Master of Public Health in Epidemiology
The Master of Public Health in Epidemiology in Temple's College of Public Health prepares students for practice- and research-oriented careers in epidemiology. Students learn to use rigorous epidemiologic methods and appropriate analyses to answer pressing research questions related to the public's health. The master's degree program will prepare you as a public health professional with expertise in
study design and appropriate data analyses that can be used to accurately quantify and assess population-based, health-related outcomes;
application of modern statistical computing software, such as SAS and R, and statistical methods for large and complex data sets in public health;
data management of health-related cross-sectional, experimental, longitudinal and survey data; and
real-world problem solving through experiential training.
Epidemiology is considered the foundational science of public health—it allows us to identify and understand the descriptive characteristics, determinants and risk factors that influence the public's health. Students in the Epidemiology MPH examine complex global and local challenges related to chronic and infectious diseases; train to understand determinants of, and methodological issues in, cancer and social epidemiology; and apply their knowledge and skills to develop projects that seek to answer timely research questions in community settings.
Our graduates are prepared to work in a wide range of settings. Students who select electives in advanced epidemiologic methods and biostatistics are also well-prepared for doctoral programs in epidemiology.
What sets apart our Epidemiology MPH?
Collaborative, interdisciplinary education: The degree program has a 5-to-1 student-to-faculty ratio, providing students with opportunities to engage with diverse faculty. Our location in the College of Public Health prepares students for interdisciplinary research and practice.
Renowned professors: Our faculty includes experts who focus on behavioral and chronic disease epidemiology, cancer prevention and control, social determinants, and water-related diseases. They have practical experience working in interdisciplinary teams in a wide variety of settings, including community-based entities; federal, state and local government agencies; health systems and clinical practices; and international nongovernmental organizations.
Real-world experience: You will gain hands-on experience working on projects with local or state agencies, private companies, or nonprofit organizations—making you competitive and prepared to launch your career after graduation.
Students take core courses that explore the fundamentals of public health, as well as courses that focus on specific topics in epidemiology, such as
behavioral epidemiology;
chronic disease epidemiology;
data management and coding of health-related data;
infectious disease epidemiology and HIV/AIDS;
methodological issues and strategies for chronic disease prevention;
multivariable regression of general and generalized linear models; and
social, behavioral and biological determinants of cancer and current methods in cancer epidemiology.
You will also complete two fieldwork courses and take electives in order to build topical expertise.
Students can complete the Epidemiology MPH in person or online. The program offers a flexible, 42-credit curriculum. Students choose from one of three formats.
Full time, on campus: Complete the program in two years.
Part time, on campus: Complete the program in four years.
Part time, online: Complete the program in three years.
See a full list of program courses.
Epidemiology MPH vs. Epidemiology MS
The Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics offers both an MPH and an MS in Epidemiology. While the two degrees have many similarities, they are distinct from each other in the following ways.
Coursework: The MPH includes core courses in the fundamentals of public health, covering biostatistics, environmental health, epidemiology, health policy, and social and behavioral sciences. The MS, in contrast, includes core courses that focus primarily on epidemiology.
Culminating experience: Students in the MPH program complete two semesters of community-based fieldwork and a final master's project. Students in the MS program complete two semesters of independent research, including a final thesis project.
Competencies: The MPH meets all competencies set forth by the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH). The MS meets many (but not all) CEPH competencies.
Depending on the specific electives that you choose in either program, you may gain many of the same skills and be prepared for many of the same careers after graduation, regardless of which program you choose.
The College of Public Health offers extensive, personalized advising services to students in each department. For questions regarding the program or admissions requirements, contact the program advisor.

Today I will be reviewing the pink perfect blush created by Erborian.
Erborian is mostly known for their skincare.
All the products created by Erborian are inspired by several beauty products and rituals from all around the world.
That's what makes this brand so special and so useable for everyone.
Their products are so pure, easy to use and effective.
But now, let' get to the most important thing of this blogspot: reviewing the blush!
Pink perfect is a line created in the Erborian skincare range.
They have a pink perfect cream, and a pink perfect blush.
Since I am really a blush addict, my choice was made quickly: I wanted the blush instead of the cream.
When you open the product, you can see a little cushion.
It is important to open the blush and remove the seal before you use it.
When you tap a little while holding the blush upside down, the product will come on the cushion.
The cushion is very easy in use, you don't need a brush to appluy this blush.
I applied the product in the swatch above.
It gives a light touch of pink to your makeup.
It is beautiful on pale skintypes (like me), but also on an olived skin.
and it illuminates and beautyfies the cheeks.
Would you like to apply your blush with a cushion (like this one) or do you prefer to use a brush?
Oh uniek! Kan je er ook precies mee werken?

On June 14, 2007, a Home Invasion Task Force was created due to similarities of home invasions in Connecticut. The Task Force was composed of the State Police, the Chief State's Attorney's Office, Department of Corrections, U.S. Secret Service and local law enforcement agencies.
Members of the Task Force determined that numerous perpetrators of the same group were involved in eight home invasions. As a result of an extensive investigation, task force members executed numerous arrest and search warrants on members of the criminal enterprise. On Sept. 14, 2007, more than 120 law enforcement officers participated in the takedown and all targets were arrested on various criminal charges. Fifteen individuals were arrested on charges of sexual assault, kidnapping, assault, robbery, risk of injury to minors, possession of firearms, sale of narcotics, auto theft, counterfeiting of U.S. currency and other crimes.
During the investigation, Det. Rosado and Agent Thompson interrupted a near-shootout between targets of the task force and a street gang. They stopped the shootout by displaying their weapons and ordering the violators to drop their firearms. The violators fled before any shootings could take place. As the violators were fleeing, Det. Rosado and Agent Thompson were nearly struck by vehicles driven by the violators.
Det. Rosado and Agent Thompson were presented with the medal for Meritorious Service; all others earned Outstanding Service Awards.
Trooper Kenneth Freed, Trooper First Class Christopher McWilliams, Trooper Darren Connolly, Troop H
On March 27, 2008, at approximately 12:45 a.m., the New Britain Police Department broadcast a description of a stolen motor vehicle which was just involved in an abduction.
While on patrol, Trooper McWilliams located the vehicle on Route 9 in the area of Exit 30. The operator engaged police in pursuit with speeds upwards of 100 miles per hour.
Shortly thereafter, Trooper Freed and Trooper Connolly joined the pursuit, which went through several towns and resulted in the suspect vehicle crashing into a wooded area in New Britain. The kidnapped victim was located in the vehicle and suffered minor injuries.
Trooper Freed, Trooper First Class McWilliams and Trooper Connolly received awards for Meritorious Service.
Trooper First Class Matthew Ward, Trooper First Class Kevin Slonski, Troop F
On May 21, 2008, Troop F received a call that a Haddam gas station had just been robbed at gunpoint. The suspect discharged his weapon outside of the store in the direction of the owner and then fled the area in a vehicle that was quickly located by Trooper Ward in the parking lot of a local elementary school. The school was immediately put into lockdown mode and thoroughly searched, with negative results.
It was learned that the suspect passed through the school in an attempt to access a wooded area behind the building. State Police also learned that the suspect had numerous firearms registered to him.
Trooper Slonski joined Trooper Ward in searching for the suspect and interviewing acquaintances. An intensive search ensued with the cooperation of personnel from Troop F and Troop I, as well as multiple canine teams, members of the Emergency Services Unit and Trooper One. Near the suspect's home, Troopers Ward and Slonski located and apprehended the suspect, who was still in possession of a handgun.
Troopers Ward and Slonski received awards for Meritorious Service.
Dispatcher Vincent D'Elia, Troop I
On March 22, 2008, at approximately 7 p.m., Dispatcher D'Elia was on duty at Troop I and received a 911 call from a man who was speaking unclearly and mumbling, but sounded as if he might be asking for help. The caller could not provide an address or any other information.
Dispatcher D'Elia noticed the call was coming off the Wolf Harbor Cell Tower and dispatched Troopers and Milford Police to check the area in the event the caller had been involved in a motor vehicle accident and was off a roadway in the area. He next contacted Verizon Wireless and learned the phone would be located within a one mile radius of the cell tower. He also learned that the owner of the phone was a male who resided in Shelton, approximately six miles from the tower.
With no direction to do so, Dispatcher D'Elia contacted Shelton Police and requested an officer check the residence. The Shelton officer discovered the man in his home suffering a stroke. EMS transported the man to the hospital where doctors were able to save his life as a result of the persistent efforts of Dispatcher D'Elia. Dispatcher D'Elia earned a Lifesaving Award.
Trooper First Class Matthew Ward, Trooper First Class Charles Burns, Troop F; Civilian Glenn Colvin, Civilian Erick Johnson; EMT Sarah Dahlstrom and EMT William Planeta
On July 12, 2008, Troop F received reports of a one-car rollover motor vehicle accident on Route 9 in the Town of Haddam. The vehicle was in the median, possibly on fire.
Upon the arrival of Trooper Ward, the vehicle was fully engulfed in fire. Haddam Ambulance EMT Dahlstrom and EMT Planeta arrived on scene and ran into the woods with Trooper Ward to find a male lying on the ground approximately 20 feet from the vehicle.
Two civilians, Erick Johnson and Glenn Colvin, who had stopped to assist prior to State Police arrival, were already with the injured operator. EMT Dahlstrom quickly determined that the victim had a serious head injury and began treating an open wound on the broken left femur that was protruding through the victim's thigh. Trooper Burns then arrived on scene.
As the injured operator was being treated, there were several explosions which caused the fire to spread to the area surrounding the injured operator. With the area unstable, the injured operator was moved by the Troopers, EMTs and civilians to a safer location to be treated. The operator was later transported via Life Star to Hartford Hospital due to his injuries.
Troopers Ward and Burns earned awards for Lifesaving; all others received Commissioner's Recognition awards.
Trooper First Class Robert Lanouettte
On April 28, 2008, a 911 call was made from a hotel in Westbrook reporting that a male guest was complaining of shortness of breath. The Westbrook Fire Department and emergency medical personnel were dispatched.
Westbrook Resident Trooper Lanouettte, a certified paramedic, also responded to the call. The Westbrook Fire Department emergency vehicle was on the scene first. Trooper Lanouette located the automatic external defibrillator on that vehicle and ran to the victim.
The victim was found in his room in cardiac arrest, unresponsive and without a pulse. Two hotel employees had just begun CPR on the victim. Trooper Lanouette quickly intubated the victim, attached the defibrillator and administered a series of shocks, restoring the victim's pulse. The victim was transported to a local medical center and made a complete recovery.
Trooper Lanouette received an award for Lifesaving.
Trooper First Class Michael Belton
On July 11, 2008, at 10 p.m., Trooper Belton and Hartford Police Officer Jose Perez were assigned to work Operation Safe City in Hartford. Trooper Belton and Officer Perez stopped an intoxicated driver and began conducting a field sobriety test on the roadside.
Moments later, both men were startled by frantic screams from a woman who was out of view. Trooper Belton quickly ran toward the screams and observed a woman, being attacked by a roaming pit-bull. The woman fled for her life, but was now cornered by the dog between parked cars and a fence.
In an instant, Trooper Belton assessed the situation as life threatening, evaluated his field of fire and drew his service weapon. He discharged one shot, striking the attacking dog. As a result of the single gun shot, the dog stopped his attack and fled, preventing serous injury to the woman and the small dog with her.
Trooper Belton received an award for Lifesaving.
Sergeant Ken Cain, Trooper First Class David Luke and Trooper Keith Timme, Troop H
On August 20, 2008, at approximately midnight, the Hartford Police Department received an emergency 911 call from the engineer of a freight train located in a train yard in Hartford. The engineer reported that a person was struck by a train and was under the train. Several units responded to the scene, including units from Operation Safe City 2008.
A young woman was found under the engine of the train and both of her legs had been severed. Minute signs of life were detected from the victim and the decision was made to remove the woman from under the train.
Sgt. Cain, Trooper Luke and Trooper Timme donned biological protection, crawled under the idling locomotive and moved the victim to a safe location. The Troopers used a drawstring and the victim's sleeve to tie around each of her legs as tourniquets. They stabilized and monitored her vital signs and initiated CPR. The victim later maintained a faint pulse and was transported to St. Francis Hospital. Later in the day, it was learned that she succumbed to her severe injuries.
Sgt. Cain, Trooper Luke and Trooper Timme received awards for Lifesaving.
Trooper First Class Timothy Begley and Hartford Police Officer Daniel Richter
On August 24, 2008, Trooper Begley and Officer Richter were alerted by a male frantically waving his arms and pointing toward a residence in Hartford. The Trooper and Officer observed a three-year-old hanging from a cement window sill to avoid falling 25 feet onto the pavement below. The toddler was attempting to place her toes on a one-inch ledge that was below the window. The toddler's entire body was outside the window and would not able to maintain her grip for very long.
Officer Richter ran and positioned himself beneath the toddler while Trooper Begley ran into the apartment building to the second floor. After knocking with no response and fearing the toddler would most definitely fall, Trooper Begley forced entry into apartment and ran to a bedroom. An air conditioner was installed in a window, with a twelve-inch void through which the toddler had crawled to the ledge.
As the toddler struggled to pull herself up, Trooper Begley took hold of her arms and was able to pull her through the window to safety.
Trooper Begley and Officer Richter received awards for Lifesaving.
Sergeant Arthur Goodale, Sergeant Kenneth Kelly, Special Agent Kimberly McGrain, Hartford Police Detective Richard Medina
On August 9, 2008, Sgt. Goodale and Sgt. Kelly, along with Special Agent McGrain of the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, were assigned to conduct surveillance during the annual Hartford West India Parade.
They heard a report on the police radio of shots fired and responded to Main and Cleveland Avenues. There, Hartford Police Det. Medina was administering first aid to an unconscious young child. The victim was lying on a sidewalk bleeding profusely from a gunshot wound to his head. The child was in grave condition and required immediate medical attention.
Ambulances could be observed two blocks away, but repeated calls for an ambulance went unanswered. Due to a chaotic scene, with several gunshots being fired and seven wounded victims, ambulance personnel were reluctant to enter the area until it was secured by law enforcement personnel.
Fearing the child would bleed to death, Det. Medina, along with S.A. McGrain, Sgt. Kelly and Sgt. Goodale lifted the child and ran to the ambulances. Det. Medina and S.A. McGrain kept direct pressure on the head wound. Aware that the child would die without prompt medical aid, Det. Medina commandeered an ambulance while a medic took over emergency care of the child. Det. Medina drove the ambulance to transport the victim to a local hospital. The quick and decisive lifesaving actions of all involved ensured the survival of the child.
Sgt. Goodale, Sgt. Kelly, Special Agent McGrain and Det. Medina received awards for Lifesaving.
Troop I, Troop H
The owner of a tanker-style tractor trailer reported that his driver had failed to return the vehicle and was in unauthorized areas of the state, failing to make scheduled deliveries.
The vehicle was located by Troopers in the Wethersfield area of Interstate 91. Troopers attempted to stop the tanker truck but the operator refused to stop and engaged the Troopers in a motor vehicle pursuit.
Troopers ensured the safety of all other motorists by controlling access to the highway and the area surrounding the tanker truck until the truck was brought to a safe, forced, controlled stop on I-691 in Cheshire. The tanker portion had 8,500 gallons of gasoline in it.
Troopers managed to keep the driver from exiting the highway onto secondary roadway areas, including a festival in Meriden attended by thousands of people.
All involved in this case earned a Unit Citation Award.
Troop H Auxiliary Troopers
The State Police Auxiliary Trooper Program was created in 1941 as a way for caring, responsible, civic-minded people to volunteer their time to the citizens of Connecticut by providing extra security during World War II. At Troop H in Hartford, the Auxiliary Trooper Program continues to thrive, with seven highly-motivated Auxiliary Troopers. These Auxiliary Troopers have 223 years of combined experience.
During the 2007-2008 fiscal year, Troop H Auxiliary Troopers John Corsair, Robert Dubiel, Preston Harper, Michael Nearing, Tony Pagluighi, Michael Tiernan, and Unit Leader Robert Walsh volunteered a combined 371 days for a total of 3,447 hours.
Their patrol hours were nearly three times that of any other Troop. To achieve these numbers, each Auxiliary Trooper had to work one ten-hour shift per week for the entire year, which is in addition to their regular, full-time jobs. These numbers are not a surprise to the Troopers at Troop H who are used to seeing them around the barracks and assisting them on the road.
The Auxiliary Troopers at Troop H are recognized as an integral part of the Troop's everyday function. They earned a Unit Citation Award for their work.
Connecticut State Police Bureau of Organized Crime, New Haven Police Department, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives
During the Winter of 2007, there was a public outcry regarding an increase in illegal narcotics, homicides, violent crimes and gun violence in the City of New Haven. The Connecticut State Police provided assistance to the New Haven Police Department with theses serious offenses and quality of life issues.
In January 2007, an enforcement initiative, the "Urban Violence Task Force," was created utilizing members of the Bureau of Organized Crime. They targeted violent firearm and illegal narcotics-related violations.
Utilizing their training & experience, and relying on information obtained from law-abiding residents, the Task Force initiated 377 investigations resulting in approximately 400 arrests, predominantly for felony gun and narcotic offenses. Seized were 51 illegal firearms, $23,825 in U.S. currency, approximately 27 kilos of marijuana and significant cocaine and heroin seizures worth an estimated $300,000. In addition, 78 arrest warrants were served and 44 search warrants were executed, along with 49 confidential informant buys, five undercover buys, five buy/bust operations and 247 on-site arrests.
The Task Force helped to reduce New Haven's murder rate to a five-year low of 13 in 2007. The Task Force was also responsible, at least in part, for a 40 percent reduction in shootings thus far in 2008. The collective actions of the individuals assigned to the Task Force contributed to a significant reduction in crime, improved the quality of life in the most violent areas of the city and helped to restore citizen satisfaction with the police.
All members of the Task Force earned a Unit Citation award.
Troop F, Westbrook
Trooper First Class Adam Brown and Officer Todd Belcourt of the Chester Resident Trooper's Office initiated a criminal investigation into the fraudulent use of a credit card from the town of Chester. Their investigation led them to a Bridgeport residence on January 12, 2008, where property purchased with the stolen credit card was observed in plain view.
Trooper Brown and Officer Belcourt obtained signed statements from the parties involved, as well as valid consent forms. Approximately $3,000 worth of property purchased with the stolen credit card was seized from the residence.
During the course of the investigation, Trooper Brown noted a strong odor of marijuana while inside the residence. He initiated an interview of the suspect that led to an admission of the presence of narcotics hidden in a closet. Subsequently, approximately seven pounds of marijuana was seized along with a scale.
Trooper Brown was able to obtain both a valid consent to search and a signed confession. Arrests were made related to the narcotics violations and multiple arrest warrants were applied for related to the original credit card investigation. Trooper Brown is commended for his superior judgment and investigative skills that led to the recovery of stolen property, as well as the seizure of marijuana.
A Unit Citation award was presented Trooper Brown and Officer Belcourt.
Connecitcut State Police, Statewide Narcotics Task Force, Statewide Firearms Trafficking Task Force, Auto Theft Unit, U.S. Marshal's Office, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Members of the Bristol, East Hartford, Hartford, Middletown and Milford Police Departments
As a result of increased incidents of violent crime in the City of Hartford, the Connecticut State Police partnered with the Hartford Police Department to develop and implement a comprehensive and proactive initiative to curb the violence.
The objectives were to arrest lawbreakers; deter & prevent commission of incidents of violent crime, gun violence and gang-related activities; and to enhance the quality of life for the citizens of Hartford.
The joint initiative, titled "Operation Safe City 2008," operated between June 16 and September 26. The development, implementation and maintenance of the initiative was successfully accomplished due to the dedication, expertise, mutual trust, respect and interagency cooperation exhibited among the law enforcement professionals selected to participate.
The following statistics underscore the operation's effectiveness: 2,580 total arrests; 1,343 total in-custody arrests; $37,736 in cash seized; 63 firearms seized; 656 summons issued; 778 infractions issued; 871 warnings issued; and 78 vehicles seized.
All involved earned Unit Citation Awards.
Dispatcher Karen Murphy
Dispatcher Murphy of Troop W in Windsor Locks took the initiative to study the content of the Bradley Airport's emergency plans, which were stored in a disjointed manner at Troop W.
Dispatcher Murphy condensed the material to a flow chart and checklist, which now serves as the instruction sheet for any Hazmat incident, mass casualty event, mutual aid request or airline disaster occurring at the airport. These critical instructions are now readily available to those assigned to Troop W. The instructions will improve the efficiency in the event of one of these disasters.
Due to Dispatcher Murphy's diligence and research, the flow chart/checklist was also adopted as the official reference guide by the Bradley Fire Department.
In addition, Dispatcher Murphy proposed revisions to the Troop W emergency plans. She edited outdated procedures, updated contact information and made suggestions for other deficiencies that were detected. Then-Troop W Commander Captain Stebbins endorsed each of Dispatcher Murphy's proposals, which were then officially recorded into the Troop's emergency plans.
Dispatcher Murphy accomplished all of this while still effectively discharging her "official" responsibilities to the Troop. She went above and beyond the call of duty to make Troop W more efficient and responsive.
Dispatcher Murphy was named "Dispatcher of the Year" by the State Police.

The term "marketing mix" was coined in 1953 by Neil Borden. Elements of the marketing mix are often referred to as the "Four P's", a phrase used since the 1960's.
Product – It is a tangible good or an intangible service that is mass produced or manufactured on a large scale with a specific volume of units. To retain its competitiveness in the market, product differentiation is required and is one of the strategies to differentiate a product from its competitors. In our case, the product is Star Wars.
Price – The price is the amount a customer pays for the product. The business may increase or decrease the price of product if other stores have the same product. The price in our example would be the ticket price.
Place – Place represents the location where a product can be purchased. It is often referred to as the distribution channel. It can include any physical store as well as virtual stores on the Internet. Place would be cinema halls where the audience watches the movie.
Promotion – Promotion represents all of the communications that a marketeer may use in the marketplace. Promotion has four distinct elements: advertising, public relations, personal selling and sales promotion. A certain amount of crossover occurs when promotion uses the four principal elements together, which is common in film promotion. Trailers, poster all come under this.
The 4Ps play an important role in creating, communicating and delivering value to the consumer. The consumption of the product depends on how well the marketing mix is able to do all that.
Given below is a table which shows what each element from the marketing mix does in creating, communication and delivering value.
Product: As the most important thing, Star Wars, the movie, had to create, communicate and deliver value. It has to identify a certain need of the consumer, tell the consumer that it has identified that need, and then finally, fulfill that need.
Price: The audience should end up with the feeling that the monetary cost to them was adequately offset by the experience of the movie.
Place: As the space in which the consumer consumes the movie, the place is important in delivering value.
Promotion: In the movie industry, more than in any other industry, promotions need to create and communicate value. A movie is a largely untested commodity, and the interest of the audience needs to be piqued. The only way to do that is through promotions.

Besides Serban,
I dig Mark "Spike" Stent. Super balanced, punchy mixes, very British sounding low end.
Manny Marroquin, biggest low end in the game and very polished sounding.
Joe Zook, his mixes always sound very musical and tasteful.
When it comes to rock I dig Bob Clearmountain. I especially dig all his Bryan adams records. Super tasteful mixes.
Randy Staub is amazing as well, CLA and his brother Tom of course.
Phil Tan has really good mixes as well, although I haven't heard anything substantial from him in a couple of years.

Serban did a mix for Weezer I'm Your Daddy (Dr Luke production) but it didn't make the cut. For those interesting in Serban, compare the Serban mix to the one that got released. They're both on youtube and you'll really notice difference in style between those mixes. P.s. I love how he mixed the La Roux album.
Hi, I'm Luke and I'm sitting on my throne! Oh, and have you noticed that Denniz PoP songs are extremely hooky?

Yeah, I know that one. I definitely prefer the Serban mix.
I think it was a stylistic decision of the band.
I still believe Max somehow also "made" Serban's career because he entrusted him with every single song and no one else. That is huge for a mixing engineer. The first song Serban mixed for Max was Britney's "Overprotected". Since then every Max song has Serban as mix engineer. There's even a video on YouTube of max listening to Serbans mix of "Overprotected" and clearly loving it.
Have you guys heard the mixing engineer dispute between Max Martin and Bon Jovi for "It's my life"? Bon Jovi wanted Bob clearmountain to mix the song, Max wanted Serban to mix the song. Max told the band that he was going to remove his and Rami's credits from the song if Serban wasn't going to get the gig. In the end, Bob Clearmountain mixed the song and somehow they removed Rami's name from the credits but kept Max'. Pretty weird 😂
P.s. I love how he mixed the La Roux album.
The mixing on that record is amazing! I hate the mastering though. Every song sounds smashed to oblivion with audible distortion. It's almost hard to listen to it on really good speakers. Such a waste of otherwise amazing mixes.

Ilbert came to Maratone around 2005 and I think that he was primarily involved with Max as a sound engineer and most if not all of his involvements were in guitar driven songs.
Serban's sound doesn't fit to the character of rock as well as the sound of other engineers. That's likely why his I'm Your Daddy mix was not chosen.

4 hit songs in like 10-15 years? Isn't it more interesting that 4 of the biggest female pop stars in later years are of Albanian descent? Rita Ora, Dua Lipa, Ava Max, Bebe Rexha. Or that like at least 8 of the biggest DJ's in the world are from the Netherlands.
I saw this picture the other day and it reminded me of your DJ from the Netherlands post
I wanted to write you guys about it but then decided to link you guys the documentary. A quick find only resulted in the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbszqGw11Gg This is about the history of dutch dance music and it is very telling to why dutch dj's are as good as they are. I am dutch myself. When you grow up, you see those dj's and believe that the way into music is through dance music (although that is wrong thinking, but was right from roughly 2010-2015 as dance trends set foot into pop music back then, giving people like ali payami and oscar holter opportunitie to work with max).
Thanks for sharing. The trailer looks very interesting. Gotta check it out somewhere
If you have tried your best to find it and it didn't work out, let me know and I'll do my best to provide it for you.
Awesome. Thank you. Will do! Since you're from the Netherlands, how do you explain the tremendous gain in popularity of dance music in 2010-2015 all over the world? I mean, guys like Nicky Romero, Tiesto, Afrojack have been around for a much longer time than 2010 but there was something very weird going on in those years. Almost every pop song had the typical "four on the floor" beat. Max was doing dubstep influenced tracks for Britney and the world discovered Avicii and Martin Garrix.
My starting point is, and I quote Dr Luke: "Music moves in cycles, you know". I could write a whole essay on how the music cycle works but I won't right now. The rise of dance music in the US pop music cycle was very much intertwined with the rise of internet videos, which often had edm music in the background.
A similar pattern occured with the rise of MTV intertwined with Michael Jackson's music, Napstar and the internet, and American Idols. The last few music cycles were inspired by technological changes in the behaviour of consuments.
What might be the next technological thing which changes the music? It was suggested in 2018 by Guy Zapoleon that it could be Alexa (smart speakers), which selects the songs for you according to your mood: "alexa, play sad songs". Basically, streaming services like spotify do something similar and it might be true after all, the zapoleon prediction. At the same time, another development that has happened is "social media stories" where you select your background music and, of course, in a similar fashion tiktok. But to me it's one of the hardest thing of the question of how the music cycle will move: what will be the thing that determines the next thing? It could be something which we don't even know yet that it exists. For example, raising the idea of downloading music from the internet for free back in 1994... people would say you are crazy. David Guetta speculated on Dutch tv that post lockdown would have an impact on music development, in particular stimulated by an excessive need of young people to unite at music festivals.
« Last Edit: July 09, 2021, 12:58:19 AM by Snipes3000 »
I think David Guetta is right in that regard. Especially young people are fed up with sitting at home and isolating so festivals definitely will be big.
Tik Tok is definitely sculpting the music business right now, as well as playlists as you said. Therefore it is very important for artists to build a brand people can recognize. If an artists song is in a big playlist, it could rank up millions of plays, still people don't care who the artist is. That's where brands come in.
I think it's really hard to predict the future. I think mashups could somehow become more of a thing. I see more people doing mashup of two popular songs and people dig it. For me, I totally dislike that idea of combing two already existing song, but kids seem to dig it.


When I was young I hated reading aloud in class. I dreaded when my teacher would tell us we were going to do Popcorn Reading. While I actually could read and write very, very well, when I had to read aloud in front of anyone I would stutter, blush and sound like I couldn't read at all.
Really, I had a terrible fear of speaking in front of the class or any strangers (in large or small groups) for a very long time.
I couldn't talk to a boy without my face fully blushing until I graduated college.
Reading Harry Potter changed all of that. While I had always devoured books silently, often reading through the night, JK Rowling's works really had me thoroughly enjoying every second. I was, and am, in awe of her ability to be so creative. It still stuns me.
When I had Finn, I knew exactly what I would read aloud to him. He's only 14 months old and already I have so much fun using all different voices and accents to tell him the story so that it's truly entertaining. This did a tremendous thing for me... without me realizing it; it helped me get over my fear of public speaking.
You're told over and over again how you'll "grow out of things" or that it'll "get easier". And for new parents, you're constantly told "having a baby changes everything." [EYE ROLL.] This was one thing that changed for me, that I grew out of, that got easier. It may not be a room full of people who I'm reading aloud to, but at least it's a start.

Can Pedro Parente fix food company BRF?
After leaving Petrobras, Pedro Parente takes over BRF. Photo: ABr
When Pedro Parente took over as CEO of Petrobras in May 2016, Brazil's oil and gas company was the most indebted of its kind in the world. Two years later, the company has reclaimed its respectability, despite its recovery owing to a much-criticized pricing policy which pleased investors but infuriated fuel consumers. Now, Mr. Parente may be facing an even bigger challenge: saving food company BRF from the abyss.
The markets are fond of Pedro Parente. When he resigned from the top job at Petrobras, the company's stock crashed by 15 percent. This week, when it became clear that the executive would be named as the new boss of BRF, the food company's stock went up by 2 percent in after market hours.
But it will be no easy task. Mr. Parente’s name alone will not be enough to turn around the mess which BRF has gotten itself into. The company’s image and financial performance have been severely hit by Federal Police investigations against corruption schemes to defraud sanitary permits. The scandals led the European Union, China, and Saudi Arabia (all important markets) to embargo BRF products.

What Mr. Parente brings to the table is the impression that, after 53 days without a CEO, Brazil’s second-biggest meat producer will no longer be adrift. Stakeholders have been at each other’s throats for at least a couple of years, when the company began accumulating losses. Earlier this year, the former chairman of the board faced a sort of “mutiny” that led the company to turn to Pedro Parente.

Market analysts have been prudent with their optimism. Last week, Credit Suisse published a report highlighting that “like in any company that undergoes such drastic changes, it is hard to imagine that BRF will become the company it used to be.”

How did BRF become so problematic in the first place?

Until recently, BRF was headed by Abilio Diniz, a member of one of Brazil’s richest families. He was famous for being the boss at Pão de Açúcar, the country’s leading supermarket chain which has been controlled by French retailer Casino Guichard-Perrachon since 2012.

In 2015, Diniz promoted a radical change to the company’s management – which turned out to be an utter failure. Since July 2015, BRF has lost 62 percent of its market value – i.e. BRL 36 billion.

<img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-5078" src="https://brazilian.report/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/export-du5XS-1024x330.png" alt="brf net debt" width="1024" height="330" srcset="https://brazilian.report/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/export-du5XS-1024x330.png 1024w, https://brazilian.report/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/export-du5XS-300x97.png 300w, https://brazilian.report/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/export-du5XS-768x247.png 768w, https://brazilian.report/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/export-du5XS-610x196.png 610w, https://brazilian.report/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/export-du5XS.png 1180w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" />

The new management became known for employing aggressive strategies in a generally conservative business. BRF took risks in areas which are pivotal for poultry and pork producers. For instance, it decided to reduce animal food stocks to increase cash flow. But when corn prices went up, the company was forced to pay extra in order to avoid losing its animals to starvation.

According to a former executive, Diniz’s crowd wanted to replicate the same business model used by beer and soda producers AmBev, without questioning whether it was transferrable to the meat production business.

Moreover, BRF’s management was erratic, to say the least. Between 2013 and 2018, the company changed its CEO five times. The most puzzling thing about those radical changes is the company was doing fine before. The board of directors tried to fix what was, in fact, working fairly well. The result? BRF went from a BRL 2.9 billion profit in 2015 to losses of BRL 375 million and BRL 1.1 billion last year.

Challenges Pedro Parente will face

In more ways than not, Pedro Parente is expected to implement at BRF the recipe he used to recover Petrobras from its dire financial strains. That means renegotiating debt maturity dates, accelerating a divestment plan that will get rid of plants which are not essential to the core business, and adjusting the company’s capital structure without diluting the current stakeholders.

He will also have to deal – just like he did in Petrobras – with angry shareholders who believe that the company operated to their detriment. In the United States, the recent sanitary scandals resulted in class actions from investors. Meanwhile, the 10-day truckers’ strike caused the death of 70 million chickens. As a consequence, the company decided to close down a turkey plant in Goiás.

Mr. Parente is set to remain BRF boss for one year and will use this time to groom a replacement to continue his plan for the company. The market’s trust in him wasn’t shaken by the way he left Petrobras. But it could be depending on his performance at BRF.

Ferrari "Timeless Masterpieces" Exhibition Opens
by Jordan Harry March 21 2019 576 AMORE?
The Enzo Ferrari Museum in Modena unveils a new exhibition, "Timeless Masterpieces", with some of the most elegant cars in the history of the marque on display.
When selecting the models, the curators of this collection focused on gran turismo and sports models, both for their iconic value and for the important role they played in the stylistic revolution of the Ferrari brand, giving shape to the aesthetic vision of their respective eras and leaving their mark on the automotive industry and beyond.
The 166 Inter from 1948 and the 750 Monza from 1954 were chosen to open the exhibition, two seductive symbols of the post-war economic boom. The 250 California from 1957 continues this legendary series, followed by the 250 GTO from 1962 and the 365 GTS4 from 1969 to name just a few, as well as the more recent Ferrari California from 2008 and the GTC4Lusso from 2016. This extraordinary procession is brought to a close by the Ferrari Monza SP1, brought out last year, an innovative reinterpretation of the classic barchetta cars of the fifties and forerunner in a new concept of special limited series cars, known as 'Icona' (Icon). These models eloquently demonstrate how a car can become a universal and eternal symbol of beauty.
The cars are presented alongside other iconic products from a number of different sectors, drawing attention to the links between them, from furniture to electronics and architecture accompanied by legends of music and cinema, in a refined to-and-fro of cross-references and mutual influences.
A series of cases display objects, works of art and images of famous faces in chronological order, revealing unexpected associations and unusual couplings with Ferrari cars from the various eras. The exhibition serves as an invitation to view automotive design from a different perspective, as an expression of broader creative and cultural movements, with a streamlined style that has been growing and developing since the thirties, in search of the degree of customisation that distinguishes today's luxury vehicle market.
"Timeless Masterpieces" establishes a dialogue between different worlds, helping visitors to understand how the various stylistic features and symbols of each era have developed, bringing the emotions that they have given us in the past to life once again.
