Is that he has clearly become the BEST player on this team. He has always been the most IMPORTANT player which is the norm for a QB but before today i think it was good argument on either him or Luke. NOT ANYMORE, Cam is the most important player on this team and THE Best player over Luke now. No matter how many times Rivera tries to take the game out his hands to prove his philosophy it doesnt change the fact it should be in Cams hands from now on when its crunch time.
Of course this has been going on for a while now, but i think a lot more people saw today during this game how this staff holds Cam back and not the other way around. Rivera exposed himself again today, he cant hide behind an incredible defense no more, if we are gonna continue to win games it needs be threw Cam making plays and not hoping the defense seals the game for us. It will be interesting to see if Rivera sticks by his ego or lets Cam become the guy to carry this team from here on out.
Winning shootouts is not apart of Riveras philosophy, teams are not supposed to be scoring anywhere near 37 points on us and when that has happened he has shown his flaws as a head coach. Of course i dont want this to continue and still hope the defense gets their poo together but i think its obvious when they are off Cam needs to be the one to win the game for us. I thought Rivera would have understood this by now, i guess not.

PAINESVILLE, Ohio- The Lake Erie College women's basketball team will look to snap a three game slide as they travel to Columbus for a GLIAC South matchup with the Ohio Dominican Panthers on Monday (Jan. 30).
Storm Report: Lake Erie is currently 7-12 overall and 5-8 in the GLIAC. The Storm fell to Hillsdale on Thursday (Jan. 26) 67-65. Kayla Gabor (Mentor, Ohio / Mentor) led the Storm with 19 points and six rebounds. Josie Chaddock (Minerva, Ohio / Minerva) added ten points and Farrah Benner (Brunswick, Ohio / Brunswick) scored a career-high eight points.
"Both Hillsdale and Ohio Dominican offer similar challenges this week," said Storm head coach Bob Booher. "Both have multiple scorers who can hurt you and both rebound very well. Defensively they make you work for good shots which when considering their style of play explains why both have winning records."
Opposition Position: Ohio Dominican enters the matchup with the Storm with a 14-6 overall record and a 9-4 conference mark thus far. The Panthers defeated the Chargers 70-68 on Saturday (Jan. 28). Lauren Bates is the leading scorer for ODU, with an average of 13 points per game.
Series History: Lake Erie dropped both matchups to the Panthers last season. In the overall series, the Storm has a 6-8 record against Ohio Dominican.
Storm Forecast: The Storm will host Tiffin and Walsh this week at the Osborne Center.

The last proper studio album from Bonzo and the boys gets the fresh reassessment it deserves
Led Zeppelin’s seventh studio album, Presence, was released at the end of March 1976. In contrast with the near-unanimous critical acclaim that greeted the band’s previous release, 1975’s double-LP Physical Graffiti, Presence received a relatively tepid reception.
The keyboard experimentation that the band had employed so successfully on the previous few albums was absent, and while Zeppelin had never been a singles-oriented outfit, Presence somehow seemed less radio-friendly as well. Everything about the album seemed rushed; even the enigmatic artwork came off as a poor man’s Hipgnosis, the kind of thing Pink Floyd might have considered and then rejected. (As it happens, though, the cover art really was a Hipgnosis project!)
In the wake of multiple personal issues – vocalist Robert Plant’s car crash and (allegedly, at least) guitarist Jimmy Page’s serious drug use, there would be no tour in support of Presence. In fact the four members – Page, Plant, drummer John Bonham and bassist/multi-instrumentalist John Paul Jones – essentially went to ground after (or perhaps even before) the album’s release. The group did tour in ’77, but the death of Plant’s son meant that the tour was cut short. It wasn’t clear that Led Zeppelin would continue.
But they did. Nearly three and a half years after the release of Presence, the band returned with In Through the Out Door. A varied release, the August 1979 album was remarkable: it was both musically adventurous – in some ways, more of a piece with Houses of the Holy from 1973 – and perhaps the most unabashedly commercial collection of songs the band had ever put together. Maybe musical fashions had caught up with the band; whatever the reasons, In Through the Out Door was both well-received in the marketplace and praised in comparison to its predecessor.
The album opens to foreboding, vaguely Middle Eastern tones, sonic textures that suggest a churning cauldron. After more than 50 seconds of those atmospherics, Plant’s voice – altered with an electronic effect – introduces the song’s title: “In the Evening.” The rest of the band comes stomping in. Page plays a hypnotic guitar figure, and Jones doubles that line on synthesizer. In fact, the synth is mixed quite a bit louder; the guitar is – by Zeppelin standards – buried in the mix. Bonham lays down a simple yet thundering drum pattern that swings, just a little. On the first chorus, Plant seems to be struggling just a bit for the high notes; he’s the tiniest bit flat. But rather than sounding jarring, the effect is humanizing: maybe these guys are mere mere mortals, after all. The arrangement is among the most repetitive thing the band would ever commit to tape, but it’s appealing nonetheless. Page’s solo – some four minutes in – is on the sloppy side, but his skill at conjuring interesting tones remains unparalleled. The dreamy bridge of the song is its best quality; here, Page’s lead guitar is the sonic equivalent of a searchlight in thick fog. Still, at nearly seven minutes, “In the Evening” threatens to wear out its welcome; a memorable riff repeated hundreds of times doesn’t itself make for a great song.
“South Bound Saurez” seems expressly designed to give keyboardist Jones a case of carpal tunnel syndrome; his insistent, sixteen-to-the-bar piano pounding is among the most prominent characteristics of this bluesy tune. With a title that possibly features a misspelling (the place name “Suarez” seems more likely), the tune hearkens in some ways back to “Rock and Roll” from the band’s fourth, untitled LP. There’s nothing wrong with the tune, but it’s a relatively undistinguished entry in the Led Zeppelin catalog. Bonham’s drum breakdowns are as impressive as ever, and when John Paul Jones breaks out of the repetitive piano parts into some bluesy runs, he shines.
Three tracks in, though, the band hits its stride. “Fool in the Rain” would be an extremely popular FM radio hit, and for good reason. It’s full of Led Zeppelin’s best qualities: the beat is constantly shifting, with the instrumental melodies playing against Plant’s vocal line. The song’s arrangement leaves plenty of space for inventive guitar runs from Page and wonderfully splashy and expressive percussion work from John Bonham. Moreover, the band seems to be having a really good time. After a whistle blows, the song heads in a completely different direction, one filled with marimbas; it’s as close to a party song as the band would ever make. And when Jimmy Page lays down a call-and-response solo – sparring with Bonham – his wonderfully buzzing, distorted lead is a treat. It’s difficult to tell if he’s using an octave divider to double the lead melody an octave lower; perhaps it’s Jones playing along on overdubbed bass. Maybe it’s both; whatever it is, the instrumental break is a highlight of the entire record. Like “In the Evening” before it, “Fool in the Rain” makes a virtue of repetition, using that hypnotic over-and-over as a basis upon which musical exploration can be laid.
If they were having a good time cutting “Fool in the Rain,” the band is positively giddy on “Hot Dog.” Over the years, this tune has often got a bad rap from Led Zeppelin fans who consider it a throwaway romp. And while it is a romp, the tune has virtues of its own. With a sound that draws from all over the American musical landscape, “Hot Dog” distills the influences of Elvis, country and western and steely hard rock into something that – if not new – is nonetheless a great deal of fun. It’s not difficult to imagine American country guitarist Junior Brown – who would have been around 27 when In Through the Out Door was released – hearing “Hot Dog” and deciding that its mix of country music values and high-energy guitar riffage might be a direction worth exploring. John Paul Jones is showcased here, with wonderful barrelhouse piano and a stomping bass line. Bonham plays things straight, though his impossibly hard-hitting approach to the drums adds heft. Plant is clearly enjoying harmonizing with himself. And humor – a characteristic that doesn’t manifest itself in a lot of Led Zeppelin’s material – crops up in “Hot Dog.” The couplet “I took her love at seventeen / a little young these days, it seems” is more than a bit ironic in light of Page’s frequent dalliances with, let’s just say, younger ladies. Guitar-wise, Page is simply on fire; he fumbles over some of the speedy lead runs on his guitar, but those mistakes only add to the song’s charm.
Nothing heard on the first side of In Though the Out Door prepares listeners for what they hear after they flip the record over and drop the needle on Side Two. As the 1970s drew to a close, many of rock’s more guitar-centric acts were struggling with finding ways to incorporate synthesizers into their musical arsenal. The Who had arguably been the most successful, adding primitive loops and analog synths into the songs on Who’s Next as early as 1971. They were able to add synthesizers sounds without losing the hard-edged vibe that came from being a “guitar band.” Led Zeppelin had certainly made effective use of keyboards before; John Paul Jones’ Mellotron work on “The Rain Song” from Houses of the Holy is simple yet sublime. But the synths on “Carouselambra” are far more prominent and – this is key – aggressive. Again approaching repetition as a virtue, he lays down a stuttering yet relentless chord sequence. Reviewers at the time likened it (unfavorably) to works from progressive rock acts. With the benefit of four decades’ insight, the comparison has merit, but it’s a plus. Plant’s vocal is buried in the mix, and his lyrics seem slight. But the orchestration is delightful, and as the lengthy song moves through “movements,” it reveals its complexity and power. Page’s slow, thundering chords ring out during the expansive sections, and then his chiming fingerpicking adds an additional melodic hook to the song. Bonham gets plenty of space to explore different beats and textures. The arrangement teases the listener; as soon as one settles into a groove, the band changes it up. And again, and again. Seven minutes in, the song becomes even more of a synthesizer showcase, with at least three different keyboard parts. Page adds soaring guitar lines atop that mix as the song builds toward a crescendo. Then the whole thing fades into silence.
Having whetted the listener’s appetite for synthesizers, the band goes for broke with “All My Love.” Romantic ballads would rarely figure in Led Zeppelin’s catalog, but this one – a highly tuneful and commercial number – ranks among the band’s best. Jones’ string synth has a character more in line with the pseudo-classical ambitions of bands like Genesis. Plant’s vocal is warm and romantic, and prominent in the mix. Jones’ monophonic synthesizer solo is transcendent. Page adds bits of guitar filigree that help give more texture to the song, but here his work is more decorative than foundational. Bonham’s fills seem to suggest that he’d like to break into a hard rocker, but his heavy approach keeps the song from getting too sweet.
Though it opens to the sounds of stirring string synthesizers, “I’m Gonna Crawl” is really a nod to Led Zeppelin’s early days. Its sound falls halfway between the straight blues of the band’s earliest records and Robert Plant’s post-Led Zeppelin work, specifically his 1984 Honeydrippers EP, Volume One. Jimmy Page’s extended guitar solo on the almost painfully slow tune is predictably well-put-together.
The packaging for In Though the Out Door was nothing if not unusual. The album jacket came wrapped in a brown paper bag, with the band name and title faux-stamped on its front. Curiously, that bag wasn’t attempting to obscure a risqué cover; no full-frontals a la John and Yoko for Led Zeppelin. In fact there were six different photographs used for covers; buyers wouldn’t know which one they had until getting home and unwrapping the record. The photographs are all various perspectives of the same scene: a messy and dimly-lit bar featuring a suited gentleman setting a piece of paper alight while a burly bartender looks on.
At first glance, the inner sleeve images seem to be mere high-contrast black-and-white details from that same scene. But – and I have no idea how we all knew of this in 1979, but we did – if one daubed a paintbrush with a bit of water and applied it across key spots on the image, colors revealed themselves. Each side of the inner sleeve had an image that could be altered in this fashion. Fun and interesting and interactive as it was, the reasoning behind it would remain unknown.
In Through the Out Door was massively successful on release, the album went 6X Platinum in the United States, making it to the Top Ten on album charts in Australia, Canada, France, Japan, New Zealand, Spain and the UK. It performed well in Sweden (where it was recorded), Norway, West Germany, Switzerland and Italy as well.
Less than a year after the album’s release, drummer John Bonham died at age 32; his death came almost exactly two years after the death of Who drummer Keith Moon, also 32. But unlike the Who, for Led Zeppelin, the loss of its drummer spelled the end of the band. A collection of odds and ends, the pointedly-titled Coda would be the final Led Zeppelin album, released in 1982.

Believed to be a precursor to the pancake, johnnycakes originated in the early 1700s. The early versions were flat griddlecakes that included cornmeal, salt, and either boiling water or cold milk. Modern-day johnnycakes often call for eggs and melted butter or oil, along with leavening agents such as baking powder or baking soda. Here, we've also added blackberries and pecans for freshness and crunch.
- Printer Friendly Version
- 3⁄4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 2 1⁄2 Tbs. sugar
- 1⁄2 tsp. salt
- 1 cup milk
- 3⁄4 cup fine-grind yellow cornmeal
- 6 Tbs. (3⁄4 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1⁄2 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup halved blackberries
Directions:In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, sugar and salt; set aside.
In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, warm the milk until small bubbles form around the edges of the pan and steam begins to rise from the surface. Remove from the heat.
Put the cornmeal in a bowl, add the milk and stir to combine. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand for 10 minutes. Stir in the butter and eggs. Stir the cornmeal mixture into the flour mixture until thoroughly combined. Let stand for 10 minutes.
Butter a griddle or large fry pan or spray with nonstick cooking spray, and heat over medium heat. Using a batter dispenser, dispense 2 Tbs. batter for each johnnycake onto the griddle; sprinkle each with 2 tsp. pecans and 3 blackberry halves. Cook until golden underneath, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip the johnnycakes and cook until golden underneath, 1 to 2 minutes more. Serve immediately.

Old house being currently renovated. Some distance from the main attractions. Limited amenities... In one word - GREAT ! We loved the place. From caring and attentive staff, to many small details that were put there to make the guest's stay more pleasant, this was our home away from home. The hotel has that 'x' factor that is difficult to define. Also, well appointed and very clean. There is no doubt in our minds that we will return to Galunov when we visit again.
Stayed here for 4 nights. It felt home away from home.Airport transfer and arranging for a taxi to the station were all smooth. Regarding facilities, everything is great.They have considered all minute details while designing the room like the number of plug sockets and usb ports. I loved the music that plays on in the bathroom too and you can actually control the volume.Housekeeping is excellent. Everyday treats like candies and chocolates were something I would look for.Above all, the complementary access to the dining area where you can have different kinds of tea, coffee, latte, fruit, nuts, ice creams and what not..The staff at the reception are extremely friendly , helpful and all of them speak English.Room decors are lovely. It is a great place for walkers. Bus stops, metro stops are nearby.Lots of cafes nearby.There is no elevator but the stairs are not steep at all. All in all , a wonderful experience.…
It’s a tiny hotel but, forgetting the restoration works in progress, everything is perfect! Friendly-decorated room, cleanness, extremely, I said extremely pleasant staff, location, breakfast and price. It’s definitely a no-brainer for staying in St. Petersburg, by the way, one of the 5 most beautiful large cities in Europe.
Galunov Hotel was just great for my wife and I. Located off Nevsky Prospekt with bus stop and Metro stops close by. Quiet room, despite some renovations in courtyard, very friendly, nice staff, and a great breakfast. Small room but clean and modern.
They have the most important things in a hotel, that in my opinion are: comfortability, clean, kindness and good buffet at breakfast. But they have them at the highest rate. To show their kindness just tell you they made us a basket with a breakfast for our departure (at night). The rooms are big, with comfortable beds, big bathrooms and well equipped (just if their hairdryer was a little better, it would be just perfect). And finally the hotel is just really beautiful. Great, great hotel.

Considered to be one of the top 50 songwriters of the past five decades, Jonathan Byrd plays Full Circle Theatre in Perth this coming Sunday evening, April 6th at 7pm.
Scott Alarik of the Boston Globe says, “This rootsy North Carolinian may be the most buzzed-about new songwriter in folkdom. He displays John Prine’s gift for stark little songs that tell big, complex stories, Guy Clark’s lean melodicism, Lyle Lovett’s wry mischief, and Bill Morrissey’s knack for the revealing image.”
If that description has you hooked, you can find out what makes Byrd’s songwriting yourself by sampling the video below and planning to head to Byrd’s show this weekend! Event details here.

SAN FRANCISCO — Dressed in jeans and a Beatles T-shirt, Saoirse Ronan can’t wait to get to WonderCon. She wants to buy some “Ugly Dolls” at the comic book and pulp culture event.
It takes conversations about stuffed toys to be reminded that the actress is just barely old enough to drive. It’s an easy thing to forget. After all, she has a resume that rivals performers twice her age — including an Oscar nomination for “Atonement” when she was 13.
In her latest film, “Hanna,” Ronan is reunited with Joe Wright, who directed “Atonement.” When she first heard the film’s concept of a 16-year-old girl trained in isolation to be an assassin, she worried it would be little more than a “crazy animal fighter.”
But she trusted her instincts that the role would be more, especially because of Wright.
“She’s not just that. She slowly begins to develop all these layers. Although she has quite a simplistic outlook on life, there’s a lot of different shades to her,” Ronan says of her character. “As long as it made sense, I was able to do what I wanted to do with the role.”
The freedom came from knowing how Wright works.
“I don’t know how to explain it because we really don’t communicate much through words,” says Ronan. “I just seem to understand what he wants in a scene. Kind of, from the off, we had a really great understanding of each other and with this I certainly felt really comfortable portraying true emotions but living in this surreal world because of him”
Ronan says she and Wright naturally knew what was needed to bring Hanna to life.
“Hanna” presented Ronan with a unique test: acting while performing big action scenes. Lots of preparation helped.
“I did a lot of training — even working out in the gym for two hours a day — so I would have strength, something I didn’t have before,” Ronan says.
The best part of all the training was the martial arts, which seemed like dance choreography to her.
“The training helped me because I got to work on the outside of the character first. I have never really had a chance to research and prepare for a character like this before,” she says.
Directing comes as naturally to Wright as acting comes to Ronan. He relies heavily on instinct and gut feelings, such as when he was in Berlin scouting locations for “Hanna.”
“I told the guide to forget the script and show me what was interesting,” Wright says.
One of those stops was an abandoned amusement park with a fairy-tale theme. Wright knew it was a perfect spot to shoot the finale because he sees Hanna’s story as a modern fairy tale. The only difference is the bad guys are government agents and not big bad wolves.
Wright also had to get creative to deal with the film’s small budget. One scene, following a long day of filming on the docks, called for a holding cell they didn’t have. Wright improvised and used shipping containers to create the scene.
“I guess if I ever had all the money I wanted to shoot a movie, I would be less creative,” Wright says.
That would mean having to go against his instincts, something neither Wright nor Ronan have done so far.

Kardinal Offishall and Danny Fernandes tore the roof down earlier this month as the Wave welcomed the two Canadian superstars to be a part of Westerns Purple Frost event. Kardinal and Danny have been holding it down as ambassadors for Canadian entertainers respectively for many years. Kardinal broke into the scene 20 plus years ago seeing great billboard success. Danny has been holding it down on his own as far as Canadian pop music goes, holding numerous smash hits to his name. The Wave welcomed the duo in with open arms Thursday January 9th, and all show goers were treated to two plus hours of live entertainment.
Though it was a modest crowd in attendance, both Fernandes and Kardi brought the same amount of energy you would expect to see at any stadium concert. The intimate setting allowed for the pair to interact with their loyal fans, making it a memorable night for all in attendance.
At 11:00 o’clock, Danny Fernandes and his band stepped out to the Wave stage, setting the tempo for the night. Though the contrast between hip-hop artist and pop artist can seem as a contradiction, Danny took control of the stage bringing both fans of each respected genre together through a well-orchestrated set. Danny’s archived hits, “Private Dancer” and “Kryptonite” proved to be crowd favorites as fans sang along faithfully with Fernandes and his energetic band. Fernandes wrapped up his set with his two newest singles from his latest album Breathe Again; “Broken Wings” and “Come Back Down.” All and all, Danny’s energy on stage was nothing short of infectious. By the time Kardinal took the stage at 12:00 o’clock, the wave was ready to party.
First off let me say that Kardinal’s stage presence is in a league of its own. From the moment he stepped onto the stage at the Wave, he had the crowd in the palm of his hands. Kardi and his long time friend and hype-man, Solitair come out guns blazing, getting the crowd on their feet instantly. Kardinal shared with the crowd that he first found his love for rapping at 8 years old. His main goal for the evening was to bring the nostalgic hip-hop vibe he grew up with in the 80’s and 90’s to the fans who paid to see him that night. At 37 years of age, Kardinal has seen it all in the industry. What is most impressive about Kardinal’s stages presence is his humble demeanor while performing- his love for the art of hip hop is contagious, and Kardinal’s set welcomed the crowd into his world creating an instant connection (but don’t get it confused, Krardi’s energy on stage is unmatched).
Spending nearly all of his life performing, Kardinal’s MC’ing comes as a second nature; Him and Solitair truly know how to work a crowd up-I think I spent the majority of the show bouncing around like a mad man. Setting the tone for his set with the banger, “Wilin” classic cuts such as “Rude Boy,” “Dangerous,” and “Money Jane” were soon to follow. I gotta say this as well, Kardinal is a really funny dude. After prompting the crowd to sing the chorus for “Rude Boy,” a drunken fan yelled out that it was his birthday. Kardi and the smashed birthday boy had a five minute conversation, and basically everything that left Kardinal’s mouth had the crowd in stitches. Near the end of his set, Kardinal gave the Wave crowd an exclusive sneak peak at his newest track, “Freedom,” which is off of his latest album still in the works. Kardinal’s show at the Wave was his first set of 2014, and it had me, as well as all the fans in attendance excited to see what Mr. Offishall has coming up next.
Special thanks to the Wave for hosting the show.

Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI-08) made a public appeal for impeachment hearings in the pages of The Washington Post, but now the freshman Democrat is “undecided” on the articles of impeachment.
Slotkin joined six Democrats—all with national security backgrounds—in calling the allegations against President Donald Trump “a threat to all we have sworn to protect.”
“This flagrant disregard for the law cannot stand. To uphold and defend our Constitution, Congress must determine whether the president was indeed willing to use his power and withhold security assistance funds to persuade a foreign country to assist him in an upcoming election,” Slotkin and her colleagues wrote in a September 25 op-ed. “If these allegations are true, we believe these actions represent an impeachable offense.”
Slotkin told reporters this week, however, that she has not yet decided how she will vote on the articles of impeachment that Democrats officially announced at a Tuesday morning press conference.
“I think that there are some decisions that leaders are asked to make that are often controversial and difficult and hard to understand for lots of people, but the leader has to make it because they know it’s the right thing to do,” Slotkin, a former CIA officer, told The Post. “And I am very comfortable in doing that because my world is national security.”
She acknowledged that her district is “overall not supportive of impeachment.” In fact, Slotkin was booed at a town hall shortly after she announced her support for the impeachment inquiry.
She told CNN that she’s still “undecided” and said her “phones are ringing off the hook.”
Elissa Slotkin, freshman Democrat from swing district, told me she's hearing "constantly" from voters about impeachment. "The phones are ringing off the hook.

President Trump won Slotkin’s district by seven percentage points in 2016. Slotkin is one of 31 Democrats representing a district the president carried, along with Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI-11).
Her support for the impeachment inquiry has motivated four Republicans to challenge her in the 2020 elections.

This is a great place to take a shady leisurely walk and learn about all the different kinds of trees in a Florida hardwood hammock....as well as the geological history of the area. I agree that this would be most pleasant in the winter months. (We did not see one bug in February.) The fossilized coral is fascinating. I read that some people bring paper and crayons to make rubbings, but be sure to ask about that in the visitor's center. The visitor's center is small but very helpful to understand what you will be seeing. Take the time to watch a couple of the short films there. You can do a self-guided tour with their excellent guidebook. Entry fee is a mere $2.50 each, plus $2 each if you want a ranger to give you a guided tour (children under 5 are free).

FRIENDSHIP AND A MUTUAL INTEREST FOR A TYPE OF STREET DANCING CALLED POPPING UNITE A GROUP OF YOUNG PEOPLE IN SEVILLE.
“FIVE…SIX…FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, GO!”
It’s a Saturday afternoon at Sevilla Dance Center and Belén Espinosa Ledo is listening to her instructor count off the rhythm to the electrifying beat that’s booming out of the stereo. As she begins to dance with her classmates, the dimly lit studio is suddenly filled with a contagious energy as the dancers move their bodies with ease to the punchy rhythm of the hip-hop music. Their bodies jerk and pop quickly yet fluidly to form this unique style of dance known as popping.
TWENTY-ONE YEAR OLD BELéN started experimenting with modern dance classes about five years ago, but she wasn’t really passionate until she started meeting with other dancers outside of class two years later. “I began to meet people who dance hip hop, popping and locking, and I started to watch them and go with them to several performing events here in Seville. I realized then that I liked really their kind of dance, especially popping,” she says. Although she still attends the popping class, today Belén prefers to train with her friends in the street where most urban dancers usually perform.
BELéN AND HER FRIENDS compose a lively and unique group in Sevilla, belonging to the larger tribe called Hamawari Crew. “Hamawari Crew is a dance group composed of many people. It is not a group defined merely by the dancers that are here, but rather we are a group from Seville,
Huelva, Granada, Barcelona, and Madrid. The group originated on Facebook to bring us together to train, share videos, give opinions, and inform ourselves about dancing events…,” Belén explains.
JUST LIKE ANY GROUP OF FRIENDS, each member of Hamawari Crew has something special that sets them apart. Not only do they vary in age, level of experience and personal style, but they also have very unique goals and desired career paths. For example, Belén is studying nursing at the University of Seville and aspires to work with cancer patients in radiotherapy. One of Belén’s friends, Jesús Zarco Rodríguez, 23, who goes by Zarco, is studying both sports science and physical activity at the University of Seville and photography at an institute of secondary education. He will soon end his studies and enter the professional field by next June. Then there is Miguel Ángel Sivianes Overa, 19, better known as Tato by his friends, who studies mechanics.
DESPITE THESE DIFFERENCES, their cohesive teamlike spirit and shared passion for popping is clear. Through their laughter and enthusiastic cheering for one another as they showcase their freestyle moves, it’s easy to conclude that the dancers feel very comfortable with one another and share a special friendship. In fact, Belén has been dancing right alongside Tato, her boyfriend and inspiration ever since they met three years ago.
“HE SUPPORTS ME SO MUCH IN DANCING. It was he who introduced me to popping, he was the one who taught me and introduced me to those who are now my dancing friends,” Belén describes. When they perform, you see their exceptional connection and mutual passion for dance and one another. Although they are the only dating couple among their dancing friends, their support and close bond isn’t unique.
BELÉN, TATO, ZARCO and their other peers of Hamawari Crew come together as often as they can to dance and practice different techniques. Aside the classes at the dance academy, they train together as often as three times a week at the San Pablo Community Center in addition to performing for fun in different plazas in the heart of the city. In their free time, they are dedicated to continuously improving and teaching one another.
HAMAWARI CREW is an open and inviting group of young adults that enjoy making new friends and learning from each other. What really sets them apart from other groups of dancers is the way that they come together from different parts of Spain to share new techniques and spread knowledge of these American-born dances that aren’t so popular in Seville. For them, dancing is something that brings them joy and allows them to express themselves and identify with others that share the same interest. This can really be beneficial since Spain and other parts of the world are going through a time of hardship.
BECAUSE SPAIN IS IN A TIME OF ECONOMIC CRISIS, high unemployment rates (especially among young people) and increasing poverty, adolescents beginning to start a life on their own can more easily succumb to depression. However, the members of Hamawari Crew have a special advantage when combating the throes of the crisis. Coming together as a team to share a passion with close friends is perhaps one of the best ways to forget about the negative aspects of life and develop a solidarity network. Although it is not the principal reason that they choose to dance, they recognize that it has become a positive benefit that takes away the pain and concerns. “If you are overwhelmed, if you are stressed or experiencing anything that could be negative, dancing disconnects you from the series of problems you have in your mind or in your life,” says one of the newest members, Álvaro Campos Rodríguez, 26, who fell in love with popping two months ago.
BELéN SUMS IT UP WITH A SHY SMILE. “I love to dance because it’s something that gives me joy. It’s more than just a hobby.” And with that, she returns to her friends and their smiling faces transform into a dedicated expression as their instructor begins the count again. “Five…six… five, six, seven, go!”

STAR'S END Update 01.07.07
- Dwight Ashley may never learn to tame his impulses into a style.
The smoldering emotion of ATAXIA (68'28") does not fit
comfortably into any one movement. His influences here are
less musical and more from national and world events. In 12
crowded compositions Ashley finds refuge in a surreal world of
sound. On ATAXIA his so-called neo-expressionism melts into a
tempestuous state of the union message where blunt collages
of battling tonalities and churning sonic textures advance like a
storm front. With very little in the way of rhythm, melody and
harmony, Ashley's compositions are realized through variations
in timbre and tone - the most basic concept in Electronic Music.
The songs are found in the making, and Ashley discovers new
possibilities along the way. His work penetrates, then devours. It
is a way of thinking in sound - which captures the brutality of our
time. Though the political inquisition of this work may estrange
some listeners, Ashley is so strident and strange, he comes off
looking like a harbinger, not an oddity. ATAXIA is a truthful cultural
inquest and appeals for less chaos on higher ground.

Canon Eos R5 is the Most Advanced Canon DSLR with Industry-Leading Features. But will canon offer the same with its other cameras as well?
Canon Eos R6 Review: Will It Rule The Mirrorless?
Will Canon Eos R6 Be Your Next Camera?
Canon has launched its two flagship full-frame mirrorless cameras recently. The Canon Eos R5 and Canon Eos R6. And both possess exciting new feature sets. But the camera that’s going to have more spotlight is the Canon Eos R6. You will probably go for eos r6 instead of the eos r5 because of its perfect price for the features or the specifications it is offering.
Canon Eos R6 Review
Since after the launch of Eos R6, it has not been tested well in real world conditions. But from initial impressions and hands on we can predict much more even now.
Plus Points of Eos R6
- The best option for the right price at the right specifications.
- 4K 60p Video recording option available
- Has the strong potential to compete with its counterparts
Cons of Eos R6
- 4k overheating at high Fps*
- Short Time Limit over 4k recording
*according to recent reports
Specifications: Canon Eos R6
Canon has managed to put forth the right combination of price and specifications in this specific camera. This camera has everything that anyone can dream of. It has 4k 60 fps video recording option, 5 axes In-body image stabilization (IBIS). All You need will be there in this camera or in a perfect camera in these days. Here are all its major specifications.
- Approx. 598 g (680 g with card and battery)
- 20fps silent shooting + Plus a 12fps mechanical shutter when you need it
- ISO 102,400
- 4K up to 60p
- 20-megapixel resolution
- DIGIC X image processor
Above are stated specifications of this camera for you. And they are certainly looking promising on paper. But it has competition from Sony.
4k video recording at 60 fps is one of the highlights of canon’s eos r6. It has a 20.1 Megapixel full-frame sensor. This could be a downside of this camera as higher megapixels count will lead to more processing loads and overheating. Its dual pixel CMOS AF II is able to recognize and track eyes, faces and animals. This is also one of the best improvements over previous technology. R6 has IBIS with eos r5.
Performance: Canon Eos R6
Canon managed to balance performance by hardware adjustments like reducing megapixels count. This camera might perform better with its specification set. Sony also walked on the same lines, further reducing megapixels count in Sony a7s iii to 12 megapixels. The real question is whether canon eos r6 has managed to get that right balance?
Sony A7s iii stills performance has compromised with this new 12 megapixels sensor. This may not be the case with canon eos r6 because of its slightly higher megapixels count.
Real Competitor to Eos R6 - The Sony A7s III
We have seen all the possible good things of Eos R6. But it has real competition from Sony. Sony has newly launched its flagship full-frame mirrorless, the Sony A7s III. And Sony similarly managed its camera to surely stay in this competition with canon. Sony a7s mark 3 focuses more on videography features like eos r6. This time sony’s camera looks more impressive because of new additions to its usability and overall improved design.
Sony A7s III features and specifications
This time Sony totally focused on a massive change in video capabilities of any of its camera.
- 12 Mp new sensor
- 4k 120p video recording
- Full hd 120p
- Improved AF
- Huge design change
Sony a7s III comes with its pros and cons similar to Canon Eos R6. Sony has added 12 Megapixel full-frame sensor to its a7s mark 3 compared to canon eos r6 20.1-megapixel sensor. Reports suggesting towards better performance of Sony a7s iii over canon’s eos R6. Especially when considered overheating and time limits at higher resolution and frame rates. While Sony a7s iii has low-resolution image capability for stills and slightly higher pricing than the predecessor.
For full review of Sony A7s III click here.
Canon Eos R6 conclusion
Eos R6 can be a great camera and canon has tried its best to come up with the right combination to get the best performance out of the box. In real-world condition actual performance needs to be tested more. This will tell us its actual capabilities. Now, it is the competition between canon eos r5, r6 and Sony a7s iii.
But with eos r6, canon has started working on regaining its undisputed leadership in the digital camera market.

ITW's Point-of-Care Ultrasound Program is helping shift health in rural Uganda
The point of care ultrasound program that Imaging the World has brought to Nawanyago Health Centre III is shifting the health of this entire community. Improved antenatal care, safe deliveries and husband involvement to highlight a few. There are fundamental elements to this program that make it unique in its success. Let me highlight a few that we can see in action this week during our visit:
Ultrasound Imaging: Sister Angela, the nurse midwife at Nawanaygo HCIII has been trained through Imaging the World’s unique ultrasound training program to perform and interpret ultrasound at the point of care.
The Cardiac Program: Identifying the prevalence of rheumatic heart disease in pregnant women, has been very successful since it was introduced in January. Team members from Children’s National Hospital were onsite this week.
Amy Scheel taking some time to do essential paperwork for the program. Dr. Craig Sable
Community Outreach: Sensitizing the community of the different ultrasound programs (Ob/gyn, cardiac, breast) is done by educating of the VHT (village health team) which in turn educate the community members. This outreach is a key component the success of the program.
Radiology resident Naiim Ali works with Village Health Team.
Education: Another unique program ITW has implemented is the US Lab. High school students from the USA come with the ITW team to learn about their ultrasound program in rural Uganda. During their visit the USA students meet with the Ugandan high school students to deliver education on pregnancy, risks of teen pregnancy, family planning and ultrasound, the technology of how it works and the role it plays during pregnancy. The students then see an ultrasound being performed at the clinic on a pregnancy women from the village. For most this is the first time they have seen an ultrasound.
This peer –to –peer educational program is empowering the youth of Uganda to make decisions about their future “based on choice not chance.” It also identifies the cultural barriers the youth in Uganda experience, which in turn allows us to consider possible solutions to these barriers that we can address through future outreach programs.

Buret Reading Practice
Reading a BuretAccurate reading of a buret depends on your ability to interpolate between the calibration lines on the buret. Properly performed, you can reliably read a buret to the nearest 0.01 mL. Test your ability to interpolate by reading the following images of burets containing varying amounts of iodine from vitamin C titrations.

Rate Dr. John Cooper
Dr. John Cooper's Ratings
Avoided me when I needed answers. Rushed through my initial appointment and left me feeling unheard. Consent papers were filled out wrong and I had to correct the procedure being done!!!!! Was away for my booked c-section. I heard the nurses say he was still out of town while I was waiting in the hospital. Waited all day and was finally sent home. +++added stress. He never did do my operation. Very dispointed.
I can't say enough good things about Dr. Cooper. He did a perfect job delivering our baby by C-section. Healthy baby, great stitching. He's also very reassuring, concerned and genuinely nice. If you need to have a c-section, he's the guy.
So kind and helpful, amazing doctor who didn't immediately jump to my weight being the cause of my infertility. Turns out I have a hormonal imbalance that explains so much. He's very compassionate and explained things in a way that was easy to understand.
I could not say enough good about Dr Cooper he is amazing, kind and so reassuring and calming. He has done 3 surgeries for me and they all went great I am hopeful that I don't have to have anymore but sad that I wontvsee him either but I would recommend him in a heart beat!! And Eileen is awesome as well so helpful and sweet!!!
Dr. Cooper is an extremely compassionate and caring doctor. I only wished that he could have told me that I had 2 options for my tubes at the beginning so that I would not need to endure 2 separate surgeries that took a year to do. So with any doctor I will now give my consent to whichever procedure(s) that are agreed upon to reduce time as well as frustration. Although both of my laporoscopy surgeries were unsuccessful, I trusted that I was in very competent hands. I highly recommend Dr.Cooper.
I loved seeing Dr. Cooper, she actually made me laugh when i was in extreme pain. He really cared about me and my pain and gave me 2 very good options to treat. I felt as if I had a choice in my health care. He explain everything in great detail and every drew very detailed pictures.
Loved having Dr. Cooper as my gyno, he was so kind, thorough in explaining my options and very efficient at getting me booked for my full hysterectomy, so quick in fact that they had my hospital stay already booked by the time I went in for my first appointment. I was thrilled with the service and level of care!!

I shot a young couple’s season portrait last night. So here, the explanation of my thinking.
This couple usually shoots a fall picture, but this time, their photographer wasn’t available and they left it a little late. So they hired me, and we did a Christmas-themed picture, since I happened to have been told Oakville has a large Xmas tree.
But there was little night – a night shoot. So this meant I combined a very slow exposure with a couple of flashes. You can see them here left and right in this pullback shot (you do know you always take a pullback shot, right, so you can see later what you did?):
One on the left with an umbrella; on on the right behind the couple, fitted with a grid. Both flashes on manual, fired using pocketwizards. 1/8 power (key) and 1/4 power (fill). The resulting picture:
And one more, my favourite from this shoot:
I would have added more lights perhaps given time, but this was a fairly quick shoot, plus it was freezing – literally freezing, around minus 5C. Try holding light stands at -5C. Not fun.
So I used a slow shutter: 1/4 sec at f/8 at 800 ISO. Why such a small aperture? Because I wanted depth of field. So that means a slow shutter and high-ish ISO in order to correctly expose for the tree. Then I add flash.
Note that I also tided up the ground in post, removing oil stains etc from the concrete.

Garwood P. Anderson
Paul’s New Perspective: Charting a Soteriological Journey
Downers Grove, IL: IVP, 2016.
Available at Amazon.com
Back in 2007 I wrote a book called The Saving Righteousness of God: Studies in Paul, Justification, and the New Perspective, where I tried to bring some sanity and sobriety to what was then some very fractious debates about Paul and the New Perspective, plotting a via media if you like. Written as an in-house Reformed debate, I was trying to show how one could hold onto the best of the Reformed tradition, while still embracing the best of the New Perspective. In sum, Reformed theology needed to grasp the social reality within which Paul worked out justification, while NPP advocates needed to be careful not to forget the vertical aspect of Paul’s theology of justification and not reduce it to a social epiphenomenon. Feedback on that book has been very positive and I’m glad to see that I have been acknowledged by many of my peers as moving the discussion along or at least opening up a third option in amidst the either-or debates that characterized the 90s and 00s.
Otherwise, here is the blurb I wrote:
Garwood Anderson’s study of Paul’s soteriology charts a bold course over the troubled seas of Pauline debate and among darkened clouds of theological dispute. He successfully shows that there is a way forward in the disputes about ‘justification’ and ‘ethnicity’―a way beyond the entrenched dogmatism and intractable polarities that have emerged. Anderson brings us to a peaceful oasis where the treasures of the old and the freshness of the new come together. Among his insights are the multidimensional nature of union with Christ and the overlooked significance of Paul’s sacramental realism for informing this discussion. This book is not the final word in the debate, but it is a good word―one that hopefully moves the discussion about Paul, justification and the New Perspectives along.

The Foreign Exchange
Talk about a great find. While you all are just becoming acquainted with the skills of Phonte and Little Brother... Just when you're thinking to yourself, "Damn, dude has skills." Then The Foreign Exchange summons from the underground to the Hip Hop world. The Foreign Exchange is a group composed of Phonte and Netherlands producer, Nicolay. The two started off by just exchanging music over message boards before ever meeting. Nicolay would put together the beat then send them to Phonte through instant messages, email, and traditional mail. Phonte would then spit to goods and send them back to be mastered. They didn't meet physically until they started touring for the first album (Connected). Talk about technology. Wow!
But wait... that's not the most surprising part. Many of you will cop the album looking to hear Phonte spitting crazy as usual, but you'd be hard pressed to find the same old Phonte. Dude is humming... harmonizing... SINGING. Without the T-Pain Tone either. Of course it wouldn't be the same without some spitting though.
Now they have completed their 2nd album together and not many people have been talking about it. It's a smooth jazz, hip hop feel that easily will be adopted by older heads. The 2nd album is called Leave It All Behind. Now the two can work in a much easier capacity as they both live in North Carolina now.
Listening to this album is like waking up on Sunday morning, and sitting on the porch on a warm sunny day. This is a testament to how creative and skilled these artists are today. Not many rappers are willing to take a risk such as this... let alone be successful at it. Shout out to Phonte and Nicolay for blessing us all with something fresh and organic. Get up on it people.
Keep Hip Hop Alive, One Bar at a Time.

About the project
The proposed research will assess the coastal vulnerability of the Town of Lincoln, Ontario. The lake is part of the St. Lawrence Seaway which includes the Great Lakes, St. Lawrence River and the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River watershed are of great importance, holding 20 per cent of the earth’s freshwater and containing one of the most diverse selection of species of plants, wildlife, and fish globally. Climate change trends for the Niagara Region include increased annual precipitation, frequency of heavy rainfall events, and high wind events, which will have direct impacts on the coastline.
In 2017 and 2019, Lincoln experienced flooding events with record high water levels resulting in the damage of many roads near the shoreline and the first-time voluntary evacuation of residents from their homes due to a flooding event. The assessment of coastal variability is therefore critical for Lincoln as they plan future development along Lake Ontario and its tributaries and seek to build resilience of their coastline.
Research conducted by: Meredith DeCock, Master of Sustainability Candidate
Supervisor: Dr. Liette Vasseur
Research Ethics Board Approval No: 18-063
Part of the research project will include a photograph comparison of different areas of the shoreline. Photographs are a snapshot in time; however, when compared to historical or present-day photographs, they can reveal changes over time.
Meredith DeCock, the master’s student on the research team, is looking for photographs of the shoreline itself, or, of the surrounding environment and development. Photographs that show shoreline destruction due to high water levels or storm events are also of interest. Photographs from anywhere along the shoreline from any year will be of value; it is not necessary to have a series of photographs from the same point over multiple years.
Deadline: Oct. 30, 2019
Submit photographs to: Meredith DeCock at email@example.com@brocku.ca
- Please try to limit the number of photographs submitted to no more than 20 per person. Select the photographs you consider to be the most impactful.

TORONTO, May 15, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- A new study published in the Journal of Food Protection found that an innovative organic pasteurization, non-thermal technology called Neo-PureTM eliminates pathogens effectively, without damaging chia and flax seed nutrients, germination ability or shelf life.
Consumer demand is rising for nuts and seeds, and food processors have to process more volume and ensure that food is safe to eat. Neo-Pure from Agri-Neo is the only organic, non-thermal pasteurization solution for low-moisture foods that provides a 5-log reduction of Salmonella while maintaining the natural nutrition and germination ability of seeds, nuts and grains.
"Most pasteurization methods currently used by food processors compromise the nutrition of food during the process," says Dr. Amir Hamidi, Food Safety Science Leader at Agri-Neo who led this research study. "Seeds are one of the fastest growing healthy food choices, and it's important that food processors are producing safe food and maintaining the full nutrients and shelf life consumers expect."
The study demonstrates the efficacy of an organic, non-thermal pasteurization solution and its impact on four critical components to food processing. The objective of the research was to analyze the Neo-Pure pasteurization method and assess its impact and effectiveness on pasteurizing chia and flax seeds. The study analyzed the following processing concerns: pathogen reduction, germination ability (sprouting), nutritional value and rancidity levels.
"Most food safety research studies focus solely on the efficacy to eliminate microbes and not its impact on food quality," adds Dr. Hamidi. "This study validates a safe, organic solution for consumers and food processors that effectively pasteurizes low-moisture foods and that maintains the high-value nutrition people want."
Researchers tested samples of raw un-sprouted black chia seeds and un-sprouted brown flax seeds. They infected the seeds with harmful Salmonella bacteria and then pasteurized them with the Neo-Pure Food Safety System to test its efficacy for eliminating pathogens. Lastly, the researchers evaluated the seeds' ability to germinate as well as the seeds' nutrient content and rancidity.
The Neo-Pure organic, non-thermal pasteurization process achieved a 5-log reduction of pathogens, meeting industry-wide food safety standards. Data confirmed that the Neo-Pure solution produced more than a 5.31 average log reduction of pathogens for flax seeds and 5.17 for chia seeds.
Results indicated that the Neo-Pure pasteurization process did not significantly impact the natural ability of chia or flax seeds to germinate. Researchers compared the nutritional value of raw seeds to the treated seeds. Both of the seed variations maintained natural levels of the key nutritional and sensory characteristics consumers desire after treatment and showed no significant change from the raw state.
Agri-Neo will present the research at the International Association for Food Protection (IAFP) 2019 Annual Meeting in Louisville, Kentucky on July 23 at 9:30 a.m. EDT. Three accredited labs collaborated to conduct the study, including the Agricultural and Food Laboratory of the University of Guelph, AGAT Laboratories and Illinois Crop Improvement (IL Crop).
Editor's Note: Agri-Neo scientists and food safety experts will be available at the INC World Nut & Dried Fruit Congress, May 23 to 25, 2019, for interviews. Please contact Hannah Minton at [email protected] to schedule an interview time.
The Agri-Neo mission is to help safely feed the world by creating technology that sets new food safety standards. Neo-PureTM from Agri-Neo maintains the nutrition that flourishes naturally in seeds, nuts and grains, and supports the health and well-being of people who eat them. Since 2009, Agri-Neo has invested significant resources in research and development with a dedicated team of food scientists, researchers and engineers.
