Years ago David Ensor – aka Silky Dave – was told by major record labels that he was trying to do too much in his music. They scratched their heads at his combination of rock, blues, country and pop, unable to figure out which bin in the record store (remember them) they could pigeonhole him.
The would-be actor-musician left Los Angeles in 1990 to return to his home area of Washington, D.C., where, years on, he makes a living performing and teaching guitar albeit “under suspicion,” as he says, instead of “under the radar.”
These days Silky Dave’s category is easier to quantify. He’s still combining his favorite elements from various genres, but Adult Contemporary just about does it. There’s measures of pop and jazz, rock and blues, blues and pop, and an overarching taste of Americana shot through it all, particularly in the twangy “Simple Life.”
“Simple Life” is the disc’s most resonant cut, bringing to bear all of Silky Dave’s strengths, from the smart use of putting Mike McCracken’s bluesy dobro on top of the mix to the lyrical content, which keeps to the theme of the 11-cut collection.
That theme, by the way, seems to be about a wistful yet cynical man nearing middle age and confronting a troubled world and an uncertain future – or resigning himself to living in “Middle Class,” the spare, country-flavored and lyrically honest cut that “Simple Life” melts into.
The theme is hammered home in “This Town Is Breaking My Heart,” which borrows the very Randy Newman-esque idea of painting over a wrenching scene – a homeless man amid a juvenile street gang – with a jazzy piano score. The tune builds nicely on the riff and successfully drives home the sentiment.
“Mama Wants to Know” addresses the concept of failure as the singer sends a message to the titular mother that he is indeed all right – begging the question, why did she have to ask in the first place? By the time we get to the gospel-like all-in finale we still wonder.
That dobro shows up again on “Nine Out of Ten,” a sweet-natured love song that works around the line, “If I had 10 thoughts today, baby, nine were of you.” The great Mary Ann Redmond sings harmony, at times haunting the song like the lover the singer is pining for.
The one true anthem in the collection is “We Need All Your Stars,” a call to arms summarized in the line “When you planet’s crying, there’s no time to fight, we need all your stars out tonight.” Built on a simple acoustic guitar figure, the song builds in the mind and rises in the heart. The video, available on YouTube, showcases the song to terrific effect.
Mike Jarvis’ bass does the heavy lifting early on in “The Dream,” setting the sinister tone for the disc’s most deliberately chaotic cut. “Forty years later, when is the dream going to start?” Is it an end-of-the-world warning or that middle aged man wondering what’s happened to his life?
“Building a Life” is a collection of mature numbers, without the sort of excess or recklessness that comes when one is emboldened by paying for the studio himself. The songs are sharply focused and, a rarity, sequenced in such a way as to make an impact on those paying attention to the premise.
I come to sell my CD, not to praise it. However, it is really good; I say so myself. And I am an honorable man. Roughly twenty years in the making, it was hardly worth the wait, but in the end I was not to be denied the chance to throw my disc into the smoldering embers of the digital economy. I know what you’re thinking (for you too are honorable). “Who is this Silky Dave to seek recompense for his music? Does he not know that music is now free?” While I agree that music these days is often free, I’d like to remind all my cyberfriends that quality studio time, excellent musicians and producers, talented graphic designers, and shrink wrap are not. (OK, I got Jep Epstein to play for free, but I’ve known the guy almost 25 years and he’s not only an honorable man and talented musician but also incredibly generous).
Bottom line: I paid a lot of talented musicians to play on this album, and all I ask in return is that you click on over to www.silkydave.com and check out the samples of the songs on the Music Page. If you like what you hear (and you will; that’s right…I say so myself and I am a repetitive man), you are just a click away from the Store Page where you will have the rare opportunity to fork over twelve bucks (shipping included) and have Silky Dave’s first full length CD, “Building a Life” shipped directly to you. For you cyberkids there’s also a download option for only $7.99…such a bargain. Act now and I’ll not only include this outstanding CD but also…and that represents savings of over…not to mention saving yourself the torment of living another day without the sounds of Silky Dave restoring meaning to your life.
So come on, cyberpeople…..stimulate my economy! You won’t regret it; I say so….right…..but seriously thanks for taking the time to listen and I hope that if it touches you at all (oh, it will…and…) that you will spread the good word throughout your universe (cyber or otherwise) because I’d really like the opportunity to take another shot at this. Your patronage will make that possible, and I thank you.
There is no debate….the final cut of “All Your Stars” is out and it’s even better than the original. Hard to believe I know, but we recovered footage from last week’s hard drive crash
(a short and digitally bloody tale that I won’t frighten you with here) and have incorporated some “lost shots” to enhance your viewing pleasure.
Thanks to all who watched the preview and for all the kind feedback we have received.
This time I ask that if you would like to make a comment, please post it on the YouTube site so that all may enjoy your thoughts. Those of you at a loss for words feel free to cut and paste from the following list:
1. I wasn’t going to vote, but after seeing your video I have seen the light. and he is
Obama! He’s got my vote! Love the bulldog…thanks… Newly Inspired
2.Great video! I’ve already voted for Obama by absentee ballot, but I’m so pumped up after watching the video I’m gonna vote for him again on Nov. 4th.! Obama! Obama!
3. I was going to vote for McCain, but then I looked at this video. Where did you find Abe Lincoln… and those parrots? What makes you so Silky, Dave? You can see Russia from my backyard. I love you Joe Six-Pack! I’ve seen ‘em all but that was one great video, I’m tellin ya’!….thanks so much… toodles…Sarah
We’re hoping your comments will bring more attention to the video and that those of you with time to spare will watch the video again and again and help inflate our “Views” numbers. (It beats watching the DOW Industrials ticker on the cable news channels.) Now, after watching the video and forwarding the YouTube URL to everyone you possibly can and then watching it seventeen more times, you must go to my new website:
www.silkydave.com . It’s still under construction, but most importantly you can download your own copy of the song “All Your Stars” for only 99 cents. I’m not sure why you would want to download more than one copy, but feel free because we’d like to make another video celebrating an Obama victory and we need your support to pull that off. A full CD of Silky Dave tunes should be out in time for Xmas.
That’s the mission. Should you choose to accept it, you can get started here:
Welcome to my website....that little piece of cyberspace where it's all about me.
Aaahhh me...my favorite subject and no doubt not yours, so let me take this opportunity
to thank all the "little people" who helped me to make this little piece of cyberheaven possible....
In the beginning (there was my mother...my debt to her will be paid by trying to remind myself to live each day with some of the grace and humor that both she and her mother shared) was my birthday (oh, glorious day) and on that last celebrated occasion I was given "domain" over all that is silkydave.com by two of my guitar students, Scott Hennessey and Colleen Cruikshank. A very thoughtful gift that reminded me to get off my ass and launch a website.
And so it was (and here she blows...) Lance Cookson, another guitar student (goddamn these people are useful...they give you money and perform unpaid labor) began designing the site in October 2008, despite the fact that he had never designed one before. But kids today are just so freakin' smart, and for a few free guitar lessons, you can't help but be impressed with the result. To lighten the load I found Bryan Bailey on Craigslist (where I find all my good stuff) who was offering to work real cheap in order to flesh out his portfolio. Bryan got us hooked up with WordPress and put some polish on Lance's layout. I'll make sure to have a link to Bryan's work in case you are in need of his considerable talents.
I want to thank all my guitar students whose patronage finances all of this and whose efforts to try and learn a diffcult instrument inspire me every day. I have a page dedicated to them (and of course, Me) which will eventually allow them to have their own posting sites and to swap songs and ideas. You will also be able to check out some of their recordings on the Music page.
Well enough about them...please go learn more about me, and when you're done basking in my cyberglow, please don't forget to navigate to the Store page and give the gift of music to yourself and to all those "little people" you really care about. Because in the end....
it's all about me....OK, and a little about you too ....but more about me...

Until December 1, 2021, Block (SQ) was known by its original name, Square. The company, founded in 2009, had spent more than a decade developing payment systems that helped individuals and small businesses exchange money. The Square payment platform is still one of Block’s most popular products. The small device can turn practically any smartphone or tablet into a point-of-sale system that accepts credit card payments.
Between 2019 and 2020, Block shares bounced between $50 and $75. Like most stocks, SQ dropped considerably on March 20, 2020, falling to just $38. Then, it began a climb that took its price to about $275.
Buying Block became an expensive proposition until late 2021 when the price slid below $200. Today it’s trading closer to its 2019 trading levels than its highs a few quarters ago. So, is it finally the right time to buy Block?
Block’s Financials Show Noteworthy Improvements
Although the share price is back to where it was 3 years ago, Block’s financials have improved considerably since then.
In 2019, the company reported $4.71 billion in revenue. By 2021, it had reached $17.6 billion in revenue. Such rapid growth shows that Block has been able to maintain its customers while expanding its reach.
In percentage terms, Block’s revenue growth has been stellar:
- 2019: 42.9%
- 2020: 101.5%
- 2021: 86.0%
However, the momentum slowed into the first quarter of 2022. The company reported $3.9 billion in top line revenues, a decline of 21% from the same quarter a year prior.
As an aside, Cash App proved to be a huge winner during this time. The company’s major sources of gross profit were split between Cash App ($624 million) and Square ($661 million).
Taking a step backwards on sales cost the company dearly in terms of shareholder value. The share price plummeted. So the question is whether Block has plateaued or can it return to winning ways?
Emerging Opportunities for Block
Block has several emerging opportunities that could reach new customers and generate higher revenues.
Since 2020, it has acquired Credit Karma Tax and Afterpay. Credit Karma Tax will become a part of Cash App. The free, DIY tax service will make it possible for Block to offer immediate tax rebates through its app.
Even if Credit Karma Tax (now named Cash App Taxes) doesn’t boost top line sales directly, it should encourage more people to use Cash App, which in turn should lead to higher user retention, a key metric in boosting customer lifetime value.
Afterpay is also an attractive addition to Block’s suite of consumer-facing products. Afterpay offers buy now pay later (BNPL) services that should appeal to customers who want to avoid credit cards and high interest rates. The service collects 4% to 6% from companies that accept its BNPL option. Afterpay is generally regarded as the leader in the BNPL industry with Klarna ranking second and Affirm third.
Assuming that these services attract more individuals and businesses to Block’s ecosystem, the company should have ample room for growth.
Is Block’s Stock Positioned for Rapid Growth?
Based exclusively on its financial performance, Block’s stock price probably shouldn’t have fallen to current levels. The market isn’t always as rational as one would hope, though.
It hasn’t help that the Fed raised interest rates to combat inflation. That move might help the economy in the long run, but it has made investors wary of companies that work so closely with credit. Regardless of Block’s financial performance, a lot of shareholders felt nervous about its future.
Nevertheless, a falling stock price in recent months doesn’t mean the horizon isn’t bright for Block. When we ran a discounted cashflow forecast analysis on Block, we arrived at a fair market value of $74.44 per share, suggesting 15% upside at the time of research.
The consensus among analysts is much more bullish; on average they see Block having an intrinsic value of $137.09, which would represent over 100% upside potential. Either way, the opportunity for Block is likely larger to the upside now than the downside.
Should You Buy, Sell, or Hold Block?
If you wanted to hop on board the Block train in 2020-21 when shares were soaring but couldn’t justify the lofty valuation, now is a much better time to take a swing at bat.
After scrutinizing the company’s financial statements, we see significant upside potential and a generous margin of safety. Of course, the share price can still fall further short-term but the odds favor higher prices in the medium to long term.

Cross-border police scheme to be disbanded
A PIONEERING cross-border policing initiative set up with £600,000 of Home Office funding in the wake of the Tony Martin case is set to be disbanded, it was revealed this week. The Fens project, which was set up in 2001, in the aftermath of the Fenland fa
A PIONEERING cross-border policing initiative set up with £600,000 of Home Office funding in the wake of the Tony Martin case is set to be disbanded, it was revealed this week.
The Fens project, which was set up in 2001, in the aftermath of the Fenland farmer's trial for shooting dead a burglar and wounding his accomplice, aimed to boost cross-border co-operation between Norfolk, Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire constabularies.
But the project, which was later named the Fens Intelligence Unit, will now be disbanded because the three forces believe there are now a number of other similar initiatives already in place effectively doing the same job.
Lincolnshire pulled out of the initiative in March and following recent talks Norfolk and Cambridgeshire have now also decided to call it a day.
You may also want to watch:
North East Cambridgeshire MP Malcolm Moss said there should have been more consultation and discussion over the future of the unit.
He said: "I understand the funding ceased in 2003, but the three county forces agreed to keep it going.
- 1 Loft gives up its secret: £60,000 of cannabis plants
- 2 Police finally pull car from Fens river
- 3 Top Cabinet post for NE Cambs MP Steve Barclay
- 4 Off-duty detective snares £200k drug dealer
- 5 Tractor driver error may have caused freight derailment in the Fens
- 6 Camp Beagle protest arrest on suspicion of ‘intimidation’
- 7 Survey finds staggering 97 cent support for new Aldi store
- 8 County council orders review into £120m lending to This Land
- 9 Six-year-old fundraising for air ambulance charity that helped sister during seizure
- 10 446 catalytic converter thefts in just 8 months reported in Cambridgeshire
"This is a very important issue locally and this potentially could be a bad thing."
Det Chief Insp Simon Constant, central division crime manager, said: "The Fens intelligence unit was an excellent initiative set up for a specific purpose six years ago. During that time, the methods of delivering the necessary policing response have developed hugely with new intelligence functions being established to focus on cross border crime.
"Another dedicated team, the Rural Crime Action Team (RCAT) has been set up tackling crime affecting the more rural communities and now specific neighbourhood policing teams are in place dealing with crime and community issues on a local level."
He added: "In taking the decision to disband the Fens intelligence unit, residents can rest assured that it will not lessen the level of service they receive.

Victorian Treaty Advancement Commissioner, Jill Gallagher AO, will turn the spotlight on the state’s reconciliation process when she presents at Swinburne’s Annual Barak-Wonga Oration on 9 August.
With Victoria recently passing Australia's first Treaty bill, Jill will speak about her involvement in the process and the role community can play in supporting this work.
The Advancing the Treaty Process with Aboriginal Victorians Bill 2018 was passed in the Victorian parliament in June.The Bill establishes a framework for negotiating Treaty and is the culmination of years of consultation between Indigenous people and the Victorian government.
Swinburne’s Annual Barak-Wonga Oration is a key element of the university’s commitment to reconciliation. It is named in honour of two significant Aboriginal leaders, William Barak and Simon Wonga.
As a free public event, the Oration is designed to promote understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander issues in the wider community.
Swinburne’s Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) was last year endorsed by Reconciliation Australia at the Elevate level, the highest endorsement possible. Swinburne is the first university in Australia to achieve this milestone.
Swinburne Vice-Chancellor and President Professor Linda Kristjanson AO will also speak at the Oration, which is organised by Swinburne’s Moondani Toombadool Centre.
About the speaker
A proud Gunditjmara woman, Jill Gallagher AO is a highly respected Victorian Aboriginal leader who has dedicated her life to advocating for self-determination outcomes on behalf of the Victorian Aboriginal community.
Jill's outstanding contribution to community has been recognised with induction into the Victorian Honour Roll of Women in 2009, awarding of the Order of Australia in 2013, and induction into the Victorian Aboriginal Honour Roll in 2015. Jill commenced as Victorian Treaty Advancement Commissioner at the start of 2018.
Entry to the 2018 Barak-Wonga Oration is free, but registrations are required.

It is a word you’ve probably been running into a lot lately but have you taken time to understand the reasons why we all need to live organic?
Things we eat, use, and put on our bodies may or may not have toxic chemicals that end up in our bloodstream, causing health problems and dysfunction. It is our responsibility to know what we are eating and what we are putting on the table for our families and children.
Think of growing a small organic home vegetable or herb garden. Sweet potatoes, yams, tomatoes, peppers, and herbs like mint are very easy to grow here in the topics. Want to learn more about growing your own organic food? Visit Green Butterfly on facebook or email us email@example.com

According to reports, NASA’s TESS space telescope has discovered an alien world that seems to be eerily similar to Earth, orbiting its host star within the so-called Goldilocks or habitable zone, that is, at the perfect distance away from its stars that would allow the planet to have liquid water on its surface and even potentially life.
Meet TOI 700 d
According to a recent statement from NASA, the new alien world called TOI 700 d and is located 101.5 light-years from Earth, in the southern constellation of Dorado, making it a good candidate for future observations by other instruments.
“TESS was designed and launched specifically to find Earth-sized planets orbiting nearby stars,” revealed Paul Hertz, astrophysics division director at NASA Headquarters in Washington.
“Planets around nearby stars are easiest to follow-up with larger telescopes in space and on Earth. Discovering TOI 700 d is a key science finding for TESS. Confirming the planet’s size and habitable zone status with Spitzer is another win for Spitzer as it approaches the end of science operations this January.”
According to experts, TOI 700 d is only one of a few Earth-sized planets that orbit nearby stars, others include several planets in the TRAPPIST-1 system and another smaller collection of exoplanets discovered by NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope.
TESS, which launched in April 2018, is a planet hunter telescope who uses the so-called “transit” method that consists of observing the decreases in brightness caused by potential planets that cross the front of their stars from the perspective of the satellite.
This same strategy was successfully used by the Kepler space telescope, which discovered about 70% of the approximately 4,000 known exoplanets in our catalog today.
TESS is able to successfully monitor large parts of the sky which are dubbed sectors for 27 days at a time. This prolonged observation time allows the telescope to accurately track changes in the brightness of distant stars which may be caused by planets crossing the front of the stars from our perspective.
The star around which TOI 700 d is a small, cool M dwarf roughly 40% of our Sun’s mass and size, with only about half its surface temperature.
TOI 700 was initially misclassified by experts in the TESS database as a star much more similar to our Sun. This suggested that the planets were larger and much hotter than what the actually are. However, the error was identified after experts working with the TESS team reanalyzed the data.
“When we corrected the star’s parameters, the sizes of its planets dropped, and we realized the outermost one was about the size of Earth and in the habitable zone,” explained Emily Gilbert, a graduate student at the University of Chicago.
“Additionally, in 11 months of data, we saw no flares from the star, which improves the chances TOI 700 d is habitable and makes it easier to model its atmospheric and surface conditions.”
There are three known planets orbiting TOI 700. The innermost planet dubbed TOI 700 b is nearly the exact same size as our planet, it is most likely rocky in nature, and orbits its star every 10 days. The middle planet, TOI 700 c is 2.6 more massive than Earth and orbits around its star every 16 days. This planet is most likely a gas-giant ranging in size somewhere between Earth and Neptune.
The outermost world orbiting the star is the exoplanet TOI 700 d. It’s the only one in the star’s habitable zone. It measures around 20% larger than Earth and completes a single orbit around its star every 37 days. It is believed to receive from its star around 86% of the energy that our planet receives from the Sun.
Astronomers theorize that all three exoplanets are tidally locked to their host stars, which means they rotate once per orbit so that one side is constantly bated in daylight, while the other in complete darkness, reveals NASA.
Experts further revealed that since the star around which this exoplanet orbits–TOI 700–is bright, nearby, and so far shows no sign of stellar flares, the system is an excellent candidate for careful mass measurements by current ground-based observatories.

I can’t believe we are already done with week 11! The assignments I did this week were fun for me. I created my video on iMovie, used for the first time, and it came out amazing. I did struggle at first trying to figure out how to have another video clip interrupt the main video. My biggest problem was finding music that I enjoyed and felt like went with my video. I could not find anything on free sound for the life of me. So I did a google search for free downloadable music and found Uppbeat (I tried doing the link but it will continue to take you to my opened account). I highly suggest using that site! I found so much music on there and it is categorized by mood, scenario, style, and so much more.

We had a visiting priest at Lourdes this Sunday. He's been here before, and celebrated a sung tridentine mass on Christmas day last year. He gave a sermon at mass today, and talked about abortion and respecting the dignity of human life. What was the gist of it? A fetus is a human person, and killing an unborn child is no less heinous than killing a nine year old child or a thirty year old person. Distinctions between being a 'human' and a 'person' are subjective and arbitrary and have no place in decisions about whether it is ethical to kill someone.
We need more of him!

This brief clip demonstrates what happens when you film an upright bass while synchronizing the vibration of the strings with the frame rate of the camera. The resulting video makes it appear as though the musician is playing in slow motion when the video is actually playing at normal speed, not unlike the effect of a strobe light. (via Devour)
Update: According to Create Digital Music this phenomenon might have more to do with how a digital cameras capture an image by scanning images quickly from top to bottom. (thnx, Clepsydrae)
Buried in the pages of Leonardo Da Vinci’s famous 15th century notebooks, amongst the sketches of flying machines, parachutes, diving suits, and armored tanks, was a curious idea for a musical instrument that merged the harpsichord and cello. The Italian Renaissance polymath referred to it as the viola organista. The general idea for the instrument was to correlate keyboard fingerwork with the sustained sound of a stringed instrument, but among the dozens of ideas pursued by the gifted artist and inventor, this was one he never explored further. Nearly 100 years would pass before an organist in Nuremberg would build the first functional bowed keyboard instrument, and many others would try throughout history to realize Da Vinci’s vision with various levels of success.
Now, after an estimated 5,000 hours of work over three years and nearly $10,000 invested in the project, Polish concert pianist Slawomir Zubrzycki has unveiled his own version of the viola organista. Not only is the new instrument gorgeous, it’s fully functional and Zubrzycki demonstrated it in public for the first time at the 5th International Royal Krakow Piano Festival a few weeks ago. Above is a video of that performance where you can hear how beautiful the strange instrument sounds. Via the Hindustan Times:
The flat bed of its interior is lined with golden spruce. Sixty-one gleaming steel strings run across it, similar to the inside of a baby grand. Each one is connected to the keyboard complete with smaller black keys for sharp and flat notes. But unlike a piano, it has no hammered dulcimers.Instead, there are four spinning wheels wrapped in horse tail hair, like violin bows. To turn them, Zubrzycki pumps a peddle below the keyboard connected to a crankshaft.
As he tinkles the keys, they press the strings down onto the wheels emitting rich, sonorous tones reminiscent of a cello, an organ and even an accordion. The effect is a sound that da Vinci dreamt of, but never heard; there are no historical records suggesting he or anyone else of his time built the instrument he designed.
Here’s an additional interview with Zubrzycki, where you can see the instrument up close (click the “CC” icon for English captions):
You can learn more about Zubrzycki and the history of the viola organista over at the History Blog.
As part of his ongoing effort to transform weapons into musical instruments, artist Pedro Reyes (previously) constructed a fully mechanized orchestra. Titled Disarm, the collection of eight new instruments were built through a collaboration with several musicians and Cocolab, a media studio in Mexico City.
The team acquired a variety of rifles, pistols, and shotguns seized from drug cartels by the Mexican army and used them to build the musical devices that are controlled by computers and can be pre-programmed to play music. In the video above the Creator’s Project recently sat down with Reyes to learn more about how he “transforms negative instincts into creative instincts.” It’s well worth a watch to see the instruments in use.
You can see more photos of Disarm over at Lisson Gallery in London where it debuted earlier this year. Additionally, many of the Disarm instruments will be at the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh starting October 5, 2013 and the artist is also giving a talk on October 1st.
Armed with a pair of humble wooden chopsticks, a .74 cent plastic comb, and a few other minor modifications, Canadian musician James Hill can convert his ukulele into a ridiculous beat machine. Hill mimics a wide range of rhythmic genres from techno to hip hop in this brief clip shot at a sold-out 2011 show at Don Quixote’s International Music Hall in Felton, California. There’s a lot of build-up and preparation, the music starts around 3:45. (via Devour)
Google Creative Director Alexander Chen (who previously turned NYC transit data into music) recently sat down with his viola and a pair of Google Glass specs to record snippets of video and audio which he then looped and edited to create this miniature orchestra. While the video editing was done externally to Glass, the perspective lends itself nicely to the viola and there’s something sort of life-affirming about the music and snippets of life recorded just beyond the instrument. Beautiful music, well done. (via explore)
Cateura, Paraguay is a small city that has grown atop a massive dump. It is regarded as one of the poorest slums in Latin America, a village where people live among a sea of garbage. Incredibly, the landfill itself is the primary form of subsistence for many residents, who pick through waste for items that can be used or sold. Prospects for most of the children born in Cateura is bleak as gangs and drugs await many of them. But then one day, something amazing happened.
A garbage picker named Nicolás Gómez (known as “Cola”) found a piece of trash that resembled a violin and brought it to musician Favio Chávez. Using other objects collected from the dump, the pair constructed a functional violin in a place where a real violin is worth more a house. Using items gleaned completely from the dump, the pair then built a cello, a flute, a drum, and suddenly had a wild idea: could a children’s orchestra be born in one of the most depressed areas in the world? As you can guess, the answer was yes.
Now a group of filmmakers, producers, and photographers are trying to tell the story of the orchestra through a documentary titled Landfill Harmonic. The orchestra seems poised to offer many of the children opportunities outside of the slum— they are already planning a multi-city tour around the U.S. The movie is currently being funded on Kickstarter and just passed the halfway mark today. Watch the video above and you can learn more over on their Facebook. Backed!
As part of his latest project Imagine, Mexico City based artist Pedro Reyes acquired some 6,700 weapons that were scheduled to be buried (as is customary in mass weapon disposals) and instead collaborated with six musicians to create 50 working instruments as part of a statement regarding increased gun violence in Mexico. The numerous firearms were cut down, welded and formed into a variety of string, wind, and percussion instruments over a period of two weeks last month. Via his blog Reyes says:
It’s difficult to explain but the transformation was more than physical. It’s important to consider that many lives were taken with these weapons; as if a sort of exorcism was taking place the music expelled the demons they held, as well as being a requiem for lives lost. [...] This is also a call to action, since we cannot stop the violence only at the place where the weapons are being used, but also where they are made. There is a disparity between visible and invisible violence. The nearly 80,000 deaths by gun-shot that have occurred in Mexico in the last 6 years, or the school shootings in the US are the visible side of violence. The invisible side is that one of gun trade-shows, neglecting assault rifle bans, and shareholder profit from public companies. This is a large industry of death and suffering for which no cultural rejection is expressed.Guns continue to be depicted as something sexy both in Hollywood and in videogames; there may be actors who won’t smoke on the screen, but there has not been one who would reject the role of a trigger-happy hero.
Surprisingly this is not the artists first project involving the reuse of guns. Back in 2008 he was provided with 1,527 destroyed weapons which he melted down to build shovels to plant 1,527 trees as part of his Palas por Pistolas project. If you liked this also check out the work of Al Farrow. (via my amp goes to 11)
Musician and sound artist Diego Stocco (previously here and here) is known for his unique multi-track music videos that combine sounds sampled from common objects and modified instruments. In his latest video Custom Built Orchestra Stocco endeavored to create nearly a dozen custom instruments, some completely from scratch and others from instruments he acquired with structural defects that he then altered to create new musical devices. The result is pretty amazing. See the full details of the project over on Behance.

According to K. Hovnanian, which developed 77 Hudson, a comparable 2,100 square foot unit would sell for $5 million to $7 million in Manhattan.
Aside from price, 77 Hudson has appealed to buyers for other reason as well, according to Scott Waldman, K. Hovnanian’s real estate broker.
“We’ve had buyers from throughout the New York metropolitan area, as well as from around the globe,” Waldman said. “People recognize what an excellent value 77 Hudson represents for a waterfront building with drop-dead Manhattan skyline views. Our foreign buyers in particular recognize that their homes are a fraction of the price of river-view buildings on the New York side.”

Dressed in full graduation regalia, the 49 students made an impressive sight as they made their way from their home away from home for the past two years, the IB Academy, led by the Head of the IB Academy, Mr Bevan Graham, and Mrs Kathryn Watson, Higher Education Advisor.
The students were greeted by a standing ovation as they entered the Auditorium, before taking their places for the official ceremony. The audience heard firstly from Head of Secondary, Mrs Dinah Hawtree, who spoke of the students’ hard work and dedication, their persistence and teamwork, and the exciting future and responsibilities that lay ahead for them. Mr Bevan Graham, who has guided the students over the past two years with his wealth of experience and steady hand, was next at the podium. Quoting Carl Sagan and pointing to the iconic photograph of the Earth as a pale blue dot in a sea of black, he spoke to the students of their responsibility as stewards of the future of our planet, and encouraged them to grasp every opportunity to make a difference.
Still at the podium, Mr Graham introduced each of the students individually, recognising their personal journey through the IB and their plans for the future, and invited them to come to the stage to receive their graduation certificates from Mrs Wallace, Principal. It was very obvious that pride and relief were in almost equal measure as the students received their certificates, knowing their examinations were behind them and a well-deserved rest lay ahead.
A highlight of the evening came when two students, Alison Li and Adriano Arguedas, came to the stage to speak on behalf of the assembled students. Eloquently and maturely, they each recalled their IB journey; the ups and downs, trials and triumphs. Most of all, the message they delivered was about the strong and united family of students this cohort had been; providing friendship and support in difficult times. In a very poignant moment, Adriano thanked the parents in the audience for giving him this wonderful extended family.
Mrs Wallace’s closing remarks focused on the contributions the students had made to the NAIS Pudong community, their excellent academic performance and the role they had played as leaders of the student body. Her final quote came from a rather novel source, Dr Seus: “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.”
Official photos out of the way, our Class of 2016 joined their parents outside for the traditional cap throwing and reception. The final celebrations will take place with a graduation dinner at the Fairmont Peace Hotel on Friday 27th May.
Congratulations Class of 2016!


2 1/2 years for Cheshire woman who stole $80,000 from family
PITTSFIELD — A Cheshire woman who stole $80,000 from a family member and spent it on items like a car, electronics and trips to a casino and Florida has been sentenced to 2 1/2 years in jail.
Kelly A. O'Laughlin, 37, told people her sudden influx of cash was the result of a large lottery win, according to prosecutors.
The theft was reported to Dalton Police in October 2013 after the homeowners, who were away while renovations were being done, returned to find items in the house disturbed and approximately $80,000 missing from a lockbox.
Assistant Berkshire District Attorney Joseph Yorlano said the theft occurred in early September and about $2,000 worth of jewelry also was reported missing from the home.
O'Laughlin, who was seen on the property by a witness, said she was there to retrieve a phone charger she'd left behind at the house and asked the witness to not tell the homeowners she was there.
When police went to speak to O'Laughlin, they were told she'd left for Florida.
She was arrested while in Florida and returned to Massachusetts in early April 2014.
O'Laughlin pleaded guilty in Berkshire Superior Court on Monday to one count of daytime felony breaking and entering and two counts of receiving stolen property over $250.
An additional charge of larceny from a building was dropped by the state.
Judge John Agostini sentenced her to 2 1/2 years in jail, with one year to be served directly and the balance suspended during a two-year probationary period. While on probation, O'Laughlin must avoid drugs and alcohol and submit to random testing.
The sentence was the result of a joint recommendation between Yorlano and O'Laughlin's attorney, David Pixley.
O'Laughlin will begin her sentence on June 7 and at the Western Massachusetts Regional Women's Correctional Center in Chicopee.

1 Injured in Mission Bay Auto Accident on Mission Bay Drive
MISSION BAY, CA (August 20, 2020) – Early Wednesday morning, a 58-year-old man sustained injuries in a DUI crash on Mission Bay Drive.
The incident occurred at about 5:20 a.m. on East Mission Bay Drive between Clairemont Drive and SeaWorld Drive.
San Diego Police Officer Scott Lockwood revealed that a 21-year-old man drove on East Mission Bay Drive.
However, he lost control of the car and hit a parked vehicle on the east curb. The force of the crash sent the vehicle to crash into a third vehicle.
As a result, responders transported the man sleeping inside the second car. They took the victim to Scripps La Jolla Hospital for treatment of a severe brain bleed. At this time, updates about his condition are unavailable.
Meanwhile, the person sleeping in the third vehicle didn’t suffer any injury. On the other hand, authorities arrested the 21-year-old man on suspicion of DUI. The authorities didn’t disclose his identity.
May this incident be a reminder for all motorists to drive responsibly. Drivers should also keep in mind that distracted driving, speeding, and failing to yield will lead to dangerous road accidents.
What to Do after Crash on Mission Bay Drive
While driving is essential for many to move about in their lives, it is one of the most dangerous daily maneuvers. It is therefore important to know how to proceed in case you find yourself involved in a traffic collision.
On the AAA Foundation Web site, chief executive officer Peter Kissinger repeatedly labeled the epidemic of motor vehicle-related accidents a “public health crisis.”
Mark Sweet, a personal injury attorney at Sweet Lawyers, says that serious car accident cases may call for a separate investigation spearheaded by an experienced lawyer fighting on behalf of the injured party. A lawyer will make sure victims are not cheated from the proper compensation they are owed.

Health Care Costs in Retirement: A Big Shock
May 4th, 2015 by beasleyferber
Most seniors have Medicare Supplement policies. They think that these policies, combined with their Medicare coverage, will pay for most of their health care costs in retirement. Think again. A very interesting report from Fidelity Investments is a shocker. According to the report, a 65-year-old couple retiring this year should plan on spending some $220,000 to cover their health care needs — and this figure does not even include the cost of long-term care! Interestingly, when you retire can have a significant effect on these costs. Those who retire at 62, rather than the traditional 65, should plan on spending an extra $17,000 per year, largely due to paying health insurance premiums before Medicare kicks in. On the other hand, those who retire at 67 can reduce their annual costs by about $10,000 per year. In addition to presenting these startling facts, the study points out that health care costs, in addition to your expected Social Security benefit, should play a significant factor in deciding when to retire.

The couple had announced their plans for marriage in 2008 but were still to set a wedding date. “It’s off. She hasn’t been wearing her ring for a while, but they’re good friends and it’s been really hard for them to fully separate.” Contactmusic quoted a source as telling Life ‘n’ Style magazine.
The news of the split emerges a day after she was unveiled as a celebrity contestant on new U.S. TV dating show The Choice.
“Carmen’s really nervous about getting back into the dating pool, so keeping Rob around makes her feel less anxious about being single. It’s not like they’ll get back together. The romance part is dead. They’re done,” the insider added.

- Researchers studied a patient who had endured gait disturbance, cognitive impairment and urinary incontinence for two years
- At presentation, the patient had a score of 12 on the Mini–Mental State Examination (MMSE) and walked 7.6m in 31 seconds
- A ventriculoperitoneal shunt was placed in the patient, which led to marked improvement in the symptoms
- One month after shunt placement, the patient's MMSE score was 20 and urinary incontinence had resolved. At six months, the patient had an MMSE score of 28 and walked 7.6m in six seconds
Neurologists at Massachusetts General Hospital have published in The New England Journal of Medicine the case of a woman who endured gait disturbance, cognitive impairment and urinary incontinence for two years before she was diagnosed with normal-pressure hydrocephalus and successfully treated with surgical shunting.
At presentation, Nagagopal Venna, MD, director of the Neurology-Infectious Diseases Clinic, and team report that the patient had a score of 12 on the Mini–Mental State Examination (MMSE) and a short-stepped, narrow-based gait. Her time on a 7.6-m walk test was 31 seconds.
Magnetic resonance imaging revealed ballooning of the ventricles. The authors explain that Part A shows that the Evan’s ratio was 0.37 (the upper limit of the normal range is 0.31). The width of the frontal horns of the lateral ventricles was 45 mm and the internal diameter of the skull was 122 mm.
Part B of the figure shows that the callosal angle between the lateral ventricles (white arrow) was less than 90 degrees (normal range, 100–120 degrees). The callosal angle (outlined in white) is measured at the level of the posterior commissure (black arrow) on a coronal plane perpendicular to a line between the anterior and posterior commissures.
A lumbar puncture revealed a normal opening pressure, which is consistent with normal-pressure hydrocephalus. The patient’s symptoms of urinary incontinence, gait disturbance and dementia are also classic manifestations.
Surgical shunting of cerebrospinal fluid is the principal treatment for normal-pressure hydrocephalus. A ventriculoperitoneal shunt was placed, which led to marked improvement in the patient’s symptoms. One month after shunt placement, her MMSE score was 20 and her urinary incontinence had resolved. At six months, her MMSE score was 28 and she walked 7.6 m in six seconds.

Yoga for men: discover the yogi inside you
Did you know that only 20% of French yogis are men?
In 2019, statistics identified 2.6 million yoga practitioners in France, and 80% of them are women!
How can a discipline developed by a man ( Patañjali ) be so neglected by them in our Western culture? In India, men who practice yoga are numerous, and they are even very popular!
You're a man, and you don't dare go to just any yoga class. But know that there are now more and more yoga studios that offer classes for men only.
YOFE offers you original clothes => Men's Collection
And if you want to start yoga alone at home, this article could well motivate you to start practicing!
Yoga for men: And why not?
- The practice of yoga is for “girls”.
- Yoga is not a sport...
- I have no desire to meditate, so yoga is not for me!
But do you really know who is at the origin of the discipline of yoga? A man ! Eh yes ! Yoga is a discipline that is as beneficial for men as it is for women (and even for children).
According to a recent survey conducted by Union Sport & Cycle:
- 93% of yogis practice another sport at the same time
- 44% of them do running or trail running
- 36% of yoga practitioners also do fitness
The benefits of practicing yoga for men
We hear a lot about the benefits of yoga . The only problem is that most of the time it is the benefits of yoga for women that are highlighted.
However, the practice of yoga for men can bring you multiple benefits, and surely much more than you dare to imagine.
Your yoga training will help you develop a steel mind and cultivate self-transcendence; because the techniques and sequences of yoga can turn out to be particularly physical when often we think that a yoga session is "only meditation".
Here are some of the benefits you can get from your yoga sessions:
- Release of tensions (physical and mental)
- Stress reduction
- Reduction of the inflammatory state
- Strengthening of the immune system and elimination of toxins
- Better focus
- Increased muscle tone
- Improved flexibility and overall health through physical activity
But that's not all !
Regular yoga practice is reported to improve sexual abilities and libido through the significant stimulation of blood circulation during workouts.
Doing yoga for men could also help prevent the risk of developing prostate problems . Yoga postures are specific to this male particularity.
Who are the men who practice yoga?
Yoga for men: know yourself better and stay in shape
You don't have to be associated with a certain type of person to start yoga. Many yogis practice with the aim of improving their physical and mental well-being in general, to learn how to channel their emotions, to surpass themselves...
Quite simply, to learn to observe their limits and get to know each other better.
High-level sportsmen and athletes
To give you examples, here are some athletes who practice yoga for men :
- Novak Djokovic, one of the greatest tennis players
- Tiger Woods, famous American athlete and golfer
- Guillaume Néry, freediving world champion and diving expert
- LeBron James, basketball player and one of the best known players in the NBA
- Jonny Wilkinson, great English rugby player…
In addition, the coaches of the "All Blacks", the Arsenal team or the Giants have included the practice of yoga in the training routine of their players.
Do you wonder why top athletes have an interest in practicing yoga ?
It is indeed an excellent discipline to prepare matches or competitions and complete their daily training.
It considerably boosts their sports performance and allows them to enjoy better recovery after exercise.
Rehabilitation and convalescence: yoga to recover or maintain physical abilities
Whether you are athletic or not, you can get hurt in any circumstance in life.
Yoga is therefore the best ally of physiotherapists and other health professionals, to help their patients recover from an injury .
Yoga exercises are excellent for rehabilitation after trauma. They make it possible to stretch, to mobilize the body and the joints gently .
Yoga postures adapted to the male public
The dog heads up
As a man, you naturally have a more muscular upper body than a woman's. This posture allows you to stretch your shoulders and pecs well, and thus facilitate access to more complex yoga exercises, which require a better amplitude of the upper body.
Downward facing dog
This somewhat strange yoga posture is a basic figure of asanas, and it gives you many benefits:
- Complete relaxation and stretching of the neck, neck and back
- Stretching of muscles and tendons in depth
- Improvement of your flexibility after a few training sessions...
The Pigeon Pose
I promise, it's not done on purpose! The yoga postures all have rather funny names...
You may find yourself limited by the flexibility of your hips in various situations, like many men.
This posture is ideal for promoting the opening of the hips and improving your amplitude. Gaining flexibility in the hip joint can be of great use to you in the practice of many sports.
Are you still hesitating to start practicing yoga?
Yofe invites you to consult his latest article: the difference between the good and the bad yogi .
With a little humor and second degree, you will see that yoga is also within your reach!
Do you want to equip yourself for a yoga session or for a night out with your friends?

Could BitTorrent turn out to be an Internet service provider's best friend?
Half a dozen years ago, the popular file-sharing protocol was nothing but a headache for ISPs as broadband users filled their connections with torrent files (most often, movies and songs that were being shared illegally). Things got so bad that one ISP,
The dispute between the FCC and Comcast set off a battle over net neutrality rules that continues to this day. Meanwhile, however, BitTorrent Inc. -- the San Francisco company responsible for the technology -- made an important change to the way the software transmits data. When it senses congestion, it pulls back on the throttle to make room for more time-sensitive data packets, such as audio and video streams. That change has significantly reduced the amount of torrent traffic in peak Internet usage times, to the benefit of ISPs and broadband users alike.
Now the company is trying to take its technology deeper into the Web. On Wednesday it unveiled Project Maelstrom, a browser that's built to surf the Web through the BitTorrent protocol. An ordinary browser draws content from websites directly, communicating with their servers to download Web pages, image files and the like. The Project Maelstrom browser, by contrast, draws content from the closest computer that has a copy available.
The point is to spread out the task of distributing content to avoid bottlenecks. With the BitTorrent protocol, those who download a file can then redistribute all or part of it to other BitTorrent users. This is particularly helpful for content that's in great demand. The more popular a file becomes, the more likely BitTorrent users are to download it from others in their IPS's network. That allows them to avoid the most congested part of the Internet, which is the shared connection between their ISP's network and the rest of the Internet.
The new browser can work this magic only on Web pages and other content published as torrent files or BitTorrent Bundles. But Rob Velasquez, a BitTorrent Inc. product manager, says that change is a relatively small one. Websites would write and design their pages the same way as before; the only difference is in how they'd be served to the public. As with any torrent file, the creator of the site would "seed" the torrent from its computers, but as the pages became popular, they would increasingly be delivered from the browser cache in other Project Maelstrom users' computers.
The browser may be an easy sell to the more than 150 million BitTorrent users around the globe, but that's only part of the challenge for the company. The more difficult part is persuading more online publishers and content providers to create versions of their websites and services that are compatible with Project Maelstrom.
There, the company has to contend with BitTorrent's reputation as a tool for piracy. It's true that BitTorrent is favored by the illegal-downloading crowd; what's less well known is how widely the protocol is used for legitimate purposes. In addition to artists such as Thom Yorke and Eddy Izzard distributing works as BitTorrent Bundles, a number of major Web-based companies, including Facebook,
Like the protocol it's built on top of, the Project Maelstrom browser is a neutral technology, no better or worse at finding pirated works online than any other browser, he added.
BitTorrent Chief Executive Eric Klinker said the company is very clear in its opposition to copyright infringement, even as it acknowledges how its software can be (and routinely is) misused.
"We build technology that delivers the Internet very efficiently," Klinker said. Noting the company's work on BitTorrent Bundles, he said the conversation with content providers shouldn't be about piracy, but "about a new platform ... that will enable people to have more access to this great publishing platform called the Internet."
"That's always where we've been," he added. "We believe in the power of our technology to solve many of the problems of delivery."
Content providers may decide that the potential audience for a BitTorrent-powered browser is so big, it's in their interests to make legitimate copies of their material available through Project Maelstrom. But that's just one reason for them to support the project.
Velasquez and Klinker listed three other benefits of publishing Web pages as torrents. First, Project Maelstrom provides an alternative to expensive hosting services and content distribution networks. Rather than having to scale up server capacity to meet the demand for popular files, a publisher can rely on BitTorrent software to spread the distribution chores broadly.
Second, the current approach to delivering content online is poorly suited to the challenges posed as television broadcasters shift programs from the airwaves (and pay TV) to the Internet. That trend is in its infancy, but the recent moves by HBO and CBS have given it an air of inevitability. Putting all those broadcast shows online would require 66 exabytes (or about 70 billion gigabytes) of data every month, or about as much as the entire Internet carries now. For BitTorrent, which moves 3 to 4 exabytes of data a month, that's a manageable leap, Klinker said. But it's not for the conventional client-server model of content distribution, he added.
Third, BitTorrent's transmissions are encrypted, which makes them more resistant to censorship, throttling and other forms of discrimination by ISPs. That's an appealing feature for content providers concerned about potential interference by ISPs that are themselves content companies.
Although a torrent file can be changed after it's been published, Velasquez said Project Maelstrom may not be the best approach for sites that are constantly updated, such as a newspaper's. The initial converts are likely to be content owners with BitTorrent Bundles to distribute, he added, with other uses emerging over time as the technology spreads.
A preliminary version of the new browser is available by invitation only. Averill said the company converted the most popular Bundles into torrent-based websites to test with the new browser, along with some games, 3-D visualizations, apps and the like.
"One of our goals during this closed [trial] is to identify test publishers for websites and other services. So those will follow," Averill said. "We'll apply all we learn from the test group and proceed responsibly."

Before Texas A&M football hosts Alabama, leaders in the computer semiconductor industry will be on campus for what is being described as a two day summit.
A&M system Associate Vice Chancellor for Research David Staack, says Texas stakeholders who are participating want to pursue 52 billion dollars in federal money.
A co-host of this week’s summit is the Texas A&M Semiconductor Institute, which was created this summer in part to coordinate research and development efforts among A&M system universities and agencies.
Stack says that includes workforce development for potential employers like Samsung, which is building a computer chip plant just over one hour away in Taylor. 75 percent of those jobs will not require a P-H-D.
Joining computer chip manufacturers at the summit are federal and state officials.

NOT GETTING ENOUGH DELTA SLEEP? FIND OUT!
If you have read our September issue—particularly: Sleep Matters—you will know that not getting enough Delta sleep can be detrimental to your health. Scroll down to learn five ways that one can decipher whether they are getting enough Delta time.
1. Not feeling rested, no matter how much time you spend in bed. This can be a sign of sleep apnea—obstructed breathing that causes short, repeated awakenings that prevent the transition into deep sleep.
2. Little pains, otherwise known as myalgias, “the malaise you develop when you’re sleep deprived, that sort of achey feeling,” says Colleen Carney, director of the sleep and depression lab at Ryerson University in Toronto. (This is why she thinks delta sleep is essential for her chronic pain patients.)
3. Middle-of-the-night awakenings longer than 20 minutes—this is technically considered insomnia, and often results in over loading on REM sleep at the expense of delta.
4. Forgetfulness—delta sleep is thought to play a role in declarative memory (involving facts or events).
5. Frequent colds, because deep sleep likely helps mediate the immune system. (That’s why you sleep more when you are sick.)


Bearing the scars of a decade of war: Poignant pictures of life in Baghdad ten years on from invasion
In the early hours of March 20 2003, coalition forces entered Iraq in a surprise 'shock and awe' assault against Saddam Hussein's regime.
A decade of turmoil and bloodshed has followed and the nation's capital city Baghdad still bears the scars of war with bullet ridden buildings and a large military presence on the street.
Military checkpoints on every main street are a stark reminder that Baghdad is not yet the safe haven of peace and democracy that Anglo-American forces set out, unjustifiably or not, to install a decade ago.
Indeed the country is still caught somewhere between violence - a wave of suicide bombings tore through the city just last week - and peace.
But while vast areas in the capital have fractured infrastructure and lack services, others are said to be showing promising signs of recovery.
And as these poignant pictures show, life still goes on in the city which is home to more than seven million people.
Ten years on: These Baghdadi children weren't even born when coalition troops invaded Iraq back in March 2013. Pictures of the country ten years on show that although the area is still a dangerous place to live, life does still go on
Rebuilding: Downtown Baghdad appears to be bustling with cars in this picture taken a decade after Saddam Hussein's regime was toppled. The dome of the 17 Ramadan Mosque is pictured in the foreground
Armed guards: Iraqi policemen guard the entrance to the Baghdad Folklore Museum. The city continues to show the scars of war and a large military presence remains on the streets
Freedom to express themselves: Performers rehearse at the National Theatre for the Athoudron Festival. The future of Iraqi culture and the arts is looking more promising than it did in the bleakest hours of war
Leisure time: Boys play football along Haifa Street which is still heavily scarred from fighting between US and Iraqi forces, left, while Ali Satar rides horses for pleasure in the upscale district of Karada, right. Karada was subject to round the clock curfews and hit by heavy violence at the height of the troubles in Iraq
Building up: Hoseen Samer lifts weights in a gym in the affluent Karada district. The area is said to be one of the more affluent in Baghdad, but it is still a dangerous place to live - almost 50 people were killed in a suicide bombing in the area a day after this picture was taken
Clean up: A young man collects trash in a residential area of central Baghdad. But some areas of the city are still said to be severely lacking the most basic of services
Refurbishing: Workers on scaffolding attach aluminum siding to a building being refurbished on Al Jemhoori Street. Billions of dollars have been invested in rebuilding some of the city's buildings
Then: Iraqi civilians and U.S. soldiers pull down a statue of Saddam Hussein in downtown Baghdad,on April 9 2003, in one of the most iconic images from the coalition invasion
Now: The Ishtar (locally known as Sheraton) and Palestine Hotels stand next to Firdos Square where the statue of Saddam Hussein was pulled down by US forces almost a decade ago
At war: U.S. soldiers look at a burned-out military Humvee vehicle that was destroyed in an attack in the Karada area of Baghdad in 2003
Progress: Ali Hasan and Ali Satar ride horses for pleasure in the upscale district of Karada ten years on, the same area which was plagued by violence in the years that followed invasion
Big business: A street vendor makes shwarma (lamb) sandwiches in Baghdad. Similar to doner, shwarma is normally served in Iraq as small pockets of white bread filled with shaved beef, lamb, or chicken, along with a touch of lettuce, tomatoes, and spicy onion
Surviving: Worker Washer Kilani pushes goods through lines of heavy traffic in central Baghdad. The Iraqi government has recently launched an initiative aimed at driving down unemployment in the country and getting more people back in work
Opulence: A top of the range car showroom in the Al Nahza neighborhood. Only one in 20 Iraqis own cars and most foreign models were banned during Saddam Hussein's reign. Interest in cars is now said to be increasing in the country
June 2004: Cars burn and rubble litters the street as Baghdad's Tahrir Square has been rocked by a deadly suicide bomb during rush hour
March 2013: Iraq security forces search protesters arriving at Baghdad's Tahrir Square, an illustration of the military presence that remains on the streets to try and thwart such attacks from happening again
New world: Iraqi government employees hold a peaceful protest in Baghdad's Tahrir Square
Civilised: These men sit and relax outside a tea room in the Al Fazil area of Baghdad. The image is a stark contrast to the bloody events that these men would have witnessed over the past decade
Political message: An anti-American and Israeli slogan on a billboard reads 'Our strength is our Unity'. Gone are the statues, posters and murals of former leader Saddam Hussein that he had erected all around the country
Unfinished: The Al-Rahman mosque that was started by Saddam Hussein in 1998 and meant to be one of the biggest mosques in Iraq. Building work stopped following the invasion in 2003
Lack of supply: The Dora power plant in Baghdad. One of the main obstacles to Iraq's ongoing development is reported to be the lack of a regular electricity supply, with Baghdad residents receiving on average of just eight hours of electricity a day

Selena Gomez revealed the real reason she has been following her new boyfriend The Weeknd on his international tour.
Selena Gomez and The Weeknd have only been dating for about three months (since January) and the actress and pop singer has already traveled to 10 different countries with the R&B singer.
Gomez and The Weeknd, whose real name is Abel Tesfaye, have been together for his concert performances in Italy, the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, France, the United States, Canada, Brazil, and Argentina. The celebrity couple is currently in South America for The Weeknd’s shows in Brazil and Argentina.

Selena Gomez appeared on the Today show and admitted to Sheinelle Jones that the real reason she was following Abel around on tour was because she was finally able to make her personal life a priority.
After taking canceling the remainder of her tour last year due to mental and physical exhaustion, Selena Gomez flew to Tenessee to take some time for herself and began a program where she had professional therapy for 90 days with a small group of women.
Selena reemerged at the American Music Awards in November, and by January, she had sparked a romantic interest with The Weekend, aka Abel Tesfaye.

The busy actress and singer is currently working on an album, shooting fashion campaigns, and producing multiple television series. However, Selena realized the importance of focusing on herself and her love life, according to Elle.
“I’m actually enjoying finding moments for myself, whether I’m in the studio, and I’ve been in the studio for a week straight and haven’t really said anything about it. I like having a little mystery to where I’m at and I think that makes me feel very empowered.
“That makes me feel in control of where I’m at. Also, I’m taking time to have a personal life so I’m enjoying mixing that because I’ve always been kind of straight work. Now, it’s just taking my time.”
