UNITED STATES - Ohio Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) has made $75m (€48.3m) commitments to Carlyle Europe Realty Partners III and Blackstone Real Estate Partners Europe Fund III.
The pension fund chose these value-added commingled funds because it believes that these managers are top performers for European commingled funds - a move which falls in line with the pension fund's overall investment strategy of placing capital with the best-in class real estate managers.
Ohio PERS is expecting to see a projected gross IRR of 20% from the two funds.
The pension fund could yet invest another $150m in closed-end funds by the end of this year while another part of its 2008 real estate strategy was to invest up to $100m in core open-ended commingled funds.
No commitments have been issued yet, however, as the pension fund is concerned about the pricing of core assets.
At the beginning of 2008, the pension fund had allocated $549m for the purchase of properties through separate account managers. The amount spent on acquisitions so far has been $306m.
These deals have so far included buying office, industrial, retail, apartments and hotels but Ohio PERS is taking a guarded approach for future acquisitions because of pricing concerns.
The pension fund has now put off some sales of its existing real estate portfolio for this same reason but it had planned to sell another $300m worth of real estate for this year.
Officials note there the crisis of confidence in the debt market has limited the availability of financing for buyers.
This is partly why it chose these particular funds, as the Blackstone Group is hoping to raise €3bn for Europe Fund III so it can buy public to private distressed debt situations and take advantage of corporate and government real estate sales of hotels, healthcare, student housing and operating companies in the UK and continental Europe.
The Carlyle Group, meanwhile, is looking to raise €1.5bn for Europe Realty Partners III so monies can be invested in assets which have poor physical appearance, need to go through planning approval and have leasing issues in markets such as France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal and the Scandinavian countries.

Barton Cole wrote 1500 words every morning. Barton Cole is dead.
Barton was my high school best friend’s dad, a stalwart component of my teenage years. A former high-end chef, he was an actor, director, writer, and enthusiast of all sorts. He saw my wannabe-anorexic fear of food, and he taught me to love it instead. He taught me the beauty of a delicate flavor, and the confidence required for a soufflé (he said it was mostly about confidence). He gave me books to read, grammatical rules to follow, and a spoon to dip in the mayonnaise jar. He didn’t solve my issues with food, or inspire ME to write 1500 words a day, but he got me on my way. I didn’t learn from him how to be a great chef (I’m not); I learned the power and beauty of food.
While I can still hear his voice in my head, I will imagine he can hear my thoughts and read my words. I’ll picture him handing me another copy of The Elements of Style by Strunk & White, and gently suggesting I refresh my brain on the art of grammar. I’ll hear his disappointment when I refuse to limit my run-on sentences. His pride when I use a pithy word, or turn a phrase like he would. Mostly, I’ll think about food. I’ll share with you what I know. I know so much, and so little, about food. I won’t pretend I know all the answers, and you won’t look to me for perfection. Deal?
I’ll probably cry while I cook sometimes. For Barton, for me, for all of you. Because food is hard — affording it, picking it, making it, eating it — and sometimes we just want to give up and drink liquor instead. Or close our eyes and eat the same meal with no end. It's hard to deal with sometimes — wanting so badly for all to be beautiful and healthy, when it can't always be. Hating that every meal could not be perfected and shared. Sometimes we just need to eat something, anything, in order to make it through the day. That gets me sometimes. What about you? Do you ever hate food? Do you struggle to feed yourself, to connect with yourself?
Barton Cole is dead and gone, dead and gone. But you and me, we have to keep living. And living requires food. Good living requires beauty. I’d love for your help in bringing both to a more central part in my story. I will do my best to help you bring more of both into your life. If we cry a little (or a lot) along the way, or fail to cook, or fail to eat, that’s okay. I believe in you. I believe in me.

President Donald Trump took to Twitter today to defend his Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, alleging that the judge is “under assault by radical left wing politicians,” Reuters news agency reports.
“Judge Brett Kavanaugh is a fine man, with an impeccable reputation, who is under assault by radical left wing politicians who don’t want to know the answers, they just want to destroy and delay. Facts don’t matter. I go through this with them every single day in D.C.”
In another tweet, Trump called on Christine Blasey Ford, Kavanaugh’s accuser, to “bring the filings forward,” so that “we can learn date, time, and place” of the alleged assault.
In his third tweet on the matter, President Trump asked, “Why didn’t someone call the FBI 36 years ago?,” slamming “radical left” lawyers for wanting the FBI to get involved now, 36 years later.
PBS recently published a timeline of the events pertaining to Brett Kavanaugh, Christine Blasey Ford, Kavanaugh’s career and subsequent Supreme Court nomination.
The alleged sexual assault, Ford claims, took place in the summer of 1982. Kavanaugh was 17, and Ford was 15 at the time. In the early 1990s, Kavanaugh served as a law clerk for Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy and then went on to work in the George W. Bush White House, from 2001 to 2006.
In 2012, Ford reportedly told her therapist about the sexual assault. The therapist’s notes were subsequently supplied to the Washington Post. In November 2017, President Trump added Kavanaugh to his list of potential Supreme Court nominees. In June 2018, Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy announced his retirement, and Brett Kavanaugh’s name started hitting the headlines of U.S. media, with Kavanaugh being described as a top contender to replace Kennedy.
On July 6, Ford reached out to a “local government representative” and to the Washington Post with her story about Brett Kavanaugh. On July 9, President Trump nominated Kavanaugh to Supreme Court, and about three weeks later, Ford wrote Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein, detailing her allegations against Trump’s Supreme Court pick.
Ford took a polygraph test, which concluded that she was telling the truth. From September 4 to September 7, Kavanaugh testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee. A few days later, news of Ford’s letter to Feinstein broke out, and the Democratic senator subsequently sent the letter to the FBI.
The Senate Judiciary Committee delayed the vote on Trump’s Supreme Court pick, and Brett Kavanaugh issued multiple statements, categorically denying the allegations.
“This is a completely false allegation. I have never done anything like what the accuser describes—to her or to anyone,” Kavanaugh said.
Judge Brett Kavanaugh is a fine man, with an impeccable reputation, who is under assault by radical left wing politicians who don’t want to know the answers, they just want to destroy and delay. Facts don’t matter. I go through this with them every single day in D.C.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 21, 2018
I have no doubt that, if the attack on Dr. Ford was as bad as she says, charges would have been immediately filed with local Law Enforcement Authorities by either her or her loving parents. I ask that she bring those filings forward so that we can learn date, time, and place!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 21, 2018
The radical left lawyers want the FBI to get involved NOW. Why didn’t someone call the FBI 36 years ago?— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 21, 2018
As Time observed, anger and partisanship have been dominating Brett Kavanaugh’s hearings since day one. With Ford’s sexual assault allegations, this seems to have increased exponentially.
Republicans, conservatives, and Evangelical leaders, and now President Trump himself, have all been defending Brett Kavanaugh, fiercely, according to the New York Times.
Democrats, however, are urging the FBI to get involved. According to the New York Post, the issue could stretch all the way to midterms.

SERIAL PARALLEL SHIFT REGISTER RECElVE MODEM mcmen JUL 1 5 m2 Nahum- 200 o\ v ATTORNEYS GROUND STATION SYSTEM FOR REI'RANSMI'I'I'ING SATELLITE FACSIMILE SIGNALS OVER DIGITAL DATA LINKS STATEMENT OF GOVERNMENT INTEREST The invention described herein may be manufactured and used by or for the Government of the United States of America for governmental purposes without the payment of any royalties thereon or therefor.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The APT satellite system is a unique television system which enables weather satellites to take cloud cover pictures over wide areas and to transmit them to ground receiving stations. The transmitted pictures of cloud patterns signify weather conditions which are thus immediately observable at the receiving stations. A number of naval ships are equipped with APT receiving systems to provide the ships with weather data to improve meteorological interpretations in areas not normally served by weather bureaus. A problem, however, arises due to the fact that APT receiving systems aboard these ships often comprise relatively large and heavy equipments which take up undue amounts of space on the ships. Since space and weight are critical factors on naval ships, it can be appreciated that alternatives to direct reception of satellite information by shipborne APT receiving stations are urgently required. One possible alternative involves the re-transmission of satellite information to remote stations over digital data links. The unique and relatively simple invention to be disclosed herein comprises one such possible alternative.
SUMlVIARY OF THE INVENTION A ground station system for digitally processing APT multigray level facsimile signals transmitted by satellites is disclosed. At the transmit end of the system, APT signals received from a satellite are sampled continuously and quantized to thereby produce gray-shade level coded digital signals. The digital signals are then Gray coded and re-transmitted as a serial bit stream over a digital data link to a number of remote receiving stations. At the remote receiving stations, the received serial bit stream is digitally processed to convert it to analog signals substantially identical to the facsimile pictures received directly from the satellite. The analog signals can be utilized by the receiving stations in the same manner as facsimile pictures received directly from the satellite.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION The primary object of the present invention is to provide a ground station system for re-transmitting satellite APT cloud cover pictures over a digital data link to remote receiving stations.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for re-transmitting satellite facsimile signals to remote receiving stations as an alternative to direct reception of the signals by each of the stations.
Other objects, advantages and novel features of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of the invention when considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein:
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The FIGURE is a simplified schematic block diagram of a system for retransmitting satellite APT cloud cover pictures to remote stations over a digital data link.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT The figure is a simplified schematic block diagram of a system for re-transrnitting APT cloud cover pictures over a digital data link to remote receiving stations. In the FIGURE, a weather satellite which is in orbit around the earth is shown transmitting APT cloud cover pictures in the form of facsimile or analog signals. The signals are received at a central ground receiving station 12 which processes the signals in a manner to be described hereinafter whereby they can be retransmitted over any kind of digital data link to remote receiving stations such as station 14. For purposes of explanation only one remote receiving station 14- is shown although it should be clearly understood that the system to be described would normally be used to provide satellite APT data to a plurality of receiving stations.
The system shown in the figure would normally receive multi-gray shade facsimile signals of the type illustrated and described in pending patent application, Ser. No. 53,046, entitled An Electronic Phasing and Synchronizing Circuit for Facsimile Recorders, filed on July 8, 1970 by Scott D. Morton. Basically the signal comprises a baseband signal which is modulated on, for example, a 2,400 Hz carrier. A phasing bar which corresponds to the beginning of one line of the facsimile picture comprises a pulse of maximum level for approximately 12.5 ms which occurs every 250 ms. The video signal comprises a baseband signal having levels from DC to 800 Hz. Any frequency component above 500 Hz is defined as being small. The detected video signal carries the picture gray shade information. A high level corresponds to white and a low level corresponds to black. Timing is inherent in the 2,400 Hz carrier and each line of picture corresponds to 600 alternations of the earner.
At the central ground station 12, satellite pictures are received by a receiving antenna 16 which could, for example, comprise a directional antenna. The received analog signals are fed to an FM receiver system 18 which can comprise a receiver system of the type disclosed in NASA Report SP- 5080, Weather Satellite Picture Receiving Stations, 1969).
The detected video output signals from the receiver system 18 are coupled to an analog-to-digital (A/D) converter 20 which continuously samples the signals and converts them into digital signals. A/D converter 20 is shown as comprising a direct level (amplitude) detector having an eight distinct signal level output corresponding to eight distinct gray shade levels which can be used to adequately describe most satellite facsimile pictures. Thus the output of the A/D converter comprises a seven-bit word which is coded in a suitable signal level code such as the exemplary code shown in the coding scheme of Table 1 below:
TABLEI Facsimile Signal Level code Gray Binary Level A B C D E F G Code Code 0 O O O 0 0 0 O 000 000 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 001 001 2 0 O 0 0 0 1 1 011 010 3 0 O O O l l l 010 01 l 4 0 0 0 1 l l 1 110 5 0 O l 1 l l l 1 l l 101 6 0 1 1 1 1 1 l 101 7 l I 1 1 l 1 I 100 111 For example, from Table I, it can be seen that if a received facsimile signal has an amplitude gray-shade level corresponding to level 2, the A/D converter 20 will output the seven-bit word 0 O 0 0 0 l 1. Likewise, if an amplitude level corresponding to level 7 is detected in the A/D converter 20, it will output the seven-bit word 1 l l l l 1 l.
The seven-bit word output from the A/D converter 20 is fed to the level code-to-Gray code converter 22 which converts the seven-bit word into a three-bit Gray code word using conventional digital circuitry and techniques. For example, again referring to Table I, it can be seen that the seven-bit word 0 0 0 0 0 l l is converted into the three-bit word 011, and the seven-bit word 1 l 1 l 1 1 1 is converted into the three-bit word 100.
The three-bit Gray code output from the level code-to-Gray code converter 22 is gated by the digital gate 24 at a selectively predetermined clock rate to the parallel-to-serial shift register 26. For example, in the figure, the gate 24 is shown as gating data at a rate equal to F,/3, i.e., every third clock pulse, where F, is the clock rate.
The three-bit Gray code word is converted in the shift register 26 into a serial bit stream having a binary code as shown in Table I. For example, once more referring to Table I, it can be seen that the three-bit Gray code Word 011 is converted into the serial bit stream 010, and three-bit Gray code Word 100 is converted into the serial bit stream 1 l 1.
It can be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the gate 16 and the shift register 18 function together as a buffer shift register or buffer storage.
The serial bit stream is clocked out of the parallel-to-serial shift register 26 at the clock rate F, and coupled to a transmit modem 28 of a digital data link which can comprise any one of various well-known digital data links such as RF data links.
It can be seen that the clock pulses and timing signals are provided by a clock source (not shown) in the transmit modem 28. The transmit modem 28 transmits the serial data over the digital data link by means of the antenna 30.
The receiving antenna 32 receives the transmitted serial data and couples it to the receive modem 34 which is located at the remote receiving station 14. The modem 34 feeds the received serial bit stream to a serial-to-parallel shift register 36 which converts the data stream into a three-bit Gray code word as discussed previously.
The three-bit Gray code is clocked out of the shift register 36 at the clock rate F, to the digital gate 38. The gate 38 transfers the three-bit Gray code word every third clock pulse to the Gray code-to-level code converter 40.
Again it can be appreciated that the shift register 36 and the gate 38 function together as a buffer register or buffer storage.
The converter 40 converts the three-bit Gray code word into a seven-bit word which is level coded as shown in Table I. The seven-bit word output from the level code-to-Gray code converter 40 is then fed to an analog-to-digital (A/D) converter which decodes the word and converts it into an analog signal which is substantially equal to the facsimile cloud cover picture being transmitted by the satellite 10.
The output of the A/D converter 42 can then be coupled to a facsimile recorder 44 or any other suitable display device.
Again it can be seen that the clock pulses and timing signals are provided by a clock source (not shown) in the receive modem 34.
Synchronization (i.e., grouping) of each three-bit word from the shift register 36 can be achieved by using an automatic synchronizer. However, in the figure, word synchronization is achieved by means of a simple synchronizing switch 46 which is connected between the clock output of the receive modem 34 and the digital gate 38. In operation, the received signal is observed visually and the switch 46 is used to inhibit the clock pulse to the gate 38 until word synchronization is visually observed.
A Gray code is utilized in the system because the digital data can be made continuous in a single-step manner. For example, if the facsimile signal received from the satellite has an amplitude level at the boundary between two quantized levels, the digital data will be ambiguous in one bit only. In binary or other existing types of coding, a change in a single level could result in an ambiguity in more than one bit.
For example, by referring to Table I and by assuming that the facsimile signal gray-shade amplitude level is at the boundary between level 3 and level 4 when it is sampled, it can be seen that bit D in the level code will be in doubt and perhaps will toggle back and forth. When this occurs, the binary code will toggle in all three bits. If the binary code is sampled when all three bits are changing, the value of the sample can assume any value and will in fact depend on the switching speed of flip-flops which are used in the sampling circuits.
If Gray code is used, however, and bit D in the same level code is toggling, then only one bit in the Gray code is toggling and the code will be decoded into either level three or level four.
As can be seen the A/D converter 20 samples the analog signal digitally whereby the analog signal is continuously converted into a digital signal. Thus at any instant in time the digital output reflects the input analog signal. Consequently a short pulse in the order of one microsecond is generated to transfer the digital output of the A/D converter to the output shift register 26. The net effect of this process is to sample the input analog waveform but to accomplish it with digital circuitry. It can be appreciated that this method is not operable with a feedback type A/D converter which requires a definite length of time to convert an analog sample voltage into a digital voltage. Such a circuit would require a sample-andhold circuitry.
Thus it can be seen and appreciated that a new and novel system for digitizing satellite facsimile signals at a central receiving station for subsequent re-transmission over a digital data link to various remote receiving stations is disclosed. The system comprises a relatively simple and effective altemative to direct reception of the satellite signals by the remote stations. The system can be built using low-power, reliable integrated circuits which have size, weight and cost advantages where space is at a premium such as on naval ships.
Obviously many modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in the light of the above teachings. It is therefore to be understood that within the scope of the appended claims the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described.
What is claimed is: 1. A method for transmitting a satellite facsimile picture which can be represented by a selectively predetermined number of distinct gray shade levels from a central ground station over a digital data link to a plurality of remote ground stations comprising the steps of:

My name is Gina Prins and I created Secrets Unearthed Jewellery in 2009. I am a local contemporary Jewellery designer originally from Zimbabwe. I studied fine art at the University of Cape Town and jewellery design at Ruth Prowse.
Growing up in Zimbabwe and spending numerous holidays in the bush along the Zambezi river has influenced my love for natural found organic objects ranging from bits of wood, found tusk or bone and smooth agates in dried up river beds. Having spent the last six years in Cape Town, I have created a fusion between the bush and city girl, I have a more urban approach to some designs and love big "bling" earrings, perfect with Capetown summer dresses. Playing with mixed media; resin, wood and mother of pearl has taught me to be more versatile with my approach to designing and what I love most about jewellery is that I never stop learning, creating and stepping out of the box.
I have always had a fascination for jewellery, the name secrets unearthed has special meaning to me. A secret is something that is kept hidden from knowledge, a mystery. Unearthed is to bring out of the earth, to dig up and bring to public knowledge. My jewellery takes natural products dug up from the earth to be created into a hand crafted, original once off designs.
I supply shops in the V&A Waterfront, Cavendish, Constantia and Kalk Bay, but love working with customers to create a special personalized pieces of once off jewellery and I am always available to take orders.

UPDATE JULY 17: Management of an apartment complex dealing with on-again, off-again water issues is finally providing an explanation.
Water at the Sandpiper Apartment complex was shut off from Friday morning to Sunday morning.
Sunday water was flowing again, but by Monday morning tenants told 13 Action News it was back off.
"People can't shower. People can't wash dishes," said tenant Brittany Albright.
13 Action News reached out to management Saturday and Sunday and received no response.
On Monday, a manager who would not give his name said over the weekend water was shut down for scheduled repairs. He said a pipe then burst unexpectedly Monday.
13 Action News obtained a copy of an email management sent to tenants which reads in part: "We realize this is is[sic] frustrating for everyone, and Management will compensate residents in some way."
The manager could not elaborate on how they plan to do that.
Lauren Pena with the Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada tells 13 Action News residents could pursue legal action against the complex for damages sustained during the water outage.
A judge would then determine whether management did enough.
LAS VEGAS (KTNV) -- Tenants of an apartment complex near Oakey and Decatur boulevards claim they've been living without water for more than 24 hours.
13 Action News was swamped with calls and e-mails from people living at the Sandpiper Apartments Saturday. Tenants complained the water had been shut off since early Friday morning.
"It's really hazardous. It's hot. It's been scorching heat and this is how you want to treat people who pay for living here?" said Christopher Carter.
Residents said they were given no warning the water would be turned off for apparent upgrades. Management set up a water delivery truck and portable toilets, but some residents said it wasn't enough because they've dealt with the situation before.
"We are all looking for some compensation for this," said Scott Maxson.
Management was not in the office Saturday. A sign on the door read: "We are working on getting the water turn[sic] back on."
13 Action News tried to reach a corporate office but received no answer. The water had not been turned back on by Saturday night, according to residents.

Massive rally to condemn the Saudi latest crime in Al-Mahwit province
Today, Sunday, the city of Al-Mahwit witnessed a mass rally denouncing the crime of the Saudi-American aggression against the Al-Houri family in the village of Ajama in Al-Mahwit city, which killed three civilians and wounded seven.
The participants in the rally denounced the continued crimes of the Saudi-led aggressive coalition and their horrific massacres against civilians, in addition to their targeting of civic assets.
In turn, the Director-General of Al Mahwit City Directorate, Colonel Ghamdan Al-Azki, stressed that all the crimes committed by the US-Saudi aggressors and the continued killing of civilians will not stop the victories achieved by the army and the popular committees on many fronts.
Al-Azki pointed out that the forces of US-Saudi aggression, through their military escalation, do not want peace, and are working to exacerbate the suffering of the Yemeni people, who will not surrender, and the general mobilization towards the fronts will be the most informed response to these heinous crimes.
During the event, speeches were delivered about the people of the Al-Mahwit city directorate, confirming the brutality and criminality of the Saudi aggression against Yemenis in front of a complicit world, pointing out that the Saudi raids are targeting all the people of Yemen.
A statement was issued by the demonstration condemning the continuation of the international silence towards the Saudi targeting of civilians with prohibited weapons, destroying the country and the unjust siege imposed by them.

With Congress facing $1.2 trillion in budget cuts, Federal Chief Information Officer Steven VanRoekel says funding for cybersecurity initiatives will likely be affected. But with smart planning, government information technology should not be placed at risk.
Many organizations are weighing whether cyber-insurance is a worthwhile investment. A decision on the type of policy to buy, and what it should cover, depends, in part, on the type of information that could be exposed.
With HIPAA compliance audits slated to resume within about a year, what steps can healthcare organizations take to begin to prepare? OCR's Leon Rodriguez offers strategies based on initial audit findings and breach investigations.
A draft of new guidance intended to be a blueprint to validate and implement a secure infrastructure as a service cloud computing offering has been issued by the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
Karen Scarfone, who coauthored NIST's encryption guidance, sort of figured out why many organizations don't encrypt sensitive data when they should. The reason: they do not believe they are required to do so.
The Government Accountability Office is preparing a comprehensive analysis of the nation's cybersecurity strategy to determine its effectiveness in securing government IT and critical information infrastructures.
Healthcare organizations need to more closely monitor how their business associates protect the security of patient information and step up risk assessments as they prepare to comply with looming HIPAA modifications, says attorney Lisa Sotto.
Former FBI cyber unit chief Tim Ryan sees mounting dangers from the insider, acknowledging undiscerning employees who don't follow proper processes can cause devastation. But he says the actions of those with malicious intent can be more catastrophic.
Inspector General Patrick Malley deems as inadequate the existing approach to state IT security governance that resulted in a breach last summer of a Department of Revenue tax system, which exposed the Social Security numbers of nearly 4 million taxpayers.
A new report says the Department of Health and Human Services must improve oversight of the HITECH Act's EHR incentive program, so that providers show better proof of compliance, including risk assessments.
The recent wave of DDoS attacks against top U.S. banks is a wake-up call for organizations that are ill-prepared to fight against such an attack. NIST's Matthew Scholl offers strategies to mitigate the threat.


If you are driving south this weekend, state transportation officials say you should avoid Interstate 65 in Jackson and Scott counties this afternoon and Sunday.
The Indiana Department of Transportation has announced a large I-65 reconstruction project that includes lane closings that could slow or even stop traffic between Seymour and Scottsburg throughout the weekend, spokesman Harry Maginity said.
Those who plan to drive on I-65 south of Seymour this weekend should either travel Saturday or map out an alternate route using local and county roads, Maginity said.
The first lane closing can be expected this afternoon in northbound lanes between Scottsburg and Austin.
Based on engineering calculations, traffic may be backed up for up to four miles in that area between 3 and 7 p.m. today, he said.
But he warned the longest delays are expected on Sunday.
Motorists can expect lane closings from 2 to 10 p.m. Sunday — with traffic backing up as far as seven miles between 6 and 8 p.m., Maginity said.
“There are going to be serious delays,” Maginity said, adding extra law enforcement will be stationed along the construction zone.
Weather permitting, the southbound I-65 lane closings on Sunday should be expected at the following locations:
-From two miles south of U.S. 50 in Seymour to Uniontown in Jackson County
-Near the Crothersville exit in southern Jackson County
Although U.S. 31 will be designated as a detour, Maginity warns the highway will have more traffic because of the I-65 work.
Since INDOT is prohibited by law from making specific detours that don’t involve their own highways because of liability concerns, Maginity suggests motorists map out their own detours using local or county roads.
Motorists passing through southern Indiana should have plenty of warning about the lane closures and delays. Maginity said permanent electronic information signs in the Indianapolis area will explain the construction work in Jackson and Scott counties.
At midweek, INDOT began setting up portable message boards along I-65 from Indianapolis to the Louisville metropolitan area, he said.
The weekend work is being done to speed up completion of the $54.7 million I-65 Seymour District pavement project, Maginity said.
Beginning Monday, motorists should still expect periodic lane closures between Scottsburg and State Road 11 in Seymour through June 27, he said, but traffic delays aren’t expected to be as severe.
The project involves patching, milling and paving 21 lane miles of pavement and rehabilitating 20 bridges between State Road 56 in Scott County and U.S. 50 in Jackson County. If the weather cooperates, the project can be completed six to eight weeks earlier by working this weekend and one in July.
Maginity said the I-65 renovation work is being done by crews working for the Cincinnati-based John R. Jurgensen Co. and several subcontractors.

Maintenance tips for a fighting fish - Betta splendens:
Suitable aquarium: Provide an aquarium with a minimum capacity of 10 liters, with ideally 30 liters, for an individual Betta.
Water Quality: Maintain optimum water quality for the health of your Betta. The ideal water temperature is around 23-26°C. Make sure the pH is between 6.5 and 7.5, with water hardness between 3 and 15 GH. Perform regular water changes (about 10% volume) weekly to maintain clean, stable water.
Filter and circulation: Use a low flow(waterfall) filter or foam filter to maintain fresh water circulation. Bettas don't like strong water currents, so be sure to provide proper filtration without creating strong currents that could stress the fish.
Setting up the aquarium: After the soil plants have taken root well, add floating aquatic plants to provide shade and resting areas for your Betta. Also use broad-leaved plants, such as Anubias Barteri for example, to provide a resting surface and create hiding places, to create a nurturing environment.
Food: Feed your Betta with a suitable diet based on high quality pellets (size M then L depending on the size of the fish). Regularly supplement its diet with mosquito larvae, daphnia or other live or frozen foods to vary its diet. Be careful with bloodworms, as they can cause constipation problems if given too much. They must therefore be given occasionally and in small quantities.
Compatibility: Avoid keeping several male bettas in the same aquarium, as they are aggressive towards their conspecifics. If you want to add other fish or invertebrates to the aquarium, keep in mind that this can be risky for the fish and invertebrates, which could be attacked or eaten. Also be careful with spiked snails, such as the genus Clithon, because if attacked, the betta could injure itself.
Regular Observations: Carefully monitor your Betta's health. Make sure there are no signs of illness, such as loss of appetite, listlessness, abnormal swimming, altered fins or coloration. Stimulate it regularly by gently placing your fingers on the glass of the aquarium to observe its reactions. Limit the use of a mirror to one minute, as prolonged stress can lead to health problems (cortisol).

The Wandering Earth
In these weeks before the Oscar presentations, with few new releases, many of our theaters are as bleak as the political landscape. When suddenly China releases a sci-fi blockbuster where our sun is about to vaporize our solar system. The world unites and hatches a plan to move Earth to a new star, Proxima Centauri.
We chose to see the film in our largest IMAX theater in 3D. Rare for us, but a monumental film with incredible visual effects just demands all the bells and whistles a five story theater screen and a Dolby surround sound system can muster.
The production is world class and reflects the rapid evolution of the Chinese film industry. That said, some parts of the production wander into the odd to goofy section but overall it’s a unique, visually stunning story that will challenge the imagination.
It’s listed as Science Fiction. The language is Mandarin with English subtitles. The run time is 125 minutes.
Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga
The literal translation according to Google is “A girl saw it.” Obviously something is lost in translation. This is an unusual film on several levels. The director of the film states “it’s a film about a family, a community and a brother understanding the emotion about love”.
It’s our opinion there is a cultural/religious gap that keeps the LGBTQ conversation from an open and honest dialog. In any case, the film is both interesting and highly entertaining.
There is a great Bollywood production that opens the film. It’s classic, bawdy, colorful, semi-goofy and beautiful. That actually describes the movie in general.
There are several scenes that start to reveal some conflict but the story never really walks through that portal. Just as well. The film would be completely different if the subtle conflicts were confronted on screen.
This film is not rated. It’s listed as a Drama with a run time of a staggering 170 minutes. Hindi with English subtitles.
Tito and the Birds
Oy! This is a most unusual animated film from Brazil. It’s touted as a “boy- against- the-world” allegory about the far-right politics currently in control of Brazil society.
That would explain the darkly colored scenes, “seasick colors” and the distorted animation. The central theme is about a 10-year-old boy who develops a machine that helps humans understand birds. It was also the life’s work of his father, a scientist, banished from the family after a failed experiment. As an epidemic of fear takes over the adults shrink into lumps of “human rocks”.
Tito on the other hand believes he has the solution and following his father’s footsteps, develops another machine that captures the songs of doves that counteracts the paranoia consuming the nation. Pretty heavy stuff. We assume the message was a metaphor for the confusing ending.
Critics have been applauding the story, animation and the reflection on current generations and the society they live in. It’s all a bit tedious, macabre and esoteric for us.
The film is not rated. It’s listed as Action & Adventure, Animation, Drama with a run time of 73 minutes. We saw the dubbed English version of this film. The original is Portuguese with English subtitles.

High Courtroom Struggles Over Consent To Search Issue
WASHINGTON вЂ” During a lively Wednesday oral argument, the justices of the U.S. Supreme Courtroom seemed torn over whether police can carry out a warrantless search of a home over the previous objection of a tenant when a co-tenant subsequently consents.
The case of Fernandez v. California, No. 12-7822, involves the warrantless search of the Los Angeles home of defendant Walter Fernandez. Police came to FernandezвЂ™ apartment after witnesses reported seeing a robbery suspect run into the premises.
When police knocked on the door, Roxanne Rojas answered. She was holding a child and showing signs that she had been crushed, including blood on her clothing. Fernandez also appeared at the door, telling police: вЂњYou donвЂ™t have any right to come in here. I know my rights.вЂќ
Suspecting domestic violence, the police took Fernandez into custody. Witnesses to the previously robbery identified Fernandez as the perpetrator.
About an hour later on, police returned to the apartment and Rojas consented to a search, which produced evidence that included clothing matching the description of the robber, a knife and a gun.
The defendant was charged with several crimes, including burglary with improved factors for allegedly using a knife while committing the crime. He moved to suppress the evidence from the search of his home, arguing that he had not consented to the warrantless search.
The trial courtroom denied the motion, ruling that Rojas, as a cotenant, had consented to the search.
The California Courtroom of Appeal affirmed. The courtroom distinguished the Supreme CourtвЂ™s ruling in the 2006 case Georgia v. Randolph, No. 04-1067, which held that a cotenant cannot consent to a warrantless police search of a home when the co-occupant is current and objecting. Here, the courtroom reasoned, the objecting tenant was no longer current when the search took place.
After the California Supreme Courtroom denied the defendantвЂ™s petition for review, the Supreme Courtroom granted his petition for certiorari.
вЂItвЂ™s her house, tooвЂ™
Jeffrey L. Fisher, a professor at Stanford Legislation School in Stanford, Calif., argued on the defendantвЂ™s behalf that when a cotenant consents, there is a вЂњrebuttable presumptionвЂќ that he or she speaks for all occupants. But when the police know otherwise, that presumption must be reversed.
вЂњWhen the police full well know that one person doesnвЂ™t have a delegated authority to speak for the others, they must respect the objection,вЂќ Fisher said. вЂњAnd a failure to do so violates the Fourth Amendment.вЂќ
Justice Stephen Breyer said he was вЂњbotheredвЂќ by the idea of a battered spouse not being permitted to let police into her home.
вЂњItвЂ™s her house, too,вЂќ Breyer said. вЂњCanвЂ™t she invite people into her house, too, whom she wants, including the policeman? вЂ¦ That is the example that keeps gnawing on my mind.вЂќ
Fisher said that a spouse in that situation вЂњmay well be able to invite the police into the dwelling sometimes, but that is very different than whatвЂ™s heading on here.вЂќ
Fisher stressed that Fernandez was current and made a Randolph objection to the search, but was led away involuntarily by police.
вЂњHe was in custody for 500-plus days,вЂќ Justice Anthony Kennedy pointed out. вЂњFor all that time, the wife cannot invite the police? вЂ¦ She canвЂ™t get a policeman to assist her for 500 days? This is not Randolph. This is a vast extension of Randolph.вЂќ
Fisher tried to give the justices a more limited basis on which to rule in the defendantвЂ™s favor.
вЂњI think you can decide the case on a more slim ground,вЂќ he said. вЂњItвЂ™s enough to decide this case, and indeed, the vast majority of lower courtroom cases, to say so long as the police make it impossible for somebody to enforce the Randolph objection вЂ¦ voluntary accommodation has to be the solution.вЂќ That would allow the objecting tenant to вЂњhave a discussion with the cotenant, try to work out the solution to the problem.вЂќ
Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. questioned how workable that solution was.
вЂњWhatвЂ™s the discussion between the spouse and the battered wife, bleeding and holding the four-year-old baby, heading to look like?вЂќ he requested.
вЂGet a warrantвЂ™
California Deputy Lawyer General Louis W. Karlin argued that the cotenant had equal rights to allow a police search of the home.
вЂњEveryone knows that when they choose to live together and one person is absent the other person has the authorityвЂќ to consent to a search, he said.
Breyer said that the courtвЂ™s precedent stood in the way of that interpretation.
вЂњI donвЂ™t see how I could write that without saying I was wrong in Randolph, [when] I still think I was right,вЂќ Breyer said.
Justice Elena Kagan agreed.
вЂњI thought that Randolph rejected that analysis. I thought that Randolph said вЂ¦ and IвЂ™m quoting here, вЂThe cooperative occupantвЂ™s invitation adds nothing to the governmentвЂ™s aspect to counter the force of an objecting individualвЂ™s declare to security against the governmentвЂ™s intrusion into his dwelling place.вЂ™вЂќ
вЂњIn this case when the objection was made, the police werenвЂ™t searching,вЂќ Karlin said. вЂњWhen the police went to search, there was only one occupant there.вЂќ
Joseph R. Palmore, assistant to the U.S. solicitor general arguing as amicus in support of California, said вЂњan individualвЂ™s consent to confess visitors into her own home may not be prospectively negated by the previously objection of an absent tenant.вЂќ
вЂњDid they have probable cause to get a warrant?вЂќ requested Justice Sonia Sotomayor.
вЂњI think they almost certainly did have probably cause to get a warrant,вЂќ Palmore said.
вЂњHow about a clear answer: Get a warrant,вЂќ Sotomayor said.
A decision is expected later on this term.

Officials set to vote Tuesday on plan for major NYU expansion
Greenwich Village may be getting even more purple.
City officials will vote Tuesday on a proposal to let NYU build four large buildings on property it owns in the village, expanding its footprint by more than two million square feet over the next two decades.
The plan, called "NYU 2031" by university President John Sexton, has been slammed by nearby residents and neighborhood advocates as well as scores of NYU professors, many of whom live in nearby apartment buildings subsidized by the university. They argue that the construction wouldreduce public spaces and irreparably harm the feel of Greenwich Village.
City Council members and NYU officials were still meeting last night to hash out a slightly modified version of the plan, sources said. They expected some form of it to pass the council's zoning subcommittee and land use committees and be sent to the full council for a vote on July 25. Spokesmen for the council members involved would not comment on those discussions Monday.
Andrew Berman, executive director of the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation, said the university is a "welcome ... piece of the neighborhood, but not as the overwhelming, dominating presence it is becoming."
"Once it's done, it will mean that the village will become more and more like a company town where a single entity controls everything," Berman said of the possible construction.
He suggested that NYU look for space a few subway stops away from its Washington Square Park campus, possibly as close as the Financial District. "The university really has not demonstrated in any way that the facilities that they want to build need to be built here as opposed to elsewhere," Berman said.
NYU's plan calls for the added space to be used for teaching and performance space, housing for students and faculty, a gym, some retail space, and the possibility of a new public school. About 65% of the room will be used for academic purposes, public documents show.
"From the beginning, our proposals have sought to strike a balance, allowing NYU to use the superblocks it owns to meet its academic space needs over the next 20 years while addressing community concerns, such as reducing the expansion of its footprint in the neighborhood and creating and making accessible open space that is not publicly accessible today," university spokesman John Beckman said in an email Monday.
NYU professor Andrew Ross, another critic of the plan, said he worries it would "bankrupt" the university, and expects the pricey budget to be paid for by students.
"NYU can increase the tuition bill every year" he said. "That's how they will finance this plan."
Mark Crispin Miller, an NYU professor and member of a group called "NYU Faculty Against the Sexton Plan," says 36 academic departments have joined in opposition to the construction. He said he expected local pols to come up with some small changes to the plan by this morning.
"Were braced for the announcement that they've got a compromise in hand," Miller said, adding that "if this plan proceeds in any form that's intolerable to faculty here, dozens of people are going to leave."
Lizzy Ott, a rising NYU junior who lives in the West Village, said she disagreed with the university's plan.
"I think NYU has more than enough space already, and they should stop," said Ott, 19.
"I think it's admirable that NYU is trying to increase their reputation and do good things for the school," she added, "But I think it's getting a bit abrasive and it's made the city hate them."
(with Ariam Frezghi)
NYU's expansion in Greenwich Village calls for four new buildings, to be built between Mercer Street and LaGuardia Place and West 3rd Street and Houston Street.
Here's how the new 2.1 million square feet would be used:
65% for academic purposes
10% for faculty housing
17% for mechanical systems and replacement parking

Microsoft has publicly warned that they do not believe the Tor browsing service, famed for allowing totally secure access to the most hidden areas of the internet and frequented by cyber-criminals, can withstand attempted break-ins from law-enforcement bodies such as the NSA and Britain's GCHQ for much longer.
Amidst claims that usage of Tor has increased by almost 50% since Edward Snowden's revelations last year as to the extent of NSA internet snooping, Andy Malone of Microsoft Enterprise Security said
"There is no such thing as really being anonymous on the internet. If hackers and government agencies want you, they will get you."
He added that although the Tor network itself had not yet been cracked, hackers employed by the state were able to access data sent and received by the program through hijacking insecure add-ons for the browser installed by users. These included Adobe Flash and Java - two of the most well-known and most in-secure browser plugins around.
Tor enables users to browse the web with absolute security by scrambling data and then sending it through thousands of different relays worldwide so that the identity of the original sender of the data is completely masked. It also allows for the creation of 'invisible' sites that can only be viewed with the Tor browser - other browsers such as Internet Explorer, Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox simply will not be able to find them. These have the .onion extension and some, such as the infamous Silk Road, are regularly frequented by criminals looking to engage in illegal activities such as the trade of drugs and narcotics online without risk of being traced.
Increasingly, the service is being frequented by ordinary law-abiding citizens who use it simply to mask their identity online; this has led to the service seeing on average 80,000 users of the network per day.
Microsoft described how law-enforcement bodies including the NSA and Britain's equivalent, GCHQ, were actively monitoring and attempting to break into the Tor network through add-ons used with the client. He said that increasingly the 'secure', hidden .onion sites are being hijacked by law-enforcement agencies and being converted into 'watering-holes' - as people visit the site, their details are recorded and returned to the NSA. This, of course, is not particularly useful until the rest of the Tor network has been broken down so that the true identity of the visitor can be established.
This is yet another turn in the revelations of governmental snooping on the usage of the internet. It appears that governments in the US and Britain are more determined than ever to access our data and are now trying to break down the barriers surrounding the most hidden parts of the internet. In the past, Tor has always been able to adapt to attempted break-ins like this but is time running out for what is currently the most secure access path to the Internet?

Moesha Boduong, a Ghanaian socialite and former slay queen, is reportedly doing well!
Moesha has returned to social media after taking a long sabbatical to reconnect with herself and recover from her mental health concerns.
Moesha has recently been letting her presence be felt on Instagram from time to time.
Moesha Bodoung snubbed her godmother and friend Afia Schwarzenegger when asked to choose her favorite star.
Contrary to popular belief, Moesha Boduong named God as her favorite celebrity, rather than Schwar, Tracey Boakye,
or any of her coworkers.
Moe has discovered God and has made him her all-encompassing companion — she now sees no finer friend or companion than God.
Moesha Boduong, a Ghanaian actress and socialite, left social media a few months ago due to personal issues.
Moesha was reported to be facing a spiritual struggle after apparently coming face to face with an evil spirit.
Later, it was revealed that Moesha was suffering from mental illness since she was acting strangely. All appears to be good now, and Moesha is doing well.

“Look at my picture!”
by Cassie Tondreau, Educator, Hilltop Children’s Center
Have you ever seen a child furiously scribbling on paper and narrating as they go? It can sound something like this: “I’m making a big truck, it has big wheels and a driver-‘Beep! Beep!’” or “This is a party and everyone is dancing. Look at their long dresses!” Looking at the mess of wild lines, it’s hard to imagine any connection between what your child is drawing and what they are saying. Appearances can be deceiving!
At Hilltop, we notice a great deal of connection between children’s words and drawings, in fact the act in itself is a way of connecting words with pictures. As educators and parents, we have many tools to help cultivate this skill.
Children gain a great deal of skill from drawing. Their fine motor skills are refined by grasping a crayon or pencil, as well as hand-eye coordination. These skills lend themselves to the creative pursuit of creating art, and all of the joy that goes with it.
“By providing children with the materials and opportunities to scribble we can promote physical skills. Just as babbling is a natural way to gain language, scribbling is a natural gateway to muscle control and coordination. In fact, Cratty (1986) termed scribbling “motor babbling.”
from When Children Draw by Sandra Crosser, Ph.D.
As they draw, children think of their surroundings, books or media they know and love, as well as people they know. Their drawings can reflect a wide span of time in their memory, often showing something remembered from a long ago vacation or trip to the zoo that parents would have otherwise thought would be forgotten. They can also reflect concepts a child is attempting to grasp, such as where an animal sleeps outside, or the wheels of a train connecting to a track.
When you are with a child – at home or in your work – you can help extend the valuable improvisation and fun of scribbling. Feel free to join in, enjoying the fun behind fast, jagged lines, slow, loopy lines, and all the other lines in between. Remember that a child’s ideas about their drawing can change as they scribble, so go with their ideas even if they seem to be jumping from idea to idea. If they want to stop drawing very quickly, try bringing their attention to a certain spot on the drawing, thinking out loud as you do: “I wonder what kind of lines you’ll make next. I have some different colors, where should they go?” As tempted as we may be to look for an image in the drawing, it’s important to remember that labeling work a child creates can limit them. Bringing their attention to one area or color in the drawing and saying “Tell me about this,” or asking “Why did you choose that color?” can lead them back to the thinking that began the drawing.
Drawing can be an amazing way to get insight into a child’s way of thinking and seeing the world. It’s important to remember that the action of drawing, and the catharsis of creating art can be just as important as “drawing a picture,” and certainly just as valuable an endeavor for a child. Enjoy the process, and remember that the process is the goal in beginning a relationship to art.

Coastal Resources Division
Georgia Department of Natural Resources
One Conservation Way, Brunswick, GA 31520
For more than 20 years, Coastal Resources Division has monitored the water quality of Georgia's coastal waters for the safe recreational and commercial harvest of shellfish (oysters & clams). The Shellfish Sanitation Program is funded by the state of Georgia and consists of water quality monitoring, permitting shellfish harvesters, leasing state shellfish areas, sanitary surveys, and report writing.
Coastal Resources Division administers this program under the guidance of the United States Food and Drug Administrations (FDA) National Shellfish Sanitation Program (NSSP) standards. The National Shellfish Sanitation Program's (NSSP) Manual of Operations (Part 1, Section C-3,a) requires that states show that shellfish harvest areas are "not subject to contamination from human and/or animal fecal matter in amounts that in the judgment of the SSCA [State Shellfish Control Authority] may present an actual or potential hazard to public health."
The Georgia Department of Natural Resources and the Georgia Department of Agriculture together form the SCCA. Standards of the NSSP require the state to regularly collect water samples from each approved harvest area and to perform certain analytical procedures to ensure that the area is below the established fecal coliform threshold of 14mpn/100ml.
Currently, CRD monitors 82 stations on the coast, concentrated around harvest areas, for fecal coliform bacteria. Chatham, Liberty, McIntosh, Glynn, and Camden counties all have water quality sites in the adjacent water bodies designed to monitor and classify waters for potential shellfish harvest. These stations are monitored once every other month at random tide stages.

Instead, the nonprofit organization will temporarily screen art films at the Prospector Convention Center, 2175 Sidewinder Dr.
"We're super excited to be partnering with the Prospector," said Katharine Wang, executive director of the Park City Film Series. "It's a an official venue of the Sundance Film Festival, so it's a great location and we're able to bring in our own digital equipment."
In addition, the Prospector Theatre features a cinema-quality sound system and screen.
"It has everything you would expect to have at the Sundance Film Festival," Wang said. "The only thing different will be the seating. We don't bring in risers, but there will be tiered seating and the chairs will be offset so people will have unobstructed views of the screens.
"We will have 300 seats, which is slightly less than the Santy Auditorium that has 450," she said. "It's still pretty big and we'll have the same operations."
The Film Series is scheduled to be at the Prospector through January 5, 2015, and then return to the Jim Santy Auditorium in February once renovations are complete and the Sundance Film Festival wraps, according to Wang.
(See accompanying story titled "Film Series maintains weekend screenings, but revamps kids programs.")
"The Prospector was also one of the few venues we could find in town that was able to provide the quality of experience we wanted to provide our moviegoers," she said.
It also came at a price that the Film Series could afford.
"They are a commercial entity and we're a small nonprofit," Wang said. "They were more than happy to meet us halfway in terms of making sure we could exist comfortably for the fall, so we're very appreciative to them."
Wang also liked that the theater is surrounded by some great restaurants
"We are launching a program called Eat, Sleep, Screen, a partnership with selected local restaurants and two hotels," she said. "It's a dinner, movie and night stay idea. There will be some great deals for movie lovers in meals and hotel stays. We will have more announcements as the program firms up."
The Park City Film Series is also launching a new membership deal this month.
"Anyone who joins in the month of September will receive some nice gifts," Wang said. "We're looking forward to bringing in some new members."

As described by Manchester International Festival, The Biospheric Foundation is,
‘Brilliantly ambitious, The Biospheric Project aims at nothing less than a total change in the way we think about food, farming and the environment.
When the site threw open its doors to the public, 2,375 people were welcomed to visit this inspiring agricultural laboratory and see plants, fish, chicken and worms take their place in a carefully constructed eco-system within an old mill on the banks of the River Irwell in Salford.’
During a 12 week residency, I worked with artists Melanie Alexandrou, and Bethany Cassidy to explore connections and identify patterns within the project and local community.
We developed creative workshop ideas with the brief to ‘Make Something For The Future’. Various themes emerged, and outcomes included drawings in the river, totem poles, underwater photographs, nests, bird banquets, sound records, projected found objects and maps.
Above are some of the projections which explore the idea of pattern and meta pattern.

Grammy-nominated singer Kehlani and her SweetSexySavage world tour, named after her debut album, made a stop at the Fillmore Charlotte Memorial Day Weekend. Considered by some in the industry as one of the top young artists to watch, 22-year-old Kehlani earned quite a following with the release of her mixtapes Cloud 19 and You Should Be Here. The world tour has helped her promote her debut album that was released in January.
It didn’t matter what song she performed that evening, the mostly young female crowd screamed as soon they heard the beat to any track and they sang along to hits including “Distraction,” “Down for You,” “Gangsta,” “The Way” and “CRZY.” The former America’s Got Talent contestant didn’t show signs of rust. Her crop top exposed her abs as she body rolled and gyrated her hips alongside two background dancers. She utilized the stage to the fullest, at one point going into the crowd because she felt like she could not see fans to her left.
— CLTure ( culture ) (@CLTure) May 29, 2017
The key take away from the show came from the candid conversations the Oakland native shared throughout her set. She occasionally stopped her show with inspiring words to her fans, women, particularly those in volatile relationships, and members of the LGTBQ community. She talked about mental health and made a plea for the everyone to make themselves a priority. Mental health is a topic she knows well firsthand. In 2016, rumors of infidelity to her then boyfriend, NBA star Kyrie Irving, with ex-boyfriend singer PartyNextDoor, led her to attempt suicide.
Additionally, she requested that fans at every stop on her tour bring donations to local shelters for those in need.
Kehlani brought an international flair by adding Toronto’s Jahkoy and London’s Ella Mai to the tour. JahKoy opened the concert rocking a Carolina Blue Cam Newton jersey during his brief set. He crooned the audience with “No Regrets” before performing his hit “California Heaven.” Former X-Factor contestant Ella Mai became a viral sensation with her renditions of hit songs, including Kehlani’s “The Way” on Instagram. DJ Mustard saw one of these videos and the rest was history. Dressed in loose fitting and baggy clothes, Ella Mai had a comfy, girl-next-door look with a ‘90s R&B sound. Similarly, her lyrics on tracks like “Boo’d Up” and “She Don’t” are reminiscent to the golden age of R&B.
We have witnessed the popularity of R&B diminish over the years as the lines between hip-hop continue to blur. Young acts like Kehlani, Ella Mai and Jahkoy have the potential to shape the genre and help define its future for years to come.
The North American leg of the SweetSexySavage tour wraps up in July.
Check out the remaining 2017 Kehlani tour dates.
