The changing Macclesfield housing market - and need for low cost housing - has forced plans to restore a dilapidated Gothic building back to the drawing board.
Mirasa Ltd was given planning permission to convert a former women's refuge on London Road into seven two-bed apartments in 2017.
The scheme also included the construction of five mews houses but never got off the ground because of a lack of interest in the site from prospective developers.
Now Mirasa has returned with amended plans that retain the mews houses but seek to convert the main building, called Sunny Bank, into 12 one-bed apartments.
A statement by consultants Emery Planning, submitted as part of the application, says: "The amendments to the approved development are required because the currently approved development is not attractive.
"The applicant has been unable to sell the site as a result.
The building has been empty for some years, having once been a shelter, operated by Cheshire East Council, for up to seven women and 21 children.
Since then it has become subject to trespass and vandalism.
It is stated in the application that the building will ultimately need demolishing if it cannot be refurbished as part of a viable development.
Estate agent Will Prescott, from Holden and Prescott, has advised Cheshire East planners by letter of the housing situation in Macclesfield.
No affordable housing will be provided as part of the scheme but the application says the proposed one-bedroom apartments would 'meet a need for low cost housing in Macclesfield'.

Sean Giambrone wants The Goldbergs to continue
January 23rd, 2023 | By Ryan Genova
Sean Giambrone, who plays Adam Goldberg on the Jenkintown-based TV show The Goldbergs, was recently interviewed by the entertainment website Screen Rant.
Giambrone said that he wants the ABC sitcom, which is loosely based on Goldberg's childhood, to go on. The show is currently in its 10th season and is based in the 1980s. If the show were to continue, it would eventually be based in the 1990s.
Giambrone's character was first introduced as an 11-year-old, and in the season 9 finale, he graduated from high school.

Gianni, founder, voice and soul of the band since the beginning, is no longer part of The Orange Man Theory. Personal reasons and other commitments forced him to leave the project. Now it's hard to say if this will be a definitive separation. Anyway you can still follow him on the Italian and European stages with his one-man band The Blues Against Youth.
Giorgioni, vocalist of Tsubo (one of the best band in the Italian grind scene), has replaced him. He's doing a great job and we'd like to thank him for his great support. Next week he will enter the studio to track the voices for the new album.
The new album was recorded at Kick Recording Studio and will be finished in January. We'll upload some previews really soon and we'll announce the title album and the tracklist. Probably it will be the most violent and tightest Orange's album, so stay tuned!
The album should be released next spring on Subsound Records, and we'll start to promote it from next March with some gigs in Italy and later we'll plan an European tour as well. Write to info@theorangemantheory.com or info@nosunmusic.com if you want to book Oranges in your city.
During the show we'll record a double promotional video, along with Galera, for the new album. We want to see your sweat!
The new album will be released in the spring of 2013… when The Orange Man Theory celebrate 10 years of rockin' out!
From January on, we will monthly upload on our website (new version coming soon) and all other channels (facebook, youtube, twitter…) unreleased material, bootlegs, videos, photos and promo of more 200 shows we've played during the various European, American and South American tours.
New live report by Michele Giorgi on Thenewnoise.it.
Gorizia opening for Youth Of Today, Crailsheim, Besancon, Paris, Bilbao...check the live page with all the gigs confirmed!
The Orange Man Theory announce their next European Tour in April/May 2011, supporting the underground sludge-noise-rock masters "Jucifer".
we have a new song up on myspace!
"Point Of No Arrival" is the new The Orange Man Theory song and it was released last April on the 7inches split with Lucky Funeral.
So, enjoy the rock and don't forget to purchase the record!
The Orange Man Theory will be playing at NoSun Fest, May 28th in Forte Prenestino, Roma. The bill also includes Inferno, Incoming Cerebral Overdrive, Zippo, Buffalo Grillz, Beyond Murder and Andralls (from Brasil).
The day after, the band will headline Lalla Wahlalla festival in Pescara, among with Unaware and Incoming Cerebral Overdrive.
The Orange Man Theory will team up again with the L.A. sludge-legend -(16)- for a 10-days tour in Spain, Portugal and France.
The tour will kick off on June the 9th in Milano @ Mi-Odi Festival and is scheduled to conclude in Madrid on the 17th.
7" split vinyl is finally out!

It is a super slow week in celebrity news so the blogosphere has turned to YouTube for inspiration. The clip above has been consistently pulled so hopefully you can watch it in the next hour before it is removed again. During the filming of a scene, Lily Tomlin is not seeing eye-to-eye with the director, David O. Russell. Insane craziness is the result. And you thought your job sucked.


Last weekend I was on a beautiful balcony in the South Of France chatting with a make-up artist in between shooting different set ups. Somehow we got onto the movie called Sully, which is a true story about the pilot Chelsea Sullenberger who made an emergency landing on the Hudson river and not one person died.
We both saw the movie and were in awe of his strength, his vision and his ability under incredible stress to make a snap decision to land an Airbus on the Hudson river and do it in a way that all lives were saved.
It didn't even take a 1/1000th of second before I had tears in my eyes and goosebumps all over my body just talking about the feat of this man. I could imagine the joy, the tears, the strength, the fear and the tenacity to pull off such a thing.
The client heard us talking and when I walked back in she saw I had tears in my eyes and told me she loved how I was so connected to my emotions.
We then started a beautiful chat about emotions and empathy and for most of my life how I believed it hindered me, made me weak in the eyes of others because I couldn't 'control' my emotions. I can't tell you how many times I have heard things such as 'pull yourself together' or 'get over it' or 'it's not appropriate now'.
I often wondered were these jangly emotions some sort of 'karmic hang-over'? Was there a lesson being passed down from another life that I failed to learn and this time the folks upstairs wanted me to learn it so badly they would throw other people's emotions at me like they were mine?
I have never really tried to explain how empathy works for me but there is an immediate connection, followed by a flood of emotions and I can feel the emotions as intensely and quickly as though it was happening to me. I'm there, it's not only you who is feeling the pain, living the joy, it's me. The same goes for watching movies, I can't handle violence of any kind, it haunts me and my dreams for nights to come.
Living in Italy allowed me to start the process to embrace this part of myself that I had always tried to push away, my tears and laughter were celebrated and held up to me as a gift.
The more I embraced this 'gift' the more comfortable I became with who I was. Not only what is it my secret weapon in my photography bag but also my biggest strength. When I stopped squashing it and pushing it away, it allowed me to read situations and people and bring the right ones into my life.
It took me years to realise I could 'feel' my way through life and use these emotions like a divining rod! These emotions no longer frighten me but they enhance everything I do. I treat them like friends I have always had but no longer wish to ignore. I let tears roll and try not to apologise for them.
Just recently I was so curious about this over sensitivity and my ever ready emotions I Googled it. I found that 'we' had been categorized. There was such a category knows as Highly Sensitive People and I appeared to fit perfectly into it.
This led me to a book called Highly Sensitive People, In An Insensitive World by Ilse Sand and of course I hit buy. Sheesh I had been curious about this subject for my whole life.
There were so many answers for me in this book (no she didn't pronounce it to be Karmic hangover) but I realised that I am not alone.
So folks, if there is a little part of you that you have always squashed or hidden because you don't know how to deal with it or are embarrassed about it like I was, maybe giving voice to this part of you maybe the secret to finding the authentic you.
And when you find the authentic you, you can stand so solidly in your bones and feel proud of who you are, that you can do whatever it is that you came here to do.
The REAL SCULLY Lives just 20 minutes from ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So beautiful Carla, I am the same and was and are often told the same things…. you need to get a hold, not the place etc etc but thats what makes you able to see the emotion and capture it in your photography- I think you see the story behind what is happening- I imagine one! Maybe they are long lost lovers, or reuniting family members after decades apart?
You are no alone in being a highly sensitive person. Thank you for sharing your insights. I will definitely have to read the book on the subject.
I'm loving hearing all these intimate stories about you and the challenges you faced. I guess like me you have proberly heard, "you need to toughen up." But it's true, strengths do become weaknesses.
Such a wonderful post Carla – honestly loved it – and am more than a little in awe of your openness and honesty.

The important work that the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) does was validated by the President in his recent State of the Union address. I believe President Trump articulated an inspiring vision of American greatness. His speech was brimming with optimism, deeply patriotic and unifying.
The President laid out an ambitious and bold agenda against the backdrop of the recent remarkable jobs report that further showcases how good policies put forward by the President and the Administration are having impactful results.
Entrepreneurs know the economy is front and center to our national leadership. A strong national economy allows small business owners to confidently make critical decisions such as hiring new employees, buying new inventory, or expanding into a second or third location.
The economic facts are looking pretty good right now for small business expansion. The most recent jobs report showed 304,000 new jobs created last month — a total of 5.3 million new jobs under this President. Nationally, we saw six consecutive months of wage growth at or above three percent. Wages are at an 11-year high with average hourly earnings rising by 3.2 percent in January. We have seen 11 straight months of unemployment at or below four percent — including record low levels among women, African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, Asian-Americans, youth and blue-collar workers.
There is a manufacturing comeback with more than half a million new manufacturing jobs created under President Trump. Finally, and most important to the SBA, small business optimism has risen to one of the highest levels in history. Last fiscal year alone, more than 72,000 small business loans, worth $30 billion, were approved by the SBA nationwide.
I commend the President for offering a framework for bipartisan cooperation. President Trump outlined a common sense, inclusive agenda for improving the quality of life for all Americans. As the President noted, some of the most extraordinary accomplishments of the past two years occurred as a result of bipartisan cooperation. Examples include the recent Criminal Justice Reform bill, and bipartisan legislation to fight the opioid epidemic.
The President laid out a roadmap for expanded prosperity and greater security. He identified five critically important policy priorities that will expand prosperity in America, and promote peace at home and abroad. This agenda includes safe and legal immigration, protecting American workers with fair trade policies, rebuilding America by advocating for an infrastructure package that invests in vital national infrastructure projects, lowering the cost of healthcare and prescription drugs and strengthening national security.
I am proud that the President's State of the Union address pushed an ambitious and bold agenda. Small business continues to drive our nation's economy and having a strong positive message presented by our President creates an environment that is good for business, especially for the entrepreneurial community.

Q: iOS Sound not playing in Swift I'm building a tableview in which each cell represents a sound that is played when the user taps  that particular cell.
In objective-C it worked fine, but now that Apple released Swift I decided to move over instantly, but for some reason the sound does not play. My code when the user taps the cell:
func tableView(tableView: UITableView!, didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath!) {
    var currentItem = self.items[indexPath.row]

    var audioPath = NSString(string: NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource(currentItem.soundID, ofType: "mp3"))

    println(audioPath)

    var audioPlayer = AVAudioPlayer(contentsOfURL: NSURL(string: audioPath), error: nil)
    audioPlayer.play()
}

currentItem is the object in the array that has to be called. Each sound I can play is put in a custom object, together with a title and an image. that object is put in an instance of currentItem.
This is what the printNL outputs when I tapp one of my cells:
/private/var/mobile/Containers/Bundle/Application/ADF0CAFC-4C9E-475E-B3F0-CD85A1873CA5/Juichen.app/StupidQuestion.mp3

it does not give an error. I already tried moving the sound file to other folders, but that does not solve the problem either. therefore, I assume that this problem occurs because I am calling the audioPlayer incorrect?
Any help would be highly appreciated!

A: Let say you have a class myTable:
class myTable : UITableViewController
{
    var audioPlayer:AVAudioPlayer? = nil

...
}

And to initialize audioPlayer:
func tableView(tableView: UITableView!, didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath!)
{
        var currentItem = self.items[indexPath.row]

        var audioPath = NSString(string: NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource(currentItem.soundID, ofType: "mp3"))

        println(audioPath)

        var error : NSError? = nil
        self.audioPlayer = AVAudioPlayer(contentsOfURL: NSURL(string: audioPath), error: &error)

        if (self.audioPlayer == nil)
        {
            if let playerError = error as? NSError
            {
                let des : String? = playerError.localizedDescription
                println("Error: \(des)")
            }
        }
        else
        {
            self.audioPlayer.play()
        }
}

Hope this helps.

Property, casualty policies may be exposed to virus claims: Experts
Matthew Lerner
March 24, 2020 Reprints
Catastrophes Coronavirus D&O Emerging Risks P/C Insurers More + Less -
Property and casualty policies may be exposed to claims due to losses stemming from the coronavirus outbreak, experts said in a webinar Tuesday.
Chris Cheatham, CEO of RiskGenius and based in Overland Park, Missouri, said that public policy may also play a role in how claims play out.
"Don't just focus on property policies; your casualty policies matter, too," Mr. Cheatham said.
"We're seeing restaurants and businesses not shutting down," Mr. Cheatham said. "That is fodder for lawsuits," he said, from those claiming they were exposed or infected due to such decisions.
Directors and officers coverage and resulting defense costs may be triggered by shareholder lawsuits, such as against a cruise line, said Cheri Trites Versluis, director, policy analysis for RiskGenius.
She said RiskGenius knows of two suits alleging "corporations engaged in wrongful conduct leading to a decline in stock price."
Property policies with exclusions for communicable diseases or viruses and bacteria will likely not be triggered by coronavirus claims, Ms. Trites Versluis said. She said she anticipates these exclusions, drafted in response to previous epidemics and pandemics, to be "pretty well upheld," and that any policies containing such exclusions will "very likely" not be triggered by a coronavirus claim.
The key question among other property policies without such exclusions will likely be whether physical damage or loss was sustained, Ms. Trites Versluis said.
She said many of the analyses of the physical damage question have cited Gregory Packing Inc. v. Travelers Property Casualty Co. of America, in which a U.S. district court in New Jersey in 2014 found that covered property damage had occurred when ammonia was accidentally released into a facility, rendering the building unsafe until it could be aired out and cleaned.
She noted, however, that "other cases in other jurisdictions have reached contrary conclusions as to whether contamination constitutes physical loss."
Mr. Cheatham said that public policy may well play a role in the disposition of these issues in the courts, noting that some public officials have taken the position that "the virus is physically causing property damage due to its proclivity to attach to surfaces for a prolonged period of time."
He said public officials appear to be trying "to set up insurance claims."

I mentioned in the Butterbeer recipe post that we had recently visited Universal Studios. I cannot tell you how AMAZING the Wizarding World Of Harry Potter is…I mean, I don't even have adequate words to describe it all! One thing my kids had to have from our visit was a quill. I tried to explain to them that we could make them for a fraction of the cost, but they wouldn't take no for an answer and spent their $7+ on a quill (each)! So, a few days after we came home, I went to Michael's and bought a 3 pack of black feathers for $1 after my coupon and set out to show them I could make those same quills for much less…and you can too with this simple Harry Potter inspired quill DIY!
Take your pen apart and snip it down in half or more.
Carefully use the skewer to clear the inside of the feather. You may need to snip off the tip of the feather too. Add a large drop of Gorilla Glue Super Glue to the cut end of the pen and drop a little into the tip of the feather.
Using the wire snips to hold the pen tip, slide the pen into the hole of the feather, and voila! You have a quill. If the pen wasn't cut short enough, you can slide it back out and trim it before the glue dries, or you can color the tip with a black sharpie. For $0.33 each, I have 3 quills that look nearly identical to the Harry Potter ones from Universal and my kids are THRILLED to have extras!
Be sure to check out the rest of Harry Potter Week too!

KNIGHT TRIUMPHANT
Shannon Drake, Author . Zebra $6.99 (512p) ISBN 978-0-8217-6928-7
Beguiled
When Darkness Falls
REALM OF SHADOWS
DEEP MIDNIGHT
The Pirate Bride

WHEN WE TOUCH

The Lion in Glory
No Other Man
Come the Morning
Set in Scotland in the early 1300s during the war between Robert the Bruce and King Edward I, the fourth book in Drake's Graham family series (following Seize the Dawn) opens with a history lesson disguised as a fairytale, but quickly launches into an epic story of love, war and conviction. After escaping plague-ridden Langley castle shortly following her husband's death, Englishwoman Igrainia is captured by Scottish warrior Eric Graham, who seeks to free his wife and daughter from Langley's prison. Upon learning that his daughter is already dead and his wife is dying from the disease, the warrior threatens to kill Igrainia if she cannot save her. In short order, Eric's wife dies, the warrior himself falls ill, Igrainia nurses him back to health and then she tries to flee back to England. Once recovered, Eric recaptures Igrainia and eventually forces her to marry him, a political move that benefits Scotland but enrages both Igrainia and King Edward. This lengthy romance is loaded with period detail and brutal battles between Bruce and the Brits but, thankfully, Eric and Igrainia's fitful romance is always at the forefront. Although it takes a considerable amount of time and many obstacles for the two to realize they love one another, this is a well-researched and thoroughly entertaining read. (Mar.)
Forecast:The author of more than 100 titles, Drake also writes contemporary romantic thrillers under the pseudonym Heather Graham (A Season of Miracles, etc.). Drake's popularity began with her historicals, however, and her long-time fans will grab this one as fast as the printer can roll them out. A 10-city author tour and national print advertising may also attract new readers.

Moss is Star Player in a "Cape Cod Yard"
Carpet of moss thrives on northwest-facing slope in Harwich, Mass.
Any yard on Cape Cod without the benefit of irrigation, fertilizer and herbicide, is referred to as a "Cape Cod Yard".
It's a yard where nature calls the shots and designs the landscape. There's a little grass, but equal parts pine needles, exposed sand and, if you're lucky, a bed of moss.
With enough moisture, moss will grow on any type of soil, dead tree branches and on rocks.
A primitive plant, moss has no vascular system, flower, seeds or roots. But the effect of a carpet of fluffy green can be spectacular.
There is no dormant season for moss. It stops growing during a dry spell but it will grow year round, even at less than 32 degrees.
Moss and wild grass
There are more than 12,000 species of moss and two types-- acrocarpous and pleuropous.
Acrocarpous has a mounded growth
Pleurocapous grows outward to form a carpet
The typical homeowner spends mightily to eliminate moss and weeds from his lawn, however there are other gardeners spending a small fortune to have a lawn of only moss. Installations can cost as much as $75,000 for 2,000 square feet of property, according to Annie Martin, a moss grower and expert in Brevard, North Carolina.
Moss growers supply the product by the square foot, and while you might be tempted to take home a piece of moss you find in the woods, there is growing backlash from people who say the woods are to be left the way they are. Once you have some moss of your own, you can take a spatula and run it beneath the plant to grab a thin layer of soil, break apart the moss and replant in a new spot. Eventually the plants will grow together.
To find out more about moss and how to grow and propagate it, go to MossandStoneGardens.com.

Pentagram's identity for The Moholy-Nagy Foundation uses the Bauhaus leader's own processes
Marina Willer's team at Pentagram's London studio has worked on the new design system and visual identity and system for The Moholy-Nagy Foundation.
Written by: Emily Gosling
The private family foundation aiming to continue the legacy of László Moholy-Nagy – the artist, photographer, filmmaker and writer who became well-known as a professor at the Bauhaus school – was formed in 2003 by his daughter Hattula Moholy-Nagyin. It strives to promote, research and preserve the Hungarian-born Renaissance life and work.
The designs looked to be stroking and sympathetic to the artist, referencing Moholy-Nagy's processes; but without veering into mimicry or pastiche.
The new brand identity was informed by the methods that Moholy-Nagy used in his own work. As such, a key aspect of the designs is the use of photograms, which appear in typography and other graphic elements across the branding's various applications.
The Pentagram team used this mode of experimental photography to inform the series of typographic shapes created by hand in their studio using light and water projections, including a typographic wordmark that appears across all of the Foundation's printed and digital touchpoints including letterheads, business cards and online applications. The process gives the identity a fluid feel for which Pentagram also describes as using a "craft-based approach".
A new website was created which bears this branding alongside the identity typeface Riposte by Good Type Foundry a neo-grotesque inspired by mid-century fonts, "with contemporary features that bring a sense of modernity to the brand identity while allowing for a clear archival language," says Pentagram. The site acts as a comprehensive resource on the artist's work and an extensive archive of his creations.
The colour palette of black, white and sand is deliberately minimal, taking influence from Moholy-Nagy's work and light-based media. "The neutral colours allow for use across all applications and alongside any artwork," says Pentagram.
Following his departure from the Bauhaus school, Moholy-Nagy started his own studio in Berlin and took on various roles including the photography editorship of Dutch magazines avant-garde magazine International Revue i10. Moholy-Nagy moved with his family to London in 1935, living for a time with Walter Gropius in the Isokon building and hanging out with other Bauhaus émigrés Walter Gropius and Marcel Breuer in North London. After the war, Moholy-Nagy was invited to move to Chicago to establish the radical Chicago School of Design, known as the 'New Bauhaus'.

Forward James Kelly goes up for a layup in the team's 81-78 loss to UAB Saturday.
The Marshall University men's basketball team will head southwest to El Paso, Texas to take on the UTEP Miners as it looks to improve on its 8-2 record in Conference-USA play.
The Herd competed for the top spot in C-USA Saturday, but lost 81-78 to the University of Alabama at Birmingham in a controversial finish. The loss bumped Marshall to second in the conference standings.
Senior forward James Kelly led the Herd with 30 points and 10 rebounds, registering his team-leading 11th double-double of the season.
Kelly wasn't the only one racking up points for the Herd in the team's loss to UAB. Junior forward Ryan Taylor also scored 19 points for Marshall as he was the only other member of the team to accrue a double-figure scoring effort.
Despite the disappointing loss to UAB, junior guard Stevie Browning said the team is excited and they're focused on looking forward.
"It was a tough loss and we can't wait to get back on the floor to get that bad taste out of our mouths," Browning said.
Ryan Taylor said the team is prepared and has shed the pain of the team's latest loss.
"We're staying focused on what's important, which is this next game," Taylor said. "We know it's a long season, so we just got to get better every day and just stay locked into our game."
A win for the Herd would give Marshall its best 10-game start in conference play since the 1996-97 season when it was a member of the Southern Conference. A win would also be the Herd's first win ever against UTEP in El Paso.
The game is scheduled to tip-off at 9:05 p.m. ET.

Q: Redirect Loop with Heroku and Rails 4 App My app runs fine locally, but when I push to Heroku, in Firefox it says "The page isn't redirecting properly" (i.e. a 302 error).
Running heroku logs results in a bunch of requests like this:
2015-06-02T21:30:26.556750+00:00 heroku[router]: at=info method=GET path="/" host=www.mydomainname.com request_id=a0cb3aa2-af7c-431a-9cc4-a237e551ae0a fwd="173.27.229.45" dyno=web.1 connect=2ms service=13ms status=302 bytes=499
2015-06-02T21:30:27.761039+00:00 heroku[router]: at=info method=GET path="/" host=www.mydomainname.com request_id=32026d7d-2167-4058-8ef6-8ebd15af7460 fwd="173.27.229.45" dyno=web.1 connect=2ms service=12ms status=302 bytes=499
2015-06-02T21:30:27.914344+00:00 heroku[router]: at=info method=GET path="/" host=www.mydomainname.com request_id=2087a90c-fd56-4d14-b630-9c92fda30c80 fwd="173.27.229.45" dyno=web.1 connect=1ms service=15ms status=302 bytes=499

When I run the "Network" option under Firefox's Developer section, it continuously shows that it is alternating between the domain with and without www.  For example:
www.domain.com
domain.com
www.domain.com
domain.com

etc.
I am using a custom domain name but have it set up exactly how my other apps that are working are set up, so I don't think it is a DNS issue as far as how the setup goes.  Also, when I visit the "myappname.herokuapp.com" URL, it immediately redirects to heroku.com for some reason.  Not sure why.  I ran the "Production Check" and it passes the "DNS configuration" section.
I realize that I have not provided a bunch of information here (not sure what else to provide), but any ideas on what I could look into next?
EDIT: Today it is saying this prior to the redirect code posted earlier:

EDIT 2: I re-cloned the repository into a different directory and then ran heroku create, git push heroku master, and then heroku run rake db:migrate.  I did this to eliminate any possible DNS issues.  The log now says:
2015-06-03T15:55:51.082260+00:00 heroku[router]: at=error code=H10 desc="App crashed" method=GET path="/" host=lit-inlet-1933.herokuapp.com request_id=2cd494b9-8f93-4270-b8db-e1dda9a6ab4a fwd="173.27.229.45" dyno= connect= service= status=503 bytes=

This shows 2 crashes to the root url "/" and 2 crashes on /favicon.ico.  Based on the favicon.ico, I removed any favicons from the root page as a test.  Now the app is behaving similarly to the earlier one: It immediately redirects to heroku.com instead of loading the page and the logs says:

and the view is:

The Original Rainbow Coalition
In this episode we turn to late 1960s Chicago, when three unlikely groups came together to form a coalition based on interracial solidarity. It's hard to imagine this kind of collaboration today, but we dove into how a group of Black radicals, Confederate flag-waving white Southerners, and street-gang-turned-activist Puerto Ricans found common ground.
Bad Bunny, Reggaeton, and Resistance
Bad Bunny, the genre- and gender norm-defying Puerto Rican rapper, is one of the biggest music stars on the planet. He has also provided a global megaphone for Puerto Rican discontent. In this episode, we take a look at how Bad Bunny became the unlikely voice of resistance in Puerto Rico.

Love the episode on the origins of cumbia!
I am a Peruvian-American and was raised with the big salsa greats like Fania, El Gran Combo and later when Carlos Vives was on the scene I really took a deeper look into cumbia from South America. It honestly wasn't my favorite because I loved te
He faster rhythm of salsa and merengue but I learned to appreciate cumbia through the humble lyrics cumbia has. Thank you for this informative history lesson!

Wake up Brown people
Great episode but in Florida they (Hispanics) are still sleep. Hispanics ain't woke as it pertains to the realities of how they are perceived by Republicans, and as it pertains to the positive impact they can have if they just WAKE UP and get involved.
Wow! Once again you guys hit it out the park. I grew up in NOLA and lived that color thing on a daily basis. As it is even today 50 years later I find it amazing how Whites attempt to muddy the water by any means necessary to retain power. The "Browning" of America is a very scary thing to some White people. In a country that has such a strong history of people of color from its indigenous roots, to enslavement to migration it seems as though White people will go to any length to lessen the power, discredit and discriminate against people of color. What will they think of next? SMH.

Mobile Cannabis Extraction Module Makes Its Way To British Columbia
Original story from Quadron Cannatech
Complete the form below and we will email you a PDF version of "Mobile Cannabis Extraction Module Makes Its Way To British Columbia "
Credit: Quadron Cannatech
Quadron Cannatech has announced that it has completed the sale of its first mobile extraction module to TLC Botanicals, located in Langley, British Columbia.
TLC Botanicals is a First Nation holistic family-oriented company, working cooperatively with First Nations towards building and operating licensed facilities and providing medical cannabis to both First Nations and conventional patients. Shamans First Choice dispensary, a subsidiary of TLC Botanicals will provide medical cannabis to approved patients in Canada under the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (ACMPR).
Quadron designs, constructs and deploys mobile extraction laboratories to service the cannabis sector. Many growers have limited square footage to build and operate a full extraction and processing facility – Quadron's mobile extraction system is a state-of-the-art modular, self-contained and fully portable extraction and processing laboratory. Quadron's mobile units come in different modules to accommodate the specific production needs of the client. Each module offers a scalable controlled-environment, which takes up a limited footprint, and is shipped on-site and installed in less than a day.
Rosy Mondin, CEO of Quadron states, "Through innovative engineering, and by leveraging our extraction and processing knowledge and expertise, we've designed a turn-key, drop in place, fully-functioning extraction environment. The end result is a processing solution that serves a growing demand within the cannabis industry, enabling participants to process plants for terpenes and other cannabis compounds in a safe and professional setting."
Dave Campbell, General Manager and Director of TLC Botanicals states: "It was a pleasure working alongside the Quadron team in the purchase of our new extraction unit. The professionalism they showed us was evident as they took our customized order and made the necessary adjustments to maximize the production levels we require. We look forward to future dealings with Quadron and its great team."

Pakistan's Ambassador to the United States (US) Ali Jahangir Siddiqui called on US Secretary of Defence James Mattis at the Pentagon in Washington on Tuesday, Radio Pakistan reported.
According to Radio Pakistan, the officials noted that both countries have been working towards the restoration of their bilateral ties. Issues of regional security also came under discussion.
This is one of the newly appointed envoy's first meetings with a top US official. Ali Siddiqui, who earlier served as a special assistant on economic and business affairs to former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi was named ambassador in March this year.
Siddiqui's meeting with Mattis comes days after Afghan President Ashraf Ghani contacted Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf chief Imran Khan. The Afghan president and Khan "agreed to overcome the past and to lay a new foundation for a prosperous political, social and economic future of both countries Afghanistan and Pakistan."
'Envoy' Ali Jahangir Siddiqui for how long?
Please Pakistan call this guy back. He doesnt uphold the moral ground to represent Pakistan.
His days are numbered too. In the interim, he may meet and greet as many "movers and shakers" in Washington, D.C. as possible. Eventually, it will look good on his resume.
Saying his goodbyes so soon.
Wait till the new NAB begins ita cases against them.
Youll be on your way back very soon.
This corrupt man of NS team meeting US Defence secy...for what?????
Ambassador Ali Jahangir Siddiqui is a political appointee.
Tell him to do more against rogue CIA and US rogue Army.
Get this corrupt croonie out before he inflicts any damage!
Imran Khan has someone else in mind for Ambassador to US. As a matter of fact the ambassadors to all countries will be changed, nothing new, all new governments do this.
The interim government should stop this nonsense right away.
All a waste of time. Enjoy the food.
Will be coming home, soon.....why wasting our time and money?
Ali Jahangir Siddiqui will make the record of shortest tenure as Ambassador in USA.
More like a photo app.
Why has he not resigned his post. He met him to seek asylum.
Wish Pakistan and it's people all the best.
US knows he will not be around for too long and hence can be ignored.
This tainted individual's US ambassadorial tenure would be the shortest in Pakistan's history. Betting on PTI recalling him once in government and sending an actual foreign service officer in his place.
@Harmony-1© Is he still there?
Will that be the last meeting?
Why is this guy meeting anyone in first place? He had no credentials at the time of his appointment and secondly, US refused to see him till newly elected government in Pak would come in to power.
@SHAHZ Ali Jahangir was appointed by outgoing government in a hurry at the last minute. He will be going back soon. Why US government is bothering to meet him?
Siddiqui need to resign ASAP before he is removed anyways.
Waste of time; he should have been re-called by the interim government. This post requires a serious diplomat who can articulate Pakistan's position not only to American State departments but use lobbyists to nurture relationship with US congress, senate, and representatives of other countries.
These meetings should be held off until formation of new government.
Ali Jahangir Siddiqui is a proactive, energetic and fluent in English and seems far better than the career diplomats who have very poor experience of handling Americans. Ali Jahangir should be given the opportunity to work for the revival of our good relations with the Americans.
Was this statement about warning IMF came as a result of this meeting?
Your envoys must be extremely articulate,knowledgeable about history and its impact on contemporary world. He must be aware of all the issues affecting his country and the host nation and be capable of imaginative thinking to improve bilateral relations. Unfortunately our envoys are of poor quality and do a bad job of representing their country. Cronyism is the name of the game as in other spheres in Pakistan.
he did a real good JOB! the result showed up in Pampeo's statement regarding IMF! now we know why he was rushed in last few days of PLN Government.

Christians in the cyclone-devastated Mozambican town of Buzi on Sunday celebrated Palm Sunday among ruins — a month after Cyclone Idai tore through the country leaving a trail of destruction. Around 400 worshippers made their way through the streets for the Palm Sunday procession with fallen trees and buildings with no roofs, windows or doors still visible.
One man held a wooden cross, leading the hundreds of other believers as residents watched from the terraces of buildings that survived the cyclone. Around 400 worshippers made their way through the streets for the Palm Sunday procession with fallen trees and buildings with no roofs, windows or doors still visible.
One man held a wooden cross, leading the hundreds of other believers as residents watched from the terraces of buildings that survived the cyclone. The procession ended with a mass at Lady of Grace Parish Catholic Church, in the township of Barrio Manasse, whose zinc roof sheets were blown off by the cyclone. Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Catholic holy week, which culminates in Easter Sunday. "Most of our congregants are still trying to rebuild their houses that were destroyed by the cyclone," the priest, father Celso Taibo told AFP.


Learn about the evolution of mobile apps across IoT, wearables, microdevices, cars, homes, Apple TV, Amazon Echo, et al.
To gather insights for DZone's Native Mobile App Development Research Guide, scheduled for release in February, 2016, we spoke to 18 executives who are developing mobile applications in their own company or helping clients do so.
We asked these executives, "What's the future for native mobile apps from your perspective?"
Launching apps coordinated with the releases of new platforms. Smart developers stay ahead of the curve. Pay attention to the notice that's being given, embrace the changes and be the first to adopt to stay ahead of the curve.
How to merge information on the phone to create value for the user. Can we use more of the phone's capabilities to provide a better user experience (UX)? More data visualization to give users immediate and valuable feedback.
Tie systems together on the digital backend. Have a better understanding of the context of the user so you can provide a better, more intuitive UX. Make experiences richer and more user focused.
Automation, analytics and intelligence. Drive new insights into what's going on. Leverage big data to predict behavior. Data you can capture, understand, analyze and add value with. Tie together learning, analytics and mobility.
The future is with IoT, finance, industry, healthcare and retail. Look for common toolsets across devices to support different use cases. Driverless cars and L'Oreal's "makeup genius" are great examples. L'Oreal's virtual experience provides recommendations based on buyer behavior and what looks consumers like, as well as advice on how to apply makeup in the mirror. Mobile apps are serving as stepping stones to physical devices.
Native apps help to provide a utility for consumers. As behaviors evolve, users expect to do much more with their mobile devices, and the bar is constantly being raised on what can be done with an app.
Realize workers are no longer behind their desks. Use mobile to rethink those areas where people are servicing equipment or customers. Give these people access to data so they don't need paper, they can place an order on the spot - business-to-employee transformation. Replace paper forms and manuals for less with iPads. Building native could be prohibitive when you need rapid mobile app development. Change is occurring in many corporations who are using Windows tablets with apps that run on iOS and Windows.
Wearable tech and micro-mobile (e.g. Apple Watch) are great opportunities to enhance and augment mobile applications to create integrated apps that truly become anthropomorphic technologies.
Devices are going away. Mobile won't be the phone in our pocket, it will be the Apple TV, devices like Echo, and products that have not yet been conceived.
Mobile is not going away. Keep up with the technology . There's an opportunity for standards on the Android side. Build apps. Mobile will supplant any unnecessary technology.
Integration with external technologies with the app so data is accessible. 75% of apps are personalized and must be integrated with other things. Apps are becoming increasingly personalized to provide the UX expected by the end user. Make it easier to integrate multiple streams of data into your app for the developer.
We need everything from the website to the app to be integrated. Everything will be a hybrid with multiple solutions. How do we coordinate and communicate across all those devices? How do we centralize management of experience and knowledge so everything can be coordinated for the optimal UX? How do we make the experience consistent across platforms - data must interact?
The definition of mobility expandsto include IoT, wearables, and sensors all providing broader device experiences. How do we build for connected sensors, smarter homes, and smarter cars? More complexity = more opportunity.
We will evolve from mobile to wearables which offers rich next steps and the same challenges. We are on the cusp of new uses through the phone's accessories - virtual reality and augmented reality using context - camera on smartphone and pan and show in the viewfinder.
More platforms - wearables, Apple TV, IoT, cars - a seamless flow between all of them. Everything will be connected.
Where can users see the most innovative work that will benefit them. In business, apps will be more vertically focused on healthcare, retail, logistics, and financial services. In consumer there will be an app that integrates all of the different social media apps. In app development, automated application testing will be developed to get rid of the bottleneck that is hindering agile development. Currently there's no automation framework which makes it hard to test on many devices and networks and also hard to explore all of the user paths.
What do you see as the future of mobile applications?

When Expectations (Always) Fail to Become Reality
Posted on June 16, 2014 by Monica
One of my favorite scenes in the movie (500) Days of Summer is titled "Expectations vs. Reality." It follows Tom, the main character, as he goes to his recently ex-girlfriend Summer's house for a party. He anticipates that the party will rekindle their love and that they will end the night together again, but he soon realizes that it is actually her engagement party. The scene shows Tom's expectations on one side and the reality of the situation on the other. Rather than end in romance like Tom hopes, the night ends when he leaves early because he cannot handle it.
Optimism is a funny thing. It sounds fantastic in theory–always look on the bright side of life, glass half-full, silver linings, sunshine, lollipops and rainbows, etc. A life lived expecting the best from every person and every situation seems bulletproof. Everything is peachy and nothing hurts.
Except sometimes optimism doesn't work. Sometimes it causes more heartbreak and disappointment than pessimism ever could because sometimes expectations simply cannot match reality. In any situation that involves two people, one person's optimism can never compensate for the other's lack of reciprocation. While the pessimist may foresee the worst and prepare accordingly, the optimist will not accept that awful possibility. So when it inevitably becomes reality, the optimist feels crushed beyond repair. Something that initially seemed impossible becomes all too real, and the optimist is blindsided by the concurrent feelings.
Tom is an optimist. He wanted Summer back and assumed that it would happen that night. He could not predict that she was engaged because she was the only one for him, so he must be the only one for her. The idealized version of their relationship convinced him that they would end up together. Anything else was simply not an option. When the situation's absoluteness became apparent, the only thing he could do was flee.
There is a term for the uncomfortable and agonizing feeling that accompanies failed expectations: cognitive dissonance. When our brains attempt to process two conflicting truths, especially when one challenges all previous beliefs, we are left to decide which holds more value. Tom enters the party knowing that he loves Summer, but she is engaged. He cannot immediately accept this information because all previous evidence suggests that if she would not marry Tom, she would not marry anyone. Cognitive dissonance instills an uneasiness in him that he can only alleviate with time.
I have been victim to the soul-crushing realization that the romanticized moments I imagine will never actualize far too many times. I have set my hopes beyond reasonable doubt and dreamed massive dreams because like Tom, I always expect the best. I know that in at least one parallel universe, these dreams are possible. If I could control the situation, I could ensure that my absurd expectations ensue. And if there were not other people involved with complicated stories and complex emotions, then everything would be fine. But cognitive dissonance is my nemesis, and the resulting desperation takes over.
I am certain that the despair I feel upon failed expectations would be far less poignant without my relentless optimism. But I am also certain that the ecstasy that accompanies exceeded expectations would be far duller. I allow myself to experience the full spectrum of emotions because when I do, I open myself to the profundity of humanity. These feelings make me mortal, and my life would be meaningless without the extremes on both ends. Cognitive dissonance can be unbearable, but its bite means that I felt something.
Tom did not get Summer back that night, but it hurt because he loved her so deeply. And the authenticity of that feeling is all that matters.
Interesting People and a Collage of Weirdness
Posted on May 29, 2014 by Monica
"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars." -Jack Kerouac
Like Kerouac, I prefer to surround myself with interesting people. People that devote their time to their own eccentricity and reject complacency. People that wear what makes them happy and say things that might not make sense to anyone but themselves. People that approach life with at once both an openness to its uncertainties and an urgency to not waste one moment. These people take YOLO to an extreme but do so effortlessly because to them, there is no other way to live. They feel things deeply because they have intentionally connected themselves to the world and those in it.
In the movie Her, the main character tell his artificial intelligence girlfriend that he often looks at people and thinks about the expanse of their emotions. He wonders how deeply they have been in love and how much heartbreak they have endured. Given, this man says this to a computer program that is only a voice, but his perspective is still worthwhile. Amid overwhelming waves of emotion like infatuation or grief, it often feels like no one anywhere has ever felt the extent of our complete surrender to our feelings. But humans tend to be pretty complex, so chances are that unless the person next to us is a sociopath, he has felt all the same feels we have experienced.
There is a certain beauty in this complexity that molds all the interesting people of the world together into a collage of weirdness. Spoiler alert: all people are interesting, but some people are more interesting than others. Or at least some people have discovered their interesting more quickly and fully than others. I love Eugene because the people there fulfill every level on the spectrum of exceptional weirdness. There are slug queens and roller derby stars, but there are also famous runners and maniac football fans. There are even white collar workers and horseback riding enthusiasts.
People in Eugene–and Oregon in general–embrace discomfort and deter conformity because their surroundings necessitate it. Though it is possible to live in Eugene and avoid all things hippie–Saturday Market, the Eugene Celebration, the Country Fair–it would be difficult to actively dislike these things. Their uniqueness and benevolence requires some respect, so most Eugenians provide it. The Eugene vibe moves beyond tolerance to a certain appreciation for abnormality that enables that same collage of weirdness.
The transition from a 500-person high school to a 25,000-person college has introduced all kinds of new, interesting people into my life, but I am still only one hour from my hometown. Right now, my interactions are mostly limited to those who also seek a college degree, and even more so to those in my major classes.
There is so much world left to see and so many people left to meet outside of this small town. People who have lived on the other side of the globe in situations I cannot fathom; people with brilliant minds and philosophies that understand the universe more clearly than distractions allow me; and people who simply have a story that deserves to be shared. This planet brims with curious people who do spectacular things. The only thing left to do is look for them.

US DoD patent remote brain monitoring and manipulation.
US DoD patent remote brain monitoring and manipulation reviews a technology apparatus for and method of sensing brain waves at a position remote from a subject whereby electromagnetic signals of different frequencies are simultaneously transmitted to the brain of the subject in which the signals interfere with one another to yield a waveform which is modulated by the subject's brain waves. The interference waveform which is representative of the brain wave activity is re-transmitted by the brain to a receiver where it is demodulated and amplified. The demodulated waveform is then displayed for visual viewing and routed to a computer for further processing and analysis. The demodulated waveform also can be used to produce a compensating signal which is transmitted back to the brain to effect a desired change in electrical activity therein.

Set out your eggs and cream cheese so that they are room temperature when you need them. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with foil. Spray lightly with non-stick spray and set aside.
Press crumb mixture firmly onto bottom of prepared pan. Bake 15 minutes.
While crust is cooking,beat cream cheese and granulated sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add eggs, 2 tablespoons flour, and baking powder; mix well. Blend in 1 tablespoon lime zest and lime juice. Make sure you scrape the bowl well so that there is no unblended cream cheese. Pour mixture over crust.
Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until center is set. Cool completely. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight. The longer the better. Sprinkle with sifted powdered sugar and remaining 2 tablespoons grated lime peel just before cutting into squares to serve. Store leftover squares in refrigerator.

Nuriye Kesbir (also known as Sozdar Avesta), born 20 June 1948, is a member of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) and also of the presidential council of Kurdistan Union of Communities (KCK).

Biography
In 2001 she was arrested upon her arrival at the Schiphol Airport in the Netherlands and following Turkey demanded her extradition for alleged war crimes. The Dutch Minister of Justice Piet Hein Donner initially wanted to allow the extradition but Kesbir challenged the decision in the courts. The Human Rights Watch, in an open letter to Piet Hein Donner, demanded that the Netherlands withhold from an extradition to Turkey, due to concerns she might be tortured. Other human rights organizations, including the United Nations (UN) also appealed to the Dutch Government to halt the extradition. On 20 January 2005, a court in the Netherlands decided not to allow extradition due to concerns she would be tortured in Turkish detention and Kesbir was released the same day. After her release the Dutch Government challenged the ruling, appealing at the Supreme Court. On 15 September 2006, the appeal was denied, upholding the decision of the lower court. In September 2005 the Turkish Government asked the United States to include Nuriye Kesbir in their joint efforts to contain the PKK activity in Western Europe. Her request for asylum in the Netherlands was halted based on the exclusion clause of article 1F of the refugee convention. The decision of the Dutch Immigration Service was upheld by the court and the higher court for asylum cases. After the denial of her asylum request, she returned to Iraq. In 2013, she was elected as one of the six members of the presidential council of the Kurdistan Union of Communities (KCK). She is a defender of the rights of the Yazidi and the philosophy of Abdullah Öcalan.

Legal prosecution in Turkey
In August 2015, an arrest warrant was issued over Interpol against her and 48 alleged members of the PKK accusing them with attempting to establish a Kurdistan in parts of Turkey and disrupting the unity of the (Turkish) state. In 2021, she was included in the investigations of the Kobani trial, in which the defendants of which many are politicians of the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) are accused with organizing protests against the Islamic State besieging Kobani. During the protests people died and the defendants are blamed for the deaths by the prosecution.

Movie
Annegriet Wietsma produced a movie about her called "Sozdar, she who lives her promise".

"Goals however remain an issue and I expect Roy Hodgson's Palace team, who have lost their previous two, to be extremely compact and tough to break down.
"Brighton have the most draws in the Premier League this season with 11 but I just fancy them to nick this one by the odd goal.
"I like Alexis Mac Allister in the attacking midfield role and the Argentina international links well with Leo Trossard and Neal Maupay.
"Brighton also have the added incentive of leapfrogging their rivals in the table and should have just enough to break through against a Palace team who will seriously miss the creative talents of the injured Wilf Zaha."
Derren Howard's prediction: Brighton 1-0 Palace.

Microsoft said this week that its Windows 10 operating system (OS) is now running on more than 800 million active devices globally, one step nearer to its goal of 1 billion Windows 10 users.
Thank you to any all our clients and partners for serving us achieve 800 million Windows 10 devices and also the highest customer satisfaction in the history of Windows, Yusuf Mehdi, Company Vice President of Modern Life and Devices Group tweeted.
It took virtually 3 years and 8 months for Windows 10 to succeed in the goal of 800 million once it had been released in July 2015, Xinhua press agency reported.
Microsoft had originally expected to achieve the goal of getting Windows 10 installed on One billion devices globally in 3 years once its release, but it missed the target last year.
The company proclaimed in September 2018 that over 700 million devices were running Windows 10, indicating it had won One (100) million new users in less than 6 months.
