How to timely file a reinstatement application?
If you last entered the U.S. as a F or M student or J exchange visitor and for whatever reasons that you are or will be out of status, you should file for an reinstatement application within 5 months of you being out of your status. Once you filed for an reinstatement, the unlawful presence will be suspended while the application is pending with the USCIS or Department of States (for J visa exchange visitors).
What if I'm out of status beyond the 5 months window?
Under the new policy memo, if you are out of status or overstayed your student visa longer than 5 months and you have not filed an reinstatement application or do not have any other pending visa applications, you are deemed to be out of status and have accrued unlawful presence. If you file for a reinstatement application and it is ultimately approved, you will generally not accrue unlawful presence while out of status. However, if your reinstatement application is denied, the accrual of unlawful presence will resume on the day after the denial.
What happens if I timely filed a reinstatement application but it's still pending after 5 months?
In that case, according to the revised final policy memo, your unlawful presence is suspended meaning you are still in status as long as your application is pending.
Do I have to leave if my reinstatement application is denied?
If your reinstatement application is denied, the accrual of unlawful presence resumes on the day after the denial. To avoid accruing more unlawful presence that could lead you to a bar to return to the U.S. in the future, you should depart the U.S. immediately.
When does this policy memo becomes effective?
When should I seek help from an immigration lawyer?
The accrual of unlawful presence is a serious matter because it will potentially prohibit you from returning to the U.S. either temporary or permanently. If you are in such a situation, you should seek help from an experienced immigration lawyer before departing the U.S. Depending on your situation and immigration history and future plans, there might be immigration options for you to return to the U.S. such as an inadmissibility waiver or I-601 waiver. Contact the Cipolla Law Group to schedule a consultation and find out how we can assist you to return to the U.S. Our immigration law firm is located in downtown Chicago and we can assist you either in person at our office or over the phone.

Protest Periphrasis: How the words used to describe the actions of police hide their violence
By Mike Laws
Over the past week, in news coverage of the nationwide protests against police brutality, breezy, anodyne words like deploy, disperse, and engage have served as a gloss on state-licensed aggression, papering over municipal forces' and National Guardsmen's frequently appalling crowd-control tactics. Conversely, protesters—or "rioters"—are said to have hurled or thrown or fired objects at police: bottles of water, rocks, whatever is close at hand. When the authorities retaliate, making happy use of the heavier tools they brought to play with (rubber bullets, explosive paint canisters, tear gas), they are treated to extenuating phrasing, merely returning fire or defending themselves, even though it has not always been the case that they had anything to defend against or were retaliating at all. In some cities it has been abundantly clear, from eyewitness cellphone videos if not from local outlets' coverage, that the cops were the instigators; not for nothing did Slate headline an article "Police Erupt in Violence Nationwide."
READ NEXT: Six months of life and death in America
But Slate ain't everyone, and thus we wound up with a post early Wednesday morning on the website of KRMG, a Tulsa news-and-talk station, offering that local police had "used tear gas and pepper balls to disperse crowds." Even in liberal Oakland, KCBS Radio began a May 30 dispatch: "Amid protests, demonstrators blocked Interstate 880, set fires, and trashed much of the downtown area before police dispersed them with tear gas and rubber bullets." A chyron on CNN over the weekend read protesters launch objects as police release tear gas in minneapolis. And a recent New York Times tweet had it that, also in Minneapolis, "a photographer was shot in the eye," while in DC "protesters struck a journalist with his own microphone."
There is a linguistic war being waged within these formulations, with battle lines drawn across a couple of fronts. For starters, you have the issue of voice: When protesters perpetrated an act of violence, the Times, by dint of active construction, let you know precisely who had been targeted and who was to blame. In the case of the photographer, on the other hand, the passive voice obscured (as it always does) the party responsible for the act. Readers might well arrive at their own easy conclusion—but why accord this sort of rhetorical cover to the one side and not the other?
And then there is the matter of the words themselves, where the fault line extends back practically to time immemorial. English is a famously mongrel tongue, born of violence and bloodshed, invasion and conquest. Its modern form has come to comprise—very roughly speaking—one-quarter words of older, Germanic origin and three-quarters Latin, French, Greek, or "other." The Latinate loans that passed into English tend to be multisyllabic, with accented and unstressed beats, and fall weightless on the ear, mellifluously benign, prettily dispassionate. Our Saxonic alternatives, by contrast, hit like a gut-punch: stern, short, sharp, harsh.
Now, returning to those earlier examples, you can see how the cops are often afforded the gentler idiom, the protesters subjected to all the lexical Sturm und Drang. On the police side of the ledger we have deploy (from Old French), engage (Anglo-French), disperse (Latin), return (Anglo-French), defend, and sweet release (both Latin by way of Anglo-French). Crossing over to the protesters, we've got hurl (likely from Low German), throw (Old English, and akin to a word from Old High German), and fire (ditto); block (Middle Dutch originating from Old High German), set (Old English via Old High German), and trash (likely Scandinavian, Old Norse passing into Old English); and strike (bedfellows OE and OHG, once again).
Why is this happening? I don't mean to suggest that American journalists are consciously electing for the gussied-up French or Latin options as a means of tamping down on police brutality—rather that they're merely repeating, unthinkingly, what's been osmotically resorbed from years upon years' worth of exposure to press-release English. Writers are incorrigible mimics, after all: we read a lot and sponge up and then rehash common collocations, (stale) turns of phrase, lumps of (lumpen) verbiage. Press releases traffic in smooth unobtrusive Latinate English, in passive voice; reporters inhale the releases, regurgitate them, and replicate literatim these public-relations-approved edge-sandings. (For more on the whys and wherefores of journalists' overreliance on smoothed-over police-department PR argot, see my colleague Alexandria Neason's " 'Officials Say…' " which tells the story of how the police-furnished narrative of a white Chicago cop's slaying of a twenty-five-year-old Black man became the version repeated ad nauseam in papers of record.) But when it comes to the protesters, lacking such cached memory of all that calculated diction, we revert to what are, in fact, better instincts: active voice, dynamic verbs, headlines that (to crib from an old New York Post ad on the subway) "punch you in the eyeballs."
That's the kind of treatment that ought to be extended to descriptions of what the police are doing, right now, in virtually every major American city. They are not releasing or deploying tear gas, nor utilizing (pure French, note) rubber bullets, to disperse protesters; they are teargassing protesters, shooting protesters (and journalists), forcing restive elements from the streets. If the overriding maxim in journalism is to amplify unheard voices, with the secondary precept being to "tell it like it is," we are failing to live up to either promise even at the level of our most basic tool: the words we use.

Kennett Watkins
The Phantom canoe: a legend of Lake Tarawera
Ten days before Mount Tarawera erupted spectacularly in 1886, destroying the famed silica terraces of Rotomähana, a number of people witnessed a disturbing sight - a ghostly, fully-manned waka gliding across Lake Tarawera in the shadow of the mountain. Interpreted as an omen of impending death and disaster, the sighting was reported in local newspapers and after the eruption received much attention from artists and writers. One of the better known representations of the apparition is this grandiose composition by Kennett Watkins, a leading nineteenth century exponent of Mäori history painting. Although the spectre was seen in broad daylight, Watkins presents it in a dramatic nocturnal setting illuminated by a full moon amidst billowing clouds, foreshadowing the volcanic blast to come. Conforming to European conventions for the sublime landscape, a lone, fearful spectator in the foreground witnesses the vast canoe passing under the looming peak. More specific sources in European art include representations of Vesuvius in eruption in the Bay of Naples and spectacular Alpine scenes by artists such as J. M. W. Turner. Born in India, Watkins studied art in Switzerland and France before emigrating to New Zealand in 1873. He worked as a photographer and schoolteacher in the Bay of Islands then moved to Auckland where he became principal of the Auckland Free School of Art. (from The Guide, 2001)

Fire chiefs association opposes public safety consolidation (2/9)
The International Association of Fire Chiefs' board of directors has issued a position statement reaffirming the association's continued opposition to consolidating fire and emergency service and law enforcement agencies and the creation of public safety officers, according to a IAFC press release. The measure comes in response to a growing trend of some consultants to push consolidation as a remedy for local government officials faced with shrinking local budgets.
"As leaders in our communities, the fire and emergency service is committed to finding ways to help our communities through these difficult financial times, but not at the expense of public or responder safety," said IAFC President Chief Larry J. Grorud. "Proponents of consolidation fail to appreciate the unique role firefighters and EMTs play in both prevention and response, as well as the critical importance of assessing the specific risks and service needs of each community."
The position statement specifically addresses the association's concerns stemming from the:
Vast differences in fire/emergency service and law enforcement mission and training
Erosion of the company unit
Exchange of the team concept for individual action
Lack of understanding of both the broader community service and national context in which the fire and emergency service plays a critical role
The IAFC is working with the International Association of Fire Fighters, other fire and emergency service organizations and law enforcement organizations to provide resources for combating misinformation being circulated locally by public-safety consolidation proponents and to raise shared concerns at the national level.
The IAFC has issued similar positions dating back to 1877, but says it finds no compelling reason to alter its position in our modern world.
"Consolidation of fire and emergency services and law enforcement is still being offered as an easy solution to an increasingly complex problem," continued Grorud. "We need to leverage our current environment of cooperation and unprecedented resources for risk assessment and data collection, to create new and effective solutions that support continued quality of service at lower costs."
Association offers fire safety tips for businesses (9/4)
OSHA chief Michaels speaks out on long work hours, fatigue and worker safety (9/2)

The 5 Best Industries for Millennials to Enter in Japan in the next 5 years
Written By: Jen Santelices
Date Published: 21st November, 2019
Millennials are known to prioritize work-life balance and a good work culture when looking for jobs, and foreign millennials in Japan are no different. Although Japan is a country known for their difficult work conditions, some industries are now evolving in order to cater to this generation's needs. #jportlibrary
Millennials have become such a visible workforce in various industries across the world. A recent study estimates that by 2025, up to 75% of the total global workforce will consist of millennials. As they continue to do so, they bring a shift in ideas when considering job opportunities.
This shift is shaping a country like Japan as well, where young people now value work-life balance as a top career goal, something relatively uncommon before. For foreign millennials entering Japan's workforce, it is essential to understand which industries can provide them with the best opportunities in this period of change.
Here are the top 5 industries for millennials in Japan in the next 5 years, based on the availability of jobs, why the industry is good for millennials, and modern companies that are leading by example.
With Google ranking as one of the top ideal workplaces for Japanese students surveyed in 2019, it proves that the IT industry has carved its place into the ideals of Japan's working youth. Companies like Google are popular because of their work-life balance and benefits that suit millennials' needs.
Furthermore, there is a great demand for people in the IT industry in Japan, with one estimate showing a shortage of up to 600,000 IT-related professionals by 2030. This has resulted in less requirements for foreigners to enter the industry, and it's a lot easier for young foreign workers to get jobs in IT now more than ever.
Zehitomo's CEO, Jordan Fisher
Example: Zehitomo.com, a website and matchmaking service for connecting clients and services in Japan. Founded by two Americans, their team has grown to include a good mix of foreign and Japanese members, and their company's values prioritize a cooperative work environment and a healthy work-life balance, something that fits in with millennials' lifestyles.
To apply directly for internships to Zehitomo, visit JPort Journal's page on the company here.
Hospitality/Tourism
The upcoming 2020 Tokyo Olympics is opening doors for foreigners to enter Japan's understaffed hospitality industry, and Japan's government recently made it easier for hospitality trainees to stay in Japan. As more tourists visit Japan each year, the demand for employees in the industry constantly grows.
A lot of hospitality jobs do away with the 9-to-5 pattern and are dependent on shifts, and on average, they have a lower amount of monthly working hours compared to other sectors. This means that Japan's infamous overtime culture isn't as big of a problem here, and employees can enjoy more free time, something that most millennials value.
Japan Travel is a company founded by Terrie Lloyd, a New Zealand native now based in Japan. A travel agency and website focused on inbound tourism, the company is a good example for fostering millennials' work ideals because of their flexible and diverse work environment, as well as being an equal opportunity employer.
To apply directly for JapanTravel, visit JPort Journal's page on the company here.
A lot of Japanese companies conduct trading and sales all over the world, and where there is international business, there is a demand for foreigners to link Japan and other countries. Because of this, companies in Japan often hire foreigners to serve as international sales representatives.
International sales jobs can be a good option for millennials who want variety in their jobs—the business trips abroad that are often required in these types of jobs can be a good break to the typical office routine.
Itochu is one of Japan's largest trading companies that does business all over the world. Despite being a large Japanese company, they are far from traditional—with casual Wednesdays and Fridays (shown on the poster), a high employee satisfaction rate, and equal opportunities for younger employees to take part in sales operations abroad—which can make them enticing to the millennial generation.
Two of the top 10 companies in Japan that attained the highest ranking of employee happiness in 2019 are international management consultancy companies, and it seems that some companies in this industry prioritize job satisfaction in their employees.
Consultants are necessary for companies that have clients that want to work internationally, and this is where foreign millennials come in, to bring not only experience, but also an international mindset to help the company achieve the clients' needs.
Example: The Boston Consulting Group (BCG) is an international consulting firm with offices in Japan. Another company that ranked high in the employment satisfaction survey, comments from BCG employees in Japan include appreciation for the company's openness and the supportive work environment, which is good for millennials who value fulfillment in their careers.
Japan is always increasing their efforts to become more global, however, Japan still ranks low on English proficiency, according to a 2018 survey by a language education organization in Switzerland. This gap in proficiency means that there is going to be a constant demand for foreigners that can provide translation services between Japanese and English.
However, other languages such as Chinese, Korean, French and Spanish are also in demand for localization jobs in Japan. A lot of these jobs are involved in localizing games or media from Japanese to the language of their target country.
Translation and localization jobs often have remote work possibilities, and this flexibility in choosing a workspace is something most millennials prefer to have as an option for their jobs.
Example: Gengo is an online translation service that has been popular in the past few years. They hire translators for a multitude of languages, and translators can set their own schedule, while receiving support and feedback. This can be good for millennials with language skills who want flexibility and cooperation in their work.
Word of advice
Although Japan is embracing more foreigners in different industries, it cannot be denied that a lot of companies in Japan are still very traditional, and this especially affects young, foreign workers who might find it difficult to adjust.
It's important to do prior research on the job market and industries in Japan to avoid the pitfalls of excessive overtime and strict work cultures, because building your career in Japan doesn't need to be painful to be fulfilling.

Spin That Funky Music, D.J.!: Disc Jockeys and the Cornell Party Scene
By Peter Finocchiaro | March 27, 2008
Every weekend freshmen file out of their North Campus dormitories to head down to the big open party; frat bros and sorority gals dress up nice for formals; those lucky enough to have reached that magical 21st birthday (or to have a good enough fake to get past that pesky drinking age law) get their drank on at Dunbars and dance on tabletops at Johnny O's; architecture students go to obscure house parties; Cornell, as a whole, gets crunk.
But that's only half the mission. After successfully lowering their inhibitions to the point where they've long since forgotten they have two left feet and alienated all of their friends back home thanks to an embarrassing rendition of Soulja Boy — they want to dance. And to dance they'll need some sweet tunes.
At any real party, be it big or be it small, iPod playlists aren't going to do the trick; that's where a small, important sub-class of society comes into the equation — the disc jockeys. Though the typical partygoer might not know it, D.J.s don't just appear out of thin air — Cornell, and Ithaca at large, is home to a long, strong tradition of deejaying. Student disc jockeys come and go all the time. They play the parties for a few years and then they graduate. And when they go, they often passing down their rolodexes to protégés who keep the music pumping for years to come.
Anthony Mohabir '08, who goes by the handle D.J. SiLo, was one such protégé. He started Deejaying in highschool, and continued when he got to Cornell, doing mostly small gigs until he met the students behind (the now dissolved) Absolute Productions. "I worked with them my sophomore year, and then they graduated and pretty much passed all the contacts to me. And with that I started Red Line Entertainment." As the owner of Red Line Entertainment, which boasts an entire team of D.J.s, Mohabir plays not only frat parties and bars that most D.J.s get, but also does performances sponsored by the University. Enterprising, no?
And Mohabir isn't the only student running this kind of operation — not by a long shot. Different D.J.s appeal to different scenes, and the more singular the vision of the spin-styler, the more inventive and original the scene. One such group working the Cornell party underground is the Electronic Music Collective, founded and run by D.J. Adam Vana '09. The Collective shuns the traditional scene — dominated by the same old frat parties — in favor of smaller, more intimate (and unquestionably unique) get togethers.
"Our parties are about depth of feeling, love and humanity," Vana explained. "We believe all these things come together when you can just be yourself and not have to worry about what's popular or what's socially convenient or normal or lucrative."
The "Risley Rave" was one of the experiences Vana has in mind when he extols the benefits of the path less traveled. The Rave, an underground dance party held in the performing arts residential hall last year, is different from anything most Cornellians have probably ever experienced.
"There was no publicity, so you had to hear about it from someone," explained Vince Davis '10. "I got a facebook message saying, 'Don't tell anybody!'" The party was an underground sensation. Way underground.
"Me and like five friends rolled in at like 1 a.m. and had to go behind Risley and down some stairs, and we couldn't hear any music. So we went down some more stairs into this sketchy basement entryway with a flickering, broken light bulb. And we didn't hear anything until we got to this big thick curtain, and we could just faintly hear music playing behind it. We pulled back the curtain, and the next room was just showered in black lights, and there was glowing neon paint on the walls, and bottles of water everywhere and Adam Vana was deejaying. Techno music was blaring everywhere and the party was still going when we left at 4:30 in the morning."
Davis, robust, six-foot-plus feet tall and once recognizable on campus by his trademark dreadlocks (which he had, sadly, shorn off over winter break) knows a little bit about deejaying himself. The sophomore communication major, who began mashing up tracks in highschool, never really entertained the thought of continuing in college until he actually did — he's proof that you don't need entrepreneurial ambitions or an outrageously out there vision to get involved in the D.J. scene — sometimes all you need are some turntables and some bros.
"I was pledging Alpha Delta Phi, and we were doing mixers, and one night the music was really bad because people were just going to the iPod and picking terrible songs. And I was feeling bold and said 'I'm gonna D.J. the next party! Whatever!'"
Now Vince can be seen at two to three parties a weekend — frat parties, bars, house parties and even a gig at Ithaca College next month. From just another guy in a frat to a partymaker.
Just by the nature of what they do and how they perform, D.J.s sometimes become recognizable figures to those they play for, getting picked out days or weeks later just walking around campus.
"Yeah, that's one of the really cool things," says Mohabir. "Getting recognized by people after the parties is a pretty awesome feeling."
But what if the D.J. was already a celebrity before playing the parties? Yaw Joseph Etse '08, founder of the Slope Media Group, took up deejaying as a new hobby/part time gig this semester.
"At the beginning of the semester, two guys I know in SAE [Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity] were Deejaying at Johnny O's, and I told them I wanted to D.J. And since they were graduating, at the beginning of the semester I just rolled in there and started deejaying."
Sometimes the people who work those turntables are in it for the music, or maybe the money, or even just as a way to experiment in something new. Whatever the case, it's a glamorous job that attracts a decidedly charismatic, enterprising group of individuals. And there are some pretty cool memories.
"I deejayed a party in Rand Hall once," Vince recalled.
"I just love, after the party's over, going doing with my friends to Short Stop Deli, getting some food, hanging out and relaxing," said Mohabir.
Maybe it's the moments you'd never expect, like architects partying out in their place of study, or maybe it's the relaxed moments after an intense party, but something about making and mashing up music has immeasurable appeal for those that call it a passion. And Cornell certainly reaps the benefits of having these talented individuals amongst its students. Casually downplaying the significance of what he and his compatriots create when they hit the turntables each and every party, Etse thoughtfully considered the Cornell party scene and concluded, "I would say the party scene is very reliable, and the music that's played is generally pretty fresh. I'd say it's all pretty good."
And he's pretty much on target — except when Soulja Boy comes on. Then all bets are off.
Hey Apple: Get a Life!
By Alex Kantrowitz March 30, 2008
Apple Inc. could learn a lesson or two from Barack Obama. As far as I know, this weekend marks the second time that Apple has decided to pay for extremely obnoxious attack ads to be displayed on the main page of nytimes.com. No, the ads are not aimed at a certain candidate but they do maliciously go after Apple's main competitor- Windows OS.
The Revolution That Wasn't: The Low-Down on College Music
By Samantha Hartzband March 29, 2008
The world's colleges and universities have a reputation for fostering some of the most liberal thinkers in the country. Not only are many students simply open-minded and free-spirited, but, no matter what their passions may be, there is also always a "posse" of others to back them up. But despite this vast array of ideas and innovations that permeate adults aged 18 to 22, the all-inclusive term "college music" still exists.

Zimbabwe Journalist Hopewell Chin'ono Anti-Corruption Song DemLoot Sets Social Media on Fire

MARYLAND —
Journalist Hopewell Chin'ono has been making headlines in Zimbabwe for his multiple arrests, triggered last year by his social media posts highlighting government corruption.
Now, just recently released on bail for yet another alleged violation, Chin'ono is making fresh headlines, this time for rapping.
A tweet of Chin'ono rapping a reggae beat on the level of looting by Zimbabwean government officials and members of the ruling Zanu-PF party, has set yet another local Twitter record for the award-winning journalist.
His original tweet of the song on January 31 has generated thousands of visits, 1,200 comments, almost 3,000 retweets and other reactions.
In an exclusive interview with VOA Zimbabwe Service's Livetalk, Chin'ono explained the meaning of the lyrics of his rap song, #DemLoot.
UHopewell Chin'ono ukhuluma lentathelizindaba zomsakazo weVoice of America.
"It was never put out as a piece of journalism. This was just Hopewell the citizen. I was in my study (room) exactly where I'm sitting (during the interview) and I was reading, got bored and I started reflecting, as I have been doing when I was in prison, about conversations I was having with so many youths last year when I was accusing them of not participating in political, economic and social issues that affect their day to day lives. And then I decided to say, oh you know, a lot our youths in Zimbabwe listen to reggae music, let me try and just do something talking about the issues that I encouraged them to engage with on a day to day basis and see how they will react. So, that's what I did and when I put it out there it went viral. It was never a form of journalism. It was just me as a citizen interacting with the youth and using a language and art form that they are more comfortable with."
Asked if this was not crossing the line of journalism that may get him in trouble again with the government, Chin'ono defended his actions, saying he is only speaking the truth.

"It doesn't discredit me. Newspapers have editorials. They comment on issues that affect citizens that they are covering. Television stations have talk shows like the one that we have at the moment. People are expressing opinion and what I did with that song, I was expressing opinion and fact because it is a fact, and I have proved it, that money is being looted. So, I was just saying what I say when I write newspaper columns for international newspapers like the New York Times or The Guardian or when I'm reporting for the BBC. I was just doing it using an art form that I knew would be more receptive, the youth would be more receptive to it if I use that art form. The words that I used in that song could have been in an article in the New York Times. So, I just see it as a different platform that I used but otherwise there is no difference."
Chin'ono, who is out on bail for three separate charges, the major one being that he instigated citizens to participate in a demonstration on July 31, 2020, said he felt compelled as a journalist to investigate corruption in Zimbabwe as many African nations are facing similar problems.
He said his DemLoot song has highlighted corruption in high places worldwide with some top artistes like Zimbabwean singer Vusa Mkhaya of Insingizi and famous guitarist Helen Ebe crafting their own versions.
Hopewell Chin'ono in court in January, 2021. (VOA)
"It shows that what I was saying affects many people. Vusa Mkhaya's version is actually the most favorite out of all the versions that have been done and I have convinced him that he needs to do a long song and is going to do it. There is actually one of the most famous guitarists in Africa called Helen Ebe. She is Nigerian. She is actually working on her version because these issues are not specifically Zimbabwean. They affect all of us on the continent. There is corruption across the continent. It is the levels that I guess differ and attenuate. It's worse in Zimbabwe.
"There are only 22 countries that are worse than Zimbabwe. That's how bad our corruption has become. So, it is important for people like yourself and myself who have media voices and we can reach huge numbers of people to engage and also remind the policy makers that their role in society is to create a conducive environment for the citizens to thrive and not to take that which is meant to build hospitals, roads, schools or create employment for our people."
Some artistes, who have also released their own DemLoot versions are in China, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Lesotho, Botswana, Britain, Australia and other nations.

20 Greatest Kid Cudi Quotes
November 7, 2016 By Quotes for Bros
Kid Cudi broke on to the scene a delivered some of the most inspirational music centered around outer-worldly experiences, being yourself and never giving a f**k about what anyone else ever had to say about him. So, we decided to bring you the 20 Greatest Kid Cudi Quotes.
From A Kid Named Cudi to the Man On the Moon series and more, Cudi's discography came at a time where a generation was looking for music to get lost in. Later on, Cudi experimented with new sounds as WZRD and Speedin' Bullet 2 Heaven and is still continuing to be a voice for those to embrace their own individuality.
It's only right that we explore some of the greatest quotes from an artist who has had his own struggles with substance abuse and depression, though, still manages to be an inspiration to fans as he preaches love and positivity. You can check out our 20 Greatest Kid Cudi Quotes below.
"People are going to wonder why you're trying to be different; it's just a natural instinct. If I was to walk down the street in a kilt, then dudes would wonder why I'm doing that, they'd think I was different or gay. It's natural for people to point fingers. That's my whole reason for trying to switch things up; don't judge a book by it's cover."
"My background is not typical hip-hop. I didn't grow up in the projects. I grew up in a single family home in a middle-class suburb. That doesn't mean I didn't experience hardship, but to me it's not about that, it's about the future and where we are trying to take it."
"You sometimes think you want to disappear, but all you really want is to be found."
"Some people just don't want to see change, but thankfully there are a lot of people more optimistic for something new in music, even with the bigger picture like with Obama getting elected."
"In America, we're kind of lazy. But in New York, it's one of those places where you see the majority of people hustling. If you can make it in New York, you can make it anywhere."
"When life's seems hopeless, rearrange things for a dose of dopeness."
"I just wanna learn and I wanna grow. I wanna consume as much information as possible. I wanna be great."
"At the end of the day, you can't regret it if you were trying. At the end of the day I'm walking with a heart of a lion."
"Control your own life. Don't give a sh*t about what other people talk about FAM. Haters will shake my hand but I keep the sanitizer on deck."
"Learn from this, there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Hell does have an exit, and I found it. For those who are still looking for a way out, I left the door open and I'll be waiting for whoever wants to grow with me."
"My life, my choices, my mistakes, my lessons, not your business."
"When you try to convince yourself that something doesn't bother you, it usually bothers you more."
"I love yall. I want everyone happy and smiling and feeling okay. Peace be with anyone struggling out there."
"I keep silent because I dont ever wanna come off like some angry hater, but today, not only do I feel fantastic, Im feelin like taking over."
"Music shouldn't be a headache to find especially in a digital space. It's actually easier going to Best Buy to get a CD than it is to DL one."
"Gettin older you have these moments often. Did I appreciate it enough? Was I present? What was it all for?"
"When you give so much of yourself to others, you have to find time for you. And I dont think I ever moved that way and Im starting to now."
"Striving for greatness and wanting to be the best at what you do are essential components to mastering your craft."

Home MMA News ONE Championship Biggest winners from ONE Warrior Series event in Singapore
Biggest winners from ONE Warrior Series event in Singapore
Dan Paulo Errazo
Singapore is a place where martial arts dreams can come true, and 34 competitors had an opportunity to use the location as a springboard in their professional careers on Thursday, 11 October.
Placed neatly between the ONE: KINGDOM OF HEROES show from Bangkok, Thailand, on 6 October, which drew 25 million viewers, and ONE: PURSUIT OF GREATNESS in Myanmar on 26 October, the ONE Warrior Series scratched the itch for fans of martial arts and the promotion.
The show focuses on unsigned martial arts talent all over Asia. This card gave fans something to tide them over while they wait for Aung La N Sang to defend his ONE Middleweight World Title again in his home country against Mohammad Karaki.
This group of 34 martial arts hopefuls took to Singapore to compete in the ONE Warrior Series live event for the chance to win a $100,000+ contract with ONE Championship and a spot on the promotion's roster. When the dust settled, one talented martial artist emerged with the coveted contract, but a few others also shined under the event's spotlight.
After a TKO win over Shinechagtga Zoltsetseg on Thursday, Mark Fairtex Abelardo walked away with the contract and the roster spot. In his last appearance on the ONE Warrior Series, Abelardo won a spectacular brawl with Ali Motamed. In that bout, Motamed had his moments, but Abelardo's ability to work out of trouble and to secure the victory made an impression. In the match with Zoltsetseg, Abelardo reaffirmed the positive vibes ONE Vice President Rich Franklin had about him after his first performance on the show.
Against Zoltsetseg, Abelardo again had to rebound from a flurry of offense from his opponent. Abelardo took the action to the ground and inflicted so much damage on his opponent that he was unable to answer the bell for the second round.
Because of Abelardo's ability to consistently battle through adversity en route to victories, he was selected as the lone recipient of the ONE contract.
Franklin said: "Mark Abelardo earned a contract because of the war he had in his last event and his ability to overcome adversity in his second match. Very well-deserved."
Thursday's win improved Abelardo's record to 17-5. It will be interesting to see what he can do as he enters ONE's bantamweight division. He may not be an instant contender for the 135-pound title, but he's definitely one to keep an eye on.
While Abelardo was the only one to earn a contract, six others earned Warrior bonuses. Another bantamweight Zechariah Lange got his bonus for scoring a unanimous-decision win over Dawoon Jung in one of the event's best overall bouts. The match was so good in the eyes of the decision makers that Jung also received a Warrior bonus in a losing effort.
Strawweight standout Lito Adiwang dispatched Manuel "Tick" Huerta in just over four minutes of the first round. A sensational, sweeping right-hand uppercut landed on Huerta's chin and the bout was over.
Adiwang has a crowd-friendly, free-flowing striking style. He's getting the desired results because of his combination of speed and power. It had to be hard to pass over him for the contract, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him join the promotion's roster sometime in the future.
Detchadin Sornsirisuphathin defeated Mark Cuizon in a high-action flyweight bout that drew praise as well. The Thai martial artist rebounded from a first-round KO loss in his first bout on the ONE Warrior Series back March.
He showed noteworthy perseverance which is a quality it appears ONE is rewarding in its up-and-coming professionals. He may need to string together a few more impressive performances before he can secure a contract with ONE, but he's at least on the right track.
Jenelyn Olsim and her brother Jerry were both in action during the ONE Warrior Series event on Thursday. Both of them won their bouts, but only Jenelyn received a Warrior bonus. Jerry, who is a featherweight, scored a first-round TKO win over Ernest Tang, but Jenelyn won a three-round war over Claudia Diaz that may have even surpassed the Lange-Jung bout as the best battle of the event.
Olsim and Diaz had a number of exciting striking exchanges with neither giving much ground. However, Olsim's strikes seemed to do the most damage, thus she was awarded the edge from the judges. Just as it was with the Lange-Jung bout, both Olsim and Diaz received Warrior bonuses after they gave their heart and soul in pursuit of the $100,000 contract.
Neither accomplished their ultimate goal, but they did enough to stand out in some way. Now they have laid the groundwork for another opportunity on the ONE Warrior Series stage, or even as a prelim attraction on a larger ONE Championship event.
Overall, it was a good night for the promotion, the contest and the martial artists who were able to gain monetarily as well as from an experience standpoint.

Terrified Mother Finds Children Locked In Theater After 'Avengers: Endgame' Screening
by Leo Rydel on July 13, 2019
A family outing to Avengers: Endgame turned sour when kids finished the movie only to see dark lights and a locked theatre after it ended.
Robert Downey Jr. Says Last Iron Man Suit In 'Avengers: Endgame' Was Not Designed For Him To Survive
Julie Huff, a resident of Norwalk, said she and her family went to see Avengers: Endgame with a gift card she got for Mother's Day. The family went to the AMC Classic Southridge 12 movie theater. While her boyfriend and youngest child went to see Secret Life of Pets 2, her two older boys went to check out the latest Avengers film. The boys were the only two in the theater.
Since Secret Life of Pets 2 is only 90 minutes, Huff and the rest of her family went to a strip mall while her older sons finished Avengers: Endgame. She checked in on them before leaving. While she left, the theater crew were sweeping and cleaning, but families were still present at the theater.
After Avengers ended, Huff came back to get her sons and the theater was dark. No adults or families were there. Huff talked to the Des Moines Register about her experience:
"Nobody was there, I couldn't get inside, and it was completely dark."
Huff nearly called the police, but her children came running out of the dark in the theater. She continued:
"I didn't know what to do at first, I thought maybe the theater called the police to come get my kids."
REPORT: 'Stranger Things' Star Millie Bobby Brown Joins Marvel Studios' 'The Eternals'
Huff submitted a complaint to AMC's guest services. Unfortunately, AMC theatre told her there wasn't much they could do about it. AMC guest services told her:
"Upon further view of your account, I could not access any further recollection of the purchase. Therefore, there is nothing I can do on my end."
What do you think of this haunting Avengers: Endgame tale? Do you think Julie Huff should at least be reimbursed for her troubles? Let us know your thoughts down in the comments!
Here is the synopsis for Avengers: Endgame:
The grave course of events set in motion by Thanos that wiped out half the universe and fractured the Avengers ranks compels the remaining Avengers to take one final stand in Marvel Studios' grand conclusion to twenty-two films, "Avengers: Endgame."
Directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, Avengers:Endgame stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Don Cheadle, Paul Rudd, Brie Larson, Karen Gillan, Danai Gurira, Benedict Wong, Jon Favreau, Bradley Cooper, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Josh Brolin.
Avengers: Endgame will be available on Digital HD starting July 30 followed by a 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD release on August 13.

While plot details still remain under wraps, Earth's Mightiest Heroes are expected to team up with Brie Larson's Captain Marvel and utilize the Quantum Realm in their efforts to undo the decimation from Thanos' snap and bring back half of the universe's population which was turned to dust by the Mad Titan.
Here is the plot synopsis for Endgame:
A culmination of 22 interconnected films the fourth installment of the Avengers saga will draw audiences to witness the turning point of this epic journey. Our beloved heroes will truly understand how fragile this reality is and the sacrifices that must be made to uphold it.
Directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, Endgame stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Don Cheadle, Paul Rudd, Brie Larson, Karen Gillan, Danai Gurira, Benedict Wong, Jon Favreau, Bradley Cooper, Gwyneth Paltrow and Josh Brolin.

Willebroek has the upper hand during E(Y)BBC 2015
Brassband Willebroek gained second place in the championship division scoring 96% during a well-filled 38th European Brassband Championship in the German city of Freiburg. In a competition that is becoming more and more attractive on an international level, they came in second only by 1% difference from the semi-professional Black Dyke Band, who also won the soloist prize.
On Wednesday 29 April we left for the German village of Lenzkirch. We left in the morning, but not too early, taking our night owls into account. One hour before arrival we passed through Freiburg and by the Konzerthaus, the place where the EBBC 2015 took place from the 1st to the 3rd of May.
BBW seemed to be in quarantine in an idyllic hotel on one of the winding roads somewhere in the Black Forest. On Wednesday evening we arrived without any delay. We had the opportunity to taste some of the local specialties and we started rehearsal at 8a.m., just as we did the weeks before. We had found locals with a very big heart who permitted us to use the school (percussion included). The German acoustics took a bit of getting used to, but it didn't take long before we felt at home in the rehearsal location, which was very well equipped. After rehearsal we went to bed, as our caring Jaak advised, so that we'd be fit and ready again to dot our i's and cross our t's the next day.
On Thursday there was some time to relax in the lobby, to take a little walk, to play a litte board game, … before section and tutti rehearsals. When it was time to eat we relocated to the local Italian restaurant, not only for the amazing cooking, but also (and mostly) for the free WiFi. After lunch Guido Segers took the liberty of honouring us with his company and expert advise. He was a huge help in unravelling and finetuning the last details. The set piece 'The God Particle' by Rudolf Rudin was no joke. If possible, it was even harder and more complicated than the set piece of last year. But as always, Frans and his band put themselves to it, for more than 100%.
Friday morning Jaak fixed the perfect draw for us: we had to perform 11th in 12 bands. In the afternoon we left for the Konzerthaus in Freiburg. It soon became clear that there was some delay in the timing of the performances, which lead to us getting on stage at a little past 11p.m. on Friday night. The acoustics of the big concert hall appeared to be no help in performing the very rythmic and delicate opening of the set piece, but we did played our best performance of the piece. Despite of the late hour there were a lot of brave listeners who treated us with an extremely enthusiastic applause. Afterwards BBW almost immediately got on the bus for the hotel to focus on our own choice, ' The journey of the Lone Wolf' by Simon Dobson.
Saturday after breakfast Jaak again managed to get us a perfect draw: this time we had to perform as number 10 of 12 bands. Our bus trip to Freiburg was preceded by a short rehearsal, since the work was still fresh in our memories. Meanwhile we knew the acoustics of the concert hall, so we entered the stage with a lot of faith and ambition. After the set piece BBW was ranked among the 3 best according to the audience and Internet forums and the band was praised for its unique and warm sound. We were still in the running to end up high in the rankings and – who knows – if we were able to give a great performance of our own choice, maybe we could win one of the top prizes. The band played at its best and the atmosphere on stage was amazing. Our musicians experienced something unique that moment, something that newcomers as well as long time band members described with all known superlatives. The climax of the experience was that the audience jumped up during our last chords an applauded minutes on end during a standing ovation.
We had done all we could; the rest was in the hands of the jury. During the announcement of the results BBW, together with the world-famous Black Dycke Band, appeared to have performed on a constant level during the weekend. Both on the set piece as on the own choice we got 96%; Black Dyke was slightly better, getting 97% on both pieces. Brassband Willebroek got a silver medal on the most prestigious contest in the brassband world. This really felt rewarding after a period of hard work and this gives us hope for the future. Afterwards there was a little time for a quick visit to the brass party, (since our bus had to return to the hotel on time) and a visit to a local pub in Lenzkirch, where the smoking band members enjoyed the opportunity to smoke inside.
On Sunday morning some of us rose and shone better than others. However we all went to cheer for our youth band, Young Brassband Willebroek that competed in the European Youth Brassband Championships, which has 2 divisions. 4 bands participated in the highest division (premier section). Young Brassband Willebroek, also conducted by Frans Violet, won the title with a stunning 98% and principal cornet player Lode Violet also won the soloist prize.
With this title the European Brassband Championship was a successful journey for Frans Violet and his disciples, bringing back 3 top prizes to Belgium. This is something unique in the history of the Flemish music world and the brassband world.

FORTUNE — Now that American education has entered the era of the MOOC — the Massive Open Online Course — the opportunity for cheating appears greater than ever. The omniscient Google search engine is never more than a few keystrokes away for the computer-bound. So how can a proctor possibly manage the far-flung multitudes, let alone smoke out cheaters taking tests across the Internet?
Using technology, of course. While proctoring services via webcam and plagiarism-detecting software have been around for several years now, an India-based startup has come to America — Silicon Valley, obviously — with automated, algorithm-based techniques for netting cheaters that the company claims are even more sophisticated and foolproof. Essentially, if you try to pull a fast one, your computer will rat you out.
The online assessment company Mettl has incorporated a handful of technologies into its test-taking platform, creating, for the duration of an exam at least, a mini-surveillance state.
Here's how it works: A test-taker signs on to Mettl and selects his/her exam from the site's library of pre-loaded tests. Facial and keystroke recognition technology verify the person that has signed in is the person they say they are, and the system records both the test-taker (through the webcam) and the test-taker's screen throughout the test.
Mettl's technology uses the test-taker's webcam to detect how many people are using the computer. Soon, it will track eye movement well enough to sense whether the test-taker is looking away from the screen, perhaps to consult a smartphone or a friend on the sly. Mettl also monitors the test-taker's screen and can detect when the test-taker has changed tabs or browsers or moved from the test. The system will soon be able to record sound, and thus detect whether the test-taker is talking or being talked to.
If any irregularities are detected, the system flags the incident and reports it back to the test's administrator. This can trigger any number of things, depending on the test-giver's wishes: a complete shutdown of the exam, a warning message that appears on the test-taker's screen, even human intervention — via webcam — from Mettl's control center.
Ketan Kapoor, co-founder and CEO of Mettl, notes that the mere threat of being caught serves as a great deterrent to cheating. Kapoor founded the company in 2010 with an old friend and former BCG consultant, Tonmoy Shingal, when the pair realized the opportunity presented by India's exploding population of educated youth and the growth of online education.
Among the many areas where they found that technology could offer improvement? Assessment. In India, there are huge national tests given for job recruitment and professional certification purposes. Kapoor and Shingal saw that the considerable task of managing these mass assessments would only become bigger as the number of participants increased.
The young company's platform and proctoring and assessment services are now used by 200 corporations and universities around the globe; most are in India, such as Accenture (ACN), Cognizant (CTSH), and PricewaterhouseCoopers.
Mettl, which has 50 employees and has raised $4.5 million in funding, is hoping its new U.S. presence will help it break into the country's sizeable recruiting and MOOC markets. It is well on its way: The company has proctored more than 1 million assessments since its launch, and projects "a few million" in revenue this year.


Can I add Samsung SSD 960 EVO 250GB M.2 MZ-V6E250BW to Aspire VN7-571G 59pm?
No, it doesn't support NVMe, you can install M.2 SATA SSD(6Gb/s).
So I managed to buy myself a Samsung 960 EVO NVMe 250gb card abroad for my Acer Aspire v5-591G before finding this thread.
Thanks for an awesome reply - and a swift one!
