#5EUK Top 15 EPs of 2021
This is the fifth year I have been doing my end of year lists. But this is the fourth EP list I have done. When I did my first set of lists in 2016, I only did Songs & Albums. Ever since then I have taken every opportunity to big up EPs and have done EP lists from '17 onwards. And without looking back at how I introduced said EP lists, I can guarantee that I have used the words "underrated" "underappreciated" and/or "overlooked".
And I feel like those terms are worthy because while albums are obviously on a different level, an EP can, in a lot of ways, be so much better for everyone involved.
It can serve as an introduction by an artist, a signal that they're switching things up artistically, an appetiser for a future album. For listeners, it can be a taster for somebody new they've discovered and they're not sure whether they like them or not. There are so many benefits for an EP and I for one fully appreciate the shorter dives into one's artistry.
Okay, my manifesto for how great EPs are aside, let's get into my favourite EPs of 2021. Since this list isn't ranked I'm just going to list these in chronological order, starting with the early '21 drops to the latest.
We begin with some contemporary R&B:
Asiahn - The Interlude
It's been a decent year for Asiahn, dropping this EP in the early weeks of January and ending the year basking in the glow of being the lead for Netflix' children's animated series "Karma's World".
It is the first time spinning Asiahn for me and she pretty much had me at the first song "My World" which is a lush beginning and was an immediate addition to my Regular Rotation. It's interesting because her voice never stops influencing the track. There's no moment when you're not hearing her floating in some capacity.
After that solid beginning, the R&B vibes just keep coming with trap-laced "Gucci Frames" that is offset with strings that back up Asiahn's flowy vocals and confident lyrics. Then comes the most popular track on the EP "Get Away" which adds to the dreamy nature of "My World" with this beautiful harp coming through as Asiahn echoes references to getting away with her significant other. Wonderful vocals to finish that track off.
The EP finishes with "Drunk" & "Messed Up" that pair up nicely with the prior serving as a "here is how I got here" kind of messaging and then the latter wrapping up the EP nicely with a wavy but bassy tune. Clocking at just over 12 minutes, the EP serves as a great R&B snack.
Favourite Track: My World
Kota The Friend - Lyrics To GO, Vol. 2
Kota has also had an eventful year, but for the wrong reasons.
I'd like to still talk about this project, however, so I will just go ahead and do so. Because somehow, Kota has this great ability to paint great pictures in such a short amount of time. I put Vol. 1 on my 2020 edition of this list and it's more of the same here. Short, musical vignettes of Kota meditating on himself, the environment around him and what he's been up to on day-to-day.
At 10 songs and just over 15 minutes, every track is a wonderful ChillHop beat that Kota can't fail on. Some highlights for me are the first two tracks "Clinton Hill" & Luke Cage" which really succeed in that picture painting I mentioned. And funny enough, the last two tracks come right behind the first two in my highlights. With "Pomegranate" having these beautiful keys throughout and "Flowers" which has Kota talking about not judging other people for wanting more for themselves amongst other great two-liners.
EPs like these are just incredibly rare to hear but here's Kota going 2 for 2 on a series that packs in so much in so little time.
Favourite Track: Flowers
Erick The Architect - Future Proof
Credit to Co-Host of 5EPN Original "In Search Of Sauce" Miki for putting me onto this EP. Around the time of release, the same week as Kota in fact, Miki wrote for Notion, interviewing Erick The Architect and really added to my enjoyment of this EP.
The main thing I feel needs highlighting with this EP is the amount of collaboration for this five-track, 17-minute project. Six artists not named Erick The Architect are on here which is fascinating for one reason. Unless the artist of note is a producer, (Erick is one as a member of Flatbush Zombies but isn't one primarily for this.) you rarely get an EP with a ton of features. The only other '21 EP I can think of with those parameters is Lucky Daye's "Table For Two".
That observation aside, Erick The Architect is great on here. With Linden Jay having a big hand in the production, this is one of the most cohesive projects of the year. "Let it Go" with Loyle Carner & FARR is an unflinching and transparent look at grief, notably the line about cremating his mother last year and being honest saying that this song won't heal.
"Die 4 U" continues with the sombre feeling of the project, with a beautiful hook by Sophie Faith. One of those hooks that I feel like I've heard before, feels familiar.
The project is honest, real and if you're coming into this as a Flatbush Zombies fan, prepare for a departure from what you normally get.
Favourite Track: Die 4 U
Lava La Rue - Butter-Fly
I think we all should have artists like Lava La Rue in our personal rotations. Those artists that, when they drop, you know you're going to get something that will challenge your tastes in some form. La Rue constantly evolves with every project and after a few solid projects, she's finally got my full attention and not just "I'll spin and we'll see".
"Butter-Fly" has two of my favourite songs of this year. "Magpie" getting the official nod on my Songs list (Peep here for my words on that.) and "Angel" which is just a banging synth-pop jam. It's probably a perfect example of what Lava La Rue provides, some flowy bars to start off but then some buttery vocals as the song explodes with colour. A vibe that I only get with Tame Impala.
Then comes "Goofy Hearts Club" with this drowsy, abstract beat. Then "G.O.Y.D." that I could definitely see being played on an episode of "Insecure". Her rapping speeds are displayed wonderfully here if you're wondering what she can do on the rapping front. The EP then finishes with "Lift You Up" which just adds to my personal Tame Impala comparisons with the hook from Karma Kid. I love the lyrics on this one, building her own world, Lavatown and using that to stand tall amongst everything in our world that constantly attempts to put the likes of La Rue down.
20 minutes of blissful wonder I would describe this EP, from an artist that creates escapist landscapes with ease.
Favourite Track: Magpie
Laura Mvula - 1/f
2021 had the triumphant return of Laura Mvula after a five-year hiatus from music. And man, was it a return and a half. I came into this not knowing what she planned. When I saw that this EP held a fresh take on some of her most popular songs, I was coloured intrigued.
And fam... Anyone that expected this either had a hand in it or they're lying. Four tracks of 80s inspired musical bliss. To this day I remember the first time I heard that new "Sing To The Moon". It is by far one of my favourite tracks of 2021. But it doesn't stop there! "Show Me Love" is an outstanding love ballad that is begging to be soundtracking a teenage romance film.
"Green Garden" is too short. This track deserves more. It deserves a Donna Summer level 10-minute mix so DJs can just go ham with it. The guitars on this one are absurdly clean. And then we finish with "I'm Still Waiting" which just reaffirms Mvula's status as one of the UK's best songwriters. It's probably the closest to Mvula's former sound but doesn't worry, it's got synths aplenty.
If it isn't clear already, I love this EP to death.
Favourite Track: Sing To The Moon (1/f Version)
NappyHigh - Yellow
Friend of 5E NappyHigh continues to not miss. At this point he needs to be challenged to miss because every time he drops, I immediately put it on my shortlist, fully expecting it to be there when all is said and done.
"Yellow", the spiritual sequel to "Orange", begins with what I consider the greatest song under 25 seconds. I dare you to find another song under 25 seconds as great as "Yellow Intro". How can something so short be so good?!
And the consistency just stays high on this. "ILY" continues NappyHigh & Devin Morrison's hot streak as a collaboration. It's a mean one-two punch that introduces a summery jam from start to finish. The retro samples & overall nature of this EP seems fitting with the clean whip on the artwork for this.
A quick verse from Blu in the middle on "She Was Yellow" over one of NappyHigh's best beats so far, frequent collaborator Memnoc on the first half of "Drop Top MG / Coastin'" and creamy instrumentals sprinkled throughout. You simply cannot beat a vibe like this EP. And one thing I have gleaned from this EP and "Orange" is how NappyHigh can have two tracks in one and for it to just work. They always bleed seamlessly.
One to just press play and vibe out, simple.
Favourite Track: LetGo / OneForMe
Blue Lab Beats - We Will Rise
Before this year there were a few times I spun Blue Lab Beats and was rating what they had going. But for some reason, I never felt the urge to really dive into their stuff. It was all set up for someone like me. This duo smashes Jazz, Hip-Hop and many other flavours to create a sound that is uniquely them. Once you hear a Blue Lab beat(s), you know exactly what they're going for.
Enter "We Will Rise" which dropped a couple of days after my birthday and now I'm in it. I'm ALL, the way in it.
I'm so far in it, that I think next to Inflo, these two are the best UK producers in the game right now. I could highlight the people they have been working with outside of this (Shouts to Angelique Kidjo for blessing these guys with a Grammy nom!) but let me stick to this project.
You start with "Blow You Away (Delilah)" where Ghetto Boy floats over this silky smooth Afrobeat. I'm not even into Afrobeat but when I first heard this I slapped it into my Regular Rotation.
Then we got "Nights In Havana" which is classic BLB. A steady beat throughout and then throwing in clean riddims above it. A personal favourite is the keys in the middle. Then the title track which is probably the most "Jazz" out of the bunch but it's got some funk to it. And then the EP caps off with Kojey Radical just giving his unmistakable voice to "Tempting (Dance 2).
Just try and spin this and not bop to it in some capacity.
Favourite Track: Blow You Away (Delilah)
Isatta Sheriff - A Kind of Biography
The most fulfilling moments of my music journey are the moments where I catch something in a random search for artists I haven't spun before.
I forget specifically how I found Isatta Sheriff but I'm so glad I did because it's projects like this that bring me back to the centre of why I enjoy Hip-Hop. Sometimes, all you need is a beat and a pen. "A Kind of Biography" comes and goes like a whistle-stop tour. "Eerie Alleys" confirms the essence for me, "do it out of passion," she says on the hook, the beat having this sax in the background, giving it a deep aura.
But then "Ode to the Heads" brings the energy up a little. Sheriff's flow is impeccable here with more lyrics on her artistic philosophy and great one-liners that, when you finish the EP, you actually gain a ton of what Isatta is about if you were like me and never spun her before this.
The EP concludes with the title track that screams nostalgia. It took me a second to pinpoint how that string of nostalgia flows through. It's the samples. A couple of voices, the 'bing bong' of the tube stopping at Whitechapel. You really get a snapshot of her world through her eyes here. I guess the title is 'kind of' fitting.
Favourite Track: Ode to the Heads
Tkay Maidza - Last Year Was Weird, Vol. 3
Tkay Maidza continues to shine and consistently put out versatile work through her "LYWW" series. Vol. 2 was my formal introduction to Tkay and I was ready for more.
Vol. 3 does not disappoint. All eight tracks do something different, they evoke different feelings and the quality never dips. This is impressive since "Eden" is one of my Songs of '21. "Onto Me" feels like a throwback R&B track. "Syrup" is straight from the "Missy Elliott school of music". "Kim" with Yung Baby Tate continues the bad B energy but with more contemporary elements.
"Cashmere" slows everything down and gives a more vulnerable side to Tkay, along with "breathe" that links to "Eden" and caps off the EP with a floaty number. Overall, another outstanding EP from an artist whose level is so high right now. And that fact is scary because this is only the beginning for her.
Favourite Track: Eden
ENNY - Under Twenty Five
This was an EP I was very much looking forward to prior to release. I gained awareness of ENNY around the same time most people did when she dropped "Peng Black Girls" with Amia Brave. The track was a beautiful love letter to all shades of black women. The beat has a solid rhythm to it but it's ENNY's bars on here that make the song what it is.
And that's what this entire project is in a nutshell. ENNY is a rapper through and through. She shoots straight and if you're a black woman in the UK, you can probably see yourself in a lot of these tunes. "Same Old" is the other popular single off this EP but it's the deeper cuts that really impress me personally.
"I Want" is so superb. ENNY floats lyrically on this lowkey dance banger and the subject matter is simple to grab hold of and shout to the rooftops. "Under 25" is a little more personal to ENNY but it's once again very easy to find a relation to it, especially in the back half of the track.
Overall, "Under Twenty Five" is a breath of fresh air. Breezy beats, great lyrics and refreshing to see someone go about it in a different way from the status quo.
Favourite Track: I Want
The Compozers - The Experience
Now as I write this, I just recently came off seeing The Compozers live, but I had this EP on my list anyway, I just wanted to tell you I had fun.
Now as for this project. These guys come in with a superb meal of a four-piece band delivering contemporary sounds with live instrumentation. And as is the case with many of these EPs, the first track sets a tone. "It's Time" with Kojey Radical drops heat as the instrumentation stays dormant for half the track until a clean beat comes in. "The Experience - Find A Way" continues this live Hip-Hop essence with Keys The Prince and Afronaut Zu hopping on this one. It's extravagant and high class.
But then the EP bleeds into a mixture of lush, flexy R&B and Afrobeat. The most popular being "Problem" with Mr Eazi and the final track "Better" with Vicky Tola really sticking out from the rest as a straight-up R&B throwback.
It's very clear from this near 30-minute EP that these guys can cover a lot of ground artistically and I for one hope more artists ask for their services because these guys got a genuinely fresh sound.
Favourite Track: The Experience - Find A Way
Emmavie - What's A Diamond To A Baby
Start spreading the news, Emmavie has got a tune for you. That's a reference to "Tune" which is one of many bops that "What's a Diamond To A Baby" holds. The entire EP is a fascinating mix of contemporary and throwback. Similar to someone like Ari Lennox, Emmavie really succeeds here in blending elements from recent eras. Take a track like "Avalanche" that has contemporary production but Emmavie's performance and hook give me throwback vibes.
Or an even better example, "2003" which feels so 2003 it's crazy. But it's not a parody in any sense, she keeps a balance that makes the song sound like it could be from both '03 or '21. It's very impressive how the project blends.
Then the features from Kojey Radical (Again!) and Phonte to name a couple, everyone provides a nice spice to the tracklist but at the end of the day, it's all Emmavie with a wonderful voice, tracks that are begging to be sung live (Uh Huh Okay is a MUST.) and some great UK R&B that also, somehow, echoes the past without getting too drunk off nostalgia.
Favourite Track: Tune
Sainte - Local Mvp
The discovery of Sainte has been one of my favourites this year. Versatile style with the flow of a Drill/UK Rapper on some of the smoothest beats of 2021.
With just four tracks you know exactly what Sainte is about. Some flex bars, some relationship bars, the usual stuff. That may not sound appealing but sometimes all it takes is confidence and rock-solid flow and Sainte has those two in spades. Take "Stylin'" for example. The way this goes makes me want to live life in perpetual slow motion. It's calm, it's confident.
And "Hunnids" continues that essence, maybe better than "Stylin'" when I think about it. The hooks on these tracks are straight earworms as well. Sainte might just pull up with a little croon like on "On Me" but it fits like a glove.
The way Sainte goes over these simple, breezy beats is so fascinating. I remember when I first listened to this EP. I came out of it thinking "how has nobody else thought about this kind of rapping with this kind of production?!". The EP is only 9 minutes but boy does it make an impression.
Favourite Track: Hunnids
Venna - VENOLOGY
Saxophone-centric ChillHop beats?! Umm, yes, please. Where and how can I inject this into my veins?
Grammy Award-winning Venna comes in with the penultimate EP on the list. An EP that is so up-my-alley it's silly. The beats are dynamic and aquatic. Tracks like the single "Standard" with Knucks is just a heater. I've been pretty lukewarm with Knucks' work but the way he just goes on this track, and then the saxophone coming at the end of the track?! Chef's frigging kiss.
"Aroma" & "Avenue B" feel like they should be on a ChillHop Essentials compilation album. This is my type of music right here. Then you have "Sun, Moon & Herbs" where JVCK JAMES just crooning with the Sax following him wherever he goes. Just beautiful. "The Last Poets" could be seen as a straight Jazz affair with the Sax & Drums just going blow for blow with a bass in the middle, creating this melting pot of Jazz goodness for the soul.
This was the most pleasant surprise of the year. I saw Venna's name a couple of times in the past year but it wasn't until this EP that I began to pay attention and boy am I glad I spun this.
Favourite Track - Standard
Alewya - Panther In Mode
The 15th and final entry into my EP list came right at the death. I was days into building my shortlist, already making my final picks, but here comes Egyptian/Ethiopian Londoner Alewya with "Panther In Mode", an EP that gripped me by the throat with how ethereal it is.
With a hand in production on every track apart from "Play", Alewya knows exactly what she wants to do with this EP. And that is to give you these deep rhythms and lyrical content that give a form of Afro-futuristic worldbuilding. As she brings in tracks like "Ethiopia", lyrics like "Oh Zebdew kebru-lenya / I come through in it, I'm done ya / Oh I feel like a warrior" and then lace that with some production help from the legendary SHY FX & AG. It's just an arresting listen.
And then Afro-dance banger "Zuggy" which I'm very ready to peep live. Then "Spirit_X" which really leans into the Afro-futurist angle. If she said that she read Octavia Butler novels while creating this one, I wouldn't be surprised. It's an outstanding soundstage.
This EP is an absolute force by an artist with a superb sound and I can't wait to see where Alewya goes next.
Favourite Track: Spirit_X
And that, ladies & gentlemen, are my Top 15 EPs of 2021. I will throw some honourable mentions below because boy there were some great EPs that I had to leave out. Remember, if you have a spare 10, 20, 30 minutes, give some of these a spin! Widen your net and support good art.

Переулок Нины Зубковой — переулок во Владикавказе, Северная Осетия, Россия. Переулок располагается в Промышленном муниципальном округе Владикавказа между улицами Чкалова и Олега Кошевого. Начинается от улицы Олега Кошевого.

История
Переулок назван именем комсомолки Нины Аполлоновны Зубковой, которая участвовала в организации комсомольской организации во Владикавказе.

Переулок сформировался в первой половине XX века. 3 апреля 1951 года Исполком Промышленного района присвоил переулку, который располагался в пределах кварталов 203 и 419 и выходил на улицу Олега Кошевого с северной стороны и с южной стороны — на улицу Чкалова, наименование «Новый переулок».

27 августа 1959 года Орджоникидзевский горсовет в связи с наличием двух одноимённых улицы Новой и переулка Нового, переименовал Новый переулок в «Юный переулок».

12 ноября 1959 года Юный переулок был переименован в «Предлесный переулок».

21 апреля 1966 года Предлесный переулок был переименован в «Переулок Нины Зубковой».

Home VENUES Edinburgh Airport Installs Europe's Largest LED Check-in Display
Edinburgh Airport Installs Europe's Largest LED Check-in Display
Photo: Emma Gray Photography
Edinburgh Airports Limited (EAL), based in Scotland's capital city, has recently undergone the first stages of a long-term modernisation plan of Edinburgh Airport, beginning with the development of the check-in facility to enable self-check ins. The traditional check in desks have been replaced with an incredible 85m LED wall, designed to ensure wayfinding, flight information and marketing visuals for all travellers, especially those using the new self-service check in systems. The wall runs the full length of the new baggage carousel, which stretches the full length of the hall.
The teams behind the ambitious project wanted to create a flexible display solution to fulfil the needs of the travellers throughout the airport, whether that be for wayfinding or flight information. Integrator nuVIDEO worked extensively with distributor Midwich and PSCo to find a solution that could fulfil the requirements for millions of travellers.
"One of the critical considerations in the design of the new check-in facility was to ensure that flight information, wayfinding and emergency information systems would enable passengers to quickly and safely navigate their route through the check-in hall. This was particularly important given the introduction of multiple new self-service check in systems," said Michael Macneil, Sales Manager nuVIDEO.
EAL's initial brief, created with a CGI visualisation, outlined the concept of 59 by 65 inch landscape displays, fitted to the full length of the baggage carousel and positioned so they are visible to all passengers in the hall.
"The initial brief was centred around LCD technology and direct PC input to each monitor. This would have been functional, but it was clear LED would be a more suitable platform," said Graham Pow, head of sales, PSCo.
The merits of LED were demonstrated to the project's stakeholders with a mock-up at Innovation House – Midwich Group's southern showroom and warehousing facility in Bracknell, back in August 2019.
"It was all about identifying the right technical tool and vendor technology for the project and using the in-house technical expertise at Innovation House to produce a digital signage and image processing solution to sit behind the LED wall," said Manesh Mistry, high-end display and videowall processing sales specialist, Midwich.
"We then demonstrated the potential return on investment leveraging the flexibility of LED could achieve, using the space not only for way finding and flight information, but also for marketing – an avenue they had not considered," Macneil added.
Integrator nuVIDEO worked closely with the airport's commercial team to examine how the LED asset could be used as both an information focussed and promotional display while still offering longevity and low maintenance.
With LED now as the chosen asset, the brief developed from individual monitors to a seamless, LED canvas with flexibility on how, when and where content was displayed. The LED wall also developed into a far more modernised, spectacular view for those entering the terminal, something for passengers to remember for years to come.
When it came to choosing which LED solution could fulfil all of these requirements, as well as occupy the space above the baggage carousel with the limited ceiling height, the team chose Absen. The A27 2.5mm LED panels from Absen's Acclaim series suited the job perfectly.
The Acclaim series has been designed with a fast paced, busy environment in mind. With its high brightness, colour uniformity and flexible configuration, the Acclaim series is sure to stand out from the crowd and draw the attention of the millions of passengers as they pass through the airport. With Absen's CrystalView Technology, the Acclaim series can maintain complete detail and high contrast ratio and achieve high greyscale even at low brightness levels, thanks to use of a premium chip in the installation. It's easily installed and maintained, as it has been designed with the magnetic front service tool which easily removes modules from the frame.
Throughout the installation, there were logistical and physical demands on the team. Every item included in the build had to be brought in manually via the airport screen systems, while staff passed through security to access or leave the site. The team opted to do the work in stages, with each part of the installation split into work phases and equipment stored offsite until needed.
"The videowall was being mounted on to a preconstructed plywood wall, immediately above a baggage carousel which was being constructed and tested throughout the installation. This required meticulous planning and co-ordination with a number of other trades and contractors throughout," said Macneil. "As the wall itself was over 85m it was almost impossible for the building contractor to keep it dead straight which presented considerable challenges when attempting to align every frame and LED panel."
A total of 140 prefabricated frames, provided by PSCo, were mounted on to the surface of the wall and aligned end to end, with each vertical frame consisting of four Absen cabinets, slotted into the frames and interconnected. The canvas comprised 560 Absen A2725 Plus cabinets, amounting to 2,240 LED panels.
"Edinburgh Airport is a standout project that clearly demonstrates the benefits of LED. With 118 sqm of digital real estate, the Absen LED wall delivers a flexible and highly impactful visual solution in an environment that sees consistently high footfall with extended dwell times. The A27 panels from Absen's Acclaim series is our flagship LED solution for fixed installations offering outstanding image quality and a seamless display with front install and service", said Alex Couzins, head of brand and marketing, Absen Europe.
The redevelopment project's success lies in its ability to harness the power of technology to help achieve the airport's vision of creating a multi-airline self-bag drop facility that enhances the airport experience for passengers by reducing bag drop times, informing customers of new check in processes and providing pertinent information regarding their journey.
This has been particularly crucial in enabling Edinburgh Airport to operate safely throughout the coronavirus pandemic, engaging with customers on a scale previously not possible, to deliver clear and concise information on new procedures and local restrictions.
Adam Wilson, operations director, EAL, concluded: "The installation creates a striking visual for all passengers entering the check-in hall. In practical terms, we can clearly display where certain flights and airlines are checking in and show key passenger communications such as security information. The flexibility of the wall means we can also use it for video to showcase destinations we fly to, Scotland or our retail offering."

Q: Enclosed is a sketch of our existing bathroom. We would like to do some remodeling of our existing bathroom (a sketch is enclosed), but don't want to get involved with moving a lot of plumbing because we're trying to keep the cost down. However, there is an unfinished basement below where the plumbing is accessible for minor changes.
Can you help with any suggestions? Something really must be done.
A: From your sketch I can understand why you find your existing bathroom unworkable. It must be virtually impossible to put on makeup or shave because there's no place to put anything down.
Realizing that you want to change as little plumbing as possible, many dramatically different options are not feasible. However, after analyzing your floor plan, there is one idea that I think would not only work well, but also be very attractive.
The main objective is to create a sink and counter top area, hopefully relieving some of that cramped feeling.
Remove the linen closet and move the tub two feet to occupy that space. The existing plumbing can be utilized. It would be a matter of extending the drain pipe and water feeds, which should not be at all a major job. In fact, it involves very little from a plumbing standpoint.
Everything else in the room would remain where it is.
This will now give you two extra feet at the head of the tub. Remove the existing sink and build a counter with a drop-in sink that extends from the shower wall to the window wall. You'll now have 60 inches of usable space instead of a 24-inch wall-hung sink.
I would build the counter top and the face of the counter (which also houses the new faucet and handles) with the tile you've selected for the rest of the bathroom. I would also use it around the tub area. This will give you a unified, more expansive appearance, by making one area flow into another.
Regardless of the overall counter height you select, this will leave space underneath for shelves that can hold towels and other things that were previously kept in the linen closet. The pipes from the sink will be hidden by the 12-inch tile facing. I would not suggest closing in the entire lower portion of the sink area as it would be too massive and heavy.
If you feel you need extra storage for things you prefer not to be visible, consider installing a medicine cabinet next to the sink in the shower wall. Choosing that wall for the medicine cabinet will leave space for a solid mirror installed above the entire length of the sink-counter top, thus creating a feeling of expanded space and offsetting the cramped feeling.
A strip of makeup lights in a soffit above the mirror would provide good lighting. Recessed lights may tend to enclose the space more than the strip of lights would.
The end of the counter area, close to the window and above the tub, would be an excellent place for some decorative plants, adding softness and color.
The counter top would be approximately 24 inches wide, 60 inches long and 12 inches deep. You suggested the possibility of blocking off the unused door next to the shower. I do think you could gain a lot by doing that. I would sheet rock the outside wall but leave the recess. You could mirror the back of the 30-inch opening and install glass shelves which could be used for display and toiletries. The mirror would also reflect the light from the window, thus brightening that side of the room.
The shelves could probably extend into the room a few inches to increase their overall depth without interfering with the shower. The edges of the protruding glass could be rounded, angled and polished. It would be very decorative and functional — a vast improvement over an unused door. In a small area, every effort should be made to redesign any unused space.
The primary solution to your problem bathroom is a rather unusual layout, but one that I feel works aesthetically as well as practically. I would be interested in hearing your reaction, and I do hope some of these suggestions have been of help to you.

Q: Call JQuery function in JavaScript function I got this JQuery code:
file: code.js
 jQuery(function(){

        function renderSVG(){
            //Something
        };
 });

File: index.html
<script>
      function mostrarOdonto() {
          renderSVG();
      };
</script>

But i got a problem here:
http://i.gyazo.com/9550a64fc16c7570107706fb2162d84f.png in renderSVG() inside mostrarOdonto()
"Uncaught ReferenceError: renderSvg is not defined"
I tried $renderSVG(); but doesnot work. Anyone can help me?
Thanks so much!
PD: Sorry bad english

A: That is caused by javascript closures.  It is local within the jQuery call and not accessible outside.  You can read more about it here: MDN Documentation
You can declare objects outside of the jQuery function call to have it available globally. i.e.:
function RenderSVG(){
 //Do Stuff
}

jQuery(function(){
   RenderSVG();
});

This ensures that it is accessible outside the jquery scope
or if you really need it within jQuery you can go the route of a jQuery Plugin a la: jQuery docs
Example:
(function( $ ) {
    $.fn.renderSVG = function( options ) {
       //Do Stuff with canvas since it would be referenced in this.
    };
}( jQuery ));

Then you can call it like: $('#mycanvas').renderSVG({/*options*/});
Update 1:
You have to ensure when your code is called after loading jQuery and any plugins.
in your <head> tag
you should put <script src=".../jquery.min.js"> or whatever your file for jquery is called
followed by any plugin scripts ...src="jquery.svg.js", then you put your code:
<script>
   function RenderSVG(){
   }

   //And most important is that you call it after it is ready. In this example
   //I use jQuery(window).load you can also use jQuery(document).ready
   jQuery(window).load(function(){
      RenderSVG();
   });
</script>

if it still doesn't work you have to ensure the library for the svg methods aren't doing something weird.  To be sure we would have to know the library you are using.

A: The function renderSVG() is a local function,since it is inside jQuery(function(){ }. It is valid only in that scope , So it is not accessible via other scopes. So try it like this.
<script>
      jQuery(function(){
         function mostrarOdonto() {
             renderSVG();
         };
      };
</script>

A: You can Do it in this way JSFIDDLE LINK
HTML:
 <input type="button" value="go" onclick=" mostrarOdonto();">

Scripts:
 $.renderSVG = function() {
  alert("I am calling form jquery");
 };

 $(document).ready(function() {
  alert("function is ready to use now");
 });

 function mostrarOdonto() {
      $.renderSVG();
  };

This should work as per your requirement. The Jquery part can go into your Code.js file.

A: I think could help you it's simple and straight forward
$(document).ready(function() {
 mostrarOdonto();

});

 function renderSVG() {
    alert("Testing purpose only");
};

function mostrarOdonto() {
    renderSVG();
};

We are sincerely thankful for her reaching out in this way.
So many men refuse to believe that these stolen photos were simply used by scammers – many actually believe they are either in love with the real Corin Riggs or that she personally is scamming them from Ghana or wherever. We have said it many times, U.S. adult stars do not live in Ghana or West Africa. Their photos are stolen, and they are victims too of identity theft. They are being impersonated for the sole purpose of defrauding you and other men of your money, breaking your hearts and lives in the process.
Our thanks to Corin Riggs for her message.
We know this is a sensitive issue for Corin Riggs and her family, however posting photos in this way allows them to be found more easily in Google image searches and helps poison them for use by scammers.
Just went through an interesting scam Gentleman through messaging talking and even phoning every day telling me how much he loved me Had to go to Vancouver BC then all of a sudden to Cypress but will be back in 2 weeks and be with me. Needed me to send him my scarf with my perfume on it and a separate piece with my lipstick on it also he wanted me to buy him a fit bit the most expensive one I said no and he persisted and I continued to say no and he got quite angry and told me he did not want to talk to me anymore and I have not heard from him again. New type of scamming wanting expensive items being sent to them To a mailbox address also.
Was the mailbox address in the U.S. or Canada? If so, you should report it to your local police because it may be a MULE working for the scammer to forward those items.


Every year, the SEMA show, held in Las Vegas, Nevada, brings out the latest and coolest parts in the automotive aftermarket. Unfortunately, it's nearly impossible to walk the entire show during the week and sift through every new product, but let's face it, you don't have to! More than half of the parts and companies showing are not 4x4-related. You really need to know what you are looking at sometimes and find ways to apply it to our industry. This year, I'll do the legwork for you and give you my sneak peak of what I think are some of the coolest new components. Here is what I saw on day 1 of the 2013 SEMA show. Come back tomorrow and check out the terrible SEMA build trends I wish would die!

The squeeze bore, multiple projectile cartridge system concept was developed by Russel Robinson in 1961 although the patent was only granted in 1969. This was called the Salvo Squeeze Bore system and was different from Project Salvo, which was run by the US Army. The principle sees the barrel taper towards the muzzle that would separate the projectiles, thereby creating a spread of bullets increasing firepower. Tests done with the M2 Browning on .50/30 calibre and a rate of fire of 500 rounds per minute multiplied that to 2,500 round per minute. A number of calibers were developed by Robinson and Colt, including .50/30, 7.62/.22 and 9mm/30 as well as .45/38 and 5.56mm. the bullets were encased in a polymer 'sabot' to ensure reliable feeding and the weapons had the front portion of the barrel removed and replaced by a smooth bore tapered section. Extensive tests were done with the .50/30 calibre on the M2 Browning in Vietnam, but with the war drawing to a close in the early 1970's, the Army lost interest in the project as the need for such a weapon system were no longer required. The squeeze bore concept was also considered for the Colt M1971 which was a double stack, 15 shot 9mm or 38 Super and a 9-shot 45 ACP with the idea to incorporate this into the SSB project, thereby giving the shooter a 45-shot handgun. There was at that stage no interest, so the project was shelved. The M1971 concept was resurrected briefly as the Colt Stainless Steel Pistol (SSP), but during trials lost out to the Beretta M92. Israel expressed interest in the project at some stage, hence the existence of Israeli headstamps, but the SSB idea seemed to suffer a quiet death, and nothing further came from the project.

Senate Republicans Call on Gov. Murphy & Senate President Scutari to Halt Implementation of New Sex Ed Curriculum Standards, Hold Public Hearings
April 11, 2022 Contact: Brad Schnure / (609) 847-3600
The Senate Republican leadership team called on Governor Phil Murphy and Senate President Nicholas Scutari to halt the implementation of New Jersey's controversial new sex education standards and to hold public hearings on curriculum changes to empower parents who feel ignored.

The senators made the requests in separate letters to Murphy and Scutari as the public uproar continues to grow as more parents learn the extreme nature of the lessons that would be taught to children as young as first and second grade.
The full text of the letter to Governor Murphy (click here for PDF):
Dear Governor Murphy,
We have heard from a rapidly growing number of parents who are extremely concerned after learning about changes to state curriculum standards related to sex education that they believe are inappropriate for their children or in conflict with their values.
As you are likely aware, the New Jersey State Board of Education adopted the revised New Jersey Student Learning Standards for Comprehensive Health and Physical Education in 2020, when most people were focused on navigating the many day-to-day impacts of the pandemic.
In fact, when the State Board adopted the new standards on June 3, 2020, more than 1 million New Jerseyans were contending with unemployment as a result of your executive orders and mandates, and the parents of 1.4 million children were juggling their new roles as homeschool teachers with all of their other work and responsibilities.
It's no surprise, then, that parents were completely unaware of these changes or the impact they would have in classrooms until local school districts started sharing resources recently to demonstrate how topics such as sexual activity, masturbation, and gender may be discussed with children at various grade levels to comply with the new curriculum standards.
Put simply, parents are telling us they do not understand how standards they view as extreme and age-inappropriate were adopted by an unelected, politically-appointed board, and they are outraged at how your administration is implementing them through the New Jersey Department of Education.
We urge you to listen to the concerns of New Jersey parents and immediately suspend the implementation of the new sex ed standards.
The process for adopting controversial curriculum changes such as these should be more open and transparent, and it should be done through the Legislature in a manner that is well-publicized.
We should empower parents, not ignore them.

The full text of the letter to Senate President Scutari (click here for PDF):
Dear Senate President Scutari,
As you are likely aware, the revised New Jersey Student Learning Standards for Comprehensive Health and Physical Education were adopted by the New Jersey State Board of Education in 2020, and laws addressing diversity and inclusion curriculum requirements were enacted in 2019 and 2021.
The parents who are contacting us were unaware of these changes or the impact they would have in classrooms until local school districts started sharing resources recently to demonstrate how topics such as sexual activity, masturbation, and gender may be discussed with children at various grade levels to comply with the new curriculum standards.
They have serious questions about the appropriateness of these new requirements, including, for example, that first and second grade children be taught about gender expression and identity.
There is a clear frustration and anger being expressed by parents who do not understand how standards they view as extreme and age-inappropriate were adopted, and they don't feel like they ever had a real opportunity to have their voices heard.
Given these extremely serious concerns, we believe the Legislature should convene a special session to suspend these controversial curriculum standards from being implemented.
Further, we believe the Legislature should publicize and hold public hearings to give parents the forum they desire to discuss their various curriculum concerns, including both content and the process for adopting and implementing changes. We should empower parents, not ignore them.
The Legislature has a responsibility as a co-equal branch of government to intervene when a legitimate policy concern of such importance as the education of our children has been raised by so many people.
We should not hesitate to be the model for open, transparent, and responsive government that New Jersey parents deserve.

An Acute Bout of Self Myofascial Release Increases Range of Motion Without a Subsequent Decrease in Muscle Activation or Force.
This research article on self myofascial release, specifically on the use of foam rollers, is one of the first to study the effectiveness of foam rollers on ROM and strength. Many therapists and strength coaches use foam rollers in their daily treatments or workouts but little evidence has proven its effectiveness. This study had a small sample size (11) but did show increases in ROM at 2 mins and 10 mins following foam rolling. At 2 mins flexibility was increased by 12.7% and at 10 mins flexibility was increased by 10.3%. Additionally, foam rolling did not decrease voluntary muscle activation. This is important to note because static stretching and massage have been shown to decrease force production.
Obviously there needs to be more studies with larger sample sizes but this begins to give some credibility to foam rolling. Many trainers and therapists swear by foam rolling for multiple different reasons and now there is some evidence behind it.

XCharge can now offer 360 kW charging power
CCSCHAdeMOCharging StationsDCHPCStartupXCharge
The Chinese supplier XCharge presents its new Satellite HPC C9LQ charging station, which now offers up to 360 kW charging power thanks to liquid cooling.
Now in its second series with the C9LQ, the new feature of the C9 system is the liquid cooling feature that allows for greater charging outputs and greater flexibility with simultaneous charging.
The company touts increased flexibility as the key to the Satellite HPC C9LQ as a PowerBOX home base can combine up to 3 high-capacity satellites that have an AC-DC module design for 400v and 800v vehicles. XCharge seems to be able to cover all options with power module cassettes adjustable with 180kW and 360kW configurations.
The new HPC system has connections for CCS and CHAdeMO and includes a 15-inch touch screen. For compatibility with the German calibration law, XCharge is planning to implement a DC current meter.
In January last year, the company announced their plans to enter the European market with 240 kW fast-charging stations. The Chinese startup was only founded in 2015 but has already made waves in the Chinese city of Shenzhen where XCharge claims an average of 11.3 EVs are charged per station and day. At the beginning of the year, XCharge had 20,000 charging stations in operation.

Fiber isn't the most exciting topic. In fact, it's probably one the last things you want to think about during your busy days. But getting enough fiber is crucial for your overall health.
Fiber does this and so much more. Not only does it help with normal bowel movements, it also provides other health benefits, such as helping with heart health and assisting with weight management.
We'll dig into what fiber is below.
Dietary fiber, also known as roughage, is made up of the parts of plant foods your body can't digest or assimilate. Unlike other macronutrients, such as proteins, fats, and carbohydrates — which your body is able to break down and absorb — fiber isn't digested by your body. Instead, it passes relatively intact through your body until it's eliminated.
The role fiber plays is that as it passes through your body it soaks up other particles and 'pushes' them through your system. This includes helping your body eliminate things like cholesterol and other food particles.
As you can imagine, getting this helpful 'push' is very important for the proper functioning of your body. Getting enough fiber helps to keep things moving in your system.
We already mentioned a few of the benefits of fiber above, but in this section we'll go more in-depth on the topic.
The main benefit of fiber is its ability to keep your digestive system moving. It helps to push things through and maintain normal bowel function. This helps to prevent occasional constipation and other problems.
Fiber is also good for heart health. New research shows that fiber may help to normalize cholesterol levels by binding with cholesterol particles in your digestive system and moving them out of the body before they're absorbed.
Adding more fiber to your diet can help with weight management. This is due to the fact that fiber rich foods tend to have more of a satiating effect. When your hunger feels satisfied more quickly, you will eat less. So make sure to get more fruits and veggies in your diet!
Fiber helps to keep things moving through your digestive system. This helps to benefit your overall bowel health since it doesn't give food the chance to sit in your colon where it can grow bacteria and cause issues. Plentiful amounts of fiber will keep things moving smoothly.
There are two main types of fiber, soluble and insoluble fiber. Both are needed by the body and serve different functions. Your recommended daily fiber intake is between 25 and 30 grams per day.
This type of fiber dissolves in water to form a gel-like liquid. It moves through your system and soaks up other particles until it is eliminated. Soluble fiber is found in foods such as oats, beans, apples, carrots, barley, and psyllium.
This type of fiber promotes the movement of material through your system and increases stool bulk. This is the type of fiber that is needed by those who struggle with irregular bowel movements. Foods rich in insoluble fiber include wheat bran, nuts, seeds, and beans. Many vegetables are rich in insoluble fiber, including veggies such as cauliflower, green beans, and potatoes.
You'll want to consume a combination of both soluble and insoluble fiber. The best soluble fiber to insoluble fiber ratio is 1:3. So, for instance, you'd want to get 7 grams of soluble fiber and 21 grams of insoluble fiber.
The best way to get more fiber in your diet is quite simply to eat more fruits and vegetables. Plant foods are rich in fiber, both soluble and insoluble. It is best to eat raw fruits and veggies as they contain more fiber, cooking them can break down the fiber content.
While eating more fruits and vegetables is a good rule of thumb, if you are looking for more in-depth information, below is a list of ideal fiber-rich foods.
While getting enough fiber through plant foods is ideal, sometimes it is tough to get enough fiber, especially if you travel on a regular basis. During those times, taking a fiber supplement is a great idea.
If you have a hard time processing gluten, make sure to look for a gluten-free fiber supplement. Many supplement brands are contaminated with gluten, so make sure to look for certified gluten-free fiber products! Check out this helpful article to help you learn how to tell if you're taking a gluten free fiber supplement. This is important because many fiber supplements are not gluten-free!
In closing, fiber is important. Getting enough fiber is crucial for your overall health and wellness. Make sure to prioritize fiber and your body will thank you!

Meryl McMaster uses photography to explore how we construct our sense of self through our perceptions of lineage, history and culture. Having both Indigenous and European (English, Dutch) heritage, this Canadian-based artist believes that creating one's identity is a subjective, indeterminate and open-ended process, one that is shaped by internal and external actions and experiences. The titles that McMaster bestows upon her photographic series - Ancestral, In-Between Worlds and Wanderings – serve as oblique clues to her way of thinking about identity.
Stylistically, McMaster's digital chromogenic prints are tightly constructed, visual narratives that leave little to photographic chance. And most are self-portraits. In the Ancestral series photographs she has projected historical images of Indigenous people onto her own and her father's visage creating a provocative interplay between past and present. In the prints from the Wanderings and In-Between Worlds series, McMaster casts herself as the protagonist who acts out highly scripted but mysterious narratives in carefully crafted tableaux. In these shape-shifting scenes that project a surreal or dreamlike quality, McMaster's merges her human identity with that of animals or Shamanistic beings through the costumes she wears. As such, she addresses self-identity as a fluid concept where the animal world elides with that of humans, and the past with the present. In Wanderings, her most recent series, McMaster continues to synthesize roles and time periods, feigning the identity of a territorial explorer, a seeker of lost truths, and a pathfinder to the unknown.
Meryl McMaster is a Plains Cree member of the Siksika Nation, and is also of British and Dutch ancestry. Since 2012, her work has been shown widely in more than 30 solo and group exhibitions across Canada and the United States. In the fall of 2015, the Museum of Contemporary Native Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico, exhibited McMaster's Wandering series, and the Smithsonian National Museum of the American in New York City featured her Second Self series. Select images from her Ancestral series were shown at Bockley Gallery. She also participated in numerous group exhibitions across Canada.
In 2010 McMaster graduated with a BFA from the Ontario College of Art and Design, now OCAD University, in Toronto, ON with a concentration in Photography. Currently she is on the long list for the Sobey Art Award. In 2015 she received a Visual Artists: Emerging Grant from the Ontario Arts Council, and in 2013 a Creation & Production Grant for Emerging Artists, from the City of Ottawa. In 2013 she was also an Eiteljorg Contemporary Art Fellow, a coveted award from The Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art in Indianapolis, Indiana. In 2012 she was awarded the Charles Pachter Prize for Emerging Artists from The Hnatyshyn Foundation in Ottawa.
McMaster's work has been acquired by various public collections including the Smithsonian National Museum of American Indian, the Canadian Museum of History, Art Gallery of Ontario, the Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada Art Collection, the Canada Council Art Bank, the Eiteljorg Museum, and the Donovan Collection.

The problems with hooking up in the city.
Living in a city of over eight million people, it should be easy to find your perfect match, right? Wrong. We take a look at some of the most common dating challenges that Bangkok throws at us.
Technology may have its plus sides, but there's no denying the impact it's had on how we invest in relationships. With new matches a simple Tinder-swipe away, we're quick to say goodbye to anything that remotely resembles effort and continue our quest to find an easy relationship, but can a meaningful relationship ever be easy?
All of us have been in a situation where someone asks us, "so do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend?" and we answer with, "I'm talking to someone." Talking, hanging out, dating, seeing each other, hooking up—what does all of this mean and who gets to decide? With so much choice at our fingertips, commitment can be challenging—as can trust.
Ever had someone you're dating just disappear out of the blue, never to be heard of again? This phenomenon has become so common it's even been given its own term: ghosting. Whatever the reason might be, who's got time for explanations when you could just simply stop replying to them? Though it's tough to be on the receiving end, sometimes this technique can come in handy.
The term "player" is so 2010—2019 is all about f*ckboys (or f*ckgirls). What is the difference, you ask? While a player would be upfront about their antics, a fuckboy will act like you're the most special thing in his life, while simultaneously never introducing you to any of his friends and only calling you at 3am after he's been out drinking with the boys. And we deal with it, because sometimes even toxic affection seems better than nothing.
If you've seen Netflix's new series You, and thought that sort of stalky behavior would never happen in real life, try reading these stories.
We did a little experiment. After swiping on 100 different guys on Tinder, we found 32 percent of them were from outside Thailand. That's one-third of the people on the Tinder dating scene! These out of towners can also have some weird misconceptions about themselves—as any woman who's evesdropped on a group of foreign bros can probably attest.

Technology for the United States Navy and Marine Corps, 2000-2035 Becoming a 21st-Century Force: Technology Volume 2 (Paperback)
Committee on Technology for Future Naval Forces (author), National Research Council (author), Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences (author), Commission on Physical Sciences, Mathematics, and Applications (author)
The future national security environment will present the naval forces with operational challenges that can best be met through the development of military capabilities that effectively leverage rapidly advancing technologies in many areas. The panel envisions a world where the naval forces will perform missions in the future similar to those they have historically undertaken. These missions will continue to include sea control, deterrence, power projection, sea lift, and so on. The missions will be accomplished through the use of platforms (ships, submarines, aircraft, and spacecraft), weapons (guns, missiles, bombs, torpedoes, and information), manpower, materiel, tactics, and processes (acquisition, logistics,and so on.). Accordingly, the Panel on Technology attempted to identify those technologies that will be of greatest importance to the future operations of the naval forces and to project trends in their development out to the year 2035. The primary objective of the panel was to determine which are the most critical technologies for the Department of the Navy to pursue to ensure U.S. dominance in future naval operations and to determine the future trends in these technologies and their impact on Navy and Marine Corps superiority. A vision of future naval operations ensued from this effort. These technologies form the base from which products, platforms, weapons, and capabilities are built. By combining multiple technologies with their future attributes, new systems and subsystems can be envisioned. Technology for the United States Navy and Marine Corps, 2000-2035 Becoming a 21st-Century Force:Volume 2: Technology indentifies those technologies that are unique to the naval forces and whose development the Department of the Navy clearly must fund, as well as commercially dominated technologies that the panel believes the Navy and Marine Corps must learn to adapt as quickly as possible to naval applications. Since the development of many of the critical technologies is becoming global in nature, some consideration is given to foreign capabilities and trends as a way to assess potential adversaries' capabilities. Finally, the panel assessed the current state of the science and technology (S&T) establishment and processes within the Department of the Navy and makes recommendations that would improve the efficiency and effectiveness of this vital area. The panel's findings and recommendations are presented in this report.

Parliament Speaker Ali Abdel Aal headed the 27th Conference of the Arab Inter-Parliamentary Union, which is being held in Cairo at the headquarters of the Egyptian Parliament. Its first session was Wednesday.
On the first day, a consultative meeting was held between the heads of parliaments and consultative councils and also the representatives of delegations participating in the conference's functions. On the second day, leaders of different Arab parliaments will give speeches, as will Arab League Sectary General Ahmed Aboul Gheit and Abdel Aal.
The Arab Inter-Parliamentary Union conference takes place annually and is headed by the parliament speaker of the host country. The union that was established in 1974 and includes Arab parliaments and consultative (shura) councils to cooperate, coordinate, and agree on issues of and threats to the Arab world. The last time the conference was held in Cairo was two years ago.
The Palestinian issue holds special importance on the union's agenda. The closing statement of the 26th conference of the union, held in Morocco in December 2017, stressed that the Palestinian issue is the central issue of the Arab world and that Arabs should support the steadfastness of the Palestinian people in confronting the "brutal" Israeli occupation.

A: By default, Spring Boot requires your container to support Servlet 3.0 or later. Tomcat 6 only supports Servlet 2.5. The easiest option is to upgrade to Tomcat 7 or 8.
If you can't upgrade to Tomcat 7 or 8, then it's still possible to get your app running. However, it'll require a bit more effort. As described in the documentation, you need to add a dependency on org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-legacy and add a web.xml with the following contents:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

The first new top-level domain name to be sold with live websites attached to it has been picked up by registry giant Donuts at auction.
The rights to sell domains under the name ".reise" – which is German for "travel" – represents a sea-change in the way the domain-name system will run in future, with generic top-level domains (gTLDs) becoming tradable assets rather than the core focus of a business.
Donuts paid an undisclosed sum for the gTLD, but bidding started at $400,000 and there were four bidders in the process. Donuts already runs the ".reisen" registry, and according to a report in Heise it was the main reason why the owner of ".reise" decided to sell up.
"[Owner Axel] Schwiersch had unexpectedly bad luck: the US TLD giant Donuts had secured almost the same suffix: dot-reisen," Heise reports. "The US competitor was under better conditions at the start: due to a more favorable place at the draw, '.reisen' could launch two weeks earlier. In addition, Donuts offered '.reisen' domains much cheaper."
As things stand today, there are 4,130 dot-reisen domains but just 1,320 dot-reise domains. In many respects the two extensions are equivalent in German.
While there have been sales of domain registries in the past, the auction of dot-reise represents a new market reality.
The dot-co registry was sold for $109m in 2014 to market giant Neustar after it had been relaunched in 2009 and was redeveloped into a successful business focussed on startups. Likewise, the government of Tuvalu reached a $50m agreement back in 2000 for licensing the rights to its ".tv" registry.
The huge expansion in new "generic" top-level domains – from .london to .xyz – has radically shaken up the domain-name market, however. Before the expansion there were just 22 gTLDs: the most famous being dot-com. In the past six months, more than 500 new gTLDs have been added, with a further 500 expected in the next six months.
Most organizations that applied for a new gTLD only went for one but there were a few notable exceptions that applied for dozens or even hundreds of TLDs. Donuts topped the list with no less than 307 applications; Google came second with 101 applications.
Of the 1,930 applications, 751 of them, or 39 per cent had one or more people applying, leading in many cases to private agreements or auctions to resolve ownership. Combined with delays in the process, high costs and lackluster registrations, a significant number of owners of new gTLDs are expected to sell up in the coming years.
In other words, .reise may be just the first sale of a live internet extension, and the market looks as though it will consolidate into a number of very large registry operators with a second tier of small operators who manage to find a profitable niche.
What many have not yet considered - including domain overseer ICANN - is the impact that moving to a more fluid market for top-level domains may have on millions of domain-name holders.
While the dot-com registry is limited to increasing its prices by a certain percentage each year, new gTLD operators are free to charge whatever they feel the market will bear. So far it looks as though the market for general domain endings is stabilizing around the dot-com registry price of $10 per year; with a second price point of around $50 per year for more focused or valuable gTLDs.
However, it is very possible that following a takeover from another company, domain registrants may find their domain renewal costs rocket.


Smart Packaging Solutions, a world leader in eID documents, is introducing "Hybrid 8," its new micro module, for hybrid cards with two chips: one contact and one contactless. The new Hybrid 8 module has exactly the same dimensions as SPS Dual 8 module used for dual interface cards that support contact and contactless communication with a single chip. This dimensional standardization enables smart card manufacturers to switch easily between manufacturing contactless, hybrid and dual interface cards, as no additional investment is needed.
The new Hybrid 8 module allows smart card manufacturers to integrate both the contact and the contactless chip at the end of their process, leading to a significantly better yield than the traditional process in which the contactless chip has to be integrated in the form of an inlay, before lamination and printing, which leads to poorer yields.
With the new Hybrid 8 module, smart card manufacturers benefit from a simpler supply chain as they receive the modules already embedded with both the contact and the contactless chips. This way they have a single supplier bringing a simpler and more reliable supply of modules, already embedded with both chips, constituting a strategic supply.
Also, with SPS "Module 8", as the smart card manufacturer completes the embedding of the module as the last part of the process, it is able to keep inventories of cards and modules separately and complete the embedding and printing upon customers orders giving it the best flexibility and an efficient means to deliver the best service to its customers.
The flexibility brought by the fact all modules "Hybrid 8" and "Dual 8" share the same footprint means that smart card embedders can, with a single process, switch easily between manufacturing contact, contactless and dual interface cards.
Smart Packaging Solutions (SPS) will be exhibiting on stand B14 at SDW, a major conference and exhibition focusing on next-generation human identity solutions and intrinsic document security, in London, on 26-28 June 2017.


I have a Cintimani stone in my home. I sent away for it from Cobra's website. I don't remember seeing a wearable one. Are you selling cintimani jewelry?
No, Deb, I do not sell wearable Cintamani jewelry. It is possible to have a jeweler make your one into a ring or a pendant. This changes it from a dark variant to one of a light variant. You can view the underlying translucency of your stone by viewing it over a light bulb. Each one is unique!


Although I have never been in your situation, I feel that enough time has not gone by yet. When it has, you will know what to do. There is no urgency, is there?
Just as a contrast, when my father died 13 years ago, it was mid-April. When I visited my mom for Mother's Day a few weeks later, his closet was cleared out already. She didn't let any grass grow under her feet; I think that was how she coped.
And as long as she can get up and down the basement stairs to do her laundry -- or pay someone to do it for her -- she won't leave that house.
Three weeks ago I started to recycle his clothes. Got "rid" of most of them but still have a few items left and cleared out the main closet in our house for my stuff. He was a pack rat. I have SOOOO much syuff to go through. I've already had 1-800-GOT_JUNK down once. May have to call them again sometime.
Have no idea where his wedding ring is, he almost ripped his finger off and I understood when he took it off. Besides I grew up seeing Dad not wear his one day of my life because of the same problem. If or when I find it, I shall wear it on a chain. I say "if" because towards the end he had no idea where he had put it and it wasn't in the usual places one would place jewelry.
I have his watch, ring, glasses, Rx sunglasses, wallet (minus credit cards, etc.) in an old wooden carved box that was his grandfathers. It's on my dresser. He also kept a daily to-do list in a steno pad, and never threw them away, and every once and a while, I'll look up a day and see what his "chores" for the day were. Mostly pretty routine stuff; get newspaper, make coffee, pack lunch, take out trash toter..... but it's like reliving a slice of his life. The other thing I've been working on is copying VHS and Hi8 tapes to DVD's on the computer. My youngest son bought me a Dazzle DVD Recoreder Plus which lets me hook up the VHS player directly to my PC and transfer the tapes to DVD's. Same with my HandyCam. Then I can edit the DVD's. Tedious and very time consuming, but I can see and hear him. I always loved his laugh. When I finish, I'd like to make copies of the DVD's and give each of my kids a set so their kids can remember their Grandpa. They were so young when he died, and lived so far away, they rarely saw us. They don't remember him.
When I sold the house in CO, I had to get rid of 90% of the furniture and household goods as we already had this place furnished. I kept some things that were sentimental, but most of it was either given to the kids, trashed or donated. So, in that way, I did a lot of "purging". Now, the things of his that I kept all have really significant memories attached. His clothes were just something I moved down here because I wasn't ready to part with them.
Ohio, my dad was like your mom. Within days after my mom died, my dad got rid of everything that reminded him of her. My sister and I got her jewelry, and had our pick of her clothes and other personal momentos, but everything we didn't want, my dad gave away. Within a week, there was no trace of my mom in that house. I'm way too sentimental for my own good!! My kids will look at my stuff when I die and ask, "Really? She kept this? What is it and why?"
Marcy, when my Mom died, Dad didn't have to do a thing to clean my mother out of the house. I was so angry at how she brought me up and screwed my life up that I got rid of everything of hers. I regret that now that 20 years have passed but I had to purge myself of the horrible feelings I had for her when she died. NOW I miss her.
I downsized, sold the big house and moved to small 2 bd, 1b home. The other one was too large and too expensive to maintain. It was a good decision for me!
The only thing I find comforting about staying in a home where on spouse has made the transition, is that you always have the memory of what they were doing in the kitchen, living room, or whatever...but if you have a new place of dwelling you can look around, and see no memory.
My FIL has a new apartment, is depressed, he looks around, and there are no memories of my MIL, none.....it was all in the other house, which I feel he should have of stayed.
I've mentioned my parents and my mother's death on here quite a bit but had to post on here too. They were married 66 years, the last 30+ in one house. After Mama died, we (my brother and I) kind of hinted to him about going to an assisted living facility here, for health reasons. A few weeks later he decided on his own to move to assisted living. He told me everywhere he looked he saw her. Her chair, her tea pot and cup, her apron, ... Just too much of her in this house for him to stay here day after day. Now he thoroughly enjoys the assisted living facility. As far as the house, with housing prices these days he deeded the house to my wife and I. We told him to keep his door key and he is welcome any time he wants to come over, which he has from time to time to see what we've done to the place. If we're not home he'll tell us he drove by to check on something or he forgot something. I'm glad he will still come by.
That's so nic, kygman. I'm glad Pops can come by any time.
Even though my situation is unorthodox, I'm blessed that I'm moving back to OUR old house and I will have memories there to greet me too. I may be moving but I'm moving into good memories. Marcy must've felt the same?
I did. For so long our house in CO had been home. After he died, it became a place where all I thought about was how he died. The condo, albeit much, much smaller, was a place where we had wonderful memories together as it was a vacation home. Choosing to move there was like going to a very happy, loving place where I still had memories of him and the joy we had together.
Kygman, I think your dad made the right choice. Sometimes, it's just too painful to stay in the home, especially when it's not easy to get around, and you're lonely with just memories to keep you company. He's probably enjoying the social life and meeting new people, as well as the assistance he gets. It's nice that he gets the best of both worlds; a new experience and the comfort of their home.
