(New York — June 11, 2021) Today, RCA Records announces a brand-new partnership and label deal with Loud Robot, the record label from J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot to release burgeoning new musical talent.
To kick off this partnership, Nnena, the first musical signing to Loud Robot, today releases a brand-new track and video for “Heart Moan,” the second track revealed from her forthcoming debut EP BIPOLAR AF, which is set for release on June 25th via Loud Robot/RCA Records.
Other new artist signings to Loud Robot/RCA Records will be announced soon.

Bipolar AF is available now for pre-order HERE:
John Fleckenstein, Chief Operating Officer of RCA Records stated, “Nnena is such a talent. Full of personality, stories and song. We are thrilled to announce her debut! And I cannot imagine a more perfect debut to kick off our new partnership with Loud Robot. The combination of Bad Robot’s creative engine and storytelling prowess combined with RCA’s obsessive ears for the worlds brightest music talent offers an extremely potent mix. Brian Weinstein, McKee Floyd and Nicky Berger have already proven to be all-star partners and serious operators. Backed by the vision of J.J. Abrams and Katie McGrath, it is not hard to imagine the potential that lies ahead of this exciting new venture.”
Brian Weinstein, President and COO of Bad Robot, stated, “We are thrilled to collaborate with RCA’s Peter Edge, John Fleckenstein, and the entire RCA team. Their creative sensibility, business acumen, and industry leadership is unparalleled and we’re proud to call them our partners. Given the momentum that Loud Robot’s McKee Floyd and Nicky Berger have already generated alongside RCA, we are endlessly excited about the future of this new partnership.”
In a joint statement, McKee Floyd and Nicky Berger, Loud Robot co-General Managers, added, “RCA has supported our vision to sign creative, left-of-center artists, like Nnena, who might not traditionally see themselves signing to a major label. At her core, Nnena is a storyteller, channeling her experiences into songs, videos, and sketches that are at once relatable and wildly unique. We want Loud Robot/RCA to be the home for these artists to tell their stories through a host of mediums, centered around music.”
Nnena has scripted and produced comedic bite-sized sketches to post as companion pieces for each track from her forthcoming EP – Check out the one for “Heart Moan” HERE and for the previously released track “Rewind” HERE. Last month Nnena released a hilarious visualizer and stunning live performance video for lead track “Rewind” from her EP.
An incredible writer, lyricist, rapper and vocalist, bursting with effusive energy and a massive personality, the Cleveland native, born Nnena Adigwe to Nigerian parents, credits some of her robust, descriptive storytelling impulses to her past screenwriting experience. A former basketball player, Nnena began writing comedic sketches during college. That soon led to working on more full-fledged projects—the kinds of works that needed sound tracking. Rather than pay licensing fees, she tried her hand at making her own music.
Nnena has already received critical praise from Teen Vogue, Flood, BBC 1’s Annie Mac, Apple Music’s Ebro, and has been a sought-after songwriter for artists such as Beyoncé, Rihanna and Normani and has recently performed as the opening act for rising star Boogie, Mayorkun, and Trinidad James.
She explains making music for her is about telling stories that simultaneously define us and connect us to others. “I want my music to elicit the truth and make the listener feel comfortable. I want people not to feel alone and I never want my music to leave anyone out.”
In the music and visuals that she creates, she shares stories, scenarios, debacles and personal experiences with a warmth, humor, and finesse that almost make you forget how hard life can be. “I’ll make the worst situations funny.”
Nnena also finds inspiration for her music from the female experience: “My music is what other females wish they could say out loud, but I do it for them in a song.”
Her music reflects her eclectic influences ranging from Otis Redding to Millie Jackson, from Queen Latifah to Miriam Makeba to Kendrick Lamar and especially “Lauryn Hill, she molded me the most,” along with other neo-soul genre artists Musiq Soulchild and Jill Scott, as well from Drake, J. Cole, to Tiwa Savage.
Stay tuned for more from Nnena soon.

Thank YOU! I just used it for the first time on my right calf (and was very skeptical, mind you!) and felt amazingly better after the 2 days. So now I’m going to use it on my other calf!

I went to university with the dream of being the next Jonathan Ross. From the very first echo of ‘shoot her’ in Jurassic Park I always knew my first love would be film.
Whenever I couldn’t sleep, when I was sad, hell when it was Thursday- Jurassic Park was my go to movie. I was determined of one thing, I would work within film or dinosaurs.
I’m now a teacher, of RE. I love it and I try to use film to illustrate my point at every opportunity. It’s still a world away from filling Wossy’s shoes.
Due to a dare from my brother I attempted, with 12 weeks left of 2014, to see 100 films at the cinema in the year. I was at 68 at the time, so it was a challenge (I only got to 85 despite a christmas movie marathon of 6 films in the Prince Charles). I started seeing films on their day of release and a few people were asking me what I thought before making up their mind about whether to see it. I’ve figure- why not compile my opinion into a blog?!
So here it goes; welcome to my world of film and geekdom. I will be reviewing films, theatre and the occasional tv show.

3 pm. The day began with good news from Elena saying the lockdown in Slovakia was coming to an end, where they had reported 28 deaths giving it one of the lowest per capita in Europe. In Banska Bystrica, where Elena lives more shops and restaurants are opened along with their large Europa Shopping Mall. In the U.K. glorious sunshine was the menu of the day, being called a mini heatwave, although with later warnings of a thunderstorm. The last part sounds very reminiscent to where we are in the U.K. Sunshine can lift everyone’s spirit, as it can stimulate your imagination which is the key to changing how we think and how we live our lives. Experiencing such sunshine can make you feel as though you can psychically fly. With my imagination, I see one walking along the silver sand beach or barefoot through the cool dew of the long green grass that has just seen the sunrise. For once I see more human beings as I walk through the park to post a letter to my youngest daughter. From usually seeing no one, I can now count five people, and there are no children to be seen at most times of the day. I must believe they have all been evacuated to another galaxy.
I’ve spoken before, it’s not just the virus that’s dangerous, but more so the consequences of hundreds of thousands having to deal with the pain of losing their job. I saw on TV a young woman in their early thirties have to accept she was having to claim benefits for the first time in her life, as she had always worked in an office. She said most offices are now closed, and she had applied for numerous jobs but being put on a long list like many others. She was more than emotional as she was now coping with a new uncomfortable reality. Another young man of 32 yrs was completely despondent having always worked hard and now had a newborn child and felt hopeless now not having a job and being able to support his family. These are just two stories that are facing an ever-growing number of consequences to this virus. I’ve never seen or heard in my life before where yesterday a government Minister was acting as a recruiting sergeant saying to those without work to apply for fruit picking jobs to help their income. We are in changing times as our economy appears to be in free fall at this moment in time. Our present U.K. Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak announced yesterday quite truthfully saying, he can’t save everyone’s job, and it’s going to be a long slow road to get back to where we once were. From March 12th to April 12th this year job losses amounted to 20,236,000 U.S. residents with a frightening prospect of soon reaching 25 percent of unemployment.
So what have I been shown if I’ve been given a glimpse into the future which now coincides with where the world is today. I’ve mentioned before five prophesies I was given in Banska Bystrica in 2012, where one I was told the Chinese politician XI JINPING would be in a THEATRE OF CRISIS. That crisis is here for him now, and the consequences of the Coronavirus have heightened tensions between China and the West which have made things more perilous than ever before. President XI JINPING is now in the pole position of political power and with his leadership he commands immense power on the world stage. Why was I told in 2012, if XI JINPING approached the new Korean leader KIM JONG UN asking him, WOULD YOU LIKE TO TAKE A GIANT STEP WITH ME TO DENUCLEARISE ALL MILITARY WEAPONS? THEN TOGETHER WE WILL INTURN APPROACH EACH COUNTRY TO DO THE SAME. This momentum would follow very rapidly, as there would be no one who could stop this idea going forward. By the time it reached the U.S.A. world opinion would not accept anyone who refused this offer that would dramatically change the world for everyone. It would be the only chance the world would have, as time is running out in many directions. Fear would be removed from every political leader and throughout the whole world. I was told President XI JINPING would be the most revered man in the world. Now look at how the world teeters on economic recession and further catastrophe has another seven years of hardship facing everyone. There is another path and another answer. The world´s leading powers would sit down focusing on a major plan of economic growth, where together such plans would help every country big and small in the world, to grow their economy in tandem with each other. Militarism would no longer exist. Climate change would be coordinated with each country. Present wars would be eliminated. Those leaders who had brought their demise would no longer have control. This new body of large powers cooperating together would create and control a model of rebuilding and growth, that would be financed by a world bank. Future expeditions into the universe would become one human body of mankind.
This list could go on and on. It would take time, but the realisation is, there is no other path, or you would see an escalation of crisis after crisis. Remember, I was given this theatre of crisis for four other leading world figures. Time, we don’t have. Those sceptics and those leaders who held power with a threat over many could not argue about where the world presently is. This is just the bones I can give in such a small message blog. A new body of thought can begin to be put together now. All the newborns, all the children of this world can have a future where their dreams can come true. The troubles with different factions of the Moslem faith would unite and become one. Iran would rebuild its incredible history where scholars and artisans with the help of Saudi Arabia would see an awesome city built, that would attract millions to this spiritual site. The pain of the Palestinians would be at an end as Israel would become a future trading partner and a great friend on a new path. Both economies would flourish and together they would make the desserts bloom with irrigation and new food products.
Russia would become a major new trading partner with the U.K. and together would be part of a greater trading block in the European Union. Russia, this large country would have a renaissance of cultural activities, its scientists would be the leading figures in the exploration of the universe. Its inventions and entrepreneurship would bloom with enormous growth across the whole of the Soviet Union. These are not dreams but could be a reality. We see the present path leaving a legacy of despair to this young future generation and one of being impossible to repair in their lifetime. Look at this moment in time where this Coronavirus plague is attacking human life everywhere. Mankind has the ingenuity and science that can and will eradicate this virus, but at this moment in time we can only assume sooner rather than later. But the biggest plague on our earth is the mass of nuclear weapons that can eliminate all known human life in seconds on our beautiful earth. This gift has been with me throughout my life, with a purpose to reveal there is a greater spiritual power but to show clearly there is a better way to progress than the present road we have made. Remember John Lennon, the individual who could not accept the constraints of his society and became a rebel with his friends who went off to Hamburg to fulfil their dreams. We all know his song IMAGINE, that haunting and beautiful melody with poignant and profound words. These are just a few lines of this memorable song:
IMAGINE NO POSSESSIONS, I WONDER IF YOU CAN, NO NEED FOR GREED AND HUNGER, A BROTHERHOOD OF MAN... IMAGINE ALL THE PEOPLE, YOU MAY SAY I’M A DREAMER, BUT I’M NOT THE ONLY ONE, I HOPE SOMEDAY YOU’LL JOIN US, AND THE WORLD WILL JUST BE ONE.

Gegard Mousasi apparently struck a nerve with Conor McGregor, who in turn struck a nerve with him.
The nerve-striking began when Mousasi, who defeated Vitor Belfort earlier this month at UFC 204, took a shot at McGregor in his post-fight press conference, questioning the way the Irishman and some other popular fighters hype themselves by trash-talking and showing off expensive items on social media.
According to Mousasi, this prompted McGregor to fire back with a direct message on Twitter.
“That ginger-headed (f—) is retarded,” Mousasi said earlier this week on The MMA Hour. “In the interview I mentioned, they were talking about respect or whatever, and then he texted me on Twitter. He messaged me, and I said, ?What’re you going to do with your 50 kilos?’ And then he was, I don’t know, he was philosophical or whatever the (f—) he was writing, he was like, ‘A knife is lighter than a pound, it can cut from ear to ear,’ whatever the (f—) he was writing.
“That guy is a bum. He’s a 50 kilo guy, what the (f—) is he going to do? I bet if he’s face to face, he’s not going to say that. But you know, Twitter gives some people courage.”
Of course, we can’t even say with 100 percent certainty that McGregor really hit up Mousasi, who acknowledged he isn’t big on social media and was told by his manager about the direct message. And we definitely don’t know where McGregor was going with his alleged philosophical remark. But it’s obvious Mousasi isn’t a fan of McGregor and the way the UFC featherweight champion operates.
It’s too bad we probably won’t see the two square off anytime soon given that Mousasi has been fighting as a middleweight for most of his UFC career.

In computer graphics, texture filtering or texture smoothing is the method used to smooth textures used in 3D models. Some consoles use texture filtering.
In emulation, texture filtering can be applied even if the original console did not use it. Many emulators support such features.
|Console||Texture Filtering||Types of filtering|
|Nintendo 64||✓||Three-sample bilinear|
|Sega Dreamcast||✓||Bilinear, trilinear, anisotropic|
|PlayStation 2||✓||Bilinear, trilinear|
|GameCube||✓||Bilinear, trilinear, anisotropic|
|Xbox||✓||Bilinear, trilinear, anisotropic|
|PlayStation Portable||✓||Bilinear, trilinear|
|Wii||✓||Bilinear, trilinear, anisotropic|
- Nearest neighbor: basically pixelated.
- Nearest-neighbor with mipmapping: pixelated, a different lower res texture is used for long distances to avoid aliasing.
- Bilinear: every pixel is interpolated from the closest stored pixels (also called texels).
- Trilinear: same as trilinear, but the different mipmaps are also smoothed between each other as the object gets further away.
- Anisotropic: like bilinear and trilinear filtering, anisotropic filtering eliminates aliasing effects, but improves on these other techniques by reducing blur and preserving detail at extreme viewing angles.
- xBR: pattern recognition, only worth it for low res pixel art with few colors.

My favorite city in the world and cats – what could be better? I’d been looking forward to Shop Cats of New York ever since I first heard about the book’s concept. This first book by Tamar Arslanian, known for her blog IHaveCat.com – “Single in the City with Cat(s)”, combines Tamar’s love for cats and for her city in one beautiful package.
Tamar introduces us to shop cats ranging from the famous Matilda, who resides at the Algonquin Hotel, to ordinary cats who live at copy shops, distilleries, bookstores, and bodegas. The stunning photographs by Andrew Martilla, combined with the backstory Tamar provides for each of the cats, take the reader on a feline-centric tour of the city’s five boroughs.
Tamar also addresses an issue about shop cats that I’ve often wondered about myself. Like me, she felt bad about cats who lived out their days in businesses, wondering whether they wouldn’t be better off in more traditional living situations. Meeting the cats in the book not only dispelled those misgivings for Tamar, it made her realize that these cats probably have more human interaction than many apartment cats in the city who only see their humans before and after work and on weekends.
This gorgeous book is much more than just a beautiful cat book. It’s a celebration of the bond between cats and humans, and one woman’s love affair with her city.
Shop Cats of New York is available from Amazon and everywhere books are sold.
You can find more stories about the shop cats of New York on Facebook and Instagram.

Blurb: Philadelphia, 1843: All is not well in Spring Garden. Fresh from her Glass Eye Killer adventure, Cattarina is once again thrust into mystery when she makes a ghastly discovery - a dead black cat hanging from a tree. Human authorities are uninterested in feline affairs, so Cattarina takes it upon herself to find the culprit.
With the help of her new Green Street Troop and her human companions, she ferrets out the murderer. But her plan to exact justice unleashes a new set of horrors. Now, much more than Eddy's unfinished story is at stake. If she fails to thwart these events, a dear friend may suffer the black cat's end.
Full of Victorian wit and rich detail, this cozy novella is a fictional account of Edgar Allan Poe's real-life animal companion. Fans of historical and animal mysteries are sure to like this series.
Book reviews that are short and sweet...just like Truffles!
This book is actually the story of two black cats, hence the title. The second is Midnight who plays an integral role in Cattarina's plan and ends up stealing her heart as well. Their little love story broke my heart at the end. I also enjoy the way the Poe marriage is portrayed, as Eddy and Sissy love each other deeply and the entire household lives with a cloud of impending doom over it because of Sissy's illness.
I loved every single word in this book and recommend it without reservation. Cattarina is the epitome of "tortitude" and uses it to solve local crimes against both humans and animals, while in the process continuing to be her beloved master's muse.
Our review of the first Cattarina mystery, The Tell-Tail Heart, and Truffles interview with Cattarina can be found here.
Between now and March 16th, Monica will be giving away free e-copies of Mr. Eakins’ Book of Cats to anyone who purchases The Black Cats and leaves an honest review. Just buy her novella, review it on Amazon (and anywhere else you like), and email her at firstname.lastname@example.org to receive your free illustrated companion.

Lady MacLehose Holiday Village to reopen Monday
The Lady MacLehose Holiday Village will reopen for holiday campers from Monday (July 14).
The holiday camp was one of four used by the Government as isolation centres for families and medical staff affected by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS).
A spokesman for the Leisure and Cultural Services Department said normal camping services of the Lady MacLehose Holiday Village would now resume.
To ensure a clean environment, the department has carried out thorough cleansing and disinfection of all indoor and outdoor facilities at the camp in strict accordance with the guidelines issued by the Department of Health.
"We have also issued guidelines to all the cleansing contractors in the holiday camp to intensify cleansing and disinfection under close supervision of our camp staff," the spokesman said.
All dormitories and hostel rooms will be cleaned and disinfected at least once a day. Toilet and bathing facilities and common areas will be cleaned and disinfected four times a day.
New mattresses, bed sheets, quilts, blankets, pillows and pillowcases have been bought to replace those that were used during the time when the camp served as an isolation centre.
Bed sheets and pillowcases will be labelled "Cleaned" after daily laundering. Even the toilet bowls, once sanitised, will be labelled "Disinfected". Liquid soap and hand dryers will be provided.
"We will take every step necessary to maintain cleanliness at our holiday camps to provide a safe and comfortable leisure environment for the enjoyment of the campers," the spokesman said.
Notices have also been posted at the camp sites, appealing to campers to observe personal hygiene and keep the environment clean.
The Lady MacLehose Holiday Village is now open for bookings between mid-July and October. Interested parties should apply at Leisure Link outlets in the district leisure offices and sports centres located in all 18 districts.
The public may also send in applications now to reserve camp places from November onwards.
Sai Kung Outdoor Recreation Centre and Tso Kung Tam Outdoor Recreation Centre were reopened on May 16 and the Lei Yue Mun Park Holiday Village was reopened on June 1.

by Yoko Ogawa, Vintage, pb RRP $19.95
There may be even more nuances to this story in the original Japanese, but translator Stephen Snyder has provided nuances aplenty in Yoko Ogawa’s sweet and moving tale. But don’t expect a saccharine soapie; this short novel is well grounded in the quotidian.
Despite the somehow risqué title, which makes it seem like a series of images which should be viewed through a coin-operated mutoscope at a seaside amusement parlour, The Housekeeper hardly steers near the sensual – unless you regard mathematics as highly erotic.
With a cast of only four main characters, one of them peripheral but important to the denouement, Ogawa takes us into a small world in which a housekeeper looks after a maths professor who has been in a car crash, which causes his memory to fail after 80 minutes. Thus his suit is tagged with little notes to remind him of various things, such as the name of his housekeeper.
The professor’s mind is still alive to mathematics, however. His delight in prime numbers inspires the housekeeper to make her own investigations, and there are some lovely moments such as the housekeeper’s epiphany in a supermarket on the nature of maths.
As the story goes on, told from the housekeeper’s first-person point of view, we discover that this single mum also has a son, who strikes up a remarkable friendship with the professor, sharing his love of maths and baseball.
It is a story of love and loss and self-discovery told in that quiet style of which many Japanese writers are masters. Ogawa is an easy way in to appreciating the Japanese writers, and I also heartily recommend the work of Haruki Murakami (randomhouse.com/features/murakami).
Ogawa is not all just quiet elegance, however. If you’re looking for something like an erotic mutoscope, it doesn’t come much stranger than Ogawa’s Hotel Iris.

In April, Americans for Tax Reform expressed opposition to Pennsylvania House Bill 911. Last week, this piece of legislation passed the Pennsylvania House and has now moved to the Senate. Reports show the Pennsylvania collects $193 million in 911 fees annually. This figure makes the commonwealth the second highest in the nation when it comes to wireless taxes. Only Texas collects more and it has nearly double the population of Pennsylvania.
Grover Norquist, President, Americans for Tax Reform, wrote a letter urging Pennsylvania lawmakers to oppose House Bill 911. Norquist explains:
“The 911-fee increase from $1.00 to a $1.65 will raise $114 million across all phone services, resulting in a $78 million increase on wireless customers alone. These taxes are not only disproportionate in relation to other taxes, but also in relation to Pennsylvania’s population.”

Expenses from Peachtree fire won't be covered
When a massive fire destroyed the Peachtree Apartments complex April 26, the response by the city and coordination with surrounding towns ran as if it were a planned exercise.
But now the city may have to scramble to pay for it. City officials found out last week the fire cost too little to qualify for federal emergency funds.
City Manager Alan Bergren said Thursday the city spent $60,637 in connection with the fire, including supplies, equipment and overtime for firefighters, police and social services personnel.
The figure fell far short of the $800,000 threshold set by the Federal Emergency Management Agency to qualify for reimbursement.
“The (Norwich) fire department spent over $30,000,” Bergren said. “The police department spent $9,000. Public Works had about $2,000 in overtime. Then you had volunteers like the Taftville and Yantic fire departments. Emergency management spent about $6,000.”
Even the Board of Education incurred some costs. A temporary shelter for residents was set up in the nearby Uncas Elementary School.
Gene Arters, director of emergency management for the city, said from this point Norwich will have to rely on its contingency budget for any shortfalls.
“We have to pretty much assume that there is not federal or state funding coming for that amount,” Arters said.
He said a number of city agencies are conducting Peachtree-related work still, but it has reached the point where it can be done during regular business hours, avoiding overtime.
The fire broke in the early morning hours of April 26. The 120-unit apartment complex burned to the ground, though none of the more than 150 residents were hurt.
The cause was ruled accidental.

HOW TO HELP
— The Charter Oak chapter of the American Red Cross and the Salvation Army on Main Street in Norwich respond to fires and other large and small emergencies in the region.

China’s telecoms will spend a combined 2.8 trillion yuan (US $411 billion) on building out 5G mobile networks from 2020 to 2030, according to a new 5G study from the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology.
The figures in the study, as reported by the South China Morning Post, forecast China to become the biggest 5G market by subscribers in the next decade; China’s 5G subscriber count is expected to reach 588 million by 2022, according to an estimate from equity firm Jefferies. China is currently the largest 4G market, with 843.7 million 4G subscribers as of April 2017.
Here are three key takeaways from the report:
- 5G will spur new revenue for telecom and hardware makers. By 2030, China Mobile, Unicom, and China Telecom are expected to generate 7.9 trillion yuan in combined 5G-related revenue.
- Legacy and emerging mobile services and technologies alike will see more adoption due to 5G speeds. Internet companies and application developers are expected to generate 10.7 trillion yuan in total 5G-related revenue from 2020 to 2030. 5G will power nascent tech like augmented and virtual reality (VR), connected homes, M2M communications, and large-scale operations of IoT devices.
- The 5G market is expected to have such a significant impact on the Chinese economy that it could account for 3.2% of Mainland China’s entire GDP in 2025, generate 8 million jobs, and add 2.9 trillion yuan in economic value by 2030. As demand for 5G services heightens, there will be a boom in new companies, employment opportunities, and sales of equipment.
China’s 5G focus will play a big role domestically in terms of driving mobile usage. 5G’s ability to transmit data roughly 10 times faster than 4G, the current standard, according to Ericsson’s annual Mobility Report, will enable consumers to conduct more standard mobile activities and also add in data-heavy ones, like smartphone-based VR streaming and using artificial intelligence assistants.
But perhaps more importantly, China’s ambitious pursuit of pervasive 5G connectivity could help advance global efforts. While China diverted from global network norms in its 3G standard, it's now working on developing 5G standards with global compatibility in mind, according to a report from FierceWireless. 5G is expected to hit the consumer market sometime around 2020, according to the GSMA.
Peter Newman, research analyst for BI Intelligence, Business Insider's premium research service, has conducted an exclusive study with in-depth research into the field and created a detailed report on the IoT that:
- Provides a primer on the basics of the IoT ecosystem
- Offers forecasts for the IoT moving forward and highlights areas of interest in the coming years

Unlocking Creative Potential: Tips for Collage Mastery
- Concept is Key: A clear concept or story provides a solid foundation for your collage. Think about the emotions, ideas, or narratives you want to convey.
- Visual Cohesion: Maintain a consistent visual theme by selecting images that share similar colors, styles, or motifs. This creates a harmonious and visually appealing composition.
- Play with Contrast: Experiment with contrasting elements, whether it’s images, colors, or textures. Contrast adds visual interest and can highlight specific focal points.
- Negative Space: Don’t be afraid of empty spaces. Negative space can enhance the impact of your collage, allowing viewers to focus on key elements.
- Experiment with Layers: Adobe Express enables you to layer elements, creating depth and dimension within your collage. Experiment with different layer placements for a dynamic visual effect.

Law Firms Balance Internal and External Threats in New Reality
It’s been several years since the Great Recession put the power back into the hands of the buyer of legal services. The movement probably started before then, but in any case, it feels like we should be past the tipping point when it comes to changes made to law firm business models, client fee structures and legal technology, to name a few industry pillars. While we don’t attempt to answer why we haven’t reached that point yet, we continue to track the disruptive trends in the market that are driving change in our 2017 Predictive Legal Trends Report. We found that trends — including mounting cost pressures and the decline in law school admissions — are accelerating, and that their impact is increasing. Law firms continue to see a wane in demand, which creates additional pricing pressure on those that can no longer afford to ignore the industry’s new reality. Broadly, we found traditional law firms still face significant internal and external threats, and clients continue to expect “more for less,” requiring firms to revisit their business models, offerings and ultimately their value propositions. All in all, 2017 is taking shape as a year that will see law firms collaborating closely with their clients primarily to meet their needs, but secondarily to head off the competition – not just from traditional competitors but the emerging class of alternative legal service provider upstarts that threaten their business. And while the results of the U.S. presidential election and ramifications of Brexit will no doubt keep Big Law busy for the foreseeable future, smart firms recognize the opportunity to help clients find clarity amid unprecedented global complexity. For further information, check out the full 2017 Predictive Legal Trends Report.

Empiric Therapy Regimens
Prophylactic antibiotics have been shown to reduce the risk of secondary infection in the setting of corneal abrasions.  Antibiotic drops, ointment, or a combination of both can be used. Ointment offers better barrier protection and more lubrication, but can blur the vision temporarily. Antibiotic ointments are considered first-line therapy for corneal abrasions. [2, 3]
Loose or denuded epithelium should be debrided with either a cotton-tipped applicator soaked in topical anesthetic or a jeweler’s forceps, as the loose epithelium can impede healing.
Non–contact lens wearers
See the list below:
Polymyxin-trimethoprim ophthalmic solution 1-2 drops instilled into affected eye(s) QID for 3-5 days or
Fluoroquinolone ophthalmic solution (see above) QID and antibiotic ointment (see above) QHS for 3-5 days
Note: If the abrasion is secondary to a fingernail or vegetable matter, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic should be included in the treatment regimen.
Contact lens wearers
Contact lens wear should be avoided until the corneal abrasion is healed and the antibiotic course is completed. The patient may resume contact lens wear if the eye feels normal a week after the antibiotic course has been completed. If the lens is implicated, it should be discarded.
Fluoroquinolone ophthalmic solution ( ciprofloxacin 0.3% ophthalmic, ofloxacin 0.3% ophthalmic, moxifloxacin 0.5% ophthalmic, levofloxacin 0.5% ophthalmic, gatifloxacin 0.3% ophthalmic, besifloxacin 0.6% ophthalmic) 1-2 drops instilled into affected eye(s) q2h while awake for 2 days, then q4-8h for 5 days or
Fluoroquinolone ophthalmic solution (see above) q2h while awake and antibiotic ointment (see above) QHS for 2 days, then the fluoroquinolone can be reduced to q4-8h and the antibiotic ointment continued for 5 more days.
Topical anesthetic agents should not be used beyond the ophthalmic examination. Although patients may request anesthetics, prolonged use of anesthetics can lead to reduced corneal sensation and immune function, leading to sight-threatening complications.
Topical nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may be useful in reducing pain from corneal abrasions. Diclofenac ophthalmic or ketorolac ophthalmic solution 1 drop instilled into affected eye(s) QID for ≤2 weeks.
Cycloplegia can also help with pain, especially if there is a component of traumatic iritis. Short-acting agents such as cyclopentolate hydrochloride 0.5% or 1% 1 drop instilled into affected eye(s) TID for ≤2 weeks can be used.
Patching the eye is rarely needed and should not be performed in patients at high risk of infection, such as those who wear contact lenses and those with trauma caused by vegetable matter.
Patching can increase corneal temperature and therefore increase the risk of secondary microbial keratitis after abrasion. It also reduces oxygenation, which can slow reepithelialization. A Cochrane metareview found that patients with a small injury (<10 mm) without a patch healed faster than with a patch.
A bandage contact lens may be a good alternative. It permits vision and oxygenation, while promoting corneal epithelialization and decreasing pain and can be used for several days without complications.  It should not be used in patients who wear contact lenses and those with trauma caused by vegetable matter. It requires mandatory follow-up with an eye care professional.
Abrasions resulting from vegetable matter are at high risk for fungal ulcer.
Abrasions resulting from contact lens wear should be monitored for Pseudomonas infection and amebic keratitis.
Patients who wear contact lenses should be checked in 24 hours to rule out corneal infiltrates or ulcers.

Strikes at two colleges have been called off after leadership struck a deal to improve staff pay.
But industrial action at 13 other colleges is still set to begin next week after management refused to meet University and College Union demands.
UCU members in 15 colleges across England had voted to walk out in a row about pay earlier this summer. College bosses were given until September to increase staff pay by more than five per cent.
Among them was Sheffield College and City College Plymouth, which have both now found resolutions to end the dispute.
UCU head of further education Andrew Harden said: “Management at both City College Plymouth and Sheffield College have listened to staff and made an offer on pay and working conditions that has been accepted.
“Therefore, these colleges will no longer face the severe disruption of industrial action from Tuesday. We hope other employers take note and come back to the negotiating table.”
The UCU and both colleges were, however, unable to provide details of their pay deals at the time of going to press.
Paul Simpson, the executive director for people at The Sheffield College, said: “We are pleased that this issue has been resolved.
“During the last three years, we have offered pay awards above the sector average, including raising the minimum wage to the level of the foundation living wage, reflecting our commitment to investing in our staff.”
A City College Plymouth spokesperson said: “We are pleased to be able to confirm that we have reached an agreement.”
Up to ten days of strike action at the other 13 colleges will begin next week.
Five colleges will spend ten days on the picket line while eight colleges will initially walk out for three days (see table).
UCU said its members have a mandate for further action and that more waves of strikes are on the cards if employers refuse to meet its demands.
In December 2020, the Association of Colleges recommended colleges give their staff a one per cent pay rise because of the unforeseen and “severe financial pressure” colleges were facing owing to the Covid-19 pandemic that has “forced many into deficit”.
But the offer was still condemned by UCU, Unite the Union, Unison, GMB and the National Education Union.
According to UCU, the pay gap between college and schoolteachers currently stands at £9,000 as staff working in further education have suffered real terms pay cuts of over 30 per cent in the past decade.
UCU general secretary Jo Grady said: “College staff are angry at having had their pay held down whilst workloads increase.
“It is completely unacceptable and is especially insulting after staff have worked so hard throughout the Covid pandemic. College leaders urgently need to come to the negotiating table if they want to avoid facing sustained strike action and severe disruption over the next few months.”
Staff at all affected colleges are taking action over pay, but at City & Islington College, Westminster Kingsway College and the College of North East London, which are all part of the Capital City College Group, the dispute also includes other working conditions.

Abstract:-This paper deals with the design of adaptive cruise control (ACC) which was implemented on a passenger car. An important feature of the newly based adaptive cruise control system is that, its ability to manage a competent inter-vehicle gap based on the speed of host vehicle and headway. There are three major inputs to the ACC system, that is, speed of host vehicle read from Memory unit, headway time set by driver, and actual gap measured by the Radar scanner. The system is been adapted with the velocity control at urban environments avoid possibilities of accidents. This paper deals with the design, modulating, and estimation of the controllers performing actions on the longitudinal control of a car to accomplish stop-and-go manoeuvres.

reputation of America at a low point
When I travel to speak in different countries , I spend a good deal of time investigating the reputation of the country I am traveling to and any recent reputational problems they are experiencing. I always want to know what the biggest business scandal, best example of a reputation recovery and what were the most widely covered social media assaults on a business. I usually get asked to comment on these types of questions one way or another during a media interview or in a Q&A session and I like to be prepared.
On my last trip, I was all prepared to talk about Turkey’s issues with the protests in Gezi Park. But everywhere I turned, I was also asked what I thought about the reputation of the United States in light of the government shutdown? Did I think its reputation was being harmed? I have to say that I was somewhat startled by the question because I am always so focused on the country that I am visiting that I forget that it goes both ways. But this time, I realized without any doubt that the reputation of America was being seriously damaged abroad by the incivility and absurdity of the standoff. It felt awful.
This week, we saw something I have posted about before….how companies are increasingly becoming involved in political issues, sometimes against their own will. And this week we saw first hand another form of Starbucks Diplomacy. The CEO of Starbucks, Howard Schultz, posted a note on his company website deploring the shutdown — “Please join me in pleading for civility and a respectful, honest discourse among politicians to bring a solution to the current stalemate.” And today, another note about Americans coming together for the collective good and signing a petition demanding that Congress put an end to the shutdown. Since I really want to get our reputation back on track, I’m all for this.

Without snowfall or ice on the roads, decisions by several Maryland school systems to cancel schools during a recent cold snap perplexed many.
The polar vortex brought frigid arctic air into most of the country, and many schools in Baltimore and the region canceled or delayed classes — a measure aimed at keeping students warm and avoiding facility problems.
Harford County Public Schools were among those closed Tuesday, when temperatures were in the single digits. The school system also had two-hour delays on Monday and Wednesday.
Teri Kranefeld, a spokeswoman for Harford County schools, said the scheduling decisions reflected concern about the safety of students exposed to the chilly weather and questions about how school buildings would handle record-setting lows.
"We had to consider how our facilities will react to the extreme temperatures," Kranefeld said.
She said that a few schools had sustained building damage such frozen pipes, which have since been repaired. "The majority of our parents were pleased we were erring on the side of caution," she said.
Facing similar concerns, Baltimore City and Baltimore County schools opened two hours late on Tuesday.
Edie House Foster, a spokeswoman for Baltimore City schools, said in an email that a delay was sufficient because it allowed for temperatures to rise before students headed out, gave buses time to get back on schedule and enabled staffer members to resolve cold issues at the schools.
Two Baltimore schools had to close Tuesday due to weather-related issues.
Though the district decided to open two hours late, many complained about conditions over social media, and many students stayed home. City school officials reported a 60 percent attendance rate for the district on Tuesday. On Wednesday, the number bounced back to 84 percent.
Montgomery County Public Schools chose a different tack, operating on a normal schedule.
"We felt that we could open the schools safely," said Dana Tofig, a spokesman for the school system. "The schools were heated, the buses were heated. There was no ice, no snow."
Maintenance crews prepared the schools, and bus drivers began their shifts early. Buses that had trouble starting were replaced, causing some delays in picking up students.
Tofig said there was concern about students walking to school and waiting in the cold at bus stops, but officials felt the decision to open was the right move.
Anne Arundel County schools also opened on time Tuesday, drawing complaints from parents. They made the same decision after freezing rain hit the region Friday — though they said they regretted it and decided students would not be penalized for being late or absent.


Linda Straite - Time flac mp3
Overview (current section). Hmm, it looks like we don't know anything about this artist!
Silk Purse is the second studio album by Linda Ronstadt, released in March 1970, a year after the release of her solo debut, Hand Sown.
It peaked at on Billboard's Pop Album Chart and on Billboard's Country Album Chart. It is considered to be a front-runner in the country rock music genre.
King’s first album for the Stax label combines his hard, unflashy guitar playing with the sleek sound of the label’s house band, Booker T. and the MG’s. Hits such as Crosscut Saw and Laundromat Blues earned King a new rock & roll audience. By their fifth album, Kiss were the most popular band in America, with sold-out stadium tours and eventually their own pinball machine, makeup line and a TV movie. Built around the proto power ballad Beth, this is a ridiculously over-the-top party-rock album that just gets better with age. Listen here. Richard and Linda Thompson, ‘I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight’. Richard played guitar like a Sufi-mystic Neil Young; wife Linda had the voice of a Celtic Emmylou Harris. This is their great statement of folk-rock dread.

Plants of Quamoclit lobata House were exposed to an 8-hour photoperiod under natural daylight, which was supplemented with 60 W incandescent lamps to give an 8- to 24-hour day. Under photoperiods of 12 hours or less, flower buds were initiated, while the period from bud formation to flowering was shortened in plants grown under a 12-hour photoperiod. Photoperiods of 12 hours or less had no effect on plant height and number of nodes. The present results suggest that Q. lobata House is a short-day plant.

Just finished two more models for my Dyniaq's:
Arnold Pinewood, tough fighter, quicker with sword than with mind, needs some guideance from other band members, but when it comes to melee, there's no match for him. The fur on his boots is from Sasquatch's scalp!
Arachniaq, the most mysterious and fearsome beast from the whole forest.
And here are some more Dyniaq's waiting to be painted, soon they'll join the band.

Mike & Claudia Weersing’s Pyramid Valley label has quietly yet confidently found a cult following not only in NZ & Australia but around the world (available in extremely limited quantities only). And for good reason. It is essentially a collection of Grand Cru level vineyards in an otherwise unknown patch of pure & crisp NZ countryside.
From obsessive & precise site selection and densely planting carefully selected genetic material, to fiercely hands-on biodynamic farming both in the vineyards and surrounding farm, to fanatical handling of fruit at harvest; this producer is dedicated to producing some of the finest wine in the world The Pyramid Valley vineyards are Chardonnay & Pinot Noir planted on their own rootstock on a marriage of clay-limestone, the soil structure that has made Burgundy’s Cote d’Or the holy land for these two varieties. A mere 2.2Ha has been planted across four vineyards, each at a density of 10,000-12,000 vines/Ha (Grand Cru Burgundy density).
The four home vineyards each have distinct character due their unique soil types, aspect and slope. Each block has been named by Claudia according to the weed varieties prominent in each, which also reflect the difference in soils.
Each vineyard’s harvest is vinified separately, though all are handled the same way with fermentation and elevage happening in old barrels and clay amphora, which is a meticulous attempt to retain vineyard expression over winemaking practice.
A range of non-estate wines are produced under the Grower’s Collection heading, allowing Claudia & Mike to work with admired colleagues & friends, and special sites outside of their own. It also allows them to play with varieties other than those they farm at home.

Startup Grind is a global startup community designed to educate, inspire, and connect entrepreneurs. It is powered by Google for Entrepreneurs.
All across the world, Startup Grinds events are hosted monthly. In fact, the organization has a presence in more than 200 cities and 85 countries. Events attract successful local founders, innovators, educators and investors who share personal stories and lessons learned on the road to building great companies.
The Startup Grind Las Vegas chapter was started in 2013 by Michael Terpin. After a hiatus for part of 2015, the organizing team is excited to be back. The organizers say they have a great respect for the Las Vegas startup community, and wanted to foster partnerships in the tech industry locally. There have been more than 20 Startup Grind events over the years in Las Vegas.
“Startup Grind is a global entrepreneur community with chapters in 85 countries,” said Molly Waldron, Startup Grind Las Vegas Organizer. “We bring together entrepreneurs for networking and discussion, with each event featuring a “fireside chat” with a speaker who shares his/her experiences and insights. Past speakers have included founders, investors, and consultants, all with unique perspectives on achieving success in the startup world.”
Warren Whitlock, Startup Grind Las Vegas Co-Director, adds that he sees Startup Grind as an extraordinary opportunity to get to know founders and entrepreneurs in a small group setting and learn from a speaker. “When we get a speaker like Halsey Minor, who has succeeded so well for so long, it’s an inspiration meeting I’d never miss,” he said.
“#VegasTech’s great strength is community. Startup Grind has a great program and we appreciate being including in sharing, and the strong support of regular attendees. Please tell your friends, then come join us and meeting other founders, investors and supporters.”
The April Startup Grind Las Vegas event will be held at The Iron Yard in downtown Las Vegas on April 18, 2016.
“With its focus on tech education, The Iron Yard is a natural fit for Startup Grind and we’re excited to connect with the students and leaders there,” said Waldron.
“Our Co-Director Michael Terpin has an excellent business relationship with this month’s speaker Halsey Minor, so he reached out to him knowing that Halsey will be in Las Vegas during NAB,” she continued.
An Internet and tech pioneer, Halsey Minor was a key player in the digital publishing revolution. In 1993, he founded CNET Networks, the first comprehensive consumer-facing technology content publisher and one of the most-visited and trusted technology information resources in the world. Halsey led CNET to become a NASDAQ 100 company. CNET was acquired by CBS Corporation in 2008 for $1.8 billion.
“One of Halsey’s current projects is Voxelus, a platform that makes it possible for anyone to create, share and play virtual reality games and experiences without coding,” explained Waldron. “We’re excited to have such a pioneer in the tech world join us for this Startup Grind event.”
In 2015, Minor founded Voxelus, a platform that allows anyone, anywhere to create, share and play virtual reality games and experiences without writing a single line of code. Starting January 2016, Uphold connected to the Voxel blockchain (Voxchain), which means that VOX can be transferred between external VOX wallets and Uphold wallets, as well as being convertible from all other currencies supported by Uphold.
“We’re always looking for new venue spaces for our events,” said Waldron. “If you’re willing to open up your space for about 60-70 Vegas entrepreneurs and business leaders on a weeknight, we’d love to hear from you. We’re also looking for food and beverage sponsors for Startup Grind events. We’d ideally love to partner with local restaurant owners so that we can highlight their businesses while feeding our Startup Grind guests. If you’re interested in venue, food/beverage, or additional sponsorship opportunities, let’s talk! You can email me at [email protected]”
