The DoD suddenly stopped funding Ebola vaccine research through these two corporations due to financial constraints. With the sporadic nature of Ebola outbreaks, combined with the absolute deadly nature of the virus makes it a hard sell to large pharmaceutical corporations because it "isn't a huge customer base and big pharma is obviously interested in big profits. So these niche products which are important for biodefense are really driven by small companies," according to Larry Zeitlin, president of Mapp Biopharmaceuticals, who is developing therapies to combat Ebola.
To infect a large amount of people (like the population of a large US city) with a bio-weapon like the Ebola virus, drones could be used to spray over-head with ease. Because of the immediacy of infection, the population of cities affect would experience a dramatic reduction nearly instantly. In fact, it would take nearly a week for officials to even respond to this type of pandemic and by that time, thousands of Americans would have succumbed to the Ebola virus.

Harvard Study Finds Human Resting Metabolic Rate Has Declined Since 1830
Harvard's Human Evolutionary Biology department is based in Peabody Museum. By Rohan W. Goel
By Katherine M. Burstein and Tyler J. H. Ory, Contributing Writers
The human resting metabolic rate and levels of physical activity have declined in the United States since 1830, according to a recent study by researchers in Harvard's Department of Human Evolutionary Biology.
The study found a 6 percent reduction in human resting metabolic rate since 1830, which suggests an average decrease of 27 minutes of "moderate to vigorous" daily physical activity, such as walking or jogging. The researchers attributed the change to a decrease in physical activity due to technological advancement.
The study was conducted by Andrew K. Yegian, a postdoctoral fellow in HEB and Daniel E. Lieberman, a professor of Biological Sciences and HEB, along with Louisiana State University's Steven Hymsfield. The findings were published last month in Current Biology.
Lieberman, whose lab the study was conducted in, said the idea to use temperature data to depict the change came from a study he and his lab read that attributed the decrease in human average temperature to changes in the demand of the immune system.
"I was particularly interested in the fact that they had inferred in the paper that the reason for this decline was less immune function," he said. "It's not an unreasonable hypothesis, but there's a bunch of other studies which kind of disprove that, or call that into question."
"So, I thought, I don't believe that," he added.
Lieberman said he set out to understand metabolism as a result of industrialization and trends of declining physical fitness rather than decreasing immune function.
"Let's see if we can use body temperature as a thermometer to estimate how much less physical activity people have been doing," he said.
Yegian said he believes it is crucial to quantify the decline in physical activity.
"It's really important to start putting numbers on that so that we can get a sense of 'Okay, what were the levels back at a certain point in time?' and 'How many people get that kind of physical activity nowadays? And 'What kind of increase in activity would it take to get to that point?'"
Lieberman said even minor technological changes to everyday life impact humans' overall physical activity.
"Our modern world of elevators and escalators and shopping carts and, you know, all these devices that we've created that have made manual labor more rare," he said.
Lieberman said this broader decline in physical activity among humans can be seen around campus.
"We know that the vast majority of Harvard students don't exercise very much," he said. "Back in the day, Harvard students didn't have elevators that could take them up various buildings, and they had to walk around campus because there weren't shuttle buses."
This change has significant repercussions for human health, Lieberman said.
"It should concern us all, because it affects long-term health, and heart disease, and cancer, and Alzheimer's, and diabetes, and the list goes on," he said.
Lieberman said the decrease in physical activity requirements by universities in the United States contributed to this decline.
"We dropped [physical activity requirements] before we realized just how bad the physical inactivity epidemic was going to be," he said. "We're now seeing the consequences of that."

No Middle Name is an anthology book from the Jack Reacher series by British writer Lee Child. It is a collection of two novellas and ten short stories.

Novellas:
Too Much Time
High Heat

Short stories:
"Deep Down"
"Everyone Talks"
"Guy Walks into a Bar"
"James Penney's New Identity" (1999 version)
"Maybe They Have a Tradition"
"No Room at the Motel"
"Not a Drill"
"Second Son"
"Small Wars"
"The Picture of the Lonely Diner"

The book was released on May 16, 2017, by Delacorte Press. These pieces concentrate on Jack Reacher's life, before, during, and after his military career.

Reception
A Publishers Weekly review stated, "Though Child ... is at his best in the longer entries, this volume demonstrates what his fans already know: he's a born storyteller and an astute observer." Kirkus Reviews commented, "...the short form is refreshing after the misfire of Child's last novel, in which the violence became unpleasant and the tone curdled. No such problem here. And it's encouraging that the novella Too Much Time, which leads into the next Reacher novel, feels like a return to form. These are tasty appetizers that will hopefully lead to a satisfying entree." Writing for the Evening Standard, Mark Sanderson stated, "...Lee Child, like his creation, always knows exactly what he's doing — and he does it well. Time in his company is never wasted."

What They're Sayin'
Dip your feet into the first chapter of each book, and fall into my world of hot, alpha men, and the independent women who love keeping them on their toes...
Penny Kline didn't come to Honduras on a pleasure trip. She's here to rescue her kidnapped niece, the only family she's got left. What she didn't plan on was walking into a covert ops mission---or being wrapped up in the hard-muscled arms of Rafe Ortega. The cool-as-ice operative's touch may get her all hot and bothered, but no man can have a hold on her heart until her niece is home where she belongs.
Even in the tropics, Alpha Security operative Rafe can take down the bad guys without breaking a sweat. Hostage extractions. Clandestine missions. Those are the things he's been trained to handle. Relationships? Not so much. But one look at this strong, sexy redhead and he's seized by a fierce urge to protect her at all costs. Now Penny and Rafe will have to up their game because they're about to go into a master criminal's lair without backup, and the danger---and passion---is about to explode.
Alpha Security operative Trey Hanson is ready to settle down. When he meets a gorgeous blonde in a bar, and the connection between them is off the charts, he thinks he's finally found the one. But after their night together ends in a hail of gunfire and she disappears in the chaos, Trey's reasons for tracking her down are personal . . . until he learns she's his next assignment.
Elle Monroe never expected to see Trey again. The night they shared was incredible, but the last thing she's looking for is a relationship. Now that it's clear she's being targeted, though, she has no choice but to trust this man she barely knows with her life. And Trey's not just determined to keep her safe . . . he's determined to win her heart.
As the first female operative at Alpha Security, Charlotte "Charlie" Sparks has her work cut out for her. Sure, she can wrestle a man to the ground and hit a target at 200 yards with the best of them. But sometimes, being surrounded by all that testosterone can drive a woman to distraction-especially when that distraction is six-and-a-half feet of cocky, confident, Alpha-trained muscle.
Ex-SEAL commander Vince Franklin has been on some of the most dangerous missions in the world. But pretending to be Charlie's fiancé on their latest assignment in Miami is his toughest challenge yet. Vince and Charlie are like oil and water; they just don't mix. And when their fake romance generates some all-too-real heat, Vince learns that Charlie is more than just arm candy. She's the real deal-and she's ready for some serious action.
Hot Target: An Alpha Security Novella

Even worse, she's being bailed out by the last man she wants to see right now: the irresistibly sexy, infuriatingly cocky Alpha op who rescued her a year ago. What are the odds?
Logan Callahan is six-and-a-half feet of solid muscle and Texas charm, a hard-fighting ex-Marine with a soft spot for Rachel. He's more than obliged to hang up his cowboy hat and help her out. But when someone takes a shot at her, he knows there's a good chance what happens in Vegas won't stay there. With targets on their backs and killers on their tails, it's one high-risk game they're playing. And it's not just their hearts that are on the line . . .

Selespeed is another issue, thanks to incompetent mechanics.
I wouldn't say incompetent, but more unfamiliar.
Many a mechanic with good intentions and trying to help out an unfortunate client have come to grief with selespeed units, not because of lack of skills, but just simply not having the correct diagnostic software and a lack of experience and with the units.
Also the price of fixing it. I had one sele GT jts and it cost something like $2k to fix at an alfa mechanic because of the pump for the lower gears of whatever and the 2nd hand part was $800. I tried fixing it myself based on changing the o rings as other alfa forums said but it did nothing but than gave it to the mechanic. Thankfully car wouldn't start as didn't realize the hydraulic fluid is located at the top of the engine bay so essentially would have ran it without hydraulic fluid. And I couldn't find a workshop manual on the gt selespeed. But than bought another gt selespeed as the shift was way crisper than the first GT even after first one was fixed. Alfa's technology capability is high but there are no redundancy systems in place and the parts market has not enough new supply so the prices are high and they feed on each other and which is why alfas are worth what they are in many cases. I was watching the ratarossa YouTube channel and a Ferrari 308 fuel sender unit n the UK is cheaper than a 159 fuel sender unit in aus. This also leads to deferred maintenance and a cheap alfa can cost you a lot to get running right. But once it's running well they are usually very dependable and only the horror stories are spread about as no one cares when your alfa runs very well. Plus if you take to an alfa mechanic they know what's wrong with and will tell you whereas getting serviced at ultra tune could lead to more problems and they won't tell you what's wrong with it as they don't know.
One great way to tell an alfa mechanic is to check what car they come to work in . Just a heuristic I came up with when waiting for mechanics before they open up.
There a lot of great things such as looks, chassis, suspension, brakes, certain characteristics of the engines etc. If you value what an Italian engineer values than you will love alfas.

I'm still not sold on the twin spark idea. Most other brands had 150 hp out of 2.0 engines without extra spark plugs. Even Alfa's own JTS allegedly made 165 hp. Now this one I don't quite believe, as me and my friend dynoed our JTSs and got nowhere near those figures. So your average TS would be more powerful than JTS (say with 150kkm on the clock).
I didn't dyno anything but this 156 twin spark at 330,000km feels a LOT stronger than my 2 GT jts but it could be on a new engine.

You know, there could be some merit in this, my work car -
Perhaps wishful thinking? Placebo affect?
2004 Alfa 156 2.0 JTS Sportwagon (Patty)
That is a very tastefully done wagon!
I think the manual transmission helps it 'feel' different but it's probably a placebo until you have a dyno graph done on the same dyno ideally back to back.
warsch
Like I said, we did dyno the cars back to back. That being said, my friend got his JTS to perform - rebuild the head and skimmed it a bit and did some minor porting. After that it started to accelerate just like my car, we did some "drag" racing while doing circuit sprints. His car is selespeed and it seems like upshifts are on par with a manual. And downshift obviously are superior on a selespeed.
That's probably why the alfaholics gta r use the Twin Spark https://www.alfaholics.com/our-cars/completed-builds/gta-r-290-021-far-east-market/
The 156 ts super turismo also used the Twin Spark from around 98 to 2003 https://www.fcaheritage.com/en-uk/heritage/stories/alfa-romeo-156-superturismo
The later model was the 156 gta super 2000 which I presume had the ts still.
https://www.flickr.com/photos/45676495@N05/27213364781
Major Championships won by the 156 include the 1998 and 1999 Italian Super Touring Car Championship (Fabrizio Giovanardi) 2000 European Super Touring Car Cup (Fabrizio Giovanardi) 2000 South American Super Touring Car Championship (Oscar Larrauri) 2001 and 2002 FIA European Touring Car Championship (Fabrizio Giovanardi) 2003 FIA European Touring Car Championship (Gabriele Tarquini)
The Super 2000 rules were introduced in the European Touring Car Championship in 2002 to replace Super Touring, and to reduce the costs.
These cars still had 2 litre naturally aspirated engines ( a 4 cylinder in the case of the Alfa ) and around 270-280 hp, and a rev limit of 8500 rpm, but in the first year ( 2002 ) all cars raced with a 5 speed h pattern gearbox, instead of the 6 speed sequential gearboxes, that was used in the Super Touring cars.
At some point I want to compare the m3 touring cars to the 156 touring cars and maybe go through it season by season.
The conduit makes the car look way more pro. 30mm diameter is enough for the main bulky wires. Could go less diameter for the boot. 10m length did the whole car.

These 5 holes at the back of each floor well are just filled with sound deadening so dont chip them out. I used underbody spray to fill in the gaps.
Another cool feature I found is that there is a "scoop" for the radiator for the air flow. The grills in the front bumper are real. In the GT they were fake grills from memory.
Also the factory cold air intake in both the 156 and 159 is pretty cool.

The twinspark used by Alfaholics (Alfa75, 155, 164, etal) bears no relationship to the twinspark used in the 147/156/GT. It's a completely different engine, with a completely different lineage (heritage)

What do you guys think of a bolt like this for the towing straps? M16 x 2.0 by 40mm grade 8.8. No idea what any of that means besides that I measured the standard tow hook as as 30mm of thread plus the tow strap is about 5mm thick.
https://www.boltandnut.com.au/m16-x-2-00p-metric-coarse-galvanised-hex-set-screws-high-tensile-class-8-8
These worked well. I put on a m16 washer. However I did shave the towing strap holes slightly to get them to fit. Otherwise get the D bracket in a slightly bigger hole size than standard if it exists.
The other thing to note is that metal rail won't let it sit completely horizontal.
Socket was a size 24mm which is the same as the steering wheel bolt.
Since the front bumper is off I decided to change the coolant. Firstly it had green coolant in it. Now I have read that some people use this for motor sport and its easier to clean off the track? But I think red coolant is recommended for it. Can I put green coolant in it as I already bought it
There is no valve so you have to knock off the bottom radiator hose which is on the passenger side. Undoing the air box helps as well.
Side view. Anyone know what type of clip this is as can't get it close properly? I don't think it's a clic r but I could be wrong. Clic r is rhe 2nd pic
If anyone has info on the clip for the radiator hose as above than please let me know as car is sitting out of action for the moment because of it.
So figured I would spend some time on finishing up a few things. Trial fit of 60s le mans 24 hour race car livery .

> that verification step.  Is it more common to use the KEYS file?
"You will need to import the keys into your local keychain before you can continue.
You can do this manually, from the KEYS file.
Or, you can import them from a public key server:"
If you download from a key server, you need to trust it and check the fingerprint matches.
Importing the keys file is typically quicker and more trustworthy.

Watch the Wolf Among Us 2 reveal livestream here
Here's how you can watch the Wolf Among Us 2 behind-the-scenes livestream presentation.
The Wolf Among Us is one of the more beloved titles in Telltale Games' library. With that, The Wolf Among Us 2 has been heavily-anticipated for years. Following multiple delays as well as a shutdown and revival of its development studio, the second season of the mystery drama is finally back on track. We're set to get new details on the game with a special presentation going down today. Let's look at how you can watch the Wolf Among Us 2 reveal livestream.
The Wolf Among Us 2 reveal livestream will happen today, February 9, at 10 a.m. PT/1 p.m. ET. The presentation will be streamed on The Game Awards YouTube and Twitch channels and is being hosted by none other than Geoff Keighley. During the stream, we're going to get our first trailer for The Wolf Among Us 2, as confirmed in its announcement. This will provide a glimpse at the story, world, and perhaps even gameplay in the highly-anticipated sequel.
This virtual event will also feature a behind-the-scenes look at the development of The Wolf Among Us 2. We currently know next to nothing about the game, so this will hopefully shed some light on what Telltale Games has up its sleeve.
The Wolf Among Us 2 has had quite the turbulent development cycle, with conversations surrounding it going back to 2017. Since then, the game has been delayed, and Telltale Games itself completely shut down, only to be resurrected later on. There's still no known release window for the game, so here's hoping that will change with today's presentation. We'll be sure to report any important updates on The Wolf Among Us 2 right here on Shacknews.

Have you ever sat after church and no one spoke or look at you? Have you ever attended a fellowship only to notice that the members hung only with their respective group? Did you ever wear clothes that did not seem acceptable at a service? I spent many years in various churches that did not regard my presence for reason I can only imagine. I left those churches without a follow up and thinking where was the love.
When dealing with proper church edict Paul is usually a reliable source. Paul was communicating that believers are not meant to take a comfortable approach to our newfound liberties. We are freed for something greater. Primarily, we need to glorify God with all our life. Second, it's fair to say that we ought to love each other, and in this verse he mentions that it is good to please your neighbor.
As a counselor, moreover as Christian I have learned that my reality is a reality, but not the only reality. To be more effective, it is essential to reach and learn different cultural predispositions to be a better aid. Diversity is one our country's strength, in that, it allows us to embrace the strengths and weakens of others to build our great nation.
We could continue acting like this does not exist and morbid the relationship building that could possibly be helpful for everyone. As Christian, we should consider the way our country is evolving, being equipped with our youth, nationalities, differences etc… an that will help us in the Spirit of unity and build us up together as entity.
The church is filled with diversities and cultures. And one of our callings is to operate in a Spirit of unity. This is work; being transparent in all things gives the advantage to understand each other circumstances. God wants us to build corporately; this is how non-believer will know we are Christians by love for one another; by the way treat each other, and how we work with each other.

Sunday's in general are a day where families spend time together because nothing is really open, no super markets, only a few restaurants, and no shops. It's basically a day where you are forced to be with each other... which I think is a great thing and should be more of a tradition in the US.
Street performers and a naughty little Belgian!
to watch some locals dance in the street.

Q: Prevent CMS page availability on base URL I  have an issue in a Magento 1.9.2.2  store that I can't quite figure out the solution for, so i was hoping for your assistance.
There are 2 different store views each serving a different language. Those views are accessible by ULRs as the following:
base URL: www.example.nl
dutch version: www.exampe.nl/nl/cmspage
english version: www.example.nl/en/cmspage
The goal is to make the cms pages accessible only by using the correct country tag in the URL, this is working for the English part of the site but not for the Dutch.
To clarify:
www.exampe.nl/nl/cmspage is also accessible through www.exampe.nl/cmspage even when only nl is selected as storeview , the idea is to simply return a not found when trying to acces the cms page through www.example.nl/cmspage.
Any advice or tips you could give me on the subject would be greatly appreciated.

A: Please try this. It redirects every cms page w/o storecode in URL to the same page with storecode.

app/code/local/My/Module/etc/config.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config>
    <modules>
        <My_Module>
            <version>0.0.1</version>
        </My_Module>
    </modules>
    <global>
        <models>
            <my_module>
                <class>My_Module_Model</class>
            </my_module>
        </models>
    </global>
    <frontend>
        <events>
            <controller_action_predispatch_cms_page_view>
                <observers>
                    <test>
                        <class>my_module/observer</class>
                        <method>test</method>
                    </test>
                </observers>
            </controller_action_predispatch_cms_page_view>
        </events>
    </frontend>
</config>

app/code/local/My/Module/Model/Observer.php

public function test(Varien_Event_Observer $observer)
{
    $controller = $observer->getEvent()->getControllerAction();
    $request    = $controller->getRequest();
    $storeCode  = $request->getStoreCodeFromPath();

    $p = explode('/', trim($request->getRequestUri(), '/'));
    if ($storeCode != $p[0]) {
        $controller->getResponse()->setRedirect($request->getBaseUrl() . '/' . $storeCode . $request->getPathInfo());
    }
}

Note: if i find a better solution, i'll update this post.

A: I think this question has very easy solution.
Follow solution.
goto your cms page from your  admin panel open it in edit mode
in a very first tab you will find store setting.
so select those store only for that you want to access that page and disable , and make remain others as unselected

A: When creating cms page if you are selecting All Store Views the cms page will be available to all stores
so If you are using cms pages will be visible
www.exampe.nl/nl/cmspage
www.example.nl/en/cmspage

In case you do want the selected cms page in nl then you just need to select en store for the selected cms page you want.
In that case the selected cms page will be visible only to english store
www.example.nl/en/cmspage

Financial records are available along with other information on the business. Most sellers will stay and train a new owner and most will also supply financing. Finding someone who will teach you the intricacies of running a business and who is also willing to finance the sale can make all the difference.
Obviously, you want to consider only those businesses that you would feel comfortable owning and operating. "Pride of Ownership" is an important ingredient for success. You also want to consider only those businesses that you can afford with the cash you have available. In addition the business you buy must be able to supply you with enough income - after making payments on it - to pay your bills.
However, you should look at a business with an eye toward what you can do with it - how you can improve it and make it more productive and profitable. There is an old adage advising that you shouldn't buy a business unless you feel you can do better than the present owner.
Everyone has seen examples of a business that needs improvement in order to thrive, and a new owner comes in and does just that. Conversely, there are also cases where a new owner takes over a very successful business and not soon after, it either closes or is sold. It all depends on you!
Certainly, you need adequate capital to buy the business and to make the improvements you want, along with maintaining some reserves in case things start off slowly. You need to be willing to work hard and, in many cases, to put in long hours.
Unfortunately, many of today's buyers are not willing to do what it takes to be successful in owning a business. A business owner has to, as they say, be the janitor, errand boy, employee, bookkeeper and "chief bottle washer!" Too many people think they can buy a business and then just sit behind a desk and work on their business plans. Owners of small businesses must be "doers".
When you find a business, the business broker will be able to answer many of your questions immediately or will research them for you. Once you get your preliminary questions answered, the typical next step is for the broker to prepare an offer based on the price and terms you feel are appropriate.
This offer will generally be subject to your approval of the actual books and records supporting the figures that have been supplied to you. The main purpose of the offer is to see if the seller is willing to accept the price and terms you offered.
If you and the seller agree on the price and terms, the next step is for you to do your "due diligence." The burden is on you - the buyer - no one else. You may choose to bring in other outside advisors or to do it on your own - the choice is yours.
Once you have checked and approved those areas of concern, the closing documents can be prepared, and your purchase of the business can be successfully closed. You will now join many others who, like you, have chosen to become self-employed!
It may be advisable to have an attorney review the legal documents. It is important, however, that the attorney you hire is familiar with the business buying process and has the time available to handle the paperwork on a timely basis. If the attorney does not have experience in handling business sales, you may be paying for the attorney's education.
Most business brokers have lists of attorneys who are familiar with the business buying process. An experienced attorney can be of real assistance in making sure that all of the details are handled properly. Business brokers are not qualified to give legal advice.
However, keep in mind the fact that many attorneys are not qualified to give business advice. Your attorney will be, and should be, looking after your interests; however, you need to remember that the seller's interests must also be considered.
If the attorney goes too far in trying to protect your interests, the seller's attorney will instruct his or her client not to proceed. The transaction must be fair for all parties. The attorney works for you, and you must have a say in how everything is done.
You have to make the final decision that "leap of faith" between looking and actually being in business for yourself is a decision that only you can make!


Arizona River Runners / Blog / What if my duffel bag is a different size?
We recommend bringing a soft-sided duffel bag approximately 12 inches tall, 12 inches wide, and 24 inches long to fit your personal items and clothes in. It is okay if your bag has different dimensions as long as the volume is similar and the sides squish down. However, you cannot bring luggage or suitcases. Once you get to the launch, you will put your duffel into one of our large dry bags. These bags already have your sleep kit (sleeping bag, pillow, sheet, and ground tarp) in them and your duffel bag needs to fit on top. To function properly, the top of the bag needs to roll down several times. If you have an oversized duffel it will be very tough to fit into the dry bag and seal it properly against water to keep your gear dry.
1. If you are packing more than 25 pounds of gear on any of our river trips, you are WAY overpacked. You really do not need or want that much stuff in the canyon. In fact, most of our guests wear the same clothing for multiple days. Be sure to check out what we provide and consult your packing list.
2. If you are on one of our trips with a charter flight, the airlines may charge an excess baggage fee.
3. Everyone helps to load the rafts in the morning and unload upon arriving to camp in the evening. The heaviest bag does tend to stand out. Plus, you will have to carry your bag to wherever you decide to set up camp each night.
Alcohol – does not count towards your weight limit on the river as it will be stored separately. However, it DOES count toward your weight limit on the charter flights. If your trip starts at Lees Ferry/Marble Canyon you will have a chance to buy beer and boxed wine (not liquor) at Marble Canyon before you head to the river. If you are on a 3-day trip you may want to split up any alcohol weight by adding a few beers to each person's bag, instead of having one person carry it all.
Hiking Shoes – If you bring an additional pair of shoes to use for longer dry hikes, you do not need to be able to fit them in your duffel. Once you get to the river, they can be stored in a separate dry bag that will be used as the "community shoe bag." This bag will be accessible before side hikes.
Trust us, life is easier if you pack light and can keep your gear together in your duffel bag as you travel to and from the river.


Students in The Immokalee Foundation's programs not only excel in academics but also as charitable citizens.
"Along with being a Christian based company, the brand prides itself on being a giveback company," Cantu said. Each quarter, the staff from the franchise's 100 plus stores are given a theme; based on that theme, they choose a nonprofit to receive 10 percent of net sales one day a week during that quarter. For Fall 2018, the charity focus was 'helping children.' Cantu saw an opportunity.
"I told them about the foundation's mission and what they're doing for children in Immokalee, helping them look beyond high school and know they have the opportunity to excel," Cantu said. Cantu knows from personal experience: He was a junior in high school when he decided he would pursue a career in fashion – but he had no idea how to go about it. He had heard great things about The Immokalee Foundation, so he sent a letter about how much he wanted to attend a summer program at the Art Institute of Chicago to prepare for a future in fashion.
That's when doors began to open. Not only did he spend that summer in the program at the Art Institute of Chicago, but he also attended another at the Illinois Institute of Art. While working on alumnus gives back through Altar'd State philanthropy body casting, painting, art history and fashion design, he created his own 10-piece designer garment collection and earned his first three college credits.
Through advice, contacts and scholarship money from the foundation, he earned his degree at Philadelphia University. In addition to Altar'd State, Cantu has had experience working for Nautica, QVC and Lilly Pulitzer, as well. Cantu told his coworkers about the Take Stock in Children scholarship opportunities and the foundation's mentorship program.
Over the course of 11 Mondays, 10 percent of the net sales at Altar'd State were earmarked for The Immokalee Foundation, which added nearly $4,000 to the foundation's general fund to support programs that serve children beginning in elementary school through post-secondary education. Store personnel learned about The Immokalee Foundation so they could share the organization's success stories with customers, who were invited to take brochures and learn more through the foundation's website.

Der Spilling (Prunus domestica subsp. pomariorum), auch Spille, Spilke, Katharinenpflaume oder Spenling (Österreich) genannt, ist eine Unterart der Pflaume (Prunus domestica). Er steht der Hafer-Pflaume nahe. Besonders in Südeuropa wird der Spilling als Obst angebaut und verwildert auch.

Merkmale
Der Spilling wächst im Vergleich zu anderen Pflaumensorten mittelstark und bildet eine lichte Krone aus dünnen Ästen und Zweigen. Im Gegensatz zur Hafer-Pflaume sind die Zweige unbedornt. Die Blüten sind etwas grünlich-weiß. Die Steinfrucht ist 2 bis 3,5 Zentimeter lang, gelb, rot oder blau gefärbt, länglich, doppelspitzig, sehr weichfleischig und frühreif. Der Steinkern ist 45 bis 50 % so dick wie lang, sehr abgeflacht, doppelspitzig und weist eine leichte Krümmung auf. Er löst sich vom Fruchtfleisch, seine Rückenfurche besitzt nur schmal ausgebildete Kammstriche. Das Fruchtfleisch schmeckt süß, mirabellenartig, der Zuckergehalt kann bis 19 % betragen.

Sorten

Man kann folgende Sorten unterscheiden:
 katalonischer Spilling
 gemeiner gelber Spilling
 blauer Spilling
 gelber Spilling
 gelbroter Spilling

Verwendung
Der Spilling wird als Obst verzehrt oder zu Kompott und Marmelade verarbeitet. Um 1900 wurde der Spilling in Deutschland noch allgemein auf den Märkten gehandelt. Vor allem in Nord- und Ostdeutschland existieren noch Bäume.

Systematik
 Der Spilling wurde auch als Convarietät der Kriechen-Pflaume (Prunus domestica subsp. insititia) angesehen, convar. pomariorum (Boutigny) Dostál.

Montclair State University Press Room
Red Carpet Rollout
Montclair State University Press Room I March 28, 2022
On screen and off, students and alumni shine at The College Tour premiere
"Here at Montclair, our motto is 'Carpe Diem' (seize the day) and every one of our cast members has done exactly that," says Joseph Brennan, vice president for Communications and Marketing. Brennan, at far left, is shown with cast members Sal Parrinello '16, '18 MBA ; Natalya Kozlovski, Givonna Boggans, Nikki-James Soto and Victoria Povolo.
Rolling out the red carpet ahead of The College Tour's Season 4, the student and alumni stars of Montclair State University celebrated on March 24 with an Oscar-worthy Watch Party.
With the cameras rolling, the cast treated a live and at-home audience to clips from The College Tour and 20 different stories about what life is like at Montclair.
Complementing the on-screen cast, students worked behind-the-scenes filming the live broadcast and reporting a story they would title "Soaring and Streaming."
The full episode is available on the University's YouTube channel and website.
The national rollout on Amazon Prime Video launches in April, with the episode streaming on a number of platforms, including Roku, Apple TV and Sony, and The College Tour app.
The College Tour: Montclair State University Full Episode
Behind the scenes: Watch what it's like to be part of The College Tour as a crew films Montclair students and President Jonathan Koppell.
Kaya Maciak, a senior Communication and Media Arts major, co-hosts The College Tour premiere. "I can probably say that all of us who were ambassadors on this, we can check acting now because this is our movie."
A look from behind the scenes with Broadcast and Media Operations, which ran the livestream, directed by University Videographer Christo Apostolou '17, with School of Communication and Media graduate Jonathan Padilla '20 and current students Mike Banovic, Gabby Taylor, James Lynch, Jared Stock and Daniela Jimenez Valdez.
Co-hosts – Joseph Brennan, vice president for Communications and Marketing, and seniors Kaya Maciak and Jack Barteck – react to the audience during an interview segment with Sienna Grant Mitsak and Jennifer Burlage.
In his segment, Anthony Gachetti, a junior studying Earth and Environmental Science in the combined Bachelor's/Master of Arts in Teaching program, describes what he's learned giving campus tours as an ambassador.
Third-year Visual Arts major Sienna Grant Mitsak, in yellow, celebrates with family and friends. Mitsak, who founded her own hair-care brand while in college, says the opportunity to share her story on The College Tour was amazing. "Every day I really aim to help people on their journey with embracing their natural hair and going on their self-love journeys. I always give them affirmation, so to be able to be on this screen is honestly a dream come true."

The College Tour: Watch Party featuring Montclair State University
The College Tour: Coming Soon on an App Near You
A watch party on March 24 provides for a sneak peek of Montclair's big moment
Watch the live stream on Youtube.
There's a tradition among students who perform as Montclair State University's mascot, Rocky the Red Hawk: it's a secret until they cross the graduation stage wearing bright yellow talons to make the "big reveal." But for one member of Team Rocky that unveiling will be happening on multiple streaming platforms when he unmasks on the television series The College Tour.
"This is the coolest kind of reveal for Rocky that you could do," says Sean Risch '22, who graduated in January with a degree in Theatre Studies. He represents Montclair along with 18 other students and alumni in the University's hour-long episode that begins running in April on Prime Video, IMDbTV and additional channels. "Being Rocky was a personal thing and sharing that with America is just … awesome."
Ahead of the national rollout, Montclair is offering a sneak peek of the program – and Rocky – introducing the cast and taking viewers behind the making of The College Tour at a premiere on Thursday, March 24. The watch party will include a reception beginning at 6 p.m. in the lobby of the School of Communication and Media and an in-person and live-streamed program (on the University's YouTube channel) at 7 p.m. in the School of Communication and Media's Presentation Hall.
See Montclair Students, Alumni Behind-the-scenes with The College Tour
A crew from The College Tour visited campus last October, taping 20 different segments that cover all things Montclair, including campus life, academics, internships, research and service opportunities. "The crew let me be my complete, authentic self," recalls Nikki-James Soto. "I like to try new things and meet new people, but I didn't know what I was walking into."
Soto is a senior with a double major in Psychology and Elementary Education and, as part of Montclair's 4+1 program, will earn her Master of Arts in Teaching next year. Putting herself in front of a camera wasn't part of her college plans.
"I want to be a teacher. I want to work with kids. I never thought that I'd get a chance to do any sort of production," Soto says. "But I had such a fun time and was able to have friends be a part of it too. This is something we're going to have a memory of forever."
Produced by Emmy-nominated and award-winning TV producers, The College Tour helps prospective students around the country travel virtually across America for an inside look at colleges and universities. Montclair's episode is part of Season 4 on Amazon's streaming service, IMDb TV, on The College Tour's app (Android, iOS) and website; Roku, Apple TV, LG Smart TV, Samsung Smart TV, Sony, Philips Smart TV, Amazon FireTV, Android TV and Montclair's YouTube.

Nikki-James Soto, seated, left, films a segment of The College Tour with her friend Stephanie Grajales, a senior English major in the dual certification K-6 Education and Teacher of Students with Disabilities program. "This is something we're going to have a memory of forever," Soto says.
"If someone said to me a year ago I'd be promoting Montclair on a show, I wouldn't believe them," says cast member Samantha Wilk, a sophomore with majors in Psychology and Gender, Sexuality and Women's Studies. "Falling in love with your university in a global pandemic is as hard as it sounds."
In Montclair's episode, Sean Risch '22, who graduated in January with a degree in Theatre Studies, says playing Montclair's beloved mascot Rocky the Red Hawk was the role of a lifetime.
Ciara Chanel Allen, a senior, expresses gratitude for the scholarship support that has helped her pursue a BFA. "Montclair State University has molded me into the person that I wanted to be. Confident, independent, outspoken and unapologetically myself."
Gian Paul Gonzales '07, a former star athlete and now a high school history teacher and motivational speaker, describes the concept of being "All In"… committing to your personal dreams no matter the obstacles you face. At Montclair, Gonzales says, he "developed a love and a passion for how I could help my community, not by studying something that happened in the past, but by being inspired to want to change the present."

Wuffle was actually one of several projects that started back in the year 2008. At that time, he was designed to be the main character of a game with the same name.
It was supposed to be a platformer game about Wuffle fighting the three evil pigs, stopping them from destroying his land and turning the forest into a bunch of big factories.
Unfortunately, we never actually had time to work on the project, and it eventually got cancelled.
However, I was really in love with Wuffle's design. I wanted to see him come to life in some form. If he can't be in a game, I thought, then he can be in something else. And that's when I started working on the Wuffle comics project.
Finally, after 4 years, I think I have found the perfect story for him. I just want to see him come to life, living his little adventures with his friends. And here it is, right before your eyes, the comic as you see it today.
I hope you enjoy the comic, and will come to love Wuffle as much as I have.
Welcome to the world of Wuffle, the big nice wolf!
Hi, I am Piti Yindee. I'm a freelance artist who does graphic design, character design, and character animation for an indie game studio.
Wuffle is my personal project, a labor of love. Wuffle is a feel-good comic series that will make you laugh out loud, brighten up your day, and make you smile.
I've planned to make this comic and all the content here to be free for EVERYONE, so if you like it please feel free to re-post, like, share or use it for whatever you want! Also feel free to give me credit if you feel the need to. Sharing the love of Wuffle makes me happy already.
One thing I would ask you not to do is lie and say that you created Wuffle, lying is never good and if you do lie you will get caught sooner or later! But you're free to share Wuffle comics with your friends, and even make your own Wuffle comics, art, and stories. Wuffle comics have no copyright due to my use of the CC0 Waiver, meaning that Wuffle is like the classic fairy tales in the public domain. Anyone is free to make their own version without asking for permission from me or anyone else! Get creative and let your imagination run wild!
Wuffle is amazing, both the comic and the character. I love wolves, and it great to see one as handsome and friendly as Wuffle!
I feel like this comic needs more atttention. Everything is so polished – I'm really glad i found out about it!
I love your comic. Everything looks polished and clean but yet I still think that there are some hidden depths under that coat of polish.
Like the disappearance of Foxxo's parents , Joe's scars and Mr.Peanuts missing arm. Never mind what happened to Ms. Hazels husband?
Still answering those questions might darken the brightness. So it's okay if you don't answer them.
Thank you so much for reading Wuffle. About your question, I can only make 1 episode per month at the moment so it take some times to explore or telling some character's story.
Foxxo's parents are not disappeared, they just not showing yet. As well as Joe's scars. Mr. Peanut missing arm is nothing special, he just didn't have a right arm since he were born.
I simply love what you are doing with Wuffle, since I first saw him, I fell in love for such an innocent character and his simple world, contrasting with more frecuent unnecessary crazy, violent or rude characters and worlds, like our world itself.
I think your idea for an all-ages comic is great, and from my point of view is needed in an age that lacks of innocence, good will and naiveness.
¡Greetings and congrats from Mexico city!
Thank you very much ^^ I'm glad that you enjoy Wuffle and his friend!
Your work is great, my friend. Everything is so cartoony, bright, and fun it's hard not to fall in love with this great world you've created. The characters are wonderful, the plotlines range from hilarious to tear-worthy, you've struck gold here. You're a great artist and a great person to boot, keep up the great work!
You have a very unusual skill of art.
I was looking through some fan pics on FA, and then I discovered the character Wuffle. I found this website after, and discovered a lot of things. Right away, I was just into Wuffle. I really love that character! I then purchased a copy of the comic books, just in one day. So far, I believe you've done an excellent job with all of this. Good luck with all you're other comic book series! And someday, I'll draw a fan pic of Wuffle for you, or feature him in something. Anyway, all to the best!
I recently discovered Wuffle, and I absolutely love it! Stories, characters, art… It's all great!
I especially like how light-hearted it is! When all the other webcomics I read have their moments of angst, horror and other things I don't really like, this one doesn't (except the Halloween arc, but it's an Halloween arc, so it gets a pass)!
There's only one complaint: From where does Mr. Peanut come from?! You never even mentioned him before his first appearance!
(Greyham too, I know, but he does have a reason for never appearing before).
I really hope there will be a story about how he and Mrs. Hazel met!
Congrats from a french fan!
I just found about this site and Wuffle and I love it! The art is cute and original and the characters are lovable. I love the stories and comics; they're so happy and carefree.
I am a project facilitator at a school district. I would like to use Wuffle in a user guide I am writing for one of our software applications that we developed in house. This is absolutely nonprofit and I will of course credit you. He would be used throughout the manual as if talking to the reader, introducing functions and highlighting key elements. Does that fall within the free use you discuss?

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) address reporters outside the White House after their Oval Office meeting with President Joe Biden on May 12, 2021 in Washington, DC. (Photo: Drew Angerer/Getty Images)
In 18 Months, Republicans Are Very Likely to Control Congress. Being in Denial Makes It Worse.
The GOP have been methodically doing all they can to asphyxiate democracy. And they can do a lot more before the 2022 midterms.
Since the Civil War, midterm elections have enabled the president's party to gain ground in the House of Representatives only three times, and those were in single digits. The last few midterms have been typical: In 2006, with Republican George W. Bush in the White House, his party lost 31 House seats. Under Democrat Barack Obama, his party lost 63 seats in 2010 and then 13 seats in 2014. Under Donald Trump, in 2018, Republicans lost 41 seats. Overall, since World War II, losses have averaged 27 seats in the House.
Next year, if Republicans gain just five House seats, Rep. Kevin McCarthy or some other right-wing ideologue will become the House speaker, giving the GOP control over all committees and legislation. In the Senate, where the historic midterm pattern has been similar, a Republican gain of just one seat will reinstall Mitch McConnell as Senate majority leader.
"Truly bold political actions—culminating in landmark legislation to improve the economic and social well-being of vast numbers of Americans—will be essential to improve the slim chances that Biden's presidency won't lead to a Republican takeover of Congress midway through his term."
To prevent such disastrous results, Democrats would need to replicate what happened the last time the president's party didn't lose House or Senate seats in a midterm election—two years after Bush entered the White House. The odds are steeply against it, as elections analyst Nathaniel Rakich points out: "Bush was very popular in 2002 in the aftermath of 9/11. According to a retrospective FiveThirtyEight average of polls at the time, he had a 62 percent approval rating and 29 percent disapproval rating on Election Day 2002. And in this era of polarization—where presidential approval ratings are stuck in a very narrow band—it's hard to imagine (President) Biden ever reaching that level of popularity."
It's not just history that foreshadows a return to Capitol power for the likes of McCarthy and McConnell. All year, Republican officeholders have been methodically doing all they can to asphyxiate democracy. And they can do a lot more.
With new census data, the once-in-a-decade chance to redistrict means that Republican-dominated state legislatures can do maximal gerrymandering. "Because Democrats fell short of their 2020 expectations in state legislative races," FiveThirtyEight politics reporter Alex Samuels says, "Republicans have the opportunity to redraw congressional maps that are much more clearly in their favor." All this year, awaiting census figures to manipulate, Republican legislatures have been enacting outrageous new voter-suppression laws, many of the sort recently greenlighted by the Supreme Court and calculated to destroy voting rights.
In Leaked Video, GOP Congressman Admits His Party Wants 'Chaos and Inability to Get Stuff Done'
In the face of impending election disasters in 2022 and beyond, denial might be a natural coping mechanism, but it only makes matters worse. Reality should now spur a sustained all-out effort—in courts, legislatures, Congress and public venues—to safeguard as many democratic processes as possible for next year's elections, while organizing against the dozens of major voter-suppression tactics of recent years.
At the same time, truly bold political actions—culminating in landmark legislation to improve the economic and social well-being of vast numbers of Americans—will be essential to improve the slim chances that Biden's presidency won't lead to a Republican takeover of Congress midway through his term. Though largely drowned out by the din of mainstream punditry urging "bipartisan" approaches, many astute voices are urgently calling for measures that could transform political dynamics before the 2022 general elections.
"We've got to go big, and take it to another level," first-term Democratic Rep. Jamaal Bowman said in an email to supporters this week. "We've got to deliver and get this done for our communities. So why on earth are we wasting time trying to compromise with Republicans?" Bowman added: "If we do not fight for our communities and put them in the center of the work we do—if we continue to prioritize the myth of 'bipartisanship' over the people we were elected to fight for and represent in Washington—we will lose elections. If we want to maintain control and the opportunity to do great work beyond 2022, Democrats need to deliver in this very moment."
Nina Turner, who's likely to become a member of Congress in November after a special election for a vacant seat in a northeast Ohio district, said recently: "When are we going to learn? Republicans plan for the long term. What can we do right now before the next election cycle and get it done and go big? Because power is fleeting. You've got to use it while you've got it."
Days ago, in a Washington Post column, The Nation's editorial director Katrina vanden Heuvel posed "the critical question" as Congress reconvened after a holiday break: "Are Democrats ready to act?" She wrote: "While President Biden is selling the bipartisan infrastructure deal as a 'generational investment,' the real effort will come from using the budget reconciliation process to pass vitally needed public investments with Democratic votes only. For all the focus on Biden's ability to work across the aisle, the true challenge is whether he and the congressional leadership can work with all Democrats. That test will do much to determine whether the party can retain or increase its majorities in the next election—and whether the country will begin to address the cascading crises that it faces."'
What remains to be determined is whether such warnings will end up being the tragically prophetic voices of Cassandras—or clarion calls for action that are heeded in time to prevent an unhinged Republican Party from taking control of Congress when 2023 begins.

Tampa Council Trims "Event Zone" Around GOP National Convention
WUSF Public Media - WUSF 89.7 | By Steve Newborn
Published May 3, 2012 at 4:38 PM EDT
The "Clean Zone" is no more. Oh, it's still there, but now the security zone around August's Republican National Convention is called the "Event Zone.
The newly-named "Event Zone" will now allow parades by the public to last 90 minutes - not just an hour. And permitted events at city parks can go on all day, rather than just an hour. But the biggest change tentatively approved by Tampa's City Council is shrinking the no-go zone for most weapons and restricted gatherings.
City Attorney Jim Shimberg says city officials expect the majority of visitors to the convention to be law-abiding, but they're preparing for the worst.
"We just want to make sure because of what we've seen at other events, what we know is the current climate right now in our country that we want to make sure that - to the extent that we have people who are not peaceful - that our police will have the tools available that they need to keep everyone safe," he says.
But Tampa activist Kelly Benjamin says allowing groups affiliated with the convention exclusive rights to use city parks unfairly targets others.
"The RNC - having first dibs on specific public spaces and parks - Curtis Hixon Park being an example - that provides an obvious advantage to people who are coming here with lots of money," says Benjamin. "Rather than the people here who are trying to engage in a robust civic dialogue that makes this country great, and makes this country what it is."
Council members voted 5-2 in favor of the proposed restrictions. Council members Yvonne Yolie Capin and Mary Mulhern opposed it, saying the "event zone" footprint is still too large. It comes up for a final vote on May 17.

Lightspeed Unveils New eCommerce Features as SMBs Transform Their Businesses Digitally
As commerce shifts toward fast and efficient online shopping and personalized experiences for limited and distanced in-store visits, Lightspeed POS Inc. (NYSE: LSPD) (TSX: LSPD) has announced the release of new Lightspeed eCommerce features that will strengthen its omnichannel experience.
eCommerce more important than ever
In 2016, Lightspeed became an early innovator, introducing SMBs to a powerful eCommerce solution that synced with its existing in-store platform.
The company saw a 400% increase in eCommerce volumes processed by its retailers in April 2020, as compared to February, illustrating that merchants who adopted Lightspeed eCommerce to power their online business were able to adapt quickly to changing consumer behavior in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
As the global economy begins to re-open and entrepreneurs enter a new paradigm of business, Lightspeed has advanced its eCommerce onboarding process with 24/7 customer service available to new and existing merchants, supporting an increased volume of customers in going online and integrating the latest features into their operations.
Equipping merchants with even more robust eCommerce tools
Recent new features include Live Preview Themes, which allows merchants to test the look of their online store prior to going live, and Multi-Location Inventory. This gives SMBs the ability to display to consumers their inventory availability for all store locations online so no sale is missed.
Customers can also take advantage of a plethora of integrations available on the app store, working seamlessly with its multi-channel and multi-currency system, opening up a new world of selling possibilities.
Lightspeed merchants will also benefit from digital tools such as:
Lightspeed Shipping: An enhanced shipping broker service so Lightspeed merchants have immediate access to shipping rates and labels via Lightspeed eCommerce
Curbside Pick-Up: Enables consumers to shop curbside for convenience and flexibility
Personalized Shopping: Allows consumers to make appointments at their favorite merchants in a risk-free environment, building loyal relationships with store experts
"Lightspeed is a company that helps retailers and restaurants become digital, and by introducing these eCommerce features, we're able to address the immediate business needs of SMBs," says Dax Dasilva, Founder and CEO of Lightspeed.
"Omnichannel is no longer a nice-to-have, it's a must-have, and it is important for us to constantly innovate in the retail, eCommerce and hospitality space, so we can continue to support retailers and restaurants as they digitally transform their business."
eCommerce powered growth
"We know from our customers that they find our website easy to navigate and that check out is seamless–both on a desktop and, more importantly these days, on their mobile devices," says Lightspeed customer Simon Tooley, Founder & President of Etiket. "When we moved to Lightspeed eCommerce in 2017, we saw a jump in sales. We are seeing double-digit growth year-over-year, and part of that is because our focus is on our customers, new products and growth opportunities, rather than having to manage the platform."
To further equip merchants, Lightspeed officially launched Omni Loyalty last month, which allows retailers to build out their loyalty program with integrated offers and experiences seamlessly shared through both their online shop and their brick-and-mortar store.

PIK3CA N1044K
The catalytic subunit of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) is encoded by the PIK3CA gene. PIK3CA is among the most commonly mutated genes in cancer and aberrant activation of PI3K is a transforming event. PIK3CA mutations activate the PI3K-PTEN-AKT pathway which is downstream from both the EGFR and the RAS-RAF-MAPK pathways. The somatic mutations found thus far in PIK3CA are oncogenic, and the majority of them are clustered within exon 9 and 20 (helical and kinase domains), with three hotspots (E542K, E545K, and H1047R/L). PIK3CA mutations have been reported in various tumor types including up to 36% and 11% of hepatocellular carcinoma and gastric cancer, respectively. They are detected less frequently in cholangiocarcinoma (~6%) and pancreatic adenocarcinoma (~4%). The predictive and prognostic significance of PIK3CA mutations is unclear and needs further elucidation. Clinical trials targeting PI3K/Akt/mTor pathway inhibitors are available for patients with PIK3CA mutated tumors. The PIK3CA N1044K mutation is known to be oncogenic.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: The Funk Hunters' Nick Middleton Talks "Turn Down The Silence", DiRTY RADiO, And Debut Album "Typecast"
Jonathan Currinn January 31, 2018, 5:55 pm
It's been almost two weeks since The Funk Hunters released their brand new single "Turn Down The Silence". It features DiRTY RADiO and has been gaining thousands upon thousands of Spotify streams. We have to admit that we do love the song. So much so, we're proud to have had the chance to interview Nick Middleton from the duo.
The Funk Hunters consist of Nick Middleton and Duncan Smith. Their recent single is the first song of 2018 to be released from their forthcoming debut album, titled Typecast. Their career to date has allowed them to release official remixes for the likes of Selena Gomez, Imagine Dragons, Gramatik, and Big Gigantic. They are known for their collaborations with Chali 2na and Delhi 2 Dublin.
We were lucky enough to speak to one-half of The Funk Hunters about their single "Turn Down The Silence", working with DiRTY RADiO, and their debut album. Check out Nick Middleton's answers below.
Hi, Nick, how are you today? What have you been up to as of late?
We're in the middle of the second leg of our Soul City Tour across North America right now, we've got 3 weeks left on the East Coast of the US, just in St Louis at the moment enjoying one of our first days off before this week's shows kick off again tomorrow night!
You have recently dropped the new single "Turn Down The Silence", can you tell us more about the track?
Part of my goal with producing our first full-length album (Typecast coming out March 23rd on Westwood Recordings) was to step outside our comfort zones, collaborate with new artists, tear down genres, etc. And, I think, this song is a perfect example of this, it's probably the first pop-leaning song we've ever worked on and it's honestly just been really fun to work on feel-good vibey songs while also still producing more electronic-focused tracks too!
What was it like working with DiRTY RADiO on the song?
DiRTY RADiO are just amazing, I've been working with them for a few years now, have done some mixing and mastering work for them and we even took them on tour with us last year as Direct Support for one of our big Canadian tours, so it was only natural to get into the studio together, too. We've worked on a few new songs, the first of which that's been released is "Turn Down The Silence"; what can I say, Shady (their singer) is just incredible – both live and in the studio – and we get along great just really gel when it comes to working on music together. They're fantastic at writing hooks too, I'm personally a fan of all their music so that always makes collab'ing that much easier.
Describe "Turn Down The Silence" in five words.
Fun, chill, vibey, summertime jam!
It is one of your singles from your debut album "Typecast", how excited are you to release your first LP?
So excited, it's been so many years in the works, so kinda feels long overdue. This is actually the third song to be released – the first being 'Hands Up (feat. Leo Napier)" followed by "Say Something (feat. LIINKS)" – so I think the diversity in these first 3 songs already really shows how multi-dimensional the album is.
Can you reveal any exclusive details about the album to us?
I'm actually not sure if the official release date has been written anywhere yet, so you guys might actually have the lead on that. It drops March 23rd on Westwood Recordings!
What should we expect on the album?
The name "TYPECAST" came around from feeling like we had pigeonholed into a certain genre over the years, so that was really a focus to address when working on this album. We love so many different styles and genres of music and I really wanted that to be showcased on the album. It's really about breaking down genre stereotypes, exploring new genres, working with new vocalists and musicians, and refusing to be TYPECAST. And I'm really proud of the result, I think the hardest challenge was weaving it all into one cohesive album and somehow I think its worked. There's music to listen to, music to dance to, and a whole bunch in between. And, we've been blessed to collaborate with some incredible artists on the record too!
Which track is your favourite on the album, and why?
Such a tough question. I think sometimes as an artist you can be your own worse critic. There are so many songs that didn't make the cut on the record and when I wonder why I think it's about being able to go back and continue listening to them. Is this something I hate a few weeks or a few months later? Is it something I keep picking apart or am I happy with the end result? Anyone who works on a creative endeavour can probably sympathize with the conflict of feeling like you're never truly ever finished something, so I think trying to finish a whole body of work – like an album – is all about compromise and getting to a point where you can look back on the work and say 'Ya I am proud of where this ended up and I want it to live on the record.' I'm really excited about everything that's made the final cut, there's so much diversity on the album it's just so hard to pick one, it all depends what mood you are in I guess, and I think that's a testament to all the different directions that's been explored on the record.
Looking back over your career to date, what has been your highlight?
A few come to mind, I think touring and working on a record with Chali 2na for me personally was a big milestone. And, to have a friendship formed there through music with an artist who I've looked up since I was a teenager just means a lot. Chali's an amazing guy, amazing performer, amazing artist, and a great role model for so many of us trying to make it in the music game! Other highlights would definitely be performing every year at Shambhala (our fave festival on the planet), Red Rocks with Griz, and Coachella with the Do Lab!
And, finally, do you have a message for your fans?
Firstly, just, Thank You! I think it's something we as artists need to be reminded of regularly It's hard to take a moment to pause and reflect sometimes when everything is moving so fast and you're constantly on tour or in the studio, but none of it would be possible without our fans. Buying tickets, buying music, sharing music, buying merch – they all literally fuel an artist's career. It sounds simple but it is that simple. Without our fans, we'd be nowhere, literally. So, for that, I'm forever thankful!
Nick Middleton, you have been a star to interview. We are excited about your debut album "Typecast", being released, and we really cannot wait to review it, here at CelebMix. We also hope we get the chance to feel the energy that The Funk Hunters deliver during a live DJ set.
"Turn Down The Silence" is available to download and stream right now, with their forthcoming debut album being released on March 23rd; so watch out for that, along with our album review.
Did you enjoy our interview with Nick Middleton from The Funk Hunters? Let us know all your thoughts on his responses on Twitter @CelebMix.
