Accumulating evidence shows inflammation strongly influences the development and treatment of depression, a debilitating disease with a lifetime incidence of ~20%. Markers of Inflammation often are increased in the serum of depressed patients, interferon administration can induce depression, """"""""psychological"""""""" stresses that can induce depression increase inflammatory cytokines in humans and rodents, administration of inflammatory cytokines induces depression-like behaviors in rodents, in humans increased cytokines associated with a mild stimulation of the primary host defense system has negative effects on emotions, antidepressants have anti-inflammatory effects, and immune activation in patients with major depression is associated with resistance to antidepressant treatment. Therefore, in order to understand and design improved therapeutics for depression, it is important to identify mechanisms regulating neuroinflammation, inflammatory molecule accumulation in the CNS. Glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK3) recently was found to be a powerful regulator of cytokine production in the periphery. We extended this to the CNS, e.g., showing that GSK3 inhibitors reduce by >90% the production of the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 in astrocytes and microglia. We also found that GSK3 inhibitors promote tolerance to inflammation, down-regulating inflammatory responses to repeated inflammatory stimuli, which may be particularly important in controlling chronic inflammation that is likely associated with mood disorders. GSK3 also has profound influences in mood disorders, it is inhibited by mood stabilizers and antidepressants, pharmacological or genetic reduction of GSK3 activity reduces depression-like behaviors in rodents, and evidence in postmortem brain samples and serum from humans indicate GSK3 is abnormally active in mood disorders. We recently found GSK3 is activated in mouse brain by the learned helplessness model of depression. Taken together, these findings suggest that the pro-inflammatory action of GSK3 may contribute to its promotion of mood disorders, and that the therapeutic actions of mood stabilizers and antidepressants that inhibit GSK3 may involve anti-inflammatory effects. Thus, studies of the inflammation system provide a model system to study how GSK3 regulates key processes that are likely involved in mood disorders: epigenetics, tolerance, and behavior.
These aims provide independent but associated goals that will identify new mechanisms by which dysregulated GSK3 can contribute to mood disorders and identify how therapeutic interventions ameliorate these outcomes.
Specific Aim 1 will test the hypothesis that GSK3 regulates innate and adaptive immune system in the brain during depressive-like behavior.
Specific Aim 2 will test the hypothesis that GSK3 regulates epigenetics, using changes induced by inflammatory stimuli as a model.
Specific Aim 3 will test the hypothesis that GSK3 promotes depression-like behavioral responses to inflammatory and environmental stress.
Mood disorders afflict approximately 20% of the population of the United States at some point in their lifetimes. However, because the underlying biochemical causes of these diseases are not known, treatments often do not adequately provide therapeutic benefits. These diseases appear to develop due to genetic susceptibilities, life experiences, and environmental conditions, particularly stress. This project will address potential causes of susceptibilities to mood disorders and examine actions of mood stabilizers and antidepressants that may contribute to their therapeutic effects. The goals are to clarify potential causative mechanisms and discern how these are altered by therapeutic interventions with the aim of developing better therapeutic interventions for mood disorders.

Mental health charities offer advice following death of Robin Williams

Guidelines will transform suicide reporting in Scotland
11 November 2014 by Graham Martin
People struggling with depression urged to seek help following star's apparent suicide
Charities have reacted to the shock death of Hollywood superstar Robin Williams by urging people to seek advice over mental health problems.
The 63-year-old Good Will Hunting star died at his home in California from an apparent suicide.
Over the years he had battled depression as well as drink and drug addiction.
TheScottish Association for Mental Health tweeted: "Lots about suicide in the press today. Talk to someone you trust and remember help is out there."
A spokesman for the UK-wide Samaritans charity said: "We were very sad to hear the news about Robin Williams, our thoughts are with his friends and family at this time.
"Robin touched the lives of many people and we'd like to remind anyone who has been affected by this that Samaritans is here."
Meanwhile, Paul Farmer, chief executive of mental health charity Mind, said: "The apparent suicide of Robin Williams is a tragic and shocking event. Our thoughts are with his friends and family at this very difficult time.
"We would urge anyone who is experiencing the pain and distress of suicidal feelings to try and speak to someone, whether friend, family, their doctor or a charity such as Mind or Samaritans."

The world of work has dramatically changed over the last ten years. The birth of the internet, laptops, the cloud and the growing importance of work/life balance have all played a part in creating a very different working environment to what older generations might be used to.
With these changes in mind you may need to think differently about managing the so-called millennials in your workforce. Millennials or "Generation Y" are those born from around the early 1980's until the year 2000, and they may have different needs and expectations to other employees.
Here are a few ideas for how you might want to manage and support millennials in your business.
Unlike other generations, working remotely or from home is not a novelty for millennials, it is almost expected, so if it is possible to work a day or two from home each week this will certainly attract millennials to your company. However, this shouldn't mean you have to give your employees free reign to do what they want, when they want. Be clear about what you expect from employees when they are working away from the office so that they will know exactly what is required of them in terms of availability and accessibility. If you offer freedom and flexibility to your millennial employees it's almost certain you will be rewarded with productivity and respect.
Millennials are more interested in working for a company they love and believe in, rather than the company paying the biggest salary. Whether it is reducing your environmental footprint, donating money to a cause you care about or offering volunteering leave, all of these show that your company has social awareness. This will not only help improve your CSR standing among your millennial employees but also your customers.
Work/life balance is very important to millennials, so do what you can to show them that you value it too. Whether it is letting them choose their own hours wherever possible, encouraging time-off for volunteering or ensuring everyone takes their full lunch hour, millennials will appreciate being given some freedom and flexibility. Again, you will then find that they take their role and duties more seriously and are more focused and productive when working.
Other generations are used to rewards being given after good work is done, like a bonus after a certain length of employment. Millennials, however, are more likely to expect more regular and less formal benefits, like free fruit or drinks, Friday afternoon beers, a pool table or regular employee social events. Again this reinforces the work-life balance. Bring fun to the workplace to keep your millennials happy, though of course it can be enjoyed by all ages too!
A millennial is likely to change jobs and careers multiple times in their life, so being open to changing roles will help keep them with your company longer. Many will thrive from being a variety of different responsibilities in their job and will grab any opportunity to gain new skills for future work. You could try job swaps, shadowing or mixed project work to add variety to your team's workload.
Millennials in the workplace can bring lots of energy and creativity to your team, so don't be afraid to nurture this with a little bit more freedom, flexibility and fun!

Mediacorp secures deal with Dentsu for live broadcast rights of Olympics 2016
The Online Citizen 2016-08-05 Sports
Mediacorp has signed a deal with Olympics broadcast right holders Dentsu to broadcast live sporting action from Rio de Janeiro.
This agreement comes just 1 day away from the quadrennial sporting events' Opening Ceremony, which will be held on 6 August 2016.
Today had earlier reported that Mediacorp went into re-negotiation with Dentsu for the rights for live broadcast.
In the latest deal, Mediacorp will broadcast the Games live, every day from 6 – 22 August on okto and four Toggle channels. Viewers can have a choice of watching any of five live Olympic events via the two platforms.
The okto channel will be the designated TV channel for sports content. It will also feature "Today at the Olympic Games", a nightly show highlighting Singaporean athletes.
Mediacorp's deputy chief executive Chang Long Jong said in a statement: "As a commercial company with a social purpose, we needed to balance the cost of acquiring live broadcast rights and the expectations of our audiences. I am delighted that we have made a breakthrough in our negotiations with Dentsu to once again present the Olympic Games live to Singapore viewers."
Earlier on 31 July, Culture, Community and Youth Minister Grace Fu dashed hopes that the Singapore government would step forward with additional fundings to secure live coverage of the Olympic in Rio.
She said to reporters, "Obviously, the whole country is very excited. This time around the Olympics is important to us; many of our athletes train very, very hard. But obviously it's 30 hours away, the time zone is different, so I think, while Singaporeans are still very concerned and very interested in the performance of our athletes, I'm sure many of them will try to catch up and watch it at a later date."
Some has also commented that the live broadcasting is not necessary since it will be to late for them to watch the show.
Singapore Ambassador-at-Large Bilahari Kausikan wrote on his Facebook page, "How many people are really going to stay up until the wee hours to watch? I think this fuss is being kicked up by some — how many I don't know but I suspect not a majority or even a substantial minority of the overall population — diehard sports fans and others latching on to them for other agendas."
"Are our sports men and women going to do better because some of their compatriots are staying up late bleary eyed to watch them on a box half way around the globe? They already know Singaporeans hope they will do well and I am sure they will do their best anyway. And it is not as if you are going to wait weeks to know the results or watch the highlights."
"Investing in sports infrastructure is a practical way of encouraging sports and it does not follow that the government must lay out enormous sums for live broadcasts; the money can be better used in other practical ways to promote sports."

THE WINE Chardonnay the Cardellino , The Favorites range , by Elena Walch , marks an indissoluble link with his native land, South Tyrol. With its innate elegance and enviable structure, this Chardonnay is soft and responsive, and it gives a good grasp of its woody maturation that will refine and improve for many years. THE COMPANY Elena Walch is a leading Alto Adige wine estate, in family hands, and belongs to the elite in Italian wine production, with international success. Encouraging quality and innovation, Elena Walch stood at the head of the Alto Adige quality revolution and has gained local and international esteem for her efforts. An architect by trade, Elena Walch married into one of the oldest and most significant wine families of the region and brought new, modern concepts to the traditional establishment. Now, the responsibility for the family business is being put into the hands of the daughters, Julia and Karoline Walch, already the fifth generation. The philosophy of the estate is dedicated to its terroir – the idea that wines must be the individual expression of their soil, climate and cultivation in the vineyard – and that this must be maintained according to principles of sustainability and passed on to the next generation. The firm belief that the quality of wine is created in the vineyard requires uncompromising work, taking into account the individuality of each vineyard. With 60 hectares in cultivation, including the two top vineyards VIGNA Castel Ringberg in Caldaro und VIGNA Kastelaz in Tramin, Elena Walch belongs to the most important protagonists of Alto Adige winemaking. The wines show character, elegance and great personality, reflecting the most professional winemaking. The superb climatic conditions and the excellent location of the vineyards produce fresh and fruity white wines as well as concentrated and velvety red wines.

Today I learnt a thing about love,
From my daughter, who is 1,
But nearly 2 (so we say she's 2).
She pointed at the sky,
With a delight she could not contain,
Giddy and shaking with joy.
Choo-Choo! she cried,
At a plane (not a train).
She truly loved that thing she did not know.
She watched it as it went smaller in the sky,
Until it was no longer visible.
Then she looked to me with sudden sorrow,
But sighed with acceptance,
And waved her tiny hand,
"Bye-bye choo-choo."
She swung her head back and pointed back up at the sky,
And made a simple request:
"More choo-choo."
Inspired by my wonderful little Ori.
And next week we have another one due. More choo-choo.

Anyone who considers themselves part of the Kurt Vonnegut karass will love this new, tenderly crafted documentary, Kurt Vonnegut: Unstuck in Time. It's the culmination of an epic 39-year journey taken by filmmaker Robert Weide, over the course of which he and Kurt clearly developed a loving friendship.
I consider myself something of a Vonnegut nut, having trawled Kurt's biographies, autobiographical notes, and semi-fictional-autobiographical-narrative-elements in order to create Kurt Vonnegut Tweets. But I have nothing on Weide. And take it from me, the footage in this film – most of which I've never seen before – is absolutely fantastic. There are crystal clear home videos of Vonnegut as a young boy with curly blond hair, goofing around with his brother Bernard and sister Alice. There's Kurt in his twilight years, revisiting houses and schools from his childhood, explaining how they influenced his writing. There are interviews with his children, where they talk very frankly not only about the goods but also the bads of their father.
Slaughterhouse-Five – often considered Kurt's finest work – serves as the film's gravitational centre. The camera itself is unstuck in time, darting from Kurt in his 80s to Kurt in his 20s, from Robert's first contact with Kurt to him directing Kurt to cry 'Tralfamadore!' once more on the shore of Lake Maxinkuckee. It all comes together as something that isn't just highly informative but also deeply moving. And although at the start I was a little wary of how it featured Robert, the filmmaker, as well as Vonnegut, by the end I was convinced it was all done in a manner Kurt would've thoroughly approved of. Indeed, near the end you can litereally hear old Kurt over the phone in his raspy Pall-Malls-inflicted voice, saying how much he liked some earlier edit of this film.
If you don't believe me and Kurt, check out the LA Times review and this Guardian article. Or just watch the film.

Very happy to say that my latest story, 'One Machine, One Message', has just been published in the awesome Andromeda Spaceways Magazine (Issue 85). It might be up your street if you (or a version of you on another timeline) is interested in time travel, parallel worlds, and other such things that make your head hurt. I'm very proud of this one, so do check it out!

I started work on this story in 2017. It went somewhat into cryo until being defrosted in 2020. I have had so many amazing conversations with people about different drafts of it, where not only have I received invaluable feedback, but we've got lost exploring the concepts and/or drawing elaborate diagrams (if you read the story, you'll understand why).
I'd like to thank at least the following people for these conversations (in no particular order): my mum, my brother, James, Rob, Ben, and Russell. I'd like to give a special thank you to Emily, for the long (seemingly endless?) conversations, not only in this timeline but probably countless others too.

I feel very honoured to have 'Desynchronisation at Seven Sisters' voted as the winner of the Fiction Desk's Writer's Award! It's a great anthology and I've got a huge amount of respect for the other contributors, so this means a lot to me.
Check out more information on the award and how to get a hold of the anthology, 'Houses Borders Ghosts'.
As described in my previous post, this story was a long time in fermentation. It took years until I was happy with how to write it, but once I had a handle on that it was a lot of fun to work on. Many thanks again to all who helped me with discussions and edits along the way.

I'm very proud to have a short story in the latest anthology from The Fiction Desk: Houses Borders Ghosts, released today. I've loved their previous anthologies and long admired what they've done for new writers and short stories in general. It's been a pleasure working with them.
My piece is called 'Desynchronisation at Seven Sisters'. It was inspired by both a strange experience in a videogame ('Sins of a Solar Empire') about 8 years ago, and some real-life confusion at the Seven Sisters underground station. I hope you enjoy it and the rest of the anthology!
Thanks to all those who helped with feedback on drafts of this, including at least: Emily, James, Ben, and Rob Redman. Oh, and Alex, who fact-checked the geographical details.

The Library of Gromma
I'm very happy that After Dinner Conversation are publishing a new short story of mine, 'The Library of Gromma'. It's a story about a boy called Zac who is looking after his Gromma, an elderly engineer who has built up an immense mechanical library of her memories as a way of holding onto the past.
Currently this is available on Amazon as a Kindle edition (link to US Amazon site / link to UK Amazon site).
It's great to be a part of the After Dinner Conversation family. I love their approach to short stories, which is to select those that spark debates, and provide tools to facilitate those debates. When I think about the stories I've loved the most over the years, they've often been the ones that've acted as springboards for philosophical discussions / bitter arguments with friends.
Huge thanks to those who commented on early drafts – including Ben, James, and Russell. Even huger thanks to my wife, Emily, for reading half a dozen drafts and joining me in conversation about this story after, before, and during many dinners.

What was it like to run a Perfect Dark fan site in 1999?
I look back at running a Perfect Dark fan site, and speak to one of Perfect Dark's original designers, David Doak, about the evolving significance of online fan content for the games industry.
It took recent articles celebrating the 20 year anniversary of Perfect Dark to jolt my memory back to those times. Perfect Dark was Rare's highly anticipated follow-up to the ground-breaking GoldenEye, both on the Nintendo 64. I was 16 when it was released. I don't remember the game as well as I should, considering that at the time I was running, along with my brother Jake and best friend Alex, what was probably the most popular Perfect Dark fan site in the world.
Alex: "We were fifteen years ahead of the curve on energy-saving dark website themes that offend the eyes."
Previously, I've always left my nostalgia there: a hazy feeling of pride for something created in a time long gone. But this time I've decided to return. I'm using the wonderful Wayback Machine from the Internet Archive to revisit PDark.com in its glory days. I feel like I'm diving down to the depths, to shine a torch around an old sunken wreck.

The Other Franks
New short story! 6000 words; approx 20 minutes to read… (PDF version)
Frank looked at himself in the mirror from a variety of angles, not liking any that he saw. In exasperation he threw off his old, ill-fitting tennis shirt and tried on his ancient Barcelona FC top.
"What do you think about this one?" he asked.
"You look great, honey!" Alice replied, although Frank noticed she hadn't actually taken her eyes off her phone.
"I just don't know whether I should go," Frank said dejectedly, "It feels like it's been a very long time."
"I love going to my reunions, seeing all my girls. Just hanging out, partying, bitching about everyone, karaoke… I'd kill to be allowed to see them more than once a year."
"But it's like I was saying to you, I'm just not sure I… I mean I find myself comparing myself to them and they're all just so much more…"
"Look, honey," Alice said, still not taking her eyes off her phone, "they're not better than you. You're great. Just enjoy it." She looked up at him and all of a sudden her face transformed into the severest of frowns. "Aren't you going to wear a shirt?"
Frank sighed. "I've told you before, nobody wears things like shirts and ties. It's just our tradition." He didn't think he looked that awful, standing there in the mirror in his Barcelona FC top, shorts, white socks and trainers.
Although he was anxious and apprehensive, Frank was proud of himself for going. He was resolved to tell them, finally, after all these years. It was his duty to tell them. Continue reading "The Other Franks"

Afternoon tea with royal hats – Luxury Afternoon Tea at The Berkeley for the Diamond Jubilee
Apr 16, 2012 By jonathan
The 5-star luxury Berkeley hotel in Knightsbridge is celebrating the Queen's Diamond Jubilee by offering visitors a Prêt-à-Portea – The Royal Collection afternoon tea.
The Berkeley's fashion-inspired afternoon tea Prêt-à-Portea showcases the season's fashions in pastries and biscuits. The designs normally change twice a year to coincide with the Spring Summer and Autumn Winter fashion collections.
To mark The Queen's 60th anniversary on the throne, from 29 May to 9 June the hotel's special afternoon tea will include biscuits, fancy cakes and choux buns made to resemble the most memorable hats worn by the Royal Family.
The fashionable edibles will include a praline profiterole inspired by the much-talked-about Philip Treacy fascinator worn by Princess Beatrice at last year's Royal Wedding and a vanilla biscuit with icing and sugar diamonds resembling the crown Queen Elizabeth wore for her coronation in 1953.
There will also be a strawberry pannacotta macaroon made to look like the Canadian maple leaf hat designed by Angela Kelly and worn by Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge when she visited Canada.
It is believed that Elizabeth II has worn more than 5,000 hats since she became Queen in 1952.
Klaus Kabelitz, General Manager at the Berkeley says: 'It is most definitely an exciting year for London and we had to think of a unique way to pay tribute to the Queens's Diamond Jubilee. Our fashion-inspired afternoon tea has always been a favourite with visitors and Londoners alike and we felt this was the perfect way to join in the nationwide celebration in June. The Berkeley is only a stone's throw from Buckingham Palace and I will personally be making a celebratory afternoon tea delivery to mark this special occasion.'
The teas will be served in the Berkeley's Caramel Room and will cost £36.50 per person, or £46.50 with a glass of Laurent Perrier champagne and £53 with a glass of couture champagne.

Organizational Self-Description: The Republican Study Committee (RSC) has served as the conservative caucus of House Republicans and a leading influencer on the Right since its original founding in 1973. It exists to bring like-minded House members together to promote a strong, principled legislative agenda that will limit government, strengthen our national defense, boost America's economy, preserve traditional values and balance our budget.
The RSC provides the tools and research that members of Congress need to craft and advance policies that will benefit the American people. It also provides a forum for like-minded members to join together to support common causes and challenge the status quo. By doing so, the RSC ensures that conservatives have a powerful voice on every issue coming before the House, whether it is the economy, health care, defense, social safety net reform, or Washington's dangerous, out-of-control spending.
We believe that the appropriate role of a limited government is to protect liberty, opportunity, and security, and that it is the responsibility of this generation to preserve them for the next.

Overturn presidential election due to pandemic voting rules.
Justice Fortenberry wrote the Court's decision on Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton: "TX v. PA, GA, MI & WI" on Dec 11, 2020:
Summary of lawsuit, Dec. 7:: The 2020 election suffered from significant and unconstitutional irregularities including:
Michigan's Secretary of State, without legislative approval, unilaterally abrogated [under the pandemic emergency] several statutes requiring signature verification for absentee ballot applications. [Similar in GA, PA, & WI].
Pennsylvania's election law requires that poll-watchers be granted access to the opening, counting, and recording of absentee ballots: Local election officials [in 2 counties] decided not to follow this law.
Georgia state law prohibits the opening of absentee ballots until after the polls open on Election Day: In April 2020, without legislative approval, [a new rule] authorized processing absentee ballots three weeks before Election Day.
The Wisconsin Elections Commission positioned hundreds of drop boxes to collect absentee ballots--including the use of unmanned drop boxes, in contravention of Wisconsin law.
Supreme Court Order, Dec. 11: The State of Texas's motion is denied for lack of standing under Article III of the Constitution. Texas has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another State conducts its elections. All other pending motions are dismissed as moot.
Texas Tribune analysis, Dec. 11:: Trump--and Republicans across the country--had pinned their hopes on the Texas suit. In a series of tweets, Trump called it "the big one" and later added, "it is very strong, ALL CRITERIA MET." If the court had heard the case, Sen. Ted Cruz said he would have argued it, at the request of Trump.
Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas indicated they would have allowed Texas to bring the case but said they would "not grant other relief." In a series of tweets after the ruling, Trump raged against the decision, which he called "a disgraceful miscarriage of justice." Source: Supreme Court case 20-SCOTUS argued on Dec 7, 2020

Medtech company expansion will bring 40 jobs to Galway
by Jenny Darmody
Recruitment is underway and jobs will be in the areas of engineering, quality, manufacturing, customer operations and administration.
Cambus Medical, a medical device company with a manufacturing footprint in Galway, is hiring for highly skilled professionals as part of a €1.9m expansion.
It plans to hire more than 40 professionals in engineering, quality, manufacturing, customer operations and administration.
The expansion will provide extra production and manufacturing space as well as administration offices at the company's current facilities in An Spidéal in Connemara.
This will allow the company to overcome previous capacity limitations, develop new manufacturing capabilities and explore new business opportunities.
Cambus Medical is a Freudenberg Medical joint venture partner and specialises in precision hypotubes, specialty needles and metal micro-component solutions to the medical device industry for minimally invasive medical devices used in diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.
It received a €1.9m support package from Údarás na Gaeltachta at the end of last year to support its expansion plans.

Cambus Medical's CEO, Barry Comerford, said: "The team is delighted with the support from all of our stakeholders: Freudenberg Medical for its support and confidence in us, Údarás na Gaeltachta for investing in the site, and all of our staff for making this a reality."
Dr Max Gisbert Kley, CEO of Freudenberg Medical, added that Cambus Medical has tripled the number of employees at the Galway facility since Freudenberg Medical's first investment in 2013.
"This is a testament to Cambus's strong market position as the technology leader for hypotubes and metal components for medical devices," he said.
Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media Catherine Martin, TD, congratulated the medical device company on the expansion.
"The Cois Fharraige area has seen the announcement of up to 200 jobs in the medical device sector over the past few months, which is proof of what can be achieved on the west coast of Ireland with targeted State support."
Recruitment is already underway at Cambus Medical and current vacancies can be found on the company's website.
This is the second jobs announcement for Galway's life sciences sector in as many weeks. Last week, Loughrea-headquartered Chanelle Pharma announced that it is expanding its manufacturing operations into Ballinasloe, creating 60 new jobs over the next five years.

I found this idea at Elitist Jerks, and in my opinion it's great.
What this thread is aiming for is to make a thread where you can ask almost anything on how to improve your UI.
And do not ask questions like "How can I improve my UI?" or "How can I make my UI look like this?". If you ask those kind of questions you probably won't be getting the answers you're looking for and/or poor responses. Try being specific on what you want help with.
And try including Screenshots, what addons you use that are related to the problem you got.

For several days last semester, record producer Don Was strolled the halls and streets around Berklee with the enthusiasm of a first-semester student. For several upper-semester music production and engineering majors, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get one-on-one feedback from one of the most successful producers of the past 25 years.
For others on campus, there were many opportunities to hear war stories and receive advice from the man who has been producing albums for music greats since the 1970s. He won the Producer of the Year Grammy Award in 1994 and has released several successful albums as coleader of Was (Not Was), an innovative multi-style band with memorable melodies and danceable grooves.
During a break between classes, Was talked for more than an hour about working with Berklee students, the keys to succeeding as a producer, and how he helped create timeless studio recordings with artists like Bonnie Raitt, Willie Nelson, and the Rolling Stones.
Follow the links below to hear some of his comments. There's sage advice and behind-the-scenes stories that will interest everyone from studio vets to passionate music fans.
PART ONE (21:56) – Was talks about working with students and how his parents helped him become the producer he is, among other topics.
PART TWO (23:36) – Listen to clips from a few of the albums Was produced, as he talks about how he and the artists collaborated to get the best results possible.
Part two of the interview with Don Was used clips from the following Was-produced songs:
"Thing Called Love" – Bonnie Raitt
"Nick of Time" – Bonnie Raitt
"American Tune" – Willie Nelson
"Oh No, Not You Again" – The Rolling Stones
"Somewhere in America There's a Street Named After My Dad" – Was (Not Was)

Contactless Meets Contactfull: MasterCard Cuts PayPass Deal With the NY Giants
MasterCard on Monday announced the first trial of its PayPass wristband, pledging to onload (excuse me, give away) the wristbands to the first 5,000 fans entering Giants Stadium for the New York Giants-Indianapolis Colts football game on Sunday. MasterCard's people have painted the giveaway watches with the Giants' team colors and pre-loaded them with $25, all ready to be used at the game's concession stands.
The $25 figure was selected because it's the magic number to avoid the customer having to give a signature and the merchant having to provide a receipt. The irony of pushing contactless for an extreme contact sport was not lost on the MasterCard folk. Maybe their next move will be to offer it to Bausch & Lomb?


Happy Friday guys! :D I hope you're having a terrific Friday so far~ Can you believe it's October already? Welp, neither can I!
Oh, so Kylie is Cain's cousin?
So, was that silver mage abel? or someone else?
Ohhh, I see what's going on here.
Let me clarify: the Holy Capital is a place, not a palace. When Cain told Kylie he was from the Holy Capital she didn't assume he was royalty. :) I hope that makes it less complicated to understand!
More reasons to hate that little snot!
It does seem I've given plenty of reasons for people to really not like Abel, even though he's had so little screentime XD good job, Abel!
And ahahaha seamuffin ;D that's a very good guess!
Leave the Silver Mage Amnesia Mother alone!!!
Illusions come to light, limits break, as the main villain takes center stage.
Mmm, Limit Break X3 it would be a fun exercise to design one (FF-style) for all the characters now that you mention it!
Gotta admit, when I hear limit break, my first thought is the Exalted rpg.
May the ominous gongs ring out!
Though that does bring up the question how he got out of the Holy Capital to do this when no one's allowed to leave. Does his title give him that permission, or did he sneak out for a night of spell-stealing evilness? And I know Ren and co. get to leave, but Abel IS a prince and... wait.
Is Abel sick because of Kylie mama? Did she curse him or something? That would be so cool pleaseletthatbethecasepleaseohplease!
IF this Silver Mage mentioned is Abel (I mean, really, I don't know ;D) then you are correct in thinking that he probably wasn't allowed to leave. :) Maybe that's why he's wearing the standard Holy Capital cloak?
Everything is connected, one way or another... ;D ehehehe!

'Black Panther' Just Keeps Breaking Records
Caleb ReadingTwitterEntertainment Editor
Black Panther (our reviews here and here) has been subverting old tropes and making us add "war rhinoceros" to our genie wishlist, but it's also been consistently shredding box office records. We already knew it has the highest Rotten Tomatoes rating (97%) of all the Marvel Cinematic Universe films, and it's tied with The Incredibles for the highest rating of any superhero film ever. It broke an overseas record before even opening in the US, in addition to garnering the highest IMAX ticket pre-sales for a Marvel movie and the highest ticket pre-sales in general for any superhero movie. It's also the most-tweeted about movie this year, and it surpassed Justice League's entire box office run in only four days. And it turns out Black Panther was just getting started.
Now it's broken even more records. As expected, its $192 million domestic opening weekend beat Deadpool's already-impressive record for a February opening weekend. It blew past the estimates for a $160 million opening and places Black Panther as the biggest opening for an African-American director (Ryan Coogler) and the the fifth largest domestic opening weekend ever. And it continued breaking records even after the weekend.
Its Monday domestic earnings of $40.2 million are the biggest Monday ever, beating Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($40.1 million). Its Tuesday domestic earnings of $21.07 million were the biggest pre-summer Tuesday and beat out the former first place Beauty and the Beast ($17.8 million) and former Marvel first place The Avengers ($17.6 million). Then its Wednesday domestic earnings ($14.5 million) also beat former Marvel first place The Avengers' $13.6 million Wednesday. Black Panther is now expected to crack the half-billion dollar mark worldwide some time this weekend.
All in all, an incredibly respectable showing. And speaking of respectable, Erik Killmonger actor Michael B. Jordan would like some respect on his name:
Where is the lie?

Home / Industry / Media / Sony's slated merger with Viacom18 now called off
Sony's slated merger with Viacom18 now called off
2 min read . Updated: 06 Oct 2020, 07:35 AM IST Lata Jha
The deal did not find favour with Reliance that sees potential in its digital media biz
NEW DELHI : Sony Pictures Network and Viacom18 have abandoned a plan to merge their businesses after discussions that continued for about a year and a half, said two people familiar with the development.
Viacom18 is a 51:49 JV between Reliance-owned Network18 and Viacom. The deal would have given Sony a 74% stake in the merged entity.

The change in plans comes as digital media and entertainment emerge as cornerstones of Reliance Jio's business with media consumption, particularly on digital platforms, surging with people spending more time at home during the pandemic.
The news was first reported by The Economic Times on Monday.
Spokespersons at Sony and Reliance Jio did not respond to emailed queries.
"There were some challenges on valuation and Viacom frowning upon some merger clauses," said one of the people cited above. Consequently, the deal did not seem to find favour with Reliance that now sees immense potential in its digital media business, especially with the introduction of the fibre-to-home strategy that provides access to 12 OTT (over-the-top) streaming apps including Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ Hotstar, JioCinema, Zee5, Sony Liv, VOOT and Alt Balaji.
"Further, Reliance is in a much different place now than it was a year-and-a-half ago," an analyst said on condition of anonymity referring to the range of investments Reliance Industries has attracted over the past few months from US private equity firm Silver Lake, General Atlantic, KKR and Abu Dhabi-based sovereign wealth fund Mubadala Investment Co. The initial synergy between the two companies reportedly stemmed from two factors. First, giving Reliance greater control over the Indian entertainment ecosystem and helping it keep the content pipeline going for its distribution networks of DEN and Hathway, both cable service providers, and its broadband and internet service JioFiber. Second, from the portfolio of TV channels that Viacom owns, particularly in the Hindi GEC (general entertainment channel), regional and kids segments that Sony, in itself, isn't particularly strong. Viacom includes channels such as Colors in various languages, MTV and Nickelodeon.
Media industry experts had earlier pointed out that Sony's overall TV performance is very seasonal. Its marquee TV shows, like Kaun Banega Crorepati, for instance, come once a year and its attempts to venture into the regional TV space, too, haven't really materialized. It had come close to acquiring a stake in both Eenadu TV and MAA TV, a bouquet of Telugu channels in 2013. A partnership with RIL would have helped it fill in critical gaps through Viacom's large bouquet of entertainment channels in eight regional languages apart from giving it an important ally to scale its sports business in the future.
Besides television, the other synergy could have been on the two video streaming platforms owned by Sony and Viacom18, SonyLIV and VOOT. Both, media experts said, would have been able to stand up to the might of American players such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Video as well as Disney+ Hotstar.
"A lot has changed for Reliance during covid and it probably doesn't need Sony as much," said the analyst mentioned above.

Brick foundations are usually seen in older homes. It is no longer cost effective to install brick foundations and this type of foundation is often not as durable compared to other modern installations such as poured concrete or cement block. A brick foundation is installed in much the same way that a solid brick house is built except it is below grade and should rest on a solid footing. It is not uncommon however that some of these foundations were not placed on footings and now may be settled badly. Brick foundations are inspected carefully for the particular defects that they are prone to such as, settling, water seepage and deterioration of the bricks themselves. Many brick foundations have been sealed with wire lathe and cement stucco giving them a look of a poured concrete foundation.

before you find a less appealing aspect to limit me with.
But I'm a diamond of poetry–multi-faceted, having various sides.

Illustrations of The Lord of the Rings in Russian Iconography Style (1993)
in Art, Books, Literature | June 4th, 2014 3 Comments
Given the detail with which J.R.R. Tolkien describes his fantastical yet earthily grounded characters and landscapes, you'd think illustrators would have an easy time putting pictures to the words. You might even assume that any artist who tried his or her hand at the job would produce more or less the same visual interpretation. And yet the history of illustrated editions of The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings trilogy hasn't gone that way at all. Different publishers at different times and different places have commissioned very stylistically different things. We have shown you examples of Tolkien's Personal Book Cover Designs for The Lord of the Rings Trilogy as well as what Where the Wild Things Are author Maurice Sendak could come up with. And, in March, we featured a playfully visualized Soviet LOTR edition from 1976. Now, take a look at the large set of images here, pulled from a 1993 edition illustrated by Sergey Yuhimov (more information, albeit in Russian, here and here), and you'll get the sense that the Russians may have a knack for visualizing the goings-on of Middle-Earth.
Still, the illustrations from Russia's Hobbit and almost 30-years-newer Lord of the Rings could hardly share less of a sensibility. A Metafilter post on the latter draw a number of attempted descriptions by Tolkien fans: "LOTR translated almost as Christian iconography." "They leap around about 1000 years of art history." "Mad, but also charming." "They would make great tarot cards."
Objections may arise to the accuracy of the characters portrayed — as always — as well as the artist's adherence (or lack thereof) to the traits of one period of art or another, but we can hardly ignore what an aesthetic impact these illustrations make even just on first glance. Some of the Metafilter commenters express their wishes for The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn ("used in Russian primary school curricula, or was during the Communist era") illustrated this way, or maybe a Lord of the Rings "in the style of Hieronymus Bosch." But from these vivid, stylistically Medieval, religious-icon-saturated images, I personally take away one conclusion: when the idea first came to find a director to bring Tolkien to the screen, they really should've hired Andrei Tarkovsky.
You can see a gallery of images in four parts: Part 1 – Part 2, Part 3, Part 4.
Our thanks go to @zeljka8 for helping find background information for these illustrations.

Those ilustrations, like that, make the Middle-Earth sound not a place in time, as a wonder but a place in space as a reality *-* A big thank you Collin Marshall for this post, and of course, all the others ^^
Tim Fisher says:
These are far from anything like Russian iconographic style… They are more Celtic illuminations or Western Medieval or even Armenian in style!
Fsh furniture says:
Quality L shape sofa can last for many years. Choose a sofa with a high-quality brand. Look for sofas made from solid wood rather than plastic or particleboard. You should also check for extra-strength materials in the frame. Sofa cushions should be comfortable, and the seams should not sag under your weight.

Oasis opens community's only park, soccer field
Anna Rumer
The Desert Sun
Dozens of eastern Coachella Valley kids christened freshly laid turf and newly installed soccer goals with passes, chips and kicks Thursday evening as the only park in the community of Oasis was officially opened to the public.
The new park, located on the site of a former Coachella Valley Unified School District building at 88-775 Ave. 76, was constructed by the Desert Recreation District as part of a plan to create at least 15 acres of community space in Oasis using donations and grant funding.
Will overtime pay for farmworkers destroy the Coachella Valley's grape industry?
The unincorporated community is home to about 7,000 people, 99 percent of whom make less than the California median salary of $48,000 a year. Opportunities can be slim in the rural areas of the east valley, community organizers say, especially when it comes to safe and free outdoor activities.
Olivia Rodriguez is a youth participant with the Kounkuey Design Initiative, a nonprofit that works with underserved communities to improve the quality of life. As a Thermal native, Rodriguez said she knows how much of an impact this park will have on Oasis kids.
"Personally, growing up in Thermal ... I've seen and experienced that there's not many places to even have a walk outside," she said. "There's no lights, no fields that are in condition for any children or adults to go exercise or play soccer or basketball in. ... It kind of opens up opportunities to have a safe space in the community."
The 5-acre park and soccer field opened Thursday is the first major milestone for the Desert Recreation District and Kounkuey Design Initiative after the district first acquired the plot of land from Coachella Valley Unified in 2015.
"This has been a long time coming," Desert Recreation District General Manager Kevin Kalman said. "It's taken a lot of partners to get to where we're at ... to transform this once unsafe and unusable space into a valuable community resource again."
Kalman thanked Riverside County Supervisor John Benoit, Indio Councilman and district employee Troy Strange, Assemblyman Eduardo Garcia and Congressman Raul Ruiz, all of whom attended the opening, for their support in obtaining funding and moving the project forward.
Sylvia Paz, the district's board vice president, congratulated the community on realizing its own power and taking the desire for more outdoor space into their own hands.
"Imagine where we would be if as an individual we thought that having a park in Oasis was impossible," she said. "There's no development in Oasis, how could we have a park? There could have been a lot of limitations."
Developing the remaining 10 acres of space is up to the community, Rodriguez said, and where Kounkuey Design Initiative comes in with an upcoming canvassing and survey effort.
California will spend $80 million on the Salton Sea. The lake's looming problems will require much more.
"The way we want to approach the expansion of a park or community park here in Oasis is by engaging more with the community," she said, "finding out their stories and what they're interested in having so we can work with KDI and other community partners to build something hopefully build something the community envisions."
Kounkuey Design Initiative Planning Coordinator Monique Lopez said within the next few weeks, the organization will canvass areas such as the park with surveys, hoping to capture the passions and talents of the residents in order to create "a space where community members can show their best selves and be their best selves as well."
"It's a great opportunity for the community to get involved," Lopez continued, "to have their voice and have their stories heard as to what makes Oasis unique, what makes Oasis a place they call home."
Eduardo Garcia proposes $3 billion California parks bond for November ballot

Study Connection begins 22nd year
Record Number: 6584
Displayed from: Sep 08, 2010	, until: Sep 24, 2010
Back to Headline News
Study Connection will kick off its 22nd year of helping students with its Annual Celebration and Recognition Breakfast Friday, Sept. 10. This year's keynote speaker is Manuel Scott, one of the original Freedom Writers, a group of students on which the 2007 movie "Freedom Writers" was based. Scott was a high school dropout who had been written off and was considered "unteachable" until an English teacher found a way to reach him and his classmates through books, such as, "The Diary of Anne Frank." He and his classmates started writing about their struggles, which were eventually compiled into the book, "The Freedom Writers Diary." Scott now spends much of his time sharing his story and how he turned his life around. In addition to sharing his story at the Study Connection breakfast on Friday, Scott will speak to students at Ward Education Center, 3501 Warsaw St., at 9:30 a.m. and South Side High School at 10:45 a.m. Study Connection began in 1989, founded by Don Wolf, retired CEO and president emeritus of Do it Best Corp. In the last two decades an estimated 10,000 students have gone through the program. Volunteers are matched one-to-one with FWCS students who need academic assistance. Students and volunteers meet weekly after school for one hour during the school year with 79 percent of the students bused to and from local businesses for their tutoring sessions. This not only gives students a chance to receive some extra homework help, but also meet a mentor in the community and learn about local career opportunities. Study Connection has been replicated in other cities across the nation, including Clinton, Iowa, where the Governor recognized it as the 2000 Volunteer Program of the Year. In 2007, Study Connection received the Indiana Youth Institute Award for investing in youth. The Study Connection breakfast begins at 7:30 a.m. Friday at Ceruti's, 6601 Innovation Blvd. Attendance at the breakfast is by invitation only. Media are invited to cover the event.
With nearly 30,000 students, Fort Wayne Community Schools is one of the largest school districts in Indiana. FWCS proudly allows families to choose any of its 50 schools through its successful school-choice program creating diversity in each school, including some with more than 75 languages spoken. FWCS offers seven magnet schools focusing on areas such as science and math, communication, fine arts or Montessori at the elementary and middle school level. In high school, students can choose from the prestigious International Baccalaureate program, Project Lead the Way or New Tech Academy as well as other rigorous academic and specialty training programs.

Nine soldiers and one civilian die after a gun battle at a military complex.
Meanwhile, an armed group disguised as soldiers raided a prison complex in Davao del Norte province, seizing more than 100 rifles, shotguns and pistols from its armoury.
No shots were fired in the attack on Sunday.
Andres Caro, a Philippines' police chief, said that about 30 people, some wearing camouflage uniforms with the insignia of a regional military anti-terror unit, disarmed four guards and took the weapons from the prison armoury, before escaping in five vans.
A number of groups are active against the government in the southern Philippines, including the communist New People's Army and Abu Sayyaf, an armed group formed in the early 1990s and responsible for a number of bombings and kidnappings.
Since August, nearly 10,000 soldiers in the southern Philippines have been battling the Abu Sayyaf.
Dozens of troops have been killed and more than 100 wounded in the fighting, which has also displaced thousands of villagers.
