September 2020 Album Round Up!
October 12, 2020 November 19, 2020 Ryan Panny
What's up guys! Another month, another Album Round Up. Below is a quick run-through of all the records I checked out this month:
Alicia Keys – Alicia: Alicia's eponymous seventh record strikes a great balance between its politically-charged context and the universality of its themes. While a track like "Perfect Way to Die" plainly addresses the current police brutality conversation in a powerful way, it also double as a moving meditation on mortality in general. Perhaps my favorite cut on the record is the uplifting "Authors of Forever", in which Keys teaches her audience to turn struggles into ownership, and turn pain into hope. RECOMMENDED.
Big Sean – Detroit 2: Three-and-a-half years after 2017's overrated but admittedly career-best I Decided, Big Sean has now dropped his ACTUAL greatest project. In this sequel to his 2012 mixtape, Sean's lyrics are as honest as they've ever been, his bars are as sharp as they've ever been, his flows are as nimble as they've ever been, and a whole host of A-listers (most notably Hit-Boy) bless him with the best production he's ever rapped over. Some particular highlights include the Lil' Wayne-assisted "Don Life", the Mike Will-produced "Harder Than My Demons", and "Deep Reverence" featuring the late Nipsey Hussle, in which Sean finally addresses the long-rumored Kendrick Lamar beef. RECOMMENDED.
Deftones – Ohms: I know I do this little dance every time Deftones drop a new album, but Ohms just might be my favorite Deftones record to date. As a '90s kid who feels zero nostalgia toward the Alt-Metal craze that helped make Deftones a household name, I hear substantial flaws in otherwise codified classics like White Pony – Chino Moreno's pitchy vocals, the dated rap-rock tropes, some uneven mixing here and there – that have arguably vanished from the band's 2010s output. In yet another step forward for the group, Ohms keeps much of soaring melody of 2016's Gore while bringing heavy, loud guitars back to the forefront. And once again, no one in the universe sounds quite like Deftones, love 'em or hate 'em. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Machine Gun Kelly – Tickets To My Downfall: The Hip-Hop world might've been shocked to learn that Colson Baker had reinvented himself as a discount Pop-Punker in 2020, but not me. I could've told you this was gonna happen five years ago. Aside from the fact that he teased these aspirations on one of the worst albums of 2017, consider the following: Machine Gun Kelly and early-2000s Pop-Punk have almost exactly the same fanbase; whiny white teenagers who love tattoos, substance abuse, and wallowing in their perpetual existential crises. Not that there's anything wrong with any of that – I think it was a smart move on Kelly's part and the sound fits him surprisingly well, especially with the help of Travis Barker. I might've even been a fan….if this had come out in 2006. NOT RECOMMENDED.
Marilyn Manson – We Are Chaos: Now in his 50s, America's favorite cultural scapegoat of 1999 is STILL reinventing himself album after album, long after anybody cared. It's too bad, because people don't realize that there is a ton of interesting Manson material outside of his holy trinity of '90s classics (Antichrist Superstar, Mechanical Animals, and Holy Wood). We Are Chaos is his most interesting evolution in over a decade, as Marilyn and co-producer Shooter Jennings succeed in crafting real Rock anthems – the Industrial eccentricities of years past are conspicuously absent, as are the metallic edges, not to mention the Alternative leanings explored in 2015's The Pale Emperor. What we're left with is a stripped-back, accessible Marilyn Manson that WORKS – the anthemic title cut, the closing ballad "Broken Needle", and the stomping "Infinite Darkness" are all prime examples. RECOMMENDED.
Napalm Death – Throes of Joy in the Jaws of Defeatism: On their first full-length release in half a decade, these British legends add to their towering legacy once again with a blistering mix of Death, Grind, and pockets of Groove to keep it all contained. My bias towards the Death Metal-infused Fear, Emptiness, Despair era of the band may lead me to fawn over this record more than the average fan would, but it has rightfully earned its place in my Top 10 Metal Albums of 2020. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Ozuna – Enoc: I'm proud to say that my first heartfelt attempt at an album by this Latino superstar was a success. As soon as I got past the sameness of the production (a vast majority of these tracks center on that same all-too-familiar syncopated Latin dance rhythm), I was able to find some passive enjoyment song-to-song. I know enough Spanish to get by, and cuts like the Trap-infused "El Oso del Dinero" offer an interesting take on American Hip-Hop. I'm not likely to leap out of my seat at the next 20-track Ozuna project that comes out, but his sound undoubtedly has its merits. RECOMMENDED.
YoungBoy Never Broke Again – Top: I took a flyer on YoungBoy with this one and enjoyed a chunk of what I heard. It's not the most lyrically sophisticated or the most forward-thinking in terms of production, but it's well-executed across the board, with NBA's spacious sing-song flows and hyper-aggression playing off one other for about an hour. Trim about 40 percent of the fat on this LP and I'd be a repeat customer. NOT RECOMMENDED.
Conway the Machine – From King to a God (Hip-Hop)
Fit for a King – The Path (Metal)
The Flaming Lips – American Head (Alternative)
Kataklysm – Unconquered (Metal)
Public Enemy – What You Gonna Do When the Grid Goes Down? (Hip-Hop)
Didn't Enjoy
Cloudkicker – Solitude (Instrumental)
Fleet Foxes – Shore (Alternative)

Q: Finding a group of vertices in a graph so that each vertex can reach k other vertices Let G=(V,E) be a directed graph and k is an integer. I need to find in a linear time the group of vertices so that each vertex in this group can reach exactly k vertices (including itself).
The first thing I thought about was to use Kosaraju's algorithm in order to find the strongly connected components of the graph. Each vertex inside a connected component can obiously reach at least the vertices in this connected component, so all is left is to see how the components are connected. However, I did not come up with a linear solution.
Any hints?
Thanks.

A: Your first step is correct. Each strongly connected components can be substituted with one vertex, for which starting # of reachable vertices is number of elements in this component. After operation of substituting we get directed acyclic graph. Now for each of this super vertices we want to find how many vertices can be reached from it. One idea would be to sort this graph topologically. After this operation all arrows point into one direction. Without loss of generality we can assume they point to the right, so our graph looks more or less like this:
a -> b ----> e -> f -> g
  \             /
    -> c -> d -

For each vertex we have its starting counter which we got from first phase of assembling vertices from one strongly connected components. What we would like to do now is go from right to left and for each vertex have set of vertices reachable from it. Operation which we need is fast merge of this sets. Here with help comes Find-Union data structure. You can add one more field to usual size and rank which will store # of reachable vertices and update it as you union two sets.
This will lead to almost linear time: O(n * alpha(n)) where alpha(n) is inverse of Ackermann function which is very very small. For huge data it will not be bigger than 5, so you can think of it as constant.
I wonder if somebody can make it without alpha.

A: I think the first answer is incorrect. You might be able to create the reachable group of nodes for every node from a union of its sons' reachables in the scc graph BUT you need to make copies of the sons' groups in order to do this (or else you mess up their reachables). So the complexity is n*n minimum or in fact n * E if im not mistaking. Thats because the copies need to be made * before * the union operation, so you need to go through n*(num of sons) for each node..The complexity of this would be n*E + n(alpha(n)). Completely redundant therefore to use union find..You can use n sized arrays for each node.

Meet Mabel – my adorable 11 year old sister. She is absolutely my "mini me" – and I just can't believe she's 11 already. I don't get the chance to photograph her as much as I'd like, so when we decided to the photos for my parents Christmas Card – I was really excited. Can you believe this will be their first year doing a *photo* Christmas Card….and I'm a photographer? I think it's wonderful when people choose locations and props that are unique and meaningful. We decided on a really special place, my grandparents farm/house in VA – and even more special, we were able to incorporate some pieces that were my grandfather's. The most special of all being the tractor. I'm pretty sure that every one of us learned to drive on that tractor….going up and down the field all.day.long. I can still hear my grandfather reminding us NOT to turn around in the field and risk running over whatever happened to be planted at the time. It's been years since I've driven that old tractor, and Mabel never had. She got her chance that day, and she's pretty good at it too.
Emily and Toby are getting hitched…..next weekend. We did their session last month, and I'm just now getting it up on the blog.
Emily and I share several mutual friends, and Toby is the cousin of one of my May brides, Gretchen. I love when I work with families multiple times, because you really do get to know everyone. We tried for a couple of weeks to fit in their session, but between schedules and rain we were starting to think it might just not happen. Luckily we finally had some great weather, and a change of locations, and we were good to go. As most people here on the Outer Banks, our lives revolve around the water – and that's definitely true for Toby, who runs his own charter boat business. We chose Pirate's Cove for our location, and it really fit.
Congrats guys and I'm looking forward to next weekend!
I am WAY behind on my blogging for the year. With the season pretty much coming to a close, most sessions have been getting a preview on facebook or going directly to their online gallery. I'm going to be back-blogging some sessions here before too long.
Until then, meet Courtney and her wonderful family!
I've known Courtney since middle school – I can't believe it goes that far back. Growing up in a small town, I'm pretty sure she was the other Courtney I'd ever met for a long time. Not to mention we both had last names starting with "H"….well…you get the rest. Courtney and her hubby Jeremy have lived all over – including being stationed in Germany, where they welcomed son Colin into the family. I'm pretty sure she told me in the 3.5 years they lived there they traveled all over – and have now been to about 7 countries. Cute little Colin has a been a respectable 5 himself, which is no easy feat for a 5 year old. 😉 Courtney emailed to let me they were going to be back in town visiting family, and wanted to set up a shoot. We had a great time this morning out on the beach with BEAUTIFUL weather! October is a wonderful time here on the OBX, and this morning didn't disappoint. Colin was so well behaved and made it through the whole thing. Even better – we got some unusually blue sky for a morning session in several shots. Can't get any better than that!!


Talk by Mr. Linus Kendall, a Ph.D. researcher at Sheffield-Hallam University.
Every year, the months of March, April and May see a flurry of activities at IIITB, owing to the end of the semester evaluations and admissions cycles for all programs -- April 2016 was no exception. April 2016 also saw the 9th edition of excITe programme where 52 students from selected high schools spent a week interacting with IIITB faculty. We conducted the Alumni meet and welcomed the new council members of MITRA Team. The weather in Bengaluru has become noteworthy owing to the soaring temperatures -- April 25, 2016 saw the highest recorded temperature of 39.2 degrees Celsius, breaking a 85-year record. The summer vacations will be a welcome break to all students!Happy reading!

The team "Spark" (Anisha Lunawat (MT2014006), Sanyam Jain (MT2014104)) has won the first runners up prize at the Philips Hue Hackathon, conducted by Philips Lightning India on April 2. The team won Philips Hue Go, a portable mobile operable Lamp costing INR 9,000 each.
About the event: It was the first-ever hackathon for the Hue Lighting platform organized by Philips. Having pioneered the connected lighting category in India with the launch of Philips Hue – the dynamic app-enabled LED home lighting system, the hackathon engaged with the app development community with over 200 participants, to come up with new use cases and scenarios around HUE lighting. In the day-long event, Philips provided the coders and developers with HUE SDK, around which software programs were developed on the code fest day. The HUE SDK used globally, is developed in India at Philips Innovation Campus in Bangalore.
What Team Spark Built: The team leveraged the power of IFTTT & HUE SDK to build a messaging bot by which a user could control the lights (state & color) by sending a WhatsApp message. Additionally, the bot could understand emotions in the conversation & responded by changing the color of the lights. If user messaged "I Miss Home", the lights turned violet and for "I love IIITB!" the color changed to bright orange.
The team Refugees (Parth Savjani (MT2014107), Anubhav Bhardwaj (IMT2012006), Lijo Johny (IMT2012023), Abhijay (IMT2012049)) has won the first place with prize money of INR 1 Lakh at Hackerramp 2016 Hackathon conducted by Myntra.
About the event: Over 500 participants embarked upon a mission to develop intuitive methods and intelligent codes to build innovative mobile commerce solutions within 24 hours. Leading platform for fashion brands and pioneer in e-commerce, Myntra, invited the finest tech minds in the city and challenged them to create game-changing mobile technologies, themed around Computer Vision, Big Data, and Artificial Intelligence. The event witnessed over 500 internal & external participants from companies including Walmart Labs, Intuit, Hike and Practo. The event was judged by Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Myntra, Mr. Shamik Sharma, Mr. Amod Malviya (Ex-CTO of Flipkart) among other VCs and investors.
What Team Refugees built: The team made an artificially intelligent bot that recommends clothes using user's selfie and twitter handle. The machine learning algorithm understands a user's personality and improves predictions as the user clicks on the recommended products.
The team "Vikings" (Akshay Jindal (IMT2012002), Ananth Murthy (IMT2012004), Prerit Jain (IMT2012033) and Sanat R (IMT2012039)) has won the second place at the Steer Quest Hackathon, conducted by ABAI held during April 16-17. The team won a cash prize of INR 30,000/-.
Team PalmosCare (Lukshya Madan (IMT2012024) and Sudeshna Nag (IMT2014055)) has won the third place at Cisco's first-ever "Great Digital India Challenge" and was awarded a cash prize of INR 75,000/-.
About the event: It was an event, focused on IoT based ideation challenge for India, where over forty of India's top universities participated, thus targeting heavy participation from the students. Eight teams were chosen as semi-finalists. The teams worked with Cisco Systems, Inc.'s Chief Information Officers (CIOs) and faculty members at participating colleges to build working prototypes of their ideas.
What Team PalmosCare built: The team's project has been titled, "Improving the response time in the case of a reported medical emergency using the taxi aggregator model". The team aimed to improve the response time in the case of a reported emergency by using the taxi aggregator model and tie-up with local clinics, hospitals, ambulance service providers and Insurance companies. The team achieved this goal by optimal utilization of resources and proposed a centralized control system for Emergency Response Systems. The centralized system has been designed to have features to: (a) keep track of the location of all ambulances which are available and the emergency resources available at every hospital; (b) identify the nearest ambulance and provide the driver the quickest route to the patient based on GPS and real-time traffic data (which can be obtained from Google Maps); (c) identify the optimal hospital for a particular emergency case based on location, traffic conditions, emergency room status and hospital category; and provide a route to this hospital; and (d) send a notification to the hospital with details of the patient, including estimated time of arrival of the ambulance and equipment needed. The data gathered by this system can be used to generate average statistics about response time and accident prone areas, which can help policy makers while allocating new resources.
The Team Innovators (Nupur Garg (MT2014081), Shivam Kumar (IMT2013042)) has won the second place at the Women Techmakers Hackathon, held during April 16-17, at Flipkart office, Cessna Park. Each member of the team won an Amazon Kindle. About the event: WTM Hack 2016 (Women Techmakers) is a 24-hour women hackathon powered by GDG Bangalore, as part of the International Women's Day. It hosted some of the top professionals and student developers from across the nation, gathered to build the next generation of innovative software and hardware products. To make this an inclusive event, they invited male participants as well to participate, with a limitation of one per team. What Team Innovators built: Money from Government supported projects impacts citizens and businesses directly through the contracts that are awarded for public goods or services - such as for laying roads or building schools. Surprisingly, not many people know about these contracts on which taxpayers are investing in, even when these contracts imply large amounts of public money dedicated for their neighborhood. Citizen awareness of such contracts and accountability of the contractors can deter corruption and improve quality of delivery. The idea is to develop application for citizens to inform them of logistics of a contract dedicated to in their neighborhood -- which include checking if a contract awarded out of Government funded project is for their neighborhood, deliveries of such contracts, and the bidder who won the contract. It will enable citizens to share their feedback, pictures, and other files to help track progress and provide crowd awareness. Also, the team provided dashboard to the admin so that he/she can visualize feedbacks based on sentiment analysis, tender status, ward details etc.
Profs. Jyotsna Bapat (PI) and Debabrata Das (CoPI), have been awarded a grant of INR 1.68 crores for project titled, "Cooperating Objects for Privacy Aware Smart public buildings (COPAS)", from Cognizant Technology and DeitY. The first kick-off meeting of the project was held on April 19.
Alumni, Dipanjan Sarkar (MT2012043) and Raghav Bali (MT2012108) have authored a book titled "R Machine Learning by Example" on machine learning in data science, published by PACKT publishing.

TATSURO YAMASHITA
Posted on:	 December 4, 2018	 Last updated on:	 December 4, 2018	 Comments:	0	Categorized in:	Japanese Artists, TATSURO YAMASHITA Written by:	frnyc-admin
Tatsuro Yamashita is considered to be one of the representative musicians of Japanese New Music, City Pop. The urban musicality of his work generated followers of later Japanese music artists.
Tatsuro Yamashita was influenced by many musicians of American pop rock like Brian Wilson and Beach Boys. Also, he is one of the enthusiastic fans of Do-Wop in Japan, and also has abundant knowledge. It is also known by using the technique of "one person acapella" which overwrites its own vocal. He is also a fan of Soft Rock, Blue-Eyed Soul, Chorus Group, Sweet Soul, and others. Also, he is a fan of James Brown and garage rock. Tatsuro Yamashita and Kenta Hagiwara are representative of beach boys fans in Japan.
From the particulars of music making and original production attitude, it is also called "Sound Craftsman". In addition to vocals and backing chorus, he does recording works by all himself from arranging to guitar, driving computer, synthesizer, percussion. There are also songs that perform all the performances by himself. He is particularly good at rhythm cutting of guitar. It has a strong style of acoustic feeling, but because of the policy to utilize the latest technology, he has a wide range of know-how covering from analog to digital.
He formed Sugar Babe with Taeko Onuki and made her debut in the album "SONGS" (1975). On Niagara label of producer Otaki Eiichi, he participated in the work of Nippon Columbia era as chorus and strings arrangement. Especially deeply involved in Otaki's solo album "NIAGARA MOON" (1975) and "NIAGARA CALENDAR" (1977).

Home World News Canada news Can employers make the COVID-19 vaccine mandatory? The law isn't clear
Can employers make the COVID-19 vaccine mandatory? The law isn't clear
As Canadians await the arrival of the first batch of vaccine doses, employers and provincial leaders are grappling with the question of whether to make the shots mandatory to ensure a smooth return to normal life.
So far, most premiers have ruled out compelling all citizens to get a shot. Based on recent polling, a sizeable minority of Canadians — up to 18 per cent of those surveyed — have said they will refuse to be vaccinated and provinces aren't spoiling for a fight during a mass immunization campaign.
But in the absence of a provincial decree, some employers are now seeking legal opinions on whether they can demand that staff and customers be vaccinated before allowing them to enter their workplaces.
In the United Kingdom, where health authorities started vaccinating people on Tuesday, some bars, cinemas, restaurants and concert venues already have signalled plans to demand proof of vaccination from patrons once the shot becomes more widely available. In Canada, there is talk of a "vaccine passport" — a digital wallet that would store immunization records.
Proof of immunization inevitable: expert
Ticketmaster exploring new safety measures
Neena Gupta, a labour lawyer at Gowlings in Waterloo, Ont., has fielded half a dozen calls this week from companies wanting to know how much leeway they have to make shots compulsory for employees.
"It's never a yes/no answer in law, which is why people get frustrated with lawyers. It is a complicated issue," she told CBC News. "I don't think the legal issues around mandatory vaccination are simple at all."
Gupta said a provincial medical officer of health or a local public health authority could implement a vaccine mandate, similar to what is already in place for masks in many jurisdictions.
"That takes the responsibility away from every individual employer having to fight this out with their employees or with their workers, and puts the responsibility for a public health measure where it belongs, which is on public health," she said.
"Sometimes that means taking a bit of blowback for the greater good."
The authorities could then allow accommodations for people who, for whatever reason, can't get a shot, or for those who refuse vaccination on religious or moral grounds.
"Those people will have to be accommodated because there's an absolute right of accommodation under the human rights code," Gupta said.
WATCH: Canadians growing less supportive of a mandatory COVID-19 vaccine, poll suggests
A new poll from Leger suggests Canadians are growing less supportive of making a COVID-19 vaccine mandatory when one becomes available. 7:43
Gupta said provinces might impose a different set of more stringent requirements for employees working in sensitive sectors, such as long-term care homes or retirement residences, or other health-care settings where infections have been much more common during the pandemic.
Gupta said Canadian courts have upheld past vaccine and mask mandates for health care workers, but the case law is inconsistent.
In 2013, a B.C. arbitrator allowed a provincial policy that requires health care workers in that province to be vaccinated or to wear face masks during flu season. The arbitrator called the policy "a valid exercise of the employer's management rights."
But in a similar case in Ontario in 2002, arbitrators overruled a mandatory flu vaccine policy, citing the employer's failure to secure an order from the provincial medical officer of health as justification.

Gupta said a directive from public health officers — such as B.C.'s Dr. Bonnie Henry or Ontario's Dr. David Williams — requiring vaccines for all workers in the health sector would level the playing field for health care employers and prevent a patchwork of policies across different sites.
"That helps the employer. They're saying, 'I'm not imposing this arbitrarily. I'm acting in a manner that is congruent with public health requirements,'" Gupta said.
"The expectation is that employees must be vaccinated. And if they can't be vaccinated, there's got to be a good reason and they can try to find them other work," she said. "If there isn't other work, they go on an unpaid infectious disease leave."
WATCH: Tracing the roots of the anti-mask movement
To wear a mask, or not to wear a mask? It's a uniquely "2020" question, and as fraught with politics as with public health implications. 6:52
In Ontario, the Occupational Health and Safety Act stipulates that employers have an obligation to get rid of known hazards in the workplace and protect employees from work-related illness or injury.
To that end, employers often take precautions to limit the spread of infectious diseases in the workplace. A vaccine requirement for workers outside a health care setting, however, has not yet been tested in a Canadian court.
Ontario's Immunization of School Pupils Act could serve as a template. The province requires students to be vaccinated against certain diseases, with some exceptions.
Ontario and New Brunswick require immunization for diphtheria, tetanus, polio, measles, mumps and rubella for all students, while Manitoba requires a measles vaccination.
"I think there would be an argument for employers to say, 'I'm trying to protect my workforce. It's a health and safety issue, and therefore these are the rules to come into my place,'" Gupta said.
However, if an employer terminates an employee who cites a valid reason for refusing to get a COVID-19 vaccine, the termination could amount to a human rights violation, she said.
The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration has stated that employers can legally impose a flu vaccine requirement on their workforce, but employees have the right to request medical or religious exemptions under federal anti-discrimination laws.
With the employment question largely unsettled, some private companies are pushing ahead with plans to demand that customers provide proof of vaccination before entering their businesses.
There is also talk of developing a sort of national "vaccine passport" that would make it easy for individuals to prove to a store manager or staff member — through a smartphone app — that they've gotten the COVID-19 shot.
Dr. Kumanan Wilson, a researcher in public health innovation at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute, said he thinks some sort of passport-style program is inevitable for certain sectors.
Since the early days of the pandemic, he has been calling for a national effort to arm Canadians with digital proof that shows whether they have the ability to transmit COVID-19.
He said there's a distinction between proof of immunization and mandatory immunization.
"This isn't a novel concept. We already have proof of immunization needed for a variety of uses," Wilson told CBC News, pointing to school vaccine mandates and international restrictions on travellers entering countries where yellow fever is endemic.
"I can definitely see the argument in favour of it. They obviously want to protect their workers, they want to protect their patrons. They also want to protect their livelihood," he said of businesses that want to allow only the vaccinated to enter their premises once shots have been widely distributed.
Heavy-handed measures are needed to help us get to that better place. It's not like our liberties aren't already restricted – Dr. Kumanan Wilson
He said he doesn't want to see some sort of "wild, wild west" climate where individual businesses develop their own systems for proof of immunization. Instead, he said, he wants the provinces and territories to take the lead in developing a database to track vaccination status.
That information could then be made available for download in a digital wallet. He said governments are best placed to "mitigate the ethical and legal concerns" that could arise from such a program.
"The first use case is going to be for international travel, and that's already happening," he said. "This is happening without governments necessarily having a solution. That industry is already moving this forward."

Wilson is working with the World Economic Forum (WEF) to develop something called the "CommonPass," a way for travelers to confirm their COVID status without revealing detailed health information.
The program lets travelers access lab test results or vaccination records held in existing data systems or personal digital health records apps, such as Apple Health. It's a program that the WEF hopes will ease "border restrictions, lockdowns and stalled tourism that has led to a host of problems including global job losses, food insecurity and expanding poverty."
The International Air Transport Association (IATA), an airline trade association that represents 290 airlines worldwide, is in the final stages of developing a digital COVID-19 vaccine passport for travellers.
The digital health document, called the IATA Travel Pass, will allow travellers to certify that they have immunity from COVID-19, either through a past infection or vaccination, and to share that information with airlines and border authorities. The app could also store COVID-19 testing information.
Air Canada and WestJet have not staked out positions on the matter, but Australia's Qantas Airlines has said passengers will need proof of immunization for international flights once vaccines are readily available.

Wilson said it's likely mass gathering events, such as concerts and professional sports competitions, also will require some sort of proof of immunization before allowing tens of thousands of people to congregate in one place with the virus still rampant.
"I think going to a stadium of fifty thousand people and scanning for proof of immunization — I could easily see that becoming a routine process in the short run, at least until we get the virus under control," he said.
Just as metal detectors became ubiquitous after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, he said, proof of immunization will become more routine.
"Heavy-handed measures are needed to help us get to that better place. It's not like our liberties aren't already restricted," he said.
Ticketmaster, the largest seller of tickets for concerts and events, has said there is "absolutely no requirement from Ticketmaster mandating vaccines/testing for future events," but it is exploring new safety features that event organizers might decide to employ once events begin again.
Those features could include a way for digital tickets to be linked to vaccine status, negative test results and health declarations.

Margaritas, mariachis and Mexican food. This alliterative trio has become the foundation of what is the biggest Mexican holiday not really celebrated in Mexico. Yes, you are free to imbibe on cervezas and tequila on Cinco de Mayo, but that doesn't mean you're celebrating Mexican independence.
What has become the corporate battle cry for Americans to take up arms-of lagers and margaritas-and celebrate our brothers and sisters to the South, actually has a much deeper meaning that might not warrant donning fake mustaches and sombreros.
People also have forgotten the real Mexican Independence Day. The country declared its autonomy September 16, 1810, over half a century before the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. Since 1825, September 16 has been a day of commemorating when the revolutionary priest, Father Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla delivered his "Grito de Dolores" from the pulpit, a decree against Spanish Imperialism. It is the Mexican "Fourth of July," a national holiday where few businesses are open and governmental agencies shut down to commemorate their breaking away from Spanish rule.
Cinco de Mayo,the day that the United States has re-branded as the hispanic sister to Saint Patrick's Day-another confused American "holiday"-is remembered in Mexico as the day a rag-tag militia of Mexicans, lead by General Ignacio Zaragoza, defeated the invading French forces despite being outnumbered 2-1. The French, who invaded Mexico after President Benito Juarez claimed the country was too poor to pay its debts, were eventually victorious and installed a monarchy (with an Austrian king) that lasted about five years before.
Still, the victory at Puebla became a symbol of Mexican resistance and the day that is still commemorated in Mexico with reenactments and parades, but mostly in the state of Puebla. Outside of that, the holiday is celebrated more heartily north of the Rio Grande.
"Quite frankly, the reason I believe Cinco de Mayo is such a minor holiday in Mexico is that it's an embarrassing holiday to Mexico," Arroyo said.
Rehashing the road that lead to the French invasion is painful for Mexicans. Mexico's defeat and lack of patriotism during the Mexican-American War gave the country an aura weakness and indifference. The French invasion was by invite from a group of conservatives who lost the War of Reform in the late 1850s and preferred a French monarchy rather than let the liberals rule. To add to the indifference, one of the heroes of the Battle of Puebla, Porfirio Diaz, went on to become president, ruling the country as what many historians regard as a dictatorship from 1867-1911 before his exile to France.
These are some of the reasons Arroyo stated as why the country might be hesitant to celebrate it as a whole. However, these dark periods of Mexican history are exactly why the state of Puebla does celebrate Cinco de Mayo, because after an era of lying down and being viewed as vulnerable, Mexicans stood up and defeated a world power when many didn't expect them to even defend themselves.
So how did Mexican patriotism jump borders and become such a big deal in the United States?
During that same historical window the United States was enduring its own fight, with itself. The Civil War (1861-1865) was in full stride by the time that Zaragoza and his men defeated the French forces in Southern Mexico. According to the History Channel, when news of the French defeat spread to Union forces, some used it as a rallying cry as they fought the Confederacy. The proximity to the US and the fact that many states were once Mexican territories also contributed. Arroyo presents a more contemporary bridge for the holiday.
The Chicano movement of the 1960s saw many Mexicans, especially in the Los Angeles area, feeling disenfranchised and exploited. Migrant workers who were fighting for voting rights and educational and workplace equality used sit-ins and protests to voice their plight and Cinco de Mayo as a vehicle to share their culture. According to Arroyo, the day also served as a reminder of the David versus Goliath battle that the Mexicans waged against French imperialism, and a vow that they wouldn't give up their own struggle for a just cause.
"Cinco de Mayo became one of the celebrations important to the Chicano movement as one of the ways to show other americans that Mexican Americans have long traditions of loving freedom and being willing to shed their blood to fight for freedom," Arroyo said.
Arroyo, who gave a presentation titled "Why We Celebrate Cinco de Mayo" at CSULB last weekend, says that people are usually surprised at the history surrounding the day. Often viewed as just another special day in the long line of celebrations on the U.S. calendar, it's easy for the meaning of the celebration to be lost in the commercialization of the day. However, despite the loss of translation, the idea of the day is something that is valuable to everyone.

William Grant 'reinterprets' Balvenie Classic for TR
3rd October, 2019 by Melita Kiely
William Grant & Sons has unveiled a trio of travel retail-exclusive Balvenie single malt whiskies as part of its Stories range – including a "reinterpretation" of The Balvenie Classic.
The Balvenie Stories range will be available exclusively in global travel retail from June 2020
The three new whiskies in The Balvenie Stories collection were unveiled at the TFWA World Exhibition & Conference in Cannes, France, on Monday (30 September), and will launch exclusively in global travel retail in June 2020.
The range will comprise of The Creation of the Classic, The Week of Peat and The Second Red Rose.
The Creation of the Classic is a no-age-statement whisky that pays homage to David Stewart MBE, The Balvenie malt master and longest serving malt master in the industry. Stewart created the first cask-finished whisky back in the 1980s with The Balvenie Classic.
The Creation of the Classic has been matured in American oak casks and finished in oloroso Sherry casks. It has an ABV of 43% and will be priced at RRP of £57 (US$70).
"The idea was to bring the Classic back and revisit those flavours," Stewart said about its creation.
The Week of Peat is an "evolution" of the brand's 14-year-old The Balvenie Peat Week, which launched worldwide in 2017.
The latest whisky was inspired by the production break taken by Stewart and former distillery manager Ian Millar once a year, for a week, to add peat to the barley drying process.
Bottled at 49.4% ABV, the whisky is said to balance sweet peat smoke with notes of citrus and honey. It will have an RRP of £115 (US$142).
Completing the collection is The Second Red Rose, which has been aged for 21 years and finished in Shiraz casks.
The whisky was inspired by Mary Douglas, who lived in Balvenie Castle and paid rent to King James II by payment of a single red rose each year. It will have a pink – or "rosy" – tinge due to the influence of the red wine casks.
The ABV is yet to be confirmed, but it will "probably be in the low 50s", according to Stewart. It will be priced at £235 (US$290).
"The Balvenie Distillery is built on stories," said Stewart. "It's what sets us apart and makes our whisky what it is.
"Each expression in the Stories range has a distinct narrative as to how it came to be, and each whisky tells its unique tale in liquid form through first-hand recollections of the many characters involved."
2 Responses to "William Grant 'reinterprets' Balvenie Classic for TR"
Daniel Davis says:
I am curious about the picture of the The Balvenie you have up. The Week of Peat is listed as a 14 year on The Balvenie website. Your picture shows it as a 17. Any idea on the discrepancy?
Nicola Carruthers says:
I believe The Balvenie Week of Peat here is a 17-year-old whisky, created exclusively for travel retail. The original Week of Peat is a 14-year-old bottling.

Jason Momoa Fans Stand Up Against People Body-Shaming The Actor's 'Dad Bod'
Nov 22, 2022 by apost team
Jason Momoa is an actor and filmmaker who has been a prominent figure in the entertainment industry since the late 1990s. He made his acting debut in the action-drama series "Baywatch: Hawaii" in 1999 and stayed on the show until 2001. A few years later, Momoa went on to star in the science fiction series "Stargate: Atlantis." He found even more fame when he was cast as Khal Drogo in the first two seasons of "Game of Thrones" — a show that helped catapult the careers of many of its stars.
Today, the Honolulu native of Hawaiian and Samoan descent is best known for his role as Aquaman in the DC extended universe. A sequel to the first solo Aquaman film, "Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom," is slated for release in 2023. He has already portrayed the hero in a couple of movies and is set to star in more in the upcoming years. Momoa also reached an even higher level of success thanks to the film "Dune." He will also star in the 10th installment of the "Fast & Furious" series called "Fast X," starring alongside Vin Diesel.
While most fans adore Momoa for his great acting chops, they have also come to love the star for his broad and handsome looks. The actor has a very fit physique and has donned long hair for quite some time now. But in early September 2022, Momoa showed off a fresh buzz cut, revealing that his long hair was no more.
Still, Momoa's fans have continued to gush over the actor's looks and have even gone out of their way to call out haters who said he had a "dad bod."

There's no denying that Momoa has a great physique – something that his fans have gushed over for many years. So when the actor appeared on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" in November 2022, fans were more than ecstatic to learn – and see – even more about Momoa.
He talked about the tattoo he got, which he revealed he did for his family. "It represents protection for my family," he said. "I got it the traditional way… For my family. And yes, it's extremely painful. But yeah, I definitely met my ancestors.
Momoa said it took more than two hours to finish the tattooing process but said it felt like he went through it for 24 hours.
In the middle of the interview, Jimmy Kimmel showed a photo of Momoa deep-sea fishing with his butt half-exposed. Momoa then explained that he wore it to prepare himself for his role in an upcoming Apple TV+ historical-drama show called "Chief of Wars."
"That's a traditional Malo. It's what the Hawaiians wear. I'm doing a show. I'm the creator, I'm the writer, the director, and the producer of this Apple series called 'Chief of War' and it's all 1780s 1790s Hawaii. "That's what I wear every day. And I was just getting ready for the role 'cause I like to get into character. So, I was tanning my white a**," he said.
Momoa went on to share that he's liked wearing the Hawaiin malo on everyday occasions so far. "Oh my God yes. I actually don't even like wearing clothes anymore. I mean every day. I wear it all the time," he said.

Momoa was wearing a sleeping outfit topped with a coat he wore in his Netflix movie called "Slumberland." When asked during the show if he was wearing it, Momoa immediately said yes before stripping down in front of Kimmel and the live audience watching the show inside the studio.
Kimmel, seemingly caught by surprise, said, "I've never felt more like Danny DeVito than I do right now."
The audience surely appreciated seeing Momoa on the show, so it's not surprising to learn that they stood up for him when people were criticizing his body. Momoa is a father of two, having welcomed both his son and daughter with his ex, Lisa Bonet, in the late 2000s. But when people started commenting that Momoa had a "dad bod," it didn't seem to be out of kindness.
When the actor was celebrating his 40th birthday in August 2019, photos and videos of him circulated online, resulting in people commenting on his appearance. TMZ asked if Momoa was bothered by people saying he had a "dad bod," to which Momoa replied, "Not at all."
The actor even joked, "I'll show you my dad bod soon."
The month before that, Us Weekly shared photos of Momoa and Bonet vacationing in Venice together, prompting people to comment on how the former looked. It's safe to say that Momoa's fans weren't going to put up with negative comments. One person said, " If that's a "dad bod" I'll take it any day!!!" Another added, "Beautiful body! ❤❤❤"
Another person said:
"That does not look like a dad bod to me. By the way what's wrong with being a dad or having a dad body? Stop body shaming people!!!!"

Before Standing Rock – The Legacy of Resistance Against the Keystone Pipeline
Alex Pietrowski, Staff Writer
At long last, significant attention is being drawn to the corporate and political practices being used to force the Keystone and Keystone XL pipelines on the people of North America. Protests at the Standing Rock Sioux Indian Reservation in North Dakota are being put down by a brutal militarized police force working in service of private corporations, banks, and investors, and the world has been able to watch live streams of the events on social media.
While it is both inspiring and heart-breaking to see what happens when water people peacefully resist the oppression of the corporate state, much of the attention, deservedly so, is on the struggle of the Sioux and their interests in protecting their sacred ancestral lands, their treaty rights to reservation land, and the protection of their water supplies.
What is going under-reported, however, is the fact that the Keystone pipelines jeopardize the land and water rights of millions of people in North America, and that for years this project has been met with resistance by property owners, activists and even celebrities. The struggle we see now at Standing Rock is but another in action in a growing legacy of fighting this project.
"Whether you are aware of it or not, there is a revolution brewing in the backyards of the United States and Canada. The issue is over the development of a colossal pipeline that will deliver 'tar sands crude' bitumen, a form of unrefined shale oil mixed with an undisclosed mixture of chemicals, from the highly contested Alberta, Canada Tar Sands project to oil refinery markets across the Midwestern US and the Gulf Coast of Texas." ~Alex Pietrowski, September 2013
The Legacy of Resistance Builds
Resistance to the Keystone pipeline began as early as 2010, shortly after the multi-billion dollar project was commissioned, and much of the focus until now has been on stopping the Canada-to-Texas Keystone XL pipeline, the fourth stage of the Keystone project, which was to bring tar sands crude from Canada into the U.S. for refining in Houston, TX, and ultimately for export.
First nations in Canada and America have an established history of citizen interventions against the tar sands and Keystone projects, and in 2012, members of the Lakota tribe took direct peaceful action to stop Trans Canada from trespassing on native lands with a convoy of equipment.
"Lakota families refuse to allow passage of a convoy of trucks and equipment servicing the Keystone XL Pipeline. Blocking the highway with non-violent resistance, the determination of the Lakota in rejecting the convoy can be viewed as inspiration to all who oppose the destruction of our environment to temporarily meet energy demands. A temporary victory for sure, but an opportunity to revisit the idea of non-violent resistance and an opportunity to celebrate" [Source]
The following video captured a portion of the confrontation between police and tribal elders:
Along the route residents who refused to sell out have been hit eminent domain land seizures and forced to watch police protect construction crews tearing up forest and wetlands to hastily install pipelines on their land. In 2012, actress Daryl Hannah was arrested while standing in solidarity with then 78-year-old East Texas landowner Eleanor Fairchild as her land was bulldozed, and many smaller actions have taken place with little to no media attention.
The following short film, Line in the Sand, was produced in 2013, capturing the growing movement of resistance to the Keystone project:
In 2015, after years of public outcry, president Obama rejected the Keystone XL, which is only a part of the total Keystone pipeline project, and only time will tell how oil companies and the government will movie forward in pushing this on North Americans.
Now that other portions of Keystone are being challenged as the project moves forward in North Dakota, the corporate state is being forced to reveal its hand in full by cracking down with multiple law enforcement agencies geared up for civil unrest, something which until Standing Rock had not fully materialized. The police state which enforces corporate law over human rights is now coming under intense scrutiny, but as is the nature of oppression, they appear more determined than ever to follow orders and apply as much force as needed to crush the non-violent actions. When will they begin killing people over this?
Media attention on popular struggles that aim to achieve victory by peaceful, non-violent means is exceptionally rare, yet is absolutely critical for resistors to win. The legacy of resistance to this pipeline has been building for years, and this is starting to feel like Mother Nature's last stand. Will our attention shift to something else now, or will even more people unite in protection land and water?
"This is not just about my land, it is about all of our country." ~Eleanor Fairchild

Maggie Gallagher is another reason why we won yesterday in Prop 8 decision
Another reason why the Prop 8 side lost yesterday is demonstrated by the above video which features Maggie Gallagher of the National Organization for Marriage and Evan Wolfson of Freedom to Marry.
Maybe it's just me but Gallagher came across as rude and shrill. She didn't seem to want to answer the questions at hand and at times talked over host Anderson Cooper.
Isn't it a shame that her cohorts couldn't act the same way in court. Maybe they would have gained a little ground.
One more thing - her "waaaaaa, stop calling me a bigot" routine could easily disappeared is someone would ask her about her associations to folks like the Traditional Values Coalition and Louis Marinelli.
Phony disclaimer won't help National Organization for Marriage
National Organization for Marriage needs to address hate in its own ranks
National Organization for Marriage tries to cover up ugly comments with pitiful lies
National Organization for Marriage - gays were never hunted down and murdered like 'Jews, Christians, and blacks'
Message to Maggie Gallagher: associating with bigots does make you a bigot
How George Rekers is connected to the Prop 8 supporters and other Thursday midday news briefs
An incredible breakdown by Rachel Maddow as to how the Prop 8 side is connected with the discredited George Rekers. And this is a point in which I hope to touch upon in my speech at SC Pride on Sept. 4 - just how connected the religious right is to junk science. The Prop 8 decision should be a lesson to us all. In the face of logic, the dubious claims of the religious right always collapses.
Gary Cass on Prop 8 Ruling: What Do You Expect From the Debased Mind of a Pervert? - Well what else can we expect from a man who defends a church which tried to exorcise "a gay demon" out of a child.
Prop 8: Cable news roundup - And for you news junkies is the roundup of cable news reactions to the Prop 8 decision.
Schadenfreude Alert: Liberty Counsel Blames ADF For Prop 8 Decision - Finally, one of the sweetest tastes from the Prop 8 decision - religious right groups attacking each other.
More on Proposition 8's pitiful court defense
Again I reiterate the position that Proposition 8 lost yesterday not because of "activist judges" or because of a "secret plot," but because those defending Proposition 8 blew it. They had the chance to defend the vote and failed miserably. I pulled out a number of pieces which proves my point:
Prop. 8 Supporters: We Don't Need Evidence - this is Judge Vaughn Walker's summary of the evidence by those supporting Proposition 8:
At oral argument on proponents' motion for summary judgment, the court posed to proponents' counsel the assumption that "the state's interest in marriage is procreative" and inquired how permitting same-sex marriage impairs or adversely affects that interest. Counsel replied that the inquiry was "not the legally relevant question," but when pressed for an answer, counsel replied: "Your honor, my answer is: I don't know. I don't know."…
Despite this response, proponents in their trial brief promised to "demonstrate that redefining marriage to encompass same-sex relationships" would effect some twenty-three specific harmful consequences. At trial, however, proponents presented only one witness, David Blankenhorn, to address the government interest in marriage. Blankenhorn's testimony…provided no credible evidence to support any of the claimed adverse effects proponents promised to demonstrate. During closing arguments, proponents again focused on the contention that "responsible procreation is really at the heart of society's interest in regulating marriage." When asked to identify the evidence at trial that supported this contention, proponents' counsel replied, "you don't have to have evidence of this point."
Pro-Prop 8 Witness Laments Reaction - David Blankenhorn, the only pro-Proposition 8 witness has not had a good experience. I do feel sorry for him. His testimony was probably a huge reason why lgbts won yesterday.
Does Miles McPherson want to hide his gay = pedophilia belief from the Proposition 8 trial? - This piece of mine from earlier this year talks about how there could have been other witnesses for Proposition 8. But they chose not to testify.
Maggie Gallagher is another reason why we won yest...

Display Names with LabelFor() – Ability to specify display name on our view models meta data and not have to worry about specifying it in the views.
HTML input with EditorFor() - Ability to simply use EditorFor() in the view and allow MVC to pick the appropriate editor either automatically or by honoring the [UIHint] attribute as part of meta data in our view models.
Validation with ValidationFor() - Ability for the validation to honor DataAnnotations attributes and have this all "baked in" including the actual validation execution itself (including client-side valdiation).
Also, if you're using MVC 2 with ASP.NET 4 instead of ASP.NET 3.5, you can take advantage of the new <%: %> syntax rather than the old <%= %> syntax.
Now the views are extremely simple and with a single HTML helper we'll automatically get a label, an editor, and validation. Also notice that the HTML helper is using MvcHtmlString rather than just a string as all HTML helpers in MVC 2 are now HTML encoded by default.
The snippet above is only showing two view model properties but if your view has 10, 20, or even 100 or more properties, the difference becomes even more dramatic since the code is only one-third the size. Additionally, the trend you see is that more and more of your development paradigm is being moved away from the views and into your C# view models. This allows for dramatically cleaner/simpler views while also enabling the overall code base to be more testable and less error prone.

Where it is necessary to extend existing overhead lines to provide service to Customers, CUC will extend its lines along any public roadway up to one thousand (1000) feet, free of charge. For line extensions greater than one thousand feet, the Customer or developer will be required to meet the full cost of construction beyond such distance. Such contributions in aid of construction are refundable in whole or part as additional Customers are connected to the same line extension.
The amount of the refund per additional Customer depends on the number of years that have elapsed since the construction. After seven years, there are no further rebates. Please contact CUC's Customer Service Department for additional information on rebates.
A contribution will normally be required when a developer or Customer requires CUC to place its high voltage power lines underground and install pad mounted transformers. Such contributions are non-refundable. However, in cases where a Customer or developer requires a large three phase service and CUC determines that the use of a pad mounted transformer is practical a contribution will not be required. In addition, contributions may be required for the provision of small three phase services, non-standard service voltages, additional poles, temporary services and for work to correct non-compliance with CUC's requirements for service connection. These contributions are non-refundable.

I have been creating black and white compositions that deal with visual perception and optical trickery. I seem to be channeling the early 1960's work of painter Bridget Riley (which is a good thing). She is brilliant and I love her early black and white and even color op-art… I then decided to see what happens when I combine two of my compositions in an animated video. I call it A+B because that equals "see".
I spent yesterday photographing at Olde Good Things with some friends, an antique and architectural lot in Scranton, PA. I was browsing through my images today and decided to grab an image of a carved wall and play around in Photoshop for a while in order to really change it and bring parts out… The end product is a bit strange. Some kind of portal or ancient machine.
Just spent the day walking around New York City for the first tiem in over 10 years. We visited the tree, holiday markets, a pizaria, and of course the MOMA (Museum Of Modern Art)… I brought along my dSLR with the idea of making a series of photographs looking up at tall buildings, but without ever looking through the camera. I suppose it was some kind of strange conceptual project. I mean, who goes to NYC with a camera and blindly makes photos of the sky? Me… Here are a few of the images.
Who doesn't love art that you spin! Designed by transforming octagons in Photoshop, printed onto a metal plate, cut out into a circle, and mounted onto the wall for the viewer to spin and watch. I like the idea of art being an interactive thing, and this is one idea that if pushed farther (scale, lighting effects) could really be an interesting find in a standard gallery space.
I am alphabetizing an array of ashes for art… The other day I realized that I did not currently have the budget to finish a project idea that I had begun. See, I am photographing items, burning them, and using their ashes to make photographic prints. This can get pretty costly in materials, so, instead I created a nice spreadsheet that corresponds to these little containers of ashes. Once the budget comes in I will get back to work.
I have recently become obsessed with squares for some reason. I begin in Adobe Photoshop with only a single square and then use very simple procedural methods – copy, paste, rotate, blend, scale – to create final complex compositions. I can already see these printed a few feet large. Here are a few so far.
Interested in the qualities of vintage photographs, Anzeri uses embroidery on top of old found portraits to create almost a surreal-psychological mixed media image. Where the old photographs are soft, the threads are colorful and shiny. They create strange costumes and masks around the figures that also act as auras. I always find and mixing of other media with photography, and this one is very different and successful.
The sunlight reflecting off the early morning frost created a strange sights of little specks of bright hues of color. Reds, and greens, and blues. It was a gorgeous sight, but one that I couldn't really capture with my camera. I tried but the image always lacked the phenomena I was interested in… that is until I made the image unfocused. I think this is art.

Boris Franz Becker, nemški tenisač, * 22. november 1967, Leimen, Nemčija.

Becker je nekdanja številka 1 svetovnega tenisa, šestkratni zmagovalec posamičnih turnirjev za Grand Slam in olimpijski prvak v dvojicah na Poletnih olimpijskih igrah 1992. Trikrat je osvojil Odprto prvenstvo Anglije, dvakrat Odprto prvenstvo Avstralije in enkrat Odprto prvenstvo ZDA. Izmed turnirjev za Grand Slam mu tako ni uspelo osvojiti le Odprtega prvenstva Francije, kjer se je trikrat uvrstil v polfinale. Prvo zmago na Odprtem prvenstvu Anglije je dosegel pri sedemnajstih letih, s čimer je najmlajši zmagovalec vse časov. S sedmimi uvrstitvami v finale istega turnirja je sorekorder z Rogerjem Federerjem in Petom Samprasom. Znana teniška revija Tennis Magazine ga je uvrstila na osemnajsto mesto štiridesetih najboljših tenisačev med letoma 1965 in 2005.

Oktobra 2002 ga je Münchensko okrožno sodišče obsodilo za dvoletno pogojno zaporno kazen zaradi utaje davkov. Leta 2017 je sodišče v Londonu razglasilo njegov osebni stečaj, aprila 2022 pa je bil obsojen za dve in pol letno zaporno kazen zaradi skrivanja osebnega premoženja. Decembra 2022 je bil po sedmih mesecih zaporne kazni izpuščen zaradi prezasedenosti zaporov v Veliki Britaniji in izgnan iz države.

So, we went down to Sydney the other day. And I have to say, travelling with the 2.5 year old is pretty easy. When you have the iCrack.
Yes, my son has his own "phone". Albeit an old iPhone of mine that is now about 4 years old. And I wouldn't travel without it. He has child-friendly volume-limited headphones, and knows how to work it.
I've worked out how to download stuff from our PVR (yes, I love you icetv recorder) onto the phone, so it comes with a ready supply of 2 year old tv addiction: current favourites include a number of Peppa Pig episodes (now the tune is going to be stuck in my head for the rest of the day, AGAIN. After only just writing the title.. Aargh), the old and faithful Play School, a Thomas or two, and a Charlie and Lola. Then there is YouTube, which he watches on a wireless connection, but only things we've "favourited"… But I have to keep an eye on that usage, as one or two inadvertent button presses and hey presto some highly inappropriate content beams straight down to him (and I'm sure we'll get to that at some stage in life, but 2.5 is just too young).
In addition to that, there are some games to play with. Which I have spent all of 1 hour searching for and wanted to have some kind of educational component..
I don't currently have any games that require you to "download" or "purchase" bits and bobs, but have set-up permissions just in case he inadvertently pokes a button to buy "gems" or some other virtual crap (see this handy guide on how to set permissions if you haven't done so already).
Do you have any apps for your iPhone/iPad/Android perfect for toddlers that you'd like to share / recommend?
We went to Sydney. It was great. Too busy doing stuff to actually post anything on the blog.
We saw friends, did a bit of work, saw more friends, ate great cheese, ate great bread, ate great stuff, saw some more friends.
The monkeys were a hit. Baby monkeys playing.
I personally like the chimps. The fact that a school excursion group was throwing a banana or two into the enclosure made them (I suspect) somewhat more active than they might have been at that time of day otherwise… mmm..
It was a very windy day too, so the bird show had an added dimension of, "oh my god, do you think it will really miss my head" to it. We survived!
