For the last couple months now, I've been working on starting my consulting firm. I have a client and I'm getting ready to quit my job to pursue consulting fulltime! (Yeah!) One of the most important aspects of a consulting business is finding (and retaining) clients. And the best ways to do that is through direct solicitation and word-of-mouth referrals.
Both marketing methods are pretty big on being able to pass your contact information around. I've yet to design any sort of business card yet (mainly because I've been too busy to really even think about any of that) so I've just put it off. However, here recently, I've missed way too many opportunities to pass my business card out simply because I don't have one!
Well, no more! Ladies and gentleman, allow me to present the business card of Zentek Group!
If you know anyone who needs any sort of IT consulting, well, there's my contact information! Pass it along!
Colophon. It's very loosely based off my attorney's business card from Rosen Harwood. The only fonts used were from the Futura® family — specifically Regular, Oblique, and Heavy. The primary color is #6a7e27 and, since it doesn't have a name, I'm dubbing it "Green Tea Zen." The paper will be a recycled linen. A special thank you to my friend Darwin Witt on assisting with color and hue selection! The Twitter bird is a trademark of Twitter, Inc.. The Facebook "f" is a trademark of Facebook, Inc..

Update! The business cards have come in and here what they look like in print! A little smaller than I expected, but I still love them.
Want business cards like mine? I used MOO and so should you! Use my referral link for 10% off your first order.


The ability to change the content behind your Microsoft Tag means you never have to worry about a Tag becoming outdated or obsolete once you've created it. By changing the Tag's content, you can extend the life of a marketing campaign and provide regularly updated content to your customers.
Tag is different from QR codes because each Tag connects with servers, giving you ability to redirect the Tag however you like. QR codes don't provide as much flexibility because the information is embedded in the actual code and cann't be changed.
So how do you change your content behind a Tag?
Once you've completed these steps you'll be taken to content page for that specific Tag and you're able to edit the fields you wish to change for the Tag.

The Fugees "Blunted On Reality" Press Kit
Defying all classifications, the Fugees (Pras, Clef, and Lauryn) are bringing a totally fresh perspective to hip-hop: one that's as intellectual as it is musical. Blunted On Reality, the Fugees' furious debut album, will undoubtedly get the group where they want to go, despite where they've come from. Chronicling the experiences of Pras and Clef - young Haitians in an America that set them as "refugees" - the Fugees use the 12 tracks of their album to give their side of the story in terms both specific and universal. Blunted On Reality is the story of anyone who's ever sought refuge. "We're all refugees," Pras points out. "We all seek refuge in our minds," philosophizes Clef. "We all want to escape somewhere, we're all really immigrants because we're trying to get somewhere and never end up there." These three drug-free MCs have discovered that music and life itself has the power to intoxicate and therein lies the meaning of the title, Blunted On Reality. Their self-produced LP vigorously combines elements of reggae, rock, funk, and a complex East Coast production ethic giving the Fugees sound the kind of depth that pushes East Coast rap into a whole other dimension. The Fugees cop to a surprising range of musical influences, citing Bob Marley, Phil Collins, Guns & Roses, the Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Thelonius Monk, Pink Floyd, and Elton John among the strains of sound that somehow seep into their complex musical mix. - via Press Kit.

TRADE NEWS: Agilent Technologies Congratulates Team at CERN for Measuring What Many Thought Immeasurable
SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYS: A) offers its congratulations to the team at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, more commonly known as CERN, for discovering—at 99.9999 percent confidence—what is almost certainly the long-sought Higgs boson, an elementary particle that had been predicted to exist for theoretical reasons. Agilent is proud to have provided technology that played a part in this landmark discovery.
Creating particle collisions at nanometer scale with picoseconds of duration requires extreme precision in spatial and temporal control. At facilities such as CERN, high-performance Agilent Acqiris digitizers are helping researchers achieve the precision and control needed to perform more and better experiments in less time.
With subatomic particles traveling near the speed of light, digitizers must provide fast measurement throughput, very short "dead time" between measurements and excellent measurement fidelity. This is one of the key reasons CERN is using Agilent digitizers in the control and diagnostics sections of the Large Hadron Collider and the accelerators it feeds.
"In laboratories around the world, Agilent instrumentation has become an integral part of advanced experimental systems," said Guy Séné, president of Agilent's Electronic Measurement Group. "We provide the extreme speed and precision needed for system monitoring and control, and for capturing data from the interactions and events in the experiments themselves."
More than 100 Agilent digitizer modules are currently installed at CERN. These provide sample rates that range from 500 MSa/s to 8 GSa/s with resolution of 8 or 10 bits on one, two or four channels. The digitizers are used to perform wideband beam monitoring and to monitor forward and reverse RF signals in the accelerator cavities. In a literal sense, the beam-monitoring measurements are made possible by Agilent digitizers that provide sufficient speed and bandwidth to capture the signals of interest.
An overview of the Agilent Acqiris solution is available in a new application brief entitled "Monitoring and Controlling Particle Collisions at Nanometer Scale and with Picosecond Duration." The brief is available for download from www.agilent.com/find/CERN_digitizers.
About Agilent Technologies
Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYS: A) is the world's premier measurement company and a technology leader in chemical analysis, life sciences, diagnostics, electronics and communications.

Kompass Data and EasyBusiness tool can be used by more than just sales professionals. One other use is for research especially by students at Universities studying business, international relations or global trade. Xiaohan Huo, the new member of the Kompass team, talked to us about how Kompass Data and EasyBusiness tool can help University libraries provide students with real life experience.
"I was part of the Ohio Export Internship program at the Ohio State University, where I was immersed in the year-long program learning about global trade and international business. Through various projects and my internship with a local ebook company, I realized this is what I want to do in the future.
During the spring of 2018, I competed in the NASBITE student case competition with three of my peers and we won the 3rd place. It is also where I met Kompass North America and my current manager Rufiya Blank." said Xiaohan Huo, current Business Development Associate at Kompass.
The first thing I noticed about Kompass is that Kompass is part of the CGBP training materials. And it turns out that it's one of a very few private resources included in the official CGBP training standard, according to Jim Foley, the director of Illinoise SBDC Trade Center and the one of the board members of NASBITE International. As someone who is interested in pursuing a career in global trade and to be CGBP certified, the experience working at Kompass and getting to learn how the system works is extremely valuable to me.
What distinguishes Kompass from other business databases is that Kompass EasyBusiness tool is more than a system where you can just download all your leads into an excel sheet. Instead, it's a research tool that would allow business to use Kompass system to better what they are already doing. Kompass Easybusiness can be easily integrated into CRM, and you can create lists or projects within the system to help you keep track of the work you do. Additionally, you can set up alerts in companies of interests so you can be notified where changes in moves, executives or financial information are made. Kompass EasyBusiness strives to be a useful tool to its customers to help them find leads and make the progress more efficiently.
Kompass EasyBusiness tool can assist university students and faculties to do real-world market research and data analysis. It gives students actual experience of how international business work in real life and how companies start off exporting or importing. As a previous student who was interested in global trade, I think having Kompass as a tool would be extremely beneficial especially during projects and internships. When I was working with local companies, looking to create an exporting plan, one of the biggest struggles we encountered is to find accurate data in order to create our metrics. With the help of Kompass EasyBusiness, this would not be a problem as Kompass has over 70 filters where you can play around with and see real data within a few seconds. At the same time, you can also generate various graphs based on your research. This is beneficial for students to understand the market from a broader perspective.
Overall, University libraries should consider working with Kompass North America, as it gives students direct tools to understand the industry better. Especially for universities that have a prestigious business school or having a strong focus in international business or global trade, Kompass EasyBusiness tool will not disappoint. Reach out to us for more information on how to work with Kompass and about our data. Contact us!

Passenger Helicopter Plunges Into Hudson River
Jessica Puckett
A passenger helicopter, which ferries flyers from Manhattan to New York City's airports and to the Hamptons for the company BLADE, plunged into the Hudson River on Wednesday afternoon.
The New York Fire Department confirmed that there were no passengers on board, only the pilot, who survived the incident. The helicopter is owned and operated by Zip Aviation. It operates flights for BLADE.
Unconfirmed video of the incident on social media shows the helicopter struggling to stay in the air, circling as it drops closer and closer to the water's surface and eventually plunging into the river.
The Federal Aviation Administration also confirmed that the Bell 206 helicopter went down at 2:06 p.m. ET on Wednesday near 12th Avenue and West 34th Street, The New York Post reports.
A BLADE spokesperson told TPG that the incident was a "safe emergency landing."
"Earlier today, a helicopter made a safe emergency landing on floats in the Hudson River near the heliport," the spokesperson said in an email. "There were no passengers on board. The pilot was not injured and immediately exited the aircraft. The helicopter was being repositioned to the West Side Heliport for fueling by the operator, Zip Aviation, and was not servicing a Blade mission."
"Because there were no injuries, the incident is being treated as an emergency landing and NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board) will not be investigating," the BLADE statement continued. "All Blade services are operating normally."
Update: The National Transportation Safety Board has now stated that there will be an investigation into the accident since the helicopter was, "significantly damaged."
The FDNY said the pilot was "on land," but conflicted BLADE, saying the pilot sustained non-life-threatening injuries. A bystander onshore also had minor injuries from flying debris, according to a tweet from the fire department.
*This post has been updated with BLADE's statement to TPG.

Man on a mission Andrew O'Sullivan believes the word "recycle" to be a bad one. He poetically delves into his lifetime effort and campaigns against "the throw-away" lifestyle that we've become. We create waste, break it down, and re-sell it, but Andrew shows us that re-use is much more powerful and sustainable in the long run.
Like many superheroes, Jenn Graham didn't choose to become a crusader for urban good — she was catapulted into it, quite literally. After breaking her arm when her bicycle tire got stuck in a drain grate, she began campaigning to make small changes to her home city of Atlanta. What started with grate replacements across became open-street activities hosting nearly 100 thousand citizens; a force that leads us to question how cities ought to be designed.
"Shouldn't we all pay more attention to the space around us?"
In Empowering Street Artists, Activating Citizens from PechaKucha Urban Innovation Month Lisbon, Mario Rueda presents the importance of street artists within our local communities.
Many think of vandalism and graffiti when they hear the words "street art", but people like Mario see the city in a very different light. Public spaces are taken over by advertisements and corporations, but the artists, performers, and musicians who share their creativity and seek to delight fellow citizens are treated like criminals.
Book a Street Artist is a platform which seeks to empower artists and give back the city to citizens.
Co-founder at Daily Tous Les Jours Mouna Andraos shows us several of her interactive design studio's delightful projects; all of which involve creating spaces for people to come together, play, and collaborate. From giant, 100-person sing-along installations, to swings that play notes as you swing back and forth, these projects transform the way citizens interact with their cities and one another.
"Presentation of the Day" on June 12, 2014.
Cindi Drennan's projects covered in the following presentation look to do two things: bring life to the city -- to retailers, etc. -- at night, and broaden the audience of art installations (in this case, projected lighting installations). She accomplishes both, as you'll see through the "New Light Industrial" and "Night Mural" installations, not only bringing an audience to parts of the city they wouldn't normally visit -- especially to take in art -- but also giving artists a new audience, with their works out of the gallery and onto the street.
Universtity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign students Jay Mulakala, Ricardo Pierre-Louis, and Albert Callahan were bothered by an issue common to many college campuses -- where to store one's bike when the term comes to an end? The three of them developed an enterprising solution to this issue with Snohassle: a simple yet innovative bike storage service.
Tom Tresser highlights the activist work in the city of Chicago of the TIF Illumination Project, and how this movement has helped raise awareness to the apparent misuse of public funds. As Tom explains, TIFs (Tax Increment Financing) are cutting into the expected spending of a city's budget, reducing the amounts that should be spent on things like public education.
John Stonier makes a case for the usefulness and practicality of the VeloCar, a compact electric-assisted vehicle that mixes the benefits of bicycles and electric cars. Presenting his VeloMetro network to help promote its use in the city of Vancouver, he proposes that not only is it the perfect city in which to develop such a network, but that it can also act as a model for others to follow.
Which urban elements make people happy? Daniele Quercia poses this question, and offers a solution using applications he and his research team have developed to determine what citizens love about their city.
As Pamela Rogalski makes quite clear, scaling the implementation of social impact in construction projects in urban environments is new. People want to "do the right thing", but all industry professionals have encountered constraints that prevent us from doing what we know we ought to do (and we've all ranted about it over a beer at the end of the day). For engineers, however, the difference is that what we implement at scale has the potential to impact an entire community. To make the shift from intention to reality, whole engineering leaders are building momentum through vertical industry partnerships and triple bottom line business cases.

daine: "Heavy music has always been a counter-culture"
In a time where genre means nothing and attitude means everything, daine's universe simply refuses to be labelled.
Words: Martyn Young.
The rise of Australian/Filipino 18-year-old prodigy Daine from unknown bedroom experimental creative to rising alternative icon has been swift and striking. Taking the time afforded to her by the global shutdown of the pandemic, Daine has spent the last 18 months cultivating her own unique and idiosyncratic world full of evocative imagery, darkness and light and the wide-eyed optimism of a musical vision of infinite possibilities smashing through genre boundaries.
It's impossible to sonically categorise Daine's music as she experiments with all manner of progressive sounds, but there is an adventurous spirit that courses through everything she does is influenced by her childhood loves of midwestern emo, hardcore and a punk and DIY aesthetic that encouraged her to follow her own bewitching alt-pop path. And all of this without ever really leaving her bedroom. Musicians in 2021 are good at improving, and Daine has already packed a lot into a short period of time as she has risen to become one of the most exciting new artists on the planet.
"It's been a really interesting journey," she begins from the creative hub of her bedroom in Sydney. "I've had to learn a lot as a person. I feel like I was thrust into being a musician before I knew how to perform." Like many emerging new artists, the enforced lack of live performance has given them a different perspective on their music and style. "It's been really fun. In that way, the music is a lot more genuine because I was just a kid writing songs, and I was able to develop all these songs over the past few years, and it was just a really worthwhile process."
Daine is an artist who has strong convictions and knows exactly who they are. Committed and focused, Daine is passionate about advocating for what she believes in and the music that she loves. It's something that she puts down to her formative years in Australia's heavy music scene. She cites her vegan lifestyle as an example of her commitment to going against the mainstream. "I'm pretty into veganism," she explains. "I love cooking and a plant-based lifestyle. That's pretty common in the heavy scene. Heavy music has always been a counter-culture, so if the mainstream is patriarchy and sexism, hardcore will be avidly feminist. If the mainstream is capitalism, then the hardcore scene will be super communist. I think that's the same with veganism; that's just another extension of social justice."
"People don't believe me, but I'm actually a really happy person!"
daine
The sense of shared community and collective ideals fostered within those heavy scenes plays a key role in Daine's development as a person and as an artist. Collaboration is important. She may have been physically isolated but has spent the last 18 months building important relationships with a diverse group of artists and creatives that have shaped her music and her approach to her art. Music is just one part of the creative process. For Daine, it's all part of one fevered sensory release. "My music and creative vision feel a little more cohesive than just music," she explains. "It feels more like a movie. I'm very particular with my visuals, and I have a strong aesthetic vision. I want my music and my fanbase to have this fantasy world where they can escape to. I want to create visually immersive content, and hopefully, the music goes with that. I want to create an immersive experience."
There's a dark pop majesty to the visuals that accompany Daine's music, from the futuristic gauzy sci-fi desert hinterland of her debut track 'Picking Flowers' to the gothic synth-pop of 'Bloody Knees', with its dystopian neon cityscapes. But it's the playful horrorcore electronic nightmare of her last single 'boys wanna txt' which brings Daine herself into the light of clear focus for the first time, as she gazes passively straight into the camera before the screen gets warped and mangled in a glitchy fever mirroring the tone of the track. There's the constant push and pull of sadness and isolation in her music, cleverly tempered with just the right hint to light to make her music truly disorienting and compelling.
The fascination with darker sounds goes back to her earliest musical loves. "I grew up going to a lot of hardcore shows," she says. "The Melbourne scene was really inspiring for me. I listened to a lot of the classic Midwest emo bands growing up, like Tigers Jaw and American Football, and that kind of made me a bit of a moody person," she laughs. "Maybe I was already a moody person, I don't know. I was quite melancholy. That translates in my sound. People don't believe me, but I'm actually a really happy person! I just like to sing sad songs because they pack more of an emotional punch. I try to sprinkle some hopeful lyrics in there."
She laughs as she ponders her propensity to mention blood a lot in her songs as an example of creeping darkness."It's kind of grim, but it's such a visually stark concept. In my song 'Bloody Knees' where I say 'Look down and see dark red in the snow', the only time you're ever thinking of red-stained snow is blood." Her songs are filled with otherworldly imagery and ghostly apparitions. "I like spiritual motifs like angels, angel numbers, synchronicity and dreams. Leaving your body. I find concepts like that to be really visually engaging."
Summer 2021 marks an interesting pivot point in Daine's musical career. Her earliest music was firmly rooted in that emo aesthetic, lo-fi and primarily composed on guitar. Gradually, she incorporated more of an experimental electronic edge to her music. She collaborated with different producers, including PC Music founder and all-around electronic pioneer Danny L Harle on the stunning dark pop electro ballad 'Angel Numbers'. This embracing of futuristic electronic sounds culminated in her last single, 'boys wanna txt', a full-blown hyperpop banger featuring key artist in the scene ericdoa, and produced by hyperpop figurehead, and one-half of 100 gecs, Dylan Brady. It's a striking pivot point in Daine's career so far.
Rather than seeing herself as a hyperpop artist despite featuring in all the attendant playlists and the song having the playful, inventive hallmarks of the genre at its best, Daine sees the track as more of a loving tribute and experiment to recognise a community that embraced her and shares some of her musical values. Rather than box herself in as a hyperpop artist, she instead sees it as a creative impulse that can influence her own music and different tastes in a positive way. "I'm not annoyed by it because I'm really connected to the hyperpop community," she explains. "That scene has been so supportive and welcoming to me. I love all the artists, like ericdoa, Ethel Cain and 8485. I'm not super angry at people comparing me to a sound that isn't really me. I think it's something that will easily pass me by. 'boys wanna txt' is the most recent, so people think that that's my defining sound, but I'm going to have songs that I'm going to release later that will surpass that, and then I'll be defined by that sound. It's ever-evolving." As she explains, it's just as much the passion of the people involved that drew her to the sound as much as the sonics. "I've always been drawn to a community whether it's like the hardcore scene growing up or the emo-rap SoundCloud scene as I got older, and now hyperpop is that group of people for me."
"The hyperpop community has been so supportive and welcoming"
The music Daine is working on now incorporates some of that anything-goes spirit of the invention of hyperpop but aligns it firmly to a heavier, more alternative approach. "A lot of my upcoming songs I had written two years ago before the whole hyperpop thing, so they're all pretty emo and pretty post-punk," she reveals. A perfect example of her musical switch up is her next single 'Salt', a collaboration with Bring Me The Horizon frontman Oli Sykes. A speaker-blowing, cavernous scream of pure emotion and controlled sonic chaos, it hits harder than anything she's ever done before. "I think 'Salt' is a good segway into my future sound," she proclaims. For a song so powerful, it's endearing to hear Daine idly talk about how it all came together with the ease of meeting up with a pal for a casual walk in a park. It's only a collaboration with someone from one of the biggest rock bands on the planet. No big deal. "He messaged me on Instagram and was like, 'Do you wanna do a song?', and I was like, sure and sent him 'Salt' because I knew it was the best song that he could possibly hear," she laughs. "It was pretty quick. He sent his verse overnight, and it was perfect, and he sang along with me in the chorus, and I couldn't have asked for him to do better. The lyrics were so cohesive with what I'd written. I was so impressed." Despite the low key nature of how it came together, Daine knows that this is a moment. This is a big one. "I think everyone is going to be mindblown. I mean, I was mindblown, and it's my fucking song. It's going to be pretty insane. Lonelyspeck's production. Holy Shit. They are the best producers in Australia, if not the world at the moment."
Bring Me have always been a touchstone for Daine. "It was the catharsis and intensity of the music that drew me to them," she says. "I channelled that into making 'Salt'. Lonelyspeck is really inspired by Bring Me The Horizon as well. It really puts a lot of intensity into the track." It's not just the newcomer learning from the established star, though, as Oli obviously saw something special in Daine and wanted to tap into some of her creativity. "I think Oli wanted to learn about the new hyperpop sound," says Daine, recognising how Bring Me have led the way in incorporating experimental sounds into their music.
The music she loved in her youth still holds a lot of importance for Daine and will shape her music going forward. "I loved Bring Me The Horizon, Trophy Eyes, and I've got a collaboration with John Floreani coming up," she says excitedly. "It's been great to see that my idols can hear that I'm doing something that's in the same vein and that they can connect with. It's mindblowing for me. It's a goal of mine to do a song with Jamie from Title Fight and Mike from American Football. Hopefully, I can reach their eyes sometime soon."
'Salt' promises to act as a jumping-off point to Daine to further expand the heavy aspect of her music in her own diverse way. "It leads me back into my original creative identity," she explains. "It's sort of like wiping the slate clean so that people don't have any predictions about me going forward. I want to break people's idea of what they think my music is going to be because I feel like everybody is going to be expecting more glitchy hyperpop electronic music. I think it's going to allow me to go back to my guitar sound and hopefully engage with some older fans. It's like the matured version of my earlier tracks." She promises some more new music on the way soon as she looks to build on 'Salt' and go deeper into the heavy depths of her sound. As ever, there will be no compromises or dilution for mainstream tastes. "My process is quite simple, and I don't see that process changing," she states. "I haven't ever intentionally tried to make anything sound DIY, but that's how it has organically evolved for me. It's going to remain pretty authentic."
A lot of the freedom to make as many stylistic turns and take her music in any direction she pleases comes from her immersion in online creative culture. She used to post her songs on various SoundCloud rap sites and different online platforms, and it's a freedom which she revels in, and she wants to recognise the diverse audience it gives her. "It's pretty liberating. It allows me to connect with different communities, and everybody has something for them," she says. "It's kind of daunting, but it's really cool knowing that one day I could wake up knowing that Beyonce has followed me on Instagram," she laughs. "Anything can happen to anyone in the age of social media. There are no boundaries between everyday people and celebrities. Everyday people can become celebrities. It's kind of terrifying that the internet can be so volatile and unpredictable, but it probably only serves an artist's benefit, particularly at the beginning of their career."
Sometimes it's easy to forget that an artist as confident and fully formed as Daine is right at the start of their career. Earlier this summer, Daine expressed online some of her fears about the pressure of existing as a new artist with the constant expectation to always be on and present and performing and creating 24/7. "Artists just write all the time, and they constantly churn out music," she says. "Personally, I've found that approach to be really exhausting and not genuine to me. I've always found writing when I'm inspired when something happens in my life, and I feel something and then going to my guitar or going into Ableton and making something is the best approach because something rare, spontaneous and organic evolves when you are writing from the heart. It's hustle culture that's informed by capitalism. Everyone brags about having no days off and working so hard, and that has affected the creative community because people think, oh, I've got to make something every single day. Is it genuine if you go at it every day? There has to be a really healthy balance."
"Everyone is going to be mindblown. I mean, I was mindblown, and it's my fucking song"
Someone who knows all about the pressures of being a new artist is Charli XCX, and she has spent time acting as a mentor and sounding board for Daine while repping her at every opportunity as the best new artist around. It's a relationship that Daine is hugely grateful for. "Charli helps me balance my 'I don't wanna write right now' attitude," she laughs. "She's always moving and always doing something to it really inspires me because I think in ten years when I'm her age, I want to have that fanbase. It helps to have her wisdom and her takes on things because she was doing the same stuff as me when she was 18. It's good having her as a mentor. She's a genius."
One thing Daine hasn't experienced yet is the thrill of performing live to actual real people on the flesh. She has big plans, though. "I'm so excited. It's something that I've been dreaming about since I was a kid," she beams. "I can't wait to see what my listeners look like and share the music in real life. I'm really going to go ham into performing. I've been rehearsing and bought some cool stage props. I want it to be very atmospheric and magical."
While the world was on pause for the last 18 months though, Daine has established her own performing festival online, which acts as a safe space for like-minded and progressive artists to perform and express themselves. Community is everything for Daine, and this was her way of giving back and representing a diverse and fluid community that may otherwise have been marginalised. Notable performers she has engaged have been future pop icons Charli and Hannah Diamond, as well as new wave hyperpop experimentalists like Brevin Kim, Harvest and 8485. She calls it Nocturne. "A lot of people in the hyperpop community or the SoundCloud community or the new wave of DIY electronica, a lot of these artists are queer or neurodivergent or have had rough upbringings and being able to make music and express yourself is something that connects everybody."
Within this community are people who will shape and define alternative pop culture for years to come. They represent a new way of working and a new attitude. Respectful to the icons who have gone before them but not content to rehash the past, they want to shape a new future, and Daine is right at the heart of it. "Everyone is super talented and super creative and pushing boundaries for what we expect in music," she says passionately. "In recent years, people have been bored because there's been no innovation or no room for innovation in music," she continues. "Hyperpop is the response to that boredom. Why not make everything crazy, and in that way, it has been inspiring."
For Daine, there's no better time for her to be making music than in 2021. "It's boring to do the same thing over and over again that's been done a million times before. A lot of people can have more complex sonic identities now. There are no rules. You can have a trap beat with a guitar. You couldn't have done that 20 years ago. I think the fact we can now is awesome, and we have all these incredible mini genres that you can't even describe."
Daine's music at its best certainly does defy description. It's a hyper-modern blend of old and new, traditional and far-out, experimental and super accessible alt-pop. What connects everything though, is her punk values and punk spirit. As Daine's music morphs and evolves and becomes harder, heavier, bigger and stronger, Daincore becomes ever more a state of mind and a way of life.
Daine's single 'Salt (Feat. Oli Sykes)' is out in August.

Captain Mike Leach vs. The Contract
The AP's Kristie Rieken writes that everyone but him is still working on the infamous contract:
"They're still working on it," he said. "Just trying to make it competitive within the conference."
I'll let Reiken take it from here:
All indications are that Leach wants to remain in Lubbock, but when asked if there was a question of if he'll sign the extension, the quirky and outspoken coach answered: "There is right now. We're just waiting for them to get it all worked out."
Ever noticed that it's always about "they" and "them" working on the contract? It's never about "me" or "I"? I'm incredibly bothered by all of this, but I think I'd just be rehashing what's already been said so much better by you guys.
Declaring for the Draft
ESPN's Mark Schlabach writes that Texas Tech is one of the losers from the NFL draft declarations:
Not only will Red Raiders coach Mike Leach have to replace record-setting quarterback Graham Harrell next season, but his team will also be without Crabtree, a redshirt sophomore, who entered the NFL draft.
Crabtree was arguably the greatest receiver in Texas Tech history, finishing his career with 231 receptions for 3,127 yards with 41 touchdowns in 26 games.
The Red Raiders also lost junior defensive end Brandon Williams, who led the Big 12 with 13 sacks last season. While Crabtree was expected to turn pro, Williams' decision reportedly caught Texas Tech's coaches off guard.
Darcel McBath and Louis Vasquez
DT's Adam Coleman has a piece on seniors Darcel McBath and Louis Vasquez playing in this Saturday's East-West Shrine Game and Vasquez is making an impact, at least according to Chad Reuter from NFLDraftScout.com, via Sportsline:
OG Louis Vasquez, Texas Tech: When you talk about line play in coach Mike Leach's Texas Tech offense, people think of wide splits and pass protection. But Vasquez is not a finesse player by any stretch of the imagination. He proved to scouts that he can fire off the ball from a three-point stance (which he didn't do much in Tech's pass- and draw-happy offense) and dominate tackles in the power running game.
Final Rankings
ESPN's Big 12 blogger Tim Griffin writes that the Harrell-to-Crabtree connection was the season's best moment, also included is kicker Matt Williams' incredible story, and the Red Raiders check in at #3 of the final Big 12 Rankings.
Texas vs. Texas Tech; 01-17-09 @ 3:00 p.m.; United Spirit Arena
DT's Alex Ybarra looks at tomorrow's game against Texas and remembers Texas Tech's improbable win against Texas last year. Sophomore guard John Roberson sounds ready to play:
"We're coming off a loss too, so I mean we're gonna be hunting them just as much as they're hunting us," said Roberson, who averages 14.4 points and 6.1 assists per game. "So we just gotta come out and just stick to our game plan and execute, so we should be good."
And Ybarra and freshman center Robert Lewandowski note that the Red Raiders hope to have back Trevor Cook and Damir Suljagic:
Freshman center Robert Lewandowski said finding a way to win the rebounding battle may be a little easier for Tech with the return of forwards Trevor Cook and Damir Suljagic.
"Obviously, we're continuing to work on defense," he said. "The Baylor game was a big step up on defense. We did it really well for most of the game, there was a few let downs in rebounding and stuff like that. I had a few slip ups. That's something we work on every day, defense and rebounding."

Top Gear live is aiming to be bigger and better this year as its creating an extra indoor race track at both event venues, the Birmingham NEC and the London Excel.
The new tracks will feature corners from the famous top gear test track, including Gambon and Hammerhead. The tracks will feature several new corners which Top Gear viewers will have the chance to name in an online competition on the shows facebook page starting from next week.
The tracks will play host to a selection of famous drivers like Tiff Needell, Sabine Schmitz and Le Mans winner Derek Bell. There will be other celebrity top gear fans there to with the likes of Jay Kay among others expected to turn up on the day.
Top Gears famous helmet wearing race driver, the Stig will also be in attendance to show everyone how its done, and we doubt he'll have any problems considering the new tracks will incorporate corners from his home track at Top Gear HQ.
The show will obviously feature a lot of expensive metal, including, the McLaren MP4-12C, Lamborghini Aventador, and the Ferrari 599 GTO. There will be many past and present F1 and rally cars on show as well.
The shows are taking place in Birmingham between the 11th-13th November, and London between the 24th-27th November.

Born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA, Shanice Lorraine Wilson starred in a KFC commercial with Ella Fitzgerald at 9. Later, she was discovered by A&M Records at the age of eleven, and released her debut album, Discovery, in 1987, which wasn't a huge pop hit, but did score R&B chart action, and the singer a 1987 Soul Train Award nomination for Best New Artist. She signed a record deal at Motown Records in 1991. Her 1991 album Inner Child contained the popular hit single "I Love Your Smile". Also included on the album is a cover of Minnie Riperton's 1974 hit "Loving You".
This and other songs like "Fly Away" helped showcase her rare coloratura soprano talent.
After "I Love Your Smile", Shanice continued to record albums, including 1999's Shanice, produced chiefly by Babyface. While she has not achieved significant commercial success with her later albums, she is acknowledged as a talented singer and many of her songs appeared on various soundtracks. She also sings backup and does studio sessions and can be heard on Toni Braxton's song "Unbreak My Heart". She can also be heard making vocal contributions to various games. She is married to actor/comedian Flex Alexander, with whom she has two children.
Not a stranger to taking long gaps between albums and singles, "Every Woman Dreams" finally emerged in June of 2005. The single is currently doing moderately well, and Shanice is now signed to IME Records (which is distributed through Universal/Motown). After several pushbacks, her fifth studio album (titled Every Woman Dreams) will be released on February 21, 2006. The video for "Every Woman Dreams" was released in December 2005 and is in current rotation on music networks like BET, MTV and Vh1.

El Monestir de Sant Maties de Barcelona és un monestir de monges de l'Orde de Sant Jeroni, amb activitat ininterrompuda des de la seva fundació en 1426.

Aquells anys, la noble barcelonina Brígida Terré i tres amigues van començar a viure en comunitat en un beateri, com a laiques però seguint una regla monàstica de vida. A la mort de Brígida, el 19 de juny de 1475, Caterina Ferré obté del papa Sixt IV el breu per convertir la comunitat en monestir, integrant-se al naixent Orde de Sant Jeroni i prenent el nom de Santa Margarida, que passà en 1484 a l'actual de Sant Maties.

El primer monestir de les Jerònimes, com era conegut, era a la Plaça del Pedró de Barcelona, al lloc que ocupa l'actual Església del Carme. Hi fou fins al 1909 que fou destruït durant la Setmana Tràgica. D'aquí passà a Sarrià, al carrer d'Iradier i, des del 1984, a Bellesguard (carrer de Mercè Rodoreda, 7, Sant Gervasi) on les jerònimes resideixen actualment.

La comunitat gestiona el Casal Bellesguard, espai per a retirs i estades breus, amb sales, oratori i biblioteca especialitzada, ofert a qualsevol laic o religiós que ho demani.

Peter William Ham ( – ) est un chanteur, guitariste et compositeur gallois, connu comme membre du groupe Badfinger.
Il s'est suicidé le .

Biographie

Au milieu des années 1960, Pete Ham fonde le groupe The Iveys avec Ron Griffiths. Ils seront rejoints par Mike Gibbins puis Tom Evans. Dès 1966, les gallois déménagent pour Londres avec l'appui de leur manager Bill Collins. Si les contacts avec Ray Davies des Kinks n'aboutissent pas, c'est Mal Evans, assistant des Beatles qui les présente aux Fab Four et leurs obtient un contrat avec Apple. Malgré le succès d'estime de Maybe Tomorrow, le succès viendra avec une composition de Paul McCartney "Come and Get It". À la sortie de l'album "The Magic Christian", dont il est extrait, Ron Griffith est remplacé par Joey Molland et le groupe rebaptisé en Badfinger.

Les années suivantes, Badfinger rencontre un succès grandissant au Royaume-Uni et en Europe mais le déclin du label Apple, comme des choix managériaux et financier de leur manager Stan Polley, contribuent à la fin du groupe et au suicide de Pete Ham qui se donne la mort le  dans sa maison du Surrey.

Tourism Mount Washington continues to reach its goals of becoming a recognized and respected destination marketing organization promoting Mount Washington as an all-season Alpine Resort.
The Association elected a new Board in November, and Nicholson said she's excited to be working with them.
Tourism Mount Washington has launched a new social media campaign, which was to kick into gear at the start of the ski season. An improved online booking system was also expected for the new year, she said.
Naomi Cooper has been hired as a Marketing and Membership Assistant to run the check-in desk at the General Store for the winter season. She will also be responsible for the Association's social media and membership communications.
Another success for the Association in 2010 was the implementation of the hotel room tax, which is going back into marketing and promotion of the Resort. "It has been very well received and has generated additional income," Nicholson said.
Nicholson spent a successful week at the London Ski Show in the fall, securing a stronger relationship with the Snow Leopard of the Ghana Ski Team (see sidebar) and stimulating interest in the Resort from the likes of Canadian Affairs, which will feature Mount Washington in 2012 as a ski destination. As well, Frontier Ski from the UK, which specializes in holidays for independent travelers, continues to promote the Resort.

This thesis is composed of two topics both concerning diverse and obligatory trypanosomatid parasites. First part deals with identification of new Trypanosoma species identified in blood meal of tsetse flies caught in Dzanga-Sangha Protected Areas, Central African Republic, and identification of feeding preferences of tsetse flies. The second part concerns extraordinary monoxenous trypanosomatid Paratrypanosoma confusum which constitutes the most basal branch between free-living Bodo saltans and parasitic trypanosomatids. This thesis helped to elucidate morphology and biology of this deep branching trypanosomatid. Using genome and transcriptome sequencing and comparative bioinformatics approaches enabled search for ancestral genes shared with free-living bodonids and confirmed genome streamlining in trypanosomatids.
The goal of this thesis was to design and implement a graphical tool for visualization and editing of schedules which would provide a function for automatic repairing of violated constraints in the schedule. The resulting application called a Gantt Viewer is integrated to the FlowOpt project that represents a complex solution for modeling workflows, creation of schedules from them and analysis of these schedules. The application has been developed with the focus on intuitiveness of the user interface and performance during the management of large schedules. It enables the user to visualize extended manufacturing schedules thanks to the cooperation with other modules of the FlowOpt project. Moreover, the Gantt Viewer incorporates a repair tool exploiting a new Repair-DTP algorithm which is both introduced and demonstrated in this work.
This work deals with problems of interactive rescheduling in Gantt charts. The goal of the work is to design and implement an algorithm which resolves the inconsistencies in a schedule. First existing approaches are studied. Algorithm for solving our inconsistencies in a schedule is the most important contribution of this work. It is introduced there and there is also it's proof of correctness and finiteness. Demonstration of applicability of the algorithm follows. For this reason, program GanttViewer which is a part of this work is used. Finally, this program is described in detail.
MUDr. SKALICKÝ, Tomáš Five year period of experimental and clinical experience with radiofrequency ablation of liver tumors is described. RFA considerably extends the survival of patients with non-resectable liver metastases. The method has minimal complications and both mortality and morbidity are low.
The goal of this thesis is to design a user interface and to implement an application that is used for test execution in test management tool TestLink. This application is designed to streamline and simplify the process of test execution in this tool. The theoretical part of the thesis describes features and the interface of TestLink and compares it with other similar tools. The practical part is focused on analysis, user interface design, and implementation of the application. The outcome of this thesis is in addition to the application itself also a library written in PHP, which is used for communication with the application programming interface of TestLink and which simplifies the creation of similar applications.

Lorenzo Franceschinis, born in Friuli in the northeast of Italy, returned to his homeland in 2010 after spending several years abroad working to pursue his lifelong love of woodworking.
A believer in genuine craftsmanship, Franceschinis has focused on developing his skills ever since. Today his natural attitude towards innovation has advanced beyond traditional woodworking, where the soul of wood is often sacrificed in the name of serial production.
The Franceschinis approach to woodturning is driven by a curiosity for an established technique. Self-taught and meticulous, Franceschinis has studied the behaviour of wood in a quest to identify its raw state and so highlight its defects and bring out its intrinsic beauty.
What emerges out of this designer's hands is not simply the result of his talent and relationship with the medium, but also the phenomena that have marked the living tree throughout history. According to Franceschinis, "Count the growth rings on a piece of wood. That will tell you how long it has taken to produce it. Single out a line and wonder what happened. Wood never lies, it's an impartial witness of time."
Franceschinis shows total respect for nature and sources material only from trees that have been felled for reasons other than his work.
After years of endeavour, Franceschinis persists in recreating elemental shapes in his unique pieces, seeking an opening through the very soul of the wood.
As he says, "What inspires my work is life in its simplest and most archaic form. During college I specialised in marine biology; the ocean is where life originated over 3 billion years ago and radial symmetry still dominates at a microscopical level. Possibly it is because our origin is bound to these simple shapes that we inherently find them attractive.
The lathe is my tool of choice and wood the material. Muscular memory and a trained eye are my designing tools. I believe in making people aware of the beauty that surrounds them. It is one of the most valuable forms of education in a globalised economy that defines the value of anything by price tags.
I opt for recycling; the wood is salvaged from fallen trees, opening new challenges to experiment with any species that I can find, with each displaying features that shine above all others.
I don't like to impose myself. I'm not working on a blank plain; any excess of mine stretches the distance between myself and the medium. I rather look for a dialogue with wood's uniqueness. It is a process in constant evolution and reading trees is like browsing through the secrets of time. It is the curiosity to know more, about the wood, and about myself that drives me further."

1200 KFTL Workers Take Strike Action
By Nationwide NewsnetDec 07, 2018, 22:45 pmComments Off on 1200 KFTL Workers Take Strike Action
Some 12,00 workers at the Kingston Freeport Terminal have taken industrial action.
General Secretary of the Trade Union Congress, Barry Dawes says the workers have taken strike action to protest management's failure to adhere to a number of items that were agreed on.
Mr. Dawes says during a meeting yesterday with the company, the Union found out changes had been made to the Heads of Agreement.
[audio_mp3 url="http://nationwideradiojm.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Barry-Dawes-walked-out-Dec-7-2018.mp3″]
Mr. Dawes says the company and the Union during negotiations had agreed to the ranking of jobs and compensating workers based on market rate.

Pot-Growers Busted in 17 Locations
Discussion in 'Marijuana News' started by Superjoint, Jun 24, 2001.
Police arrest 22 in operation
Source: Toronto Star
Seventeen indoor marijuana-growing operations in residential neighbourhoods were busted in early morning raids yesterday in Kitchener, Waterloo, Guelph and the Toronto area.
In the raids, police collected elaborate equipment involved in sophisticated indoor pot-growing operations such as floor fans, umbrella-shaped reflectors and high-wattage light bulbs. Ten of the raids took place in K-W, one in Guelph and the rest in Toronto.
Police are not saying how much marijuana was seized and will not estimate the value of the pot taken from the 17 homes.
However, Staff Sgt. Dan Anderson, media relations officer for the Waterloo regional police, said some of the "grows'' were bigger than expected.
"This will be a very substantial amount of product seized today,'' said Anderson, who said police began the raids at 7 a.m.
The 22 people arrested yesterday are part of the "upper level and in control of this particular organization,'' police said.
Five of them were women.
"It's an organized group of people who happen to be of Asian descent,'' Anderson said.
"You would not go to one of these houses and buy three joints,'' he said.
Since January, local police have raided 30 homes in Waterloo Region with similar pot operations. Of the 40 people charged, many are of Vietnamese origin.
Almost 6,000 marijuana plants, valued at nearly $5 million, have been seized, police said.
Also found was equipment, valued at $302,700, a car worth $5,000, $76,000 in jewelry and $79,433 in cash.
A news conference will be held Monday at police headquarters to detail what police describe as a six-month sting operation dubbed Project Greenhouse. Names and charges are expected to be released at that time.
More than 70 police officers from local police, the RCMP, the OPP, Hamilton, Guelph and Peel forces were involved in the undercover work.
Those arrested are expected to spend the weekend in jail and appear in court early next week.
Police spent most of the day yesterday going through the houses collecting drug-related equipment.
By mid-afternoon, police had collected a tractor-trailer full of equipment from a home on Dumfries Avenue in Kitchener.
The commotion had curious neighbours wondering what was going on.
On Lewis Crescent, in the Chicopee area of Kitchener, Phyllis Sampey was startled from her sleep at 7:10 a.m.
She looked out to see police armed with machine-guns raiding the house next door.
"It was unbelievable,'' said Sampey. "I heard glass breaking and I looked out the window to see the SWAT team with loaded guns on my front lawn. It was scary.''
Like other residents interviewed by The Record yesterday, Sampey said she had little contact with the neighbours, who had recently moved into the area.
They didn't speak English well and kept to themselves, she said.
There were families with children, in some of the houses, while others were empty with people visiting only occasionally, Anderson said.
In a few of the homes, there were only two or three rooms where people lived and the remainder was used to grow pot, he said.
Anderson said many of the homes looked like greenhouses.
The large amounts of electricity needed for the marijuana plants is often disguised by bypassing hydro meters.
"They use grow lights and do the cultivation in the house,'' he said.
Anderson said many of the growers locate in middle-class residential neighbourhoods and "try to make it so that the neighbours are unaware of what's going on.''
At 78 Lewis Cres., furniture was scarce, with only a kitchen table and two chairs and a couch in the living room.
The glass storm door was shattered and a wooden side door was broken.
Putting a Price on Pot:
What do values of seized drugs really mean?
Police use a combination of experience and educated guesswork to estimate the street value of seized marijuana.
Critics complain the inexact science allows police to exaggerate high-profile busts to make themselves look better and increase the chances of stiff penalties when cases get to court.
"You just look at (the dollar estimates) and laugh,'' said Sean Doiron, manager of Shakedown Street, a store that sells marijuana-related paraphernalia in downtown Kitchener. "They always blow them way out of proportion.''
But Staff Sgt. Dan Anderson of Waterloo regional police said investigators are sensitive to such criticism and intentionally use conservative estimates.
In the case of marijuana, he said, this is how they arrive at their figures:
* Plants seized from homegrown operations are broken into two categories: mature and immature.
* Officers can accurately determine the yield of smokable marijuana from mature plants.
* For immature plants, they estimate the potential yield at 2.5 ounces per plant.
* The actual yield from mature plants and the potential yield from immature plants are then added together to determine the total potential weight of smokable marijuana.
* That number is then multiplied by a street-level price of $10 per gram (enough to make three to seven joints or marijuana cigarettes) to arrive at a total dollar figure.
Anderson said police lowball their estimates every step of the way. Mature plants, for instance, can yield seven to eight ounces of smokable marijuana, so the 2.5-ounce estimate is quite low.
Similarly, $10 per gram is likely a bargain in most street circles.
"We don't want to be in a position to have to defend ourselves for inflating anything,'' said Anderson. "We don't want to be accused of making it look more serious than it is.''
Doiron agreed the going rate for marijuana in the Kitchener area is actually about $15 a gram.
But he said estimating the value of huge quantities of seized pot by breaking it into such tiny amounts is inherently misleading.
"It's correct to a point, but nobody would do it that way,'' said Doiron. "It's just to make it seem like a bigger bust.''
Like any wholesale product, he said, marijuana has to go through several middlemen who each take a cut of the profit before it ever gets sold in $10 quantities.
"They want to keep it prohibited, so they take a worst-case scenario,'' said Doiron. "It's a propaganda thing.''
Anderson, however, said police break large seizures into small amounts because that's how it would eventually get into the hands of most drug users.

The TDG intro to the article about lying was disheartening. Is it supposed to be a joke? Does the moderator really think that?
I worked as a Scientist for US Federal Agencies for 11 years, and had 3 seperate immediate supervisors during that period. All three felt they could lie about the work I completed for them, so that they could steer my professional life according to their whim.
As time has passed and I have grown wiser, I see VERY CLEARLY that it is the weak and stupid who lie, cheat, and steal. The prisons aren't filled with brilliant, disciplined, geniuses. They are filled with those who tried to take the easy way out and were caught.
But what I realized recently is that ultimately I don't lie, cheat, and steal from my brothers because I know I have a soul. And that every deed I am responsible for is recorded in my soul. How STUPID do you have to be to not even know that you have soul, and that all good and evil deeds are rewarded/punished many times over?
I realize now how stupid those past supervisors were. They traded their souls for nothing. And an individual's life comes and goes in the blink of any eye, no matter how long it sometimes appears to be.
1)Yes, it was a sarcastic remark.
2)As with most of my jokes, there's also a tinge of truth. If you think about it, one of man's greatest talents is the ability to try to discern the intentions of other people —by reading their facial expressions for example. This has obviously been enhanced out of necessity since there are many among us who try to deceive us all the time; so, in a way, one could argue that our species became the most intelligent in the planet because of our predilection for deception. Our intelligence had the evolutionary pressure of lies.
PS: And although I really don't want to sound like Gordon Gecko defending greed in the movie 'Wall Street', it just came to me that Lying is also behind one of mankind's noblest endeavors: Art.
Constantly the artist is trying to use illusions & tricks in their craft —e.g. Perspective drawing— in order to deceive the senses of the spectator. So maybe deception in itself is not negative; it's in the intended use of the deception that we might start to judge and make distinctions.
My experience with "Homo Sapiens" is that many spend their whole lives justifying their theft of other's property: physical, emotional, spiritual.
All the while spreading misery and trying to deny the responsibility for their actions.
Hey, that's cool if you want to somehow justify "lying". I just wish I could sail away to a place and leave all the liar's behind. Of course, I am not a saint. I work hard to live a life of "rigorous honesty". But it would be worth the effort!
One more note: though I don't share your point of view on this lying topic, I DO appreciate TDG and your service (and the others who support the TDG) to your loyal readership!!!!
But if you ever manage to find a way to that island, buy a ticket for me too, will you?
PS: Thanks for the kind comment.


Segment 1: Summer is here and Biatch brought over her son Milo to throw into Fish's kiddie salt water pool while they banged out a new #Podcast. Summer scams to look out for (yard work, roofs, etc.) was the first thing they broke down for you followed by an internet scam you should look out for that happened to Fish. A new fashion trend that may have gone way way too far (Might as well be naked).
Segment 2: Biatch is a die hard Star Wars fan and knows all the details and has a real take on what happened with Carrie Fisher ( #PrincessLeia ), really made Fish think differently about what happened. Another interesting conversation came up when Biatch shared a really good idea for what makes a woman a #Whore (if she is right Fish's wife is for sure). Update on OJ Simpson and what it's like for him in prison. Finally, what are they doing to Ken now … too much?
Segment 3: Oh the pretty people. Is there really a point when someone is in a relationship that no one is as attractive as their significant other. Alaska. Is Alaska the same as Wisconsin … as far as people are concerned. There is a story out of Alaska that is just like mixture between Wisconsin and South Park.

Key Kurdish-held border crossing falls to Iranian control, cuts US army land supply line to Syria
Oct 29, 2017 @ 23:03 Nov 7, 2017 @ 22:29 Diane Shalem 19837 Views Iran, Iraqi army, Iraqi-Syrian border crossing, IRGC, Kurds, US army
The Iraqi army and Shiite Hashd Shaabi Brigades militias under Iranian Revolutionary Guards command seized the strategically important northern Iraqi-Syrian border crossing of Faysh Khabur on Saturday, Oct. 28, forcing the Kurdish Peshmerga into another retreat after this month's fall of oil-rich Kirkuk.
The joint Iraqi-Iranian operation was conducted surreptitiously, masked as an Iraqi military operation "to liberate al Qaim from ISIS" – with which Iraqi Prime Minister Haydar al-Abadi laid a red herring.
This operation, choreographed by Guards General Qassem Soleimani, wrapped up his scheme to round off Iran's control of the northern sector of that border, in order to achieve four strategic objectives:
To cut off the overland corridor between Iraqi Kurdistan and the three Syrian enclaves ruled by the YPG militia. The Syrian militia is now barred from coming to the aid of its Iraqi brothers, the peshmerga.
2. To shut the only open door remaining to Kurdish residents wishing to travel outside Iraqi Kurdistan. The Iraqi government has cut all its air links by seizing the international airports of Irbil and Suliemeniyeh and threatening to shoot down any planes using them. The siege of semiautonomous Iraqi Kurdistan is therefore complete.
Faysh Khabur was also the only land crossing the American army had the use of used for moving supplies to US forces stationed in northern Syria. The US army is now left only with air transit.
Iran's overland bridge to Syria via Iraq is now complete unimpeded by either the US or Israel.
Many people in the Middle East are asking again where were the US Trump administration and its pledges not to let Iran build a land bridge through Iraq to Syria. And where were Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman and their tough rhetoric vowing not to allow Iran to deepen its military grip on Syria? While they made speeches and tweeted, Tehran with swift cunning ran off with high-value strategic and military assets.

US and Israel hit the zero ground on their noise so hard. This is so obvious that US and Israel no more capable of dealing with Iran. Winner is Iran, loosers are US and Israel.

The more territory the Iranians and their proxies occupy the harder will be for them to cope with an insurgency should one arise. The Islamic State has dispersed but can reappear, almost all sunni groups don't like the shias and now they attacked the kurds also. IS seems very smart, just think how many russian intelligence officers they've killed and think that IS put a lot more effort in fighting shia iraqis than the syrian kurds for example.
I would say to Israelis save yourselves , you are victims of these monsters !!
Time for US and Israel to admit their defeat and move out of Syria/Iraq.
GREATER ISRAEL GENOCIDE…….GREATER ISRAEL ATTACK ON NEW YORK ON 911…..when are Americans going to wake the fcuk up ??

Bafel Talabani who is the oldest son of the Celal Talabani has to obey Iran otherwise Iran will publish Bafel's dirty records. As trusted KRG official says; Iranian intelligence service was recording while Bafel Talabani was sexually abusing a 10 years old boy. Bafel's Mom, Hero Ibrahim also witnessed the unfortunate event. The boy managed to escaped from Bafel Talabani after Hero Ibrahim's shock following madness… However, Mom Hero Ibrahim chose to hide this secret until set-back of Peshmerga.
Kurds must drop the Americans and go full alliance with the Russians. Its their only chance. U.S. will always stab Kurds in the back. Some of the Americans are allied with the Iranians.

The overland Iranian overland bridge, from looking at the map, already existed, south of Faysh Khabur, passing through Sinjar. US troops in N. Syria now cut off from overland access to Kurdish enclave.
Trump administration is currently up to it's neck in significant domestic issues at this time. It was a well chosen time for the Iranian Solemeini to go for big gains.
Democrat and NEVER TRUMP republicans have sabotaged American interests and freedom for the Kurds, by stagung their false flag Russiagate scandal.

YHVH is setting His hooks, bringing Russia, Turkey and Iran into alignment for the fulfillment of His word. He will make His name great among the heathen. He will reveal Himself in all His glory!
And say, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords: Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel: And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand. Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured. Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God. And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the Lord. So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy One in Israel.
He will reveal Himself in all His glory!

And I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to wage war; and the city shall be captured, and the houses shall be plundered, and the women shall be ravished, and half the city shall go forth into exile-and the rest of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

Russia and Iran are planning to take over the entire Middle East, First Syria and they have carefully planned Insurections in each Area, Conquer and divide then step in and take over.
Russia is working on aligning Turkey and several other countries through Arms sales and loans.
Putin which learned his trade in the KGB knows what ever you do very slowly, no one will notice, until it is too late. During the IRAQ war they lost billions in oil leases that were owed by Iraq. Iran wants to establish the Shi Empire over all of the middle East and get rid of Israel. Trump's entire administration is either asleep at the wheel or complicit. When Trump and Putin met at WTO, he went outside Protocol and spoke to Putin for more than 30 minutes without a Witness of what was said is entirely against all Presidential security protocol's either to witness what was or what was not discussed. In the fact he did this speaks clearly to the fact he had something to hide. Either Putin has dirt on Trump, or something.

The King and Creator of the world, HKB"H, is watching and guarding Israel. And He metes out measure for measure to anyone who goes against Him and the Land.
A diplomatic plan being formulated by the United States to renew the peace process between Israel and the PA, according to Yisrael Hayom. According the London-based Arabic-language Al-Arabi Al-Jadid, American diplomats in Cairo, who wished to remain anonymous, have confirmed the reports.
Under the temporary plan, said to be acceptable to Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia, there would first be reconciliation between Fatah and Hamas that will allow the PA to hold power in Gaza. Israel and the PA would discuss the gradual establishment of full PA control of Areas A and B in Judea and Samaria. In accordance with the progress of the political process and the negotiations between the sides, a summit would be held in Cairo, with the participation of Egypt, Jordan, the United States, Israel and the PA, in which the parties would discuss ways to facilitate the continuation of the diplomatic process and expand the authority of the independent state to Gaza.
In the last stage of the plan, discussions would begin on a predefined timetable regarding core issues, such as the status of eastern Jerusalem, the annexation of large blocs of Jewish communities beyond the 1949 Armistice Line, the complete freeze of construction in isolated communities and the uprooting of communities that are not part of the blocs based on land swaps and a solution to the refugee issue.

Saddam was the enemy of Kurds and committed genocide against them. The Kurds didn't assist or liked Saddam, however, most of the current political Iraqi Shia leaders with their families fled Iraq through Kurdistan, or they opted to stay and live in Kurdistan. Animosity and resentment against Kurds are the daily chores of the aforementioned Shia leaders. If they have the means, they will be worse than Saddam's regime. From now on, the Kurds of Iraq should not trust anyone anymore.
When and if the SHTF remember there are several million Kurds in Turkey and the Turkish PKK gave the Turkish Military their fair share of heartbreak and that was with just small guerrilla units. This went on for 20 plus years… until the Turkish Government and the PKK called for a cease fire, several years after APO was Captured. The PKK will gladly pickup arms and keep the Turks out of any fight except with them. They know the land and they know the Turks. Then you have the Iranian Kurds, millions… and they are KURDS and they will put a hurting on Iran, Iraq and Turkey if the SHTF. Kurds and are a POWERFUL force in SWA if those governments want to turn a blind eye towards them or discount them… they are POWERFUL, far more than people really know… they are the PRIDE of Saladin and Descendants of Alexander they are the peoples who have lived in those areas for thousands of years… THEY are not the, Oriental Turks, Middle-Eastern Arabs or Africans… they are KURDS.


Badhaai Ho Movie Review: A brilliantly made Light-Hearted Comedy; 'Badhaai Ho' to the Cast!
After creating much buzz with a hilarious trailer, director Amit Sharma's Badhaai Ho starring Ayushmann Khuranna, Sanya Malhotra, Neena Gupta, SurekhaSikri and Gajraj Rao has finally hit the cinemas nationwide today and as expected, the film will surely keep up to the expectations of the audience to much extent due to its lovely screenplay and dialogues.
As Badhaai Ho releases today, Ayushmann Khurana continues to mark his presence felt in yet another unconventional film that keeps you entertained with a strong message to sidestep another stereotype of matured age pregnancy which is actually considered as a societal embarrassment in India.
"Badhaai Ho" pure cinema based on slice of life which showcases as how do the society reacts a mother of two grown up kids unexpectedly finds her pregnant in a matured age when they are believed to be retired from everything. However, this is not just about the society but how the family members feel socially embarrassed when they come to know about this situation and later how they tackle the this social embarrassment.
The story of Badhaai ho revolves around a middle-aged man Jeetender Kaushik (played Gajraj Rao), who is professionally a TTE in Indian railways, who gets shocked when comTraileres to know about the pregnancy of his wife Priyamvada (played Neena Gupta). With the fear of facing the judgmental society, he ask Priyamvada to get an abortion to which she denies considering abortion is a sin. After they decide to have this baby, the family members come to know about the pregnancy which initially creates a havoc among them.
Nakul (played Ayushmannn Khuranna), who is the elder son of Jeetender and Priyamvada feels so embarrassed that he starts ignoring everyone including his colleague and girlfriend Renee (played Sanya Malhotra).
Director Amit Sharma has wisely used the brilliant cast of the film to create a simple, straightforward yet effective film which has some awesome light hearted comic sequences throughout the film to keep you entertained. Surekha Sikri who plays Ayushmannn's grandmother in the film is absolutely hilarious to watch. Shanatanu Srivastava, Akshat Ghildial and Jyoti Kapoor's script keep you engaged even after the plot loses its pace at times.
Ayushmann Khurrana and Sanya Malhotra looks adorable together and Ayushmann's natural acting makes us feel more realistic about the plot. Gajraj Rao and Neena Gupta are an absolute delight to watch with their perfectly timed expressions and dialogues. The best part of the film is, none of the actors have put extra effort to act funnier which makes it more watchable and realistic.
In a nutshell, Badhaai ho is a smartly made movie by director Amit Sharma and the casting of the film truly justifies their roles which makes the film worth watching. All we can say is "Badhaai Ho" to Amit Sharma for delivering a really good movie to us. So, just go and watch the film especially for the powerful performances of Neena Gupta and Gajraj Rao.
