By Liam P. Mayclem–
Brian Boitano—Gold Medal Olympian, TV host, author, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and inspiration for a memorable South Park song—is one of San Francisco's most famous and giving residents, and he is home for the holidays.
Every year for 29 years Brian has hosted a Holiday Party at Yerba Buena Ice Rink in San Francisco. The 500 invitees are asked to show up with a toy for kids in need. His nonprofit, Youth Skate, also provides an opportunity for kids to ice skate, most for the very first time. Some 10,000 kids have participated in the Youth Skate program in partnership with the San Francisco Unified School District.
It's not lost on Brian how crucial this is.
"I love giving back, and doing things for community," he told me for the San Francisco Bay Times. "Seeing a kid skate for the first time is incredibly special. For a little while they have the chance to escape and leave their worries and their cell phone behind," he added with a smile.
I asked if a future Olympian could be among these young skaters. He replied, "You never know. But it's just so good to get kids moving, on the ice and out of their heads and in the moment."
A dedicated mentor, Brian is a powerful role model. In terms of his life as an athlete, he is a three-time Olympian who has won more than 50 titles, including 23 international gold medals, two World titles, two Pro/Am titles, 16 professional titles, four U.S. National titles, as well as that aforementioned Olympic Gold Medal. And what a moment that was for viewers, perhaps one of the greatest in Olympic skating history. The performance was electrifying, with his palpable emotions at the end shared by many spectators.
Brian has been inducted into the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame, the World Figure Skating Hall of Fame, the U.S. Figure Skating Hall of Fame, and the National Italian-American Hall of Fame.
After going pro, he dominated competitions in the professional ranks, winning 10 straight titles—half of those at World Professional Championships. He even won an Emmy for the television special Carmen on Ice, and hosted two seasons of What Would Brian Boitano Make? on the Food Network. His cookbook of the same name is first rate, revealing his impressive culinary skills.
A champ as well behind the bar, Brian makes medal-worthy cocktails. Several appear on the bar menu at Boitano's Lounge in Lincoln, Nebraska ( https://tinyurl.com/3snt638u ). As reviewers at Yelp write, the drinks are "outstanding," "well designed," and just plain "great." Seriously, Boitano's Lounge is worth the trip to the Cornhusker State. (Editor's Note: Members of our team have stopped there during cross-country drives, and loved it. The skyscapes of Nebraska are epic, and the locals have been incredibly welcoming and friendly.)
Brian shared a tasty and creative seasonal cocktail recipe with the San Francisco Bay Times called "Hello Gord-geous."
"The cocktail has sugar, cinnamon sticks, ground ginger, nutmeg, cloves, canned pumpkin, lemon juice with chocolate bitters, and reposado tequila," he said. "It's Christmas in your mouth."
This man of many, many talents loves the holidays and shared a few of his favorite things about being home this season in San Francisco. Here is some of our recent conversation:
Liam Mayclem: What is important to you about this holiday time of year?
Brian Boitano: The holidays are about family and friends and reflecting on the year that has passed; and being grateful.
Liam Mayclem: What gets you in the holiday spirit?
Brian Boitano: Union Square with the Christmas Tree. the Holiday Ice Rink, and the magical Macy's window displays.
Liam Mayclem: Fave restaurants?
Brian Boitano: I love them all as I have many chef friends. However, Gary Danko is special for the holidays and I love Mourad any time of the year.
Liam Mayclem: Favorite bar?
Brian Boitano: I have a regular boys' night out and we like to hit up the Big Four; and Whitechapel is great for gin; Comstock Saloon for whiskey and the old school vibe. For brews, go to Standard Deviant in the Mission.
Brian added, "What's most important to me is to sit down with friends in a place with a good vibe, a nice cocktail, and enjoy great conversation—with lots of laughs."

Beni Hasan
Beni Hasan is a small village, south of el-Minya, where an important group of rock-cut tombs are carved into the high limestone cliffs on the east bank of the Nile. The tombs date mostly to Dynasties XI and XII, although there are a few smaller and less elaborate ones belonging to Dynasty VI when provincial rulers had begun to establish their independent power along the Nile Valley. The tombs are reached via a long steep flight of stone steps up the hillside, from where there is a magnificent view up and down the river valley.
The most important of the tombs belonged to provincial rulers of the 16th Upper Egyptian nome. Of 39 tombs on the upper part of the cliff, only 12 were decorated and four are currently open to visitors along with another undecorated tomb (BH18). These offer a rare chance to see the distinctive style of mortuary art characteristic of the early Middle Kingdom with their colourfully painted scenes of daily life, recreation and military activities. The location of the cemetery on the east bank of the Nile is somewhat unusual – the west being the domain of Osiris. The necropolis was recorded by several early explorers and between 1890 and 1894 was surveyed by Percy Newerry on behalf of the Egypt Exploration Fund. John Garstang excavated some of the Dynasty VI to Dynasty XII tombs during 1902 to 1904 and Nina de Garis Davis copied wall-scenes in 1931. In the early 1980s some of the Dynasty XII tombs were cleaned of their grime by the Egyptian Antiquities Organisation, restoring the wall paintings to their original bright colours.
Tomb of Baqet III (BH15)
The tomb of Baqet III is the earliest of the tombs which are open. Baqet was provincial governor of Menat-Khufu (modern el-Minya) during the later years of Dynasty XI. A large rectangular cult chapel lies behind the plain tomb façade with two slender lotus columns separating the front part of the chapel from the rear.
The north wall of the tomb has many painted scenes depicting Baqet and his life in the provincial community, including the desert hunt with many types of animals. Industrial scenes of weaving and spinning, goldsmiths and sculptors are mingled with scenes of country living – hunting and fishing in the marshes, catching birds and gathering papyrus. Battle scenes are shown on the east wall, along with wrestlers which seem to be a feature of the decoration in tombs from this period. The south wall depicts more traditional funerary scenes, with the deceased's statue being dragged on a sledge to the tomb, accompanied by offering-bringers, but also includes recreational scenes of sports and playing senet. There is also a small L-shaped statue chamber in the eastern side of the south wall.
Tomb of Khety (BH17)
Khety, also a Dynasty XI governor, was the son of Baqet. The architecture of his tomb is similar to that of his father's, but with six slender closed lotus pillars in the rear portion. The east and north walls of the tomb are decorated with scenes of fowling and the papyrus harvest, hunting in the desert and local industries below. Khety and his wife are shown presiding over the activities and watch women dancing and playing games. Clappers and dancers and musicians are shown before Khety's statue being dragged on a sledge.
On the east wall there are long scenes of men practicing unarmed combat or wrestling. The movements can be seen easily because the bodies are painted in contrasting shades. Towards the left-hand side, battle scenes show a fortress under siege, with piles of slain bodies towards the right-hand side. The south wall contains agricultural scenes including wine-making, ploughing and processions of colourful cattle. The funeral rites are also depicted, with the traditional boats as well as offering-bringers and butchers on the west wall.
Tomb of Amenemhet (BH2)
The tomb of Amenemhet, who was called Ameni, dates to Dynasty XII and is a little more elaborate than the earlier tombs. We can be more precise than this, as the tomb-owner's biographical text is dated to year 43, month 2 of the season of inundation, day 15 of the reign of Senwosret I. Amenemhet was the last holder of the hereditary title 'Great Overlord of the Province of the Oryx' at a time when the government of Egypt was once more becoming more centralised. The architecture of Amenemhet's tomb differs from the earlier style by having a courtyard and a portico with two columns before the entrance to the tomb-chapel.
The tomb chapel is large and rectangular and contains four wide polygonal pillars and two burial shafts. An elaborately decorated ceiling is divided into three naves, each with a vaulted roof. The wall-paintings contain themes similar to earlier tombs, with agriculture and industries, hunting in the desert, military activities and funeral rites with offering-bringers. A large offering list appears across the top of the south wall, before Amenemhet who sits with his wife at a table containing all the produce of his lands. These later tombs also contain a small statue chamber, to the east beyond the tomb-chapel. In Amenemhet's tomb there are the remains of a statue group which probably depicted the owner with his wife and mother, with an offering table in front.
Tomb of Khnumhotep II (BH3)
Khnumhotep II was a successor of Amenemhet and occupied one of the latest of the Middle Kingdom tombs built at Beni Hasan. Although he was a provincial governor, technically his power would have been less than that of his predecessor as the Middle Kingdom government of Egypt became stronger. His titles include 'Hereditary Chief', 'King's Acquaintance' and 'One who is Beloved of his God'.
Khnumhotep's tomb follows the architectural style of Amenemhet's, with four polygonal columns in the tomb-chapel behind the impressive façade and portico. The same themes are continued in the wall decoration too, but the scenes are more colourful and lively and make this perhaps the most interesting and distinctive of the Beni Hasan tombs. On the north wall is a famous scene depicting a caravan of asiatics in their striped robes bringing gazelles and other items to trade. Two especially beautiful scenes dominate the east wall – portrayals of Khnumhotep with his family, fowling and snaring birds in the marshes in a papyrus skiff.
Khnumhotep's well-preserved autobiographical text can be seen running along the base of the walls, painted to simulate granite. A statue chamber behind an elaborate doorway on the east side of the tomb-chapel still contains the lower part of a statue of the deceased.
The tombs at Beni Hasan are on the east bank of the Nile, about 20km south of el-Minya. A new rest-house has been recently constructed (which serves very good coffee) and there is a ticket office at the entrance to the site. Tickets cost EGP 30. Photography is no longer allowed inside any of the tombs.

Eagle – 1 of the Powerful Symbol of Native American
55 0 Gift
Why do Native Americans use eagles as their symbols for many centuries? What does Eagle mean for the Symbol of Native American? What makes an eagle special?
Eagles are an important symbol of freedom and ego to US citizens and Native Americans as well. The feathers and bones of eagles are kept sacred for many centuries. Feathers are often used in traditional ceremonies only. Federal members and special tribes are enabled to own eagle feathers.
Meaning behind the Eagle symbol
Eagle (waŋblí) is the head of all winged creatures and the association with the divine on the planet. Additionally, it is a representative of power and the connection of humanity and spirit. It manifests courage, fortitude, and savvy.
Native Americans are proud of their eagle's symbol
Apart from the bird itself, some parts of this specific creature contain essential significance to Native American tribes. Though every part of an eagle has distinctive meanings, the symbol usually displays peace, focus, and prestige.
People use the bones, for instance, to make flutes and other similar instruments for religious ceremonies. Eagle feathers represent loyalty in prayer rituals and communal meetings.
In the business world, an eagle shows authority, responsibility, and leadership. Those who would like to have a true leader, a manager, or a high achiever; always create the eagle or build the spirit like a pioneer.
They have a vision and believe in their talent of increasing self-discoveries and attempting to catch personal freedom. If you embrace the eagle symbolism in your life, nothing can stop you from forcing your limits.
Myth of the Eagle – Symbol of Native American
In Celtic mythology, an eagle is conventionally considered as one of the eldest of all creatures, exceeded only by salmons in age and wisdom. The eagle of Gernabwy features appeared in the Welsh Mabinogion.
The tale of Culhwch and Olwen has eagles. If Culhwch wants to reach the heart of his beloved, he must find the missing and supernatural child, called Mabon. He needs to bring a lot of animals for guidance and eagles are his options.
Gold eagles occurred in Wales. When hearing the cries of this wise bird, it is said that a notable event probably comes. The birth of a great hero is an example of a special occasion. A long eagle on a crag is a sentry and a warning sign of enemies. A pair of an eagle is a peace symbol.
Golden eagles are helpful because we could train them as effective falconry birds. The sizes, strength, and combativeness of these birds require a high standard to monitor risky situations and avoid injury risk.
Since the Middle Ages, eagles were guarded in teams to hunt other animals such as wolves and deer in Asia while these birds were a special symbol for Emperors and Kings in Europe. For that reason, the eagle was also named "the royal eagle". In the USA, people use golden eagles as the Ferruginous hawk because the birds provide amazing experiences with low risk.
Eagle could be a pioneer image in the real world
Eagle in Native American Culture
Eagle is the most excellent sacred bird among the Native American tribes. One of the most widespread features of Native American stories is using animals and the eagle is a prominent bird for an honored creature. Eagles and their feathers are symbols of love, friendship, leadership, courage, honor, bravery, and even magical power.
Eagle feathers are precious, so those who receive these feathers are treated with high respect. Native Americans use eagle feathers to adorn sacred pipes because it is also a symbol of the Great Spirit with strength and powers.
The symbol of eagle or variations is common in the North Pole and Southern parts of Argentina. Although each tribe has a distinctive story, all of them often contain similarities in features.
Native Americans increase the eagle's symbol in a higher step. They believe that eagles can convey their wishes to the Great Spirit and make a special association with visions for their tribes. Feathers provide rich value while the bones are made to the flutes and whistles at rituals, religious ceremonies, and other traditional events.
Some tribes in Native American assume that eagles are the only creatures to see the Creator (God Father). They express words and messages on their wings from humans to the Great Spirit. For that reason, we always find eagles in traditional ceremonies and dances in the Native American region. They never throw eagle feathers away.
Eagles are considered a valuable animal in medicine, killing or hunting eagles is prohibited. Eating eagle meat is not allowed in several tribes. A person who eats eagle meat has become a monster.
Bald eagle, creature of nature, and an American Symbol
The Bald Eagle has been the national icon of the USA since 1782. This is a proud symbol of Americans, describing strength, authority, and power, placing on the seal. The word "bald" comes from "balde" – an old English word, which is the white color. The image of Bald Eagle is a seabird with a white head. Some States that have bald eagles in their flags or seals are Alabama, Illinois, North Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Utah.
Bald eagles are large raptors that are identifiable in brown bodies and wings, whiteheads and tails, and yellow beaks. Their feet are also yellow with sharp talons in black. Juvenile bald eagles have brown bodies but some marks are white, which are wings and chests. As they get older, their bills turn from dark to yellow while tails and heads come to white.
You can find real bald eagles in Florida (along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, as well as around inland river systems). There is no shortage of eagles in Flagler County of Florida and they often fly up near the ocean.
Some sport brands have eagles in logo
Bald eagles have been displayed in many comic books, like Superman, Captain America, and Super Girl. Some covers of other books also include eagles. Eagles have been issued in different versions of coins and money papers. The first coin with a bald eagle appeared in a Massachusetts cent in 1776.
In Native American culture, it is said that all things contain an essential virtue, wisdom, power, and honor. Feathers are the bravest and strongest when it comes to the eagle symbol of Native Americans over decades.

Home Education What Is an AB Degree?
What Is an AB Degree?
Getting an AB degree has become a relatively new trend in higher education. It's not only a way for students to obtain a degree, but it's also a way for community colleges to become part of the conversation about higher education.
An AB degree, also known as a Bachelor of Arts degree, is a type of undergraduate degree awarded by colleges and universities. It typically requires the completion of a four-year program of study in the liberal arts or humanities.
The AB degree is one of two main types of bachelor's degrees, along with the Bachelor of Science (BS) degree. The main difference between the two is the focus of the coursework. AB degrees are typically more focused on the arts and humanities, while BS degrees are more focused on science, technology, engineering, and math.
Some common majors for AB degrees include English, history, philosophy, political science, economics, and sociology. These majors are designed to provide students with a broad and well-rounded education, with an emphasis on critical thinking, communication, and analytical skills.
The AB degree is widely recognized and respected by employers, and it can provide a strong foundation for many careers, including law, journalism, business, education, and more. It is also a popular choice for students who are not sure what they want to do after graduation, as it provides a broad range of options and allows students to explore different fields before committing to a specific career path.
Overall, an AB degree is a valuable and respected academic qualification that can provide students with a strong foundation for many different careers.
Depending on your institution, there may be requirements to earn an AB degree. These are usually general education requirements, but they may also be geared toward a specific study area. The requirements for an AB degree are usually more specialized than the requirements for a BA degree. If you are unsure whether you want to pursue an AB or a BA degree, you may want to ask an academic advisor.
AB degrees focus on humanities and social sciences. The program provides students with general knowledge in a variety of subjects, including English, French, history, and mathematics. An AB degree also provides students with a deeper understanding of the human experience.
Some institutions offer scholarships for students who want to pursue an AB degree. Those scholarships are typically offered in the form of federal work-study and grants. Students may also apply for loans from the Office of Financial Aid.
In some cases, students may be allowed to substitute courses with the permission of the Director of Undergraduate Studies. Students may also want to ask a trusted teacher for feedback.
Students who want to pursue an AB degree should consider applying for aid through the Office of Financial Aid. Dartmouth offers a variety of scholarships, loans, and grants. Students also need to meet the financial need requirements of the university.
An AB degree is for students who want to focus on a specific area of study. However, it is important to remember that an AB degree is not superior. Many employers will disregard an AB degree as it is not a doctoral degree.
To earn an AB degree, students should take the recommended courses. They should also consider their strengths and weaknesses and choose a course that will help them grow.
Perceptions of AB Degrees Held by Community College Personnel
AB degrees are relatively new degree options for college students. They are offered at community colleges in a few states. These degrees are a hybrid of a bachelor's degree and a non-baccalaureate level degree. These degrees are relatively affordable and offer flexibility in scheduling and budgeting. AB degrees can be used to meet workforce demands. However, they can also cause mission creep since the AB degree is used as a substitute for a bachelor's degree.
The AB degree is a new pathway to a baccalaureate degree. There are differences in how students perceive the degree. They may perceive the degree as something that they cannot afford. Their perceptions may be influenced by their experiences. They may also have strong aspirations to complete a bachelor's degree. On the other hand, they may also perceive themselves as inferior.
Community college students and academic staff can influence the transfer process. Faculty may have strong feelings about the students they teach. They may also be hesitant to facilitate the transfer. In addition, they may not be aware of all the resources the university has available to assist students.
This study examined the perceptions of community college transfer students and academic staff. The researchers explored what they thought about the transfer pathway and how they perceived the university's resources and services.
The research methodology used a semi-structured interview focused on the participants' learning experiences as TSs. The interviews took place in quiet rooms at the university and lasted between 30 and 90 minutes. The interviewer was a researcher with experience in qualitative studies. He asked a series of questions and facilitated discussions in focus groups. The interviewer used the interview guide based on a literature review to guide participants' responses.
AB Degrees are Part of The Process Through Which New Meanings are Negotiated
AB degrees are the Bachelor of Arts degrees, shortened as AB. It is a college degree that emphasizes the social and humanities subjects. It also offers a broad course of study on a specific major. These courses help shape the student's reasoning and critical thinking skills.
Choosing a degree program can be difficult. Many students have a hard time adjusting to college life. This is especially true for teenagers. You have to be sure you have selected the right program, and you also have to be prepared to spend a lot of time writing your application and making sure you have all your transcripts and other documents ready to submit to the admissions committee. You also need to make sure your personal statement is up to par. It is one of the most important parts of your college application, and it can help you to show admissions committees that you are a great candidate for the program.
If you are interested in a career in psychology, you will need to take math and science classes. You will also need to take English, history, and literature courses. The classes will concentrate on theories of the human mind and behavior. These courses also focus on human emotions and feelings. During undergraduate study, you will be required to take physics, mathematics, and English literature classes. These are essential courses, as you cannot avoid algebraic equations and mathematical concepts.
If you want to study at a prestigious college, you may be awarded an AB degree. Many of the most prestigious institutions award these degrees. They are also a step up from the traditional BA degree.
AB Degrees are Relatively New
AB degrees are the newest addition to higher education in the United States. They combine non-baccalaureate level degrees and applied associate of science courses to help students develop advanced technical and higher-order thinking skills. The AB degree is considered to be the best option for students who know they want to specialize in a single subject. AB degrees also are often cheaper than going away to college and maybe a better option for place-bound learners.
AB degrees are designed to help students prepare for advanced technical careers. This program of study is usually aligned with students' interests in careers that require a bachelor's degree. These degrees are also popular among students because they are relevant to the workforce. Some employers even pay for employees' tuition to enter AB programs. AB degrees are also designed to improve the transfer of associate to bachelor's degrees. However, the requirements for these programs are still unclear.
AB degrees are more likely to include additional coursework that isn't as technical or managerial as other degrees. This is because the program is meant to address a specific workforce need rather than provide generalized knowledge. AB degrees are also typically cheaper than traditional bachelor's degree programs. The majority of institutions in the United States offer AB degrees, although this may vary from state to state. However, the majority of AB programs are designed to meet the needs of students who want to pursue a bachelor's degree.
Although these programs are relatively new, they are increasing in popularity in the U.S. They are not for everyone. They are the best option for students who want to specialize in a single subject, are considering a career in a specific field, or are full-time employed and need a higher education credential to advance their career.
What is better AB or BS?
Although neither degree is superior than the other, it can be more appropriate for a particular career. For instance, students wishing to pursue technical employment might require a BS in order to apply to graduate programmes. Undergraduates can choose between a BA and a BS in various majors. For instance, both options are offered in a lot of psychology degrees.
What is an AB from Harvard?
The Artium Baccalaureus is the end goal of most majors (AB). The Scientiae Baccalaureus is sometimes given (SB). The New England Conservatory of Music or the Berklee College of Music both offer dual degree programmes that allow students to complete both a Harvard AB and a Master of Music (MM) in five years.
What's the difference between AB and BA?
The only difference between these two degrees, which both imply "bachelor of arts," is the sequence in which they were written. A BA degree and an AB degree are equivalent.
What is a AB vs a BBA?
How are AB and BBA degrees different from one another? The main difference is that the AB offers liberal arts electives while the BBA demands electives in business. The only difference between the economics courses is the selection of electives you choose.
Is an AB degree a bachelors?
A bachelor's degree in the arts, or in some circumstances other subjects, is known as a bachelor of arts (BA or AB; from the Latin baccalaureus artium, baccalaureus in artibus, or artium baccalaureus).

Norman Zammitt (1931–2007) was born in Toronto, Canada, raised on an American Indian reservation in New York State, and moved to California with his family in 1945. He studied at Pasadena City College and went on to earn his MFA at Otis Art Institute in 1961, where he created collages and abstract paintings inspired by the landscape. In 1964 Zammitt turned from oil paint to acrylic plastic resin, producing box-like sculptures that explored color and transparency. By the early 1970s, he returned to painting, continuing his investigations of color relationships through precisely rendered striped paintings. Zammitt's nearly mathematical color combinations produce the illusion of deep dimensionality and dramatic optical effects.

Q: Windows 10: Run certain applications at a different scaling level I bought a 24" 4k/UltraHD monitor a while ago and used it with Windows 8.1 at 200% scaling. With most modern applications I use, the scaling worked fine and the crisp text was a blessing for my eyes.
Unfortunately I had to ditch my old-old secondary monitor (19") because it could only scale at 200% which was absolutely ridiculous and unusable.
Now I upgraded to Windows 10 a few weeks ago and heard that it supported per-Monitor display scaling. So I hooked up my "old" 24" 1200p monitor and set it up accordingly: 4k monitor @ 200% scaling and 1200p monitor @ 100% scaling.
It works, but only so-so:

*

*Some applications re-scale when I drag them to the other monitor, but become blurry. Readable, but blurry. All Office 2013 programs, both Firefox and Chrome and Sublime Text do this, for instance.

*Some applications, which work fine at 200% scaling (e.g. the latest VMware Workstation 12 or VLC player), do not rescale at all and are still ridiculously large at the secondary monitor.

*Funnily enough, those applications that have no and/or crap scaling (e.g. iTunes) look fine on the secondary monitor, just like they'd look with 100% scaling. (But look like crap on the 4k monitor...)

The one and only program I have yet found to scale correctly on both 100% and 200%, is the Windows Explorer.
Long story short, until MS fixes this, I'd like to start a few applications at 100% scaling and drag them to my secondary screen just to get some peripheral information.
For this, I thought I'd just make a couple of shortcuts to the respective programs and select "Disable Display Scaling On High DPI Settings" in the properties. Unfortunately, this changes absolutely nothing.
Is there another way to achieve my goal? Or have my plans of multi-monitors with different PPIs failed yet again?
Thank you!

Airport Authority Making Operating Adjustments in Response to COVID-19
By Mariel Concepcion
Photo courtesy of San Diego International Airport.
The San Diego County Regional Airport Authority, the independent agency that manages the day-to-day operations of the San Diego International Airport, wants travelers to know that the critical infrastructure in the transportation sector remains open and in full operation during the coronavirus pandemic.
"Obviously, there are a lot of changes as a result of coronavirus, primarily in the number of passengers going through the terminals and airlines suspending or temporarily reducing flights coming in and out of the San Diego International Airport," said Kimberly J. Becker, president and CEO of the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority. "And the ones that are coming in have passenger loads and volumes that are less. That translates to fewer people parking, fewer people renting cars and fewer people getting food and beverages. So, our numbers are down. But we do have employees continuing to come to work… operating every day and following restrictions (and) getting people where they need to go and cargo where it needs to go."
90 Less Flights in April
For the month of March, Becker said the airport is down about five flights. In April, it will be down an estimated 90 flights, she said. British Airways and Lufthansa have temporarily suspended flights to San Diego due to the European suspension of entry. Countries included in that list are: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland, said Becker. And as of March 16, the United Kingdom and Ireland are also restricted.
While there is no data yet on how much passenger count has been impacted as a result of COVID-19, Becker said airlines are trying to manage their fleets to effectively control expenses while still providing services.
San Diego International Airport is no exception, Becker said.
Delaying Projects
After closely analyzing its finances, Becker said the agency is delaying about $130 million worth of projects in its "Capital Improvement Program" spending budget, adding that there might be more delays to come. She said construction projects already in the works will continue and the ones that were planned for later will move forward with the procurement and federal environmental review processes. Becker said the agency is looking at projects that have not been started yet to reassess its needs and also to make sure it is controlling costs as much as possible.
"We are looking at all financials and trying to figure all of that out," Becker said. "Everything is moving at a record pace. Every time we think we have a plan together, something new happens and requires for us to hit the planning board again."
When looking at immediate adjustments, Becker said the airport has already closed most of its food and beverage shops as well as specialty stores. She said most retail, food and beverage places opted to close on their own because of decreased traffic levels. She added that those that are open have reduced their capacities so social distancing recommendations and requirements are met.
"What we did is we closed down all specialty retail, like the shops that sell goods and gifts and things like that that aren't essential for travel," she said. "We kept open news and gift shops because they sell water, snacks and over the counter medicine. We kept some of them open in the terminals or in each area passengers might go through so there is at least one place they could access necessities."
Disinfecting and Sanitizing Efforts
Overall, the airport as well as airlines, the latter which handle the cleaning of their respective aircrafts, have all stepped up their maintenance efforts, Becker said, adding that after each flight, cleaning crews are more thoroughly washing each airplane. And, if the plane remains at the airport overnight, the cleaning department is conducting even more deep cleaning efforts to ensure the interior of the planes are sanitized, completely disinfected and safe, she said. Becker added that in the terminals, all high touch level areas are being scoured more frequently to protect the health and wellness of those traveling through the airport.
Carl Winston, director of San Diego State University's L. Robert Payne School of Hospitality and Tourism Management, said there are still a lot of flight options out of San Diego – all things considered – to all cities within the United States as well as Canada, as domestic travel has not been suspended.
This is a good sign, he said.
"There are plenty of planes flying," Winston said, "and as long as there are planes flying, there are people in them, although they might not be heavily packed. But, when you fly, you might need a hotel," and food, and maybe a car and gas, he said. He added that air freight is also still flying, mostly to prevent grocery stores from having supply shortages. And, while that is not classic tourism business, it still provides some level of impact, he said.
Additionally, Jonathan Heller, director of communications at San Diego International Airport, said there are still a lot of college students traveling as universities around the country have asked them to leave their campuses amid growing concerns about the potential spread of the virus.
"Health and public safety personnel as well as cargo are also traveling across the country, most times via air travel," he said.
For Becker, her top priority at the airport continues to be the safety of travelers as well as the safety of her team. She said, while still effectively serving the traveling community, the San Diego County Airport Authority staff has divided itself into two groups to ensure there are always two different teams available to take the lead when its counterpart is out. Even if two people are on duty together, Becker said they are working in separate areas to make sure there is enough distance between them.

Man who stomped car with actress' child inside facing multiple charges
By: Mario Sevilla

FILE - In this March 26, 2018 file photo, Jaime King arrives at the world premiere of "Ready Player One" in Los Angeles. King says her 4-year-old son is badly shaken but safe after a man jumped on a parked car he was sitting in and shattered glass that hit him. King released a statement Thursday, April 5, thanking Beverly Hills police, her friend who tried to fend off the attacker and bystanders who helped. (Photo by Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP, File)

BEVERLY HILLS (KGTV AND CNS) - A transient who allegedly smashed the window of a car with an actress' 4-year-old son inside, causing the child to be struck by shattered glass, was charged Friday with felony vandalism and a trio of misdemeanors.
The boy, the son of Jaime King, was inside his mother's Mercedes-Benz when Paul Francis Floyd allegedly went on a vehicle-smashing rampage about 4:40 p.m. Wednesday in the 400 block of North Bedford Drive, near Santa Monica Boulevard, according to Beverly Hills police.
Officers arrived "within minutes and promptly detained the suspect," who had been "kicking and jumping on" two vehicles, police said.
Prosecutors said Floyd kicked and broke the grill of a Lexus, then jumped on the hood on King's parked Mercedes-Benz, breaking the front and rear windows.
Floyd was charged Friday with a felony count of vandalism with over $400 in damage, and single misdemeanor counts of vandalism under $400, battery and cruelty to a child buy endangering health.
Floyd pleaded not guilty to the charges during his arraignment at the Airport Branch Courthouse.
King's son was struck by shattered glass while in his car seat inside the vehicle with a friend of King, who was outside the vehicle. When the friend emerged from the vehicle with the boy, the suspect allegedly threw a beer can at her, which struck her arm, authorities said.
The condition of the boy is unknown at this time.
King posted a statement on social media Thursday night describing what happened.
"My brave friend Judit Balogh used her self-defense training to try and keep the individual from harming James Knight while glass was shattering on him, as the perpetrator jumped on the roof until it collapsed and kicked in windows trying to get to him," King wrote. "He threw a bottle at her, hitting and assaulting her, but he couldn't catch her. Without her bravery and selflessness, I cannot imagine the outcome."
King is best known for her co-starring role on the 2011-2015 CW comedy- drama "Heart of Dixie."
On her Instagram account, King called the attack "incredibly violent" and "terrifying" for her and her son. She also lashed out at paparazzi who were on the scene.
"I want to believe that we live in a world where human integrity comes before documenting an attack. I'm saddened that the paparazzi chose to terrorize my son and I by shoving cameras in our face during an attack, whilst he was shaking and crying, instead of trying to help," she wrote.
If convicted as charged, Floyd faces up to five years in jail, prosecutors said.

Best Seinen Anime
Posted on August 29, 2021 December 16, 2021 by Omar
In this article, we will talk about the best seinen anime out there. Yes, you heard it right. We decided to make a seinen anime list because let's face it. We all are used to shonen anime. In fact, some of the most famous anime ever are in the shonen category, like Naruto, Dragon Ball, and Bleach. Even if someone doesn't really like anime, they probably have watched one of those during their childhood. However, seinen also has a great appeal. This is because it treats more mature themes and the characters go through more realistic problems.
In any case, we can't start to talk about seinen anime without knowing what it is.
What is Seinen Anime?
The word "Seinen" is most used when talking about manga. However, people often use the concept to talk about anime too. Remember, manga and anime are related, and lots of manga get adapted to anime in a moment or another.
Seinen is dedicated to young adults, especially boys. This doesn't mean that if you are not older than 18 or if you are a girl, you can't read it. It's just the way people classify manga in Japan. In any way, you have to know that it is directed to a more mature audience. The problems the characters face will not be resolved with the power of love, literally. For the plot, the themes will go beyond politics and psychological issues. Some seinen anime even talk about philosophical questions like why do we exist? Common philosophical themes include existentialism, utilitarianism, or consequentialism.
Don't be surprised if the list of seinen anime we will show you have lots of violence.
In summary, there are some elements common in most seinen anime, and we will review them now.
What Are the Main Characteristics of a Seinen Anime?
Not every Seinen anime is the same, but some characteristics prevail, such as:
More character development from the characters.
There are no good or bad characters, just people doing their best.
The plot will be darker than its shonen counterpart.
Lots of these anime are set in a post-apocalyptic world or dystopian settings.
These works deconstruct some typical tropes in shonen anime, giving you an original plot and unexpected twists.
Some of them do not have a happy ending, so be prepared.
Now that you know what exactly is a seinen anime let's get started!
This time, Netflix decides to pay tribute in the best possible way to the career path of Go Nagai in a 10-episode original series. He is the creator of works such as Mazinger Z or (the original) Devilman. If you're old enough, you might remember that works like these were the ones that consolidated him as one of the most outstanding and influential mangakas in the industry. What is even more impressive; his work has been a source of inspiration for many other subsequent works like Berserk or Neon Genesis Evangelion.
This particular anime was directed by the great Masaaki Yuasa and also written by the famous Ichirō Ōkouchi. It premiered on the 5th of January in 2018, and as we said before, it's available on Netflix.
In short, Devilman Crybaby tells about the threat of a race of demons that is planning to conquer the world of humans. The plot starts with high school student Akira Fudō, an introverted character with a big heart, and his best friend, Ryō Asuka, an extremely logical and apathetic boy.
Since the series started, as spectators, we can realize how different they are, and even the visuals make it clear to us: Akira wears black, and Ryo wears white.
The plot begins to develop after Ryo convinces Akira to go to a disturbing demonic party. At the party, everything goes remarkably wrong, and yes, the worst outcome you can think of happened: Akira became Devilman, a kind of demon that preserves, however, the student's human soul.
Maybe the only disadvantage that Devilman Crybaby has, it's that it's not a series suitable for all audiences. This is in part because of:
The high dose of violence it has.
And finally, because of its type of animation. It's exaggerated and colorful. When it premiered, some viewers considered it ugly or weird.
However, we think the dark plot makes it all worth it. The soundtrack is also amazing! So if you want a dark anime with good music and entertaining and original themes, you can give this anime a chance.
Gantz (2004)
Gantz was created by Hiroya Oku and was adapted for an anime in two seasons by the GONZO studio.
This anime is a mix of action, horror, and science fiction. Although the Gantz anime does not cover the entire story of the manga, it is faithful to the original plot.
Now, what is this story about? The story is about Kei Kurono, a selfish and apathetic 15-year-old boy. While they are waiting for the train, he recognizes a childhood friend, Masaru Kato. Unlike Kurono, he is known for his friendly, gentle, and humble personality. He is also someone who is willing to help others. It all begins when an alcoholic man falls on the train tracks, and Masaru Kato does not hesitate to jump and try to get him out of danger. Because of our protagonist's personality, when Masaru asks him for help, he agrees hesitantly. Since this is a seinen, and somehow the plot has to start, they do not accomplish their goal, being run over by the train along with the person they were trying to save.
That is one of the reasons we liked Gantz that much at first. How can both of the main characters die all of a sudden?
In any way, that's just the beginning.
Suddenly, the two find themselves in the presence of Gantz. It's a "black sphere" that will force them to be part of a violent, sadistic, and macabre game. Because of that, Gantz puts at their disposal a whole arsenal full of futuristic weapons. The worst part of it is that they need to learn to use it if they want to survive.
The anime has intense scenes that can easily disturb sensitive people. Besides, because of its nude scenes and bloody content, broadcast channels censored Gantz in some countries.
If you don't mind it (or if you like gory animes,) this might be the one for you.
Boku Dake ga Inai Machi (2016)
Also known as Erased, Satoru Fujinuma is a comic book creator. (The Japanese word for this is mangaka.) And he works in a pizzeria. It sounds pretty regular, but these two characteristics about him aren't the central point of the anime. Satoru also has other abilities, like his immense capacity for deduction. But besides all of that, what actually makes this main character more interesting is his supernatural power to go back in time to avoid tragedies near him.
Satoru is tormented by this uncontrollable ability, and we can only try to understand him. He is constantly forced to relive small scenes all over again until he discovers what evil is about to happen and can stop it.
It all changes when a mysterious red-eyed assassin murders his mother. Only then, instead of happening how it always had and sending Satoru a few minutes back, he is sent 18 years into the past! He soon discovers the reason for his journey: he must prevent a series of abductions in 1988 that could be directly connected to the killer and his own present.
Yes, we know what you're thinking. This plot isn't exactly original. The butterfly effect is already a common trope in today's media. However, Erased presents it in a unique way.
It's exceptional how Satoru's memory is worked with each time jump. Most of the time, when a character travels back in time, he remembers everything. In Erased, Satoru has memory bumps. He remembers specific moments but not the details (Just like everyone!) And that's why he can be surprised again by things he has already experienced.
This anime got really popular when it aired but deflated on the way. However, you can always check it if you want to or if the synopsis catches your attention.
Berserk (1997)
This is one of the top seinen anime ever. We don't know how to start talking about Berserk without saying everything critics and anime fans have already said. Well, maybe one thing that's worth saying once more: the manga is way better than the anime, and the anime does not do it justice.
Berserk is based on the manga written and illustrated by Kentaro Miura, belonging to the epic-fantasy genre. What fans all around the world loved (and still love!) about Berserk is how it is set in a dark fantasy world inspired by medieval Europe.
This is a good choice if you like "Game of Thrones" style stories. If you do, you can't miss this great series that captivated many people. We could say Berserk is a good anime to enter the anime world because of how "Western-friendly" it is.
However, the blood and gore make us take it back. Manga and anime adaptations are notorious for their use of graphic violence content. It is not an anime for everyone, but still, it has gained and maintained a fanbase over the years.
What is this story about? Guts is a mercenary with a dark past. His character design is astounding; he has a huge sword three times bigger than a normal one. It seems his only goal in life is to kill demons, all until one exact morning, he is forced to be part of a band of mercenaries known as "the Band of the Hawk." Quickly making a name for themselves on the battlefield, the Band of the Hawk becomes involved in a web of political intrigue. They don't know that an imminent battle will unfold that not even the Band expects.
Since this anime is from 1997, it lacks some good animation. And even if it lacks many details, scenes, and so on, the Berserk anime is still a great, dark and complex story with brilliantly written, deep, and charismatic characters.
We think that everyone should watch (or read) Berserk. You can even watch it, and then if you like it, try the manga.
xxxHOLIC (2005)
The series centers on Kimihiro Watanuki, a young student haunted by ghosts (known as ayakashi). One day, he comes across the store of Yuuko Ichihara, a wish-granting witch. She tells Watanuki that she can grant his wish, but only if he exchanges something of equal value. Watanuki agrees, but Yuuko informs him that the cost is too great and that he must repay the debt by working in her store.
The story does not have a fixed plot. In fact, the anime is full of small sagas of 2 or 3 chapters in which you are told stories that begin and end. Many of the chapters are unrelated to each other. They are necessary because sometimes they reference previous chapters. Besides, these are very entertaining.
The drawing is somewhat different from what we are used to. How is that? Well, the characters are more elongated and only give color to the important people. This technique is unusual, but it's great because it makes you pay all your attention to these characters to better understand the story.
It is a series worth noting. This work from the all-female CLAMP group (Sakura Card Captors and Chobits) mixes mystery, magic, comedy, fantasy, and horror, with perfectly balanced characters and a story that is equal parts heartwarming and terrifying.
If you like supernatural stuff, you can give this anime a chance.
Elfen Lied (2005)
Elfen Lied was published in Shueisha's Young Jump magazine in 2002, reaching 12 volumes, and had an anime adaptation in 2005 of 13 episodes plus an OVA adapting part of the original work, which helped the series achieve great popularity.
This sci-fi/horror anime follows a mutated girl named Lucy that possesses incredible telekinetic abilities. After years of being isolated, she escapes and goes on a murderous rampage. However, as she tries to escape, she is wounded in the head by a sniper's bullet and falls into the sea. Only then, she makes it to the real world. Then, two students called Kohta and Yuka, discover her and agree to care for Lucy despite not knowing her destructive gifts.
Even if Kohta and his cousin want a life of peace for Lucy, it's not that easy. After all, she is a runaway. Due to that, Lucy and her new friends are continually attacked by special recovery teams and other mutants like her. With all of this in mind, Elfen Lied is a brutal anime. It shows lots of blood and gory scenes. It's not for everyone, and it can be difficult to watch at times.
If you pass the first episode, we think that you can manage to watch it all. The very first episode gives us one of the goriest sequences in anime, and even after all this time, people still remember it like that.
Hellsing Ultimate (2006)
Hellsing Ultimate is a fantastic introduction to anime, and this is because it's a short season and easy-to-follow story. It features marvelous art, great fight scenes, and absolutely top-notch voice work.
Hellsing Ultimate is a series of 10 OVAs (between 40 and 60 minutes) based on the manga written and illustrated by Kōta Hirano.
The series belongs to the genre of action, psychological, gore but sometimes has comedy scenes. The anime also contains a slightly dense and dark theme that will have you on the edge of your seat.
The plot follows the adventures or missions of the royal Protestant organization Hellsing, dedicated to exterminating any vampire that could become a risk to England.
However, the main attraction of Hellsing Ultimate is the vampire Alucard. He has decided to obey Sir Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing, and he will not hesitate to fight against anything. After Alucard turns a girl into a new vampire, he and his master Integra are targeted by an army of Nazi vampires.
This might look like a lot. Maybe you don't like vampires that much, or the Nazi theme is not exactly original. Because of this, some anime fans consider the plot not to be that impressive, but some other characteristics make this anime a splendid classic. Some things like the characters, the music, and the dialogue make this anime a good choice.
Did you decide which one you want to watch first?
You don't have to feel bad if you think seinen is not for you. You might prefer cuter and more heroic plots, and that is perfectly fine.
And that is everything for today! If you wanted to watch a good seinen anime, we hope we made this easy for you by providing this list of some of the best seinen anime right now.

UK needs to achieve a step change in its pace of emissions reduction to meet carbon budgets- 12 October 2009
The first annual report to Parliament by the Committee on Climate Change (CCC), published today, concludes that a step change is required in the pace of UK emissions reduction to meet carbon budgets, and that in some areas, new policy approaches will be required to deliver the Government's Low Carbon Transition Plan.
The Climate Change Act requires the Committee to report each year on emissions reductions relative to the UK's carbon budgets. Complete sets of emissions data are not yet available for the initial year (2008) of the first budget. In this first monitoring report, the Committee has therefore focused on analysing progress in the years running up to the first budget period, understanding the impact of the recession on emissions, and identifying leading indicators (e.g. investments or policies which need to be in place) which the Committee will track to ensure early warning of future possible under-achievement versus budget…
Key findings are that:
In the 5 years 2003-2007, emissions reductions averaged 0.5% per annum: going forward, reductions of 2-3%pa will be required to meet the carbon budgets. A step change in the pace of reduction is needed.
Declining economic activity is likely to have produced an emissions cut of around 2% in 2008, and recession could reduce emissions in the first budget period by a total of 40-70 million tonnes. But recession induced reductions must not be confused with underlying progress, which could be undermined by a recession induced fall in the carbon price. The UK should now aim to overachieve emissions reductions in the first budget period.
Analysis of the actions needed to ensure delivery of the first three carbon budgets, suggests a need to revise or strengthen policy in 3 particular areas.
Rapid decarbonisation of electricity generation is a crucial priority, and scenarios to achieve a reduction in grams per kWh from today's 540g CO2/kWh to less than 300g CO2/kWh in 2020, could include 23 GW of new wind capacity, up to 3 new nuclear stations and up to 4 CCS demonstration plants by 2016.
The report suggests, however, that current electricity market arrangements together with the EU ETS trading scheme are unlikely to deliver required sector decarbonisation, and would instead lead to increasing dependence on imported gas. The Committee therefore calls on the Government to undertake a review of alternative arrangements to reduce investor risks and ensure delivery of investment in low-carbon technologies.
Options to be considered include carbon price strengthening, providing more certainty on the price paid for low-carbon generation (e.g. through feed-in tariffs), and ensuring low-carbon investment (e.g. through a low-carbon obligation or emissions performance standard).
Progress on CCS demonstration plants is vital to assess whether CCS will be a viable technology to achieve further decarbonisation in the 2020s. The Committee reiterates its previous recommendation that there can be no role for conventional coal generation in the UK beyond the early 2020s.
Energy efficiency in homes could be improved by 35% by 2020 with an ambitious program of improved insulation (e.g. covering 10 million lofts, 7 million cavity walls and 2 million solid walls), the installation of 12 million energy efficient condensing boilers, and major improvements in electrical appliance efficiency.
But achieving this program is likely to require a shift from the existing Carbon Emissions Reduction Target (CERT) approach in which electricity companies meet their supplier obligation through specific measures (e.g. the supply of energy efficient light bulbs). Whole house approaches (simultaneously implementing the full range of measures) and street-by-street approaches involving local government and energy companies within a strategy defined by national Government are likely to be required.
For commercial and public buildings, a key policy initiative commencing in April 2010 will be the Carbon Reduction Commitment. The Committee will advise in 2010 on the future trajectory of caps under this system. This policy should however be buttressed by:
Roll-out of Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) and Display Energy Certificates (DECs)
A commitment that the public sector will implement all cost-effective measures to improve energy-efficiency by 2018.
A policy to ensure that all SME's should achieve a minimum EPC rating of 'F' or higher by 2020.
As outlined in the Committee's first report in December 2008, road transport emissions need to be reduced via a combination of efficiency improvements (reductions in grams per km) and measures which will constrain growth in traffic volumes: emission cuts of 30% by 2020 are possible.
The Committee reiterates its belief that the carbon-efficiency of new cars can and should be reduced from above 160g/km today to 95g/km by 2020. This reduction could be achieved by improvements to fuel efficiency on conventional cars, but further reductions beyond 2020 will require a significant role for electric cars.
Manufacturer announcements of electric car initiatives have progressed even more rapidly than the Committee envisaged, and significant progress on battery cost reduction continues.
But to ensure rapid progress, two new mutually reinforcing government policies are required: Support for new car purchase to drive initial volumes and help manufacturers achieve economies of scale; and support for battery charging infrastructure.
In a world where carbon budgets are achieved we will meet more of our energy needs from low-carbon power, live in well insulated homes with energy efficient boilers and appliances; we will also work in energy efficient offices and drive more carbon efficient cars including hybrids and electric vehicles. Taking action will also improve the security of energy supply and air quality.
Lord Turner, Chair of the CCC said:
"With the carbon budgets in place, we now need to achieve a step change in the pace of emissions reduction. The Government needs to build on its "Low Carbon Transition Plan" and put in place a comprehensive delivery framework. What we have proposed is achievable and affordable but action needs to be taken now if we are to make our contribution to combating climate change."
Committee on Climate Change (CCC)
The Committee on Climate Change (CCC) is an independent body established under the
Climate Change Act to advise the UK Government on setting carbon budgets, and to report to Parliament on the progress made in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Web address: www.theccc.org.uk/
Meeting carbon budgets – the need for a step change – published 12 October 2009 – is the CCC's first annual report to Parliament on the progress made by Government in reducing emissions.
The report assesses progress that has been made by Government in reducing emissions over recent years and analyses the impact of the recession on efforts to tackle climate change. It also looks in detail at what action needs to be taken in order to significantly reduce emissions of GHGs in the power sector, transport, heat and buildings & industry, and sets out a series of indicators by which the CCC will monitor and measure Government's progress in future.

It is important to draw attention to the effect on people in the work place of grief through death, divorce or numerous other life changes. Bereavement can be a devastating experience. The grieving person faces an emotionally rocky journey. While it is often affirmed that grief is normal, it is nonetheless troublesome, and often leaves unable to function at work within acceptable limits. Long after the funeral is over, the impact of loss can hit home. Months after people think we have it together, the grieving person may feel like they are falling apart. After a loss, our equilibrium, health and well-being can be severely compromised. This affects us in every area of life, not least of which is in our work.
An understanding of the grief process indicates people are generally in a state of shock and numbness in the days after a loss. Confusing numbness with strength, some people feel support can be withdrawn shortly after the event. We expect or hope people will just "get on with it." Yet, most manifestations of grief do not appear until weeks or months after the event. Because there is not much understanding of this process, this reaction catches both the individual and the employer by surprise.
Most people do not have the opportunity or the financial luxury of taking an extended leave of absence. Usually they must keep on working while they are putting their lives together. Finding energy to do both can be a challenge. Managers and knowledgeable co-workers can do much to support grieving people through this stressful time, and thus dramatically reduce non-productive behaviors. The ability to identify employees experiencing grief and loss and refer them to the appropriate resources can be vital to the well-being of the work climate as well as to the individual. Loss is a fact of life. Grief is the reaction to that loss, and must be worked through by the individual in order to heal.

Songs with the Most Unfitting Vocals
Feel free to add any songs not on the list yet. Only the singing has to be unfitting for the songs on the list, for unfitting lyrics there is a separate list.
Sometimes vocals that don't flow perfectly with the music create a unique, innovative merge between different genres, at other times they don't help and make us want to listen to the vocals and the music both on their own. The reason why the vocals don't fit in these songs are either because of resembling a different genre, a different feeling/atmosphere, having a different rhythm etc.
If you think there's an entire album/band where the vocals are out of place, adding/voting only one song from that album or by that band is favored.
1 Greed - Toxik
Apart from ballad There Stood the Fence, every single song on this album sounds like the vocalist and the rest of the band recorded the songs without being aware of each other's work. Even their style does not fit each other, Toxik is a technical thrash band while the singer sounds like he came out of an 1980s opera-influenced pop group. More progressive-edged thrash bands have similar problems.
2 She-Wolf - Megadeth
Pop song with a metal instrumental. The instrumentals also sound lighter than 1980s Megadeth but the gap is still huge. Guitars aside, this song could easily be mistaken for an ABBA cover. Megadeth did covers of songs from other genres and they all ended up bleary (Anarchy in the U.K., These Boots (are Made for Walking), I Ain't Superstitious)
3 Son of a King - Dirty Tongue
This is one of my favorite songs of all time, and the bit unfitting vocals play an important part in it. Almost every stoner rock band has deep, raspy, slow vocals, while here they are clean, melodic and angelic. However, the instruments are like regular stoner rock. It's a shame this band only wrote two songs
4 Control and Resistance - Watchtower
What I said about Toxik can also be said here, except that at points the vocals even seem to have a different rhythm than the instruments. In some sections they harmonize well, but especially in the beginning this song requires lots of concentration to enjoy. I wouldn't recommend it to anybody else who hasn't already listened to more accessible technical thrash metal (e.g. Annihilator)
5 Absolute Psalm - Igorrr
I thought The Residents were making weird music until I heard this.
The "song" begins with a brief intro that sounds like some electronic rendition of a medieval ecclesiastic hymn, it's two minutes until we hear vocals again (interrupted by a noisy instrumental what fans call a "vacuum cleaner solo"), it is first miseriful suffering accompanied by orchestra-like music, then shouting and barking with electronic noise. What's more, the YouTube comment section is full of people bragging about how superior they are by listening to this type of music.
6 A Moment of Clarity (1996 Demos) - Death
This version of the song has clean vocals. I appreciate the experiment and Chuck Schuldiner wasn't bad at clean vocals (resembled Rob Halford a bit), they just don't fit this song. When I saw there was a version with clean vocals, I thought it would be more accessible and more parent-friendly but it turned out to be the opposite
7 Twilight of the Thunder God - Amon Amarth
This song seems to have death growls for the sake of having death growls. This sounds like a power metal song at best, a mainstream pop-rock song with distorted guitar at worst. This anomaly has stopped me from listening to a lot of melodic death metal bands
8 Blue Monday - George Gershwin
Gershwin made an attempt at writing a "jazz opera" here, mixing his jazzy style with rather traditional classical singing. I find the operatic singing to be a bit stylistically confusing here
9 Mockingbird - Eminem
I am interested do the vocals have to be unfitting throughout the whole song. I was just thinking of Thunder Imagine Dragon's when Dan Reynolds voice is manipulated in the chorus. It just seems so off that a song that is supposed to sound song and powerful has vocals enhanced in a way that makes them sound childlike.
10 Hallowed Be Thy Name - Cradle of Filth
I'm surprised this is nowhere to be seen on the list until I just added it. Growls are not some universal spice for every dish.
11 Voice of Sanity - Whiplash
US thrash band Whiplash's first two albums have a different singer with almost black metal-like vocals, the third record Insult to Injury came with a different singer with much cleaner, almost funny vocals. I put this low because the instruments also became a bit less heavy.
12 Drama Free - Deadmau5
Deadmau5 had a very promising track going, but the vocals from Lights simply don't suit it.
13 Day N Nite - Kid Cudi
14 Speed Demon - Michael Jackson
15 Thunder - Imagine Dragons
I have no idea why they would enhance his voice to make him sound like a kid in a song where he is trying to sound powerful.
16 Children of the Grave - Black Sabbath
This is the heaviest Black Sabbath song with Ozzy Osbourne, yet his vocal style isn't any different than on acoustic ballad She's Gone.
17 Euphemism of This World - Submarine Man & Aj
The beat is well produced and doesn't match Submarine Man's awful vocals at all
18 Keep Ya Head Up - Icejjfish
19 My Bae - Icejjfish
20 I Don't Want You Back - Eamon
21 Kyoto - Skrillex
No need for vocals

Did not some of the Fathers of the Church regard this fire as only figurative? Yes. only a few, among them Origen and St Ambrose, but tradition is overwhelmingly against them. The New Testament describes the punishment of hell as fire no less than thirty times. St Peter and St Jude compare it with the fire of Sodom, which was very real. No Catholic could deny that the fire of hell is real without sinning seriously against faith; it would not however be formal heresy because it is not a defined dogma. What is the main difference between the pain of loss and the pain of sense? The former is the absence of something, the latter the presence of something. You say the fire in hell is real, created and physical. Please explain this further. Christ, God Himself, used the word 'fire' to describe the torment of hell. Fire, then, must be that element best known to us which produces results most like the fire of hell. There are obvious differences. The fire we know depends on combustion; the fire of hell does not depend on being constantly fed with fuel. It depends solely on God's will. God showed Moses a bush which, although it was in flames, was not consumed. Hell fire does not give light, for hell is described as darkness. It is capable of afflicting spirits, wherever they are and tormenting the damned unequally according to their sins. Is it possible to explain fully the nature of hell fire? No, because we have to use the ideas and words with which we are familiar here to describe a world of which we have no experience. Christ used the word 'fire': therefore we know it is the nearest analogy. Sentimentality has pushed modern discussion of hell fire to such lengths of aversion as to make it almost non-existent. But so ancient and so universal is the teaching of the theologians that it would be extremely temerarious to deny its reality. There is real fire in hell by which the devils and souls of the damned are punished until men's bodies finally rise. Then the bodies of the damned also suffer punishment by fire. This fire works supernaturally. As an instrument of God's justice its effects are entirely beyond the natural powers of fire. We must not think of burning devils or separated souls. We just do not know how fire punishes them. St Thomas Aquinas conjectured that the action of hell fire was mainly one of hemming in and limiting the activities of the proudest creatures of the universe. Is not the word "fire" just a metaphor for the pain of loss? No; it is a pain inflicted by an external agent by God's will. Did God create this fire specially for hell? We do not know. It is not necessary that He should have done so. If God exists He is love; hell spells hatred: are not these two contradictory? Yes, God is love. He loves all men. In His love He gave us freedom to reject Him. If we do that what can we expect but the opposite of love? God damns only those who deliberately choose hatred and evil instead of love and goodness. Yet this loving God could prevent our choosing hatred and evil; if He is all-powerful as well as all-loving should He not do that? Yes, God is all-powerful; He is all-wise, too. He chose to make us free. He could have done otherwise. Our freedom does not limit Him in any way. God is not beaten by the man who rejects Him. It is not for the creature to say that the Creator should have done this or should have done that. How can an infinitely good God insist on keeping His creatures imprisoned in an abyss of fire forever? Is He never satisfied? Would it not be better to annihilate them? It would not. If you demand the annihilation of sinners you demand that God reverse His plans; you want Him to stultify His own work and admit that He is powerless. God is merciful; why does He not forgive the devils and the damned? Because they do not want mercy; they want hell because they have decided they do not want God. There is no alternative. When God offered them mercy they rejected it and chose evil instead. Surely after the experience of hell sinners would repent and want God? They would not; they have chosen evil deliberately. What you suggest is hardly true repentance, which is a loving choice of God, not something which is forced on one by the experience of pain. Does not the Bible say (Heb. 2:14) that the devil will be destroyed? The Bible says no such thing. Your text teaches that the Redeemer will destroy Satan's power over the redeemed, not Satan himself. Is not all this talk about hell quite unreasonable? It is not. Reasonable men accept what God tells them. There are few things He has told them as clearly as the existence and eternity of hell. How could a parent be happy knowing his child is in hell? Love that is natural during life becomes supernatural after death. Supernatural love of God is incompatible with love of evil. The child in hell has freely chosen evil. The parent sees him now in the light of the justice of God. What about all the good that the damned must have done in their lives along with the evil? They themselves deliberately cancelled it out; they turned against it. That is what mortal sin is—the free, deliberate choice of grave evil in preference to God. If God's love for men is so great that He died for them, surely it is great enough to forgive always? Precisely; God's love has no limits. It is Himself. But He cannot forgive those who will not be forgiven. A grave sinner is one who rejects God's forgiveness. His love of goodness is without limit; His hatred of evil is therefore in due proportion. Sin is evil; God only sends men to hell when they choose to go there by freely rejecting His love. Is it just that a momentary sin should be punished timelessly? Quite just; the time it takes to do grave wrong is beside the point. What matters is the wrong done, that it is gravely evil and done freely. Surely there comes a time when enough satisfaction has been paid? No; not if the sin is mortal. It is a complete rejection of infinite good. If a sinner knew that after a time God was bound to remove him from torment he would be in a position to threaten God, saying, as it were, "God, do your worst; I may go to hell for a million years but you are bound to have me in the end for a timeless eternity." To think of hell in relation to time is quite wrong. There is no time in hell. Surely infinite mercy cannot allow such an unmerciful thing as hell? On the contrary, hell is most merciful. Even though it exists God need not have revealed it to us. Knowledge of hell has prevented very many sins and their dreadful consequences for individuals and human society. How can Christ be so cruel as to damn souls for ever? He was always so gentle to sinners, Precisely; He was gentle to repentant sinners. He still is. Yet this same gentle Christ said such very strong things about hell. We should take all the more notice of them therefore. Justice and reasonable punishment are not cruelty. Hell is just and reasonable. God has made serious laws for our well-being; He has told us the penalty for breaking them. He helps us by His grace at every moment to keep them. Who is to blame if we disobey? What percentage of men goes to hell? We do not know; God has never told us. Is Judas in hell? It seems that he is because Christ said of him: "Better for him that he had never been born"; but we do not know for certain. Is Adam in hell? It seems not; almost certainly he is in heaven. Scripture says: "God brought him out of his sin" (Wis. 10:2). The Greek Church keeps Adam's feast. God is everywhere; if hell exists God must be in hell: but that is impossible. So tell me do you still believe in hell? I do; God is present in hell as He is present everywhere else by His being, His knowledge and His power.
