This one came from OSSA race engine builder Bob Bennett. Bob sponsored a Phantom rider for years. I watched him practice at the Onion Farm, boy could he make that thing go! Impressive. It's in nice enough shape not to require a full restoration. I was able to find original rear shocks. Installed a Hoss tank and some other parts plus some clean-up. We freshened up the top end – runs strong! Crank bearings are a little noisy and the transmission does not shift as well as it should – I will attack that this winter! These "late" model Supers with increased suspension and Desert Phantom porting do not come along every day. I'm glad to have one!


Kinfonet Quote of the Day: Transformation can only take place immediately; the revolution is now, not tomorrow.
So, is it not an obvious fact that what I am in my relationship to another, creates society; and that, without radically transforming myself, there can be no transformation of the essential function of society? When we look to a system for the transformation of society, we are merely evading, the question, because a system cannot transform man; man always transforms the system, which history shows. Until I, in my relationship to you, understand myself, I am the cause of chaos, misery, destruction, fear, brutality. Understanding myself is not a matter of time; that is, I can understand myself this very moment. If I say, `I will understand myself tomorrow', I am bringing in chaos and misery, my action ia destructive. The moment I say that I `will' understand, I bring in the time element and so am already caught up in the wave of confusion and destruction. Surely, understanding is now, not tomorrow. Tomorrow is for the lazy mind, the sluggish mind, the mind that is not interested. When you are interested in something, you do it instantaneously, there is immediate understanding, immediate transformation. If you do not change now, you will never change; because the change that takes place tomorrow is merely a modification, it is not transformation. Transformation can only take place immediately; the revolution is now, not tomorrow.

Longview goes deep again (Apr 2008)
At the time of their 1997 self-titled debut on Rounder, Longview quickly came to be regarded by many as the first bluegrass "supergroup," a coalition of six of the leading lights of the contemporary bluegrass scene. The project was successful enough to spawn two follow-ups, "High Lonesome" (1999, also on Rounder) and "Lessons In Stone" (2002, on Rebel). Now back with Rounder after a six-year hiatus, they return with "Deep In The Mountains," yet another throwback to the "stacked" three-part harmony drawn straight from the era before the term "bluegrass" came into widespread use to describe the genre.... more
James King becomes the bluegrass storyteller (Mar 2005)
When a song moves bluegrass singer James King to tears he knows that it's time to head back into the studio. And, that's exactly what he did recently to record his latest disc, "The Bluegrass Storyteller." After a dozen years singing sorrowful songs, the high and lonesome baritone clearly knows when the time is right to make some more music. Driving through Chicago, on the way to Hayward, Wisc. for a string of 3 dates at a casino, the 46-year-old emotive storyteller talks about his influences, what makes a good story and his new album - recently released on Rounder Records.... more
James King takes the long view (Mar 2002)
"That song hits home," says bluegrass stalwart James King, 43, as he talks about "Thirty Years Of Farming," the title track from the newest release - his fourth - on Rounder Records. While "Thirty Years Of Farming" is a trademark King treatment of a song that tells a sad story, the Virginia native and resident is anything but downbeat about his career and about the business of bluegrass. King is also celebrating the recent release on Rebel of the third Longview release, "Lessons In Stone,"... more
James King: stands tall (Jan 1999)
Jaames King isn't a tall man, but with the recent release of "Bed By The Window" and the forthcoming release of a second album by Longview, the "supergroup" with which he sings, he is a man with a high profile in bluegrass. "It's unreal," the Virginia native says backstage at the Mountain Arts Center (MAC) in Prestonsburg, Ky. recently. "I don't mean to boast, but we really seem to have a hit. When the album came out, and I actually held it in my hands, I looked at (producer/Rounder Records partner) Ken Irwin, and said, 'well, what do you think?' He said, 'it's mighty strong; we'll know how it does in a few months.'"... more

"bending the laws of 3D space..."
Optical illusion is at the heart of his work. Perception is dependant upon light, angle and distance from an object. 'Is what we see actually there or is it a trick of the light'? Take a step in any direction and the perceived image of an object can change. These shifting perceptual qualities have come to dominate Anthony's work, and are clearly an infinite source of inspiration.
Anthony's pieces utilise these quirks of perception to their maximum effect through the use of meticulously made refractive components, painstakingly pieced together. The end result being beautifully constructed optical sculptures which seem to bend the laws of three dimensional space.
After completing his training in architectural model making in 1999, Anthony began an apprenticeship at London Glassblowing, where he first discovered an aptitude towards coldworking (the meticulous process of cutting and polishing glass once cold).
Over the following years, Anthony experimented with various glass disciplines, as well as incorporating many unusual materials into his work. However, there is always a strong architectural aesthetic at the root of Anthony's creations, which he puts down to his architectural background.
'As an artist, my model making training has proved invaluable, as it has given me a unique perspective from which to approach my work both in hot, and cold glass, not to mention the discipline and patience needed for the sheer time scale many of my projects require'.
In 2005 at the age of 27, Anthony won the prestigious 'Glass Sellers Award' (other recipients include Alison Kinnard, Colin Reid, Richard Jackson, and Bob Crooks) making him one of the youngest ever recipients of the Glass Sellers main prize.
Over the past fifteen years Anthony's work has been exhibited extensively throughout the UK. Featured exhibitions include the British Glass Biennale (2004, 2006, 2008, & 2012), Modern & Contemporary Glass at Bonhams 2009, Remarkable Glass at Contemporary Applied Arts 2010 and Collect at the Saatchi Gallery.
months as he puts the finishing touches to his collection. He admits to having Christmas Day off, but will work through his 40th birthday – a fortnight before Collect – and celebrate once the show closes.
Is he happy with what he'll be showing this year?
This year's work is smaller in size and, given 2019 will be Anthony's 20th year in glass, it's the beginning of a retrospective. "I've decided to revisit several ideas I've had over the years and rejigged them…approaching them with more practised hands.
"I'm doing a group of scent bottles called Orrery Bottles – an old medieval device for plotting paths of planets. They were the first things I made in this cut, polished way. I've really enjoyed making them bigger with a bit of colour and crisper.
through, having half a dozen bottles on the go and each one requiring a different mindset." Other work includes two Annulum pieces, Spinnaker and three keepsake pods he made for an earlier show.
"I just really enjoyed making those pieces and people really like them. It is quite a lot of work but this is going to be quite something. "Yes, my style of work is an acquired taste. Peter's work is very approachable- beautiful soft shapes, three-dimensional canvas quality and splashed in bright colour. He would be Mozart…lovely tunes but music that everyone likes. I'm Stravinksy or Wagner – challenging to get into but worth persevering.
So what has changed for him in the last 20 years?
making mistakes all the time. Then I made less, then hardly any and then you get good at pre-empting them. You begin to know where problems will come.
Yet despite this artistic myopia, one of Anthony's most exciting experiences of 2017 was an award-winning collaboration with Cathryn Shilling. "We won the Craft and Design award at the biennale in August and it really was one of the most enjoyable pieces I've worked on," he says enthusiastically.

Riffa, Bahrain, August 25, 2017 - Mexico forced the decider upon Chile, to eventually win (19-25, 25-21,17-25, 25-22, 15-7) in the 17th-20th place playoff of the 2017 FIVB Volleyball Boy's U19 World Championship at Isa CIty Sports Hall on Friday.

Esteban Mulchi led the Chilean side, scoring a total of 19 points in the match. The Norceca side posted a total of 66 attacks, showing their advantage in running their plays cohesively. While Chile started off strong, showing a good balance of offence and defence, their opponents persisted with every point. The Mexican side proved better in transition plays, and performed well with their counterattacks. The Chilean side needed to be stronger on serve (seven aces) and blocks (16 points) to be able to address the strengths of their competitors. Mexico forced the decider and continued their momentum all the way to their second victory in the competition.

Last Saturday I had the chance to go and do a bit of The Grand Strzelecki Track. This is a community based, longish distance track that came about from funding after the Black Saturday Fires.
I walked the Mount Tassie Loop starting and finishing in Balook. This is a slightly unusual walk in that it passes through a fair bit of timber plantation land. I'm no fan of clear felling and walking through timber coupes, so I set off with fairly low expectation on this walk, now I'm not going to try and tell you that it was stunning but it was a lot better than I had feared. The forest in the section along the Duff Sawmill Heritage Trail was particularly good.
Traversing the side of Mount Tassie on West Face Track.
Another goodun' Kev. Thanks for posting.
I have walked part of this loop. I found some sections nice but I don't think I'd do it again. I think the sections through Tarra Bulga are a lot nicer.
The GST is worth doing end to end, including the loops. There are some lovely forest sections.

I'm looking for some ideas for the Jan 26 long weekend. Friends aren't keen on the long drive to the high country so I'm trying to think outside the box. Looking at the map of the GST it looks like a 3 day circuit could be done in a few ways. Maybe starting at Tarra Valley and combining the Tarra Valley and Mt Tassie loops, or the Tarra Valley and Macks Creek loops. I have heard people say that the GST is really better for day walks than for overnighters, but I figure if it's nice enough to bother walking then why not camp as well?
Any other suggestions for which parts are nicest and how to make a 3 day walk work?
Just wondering too, is the track mostly shady? If it's hot then walking in shady, ferny mountain ash forest would be nice.
40 degrees Sat and Sun means no walking anywhere for me! Except perhaps into some large body of water somewhere.

The blood clots are blood masses produced by the body to stop bleeding caused in the wall of a blood vessel.
A thrombus is a blood clot that appears inside the walls of blood vessels or heart. Thrombi decrease the diameter of a blood vessel hampering or impeding blood to flow fluently, something which is known as thrombosis.
For example, a thrombus involving the vein of the kidneys can cause renal vein thrombosis.
Thrombi often do not present any symptoms. Other times, they can have very different symptoms related to the body or body part they affect the following: fatigue, shortness of breath, dizziness, lack of urination, blood in the urine, flank pain, swelling with numbness, possible redness, lumps in the veins, gangrene, etc.
– Genetic factors: Some people have a genetic predisposition to produce increased blood clotting.
– Diseases of the blood vessels: Among them we have, for example, phlebitis, arrhythmia, endocarditis, hypertension, heart failure, or obstruction of the carotid arteries or veins.
– Increased proportion of coagulation factors: There are a number of proteins, called coagulation factors (fibrinogen, prothrombin, calcium, etc) that facilitate Thrombi formation. For example, when fibrinogen levels are higher, you are more likely to blood clots. These levels in particular can be enhanced by the ingestion of drugs or certain stages of life, including pregnancy.
Other proteins, such as protein C, have anticoagulant properties. Deficiencies in these vitamins can promote blood clotting too much.
– Burns: burned tissues may enter the bloodstream.
– Ingestion of certain drugs, such as oral contraceptives, or cocaine.
– Cholesterol: The presence of "bad" cholesterol promotes the formation of clots.
– Smoking: Nicotine is a vasoconstrictor that decreases the thickness of the arteries and coronary vessels, increases heart rate and blood pressure. Smoking is one of the leading causes of circulatory diseases, such as arteriosclerosis, hypertension, heart failure, etc.
– Alcohol: Alcohol increases blood pressure. Continued alcohol consumption can lead to problems of hypertension. Many doctors believe that a little alcohol helps improve circulation and prevent heart disease, but alcoholism is detrimental to the body and causes it many anomalies.
– Physical inactivity: inactivity, such as sitting for too long, air travel, traveling by car, by train for long hours, staying in bed for several days, etc. may promote clots.
– Poor diet: A poor diet, rich in saturated fats and low in anticoagulant food may promote Thrombi.
The diagnosis of Thrombi is based on a physical examination of the area you may have symptoms of blood clots. In some cases you may need other tests to identify blood clots as angiograms, ultrasound or angiography.
The official treatment of Thrombi is focused on the use of blood thinning drugs to prevent the formation of new clots, thrombolytic drugs used to dissolve blood clots, anti-inflammatory drugs that reduce inflammation and reduce pain.
The natural treatment of Thrombi is based on the use of a series of natural resources that can help prevent or treat blood clots.

With the destruction from wildfires to California's North Bay area, The Family Coppola in partnership with BottleRock Presents and Sonoma State University's Green Music Center will host a massive charity concert, headlined by Counting Crows. Proceeds will benefit North Bay Fire Relief Fund and NomaGives, charities aiding the same cause.
More than 170,000 acres of land were scorched during the wildfires that spread across Northern California earlier this month, which left homes and communities destroyed.
Corey Beck, Francis Ford Coppola Winery's president and director of winemaking, explained in a press release: "The spirit of community in wine country is strong, and we are resilient, and it's times like these when we band together and help rebuild."
Dave Graham, CEO of BottleRock Napa Valley and BottleRock Presents, added that this event highlights an issue that hit very close to home. "Nearly all of us who work with BottleRock Napa Valley and BottleRock Presents events live in the North Bay and have been affected by these devastating fires in one way or another," Graham said in a statement. "We felt it was important to also bring music directly to the North Bay to raise both money and the spirits of our friends and neighbors in wine country. We are extremely grateful to all of the musicians, crews, volunteers, our BottleRock staff and all our partners and sponsors who have stepped up to make these benefit concerts possible."
Tickets, which range from $50 to $250, go on sale at 10 a.m. PT here.

Movie Review of The Notebook
Category: Books Movie Review The Notebook
In search of the perfect romance movie that would satisfy the hopeless romantic inside me I stumbled upon Nick Cassvetes' "The Notebook" in 2004. The movie is based on the novel of the same name by Nicholas Sparks one of my favorite authors. The movie follows a passionate but poor young man Noah, played by Ryan Gosling, as he falls head over heels in love with a rich young woman, Allie, played by Rachel McAdams. As it switches between the present day and flashbacks from the 1940's Allie and Noah's love story unfolds full of twists, turns, and obstacles the young couple go through before being reunited in the end. The Notebook uses its chemistry between the cast-mates, the idea that true love always finds a way to prevail along with beautiful cinematography to become a true romance movie you'll never forget. One very important ingredient in a romantic drama is the chemistry between the leading lady and leading man.
There is a special way in which McAdams brings her character Allie, the well known rich girl, to life while Gosling embraces his character of Noah, the poor but hard working southern gentleman, with ease. Together their chemistry convinces the audience they are watching two star crossed lovers fighting all obstacles to reach their happy ending. As Thomson states (2004) "It's hard not to like these two or begrudge them a great love together". That instant spark that is seen on screen between McAdams and Gosling makes you want to stand up and cheer for their love until the very end.
The concept of finding true love and going on to live a long blissful life with that one special person is not a foreign one especially in the business of cinema. Writers, directors, producers all seem to have an understanding when it comes to selling the idea of love prevailing no matter what the obstacles to an audience with plenty of films, The Notebook being no different. While you are likely to find yourself lost during the scenes of the present day and the flashbacks to the 1940's there are distinctive similarities and differences to all other romantic films that have come before and after it. Being a true romantic I can appreciate Cassavetes' attempt at displaying a love similar to even the love that I myself have experienced but so very different due to the tragic circumstances but according to Hornaday (2004, June 25) "Nick Cassavetes does everything he can to milk the maximum amount of tragedy from what, properly understood, qualifies as a reasonable happy ending".

New health alliance aims to improve the quality of health and wellbeing of our citizens
Queen's University in collaboration with Ulster University and key Northern Ireland partners have launched the 'Health Innovation Research Alliance Northern Ireland' (HIRANI) - a new alliance which will help drive and support ambitious growth in the Life and Health Sciences Sector in NI.
The new alliance is announced today (Wednesday 5 June) in Philadelphia at the Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO) International Convention, one of the largest international Health and Life Sciences conferences.
The HIRANI is an alliance between both universities, health organisations and other industry bodies across Northern Ireland which brings academia, healthcare and business together to promote collaboration, investment and growth, and is supported by Invest NI, Public Health Agency, HSC R&D Office, the Department of Health (DoH) and Department for the Economy (DfE).
Commenting on the launch, Dr Rob Grundy, HIRANI Chief Executive Officer said: "The establishment of HIRANI gives us a unique opportunity to articulate the strengths we have in Northern Ireland to a global audience of collaborators and customers.
"It will offer a platform for collaboration across the sector in Northern Ireland which will serve to amplify impact on a global scale."
The HIRANI will act as 'one voice' to enable the sector to collectively promote and strategically position itself nationally and internationally by collaborating and connecting across business; capitalising on major opportunities; enabling innovation; tackling barriers to growth; and advocating for the health and wealth of the region and the citizens of NI.
The ambition is that the result of this increase in activity will result in a surge of economic activity across the sector significantly impacting on the region's prosperity and an increase in the exposure of the Northern Irish population to cutting edge medical innovation which will have a direct impact on health and wellbeing.
Professor Ian Greer, President and Vice-Chancellor from Queen's University Belfast said: "At Queen's, we recognise that responsive, high quality education, research and partnership is essential to ensure Northern Ireland continues to be innovative and globally competitive in the Health and Life Sciences sector.
"The HIRANI elevates us to a new level to achieve this."
Ulster University Pro Vice-Chancellor of Research and Impact, Professor Cathy Gormley-Heenan said: "At Ulster University, working with our partners in Queen's and our network of industry and health organisations is a priority. Such collaborative working helps to deliver improved health and social care outcomes as
well as sustained economic growth for the region.
"This partnership will allow the HIRANI to be the driving force for the development of the sector in Northern Ireland and beyond."

Just did another 3 with CB. Ive done 15 miles in the last 3 days, he has done 9.5! He seems to have endless energy. At the end of every run he runs up the stairs as if he had all the energy in the world. I want to be like him!
I did not want to run tonight, but I promised CB I would take him. I am absolutely glad I did run.
No run tomorrow. It is a rest day from the 15 miles this past weekend. Muddy Buddy this weekend. I am super excited!
He is always game for a run. I love his enthusiasm.
It is starting to get warm outside, so I must be careful about clothing choices for the runs. I need to remember to leave the windbreaker at home!
Just did 3 miles after not running for nearly 2 weeks... Felt ok. Felt as good as I could have considering the lack of running.
CB always seems to enjoy the runs.
Ran 7.5 miles today in celebration for B2B. I did the race last year, it was fun and crazy but decided not to do it this year. Maybe I will do it next year for the 100th running of the crazy race.
Felt great! The shin thing is presenting itself again so Ice will be used shortly. Other than that, feel amazing and happy I did the distance today. It is the longest run I have done since the last 1/2 marathon i did in Feb.
Looking to do 20+ for this week. With 7.5 under my belt already, it shouldn't be a problem. I plan to do 4 miles monday-thursday and take the weekend off.
Takeout from ocean house. Spicy tuna roll, tempura veg and prawn, seaweed salad. No gluten!
That is the motto of the Nike Women's Marathon this year. The registration for the race asked us to fill in the blank with one word. "I run to be _____"
I wrote Amazed. Every time I run I am happy that I can run, that I am able to finish a 1/2 marathon (or any distance). I am amazed I can do this.
Ran 4 miles today- 3 outside and 1 on the elliptical and felt AMAZING! Even my shin thing isnt hurting. I had to ice it last night. While running I start thinking of other words to complete "I run to be..."
I run to be happy.
I run to be inspiring.
and with that, I fell short of my 20 miles for the week by a couple. Maybe I will make them up tonight. Tomorrow I plan to do 12K although I won't be running B2B. I will do it by my house to celebrate the B2b which is a crazy spectacle.
Did 3.5 miles with the Ham Dog. Was a great run- the weather was cool, I felt great, and Ham was being good.
Very excited to start training for the Nike Women's Marathon on June 14. One month from today!!!!! Then 18 weeks later I will be running my first marathon in 8 years! I am so happy and lucky to be able to do this.
Did 3 miles but with intervals. 2 minutes usual jog pace, 2 minutes 5k race pace (or perhaps faster) repeat. The last fast interval was 4 minutes- and I really pushed it.
Decided to take the night off and relax. I am exhausted. Going to bed early.
Salad- Spinach leaves, baked lemon pepper chicken breast, feta cheese, crasins, balsamic vinegar and EVOO.
3 miles on the trail and 1+ miles on the elliptical. Feel beat! Perhaps it is because I did not eat 8 Chomps or Bloks before the run like yesterday? Not sure. Good workout though! Running into a 20+ mph head wind is tough.
Looking forward to doing 20+ miles this week.
Nike Womens Marathon- 160 Days!!!
Muddy Buddy- 27 Days to go!!!
Ran 5 miles today. 3.5 outside in the wonderful windy cool Alameda trail. Then immediately did 1.5 on the elliptical-stair thing in my gym. I felt AWESOME! I want to go run another 3 but will not. Tomorrow is another day.
In other news, I lost 8lbs in the past month-month and a 1/2. This makes me happy! It really shows that eating healthy and moderate exercise can do wonders!
I have a cup or 2 of green tea most days.
I try to make mostly everything with fresh, unprocessed ingredients.
Laziness is the key to gaining weight and poor health. Simple lifestyle changes make a HUGE difference!
Past week i ran once. a horrible 3 mile run. Processed foods make my stomach hurt. Or at least I am 90% sure that processed foods (foods with additives/preservatives, etc) are something that i am allergic to/ my body (and the majority of other people) can't digest- not meant to digest..... This run was awful because it felt like i was going to explode. This week I plan to eat stuff that I make at home- no pre packaged, processed stuff and see what happens.
For the past week I ran 1 time- 3 miles and played everyday either basketball or tennis. Fun Fun!


The spectacle will take place on Tuesday December 18 at Ipswich's civic church – St Mary-Le-Tower – hosted by the Reverend Canon Charles Jenkin and his team.
Tickets are now on sale, at a cost of £3 per person, with all proceeds being donated to Suffolk Community Foundation's Surviving Winter appeal, which helps people who can't afford to heat their homes during the colder months.
It is set to be a wonderfully festive affair, featuring a range of our favourite carols and the fantastic choir from St Mary-le-Tower.
Brad Jones, editor of the EADT and Ipswich Star, said: "It's always a great event which will certainly get everyone in the Christmas spirit, in the fantastic surroundings of St Mary-le-Tower.
"What better way to celebrate the festive season than with our annual carol concert - and at the same time supporting a campaign that helps hundreds of people in Suffolk stay warm at winter.
Tim Holder, Suffolk Community Foundation's head of public affairs, will attend the service and give a charity address to the audience.
He will talk about the Surviving Winter campaign, which has been supported by this newspaper for eight years.
It has had its best ever opening month – with more that £65,000 already pledged towards keeping the most vulnerable of our county warm through winter.
The annual campaign, organised by the Suffolk Community Foundation (SCG), looks to support people though the coldest months of the year by asking those who receive a fuel allowance they do not need to donate it to others that do.
People can also make direct donations to the appeal.
This year's campaign has been boosted by the news that Woodbridge-based house-builder Hopkins Homes will match fund up to £30,000.
The Concert of Carols service starts at 6pm on Tuesday, December 18. Doors open at 5.30pm.
To buy tickets, pop into our office in Ipswich, located on the corner of Princes Street and Portman Road.

The most authentic country in Europe
Welcome to Ukraine
Ukraine has had a tumultuous history. Once part of the Soviet Union, it was led by the Bolsheviks and born out of the October Revolution of Russia. You probably know it for Chernobyl or the war with Russia, but Ukraine is so much more! Today, Ukraine is an independent state, modernised and thriving. A wide expansive land of mountains, bustling cities, and quiet rural towns. As the largest country in Europe, Ukraine has a lot to explore and discover!
Visit UNESCO sites and go to the beach
Kyiv, capital of Ukraine, has multiple UNESCO World Heritage sites, from Lavra to St. Sophia's Cathedral. Lavra (or Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, otherwise known as Kyiv Monastery of the Caves) is a grand and picturesque cathedral whose history can be traced back to 1051! St. Sophia's Cathedral was likewise built in the 11th century and is a living collection of catholic art and artefacts from across medieval Ukrainian history. If you'd prefer beaches to history, Odessa is a famous beach destination that's a surprising and perfect summer getaway. Ukraine's third largest city is lined with gorgeous beaches which are peppered with places to eat, drink, and relax.
Visit Chernobyl
Chernobyl is an irresistible part of any visit to Ukraine. The disaster site is a terrifying, humbling and intriguing experience. It's not dangerous to visit today – as long as you take all the safety precautions.
The Carpathians
Depending on when you visit, the Carpathian Mountains (and Carpathian National Park) are a dream for hikers and skiers. An endless white expanse of dramatic and rugged mountains that stand strong like a challenge for anyone daring to ski or climb or hike.
Europe's most charming city: Lviv
THIS is reason enough to visit Ukraine! Lviv is far from being the largest city in Ukraine, but it might be the country's best city. It boasts a historic old town in the centre, as well as a gorgeous opera house for history and architecture lovers. In fact, this historic centre has been designated UNESCO World Heritage status for good reason: Lviv is charming, peaceful, and alive with fantastic bars and cafes. I loved Lviv!

Best sights in Ukraine
Kyiv (capital)
Kyiv is an ancient city with a medieval vibe and some epic historic and religious architecture to explore. The people are kind and you can spend day wandering its labyrinthine streets.
Chernobyl (100km from Kyiv)
The site of the nuclear disaster of 1986 is now an untouched and abandoned town that's eerie and unsettling in its untouched morbid beauty.
Lviv (540 km from Kyiv)
A rustic and charming historic city with an incredible medieval old town at its heart. There's so much untouched architectural beauty to explore and so much relaxation to be done, Lviv is worth the trip.
Odessa (475 km from Kyiv)
Ukraine's third largest city is a beach-lover's paradise and a very chill second choice for those looking to escape the bustle of Kyiv. A beach resort town that still retain's the rustic charm of Ukraine.
Kharkiv (489 km from Kyiv)
During its time as a member state of the USSR, Kharkiv was the capital of Ukraine. Back then it was a place full of Soviet Russian history and brutalist architecture, which makes it a unique place to explore today!
Tunnel of Love (350 km from Kyiv)
One of the world's most famous abandoned places is an old railway line overgrown with lush foliage that's a favourite romantic walk. It's a sight to behold and best experiences in the summer and autumn months.
I always use Rome2Rio for traveling Europe. This site/app is so easy to use. It quickly comes up with a variety of transport options to suit your time and budget. All costs are shown, even taxis.
Europe (Ukraine)
Ukraine is mountainous and gets particularly cold. The best time to visit is pretty much any season except winter. The Carpathian Mountains is perfect for skiers through the spring and autumn months, so you don't need to worry about missing the snow. But during winter, the entire country is dark and cold and a lot of the best things to do (like The Tunnel of Love) are off limits or spoiled.
So make sure to visit Ukraine from April to October.

"Alexis pays very careful attention to light and lighting, both indoors and outdoors. As a result, his portraits are dynamic, striking, and the people being photographed are truly at the centre."
"Very quickly Alexis Cheziere understood the new angle Bayer CropScience were wishing to give to their visual communication. Thanks to the excellent photos from Alexis Cheziere, a product brochure using the new visual approach was able to be created. Not only did the work perfectly fulfil all expectations, but he managed to take the photos of colleagues at work without disturbing them in their field study of rapeseed."
"We enlisted the services of Alexis Cheziere in order to renew our dated photo library and have been fully satisfied with his work. The pictures are full of punch, the lighting is carefully mastered, and the shots are totally natural. Thanks to his serious work ethic, his excellent communication skills, and his curiosity, Alexis was able to put his subjects at ease and in the centre stage as he photographed them. The results are clear. We will gladly call upon him again."
"In very little time, Alexis Cheziere managed to capture and transmit the identity of the research units. He created pertinent, high-quality works using his artistic qualities: adaptability, dynamism, perfectionism, determination, and artistic talent. We hope to work with him again in the future."
"At once creative, curious, and generous in his work, Alexis Cheziere has been indispensable in photographically capturing the activities of the research centres that make up the Institut Carnot PolyNat. By using many original angles, playing with lighting, and posing questions to the various employees, he is able to immerse himself completely in our environment into order to produce an objective, realistic picture of the daily activities of our researchers. He is pleasant to work with and the results speak for themselves, all-in-all a promising mix for a long-term working relationship."
"Alexis Cheziere is a very professional photographer: we appreciate his creativity and we are very satisfied with his work. We highly recommend him: his work is really valuable, especially for scientific pictures and for human portraits."
"It is a really good selection of photos and I appreciate the image quality"
"Our collaboration with Alexis Chézière made it possible for François-Rabelais University in Tours to launch its photo library. Thanks to the quality of his photo reports, this project is a shared success. We hope to work with him again."
"A tripod, a style, lighting, an identity... that's what I was looking for when I decided to renew my company's photo book... and I found it working with Alexis, both through his photos, which are of course very professional, and through his original ideas and angles and his good humour on top of it all. Composing images with industrial machinery and scientific researchers who were not always clearly won over by the PR value of a professional photographer was truly no easy task... and yet we succeeded brilliantly together. As a result, we've done 4 projects in the past 3 years... and I'm sure there will be more to come."
"Alexis is very familiar with the world of higher education and also very attentive to his clients. He used his talents to adapt to the specificities of the EM Strasbourg Business School in order to complete several consecutive projects. His work won over the school's faculty researchers and clearly improved the photography resources of the communications department."
"Alexis Chézière knows how to capture the special atmosphere of each event. Consequently, the photo reports created during the Lyon International Chamber Music Competition marvellously illuminate the laureates in their artistic universe. During our VIP and management events, he knows how to discretely capture the expressions of each person to create results that are full of life and catch your attention. His excellent technique, artistry, and flexible, human approach make each project a source of much appreciated professional results."
"We really appreciated Alexis's professionalism. He was great at adapting to the demands of science. His artistic talent, communication skills, and curiosity made it possible to create photos that live up to our expectations. We will definitely call on him again."
"I wish to thank you for your professionalism and your advice. Your reactivity during the briefing made it possible to create an optimal report and be very efficient with each shot. Your relaxed demeanour with the students was a key to success throughout the report, which was carried out at a marathon pace. Thanks to your win-win attitude, the results were undeniable! I will absolutely contact you again for other projects if the need comes up."
"Just by looking at Alexis Chézière's photo book, I knew that I'd found the photographer who would be able to take original portraits while at the same time staying in keeping with the professional environment. The results lived up to our expectations. The portraits of our former students who have joined the workforce are astonishing! The photographer's excellent contact with his "models" was a really appreciable bonus for me as project director."

2012 is not looking to good for consumers. The year is not even halfway over and already, smartphone users are being hit by an onslaught of hack attempts. In fact, some security experts forecast 2012 as "The Year of the Smartphone Hacker." Smartphone users face a lot of risks. From infected apps to spyware to trojans targeting their bank information, many users are oblivious to the risks they run when using their nifty mobile devices. For example, more than 45 percent of Canadians have a smartphone yet most of them don't protect their information from cybercriminals. According to Derek Manky, Fortinet's security expert the naivete of many consumers puts them at risk. He compared the impending explosion of smartphone security threats with an earlier boom of malware infestations for the PC in the early 2000s. He said that we are already seeing the tip of the smartphone hacking iceberg with increasing reports of Android phone hacking.
Two years ago, Fortinet published 47 types of malware that attacks Android phones and tablets. Just this past year, Fortinet's list blew up to 4000 malware types. That number marks an astonishing 8500 percent explosion within one year. Most of the malware attacks involved apps that were infected.
Manky said that hackers would repackage an existing application like Angry Birds so the malicious code piggybacks on a legitimate application. Once repacked, they then spread the package with a malicious payload. How bad can it get? Smartphone malware can approve pricey text messages, send your bank information to hackers, and steal your contact list information, among many other activities. In fact, some malware can even relay your SMS messages to the hacker spying on you. The resulting invasion of privacy can be devastating. Moreover, the remote hacker can even turn on your phone's camera and audio feeds and send it to a remote location-in essence, turning your phone into a spying device.
How can consumers protect themselves? Before you buy an app, look for reviews and see if it is a real app. Malware is more prevalent with Android phones since Apple's system is more proprietary. Since iPhone users can only source apps from the more tightly controlled iTunes app collection, there were only 17 iPhone malware types detected since 2010. Regardless, consumers should be proactive and keep in mind that hackers are always looking for ways to get into their smartphone. Consumers should always password protect their units and keep their phone's operating system software updated.

Works Great - Best product we've tried for fleas and ticks - Our dogs spend a lot of time outdoors going on walks in the woods, in grassy fields, etc and we had tried collars, dips, other topical ointments and always ended up with ticks. Tried the Advantix based on our vet's recommendation, and have been extremely satisfied since. One of our dogs did have an allergic reaction the first time we used it on him, but we called the Vet and they told us just to give the dog some children's Benedryl. She was fine upon subsequent applications. As far as the poor customer service the other person wrote about in their review- I'm sorry they had a bad experience with the rep they spoke to, but why in the world would you call the manufacturer instead of your vet? Would you call the drug manufacturer if your child had an adverse reaction to a new prescription, or would you call your doctor? Only complaint is it is rather costly compared to other products.


Seabura is a thing of beauty. This style of ramen, sometimes called seabura chatcha (back-fat-sprinkled) was a direct result of customers in Tokyo's red light district requesting more and more hunks of silky smooth fat in their bowls. This was a long time ago, in the 1960s, and since then many shops have followed suit.
misato isn't far from said red light district.
Although shoyu is presented in the upper left, go for the shio next to it. You want to savor all the seabura, right?
Actually, you can choose your level.
Large pieces of simmered back fat are shaken through a strainer to break them up.
Some people think of pork fat as tough, inedible bits, but this stuff is practically liquid.
Maybe don't crush the bowl if your body isn't accustomed to this sort of soup.
Cool location in what looks like the ground floor of a government housing complex.
I shy away from posting too many gentei, limited release, bowls of ramen. They happen all the time, with famous shops often doing seasonal variations, special bowls for anniversaries, and, in this case, a bowl built for TV.
This show in particular was of interest to me. The name is 激戦区!頂上めしGP, which is a kind of local food battle program. This time the food was ramen and the place was Takadanobaba.
Spoilers; Yamaguchi got the top spot.
I'm a huge fan of Yamaguchi, and would put it at my number 1 for the area as well. This was from a list of 60 or so shops in about a three mile radius. That's a lot of ramen!
Why was I interested in this show in particular? I was on it!
Four ramen commentators were interviewed about the top eight shops, with special emphasis on the top two. Above is Layla, a famous female ramen critic. Below is Maejima-san, the guy behind the Setagaya ramen group.
Where am I? I was only on air for about six seconds. Yeah, a full day shoot for six seconds. That's par for the course though, when it comes to the type of media work I do.
Yamaguchi won the general ranking, but the show took things a step further. The top two shops had to create a custom, one-off bowl that would wow the judges. This is what Yamaguchi created.
Just soup and noodles. No toppings.
But that soup is something extraordinary. Made with three kinds of chickens and wild boar. This one was deep and meaty. The gamy aspects of both the chicken and boar were offset by the craft soy sauce used.
Yamaguchi's simple looking ramen was pitted against Watanabe's creation; truffle ramen. Fresh truffles were used to make the broth, as well as making an appearance as a topping.
The truffles came out on top.
I tried to sample the truffle one as well, but the fact that I waited an hour before opening for Yamaguchi was a pretty clear sign that I wouldn't be slurping both. These bowls were limited to just 50 a day.
You should go to Yamaguchi, even though this limited bowl is long gone. My original post about this amazing shop is here. I wouldn't be surprised if they are awarded a Michelin star next year.
Mitsui is located down a small, quiet alley in otherwise crowded Asakusa. Asakusa has, with the massive increase of tourism in Japan, become a bit crazy. New hotels, both corporate and boutique, provide hundreds more beds a night in this famous part of town on Tokyo's east side.
I'm a west side guy, so I don't make it out too often, but every time seems to be crazier.
I hate sending people to ramen shops that have a huge line of foreigners and English menus, so finding Mitsui was a blessing.
The shop serves Kitakata-style ramen, made famous in Tokyo at Shichisai. In fact, this shop has a direct connection to them, with the hand-massaged noodles being a big point.
Shio or shoyu. Both are light and refreshing.
The noodles are pressed by hand before boiling, and have a chewier texture than ones that weren't given the five-star treatment.
Everyone who visits Japan should try this style, it's often an eye-opening meal. Simple ingredients with deep flavor. I can't think of many shops as close to the tourism center of Tokyo that bring this level of slurp.
There are many mini trends in the Tokyo ramen world, and this year one of those is clams. Sure, long-standing favorites Hototogisu and Mugitooribu have incorporated a clam broth into their soup, and newer Sora as well, but there are more.
Clams give a wonderful umami aftertaste, and whether you go full on shellfish, or just use it as an accent, this is a trend I am behind.
Kai serves a few bowls, but the one that put the new shop on the map is their clam salt ramen - 貝塩らーめん.
The master takes Japanese little neck clams (アサリ) as a base, and adds mussels (ムール貝) and scallops (ホタテ) as an accent. This triple shellfish broth is enough to send anyone with an allergy straight to the emergency room.
Topped with simple, legit toppings, Kai is one to watch.
I noticed on the side of the ticket machine, they have many, many limited bowls. Clam Chowder Ramen? Yes, please!
This was for one of my ramen tours, and everyone came away a winner.
For those who follow my site, be aware that this is a new shop that hasn't blown up yet, so the line is only set to get longer. Enjoy.
Shinka is one of Machida's most revered shops. But, for some reason, when they opened a second shop, they did so only about one kilometer away. Hunh?
Well, this newer one is technically closer to the station, so I guess that is cool.
Same great chicken ramen flavored with a Japanese salt blend. Very high quality.
Shinka is very popular among ramen chefs. If you want to know where ramen chefs eat ramen, Shinka is on that list.
Upon further inspection, they have a 淡口醤油 - light soy sauce ramen - that is only at this branch. I may have to come back for that some day, even though this is one of Tokyo's best shio bowls.
Expect a short line up the stairs to the second floor shop.
Oyaji in Machida is one of the best miso ramen shops in town. But, actually, the Machida branch is just that, a branch. I finally, about six years later, made it to their main shop.
The menu has a few options, but you should go for the おやじ麺 - oyajimen - on your first time. Or go spicy. Or special if you want all the toppings.
As with most ramen shops, the upper left button on the ticket machine is the winner.
So good. The miso is blended with lard to give it a creamy, rich aspect. Simple toppings to match the complex soup.
They make their original miso blend onsite, and if you are lucky enough you can catch them doing it.
The sign says "Feel free to take photos of us making the miso." Unfortunately, they weren't doing it when I was there.
I didn't sense a difference from their Machida shop, which might be more convenient.


Hotel Salute, also known as the other written variation Hotel Salyut, is a hotel that has an interesting architectural style, and it is located in the capital city of Ukraine, Kiev. Located more precisely on a green hill at the right side of the Dnieper River, it is surrounded by lush greenery of the Pechersk District which is the administrative and cultural center of Kiev.
Designed in 1976, and built by 1984 by the Ukrainian architect Abraham Moiseevich Miletsky, together with N. Slohotska and Vladimir Shechenko, features 88 comfortable guestrooms of different categories with wonderful views of the UNESCO protected Kyivo-Pecherska Lavra and also the Dnieper River.
In the beginning the project of construction for this interesting building was supported by the Communist party leadership, however, after the collective refused to add the curator from the party on the list of authors, the construction project slowly began to decelerate.
This is the main reason why the hotel did not complete as initially planned, which at the beginning was supposed to be a skyscraper designed with application of interesting and cutting edge construction for that time. Also the budget for the construction entailed problems, making the building to have less floors than first planned where the plans had to change with the ongoing problems.
The work of art that we see today is the final result of the "great" direct collision between architecture and the power of the politicians. An interesting feature in the whole structure are the reinforced concrete walls that are counted to 19, which were used instead of using steel cables for support, which made the rooms little bit smaller, with no ability to expand, thus making the hotel not so effective from the start.
Still the circular form of the main building is something out of this planet, counting 6 floors for the rooms, and there is also a restaurant, conference hall, cafe, bar, and meeting rooms. In the back, what was suppose to be open fire escape stairways, now they are covered with steel frames, so that they won't be exposed to those who are throwing a glance at the hotel.
Nowadays, Hotel Salute as it is popular among the guests who are visiting the city, it is a great example of how the political power should not direct the way how the buildings should be built, and the people would continue to marvel this alluring Brutalist style architectural masterpiece.

While it may be difficult to bring technology to the government, cybersecurity is one area that impacts both the private and public sector. Facebook has had multiple data breaches, most recently in September, and cybersecurity crime, particularly where it concerns China and Russia, is constantly in public sector news.
This summer, Crunchbase News spoke with Matt Cutts and his teams at the U.S. Digital Service about their efforts to enhance cybersecurity at the Department of Defense (DoD). According to Axios and other reports, that program has been expanded and three private cybersecurity companies have signed contracts to participate in the "Hack the Pentagon" program. As a refresher, the program, which began in 2016, was established to help the DoD find vulnerabilities. The DoD works with private sector companies and also recruits white hat hackers from across the U.S.
HackerOne, Synack, and Bugcrowd were reportedly the three companies that secured the government contract. The late-stage startups are backed by investors ranging from M12 (formerly Microsoft Ventures), Benchmark, NES, and Blackbird Ventures. But those aren't the only companies working with the government. DarkTrace, Crowdstrike, and others have also forged partnerships with government entities at the state and federal level.
As Crunchbase News mentioned last week, security concerns and solutions are more mainstream. For startups, that is an opportunity to capitalize on.

Inclusivity at YMCA summer camp a 'lifesaver' for families with special needs
Summer childcare can be hard to find, but an inclusive summer camp helps families with kids of all abilities have fun during their time off school.
Inclusivity at YMCA summer camp a 'lifesaver' for families with special needs Summer childcare can be hard to find, but an inclusive summer camp helps families with kids of all abilities have fun during their time off school. Check out this story on kitsapsun.com: https://www.kitsapsun.com/story/news/2019/07/26/bremerton-ymca-provides-fun-camp-and-childcare-special-needs-youth/1843565001/
Jessica Darland, Kitsap Sun Published 4:38 p.m. PT July 26, 2019 | Updated 4:42 p.m. PT July 26, 2019
BREMERTON — On a warm July day, kids at the Bremerton YMCA chase each other, playing "mushroom tag" in a grassy field while they wait for their parents to pick them up.
Summer childcare can be a challenge for any working parents, but for families of kids with special needs finding childcare can be extra tricky. Kids with developmental or physical disabilities often need extra attention throughout the day, a structured schedule, and adults who can understand them.
For the Pritchard family, the Bremerton YMCA summer camp has been a "lifesaver" for nearly a decade. Nick, 15, and Gabe, 13, have found the camp fits their needs, and gives them a fun activity-filled summer.
"I think this has been a very good inclusion thing for them," said the boys' mother, Michelle Pritchard. "My sons are challenged with autism. Finding a camp that has been accepting to their challenges has been difficult. And we found one here."
Pritchard said consistency is important for her sons, and sometimes school schedules make that difficult. Their family uses YMCA camps and programs to fill the gaps both so the boys can be stimulated throughout the day even when not in school, and so their mother can work full-time.
"For me as a working parent, extended care has been my savior," Pritchard said. She said years ago their family wondered if she would be able to work a typical job while dealing with her sons' challenges.
"That wasn't going to happen actually at one time," she said. "So I pursued everything possible. What can I do to find something that works? And then we got this relationship established."

At first, the boys just came to the Y for half days, starting at 9 a.m. and ending at noon while Pritchard worked part-time. After they got used to that, Pritchard tried keeping them there for a full day until 4 p.m. Now, the boys go to the Y around 7 a.m. when Pritchard leaves for her full-time job at the Bangor Naval Base, and they leave when she picks them up around 5.
Pritchard worked with the YMCA herself to get the extended hours program set up, and now a multitude of other working families use the service for summer childcare needs. Her background in contracting and affinity for helping families like hers has inspired her to advocate to get more programs set up to help those with disabilities. She hopes to pave the way so that it's easier for others who have similar needs and circumstances to access things like childcare or healthcare.
Her ultimate goal is to set her children up so that they can be successful independent adults, and help other families achieve the same thing, she said. The YMCA's programs have helped them learn skills they need to do that, said Pritchard.
"It has to start somewhere," said Pritchard. "Someone has to pave the way, and I hope that I'm going to do that when the boys exit here and move on. And I hope that I pave the way for other families like this. That's what I hope to do."
The summer camp is for kids ages three to 13, but allows for special needs kids up to 15 or 16 to attend. The boys are currently in the "tween camp" which has weekly themes and field trips.
Field trips are a favorite of Nick and Gabe. Nick said some of the best were the ice-skating rink, Point Defiance Zoo, and going to Seattle.
"We went to an arcade, we ate at a restaurant, rode the Ferris wheel," Nick said of his time across the water. He said it was his first time riding a Ferris wheel.
"I still have a picture of it right here," he said as he pulled out his ticket from the Seattle Great Wheel.
Gabe said he was afraid the passenger car was going to break off while they were in the air, but it wound up being a fun time.

The boys' mother said the Bremerton Y summer camp is "absolutely right" for helping with their stimulation and sensory needs. She said they enjoy socializing and the different themes the weekly camps have, like Star Wars, sports, or Hogwarts.
"The boys have learned wonderful social skills, to life skills, to how to incorporate that in life and that's what we're going to take from here," Pritchard said.
Having the boys in an inclusive environment prepares them for the real world better than a camp specifically for special needs kids does, she said. She emphasized that it's still important that they have trained support to thrive in that inclusive environment.
Smaller group sizes are also important for the boys' needs, said Rese Knickerbocker, camp coordinator. They're split into groups of about 5-10 which allows them to get more one-on-one time with a camp counselor if needed, and not be overwhelmed.
"What I love about our camp too is there's never been any issues with our tweens trying to understand our special needs students," said Knickerbocker. "They just accept them as they are."
"They're so much more accepting and understanding than adults I think in a lot of ways," said Jonny Eberle, YMCA communications Director for Pierce and Kitsap Counties. "Kids just get it - that's my friend, and they're different, and that's cool."
Knickerbocker said there are many different activities kids can sign up for at the camp and being housed at the YMCA doesn't limit them.
"We're doing a standard summer camp program," she said. "We're doing games and songs and crafts; everything you would do out in the woods with a summer camp, but we bring it here to the Y with the resources we have."
One of Nick and Gabe's favorite activities at the Bremerton YMCA summer camp is swimming.
"At one time I didn't think they were going to be able to swim," said Pritchard. "And every summer they're at the deep end now, so it tells you this is really working."
"The pool is a big reason we come here," said Nick.
Another big reason the boys continue to return each summer is the support of the YMCA staff and its camp counselors. Pritchard said their family has tried other camps, including an overnight camp, but the staff wasn't as equipped to handle special needs as those at the Bremerton Y.
"This really takes a very unique way of teaching the counselors how to teach the kids," Pritchard said. "All kids learn differently, but when you're throwing autism in the mix, or down syndrome or a physical disability in there, you really need to know how to do that. This place can do that."

"A lot of times our counselors aren't necessarily coming in with an extensive special needs background, so we try to make sure to get as much training before camp starts as possible," said Knickerbocker. "Helping counselors understand what autism is, what Tourette syndrome is, what kinds of various special needs that there are. It's a great learning experience for them."
Knickerbocker said it can be challenging for staff to communicate specific instructions to the kids if they don't know a child's background or communication style, or certain triggers the child may have that the staff isn't made aware of.
"Some parents are better than others at communicating those," Knickerbocker said. "So I think for everyone across the board it can be a learning process. We treat each camper as an individual and not in a group sum, so that way our special needs campers get individualized attention just like any other student."
Pritchard said when recommending this program to other parents, she tells them they need to be open with the counselors so they know how to better care for the children's needs.
When Kelli Becker started working as a camp counselor three summers ago, she had never had much contact with special needs kids. Gabe was one of her first special needs camp kids, and she said watching him grow and hanging out with him has been great.
"He was my first experience with the spectrum and how to deal with that, and balancing knowing he had some needs I needed to figure out and also making sure the other kids didn't feel left out while doing that," said Becker.
She said it's helpful when parents let staff know what works best with their child so they can do the best job they can, and help other kids learn to interact with those with disabilities in a positive way. There are a lot of special needs kids who come to the camp, Becker said, but they're all different from each other and their needs are unique. Knickerbocker estimated around one in eight of the kids at camp have some sort of special need.

Nick and Gabe are able to deal with things they used to get frustrated by in a calmer way than when she first began as a camp counselor, Becker said. They come talk to someone instead of becoming stressed and withdrawn.
Becker attended a weekend training along with about 350 other camp counselors across the association that taught fun games as well as inclusive practices.
Knickerbocker has worked with those with disabilities for years and is someone who helps accommodate the kids that need extra individual attention during the day. She said letting the kids take a walk around the building, go sit in her office, or coloring out their frustrations can help them when they may not be able to verbally communicate a problem they're having.
"Sometimes trying to talk it out may not be the most effective, so we try to find more kinesthetic active things they can do to get their mind off what's making them frustrated," she said.

Stanford graduate turned rap artist, K. Flay is the newest musical hit from the Bay Area.
With her different style, a mash-up of hip-hop and Indie rock, K. Flay broke out of the expected mold of an alumnus from the respected school.
After several releases, two full albums and one more on the way, K. Flay has made her way to opening tours for Passion Pit and 3OH!3.
She has also shared the stage with well-known hip-hop artists Snoop Dogg and Ludacris.
Her passion and inspiration for music started from listening to her father's classic rock records as a child. She has memories of herself dancing in her living room to Parliament-Funkadelic.
Just like most hard-working aspiring artists, K. Flay started her way from the bottom.
In the summer of 2004, she got a job at a French restaurant in her hometown, Chicago, making just $4.95 an hour. Compiling her earnings, she purchased a basic Edirol keyboard and taught herself how to make beats.
K. Flay, whose real name is Kristine Flaherty, was inspired to start producing music from a college friend who was a DJ. She learned the ropes her sophomore year at Stanford and started what would become a blossoming career performing at campus venues.
Now with her new mixed style, she has been influenced by artists from Missy Elliot and Lauryn Hill to Fiona Apple and Liz Phair.
Even with her degrees in psychology and sociology, K. Flay decided to follow her dream of getting into music and becoming a rap artist.
"I'm just making music I hope my roommates don't mind listening to," she says.
After a year of preparing high school students for the SATs, she stepped out of the world of academia for a shot at the music industry.
"I think at some point, I was just so sick of sentence completion that I said, 'F— it,'" K. Flay said in an interview with Alternative Press.
K. Flay has a distinctive aspect that sets her apart from other artists. She makes her own beats, manages her own website, controls her own recording process and pretty much serves as her own rhythm section.
"It's still shocking to people who knew me growing up that I'm doing this, everyone thought I'd be a doctor or something, have a serious job," K. Flay said in the East Bay Express.
Most artists have a band to back them up on stage, but K. Flay is a one-woman show. When she performs, it mostly consists of just her and her laptop.
Though it may be a little more difficult, she feels that if you go on stage genuinely ready to give people good music, than they will give you a good response.
Touring with famous artists, K. Flay hopes to follow their footsteps.

Trading Volume is synonymous with Volume. It is the number of cryptocurrencies sold/bought during a certain period of time, multiplied with the price such cryptocurrencies were sold/bought for. For instance, if 10 tokens have been sold during a relevant time, and the price in all trades were USD 100 per token, the trading volume was USD 1,000. Trading Volume is most often measured in 24 hour-periods, but also often in 7-day periods or 30 day-periods.
