Nitric oxide (NO) stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis. We recently reported that adiponectin synthesis is regulated by mitochondrial function in adipocytes. This study was undertaken to test the hypothesis that endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) plays an important role in adiponectin synthesis by producing NO and enhancing mitochondrial function in adipocytes. We examined the effects of eNOS knockdown on adiponectin synthesis in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and also examined plasma adiponectin levels and the mitochondria in adipose tissue of eNOS knockout (eNOS–/–) mice with and without chronic administration of a NO donor. In cultured 3T3-L1 adipocytes, eNOS siRNA decreased rosiglitazone-induced adiponectin secretion, which was associated with decreases in mitochondrial proteins and biogenesis factors. Plasma adiponectin concentrations were reduced in adult eNOS–/– mice compared with age-matched wild-type mice. Mitochondrial contents in adipose tissue were reduced in eNOS–/– mice, and this was associated with decreased expression of mitochondrial biogenesis factors, increased levels of 8-hydroxyguanosine, a biomarker of oxidative stress, and morphological abnormalities in mitochondria. Rosiglitazone-induced increases in adiponectin expression and mitochondrial content were also reduced significantly in eNOS–/– mice. Chronic administration of a NO donor reversed mitochondrial abnormalities and increased adiponectin expression in adipose tissue of eNOS–/– mice. eNOS plays an important role in adiponectin synthesis in adipocytes by increasing mitochondrial biogenesis and enhancing mitochondrial function.

Background Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a decreased ability to repair DNA damaged by UV radiation and the early development of cutaneous and ocular malignant neoplasms. Approximately 20% of patients with XP also develop progressive neurologic degeneration.
Observations We describe a boy who was found to have XP after a severe burn following minimal sun exposure. His maternal uncle, now age 20 years, had been diagnosed with XP after a similar sunburn in infancy. The uncle has the typical skin pigmentary findings of XP along with severe progressive neurologic involvement. Although the infant's parents were not known to be blood relatives, the infant and his affected uncle proved to be compound heterozygotes for the same 2 frameshift mutations in the XPA DNA repair gene (c.288delT and c.349_353del). After the diagnosis of XP in the infant, genealogic investigation identified a common Dutch ancestor for both of his grandfathers 5 generations back.
Conclusions Counseling families at risk for a rare inherited disease is not always straightforward. The sociocultural and demographic backgrounds of the families must be considered for evaluation of risk assessment.

Q: Simple Computing Machine I'm working on a Von Neumann Machine, I'm writing a java program that works like a simple machine, that follows instructions. It reads a textfile and depending on the OpCode in the file, it either stores, adds, substract, multilply, divide and load numbers. Should I use a switch statement or alot of if else statements?

*

*01 07 // load 7 to Accumulator

*21 91 // store Accumulator M1

*05 13 // add 13 to 7 and keep 20 in the Acc.

*99 99 // print Acc. contents

*06 12 // subtract 12 from Acc.

*21 91 // store 8 to M1
public class Machine{
public static void main(String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException

{
  File file = new File("U:/op.txt");
  Scanner readfile = new Scanner(file);

    while(readfile.hasNextInt()){
      String read = readfile.nextLine();

      System.out.println(read);
    }

}

A: Use this:
import java.io.*;
import java.util.Scanner;

public class Machine{
    public static void main(String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException
    {
        File file = new File("U:/op.txt");
        Scanner readfile = new Scanner(file);

        int acc = 0;
        int M1 = 0;

        while(readfile.hasNextInt())
        {
            String read = readfile.nextLine();

            switch(read.substring(0, 2))
            {
                case "01":
                    acc = M1 + Integer.parseInt(read.substring(3, 5));
                    System.out.println(acc);
                break;
            }
        }
    }
}

The read.substring(0, 2) gets the first two characters.
The read.substring(3, 5) gets the other two and Integer.parseInt(intString) gets the integer value of these two characters.
This can be reused for all your examples by adding in the other cases in the switch.

The new year is already on the horizon and our marketing team are already planning an exciting new campaign. This year we have had an amazing response to our photographs taken at centre and we are keen to continue this into next year.
SLT are committed to use as many real photos of our members and customers within our marketing and social media, as we know these are the types of images you engage with.
By chance a meeting before an Indoor cycling class led to Wednesbury Leisure Centre member Rumena being recruited to being the face of our annual brochure & summer social media campaign.
Rumena commented " it was fantastic to be involved with SLT with a campaign like this. It's amazing how a few photographs taken at my regular class led to my face coming on a wide collection of marketing platforms. It was very special to make the front cover. I'd urge anyone who gets this opportunity in the future to grab it, since then I've done some extra modelling at Harry Mitchell Leisure Centre."
This November, we will be taking a selection of images of our members & customers in a studio setting to represent each centre. Could you be the person to represent your favourite centre? If you are interested in being considered, you would need to be available for an hour on a selected date in early November. You will be photographed in your fitness gear but also your occupational clothing. The team you will be working with are very friendly so no need to be nervous!
We are sure the demand to be involved will be high, so please don't be concerned if you are not selected, it's just a case we only need nine members.
If you would like to be considered please drop our Marketing team an email (marketing@slt-leisure.co.uk) with a recent photograph, your most visited centre & occupation.

Well, the answer to all these questions, lies in the video.
So, if you also want to achieve something good for yourself then you must watch this really motivational video.
This video presents the perspective of a self made person, a famous influencer, a sports person, a captain, a leader, a fighter, the one and only Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who started off his career as a ticket collector in a railway station and once he got into cricket, he never looked back.


That is beautiful Cheryl and I love that photo of both of you.
Such a beautiful poem dedicated to a beautiful boy. Thank you Cheryl for letting us into your heart and sharing your beautiful words.
That is a beautiful poem. Absolutely beautiful.
This is such a wonderfully written tribute to a beautiful boy.... flipping the calendar yesterday was very bitter sweet. HUGS Cheryl!
Cheryl, a very touching poem for a beautiful boy. Well done Cheryl, great job. I could tell it came straight from the heart.
I looked at the calendar last night and said a prayer for Aldo. Taken from this earth way too early.
Sorry. Wait. No I'm not sorry at all.

I've had a few friends visit Spain in the last couple years and checked with me on my itinerary. I spend hours digging through Gmail and Evernote to find excerpts of the itinerary I so diligently researched and put together. I've started to forget names of half the streets and tapas bars from over 3 years ago, so I thought I'll start documenting these.
I planned a 10 day trip to Spain, flew in from San Francisco to Madrid and flew out of Barcelona.
Whenever I visit Europe, my choice of hotels is *always* to stay a little away from the city center, but to be within walking distance of a metro station so you can get to most destinations within 10 mins. My fav thing about Spain was – you could literally stop in the middle of any street, in front of any house, and you'll be surrounded by vibrant colors, ornate doors and cheerful warm incredibly attractive people! 🙂 The picture below was taken on a random street somewhere in Seville.
Flew into Madrid in the morning, and checked into hotel Aparto Suites Muralto, within walking distance of the Royal Palace and Plaza de España.
and then I took the train to my FAV SPOT ON THIS PLANET – San Gines Churros! 🙂 This place I found by accident, but I was walking around looking for shelter in the rain and found a charming roadside bookstore to kill time till the rain stopped. The owner was this sweet old man who told me to just walk down this narrow alley from the bookstore to a lil hot-chocolate shop he was sure I'd love!
After a dinner that comprised of multiple hot chocolates and maybe a 100 churros, I took the train back to my hotel to rest for the night.
Puerto Del Sol: is a public square in Madrid, one of the best known and busiest places in the city.
is an ornate and upscale shopping street located in central Madrid. Today the street is known as the Spanish Broadway, and is one of the streets with the most nightlife in Europe.Next morning, I stepped out early to explore Puerto del Sol – for the shopping and food and drinks and walked by the Gran Via. Like other major plazas, they had tons of local artists, exhibits, bizarre art .. something i hadn't seen before was this baba-act! I had to take a picture! And yes I know theres a trick to it, but it looked super cool!
This was so beautiful after sundown. Strolled down the cobblestone streets in the rain, light from the street lamps glistening off the droplets on the road and local musicians playing tunes through twilight. I felt so alone, and yet it felt like the most romantic walk down the chaotic streets of Madrid.
I got dinner by one of the many amazing Italian restaurants by the Plaza.
If you want to (and i think you should) experience the vibrant night life of Madrid, you have to take a metro to the Cava Baja neighborhood. Soon as you get off the metro station, you'll see a streets lined with tons of small tapas and wine bars, young, incredibly good looking spanish men and women, dancing and drinking all the way till 6am! Seville: My fav place in Spain 🙂 Spent 3 nights here!
Took a train AVE from Madrid – Seville Checked into hotel Un Patio en Santa Cruz – this ADOOOORABLE hotel with whitewashed walls with hanging flower pots along the length – which is in fact a restored 18th-century house in Seville's Santa Cruz neighborhood! Its on an incredibly narrow street, you can't even take a cab all the way here. Its only a minute from the Alcazar Palace, and actually has a terrace with wonderful views of the Giralda and Seville Cathedral.
Day 3 & 4: Over the next 2 days I took my time to explore the Cathedral, Alcazar, Barrio de Santa Cruz, Giralda, Plaza de Espana – All within walking distance from one another and from the hotel.
The Cathedral of Saint Mary, better known as Seville Cathedral, is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Seville. It is the largest Gothic cathedral and the third-largest church in the world.
Alcazar: The Alcázar of Seville is a royal palace in Seville, Spain, originally developed by Moorish Muslim kings.
former Jewish quarter of the medieval city. Santa Cruz is bordered by the Jardines de Murillo, the Real Alcázar etc and is the location of many of Seville's oldest churches and is home to the Cathedral of Seville, including the converted minaret of the old Moorish mosque.I don't have too many pics from this place but I remember spending all afternoon walking and exploring the neighborhood.
Exploring the gorgeous structures that made up the Alcazar! Walk across the Roman Bridge – built in the early 1st century BC across the Guadalquivir river, in the Historic centre of Córdoba, Andalusia, southern Spain. Again I don't have pictures unfortunately, but I found this silly pic of me taking a break after all that walking!
Take a 4 hr train ride from Seville to Granada, in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains in Andalucía. Checked in to Hotel Navas iwhich is a short 5 min walk from the Granada Cathedral and the Alahambra. I rented a bike here and explored the Gorgeous Alahambra, biked through Plaza Nueva on to Plaza de Espana.
Atop a hill overlooking Granada, in southern Spain, is the majestic and stunning Alhambra. Both fortress and palace, it has been home to kings and vagabonds. Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is an awe inspiring blend of Moorish and Christian architecture and design.
Exploring the insides of the Alahambra !!
After spend almost the whole day exploring the grounds of the Fortress, I biked down to through Plaza Neuva on to Plaza de Espana!
There's just SO much to do in Barcelona, I can spend ten blog posts on it.I'm instead going to list some of the places I explored that don't normally show up on tourism sites coz I had local family walk me through my 4 days in Barcelona.
is a mountain top monastery in Catalonia, Spain, about an hour north of Barcelona. Situated atop an unusual rock mountain, it is very popular among Catalans, and Catholic pilgrims come from far and wide to see the Black Madonna.
I was going through a difficult time and really wanted to visit this Monastery – to make a wish lighting a candle and spending a few hours alone in the pin drop silence and serenity that surrounds this monastery.
This is close to the Columbus Statue. There is a VERY old bar that hangs meat all across their ceilings, serves local champagne along with a a side of pork chops made right before your eyes! I cannot remember the name of the bar and it isn't listed on any of the tourism sites, but is a very popular locals joint. Here's where I got a shot of the Columbus Status!
You've already heard about Gaudi, Sagrada Familia (which was still under construction when I visited), Ramlas for all the food and drinking and of course Paseo de Garcia for the fancy shopping!
Lastly, make sure to to check out the fountains by night at the Royal Palace of Barcelona. I have a pathetic picture from the night, but I still can picture how spectacular the lights were.
Lastly Lastly, the DOCKS! The night life by the docks is unparalleled. The fine food, cocktails, the upscale decks and the spectacular views of the city from across the sea – unforgettable!

Q: How to send a token with an AJAX request from jQuery I use express-jwt and create my token via jQuery and save it in my localStorage with:
$.ajax({
  url: "http://localhost:8080/login",
  type: 'POST',
  data: formData,
  error : function(err) {
    console.log('Error!', err)
  },
  success: function(data) {
    console.log('Success!')
    localStorage.setItem('token', data.id_token);
  }
});

I have a protected route in my backend like:
app.get('/upload',jwt({secret: config.secret}), function(req, res) {
  res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname + '/upload.html'));
});

How can I send the token from localStorage with the request header?

A: You can set the headers in a $.ajax request:
$.ajax({
  url: "http://localhost:8080/login",
  type: 'GET',
  // Fetch the stored token from localStorage and set in the header
  headers: {"Authorization": localStorage.getItem('token')}
});

A: I use the approach below to cover JWT authentication with the result status types
$.ajax({
  url: "http://localhost:8080/login",
  type: "POST",
  headers: { Authorization: $`Bearer ${localStorage.getItem("token")}` },
  data: formData,
  error: function(err) {
    switch (err.status) {
      case "400":
        // bad request
        break;
      case "401":
        // unauthorized
        break;
      case "403":
        // forbidden
        break;
      default:
        //Something bad happened
        break;
    }
  },
  success: function(data) {
    console.log("Success!");
  }
});

A: If you are using JWT authentication then this is how you add it to the headers in .ajax() method:
headers: {
    Authorization: 'Bearer '+token
}

December 6 Radio History
In 1877...Thomas Edison made his first recording of a human voice, reciting the nursery rhyme "Mary had a little lamb," on the first tinfoil cylinder phonograph.
In 1923...The White House was brought fully into the modern age of communication when Calvin Coolidge (1923-1929) made the first presidential radio broadcast from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue on this day in 1923. The next year, he made history again in by appearing in the first sound film of an American President.
In 1877, President Rutherford B. Hayes (1877-1881) spoke on the telephone to the instrument's inventor, Alexander Graham Bell. Two years later, Hayes had his own telephone in the White House, but the invention was so new that very few homes or offices in Washington had phones, so Hayes had few people to talk to. In fact, the president's telephone number was "1".
In 1957...Elvis Presley met two of his music idols, R&B singers Little Junior Parker and Bobby "Blue" Bland, while visiting Memphis radio station WDIA.
In 1963...The Beatles began a tradition of releasing a spoken-word and musical message Christmas recording for fans. One such record was issued each year from 1963–1969 and a compilation of all seven in 1970.
In 1971…The single "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)," credited to John & Yoko/Plastic Ono Band with the Harlem Community Choir, was released in North America.
In 1980...In an interview with BBC Radio 1, John Lennon said the great thing about living in New York City was that people left him alone.
In 1994...WRKS NYC changes format to classic soul

L-A Radio: KIIS-FM's Sisanie Named Ryan Seacrest CoHost
iHeartMedia has announced that well known Los Angeles radio personality Sisanie has been named the new co-host of "On Air with Ryan Seacrest," effective immediately.
Sisanie
Friday evening, onstage at 102.7 KIIS FM's Jingle Ball 2015 Presented by Capital One, Ryan Seacrest made the announcement and Sisanie joined him onstage to make their first official appearance together as co-hosts. "On Air with Ryan Seacrest" broadcasts on L.A.'s No. 1 Hit Music Station - 102.7 KIIS-FM — on weekday mornings and is syndicated on 170 stations worldwide. She will also continue to serve as Music Coordinator for KIIS-FM.
"I was lucky to have such a talented co-host in Ellen-K for the last 11 years, and she's irreplaceable in so many ways," said Ryan Seacrest, Host and Executive Producer.
"Sisanie has dedicated her career to being a top radio on-air talent. She's worked so hard and, and no matter what job they put her in at KIIS-FM over the last decade, she did it great, and with a smile. Her skill, passion and persistence have paid off in spades. She's from Orange County and has grown up listening to KIIS-FM. Like me, she fell in love with radio when she was young, and really has never looked back. I'm excited that she is joining the show as co-host, because frankly, I can't think of anyone more qualified or who has more passion for radio and our show than Sisanie."
Sisanie previously hosted her own midday show on KIIS-FM for the past 8 years and also broadcasted a midday show for KHTS-Channel 93.3, San Diego's Hit Music Station, during that time. In addition, Sisanie has had her own national show, which was heard on more than 60 CHR radio stations including major markets such as Y100 in Miami.
Born in Orange County, the bilingual, Mexican/Peruvian beauty discovered her passion for broadcasting in high school. Sisanie was only 19 years old when she started interning for iHeartMedia. She was honored by Edison Media Research in 2008 as one of its "30 under 30" after a nationwide search for 30 young bright individuals with promising careers in the radio industry. Sisanie was also the announcer for the 2014 and 2015 iHeartRadio Ultimate Pool Party which was nationally televised on The CW network, and, earlier this year, co-hosted LIVE From the Grammy Red Carpet for KTLA 5.
I went from an intern to my dream job! It took many years and I wouldn't change any one of them! Love all of you! https://t.co/usKcMAbDXk
— SISANIE® (@Sisanie) December 5, 2015
"I grew up listening to KIIS-FM, so to be given this opportunity means everything! This is home and it's an honor to work with the best in the industry. Thank you John Ivey and Ryan Seacrest for believing in me," said Sisanie. "I also want to thank Joe Haze and iHeartMedia San Diego for giving me my first internship which ultimately led me to my dream job!"

Current co-host Ashley Figueroa and entertainment segment host Erika Grace Powell have both left the show.
Reporters Gain Access To Killer's House
By Joseph Ax and Dan Levine
NEW YORK/SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - The decision by a landlord on Friday to allow news reporters into the home of the couple who massacred 14 people in California provoked outrage on social media but likely broke no laws, legal and media experts said.
In an unusual scene carried live by major television networks, dozens of journalists, including Reuters employees, swarmed through the townhouse where Tashfeen Malik and her husband Syed Farook had lived with their six-month-old daughter.
Malik, 29, and Farook, 28, were killed in a shootout with police hours after the attack at a social services agency in San Bernardino on Wednesday, during which 14 people were killed and 21 were wounded.
The landlord, Doyle Miller, used a crowbar to pry away plywood that was barricading the door, and told reporters the Federal Bureau of Investigation had cleared the apartment and said he could open it.
Reporters rifled through documents, picked up baby toys and thumbed through family photos, all live on television. Neighbors also appeared to freely enter the home.
The townhouse contained several religious books, including a children's book called "Islamic Manners," and a tapestry on the wall bearing Arabic script. A crib with several colorful blankets and a prayer rug were inside a baby's room.
Negative reaction on social media was swift and widespread.
Wesley Lowery, a national security reporter for the Washington Post, on Twitter called the scene "a massive failure of two vital institutions - media and law enforcement."
Mohammad Abuershaid, an attorney for the family, said they felt that the media's entry into the house was "an invasion of privacy." He said photographers and camera crews were "taking unacceptable pictures of private things in the house, such as family photos and clothing."
"It was kind of like a blitz," he said, adding that the FBI "should have had better control over this house."
FBI: NOT A CRIME SCENE
Some questioned how agents could have finished searching the townhouse, as part of what the FBI is describing as a "federal terrorism investigation," in just 24 hours. At one point, as CNN aired live video of the apartment, the network's analyst, Harry Houck, said he had "chills down my spine" that reporters were handling potential evidence.
"Now you have thousands of fingerprints all over inside of this crime scene," he said.
In response to Reuters, Laura Eimiller, a spokeswoman for the FBI in Los Angeles, said it was not a "crime scene" and that it was irresponsible for news organizations to suggest the agency had not taken enough time to search the townhouse. At 24 hours, the search was actually longer than the typical property search, she said.
"We did a very thorough search and took our time and completed it," she said. "There are cases where we need to preserve a location, but that's extremely rare."
'OVERWHELMING' SCENE
The constitution mandates that the FBI release private property to the owner once it completes its search, said Rory Little, a former U.S. Justice Department official.
Representatives for local police departments, including the San Bernardino Sheriff's Department, said the FBI controlled the crime scene.
Karen Carrera, a San Francisco attorney who has represented tenants, said the landlord could theoretically face legal action from the Farook estate because California law requires landlords to preserve a tenant's belongings. But, she said, it was unclear whether damages could be collected if no items were taken.
Miller told reporters he allowed the media to enter but said he was surprised at how "overwhelming" the scene quickly became.
News organizations likely would not be legally liable for going in with the landlord's permission, said Robert Drechsel, a professor at the University of Wisconsin School of Journalism and Mass Communication.
Eugene Volokh, a law professor at the University of California in Los Angeles, said newsgathering is also exempted from state law regarding the commercial use of images.
The only potential legal issue, experts said, could be showing the personal information of living people, such as the social security card and driver's license belonging to Farook's mother that MSNBC briefly displayed on camera.
Regardless of the law, Dreschel said, the decision to carry live coverage while reporters examined personal items not clearly connected to the shooters, such as photographs of family members, raised ethical questions, he said.
"What great new information and insight did this provide that made it so important that not only everyone rush in, in a big herd, but also put this on-air live and show personal items?" Drechsel said.
MSNBC immediately began trending on social media after showing the mother's identification cards, as outraged commenters faulted the network for disregarding privacy.
The network said in a statement that it had entered with permission from the landlord. And, it added, "We regret that we briefly showed images of photographs and identification cards that should not have been aired without review."
A spokesman for Reuters said its journalists had entered with consent and "focused our reporting on the images and aspects of the scene that are newsworthy."
Representatives for CNN and Fox News said they had permission and exercised editorial judgment in refraining from showing sensitive information such as identification cards and photographs.

NY Times Publishes Front-Page Editorial
(Reuters) - The New York Times, in its first front-page editorial in nearly a century, on Saturday called for outlawing the kinds of rifles used in the California shooting massacre this week that left 14 people dead.
The newspaper's editorial comes three days after Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik, a married couple, carried out the mass shooting in San Bernardino with legally-purchased, .223 caliber assault-style rifles. FBI officials have said they are investigating the shooting as an "act of terrorism."
The couple also had semi-automatic pistols, and U.S. officials have said Malik is believed to have pledged allegiance to a leader of the militant group Islamic State.
"Certain kinds of weapons, like the slightly modified combat rifles used in California, and certain kinds of ammunition, must be outlawed for civilian ownership," the New York Times editorial said.
The editorial went on to argue that an act to outlaw such weapons would "require Americans who own those kinds of weapons to give them up for the good of their fellow citizens."
The piece made brief mention of other U.S. mass shootings. "Let's be clear: These spree killings are all, in their own ways, acts of terrorism," it said.
President Barack Obama has called for legislation to make it harder for criminals to get guns. He has noted mass shootings do not happen as frequently in other advanced countries and said the United States should address the problem.
Republicans in Congress have mounted heavy opposition to gun control measures.
The debate over gun control has long been one of the most contentious political issues in the United States, with the right to gun ownership enshrined in the U.S. Constitution's 2nd Amendment.
In a post on the website of the libertarian magazine Reason, senior editor Brian Doherty criticized the editorial, and in particular the call for citizens to eventually give up certain rifles.
"What the Times is calling for is, beyond its countable costs in money and effort and the likely further erosion of civil liberties, also (as they surely know) calling for a massive political civil war the likes of which we haven't seen in a long time," Doherty wrote.
It is the first time The Times has run an editorial on the front page since 1920, when the newspaper expressed dismay at the nomination of Warren G. Harding as the Republican presidential candidate. Harding went on to win the general election that year.

Cumulus has announced that the NASH Next artist development competition named the Dallas-based band Breaking Southwest as grand prize winner Thursday night at the Wildhorse Saloon in Nashville, after a performance from the top 10 finalists alongside Country star Cassadee Pope.
This unique competition discovers and releases music from the most promising Country talent, with the winner signed to the new NASH Next record label and the top 10 finalists all participating in a national tour next year.
Country fans nominated and voted for their favorite new Country acts – with more than 450 million social media impressions in the last 3 months alone and more than 1.4 million visitors to NASHNextCountry.com. The NASH Next nationwide talent search included an extensive series of competitions that challenged contenders to showcase their musical and creative talents. This included a cover song performance, multiple songwriting competitions and the creation of an original Instagram video, a PicCollage project and a fully produced original music video. The winner was decided based on a combination of feedback from the music industry judges, online fan voting and an original "Spin Index" of social media activity.
The three NASH judges included legendary music producer James Stroud, award-winning Country music artist and radio personality Kix Brooks and Cumulus Senior Vice President of Content and Programming Mike McVay. In October, Scott Borchetta, the President, CEO and Founder of Big Machine Label Group, was named as a surprise mentor, who guided the finalists through the last challenge to produce an original music video.
"This innovative talent competition showed the strength of the Country music fan community. We are delighted that we were able to connect with millions of enthusiastic Country music lovers and will now be able to take 10 artists and bands on the first NASH Next tour in just a few months," said Mike McVay, Senior Vice President of Content and Programming for Cumulus.
"The entire NASH Next process has been incredible from start to finish and being the first winner is an honor. We want to thank Cumulus and NASH Next for taking this concept and making it a reality," said Breaking Southwest members Lauren Hall, Kent Bell and Kyle Gaston. "We want to thank our families, fans and friends for listening, watching, sharing and voting. Thank you for supporting us and please continue to hold us to the highest standard…We're ready to go to work!"
The Nash Next Tour will begin in February 2016, and exact locations and dates will be released at a later date. Season 2 "The Voice" finalist RaeLynn, who had a top 10 Country hit "God Made Girls" and recently toured with Miranda Lambert, will also join the top 10 finalists. Her debut album is due next year.
Univision Asks Judge To Toss Trump Suit
On Friday, Univision formally asked a New York judge to dismiss the $500 million lawsuit that Donald Trump filed over the Spanish broadcaster's decision to terminate a five-year, $13.5 million deal to broadcast the Miss USA pageant, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Univision decided not to move forward with Miss USA after Trump, in his June 16 presidential announcement speech, spoke about Mexican immigrants, saying, "They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people."
Today, Univision tells a judge that "through his diatribe, Trump destroyed the value of those broadcast rights, and neither Trump nor Miss Universe did anything to repair the damage in the aftermath of his speech. The widespread outrage elicited by Trump's offensive comments was especially acute for Univision's sponsors and predominantly Hispanic viewers, who made clear that they would not patronize a business connected with Trump."
In September, Trump sold the Miss Universe Organization to WME/IMG, but retained rights to assert claims against Univision. But even if he hadn't held onto the right to sue Univision over the Miss USA deal, the Republican presidential candidate has also asserted a defamation claim over an Instagram post by Univision Networks president of programming and content Alberto Ciurana. The social media post was a side-by-side portrait of him and South Carolina shooter Charleston, S.C., shooter Dylann Roof.
iHM: AM/FM Radio Is Still in the Driver's Seat
Media may like to hype the next "shiny new object," but a better gauge of what the future holds in terms of in-car audio entertainment is to simply look at what consumers want, according to Radha Subramanyam, President of Insights, Research and Analytics for iHeartMedia
AM/FM radio remains the go-to choice for American consumers when driving -- and by an amazingly large margin. Today, 84% of consumers listen to regular AM/FM radio in the car, with the next largest music option being CDs at 64% and Sirius XM at 22%. Almost 75% of all audio time spent in the car is spent listening to AM/FM radio, with Sirius XM next at 14% and owned music at 11%. All streaming is just 2%.
When asked, 82% of Americans say that the first thing they do when they get into their cars is turn on the radio. A recent IPSOS study estimated that 98% of consumers want an AM/FM radio with their new car purchase -- and an incredible 99% of consumers say they're comfortable with how AM/FM radio operates in their cars, i.e. with buttons and knobs.
Radha Subramanyam
Subramanyamin MediaVillage writes, "I'm not saying that consumers don't love other options like apps, because they do, just not instead of radio, or to the degree of radio."
She adds: A recent J.D. Power survey showed that nine out of ten consumers do not use built-in auto apps regularly a year after they purchase their new car. They also talked about "automakers spending billions on technologies that many consumers don't use," with consumers responding that they "did not find it useful" and that it "came as part of a package … I did not want it."
Consumers have definitely spoken, and digital services are taking notice, stating right up front that they want to be like radio. At this year's DASH 3.0 conference focusing on "Radio & the Connected Car: A Survival Guide for Radio Broadcasters," Pandora made it a point to say that it aspires to the simplicity of AM/FM radio. There's a natural ease that comes with listening to your favorite broadcast station while driving that simply can't be matched.
According to Subramanyam, there's good reason for broadcast radio's continued popularity. It offers listeners the voices and personalities they know, love and trust. It's the best friend sitting next to you in the car telling you everything you need to know. Radio os the original mobile medium if you go back to the core definition of mobile as "on the move," and it's also always been a social medium, providing listeners with the opportunity to interact with their favorite on-air personalities long before the invention of social media. Think about the call-in phone lines, which have now morphed into Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, texting and all the other ways that DJs connect to their listeners today.

In 1901...Disney empire founder Walt Disney was born on this day in 1901. He died Dec. 15, 1966 at 65.
In 1906...radio writer-producer-director William Spier was born in New York City. He is best remembered for his years producing CBS Radio's top quality Suspense anthology dramas, and The Adventures of Sam Spade, Detective. In 1952 he created TV's first 90-minute program Omnibus for NBC. He died May 30 1973 at age 66.
In 1936...Bing Crosby takes over as host of the Kraft Music Hall radio show on NBC.
The Kraft Program debuted June 26, 1933 as a musical-variety program featuring orchestra leader Paul Whiteman and served to supplement print advertising and in-store displays promoting Kraft products. During its first year the show went through a series of name changes, including Kraft Musical Revue, until it finally settled on Kraft Music Hall in 1934. Paul Whiteman remained the host until December 6, 1935. Ford Bond was the announcer.
Bing Crosby was host until May 9, 1946. Other entertainers who appeared regularly during Crosby's tenure included Connie Boswell, Victor Borge, and Mary Martin. A review in Billboard magazine commented, "It is a tribute to Bing Crosby, program's highlight, that the Music Hall seems to survive all talent change -- these changes simply pointing up the fact that the show is completely dependent on Crosby."
For the advertising managers at Kraft, it was imperative that advertising and entertainment be kept separate. For this reason, Kraft insisted that an announcer, not cast members, read its commercials.
In 1952..Mutual Radio broadcast "The Green Hornet" for the final time. The show left the air after 15 years on Mutual, NBC and ABC. "The Green Hornet" reappeared in 1966, this time on TV.
In 1955...Disc-Jockey Alan Freed's movie "Rock Rock Rock" opened to packed theatres in New York City. Rock, Rock, Rock was black-and-white motion picture featuring performances from a number of early rock 'n' roll stars, such as Chuck Berry, LaVern Baker, Teddy Randazzo, The Moonglows, The Flamingos, and The Teenagers with Frankie Lymon as lead singer.
In 1967... Billboard Magazine has rated WMCA 570 AM the most influential in selling single records in New York. That doesn't mean everything WMCA picks is going to be a hit, but there's a good chance that it will get attention.
Ruth Meyer
A typical music meeting is held on Tuesday. Usually on hand - the station's Program Director - Ruth Meyer, music assistants Joe Bogart and Frank Costa and several WMCA deejays. WMCA says its policy is to select records that the station believes will become hits or those that are already established hits in other cities. WMCA says "it will not play dirty records."
From Billboard: During last week's music meeting - four new records were voted on. The first was "Silent Night" by Simon and Garfunkel. This is a striking version. The duo's singing is accompanied by a newscaster's voice telling of rioting in Cicero (IL), of Richard Speck and the killing of the student nurses, of HUAC activities in Washington and Richard Nixon's remarks on Vietnam. Four WMCA DJ's present - said they loved the record. Said Joe O'Brien - "It'll be the biggest protest song yet." "Great Record" said Harry Harrison. "I think it's fantastic" said Dan Daniel and Jack Spector claimed "It's a seller." The record was added for holiday play. The second record - "I Can't Help Myself" by the Troggs was voted down. It was considered sexually suggestive. "Too tough" commented one DJ. The third record (and this one's very interesting) is called " Society's Child " by teenager Janice Ian. This is a song about an interracial dating. Very different. Research shows the record is a hit in Flint, Mich., Phoenix, Bakersfield and Denver and has been held over in several WMCA meetings. Ruth Meyer asks if there have been any calls? "No, but we've been getting a lot of postcards" said someone else. The record was not added to the WMCA playlist and will be held over. (WMCA and most top-40 stations would add the record in Spring of '67, after Leonard Bernstein featured Janice and the song on his March TV special.) The fourth record - "Wish You Were Here, Buddy" by Pat Boone - about a Vietnam soldier who voices a little social criticism of longhaired draft card burners back in the states. It is being held over.
In 1987...The Hot 100..Former Go-Go Belinda Carlisle reached the pinnacle with her first solo effort "Heaven Is A Place On Earth". Bill Medley & Jennifer Warnes relinquished the top spot with "(I've Had) The Time Of My Life". George Michael moved to 3 with "Faith", leaping Richard Marx and "Should've Known Better". The rest of the Top 10: Whitesnake and their second hit "Is This Love", Debbie Gibson's "Shake Your Love", "We'll Be Together" by Sting, Whitney Houston roared in from 16 to 8 with "So Emotional", R.E.M. entered the list with "The One I Love" and Jody Watley grabbed #10--"Don't You Want Me".
In 1987...The album Chart...Dirty Dancing kept on as the #1 album with the previous Bad from Michael Jackson still clinging to #2. Whitesnake was third while Pink Floyd peaked at #4 with A Momentary Lapse of Reason.
The rest of the Top 10: Tunnel of Love from Bruce Springsteen falling to #5, The Lonesome Jubilee by John Cougar Mellencamp, Hysteria by Def Leppard was just in its infancy at #7, today was the day that Faith by George Michael climbed from 15-8 and first joined the Top 10 in its third week of release, ...Nothing Like the Sun from Sting remained at #9 and Whitney, Whitney Houston's second album, was at #10.
In 2002...Roone Arledge, the pioneering TV exec who headed ABC News and ABC Sports, created Wide World of Sports, Monday Night Football, Nightline and 20/20, and was responsible for sports coverage innovations like instant replay and slow motion, died. He was 71.
In 2003...Lafollette, Tennessee: DJ Jerry Monday and his wife were found dead in their home. Monday was the morning man on WLAF 1450 AM, a Gospel-formatted Radio station.
In 2008...iTunes Music Store reached a new sales plateau of 300 million applications downloaded.
In 2011...Monday Night Football Sports commentator/former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Don Meredith died of a brain hemorrhage at age 72.
FCC's Net Neutrality Goes On Trial
The strongest U.S. Internet regulations ever written will face their day in court on Friday, according to The Hill.
Internet service providers like AT&T are hoping to have the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit strike down the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) net neutrality regulations, just as it did to a pair of prior iterations of the rules.
The FCC has touted the rules as a win for consumers, contending they will prevent Internet service providers from blocking, slowing or charging high prices for access to fast lanes for any piece of Internet traffic.
Internet companies like Netflix, Twitter and Etsy helped push for the increased authority, in which the FCC reclassified Internet service as a telecommunications service, rather than its previous designation as a less-regulated information service.
Reclassification brought with it common carrier regulations, which the FCC tailored to apply to the Internet. However, critics equate the rules with burdensome utility-style regulations.
Companies like AT&T, Verizon and Comcast, who own the cables that transfer Internet traffic to and from customers' homes, have blasted the FCC for subjecting a dynamic service like the Internet to regulations that were originally designed to regulate monopoly telephone companies.
Today's oral arguments come at a time when net neutrality advocates are stoking their base ahead of a government spending debate. However unlikely, advocates have increasingly warned about a net neutrality rider slipping into the spending bill, and have encouraged supporters to inundate lawmakers' offices with calls.
The crux of the arguments will focus on whether Congress left it to the FCC to determine the classification of Internet service and whether the FCC's apparent reversal is justified by the facts on the ground.

"The WiLD Wakeup with Mike in the Morning" with host Mike Ipong joins WiLD 104.9 for mornings from 6:00-10:00 a.m., and debuted Thursday in the slot formerly held by "The Joey and Heather Morning Show".
Nugget, Heather and Joey

USA Radio Networks To Launch "Trending Today"
USA Radio Networks has announced the launching of "Trending Today USA" hosted by radio talk veteran Rusy Humphries.
Humphries is also Senior VP/Programming. The show will focus on the social buzz.
"This program will focus on what America is discussing, viewing, and sharing in social media," Humphries stated. "It will breathe life into a format aching for resuscitation."
Rusty Humphries currently hosts the Rusty Humphries Rebellion podcast at the Washington Times. The program focuses on political issues, personalities, and comment.
Humphries is a musician with four recorded albums under his belt, stretching from 1993 to 2000. As a media personality with experience in music, radio, and online media, his career has crossed boundaries with unusual range. He joined USA Radio Networks the same week in which that network was acquired by Liftable Media, a social curation site that funnels buzz-worthy stories to targeted audiences. "The potential of USA RADIO NETWORKS is now unlimited," Humphries said at the time. "People who believe 'radio is dead' should watch what we are doing; they will quickly change their minds."
About the Trending Today USA program now in development, Humphries said he is more proud of it than anything else he has done in radio. Its thesis is that consumers are consuming more news than ever, but doing it on social platforms. Acting as a barometer and curator of trending buzz therefore puts radio where the listeners are, as a dynamic and relevant destination.
Curating virality is big business. Buzzfeed, Reddit, and other sites use different methods of producing socially distributed news, from crowdsourcing to original journalism. Traditional newsrooms like Fox and CNN produce "trending now" sections. In music, Spotify, YouTube, and most other on-demand services issue viral/trending playlists.
Humphries is putting radio, a real-time medium, into the "trending now" mix as a bet that traditional over-the-air broadcast can be as fast and whip-smart as the speedy online platforms.
Mike & the Mad Dog Reunite For Benefit
Fans have been clamoring for a Mike Francesa and Chris Russo reunion almost since the day they broke up seven years ago. On March 30, they finally will get their wish.
Francesa and Russo announced during a joint, commercial-free, 40-minute appearance on WFAN 660 AM / 101.9 FM and SiriusXM Satellite Radio Thursday that "Mike and the Mad Dog" will reunite for a one-time-only fundraising show at Radio City Music Hall.
Proceeds will go to The Garden of Dreams Foundation, which benefits programs and charities that help children facing various obstacles, including physical and financial.
Francesa and Russo, who were partners on WFAN for 19 years before breaking up when Russo left for SiriusXM, said they were approached by Madison Square Garden officials, including executive chairman James Dolan, and agreed to do the show together.
Francesa said the tickets would start at $50 and include more expensive options with perks such as a meet-and-greet with the stars. Although tickets are not yet on sale, Francesa said fans could reserve them at RadioCity.com/gardenofdreams. Shortly thereafter, that site crashed, presumably from volume. Minutes after the announcement the term "Mike and the Mad Dog" was trending nationally on Twitter.
Francesa said the Garden would handle all expenses associated with the event, allowing 100 percent of proceeds to benefit the foundation. He said the show would run up to 2 ½ hours without a break and feature big-name guests that are yet to be announced.
"No Rockettes," Francesa said, adding he and Russo would "take over the famed Radio City Music Hall for the entire night – the whole building, it's ours."
Newsday reports Francesa said he and Russo got permission from both of their companies to work together and from CBS Radio to use the name of the old show. He said they would make several joint appearances in the coming months – both on the radio and in person – to promote the event.
NJ Radio: Bob Levy Retires From Daily WOBM AM Show
Bob Levy
Townsquare Media New Jersey has announced that Bob Levy, morning host for News Talk Radio WOBM 1160 AM & 1310 AM will enter into semi-retirement and step down from the 'Bob & Marianne in the Morning' program after 18 years.
Bob has been with WOBM since its inception in 1968 and has been an integral part of the brand's popularity and success.
The original Sales Manager for sister station WOBM 92.7 FM, Levy also went on to serve as the Sports Director, General Manager and well known on-air personality with his show 'Topic A', one of Ocean County's most listened to shows since 1979.
In 2012, Levy was inducted as a charter member into the New Jersey Broadcasters Association Hall of Fame. Levy is also a member of the Lakewood High School Hall of Fame and is the namesake of the Bob Levy Broadcast Center where all of Townsquare Media New Jersey Shore stations operate – a tribute to his years of dedicated service.
Bob will remain with Townsquare Media and retain his duties as host of 'Topic A' on News Talk Radio WOBM-AM 1160 & 1310 and 92.7 WOBM, a show he has hosted for the past 36 years every Sunday from 7AM-11AM.
Market President Don Dalesio commented, "Bob is synonymous with the WOBM brand, having made major contributions that built the heritage of both stations over his storied broadcast career. No one local on air personality has captivated such a large audience for so many years like Bob has. After 48 years, we are thrilled that he will now pull the throttle back, of course on his terms!"
Levy's wife and co-host Marianne Levy will transition from 'Bob & Marianne in the Morning' to 'Preferred Company with Joel Markel', a show she has also been co-hosting for the past 3 years.
WOBM 1160 AM (5,000 Kw-D, 8,900-N)
That program will expand from one hour to two and will air weekdays from 8:00AM-10:00AM.
Townsquare Media also announced the addition of a brand new show: 'Wake Up With Jeremy Grunin', hosted by Toms River native, business, civic and non-profit community leader Jeremy Grunin. The program will focus on issues and events happening at the Jersey Shore and will air weekdays from 5:30AM-8:00AM.
"Taking over a time slot previously held by a radio icon like Bob Levy and leading in to another local legend like Marianne Levy is a daunting task. I can't begin to replace what they have given to listeners for so many years, but rather hope to bring a different point of view and flavor to the WOBM listening audience", Grunin commented.
The final 'Bob & Marianne in the Morning' program will be on Friday, December 18th with the new programming schedule set to begin on Monday, January 4th.
Seattle Radio: KKWF's Fitz Again Named Best Personality

The online contest is decided by popular vote and 2012 marks the 5th consecutive year that Fitz has grabbed the top spot in the poll. "Wow!" was Fitz's response to the news. "I am honored and humbled by the outpouring of love. I live and breathe this show and I am just glad it has a place in the heart of our audience."
Fitz's show was recently added to sister station KWJJ 99.5 The Wolf in Portland and the radio personality is also the host of the nationally syndicated Powered By Country, a weekend countdown show.
"Amazing!" was Fits's response, "I am truly honored and so grateful. I will put my audience against anyone. They truly are the most loyal listeners in radio. I live and breathe this show and am thrilled that it continues to have a place in the heart of our audience."
O'Reilly Confronts Trump On 'Cheering Muslims' Claim
Bill O'Reilly confronted Donald Trump tonight over his 9/11 "cheering" claim after he fact-checked it and found insufficient evidence to back him up, reports Mediaite.
There was one local WCBS-TV2 news report about individuals in New Jersey cheering that was flagged by authorities, but O'Reilly told Trump there's nothing to bolster "thousands." He told Trump that was "wrong," but said of course celebrations did occur.
Trump repeatedly defended himself by citing a Breitbart article declaring Trump to be "100% vindicated." That article says based on one line in a news report about an apartment building "swarming with suspects," combined with a few other reports, you can easily get to the "thousands" Trump claimed (the writer of that piece apologized for initially doubting Trump).
O'Reilly again told Trump it was only "some people, not thousands." Trump said "you don't know that," and O'Reilly shot back, "I'm pretty confident."
CableTV Ratings: Shootings Increased Viewers
Cable news networks clocked enormous ratings increases yesterday when a married couple gunned down 14 at a holiday party in San Bernardino, California, killing 14 and injuring another 21, fled in an SUV and died in a hail of bullets when police caught up to them.
According to deadline.com, across 2 PM ET Wednesday to 1 AM thursday, over which time the drama and careful investigation of the killers' house unspooled, Fox News Channel logged an average of 3.8M viewers. That audience is 129% bigger than the network experienced same day last week on Wednesday across those hours.
CNN, meanwhile, logged a whooping 280% increase, to 2.6M viewers, compared to the previous Wednesday. MSNBC averaged 1M viewers across those hours, a 111% increase vs. same day, same hours last week.
Holiday Movies Lift Hallmark Channel to Best Week Ever
Meanwhile, among all cable networks for the week of Nov. 23-29, Hallmark Channel ranked No. 2 in primetime total viewers (all-time high 2.48 million), behind only ESPN (3.45 million), and No. 1 in its target women 25-54 demo (516,000 or a 0.86 rating). It also placed No. 6 in adults 18-49 (517,000 or 0.41 rating) and No. 3 in women 18-49 (385,000 or 0.60 rating). In addition to the five new telepics, Hallmark also loaded up its week with encores of other original holiday movies, reports Variety.
Coldplay To Headline 2016 Super Bowl Half-Time Show
Global superstars Coldplay, winners of seven Grammy Awards, will perform at the PEPSI SUPER BOWL 50 HALFTIME SHOW on CBS Sunday, Feb. 7, 2016, the NFL announced Thursday during halftime of the Thursday Night Football game between the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions on CBS and NFL Network.
According to the NGL, Coldplay front man Chris Martin is designing a show that will echo elements of the NFL's On the Fifty campaign -- honoring the past, recognizing the present and looking ahead to the next 50 years, including other special artists. For the first-time ever, Pepsi will give fans behind-the-scenes access to how this monumental show will come together at Pepsi.com.
A Head Full of Dreams
Coldplay joins an esteemed list of recent halftime acts including Katy Perry, Bruno Mars, Beyoncé, Madonna, The Who, Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Prince, the Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, U2 and more.
Coldplay is one of the world's most popular musical acts, selling more than 80 million copies of their six No. 1 albums and garnering eight BRITs. The band's most recent world tour, 2011/12 Mylo Xyloto, was seen by more than three million people in five continents.
Today, Dec. 4, the band releases their highly anticipated widescreen seventh album, A Head Full Of Dreams -- available worldwide for fans to download on iTunes.
Super Bowl 50 marks Pepsi's fourth year as title sponsor of the Super Bowl Halftime Show, and 14th year as an NFL partner. Pepsi and the NFL have teamed again to provide fans with a halftime experience worthy of pop-culture's biggest stage.
It's Helton And Shelton Together On CC USA
Country star Blake Shelton co-hosts this weekend's edition of Country Countdown USA, the second of a special two-week edition.
Shelton talked to Lon Helton about why 2015 has been both the worst and best year of his life. He also reveals who he stayed with while he was going through his divorce. Plus, Shelton mentions what's been consuming all his time and energy during the past year.
R.I.P.: Scott Weiland of Stone Temple Pilots
(Reuters) -- Rock singer Scott Weiland, the troubled ex-frontman for the band Stone Temple Pilots, died during a tour stop with his new band the Wildabouts in Minnesota, according to a statement posted to his Facebook page late on Thursday.
Weiland, 48, died in his sleep while on tour in Bloomington, south of Minneapolis, according to the statement. His death also was reported by TMZ.com and Billboard.
The California-born singer, who had acknowledged a long history of substance abuse, was kicked out of Stone Temple Pilots in 2013 for what his bandmates' attorney called "destructive behavior." He also performed with the group Velvet Revolver for a number of years.
Weiland, known for his growling vocals and shock of dyed red hair, came to symbolize the early 1990s grunge era as lead singer and lyricist for the Stone Temple Pilots. Adept at altering his vocal style, he sometimes sang through a megaphone at concerts.
Weiland's Facebook page gave no details about the circumstances of his death.
Bloomington police said in a statement they received a call reporting an unresponsive man in a recreational vehicle on Thursday night and that officers who went to the site found he was dead. Police withheld the man's name, pending an investigation by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office and the local Sheriff's Office.
Stone Temple Pilots, also known as STP, was co-founded by Weiland in the late 1980s and went on to score such guitar-heavy hits as "Plush" in 1993 and "Interstate Love Song" the following year.
The band broke up in 2003 but reunited five years later only to collapse in acrimony again in February 2013 when Weiland's bandmates - Dean DeLeo, Robert DeLeo and Eric Kretz - forced him out.

What's greater than an Alligator?
In math resource land there has been a controversy this year: to gimmick or not to gimmick.
It is pretty obvious where I stand on this issue -I LOVE GIMMICKS.
Well, actually, I love gimmicks for people who love gimmicks. For people who don't not like gimmicks, please do not use them!
Life is short, let's not waste anyone's time.
The issue that started this controversy was the Alligator trick. Just know now, that I LOVE the alligator trick! At one point I even considered throwing an alligator into King David's moat.
The alligator eats the biggest number- easy! Alligators are greedy that makes total sense. Personally, it is much more forthright than the "trick" of counting one dot at the corner and 2 dots at the tips of the lines and then comparing the two numbers. That helpful hint does not work for the way my brain is wired. It requires me to think LONGER and brings me no joy.
Some people will argue that the purpose of math is not to bring JOY. Well, I respectfully disagree.
We are all wired differently, that's what makes the world so interesting.
As teachers and facilitators it is our job to find what works for each child with love and joy.
Research now supports that PLAY helps retain information and solidify understanding.
So PLAY with your math!


A Pony's Eye (2015) graphite and water colour.
Just as I promised… a horsey picture! This is one of my latest paintings that I did not show you yet. It gives you an idea of what I am working on lately. This work is called 'A Pony's Eye' and takes me straight into a pony's dreamworld 🙂 More to come!!
Wow thank you ❤ !!

Chinese New Year celebrations are more than just visiting relatives and friends' homes. During the CNY period, you will find most people spending their time watching movies in the cinemas as well. From both Cantonese and Mandarin-language movies to some of the Hollywood blockbusters, here are the 8 movies you might want to check out this upcoming Chinese New Year season.
The Story: Adapted from Joe DiPietro's 1996 Off-Broadway musical of the same name, this Cantonese-language version celebrates the theme of love and relationships involving different characters.
The Buzz: Wong Cho-Lam is no stranger to most TVB fans, having appeared in comedies like "Gilded Chopsticks" (2014) and "Super Snoops" (2011). This movie would mark the directorial debut for the acclaimed comedian and it's not every day we get to see a feel-good musical comedy during the Chinese New Year season. Not to mention it boasts with an all-star ensemble cast including Wong Cho-Lam himself, Eric Tsang, Teresa Mo and Ivana Wong.
The Story: This third and final chapter of "How To Train Your Dragon" trilogy revolves another adventure between Hiccup (voiced by Jay Baruchel) and his beloved dragon, Toothless, who discovers his soulmate in the form of a white Light Fury dragon.
The Buzz: Arriving just in time during the Chinese New Year season, this hugely-popular DreamWorks animation franchise is bound to be a crowd-pleaser for both adults and kids alike.
The Story: Jackie Chan headlines this big-budget martial arts fantasy comedy as a legendary demon hunter on a mission to save humanity against the invading beasts.
The Buzz: Jackie Chan's track record of appearing in effects-heavy action genre isn't particularly encouraging. But it's hard to ignore a Jackie Chan film that comes out during the crowded Chinese New Year season.
The Story: "A Lifetime Treasure" revolves around the life surrounding these individuals (among them are Andrew Lam's Master, Ivana Wong's Ching, Teddy Robin's Teddy and Sammo Hung's Fatty Crab) in an elderly home. One day, a gangster named Marvin (Lam Suet) shows up to exact revenge against Master.
The Buzz: No Chinese New Year movie would be complete without a wacky all-star comedy and Andrew Lam's "A Lifetime Treasure" certainly fits the bill. This is the kind of comedy that allows you to sit back and enjoy all the fun and laughter. It helps too with the veteran cast consisting the likes of Teddy Robin, Sammo Hung and Richard Ng.
The Story: This latest Jack Neo's action comedy follows two professional killers (Jay Shih and Lin Yu-Chih), who are both looking to retire for good after one last mission. Unfortunately, they soon find themselves being hunted by their own enemies.
The Buzz: Boasting a popular Taiwanese cast including ex-Awaking member Jay Shih, actor-host Lin Yu-Chih and actress-singer Amber An, "Killer Not Stupid" will blend an entertaining mix of action and Jack Neo's signature brand of comedy.
The Story: Based on Yukito Kishiro's "Battle Angel Alita" manga series, this live-action/CG hybrid animation follows the titular character (Rosa Salazar) embarking on a journey in a post-apocalyptic world to find out the truth about her identity.
The Buzz: Two words: James Cameron. Once a pet project developed for over a decade, it was originally slated to be his next directorial effort but "Avatar" sequels happened. Although the movie is now under the hands of director Robert Rodriguez ("Desperado", "Spy Kids" trilogy and "Sin City"), Cameron is still attached as both co-writer and co-producer.
The Story: This time, Emmet (voiced by Chris Pratt) embarks on an intergalactic mission to save Wyldstyle (Elizabeth Banks) and the rest of his friends, who are all kidnapped by the mini-doll General Sweet Mayhem (Stephanie Beatriz).
The Buzz: Expect more colourful adventure, pop-culture references and vibrant animation in this much-anticipated sequel to 2014's award-winning original.
The Story: The movie follows an ICAC investigation on the smuggled cigarettes led by veteran agent Lau Ching-Wan.
The Buzz: Alan Mak's ("Infernal Affairs" and "Overheard" trilogy) highly-anticipated ICAC-themed crime drama is probably the kind of movie most Hong Kong movie fans are looking forward to, unlike the one haphazardly presented in David Lam's "Storm" series. The movie also features a stellar cast of veterans including Lau Ching-Wan, Nick Cheung and the long-missed Karena Lam.


There seems to be a hint of fall in the air around here lately, and there are just no words to describe how excited that makes me! I'm starting to feel so refreshed and inspired!
I have a recipe to share today that has been one of my all time favorites, but now with a (healthy) twist! It's also a bit of a fall-ish recipe. So even though I meant to post it months ago, it just seems more fitting to do it now that things are cooling down.
I recently re-vamped my mom's apple cake recipe and made it a little more guilt-free! Now I know, cake is cake, but this is one you can feel a little better about. (Especially that second piece!) This was the cake I always requested on my birthday, and then several more times each year. So I thought, if I can eat it a little more often, and still feel good about what I'm putting in my body, then I would be one happy camper!
Peel and chop your apples. In a large mixing bowl, combine your apples and your agave. Add the rest of your dry ingredients, and stir well!
In a separate bowl, beat your eggs, oil, and vanilla. Stir the egg mixture into your apple mixture, blending until thoroughly moistened. Stir in the pecans.
Grease a 9x13 inch pan, and pour batter in. It will be thick, and you will probably need to spread it out a little with a spatula. Bake it for 40-50 minutes, or until cake springs back when lightly pressed.
And there you have it! I love using whole wheat pastry flour, because you still get the same benefits of whole wheat, but with a lighter texture, and I think we can all get on board with that! Plus, you could play around with your sweetener and oil if you want to try to make it even healthier. I've made it with coconut oil, and that turned out great!
I love this stuff any time of day. Go ahead, have a piece for breakfast, I won't judge! ;) It goes great with coffee, or ice cream, or caramel sauce, or just about anything you want it to go with.
