Home Diaries 019: Mehrdad Kanani
We've taken a pause from our schedule of CD albums due to our local post office closing, following the outbreak of Covid19. We launched a digital series called Home Diaries, in which we'll release EPs and albums by an international line-up of artists, with the music created during lockdown and social distancing conditions.
The series reflects a range of sounds, styles and ideas, as each artist portrays their own reflections uniquely. Each release is digital only for now, as we hope to raise what we can to help keep our label ticking over at this time. The releases feature a recurring polaroid image of a small lonely house, with a coloured filter chosen by the artist for each respective release.
Our 19th Home Diaries edition is by Mehrdad Kanani an artist and photographer from Tehran, Iran. This is Mehrad's debut and is a collection of three pieces coined from his time in quarantine, in which he lived alone. This mini album channels frustrations of cancelled travel plans and the loneliness of living along, unable to go outside to meet friends. During the process and with time to think and create, he struck upon a wave of positivity which he has channelled into the noise and fuzz of these Ambient soundscapes.
We have an exciting line-up to follow and each release will include bonus PDF liner notes, which has an interview with the artist on how they made the album, what their situation is like, what they have planned, their influences and what equipment/techniques they used. There are also additional photos provided by the artist as part of the PDF too. Click on the link below to check it out:

"Home Diaries is an invitation to artists and musicians to create an album or EP to document their personal experience during the lockdown or social distancing conditions that are upon us, due to the coronavirus outbreak. The series reflects a range of sounds, styles and ideas, as each artist portrays their own reflections uniquely. Each release is digital only for now, as we hope to raise what we can to help keep our label ticking over at this time. The releases feature a recurring polaroid image of a small lonely house, with a coloured filter chosen by the artist for each respective release. We interview each artist and this is included as a bonus PDF with the download. You can also check out the Home Diaries series on Spotify if you prefer, which will be available to stream in due course.
Mehrdad Kanani is a photographer and sound designer based in Tehran, Iran. He got in touch after learning of our Home Diaries project, as he had been writing some material based on the sounds inside his head. These were on his mind as he wrestled with the idea of quarantine and self isolation. Living alone, he initially felt suppressed, especially after travel plans had been cancelled but throughout the process and through his work on the sound content of his Home Diaries, Mehrdad adopted a positive approach. Amidst the murk and fuzziness of the opening track 'A Dreamless Sleep', a half-tuned radio broadcast beams out waves of positivity, which ultimately shifts aside for another quiet pause. This gentle smearing of noise, hum and fractals somehow lends itself perfectly to the dreamy melodies that blur in and out. The jittering thoughts of a solitary soul that flit about, like positive and negative electricity charges, have been sonically transcribed for you, the listener."

Out Now! vau – ways of stillness
For our penultimate release of 2018, we welcome Portuguese artist vau with his debut album ways of stillness. For his first solo album, Nuno Craveiro spent four years since 2014, building the intricate finer detai to this electro acoustic masterpiece. The record is designed to be a resting space for its listeners and should appeal to fans of Ghost and Tape, Hummingbird or Ben Rath might enjoy.
This album was announced to our mailing list last weekend and there are but a few copies left at the time of writing. You can listen to the album in full by hitting play above or clicking the link below, where you can purchase a physical or digital version. To avoid missing out on our future releases, you can join our mailing list HERE
https://whitelabrecs.bandcamp.com/album/ways-of-stillness
vau is a Portuguese artist named Nuno Craveiro and Ways Of Stillness is his debut release after having started recording the album in 2014. Nuno is also one of the lead members of the duo Névoa, in which he has performed in festivals alongside bands such as Swans, Mono, Kayo Dot and Anna Von Hausswolff.
Under his solo project, Nuno usually makes music at home, beginning by either playing an instrument or sampling his own recordings that consist of field recordings and past experiments. Once a song begins to develop, he may then record specific instruments on purpose if required, either at home or at a friend's studio for example.
'Ways of Stillness' took four years to complete in its entirety and so lots of experiences and memories are etched into it: places, moments and relationships. All of its sounds have stories attached to them and they are very much a reflection of Nuno's own thoughts as an individual and musician. He considers the album to be the most personal record he could have wished to create but to us, these stories can only be experienced through the medium of sound, as these six pieces imbue a sense of stillness.
The main ideas behind the concept to this body of music, was to create something which could perfectly fill the listener's surroundings. Using field recordings, some virtual synthesizers, nyckelharpa, piano, ukulele, sounds sampled from saxophone, Portuguese guitar, Korg Volca Keys and other instruments, Nuno was interested in making sound almost as comfortable as silence. Looking to create a kind of slower time frame, introspection and self-awareness becomes effortless. These conditions may not always be achievable when you first hit play, but it is hoped that Ways of Stillness can unfold its tiny and unobtrusive detail to leave you the listener feeling weightless as it progresses. Vau is the Portuguese word for 'ford', so he wanted this debut to be a shallow place amidst the water. A harbour in a way, safe and peaceful.

Out Now! Daliah – Holy Mountain
This morning we're proud to have released our 40th record, which means the second of our 20 disc box set series will be due out imminently.
For those who are collecting the originals, please read on…
Next up, our roster of artists hops back to USA as we welcome Nashville, Tennessee artist John Clubb, who records as Daliah. John's output to date consists of a tape release on Chilean label No Problema and he also has self-released material available on his Bandcamp page. 'Holy Mountain' is a curious blend of Ambient drones and electronic sampling techniques, as piano and synth are blended with glitching, light noise and hiss. It also sees the return of our regular collaborator Federica Jeanne de Luca, who has now contributed artwork to three of our releases. This one might be enjoyed by fans of Clark, Tsone or Aphex Twin's Ambient Works.
You can listen to a preview of the album by using the Soundcloud player below or grab one of the remaining copies or a digital version by clicking the bandcamp player or link below.
This went to out to our mailing list last weekend and at time of writing, we've still got some copies left. To find out more, you can click the link below or on the image above to listen. To avoid missing out on our future releases, you ca join our mailing list HERE
https://whitelabrecs.bandcamp.com/album/holy-mountain
Daliah is a Nashville, TN based Californian named John Clubb whose output to date has consisted of a tape on Chilean label NO PROBLEMA as well as self releases work. He has been mixing and recording for around a decade and his current approach is based around simple melodies, recorded on the fly with a portable midi controller and laptop. He then goes through a layering process which enables him to escape from reality as he gets lost within the loops.
John has a wide-ranging set of influences to his sound, however he cites Japanese musician Hitoshi Yoshimura's Music For 9 Postcards as a particular inspiration behind his album for Whitelabrecs.
This formed a starting point for 'Holy Mountain' as John was transfixed by how Yoshimura conveyed his memory of several moments of time into sound.
Holy Mountain is a set of recordings which serve as sombre drones and/or sleepy lullabies. The curious approach to production blends live instrument recordings with an electronic sampling approach and includes tiny fragments of detail such as field recordings and the subtle sound of breathing.
Breathing leads onto how John sees his creation process and for him, writing, playing and recording Ambient music is his form of meditation.
Holy Mountain is a sonic journal which documents John's journey through good and bad, over a two year period. He keeps the exact content of this journal close to his chest and we the listeners are left with a suite of beautiful sound in which we can only dream of how his accompanying postcard memories might appear. As you too get lost inside the loops of John's journey, you can gaze at the accompanying artwork by Federica Jeanne de Luca, which helps set an abstract scene.

Coming soon…Philippe Lamy | Inner Stretch
Recently we shared a preview of our next release which is by French sound artist Philippe Lamy. With a subtly glitch and noise drenched record called, 'Inner Stretch' is out today. Philippe has released on labels such as Dronarivm, Mystery Sea and Audio Gourmet and he has collaborated with artists such as Pleq and Darius Ciuta. His sound is unique but it will likely appeal to anyone who enjoys Entia Non, Janek Schaefer or Eliane Radigue. The stunning artwork was provided by Federica Jeanne De Luca. You can listen to a preview of the album by using the Soundcloud player below or keep a check on our Facebook page to preview the packaging when we share it.
We released the album to our mailing-list subscribers last weekend and many copies have sold already. At time of writing there are some left – to find out more or to secure your copy, you can click the link below or on the image above to listen. To avoid missing out on future releases, you can join our mailing list HERE
https://whitelabrecs.bandcamp.com/album/inner-stretch
"Philippe Lamy is a Toulouse, France based sound artist and painter originally from Casablanca, Morocco. He began recording in 2005 and has since had material release through labels such as Dronarivm, Wist Records and Taalem as well as netlabel work through the likes of Audio Gourmet and Nowacki. He has also collaborated with artists such as Pleq, Darius Ciuta and Philippe Neau.
Philippe's approach to sound is unmistakable: he uses a wealth of different sound textures and techniques to build layers of environmental sound. Field recordings, software instruments and voices are processed, layered, processed and then layered again to create a collage not dissimilar to the approach he takes with painting. Philippe views sound recordings as materials and sets about building and transforming them into new objects of living matter.
The resulting sound environment you'll hear in 'Inner Stretch' is clearly minimal, yet beneath the strong, deep and curious sounds lies a great complexity through many 'coats'. The tracks do not hang suspended as a particular sound is stretched and repeated. Instead, Philippe has created something with great variety and unpredictability, decorated with many strokes of sonic material. One moment you may only be able to detect a few pops and rumbles of bass frequencies but before long, a deep drone will creep into view, if only for a brief period of time. Philippe approaches his work with sound just as he would with paint: rules and random, strength and lightness, layers and layers, light and silence, destruction and creation, always trying, again and again."

Out now! WLR011 Spheruleus – Obsolarium
Next up on the Whitelabrecs catalog, we have an album by our label owner Harry Towell under his Spheruleus guise. This record sees our catalog return toAmbient territory but Harry is renowned for creating an Ambient sound that is put together using mainly acoustic sources. 'Obsolarium' is an album inspired by an abandoned Bass Maltings brewery complex with Harry providing photography from the grounds of the Grade II listed building.
Harry's work is influenced by a variety of genres as his music taste draws in Ambient, Folk, Downtempo Electronica, Jazz, Modern Classical and Deep House to name but a few. Particular artist influences include The Gentleman Losers, Richard Skelton and Offthesky. 'Obsolarium' is available now on Whitelabrecsin a very low run of just 50 CDrs.
The album went out to our mailing list subscribers last weekend and most copies have sold – there are just a few left however at time of writing. To find out more or secure your copy, you can click the link below or on the image above to listen. To avoid missing out on future releases, you can join our mailing list HERE
Take a look through this email to find out more or click the link below, or image above.
https://whitelabrecs.bandcamp.com/album/obsolarium
"Spheruleus is Lincolnshire, UK based sound artist Harry Towell who has previously released work through labels such as Eilean, Home Normal, Hibernate and Under The Spire. Harry has been active as Spheruleus since 2009 with his discography starting on netlabels before progressing to limited edition physical records. Over the years Harry's musical projects have included blogging, DJing and more recently, running record labels. He is responsible for netlabel Audio Gourmet, occasional physical label Tessellate Recordings and House/Techno label Warehouse Decay.
Harry has been making music one way or another for over 15 years, with early work being more in the Deep House field when he also used to DJ. In his DJing days, Harry's chosen format was always vinyl which is where the inspiration for his new label for 2016 came from; Whitelabrecs specialises in highly limited edition runs of vinyl-effect CDrs, inspired by some of the white label bootlegs he purchased during the early 2000s. So far we've amassed a discography of ten albums varying in style and next, Harry presents an album as Spheruleus entitled 'Obsolarium'. The record is inspired by the abandoned Bass Maltings complex which is located in Sleaford, Lincolnshire and was formerly used to brew beer up until the late 1950s. The buildings have been pretty much abandoned ever since and due to their impressive stature and Grade II listed status, they have remained an ever present fixture of the landscape surrounding Sleaford, as development or demolition continues to stall.
Harry was simply fascinated by this towering set of buildings and also, its abandoned state of decay which has been a feature in his work for many years. It is not possible to legally enter the premises, so Harry took a series of photos and field recordings standing at the gates and Obsolarium was born. Harry set about weaving decaying sounds of acoustic instruments, samples, drone loops and various lo-fi VST effects. Instruments and sounds used include an out of tune piano at his local village pub, (recorded after everyone had left), a detuned piano at a friend's house, a violin, classical guitar, voice, harmonica, zither, a warped music box, a cello iPad app and vinyl samples.
Obsolarium tells a story starting with the commercial success of a powerful brewery, the rail links used to distribute the produce before descending into a melancholy reflection of what once was, accompanied all the while with a crumbling disintegration. Whilst everything unravels and fragments, the series of structures remain."

Coming soon…Spheruleus | Obsolarium
Full steam ahead as usual and next on the Whitelabrecs discography we welcome Spheruleus to the catalog. Some of our followers/fans will know that the man behind the label is Harry Towell who also records Ambient music as Spheruleus and we're sure they'll have anticipated a highly limited Whitelabrecs release from Harry at some point. 'Obsolarium' moves us back to Ambient territory with the label but with the acoustic sound sources typical of the Spheruleus sound taking centre stage. Harry's work here sees piano, classical guitar, violin, voice zither and harmonica recordings woven into a crumbling ten track tapestry inspired by an abandoned brewery complex near to his home town. You can listen to a preview of the album by using the Soundcloud player below or keep a check on our Facebook page to preview the packaging when we share it.

Out now! WLR007 Tsone – Dovetail
Today marks the official release date of the next highly limited record in our catalog. Next up is Phoenix, Arizona (USA) based artist Tsone whom you may recognise from his previous work on labels such as Home Normal and Audiotalaia to name but a few. Tony Obr, the man behind the project has put together a stunning 10 track album for us in the form of 'Dovetail' which traverses glitched-out electronic tones, mild noise texture and tonal Ambience. For those unfamiliar, this will likely appeal to fans of Maps and Diagrams (who mastered the album), Autistici or Fieldhead.
The album went live to our mailing list last weekend and physical copies have practically sold out already. A few are still available at the time of writing and you can grab one of these by clicking HERE or on the Bandcamp player above. Once it's all sold out, you'll still be able to purchase a digital version – to avoid missing out in the future, why not join our mailing list?
"Tsone is Phoenix, Arizona based electronic musician Tony Obr, who has released material on labels such as Home Normal, txt Recordings, Dark Era Tapes and Myrdal Soundlab since the project began around 10 years ago. Tony comes from a background of playing woodwind in school bands and Jazz ensembles and although this experience is far removed from his work in electronic music today, he likes to think that it has carried some influence into his current work. After high school he studied visual art but before long, he had a desire to work with sound again and began experimenting with electronic music.
Tony will usually start a new track through what he calls 'mad fits of inspiration' where he'll frequently get a flash of an idea, working as fast as possible to realise it. The ideas are typically in the form of experimentation and whilst some eventually fall flat, others will begin to take shape and eventually become a song. The speed in which Tony works is largely down to his experience: not only does he teach electronic music, but he regularly performs live, with artists such as Andrew Weathers, Jeph Jerman and Erik Schoster (hecanjog).
'Dovetail' is a record in keeping with much of the Tsone discography, in that it is free from a concept or any pre-mapped themes except for the track titling and the sounds contained within. This will allow you the listener to unravel this layered set of organic yet multi-faceted tones and noises and decode them as you see fit. Another of Tony's creative outlets is his ability to build his own electronic instruments. Much of the modern 'Ambient' music scene at the moment draws on acoustic instruments as a sound source – whereas Dovetail was mostly crafted using software, around 80% of which was custom built. To round off this package, we have photography provided by Milan Očenáš who is becoming a regular collaborator with Whitelabrecs."

More than 42 million Americans 6 and older—15% of the population—rode a bike for recreation in 2010, making it the second-most-popular outdoor activity in the U.S.
In 2009, Americans made 4 billion trips by bicycle.
Most trips Americans make are short: 50% are less than 3 miles, 40% are less than 2 miles, and 28% are less than 1 mile.
Women who bike 30+ minutes a day have a lower risk of breast cancer.
The U.S. bike industry supports 1.1 million jobs and generates $1.8 billion in taxes.
Homes closer to bike paths are more valuable.
Bicycling can reduce obesity and overweight, which cost the U.S. $270 billion per year.
The average American household spends $8,758 per year on car payments and vehicle operating expenses – more than they spend on food.
On a round-trip commute of 10 miles, bicyclists save around $10 daily.
For every two miles that someone bikes instead of drives, they save society $1.
Traffic congestion wastes 4.8 billion hours and 3.9 billion gallons of gas per year in the U.S., costing the country an additional $115 billion.
For every 1 mile pedaled rather than driven, nearly 1 pound of CO2 is saved.
The health benefits of bicycling outweigh the risks by a factor of 20:1.
Safety in numbers: the more people who ride, the safer bicycling becomes.


This really does look like the final blow in the war between Google's Search Engine and the censorship-loving Chinese authorities: The sword has fallen, severing all access to Google Search from inside China. Even the mobile site is being partly blocked.
According to the Telegraph newspaper, in "almost every major Chinese city" users are reporting back that they simply cannot access Google's search engine results, even via Google's Hong Kong work-around. The government demands that companies comply with "self-regulation" censorship rules, and Google recently made good on its threat to stop censoring its service inside mainland China–part of a series of events that began with an allegedly Chinese-based hack attack at the end of 2009.
Exactly how China's intercepting the system isn't clear yet, but it looks like despite being able to reach certain online Google resources, tapping in a search query merely results in an error message page (the most cowardly form of response, almost–at least an honest "This page is censored" banner would reveal to the population that the Great Chinese Firewall had been in action.) Google's also reporting that some of its mobile search services are being censored too, indicating that the government may be trying to close this potential loophole as well.
Add in the fact that reporters are being restricted about what they can write about Google, that the "Chinese Facebook" Renren has taken down its Google company page, and that the Great Firewall has even cut off access to a Chinese translation of Google's own blog posting explaining why it was going to violate the censoring code, and it looks pretty terminal for Google's Chinese search endeavor.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the turgid Chinese government dug its heels in deeply on this matter. The most we could've hoped for (in a general "go free speech!" kind of way) was that China would turn a partial blind eye to Google's uncensored Hong Kong trick. Nope. The last remaining question, which will be debated to and fro for months now, is "Did Google do the right thing here?" or was its own stubborn last stand, supposedly a pro-free-speech one, actually not quite as honest or positive as it could've been?

Q: hosts.deny file missing On a freeBSD server, I have a hosts.allow and a hosts.equiv, but no hosts.deny file. Does freeBSD not use the deny file? If it does, can I make the file myself or does it have to be generated by something?
I'm doing this to limit SSH access to our main office on a remote server. I tested it out on an Ubuntu server here. Do these files behave the same way on freeBSD? I.e. can I do this on the freeBSD machine to limit ssh to just my office IP address?:
sshd: <ip address> #this is in the hosts.allow file
sshd: ALL #this is in the deny file

I obviously want to make sure this gets done right the first time, since it's remote and it would be a headache if I locked myself out of the machine. Thanks for input.

A: Don't touch those files. Instead, use your firewall rules to allow and deny IP addresses and or hosts. Yes, you can create the hosts.deny and it will work. Don't do it. Use the firewall.
You are using a firewall, aren't you? I like ipfilter best.

A: freeBSD uses a combined hosts.allow / deny format -- you can see an example here of how to do both.: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2007-January/139712.html

Real Estate Information for Military Members...active duty, retirees, and veterans.
Every Day In Middle Georgia Is Armed Forces Appreciation Day!
These tips will help you better understand the VA Home Loan process and put you on the path to determine if you qualify. VA loans are not based solely on your credit score, as there are some additional criteria that must be met in some cases.
It is important to know and understand the restrictions that apply to getting a VA Home Loan. This article explains VA loan limits, down payment restrictions, and eligibility requirements.
Do I Qualify for a VA Loan Certificate of Eligibility?
You need a VA Loan Certificate of Eligibility (COE) if you are interested in applying for a VA mortgage. Once you have applied and been approved for eligibility status, your COE will be issued to you so that you can provide this document to your loan specialist at your bank or lending institution.
The VA Loan Pre-Approval Process does not take much time, in fact you can get it done in 5 steps. This makes it very easy for veterans of our armed services to acquire a home for a very affordable cost. In 2013, the Veterans Administration even raised the maximum mortgage limits in several major real estate markets around the country.
You really need to have kept good records so you can easily get to your financial information. During the pre-approval process you will be asked to show documentation of VA Loan Verifiable Income. This can be provided in any number of ways and from a wide variety of financial resources.
Do All Home Types Qualify for a VA Loan?
Nearly any type of traditional single family residence from modular homes to condos can be considered eligible under the VA loan program. Check with a VA lender for specific details.
Incredibly so. To qualify for a VA Loan, your future home must be inspected by a VA certified professional in order to ensure that the home falls under the strict protocol of the VA Appraisal Guidelines.
There is no better way to display our appreciation for all that our soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, and coast guard have done to preserve our freedoms than to offer them free and discounted services on Veterans Day. PLEASE check with the establishments you are going to visit before assuming the discount is still in-place.
When working with military buyers, you have to understand a few things about their military service. In addition to understanding the basics of the VA loan, you've got to understand how different stages of service can influence their home search and loan qualification. For many service members, military service is their first experience with a "real" job.
Are you relocating to Robins AFB? If so, the information in this guide will help. If you need a quality real estate agent to assist, Anita Clark (a retired military spouse) can help.
Transitioning to a new area can be stressful and bittersweet. If you are moving to the Warner Robins area there is plenty of good information in this article you may need to know.
Sponsored local businesses near Robins AFB arranged by category.
We recently asked our social media followers what they found most challenging about relocating. Here are five of the issues we saw repeated again and again. I've put them together with some tips on how you, their real estate agent, can best serve the needs of your relocating homebuyers.
When you are thinking about obtaining a mortgage, the very first step is finding a lender to work with you. A VA loan is different than any other type of mortgage and requires that specific guidelines be followed for the success of the loan.
Think back on your time as an agent. Have you ever come across a listing that accepted Conventional, FHA and USDA but didn't mention VA? I think most agents have seen at least one. There are sellers and agents who are hesitant to accept VA offers, often because of misconceptions.
Can I Use My VA Loan to Purchase a New Construction Home?
As far as I know there aren't any new home builders who don't have a VA home loan option and most of them also offer an incentive to active duty and retired military buyers as well.
VA home loans are making a huge difference for a new generation of military home buyers. During a time of tight mortgage lending, these government-backed loans are absolutely booming. The reason for the resurgence: VA loans provide some key home buying benefits that, when taken in total, other financing options can't match.
Employment and income will be two major considerations in your quest to obtain VA home financing. Lenders will look at how long you've been employed, the types of jobs you've held and how many periods of unemployment are in your history. Checking your employment record gives lenders a clearer picture of your ability to repay a loan.
Now it's your turn to serve. Pledge to ask all future clients the question and help our nation's heroes take advantage of their hard-earned benefits. "I Pledge to ask 'Did you serve?' ™ to every client, and help educate our nation's Veterans and military service members on the homebuying benefits they've earned through their service to our country."
Both the federal government and nonprofit organizations offer money for college to veterans, future military personnel, active duty personnel, or those related to veterans or active duty personnel. What financial aid does the government offer for military service or for family members of military personnel?
VA loan eligibility for National Guard and Reserve members and veterans received a big boost more than two decades ago. The Veterans Home Loan Program Amendments of 1992 extended VA loan benefits to those who've served at least six years in the National Guard or Reserves.
VA Appraisal Timelines By State A required step along the path to VA loan approval, the VA appraisal takes place shortly after contract acceptance. The appraisal helps lenders calculate a home's reasonable market value and ensures the property measures up to the VA's Minimum Property Requirements (MPRs).
Foreclosure is understandably a bitter pill to swallow for a lot of military homeowners. But it's important to remember that defaulting on a home loan, even a VA-backed one, doesn't mean another VA loan is forever out of reach. The reality is it's possible to get another VA loan after experiencing a foreclosure, a short sale or a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure.


My little boy is two years old today! This is clearly impossible given that he was a tiny newborn just yesterday. I really cannot handle how fast they grow.
This year has been a fun one. We have watched Jude transform from a baby to a toddler and form his own likes and dislikes. He has learned to communicate and to play with other children. He shows more emotion and affection. When he smiles now, you know it is because he is genuinely happy, and it is such an infectious smile. He copies nearly everything his brother does and sometimes whatever Mama or Daddy is doing.
He has had his toddler moments for sure, but the majority of the time, he is flexible and easy-going. He's able to put together words now to form 2-3 word sentences, and that is an exciting thing to watch him learn. He sings to himself, familiar songs from YGG, and it is one of my favorite things to hear.
This is, by far, our favorite age. It goes so quickly, so we try to take in every moment we can. Every day he learns something new and becomes just a little less of a baby. I want to save this stage forever.
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and his "Nigh-Night Song"
You bring so much joy to our lives, we are constantly amazed by how one little person can make us love so much. You are such a happy, fun boy. I see your creativity, your humor, your intelligence, your unique personality blossoming a little more each day. Today is your day sweet boy. We love you so big! Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday Kiddo. We all love you and it was so nice seeing you this summer. Aidan & Myra miss you and your brother very much!
WHY is your blog overwhelming me so much today! I'm reading all your posts backwards so I got his birth story and now all these gorgeous photos of him and I'm all an emotional wreck over here LOL. I guess I can't help but think of my little nephew, who is the closest thing to my own child at this point- I care for him like one anyway. It's crazy how much you can adore a tiny person and how watching them grow up can be such a life-satisfying kind of thing.


PMMS students, Bradley Harrison and Christopher Bautista, both want book 2 in the Maze Runner series. Unfortunately, even though the school library has multiple copies and the school librarian, Leslie Preddy, did her best to locate another copy, there was only one copy available today for checkout. The men decided that the only way to solve the problem was for the winner of an arm wrestle contest. Bradley won! All was in fun and the boys have agreed to remain friends.

Create a man-made F5 tornado for product testing? No problem!
COLLEGE STATION - Storm Resistant Systems (SR Systems, LLC) of Linden, AL, headed by CEO Scott Drummond and General Manager Steve Zimmerman, blew into town last week. But the company, which manufactures components designed to help structures withstand hurricanes and tornadoes, was on a serious mission. SR Systems wanted to test its products in an F5 tornado. But who could create a tornado on demand?
Enter the TEEX Product Development Center (PDC) and its collaborators across The Texas A&M University System. After an initial meeting following the PDC Luncheon Series in January, SR Systems GM Zimmerman explained to PDC Coordinator Caleb Holt that the company needed empirical, unbiased testing to validate its product – in other words, it needed a tornado.
As part of an agency known for simulating huge fires, explosions and destroyed cities for training purposes, the request did not seem unusual. Before long, through connections with Dr. Dean Schneider at the Texas Center for Applied Technology (TCAT) and Dr. Peter Keating in the Texas A&M University Department of Civil Engineering, plans for a man-made tornado were in the works.
The site was the High Bay Structural and Materials Testing Laboratory on the Texas A&M campus, where a tri-directional pressure test was generated that was the equivalent of an F5 tornado.
It's true, Dorothy, you're not in Kansas anymore, you're in College Station.
When the report of test results is completed, SR Systems will be eligible to use the TEEX TESTED mark.


This evening I put makeup on, tracing my dark eyes with liner and shadowing them with a gleam of powder. I slick lip gloss on my lips. War paint applied.
I change into a clean shirt and put on a pair of glittery dangly earrings. Armour.
I walk into the shebeen with its bright lights, cold fridges and scattering of tables.
"Baby, over here," Gorgeous and Lindi look impressed to see me out.
"How's the hangover?" Lindi asks, then tips her head back and takes a few slugs of her Hunters.
"Not worth repeating," I reply seriously. They both laugh as if I've cracked a really funny joke.
"Have another drink, it'll help," urges Gorgeous, gesturing to the collection of empties on their table. "I feel great again!"
I can smell aftershave and I know who it is before I even turn to see Guy's boss, aka the Minister of Finance smiling his crocodile grin at me.
"Baby, I was hoping I would see you," he croons in a syrupy voice. Let me buy you a drink."
"Sure," I reply, without missing a beat. Gorgeous and Lindi look impressed.
But when I remember Kim saying, "Just face it. Guy's so not into you" this afternoon, and then following on with even worse things - like I don't have what it takes to be someone - I feel that horrible hurt bubbling up inside me again, before it boils over and turns into anger.
I'll show that Kim that I'm someone in this township. I'll prove her wrong.
The Minister of Finance is already quite drunk. I can tell by the heavy way he keeps putting his hand on my arm, and the way he slurs his words when he tells me he finds me really beautiful.
I know the girls are watching and it suits me perfectly. I know they'll pass the news on to Kim. Pretty soon he moves around the table and sits far too close to me on the bench. He puts his hand on my leg, and then, right there beneath the glare of the shebeen lights, he leans in and tries to kiss me.
Yuck! I manage to move my mouth out of reach just in time, but he slobbers on my cheek. "I've been buying you drinks all night. Don't play all hard-to-get now."
"I'm not playing hard-to-get," I say sweetly, "I just need to go to the bathroom. I'll be back in a minute."
He relaxes his grip. I know it's time to run.
As I'm slipping out the door, Kim sashays in. She falters as she sees me.
The words that erupt from my lips are fiery and unstoppable. "Maybe you're the one who doesn't have what it takes Kim. Maybe you should be doing yourself a favour and giving it all up."
Then I duck out, slipping into the shadow outside the shebeen. My legs start to shake, and I lean against the wall, needing its cool smoothness to hold me up.
Baby's new friends seem to think the only way to get ahead in life is with the help of a rich man. The Minister of Finance seems to agree.
Does sleeping with a rich guy prove you're a "somebody"?

Why Political Studies
Research at the School
Caroline Andrew has published the book Toward Equity and Inclusion in Canadian Cities together with Fran Klodawsky and Janet Siltanen. To get a copy of the book, please visit McGill-Queen's University Press.
Explorations of how research collaborations can address and advance social justice in cities.
Housing insecurity, intensified employment anxiety, access to adequate services, and fear of personal and structural violence are some of the issues troubling today's cities and municipalities. Often, these conditions most affect residents whose place in the social hierarchy makes them particularly susceptible to exclusion.
Seeking to redress these trends and guide research to facilitate meaningful local action, Toward Equity and Inclusion in Canadian Cities promotes more inclusive urban environments by highlighting and comparing theoretical and practice-based insights. Building on feminist, anti-racist, and anti-colonialist arguments to offer action-oriented solutions to inequalities and exclusions, the contributors to this volume tackle themes such as LGBTQ inclusion, health disparities, diversity initiatives, and urban planning dilemmas. Through a lens of critical praxis the book explores the challenges of collaborations, the negotiations required to reconceptualize research relations, and the ways in which values and practices inform one another.
In light of the growing complexity, interrelations, and interactions of our world, Toward Equity and Inclusion in Canadian Cities is a timely work that speaks to a diverse audience of activists, policy makers, community organizations, and researchers of various disciplines.

Chile is Putting its Energy Data on Ethereum's Blockchain
Ethereum 15 Total views	No comments
Photo by Anna Jiménez Calaf on Unsplash
On April 5th, the Chilean National Energy Commission (CNE) announced that it had launched the nation's first blockchain project. Originally teasing the project in February 2018, the commision said it wants to integrate average market prices, marginal costs, fuel prices, and compliance with the renewable energy law directly onto the blockchain.
In February, Chile announced that they were looking to improve the security of energy data by utilizing blockchain technology. Chile is among many countries experiencing problems with their energy data storage; the current system allows room for accounting errors, not all of which are honest mistakes.
A Lack of Transparency
Another recurrent problem is the distinct lack of transparency in the current system. They hope to combat this with blockchain technology allowing them to certify that the information they provide in the open data portal has not been altered or modified and they will be left with an unalterable record of its existence.
The executive secretary of the National Energy Commission of Chile, Andrés Romero announced:
"The National Energy Commission has decided to join this innovative technology and we have decided to use blockchain as a digital notary, which will allow us to certify that the information we provide in the open data portal has not been altered or modified and left an unalterable record of its existence,"
How the project will work
The National Energy Commission (CNE) is a decentralized public institution with its capital and full capacity to acquire and exercise rights and contract obligations.
The pilot project is aimed at boosting the transparency, accuracy, and security of data relating to the nation's energy sector.
The trial will require the CNE employees taking datasets from an existing energy data platform called Energía Abierta, or Open Energy.
After the software has been used to verify the data accuracy, the data will be hashed and then recorded using Ethereums blockchain. Members of the public will be able to access the data through one of several public GUIs.
The human element in the process means that the data is still vulnerable to human error (whether by mistake or on purpose).
However, its a step in the right direction for the distributed ledger technology, and provides an extra layer of transparency and security that previously was not there.
The ministry has high hopes for this pilot project, hoping that it will reduce the possibility of suffering hacks and data manipulation. According to Minister Jiménez,
"From the Ministry of Energy, we are interested in downloading this technology from a conceptual level to a specific case, understanding that it is considered by experts worldwide as the most disruptive technology of the last decade, and that be part of our day to day within the next few years. "
The reports that have been released suggest that Chile is very open to blockchain technology, it will be interesting to see if they look to implement this in other areas of the government.

The individual begins by standing in front of an elevated surface with a ledge that will bear the weight of the individual. The body is tilted forward with the hands and arms extended and the back and legs held straight. The body is allowed to continue to fall forward and the individual catches their weight on the elevated surface with their hands in a palm-down position and arms bent. The arms are then forcefully extended to push the body back to the upright position. The waist is not bent at any time during the exercise.

The difficulty of this exercise may be increased by selecting a lower surface which decreases the leverage of the arms and moves the center of gravity forwards towards the hands.

Thank you for writing about destitution in America with astonishing specificity yet without voyeurism or judgment. Thank you for showing it is possible to compose spare, beautiful prose about a complicated policy problem. Thank you for giving flesh and life to our squabbles over inequality, so easily consigned to quintiles and zero-sum percentages. Thank you for proving that the struggle to keep a roof over one's head is a cause, not just a characteristic, of poverty.
It has been a long time since a book has struck me like Desmond's "Evicted," not since Drew Gilpin Faust's "This Republic of Suffering," which showed how Americans dealt with their Civil War dead. I suspect the resonance is not coincidental. Desmond, a sociologist at Harvard University, writes about another kind of mass death: The demise of opportunity and of hope that occurs when individuals are forced to leave their homes.
"Evicted" immerses readers in the lives of families and individuals in Milwaukee in 2008 and 2009, people trapped in — or thriving off — the private rental market for the poorest, a brutal world where landlords have all the power and tenants feel all the pain, where nearly 1 in 8 renters in the city are compelled to move in a two-year span.
Desmond lingers on the psychological devastation of substandard housing. The eight-person, three-generation Hinkston family (all names have been changed in the book) crams into a wretched space, which they treat "as something to endure, to outlast" — the kitchen without power; the food rotting in the foul-smelling refrigerator; the roaches crawling the sinks, toilets and walls, burrowing into the mattresses.
"Evicted" does not traffic in tired arguments about racial pathologies or family breakdown. Rather, Desmond identifies perverse market structures, destructive government policies and the cascade of misfortunes that comes with losing your home.
Eviction usually leads to two moves, not just one, he explains, as tenants settle for dangerous, degrading housing as a stopgap while seeking a more permanent alternative. ("The second move could be a while coming," Desmond writes.) Job loss can lead to eviction, but the reverse happens as well, with evictions causing people to miss work, to make more mistakes on the job or to relocate farther away from a workplace.
Desmond moved into the trailer parks and neighborhoods he writes about. "The only thing to do is to spend as much time on the ground as you can, transforming yourself from novelty to perpetual foreigner," he explains. This immersion not only allows him to spend much time with the families, but it also helps him identify the seasonal rhythms of eviction. Housing courts are packed in December, he explains, because "many parents chose to take their chances with their landlords rather than face their children empty-handed on Christmas morning." By contrast, Milwaukee evictions are most sparse in February; that is when the working poor can devote a chunk of their earned-income tax credit to paying overdue rent. "This annual benefit is as much a boost to landlords as to low-income working families," Desmond explains.
Sherrena, a landlord and owner of three dozen housing units in Milwaukee's poorest neighborhoods, emerges as the book's most unforgettable personality. Desmond shadows her as she finds renters, kicks them out, goes to eviction court and delivers unexpected kindnesses — bringing $40 in groceries to a new tenant — along with astonishing callousness.
Decent, affordable housing "should be a basic right for everybody in this country," Desmond argues. "The reason is simple: without stable shelter, everything else falls apart." His proposals range from publicly funded legal services for poor families in housing court to a universal housing voucher system and restrictions on the rents landlords can charge. He makes a passionate and reasoned case, but it is his accounts of people's lives that leave the strongest impression.

    Resets a previous `cycle`_ so that it restarts from its first item at its next
    encounter. Without arguments, ``{% resetcycle %}`` will reset the last
    ``{% cycle %}`` defined in the template.

    Example usage::

        {% for coach in coach_list %}

{{ coach.name }}

            {% for athlete in coach.athlete_set.all %}

{{ athlete.name }}

    Notice how the first block ends with ``class="odd"`` and the new one starts
    with ``class="odd"``. Without the ``{% resetcycle %}`` tag, the second block
    would start with ``class="even"``.

    You can also reset named cycle tags::

With a commitment to celebrating stories of significance to the Pacific Northwest, utilizing local actors and local playwrights, the productions of Bellingham TheatreWorks have been enjoyed by nearly 6,000 patrons over the past three seasons. Bellingham TheatreWorks keeps tickets prices low, usually under $20, making theatre more affordable for everyone.
Bellingham TheatreWorks produced Border Songs in Bellingham and Lynden, based on the best-selling novel by Olympian writer Jim Lynch. We next premiered Steve Lyons' The Ghosts of Tonkin, about Oregon Senator Wayne Morse. We opened The Ghosts of Tonkin in Bellingham and then toured the show to Portland, Eugene and Seattle. In Seattle our production was co-produced by ACT. We debuted Marina by local playwright Sandy Wolf. The musical, with full orchestra and twenty-five actors, premiered at the Mount Baker Theatre in May 2015.
This past season we produced Quality: The Shoe Play (produced at 12th Street Shoes), The Gun Show by Oregon playwright EM Lewis and Steve Lyons' comedy Peaches en Regalia.
Our work has garnered the attention of both local and national media, including American Theatre Magazine, Bellingham Herald, WhatcomTalk, Bellingham Wins, Playbell, Entertainment News Northwest, Cascadia Weekly, Northern Light, The Oregonian, Portland Monthly, Bellingham Alive, Willamette Week, Eugene Weekly, Lynden Tribune, as well as radio stations KIRO, KMRE, KLCC, KXRY, KPSU, KBOO, KBAI, KEXP, and Oregon Public Broadcasting.
This fall, Bellingham TheatreWorks will continue its commitment to celebrating stories of significance to the Pacific Northwest by premiering Steve Lyons' comedy Mrs. Bave Presents the Pig War.
Subtitled "The almost true story of a play that nearly happened about a war that never occurred," at the center of this comedy is the Pig War of 1859, which was a border dispute between the United States and Britain over ownership of the San Juan Islands. This war is significant because ultimately there was no war! Peace was chosen over war.
This comedy is inspired by the wacky, true tale of Emilia Bave and her "San Juan Saga." Mrs. Bave's play was originally presented in 1959 on San Juan Island in celebration of the centennial of the Pig War. The premier of the play featured local acting talent. However, when she wanted to re-mount the play the following year, she found no one wanted to be in her play! Undaunted, she re-wrote the script to be a narration with the reluctant actors replaced by mannequins. Using her mannequin cast, she presented her play to unsuspecting visitors for nearly 20 years.
In our comedy, Mrs. Bave's cantankerous Pig War mannequins spring to life, and take over the telling of the Pig War tale.
The Pig War is one of the few examples in our country's history in which diplomacy triumphs over war. Although tempers flared, the Americans and the British ultimately resolved their dispute over the ownership of the San Juan Islands peacefully.
The world needs more examples of peaceful resolution of conflict. And we have a beautiful example of that in our own back yard.
Likewise, the spirit of Mrs. Bave is an inspiration. Writing plays is all about tolerating countless rejections. Emelia Bave would not take "no" for an answer, even when no one wanted to be in her play! No problem, she hired a bunch of mannequins!! This is a playwright driven by the need to tell her story!
For Mrs. Bave Presents the Pig War, we have commitments from the following funders: The Honeywell Foundation, Washington State Arts Commission, The Bellingham Lodging Tax Fund and The Floyd Jones Family Fund.
Bellingham TheatreWorks partners with local businesses and organizations for all of our productions. For Mrs. Bave Presents the Pig War, our partners include the San Juan Island National Historical Park, Village Books, The Pickett House, Washington State Historical Society and the Whatcom Historical Society. Business sponsors include Zane Burger, City Dogs Grooming and Salon Bellissima.
Our audience engagement programs include a "meet and greet" reception with Mrs. Bave's actual mannequins (and the stuffed boar) used in the San Juan Saga and post-play discussions with Marsha Bave (daughter of Emelia Bave) and Mike Vouri, Chief Historian of the San Juan National Historical Park.
On September 13, Village Books will hold a book tie-in reading of The Pig War: Standoff at Griffin Bay by Mike Vouri.


Hiring the right people is crucial for any company.
But at a startup, your early hires can make or break the success of your venture.
There are two early hires critical to moving forward and getting the funding you need to grow.
The first comes during the pre-funding stage.
At that point, you're looking for a partner. A co-founder (if you want to call them that). A person that helps you get this idea off the ground and running. Some people try to do it on their own, but I look for help once I decide to start an idea.
Once you've got your seed funding, there's one more hire that can make or break your startup.
What you're looking for initially is co-founding talent — someone who has a resume you don't.
For example, I had no travel industry or rental car experience when I started Silvercar. I needed someone with a resume that filled those gaps. So, my partner ended up being an airline CEO who had worked on a startup airline. He had 20 years more experience, had worked for big airlines, had knowledge I didn't.
But there are other considerations as well.
Are you going to enjoy working with this person? Are they smart enough to help you create the business plan?
And most importantly, can they help you get funded? Not necessarily through capital connections, but with the resume and the experiences that makes you look better as a venture?
Here's something else to think about: Is this person going to be able to make it through a long period where they're not getting paid?
I didn't bring on my CMO, Jamie, until we were funded, because she's younger and couldn't afford to suffer through months with no pay.
In the pre-funding stage, you look at all angles. You look at the big picture. You try to bring in someone who's in it for the long haul.
After you've been funded and are in the seed phase, you look for a different hire.
You still want someone who can fill in gaps but has a specific skill set.
At this point, roles are more defined — yet not overly defined. It's more like a consulting team where people have general responsibilities.
It's good to augment the staff with one person who can work in a research-heavy role, because you probably haven't done as much research as necessary.
For me, that person was Jamie. She's now our Chief Brand Ambassador and CMO at Washlava. When I hired her, people were shocked that I brought on a CMO so early.
I brought Jamie on because she knew the data and could do extremely accurate market sizings. Any consumer research we needed, she did it. She spent three years in the laundromat industry, and she knew who to call for more information.
She was grounded in the research. And now, she's grounded in our value proposition because she helped build it.
It's true, there's not really anything to market to at the beginning stage. But she actually was doing our marketing. She was creating the way our content looked and felt, the brand strategy, the materials to make the venture look attractive.
If it looks sloppy or amateurish, investors won't bite.
Nor should they. Startups don't invest heavily in their product early on.
They invest in branding. They invest in the image, the look, the feel of what they're doing. They're don't convince people they can build a great product — they convince everyone they have a good strategy and concept to attack it.
So, you need people who can create structured outputs and do the necessary research.
Sure, there's belief in the concept going in, but you need to increase that belief and confidence level several times during the seed phase to get to the next point in your funding.
That's why it's essential you bring people on who can fill those partner and research roles, who can increase that belief level and help make you attractive to investors.
They may not sound glamorous, but they're some of the most important hires you'll make.

The modern public banking movement owes a lot to the Nonpartisan League. Now you can learn more about the movement that spawned public banking in the US with a new book Insurgent Democracy: The Nonpartisan League in North American Politics by Augsbury College Associate Professor of History Michael J. Lansing.
From the Insurgent Democracy website… "In 1915, western farmers mounted one of the most significant challenges to party politics America has seen: the Nonpartisan League, which sought to empower citizens and restrain corporate influence. Before its collapse in the 1920s, the League counted over 250,000 paying members, spread to thirteen states and two Canadian provinces, controlled North Dakota's state government, and birthed new farmer-labor alliances. Yet today it is all but forgotten, neglected even by scholars.


▪ Once basic needs are met, more money does not increase happiness. I found this so freeing — to know that there's no difference in happiness levels between someone who makes $50,000 and $500,000. If people can just believe that money won't buy happiness, we can start living a richer life.
▪ Variety is the spice of life, and seeking out new experiences, even little diversions from our usual paths, can enrich our lives. I often find myself rushing from task to task, never taking time to stop and enjoy.
The other day, as I passed by an antique mall I've seen a million times, I parked the car and spent 20 minutes walking around. I looked at the items, imagined their previous owners, considered their histories.
Immediately, my week became more colorful. The simple stroll through someone else's history made a mundane day seem much more interesting.
▪ One of the most important factors in happiness is connectedness. Our friendships, families and other close relationships are key, and should be prioritized and cared for.
Community can come in many forms, and should be nurtured with care. I felt a jolt, as I considered whether I'm nurturing my relationships.
Again, I'm oh-so-busy, spending less time with my children as they become more independent, engaging less with my friends. Fewer conversations, less face-to-face laughing and fun.
▪ "Flow" is the state of getting so engrossed in a task, action or project, that everything else around us melts away. You can experience flow when working, exercising or anything else where we get lost in what we're doing.
The more someone engages in activities where they find flow, the happier they report being.
▪ Setting goals and working on things that are hard, just for the sake of accomplishing those tasks, are excellent ways to increase our happiness.
People who set out to climb a mountain, run a marathon or sail around the world, are setting themselves up to fulfill a key component of happiness.
▪ When we help someone else and feel compassion for others, we help ourselves just as much. Is this not the answer to all our problems? Those who can help do so for those who need help, to the mutual benefit of both parties.
The concept of choosing to engage in activities that are scientifically proven to increase happiness was novel to me. I once chalked up happiness almost entirely to circumstance and chemical makeup, yet now understand there's a wealth of opportunity that anyone can claim, contributing to an overall sense of happiness and well being.

This year, Ed Sheeran got engaged and the world was amazed. Mainly because we didn't know much about the normal girl he wanted to marry. By normal, we mean she doesn't live in the crazy celebrity world that her soon to be husband does. It turns out that Cherry Seaborn is a girl that he's known for many years, way before he was even famous. These two actually went to high school together and Sheeran stated how she was his high-school crush at the time. How amazing is it that these two re-connected after all these years and fell in love?
"One of our best friends worked on my tour," Sheeran told Us. "So when we came to New York, where she was living at the time, we hung out and reconnected through our mutual friend. She's great." He announced his engagement by posting a cute snap of the two of them on Instagram. The couple seems so in love and we couldn't be happier for the singer. Wedding bells are in the future and we're sure it will be a big event. Check out these 20 things to know about Ed Sheeran's girl.
Really? We already know that Ed Sheeran is one of the more private celebrities out there, he's no tone that we would see in the news. The two have managed to stay low key for years and it has a lot to do with the fact that Seaborn is rarely seen on his social media pages. Not only that but Seaborn's accounts are all on private. The two obviously work if they have been together for that long.
Nothing beats having a song written about you and in this case, Cherry is one lucky girl. "'Perfect' was the first song that I wrote for the album, it was inspired by Cherry.
The line that goes, 'Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song' was about when we were in Ibiza listening to Future's 'March Madness' literally not wearing any shoes and going mental on the lawn, which was quite a nice time.
19 They Took A Year Off To "Properly Fall In Love"
There was a year that Ed Sheeran took off from his music career. Part of the reason for doing that was to take a break but it was also because he wanted time to "properly fall in love" with someone. "This has been the first time I've actually had the time to fall in love properly," Sheeran told People as the reason for his taking a year off.
"So the catalyst of taking a year off was also the fact that my partner quit her job in New York — which she's now got back in London, which is really cool — but we were just basically like, let's quit our jobs and have a year of forming a tight bond.
Cherry Seaborn is also a Brit and the two met in high school so many years ago. They attended Thomas Mills High in Suffolk, England. The two lost contact because Ed Sheeran dropped out of school to pursue a career in music.
Cherry went on to get her degree in molecular biology. She is working for the accounting firm Deloitte as a senior consultant in risk advisory.
They definitely used to live two very different lives before they connected. We have to wonder why she didn't date him in high school.
Sheeran has stated that the two are rarely apart from each other. We doubt that Cherry would even have to return to her job and that would make it easier for her to tour with Sheeran.
"I've probably had three days apart from her in the last year, but we're very, very strong. I've never been happier.
We are seeing these two in a lot of sports jerseys so it's obvious that they enjoy watching sports together. What we didn't know is that Cherry loves playing hockey. She's actually a really good hockey player. She is on the Duke University website and it states that she "led her team to a runner-up finish in the Investec English Woman's Hockey League for two consecutive seasons." She also earned herself a Bronze and Silver medal when she was selected to play for England's Under 18 national team.
We're not entirely sure when these two moved together but it was likely during that year that Sheeran took off from his music. The two have also been together for almost four years now so it's likely they have been living together for a while. Sheeran admitted on BBC Radio 2 that they were roomies. "I'm really secure now, we live together and we have cats," he said, "and I think when you have cats that's kind of it." He does have a point.
The two were clearly really into each other when they first started dating because they were seen everywhere in 2015. It's a wonder that they kept their relationship under wraps for so long. Not only did they hit up Taylor Swift's fourth of July party, but they also hit up Calvin Harris's party in Vegas that same year as well as at a Mets game. The two were obviously very smitten with each other and they make a very cute couple.
With a lot of celebrities, it seems that they meet the love of their life through one of their friends. That was how Sheeran managed to reconnect with Cherry after all those years. "One of our best friends worked on my tour," Sheeran told Us. "So when we came to New York, where she was living at the time, we hung out and reconnected through our mutual friend. She's great." Those are the kinds of connections that are once in a lifetime.
The two may only have a couple of cats right now but Sheeran has commented on the possibility of becoming a parent. He has stated that he definitely wants kids, so maybe we will be seeing some cute little ginger babies soon.
"I want kids but just because you are ready doesn't mean it has to happen. I think you could be ready for five to 10 years and then choose the right time.
Sometimes you just know and that was the case with Sheeran. He has had no problem with discussing his relationship in the press and he's made it clear that Cherry was the inspiration for the song Perfect. For Sheeran, he knew when he connected with her that she was going to be a big part of his life. "I actually always thought I'd end up dating like an actress or something, someone in the industry," he told Radio.com.
7 She Inspired The Song "How Would You Feel"
Fans loved How Would You Feel, and they tweeted thanks to Cherry for inspiring such a beautiful song. Sheeran has yet to confirm that the song is about her, but the lyrics are pretty telling. "You are the one, girl / And you know that it's true," he begins, before later singing, "How would you feel / If I told you I loved you / It's just something that I want to do / I'll be taking my time / Spending my life / Falling deeper in love with you / So tell me that you love me too."
We have to assume Shape of You is about Cherry as well because the song speaks of a couple who discuss their families. We know that both Cherry and Ed grew up together so it's likely that they know each other's family. The son was supposed to go to Rihanna at first, but Sheeran changed his mind. "I started singing lyrics like 'putting Van The Man on the jukebox' and I was like, 'Well she's not really going to sing that, is she?'" he said in a radio interview. "And then we sort of decided halfway through that we were just going to make it for me."
Nothing is better than getting a holiday proposal and for Ed Sheeran, he did the dead over Christmas last year. We, of course, didn't find out about the engagement until January when he posted it on Instagram.
"Got myself a fiancé just before New Year. We are very happy and in love, and our cats are chuffed as well."
We can't wait until the wedding pictures start coming out or at least a confirmation of a wedding.
But just by a year! She was born on May 6, 1992 in Suffolk. The two were apparently high-school sweethearts but it's not confirmed that they actually dated. It appears that there was just a whole lot of "crushing" going on at Thomas Mills High School. Fate must have stepped in and given them the chance that they didn't have back then. But sometimes soulmates have everything to do with timing as well. Who knows, they may not have worked out as kids, it may have taken them being adults in order for things to really fall into place for them.
Ed Sheeran must be referring to the party that he took Cherry to at Taylor Swift's home. "Well, our anniversary is her 4th of July party," Sheeran told PEOPLE.
"I've known Cherry since I was 11.
