VERZUZ battles aren't just a celebration of music, they walk us through history, regions and eras.
Fabolous and Jadakiss showcased a bit of New York hip-hop culture, Jeezy and Gucci Mane gave viewers a small taste of Atlanta. More recently, West Coast legends Too $hort and E-40 let everyone know about Bay Area's contributions to hip hop, and even gave a shout out to DJ Screw.
Bun B had previously made it known back in May that he wanted to compete in a VERZUZ battle with the perfect contender, Memphis duo 8ball & MJG.
A post shared by Bun B (@bunb)
After facing delays, the bout may finally be on the horizon. Bun B further confirmed the music battle happening on the Donnie Houston podcast, released earlier this week.
"I know I'm doing a VERZUZ but it's not Texas-based," Bun said during the podcast. "I'm doing VERZUZ, it'll be UGK prolly against 8Ball and MJG. A real VERZUZ, not just any… yeah, UGK will represent Texas in Verzuz going up against North Mound."
BUN B HELPS MUSICIANS: Houston rapper Bun B helps Houston Music Foundation bring relief to struggling musicians
While 8ball & MJG are Memphis natives, the duo is still connected to Houston. The duo's first record deal was with Suave House, an independent record label started in here in Houston.
There's been no official promotion of the VERZUZ battle, and no date has been set either. Bun B mentioned that because the Keyshia Cole & Ashanti VERZUZ battle was canceled, all future battles haven't been given a set date.
Due to the rapid increase in COVID-19 cases, VERZUZ released a statement, saying that musical artists will be now go back to separate locations.
We'll be on the lookout for the official announcement about the potential Texas music battle.

Celine Dion again postponed shows
Stephan Terry April 29, 2022 1 min read
Celine Dion announced on Friday that she was postponing all concerts on the "Courage World Tour" scheduled for this year in Europe until 2023 due to health problems.
"I'm feeling a little better… but I'm still having seizures," the Quebec star explained in a press release issued by the large hall of the Paris La Defense Arena in France.
"I am very sorry to have to change the dates of the European tour again; The first time it was due to an infection, now it is due to my health, "said the 54-year-old singer.
"To be on stage, I have to be in the best shape. Truth be told, I can not wait, but I'm not ready yet … I will do my best to come back 100% to get on stage, because that's what you deserve. She.
Listen to Sophie Durocher's passage on Philippe-Vincent Fossie's microphone on QUB Radio:
Celine Dion presented the first 52 shows of the tour before the onset of the epidemic in early 2020. Last January the singer announced that she was canceling the North American part of the tour due to her health issues.

A baby was accidentally locked in a hot vehicle on Tuesday morning in Vernon.
Emergency crews were called to the Vernon & District Performing Arts Centre parking lot at about 11 a.m. to find a woman panicking after accidentally locking her keys in her truck with a newborn baby.
The driver of the vehicle immediately called 9-1-1 and never left the vehicle unattended, according to a witness.
When Castanet arrived on scene fire crews and police were attempting to pry open the vehicle doors.
Minutes later they managed to open one of the back doors and rescue the very calm baby.
The owner of the truck immediately held the infant in her arms and was seen thanking emergency crews, with tear-filled eyes.
Every year police urge parents to remember it's not safe to leave young children in the car at any time, particularly when the weather is warm.

Q: Can you do this using jquery? Is it possible to do this from within a class?
   $("#" + field).click(this.validate);

So basically I want to pass a function of the object that should be executed whenever something is clicked. Also, if there are more than 1 instances of this object, then the correct instance (i.e the one which runs this code for the given field) should be executed.

A: I am not sure about an easy way, but you can always go the closure route:
var that = this;
$("#" + field).click(function() {
    that.validate();
});

A:
Is it possible to do this from within a class?
$("#" + field).click(this.validate);

"this.validate" is problematic. JavaScript does not have bound methods, so when you pass that reference, it is only pointing to a plain function. When called, 'this' will not be correctly set. See ALA for a fairly thorough discussion of the binding loss problem.
Some frameworks provide built-in method-binding functionality; jQuery does not, as it tends to concentrate more on closures than JavaScript objects. In any case, creating a binding wrapper using a closure is pretty simple; Andrey's answer is the usual approach for jQuery users.
The one thing to look out for with closures for event handlers (whether you are using jQuery or not) is that it tends to cause memory leaks in IE. For simple, short-lived web pages you may not care.

A: Yes it is possible.
10 mins ago was writting a snipet because i had just that problem
$("div.myalarms_delete").click(function(){
    var mid = this.id;
    $("li#"+mid).fadeOut("fast");
});

the div.myalarms_delete also as the id I needed

A: From inside a class you're typically better off using the .find function.
var child = this.find('.someChildClass');
var child2 = this.find('#someChildId');

My life is crazy and definitely not the norm! A glimpse into my everyday life would look like long days, long car rides, hours of rehearsals, stressful chaos, a lot of makeup and hairspray, and I can honestly say I am extremely blessed. I have every opportunity at my fingertips when it comes to performing arts. My family is in the entertainment business and we own a performing arts studio. I will admit that for a long time I took this for granted. I grew up on stage. When I was only three days old I was introduced to an audience on stage, so I just grew up thinking everyone lived my lifestyle. Then I began to observe parents driving their kids two to three hours for vocal or performance training in our studio. I began to see the transformation and growth in these kids. I began to see their confidence build. Then it hit me! These opportunities and exposure to performing arts I have experienced my whole life wasn't the reality for these aspiring artists. I began to research and was astounded at the number of schools and communities that do not have the funding or support to provide sufficient arts programs and resources. With a new perspective, I was excited and driven to do something about it and from that my program "Music Matters" began.
A survey completed by Americans for the Arts demonstrates that access to arts education remains unavailable to a large number of students. The statistics show that 55% of schools do not offer theater, 88% do not offer dance, and 9% do not offer music. I know it may seem like arts is widely available, but that small 9% is equal to roughly 1.3 million students that are left without music instruction. Studies show that students of the arts outperform non-arts students by 57 points in verbal and 41 points in math on their SAT exam. When students engage with the arts, they develop skills that will benefit them throughout their lives. From improving their ability to express themselves and their creativity, to learning the importance of hard work by achieving certain goals and objectives, arts education can push children to become more effective students and give them the ability to navigate challenges into adulthood.
By taking advantage of the opportunities given to me through our family business, I am working to expose these kids to arts by providing camps, workshops, performance opportunities, and my school program! I volunteer with my hometown's downtown program and surrounding communities to promote events, emcee festivals, and entertain the community, using each performance as an opportunity to promote the arts. Through my Triple Threat Camp, I've been able to reach kids K-12 to give them a 3-day arts experience jam packed full of learning and performing. I am the youngest member of the Denison Performing Arts Board of Directors. Through competitions and field trips, we are able to give all kids in our community a more hands-on arts experience. My school program gives me the chance to travel to schools outside of my community and connect with the kids to share my story, expose them to the arts, and leave them with the resources they need to get involved. I take my program into children's hospitals and have experienced first-hand the healing powers of music and the arts.

State Schools Chief Tom Torlakson Names International Liaison
SACRAMENTO - State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson named an experienced educator as the California Department of Education's first International Education Liaison.
Steven Ma will help California educators forge closer ties with educators throughout the world, develop and strengthen partnerships with Mexico, China and other nations, work to expand teacher exchange programs, and initiate other plans to promote international cooperation and understanding.
He will be assisted by Dave Long, an education consultant who formerly served as Education Secretary for Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Superintendent of Riverside County schools.
"I am excited that Stephen and Dave, with their remarkable experience, track record and passion for education, have agreed to help forge new partnerships and programs between California educators and educators throughout the world," Torlakson said. "In these uncertain political times it is especially important that California educators remain engaged with the rest of the world."
Ma, a former high school math teacher at Castlemont High School in Oakland, is Secretary of the California Commission on Asian and Pacific Islander Affairs, chair of the Asian American Education Media Foundation, and owns a tutoring and college preparation firm.
Both will serve as volunteers.
The announcement comes the day before Torlakson visits Mexico to meet with the Mexican Education Secretary to discuss increasing cooperation, teacher exchanges, and assisting students who have attended K-12 schools on both sides of the border.
The California Department of Education (CDE) is a state agency led by State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson. You may also follow him through CDE's mobile Web site, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube.

Q: Static build of GMP for MSVC (Windows) Is it possible to build GMP for MSVC on Windows?
I need fully static solution (static library), without any DLL dependencies. So that my final EXE doesn't depend on any external (non-system) DLLs.
I'm alright if building GMP will need Cygwin or MSYS, as far as it can be used later in MSVC without any problems. But as far as I know at least Cygwin builds always depend on extra DLLs like  cygwin1.dll which is not affordable for me, fully static-library solution is needed.
I'm aware there exists MPIR library that is more Windows friendly. But right now I need specifically GMP solution if possible.
Of course would be great if all optimizations and assembly is used when building for Windows. But if assembly is not possible then at least non-assembly (generic) variant of GMP is needed.
Of course I need 64-bit version.
If someone can post all steps needed to produce such static library for MSVC usage? Or maybe link some web-site that has such instructions?

A: I successfully managed to compile a working fully statically linked program with GMP using MSVC under Windows.
For that I used installation of MSYS, which is located in c:/bin/msys/ on my machine.
Then inside MSYS shell installed GMP packages mingw-w64-clang-x86_64-gmp and gmp-devel (pacman -S gmp-devel to install and pacman -Ss gmp to search).
In MSVC compiler I added include directory c:/bin/msys/clang64/include/.
Wrote an example of GMP usage program in C++, that implements Trial Division / Pollard's Rho / Pollard's P-1 factoring algorithms using long arithmetics. This program uses both mpz_...() C routines and mpz_class C++ wrapper class. For example this program is located in main.cpp.
To linker command line I added following libraries:
c:/bin/msys/clang64/lib/libgmp.a
c:/bin/msys/clang64/lib/libgmpxx.a
c:/bin/msys/mingw64/lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/10.3.0/libgcc.a
c:/bin/msys/clang64/x86_64-w64-mingw32/lib/libmingwex.a

Also I had to add /FORCE flag (read about it here) to linker command, because libmingwex.a has some symbols overlapping with default MSVC's libraries, precisely without /FORCE I had following errors:
libucrt.lib(strnlen.obj) : error LNK2005: wcsnlen already defined in libmingwex.a(lib64_libmingwex_a-wcsnlen.o)
libucrt.lib(strnlen.obj) : error LNK2005: strnlen already defined in libmingwex.a(lib64_libmingwex_a-strnlen.o)
bin\win-msvc-m-64-release\drafts\gmp_int_msvc.exe : fatal error LNK1169: one or more multiply defined symbols found

All steps produced working (tested) final statically-linked program without any external DLL dependencies (of course except for default system DLLs of Windows).
It means MSYS's libraries .a are fully compatible with MSVC and link successfully in MSVC compilation.
Not to have /FORCE linker flag I also did extra following steps. Made a copy of c:/bin/msys/clang64/x86_64-w64-mingw32/lib/libmingwex.a library. Used c:/bin/msys/clang64/bin/objcopy.exe util, which probably was installed together with Clang. With objcopy renamed overlapping symbols:
objcopy --redefine-sym wcsnlen=msys_wcsnlen libmingwex.a
objcopy --redefine-sym strnlen=msys_strnlen libmingwex.a

which allowed me to successfully use this modified libmingwex.a library to link in MSVC without using /FORCE.

People love to Instagram coffee shops. There's something about the coffee cup aesthetics, brown hues or clean interiors, and cozy vibes that not only make people want to work remote there for the day, but also upload their experience to Instagram. So what coffee shops around Dallas does this hold true?
You could easily miss Local Press + Brew driving on your way to Bishop Arts, but popping in is well worth the Insta-credit! This 100% local coffee shop and juice parlor has long been on our list of favorite places around town. And it's an added bonus that it's super cute too! From it's walk up window and succulent plant wall, to its light, bright and minimalist interior with a mirror wall, you never want to leave. And their motorcycle-themed coffee shop next door, Local Moto + Provisions, is great too!
Magnolia Sous Le Pont is another easy one to miss. It's located underneath a second story walk way, and would totally blend in with the area, if it wasn't for its turquoise facade. And wow has that facade and patio circulated its way around Instagram! But walk in, and things get even more adorable, with its cozy European coffee shop vibes it aims to reproduce.
We couldn't forget the burbs. This darling coffee shop looks like it is straight out of an editorial shoot, with its ranch-style house exterior, white walls and clean interior. P.S. it actually it also a very relaxing place to do work. Curl up in a booth and sip a coffee until it's time to switch to wine.
While the Houndstooth Coffee on Henderson Ave is very cute in its own right, the location that has us taking all the photos for social media is the bigger outpost located in Sylvan Thirty in West Dallas. The all-white interior, the Texas-state shape at the bottom of each coffee mug, the accordion white center piece above the coffee bar and their slogan, "The Pattern of Coffee and People," set against a natural wrap around wood bench makes for a picturesque place for a cup of joe! P.S. this spot was recognized by Architectural Digest as the 2018 Most Beautiful Coffee Shop in Texas!
This swanky Downtown Dallas hotel has one of our favorite places for coffee. The Weekend is known for having some of the best, but also most expensive, coffee around town. If you feel like staying, you can sit outside the main coffee shop walls and enjoy the beautiful hotel decor - a mix of velvet, luxury and style!

New cafe comes ashore to the Alexandria waterfront
By Patricia Sullivan

Bio Follow
In August, the owner of Alexandria's Bittersweet Cafe will open the first new business on the city's waterfront since contentious local debate about how to redevelop the Potomac River shore erupted in 2011.
Waterfront Market, a gourmet grocery and cafe with indoor and outdoor dining, will take over the space at the foot of King Street occupied by the Old Historic Alexandria Museum Store, near the Torpedo Factory Art Center. The market will include a full-service bakery and sell wine and beer. Of its 150 seats, 74 will be outdoors; officials hope it will bring new energy to the moribund boardwalk area on the water.
"I think it's going to be a game-changer," said owner Jody Manor, a native Alexandrian who's been in business in the area for 30 years. "I'm very interested in the economic vitality of the city."
On Saturday, Manor received a special-use permit from the City Council for the restaurant. Manor, who is on the city's waterfront committee, defended the $11,800 annual license fee proposed by city staff members. (When the special-use permit expires, in three years, the license fee will increase to $12,286.)
Vice Mayor Allison Silberberg, who repeatedly said she supported the opening of the Waterfront Market, asked whether the license fee was high enough.
Opening the business is "a risk," Manor said. "It's a big space, and there's a reason it hasn't been leased for 10 years."
The market's outdoor tables, which will be tucked behind the Chart House restaurant in what is arguably one of the city's most high-profile locations, will replace a collection of failed fast-food franchises. The Torpedo Factory's half-million annual visitors currently have limited food and drink choices in the immediate area.

So, why two data types? And which should you use? The first answer is pretty straightforward, and dives a little bit into the history of PostgreSQL.
The JSON data type was first introduced in version 9.2, released in September of 2012, and is a thin veneer around the TEXT type: when inserting or updating a JSON typed field, validation of the document occurs to make sure that it is valid. Otherwise, the document itself is not very complicated. Early JSON operations were limited to converting to and from arrays, but were expanded fairly quickly to include operators to retrieve elements of a document by key as TEXT.
The JSONB data type was introduced later, in version 9.4, released in December of 2014. It is based on the HSTORE data type, which is a single-dimensional key/value type. JSONB expanded on HSTORE by adding another dimension via the addition of arrays and objects. Where HSTORE was only able to be flat, JSONB is able to be as deep as you need, embedding objects in arrays inside of objects inside of array, as deep and complex as you need the document to be. In addition, JSONB adds operators that allow for manipulation of JSONB data, such as || for concatenation, - and #- for deletion. Together, these make JSONB into a much more powerful data type than JSON.
So, why use JSON when JSONB exists? Isn't it better? Well, the answer to that can be complicated, based on your use cases.
Let's first take a look at storage. Let's say we have a 30k JSON document (28168 bytes to be exact): storing this as TEXT is pretty straightforward, but what happens when we store it as JSON? Storing 1,000 copies ends up being 5,660,672 bytes. Let's compare that to JSONB: 6,340,608 bytes. That's just over 1.12 times the amount of storage to gain the ability to do simple direct manipulation and searches using operators.
What other tradeoffs are we making? Let's take a look at query times. It's easy to execute queries by creating some simple benchmarks.
For the record, and so you can play along at home, you can find a GitHub repository with all of the benchmark code, tables, and stored procedures for setting everything up on GitHub. Note that all tests were run on a Macbook Pro running MacOS, against PostgreSQL 10.5.
On my laptop, that gives me a solid 5787.718 ms (or just over 5 seconds). That's not too bad, given what we're doing: casting a TEXT value as JSON, which is validating the TEXT as a full JSON document, 10,000 times.
This runs in 9725.226 ms (or just under 10 seconds). This isn't quite as good, at almost twice the amount of time to insert, but whether or not it matters comes down to how intend to use our data.
This allows us to execute a query some large number of times and get a fairly accurate representation of the average amount of time to execute a single query, and the aggregate of all of the queries is quite helpful.
Another 20 (or 200,000 rows), but not nearly as fast at 43733.030 ms (or just under 44 seconds). This is nearly one quarter the speed as using straight JSON.
So far, there has yet to be a compelling reason to use JSONB over JSON, but we've only just started looking at the possibilities. We've inserted, we've done document level querying, but what about direct querying of the data itself?
This returns in 38927.170 ms (just under 39 seconds). Not great, but how will JSONB fare?
7504.617 ms (7.5 seconds)! Huzzah! Now we're starting to see where JSONB can shine. Because the JSON object has been converted into a data structure that is easy to iterate through, finding or modifying elements of the object should be much faster, as we are seeing.
There are a ton of other operations that JSONB gives us, that are not available to JSON objects without either casting, or using a stored procedure in a language that understands JSON natively. For these tests, I've chosen PLV8, specifically version 3.0alpha.
This finishes in 96797.946 ms (just under 97 seconds), taking nearly 2.5 times longer. This is pretty significant.
This is not fast in comparison. Completing the 20 iterations takes 348327.778 ms (over 5 minutes).
Again, not fast, clocking in at 131241.480 ms (2 minutes and 11 seconds), but much better than the same functionality in PLV8 using JSONB, but still slower than casting JSON to JSONB, or just using JSONB to begin with. But, remember that JSONB operators are useful for the most simplistic cases, so you may need to resort to stored procedures to get the most out of both JSON and JSONB.
Now that you know a little more about JSON and JSONB and how they both perform in PostgreSQL, you can make some data backed decisions on which is more appropriate for your day to day usage. Of course no article like this would be complete without a picture of performance, so here goes. Hopefully it was worth reading until the end to see it.

Drinking water supply systems in Africa
USING WATA™ DEVICES IN WATER SUPPLY SYSTEMS – A NEW CONCEPT
Chlorination of drinking water systems is the most efficient way to provide drinking water to rural populations in developing countries.
Antenna together with its field partners has developed and implemented a plan for a production facility and a description of the procedures for implementing WATA devices in small scale water supply systems in Burkina Faso. These technical documents and tools are now available to governments, NGOs and the private sector to replicate and adapt the system around the world.
THE OBJECTIVE OF THE INITIAL PROJECT
The initial project "Drinking water systems in Burkina Faso" improves access to drinking water in rural communities of Burkina Faso. For this, an active chlorine solution (6g / L), produced in-situ thanks to WATA™ technology, is injected through a metering pump into the pipes to make the water drinkable.
The project is implemented in close collaboration with the Burkina Faso Ministry of Water and Sanitation (MEA) and the Ministry of Health in 6 villages. The technology is very simple to use and maintain and the system operator can handle it alone.
WATA™ is a simple, efficient, and almost autonomous technology for water treatment
The chlorination is done in-situ in a room at the foot of the water tower
In Burkina Faso, the system follows the 2013 standards issued by the government for water supply systems, implying an obligation to control the quality of the water
This project fills the demands coming from the field, and does not create new needsMore about the project can be found in the technical note.
More about the project can be found in the technical note and in the installation document as well as in the presentation that was delivered at the knowledge sharing forum of the Fédération vaudoise de coopération FEDEVACO in 2019.

This morning on the first Sunday of the new year we celebrated a service of renewal of our covenant with God, usually just called "the Covenant service". In Methodism it goes back to the time of John Wesley when he freely adopted a form of service used by Puritan Anglicans, and he decreed it should be used annually by his societies (religious sub groupings that worshipped within the Church Of England) and the practice was to do this at the beginning of a calendar year. More recently some Methodist Churches have started to hold their Covenant services at the start of the Church year, when newly appointed ministers are in place for the first time in their churches at the start of September.

The walls cupboards inside the kitchen and became a lag between your kitchen stand called backsplash, has now become one of the crucial elements while in the kitchen. Its existence not only acts from splashes of foodstuffs or fat, but also with the capacity of being attractive things that enhance the search of your kitchen.
Finish content mustn't just scratch- immune but additionally immune to high humidity. This is because the coatings are often with sharp things including blades in contact. You'll be able to pick synthetic or natural substance. For supplies that are pure you are able to select rock's type that's as strong as marble and pebble. When it comes to active manufactured solid-surface and ceramics.
There are various covering supplies for surfaces and platforms. Regrettably, not everything is correctly useful for the kitchen. You should be in choosing a right dining table as well as wallcoverings, discerning. This really is due to use of the Loco Shed's high-intensity. Besides the kitchen can be prone to spots and water. Before determining the kitchen table right and also wall coverings, note the following.

Responding to failure with emotions, instead of cognitively, could make you more effective at improving your results the next time you tackle a related task, new research suggests.
The researchers conducted three experiments in which undergraduate students were required to perform tasks.
In one, students were asked to search online for a blender and report the lowest price they could find with the possibility of winning a cash prize. The price search task was rigged, however, and a computer would inform all participants that the lowest price was $3.27 less than what they found.
All failed to win the $50 cash prize.
Some participants were asked to focus on emotions as they learned the results and others their cognitive response, such as rationalizing factors for why they didn't succeed. During the next similar task, participants who focused on their emotional response to failing exerted more effort than those who emphasized a cognitive response.
The results are fairly straightforward because they indicated that allowing yourself to feel bad or even focus on negative emotions after a failure will help guide future decision-making in a positive way, at least if the task is similar to the one you failed at earlier, she says.
Future research could focus on separating specific types of emotions and thoughts because it may be that specific emotions are more effective than others, and certain types of thoughts may hurt or help more than others, she says.
Another piece of good news is the findings are easily applicable for people practicing self-motivation techniques.

Playrix's Homescapes reached $420 million in income in its first 12 months on the App Store and Google Play, round half of the quantity earned by its hit predecessor, Gardenscapes. We at Playrix attempt to attenuate the variety of bugs that may pop up in the launch versions of our video games. The staff puts a lot of effort into sharpening and testing the ultimate outcome earlier than it goes public. Quality is certainly one of our high priorities. That is the critical reason why Gardenscapes as a match 3 sport monetizes so nicely. By only allowing purchases of boosts, players can't purchase progress, they should earn it. Gamers have to roll the dice with the match 3 gameplay with a view to unlock the content material that they need, and these levels require plenty of patience or boosts to win. At the moment, there are over 6000 ranges within the sport, each one offering you with an attention-grabbing and difficult match-three puzzle to finish. The sport is also up to date with new levels each week. 15 new levels are added to the sport every Thursday, providing constant content for gamers. As such, it's always laborious to offer an actual count of how many ranges are within the recreation, as a result of the number is always rising.
In addition to our lawn and backyard enterprise, our transportation firm, Gardenscape Transport has a fleet of recent mannequin Peterbilt tractors and trailers that guarantee our merchandise will arrive on time and in wonderful condition. Along with this company owned equipment, Gardenscape also makes use of a big network of long term, reliable brokers that supply quality service as properly. Since 2004, Paradise Gardens has been creating outside dwelling spaces and planting gardens and landscapes in Greenville county. We focus on lower maintenance and efficient landscape designs. We're personable, professional, and concerned with all phases of each challenge. The Gardenscapes app is translated into thirteen different languages, and I used to be completely happy to see push notifications were localized to replicate that. Nonetheless, after switching back and forth between English and Spanish, I noticed that their push notifications couldn't hold observe of which language I was taking part in in. So they only sent me ALL the notifications.
Whether or not you want a as soon as-a-season touch-up, recommendation on planting or landscaping, or a daily upkeep schedule, Masterpiece Gardenscapes is right here to offer fine quality backyard providers for homes, body corporates, or residential communities at an inexpensive price. Additionally, in Gardenscapes it's potential to order tiles – there isn't any such factor in Fishdom. This isn't a game-changing difference, however some sudden levels or parts can be created on its base. You possibly can order tiles, which don't fall on the sphere and appear beneath different circumstances. For example, we've got a flower-bed that can create random flower tiles on the field in case you make a mixture near it. These elements enable us to create tons of ranges completely different from Fishdom.
After choosing the setting of the sport there's a temptation to make all the elements in one style. You additionally attempt to use all usual parts for this genre: candies, crystals, greens, flowers, and so on. But we must understand that the setting of Gardenscapes is not so easy. Austin has a garden, why not use the fruit theme? In my subjective opinion, it's far more necessary to make all components engaging as an alternative of indifferently constructing them in the setting. I think we got it right, and bricks look much less logical and laborious to be tied to the story of the sport. Anyway whatever we acquire: apples, bricks, flowers or something else – we get stars after finishing duties on the degrees. We consider this scheme to be totally logical.
Sturdy decoration + narrative elements brought innovation to the match three style. Whereas including these programs, the core success criteria for a puzzle game stayed intact. There is a possibility that after the release of the game, some followers of the original Gardenscapes were upset. Alternatively, the match-3 genre is wider than ISpy. We felt that in the long run there can be many fans of the new model. In addition, the audiences of each genres intersect, and the original Gardenscapes followers will likely be comfortable to play match-three. Really, this is what occurred after the launch. For such a soothing game, their push notification strategy appeared sadly misinformed. They gave the impression to be focusing on the mistaken facets of their recreation. They felt generic and poorly timed. Not as soon as did they tackle me by name. Nor was their content material interesting or engaging sufficient to inspire me to open the app. And for such a whimsical and healthful sport, I'd have anticipated extra from its notifications.


Did Shaqille O'Neal Retire Because of Sleep Apnea?
Shaquille O'Neal recently let the world know he has sleep apnea. He shared his experience of testing and treating it with the world on You Tube. A month later he is announcing his retirement from professional sports. Is it possible that the long term effects of sleep apnea have caused him to feel he has come to the end of his career sooner than he could have? Did his poor sleep from traveling and changing time zones add to the problems he was already having?
Sleep is important to everyone but for an athlete it is an essential part of training. Getting slow wave sleep is where the body releases its growth hormone and heals itself. This deep sleep occurs during the first third of the night. If, like Shaq, you stop breathing 20-39 times an hour it becomes impossible for the body to reach this portion of sleep. Add to the inability the stress of his oxygen dropping throughout the night so he is unable to give enough oxygen to his muscles and you do not get fed. Finally add the stress all this lack of sleep on the body as a whole will keep his body from healing properly.
Shaq also lived a life that kept him from having good sleep hygiene. Traveling and the constant change of time would cause issues with his ability to go to sleep and wake up. The body works best when it has a routine and with constant changes not only of time but also the light that stimulates the brain to help regulate the body rhythm can make the brains ability to shut down difficult.
If Shaq had actually treated his sleep apnea earlier it might have helped improve his health significantly. As this stress works on the body it contributes to high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and current research has even linked it to certain types of cancer. The body needs rest to recover and it needs rest to reboot our brain and help with our short term memory. When we do not get this solid rest we pay a price with out health. Although Shaq has played professional ball for 19 years he may have been able to go that 20th season if he had just rested a little better.
What lessons can we learn from this in our own lives? We should listen to our bodies. Snoring and fatigue are not normal. They are signs that should be listened to and discussed with your doctor. If you live alone and do not know if you snore but have other health issues such as high blood pressure or diabetes that are not improving even on medication you might want to ask your doctor about sleep apnea. You might also think that sleep apnea is just for those who are overweight, this is not the case. You can be any size or shape and have sleep apnea. It is more about how your airway is built then how much fat you carry on your body.
Overall sleep is important to your health and if you get a good night sleep each night you will find that your health and your energy levels should improve.

Debate on most progressive won by non-participant By: Niigaan Sinclair Posted: 7:00 PM CDT Friday, Sep. 10, 2021
At Thursday's federal leaders debate, in the segment entitled "reconciliation," APTN host Melissa Ridgen asked Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau why Canadians should give his party a third term when his government has doubled the bureaucracy of Indigenous Affairs, failed to fix boil water advisories and "Canadians and Indigenous peoples are losing patience with the lack of results from all of this spending."
APTN Melissa Ridgen
In a testy tone, Trudeau said: "One of the enemies of progressive politics, Melissa, is cynicism, discounting the hard work that millions of people have been involved in over the past years."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35S288Bey9s
Trudeau added his government has fixed more boil water advisories, provided "new or refurbished schools," settled more land claims and created more partnerships with First Nations then any in history, but "progressives always know there is more to do."
"I don't think that anyone is questioning the money that's spent but questioning the results," Ridgen dryly replied.
It was a terrible look for Trudeau.
A man giving a lesson to an Indigenous woman on "progressivism" is bad enough; a prime minister chiding an Indigenous person for being "cynical" is another level of insulting.
Fred Chartrand / The Canadian Press Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau
I don't know any Indigenous person not "cynical" about a century-and-a-half of federal governments and their violent policies that fail to treat Indigenous people as human beings.
A couple years of attention and dollars won't cure this, never mind some mansplaining on how "progressivism" works. Trudeau doesn't even know what it is.
Until Thursday night, no Indigenous reporter had participated in a federal leaders debate. Progressivism is how calm Ridgen was when asking about the life-and-death situations in Indigenous communities created by racist laws and a callous, uncaring and colonial Canada.
The country saw five federal leaders in a room debating whether boil water advisories should be dealt with at all, and witnessed Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet complain how Quebec's reputation has taken hits because people are talking about racism in the province after the in-hospital, highly-publicized death of Indigenous woman Joyce Echaquan.
The fact everyone was so calm talking about an ongoing genocide is unsettling.
Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole speaks to the media following the federal election English-language Leaders debate in Gatineau, Que., on Thursday, Sept. 9, 2021. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Fred Chartrand
Progressivism is Indigenous people participating in a Canadian election where barely 15 minutes is spent talking about Indigenous communities and much of it was full of inaccuracies and ignorance.
Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole once again spread falsehoods on the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Nothing in the declaration challenges "partnerships for Indigenous communities," no matter how many times O'Toole says it does.
Watching Thursday's debate gave Canadians a window into what former justice minister Jody Wilson-Raybould (whose name was evoked by Green Leader Annamie Paul many times) must have gone through in government; surrounded by privilege, ignorance, and a bunch of men who think mansplaining, making stuff up and acting less violently is progressive.
This isn't an attack on Trudeau, who was rattled throughout the night and (ironically) particularly during the segment on "reconciliation."
O'Toole may have been a victor of the debate according to critics, but this is because he said so little. If he had to answer for his atrocious platform that promises to criminalize Indigenous activists, ramp up resource extraction projects, and reduce Indigenous rights, his "Canada's Recovery Plan" would be renamed "Canada's More of the Same Plan."
Fred Chartrand / The Canadian Press NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh
Jagmeet Singh's NDP platform is the most engaged and interesting for Indigenous peoples — particularly in the promise for a "new standard" on consultation — but provides few details (such as cost).
Paul and the Green party has been in the midst of a political civil war and, frankly, anything they're offering is moot.
Anything I would write about the Bloc would be more than the 10 paragraphs in its platform it dedicates to talking about Indigenous peoples, which frame Indigenous communities into Quebec's "nation-to-nation" interests.
This leaves yet another depressing situation for Indigenous voters, left to choose from a set of bad choices Sept. 20.
One thing is for sure: the debate on who is most "progressive" was proven Thursday, and it wasn't who was being questioned. It was who was asking the questions.

Baconin Borzacchini (Terni, 28 de septiembre de 1898-Monza, 10 de septiembre de 1933), conocido también como Mario Umberto Borzacchini, fue un piloto automovilístico italiano. Falleció en un accidente durante una carrera en el circuito de Monza.

Biografía

Baconino Francesco Domenico Borzacchini nació en Terni, en la región de Umbría (Italia). A los 14 años comenzó a trabajar en un garaje, formándose como mecánico. Después de su servicio en el ejército durante la Primera Guerra Mundial, comenzó a competir en motocicletas antes de convertirse en piloto automovilístico en 1926. Durante los dos años siguientes ganó seis pruebas de ascenso en Italia, conduciendo un Salmson. Obtuvo victorias en tres importantes carreras italianas, incluida la Copa Etna en Catania y la clase de 1100 cc en la Targa Florio de 1926 y 1927, donde venció a su compatriota Luigi Fagioli. El éxito de Borzacchini finalmente lo llevó a recibir una oferta para unirse al equipo de carreras de Maserati, y conduciendo para ellos, ganó el Terni-Passo della Somma de 1927 y la Coppa della Collina Pistoiese. En 1928 condujo a un Maserati al primer lugar en la Coppa Gallenga en la ascensión a Rocca di Papa.

El 28 de septiembre de 1929, Borzacchini estableció un nuevo récord de velocidad en tierra sobre un recorrido de 10 km en un Maserati V4, con un promedio de 246.069 km/h. Ese mismo año, terminó segundo en el Circuito di Alessandria y en el Gran Premio de Trípoli.

En 1930, bajo el régimen fascista del dictador italiano Benito Mussolini, Borzacchini fue presionado para competir con un nombre italiano, Mario Umberto, en lugar de su nombre de nacimiento de Baconin, que se refería al del anarquista revolucionario ruso, Mijaíl Bakunin, a quien sus padres admiraban.

Maserati participó en las 500 Millas de Indianápolis de 1930. Presentó un coche diseñado con un suave perfil aerodinámico, una innovación radical desconocida en su momento pero común en la actualidad. Se pensó que Borzacchini tenía una buena oportunidad de alzarse con el prestigioso gran premio estadounidense, pero desafortunadamente, los problemas de magneto lo forzaron a abandonar la carrera después de tan solo tres vueltas. Sin embargo, Borzacchini y su Maserati se adjudicaron la victoria en el Gran Premio de Trípoli de 1930 y ganaron otra prueba de escalada, el Pontedecimo-Giovi en Génova.

En 1931 firmó para conducir los Alfa Romeo para la Scuderia Ferrari, donde se convirtió en un gran amigo de su compañero de equipo, Tazio Nuvolari. Aunque ganó el Circuito di Avellino, la temporada de Baconin Borzacchini se vio afectada por la mala suerte y por la brillantez de Nuvolari. Terminó segundo en la Targa Florio, en el Gran Premio de Monza y en los Grandes Premios de Italia, Bélgica y Francia.

En el Gran Premio de Francia de 1932 y en la Coppa Ciano, el nuevo Alfa Romeo P3 de Borzacchini terminó segundo (detrás de su compañero de equipo Nuvolari) y tercero en el Gran Premio de Alemania. Sin embargo, con su copiloto Amadeo Bignami, ganó la agotadora prueba de las Mille Miglia y terminó la temporada de 1932 finalizando en segundo lugar en la clasificación general del Campeonato de Europa de Pilotos tras Nuvolari. Cuando Alfa Romeo decidió retirarse de las carreras después de la temporada de 1932 y vendió sus coches a Enzo Ferrari, Borzacchini se unió al equipo de Maserati. Formando equipo con Luigi Fagioli y Giuseppe Campari, en marzo de 1933 continuó como el año anterior, terminando segundo tras Nuvolari en el Gran Premio de Túnez. En abril logró otro segundo puesto en el Gran Premio de Mónaco, esta vez tras el Bugatti de Achille Varzi, y después obtuvo un tercer puesto en el Avusrennen en Alemania, también ganado por Varzi. En la Targa Florio de 1933, celebrada en el Circuito Piccolo delle Madonie, Borzacchini marcó el ritmo con la vuelta más rápida, pero un accidente lo obligó a abandonar la carrera.

Fallecimiento
El 10 de septiembre de 1933 se vivió en el Autodromo Nazionale di Monza uno de los días más negros de la historia de las carreras. El Gran Premio de Italia se celebró por la mañana sin incidentes graves, y fue ganado por Luigi Fagioli. En un esfuerzo por parte de los organizadores para atraer a la mayor multitud posible, se organizó por la tarde otro evento llamado Gran Premio de Monza, que utilizaba solo el circuito ovalado. En una pista empapada por una ligera llovizna, Borzacchini estaba compitiendo por el liderato con su compañero de equipo, Giuseppe Campari, cuando el vehículo de Campari se deslizó sobre un parche de aceite y se estrelló en la parte superior de la pista y se fue a los árboles, matándolo.  Borzacchini intentó sin éxito evitar el aceite, y su auto giró hacia el interior y volcó. Borzacchini fue llevado al hospital, donde murió más tarde ese mismo día. Después de que los oficiales de la carrera reiniciaron el evento, se produjo la tercera tragedia del día, cuando el motor del automóvil del conductor polaco Stanislas Czaykowski explotó, se incendió a continuación y su coche se estrelló en el mismo lugar, resultando el piloto muerto abrasado por el fuego.

Durante sus años de carreras, Baconin Borzacchini participó en más de cien pruebas. Aunque su número de victorias es considerablemente menor que el de algunos de los otros notables pilotos de carreras italianos, fue muy querido y respetado por sus compatriotas. En su honor, el circuito en Magione en la Provincia de Perusa en Umbría, no lejos de donde nació, fue nombrado "Autodromo Mario Umberto Borzacchini".

Baconin Borzacchini está enterrado en el cementerio local de Terni.

The best guitar gear of 2011: guitars, amps, FX and more!
By Chris Vinnicombe 14 December 2011
The best guitar gear of 2011
Although December 2011 has so far proven to be considerably less snowbound in MusicRadar's corner of the UK compared to the bleak conditions we experienced this time last year, the weather looks like it might be about to go crazy just in time to ruin everyone's festive travel plans.
However, do not despair! Our glass of eggnog is most definitely half full, and when the weather outside is frightful it's all the excuse we need to spend plenty of time wrapped up warm indoors, playing the guitar.
In fiscal terms at least, 2011 has been relentlessly awful for the vast majority of the population. Yet there is hope. History shows us that troubled times are often the backdrop to great art, so we await such compositions as Eurozone Freefall Blues and My Heart Is Just Another Empty Retail Unit with interest and wish you, in all seriousness, a healthy and prosperous 2012.
So, without further ado, MusicRadar presents the best guitar gear of 2011. Much as we enjoyed deliberating over the award for Best Plectrum On A Tuesday, we've simplified the categories this time around. Based on gear reviewed by Guitarist and Total Guitar, and equipment that we've had first-hand experience of here at MusicRadar, here's an all-killer, no-filler guide to the finest guitar products of 2011, complete with honourable mentions and links to in-depth reviews.
Kicking things off with a bang, it's the award for the best electric guitar of 2011...
Fender Cabronita Telecaster (£1810.80)
Electric guitar of the year
Way back in January when we arrived in California for Winter NAMM 2011 a bleary-eyed mess of jetlag and Christmas excess, day one of the show proved to be an unexpected treat for Tele-addicts. Over on the Fender stand there were 12 amazing 'Tele-bration' Telecasters celebrating the 60th anniversary of the solidbody that started it all, with one instrument in particular capturing our imagination.
With Fender's Custom Shop La Cabronita Especial proving to be out of the reach of mere mortals and kick-starting a homebrew build-your-own explosion, it was only a matter of time before the company released a (comparatively) more affordable alternative. The Tele-bration Cabronita Telecaster may be limited edition, and its 22-fret neck isn't every guitarist's cup of Earl Grey, but the combination of TV Jones Filtertrons and a slab alder body flies as close to tone heaven as anything we've heard in a long, long time.
From Luther Perkins to Malcolm Young and Billy Gibbons via a simple twist of the volume knob, in a year when beautiful recreations of guitars played by Kurt Cobain and George Harrison have lead us into temptation, the Cabronita Telecaster provides discerning players with the raw material not ju st to channel killer guitar sounds of yore but also to forge their own signature sonic identity. What price a mass-produced version from Fender Mexico in 2012? Our fingers are well and truly crossed.

Blackstar HT-1R (£199)
Guitar amplifier of the year
2011 has been another year of fierce competition in the world of guitar amplification. The gigging guitarist has more choice than ever when it comes to affordable backline, but those small 'lunchbox' valve amplifiers keep coming thick and fast. If the worrying increase in the number of UK venues utilising volume limiters is anything to go by then the small amp is here to stay...
In the microscopically subjective world of guitar tone, it's so hard to find an amplifier with universal appeal, but honourable mentions for 2011 in this category go out to Fender's Mustang series, Hughes & Kettner's do-it-all Tubemeister 18, Orange's ferocious Dark Terror, and at the boutique end of the spectrum, Two-Rock's Gain Master 22 and Studio Pro 35. It's a little too early to tell whether or not Yamaha's innovative THR series amps will deliver on their game-changing potential, but they are certainly ones to watch. Also, be sure to look out for the Dr Z Maz 8 and the Mesa/Boogie Mini Rectifier in 2012; we can't wait to get our hands on them.
Although our recent Best Amplifier In The World Today poll proved that there's still plenty of life in tried-and-tested classics, when it comes to new-school success stories, in the class of 2011, there's one amp that stands head and shoulders above the rest, despite its diminutive proportions.
The awesome HT-1R has become such a fixture at so many of our practice and recording sessions and low-volume rehearsals that the realisation that it only came into our lives at the start of the year is a genuine shock. With street prices currently averaging out at around £170 or less, it's hard to imagine a guitarist who couldn't justify owning one.

Yamaha AC3R (£889)
Acoustic guitar of the year
Last year, the winner of this category was a foregone conclusion from April onwards thanks to the way that Martin's Guitarist Gold Award-winning 000-15M reduced the office to jelly. However, 2011 has seen much tougher competition and the recession has bitten hardest on the upper-mid price section of the market.
Yamaha's ability to manufacture entry-level acoustic guitars that offer staggering value for money for the home strummer has never been in any doubt, but it is important to remember that when the time comes to purchase a serious instrument for performance and recording, the company has plenty to offer here too.
Reviewed alongside the A1M dreadnought, Yamaha's concert-sized AC3R cutaway electro-acoustic was a real hit with the Guitarist team, earning 4.5 stars across the board and a Guitarist Choice Award into the bargain. A seriously impressive instrument for studio or stage use.

Manson Guitars John Paul Jones Signature E-Bass (£2099)
Bass of the year
Two basses really stood out this year for our resident bass guru, Roger Newell. Although Fender's 60th Anniversary P-Bass is close to perfection and an absolute must-try for anyone looking for a pro-level fretted four-string, it's a British luthier - in collaboration with one of the world's biggest bass names - who has won the day.
As well as building Matt Bellamy's guitars, Hugh Manson is the man behind the instruments favoured by none other than Led Zeppelin legend and recent Crooked Vulture John Paul Jones. Here's what Roger had to say about the Manson John Paul Jones Signature E-Bass:
"The JPJ positively oozes quality, not only in how it looks, but how it feels, plays and sounds too. Of course this all comes at a price, but at just over two grand (thanks partly to the Czech build) it's not the most expensive bass out there.
"So, if you want to sound like John Paul Jones or, better still, explore a whole new range of sounds from a beautiful and contemporary bass guitar then this is a great place to satisfy your needs."

TC Electronic Flashback (£125)
Guitar FX of the year
If, like us, you are the kind of guitar nerd who spends an unhealthy amount of time checking out other people's pedalboards on internet forums, you'll no doubt have noticed that the last couple of years have seen TC making serious inroads into the hearts and minds of effects-loving guitarists everywhere.
In 2010, the frankly brilliant PolyTune polyphonic tuner usurped the Boss TU-2 as the go-to stompbox tuner for gigging guitarists. Then NAMM 2011 saw the company announce a range of feature-packed compact stompboxes that not only emulated a library of classic sounds but brought the humble effects pedal format bang up to date with innovative TonePrint technology.
Guitarist described the Flashback as "a contender for the most versatile compact stompbox delay available", and it packs and unbelievable variety of great delay sounds and impressive functionality into a box that's the same size as your average single-function overdrive pedal. Seriously impressive, if you are shopping for a delay pedal in 2012, this is a must-try.

Apple GarageBand for iOS (£2.99)
Guitar accessory of the year
If you are a guitarist who owns a compatible iOS device, there is no excuse for not owning this.
Just six years ago, the desktop version of GarageBand was a major factor in this writer's decision to make the jump from PC to Mac. Fast-forward to 2011 and there's a version for mobile devices that costs less than a pint of beer. We're not sure whether to rejoice the imminent arrival of hoverboards for all, or lament the fact that you can't get a decent pint for much less than four quid anywhere within walking distance of this office...
We first got hands-on with the excellent amp simulations in GarageBand for iPad back in March, then the recent, inevitable introduction of the iPhone and iPod touch-compatible version sealed the deal. Now everything we need for silent practice and fleshing out demo recordings is contained in one app that we carry around in our pocket every day. Make no mistake, it will make you a more productive musician. For iPhone owners, GarageBand is the no-brainer purchase of the decade so far, and the only decision left to make is which iOS audio interface suits you best.
