Story and Layouts by Richard Marazano
Pencils and Inks by Jean-Michael Ponzio
Lettering by Fawn Lau
Script translation by Edward Gauvin
Archaia Entertainment
Cover Price: $19.95
Genetiks is the story of Thomas Hale, an engineer at a powerful company that deals in the research and development of scientific innovation, primarily in the field of genetics. Hale submits his DNA code to Genetiks, his employer, as a way of accepting his life as an engineer for a large firm, and when it's his DNA code that finally gets cracked, he's more than happy to give his life to the company. Things starting shaking up, though, when Hale starts having violent and disturbing flashes of hallucinations or memories which leads him to question his company's motivations. Rightly so, as what they are up to is not for the faint of heart. While the concept and story of Genetiks are highly intriguing, I was not in love with the final product.
Now let's start off with just the basics. I always have a bit of trouble reading a lot of Archaia's comics due to the fact that most were written in a completely different language and have been translated to English, and while Edward Gauvin and others that have worked in translating these scripts before do a fantastic job, the end result is not the best possible scenario. It honestly feels that a lot of the tone of the story is lost in that translation and it's hard to get past that in some instances throughout the comic, which is unfortunate because the concept here is a great one.
The story from Richard Moranzo is the kind of story I go crazy over. As little experience that I've had in laboratories and science classes, the ideas of genetic manipulation and overpowered conglomerates that populate so much science fiction, which are coming closer to being science fact, are stories that I absolutely love to read. Books like Brave New World and movies like Gattaca are some of my favorites, and Genetiks fits comfortably in that mold. It's a story that's been told several times, but every few years, the concepts deserve an updated version considering all of the rapid developments in science over the past few years. So, if you're out for a truly compelling story that will keep you turning the pages, Genetiks is for you. Even though I loved the ideas and intrigue being presented in the comic, there's still a lot that I wasn't crazy about. The plot is so high concept that at points the comic seems to move to fast to catch details that seem extremely important. Also, the comic just kind of ends. I've seen that Archaia's website and Amazon have listed this as "volume one," so I hope there's more to this story, because the ending definitely feels like it cheats you out of real resolution that the reader deserves. As I said, this comic is not my favorite, but I truly enjoyed the story.
And although I loved the script, the other large portion of graphic storytelling fell flat for me. Personally, I am not a fan of the art in this book in the least. It's a photorealistic style from Jean-Michael Ponzio that just rubs me the wrong way. I understand the desire for a realistic style, especially to accompany a story of science and genetics, but I would have preferred something along the lines of what Jonathan Hickman has done in books like Pax Romana which takes a realistic look at people, but also makes it still feel like you're reading a comic book as opposed to a book of very good graphic design. And I want to stress that the art is very well done. The colors and inks are all wonderful and the photorealistic style of Ponzio is good for that style, but I'm just not a fan of that style. That said, I also don't believe that this style works for the script that was produced. There's a real disconnect between the story and the art where incredibly serious matters of life and death are being discussed by main players in the story that simply does not translate with the art. You could have a discussion between Thomas and his love interest/liberator about Thomas' life being ruined or shocking revelations that lead the story to some crazy twists while the facial expressions are happy with smiling faces like they're talking about their favorite rays of sunshine. It just doesn't work. I will say, however, that Ponzio's backgrounds and non-character art is perfect. I even found myself wanting to see the style that was applied to the background characters that lacked a lot of detail to be brought to the main characters. There's a lot like about the art, but I just feel like it didn't work.
All in all, there's a lot to love and a lot to not like so much with Genetiks, but if you're wanting to switch up your normal comics routine with some interesting high concept science that will keep you turning the pages for answers, I'd absolutely suggest you pick this book up.

I may be biased about this film as I was in a production of it 7 years ago where I met my current girlfriend and future wife (sounds familiar after watching this film). But this is the film and I tried my hardest not to compare it to the stage musical. I have to say I was impressed.
The script holds up incredibly well. The comedy is all still laughable and not as dated as per usual of films from this era. At times it felt very scripted, but that's just the style of the time period and the genre.
And it's interesting that the main synopsis of the film is actually the B plot. As the movie is really about guys and dolls–as simple as that sounds–it's ingeniously disguised as a film showing a glimpse of the world of underground gambling. And the music goes beautifully with what the main themes of the story are. Even one of the gambling songs (Luck Be A Lady) begs for monogamy from a supernatural force.
The performances of all four lead were great too! Although I'm pretty sure I caught Frankie acting on a couple lines. But I'll let it slide since he was very convincing otherwise. And the characters may not have been as deep as can be, but they were very well defined–which is the least you can expect from a musical comedy.
The only thing that I would do differently would be for Sky Masterson and Sarah Brown to not get married at the end with Nathan and Adelaide. It takes away from their moment a little bit, and it doesn't make much sense why Sarah wouldn't get married in a church since she is a holy roller after all. They should have showed them getting engaged or something like that instead.
Overall, Guys and Dolls is silly and fun and a quick two and a half hours of your time! I definitely recommend a watch!

My Life In Video
Throwback with Forbes
Marilu HennerForbes Riley2017-08-12T15:52:01-04:00
I first saw Marilu Henner on the tv series Taxi – she was so funny, so sexy and had the best chemistry with Tony Danza and Danny DeVito – classic comedy
and then got to work together on the movie based the real life incident called the Irvine Fertility Scandal.
And then several years later, yes, I got her to SpinGym
LOS ANGELES – NOV 20: Marilu Henner at the Connected's Celebrity Gift Suite celebrating the 2010 American Music Awards at Ben Kitay Studios in Los Angeles, CA
Dancing With the Stars pro dancer Derek Hough is a six-time mirror ball trophy winner while his season 23 partner Marilu Henner is a five-time Emmy nominee, and together they are the ones to beat.
"I'm, like, a rabid fan," Henner tells ET of the ABC dance competition show. "I've been following everybody on Dancing With the Stars for years. I know everybody, and I tweet about them."
Despite all her studying of the show, the 64-year-old Taxi star was still surprised to learn who her partner would be.
"I had an out-of-body experience, because he wasn't even on my radar," Henner explains. "He was gone doing Singin' in the Rain and Hairspray, so I didn't even think about Derek. And then the door opens and I scream and I cry and then there's that second of, 'Oh my God! Did I superimpose Derek Hough's face on somebody else who's really standing there?' — an apparition?!"
While the pairing is a dream come true for Henner, it's still a lot of work. The dancing partners rehearse four hours a day and then Henner goes home and practices for an additional two more hours by herself. When you combine their work ethic to Henner's dancing background, it's hard to imagine anyone getting the best of this ballroom duo.

re: INS Sindhurakshak Tragedy
I wonder if any one has ever salvaged a sub that been sunk for several months and operated it again.
"The submarine's internal structure, especially in the weapons and other chambers close to the nose, has been severely damaged and mangled. The vessel's outer hull has also developed cracks, with its water-tight integrity breaking," said an officer.
Since it had just returned from Russia from a refit in June 2013, am assuming it would have to be returned to Russia for repairs.

INS Sindhurakshak likely to be moved out of water in 4 months
More than six months after its submarine sank in the Mumbai harbour, the Navy on Tuesday said it was close to finalise a contract to salvage the vessel which was expected to be moved out of water in another four months.
The sinking of the vessel has also resulted in the Navy to seek upgrades and life enhancement of its four Kilo class Russian and two German HDW class submarines, Navy sources said here.
The file regarding the contract for salvaging the vessel has been sent to the Defence Ministry and it is expected to be sanctioned by it very soon, they said.
Navy's Russian-built INS Sindhurakshak submarine had sunk on August 14 last year in its harbour after an explosion in its torpedo section killing all the 18 personnel on board and its salvaging would help the Navy to complete its inquiry into the reasons behind the incident.
The foreign vendor has sought 45 days to bring his heavy instruments to the accident site and another three months for salvaging the vessel and putting it in a dry-dock, they said.
Soon after the mishap, the Navy chief had stated that the inquiry would be completed in four weeks but later it was realised that it would not be possible to do so without bringing it out of water.
After the mishap, the Navy is now going for upgrading the capabilities of its four Russian-origin Kilo class vessels and two HDW submarines.
They said the sinking of the Sindhurakshak has not resulted in putting extra burden on the remaining vessels.
The force was also close to finalising the contract for procuring deep sea rescue vessels, which will be useful in rescuing submariners in case of a mishap in deep sea to evacuate them.
A submarine will be showcased in the Navy tableau at this year's Republic Day parade.

Salvaging INS Sindhurakshak to cost upto 300 crore, Navy tells MoD
After an exhaustive study, an empowered committee of the Indian Navy has submitted to the Ministry of Defence (MoD) that to salvage the sunk, Kilo-class submarine INS Sindhurakshak, will cost upto 300 crore. However, the MOD is yet to respond. It was learnt that a final decision on this is now being awaited since the MoD is 'vetting the entire proposal'. It was also learnt that the navy has recommended a particular firm in its report to the MoD.
In the wake of the multiple explosions ripping apart the submarine, within the harbour, causing it to sink and killing all those onboard, the navy had not only constituted a Board of Inquiry (BoI) but also an expert committee which was to analyse and recommend a suitable agency for salvaging the ship. The committee, it was reliably learnt had experts from all walks of the navy towards giving it a comprehensive footing.
"Almost a fortnight ago, this committee wrapped up its work and the report came from Mumbai, where it was being prepared under the aegis of the Western Naval Command (WNC) to Delhi. MoD will revert to the navy soon," said an MOD official.
That the navy is keen to get this signed and work commenced was obvious from the remarks made by the Admiral DK Joshi, Chief of Naval Staff on the occasion of Navy Day in 2013. He had said, "Work order towards salvaging the submarine may just be announced any day now as the navy is about to conclude final set of negotiations with three firms which have submitted commercial bids." Not only is the BoI incomplete without this submarine being salvaged but it is also holding up space in the space-crunched naval dockyard, Mumbai.
Navy finalising Rs 250cr contract to salvage INS Sindhurakshak
The Navy is close to finalising a contract expected to cost over Rs 250 crore for salvaging submarine INS Sindhurakshak, which sank in Mumbai harbour six months ago after an explosion in its torpedo section.
The file regarding the contract for salvaging the vessel has been sent to the Defence Ministry and it is expected to be sanctioned by it very soon, Navy officials said today.
Meanwhile, a senior naval officer of the rank of Rear Admiral was summoned by his superiors in Mumbai against the backdrop of series of mishaps involving naval vessels including its frontline frigates.
After the series of incidents involving naval warships, the Commanding officer of INS Talwar has been removed from his post after his vessel was involved in a collision with a fishing trawler, injuring four persons on board and sinking the vessel.
The force was also close to finalising the contract for procuring deep sea rescue vessels, which will be useful in rescuing submariners in case of a mishap in deep sea.
Indian arm of US company wins Sindhurakshak salvage bid
Resolve India, a subsidiary of the US-based Resolve Marine Group, has won the bid tosalvage the 16-year-old submarine, INS Sindhurakshak, which sank at the naval dockyard on August 14 last year following a series of explosions in its forward portions, killing three officers and 15 sailors on board. The contract was signed by the Indian Navy on January 31. Sources said the bid amount quoted for the salvage operations was below Rs 240 crore. India bought INS Sindhurakshak in 1997 for $113 million and upgraded it later for $156 million or around Rs 800 crore.
Resource mobilization for salvage operations started in the first week of February. The company has to bring its "salvage masters and dive support teams†as well as heavy-duty equipment to the mishap site within 45 days. The actual salvaging could take another three to four months. "The salvage operation for the sunken submarine is estimated approximately below Rs 250 crore. It will also take a while to complete the entire exercise as 90% of the ordnance on the vessel is still intact†a source said.
Meanwhile, the dredging work to increase the depth of the seabed where the submarine sunk commenced last December . "The current depth of the seabed where the sub sunk is approximately five-feet that will increase by another eight-feet once dredging is complete so that the vessel to carry out the salvage operations can sail in,†said a defence spokesperson.
The final report in the sub explosion is yet to be prepared. "Once the sub is lifted out of water , the board of inquiry committee will conduct the chemical analysis to ascertain the cause for the explosion after which the final report will be prepared,†the official added. Preliminary probe indicated it was "an accident or inadvertent mishandling of ammunition†that caused things to spiral out of control with some missile and torpedo warheads exploding in "sympathetic detonationâ€.

Salvage work on sunk submarine finally kicks off in Mumbai
New Delhi: The complex salvage operation to "fish out" INS Sindhurakshak and carefully extricate its unexploded missiles and torpedoes is now finally kicking off, six months after the 3,000-tonne submarine sank due to internal explosions and killed three officers and 15 sailors at the Mumbai naval dockyard.
Defence ministry sources on Wednesday said the almost Rs 240 crore salvage contract has been inked with Resolve India, a subsidiary of the US-based Resolve Marine Group, which has to bring its "salvage masters and dive support teams" as well as heavy-duty equipment to the mishap site within 45 days. The actual salvaging could take another three-four months.
"It will be a challenging task since the submarine, with internal deformation due to the series of explosions in the forward weapons compartment, is submerged in eight metres of water. It cannot be simply lifted out since its structural integrity is suspect. The room for manoeuvre is also limited due to the limited depth," said a source.
Moreover, the Kilo-class submarine still has the bulk of its torpedoes and Klub-S missiles strewn inside after being dislodged from their six firing tubes and 12 racks in the boat's nose. INS Sindhurakshak was fully-loaded with 18 missiles and torpedoes since it was to head for a long patrol just a few hours after the mishap took place on August 14.
There is little likelihood of the missiles and torpedoes being "unstable" since they have already been exposed to explosions, high pressure and temperatures, apart from being underwater for such a long time. "But handling of unexploded ammunition is always a tricky job," said an expert.
The Navy will be able to complete its pending board of inquiry (BoI) only after forensic and other examination of the submarine take place. As reported earlier, preliminary findings indicated it was "an accident or inadvertent mishandling of ammunition" that caused things to spiral out of control with some missile and torpedo warheads exploding in "sympathetic detonation".
INS Sindhurakshak, incidentally, had returned to India in April last year after undergoing an over two-year "mid-life medium refit-cum-upgradation" in Russia at a cost of $156 million. When the submarine was inducted in December 1997, it had cost $113 million, as was first reported by TOI.
The accident punched a big hole into the Navy's underwater combat arm, leaving it with only 13 aging diesel-electric submarines - nine Kilo-class of Russian origin and four HDW of German-origin. Only half of them are operational at any given time.

How could Sindhurakshak sink: Parl panel asks Navy
A baffled Parliamentary panel has asked the navy how could INS Sindhurakshak, a kilo-class submarine, explode and sink within months of undergoing a costly upgrade in Russia.
HT was first to raise questions about the quality of upgrade the warship underwent in Russia before it was handed over to the navy in January 2013. The upgrade was carried out at a cost of more than 815 crore.
In a report tabled in Lok Sabha Tuesday, the Parliamentary standing committee on defence asked the navy to take steps to reduce mishaps and protect the lives of trained crew — 18 personnel were killed when the submarine went down.
The panel also asked the force to take measures to safeguard "sophisticated machines." It asked the navy to pinpoint the cause of the accident, as such incidents "would be catastrophic and adversely affect the morale of naval personnel" on other warships.
The Russian-origin warship is still nose-down in water, with the navy recently awarding a 240-crore contract to a US firm for salvaging the warship.
The Russian shipyard that upgraded the submarine under a 2010 contract had claimed it had installed advanced weapons and systems to enhance the boat's combat capability.
The mid-life upgrade on the warship — the ninth in a series of 10 Kilo-class undersea killers bought from Russia —- was intended to increase the life of the vessel by at least 10 years.
The submarine underwent an overhaul there for nearly 18 months. A modern Club-S missile system was installed on the submarine along with more than 10 foreign and Indian systems. The Russian shipyard has modernised five conventional Indian Navy submarines since 1997.
After the INS Sindhurakshak accident, defence minister AK Antony had asked the navy brass to "optimally operate" the country's assets and ensure these were not "frittered away."
Meanwhile, the Comptroller and Auditor General on Monday picked holes in the navy's refit management, arguing that "considerable delays" in carrying out repairs had led to warships not being available for operational roles.
TSUNAMI Captain SENIOR MEMBER
INS Sindhurakshak brought out of water after 10 months.
Ten months after it sank following an explosion killing all 18 personnel on board, the Russian- origin Kilo Class submarine INS Sindhurakshak has been brought out of water and rested on a pontoon in the naval dockyards in Mumbai.

There are not many who can understand comprehend the working & living conditions prevailing in a sub: it is difficult for the other defence personel and impossible for the normal citizen!!
It is very easy to point the finger and blame anyone, in reality there many factors that cause an accident in the best maintained sub belonging to the superpowers. Our attitude to quality is more are less the same in all walks of life, defence is no different. Check the shop floor of the a Japanese, American and English heavy engineering factory and compare it with the best facility of our country........................ Miles apart!
It is very sad that we lost some of our officers and men in this accident is all we can say....... Leaving the Board of Enquiry and the Court marshal (If it concludes) Let us make all effort to bring in this attitude change on Quality conciousness.

London is about to celebrate the birthday of Queen Elizabeth II: why She celebrates 2 birthday
Queen Elizabeth II officially celebrates her 93rd birthday this Saturday. A parade will take place in London, and the royal family (almost) in full will be present.
Trooping The Color
She was born April 21, 1926, but it is this weekend that the Queen of England celebrates her 93 years. Each year, on the second Saturday of June, Elizabeth II celebrates her official birthday at Trooping The Color, a military parade in the heart of London.
The queen is then joined by the other members of the royal family for the military parade of "salute with colors", and on the balcony of Buckingham Palace for a public appearance.
Today, The Queen attended Royal Maundy Service at St George's Chapel. Royal Maundy is one of the most ancient ceremonies retained in the Church of England. Monarchs including Elizabeth I have taken part in the custom, which falls on the Thursday before Easter and commemorates the Maundy and Last Supper of Jesus Christ with the Apostles. Accompanied by her granddaughter @princesseugenie, The Queen commemorates Maundy by offering 'alms' to retired pensioners, who have been recommended by clergy and ministers of all denominations, in recognition of their service to the church and to the local community. #RoyalMaundy 📷 1 & 3 PA Images
A post shared by The Royal Family (@theroyalfamily) on Apr 18, 2019 at 6:40am PDT
A parade will take place in the streets of the British capital, which will involve 1400 soldiers. 41 guns will be fired in honor of the queen. Then, all the prominent members of the royal family will parade past Buckigham Palace before meeting on the balcony.
The family reunited
The British are waiting for the presence of Prince Louis , the third child of Prince William and Kate Middleton , who should make his debut for the occasion. On the other hand, there is no indication that his cousin Archie , the son of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle , will make an appearance, having been born barely a month ago. It is also probable that Prince Philip is not part of the procession; Almost 98 years old, the husband of Elizabeth II announced her withdrawal from public life in 2017 .

Let's set something straight for young people. Serendipitous inventions are not for the most part accidents. There is a lot more to the ingenuity behind their development.
In schools we might tell students about the accidental discovery of penicillin. But, while the effects were in fact fortuitously discovered in 1928 by Alexander Fleming, it wasn't until World War II until significant life-saving results were achieved and the drug was being mass-produced. Read the Wikipedia entry for penicillin; dozens of people had a hand in taking the important steps, which tells me that hundreds probably worked on it. This doesn't sound too accidental to me.
One can read all about Spencer Silver and Art Fry as the inventors of the Post-it note. Yet, as far as I can read Silver invented a low-tack re-positionable adhesive and Fry applied that solution to a bookmark. The story goes that Silver was actually trying to develop a very strong adhesive, but I have trouble finding a good source for that part of the story.
Read more about the development of the Post-it and you'll find more about its far from accidental development. Silver thought his adhesive would make for a great spray or coating, but those ideas weren't recognized as marketable by the company. Thanks to the promotion of the practice "bootlegging" by the 3M Company, which was the encouragement of people stepping out of their own work and departments to find out what others in the company were doing, Art Fry found an application for the adhesive. He thought it could be a good solution for keeping bookmarks in his hymnal book at church. It took another few years of internal promotion at 3M, another five years to perfect the product specifications and manufacture it. Ultimately, this story of ingenuity has led to over 4000 Post-it Brand products today.
Let's make sure that young people don't learn about these types of developments as strictly fortuitous or accidental. Let's encourage them to look deeper into things to instead find that they are the results of hard work over long periods of time by many different people of various backgrounds.
Update: 2/22/11 – Here's an interesting article on HowStuffWorks.com about ten "accidental" inventions.

Mornings. They come early don't they? I love the peace and quiet, the cooler temperature, and the fresh start of a new day. But it's just so, well, early.
Some of you may remember that I'm not really a morning person. So you can guess that the last thing I want to do when I wake up is cook breakfast. I'm always looking for an easy out when it comes to the first meal of the day.
In the past, I've relied on items that can be prepared the night before, like hard-boiled eggs, homemade granola bars, egg casseroles and the like. But just recently I was inspired by something I saw on Pinterest.
I'm kind of new to the Pinterest phenomena, a recent convert. Facebook was enough for me to keep up with, so I never bothered with Pinterest. Until recently. And now, well, I "pin" something new just about every day.
For those who don't know, Pinterest is a photo-sharing web and mobile app that serves as a kind of digital corkboard. You can "pin" images and videos that interest you to your own pinboards. My boards include fashion, travel and, of course, food. I have found that Pinterest is a handy way to store ideas, interests and obsessions for easy access. Plus, it doesn't take up any wall space in my kitchen.
One thing I saw frequently in my online Pinterest perusal was breakfast in a jar. Oats, yogurt and fruit layered in a mason or canning jar stored overnight in the fridge. Voila! Breakfast is ready and waiting before I even open my eyes in the morning. This is my kind of breakfast.
Well, the running joke with Pinterest users is you know you've been spending too much time on Pinterest when you start eating everything from salad to dessert out of a mason jar. And there is some truth to that, but I was willing to try out this easy breakfast idea.
This recipe calls for Greek yogurt, which has become very popular in the past few years. You may be wondering what makes Greek yogurt so different from the regular yogurt we've been eating all this time? Greek yogurt is sometimes called strained yogurt because it is strained of the liquid whey. Since the extra liquid and lactose are drained off, the resulting yogurt is thick, rich and creamy. It also can be easier to digest for those with a slight lactose intolerance because of the breakdown in the milk sugars.
Another plus to Greek yogurt is the higher protein content. A one-cup serving of Greek yogurt can contain 20 grams of protein. Getting the right amount of protein is important, especially as we age. For adults over age 65, the protein needs increase to between 1 and 1.2 grams per kilogram a day.
I've enjoyed making this magical breakfast in a jar for several weeks now and appreciate that it is easy, delicious and keeps me full until lunchtime. It is fun to change up the fruit and topping combinations, and play around with flavors. Plus I don't have to cook anything in the morning!
Add oats to your container of choice and pour in milk. Layer Greek yogurt, chia seeds, and mixed fruit and berries. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Enjoy in the morning! Top with toasted nuts for extra crunch.
Variations: There are lots of variations possible, and the sky is the limit! Some ideas include substituting bananas, blueberries, or other fruits for the mixed berries. You can also substitute peanut butter or Nutella in place of Greek yogurt. Honey, maple syrup, jam and agave are all sweetener add-ins. For some crunch, add toasted nuts, flax seeds, toasted coconut or chia seeds just before eating.

Review: American Latin Music (ALM) is the fusion sound created over the past two decades mostly in California by Latinos who were raised in the US as children, spoke Spanish at home and listened to cumbia, and ranchero and other music from Central and South America but spoke English at school and listened to rock/ rap/blues/pop and are now mixing them all up in a new genre.
But another kind of ALM evolved in New York and Miami, one that added the distinct music of Cuba to the mix. A pioneer of that revolution is Elsten Fulano Torres, who was brought to New York at the age of 2, surrounded by Cuban music at home but followed Elvis and rock in high school. Fortunately, he later absorbed the music of his native Cuba in his twenties and set out on a career to make a new contemporary music mix. That career now includes six albums, two Grammy nominations, a #1 song on Billboard and songwriting credits with Ricky Martin and Oscar D'Leon and other superstars who have recorded his new music. In his latest album, Éxitos Acústicos, Torres brings you five songs made famous by artists ranging from Julio Iglesias, Jr. to David Bisbal, but done his way, plus an original song, recorded in Spanish and Portuguese that chronicle the changes in life and music.
Torres assembled the album with his Grammy-winning producer Rodolfo Castillo to try and recreate the hits recorded by international Latin stars in an organic acoustic way to give them the feel and emotion that energized their creation. In this way, Torres and Castillo hoped that these songs will be rediscovered and re-embraced as widely and joyfully as they were when they were originally released. Torres and Castillo need not worry on that score; if anything, Torres's hits, stripped of the superstar production and presented in a simple, authentic Latin style, feel like part of the family. They settle into your conscious, your blood, and your life regardless of what language you speak or country you sprang from. They are comfortable friends, a joy to meet and welcome into your home and play over and over again.
Éxitos Acústicos, opens with "Caramelo", originally recorded by multiple Grammy-winner, Alejandra Guzmán, known as "La Reina del Rock" for 16 rock albums reaching 10 million sales. Where Guzmán recorded and performed "Caramelo" in her hard rock style with female backup vocals and hard driving drums and guitars, Torres brings his song to life with jazz-like Cuban brush drum beats, rhythm guitar and what sounds like a vibraphone or xylophone. His smooth voice moves your body along with the verses while bringing just the right amount of angst to the chorus, Caramelo, tengo el major, Caramelo cualquier sabor. If there were not more songs to go, you would just put this one on repeat and bounce sweetly through the rest of your day.
But there are more, starting with 'Los Demás", originally recorded by Julio Iglesias, Jr. and uploaded as a video in 2009 with a steady snare beat and electric guitar down strokes. Torres brings a softer rhythm guitar and subdued Cuban jazz drums while loading emotions into the song with a voice so infused with concern that it tightens the muscles in your stomach. Again, hit replay.
"Por Una Mujer" is Torres' musical ode to the powerful women who shaped his life – and all of our lives – especially his strong-willed mother. Originally recorded in 2009 by Latin Grammy-winning Puerto Rican singer/actor Luis Fonzi with an all-girl band as a pop-rock dance tune, Torres gives it a happy lilt. It feels like a memory of skipping on the beach with your partner, singing her praises as the joy of the relationship starts a day of sunshine and love. He sings in Spanish, You transform life…and breathe, breathe…the new perfume every day/everything is gone, everything is forgotten, old wounds by a woman, and we all smile and agree… and wish we were there.
"Si Aun Te Quieres Quedar", released by the Latin Grammy-winning Spaniard David Bisbal as a gentle- to-soaring rock/ballad sung with Cuca Roseta, "If You Want To Stay" in Torres' deft hands gives it a comfortable feel, almost resigned to whatever the answer is, but with an aching need burning in the lines, just hold me please/do not leave me with the pain.
"Todo el Año", fifth song on the album, written for Obie Bermudez in 2004, is the essence of Latin heartbreak and Torres' stripped down version lets you feel not only the sadness of this song, but the sadness that lurks in the heart of every Latin man as he contemplates a year without love. Of all the songs on the album, "Todo el Año" gives Gringos like me the best look into the fire and embers of the Latin heart.
"Celos", written in 2003 and a finalist at the Benidorm International Song Festival, sounds almost Mexican with an accordion, jazz brush drum and melodic progression. Like other songs in the album, although the subject is dark – jealousy, the delivery is comfortable and feels like an old friend. Or maybe that is just what jealousy is...
The final three songs are the album's highlight. "La Vida Cambia – "Life Changes" is a new original song by Torres, presented in Spanish and Portuguese. Torres uses a bossa nova-like sound for the first two versions, then ends the album with a rendition in a rock solid Cuban conga beat. Regardless of the language or the beat, the message is the same – one that pervades all of Torres' songs, even the heartbreakers: You have to enjoy, you have to laugh/You have to, You have to cry…Live the present and forget what was.
Good advice for anyone caught in our swiftly changing lives. The best antidote to the vagaries of modern existence may just be putting Éxitos Acústicos at the top of your playlist, set it for "replay" and absorb the philosophy of Elsten Torres. I guarantee you will feel better.

Every year, over a 100 million people around the world tune in to watch the Tournament of Roses Parade, while about 1 million are fortunate enough to witness the parade personally in Pasadena, California. This year, I was able to take a peek behind the scenes as a volunteer for both the Girl Scouts of San Gorgonio Council and the City of Riverside.
Do you know why we have a parade filled with roses and other wonderful flowers and plants? In 1890, The Valley Hunt Club was eager to show off the wonderful Pasadena weather to their east coast counterparts. They did this with a parade, showing off the blooming flowers on motorized floats, marching bands, and equestrian units. As the parade grew in size, the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association was formed and a new tradition was added, the Rose Bowl, which is a college football game. For the last 35 years, there has been Girl Scout Gold Award recipient selected from the Greater Los Angeles Council to carry the parade banner alongside an Eagle Scout.
This year, on January 1, 2018, at 8 am there was 20 equestrian units, 20 top marching bands from around the world and 39 magnificent floats decorated with thousands of flowers. The theme was "Making a Difference" and the grand marshal was Academy Awards nominee and distinguished humanitarian Gary Sinise.
Do you know who attaches the flowers to the floats? Volunteers, thousands of them! I encourage you all to volunteer and participate and you just have to be 12 years or older to help. It's so cool to witness people of all ages help each other make amazing floats. Each of the floats is decorated with natural materials, such as flowers, seeds, and bark. In addition to the many hours to help build the floats, it takes over 80,000 hours and 955 members of Tournament of Roses Association to run the even. It truly takes a team!
The first day I volunteered was on December 2, 2017, along with fellow Girl Scouts of San Gorgonio sisters, along with at least 50 other volunteers from around Southern California. From 8 am to 4 pm, our main tasks were to clean and fill tiny vials with water and place them in foam containers and sort various sized caps to cover the vials based on the width of the flower stem. These little transparent green vials would later hold the flowers to be used on the parade floats.
On the second day I volunteered, on December 30, 2017, with proud Riverside City supporters, the float was just about ready for show time to celebrate the Mission Inn and the Festival of Lights. It was a wonderful experience to see all of the floats almost completed and see the fruits of our labor from the previous volunteer day. That day, I saw seven different floats, ranging from cities such as Carson and Torrance to businesses like Kaiser Permanente. All of the volunteers were providing the final touches, like a couple I met who had been helping for over 30 years. They were spending the last day gluing peas to a frog that would be attached to the float.
To attend the Rose Parade, you can view from along the parade route on a first come, first serve basis, with seating open a day before. Time to put your camping gear to use! You can also buy tickets to seat in the grandstands for the 2019 parade starting February 2018 at http://www.sharpseating.com. If you are interested in being part of the event as a volunteer, please visit http://www.gsfloatdecorators.com. I hope to see you next year!


Susan Rotolo is a book artist who was Bob Dylan's girlfriend in the early 60s when she was know as Suze Rotolo. She has written a warm and generous memoir about those days called A Freewheelin' Time: A Memoir of Greenwich Village in the Sixties . While it is very much about a time and place and a certain group of people, there is much that speaks to the journey of growing up and understanding one's place in the world as a woman, an artist, and a human being. She concludes the book by saying "The creative spirit finds a way."

Natsume's no ordinary boy. Like his grandmother Reiko he has the ability to see youkai... who flock to him and demand to have their names that Reiko stored in the Book of Friends returned. At Colors, Natsume is visited by some of our past deck releases who would like to have their cards returned!
Every week, one of the releases is picked at random. You can exchange up to five cards from that release for choice cards from that release. You will lose the cards you turn in.
For example, if the chosen release is Release 001, you can turn in an Asobot card and get a choice Logic, Dragon or Optimist card in exchange. Specials can only be gained by turning in other specials!
To get multiple cards from one deck, you need to turn in multiples from another deck as well. You can't get two Logic cards but turning in an Asobot card and a Smile card, but two Asobot cards would work.
This round closes on Thursday, June 14th!
This round closes on Thursday, June 14th! CLOSED NOW!

Moxie Knox's 'Love Me Right' Video Showcases The Power Of Collaboration
by: UPROXX MusicTwitter
In a world where an artist can potentially create music alone on their laptop computer, shoot a video themselves on their phone, and upload it all to the internet without even seeking out at another person's opinion, the collaborative process can sometimes fall by the wayside. But let's face it, the best things are often born from wildly collaborative environments, bringing in differing opinions, voices, and skillsets to tell a story that goes above and beyond a single person's narrative. That kind of synergy was the impetus behind the Sprite® Way series, a project that brought in artists of all kinds to execute the kind of music video that could set the tone for an artist's whole career.
After an extensive, crowd-sourced search for the right people for the shoot, a team of artists were all chosen to bring their unique talents together to produce and shoot the video for Moxie Knox's "Love Me Right" video in collaboration with Sprite® and UPROXX. The result? An impactful and sexy visual that helps tell Knox's own story while offering the entire crew the chance to own a piece of the final video.
As you'll see in the video above, the Bronx-raised Knox undergoes a transformation, going from a subdued pixie cut and a number of other fierce looks that, while stunning, culminate in her decision to love herself instead of staying in a toxic relationship. The final payoff sees her literally finding the highest version of herself after making the decision through choreography, late-night cruising, and fights in the bedroom to let this relationship fall all the way apart, and step into self-love instead. Check out the fruits of Knox and her team's efforts above, and let the exponential power of working with a whole team of collaborators sink in.

Q: Whats the best way to persiste the contents of a jQuery sortable list? I have a simple page with two lists. Using jQuery I have set the two lists as sortable and connected them together so I can add and remove from the list. This all works well.
I have come to the part of the feature where I need to save the results into the data store. When the user clicks on a submit button, there is an asynchronous request to an MVC controller that accepts a collection of strings.
I have two ideas on how to handle this scenario.
Idea one, remove all existing elements and re-create based on what is in the collection.
Idea two, loop through the list and add or update the sort order based on if a record already exists.
What this best way to do this and it there an option I have missed?
I'm using asp.net MVC with jQuery but this shouldn't matter.

A: Either method should work for your request.  The dumping and recreating "should" be less resource intensive than the insert and update method in idea two.

A: Depends a little on the architecture of the table in the database. Would lots of deletions and inserts fragment the table indexes?
If the table indexes aren't a concern then a delete and recreate is likely to be both easier to develop and to perform better.
The other thing to give some consideration to in this scenario is how you pass the lists to sql.

NBA Playoffs 2015: Cavs VS Bulls
Photo Source: Al Bello/Getty Images
After successfully defeating Boston and Milwaukee, the old rivals will once again meet each other in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Their rivalry lasts from the 1980s and days of Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Brad Daugherty, Mark Price and Craig Ehlo. It culminated in 1992 when the Bulls defeated the Cavs in the Conference Finals in six games.
The Cavaliers swept the Celtics but paid the huge price down the road: Kevin Love is done for the season after a gruesome duel with Kelly Olynyk and will need shoulder surgery. How will they replace and compensate the loss of their best interior player and an elite stretch power forward remains to be seen? The other problem is the two-game suspension for starting shooting guard J.R. Smith after few cheap plays and fouls in Game 4 versus Boston. Now it's up to James and Irving. There is no Big 3.
This is one of the biggest challenges in LeBron's professional career. The Bulls had some troubles with the Bucks, losing two straight games after going up 3-0, ultimately winning Game 6 by a record-setting 54-point margin on the road. Pau Gasol and Joakim Noah had some poor performances and didn't dominate as it was expected. Derrick Rose showed some great sequences but also had some bad games. Inconsistency is the central issue of the Bulls. Now let's break down the key matchups in this series.
Kyrie Irving VS Derrick Rose
At this moment, Kyrie is a bigger threat, but healthy Rose can cause the damage on any opponent. Irving is possibly the best ball-handler in NBA and drastically improved his shooting touch this year (46,8% from the field and 41,5% from downtown). He is dominant scorer and slasher, capable of dropping 40 points on anybody. Kyrie scored 57 on the Spurs and 55 on the Blazers during the season. For a point guard, he averages low number of assists, and his defense is still a liability. Just like Rose will have serious problems defending him, Kyrie will be tested and challenged while guarding former MVP.
The Bulls will certainly exploit the opportunity to attack Irving and force him to work on both sides. Rose is a better passer than Irving, and that is an advantage for Chicago. With all this being said, the Cavs have the edge at this spot, but it's a small margin.
Iman Shumpert VS Jimmy Butler
Iman arrived in Cleveland after the trade and provided valuable efforts. He is a good defender and a solid rebounder, bringing energy and intensity on the court. Without Smith, he will start and must play big in this series because the Cavaliers need it. Smith rejuvenated his career after the ugly start of the season with the Knicks and found his shooting touch in Ohio, giving coach Blatt another dimension on the offense. He is the valuable piece, but there is always the question will he let down his team like he did in the previous years. On the other side, there is Jimmy Butler, probably new 'Most Improved Player' award winner. He emerged as an All-Star and 20 ppg scorer, taking the big burden on his shoulders and helping Rose run the offense. Butler is a terrific defender, one of the best in the league, and his assignment would be LeBron James. Jimmy has the strength and agility to slow him down and possesses devotion and knowledge to make LeBron work hard for every point. On the SG spot, the Bulls are in advantage, despite the upcoming difficulties for Butler.
LeBron James VS Mike Dunleavy
This is a no-brainer for the Cavs, but like I said, James will have to battle young Butler, not Dunleavy. He is a difference-maker, but without Love and Smith in first two games he must bring forward more responsibilities. Not only he must face Butler, but he will also get some minutes on Gasol, Gibson and even Rose if he gets hot. Along with Mozgov and Shumpert, James is the only plus defender on the Cavs roster. Expect tremendous performances from the 4-time MVP. Mike Dunleavy is here to space the floor and as the Bulls zone buster.
He made 17 out of 31 attempts from behind the line against the Bucks and shot 40,7% from downtown this season. He will make the Cavaliers nervous. Advantages: Do I need to write?
Tristan Thompson VS Pau Gasol
Pau was an All-Star this season, and he is a walking mismatch against almost every opponent. He can score, rebound, pass and create on the post. He is a good fit for pick-n-roll, pick-n-pop, and 1-on-1 sets. Thompson will try to contain Gasol, but he can't achieve complete success while doing so. Gasol is a weak spot in the defense, but Thompson isn't exactly Dirk Nowitzki on that side. This is probably the biggest advantage for Chicago Bulls in this series.
Timofey Mozgov VS Joakim Noah
The Russian Tower versus Jo. Mozgov's brute strength and size versus Noah's versatility and finesse. The Frenchman had a poor season, mainly because of previous injuries, but he is still an all-around center that can post triple-double. He declined to the offensive end, but he is the anchor of the Bulls' defense. Mozgov improved Cleveland's defense, and he is a decent rim protector. Timofey will have his hands full of the job while guarding Gasol, Noah, Gibson and Mirotić. This one Chicago owns.
Bench units: Brooks, Mirotić, Gibson, Snell and Hinrich against Marion, Jones, Dellavedova, Miller and Smith or Shumpert after Game 2. Cleveland's depth is like the Clippers tradition – not existing, and it is a real issue. They have no reliable scorer on the bench so Irving and James will load substantial minutes and must play at the upper limits for Cavaliers to win. James, the game's best player, must prove himself once again. Chicago's problems include health issues, Noah's decline and Thibodeau's stubbornness and hesitation to rest his key players even when the result is decided. At least the Bulls have some firepower off the bench and couple of guys that can help.

Top 10 American Universities for Finance-Related Careers
University of Pennsylvania has topped the list of colleges suitable for a career in finance.
UPenn made it to the top of the list as most of the school's undergraduate alumni are working in finance and investment banking. The ranking success can be attributed to the Wharton Business School. Established in 1881, Wharton was the world's first college program dedicated to the study of business. Nearly half of the 5,000 students are enrolled in the business undergraduate program.
The list by LinkedIn is based on career outcomes. The methodology used is quite different from other strategies normally used to come up with the rankings. The professional social network identified LinkedIn users working in finance sectors, then found the university he or she attended and calculated the percentage of alumni working in top companies to compile its rankings.
"We start with identifying desirable companies for each profession. We let the career choices of our members tell us how desirable it is to work at a company... Since not every graduate is interested in the same profession, it is only fair to define the relevant graduates as those who end up working in that career. For example, while ranking a school for the category 'INVESTMENT Bankers', we only consider graduates from that school who work as investment bankers," LinkedIn said in a statement.
Experts said that universities use their alumni networks to help new graduates land jobs and internships. Alumni often return to their alma mater for recruitments or give insider tips on the hiring process, CNN reports.
Yale University follows UPenn in the second position. For the class of 2013, median base salary upon graduation was $110,000 and the mean signing bonus was $26,281. Notable alumni include Donald Donald Gips - United States Ambassador to South Africa, Indra Nooyi - CEO, PepsiCo, Inc. and Daniel Weiss - President, Lafayette College.

ARSENAL have made a third bid for Monaco star Thomas Lemar, according to French newspaper L'Equipe.
L'Equipe say a £44.7m offer has been made by the Gunners as they try to lure him to the Emirates.
Monaco vice-president Vadim Vasilyev said earlier this week that Arsene Wenger is wasting his time pursuing the 21-year-old winger.
Lemar bagged 14 goals and provided 17 assists across all competitions last season.
He also helped Monaco reach the Champions League semi-finals.
The French giants are adamant the carve up of their talented team is over after being raided by the Premier League giants this summer.
Bernardo Silva and Benjamin Mendy joined Manchester City, while midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko went to Chelsea.
Fabinho has been tipped to continue the exodus with Manchester United keen but Vasukyev said: "Fabinho stays. He is an essential player in the midfield."
Their hardline stance could be bad news for Real Madrid, who were confident of landing Kylian Mbappe in a world record £161m deal.
Monaco plan on offering the 18-year-old striker a new deal.
Vasukyev added: "We're discussing a contract renewal with him. I hope we'll get there."

British trader pleads guilty to wire fraud after US extradition
Navinder Sarao appears in court in Chicago after losing legal challenge and agrees to pay US government $12.8m

The British financial trader dubbed the Hound of Hounslow has admitted helping trigger a multi-billion-dollar Wall Street crash from a suburban UK home.
Navinder Singh Sarao pleaded guilty on Wednesday to wire fraud and spoofing after being extradited to the United States to face federal charges related to his role in the 2010 Wall Street flash crash.
Sarao, 37, who traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) from his parents' home near London's Heathrow Airport, appeared in leg shackles in a Chicago court room on Wednesday. The case judge told him he faces up to 30 years in prison after the charges under a plea bargain.
Sarao was sent to the US in October after losing a High Court challenge against a decision to extradite him over the "flash crash", which saw the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunge 600 points in five minutes, wiping tens of billions of pounds off the value of US shares.
Wall Street 'flash crash' accused Navinder Sarao extradited to US
Sarao agreed to pay the US government $12.8m (£10.3m), the amount prosecutors said he earned from illegal trading. He will be released on a $750,000 bond and will be allowed to return to the UK pending sentencing in the United States, US judge Virginia Kendall said.
Sarao used an automated trading program to spoof markets by generating large sell orders that pushed down prices, and then cancelled the trades and bought contracts at lower prices.
The case centres on his alleged contribution to the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunging 600 points in five minutes on 6 May 2010, wiping almost $1tn off the value of US shares. US authorities claim he made $875,000 on the day. The 36-minute-long crash saw the Dow Jones industrial average plummet 998.5 points – its biggest ever slump during a single trading session.
The US Department of Justice alleges that Sarao earned $40m (£26m) by using software to place fake trades to move prices up or down. He faced 22 charges, which carry sentences totalling a maximum of 380 years.
At an extradition hearing at Westminster Magistrates' Court in March, District Judge Quentin Purdy ruled that Sarao could be sent to stand trial in the US.
However lawyers for the former bank worker and Brunel University student argued that his actions did not constitute a crime in the UK, where he should be tried because he is a British citizen.
Two judges at the High Court in London in October refused to give him permission to challenge the extradition order and he was later sent across the Atlantic.
Sarao has been called the Hound of Hounslow, in reference to the film Wolf of Wall Street about powerful and unscrupulous traders.
US prosecutors in Chicago have stepped up their investigations into spoofing in recent years. In July, Michael Coscia became the first person to be convicted of spoofing after it was made a crime under the Dodd-Frank Act. He was sentenced to three years in prison.
