Indie Band Oh Geeez Releases "Coming Home – The Mixtape" Inspired by Third Season of Disney Channel's "Amphibia"
Tags: Amphibia, Cartoon, Disney Channel, Disney TV
Fans of the Disney Channel original series Amphibia can still channel some of the latest season with a new album inspired by the third season of the series from a Milwaukee-based Indie Band, Oh Geeez.
For a few weeks now, we've been deprived of the fan-favorite Disney Channel original series, Amphibia. The show is currently in the usual break in the middle of the season, this time leaving us wondering what is going on on Earth with Anne and the Plantars.
Fans of the show who are looking for new Amphibia-based content to hold them over during the show's current hiatus however, can turn to a massive new fan project by Milwaukee-based indie band Oh Geeez.
Coming Home – The Mixtape is a collection of 16 songs and instrumentals inspired by the first 16 episodes of Amphibia Season 3, with all the music written, recorded, and produced by the band.
The songs feature a variety of sounds and styles, but center on the show's universal themes of friendship, regret, and adventure. From the arena-sized pop choruses of "Let Me In" and the titular "Coming Home" to the mournful singer-songwriter ballad "See You Again" and the sprawling rock-opera opus "Awakening," the band hopes that the songs will appeal to all fans of the show, and even resonate with those who aren't familiar with the hit Disney program.
Begun in 2020 as a quarantine hobby, Oh Geeez quickly evolved from a YouTube reaction channel to a prolific music-making force. Composed of Sean McGibany (vocals), Jack Gilmond (guitar), and Alex Dollenmayer (drums), the trio crafts sincere, hook-laden songs about family, friends, and fantasy, inspired by a variety of animated shows and movies.
Season 3 of Amphibia Emmy Award-nominated series finds Anne and the Plantars transported from Amphibia to her hometown of Los Angeles, where the Frog Family must learn to navigate the complexities of this modern-day world, conceal their identities as talking frog people and search for a way home. You can catch up with our recaps of the season and beyond here.
Coming Home – The Mixtape is now available on most streaming services, including Spotify and Apple Music and can be listened to by clicking here.
Lead singer and songwriter Sean McGibany: "We love interacting with the Amphibia fandom online, but we don't want there to be any barrier of entry to this music. We want all our friends and family – most of whom have never seen the show – to be able to relate to the songs. So we always look for the familiar themes and messages, and highlight
them in our music."

Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal seeks to promote the exchange of information, experience of struggle, theoretical analysis and views of political strategy and tactics within the international left. It is a forum for open and constructive dialogue between active socialists from different political traditions. It seeks to bring together those in the international left who are opposed to neoliberal economic and social policies, and reject the bureaucratic model of "socialism" that arose in the Soviet Union, Eastern Europe and China.
Inspired by the unfolding socialist revolution in Venezuela, as well as the continuing example of socialist Cuba, Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal is a journal for "Socialism of the 21st century", and the discussions and debates flowing from that powerful example of socialist renewal.
Links is also proud to be the sister publication of Green Left Weekly, the world's leading red-green newspaper, and we urge readers to visit that site regularly.

August 26, 2018 — Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal reposted from Viewpoint Magazine — The contempt implied by the Argentine Senate's rejection of the bill to legalize abortion rewrites – and makes us remember – a scene that we know well: the domestic scene, where all our effort seems to become invisible, almost as if it didn't exist, as if it didn't count. Thus the Parliament sought to repeat what, for centuries, the patriarchy has wanted us to get used to: an act of disdain to discredit us. Where our power does not enter into the account, where it does not count. But, this time, due to the unfolding of the feminist movement we cannot go back to that scene of submission and invisibilization ever again. Our fury comes from the certainty that there is no going back and that the power we have gained cannot be reversed. Based on that certainty, we also say that we will never return to a condition of clandestinity.
August 25, 2018 — Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal reposted from IPS News — The Argentine Senate's rejection of a bill to legalise abortion did not stop a Latin American movement, which is on the streets and is expanding in an increasingly coordinated manner among women's organisations in the region with the most restrictive laws and policies against pregnant women's right to choose.
Approved in Argentina by the Chamber of Deputies and later rejected by a vote of 38 to 31 on Aug. 9, the bill to legalise abortion in the first 14 weeks of pregnancy and the historic social mobilisation on the streets offered hope for other countries in the region.
The Guttmacher Institute estimates that between 2010 and 2014, some 6.5 million abortions were practiced annually in Latin America and the Caribbean, up from 4.4 million between 1990 and 1994.
August 19, 2018 — Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal reposted from Climate & Capitalism — Scientific papers do not often make front-page news, but a recent one certainly has.
The basis for those excited headlines was an article with the distinctly unexciting title "Trajectories of the Earth System in the Anthropocene," published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Normally, PNAS articles can only be read by those who pay high subscription fees, but interest in this one ran so high that after one day the publisher removed the paywall, making it accessible to all.
August 19, 2018 — Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal — Samir Amin's celebrated life was amongst the most trying, but also rewarding, of his generation's left intelligentsia. Following Amin's death in Paris on Sunday, his political courage and professional fearlessness are two traits now recognised as exceedingly rare. Alongside extraordinary contributions to applied political-economic theory beginning 60 years ago, Amin's unabashed Third Worldist advocacy was channelled through unparalleled scholarly entrepreneurship when establishing surprisingly durable research institutions.
August 19, 2018 — Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal reposted from Marxismus und Tierbefreiung — Marxism and the liberation of animals are two things which, at first glance, do not seem to have much in common. Neither did the former make waves for being particularly animal-loving, nor are animal lovers known for taking up the cause of liberating the working class and the construction of a socialist society.
August 11, 2018 — Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal — Republicans and Democrats like to claim that they are on opposite sides of important issues. Of course, depending on which way the wind blows, they sometimes change sides, like over support for free trade and federal deficits. Tragically, however, there is no division when it comes to militarism.
August 1 2018 — Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal reposted from Left Voice — A recent op-ed in the Los Angeles Times boldly stated, "Americans like socialism now." Increasingly among younger people, the word "socialism" has lost its Cold War stigma. According to the article, the new-found interest in socialism is linked to the 2008 crash and its recovery, "which has seen nearly all newly created wealth claimed by the 1% while wages stagnate, has led to a rebirth of the American left." In other words, for most people, capitalism just wasn't working.
August 1, 2018 — Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal — The historical candlelight movement of 2016-17 finally turned South Korea from one of the most reactionary anti-communist regimes into a normal democracy. However, the recent debate over Yemenis refugees revealed the naked face of deep-seated racism of many Koreans.
July 30, 2018 — Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal reposted from John Riddell's Marxist essays and commentary — A conference in Mississauga July 7, convened by the Kashmir Welfare Society, marked the first organized response in Canada to a United Nations report calling for an investigation of human rights violations in this divided South Asian territory.
More than 200 participants adopted a resolution calling on the government of India to withdraw troops from Kashmir (full name: Jammu and Kashmir) in order to permit an "enabling environment" for implementation of the UN's resolutions calling for a plebiscite to determine the territory's future.
July 28, 2018 — Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal — Ali Wazeer, a central committee member of The Struggle group, has won a seat in the national parliament with 23530 votes and his closest rival from religious alliance MMA got 7515. Thus winning the seat with a majority of 16015.
Ali Wazeer was one the main leader of Pashtun Tahafaz Movement and during this year, mass meetings were organised in major cities to raise voices for the fair compensation to the victims of the war on terror" and to demand the release of all "missing" persons or to bring them to the courts if they are guilty.
We should note first of all that the most important issue facing Venezuela after its May 20 presidential election is coping with the continually increasing US-Canada-European Union economic sanctions and their goal of overturning Chavismo in Venezuela. Of this Harnecker says little.
July 18, 2018 — Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal reposted from Austrian Journal of South-East Asian Studies — Since the election of Narendra Modi in India in 2014 and Donald Trump in the USA in 2016, political analysts and commentators around the globe have increasingly used the concept of fascism to capture the rise of new right-wing authoritarianism in various countries.
July 16, 2018 — Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal — It's more than doors between the US government and the businesses that they supposedly regulate that go round and round. One of the other swinging doors is between the Democratic and Republican Parties.
July 13, 2018 — Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal reposted from John Riddell's Marxist essays and commentary — The League Against Imperialism was launched in Brussels in 1927 with the goal of forging unity between colonized peoples and workers in the colonizing countries. Initiated by a wing of the Communist International, it was the first attempt to structure international anti-colonial unity. This brief presentation will focus on its origins and the causes of its decline.
July 12, 2018 — Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal reposted from ANF News — Emel Dede is a representative of the Turkmen people in the Manbij Democratic Civil Administration Legislative Assembly Council.
She said that the whole society has the right to work for, take part and to be represented in the autonomous administration.
July 10, 2018 — Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal — The Russian Revolution of 1917 clearly reveals the complexities of Bolshevism – Lenin's party – as a revolutionary collective. In fact, there is a convergence of complexities related to several different factors I would like to touch on in these remarks. These include party structures, personalities, and outlooks.

Фаусти́но Ма́ркос Альбе́рто Ро́хо (; 20 марта 1990, Ла-Плата) — аргентинский футболист, защитник клуба «Бока Хуниорс» и сборной Аргентины. Играет на позициях центрального и левого защитника. Серебряный призёр чемпионата мира 2014 года.

Карьера

«Эстудиантес»
Маркос Рохо — воспитанник клуба «Эстудиантес», в котором выступал за все юношеские команды. С 2008 года он стал выступать за основной состав «Эстудиантеса», дебютировав 7 декабря в игре с «Колоном», где провёл на поле 10 минут. 5 июля 2009 года Рохо забил свой первый мяч в профессиональной карьере, поразив ворота «Ривер Плейта» и принеся победу своей команде со счётом 2:1. В том же году футболист выиграл с клубом Кубок Либертадорес. В том же сезоне футболист участвовал в Клубном чемпионате мира, где «Эстудиантес» дошёл до финала, проиграв «Барселоне». С весны 2009 года футболист стал игроком основы «Эстудиантеса» и лидером команды. В 2010 году Рохо из-за травм в клубе, перестроившегося со схемы 4-4-2 на 3-5-1-1, был переведён с центра защиты на левый фланг обороны, где к середине сезона занял твёрдое место в стартовом составе команды. 25 августа 2010 года Рохо забил первый мяч за клуб в континентальном турнире, поразив ворота «ЛДУ Кито» в Рекопе Южной Америки, однако его клуб проиграл 1:2. 25 сентября Рохо впервые отличился в чемпионате Аргентины 2010 года, забив гол на 88-й минуте игры с «Бока Хуниорс» и принеся победу своей команде со счётом 1:0. В 2010 году Рохо в составе «Эстудиантеса» выиграл Апертуру чемпионата Аргентины, в розыгрыше которой провёл 19 игр и забил 2 гола. Сам аргентинец был признан лучшим левым защитником сезона по версии Canchallena.com. После матча, в котором он стал чемпионом, аргентинец сказал:
Я буду скучать по «Эстудиантесу», так как провёл в этом клубе 10 лет. Я получил большое удовольствие в воскресном матче за мою команду, ведь мы стали чемпионами страны. Но одновременно мне было немного грустно, поскольку я понимал, что это прощальный матч в составе «Эстудиантеса».

«Спартак»
3 ноября 2010 года Рохо достиг договорённости о том, что в случае успешного медицинского обследования станет игроком московского «Спартака» за 3 или 4 млн долларов. Также на футболиста претендовал другой российский клуб — ЦСКА, а кроме того, «Палермо», «ПСВ Эйндховен», «Бенфика» и «Валенсия». По словам спортивного директора «красно-белых» Дмитрия Попова, «приход Рохо означает только то, что сейчас у нас три центральных защитника, а со следующего сезона будет четыре, причём, один из них — молодой и перспективный футболист из Аргентины. По-моему, это очень даже неплохой вариант. Рохо — левый центральный защитник, и "Спартаку" он нужен именно в этом качестве». Одновременно со «Спартаком» Маркосом заинтересовался «Наполи», предложивший 4 млн евро за переход футболиста. 17 декабря Рохо заключил 5-летний контракт со «Спартаком».

18 января 2011 года Маркос дебютировал в составе клуба в товарищеской игре с кишинёвской «Дачией». 18 февраля Рохо дебютировал в официальной игре за «Спартак» в матче Лиги Европы против швейцарского «Базеля»; в этой игре «красно-белые» победили со счётом 3:2. С первых матчей Маркос стал основным игроком центра обороны «красно-белых», выступая попеременно с Мареком Сухи и Александром Шешуковым. 20 апреля Маркос забил первый гол за «Спартак», поразив ворота «Краснодара» в Кубке России. В середине весны — начале лета Рохо не выступал за «Спартак» из-за респираторной вирусной инфекции, а затем из-за травм икроножной мышцы и приводящей мышцы бедра. В июле Маркос был оштрафован клубом на 50 % месячной зарплаты, за то, что вместе с партнёром по команде, Николасом Парехой возвратился в клуб после участия в Кубке Америки позже положенного срока. Сами футболисты сказали, что в аэропорту не было билетов в Россию, однако позже полностью осознали свою вину. 7 августа, впервые за долгое время, Рохо вышел на место центрального защитника в стартовом составе команды в матче с «Тереком» и сыграл неудачно: в частности он позволил обыграть себя Шамилю Асильдарову, после чего был забит первый мяч, а затем на нём был заработан пенальти. На следующую игру Маркос был переведён в дублирующий состав «Спартака». За оставшуюся часть сезона Рохо провёл лишь несколько матчей; в ноябре он получил травму голеностопа и выбыл из строя на месяц.

В ноябре Рохо заинтересовалась «Бенфика». Летом 2012 года португальский клуб вновь начал переговоры с игроком.

«Спортинг»
20 июля 2012 года официальный сайт «Спартака» сообщил, что Рохо продолжит свою карьеру в лиссабонском «Спортинге». Контракт был подписан до 2016 года. За 25 % прав на контракт аргентинца «Спортинг» заплатил 1 млн евро. 28 апреля 2013 года Маркос забил свой первый гол в составе «львов», поразив ворота «Насьонала» в рамках Лиги Сагриш и принеся победу клубу со счетом 2:1. В сезоне 2012/13 являлся основным левым защитником «Спортинга», проведя 24 матча в рамках Лиги Сагриш. Всего за один сезон он смог стать одним из самых перспективных игроков Европы и вошел в сферу интересов таких команд как «Барселона», «Милан», «Ливерпуль» и «ПСЖ». Сезон 2013/14 Маркос вновь провёл в «Спортинге», наколотив 4 гола в 25 матчах.

«Манчестер Юнайтед»
19 августа 2014 года было объявлено о заключении соглашения между «Спортингом» и «Манчестер Юнайтед» о трансфере защитника в английский клуб. Переход будет завершён после прохождения аргентинцем медицинского обследования и согласования условий личного контракта. 20 августа трансфер был завершён: Рохо подписал с английским клубом пятилетний контракт, а сумма трансфера составила 16 млн фунтов, € 4 млн из этой суммы получил «Спартак». Наставник «дьяволов» Луи ван Гал назвал Рохо одаренным защитником со светлым будущим, а сам аргентинец был доволен переездом на «Олд Траффорд», назвав это исполнением детской мечты. Однако несмотря на множество выписанных авансов аргентинец ужасно стартовал в «МЮ». Во время летнего отдыха в Аргентине он был арестован по делу четырёхлетней давности, когда во время празднования своего перехода в московский «Спартак» разбил бутылку об голову своего соседа Хуана Пабло Гомеса. Из-за этого Маркос до начала сентября не мог получить рабочую визу и дебютировать в составе «МЮ». Наконец 14 сентября аргентинец сыграл свой первый матч в составе «красных дьяволов», выйдя с первых минут поединка против «Куинз Парк Рейнджерс» (4:0). В течение следующих двух месяцев Рохо получил две серьёзные травмы, а всего провёл в том сезоне 22 матча. Сам игрок назвал дебютный отрезок карьеры в английской команде провальным.

Летом 2015 года у Рохо начались проблемы с «красными дьяволами». Он был оштрафован на 200 000 евро из-за того что забыл продлить свой паспорт и не смог вовремя отправиться с командой по турне в США. На старте сезона 2015/16 Маркос оказался в резервной команде и чуть было не стал частью сделки по переходу Антони Марсьяля из «Монако». В сезоне 2015/16 его продолжили преследовать травмы. В самой команде дела шли неладно и наставник «дьяволов» Луи ван Гал постоянно проводил ротацию состава. Порой даже здоровый Рохо не попадал в стартовый состав, в связи с чем начали ходить слухи об его уходе.

4 марта 2017 года в матче Премьер-лиги с «Борнмутом» забил свой первый гол за манкунианцев.

16 марта 2018 года Рохо продлил контракт с «Манчестер Юнайтед» до 2021 года.

«Бока Хуниорс»
2 февраля 2021 года перешёл в аргентинский клуб «Бока Хуниорс».

Международная карьера

В январе 2011 года Рохо был вызван в состав сборной Аргентины на товарищеский матч с Португалией. 9 февраля футболист дебютировал в этом матче, в котором его команда победила 2:1; при этом футболист действовал персонально против Нани и справился со своей задачей.

В мае 2011 года Маркос, вместе с партнёром по команде, Николасом Парехой, был приглашён для участия в составе сборной на Кубке Америки. На турнире футболист дебютировал в первом матче, в котором аргентинцы сыграли вничью с боливийцами 1:1; сам защитник провёл на поле все 90 минут, а также поучаствовал в забитом голе, сделав навес с фланга на Николаса Бурдиссо, который сбросил мяч Агуэро, после чего тот поразил ворота. Однако этот матч стал единственным для защитника на турнире, где аргентинцы дошли лишь до стадии четвертьфинала.

Также в составе сборной Маркос стал серебряным призёром чемпионата мира 2014, Кубка Америки 2015 и Кубка Америки 2016.

Был включён в заявку сборной Аргентины на чемпионат мира 2018 года в России. 26 июня 2018 года забил победный гол в матче против сборной Нигерии, благодаря которому аргентинцы вышли в плей-офф.

Личная жизнь
Рохо женат на португальской модели Эужении Лусардо (), у пары есть дочь, Морена.

На теле Маркоса расположено большое количество татуировок, в том числе такие слова как «гордость» и «слава», написанные на английском языке.

Скандалы
Был задержан за участие в массовой драке 20 июля 2021 года.

2021 Christmas Gift: Vinyl Record Player
It's that most enjoyable time of the year again. Christmas carols are ringing around every corner. What to buy for friends and family for the big day? This nagging question becomes more and more important as time goes on. When you're looking to buy Christmas gifts for family and friends, you'll find yourself feeling dazzled by the online gift guides and the vast array of gifts in stores. But if you asked me for Christmas gift ideas, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend a vinyl record player, and the reasons are as follow:
Add more Glamour to Christmas Parties
Christmas is always exciting. What would happen if you heard your favorite Christmas album on a pleasant Christmas day? When the turntable stylus touches the record and the music fills the house, there is nothing quite like it!
Provide a Warmer Sound
Vinyl is known for the warm sound it provides. When you listen to a vinyl record, you are hearing uncompressed music that sounds just like the artist envisioned it. Vinyl records do not suffer from the loss of sound due to compression of the music files, which happens when you hear streamed audio. Besides, vinyl is closer to hearing a live performance than when the recording is converted to a digital format. If you want to enjoy this more realistic and warmer sound, a record player is indispensable in addition to vinyl records.
Help You Relax
In today's fast-paced environment, people are always in a hurry and don't have time to relax. It's not a bad thing to take a moment to listen to music, and for some people, it's even therapeutic. Put a vinyl record on the turntable, turn on the record player switch, listen to the music and enjoy your time. You will find that everything is so beautiful.
Suitable as a House Decoration
Vinyl record players come in a variety of styles, such as vintage design and minimalist style. No matter which style of record player, it is an eye-catching piece that sets the tone of any living room or bedroom and is great for decorating any room.
The convenience and technology of today's music listening devices are widely known and used, which makes owning a vinyl record player feel even more special. It is no exaggeration to say that the record player is definitely the best Christmas gift in 2021, at least I think so. And what do you think?
The Best Christmas Albums on Vinyl
Which Record Player New Look You prefer?
Retrolife has introduced 4 new models with new upgraded looks and features, so if you're considering upgrading your record player, come see what's new!
How to distinguish the authenticity of vinyl
In summary, there are many different marks on each vinyl record to look for to determine if it is an original.
9 Best Fourth Of July Songs
The 4th of July is a great day to enjoy lunch at a local park, gather friends and family for delicious hot dogs and hamburgers, and have a relaxing Independence Day. In addition to these classic and traditional activities, these songs help you celebrate.

Nomadic Philosopher:
A Conversation with Rosi Braidotti
Utrecht, The Netherlands, August 1995
with Kathleen O'Grady

This document may be distributed and copied for classroom and other educational purposes as long as the journal and author is credited. Permission must be requested from the journal for reprinting this interview in a book or another journal.

Born in Italy, raised in Australia, educated in Paris and currently living and teaching in the Netherlands, Rosi Braidotti has created from her nomadic existence a politically motivated philosophy that provides a new framework for reinventing the female subject in our post-metaphysical world. Labelled a postmodern feminist, Braidotti aims to develop a theory that can support a heterogenous model of subjectivity for the contemporary woman. She writes her texts in polyglot fashion, sometimes first in English, sometimes in French or Italian, and then re-written for translation into a variety of languages. She facetiously names her dialects Italo-Australian, Franglais, New Yorkese Parisian patois or Dutch-lish. Currently she is the chair of the Women's Program in the Humanities at the University of Utrecht. Her books include the highly praised Patterns of Dissonance (1991), as well as Women, the Environment and Sustainable Development (1994), and Nomadic Subjects (1995).
K: In the jointly authored text, Women, the Environment and Sustainable Development (1994), you call for stronger links between feminists and environmental activists. What common ground exists between the two movements and what types of coalition are you proposing?
B: Well, it is a collective book. There were four of us involved in writing it, so it is very interdisciplinary, very broad ranging. The book was commissioned by the United Nations agency, INSTRAW, which is the Institute for the Advancement and the Training of Women (which I think, since then, has been restructured, unfortunately). And we started by doing an inventory of how in Western or Northern universities the question of environmentalism was or was not being dealt with, specifically within women's studies. That was the genesis of the project: a sort of intersection between focusing on gender or women and being concerned about ecological issues.
As we worked through the report for INSTRAW though, it became a lot more interesting and broader, so we ended up then writing it as a book. But it is very important to remember the parameters within which it really started because they also set some limitations. And as we did our survey of how the question of environmentalism was or was not represented in university curricula, in women's and gender studies, then the gap between the two areas really became apparent. And of course, this gap or hiatus was already clear if you approached the issue from the activist angle, because if you had been a women's studies activist or a women's issues activist, then You already knew that women's groups and" environmentalists do not always work together. There are some obvious and well-known exceptions, but globally the kind of work that environmental agencies or activist groups do is not always gender conscious, and alternatively, gender activists do not always take into account the question of the environment, except in the area known as "eco-feminism", which we survey very carefully in this book.
So we noticed a real gap in our university curricula and consequently in the agenda they implement, both in terms of practise, or praxis, and in terms of content, that we wanted to try and fill in. We found in the work of someone like Donna Haraway, both an environmentalist and a feminist, a good attempt to bridge this distance without appealing to, what is absolutely for us, the anathema notion of some ideas of female nature or of genuine, authentic nature that we need to come back to. How to be both non-essentialist and very much a consensus of coalition making. It is a bit of a wager, a bit of a hope for the future.
K: In your essay, "Feminist Critiques of Science" from the same text, you conduct a feminist analysis of science and scientific discourse. What ethical and epistemological questions does a feminist analysis of science raise?
B: Feminists have always shared a critical edge of concern for science, in so far as the inferiority of women has been extensively theorised and has been the object of intensive scientific discourses (in the West at least, certainly since the 16th and 17th century, and massively in modernity after that). The science question is in-built into feminism, as Sandra Harding has pointed out, so that by addressing the question of female nature, by addressing the question of human nature, by deconstructing both, of course we lay open the question of, not only the power of knowledge -- who decides what in which situational contexts or in which discursive contexts -- but also, epistemological questions that have to do with the texture almost, of the scientific disciplines: what to do with objectivity; what to do with certain notions of distance or neutrality; what to do with an increasing quantification of what we call scientific knowledge; what do we do with the regular and systematic recurrence of exclusion of always the same others; and this kind of persistence of the process of othering? It is always the women, it is always the non-whites or the blacks, it is always the children, it is always the physically disabled, it is always the physical environment.
There is a recurrence, a repetition of certain themes of exclusion. The need for such exclusions itself, is for us, an object of scientific inquiry, and yet, what we know of science, is built upon the omission of any reference to either the necessity of exclusion, or to the excluded groups. Science as a set of paradoxical intersections. But they are always building upon each other; they are two questions that simply cannot do without each other.
K: In your most renowned text, Patterns of Dissonance (1991), you are highly influenced by both Foucault and Deleuze. How is their work useful for feminist thought especially?
B: You may know that the next book I wrote is called Nomadic Subjects, where I develop much more my Deleuzian allegiance. And that seems to be, at the moment, the thinker that I am working the most with. But I think that my general position is still the one that I describe in Patterns of Dissonance, and that is that one has to be very pragmatic and relatively opportunistic about the Ywritings of" the philosophers. I have a great deal of problems marrying, so to speak, into any one philosophy, and the metaphor of divorce, of dissonance, of splitting, comes up strongly in the book. I do think there is an interesting intersection, or, if you will, a coming together of interests between feminism on the one hand and, on the other, the margin of critical thinkers who are attempting to redefine philosophy, radically, critically, in a 21st century perspective, making it relevant to today's culture, and I would definitely put all the French school into that category. There is an interesting convergence between them -- their reconstruction, deconstruction of philosophy -- and some of the things that feminists aspire to, but I do not think that the connection is given. I think it has to be constructed. It has to be built up step by step. At best, we can "use" certain philosophical ideas for feminist purposes.
I do not think that Foucault & feminism or Deleuze & feminism is the answer. And this is very important because now Deleuze is becoming extremely fashionable. I just spent a year in the States, so I can see the coming of the Deleuzian wave....It is inevitable, but you have to be very ironical about it, be a bit distant from it. I think that no one major philosopher has the answer. They have tools of analysis that we can use and they share a concern for the deconstruction of the discipline. I think that is absolutely crucial. To be willing and interested in opening up a discipline, saying this is what it is made of, this is what it excludes or silences, that is what it can do for us. As Deleuze says, the only future of a discipline like philosophy is its capacity for self-criticism, and consequently, for reinventing itself creatively.
They are certainly very radical in their epistemologies and that is useful. But it is not given; everything has to be constructed, for different reasons. Foucault is androcentric and I think Deleuze if fundamentally a romantic when it comes to sexual difference, a high-tech romantic. I am sure that this will have disastrous consequences when he is applied in a cyber- punk mode: new internet cowboys who are riding the wave of the next technological revolution. Why bring gender out of the picture? In the name of "poli-sexuality" and multiplicities. That is going to be a very big problem....Beware of any complete and unconditional alliance with any philosophy.

If the message of Marco Island is elegance and serenity, then the message of the southern tip of the island is elegance and serenity at its best. Located within the Cape Marco community, the beautiful Merida sits next to Monterrey and overlooks the wide opening between Caxambas Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, giving guests a panoramic water scene along with a spectacular view of The Thousand Islands to the south.
Merida offers all of the lush, well-manicured grounds of Cape Marco in a secure environment away from the crowds. The gates to Cape Marco and Merida are staffed around-the-clock with friendly and helpful personnel. They are the first to greet you, and they are certain to make your visit a pleasant one from the start at 990 Cape Marco Drive. One of the neatest amenities that Merida offers is fishing right off the pier in front of the building. It would be a mistake to just say that the Merida offers tennis courts because that might mislead you into thinking that it has two, or maybe three. In fact, it has six. And all six are lighted, so if the daytime temp is too hot, you can play in the cool of the evening.
Speaking of playing in the evening, the options at this gulf-front condo complex are plentiful. If you want to watch the sun set from Marco Island's white-sand beach, it's just a short walk along the private access way to the south end of the island's spectacular crescent-shaped beach where the waves from the Gulf of Mexico kiss the shore. Or, if your wife's favorite thing for dinner is reservations, the island offers an amazing choice of both casual and fine dining venues only a few minutes away.
The Merida is 12-story high-rise condo building that was built in 1992, so guests can expect modern, luxurious facilities throughout. The in-house fitness facility offers modern, up-to-date exercise equipment as well as a dry sauna. The pool sets between the main building and the Gulf. In fact, it is just a few feet away from the Gulf. Covered parking protects your vehicle from the sometimes intense rays of the subtropical sun.
The Merida features an elegantly equipped social room for your convenience during your minimum 30-day stay in paradise. Or, you may just wish to enjoy the luxury of your home-away-from-home during your Florida vacation, whether in your two or three bedroom condo or on your spacious, private terrace where your view is unparalleled and the gulf breezes are refreshing beyond compare.
Finally, here is the Merida's little secret, and it's one you will want to know. The prices at Merida are the lowest in the exclusive Cape Marco community. If your idea of a perfect getaway is elegance and serenity in a luxury condo at the water's edge, then plan to get away to Merida at Cape Marco. The best way to get there is to call the Boyle Team at 239-776-2164. Dan and Sue will be delighted to assist you.

SALT LAKE CITY, Sept. 13, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- InvisibleShield®, a ZAGG Inc (NASDAQ:ZAGG) brand and the leading global innovator in screen protection, today announced InvisibleShield Glass+ VisionGuard™ for the Apple iPhone Xs, iPhone Xs Max, and the iPhone XR. Glass+ VisionGuard features protective EyeSafe® technology that filters out portions of the harmful high-energy visible (HEV) blue light spectrum emanating from device screens while maintaining the superior color performance of your device display.
InvisibleShield Glass+ VisionGuard defends against harmful high-energy visible (HEV) blue light and promotes better eye health while providing the powerful impact protection for which InvisibleShield is known.

According to The Nielsen Company1, the average adult now spends more than 9 hours per day on screens. According to The Vision Council, people normally blink 18 times per minute on average. Using digital screens causes blink rates to drop, resulting in dry, itchy or burning eyes, the symptoms most commonly associated with digital eye strain. HEV blue light reaches deeper into the eye which may damage the retina2. Additional research also points to a link between HEV blue light and long-term vision issues including age-related macular degeneration3 and cataracts, leading causes of blindness.
As we use devices more, our exposure to HEV blue light increases. HEV blue light has been shown to contribute to digital eye strain which can cause dry and irritated eyes, sleep disruption and loss, blurred vision, and premature eye aging, especially in children.
Glass+ VisionGuard filters harmful HEV blue light from your device screen with a protective EyeSafe layer while providing the powerful impact protection for which InvisibleShield is known. Featuring Ion Matrix™ technology, Glass+ VisionGuard is strengthened at the molecular level and preserves the glass-like feel of your device screen, offering edge-to-edge protection with remarkable touch sensitivity and image clarity.
Glass+ VisionGuard joins a full suite of InvisibleShield screen protectors available for iPhone, including the all-new InvisibleShield Glass+ Anti-Glare, featuring a matte finish that blocks light from reflecting off of device screens and a smudge-resistant coating that keeps devices clear of fingerprints.

Bleiplattln ist eine bayerische Traditionssportart, bei welcher eine Bleiplatte mit einem Gewicht zwischen 700 g und 1 kg auf einen Pflock (Holzklotz) geworfen wird. Wenn der Pflock getroffen wird, bekommt die werfende Mannschaft die meisten Punkte und er darf vor Ende der Runde nicht wieder an derselben Stelle aufgestellt werden, sondern da, wo er hingefallen ist. Punkte gibt es auch für die Mannschaft, die näher an dem Pflock geworfen hat.

Am Spielfeld werden zwei Holzpfosten im Abstand von 15 Metern aufgestellt. Zwei Mannschaften mit je vier Spielern werfen abwechselnd mit Bleischeiben von dem einen auf den gegenüberliegenden Pfosten, mit dem Ziel so nah wie möglich an ihn zu kommen oder ihn zu treffen. Meisterschaften wurden vor dem Zweiten Weltkrieg ausgetragen und die frühesten Belege für die Existenz der Sportart sind von 1819. Sie ist in Ober- und Niederbayern, sowie in der Oberpfalz verbreitet.

Some how it would be fitting if Mitsubishi becomes the first automaker to reintroduce electric vehicles to the U.S. According to Autoblog, which is quoting* Automotive News*, Mitsubishi is readying a lithium ion battery-powered EV for Japan.
Mitsubishi's background in electronics bode well in creating an electric car. Of course building an electric car is more complex than a TV, but Mitsubishi has companies in manufacturing, electronics etc. and the financial resources to pull it off.
Mitsubishi will be racing alongside Tesla Motors to capture prospective EV buyers, albeit at different ends of the consumer chain. Tesla just won a "Breakthrough" award from Popular Mechanics.
If plug-in hybrids are a success they could make EVs less attractive given the flexibility of multiple power sources. They are not mutually exclusive, but a vehicle that uses electricity most of the time and has unlimited range (via easy refueling) is tough to beat.

A new business is testing whether it can sell a product that looks and tastes like chicken but has no chicken in it.
A full production line at Beyond Meat began recently in a former warehouse near Columbia.

Ranking high on the nutritional chart, leeks are a popular remedy for several ailments. They are highly nourishing, inexpensive and plentiful. Used in various forms, from soup to beurek, leeks can add aroma, flavor and richness to almost any recipe. Its syrup, seeds and juice also have a distinct place in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.
With the unique combination of flavonoids and sulfur-containing nutrients, leeks make an important component in your diet. Scientifically known as Allium porrum, leeks belong to the family of onion, garlic, shallots and scallions.Leeks are packed with essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and dietary fiber.
It is widely consumed in many parts of Europe, America and Asia. Though they are available throughout the year, they are at their best during the early part of the spring season.
Leeks contain an impressive amount of flavonoids, particularly kaempherol, and considerable amounts of sulfur. In addition, they are quite rich in vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber, and low in calories. Their nutritional chart is explained below.
Carbohydrates: Carbohydrates are one of the most abundant macronutrients in leeks. A medium-sized leek provides about 10-12 gms of carbohydrates. Out of these, 3 gms are sugars and the rest is complex, slow-digesting carbohydrate. Leeks are also a good source of fiber which is a non-digestible form of carbohydrate. This fiber aids in digestion and helps prevent certain cancers and heart diseases.
Vitamins: Leeks contain plenty of folates and vitamin C. Raw leeks provide twice as much of these vitamins as the same amount of cooked leeks. They are also excellent sources of vitamins K and B6. The folate found in leeks is partly present in the bioactive form of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF).
Minerals: Leeks are rich in minerals like potassium, calcium and phosphorus. Potassium is vital for nerve function and energy production whereas calcium and phosphorus help strengthen your teeth and bones. Leeks also contain iron which is vital for hemoglobin synthesis and enzymatic reactions related to energy production.
Protein: Leeks are relatively low in protein. 100 grams of leek, including the shaft and lower leaves, provides just about 1 gm of protein.
Fat: Leeks are extremely low in fat with a medium-sized leek providing less than half a gram of fat. Moreover, the few fats it contains are mostly polyunsaturated fats which are beneficial for your heart and reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Leeks are rich in dietary fiber, folic acid, calcium, potassium and vitamin C. They are easily digestible as compared to onions. Now, let's look at the leeks benefits.
Leeks are a natural diuretic and detoxify your skin by trapping harmful substances and flushing them out of your body. They perfect cleanse your body, making your skin look radiant.
The green leaves of leek contain 100 times more beta-carotene and twice as much vitamin C as in the white parts. This combination of vitamins A, C and E as well as other powerful antioxidants in leeks protects your skin against damage by free radicals and harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun.
Leeks are a good source of minerals like manganese, iron, vitamin C and folates. Consumption of leeks adds health to your hair.
Leeks are an important source of iron which helps the hair follicles to grow. They are also rich in vitamin C that promotes the absorption of iron by the body. Deficiency of iron can cause anemia which is one of the causes for hair loss.
Leeks contain a flavonoid, kaempherol, which protects the linings of the blood vessels against free radicals. Kaempherol stimulates the production of nitric oxide which acts as a natural dilator and relaxant of the blood vessels. It allows the blood vessels to rest and decreases the risk of hypertension. Leeks contain a generous amount of vitamin K which benefits every tissue in your body. Low levels of vitamin K can induce bleeding and adversely affect blood circulation.
High content of vitamin K in leeks activates osteocalcin, a protein that is vital for bone health. A cup of leeks provides about 42 microgram of vitamin K which is 47 and 34 percent of the daily recommended amount for women and men respectively.
High levels of homocysteine in the blood can increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as coronary artery disease and atherosclerosis. Leeks contain a bioactive form of folate called 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, which has been shown to lower the concentration of homocysteine in the blood. Kaempherol present in leeks also improves heart health by reducing the production of nitric oxide.
Chronic inflammation is detrimental for heart health. Vitamin K has anti-inflammatory properties that can fight against chronic inflammatory diseases such as diabetes, obesity and rheumatoid arthritis. Abundance of vitamin K in leeks prevents chronic inflammatory diseases and unwanted calcification of the arteries. Besides vitamin K, vitamin B6 in leeks also provides anti-inflammatory benefits.
A prebiotic, leekshelp in digestion, and stimulates and strengthens the stomach, kidneys and gut. Fibrous vegetables like leeks enable you to eat slowly, hence properly digest your food. This prevents overeating and makes you feel full.
Leeks are a good source of allyl sulfides which can inhibit pathways associated with the formation of malignant tumors. Like other members of the allium family, they may play an important role in preventing certain types of cancer. They can also reduce the risk of prostate, colon and ovarian cancer.
Leeks help in weight loss and fight obesity as they are low in calories and fat-free. Leeks are a natural appetite suppressant. Their high fiber content suppresses your hunger by providing a feeling of fullness. Both soluble and insoluble fibers present in leeks regulate intestinal activity and reduce bloating. It can also be added to your recipes to get that extra flavor without adding calories, proving beneficial for those who want to slim down.
Leeks are a good source of lutein and zeaxanthin. These compounds are vital for healthy eyesight. They protect your eye tissues from the harmful oxidation of DNA and cell membranes, by filtering out harmful light rays while they enter your eyes. The consumption of leeks in adequate amounts protects your eyes from cataracts and age-related macular degeneration.
Leeks are rich in vitamin B9, also known as folate (folic acid). Folates form an important part of the diet of pregnant women. They are essential for the production of new DNA which is needed for formation of new cells. Folates also promote healthy neural tube formation, adequate birth weight and proper development of the face, heart, spine and brain.
Fiber plays an important role in reducing cholesterol levels by promoting easy bowel movements. It also helps to flush out the extra cholesterol from the body and reduces the production of cholesterol in the liver. Leeks have antiseptic properties that help the body fight infection. Thus, they help lower LDL cholesterol and increase HDL cholesterol. Here is another good post on home remedies for reducing cholesterol.
Leeks are valuable sources of antioxidants such as polyphenols. These antioxidants help fight against free radicals, preventing ageing and many chronic diseases. A serving of 100 grams fresh leeks provides about 3 mg gallic acid equivalents (GAE).
Leeks along with onions, garlic and celery are knownfor centuries, for their aphrodisiac effects.Make a juice with leeks and celery, and you will be surprised to see the difference.
Due to the presence of volatile oils, leek juice has a balsamic action on the respiratory tract. Thus, it can relieve the symptoms associated with flu, cold and hay fever.
Magnesium, phosphorous and folate are important nutrients needed for healthy functioning of the nervous system. Leeks being rich in these vitamins and minerals help improve concentration, memory and the brain's ability to process information.
Cut it into thin slices and addto a variety of salads.
Make leek juice from the stalk, bulb, and leaves.
Prepare soups, pottages, broths, omelettes and sauces.
The stalks can be steamed and sautéed along with other vegetables in stir-fry recipes.

Joan Blondell and Glenda Farrell star as spunky stage buddies Mae Knight and Sadie Appleby in this pre-code comedy. Down on their luck financially, the girls fake an illness in Mae's family to con money out of male friend. The catch is, there is no illness to be found — the girls really use the money to head down to Havana and essentially become gold diggers.
This isn't the best Blondell flick. She's was a phenomenal comedic actress, especially during the pre-code era, and she has a whole lot of films that top this one by far.
Blondell and Farrell are a fantastic pair, however, matching each other in terms of both sass and wit.
Neither of them stand out as the star of the show, which is usually not the case in Blondell's films. She nearly always takes the cake and wins the audience over, stealing many of the scenes. Miraculously, Farrell is able to compete. They work very well together.
The film also boasts quite a few great dance numbers. The opening number is the greatest of them.
With no stand-out plot elements or big laughs going for it, Havana Widows is a pretty typical pre-code comedy. It's still a fun watch, and a very enjoyable way to spend a little over an hour of your time.

The well here in Clogher is named after St Attracta. In local foklore she is believed to have slain a serpent at the site of the well. A serpent is usually a fertility symbol and along the top of the wall are several cursing or cure stones known locally as the 'serpents eggs'. Traditionally, a woman wishing to have children would bring a stone home with her and return it later after giving birth. These cure stones are now cemented into the top of the wall. Sadly on our visit the well seemed neglected and badly needed some care and attention.
It is such a pity as the well has some very interesting features besides the cure stones. Built into the face of the well house are five very worn cross slabs, the best of these bears a crucifixion scene, see above. Inside the well house sits a huge boulder with a large bullaun that is about 0.3 metres deep and approximately a quarter of a metre in diameter. The well is one of a number of interesting sites in the Clogher area, another being the nearby Clogher Stone Fort. We tried to visit there also but due to very wet ground the site was inaccessible. Hopefully we will be able to call back to Clogher in the summer months, when the holy well might also be in better condition.
Situated: From Ballaghderren on the N5 head towards Monasteraden the well is situated about a kilometre before Monasteraden, on your left.

GPtip42day - How do I reconcile a cash account with no transactions for the period?
GP provides a way to 'Reconcile' summary and detail data within the application. Each module has its own Reconcile utility. For instance, Tools>Utilities>Financial>Reconcile opens the Reconcile Financial Information window.
Mariano Gomez had a great piece of advice on the Newsgroup regarding ACH batches and Bank Rec so I decided to formalize it and turn this into a Weekly Dynamic.
Dynamics GP 10 introduced new, Excel based, functionality to reconcile AP to the GL (Dynamics GP-Tools-Routines-Financial-Reconcile to GL). Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to work correctly if there are outstanding transactions paid by credit card.
How to setup all modules to be 100% reconciled to GL?
GPTip42day - In which order should I run the Reconcile Utilities in GP?
This situation presents us with a unique set of circumstances as you can not restrict the Receivables aged trial balance by account. It can be restricted by payment priority and class so with some forethought and planning you could have debtor classes set up that use a specific control account or something similar along the lines of payment priority. If you have not done this or you think some transactions may have been miss posted then using smartlists would be your next best thing.
In Smartlists you can create a report for the receivables transactions based on the system date range and then create a report for GL (account transactions) for the system date range. This way, you can compare when the information was physically entered in the system (even with a different document date between modules). If one of the modules has the transaction posted and the other is missing, you can determine if the transactions were posted with a different date in GL than in receivables.
Amy Walsh has coverage of the Reconcile to GL features in Dynamics GP over at DynamicsCare.

Home Community Spotlight Academy Awards Will Have New Diversity Guidelines
Academy Awards Will Have New Diversity Guidelines
( ENSPIRE Community Spotlight ) New Oscars Policies Meant to Increase Diversity
ENSPIRE Contributor: Logan Floyd
The people behind the Oscars recently announced that they are taking steps to ensure the award ceremony will be more diverse in the future. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences said on Tuesday that in 2024, films have to meet new criteria to qualify for the Academy Award for Best Picture. This decision came partly as a reaction to the #OscarsSoWhite controversy, which revealed systemic issues within the award ceremony and the Academy itself that its members have since sought to address.
With this new set of policies, films that want to consider for Best Picture must meet at least two of four benchmarks. The first is that they must feature actors from minority groups in main roles, or else have a cast in which people from underrepresented groups make up a third of the members. The second is similar to the first but instead applies to those working behind the scenes, i.e., film crews, costume designers, special effects artists, and others.
The third and fourth benchmarks technically apply to the distributor rather than the film itself. The third requires that entry-level affirmative action, including paid apprenticeships, internships, and career development, be offered for both white-collar and blue-collar jobs. The fourth requires that the production company feature diverse seniority when it comes to its staff in marketing, publicity, and distribution.
Supporters of the Academy's new rules say that they will help increase diversity through regulation, forcing filmmakers and film studios to change their hiring practices in a way that will increase representation. Despite criticisms that these requirements could stifle creativity, advocates argue that the requirements are not restrictive enough to prevent projects from being made.
One of the problems, though, is that it may only be larger studios that can adapt to these changes. Smaller production companies and indie filmmakers do not have access to the same kind of resources concerning hiring as larger companies, nor can they always offer the paid internships and apprenticeships that the new policies require.
Moreover, there is no guarantee that these guidelines will have any meaningful impact on diversity. Some argue that the new policies will not result in any significant change and that future Oscar-nominated films will not look much different from what we have seen in the past few years. This is not necessarily a bad thing, as the Oscars have already become increasingly diverse in recent years, with half of the Best Picture winners since 2010 having starred non-white leads. Ultimately, whether the new policies will lead to a further increase in diversity remains to be seen.
Regardless of what effect it may have on future Oscars, the Academy's attempts at increasing diversity are at the very least a step in the right direction. If the #OscarsSoWhite controversy did nothing else, it seems to have implanted the idea in the Academy that an increasingly diverse country demands a Hollywood that can represent that diversity. Hopefully, as the new policies take effect, that message will hit home for veterans and up-and-coming film creators alike.

ALJ uses U of M campus as setting for first novel
Washtenaw County Legal News
By Jo Mathis
A U.S. administrative law judge says her years at the University of Michigan were so memorable, she used the Ann Arbor campus as the setting for her first novel.
"People have asked, 'Why not set it in law school?'" said U.S. Administrative Law Judge Debra H. Goldstein of Birmingham, Ala. "But to have a series, I thought they should go to undergrad first. And there's no better one than my own."
Goldstein traveled to Ann Arbor this past weekend, where the Michigan grad signed copies of "Maze in Blue," a murder mystery set on the U-M campus in the 1970s.
Goldstein attended U-M from 1970 to 1973, and included such familiar haunts as the Diag, her dormitory, and the Michigan Law School in her whodunit.
How did Goldstein -- a judge, author, litigator, wife, stepmom, mother of twins, and a civic volunteer -- find find time to write a book?
About 10 years ago, she was invited to use a friend's beach condo for a weekend with the sole purpose of starting the book she had in her head.
By the time she went home, she had a beginning, a middle and an end. She wrote on vacation and late at night, and many rewrites later, she also had a publisher.
The main character of her book finds her carefree college life shattered when she discovers her best friend Helen dead. While trying to solve the murder, she realizes her own life is in danger.
The book came together and found a publisher only after some difficult editing.
"I had to figure out how to kill someone without waiting to page 88," she said, referring to an early draft. "I'm a much better writer now than I was 10 years ago."
To add Ann Arbor color to the book, she wrote mostly from memory. But she also visited Ann Arbor twice in recent years when her daughter was considering attending school at U-M. Standing on the Diag on a frigid cold day, she told her mother she was sorry, but she would not be attending U-M.
Goldstein said she doesn't miss the snow, either. A graduate of Emory University School of Law, she had worked as a corporate international tax law for General Motors when she realized two things: She didn't like snow. And she didn't like being a tax attorney.
She moved south and never looked back.
When Goldstein was appointed to the bench in 1990 at the age of 36, she became one of the youngest attorneys to fill that post.
Maze in Blue, the first of a series of Denney Silber mysteries published by Chalet Publishers, LLC, is available in independent bookstores.
E-book and book versions also are available from www.amazon.com, Barnes and Noble and other online sources.

Q: C++ MPI multi receiving I have problem with MPI with C++. I want to read from txt file line by line and depend on mount of nodes, i want to send read lines to them one by one in loop.
My question is, how to receive data, when i don't know how many times i will send data for node?
Can i tell somehow in send function, that i will send another data to node and handle this information on node side?
for example:
 while (std::getline(file, line)) {
           MPI_Send(&some_data, 1, MPI_INT, some_node, 0, MPI_COMM_WORLD);
        }

and then i want to receiveing data in another node until sending node will tell "ok, this is the last send", something like this:
while (will_send == 1) {
            MPI_Recv(&some_data, 1, MPI_INT, 0, 0, MPI_COMM_WORLD, MPI_STATUS_IGNORE);
        }

Sabah is a haven for those coveted sunset photographs that will make your friends green with envy.
It's no secret that Sabah is a great place to get your fix of beautiful sunsets. In fact, even the Huffington Post published an article that includes KK as one of the best places on earth to watch the sunset. That's how lucky we are as Sabahans!
Tourists have been flocking to this side of the globe to watch our sunset. But who can blame them; when the sun goes down and the sky turns reddish-orange in colour, the view is simply spectacular and breathtaking. It is a view that you will have a hard time finding anywhere else in the world.
That being said, which spots around Sabah that can give you the best view of the sunset?
If you're a tourist visiting Sabah, the most convenient place you can go to for the sunset is at Tanjung Aru. It's only a short drive away from the city centre and there are a lot of spots you can get that perfect Instagram photos.
The obvious choice to go to would be the Tanjung Aru Beach. The beach is nice but it can get very crowded in the evening with all the tourists. If you want to so somewhere more atas, Shangri-La Tanjung Aru's Sunset Bar is a good place to go to as well. You can also get a nice view of the sunset from on top of C'haya Hotel at their infinity pool.
But in all honesty, the sunset is beautiful wherever you are in Tanjung Aru if you visit on a good day. For example, the parking lot of Tanjung Aru Plaza (where the photo above was taken).
Kudat, a district in the northern part of Sabah, is blessed with so many beaches. So, it comes as no surprise that there are a lot of good spots for sunset-watching. One of such spots is Tanjung Simpang Mengayau, or the Tip of Borneo. The tip is the meeting point of both the South China Sea and the Sulu Sea, so you can expect the view of the sunset and the sea to be stunning.
Tanjung Simpang Mengayau can get quite crowded, so if you can to go somewhere with fewer people, consider going to the nearby Kalambunian Beach. The beach is just next to Tanjung Simpang Mengayau and the view there is just as nice if not better.
Other beaches you can consider is Bavang Jamal Beach and Kelambu Beach.
Kg. Serusup is a small village in the district of Tuaran. But small it may be, one shouldn't underestimate the beauty that the village hides away. Kg. Serusup is relatively unknown even to KK locals, so that means the place is not crowded with all the tourists. You can enjoy the sunset at the nearby beach, but that's not the best place you can get.
There's a small beach on the other side of the river that can only be accessed by boats, but the view there is absolutely stunning. If you're lucky, you can even get to see Mount Kinabalu bathed in an orange glow as the sun goes down.
You can contact Tembara River Cruise if you are interested to experience the sunset yourself.
After much anticipation, the Kota Kinabalu Marriott Hotel is finally open!
