Zayn Malik's "First Solo Track" Released, Taken down Less than a Day After It Was Shared on Twitter

Zayn Malik, 22, now officially a former member of the boy band One Direction, reportedly teamed up with English producer and songwriter Naughty Boy, whose real name is Shahid Khan, on the new track, I Won't Mind, which was released on SoundCloud on Tuesday. Naughty Boy posted on Twitter a link to the track with the words "let the music do the talking." Hours later, the track on SoundCloud is no longer available, but it included the caption: "There is nothing but love for what was left behind. That's why we don't mind. ;) #zaughty #zinabad."
As gathered by BBC News, Naughty Boy tweeted about the song hours after an argument with Zayn Malik's former One Direction bandmate Louis Tomlinson who accused the producer of "trying to wind the fans up" after he retweeted a video saying "Zaughty will rise," a reference to him now working with Zayn. Tomlinson responded with a tweet that reads: "Wow @NaughtyBoyMusic you're so inconsiderate pal, seriously how old are you? Grow up! #masterofallwisdom." Naughty Boy's next tweet with the link to the I Won't Mind demo was apparently wrongly taken by fans as Zayn's first solo single.
In fact, as learned by Daily Mail, the track I Won't Mind is an old song which was recorded for but ultimately did not make it on to One Direction's last album "FOUR." Quoting an unnamed insider, the news site wrote: "'It's important fans know this isn't a solo Zayn song or even representative of material he might record in the future. If you listen to the track it is clearly a song written with One Direction in mind for their last album. It's not new, nor is it a Zayn Malik solo track." Naughty Boy later removed the track from the web following the backlash from the One Direction fans who misunderstood his tweets to Tomlinson.
Malik signed off from the group during the Asian leg of their "On the Road Again" concert tour. The last time he performed with One Direction was at their March 18 show at the AsiaWorld Arena in Hong Kong. He was no longer with them when they left for Manila for their scheduled concert at the SM Mall of Asia. Instead, he enplaned back to the UK in an effort to save his long-running relationship with his fiancee, Perrie Edwards, after photos of him apparently getting intimate with another woman in a Thailand nightclub surfaced on the tabloids and the Internet.

För begreppet inom korruption, se kickback och muta.
Kickback, är ett franskt hardcore-band från Paris, startat 1991 av Stephen Bessac, Fabrice Fortin och Patrick Vandewalle.

Deras första demo, The Meaning of Pain kom ut i slutet av 1991 och följdes av EP:n No One Gets Out Alive. Därefter har de gett ut 4 album: Cornered, Forever War, Les 150 passions meurtrières samt No Surrender.

Bandets musik är starkt influerad av New York-hardcore, men också av andra musikstilar som thrash metal, black metal och även i viss mån hiphop. De är kända för att aldrig kompromissa och för sin relativt "negativa" attityd.

I like BTS more than I am willing to admit. They are up there with Block B but not past B.A.P, y'know?
Anywho, even though I was aware that they released "Dope," I kinda stayed away from it at first because "Danger" just slayed me last year, and this song is no different.
Everything is on point in the video as well as the song, there's nothing I would change.

A thing about going to a gig
Yesterday afternoon, I went to a goddaughter's first birthday where loads of miniature humans wandered about chewing egg sandwiches and licking each other's faces.
Then I went to Alexandra Palace for a gig where loads of slack-eyed, twenty-something adults danced in front of me, clutching their water bottles while also licking one another's faces and hugging every five seconds. Drugs make you do all sorts of weird things. One of their group, a sweaty chap directly in front of me, wore the balloon hat above.
Anyway, the gig was excellent. It was Parov Stelar, a mainly Austrian group who play electro swing – electro music combined with an outrageous saxophonist, some terrific tromboning and a female singer who shimmied on stage like an epileptic for two hours straight last night.
'I told a friend we were playing in London this week and he said 'London? That's the capital of music!" shouted Marcus the DJ at one point. He probably says that to everyone ('Brussels! You're the capital of music!'), but the group off their tits in front of me love it and started licking one another and hugging even more enthusiastically.
Basically, it's the sort of jazzy music that you can't hear without immediately shaking your hips a bit. I promise – and I speak as one who dances like a baby elephant. Google 'Parov Stelar' and 'Booty Swing' right now and you'll see.

State of Place is starting an Urban Data Geeks Lab!
We're excited to announce the launch of the State of Place Urban Data Geeks Lab! Our goal is to use State of Place - a robust, objective measure of built environment quality - to further connect the research and practice communities, as well as offer up access to our growing micro-scale built environment database (over 7000+ blocks, across 5 countries, 21 states, 93 cities, and 176 neighborhoods, and counting).
To kick off this initiative, we're holding to a 45-min webinar on Thursday, June 15th at 3:30 PM EST, to give the research community an opportunity to learn more about how to integrate State of Place into urban research and classrooms.
As you may know, State of Place was developed (in 2010) to address the lack of a comprehensive framework by which to analyze the widely-used Irvine Minnesota Inventory. To date, a variety of academic and think tanks, including the Brookings Institution, USC, UCI, UC Berkeley, ASU, Lancaster University, Preservation Green Lab, the Conservation Law Foundation, and others have used State of Place to investigate the links between urban design and health, physical activity, economic development, sense of community, attachment, well-being, and other quality of life factors. It has also been used by urban planning students at NYU, VT, PSU, GWU, GMU, UIC, University of Michigan, and East China Normal University in Shanghai.
We've wanted to do this for some time, but now that State of Place has been converted into a software, we are able to process data instantaneously, and would like to ramp up its adoption and implementation both as a research and teaching tool by offering it at little to no cost to the academic community, and while we're at it, start a little urban data geeks army (ahem, lab!)!
How to integrate State of Place into service learning initiatives, capstone/thesis projects, ongoing or future research, and more!
We are excited to learn more about your urban-related research and courses, and we would love to help you further enhance your amazing work! We hope you'll join us for this 45-minute demo and Q&A session!

Retirement Village Guide
Find Retirement Villages Near You
Where to find the best retirement villages near you
Simon Beasor
Want to know where the best retirement village is near you? No problem. We cover a variety of retirement schemes across the UK.
In our accompanying articles, we have already covered numerous aspects of Retirement Villages (visit the main Retirement & Downsizing hub to view more).
But where can you find your new home and how do you go about finding the right retirement village near you?
There are hundreds of senior living schemes available right across the UK, with something to suit everyone, whatever it is you are looking for. There are developments in all parts of the country, from retirement villages in Yorkshire to retirement villages in Devon and Cornwall.

And with a host of different facilities to make the most of your retirement, along with a range of care levels ensures you'll always be looked after any time while maintaining an independent lifestyle.
Retirement village companies
Most retirement villages in Britain are operated by groups with a number of different locations on offer. The best way to learn about these is to visit their website. Not only will this tell you everything you need to know about each village, it will also give you a good idea of the ethos and approach of the company behind the properties.
Different companies have different approaches, with some going for all-out luxury, while others take a more value for money approach. Some are even charity based, such as Anchor and the Extra Care Charitable Trust.
There are a number of companies operating in the UK retirement village market. To give you a sense of what's on offer, let's take a look at a few of the larger players and what they have to offer. (Please note, Yes! Homebuyers has no links with any of these companies, and this retirement village review is presented for information only).

Award winning retirement villages
If you are looking for an independent recommendation, the WhatHouse? Awards are a good place to start. They named Churchill Retirement Living as Housebuilder of the Year in 2016, not only in the retirement sector, but overall, beating major companies such as Redrow and Barratt. At the same awards, Audley also picked up two golds and a bronze.
WhatHouse has named its five best retirement villages in the UK, featuring properties from several of the major players.
The complete list includes:
Cooper's Hill, Surrey from Audley
Hampshire Lakes from Anchor
Gittisham Hill Park from Retirement Villages
Durrants Village, West Sussex from Renaissance Villages,
The Croft, Lincolnshire from Larkfleet Homes
Even if you don't want to live in any of those locations it may be worth having a browse of those links - to see the very best that Retirement Village Living has to offer.
Industry assurance
For added reassurance, you can choose retirement village companies that are registered with the industry body, the Associated Retirement Community Operators (ARCO). This has a database of registered schemes, and most of the major retirement village providers are part of the organisation.
However, membership is not compulsory, and does not necessarily mean that a registered company is any better, or more trustworthy, than one that is not registered with ARCO.
ARCO has 329 registered schemes in the UK, including retirement villages in Wales and retirement villages in Scotland. They list 97 retirement villages in the South East and 48 in the South West along with 66 Midlands retirement villages and 117 retirement villages in the North of England (18 in the North east, 63 in the North West and 36 in Yorkshire / Derbyshire).
Throughout this article we have provided links to the different retirement village companies and individual locations, and it is worth spending time online browsing them all. Choosing the right retirement village near you is a major decision and you need to consider all the options, even though there are a great many to look at.
To make it easier, most of the sites have videos online to give you a flavour of the village, and if you prefer a hard copy, you can always request a brochure to be posted out to you.
Remember, at the end of the day there's no rush to make your choice, because you can get moving straight away as soon as you have decided with a quick house sale to Yes Homebuyers. We can offer on your home quickly, and then tie the completion date in with your move to your new home. It's the smoothest, easiest way to move.

Patty Andrews dies at 94; Andrews Sisters' last surviving member
By Rebecca Trounson, Los Angeles Times
They were the swinging, sassy voice of the homefront for U.S. service personnel overseas during World War II, singing catchy hit tunes such as "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" and "Rum and Coca Cola" that delighted Americans and catapulted the Andrews Sisters to the very top of the pop charts.
One of the most successful female recording groups in pop history, the sisters — LaVerne, Maxene and Patty Andrews — became a beloved American institution, lifting the nation's spirits during a conflict whose outcome seemed often in doubt.
When the war ended in 1945, it was even the Andrews Sisters who announced it, to 5,000 GI's during a USO concert in Italy as the men were heading for duty in the Pacific. The troops' commanding officer had interrupted the show, handing the women a note that was read aloud by the youngest, Patty Andrews.
"At first there was dead silence," her sister Maxene told The Times years later. "Then Patty repeated the message. 'This is really true,' she told them, and then she started to cry. Suddenly there was a roar. They knew they would be going home, and they did."
Patty Andrews, the group's lead singer and its last surviving member, died Wednesday of natural causes at her longtime home in Northridge, according to her attorney, Richard Rosenthal. She was 94. Maxene, the middle Andrews sister, died in 1995 and LaVerne, the eldest, in 1967.
The Andrews Sisters began singing professionally in 1932, when Patty was just 14, and scored their first major success in 1938 with an English version of the Yiddish song "Bei Mir Bist du Schoen" (or "To me, you're grand," as the sisters put it.) The song zoomed to No. 1 and made them overnight stars.
Known for their close, three-part harmonies, full-throated delivery and humor on stage, they churned out hit after hit, including "Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree," "Beer Barrel Polka," "Hold Tight, Hold Tight," "Beat Me Daddy, Eight to the Bar," "Rhumboogie," "Shoo-Shoo Baby," "Strip Polka," and "I Can Dream, Can't I?"
Two of their biggest wartime singles were the Caribbean-influenced "Rum and Coca Cola" and "I'll Be With You in Apple Blossom Time," one of their rare ballads.
From 1938 to 1951, they had 19 gold records, dozens of top 10 singles and record sales of nearly 100 million. They performed and recorded with the biggest stars of their day, among them Bing Crosby, Al Jolson, Danny Kaye, Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman and Carmen Miranda.
They appeared as themselves in more than a dozen movies, including the Abbott and Costello comedies "Buck Privates" and "In the Navy," both released in 1941, and the Bob Hope, Bing Crosby and Dorothy Lamour film "Road to Rio" in 1947.
They appeared at war bond rallies at home and entertained the troops overseas, becoming synonymous with the war effort.
"Looking back nostalgically at the war years, three memories come immediately to mind: Eagles, flags and the Andrews Sisters," journalist Rex Reed told the Toronto Star in 1992. "LaVerne sang low, Maxene sang high, and Patty was the bouncy blond in the middle, singing and swaying to the melody."
In 1973, long after their music had faded from the scene, the Andrews Sisters enjoyed a remarkable resurgence with the release of Bette Midler's version of "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy," which brought them to the attention of a new generation of fans.
The following year, the two surviving Andrews sisters were a hit all over again, starring on Broadway in the nostalgic World War II musical "Over Here." It ran for a year.
Patricia Marie Andrews was born in Mound, Minn., near Minneapolis, on Feb. 16, 1918, to Olga, a Norwegian American, and Peter Andrews, a Greek immigrant. She and her sisters were junior high dropouts who went on the road in the early 1930s when their father's business foundered, playing in the roadhouses and on the vaudeville stages of the Midwest to help support their family.
They eventually made their way to New York, where an executive at Decca Records offered them a contract to make four singles at $50 apiece. One of the four was "Nice Work if You Can Get It," which went nowhere. But on the flip side was "Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen," which launched them to stardom.
But the sisters' close musical harmonies belied a private relationship that was often troubled, culminating in a falling out between Patty and Maxene that lasted more than 20 years. Music industry insiders blamed it on a dispute between Maxene and Patty's husband, Walter Weschler, the group's conductor and arranger, who died in 2010.
Although the sisters lived near each other in the San Fernando Valley, according to published reports, they spoke rarely and saw each other just twice from 1974 to Maxene's death in 1995: when Patty paid a bedside visit to her sister in 1982 after Maxene suffered a heart attack, and in 1987, when they were together at the public dedication of their star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
That year, the two spoke of the feud in separate interviews with The Times.
Maxene Andrews said it may simply have been the result of too many years of working so closely together. "There was really no breathing room ... ," she said. "We ate together, slept together, went out socially together. If we were going someplace, we got in the car together.... You can see how glued we were. There had to be a breaking point."
Patty Andrews was less willing to speak about the issue, but said her sister was just jealous. "Ever since I was born, Maxene has been a problem, and that problem hasn't stopped," she said, but declined to discuss the matter further.
"I'm not going to do anything or say anything to destroy that image that the people love," she said. "I hear that from the people that they love the Andrews Sisters and it's a joy to them. Who am I to take that away?"
Patty Andrews' first marriage, to agent Martin Melcher, ended in divorce in 1950 after he left her for Doris Day. She married Weschler in 1951 and they remained married until his death. She had no immediate survivors.

Mrs. Annette L. Brooke (Mid-Dorset and North Poole): I wish to thank everyone who has served during the Bill's passage, which has been a great pleasure. I had one question at the end of Third Reading and I hope that someone will be tolerant enough to answer it. What accountability will there be for the fines imposed by accredited safety officers? Where will the money go? How will the chain of accountability work between various employers in the public and private sectors—including a halfway house or a housing association—and the respective police authority?
Mr. Denham: I apologise to the House for temporarily stepping outside for a moment, but I have been briefed on the issues that were raised. I am grateful to the hon. Member for South-East Cambridgeshire (Mr. Paice) and, in particular, the hon. Member for Surrey Heath (Mr. Hawkins). I am sure that the hon. Member for Southwark, North and Bermondsey (Simon Hughes) will not mind if I congratulate his hon. Friend the hon. Member for Lewes (Norman Baker) and the hon. Member for Mid-Dorset and North Poole (Mrs. Brooke) on their constructive role in the Bill's passage.
I do not want to over-rehearse the arguments, as I could do were I to respond to talk of a "final climbdown". I seem to remember that, six months ago, the Conservative party said that there were no circumstances whatever in which this type of interference could be justified. Now we find that the point has been conceded.
We have found a sensible way to address effectively the small number of cases where those responsible locally for ensuring that we have good policing have failed to do so. That is the defence against the argument—which I refute utterly—that asserts that we have been responsible for trying to undermine the tripartite arrangements. We are great believers in that arrangement as a balance between the Home Secretary, police authorities and chief
24 Jul 2002 : Column 1064
officers. The importance that we attach to the relationship should not blind us to the possibility of circumstances where one or more legs of the arrangements fails. In those circumstances, the public—who, after all, the relationship is there to serve—must be protected.
That part of the Bill has attracted the most attention during its passage. Interestingly, it will be used far less than other parts of the Bill that received less attention and which will have a greater effect in raising standards. If we have to use the power, it can only be because the other things that we have set in place, on which there has been agreement, have failed.
Mr. Paice: I do not wish to take issue with anything that the Minister has said. I want to place on record that I was briefed as to why it was necessary for him to leave the Chamber. I think that it is a tribute to his dedication that he came back in to reply to the debate, which, in my view, was unnecessary. I pay tribute to him for showing such commitment to the House.
Mr. Denham: I am very grateful to the hon. Gentleman, whose remarks are very much appreciated.
We are bringing discussions on this Bill to a close. There is a real commitment among those who have participated in the debates to support the police in serving communities up and down this country. We have provided a Bill that will support the police as they do their job. I am grateful to everyone who has participated.
Simon Hughes: I endorse the comments of the hon. Member for South-East Cambridgeshire (Mr. Paice), and I am grateful to the Minister. Before the Minister utters the final words on the Bill in this House, will he answer my hon. Friend the Member for Mid-Dorset and North Poole (Mrs. Brooke), who deserves an answer for her persistence? Her question is a good one that is relevant to the matter being debated. If he cannot answer now, will he promise that she will be answered before he goes on holiday? If so, we will go away even happier than we might otherwise have done.
Mr. Denham: I am in the odd position, as sometimes happens with Ministers, of having in front me an answer for which I cannot locate the question. With that in mind, it is probably better if I write to the hon. Lady, as the hon. Gentleman suggested.
Lords amendment agreed to.
Subsequent Lords amendments agreed to.
Mobile Telephones (Re-Programming) Bill [Lords]
Considered in Committee.
[Sir Michael Lord in the Chair]
Re-programming mobile telephone etc.
Norman Baker (Lewes): I beg to move amendment No. 1, page 1, line 2, after "if", insert—
'personally or through an agent and whether in the United Kingdom or abroad'.
With due respect to the Bill, which is important, we have reached the fag end of this parliamentary Session, so I shall not delay the House for very long. I suspect that I would become deeply unpopular if I were to do so on this occasion.
The Minister will know that, on Second Reading on Monday, I said that there was strong support for the Bill among Members on both sides of the House and that there was no dispute about what the Government were trying to achieve. However, Members were concerned that, unless the Bill could be enforced more widely, it would lose some of its effectiveness.
The Bill would not curtail the big fish who are making multi-million pound sums from sending phones abroad for re-programming. They could simply circumvent the Bill by moving their activities abroad and bringing the phones back; as a consequence, they would carry on regardless. The Bill would pick up the small fry—the youths or others engaged in this activity—but not the big fish. The Government, to their credit, have sought to try to pick up the big fish, not just under this Bill but under the Proceeds of Crime Bill that we debated earlier.
The amendment is an attempt to ensure that the seriousness of the issue is not neglected and that the Government pursue thoroughly contact and discussions with their EU counterparts to find a way of ensuring that people simply cannot disappear to another EU country and re-programme phones. Two days ago, I gave the example of people in Northern Ireland—where the law is meant to apply, should it be passed—who simply cross the border to the Republic, where they are beyond the jurisdiction of the Bill. It is not simply about the EU; we need an international agreement.
I hope that the Minister has sympathy for the amendment. He may find reasons why he cannot accept it—I shall not lose any sleep if that is his view—but I hope he understands that we feel strongly that it is in the interests of the Bill, which we support. We must ensure that people engaged in this activity—a multi-million pound fraud—are stopped in their tracks. We do not want them to circumvent the Bill. If he cannot accept the amendment, I hope that the Minister will identify ways in which he is seeking to deal with the loophole.
Mr. Dominic Grieve (Beaconsfield): I have to tell the hon. Member for Lewes (Norman Baker) that before the Committee stage of the Bill I went to the Library to see whether it could be improved. I read what was said in the other place in Committee and I have to inform the hon.
Gentleman that, in my view, there was little more that could be done to improve the Bill, although there is one matter that I shall raise in due course.
The scope of the amendment is hair-raising. If the House were to accept it, we would be legislating on unique device identifiers on behalf of the entire world. I know that at times a certain degree of megalomania prevails in this Chamber, but it would take our powers too far to criminalise the actions of those living in Borneo, the Fiji islands, central Africa or wherever else, by saying that they have no right to tamper with a unique device identifier, even if the laws of their country say that that is acceptable, so that the moment they stepped off an aeroplane on a visit to the UK the hon. Gentleman could whiz off to a magistrate and insist on the issuing of an arrest warrant. I hope that the Minister will reject the amendment in short order.
The Minister for Policing, Crime Reduction and Community Safety (Mr. John Denham): The hon. Member for Lewes (Norman Baker) anticipated that I might find reasons not to accept his amendment, which suggests that I have form on these matters. I am grateful to the hon. Member for Beaconsfield (Mr. Grieve) for his comments. This is a short Bill, but it has been worked on by my officials, by the mobile phone industry and by the police who will be responsible for enforcing it. Much work has gone into getting the drafting right.
The amendment would add the words "through an agent" to the Bill. Of course, anyone who personally carries out reprogramming in the United Kingdom would commit an offence under clause 1. We believe that this will have a deterrent effect on those who would carry out that work, whether or not they were acting as an agent for someone else. If a person asks another, his agent, to carry out reprogramming, depending upon the precise circumstances of the case, he will be guilty of one of the offences of aiding, abetting, counselling or procuring the offence of reprogramming a mobile phone. The punishment for that is identical to that for the main offence under the Bill. Furthermore, if the person asking an agent to carry out the reprogramming supplied the equipment for that purpose, he would be committing an offence under clause 2. The words suggested in the amendment are unnecessary.
The hon. Member for Beaconsfield was right about international enforcement. On Second Reading, the Member for Lewes made a legitimate point about the international trade—and I agree with him—but the Bill cannot be used to tackle that. It would be a very big step to extend the jurisdiction of courts in the United Kingdom to cover reprogramming when it is carried out abroad. Some very serious offences—such as piracy and aircraft hijacking—can be tried in the United Kingdom wherever they occur and whatever the nationality of the ship or aircraft, or defendants. Other offences may be tried in the United Kingdom if the defendant is a British citizen or resident. Those include murder and manslaughter on land, bigamy, offences under the Official Secrets Act 1911 and, under the War Crimes Act 1991, offences of murder committed in Germany or in German occupied areas during the second world war. The Sex Offenders Act 1997 also dealt with sex tourism by making it an offence in the UK to commit certain serious sexual offences abroad that involve young children.
It should take nothing away from the importance that I attach to the Bill to say that mobile phone reprogramming does not fall into the same category as the other offences that have international jurisdiction. Moreover, the hon. Gentleman omitted to include the usual safeguards that are put in place when extending jurisdiction. It does not, for example, limit proceedings to British citizens or residents and it does not require the conduct to be an offence under the laws of the foreign state.
I must resist the amendment, but we need to build on what we have done. As I said on Second Reading, my officials are involved in discussions about how our work can be replicated as best practice across the European Union. The hon. Gentleman mentioned Ireland, with which we share a land border, and we will have discussions with the Dublin Government to seek ways forward. It is important to tackle this as an international problem, but I invite the House to resist the amendment.


SAVAGE, Sir JOHN (d. 1492), politician and soldier, was son of Sir John Savage (1422–1495) of Clifton, by Katherine, daughter of Thomas, lord Stanley, and sister of Thomas Stanley, first earl of Derby [q. v.] Thomas Savage (d. 1507) [q. v.], archbishop of York, was his brother. John Savage, junior, as he was usually styled, was created a knight of the Bath by Edward IV on the occasion of his queen's coronation on 26 May 1465 (Letters and Papers illustrative of the Wars of the English in France under Henry VI, ed. Stevenson, Rolls Ser. ii. ). On 17 April 1483, as a knight of the royal body, he was one of those selected to bear Edward's body into Westminster Abbey (Letters and Papers illustrative of the Reigns of Richard III and Henry VII, ed. Gairdner, Rolls Ser. i. 5, 8). Savage was mayor of Chester in 1484 and 1485, and in the former year was made a freeman of the city, with eight of his brothers.


On showing up. — Cole Schafer.
They say half the battle is showing up. I would say 90% of the battle is showing up. Today, everyone wants to be successful, but they don't want to put in the work to be successful.
Everyone wants to be a photographer. They will go out and buy a camera and take a few pictures. But, when they find out photography is more than just taking pictures and that it requires deliberate practice to develop an eye for the art of picture taking… well, you don't see them carrying the camera around anymore.
Everyone wants to be a writer. They will go out and buy a domain, build a website and rattle off a few blogs. But when they find out writing is more than just throwing words on paper and that it requires the discipline to pick up the pen every day to become decent… well, you don't see any more blog posts out of them.
Everyone wants to be an entrepreneur. They will boast to the world about how grand their business idea is and dream about how much money they are going to make. But when they find out building a business is more than just talk and that it requires an extraordinary amount of discomfort, rejection and loneliness… well, you don't see them talking much about entrepreneurship anymore.
The vast majority of people are quitters. This is unfortunate for them, but an opportunity to anyone willing to show up every day and put in the work.
If 100,000 people want to become a professional photographer tomorrow, 25,000 of them will drop out after seeing how expensive a camera is.
Out of the 75,000 people who buy a camera, another 25,000 people will call it quits after discovering how difficult it is to operate a camera.
Out of the 50,000 people who stuck around and took the time to learn the camera and put in the practice, another 25,000 of them will leave the race after receiving their first bit of criticism.
This means after the first year, if you showed up every day to become a better photographer, you have already beat out 75% of the competition.
And by year three, there will only be 1,000 of the original 100,000 wannabe photographers left that can actually call themselves professional photographers.
In other words, if you want to become a professional photographer, show up every day for three years –– if you do this there is a good chance you will find some level of success.
But here is the problem, people don't want to show up.
They want the applause. They want the Instagram likes. They want the notoriety. But, the last thing they want to do is show up…. the last thing in the world they want to do is show up and put in the work.
I am not writing this post to put anyone down, I am just addressing the reality of the world we live in today.
We have access to thousands of opportunities at our fingertips, and because of this, "stickability" is non-existent… as soon as people begin to feel the smallest amount of pushback in a particular direction, they pull out their phones and look for an easier route.
Relationship not going well? Hop on Tinder.
Taxi taking a little too long? Call an Uber.
Don't want to wait in line at Starbucks? Order from the app.
Today, we live in a world where innovation and the progression of technology are removing something fundamental to personal growth and development — adversity.
We have grown so accustomed to living lives free of adversity, that when we inevitably experience it in our journey towards success, we quit.
Here's the deal folks, they don't make an app for success, there is no easy route.
You have to show up every single day and give it all you got, and if you do, you will be 90% of the way there.

Q: Finding higher and lower numbers in an array and storing in one array I need to get the closest lowest and highest to a number.
Attempt
<?php
    $a = array(1, 8, 23,42,47, 52, 55, 66, 74,75, 76,77,78, 95,);
    sort($a);
    $v = 58;
    $lesser = null;
    $greater = null;
    foreach($a as $key => $current){
        if($current <= $v){
            $lesser     = $current;
            $greater    = $a[($key+1)];
        }else{

        }
    }
        print_r(array(
            "lesser"    => $lesser,
            "greater"   => $greater,
        ));
?>
    /** output :
    Array
   (
     lesser => 55
     greater => 66
    )
    **/

My aim is to get all the numbers greater to the given number, and the same with the lesser:
greater => 66, 74, 75, 77, 78, 95
lesser => 55, 52, 47, 42, 23, 8, 1

How do I solve this problem?

A: Make $lesser and $greater arrays that you push onto, instead of replacing.
<?php
$a = array(1, 8, 23,42,47, 52, 55, 66, 74,75, 76,77,78, 95,);
$v = 58;
$lesser = [];
$greater = [];
foreach($a as $key => $current){
    if ($current < $v) {
        $lesser[] = $current;
    } elseif ($current > $v) {
        $greater[] = $current;
    }
}
print_r(array(
    "lesser"    => $lesser,
    "greater"   => $greater,
));
?>

Profit warnings on the cards for Clinton and Mothercare
Two more Christmas retail casualties have emerged today. But are their woes entirely snow-related?
by Emma Haslett
More retail gloom today, this time from Mothercare and Clinton Cards: both have issued profit warnings after disappointing sales over the Christmas period. The former saw like-for-likes drop by almost 6% in the 12 weeks to January 1, while the latter suffered a more modest 2% fall for the five weeks to January. Predictably, both companies have blamed the cold snap, with Mothercare saying that out-of-town stores were hit particularly hard. Expect plenty more such complaints in the coming weeks...
As with HMV yesterday, Mothercare issued its trading update a week ahead of schedule, prompting its shares to slide by almost 5% this morning. Part of the problem was that it had to stop taking pre-Christmas orders much earlier than usual because the snow was causing a backlog that it was struggling to clear. There was some good news: its international arm, which has outlets in India and is planning to expand in Asia, Scandinavia, South America and Africa, saw sales rise by 17.6%. But even that's not entirely positive; the company is facing stiff competition from supermarkets expanding into the same areas.
The situation at Clinton looks similarly glum. The gift retailer's novelty bears apparently failed to attract much attention, with overall like-for-like sales in the second half of 2010 dropping by 2.9% on a year ago. Chairman Don Lewin said the company's trying to turn things around with a 'rebranding and redesign' of its stores, as well as a new website which will be launched 'soon'.
But while the cold snap clearly did harm retail sales across the board, it's perhaps a little disingenuous to blame it entirely. After all, some retailers appear to have done OK - notably John Lewis, along with specialists like Blacks and Majestic Wines. Perhaps in these two cases the respective business models are also partly to blame - Mothercare's reliance on the big out-of-town retail outlets, and Clinton's insistence on selling the same sickly-sweet kitten calendars it made its name from during the 1990s...
Either way, it's unlikely Clinton and Mothercare will be the last retailers to report disappointing Christmas sales in the next few weeks - or the last to blame it all on the snow.

This is an exciting online bike riding game and you can play the game in the default levels or choose to play the game in the Training Mode. In each level of the game you will be required to ride the BMX to overcome all the unevenness on the mountain tracks to get to the end safely. You should also look to perform stunts and tricks during the ride because that will help you earn maximum points. The tricky part of the game is that each level is time based and you must finish each level before the time finishes. Balancing the bike and riding at good speed simultaneously will be a demanding task for sure. In each level of the game you will be required to ride the BMX to overcome all the unevenness on the mountain tracks to get to the end safely.


Social networks have become part of our day to day; and one more way to communicate. Through our profiles we share our life and our tastes with an entire community. This has practically become a "necessity" for us.
They were born to make it easier to buy and sell; they give the possibility to interact with strangers from anywhere in the world. Apart from that if you have a brand or company allows you to reach better customers.
The social network landscape has evolved over the years; these digital platforms connect people based on a number of criteria such as personal or professional relationship.
Facebook, Instagram or Twitter are the most used in the whole world; and of which one hears regularly; but there are an endless number of apps oriented to different aspects of our life.
Facecast has been one of the last to reach the universe of social networks; its official launch was in May 2018; but it has gained popularity in the last two months.
In this platform users can create videos between 15 and 60 seconds in length, broadcast live, or make a random video chat. An ideal app for celebrities to share stremaing content with their fans.
This social network created in 2016 has become famous over the past year; it charges a fee for creating and curing content. Its operation is based on blockchain technology and for transactions a crypto currency is used.
Each user has Steem Dollars and Steem Power; the former can be exchanged for physical money or virtual coins; and the latter to vote for the posts of other users.
Its mechanism is very simple; content is generated, people vote and that is how a publication gains value. The reward is divided into 50% money and the other half into voting power.
The way to interact is through 'upvote', which would be equivalent to a 'I like'; 'downvote', which is the opposite of the above; comment and share.
Jeff Bezos' technology giant devised its own social platform for its Prime service members. The purpose of this effort is for users to share photos of what they buy on Amazon.
It looks very similar to Instagram and you can create recommendations, surveys or stories. The interesting thing is that through these publications it will be possible to share purchase links; something that will make the user go directly to acquire the article that he has liked.
Caffeine is the social network in which Fox has decided to invest 100 million dollars; a platform that seeks to continue taking advantage of the streaming of video games; a feature that is booming.
Social networks such as Youtube, Gaming, Twitch or Mixer have become very important among gamers, but Caffeine is presented with the simplest and safest. Its innovation according to its creators is that you will be able to start uploading content without complex configurations.
It defines itself as a "social streaming platform for games, entertainment and creative arts, in which you can participate in real time with the streamers or with the viewers".
Lasso is a tool that has as objective the elaboration of videos. It has been created by Facebook as part of its strategy to attract a younger audience.
In it you can create videos with special effects, music, texts, etc.. Its great advantage over similar social networks is its extensive music library.
The trend of the podcast has also reached social networks; Anchor allows its users to become radio broadcasters in a simple and fast way. By downloading the app you will be able to create recordings, add effects, create libraries of wedges, separators, tracks and incorporate music.
At the beginning of 2019 it was bought by Spotify; an action that is part of their commitment to expand beyond streaming music.

Why 2014-15 was a Premier League season to forget
The chasing pack failed to keep up with Jose Mourinho's champions, who had the title wrapped up with three games to spare

Chelsea's Didier Drogba celebrates with the trophy.
Image: PA Wire/Press Association Images
FOR A LEAGUE that boasts about its unpredictability and drama, let's be honest — this has been a relatively humdrum Premier League season, almost tediously easy to forecast.
Chelsea champions, the top places occupied by the biggest spenders, only the final relegation spot was decided on the final day on Sunday.
Newcastle and Hull supporters hid behind their sofas and wished their Premier League status was not in peril, but the rest of us would have preferred if there was more at stake.
We've been spoiled in recent years. There was Sir Alex Ferguson's farewell, Steven Gerrard's slip last season and the ultimate, incredible drama of that finale between Manchester City and QPR in 2012 that cast Sergio Aguero into Premier League legend.
But this is a campaign that has panned out how many expected.
Chelsea won the title on the back of excellent summer spending, dethroning a Manchester City side that lacked the hunger to retain their crown.
Arsenal's hopes were hit by an injury crisis and some dreadful defending. Louis van Gaal injected some charisma back into Manchester United, but stuttered through a transitional season at times. Liverpool, meanwhile, failed to recover from the sale of Luis Suarez or recreate the magic of the previous campaign.
That is the last nine months in a nutshell. Only Southampton and Leicester City performed above expectations in the whole of the division.
Chelsea fans will not care, of course, but it is a shame we were not treated to anything like the drama of the 2013-14 season, when four teams were still competing for the league as late as April and the final weeks were littered with dramatic moments.
Chelsea's triumph ultimately stemmed from their brilliant business in the transfer market in the close season. Their work was done early and efficiently, the weaknesses in the squad plugged by the arrivals of Cesc Fabregas and Diego Costa.
In Eden Hazard, the Blues also boasted the best player in the country by far. The Belgian so often made the difference in turning draws into victories with special moments of genuine, world class quality.
Chelsea were pragmatic and, yes, boring in the last few months of the season, but nobody should forget the irrepressible attacking football with which they blew away all comers before the turn of the year.
They had the best goalkeeper, the best defence, the best attack and the best manager. The standard has been set and the chasing pack know they have a lot of work to do over the summer to catch Jose Mourinho's men.
The pattern of the season was clear within nine matches — just one quarter of the season — when Chelsea were already six points clear of City, nine ahead of Arsenal and Liverpool, and 10 in front of United.
While Chelsea spent the campaign on cruise control, the teams that should have been their strongest challengers — Arsenal and City — either stalled on the grid or ran out of gas.
Arsene Wenger is confident that the Gunners can challenge for the title next season in light of their form since the turn of the year, but only six months ago, the Frenchman faced chants and banners calling for his head.
Source: PA Wire/Press Association Images
(Arsene Wenger believes Arsenal can challenge for the Premier League next season)
Alexis Sanchez's arrival created considerable excitement in north London and the Chilean did his part with some sensational performances, but he wasn't backed up by the rest of the team. Some of Arsenal's defending before Christmas was woeful, while the 'injury crisis' excuse has worn thin and has become a perennial occurrence.
City, for their part, were snapping at Chelsea's heels in early January but then Manuel Pellegrini's squad looked jaded and shaky defensively, lacked attacking fluency and dropped too many points due to careless defending.
Manchester United achieved their bare minimum requirement of qualifying for the Champions League under new boss Van Gaal after taking several months to come to terms with the Dutchman's demands.
United have so much attacking quality but it is a sign of just how far they have fallen that they will need to match their enormous £150m spending of last summer to have any chance of competing for the title next term. The signing of Memphis Depay before the end of the season has signalled their intentions early.
Tottenham appear to be in a permanent state of transition. Mauricio Pochettino – replacing Tim Sherwood who himself had stepped in for Andre Villas-Boas during last season — got his feet under the table, but the astonishing rise of Harry Kane captured the attention and imagination in amongst the predictability of the title race.
It is hard to see how Spurs will reach the Holy Grail of the Champions League again, and the same could be said of Liverpool. Without Suarez, sold to Barcelona last summer, the Reds were blunt in attack and Brendan Rodgers has found himself under increasing pressure in the final weeks of the season.
Two Premier League legends, Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard, are leaving to join Major League Soccer. It will be left the the Americans to debate who is the better player now, but even in their last season in England they both provided some glimpses of their old quality.
Lampard's goal against Chelsea for Manchester City was one of the most memorable moments of the season and his obvious mixed emotions made it all the more surreal.
Chelsea may have cantered over the finish line as expected, but there were some incredible matches. The Blues' blood-and-thunder approach in the first half of the campaign led to some results unbecoming of Mourinho, like their 6-3 victory over Everton and 5-3 defeat to Spurs.
But the game of the season has to be Manchester United's 5-3 loss to Leicester. They had led 3-1 against their newly promoted opponents — Angel Di Maria scored with a remarkable chip — before an England international in the making in Jamie Vardy led the remarkable comeback.
It wasn't all boring. On one weekend in April, we were treated to three goals that would all have been worthy winners of goal of the season. Bobby Zamora dinked in a beauty with the outside of his foot against West Brom, Jermain Defoe smashed an unstoppable volley from outside the box in the Tyne-Wear derby, and Charlie Adam outdid David Beckham with a stunning strike from 60 yards for Stoke against Chelsea.
Adam's strike will go down as the goal of the season but, ultimately, it counted for nothing as Chelsea turned the game around to beat Stoke 2-1 at Stamford Bridge that day.
It was one of the final steps towards winning a Premier League trophy that John Terry — who signed a one-year contract extension in March — lifted in west London on Sunday.
And on the evidence of the last 10 months, it will take a formidable challenge from one of Chelsea's rivals to stop their captain doing the same again at the end of next season.

Why 2014-15 was a Premier League season to forget Comments


Thinking of travelling to Iraq? Here are some Iraq facts to get you started!
Positioned in the Middle East, Iraq shares mutual borders with Kuwait, Turkey, Syria, Iran and Saudi Arabia. The country's eventful past includes UK dependency, authoritative rule and dictatorship. Mildly cold in the winter and blazingly hot in the summer, the weather predisposes to light clothing and heat strokes. This is a country that makes you appreciate the shade.
Iraq enjoys a rich heritage and abundant natural resources. A sophisticated irrigation system, the earliest writings, a full syllabic alphabet and a numeral 60-based math system all impress visitors. That last bit is where we get our current form of keeping time (60 minutes to the hour, etc).
Holy cities abound in Iraq because the capital Baghdad was formerly the center of the Muslim world. The city to which all roads lead, Baghdad, means "Founded by God" and is the birthplace of modern Mathematics, which is reflected in its perfect geometrical shape. Centrally located, Baghdad offers its visitors accommodation and restaurants so it can function as a "base", while Mosul offers some infrastructure.
Retail markets flourish here, called Bazaars, where bargaining is a way of showing respect to the merchant. Ctesiphon near Baghdad offers a highly preserved great banqueting hall in the Palace of Sapor - an architectural marvel.
Babylon, a truly famous ancient city, hosts many relics such as the Ishtar gate and the Babylonian lion. The Babylonian tower's remains tell of a magnificent structure in blue decorated with flowers. Sumerians, Babylonians and Assyrians left traces of their civilizations like the unbelievable Hanging Gardens.
At the time of this writing, there are still security concerns in Baghdad and some southern areas of Iraq. The Northern Kurdish areas are almost a country of their own, and has plenty to keep the traveler busy. If the southern areas overly concern you, the Kurdish areas of Iraq may be more your type of place. As always, a little research goes a long way.
