First month of the new class has been dynamic- there are a range of experience and projects happening, and as a student you get to soak up some tips about more than just your project this way.
Projects from January have included maquettes for larger future work, life cast of a their hand as a reference as well as some exercises I made to improve representational understanding and skills.
Here are some students, working away!
A great project to increase your understanding of the structure of the head- useful for sculpting and drawing. Starting with the most basic geometric simplification, and breaking that down to add features.
Seeing it Through Your Eyes II is a multicultural project by Connecting Cultures that aims to celebrate the diversity of the cultural communities and reduce racism and hate.
There are five cultural communities participating, and 2 artists from each community. Each culture will host a meeting open to the public to present and discuss their cultures history and how they connect and support each other. The artists attend all five cultural meetings and create a piece of artwork from what they experienced at each one. There will be a final art show showcasing the 50 works in May at the Cedar Hill Arts Centre.
We had the first meeting back in December, for the Metis community, and it was a really enlightening experience. I really appreciated the opportunity to hear about the history of the Metis people, which was filled with discrimination and challenge. It left me with a deep respect for those who are now embracing their heritage proudly and speaking out about their experiences.
This event is open to the public and is bound to be both alot of fun and also culturally enriching! Food, drink, art, singing and dancing- what more could you want? Bring a friend or two!

Hatem Ben-Arfa's lawyer has accused Paris Saint-Germain of violating France's professional football charter in its treatment of the 30-year-old outcast.
The former Les Bleus star rejected the chance to leave during the transfer window and was subsequently demoted to PSG's reserve side, which competes in the fourth-tier Championnat National 2.
Jean-Jacques Bertrand, Ben Arfa's lawyer, labelled the move a contravention of Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) rules which prevent clubs from denying professionally-contracted players access to certain training standards.
Bertrand intends to appeal to the LFP's legal commission if the former Newcastle United and Nice playmaker is not restored to first-team training by Friday.
"Legally, I think the club is violating the Professional Football Charter," Bertrand told AFP.
"I informed the club by e-mail and advised that we do not accept the situation.
Speaking on the day of Kylian Mbappe's unveiling, PSG boss Unai Emery responded by saying the club had informed Ben Arfa of the situation at the beginning of pre-season and that he may still be recalled to first-team training.
However, Bertrand labelled the comments "comical".
"Half of the team are with their national teams and [other] players have been called up from the reserves to complete the group. Obviously it is not a problem of overstaffing," Ben Arfa's representative said.
The 15-time France international has less than 12 months remaining on his contract and was left out of PSG's squad for the Champions League group stage.

Manchester Ranks 2nd for Foreign Direct Investment in BFPG Report
The British Foreign Policy Group (BFPG) has released its 2019 report and paints a vibrant picture of modern Manchester as a global city in the making. After London, Manchester is England's most visited city with a growing tourism economy attracting more international and business visitors than all English cities other than London. In 2018, Manchester's revenue from tourism reached over £8.1bn. The BFPG's report confirmed that Greater Manchester ranks second in receiving Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) with the current level now an estimated £2.7 billion with international trade worth £5.36 billion in value of goods. The foreword to the report has been written by Sir Howard Bernstein, now strategic advisor to Deloitte, Sir Howard Bernstein is one of the chief architects of Manchester's resurgence over the last four decades. Formerly Chief Executive of Manchester City Council (1998-2017) and former Head of Paid Service for the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (2011-2017).

Manchester named among top global cities for foreign direct investment
Manchester is among the world's top 10 cities for foreign direct investment, according to a new report. Specialisms in cyber security, FinTech and advanced materials helped the city bring the largest number of investments into the UK, outside the capital, during 2017, IBM's annual Global Location Trends report found. In order to compare regions around the world more appropriately, IBM looked at metropolitan areas based on equal labour catchment areas. On this basis they looked at a joint Manchester-Liverpool area, which attracted a combined 68 FDI projects last year, beating Dublin, Barcelona or Toronto. Top of the global pile was London, followed by Paris, Singapore, Amsterdam-Rotterdam, Chicago, Berlin, Frankfurt, Munich and Dubai. Manchester and Liverpool pulled in the 10th highest number of FDI projects which jointly created 7,000 jobs, according to IBM. Liverpool's core sectors include digital manufacturing, health and life sciences. Commenting on the report, Tim Newns, chief executive...

I have been diagnosed with the above and need to work out a suitable daily diet. Could you help me please.
I always recommend that diabetics should consult a clinical dietitian because it is essential that each diabetic has an individual diet worked out for him/her (check the List of Dietitians on this Website or phone 082-593-0276 or send an e-mail to sscharf@nhcltd.com or look in your local telephone directory or Yellow Pages, to find a dietitian). In diabetes the correctly tailored diet is one of the most important parts of the treatment you require. The dietitian will have to work out a diet which takes all your conditions into account - this is a complex task which one cannot do over the Internet. In the meanwhile click on 'Diabetes Centre' and "Gout' and 'Osteoarthritis' on the main Website of Health24 for additional information.

"Kaatru Veliyidai" is a fitting ode to bizarre ways of love!
April 8, 2017 June 2, 2020
What do you call a person who is constantly yearning for love, but can't look beyond himself in a relationship? Real, perhaps. Mani Ratnam's latest offering Kaatru Veliyidai inspects romantic relationships and its most visceral, vulnerable areas. Narrating lives of two diverse individuals in a tumultuous courtship, it is this very depth in its characters that appeal the most. Their internal conflicts are so intense that the whole backdrop of 1999 Kargil War somewhat pales in comparison. You barely notice why Varun (Karthi) and Leela (Aditi Rao Hydari) are up to out of each other's passionate romantic space. The situations, the peripheral players, the landscape – few things matter. Landscapes do, in fact, and more to that later.
Talking about the man-woman relationship in Kaatru Veliyidai, it is worth drawing parallels to the one in a differently-themed Breathless by Jean-Luc Godard. In a lengthy in sequence in the latter film, the couple discuss their possibilities and the man in question is pretty unabashed with his precedence to "self" over "us". Ditto in Kaatru Veliyidai, you see Varun is temperamental, veiling his male privilege and aggression with great effort. Leela is the (beautifully-lit) righteous, self-respecting Mani Ratnam heroine. Will she budge? If Breathless's female protagonist saves a slap for every impolite advance of her partner, Leela knows her stances too. She is clear about the love she wants and is not worried to expose her vulnerabilities either.
Mani Ratnam seems to be morally avert to the idea of pregnancy before marriage. While some of his former heroes either displayed extreme angst or indifference (Aayudha Ezhuthu, Yuva, O Kaadhal Kanmani), we get to see a pregnant bride in Kaatru Veliyidai (a nice touch, certainly). Adding more to it, we see our leading man develop cold feet upon hearing a similar revelation in his life. We also see a background to it. Mani Ratnam doesn't veil the dysfunctional family network that our protagonist grew up in. The connect or disconnect with his family members are sequentially established in the way he introduces them to his girlfriend. Amidst celebration and minutes before what could (probably) be the happiest moment for the family, they do not hesitate to expose their disdain for each other. This was, however, a beautiful projection of how otherwise happy-looking families would be deep within. Hence, Varun's thought process comes across as the most organically composed element in Kaatru Veliyidai.
The famous Bharathiyar poem "Kaatru veliyidai kannamma…" was first heard by yours truly in Blessy's heart-wrenching Thanmatra. Karthi's Varun is shown to be a fan of the wordsmith as well. He recites Bharathiyar's verses the moment he sets eyes on "the" girl. Similar to the poet's profound works spun around physical beauty, Karthi's compliments to Leela, too, are all bodily. With plenty of metaphors comparing the girl's beauty to celestial things, it is as if Leela was his answer to Bharathiyar's muse Kannamma. With Aditi Rao's porcelain beauty making it all the more magical, we don't feel contempt for Karthi's Varun and his unabashed dominating self. "You treat me either like a queen, or you walk all over me," says the girl. When Varun tries to prove it otherwise, she clarifies how his efforts aren't working – echoing an average viewer's sentiments. And that moment where the self-respecting Leela demands equality took me back to memories of those conversations in Breathless and one scene where the independent-spirited Patricia interviews a revered author…
Kaatru Veliyidai briefly talks about another aspect Indian love stories seldom do – with one of the protagonists identifying his/her partner's reason to invest in the relationship. Not to be confused with 'logic' that makes Leela put up with Varun despite his abusive ways. (because, love). Remember Rani Mukerji's Rhea walking out of a prospective relationship with Saif Ali Khan's Karan in Hum Tum? Purpose is the catchword here. "Why do you want to marry me?" asks Rhea. Karan's clumsiness gives her all answers and she leaves him pronto.
Similarly post their first major fight, Varun makes up with Leela. Soon we realize that he had been 'challenged' by his colleagues saying Leela wouldn't budge after the public showdown that preceded. Leela's expressions, for a moment, have us startled at the thought of this very 'purpose'. Later he proposes her for marriage and conveniently forgets his word, as if it were the most normal way to be. Such fine detailing add to a screenplay that ignores showcasing how their intense feelings were formed in the first place.
Kaatru Veliyidai is a canvassed as a grand, unabashed musical with melodious songs in quick succession and relatively prominent background score running throughout. Essentially a better directed film than it is written, the film's Air Force backdrop and the way men court women with their alpha male, dainty female labels in place takes us back to times of An Officer and a Gentleman. We see a Tango dance number, Leela's mellifluously crooning 'Bol Re Papihara' from Guddi. Non-Tamils might even smirk at an average Tamilian's default dislike for the Hindi language. Still, one wonders whether this backdrop and overall mounting were pre-requisites to establish the central plot's romantic intensity. How frivolous or less convincing would it have been if Kaatru Veliyidai focused on two absolute commoners, in contemporary India? Kargil, Srinagar, war, squadron leaders… we hardly care after a point. Even the 'great escape' sequence is largely underwhelming as it partially mars the film's rhythm. Of course, this is our protagonist's trail to discover the aforementioned 'purpose'. How we wish all of it didn't overwhelm as much. One also doesn't digest Leela's family connect to the whole love story. The 12th grade infatuation, knowing about Varun through certain letters and related threads add nothing but layers that are half-baked and unnecessary. Then there's the climax that just about passes muster with a measured flow of emotions (read tears!)
Now that he has set his story in Kashmir, Mani Ratnam makes full use of the landscapes. S. Ravi Varman's picture postcard-like frames, coloured to absolute perfection, are mesmerizing to say the least. A R Rahman's music and Vairamuthu-Karky's lyrics share tremendous chemistry yet again and play a significant role in establishing the characters. Sreekar Prasad's editing also matches the story and its lyricism. Sound by (Anand Krishnamoorthi and S. Sivakumar) integrate seamlessly to the story as does Sharmishta Roy's detailed production design.
As for the leads, Karthi pulls off the gargantuan task of not making Varun a detestable, male chauvinist. One should also regard the material on paper that doesn't glorify his complacence and is sensitive to his 'needs'. Although the actor appears strained in few scenes, he marks an appreciable feat by the time Kaatru Veliyidai ends. Aditi Rao Hydari, physically, is a delightful mix of Dil Se's Manisha Koirala and Raavanan's Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Temperamentally, she resembles umpteen other Mani Ratnam heroines and the actress puts in a stunning effort to make Leela come alive. Her sublime expressions and classic face merely suggests how perfectly cast she is. RJ Balaji and Rukmini Vijayakumar lend able support to the lead pair and their brief discussion of an existing love quadrangle is intuitive. It is disappointing to see veteran KPAC Lalitha wasted in a two-scene blink-and-miss part. Why?
As the title goes, Kaatru Veliyidai makes for a breezy watch. Although the sporadic integration of nationalist elements fail to match the intense romance, the film makes no room for severe complaints. Because Mani Ratnam convinces us of the saying, "Informers inform, burglars burgle, murderers murder, lovers love."
The way it is meant to be. The way we dream it to be. In breezy expanses, the moment they set eyes on each other. Where nothing matters but love.

Volcher Coiter (även Coyter eller Koyter), född 1534 i Groningen, död 2 juni 1576 i Brienne-le-Château, var en nederländsk anatom.

Coiter reste 1555 till Italien för att studera anatomi hos bland andra Gabriele Falloppio. Han anställdes 1569 såsom stadsläkare i Nürnberg, blev sedan militärläkare i tysk tjänst. I sitt första arbete, De ossibus et cartilaginibus corporis humani (1566), behandlar han människans osteologi, i en postum, av Eyssonius 1659 utgiven avhandling, De ossibus foetus abortivi et infantis dimidium anni nati, meddelar han undersökningar om skelettets utveckling och lämnar en mycket god beskrivning på samt de första avbildningarna av fostrets skelett. Hans Tabulæ externarum et internarum humani corporis partium (1572) utgör en verklig atlas över den topografiska anatomin.

Vidare studerade Coiter mycket noggrant bland annat äggets utveckling, hörselorganets ben och muskler, synnerven samt upptäckte den översta näsmusslan. Om den patologiska anatomins nytta var han så övertygad, att han ville göra obduktion på alla som avlidit av okänd eller oklar sjukdom. Slutligen inlade han stor förtjänst om den jämförande anatomin genom sitt arbete Diversorum animalium sceletorum explicationes iconibus artificiosis et genuinis illustratæ (1575).

Nigerian Tax › FG Yet To Remove VAT In Air Transport Nine Months After Decision.
March 21st, 2019 | Nigerian Tax
Nine months after the Federal Government approved the removal of Value Added Tax (VAT) from air transport, the decision is yet to be implemented. Capt. Nogie Meggison, the President of Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON), had lamented that its members paid at least N10 billion annually as 5 percent VAT to the coffers of the Federal Government through the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS).
According to AON, the remittance of VAT was negatively affecting its operations and it called on the government to emulate other countries in removing VAT from revenues collected from its members. Investigation by Daily Independent revealed that after the government's announcement of the approval of VAT in June, last year, AON wrote series of letters to the government reminding it of the pronouncement and the need to commence implementation immediately. But nine months after, the government was yet to reply to any of the letters written to it by the leadership of AON. Air transport is the only form of transportation that remits VAT to the government, while rail, road, and marine don't. Alhaji Muneer Bankole, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Med-View Airline Plc, in an interview with Daily Independent, confirmed that the government was yet to implement the VAT removal policy. He explained that the umbrella body of the airline had made attempts to ensure its implementation without success, stressing that the government still needed to inform the Ministry of Finance through memos which, he said, had not yet been done. He called on the government to hasten the implementation to further reduce the financial burden on the operating airlines in the country, saying that while the Nigerian government was collecting five percent VAT from the indigenous airlines, their foreign counterparts that operate in the country don't remit such, either in the country or at their bases. He said: "As at today, the answer is negative. Nothing is being done in that direction. All we are praying for is still to have the relevant authorities to do the right thing. "The government will still need to talk to the Ministry of Finance, budget and everybody, including the National Assembly, to have it down and become a law." Besides, a source close to one of the operating airlines told Daily Independent that FIRS still insists on the collection of VAT from the airlines despite the pronouncement of the government. According to the source, FIRS officials said the collection would continue until the airlines fast-tracked the gazetting of the pronouncement. The source, who is a management staff of the airline, also said that the carrier had written series of letters to the government on the issue to no avail. He said: "It's true that the government publicly made the announcement on June 1, 2018, but nine months after, nothing is heard from the quarters of government. We still remit VAT to FIRS and, most times, it is internationally inflated. "This pronouncement is not different from the one made on removal of waivers on customs duties. "At times, officials of customs still frustrate the waivers, too, through their antics. It is a different thing when a government makes a pronouncement and another thing when that pronouncement is followed with action. We need to walk the talk in this country." Prior to the Executive Order, AON had threatened that its members would no longer pay VAT with effect from June 14, 2018. The group had said then that the decision was taken after deliberations by the chief executive officers of airlines in the country. The body had argued that Nigerian domestic airline travel was the only mode of transportation paying VAT in the country, while road, rail, marine and international airlines don't pay, alleging further that some of the domestic airlines were exempted from paying VAT and called for a level playing field for everyone. The body had added: "The AON's position is that the VAT on airline ticket sales for domestic carriers must be removed completely forthwith as road transportation, rail, marine and international air travel carriers are not subjected to VAT. "Moreover, a situation whereby some airlines are paying VAT, while some other privileged airlines are not paying VAT, and the VAT, which we pay is being used to subsidise our competitors against those that are making payment is unfair." Few weeks later, President Muhammadu Buhari, through an executive order, had announced removal of VAT from the levies paid by the airlines, which received commendations from all stakeholders and professionals in the sector.

Q: PowerApps - autofill date for newform Using PowerApps, how can I get the current date to be autofilled into a new form?
Does the code go into the IconNewItem1 function from the parent BrowseScreen1?
NewForm(EditForm1);Navigate(EditScreen1,ScreenTransition.None)

as something like ...
BrowseGallery1.Selected.Date = Now

Or does the code go in the EditScreen1 / EditForm1 area as a rule?
Any guidance or suggestion would be appreciated.

A: You would do that in the form itself (or the date picker control of the form). Select the card that has the date value, and in the right-side pane select the 'Advanced' tab. You'll need to unlock the card to change the properties, and when you do, change the Default property of the card from
ThisItem.DateTimeColumn

to
If(EditForm1.Mode = FormMode.New, Now(), ThisItem.DateTimeColumn)

Where DateTimeColumn would be replaced with the name of the column in your data source, and EditForm1 would be replaced with the name of the form control.

BitTorrent announces new BitTorrent Now app for Android
- Jun. 23rd 2016 8:24 pm PT
BitTorrent today has announced that it is bringing a new app to Android that allows users to stream a variety of videos and music, mostly from independent and generally unknown artists and filmmakers. The app doesn't let you access the insurmountable amount of illegal content available on various torrent sites, but rather on-demand streaming content that's perfectly legal.
The app, called BitTorrent Now, will act a lot like other streaming services. Users will open the app and have the ability to choose from all kinds of content. Some of it will be free, some will be paid, and some will be ad-supported. but all of it is entirely legal and will have been uploaded by its creator.
In addition to supporting standard video and music, BitTorrent says the app will also support VR content and generally any other formats, as well. Essentially, what BitTorrent the company is trying to do is distract its name from the reputation that has become associated with torrenting and work towards offering a platform where independent artists can share their work.
This is BitTorrent Now: a platform that's powered by awesome people like you. This is last record store; live from your TV, from your phone, from San Francisco, to Moscow, to Sao Paulo. And this is distribution built by and for creators; the Internet's original, and outside, voices.
BitTorrent is using its Bundle format for the BitTorrent Now app, which basically means that users can be required to do something, like sign-in or pay, before viewing the file. Bundles allow creators to have greater control over their content, where it is shared, and who sees it.
At launch, BitTorrent Now actually isn't even using any peer-to-peer technology like torrents generally do. All content is being streamed directly from BitTorrent's servers to the end-user. The company says that this is temporary, however, and that it is working on developing peer-to-peer components (via The Verge).
Obviously creators could upload their content to a service like SoundCloud, YouTube, Vimeo, or Facebook, but BitTorrent says that the biggest selling point of the platform to creators is that there are no restrictions. They can upload whatever they want, in whatever format they want.
BitTorrent Now will be available soon on iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV and is available today on Android.

Op-Ed: Occupy Wall Street is Winning, So What's Next?
Yotam Marom is an organizer, educator, musician and writer. He is a participant in the Occupy Wall Street movement. Marom is a member of the Organization for a Free Society.
Marom (center back, in the blue jacket and scarf) teaches a class on social justice in Hoboken, N.J. He took his students to interview people at Zuccotti Park about "why they chose to occupy Wall Street." MetroFocus/Sam Lewis
The Movement Is Growing
Liberty Plaza is teeming with people gathering for assemblies, talking politics or meeting in work teams. Three hundred people are listening intently to a lecture on participatory economics, while others are posing for pictures with a golden calf sculpture donated by local interfaith leaders.
There are people passing by on their way to work, travelers getting off tour buses to take pictures, students from local high schools being toured around. There are people from the Bronx and Bed-Stuy, Minneapolis and Madrid. There are drag queens networking with transit workers, rabbis leading a thousand people through a Yom Kippur ceremony and members of the People of Color Caucus planning to "Occupy the Hood." People are doing yoga, teaching composting techniques, cleaning the square, and livestreaming the occupation to its million viewers worldwide. Some even manage to steal a few hours of sleep amid all the commotion.
Downtown Manhattan is an occupied zone, a bustling revolutionary city-center. People are taking the struggle on the road, expanding it, pushing it forward. We are making the movement part of our lives, and our lives part of the movement.
Over 100 cities in the US have active occupations right now, with more than 1,300 cities hosting formal meetings to plan for them. At the rate of change in this movement today, by the time this piece gets edited and published in a day, the numbers will be higher. Unions and community organizations have joined the fight, and national organizations are trying to decide how to best join the movement without thwarting or co-opting it (which frankly, they couldn't do, even if they tried). The pundits are conjecturing their heads off, while politicians of all stripes scuttle about, trying to figure out just how to try to use us. And yes, they are talking about us in Congress and in the White house, even sending their messengers to the occupation itself.
They would be fools not to. We are winning.
We Are Winning
Every once in a while, in the course of some enormous struggle, those driven, tired, frazzled fighters have a moment or two to stop and think, to pick our heads up and look ahead. I had a moment like that a few days ago, and that's when it hit me –- like a blow to the head: We are winning. We are winning.
We have helped to unlock the hidden and slumbering potential of millions of people, ready to believe again that there is an alternative.
Sure, we haven't captured government institutions, haven't smashed the banks and the classes that control them, haven't even won concrete reforms or come up with solid institutions to protect our gains. We aren't even close to finishing the fight or creating the world we wish to live in. But – alongside revolutionaries around the world – we have helped to unlock the hidden and slumbering potential of millions of people, ready to believe again that there is an alternative. We have reignited hope in the possibility of a free society, punctured a small hole in the hegemony of cynicism, liberated some space in our hearts and our minds to gather the strength to fight and to dream. What was inconceivable just a month ago is now so very real.
And then the second part of the thought hit me: If we are winning, then what do we want?
The media and politicians call us muddle-headed, and confused. They claim we have no demands or purpose. Well, let's set the record straight. It's not that we don't have demands; it's that we speak them in a different language. We speak our demands through our struggle. Our movement is made up of people fighting for jobs, for schools, for debt relief, equitable housing and healthcare. We are resisting ecological destruction, imperialism, racism, patriarchy and capitalism. We are doing it all in a way that is participatory, democratic, fierce and unwavering. There is nothing very vague about that.
After Marom and his students reflected about their experience, they posed for a group shot in Manhattan's Zuccotti Park. For the past four weeks the public-private park nearby Wall Street has served as a home-base for the growing movement. MetroFocus/Sam Lewis
We want a political and economic system that we all actually control together, one that is equitable and humane, one that allows for people to self-manage but act in solidarity, one that is participatory and democratic to its core. We want a world where people have the right to their own identities, communities and cultures and the freedom from oppression and constraint. We want a world in which community is not a hamper on individual freedom, but rather an expression of its fullest potential.
As we keep fighting, we will continue to ask ourselves difficult questions. What world do we envision? What values do we want to live by? What institutions do we need in order to live those values? What structures will we build to protect what we've won and create a platform for continued struggle? What will we win for ourselves, and what will we win for generations to come? How will we fight these enormous battles in a way that is both effective and reflective of the new world we are ushering in?
Make no mistake about it, we are not aimless; we simply speak a different language –- a language of mutual respect, participation, self-management and action. We make our demands in this language that screams that we are here for the long-run, that our goal is not merely reform, that our vision is deep and radical, that we will not be bought off or co-opted and that we are prepared to struggle in order to win not only those gains we can pronounce now but also those we can't even fully articulate yet. We claim our space through actions that shout that we are here to stay, that this movement isn't going home, that we are winning already and that there is no turning back. We build this movement through the firm and fearless declaration that another world is possible, and that anything less is unacceptable.
You will see our demands plastered on subway walls, scrawled on hanging banners, tweeted across oceans, marched on the shoulders of hundreds of thousands, shouted in unison from millions of streets, windows, and computers screens. You will see them all over the world, from post-industrial cities to the country-sides, from capitals to shanty-towns.
Yes, we speak a different language, a fearless and visionary one. We are shouting, with every ounce of passion and strength we can muster: Of course there is an alternative. It is us.

Take Care é o segundo álbum de estúdio pelo rapper canadense Drake, com lançamento planeado para 15 de Novembro de 2011 através da Young Money Entertainment, Cash Money Records e Universal Republic Records. O álbum estreou na Billboard 200 com vendas superiores a 631 mil sendo a terceira maior estreia de 2011 de acordo com a Nielsen SoundScan.

Antecedentes e Gravação

O álbum segue o sucesso do álbum de Drake Thank Me Later, que se tornou um sucesso comercial e foi bem recebido pelos críticos da música. Drake também continuou a parceria criativa  com produtor de discos de áudio e engenheiro Noah "40" Shebib, que primeiro apresenta o seu som distinto em mixtape So Far Gone. Para o álbum, Shebib pretende lidar com a maioria da produção e gravar um som mais coeso do que em Thank Me Later, que contou com funções de produção diferentes por Shebib e outros.
Em novembro de 2010, Drake revelou o título de seu próximo álbum de estúdio seria Take Care. Em comparação com o seu álbum de estréia, Drake revelou a YC Radio 1 que Thank Me Later foi um álbum apressado, dizendo: "Eu não recebi para tomar o tempo que eu queria nesse álbum. Corri um monte de canções e sonoramente eu não consegui sentar-se com o registro e dizer, 'eu deveria mudar este verso. Depois que ele foi feito, foi feito. É por isso que meu novo álbum é chamado Take Care porque eu começo a tomar o meu tempo neste go-round. Drake mencionou após o Fest OVO 2011 que Take Care poderia ter até 18 canções sobre ele, e acrescentou que Stevie Wonder contribuíram para a direção criativa do álbum e será apresentado no álbum também. Drake também revelou que o álbum foi gravado principalmente em Toronto. Debatere e se submeter a sua corte final ou não, a data de liberação preferido o motivou a criar um edição de aniversário, bem como uma edição de luxo a ser lançado na iTunes Store.

Recepção da Crítica

Take Care recebeu aclamação geral da crítica de música. No Metacritic, que atribui uma classificação normalizada em cada 100 a opiniões de críticos mainstream, o álbum recebeu uma pontuação média de 81, com base em 28 comentários, o que indica "aclamação universal". Da Rolling Stone o escritor Jon Dolan elogiou sua "luxe , a produção expansiva "e declarou:" Drake se estende ao longo lânguida, faixas austeramente de pelúcia que borram hip-hop, R&B e downtempo música de dança." Kevin Ritchie, Now elogiou o álbum" mix muito bem feito de surdo, low-end sulcos e melancólica introspectivo songwriting ", e declarou:" Drake sucede-se a dar o disco um som muito próprio. Pela Slant Magazine o Matthew Cole chamou de "notavelmente consistente" e notou um "fluxo imensamente melhorado" por Drake. Brandon Soderberg de Spin chamou o álbum de "um insular, indulgente, triste-saco épica hip-hop" e elogiou Drake para "vulnerabilidade nice-guy mistura com o narcisismo ferido", comentando que ele "encontra maneiras virar a calafrios douche ele provoca em uma grande parte de seu apelo "."  Ryan Pitchfork Media Dombal encontrados Drake "habilidades técnicas" a serem melhorados e afirmou:" Assim como suas preocupações temáticas tornaram-se mais ricos, assim como a música para apoiá-las ". O escritor da Chicago Tribune Greg Kot elogiou a profundidade do "psicodramas moral" Drake e declarou: "o melhor de Drake afirma que está a moldar uma persona pop com poder de permanência".
No entanto, Kyle Anderson da Entertainment Weekly garimpou seu assunto como "um monólogo woozy overlong" e chamou o álbum de um "downer total", acrescentando que "Drake meia-bakes seu tonto rap croon e esmaltes com hums teclado lento, congelando o impulso álbum ". Alex Macpherson do The Guardian encontrou seu cantando "insípida", seu rap" inertes ", e suas letras" oco ", escrevendo que" ele não parece perceber que a introspecção é só vale alguma coisa se você é uma pessoa interessante. The Globe and Mail Robert Everett-Green criticou letras de Drake como "patter arrastada "e encontrou as músicas para" noodle cerca de [...] sem rumo. O editor da Allmusic Tim Sendra visto Drake como "um meio-of-the-pack rapper na melhor das hipóteses", mas encontrou trabalho Noah "40" Shebib de produção para "encaixar a voz de Drake perfeitamente" e denotado força Drake para ser "sua vontade de mergulhar profundamente em suas emoções e os capacidade de transmiti-los em [...] de forma simples e real. David Amidon de PopMatters elogiou o álbum" modelo inteiramente coerente de áudio "e escreveu sobre Drake," Claro que ele é brega, mas ele também é um compositor excelente, e ele possui suas peculiaridades. Leon Neyfakh do The Boston Globe chamou o álbum de" uma coisa poderosa, tão turbulento e dolorosamente defensiva como o álbum de Kanye West "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy", e elaborada no assunto Drake e progressão como compositor.
Evan Rytlewski de The A.V. Club descreveu o álbum como "muito pessimista, mas também é lindo, uma envolvente obra fone de ouvido que é terno e íntimo como pouco mais no rapper contemporâneo e R&B. Adam Fleischer de XXL elogiou a sua música para "criar um cativante e envolvente ouvir experiência ", e escreveu que Drake" habilmente manipula seu canto e rap, confirmando suas habilidades songwriting crescendo ". Hutchins Andy das sensibilidades pop The Village Voice elogiou Drake e" compreensão da melodia [...] sua disposição de um som pouco mais cantilena que a maioria dos rappers para fazer um bar mais indelével ", chamando o álbum" um pacote cuidadosamente elaborada de sentimentos contraditórios de um rapper conflito que explora a sua própria neuroses de forma tão convincente como não alguém chamado Kanye West ". Ann Powers da NPR encontrou sua música cortesia ao assunto do álbum, afirmando que "astúcia da desta música permite-me um para essa experiência. posso dar o salto e se identificar com Drake, ou pelo menos estar intrigado com vários personagens em os pequenos dramas que ele projeta ". Jon Caramanica do The New York Times comentou que" Drake nunca cantou tão intensamente quanto ele faz neste álbum ", e chamou-lhe" um álbum de pop negra excêntrica que leva "de hip hop e R & B "como pontos de partida, pergunta o que eles podem fazer, mas não foram fazendo, em seguida, tenta essas coisas no futuro um álbum como este serão comuns;. hoje, é radical.

Rasmus shakes off rust in Rays debut
Outfielder goes 0-for-3 with three strikeouts in game against Phils
By Maureen Mullen
PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. -- While his line may not read the way he would have liked, just getting into a game represented progress for Colby Rasmus. The Rays left fielder had been sidelined all spring following offseason hip and core muscle surgeries. He made his Grapefruit League debut Sunday afternoon,
PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. -- While his line may not read the way he would have liked, just getting into a game represented progress for Colby Rasmus. The Rays left fielder had been sidelined all spring following offseason hip and core muscle surgeries. He made his Grapefruit League debut Sunday afternoon, going 0-for-3 with three strikeouts in the Rays' 8-0 win over the Phillies.
Serving as the designated hitter and batting third, the left-handed-hitting Rasmus faced Phillies starter Jerad Eickhoff in each of his three at-bats.
"You'd always like to do good but it felt fine," Rasmus said. "Trying to get the feeling more so now and just seeing some pitches. He mixed it up on me pretty good. But that's the [big league] innings that's going to give you pitches and let you get in the groove.
"So that's going to be a fight in the beginning to get the feeling of getting inside the ball and pulling those balls back fair, but I felt pretty good just getting out there with the boys and just a good feeling to be on the field today."
• Archer returns from World Baseball Classic
Manager Kevin Cash said he expects Rasmus to DH again on Monday when the Rays host the Pirates. That will be contingent on how Rasmus feels.
"I was just happy to get him out there," Cash said. "Hopefully he feels [good] and he'll be right back out there DH'ing tomorrow."
While it is not a certainty, Cash said Rasmus' progress is a good sign he could be ready for Opening Day. Rasmus, who had a long foul ball against Eickhoff, could get at-bats in Minor League games to get him up to speed.
"Yeah, we just have to see how it goes," Rasmus said. "I'm going to try to be honest with myself and make sure I make the right decision. But if it comes down to it, I'll go over to the Minor Leagues and get some at-bats. I haven't had much success with that because you go down and they see the number on your back and you don't see many strikes.
"So we'll try to just make the best decision possible, make a wise decision moving forward as far as that goes. But look forward to tomorrow getting back in there, slowing it down, seeing the ball, recognizing spin.
"Today [Eickhoff] was spinning some on me pretty good, throwing breaking balls and mixing the seams on me. ... I hit that one ball foul, and then they kind of locked it in on me, which is the way it's supposed to be, that's the big leagues, because that guy's trying to make a job. We'll just continue to work, try to get better."
• Second baseman Nick Franklin was ejected in the eighth inning by home plate umpire Ryan Blakney for arguing balls and strikes.
• Dayron Varona and Jake Bauers hit back-to-back triples in the Rays' five-run eighth.
• The Rays raised $16,350 for the Pediatric Cancer Foundation's "Cut for a Cure," as 20 fans and 35 Rays staff, players and coaches had their hair cut.

Goulding Opens Up On New Offseason Program And Ware, Boone Departures
May 25, 2019 Publicist Basketball 0
Melbourne United guard Chris Goulding has taken an adapt or perish mindset into the offseason, as he seeks to avoid the ailments that "hindered" his 2018/19 campaign.
Goulding averaged 14.4 points per game last season in a new role coming off the bench for United.
However, the 30-year-old has revealed how his body was banged up for large portions of the season, which restricted his production.
The combination of trying to get back to full fitness, and some handy advice from an NBA legend, has led to Goulding adjusting his offseason program, which has even included severely cutting back on how much time he spends shooting a basketball.
"I have stayed consistently in the gym just working on my body," Goulding told RSN radio.
"Last year I had some chronic knee tendinopathy, which really hindered me.
"I stayed consistent through the gym with my program, but I didn't shoot this year for probably the longest I ever have – it was going on like five weeks.
"A few years ago, I was in Dallas and I saw Dirk (Nowitzki). He didn't shoot for like eight weeks after the season, he got to a stage where he was like, I know how good I am of a shooter, so I'm just going to work on my body and make sure everything is right for when it is time to come out and do what I do best.
"I thought that was really cool. I got a couple of friends that do that as well. I tried it this year."
Not shooting the basketball for a prolonged period did lead to some rust when he did return to shooting, though.
"I actually shot when I was over in Colorado, a friend of mine is working for the University of Colorado," Goulding said.
"He said this guy is coming out from Australia, he is a good shooter, he played in the Olympics, I want you to work out with him, he said that to some of his players.
"The first 10 minutes of that workout, I've never shot worse in my life. This kid that was going to the University of Colorado would have thought, I'm going to be a pro, I'm going to the Olympics, this is easy.
"After I got my rhythm back, it wasn't that bad."
The modified offseason training has been a major change for Goulding, as it's something he has never experienced.
He concedes taking better care of his body has become a priority, after not realising the full importance of it earlier in his career.
"It's probably something that I neglected early in my career," Goulding said.
"You get out of bed and feel great, let's go, you're throwing down dunks, your body feels amazing.
"As you hit late 20s and now I'm 30, last year was the first offseason where I felt I didn't take good enough care of my body.
"I was always in there shooting, running, working out, but the strength side of things I probably let slip. I think I felt that throughout the year."
Goulding's health didn't see him miss chunks of time last season, as he played 31 of a possible 34 games for United.
He received comforting news that surgery wasn't required, with doctors informing Goulding he needed to build strength in key areas of his body.
Goulding has taken that feedback on board, and says he is reaping the benefits.
"There wasn't surgery, my body is in pretty good nick," he said.
"I saw a couple of specialists and they said my tendons are in good nick, it's just you got to work on everything else around it to support it.
"Just had a six to eight-week program really strengthening my posterior chain. I'm feeling really good. I'm feeling the benefits of that."
The winds of change have blown through United this offseason, with key championship players Casper Ware and Josh Boone departing the club.
Ware has moved to the Sydney Kings to align with reigning NBL MVP Andrew Bogut, with Goulding commenting Melbourne simply couldn't match the offer.
However, Goulding holds no hard feelings towards his former teammate, but did acknowledge it grows the Melbourne v Sydney rivalry.
"Whenever you win a championship and go through ups and downs with a group, it's really hard to look at things realistically and how things need to be looked at," Goulding said.
"Casper was a tough one to lose, everyone at Melbourne loves him. It just got to a point, as far as I understand, that it couldn't be done.
"If we wanted to keep our club moving in a positive direction on and off the court, financially, it couldn't be done.
"I was the first one to congratulate Casper. What you want is someone to succeed and to be able to look after their family. He went out and secured that for him, he moved to Sydney, it adds another little block to our rivalry."
Goulding also holds confidence that Ware's replacement, Melo Trimble, will be a positive addition.
"We go and get a Melo Trimble, who was arguably one of the best imports in his first year in the league and that's something you can't gloss over," Goulding said.
"Coming into this league and to perform off the jump is really impressive. Second season around, he is going to be even better.
"Our goal doesn't change, it is to win a championship."
Boone is another player United will miss according to Goulding, as he heads to the Illawarra Hawks.
"Josh has a unique skillset where he can go and get 20 points and 10 rebounds and not demand the ball," Goulding said.
"For an American to come in and do such great things without demanding the ball, it was a really unique skillset. We will miss that from him.
"We are happy he has landed in the league, he is a guy we have to keep in the league. It is a business, the negotiations happened, and we moved in a different direction.
"Another good little rivalry. He is ready to roll for rivalries, when he rolls into Melbourne Arena, he will be ready to go."

Software Defined Storage For Dummies, IBM Platform Computing Edition, examines data storage and management challenges and explains software defined storage, an innovative solution for high-performance, cost-effective storage using IBM's GPFS.
The rapid, accelerating growth of data, transactions, and digitally aware devices is straining today's IT infrastructure and operations. At the same time, storage costs are increasing and user expectations and cost pressures are rising. This staggering growth of data has led to the need for high-performance streaming, data access, and collaborative data sharing.
If you work with big data in the cloud or deal with structured and unstructured data for analytics, you need software defined storage. Software defined storage uses standard compute, network, and storage hardware; the storage functions are all done in software, such as IBM GPFS, that provides automated, policy driven, application aware storage services, through orchestration of the underlining storage infrastructure in support of an overall software defined environment.

Results: quick hit with the cutter then a few strokes with the cabinet scraper.
I sometimes use a disk grinder with a sanding disk to flatten skis with lots of screw holes and epoxy–speedy but crude. A Stanley Surform blade used without the holder can work, but I've had it pick up and pull chunks out of the top skin. Another method is to use a sharp knife with a smaller blade (Xacto), using a rotating motion to carve the volcano away. Binding Freedom makes tool for clearing the top edge of larger insert holes, perhaps it works for smaller holes as well? Any commenters have a favorite method? I'm always willing to learn new.
I use a very sharp chisel, flat on the ski.
1.5″ paint scraper kept super sharp with a file. Boom.
Chris, no need to shout, I happen to have a few chisels around here. They tend to occasionally rip up a chunk of topskin so I quit using them. Same problem with most other scraper or knife based methods.
BTW, my bias here is a semi-production environment. Not a ski shop, but swapping bindings on quite a few skis over the winter. I want to get those bubbles off fast, with no damage to the ski.
New mounts, I just press the ski specific drill bit down with a bit of pressure and let it trim the top of the hole a tiny bit.
I use scraper sharpener like a wood rasp and file those suckers off. Since they stick out, the sharpener files off only the "volcano" part and doesn't harm the ski itself.
I've used the Binding Freedom tool. A web search for "deburring drill bit" found several sets with a similar cutting arrangement. Smallest diameter was for 1/4″ holes. I believe this would work with a little bit of dexterity.
I grab whatever random free-floating rusty razor blade is on the bench and cut them off. Lou's system looks more OSHA friendly.
Lou, on the subject of binding mounting and re-mounting, did you ever do a post on Gorilla glue vs. a standard waterproof wood-type glue for mounting? DPS still suggests Gorilla glue for mounting their skis, and I was wondering if might actually work better for all skis.
Another option would be using a de-burring tool. I don't have a lot of experience with your ski specific problem but have had a lot of experience with machined plastic parts. Most tools come with multiple blades given some quick experimenting with different geometry blades you should be able to get great results. Very fast as well. Maybe worth a try.
Hi Drew, I do use Gorilla mud on occasion but I've found several problems with it.
1. It really locks up, and can't be easily reversed/softened by heating. I've broken screws that were set with Gorilla saliva.
2. Gorilla droppings expand while curing, which might be good inside the ski but can ooze all over the place.
I use a variety. For quickie mounts I'll need to reverse I use 5-minute epox or ski binding white glue. For "real" mounts I use 1-hour epoxy. And I do throw in a tiny amount of Gorilla excretion if I don't have anything else around, but I use just a tiny bit rather than glomming a bunch into each hole.
Apologies to all gorillas for the attempt at humor.
I luckily have an old countersink that deburrs safely. I used this same countersink for building my ski bench. God forbid I catch Lisa's fashionista pants on an exposed screw head.
Dremel sanding drum on a flex shaft.
Chris, call 911 immediately. You don't have to suffer like this.
Chris, interesting how sticky beer can be, eh?
Mirror-sharp chisels and countersink for me.
All good suggestions. I like using my Ski Visions ski base planer with the high speed steel blade. It'll take down all four in a couple of quick strokes.
Set the ski on a firm flat supported surface, use a hammer and an UPSIDE DOWN center punch, and gently use the slightly rounded head of the center punch to return the volcano back to where it came from.
I use a sharp razor blade from a Stanley knife.
Lou, that skis looks like a DPS Wailer 99 Tour1. Tell tale black hole of Calcutta.
Drew & Lou I mount many pairs of DPS Skis every year and use Gorilla Glue. I wouldn't use 5 minute epoxies if you were wanting a permanent mount. They are generally too brittle and crack then let water in.
I use your soldering iron method to heat the screws and don't generally have any issues screws.
If you drill and tap DPS skis then the fibre's will hold the screws quite well, just make sure whatever glue you use stays flexible and will waterproof the hole.

Sesto in the Alta Pusteria
Your holiday destination in the Dolomites …
Sesto lies at an altitude of 1,310 m/4,298 ft. above sea level and borders on East Tyrol (Austria) to the north. It is the "last", i.e. easternmost town of the South Tyrolean Val Pusteria valley. Sesto is surrounded by a wonderful natural landscape and boasts a spectacular mountain backdrop: the Carnic Alps to the east, the Sesto Dolomites to the south, and the Passo Monte Croce to the north.
The first documental evidence of Sesto's existence dates back to 965. At the time, the town was referred to as "Sexta", which is derived from the Latin word for "six". Later, i.e. during the late Middle Ages, that name was replaced by "Valle Sexta".
Places of interest in Sesto:
the so-called "Sextner Bergsonnenuhr" (mountain sundial), a spectacle of nature consisting of five impressive Dolomite peaks (Cime Nove, Cima Dieci, Cima Undici, Cima Dodici and Cima Uno)
the UNESCO's Natural World Heritage: the Three Peaks of Lavaredo with countless hiking trails and climbing routes …
the so-called "Parco Naturale Tre Cime" (Three Peaks of Lavaredo nature reserve) is a special area in the mountains, and is part of Site. This nature reserve covers an area of 11,635 hectares/28,750 acres and extends over the territories of three communes: San Candido, Sesto, and Dobbiaco.
the Val Fiscalina valley is a small side valley to the south of Sesto. It is famous for its beauty, is located within the Sesto Dolomites nature reserve, and is flanked by some of the peaks which make up Sesto's mountain sundial. The impressive mountain backdrop is yours to enjoy!
the Monte Piano open-air museum offers a stunning 360° panorama. Monte Piana is also a historic site: over 14,000 soldiers died here during World War I
over 160 works by Rudolf Stolz (1874–1960) are exhibited in the Rudolf-Stolz-Museum. With Egger-Lienz, Stolz is regarded as one of the major Tyrolean artists of the first half of the 20th century. His favourite subjects were Madonnas. The work "Totentanz" (dance of death) by the South Tyrolean artist Rudolf Stolz (1874–1960) in Sesto's churchyard is one of Sesto's most popular attractions
reindeer on the Croda Rossa … you can watch reindeer in a somewhat unusual habitat, i.e. that of the Croda Rossa mountain. And in winter you can even enjoy a ride on a reindeer-drawn sled.
More places of interest:
Lienz, the capital of East Tyrol, is just 50 km from Sesto. Lienz is a lovely small town with flair which has some 13,000 inhabitants. The Romans were the first to settle the Lienzer basin where they built Tyrol's only Roman town, Aguntum. During the Middle Ages, the counts of Gorizia established their summer residence in Schloss Bruck. Nowadays, Lienz is a vibrant small town with sheltered alleys and squares, boutiques, a weekly market on Fridays and Saturdays, concerts, and art galleries.

While there are a number of different causes, snoring effects 45 percent of the U.S. population with 25 percent of those labeled as habitual snorers. One in three men and approximately one in five women who are habitual snorers suffer from some degree of Obstructive Sleep Apnea. The impact snoring has on the non-snoring population can be far reaching and can even lead to certain negative health consequences for the poor souls affected by another's snoring.
In fact, snoring is often attributed to serious relationship strains, and can cause many couples to sleep in separate bedrooms.
Snoring occurs when the normal flow of air through the passages between the nose and throat is obstructed, causing air to vibrate across the soft palate and uvula. This vibration can range in volume, with a majority of loud snorers ranging between 60 and 80 decibels, that equates to the volume of a vacuum cleaner or an alarm clock. There's a reason snoring has been called 'sawing logs' because sometimes that is exactly how loud it sounds!
Factors that contribute to snoring include alcohol consumption, smoking, sleeping pills, blocked nasal passages, inflammation of the sinus or tonsils, and excess body weight.
Fortunately, there is something you can do about it! While there are a number of proposed remedies out there, ranging from chemical injections to mouthpiece devices, Liddell™ offers a perfectly safe, side effect free medication: Snore Defense. This advanced spray helps relieve the loudness and frequency of snoring, and promotes a more restful night's sleep, simply by spraying directly under the tongue for immediate absorption into the bloodstream.
In addition, it is recommended that you maintain a healthy body weight, and avoid unhealthy habits such as smoking and excessive alcoholic intake, which increase the incidence of snoring.
All Liddell Laboratories OTC products are fast-acting, and work without negative side effects or drug interactions. Additional conditions treated by Liddell include anxiety, back pain, headaches, joint pain, allergies, nicotine withdrawal, and more.
Liddell's goal is to empower people with the knowledge necessary to achieve better health and to provide no side effect medicines to help people avoid the toxic effects of mainstream pharmaceutical drugs. Learn more about Liddell at www.liddell.net.
