growth in the Chinese economy.
He said the region also faced difficulties in attracting sufficient investment from the market to fund exploration, project feasibility and construction, a lack of transport infrastructure in some areas that impacted project economics, and breaking down international perceptions of Australia as a high-cost jurisdiction.
“The Territory is certainly underexplored, in comparison with the rest of Australia and many parts of the world,” he said.
“But we see this as a competitive advantage for the Territory, as this means there are tremendous opportunities for further mineral discoveries.
“We have already seen an increase in the Territory’s share of Australian exploration expenditure in recent years, but we will keep working to encourage industry to invest their exploration dollars here in the NT.”
Mr Vowels said the main barriers for exploration and investment included a lack of infrastructure in remote areas; lack of outcropping (visible at surface) geology and limited historical exploration in many parts of the Territory, making greenfields exploration inherently high-risk; and difficulties for small to mid-size exploration companies to raise funds from the market for greenfields exploration.
“The Territory Government is working to address some of these challenges through programs such as the CORE initiative,” he said.
Initiatives for change
The Territory Government’s $23.8m Creating Opportunities for Resource Exploration (CORE) initiative was the most notable initiatives for growth, designed to attract and support investment into the exploration sector, and maximise opportunities.
The four year program was launched in 2014, and has been working towards providing new geoscience datasets to the exploration industry that identify new areas of potential and lower the cost and risk of exploration; supporting and rewarding innovation by industry in greenfields areas through collaborative industry grants for drilling and geophysics; and assisting industry to attract investment from international markets.
“Under the initiative, the NT Geological Survey has substantially upgraded the coverage of the Territory with modern geophysical data, and undertaken geological studies, 3D modelling and studies of prospectivity to give explorers a much improved understanding of the Territory’s geology and resource potential,” Mr Vowels said.
“CORE has developed a strategic partnership with the CSIRO Minerals Resources Division, with two CSIRO post-doctoral researchers now embedded in the NT Geological Survey to apply CSIRO technology to better understand the Territory’s mineral potential.”
He said there has also been a focus on improving accessibility of data and information for the global exploration industry with Geoscience NT (NTGS) making every industry report on exploration since 1901 (23,000 reports) accessible online.
In the most recent Fraser Institute global survey of mining companies, the Territory was ranked fourth in the world for the quality and accessibility of its geological data.
Moving forward, Mr Vowels said the outcomes from CORE were set to increase further.
“Our geological team have worked with Geoscience Australia to design a major new program of geoscience activities in the coming three years to investigate the resource potential of the Barkly region, as a partnership between the Commonwealth’s $100 million Exploring for the Future initiative and the Territory’s CORE initiative,” he said.
“This is likely to be the most intensive program of new geoscience for exploration ever undertake in the Territory.”

Despite an investment shortfall, the Northern Territory future looked promising with a number of key mining project moving towards production in the next three to five years.
“Emmerson Resources is moving to redevelop the Edna Beryl gold resource near Tennant Creek and Australian Abrasive Minerals’ garnet sands project is moving into commissioning,” The NT Department of Mines and Energy chief executive Ron Kelly said.
“A number of other projects are proceeding through the environmental impact assessment process, including TNG’s Mount Peake vanadium-titanium-iron project, Arafura’s Nolans rare earths and phosphate project and Tellus’s Chandler salt and storage project.
“Existing gold operations also continue to perform well with Newmont’s Callie mine undergoing an expansion and Newmarket’s Cosmo project identifying new ore zones.”
Feasibility studies were also underway at Verdant Minerals’ Ammaroo phosphate project east of Barrow Creek, and KGL Resources’ Jervois copper project was also in the pipeline.
“The Territory’s resources industry has a bright future,” Mr Vowels said.
“There are real opportunities for the Territory to substantially grow and diversify its mining sector, into new commodities such as copper, vanadium, lithium, phosphate and rare earths, as well as strengthening our existing industries in commodities such as gold and zinc.
“Our diverse mix of commodities located so close to the rapidly growing Asian markets suggests that, notwithstanding the inevitable fluctuations of commodity prices, the Territory’s mining sector should continue to grow and expand its role in our economy.
“The Territory Government will continue to work with industry to address impediments to exploration and development, and provide a regulatory framework that gives certainty to industry whilst ensuring that the community has confidence in the environmentally and socially sustainable growth of the sector.”

Thousands of people have been watching the YouTube videos of Italian singer Andrea Faustini performing at X Factor UK.
The 20-year-old from Rome conquered the hearts of the four judges when he performed Who's Lovin You by the Jackson 5.
In another exhibition, the talented singer moved judges Cheryl Cole and Mel B to tears with his rendition of Whitney Houston's I Didn't Know My Own Strength.
Faustini – described as "fantastic" by English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran - explained that he chose the song because he related to the lyrics.
"These lyrics are about me. I didn't know my own strength. I didn't know I could be powerful on the stage," he said.
The video of the performance has been viewed by more than 1.5 million people in three weeks.
Faustini, who is being mentored by Mel B, is one of the favourites to win this year's competition.
Who was Faustini, before becoming an X Factor star?
Faustini, who has been singing since he was three, first appeared on Italian TV in 2008, when he took part in entertainment show Ti lascio una canzone, I leave a song to you.
He then released his first single: Per Me e Per Te, For me and For You, produced by record company Cantieri Sonori.
According to people close to him, the young singer loves pugs so much that he went to the X Factor casting wearing a t-shirt with the image of a pug on it.
In an interview with the Italian press, the singer defined himself as the male version of Bridget Jones.
"I am clumsy, gauche and I always stumble," he said. "I am the male Italian version of Bridget Jones".
Speaking to Italian newspaper Il Corriere della Sera, Faustini said he tried to participate in the Italian version of X Factor, but was rejected three times.
"Maybe I was not ready," he said and then added he has always been "a fan of the English version."

The hits just keep on coming for Kamala Harris.
Two more of her staffers have allegedly quit.
Vincent Evans, who was Harris’ deputy director of public engagement and intergovernmental affairs, left to take a new job on Capitol Hill.
Meanwhile, Peter Velz has also decided to call it quits.
Velz was Harris’ director of press operations.
The timing of both of their decisions to leave comes as claims of “bullying and mismanagement” intensify within her office.
— Daily Wire (@realDailyWire) January 5, 2022
Our friends at the Daily Wire have more on Vincent Evans’ decision to quit:
Vincent Evans, deputy director of public engagement and intergovernmental affairs, has quit to take on a new job on Capitol Hill, CNBC reported Wednesday. He left to join the Congressional Black Caucus, which is headed by Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-OH), which certainly appears to be less than a lateral move.
He is the latest top staffer to leave the veep’s office amid reports that Harris is a “bully” who levels “soul-destroying criticism” in a highly dysfunctional office. Last month, her spokeswoman, Symone Sanders, and her communications director Ashley Etienne, left Harris’ office.
Etienne’s exit announcement came on the heels of devastating USA Today/Suffolk University polling that showed Harris earning a dismal 28% approval rating, 10 points behind President Joe Biden’s, who sat at a not-so-pretty 38% approval. Biden is apparently not too happy about Harris’ numbers, with one report saying she’s not even considered to be Biden’s successor in the White House anymore, while another said the president is considering moving her to the Supreme Court so he can pick a new veep who might have a chance to win in 2024.
Evans confirmed his departure on Wednesday:
I am deeply honored to be named the Executive Director of the Congressional Black Caucus. As we write the next chapter of the CBC story, I am excited for the opportunity to lend my experience and passion for supporting the collective vision of this storied Caucus. Onward. https://t.co/JT40k4xgBy
— Vincent Evans (@VinceEvans) January 5, 2022
On the same day, Peter Velz announced his own departure:
Today is my last day at the White House, and it truly has been an honor. I will be forever grateful to Vice President Harris, the incredible Team @VP, and I'm so proud of our work this past year supporting this historic Administration.

SEVENTH aide since Harris's border trip announces he is leaving https://t.co/21t4UXK71R
— Benny (@bennyjohnson) January 6, 2022
According to Daily Mail, Evans is the seventh aide to leave her office since her disastrous trip to the southern border back in June:
Kamala Harris has now lost at least seven aides since her disastrous southern border trip on June 25 after her director of press operations Peter Velz confirmed Wednesday he is leaving his role with the White House.
Velz’s announcement comes in the midst of a staff exodus following reports the vice president is a ‘bully’ who facilitates a toxic work environment and other reports indicate tensions between the president’s staff and Harris’.
‘Today is my last day at the White House, and it truly has been an honor,’ Velz tweeted on Wednesday. ‘I will be forever grateful to Vice President Harris, the incredible Team @VP, and I’m so proud of our work this past year supporting this historic Administration.’
The optics on this are just plain bad for Harris.
The accusations of a poor work environment within her office have only persisted since her disastrous trip to the southern border, where Harris made a complete fool of herself.

— Drew Hernandez (@DrewHLive) June 25, 2021
This embarrassing moment came just after Harris was pressed on why she hadn’t visited the border by Lester Holt:
Cringe. Kamala Harris doesn't get it.
Holt: "Do you have any plans to visit the border?"
Harris: "We've been to the border. We've been the border."
Holt: "YOU haven't been to the border."

Claims began to come out immediately that Harris’ office was a toxic environment and that she was unprepared for meetings.

Yes, everyone gets a loan with a credit score of 580.
The borrower’s credibility is the primary criteria for loan application approval, but the actual credit score rating is not the only scale to judge it. Most of the private lenders consider the low credit score as the natural development that makes the borrower unable to repay. The credit score in a range of 600 and 700 is regarded as satisfactory, but the majority of British households have the credit score below 600. The average credit score of British people was found to be around 380. The credit score of 580 is good to have any type of secured or unsecured loan. The Govt. financial institutions and conventional banks have strict qualification criteria demanding the borrower to complete other formalities also while the borrowers like you having a credit score of 580 are welcome by the government registered online direct lenders.
How Your Credit Score is Calculated?
Your Credit Score is calculated using an algorithm by FICO Company. Certain items in your credit history, such as repayment history, credit card balances, and even credit inquiries make up your overall credit score rating.
What is thought-about a lousy credit score is usually outlined as something below 580 rating or score? A decent credit score is sometimes within the 680-720 vary.
Here the square measure of the credit score.
579 or under = Bad Credit Score
580-619 = Poor credit / Good for Unsecured loan.
620-679 = Fair credit
680-719 = Good credit
720 and higher = Excellent Credit Score

The ongoing 'intifada' in France has injured 2,500 police in 2006 and appears to have no let up. As a matter of fact the violence in France is escalating at a rapid rate.
This might have dropped below the radar, but Al Qaeda and its allies are literally battling the Crusaders every day in Europe. And so far, Europe isn't doing so well.
"We are in a state of civil war, orchestrated by radical Islamists," said Michel Thoomis, secretary general of the Action Police trade union. "This is not a question of urban violence any more. It is an intifada, with stones and firebombs."
The French Interior Ministry has acknowledged the Muslim uprising. The ministry said more than 2,500 police officers have been injured in 2006. This amounts to at least 14 officers each day. Courtesy of World Tribune
To me this truly does appear to be a clash of civilizations. One has to ponder on the any whys young Islamists are becoming are more radicalized each year. Remember, France is a non supporter and non participant in the war in Iraq. They are progressive liberals who practice appeasement and have an apologist attitude. France is a model for America's liberal party and Kerry koolaid drinkers.
It appears to me that \the Arab culture believe that the strong do what they will, and the weak do what they must until the shoe is on the other foot. Then, those who were weak but now are strong appear to come back to take what they want. Radicalization and vengeance intoxicates the young Islamists. Islamists feed on the vengeance to commit unthinkable crimes in their desire for religious purity and their Longing for earthly glory. The mass hysteria of Islamofacism creates its own logic and transforms young Islamists. Imagine how out of control the Islamists will be if America cuts and run from Iraq after the 2008 Presidential Election.
MEMRI had a good dissertation on the subject, 'The Tribal Arab Culture of Vengeance Transmuted their Defeats into a Fixated, Vengeful Mentality'
"This deep-rooted culture of tribal vengefulness in the [Arab] collective consciousness is a fundamental driving force. [This driving force] has transmuted this consciousness into a fixated, brooding, vengeful mentality, instead of transforming [that kind of culture] into a [source of] far-sighted thought and self-criticism, as a grasp for a spring board for a consciousness of the vital necessity to emulate the enemy, that is becoming like him in modern knowledge, thought and politics, so as to reshape the traditional personality and adapt it to the requirements of the time, as did Japan in the aftermath of its unprecedented defeat in the history of mankind in 1945."
"The culture of tribal vengeance haunts… not only in our relations with the other but also our relations with each other, between Arab countries and within each country, from honor crimes [I.e. murder of women] to tribal and factional strife. Rightly, Muhammad Hasannain Haikal called the 20 years of war between the Al-Gama'a Al-Islamiyya and Islamic Jihad organizations and the [Egyptian] police ' the blood vengeance war between the police tribe and the Islamist tribe.'"
"The hysteria of vengeance on the West and on its protégée Israel has disastrous results – for example, the Arab traditional elite's phobia of Western modernism. The Western imperialism that followed this Western modernism crippled this elite, depriving it of the ability of rational statesmanship. [Statesmanship] that includes [the adoption of] constructive [Western] innovation; setting realistic aims; playing the political game rationally; realistically interpreting the [global or regional] balance of power and harnessing [this interpretation] in the decision-making [process]; managing crises sensibly by peaceably bringing the conditions of its solution into fruition; and, finally, developing decision-making procedures."
"The policy of vengeance that prevails today, especially among the influential elites in Palestine, Syria and Iraq, has banished any rational policy from their domestic decision making. In their domestic policy, these elites dismiss all public discussion. In their foreign policy, they refuse to negotiate. This is how these elites increase the likelihood of implosion [i.e. domestic strife] and war. It [also] explains their careening from one domestic outbreak [of violence] into the next, and from one destructive war into the next, much fiercer war."
"These traditional leaderships, saturated with collective narcissism, have undergone the same experience as people afflicted with depression. They are driven by their guilt-struck emotions to self-punishment, which is likely to end in suicide. This collective self-punishment is revealed in many cases, which I will summarize in two [phenomenon]: a) an 'all or nothing' policy, and b) a cult of armament and violence aimed at salvaging the injured face of this collective narcissism through martial victory, hoping that this would wash out the disgrace of military defeats."
I doubt that we have seen the worst yet. The worst is yet to come. Cut and run and watch out.

AbstractOBJECTIVE: The sick building syndrome (SBS) is a term mainly applied to irritative symptoms in the eyes, skin and upper airways that are experienced in certain environments. The aim of this study was to investigate the characteristics of subjects from the general population that report SBS-related symptoms. METHODS: The study comprised a randomly selected population of 418 individuals aged 20-45 years. The subjects underwent a structured interview, skin prick tests, a methacholine provocation test and answered two questionnaires respectively assessing psychiatric status and the presence of SBS symptoms. RESULTS: Eighty-seven subjects (21%) reported one or more SBS symptom weekly. Most common were general symptoms reported by 10% of the population. Female sex (odds ratio [OR] = 2.1), atopy (OR = 2.2) and anxiety (OR = 2.6) were significant independent risk factors for reporting at least one SBS-related symptom. Anxiety (OR = 3.2) and depression (OR = 4.4) were significant predictors for general symptoms, while bronchial hyper-responsiveness was a significant predictor for pharyngeal symptoms (dryness in the throat, sore throat and irritating cough) (OR = 5.4). CONCLUSIONS: Sick building symptoms are common in the general population and among women, while atopy and anxiety increase the risk of reporting such symptoms. Psychological factors are mainly related to general symptoms, while bronchial hyperresponsiveness is connected with pharyngeal symptoms.

Playing the Blues
Practising today I did, as usual, all of the Grade 1 scales and broken chords, a few runs through of the old Poacher, RH, and then went back to the "12 bar blues" I started on during the week. I've pretty much got the LH with it, but it just didn't sound very blue. Bit of googling reveals why, it's in a straightforward piano scale, not the blues scale, which is in the pic here, C minor.
Playing it in a regular piano scale is what makes it sound rather dull. So, now, I'm reminded of what Little Carmine said to Tony Soprano: "You're at the precipice, Tony. Of an enormous crossroads". Maybe I should just forget, for now anyway, about the ABRSM and the grades, and focus on the blues. Because that's what I really want to play. 5-10 years from now, I see myself playing in a bar. I could, theoretically, be able one day to play Chopin's Ballad, say, but my family and friends, whilst undoubtedly impressed, would be listening to it rather dutifully. But Bessie Smith would be a different story, of a Saturday night, with drink taken...
So that's a new departure. Start with the scales and take it from there.


This post focuses on the 20 Twitter accounts with the most followers worldwide. Nowadays, social networks are great indicators of the power, acceptance and fame of a personality. Those with a large following can easily reach tens of millions of people with just a few characters.
In recent months we have seen how the former president of the United States, Barack Obama, became the account with the most followers on Twitter, taking the position from singer Katy Perry.
Twitter was born in July 2006 and currently has more than 320 million monthly active users.
At the beginning of 2008, the Twitter work team consisted of just 18 people. The following year, Twitter had already multiplied its staff and continued to grow. In 2015, Twitter already had more than 3,600 employees between its headquarters in San Francisco (California) and its subsidiaries in San Antonio (Texas) and Boston (Massachusetts). Currently, Twitter has more than 4,600 employees worldwide.

About So Very Kristi
I have been hairdresser and singer in Dallas now for 30 years. I am always developing my skills as a hairdresser and as a singer. I am an advocate for great health and personal development in every way.
I’ve always known I have two passions. The other one is definitely singing. I cannot live, breath or do anything without music. I began my journey with music at the age of 7 and when I moved to Dallas to work in the salon, I also went to college and majored in music performance. After college I went on to perform in a couple of bands and worked with Linda Septien, one of the top vocal coaches in the nation. Little did I know Linda would be so instrumental in my musical journey now. Life is funny that way!


For the first time in a while, Apple launched new hardware products at WWDC. While the company didn’t reveal the first AR/VR Mixed Reality headset we’re all expecting, it did unveil its all-new MacBook Air and the new MacBook Pro. Both the new MacBooks are powered by the second-generation M-series chip, the Apple M2, and come with a number of features.
While Apple still hasn’t revealed the pre-order dates for the M2 MacBook Air, the pre-orders for the 2022 MacBook Pro with the M2 chipset start June 17, 2022. Since both the new Macs are powered by the second-generation Apple Silicon, you must be confused about which Mac you should get — especially since the Pro costs only $100 more than the Air. However, we think the 2022 MacBook Air is a better buy than the M2 MacBook Pro for most people. Here’s why:
M2 MacBook Air vs M2 MacBook Pro Specs Comparison
|Category||MacBook Air||MacBook Pro|
|Display||13.6 inches, 2560 x 1664, Liquid Retina Display||13.3 inches, 2560 x 1600, Retina display|
|CPU||M2, 8-core||M2, 8-core|
|Internal Storage||256GB, 512GB, 1TB, 2TB||256GB, 512GB, 1TB, 2TB|
|Ports||Two Thunderbolt / USB 4 ports, MagSafe, 3.5mm headphone jack||Two Thunderbolt / USB 4 ports, 3.5mm headphone jack|
|Battery (Rated)||Up to 18 hours||Up to 20 hours|
|Connectivity||802.11ax Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.0||802.11ax Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.0|
|Dimensions||11.97 x 8.46 x 0.44 inches||11.97 x 8.36 x 0.6 inches|
|Weight||1.24 kg (2.7 pounds)||1.4 kg (3 pounds)|
|Colors||Silver, Space Gray, Starlight, Midnight||Silver, Space Gray|
The new MacBook Air with the Apple M2 chipset, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of internal storage is available at a price of $1199 in the United States. On the other hand, the MacBook Pro with the same Apple M2 chipset, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of internal storage costs $100 more, i.e., $1299 (though you get two extra GPU cores).
Apple re-introduced MagSafe charging to the MacBook Pro series with the launch of 14-inch and 16-inch Pro models. The MagSafe charging has now made its way to the MacBook Air, while the 13-inch MacBook Pro still charges via the USB-C port. There are many benefits of having MagSafe charging. One of the conveniences that MagSafe brings is it perfectly aligns itself, while you will have to manually plug in the cable when using the USB-C charging port on the 13-inch MacBook Pro.
The MagSafe charger also snaps off automatically in case of accidental jerks, whereas it can lead to port damage in the case of the MacBook Pro. Another benefit of having MagSafe is that an extra USB-C port is available for you to use when you charge your MacBook Air. On the Pro, one port would be acquired by the charging adapter and you will find only one slot available to yourself.
Apple updated the MacBook’s design language with the launch of the 2021 MacBook Pro models. The company has now given the MacBook Air the same design treatment. The old wedged design is now gone and the new MacBook Air looks more modern than the 13-inch M2 MacBook Pro with flat edges and a sleeker design. The overall look is also more in-line with the design language Apple is trying to implement on all of its Macs.
The MacBook Air is also lighter in comparison to the 13-inch M2 MacBook Pro. While the MacBook Pro weighs 3 pounds, the Air comes in at only 2.7 pounds. It is also slightly (20%) smaller in volume than the MacBook Pro making it easier to carry.
Another advantage of buying the new MacBook Air over the MacBook Pro is that the Air comes with a color-matched keyboard and MagSafe cable. For example, if you buy the Mightnight color variant of the MacBook Air, you will receive the MagSafe cable that matches with the color of your laptop. On the other hand, the MacBook Pro ships with the standard white-color charging adapter.
(Slightly) Bigger Display
The MacBook Pro comes with a 13.3-inch display with 2560 x 1600 resolution. On the other hand, the MacBook Air comes with a slightly bigger 13.6-inch display with a resolution of 2560 x 1664. Both the display offer 500 nits of peak brightness, wide color (P3) coverage, and True Tone support.
Even though the overall size of the two laptops is almost the same, the main difference is that the Air features much slimmer display bezels than the Pro. It also comes with a notch up top. If you want a Mac that looks similar to the newer Pro models and makes the most out of screen real estate, we recommend you to go with the 2022 MacBook Air over the 13-inch M2 MacBook Pro.
Full HD webcam
The new MacBook Air comes with a 1080p full HD webcam whereas the MacBook Pro features only a 720p video calling camera. If your work involves a lot of video calls and online meetings, the MacBook Air seems like a better buy thanks to the full HD webcam that it comes with.
Overall, the new MacBook Air seems like a better deal if you’re in the market for a laptop with an Apple M2 chipset. However, if you’re really keen on buying a device that can sustain performance for long periods of time, we recommend you to take a look at the M2 MacBook Pro and even the last year’s M1 Pro MacBook Pro (even though it costs a bit more, it comes with the newer design). What would you buy if given a choice: the new M2 MacBook Air or the M2 MacBook Pro? Let us know in the comments section below!

4. Opposing the Constitution
- Anti-Federalist letters to papers in the proposed Constitution, 1787-1788 PDF
- Anti-Federalist essays of «Philadelphiensis,» 1787-1788, selections PDF
- Appeals for calm within the ratification debates, 1787-1788 PDF
At right are details from an engraving entitled The hunting Glass for 1787 that satirized the contentious ratification debate in Connecticut. Their state is represented as a wagon enmired in mud and weighted straight down with paper (heavy financial obligation and inflated paper cash), while two sets of state senators—supporters and opponents of this proposed Constitution—pull the wagon in other directions. The written text balloons expose their polarized contempt—«we abhor the antifederal Faction» and «curses regarding Federal Govermt.» As historian Jack Rakove reminds us, «the debate over ratification... took the shape perhaps not of a Socratic discussion or an academic symposium but of a cacophonous argument in which interests concept and common sense and close analyses of certain clauses accompanied wild predictions regarding the good and wicked impacts that ratification would bring.»1 Inside preceding section, Promoting the Constitution, we considered the Federalist voice into the «cacophonous argument»; right here we sample the Anti-Federalist objections. To discern the variety of tone into the pieces—serious, sardonic, angry, humorous—read the pieces aloud. Proceed with the mixture of unbiased and impassioned rhetoric. Exactly how did these pieces work as persuasion and declamation?
Anti-Federalist letters to papers in the proposed Constitution, 1787-1788. Core readings for a report of Constitution are the very carefully reasoned essays written by many accomplished political theorists associated with the day—including the Federalist Papers by Publius (James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and John Jay), and Anti-Federalist essays by Cato, Centinel, the Federal Farmer, the Columbian Patriot, and other Constitution critics.2 Every one of these works first starred in papers, and most were quickly reprinted as pamphlets and books. Offering an intriguing companion to these essays are the shorter viewpoint pieces submitted by visitors through the country for their neighborhood papers. Eight quick Anti-Federalist pieces are presented here from top months of national debate on the proposed Constitution. With many different genre and tone, they represent the major Anti-Federalist concerns towards proposed Constitution. Exactly what perspective do they add to a report regarding the ratification process? (6 pp.)
Anti-Federalist essays of «Philadelphiensis,» 1787-1788, choices. One of the pseudonyms that abounded during the ratification debates, «Philadelphiensis» had been used by a recent Irish immigrant being employed as a mathematics trainer during the University of Pennsylvania. Their eleven fevered essays appeared over five months in 2 Philadelphia magazines, during and after their state ratifying meeting. Selections from six of their essays are presented here, like the sixth that was mercilessly satirized by Francis Hopkinson in their Federalist satire «The New Roof» (see the past part, marketing the Constitution). Workman condemned the proposed constitution as a device to combine energy among the list of «well-born» elite and also to relegate other residents toward status of serfs and slaves, and he predicted British-like tyranny from the standing (permanent) national military that might be delivered into the states to enforce federal law—both prevalent Anti-Federalist warnings. It is worthwhile to contrast the Philadelphiensis essays because of the more reasoned and dispassionate functions Anti-Federalists like George Mason, Mercy Otis Warren, George Clinton, and others (see Supplemental web sites). (6 pp.)
Appeals for relax in ratification debates, 1787-1788. Amidst the whirlwind of Federalist and Anti-Federalist essays, satires, poems, and letters that filled the papers through the ratification debates, occasionally a short piece would appeal for relaxed, explanation, and openness toward merits of an opponent's argument. «Cool minds are clear,» published one page author; «turn your backs upon all fiery declaimers.» Presented listed below are four such letters, followed by a dialogue between a Federalist and an Anti-Federalist that models civil discourse for antagonists whose «cool minds» had strayed. (4 pp.)
- How did Us americans' concept of self-governance change from 1776 to 1789? Why?
- How did their emerging national identification affect this procedure?
- What divisions of governmental ideology coalesced inside process?
- How did the procedure induce the last Constitution and Bill of Rights?
- how can the Constitution and the Bill of Rights mirror the ideals regarding the United states Revolution?

Yard Machines - Model # 11A-084R229
(Evansville, IN (USA))
Last year, I purchased a Weedeater push mower from Walmart and it lasted almost a whole season. (Don't ever buy those.) So this year, I decided to go with something more reliable. I just have a normal-sized lot (75 X 150) so I didn't need to purchase a rider, but I wanted something that was tough and would last for years, without costing me a fortune. I decided on a 22" Yard Machines mower.
When I took it out of the box, it was already put together and all I had to do was tighten the screws and make a few, minor adjustments. The unit can be adjusted to any one of six levels, depending upon how low you want to cut your grass. I'm not very mechanically inclined but this was easy for me to set up.
Finally, I started mowing my yard and the machine performed incredibly well. Generally, small, push mowers tend to feel a bit flimsy when you're using them. (The difference is sort of like what a little VW feels like, compared to a big Cadillac.) But this one felt tough and sturdy and was actually much easier to push, compared to any other push mower I've ever had.
I'm not a mechanic but I think the thick wheels have something to do with it. They are 7" in the front and 8" in the back, allowing the unit the ability to glide smoothly and steadily along the grass and not get stuck and cause unnecessary pushing. The machine is obviously built, extremely well.
I actually cut my entire lawn in about two hours.
I am a sixty-year-old woman who only weighs 115 lbs, so I appreciate how easy this mower is to run. The only down side I can think of is that it was a bit difficult (for me) to start. You have to give the cord a good yank, before the engine turns over. I initially had to get someone to help me start it, but then I figured out that if I just press the primer button three times, it's easier to start. Now, I always do that, and leave my neighbors alone.
I would recommend this mower to anyone looking for something reliable, at a good price. Home Depot had it on sale for $150.00 and I can tell you that it was worth every penny. It even comes with a 2-year warranty, so I won't have to worry about replacing it, come next spring.

The interrelation of creativity and inspection time was tested with 97 subjects. Based on former results it was presumed that psychometric creativity - similar to psychometric intelligence - is related to inspection time. According to former data, mental abilities display low or medium negative correlation with information processing on large samples. I.e., in tests, high and low achievement is accompanied by fast and slow reaction time, respectively, in the case of 10-20% of subjects. The author obtained a correlation that is of the same direction but weaker than those published in the literature. Comparing high and low creativity test achievements and the quality of information processing he found that both show individual differences, which, however, do not coincide. Subjects requiring twice-three times longer inspection time or twice-three times more of presentations include persons of high, medium and low creativity alike.
