Spearheaded by Managing Director Susie Wolff there will be seven events through 2024, and all will share the limelight with Grands Prix around some of the world’s most iconic race tracks.
Speaking ahead of the weekend, Lewis praised the growth of the series, and the progress made in the paddock to increase diversity in our sport.
“It’s a step in the right direction,” he said.
“I’m really proud of the work that Susie is doing with F1 Academy, she is a great spokesperson for it. It’s great to see the other teams embracing it too,” he added.
“There is definitely more diversity in the paddock. I have been here a long time and not seen so many women before so that is amazing. But there is still an awful lot more to be done.”

Michelle Rodriguez doesn’t want to resurrect her Avatar character in a sequel
Michelle Rodriguez has said she is not interested in returning to reprise her Avatar character, Trudy, in a futuristic sci-fi series. Talking to Vanity FairRodriguez said director James Cameron told her he was thinking of bringing Rodriguez back to the Avatar series, but she won’t be playing Trudy anymore.
Trudy, a pilot who helped the Na’vi in battle by sacrificing himself, heroically sacrificed himself at the end of the original 2009 Avatar. Rodriguez said she told Cameron about the possibility of resurrecting Trudy, “You can’t do that – I died a martyr, Jim.”
Rodriguez has been down this road before. She said that her characters in Resident Evil and Machete had returned in the later seasons after they were not allowed to do so and that she did not want to do it again.
“That would be overkill!” she speaks (through diversity). “I don’t get it, that’s weird. I guess they don’t know what to do with the girl who doesn’t have a boyfriend. ‘She doesn’t have a boyfriend. Should we keep her alive or kill her?'”
It’s unclear if Cameron has hinted that Rodriguez is returning to Avatar to play Trudy again or another character, which wouldn’t be uncharted territory for the sci-fi series. After all, Sigourney Weaver’s character, Dr. Grace Augustine, died in the original film. Weaver played a Na’vi girl named Kiri in The Way of Water, leading some to believe that Kiri might be the reincarnated Dr. Grace. However, that question remains unanswered.
Avatar and The Way of Water came in at number one and three as the highest-grossing films of all time. Avatar 3 will be released in December 2024, with evil Na’vi character for the first time. “I wanted to show the Na’vi from a different angle because so far, I’ve only shown their good sides,” Cameron said.
As for Rodriguez, she will appear next in Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, which hits theaters this weekend.

I’M DOING A SERIES OF POSTS AS I READ THIS BOOK; TERRY COLE-WHITTAKER‘S WHAT YOU THINK OF ME IS NONE OF MY BUSINESS. THE SUBTITLE IS ABOUT FOLLOWING YOUR INNER PATH TO HAPPINESS, SUCCESS AND SELF-FULFILMENT.
Chapter 13 is about “When it’s time to move on”…
“Divorce is one of the greatest causes of fear, pain anguish and guilt in our lives. Yet in its simplest sense, divorce means only that the form of a relationship has changed.”
One or both members of the relationship no longer choose to live together in the form called marriage. The divorce results in a legal and physical separation which had two sides. It usually brings out sadness and fear in the participants but it is also a chance for a new life.
The fear of loss which underlies all of the negative emotions in a divorce stems from confusion about the source of our good. We are never separated from the source from our power but our power can be used constructively or destructively to win or lose.
Your belief will determine whether you will use the power constructively or destructively. You have the choice.
How do you recognise one of these salvageable marriages?
Say you are contemplating divorce. You look around you and ask yourself: “if all of these other things that are destroying the marriage – the kids, the in-laws, the money, the garbage – if all of these things were handled and the problem taken away would I want to be in the marriage?. If the answer is truly yes, then clean up the mess.
If the answer is no, then get out because you are just kidding yourself.
Nida’s input here: Not sure I could include kids as something that can be “taken away”? As for children, a single happy parent is a more positive influence than two miserable ones.
What about being lonely?
Loneliness can occur in marriage or out of it. Again it’s the question of your belief system. Very often a person contemplating divorce is intimidated by family, friends, children and in-laws. They feel guilty because they do not approve.
To paraphrase the title of the book – “What others think of you is none of your business”!
It takes strength and self belief to make massive changes especially in marriage.
And what about the children?
Tell the truth and be honest. If you love your children, let them know the problem is between you and your mate. Don’t ever try and make the children hate the parent who has left. That is immoral and damaging to the child, who will then use this faulty belief system to create their own adult relationship and so the vicious circle continues.
Children are strong and can handle a lot if they are supported and loved and told the truth.
“I am an expert in my own life. I trust my own decisions “ .
Nida’s input: I have seen the sadness that divorce can cause to families. I have friends who divorced and my girls have friends whose parents have split up. It seems to me the greatest damage doesn’t come from the actual divorce but from how the separation is handled. No one marries with the intention of becoming unhappy and splitting up.
It has to be tough but remember always: “Whatever the question, the answer is love”.

I slept well despite having a top bunk, and I didn’t get going to explore Pamplona until 10:00. I was thrilled to toss aside my hiking boots for a day and to wear the lightweight sandals I’d worn traipsing all over Japan. I walked up along the city wall and stopped at a shady bench to write in my journal and admire the views. It would turn out I’d spend the entire day alone.
Pamplona is a university city with an expanding population of about 200,000 and long-standing ties to the Camino de Santiago.
I continued my walk along the wall, and then wandered aimlessly through the colorful city streets.
I stopped at a small tapas bar called Dom Luis and sat at the bar enjoying tapas – smoked salmon and avocado on toast with a refreshing white wine. It was so delicious, I ordered another: a phyllo bundle filled with potatoes and mushrooms and topped with a runny-yolked egg. Yum! It was quite hot today, about 85°F, so I was happy to sit inside, although the bar was open to the streets.
Immediately after I sat down, a huge parade cavorted past the bar, with oversized medieval characters dancing and turning to rousing band music. It was a wild spectacle, with whole Spanish families flowing happily along, some dressed to the hilt, some in costume, and others in lightweight summer clothes.
Apparently, this festival is the Privilege of the Union, which commemorates the unification of the three parts of the city (La Navarrería, San Cernín and San Nicolás) into one in a treaty signed in 1423 by King Carlos III. Before this unification, Camino pilgrims had been enticed to settle in Pamplona under special status, leading to hostilities between the pilgrim settlers and native inhabitants. With the Privilege of the Union, special status was extended to all parts of the disgruntled factions of the city, beginning an era of cooperation.
Each of the three boroughs at that time lost their individual walls and individual governments and opted to be governed by a single council and enclosed within the same city walls.
Feeling quite relaxed after the wine, I continued to wander around the town, around Plaza del Castillo, Pamplona’s main square with covered arcades and shops, and past the 12th century Iglesia de San Nicolas. I ran into several pilgrims, people I’d connected and spent time with since St. Jean, as they were exchanging numbers and making dinner plans. They seemed all caught up with one another, and I felt like an interloper. No invitation to join was forthcoming, so I continued on my way. I have never been one to linger where I don’t feel welcome, and I’ve also never been one to chase after people. I’d always rather bow out gracefully and let people have their space.
Continuing to wander, I came across legendary streets of cuesta de Santa Domingo and calle Estafeta where they have the running of the bulls during the San Fermín festival annually from July 6-14. This festival was made famous with the 1926 publication of Ernest Hemingway’s novel The Sun Also Rises.
I found the Hemingway Paseo, the bull ring, Plaza de Toros, and the famous monument to bull running. Pamplona’s bull ring was rebuilt in 1923. It seats 19,529 and is the third largest in the world, after the bull rings of Mexico and Madrid.
The monument to bull running is impressively evocative and vivid with its violent and frightening details.
After leaving the bull running area, I got caught in another parade of huge-headed figures marching and dancing in the streets, men on fake horses flogging people with sponges attached to sticks, whole Spanish families eating tapas and drinking wine and beer, bands playing lively tunes, men in matching uniforms clearing the streets. What a lively place to be, and quite by accident!
The streets reverberated with loud music, to which the characters were dancing. Locals clapped, laughed and took pictures while having the time of their lives.
After the crowds passed, I continued wandering around the city.
I walked past the Iglesia de San Saturnino, named after the patron saint of Pamplona. Saturnin was the first evangelist of the city. Originally Romanesque in style, it is now more Gothic in appearance.
The Citadel is the walled fortification built between 1571 and 1645 under the orders of King Felipe II of Spain, with a layout designed by an Italian military engineer. A sophisticated defensive system was devised, a rectangular pentagon, or star shape, with five bastions at the corners. The layout was supposed to make it impregnable. It is regarded as the finest example of military architecture from the Spanish Renaissance.
In the 20th century, it was converted to a park and is often used for shows and art displays.
It was quite hot walking around in the sun at the Citadel, so I sat for a while on a bench to orient myself. While looking at my guidebook pages, I saw that I would be passing the Citadel tomorrow morning on my way out of Pamplona. I was always happy to figure out my route out of a town the day before I started my walk the next morning.
I continued on through the leafy Parque de la Taconera, with its beautiful flower beds and café and past a statue back toward my albergue. After relaxing a bit, I made my way up to the city walls, where I stopped at a café for a drink and some people-watching.
I stopped into the Church of San Lorenzo, where I sat in silence for a while, offering up prayers of gratitude and supplication, asking for peace, self-fulfillment, and joy for myself and all my family and friends.
It seemed I was walking around in circles and several times felt totally disoriented. The town was splashed everywhere with graffiti. The town hall, or Casa Consistorial, dominated a small square with its baroque façade.
Since the Gothic 15th century Cathedral of Santa María la Real had been closed when I dropped by earlier, I made my way back to it. It was open, but no one was manning the desk, thus I was unable to get a stamp for my credenciale. I wandered around the Cathedral, stopping to admire the alabaster mausoleum of Carlos III El Noble and his wife Leonor of Navarre, with their idealized expressions, in the main nave. The monarchs of Spain used to be crowned here, and at one time it was the seat of the parliament of Navarre.
I went in search of a quiet street and dipped into the adorable Café de Pablo, where I enjoyed a tinto verrano (red wine with lemonade) and tapas – goat cheese, caramelized onions and green peppers on toast – and a jambon sandwich.
I didn’t really get much “rest” during my first “rest day” on the Camino, as I walked over six miles. Early in the evening, it started raining with a vengeance, and it was predicted to be pouring in the morning, when I would walk to Muruzábal.

A Stronger Founda-tion for Growth
Toyobo was founded as a textile
company in 1882.
Over the years, the Company has
adapted its business in accordance
with the changing times.
The most recent facet of this adaptation is a concentration of management resources in the fields of Films and Functional Polymers,
Industrial Materials, and Life Science, specialty businesses that draw on Toyobo's unique core technologies
modification, processing and biotechnology.
With this focus, we have moved into
an era of accelerating growth.
In the 1950s Toyobo began working on micro organisms as it needed a way of treating waste water from one its plants that processed pulp for rayon. Scientists in its laboratories discovered a type of yeast that consumed sugar in the waste water; thus substantially reducing the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) level. Toyobo then filtered out the yeast and marketed it as an animal food. As well, the proportion of nucleic acids in the yeast was discovered to be extremely high; therefore, they were separated out, and after research was carried out, processed for use in food seasonings.
In the 1960s, based on its world first success in commercializing uricase from Candida sp., Toyobo focused on research in the field of clinical chemistry. Toyobo now markets 60 kinds of material enzymes for diagnostic reagents. As with all its products, these reagents are of the finest quality available.
In the 1970s, Toyobo entered the molecular biology business. Its products in this area include various kinds of restriction endonucleases and modifying enzymes that have been derived from the remarkable technologies it developed in fermentation and purification over the previous decades.
Fermenter of yeast(1950s)
In 1997, the Quality Management System of the Tsuruga Bio Plant and the Tsuruga Institute of Biotechnology was approved in the USA, Germany, Holland, Australia and Japan by Lloyd's Register of Quality Assurance Limited (LRGA) as meeting the requirements of ISO9001: as are applicable to the development and manufacture of enzymes. Toyobo are also proceeding with R&D and manufacturing activities through the application of the environment management system of the Toyobo Tsuruga plant that was certified in 1999 by JAB and JIC as meeting the requirements of ISO 14001.
Today, Toyobo is able to provide scientist across the world with a wide variety of unique materials and reagent for application to lifescience research and industrial processes. Information about Toyobo's exclusive enzymes and reagents is available on this web site.
Toyobo looks forward to supporting your research and business enterprises with its technology and products.

Xylem's new pump rental and service branch in Dubai marks a new phase in the company's expansion in the Middle East and North Africa.
Global water technology firm Xylem Inc., manufacturer of Godwin and Flygt, has opened a new pump rental and service business in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, to serve the growing demand from the construction and infrastructure sectors, as well as municipal customers in the Middle East and North Africa.
The opening follows Xylem’s announcement in January of a $35 million investment in expanding its operations in the region. The investment, which will continue until 2018, will enable the localization of products and building local capabilities, including a pump manufacturing facility, a pump rental and services operation, and offices in the UAE, Oman and Qatar.
Xylem’s pumps and dewatering solutions ply a key role in various stages of construction projects by keeping project sites free of unwanted water during the build. Currently there are $390.8 billion worth of construction projects underway in Dubai.
“The Middle East and North Africa region is evolving at a rapid rate, with thousands of construction and infrastructure projects currently underway,” said Graeme Saunders, director of the dewatering business for Xylem MENA. “Our new local pump rental and service hub puts us in a very strong position to better serve our customers.”
“The new hub is part of a larger, significant investment we are making in the MENA region as we work to solve our customers’ critical water challenges,” said David Flinton, senior vice president and president of Xylem’s dewatering business. “Investment in the new hub also supports our global strategy to help build resilient communities by offering products and services to prepare for, respond to, and recover from extreme weather events including flooding and drought.”
Xylem’s new dewatering rental and service hub is now operational and is located in Jebel Ali, Dubai. The location provides pumping solutions from Xylem’s Flygt and Godwin brands.


Arizona artist BlakeShawn Music LLC recently dropped his latest single “Money (Remix)” [feat. Diego Money & Matt Ox]. This single is the second installment to his “Money” series. Growing up, BlakeShawn was intrigued by the artistry of rappers such as Missy Elliot, 50 Cent, & Eminem. He had been around music his entire life, but it wasn’t until 2017 that he finally made his music available on major streaming services.
The track is a culmination of heavy-hitting bass, trap hi-hats and wavy synths. The origin of the song is over 2 years in the making; in 2018, Blake was an opening act for Diego Money and has since been in contact with the DJ who booked him. Through that connection, he was able to secure the feature and create the original “Money” song. Then, for the 2nd installment, he was able to grab Matt Ox for a verse. Blake also recently released another single featuring Diego Money as well as Chop The Chef, called “CAP!“. Additionally, he has another project in the works titled ‘480 World’, slated to drop 4/19/21. Be on the lookout for it!

In hope to increase the tourism industry in Beijing, China, the country’s tourism department started a visa-waiver program which will give tourist a break from the tedious process of visiting the city’s famous landmarks for trips or vacation.
The program will give way to all business travelers and tourists from 45 countries, in which they can visit and stay in Beijing for 72 hours or 3 days, without visa. Transit passengers from Canada, United States, members of European Union, Brazil, Argentina, Australia, South Korea, Japan and the United Arab Emirates, are just some of the eligible nationalities to take advantage of this program.
January 1, 2013 is the date to mark on the calendar to all qualified tourist, who can visit the famous Forbidden City, experience motor homes show, finest camping facilities and watch plays at Beijing Theatre. As what the announcement stated that they are allowing, “….foreigners from 45 countries with visas and plane tickets to a third country to transit through Beijing for 72 hours without a visa.” This is indeed a good news for business men and travelers alike, because it will open both ways for China to present their greatest city to the world and diversify business opportunities.
Bad news is, Philippines is not listed in the countries included in the program. There is really no reason to feel bad about it because, still all Filipino travelers can go to Beijing, though they only need to pass the migration office in the airport just like other travelers, and have their Visa approved.

The Treasury announced shortly before Christmas a new package of support, totalling £1 billion, aiming to support organisations affected by the disruption and uncertainty of the Omicron variant spread. The new funding consists of:
- £683 million for targeted grants for hospitality and leisure businesses in England
- £102 million top-up for the Additional Restrictions Grant
- £30 million for Culture Recovery Fund
- £154 million of Barnett funding covering all three above
- Funding for the Statutory Sick Pay Rebate scheme will be additional to these amounts
This announcement could benefit charities in the following ways:
Charities with fewer than 250 employees can now claim the costs of up to two weeks of statutory sick pay per employee for Covid-19 sickness. Employers will be able to make a claim through HMRC from mid-January onwards.
Charities and social enterprises in the hospitality and leisure sector can claim grants of between £2.7k-£6k, providing they pay business rates. However, if a charity has claimed over £330k in Covid grants in the last three years, the Government’s subsidy control rules will prevent them from making claims.
The Cultural Recovery Fund has received a £30m top-up designed to support theatres, orchestras, arts venues, and museums. Organisations eligible can apply for between £25k-£3m. Application deadline is 12pm (midday), 28 January 2022. See more here.
Charities are also eligible to receive support from £102 million Additional Restrictions Grant money which is distributed via Local Authorities. This fund aims to support organisations experiencing a severe impact from Covid-19.
NCVO have produced a great Twitter thread summarising what this support will mean for charities and community organisations here.

What is The Cost of Developing A Facial Recognition App?
Presently, facial recognition systems are gaining a lot of traction. They are getting deployed in several public places for safety reasons, private properties to access control systems, and now also as an application on mobile phones for various purposes.
Facial recognition technology has widespread usage. The system has become so inevitable that no other technology can replace it in the future. As a result, developing such systems is tricky and needs careful planning for each case individually. As an entrepreneur, if you need such an application for your business, you must enlist the costs and expenses that are incurred to develop such a system along with the probable pitfalls.
The blog shall help you to know about each stage of your cost plans for developing facial recognition apps. Also, we shall discuss several problems that you will need to solve while in the process. It is not only about developing apps, but it is also about the hardware architecture that will allow the app to work efficiently.
You need to address the below matters before you head on to develop a facial recognition system.
- Hardware Configuration

Before beginning with the facial recognition app development project, the tech solution provider must consider hardware configuration, cameras, and edge devices, etc, and such important aspects.
At the time of building a facial recognition security system, you must know that the optimal hardware configuration differs from task to task. The suitable hardware should be chosen with great care. When the chosen hardware lacks enough power, it leads to highly undesirable delays in processing in some quality solutions. For other tasks that don’t require a lot of computational resources, the choice of powerful hardware could cause a too expensive solution, which could be no longer in demand because of its price.
Camera Choices and Their Location
When you put enough care and become cautious to complete a specific task, you must always check with the type of cameras to be deployed. The configuration choices vastly depend on quality image requirement, angle of view, and coverage area. Besides, when choosing video quality and several cameras, the network bandwidth must be taken into account. This has commonly become one of the crucial bottlenecks in building high-quality facial recognition systems.
Edge Devices Usage
Most of the facial recognition system is dependent on heavy, deep neural networks. Such networks most often need GPUs for evaluation with appropriate speed. The modern facial recognition systems emphasized that companies have machines with CPU and GPU. To ensure the work completion, the servers would require extra support in time and demand some location. Jetson devices solutions are used to reduce the support for end customers. Human support also gets minimized.
A lot of nuances must be considered while setting up optimal hardware for the system. It is also hard to choose it without experience. Hence, what we believe is that the experienced specialists create a final architecture solution for a specific facial recognition system. They determine the optimal configuration for every particular case.
Here we shall discuss major software issues coming around the face recognition technology industries.
Robust facial recognition application is created with the deeper learning-based methods. These deep learning models are notoriously known as very data-hungry. When a company lacks its data the very first step is to use open-source datasets. The dataset licensees are worth reading before using the data to train a face recognition model.
Personification and Possible Bias in the Pretrained Model
You must consider the demographic profile of the system users. Most of the open-sourced data sets comprise white adults, the final reports are quite biased and may not work properly on other races. To understand in a better way, you must collect additional private datasets consisting of similar demographic profiles to the one you expect in real life. The model bias can be reduced by adopting fine tuning on the collected data.
Companies deploy facial recognition systems to expect them to become scalable and expand enough to a wider audience. The software hence needs to possess the high flexibility architecture of a system to be very thoughtfully devised. Overall, the software part can be built in a way to get quick updates to a larger number of users with inexpensive costs. Based on our practical experiences, we found that we need a well-designed system architecture from scratch to extend the software that is not designed to become scalable.
Image Retrieval Speed
Several face recognition systems face serious bottlenecks when it performs searches in the database that consists of millions of data samples. In this scenario, the company ensures that the algorithm used to search through a database is much more efficient and scalable.
How Much Does it Cost?
The cost of developing a robust and scalable face recognition application complexity depends on the project requirements. Besides, many variables have the total price of the bespoke face recognition application.
To provide the best solutions to clients and to meet the challenges, we take up such projects through the below stages.
- Business objectives analysis
- Data analysis and identification of the scope of work
- Definition of high-level architecture and appropriate tools and technologies selection
- Risks identification
- Building proof of concept
- Definition of the expected results as well as costs and resources estimation.
The investigation stage permits idea validation at an early stage, risk minimization of a project failure, and substantial savings of money. The Cost of the Investigation stage is generally in the range of USD 10000 – 30000 based on the project size.
Both software and hardware challenges must be noted before going ahead with design plans of a facial recognition application system. Have an experienced team that can help you with the uneasy work. It helps a lot in the long run. Good and robust facial recognition applications are developed with great time, effort, and solid technical skills with great expertise. This ensures that the project is very scalable, reasonable, and reliable to take it forward for further processes.


RedHead® Rifle or Shotgun Case - PVC Armor
This is an excellent case at a great price. I use it for transporting my shotgun to and from the range. It has a hard rubber boot on one end for standing the case up safely and has plenty of padding for the gun. Weather resistant exterior and a pouch for accessories like choke tubes, eye / ear protection, etc. Would definitely recommend this case to anyone.

Worth the Money
I purchased the black and camo... have carried my scope 30-36 in it and a remington 870 w/rifled slug barrel and scope. Nice and padded, durabable and just a great product for the money.

Redhead PVC rife case
I bought this case in the rifle version for my Anschutz 1807 match rifle. (those who know what that is knows that they are very expensive and well made rifles). I normally use a pelican hard case but needed a soft case to fit in the trailer when traveling. This case is very well padded and protective. it has more padding than most soft cases out there and is very affordable. The little pouch on the side is quite bigger than i originally thought and is very helpful and convenient. I really like this case and plan on getting more for my other firearms.
July 19, 2014
I bought this case for my Browning Maxus 26" for duck hunting and this is one of the best cases i've ever owned. lots of padding on the inside and a tough exterior, can't be beat, especially for the money. I can put my shotgun in this and put it in the duck boat and after banging around in the boat i know that when i pull my gun out, I don't have to worry about damages.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, that beacon of overindulgence, has struck out once again.
This year’s inductees, with all due respect to Nine Inch Nails, are the wonkiest group ever selected by the increasingly out of touch voting board. Along with NIN, the Hall will induct singer Whitney Houston, rapper Notorious B.I.G, Depeche Mode, the Doobie Brothers and T. Rex.
One of the most important aspects that should be considered by voters is range of influence. Any band that heralds in a new branch of genre should instantly get in. Nine Inch Nails took the destructive power of metal and added to it gothic overtones and self-loathing to solidify industrial rock into the mainstream. He mixed in dub beats and soundscapes to heavy riffs and his aching scream.
Nails’ head, Trent Reznor, has quietly become this generation’s most influential artist, second only to maybe Thom Yorke of Radiohead.
While Nine Inch Nails has become a touring institution, Reznor has expanded the group’s sound with releases like Ghosts I-IV, Hesitation Marks and Bad Witch and won an Oscar and Grammy for one of his many Hollywood soundtracks. He’s even responsible for the two wimpy guitar strums on the intro for that goddamn song “Old Time Road” by Lil Nas X. (Banging my head on the desk trying to wipe away the image of Reznor inducting little Nas X into the Rock Hall in 2025.)
T-Rex is an obvious lock, conceiving glam rock. Depeche Mode carved their spot at the top of moody synth-based rock in the 80s and are one of those groups with intense fandom.
Then we turn to Whitney Houston and the Notorious B.I.G., the acts furthest from the ethos of rock.
Can’t help but think they were largely included for their sensational untimely deaths. But I also wonder if they were picked simply to appease the growing calls of “more diversity” that rages from all quarters of Twitter when awards season rolls around. Not against all-inclusion in any sense, but what about these two artists have anything to do with rock and roll?
Houston’s big hit song was for a soundtrack. Her career went cold for a decade before overdosing on cocaine at a pre-Grammys party. Cocaine overdose is pretty rock and roll, but surely not the reason she’s in. B.I.G. was one of the great lyricists of rap’s heyday, an unmistakable delivery, but other than his murder being a Dateline episode I don’t see the rock and roll connection. But, hey, he’d be a first-ballot entry in the Hip-Hop Hall of Fame, which should expand beyond a museum.
Rappers in the Rock Hall was always a big question leading up to the late-70s eligibility period.
Should they or shouldn’t they? The first hip-hop entry was Afrika Bambaataa–the innovator DJ spinning records in the Bronx in the late-70s when NYC was engulfed in punk, disco and new wave. The Beastie Boys started out as a punk band and used rock, metal and punk samples in a way that had never been done before. Their first album is basically rock with some drunk shouting over it. Run DMC deserves the honor for sampling “Walk this Way” by Aerosmith and collaborating with the band. These early acts all have some significant tie to rock music’s history. It pretty much stops there, but every year there’s representation of the genre.
And if this induction garners more significance posthumously, like it seems with Houston and Biggie, then where is the love for Motörhead, MC5 and Thin Lizzy? Motörhead started out in England mid-70s and took what Black Sabbath was doing and sped it up. “Lemmy” Kilmister was the grisliest frontman and clenched the title until his death in 2015.
MC5 was part of the Detroit-area proto-punk scene of the late-60s, early-70s.
Like Hendrix or the Stooges, they were only around for a blip, but their influence has wide reach. Lead singer Rob Tyner and guitarist Fred “Sonic” Smith, who married Patti Smith, both passed in the early-90s; bassist Michael Davis, in 2012. From Dublin, Ireland, Thin Lizzy wrote some of the best drinking-on-a-Saturday-with-friends music in the 70s and were productive with 12 albums before bassist and lead vocalist Phil Lyncott passed in 1986.
The other nominees this year were Kraftwerk, Rufus featuring Chaka Khan, Soundgarden, Judas Priest, Dave Matthews Band, Pat Benatar and Todd Rundgren, who was nominated for the second consecutive time. What’s the hesitation? Rundgren didn’t only have some of the strongest hits of the 70s, he formed the prog-rock group Utopia, produced classic albums, wrote “Bang the Drum All Day,” and has experimented with his sound ever since.
The Doobie Brothers are a total throw-in, but in this group appear to be the only current live band, along with Depeche Mode.
So it’s 2020 and we’re celebrating rock and roll with the Doobies as the main act? Hopefully their cruise ship will dock in time for the show. Nothing against the group, they’ve kept at it over 40 years, but maybe the Hall should have a second annual show that is just every great forgotten act of the 60s and 70s.
Each year becomes more of a hodgepodge of acts that have little to do with each other. Eligibility for the nomination is 25 years from an act’s first official release. That currently puts us in the year 1995. Red Hot Chili Peppers, Green Day, Radiohead, Metallica, Nirvana and Pearl Jam have been inducted, but were sort of the resident 90s act each time.
How cool would it be to have a year with Sonic Youth, the Pixies, Smashing Pumpkins, Soundgarden, Beck, Kate Bush and Rage Against the Machine all enshrined?
It’d be such an iconic representation of a slice of music history instead of this fucking amalgam of artists from all over the decades. This would bring back the spectacle of collaboration that used to be the Final Megajam. Maybe this year we’ll get the Doobies doing a yacht rock take on “Head Like A Hole,” with Reznor shouting, “I’d rather die than give you control.”
Oh well, it’s all bullshit anyways. Hope the winners have a ball on Jann Wenner’s last dime.

Jack Nicklaus to take up residence in Loudoun County
Legendary golfer Jack Nicklaus will soon be able to keep a much closer look at his signature golf course at Creighton Farms in Loudoun County.
Southworth Development CEO David Southworth said Tuesday that construction has begun on a 5,500-square-foot home Nicklaus and his wife, Barbara, had specially designed in the luxury residential community that boasts other celebrity owners including Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III.
Related: When RGIII buys a new house, it's bound to get plenty of media attention. Apex Custom Homes CEO Scott Prendergast shares what it's like to build homes for household names and how to handle the media attention that comes with it. Read more here.
"Our community embraces the involvement of Jack and Barbara Nicklaus at Creighton Farms," Southworth said. "It's always a delight to spend time with them for business or pleasure, and we look forward to the whole family visiting and enjoying Creighton Farms."
Nicklaus has been planning to have a home built for him at Creighton Farms for several years. The WBJ first reported on his plans back in July 2010. Southworth, which owns the 900-acre community, said the home is being developed off the ninth hole of the golf course, appropriately in the North Villas section of the community's Nicklaus Village neighborhood.
The golfer's new home was designed by Creighton Enterprises and will include four bedrooms, four-and-a-half baths, multiple porches and a grand circular staircase. Southworth spokeswoman Cindy Lawrence said Nicklaus is planning a summer 2014 move-in date.
Southworth, which declined to comment when RG3 bought his home for $2.5 million last spring, was likewise mum on how much Nicklaus is spending to build or how much he paid for the lot. Lots in the community range from $495,000 to $1.3 million, excluding home costs. Homes on some of the larger lots are valued at about $10 million.

We used Chris kentworthly as a solo acoustic artist he was wonderful. Very accommodating to our guests requests. Everyone loved him. I would use him again. He was also reasonably priced
We had Chris play acoustic at our wedding ceremony and his three piece band play at our reception. Their performance was fantastic, exactly what we wanted for our day. The ceremony was super relaxed and the complimenting sounds of Chris' 12 string acoustic and array of cruisey and classy tunes created the perfect vibe, topping off what could not have gone better.
The lads kicked on at our reception and played an array of covers that worked beautifully in the background when required and amped up as the night went on, culminating in dance-fest of classics that had our bridal party, friends and family all busting moves. Their performance was significantly better than our dance moves :)
The lads were extremely friendly, professional and courteous through all of our dealings with them, happy to accommodate requests, although they had a large repertoire to choose from anyhow which we used a lot of.

High times at the village of lo
Sep 22, 2018-
Lo Manthang, admittedly, is a hard place to get to; you know that much once you leave the snaking Baglung Highway at Beni Bazaar and start your climb up precipitous roads hugging the gushing Kali Gandaki. The landscape becomes more and more sparse with each new town you hit—Tato Pani, Ghasa, Lete, Marpha—until you arrive at the barren moonscape that is Mustang.
Once you are at windy Jomsom—the gateway to Upper Mustang—you slowly begin to grasp why this region holds so much pull among travellers from across the globe. A desolate high desert hemmed in magnificent peaks, Mustang is harsh and unforgiving, even while it leaves you gasping for more, literally.
Leaving lower Mustang behind at Jomsom and Kagbeni, as you make your way up to the Forbidden Kingdom, the landscape becomes ever more rugged and you find yourself in the company of those thirsting for adventure—syndicate jeep drivers howling past hairpin turns and Crossfire-borne bikers kicking up a hurricane.
There is so much to see, so much to do in Mustang but invariably, like everywhere you travel, it is the people that leave the deepest impressions on your mind. All the while I bumbled through Mustang, I couldn’t help but think about how tough, both physically and mentally, the residents of such a rugged country must be. How, despite the cold, the wind, the snow, the sheer remoteness, they still welcome you with warm smiles and genuine hospitality, maybe even apple brandy.
The kingdom of Lo, admittedly, is a hard place to get to; but then that is exactly why the reward is all the more sweet.
Against the gurgling Kali Gandaki river.
Protein and Vitamin D.
Bleating polka dots.
A pocket full of sunshine.
Commuting in style.
Blue skies, scorched earth, blessed soul.

Vox Veritas Vita – “Speak the truth as a way of life.”
LONG BEACH — From the Files of You Can’t Make This Stuff Up: A California government agency has lied about receiving an award for government transparency.
The California State University system has falsely claimed to have received a 2012 Sunshine Award, which recognizes “the most transparent government websites in the nation.”
“CSU wins 2012 Sunshine Award for most transparent government website ow.ly/9BuP6,” @Cal State, the official Twitter page for the CSU Public Affairs Office, tweeted on March 12. However, as of 1:30 pm on March 13, the ow.ly/9BuP6 link no longer worked, even though that exact link remains up on Cal State’s Twitter account.
[Editor’s Update: As a result of this article, as of 4 pm on March 13, 2012, CSU’s official Twitter page also no longer lists the lie about receiving the Sunshine Award. But the evidence from earlier is in the picture that follows. Two and a half hours is pretty fast for government work.]
Sunshine Review, the national nonprofit organization that sponsors the annual awards, confirmed to CalWatchDog.com that it would be impossible for the state’s public college system to win a Sunshine Award.
“We do not grade state universities or colleges at this time, so it would be impossible for Cal State to have won an award,” said Diana Lopez, senior editor of the Sunshine Review. “And you are correct, they are not on our list of winners here:http://sunshinereview.org/index.php/2012_Sunny_Awards.”
If that’s not ridiculous enough, remember we’re in the middle of Sunshine Week, the annual campaign to raise awareness about open, honest and transparent government.
It’d be easy to laugh off the irony of a government agency lying about receiving a government transparency award during the weeklong celebration of openness and honesty in government. Except, the Cal State system continues to lie and mislead the public about the total compensation of its top administrators.
Cal State officials have provided false and misleading information to the public about the total compensation provided to at least one of the system’s 23 presidents, a CalWatchDog.com investigation found earlier this month. According to IRS documents of Cal State University Los Angeles Foundation, CSULA President James Rosser reported receiving $515,612 in total compensation for fiscal year 2009-10, which ended on June 30, 2010. The half-million dollar figure is roughly $200,000 more than CSU’s previously cited base salary of $325,000 per year. In at least five instances, Cal State officials have claimed or implied a lower compensation amount for CSULA’s Rosser.
When CalWatchDog.com requested the total compensation for all 23 executives, a Cal State spokeswoman told us to find it ourselves.
“The information is publicly available and included on 990 forms for each president and the chancellor that are posted on each campus website, as well as on the chancellor office website,” said Claudia Keith, Cal State’s assistant vice chancellor of public affairs.

One of the most important events of the year for many mobile phone users is the announcement of Android N, which is expected to be released in the coming months. Google as the first move launched the Android N Developer Preview, some time ago.
Today, Google has made another important step that brings even closer the release of the final version of Android N. The second preview of the new developer's operating system is available for download.
According to Google, Android N Developer Preview 2 brings several important new features for both regular users and developers.
Those who have one of the compatible Nexus devices for Android N Preview Developer can test the new operating system. Google in this version added Vulkan, the new 3D rendering API.
With Vulkan you will notice a decrease in CPU usage and Google promises very impressive benchmarks.
In addition, the company has confirmed that Android N Developer Preview 2 brings launcher shortcuts so that apps can now determine which shortcuts users want to run on the launcher, which will help to perform faster.
The new version also launches the new updated Emoji Unicode 9. The new emoji design of the version moves closer to a more "human design".
Last but not least, the changes to the API included in the update as Google continues adds and refines great features, such as multi-window support, alerts, and more.

Animal control removed a garter snake from a woman’s car after it appeared on her dashboard while she was driving.
Waterford-East Lyme Animal Control in Connecticut was called on Thursday. They were able to get the woman to pull over on the side of the road safely, where the garter snake was removed by the attending animal control officer.
The group posted details of the incident on its Facebook page.
See posts, photos and more on Facebook.
The case is reminiscent of the experience of a professor at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine, Gail Henderson, last year.
Henderson was making her way along Highway 54 in North Carolina on May 6, 2020, when a 4-foot long black snake suddenly appeared on her dashboard, WRAL reported.
It was stretched lengthwise across the entire front dashboard,” she told the station. “I only realized it was there when it started slithering. It took a second before I realized it was a big, long snake!”
The snake had gone unnoticed due to the fact it blended in with the color of Henderson’s Subaru. She added: “I managed to pull off the road onto a grassy shoulder and hop out of my car before I completely freaked out.”
Opening all the doors and windows, the professor of medicine waited at the side of the highway hoping the snake would exit the car itself. Fortunately, help arrived in the form of Michele Steeley and her then 13-year-old son.
Steeley, who said she was familiar with the reptiles was able to remove the snake and toss it into the grass at the side of the road.
While in both cases the drivers were unharmed, snakes slithering into the carriage of cars can present dangers for road users. These range from bites to distractions that can cause accidents.
Both garter snakes and black snakes as encountered in these incidents are non-venomous, but the issue of snakes making their way into cars can be more dangerous in regions with venomous snakes like copperheads or rattlesnakes.
Snakes for Pets founder Louise Carter offers an explanation of how snakes could come to find themselves inside a car, especially in areas with high snake populations like Texas, Florida and Tennessee.
The most likely way a snake got into a car, the serpent enthusiast who has owned reptiles since she was a little girl says, is through an open door or window. Once in the car’s cabin, they seek out small openings like air conditioner vents, footwells, and gloveboxes, and are likely forced out when the car begins moving.
Carter also says that as cold-blooded animals, snakes will often crawl into car engine blocks from underneath or from open hoods seeking warmth. This is unlikely to have happened in cases in which snakes appear on dashboards as she says there is no way for the reptile to make its way from the engine to the cabin.
Risk of Starting a Fire
“The snake can’t get in the cabin of your car through vents or bodywork. They may explore these parts of the vehicle, but there’s no way they could get into the cabin from here,” she says. “The issue with a snake living under your bonnet is that it may not be easy to find. It may be sat on top of your engine, in which case it’ll be right in front of you when you pop the hood. But it may be further down in the inner workings of your car.”
Carter warns that when snakes find themselves in the interiors of car engines they can quite easily spark fires.
Carter advises that if you do find a snake in your car you should keep an eye on it and call an expert to remove it.
“By leaving the snake alone, you might encourage it to come out. With you around, it won’t feel safe coming out, but with you gone, it might consider leaving,” she says. “But the snake might find somewhere new to live, moving from your dashboard to under your seat, for example.”
To prevent a snake from entering your car in the first place, she says that you should close all windows and doors and try to keep the vehicle stored in a garage, rather than out in the open.

text: This research aimed to evaluate the environmental performance of selected bioplastic product produced from polylactic acid (PLA) and polybutylene succinate (PBS) based on life cycle approach. Raw materials used to produce bioplastic were cassava and sugarcane and garbage bag was selected as a model product to study. The environmental performance was then compared with the same product produced from conventional plastics (HDPE, LDPE, LLDPE). The scope of the study covered the entire life cycle of the bioplastic product, including plantation, harvesting, resin production, plastic processing, product use and disposal of the bioplastic product in Thailand. Initiated as the National Innovation Agency (NIA) pilot project, Sa-med island was selected as a model to study the use and disposal of bioplastic product by composting. The functional units were 1 kg bioplastic resin and 1 kg bioplastic product. The data were compiled and analyzed using SimaPro 7.0 with the CML baseline 2000 and the Eco-Indicator 95 methods to identify the environmental burdens with a focus on global warming potential (GWP). The cradle-to-gate results showed that GWP of PLA resin was lower than GWP of conventional plastic while the GWP of PBS was higher than GWP of conventional plastic resins, but it could potentially be reduced by applying practical improvement option. When the whole life cycle environmental impact of bioplastic was considered (cradle-to-grave), the results obtained using Sa-med island as an experimental site show that the performance of bioplastic in term of GWP is better than conventional plastics and composting is an appropriate waste management to gain highest environmental benefits from bioplastics.

2015 Ford Mustangs Roll Off Assembly Line
It's the day the fans have been waiting for: the production 2015 Mustangs are rolling off the assembly line. It's the first Mustang designed for the global marketplace, too. The Ford plant in Flint Rock, Arkansas, is producing a Mustang that for the first time will be sold in 120 countries on six continents. It has also lead to what will surely be a bizarre sight: a right-hand drive Mustang for places like Great Britain and Australia. RELATED: See more 2015 Ford Mustang images
This is an important car for Ford to get right. More than 9 million have been sold since 1964. Screw up the sixth-generation Mustang and the whole world will see.
Ford's doing its best to make sure that doesn't happen. It gets two new powertrains both with a focus on power. The Mustang 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine uses direct injection, variable cam timing and a twin-scroll turbocharger to deliver the performance Mustang drivers expect with an output of 310 horsepower and 320 lb.-ft. of torque.
RELATED: See photos of the 1964 Ford Mustang
The 2015 Mustang GT continues with the latest edition of the 5.0-liter V8. It features an upgraded valvetrain, new intake manifold and improved cylinder heads for 435 horsepower and 400 lb.-ft. of torque. There's also the V6 version that's going to be the darling of rental car fleets and buyers too intimidated by EcoBoost and V8s.
RELATED: See photos of the 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429
The 2015 Mustang hits US dealers in the fall. The rest of the world is going to have to wait until 2015 to get their hands on it.

For Immediate Release: January 10, 2017
Who: AtlantiCare and the Community FoodBank of New Jersey, Southern Branch
What: To cut ribbon on new food pantry
When: Wednesday, January 11, 2017; 2 p.m.
Where: William L. Gormley AtlantiCare HealthPlex,
1401 Atlantic Avenue, Atlantic City, New Jersey
Details: AtlantiCare and the Community FoodBank of New Jersey, Southern Branch, will hold a ribbon cutting to mark the opening of a year-round food pantry – Pantry at the Plex – at the William L. Gormley AtlantiCare HealthPlex in Atlantic City. AtlantiCare officials will share brief remarks. Chef Brianna Manning, of Kitchen 19 Creative Culinary Center in Hammonton, NJ, and a member of AtlantiCare’s Growing Green Chefs Council, will lead the a healthy cooking demonstration using items from the pantry to prepare bean and cabbage soup following the ribbon cutting.
The pantry, which had a soft opening December 14, serves low-income patients receiving healthcare services at the HealthPlex Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. A member of the AtlantiCare care team, which can include a physician or other provider, nurse, social worker, diabetes educator, and/or other specialists, assesses the patient at the time of his or her medical or social service visit for food insecurity and need for assistance through the pantry.
“Our healthcare providers will write a prescription for healthy food for individuals,” explained Sandy Festa, MSW, administrative director, AtlantiCare HealthPlex. “The prescription will serve as a voucher for patients to receive a three- to four-day supply of healthy food items.” Festa added the once-monthly supply of healthy food is intended to be enough to feed up to a family of four for three to four days. “Through our on-site pharmacy, we help patients get their medications timely. Now patients will be able to pick up food and their medications – if needed - at the same time.”
“Nutrition plays a key role in a person’s overall wellness,” said Festa, who added more than 9,000 individual patients are currently receiving care at the HealthPlex. “Many of our patients have multiple, chronic health issues. Our providers stress the importance of eating nutritious food, especially when it comes to preventing or managing diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity and other issues. But patients don’t always have the ability to get healthy food.”
The healthy food prescription will be good for the day of the patient’s visit only, unless the care team makes other arrangements. “Just as we work hard to make sure patients get and take their medications timely, we want to help them to access nutritional food timely,” explained Festa. “A member of the care team will confidentially walk the patient to the pantry to retrieve the food. We located in the pantry in a private area of the HealthPlex to maintain patient privacy.”
AtlantiCare Growing Green, a school and community garden program aimed at improving access to healthy foods, oversees pantry operations and reporting requirements. AtlantiCare staff, volunteers, and interns help the pantry receive deliveries, bag food items, and provide other assistance.
“While patients access the pantry we will also provide nutrition education resources and other health and wellness information,” said Laura Engelmann, MHA, AtlantiCare Community Health and Wellness manager, who leads AtlantiCare’s Growing Green initiative. “We selected pantry items based on the United States Department of Agriculture’s MyPlate guidelines for healthy eating.”
“AtlantiCare and the FoodBank partnered to provide a mobile pantry once a month last summer for our HealthPlex patients,” explained Samantha Kiley, MBA, MPH, executive director, AtlantiCare Foundation. “Nutrition-related illnesses and food insecurity are year-round issues, so we are now collaborating to help meet this need on a real-time basis.” Kiley noted organizations, businesses and individuals can contribute to AtlantiCare’s Pantry at the Plex by making a donation to the AtlantiCare Foundation.
“We are absolutely thrilled to expand our partnership with AtlantiCare and the HealthPlex in this way. What began just a few months ago as a new Mobile Pantry stop to provide food for HealthPlex patients has evolved to something of an ideal scenario wherein the food they need is right on site and can be prescribed as part of their care,” said Richard Uniacke, vice president, Community FoodBank of New Jersey, Southern Branch.
AtlantiCare’s team works with patients to link them with additional nutrition and clinical support services in the community.
