Jarboe on Flying Lotus's Album "Your Dead!"
by Jarboe| December 11, 2020
The best music opens our hearts and minds. Jarboe on how Flying Lotus lyrically and sonically explores liberation.
Photo by Timothy Saccenti
You're Dead! is a bold, compositionally complex album that could be described as a personal reflection on the Bardo Thodol, known in the West as The Tibetan Book of the Dead. This 2014 album by Flying Lotus (born Steven Ellison) serves as a musical guide through the experience of phenomena in the bardo, the state of existence between death and rebirth in Himalayan Buddhism.
Death on the album is explored as a crossing; it is the alchemy of dissolution leading to transmutation. With songs such as "Moment of Hesitation," "Descent into Madness," "Your Potential // The Beyond," this crossing is at turns a peaceful one with sounds of calming and introspective awareness, then abruptly one of hallucinatory visions of chaos and violently surreal dissonance.
"Hyper prophesied meditation" is a phrase from the song entitled "Never Catch Me," which lyrically and sonically explores the concept of liberation. Throughout the album, luminosity is expressed sonically with a sense of joyous fascination and audible exhilaration. Flying Lotus conveys the freeing of consciousness by using different genres, an unrestrained psychedelic hybrid of electronic, avant-jazz, fusion, and hip-hop.
You're Dead!—listened to from beginning to end in its entirety—is an effective and provocative work. In an edgy, fresh language, the artist conveys his spiritual searching and stated inspiration: "Our spirits live forever."
My personal enjoyment of this album is intensified by listening while seated in lotus position.

About Little League® International Regional Roundtables
Every four years, Little League's highest-level volunteers, District Administrators (D.A.s) and Assistant District Administrators (A.D.A.s), are invited to attend a two-day Regional Roundtable meeting at various locations throughout each of Little League's five U.S. Regions. The agenda for each Regional Roundtable, which will include educational sessions as well as rules and regulations discussions, will be assembled from a survey to be completed by D.A.s and A.D.A.s in each region. The Regional Roundtable meetings are conducted by members of the Little League Regional and International Staff.
As in previous years, D.A.s, or the approved alternate, will receive financial support to help offset other travel-related. All details regarding attending Regional Roundtables, including reimbursement and registration information, will be announced at a later date. If unable to attend the Regional Roundtable, the D.A. is asked to designate an alternate from your district staff as your District's representative by forwarding a request to Patrick Wilson, Senior Vice President of Operations and Program Development, requesting the respective individual be recognized as the designated alternate. As a reminder, attendance at in person trainings, including Regional Roundtable, is a requirement of the D.A. Standards for Exceptional Leadership and Volunteer Service.
A key component to the meeting is to have each of the D.A.s review and discuss suggested rule and regulation changes with their regional peers. This discussion is necessary to gain the knowledge of how the rule or regulation would impact constituent leagues.
About Little League® International Congress
Little League® has pioneered a unique forum for field leaders to give voice and authoritative sanction to representation. This forum is the Little League International Congress, first launched in 1956. The purpose of the International Congress is to chart the course of the world's largest organized youth baseball and softball program. More than a thousand Little League volunteers from around the globe attend the Little League International Congress, held once every four years.
Nearly 450 of those attending are volunteer District Administrators, or delegates, who serve as liaisons between the local leagues and Little League International. District Administrators are elected by their constituent leagues to provide support, and to represent their interests as delegates to the International Congress. The primary purpose of the Congress is to amend rules and regulations.
The delegates, and their assistant district administrators, meet in round table discussions, making any necessary changes in the proposed amendments, then vote on the changes on the final day of the Congress. A two-thirds vote is required for passage. Those amendments receiving the necessary vote are then presented to the International Board of Directors for final approval.

Fashion, Trends
'Dopamine Dressing', a style trend dominating 2022
Heidi Shara
The way we dress in 2022 will reflect our need to escape from the pandemic years, express ourselves and finally embrace our new normal...
It feels like the past few years have all been one massive blur and now that 2022 has arrived, we're all hoping for that light at the end of the tunnel, a glimpse of freedom! This year is about self-care, looking and feeling the best version of ourselves, so let us take the same approach towards our wardrobes this year and embrace the return of self-expression. Many people are comparing 2022 to that of the roaring 20's, post the great depression. We have all been locked up at home, anxious for the last couple of years, getting some good wear out of our pj's and this year is the year we all break free.
A time of "escapism" and style this year will be reflected through the use of bold patterns, colours and cuts of fabrics. Style will be defined by something called "dopamine dressing" – wear what makes you feel good, powerful and sparks joy! People will shake things up and wear items that they may never have worn otherwise, just because they can. This is what 2022 is all about, and it is exhilarating!
To sum up style trends for 2022 – less is more and more is more. People are wearing less, (bra tops, miniskirts, cut-outs), but at the same time, will wear and enjoy the beauty of voluminous and oversized cuts, encouraging a go-big or go-home philosophy. Although we say goodbye to some of those sweatpants, comfort remains important this year, with us still rocking those baggy jeans and wide-leg pants for more casual looks that are so easy to dress up or down. For those fierce working ladies out there, the usual work attire can be so boring and monotonous. If you are looking for something office appropriate but still fun and sexy, bold and colourful power suits will hit work attire by storm!
Netflix has helped with much inspiration when it comes to fashion and styling trends taken from Bridgerton, Emily in Paris, Euphoria, the new Sex and the City, Gossip Girl and more. Now we are doing something with that inspiration – at least laying on the couch for all those months taught us something.
At Wear That, we help women express themselves in whichever way helps them look and feel beautiful, bold, and empowered. It is only natural that when we look good, we feel good and when we feel good, we are limitless! We will carry these trends and so much more and are ready to help the women of the UAE make 2022 their most stylish year yet.
Whether it's because we are looking for ways to feel good, or because we are actually feeling good, the way we dress in 2022 will reflect our need to escape from the pandemic years, express ourselves and finally embrace our new normal.

THPBlog: Fruit Growers Supply Company to log near the Thousand Lakes Wilderness Area.
Fruit Growers Supply Company to log near the Thousand Lakes Wilderness Area.
THP 2-13-089 SHA (Trailhead THP) Fruit Growers Supply Company, 679 acres; 47% sanitation salvage, 27% shelterwood, 25% clearcut, 2% meadow & aspen restoration. Thousand Lakes Valley (MD: T33N R4E Sec.14, 15, 16, 23). Winter operations, low erosion hazard, slopes up to 30%, oversized units, seasonal wet meadows, thousand lakes wilderness area, 1 CA spotted owl within 1.3mi, goshawk sighting, scattered large trees. Estimated public comment deadline: 12/18/13.
This THP is about 4 miles NW of Old Station, CA and Highway 89 at an elevation of 4,500 to 6,100 feet. Fruit Growers Supply Company is planning a tractor based logging operation in ponderosa pine, sugar pine, white fir, lodgepole pine and incense cedar forests. The THP is named "Trailhead THP" because it is adjacent to the Tamarack Trailhead for the Thousand Lakes Wilderness Area in section 16. This area is a popular destination for backpackers and day hikers, and is also close to the Cypress roadless area. Fruit Growers Supply Company is proposing 184 acres of an alternative prescription which allows for the removal of the largest trees within the stand, and targeted sanitation salvage of individual trees that are growing slowly or showing signs of insects or disease (such conditions are not abnormal at higher elevations). Heavy equipment is also planned for use in seasonally wet meadows to cut encroaching conifers in 2 aspen stands, and 1 meadow area. There is 1 CA spotted owl territory nearby, and an historic (1996) goshawk nesting territory just south of the THP area on USFS land. More information is available on the THP Tracking Center website.


We all love our makeup, however, there are times when you look at your make up brushes and cringe or grimace.
Yes… its that time again….
Personally, I just don't have the money to spend on expensive brush cleansers, and all manner of other cleaning agents. Even when I used them, I always found some kind of residue left behind.
So when I came across an inexpensive way to clean my make up brushes, I thought it would be something great to share with you.
All you need is 1 cup of hot water & 1 tablespoon of vinegar.
Soak your brushes in the above for 20 minutes and then follow with a hot water then cold water rinse and let dry as normal.
Easy, inexpensive and your brushes will be clean, with no residue left behind.
Have you got any make up brush cleaning hacks to share?
Comment below and let us know 😉!
Graded Hasan by Shaykh Al-Albani(May Allah have mercy upon him) in Saheeh Adab Al-Mufrad.
Shaykh Hussain Awayaasha(may Allah preserve him )said in his explanation of Saheeh Adab Al-Mufrad.
"His dua was answered on Wednesday between the prayers of Dhuhr and Asr".
Shaykh Al-Albani commented on this saying: If this companion wouldn't have narrated to us that the Prophet(صلى الله عليه وسلم ) made Dua to Allah during this hour we wouldn't have known. The person present witnesses what the absent person doesn't. This ahadeeth has significant meaning; since Jabir رضي الله عنه narrated the information when exactly his dua was answered. And this shows that the Dua for the Messenger(صلى الله عليه وسلم )was answered at that hour during Wednesday. Consequently Jabir رضي ألله عنه began to do the same thing (emulation ) he saw Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم ) do on Wednesday between Dhuhr and Asr.

Gaja claims over 20 lives in TN, CM to visit flood-hit areas, announces Rs 10 lakh to dead
By Chennaivision in Chennai News November 17, 2018
Cyclone Gaja, which turned into a severe cyclonic storm on Thursday, made landfall between Nagapattinam and Vedaranyam in the early hours of Friday. According to official estimates 22 people have lost their lives due to the cyclone.
Gaja crossed the coast between Nagapattinam and nearby Vedaranyam, bringing with it heavy rain, and causing severe damage to communication and power infrastructure, mainly in Nagapattinam district.
Speaking to reporters at Salem, Chief Minister K Palaniswami said the relief work will be taken up on a war-footing and that the work was already underway. He said the families of the deceased will be provided a solatium of Rs 10 lakh each from the Chief Minister's Public Relief Fund (CMPRF).
DMK president M K Stalin, who is also the leader of the Opposition, said in a tweet: "The way the @tnsdma (Tamil Nadu State Disaster Management Authority) took preparatory efforts (to tackle the cyclone) is praiseworthy.
The CM said the families of the deceased will be provided with a solatium of Rs 10 lakh each from the Chief Minister's Public Relief Fund (CMPRF). Those with severe injuries will be provided with Rs 1 lakh each while people who had sustained simple injuries will get Rs 25,000 as a relief, he added.

DAILY 星, つ星 SUNDAY: David 別荘, ヴィラ has revealed that Fernando Torres feels let down によって Liverpool and will quit Anfield for Chelsea 次 season if the Kop fail to get a Champions League spot. Also: Inter hitman Samuel Eto'o reckons Manchester City's £25 million target Mario Balotelli could become an all-time great - if he can control his temper.
Torres took his tally of league goals to 24 によって clinching a 2-0 win at Tottenham, edging ahead of Ruud バン Nistelrooy's record for goals scored によって a foreigner in a rookie season.
Benitez bought 'El Nino' for もっと見る than £20million from Atletico Madrid last summer, which appears a bargain for what the Spain striker has delivered.
"Always when あなた sign a player あなた do not know if he will settle down and how he will do in the Premier League, but Torres is a young player who is hungry and wanted to do well," Benitez said.
"Sometimes あなた sign a player for a free transfer and people say he is bad signing.
"Then other times あなた can sign a player for a lot of money and he does well and everyone is happy, so lucky for us he is a good signing.
Fernando Torres set a new record for goals scored によって a foreign player in a debut Premier League campaign as he helped Liverpool to a 2-0 victory over Tottenham at White Hart Lane.
Two goals in five 秒 half 分 from strikers Andrei Voronin and Torres, who broke former Manchester United フォワード, 前進, 楽しみにして Ruud バン Nistelrooy's 23-goal tally, secured a comfortable win for Liverpool in a classic end of season affair.
Liverpool had dominated possession in the first half without truly threatening Radek Cerny in the ホーム goal, but after the break Steven Gerrard began to pull the strings and Voronin prodded the visitors in front after 表示中 good strength to latch on to a 69th 分 flick from Torres.
Fernando Torres yesterday equalled a 46 年 old record of a Liverpool player scoring in eight consecutive games at Anfield. The only other player to have done that was the Anfield legend Roger Hunt in 1962.
Torres also equalled the record amount of goals scored in the Premiership in a debut season, previously held によって Ruud バン Nistelroy when he first joined Man Utd.
"It is hard in your first season but it has been made easier によって the support I get and によって the team-mates around me."
The goal was the decisive one in the1-0 win over Man City but the ホーム side were completely dominant and could have scored a hatful as City seemed lethargic and unimaginitive. Gerrard, Kuyt and Babel were all inches away from extending the lead.
Peter Crouch and John Arnie Riise were not even in the squad, which just increased the speculation that they will not be staying at Anfield 次 season.
Rafael Benitez, the Liverpool manager, has described Fernando Torres's first season in England as "amazing", however he was warned the Spaniard that he will find life tougher 次 season.
Torres continued his spectacular form によって scoring the only goal of the game as Liverpool beat Manchester City in their final ホーム game of the season on Sunday - to equal Sir Roger Hunt's record of scoring in eight successive ホーム matches. The former Athletico Madrid フォワード, 前進, 楽しみにして has now scored 32 goals since his summer 移動する from La Liga, and while Benitez has been thrilled によって Torres's progress he has warned him not to expect an easy ride come August. .
"Fernando has been amazing, and he has reached that total without any penalties," Benitez said. "Clearly it will be もっと見る difficult for Torres 次 season, defenders will have watched him and will work on stopping him. But he can improve even from this. He has a strong mentality and he can cope with what defenders do. It will not be easy to score this many goals again, obviously it will be もっと見る difficult for him.
Torres scored the winner today as the Anfield side battled to a 1-0 win over Manchester City and the Spaniard believes that もっと見る consistent League success is a possibility in the 次 campaign.
Initial concerns regarding the fitness of Liverpool striker Fernando Torres will be assuaged によって the news that the 24-year-old is not undergoing treatment today after his substitution in last night's Champions League semi-final.
There was notable anxiety at Stamford Bridge among Liverpool coaching staff and ファン alike last night when Torres, who had scored in the 65th 分 to put Liverpool back on equal terms with Chelsea, was replaced によって Ryan Babel with 20 分 of extra time still to play.
Rafael Benitez 発言しました afterwards that he was forced to substitute his front-man because the Spaniard had felt a strain in his hamstring. "Torres was injured and had problems with his hamstring so I needed to change it in extra-time," he explained.
However, after enquiries today, it seems that while initial worries may well have been well-founded, Torres is spending his rest 日 as normal, and apparently having no urgent medical treatment.
Fernando Torres feels it is too early for Liverpool ファン to be comparing him to club greats of yesteryear Robbie Fowler and Kenny Dalglish.
Torres has taken Anfield によって storm this term and has もっと見る than justified the £21 million Rafa Benitez shelled out to lure him from Atletico Madrid in the summer.
Liverpool strikers have been in the shadow of Robbie Fowler and Michael Owen in 最近 seasons, but Torres' haul of 22 league goals has thrust him into the spotlight.
"This is only my first season at Liverpool and I want to play better for many もっと見る seasons yet. So far I've had one good season but Kenny and Robbie have had six, seven, eight または ten good seasons at Liverpool. It's different.
Torres has scored 30 goals to 日付 and wants to make it 31 in tomorrow's first leg at Anfield, when he espects another emotional evening, much like the night when Liverpool beat Arsenal in a compelling quarter-final.
"I scored my first important Liverpool goal against Chelsea and I want to do it again on Tuesday," 発言しました Torres.
LIVERPOOL (Reuters) - Fernando Torres is key to Liverpool's chances of beating Chelsea and reaching a third Champions League final in four seasons, manager Rafael Benitez 発言しました on Monday.
Liverpool scored just two goals in their 前 semi-final victories over Chelsea in 2005 and 2007, but their manager now possesses a clinical scorer in Spain striker Torres who will lead the attack in Tuesday's first leg at Anfield.
"The players know that sometimes あなた are not playing well and maybe あなた will score because of a player like Torres.
Benitez, who will have captain Steven Gerrard fit again after missing Saturday's win at Fulham with a neck problem, is predicting another tight game and will be happy to take a clean sheet from the ホーム tie.
Torres will break バン Nistlerooy's Record!
短剣, ダーク, ディルク Kuyt has no doubt that fellow Liverpool striker Fernando Torres will break Ruud バン Nistelrooy's record of 23 goals in a first Premier League season.
Ex-Manchester United striker バン Nistelrooy managed 23 goals in his first campaign in England in 2001/02.
"We still have a few games to go and with Fernando on 火災, 火 as he has been I see no reason why he won't reach that target and beat the record.
Torres, 24, has also claimed Chelsea's season will be decided によって their players and not the manager. He said: "If they win the Champions League, nobody will remember Mourinho.
At the end the player decides the system and decides if あなた are a strong team."
Torres also believes the Reds' experience in ヨーロッパ will prove crucial, even though for the first time the first leg will be at Anfield.
"You can't tell whether it's better to be at ホーム first または not. It would be better if we don't concede a goal."
"I watch Ronaldo every weekend and he is massively impressive," 発言しました Torres.
"Barca have no idea how spectacular Ronaldo is または how far ahead of every other player in the world he is right now.
Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez must decide whether to risk his 星, つ星 striker Fernando Torres at Fulham on Saturday.
Torres is one goal away from equalling the record for most goals scored によって an overseas player in his debut Premier League season but Benitez is considering resting a host of players ahead of 次 week's Champions League semi-final.
"We will think about Chelsea but for us to be in the 上, ページのトップへ four is really important, and we will have enough energy to play against Chelsea on Tuesday," 発言しました Benitez. "Sometimes it's not easy for players to concentrate with a Champions League semi-final so near, but they know how important it is to finish in the 上, ページのトップへ four so hopefully they will be focused."
Liverpool must repay £31.5 million to banking institutions in little もっと見る than a 年 または risk having to sell Fernando Torres and Ryan Babel.
The Times has learnt that Liverpool borrowed the money to sign Torres, the Spain フォワード, 前進, 楽しみにして who has scored 30 goals this season and has already become a firm favourite on the Kop, from Atlético Madrid last summer. The club then refinanced that debt on January 25, at the same time as they secured a £350 million refinancing package.
Liverpool entered into an 18-month loan agreement with interest of 9 per cent — £2.8 million a 年 — with a letter of credit to pay back the £31.5 million at the end of the period.
Should Liverpool be unable to pay back または refinance the loan, banks could force the sale of Torres and Babel, who was also included in the smaller refinancing package.
It is unusual for Barclays Premier League クラブ to buy players in this way. Deals are normally funded using テレビ income. Liverpool have to pay £30 million a 年 in interest payments on the £350 million loan, the terms of which end in July 2009. There was no official コメント from the club last night.
Using his newfound experience of the English leagues, the young フォワード, 前進, 楽しみにして has now told Barcelona to watch out for Cristiano Ronaldo in particular.
The buildup to this game was dominated によって the very public fallout in the Liverpool boardroom. Reds manager Rafa Benitez, who made three changes from the midweek Champions League victory over Arsenal, had to do without the suspended Javier Mascherano, while Daniel Agger, Harry Kewell and Jermaine Pennant were all injured.
There was a 分 silence before the game to mark the nineteenth anniversary of the Hillsborough Disaster, when 96 Liverpool ファン ロスト their lives during a tragic human crush.
Fabio Aurelio then wasted a chance to test Brad Friedel, slicing the ball off-target after good work from 短剣, ダーク, ディルク Kuyt.
Liverpool フォワード, 前進, 楽しみにして Fernando Torres has backed coach Rafael Benitez to remain at the club "for a long time".
The fact that they have both been nominated for PFA player of the 年 speaks volumes about what a wonderful season they have both had and everyone connected with Liverpool should be delighted to have them.
The PFA awards are the most prestigious in this country as far as the players are concerned because they are voted for によって your peers in the game.
"El Nino" has set the Premiership alight since signing from Atletico Madrid last summer for a club-record £23m fee, but the money seems to have been well spent as the striker has already scored 30 in all competitions is well placed to beat Ruud バン Nistelrooy's record of 23 goals scored in his first Premier League season.
"For me, Fernando is probably the stand out striker in world football and I'm just delighted that he's in a Liverpool shirt," 発言しました Carragher, who certainly knows a thing または two about what makes a world-class striker.
"To get 30 goals in your first season is a fantastic achievement and hopefully he can go on and get a few もっと見る goals this season.
"People 発言しました he didn't have his best game against Blackburn but he scored another important goal and that's his job," he added.
Carragher went on to echo his boss's calls for full focus on the 次 match against Fulham, despite the fact that the first-leg of the Champions League clash with Chelsea is looming large.
El Nino insists that it would be one of the best finals as well as one of the most open 与えられた the two styles of football between both sides.
It would almost be an all Spanish final if Liverpool faced Barcelona 与えられた the fact that the Reds from Merseyside have a Spanish manager as well as several players from Iberia.
"I would 愛 to see a Barcelona – Liverpool final," Torres told Marca.
"As for Liverpool, the ファン are obsessed with winning the league もっと見る than the Champions League.
Liverpool clash with Chelsea in the other Champions League semi final and the winners will get to player either Barcelona または Manchester United in the Moscow final in May.

As the tired chatter draws to a close, restless teens squirmed on the hard blue chairs, waiting to go home, but riveted by the voice of the figure standing on the award ceremony stage. Then, a name was announced, a pair of wide eyes turned into joy, and Heidi Jackson '19 climbed up to the stage as cheers erupted from the rest of the Westwood Model United Nations (Model UN) team.
Last week, a standard Model UN meet at LASA turned into a day of celebration as Jackson was awarded the prestigious Honorable Delegate award. Model UN, unlike most school events, isn't competitive, and there is never a first place prize to strive for. Instead, the meetings focus on the peacekeeping values of the actual UN, such as compromising. Because of the driving nature behind these events, the ability to diplomatically create a solution is what's measured as an award, making it harder for students to get recognized in the first place. The determination it takes to create a valuable solution for everyone takes much more energy than forcing a solution which only benefits oneself, which is why Jackson's award is so prestigious.
Although learning about peacekeeping tactics is an important part of Model UN, the main importance lies in becoming aware of various cultures. When students have to go to a meet, they represent a particular country. Countless hours of research and observation go into these meets, until the teams know their country's culture, politics, and everything else that makes it unique. The education that Model UN creates allows the students to see through the prejudices created by ignorance and hate.
The overall benefits for Model UN, such as research skills and experience, are what attracted Jackson in the first place. For her, Model UN values such as thinking about other perspectives and caring for others appeal to her goals as an IB student.
Along with the Honorable Delegate award, Model UN awards the Distinguishable and Best Delegate awards measuring different aspects of public speaking and awareness of the discussed issue. Jackson represented Australia in the United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP) in the argument about advanced biofuels. Discussing both the commercial gain and the environmental harms, Jackson was able to present her country in a way that was both demanding, yet respectful. Due to her negotiation of compromises between poorer countries and those who have been affected by climate change, she was able to attract the attention of the suits watching the meet.
