REACH 3.0
NPA: Dr. Sean Rourke (St. Michael's Hospital)
Atlantic Team Leads: Dr. Jacqueline Gahagan (Dalhousie University) , Dr. Lois Jackson (Dalhousie University), Dr. Deborah Kelly (Memorial University of Newfoundland ), and Michelle Proctor-Simms (Nova Scotia Advisory Commission on AIDS)
Status: Ongoing to 2024
The CIHR Centre for REACH 3.0 will further advance the national success of the CIHR
REACH 1.0/2.0 Centres and continue to enhance/strengthen an innovative, nation-wide interdisciplinary collaborative platform and network for implementation science, intervention research, and participatory evaluation focused on testing, reaching the undiagnosed, linkage and retention in care and stigma reduction
for people living with HIV, HCV and STBBIs in order to: reduce new infections (especially those at high risk); improve the health and wellbeing of people living with HIV; and demonstrate the importance of having the health/social services available and accessible where people need them in their communities.
Testing, Reaching the Undiagnosed and Linkages to Care: "REACHing" for Impact
Atlantic Team Leads: Dr. Jacqueline Gahagan (Dalhousie University) , Dr. Deborah Kelly (Memorial University of Newfoundland), and Michelle Proctor-Simms (Nova Scotia Advisory Commission on AIDS)
The major aim of this CIHR Team in "REACHing" for Impact will be to bring together national leadership network of interdisciplinary experts. This includes biomedical scientists and clinical investigators, public health practitioners, policy-makers, industry partners, and community-based organizations. Our innovative research will address major "knowledge to action" gaps in testing, reaching the undiagnosed, and linkages to care. We propose five complementary biomedical and clinical/public health implementation and evaluation research projects: 1) accuracy, usability and acceptance of INSTI and OraQuick HIV self-tests, and validation for HCV and other tests; 2) HIV self-testing strategies in clinic and community-based settings using innovative App technology; 3) dried blood spot testing with Indigenous communities and gbMSM through targeted scale-out, peer linkage to biomedical prevention, and self-testing at home; 4) community-based intervention with peers to diversify HIV testing for gbMSM and ACB; and 5) pharmacy-based STBBI testing through integration with existing infrastructure. Our team is focused on new STBBI testing being available, accessible and implemented, specifically for hard-to-reach priority populations. We will formalize linkage to care to improve biomedical and clinical prevention/public health impacts. Through this team grant, we can significantly reduce, and eventually eliminate, the burden and impact of
STBBIs on Canadians.
The REACH CBR Collaborative Centre in HIV/AIDS
Atlantic Team Leads: Dr. Susan Kirkland (Dalhousie University) and Gerard Yetman (AIDS Committee of Newfoundland & Labrador)
The REACH CBR Collaborative Centre in HIV/AIDS began in July of 2012, and received funding in 2017 for the "CBR Collaborative 2.0" for another a five-year term. The goal of the Centre is to build and promote HIV-related community based research ("CBR") in Canada. We are a national network consisting of HIV/AIDS researchers, people living with HIV, community based organizations, clinicians, and policy-makers. We are structured around seven Regional Core Teams that stretch from coast to coast. Each Core Team is led by a community leader and an academic leader, and decides on its own regional research priorities. A National CBR Leadership Committee identifies opportunities for cross-regional initiatives, encourages Core Teams to collaborate to advance shared goals, and ensures that all Core Teams receive appropriate and targeted support.
The Atlantic Coast Study
Principal Investigators: Dr. Lois Jackson (Dalhousie University) and Diane Bailey (Mainline Needle Exchange)
The Atlantic COAST (COmmunity AddictionS Treatment) Study is funded through a CIHR HIV/AIDS CBR Operating Grant (2018-21). It is being led by Lois Jackson and Cindy MacIsaac, and was formerly named "Preventing the spread of HIV: The critical role of drug addiction treatment programs." The study is aimed at looking at barriers and facilitators to addiction treatment across the Atlantic region. As outlined on the project's website , the study aims to:
Explore and understand key policies and practices of drug addiction treatment programs, focusing specifically on barriers and/or facilitators to access and retention for PWUS in Atlantic Canada;
Explore and understand safer/unsafe drug use and sexual health practices among PWUS in Atlantic Canada during the period of time when they want to access/stay in treatment but do not because of program-level policy and practice barriers;
Discuss with PWUS and other stakeholders in Atlantic Canada the findings from objectives 1 and 2 in order to develop recommendations and strategies to address barriers, build on facilitators, and target HIV prevention for PWUS.
Additional Harm Reduction Services in Two Sites in Nova Scotia
Principal Investigators: Dr. Lois Jackson (Dalhousie University), Diane Bailey (Mainline Needle Exchange), Margaret Dechman (University of Cape Breton), and Christine Porter (Ally Centre of Cape Breton)
The purpose of this one-year study is to explore what people who use substances (PWUS) and key local stakeholders think about additional harm reduction services in their communities of Halifax and Sydney. For the purpose of this study, additional harm reduction services include: no cost naloxone programs; peer-staffed community detox/withdrawal management programs; supervised consumption rooms; peer-run navigation services; and no cost needle syringe distribution and disposal programs within existing local services. For the Sydney site, it also includes a community-based, low-threshold opioid substitution program.The project is being conducted in two main phases, the first involving the administration of questionnaires for PWUS through Mainline Needle Exchange in Halifax (100 participants) and Sharp Advice Needle Exchange in Sydney (50 participants) sites. The second phase was launched in early 2018, and involved a small number of interviews with various local key stakeholders. A community report, "Increasing services, reducing harms: Results from a community-based study in Nova Scotia "was released in August 2019.
Frailty in People Aging With Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Infection
Principal Investigator: Dr. Susan Kirkland (Dalhousie University)
The increasing life spans of people infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) reflect enormous treatment successes and present new challenges related to aging. Even with suppression of viral loads and immune reconstitution, HIV-positive individuals exhibit excess vulnerability to multiple health problems that are not AIDS-defining. With the accumulation of multiple health problems, it is likely that many people aging with treated HIV infection may be identified as frail. Studies of frailty in people with HIV are currently limited but suggest that frailty might be feasible and useful as an integrative marker of multisystem vulnerability, for organizing ca`re and for comprehensively measuring the impact of illness and treatment on overall health status. This review explains how frailty has been conceptualized and measured in the general population, critically reviews emerging data on frailty in people with HIV infection, and explores how the concept of frailty might inform HIV research and care.

On Monday Bob Davie (second from left) agreed to step aside as New Mexico's head coach at the end of the season, ending an uneven eight-season tenure with the Lobos.

Season has been a challenging one for Lobos
By Jason Turner sports writer
Jason Turner
The 2019 college football season has been a very challenging one for New Mexico, which has not only dealt with a myriad of injuries but tragedy.
Earlier this month, Lobo defensive lineman Nahje Flowers — a player who had been with the program since 2016 — passed away. As a result, UNM's home game against Air Force was moved from Nov. 9 to Nov. 23. Additionally, the Lobos have had at least three different players start at nine different positions throughout the course of the season.
"I think it is significant to note that I've never in all of my years of coaching seen as many injuries (as this season)," said UNM head coach Bob Davie, who will coach his final game with the Lobos on Saturday afternoon at home against Utah State. "We're going into this game with our five top running backs out."
Indeed, the injuries kept piling up for the Lobos, who are currently mired in an eight-game losing streak after starting the season 2-1. The Lobos were hoping for a bounce-back season after going 3-9 in 2017 and 2018, but they have struggled to score in '19 and rank last nationally in pass defense.
Earlier this week, it was announced New Mexico and Davie had "mutually" agreed to part ways following Saturday's season finale against USU. Davie has gone 35-63 during his nearly eight-year tenure in Albuquerque. The former Notre Dame head coach inherited a program that went a combined 3-33 during the three seasons before he was hired. Davie helped led the Lobos to back-to-back bowl appearances in 2015 and 2016, but they haven't more than three game in a season since then.
"It has been an unbelievably unique journey and I was very proud of what we've done, and I'm not going to apologize to anyone for what we have done here," Davie said during a pretty poignant Tuesday press conference."
Davie was a college football color commentator for ESPN from 2002-11 before electing to coach again, this time at UNM.
"To get the opportunity to be a head football coach again at a Mountain West Conference level, I'm the luckiest guy in the world," Davie said at his weekly press conference. "I will always be appreciative of Paul Krebs, Bob Frank, Dr. (David) Schmidly. To give me that opportunity and to give me the support to be able to get (this program) to nine wins (in '16), I will always be appreciative of that."
Davie's squad is coming off a relatively encouraging performance against a very good Air Force team last weekend. The Lobos lost 44-22, but only trailed 17-16 late in the third quarter. UNM had a chance to pull even with an extra point, but it was blocked and returned for two points by the Falcons, who then proceeded to pull away.
New Mexico quarterback Tevaka Tuioti suffered a hamstring injury in that game and was replaced by redshirt freshman Trae Hall. Hall will likely get the starting nod against the Aggies, meaning the Lobos will join Arkansas as the only two FBS programs to have four different signal callers start a game this season.
In his first action of the season, Hall completed 5 of 7 passes for 55 yards and a pair of touchdowns, and rushed for 33 yards on four attempts against the Falcons.
"He's definitely a dual-threat quarterback," USU head coach Gary Andersen said of Hall. "He came in with a lot of poise, confidence and belief. If you watch the film — I watched the whole TV copy and the game copy — he walked in there and the stage wasn't too big for him at all. He walked in there and had a lot of confidence and did some good things with his team."
The Lobos racked up 358 yards of total offense against the Falcons, with 268 of them being accumulated on 43 rushing attempts (6.2 yards per carry). That was a noteworthy accomplishment for a team without several of its top running backs.
New Mexico finished its game against Air Force without its top four rushers this season. That group was headlined by tailback Ahmari Davis, who scored seven TDs and averaged 92.4 yards per game and 5.9 yards per carry before suffering a season-ending knee injury against Boise State on Nov. 16.
UNM's second-leading rusher against AFA was Bobby Cole, who was recently awarded a scholarship, as was fellow tailback Micah Gray, who has also taken on a much bigger role as of late. Cole gained 58 yards and scored once on 11 carries against the Falcons.
When Tuioti and Brandt Hughes (torn labrum) were the starting QBs, the Lobos threw the ball a lot more. UNM has thrown for 2,233 yards this year, which is the program's most passing yards since 2009. With the exception of Hall, who has a limited sample size, no Lobo quarterback has completed more than 52 percent of his passes this season. New Mexico's signal callers have has also tossed 13 interceptions in '19, although 11 of them took place in the first six games.
Davie and the Lobos switched to a spread offense in 2018 after running the triple option for several seasons. Davie was asked at his press conference if he has ever second-guessed that decision.
"I've thought a lot about that," he said. "It's so hard at a non-military school to run that true triple option, it just is for a lot of reasons I won't go into now. Obviously, the success we had here was really based ... on that (triple option) offense. I'm the first to recognize that, and I appreciate Bob DeBesse for that and our offense coaches. And we also had some very explosive running backs. We ran the course of it schematically being different and we ran the course of it with some of those really explosive backs. ... I don't second-guess myself for that because I think it was the right decision, and I continue to think it was the right decision."
Davie went on to say injuries at the quarterback position the past two seasons have really hampered the Lobos in their switch to a spread offense.
"We've never really had a chance to really see what it looked like," he said.
The injury bug has also bit the Lobos at the wide receiver position this year, but Hall still has some bona fide playmakers at his disposal. For starters, junior wideout Jordan Kress has scored five TDs and has averaged 20.6 yards on his 25 receptions in '19. Additionally, UNM junior tight end Marcus Williams — who like USU standout Caleb Repp is essentially a hybrid TE/WR — ranks second in the Mountain West with 408 receiving yards.
New Mexico's offensive line is pretty experienced as the Lobos welcomed back three starters in left guard Chris Estrella, right tackle Teton Saltes and center Kyle Stapley, who is from Morgan and is a Snow College transfer. The Lobos are tied for 23rd nationally for fewest sacks allowed with 15.
UNM's defense is anchored by a pair of talented middle linebackers in Alex Hart and Alexander Vainkolo, who rank first and second on the team with 75 and 65 tackles, respectively. Vainkolo is first on his squad and sixth in the Mountain West with 10.5 tackles for loss, while Hart ranks second on his team in sacks (4.0) and third in TFLs (9.0).
"I like both of those inside guys, with their motors and how hard they play, the aggressive style that they play with," Andersen said. "It reminds me of Jake Doughty when Jake was here (at USU) — a tough guy who loves to play football and is physical. Both of those guys are cut right out of that same scenario that you look at with Jake. They're good leaders, they're aggressive and they play hard every single snap."
Junior linebacker Jacobi Hearn is also having a big season for the Lobos as he paces them in sacks with 6.0, which is the third most in the MW. Hearn has also chipped in with 10.0 TFL and has forced a pair of fumbles. UNM senior defensive end Erin Austin is currently in a three-way tie for the top spot in the conference in forced fumbles with three.
Unfortunately for the Lobos, opposing teams have absolutely lit up their secondary this season. Opponents are averaging a whopping 335.0 yards an outing through the air against UNM, which has allowed 31 TD passes and has only picked off three. Only one FBS team has given up more TD passes than the Lobos.
The Lobos lost two of their best defensive players within the first two games to season-ending injuries in senior nose guard Aaron Blackwell and sophomore linebacker Dylan Horton. Blackwell was a honorable mention all-MW selection a year ago.
New Mexico has been rock solid on special teams this year. For starters, Tyson Dyer has averaged an impressive 46.1 yards on his 53 punts, and he has dropped 33 of them inside the oppositions' 20-yard line. The junior is one of 10 semifinalists for the Ray Guy Award.
Sophomore kicker Andrew Shelley has been successful on 12 of 16 field goal attempts this season, including 8 of 11 from 40-plus yards out. Shelley has split the uprights on a 52-yarder.
The Lobos have a good kickoff returner in Bryson Carroll, who has averaged 30.6 on his eight returns and has a long of 58 yards.

The kids were excited to see their cousins come for a visit today. They played some ball, visited the animals and played pig rodeo–a delightfully funny game to watch. Until next time….
The trouble with Spring is that it gives you the feeling you can do anything. So when an opportunity comes along to expand, you usually jump at it. We want to add sheep to our farm, but we aren't ready to add a flock. Our compromise is to try a few males we will have only for a season. We started with three yesterday. Allie is thrilled out of her socks.


Many individuals view cooking as a peaceful and fulfilling activity. A kitchen full of yummy aromas and fresh ingredients can lift anyone's mood. Finding unique recipes and suggestions for dishes can make cooking even more enjoyable. Read this article to find out more about cooking a great meal.
Many people find slicing meat into thin strips very difficult; however, if you partially freeze the meat, the task is much simpler. This is especially helpful if you are preparing an Oriental dish. With meat that is somewhat frozen, the fibers tend not to stretch or tear as much when they are sliced, making for much cleaner cuts. After slicing the meat, allow it to completely thaw to ensure that it cooks evenly.
Longer cooking times and techniques, like boiling, destroys healthful nutrients in veggies. Keep them healthy by choosing fast methods of cooking such as steaming or sauteing, or better yet, learn to love them raw.
If you are cooking for someone you want to impress, cook something you already know how to make. Don't attempt a dish that is new or very far out of your experience level. Cooking will be less stressful this way.
When you are cooking, use fresh ingredients instead of frozen or dried ones for the best results. Use fresh foods any time you can, as they bring out the best flavor of the dish, and can be real money-savers too.
If you find yourself with leftover homemade sauce, freeze the leftovers in ice cube trays. When you feel the need to create another meal, you will have them handy to heat up. Not to worry, it freezes well and is perfectly edible when stored this way.
Always get the freshest garlic available when you have a recipe that calls for it. Usually, fresh garlic has a sweeter taste. Fresh garlic is very firm to the touch and has an intact, taut skin. The individual cloves are also plump and firm, not shriveled and shrunken.
When serving salad to guests, leave the dressing on the side. Certain people prefer a larger amount of dressing on the salad than others. Because of this fact, you should allow people to pour dressing on their own. Give them a choice of salad dressings.
If you are cooking a roast and are short on time, make sure to leave the bone in. You will see that the meat will cook in a shorter amount of time because the bone will help carry the heat directly inside of the roaster. Before serving the roast, simply cut the meat from the bone.
When you purchase fruits that are not quite ripe, put them in a paper bag to ripen. When fruits go through the ripening process, they release ethylene gas. When they are placed in a perforated bag, the air can circulate, which ensures the ethylene gas is absorbed, so the fruit retains its great taste.
Make certain all your utensils are cleaned prior to cooking. If food is left behind on the utensils after washing, this may spoil what you are planning to cook. Another concern is the potential cost to your health, as you could possibly be exposed to bacteria.
For more flavorful dishes, make your own stock. Make a large amount and store it in the freezer. If you do this, you will never be short of stock for soups, stews, and other such dishes. If you make your own stock, it will be much healthier and not loaded with preservatives.
Dry off extra moisture on ground meat before cooking. You should always blot up extra moisture before cooking ground meat. If you leave it there, the meat will not cook properly. The moisture will start to sizzle and steam away when it hits the heat of the pan. This can cause the meat to become steamed instead of seared as it should be.
When you are cooking, don't be afraid to be creative. It is not always about following a recipe letter for letter. You can add a little something, or replace an ingredient you don't like. It may end up tasting better than the original! Now that is a real cook!
Before chopping fresh herbs sprinkle some salt on the cutting board. This adds some extra flavor to the herbs while also keeping them on the board. Make sure to avoid over-salting by not adding additional salt directly to what you are preparing. The salt will stick to the herbs, adding some extra flavor to your dish.

I won't comment too much on the first two because, really, everyone has their own ways of marketing. Some wines are small lots and certainly pricing is something every winery has to determine, but I have never understood the third part of the plan.
The customer, in case we are forgetting something, is the one on the side of the counter holding the cash or credit card. The seller is the one on the side of the counter handing over the wine.
Wine can be a luxury item and yes there is scarcity built into it because, let's face it, you can only squeeze a finite amount of juice from a grape, but remembering who is on which side of the counter is always the best marketing plan.

Since its inception in 2000, French Fdb Recordings has given us regular rendezvous with the very best of Electro, and each one is always a surprising event we don't want to miss.
Following Model Citizens 2014's classic "The Loud Minority EP", Vstee's imprint, in association with Parisian Toolbox Records shop, returns with another collectible EP of its trademark. The already essential "The Bass Academy Vol.1″, which has to be seen as Professor Xavier's school, introduces a hopefully long series of masterpieces for the posterity featuring forgotten and heavyweight Electro teachers.
The inaugural 12" sees on A-Side the remarkable come back of too rare Dark Vektor (Subsonic Device, Titan's Halo Recordings). Author of the memorable "Basscelona – City Of Bass EP" six years ago on Fdb Recordings, the Hispanic veteran offers today a milestone of an Electro Funk piece! Engaging hostilities on a powerful rhythm, devastating "Univers De Desitg" song quickly deploys a lethal arsenal made of old school beats, low frequencies, and dirty vocoder lyrics in Spanish. Astonishing 808 drums plus infectious melodies will achieve to put you in a circle. Simple, efficient. In a word…ace!
The flipside celebrates the unexpected yet incredible return of Swedish trio The Blotnik Brothers. Mainly two successful EP's, and one highly acclaimed full length player on New York based Satamile Records propelled them under the spotlights in the mid 00's but since then, we had lost their transmissions. Now they're back stronger than never and when it comes to rocking a crowd, The Blotnik Brothers always come on point!
Kicking off with a solid groove and strong beats, mind-blowing "I See You" signs an ode to the dancefloor, and will remind in a way one of their previous and most successful classics "Electro Manifesto (Beats On Demand)" from 2004. After all those years, Martin Rasberg, Roberto Mensa and Patrick Casey didn't loose hand behind machines and demonstrate we can still count on their talent and creativity.
No need to say it, "The Bass Academy Vol.1 ", cut by Simon @ The Exchange in London, is a must have for every fan of pure Electro with roots from the past and spirit focused onto the future! Limited to 150 copies coming with a hand made printed sleeve. Watch out for Vol.2 coming out sometime this year with two big Electro signatures. They remain secret for now but I can already tell you you won't believe it.

Latest Inflation Figures Show Positive Impact of Pacific Blue for Kiwi Domestic Travellers
Latest inflation figures showing a significant fall in the price of New Zealand domestic air travel have been welcomed by the country's newest domestic airline, Pacific Blue.
Consumer Price Index figures released yesterday show the price of domestic air travel fell in the last three months of 2007.
"Prices for domestic air transport made a downward contribution for the transport group, falling 4.6 percent this quarter," Statistics NZ said in a release.
Pacific Blue launched its new domestic routes between Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch on 12 November last year offering lead-in fares up to 30% cheaper than previously available.
Pacific Blue's General Manager Commercial, Adrian Hamilton-Manns, said the latest CPI figures underline the airline's aim of making domestic travel more affordable for New Zealanders.
"When we entered the domestic market we said that Kiwis had been paying too much for too long for domestic travel and that there was definitely room for new competition.
"Given the latest CPI figures, we're delighted to see the positive impact that our entry has had on the market."
Mr Hamilton-Manns said Pacific Blue was committed to low fares and was very happy with the support it was receiving from the travelling public.
"Kiwis are supporting us because we've made travel more affordable and provide a high-quality, fun service. We look forward to their ongoing support so that we can continue to keep the air fair on the current routes and expand our service into other regional centres."
Pacific Blue said latest domestic passenger numbers from Wellington Airport were also positive and showed that the airline's new local services were supporting overall growth in domestic travel and tourism.
The airport said this week that domestic passenger numbers for December 2007 had risen by more than 16%. Majority owner Infratil noted that the increase had not cannibalised the market from existing airlines.
"One of our goals in launching a domestic service was to get more New Zealanders flying more often and the figures from Wellington Airport are an example of how real competition can stimulate a market," Mr Hamilton-Manns said.
Pacific Blue operates a young, fuel-efficient fleet of 737-800 Next Generation aircraft and offers over 240 flights a week within New Zealand and to Australia, Samoa, Fiji, Vanuatu, Tonga and the Cook Islands.

Gaming Pet Peeves: Mechanics that inexplicably change in the sequel

Wall? What wall?
Screenshot: Dark Souls Remastered
You just picked up the latest installment in your favorite video game series of choice. It never really changes from time immemorial and then, the unthinkable. It has changed.
Who dared? (Obviously, the developers, who thought it was a good change of pace but the question will be in the back of your mind)
Here, I'm not talking about a major mechanics change. While I did not like the stance system in Yakuza 0 early on, vastly preferring the unique stance per character of the earlier titles, it was a nice way to integrate different playstyles in games where multiple protagonists would not be a thing, or at least where they wanted to not have 4 protgonists.
No, I'm talking about very little changes that, somehow, becomes incredibly irritating. Such as the title picture, which was the change to hidden doors in Dark Souls 2.
This is not the result of a punch, obviously.
Screenshot: Dark Souls 2 : Scholar of the First Sin
To give context - In Dark Souls 1, to reveal hidden pathways, you would need to strike the area where you suspected was a hidden path. In Dark Souls 2, however, you need to examine the area where you suspect there is a hidden path (there are other ways, as the Pharos' Lockstones barred paths will need to be struck as opposed to interacted with). As is tradition in Dark Souls, no one informs you of this change. It changes absolutely nothing in the gameplay of the title, it's merely an irritating change because someone at From decided that new land, new way to unlock hidden paths.
Another Dark Souls example. Jumping, which was detailed in the manual (really, who reads those in 2018. Rather, who includes those in 2018!?) as being a tap of the run button while running. Simple, right? They changed it in Dark Souls 2 - It's now R3. You can change it back, but you'll probably be doing that after you died once to such a death.
(You might think I'm a bit too harsh on Dark Souls - You would be right as I've been playing the series one after the other so its example stick out in my mind a lot.)
However, nothing irritated me more as a youngster than playing Street Fighter Alpha 2 going to Alpha 3 and trying to throw. For those of you who don't know, in Alpha 2 you can throw the opponent using, in close range, the forward/backward + Medium/Heavy Punch or Kick, usually changing the animation depending on whether punch or kick was pressed. In Alpha 3, however, they changed this to forward and 2 Punches or backward and 2 Kicks. This was a huge change, and me without an arcade, playing my buddies on the Playstation, that threw me off massively.
And yet, that's such a small thing in the grand order of changes from Alpha 2 to Alpha 3 that, today, it's nothing. I was irrationally angry about it back then though.
Interestingly enough, Falcom's Trails in the Sky avoids this throughout the three games, with the minor changes being explained with actual game lore, which somehow does not trigger irrational anger as much. Perhaps it's because they told us prior? Most likely.
What about you? Anything in a game series that they changed, no matter how minor, that just pissed you off?

The Dose: Pimp, pimp, hooray! New Kendrick Lamar project rocks
by Reporter
Preston Mitchell | Staff Writer
@presto_mitch
If last year in music belonged to anyone, it was Kendrick Lamar. His masterful album, "To Pimp A Butterfly," summated his sociopolitical views into a single, relatable narrative. Thanks to positive reception, the Grammy winner is now a modern rap legend.
Kendrick is back with a compilation of "Butterfly" demo tracks titled "Untitled Unmastered." Fortunately for junkies that can't get enough Kendrick, this mixtape delivers the goods.
The beginning, "Untitled 01," is Lamar tying societal issues into what the book of Revelation prophesizes. Next is "Untitled 02," a jazzy track that opens with "Pimp, pimp, hooray!" and details Lamar's anxieties about fame as the people he grew up with suffer in Compton. The way Lamar goes from rapping and singing (simultaneously) to reciting a perfectly synced jazz verse is pretty brilliant.
While the live version was stronger, "Untitled 03" is still powerful. Here, he divides his journey into four different cultures: the meditative Asian, the Native American representing his land, the African-American procreation and the white man's entrepreneurship. It's an introspective highlight of Lamar's daily struggles between peace and the materialism.
Subsequently, "Untitled 04" is an interlude where Lamar sings the refrain: "Head is the answer." This, along with "Untitled 05," advises that knowledge is the key to avoiding a minimum wage lifestyle.
A pleasant breath of fresh air is "Untitled 06." The track sees Kendrick and CeeLo Green encouraging a beautiful woman to embrace her insecurities, and doing so with the swagger that only a rapper has.
Nonetheless, the standout is "Untitled 07," which flawlessly merges three musical styles. Once again commencing with a "pimp, pimp, hooray," Lamar brags about being the best rapper over trap instrumentation. After a choral breakdown, the composition goes full West Coast, where Kendrick cheekily raps: "I could never end a career if it never start."
Oddly enough, the song concludes with an "Untitled 04" outtake, where "head is the answer" again. Contextually, it works because Lamar has gone from arrogant to reaffirming his morals all at once.
The mixtape's only flaw is that it could've ended altogether here. Instead, "Untitled 08," while good, pales in comparison.
All in all, "Untitled Unmastered" is a nice array of B-sides for those of us that continue to jam "To Pimp A Butterfly." If you're a fan of Lamar or simply everything held sacrosanct in the rap pantheon, give it a listen.

Brilliant Louvre exhibition celebrates Leonardo da Vinci
Washington PostMore from Washington Post
Updated: October 21, 2019 11:26 AM EDT
The painting "The Last Supper" by Leonardo da Vinci is pictured during a press visit of the "Leonardo da Vinci" exhibition to commemorate the 500-year anniversary of his death at the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, October 20, 2019. REUTERS/Benoit Tessier
PARIS – Expectations have been high for the Leonardo da Vinci exhibition that is being mounted at the Louvre to mark the 500th anniversary of the artist's death. For months, there has been speculation, about which works would travel to the Louvre, about the geopolitical backstory to each potential loan, and about a problematic but fascinating painting known as the "Salvator Mundi," which sold at auction for more than US$450 million in 2017.
The Louvre gave a first look at the show last Friday. Now we have answers.
"Salvator Mundi," which is rumoured to be owned by Mohammed bin Salman, the Saudi prince who the CIA believes ordered the death of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi, is not in the show. The exquisite "Benois Madonna," which travels from its home at the Hermitage in St. Petersburg exceedingly rarely, is. The unfinished "Saint Jerome," seen recently in New York, has been lent by the Vatican, and a soulful portrait of a young musician, from Milan, has also made the trip.
In 2012, the National Gallery in London mounted a show focused on Leonardo's years as a court artist in Milan, and the highlight of that exhibition was the juxtaposition of its "Virgin of the Rocks" (which may have been made in collaboration with Leonardo's assistants) with a version from the Louvre. But the London painting has not traveled to Paris, lending force to then National Gallery Director Nicholas Penny's prediction that it was a once-in-a-lifeime pairing "unlikely ever to be repeated."

So Leonardo completists who come to Paris with a checklist may be disappointed. But take one step past the fame of the Mona Lisa (which is on view at the Louvre in another gallery) and a wholly different and more interesting Leonardo emerges. That Leonardo is well represented in all his brilliance and richness.
Many of the artist's most important drawings and sketches are in the show, including the large format and emotionally incandescent Burlington House cartoon (depicting the Virgin, Saint Anne, and the infant Christ and John the Baptist), the rigorous perspective drawing for the unfinished "Adoration of the Magi" and the stunning painted drapery sketches made in the earliest years of his career. The most famous drawing of them all, the Vitruvian Man (a naked male figure inscribed in a circle and a square), wasn't yet on the wall after a last-minute legal battle over its departure from Italy. But the unattached label was leaning against the blank panel on which it will be hung.

Only one major episode of Leonardo's life isn't covered in depth: The story of the enormous bronze equestrian statue made for his patron Ludovico Sforza, the clay model of which was supposedly blown apart by French soldiers after they stormed Milan in 1499. But the rest of his life is fully present. Visitors are greeted by the great masterpiece of his teacher, Andrea del Verrocchio's monumental bronze "Christ and Saint Thomas" (as overwhelming as anything else in the show), and are sent home with the memory of a work by one of his most talented and devoted pupils, Francesco Melzi's iconic portrait of an elderly, bearded and benignly careworn Leonardo, made in the last years of the master's life.
In between, works by contemporaries complicate superficial ideas about his meteoric genius, and small, delicate drawings teem with an abundance of ideas – paintings never made, thoughts adumbrated then abandoned. Under low light, these faded, wispy clippings from the cutting-room floor suggest a superfluity of ideas that might have supplied a lifetime of inspiration to other artists. All aspects of his life as an artist, scholar, scientist, engineer, military adviser and archaeologist are documented in drawings.
There are, on this planet, only about 15 extant paintings confidently attributed to Leonardo da Vinci, and if you were to mark their locations with pins on a map, you would have a reliable record of several of the Western world's lost or fading empires.
The "Benois Madonna," from St. Petersburg, was bought by Czar Nicholas II for what was then a record price in 1914, only four years before he and his family were gunned down in a basement room far from their former palaces. There is an early portrait of Ginevra de' Benci, in Washington, which was for a long time the only Leonardo painting outside Europe when the National Gallery of Art acquired it in 1967 at the height of the space race (it never travels and isn't in the Paris show). And the United Kingdom has "The Virgin of the Rocks," which it acquired in the 18th century.
The painting "Benois Madonna" by Leonardo da Vinci is pictured during a press visit of the "Leonardo da Vinci" exhibition to commemorate the 500-year anniversary of his death at the Louvre Museum in Paris, October 20, 2019. REUTERS/Benoit Tessier
In his lifetime, Leonardo was a cultural export, from Florence under the Medicis to the upstart court of Milan, and a cultural import, from Milan to France. His paintings used to be tools of cultural diplomacy. The Mona Lisa visited the United States in 1963, when France briefly admired America under its young president, John Kennedy.
But Leonardos are likely to travel less in the future, as museums depend on them to validate the touristic-spiritual yearnings of their millions of visitors, and as nations hold them more closely, ossified symbols of national prestige in an age of resurgent nationalism.
So a Leonardo exhibition without the major paintings is simply a sign of the times. But every exhibition devoted to Leonardo must grapple with the basic question: Why did a man who lived into his late 60s – a man who was ceaselessly inventive, who left thousands of pages of meticulous drawings and notes, whose personal beauty, intelligence and discourse charmed everyone with what we would now call star power and celebrity – leave behind so few finished works? Was he undisciplined and distracted, or thwarted by his own perfectionism? Did his ambition entice him to draft the basic lines of paintings he could never realize in paint? Did he intentionally withhold his genius from a public he considered unworthy?
Beginning in the 19th century, the most common answer has had to do with his pursuit of science. His interest in painting was only an extension of his deeper interest in the material world. He thought through the visual world by analogy, looking for affinities between the way hair curled and water eddied, between human anatomy and the life of trees and animals, and the structure of the Earth and heavens. But as he became increasingly preoccupied with scientific questions, he got lost in the process of looking into the world.

There were a lot of moisture and natural moisture, but this time there are few lights and there is a bright glass face. The important thing is that you want: a) Only you wake up, b) You seem to be making make-up rather than make-up!

#Martech 5000 firms on the #Inc5000 delivered on average 822% growth vs. 531%
This article was co-written by Anand Thaker & Scott Brinker, c0-collaborators on the marketing technology landscape.
Inc. Magazine's annual list of the 5,000 fastest growing companies in the U.S., the Inc. 5000, was just released for 2018. Out of those 5,000, 2.64% of them are martech companies that appeared on this year's marketing technology landscape, e.g., the Martech 5000.
Now, 2.64% might not seem like a very large percentage, but when you consider that's out of every other possible kind of private business in America — construction, education, energy, health, IT services, manufacturing, retail, travel, etc. — it's a visible dent in our commercial landscape.
The Inc. 5000 is ranked by year-over-year growth of the companies who participate. Only private companies, not public ones, can participate, and they have to disclose their revenue.
You can see the ones at the top of the list have an insane growth rate of more than 100X from 2017 to 2018. Now, that's easier when your revenue is relatively small, but still — many of these businesses have tens of millions of dollars in revenue. Such growth at that scale is pretty spectacular.
23 martech companies were in the top 500, with a minimum growth rate of 1,000% year-over-year. Podium, PowerInbox, SOCI, ConvertKit, ClickFunnels, Broadly, LiftOff, Aha, SellerLabs, Choozle, Coschedule, Apptimize, HYPR, StrikeSocial, G2 Crowd, Braze, Bluecore, Radius Networks, Lob, Springbot, Upfluence, TripleLift, and NinjaCat. (Congratulations!)
Anand pulled together a spreadsheet of all the Inc. 5000 martech companies, which you can download here:
There are several noteworthy data points in the analysis of this spreadsheet:
The average growth rate of these martech companies is 822%, which is incredible (compared to the remarkable average 531% growth rate of the rest of the list).
The average age of these martech companies is 9 years, i.e., founded around 2009. Martech is maturing, but it's still growing.
These martech companies span many categories on the marketing technology landscape: marketing automation, mobile marketing, social media marketing, content marketing, optimization, ecommerce, native advertising, etc.
The geographic location of these martech companies is spread across the U.S. Sure, there's a cluster of 24 in New York City and 13 in San Francisco, but Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Washington, D.C., Denver, and Seattle all have multiple winners. Two of the top ones — ConvertKit and ClickFunnels — are based in Idaho!
Keep in mind, these are only the martech companies that were eligible (private businesses in the U.S.), who chose to participate, and had a growth rate of at least 57% to make it into the top 5000. The fact that there were 132 of them is pretty impressive.
That's just about the size of the original 2011 marketing technology landscape.
It's also interesting to note that the industry category of Advertising & Marketing on the Inc. 5000 has 479 companies. Most of these are not martech firms, but rather agencies and other kinds of marketing services businesses. They account for nearly 10% of the list, which is a testament to the growth and reinvention of the marketing industry overall.
So much opportunity. Congratulations to all the martech winners on the Inc. 5000!

"Miracle Of Russia" Throws American And European Elites Into Total Panic
March 22, 2017 Sorcha Faal Sorcha Faal
By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers
A very interesting Ministry of Finance (MoF) report circulating in the Kremlin today is warning the Security Council (SC) to expect "swift retribution" from the West after the latest "Miracle of Russia" accomplishment of paying off the entire debt owed by the former Soviet Union is due to occur within 45 days—and that has thrown the entire elite structure of both the American's and Western Europeans into "total panic" should their citizens discover what the Federations nationalistic monetary polices have been able to achieve. [Note: Some words and/or phrases appearing in quotes in this report are English language approximations of Russian words/phrases having no exact counterpart.]
According to this report, "Miracle of Russia" is a term used to describe the Christian-based nationalistic monetary policies enacted in the Federation after the cruel yoke of "anti-Christ and demonic globalization" was thrown off the Russian people following the catastrophic collapse of the economy in 2008-2009—and that many in the West predicted would lead to the complete destruction of the Russian economy.
As "Western laws now clash with the moral nature of man", this report continues, President Putin in his actions to exterminate the heresy of the new globalization religion from the Federation struck out against the West and declared that "policies are being pursued that place on the same level a multi-child family and a same-sex partnership, a faith in God and a belief in Satan…this is the path to degradation"—while at nearly the same time, President Barack Obama declared about America: "We are no longer a Christian nation".
So successful, in fact, has President Putin used Christian morality to create the "Miracle of Russia", this report notes, that it is now being said in America that the Federation is now the sum of all their liberal leftist elitists worst fears: "the Christian Coalition with nukes".
To how astonishingly the "Miracle of Russia" has revived the economy of the Federation and brought it back from the ruins of globalization, this report explains, is evidenced in Russia now having a national debt of only $150.5 billion that equates to a mere $1,029 per citizen—as compared to the United States whose staggering debt is $20 TRILLION, equating to a shocking $879,989 per citizen, and the European Union's debt of $13.5 TRILLION, and that equates to an equally shocking $26,519 per citizen.
With the EU facing a population disaster due to its plummeting birth rate, and the United States declaring also this past year that its falling birth rate is now a national emergency, this report notes, the "Miracle of Russia" has triumphantly led the Federation to have the highest birth rate in all of Europe—and whose future productive and moral citizens will be able to benefit from the Federations $75.7 TRILLION in natural resource wealth that is the greatest in all the world.
With both the US and EU fearing their citizens learning about the "Miracle of Russia", and the Christian morality underlying it to make it possible, MoF experts in this report state, they launched what is called "the most blatant coup in history" against Ukraine to install in power a neo-Nazi government with their knowing the Federation would have no choice but to respond against as the last time Russia faced a Nazi regime (World War II) over 26.6 million of its citizens were killed.
Rather than taking over all of Ukraine, however, this report continues, Federation military forces in the face of this "blatant coup" minimized their actions to only protect Russian peoples under direct threat of extermination from the newly installed neo-Nazi regime—but to which, in November, 2014, the West retaliated against by placing sanctions on Russia.
By employing the "Miracle of Russia" economic policies in the face of these Western sanctions, though, this report details, the Federation was able to allot $76 billion to its domestic food supply, and through other such measures has further enhanced its long term economic security—so much so, in fact, that even America's top credit rating agency Standard & Poor's was grudgingly forced, on 17 March, to revise its outlook on Russia to positive from stable and affirmed the Federation's sovereign credit ratings and, likewise, today, revise their outlook on 13 Russian companies to positive.
With the "Miracle of Russia" being an unstoppable success at destroying the myths of globalization in favor of Christian moralistic backed nationalistic economy measures, this report continues, the elite forces in the West have responded by launching the most vitriolic campaigns of "Russian hysteria" the modern world has ever seen—and that includes the UK tabloid The Mirror creating a "fake news" story this week about the traditional Russian festival of "Maslenitsa" (celebrated during the last week before Lent) and warning that their citizens are about to be killed.
Fake Russian Hysteria News

Even worse, this report notes, are the now daily news stories appearing throughout the US and EU warning of the grave dangers posed by Kremlin-connected "oligarchs"—which is term used to describe Russia's 97 billionaires—while at the same time they're failing to inform their own citizens of the over 992 "oligarch" billionaires in their own nations—which one would logically think the citizens of the West have a right know about as the European Union has already been declared an "oligarchy"(government by the few) and the United States too, when in 2014, a study by Princeton University Prof Martin Gilens and Northwestern University Prof Benjamin gravely declared that America was no longer a democracy, but an "oligarchy" benefiting only the elites.
Of the very few peoples in the West acknowledging the "Miracle of Russia" and how it has destroyed the evils of the new globalization religion, this report explains, is the American President Donald Trump who, like President Putin before him, knows the true value of a nation returning to its moral Christian roots to achieve economic security—but whose elite "Deep State" leftist liberal Democratic Party enemies have now joined with their Republican Party Neo-Con former foes to destroy him—and who some experts suggest need "some anti-psychotic medication" before their heads explode.
And so absolutely insane have these globalist elite enemies against the "Miracle of Russia", and now President Trump, in the US and EU become, this report says, Russian gas is now being shipped through Ukraine to Slovakia and, after traveling a few hundred meters, reversed from there back into Ukraine with the higher price for this "Slovakian gas" being funded by loans from Western banks guaranteed by the World Bank in order so they can say that the Federation isn't making as much money as it used to.
In the face of such madness from these Western elites desperately trying to keep the "Miracle of Russia" from being known to their citizens, and their fearing that President Trump is going to implement similar Christian-based economic polices for the United States, this report continues, they have now begun to attack America's new leader by falsely claiming that he's working for Russia—and that in reply to this weeks US Congress hearing on this issue, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov could only state: "The hearing participants are apparently confused about the situation. They are trying to find confirmation of their own assumptions somewhere but are failing to do that, to find any proof … and just go around every time."
And while President Trump's "Deep State" enemies keep going around in circles trying to find proof of something that doesn't exist, this report says, their leftist "fake news" propaganda mainstream media allies continue to keep from the American people that Trump's stating that former President Obama "wiretapped" him is 100% true—as all phone calls in the United States are recorded and stored—and that the whole world has known about since 2013 when Edward Snowden's top secret US files were made public.
Known as "Project Dragnet", this report explains, the NSA has, in fact, built a massive $1.7 billion computer storage facility in Utah to hold the phone calls and emails of all Americans, and whose recently released secret documents prove Trump and his family were under constant surveillance by the Obama regime—and that one of Trump's most insane critics, the actor Shia LaBeouf, inadvertently revealed the existence of during a live television broadcast, in 2008, when he told how the FBI was able to pull up the phone calls of anyone they wanted and listen to them.
As to if President Trump will be able to duplicate the "Miracle of Russia" to restore the United States to its former greatness, like President Putin has done for Russia, this report concludes, is presently not known—but if these demonic globalist religious fanatics are to be defeated once and for all, it can only be done by "Making America Great Again"—and then the rest of the world will follow.

Clinton Campaign: "Russia Rigging US Election by Exposing How We Rigged Election"
July 29, 2016 Independent Press Hillary Clinton, JAG
Russia is manipulating the 2016 U.S. presidential election by leaking hacked emails from the Democratic National Committee's (DNC) servers — emails that show the DNC rigged and manipulated the Democratic primary in favor of Hillary Clinton.
Call it an exercise in hypocrisy, or call it a deflection to detract from the fact that America's political process is corrupt beyond belief. Either way, this is the narrative prevailing in the media as the Democratic Party, led by Clinton surrogates, attempts to downplay its own internal corruption by pinning the blame on Russia in what can be described as a "neo-Red Scare."

About Banco Interfinanzas S.A.
A private bank headquartered in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Banco Interfinanzas, a leader in banking services, needed a new solution to monitor and manage its IT infrastructure remotely. The IT team had been using Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops (formerly XenDesktop). However, they faced security and configuration issues.
These inconveniences began to add up with errors in basic tasks, such as copying and pasting from one platform to another and problems with remote printing. These frustrations prompted the IT team to return to the market and look for an alternative solution.
