**edit** - Damn Friendzone is AMAZE. Unfortunate none of their stuff seems to be on Spotify though.
Also in recent months I've gotten into artists like Ninjoi, emune, and Stlndrms who seem to get cateogirzed as "lo-fi"? Is that basically the same thing?

Yeah, found out about them a while back. They really changed their style up as they progressed so I don't listen to them too much now. I tend to stay away from labels tbh, seems like hip hop is becoming similar to metal in that there are a 100+ different genres now because stuff sounds slightly different.
I'd consider something like this similar enough to Friendzone.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTBYFs007tw
For people that don't mind lyrics. Really not sure if this would be Jazz-hop or R&B tbh.

Can Warsaw mayor Rafał Trzaskowski reverse the fortunes of Poland's opposition?
Portia Kentish
Poland's 2020 presidential election has so far been nothing short of a roller coaster.
Here's a quick recap: Just four days before the election was due to take place on May 10, the vote was postponed, much to the chagrin of Poland's ruling Law and Justice party (PiS). However, while the country's main opposition party Civic Platform (PO) did finally get its way by delaying the election, things have not been plain sailing for its presidential candidate, Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska. A disastrous campaign (not entirely of her own making, given the difficulty of campaigning during a lockdown) left her polling at just four per cent. Shortly after the election was postponed, she pulled out.
Into the breach has stepped the current mayor of Warsaw, Rafał Trzaskowski.
Civic Platform is now facing an identity crisis. With Ms Kidawa-Błońska's campaign having fallen apart, Mr Trzaskowski's first goal has been to re-establish Civic Platform's status as the legitimate opposition party. As Professor Aleks Szczerbiak of Sussex University tells Emerging Europe, "Although he will obviously be doing everything he can to win, Trzaskowski's primary goal in standing is really to save Civic Platform."
Mr Trzaskowski seems to be at least self-aware of the challenge that he now faces, having told the Polish press that his situation was "not easy" and required "full consolidation and energy to fight and win in this election," while maintaining that "I hope this great wave of change will start in Warsaw."
Having entered the race significantly late, many view Mr Trzaskowski as being at a distinct disadvantage. As Paulina Lenik of the School of Slavonic and Eastern European Studies tells Emerging Europe, "Kidawa-Błońska left the race with virtually no electorate in her favour. Trzaskowski must not only leave the service he has just started [as mayor], but also catch up with the ongoing presidential race."
However, other analysts see his late entry as a strength.
As Martin Mycielski of the Open Dialogue Foundation puts it, "thanks to entering only now, he's free of the baggage that other opposition candidates have – the image of struggling, 'better than nothing' alternatives for Duda."
This "better than nothing" sentiment is a phenomenon that has been reflected throughout the opposition in recent years. Civic Platform, among others, consistently struggles to compete with the strong message of coherency PiS conveys. "Part of the long-term issue with Civic Platform is their inability to offer a credible alternative on the socio-economic issues that Poles care most about," says Mr Szczerbiak. Instead, much of the opposition has myopically banked solely on the fact that they are "the opposition" for voter support. Establishing a party identity purely by being "anti-PiS" has left many voters disenchanted, casting votes against PiS and Mr Duda, rather than voting for Civic Platform. Here voters are purely giving Civic Platform the benefit of the doubt, rather than enthusiastic approval. Therefore, the challenges that Mr Trzaskowski faces go far deeper than Ms Kidawa Błońska's collapse in support.
While Mr Trzaskowski's candidacy almost certainly falls short of giving the party the facelift it so desperately needs, he has quickly been able to inject some energy as liberal Poland's poster boy. Yet, as Mr Szczerbiak so aptly states, "Trzaskowski's greatest strength is also his greatest weakness". Paradoxically, Trzaskowski's success at personifying the young, liberal urbanite that allowed him to rise to success in Warsaw, are the same values that could see his downfall elsewhere. As Kasia Szczypska of the Open Dialogue Foundation tells Emerging Europe, "It's conventional knowledge in Poland that 'you don't win presidential elections in the cities'. It remains to be seen if he can win the hearts of small-town voters."
It is these conservative, rural voters that Trzaskowski has been seen to previously alienate with his advocacy of progressive values, such as his signing of a pro-LGBT charter in 2019. Gaining support in rural areas will take nothing short of a miracle, particularly as a result of his inability to win over softer conservatives. "He's a representative of the Warsaw middle-class intelligentsia," argues Mr Mycielski, "the exact opposite of the folksy everyman Duda, and the opposite of what the majority of Poles identify with."
Similarly, Mr Trzaskowski's performance as mayor of Warsaw is a double-edged sword. While it will encourage the liberal-left voter, his track record is something that Mr Duda's campaign can capitalise on. Due to Warsaw's typical left-leaning demographic, Mr Trzaskowski was able to win the mayoral position with a relaxed campaign, and his time in office has been beset with broken promises and a soft grip on power. As Mr Szczerbiak explains, his tenure in Warsaw would not make any difference to his prospects of re-election as mayor, as Warsawians would vote for him regardless. However, it will have a significant impact on a national level as PiS has ammunition to zero-in on his mayoral term that wasn't especially competent. Moreover, while his policies are more well-received in Warsaw, they are anathema to culturally conservative Poles in rural areas. Ms Lenik goes so far as to argue that his term in Warsaw has left him with a depleted political capital, reducing his chances of success at a national level.
Such a style of leadership could be the downfall of Trzaskowski, particularly if he finds himself in a second-round run-off against Mr Duda.
"As opposed to battle-tested, seasoned heavyweights like, let's say, former foreign and defence minister Radek Sikorski, Trzaskowski is kind, good-hearted and – many would say – soft, which might be his downfall in a direct confrontation with Duda. As one Twitter commentator put it: after the infamous sewage spill in Warsaw a couple of months ago Trzaskowski was explaining himself and apologising to citizens. Sikorski would have simply cursed and said that state TV headquarters had just exceeded its capacity for bullshit," explains Mr Mycielski.
Many members of PiS and its supporters have used the argument that Trzaskowski hasn't been able to look after the capital, and used this as "proof" that any potential presidency would fall short. For example, PiS MEP Adam Bielan urged "Trzaskowski to finally take over the management of the city", implying that he has so far failed to do so. However, while Mr Trzaskowski's leadership of Warsaw hasn't been a glowing success, it hasn't been dismal either, and Ms Szczypska argues that: "If PiS had any dirt on Trzaskowski, it would have put it to use back in 2018."
An internal party email leaked on May 21 asking PiS members to look for dirt suggests they still have little to work with.
"They don't have anything on him, so they're left with 'reheating old pork chops', as we say in Poland. PiS's propaganda machine is in clear disarray over Trzaskowski, as there doesn't seem to be one common narrative on how to attack him. Most commonly they refer to his pro-equality agenda, scaring people with the idea that he will flood Poland with deviants, or claiming he would support the liberalisation of the tough anti-abortion law, warning of his support for the 'culture of death'," Mr Mycielski continues. "These are nothing new and will hardly convince anyone already open to supporting him not to do so. It seems indeed more likely that they will put less pressure on attacking him personally, and rather focus on attacking his party. They will claim Trzaskowski would be the harbinger of the return of PO, which would undo their 'good change', taking away social benefits and putting Poland back in the hands of western overlords in Berlin or Brussels."
However, in spite of Mr Trzaskowski shortcomings, things are beginning to look up for Civic Platform. Since announcing that he would stand, his popularity has been rising in the polls and as the post-pandemic realities settle in, the attitudes towards the PiS-supported incumbent, Mr Duda, are shifting. The rally effect of the pandemic crisis that saw Mr Duda propped up is now dissipating, as a new reality of economic hardship dawns upon many. Moreover, the recent controversies surrounding alleged censorship of a radio station by PiS and faulty Covid-19 supplies from China have not done Mr Duda any favours.
Regardless, Mr Duda remains the candidate to beat.
"PiS has an extremely effective campaign strategy and a versatile PR team. Duda's recent appeal to the young generation on social media such as YouTube and TikTok, was mocked by many, but achieved a truly memorable imprint," says Ms Lenik. However, Mr Duda's campaign strategies are changing, and Mr Mycielski argues that PiS sees Trzaskowski as a credible threat.
In order for Trzaskowski to become an official candidate, Civic Platform now needs to gather 100,000 signatures. Mr Trzaskowski has expressed the hope that "the elections that are likely to take place in June will be democratic elections, not a farce". He has nevertheless expressed concern over the amount of time he will be granted to collect the signatures.
"Last I heard it was two days, with a worry it would only be one, but either way this will be extremely challenging and can serve as grounds for questioning the legitimacy of the election," argues Mr Mycielski. "Even with Civic Platform's robust structures this will be a difficult feat to accomplish, and PiS is doing its best to make the task even harder."
According to Mr Mycielski, this proves that PiS views the new Civic Platform candidate as a genuine threat. This is something Mr Szczerbiak contests, as he sees Trzaskowski's candidacy as an easier option for PiS compared to more centrist candidates such as Szymon Hołowina that would provide more competition. Of course, this doesn't mean that PiS won't try to restrict Civic Platform's ability to obtain the required signatures, but it would be illogical to do so, he argues.
The date of the election itself is still up in the air, and realistically could be anywhere between June and when Duda's term expires in August. Currently, Mr Duda is well ahead in the polls, at 49 per cent, and his place in the second round is a certainty. Who will be joining him in that second round is more questionable. Time will tell if Mr Trzaskowski is able to continue on his upwards trajectory and confirm Civic Platform as the legitimate opposition party. Another figure to look out for is Mr Hołownia, a TV personality and independent liberal who targets Civic Platform's demographic and may be able to grab the more centrist voter that Trzaskowski has alienated. Both are currently neck and neck at 15 per cent.
Most commentators agree that once in the second round, all opposition voters will unite around one candidate regardless of their initial reservations. And while Mr Duda is ahead of all comers in a potential run-off, anything could happen between now and the election, whenever that may be.
Ultimately the election will come down to who Poles will trust to take care of the country post-pandemic. For this, Mr Duda's campaign currently has the popular PiS welfare benefits scheme up its sleeve, arguing that only their man can be seen to look after those most heavily impacted by economic hardship. These handouts have been a sore point for the opposition, consistently unable to offer a viable alternative and leaving many figures with little option but to say they too are in favour of the welfare payments.
Another defining feature of Mr Duda's campaign is that the country will only be able to persevere with a united prime minister and president if he wins, and that any division of power will impede the recovery. Of course, this argument fails to acknowledge the importance of governmental checks and balances, and the potential to limit the power of a party that continues to infringe on independent institutions well beyond its scope, such as state-run media and the judicial system.
"Stripping PiS of the presidency will halt its legislative offensive," Mr Mycielski says. "This could very well be the last stand for Polish democracy and the rule of law – with the direction PiS is moving the country in, many of the changes, the chipping away at democracy, might prove irreversible."
Ms Szczypska agrees: "It can't be stressed enough what is at stake here," she concludes.

Q: Writing a technical book, structuring first then layout later possible? I want to write a Technical Book that eventually should go to Lulu.com for publishing, so I have to stick to certain strict rules about page sizes and layout.
I'm currently looking for a way to focus on the Writing and do the layout later. Essentially, I want to do some basic formatting like "header", "paragraph", "code", "bold", "image", but don't worry about the concept of Pages just yet.
When I'm done with the Content I want to layout the content by adding page breaks, auto-generated table of content, page layout (Margins, Gutter, Page Size,...). I also want a standard format that all books are following (the first few boilerplate pages in any book), so reusable templates would come in handy.
Essentially something that's usually Microsoft Word's domain, except that Word isn't very trustworthy and loves to randomly break stuff. Also, I want a PDF output.
I've never worked with TeX before, but it's layout capabilities are legendary, I just wonder if it's the right tool for my need? Take structured content, format it, make revisions to the content without having to do tons of re-layout, output a PDF (PDF 1.3 standard, embedded fonts)?
Or am I better off with something like DocBook XML or -gulp- Microsoft Word?

A: I would consider (La)TeX to be ideally suited for exactly the purpose you mention. It is definitely flexible in the sense that you can follow a very basic approach of typesetting simple elements (you mention paragraphs and figures), and tweaking the layout at a later stage (table of contents, margins, stock-size). The latter is typically obtained via the addition of packages in your document preamble that enriches the document's content.
Perhaps, as a start of why to choose (La)TeX above other alternatives, you could read the CTAN: What are TeX, LaTeX, and friends? entry. Listed there you'll see the "reasons most often cited for using TeX, [which may be] grouped into four areas: Output Quality, Superior Engineering, Freedom, and Popularity."
Even if your eventual output is void of mathematics, the output and layout (in my opinion as well as yours) is "legendary". Perhaps, just to start you off of seeing what is possible, consider reading up on the memoir documentclass by reading the documentation. Others will definitely suggest other styles and flavours, giving credit to the flexibility across many platforms. memoir also provides sufficient functionality to mould the page sizes and layout in order to "stick to certain strict [publishing] rules". However, other options also exist by means of the geometry package. Consider reading the package documentation - it provides a rich mean of configuring your paper stock, trimming margins, text block, headers, footers, etc.
From a very basic point of view, your document would have the following structure:
\documentclass{book}% or \documentclass{memoir}
%<preamble filled with packages and other goodies>
\begin{document}
%<your future lulu.com masterpiece>
\end{document}

Like anything, you'll have to get used to the way things work in (La)TeX, just like you originally did when you fiddled with typesetting in MS Word. But there is a multitude of resources out there to help (from this Q&A to the comp.text.tex forum, to the CTAN). Also consider, as a taste test of some future possibilities, viewing the TeX Showcase.

A: There's every reason to expect that you'll succeed brilliantly with LaTeX in your endeavor to get your planned book published. Focusing on the content is certainly always an excellent strategy. As you write various chapters, try to separate decisions over content from decisions about how the content may/should be formatted. That said, I wonder if you wouldn't be well served to set aside some time -- preferably reasonably early on in the process -- to settle on some key parameters such as the size (height and width) of the text block on a page; without that information, it's going to be nearly impossible, for instance, to go about developing at least a rough idea of how material in tables and figures should be organized. To give an example: whether the text block is going to be 3 inches or 5 inches wide, and 6 inches or 8 inches tall, is going to have a huge effect on the design of tables, and it's important to nail these details down early or else you're going to be spending significant time later on revising these materials in order to make them fit better on a page.
I was once in charge of organizing and editing a conference proceedings volume, and I was fortunate to have a couple of meetings with our in-house book designer. She gave me a lot of freedom over how big the pages and the text block on a page might be, but she nevertheless made me make these decisions early on. It was an amazing, eye-opening experience to have to think about these and other parameters early on in the process of getting the entire volume typeset. For instance, it forced me to be consistent in my approach to arranging the tabular materials in the various chapters of the book (contributed by various authors).
In your case, some decisions (such as the size of the page) seem already to have been made, which is great, but other key decisions may need to be made fairly soon. For more information on the design of books, I heartily recommend the document "A Few Notes on Book Design" by Peter Wilson, available on the CTAN at http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/memdesign/memdesign.pdf. The companion publication, "The Memoir Class," available at http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/memoir/memman.pdf, is the user guide to the memoir document class, which greatly facilitates writing complete, print-ready documents. While it is possible for seasoned LaTeX experts to manually assemble all the packages which, taken together, constitute the memoir document class, while sticking with LaTeX's basic "book" document class, I can't see a reason for doing so.

ROXAS CITY, Capiz – Anti-retroviral drugs, care and other needed support will be accorded by the government to people living with human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) or PLWHA who have been confirmed through a free HIV test.
This was disclosed by Philippine National AIDS Council (PNAC) director Dr. Jojo Feliciano during a recent interaction with the local media, adding that the call to action is for those into risky behavior to undergo the laboratory procedure to be able to avail of government assistance if found inflicted by the virus.
A PIA report said free HIV testing is now locally available in provincial government-run hospitals and City Health Office to interested Capiceños who would like to undergo the laboratory procedure.
These are at the Roxas City Health Office, Roxas Memorial Provincial Hospital, and Bailan District Hospital in Bailan town which have HIV proficient medical technologists.
The Provincial Health Office (PHO) along Arnaldo Boulevard also offers a clinical test aside from their personnel going to communities and local government units to conduct the test per request.
Based on records, there are 59,135 PLWHA cases that have been documented nationwide as of September this year.
"They are those who voluntarily registered with Department of Health (DOH) – accredited health providers which indicate that there are still PLWHAs who do not know their health condition because they have not undergone the test yet," he said.
On her part, PHO HIV/AIDS program coordinator Dr. Evelyn T. Bolido said that all pregnant women in the province are also encouraged to undergo HIV testing.
Pre and post counselling are being conducted to the clients who intend to take the test.
The province has already recorded 184 PLWHA cases from 1993 to August 2018.

What Is the Prewrath Rapture?
Putting these together, the prewrath rapture position holds that the rapture occurs at Jesus' bodily return as described in Matthew 24:29-31.
Where, in the order of end-times events does this occur? The prewrath view holds that the triple sign of sun, moon, and stars described in Matt. 24:29 is unique in prophetic history. It occurs only once. We see this sign again in Rev. 6:12-13 - the sixth seal.
The term "prewrath view" arises because scripture teaches that God's wrath is contained in the Day of the Lord (Zeph. 1:14-18, Isaiah 13:6-13, et. al). According to Joel 2:31, the Day of the Lord begins immediately after the sixth seal.
Therefore, the return of Christ and the rapture of the Church occurs immediately before God's wrath as contained in the Day of the Lord. Hence "the prewrath rapture."
The prewrath view also holds that the seals, trumpets, and bowls occur in succession -- first the seals, then the trumpets, then the bowls. Because the abomination of desolation occurs at the midpoint of Daniel's 70th Week (often mistakenly called "the Tribulation"), this places Jesus' return sometime after the midpoint of the 70th Week (or halfway through the Tribulation), and after the start of the great tribulation, but before the end of the 70th Week.
This is why it's so important to distinguish the foundational pillars of rapture doctrines from secondary beliefs. This enables believers to readily distinguish between different doctrines and evaluate their core teachings against scripture without being distracted by tangential issues.


Chief Executive Officer? Chief Visionary? Chief Cheerleader? Chief Salesman? Chief Funding Officer? Chief Communications Officer? Chief Team Builder? Chief Lightbulb Changer? Chief Coffee Maker? Yup, all of these titles apply to the role of a startup CEO. It is perhaps one of the hardest jobs to do in the business world, given the wide range of skills required to excel. This is one of the reasons only 10% of startups actually succeed, as it takes a really special person that has the right combination of skills and startup DNA. In many ways, a much harder job than a CEO of a Fortune 500 company, minus the big salary.
When it comes down to the core skills required, a startup CEO needs: (1) a clear vision of where the ship is sailing; (2) a finger on the pulse of the industry and competitive trends, to navigate the ship over time; (3) solid team management skills to keep all employees sailing in the same direction; (4) impeccable sales and motivational skills, while maintaining credibility with clients, investors and employees; (5) to keep the business on plan and budget; and (6) keep the company liquid. I'll tackle each of these points below.
The first two points really go hand-in-hand. In order to create the clear vision, you need to have a good sense to what is going on in the industry and with competition. That is really the first step to building a winning business plan. It is not enough to say, "we are building a great travel website", as there are tons of travel websites out there. You must shape the vision in a way it is more unique and competitive than current solutions in the market. My previous startup, iExplore, positioned itself as a niche killer for adventure travel (compared to the general online travel agencies like Expedia ). And, within the adventure travel sector, iExplore marketed "privately-guided, made to order" tours (compared to the traditional packaged group tours with set itineraries) at a price point 25% less than similar tours being offered (leveraging the cost efficiencies of the internet, compared to brick and mortar agents). This vision for the business created a unique product in the market place, which consumers ultimately flocked to with over 1MM unique visitors per month coming to the website.
2. Monitor key trends and pivot accordingly.
But, the CEO's job is not done setting the initial vision. He or she must stay on top of key trends in their industry or competition to navigate the ship over time. For example, after the economic impact of 9/11/01, iExplore needed to evolve from a travel agent of other tour operators' trips, into an iExplore branded tour operator of its own, in an effort to get more margin to the bottom line during a difficult economic climate. And, at the same time, iExplore opened up a whole new revenue stream from online advertising, to get the company to profitability while people were not traveling. It is the CEO's job to constantly watch these kinds of economic, industry or competitive movements over time, and to respond accordingly to keep the ship afloat.
3. Keep the team focused on the same goal.
5. Manage to key targets and budgets.
Keeping the business on plan, on budget and liquid is a no brainer requirement for any startup CEO. The CEO needs to set acheivable proof-of-concept points, and put key managers in place for hitting those goals. That means building a management dashboard of the key drivers for your business, that are going to dictate its success or failure. For iExplore, it was all about: (i) driving traffic to the website; (ii) getting those visitors to contact us; and (iii) getting those contacts to convert into a sale. So, all energy went into driving those three datapoints, with one key manager in charge of each datapoint (e.g., head of marketing drove traffic, head of web design drove contacts, head of call center closed transactions). Figure out your key drivers, and get the right team members to manage them accordingly. But, more importantly, you need to be able to quickly identify when things are not going to plan, so you can put new initiatives in place to make up for any shortfall. The longer you let cash-using problems go unfixed, the shorter your liquidity runway, and the higher odds you will run out of money and potentially go out of business. So, plan accordingly.
6. Keep the company liquid and in business.
The worst thing that can happen to any startup is running out of capital mid-launch or prior to full proof-of-concept, that would attract additional capital. So, it is the CEO's job to make sure those proof-of-concept points are clear to the entire staff, a reasonable timeline has been created to achieve those points and the company has enough cash (including a cushion) to get to those goals. The best people to solicit proof-of-concept input are your prospective investors. Ask them, "what are you looking for before you would be willing to fund our business?", and firmly focus on hitting those targets. And, when raising money, always raise more than you think you will need, to leave a material cushion for when things go wrong, as they always do with startups. And, if necessary, make the hard decision to cut payroll or overhead, to give the company a long enough runway to live another day.

Lynn Hunt was born and raised in Miami, Florida. From an early age she knew she wanted to be a writer. By the age of seven she was penning adventure stories, and as a fourth grader started her own class newspaper. As associate editor of the Miami Springs Junior High Eagles Nest, Lynn initiated a series of interviews with celebrities visiting the Miami area. "It was hard to say no to a polite thirteen-year-old." she recalled. Her biggest story came in February 1964 when she ducked beneath the outstretched arms of police at Miami International Airport and snagged an exclusive interview with the Beatles.
In high school and at the University of Florida, Hunt's interests turned from the "five w's" of serious journalism to feature writing and advertising. One of her first jobs after college was writing and selling copy for an Orlando radio station. She also tried her hand at magazine writing and was fortunate enough to have her first four query letters result in sales to national magazines.
Through the eighties, Lynn continued to write for magazines and newspapers, however it turned out to be advertising that brought her the most national recognition. As a copywriter and broadcast producer, her ads, radio spots and television commercials won dozens of national and international awards. In addition, she was named one of the top ten healthcare writers in the country.
After marrying an officer in the Royal Navy in 1989, Lynn worked as a freelancer in London and Washington, D.C. While in England, her passion for gardening in general and roses in particular was rekindled. Today, Lynn and husband Chris live on Maryland's Eastern Shore where she writes for The Discovery Health Channel, an independent documentary filmmaker and various national magazines. She lectures on David Austin roses throughout the eastern U.S. and serves as a horticultural judge for the American Rose Society. In addition, she's working on several books including a mystery and a fun retrospective on song lyrics of the 50's, 60's and 70's.
With all these projects going on, Hunt still gets calls from ad agencies seeking her creative assistance. "It's nice to know that even ten years after working with people they're still interested in my ideas."

Past Masters (ein englisches Wortspiel: etwa "Altmeister" und "frühere Master") sind zwei Kompilationsalben  (Past Masters • Volume One und Past Masters • Volume Two) der britischen Musikgruppe The Beatles, die gleichzeitig am 7. März 1988 veröffentlicht wurden. Es sind das zehnte und elfte Kompilationsalbum der Beatles nach deren Trennung, das bisher veröffentlichte Aufnahmen enthält, in den USA deren achtes und neuntes.

Entstehung
Vor Erscheinen der beiden Alben Past Masters · Volume One und Past Masters · Volume Two veröffentlichte die EMI zwischen Februar und Oktober 1987 die zwölf britischen Studioalben der Beatles und Magical Mystery Tour erstmals auf CD. Bei diesen Veröffentlichungen blieben die Lieder, die separat auf Singles, B-Seiten oder EPs erschienen oder die sonst nicht auf den regulären Alben erhältlich waren, unberücksichtigt und wurden stattdessen in chronologischer Reihenfolge auf den beiden Alben Past Masters • Volume One und Past Masters • Volume Two herausgebracht. Ziel der Veröffentlichung der beiden Past Masters-CD-Alben war, dass alle Lieder der Beatles auf Compact Disc erhältlich sein sollten. So enthalten die beiden Alben 13 britische Single-A-Seiten, von denen nur Love Me Do, in einer anderen Version, auf einem Beatles Studioalbum veröffentlicht wurde. Während Past Masters • Volume One und Past Masters • Volume Two auf zwei getrennten CDs veröffentlicht wurden, erschien gleichzeitig das Doppel-Vinyl-Album Past Masters Volumes One & Two.

Der Großteil der Lieder auf dem Album ist in Stereo zu hören, obwohl sie ursprünglich bei ihrer Erstveröffentlichung nur in Mono erhältlich waren. Die EMI griff für die meisten Lieder auf Stereoversion zurück, die anlässlich anderer Veröffentlichungen gefertigt wurden.

So wurde die Stereoversion von This Boy erstmals auf der australischen Single (Katalognummer: Parlophone A8103), bzw. kanadischen Single (Katalognummer: Capitol 72144) veröffentlicht, die Erstveröffentlichung in Stereo von She's a Woman befindet sich auf dem australischen Kompilationsalbum Greatest Hits Volume 2 (Katalognummer: Parlophone PCSO 7534). Beide Lieder wurden im Dezember 1981 auf einer zusätzlichen EP, die sich in der EP-Sammelbox The Beatles E.P.s Collection befindet, erstmals in Stereo veröffentlicht.

Yes It Is erschien erstmals in Großbritannien auf der Musikkassette Only Beatles (Katalognummer: Parlophone SMMC 151) in Stereo. Die Stereoversion von Yes It Is erschien ursprünglich auf der japanischen EP Help! (Katalognummer: Odeon EAS 30006).
Teilweise wurden jedoch auch Monoversion verwendet, obwohl Stereoabmischungen der entsprechenden Lieder zur Verfügung standen (From Me to You, Thank You Girl, Komm, gib mir deine Hand und Sie liebt dich).

Das Ergebnis des Mastering wurde neben George Martin von dem Toningenieur der Abbey Road Studios Mike Jarrett überwacht. Jedes Lied wird im Booklet von dem Beatles-Experten Mark Lewisohn kurz kommentiert.

Im Januar 1997 wurden beide Alben in den USA mit Platin für jeweils eine Million verkaufter Exemplare ausgezeichnet.

Wiederveröffentlichungen

 Am 9. September 2009 erschien das Album erneut im Rahmen einer Wiederveröffentlichung des gesamten Beatles-Kataloges, der einem Remastering unterzogen wurde. Past Masters wurde hierbei ebenfalls neu veröffentlicht, jedoch wurden die beiden zuvor einzeln erhältlichen Alben Volume One und Volume Two zu einem CD-Doppelalbum vereint. Gleichzeitig wurden alle Lieder – sofern vorhanden – durch Stereofassungen ersetzt, so From Me to You, Thank You Girl, Komm, gib mir deine Hand  und Sie liebt dich. Als Monoversionen waren weiterhin auf dem Album Love Me Do, She Loves You, I'll Get You und You Know My Name (Look Up the Number) erhältlich, bei der Singleversion von Love Me Do waren die Masterbänder weiterhin nicht auffindbar, sodass als Quelle eine Vinyl-Single verwendet wurde. Die Doppel-CD wurde von Guy Massey, Steve Rooke, Paul Hicks und Sean Magee remastert. Das aufklappbare CD-Pappcover wurde von Drew Lorimer neu gestaltet. Weiterhin beinhaltet die Stereo-Doppel-CD ein 32-seitiges Begleitheft, das neben Fotos von den Beatles, allgemeine Informationen sowie Informationen zu den Aufnahmen von Kevin Howlett enthält. Das Album war auch Bestandteil des The Beatles Stereo Box Set.
 Ebenfalls am 9. September 2009 erschien das Box-Set The Beatles in Mono, das neben allen Monofassungen der Beatles-Alben das exklusive Album Mono Masters enthält, auf dem alle Monofassungen der Beatles-Singles zu hören sind. Darüber hinaus sind fünf bislang unveröffentlichte Monoabmischungen von Liedern enthalten, die für eine geplante, aber nicht veröffentlichte Yellow-Submarine-EP gefertigt wurden: Only a Northern Song, All Together Now, Hey Bulldog, It's All Too Much und Across the Universe. Für das Album wurden die analogen Masterbänder überspielt. Die Doppel-CD wurde ebenfalls von Guy Massey, Steve Rooke, Paul Hicks und Sean Magee remastert. Mono Masters ist nicht separat erhältlich.
 Die remasterte Stereo-Vinyl-Doppel-Langspielplatte wurde im November 2012 mit dem The Beatles Remastered Vinyl Box Set sowie separat, die remasterte Mono-Vinyl-Dreifach-Langspielplatte im September 2014 mit der The Beatles In Mono-Box sowie separat veröffentlicht.
 Die Erstveröffentlichung im Download-Format erfolgte am 16. November 2010 bei iTunes, ab dem 24. Dezember 2015 war das Album auch bei anderen Anbietern und bei Streaming-Diensten verfügbar.

Pseudocapillaria est un genre de nématodes de la famille des Capillariidae.

Description
Le stichosome est constitué d'une unique rangée de stichocytes. Chez le mâle, l'extrémité postérieure est arrondie, dépourvue de palettes caudales contrairement à d'autres Capillariidae, mais munie de deux gros lobes sphériques situés en arrière de l'ouverture cloacale. Le spicule n'est pas parcouru de rainures transversales rugueuses, et sa gaine n'est pas épineuse. L'appendice vulvaire de la femelle est absent ou présent.

Hôtes
Les espèces de ce genre parasitent le tube digestif, rarement la vésicule biliaire, de poissons, d'amphibiens, de reptiles, d'oiseaux et de mammifères.

Taxinomie
Le genre est décrit en 1959 par João Ferreira Teixeira de Freitas.

La liste d'espèces fournie ci-après est élaborée sur la base des espèces reconnues par le parasitologiste tchèque František Moravec en 1982 dans sa révision des Capillariidae et dans son ouvrage de 2001 sur les nématodes de la super-famille des Trichinelloidea parasitant les animaux à sang froid, avec quelques ajouts d'espèces publiées après ces révisions. Elles sont réparties dans les quatre sous-genres reconnus par Moravec (2001).

Pseudocapillaria (Discocapillaria) De & Maity, 1996
 Pseudocapillaria margolisi De & Maity, 1996
Pseudocapillaria (Ichthyocapillaria) Moravec, 1982

Pseudocapillaria (Indocapillaria) De & Maity, 1995
 Pseudocapillaria gibsoni De & Maity, 1995
Pseudocapillaria (Pseudocapillaria) Freitas, 1959

sous-genre non-attribué
 Pseudocapillaria decapteri Luo, 2001

Le  de Joel K. Hallan ajoute une espèce au sous-genre Pseudocapillaria (Pseudocapillaria), Pseudocapillaria phoxini (Yu & Wang, 1994), species inquirenda selon Moravec (2001).

Of course, there are people who sit most of their day time, consume unhealthy meals and still remain healthy. Until certain times. As we all know, prophylaxis is the best treatment. You better don't wait for serious consequences.
Health tends to get worse if one doesn't watch after it. Symptoms can stay covered for years sometimes. But once they appear, it can be too late. People who rarely get ill don't appreciate that, and this is the biggest danger. So, don't be overconfident. Everything might break: Teeth, heart, lungs, liver etc.
This is the right thought, but it is an excuse as well. Got no motivation? Then do something for it to appear. Humans usually say the fact and just go on living.
Not true. Things go the opposite: bad eating and habits will cost you more. Refuse alcohol and smoking, and you'll save lots of funds. This money can be invested into a healthy eating.
Remember about other lacks of bad eating consumption: bad mood and feeling, that makes you unproductive. Health troubles cost you even more: caries, heart illnesses and many more. You'll need to pay for the treatment.
Just count what will be the cost of your healthy lifestyle. Won't the annual gym or swimming pool membership get its cost back to you?
It is never too late to start looking after your health. Human body has impressive possibilities, and it can recover really very fast. Additionally, the unhealthy lifestyle causes the organism to get old.
So, it is enough to refuse alcohol and cigarettes, and to start running and doing morning exercises in order to feel yourself young and healthy in a few months.
It doesn't matter how old you are. Start right now: refuse bad eating, create a diet plan for a week and start a new life.
Bad meals influence taste receptors so seriously a person starts thinking useful food to be not tasty. Start eating vegetables and fruits and you'll feel they are much tastier than chips, cakes and fries some months later.
Don't you like exercises? If you think so, don't worry. You've got lots of possibilities to find what you like: dancing, yoga, running, swimming, hiking, morning exercises. Choose at least something from this list.
It's not so, really. It takes you much more time to bake a pizza than to make a vegetable salad. About sports activities, things differ, but almost every human has a possibility to find 30-40 minutes a day for exercising.
Do you really think smoking and alcohol make your life better and more interesting? Will lung cancer or liver cirrhosis make you happy?
Full life is different. It is when you feel every minute, when you control your body and mind. And light drugs and other dependencies make you a slave who consumes more and more.
Don't look for excuses. It is trendy today to be a cynic who smokes a cigarette and speaks about a life being senseless. But time will pass, and you'll have to pay. And your family will, too.
