No BET Award For Nasty, But He Won Many Hearts
Oct 07, 2019, 03:40 PM
We seldom see musicians showing each other some support, especially when they have made it big and are recognized in the international music scene.
But fans were super proud of Nasty C who gave BET Hip Hop award winner for best international flow, Sarkodie a shout out - even rapper Emtee gave him props. Even though the rapper was also nominated in the same category as the Ghanaian rapper, he proved to be no sore loser and evidently won the hearts of many Africans.
While many fans were pretty impressed with the Zulu man With Some Power for taking some time to congratulate his opponent (following his successful and highly praised Ivyson Tour) many expressed their disappointment about the results, but the God Flow rapper was not here for the negativity.
Some were even pushing it by asking for a collab between the two stars, but Nasty is still enjoying his praises for hosting his successful Ivyson Tour and he has cemented his name (even though many claim he has done that a long time ago) as one of the best in the game.
Nasty C still has another international nod at the MTV European Music Awards - this might just be just the chance he needs at winning an international award this year. The rapper is nominated in the Best African Act category alongside the very talented Prince Kaybee and other African acts such as Teni, Toofan, Burna Boy and Harmonize.

Goodwin, Thomas
Goodwin, William Watson→

16787361911 Encyclopædia Britannica, Volume 12 — Goodwin, Thomas
GOODWIN, THOMAS (1600–1680), English Nonconformist divine, was born at Rollesby, Norfolk, on the 5th of October 1600, and was educated at Christ's College, Cambridge, where in 1616 he graduated B.A. In 1619 he removed to Catharine Hall, where in 1620 he was elected fellow. In 1625 he was licensed a preacher of the university; and three years afterwards he became lecturer of Trinity Church, to the vicarage of which he was presented by the king in 1632. Worried by his bishop, who was a zealous adherent of Laud, he resigned all his preferments and left the university in 1634. He lived for some time in London, where in 1638 he married the daughter of an alderman ; but in the following year he withdrew to Holland, and for some time was pastor of a small congregation of English merchants and refugees at Arnheim. Returning to London soon after Laud's impeachment by the Long Parliament, he ministered for some years to the Independent congregation meeting at Paved Alley Church, Lime Street, in the parish of St Dunstan's-in-the-East, and rapidly rose to considerable eminence as a preacher; in 1643 he was chosen a member of the Westminster Assembly, and at once identified himself with the Congregational party, generally referred to in contemporary documents as "the dissenting brethren." He frequently preached by appointment before the Commons, and in January 1650 his talents and learning were rewarded by the House with the presidentship of Magdalen College, Oxford, a post which he held until the Restoration. He rose into high favour with the protector, and was one of his intimate advisers, attending him on his death-bed. He was also a commissioner for the inventory of the Westminster Assembly, 1650, and for the approbation of preachers, 1653, and together with John Owen (q.v.) drew up an amended Westminster Confession in 1658. From 1660 until his death on the 23rd of February 1680 he lived in London, and devoted himself exclusively to theological study and to the pastoral charge of the Fetter Lane Independent Church.
The works published by Goodwin during his lifetime consist, chiefly of sermons printed by order of the House of Commons; but he was also associated with Philip Nye and others in the preparation of the Apologeticall Narration (1643). His collected writings, which include expositions of the Epistle to the Ephesians and of the Apocalypse, were published in five folio volumes between 1681 and 1704, and were reprinted in twelve 8vo volumes (Edin., 1861–1866). Characterized by abundant yet one-sided reading, remarkable at once for the depth and for the narrowness of their observation and spiritual experience, often admirably thorough in their workmanship, yet in style intolerably prolix — they fairly exemplify both the merits and the defects of the special school of religious thought to which they belong. Calamy's estimate of Goodwin's qualities may be quoted as both friendly and just. "He was a considerable scholar and an eminent divine, and had a very happy faculty in descanting upon Scripture so as to bring forth surprising remarks, which yet generally tended to illustration." A memoir, derived from his own papers, by his son (Thomas Goodwin, "the younger," 1650?–1716?, Independent minister at London and Pinner, and author of the History of the Reign of Henry V.) is prefixed to the fifth volume of his collected works; as a "patriarch and Atlas of Independency" he is also noticed by Anthony Wood in the Athenae Oxonienses. An amusing sketch, from Addison's point of view, of the austere and somewhat fanatical president of Magdalen is preserved in No. 494 of the Spectator.

Has anyone had an LBL session? Experiences?
Discussion in 'Reincarnation Questions' started by Laughables, Oct 2, 2013.
Hi all. I am scheduled for a Life-Between-Lives session this Saturday(!), and I am curious as to whether or not anyone else here has either had one, or would like to share their experiences.
I have read most of Newton's works (I devoured Journey of Souls) and I had a regression session back in March. The therapist I've found in my area has worked directly with Michael Newton, and the regression was a very positive experience, so I feel that the LBL will be worth it. But I would be curious to know how other people have responded. I look forward to hearing of your experiences!
I have read Newton's books also. Let us know how it goes. Have you shared your regression experience with the forum before?
While some of my regressions have revealed aspects of the LBL, I have yet to have one of the Newton-style specific lbl's though I am looking forward to the opportunity.
I would suggest looking up the threads of two of our members, Horsedoc and Khandisi who have shared their experiences with their LBL regressions here on the forum. They both reported wonderful experiences from their sessions.
I wish you well with your upcoming regression and please, if you feel comfortable doing so, share your experience with us...I think I speak for many who would love to have an LBL themselves, but time, children, finances, spouses and countless other life issues seem to be the primary obstacles necessary to overcome! A vicarious experience is always better than none!
Hi laughables, i know this an old post and i dont know if you still use this forum. However if you do, and dont mind me asking how was the LBL ?
I just read Horsedoc's and Khandisi's accounts of their past life regressions. Thanks briski for bringing up this older thread. Both described LBLs too.


In the age of globalization, it is more compelling and efficient than ever for corporate or Government agency to learn from the proven experiences of their counterparts or peers in other countries or regions.
Against this background, ELT is designed for professionals in both public and private sectors all around the world to most efficiently acquire in-depth understanding and first-hand experiences in the respective fields, as well as networking value.
All ELT programs are informative, interactive and experiential. Detailed content and learning formats can be customized to meet your specific needs.

Joyce learned the art of storytelling from her mother, Rosalee Larson, who told stories to her as a child. Recently Rosalee Larson has been recording those stories she used to tell on a computer that Joyce's brother, Curt, and his wife, Peg, set up for Rosalee.
Some years ago my mom mentioned to my wife Peg, and myself, that that she could no longer see well enough to use her typewriter. (That must have been before she had her cataracts removed … now she can see any speck of dirt anywhere, even in poor light!) I think we might have asked whether she could see well enough to keep in touch with relatives and old friends in handwriting. She said that everyone is now so old, and her handwriting so poor, that she didn't think people could read it very well. And besides, she had always used a typewriter. That was how she liked to keep in touch. She doesn't use the telephone. The written word, for her purpose, has a quality to communicate in a way perhaps more lasting or thoughtful than the telephone. Peg and I could tell she was quite disappointed.
Peg immediately said, "How about a computer? You can make the font as big as you need … and as big as the other person needs!"
Mom was predictable. "Oh, gosh," she replied. "That's for you young folks. I don't want a computer."
Finally Peg and I pointed out that it was either a computer … or nothing. And most importantly Peg pointed out that she could make the computer work just like a typewriter. That was of course an exaggeration … but it worked! We got her an old Boeing surplus computer that booted up in DOS. We taught her to type in "win" at the "C prompt" and, with time, Mom progressed further and faster than we ever thought she would. She writes letters to old friends and uses the Internet and e-mail. She even plays computer games! I especially appreciate the stories from her life that she wrote … stories that she had told before … but which, when written, have an added quality that I like.


Thanks for getting in touch! I'll be sure to get back to you as soon as I can!

Linden Comansa hydroelectric power plant work
Full screen in popup
The CCC Ituango Consortium, which comprises Brazilian conglomerate Carmago Correa and Colombian construction firms Constructora Conconcreto and Coninsa Ramon H, are using three tower cranes from Spanish manufacturer Linden Comansa to help build the Ituango hydroelectric power plant in Colombia. Once completed the power plant will be the largest in the Colombia and it is currently the largest infrastructure project under way in the country.
At the time of writing in early January there were three Linden Comansa tower cranes installed on site. Two of them, a 21LC450 and a 16LC185, were being used to build a spillway. Both cranes were set up to reach a height of 60 metres and were assembled on a folding cross base with a travelling system. This means they can be moved on tracks installed on the ground, enabling them to cover more of the construction site faster than being dismantled and reassembled each time they are moved. The 21LC450 has a capacity of 20 tonnes and a height under hook of 54.6 metres, while the 16LC185 can handle a load of up to 8 tonnes and has a height under hook of 59.5 metres.
The third tower crane on site is an 11LC160, which lifts 8 tonnes. It was initially used to help build a tunnel, which will provide road access to the spillway. The 11LC160 was then moved to help build two intake tunnels, which will take water from the reservoir to the turbines. At both locations, the 11LC160 was set up with a 40 m under hook height. Like the other two cranes, it was installed on a folding base with travelling system enabling it to be moved quickly and lift different loads over a larger area than a stationary crane would be able to.
According to Linden Comansa, the modular structure of its cranes, comprising light and easy to handle parts, made transport to and assembly at the site relatively easy given the remote nature of the power plant, which is located in mountainous terrain. The cranes were sold to the CCC Ituango Consortium by Gigacon – Linden Comansa's official distributor in Colombia. Gigacon also carried out the initially assembly of the cranes at the construction site.

Q: How to draw a semi-oval shape using shape drawable in xml (Android)
I am struck at this problem of creating the UI in android. I need a xml-based solution to this problem. I don't want to use any SVG or PNG image to achieve the solution. Is there any way to achieve this of view in android.

A: You should be using a <layer-list> element of xml to draw such a UI.
Following code will be used to create oval shape:
<shape android:shape="oval"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<solid android:color="#AAAAAA"></solid>
<size android:height="100dp"
    android:width="60dp">
</size>

This leads to the following shape:

Once you know how to draw an oval shape using xml. Now next step for you is to learn how to use <layer-list> to achieve desired output. To learn using <layer-list> you can follow this tutorial.

A: By creating a new drawable file which will describe the look of the widget you want to draw,more or less.You can then set it as background for which widget you want to change the original look of. I would recommend starting with rectangle if you want to achieve the shape shown in your question. the drawable file will look something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shape="rectangle">

    <solid
        android:color="#000"/>

    <corners android:radius="150dp"/> <!-- The value here should specify How much ovally you want shape be -->
</shape>

and then assigning the background of the widget to this drawable should do the trick, something like this:
 <LinearLayout
    android:background="@drawable/oval">

Hope this was helpful :D

Comitis compares Benni to Zidane
Cape Town City boss John Comitis expressed his delight at securing the services of Benni McCarthy as the club's new head coach, likening him to Real Madrid mentor Zinedine Zidane.
The Bafana Bafana legend was unveiled as the new Citizens coach on Tuesday morning, following the departure of Eric Tinkler to SuperSport United. Comitis is adamant that the all-time Bafana top-scorer is the right man for the job.
"The prodigal son is back. I can't stop smiling," he told reporters.
"With every obstacle in life, there's always something around the corner for you. I always believe in that, and I couldn't have scripted this better than the way it's turned out.
"I didn't take very long to decide who would be at the helm, and who could take us through to continue this legacy we've started.
"Cape Town City Football Club is extremely ambitious; it represents the entire city, across all borders, and I couldn't have found a better fit than getting Benni McCarthy himself to take us to the next stage, and the next level," he added.
Having played a part in unearthing McCarthy at Seven Stars as a teenager over two decades ago, Comitis was nostalgic when talking about Benni's appointment, in addition to backing the former Orlando Pirates man in his first stint as a coach.
"McCarthy's history is well-documented; his first-ever game in the PSL was for Cape Town Spurs, where I was the chairman.
"I remember him as a 17-year-old, who left very quickly to race the pitches of Europe over a period of a decade.
"For him to be back here today is very significant for us as a club because I think what he saw was something real, something that can change the lives of Capetonians and set a legacy for the years to come.
"Benni ticks all the boxes, and is the right man for this job.
"Real Madrid took a leap of faith with Zidane, and that gave me more reason to believe I've made the absolutely perfect decision for this club," he concluded.

Super Bowl Odds and Prop Bets
Updated odds to win NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year
This could be a photo finish between several promising AFC rookies.
By Jason Marcum@marcum89 Nov 10, 2020, 2:35pm EST
Share All sharing options for: Updated odds to win NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year
While we're only halfway through the 2020 NFL season, it's becoming clear that rookie quarterbacks Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert have bright futures ahead of them.
Burrow, the No. 1 overall pick by way of the Cincinnati Bengals, has thrown for 2,272 yards while accounting for 14 total touchdowns and registering a QBR of 79+ in three straight games.
Herbert, the No. 6 overall pick to the Los Angeles Chargers, has accounted for 2,146 passing yards and 19 total touchdowns. He's also registered a QBR of 75+ in five of his first seven professional games.
The way these two are playing, they'd be NFL MVP candidates if they played for winning teams. Unfortunately, their teams have combined to win just three times in games they started this season, so they'll have to settle for a shot at NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year.
The latest odds from BetOnline have Burrow and Herbert tied for the best odds to win the award (11-10 odds). The next closest player is Tua Tagovailoa, the No. 5 overall pick to the Miami Dolphins (5-1). However, Tagovailoa has started just two games thus far, so he'll need to thoroughly outplay Burrow and Herbert for the rest of the season to win the award.
The one thing Tua does have going for him is he plays for a Dolphins team that's currently 5-3 and strongly in the mix for a playoff spot.
In fact, Miami will host the Chargers this week, as well as the Bengals in Week 13. If Tua wants to become a stronger contender for this award, winning those matchups with Herbert and Burrow could certainly shake up these odds.
Offensive Rookie Of The Year Odds
Joe Burrow 11/10
Justin Herbert 11/10
Tua Tagovailoa 5/1
Justin Jefferson 25/1
Chase Claypool 33/1
Clyde Edwards-Helaire 33/1
James Robinson 33/1
CeeDee Lamb 40/1
Antonio Gibson 50/1
Jonathan Taylor 50/1


Ransomware continues to be a popular tactic for cyber attacks and seems to be even growing in popularity with hackers because it is both a highly successful form of attack and can be very lucrative. If you've fallen victim to a ransomware attack in the last year, chances are they asked for payment in cryptocurrency. That's right, it might be useful to grab some Bitcoins just in case.
Ransomware is typically a "smash and grab" style attack. Unlike traditional malware that can live in the network for months or even years in a latent state, ransomware is much more focused and will function almost immediately following a breach. This makes it more important to be proactively preventative rather than reactive. Preemptive defenses look at stopping the malicious payload delivery before it can land on its endpoint.
Assuming patching, backing up data and training is done, then from a security controls perspective, I would start by eliminating malicious payloads that are sent via email (phishing attacks) and web browsing (drive-by attacks) as these delivery methods typically represent 90 percent to 95 percent of all successful breaches. There are some excellent technologies that will neutralize any traces of "active code" delivered through email and web and set up properly, they can be transparent to the users and extremely effective, even against zero-day attacks.
This is where usability and security clash a bit. Single-sign-on (SSO) architectures certainly allow for transparent access to network file servers, but they also provide a distinct path for ransomware attacks. Implemented from a pure security perspective you would want an architecture that eliminates the concept of "the domain" (an exploitable trust relationship), and also remove all SSO access to critical infrastructure, replacing it with explicit multi-factor login everywhere. Of course, this is not how an enterprise works as it is inconvenient for users.
CD: Great question. My guess is that advanced adversaries will transition from human beings to AI platforms. I think that AI will make a big splash in the weaponization and delivery of these types of attacks. An AI attacker would not only be capable of rapidly crafting millions of highly effective zero-day attacks with its ability to iteratively learn how it is being stopped, but it will also be able to learn about its target environment, completely blending into the "noise" of the network, becoming almost invisible in terms of presence and behavior. Cyber defenses will have a real challenge ahead of them…perhaps one that can only be countered with more AI.
CD: One final thought is it is important to understand that there is no such thing as perfect cybersecurity solution. Advanced persistent threat actors have the means and the patience to figure out how to bypass even the best security controls. It is highly likely that your organization will be breached (if it hasn't happened already). Ensuring your people are well trained, and your processes are in place are necessary steps to ensuring you have a solid security posture is a best-laid plan.


Some say that the measure of our lives can be seen in our friends. We have all sorts of friends, best ones, long distance ones and even ones that we call acquaintances. They help us through the bad times and dance along in the good times with us. There are friends who are the family that we choose and we would lay down our lives for. These are the bindings on our hearts that we would never want to get rid of. On Make a Friend Day, we can take the time to perhaps add another to this list of buddies!
Friendship is as old as mankind. We have any chances through the year to show those we care for how much they mean to us. There are countless times through the year that we can surround ourselves with all our friends and enjoy their company. Make a Friend Day encourages us to move beyond those set groups and meet new people. Make a connection with someone new who can bring new experiences and fun into your life! On Make a Friend Day you need to reach out and take a chance on your fellow man. I know that the thought of moving out of your comfort zone and trying to make a connection with someone new. The fear of rejection is alive and well in most of us. To battle that fear, look around and see all the great people in your life and have faith that moving forward more great people will be attracted into your environment!
Ready to get started? There are a few different ways that you can look at Make a Friend Day. Do you want to find this year's new friend in person or on social media? Personally, I would suggest in person but the choice is up to you! Let's look at that option first. New friends can be found all about you. Spend some extra time in your favorite coffee shop. You might just find more than one new friend catching up on some reading or work while sipping on the specialties of the shop. You have that in common, walk on up and dive in! Don't be shy, you will never know success unless you try!
More comfortable with the digital side of things, you can take part in the fun as well! How many different social media apps are you using right now? I bet that most, if not all of them, will show you options of people that you can reach out to. They may be friends of your friends or people who live in your area. This will give you a starting point in your conversation. Write a quick note of introduction and send it off! Do this is a handful of users and I am sure that by the end of the day you will have success! This is the best way to celebrate Make a Friend Day!


The inflation rate in France between 2009 and today has been 11.44%, which translates into a total increase of €11.44. This means that 100 euro in 2009 are equivalent to 111.44 euro in 2019. In other words, the purchasing power of €100 in 2009 equals €111.44 today. The average annual inflation rate has been 0.99%.

The case for active portfolio management in 2021: Key points to remember
After a year of twists and turns, 2020 is ending in the same funny old way it started.
In early November, in the space of barely a few days, two major events – Joe Biden's victory in the US presidential campaign and the discovery of anti-Covid vaccines (with, going by the clinical trials, a very high efficacy rate) – are bringing new perspectives to our world and our economy.
Markets were quick to hail these two announcements. Of course, although the vaccines herald a form of normalisation within a given time horizon, the pandemic will leave deep scars, some already visible, others bound to spring up in the long run.
1. We expect that the roll-out of vaccines, combined with political support, will accelerate growth beyond the automatic catch-up following the recovery from the "Great Lockdown".
Although the pandemic resulted in deaths and job losses in 2020, the launch of a vaccine in 2021 should reverse the trend and bring us closer to to normality. The rapid recovery in the third quarter in the Western world and the continued expansion in Asia, where a second wave of infection has largely been averted, will serve as a benchmark for the near future. As a first step, solid economic data should support recovery from the "Great Lockdown".
We are confident that fiscal and monetary policy adjustments will survive the threat of the virus and sustain the recovery. In Europe, the European Central Bank's (ECB) multi-year multi-billion emergency pandemic procurement programme and the commitments made for recovery are further decisive steps towards solidarity. In the United States, the US Treasury's policy should be fully aligned with that of the Federal Reserve. These interrelated fiscal and monetary policy measures should support the transition from an automatic rebound to a full-fledged recovery and expansion of growth and profits over several years.
2. New challenges to be met without delay.
Will this recovery last? New uncertainties will have to be quickly dispelled: political (end of the Merkel era in Germany next September, the upcoming presidential elections in France in spring 2022, mid-term elections in the United States in November 2022 etc.) and monetary, as further adjustments will appear increasingly unlikely following the economic recovery. A premature tightening of monetary policy, thus unfavourable to equities, cannot be ruled out, with China and Germany appearing the most likely to take such measures.
3. Investors should start the year by taking advantage of the recovery with a stronger focus on small and mid-caps and on sectors undervalued by the market, such as banks.
Clearly, the economic recovery should encourage the rotation of investors into so-called "value" stocks (i.e. high quality but undervalued by the market) already observed in the final months of 2020. The unprecedented $7 trillion increase in the balance sheets of the US, European, UK and Canadian central banks in 2020 has convinced investors to adopt equity rotation through economically-sensitive small- and mid-caps, and hard-hit value sectors such as banks.
The expected recovery in economic growth usually leads to a rise in long-term rates. However, as mentioned above, since the great financial crisis of 2008/09, central banks have not only controlled short-term rates through policy decisions, but have increasingly focused on long-term yields through the policy of "quantitative easing", a set of unconventional asset repurchase techniques that reinforce the accommodative nature of their policy. In this context, Candriam believes that the volume of bond repurchases by the ECB cannot be offset by the volume of new issues on the market. The incentive programmes put in place during the "Great Lockdown" of 2020 imply that the gap between short-term and long-term rates remains under control.
Moreover, the differential between US real rates and those of the Euro zone, combined with persistent joint (trade and budget) deficits, seems to indicate a further weakening of the dollar until the first half of 2021. While supporting US corporate profits growth, this leads to a preference for investment outside the United States. In particular, there is a strong case for emerging market assets to outperform both local currency equities and bonds. A weaker U.S. dollar is good news for Latin American countries due to the high cost of servicing their dollar-denominated debt and the support it provides to commodity markets.
4. The pandemic has demonstrated that including long-term investment trends is useful in building a strong portfolio - environmental solutions, digitalisation and healthcare represent our strongest thematic convictions in this regard.
The pandemic has demonstrated that portfolio resilience can be strengthened by incorporating long-term trends that have become even stronger in 2020. We advise keeping the long-term "winners" of the crisis: strong governance seems to have produced better results during the pandemic. Sectors and countries that have shown resilience during the pandemic and are likely to continue to attract investors beyond this year include technology, healthcare, China and Germany.
We also believe that sustainability will continue to grow in importance: solutions for a cleaner future show high growth potential, fuelled by innovation. In this respect, we welcome the convergence of the three main players - and polluters - the United States, China and the European Union -- in their fight against global warming. We retain climate and environmental themes in our portfolios for the long term, as we are convinced that they will be a key component of the first half of the 21st century. In particular, we expect the clean energy and renovation sectors to be at the forefront of new investments to achieve carbon neutrality targets.
5. Let's learn the lessons of 2020: this pandemic year has shown that human ingenuity has prevailed. For investors, this means agility and active portfolio management.
Active portfolio management should once again be rewarded as much good news has already been anticipated since the first announcement of an effective vaccine in early November - as evidenced by the record levels of stock market indices worldwide. We believe that 2021 will be a year when portfolio managers will need to be agile, and active management will be rewarded.
As some major hurdles have been overcome, the investment horizon has broadened somewhat and our convictions have shifted towards a riskier position. This has resulted in an equity portfolio that is more sensitive to market movements (both up and down) and an overweight position in equities within the portfolio itself.
One of the lessons of 2020 is that human ingenuity has prevailed under the most difficult conditions. This leads us to remain hopeful as we enter 2021.

Capitalizing On Remix Culture: Beatport's Former CEO Has A New Mission
(Hypebot) – In this article former Beatport CEO Matthew Adell weighs in on the founding of MetaPop, a company working to bring labels, producers, and remixers together as well as discussing why remixes are so important, and how potentially profitable they could be.
Guest post by digital strategist Bas Grasmayer from Medium
It's 2016 and artists still have to think like lawyers when working on remixes. As someone whose music consumption primarily exists of remixes and sampled works, this is a very personal pet peeve of mine. The topic is, finally, getting some attention beyond lawsuits and takedown notices.
Earlier this year, a task force from the US Department of Commerce presented their findings of a 2-year study, suggesting that a compulsory license is undesirable. Instead, it recommends that the marketplace be left alone to figure this out. An upcoming key player in this marketplace, is MetaPop: a platform that connects labels, producers and remixers, co-founded by former Beatport CEO, Matthew Adell. To date, MetaPop has signed on over 5,000 labels and helps them clear and monetize fan remixes.
I spoke to Matthew about how it got started, why remixes are so important, and the future of the remix landscape and MetaPop's place in it.
A year after selling Beatport to SFX, Matt decided to step down and take some time off. After some time spent relaxing, he started looking for a new challenge, asking:
"What is not getting solved, because people just think it's hard?"
This question formed the basis of Matt's search for intractable problems in the music business. Having always had an interest in derivative works he decided to investigate this problem, because "especially in music, we've seen the behaviour of people making remixes without authorisation really become explosive," indicating that remixes account for 10% of all music listening on YouTube.
To find this out, he teamed up with Michael Mukhin, former CTO of Boomrat, and built a piece of technology called Remix Finder. The purpose of the technology was to understand derivative works online. To start, they created a huge index of remixes, mashups and DJ sets on YouTube. The index contains track information, metadata, and engagement metrics, and over time they could also start seeing the speed and frequency at which these derivatives were taken down. If at all.
"What we learned is while mashups have hits every now and then, there aren't a lot of mashups that generate a tremendous amount of engagement on YouTube. DJs have some of the tastemaker names in the world, but we found that other than after-movies from really big festivals, DJ sets weren't really generating that much engagement on a global scale. The work that was really generating the most engagement, and was leaving the most possible revenue on the table, was what we call the single-song remix."
So as a starting point, they honed MetaPop's technology on single song remixes and found that they're better at finding single song remixes than YouTube's Content ID tool. On YouTube alone, they identified over 8 million remixes that are currently not monetized for the original artist nor the remixer. This could mean hundreds of millions of dollars currently being left on the table, because according to MetaPop just 2.5 million of those fan remixes generate over a billion plays per month.
"So, we have built a system now that allows rightsholders and remixers to come together on our platform to authorise and monetise all of these fan remixes."
The platform is intended for all genres. In fact, they found that country music is one of the more popular remix genres on YouTube. But why should artists care about remixes in the first place? Matt explains how back in the day, one would have to press vinyl bootlegs to get remixes out there. It was a slow process.
Now music has become part of a constant flow of social media. As a musician, it's nearly impossible to create enough music to feed this constant flow by yourself, he explains. For remixers, it can help them get noticed, and for the original artist it means an expanded fanbase, and increased revenue.
It makes sense. If you make country music, and someone makes an EDM remix of your track, suddenly you're reaching another demographic that you otherwise wouldn't. MetaPop's revenue split, 70/15/15 to the original artist, remixer and MetaPop respectively, can form a great incentive to monetize remixes, as opposed to taking them down.
If it's so valuable to artists and there are hundreds of millions of dollars on the table, then why has nobody cracked this before?
"It wasn't solved before, because there was no money. And it's complex. Each country has its own laws for how to deal with derivatives." The rise of streaming means that now there suddenly is a way to monetize. You wouldn't be able to track the vinyl bootlegs and monetize them, but with all the music platforms out there now, there's suddenly a lot more data.
Matt also understands that older generations of original artists were more wary of remixes, but this is becoming less the case today.
In the next 10 years, he expects remixes to become even more prevalent, because the software and hardware necessary to create them is becoming ever-accessible. In this landscape, we'll see much less takedowns than we do today, with there being more systems in place to monetize instead. This is where MetaPop's place is, as a rights-clearing house for derivative works.
There's still a long road ahead. The team currently consists of 5 people, with all the technology being built by 1. The thousands of labels, remixers, and original artists they've managed to attract and host is an impressive feat, and testament to many years of experience the team has throughout music & tech.
MetaPop's currently in the process of raising a Series A investment round, so that they can start going global and bring in more music from more places. Besides single song remixes, they want to expand their footprint to cover other forms of derivatives, too, like mashups. The goal is, quite simple: to be able to monetize derivatives more widely and more efficiently.
Are MetaPop going to be able to crack this problem? Matt is confident.
"Nobody else has the right mixture of experience, tech and relationships."
Personally, I'm happy to see people cracking away at this problem, because its importance is underestimated. There are 2 trends that make it urgent to create a legal base for derivative works:
Adaptive music: generations are growing up expecting interactivity from everything in their environment. This is the generation that is growing up trying to swipe magazines, televisions and windows, believing they should be able to interact with it. Their music is going to be adaptive to fit the situation and whims of the listener.
The remix is the internet's language: whether it's attaching a gif to a tweet, changing the caption on a meme, or filming yourself playbacking on the wildly popular Musically, we use the remix to express ourselves now. Music genres are increasingly behaving like memes: they often start with remixes by bedroom producers giving existing tracks another twist. Takevaporwave, moombahton, nightcore or even edm-trap as an example.
This is the way people interact with music now. The world shouldn't have ignored the inner city kids sampling in the 80s and 90s to create hiphop, but now there's just no getting around it.
Remixing is the new default.
Matt and I are both speaking at Amsterdam Dance Event (19–23 Oct). Come see us.

Using gel memory foam built into the base of the cover and a layer of memory foam under, the Nectar contours well, but doesn't have the same hug frequently associated with memory foam beds. Both the gel memory foam and the lack of sink-in feel mean the Nectar sleeps significantly cooler than most memory foam models.
A support core consisting of high-density polyfoam is made to withstand the test of time. Given its makeup, we expect the Nectar to last at least 7-8 years, making it a lasting option. The Nectar is difficult to beat at this price, so if you're looking for an affordable bed built with quality materials, your search can end here.
Launched in 2017, Nectar has grown into one of the most loved brands in the bed-in-a-box industry. The Nectar Mattress is a great and affordable investment for your home and here's why. While Nectar features an adjustable foundation and frame, its flagship mattress remains its crowning jewel, mixing a breathable base with thick layers of memory foam for deep pressure relief. Also, it has cooling properties that wick heat away from you as you sleep. Nectar uses a combination of memory foam, base foam and gel quilting foam that offers a very secure sleep surface. You'll definitely experience that shaping feel you expect from a memory foam bed. That's 5 layers of customization and comfort for you.
It's worth noting that at $699 for a Queen, the Nectar is more affordable than either the Casper or Purple, both of which come in at about $1,000.
The most notable aspect of the Nectar's construction is the amazing 4″ of memory foam up top, which results in a considerable amount of body contouring and sinkage. This is an all-foam mattress made up of three different layers that pile up to an 11″ profile.
First, the cover is comprised of both cotton and Tencel, an eco-friendly material known for its softness and breathability. With that there's an inch of gel memory foam quilted into the cover, which offers the sleeper with immediate comfort. The combination of the gel infusion and Tencel fibers make for an ultra-cool layer that'll help regulate temperatures while you sleep.
The second layer is 3″ of memory foam, the Comfort Layer. This material has a remarkably slow reaction to pressure, allowing sleepers to really sink in for some satisfying pressure relief. As the foam shapes to the curves of your body, you're most likely to feel like you are sleeping more "in" the bed than "on top" of it, which is a perfect fit and a pleasant feel for side sleepers needing cushiony support at the shoulders and hips.
Next you'll find a transitional layer of memory foam, which has a marginally quicker response to pressure than the foams above it. This section is supposed to alleviate the sleeper into the firmer foundation under, helping to extend the shaping of the comfort layer deeper into the mattress.
Lastly, we've got 6 inches of high-density poly foam. This foundation layer gives the bed its firmness and contour, providing a firm foundation upon which the softer foams can respond.
After breaking down the construction of the mattress, let's talk about the firmness and feel. By putting some light hand pressure to the mattress you will find that immediately you will be interacting with all the thick layers of memory foam up top. Lying down you will feel yourself sinking into the mattress, with the gentle foams contouring around you.
Another essential part is pressure, or more specifically where pressure points are most likely to shape while laying on top of it. To help you visualize where these pressure points may be, I have listed the parts of the body where majority of people feel most pressure when sleeping.
Side – Side sleepers tend to prefer softer mattresses that shape snuggly to the shoulders and buttocks, and the Nectar more than delivers on this front.
Stomach – Unfortunately, this comfort does not necessarily carry over for the stomach area. The thick layers of memory foam causes the hip area to sink from alignment with the shoulders, which makes for some tension along the backbone. In general, stomach sleepers usually opt for firmer mattresses, therefore I wasn't too surprised by this result.
Testing out the Nectar, I was really stunned by the feel of the foam. Because as I rolled and moved around the bed I actually felt like I was sinking just enough and not too much. I decided to find out the actual sinkage measurement for the Nectar. I was really astonished by how much I sank into the memory foam top layers. Based on my research: 45kg or 100lbs created 15.24cm of sinkage. That's 6cm for a hundred pound human being. It's safe to say, you are still more likely to feel as though you're sleeping "in" the Nectar rather than "on top" of it.
If for any reason you discover the Nectar is not for you, just contact the company and they'll arrange a free pickup; and also give you all your cash back.
The mattress fares well in comparison with other memory foam mattresses that come in at a higher cost. With very positive customer ratings on comfort, bounce, construction, and additional advantages, the Nectar is a really good buy for the money.
Now that we've broken down the particular, nitty-gritty details of the Nectar, let us expand the scope and have a look at some of its main rivals in the game. While every mattress has unique characteristics that make it a different product in the space, it can be useful to contextualize these distinctions against other beds. Plus, who doesn't love a little cross-referencing prior to making a big purchase?
Overall, our study did show that the Nectar is most definitely one of the cooler memory foam mattresses on the market today.
Fresh out of the box, the mattress is going to have a fairly powerful odor for the first two days. But after, the odor starts to fade, and in just a week is completely gone.
The Nectar can be sat right on a box spring. Or if you want, a platform or almost any other flat supportive surface. It can also be used with almost any adjustable bed frame, that can fit an 11 inch mattress.
You can also put the Nectar directly on the ground if that is what you'd like to do. Just be certain there is not any water or moisture around.
After the first five years, replacements and repairs will be honored for a 1 time shipping charge of $100. If a defect is found, the $100 will be waived.
– More specifically, I would say this mattress could be a real winner for side sleepers, that will benefit from its cushiony pressure relief in the shoulders and buttocks.
– While a lot of folks will enjoy the thick layers of memory foam in this bed, I'd say that tummy sleepers may find that it sends their buttocks out of alignment with their shoulders.
Additionally, it's risk-free one-year sleep trial,"Forever Warranty", free transport, easy return/refund procedure and very affordable pricing finalize the extended list of quality attributes and options offered to customers at the time of the initial purchase and afterwards.

As the skilled artisan will appreciate, a solid phase fiber is produced by drawing a viscous liquid or gel through a fine orifice. This liquid phase or gel can include native silk, which is an aqueous solution of silk polymer as found within the glands of animals. The liquid or gel can also include regenerated solutions of silk, which are obtained by dissolving naturally spun fibers within a solvent. Additionally, the liquid or gel can include genetically engineered silk-like solutions. An example of a genetically engineered silk-like solution is that disclosed by Prince et al., D. Biochemistry, Vol. 34 (1995), pp. 5 or Lewis et al. in Protein Expression Purification, Vol. 7 (1996), pp. 400-406.
The nanofibers of the present invention have an average diameter of less than about 2, 000 nanometers. Preferably, the average diameter of the fibers is from about 2 to about 2, 000 nanometers, preferably from about 5 to about 1, 000 nanometers, more preferably from about 8 to about 500 nanometers, and even more preferably from about 20 to about 200 nanometers, still more preferably from about 30 to about 120 nanometers, and most preferably from about 40 to about 80 nanometers. The skilled artisan will appreciate that the use of the term average diameter accounts for the fact that one single fiber strand may have a varying diameter across its length, and that the production of numerous fibers can produce fibers of different diameter.

Missouri Public Library Blocks Websites About 'Occult' Spirituality
by Terraphim
from raw story: The Salem Public Library in Missouri along with its board of trustees face a lawsuit for blocking access to websites discussing indigenous American spirituality and the Wiccan faith.
The American Civil Liberties Union and the ACLU of Eastern Missouri filed the lawsuit Tuesday on behalf of Salem resident Anaka Hunter, who was unable to access websites pertaining to the religions for her own research.
Hunter brought the blocked websites to the attention of Salem Library Director Glenda Wofford, but Wofford responded there was nothing she could do about the websites, which were blocked by the library's filtering system. Wofford said she would only allow access to blocked sites if she felt patrons had a legitimate reason to view the content and further said that she had an "obligation" to call the "proper authorities" to report people who wanted to view the sites, according to the lawsuit.
"It's unbelievable that I should have to justify why I want to access completely harmless websites on the Internet simply because they discuss a minority viewpoint," Hunter said. "It's wrong and demeaning to deny access to this kind of information."

Q: Maintaining the member's hours spent in the organization : Drupal Website I am running a Drupal powered website of my college. Each student has a certain (fixed) number of hours to complete in any kind of sport. Now, I am maintaining various sports on my website using CCK and Views.
Now, if a student plays some sport say A, he will go to the website and check out A's details. Also, after specified period of time a link appears on the A page where student can check out his hours. He can then log in and check his hours for A. And similarly, for others. Important point here is for different sports he will see differently managed hours.
There will also be a point where he can see his total hours that have been approved.
Most of the hours in my website are uploaded using .csv file. So, I am trying to do this mainly without the Drupal Modules. When someone uploads a .csv file I take the page title as a parameter and create a table with name as page title which is nothing but my event name. And, when some student queries his hours, I send it as a hidden parameter the title of the page and then return the hours of the student.
But, now I want to do this using a Drupal Module because this approach is somehow not working. Can anyone suggest me a Drupal Module for the above?
I tried using many modules for above, most close being User Points, in which I perceive points as hours. But this had some problems.

A: The problem is not clearly stated, but this can be a solution:

*

*Students are users of the site.

*Sports are nodes.

*Sessions are nodes.

*Sessions have a start and end date, two Date fields.

*Sessions are related to Sports using a nodereference field.

*Sessions are related to Students using a multivalued userreference field.

*When a Students is associated to a Session, it means it has completed some hours of the Sport related to that Session. The total number of hours are determined by the Session's start and end dates.

*Using Views and Views Attach you can

*

*Display upcoming Sessions for a Sport on its page.

*Display recent previous Sessions for a Sport on its page.

*Display the latest completed Sessions for a student on his/her profile page.

*Using a custom module and Views theming, on a Sport page you can add links to each of its recent previous Sessions to allow a student (ie. a user) to associate him/herself with that Session.

On Thursday, Berkeley High School reacted to an online post threatening a campus shooting by alerting parents, closing down certain entrances to the school and adding safety staff around the perimeter of the school. Wednesday, graffiti regarding a possible shooting was discovered inside a women's restroom at San Jose State and was ultimately deemed not credible.

Adult Victims That Were Sexually Abused or Assaulted As Far Back As 2009 Can Now File A Civil Lawsuit
The new year brings a victory for sexual assault survivors in California. Effective January 1, 2023, the statute of limitations to file civil claims for sexual abuse and assault has been extended, reviving the ability of countless Californians to file suit and seek damages for the harms they have suffered.
In 2019, Section 340.16 of the Code of Civil Procedure set the statute of limitations to bring a civil action for damages resulting from a sexual assault to 10 years from the date of the last act against the plaintiff and/or to 3 years from the date the plaintiff discovered an injury or illness from the assaulting act. Section 340.16 was however unclear as to whether or not the statute applied retroactively.
In 2022, Assembly Bill (AB) 2777 known as the "The Sexual Abuse Cover Up Accountability Act," was passed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom. Among other things, AB 2777 amended Section 340.16 of the Code of Civil Procedure to specify that it applies to any actionable assault or abuse that occurred on or after January 1, 2009. AB 2777 revives the statute of limitations for claims that occurred on or after January 1, 2009 that would have been barred solely because their statute of limitations had expired; these claims will now be actionable until at least December 31, 2026.
In addition, AB 2777, addresses the statute of limitations for sexual assault cover-up claims against employers. AB 2777 provides a one-year lookback period for claims against employers who attempted to cover up assault allegations that would otherwise be untimely. Between January 1, 2023 and December 31, 2023 claims against employers for covering up sexual assaults or abuses are revived. In the year 2023, Plaintiffs may bring claims against their employers for sexual assault cover ups that would have been barred solely because their statute of limitations had expired. AB 2777 explicitly revives claims of sexual harassment and wrongful termination associated with incidents of sexual assault cover up.
As of January 1, 2023, many survivors of sexual assault have an unprecedented and extended window to bring claims as plaintiffs in civil court. Here at Avloni Law, we stand with sexual assault and abuse survivors as they fight to secure justice for the sexual violence they have endured. If you have experienced sexual assault or abuse dating back to January 1, 2009, or a cover-up by an employer, and are interested in bringing claims as a plaintiff in civil court, please reach out to us.
Avloni Law is a boutique plaintiffs' litigation law firm taking on the world's largest corporations and entities and fighting for the rights of victims through employment litigation and more. We have a network of offices, including San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Jose, and our reach throughout California and the Bay Area is not limited to the cities where we maintain offices.

Interning at the Centre for Nanomedicine has been a wholly fulfilling experience. Projects in which I was involved stemmed from the synthesis of "evolutionary nanoparticles", and their bio-application. Firstly, I prepared zinc-doped iron oxide, employing centrifuge separation and familiar synthetic techniques. Such nanoparticles may act as "magnetic switches" in initiating apoptosis. Secondly, I worked on surface modification of these nanoparticles, coating them with materials like silica for aqueous solubility. This is necessary for introduction to aqueous media – namely, the human body. Finally, I synthesised "core-shell" type nanoparticles, effective as hyperthermia agents in cancer therapy.

Q: UIViewController viewDidLoad vs. viewWillAppear: What is the proper division of labor? I have always been a bit unclear on the type of tasks that should be assigned to viewDidLoad vs. viewWillAppear: in a UIViewController subclass.
e.g. I am doing an app where I have a UIViewController subclass hitting a server, getting data, feeding it to a view and then displaying that view. What are the pros and cons of doing this in viewDidLoad vs. viewWillAppear?

A: Depends, Do you need the data to be loaded each time you open the view? or only once?

*

*Red : They don't require to change every time. Once they are loaded they stay as how they were.

*Purple: They need to change over time or after you load each time. You don't want to see the same 3 suggested users to follow, it needs to be reloaded every time you come back to the screen. Their photos may get updated... you don't want to see a photo from 5 years ago...

viewDidLoad: Whatever processing you have that needs to be done once.
viewWilLAppear: Whatever processing that needs to change every time the page is loaded.
Labels, icons, button titles or most dataInputedByDeveloper usually don't change.
Names, photos, links, button status, lists (input Arrays for your tableViews or collectionView) or most dataInputedByUser usually do change.

A: viewDidLoad is things you have to do once. viewWillAppear gets called every time the view appears. You should do things that you only have to do once in viewDidLoad - like setting your UILabel texts. However, you may want to modify a specific part of the view every time the user gets to view it, e.g. the iPod application scrolls the lyrics back to the top every time you go to the "Now Playing" view.
However, when you are loading things from a server, you also have to think about latency. If you pack all of your network communication into viewDidLoad or viewWillAppear, they will be executed before the user gets to see the view - possibly resulting a short freeze of your app. It may be good idea to first show the user an unpopulated view with an activity indicator of some sort. When you are done with your networking, which may take a second or two (or may even fail - who knows?), you can populate the view with your data. Good examples on how this could be done can be seen in various twitter clients. For example, when you view the author detail page in Twitterrific, the view only says "Loading..." until the network queries have completed.

A: It's important to note that using viewDidLoad for positioning is a bit risky and should be avoided since the bounds are not set. this may cause unexpected results (I had a variety of issues...)
This post describes quite well the different methods and what happens in each of them.
currently for one-time init and positioning I'm thinking of using viewDidAppear with a flag, if anyone has any other recommendation please let me know.

A: Initially used only ViewDidLoad with tableView. On testing with loss of Wifi, by setting device to airplane mode, realized that the table did not refresh with return of Wifi. In fact, there appears to be no way to refresh tableView on the device even by hitting the home button with background mode set to YES in -Info.plist.
My solution:
-(void) viewWillAppear: (BOOL) animated { [self.tableView reloadData];}
