On a sticky New York City night last week, I was sobbing quietly in a gallery in SoHo. Staring at the raw, gritty photos of moms and babies in the moments after birth—part of a photography exhibit that shows the reality of postpartum bodies and the humungous identity shift that is motherhood—made me feel sad that this conversation was only happening now, two decades after I needed it myself.
The launch of the Life After Birth Project, sponsored by Canadian lingerie start-up, Knix, marked the beginning of a nine-city tour of the exhibit (it lands in Toronto September 17 to 22 at 630 Queen St. W.). It was timed to coincide with the launch of the brand’s new six-piece maternity and postpartum collection.
Knix is on the leading edge of the current “empowerment marketing” trend, in which brands attempt to spark intimate, previously taboo conversations as part of their ad strategy. And the conversation that night was indeed intense. The woman on my left, who was featured in the show in a gorgeous, life-sized nude image with her newborn son, found out she was pregnant the day she was diagnosed with cancer. The woman on my right, who took that picture, shared the story of how the stillbirth of her own son had inspired her to become a doula and document the births of her clients as an art photographer.
Earlier that afternoon, I was sitting with Knix CEO and founder Joanna Griffiths in a hotel room as an awesome newfangled breast pump laboured away discreetly under her sweater. Her four-month-old son, Cole, was snoozing with his grandmother in a nearby suite.
Griffiths came up with the idea for Knix in business school, circa 2011. She had no apparel background but knew she wanted to start a company that would address women’s issues, so she set out to talk to women about what they wanted. The result was products like “period-proof” underwear, no-underwire bras and bounce-proof activewear.
Knix’s business arc has neatly dovetailed with the millennial-driven movements away from Victoria’s Secret-style lingerie and toward comfort and inclusivity. Knix products are available in sizes 0 to 22, and up to 42G bra size. “We use real women, real customers, in our social space and campaigns,” says Griffiths, who also employs a Customer Empowerment Team (caps intended).
The push to get deeper into tough conversations came through Griffiths’ own experiences. After she had a miscarriage last year, she started a Knix podcast series to talk about fertility struggles. Then, five days after she had Cole, she came into the office fired up from a hospital bedside conversation. “A family member asked me how much weight I lost with the baby,” she says. The throwaway line grated. Ditto the post-partum “hospital underwear” that any woman who has given birth knows and laments (Amy Schumer showed the world those giant regulation-issue panties on Instagram after her own son was born). Then there were the clunky disposable nursing pads, in which Griffith saw nothing but waste, and opportunity, and motivation to get back to the drawing board.
“Five days postpartum, we went into high gear getting these products to market,” Griffiths says. “But it is the conversation I’m excited about, and that is the point of the travelling photography exhibit. Other than the baby, this is the most ambitious thing I’ve done.”
Bringing star power to the launch was N.Y.C. doula Domino Kirke of Carriage House Birth; her client Amy Schumer (who has been a leading light in the vomit-inclusive, let’s-get-real-about-pregnancy movement) submitted a tender post-birth shot for the exhibit. Her sister, actor Jemima Kirke, best known from Girls—who also contributed a photo to the show—spoke at the dinner about postpartum issues, wearing a killer white jumpsuit and invoking references from D.H. Lawrence on fatherhood to the polarizing Rachel Cusk on motherhood. Christy Turlington and Ricki Lake were among other celebs who contributed portraits.
“It’s now considered cool to be relatable,” says Canadian body positivity advocate Sarah Nicole Landry. This is exemplified by most famous pregnant and postpartum person of 2019, Meghan Markle, who notably disregarded the old imperative to “snap back” to a pre-baby body and is modelling acceptance of the physical changes wrought by pregnancy, and the lengthy adjustment time a body takes to recalibrate.
The conversation around postpartum bodies is changing, and fast, says Landry, who has worked with Knix before. Known on Instagram as @birdspapaya, she boasts some 485,000 followers who rapturously receive her many selfies that proudly show her stomach, stretch marks and cellulite.
“I realized that we’d been lied to. Perfecting my body wasn’t going to bring inner peace or confidence.”
The initial subject of Landry’s social media content was her post-baby weight loss effort, after having three kids. “In an effort to love my body, I worked to lose 100 pounds,” she says. But the feedback was troubling—she noticed her followers were “feeling apologetic for their bodies.” She had her own reckoning after the big weight drop. “I didn’t love my body in the end and I felt shame around parts of me that were a gift, like my stretch marks,” she says. “I realized that we’d been lied to. Perfecting my body wasn’t going to bring inner peace or confidence.” So she shifted gears and began trying to love herself the way she was.
While acceptance of postpartum bodies is on the rise, their commercial possibilities are mostly untapped. Heaven knows the purchasing options for every aspect of baby’s life and wardrobe are extensive. But so far, the wardrobe offerings for women who have just given birth remain relegated to re-purposed maternity wear and a whole lot of yoga pants.
Knix intends to partly fill that void with a new maternity collection: a wireless Leakproof Nursing Bra with four-way stretch to adapt to shifting cup size ($65); reusable, antibacterial nipple pads to absorb overflow ($15); high-rise leakproof briefs with pretty velvet bands to support stretched-out muscles ($42); and high-rise panties that can be used during and after pregnancy as the tummy changes shape in either direction ($48 for three).
It is helpful to see these pieces modelled by real women, who have just had real babies, and who are vulnerable in their changed states. Because if there is ever a moment in a woman’s life when she could use a little bit of empowerment—and a little less discomfort and embarrassment—it is that awkward, messy time right after childbirth that no mother, not even a supermodel or a princess, can avoid.

If Unzen wasn’t a fun enough weekend, there was also a house party on Saturday night that we went to. We gathered in front of Seiyu at 6:00, got a bunch of drinks for the party, and then took the 6:40 bus to Mark’s house. It took about an hour to get there since he lives way out of the city by the ocean. It was a long ride, but I met up with Chouki and Sori from hiking on Friday. They were going to the party, too.
The party begins!
Mark’s house is very large by Japanese standards. It’s essentially a mansion of a Japanese house. I guess it has to be big though, there were about 70 students at the party. Typically, Japanese people never entertain at their homes since they are so tiny. It’s very rare to have people over, even neighbors. If you want to hang out with someone in Japan, you go out and meet people somewhere.
Kaiti being precious with George.
Nate wearing Mark’s birthday hat.
Around midnight they brought out the birthday cake. I wasn’t even sure if it was really his birthday or not until they brought out cake.
Mark shows off some dance moves around the cake while a hilarious rendition of Happy Birthday plays in the background.
A lot of music was played but none of it was any good. Curiously enough, it was all American music… No other countries, not even Japan was represented! They could have at least played some good American music – it was all pop and rap. There are better things to dance to.
People eventually started to get tired…
4:30 AM. Kevin is barely hanging on.
At about 5am the music stopped and pretty much everyone was either out or going to the beach to see the sun rise. It was too cold to go out, I didn’t bring any sort of jacket so I just stayed in and watched people recuperate.
After waking everyone up we all gathered together to take the first bus of the day (7:04) back into the city.

Brilliant compilation thats connecting all contributing bands on this comp. for their deeply rooted love for Jazz. What counts for them is that it all comes from the heart. Therefore it is not surprising that despite the rich history of Jazz recordings, their creativity and songwriting skills lead them to beautiful musical endeavors. Indeed, they come close to touching the garment of Jazz giants like John & Alice Coltrane, Pharaoh Sanders or Jimmy Smith. So the goal is quite obvious, this compilation is about to present a fine selection of handpicked songs to accomplish an even more unique mission: to prove that creative minds are still on this planet to keep real Jazz alive - and Contemporary Jazz is a testament to that.

Title: EEG and ERP biomarkers for prediction of antidepressant treatment response
PhD-student: Cheng Teng Ip, NRU and H.Lundbeck A/S
The World Health Organization (WHO) has ranked Major Depresssive Disoreder (MDD) as the leading cause of disease burden, especially for women. MDD is characterized by a personal suffering and both social and functional disability and is often associated with high health care costs. Today, it is the sentiment that MDD rather than being a unitary condition may have multiple causes and disease mechanisms which probably is the reason why many patients do not have a satisfactory response to antidepressive treatment. This is clearly not satisfactory and calls for ways to classify MDD patients as well as defining biomarkers that can predict treatment outcome. There is some evidence that electrophysiological features can serve as a predictor for the treatment outcome and thus reduce the number of failed treatments. To date, different EEG/ERPs parameters have been suggested and explored as potential predictors of antidepressants outcome, with somewhat diverging results.
The aim of this PhD project is to establish the relationship between novel treatments/intervention outcomes and electrophysiological properties in humans, and identify the modes of action of these treatments in our brain, with the changes of these biomarkers before and after treatment. Ideally, the findings in this study can provide new insights and thus advance future “personalized” and “accurate” treatment strategies for MDD.

The Nokia C2-03 is one of the first Nokia dual SIM phones : Although it has been available for several years, it can with its relatively low price still score. The design is - for the now very low purchase price - still quite elegant. However, there are already some Android smartphones for 2 SIM cards in mobile testing , which are slightly more expensive and offer much more amenities.
The operation of the Nokia C2-03 is done under a sliding keyboard as well as via the touch screen. The is 2.6 "by today's standards, of course, very small, but in terms of color quality and luminosity very good.
As a classic mobile phone runs on the C2-03, the Nokia's own operating system Nokia S30 system. Unlike Android is not is an open operating system, ie there is hardly available apps and a few customization options.
Technically, the system for calling, texting, and manage contacts and appointments is but mature and practical.
For surfing the C2-03 is not ideal: it can only data about the slow GPRS / EDGE standard exchange, ie on the 2G network. Neither UMTS LTE yet available.
Little advantage after all: to live feeds from Facebook and Twitter can be accessed directly through a special integrated application.
The Nokia C2-03 uses so-called dual SIM standby, ie both cards have parallel channels, but can not use the same time to call, texting or surfing - as soon as a card uses a web service, the other is no longer logged into the network and any "has no power."
The change from SIM1 to SIM2 and back is quick keystroke.

c1900 Photograph of Florence Hunt, later to become Mrs. J. M. Acuff
c1900 photograph of a woman identified on reverse as Florence Hunt, who later became Mrs. J. M. Acuff.
The photograph was recently purchased in Maine, but that may not be a clue as to where Florence lived. Many photographs end up in Maine with relatives or with newcomer retirees who have a collection to disperse.
Researching online, I found an intriguing prospect: a Florence A. Hunt, born in Ohio in 1880, who married Joseph Minter Acuff at Springfield, Missouri on 25 December 1901.
I can't quite make out the photographer's name. It's possibly Morgan; perhaps a reader will know if there was a studio in Ohio or Missouri by that or a similar name during the likely time frame.
This Florence A. Hunt was the daughter of Lester Trowbridge Hunt, a Connecticut native who had moved to Ohio and became the editor of a newspaper there, and his second wife Maggie.
Lester's parents were Elisha and Almira (Bill) Hunt of Chaplin, Connecticut. Elisha died in 1833. By the time of the 1850 Census of Chaplin, Connecticut, Almira had not remarried; Lester and his older brother Henry were living with her.
By the time of the 1860 Census, Lester had married his first wife, Ellen Fannie Burnham, and they had made their way to Kenton, Ohio.
Ellen Fannie Burnham was the daughter of Luther and Martha (Lincoln) Burnham of the noted Burnham family of the Windham, Connecticut area. Her brother, Stowell Lincoln Burnham, was killed at Gettysburg, after suffering several gunshot wounds throughout the day.
I don't yet have information on the maiden name or parents of Lester's second wife Maggie, mother of Florence.
If I have the right Florence (Hunt) Acuff, perhaps the photograph originally made its way to Hunt relatives in Connecticut and from there eventually to Maine.
Florence's husband, Joseph Minter Acuff, was also in the newspaper business, which is perhaps how they met.
According to the 1900 Census, Joseph was born in Missouri in August 1875, give or take a year. His parents were Joseph Christopher Acuff and wife Levica (Green) Acuff.
His paternal grandparents were Christopher Columbus Acuff, Jr., and wife Mildred L. (Rogers) Acuff. His maternal grandparents were William and Marcena (Smith) Green.
If you have corrections or additions to the above information or if you have another possibility for the identity of the Florence (Hunt) Acuff in the photograph, please leave a comment or contact me directly.
Thanks for stopping by!

Is it possible your great aunt had previously been married to J. M. Acuff, as the reverse of the photograph implies? If the same person, it makes sense how the photograph came to be for sale in Maine.Delete

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Friday continuing his efforts to eliminate government regulations he believes are killing jobs and driving companies out of the country.
The executive order directs each federal agency to establish a task force to identify unnecessary regulations that can be repealed or simplified.
“Every regulation should have to pass a simple test: Does it make life better or safer for American workers or consumers?” Trump said. “If the answer is no, we will be getting rid of it and getting rid of it quickly.”
“We will stop punishing companies for doing business in the United States,” he added. “It’s going to be absolutely just the opposite. They’re going to be incentivized for doing business in the United States.”
Trump noted he previously issued an order requiring two old regulations to be eliminated for every new regulation implemented.
The president was joined at the signing ceremony by top executives from a number of major companies, including Merck (MRK), Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), Lockheed Martin (LMT), and Dow Chemical (DOW).
Trump said he’s been listening to American companies and workers complain for a long time about excessive regulations.
“We’re working very hard to roll back the regulatory burdens so that coal miners, factory workers, small-business owners, and so many others can grow their businesses and thrive,” Trump said.
“We cannot allow government to be an obstacle to government opportunity,” he added. “We are going to…

The Kind of Solution A City Is
A while ago I wrote about Jane Jacobs’ insight that cities were complex systems[i]. The stone that she dropped in the urban pond in 1961 has rippled widely, and the ideas of cities as complex adaptive systems, with emergent properties, good and bad resilience, and non-linear dynamics now guide much cutting edge urban research.
Of course, when Jacobs used the word problem, she meant an intellectual problem to be solved, and her answer suggested complex systems theory as an approach to understanding cities. But the word “problem” also calls to mind an antonym. To every problem there might be considered to be a solution. In this spirit, with apologies to Jane Jacobs, I ask what kind of a solution a city is.
To get to my answer, I do have to admit that some urbanists have interpreted cities as literal problems, in the negative sense. For example, members of the Chicago School of Urban Sociology in the 1920s emphasized urban pathologies. They contrasted the issues that existed in cities with the ideal of village and rural life as they experienced it in turn of the 20th century America. They studied such things as competition among immigrant communities and the distribution and behavior of gangs. Of course, there are real negatives associated with cities, including pollution, disease contagion, crowding and stress, for example. Recent research by Bettencourt and West (2010) has pointed out several negative factors, such as crime, that increase at greater than linear rates with city size.
The Lure of the City
|A design for urban farming in vacant lands in West Baltimore.
From an urban design studio supervised by Brian McGrath
and Victoria Marshall.
In spite of the negatives of urban living, cities continue to draw humanity to them. Urban areas are seen as a solution by societies, governments, individuals, and households who vote with their feet or with their policies. Edward Glaeser (2011) has discussed at length the draws that urban areas clearly hold for people and institutions. For instance, cities in the broadest sense, are a prime locus of innovation. The serendipitous interactions of knowledge workers in cafes, bars, restaurants, and informal gatherings are important sources of new ideas and approaches. Interestingly, the well known power of social media, which can theoretically operate at a global scale in service of creativity, have not replaced the sparks of face-to-face interaction among diverse people. Institutions such as businesses and universities clearly recognize the power of the city as a source of creative interaction.
But individuals also yearn for the city for their own reasons. People seek access to health care, education, jobs, consumer goods, and excitement. In particular, some urban migrants seek release from the strictures of tradition, the anonymity to pursue a lifestyle not sanctioned in a less urban setting, or to replace a livelihood taken away by industrial agriculture or resource exhaustion in the countryside. These lures, presented briefly in narrative form can be considered the services or opportunities provided by urban areas.
Economies of scale are another way to address the lures of the city. Again, Bettencourt and West (2010) provide statistical meat on the narrative bones. They show over a range of city sizes a clear savings in terms of per capita infrastructure, resource use, creative products, and so on. There is roughly a 15% savings in many areas of urban structure and process compared to urban population size. In a sense, cities and larger urban areas exist to provide these solutions, these lures.
The Contexts for Solutions: Four Dimensions
“The” city is not just one kind of solution, however. McHale and colleagues (submitted) identify four dimensions of contemporary urbanization: Diversity, Complexity, Diffuseness, and Connectivity. These four characteristics are intertwined and interacting. Together they describe what is new and exciting about cities for an urban ecologist. The conceptual space identifies the realms in which new solutions for sustainability and resilience can be sought in urban social-ecological systems.
Diversity. Looking at urbanization and urban change around the world reveals a vast diversity of forms. The wealthy urban cores of Europe surrounded by less well off or segregated suburbs; the Post-World War II sprawl of the United States with thinning and sometimes even shrinking cores; the megacities or Asia; the metropolises of India and Latin America dotted with favelas and shantytowns; the urbanizing former rural “homelands” of South Africa are a part of the great global diversity of urban settlements. No single simple model describes all the urban systems around the world, or even in a single country any more.
Complexity. The early history of cities was marked by compactness and often clear differentiation of districts of cosmological significance, trade, residence, and so on. Cities have always been characterized by heterogeneity of social groups and social standing. Today, urban areas are marked by great heterogeneity within their perceptual or legal boundaries. Neighborhoods occupied by different ethnic groups are cheek by jowl, formal and informal institutions divide up the space of service or influence, networks of transportation span walking, public modalities, private vehicles, and opportunistic sharing. Such networks are layered and changing, and intersect with the patchiness of economic, social, biological, political, and governance features. Urbanists continue to remark on the stark heterogeneity of urban areas – cities, suburbs, and exurbs – even as the grain size and patch configuration shift with time and use.
Diffuseness. Hand in hand with complexity is diffuseness. The boundaries within urban areas are often porous and functionally indistinct in contemporary urban mosaics. Commuters move great distances, and the direction of travel is often not in a peripheral to central direction. Many places that had been considered peripheral under older conceptions of single metropolitan cores are now destinations for travel that avoids such cores. Diffuseness also extends to governance and institutional arrangements. The issues and solutions for environmental and social problems are managed by collections of governments, non-governmental organizations that operate at various scales, and linked civil society activities. Likewise investments and disinvestment span neighborhoods, districts, municipalities, and different kinds of lands in extensive urban-rural agglomerations.
Connectivity. Closely linked to diffuseness is connectivity. The porosity of official and vernacular boundaries within urban regions means that connections between the different areas and included ecosystem types can be extensive. But this connectivity now goes well and commonly beyond any particular urban node or region. Global connections of finance, resources, wastes, cultural influences, talent, and livelihood are rife. Consequently, teleconnections or connections at a distance are now contribute much to the form and functioning of urban regional landscapes. These connections affect farms, rangelands, forest lands, marine and coastal fisheries, for example, as well as more obviously urban places.
Implications for City as Solutions
|A typology of water management designs based on how
they use vegetated and non-vegetated components.
Figure by Brian McGrath, Urban Interface.
The global and regional “facts on the ground” of diversity of type, spatial complexity of mosaics, diffuseness of various boundaries in urban territories, and the connectivity at local, regional, and global scales, must be accounted for in solving urban problems. Indeed, how to exploit these facts is an open question for improving urban sustainability.
The diversity of urban forms means that there is the opportunity for trying different solutions in different kinds and contexts of urban systems. It also means that solutions must be locally tuned and evaluated.
Complexity means that solutions are likely to be heterogeneous even in a single urban region. Adaptive approaches to governance, including that by formal and by informal institutions, are likely to be required across complex urban regions.
Diffuseness means that solutions – and problems – will sometimes not respect formal boundaries. Highly localized control and decision making cannot succeed without at least accounting for the positive and negative effects on adjoining patches or ecosystem types, neighborhoods and districts. In fact, governance in both its formal and informal manifestations can take advantage of positive outcomes of diffuseness of solutions.
Finally, connectedness means that problems and processes at great distances may have profound effects on any given urban ecosystem. The accessibility of global markets to global factories and the length of global supply chains means that cities are at the whim of corporate decisions and lifestyle changes in countries and continents distant from their local control. Solutions must be sensitive to such global connectivity. Chasing investment that may itself be ephemeral in its geographic focus is a significant challenge. Environmentally sensitive attempts to buffer a system from capricious decisions elsewhere are certainly called for, but planning for adaptive resilience rather than relying only on the rigidity of hard buffers is a major opportunity.
The Inclusive Sustainability of the Urban
A final opportunity for solution exists. As the world population becomes increasingly urban, there may be a tendency to forget about the needs, wellbeing, and influences of those who still live in areas designated as rural. Some nation’s policies are intensely urban focused, such as in China. Other countries, such as those in Africa, face projected increases in populations such that the urban tide cannot help but rise. Rural invisibility is a danger in such situations. Not only must new and existing urban residents be protected from the vulnerabilities of rapid or ill-placed urban development, and exclusion from decision making processes about social and environmental services, but rural residents are at risk as well in this transition. The connectivity of the urban and the rural in rapidly urbanizing countries is extraordinary. In Asia and in Africa, for example, “circular migration” for work and in cities and the resultant disruptions of social capital in both city and countryside are existing or emerging issues. In China, for example, the problem is recognized in policies of “urban-rural integration” which aim to narrow the gap in wealth and services between village and city residents.
The diversity, complexity, diffuseness, and connectivity of urban settlements and rural and wild lands around the world, in specific municipalities, and in urban megaregions means that sustainability itself becomes a spatially and conceptually complicated set of goals and trajectories. The kind of solution a city is likewise becomes a multi-dimensional, spatially extensive approach to sustainability.

SHADES OF HONOR
Seeking solace from the grim images of war, ex-Union officer and widower Radford Grayson returns home to reconcile with his brothers and make a home for his daughter.
The first person he meets is his childhood friend and his brother's fiancée, Evelyn Tucker. Evelyn immediately falls in love with Radford's daughter, Rebecca, and longs to give the child, and the father, security and a peaceful home life. But Evelyn is to marry Radford's brother, dependable Kyle. Evelyn and Kyle are best friends and should be the ideal couple, but independent-thinking Evelyn only agreed to Kyle's proposal to ease her ill father's mind.
With Radford returned, she realizes that what has been missing in her relationship with Kyle is the passion she feels for Radford.
Their forbidden love threatens to destroy the fragile bonds Radford has been rebuilding with his family. But a love like theirs cannot be denied and must be strong enough to overcome complications.
The awesome underlying emotional power of Ms. Lindstrom's story grabs hold as she deftly explores the love between father and child, friends, and the deep, sometimes ambiguous, bonds between brothers. The regrets, the jealousies, the anger and the ultimate love that holds a family together through times of trouble and triumph are all here and guaranteed to move you to tears and even laughter. The first book in a trilogy, SHADES OF HONOR is a portent of great things to come from a very powerful new voice in the genre. SWEET (Jun., 320 pp., $6.50)

A petition which is calling for Piers Morgan to be sacked has been signed by 50,000 people.
The petition on the change.org website describes Morgan as one of the "UK's most heinous public figures".
It argues that by keeping the controversial presenter in his job "ITV are actively choosing to promote an insidious agenda against transgender people and minorities".
It also claims that through his choice of language he regularly berates and mocks those who do not identify in a way he is willing to comprehend.
The petition was set up by set up by Liam Austen and is addressed to Dame Carolyn McCall, Chief Executive of ITV, and editor of Good Morning Britain, Neil Thompson.
Austin claims on the website that Morgan is a hated figure due to mistakes he alleges he has made during his career.
The presenter and ITV have been approached by Daily Star Online for comment.
Fans rushed to Twitter to share their views along with sharing the petition, one wrote: "Surely he's on how way out now?"
A second said: "Bye Piers," followed by the laughing emoji.
Morgan let rip this week after being accused of buying Twitter followers.
The TV regular saw red after being accused splashing the cash to boost his online profile.
Anonymous Journalist on Twitter who boasts 12,000 followers shared a thread with their followers about Piers' alleged fake bot followers.
Their initial tweet read: "The results are in with regards to @piersmorgan’s fake/bot followers.
Quote tweeting the post to his own 7.5 million followers, Piers raged: "I don't know who you are, but this is an absolute lie.
"I have never bought a single Twitter follower, and wouldn't know how.
"So I strongly suggest you delete this defamatory thread before I take further action. cc @TwitterUK @Twitter."
Morgan has been called the “voice of the nation” after tearing apart culture secretary Oliver Dowden over the numbers of NHS and care workers, and care home residents that have died.

On the eve of the Tony Awards this Sunday, Hamilton star Renée Elise Goldsberry sat down with Vanity Fair to discuss breaking down Broadway’s color barriers, meeting Michelle Obama, and what it’s like to party with the cast of Hamilton. In the video above, Goldsberry confesses that it would be hard to top the party atmosphere in the bus the cast took on the way to the White House. How can any other party compete with the nervous energy of knowing you’re about to be in the rooms where it happens?
But Hamilton is known for attracting huge stars in the audience and Goldsberry says that when Prince came to visit, he threw them one of the best parties of her life. Inviting the cast of both Hamilton and The Color Purple, Prince threw them a party the wouldn’t soon forget. That might help explain why, after he died, both productions gave him lavish on-stage tributes; he left them with a song in their hearts.
Finally Goldsberry explains that the word “musical” doesn’t quite capture the essence of Hamilton. As devoted listeners of the cast recording know, almost every single line of the show is sung. There’s only about five or ten minutes of the production that can’t be heard on the album. So, Goldberry thinks, the term hip-hopera (as in opera) is more appropriate. That’s right, the term isn’t just for Beyoncé reboots of Bizet anymore.

A LITTLE POD FULL OF HISTORY
The word chocolate finds its origins in the Mayan word “XOCOLAT”, which translates into English as ‘bitter water’.
The cacao tree is native to the Amazon Basin in South America, and the Mayans used the fruit of the tree – the cocoa beans – to make a frothy & and rather bitter drink called xocolat. The Mayans revered chocolate and used it to seal important tribal deals and in celebrations of significance.
But cacao has been around a lot longer than that. Some time ago, archeologists unearthed some ancient pots and vessels dating from 1500BC covered in traces of theobromine; a stimulant compound that one finds only in chocolate and tea.
To make xocolat, harvested cacao beans were crushed, and the fresh paste was mixed with water, vanilla, chilli peppers and other spices to make their drink. There was no drying and roasting of the beans the way we do it now to create the richness in flavour and complexity found in today’s edible chocolate, but instead the ancients stuck to drinking their raw cacao brew.
The beautiful thing about these ancient people, is that we understand chocolate to have been an egalitarian household item; often consumed at every meal and by those from all walks of life.
NIBS OF GOLD – The Aztecs
By the time that the Aztecs moved from Mexico into South America in the 13th Century, cacao beans were not only believed to be a gift from the gods but had developed into a currency used to pay for goods and services.
Given its currency status, chocolate consumption was limited to the upper echelons of society and was enjoyed by the general population only at weddings and other festivals. At one point, cacao beans were even seen to be more valuable than gold (we really do understand the sentiment about chocolate’s inherent value here at the Vegan Chocolate Co…).
AN OCEAN TRANSITION – The Spaniards
In around the 16th Century, the Spaniards had sailed to South America and had taken shiploads of cacao beans back to the Spanish court. It’s from there that the beginnings of modern-day chocolate consumption began, with the European tastes adjusting the drinking chocolate recipe to resemble that of modern-day hot chocolate, with sugar, cinnamon and other spices and flavourings.
ALL HAIL THE FIRST BAR –
An English Invention
From that time chocolate was enjoyed only as a drink, all the way up until 1847 when a very cluey bunch of British gents at J.S Fry & Sons created the world’s first chocolate bar. They did this through combining a paste of sugar, chocolate liquor and cocoa butter into a moulded bar shape. All hail J.S. Fry & Sons for that piece of brilliance!
Milk was added to chocolate bars many years later by Swiss chocolatiers, taking the previously vegan ingredient list into a different space. And so commercial chocolate production began in earnest.
HEALTH BENEFITS OF CACAO BEANS
What we’ve done at the Vegan Chocolate Co is to bring it back to basics. We have taken out the unhealthy modern additions seen in mass-produced chocolate such as high fructose corn syrup, milk powder and commercial emulsifiers. Instead, we have drawn from the wisdom of the ancients and stripped chocolate back to its rich, purely plant-based origins. We present to you our divinely decadent products that are wholesomely ethical and 100% vegan.
PARED BACK TO ITS HEATHY BEST –
The Vegan Chocolate Co.
What many people don’t know, is that the freshly harvested beans of the cacao tree are filled to the brim with over 620 different known antioxidants and more than 300 healthy compounds including:
Better still, chocolate has been scientifically proven to be one of nature’s best anti-depressants, as it contains amongst its many healthy compounds the chemical components to human happiness: dopamine and serotonin. Here at the Vegan Chocolate Co., we reckon that whoever said chocolate was bad for you wasn’t up on the science of it all.
We take care to heat our chocolate to the very lowest temperatures possible, so that we retain as much of that goodness as we can in the bars and bonbons that make their way to you.
Admittedly, dark chocolate takes the crown for being the most heart-healthy, antioxidant-rich choice. But our creamy vegan ‘milk’ chocolate bars are equally tempting when you’re looking for a pure plant version of that old crowd-pleasing favourite found in a lighter coloured chocolate bar.
The quality of our products speak for themselves. And in turn, we try our best to be a voice for the planet when it can’t speak for itself. We hope that you enjoy our chocolate as much as we enjoy making it here at the Vegan Chocolate Co.

Labour has traditionally been the party that represents the views of young people and to nobody’s surprise has always had the strongest support of the main parties from Kingston University students.
However, if you asked students which party is leading the charge against Brexit, I would bet my house that the vast majority of them say it is currently the Liberal Democrats.
Under Jeremy Corbyn, Labour has yet to put forward a clear Brexit policy and are essentially fence-sitting as not to split their base of university-educated Remain supporters and working-class Leave supporters.
This tightrope walk that Corbyn is playing is not surprising considering that 60% of Labour constituencies voted to leave in the referendum.
However, the Liberal Democrats have been very clever in how they have taken one part of Labour’s traditional base, the university-educated left-wingers, and given them a more hard-line solution to Labour’s nothing burger.
If you are someone who thinks Brexit is a disaster waiting to happen, why wouldn’t you flock to the party (Liberal Democrats) who say they’re going to make it their main mission to stop it?
The alternatives are a limp Labour Party who is offering god knows what, or the Conservatives and Brexit Party who are offering to leave the EU on October 31 no matter what.
If Labour wants to regain the support they’ve lost to the Liberal Democrats, they should be looking at how Boris Johnson has revived Conservative party support.
Before Johnson took over the reins from Theresa May as Conservative party leader, the part was haemorrhaging support over to the Brexit Party.
May like Corbyn had a very unclear Brexit policy and offered middle-of-the-road solutions that satisfied neither the ardent Remainers or Brexiteers within the party.
From day one of Johnson’s reign he has stated very clearly that Britain will be leaving the EU with or without a deal on the current deadline of October 31.
This has skyrocketed the Tories lead in the polls by 9 points over Labour and has tanked much of the Brexit Party’s momentum as the only party offering a real hard-line option for Leavers.
If Labour wants to regain their support at universities and in the country in general, they must look at how the Tories have regained their once disaffected supporters on the Leave side and do the same but with disaffected Remain supporters who have flocked to the long-time irrelevant Liberal Democrats.

Kenya's tourism planners have for some time been preparing for a slew of Obama-obsessed travelers to touch down in cities such as Kisumu, on the northeastern shore of Lake Victoria. Apparently, there's been a surge of interest in this region from visitors hoping to touch base with the American president's African roots. It wasn't too far from Kisumu, in the tiny village of Nyangoma-Kogelo, that Obama's Kenyan father, Hussein, once herded goats -- that, of course, was before heading to the U.S. to study economics and meet Barack's mother. Obama Senior died in 1982, but the president's step-grandmother, Sarah Obama, still lives in her tin-roof bungalow in Kogelo, which Barack visited during his very brief Kenyan tour in 2006. He met with Mama Sarah but was unable to speak to her because she didn't know a word of English -- perhaps emblematic of the great distance traveled by African Americans. Meanwhile, many of Barack's "relatives" in Kogelo remain impoverished and socially immobile.
Nevertheless, Luoland locals are wildly obsessed with Obama's rise as the leader of the free world. A brand of beer produced here celebrates their hero -- it was originally called Senator but is commonly known as Obama -- and even the local school has been renamed in Obama's honor. If you want to get locals excited, simply mention Barack Obama, and you'll get a positive reaction -- just looking slightly American these days will be cause for onlookers to break into celebration, and the typical casual, heartfelt greeting you're most likely to get from strangers in the street will not be "Hello," but a cheerful "Obama!" -- or perhaps, "Obama?"
By all accounts many Luo are expecting nothing short of miracles from the man -- he is Africa's new hope, with songs written in his honor and a public holiday declared to celebrate his electoral victory. Rumor has it that soon after the election, hundreds of Luo arrived at the airport demanding that they immediately be taken to America -- the land where their brother is president -- despite the fact that most Kenyans can expect to wait years before being granted American tourist visas. Following Obama's victory, in fact, the U.S. embassy in Nairobi shut up shop rather than face the onslaught of demands from people wanting to emigrate to their new homeland. And while officials in Kogelo have proposed setting up an Obama Cultural Home -- with a museum, gallery, library, and leadership center -- in an ironic twist on democracy, the Kenyan government has placed an embargo on members of Obama's extended family, preventing them from freely talking to the media.
It's certain that life in the tiny village of Kogelo will never be the same. Roads leading there have been graded, and the Kenya Power and Lighting Company has hooked the once-sleepy village to the national power grid. Land value in Kogelo has skyrocketed following speculation among investors planning new hotels for the flood of tourists envisaged to hop aboard the Presidential Heritage Tourism Circuit; at press time, tour operators had begun rolling out "Obama Package" tours, but these tend to include only a brief, fairly aimless stop in tiny Kogelo.
A Hole in My Head, Please, Doctor
Kenya's second-largest tribal group (after the Kikuyu, who are most prevalent in the Central Highlands), the Luo have stood out in Africa as one of the few tribes that have historically not included ritual circumcision as one of the initiation practices marking the transition from childhood to adulthood. Before breathing a sigh of collective relief on their behalf, it's worth knowing that, instead of circumcision, young men (boys, really) were traditionally subjected to the removal of six teeth from the lower jaw -- without anesthetic. As in the case of tribes practicing circumcision, during this horrendous procedure, the initiate was not permitted to show even the slightest inkling of pain. Mercifully, the ceremony is no longer common practice.
The Kisii (or Gusii) are another tribe found in Western Kenya whose people have long been renowned sculptors, working principally in soapstone. Their sensitive use of their fine-boned hands meant that, for centuries, traditional Kisii medicine men practiced a form of brain surgery using primitive tools and -- you guessed it -- no anesthetic. Apparently, these traditional healers tapped a small hole in the skull with much the same precision as modern surgeons. It's anyone's guess, however, what they got up to once the hole had been drilled.

Mexico must rethink ambitions after Angola draw
HANOVER, June 17 (Reuters) A year after beating Brazil at the same venue, Mexico came crashing back to earth with a frustrating 0-0 draw against Angola and may have to rethink their aim of reaching the final four at the World Cup.
Just three days short of 12 months ago, Mexico beat the world champions 1-0 at the home of Hanover 96 on their way to finishing fourth at the Confederations Cup.
Mexico's victory was no fluke either as they also fluffed a penalty against Brazil.
But Angola's first ever point in their debut finals against Mexico yesterday was equally not achieved by chance even though the Africans were forced to play the final 10 minutes with just 10 men.
Had it not been their first finals, Angola could have pulled off an even greater shock with a bit more endeavour and confidence going forward.
''There are no easy games at this level and you have to have a little bit of luck for the ball to go in the goal,'' was the verdict of Mexico coach Ricardo La Volpe.
La Volpe's cliches will ring even hollower on a day when Argentina thumped Serbia and Montenegro 6-0 and the Netherlands saw off the Ivory Coast 2-1, creating their own luck and moving in to the second round of the tournament from Group C.
Should Mexico manage to get out of Group D, they will face either the Argentines or the Dutch in the next phase.
So following an uninspired performance by their team against Angola, Mexican fans look likely to awake from dreams of the semi-finals to the reality of crashing out in the second round for a fourth successive finals But Mexican fans now also face a tense final group game against Portugal after the Angola draw and mathematically face the prospect of being eliminated.
A draw against the Portuguese would see them qualify from the group but only an emphatic victory would resurrect any hopes of achieving their ambitions here.

In southern Malaysia, the luxury development known as Forest City stands tall. This massive estate was built by China’s largest developer, Country Garden, at a staggering cost of $100 billion. Spread across four square miles, the estate boasts towering apartment buildings and a white-sand beach overlooking the Johor Strait, with stunning views of industrial plants in Singapore.
Despite grand plans to house 700,000 residents in the next six years, only 9,000 people currently call Forest City home. During my first visit to the estate in May 2022, it seemed abandoned with dark windows in hundreds of apartments and few people on the roads or at the beach. However, my curiosity got piqued when I heard about a security guard at a local condominium who mentioned that only 20 people lived there.
I returned to Forest City eight years into its development and booked a homestay at a condominium unit for 70 Singapore dollars through a property manager. Similar units are available on Airbnb for as little as $38 per night. The owner of the unit based in China declined to comment on the story due to privacy concerns. Despite multiple requests, Country Garden did not respond to Business Insider regarding the status of Forest City.
The unpopulated nature of this massive estate raises questions about its future development and appeal to potential residents. Despite its grand plans, it seems that something is missing to make this luxury development an attractive place to call home.

It's deja vu all over again. Yesterday, Draghi sent EUR and Bund yields surging on his 'hawkish' comments, which he was forced to talk back just over an hour ago, and today the confusion is back and it is the UK's turn as Bank of England governor Carney just hinted that the removal of stimulus is likely to become necessary, reversing on his own dovish stance unveiled just last week. The section in question is the following: Some removal of monetary stimulus is likely to become necessary if the trade-off facing the MPC continues to lessen and the policy decision accordingly becomes more conventional. The extent to which the trade-off moves in that direction will depend on the extent to which weaker consumption growth is offset by other components of demand including business investment, whether wages and unit labour costs begin to firm, and more generally, how the economy reacts to both tighter financial conditions and the reality of Brexit negotiations. These are some of the issues that the MPC will debate in the coming months The reaction, just as yesterday, is a spike in cable and gilt yields.
# As Bloomberg reports,
“Some removal of monetary stimulus is likely to become necessary if the trade-off facing the MPC continues to lessen and the policy decision accordingly becomes more conventional,” Carney said in prepared introductory remarks for a panel at the European Central Bank Forum on Wednesday in Sintra, Portugal.
The comments mark a shift in emphasis after the governor signaled last week that now was not yet the time to start that process. In his speech on Wednesday, he clarified that that was his position as of when the MPC last met on June 15. Lifting rates hinges on whether spare capacity in the economy erodes and the balance between supporting growth and tolerating faster inflation becomes less stark, he said.
“When the MPC last met earlier this month, my view was that given the mixed signals on consumer spending and business investment, it was too early to judge with confidence how large and persistent the slowdown in growth would prove,” he said. “Moreover, with domestic inflationary pressures, particularly wages and unit labor costs, still subdued, it was appropriate to leave the policy stance unchanged at that time.”
# And the reaction is clear, sterling buying...
and Gilt selling...
How long before his remarks are walked back or "clarified"?

PHONE and internet bills should fall after the biggest shake-up of BT since privatisation yesterday. The telecoms giant bowed to pressure from the regulator and set up a new division to be called Openreach.
It will have responsibility for BT's "local loop", the last mile or so of cable between local exchanges and phones and internet connections in homes and businesses. Openreach will have its own management, HQ, and 30,000 staff. Its logo - seen for the first time yesterday - will be painted on 22,000 vans.
The idea is that by making it operate at arm's length it will loosen BT's stranglehold on its fixed-line network making it easier for rivals to compete.

A Sioux Police Department spokesman says a woman’s ability to get away from her estranged husband — and quick response by police may have saved her life. Police Lieutenant Marti Reilly says Melissa Powell called dispatchers and told them she was shot in the arm by her husband Dan and she was driving away in her car.
Reilly says Dan Powell followed her and began ramming her car with his vehicle in hopes of getting her to stop. Reilly says they were traveling at speeds of 60-miles an hour before stopping in front of the Tyson’s Events Center. Reilly says Dan Powell continued to fire shots at his wife after they stopped, but drove away as police arrived, and then took his own life after a short standoff.
Reilly says the officer on the scene reported that it looked like Powell’s gun malfunctined and Powell was either reloading on the gun had jammed. He says about one minute later, Powell drew the weapon to his head and shot himself. Reilly says the couple, who have three children, had been involved in previous domestic violence calls.
Reilly says there was a domestic assault case in October, and the couple were scheduled to go to court Wednesday for a protective order, and that may’ve been a motive for the shooting, but they don’t know for certain. Reilly says Melissa Powell’s ability to get in her car and get away saved her life.
Reilly says the fact that Powell was moving kept her alive, as he says the dispatcher kept her moving toward the police station because the time of day made it easier than trying to get cars to her. He says if Dan Powell had succeeded in disabling her car before officers could’ve gotten to her, he’s "fairly certain it would have been a much different outcome." Melissa Powell remains in fair condition at Mercy Medical Center in Sioux City.

War and Peace stretched the boundaries of literature. It has a huge cast and momentous themes: history and the role of the individual – mighty or insignificant – within its upheavals; love and marriage; the pros and cons of acting in accordance with convention; and youth versus age, and death. While he was writing it, Tolstoy called it an historical novel but he later said it was, "not a novel, even less is it a poem, and still less an historical chronicle."
"It is all that, and more," responds one contemporary critic. With Anna Karenina (1878), it is one of Tolstoy's masterpieces.
In 2009, Newsweek ranked War and Peace first on its list Top 100 Books.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) will publish proposed regulations on AR pistols with stabilizer braces on December 18, 2020, and accept public comments on the proposals.
The proposals, which will appear in the Federal Register tomorrow, signal the ATF’s inclination to place at least certain AR pist0ls with stabilizers braces under the purview of the National Firearms Act (1934) and/or the Gun Control Act (1968). This would mean certain AR pistols with stabilizer braces would need to be registered with the ATF through the same process undertaken when purchasing a suppressor, machine gun, short-barreled rifle, or short-barreled shotgun.
Breitbart News possesses a copy of the ATF document, which suggests the ATF first approved stabilizer braces on AR pistols because the braces would help persons with handicaps or otherwise limited mobility/strength steady a pistol with one hand as they shot it.
The ATF suggests the braces are now under scrutiny because they are allegedly being used in a different manner, i.e., fired from the shoulder.
According to the ATF document:
ATF’s longstanding and publicly known position is that a firearm does not evade classification under the NFA merely because the firearm is configured with a device marketed as a “stabilizing brace” or “arm brace.” When an accessory and a weapon’s objective design features, taken together, are not consistent with use of the accessory as an arm brace, that is, not to stabilize a handgun when being operated with one hand, such weapon, configured with the accessory may fall within the scope of the NFA, particularly where the accessory functions as a shoulder stock for the weapon.
The ATF makes clear that their pending re-evaluation of AR pistols with stabilizer braces will be on a “case by case basis, ” as the agency “[evaluates] whether a particular firearm configured with a stabilizing brace bears the objective features of a firearm designed and intended to be fired from the shoulder, and thus subject to the NFA.”
The NRA responded to the ATF’s reevaluation of AR Pistols with stabilizer braces by pledging to fight any reclassification and suggesting the ATF is “[signaling] that is is ready and eager to collaborate with [President-elect] Joe Biden, [Vice President-elect] Kamala Harris, and other gun control extremists to infringe on our Second Amendment rights.”

We’re facing the most serious national security crisis in a generation. This is worse than Watergate, when President Nixon covered up a crime against the Democrats. This is a coverup of crimes against the United States of America.
U.S. intelligence agencies agree that Russia wanted Donald Trump elected president, and we know that Russia hacked our election to help make that happen. On top of that, President Trump’s refusal to release his tax returns and Republican efforts to conceal them leave us all wondering: Who is Donald Trump really working for?
Now President Trump has fired Sally Yates, Preet Bharara, and James Comey – all of them abruptly, and as each was overseeing an investigation of him.
You deserve answers. This is about putting our national security before partisan politics and getting to the truth. We must have an independent, 9/11-style investigation – one that holds public and classified hearings and has subpoena power – into Russia’s hacking of our election and Trump’s connections to Russia. And we need an independent prosecutor to bring any wrongdoers to justice.
Call congressional leaders today and demand an independent investigation: 202-224-3121.

5G regulatory considerations will impact design of 5G networks
Aug 23, 2017
5G Americas announces new report on Regulatory Policies and Spectrum Sharing
BELLEVUE, Wash. – August 23, 2017 – 5G Americas, the industry trade association and voice of 5G and LTE for the Americas, today announced the publication of the 5G Regulatory Policy Considerations and Spectrum Sharing white paper outlining regulatory requirements that will affect the design and deployment of 5G networks. Regulatory requirements primarily concern the need for 5G networks to support existing emergency and government services and provide the ability to offer new public services.
The 5G Americas white paper examines two important aspects of 5G network deployment and use: regulations and shared spectrum. The paper addresses all 5G radio interface technologies, including 3GPP NR (New Radio) and explains the pertinent detailed regulatory aspects.
In addition to existing emergency and government services, it is expected that 5G systems with their improved speeds, increased network capacity and improved reliability will provide the ability to offer new public services. Probably one of the most important services will be vehicle-to-vehicle communications that can make our travel and our roads safer.
“Over the years, the mobile wireless industry has provided important public safety services to society. Recommendations by the industry on ways to continue those critical services under 5G are progressing at this time and are explained in this new white paper,” commented Chris Pearson, President of 5G Americas.
In addition, 5G Americas report details many aspects of shared spectrum and how it can serve as a building block for new network innovations that will help pave the way to full 5G deployments. The 5G system operates best when given large amounts of spectrum. While sole access to spectrum will continue to be a mainstay of major public networks, the ability to take advantage of additional spectrum that is shared with others will provide expansion capacities that may be extremely important to providing subscribers with the speeds and capacities they expect of 5G. Via shared spectrum, enterprises and entrepreneurs can build new businesses and use new business models that were not previously available or that were difficult to achieve in existing unlicensed bands.
5G Americas’ whitepaper 5G Regulatory Policy Considerations and Spectrum Sharing captures the scope of the most important regulatory and spectrum developments in 2017, such as:
- 5G for emergency services
- WEA and 5G
- 5G impacts on earthquake early warning systems
- 5G for public safety
- 5G capabilities for individuals with disabilities
- 5G networks and lawful surveillance
- Spectrum sharing aspects
5G Regulatory Policy Considerations and Spectrum Sharing was written by co-leaders Peter Musgrove and Brian Daly of AT&T as well as representatives from member companies on 5G Americas’ Board of Governors who participated in the development of this white paper.

text: Among US stocks, more new lows than highs and only 105 new 52 week highs on Wednesday, lowest since late August. However, SPY and DIA are in short term support territory. This daily chart shows that the SPY just kissed its lower 15.2 daily Bollinger Band, an important area of support. If this bounce fails, I expect more weakness. But remember, we are near the period when the end of quarter mutual fund window dressing rally in the strongest stocks should begin.

John Cooper is one of the most notorious criminals in British history.
He burgled, raped and murdered during a 15-year reign of terror, which included four executions by shotgun. And, far from keeping a low profile between crimes, he even took time to appear on the gameshow Bullseye.
This year, he was jailed for life. ITV Wales had exclusive access to the police enquiry and forensic science which finally trapped Cooper.
An hour-long programme The Bullseye Killer was transmitted the night Cooper was jailed in May. But it’s still on-line. Follow this link to watch it now.

Ever heard of the ‘Funkjazzhop’ music style? If not, chances are you’ve never heard Dallas-based jazz/funk/hip hop, artist, producer and eclectic adlibber, MrWho??? And that’s not a question, it’s a damn statement! Coincidence would have it that MrWho??? and the granddaddy of funk, George Clinton, share the same birthday. And that’s not all they have in common. Influenced by the likes of Cameo, James Brown Barkays, George Duke, Lakeside, Maze, and Earth, Wind & Fire, MrWho??? set out to make an impact amongst colleagues and peers.
Fate would have it that during 2019, the Dallas creative was approached by Maurice Jones (Kilo M.O.E.) of O.M.G. Entertainment with a producer deal. The label served as a springboard for his first single with Kilo M.O.E., and now MrWho??? releases his whopping debut album “Paint The Sky Funk”.
The overflowing release contains 21 tracks that touch all the funktastic, bizarre and at times brilliant brain waves emanating from MrWho???’s warped mindset. Chant, rants and proclamations, are dished out over driving grooves and jamming rhythms, taking on some modern twists to freshen up the classic funk formula.
MrWho??? pops up in most songs for crazy rhyme interludes and bombastic braggadocios. These tracks manage to combine the artist’s oddball spirit, patented groove, dynamite synths, crashing cymbals, and gorgeous basslines. The album repeats some experimental themes and motifs, sultry riffs and other tripped out vamps.
You’ll find some crazy sorties (“Yo Azz Is In Some Good Trouble”, “Open Up Ya Mind By Mr.Who”, “The Drunk Conversation with Mr. Empty Pockets”) some nasty bumpers (“Pressure”, “Watch The Snakes In The Grass”) and twisted R&B fueled floaters (“Complicated Levels 2 This Shit”, Late Night Long Days”, “All Night”).
There are a few modern day creeds (“Zoom 2 The Moon”, “Its Nice Night 2 Get Funked”, “Mesmerized By The Funk”), some dance-fueled freak jams (“Funkton”, “Blue Grass Funk In The Hood”) and some ambient jazzhop (“Funkjazzhop on Some Moshyt”, “Paint The Sky Funk”), all sprinkled around to kick up some dust from your audio player.
A mega release that fans will devour, “Paint The Sky Funk” is an unwieldy beast of an album, which will overwhelm the casual listener. MrWho??? is a man making music on his own terms – under the groove, from the past, present, future and beyond. Music is moving fast, with Hip-hop and EDM trouncing funk, R&B and just about anything else as the kids’ choice.
Hence it’s great to see someone channel their resources and skills onto some fresh funk fusion. Thanks to MrWho???, funk has now been updated and integrated into the new modern sub-genres and styles. “Paint The Sky Funk” is brilliant at its best, and inventive at its worst.
MrWho??? knew he had to come to the table with something strong, creative, and off the beaten track to make any impact. And he certainly didn’t let the funk down with this ever-mutating monster of an album.
Shifting between styles and hybrid blends with ease, it’s not just a matter of showing them off, it’s how MrWho??? grasps the essential philosophy of each, and manipulates them into something new. He shows on this album, to have a huge and varied musical vision!
