The DJ Anti-Profile: How not to write a DJ bio
ell, I remember—back in the days when raves were promoted primarily by flyers printed on actual paper and distributed to record shops that had bricks-and-mortar storefronts you could go and visit—that a "DJ profile" used to just mean someone's name and their affiliations to rave collectives…and, later, to record labels. Sure, those DJs that were big enough to have an agent probably already had a paragraph or two about them written down somewhere, but they circulated in a smaller, closed circuit of "professionals" behind the scenes. About 15 years later (for me, at least), even beginning DJs have a carefully-crafted "bio" to email to anyone, to bundle into their press kit, and to post on their blog, personal website, MySpace Music profile, Facebook fanpage, Soundcloud user page, Resident Advisor DJ page, and so on. The move of event promotion from paper flyers (where text space is expensive) to the internet (where space is cheap, but attention is hard to keep) has vastly expanded the amount of information we expect to have available for a DJ: a few well-targeted web searches about any particular DJ will provide you with a discography (including collaborations and remixes), DJ-charts (where a DJ lists his/her "top ten" records of the moment), several versions of the DJ's biography, images of him/her, DJ-mixes/podcasts, videos of the DJ performing live, and—if s/he is doing well—a few interviews. These changed expectations mean that DJs launching their careers now are under enormous pressure to generate "media presence" at levels that DJs of the 80s and 90s never even imagined. In particular, the "biographic" aspect of the DJ profile has become an important element of career-building and marketing; and, like any other type of marketing, there are certain narratives (story lines, themes, events) that "sell" well.
In other words, there are clichés and standard formulas for writing a DJ profile, and the sheer number of DJ profiles available today makes these clichés obvious. Certainly, anyone who goes out to Electronic Dance Music (EDM) events (and, therefore, is active in the online communities that list these events) has probably read hundreds if not thousands of DJ bios already, and can probably name a few of these formulas without effort. When I polled friends and acquaintances who were involved in EDM scenes, here's the short list I got (including a few of my own):
"…started playing records when s/he was 10 years old."
"…benefited from his/her parent(s)'s vast eclectic record collection and so started from a very young age."
"…is the child of professional musicians."
"…is a classically trained pianist." (i.e., took piano lessons at age 9-11)
"…is not just a whiz behind the decks, but also a classically-trained trombonist and has a doctorate in quantum physics." (extra points if these things have nothing to do with the kind of music s/he makes)
"…has always had a keen interest in music." (no shit!)
"…started playing at local parties." Or, for bonus points: "…Originally hailing from Quietville, X soon found the club scene of nearby Trendycity irresistable, and so relocated at age 19 to try his hand behind the decks." (i.e., a combination of "authentic" small-scene origins and trendy big-city prestige: "I'm not fake and snobby like these scenesters here, but I proved myself on their turf.")
"…developed his/her encyclopedic knowledge of electronic music by working in the local recordshop."
"…has shared the decks with such techno luminaries as SuperstarDJ1, RetiredButRespectedVeteran2, and FlavorOfTheMonth3." (i.e., s/he played 6 hours earlier/later and never met any of them)
"…has influences ranging from Kraftwerk to Miles Davis, via George Clinton, Joy Division, and classic sixties beat pop" (especially when there's absolutely no evidence of these sounds in his/her fairly straight-up minimal techno)
"…is deeply steeped in the legacy of Chicago house and/or Detroit techno and/or New York garage."
"…is known for spinning eclectic sets," or "…is not limited to any genre, combining deep house, pounding techno, dubstep, disco, and baile funk." (+1 point for every genre named that never actually appears in any of his/her mixes)
"…is completely self-taught, not having even the benefit of observing/consulting other DJs. So pure is her/his talent on the decks."
"…always whips the crowd into a frenzy," or some variation on this theme. This is, after all, what counts as the "bottom line" for promoters who are looking to book a DJ; the biographical information might help sell the event, but the promoter wants a guarantee that the DJ will create the sort of excitement that drives up drink sales and builds the club's reputation.
"…has released the banging tune Y, with support from Ritchie Hawtin, DJ Hell, William Orbit and others" (where tune Y probably isn't all that well known, and "support" is vague and ill-defined.)
Read altogether like this, these clichés are ripe for parody. In fact, let me improvise a spoof profile in five minutes:
DJ Glittersnizz has been rocking the decks since he was barely toilet-trained, when he rifled through his parents' vast and eclectic record collection and started experimenting with the controls on their old walnut-veneered record player. He grew up in a profoundly musical household, his parents being professional musicians who put him into classical piano and jazz guitar lessons from the moment he had enough motor control in his hands to hold a guitar pick. He is nonetheless a completely self-taught DJ, buying all the necessary gear with money saved up from a part-time job as a dishwasher and learning by bringing a new piece of musical technology home, plugging it in, and pushing all the buttons until something happened. The first record he bought was a now-out-of-print EP of Parliament Funkadelic covering Kraftwerk's "Calculator."
He began playing in local bars and clubs in his hometown of Nowheresville, getting his first break when the DJ called in sick at a local pub where he washed dishes. He soon blew up in Nowheresville and began playing in TrendyStateCapital, after he was discovered by Well-ConnectedScenester of the BigCityPartyPromoter crew. He was taken under the wing of EstablishedVeteranDJ1, who took him on tour to Ibiza, Berlin, Tokyo, Santiago, Miami, and some secret techno resort that common tourists don't know about. He has since enjoyed immense success, blowing up dancefloors across the globe (OK, OK, mostly around TrendyStateCapital) to sold-out crowds. He has shared the decks with the likes of SuperStarDJ1, EstablishedVeteranDJ2, and HotForTheNextMonth3, all of whom played at his afterparties in the swank uptown loft that his parents are TOTALLY not paying for, he swears. He is also a prolific and respected producer, having released two albums and 10 EPs since he got up this morning. His most recent mega-hit track, "My Snizz is Glittery," has been charted by every single fucking DJ listed on Resident Advisor and Discogs combined, with support from all the leading DJs signed to any label that ever mattered—plus his grandma.
Glittersnizz's musical style reflects his eclectic influences—from high-modernist integral serialism to jazz-funk fusion to Armenian epic poetry to 80s hair metal—all distilled down to pure, crystalline minimal techno. He's not limited to minimal techno, instead combining disco, dubstep, clickpop, glitch, and progressive house to create a new sound that the entire staff of Pitchfork has been trying to name for the last year (the senior what-is-this-electronica-crap editor suggested "jigglestep" and then resigned in shame).
There you go. That took a bit more than five minutes because I got carried away. Easy, eh? There's this interesting collision between the 19th-century Romantic "natural genius" narrative and the 20th-century American Dream "I earned this all through hard work" narrative, which produces odd contrasts and contradictions. A greater challenge, however, is to write a DJ bio that is the opposite of these clichés. I'm not thinking of replacing the positive hyperbole with negative hyperbole—that would be far too easy and much too boring—but instead produce a biography that is unremarkable, banal, modest, ambivalent, and even a bit realistic. Here's what I came up with:
DJ Meh never really had a particular interest in music, and is only really getting into DJing because his other friends have been doing it and he's beginning to feel left out. He comes from a middle-class, suburban home, where he shuffled his way through the educational system without any major incidents and moved on to the nearest state university to pursue a degree in economics (with a minor in psychology). His parents supported him through school, so he was able to buy cassettes and CDs when he liked (never vinyl records, though) and he could occasionally indulge in musical whims: he bought a used Roland 606 from a pawn shop during a moment when he was fascinated by sampling technology and, not knowing its market value, sold it back to the pawn shop for $20 when he got bored with it. The same thing happened to a guitar, an ill-fated hamster, a Dungeons & Dragons gaming set, and a screenprinting kit. Despite his financial security, he did have a part-time job during high school at a chain fast-food restaurant, where the only music-related thing he learned is that you shouldn't call banda music "mariachi" music, especially in the presence of those Latino guys that were always working the fryers.
Meh used the funds from his lucrative consulting job to buy all the top-of-the-line gear on a whim, which he may or may not be using in a month. Too impatient to learn through trial-and-error and observation, he purchased several "How to DJ" instructional videos and has hired a local wedding/event DJ to teach him how to mix records. His musical influences have mostly been top-40 chart-pop, not-so-indie rock, and whatever hip-hop and r'n'b that iTunes recommends to him. His musical style is a generic mix of house and tech-house, mostly chosen from whatever tracks show up on DJ-charts, whatever Beatport suggests when he logs in, and any tracks that his DJ friends mention more than once.
DJ Meh feels quite good about his infrequent gigs over the past few months, which some people in attendance have described as "surprisingly decent." Some guy from a downtown event promoter has expressed interest in booking him as an opening DJ, and there is some hope that he might even get booked out of town. He hasn't played with any internationally-known DJs (or nationally-known, for that matter), but he once picked up Richie Hawtin from the airport for a gig, and he had very polite things to say about the mix-CD that DJ Meh insisted on playing the whole drive into town. Other DJs have said that Meh is "a very nice guy" and "vaguely memorable." He has enjoyed moderate success with his first track, "Sigh, Shrug, and Continue," which has garnered support from a handful of B-list DJs—although maybe they were just providing support to increase their own profile in the industry.
DJ Meh doesn't really know what he's up to next. He's been digging this DJ thing alright, but it doesn't feel all that important to him.

This is excellent, and should be required reading for all label owners, artist management, and the like.
But, I will say, I drove DJ Meh once to the airport and he LOVED my gabber remix of George Michael's Careless Whisper.
much like the Shackleton dubstep remix of Chris Isaak's Wicked Games (oh god, I can just imagine it).

Very pleasant read… I propose we all carry on flogging the 'minimal' wave by putting a mere '.' And at some point some nitwit can start his/her bio with:
I did '.' for a long time, and I now credit myself for the resurrection of the disgusting post-early to mid 2000's minimal house nightmare! I have no influences nor any experiences to regurgitate, for I am '.'
Good luck to the winner of this prize…
I'm just gonna start mine with:
I'm alright, had a lot on, ducked and dived for a bit, pulled a few strings, danced in me own garden didn't I? I play other peoples records, and make my music sound like all the music I've liked(avoiding any plagiaristic tendencies of course…) You make like me, you may not, but living in our current demographic we ain't got a lot of time, nor money to worry about it… I'll just keep on keeping on…
Bit self indulgent maybe? Who knows?!
DJ Waspkiller says:
Lol. So true!!!!!!
V funny and couldn't agree more. There is so much promo guff.
It's the same with blogs these days – just post a link to the music, no-one is the slightest bit interested in the sub Lester Bangs prose!! Hate reading sub-NME/Pitchfork rubbish that is trying to be amusing. Just because you can self-publish doesn't mean anyone else wants to read the badly written shite. At least with trad media there was a filter, 'journalists' had to earn the right to communicate their thoughts. These days the democracy of the net has filled it with middle class idiots who feel their 'voice' (sic) should be heard (though who have strangely failed to get proper jobs pursuing their 'craft').
Music is there to be listened to. Period. It doesn't require artist names or track titles – they're pointless, anachronistic terms. Give me a file name made of numbers any day, way more underground. The sooner that happens then we won't be bombarded with shit, or forced to read other people's interpretations of said shit.
Writing a dj bio is a bitch.. Luis, can you write mine?
(I'm only half kidding…..)
Aw Kate, you know I would! When I get back into Chicago, I could totally call you, take some notes, and craft something glowing yet non-clichéd…
(p.s. Berlin is awesome)
Great Berlin is awesome! El Barco + bio when you return 🙂
No DJ bio ought exceed one paragraph.

DJ Arek Triple SL says:
Here is my bio that I`ve made a while ago after seeing all these cliche ones mentioned here:
While on the run from the KGB after escaping communist Poland, Arek Triple SL (Arek3xSL) has been part of North America's underground for several years. Hiding out in clubs under the cover of the fog machine and in venues disguised by creative lighting and elaborate decor, Arek slowly infiltrated the music scene. With a music style as dynamic as his drinking skills, partygoers will never know what to expect from trance to techno and goa, house to breaks, the only thing we can guarantee is that you will be shaking your ass until he leaves the decks.. possibly back into hiding like the Polish outlaw he is.. or more likely, to wherever he keeps his beer.
Nice one. Nails hit all squarely on the head. Wrote about this a couple of years back over here:
http://www.johnkuan.com/5-overused-points-you-should-never-include-in-your-dj-musician-bio/
The hairs on the back of my neck are standing from the DJ Meh + Glittersnizz examples.
Freakin' brilliant. Same goes for punk. I remember in high school everyone who was in a band or even just went to shows claimed that their parents had this extensive record collection, were on first term basis with every member of the Sex Pistols and, well you get the point…
Why? Who knows!
I love it. Thanks for this article.

wow, this is great article, i was just looking around on how to write my bio for promotional use. Thanks alot mate…
Thanks everyone for the lovely comments! As a lot of you have already noticed, the exaggerated parody sits on top of a rather conventional "DJ bio" form. In fact, you could probably use the two examples above to distill the standard form of a DJ bio (whether good or bad):
– The "How I got into this music" paragraph
* optional details on childhood/adolescence
* optional musical training credentials
– The "My career so far" paragraph
* include clubs and residencies where you first started playing
* note any "breakthrough" gigs or releases
* optionally mention famous DJs that you've worked with or played with (but be careful not to sound like a desperate douchebag)
– The "What I sound like" paragraph
* describe your musical influences and style
* describe how you interact with a crowd
* if you produce, list your best-known release and your most recent release.
* clarify whether you do live sets, DJ sets, or both
HJK says:
Nuff said! Made my day :))
Totally agree. I feel like some DJs would jerk off to themselves in a mirror if they loved themselves any more.
"Those 1200s sure were expensive, but that's the price you pay for loving house music. I mean, do you know how many drinks a full setup can buy? Bring on the "free hooch for the DJ after his set" gigs!"

Really nice post and something that I do complain so much about since I HATE bio's in general. They do are absurd and stupid, rarely I see one that makes something nice to read. Anyway, they only point I'm totally agreeing with you is the inspiration (eg. "…has influences ranging from Kraftwerk to Miles Davis, via George Clinton, (…)"). If you make music, you're not going to get your inspiration from people that make music like you do. You'll want to get it elsewhere, sometimes at the right opposite in order to get a feeling or a tone that is *not* in the music you usually make, to transpose new ideas. Of course, the end product will not sound like Miles but I got inspired by was him. Of course, a lot of people just say that because they to sound cool and yeah, the music sometimes is so crappy that you know this guy was filling his bio with something "intelligent". Shame!
Merci pour le commentaire, Pheek! Yes, one can draw influence from a lot of different sources that are not necessarily similar to one's own work. I think what I was trying to describe was more the performance of eclecticism as a form of sophistication—un éclecticisme forcé pour faire croire qu'on est intelligent. In any case, there are plenty of other things to complain about in DJ bios, but they are also an unavoidable part of the techno "business."
Oui j'avais bien pigé ton intention mais je voulais rectifier le tir pour les gens qui ne pourraient comprendre. Je pensais bon aussi de partager le point de vue d'un artiste fortement inspiré par Miles Davis 🙂
A_Greek says:
Hi my name is Zeus. I started listening to Electronic Music while residing on a humble Greek Island when I was 16 months old. Life somehow brought me to Trance Music while I was supposedly doing my Graduate Studies in Chicago. It was that period that I flerted with the idea of becomming a DJ myself, but luckily I met all you techno-freaks. Through you guys I realized how sacred it is to spin in front of an eclectic crowd. All these years of being a proffesional spectator a big realization was that it takes many years and hard work to "get the crowd properly crazy". Hopefully one day I will have the guts to fulfill a much wanted desire to perform on the decks.
ps Love your blogs Luis.
hehe, eufxaristó, Z! With a name like Zeus, you don't even have to write a DJ Bio for yourself. The name says everything!

I run an artist management, booking agency, and a record label. It's my job to get these bios and other related EPK materials for the artists to get them promoted.
I absolutely HATE bios! Honestly as a professional, I don't care. It makes no difference to me If you've been in a state facility for the past 20 years and only heard EDM for the first time last week.
If you send me or give me access to a demo, especially your own produced tracks, even if you mail me a cassette tape and a vhs because that's all you have and you can draw people to come see you and I can work with you I'm interested.
The bio is for "FANS" and "POTENTIAL FANS" nobody else (and half the time the ans don't care).
We in the industry want to hear and see what you have. people want good new sounds to keep them dancing and a show of some kind to entertain them. If you can set up 20 pcs of equipment and play off your Ipod but make it look like your doing a hundred things and entertaining the masses, who keep coming back and make it work for you….GREAT! That's what disco dj's did back in the day. played one record after the next but entertained the crowd. Musical background? HA that's a laugh most of the original dj's knew how to drink, liked to dance, knew what music was good to keep everyone going, and wanted to get laid. There were NO bios.

This pilot study assessed neuro-cognitive functioning in 7 adults treated with Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) for refractory epilepsy over a 12-month period. All patients were assessed using the Critical Flicker Fusion (CFF) test, a sensitive measure of the ability of the central nervous system to discriminate items of sensory information, along with a standardized battery of neuropsychological and behavioral measures. Reduction in seizure frequency and psychiatric ratings was accompanied by a selective but significant (p<.05) improvement in CFF performance. These findings suggest that the CFF test could be a useful indicator of improvement in neurocognitive functioning during VNS.


The Peconic Estuary Program (PEP) seeks bids from prospective graphic designers for the layout and design of the program's Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan (CCMP), content for which was recently revised.

Overview of Stakeholder and Shareholder Theories
12th Nov 2020 Business Assignment Reference this
As known corporations have different goals and objectives, many of them are supervised by councils and governments. Many believe it is a moral requirement to make money when possible, by selling products for the highest price (Hiltzik,2018). They are lead to believe that managers mainly care about maximizing the shareholders' profit (but without committing any crimes or fraud), which is also known as the shareholders' theory (Smith,2003) – one that has been around for centuries and is used by different corporations all around the world. However, a large number of people believe that it is a moral requirement that corporations should consider and take responsibility for a third party, which is interested or may be affected by the corporations acts or products. This third party consists of groups or organizations, known as stakeholders, and the theory they represent is called the stakeholders' theory (Smith,2003) Both theories define what the corporation's objectives should be: a corporation that operates under the shareholders' theory should take into account every action relating to the shareholders/owners and how it affects them. However, a corporation that operates under the stakeholder theory should take responsibility for all the third parties which are affected by it. Some of the points that will be discussed below are: the importance of selling products for the highest price; the advantages and disadvantages of this approach; different perspectives of shareholders and stakeholders; perspectives that they, in fact, hold in common; and finally what alternative theories or approaches are there.
In the modern day, in this capitalist economy if you are not able to make money, you will not survive in the market (Hiltzik,2018). Money is a necessity to have a fully functional corporation, capable of developing improving products and services that are unique to the corporation in which it is specialize. In selling them for the highest achievable price, the corporation becomes successful, which will attract customers and investors with new opportunities to develop ground breaking ideas or products and will reassure shareholders that the managers are doing what they were hired to do and that the corporation is in good hands.
On the one hand, the stakeholders' perspective and theory totally disapproves of this method by assuming that it is unethical to sell products for the highest price, also stating that the managers running the corporation should prioritize all of the stakeholders' interests by taking responsibility for the environment, customers, communities, governmental concerns and the employees (Jensen,2005). On the other hand, the shareholders' theory supports the statement that it is a moral requirement to make money when possible (also taking into consideration that corporation do not make money on every product they sell, which is why when companies develop a unique product that is not available elsewhere they tend to sell the product for highest achievable price to make profit). Selling the products or services for the highest price, enables the corporation to develop new products which will make the corporation more desirable and will attract new customers and investors that will be able to recognize the opportunity in the corporation. However, it is a false accusation that managers' only concern, under the shareholders' theory, is to maximize the shareholders' short-term profit. Good managers know that having a purpose, strategy and incentive to make employees work better and harder to achieve the task given to them (Jensen,2005) will maximize the long-term viability and reputation of the company; and thereby its financial worth.
The shareholders' perspective and the stakeholders' perspective have a lot in common, both are perspectives of how a corporation should run, have a definition of what the manager's job is, both perspectives identify that the main aim of the corporation is to make money and in some way both of them can be theories of business ethics, the shareholders' theory states that managers should use funds to engage activates which are profitable, without breaking the law. The stakeholders' theory states the managers should take responsibility for the environment, customers and employees, but the main interest of the business is still to make money(smith,2003). However, Managers are expected to act at the best interests of the company to be fair and act in good faith, mirror a good relationship between themselves and the corporation, its employees and the stakeholders (Begbies Traynor, n.d). on the other hand, the shareholder and the stakeholder theories are widely different in what they believe and what the corporation should take into consecration before making a decision, the stakeholders believe that the corporation should consider every action and how could it affect the employees, the environment, the society and then how it would affect the corporation. The stakeholders believe that the managers should do what is in the corporation best interest without committing any crimes or fraud or disobey the law in any way.
Managers are restricted by what they can do as there are laws which ensures operating in fairness and in good faith to protect the shareholders, the stakeholders, the employees and the community.
After years of debate on which perspective should be used and wither it is a moral requirement to make money or not, a new perspective was discovered, that combines both the shareholders' and the stakeholders' theories and gives a wide definition on the manager's duties in the corporation. This theory is called the "Enlightened Shareholder Value" which satisfied both the shareholders and stakeholders and ensured the stakeholders that managers will take them into consideration when making a decision which involves them and the corporation (Begbies Traynor, n.d).The enlightened shareholder value states that before making a decision manager should: consider the long term profit, loss and the consequences on the corporation, how the decision may affect the employees and the work environment, doing what is best for the business despite what the shareholders or stakeholders want, how the manager's actions could affect the corporation's good reputation, the company's actions and how would it effect the environment and the community, being fair to employee's shareholders and stakeholders and more importantly avoiding conflict of interests. Failing to do the job can have conenoses of which is removal as a manager from office also breach of managers duties can lead to lawsuit by the shareholders and can lead to personal bankruptcy. After removal companies need to get a court issued interim injunction which puts to a halt all actions, sales and transactions for breach of managers duty( Begbies Traynor, n.d).
To conclude, after all the research made the stakeholders and shareholders theories are different and similar at the same time, both share the main idea of a business which is to make money but the difference between them in what they stand for is greater, there is not a right or wrong theory it is all matter of perspective and what one believes is moral and ethical. some believe it is not a moral requirement to make money but most of the people believe that the primary reason of the business is to invest and make money in the long term. after reviewing the Enlighted Shareholder theory, it appears that this theory might end the conflict of interest that is happening between shareholders and the stakeholders because it Is a combination of both to create a theory both sides are satisfied with, knowing the managers duties and consciences for disobeying them and what power he has in the corporation ensures both sides that the corporation will be taken good care of.

Protesters shout down Ole Miss chancellor announcement
Posted 9:48 am, October 4, 2019, by AP, Updated at 04:09PM, October 4, 2019

OXFORD, Miss. — Mississippi's former higher education commissioner will be the next chancellor of the University of Mississippi despite protesters shouting down his announcement ceremony.
College Board trustees announced by news release Friday that they had voted unanimously to appoint Glenn Boyce to the post, even as protesters claimed the move to short-circuit the remainder of the selection process proved trustees were corrupt.
After pleading for civility, trustee Ford Dye retreated from an on-campus hotel ballroom in Oxford, as protesters refused to be silent. After police wrestled one student out of the room to chants of "Shame! Shame! Shame!" the university's police chief announced the event was canceled.

The choice of Boyce, 61, brings to a close a politically sensitive search for a new leader of Ole Miss after former Chancellor Jeffrey Vitter resigned in January after less than three years on the job at one of Mississippi's two largest universities.
Boyce was involved in the search earlier after the university's private foundation hired him to meet with influential individuals about what they sought in the next Ole Miss leader. At the time, Boyce denied he was seeking the job, but some people spoke out during the search against speculation that the board would choose him in the end.
Ole Miss has more than 23,000 students between its Oxford campus and the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson. The medical center alone has more than 10,000 employees and a budget of more than $1 billion.
The next chancellor will face several challenges. Among the difficulties, Boyce will inherit declining enrollment, flagging fundraising and an ailing football team. Also looming over the incoming leader is the ongoing struggle over how the university should deal with the symbolism of the Confederacy and white supremacy, including a statue of a Confederate soldier on the Oxford campus that administrators are trying to relocate to a less prominent location. Some conservative alumni have been calling for a chancellor who would quell liberal tendencies on campus.
Boyce became Mississippi's higher education commissioner in 2015 when the College Board trustees who oversee the state's eight public universities were in a similar jam in seeking a leader. After choosing Mississippi University for Women President Jim Borsig as commissioner, Borsig had backed out and instead returned to lead that university. Boyce had been working for the board as associate commissioner for academic affairs for less than a year at the time. Boyce retired from the commissioner's position in June 2018.
Boyce has never been a professor on a four-year campus, and it's unclear how he will be received by faculty and other campus groups who had been warning against an inside hire. Some faculty members Thursday night were calling for protests on Twitter, but it was unclear if they would materialize. Trustees could have opted for further consultations with campus groups, but cut the interview process short.
Boyce served as president of central Mississippi's Holmes Community College from 2005 to 2014, earlier leading efforts in workforce development for Holmes and serving as assistant superintendent and principal in the Rankin County school district in suburban Jackson. A native of New York state, Boyce has said he came to Mississippi to attend college at Ole Miss without even seeing the campus beforehand. After earning a master's degree from Baptist-affiliated Mississippi College, he returned to Ole Miss to earn a doctorate in education leadership.
A computer scientist, Vitter was provost at the University of Kansas when he was chosen for the Ole Miss post in October 2015. He began work in 2016 and was paid $600,000 a year. After stepping down in January, Vitter remained as a distinguished professor in the School of Engineering. Larry Sparks, who was in charge of finance and administration, has been serving as interim chancellor.
Trustees refused to renew the contract of the previous chancellor, Dan Jones, citing disagreements over financial management at the University of Mississippi Medical Center. That decision sparked widespread protest.

Dapaongo (Togo), April 29, GNA- Mr Mark Owen Woyongo, Upper East Regional Minister, has called for unremitting cordial relations between Ghana, Togo and other neighbouring countries for sustainable development.
He noted that there was the need for West African countries to create conducive environment to facilitate the speedy development of the Sub- region.
The Minister made the call at the weekend in a solidarity message to the people of Dapaongo in Savannah Central-Togo, who were marking the 52nd anniversary of the Republic of Togo.
Mr Woyongo said Ghana and Togo had enjoyed the highest level of co-operation and understanding over the years, adding that whatever happened in any of the neighbouring countries affected the other countries directly or indirectly.
He therefore called for maximum co-operation and peace between the two countries, indicating that no meaningful and sustainable development could take place in an economy without peace.
"This can be justified by the fact that where there are turbulent situations, people cannot conveniently go about their normal business. I therefore call on all to be agents of peace in our respective communities especially in the sub-region," he stressed.
Mr Woyongo noted that the proliferation of small arms was causing serious security concerns in the sub-region as a result of recent developments in North-Africa and Cote d'Ivoire.
He therefore appealed for a concerted effort by both countries to co-operate in nipping in the bud the increased number of small arms in the sub region.
Haj Mossyamba Ali Seydou, Governor of the Savannah Region of Togo (Préfer de Tone), said Sylvanus Olympio, the First president of Togo led the country to attain independence on April 27 1960, adding that there had been sustained peace and stability in the country ever since.
He called for the continuation of the tripartite meetings between neighbouring communities to strengthen the tide that binds them.
The Governor of the South East Province of Burkina Faso, Madam Tchombiano Maimouna in a solidarity message called on the people of Togo to see their independence as a milestone of economic development.

CETNAJ is the one-stop shop for lighting, fans, electrical and data products.
The business offers a large range of items including LED downlights, exterior lighting and many types of pendant and floor lights.
The first Cetnaj branch opened in Kempsey in 1976.
It now has 44 stores nationwide and continues to grow as a strong brand.
Cetnaj opened its store in Ipswich in 2015. Brendan Jones led the store.
"We provide quality electrical, lighting and data products to tradesman, government bodies and councils as well as the general public," Mr Jones said.
The company prides itself on its service and claims to exceed customer expectations when supplying the right product on time.
Cetnaj can access hard to find products for its customers.
"I started out as a storeman and worked my way up the ladder so I have a good understanding of how the business works and what customers are looking for," Mr Jones said.
"I have managed the store since it first opened. I have been running the Murrarie store. I t is great to get back to this store and to lead it once again."
"We make it easy for the general public to make decisions about new fittings and switches.
"It is a real plus for customers to have good advice when renovating."
Cetnaj stocks top brands in its range of LED and bathroom lighting, exhaust ceiling fans, commercial lighting globes and fluorescents, hand tools, power points, and indoor and outdoor fittings. It also stocks accompanying accessories.
"I am very keen to make sure the city knows we are here. With all of the building and renovation work being undertaken in the city, we are a great option to provide the right product at a sensible price," Mr Jones said.
Cetnaj was founded by Martyn Richardson and John Connors in 1976.
It serviced electrical contractors on the mid-north coast of New South Wales.
The company profile states that its expertise and family spirit ensure Cetnaj stays at the very top of its game for the next chapter in its life.
Cetnaj's ties with Metal Manufacturers Ltd will strengthen future growth.
Mr Jones said current trends are based around contemporary and industrial looks.
Centnaj has developed its own range of products - Jantec - which includes data cabling and lighting.
"We cater to tradies and the general public and will provide advice and support to those who need it," Mr Jones said.
"The business continues to grow and has proven to be very successful."
Mr Jones said people are more conscious about which products to use in renovations and property developments.
"I hope that even more locals stop by and see our range in store. We have built our business on quality service," he said.
Cetnaj is based on 260 Brisbane St, West Ipswich, adjacent to the QT building.
It has ample off street parking.

Where Have All the People Gone? is a 1974 American made-for-television science fiction drama film starring Peter Graves, Kathleen Quinlan, George O'Hanlon, Jr. and Verna Bloom.

Plot
On a camping trip in the Sierra Nevada mountains in central California, Steven Anders and his two teenage children, Deborah and David, are exploring a cave when they experience an earthquake. After emerging, they hear from a ranch-hand who was outside that there was a bright solar flash prior to the earthquake. He soon falls ill and dies, whereupon his body turns to a powdery substance. As the family comes down from the mountain to the nearest town, they discover that everyone has turned to the powdery substance inside their clothing, and there are few survivors.

Owing to fear and anxiety, most people they find are focused only on their own survival, but as the family tries to make their way home to Malibu (where the mother had returned earlier from the camping trip), they find two people that need their help, as well as a man who invites them to be neighbors.

They face dangers ranging from wild dogs, who seem to have been driven mad from the solar flare, to a gunman who steals their car. They rescue a woman, Jenny, and later a young boy whose family was killed by two men who stole their car. Apart from the physical journey, they struggle to overcome the emotional trauma of the events.

They find their way home and discover a note left for them by the mother, who has also died and turned into a powdery substance. They are informed that a virus outbreak that began after the solar flare is responsible for most of the deaths, and that some people have a genetic resistance. Despairing, Jenny tries to commit suicide by drowning herself in the ocean, but she is rescued.  At the conclusion, they exude a hopeful outlook by embarking on a trek to northern California.

Cast
Peter Graves as Steven Anders
Verna Bloom as Jenny
Kathleen Quinlan as Deborah Anders
George O'Hanlon, Jr. as David Anders
Michael-James Wixted as Michael
Noble Willingham as Jim Clancy
Jay W. MacIntosh as Barbara Anders

Production

The film was made for NBC and directed by John L Moxey. The teleplay was written by Lewis John Carlino and Sandor Stern, from a story by Carlino. Starlog cited the movie as an intended TV pilot that was not picked up that was "better than many shows that ended up being made".

Reception

The website Moria found that while the movie was open-ended it found the movie's avoidance of the usual post-apocalyptic clichés to be a real plus. It also liked the mystery the movie presented and enjoyed the resolution, although its scientific validity was questionable. It noted the movie could have served as a pilot for an on-going TV series. The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction found the movie to be routine, with competent direction, and a few interesting twists. Apocalypse Movies liked it, calling it a rare TV movie to address post-apocalypse issues.

Home media
The film was released on region 1 DVD in 2011. As of June 2020, it was available to stream on YouTube

Memoirs From Pull and Be Damned Road
By Thomas G. Wilson Jr., DDS On Nov 18, 2021
When is a saving a tooth with advanced periodontal or endodontic involvement worth the time and effort? This question was brought to mind when an old friend returned a textbook that he borrowed in 1974. It was written in 1965 by John I. Ingle, DDS, MDS, a noted endodontist who taught at the University of Washington School of Dentistry and later became dean of the School of Dentistry at the University of Southern California.
According to the preface, Ingle had written the text during a long sabbatical at Snee-oosh Beach overlooking Puget Sound in the San Juan Islands, just north and west of Seattle. Hard-by the Beach was Pull And Be Damned Road (his capitalization). He cited several local landmarks, including Deception Pass and Hope Island, as metaphors to encourage the retention of endodontically involved teeth whenever possible.
While at first glance this would seem self-evident, it should be remembered that he was writing at a time when focal infection theory was waning, but still held as gospel by many clinicians. In spite of the fact his mindset was that of an endodontist writing in a different era, his basic premise still resonates.
IT IS TRUE TODAY THAT IT OFTEN TAKES LESS EFFORT TO REMOVE A TOOTH THAN FIGHT TO KEEP IT
It is true today that it often takes less effort to remove a tooth than fight to keep it. Whether the diagnosis is moderate to severe periodontitis, or a highly calcified or tortuous root system, the effort by the therapist and patient to keep the tooth — not to mention the economic and temporal consequences of treatment — can often be justified.
The questionable habit of quickly choosing extraction in these cases has been exacerbated after a large percentage of our profession came to appreciate the long-term success of root-form implants. One should not take this as a condemnation of dental implants; in fact, placing these devices is the primary source of my practice income. But while implants provide excellent replacements for natural dentition, they clearly lack some of the attributes of teeth — and they are not always perfect replacements.
The decision to retain or remove a tooth should be made with the realization that it belongs to a human being with individual ideas concerning tooth retention or removal. The desires and abilities of the patient who will be receiving therapy should always be taken into account. To successfully retain teeth with advanced periodontitis, patients must demonstrate they are willing to do their part in making therapy successful. Those who consent to the needed therapy, self-care, and maintenance are often good candidates for retaining their natural teeth. The same applies to individuals who present with difficult endodontic conditions.
While one does not wish for the Pull And Be Damned credo to be taken literally, it behooves us — and often benefits the patient — to respect clinical realities and, whenever possible, design therapies that retain the natural dentition.

Welcome to the Nuclear Receptor Signaling Atlas (NURSA) 3.0.
The mission of NURSA is to accrue, develop, and communicate information that advances our understanding of the roles of nuclear receptors (NRs) in human diseases and conditions in which NRs play an integral role. An interdisciplinary approach will result in the generation of new and complex datasets, leading to a more complete understanding of the role of NRs in the physiology and pathophysiology of common and chronic diseases including diabetes, obesity, metabolic dysregulation, response to the environment, and reproductive diseases and disorders.
NURSA began in 2002 with the objective to accrue, develop and communicate information about the nuclear receptor superfamily. Over the last ten years, NURSA has developed a website that has developed into a comprehensive source of information about nuclear receptors, and their co-regulators, ligands, and downstream targets. Through a series of integrated 'omics-scale and informatic approaches projects, NURSA has has fostered a systems biology understanding of nuclear receptor function, physiology and regulation of target gene networks in vivo.
The current NURSA Hub replaces the previous NURSA structure and is co-funded by NIDDK and NICHD. This NURSA Hub will continue to maintain the NURSA molecule pages, databases, and public portal, as well as the online peer-reviewed e-journal Nuclear Receptor Signaling (NRS). The Hub will provide a mechanism by which the information within this discovery/validation platform can be kept current and vital and be used by the broader research community. To provide innovative research input, the Hub will periodically solicit a series of NURSA data source projects (NDSP) from within and beyond the nuclear receptor community. Through a multi-disciplinary approach, these projects are expected to provide insight into the physiological and pathophysiological role of nuclear receptor signaling within the context of tissue and cell specific gene regulation. The PIs of these NDSPs will form a consortium of NURSA investigators that will contribute to the data flow to the NURSA Hub and will work together to elucidate the role of nuclear receptors in human metabolic and reproductive disease. We encourage you to peruse the NURSA webpage and investigate the rich data resources available, to apply to the NDSP announcements, to contribute to the datasets supported by the Hub, and to read the online journal NRS.
Funding for NURSA is provided through grant DK097748 from the National Institute of Diabetes, Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) with supplemental funding from the National Institute of Child Health and Development (NICHD).

Q: Inner Joins on 3 tables how to get the Id of the max values of a date? This is my query:
SELECT CON_ID, CON_CreatedBy, COM_DateTime FROM CON_Conversation
    INNER JOIN COU_ConversationUser AS cu USING (CON_ID)
    INNER JOIN COM_ConversationMessage AS cm USING (CON_ID)
WHERE cu.USR_ID = 4328 AND cm.USR_ID = 4328
ORDER BY CON_ID DESC

And this is my result:

Now I would like to return only the CON_Ids that have the MAX COM_DateTime.
How can I do this??

A: A subselect should work for you:
select CON_ID, max(COM_DateTime)
from
(
    SELECT CON_ID, COM_DateTime
    FROM CON_Conversation
    INNER JOIN COU_ConversationUser AS cu USING (CON_ID)
    INNER JOIN COM_ConversationMessage AS cm USING (CON_ID)
    WHERE cu.USR_ID = 4328 AND cm.USR_ID = 4328
    ORDER BY CON_ID DESC
) as sub
group by CON_ID
ORDER BY max(COM_DateTime) DESC

A: It's not that clear what you're asking. As I understood your question you want something like "latest con_id", right?!
SELECT CON_ID FROM CON_Conversation
    INNER JOIN COU_ConversationUser AS cu USING (CON_ID)
    INNER JOIN COM_ConversationMessage AS cm USING (CON_ID)
WHERE cu.USR_ID = 4328 AND cm.USR_ID = 4328
ORDER BY COM_DateTime DESC
LIMIT 1

The query gives you the con_id for the max(COM_DateTime). It's ordered by COM_DateTime and only keeping the first row and returning its con_id.
I am assuming that it is ok to just have returned any con_id for the case when having multiple rows with identical max(COM_DateTime).

So that's cool, some of those things are just bugs that I need to fix, but some of them are more conceptual. Mostly the reactor thing needs to be made more fun, and also I need to think of a way to make the map room more intuitive. The oxygen system does make sense, but it just needs a better explanation. Hopefully I will be able to wrestle my willpower away from FFXIV and actually do some game dev soon, but its jaws are powerful.
This was kind of weird. I don't know what the Matrix partners do, but apparently they are some cool investment thing that gave Oculus 60 million to make the king of head mounted displays. Their office is in some super high end building thing in Cambridge, and parking is free if you know the magic word. You go up to the 17th floor and wander through these big glass sliding doors and then you're in a monochromatic color scheme conference zoo. Everything is a tasteful shade of off-white and there is a super slick desk with a secretary greeter person who asks you to sign in. After that, it's just a big island table (covered in pizza, for this event) and various places to sit. It's really weird to have an office just to have a place for conferences but I guess so.
At the event, they had two of the high-def rift prototypes (1080p panels) and trying out one of them in what seemed like the Unreal 4 demo, it was really really impressive. You can still see the pixels, but it's good enough. I mean, in the same way with the first dev-kit, you can kind of forget about the pixels, but with the high def prototype, it's even better because the pixels aren't that apparent unless you're looking for them. The demo that I saw was a snowy outside area of castle, and then inside was some lava and a mean golem guy that yells. And also you can shoot crazy GPU particle effects out of your face (as usual). Once I got to the golem thing, it growled at me and then I press some of the d-pad things and the screen tore in half and oops I broke it. But it was cool up until then!
I met a bunch of the Boston Indies guys there, and also Benjamin and Antonio. Benjamin is the guy putting together the talk on Rift development that's happening in November, and Antonio is the king of the Matrix partners who apparently decided to give all the funding to Oculus. I have his card, and supposedly there is a way to get "face time" with him so that I can do something? I mean, is my game dev thing the kind of thing that receives "seed funding" or am I just a guy trying to make a video game?
I don't know, but I haven't gotten an email from anyone regarding a big check yet. Oh, and I misheard Dave Evans about demo night at the Boston Indie Games Collective.
Now this is super cool. The indie collective is a group of local game developers that rent out a space in a big room and they all work on games independently but can also talk to each other and get feedback on stuff and it's pretty much way better than making games in your room by yourself. It's somewhere in Cambridge and also it's hard to find unless you know the name of the place that rents the space (intrepid labs). In fact, it was fairly unlucky because I searched the first, second and third floors, and it just happened to be in the attic, suspended from the ceiling by big metal poles. I showed up for the demo night myth and well, it wasn't demo night. But that didn't matter because I had super awesome conversations with a bunch of the Boston Indies guys like Trevor, Erik, Luigi and Elliott. We talked about everything from networking code to the graphics pipeline. I saw Trevor's rhythm monkey strategy game and Erik's disco dodgeball, and also there was free beer. But I don't drink, so free ginger ale? Yeah.
I asked about getting some space so that I could work with them at the indie games collective, but unfortunately there is no availability until some of the other companies move out. Dang.
Here's the link to the eventbrite. I was asked to give a talk on echobox and the Rift integration. Apparently the idea is to invite game developers, students and faculty to show off how cool the Boston community is for game developers and also learning about game development. Benjamin said that there are even some acoustics R&D people who are interested in hearing about how I did the acoustic propagation for the echobox. Which is exciting. When I released echobox, nobody cared, which is a shame because I think some of the technology is really cool and hasn't really ever been done before in a game. So it's neat that some people are actually interested in it now. But this also means that I have to put together a presentation for it. I could talk a lot about echobox, but unfortunately they want to limit it to stuff about the Rift, and unfortunately again, the rift integration was pretty easy (except for some adjustments per-eye in the ray-marching algorithm). I think I'll figure out how to sneak in a bunch of stuff about the simulation because that is the coolest part. Though, it's only a half hour. Anyways, if you are in the Boston area on November 2nd, you should totally go and see me give a talk there!
So that's all the cool stuff that I've been going to in Boston, and if you see me around, be sure to say Hi, or bye, or something, anything really.

After giving the country few of the best "Brom-coms" in a row, Kartik Aaryan is all set to give in a new defination to the romantic-comedy genre with his upcoming film 'Luka Chuppi'. Shot in the actor's hometown, this Kartik Aaryan and Kriti Sanon starrer movie is a giggle ride with the best pinch of romance! The trailer of the film dropped a day back and we kid you not, it promises to be the best rom-coms of the year. While the entire cast ensemble of the the film is something to look forward to, we'd say its Kartik who stole the show for us.
The makers of the film released the trailer on 24th in front of the media and the reactions are insanely overwhelming, especially for our star boy. While the press absolutely loved the trailer and adored the chemistry between Kartik and Kriti, the reactions of Kartik's fans are heartwarming to another level. They love the transformation that Kartik has carried from Sonu to Guddu with a remarkable ease. They love this new humourous take on Live-in relationship and marriages.
The concept of love but no commitment is quite a relatable phenomenon for the youth today and to tangle it with Kartik Aaryan's comic timing and Kriti Sanon's chemistry with him is definitely worth a watch! It's a laugh riot that people certainly do not wish to miss.

iPhone SE might have one of the most ambiguous futures in the Apple product lineup. Its blast-from-the-past design casts it as the final (for now) official iPhone from Apple with a 4-inch display, and although its A9 processor still holds its own today in 2019, it's no secret an updated revival would do wonders.
The latest concept video shows off some enticing SE 2 imaginative thinking, including an edge-to-edge display via notch and a full glass rear presumably for wireless Qi charging support — an infamous camera bump even makes an appearance, too.
ConceptsiPhone shows off the render in a number of colors, including gold, red, silver and blue.
Previously, concepts creator Ran Avni has created similar Apple-esqué videos for the upcoming iPhone 11 and its triple camera unit, which you can view here and here.
The full render video for the alleged iPhone SE 2 can be viewed below.
As for past iPhone SE rumors, reports have swirled and been generally mixed. In September, many felt all hope was lost for a successor to the device following its official sales discontinuation from Apple. However, last we heard of any official SE 2 rumors came back in May of last year, when leaker Sonny Dickson posted sketchy images of screen protectors which appeared to insinuate the smartphone's successor featuring a smaller notch.
What do you think about this possible iPhone SE 2 concept? Are you a fan?

Some people think annulment and divorce are the same thing, and the terms are sometimes then used interchangeably. That couldn't be further from the truth, as both have distinct meanings and different consequences. If you want to end your marriage and have questions, it's important to speak with a knowledgeable Boca Raton divorce attorney to understand what your legal options are.
Both annulments and divorce signal the end of a marriage, but in different ways. A divorce signals the end of a valid marriage, while an annulment treats it as though the marriage never legally existed. An annulment essentially means the marriage was never legally formed and therefore it can end without a formal divorce. This also means you aren't required to state on official forms and government documents that you are divorced.
While both processes have different legal meanings and consequences, there are some similarities. One of these is undergoing asset distribution like a regular divorce filing. This includes dividing property, possible alimony, and child custody.
Annulments are not always straightforward and can be complex. A marriage that is voidable is one that can be annulled or affirmed, depending on the desires of the non-offender spouse. And, there is important timing that has to be adhered to. If the non-offending spouse knows about the problem but chooses to continue cohabitation with the spouse, he or she would not be eligible for an annulment down the line.
You still need a court filing to initiate an annulment hearing. Since there is an assumption that a marriage is legally valid, the party filing the petition has the burden to prove the marriage was void or voidable.
When you file a petition for divorce, it means you are wishing to end a valid marriage. Even marriages that could be voidable may end in divorce if they don't meet the annulment requirements or waited too long.
Is an Annulment Worth It?
While it's certainly desirable not to have a documented divorce for many people, getting an annulment is not necessarily an easy and quick process. It's typically more complex than a divorce, and it can be more expensive. You could go through the entire process and get to the final hearing only to have the judge deny your request. Because annulments are tricky, you also need to retain a Florida family law attorney who has experience handling successful annulments.
If you have questions regarding annulments or need assistance with terminating a Florida marriage, contact the Law Offices of Schwartz | White. Call our Boca Raton office at 561-391-9943 to schedule a consultation.

Having announced my goal for the year, and officially getting accepted, here are the things I am looking for in my RRP horse. I know that to meet all these criteria may not be possible so I expect to compromise on something. But, it is always fun to have a dream horse checklist in hand while I go look. Who knows maybe I will find a unicorn that meets all of these criteria!
SOUND - I went against my gut when I bought Val and I'm not making that mistake again! I need a horse that is undeniably sound.
Jumping Bloodlines - obviously a horse that has bloodlines that are known to be good jumpers is what I'm after. I don't really care if the horse wants to be a hunter or jumper, but jumping is what I do so I want a horse that will be inclined towards that discipline.
Slow Legged - this means that I want a horse that is maybe a little slower to react or get going. Thoroughbreds are pretty sensitive anyway so a slower one is the perfect balance for me. And a slower TB makes for an easier resell.
16.1-17 Hands - I'm 6' tall so getting anything smaller I would look huge on and once they hit 17+hh I feel like they are harder to sell and just have too much body to know what to do with.
Cute Face & Personality- I want to fall in love with their face! I want to gush over them everyday, and let's face it (pun not intended) some horses don't have the cutest faces. And I want a horse with a snuggly, happy personality to be able to bond with and enjoy being around.
Mare or Gelding - I don't really care either way here, but I'm leaning towards a mare. I understand them and have loved every one I've ever ridden. But, I know a mare is harder to sell so I'm open to a gelding as well.
Any Color - I definitely don't care what color the horse is, but I would die to get a dark dappled grey! I don't care about having to keep them clean, they are just so pretty!
Not Expensive - unfortunately my budget is very small! I know that this will definitely limit my options, but searching for unicorns is never easy.
Versatile - I want a horse I could feel confident doing anything on! I want them brave but chill for anything from cross country to beach riding to learning new disciplines.
That's good to know because I have been asking myself a lot of those same questions.
