J-Live – "Eleven Nine" (@RealJLive / 2016)
In the wake of Trump's election win, the NY-raised wordsmith delivers some timely rhymes on this self-produced cut off his forthcoming "At The Date Of This Writing (Vol. 1)" project.
Tagged East Coast Hip-Hop, Independent Hip-Hop, J-Live, Mortier Music, Underground Hip-Hop
100 Best Albums & EPs Of 2015 (Part Four) – Oddisee / Starvin B / Jack Diggs etc.
Check Part One, Part Two and Part Three.
Oddisee – "The Good Fight" (Mello Music Group) – As much an insight into the struggles and emotional conflicts of an independent musician as it was a study of the human experience, this brilliant album from producer-on-the-mic Oddisee found the Maryland music man crafting a project that was grand in its intentions without being pretentious or self-absorbed. Full of real heart and soul, "The Good Fight" was both honest and life-affirming. A true artistic triumph.
Ockz – "The Stuyvesant Chronicles" (Ockz.BandCamp.Com) – It could be argued that this project from Brooklyn's Ockz was more a mixtape than a finished album considering it featured the emcee rhyming straight over untouched classics from the likes of Bob James, 24 Carat Black and David Axelrod. But "The Stuyvesant Chronicles" was so well executed, that to simply label it as a mixtape may give the impression that it was a disposable, here-today-gone-tomorrow release. When in fact, this was essential listening for fans of raw New York straight talk.
MNSR Frites – "The River Wandle" (MNSRFrites.BandCamp.Com) – Granville Sessions member Frites went for dolo on this impressive release, with the London lyricist dropping verses filled with dry humour and wit over chunky, largely jazz-infused production from Sam Zircon, Krang, Mr. Slipz and more.
Vursatyl – "Crooked Straights" (BBE Music) – A concept album of sorts aiming to balance the two sides of Vursatyl's personality, the Polo-wearing, ego-driven rapper and the more thoughtful husband and father, "Crooked Straights" proved that, whichever aspect of his character the Portland, Oregon wordsmith chose to display, his prowess on the microphone remained consistently impressive. Backed by a quality selection of full- bodied beats ranging from melodic Dilla-influenced soundscapes to raw, dusty-fingered boom-bap, the Blackalicious affiliate managed to carry on golden-era
tradition whilst remaining free enough to still push creative boundaries.
Your Old Droog – "Kinison" (Droog Recordings) – A loosely rock-themed effort from the Brooklyn representative, "Kinison" found Droog following-up his 2014 success with another dose of pure, unadulterated wordplay, lacing production from DJ Skizz, El RTNC and Marco Polo with seemingly effortless displays of creative lyricism, packed with vivid imagery and deadpan wit.
Flame Griller – "II" (Flamegriller.BandCamp.Com) – Talented, down-to-earth and ultimately likeable, this West Yorkshire trio crafted a sample-driven rough diamond of an album for their sophomore effort. Covering both amusing and poignant subject matter in a way that made the listener feel as if they were involved in a conversation between close friends, this British crew occupied their own creative space within the UK scene by remaining honest and true to themselves at all times.
LostPoet & Kincee – "Golden Calf – Special Edition" (IronBlade Music Group) – Originally dropping on New Year's Eve 2014, this impressive collaborative effort from Cali wordsmith LostPoet and Louisiana-raised rhymer Kincee was given the re-release treatment late-2015 with bonus cuts. Featuring heavy-mental lyricism delivered over atmospheric boom-bap from the likes of Giallo Point, PhybaOptikz and Vic Grimes, "Golden Calf" stood as a strong example of intelligent, creative street music.
BADBADNOTGOOD & Ghostface Killah – "Sour Soul" (Lex Records) – Wu-Tang icon Ghostface's collabo with Canadian band BADBADNOTGOOD was a musically rich, lyrically vivid collection of suspenseful tracks that felt like the Wally Champ had stumbled across the soundtrack to an unreleased James Bond-influenced 70s blaxploitation flick. Further proof (if it was needed) that Ghost remains one of the game's most consistent emcees, "Sour Soul" added another chamber to the Shaolin representative's already bulletproof discography.
Scor-zay-zee – "Aeon: Peace To The Puzzle" (Scorzilla.Com) – To describe this project from veteran Nottingham emcee Scor-zay-zee as being 'long-awaited' or 'heavily-anticipated' was, in this instance, no overstatement. Since his 90s debut as a member of OutDaVille, Scorz has stood as one of the UK's most talented lyricists. Clocking in at a mammoth 28-tracks, this double-album more than lived up to expectations, with the Notts artist delivering intricately-crafted, multi-layered verses over impeccable production from the likes of The P Brothers, Juga-Naut and DJ Fever.
Joey Bada$$ – "B4.Da.$$ (Cinematic Music Group) – Backed by production from the likes of DJ Premier, Freddie Joachim and J Dilla, Brooklyn young gun Joey Bada$$ went some way to bridging Hip-Hop's generation gap with his official debut album, drawing on sonic 90s influences for inspiration whilst ensuring his lyrical content reflected the present day by incorporating sincere sentiments and personal observations into the music. BK all day.
Starvin B – "7 Train Lungs" (Top Shelf Muzik) – Capturing the raw, authentic essence of Rotten Apple Hip-Hop without having to continuously talk about 'bringing New York back', for the third of his four 2015 releases Starvin B teamed-up with talented producer Seasra23, with the fellow Queens resident pairing the lyrical NY attitude on offer here with a quality selection of unique, memorable beats.
Dirt Platoon – "Bare Face Robbery" (Effiscienz) – Baltimore's Raf Almighty and Snook Da Crook delivered the sonic equivalent of a heavy-handed right-hook to the domepiece with this rugged blast of gritty East Coast black-hoodie rap. Combining thunderous beats with their gruff lyrical styles, the duo personified the term 'hardcore' throughout this project. Music to scuff your Timberlands to.
Jeepz & Kay Flow – "Future Nostalgia" (KayFlow.BandCamp.Com) – West Coast emcee Kay Flow joined forces with Canadian producer Jeepz to deliver a solid combination of intelligent lyricism and quality beats , with "Future Nostalgia" living up to its title by effectively drawing inspiration from Hip-Hop's golden-era whilst capturing what the music and culture still have to offer.
Stig Of The Dump – "Kubrick" (Lewis Recordings) – Self-proclaimed "international man of leisure" Stig Of The Dump veered between larger-than-life arrogance and access-all-areas self-deprecation on his latest effort, with "Kubrick" possessing an emotional edge that made the listener feel as if the UK emcee had really taken you on a sonic journey by the time the album's final track faded away.
William Cooper – "God's Will" (Gemstarr Regime) – New Jersey-based Black Market Militia member Cooper called on lyrical allies such as Pace Won, Planet Asia and the late Sean Price to help wake-up those still sleep-walking through the Matrix on this BP-produced album. Razor-sharp rhymes met rugged soundscapes throughout this project, ensuring "God's Will" stood-out as one of 2015's most intense listening experiences.
J-Live – "How Much Is Water?" (Mortier Music) – The second full-length project from the NY-raised, Atlanta-based emcee to drop in 2015, "How Much Is Water?" found J-Live once again dropping clever, thought-provoking verses over an eclectic selection of self-produced tracks.
Apollo Brown – "Grandeur" (Mello Music Group) – Featuring a varied line-up of guest emcees, including M.O.P., Ras Kass and Eternia, "Grandeur" effectively showcased the musical prowess of Detroit's Apollo Brown, with the Motor City native pulling together the many voices heard here with his trademark brand of drum-heavy, soul-laced production, resulting in a cohesive, head-nodding package.
Verb T & Illinformed – "The Man With The Foggy Eyes" (High Focus Records) – Long considered one of the UK's most talented emcees, this Illinformed-produced project from Verb T further reinforced that status amongst his fans. Perceptive, self-aware, honest, humourous and more, the Four Owls member covered plenty of creative ground on this sterling effort.
Jack Diggs – "Blue Rain" (Revorg Records) – Having already become something of a cult figure within UK Hip-Hop circles thanks to both his solo work (2013's impressive "Dirty Finger Nails" album) and contributions to the output of South London's TPS Fam, Diggs' latest long-player was a sublime slice of homegrown excellence. More than just a collection of quality tracks, "Blue Rain" was a cohesive, well-crafted body of work that offered listeners a striking, down-to-earth musical snapshot of life for many in today's modern Britain.
Venomous2000 – "Will To Power" (Venomous2000.BandCamp.Com) – Positive energy activates constant elevation. That appeared to be the overall message behind New Jersey emcee Venomous2000's ninth full-length solo album. Thoughtful, intelligent and sincere, "Will To Power" succeeded in its aim to enrich the lives of those who heard it, with Venomous2000 presenting himself as an artist who firmly believes in the power Hip-Hop has to have a lasting, beneficial impact on its audience.
Part Five coming soon.

2016 EPK – J-Live
NY-raised, Atlanta-based microphone vet J-Live drops science on both his career so-far and his relationship with Hip-Hop.
100 Best Albums & EPs Of 2015 (Part One) – Triple Darkness / Sadat X / J-Live etc.
It's hard to believe, but even with the amount of quality releases that dropped throughout 2015, there are still people claiming that there isn't any worthwhile or memorable Hip-Hop being made today.
I've always found that way of thinking frustrating, as there has never been a time when there wasn't good music to be found, but in recent years that argument has become increasingly redundant due to the ever-growing number of talented emcees, deejays and producers out there who're consistently delivering the goods.
Of course, in today's digital age, there will always be a huge amount of sub-par material being regularly pumped out via popular platforms such as BandCamp and YouTube, and the mainstream, for the most part, continues to promote the same shallow, one-dimensional rap that it always has done.
But that being said, if you genuinely feel there isn't anything out there for you as a fan of Hip-Hop, the problem isn't necessarily with the music, the issue is with those same fans not listening and looking hard enough when it comes to new material.
As I always say when I put these year-end pieces together, the albums and EPs included here aren't the only releases that were worthy of attention, but this list does reflect what stayed in heavy rotation for me personally.
So, in no particular order, here are the artists and projects that made my speakers thump throughout 2015…
Triple Darkness – "Darker Than Black" (KingUnderground / Suspect Packages) – Cementing their reputation as one of the most talented crews in Hip-Hop, this album from London's Triple Darkness was a brilliantly-crafted hardcore masterpiece. With group members such as Melanin 9, Cyrus Malachi and Ray Vendetta spitting sharp lyrical darts over gloriously uncompromising production from the likes of Ringz Ov Saturn and 7th Dan, "Darker Than Black" was a shining example of intelligent, underground Hip-Hop at its very best.
Lord Hakim – "Born With A Determined Idea" (LordHakim.BandCamp.Com) – Following in the footsteps of Rakim, Lakim Shabazz and Brand Nubian, Columbus, Ohio wordsmith Lord Hakim proudly repped for the Five Percent Nation throughout this self-produced album, dropping science on the everyday struggle with both passion and insight. Peace to the Gods!
The Cornel West Theory – "Coming From The Bottom" (TheCornelWestTheory.BandCamp.Com) – Hailing from Washington DC, The Cornel West Theory delivered an instense, no-holds-barred listening experience with this lengthy album. Showcasing the group's thoughts on politics, race and Hip-Hop in 2015 America, "Coming From The Bottom" channeled the spirit of late-80s Public Enemy and BDP, whilst clearly standing strong as a product of the present day.
Big Toast – "The Wedding Fund LP" (Revorg Records) – So you've proposed to your significant other, your pockets are flat not fat, and now you have a wedding to plan for. What do you do? In the case of UK emcee Big Toast, you hit the studio and release a dope album to raise cash for your big event. Combining the London lyricist's blunt, working-class worldview and dry humour with quality production from Sam Zircon, Strange Neighbour and Ill Move Sporadic, "The Wedding Fund LP" was guaranteed to hit the spot both in sickness and in health.
Sadat X – "Never Left" (Loyalty Digital Corp) – The Brand Nubian member proved yet again why he's considered one of the game's most timeless artists on his eighth full-length solo project. Steeped in NY pride and featuring appearances from Cormega, Craig G and Black Sheep's Dres, "Never Left" found the Wild Cowboy drawing on both industry and personal experiences to craft an album that resonated with traditional Rotten Apple flavour.
Paul Nice & Phill Most Chill – "The Fabreeze Brothers" (AE Productions) – If you came-up listening to Hip-Hop in the 80s, still insist on matching your sneakers with your outfit, and regularly use slang like 'fresh' and 'fly', then this collabo album from NY's Paul Nice and Illadelphia's Phill Most Chill was made with you in mind. Capturing the excitement and purity of old-school Hip-Hop with an infectious passion, the pair succeeded in their mission to pay tribute to the foundations of the culture whilst still bringing something unique to the table. Warning – this album should only be listened to whilst standing in a b-boy stance.
Oliver Sudden – "Phenomenaler Steaz" (BoomBapPro.Com) – Straight outta Croydon, South London (aka The Cronx), the talented Sudden utilised his understated, deadpan delivery to great effect on this aptly-titled project, spitting true-school sentiments over top-drawer production from the likes of Giallo Point, Sam Zircon and Downstroke.
Flip – "Reflections" (Ill Adrenaline Records) – With a sound rooted in golden-era boom-bap and mixed with soulful sensibilities, veteran Austrian producer Flip called on heavyweight emcees such as DITC's AG, Detroit's Phat Kat and Wu-Tang affiliate Killah Priest to bless his well-crafted soundscapes on this cohesive package of underground flavour.
The Four Owls – "Natural Order" (High Focus Records) – Showing off their impressive lyrical wingspans once again, Verb T, Fliptrix, Leaf Dog and BVA collectively swooped down on the UK Hip-Hop scene for a second time with their sophomore crew album, gaining production support from none other than Gang Starr legend DJ Premier and reducing the so-called competition to mere bird seed in the process.
Large Professor – "Re:Living" (Fat Beats) – Whilst the term 'legend' perhaps gets thrown around a little too easily nowadays, self-proclaimed live-guy-with-glasses Extra P is an individual truly deserving of the title. Having had an impact on 90s Hip-Hop that is still being felt today, the Queens, NY resident came correct in 2015, proving ain't a damn thing changed but the year. With an approach to his craft that remains untainted and uninfluenced by rap's mainstream circus, Large Pro's "Re:Living" showcased the sound of an artist who really keeps it real…to himself.
Supastition – "Gold Standard" (Reform School Music) – One of the most consistent emcees of the new millennium, the career of North Carolina-raised lyricist Supastition has undoubtedly contained its fair share of ups-and-downs. Yet throughout, Supa has maintained his honesty and integrity, making music that resonates with fans who are looking for Hip-Hop they can relate to. "Gold Standard" most definitely continued that tradition. Featuring beats from Praise, MoSS and Jonny Cuba, this album found the newest Soundsci member once again dealing with everyday issues, whilst also taking the opportunity to indulge in some good ol'-fashioned braggin' and boastin'.
DJ Soko – "Domino Effect" (Left Of Center) – Pulling together an impressive array of talent which included Guilty Simpson, Apollo Brown and Rasheed Chappell, Michigan native Soko's debut project was a robust, speaker-rattling collection of thunderground excellence which avoided the hit-and-miss pitfalls of similar compilation-style releases.
Definite Mass – "Soul Caliber" (Manifest Recordings) – Living up to its title both musically and lyrically, this gem of an album found West Coast wordsmith Definite Mass delivering personal and sincere verses over melodic boom-bap beats, with the likes of Blu and Supreme Cerebral passing by to offer microphone assistance.
Kaimbr – "Bronze Horse" (Kaimbr.BandCamp.Com) – Maryland resident Kaimbr paid homage to Staten Island's mighty Wu-Tang on this brilliantly-executed concept album, with the Low Budget crew member transforming into his alter-ego Wu Kaim to practice his well-honed microphone martial arts over dusty, Shaolin soul samples.
White Mic – "Do It How You Wanna Do It" (Solidarity Records) – A distinctly personal collection of beats and rhymes, Bored Stiff member White Mic's "Do It…" found the Cali-based emcee celebrating Hip-Hop's potential to inspire and motivate, pouring his own life experiences into his music with memorable and emotionally-charged results.
AKD & Deepstar – "Universal Language" (Monad Records) – Seeking to demonstrate the power Hip-Hop has to speak to people from all walks of life, UK emcee Arise King David and Australian producer Deepstar called on the likes of Rapsody, DJ Rob Swift and Phoenix Da Icefire to help make their point, resulting in an overall uplifting listening experience grounded in golden-era sonic values.
J-Live – "His Own Self" (Mortier Music) – Since his mid-90s debut as part of the NY indie scene, the now Atlanta-based J-Live has consistently released intelligent, creative Hip-Hop, with the veteran wordsmith never afraid to show both artistic and personal growth in his music. "His Own Self", the first of Live's two full-length 2015 releases, continued to follow that pattern. Entirely self-produced and with no guest appearances, this album found the talented artist covering a variety of topics, ranging from personal finances ("Old S**t") and teenage memories ("Red & The Kid") to America's racial climate ("I Am A Man").
DJ Wally Pish Posh & T.R.A.C. – "Operation: Revibe" (DJWallyPishPosh.BandCamp.Com) – With a grand plan to "set Hip-Hop back on its path to greatness", NY duo Pish Posh and T.R.A.C. definitely went some way to achieving their goal with this pure, organic demonstration of the pair's shared love and appreciation of Hip-Hop culture. Determined to provide listeners with a healthy musical alternative to the shallow waters of the mainstream, this producer / emcee combo definitely brought the best out of each other throughout this release.
Blak Twang & Blackmale Beats – "The Pantheon EP" – Embracing his elder statesman status within the UK Hip-Hop scene, homegrown legend Tony Rotten teamed-up with London production outfit Blackmale Beats for this stirring six-track release. Whether dealing with social issues ("Elevation"), recounting personal dramas ("Highs & Lows") or reliving Hip-Hop memories ("Classiq Moments"), Twang's authoritative verses were given even greater impact thanks to Blackmale's ability to match the lyrical content on offer here with just the right musical tone and mood. Rottonous, indeed.

Black Unemployment Rate Hurt By Whites Doing Favors For Friends
Race Matters: High Black Unemployment Rates Are Compounded By White Folks Hoarding Job Opportunities Within Their Social Circles
Posted on March 30, 2013 - By Bossip Staff
We've been aware of how "white privilege" works in this country for years, but a new book is changing the way the country looks at the high rates of black unemployment.
Via HuffPo reports:
Racism and racial inequality aren't just supported by old ideas, unfounded group esteem or intentional efforts to mistreat others, said Nancy DiTomaso, author of the new book, The American Non-Dilemma: Racial Inequality Without Racism. They're also based on privilege, she said — how it is shared, how opportunities are hoarded and how most white Americans think their career and economic advantages have been entirely earned, not passed down or parceled out.
The way that whites, often unconsciously, hoard and distribute advantage inside their almost all white networks of family and friends is one of the driving reasons that in February just 6.8 percent of white workers remained unemployed while 13.8 percent of black workers and 9.6 percent of Hispanic workers were unable to find jobs, DiTomaso said.
"Across all three states where I did my research, I heard over and over again [white] people admitting that they don't interact very often with nonwhites, not at work, not at home or otherwise," said DiTomaso about the 246 interviews with working-class and middle-class whites she did over the course of about a decade in Tennessee, Ohio and New Jersey. Her research included detailed job histories and information about the way her study participants obtained jobs over the course of their careers.
"That was true for just about everybody unless they were still in college," DiTomaso continued. "Others would allude to some college friend or experience. But since then, they had not had much contact with blacks. So how would they pass opportunities and information across race lines?"
DiTomaso concludes, based on her research, that most white Americans engage, at least a few times per year, in the activities that foster inequality. While they may not deliberately discriminate against black and other non-white job seekers, they take actions that make it more likely that white people will be employed — without thinking that what they're doing amounts to discrimination.
"The vast majority assumed everyone has the same opportunities, and they just somehow tried harder, were smarter," DiTomaso said of those she interviewed. "Not seeing how whites help other whites as the primary way that inequality gets reproduced today is very helpful. It's easy on the mind."
So white Americans tell a neighbor's son about a job, hire a friend's daughter, carry the resume of a friend (or, for that matter, a friend's boyfriend's sister) into the boss's office, recommend an old school mate or co-worker for an unadvertised opening, or just say great things about that job applicant whom they happen to know. But since most Americans, white and black, live virtually segregated lives, and since advantages, privileges and economic progress have already accrued in favor of whites, the additional advantages that flow from this help go almost exclusively to whites, DiTomaso said.
Sounds like if you're black and you don't have a job, you may want to start making some white friends.

11 Spring Street Building Art Show, New York
The 11 Spring Street building, a massive former carriage house that had become an architectural canvas for many street artists from the now famous Banksy to Swoon and untold nameless minions is now going condo.
In an effort to sweeten the pill, the building's developers have invited artists for a fatalist 3-day show inside the building with the help of street art gurus Wooster Collective.

Have Winning Lottery Numbers Ever Been Repeated?
Are Winning Lottery Numbers Repeated?
Yes, any set of numbers can be repeated. Lottery balls have no memory, they don't remember if they got drawn last week or any other week. That means, mathematically speaking, they have just as much chance of being drawn again this week.
In fact, mathematically speaking, last weeks winning numbers have exactly the same chance of being drawn again this week.
So why does it 'never happen'?
Because the chances of those numbers being drawn again are exactly the same as the chances of any other set of numbers being drawn. And that's why it "never" happens. Not because they are now suddenly less likely, but because there are millions of other combinations each just as likely to come up.
If you throw a 6, then roll again, are you now more or less likely to get a 6?
The 6 is still there on the dice exactly the same as it was before. So of course, it still has the same 1 in 6 chance of being rolled. There is more chance of 'not rolling a 6', but only because there are 5 other numbers there. Just like before you rolled the 6 in the first place.
So yes, any set of numbers can be repeated. But they are not more or less likely to be drawn again just because they have appeared before.
So has it ever happened?
Yes, it has. More than you might think.
Take the US Powerball for example, the numbers 15, 22, 24, 32, 39 and Powerball 18 were first drawn on 3rd April 1993. The exact same numbers were drawn again on 27th December 2000 (thanks Bruce).
So yes, the Powerball numbers have repeated! Bear in mind this is for a game with extremely tough odds. So if it can happen for that game, it can happen for any game.
If you think this was crazy, there has also been a Pick 6 game where winning lottery numbers repeated the very next draw – you can read about it here.
There is some danger in this. Some people think winning numbers are more likely to be drawn again, so they teach that to other people. Problem is, these myths get around, and then lots of people end up doing the same thing.
 P.S. I know I keep saying 'mathematically speaking'. The reason is too complex to get into in depth here. But we're assuming a perfectly random draw, whereas it is theoretically possible for some bias to exist in any lottery draw. It doesn't really change the answer in terms of repeat numbers (i.e. that combinations being drawn does not in itself make them more or less likely), but it can mean certain numbers are slightly more or less likely than others. In theory. Whew!
Of course numbers will repeat, but out of the possible 14 million outcomes, you will never get 14 million outcomes. You will only get 2 thirds, approx 9.3 million. This is the same with most games of chance. But this won't help you win the lotto. This is called the law of third.
Take a dice roll for example. Are you really saying if you keep on rolling that dice two of the six numbers will NEVER come up..?
Ultimately all combinations will get drawn on the lottery. But we'll all be long dead by the time it happens.
Yes we will all be dead before all combos come up, so with regards to the Lotto the best bet would be to pick a combo that has never been drawn I guess. But which one. To wittle it down I would say you could discount all numbers like 1,2,3,4,5,6 etc. Look at the most common sections. Everything is beatable with the right bank roll and knowledge.
You're making the same classic mistake most lottery system sellers rely on to peddle their junk.
Keep playing the same numbers, if they don't come in, then god don't want you to win.
Why do your lottery numbers have to add up to 177 or greater?
The "177 or greater" forces you to spread it out more, although I think that number is a bit high (I would say 145+ myself). People tend to pick "easily remembered" numbers like birthdays, but that eliminates half the numbers available (and therefore any winning combination that includes those numbers).
I have been buying quick picks for the last three months for the California Super Lotto Plus Game. None of the tickets have been winners. Should I continue to buy quick picks or start choosing my own numbers.
If you pick your own you can aim to avoid picking popular lottery numbers. Or you can attempt to predict numbers (just bear in mind there is no such thing as a proven prediction method). But if you don't want to go down those rabbit holes, quick picks just aren't that bad.
Hi Lottery adviser, I had been playing the lottery, even though I had won some money on my own numbers like the pick 4 lottery in Philadelphia, but since then I can't win again. I play the same numbers for seven months, and no win for me. Can I know what to do next?
Playing the same numbers doesn't actually increase your chances of winning James. Think of it like rolling a dice – you can stick to the same number or change every roll, there are still 6 sides on the dice whichever you choose.
Keep playing your own set, and a quick pick along with it = cover both sides.
Is it wise to play lotto numbers that have occurred as winning numbers in previous draw? Is it possible that a winning number will ever occur again? In your lifetime.
Hmm, you didn't read the article above before asking the question now did you ;-).
In pure maths terms, past results have exactly the same chance as any other result of being drawn again.
When you roll a dice and get a 6, your chances of getting 6 again in future are still 1-in-6. They haven't changed.
Yes, some of the numbers that won in the previous draw may come up again. But, since lotto is random by nature, you may use one or two numbers of the previous draw and hope for the best. I play Philippine lotto 6/42 and I just won 2 3#s and 1 4-number prizes using a wheeling system of 13 #s, with a win guarantee that if you pick 3#s out of the 6 winning numbers, you will win at least a minimum of 3-number prize. This time I picked 4 numbers giving me above prizes.
I just hit 5 of 6 in the Florida Lotto. I've been playing the same 5 sets of numbers every drawing for four months. Question is should I retire the winning set, or is there even a slim chance that set could win again?
Who picks the lottery numbers? And how do we know that they don't have all the numbers people picked on their tickets right in front of them while they are picking the winning numbers ? I think it's fair that the winning numbers got picked on national TV just so we know they're random picked.
It depends which game it is. Some are picked using a mechanical draw machine, others use a computer. None are picked manually by humans :-). There is a lot of security around numbers being selected, including auditors to ensure things are done fairly.
Repeated Winning Powerball Lottery Numbers. To date, one pair of winning Powerball lottery tickets match all 6 numbers (Jackpot).
To date, one pair of winning Powerball Lottery tickets match the first 5 of 6 numbers (2nd Prize).
And three pairs of winning Powerball Lottery tickets repeat 4 of the first 5 numbers plus the Powerball (3rd Prize).
Repeated Winning Mega Millions Lottery Numbers.
To date, no pair of winning Mega Millions Lottery tickets match the first 5 numbers plus the Mega Ball (Jackpot).
To date, no pair of winning Mega Millions Lottery tickets match the first 5 numbers (2nd Prize).
Wow… this is a lot! Is there any significance to the drawings in relation to the dates? Just checking for insight as I get headaches trying to figure it out! Do you have an idea of what date to look at next?


World renowned child star and former U.S. Ambassador Shirley Temple Black passed away at age 85 on Tuesday.
Max spoke to the Black family publicist Cheryl Kagan about her memories of Temple.
Kagan, who knew Black personally, said that she had lived a happy, full, and busy life.
"I think what you saw on the screen and on the air was the real Shirley Temple. She was a kind, charismatic, wonderful mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and had been married for 55 years to the late Charles Alden Black. She was an amazing actress, author, and ambassador, and I think her movies are timeless."
Kagan also says that America needed Temple Black at the time she rose to stardom as she was able to "take people's cares away."
Her transition to politics and diplomacy also wasn't as unexpected as it might seem. "She actually co-starred in a movie with Ronald Reagan... She was an amazing woman who could recreate herself and reinvent herself."
Black's postings as a U.S. Ambassador included stints in Ghana and the former Czechoslovakia. But her experiences as a child star never left her. "She grew up in Hollywood, that was a part of who she was."

Hello Friend!
The first major step I took towards claiming the life I deeply felt was meant for me, a life with more joy, more wellbeing and more purpose, was leaving behind my 7-year career as criminal lawyer at the prosecutors office. I was scared beyond words, because that life also felt really far and I had no idea how to get there. I knew I had to trust, but I also had to pay my bills.
Choosing to take that leap, even though at the time I felt I had not tools to build that life, activated something new within me. Courage, a deep knowing and so much energy for what was to follow.
The next big shift point that forever changed my relationship with myself and life came about 3 years later, when I decided to allow myself to truly feel the parts of my life where I was letting myself down. It's an experience I don't really talk about, because it's very personal. I had found myself in a situation that some would describe as being utterly betrayed, alone and powerless. I was living abroad and felt like I had no options.
The choice that I made that day changed everything, because instead of seeing myself as a victim of my circumstances, I decided to understand where I was actually betraying and abandoning myself… so that I wouldn't repeat it ever again. My relationship with myself and life forever changed, because I decided to take responsibility for my experience.
I chose to accept that I don't need to be a victim, that I cannot keep running away from my own truth and that I do have the capacity to create the life I've been seeing in my visions and dreams.
You see, I've been intuitive and very sensitive ever since I can remember. I've always been able to feel emotions and energies of people, I could see their blueprint, I was able to recognise false paradigms. But I hadn't committed to fully living my truth and embodying my gifts, because I was afraid I'd be rejected and misunderstood. And well, that's exactly what happened.
Fear has been my companion ever since childhood, when I realised that most of the people around me saw the world differently, they couldn't feel the subtleties that I could, they weren't connected to energies and other dimensions as I was. They didn't truly see me.
But. Actually, I was the one who needed to truly see myself first.
I could tell you about so many times in my life when I was so scared that it froze me – of speaking on stage (because then everybody would see how uncomfortable I was and I would faint from all the fear), of singing (because my voice would crack and my throat contract if I even thought of sharing my voice with people), the anxiety when starting something unknown (because…. I don't even know why), of travelling by myself (because I'd probably get lost or something really bad would happen), of diving under water or jumping in from higher ground (because of Atlantean memories of drowning)…
Yet I took the steps anyway. Just usually with a major delay and that's ok.
I'm no different from many sensitives when it comes to fear, anxiety and overwhelm – they're more often than not part of my experience.
But from the moment I embraced them and decided to listen to their message in full presence, my whole world opened up. I don't get frozen anymore (at least not for long), quite the opposite. My gifts opened up. My joy expanded.
And I began knowing the feeling of belonging to myself in a way that transcends spirit and includes this physical body and the material world as well.
I wish that experience for everyone!
How my community sees me (and I'm SO grateful!):
Very simply put, Maja is an amazing woman! I love everything about her. She's my closest Soul sister and supportive friend ever since we've met. I'm very grateful for working and traveling together in the past few years. Being so close to her gave me a chance to get to know her in her depths. She's highly intuitive, responsible, sensitive and devoted to her soul mission with her whole being. She's a woman of great integrity and pure, compassionate heart. In her high frequency presence I always felt safe to share and open myself all the way, as trusting women was one of my core wounds I needed to heal. I would highly recommend working with her to anyone that feels connection to her and her offerings. I'm truly honoured to have her in my life as my best friend and beloved sister.
Kaja Graj, Intuitive Artist at Kailani Source Light Codes Art
Maja's connection to the energies & spirit has always felt very true for me. Her ability to hold space & show up for her soul work I find inspiring, as I know what it takes for her to share it with us. And her Light Language activations touch my soul deeply in ways my head does not understand. She is supportive, gentle & kind in her approach, which I appreciate very much.
Katie Brockhurst, Social Media Mentor, Award Winning Author of 'Social Media for a New Age'
Since the moment I have met Maja, looking into her eyes, listening to her downloads feels like finally coming home. To my tribe. Doing my life mission of inspiring souls to awake is really fulfilling, but to be truly honest I get exhausted too. Maja guides me to where I reconnect with myself and recharge for my next mission. Grateful for ALL, dearest Maja!
Saša Božič, Sophia Academy Founder, Corporate Wellness Coach, Author, Speaker
Maja's work is unbelievable. There are so many coaches, healers and mentors out there and I worked with dozens of them. Maja has the unique capability to really, really see you for who you truly are. And this is the greatest medicine for this world. I have only experienced this with 1 or 2 other people in my life and working with Maja was really heart-opening and real. Maja translates into words what many of us can only feel. Her spectrum of feeling and understanding is vast.
She is so devoted to her work and her mission and she shines from her deepest core, which makes you want to shine from deep within as well. Authenticity and truth are the words that come to my mind when thinking about Maja. Maja is a person that you immediately trust, she creates a sacred space for you to unveil who you truly are and she gives you the tools to carry this message out into this world. Thank you, Maja, you are so unique and you always make me feel like being home.
Milena Dubs, Transformational Coach, Holistic Healer, Feminine Embodiment Educator
Maja is the real raw honest authentic energy leading this world into this new earth. She talks with you, not at you. She shares all her love and all her light in alignment towards a trajectory of Higher Truth Love and Life.
Todd Medina, Soulogy Network
Maja is such a deeply embodied example of a new-paradigm entrepreneur: completely authentic in her self-expression, fully surrendered to the unprecedented unfolding of her deepest truth at every turn, playing simultaneously on both the energetic and material planes, and fully honoring her humanity and her divinity, herself and the whole, each step of the way.
Her frequency activations, her spot-on articulations about what's happening in the energetic influxes and shifts, her ego-melting/soul-opening meditations, and the online programs she's held such incredible space for have helped me melt into higher vibrations, embrace an entirely new way of creating and being of service, and understand how beautiful and beneficial it is to show up in this new way.
If you are interested in being authentically yourself, experiencing the profound joy and abundance of sharing your most natural gifts with the world, and receiving an infinitude of love and nourishing energetic support as you go, I would highly recommend Maja and her work… her offerings, the field she creates, and the example she provides are a magical combination for helping you to discover, create, and share your most authentic self, and your most soul-inspired creations with the world.

Trip Down Memory Lane
This trip down memory lane has been compiled from the early newsletters of the GVMA
The GVMA owes its thanks to a young and overly ambitious Mustang owner that was swept up in the Mustang craze at the first Mustang show he entered. Back in September of 1980 this young Mustanger travelled to Lethbridge, Alberta to attend the first International Mustang Meet. This is where this young Mustanger (he became the first President of the GVMA) met another gentleman (he became the first Vice President of the GVMA) from the Vancouver area of British Columbia.
After three days of talking to people dedicated to their Mustang Clubs he returned to Vancouver with overwhelming enthusiasm to start a Mustang Club. He soon learned that this was not an easy task as others had tried it before, lost interest and gave up after only a few months.
As this young Mustanger did not want to bite off more than he could chew he thought that he would create a club for the local area. This new club was the North Shore Mustangers. The local area club didn't last long, within a month members were coming form all over the Greater Vancouver area.
The GVMA owes its thanks to a young and overly ambitious Mustang owner that was swept up in the Mustang craze at the first Mustang show he entered.
In the early days of 1981 an ad was placed in the local Buy & Sell and notices were mailed to members of a former local club called the Mustang Owners Association, announcing a meeting to be held on February 20th at the Sheraton Villa Hotel.
The meeting was to organize a new club. About 30 people were in attendance. It was decided that there needed to be a more central location to hold the meetings. Following this meeting, meetings were being held in Burnaby at Mach 1 Enterprises Ltd.
The files of the GVMA contain the first newsletters of the club. The first 10 consisted of a single typed page. The second newsletter was on the Mustang Owners Association letterhead. The first recorded executive minutes are dated May 10, 1981. This meeting took place at a picnic bench at Sasquatch Provincial Park on Harrison Lake, 10 members were in attendance.
The name of the new club was still undecided. Some of the names that were tossed about were; Lower Mainland Mustang Club, Greater Vancouver Mustang, Pacific Pony Club and Pacific Mustang.
The name, Greater Vancouver Mustang Association was finally decided. The club now needed an address, the president agreed to use his address for the club. His mother still receives the odd letter and phone call.
The name, Greater Vancouver Mustang Association was finally decided.
By July of 1981 the Mustang Owners Association transferred its bank balance to the GVMA Meetings were being held at the Centennial Community Centre in New Westminster as it was a central location. Meetings are still being held at this location.
In September of 1981 the executive was working on joining the International Mustang Association, and the design of a club jacket, windshield decal and a grill badge. By fall the club had grown to over 50 members. The club newsletter, The Horse & Driver had gone from a two page handout to an eight page newsletter.
At the December 1981 executive meeting there was talk about the Autorama Car Show at the Pacific National Exhibition (P.N.E.), mall shows at Coquitlam Centre and Lansdowne Mall. This was also the first mention of a Spring Show in 1982 at the Harrison Hot Springs Hotel. There was some discussion on the 3rd International Mustang Meet. The Treasurer's Report of the day was a balance of a mere $ 257.46 in the bank.
As the spring of 1982 approached the GVMA was in need of an event to celebrate the club's first anniversary and kick off a new and exciting show-N-Shine season.
As the spring of 1982 approached the GVMA was in need of an event to celebrate the club's first anniversary and kick off a new and exciting show-N-Shine season. A suggestion was made to have brunch and a Show-N-Shine at the Harrison Hotel. This was perfect, the original location of the club's beginning. With the club celebrating its first anniversary a tradition was born at the Harrison Hotel. Fifty-eight cars were in attendance for the Show-N-Shine on the Hotel grounds. Eight-nine hungry Mustangers devoured an incredible Sunday brunch.
With the first year behind them the executive now faced its second hurdle for the new club. Will the excitement die, or will there be enough public appeal and organized horse play to keep the club together? The first elections were held in May of 1982. The original executive remained the same. At this time it was decided to add a fifth position to the executive, the Assistant Officer position was created.
September 1982 the 1st Annual Indian Summer All Pony Round Up was held at the Canada Games Pool parking lot. Discussion at the following executive meeting pointed out that the site was large enough for all of the Mustangs that showed up. There were at least 400 Mustangs parked in the area.

From $2.49/mo at Surfshark
But there's one caveat: you can only access iPlayer if you have a UK home or office address. When you try accessing iPlayer in another country, the BBC will quickly realize this and provide a message telling you that the platform cannot be accessed in your location.
Whether you're a Brit traveling overseas or a British TV fan who lives in a different country, you'll probably be frustrated at being unable to access iPlayer. If you'd like to use iPlayer outside the UK, you just need to sign for a VPN service. Then, you can connect to a UK-based server and gain full access to iPlayer. In this article, we list the best VPN services for use with BBC iPlayer in 2021.

If you're looking for the best overall BBC iPlayer VPN in 2021, you should opt for NordVPN because it has more than 440 servers in the UK.
With such an impressive choice of British VPN servers, it's super easy to unblock BBC iPlayer and watch your favorite British television shows. Plus, there are over 5,500 international VPN servers in total.
But there aren't just lots of UK VPN servers on offer with NordVPN; they're also very powerful. In our review of NordVPN, we were very happy when it provided speeds of 65-69Mbps on a 75Mbps UK connection.
NordVPN has easy-to-use, feature-packed apps for lots of operating systems and devices, including iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, Linux, and more. What's a bit annoying is that you can only use up to six devices via one account. But you do get some great features, such as a no-logging policy, double VPN, malware and unwanted advert blocking, browser extensions, a DNS leaking test, 24/7 support, and more.
NordVPN is one of the most common and biggest names in the VPN space, and it also happens to be one of the best. It offers amongst the largest number of server options and some high-quality app experiences.

Fast speeds

Five-device limit
ExpressVPN has also built a strong reputation for being one of the top VPNs on the market. And with the British Virgin Islands-based provider offering servers in multiple UK locations, it's an excellent choice for unblocking BBC iPlayer.
Whichever UK server you choose, you can expect great speeds for streaming TV shows and movies on BBC iPlayer. In fact, when we reviewed ExpressVPN, speeds on a 75Mbps UK connection ranged between 60 and 65Mbps.
We also love ExpressVPN because of its easy-to-use apps, which are available for iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, Linux, and many other major platforms. It's quick and easy to connect to a fast VPN server thanks to a big power button.
Its apps aren't just easy to use, but are also packed full of great features. There are over 160 global server locations available, VPN split tunneling, kill switches, private DNS, 256-bit encryption, a no-logging policy, a VPN speed test, unlimited bandwidth, how-to guides, and a 24/7 live chat. But what we don't like is that there's only a 5-device limit when you sign up for an account.
This is a top pick for anyone looking to get started with a VPN. It offers a great mix of speed, reliability, outstanding customer service, and affordability. There is a 30-day money-back guarantee, so give it a shot today.

Affordable BBC iPlayer VPN

Plenty of VPN servers
Great security features
Some people might find it a bit basic
Surfshark is another prominent VPN provider, but it's also one of the cheapest services and charges as little as $2.49 per month for a premium subscription.
As well as offering outstanding value, Surfshark will also enable you to unblock BBC iPlayer in all corners of the globe. When we tested Surfshark for ourselves, we saw extremely impressive speeds of 68Mbps on a 75Mbps British line.
With any VPN service, you'll want access to plenty of international servers, and Surfshark has over 3,200 of them. Many of these servers are based in the UK, making it very easy to unblock BBC iPlayer and other British TV streaming platforms.
Unlike NordVPN and ExpressVPN, Surfshark doesn't limit how many devices you can use via your account. What's more, there are apps for major operating systems like Android, iOS, Windows, Mac, and Linux. Surfshark also offers a no-logging policy, a kill switch, DNS leak protection, a camouflage mode, 256-bit encryption, secure protocols, and many other features.
Surfshark VPN
You can connect as many devices as your heart desires at the same time and never worry about any of them being logged. Surfshark also offers a 30-day guarantee that you'll like the product, or it will give you your money back.

4. Hotspot Shield VPN
A speedy BBC iPlayer VPN
Compatible with: Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux | Streaming services unblocked: BBC iPlayer, Netflix, Hulu, YouTube | Servers: 3,200+ | Server Locations: 115+ in 80+ countries | Trial Period: 45 days
Some of the best speeds on a VPN provider
Military-grade encryption
Website support could be improved
If you want one of the fastest VPN services for streaming content on BBC iPlayer, you should check out Hotspot Shield VPN.
When it comes to streaming, Hotspot Shield claims to be twice as fast as its rivals. It's able to reach these impressive speeds thanks to the proprietary Catapult Hydra protocol, which is designed for offering enhanced performance.
In our Hotspot Shield review, we tested it on a 600Mbps UK connection and experienced speeds of up to 200Mbps. Meanwhile, it topped speeds of 410Mbps on a 600Mpbs U.S. connection. Simply put, Hotspot Shield is fast and can provide a seamless streaming experience.
What else do you get for your cash? Well, if you do opt for a premium plan, there's military-grade encryption, unlimited connections, and apps for many different major operating systems, along with included antivirus, password manager, and spam-call blocker access. We did, however, feel that its website support could be improved.
Hotspot Shield VPN
This is our top recommendation for those looking for a free VPN. You do need to enter your credit card number, but the company won't charge you and you can use the service for free beyond the 7-day trial.

5. VyprVPN
One of the most popular BBC iPlayer VPNs
Compatible with: Windows, Mac, iOS, Android | Streaming services unblocked: BBC iPlayer, Netflix, Hulu, YouTube | Servers: 700+ | Server Locations: 70+ in 70+ countries | Trial Period: 30 days
Two million active users
Chameleon protocol
Up to 30 simultaneous device connections
Slower speeds
Sporting two million users worldwide, VyprVPN is one of the most popular VPN services around today and will allow you to access BBC iPlayer.
Although it only offers 700 global VPN servers, some are based in the UK. Using one of them, you can quickly unblock the BBC's official streaming platform. But sadly, they don't provide the best speeds.
Lackluster speeds aside, VyperVPN still offers some good features. For example, there's an audited no-logging policy, a built-in kill switch, the Chameleon protocol, strong encryption, a NAT firewall, apps for different operating systems, and 24/7 support.
Another notable advantage is that VyperVPN allows for up to 30 simultaneous connections so you can use it on a wide range of devices all at the same time.
Save 87% by going for the 36-month offer available at VyprVPN right now. It's got a fast, reliable connection for streaming, strong encryption, apps for all the major platforms, and servers all over the world.

6. ProtonVPN
Security-focused VPN that unblocks iPlayer
Compatible with: Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux | Streaming services unblocked: BBC iPlayer, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, YouTube | Servers: 1,200+ | Server Locations: 55+ in 55 countries | Trial Period: 30 days
Many servers utilize 10 Gbps connections
Based in Switzerland
No streaming on Free or Basic plans
Middling speeds
ProtonVPN is one of the best secure VPN choices on the market. Coming from the makers of ProtonMail, that should come as no surprise. However, it's not only great for protecting your privacy — it also works as a top BBC iPlayer VPN.
It doesn't have the most servers globally, but its UK servers worked for streaming iPlayer content in our testing. It came middle of the pack in terms of speed which is why it's lower down on this list, coupled with the fact that it does not support streaming on its Free plan nor on its entry-level Basic paid plan. You have to upgrade to the Plus plan for streaming which is $8 per month on the 1-year plan or $6.63 per month on the 2-year plan. That's quite expensive if you only want a VPN for streaming, though ProtonVPN is a trusted provider for other VPN uses.
The company is based in Switzerland, which means that it benefits from additional strong legal protection. Switzerland offers some of the world's strongest privacy laws, and remains outside of the EU and U.S. jurisdiction, meaning that it can't be coerced into spying on any users.
There are strong no-logging policies, DNS leak protection, a kill-switch, and it can be used as an always-on VPN that automatically reconnects to a server should the connection be interrupted at any point. All of the servers have a minimum speed of 1 Gbps, and many of them actually use a 10 Gbps connection.
ProtonVPN Plus
From the creators of the secure and encrypted ProtonMail comes ProtonVPN. If you want a security-focused VPN that also works great for streaming, ProtonVPN's Plus plan is for you.
From $6.63 per month at ProtonVPN
What makes a good BBC iPlayer VPN?
If you're looking for one of the best BBC iPlayer VPNs, there are several things to consider when making your decision.
Given that BBC iPlayer is a British streaming platform, you'll definitely need to sign up for a service that works great as a streaming VPN with plenty of UK servers. By connecting to one of these, you can then unblock iPlayer wherever you live.
Another important thing to look out for is whether a VPN provider can actually be used for accessing BBC iPlayer. Luckily, all the providers listed in this article are compatible with iPlayer. Some others may have UK-based servers, but these could have been blocked by the BBC.
In general, the best VPN services sport global server networks with thousands of connections, unlimited bandwidth, unlimited or high device limits, strict no-logs policies, kill switches, apps that work on all devices, 24/7 customer support, and more.
Do you really need a BBC iPlayer VPN?
If your main aim is to unblock BBC iPlayer in any part of the world other than the UK, you'll definitely need a VPN. The BBC places geographic limits on its streaming platform and will automatically know your location if you've not used a VPN to get a British IP address.
Should you stream online content or play games regularly, a VPN will also provide significant performance improvements because it'll block bandwidth throttling and DDoS attacks.
While a BBC iPlayer VPN is excellent for streaming and gaming, it'll also allow you to unblock other websites that have been impacted by geo-restrictions. Plus, they have some great security and privacy advantages as well. Overall, VPNs are very useful online tools, and it's worth using one.
We test and review VPN services in the context of legal recreational uses. For example:
1. Accessing a service from another country (subject to the terms and conditions of that service).
2. Protecting your online security and strengthening your online privacy when abroad.
We do not support or condone the illegal or malicious use of VPN services. Consuming pirated content that is paid-for is neither endorsed nor approved by Future Publishing.

1. Why does it take so many county workers to do a simple road repair?
State and Federal safety regulations require traffic control personnel (flaggers) whenever work is done on a traveled way.
2. Why does the brushing crew cut down so many trees and bushes?
2. Reduce and remove hazard trees and vegetation near the roads that can obstruct the traveled way or waterways with fallen trunks, branches, or debris.
3. Maintain and improve a fire clearance break suitable to allow ingress and egress during fire events and to reduce wildfire spread across the County Roads.
4. Increase sunlight exposure to reduce ice build up on pavements.
The Brushing Crew strives to accomplish vegetation removal with minimal long term costs to the maintenance budget.
They confine the clearing to County Road rights of way OR they acquire Rights of Entry where necessary. Before clearing is performed, research is done in the office to determine if the County has right of way along a given road, or if a letter granting the Right of Entry is on file. If neither is true, then a letter is sent to each affected landowner requesting a Right of Entry for brushing purposes.
Before any brushing is performed, notification is sent to each landowner along the affected section of road.
3. Why did I receive a Right of Entry request?
If the County has no Right of Way on a particular section of road where work needs to be performed, a Request for Right of Entry is sent to the affected landowner(s). The type of work needing to be done is noted in the letter. It may be brushing, sign installation, culvert cleaning or repair or some other work. The landowner is requested to sign the request and return it promptly.
4. How can I get a Speed Zone sign installed?
The default Speed Limit on all county roads is 55 m.p.h. Speed Zone signs can only be posted where there is a documented need for one. An Accident History investigation and Engineering Speed Study must be performed to prove the need for a Speed Limit sign at any particular spot on a road.
5. What is an Encroachment Permit, and when do I need one?
An Encroachment Permit grants permission to an individual or group for a specific activity (parade, street fair, construction of a driveway, installation of a mailbox, etc.) to take place on a county road. Before holding an event on a County street or road, you need to contact the Department of Public Works at (209) 966-5356 for an Encroachment Permit Application.

US Military veteran joins Computer Futures' Salesforce team
Computer Futures, the specialist tech-recruitment arm of SThree PLC, has strengthened its Salesforce recruitment offering with the appointment of US Military veteran, Roger Miranda.
It's the latest part of the company's drive to become the leading recruiter in the Salesforce ecosystem and follows the appointment of Stephanie Herrera as Vice President of its Salesforce Practice earlier this year.
Roger, who is widely regarded as one of the leading veterans in the Salesforce ecosystem, has joined the business in Austin, Texas, as a Senior Consultant.
Having spent 22 years in the US Military, Roger advanced through the ranks culminating as a Lieutenant Colonel. He also lists Battery Commander, Knowledge Management Officer, and Deputy Director of the Fort Hood Simulation Centre among his previous military roles.
He served in the US, Kuwait and was twice deployed to Kandahar, Afghanistan, where he served in a multi-national command to improve the stability and security of Southern Afghanistan.
As he prepared to retire from the military, Roger found out about Vetforce and the Merivis Foundation, which both offer active military personnel, veterans and military spouses free training, certifications and career opportunities within the Salesforce ecosystem.
Through the Merivis Foundation professional network, Roger met Stephanie Herrera, who is on the organisation's board. Following a discussion with Stephanie and Danny Cohen, Vice President of Computer Futures in the US, Roger decided to join Computer Futures.
Ahead of his start date, Roger said: "During my conversation with Danny, he explained that at Computer Futures, people are at the heart of everything they do and that's what brought me here.
"Helping people is one of my greatest sources of joy and having been in the military for my entire adult life, the philosophy I've followed is 'mission first, people always'.
"So, it's really exciting to be here at Computer Futures and I'm looking forward to working with the expert team to make an impact and bring even more success to the brand and to SThree."
Danny Cohen, Vice President of Computer Futures in the US, said: "Roger is well known in the Salesforce community and we are so happy to have him on board.
"At Computer Futures, our aim is to be the number one talent provider within the Salesforce ecosystem across the regions we operate in and I'm confident Roger will play a massive part in that."

For Baby Boomers, the Stairways to Heaven Are Changing
By Dave Price October 11, 2016 Mindset
When it comes to funerals, many Baby Boomers are literally thinking outside the box.
Of course, that really shouldn't come as much of a surprise. Those born between 1946 and 1964 have been constantly reinventing most life stages as they have been passing through them. So why should death be any different?
Over the next few years, you should be prepared to encounter a whole different array of extremely personalized funerals.
Somber Is Out, Lively Life Stories Are In
First of all, many Baby Boomers aren't as religious as their predecessors. This means that traditional religious services with somber music and a prayer-intoning minister aren't to their liking.
Instead, they are opting for leaving-of-life events that focus more on the living aspects of life. The trend started years ago with relatives and friends placing themed picture boards around the funeral home for visitors to view. Now, in many cases that look back has been augmented with home videos of important people and events in the deceased life.
Personalized Playlists and Services on the Beach
Funeral music is also changing. Instead of "Amazing Grace" or other hymns, families are designing playlists populated with songs by rock artists such as Bruce Springsteen or the Rolling Stones.
When Richie Nocella, one of my best friends from my Villanova University years, died a few years ago, his wife Karen asked that Richie's favorite song "Jumping Jack Flash" be played at the service. Not only did current Villanova president Father Peter Donahue agree to that request, he also told a few hilarious stories about Richie's adventures with that tune, as well as using the live playing as a time for all those attending the service to close their eyes and silently reflect on their relationship with Rich.
Just as it did in the 1960s, the West Coast seems to be leading the way in the new wave of alternate funeral services. In California, for example, ex-surfers are having their services conducted on their favorite beach. Bikers are having funeral events staged in parks and near highways where they loved to ride.
In Las Vegas, a new idea for casino workers is to have services in a side room of the casino where they worked. That way fellow casino workers can pay their respects on their breaks without leaving their shifts.
Saying Farewell in a "Green" Way
But perhaps the newest Baby Boom trend nationwide is to have a service that focuses on the environment or calls attention to some other social cause.
While people have opted for cremations for decades, more people than ever are taking that route to free up land for other uses.
Many are now seeking green, environmentally friendly funerals, which means no embalming, no metal or non-biodegradable caskets, or concrete vaults.
While it has been common for people to request contributions be made to their favorite causes, now some families are choosing to have a speaker from that group or organization attend the service and speak on behalf of the cause.
Continuing Social Activism After Death
Many of those who were socially committed in life want to continue that activism in death. Organ donations are on the rise. Many other people are including sizeable donations in wills to causes or organizations to continue a legacy of helping.
My wife and I have decided to donate our bodies to science. Under that program, our bodies will be transported to a nearby teaching hospital of our choice and remain there to be studied and used for five years. At the end of that time, the remains are cremated and returned to the family.
My wife has set aside money so that our son, daughter-in-law, and two grandchildren can travel to Africa and spread her remains over her favorite place in the world – the Serengeti in Kenya and Tanzania.
I want most of my ashes to be mingled with those of my wife, but I think I might want a portion held out and tossed on the stage of my grandkids favorite touring bands of the time, unless Bruce Springsteen is still performing. Then I want both of them to go to the concert and decorate the Boss' stage.
If that does happen, I also want them to hold up a big sign that says: "Hey, Bruce – Please play "Loose Ends," "All That Heaven Will Allow" "I'm Goin Down" "Seeds" and "The Price You Pay" for our dead Grandpop, who was a Jersey boy just like you".
Some traditionalists find the new wave of funeral services in bad taste and/or sacrilegious. What is your take on the issue? Do you have a special way you would like to be remembered at your final service? What kind of music would you like to be played at your funeral? Please join the conversation.

Watch Jay-Z And Kanye West Jovial Spirits In 'Otis' Music Video
Posted byBy Popular Critic	| August 12, 2011 CommentsComments (0)
Kanye West and Jay-Z make a days work look like loads of fun. The duo who collaborated to create the most highly anticipated album of 2011, Watch The Throne, looks like they were best buds from grade school. Never mind that Jay-Z was skeptical of Kanye's rapping ability when he first joined the game or the most recent reports of their beef behind close doors. At this point, Kanye has proven Jay-Z wrong and Jay-Z has cleared up the beef rumors – though he does admit that they argue like brothers and squash it. And that's exactly the vibe in this video, brothers on a really good day.
The video, directed by "Where the Wild Things Are" director Spike Jonze opens with a crisp Mercedes Maybach that is quickly torched and transformed into a makeshift convertible. Over the backdrop of an American Flag and the sample of Otis Redding's "Try A Little Tenderness", Jay-Z and Kanye spit of their rhymes.
The single was highly criticized for it's ill-timing giving the current state of the economy and international disasters – which may reason why the Maybach in the video will be auctioned and proceeds will go towards the East African Drought Disaster.
Take a look at Jay-Z and Kanye West in Otis – what do you think?
