What is a festival set without a few sneaky little surprises? This year, the acts on Coachella’s 2022 bill have taken that notion and run with it, with everyone and his dog popping up for their five minutes in the desert sun. As day two kicks off, here’s a running total of all the surprise appearances so far.
Phoebe Bridgers and Arlo Parks
Sad girls unite! Arlo and Phoebe first made friends when they performed in St Pancras Old Church in London. This weekend, in the Californian desert, the pair were reunited with Arlo joining Phoebe for stunning renditions of ‘Graceland Too’ and ‘I Know The End’.
Anitta, Snoop and Saweetie
It’s a bold artist who asks a blunt-smoking Snoop to be her hype man but a Vespa-riding Anitta wasn’t shy about being ushered on stage by the D.O.G.G. during yesterday’s afternoon set. Snoop, true to form, then stood back nonchalantly and watched the twerk-bonanza unfold. Later joined by Saweetie, during their collab. ‘Faking Love’, the Brazilian megastar clearly has an enviable phonebook.
Daniel Caesar and Justin Bieber
Popping up for ‘Peaches’ with Daniel Caesar, what’s Coachella without a little Bieber cameo?
Harry Styles and Shania Twain
One for the ages. During his Friday night headline set, Harry brought out Shania Twain for a hip-shaking performance of ‘Man, I Feel Like A Woman’. Followed by a touching moment where Harry told Ms Twain that listening to her songs in the car with his mum was what taught him to sing, the pair duetted on ‘You’re Still The One’. Beat that, Swedish House Mafia!
Harry Styles and Lizzo
Arcade Fire and some inflatable car showroom dummies
Arcade Fire’s friends were perhaps our favourite guests of all. Quiet lads, but they brought the vibes.
Danny Elfman and Wes Borland
On paper, composer Danny Elfman was a slightly peculiar Coachella booking, but the musician raged through a stonking metal-infused set of his legendary film scores – including Edward Scissorhands, The Simpsons and The Nightmare Before Christmas. The true surprise, though, was when he announced that Limp Bizkit’s Wes Borland was flanking him on guitar. Rowdy.
88rising and 2NE1
88rising’s main stage takeover made Coachella history as the first curated performance by a record label but it was the reunion of K-pop girl group 2NE1, after six years, that really made waves.
Billie Eilish, Khalid and Damon Albarn
Billie Eilish is the youngest ever Coachella headliner. You would not blame her, then, for revelling in that moment with just her brother FINNEAS by her side. But instead, she brought two musical guests out to join her on stage. The first, Khalid, to sing their collaboration ‘lovely’. No real surprise there. But when during ‘Happier Than Ever’-opener, ‘Getting Older’, Damon Albarn appeared to sing the final verse with her, fans really lost their minds. Billie then introduced him as ‘Gorillaz’ Damon Albarn’, a move that made sense when the pair then dropped into a version of the band’s ‘Feel Good Inc.’
Billie Eilish and Hayley Williams
Emo kids rejoice, for her second-weekend set, Billie Eilish was joined by Paramore’s Hayley Williams to sing Paramore song, ‘Misery Business’, a decision particularly exciting for Paramore fans as the band retired from singing that song live some time ago. Williams returned to koin Eilish for rowdy set closer ‘Happier Than Ever’.
Karol G, Becky G and Tiesto
“Tonight I feel so happy and so proud to represent my country and my Latina community around the world,” said Colombian megastar Karol G during her main stage debut. The singer brought out fellow Latin artists Becky G and Tiesto to join her set.
Doja Cat, Rico Nasty and Tyga
The first time Doja played Coachella, it was to join Rico Nasty on stage back in 2019. In her first solo set, the artist honoured this legacy, bringing Rico Nasty out for a spiky rendition of their song ‘Tia Tamera’. Tyga later joined Doja for ‘Juicy’.

The Foreground five: our most-read stories for August
Green is good, with three of our most-read stories exploring the past and future of urban parks, squares and open spaces. And we find out that ‘infrastructure’ can serve communities very well if we can get beyond mass media obsession with roads to rethink other pressing priorities.
Streets and roads are the dominant infrastructure concern of governments and most streets are conceived as conduits for vehicles. How might streets be re-conceived to contribute more to communities? And how do green streets help grow caring and just communities?
Many of Sydney Harbour’s built structures are heritage listed but the landscapes that give the Harbour Bridge and Opera House their power are not recognised for their cultural significance. A timely study of the harbour’s “green necklace” of cultural landscapes looks to change that.
Provision of well-engineered transport, energy and other service infrastructure is essential to good urban functionality. But as Australia undergoes an infrastructure boom, let’s not forget these major works can and should contribute to the social, cultural and human qualities of our cities
The release of two important federal government reports paints a long-term picture of the urgent need to reconsider our priorities when it comes to infrastructure spending. So why has media attention focused yet again on roads?
Squares and parks are the most well known public spaces in the world. Resilient and changeable, parks and squares are the central theme of the International Festival of Landscape Architecture, hosted by AILA, in Melbourne this October.

Recovery Period Following Boob Job Surgical Procedure
A breast implant is essentially an international tool that is dental implanted in the bust to transform the physical size, form, and also appearance of an individual’s breast. In reconstructive plastic surgery, breast augmentations can be successfully placed to bring back an abnormal looking breast to a much more all-natural appearance. Breast augmentation is a popular cosmetic procedure for women that have gone through a mastectomy. This kind of cosmetic surgery can likewise be executed on ladies that have undergone a lumpectomy or decrease mammoplasty. This type of surgical procedure can additionally be called boob job mammoplasty. Females that have actually gone through breast augmentation are not always satisfied with the end results. Numerous ladies return to their initial size after having breast implants. Therefore, some females might require to obtain multiple surgical procedures to attain the desired bust dimension. Along with the variety of procedures that one may require, there are several reasons that a lady might need extra procedures. Ladies who have breast augmentation go to raised threat for forming mark tissue as well as anxiety from the implants.
The increased risk for anxiety has been connected to the fact that boob job introduces additional trauma to the body. The added trauma to the body originates from the development of mark cells and the placement of the implants on the body. Breast enhancement requires a specific quantity of ability and experience before an operation can happen. It is not unusual for a doctor to require to make an anatomical modification in order to appropriately position the implants. It is likewise common for the cosmetic surgeon to require to make use of basic anesthetic in order to carry out the boob job procedure. General anesthetic is commonly integrated with regional anesthetic in order to decrease any kind of risk that is presented by the integrating of both before doing the procedure. There are some surgical techniques that can be made use of in order to enhance the possibilities that a breast implant will certainly stick properly in the busts throughout the enhancement procedure. In order to do this, the person will certainly need to have adequate fat developed around the implant. This fat will certainly permit the specialist to make a laceration into the fat and also usage tumescent liposuction as a way of creating a pocket around the dental implant.
The incisions that are made throughout the procedure will not be as huge as the ones that are made during the removal of fat to avoid as much scar tissue as feasible. The tumescent strategy is one that works much better for females who have a smaller sized breast dimension. Women who have larger busts might not have the ability to make use of the tumescent technique to assist them with the development of the pocket around the implant. After going through breast augmentation surgical treatment, there are a couple of different things that can occur. The majority of clients are able to continue with their normal day-to-day tasks after the surgical procedure. This is because the incisions were tiny enough that there was not as much damages done to the muscle mass and also cells surrounding the lacerations. Some individuals will still have swelling as well as discomfort for a number of weeks after the surgical procedure, however these are only momentary as well as will diminish with time. Many doctors recommend that clients continue to use supportive garments throughout the first couple of weeks after the operation, as they are accumulating the body’s natural resistance to swelling as well as infection. There is no downtime for recovery when it involves these types of cuts, as well as the wound will recover quickly when it has actually been adequately healed.

Address letter to Kiran criticising him for his justification of tariff hike and levy of FSA
Seven Left parties which have decided to launch an indefinite hunger strike on the power issue here from March 23 have said that their agitation this time could be more serious than the one in 2010.
State secretaries of CPI (M) and CPI B.V. Raghavulu and K. Narayana, respectively, will spearhead the agitation this time by going on an indefinite fast along with one leader each from the remaining five Left parties. The agitation is being taken up against the power tariff hike, heavy fuel surcharge adjustment, merchant power policy, diversion of coal and gas explored in the State to other States and APERC’s alleged role in helping private power projects, taking people for a ride.
Leaders of the CPI, CPI (M), CPI (ML-New Democracy), MCPI (U), Forward Bloc, RSP and CPI (ML) had a meeting at the CPI (M) office here on Thursday and made one last appeal to Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy to withdraw the power tariff hike and levy of FSA on consumers. In a letter addressed to the Chief Minister, the Left leaders criticised him for his illogical justification of tariff hike and levying FSA and termed it “anti-people and unjust.”
If the government had to blame only APERC, why did the ruling party have to make a pre-poll promise in 2009 that it would not increase tariff if voted to power again, as it did during 2004-09, they sought to know.
Addressing a press conference later, Mr. Raghavulu, K. Ramakrishna (CPI) and D.V. Krishna (CPI-ML-ND) said the government could not deceive people in the name of APERC any longer as they were well aware that the regulatory body takes a decision only after consulting the Chief Minister.
They urged the Chief Minister to recollect what he had said in 2001 as an Opposition MLA that government would take all decisions and APERC was only a medium.
They appealed to all other Opposition parties to support their stirand build pressure on the government by taking it up in different forms.

Bobby Begay’s immediate family gathered at the longhouse in Celilo Village, a town of only 16 homes overlooking the mighty Columbia River, to begin the ritual of saying goodbye.
COVID-19 arrived at the Begay household in April 2020, and it stole the family’s patriarch in only a few weeks. Inside the longhouse, the family held a seven drums ceremony and ate a final meal — forgoing other traditions that night so they could be completed more safely amid the pandemic.
The day before, as the family met at a funeral home to dress Begay’s body in buckskin clothes and braid his hair, his daughter Daisy Begay turned to a family member and said she couldn’t breathe.
“I just remember being in such a dark place ... I honestly thought I was going to die,” said the 32-year-old, who went on to spend 24 hours in the hospital with her own case of COVID-19.
“I thought my dad could be invincible, you know? And if he can’t beat this, what are my odds?”
Six people in the Begay household ultimately fell ill with COVID-19, emblematic of the disease’s outsize toll on Oregon’s Black, Indigenous and people of color populations. Throughout the pandemic, American Indian and Alaska Natives have recorded the third-most cases per capita and second highest death rate in Oregon; about 2,900 have been infected and 41 have died.
COVID-19 stripped Oregon’s tribal communities of one of their most beloved members — and the loss of Bobby Begay is still felt a year later. A member of the Yakama Nation, Begay, 51, was well-known within Celilo Village and throughout Oregon — and worked as a lead fish technician for the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission, where he was remembered for his enthusiasm and humor.
“He was an incredibly generous person and had a willingness to share not only his harvest, but the message of why salmon, lamprey, and the river are central to our culture,” the commission wrote at the time of his death.
Begay was the only resident of tiny Celilo Village to die with COVID-19. His family has spent the past year coming to terms with his absence, and the community itself is only now beginning to envision life after the pandemic.
“My dad’s teaching to us was, ‘You don’t cry for me. Don’t hold me back,’” his son Steven Begay, 27, said. “His favorite saying was, ‘Life goes on.’ And you know, that’s how we live today. My life is still going on.”
Bobby Begay’s wife, Megan, 44, knows the day COVID arrived at their home: April 6, 2020.
“I can tell you the exact dates because I have it all charted,” she said. “But you don’t ever expect it to happen to you.”
Megan, who met her husband through their fishery work at Bonneville Dam in the late 1990s, moved to Celilo in 2003 and into the family’s home with Bobby and his two children. They later had two children of their own, and eventually a granddaughter as well.
Last April, she watched as five of those family members got sick one by one.
Steven couldn’t get out of bed, had chills and a fever. Then her husband got sick. And then Daisy.
Megan Begay gradually realized she was losing her sense of taste and smell. That lasted for 10 days and was her only symptom. And then Steven’s daughter, Angeleah, 6 at the time, developed a rash all over her body, forcing them to take her to the emergency room.
Bobby and Megan’s son Henry, 14, was sick for 24 hours, while their youngest, Jackie, 11, exhibited no symptoms at all. She became Megan Begay’s “assistant caretaker.”
For weeks, they each stayed isolated in their rooms. Angeleah, who had recovered from her rash, began leaving notes and drawings for them on their doors.
Jackie sat outside her older sister’s room to keep her company and Megan Begay slept in the hallway, keeping charts of temperatures, Tylenol distribution and marking each family member’s symptoms on a calendar.
On April 19, when Bobby Begay began having labored breathing, they took him to the Mid-Columbia Medical Center, where he was diagnosed with pneumonia and sent home. Four days after coming home, he was still complaining of pain in his chest and his breathing worsened.
Megan Begay called the doctor who urged her to call the fire department to come and check his oxygen saturation levels. By the time his levels were checked the following morning, his oxygen saturation was at 56 — a number that would normally render someone delirious.
He was immediately sent back to the hospital on April 23 and placed on a BiPAP machine, which helps push air into the lungs. The next day, as his condition worsened, the Mid-Columbia Medical Center decided to intubate him and prepared to transfer Begay to Portland.
But the transfer never went through. Instead, the hospital called and told Megan Begay to come immediately.
She got a sinking feeling inside and knew it couldn’t be good. She breathed hard, almost hyperventilating, and told Henry, “We need to get to the hospital.”
At the hospital, doctors said his heart stopped and they couldn’t revive him.
Bobby Begay died April 24, less than three weeks after COVID-19 hit the family.
Megan Begay held her husband’s hand one more time in his hospital room and her son sang a religious Wàashat song.
“It’s pretty quick,” Megan Begay said. “It’s a lot of shit in between, but it’s pretty quick.”
Celilo was once home to waterfalls that were used by tribal fishers for over 9,000 years to catch salmon, one of their native foods.
But in 1957, The Dalles Dam was built some 14 miles to the west and the falls along the Columbia River were gone within hours, now a distant memory to the oldest elders on the river.
Bobby Begay taught his son how to fish, how to go smelting, and how to hang nets — carrying on centuries-old traditions of their people on the Columbia River.
“I heard a lot of different stories,” Steven Begay said. “And, you know, just hearing all this sadness of all the other elders who came and talked about the falls, and how they stood on the rocks, watching it being covered, watching it disappear.”
Tribal elder and lifelong Celilo resident Karen Jim Whitford was 5 when the falls disappeared.
She is now one of about 80 people who call Celilo Village their home on a narrow quarter-mile patch of ground overlooking Interstate 84 and the Columbia River.
The longhouse is the focal point of the village and the people from various tribes who live along the Columbia River.
But since the pandemic, the sacred building has largely been quiet — the ceremonies, feasts, gatherings and religious Wàashat services put on hold indefinitely.
Today, Whitford carries with her the sense that she never got to honor the death of her nephew, Bobby Begay. Because of her age and the family’s illness last April, she was unable to attend the dressing, drum ceremony, last meal and burial for him.
“I had no closure to comfort myself, because this was part of our culture, our religion — the ceremonies that we’re supposed to do. And still today, we still don’t have closure,” said Whitford, whose husband, Fred, also became sick with COVID-19 but recovered. “We have no closure to heal.”
On two recent Fridays, Celilo Village began to get a glimpse of the future and a possible return to normal.
The longhouse, dormant through much of the pandemic since the immediate family gathered there to remember Bobby Begay, was transformed into a vaccination center for Native people along the Columbia River.
The clinic could have been held on tribal land miles away, but the Celilo Village longhouse made sense because of its central location and designation as the meeting place along the river. The Celilo WyAm Chief, Olsen Meanus Jr., was approached and the clinic was arranged.
More than 200 doses were made available through a partnership with One Community Health, a federally qualified health center, and Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission.
On Feb. 26, Karen Jim Whitford and her husband received their second doses of the vaccine. Daisy, too.
The same morning, Steven Begay sat in a chair just outside the longhouse as his wife, Rosey Suppah, administered the second shot to him, too, as part of her new position as a nurse with One Community Health.
As people from surrounding tribes filtered through the outdoor vaccination site throughout the day, Steven Begay left to meet his cousin and they returned with a pickup full of tubs of fresh smelts. Bobby Begay’s youngest two children, Henry and Jackie, began sorting through the fish, bagging it and handing it out as gifts to tribal members who’d been vaccinated or were just walking by.
“Natives taking care of Natives is kind of what we always preferred,” Steven Begay said in the days leading up to the event, recalling the lessons he’d learned from his father. “And there’s still a lot of Natives that don’t trust non-Natives, just because of their history.”
Daisy Begay recovered from her bout with COVID-19, but has been deemed a long-hauler, still exhibiting symptoms and experiencing shortness of breath almost a year later. One of the hardest things is convincing skeptics, who she said she still encounters in daily life, that COVID-19 is real.
“My dad just didn’t die from the flu. This is something else,” she tells them.
Steven Begay has recovered, too. And as the oldest son in the family, he has taken on some of his father’s roles.
“He always wanted me to be better than him, which I don’t think I am,” he said. “But I’m doing my best to be the better person of me. And I’m just glad that I got to learn as much as I could from him during the time I had with him.”
Steven Begay’s daughter, Angeleah, is now 7 years old. Every morning she used to wake up with her grandfather so he could make her breakfast, and she’d wait all day for him to get home from work.
Sometimes, he threw her around his neck — calling her a yàamash, the Sahaptin word for deer.
She draws him pictures now, and she points them toward the sky for Bobby Begay to see.

We know so much more about our brains than we once did. Some would suggest too much.
Because neuroscience, once a subject confined to academia and research labs, now belongs to all of us. Every day, it seems, there’s a story in the mainstream media about a study providing fresh insights on how our brain functions or what we do to make it perform better or worse. Scientists can caution all they want that this is a maddeningly complex subject, but in our search to understand why we do the things we do, we more often look for overly simple answers deep inside our heads.
So we tend to take quite seriously any neurological evidence that would seem to explain behavior. Just yesterday, in fact, the journal Science published a study which found that judges–not juries, but judges–presented with a hypothetical case gave lighter sentences to a man convicted of a vicious beating if his file included a statement from a neurobiologist that he had a genetic predisposition to violent behavior.
Most neuroscientists aren’t happy that brain scans are now routinely used to help convicted murderers try to avoid death sentences. The science isn’t that clearcut, they’ll argue. And they’re right.
But the more we learn about the brain, the more captivated we become. This is where science gets personal, where it helps us make sense of ourselves. These days you don’t hear many people say, “The devil made me do it.” More likely they’ll blame their amygdala.
To get a sense of how much brain science is weaving into our daily lives, here are 10 studies published in just the past month:
1) Never gonna give you up: A new study suggests that hoarding is a brain disorder all its own. It long had been characterized as a variant of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). But no more. When hoarders in the study were asked to keep or destroy an object belonging to them–in this case junk mail–the region of their brains associated with decision-making became unusually active. That’s a different part of the brain than what’s usually activated with OCD.
2) Send grandpa a vat of chocolate: Here’s yet another reason chocolate is awesome. Italian researchers have found that a cocoa drink rich in flavanols–the antidioxidants found in chocolate–can help sharpen the brains of people with memory problems. The antidioxidants are believed to protect brain cells and improve blood flow.
3) But make sure he lays off the microwave popcorn: According to another study, this one at the University of Minnesota, the chemical that provides the fake butter taste in microwave popcorn may actually speed up the mental decline of Alzheimer’s disease. The chemical, diacetyl, can lead to the same kind of clumping of beta-amyloid proteins in the brain that causes Alzheimer’s.
4) Why the nose is king of the face: When you have a bad head cold or allergy and your nose is stuffed up, your brain kicks into gear to make sure your sense of smell snaps back to normal as soon as your health does. The brain isn’t able to do that with other senses–when sight is lost temporarily, for instance, it takes much longer for it to be restored.
5) Teenage wasteland: New research concludes brain scans may help predict if a teenager will become a problem drinker. Experts say the findings suggest that heavy drinking may affect young people’s brains right at the time when they need to be working efficiently.
6) And while we’re on the bottle: Alcoholism apparently affects women’s brains differently than it does men’s. A team of researchers in Boston found that heavy drinking over a number of years destroys white brain matter in a different part of the brain for women than it does for men. They also found that women’s brains recover more quickly when they quit drinking than men’s do.
7) Pep talk is cheap: No matter how good your intentions may be, you won’t necessarily help someone by giving him or her encouragement before they make a big decision. In fact, according to a study at Queen Mary University in London, when people received either positive or negative feedback about their performance on complex decision-making tasks, they made worse decisions. Put simply, it’s too much information for their brain to process under stress. So just keep quiet.
8) Thinking small: New research has confirmed that stress and depression actually makes your brain smaller. Yale scientists found that deactivation of a single genetic switch can instigate a cascading loss of brain connections and that’s more likely to happen in brains of depressed people.
9) At last, something good about migraines: As painful and debilitating as they can be, migraines do not cause the kind of cognitive decline that often leads to dementia or Alzheimer’s. That’s according to a new study at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, which gathered data gathered from more than 6,300 women.
10) Who knew brains packed a punch?: And finally, research suggests that the punching power of karate black belts has more to do with how their brain functions than how strong their bodies are. The key, says scientists at Imperial College London, is the fine tuning of neural connections in the cerebellum, allowing them to synchronize their arm and trunk movements more precisely.
Video bonus: Dr. Charles Limb is a surgeon. He’s also a musician. So it probably was inevitable that he wanted to find out how the brain works during improvisation. He shares what he learned about the science of creativity in this TED talk.

Shorthanded Morelanders take opener
FALLS — It was a ballgame set in the theatre of the bizarre.
The Morelanders scored a 15-6 win over Loudenslager in Saturday’s opening round of the Pennsylvania Region 3 American Legion tournament at Pennsbury High School.
The locals will play a winners’ bracket game Sunday, 4 p.m., at the same site against Downingtown, a 1-0 win over host Falls in another first-round game on Saturday.
Just how many Morelanders players will be available to play in Sunday’s game is a bit of a question mark, however.
Just 10 of the team’s 18 rostered players were on hand Saturday. One of the remaining eight has not been with the team all season.
Region 3 officials indicated that several Morelanders players may have played in a game, or games, for other teams on Saturday instead of suiting up with the Morelanders.
If that proves to be the case, those players would be in violation of American Legion rules and likely would be declared ineligible to play in the remainder of the Region 3 tournament.
Players who were absent for other reasons could also be barred from the regional tournament unless they can show they were absent for a legitimate reason, such as work-related issues.
That could be an issue for the Morelanders should they win the regional tournament. According to Region 3 director Jack Purdy, a team cannot play in the American Legion state tournament unless it has a minimum of 12 players available.
Morelander manager Ken Irwin was among the missing on Saturday; coach Jeff Kavanagh was in charge of the team.
“In the past, kids that haven’t been here can come and check in the next day,” Kavanagh said. “That’s what we’re going to shoot for.”
Saturday’s game started just before 10 a.m., and both teams started out as if they were trying to get the sleep out of their eyes. Each team committed five errors.
The Morelanders scored an unearned run in the top of the first, then added five runs in the second without putting a ball in play.
Two Loundenslager pitchers combined to walk seven batters in that inning and hit another.
Tom Robinson’s two-run double was the catalyst, as the Morelanders added three more runs in the third to break the game open.
Robinson finished with two hits and three RBIs. He also worked the last three innings on the mound in relief of Mike Janas.
Robinson missed his absent teammates.
“It’s a little distraction,” he said, “but we knew we could win. We still have a good team.”
Mike Cavanaugh had three hits for the Morelanders, who had several players in unfamiliar positions because of being shorthanded.
Kavanagh said it’s important his troops stay focused in the field.
“They’re not used to playing nine innings,” he said. “We were up 9-3 in the second inning. They just have to keep being reminded that teams can come back on us at any time.”

QUESTION: When mounting the lasers, if it isn’t possible to mount to the shafts, can they be mounted to a flanged sleeve gear type coupling? (The outer “floating hub”, not the inner one pressed on the shaft.) I have seen this done and do not think it is accurate due to the radial clearance between the inner and outer hubs, but others disagree. Thanks!
ANSWER: You are correct. Laser shaft alignment tools work great when mounted to a solid surface, whether it is the shaft or the coupling hubs. But if you mount on the coupling insert, sleeve, or anything else that can flex during the shaft alignment process, it will give you inaccurate results. This is true for laser alignment systems or dial indicators. The reason is the insert, by definition, “floats” or moves during rotation.
If by “floating hub”, you mean something like a Falk Steelflex, with a grid-type connecting “spring”, the hub moves on O-rings, which are mounted to the couplings hubs. It is simply a “cover” to hold grease in and dirt out, and should not be used as a precision surface for shaft alignment either.

The NFC is a quite new and practical technology. This technology is progressively used on Android mobile phones including the Vivo X51. Due to the NFC it is possible to do a lot of things in many fields of activity. So we made the decision to write this article to rough the subject of the NFC and show you how to activate it on your Vivo X51. We will first discover what the NFC is for. We will observe in a second time how to activate the NFC on your Vivo X51. At last, we will explain to you how to use it in different circumstances.
What’s the NFC function on your Vivo X51
The NFC that stands for Near Field Communication is actually a wireless transfer technology. With NFC you may exchange information as well as files between two devices. The attribute of this wireless technology is that it has a range of just a couple of centimeters. It will be necessary that the device with which you use the NFC is highly close to your Vivo X51 so that it works. Thus, the NFC will allow your Vivo X51 to be able to exchange files, to connect to another device or to pay without contact. There are numerous ways to use the NFC of your Vivo X51.
How you can activate the NFC of your Vivo X51
To be able to use the NFC on your Vivo X51, it is necessary that this setting is enabled on the mobile phone. To activate the NFC on your Vivo X51, you must go to the Settings menu of the Vivo X51. Then go to PLUS or ADVANCED PARAMETERS and finally click on NFC. You may then activate or deactivate the NFC of your Vivo X51. If you desire to save a little battery, we suggest you to activate the NFC only if you use it and to deactivate it the rest of the time.
How you can use the NFC with your Vivo X51
Exchange files with NFC
If you desire to exchange files between your Vivo X51 and another mobile phone, you should use the NFC. For this you need to activate the NFC and you must also activate Android Bean. To do this, go to Settings> More> NFC> Android Beam . Once done, just bring the two mobile phones closer and select NFC as an option to share your file.
Pay with the NFC of your Vivo X51
For now Banks are not yet too developed on the payment NFC. To be able to pay with the NFC of your Vivo X51, you will need to do two things. The 1st is to have an app compatible with your bank. The secondary is to configure his credit card or his account in this app.
Connect to a device
If you want to pair a device to your Vivo X51, it may be easier to do it with the NFC. Thus, it is frequently enough to activate the NFC Vivo X51 and stick the phone to the device to generate the association. This is for example the case with some bluetooth headsets.


Hyundai and Kia will be paying a $100 million fine this season, according to the Chicago Tribune, after being accused of inflating their fuel economy ratings. In truth, they are getting off lightly considering the amount of damage they’ve caused. By damage, I am referring to the 4.75 million tons of excess greenhouse gases that have been spewed into the air beyond what the EPA expected. I am also referring to the six gallons of fuel savings that some Hyundai/Kia owners will not be receiving, and also the millions of dollars they will have to spend on gas, that they wouldn’t have had to if their vehicle was delivering the economy it was stated to.
A $400 million dollar class-action suit is in process to help return some of that lost money. Unfortunately, due to the complex nature of the forms that will need to be filled out to receive any compensation, not all consumers will receive any form of retribution. There are over a dozen vehicles involved in this action, including the 2012- 2013 Hyundai Accent, 2012 – 2013 Azera, 2011 – 2013 Elantra, 2012 – 2013 Genesis, 2013 Santa Fe Sport, 2011 – 2012 Sonata Hybrid, 2012 – 2013 Tucson and the 2012 – 2013 Veloster. For Kia the vehicles include the 2011 – 2012 Optima Hybrid, 2012 – 2013 Rio, 2012 – 2013 Sorento, 2012 – 2013 Soul, and the 2012 – 2013 Sportage.
The Big Lie
However, this problem is not all on Hyundai and Kia, as a lot of small economy cars may not be delivering the kind of economy you’ve been told to expect. The data company, Emissions Analytics, have looked at dozens of vehicles, and have found that most small cars (with small engines) do not produce the kind of fuel economy their manufacturers claim. How much less? As much as 36 percent, according to their recent tests. And their most interesting finding is that the smaller the engine, the bigger the difference between the manufacturers claim and its actual economy rating.
Here are a few numbers for you to consider before your next small car purchase. Emissions Analytics found that a 1.0 to 2.0-liter powerplant delivers 46.7mpg on average, compared to its claimed 59.1. A 2.0 to 3.0-liter engine delivers 45 mpg on average, compared to its claimed 52.9. Let’s think about that for a minute. That means that there is almost no difference between a 1.0-liter engine, versus a 3.0-liter engine in terms of its overall fuel economy rating. But it isn’t entirely the fault of the small cars, but rather their overrated engines due to the way manufacturers test the fuel economy of them.
Real World Versus Fuel Economy
Consider a 2.0-liter small car may be able to deliver 60 mpg in a perfect world. This is assuming that such a car will never come across a wind storm, hill, highway, or less than perfectly inflated tires. Every time these cars are forced to reduce speed, they struggle more than other vehicles to return to speed. The result is a drastic decrease in fuel economy, and a false representation of its ‘economy’ rating. In reality, the types of vehicles that seem most capable of dealing with the real world, are vehicles with more displacement and more power.
Now that the EPA is aware that the fuel economy ratings being delivered may not be accurate, we suspect the Clean Air Act will be doing a lot more ‘clean up’ on manufacturers who are using ineffective fuel economy measuring tools. Both Hyundai and Kia have promised to spend $50 million to ensure their future measurements are more accurate, but there are a lot of other brands who could use an upgrade. So, the next time you’re shopping for a small economical vehicle, don’t forget to bring a calculator to the dealership. You may want to take a ‘real world’ test drive around town to get an idea of the vehicles actual fuel economy. A number is just a number unless a manufacturer can deliver proof.
The Potential Disappointment of Downsizing Your Vehicle
(Figures based on research by Emissions Analytics)
|Worst 0.0-liter – 1.0-liter Engine||Manufacturers MPG 60.3||Actual MPG 38.6|
|Good 1.0-liter – 2.0-liter Engine||Manufacturers MPG 59.1||Actual MPG 46.7|


The Charlotte 49ers have found their new head men's basketball coach and he is associate head coach at Virginia Ron Sanchez.
The news was first reported by David Scott from our newspaper partner, the Charlotte Observer and confirmed later today by the Charlotte 49ers Athletic Department.
Sanchez will replace interim coach Houston Fancher who replaced former head coach Mark Price back in December.
This is the first hire of new Charlotte 49ers athletics director Mike Hill.
“Ron Sanchez embodies everything we could possibly want in a head basketball coach,” Hill said in a press release provided by the school. “His reputation is impeccable as a teacher, leader, assessor and developer of talent, and recruiter. Most importantly, he is a man of high character and integrity. This is a great day for the Charlotte 49ers.”
“I would like to thank Chancellor Dubois and Director of Athletics Mike Hill for this incredible opportunity,” said new 49ers coach Sanchez. “I am honored and humbled that they have entrusted me with their men’s basketball program. I have waited a long time for the right fit and I truly believe in the leadership of this department. I cannot be more excited to get started. Obviously, I would not be here without the help of both Dick and Tony Bennett. I learned so much from them during my time at Washington State and Virginia. My wife and children are also very excited to be part of the 49ers family.”
Sanchez has been at Virginia for 9 years under head coach and former Charlotte Hornet Tony Bennett. In his first 6 years at UVA, he was an assistant coach and rose to associate head coach in 2015.
Before arriving in Charlottesville, Sanchez was an assistant coach at Washington State under Bennett for 3 years. During his time at WSU, he was a part of a staff that led the Cougars to the NCAA Tournament in 2007 and in 2008. In 08, the Cougars made it to the Sweet 16.
In the last 5 years, the Cavaliers have made the NCAA tournament all 5 seasons with a Sweet 16 in 2013 and 2016 so Sanchez has been a part of a lot success as an assistant coach.
Sanchez is known as one of the top recruiters in the nation as well as one of the best assistants in the country.
This will be his first head coaching job for a Division 1 school.
On a side note, Sanchez's last trip to Charlotte was not a good one as the #1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament, Virginia was upset by #16 seed UMBC Friday night at the Spectrum Center. That was the first time a #16 seed had ever beaten a #1 seed in the tournament history. All time, the #1 seed is now 135-1 in the first round of the tournament, but that one loss now belongs to Virginia.
That doesn't take away from the season the Cavaliers had as they rose to #1 in the nation for the first time since 1982. They also won the ACC regular season title and claimed the conference tournament title in Brooklyn. The Cavaliers also won 31 games-- the most in a single season in program history.
Sanchez will be announced to Niner Nation at a press conference next week.

Don’t you love when an outfit brings back memories? Or even makes memories? I think it’s so awesome when you put on an outfit and it brings back all the memories from when you wore it last. Last time I wore this dress I wore it to a ballet at the Kennedy Center in DC with my best friend (read that post here!). While wearing the dress I remember picking it out, styling it for the night, taking pictures outside of the Opera house, watching the gorgeous ballet, and getting Taco Bell afterwards. Every time I will wear this dress I’ll be reminded of that amazing day!!
But the memories don’t stop there in this outfit. My dad took these pictures and it was the first time he had taken pictures for my blog, so needless to say I felt a little stupid posing all fashion blogger like. He ended up helping find new places to shoot, and the pictures turned out really well so no complaining here!
I hope your week has been great!! Xx

Radio Down, TV Up For LBI Media In Q2
August 17, 2010 at 4:26 AM (PT)
LBI MEDIA second quarter 2010 revenue rose 9.4% to $2.6 million, but radio revenue fell 1.7% to $16.4 million. The company registered a net loss of $1.3 million, down from a gain of $500,000 in 2009.
CEO and President LENARD LIBERMAN said, "Our second quarter results represent our second consecutive quarter of year-over-year revenue growth, which was driven by improvement in our TV segment and by the performance of ESTRELLATV, our national television network.
"We remain pleased with the performance and steady distribution gains of ESTRELLATV. Over the last three months, we have signed agreements with three new affiliates in WICHITA, KANSAS, RENO, NEVADA and TULSA, OKLAHOMA.

We continue to be in active discussions with potential affiliation partners and are working to finalize a number of additional distribution platforms.
"ESTRELLATV continues to deliver solid performance in the NIELSEN ratings. We ranked fourth among the many nationally rated Spanish language television networks in primetime for May sweeps in the adult demographics. We expect our ratings performance to improve as we continue to invest in our internally-produced programming, add new affiliates and further expand our distribution platform."

... in Wales does little to embrace cultural Wales, so says Dennis Coughlin of the Heath, Cardiff in today's Western Mail (the second letter).
I recently visited the Eisteddfod at Llandow where what seemed an entirely white Welsh speaking gathering were enjoying this traditional event of Welsh language, literature, history and music. I support this subsidised festival because it helps protect the ancient language and culture for this minority who have a long Welsh speaking lineage.But you cannot impose this elite parochial version of Wales on the rest of us. This is your world.Literature, art and history are international and the English language provides access to a cornucopia of cultural treasures from Kafka to Corrie, Socrates to the Simpsons, and Voltaire to The Vulcan. This is my world and I cannot be restricted to cultural borders.
Is Dennis correct, is there a minority elite that has created a cultural border that excludes the majority of peoples in Wales ?
If Dennis is correct there would be a great injustice being played out behind minority cultural doors !
If Dennis is correct .................... remember the 14 July 1789, not every "Bastille" is stone built.

Maverick is currently closed
Maverick Restaurant in Bangkok is a highlight of the dining scene in Sukhumvit, serving modern French cuisine and creative cocktails in a cool dining space free from the stuffiness of old-school French fine-dining. Prices are incredibly good value for this level of creative food and drinks – we would go as far to say, you can’t find French cuisine of this sophistication at such good prices anywhere else in downtown Bangkok.
Maverick is located a few minutes from Asok Junction on Sukhumvit. You can walk from Asok BTS Station and Sukhumvit MRT Underground or take a quick two minute taxi. The restaurant is open from 11:30 to 14:30 for lunch on weekdays, and dinner from 17:30 (closed on Sunday).

Designed by Steve Odell, famed designer of W Bangkok, the layout at Maverick Bangkok is modern, minimalist and very New York in style. As you enter, a sleek black cocktail bar dominates the space, and the work going on behind the bar is very special.
Herb infused liquors and syrups have been painstakingly experimented with to come up with some fine cocktails. Take the Blushing Lady: a martini of gin, crème de famboise, lime and whisked egg white to give each sip some clear weight.
The cocktail most famed is the absinthe and pomegranate mixed with apricot liquor and passion fruit – strong, fruity and expertly balanced. What’s more, throw the skilled bartenders your favourite tastes and let them go to work on crafting something special just for you.
While not exactly molecular, famous French dishes are given stylish touches with a clear focus on attractive plating. Fortunately, the food is as pleasurable to eat as it is to look at.
Escargot (360 baht) are served in a metal tray with thimble-like indents each containing a deliciously soft and tender snail smothered in cafe de Paris butter with garlic, herbs and excellent homemade brioche bread fingers for dunking. Slow cooked ‘sous vide’, these molluscs are so succulent and almost reminiscent of mushroom in texture. Another highly enjoyable starter is the French classic, foie gras terrine (450 baht), served on a spiced crostini, rubarb jelly and tea leafs to garnish. The tastes are typical French but there is playfulness to the dish that is typical of Maverick Restaurant Bangkok.
For mains, go for the duck done two ways (795 baht), with a slow-cooked breast and flaky rillette of the leg, with iodized grapes and butternut mash. The combination of the different cuts of duck is excellent. All of the beef is imported at Maverick Restaurant and prices start at 895 baht for a 180g fillet up to the ultimate sharing dish, the 900g Cote de Boeuf for 3,375. There is an excellent value wine list of European wines here too, and because of a nifty new contraption on hand in the restaurant, almost any wine on the menu can be enjoyed by the glass.
You can’t leave without experiencing their desserts: gooey chocolate moelleux with a tart mandarin sauce, amazingly light raspberry soufflé, and touching on the ‘avant garde’ tag, passion fruit and tofu cheesecake with fennel, black sesame and an intense passion fruit sorbet.

OLYMPIA, Wash. - Attorney General Bob Ferguson is warning Washingtonians about scams related to stimulus payments from the federal government to help people get through the COVID-19 pandemic.
Ferguson clarifies the federal government will not ask to confirm your personal or banking details by email, phone or text message, or demand a "processing fee" to obtain or expedite your payment. Avoid clicking any links in emails or text messages related to stimulus checks and don't provide any personal info.
“Many Washingtonians are hurting financially as a result of the COVID-19 crisis, and urgently need the relief promised by the federal government,” Ferguson said. “Scammers are seeing this news as well, and will take advantage of the opportunity to try to get your personal information. Don’t fall for it.”
Details of when/how the stimulus payments will be provided are not yet decided on, but generally the federal government will use tax information they have on file from the prior two years to either provide funds via direct deposit or mail checks.
Ferguson added that it could likely take several weeks for the Treasury Department to begin mailing checks, and any soon-arriving checks (especially any requiring verification) are scams.
"If you are contacted by a scammer, do not engage — even to tell them you know it is a scam," Ferguson added. "Email addresses and phone numbers that are confirmed to be active are more valuable when selling to other scammers."
Scams can be reported to the Federal Trade Commission.

We are continuing this week featuring a few of the more interesting restaurants that can be found across the USA, and they dont get much more interesting than the KFC Big Chicken. Located on the corner of Cobb Parkway and Roswell Road in Marietta, a suburb of Atlanta, Georgia. The chicken was built in 1963 over the top of a chicken shop that was later to become a KFC franchise. It was part of a wave of Novelty architecture that swept the States in the 60s that led to other famous buildings being built across the country shaped like big donuts, big hot dogs and big tee pees. These big structures were originally designed an advertising gimmick to get the car loving American to pull off the freeway into their business rather than the shop down the road. The gimmick worked and what some may consider a very tacky building has become a much loved part of the community. When the chicken was damaged due to a storm in 1993 KFC was forced to rebuild the chicken due to the local communities response.

TORONTO.- The Canadian Opera Company opens its winter season with one of music historys most influential works, Richard Wagners Tristan und Isolde. The COCs 2013 presentation of Tristan und Isolde marks legendary director Peter Sellars company debut and the first time his original, awe-inspiring production has appeared in North America. This multi-sensory experience features video imagery by internationally renowned video artist Bill Viola, who has come up with an image of the scale and scope, grandeur and immensity, and genuine transcendence that Wagner was imagining, says Sellars. COC Music Director Johannes Debus, who conducts his first production of Tristan und Isolde, leads the COC Orchestra and Chorus through Wagners epic masterpiece as well as an acclaimed cast led by celebrated Canadian tenor Ben Heppner in a role for which critics have hailed him as the great Tristan of this generation (Associated Press). Last seen at the COC in 1987, Tristan und Isolde returns for seven performances at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts on January 29, February 2, 8, 14, 17, 20 and 23, 2013, and is sung in German with English SURTITLES.
The COCs Tristan und Isolde is the first time Sellars production has been performed by an opera company other than Opéra national de Paris, since its premiere in 2005. The design features a 40-foot-wide screen suspended above and behind a somberly lit space, featuring only a square platform for a set piece. Accompanied by video, singers have minimal staging as they project the emotional depth of the piece through their voices.
Renowned theatre, opera and festival director Peter Sellars is one of the most innovative and powerful forces in the performing arts in the world, and he makes his COC debut with this production of Tristan und Isolde. Following his iconic stagings of Le nozze di Figaro, Don Giovanni, and Così fan tutte in the 1980s, Sellars established a reputation for unique stagings of classic and contemporary operas, and has directed productions for Lyric Opera of Chicago, Glyndebourne Festival, Netherlands Opera, Opéra national de Paris, Salzburg Festival, San Francisco Opera and Metropolitan Opera, among others.
Bill Viola is internationally recognized as one of todays leading artists, and has been instrumental in the establishment of video as a vital form of contemporary art. The video imagery he has created for this production provides literal, metaphorical and spiritual complements to the tragic love between Tristan and Isolde.
COC Music Director Johannes Debus conducts his first production of Tristan und Isolde when he leads the COC Orchestra and Chorus. Wagners Tristan und Isolde premiered in 1865 in Munich and is considered to be one the most revolutionary and influential works in music history due to Wagners use of tonality, orchestral colour and harmonic suspension. Wagner raised the union of music and drama to new heights with Tristan und Isolde with the sheer power and passion of its score.
Based on the tragic medieval tale of two lovers fated to share a forbidden but undying love, Tristan und Isolde features two of the most strenuous roles in all of opera. The title characters must sing above a 100-piece orchestra with vocal power and tonal brilliance, and possess the sheer stamina required to sing these roles over four hours of musical performance. At any given time, there are only a handful of singers in the world who are able to meet all the challenges of these two roles.
The COCs Tristan und Isolde marks tenor Ben Heppners long-awaited return to the companys mainstage, having last appeared in a COC production in 1996s Pagliacci. Excelling in some of the repertoires most challenging roles, Heppner is acclaimed worldwide for his beautiful voice, intelligent musicianship and sparkling dramatic sense. In the role of Tristan, hes been praised for his utter honesty and visceral power (New York Times) and called the finest Tristan since Vickers (Fanfare). Singing opposite Heppner is a German soprano known for her mastery of the Mozart, Strauss and Wagner repertoire, Melanie Diener, in her COC debut as Isolde. Cited for her genuine transcendence (The Guardian) and beaming, youthful Wagner voice (Opera Today), Diener has collaborated with many of the major orchestras and conductors of today, is a frequent performer at the prestigious Bayreuth and Salzburg festivals and has been heard at the Metropolitan Opera, Royal Opera House Covent Garden, Opéra national de Paris and the Vienna and Berlin state operas, among others.
Sharing the title roles with Heppner and Diener for two performances (February 8 and 23) are German tenor Michael Baba and American soprano Margaret Jane Wray. Baba makes his COC debut as Tristan. His wide operatic repertoire, ranging from Mozart to Wagner, has created a great deal of demand for his voice. He has performed throughout Germany, Austria, the United States and Japan, and recently gave his debut performance as Tristan at Salzburgs Landestheater. Wray is an award-winning dramatic soprano known for her interpretations of the works of Richard Wagner, and has performed at the worlds major opera houses, including the Metropolitan Opera, Teatro alla Scala, Bavarian State Opera, Berlin State Opera, and Opéra national de Paris.
Matching this acclaimed principal cast is an equally strong and renowned supporting roster of singers. German bass Franz-Josef Selig has established himself on the international arena as one of the worlds most sought-after basses. He makes his COC debut as King Marke of Cornwall, the man betrayed by Tristan and Isoldes love affair. The role of Isoldes maid, Brangäne, is sung by Greek-American mezzo-soprano Daveda Karanas, winner of the 2008 Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions and hailed for her capacious power and a voice lustrous and exciting (San Francisco Chronicle). American bass-baritone Alan Held, a commanding figure both vocally and dramatically (Globe and Mail) and who was noted as on his own is worth the price of admission (Toronto Star) for his star turn in the COCs double-bill production of A Florentine Tragedy/Gianni Schicchi last spring, returns as Tristans servant, Kurwenal. American bass-baritone Ryan McKinney, praised for his elegant and articulate vocalism (OC Register) and powerful voice that drips with gold (Opera News), is the courtier Melot. Rising young artists and Ensemble Studio graduates bass Robert Gleadow and tenor Adam Luther return as the Steersman and the Sailor/Shepherd, respectively.

Written from a historical and cultural perspective, Salvation takes an incisive look at the transformative power of love in the lives of African-Americans. Whether talking about the legacy of slavery, relationships, and marriage in black life, the prose and poetry of Martin Luther King Jr., James Baldwin, Malcolm X, and Maya Angelou, the liberation movements of the 1950s, '60s, and '70s, sexual pain or pleasure, hip-hop and gangsta rap culture, addiction, greed, or the failure of black leadership, hooks lets us know what love's got to do with it.
Combining the passionate politics of W E. B. DuBois with fresh, contemporary insights, hooks brilliantly offers new visions that will heal our nation's wounds from a culture of lovelessness.
Her writings on love and its inextricable links to race, class, family, history, and popular culture raise one pivotal question: How can we create beloved American communities? "Salvation "is bell hooks's journey to answer this question-an offering for everyone who cares about the souls of black folk.

As far as infrastructural innnovation goes, the Venice Film Festival’s new mantra is: “Let’s work with what we’ve got.”
And the grand dame of film festivals’ existing venues can actually become quite classy with some smartly conceived cosmetic surgery, as attested by the revamped Sala Grande, renovated in the spirit of its original 1937 design.
Now that work on the planned $170 million Palazzo del Cinema has halted after toxic asbestos was found under its site, Biennale prexy Paolo Baratta has come up with plan B, which he says fulfills his vision, given that the now-dead new digs were commissioned by his predecessor, Davide Croff.
“What we were doing was building a lavish new monument and killing off our roots,” said Baratta. “We have to make a fresh start with our original buildings, proud of the fact that we are the oldest festival in the world — the one that set the blueprint for all film festivals.”
Last October, Baratta began negotiating with Venice municipal authorities to obtain direct oversight of the festival grounds in which the Biennale has now invested €3.8 million ($5.4 million) to become “protagonists of the renovation.”
In that spirit he has taken over management of the Excelsior Terrace, where the fest started in 1932, and of the Lion’s Bar area, where “Horizons-type” art movies were shown very early on.
The current Palazzo del Cinema was designed by sound engineer Luigi Quagliata who conceived the Sala Grande as a modernist temple of cinema with wood floors and panelling, and without a balcony.
In what Baratta calls “an intelligent restoration,” the refurbished venue now been upped from 1,017 to 1,032 seats, all in brown velvet, and also a slightly bigger screen. The floors are soundproof wood, while wood panelling, like that of the original, is now on the walls.
The next step will be a revamped Sala Darsena with more than 1,300 seats. Reconfigurations of existing venues are on the drawing board.
Plan B for the Palazzo site is now to build a smaller complementary structure there, possibly with digital screens that can also serve for industry screenings.But details of this have yet to be decided.
What is sure is that “the future is something light and flexible; not a monument,” said Baratta.


Kate Hudson took to Instagram to announce her engagement to Danny Fujikawa with a sweet cozy photo that showed off her gorgeous ring.
Kate Hudson is engaged! The 42-year-old actress shared the happy news with an adorable photo of her and hew new fiance, Danny Fujikawa, 35. In the pic, they were leaning in for a kiss while holding onto each other and standing in front of the ocean as she put her hand on his chest. Her engagement ring could be seen as she flashed a huge smile at her husband-to-be.
Kate also wore a white hoodie and had her long blonde locks with sunglasses over her head in the epic snapshot and Danny wore a purple T-shirt and tan baseball cap. “Let’s go! 👰♀💒🤵🏻♂,” the caption for the photo read. Soon after the post was shared, Kate received numerous congratulatory messages from family, friends, and fans.
“Very very great!” one fan enthused while another wrote, “That man is just the luckiest human on the planet. You are sunshine! ☀” A third called them the “perfect couple” and a fourth excitingly wrote, “So happy for y’all!” Many more simply said, ‘Congratulations” and left heart emojis.
Kate and Danny’s engagement comes four years after they first started dating. The lovebirds were friends for decades before they started their romantic relationship in 2017, and have been going strong ever since. They share daughter, Rani Rose, 2, together while Kate also has son Ryder, 17, with her ex-husband Chris Robinson and son Bingham, 9, with her ex-fiance Matthew Bellamy.

A Maverick speaks — tear that Confederate statue downAugust 26, 2017
I have worked in a building overlooking Travis Park for more than 25 years. It used to be a worn, unwelcoming place, but now its lawn and foliage are lush and manicured. The park features an oversized chess set, a dog run, cheery-looking café tables and, on many days, food trucks parked alongside it. There are comfortable benches where you can sit and read the paper or (if you share my vice) smoke a cigar. And once a year, the park hosts a jazz festival, celebrating a uniquely American musical heritage.

Northwestern Pritzker School of Law, informally referred to as Northwestern Pritzker, is located in Chicago, Illinois and has one of the smaller student populations with just under 750. Class sizes also remain fairly small. By offering joint degrees and many clinic opportunities, Northwestern has become a first-rate destination for law students.
Northwestern Pritzker students have the option of enrolling in the Accelerated JD (AJD) program in which students can complete their degree in five semesters instead of six. Some students decide to enroll in joint-degree programs. These include a JD/PhD, a MSJ/MSL with the Medill School of Journalism, or a JD/MBA with the Kellogg School of Management.
First years are required to take a year-long Communication and Legal Reasoning class. Other mandatory courses include torts, contracts, civil procedure, criminal law, property and constitutional law. First years must also participate in moot court competitions, in which they have to present briefs and argue cases in front of a court filled with alumni and faculty. Northwestern Law has also enjoyed recent success at the Jessup International Moot Court Competition, which is the biggest competition of its kind in the world.
Another key element of the curriculum is the clinics; each year more than 120 students enroll in clinical courses. Through the Bluhm Legal Clinic, students help clients with real-life cases. The clinics include the Center on Wrongful Convictions, the Supreme Court Clinic, the Federal Appellate Clinic, the Children and Family Justice Center, the MacArthur Justice Center, the Entrepreneurship Law Center, the Center for International Human Rights, the Investor Protection Center and the Fred Bartlit Center for Trial Advocacy.
Outside of the classroom, students have the opportunity to write and edit the six legal journals on campus. These publications include the “Northwestern University Law Review,” “Northwestern Journal of Technology and Intellectual Property,” and “Journal of Law and Social Policy.” Many students also choose to take on externships; the programs include seminars that go along with 12 to 15 hours a week spent in a Chicago institution like the ACLU or Legal Assistance Foundation. There are also opportunities to study abroad in places like Australia, Belgium, Argentina and Singapore. With more than 50 student organizations on campus, Northwestern Pritzker Law is known for creating well-rounded lawyers who can excel inside and outside the classroom.
