There is so much more to humble instant noodles than meets the eye. They may symbolize everything wrong with industrial fast food and mass-produced foodstuffs, but eaters around the world have embraced the much-maligned noodle, elevating it to unexpected culinary heights.
If there is a food with a reputation problem, it has to be the instant noodle. Whether in a cup or a packet, the images of post-drinking comfort food or post-apocalypse survival rations these noodles conjure up are not exactly appealing. Instant noodles come out in times of stress, neglect, or end-of-the-month impecuniousness. For anyone who owns more kitchen appliances than a dorm room hot water kettle, they are the proof of sloth or a source of shame. They are unhealthy. They are bombs of salt, MSG, and e-numbers. According to at least one study, they cause hair loss.
Instant noodles are so strongly identified as a foodstuff of last resort that, for years, Thailand's economy rose and fell to the rhythm of the so-called datchani mama or Mama Index. When sales of Mama, the country's leading brand, went up—or so economists reasoned—it was a sign that money was tight and consumers were pinching every last satang. When sales fell, it meant that Thais had more to spend on fancier victuals and therefore on other products as well.
Amy Besa, the co-owner of the Purple Yam restaurants in Brooklyn and Manila and passionate crusader of wholesome foods and modern Filipino cuisine, makes no bones about her stand on the question. "Instant noodles are the bane of my existence and I have sworn to eradicate them from our diet. They are totally devoid of anything nutritious." End of discussion. Case closed.
Or is it? Do instant noodles deserve such a bad rap? It may or may not be a sound tool of economic forecasting, but the very existence of the Mama Index says a great deal about the preponderant role the product itself plays in everyday life: instant noodles are universal, the common denominator that knows no social or geographical boundaries. The very serious World Instant Noodles Association calculates that 270 million servings are eaten every day, just shy of a whopping 100 billion a year globally. Factories churn out millions of blocks of noodles daily from Peru to Saudi Arabia in a dizzying array of flavors suited to local palates: masala, criollo, and tom yam are common in India, South America, and Thailand, while lyophilized kimchi, cheese powder, pizza, or bacon soup bases and sweet mayonnaise are variations and add-ons that are designed to satisfy every conceivable taste.
Nothing could have been further from the mind of Momofuku Ando, the Taiwanese immigrant who took a Japanese wife and her maiden name, when almost sixty years ago he invented the process of drying noodles in hot oil—the process that went on to be voted the best invention of the twentieth century by the citizens of his adopted homeland. And how could he have imagined that what started out as a high-priced novelty meant to mimic traditional Japanese ramen would ultimately epitomize cheap food for the masses in every corner of the globe?
Instant noodles may be eaten out of necessity, but the fact of the matter is that people, well, eat them up. Millions of packets are consumed daily in their unadulterated state. An American diplomat friend, whom I'll call "Flora" to protect her otherwise worldly reputation, has carried cases of Indomie across three continents, freely admitting to her addiction and indulging whenever she needed a break from the official fare of high-powered ambassadorial receptions and hordes of war-zone correspondents. But look around and it becomes clear that unlike flash-in-the-pan ramen burger buns, there are also enduring recipes that have become fixtures, ordered and enjoyed the world over. Noodle eaters everywhere love any opportunity to make the dish their own. In many countries, dominant brands like Mama, Maggi, and Indomie have become synonymous with the instant noodle, entering the local language and culture.
At many a noodle stand in Thailand for example, stacks of Mama commonly sit behind the panes of glass alongside the old-school selection of wheat (ba mi) or thin (sen lek) or wide (sen yai) rice noodles, ready to be served in clear soup (nam sai), blood-thickened nam tok broth, or with no soup at all (haeng), and with luk chin (bouncy meatballs) or a dizzying array of meats, normal or piset (super-sized)—just another option that Thais reel off when personalizing their bowls of soup with the same exacting precision of a Starbucks devotee placing a caffeine order. Even traditional eateries have appropriated the instant noodle. The decades-old student haunt, Jeh O, bills itself as a spot for khao tom or thin rice porridge, a classic late-night, stomach-padding snack. But located in the alleys adjacent to the sprawling Chulalongkorn University in the heart of Bangkok, its real claim to fame these days is the crowds who, night after night, wait an hour or more for a massive portion of their late-night tom yam soup featuring the ubiquitous Mama, generously served in spicy broth with mixed seafood, pork, or both.
In Korea, the world's largest consumer of instant noodles per capita with over 72 servings annually, large wheels of pale noodles are added to bubbling soups and stews right at the table, including the hugely popular budae jjigae or "army base stew" that combines American rations of Spam, hot dogs, American cheese, and baked beans with kimchi, tofu, rice cakes, glass noodles, and instant ramyun. There, the noodles act more as a hearty topping than a main ingredient—the cherry on top of an improbably moreish savory cake.
Though their roots are clearly Asian, the noodles have spread far beyond Asia. "[They] are very popular in Nigeria," enthuses Nigerian food expert and cookbook author Chy Anegbu. "One in every three kids gets noodle for breakfast every morning." And with a two-thirds market share, it's safe to say that a lot of those noodles are Indomie, Indonesia's favorite brand that has become the first choice in many African and Middle Eastern countries. One of Anegbu's favorites instant noodle dishes is boiled Indomie, parboiled carrots and green beans, a handful of chopped fresh chiles for kick, raw onion, corn kernels, and a few dollops of corned beef right out of the jar, which melts right into the still-warm noodles to form a meaty sauce.
As a rule, dishes like Anegbu's corned beef Indomie are only found in the home. "It takes five minutes, why would anyone wait to eat it outside?" she asks before adding that there is one exception that everyone is familiar with: aboki Indomie. Sold in the evening on street corners by ethnic Hausas, this dish is made for "students and bachelors." It's not immediately clear if this added detail is tinged with pity, disdain, or dismissiveness. Perhaps it's a combination of all three at once. The diners make their choices between a fried egg or an egg cooked into the noodles; then pick from a variety of vegetables like carrots, cabbage, or pumpkin leaves; and finally indicate how much spiciness they desire. The aboki ("friend" in the Hausa language) does the rest right before their eyes, stirring the ingredients into the noodles. Diners can eat the steaming plates on the spot, often while standing on the side of the road with fellow diners, or take them home.
Phat Mama (fried instant noodles) has become a street food staple in Thailand, with the zing of Mama phat khi mao or drunken noodles just one of the most-ordered variations. Fried instant noodles are also a feature of Hong Kong East-meets-West cha chaan teng cafés, served with anything from luncheon meat to pork chops. In chifa cooking, Peruvian-style Chinese food, instant ramen noodles can replace egg noodles in tallarin saltado, the local version of fried noodles. The best-selling instant noodle flavors in Indonesia (mie goreng) and the Philippines (pancit Canton) are ersatzes, boiled noodles that are reminiscent of the original fried noodle dishes. But without the vaguest hint of post-modern irony, those instant noodles now get thrown back into a blazing wok and faux-fried to become real fried once again.
Not all instant noodle dishes require the heat of the wok or the soup pot. Throughout Southeast Asia, examples of mixed noodle salads abound. They share a common flavor profile (salty, sour, spicy, sweet), but in addition to the boiled noodle base, the other ingredients are only limited by the inspiration of the chef. In Thailand its simplest expression is mama phrik nam pla, chilis and fish sauce dressing on softened noodles. Yam mama sai krok adds sliced hot dogs, while ngom mee kang jop or mixed packaged noodles is the Cambodian take on the same dish. In the sleepy seaside town of Kep, diners order this dish directly on the pier, topped with highly prized Kep crab, fresh or dried shrimp, squid, and whatever happens to be in the catch of the day. In Indonesia, arem arem is a common street snack, traditionally made with coconut rice rolled into banana leaves around some kind of filling and then steamed. Originally from Kebumen in Central Java, it was originally a modest dish made primarily with vegetables, but these days the garnishes can include cooked chicken, beef, or flaked fish like canned or fresh tuna fried with seasonings. Tempeh mixed with meat or vegetables is also very popular. Arem-arem mie is a modern interpretation of the same dish in which noodles replace the rice.
Far from being a guilty pleasure, the status of many of these dishes, like that of the Jeh O tom yam, could almost be qualified as fashionable or aspirational. Noi Sisomphone, a well-traveled Laotian law student, elaborates: "In Laos, like in Thailand, we also have papaya salad and other kinds of som tam. Instant noodle som tam is one of the most preferred som tam among young people [and has become] one of the most famous street foods" in the last few years. The imported Thai brand Wai Wai is the noodle of choice, and in addition to shredded papaya, long beans, fish sauce, and lime, padek or fermented fish gives the salad a distinctively funky note that Laotians crave.
Another example of the noodle's ascension to new levels of classiness is Maggi ketam, named for the brand of reference in Malaysia and the Malay word for crab. Softened blocks of Maggi mee and chunks of locally fished crab are stir-fried with chilis and onions in a sauce thickened with eggs and tomatoes. Day-trippers trek out to Pulau Ketam or Crab Island to devour huge plates of noodles and crab before enjoying a leisurely tour of the carless island, a refreshing contrast to the ever-congested streets of Kuala Lumpur.
Malaysians, along with their neighbors in Singapore, Indonesia, and Brunei, also love murtabak, flaky dough encasing a savory filling and fried on the griddle to a crisp. In the instant noodle version of this dish of Indian origin, eggs bind the noodles that are fried into a cake not unlike a frittata. It is now a regular feature in the pasar malam or night markets throughout the region.
Even great chefs can be unapologetic about their taste for instant noodles. For Gaggan Anand, whose eponymous Gaggan has topped the Asia's 50 Best Restaurants list three years running, Maggi 2 Minutes is his madeleine de Proust. "It's always in my luggage after a trip to India," his native country. It was the dish that started him on the road to a life in the kitchen. "Maggi 2 Minutes was my first cooking experiment when I was 10 years old. I added the vegetables exactly as pictured on the packaging. I remember it exactly." Several experiments soon followed. In the end, Anand discovered that doctoring up the noodles wasn't the answer. "It didn't taste good. No salt. Bland. First timers!" Now when he enjoys them, he eats them instant and leaves them well enough alone.
When prodded, even the combative Besa, who has sworn off instant noodles, admits a weakness for a dry mix of instant noodles, steamed veggies, and greens with toppings like peanuts, sugar, and toasted garlic. "Man, I was addicted to that salad," she says wistfully.
There may be good reasons not to give in to the siren song of the instant noodle. Or maybe not. That question is a matter of conscience best left between the diner and the diner's food gods or demons. But the mouth-watering allure of instant noodles is undeniable. And ultimately irresistible.

In the first half, complexity scientist Samuel Arbesman addressed how our technological systems are becoming too advanced for human comprehension. The same technological advances that have simplified our lives have made the systems governing our lives overly complicated, and even dangerous at times, he argues. While we reap the benefits of more complex and sophisticated technology and software, when there's a problem, a variety of interconnecting systems can be affected in ways that aren't always predictable, he cautioned. Our new amalgams of technology might have millions and millions of variables, and we end up with a mismatch between the kinds of things that humans are really good at understanding, such as small linear operations, and the complex variations in these systems, he explained.
Arbesman enthused over the rise of computational creativity and human-machine partnerships, citing the example of how a computer playing chess with the aid of a human, can actually play better than just a computer alone. He also spoke about the renaissance happening with AI, such as with self-driving cars, computer-generated writing, the ability to recognize and categorize images, and translating languages. These advances are really changing our perception about what technology can do, he remarked.
In the latter half, M.J. Evans, Ph.D., a professor emeritus at SUNY Empire State College, spoke about the work of the late Zecharia Sitchin. She was acquainted with Sitchin for nearly 20 years, and accompanied him on several tours to ancient sites in the Mediterranean region. His groundbreaking research based on translations of Sumerian cuneiform, proposed that an ET race called the Anunnaki came to Earth from Nibiru, a planet in our solar system on a long elliptical orbit. Once here, they genetically altered proto-humans so they could work as gold mining slaves.
Sitchin said they were two types of Anunnaki, one was the leadership, who were known as the Nephilim, the other were the rank and file workers, Evans pointed out. Eventually, there was a battle between Nephilim factions, and atomic weapons were used on seven locations, including a spaceport in the Sinai Peninsula, she continued. According to Evans, Sitchin had a circular notion about time, and that if these nuclear attacks occurred in 2024 BC, they will occur again in 2024 AD-- information that might save the human race. She characterized Sitchin as a genius, and views him as a "reporter" rather than a theorist.

The Manson File: Myth and Reality of an Outlaw Shaman
Nikolas Schreck
Summing up 25 years of Nikolas Schreck's research into the Charles Manson phenomenon, this Book of Revelations illuminates unknown dimensions of Manson as philosopher, musician, Gnostic mystic, Mafia fall guy, revolutionary, and friend, lover and drug dealer to 1960s Hollywood's best-known rock stars and movie idols.
The first comprehensive study of Manson's life, times, crimes, and thought, this is the ultimate guide to the Manson mysteries, portraying the human being behind the media-created monster's many masks.
Drawing on police evidence suppressed during Manson's trial, Schreck exposes the "Helter Skelter" legend as one of the twentieth century's greatest cover-ups, unveils the hidden Mafia drug-dealing background of the "Manson murders" and traces the underworld connections linking the victims to their killers. The author's recent conversations with Manson and others directly involved in the psychedelic era's apocalypse allow the true story kept secret for decades to be told at last.
Jacket design artist/graphic designer and all chapter plates by Zeena Schreck. "Easter Monday Audience with the Underworld Pope: Charles Manson Interviewed and Decoded" is Zeena's full transcript with introduction and annotations of the raw footage of Nikolas Schreck's interview to his documentary, Charles Manson Superstar.


SADIO MANE is now Liverpool's biggest threat with the Senegal forward in the form of his life at Anfield.
And Premier League pundit Danny Higginbotham has explained how he has usurped Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino.
The former defender has also revealed how clubs can quell Mane's threat of danger, with Tottenham his next potential victims.
Liverpool welcome third-placed Spurs to Merseyside after the international break on Sunday, March 31.
While attention has largely been paid to 2018 PFA Player of the Year Salah and Brazilian No.9 goalscorer Firmino this term, Mane has demonstrated his major influence since the turn of the year.
His two performances this week away to Bayern Munich and Fulham epitomised this as he led the way in two crucial victories.
He scored the Reds' opening goals in both wins as the Bundesliga champions and Premier League rivals failed to cope with the 26-year-old.
Higginbotham has urged Mauricio Pochettino's Tottenham to pay attention to keeping their full-backs wide to get close on Mane and stop him causing a threat in the penalty area.
"Mane is near-enough Liverpool's most important player right now and, with 11 goals in his last 11 games in all competitions, he is in the form of his life," Higginbotham wrote in his column for The Sun.
"He has clearly benefited from that hugely, as he showed again yesterday.
His two performances this week away to Bayern Munich and Fulham optimised this as he led the way in two crucial victories.
"Teams will look at Salah's pace and goals, and Firmino's movement and assists before worrying about Mane.
"While those two play narrow — along with an attacking midfielder, with Adam Lallana playing that role at Craven Cottage — Mane gets out wide.
"With those threats through the middle, the opposition defence has to be tight and narrow.
"Mane uses his intelligence to keep his width, giving him time to get into his stride before the full-back can get out to him.
"While he starts wide, Mane drives infield towards the box and this season he is getting more touches in the box than previously.
"Against Fulham, while Salah was clearly the furthest forward for Liverpool, Mane only had two fewer touches in their box.

It's been 10 years since the collapse of Lehman Brothers and the onset of the global financial crisis.
It sent a series of credit shocks and bank crashes that led to the deepest world recession for a generation and a decade of slow growth and painful repair.
The night before the bankruptcy filing, Lehman employees were already packing their belongings and abandoning their desks.
One month later Former Lehman Brothers CEO Richard Fuld testified before a House panel investigating the financial crisis.
The Ex-Chairman of Lehman Brothers, Richard Fuld says, "But I wake up every single night thinking what could I have done differently?"
The consequences were disastrous - a global systemic risk that almost brought down the entire financial system.
The US Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson says, "We saw market turmoil reach a new level last week, and spill over into the rest of the economy."
Not only into the rest of the US economy, but also across the Atlantic.
Alistair Darling was the Finance Minister of the United Kingdom at the time of Lehman's collapse and oversaw the subsequent bailout of the Royal Bank of Scotland.
Former UK Finance Minister Alistair Darling says, "I was asked by my private secretary to take a call from the then chairman of RBS, and it didn't surprise me that he wanted to speak to me, but he said look, 'we're hemorrhaging money'. I said 'look you know we've got a plan and we're almost ready to go, how long can you last?' There was a silence and he said, 'we're going to run out of money in the afternoon'. It's about two three hours time. It's one of the few calls I've had where it sent a shiver down my spine".
Later, the US Congress passed the Dodd-Frank law which called for hundreds of new rules, including new oversight of the massive swaps market, mortgages and consumer financial products, and large nonbank financial firms.
The markets have stabilized since their free-fall in 2008, but where might the next crisis come from??
The IMF Managing Director, Christine Lagarde says, "Because we don't know where the next crisis will come from. We have to continue to be very very attentive, particularly to the shadow banking system, particularly to the role that Fin Tech will play in the financial system going forward, with stability in mind. Not the view to restrict innovation, not the view to keep the status quo but within mind the imperative of stability."
With the increasing reliance on technology, some say the next financial crisis might be triggered by a cyberattack.

Lawsuit puts Potala Place's street-level retail space in limbo
2016/12/30 5:23amPath America 467
EVERETT — Nearly all of Potala Place's 220 apartments are leased, but the ground-floor windows reveal bare concrete and exposed pipes inside.
The project promises to bring an upscale food market and shops to downtown Everett. However, the street-level retail space is still unfinished, except for the Choux Choux Bakery, which opened this spring, and there is no clear end in sight.
Potala Place's market is at the center of a federal lawsuit in U.S. District Court for Western Washington accusing its developer, Lobsang Dargey, of fraud.
He is fighting a proposal by the court-appointed receiver, Michael Grassmueck, to finish Potala Place's commercial space.
Grassmueck's plan is a modified version of one approved this summer by U.S. District Judge James Robart. The earlier version, which Dargey backed at the time, foundered when lenders either rejected loan requests or offered "unreasonable" terms, according to a filing by Grassmueck's attorney in early December.
He estimates completing the Everett project will cost about $4.9 million, according to the filing.
The receiver's modified plan relies less on an outside loan to finish the project mostly due to cash coming in from apartment leases and from the October sale of Potala Tower, Dargey's planned skyscraper in Seattle. It also proposes hiring Steve Carlin, a Napa, California-based developer who has been involved with Potala Place off and on for several years, to manage the retail space and run the food market.
Dargey's attorney filed a motion in mid-December, asking Robart to reject Grassmueck's plan and approve the sale of Potala Place. That proposed deal, which Dargey orchestrated, is for Las Vegas-based EB5 Group to buy the project from Dargey's company, Path America SnoCo. EB5 Group is connected to the Molasky Group, one of Potala Tower's two buyers. The proposed sale, the filing argues, is the best hope for protecting the project's investors.
The filing accused the receiver of wasting money and time, claims that were rejected by Grassmueck and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which filed the lawsuit against Dargey in August 2015.
The SEC accuses the developer of defrauding investors on Potala Place and Potala Tower and misappropriating millions of dollars from investors.
The FBI is conducting a criminal investigation into Dargey. No charges have been filed.
From the beginning, Dargey has denied any wrongdoing.
Dargey's plan is short on details and puts his interests before investors', SEC attorneys said in a court filing from Dec. 22.
Eighty-four Chinese citizens invested more than $40 million in Potala Place under the federal EB-5 program, which offers foreigners and their families a shortcut to a green card in exchange for bankrolling projects creating jobs in the United States.
The allegations could sink investors' hopes of becoming permanent American residents. Many already had moved here on a temporary status pending the project's completion.
Now, they might have to leave the country.
In late November, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, which runs the EB-5 program, determined that the Everett project does not qualify for the program based on the fraud allegations and other factors. Grassmueck has appealed the decision.
More than 40 of the investors filed a motion Dec. 23, asking Robart to approve the receiver's new plan and set deadlines for finishing the project.
Dargey got his start in Everett, where he renovated several properties and, in 2011, opened a smaller apartment building with ground-floor shops, Potala Village.

Specify the x and y coordinates, which are relative to the origin of the destination rectangle.
Specifies the bit plane. You must set exactly one bit to 1.
Specify the source and destination rectangles to be combined.
Specify the width and height, which are the dimensions of both the source.
The XCopyArea function combines the specified rectangle of src with the specified rectangle of dest. The drawables must have the same root and depth, or a BadMatch error results.
If regions of the source rectangle are obscured and have not been retained in backing store or if regions outside the boundaries of the source drawable are specified, those regions are not copied. Instead, the following occurs on all corresponding destination regions that are either visible or are retained in backing store. If the destination is a window with a background other than None, corresponding regions of the destination are tiled with that background (with plane-mask of all ones and GXcopy function). Regardless of tiling or whether the destination is a window or a pixmap, if graphics-exposures is True, then GraphicsExpose events for all corresponding destination regions are generated. If graphics-exposures is True but no GraphicsExpose events are generated, a NoExpose event is generated. Note that by default graphics-exposures is True in new GCs.
This function uses these GC components: function, plane-mask, subwindow-mode, graphics-exposures, clip-x-origin, clip-y-origin, and clip-mask.
XCopyArea can generate BadDrawable, BadGC, and BadMatch errors.
The XCopyPlane function uses a single bit plane of the specified source rectangle combined with the specified GC to modify the specified rectangle of dest. The drawables must have the same root but need not have the same depth. If the drawables do not have the same root, a BadMatch error results. If plane does not have exactly one bit set to 1 and the value of plane is not less than %2 sup n%, where n is the depth of src, a BadValue error results.
Effectively, XCopyPlane forms a pixmap of the same depth as the rectangle of dest and with a size specified by the source region. It uses the foreground/background pixels in the GC (foreground everywhere the bit plane in src contains a bit set to 1, background everywhere the bit plane in src contains a bit set to 0) and the equivalent of a CopyArea protocol request is performed with all the same exposure semantics. This can also be thought of as using the specified region of the source bit plane as a stipple with a fill-style of FillOpaqueStippled for filling a rectangular area of the destination.
This function uses these GC components: function, plane-mask, foreground, background, subwindow-mode, graphics-exposures, clip-x-origin, clip-y-origin, and clip-mask.
XCopyPlane can generate BadDrawable, BadGC, BadMatch, and BadValue errors.

Stringer calls on state to deny permits for Staten Island BJ's
Ryan Deffenbaugh
Scott Stringer is calling on state environmental regulators to reject permits for a proposed BJ's development on Staten Island that the comptroller claims would damage valuable wetlands. Representatives for the developer, meanwhile, responded by pointing out that the project received local approvals long ago and said the development will create jobs while preserving the area's wetlands.
Queens developer swamped by progressive wave
Plans call for a 226,000-square-foot commercial plaza near the borough's Arlington neighborhood, with a BJ's Wholesale Club, gas station, supermarket and other retail. But neighbors in a community group have fought against the project since it was proposed in 2017, the Staten Island Advance reports. The neighbors say it could damage about 18 acres of wetlands, known as the Graniteville Swamp, near the Staten Island Expressway. The developer says the project includes a full mitigation plan to preserve the wetlands.
In a statement released Friday, Stringer took up the opponents cause. He said commercial development on the wetlands could make the North Shore more vulnerable to future storms. Homes bordering Graniteville were mostly spared from the most disastrous impacts of Superstorm Sandy because the swamplands absorbed the force of incoming winds and waves, Stringer argued.
"Wetlands, like the Graniteville Swamp, serve to protect our communities from stormwater flooding and coastal erosion, and they are a critical part of New York City's ecosystem," Stringer said. He called on the state Department of Environmental Conservation to deny permits for the project.
An attorney for the developer responded Friday, pointing out that the project was approved almost two years ago by local officials. "Our plan fully preserves and protects the wetlands, as shown on the approved site plan," project attorney Mitchell Korbey said. "Our plan received all sign offs after an exhaustive vetting by all relevant agencies—and our special permit was approved by the City Council, the borough president and the Planning Commission."
The project's permit application says the development would impact about 0.4 acres of state-regulated wetlands. The plan includes about 11 acres of mitigation measures, including preserved natural areas and a stormwater management area, according to the Advance.
The comment period for the DEC's review of final permits for the project closes today. The review of state permits required for the project's construction was delayed this year while the DEC attempted to determine whether the grounds were home to a rare turtle.

Scott Clapham peers down into a cavernous dry dock at the Aker Philadelphia Shipyard. He points to massive pieces of steel, some covered with a light dusting of snow. When assembled, they will form a 115,000-ton oil tanker.
It's one of two oil tankers being constructed for SeaRiver Maritime, a subsidiary of Exxon Mobil, costing $200 million apiece. It takes roughly 1,000 workers more than a year to build, and the shipyard already has orders for four more tankers and two container ships, says Clapham, the senior vice president of Aker Philadelphia. He says orders for large vessels have shot up in the past year.
"We've seen, since 2013, just a steady increase in demand for the ships, both here in Philadelphia and other shipyards across the country," Clapham says.

The energy boom in the U.S. is having a knock-on effect on the country's shipbuilding industry. Matthew Paxton, president of the Shipbuilders Council of America, says there is a relative boom in the construction of larger vessels at major shipyards across the country, especially oil tankers. He says three years ago, the tanker market wasn't even on the screen, but shale formations in North Dakota and Texas have changed that.
"All this oil is coming down to the Gulf Coast, and we're going to need to move that oil around the United States to refiners," he says.
There are more than 15 oil tankers, along with hundreds of smaller tugs and barges, on order at U.S. shipyards across the country, according to the American Maritime Partnership. But it will take months, if not years, to build them.
In the meantime, the domestic energy supply is booming, yet oil companies cannot bring in foreign ships to help move the oil and gas around the country thanks to a 1920s federal law called the Jones Act. Tom Allegretti, the chairman of the American Maritime Partnership, says under the Jones Act, you can only move cargo between two ports in the U.S. under certain conditions.
"You need to do that on a vessel that is flagged under U.S. law, that is crewed by American citizens and that is built in a U.S. shipyard," Allegretti says. He says the Jones Act helps create jobs and keeps U.S. waterways in the hands of Americans.
But others say the Jones Act is pure protectionism for shipbuilders and unions. William Gray, an expert and consultant in shipbuilding, operations and regulations, says a lack of competition means the U.S. shipbuilders became less efficient and not as technologically advanced as builders in other parts of the world.
"The designing of ships and the engines for ships and the equipment for ships; the United States was not very good at figuring out how to do that," Gray says.
Gray says shipbuilding in the U.S. has declined dramatically since World War II, and that there are only a handful of major shipyards now. A good percentage of those vessels being built are ordered by the Navy. Gray says the industry cannot keep up with the demand for merchant ships at an affordable price.
"We have very few of these shipyards that we used to have that made the larger ships: tankers, bulk carriers and container ships," he says. He says the cost is about three times as much as you find in shipyards in China, Japan and South Korea.
Aker Philadelphia Shipyard's Clapham agrees the Jones Act allows U.S. builders to capitalize on the surge in domestic oil and gas. He says without that federal law, ships would more likely be built overseas.
"The Jones Act, with its requirement to be built in the U.S., greatly helps support the manufacturing facility that you see here," he says.
But until more tankers come on line, energy companies may have to rely more on rail, pipeline and road to transport the glut of domestic oil and gas.

Malkit Shoshan, née en 1976 à Haïfa, est une universitaire, architecte et commissaire d'exposition israélienne.

Biographie

Malkit Shoshan naît à Haïfa en 1976.

Elle étudie l'architecture à l'Université IUAV de Venise ainsi qu'au Technion à Haïfa.

Elle fonde le think-tank architectural FAST (Foundation for Achieving Seamless Territory), qui étudie les relations entre architecture et réalité du terrain dans les zones de conflit tels que le Proche-Orient, le Kosovo ou l'Afghanistan.

En 2002, elle contribue au pavillon israélien de l'Exposition internationale d'architecture de Venise en produisant un magazine avec Foundation of 40, une ONG israélienne reconnaissant les villages palestiniens. Ce magazine est une série d'illustrations expliquant les politiques spatiales au Proche-Orient.

Elle publie en 2010 le livre Atlas of the conflict traitant des liens entre stratégies militaires et organisation spatiale en Israël et en Palestine.

Chercheuse au Het Nieuwe Instituut à Rotterdam dans le domaine de l'architecture, du design et des nouveaux médias, elle est commissaire d'exposition du pavillon néerlandais pour la 15ème Exposition internationale d'architecture de Venise, qui s'appuie sur ses travaux explorant le statut de l'architecture et du paysage en temps de guerre, ou encore l'espace public comme zone de combat. L'exposition se focalise sur une partie de ses récits d'architecture dans les zones de conflit : le Camp Castor près de Gao, au Mali, où sont impliquées des forces militaires néerlandaises. La base y est décrite comme un îlot autosuffisant, déconnecté de son contexte immédiat. Malkit Shoshan plaide pour associer le design aux autres missions onusiennes des Casques bleus : défense, diplomatie et développement. Selon elle, cette nouvelle charge permettrait de mettre en valeur les défis spatiaux et les opportunités offertes par une telle situation.

Things You Might Not Know About John Stamos And Caitlin McHugh's Relationship
When it comes to surprising and low-key celebrity couples, former One Tree Hill star Hilarie Burton and beloved actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan are at the top of the list. The pair are loved individually by fans, but together they are a superstar couple, but also extremely elusive and private, so much so that some don't even know they are together! They have now been going strong for over seven years, leaving us with these 12 things not widely known about their adorable romance and relationship:
12. They Love Candy
Despite being beloved stars, the two live a very low-key life, and actually co-own a candy store in Rhinebeck, New York, called Samuel's Sweet Shop. After the passing of the owner, Morgan and Burton, fellow actor Paul Rudd and his wife Julie, and their friend Andy and his wife all bought the store. In an interview, Morgan revealed that Hilarie, Julie, and Andy's wife, Phoebe, are very hands on and are the ones that keep it running smoothly.

11. How They Met
Despite a 16 year age difference between the two stars, mutual friends of the pair thought Burton and Morgan would get along great, so they set them up on a blind date in 2009! The pair met thanks to Morgan's former Supernatural co-star Jensen Ackles, who just so happens to be married to Danneel Harris who starred on One Tree Hill with Burton. In an interview, Morgan explained, "I happened to be single and Jensen said 'I've got a girl you should meet,' and so I went to a bar and I met Hilarie at a bar with Jensen and Danneel, and, well, the rest is kind of history." He also revealed that everyone got pretty drunk on the double date, adding, "We ended up back at my house drinking shots of tequila."

While some blind dates can be awkward, that was certainly not the case for the two stars, and they began dating directly after. Morgan also revealed in an interview with Huffpost Live that after their blind date she was supposed to go to North Carolina the next day and then she was leaving for Paris, but he changed her mind. The actor said he talked Burton into not going to Paris but instead to going with him to New Mexico where he was filming The Resident, and they have been together ever since.

9. Going Public
Although the two began dating in May of 2009, they were careful to keep their relationship under wraps until they finally confirmed their relationship in 2010. The pair made their first ever appearance as a couple on April 20, 2010 for the premiere of Morgan's film The Losers. Of course, fans were ecstatic to see the two amazing actors together and a source confirmed, "Their relationship moved pretty quickly."

8. Past Loves
Now, Morgan and Burton have been together for over seven years, but it was a long road to happiness for them both. In 1992, Morgan was married to actress Anya Longwell, and after they divorced, he began dating actress Mary Louise Parker in 2006 after they met on the set of Weeds. The two announced their engagement in February of 2008, but broke up only a few months later in April. Meanwhile Hilarie Burton married Ian Prange, the son of One Tree Hill's executive producer Greg Prange, in 2004, but they divorced in 2009 shortly before Burton began dating Morgan. Despite reports of her marriage, Burton stated in 2019 that she was never married and divorced from Prange.

7. Marriage?
As an extremely private couple, there were constant rumors about a wedding, but never any proof that it actually happened, and by 2014 they were calling each other "husband" and "wife" but never gave any details about a wedding. In 2014 there were reports that the couple married in a very small and extremely private ceremony, but the following year Morgan denied the rumors and said they were planning on getting married when he had enough time off work. While there was still no confirmation of a wedding, in a May interview Morgan directly referred to Hilarie as his "wife." On October 7, 2019, the couple revealed that they had been married that past weekend after 10 years together.

6. Baby News
With a whirlwind romance that went from a blind date to a full blown relationship extremely quickly, the two did not take much time before taking another huge step in their relationship. In August of 2009, only a couple months after they began dating, Burton became pregnant with the couple's first child and she promptly went into hiding for the duration of the pregnancy. The two did not confirm the birth of their child until months later and it was finally revealed by Morgan that in March of 2010 the pair welcomed a son they named Augustus "Gus" Morgan. In September 2017, the two confirmed they were expecting their second child and on February 16, 2018 welcomed a daughter named George Virginia Morgan.

5. Journey to Baby Number Two
In a very rare move, the couple which more open about the birth of their daughter. Not only did they announce her birth and share photos, Burton even shared their heartbreaking and emotional struggles on their journey to have their daughter. In early March, Burton took to her Instagram to reveal that they had their daughter, and joked she made an announcement because of Morgans "track record for spilling the beans" but to also share her story of miscarrying. "As some of you know, @jeffreydeanmorgan is off in Europe getting ready to do some big conventions. And he's self aware enough to know his track record for "spilling the beans" isn't so great (bless his heart!). So before he starts tripping up in an attempt to maintain our privacy, he asked that I go ahead and post something about our little girl's birth," Burton began the post. "But before I do that, there's something I really want to say to all the women out there who are trying…..It took a long time for Jeffrey and I to have this baby. The first time I got pregnant, it took a year and a half. I surprised him on Christmas with baby Seahawk booties. We cried. We celebrated. We picked out names. And we lost that baby." She went on to share that they had more miscarriages and she began to become more and more upset which made her even more cautious when she became pregnant with their daughter. "So when this pregnancy started, we were cautious. I didn't want to celebrate for fear of jinxing it. I didn't want a baby shower. I checked her heartbeat every day, up until the day she was born. And now that she is here, I just stare at her in wonder all day. I see her in her daddy's arms and I don't take any of it for granted. She screams bloody murder and I smile because she is so wildly alive." Burton concluded her post with an inspirational messages for couples going through the same difficulties and added a birth announcement.

4. Being Parents
Even though the proud parents kept their son a secret for quite awhile, they eventually couldn't help but gush about him a year after his birth in 2011. The two were on the red carpet for the premiere of Breaking Dawn: Part 1 where Morgan revealed that Gus had just began saying "no!" When asked what he says "no" to, Burton added, "Everything! What's your favorite color?' 'No!'" Morgan called being a parent "spectacular," but also added, "It's hard. Between the two of us, we've had our hands full. But we've managed to do it without any help. We have babysitters now and again, but we don't have nannies. We wing it, man." He also joked, "This is our second pseudo adult night out. I'm going to say pseudo because I'm not sure if Twilight is an adult night. It's a night out."

3. The Farm
Early on in their relationship, the two lived in L.A., but it shouldn't be too surprising that the elusive pair weren't fans of the bustling city. They ended up buying a log cabin when their son arrived in 2010, but quickly outgrew the log cabin and in 2013 they bought a farm near Rhinebeck, New York, and they love their rural life. "I am very happy living here on our farm. If I never work again, I'm a happy camper, because I have all these other amazing creative outlets," Burton said of her life with Morgan. "The first weekend we met, we daydreamed, 'Hey, I want to own a farm. I want to own a shop.' And now, we live in this beautiful little town, and we have a farm and we have a shop that we care so very much about."

2. Similar Careers
Although they didn't meet until 2009, the two have had funny similarities in their careers. First of all, the pair were both stars on beloved CW shows as Jeffrey Dean Morgan starred in Supernatural as John Winchester for 12 episodes from 2005-2008. Meanwhile Hilarie Burton starred on One Tree Hill as Peyton Sawyer from 2003-2009. Then, they coincidentally both had stints on the hit series Grey's Anatomy as well. From 2006-2009 Morgan appeared as Denny Duquette for 23 episodes of the series, and years later Burton appeared in three episodes as Dr. Lauren Boswell. Finally the pair also both appeared in the series Extant with Morgan starring in 13 episodes and Burton appearing in six, and it helped the pair because Morgan was hesitant to take the role because it was in L.A. far away from his family. "When I took the job, the deal was, 'We'll get you home as much as possible,' and that just hasn't worked out. But Hilarie got a job on Extant, which was fantastic. You'll see her a couple of times throughout the season, so that's one way we've been able to keep the family sort of together," he explained.

1. Good Cop, Bad Cop
For many it was odd seeing the charming and lovable Morgan take on the villainous, cruel and murderous role of Negan on The Walking Dead, but according to Burton it has made him even better when he is at home. "It's made him good cop at home. He gets all his bad cop stuff out of the way at work and then he comes home and he's happy dad," she revealed to ET. "I'm sweet all the time. And my kid thinks I'm cool, so that works," Morgan added of the perks of playing Negan. "I take out the trash."

Q: Android - Copying item from one listview to another listview I've been working on this Android project and have been struggling with it. I currently have two listviews, both displaying data.
I'm unsure how to copy an item from one listview to another when that item is clicked.
Here is my code:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {

private ListView mListView1, mListView2;

private String [] rock ={"The Beatles", "The Rolling Stones", "Jimi Hendrix", "Elvis Presley", "Pink Floyd", "AC/DC"};
private String [] pop ={"Michael Jackson", "Beyonce", "Rihanna", "Justin Bieber", "Lady Gaga", "Katy Perry"};

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    mListView1 = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.listView1);
    mListView2 = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.listView2);

    mListView1.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, rock));
    mListView2.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, pop));

    ListUtils.setDynamicHeight(mListView1);
    ListUtils.setDynamicHeight(mListView2);
}

public static class ListUtils {
    public static void setDynamicHeight(ListView mListView) {
        ListAdapter mListAdapter = mListView.getAdapter();
        if (mListAdapter == null) {
            // when adapter is null
            return;
        }
        int height = 0;
        int desiredWidth = MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(mListView.getWidth(), MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED);
        for (int i = 0; i < mListAdapter.getCount(); i++) {
            View listItem = mListAdapter.getView(i, null, mListView);
            listItem.measure(desiredWidth, MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED);
            height += listItem.getMeasuredHeight();
        }
        ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = mListView.getLayoutParams();
        params.height = height + (mListView.getDividerHeight() * (mListAdapter.getCount() - 1));
        mListView.setLayoutParams(params);
        mListView.requestLayout();
    }
}

}
and then my main.xml:
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:fillViewport="true" >

<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:padding="10dip" >

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:gravity="center_vertical"
        android:text="Rock" />

    <ListView
        android:id="@+id/listView1"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginTop="10dip"
        android:background="#B29090" >
    </ListView>

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginTop="10dip"
        android:gravity="center_vertical"
        android:text="Pop" />

    <ListView
        android:id="@+id/listView2"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginTop="10dip"
        android:background="#4A9C67" >
    </ListView>
</LinearLayout>

For example, when The Beatles is clicked on I would like it to be copied into the pop listview.
I have tried using this (below example found on another answer) but it would not work as it said the listview didn't have an add() or notifyDataSetChange() method.
listView1.setOnItemClickListener(this);

public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
    datasListView2.add(valuesListView1.get(position));
    listView2.notifyDataSetChange();
}

A: So you have 2 lists, rock and pop right? and you want when you click on an item on the first listView (The one that displays the rock list) to copy that item to the second listView (The one that displays the pop list).
You just need to add that item to the "pop" list then call notifyDataSetChange() on the listview adapter.
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
    pop.add(rock.get(position));
    mListView2.getAdapter().notifyDataSetChange();
}

That should be pretty easy but maybe you dont want to modify that "pop" list and only the list that is shown in the adapter?
In that case you should store a copy of the array inside each of the adapters, so you will be able to modify it without affecting the main list.
To achieve that you will need to subclass the adapter you are using.
Hope this helps.

A: private String [] rock ={"The Beatles", "The Rolling Stones", "Jimi Hendrix", "Elvis Presley", "Pink Floyd", "AC/DC"};
private String [] pop ={"Michael Jackson", "Beyonce", "Rihanna", "Justin Bieber", "Lady Gaga", "Katy Perry"};

private List rocklist = new ArrayList();
private List poplist = new ArrayList();
private ArrayAdapter adapterRock;
private ArrayAdapter adapterPop;
private ListView mListView1;
private ListView mListView2;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    for(String a : rock){
        rocklist.add(a);
    }
    for (String b : pop){
        poplist.add(b);
    }

    mListView1 = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.listView1);
    mListView2 = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.listView2);
    adapterRock =  new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, rocklist);
    mListView1.setAdapter(adapterRock);
    adapterPop = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, poplist);
    mListView2.setAdapter(adapterPop);

    mListView1.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
            poplist.add(rocklist.get(position));
            adapterPop.notifyDataSetChanged();
        }
    });

Q: How can I include directories with project relative paths in CMake? I am developing a product with a team using CMake. We have several Visual Studio projects (libraries and executables) inside of our CMake project which reference other project headers (via target_include_directories()). In a source file these header includes look like:
#include "some_header.h"    // from project_x
#include "another_header.h" // from project_y

I'd like to be able to include these headers with paths that reference the project they are pulled from, e.g.:
#include "project_x/some_header.h"
#include "project_y/another_header.h"

What is the most acceptable way to do this? I have thought of a couple solutions:

*

*Add the directory which contains the project as an include path. This has the undesirable side-effect of including everything and seems like a bad solution.

*Include a subfolder of the project called 'include' which contains a folder named with the same as the project, which creates a slightly redundant path: /<project_name>/include/<project_name>/<...>
There is a third solution, to use a shared include directory with a subfolder for each project, but it will not work for our project because we group our build projects by category in the file system and Visual Studio solution and it will cause the folder structure inside of /include/ to diverge from the rest of source tree which is undesirable.
Are there any better (or more canonical/idiomatic) ways to accomplish this?

A: If you have a project structure like this:
project_x/some_header.h
project_y/another_header.h

and you want to keep all of your CMakeLists the same, then I would introduce another folder in each project:
project_x/project_x/some_header.h
project_y/project_y/another_header.h

Of course, this requires changing the includes in each project to reflect this new structure, including the project where the header is defined proper.
There's some precedence to this, as this is how curl and googletest do it.
Edit: I understand this is very similar to the second approach you outlined. If your directory structure already employs include directories, then my suggestion is exactly the same as your second one. At the very least, this should confirm your intuition that this isn't an entirely absurd thing to do, even if it creates some redundancy.

FMA Again – It's time for a different song
By Michelle E. Brown|2006-06-08T09:00:00-04:00June 8th, 2006|Opinions|
Every era has a song that symbolizes the hopes, fears, dreams and aspirations of the country at that time. As people started to come together forming unions to protect their rights and for safer working conditions, workers marched against the establishment singing "Solidarity Forever."
Later, civil rights, peace and labor activists linked arms against segregation, racism and discrimination, marching not just in the South but also in cities across the country, including the nation's capitol, to the refrains of "We Shall Overcome."
As the 1990s brought to a close another century we were feeling hopeful under a Clinton-Gore administration ushered in by Fleetwood Mac's "Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow." Despite "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," the travel office controversy and a litany of missteps, scandals and innuendos ultimately leading to impeachment, the economy was strong, unemployment was low, and median household income was up. But more important than the economic gains were the social gains for Americans with disabilities, senior citizens, women, Native Americans, Hispanics, African-Americans and the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender communities. It was not perfection, but it was a promise of a tomorrow "better than before."
Those of us not planning for an apocalyptic end when the clock struck midnight Dec. 31, 1999, were planning for a Gore presidency. We didn't want to stop thinking about that tomorrow that would soon be here "better than before" because yesterday was gone, or so we thought.
The 2000 election rocked our optimism when, despite Al Gore winning the electoral vote, the presidency went to George W. Bush with a far right constituency that believed more in the status quo of the past than the promise of a diverse, inclusive future.
While we had been shaken by the senseless acts of hate and violence against LGBT Americans in the past – including the rape and murder of Brandon Teena, the murders of Matthew Shepard, Rodney Velazquez, and the 15-year-old Sakia Gunn – we found hope in the legalization of civil unions in Vermont, the striking down of state sodomy laws with the Lawrence vs. Texas ruling and then the legalization of marriage in Massachusetts.
The promise of an awakening from the strangle hold of the far right's doctrine of hate and discrimination seemed possible with the 2004 elections. But instead of equality, we woke up with no change in the White House, a deeper shift to the right in both the House and Senate and 11 states, including Michigan, denying recognition of LGBT households by banning gay marriage.
Instead of awakening into a brave new world, we sunk into a long dark slumber with many people committed to social justice, not just in the LGBT community but in the straight community as well, singing a new song: "Shake me, Wake me When It's Over."
With the 2006 midterm elections looming in the not too distant future, I continue to wonder just what it will take to shake us hard enough to awaken us from this nightmare.
Doesn't the 25th anniversary of the HIV/AIDS pandemic which continues to claim millions victims in the United States and across the world – over 25 million dead and 40 million infected – shake you to your core?
Aren't you still shaking from the images following Hurricane Katrina of thousands of poor and elderly residents of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast stranded on rooftops and warehoused in arenas pleading for help?
Aren't you shaken every day by the reports of deaths of soldiers and civilians from the war in Iraq? Don't you start to shake even more when you realize we were lied to about the reasons for war, there is no clear exit plan and now the global community is charging us with the very atrocities – torture, illegal detention and possibly murder – we are fighting against?
Corruption of elected officials on both sides of the aisle; leaks from within the administration exposing CIA operatives; lack of affordable healthcare; a failing education system; a widening gap between the rich and the poor; rising gas prices; a divisive immigration policy and the threat of another global conflict with a nuclear armed Iran – are you shaking yet? Then join the crowd. It's time to wake up.
But apparently many of our elected officials in Washington D.C. don't quite see it that way. On June 5, after return from their Memorial Day recess, instead of attacking the real problems facing the nation senators will spend their time on a divisive and unnecessary debate over a proposed constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage. An amendment even supporters readily concede has virtually no chance of passing and that is not a priority for any group of voters anywhere in the country. President Bush even plans to once again give this discriminatory amendment the prestige of a statement from the Rose Garden. A House vote on the Federal Marriage Amendment is expected before the elections in November.
So why bring it up again? Why now? Is it just a transparent effort to energize the same electoral base that delivered the White House in 2004 in time for the 2006 elections and ultimately for another victory in 2008? Somebody tell me that they are dreaming to believe that this blatant pandering to the far right will ring true to the majority of Americans.
It's time for an end to legislation based on fear, hatred and discrimination and a restoration of a government of, for and by the people. So as you listen to what promises to be a bitter and divisive debate in the coming weeks and watch campaigns tearing down communities instead of building a stronger, inclusive America, give yourself a good shake and wake yourself up because it's a new day. Tell your senator and representative to vote no on the FMA. Tell your elected officials, not just at the federal level but the state as well, that you will only vote for fair-minded politicians who support equality and fight discrimination of any type. Start singing a new song today and all the way through the 2006 and 2008 elections because "We Won't Be Fooled Again."

Bryson Tiller Talks His No. 1 LP 'True to Self,' Roller Coasters & Drake
Selectism11.13.2017Fashion & Beauty
When True to Self made its Billboard debut at number one back in June, no one was more surprised than Bryson Tiller himself. After a series of impressive firsts in his music career – his first mixtape Killer Instinct Vol.1, his first Billboard hit single "Done," and his debut album Trapsoul – the 24 year old R&B ace was still shocked by the immediate success of his sophomore full-length.
Despite achieving an epic, universally-accepted benchmark for any musician, the Louisville, Kentucky native is absolutely still on his grind, bringing his studio with him on the road. Catching up with Tiller in the midst of a lengthy European tour, he radiated a chill focus that most of us can barely fathom on a good day. He spoke about his love for roller coasters and breakfast cereal with equal, peaceful enthusiasm, and discussed his desire to better himself and push outside his habitual boundaries in a way that radiated realness.
From living out of his car while working at UPS to selling out concerts overseas, Bryson Tiller gave us the lowdown on his journey from Kentucky to the international music stratosphere, telling us what it was like working with DJ Khaled and Rihanna on their smash-hit "Wild Thoughts," and what the next chapter of his life is looking like so far.
Smooth, man. It's fine. It's been a dope experience. This time, I've been really taking everything in and getting out of the hotel more. I've really been enjoying it a lot.
I went to an amusement park in Copenhagen called Tivoli Gardens and another one in Amsterdam. Hopefully I'll go to another one before it's over.
Roller coaster. Have you ever done a roller coaster with VR goggles on? I just did it, it's the best thing ever. You've got to try it.
Crazy. Honestly, when they told me it was number one, I didn't even know what that meant. I was just like, "Number one. Cool, does this always happen for everybody?" I called DJ Khaled and he was like, "Congrats on your number one album," and I was like, "Dang. What?" I was like, "I know this might sound crazy, but what does that actually mean to have like a number one album on Billboard?"
He said, "Put it like this. Major Key is my ninth album. It's my first number one album." So I was like, "Dang. That's crazy."
Amazing. DJ Khaled is dope, man. He always told me he wanted to make me a part of something big, so I was excited that he found a place for me in the studio, and it became "Wild Thoughts."
The video shoot was cool, man. It was late and it was in Miami, which is my favorite place in the world. I got to vacation a little bit. Rihanna and Khaled were there. I had a trailer. I never had a trailer before that video shoot. So that was crazy. It was super dope. Everything was just smooth – people were like, "Action, cut" and all that.
It just keeps me grounded. You know what I'm saying? Iit keeps me inspired to want to make it. You know what I mean? To just do better. I love my hometown. There's nothing better than being able to just drive around and see all the places you grew up. You know what I'm saying? For me it feels really good.

Yeah, he loves Kentucky basketball. I remember when I asked him, he was going to come to Louisville to see the hometown and come back to the show. He was like, "Y'all, I might just have to wear Kentucky on stage bro." And he might get booed off because there's a rivalry between Louisville and Kentucky fans.
Me personally, I don't watch that much basketball. I think I watch a little bit more than I used to because it's super entertaining. You've got Steph Curry, LeBron – those are my people I like watching. it's inspiring for me to like look at them just like, crying and being on top.
Michael Jackson inspired me, man. He had his own video game I used to play all the time. His music was just, I don't know, you just always felt his presence, like in the atmosphere of his music, you know what I'm saying, so, like. That's why his music is timeless. I just saw an article that said something about he made like $70 million. Like, even after he passed. I thought that's crazy. That just goes to show how big his star is.
So that's the one person that really inspired me because I love video games and you know I love music too, I used to always try to impersonate Michael Jackson.
I've just been learning so much this year. I learned so much about myself, about this career, what it takes to be great. I've just been studying more. I'm supposed to be a student to the game. A lot of people that come here and just expect to at the top. And I ask myself, "Why am I not at the top or why am I not where I want to be?" And it's because you're not putting the proper work in.
It just depends on how much work you want to put in. Michael Jordan was the best basketball player in the world, at that time. He had to put the work in and get to where he is now. So that's what I've been thinking about. I've been grinding in the studio more, bringing my studio to every city we go to. Recording in hotels and stuff.
It's so hard. Don't force it, is what I say to people. If you're like, "Alright I'm going to record every single night, I don't care what." You're not going to actually want to record every night because sometimes you're tired after the show, sometimes you've got the after party. I can only work when I'm inspired, anyway.
I've just been challenging myself. In the studio, I was like, "You know what? I know I can do this and that, but let me challenge myself to try new things." Not necessarily like a new style of music, but more so push myself. Instead of simple cadences and simple flows, I'm switching it up, kind of like I used to do. Just vibing out. Just trusting myself.
Definitely Kendrick Lamar. Kendrick Lamar's album is amazing. Jay-Z's album. Future's album – his self-titled, Future. I went on tour with H.E.R. In the US and she dropped a bunch of amazing music this year.
it's not about being too high. It is, in a way, but I'm trying to say that once you smoke too much, drink too much, party too much, you get distracted from all of the important things in life.
But yeah… I have gotten too high.
Go to the dentist a lot more. Work out more. Obviously, eat better. That's my main goal because I eat something like 10 boxes of cereal a month. Probably 15. Who knows?
At the moment, it's probably Rice Krispie Treats cereal.
happy 4th birthday baby. everyday is paradise with you.

The struggle. Sleeping in my car and not having that much money. You know, riding a bike to Target to get diapers for my daughter, it sucked. It was enjoyable sometimes – at that point everything was just so simple. I was still having a good time, but that struggle right there, like made me be like, "Yo, I got to get out of here and get it."
One night I looked at my daughter and she was sleeping in her crib in her room so peacefully. And I was like, "Wow, like this person depends on me. This person needs me." She's here sleeping, and I have to, I'm here to protect her. The fact that I'm even able to give her the best possible life right now is the most rewarding thing for me. I thank God for it every day.
FaceTime with my family. Talking with my friends. I play a lot of video games. I just try to think about the positive things that are going on in my life because the more and more I start thinking about the negative, that's when I, that's when I start to feel depressed.

I just customized one of my favorite shoes in my favorite color. It's a really comfortable Air Force called the Ultra Force. You should get a pair, for real. Super comfortable, like Yeezys.
Yeezys. These Adidas. I love Reeboks now. I wear a lot of those. That's really it. Nikes. A bunch of stuff.
Next, I'm just going to lock in the studio. My daughter is starting school next year so I'm about to get her ready for school, giving her homework and stuff. Getting her ready to be in around all these different kids. You know what I'm saying?
