The Cortina aesthetic line, developed in conjunction with Master Blacksmith Giancarlo Candeago, is the upshot of a savvy selection of materials and attention to detail. Inspired by a long artisan tradition of blacksmiths who worked iron with great skill high up in the Italian mountains, the Cortina line (including ovens, hobs and hoods) recalls the elegance and appeal of wrought iron objects in truly unique appliances. The careful choice of materials and polished detail and finishes come together to give off a sumptuous and luxurious effect. Moreover, the extensive use of colour enlivens products whose style still remains timeless.
The true value of artisan expertise shines through in our ovens and can be seen in the glass door panel detail (a feature of the hoods as well) and the beautiful double inlay. Smeg has also developed gas hobs in addition to the ovens and hoods to round off an aesthetic line that will become the centre of attention in your kitchen.

As a long time designer I love helping business owners to create memorable and effective custom logos. It is one of the most rewarding aspects of my work to be a part of someone's origin story. This makes me wonder, who was the graphic designer that designed Batman's logo? I wonder if the Justice league has an in house designer. But, I digress. I would like to share some tools and ideas with you here, so that you can create a professional logo with true staying power.
Batman is a great example of logo evolution.
What Makes and Effective Logo?
An effective logo doesn't have to be complicated. In fact it should be fairly easy to describe to others. The best logos out there invoke personal associations that align with your customer base and purpose through simple means.
According to a study of the most popular logos in the US and UK (by Siegel+Gale), it is Nike, Apple, Coca-Cola and McDonald's who have the most memorable logos in the western world. Why is that? It is in part because the images are simple, memorable, clear, and eye-catching.
Of course these folks have been around for quite some time and have huge marketing teams. But, they did have more humble beginnings, and if you look at their original logos, you will see that the imagery has evolved along with the company. Which brings me to my next point, how do you begin?
If you are not sure where to start, I advise that you spend some time thinking about what what you want your logo to do for your business.
What is the purpose of this logo?
What do you want it to communicate about the business?
Who is the target audience / customer?
Will this logo look just as good in black and white as it does in color?
Will it still be recognizable when it is printed very small?
Does this logo represent the whole company and not just a part of it?
Is it versatile enough to evolve / adapt as the company grows?
Does this logo project the core mission statement and values of the business?
This is not intended as an exhaustive list, but a good starting point for you. These are some important questions to ask as you work through different concepts and draft revisions with your designer, your client, or yourself. You will soon arrive at a design that fulfills most (if not all) of these criteria. This is a logo you can be proud of!
Once established, don't be afraid to share it with the world. Associate your unique mark with all that you do. If you want to generate word of mouth about your business, it is necessary that people recognize your work. Logo recognition allows your happy customers to more easily share with others about their positive experience and it will make it easier for them to identify you again in the future.

Robinson greets me days ahead of his team leaving for an inter-service championship in Anniston, Ala. Earning that trip were seniors Lucas Stalnaker and Trey Sheppard, junior Sean Moughan and freshman Brian Hampton.
All four finished top 50 in the country among 1,200 shooters from 300 teams at the Marine Corps National Championship in February. Jordan Lozinski finished 67th.
Robinson warns if I outshoot any of them, he'll take me and leave them home. Six practice shots and four of a possible 60 points in, they aren't worried.
I sight up for what's an inebriating view. The target stretches seven-eighths of an inch from bull's-eye to outer edge, nearly half of it invisible from 10 meters. The slightest nudge and you're pelletting unmarked paper.
My first practice shot misses by more than 3 inches.
Evidently I'm the only guy in town who hasn't mastered this sport. Like brothers who love one another more than either will admit, Fort Mill and Nation Ford spent the past six months – and as many states – one-upping each other. The Fort Mill Yellow Jackets entered last month's Corp championship in Anniston as second best in their own town, three points shy of the Nation Ford Falcons in qualifying. The Jackets left as best in their half of the country, third nationally.
They're even carpooling together. Nation Ford shooter Hayden Briggs finished 20th at the Corp event, qualifying for the inter-service and hitching a ride with Fort Mill. Along with Hampton (5th) and Sheppard (11th), this town boasts three of the top 20 Marine JROTC snipers in the country.
I graduated with a girl who won Fort Mill a state championship in air rifling, then joined the Ole Miss women's squad where she helped set team records and appeared on multiple all-academic lists. Academic and shooting scholarships paid her way there.
Someone who'd never shot a gun before the high school program worked out alongside future NFL stars Eli Manning and Patrick Willis, among other Rebel athletes. She traveled the country and taught youth programs. She twice competed at the junior Olympic level.
But the Mississippi mother of two understands why the sport that afforded her so much doesn't get mainstream attention.
Shooting seems such a power game. Locking on target is more like Tibetan sandpainting or pumping a dollar worth of gas. It's delicate, ginger. A little mistake goes a long way.
They tell me to anchor my elbow into my hipbone. I couldn't find my hipbone with a three-man search party. And besides, when's the last time John Wayne anchored his gun into anything?
I'm expecting overblown, raspy monologues before each round. Maybe a white cowboy hat to improve my aim. I quickly learn we're not filming movies here. These four cut up like any four high schoolers will, but not when it comes to firearms.
My first shot nearly nips the outer ring. Shots two and three aren't that close. My fourth puts a hole through the disclaimer on the corner of the page. Five shots in and I'm pointless. Sheppard has 44 with three bull's-eyes, Stalnaker has 42 and Hampton, 36. No telling how many Moughan has. He's busy swapping out his score sheet with one he peppered earlier. One with seven perfect shots and three that couldn't have missed by less, for a staggering 97 out of 100 points.
He's hard-pressed to confess how he shot it, in the much more stable prone, or lying down, position. For all the severity and safety, these guys aren't beyond chicanery.
I'd need a degree in air rifle mechanics before their inside jokes stop sounding like something gargled out of a foreign language translator. I do get that Stalnaker takes his fair share of ribbing. Evidently teammates hear plenty about his pending enrollment at the U.S. Naval Academy, hanging it like a hashtag after most everything he says. It's a wonder Hampton isn't getting more grief from the upperclassmen. Being in the top half dozen nationally must have its perks.
Finally I puncture the dark paper. Then once more before air-pelletting the last two. A dozen points on three shots, compared to 23 per man on the same targets. We retrieve the wreckage. My best shot, a six-pointer, would've been 29th best. They shot 30 pellets.
Their scores of 80 or better mean each put 10 metal projectiles, on average, through a hole three-eighths of an inch wide. I've eaten bigger raisins. I won't be going to Alabama. I won't even make the big screen. I'm a marksman in name only. Then again, I've never looked good in white hats, anyway.
Score: Team members tallied scores of 83,83 and 80 compared to 12 for Marks. Final score: Fort Mill 82, Marks 12.

The summer drags on
by ronfiction » Mon Aug 07, 2017 3:07 am
Lou rolled up the sleeves of his red flannel shirt and smirked to himself when he wiped some sweat off of his brow with a balled up bandanna. Walking alone in the woods around these parts was an unthinkable risk at night, but during the day it was far less risky. Lou had originally gone out to hunt, thinning out the last of the infected animals left over from the fall was important work and a great way to blow off steam. As they got further and further away from the spring however, there were now far less infected animals, most of which having died off or been hunted down. Lou could now go days on end without seeing any, and the woods were getting back to their normal self.
Lou's hunting treks had become more like nature walks at this point in the summer and for the most part, he was ok with that. Lou's owned a gun for most of his life, getting his first 22' rifle when he was only 10 years old, which was late in the game for a lot of the folks around these parts. His mother had insisted that he not get one until then since his younger brother Marc was younger than he was. Lou never really got into hunting and fishing as much as other rural country boys did. He found it to be cruel in some regards, didn't feel like the game around these parts had it fair.
Lou didn't shy away from it, not like he was a vegetarian or anything like that. He just felt like the animals were at a disadvantage and that humans with their advanced weapons were cheating in the grand schemes of things. Lou kept a gun in his life since his first one; he even inherited his grand father's shot gun from his father when his father pasted away. Marc was far more into guns and had grown an impressive collection and didn't want 'that old thing cluttering up his racks'.
Lou had long since slung the shot gun over his shoulder and now walked very calmly through the woods whistling to himself. When they weren't full of demons, giant moths, wack jobs in gas masks, fairy folk or the darkened, the woods were a very calming place to explore. Most of the towns folks had some sort of appreciation for the out doors, but few felt it the same way Lou did. He had been in these woods for years, and woods like them for even longer. These woods were his home as far as he was concerned.
Lou did his best to keep his walk patterns random but short. He didn't want to get lost, but knew he had a lot of ground to cover. His attention span would come and go as the walk wore on but generally speaking his kept his wits about him just to be safe. He came to a small brook that he knew he could trace all the way back to the lake if he needed a fast way back to town and he sat down by it's edge.
He decided he would refresh himself with the water in the brook, not by drinking it, but by instead pulling off his boots and dipping his feet into the cool water for a little bit. With two plops, he plunged his feet into the water and tossed his boots onto a near by stump while he sat on a rock. He groaned some as he flexed out his toes and rolled up his pants to his knees to keep them from getting wet.
He lingered in the water for a time and enjoyed the moment of relaxation in nature. For the moment, the problems back in town where not on his mind. He didn't worry about the gate, the government, lizard people, corporations, or even heaven and hell. He was alone with himself, out in the woods. The moment lasted just a moment.
A loud snap of a branch in the distance shoot through the silence and Lou was up with gun drawn in a flash. Lou's senses reached out as best he could; his ears trained on hearing out more twigs snapping; his eyes staring down the sights of his shot gun, even his skin was on edge, feeling the water running past his bare calves. He stood rigid, stone still in the foot deep water and kept his finger on the trigger.
He ran through the long list of dangers that could be out in the woods. He considered which ones he could handle alone, he considered which ones he could out run, and then he considered the ones that if they were out there in the woods, he was just plain fucked. As he stood there, ready for whatever may come, he sneered some and ejected a round from his shot gun.
As the slide of the long arm range out in the once more silent woods, Lou paid no attention to the round that went flying out of his gun and instead ran a hand into his pocket and pulled out a massive round that he slammed into his gun to load it. The massive round, almost as if by magic, managed to fit into his shot gun and Lou kept aiming his gun into the woods.
A moment past, then a few more. It became clear that whatever out there was either not showing itself, or Lou was just plain jumpy. Lou slowly stepped out of the river and eventually lowered his weapon. He quickly put his boots back on and retrieved the round that he had ejected to make room for an ammo change. Once the normal bullet had been picked up he ejected the one he had just put in.
He looked over the massive round and turned it over in his hands. His fingers ran over the name scratched into the bullet with a pang of guilt. He held it up in the sun light and frowned at the name 'Sally' in his own messy script. He sighed deeply and tossed the bullet back into his pocket and looked around the clearing once more.
"Please, please don't make me use this." He said to himself, barely more than a whisper.
"Killing a thing doesn't make you a monster. Killing a thing that don't need killing makes you a monster."

Aid groups warn of 'impending humanitarian crisis' in Afghanistan
International aid agencies have raised the alarm about an "impending humanitarian crisis" in Afghanistan, with medical charity Doctors Without Borders (Medecins Sans Frontieres, or MSF) saying the country's vulnerable healthcare system was facing a "potential collapse".
On Monday, the United Nations appealed for almost $200m in extra funding for life-saving aid in Afghanistan after the Taliban's takeover last month resulted in the exodus of aid workers and subsequent funding cut.
"Basic services in Afghanistan are collapsing and food and other life-saving aid is about to run out," said OCHA spokesman Jens Laerke on Monday.
Martine Flokstra from the MSF said an already dire situation in Afghanistan's hospitals has become worse since the Taliban's march on Kabul on August 15 triggered a collapse of the West-backed government.
She said medics have not received salaries in months and health centres are running out of medicines amid an increase in the number of patients coming to facilities. "So potential collapse of the healthcare system is one of our major concerns," she told Al Jazeera.
"Sirens are sounding," Al Jazeera's Charlotte Bellis, reporting from Kabul, said about SOS being sent out by aid agencies such as World Health Organization (WHO), MSF, Afghan Red Crescent and Red Cross.
The WHO has warned that Afghanistan was becoming increasingly desperate and that a pause in the country's wellness projects has left millions of Afghans at risk of losing essential medical care.
"WHO has said that 90 percent of their clinics will close imminently," Bellis said, adding that last year they treated millions of people through their 2,300 health clinics spread across the country.
Continue to provide assistance
The UN humanitarian agency OCHA said the extra sum meant a total of $606m in aid was now needed for Afghanistan until the end of the year, as the country has been cut off from the international financial institutions and its foreign reserves frozen by the US.
Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Monday that they will continue to provide assistance despite sanctions on the Taliban.
"We are determined with the international community to continue to provide the Afghans with humanitarian assistance. We can and will do that working through partners and NGOs such as the United Nations as sanctions remain in place on Afghanistan," he said at a news conference in the Qatari capital Doha.
Al Jazeera's Bellis said donor countries are trying to find ways to send aid through different aid agencies.
"It is a complicated picture in Afghanistan. It is a vulnerable country, but it has always relied on international aid and donors and a lot of that money isn't coming because of sanctions on the Taliban," she said.
UN meet over Afghan issue
The Afghan situation will be discussed next Monday at a ministerial meeting in Geneva hosted by UN chief Antonio Guterres.
The country, now under the control of the Taliban after 20 years of war, is facing a "looming humanitarian catastrophe", Guterres's spokesman Stephane Dujarric warned last week announcing the conference.
OCHA voiced hope that countries would pledge generously at the conference, saying $606m was needed to provide critical food and livelihood assistance to nearly 11 million people, and essential health services to 3.4 million.
The funds would also go towards treatment for acute malnutrition for more than a million children and women, water, sanitation and hygiene interventions, and protection of children and survivors of gender-based violence.
Most of the requested funds had already been asked for at the end of last year as part of a $1.3bn humanitarian appeal for Afghanistan, which remains severely underfunded.
Even before the Taliban victory, Afghanistan was heavily aid-dependent – with more than a third of the country's gross domestic product (GDP) drawn from foreign funding.
The UN has warned 18 million people are facing a humanitarian disaster, and another 18 million could quickly join them.
A full $413m of Tuesday's appeal were unmet needs from the previous appeal, while $193m would go towards new emerging needs and changes in operating costs, OCHA said.
Call for urgent action
The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) echoed similar concerns and called for urgent action.
It warned that millions of Afghans face huge humanitarian needs caused by one of the country's worst-ever droughts, acute food shortages, a fractured health system and the spread of COVID-19.
"After living through decades of hardships, Afghans now face the ravages of a climate crisis, a global pandemic and internal displacement," said Mohammad Nabi Burhan, acting secretary general of Afghan Red Crescent.
"Urgent international action is needed to support millions of people with the necessities of life through the coming months and Afghanistan's harsh winter," he added.

A blank slate presents exciting possibilities, particularly in a garden. Yet in August of 2006 as I walked up the staircase to our terraced yard and surveyed land with little in the way of landscaping, overwhelm was the more familiar emotion. The air was dry and there was no wind. It was very hot. The sun scorched and dust rose with each footprint.
I was still adjusting to the heat. I had spent years in the Northwest where the steady drizzle of rain was a mainstay, not the sun. Not surprisingly, in the Northwest a rich green landscape is the norm. San Diego has a dissimilar landscape although just as rich in its own way. I knew upon arrival I would have to look to different vegetation than the kind I had become used to, but beyond that I had no idea where to start.
I also felt lonely. I had wanted to share that first moment of walking through our new home with my husband, but Jim was still in the Northwest preparing our Whidbey Island home for rental. Our animals were with him too, which meant the house was very quiet. Thanks to the seller's realtor I had a couch, a few lamps and an old TV to keep me comfortable until the movers arrived in another week. My new job also helped keep me busy, but beyond that I was waiting for my home crew to arrive on the scene so we could enjoy this new journey together.
While I waited, I went to Home Depot and Lowe's. I scanned the aisles, perused design books and got ideas for the inside and outside of our home. I read often on the need to divide large areas into "rooms" which helped me to begin scaling down my largesse view and see the yard in smaller sections.
Tackling the landscape challenge in smaller doses did a lot to dismantle the overwhelm I felt. Otherwise my own need for perfection meant I would never get started. Once I recognized this, I felt energized. I also decided to get some help. For starters we needed a doggie door off the family room to the side yard, which was just a heap of unattractive dirt. A small step but small steps get you going. I had a carpenter install the doggie door and then skimmed the yellow pages to find a landscaper to help me turn that dirt into something else.
I had a couple of ideas. For one, I wanted to separate the side yard into two spaces — one for guests who wanted to sit, relax and enjoy the area, and another for the dogs if I needed to keep them from that very spot. However, the two spaces needed to remain connected if I wanted to open things up.
Enter Tony who just started his landscape business and with whom I felt I had an instant rapport. He was a scruffy young fellow, a little prone to the drink, but someone with a passion for the land. I liked him readily, maybe because I sensed he was trying to carve a living for himself and his son and wanted very much to do things right. Our mutual enthusiasm fed off the other and before long we had a plan. A patio here, a walkway there, a dry creek bed which would not mind the lifting of a dog leg, and lush plants to please my husband's visual hunger for all things tropical.
The result was wonderful and I couldn't wait to share the side yard with Jim when he came home with our animals. When he did, perfection gave way to reality. Jim loved the outcome and sat down to survey the space. The dogs liked the space also. They marked the new flagstone patio, the plants that made our yard their new home and pretty much everything else. We call it acid rain. The dogs call it their territory. I still have a lot to learn about peaceful co-existence with animals, but what I did learn about the side yard project was how important it is to breakdown goals into doable portions. As to the acid rain, I washed down the plants and the patio, making them new again. I asked the plants their forgiveness but I am very certain they don't distress over these issues like I do. They just adapt or don't. As to the dogs, they went into the house, curled into bed and slept. Typical.


Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo's first wind turbine explores the methods and processes that are employed to manufacture utility scale wind turbines, and applies them to small scale wind turbines. The primary objective is to promote the development of small scale wind turbine blades in ways that resemble, as closely as possible, the construction and methods of utility scale turbine blade manufacturing. Vacuum infusion is employed to create a hollow, multi piece, lightweight design using carbon fiber and fiberglass with an epoxy based resin. A "rapid prototyping" method is developed using high density foam molds that allows short cycle time between design iterations of aerodynamic planforms. A production run of eight blades is manufactured and key components of the blade are tested to determine the appropriateness of the design.

White dwarf resurrection
The bright star in the centre of this image is not the star of this show. At the bottom centre is a rather unremarkable smudge of red which is in fact a rare and valuable object.
First discovered by amateur Japanese astronomer, Yukio Sakurai, in 1996, and noted as a nova-like object, Sakurai's discovery turned out to be far more interesting than the supernova he initially supposed it to be.
The object is actually a small white dwarf star undergoing a helium flash — one of only a handful of examples of such an event ever witnessed by astronomers.
Normally, the white dwarf stage is the last in the life cycle of a low-mass star. In some cases, however, the star reignites in a helium flash and expands to return to a red giant state, ejecting huge amounts of gas and dust in the process, before once again shrinking to become a white dwarf.
It is a dramatic and short-lived series of events, and Sakurai's Object has allowed astronomers a very rare opportunity to study the events in real time. The white dwarf emits sufficient ultraviolet radiation to illuminate the gas it has expelled, which can just be seen in this image as the ring of red material.
This image was taken using the FORS instrument, mounted on ESO's Very Large Telescope.

Music can be one of the most impacting pieces of media in our lives. Cultures all over the world celebrate with music and look too music to bring people together. Not only is it something that we listen to with others, it is also something we can rely on in our dark times. Something to give us peace when we need it most. Something that can pick us back up when we've fallen. I had the amazing opportunity to talk to Christany and Casey Mack about their experiences and how music has impacted their lives.
In high school, Mrs. Mack suffered from depression and many of the symptoms that came with it. It led her to shut herself off from others and not want to seek help. She felt "trapped" and "captivated" by her depression. "I didn't want to break free from my depression," she said.
The one thing that helped her get through these hard times was the music she listened too. She said music was extremely helpful and powerful during the times she was suffering. She was especially moved by the song "My Immortal" by Evanescence.
She also listened to a lot of music by Sarah Brightman, a former Broadway star. Brightman was previously married to Andrew Lloyd. He was the producer of songs like "Phantom of the Opera" and "Requiem". In fact, she was the inspiration for these timeless songs. Brightman writes music in a melodic opera style and often in other languages than English.
Mrs. Mack listened to Brightman's music because "it had beautiful melodies". It helped to calm her down in times of great stress and sadness. Listening to this music was able to give her a much-needed respite from her pained head and heart. It also "helped me to go to sleep when nothing else would," Mrs. Mack said.
She started to look up the lyrics to these songs and really get a feel for what they meant and represented.
This gives the listener a connection to the song and artist. When you listen to a song and come to understand the emotion and meaning behind it, the song becomes much more than just music to your ears, it becomes music to your heart.
Mr. Mack told me about a friend of his, who had a similar experience.
From just these two stories you can see that music is much more than a form of entertainment. Whether it be listening or playing, music can be life changing. When music has a meaning behind it that you truly understand,, you live through the melodies and lyrics. Music takes the place of all the hurt and pain you feel and gives you something else entirely to focus on. It relieves you, for long enough that you can process you feelings and emotions then stand back up and know that you can do this.
Andy Mineo started really making music in 2009 with the stage name C-lite by opening for some larger artists. In 2011 he signed with Reach Records Label and reverted to his legal name for the stage. He released his album "Formally Known" in September 2011 and has since released 3 other albums and a few singles.
Andy is different than both of the artists we have talked about so far. He tends to stick to the fast-talking style of hip-hop. He is able to flow his fast words with his beats on a unique level.
His song The Saints from his album "Heroes for Sale" is a great demonstration of his skill as a hip-hop artist. Throughout the song, he talks about how people didn't expect him to make it to where he is today. He continues saying, "Tell me give em 2 years it'll go cold.
But them words got ate like ocho." Andy wants people to realize that they shouldn't give up on their dreams just because someone says you won't make it. He gives himself as an example of this and shows people that he stuck to his dreams and they became a reality.
Andy has an amazing talent for mixing fast lyrics with a slower beat. He doesn't make the beat the focus of the song. He highlights the lyrics so they are not lost when listening. Some other song by his that are definitely worth checking out are Uno Uno Seis, Desperados, Ayo!, and Know that's right.
Jonah Sorrentino also known as KJ-52 started his full music career in 2000 with the release of his album "7th Avenue". Since then he has released 8 other albums with his newest being "Mental", which was released in 2014. At 41 years old he is still making unique music.
As a white rapper, KJ is constantly compared to Eminem. Most rappers respond to a comparison like this with hostility. They talk about how they are the best rapper and how they could destroy their competition. KJ had a completely different response to this, however. He released a song called Dear Slim addressed to Eminem in his album KJ-52, which was released in 2011. The song is a letter to Eminem asking him to consider how he influences the youth around the world. He talks about how Eminem is a role model to millions around the world and recommends that he would take that into consideration when writing his music. KJ goes on to say he relates to Eminem's past and has gone through a lot of the same stuff. However, KJ writes his music with the goal of giving hope to the youth through positive and uplifting music.
KJ-52's newest album "Mental" may be his best yet. His song Gameface is unique in the fact that it has two parts. The song is an upbeat song about being prepared for anything that comes your way. He sings about how he always has his "game face on" in preparation for that day's challenges.
A really deep and meaningful song in this album is called, Island of the Misfit Toys. He writes this song to all the people that are looked down upon. All the minorities in this world that need to remember that they are perfect just the way they are. He starts out the song by talking about himself and how he was the awkward nerdy kid in school, who would always be in the search for acceptance. He then goes on to tell how his mindset changed and he realized he was his own person. In the chorus, he reminds all those that are judged as different that they are loved.
This is just a small taste of what JK-52 is about and what he has to offer. Throughout, his 8 albums his music varies a lot, which gives you a wide variety of hip-hop styles to listen too. I would highly recommend checking him out.
Gameface, Mental, Its Going Down, Fight Music, Facemelt, Island of the Misfit Toys.
NF also know as Nathan "Nate" Feuerstein is a new rising power in the mainstream hip hop world. With his recent release of his album Therapy Session he made it to number 12 on the billboard music charts. He recently signed with the Capitol CMG music label in 2014 and released his EP, "NF" soon after. His first full album Mansion came out on March 31, 2015, and really showed his drive for music.
Nate grew up with a harsh family life. Between his parent's divorce, his mom's boyfriend physically abusing him, and his mom overdosing on pills in 2009, he needed a way to let out his feelings. Music was his escape. He writes lyrics about his real hardships, struggles, and pains. This is one of the biggest reasons he is currently rising in fame. So many people are going through hard times in this world and NF is someone they can feel connected with.
His first full album Mansion impressed so many people. Throughout it, NF gives an in-depth look at his past, hardships, and how he made it to where he is now. The title song "Mansion" breaks down how his mind in the terms of a house. He mentions how his mind is like a bunch of different rooms full of things he wants to forget. One lyric says, "Physically abused, now that's the room that I don't want to be in. That picture ain't blurry at all, I just don't want to see it". In the next verse, he says, "See my problem is I don't fix things. I just try to repaint, cover em up, like it never happen." He is referring to his past and how he wants to forget it. The song has a nice pace to it. Not fast, just enough that it is something the listener can understand and really get a feel for.
All of Nate's songs in this album have lyrics that come directly from his heart. In each song, you can feel his drive for not only his music, but for his fans as well. His song "All I Have," gives a great picture of how he feels about his music and his skill with flowing his lyrics alongside a faster beat.
I have just given you a small picture into the music world of NF. Every single song he has written is worth giving a listen too. I am planning on taking a closer look at his second album Therapy Session in the near future. If you would like to take a look at his earlier music I have put links to what I found below.

Liberal arts education is still important
The Times and Democrat
Once technical colleges focused exclusively on career training. That changed with the expansion into course offerings that were transferrable to four-year colleges and universities.
Now nearly every college and university includes in its education plan at least a measure of practical training for jobs. The objective is to create educated students with hands-on knowledge to enter the work world.
Approximately 3.6 million seniors will graduate from high school in the spring, and it is estimated that more than 65 percent of them will enroll in colleges and universities. Many will be pushed to focus on careers, being encouraged by parents and others to pick the so-called "practical" majors in science, technology, engineering and math.
"They (parents) think degrees in STEM subjects will ensure a prosperous future. It's only natural. But they may be making a big mistake by trying to dissuade children who want liberal arts degrees," according to author, publisher and education advocate David Bruce Smith.
Smith believes the study of such subjects as history, literature and philosophy can be the infrastructure of a successful career.
Despite a decline in the number of students who choose to study the liberal arts, there is a growing demand among employers for those who graduate with degrees in the humanities. Employers are just beginning to realize that prospective employees with this credential better understand the human condition -- and the things that motivate people, according to Smith.
"The study of math and the sciences certainly makes one an effective practitioner in the workplace. But a successful liberal arts education produces decision makers who are able to draw on a diversity of viewpoints and opinions. In the workaday world of business and commerce, that is an exceptionally valuable asset," said Smith, co-founder of the Grateful American Book Prize.
He and the late Dr. Bruce Cole, former chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities, founded the prize in 2015 to encourage young learners to acquire a love of reading and history. They saw that 21st century emphasis on technology was creating a deficit of interest in the humanities among students, and a noteworthy lack of knowledge about their nation.
"So, we created the Grateful American Book Prize as a way of encouraging authors and their publishers to produce more historically accurate works of fiction and nonfiction that would capture the imaginations of America's younger generations. Our hope is to instill a wish to learn more about the events and personalities of our country's past. The aim is to help them grow into practical thinkers and good citizens -- qualities that can make them productive, responsible and successful leaders in whatever careers they choose in life."
As good as STEM-related careers may be, not every student is suited to them – and does not need to be. Education in the liberal arts should remain a core of higher education in a nation that must have people with knowledge beyond math and science.
According to Philipp Frank, who authored "Einstein: His Life and Times," none other than Albert Einstein said: "It is not so very important for a person to learn facts. For that he does not really need a college. He can learn them from books. The value of an education in a liberal arts college is not the learning of many facts but the training of the mind to think something that cannot be learned from textbooks."

Trump set to be impeached for second time as debate begins in House
Chris Riotta
The US House of Representatives has started to debate the impeachment of Donald Trump, the second of his presidency, beginning the proceedings on Wednesday morning with a prayer just days after a violent mob attacked the Capitol.
It comes after the president was accused of inciting the deadly riot with a speech to his supporters in Washington, in which he attacked Congress as it convened to certify the results of the 2020 election.
That speech, as well as the president's conduct during the riots, which included posting a video to his social media platforms containing flagrant falsities and conspiracy theories of rampant voter fraud, has since become the subject of intense backlash among Democrats and Republicans alike.
The Democratic Party is virtually unified in its calls for the president to be removed from office, with House speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer calling on Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment.
Meanwhile, a wave of Republicans began to express their support for impeachment proceedings, both privately and in public statements.
The latest reports published by The New York Times indicated Mitch McConnell, the Senate majority leader, was "pleased" the Democrats were moving forward with impeachment, believing it was the easiest way for the GOP to rid itself of Mr Trump following the end of his presidency.
House GOP chair Liz Cheney, the third-highest ranking Republican lawmaker in the lower chamber, publicly expressed her support for impeachment and said she would vote to remove the president in a statement that alleged Mr Trump "summoned this mob, assembled the mob and lit the flame of this attack."
"Everything that followed was his doing. None of this would have happened without the president," she said. "The president could have immediately and forcefully intervened to stop the violence. He did not. There has never been a greater betrayal by a president of the United States of his office and his oath to the constitution."
Some lawmakers began their opening speeches discussing the "murderous mob", with California Democrat Judy Chu noting the rioters were "holding a noose for vice president Mike Pence" and "targeting House speaker Nancy Pelosi."
Despite the increasing support for his removal, it remains unclear if the president would be impeached by the Republican-led Senate. At least 17 Republicans would need to join Democrats in order to impeach and convict the president in the upper chamber.
The Latest: GOP lawmaker expects more Republicans to impeach
What to watch as House moves to impeach Trump for 2nd time
U.S. President Donald Trump at this point is opting not to issue a pardon for himself as he prepares an expansive list of more than 100 pardons and commutations for release on Tuesday, a source familiar with the effort said. White House advisers have said Trump has privately debated with advisers whether to take the extraordinary step of issuing a pardon for himself but some administration officials have cautioned Trump against a self-pardon because it would make him look guilty. Trump was impeached by the Democratic-led House of Representatives last week on charges of inciting the storming of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 by pro-Trump protesters.

'What's happening to managers now is absolutely ridiculous' New LMA chief Billy Brown reckons managers nowadays deserve more time
The former Hearts boss insists if more managers were given longer in charge they would come good eventually - like he did for the Jambos when they won the Scottish Cup in 1998
Anthony Haggerty
Brown reckons there could be fireworks this time
Billy Brown is the definition of a passionate football man.
But the 67-year-old revealed he's never been able to watch his infamous post-match rant when manager of East Fife that turned him into a viral sensation overnight in 2013.
Brown's interview following the Fifers' 2-1 defeat to Stenhousemuir went on to become the stuff of
football legend.
The five-minute outburst was aimed at East Fife supporters who barracked him and the players constantly and was captured by the Warriors in-house media crew and was posted on YouTube.
Brown was filmed prowling from one side of the interview room to the other as he launched a lengthy tirade against the supporters he felt were doing the team down.
He said: "I've never watched the clip. I didn't even know what Youtube was when I was told about it.
"I remember viewing the first 10 seconds and I thought, 'I'm not going to watch any more'. I never have and I never will! I just decided I was never going to put myself through that.
"It was just pure passion that came out because when you're a manager results matter. I cared and if you don't care as a football manager then you are in the wrong job."
(Image: SNS Group)
It seemed a fitting starting point for the 67-year-old who has just taken over the role as chairman of the League Managers Association (LMA) from Alex Smith.
Brown said: "I've been involved with the LMA for a while and I helped Alex Smith for a while. Losing Alex is a massive blow. He was really good at the job and he was a lovely man.
"He will be a great loss. Alex kept the LMA going over a number of years. It's not easy to do that. If it wasn't for Alex there wouldn't be an LMA."
Brown admits his own antics at New Methil were indicative of the pressures managers increasingly find themselves under.
St Mirren wait for Kenny Miller talks as Alan Stubbs admits interest in veteran striker
He insists some of the treatment meted out to manager these days is ridiculous and cited Kenny Miller's dismissal at Livingston after just seven weeks as an example.
The former Hearts and Hibs assistant said: "What's happening to managers now is absolutely ridiculous. Today's managers are walking into a whirlwind.
"Managers are usually appointed because clubs aren't doing well and you're expected to go in and wave a magic wand and suddenly make everything better.
"If it doesn't then you get the blame and end up getting the sack.
(Image: Alan Rennie/SNS Group)
"You need time to build a team. When Jim Jefferies and I went to Hearts in 1995 they had just escaped relegation the previous two seasons on the last day.
"We got time and we reached two cup finals within two seasons and won the Scottish Cup in 1998. We were given time to do that but today's managers aren't.
"Some bosses live from week to week or even day to day. That's totally unfair as managers are the hardest-working people in football. It's a pressurised job and managers are under so much scrutiny.
"It's an all-consuming job. Managers live with constant pressure daily. I don't just mean the guys operating at Premiership level.
"You don't have to be at the top of the managerial tree to feel stressed.
Under fire Dundee United boss Csaba Laszlo receives vote of confidence from chairman Mike Martin
"It's the same for the managers in the Championship and League One and Two. Guys like Csaba Laszlo and Allan Johnston are under enormous pressure to take big clubs like Dundee United and Dunfermline back to the top flight.
"I don't know the ins and outs of the Kenny Miller situation at Livingston. I know there was a clause in the contract and we're aware that can happen but not many clubs invoke it and it's terrible.
"What I do know is that seven weeks is not any time at all to try and implement any managerial change."
But that won't stop Brown's recruitment drive for the Scottish LMA as he believes bosses at every club in Scotland should have a greater say in running the game.
The former East Fife and Cowdenbeath boss said: "What bothers me is that managers don't have a collective voice. If we're all together we can become a force for the good of the game.
"The managers should be having a say in the major issues in football because they are the ones at the sharp end.
Hearts coach Billy Brown (Image: Craig Williamson/SNS Group)
"We should be involved in the disciplinary processes for a start. That inevitably involves managers and players.
"I believe we should have representation at referees meetings as the managers are the ones being affected by any decisions that are taken most. That's why I want to recruit new members and get all the managers together in Scotland. If we can do that and discuss problems then it may help.
"In England once you take up a coaching position with a club you automatically become a member of the LMA.
"Jim and myself are still in the English LMA because of the time we spent in charge at Bradford.

"Brendan Rodgers and Steven Gerrard are also part of the LMA from their time down south but in Scotland it's a bit different.
"The membership is not quite at 100 per cent but that's something I hope to address in my role as chairman.
"I will try my best with the LMA and hopefully we can have a voice."

History and tales in Kilkenny
Ryan Duggins
Published in August 2019
In Ireland, the more popular places travelers would visit are along the coastlines of the country. Dublin is the first county you'll hit when flying from Europe, where Galway sits on the seabed of the Atlantic. Donegal and Cork also have beaches and marinas that provide a backdrop to the major attractions, which is what makes the inland city of Kilkenny rare among the places to visit when planning your holidays to the emerald isle.
Enter through the drawbridge
Kilkenny is a beautifully preserved medieval city that houses some of Ireland's most historically significant landmarks that date back a thousand years. On a sunny day, families and visitors would use the grounds of Kilkenny Castle to reside for sunbathing and picnics, with the free-to-access park stretching across 21 acres of green fields perfect for a slow afternoon. The castle also has regular tours for those all-too-frequent days where the sun might not be out to enjoy.

Outside the castle walls, the city is connected by cobbled lanes that stretch across the River Nore, with music being played from popular bars and pubs housing session music through the day. Although there are dozens of venues to be seen in the city, The Left Bank, a multi-purpose bar and restaurant pitted in the center of town, would be top of the list. The building looms over the city like a giant, with its high ceilings and classic décor being more impressive than the outside impression. A must-see for visitors.

Score a goal for your county
Away from castles and bars, Kilkenny would be nationally regarded as the home of Hurling, a Gaelic game that dominates the sporting calendar year-round. The men's senior team are one of the most successful in the country, with a record 36 wins in the All-Ireland championship, a tournament that pits the best counties in the country against each other. The sport can be best described as a mix between rugby and hockey, with players using a 'hurly' stick to hit the 'Sliotar' into the opposing team's goal. Visitors mustn't leave the city without trying the sport out, with companies offering hurling experiences for tourists who fancy a whack of the ball. You can find the details of 'The Kilkenny Way,' a tour group offering hurling experiences, in Google.

The sport can sometimes look like a real-life game of Quidditch, without the brooms and backdrop of Hogwarts. For fans of witchcraft and wizardry, we need to leave the field and head to St Kieran's Street, where we have two significant venues named after two notable women. Alice Kyteler and Petronilla de Meath are 'The Witches of Kilkenny', who are now commemorated in the form of two namesake restaurants that remind locals of a dark past. Kyteler, after being accused of sorcery by the state after the mysterious deaths of her four husbands, fled Kilkenny to England and escaped almost certain death. Her maid, Petronilla, was left behind by Kyteler, and by association, became the first woman to be burnt to death for witchcraft in Ireland in 1324. For a truly rich and haunting evening, a drink at Kytelers bar followed by dinner at Petronilla's will allow you to immerse into that troubling story.

Not just spooky tales
Brighter tales can be heard throughout the city every year during the annual 'The Cat Laughs' festival, with the world's funniest people hosting shows during the June public holiday weekend. The line-up is usually one of an international persuasion, interspersed with joke tellers from Ireland that guide visitors through this medieval city with the character and warmth that you'd expect from Irish hospitality.
