IMAGEMAKERS OF THE FUTURE!! (part1)
Since that day a few months ago, when I sat down with some friends from the Bali Creative Community to see if anyone was interested in doing a major photo festival for Indonesian photography in Bali in 2010, things started rolling fast. Fairly quickly the board established itself: Rudolf Dethu of Suicide Glam, Ayip of Matamera design, Marlowe Bandem as well as Robin Malau (who came on temporarily to help us out with IT). Soon some of my fellow “senior” Indonesian photographers, Firman Ichsan, Oscar Motuloh, Tara Sosrowardoyo, and Darwis Triadi were on board as co-curators.
From overseas Raghu Rai (Magnum, India), Linda Connors (who teaches photography at San Fransisco’s School of Fine Arts and works with 8×10″), and John Stanmeyer of VII expressed serious interest in participating. All three are very inspiring photographers and we are thrilled to have their support!
We did a little teaser at the digital forum event, FGD, in Jakarta at the beginning of August 2009, and then Alila hotel Ubud generously offered us a venue for our first pre-event, Imagemakers of the Future, an exhibition featuring young upcoming Indonesian photographers. That event will take place this coming 10th of October at 5 pm at the Alila Ubud.
In the coming weeks I will feature some of the photographer’s involved on this blog. Today we’ll start with Andika Wahyu. (the original Indonesian is featured below)
I, Andika Wahyu, was born in Kebumen, Central Java on the 14th of July 1983. I first became interested in photography because of my admiration for the photos
I saw in newspapers when I was primary school. I had so many questions running around in my mind. Slowly the answers revealed themselves when I
Became more involved in photography during my time in the student activity unit,
FCC (Fisip Fotografi Club) at the Universitas Sebelas Maret in Surakarta
In the beginning of 2001. While I was completing my degree in comunication sciences at UNS I had the opportunity to do on the job training at the sports
Tabloid â€œBolaâ€ and also at the Aantara news agency. After completing my studies I joined Antara Foto-Indonesia Press Photo Agency as a photojournalist
In 2006, and continue to work there now.
PHOTOGRAPHY for me is a miraculous tool, the stopper and freezer of time, and a media for contemplation. Regarding photographyt in Indonesia I would just
like to emphasize that we shouldnâ€™t just judge photography from the esthetic point of view. The debate and discussion about the esthetic aspect is over. We are waiting for photography to play abigger â€œroleâ€ in Indonesia so that it can bring more benefit to the people.
Saya, Andika Wahyu lahir di Kebumen, Jawa Tengah pada 14 Juli 1983.
Ketertarikan pada fotografi berawal dari kekaguman pada foto-foto yang
terpampang di koran-koran waktu saya masih di sekolah dasar. berbagai
macam pertanyaan berkecamuk dalam diri waktu itu. dan perlahan
jawabannya mulai terkuak ketika saya mulai terlibat lebih dalam dengan
fotografi di unit kegiatan mahasiswa (UKM) Fisip Fotografi Club (FFC)
Universitas Sebelas Maret Surakarta di awal tahun 2001. Selagi
merampungkan studi di jurusan Ilmu Komunikasi UNS, saya berkesempatan
melakukan on job training sebagai fotografer di Tabloid Olahraga BOLA
dan Kantor Berita Indonesia ANTARA. Setelah merampungkan studi saya
bergabung dengan Antara Foto-Indonesia Press Photo Agency-sebagai
pewarta foto mulai tahun 2006 sampai sekarang.
FOTOGRAFI bagi saya adalah alat ajaib, sang penghenti dan pembeku
waktu, serta media kontemplasi. Tentang fotografi di Indonesia, saya
hanya ingin menekankan bahwa janganlah fotografi hanya dinilai dari
aspek estetis saja…perdebatan dan perbincangan aspek estetis telah
selesai…menunggu fotografi di Indonesia lebih “berperan” dengan
segala kelebihannya agar lebih bisa membawa manfaat bagi masyarakat…

The Basics of Poker
In a game of poker, the odds of winning depend on the hands of players. To start a game, players must ante (amount varies by game) and then place their bets into the pot in the middle. The highest hand is the winner. Betting continues in a clockwise direction until everyone has folded their cards or called. Depending on the type of poker you’re playing, a player can be the first to reveal their hand.
Poker has many different variations. The game has many apocryphal origins, but it is generally believed that the game originated in 17th century France, where it was known as poque. Later, the game became known as primero and was adapted to English and German. The French brought the game to North America, where it is still played today. It is believed that Jonathan H. Green coined the term “poker” after observing a game that involved playing with only a deck of twenty cards.
There are different game structures, including three-card stud and draw, pot-limit and no-limit. The betting intervals in each game differ, but the most common are fixed-limit, pot-limit, and no-limit. In fixed-limit poker, the initial bettor must bet at least X, and the player who raises by more than X must also raise. In pot-limit poker, the bettor may bet any amount up to the size of the pot, so long as it exceeds the previous bettor’s total bet.
In stud and draw poker, players place bets based on their cards. A player with two pair or higher wins. Depending on the type of game, the limit is often twice the amount of bets the previous player had. In other variations, players can bet as much as they have, or as little as one-third of their available chips. If you’re playing a lowball game, consider switching versions of the game to see which one you like best.
Almost all games of poker use poker chips. For games of seven or more players, poker chips are supplied. The lowest-value chip is the white chip. The red chip is worth five whites. The blue chip is worth two, four, or five reds. Each player purchases a chip to “buy in,” and buys it at the start of the game. This is a tradition that has endured for centuries. But not all games are created equal.
A player with two pairs of cards, plus a fifth card, wins the game. If two people have identical hand ranks, they tie and share the winnings equally. If there are two identical hands, they split the winnings. In this case, the high pair wins, and the second pair is the lower. If both players have pairs, but one of them is a high pair, the higher card breaks the tie. The highest unmatched card or a secondary pair is the winner.
While there are variations of poker rules, most games involve ante and blind bets. Blind bets are bets that are made before the cards are dealt to players. This is called the “small blind.” The player who is left of the button must make a blind bet before being allowed to check. The player who calls the blind bet must call before being able to check their hand. This is the most basic type of poker game, but a lot of people play it for its excitement.

The anti-corruption association Sherpa, the Ethique sur l’étiquette collective, the Uyghur Institute of Europe (IODE) and a Uyghur woman who was interned in Xinjiang province (north-western China) are targeting the offences of concealment of four crimes: crimes against humanity, genocide, aggravated reduction to servitude and trafficking in human beings as part of an organised gang.
The complaint, filed on Tuesday, should lead to the appointment of an investigating judge.
The plaintiffs want to uncover “the possible responsibilities of multinational clothing companies that profit from the forced labour of Uyghurs for the manufacture of their products”, stating that “one cotton garment in five could be tainted by the forced labour of Uyghurs”.
The crimes against humanity unit of the National Anti-Terrorist Prosecutor’s Office (Pnat) closed a preliminary investigation in April, which was opened in June 2021 after an initial complaint, causing “incomprehension” among the complainants.
They accused Uniqlo France (owned by the Japanese group Fast Retailing), Inditex (which owns the brands Zara, Bershka, Massimo Duti), SMCP (Sandro, Maje, de Fursac…) and the shoe manufacturer Skechers of marketing products manufactured in whole or in part in factories where Uighurs are subjected, according to these associations, to forced labour.
Their number is sometimes estimated at more than one million. The plaintiffs also believe that these companies do not justify sufficient controls on their subcontractors.
Their lawyer, William Bourdon, hopes that the French justice system will “recognise the competence” of the case “on the basis of concealment of crimes against humanity.
“The textile companies will have to account for having knowingly enriched themselves, at the cost of the most serious international crimes, on the back of a purely facade of ethical communication,” he added.
At the time of the first complaint, the four groups had denied any use of forced labour. In addition to these four names, other major groups (Nike, Adidas, Shein, etc.) are targeted by similar accusations.
Washington and several other countries have accused the Uighur Muslim minority of “genocide” and the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights of crimes against humanity.
These accusations are rejected by Beijing, which presents the re-education centres denounced by the West as vocational training centres designed to combat religious extremism and ensure social stability. (AFP)

The representatives of the Italian rhythmic gymnastics team, who won the gold medals of the FIG Rhythmic Gymnastics World Cup in Baku in the exercise with five hoops, told to a correspondent of Vestnik Kavkaza, that there are tremendous conditions for the gymnastic tournaments in Baku.

In late July of this year, the British government announced its intention to offer a new UK Work visa targeting “high potential individual visa uk” as part of a broader government “innovation strategy” aimed at drawing global talent to the country and fueling investment within it. The visa, which seeks to attract internationally mobile individuals, has no job offer required for top university graduates who seek to enter the UK. What are the requirements for High Potential Individual visa? Let’s explore what we know about this new visa category—the kind of applicants it targets, how long they can stay on it—and more, below.
While the UK currently offers numerous types of work visas to foreigners who are looking to immigrate to the country, many of them (such as the Skilled Worker visa) require that an applicant have a job waiting for them in the UK as part of their eligibility conditions (as an additional barrier to would-be immigrants, the Skilled Worker has certain eligibility requirements for employers as well as minimum salary requirements). Historically, the purpose of this specific job requirement for UK Work visas was to prevent individuals from entering the country without a guaranteed source of employment—and therefore income—and becoming a drain on the UK economy. However, while this policy has certain advantages, it has also effectively prevented internationally mobile individuals from taking their talents to the UK. Recognizing how difficult it can be for foreigners—even those with exceptional talent and skills—to find and receive an offer of employment in the UK from outside the country, the British government has committed to launching a work visa without a job offer requirement that is eligible for foreigners who are exceptionally educated. Under the terms of the new route (which is not yet available to applicants) non-UK nationals who are graduates of the highest-ranked international universities will have the opportunity to apply for this “High Potential Individual” UK Work visa.
For more insight into the upcoming High Potential Individual visa, contact us here.

He continued his education at the University of Michigan – Ann Arbor, where he graduated with his Doctorate in Dental Surgery (D.D.S.) in 1976. Our dentist is committed to continuing his education and he takes about a course a month. Dr. Werschky stays current with the latest in dental technology. Our dentists are trained in laser dentistry, we use digital radiographs, and we use CariVu™ to scan teeth for decay.
In July of 1976, Dr. Werschky returned to Flint to begin his dental practice. He is extremely involved in the dental community and served as President of the Michigan Dental Association from 1993-94. His involvement in the dental community also includes the American Dental Association Council on Dental Practice, state and local peer review committees, and he has served as the Executive Director of the Genesee District Dental Society since 2007. In addition, Dr. Werschky is a fellow in both the American and International College of Dentists.
Since there is no cookie cutter approach to dental care where “one size fits all,” Dr. Werschky’s goal is to provide personalized dental care. He would like everyone to attain and sustain a healthy mouth, whether it be through braces, cosmetics, or dentures, throughout their lifetime. In this day and age, there is no reason for a person not to have a great smile and a healthy mouth.
The success of an office starts at the top with an educated, engaged, and committed dentist. Dr. Werschky’s practice has thrived because of the professionalism and skills of an energetic staff. We have a motto: “We care beyond the chair.”
Dr. Werschky resides in Flint with his wife Jan. They have been married since 1971. He has two adult daughters, Jill and Jori, who both work with him.

Her membership in professional organizations such as the American Dental Association and the Michigan Dental Association allows Dr. Jori to continue learning, training, and growing in the field of dentistry. Dr. Lewis is also involved at the local level of organized dentistry, serving as a board member of the Genesee District Dental Society.

So i have seen a few post about removing the back seats.. Hopefully This Works..
Start By Folding Down The Rear Seats (via the 2 realease buttons in the trunk)
On Both Ouside Edges Of The Rear Seats SHould Be A Pivot Point
Using A Flat Head Screwdriver (farly bigger Size), There is a tap that needs to be pished out to relase the outerside of the seat (shown a bit more in the next picture)
In the next picture you can see how the re4lase mechanism works the first is of it closed (holding the seat in)
This one is on the mechanism realeased(its not much movement but if you look closely you can see hte relase pushed out
When the outer edge is relase pull up on it (not too hard) when the outer edge comes out slide the seat to the outer part of the vehicle and the other side will be realeased (applies for both side, shown is passanger)
WHen both back rests are out now it is time to tackle the seat itself....
You notice that the seat sits underneath the plastic in the corners.
pull up both corners so it looks like (below)
With Both Corners Now Released Pull The Back Of the Seat Up (remembering to take the seat belts out of the slots)
In Order To Release The Seat There Are Two places that hold it down (in the middle of the passanger side, if you where sitting in between your legs), and in the middle of the driverside, if you where sitting between your legs like the pic below (and yes i actually sat down and took a pic between my legs
give the seat a nudge in those two points in order to release the rear seat....
the seat should come loose...
I will continue to try and do an install.... but its a rvers and the only tough part is putting the seat back in (you have to line up the hold down tabs and push it in all at the same time)
With The Seat Pulled up in te middle of the passanger seat the


WWII US bomb detonated in Munich
29 August 2012 Last updated at 10:40 BST
An unexploded World War II bomb found in Munich has been detonated after a bomb disposal team said it could not be defused.
The detonation happened shortly before 22:00 local time (20:00 BST) in the Schwabing district and was heard across the city, local media reported.
The bomb had been discovered on Monday night by building workers at the site of an old bar that was being demolished.
Experts said they decided it was not possible to defuse the 250kg (550lb) device because it did not have a mechanical fuse like others of its age, but one operated by means of a chemical reaction.

When it comes to monitoring weather conditions, having a weather station at home is a great way to stay informed and prepared for any changes in the forecast. With so many different options available on the market today, choosing the right weather station can be a daunting task. A weather station can provide information on temperature, humidity, wind speed, rainfall, and more. It can also send alerts to your mobile device, giving you ample time to react to drastic weather conditions. It’s important to consider the features you need and your budget when choosing a weather station. This blog post will guide you through all the important factors to keep in mind when choosing the right weather station for your home. By the end of this post, you will be equipped with the knowledge needed to make an informed decision about which weather station is best suited for your needs.
When choosing a weather station, one of the first things to consider is the type of display you prefer. Some weather stations come with a simple LCD display, while others may offer a more advanced display with touch screen functionality and color graphics. The type of display you choose will depend on your personal preference and how much information you want to see at a glance. If you want a weather station with a more advanced display, be prepared to pay a higher price.
A touch screen display can make it easier to navigate the different features of a weather station. With just a few taps, you can access information about temperature, humidity, and other weather conditions. A touch screen display can also make it easier to set up the weather station and customize the settings to your liking.
A simple LCD display can be more budget-friendly and easier to read in bright daylight. It can also provide a more straightforward approach to weather monitoring, allowing you to quickly glance at the display and get useful, basic information without too much fuss.
Another important factor to consider when choosing a weather station is the types of sensors it comes with. Different weather stations will have different types of sensors based on what you need to monitor. Common sensors include temperature, humidity, wind speed, and rain gauges. Decide which information is the most crucial for your needs and ensure the weather station you choose has those sensors available. Keep in mind that certain sensors may not be standard and may need to be purchased separately.
There are many different types of sensors available on weather stations, including UV sensors, soil moisture sensors, and atmospheric pressure sensors. Depending on your needs, you may want to invest in additional sensors to get a more complete picture of the weather and environmental conditions in your area.
If you want to receive alerts or data from your weather station while away from home, make sure it has a transmission range that is suitable for your needs. Transmission ranges can vary depending on the weather station, so it’s important to do your research and make sure it will work for your specific situation. Some weather stations have a range of up to 1 mile or more, while others may have more limited ranges.
There are a few different ways that weather station data can be transmitted, including Wi-Fi and cellular networks. Wi-Fi can be a convenient option if you have access to a strong Wi-Fi signal at home, but it may not be feasible if you live in a rural area with limited connectivity. Cellular networks can be more reliable, but they may come with additional costs for data plans or require a separate cell signal booster.
In today’s world, having access to data remotely is becoming increasingly important. Some weather stations have their own mobile apps that can be used to receive alerts or monitor data remotely. This can be useful if you are away from home frequently and still want to stay informed about the weather conditions in your area. Make sure to check if the weather station you are interested in has a mobile app available, and if so, make sure it’s compatible with your device.
Weather stations can vary in price depending on their features and quality. It’s important to determine how much you are willing to spend and choose a weather station that fits within your budget. Keep in mind that more expensive weather stations may come with additional features and sensors, but a higher price tag doesn’t always guarantee a better product. Look for weather stations that balance your needs and budget.
It’s also important to consider the long-term costs of a weather station. Some weather stations require ongoing maintenance or replacement parts over time. Make sure to factor in these costs when evaluating your budget for a weather station.
Choosing the right weather station for your home is an important decision that requires careful consideration of your needs and budget. When choosing a weather station, consider the type of display you prefer, the available sensors, the transmission range, mobile app compatibility, and your budget. It’s important to find a weather station that provides the information you need to stay informed and prepared for any changes in the weather. With the right weather station, you can monitor the weather conditions in your area with ease and peace of mind.

The great wildebeest migration starts anytime between late April and early June. And if you are interested in seeing the grand spectacle of wildebeest crossing the Grumeti or Mara Rivers, you should plan your trip around late July or early August. However, it is important to note that the timing of herd movements can vary.
Is Tanzania a family-friendly safari destination?
Tanzania is an excellent safari destination for families. The country has one of the most diverse wildlife populations in Africa, and there are countries with action-packed game drives that your children might enjoy. Furthermore, many of the destinations are quite affordable for family safari holidays. The only caveat is that Tanzania falls under Africa's malaria belt. Thus, traveling with children under six years of age is not recommended. Many safaris have age restrictions due to safety concerns.

Unique breakfast offering. About $14. Coffee, tea, juices included. Not your typical buffet. Order from the menu as many offerings as you wish, one after the other. Good coffee. Fresh fruit and pastries start the meal. After belgian waffles topped with blueberries, whipped cream and chocolate savings, we ordered eggs Benedict. Mine was a seafood variety topped with hollandaise sauce and heavy paprika. Quite salty. The orange juice tasted fresh squeezed. The typical ham, bacon, or sausage and eggs with hash brown and toast is not on the menu! Be prepared for crepes, waffles, benedicts or ham Wellington. They have a lovely huge salt water aquarium. Go for the ambiance.

Last month, four-star Air Force General Philip Breedlove arrived in Washington to brief Congress on Russia’s mobilization on its border with Ukraine and the options available for the US and NATO — the latter of which Breedlove leads as Supreme Allied Commander. Breedlove, who is also the head of European Command for the Pentagon, got sent back early in order to consult with allies. However, a new exclusive from Eli Lake suggests his abrupt return to Europe may have been driven by a split with the White House over aid to Ukraine:
During classified briefings on March 26 and March 27, Gen. Philip Breedlove painted for members of the House Armed Services Committee a bleak picture of Russia’s actions—and warned that the United States was not taking steps it could to help Ukraine better defend itself. On several points—from estimates of Moscow’s troops to intelligence-sharing with Russia’s likely adversaries—Breedlove’s briefing directly contradicted the message coming from other branches of the Obama administration.
Breedlove, a four star Air Force general, was careful not to tell members of Congress anything that directly undermined the authority of the Commander-in-Chief during his March briefings. But lawmakers and Congressional staff members who attended these sessions say it was clear that Breedlove felt he was stifled to respond adequately to the crisis in Ukraine.
The quiet protests from one of Obama’s most important generals at the moment reveal an important policy rift inside the administration. While President Obama, the joint chiefs of staff and Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel have hesitated to provide too much assistance to the interim government in Ukraine, Breedlove has wanted to do more.
In a statement for The Daily Beast, Breedlove acknowledged that he met with members of both parties in Congress in the last week in March. “I provided my estimation of Russian capabilities and that estimation was well-received by the Members. As these sessions were classified, I can only get into generalities.” Breedlove added that he discussed a number of issues including the U.S. consideration of non-lethal aid to Ukraine. “I was clear that our efforts were aimed at reassuring our NATO Allies and European partners of our commitment and resolve,” he said.
Members of Congress, Congressional staff and U.S. defense officials say Breedlove has wanted to brief Ukraine’s military on the detailed intelligence U.S. spy agencies had gathered on Russia’s troop movements and analysis of Russian war plans.
This puts quite a different spin on the earlier news about satellite photos released by NATO. Breedlove was the one who released them, and made it clear why on his Twitter feed:
Russian forces around Ukraine fully equipped/capable to invade. Public denial undermines progress. Images tell story http://t.co/vQ0z2OM5I4
— Phil Breedlove (@PMBreedlove) April 10, 2014
Here is a report on Breedlove’s return from two weeks ago:
Breedlove’s abrupt departure looks like it was motivated by other interests than just getting a closer look at the Russian threat. It prevented his scheduled testimony last week to the House Armed Services Committee about the specifics of that threat, and Breedlove’s input on how best to respond to it. Mike Rogers, who chairs the committee, has a bill that would authorize specific areas of intelligence sharing with the interim Ukraine government, at which the White House has balked so far. Rogers told Eli Lake that the bill intended to respond to Breedlove’s recommendations, but that legislation is really too slow — and that the White House should be taking Breedlove’s advice directly.
Until now, Breedlove appears to have carefully picked his modes of dissent from the administration’s Ukraine strategy. Ironically, today is the 63rd anniversary of the firing of Douglas MacArthur for his attempt to publicly take control over war policy from Harry Truman, which was deeply unpopular at the time but served as a strong precedent for civilian control over the American military. The President has control of foreign policy, including military and intelligence strategy, and for good reasons — even when we don’t necessarily agree with the previous election’s results or the policies. If this is truly a split that’s going public, then both Breedlove and the White House will face some difficult choices, and soon.
Update: Someone’s a fan of this story …

The bioinput sector had a prominent position and received an exclusive sector at the AgroBrasília 2023 Fair, which had special coverage by AgroPages.
The event, held last week in the Brazilian capital, featured stands from various exhibitors, with launches of products made by major brands with cutting-edge technology.
Bioinputs are increasingly popular among Brazilian producers and have been encouraged through purchases financed with the help of bank credit.
The largest Brazilian private bank, Itaú announced the availability of BRL 500 million until the end of the year for the loan to facilitate the purchase of biological inputs for the 2023/2024 harvest.
One of the novelties this year was the presence of the company Moara Bioinsumos, which presented its ″high technology″ biological products.
Luiz Fernando Sibut, CEO of the company Moara Bioinsumos, stated that biological pesticides are still cheaper than conventional ones.
″The main advantage is using a multipurpose product, which controls a greater number of pests, but which is not aggressive to the environment as it is made with microorganisms from the environment itself, manipulated in the laboratory,″ explained Sibut.
The name, Moara, originates from the language spoken by the Brazilian native peoples and means ″to help to be born″.
This is the concept defended by the company, which participated in the unprecedented stand dedicated to pulses and special harvests.
There, the results obtained with crops such as beans and other grains cultivated using bioinputs were presented.
In the market for two years and ten months, the company has its own laboratories and bioreactors to work with microorganisms, with controlled temperature, humidity, oxygen, and PH processes.
″All this helps us to have a well-formulated product with high efficiency in the field,″ Sibut said in conclusion.

In case you have music, video, data or other valuable digital file within your hard disk drive that you might want to share with you or sell, probably the most practical steps you can take is always to burn it on the CD or DVD and make up a nice cover and label correctly.
The least costly way to do this can be to design your own cover and label over a suitable graphic program for example Photoshop or free GIMP software and print them using peel and stick CD labels.
To make the CD cover or jewel case front title cover insert, you have to build a new project with the following dimensions: 1423 pixels X 1411 pixels. For any CD disc label you should create a new project with your dimensions: 1394 pixels X 1394 pixels.
Making a CD cover is pretty fun as well as simple even though you have a little designing background. But creating the CD label is surely an entirely different matter.
To begin with, you'll want to produce a perfect circle inside 1394 pixel X 1394 pixel canvas to place your artwork on. In addition, you should reduce other places outside of this circle and that means you tend not to print about the entire canvas and therefore save money on precious printer's ink whenever you print it. Centering texts and images inside circle can also prove difficult.
But the greatest difficulty comes during the printing and labeling process while using peel and stick CD label sticker. If this describes the first time and energy to take action, have off centered labels or labels with bubbles or creases in your CDs.
An off centered label creates an unbalanced disc which makes disc reading and writing slow. It may also destroy your CD drive. Unfortunately some CD label sticker makers use adhesives that melt on a certain temperature that can decrease your drive right into a gooey wreck. To avoid aforementioned from happening just use the emblem or the media your printer's manufacturer recommends.
Now do not let these items discourage you. With constant practice and using your graphics program, you'd soon perform on your path to creating your own art pieces on CDs that way.
But what if you need to create more professional-looking CD products plus much more easily? You can buy a printer having a CD Tray. A printer using a CD tray often be more pricey than the usual printer without one.
If you should produce good CD products, it needs to be worth forget about the. Incidentally, a printer equipped with CD tray often comes with a software that eradicates the irritation of eliminating other places away from disc design, and even more importantly, the need of while using the problematic peel and stick CD label stickers since printable CD-Rs include the printable media in combination with these printers.

Some rappers are driven by pure and simple love of the music, others by an insatiable appetite for paper. Booth newcomer The Narcicyst? Judging by inaugural EP song release Blame the Label, the Montreal/Dubai dual repper is motivated primarily by his crushing ennui with the wackness pervading today’s game—along with his burning desire to bang beautiful Al Jazeera anchors. Backed by MTL beatsmith Sandhill‘s cinematic string and harpsichord loops, the artist chronicles his dissatisfaction with contemporary hip-hop (“I got tired of the gat-clappin’ and the backpackin’...), before segueing into a (tenuously related) erotic fantasy starring Ghida Fakhry. Interest piqued? Then take a Leap of Faith and cop the rhymesayer’s latest project, released today.

While many market and economic measures have recently moved back to pre-recession
levels, we do not expect any major changes to central bank policy. Quite the
opposite, we think that the lack of inflation and the mixed employment picture
can keep the Fed liquidity spigots flowing for an extended period of time. The
release of today’s Fed minutes solidified the view that the Fed remains as
dovish as they have ever been. Six months does not, in fact, mean six months,
and dots are less important than words, as the minutes revealed that there was
little change in the committee’s accommodative reaction function. We feel that
many of the global markets have taken on a more risk-tolerant tone as of late,
with riskier currencies and assets, along with the emerging markets,
outperforming since last week’s employment report. We cite the all-time low
yields from Spain and Italy, along with Greece’s plans to return to market for
the first time since 2010, as affirmation of this risk tolerant overtone. U.S.
stocks have been suspiciously absent from this risk rally, although this
underperformance may change as earnings season gets under way. With a negative
EPS expectation for the S&P 500, the earnings bar is set fairly low,
although much of the analyst community will focus on finding data points
showing a full reversal of the weather’s impact on revenues. Corporate and high
yield spreads remain at 2007 tights, a trend that will likely continue given
the continued dearth of new issues and growing risk appetite. Read
the full commentary now.

Of course you do! It’s Eurovision on-season and time to plough through more songs than you can shake a stick at.
Today, it’s the turn of TRM (Moldova) to tempt us into the rabbit hole of Eurovision with twenty possible Eurovision entries.
The national final – O melodie pentru Europa – will feature no less than 28 songs, and TRM has made the lot available online. After their third place in 2017, you’d imagine everyone and his dog would be submitting songs to the competition. You’d be wrong. The 28 songs showcased by TRM are the 28 songs submitted in total.
A jury is vetting the songs now to eliminate those who chose to regard the rules as optional.
Still, it only takes one song to capture hearts, and if Sunstroke Project can do it, anyone can.
Brace yourselves, here they are …

Calculating how much annual income your clients need during retirement is a task many financial advisors may seek to address by relying on a simple percentage of pre-retirement income. According to a HealthView Services* report, 80% has become a widely accepted benchmark. But the same report, titled “Retirement Health Care Costs and Income Replacement Ratios,”* warns that the rapidly rising cost of health care casts doubt on the reliability of this ratio as an accurate projection tool.
Why doesn’t the 80% income replacement ratio work for health care? It’s because the calculation based on pre-retirement income may cover only a portion of health care costs often faced during retirement.
One factor to consider is health insurance. Many of your clients may receive a subsidy from their employer during their working lives to help cover insurance premiums. This subsidy may typically total 75% of the true cost of the insurance. The article suggests it’s not accurate to project this expense forward into retirement, because after they retire many clients may be responsible for the entire cost of health insurance, along with increasing co-payments and higher deductibles. The HealthView Services report says post-retirement costs can be higher even if clients qualify for Medicare, which is subsidized by the government.
Then there’s the matter of different inflation rates. Health care costs have been rising faster on an annual percentage basis than the general inflation rate. HealthView Services’ 2017 Retirement Health Care Costs Data Report* projects a continuation of this trend. This report predicts retiree health care expenses will rise at an average annual rate of 5.47% for the foreseeable future. That’s almost three times the U.S. inflation rate from 2012-2016.
Clients should be aware that inflation driving increases in Medicare premiums is calculated differently than inflation for Social Security purposes. (Background information on the Social Security COLA is available at http://ssa.gov/news/cola. Increases in Medicare premiums more closely reflect changes in prices for medical care. The Medicare website explains how Medicare premiums are calculated.)
HealthView Services says the difference between the general inflation rate and projected Medicare inflation can, over time, create a substantial shortfall in retirement savings. The shortfall may be even more acute for couples who earn over $170,000 per year in retirement and must, as a result, pay Medicare surcharges. The company, which produces health care cost-projection software, presents two case studies in its report on income replacement ratios that illustrate the potential impact of underfunding health care costs.
The use of income replacement ratios to estimate retirement needs may be suspect for reasons other than health care costs. A report for the Social Security Administration, “Income Replacement Ratios in the Health and Retirement Study,” explores questions such as:
- Which years of income should be included?
- Should preretirement income be in nominal dollars, or be price-indexed or wage-indexed to a particular year?
- Should income be measured before or after taxes?
There is some good news for your clients, however. If a potential retirement health savings gap is discovered soon enough, a modest additional annual retirement contribution can often reduce or eliminate the impact.

For those seeking to improve their gardening skills, metal raised garden beds could be the ideal choice. They give your yard a sleek, contemporary appearance, in addition to a number of advantages that regular garden beds just cannot match. In this comprehensive tutorial, we'll go over everything there is to know about metal raised garden beds, including their benefits and drawbacks. How to pick the best one for your requirements.
The longevity of metal raised garden beds is one of their main benefits. Metal garden beds are more resilient to severe weather, rot, bugs, and decay than wooden ones. They are a great option for time-pressed gardeners because they are also simple to maintain and clean. Because they are raised off the ground, metal raised garden beds can also help you conserve space and shield your plants from weeds and pests.
But you should weigh the disadvantages of metal raised garden beds before making a purchase. For instance, they could grow too hot in the sun, which would damage your plants by drying up the soil. Additionally, their cost may be higher than that of other garden bed designs. Furthermore, some people might not enjoy the industrial aesthetic they offer. Don't worry, though; in this thorough guide, we'll go over all of these aspects and more to help you decide if metal raised garden beds are the best option for you.
Compared to other garden bed designs, raised garden beds made of metal have many benefits. We'll look at the toughness, appeal, and simplicity of the upkeep of metal raised garden beds in this part.
The longevity of metal raised garden beds is one of their main benefits. Metal is a resilient material that can survive inclement weather, including intense rain, high winds, and frigid temperatures. Metal garden beds do not decay, distort, or break over time like wooden garden beds do. Additionally, they repel pests like termites that damage wooden garden beds.
You may give your garden a contemporary, fashionable appeal by using metal raised garden beds. You can select the one that most closely matches the style of your garden because they are available in a range of hues and patterns. You can paint metal garden beds to complement the colours in your garden or to give them a distinctive appearance. Additionally, you have more design freedom when constructing your garden because metal garden beds can be formed into a variety of sizes and shapes.
Compared to other garden bed materials, metal raised garden beds are simpler to maintain. Unlike wooden garden beds, they don't need to be stained or sealed on a regular basis. Additionally, metal garden beds are resistant to illnesses and pests, so you won't need to treat your garden bed with fungicides or pesticides. If you want to grow organic fruit, metal garden beds are an excellent option because they are also simple to clean and disinfect.
Selecting the appropriate material for metal raised garden beds is essential to ensuring their lifespan. Raised garden beds can be constructed from a variety of metal types, each with pros and cons of their own. Next we will introduce the galvanised garden raised beds.
Because they are inexpensive and long-lasting, raised garden beds are frequently made of galvanised steel. It is created by applying a zinc layer to ordinary steel, which aids in preventing rust and corrosion. Because it is resistant to weather, it is perfect for use outdoors.
The strength of galvanised steel is one of its primary benefits. Greater weight loads won't cause it to bend or warp, which makes it perfect for larger garden beds. Additionally, it is reasonably light, which facilitates easy mobility when required.
Gardeners do not need to be concerned about dangerous chemicals seeping into the soil. Garden soil lacks the acidity necessary to dissolve the zinc layer since it is neutral. Furthermore, zinc is a typical component of soil and a crucial mineral for plants.
Selecting the ideal spot for your metal raised garden beds is crucial before installation. Choose a location that gets six to eight hours of direct sunlight per day. Steer clear of places with excessive shadows since this may hinder the healthy growth of your plants. Additionally, picking a level, flat area will make it simpler to set up your garden beds.
It's time to clear the area after selecting the ideal spot. Eliminate any grass, weeds, or other vegetation that may have grown there. To get rid of the plants and weeds, use a shovel or a hoe.
Before assembling your metal raised garden beds, make sure your workspace is tidy.
It's crucial to level the ground after clearing the area. To get rid of any pebbles, sticks, or other trash that could be on the ground, use a hoe or rake. To make sure the ground is level, you might wish to use a level. It could be necessary to add soil to raise low locations or remove soil to decrease high spots if the ground is not level.
It's time to install your metal raised garden beds after the area has been cleared and leveled. To guarantee a successful installation, carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions and make use of the appropriate tools and equipment.
Planting landscaping fabric beneath your raised garden beds is also a smart move.
Your metal raised garden beds may create a lovely and fruitful garden for many years to come with a little bit of planning and maintenance.
It's time to consider upkeep now that your metal raised garden bed is assembled and populated. With regular upkeep, your garden bed will continue to produce healthy plants and look fantastic for many years to come. The following advice will help you keep up your metal raised garden bed:
For your plants to be healthy, you must water them. Water your plants on a regular basis, especially in the summer when it's hot and dry outside. To effectively water your plants, you can use a drip irrigation system or a soaker hose. This will guarantee that the water your plants receive is sufficient and not wasted.
Compared to conventional garden beds, aluminium raised garden beds typically require less ertilizer. This is so that the organic materials in the soil won't decompose since the metal substance will absorb and hold on to heat. To give your plants the nutrients they require to grow robustly and healthily, you should still think about routinely improving the soil.
An essential component of caring for your metal raised garden bed is weeding. As weeds spread quickly and take over your garden, be sure to get them out as soon as you see them. In order to stop weeds from developing in your garden bed, you may also utilise a weed barrier.
Another crucial component of caring for your metal raised garden bed is pest control. Aphids, slugs, and snails are examples of pests to keep an eye out for. As soon as you see any, take action to control them. To keep pests away, try using natural pest management techniques, including insect-repelling plants, companion planting, and DIY insect sprays.
You now know how to prepare the soil, choose the ideal size and form, maintain your garden bed, and weigh the benefits and drawbacks of metal raised garden beds. Additionally, you now know the various materials that may be used to construct metal raised garden beds, as well as the best choices.
Recall that raised garden beds made of metal are an excellent purchase for any gardener. They can resist severe weather conditions and are resilient and long-lasting. Your metal raised garden bed can last for many years with the right upkeep.
Metal raised garden beds are an excellent way to grow wholesome and delectable fruits and vegetables, regardless of gardening expertise level. Compared to conventional in-ground gardening, they have numerous advantages, including improved soil drainage, simpler plant access, and fewer weed and pest issues.
So go ahead and begin designing your raised garden bed made of metal right now. You can build a lovely and fruitful garden that will give you fresh, nutritious vegetables for many years to come with the correct tools and a little bit of know-how.

At least 15 trusts in England are said to be interested in new machine learning software designed to support the diagnosis of heart disease, which its developer is planning to offer for free to the NHS.
The machine learning algorithm, developed by Oxford-based start-up Ultromics, analyses echocardiogram images for signs of disease.
The system is said to be capable of spotting warning signs that might be missed by a clinician, so reducing the risk of a patient suffering a heart attack or other complications.
Ultromics hit the headlines over the festive period after it was reported its machine learning software could be rolled out to NHS trusts for free starting this summer.
CEO Ross Upton suggested the technology could save the NHS £300 million a year by reducing the number of people who are incorrectly sent for heart surgery, or are otherwise given the all-clear and later suffer a heart attack that requires treatment.
Upton told Digital Health News: “We realised there was a big problem in diagnosing coronary artery disease (CAD), in that when patients get referred for stress echocardiogram, clinicians miss one in five [CAD] patients.
“It seemed strange to me that clinicians weren’t attempting to quantify the images and were just looking at them by eye. We developed a system that could quantify the disease and is able to extract 80,000 measurements from the images, compared to a clinician, who will only look at about 10.”
The algorithm has been trained with over 120,000 echocardiogram images collected by Paul Leeson, professor of Cardiovascular Medicine at the University of Oxford, who developed the underlying technology alongside Upton.
Initial trials of the system have been undertaken at six cardiology centres across the south of England. Data collection is still ongoing and additional hospitals will take part in the study over the next year.
Results of the study, called Evarest, will be released later in 2018. If deemed a success, Ultromics’ technology will be rolled out to NHS trusts for free from the end of summer.
“The reason we’re giving it back for free to the NHS is because it was developed as part of research done with Oxford University and NHS, which enabled the innovation,” said Upton.
“A lot of companies do research in the NHS, then commercialise it in other countries and forget about it. They effectively just use the NHS for their research. We didn’t want to do that. We are commercialising it for other markets, but we’re first and foremost giving it back to the NHS and recognising that they’re a key part in this innovation.”
Upton said that at least 15 NHS trusts had contacted Ultromics showing interest in the software, although he was unable to specify which.
While he distanced himself from claims that the technology could “save the NHS”, Upton suggested that yearly cost-savings delivered by Ultromics could add up to billions in the long run.
He also explained there was no cost associated with training staff to use the system.
“The training is virtually nothing because it’s nothing that a cardiologist won’t already be able to do in their current clinical workflow,” Upton said.
“The software is designed to sit exactly within their clinical workflow, so they don’t have to change anything about their clinical practice.”
Rise of the machines
Proponents argue that a key benefit of the technology is consistency. Unlike human clinicians, who possess varying levels of experience can have their judgement impeded by environmental factors, it is argued machine learning can deliver the level of unmarred accuracy only afforded by computers.
“Someone in a community hospital at 8pm on a Friday who has seen 100-odd scans that day might not be making as good a decision as someone who’s at a leading academic centre,” Upton told Digital Health News.
“It’s about making things consistent, and making clinicians more accurate in their diagnoses.”
He said getting patients directly benefitting from the technology was the next step.
“When patients take part in research trials they often say, ‘it won’t benefit me, but it will benefit the next generation’. That’s not true in this case – it is going to benefit these patients, and we need to ensure that we get our system out and working in the NHS.”

Neon Sky,a Hillingdon-based alternative rock act with a party-hard attitude, hope to reach the same heady heights of their hero, Kurt Cobain, the late lead singer of Nirvana. SIBA MATTI spoke to drummer Luke Eustace to find out more
IN HOT pursuit of fame and fortune in that fickle state that is the music industry, is four-piece alternative rock group, Neon Sky, poised to emerge as the borough's next big talent.
The band was formed by lead vocalist and guitarist Alex Tarrent, who, at the tender age of 13, was inspired to pick up the guitar after seeing '90s grunge act Nirvana on television. He started writing songs soon after that and, being part of a musical family, he had good foundations on which to build his talent.
Six years later, Alex, now 19 and studying at Uxbridge College, decided to form Neon Sky, enlisting the help of lead guitarist Gareth Murray, 19, a student at Brunel University, barman Dan Murray, 19, on bass guitar and Luke Eustace, head of sales for an office company and also 19, on drums.
"Our influences are incredibly varied," explains Luke. "As a song writer, Alex is inspired by Elliott Smith,
Black Francis and The Beatles, but we all like Queens of the Stone Age, Motorhead and, of course, Nirvana.
"Dan really likes Iron Maiden, while I am heavily influenced by my love of rock music and the likes of Travis Barker, the drummer from Blink 182, as well as Steve Smith and The Rev.
"Our sound is very energetic, a cross between pop-punk and rock, with many songs that could potentially become anthems. We all work together and everyone makes a contribution towards making our sound unique."
Neon Sky are currently writing new material after releasing an EP, Sticks and Stones, in September, which sold 200 copies, despite the fact the group is unsigned.
They have also played a series of shows in the past few months, including regular appearances at the Crown and Treaty in Uxbridge, and at Trinity in Harrow, well-known for being a springboard for musical acts such as Kate Nash.
One of the highlights of the band's career so far was a gig at The Flag in Watford, alongside Mind Food, Flat Face and 13 Riots, in November.
Luke says of the experience: "One of my favourite things to do is play live shows and make sure the crowd is having as much fun as I am, and that's exactly what happened at The Flag - we had such an amazing night. We also managed to sell quite a few demos, so we have gained a small but important following, and would love to go back.
"Ultimately, we would love to build up a big enough following to play venues like Brixton Academy, Koko and the Barfly - every gig counts."
Neon Sky are playing at Fountains Mill in Uxbridge on Friday, and at The Dry Bar in Barbican next Thursday, December 18.
The band's motto is 'Keep an eye on the sky', and with their varied, dynamic, punchy vocals and passion for music, they are sure to be making a big impact in the not too distant future.
