Dallas Davidson has written or co-written hundreds of songs that have landed on dozens of albums by Nashville's top artists, from traditionalists like Jamey Johnson to ultra-mainstream best friend Luke Bryan. Close to 50 percent of those cuts have been picked as singles; many, many of those have been hits; and 22 in particular have gone all the way to Number One, including "That's My Kind of Night" and "Country Girl (Shake It for Me)" for Bryan, "Boys 'Round Here" for Blake Shelton, and "Runnin' Outta Moonlight" for Randy Houser.
But the song the Georgia native most identifies with at the moment is one he didn't even write — "Mr. Misunderstood" by Eric Church.
"Absolutely, I'm misunderstood," says Davidson emphatically, noting he cranks up the tune whenever he hears it on the radio. "I think people have an assumption about me that I'm all about commercial, and I can say, I'm naturally commercial. I don't try to do that, it just comes out that way."
Songs like the aforementioned hits and others, including Bryan's current chart-climber "Huntin', Fishin' and Lovin' Everyday," which feature lyrics about rural life, come naturally to Davidson and his co-writers the way opining about love does to other songwriters.

Davidson, a late bloomer who didn't pick up a guitar until 24 and came to Nashville in 2004, two years after his hometown buddy Bryan, believes being pigeon-holed by the sound of his hits as opposed to judged for the breadth of his catalog is not an anomaly. "I think most songwriters are misunderstood, I'm not singling myself out. The ones that are making money — if I'm being honest — we're all misunderstood because people hate on you, that's just the nature of the beast. It doesn't matter if I sold real estate" — which Davidson used to do. "If you're on top of your game," he says, "people are going to hate on you."
Indeed, everyone loves to pick on the Peach Picker — the name of his songwriting trio with fellow Georgians Rhett Akins and Ben Hayslip. But Davidson has made peace with people criticizing the sometimes formulaic quality of his hit songs or saying things like he's "ruining country music."
"If I worried about that, I might as well go dive off the Flint River Bridge because I hear that shit every day," he says.
The burly tunesmith and sometime performer admits that he wasn't always so Zen about the flack he received, or the fact that he could co-write a song like "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk" with Johnson and Houser but only his credibility seemed to take a hit for it with the purists.
"I can honestly say I used to let it bother me," Davidson says, noting it was particularly galling that he felt his critics never sought out the songs that might give him more credibility as a writer in their eyes — the album cuts or singles that are worlds away from his bro-country hit list. "They don't want to hear the stuff they would actually appreciate," he adds, listing "I Don't Dance" by Lee Brice, "Just a Kiss" by Lady Antebellum, "If Heaven Wasn't So Far Away" by Justin Moore, and "Touchdown Jesus" by Tim McGraw as among the more substantive. "People forget all about that stuff, quickly."
When two lesser-known Frankie Ballard tracks — "Sober Me Up" and "Tell Me You Get Lonely" — are mentioned as evidence that Davidson isn't strictly about tailgates and dirt roads, he agrees. "They're a little grittier and more representative of who I am if I was to be an artist, but they're not commercial. I don't make money off of those songs unfortunately. I've got to write 'Country Girl (Shake It for Me)' if I'm going to get paid," he says.
The big pile of money he has made surely helps soften any critical blows, but on that financial point he only laughs and offers, "I have no comment on that." Davidson says that he understands all of his songs may not be for everyone, but is glad that they have reached an appreciative audience.
"He's a big reason I moved to town," says Cole Swindell, who hails from the same part of Georgia as Davidson and Bryan. "I remember being with him the night before he moved and thinking, 'This guy is crazy, he's moving to Nashville.' And then look what he did. He works so hard, and he's a fun person to be around. Whether it's a serious song or a fun song, all of his songs make you feel something."
If Davidson believes he was misunderstood previously, he's about to further complicate his image with "Country Boy Swagger," his forthcoming release as a performing artist. It will either be an EP or full album, out later this year, that collects the collaborative songs that Davidson recorded with a group of hip-hop artists last fall, including Mannie Fresh, Mystikal and Big Boi. The Outkast member appears on Davidson's upcoming single "Laid Back," out Friday. The piano and beat-heavy track sounds like a bizarre but catchy mash-up of Bruce Hornsby and Uncle Kracker, features Davidson and Maggie Rose on vocals, and a provocative rap interlude from Big Boi.
"I know, right, what am I doing?" asks Davidson, chuckling about the always polarizing concept of combining country and hip-hop. But for the love-him-or-hate-him songwriter, creativity is all about doing what he wants — without worrying about who understands.
We asked Davidson to reflect on some of his songs, from Bryan's new single to the notorious "Badonkadonk."
"Huntin', Fishin' and Lovin' Everyday," Luke Bryan
(Written with Luke Bryan, Rhett Akins and Ben Hayslip during Bryan's recent Farm Tour. Davidson appears in the song's video.)
"The Peach Pickers is Rhett, Ben and myself. When Luke joins us we're called the Peanut Pickers because Luke's daddy was a peanut farmer," says Davidson. "I can say that this is my favorite song I have ever written, 100 percent, because it really reflects my life. I'm at my farm right now, it's turkey season and I've got two of my buddies from Georgia here and this is the ninth year we've done it and we've turkey hunted all day today. When I'm not working writing, I am in the woods. To write a song that nails who me and Luke are, when I hear it on the radio I'm like, 'Hell, yeah!' I never thought it was going to be a single; I thought it would get shoved in the back because it's called 'Huntin' and Fishin" and not everybody's okay with that. But they put it out and I'm so glad. It's not about hunting and fishing — it's just about enjoying your life."
"Honky Tonk Bandonkadonk," Trace Adkins
(Written with Jamey Johnson and Randy Houser)
"I think I met him the third day I moved to Nashville," says Davidson of next-door neighbor and future brother-in-law Houser, his co-writer on "Badonkadonk," Davidson's breakthrough hit. "That song was born at the Wildhorse Saloon. Rob Hatch, our good buddy, was a bartender at the time and we didn't have any money so we'd go there and he'd give us free drinks. We were on the third floor and there was a line dance going down on the bottom floor and there was this one girl who was very noticeable and Randy said, 'Man, that's a honky-tonk bandonkadonk!' A couple months later we finally got together to write it. I don't care how silly that song is, there was some redneck poetry in there. Just because it's a novelty song doesn't mean it doesn't resonate with people."
"I Don't Dance," Lee Brice (Written with Lee Brice and Rob Hatch)
"Lee and Rob Hatch came over and we were in the pool chilling, and Lee grabbed my guitar and started playing that little groove," says Davidson of the CMA-nominated song. "I had that title in my phone and I threw it out. Lee was about to get married and good ol' Southern boys, we don't dance, we're too cool for that. Or clumsy. So that's how that was born and it became his wedding song. That's one I was really proud of."
"Play It Again," Luke Bryan
(Written with Ashley Gorley)
"I love writing with Ashley because he does this and I do that and then we get to the best melody and blend it. That was just Ashley playing piano, which is what we always do — I set my guitar down and let him play piano because it's fresh and inspiring melodically and it seems like lyrics fly out of my mouth and his mouth especially. We just started making something out of thin air," says Davidson. "And then the lines, 'She was sittin' all alone over on the tailgate / tan legs swingin' by a Georgia plate.' I'm from Georgia so when I write a lyric like that, immediately Luke can latch onto it. So do I write with him in mind? Kind of. . . But I think it needs to be more natural than 'trying to write a Luke Bryan' song.'"
"That's My Kind of Night," Luke Bryan
(Written with Ashley Gorley and Chris DeStefano)
Reviled by some but hugely successful, this song was straightforward in its inspiration: This is how we like to have fun. "Yeah, pretty simple, right?" says Davidson. "I just wanted to write a song about that. We were trying to write something fresher than what people had already heard on the radio. And with DeStefano playing those crazy licks, it perked me up and made me want to bring my A-game that day. That song could be called 'bro-country,' but if you listen to that lyric, that song is country as pig shit."
"Country Girl (Shake It for Me)," Luke Bryan
(Written with Bryan)
"That's Luke watching his crowd and watching those girls out there shaking it," says Davidson. "Golly, we wrote that thing a long time ago. That was all Luke's groove. I do remember that I had to talk him into playing it for [the record company.] I said, 'Please play it, it's a hit.' And the rest is history."
"Sober Me Up" and "Tell Me You Get Lonely," Frankie Ballard
(Written with Ashley Gorley and Marty Dodson respectively)
"Frankie cut some of my favorite songs. I didn't even realize this until now," says Davidson. "Unfortunately, when you write a song you're proud of it doesn't typically get much attention with radio. But when Frankie cut ["Sober Me Up"], that was a big deal. Even though he was a new guy, he got it. He had probably been there. And 'Tell Me You Get Lonely' had a grit to it. It was a man being a little vulnerable. We tried to be a little more honest in that song and wear our heart on our sleeve that day. Those songs you're proud of them, they just don't make any money. But that's not why we write songs. We write songs to get to those good ones that we can latch onto and hopefully change somebody's day or life."

Even small populations of the brown marmorated stink bug can cause serious economic injury, and the numbers grow rapidly.
A monitoring trap in a commercial apple orchard drew large numbers of bugs. Some traps attracted 2,000 bugs.
The brown marmorated stinkbug, Halyomorpha halys, is rapidly becoming more than a nuisance, a curiosity, and a bug with a funny name. It's a disaster for those who are experiencing it—and it's coming your way, wherever you are.
It did major damage to orchards in the Mid-Atlantic region in 2010—especially in Pennsylvania, where it destroyed more than half of the peach crop. It's now in 27 states, including the Pacific Northwest, where it's sitting on the fringe of the fruit-producing area of Oregon and not far from Washington State.
In six states of the Mid-Atlantic area—Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, New Jersey, and Delaware—the bug has reached epidemic levels. It has growers extremely worried. It was the subject of at least one session at every horticulture show in the East this winter.
George Behling, a fruit grower in Gerrardstown, West Virginia, said: "This bug has the potential to affect the food supply of the whole country." While that sounds like exaggeration, the bug is attacking not just fruit crops like apples, grapes, peaches, and raspberries, it takes on vegetable crops and field crops, like corn and soybeans. It's polyphagous, feeding on more than 300 plants, preferring fruit but eating foliage, too.
Marmorated, by the way, refers to the color, the brown-flecked coffee-with-cream color of marble.
Michigan State University entomologist Dr. Larry Gut called it "quite a beast" as he described it to growers in northwest Michigan last month. What sent a chill down his spine was hearing one Mid-Atlantic grower say he's sprayed 19 times for the stinkbug—and still had 40 percent damage on his apples.
"We have to kill the adults," Gut said. "There are not many chemicals now that target adult insects." While the bug was not yet reported in Michigan, Gut can't believe it wasn't there, since it's in both Ohio and Indiana. Two weeks later, it was found in Michigan, having been collected earlier but not identified.
With other pests, entomologists have been able to find a critical time in the life cycle to target with controls. But this bug feeds on fruit throughout its nymphal and adult phases, Polk said, and every phase is present in orchards at the same time—eggs, five nymphal instars, and adults. It loves grapes, settling in the clusters at harvest time. Will that taint juice or wine? Initial reports are that ten bugs in a lug of grapes can be tasted in the juice. That's being investigated by viticulturist Dr. Joe Fiola at the University of Maryland. Blueberries are another fruit easily tainted by bugs in the harvested fruit, Polk said.
The bug has spread rapidly. It flies well and hitchhikes easily. Entomologists across the entire eastern United States are on alert, working with it now or expecting its arrival soon. USDA says it's been found in 27 states—including the Pacific Northwest, 3,000 miles from its thought-to-be 1996 introduction site in Allentown, Pennsylvania, where it probably arrived in a container from Asia.
In Asia, its numbers are kept somewhat under control naturally, but it's an exotic, invasive species in the United States and running out of control.
These Golden Supreme apples came out of cold storage this winter, with damage showing up that wasn't visible earlier.
Mark Seetin, director of regulatory and industry affairs for the U.S. Apple Association, surveyed apple storages in the Mid-Atlantic area earlier this winter after receiving reports of problems in stored apples.
Growers didn't see damage when the apples went into cold storage, but when they pulled them out, some were damaged so severely they wouldn't make juice grade, Seetin said.
The bug feeds on apples all season long, beginning in early May as overwintered adults enter orchards to feed on developing fruit. Late in the season, during the preharvest interval when sprays aren't used, it feeds, usually at the top of the apple near the stem. What start out as tiny pinpricks from a bug's piercing-sucking mouthparts become sunken bitter-pit–like depressions, with white corky tissue that turns brown and internal brown streaks heading toward the core. The bug injects its saliva when it feeds, and the saliva magnifies the injury.
Seetin's view: "Imagine a pack of hungry teenage boys descend on your house and open the refrigerator. They eat everything, sweet stuff first, and then move to the next house.
A Pink Lady apple, cut in early September, dramatically shows the feeding damage from brown marmorated stinkbug.
Dr. Tracy Leskey, an entomologist at the Appalachian Fruit Research Station in Kearneysville, West Virginia, is one of the leaders of the Brown Marmorated Stinkbug Working Group, many members of which are collaborating in applying for a massive grant and planning or carrying out a number of studies. Her own lab is evaluating pesticides for efficacy and submitting results to a FIFRA (Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide) Section 18 working group for evaluation. Her group will soon begin evaluating the bug's responses to wavelengths and intensities of light.
Damage in commercial orchards affected by the bug has reached critical levels with some growers losing entire blocks of stone fruit, and with severe injury also being detected in apples and Asian pears, she reported.
Even small populations can cause serious economic injury if left unchecked. Aggressive spraying appears to reduce economic injury, but concerns regarding IPM programs and resistance management must be carefully considered.
Three stinkbugs marched together across Leskey's keyboard the day of our interview, and she's routinely hit in the head by flying stinkbugs—in her office in West Virginia. "Our offices are infested," she said. They provide a constant reminder to stay on task, she added, jokingly.

The American Civil Liberties Union of New Hampshire works to reform the criminal justice system and make the promise of fair treatment a reality for all people. Especially in the face of economic crisis, our government should invest in alternatives to incarceration and make prisons options of last – not first – resort.
There are 2.3 million people behind bars in this country — that is triple the amount of prisoners we had in 1987 — and 25 percent of those incarcerated are locked up for drug offenses. Taxpayers spend almost $70 billion a year on corrections and incarceration. It is un-American to stand idly by and tolerate our government locking up so many people and squandering public resources to do so.
Through litigation, advocacy, and public education, we work to ensure conditions of confinement are constitutional and consistent with health, safety, and human dignity. Our goals include substantially reducing the existing incarcerated population, especially among people of color, the mentally ill, and other vulnerable populations; ending cruel, inhumane, and degrading conditions of confinement; increasing public accountability and transparency of jails, prisons, and other places of detention; and expanding prisoners' freedom of religion, expression, and association. Achieving these goals will result in a criminal justice system that respects individual rights and increases public safety for everyone at greatly reduced fiscal cost.
It is time to improve our criminal justice system and invest in alternative solutions which are more effective than lengthy sentences. We must reduce the number of people who needlessly enter prison in the first place. In America, our criminal justice system should keep communities safe and treat people fairly, regardless of the color of their skin or the size of their bank account. In order for our system to do a good job, it must be cost-effective by using our taxpayer dollars and public resources wisely in an evidence-based, rather than fear-based, manner.
ACLU-NH is committed to reforming the criminal justice system and working collaboratively to find alternative solutions to incarceration.

Home > All > New High-Brightness Front and Rear Automotive Lighting Module
LG | Automotive | LED Modules | Apr 26, 2021
New High-Brightness Front and Rear Automotive Lighting Module
LG Innotek (CEO Cheol-dong Jeong) announced on the 20th that it had developed 'Nexlide-E,' an automotive lighting module that produces bright and uniform light.
* Brightness improved by 63%. Applicable to the front/rear of an automobile.
* 0.2mm thick optical film is used to produce a customized lighting module.
* Target the global market with "the automotive light source solution service."
This automotive lighting module is made of three parts. An LED package, which is a light source, is mounted on a thin substrate. Then, optical resin covers the package and substrate for protection. Lastly, a thin optical film is attached on top of the package to spread the light brightly and evenly. The module can be used as taillights, stop lamps, and headlights.
The Nexlide is LG Innotek's automotive lighting service brand that has the meaning of a next-generation light source. The name was produced by combining the words 'Next,' 'Lighting,' and 'Device.' LG Innotek provides automotive lighting module products as well as customized solutions such as optical device design, lighting design proposal, and more with the Nexlide brand.
The Nexlide-E is 63% brighter than the previous product and produces more uniform light. LG Innotek applied a high-performance and high-reliability optical film to improve the lighting performance. The company's micropatterning technique was used in the film to give a variety of lighting effects.
Due to its brightness, this lighting module can replace multiple automotive lamps with different brightness standards into one module. This can improve space efficiency and allow more design variations of a vehicle's lamps.
The maximum brightness of the Nexlide-E has been raised from 80 cd (candela, the unit of brightness) to 130 cd, making it 63% brighter than the previous product. This satisfies the brightness standard of taillights, turn signals, and stop lamps. The stop lamps have the most strict brightness standard. In Europe and North America, they are required to be 110 cd or higher. This is because stop lamps must be recognizable in any circumstances for driving safety.
The Nexlide-E is also power efficient, because the module is bright enough with a small amount of electricity. This is particularly important for electric and hydrogen vehicles in increasing their mileage range (corresponding to fuel economy in conventional vehicles). Also, car manufacturers can replace different lightings of a vehicle such as a taillight and stop lamp into one lighting module using the Nexlide-E. The product's high brightness makes this possible by satisfying the different brightness levels of taillights, stop lamps and turn signals.
As the number of lighting modules used decreases, car manufacturers can design slimmer and more compact lamps, and increase space efficiency by widening the trunk and such. The Nexlide-E also has the advantage in that it produces a uniformly bright light. Even as a wide lamp, it produces smooth and uniform light without blind spots or sudden breaks caused by lighting level drops.
To achieve such a bright and uniform light, LG Innotek developed a new optical film for the Nexlide-E. An only 0.2mm thick film produced with the company's unique micropatterning technique is attached to the automotive lighting module. Different types of the optical film create various lighting effects.
The micropatterns can be changed according to the type of optical film to increase brightness by collecting the beam, produce a surface light source by diffusing the light or even produce a three-dimensional light shape. With optical films, LG Innotek can produce customized lighting modules without complex design changes or using additional components such as an inner lens.
LG Innotek will leverage the Nexlide-E to expand its share in the automotive lighting module market. To do so, the company has been active in promotions targeting global car makers in the U.S., Japan, Europe and South Korea. The first vehicle equipped with the Nexlide-E is expected to be mass-produced in the latter half of this year.
LG Innotek is also focusing on the development of next-generation lighting products. The company is developing another type of optical film that further raises the brightness and uniformity of the light. It is also developing the Nexlide-C+, a 3D lighting module that produces 3D light shapes without any devices such as a half-mirror that assists 3D effects within a lamp.
"The Nexlide-E is an innovative product that satisfies the customer needs for distinctive automotive lighting designs that give characters to vehicles. With the Nexlide brand, LG Innotek will continue to deliver a safe and enjoyable driving experience with the automotive light source solution service."
–Insoo Ryu, VP, Head of the Automotive Components & Electronics Business Division
Global Market Insights, a market research institute, predicts that the automotive lighting market will grow from USD 32.6 billion in 2021 to USD 38.5 billion in 2026.

Jim Dine exhibition in Rome
From 19 May 2020 to 26 Jul 2020
Jim Dine retrospective at Palazzo delle Esposizioni until 26 July.
Rome's Palazzo delle Esposizioni pays tribute to Jim Dine, the celebrated American artist associated with Pop art and the Neo-Dada movement, with a major exhibition of around 60 works created between 1959 and 2016.
The Rome retrospective was produced in close collaboration with Dine whose innovative work has had such a significant impact on contemporary art, particularly on the Italian visual culture of the 1960s.
Jim Dine interview with Wanted in Rome
Curated by Daniela Lancioni, the exhibition comprises works on loan from public and private collections both in Europe and in the US, including works recently donated by the artist to the Centre Pompidou and Musée National d'Arte Moderne in Paris.

Although Dine is linked to Pop art movement, the artist is fiercely independent and remains difficult to "pigeonhole", refusing to identify with the various categories that have been ascribed to his style.
Highlights of the show includes the two 1960s paintings entitled A Black Shovel. Number 2 (1962) and Long Island Landscape (1963), together with Shoe dated 1961 and The Studio (Landscape Painting) dated 1963, both of which the artist entered in the Venice Biennale of 1964.

1. You can ONLY answer 'Yes' or 'No'.
What kind of gun did you point at somebody?
It was a Ruger .22 - but only as a stupid mistake, not with intent to harm.
So...do you care to explain any of those? I would love to hear the explanation for any you particularly want to explain. Especially the arrest and the handcuffs, but really anything else as well.
Got arrested as part of a protest.
I once dunped someone half-way through a 2-hour car trip, where he was the one driving - I don't recommend it.
The handcuffs, on the other hand? Just for fun. And I DO recommend them. Although the metal cop-type cuffs tend to leave marks. The soft fur-lined leather ones don't.
And back in the day I was the lead singer for a bluesy classic rock band. Didn't play out all that often, but we did actually get paid, so I suppose that makes me a professional.
Anything else you'd like to know, feel free to ask!
Tell me about your brush with death.
I've had several minor surgeries. The most interesting was when they went in through my nose to retrieve a scrap of lung tissue for testing. They hadn't given me enough anaestethic, to start with, and I lay there for a time, pain getting worse and worse, claustrophobic with all these hands around my face, listening to the doctor cuss out my tiny nasal passages, before reaking out and demanding more drugs.
I was streaking at college, through the halls of my dorm.
I once walked across a railroad trestle bridge, very high above the valley, and had to run for my life when the train appeared off schedule. Also slid down and almost off the roof of a building once, but caught myself on the rain gutter, which didn't quite come off.
OK, I'm really curious why you passed out when you weren't drinking and why you shaved your head.
Sunstroke once, and the flu another time.

The Night King rides a resurrected Viserion in one of five deetailed pop-up cards released by paper company Lovepop.
The five cards include "Daenerys and Drogon," "The Night King and Viserion," "The Iron Throne," "Weirwood" and "Euron's Ship." Lovepop creates the elements of these characters and scenery down to the smallest detail, including the red kraken's eye on Euron's menacing ship Silence to the leaves of the weirwood tree, Daenerys' flowing blonde hair and the outlines of the melted swords that make up the Iron Throne. The inclusion of the Silence was a forgone conclusion for the company; both co-founders also are trained shipbuilders.
Euron Grejoy's ship Silence rides the waves of a Lovepop card, one of five released by the paper company.
Lovepop uses a form of origami known as kirigami, in which the paper is cut instead of merely folded. The result is a stunning 3-D creation rich with detail.
The collection is available on HBO's website, as well as Lovepop.com.
$15 each or $50 for all five. I'll pass.
So pretty- going on my wishlist for Christmas.

Perhaps most intuitively, use promotional items as part of developing brand awareness, interest, and loyalty. Whether they are used as a contest giveaway or as a trade show gift, they give the person something tangible and useful, and act as a constant reminder of the good work of the firm that gave the items to them. This unconsciously, and sometimes consciously, translates to better business and can create some real walking advertisers who are passionate about the product, and share that with friends and family, inadvertently converting their loyalties and piquing the curiosity of strangers. Apparel of varying sorts does a great job of this, but keeping it practical and useful is always best.
Promotional items and rewards are a great way to get employees geared toward the company goals and brand. Not only will they become better advocates, they'll take that passion home and often dedicate personal time to company work. They make for great rewards and pieces of recognition, especially at awards banquets or other employee-oriented events. This can result in a great added productivity that is noticed by employers, as well as the customers that the employee works with. It's a win/win scenario for business and customer.
Just as it is important to have motivated employees interacting with customers, it doesn't hurt to equip them with a branded item of their own to take back with them. Business cards can be great, but they're easily filed away, tossed in the trash, potentially overlooked and lost, and that all translates into lost business. Consider sgifts or office related items to give a relevant, lasting, and constant reminder of your brand in a space they use regularly. Remember: Most customers don't want to be walking billboards for your products, so hold back on the company t-shirts, which are perhaps better targeted to employees.
Speaking of billboards, there are numerous ways to advertise your products and brand. While billboards and advertisements in other forms can be useful, they tend to come with high entry costs and lower memorability, and, thus, return. Branded items and promotional products can be conversation starters with a big bang for your buck. Not only are they physically tangible and more unique than a card, they're also fairly inexpensive and can make a greater impact for the amount invested. This could also mean greater outreach, and without having to break the bank! So perhaps get some unique sports gear or another memorable branded items to grab their attention.
What makes promotional items particularly useful is their tangibility and tactile nature. It's true of marketing that the more exposure, the better, and one way to do that is to ensure items that are useful and used often are the ones being promoted. Anything that reinforces the brand, and its message and goals, will be better for your business. When choosing an item, consider where and how it will be used to best pick something that achieves that goal. Association between a positive experience and those items can also have a transference effect, making item choice just that much more critical to acquiring or preserving a customer and their relationship with the firm.

Eiza González arrives with James Marsden at a Christmas party
MIAMI.- Eiza Gonzalez continues to conquer the hearts of Hollywood's leading men, and on this occasion he surprised many by arriving at the Christmas party of Leonardo Dicaprio accompanied by actor James Marsden.
The arrival of both drew the attention of the press and their followers, who did not hesitate to question whether Marsden is the new love of the Mexican actress.
However, González denied that there is anything more than a friendship between the two. "People have friends," Eiza commented. Although many continue to follow the track of this closeness between the two.
Eiza González has managed to sneak into Hollywood society, and has dated important figures in the film industry such as Liam Hemsworth, Josh Duhamel, Timothée Chalamet, Calvin Harris and Jason Momoawith whom he had an affair during this 2022.
On the romance with Momoa, the magazine People He pointed out that Eiza González began to have various appointments in search of establishing a much more serious relationship that is outside of labor issues, but rather sentimental, but this would already have ended.
"They are just very different people," says a person close to them. A second source confided to People in May that Eiza and Momoa had been dating since last February after meeting for work and mutual connections.
Who is Marden?
James Marsden is known for his portrayal of Cyclops in the X-Men saga, and he made his acting debut in 1993 as part of the cast of the series The Nanny, alongside actress Fran Drescher.
In 1998, Marsden jumped to the big screen with the film Disturbing Behavior, next to Katie Holmes; but it was not until the first decade of the 2000s that her face went around the world when she signed with Marvel to join the famous saga of mutant superheroes.
The actor has also been in prominent titles such as Zoolander, The Notebook, Superman returns and the Disney movie enchantedof which the second part has just been released.
Between 2000 and 2001 he was married to Lisa Linde, with whom he had two children, Jack Holden and Mary James.

Is Teleman England's best kept cult secret? Surely! Once dedicated to creating the perfect pop (indie-style) confections, they're now a robust four-piece with imaginative, solid musicianship around keyboards and guitars, all circling around frontman Tom Saunders' field-fresh vocals. After some more experimental outings, "Family of Aliens" sees them leaping back into bouncy, almost-dance-style, sparkling songs built around intelligent, evocative lyrics ("Dreams are going to drown you someday, you don't even know how deep you've gone"). Standout tracks include plaintive "Sea of Wine," the ear worm opening track, and the sweeping "Song for a Seagull." Not a dud track on this career best: buy and tap your foot and marvel!
I'm reviewing TV series in three tranches, namely whether to watch the first episode, then the first half of the season, then the final half. I think this mirrors how we approach a series. I rated Bosch Season 4's first episode as masterful but somehow lacking drama, and when I watched the next four episodes, this impression at first gained ground. Put simply, the many characters walked through their roles in a most complex intertwined plot, with much happening beyond the "Angel's Flight" murder of an anti-cop defendant. There was nothing at all to complain about: the series' maestros keep a logical grip on the plot, Titus Welliver inhabits the Bosch role (if also a little cockily over the first few episodes) and the supporting cast remains strong, the locales are very "Michael Connelly's LA," and the sense of intrigue remains high. Yet, yet, yet, I could not help feeling the "loose cannon" terrifying pulse of Connelly (and the first three TV seasons) was missing). Fortunately, in Episode 4, the season roars into life and we see that the first three episodes were all setup. No plot spoilers but a careening plot twist sends the entire story into dramatic freefall. Suddenly Welliver taps the deepest darkest heart of Harry Bosch and the other actors amp up, with Madison Lintz, playing Bosch's daughter, simply brilliant. My heart was in my mouth over both Episode 4 and 5 and man, I simply cannot wait to see the final half. What a triumph the Bosch series is!
Normal People threatened to rush past me, a book about young people in and out of love, a species of novel I rarely read, but rave opinions turned me round and I'm so glad they did. Set in Galway and Dublin, zigzagging between the lives of desperately "not normal" Marianne and Connell, the working class boy made good, as they weave in and out of each other's ranges, this sophomore novel by Sally Rooney is a stunner. I dare any reader not to be captivated by the immersive spell cast through dense dialogue, often mordant and savage, and inner yearnings. Not a word is wasted. With the plot leapfrogging a few months every chapter, my heart was gripped while I tried to anticipate twists that invariably surprised. The ending is sublime. Normal People restores my faith in relationship novels.
The Life to Come won this year's prestigious Miles Franklin Award and I can see why, for it's a formidable literary work. This is author Michelle de Kretser's second Miles Franklin and all six of her novels have gained critical acclaim as well as growing popularity. The Life to Come is her opus, a Tolstoyian cavalcade of five intermeshed characters: sharp-penned author George in Sydney; Sri Lankan Ash with Cassie; translator Celeste in Paris; my favorite character, endlessly ambitious wannabe writer Pippa, shallow yet somehow rapier eyed; and sluggish Sri Lankan spinster Christabel at home and then in Sydney. They know love, they experience aloneness, they interpret each other. The supporting cast of characters number in the dozens and the contemporary settings spring to life on the pages. de Kretser writes stunningly accomplished, dense yet light prose, at its best when savagely funny or acutely emotional. I've read most of her oeuvre and have oftentimes found the plots eventful but somehow sapped of drama, and a couple of the book's sections threatened to sag under the weight of not much, but the final two plot arcs are highly satisfying. An antidote to my more routine reading fare, The Life to Come is a rich work of art.
Even though I was an original Spiderman comic collector, I swore off superhero movies after Thor: Ragnarok, so unsophisticated it curdled my blood. But I'm glad I've returned to watch the latest entry from the Marvel world, Venom. Wonderfully directed by Fleischer and with Tom Hardy in top form as a slouchy, bumbling kind of hero who melds with a reptilian "symbiote," the movie hews close to its superhero-creation myth, a narrative that is both cliched and epic. The rest of the cast has little room to show nuance, but the script is deliciously tight and the dialogue is two notches better than the pap of other recent superhero outings. I classified the film into two parts, a portentous, creepy setup that worked well, and a "mismatched buddy" adventure starring jokey Hardy and jokey symbiote, which I also enjoyed, though the transition between these two halves jarred for a few minutes. Quite why they needed to portray the symbiotes as so excessively loony, instead of something more scary, Alien-style, I'm not sure, but it was easy to enjoy the usual CGI battles and amazing chase scenes. Not the most imaginative of entries into the crowded superhero universe, Venom nonetheless pleases with its fast pace and uncondescending intelligence.
Michael Lewis is Hercules to us geeks, someone who views the world through the lens of data and analysis, but with a storyteller's heroic gaze. His mind seems to range across the panoply of human ambitions and his approach is forensic yet his touch is light. The Fifth Risk at first seems to be a magazine commission's offshoot and something slight, a look at the havoc wrought by Trump's staggering disregard of the machinery of government, but as Lewis traipses down the corridors of DOE, USDA, DoC, NOAA and so on (let me baffle you with acronyms, so you head to buy this to check out what the public service heroes of America are really doing), one's jaw drops and then crashes to the floor. And Lewis, our shining light, is not, of course, merely cataloguing one president's wilful ignorance and disregard, he analyzes the nature of the societal risks posed by government's such as Trump's. Not only is The Fifth Risk endlessly fascinating, it is, as ever, a jaunty, deceptively casual and entertaining read. If you read one "tell me what Trump is really like" book in 2018, make it this one.
This review won't be of much use outside countries like Australia, where Season 4 of the outstanding TV series Bosch has just commenced showing, five months after the original U.S. release. But I'm an Aussie, so review it I must. Well, the first thing to fess up to is that I've been an unabashed fan of Michael Connelly's Bosch crime novels for a quarter century, and I was riveted by TV seasons 1 to 3, so I came to this viewing positively disposed. I haven't listed the director because the various episodes rotate any number of writers and directors, but I wonder if Aaron Lipstadt, who directs for the first time, is the reason I was immediately struck by a muted tone to the drama commencing with the shooting, at the top of a Bunker Hill funicular, of a defense attorney loathed by LA's police. The intrinsic plot is freighted with tension but plays out very much in police procedural style, and at the end I wasn't left with that ache, so familiar from the older seasons, that I simply had to binge watch the next one. Titus Welliver has grown ever more towering in the skin of Bosch, and the other ensemble actors cannot be faulted, but again, no performances stand out. The camerawork is tight without offering grandeur, the settings are LA-gorgeous, and the scripted dialogue is its usual gritty and sharp. Roll on, Episode 2, I say, but let's hope the mood lifts.
Author Skelton knows how to plot a book, especially one in which the hero, in this case an ex-member of an elite shadow operation, wakes up next to his dead girlfriend and finds himself on the run, pursued by the police and homicidal maniacs. The combination of breakneck action and espionage/mob strategies reminded me of Robert Ludlum, and The Janus Run almost breaks out into that elite category. Almost but not quite, for the writing style is choppy and the blur of action numbs one after a while, something that definitely shouldn't happen with such a thriller. Not everyone in the extensive cast of characters work as well as protagonist Coleman Lang but I was swept up within the New York City hunt and chase scenes, and enjoyed much of the darkly flavored dialogue. An enjoyable race to the end but oh, how good it could have been!

The court acquitted Chinese 21 years later after the execution
December 3, 2016 RR Society
A court in China has acquitted the man, who was executed 21 years ago for rape and murder. About it reports "Xinhua".
It clarifies the RIA Novosti, a man was arrested in October 1994 on charges of assaulting a resident of the city of Shijiazhuang in Hebei province.
A year later the court sentenced Not Shubina to death.
The acquittal was made on the basis of the testimony of the detainee in 2005, a serial killer who confessed to the crime eleven years ago.
He also sentenced to death, but his petition for clemency is pending still.
February 1 this year it became known that a court in China has brought to administrative responsibility 27 police and officials for judicial error 20 years ago, which led to the execution of a young man, also accused of murdering women.
Parents of the executed men has long sought a retrial, but the decision was taken only in 2014. The court offered them an apology and awarded compensation in the amount of 30 thousand yuan (about 5 thousand dollars).

Q: what is the lambda(^) operator in git I am trying to find the difference in commit history between two branches. I have found two options, out of the infinite possibilities in git, as of yet :
git log mynewbranch --not mymasterbranch

git log mynewbranch ^mymasterbranch

Are both these commands exactly the same? In my tests, they provide the exact same output.
Also I am guessing the ^ operator has some general meaning in git that can be applied in many different contexts to many different commands as i have seen it being used as such. So what does the ^ actually indicate?

A: The two commands listed by you are identical.
Refer to Revision Selection in the Git book:

Git allows you to do this by using either the ^ character or --not
  before any reference from which you don't want to see reachable
  commits. Thus these three commands are equivalent:
$ git log refA..refB
$ git log ^refA refB
$ git log refB --not refA

A:
perhaps you want to specify more than two branches to indicate your revision, such as seeing what commits are in any of several branches that aren't in the branch you're currently on. Git allows you to do this by using either the ^ character or --not before any reference from which you don't want to see reachable commits. Thus these three commands are equivalent:

$ git log refA..refB
$ git log ^refA refB
$ git log refB --not refA

Each day, thousands of young children with a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) receive therapy to address deficits in communication, social interaction, and engagement. Commonly referred to as Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention (EIBI) or Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), this approach has been found to be effective for increasing adaptive behaviors and decreasing any challenging behavior a child may exhibit. EIBI often requires an intensive time commitment. Children often receive services for 20 or more hours per week, and this can be burdensome to children and families. Despite decades of research on this treatment approach, little is known about how to tailor interventions systematically or how to precisely apply different doses of intervention to meet the individual needs and responses of any one child.
Recent research suggests that EIBI may be effective when delivered at a lower intensity and with systematic emphasis of developing specific skills for some children. To investigate this, the Department of Defense has provided $7 million in funding to better understand what dose and components of EIBI is most effective for which children. Military families have unique stressors and lifestyle needs that may include planned relocation and the need to transfer services to new providers. This study will advance current knowledge on how to best implement behaviorally-based interventions for young children with ASD by examining the impact of interventions on both children and families.
Children newly diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder, ages 1½ to 5 years of age and referred for ABA through Tricare in North Carolina, Ohio, and Tennessee may be eligible to participate in this landmark study. Clinicians already providing EIBI through Tricare in these locations are working together to examine the interventions. Partners in this project include the May Institute (site Principal Investigator and team Clinical Implementation lead Cynthia Anderson, PhD), the Cleveland Clinic Children's Center for Autism (site Principal Investigator and team Scientific Director, Cynthia Johnson, PhD), Nationwide Children's Hospital (site Principal Investigator Eric Butter, PhD), and Vanderbilt University Medical Center (site Principal Investigator Zachary Warren, PhD). This project is being coordinated through the University of Rochester School of Medicine by a team of researchers who were led by Tristram Smith, PhD; a long-time investigator of the impact of early behavioral interventions, until his untimely death in 2018 (Rochester Principal Investigator, Susan Hyman, MD). The collaborative research team includes Beth Ellen Davis, MD who will provide guidance on the unique needs of children who are military dependents.
The U.S. Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity, 820 Chandler Street, Fort Detrick, MD, 21702-5014, is the awarding and administering acquisition office. This work was supported by the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs through the Autism Research Program under Award No. W81XWH-18-1-0520. Opinions, interpretations, conclusions and recommendations are those of the author and are not necessarily endorsed by the Department of Defense."
As of 2017, almost 17,000 children of military personnel were receiving early intensive behavioral intervention through Tricare. Many children of military personnel with ASD are not receiving services, however. To ensure early identification and referral for intervention in early childhood when it may be most effective, children of military dependents are screened for autism spectrum disorders in the context of routine health care. Once diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder, families of active duty service members need to enroll in the Exceptional Family Member Program. This enables them to be eligible for Tricare Extended Care Health Option benefits, which includes authorization of 6 months of intense behavioral intervention (also called Applied Behavior Analysis or ABA therapy) once referred through the regional Tricare coordinator.
Resources that may help military families affected by autism learn more about autism and services through the lifespan include https://www.operationautismonline.org/ and https://www.autismspeaks.org/support-military-families in addition to local autism support agencies.

Russian Defense Ministry Signs Pantsir-S Delivery Contract
ST. PETERSBURG (Sputnik) — Russia's newest naval anti-aircraft missile system Pantsir-ME has already received export status and is being offered to foreign customers, Alexander Zhukov, the chief naval anti-aircraft system designer at KBP Instrument Design Bureau, told Sputnik on Friday.
On June 23, Rostec Corporation CEO Sergey Chemezov said the serial production of Pantsir-ME had started. This naval version of the Pantsir system was first presented during the ongoing 8th International Maritime Defense Show (IMDS-2017). According to Alexander Denisov, the general director of High Precision Systems (Vysokotochnye Kompleksy) holding company, which includes KBP, the company has already signed the first contracts to supply this system to the Russian Ministry of Defense.
"At the exhibition [IMDS-2017], we presented the export version of the naval Pantsir, there is also a version for our Navy, its tactical and technical characteristics are similar to those of the export version, but there are a number of differences that we can not disclose due to our obligations to the Defense Ministry," Zhukov said.

Pantsir-ME is capable of simultaneously attacking up to four targets flying at a speed of up to 2,240 miles per hour, with the reaction time being three to five seconds. The naval version of Pantsir can hit targets with missiles at a range of up to 12.4 miles and at a height of up to 9.3 miles.
The system has a feature to automatically fire targets with artillery armament if it turns out that the "target is not hit or not sufficiently hit" after the primary missile attack.
The 8th International Maritime Defence Show (IMDS-2017) is being held on June 28-July 2 in St. Petersburg.

Celebrating the Music of Ludwig Van Beethoven – Miniature Sheet
March 26, 2020 Stamps Comments Off on Celebrating the Music of Ludwig Van Beethoven – Miniature Sheet 450
The Miniature Sheet pays tribute to Symphony No. 5 in C minor, thought to be Beethoven's most well-known composition. The symphony, with its distinctive four-note "short-short-short-long" intro was written between 1804 -1808 and its opening motif is still frequently heard in popular music, film and television. The Miniature Sheet incorporates an excerpt from the musical score of Symphony No.5 and a bust of Beethoven's likeness.
In 2020, the world celebrates 250 years of Ludwig van Beethoven. Beethoven was a prominent figure in the transitional period between the classical and romantic musical eras. Considered a revolutionary artist and an artistic visionary, his influence is still felt around the world today, including in Jersey where the Jersey Symphony Orchestra has performed a number of his works over the years.
Taking a contemporary approach, these six stamps represent a selection of some of Beethoven's most famous compositions. Each stamp incorporates an excerpt from the musical score of the piece, a key instrument in the composition and a portrait of Beethoven himself.
The Miniature Sheet incorporates an excerpt from the musical score of Symphony No.5 and a bust of Beethoven's likeness. Jersey Post have produced 200 special edition 12″ transparent vinyl records featuring some of Beethoven's famous compositions. The record comes with a gatefold album cover containing a mint set of six stamps and a Miniature Sheet from our Celebrating the music of Beethoven stamp issue.
A souvenir coin, with a limited run of 250, has also been produced featuring an iconic portrait of Beethoven on one side and Beethoven's beloved Broadwood piano on the other.

Inauguration of Dar Almadanya for Knowledge in Sousse
Four months after the inauguration of Dar Almadanya for Knowledge in Tataouine, the initiative which was a resounding success with the local population and especially young people, the Minister of Education, Mr. Néji Jalloul, inaugurated this Tuesday 28 February 2017 the second center of the book and research which will be called Dar Almadanya for the Knowledge in Sousse, and this in the presence of Mr Lotfi Maktouf President of Almadanya.
This center is located in Souk Lahad. It is strategically positioned and surrounded by a variety of schools and universities. These institutions include the Higher Institute of Applied Sciences of Technology, the Elkafif High School and the Assad Ibn Alfurat Primary School.
"The inauguration of Dar Almadanya in Sousse, after the one in Tataouine and which took place last October, is a testament to the relevance of cooperation between civil society and the State." Said Minister of Education Neji Jalloul.
According to Mr Lotfi Maktouf, "Dar Almadanya is at the center of a strong concentration of students who only want access to places of exchange and tools for research and knowledge; Not only in their own fields of study but with a wider objective of general culture and openness to other fields". It is precisely to this student population that the offer of Dar Almadanya is indeed intended.
Similar to Dar Almadanya Tataouine, the Dar Almadanya Sousse building was made available to the Almadanya Foundation under an agreement signed by the Ministry of Education and Almadanya. It is always by virtue of that Convention that the Foundation is committed to providing, equipping and managing the center of hundreds of books, computer rooms and cultural spaces with open and free access to all.
For Dar Almadanya of Sousse, Almadanya has equipped the center with over 25,000 titles in Arabic, French and English and various other languages such as German and Spanish.
"I renew our gratitude and our thanks to the illustrious Payot bookstore and its dynamic President Pascal Vandenberghe, who has made our dreams a reality and thanks to whom, hundreds of thousands of books are given to equip our libraries and our various reading corners throughout Tunisia." Mr Maktouf said.
Judging from the successful experience of Dar Almadanya Tataouine, this cultural space will attract a wide variety of audiences like young people who want to learn computer science or surf the internet, doctoral students and researchers in the scientific, technical or humanities fields.
The particularity of this center compared to the one in Tataouine is that it is open to the blind public. Indeed, the center is adjacent to the Elkafif High School, the primary school of the visually impaired. Almadanya seized the opportunity for Dar Almadanya to open its doors to these blind students. Thus, the center provides games for the visually impaired and a includes a panoply of audio books, in cooperation with the audio library of the French-speaking Switzerland.
With three different clubs (a theater club led by Professor Mohamed Doghmane, a film club animated by Mr Sendy Zardi and a calligraphy club led by Professor Fraj Brahim) and two games rooms, Dar Almadanya for The Knowledge of Sousse considers itself a true center of culture and leisure.
There is also a printing room in the center, where, in collaboration with the Elkafif High School and an association for the visually impaired, Braille books will be printed.
It should be remembered that Dar Almadanya in Tataouine was inaugurated by Mr Neji Jelloul in the presence of Mr Lotfi Maktouf President of Almadanya and Mr Pascal Vandenberghe the CEO of Payot editions in the 5th of October 2016.
The center has 18,000 titles in three different languages, two large computer rooms and a brain games room. Thus it was considered the largest school library in North Africa.
Since its inauguration, the Tataouine center was visited by 25,000 young people, an average of one class per day. Excursions are organized for high school students and schoolchildren in a radius of more than one hundred kilometers.
3500 schoolchildren were able to benefit from it every weekend. Some researchers attending Dar Almadanya Tataouine came from as far away as Sfax to consult books that they could not obtain in their universities.

Alastair Aiken (né le 6 novembre 1993), mieux connu sous le nom de Ali-A (ou sous son alias originel Matroix ), est un YouTuber britannique connu pour ses commentaires et vlogs sur Call of Duty et Fortnite. Le nombre d'abonnés de sa chaîne principale (Ali-A) dépasse 17 millions, avec un total de vues dépassant 4 milliards. Sa deuxième chaîne, More Ali-A, a un nombre d'abonnés YouTube de plus de 6,1 millions et un total de plus de 959 millions de vues. Le 23 avril 2018, Ali-A a créé une nouvelle chaîne, intitulée «Clare & Ali» avec sa partenaire, Clare Siobhan. La chaîne a depuis gagné plus de  abonnés et généré plus de 3,5 millions de vues.

Aiken se réfère souvent à sa base d'abonnés YouTube comme «l'armée d'Ali-A». En juillet 2015, il a reçu le Guiness World Records de « La Chaîne Call of Duty la Plus Populaire par nombre de vues » ainsi que celui de « La Chaîne Call of Duty la Plus Populaire par nombre d'abonnés ». Aiken assiste fréquemment à l' Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) ainsi qu'à d'autres conventions de jeux vidéo. En 2013, Aiken a écrit un article de blog en tant qu'invité dans le Huffington Post du Royaume-Uni. Le Huffington Post a également déclaré qu'« Ali est l'une des entités britannique les plus populaires et influentes dans le monde et est à la pointe de la révolution en ligne et sur YouTube ». En septembre 2015, Aiken, avec Tom Cassell et Daniel Middleton, a joué dans Legends of Gaming Live, le trio était alors appelé «YouTubers les plus populaires du [Royaume-Uni] ». La division eSports de Redbull a qualifié sa principale chaîne YouTube de « plus grande chaîne YouTube Call of Duty ». En mars 2016, Clickible.com a classé Aiken comme le dix-septième « Youtuber le plus célèbre [sic]... sur Terre ». Plus tard cette année-là, Business Insider l'a classé comme la neuvième star britannique la plus populaire de YouTube  - le même classement qu'ils lui avaient donné en 2015. Le 6 juin 2017, la BBC a qualifié Aiken de « mégastar de YouTube ».

Carrière YouTube

Format de la chaîne
Les vidéos d'Aiken sur sa chaîne principale sont principalement des commentaires et réactions en direct aux jeux vidéo auxquels il joue. Les jeux vidéo auxquels il joue habituellement sur la chaîne font partie de la franchise Call of Duty, et Fortnite mais ce n'est pas toujours le cas. Sur sa deuxième chaîne, More Ali-A, son contenu est généralement axé sur des jeux plus familiaux tels que Minecraft  et des vlogs sur sa vie quotidienne et ses voyages.  Il ne fait pas tout le temps les mêmes introductions à ses vidéos; cependant, il les commence généralement en parlant à la caméra à la manière d'un vlog avant d'enchaîner sur le gameplay.

Lorsque de nouveaux volets de la franchise de jeux vidéo Call of Duty sont annoncés, Aiken couvre les informations connues sur les jeux, donnant aux téléspectateurs des critiques approfondies. Une fois les jeux sortis, il fait des vidéos de walkthrough sur les jeux, montrant aux téléspectateurs comment terminer le nouveau jeu Call of Duty .

Image publique et influence

Relation avec les réseaux multi-chaînes de YouTube
Aiken a signé avec Polaris, un réseau multichaîne (MCN) YouTube, en octobre 2013. Actuellement, il est affilié au MCN StyleHaul sur ses chaînes Ali-A et More Ali-A. Parmi les autres YouTubers notables du réseau figurent les chaînes YouTube de Daniel Middleton et KSI . Selon les statistiques de Social Blade, les deux chaînes YouTube d'Aiken font partie du top 50 du réseau.

Programmes de soutien
En 2016, Aiken s'est associé à d'autres grands créateurs de contenu YouTube au Royaume-Uni et à Mattessons dans le cadre d'une campagne visant à enseigner aux jeunes les compétences de base en programmation. La campagne a généré plus de 13 millions de vues sur YouTube et a permis à plus de  jeunes d'acquérir des compétences de base dans le langage de programmation Python .

Aiken a co-organisé NCS Yes Live 2016 le 29 mars au London Roundhouse . L'événement célébrait « l'impact des projets de changement social des jeunes sur les communautés locales ».

Affiliations, partenariats et sponsors
Les sponsors d'Aiken comprennent:

 Kontrol Freek
 Monster
 Elgato Gaming
 G2A
 Scuf Gaming

Scuf Gaming a sorti une manette personnalisé basé sur le Ali-A Game On pour PlayStation, Xbox et PC.

Apparitions dans d'autres médias
Aiken a fait des apparitions dans l'émission de télévision The Gadget Show et y a été un conférencier en tant qu'invité en 2013 et 2014. Il a été interviewé par la British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) le 10 mai 2013. Aux côtés de KSI, Aiken a discuté des nouveaux abonnements payants qui arrivaient sur YouTube (YouTube Red ) à l'époque. Aiken a été présenté aux côtés de KSI et d'autres YouTubers britanniques populaires dans un documentaire de la BBC Radio 1 en 2014 appelé Rockstar Gamers.   En 2015, BBC Newsbeat a mis en ligne une vidéo YouTube d'une interview avec Aiken. Dans la vidéo, il donne des conseils aux joueurs de jeux vidéo First Person Shooter. Aiken est également présent dans le jeu vidéo mobile, Celebrity Street Fight, en 2015 aux côtés de DanTDM, KSI, Marcus Butler et Deji Olatunji (ComedyShortsGamer).

En octobre 2015, Ali-A a été classée par Business Insider comme la neuvième star britannique de YouTube.

En janvier 2016, Aiken a fait l'objet du documentaire Minecraft: Into The Nether aux côtés d'autres personnalités populaires de YouTube telles que KSI et TheSyndicateProject . L'objectif du documentaire était de tracer le « phénomène Minecraft » à travers l'ascension fulgurante du quatuor vers la célébrité. En septembre de cette année-là, wwd.com a fait référence à la taille de l'audience d'Aiken et de son nombre d'abonnés, disant que « la plupart des annonceurs en bave ». En 2016, Business Insider a, encore une fois, classé Aiken comme le neuvième YouTuber britannique le plus populaire.

Le 7 avril 2017, Aiken a été mentionnée dans un article de Business Insider France. Le 30 juin 2017, il a été annoncé dans le cadre d'une déclaration conjointe de Sassy Films, CBBC et BBC Worldwide qu'Aiken animerait une émission de télévision intitulée «Ali-A's Superchargers (10 × 20 ′)». L'émission « charge les enfants » de redécorer leur voiture familiale, « sans la participation de leurs parents ». La BBC a qualifié Aiken de « mégastar de YouTube ».  Virgin Media a publié un bref article en ligne en juillet 2017 sur l'expérience pratique d'Aiken avec la bêta de Destiny 2 . En octobre 2017 est sorti le roman graphique Ali-A Adventures: Game On!.

En août 2016, Aiken a participé aux 1000 heures de collecte de fonds pour l'association Cancer Research UK d'après cancerresearchuk.org.

Phénomène internet
Au début de chaque vidéo d'Ali-A, une courte animation 3D mettant en scène son logo avec la musique "Brass" de Dirty Rush & Gregor Es. Pendant le mois de février 2018, un phénomène internet consistant à placer cette courte séquence a des moments inopportuns est né.

The latest movies in the Star Wars franchise do an excellent job of presenting a diverse cast which includes males and female and people of different races and ethnicities. Many articles have been written about the role of women in "The Last Jedi," such as this one from Bustle with the excellent title, "The Last Jedi Makes Treating Women As Equal Seem Easy – Because It Is." The Last Jedi is a great movie to introduce to all children (males and females) for the diversity alone.
Another great aspect of the film that I wasn't expecting is the treatment of animals. I was blown away by some aspects, detailed better than I can in this article from Peta2.
The Last Jedi is rated PG-13. Common Sense Media recommends it for ages 10 and over. We watched it with our 8-year-old. My wife watched the movie first and then told our daughter the story, including who dies, so that she would be prepared to handle it in the theatre, which was a very helpful tactic.
Now go see the film! And May the Force Be With You.

IBIS Realty LLC has acquired Ibis Plaza, a two-building office complex in Hamilton, N.J. A Cushman & Wakefield team comprising Andrew Schwartz, Andrew Merin, David Bernhaut, Gary Gabriel, Brian Whitmer, Ryan Larkin and Milt Charbonneau handled the sale of the single-story assets. The same team brokered the disposition of a nearby office park in July.
Located at 3525-3535 Quakerbridge Road, the 119,000-square-foot buildings have collaborative spaces with flexible layouts and include 26,000 square feet of express office suites, as well as a 6,700-square-foot rentable event venue. At the time of sale, the property was 88 percent occupied by a diverse roster of tenants including Progress Center For Independent Living Directions, NovaCare, Hamilton Horizons Federal Credit Union and Carf International.
Ibis Plaza is situated 2.5 miles from the Interstate 295 interchange and 2 miles from the Hamilton New Jersey Transit Train Station, in the Princeton Corridor. The property provides easy access to NYC Penn Station as well as a bus station right at its entrance.
"The same attributes that provide a strong draw for tenants—plentiful neighborhood amenities, surrounding executive housing communities, a highly educated labor pool and proximity to major universities—continue to make this location a prime investment target," Larkin said in a prepared statement.

PGA TRYING TO LURE JAPANESE HONEYMOONERS
JOHN KENNEDY, Staff WriterSUN-SENTINEL
With 1.5 million Japanese getting married this year, PGA National officials want some of these newlyweds to spend their honeymoon doing one thing:
Watching a golf tournament.
"We are using the PGA Championship Tournament as a hook or grab toward the Japanese marketplace," tournament director Gordon McKnight said at a news conference at the Palm Beach Gardens resort on Tuesday.
"Three-quarters of a million marriages are consummated each year in Japan, and we're hoping to bill Palm Beach County and the tournament as a destination for these honeymoon couples," McKnight said.
The PGA Championship, one of the biggest events on the men's professional golf tour, is scheduled for Aug. 6-9 at PGA National. Resort officials and the county's marketing arm, Discover Palm Beach County Inc., are hoping to lure as many as 300 Japanese to the championship.
"Golf is a real big thing in Japan and it costs a ton of money to play," said Debbie Turdo, program manager for Discover, which has contributed $81,200 in public financing to the tournament.
"The thing is to get (Japanese tourists) over here through the PGA Championship, since golf is their main interest," she said.
Through a liaison office Discover operates in Japan, McKnight said travel negotiations are under way with six Japanese tour groups. A Japanese-dubbed videotape promoting the county and the tournament is also shown.
"It's a booming market for us," McKnight said.
On Tuesday, tournament officials projected the four-day event would add $50 million to the overall economy of Palm Beach, Martin and Broward counties.
The projections are in keeping with officials' earlier touting of the tournament as the "Super Bowl of golf" and "the single-most significant event in the history of summer Florida."
About 16,000 people are expected daily, paying $110 or $150 for tournament passes. The championship will be broadcast in 35 countries, officials said.
While local television could be blacked out if daily attendance is low, officials downplayed that possibility.
"We don't anticipate the need for a blackout," said Jim Awtrey, tournament operations manager for the PGA of America.
Officials also shrugged off the prospect of traffic problems at the tournament, even though PGA Boulevard was clogged for 2 1/2 hours Sunday when 10,000 people attended an air show near the resort.
Unlike air show procedures, parking fees are included in tournament ticket prices, said PGA National President Colin Wright. That will reduce parking delays, he said.
"Obviously, at times there will be traffic on PGA Boulevard, but it'll be nothing like at the air show," he said.

Oxygen sensor function measures the proportion of oxygen in exhaust gases, which is critical to tuning an engine. Bosch's wideband Lambda sensor also uses an integrated heater and the main benefit of the LSU 4.9 is the robust design combined with the high Bosch production quality standard.
Photo 4/34 | The sensor fits into a standard bung, which is included and must be welded into the exhaust system.
Photo 7/34 | The Lexus was fitted with a modified exhaust and already had a bung welded in place. We simply removed the plug and installed the Bosch sensor.
Photo 9/34 | The lambda sensor should be installed at a point permitting the measurement of a representative exhaust-gas mixture, which does not exceed the maximum permissible temperature. Install at a point where the gas is as hot as possible and also remember it's important to protect the sensor from condensation, so installation should be as high up in the pipe as is reasonable.
