Logan Paul Gets YouTube Downgrade: Ousted From Google Preferred, Booted From 'Foursome'
Video-sharing platform distances its involvement with disgraced vlogger
Meriah Doty | January 10, 2018 @ 3:30 PM	Last Updated: January 11, 2018 @ 9:43 AM
Disgraced YouTube star Logan Paul has gotten a major downgrade by the video-sharing platform owned by Google.
"In light of recent events, we have decided to remove Logan Paul's channels from Google Preferred," a YouTube spokesperson told TheWrap in a Wednesday statement. "Additionally, we will not feature Logan in Season 4 of 'Foursome' and his new Originals are on hold."
The two-time 2017 Teen Choice Award winner came under intense fire earlier this month after posting a video titled "We found a dead body in the Japanese suicide forest" that showed a corpse hanging from a tree in Aokigahara forest near Mt. Fuji. He took down the clip a day later, when it had already garnered at least 6 million views and has since apologized for the gaffe multiple times.

"Our hearts go out to the family of the person featured in the video," YouTube said in a previous statement. "YouTube prohibits violent or gory content posted in a shocking, sensational or disrespectful manner. If a video is graphic, it can only remain on the site when supported by appropriate educational or documentary information and in some cases it will be age-gated. We partner with safety groups such as the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline to provide educational resources that are incorporated in our YouTube Safety Center."
YouTube issued a Community Guidelines strike to Paul's channel after he posted the offensive video. The platform also displays Suicide Prevention Resources at the top of the results page for certain suicide-related search queries on YouTube.com.

A person familiar with the matter told TheWrap that YouTube would have taken down Paul's video if he hadn't done it first.
Paul has been a lead character in the YouTube Red Original series "Foursome," about a twenty-something group of friends. Before YouTube decided to reassess its business ties with him, Logan was set to star in "The Thinning," a thriller distributed by its streaming subscription service. But that project is now on hold.
While Paul will still be able to monetize from his YouTube videos, like any average user, the benefits he reaped from his Google Preferred status, which allows advertisers to identify top content and purchase easy-to-buy ad packages, have been stripped.
12 Super Bowl Commercials That Sparked Outrage (Videos)
GODADDY (2015)
In the ad, a puppy falls off a truck and hearteningly finds its way home. The seemingly sweet commercial shocked viewers as the owner then sells the puppy. Outrage ensued, forcing GoDaddy and ad agency Barton F. Graf to remake the spot, dog-free.
SNICKERS (2007)
After two men accidentally kiss, they respond by having to do something "manly" in this spot for the Mars candy bar. The Gay and Lesbian Anti Defamation League said the ad's message was homophobic, and a few years later it was voted the second worst Super Bowl ad of all time by Ad Age.
NATIONSWIDE'S "BOY" (2015)
This ad depicted the unrealized life of a boy who never grew up after dying in an accident. The spot sparked online debate about the inappropriateness of using tragedy to sell insurance. Nationwide's Chief Marketing officer left the company three months later, and the insurer skipped the Super Bowl the following year.
JUST FOR FEET (1999) This was considered one of the biggest "oops" commercials of all time. In the spot, a group of men hunts a barefoot Kenyan runner to force shoes on him. After objectors hinted at the ad's blatant racism, the client sued its ad agency, Saatchi & Saatchi. The next year, Just for Feet went bankrupt.
ANTI-DRUG PSA (2002)
This commercial ran shortly after the Sept. 11 attacks and uses the excuse making that's common to narcotics use to suggest a link between drug money and terrorism.
GROUPON (2011)
Starring Timothy Hutton, this spot starts by highlighting the crisis in Tibet, but pivots to a pitch for Groupon, hyping a deal that offered $30 worth of Tibetan food for $15 at a restaurant in Chicago. The slogan, "Save the Money," prompted widespread Twitter indignation.
FEDEX (2008)
This "Wizard of Oz"-inspired commercial was banned for allegedly encouraging viewers to huff substances.
TIM TEBOW FOR FOCUS ON THE FAMILY (2010)
The NFL star and his mother starred in this ad discouraging abortion, enraging many over the commercial's pro-life message.
SKETCHERS DOG RACING (2012)
This spot for the shoemaker outraged animal lovers and was accused of promoting abuse for promoting dog racing. More than 100,000 people signed a petition to get the ad pulled from from the Super Bowl, but it aired any way.
SALESGENIE (2008)
Racism was the charge leveled at SalesGenie for this ad featuring a pair of animated pandas who work in a bamboo furniture store and sport hyperbolized Chinese accents. It was pulled from the airwaves following the Super Bowl.
HOLIDAY INN (1999)
Holiday Inn came under fire first by transgender advocates when it ran this ad comparing the $1 billion worth of upgrades at its hotels to gender reassignment surgery. The commercial was cut shortly after the Super Bowl.
84 LUMBER (2017)
Just weeks after President Trump's inauguration, 84 Lumber made an ad depicting a group of Latin migrants on a journey to America before coming face to face with an imposing border wall. Fox deemed the conclusion of the ad "too controversial" and aired an edited, 90-second version without a wall, with the ad directing people to a website to watch the full version.
Animal abuse, racism, anti-gay sentiment — they're not just for football players anymore!

YouTuber Logan Paul Apologizes After Video of Post-Suicide Body Caused 'Monsoon of Negativity'


Memory (RAM) gets cheaper every year. As a result, new computing devices (mobile/server/desktop) come with more and more RAM, allowing applications to perform bigger and increasingly sophisticated tasks. My first desktop computer had 16K of RAM. The laptop on which I am writing this has 16GB of RAM. That's 1 million times more RAM for less than half the price in today's dollars. Wow.
Many computing devices now have 64-bit processors allowing them to access very large amounts of RAM. That means the apps must be 64-bit apps. If the device has 32-bit compatibility libraries installed, they can run 32-bit apps as well and most do. Some Linux servers, however, don't have these libraries installed and thus require a 64 bit app. As time goes on, more devices will require apps to be 64 bit.
What do you need to do to make sure your apps will compile for 64 bit? Most of you will have to do little or nothing because Xojo abstracts you from these details. For example, if you use the Integer data type, that will automatically convert from 32 bit to 64 bit. If your application uses plugins, those plugins will need to be updated to support 64 bit. When we are ready with 64 bit, many plugins will have been updated. For most of you though, the conversion from 32 bit to 64 bit will require little, if any, effort.
Do you have an app that will benefit from 64 bit? Post a comment and tell me about it.

In Depth - The Fate of the Picts in the Northern Isles
The following article is an examination of a divisive topic for some in the Northern Isles. As the author, I am often puzzled over the passions this subject stirs up and what I see as the peculiar need to litigate events from 1200 years ago. At the same time, I am also struck by the way in which the archaeology itself is often presented in an effort to answer a question for which it is not presently best equipped to do. For myself it feels a lot like revisionist history, a preferred answer in desperate search of evidence. Perhaps for that reason alone it is valuable to 'wade in'.
The article is densely referenced with a great deal of time spent unpicking the issue. By all means engage in debate but before doing so review the source information. In addition to those referenced below, it is highly worthwhile to read many of the annals for yourself. A comprehensive link to almost all with relevance can be found here.
The fate of the Picts in Shetland and Orkney with the arrival of the Vikings is a formidable topic with entrenched and passionate positions. In consideration of the frustratingly vague or strident language each side of the debate uses, this is hardly surprising. Assimilation, accommodation and integration - terms preferred by the colloquially known 'peace school' - evade definition in any meaningful way whilst annihilation and genocide - terms favoured by the 'war school' - inflame the issue by evoking images of 19th and 20th century acts of extreme violence on a mass scale. The intensity of the argument has frequently led to the use of ambiguous documentation and questionable interpretation of archaeological evidence. It may simply be that a balanced investigation of the issue is too clouded with current cultural baggage and positions staked out in line with the programme of study from which it is approached. The reasonable answer to the fate of the Picts in the Northern Isles is very likely there, the debate unnecessarily carrying on along particular margins to welcome new modes of thought even when they are poorly evidenced.
The peace school, led mostly by archaeologists, owe much to Anna Ritchie's excavations at Buckquoy in Orkney from 1970-71. Though seminal in defining the figure of eight house as Pictish, it was the later overlying structures with mixed midden material that excited the debate in favour of peaceful coexistence and "social integration" (Ritchie 1977: 192) with the arrival of the Vikings. However, the evidence from the dig is rather inconclusive. No carbon dates or soil samples were obtained and there was a failure to examine soil stratigraphy based on a sense there was none. Section recordings were deemed not useful enough to be published. The only method left to determine site chronology and interpret the various contexts was artefacts. These acknowledged problems were further complicated by an estimation half of the site had disappeared with coastal erosion and the remainder damaged by stone robbing and ploughing. From this the site was interpreted as unequivocally demonstrating integration.
To unpick this interpretation based on uncertain evidence it is first necessary to look at some contradictions in the internal logic. In many ways, the artefacts alone should have been a warning the analysis might be on the wrong track. Mixed assemblages on a site that has experienced stone robbing, levelling and ploughing damage should be expected. Building a model of accommodation and integration from this is quite challenging and suspect. Moreover, very few of the artefacts unearthed can be attributed to a Norse origin, the lead weight an exception (Graham-Campbell and Batey 1998: 163). Ritchie herself notes this when she reviews the faunal bone assemblage and sees no real difference between Pict and Norse livestock (1977: 209). Moreover, there is acknowledgment the Norse levels are "dominated by native products" (Ibid: 192) and there is a lack of artefacts diagnostically Scandinavian in the three phases of supposed Norse occupation. Despite this and the general problems with site interpretation, there remains a rather puzzling statement a few lines later that there can be "no doubt" integration took place.
The buildings used to develop an integration model have also come under considerable debate (Barrett 2008; Batey and Sheehan 2000; Graham-Campbell and Batey 1998; Smith 2001). Some of the architecture from the last three building phases may in fact be rather more Pictish which would explain the absence of Scandinavian artefacts (Batey and Sheehan 2000). Sub-rectangular buildings are indeed known in later Pictish styles in general (Hunter 1990: 190; Barrett 2008: 418) and Orkney specifically where they are found at other sites with mixed assemblages such as the Brough of Birsay, Pool and Skaill (Barrett 2008: 418; Graham-Campbell and Batey 1998: 13, 171; Hunter 1990: 189). Ritchie herself discusses sub-rectangular Pictish building styles in Caithness and Sutherland (1993: 23) and additional features including benches along the interior walls (Ibid: 49). Moreover, with chronology in question due to a lack of stratigraphy and carbon dates, reliance on a presumed 10th century burial in the last phase is used to work backwards and assign culturally specific architectural styles to the first five phases. As an added complication, the ogham-inscribed spindle-whorl from the earliest phase has since shown to be Old Irish (Forsyth 1995) rather than an unintelligible non-Celtic language as previously believed (Ritchie 1977: 222). This pushes the earliest phase back a conservative 50 years so overall site chronology determined this way may legitimately be viewed as guesswork.
The rather lengthy interrogation of the Buckquoy data is important because it forms the basis of the peace school and, arguably, points to a much larger problem that arises from time to time; rather than allow the evidence to guide interpretation, the interpretation shoehorns evidence into a pre-existing thought process. To be critical, the mental gymnastics Anna Ritchie goes through in her interpretation is reminiscent of the work conducted in the excavation at Norwick, Unst in 2003 (Ballin Smith 2007). Also used by the peace school, the very earliest possible dates from the radiocarbon range are inexplicably introduced as proof of pre-Viking Norse settlement in Shetland. Presenting the data in this way is erroneous because the actual range of acknowledged dates is as far out as 950AD. Unfortunately, this raises questions of the credibility of evidence for the peace school and, in some cases, perpetuates further problematic interpretation. For example, aided by Ballin Smith, Lindsey Stirling and Karen Milek (2016) sought to examine the impact of Viking arrival on Orkney through textile production and implements. They noted substantial changes took place with the arrival of the Vikings in both function and style, an almost complete shift in tools used and over a very short period yet still managed a conclusion of accommodation. This happens with Jessica Bäcklund (2001) where she goes through an unconvincing and difficult to follow discourse about placenames, land administration and genetics to prove accommodation with the help of Ritchie. Such examples provide an opening for the war school who understandably view it as an unfathomable need to rehabilitate the Vikings rather than an unbiased look at the evidence.
A troubling aspect to this rehabilitation agenda, and the peace school specifically, is the minimising of the very real situation in which women would have found themselves with Viking incursions. The irony in this approach, assuming it stems from notions of agency where people take central stage, is it either concludes women were consensual or it completely erases female personhood and self-determination from the debate. Some recent mitochondrial DNA studies (Krzewinska et al. 2015; Margaryan et al. 2020) appear to affirm what the internal and external sources of the Viking Age explicitly express, sexual slavery and large-scale movement of women was a widespread practice. In this light, what exactly does an accommodation model look like? At its most absurd it is happy families having children (Bäcklund 2001: 40) or Pictish women peacefully continuing along with their own sewing (Stirling and Milek 2016: 13). The interpretation of the latter is made more disturbing because their own research showed the short time span of mixed implements was no more than a generation. These examples have the appearance of an effort to put minds at ease and further a sense that it was not all that bad but doing so requires wilful disregard for the very real suffering these women would have likely gone through.
Much of the rest of the excavated archaeological evidence is similarly problematic and a build of the same narrative. Pool and Skaill have stratigraphy and interpretive issues (Barrett 2008; Hunter 1990) with the latter showing signs of violence (Batey et al. 1994: 150). The Brough of Birsay may have been taken over by the Vikings early as it has strong evidence of being the seat of Pictish power in Orkney (Ritchie 1993: 58; Graham-Campbell and Batey 1998: 11, 169). The dichotomy of interpretation here is best illustrated by a Chris Morris quote from Brian Smith (2001: 17) where he admits there are two ways to look at the Pictish material in later assemblages, continuity or disturbance and both are equally valid. A curious consideration of the archaeological evidence comes from James Barrett who cannot seem to decide to where it points. Quoted by Andrew Jennings and Arne Kruse (2001: 290), in 1999 he believed in the sizeable migration of Norse producers rather than integration in the Western Isles based on offshore fishing economy, something he would repeat regarding Orkney (Barrett 2001: 152). He then later waters this down by being equivocal and leaving the door open for accommodation in some form (Barrett 2008). Most recently David Griffiths (2019) ignores much of the archaeology in Orkney and all the written source material to theorise there was little activity in the Northern Isles until much later in the Viking Age. He further attempts to absolve their responsibility for the destruction of the monastery at Portmahomack on the Tarbat peninsula, some 75 sailing miles south of Orkney, around the year 800 AD with no convincing evidence and in contradiction to the excavator (Carver 2004: 25).
Refreshingly, the landscape and placename approach by Alison Leonard (2011) has been one of the more compelling attempts to interrogate the issue. She explores the Viking/Norse interaction with the landscape and monuments of Orkney bringing in theories of memory and inhabitation to what would have been to them a new place. She believes building atop existing structures was a dispossession strategy in a situation where the incomers were contending with a native population in a divided and built environment. Moreover, the reuse of these structures for the creation of ancestral rights was an attempt to legitimise the land-claim in a situation where challenges would likely come from fellow colonisers. Burial atop existing Pictish structures was one such method which has obvious shades of Buckquoy. This also included placename changes as a part of the ancestral narrative and a "device and product of colonisation" (Ibid: 46) where the only cultural mixing was the language and practices of their homeland with the new landscape to which they had come.
This placename evidence is one of the strongest arguments used by the war school. A recent analysis on Skye by Joseph Ryder (2020) determined 86% of placenames derived from Old Norse indicating intense colonisation. He asserts a total replacement of names, such as experienced in the Northern Isles, is unprecedented in history which brings up the idea of a virgin landscape due to the forcible removal of its native inhabitants. These ideas have previously been explored in the Western Isles (Jennings and Kruse 2005) where placename changes argue for violence when taken in consideration of the complete architectural and artefactual makeover by the incoming population. Akin to Leonard, they believe building atop the existing structures was an act of violence itself rather than evidence of continuity. A weakness in the placename argument is chronology and especially as it pertains to Orkney and Shetland. It may be an indication of 11th/12th century consolidation rather than duration from the 9th/10th century (Barrett 2008: 413). Moreover, some, such as Bäcklund (2001: 37-8), have argued the native Picts may have adopted the names themselves since they were the product of a new dominant class.
The variety of evidence from contemporary annal sources remains the strongest argument of the war school. A side by side reading of a variety of Irish sources such as the Annals of Ulster and Annals of Innisfallen provides details of escalating Viking raids with the devastation of all the British islands in 794, Iona and Skye in 795, the taking of large riches from Ireland and Scotland in 798 and back to Iona in 802 and 806. As time went on the frequency and size of the raids increased and diversified so by 821 the non-monastic site of Howth near Dublin was raided where the Annals of Ulster and Annals of the Four Masters both claim they carried away large numbers of women. On the east coast of Scotland, Portmahomack was likely raided around 800 (Carver 2004) and Lindisfarne in 793 as recorded in the Peterborough Manuscript of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. From then the largescale raids ceased on the east coast until 835 with the Isle of Sheppey. This is simultaneous to an increase of raids in Germany and France detailed by the Royal Frankish Chronicles and Annals of St Bertin with the Siege of Paris occurring in 845.
The cessation of east coast raiding is important. These sites were likely better defended against the early smaller scale Viking raids of the late 8th and early 9th centuries where nearby Pictish power centres could draw on more robust military resources. Instead, the Vikings concentrated on the west coast with repeated raids on Iona and widespread island targets in both Scotland and Ireland. These areas likely served as convenient places from which to gather and continue forays whilst growing wealth could be used as a recruiting tool. Gathering pace, the variety of annals speak of widespread, enormous damage and loss of life amongst both clergy and secular peoples such that by 825 the frequency becomes quite astonishing. From here it can be rather convincingly deduced the Western Isles were firmly under control and most likely the Northern Isles as well. The violence visited upon the areas documented in the annals would have almost assuredly been visited on Orkney and Shetland as island groups perfectly situated between Norway and the wealthy west coast targets. In his presentation, Joseph Ryder (2020) speculated the rich land of Skye may later have been a pull factor for settlers by the mid-9th century. Almost certainly Orkney (Batey et al. 1994: 151) and parts of Shetland would have been the same.
These events are confirmed in a very generalised way by the insular sources such as the Orkneyinga Saga and Historia Norwegiæ. Though the veracity of both internal and external source material for Viking Age activity has often been questioned, the variety of external annals contain little in the way of editorialising which gives them a credibility a little tougher to get to with insular sources (Dumville 2008). Nonetheless, the depicted scenario of a sparsely populated land of frightened people who hid during the day may echo the real events happening in the Northern Isles at the hands of raiding Vikings. As Alison Leonard points out (2011: 62), by the time these sources were written the Picts had been dispossessed of communal memory and any association with the land was being kept alive instead through folklore such as trows and their mounds. This notion of hiding underground still resonates today, souterrains commonly referred to as 'Pict hooses' (Graham-Campbell and Batey 1998: 10).
Considering the underpinnings of each school of thought, the reasonable answer to what happened to the Picts when the Vikings arrived on Orkney and Shetland strongly points to a level of violence and forcible removal of the native inhabitants. A preponderance of the archaeology favouring a harmonious accommodation favoured by the peace school suffers from highly uncertain artefactual evidence and questionable interpretation of material culture lacking convincing stratigraphy and radiocarbon dates. Some of this is understandable, it is difficult to look for a precise moment in time with imprecise dating techniques. However, trying to force the evidence only serves to undermine the case. The weight of placename evidence and historiography does point convincingly to a complete Viking takeover favoured by the war school even if it too can be equally difficult to define. Though slavery is almost certain, as is removal from the land, terms of genocide and annihilation are perhaps too weighty for the evidence to bear. In all likelihood, a part of the population fled with the increasing raids and those who could or would not were accommodated by an invitation to be killed or become a slave, especially if female.

ASEAN Needs to Emphasise Importance of Socio-Cultural Pillar, Says ASEAN Deputy Secretary
In addition to the very important aspects of economic community and economic integration, ASEAN member countries need to emphasise the importance of the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC), ASEAN Deputy Secretary General Vongthep Arthakaivalvatee has said.
The socio-cultural community may not be as well-known as AEC, but I think that this is our job, our responsibility, to bring it to the people because the ASCC is all about the people of ASEAN countries, said Mr Vongthep during an interview with Lao media in Vientiane on April 6.
In 2015, ASEAN leaders adopted the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community Blueprint 2025 which focuses on multi-sectoral and multi-stakeholder engagements, including Dialogue and Development Partners, sub-regional organisations, academia, private-public partnerships, community engagement, tripartite engagement with the labour sector, social enterprises, government organisations, non-governmental organisations, civil society organisation engagement, corporate social responsibility (CSR), and inter-faith and inter-cultural dialogue.
The objective is to enhance commitment, participation and social responsibility of ASEAN peoples through an accountable and engaging mechanism for the benefit of all, towards a community of engaged and empowered ASEAN peoples who are provided the platforms to participate in ASEAN processes as well as to enjoy the benefits from the various initiatives.

Former South Carolina basketball star Sindarius Thornwell is on the hunt for a new team
Former South Carolina basketball star Sindarius Thornwell is on the hunt for a new team July 07, 2019 Saturday, Thornwell was released by the Los Angeles Clippers, along with fellow guard Tyrone Wallace. While the Clippers released two guards, they also brought in Maurice Harkless from the Portland Trail Blazers in another quick flurry of off-season moves. Thornwell spent two seasons with the Clippers but his first was much better than his second. As a rookie, Thornwell averaged 15.8 minutes per game averaging 3.9 points and 1.9 rebounds. He also averaged 0.9 assists and 0.7 steals per game in limited action. Last year was a different story, Thornwell was rarely used. After starting 16 games as a rookie, he made only one start his second year with the franchise and played in 64 games. His time on the court dropped dramatically as he averaged only 4.9 minutes on the floor per game. His numbers dropped across the board, including down 8 percent in field goal percentage and nearly 18 percent in three-point percentage

Season over for USC with Sweet 16 loss
FeatheredCock posted a topic in WBB Hoops
Season over for USC with Sweet 16 loss March 30, 2019 South Carolina women's basketball had clear and concrete goals for how it would upset No. 1 overall seed Baylor heading into the Sweet 16: 3-pointers, speed, transition offense and defensive pressure. But when the ball tipped at Greensboro Coliseum on Saturday, the fourth-seeded Gamecocks got very little of those things early, and the Lady Bears reminded everyone why they're one of the current tournament favorites, defeating USC 93-68, to end the Gamecocks' season. When the two teams met on Dec. 2, Baylor (34-1, 18-0 Big 12) raced out to a quick 32-13 lead in the first quarter and never looked back in a 94-69 win. On Saturday, South Carolina (23-10, 13-3 SEC) once again fell victim to a slow start and never recovered.
Rick Pitino joins Dan Patrick Show and talks about Brian Bowen
Rick Pitino joins Dan Patrick Show and talks about Brian Bowen April 05, 2018 During a Thursday morning appearance on The Dan Patrick Show, former Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino was asked about South Carolina basketball player Brian Bowen. Bowen, a former 5-star recruit, was alleged to have received $100,000 from Adidas for signing with Louisville in 2017. Bowen, who denied knowledge of the payment, was ruled ineligible by Louisville, following the FBI's probe. South Carolina announced in January that Bowen was enrolled for class and joining the basketball team. Bowen has yet to suit up for the Gamecocks. On Thursday, Pitino was asked if Bowen's family received money. "I don't know," Pitino said. "Allegedly, he got $12,500, allegedly from Adidas or someone. I don't know the facts of that." Pitino was then asked about Bowen's decision to sign with Louisville in June, after his senior season at La Lumiere School in Indiana. "My antennas went up and I sat with the family. The mom was a lovely lady and the kid was a great kid," Pitino said. "I sat with them and I said, 'Now, wait a second, how come you haven't signed with a school?' And I grilled them. "And they said, 'Well, we wanted to go to Michigan State and it didn't work. We wanted to go to Arizona because Rawle Alkins and the other guard put their names in and we would come in and start as a freshman, so we were going to Arizona. Then, they all of a sudden took their names out and we were left without a school and we just noticed that Donovan Mitchell left and went to the pros, so we could start at the 2-guard for you.' "So that made complete sense to me. Adidas has never – I've been with them 17 years, they have never done anything close to this in my lifetime, so I never suspected them of doing anything."
John Calipari lavishes praise on USC after upset
John Calipari lavishes praise on USC after upset January 17, 2018 In the end, it was all very simple for Kentucky coach John Calipari. "They deserved to win," Calipari remarked after Tuesday's wild South Carolina comeback to top the Wildcats, 76-68. "This wasn't about us, this was about South Carolina." Coach Cal didn't offer any excuses for his team surrendering a 14-point second half lead, or for committing 32 personal fouls, or for allowing South Carolina star Chris Silva to dominate in the low post. He just gave the Gamecocks and coach Frank Martin props for out-willing his own team. "I'm really disappointed but you know what, you gotta give South Carolina credit, they played like Frank coaches," Calipari said. "They're down and it looks like they're going to get smacked, and they never stop playing and then they got the momentum." Most of Tuesday's contest was an ugly affair, with both teams getting whistled for fouls constantly and going through long stretches without any field goals while enduring aggressive, physical defense that riled up the crowd of 16,210 at Colonial Life Arena. But Calipari had no complaints about the officiating, which gave South Carolina 38 free throw attempts. In fact, he said he waved aside protest from his own players who tried to claim they hadn't fouled the Gamecocks. "I've never seen so many dumb fouls," Calipari said, then referencing a pivotal intentional foul called against Hamidou Diallo with 11:29 left in the game. "Like, you grab a guy, pull his shirt out. Excuse me, you think this is lacrosse? ... You pulled the guy's shirt out of his pants!" After that intentional foul, South Carolina outscored Kentucky 33-11. A large part of that rally came from Silva, who scored 10 points in the final 10 minutes and on whom Calipari lavished praise. "Silva, we did a pretty good job in the first half (but) the second half they just said, we're throwing it to him," Calipari said. "He was the difference. He manhandled anyone we put on him. He just moved people. He just bullied them. He dominated them. He manhandled anybody on my team." Silva and the rest of South Carolina's bigs throttled Kentucky in the post. In particular, Calipari said the Gamecocks outplayed the Wildcats on the offensive glass, where Kentucky had its worst performance of the season. "They got 14 of them and we got six," Calipari said while critiquing his team for "unwarranted arrogance." "That is basically an effort situation and a toughness situation," he said of USC's edge in rebounds. Lastly, Calipari gave credit to South Carolina's home crowd, the biggest of the season to date. "Every time we come in here it's a packed house. It was a great crowd. I imagine they had a good time and they enjoyed themselves," Calipari said. Calipari's star player, forward Kevin Knox, agreed, citing the noise from the fans as a factor in the Wildcats' 3-of-8 shooting from the free throw line in the game's final four minutes. "They get loud. They weren't loud when we were up 14, but when you change the game with the intentional foul, they start hitting some shots, next thing you know, the crowd got into it," Knox said. "We missed some big free throws down the stretch. I think the crowd definitely played a big impact, they got up and got loud." With the victory, the Gamecocks snapped a four-game losing streak against Kentucky dating back to 2014, but Calipari indicated that he came in expecting a scrappy contest based off years past. "South Carolina always gives us a good game. They always do," he said.
What South Carolina's new five-star told ESPN about Louisville scandal, his role
What South Carolina's new five-star told ESPN about Louisville scandal, his role January 10, 2018 Weeks before the Wednesday revelation he'd join the South Carolina basketball program, five-star former Louisville signee Brian Bowen sat down on ESPN's Outside the Lines. There he denied knowing about an alleged $100,000 going to his father as part of a attempt to steer him to Rick Pitino's Cardinals. The FBI investigation cost Pitino his job and also swept up former South Carolina assistant coach Lamont Evans. "I was shocked," Bowen told ESPN's Jeff Goodman. "I didn't believe it at all. ... They have to be lying. There's no way I'm involved in it. "I don't know anything about it." Bowen said he had not spoken to his father about the situation and that he didn't believe his father took money. "No one pressured me to go to Louisville or any other school," Bowen said. "I made the ultimate decision." After landing with USC, Frank Martin said in a school release that Athletic Director Ray Tanner, school President Harris Pastides and the board of trustees helped get Bowen in position to join the Gamecocks. Tanner said South Carolina will work with NCAA compliance to get Bowen eligible next season. "My biggest thing is that I want to play college basketball," Bowen said. "There are other routes I can go. I could go play in Spain or Australia or in Lithuania with the Ball brothers. But my dream was to play college basketball. "I feel like I'm a victim because of greedy adults." THE STATE

Lonzo Ball got no votes in NBA Rookie of the Year balloting
Many (if not most) of LaVar Ball's predictions for Lonzo Ball and the Los Angeles Lakers in 2017-18 didn't pan out. Beyond the belief that the Purple and Gold would win 50 games and make the playoffs in Zo's inaugural NBA season, none flopped harder than the Big Baller Brand CEO's prognostications flopped harder than his familial pick for Rookie of the Year.
Not only did the Crown Prince of Chino Hills not qualify as a finalist—the Philadelphia 76ers' Ben Simmons came out ahead of the Utah Jazz's Donovan Mitchell and the Boston Celtics' Jayson Tatum at the NBA Awards—but he failed to garner a single first-, second- or third-place vote on any of the media ballots.
That Lonzo fell so short of the honor shouldn't come as any shock. The three finalists played like borderline All-Stars for teams that qualified for (and advanced through) the 2018 playoffs.
Ball, meanwhile, had what, in many ways, was a typical rookie season. He struggled with his shot (.360/.305/.451 shooting splits) and missed 30 games due to injury on a Lakers squad that wound up 12 games shy of a postseason berth.
Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma represent Lakers on NBA All-Rookie teams
Granted, fellow L.A. newcomer Kyle Kuzma and Dallas Mavericks point guard Dennis Smith Jr. didn't get any closer to that kind of glory in Year 1. But those two played in more games (77 for Kuz, 69 for Smith Jr.) and scored more consistently (16.1 points for Kuzma, 15.2 points for Smith Jr.) than Zo did.
In truth, that Ball didn't get any ROY love at all says more about the rest of his class than it does about him. Had Lonzo come into the league in 2016, he might've had a chance at that hardware over Milwaukee Bucks guard Malcolm Brogdon. Instead, timing put him up against a slew of studs—with whom he might soon keep appropriate company, if his offseason progress is any indication.

As your family planning begins, Jaime Zimmerman suggests opening a custodial account to protect your future child's financial health.
One of the basic rules of smart investing is to start early. And when it comes to saving for your child's education, the earlier you start, the better. By setting up a custodial account, in which you or another adult is the custodian of a child's investments, you can save for future college costs or accumulate enough resources to give the child the funds with which to set out in life as an adult. It's a great tool for parents, grandparents or others to make gifts of cash or securities to children who are too young to handle such assets.
A custodial account is simple to open, but you should consider whether an UGMA (Uniform Gift to Minors Act) or UTMA (Uniform Transfer to Minors Act) account is the best choice. In either case, it's important to understand that the property held in a custodial account is owned by the child. In other words, once the gift is made, you can't take the money back. Once more, when the child turns 18 or 21 (depending on the state's age of majority), they can use the money for anything they want. We sometimes call these the "Yale or Vail" accounts.
Another concern of gifting assets to your child is that income generated may be subject to the "kiddie tax." If the child is under age 18 and has unearned income above a threshold of $1,700 (2007), that income will be taxed at the parent's rate, not the child's. In addition, the money in the account may count against the child when seeking financial aid for college. And if you're concerned about your own estate taxes, then you should avoid naming yourself as the custodian. If you die before the account terminates, the account will be included in your estate for tax purposes.
So what are the advantages of custodial accounts? For starters, although there are no contribution limits to a custodial account, anyone can transfer up to $12,000 without federal gift-tax consequences and you can transfer cash and/or securities into their account. For some, this is a great estate-planning tool. Transferring a highly appreciated stock avoids a tax consequence for you especially if the custodial account will likely pay a much lower rate of tax when the security is sold. Remember though, that YOUR cost basis of a gifted security carries over to the child and will be used to determine the amount of gain for tax purposes.
Other benefits of the UGMA or UTMA are that you as custodian have control of the assets as long as the child's a minor. And withdrawals are not restricted to higher-education uses either. Unlike some other options, you can use the money as needed as long as it benefits the child.
Before establishing a custodial account, you should determine if other options may be more appropriate. You may find it would be better to invest in a Coverdell ESA, a 529 plan or a trust. It's also possible a traditional IRA or Roth IRA may be more appropriate. As always, consult with your tax and financial advisers to see what's most appropriate for your situation.

"This was originally recorded in a very scarey building on the edge of a very scarey housing estate in a very scarey part of Tottenham There was an extremely heavy atmosphere that night, a palpable darkness, something sinister in the air, I was strongly aware of it. My skin was crawling in that place, the outside was covered in graffiti and security grilles and the studio was crammed into a tiny room upstairs. The rest of the house was full of junk and it was filthy, as if no one had lived there for a long time. But it wasn't just the state of the place, there was definitely an atmosphere in there and I remembered thinking that something bad must have happened there.
At one point I drove back down to Brick Lane and I felt the same vibe right across town. I think that shows in the music, it feels oppressive. A couple of days later I realised we had been recording on All Hallows Eve. Traditionally, people believed that it was the night at which the membrane between our world and the spirit world was at it's thinnest, a time when dark spirits can enter our world so it struck me that we had picked up on that feeling, even though we hadn't realised at the time.
I added the lyrics much later when I did the drawings and I was looking for a piece of music to fit and it seemed the obvious choice. It's quite simple, a woman finally reaches the conclusion that the love has completely gone from her relationship and makes a break for it. It's only when she is moments from death, having been in a car crash, that she realises that she still feels some love for the guy which I believe is almost always the way. We tend to always feel some tiny amount of love for everyone we have ever loved and even though we may deny it ourselves there is always something there right until the end and I expressed that in a manner that was quite stark".

Researchers find quantum gravity has no symmetry
Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (Kavli IPMU)
A new study by a pair of researchers in the US and Japan has found that, when gravity is combined with quantum mechanics, symmetry is not possible.
"Many physicists believe that there must a beautiful set of laws in Nature and that one way to quantify the beauty is by symmetry. Some of the symmetries may be hidden in our world, but they should manifest themselves if we look at Nature at a more fundamental level. We showed that this expectation is wrong once we take into account the gravity," said Hirosi Ooguri, Director of the Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe, and one of the paper authors.
There are four kinds of fundamental forces in Nature: electromagnetism, strong force, weak force, and gravity. Of the four, the gravity is the only one still unexplainable at the quantum level. Researchers believe the holographic principle is an important hint to combine the gravity and quantum mechanics successfully.
A hologram makes three-dimensional images pop out from a two-dimensional screen. Similarly, the holographic principle allows physicists to study gravitational systems by projecting them on a boundary that surrounds the entire Universe. The AdS/CFT (anti-de Sitter/conformal field theory) correspondence, developed in the late 1990s by Juan Maldacena, has been particularly useful because it gives a precise mathematical definition of the holographic principle.
In the paper published on May 17, Ooguri and Daniel Harlow, Assistant Professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, proved that symmetry is not possible in a gravitational theory if it obeys the holographic principle.
Previous work by Harlow and others had found a precise mathematical analogy between the holographic principle and quantum error correcting codes, which protects information in a quantum computer. In the new paper, Ooguri and Harlow showed such quantum error correcting codes are not compatible with any symmetry, meaning that symmetry would not be possible in quantum gravity.
Their result has several important consequences. In particular, it predicts that the protons are unstable against decaying into other elementary particles, and that magnetic monopoles exist.
Details of their study were published in Physical Review Letters on May 17 and selected for Editor's Suggestion "due to its particular importance, innovation, and broad appeal."

Post by Prime Good on Jan 14, 2012 5:38:24 GMT -5
I've just read on WIKI that Tex Hex was originally created for the FGB series, which would instantaniously explain why he got a lavander-tinted skin!
It comes out as a total surprise to me the fact they created the whole BRAVESTARR universe starting from the sole character of Tex Hex.
Frankly, I love the BRAVESTARR series (pretty much ahead of its time if you ask me) but I don't see what's so special in the Tex Hex character. I found Stampede as being more fascinating and frightening.
Anyway, the FGB guys on New Texas... that would be a true blast!

I caught an episode or two on QUBO Night-Owl a few months ago...blasted insomnia. I can tell you from this that Tex Hex also has the phasing abilities of the FGB ghosts.
Also, the thing about Tex Hex is, Lou just thought he was wasted on FGB. Were I alive and 24 in 1986, I'd have taken him to task on this--he could have been the ghost that even Prime Evil hates! (Indeed, he cropped up in this manner in at least one of my FGB Movie concepts.)

I utterly agree. Tex Hex is just average. Bravestarr is an interesting character, his universe is pretty rad (and original), but Tex Hex is just plain boring.

I never knew that. Tex did look like a character that could have been on FGB though. A futuristic outlaw ghost.

Ok, I'm a huge Bravestarr fan and obviously I love Tex Hex.
Sure Stampede is a more 'badass' bad guy, but Tex Hex is not all evil (there are episodes dealing with this). He was a normal guy but got caught up in greed and became evil.
He is a 'fallen hero' much like Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader in a kind of way...

"Bravestarr The Legend" (the movie) and the episode "Eyes of the Beholder" touch upon Tex Hex past.
In the episode "Eyes of the Beholder" we learn that Tex Hex had a girlfriend named Ursula that he neglected because of his greed for 'kerium' (going so far as saying something like 'nothing matters more than kerium').
In the movie we see Tex Hex being more 'human-like' (not 'skull-ish) in his face and whit black hair. Him and Scuzz are having prairie people mining kerium for them. Stampede feels Tex Hex 'evilness' and greed and transform him into the skull-ish look and gives him magic powers.

Thanks for the info MurderCapital i never watched the movie and now i think is a must!!For me Tex-Hex is a cool villain and i can imagine him in the FGB series.He reminds me a mummified Fu Manchu in a way...when we were kids a good friend of mine in a ''fanboy discussion'' tells me that he is the same person with Eddie the Head you know from who?And that She-Ra was the legendary Isis from the old cartoon.
Oh...what a good childhood we had...On my opinion i prefer Vipra(hot!hot!sexy!sexy!) and i love to hate Hawgtie as a boy in a grey uniform i am.

Your theme seems to have been sunset shots this week (29 November 2005) so I thought you might like to balance it up with a sunrise shot. This was taken from our house at Browns Bay at about 05:45 on Tuesday 29 November 2005. Thankfully the strong S-E winds died down and flying resumed this week.
You might be interested to know that the spring weather patterns have been the best ever for our pilots. A number of NZ distance records have been broken including a flight from Wanaka to Burkes Pass and another incredible flight from Mt Maude (near Lake Hawea) up the main divide to Mt Cook village. Not bad on a bit of cloth and string! Regards, and keep up the great job.'

Who would win in a fight? Michael Myers, or Call of Duty: Ghosts' Maniac Juggernaut killstreak?
A recent "in-depth" video from Call of Duty YouTube personality Drift0r pits the two together, measuring their health, running speed, and killing efficiency.
Michael Myers is a brand new Field Order reward introduced in Call of Duty: Ghosts' first multiplayer DLC, Onslaught. Completing a Field Order on the horror movie-inspired map Fog will earn you the chance to turn into the iconic villain, granting you extra health and movement speed as you relentlessly axe your opponents down with swift melee attacks.
Given his superhuman abilities, we couldn't help but wonder how he would fare against Ghosts' Maniac Juggernaut killstreak who happens to have similar characteristics. Check out the video above to find out who wins!
To learn more about Call of Duty: Ghosts' Onslaught DLC, be sure to catch our video preview with gameplay from all four new maps, including new Extinction content. You can also check out more Michael Myers action below from some known Call of Duty commentators who were also at Infinity Ward's preview event.
Call of Duty: Ghosts Onslaught is now live on the Xbox One and Xbox 360, and will drop later this month on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PC.

Information on visa and residence permit regulations as well as the list of countries, the citizens of which may enter Hungary without having a visa is to be found on the website of the Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs at www.mfa.gov.hu, as well as on the website of the Hungarian Embassy of the home country. Here you can find the most up-to-date list of diplomatic and consular representations in Hungary.
Upon receipt of the Letter of Acceptance from the Corvinus University of Budapest, students from non-EEA countries (non-EEA nationals) must hand in their demand on residence permit for the purpose of studies at the Hungarian Embassy in their home country. (We very much recommend that all non-EEA citizens - even those who are eligible to enter Hungary without a visa for up to 90 days - apply for a visa for residence permit BEFORE coming to Hungary.) In case of successful application, the students obtain a visa – for the purpose of studies – authorizing them to a single entry for receiving the residence permit and to stay for maximum 30 days in Hungary. The decision on the residence permit falls within the scope of the regional directorates of the Office of Immigration and Nationality.
The students must visit the Office of Immigration and Nationality and obtain their residence permit within 30 days from the day of entry. All non-EEA nationals must, at all times during their stay and studies here, have a valid residence permit allowing them to study in Hungary.
Those international students who are staying at Corvinus for a longer period of time – for more than one semester – are obliged to have the residence permit renewed before it expires. Please note that renewal of the residence permit must be started at least 30 days before it expires.
Students from EEA countries (EEA nationals) must obtain their certificate of registration at the regional directorate competent for the place of residence within 3 months from the day of entry.
Application forms for Hungarian residence permit are to be downloaded on the website of the Hungarian Immigration Office at http://www.bmbah.hu/.
Students are recommended to contact the relevant authorities (and consult the websites) at least 2 months before the start of the study period.
All international students are also responsible for registering their housing address at the regional directorate competent for the place of residence. Each student will receive an "address ID card" which is obligatory for all people residing in Hungary. In general, all international students have to notify the authorities about their place of residence soon after arrival and within 3 days after any changes taking place.

Report: Hack the Body Odor Workshop
Posted: 15 December 2016
A closer look into the laboratory of olfactory artist Klara Ravat
Report by Vivian Fontijn
On November 25th, Natlab once again turned into a proper laboratory during the sold-out Hack the Body Odor Workshop, hosted by olfactory artist Klara Ravat. Besides a theoretical insight into the fascinating domain of the sense of smell, participants got the chance to create a distillation of their own body odor.
Klara Ravat makes installations that work with smell. She obtained a degree in ArtScience at the Royal Academy of Arts in The Hague, and now works and resides in Berlin. Ravat is the founder of the Smell Lab, a community project for investigation and practice focused on the art and science of the sense of smell.
The anatomy & physiology of smell
Klara Ravat's workshop started with a brief theoretical introduction on how smell works and how it is related to the body and mind. The sense of smell is incredibly powerful. Babies can recognize their mother by the smell of the nipple, and we can smell fear and dislike in others.
The individual sense of smell is genetically determined. Everyone has different odor receptors and that's why people interpret smells in different ways (or sometimes not at all). Each olfactory receptor is capable of binding to several different odorant molecules. This provides the basis for combinatorial diversity, a mechanism that is capable of discriminating between as many as a trillion different mixtures of odorant.
The sense of smell is closely connected to the ability to evoke memories. As we speak, a lot of research is being done in this field. Current studies suggest that odor-evoked memories may be experienced as more emotional than memories cued by other sensory modalities.
As far as scientists know, the memory mechanism has to do with the quick response of the olfactory sensors and how they interact with the brain. The hippocampus is essential for memory function, particularly the transference from short to long term memory and control of spatial memory and behavior. Also, the amygdala performs a primary role in the processing and memory of emotional reactions and social and sexual behavior, as well as regulating the sense of smell.
A short history on olfactory artists
Dada pioneer Marcel Duchamp is considered as the first olfactory artist. One of his most well-known creations was the character of Rrose Sélavy, an alter-ego of the artist. Femininely dressed and perfumed, Duchamp stressed conventions regarding odor and gender. A few years later, Rrose Sélavy would serve as inspiration for Duchamp's Readymade Belle Haleine, Eau de Voilette (1921), a perfume bottle based on a design of the French fashion house Rigaud.
Many artists followed in Duchamp's footsteps and worked with smell in unexpected ways. In The Smell of Fear (1996) the Canadian olfactory artist Clara Ursitti explored ways to re-enact the body smell of the Wizard of Oz-actress Judy Garland, who, due to an addiction to diet and sleeping pills, suffered from extreme body odor.
Sissel Tolaas, an artist from Norway, collected 7000 different smells in her library. One of her works revolves around the capture of the smell of the city Berlin and its different districts.
Klara Ravat herself creates installations that work with smell. One of her projects is the Multi Sensory Album (2012), a DIY-kit that allows its user to capture smells and store them as olfactory memories.
The distillation of a collective smell
During the second part of the afternoon, it was all about rolling up our sleeves and putting our noses in the smell-business. Various techniques exist for distilling smell, but we used the process of steam distillation in order to capture our body odor, since this technique doesn't break down so many odor molecules as other distillation techniques.
Although we used a professional distillation equipment, the smell extraction process is fairly simple to recreate at home by using a hot plate, pans, silicon tubes and a bucket. For the workshop, every participant was asked to bring a t-shirt that was worn for at least three days or nights. The smelliest part of the shirt (the armpit area) is best to use: this part is cut out by all participants and collected in the distiller.
By bringing the water to a boil, steam is released that penetrates the cut t-shirt parts. Then, the scented steam is divided in a separate section and cooled down. As the steam turns into liquid again, the drops of distilled scented water are captured in a flask. After 20 minutes the first batch of body-scented water is ready to be sniffed at, and indeed: it truly smells of human body. At the end of the day every participant got to bring home a little bottle with a distill of the collective body smell. A better souvenir would not have been possible!
We want to thank the participants of the Hack the Body Odor Workshop, the partners of the Hack the Body program and of course olfactory artist Klara Ravat, who made this workshop possible.

Something completely different:
The Liminal Space - Report: Seira Uchida
Or maybe try this for a change:
RegionArts News


Congressman Joe Courtney (D-CT), Congressman Tom Latham (R-IA), and Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) introduced The Improving Access to Medicare Coverage Act in the House (H.R. 1179) and the Senate.
This legislation is designed to fix the Medicare policy that excludes coverage of skilled nursing care for individuals on "observation status." Current Medicare policy dictates that a beneficiary must have an "inpatient" hospital stay of at least three days in order for Medicare to cover skilled nursing care. Patients that receive hospital care on "observation status" do not qualify for this benefit, even when their hospital stay lasts longer than three days.
This new legislation will change this arbitrary policy and allow the time spent in the hospital under "observation status" to count toward the requisite three-day hospital stay for coverage of skilled nursing care. The legislation will also establish a 90-day appeal period for those that have a qualifying hospital stay and have been denied skilled nursing care after January 1, 2013.

CNN just aired the final episode of Parts Unknown that Anthony Bourdain completed before his tragic death, but the show may not be over just yet. In fact, there is reportedly some discussion of continuing it with a new host.
The Wrap reported on this possibility, quoting a network insider as saying that they expect CNN to continue Parts Unknown without Bourdain.
"They need to helm it with somebody else," the insider said. "There's a lot of opportunity there not to give up on that mission of bringing American audiences people and food and customs with which they're not familiar with and that mission is important. People need this show."
There's not yet any word about who could replace Bourdain. But online, fans haven't received this idea particularly well, feeling that Parts Unknown was inextricably tried to Bourdain and that it should not continue without him.
Could there still be any future Parts Unknown content with Bourdain in it, though? Although last night's season finale was the last episode he fully completed prior to his death, Bourdain had already started shooting Season 12. That's what he was doing in France when he was found dead in his hotel room.
It's unclear what, if anything, CNN will do with the footage they had already shot for Season 12. It's also not clear at this time exactly how much footage the network actually has and whether it's enough for any full episodes. If so, the episodes would probably have to bring in someone else to provide the voiceover that Bourdain usually adds after filming.
It's possible this footage could be assembled into some sort of tribute show and not a proper episode, but fans are having mixed feelings about that, wanting as much Bourdain as possible but also wondering whether it's disrespectful to broadcast his final days like this.

If the Season 11 finale is the end of Parts Unknown, the last episode serves as a fitting goodbye to the beloved TV host. In it, Bourdain travels to Bhutan with director Darren Aronofsky, and Bourdain eerily discusses his own mortality, noting that for Buddhists, "It is considered therapeutic to think about death a few times a day." He also learns about the value of not taking life too seriously.
While there, Bourdain and Aronofsky also performed a Bhutanese death ritual. This episode was shot about six months prior to Bourdain's death.
Recently, Aronofsky penned an op-ed paying tribute to Bourdain. The director noted, "His death is incomprehensible. I don't know how to process him being gone." Aronofsky also said that although he shot an episode of Parts Unknown before, it was during this Bhutan trip that he really got to know Bourdain and realized what a talent he was.
Aronofsky adds:
Tony, your journeys to parts unknown will always inspire. Your shows bring the world closer together — not by making easy similarities but by revealing how unique we all are. You turned a light on what it means to be a human right now, right here on planet Earth. Thank you for letting me tag along and witness a master storyteller shape the unexpected into the relatable and unforgettable.

Ami Sioux is a photographer and musician who has shot for i-D magazine, Vogue Paris and Self Service along with many other international magazines. Raised with wanderlust in her blood, Ami's youth was spent traveling across Montana, North Dakota and California and at 16 she set out on her own travels, heading to study filmmaking and sculpture in San Francisco.
Ami's path as a photographer began in the 1990s; this journey took her from New York onto Berlin and Paris, and currently she splits her time between Los Angeles and Paris. Ami's work is based on an intimacy, one that demands a certain presence of the subjects in her images. When shooting it's as if her camera dances with the subject, finding a way to reveal a hesitance or moment where the intention of each person she photographs is bared, present and alive, unveiling that elusive space between public projection and personal introspection.
She has released four personal books; From the Road, Tokyo 35ºN, Paris 48°N, and Reykjavik 64ºN and is the founder of the Zine Nº series. As a musician she has released two full length albums: "To Take you Down" and "Stand Your Ground" and is currently working on recording her third album.

MyMusicRx-clusive: The Jonas Brothers Tell Mia Where They Want to Be
RADIO.COM has teamed up with the Children's Cancer Association and MyMusicRX, to bring questions from kids facing cancer or other serious illnesses directly to their favorite artists. Music's biggest stars like Billie Eilish, Lizzo, Marshmello, and more each took time to answer these amazing young people, and we're proud to share it with you.
Via video, we connect them for an exclusive personal response. It all happens with the help of MyMusicRX, who for over 24 years has provided one-on-one music experiences just like this to relieve some of the stress and anxiety of being in the hospital.
Mia's question was for the Jonas Brothers. The 11-year-old asked the trio, "if you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?"
"I would definitely like to be somewhere on a beach right now," Joe Jonas replies. "That'd be kinda nice."
"I'm gonna go with the mountains," Nick Jonas adds. "I like being in the snow. Kinda the opposite of Joe. I love the mountains so I'd be maybe in Colorado somewhere."
"I'll pick a city. I want to go to Paris," says Kevin Jonas.
"Paris France or Texas?" asks Joe.
"Paris, France. It's such a beautiful city. Food's great, people are awesome."
You can watch the full video of Mia and the Jonas Brothers above, and stay tuned for more videos this week from MyMusicRX and the Children's Cancer Association.
