The mother of a 24-year-old good Samaritan killed in a chain-collision involving six vehicles on the San Gabriel River (605) Freeway in Cerritos in 2017 is suing two drivers involved in the incident, including one who was allegedly drunk at the time.
Alba Trujillo, the mother of the late Gabriela Hernandez-Trujillo of Huntington Beach, filed the lawsuit Wednesday in Los Angeles Superior Court against Amy Michelle Johnson of Long Beach and Ulises Zavala Rodriguez.
The suit alleges wrongful death, negligence and battery. The suit seeks unspecified damages.
The crash occurred about 2:50 a.m. March 11, 2017, on the southbound lanes of the 605 Freeway, just north of the Artesia (910) Freeway, the California Highway Patrol said at the time.
The chain of events started when Mario Antonio Hernandez-Ayala, the driver of a 1999 Saturn, crashed into another vehicle, the suit states. Hernandez-Ayala also died of his injuries.
Hernandez-Trujillo was a passenger in another car involved in the crashes that was driven by Rodriguez, the suit states. After getting out of the car in which she was riding so she could check on the condition of Hernandez-Ayala and offer her assistance, Hernandez-Trujillo realized that it was too late to help him, the suit states.
While walking back to the car in which she had been a passenger, Hernandez-Trujillo was struck by another car driven by an intoxicated Johnson, the suit states. Hernandez-Trujillo died later at a hospital. The plaintiff, who like her daughter and Rodriguez also lives in Huntington Beach, alleges he was driving negligently at the time of the collisions. The freeway was temporarily closed in both directions.

First Milky Ways found at edge of universe
A multiracial society with segregated schools
Astronomers can look back in time
One key question that has puzzled astronomers for decades is: When did the first stars and galaxies form after the Big Bang occurred? The answer — very quickly! Astronomers Rennan Barkana of Tel Aviv University and Avi Loeb of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics found the first direct evidence that galaxies as large as the Milky Way already had formed when the Universe was less than a billion years old. "In some ways, it's surprising that such large galaxies formed so quickly. Most galaxies in the early Universe were only one-hundredth that size," said Loeb. "But our model, combined with observations by other researchers, provides clear evidence that massive galaxies existed within a relatively short time after the Big Bang." Intriguingly, the large galaxies discovered by Barkana and Loeb are still around today. Over billions of years, they continued to consume smaller galaxies, like a cosmic software corporation absorbing many smaller companies. These galactic cannibals have grown from the seeds that existed in a billion-year-old Universe to become monstrous giant elliptical galaxies, resting in the centers of galaxy clusters. The research was reported in the Jan. 23, 2003 issue of the journal Nature.

Q: Making open file descriptor limit unlimited in Debian I am doing a perf test of one of my API. After some time I keep getting the error Too many open file. Once I increase the number of open file descriptor (ulimit -Hn, ulimit -Sn & cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max) then the request / sec my API can server increases. But then again the too many open file descriptor error comes.
Can someone let me know if it is possible to set the open file descriptor limit to unlimited so that I don't want to increase the value every time and just know what is the breaking limit of the API assuming I have sufficient file descriptor.
I am using Debian 8.

A: To set unlimited: ulimit -u unlimited

CRISTIANO RONALDO will not get his Champions League red card rescinded, according to Craig Burley.
Ronaldo saw red in Juventus' 2-0 win over Valencia last night and faces a two-game ban.
That means he will miss the trip to Old Trafford to face his old club Manchester United.
And Burley thinks the nature of the incident means UEFA won't rescind it.
"There didn't seem enough in it for me at all," Burley said on ESPN.
"But I think what will happen here is I don't think UEFA will rescind it.
Cristiano Ronaldo was sent off for an altercation with Valencia defender Jeison Murillo with suggestions he pulled his hair.
And Burley thinks VAR would have cleared the five-time Ballon d'Or winner.
When Burley was asked if he thought it was even a yellow card, and said: "I don't think so.
"I don't think they will budge on it because they will back their referees.
"I mean what we've got here is Europe's elite competition and the World Cup was a great success with VAR, big pressure, we've got most of the leagues in Europe with VAR and here we've got the elite of the elite and we're relying on a couple of extra officials with their sticks behind the goal.

Is The Verdansk Dam Returning To Warzone?
The return of the dam?!
By Jon Nicholson
Season 4 of Warzone is right around the corner and as players prepare for another season of post-launch content, several have spotted a particular point of interest that was removed from Verdansk at the start of Season 3.
Season 3 saw the launch of a re-skinned version of the Warzone map set in 1984 with new points of interest, a brighter palette of colour, and a new pool of ground loot.
The changes have been met with widespread positivity, but many are confused as to why this particular POI could be returning to the map. While it may not have been a popular landing spot, many matches often concluded in this area of the map.
Find out whether the Dam will be making a return to Warzone and what impact it may have in this article.

Warzone Dam Returning In Season 4
Despite no official confirmation from Raven Software, it is very easy to spot the Dam in the Season 4 trailer as a number of satellites begin to fall onto Verdansk.
The Dam can be seen in the background
It is unclear as to why the Dam appeared in the Season 4 trailer considering it hasn't been seen since modern-day Verdansk was destroyed by the launch of a nuclear missile.
Perhaps it has been added back into the battle royale to signify that some time has passed since Warzone was transported back into 1984.
With Adler being held captive by Stitch, there is every possibility that several years may have passed.
Should It Return?
With Summit now the main point of interest in the northern half of the map, the potential return of the Dam could spark a change when it comes to the best places to land.
Many players opt to land around the central areas of Verdansk thanks to their popularity providing plenty of potentail to score several kills in the opening stages of a match but if the Dam appears again, many may begin landing at the top half of the map to avoid a premature trip to the Gulag.
In my opinion, the Dam should return to Warzone. There are a number of empty spaces on Verdansk '84 and with another place to land giving even more options for players. Whether it becomes a popular POI is another question but Raven Software wouldn't re-introduce an old area of the map for no reason.

The University of Alabama hosted its annual Pro Day on Wednesday afternoon with 17 draft-eligible Crimson Tide athletes participating in front of 75 scouts representing all 32 NFL teams.
There were also numerous general managers and head coaches in attendance at today's event. The list was highlighted by New England Patriots head coach and general manager Bill Belichick, Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll, New York Jets head coach Todd Bowles and Pittsburgh Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert.
"These players have done a fantastic job for us over the three or four years that they've been here," said Alabama head coach Nick Saban. "(Pro Day) benefits them and our program when they do extremely well in times like these so that they get the opportunity to play at the next level and get drafted as high as possible. We're hopeful that each one of those guys will be able to represent themselves in a way that will allow them to do that."
Draft-eligible players that participated in the day's events included: Jonathan Allen, Ryan Anderson, Dakota Ball, Gehrig Dieter, Reuben Foster, Brandon Greene, Adam Griffith, O.J. Howard, Marlon Humphrey, Eddie Jackson, Korren Kirven, Cole Mazza, Brandon Moore, Cam Robinson, ArDarius Stewart, Dalvin Tomlinson and Tim Williams.
The day began at 11 a.m. CT with heights, weights and measurements in the weight room. The players then followed with vertical and broad jumps, along with bench press for those who chose to participate in the particular tests. The Crimson Tide athletes then moved to the Hank Crisp Indoor Facility to test in the 40-yard dash, agility drills and position-specific drills for each respective player.
The 2017 NFL Draft will run from April 27 through April 29 and will take place at the Philadelphia Museum of Art in Philadelphia, Pa.

Kelly Campbell
The heartland's Republican hopeful
Leadership takes many forms in public office. One of the most difficult challenges is standing up for what you believe in when faced with relentless public attacks. Scott Walker faced that test and passed it with flying colors.
His battle to bring fairness to the taxpayers through commonsense reform of the public-sector collective-bargaining laws brought him scorn from the special interests and a recall election. Despite these threats, he stood tall. His reforms have brought tax reductions to his citizens and economic growth to his state. They have allowed public workers the freedom to choose whether to belong to a union. They have made Wisconsin a better place to live and work.
His reward? A resounding "re-election" in 2012 after the failed recall, prosperity for his state and the satisfaction of knowing that the public does recognize and appreciate an officeholder with the courage of his convictions. Governor Scott Walker is one of those leaders.

Struggling to pick the perfect white paint color? You're not alone! Since white is the most reflective color out there, it's also one of the most trickiest to nail. Here's 5 of my favorite white paint colors WITH photos of spaces I used them in AND recommendations of colors to pair them with! You've got this!
This commercial office for Fuchsia Design and Fox Consulting Group went from 70's drab to 2018 fab! With pops of cobalt, citron, and fuchsia mixed with warm woods and contemporary lines - this space goes to show that no office space is too far gone.
This Grand Rapids master suite renovation took a 'builder-basic' space to a luxurious retreat for a busy couple! It highlights rustic features mixed with eclectic details.
This past summer, Michigan Home and Lifestyle Magazine approached me and asked if I would be interested in being their Guest Designer for the 2018 spring issue. This publication releases 4 issues each year, and with each one they select a designer from Michigan to write an article of their choosing and be featured in the magazine. Of course I excitedly agreed, and the day is finally here that I get to share it with you!
Ready for the FINAL lake house blog post?! It's bedroom reveal day for the 4 bedrooms on the second level.
Lake House - Foyer and Kids Room and Laundry, Oh My!
Today's blog post is all the miscellaneous spaces in the lake house. But – that doesn't mean they're not gorgeous rooms worth seeing! We're going to be taking a look at the foyer, second level hallways, kids area, laundry room, mudroom, and first level bathroom!
This is the craft room of all craft rooms. During an initial conversation with the client, she said that she liked light and bright with pops of pink. Let's be honest, all my brain heard was pops of pink, and then I blacked out a little. Say no more! As a business owner with three kids, the client wanted a space where she could get some work done when she's not at the office; a 'no kid zone' retreat. Not only does it have more cabinetry than the kitchen, it has ribbon dowels, wrapping paper storage, cardstock paper slots for every color, a sink, a crafting island with stools, a seating area, a desk, a television, and more storage than I could ever dream of in my own home.
I love, love, love this master suite. As I previously mentioned, my client's design taste is light and airy with a hint of glitz, but her husband has a more rustic and natural design style. While some spaces in the home lean a little more towards here taste, it was important to me to marry the two styles inside the master suite. I think this space is the perfect harmony of the two.
The lakehouse kitchen is right off of the open concept great room and dining room on the third level of this home. Yes, you read that correct – the kitchen is on the THIRD level. The floor plan is unique because while the house is set into a dune, the first two levels have dune views and the third level has a view of Lake Michigan. So, all of the key spaces like the great room, dining room, kitchen, and master suite are up on the third level.
I know I've shared a few photos of the project I've been referring to as 'the lakehouse', but I consider this to be the first big glimpse into the heart of the home which has consumed a better portion of my design commitment for the past 15 months.


Don't like that at all, its like something you'll here in a pub, you know the bands that go from pub to pub? Thats just my personal opinion. I do like some rock the not the majority. I tend to like the lighter side of rock like queen, bon jovi ect. But to be honest I never choose to listen to it myself, but if it comes of the radio i'll leave it on if I like it.
I'm like my pop, dance still and probably always will do.
Anyway, I don't really have a genre that I love every song in it. I like what I like, whether that be Pop, Dance, Rick, rap etc. If I think its good then i'll listen to it. Hate the beatles too, but people when I was at school raved about them. Think they were trying to be different, I actually cant' stand the beatles.
I'm basically the same as there a lot of pop, funky wee tunes that I enjoy but my main enjoyment musically comes from Rock.
PS....never heard of Rick ? Typo ?
Queens of the Stoneage float my boat.
Aye, I've heard one or two tracks by them and they are excellent.
This guy ain't too shabby either.
These guys are top drawer.
Recognised by many as one of the finest guitar solos ever.
Great band a tremendous solo. I was at a gig they played in Glasgow around 1975/76. That was the original band. This is them playing the same track live on my favourite music show in them thar years.....here we go.....Ronnie Van Zant on vocals sadly missed.
Seen these guys in Pittsburgh on the At Anger tour.
Seriously, seriously good outfit although a little conceited.
St Anger....one of my favourite tracks. The official video was filmed at an American prison (St Quinten possibly ?). check it out if you haven't seen it.
Yes. I had an original St Anger tour tee shirt in brown. There were not many of those about in this country!
Alas it has seen better days.
Also seen them over here at Monsters of Rock Castle Donnington and Milton Keynes Bowl.
They opened up to some spaghetti western music and then just unleashed.
Dunno if it is Rock or not, but we have tickets to see Jeff Lynne's ELO in Birmingham this October.
I like a wide range of music, and judge every tune i hear individually. Mainly tho it's rock or reggae for me. Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and AC-DC, being among my favourites, also love the Stones and The Who, and the Black Crowes who never got the success their music deserved, amongst many others.Strangely in the summer i listen more to reggae, Bob Marley, UB40, Lucky Dube being the main choice.
If you are ever lucky enough to experience staying at Sandals Montego Bay, the BBQ's they do on the white sandy beach, the reggae music playing against the backdrop of the Caribbean sea, reggae will stay with you forever, it proper gets into your soul.
Reggae has never done anything for me....just cannot like it. Can't explain it...christ, I even like 'some' rap.
this is one of my all time favs...Remember Woodstock' 1969 ? What a voice Grace Slick had..
Just ordered Edward the Great.

Star Wars: Battlefront II
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Writer Details How Rey Represents Both Luke and Leia
By Patrick Cavanaugh - January 10, 2020 03:17 pm EST
The Star Wars trilogy has ways of echoing itself, with Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker co-writer Chris Terrio pointing out the ways in which Rey's trajectory found a way to symbolically reflect the journeys of both Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa. While Star Wars: The Force Awakens was chided by some fans for being too similar to Star Wars: A New Hope, Star Wars: The Last Jedi managed to circumvent a number of expectations, as The Rise of Skywalker managed to offer closure to audiences as the Skywalker Saga came to an end. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is in theaters now.
"We think of Star Wars as a fairytale. Two twins: one is sent off to be a farmer and one is sent off to be a princess. Rey is kind of both," Terrio revealed to GQ. "She becomes a junk trader on Jakku but she's also royalty. She's the descendant of the Emperor, she's essentially a princess of the Dark Side. This goes back to so many stories. Moses, for example, was a commoner raised as a prince. The whole concept is really mythologically strong to us. She's inherited this power but ultimately chooses to transform her lineage and decides her ancestors are the Jedi, basically. In fact, you can hear it near the end when you hear all the Jedi voices. One of them says, 'We are your ancestors now.'"
While the various reveals of The Rise of Skywalker might not have appeased all fans, the overall nine-episode Skywalker saga hasn't been known to pave new ground with its storytelling. Between Anakin Skywalker, Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, Rey "Skywalker," and Ben Solo, there have been a number of character developments that have been repeated over the course of the series' 42-year development. The various evolutions of the characters might not satisfy all audiences, but they all serve series creator George Lucas' notion that the films are meant to illustrate to young viewers the differences between right and wrong.
"It's a film for 12-year olds," Lucas shared at Star Wars Celebration in 2017. "This is what we stand for. You're about to enter the real world. You're moving away from your parents. You're probably scared, you don't know what's going to happen. Here's what you should pay attention to: friendships, honesty, trust, doing the right thing. Living on the Light Side, avoiding the Dark Side."
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is in theaters now.

Durham University | New Themes & Ideas in Studies of Iberian & Latin American Art & Visual Culture
July 6, 2021 @ 3:30 am - 12:30 pm
« Durham University | New Themes & Ideas in Studies of Iberian & Latin American Art & Visual Culture
Newberry Library | Before GPS: Getting Lost & Found in Early America »
On 5 and 6 July the Zurbarán Centre will host a two-day student-led symposium showcasing innovative doctoral research in Iberian and Latin American art and visual culture. The presentations explore a wide variety of topics across all periods from the middle ages to the twenty-first century. They address important questions relating to art and politics, the circulation of art and artefacts, visual traditions across different media and periods, identity issues, cultural heritage, memory and modernity.
The event brings together students from eight institutions: Durham University, Edinburgh College of Art, Technische Universität Dresden, The Courtauld Institute of Art, Universidad Internacional de Catalunya, Universität Hamburg, University of Cambridge, University of Leeds.
The symposium also features two invited keynote speakers: Dr Amanda W. Dotseth, Curator at the Meadows Museum in Dallas, and Dr George Flaherty, Associate Professor in Art History at the University of Texas at Austin. The student presentations and the keynote lectures will be followed by questions and answers. The aim is to stimulate intellectual debate and connections among emerging and established scholars engaged in Iberian and Latin American art.
The event has been organised by a group of doctoral students at Durham University and Edinburgh College of Art in collaboration with the Zurbarán Centre.

Q: How can I fix this bug in this code When I ran the jUnit test I got an error on testSetName, why is that? cause the test is to see if the name is ferndown and thats what it set as, so why the error?

A: Your Unit test fails in the setUp method of the test class BankCommon because the number used to create a test BankCard in a CurrentAccount is too long or too short. It has nothing to do with the method testSetName as far as I can tell from the stacktrace.

about this book: Who doesn't enjoy a simple, Western romance? Well, in THE DOLAN GIRLS, you get even more bang for your buck! The three Dolan girls are Irish in origin, and strong in their resolve. Two of them are whorehouse madams, surrounded by ladies of the night and colorful customers, and the third one is a bright, young schoolmarm. When they all meet up with a Pinkerton detective, a horse whisperer, Buffalo Bill, Annie Oakley, and tough outlaws, sparks fly, sending the reader back with them into the 1800s, where plenty of action, descriptions of the Old West, and romance reign supreme.

Q: How come I am being detected behind VPN? I have been using a few cheaper VPN services trying to hide my original location. But some internet services have been able to detect me and block me from accessing them.
How could they detect me behind VPN? I thought this was not possible.
Do I have to search for VPNs with a specific set of security features or all would be traceable as well?
EDIT
How did I set up VPN? I got username and password, created a new network in win7 and connected to it via wifi (not direct dial!). Somehow, I was detected by specific services and my account was deleted within 1 day.

A: You probably are facing such issues because of using Shared Dynamic IP. Which may used by someone else at times and being noticed and checked by the website to see if the request is coming from an IP that is a known proxy.
Most cheap VPN vendors, share their VPN servers among many users. If  one, or several, other users who also use that VPN connection have suspicious network activity through the VPN (e.g. they may have a virus or malware trying to spam through mail servers, etc.), the website will label all traffic coming from that VPN server's IP address as suspicious.
In order to overcome this problem, I recommend getting a dedicated IP for your VPN connection which can only be used by you and is not shared.
Here is a short article that explains dedicated IP in nutshell:

Hope it could help

Aunque usamos escaleras todos los días, sabemos poco o nada sobre ellas.
A lo largo de la historia de la arquitectura, la escalera ha sido un elemento importante que es la columna vertebral del espacio de nuestras viviendas y que genera una gran oportunidad para crear un gran elemento de diseño. Hoy en día, este espacio de transición tiene muchas opciones para que los diseñadores jueguen con él y se ha convertido en el elemento principal para marcar una gran diferencia en el diseño de un espacio.

💸MINDSET OF A MILLIONAIRE | PSYCHOLOGY USED BY RICH PEOPLE💡/ By self-made millionaire Steve Siebold .
✔1. THEY TELL THEMSELVES THERE IS NO SHORTAGE OF MONEY, EVEN WHEN THEY DONT HAVE ENOUGH. If they come up with a great idea they're unable to finance, they "proceed to use other people's money to make it happen. .
✔2. THEY SET THEIR EXPECTATIONS UNREASONABLY HIGH. While the middle class sets their financial expectations low so they're never disappointed, the rich set their expectations exceptionally high — they're up for any challenge. .
✔3. THEY THINK OF MAKIING MONEY AS A GAME. The excitement of "playing the game" pushes them to continually raise their level of expectation. The more excited they get, the harder they work and the more they succeed. .
✔4. THEY PERSONIFY MONEY AND SEE IT AS A FRIEND. It is a friend that has the power to end sleepless nights of worry, physical pain, and can even save their life. While wealthy people believe money can solve problems and purchase peace of mind, the middle class "sees money as a never-ending necessary evil that must be endured as part of life. .
✔5. THEY BLOCK OUT FEAR. To operate at this level, you have to be willing to leave your comfort zone, which is exactly what the richest people do. They learn to be comfortable while operating in a state of ongoing uncertainty. .
✔6. THEY TELL THEMSELVES THAT GRTTING RICH IS NATURAL. The rich believe that "success, fulfillment and happiness are the natural order of existence. This single belief drives the great ones to behave in ways that virtually guarantee their success.

The iPod is a line of portable media players designed and marketed by Apple Inc. The first line was released on October 23, 2001, about 8 months after the release of iTunes, which is a media player, media library, and mobile device management application. The most recent iPod redesigns were announced on September 12, 2012. There are four current versions: the ultra-compact iPod Shuffle, the compact iPod Nano, the touchscreen iPod Touch, and the hard drive-based iPod Classic. With the AirX feature developed by Macgo Team, Blu-ray movies can be shared between computer (Mac & PC) and iPod in the same Wi-Fi environment. Users are finally able to experience the most wonderful blu-ray effects on iPod.
Like other digital music players, iPods can serve as external data storage devices. Storage capacity varies by model, ranging from 2 GB for the iPod Shuffle to 160 GB for the iPod Classic. The devices are controlled by the Samsung ARM and the Apple A5 CPUs.
Apple's iTunes software (and other software) can be used to transfer music, photos, videos, games, contact information, e-mail settings, Web bookmarks, and calendars to the devices supporting these features from computers using certain versions of Apple Macintosh and Microsoft Windows operating systems.

We've simplified how you handle personal transactions in Wave. Instead of moving transactions out of your business account and into personal, you can now categorize personal transactions right from your business transactions page.
Navigate to Accounting > Transactions and locate the transaction you want to indicate as personal.
In the transaction detail view, select Deposit from Personal for income transactions or Personal Expense or Withdrawal for expense transactions from the category drop-down.
Select the relevant equity account.
You can categorize a personal transaction to any account listed under Business Owner Contribution and Drawings, like Owner's Investment/Drawings. You can see what Business Owner Contribution accounts you have and add new accounts under Accounting > Chart of Accounts > Equity.
Why categorize to owner investment/drawings?
Owner Investment/Drawing is a category used to keep track of the money you pay into and take out of your business.
When you pay for a personal expense from business funds, you'll bookkeep those transactions to owner investment/drawing to indicate that you took money from your business. When you invest personal funds into your business, the category allows you to keep track of how much your business owes you.
After you categorize a transaction as personal, you'll still be able to see personal transactions on your business transaction page, and your business records will be accurate. Marking a transaction as personal won't create a transaction in your personal Wave account.
You can now mark transactions as personal in bulk! Select all relevant transactions using the checkboxes. Click Edit > Change Category, and choose the applicable Equity account. Then click Apply.

This past weekend, I had the pleasure of hopping on the phone with a bright young talent by way of New York, Joshua Pierce.
A Music major at New York University, Pierce has ambitions beyond producing a catchy hit or two, but maybe that's because he's already done that.
In addition to making music, Pierce is also the founder of The Diversity Organization, an events and media company that's focused on uniting all people together to move past biases and make a positive impact on the entire human race. As a self-proclaimed entrepreneur, musician and producer, the New Jersey native has a lot on his plate, but he's still looking for more.
Yoni Yardeni: So, where are you from?
Joshua Pierce: I'm originally from Teaneck, New Jersey.
YY: What do you do?
JP: I'm a music artist, producer and an entrepreneur.
YY: Obviously I've heard your music, but an entrepreneur too?
JP: Yeah, I run a company called The Diversity Organization. It's an event and media company that focuses on uniting people of all kinds to make a positive impact for the human race. So far, we've hosted over forty events within the last two years, and have been partnered with a handful of high schools and universities as well.
YY: Oh wow, it's all about making an impact. When did you start doing that?
JP: It was about two-and-a-half years ago, and so far we've reached out to thousands of people.
YY: What inspires you to keep doing what you're doing, whether the music or the organization?
JP: Well, first off, God. Second, I want to make a positive impact; that's just what I feel my whole existence is for.
YY: That's great, but it can't hurt to be in a program where Pharrell shows up on campus from time to time.
JP: Yeah, that's an icon, man.
YY: He's definitely a personal favorite of mine. What artists inspire you the most?
JP: It's a very, very versatile list. I'd have to start off with Michael Jackson, move on to Quincy Jones, Beethoven, Drake, Kanye West, Pharrell—there are just so many. So many artists have made such an impact on me that it's hard to even know how to pinpoint and start naming them off.
YY: Going off that, what three artists would you most want to get in a studio with if you had the chance?
JP: Wow, this one caught me off guard. Dead or alive?
JP: First off, Michael Jackson, no doubt. Artists and producers, right? I'd have to go with producer Kanye, that way, I could get a beat from him and might as well try and get a verse from him too.
YY: Hell yeah, best of both worlds.
JP: Of course! One more, huh? Probably my man Kendrick.
YY: Such a great choice. How'd you like the new album?
YY: I noticed that at the start of all your recent videos you write "37SZN." What does that mean?
JP: So, my goal is to continue releasing music till my YouTube account hits 37 million views; right now, it's sitting at around 575,000. The reason for the number 37 will be announced once it happens; it's all part of the bigger picture.
YY: That newest video you put out for "O' Jesus" is ridiculously entertaining. Is that lightheartedness the style you're trying to craft, or do you want to be more versatile?
JP: I just like the music to be a very authentic reflection of who I am as a person. "O' Jesus" was a moment that I wanted to capture—the music is about the impact, you know? Like where a person is and what he's doing in that situation; how can I reach out to that person?
For instance, social awareness has been at a high point lately, and I recently dropped "Villains," a song that embodies that idea. Sometimes you want to get lit and reckless in the car with your friends, sometimes you want to be talking about socially charged topics and other times you just want to toy around and have a good time.
YY: How would you classify the state of modern-day hip hop?
JP: There are obviously some things that are missing from the mainstream. I hate to sound like an old head—I'm only 22—but lyricism is missing. Although, the flows are moving forward, so I like the direction that's going. Guys like Young Thug and Lil Uzi, they're really shaping up their own sound. There are a lot of great things going on, but the lyrical ability and the musicianship could be improved, and that's why I'm coming.
YY: Where do you draw the distinction between an artist and a rapper?
JP: I think the term rapper stands for someone who can rap—put words together with rhymes, on beat. An artist is someone who studies the song that they plan to rap on, someone more in tune with the whole process.
YY: Where do you see your talents taking you in the next three years?
JP: In three years, I want to become much more established, touring and making a name for myself, all that. My goal is to dominate music.

My Bossy CEO Husband, Chapter 89 A Married Couple
Leave a Comment / MY BOSSY CEO HUSBAND / By NovelsYou
''Ryan is here?'' Wendy thought inwardly.
She was stunned for a moment.Then she sat up and coughed lightly.
"You are overthinking. Maybe he is here to see you."
"Maybe," Jeffery agreed flatly.
But deep inside him, he complained, 'He will never pay me a visit without a good reason.'
Although he was complaining in his heart, he didn't dare to delay his action.He pressed a button, and the gate of the villa opened automatically.He then opened the door of the house spontaneously and waited at the door in a fidgety manner.
From a distance, he saw Ryan slowly walking towards him in grey casual clothes.Ryan was only wearing casual clothes, but with his solemn face, his momentum was still unabated.
Behind Ryan was Luke, carrying a huge package in his hands.
In contrast with Ryan, he was dressed in a fancy shirt printed with peony patterns.
Seeing the two men, Wendy breathed a sigh of relief.She turned to Jeffrey and said in a low voice, "Look, they are here to see you.Obviously, they care about you."
Jeffrey glared at her fiercely.
While they were talking, Ryan and Luke were about to walk into the living room.
"Hello, there.Why are you here?" Jeffrey suddenly said.

"Why? Are we not welcome here?"
"Oh, no, no, no.Come on in!"
Jeffrey quickly turned his body sideways, giving way for the two men to enter the house.
As soon as Luke entered the living room, he exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Wow, what a coincidence! Wendy, you are also here!"
'Oh, heck! He is acting again, ' Jeffrey thought, his mouth twitched wildly.
He was not convinced that they didn't know that Wendy was here.
While they were talking, Ryan and Luke had already sat down on the sofa.Ryan sat next to Wendy, leaned against the sofa, and stretched his arm at the back.It was as if he was hugging her.
Jeffrey was taken aback.
What he was seeing right now only confirmed his conjectures.
As far as he could remember, Ryan had never taken the initiative to get close to a woman.
He was now positive that Ryan liked Wendy.
''Damn! Wendy is not vigilant at all, '' he complained inwardly upon seeing that she was still as calm as before.
"Bruce, I'm thirsty."
Upon hearing this, Jeffrey went to the kitchen and fetched several ice-cold drinks, including beer, Coke, Sprite, and mineral water.
When he returned to the living room, he said, "Take whatever you want to drink."
Ryan took a bottle of mineral water, Wendy took the can of Sprite, and Luke took the can of beer.
Jeffrey sat down on the other side of Wendy, opened the can of Coke, and took two gulps.
All of a sudden, Ryan said, "Don't you know that Coke decreases the motility of sperm cells?"
Jeffery was so shocked by Ryan's words that he almost squirted out the Coke in his mouth.Wendy almost chocked on the Sprite.Luke, on the other hand, couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Uncle Ryan…"
Before Jeffery could finish his words, Ryan took the package from Luke and threw it to him, saying, "Your grandfather has asked me to bring this to you.He knows that you're back, so he wants you to go home and have a meal with him when you are free."
"Okay," Jeffrey obediently said, standing in front of Ryan like a primary school student.
The way he reacted amazed Wendy.
She didn't expect him to be afraid of Ryan.
Jeffrey put down the Coke on the coffee table and said, "I've been busy with shooting since I came back, so I'm sorry I haven't been able to visit you.But I've brought gifts for Precious from abroad.I'll give it to her next time we meet."
Then…There was pin-drop silence in the living room.Sitting between Ryan and Jeffrey, Wendy felt embarrassed.So she moved her body uneasily.
"Do you feel uncomfortable?" Ryan asked, looking down at her.
"No, no, no."
"You said you're going home to take a nap, right? Why are you here?" he asked very naturally.
"I'm here because we're going to rehearse for the scene we're going to shoot tomorrow."
As she spoke, Wendy took out the script and smiled awkwardly.
"We are a couple in the 'Story of Concubine Ivanka.' I haven't been to the crew for several days because of the trouble caused by Evie.But I'm going to shoot tomorrow, so I'm here to practice with Jeffery in advance."
Upon hearing her explanation, Ryan glanced at the script casually.And when he saw the content of the script, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"What's wrong?" Wendy asked in confusion.
She noticed that the expression on his face changed.
"Nothing," Ryan said and withdrew his gaze.
"Are you done now?"
"We haven't started yet."
He nodded and took two sips of his mineral water.
Sitting there as if he had no intention of leaving, he said, "You can start now."
Wendy was rendered speechless.And so was Jeffrey.
In the end, the two of them bit the bullet and began to play their roles.But under Ryan's gaze, she couldn't focus on her acting.
She got distracted, especially in the parts where she had to flirt with Jeffrey or when she had to have physical contact with him.
She felt that a chilly wind was blowing behind her, making her unable to get into the scene at all.
Not only her but Jeffrey was also affected by Ryan's powerful aura.He couldn't play his role as well.
"It can't work this way! The atmosphere is not right.We can't even internalize our roles.Let's just do it in the shooting site tomorrow."
'Humph! Ryan, don't think that I don't know what you're thinking.But you can't do anything with it.We will definitely shoot the kissing scene, ' Jeffery thought to himself.
Thinking of this, he casually threw the script.
Luke sat down beside him and put his arm around his shoulder as if they were intimate to each other.
Luke then leaned over and asked curiously, "Bruce, how did you meet Wendy?"
"I fell in love with her at first sight when we were filming a scene together," Jeffery replied calmly.
"Then you pursued her and broke up with her when the fun was over?" Luke asked again.
Jeffrey's face turned gloomy at once.
"It's true that I pursued her.But it wasn't me who dumped her.It was her who dumped me."
"Uh…" Luke became more curious.
He looked at Jeffrey and then at Wendy.
Scratching his head anxiously, he said, "Bruce, tell me what happened."
"I also want to know," Jeffery said crossly because he also didn't understand why.
He was so handsome and popular.
He treated Wendy well, and he didn't mind that she had a son.
But he didn't expect that she would break up with him.
"Wendy, tell me quickly, what is going on between the two of you?" Wendy sighed.
She said, "Luke, it's a pity that you didn't become a paparazzo."
"Come on, tell me!"
This time, not only Luke but Ryan also became curious.
Wendy's scalp tingled.
She said vaguely, "Just after we were together, I realized that we didn't get along well as a couple, so I broke up with him."
Luke was obviously disappointed.
"What else can there be?"
'Boring, ' Luke thought inwardly.
He expected that there would be more stories.
"It's half past three," Ryan suddenly said.
Then he looked at Wendy.
When he saw the confuslon on her face, he added, "It's lime lo prepare dinner."
Once again, Wendy was rendered speechless.
It was summer now, so it usually got dark at seven o'clock in the evening.
Besides, they had just eaten lunch.
"Are you already hungry?"
"Oh.I'll go back and prepare dinner then."
The more Jeffrey listened to them, the more strange he felt.
''Why do I feel like the way they converse sounds like they are a married couple? Yes, they're like husband and wife.I'm sure others who can hear them will also feel the same.But how can it be? What the hell! When Ryan said that he would go to Wendy's house for dinner, she looked as calm as usual.It's as if she is already used to It.Shit! I've told her that Ryan has his own purpose, but she doesn't believe me.No, this can't be.I must let her see Ryan's real intention.''
Thinking of this, Jeffrey stood up at once and said, "I'm hungry too.I'll go with you."


Hello! My name is Chun Rong (or C.R for short) and I'm a self-taught food stylist and photographer based in the sunny island of Singapore.
Growing up, the art of cooking always fascinated me as I observed my aunt prepare hearty meals after school. Thanks to her guidance and many hours of watching cooking shows, I mastered the fundamentals to develop my culinary skills.
It was through these means that my passion for food grew from a hobby to an aspiration. Losing my mother to cancer at the age of 17 taught me the fragility of life, and served as a reminder to pursue my dreams.
With that, I decided to withdraw from university in 2014 and start this very blog to document my kitchen adventures, in the hopes of inspiring others to embrace home cooking. After all, nothing warms the heart more than seeing your loved ones enjoy the food you've prepared!
My cooking style draws inspiration from various cultures and cuisines, incorporating both classic and contemporary techniques to create comforting soul food. As for recipe development, I aim to keep it simple and true to the heart, so that it's easily replicable at home.
Shortly after starting my blog, I began my foray into photography and food styling. For my personal craft, I like to combine natural elements with rustic aesthetics to accentuate the raw beauty of my subjects. Nevertheless, I constantly work to push my boundaries, experimenting with various styles and techniques to gain flexibility as a photographer.
My services include photography, food styling, food aesthetics, props styling, food curation, editorials, recipe development, private dining and workshops.

General wind direction is forecast, but can vary locally, particularly when speeds are light. Wind speed can also vary, sometimes within a few strides, as the air blows over a ridge or summit. Forecast speeds are where exposed, and thus will be an overestimation overall - although locally on some very exposed crags, may be an underestimate.
Mountain winds are frequently above the normal speed range experienced, particularly in inland cities. Thus, we major on describing the impact of the wind. Words used are varied but are based on the tables showing the effect of the wind on you and surroundings and wind chill.
We use a wind chill of 12 degrees Celsius as the limit for specific mention of wind-chill in the text - except on the rare windy days in July and August, when with the expectation of people on the mountains in 'summer' clothes, we lower the figure by a couple of degrees (especially if there is a sudden change from warm weather).


Training days require time, commitment and the right gear. The Women's Reflects Top does the trick: this lightweight training shirt's AirExchange fabric technology allows ample airflow, while also quickly wicking moisture away from your skin to evaporate, keeping you comfortable and dry. Flat-locked seams provide a more comfortable fit and 360-degree reflectivity keeps you visible even when the sun sets.

WestJet to create regional spin-off airline
February 9, 2012 By Budget Airline News
WestJet, the Canadian low-cost airline, revealed plans to create a subsidiary regional airline that will fly to short-haul destinations. The proposed airline will hopefully launch by the end of 2013.
WestJet CEO Gregg Saretsky said the proposed subsidiary will still use the WestJet brand, but will have a separate operating certificate. To keep costs down, it will operate a single-type fleet of either Bombardier Q400s or ATR 72-600 turboprops.
"We're trying, to the degree possible, to replicate exactly how WestJet was started in 1996: single fleet, low cost, highly productive, good utilization, a seating configuration that provides us with a cost advantage over other operators," said Saretsky.

I see we're all going for the murdered out look.
The pics aren't very good, sorry about that.
Nice, been thinking of those motegi mr119 for my tuxedo black as well. They look great!
Be sure to check out www.tirerack.com for more wheel options. I like the Ford Racing wheels but they are costly. You can see what fits the vehicle too at www.wheelpros.com but they are just a distributor so you'll have to find a reseller near you. What I don't like about the wheels is once the brake dust hits the wheels it turns them a shade of brown. So I'm trying to clean the damn things every 3 or 4 days, which is kind of a PITA.
Just kinda liked it for some reason.
What are they doing to your cooling tower back there ??
I think they were cleaning them, I know I saw guys up in lifts going up to get stuff off the tops. Having to park by them is killing me though, so much crap gets on my car and it drives me nuts!

Ballarat Light Car Club
Officially the Ballarat Light Car Club came into being in 1991 but in reality the club was formed in 1949 as a branch of the Light Car Club of Australia.
The parent club fell into serious financial difficulties after the failure of some very high risk projects in the late 1980s and astute local members could see that its likely demise would destroy the Ballarat Branch also.

Pakenham Auto Club
In February 1972 Steve Cornwall and John Carney were working together when the idea of forming a car club came up.
John explained, 'we went over to Mike Frawley's garage on our tea break and discussed the idea with him. Steve was in favour of a social/hotrod type club whereas I wanted a club where I could drive as fast as I could. Mike's mechanic, John Street, then offered us the use of his home for our first meeting. Funny thing was, John Street was the only person at that first meeting that didn't join'.

Peter Cook had great insight about using the airport as a model to build a city. I thought this was a great idea to start thinking about our city, its structure, and its infrastructure in terms of an open architectural model (which is not unlike Cedric Price's Fun Palace or Constant's New Babylon). A model that incorporates mobility into its day to day operations. The techniques of the airport, the harbour, the factory or the Internet should be considered as ways of thinking how the city could take form because these institution's formation have become elastic. However, considering these models would require the deconstruction of old rules, old ways of thinking and the embracing and developing a new reference system, a new set of rules.
When I saw this book, Aerotropolis by Greg Lindsay and John D. Kasarda I was extremely intrigued because I thought it would be providing an inspiring new model. The concept of developing an urban plan in which the layout, infrastructure, and economy is centered around an airport is an interesting concept in theory but as I read more I began to question the logistics. John Kasarda is a professor of Strategy & Entrepreneurship at the University of North Carolina and has developed the term"aerotropolis." He believes that since the global business network has changed air travel to accommodate the demand for overnight shipping, most airports built at the periphery of the city, are outdated models. He believes that major airports have become key nodes in global production and enterprise systems offering them speed, agility, and connectivity. He boldly states that "Aviation is the 21st century's physical Internet" supplying fast long-distance connectivity. The major flaw in his proclamations is that his development model relies exclusively on fossil fuel. He is not an urban planner (yet he is the developer for the Sangdo International business district) so he is not providing a new model but relies on the same development patterns are already in use.
Needless to say I was very disappointed in Aerotropolis so I thought I would include artists who are not proposing new models but instead are exploratory and consider the unlimited possibilities about contemporary air travel and maybe the city as well. Because as Henri Lefebvre believed demanding the impossible was the only way to get all that is possible.
And I thought I would end this post with a still from Fritz Lang's Metropolis made in 1927, a movie ahead of its time.
