The Dos and Don'ts of 2000s Rap Nostalgia
From remakes of Dipset classics to Ne-Yo samples to Travis Barker rock remixes, callbacks to the aughts are everywhere right now.
By Alphonse Pierre

Pitchfork writer Alphonse Pierre's rap column covers songs, mixtapes, albums, Instagram freestyles, memes, weird tweets, fashion trends—and anything else that catches his attention.
Six dos and don'ts of 2000s rap nostalgia
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are sucking face in the tabloids again. MTV Cribs, Gossip Girl, and iCarly reboots are either here or on the way. Von Dutch trucker caps are popping up like cicadas in the summer. A whitewashed remembrance of the 2000s is in full swing, whether we like it or not. And like all nostalgia, certain things are propped up and much is glossed over. The rap world is looking back as well, which is why I've come up with a quick list of dos and don'ts to guide us through this unrelenting wave of longing for the 2000s.
Do: Low budget rapper-led record label movies
Earlier this year, Griselda Records put out Conflicted, a crime movie featuring Benny the Butcher and Westside Gunn about a Buffalo gangster trying to get his life back on track after being released from jail. It's pretty bad, and also, for some reason, over two hours.
But the initial idea was good! It was conceived as an attempt to recapture the charm of passed-around DVD classics like Roc-A-Fella's State Property and Dipset's Killa Season. The issue with the movie itself is that the rappers aren't prominent enough. Like c'mon, we all know the 2002 Dame Dash-directed rap comedy Paper Soldiers is not amazing but at least we get to watch Memphis Bleek wild the hell out. Who wouldn't want to see a 4PF Pictures presentation starring Lil Baby caught up in a neighborhood crime conspiracy, or if Slime Language 2 came packaged with a buddy comedy where Nav and Gunna are desperately trying to make it to the hookah bar like Harold and Kumar's trip to White Castle?!
Don't: Remixes of iconic 2000s rap singles
Icewear Vezzo is one of my favorite rappers in Detroit, but this year he put out two singles with IUR Jetto that each sample definitive Diplomats songs: "New Day," a remix of "I Really Mean It," and "Oh Boy," which reimagines the track of the same name. The rapping is fine, I guess, but rap songs with that much impact are better off left alone. Nothing good comes from it except a realization that you would rather be listening to the original.
Do: Mixtapes hosted by DJs
The trend of DJs hosting mixtapes never went extinct, but its popularity peaked during the 2000s mixtape boom. Tyler, the Creator pays homage to that era on his new album Call Me If You Get Lost, which features DJ Drama screaming all over it, just like he did on classic tapes like Lil Wayne's Dedication 2 and Jeezy's Trap or Die. Though on Tyler's project it was slightly corny, just because it felt like a cheap thrill, and like most forms of nostalgia it glossed over a lot of context. A lot of the 2000s' best DJs were just as much about their curation as their personalities: The way they were able to cobble together surprising collaborations or highlight the hottest rappers of a given scene. DJ Phat is currently doing just that out in New Jersey with his Block Is Hot series, and there's room to build on that aspect of mixtape culture.
Don't: Ne-Yo
One of the first albums I ever bought was Ne-Yo's In my Own Words while I was in elementary school, so do not take this as disrespect to that man's debut run. But let's tread carefully. In the past couple of weeks I've come across too many rap songs that sample old Ne-Yo singles, most notably Lil Yachty's "Ne-Yo Flow" and Pop Smoke's "Woo Baby." Before we know it, the almighty (and very reactionary) record labels will have your favorite rapper cooking up in the lab with the world's premier fedora enthusiast. You just know Ne-Yo is somewhere rubbing his hands together like a Batman villain preparing to strike. Look at the excitement in this Instagram caption!
Do: Localized nostalgia
I understand that usually the things most of us are nostalgic for were probably extremely popular at some point, but there should also be nostalgia for more niche aspects of culture. Not everyone has to get or feel it! So if you're from the Bay Area, go ahead and remix that the Jacka song. Or if you come from Detroit, repurpose that Blade Icewood bar. This already happens, but go crazy with it.
Don't: Travis Barker style rap-rock
If you don't remember the time when Travis Barker terrorized the rap world with his rock remixes of "Forever," "Crank That," "Throw Some D's" and many many more, consider yourself blessed. And I know that he's only included on one track from Lil Wayne's Rebirth, but I fully believe that his influence is to blame for that entire abomination! This week, a Young Thug NPR Tiny Desk set hit the internet, and during a rendition of his Slime Language 2 hit "Ski," my worst fears came to fruition: Barker showed up out of nowhere and made one of Thug's best songs in recent memory sound like it belongs in a middle school dance in 2006. On the bright side, the songs Thug performed without Barker, which are due to land on his upcoming album PUNK, were actually quite nice. This voyage into the rock world may work out for Thug because he's Thug. But nobody else should do this.
Four beats that have inspired New Jersey producer Subjxct 5
Subjxct 5 is as influenced by the type of hard-hitting East Coast classics that would pop up on a DJ Clue tape as he is the hard rock music that would backdrop late-'90s episodes of WWF Raw. "If I'm not making beats I'm probably inside watching a Bret Hart match," he says over the phone. This wide array of inspiration gives his instrumentals a distinct feel. "John Cena," a beat for his fellow members of the Jersey-based 2oo4 collective, includes a glitzy melody reminiscent of vintage Swizz Beatz, while his mixtape of Lil Wayne remixes incorporates tons of trance and dance elements.
This year, his production on 2oo4 crew member Papo's mixtapes Winnertime and M.E.T.S. have this breezy yet brooding feel, like something Prodigy or Stack Bundles would have rapped over. Given that his work pulls from so many different places, I asked Subjxct 5 to list four beats that have helped to nurture his sound. "This is just a tip of the iceberg," he says excitedly. "If you would have asked me for 10, I might have had to start picking Limp Bizkit songs."
JAY-Z: "Jigga My Nigga" (Prod. Swizz Beatz) [1999]
Subjxct 5: When a lot of people bring up JAY-Z they understandably talk about his most lyrical songs, but the Jay I grew up with was the flashy and jumpy one. When I listen to this Swizz beat I feel like I need to be in a Benz. Swizz always had these drum patterns that made motherfuckers get jiggy.
SpaceGhostPurrp: "Like a Strippah" (Prod. SpaceGhostPurrp) [2011]
I'm not gonna hold you bro, I was really tight when A$AP and Raider Klan started beefing back in the day. Listen, the three groups that really made me want to start making beats were Odd Future, A$AP, and Raider Klan. But with SGP and Raider Klan it was about the whole package, from the low sound quality of the song, to how he always incorporated elements of classic West Coast G-funk and down South shit like Three 6 Mafia and Tommy Wright into his sound. You could credit Raider Klan with a lot of motherfuckers getting into that shit.
Domo Genesis: "Gamebreaker" (Prod. The Alchemist) [2012]
The resurgence Alchemist had around this time was dominant. He was putting out work with Bronson, Prodigy, Roc Marciano, Curren$y, and Domo, and bringing something different out of each rapper. It's partially what made me what to start producing, especially No Idols—it's one of my favorite mixtapes, the whole thing is insane.
Chief Keef: "Everyday" (Prod. Young Chop) [2012]
I've probably run back "Everyday" at least 500 times. When I first heard Keef I was like, "Who the fuck are these niggas making these beats?!" As far as trap music goes, during this time Brick Squad was falling off a bit and GBE really picked up where they left off and ran with it. The sound was heavy my nigga, full of club bangers. This Chop beat was the first time I heard trancey arpeggios in a trap beat. Usually the older ones would have these orchestral elements, but this one was like stepping into a new world.
Yung Kayo: "Contour"
On Yung Kayo's "Contour," almost all the elements that made up the last half decade of popular Atlanta rap are rolled into one package. His nearly breathless triplet flow might bring to mind early Migos and their affiliates like Rich the Kid and Skippa Da Flippa, while the beat—a warped carousel ride backdrop that could soundtrack a Jordan Peele horror movie—would have made sense on Whole Lotta Red. His vocals land somewhere between the soulful croons of Rich Homie Quan and the eccentric yelps of his YSL boss Young Thug. Listening to the song is just as fun as recreating the Leonardo DiCaprio meme and pointing out all of the influences.
B Lovee: "IYKYK"
After UK drill drum kits were run into the ground, drill producers in New York searched for a new wrinkle to fold into the sound. They eventually turned to the city's timeless tradition of sampling, adding a nice twist to the subgenre's production. Lately it has gotten a bit out of hand, with Shawny Binladen and the YTB crew flooding the five boroughs with flips of Barbra Streisand and Eugene Wilde, but good examples of this sample-based trend still seep through the cracks. On "IYKYK," Bronx producer ChrisSaves places clean, rattling drums on top of the hypnotic melody of Wayne Wonder's "No Letting Go," resulting in the rare drill beat that sounds kind of sweet. Bronx rapper B Lovee raps like he's trying to contain rage that could rush to the surface at any second, yet the sample adds a lightness that his music never had before. It's an effective clash.
Why is everyone always so mad at Coi Leray?
The internet continues to dogpile on breakout melodic rapper Coi Leray as if she broke into everyone's homes, kicked their dog, and ate food out of their fridge. Last week it was her verse in a XXL Freshman cypher and this week it was out-of-context clips of the crowd seemingly not reacting to her Rolling Loud performance. I don't get it, but also, I do. Women in rap have always had to do way more to get any respect. Yes, her raps lean on #vibes more than anything else, but let's face it, there are plenty of dudes who do the same thing without any pushback whatsoever.
Tisakorean: "Old School Cash"
Known for his chaotically choppy flow and tracks that have reignited Texas dance rap, Tisakorean is also an impressive producer in his own right. He self-produces almost all of his own music, and his style consists of laying pounding drums over hypnotic melodies in a way that will bring you back to the days of Souljaboytellem.com. On "Old School Cash," the Houston triple threat brushes up on his sampling, blending together two Earth, Wind and Fire flips and topping the mix off with blaring 808s. It's simple yet mesmerizing.

Q: Simple computational misunderstanding in Ljung-Box test The Ljung-Box test statistic $Q$ is defined as
$$
Q := n(n+2) \sum_{j=1}^{\ell} \frac{\hat{r}_{j}^2}{n-j},
$$
where $\ell$ is the number of lags and
$$
\hat{r}_{j} := \frac{1}{\left\|a \right\|_{2}^2} \sum_{i=j}^{n-1} a_{i}a_{i-j}
$$
(This is equation (1.1) of Ljung and Box's "On a Measure of Lack of Fit of Time Series Models"; it's available for free if you search through scholar.google.com, but I can't link to it because the url has a bizarre unique token!)
Ok, let's take $a = (1,2)$ and $\ell =1$. Then $\hat{r}_1 = 2/5$, $\hat{r}_1^2 = 4/25$, and so $Q = 32/25$. Trivial, correct? But I do this calculation in R:
> x <- c(1,2)
> b = Box.test(x, lag=1, "Ljung", fitdf=0)
> b$statistic
2

So R says my super basic calculation is wrong! Does R use a modified definition of the Ljung-Box statistic, or have I made a trivial mistake?
Note: Mathematica agrees with R:
data = {1,2};
H = AutocorrelationTest[data, 1, "HypothesisTestData"];
H["TestStatistic", "LjungBox"]
2

A: Your computation for the autocorrelation coefficient does not demean the data:
x <- c(1,2)
b = Box.test(x, lag=1, "Ljung", fitdf=0)
b$statistic

# your \hat{r}_1, without demeaning
x[1]*x[2]/sum(x^2)

# R's \hat{r}_1
r1 <- acf(x, plot=F)$acf[2]
# i.e., an estimate of the first autocovariance divided by an estimate of the variance (with divisions by n that cancel out):
xbar <- mean(x) # 1.5
(x[1]-xbar)*(x[2]-xbar)/((x[1]-xbar)^2+(x[2]-xbar)^2)

n <- length(x)
(Q <- n*(n+2)*r1^2) # agrees with Box.text

See, e.g., here for further discussion of how R computes the acf.

That's one those tidbits they never go into in Dungeons and Dragons, and yet makes perfect sense when you think about it. The cabin folds up upon itself. If you're inside, you better hope you're good at yoga (and that you've stretched beforehand) because things are about to get tight and cramped.


On this date in history…in 1818 Congress decided on flag – 20 stars and 13 red and white stripes. Who designed our flag? Francis Hopkinson – who was also a signer of the Declaration of Independence.

Singer-Songwriter Foushee Says Black Women Leaning Into Punk Is a Long time Coming: "The Girls Are Angry"
After racking up Grammy nominations for her work on Steve Lacy's "Bad Habit" and releasing her bold new EP softCORE, Foushee is ready for her grand introduction.
By Precious Fondren

Singer-songwriter Foushee can summarize her career over the last couple of years with one word: "chaotic." The musician, who was born and raised in New Jersey as Britanny Fousheé, went from being relatively unknown to releasing two projects, touring with James Blake and Steve Lacy, collaborating on tracks with most of the relevant "Lil rappers— Yachty, Uzi, and Wayne—and wrapped 2022 with a a handful of Grammy nominations for her contributions to Lacy's Billboard-topping hit "Bad Habit."
Fousheé's haunting vocals blew up on TikTok back in 2020 after the rapper Sleepy Hallow sampled them for his single, "Deep End Freestyle." Initially, no one knew who had contributed the vocals until Foushee revealed herself in a TikTok of her own. She then went on to release her own version of the song, which by September 2022 had amassed more than 234 million streams on Spotify. She signed with RCA, and released her debut project, Time Machine, last June.
Since popping on people's radar, Foushee has widely been regarded as an up and coming hip-hop and R&B artist, but her latest project softCORE is anything but. Incorporating elements of metal, rock, and noise pop, softCORE is a rage album that zips back and forth between heavy punk influence to folkier sounds. At times Foushee can be screaming, rapping, or singing with the most heavenly vocals. Below, she talks to GQ about the concept behind the album, introducing her new sound on tour, and her Grammy nominations.
If you had to write an artist statement like they do for art exhibitions, what would yours say about softCORE?
A rebellious stance against men, gender norms, and a well-needed release for me.
This album sounds very different from your first. When you were in the process of creating and writing, when did you know that you were going to go the route that you did musically?
I would say after [the song] "i'm fine." Before that, I was creating [tracks] that felt very similar to each other. I was mostly accessing a very vulnerable soft side of me. And one day on the first tour with James Blake during our Philly stop, I linked with [producer] Bnyx. I'm not sure where the idea came from. I just felt the need for something different. And I told him I wanted to make a song that was folk and metal. And he really just jumped on the opportunity and made a version of what "i'm fine" became. It just felt really good, the contrast and the meeting of worlds that I never really heard in one place. I fell in love with how it felt. I wanted to be louder, more present and make noise and make music that I felt wasn't out there and say things that I haven't expressed before. The project kind of goes back and forth between the varying textures in "i'm fine." Both soft and grungy, but mostly grungy.
I can hear that a little bit, especially with a song like "Stupid Bitch," where it's very tough at the beginning. Then halfway through it becomes soft. You've mentioned that this album is a twist on gender norms. Can you explain what that means?
I mean a part of the inspiration for the topics of the songs was me being angry. And when I analyzed it, I was angry at a lot of men in my life, whether it be in relationships or in the industry. I would even say at times to combat it I took on the role and became the person that I was mad at. In certain lines I talked about having groupies. I'm just kind of pushing the boundaries on what was expected of women in the industry. I don't think it's applauded when we make very crazy or angry music, so I wanted to try my hand at it and express how I feel. But also it's really how I felt, because I don't feel that way anymore. It's more freeing for me now.
What song do you think that you're the most vulnerable on? Was there one that was tough to share on the album?
"i'm fine," because it was the first time I released something like that. I think every time I release a song I'm a little nervous. I don't think I overshare, so I haven't released anything I would be embarrassed about. Maybe "Let You Back In" because after everything I said I'm resolving it. Everything is forgiven. But I wouldn't say that that's embarrassing because I think forgiveness was a good thing.
You've got some really fascinating visuals for a few of the songs. I really love how your skin seems like clay in the "supernova" video. Do you have a creative director or team? And if so, how do you all map out how you present yourself?
It's really just me mood-boarding. I'm a very visual person. So I really look forward to being a part of the visual process and kind of jumping around with the people that I work with. With the "supernova" video, I'm not sure what the technology is called, but it's something that he created that I thought was really different but simple. The colors really stood out to me. For me, it was very simple and straightforward, and beautiful. But I think it scared a lot of people.
There's one particular scene where you open your mouth and then something comes out. I have definitely never seen visuals like that before. It stands out.
That was hair coming out, but it's funny you say that. That was the director's idea. I just thought it would add depth to it. But when you look up "hair coming out of your mouth" and the symbolism, it relates to shedding the old you. It did seem like [I was doing] that with this project, so it was fitting.
It feels like Black women in the music industry are having this moment where they're adopting a little bit of the pop-rock sound. SZA played with the sound on her new album, and Willow Smith is out here collaborating with Travis Barker. What do you make of all the girls getting a little bit angry?
I know we've had to hold those feelings in for so long. And it's not like we're pivoting to rock. If you go back in time it's something that was ours and was taken. I don't think it's new. I think those feelings are there and at times it's gotten pushed down. I don't see it as just pop-rock. For my project, I wanted to make it a little more grunge-y than that. I had inspiration from post-punk and metal and I wanted to go even harder with that texture. I almost feel like when it's pop rock, it's kind of more palatable, more watered down, and I didn't want to do that. The girls are angry, and we don't want to sugarcoat it anymore. It feels more comfortable to express ourselves that way.
Is this a sound that you want to continue with for your next project?
I wanted to encapsulate it with this project and move on. I feel like I got everything off my chest. For the album, I've always wanted it to be a little more central of all my [different] sounds. Looking back on Time Machine, I would consider that an EP. And I'll consider the album to be that but more elevated and with more growth in every way. I want to bring more instruments and more detail. I'm really looking forward to figuring out what that's going to sound like now that I was able to wander off.
How has it been introducing yourself to audiences on the Steve Lacy tour?
The experience in person has been like the same way people are experiencing listening to the project. A lot of people don't expect it. They expect something different from me. I realize people don't know me because it is his tour and this is the introduction to me. But it's been a learning experience for me and a very exciting one. It's not everyone's cup of tea, but I try to make it their cup of tea by the end of my set. People have to live in that world where I'm fully committing to this rockstar character. I'm still a sensitive person so sometimes the reactions are easier to handle than others, but I'm getting a lot better. My skin's getting tougher.
You're Grammy nominated and you're on tour now. After this tour, what do you envision the next year looking like for you?
I'm gonna go straight into the album. I'm feeling really inspired right now. I feel like I've had a lot of time on this tour to daydream and explore different cities. This is the most I've ever traveled. I'm just seeing the growth in myself and my writing. I've learned all these new things musically. I think Steve has taught me a lot about how to be in this industry. I'm inspired by just being in the process of making his album and seeing how he works. I'm ready to write from this new place.
You mentioned a little bit earlier how people didn't expect this sound because they didn't really know a lot about you. What do you feel is important for people to know about you at this point in your career?
I'd be happy if people don't know anything about me and they just know my music. I like being mysterious.

Take A Look At Dhoni Best Innings In IPL
Sports Matches
Mahendra Singh Dhoni, AKA Mahi is not just a name; it's an emotion. Indians have always been excited about the cricket matches throughout the year, and IPL is one of the most awaited ones. Cricket lovers have always praised the performance of MS Dhoni in IPL. He has played 190 plus matches in various IPL seasons and has aggregated over 4,000 runs. As we all know Dhoni IPL team is Chennai Super Kings and being its skipper, he has bagged the IPL trophy thrice thanks to his unprecedented performances. What's more, Dhoni is among the top 10 IPL run getter in its history.
In 2018, when Chennai Super Kings (CSK) returned, the world witnessed best performances of MS Dhoni in IPL that season. It's safe to say that he was their best batsman in that period.
Since we recall Dhoni best innings in IPL, we have some best deals for you here!
They say it takes a champion to take home victory. We have seen Dhoni with IPL trophy many times. Read on to relive best performances of MS Dhoni in and some unbelievable victories of the team.
1. RCB Vs. CSK 84* (48)
M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru | 21st April 2019
The clash between these two supergiant of the Indian Premier League is known to grab maximum eyeballs. This is one of the most talked-about matches of these teams. MS Dhoni played an epic inning against the Royal Challengers Bangalore in this match. RCB batted first and created a score of 161 runs. RCB's Dale Steyn sent Shane Watson and Suresh Raina back to the pavilion after the first over. It became difficult for Chennai batsman to surpass the 30-runs landmark while MS Dhoni was batting on 60. This is when the skipper exhibited his big-hitting talent as he smashed one four and three sixes off and recorded his highest T20 score that night and became the first Indian player to hit 200 sixes in IPL that night. However, CSK lost the match to RCB by the smallest of the margins.
2. MI Vs. CSK 51* (20)
M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru | 23 May 2012
It was an eliminator match. Mumbai Indians had a head start picking up two early wickets. While S Badrinath and Michael Hussey built the score of 94 runs together, Chennai still needed a push to turn it into a match-winning score. This is where Dhoni came into the picture. He smashed a 51 run from 20 balls, and then there was no turning back. MI failed to reach the goal, and CSK won the match.
3. KXIP Vs. RPS 64* (49)
Dr. Y.S.R. ACA VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam | 21st May 2016
Apart from Dhoni's remarkable performance, former teammates facing each other as captains made this match a memorable one. KXIP won the toss and chose to bat first. Rising Pune Supergiants (RPS) needed 23 runs in the last over. Dhoni wacked three sixes and one four, with the final one coming off the last ball. The result was that he bagged the title of man of the match and earned the victory for his team.
4. RR Vs. CSK 75* (46)
M. A. Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai | 31st March 2019
While revisiting Dhoni best innings in IPL, how can we forget this game-changing performance. Dhoni stitched a 61-run partnership with Raina and scored only 33 runs off his first 30 balls. After that, he scored 42 runs off his next 12 balls in a knock that consisted of 4 fours and many sixes. With Bravo's support (27 runs), CSK ended up making 175 runs, which resulted in CSK's thrilling victory by 8 runs. Dhoni wasn't at the peak as a batsman during that period, but he still played against all odds and secured a win for CSK almost single-handedly.
5. KXIP Vs. CSK 54* (29)
HPCA Cricket Stadium, Dharamsala |18th April 2010
It was marked as Dhoni best innings in IPL early phase, which led his team to victory for that season. Dhoni came on the field during 10th over, and there was a huge target of 100+ runs waiting to be achieved. He took the game to the last over in Dhoni-style. He smashed two sixes on Irfan Pathan's bowling to win the game and remained unbeaten on 54 runs from 29 balls.
MAHI – THE MEGA SIX-HITTER
MS Dhoni in IPL has struck the longest six of 111 meters. He has been renowned for his big-hitting abilities from the very beginning of his career. Even as captain – he has paved his legacy through his stunning performances that are, of course, studded with many sixes. Apart from his mesmerizing performance, there's a reason Dhoni's IPL knocks are fondly remembered – It's the rare emotion that he portrays post finishing the chase.

Are Roses Blooming in the Bakery? | Fine Desserts | Delicious Defined.
Miss NiNi is rarely in the throes of such bounteous beauty. But I was a few days ago!
Thousands of "mouthwatering" flowers of magnificent size, color, and grandeur graced the speaker's platform at the Cass County Master Gardeners' 20th Annual Spring Garden Seminar.
A bouquet of floral fragrance in the venue was comforting and certainly reflected the thought that Spring 2018 truly is peeking around the calendar's corner.
How perfectly divine that Miss NiNi was included in the day's program as an accompanying presenter to internationally renowned flower expert Mr. J Schwanke!
To harmonize with the flower theme, Dear Readers, I had created a uniquely flavored shortbread cookie recipe which invited a flower garden into my culinary world.
Did I use edible flower petals or buds? No, I did not.
I used food-grade rose water as part of the combination of flavors brought forth in the dainty cookie's taste sensation. It is sweet, fragrant, and perfect for sharing its essence in cookies, sugars, and glazes.
How is rose water produced, you might ask? It is scientifically created from the "elegant steam distillate of rose petals"—according to the label attached to the brown glass bottle that held the liquid.
As I flavored the cookie dough, my bakery accepted a lovely rose-garden aroma that gently encapsulated not only my sense of smell but also my sense of taste. My, oh my! One might have thought that Dearly Beloved had presented gorgeous perfumed roses to his bride!
"Easy Does It" was my theme song as I experimented with just the right amount to flavor the shortbread cookie dough. Definitely, "teeny" was preferred over "maxi" as I added drops of the aromatic essence to my creamed butter-sugar mixture. All in all, ¼ teaspoon of the added liquid pleased my palate perfectly.
However, Dear Readers, often times a baking flavor, extract, or even in this case, rose water, can be tempered by the baking process. And as palates are as varied as flowers in a garden, one might personally choose to add more rose water—perhaps another ¼ teaspoon—for a more pungent after-baking sensual experience.
This dainty fresh-for-Spring cookie has additional fruity ingredients of peach jam encased within its thumbprint indentation along with an orange oil glaze brushed artfully over the cookies' tops.
Does Miss NiNi's' think-outside-the-box little delicacy seem a bit farfetched for your baking creativity, Dear Readers?
Fear not! Even if your baking prowess does not take you to the land of this cookie's recipe, you still have an opportunity to taste the little treats! Orange Rosies are sold at Miss NiNi's Desserterie in West Des Moines/Waukee.
Dear Readers, there might not be thousands of roses fragrancing your kitchen environment. However, when baking with rose water, you can still pretend they are!
In large bowl of stand mixer beat butter for 10 seconds. Gradually add sugar and cream on medium speed for 2 minutes. Blend in rosewater. With mixer set on low speed, add flour a little at a time until combined.
Using medium size cookie scoop (about 1-1/2 inch diameter), drop cookie dough on to baking sheet. Make a small finger-size indentation into the top of cookie. Using a 1/8 teaspoon, fill each center with apricot preserves. Bake for 12-13 minutes.
Remove from oven. Allow to cool slightly.
Whisk together powdered sugar, butter, orange oil, and enough hot water to make a thin glaze. Lightly brush on tops of cookies. Allow to sit until glaze is firm. Store in metal cookie tin.
Would love the lovely scent of roses in mykitchen! Sounds like a beautiful addition to your cookie choices.


Officials are preparing for the impact of Friday's nor'easter in Boston and other parts of Massachusetts.
Boston officials are making preparations in anticipation of Friday's nor'easter that is expected to bring snow, rain, heavy winds, and coastal flooding to Massachusetts.
Governor Charlie Baker and other officials held a news conference Thursday where he announced that he signed an order to activate up to 200 members of the National Guard to work with state and local officials in the coming days.
Officials in Boston and across Massachusetts are preparing for a major storm.
"The coastal flooding warnings for this storm are forecast to be more severe than the storm that hit the Commonwealth on Jan. 4." Baker said. "The combination of storm surge and astronomically high tides means that a significant amount of that water will not recede between the high tide times of 11:30 am and pm on Friday."
The MBTA said they are planning significant impact to the Rockport/Newburyport and Haverhill commuter rail lines, as well as the Blue Line.
Due to the storm the MBTA anticipates interruptions to regular service and urges people to monitor www.mbta.com @mbta and @mbta_cr on Twitter, and MBTA alerts.
City officials said they will monitor the storm throughout its duration and are taking proactive steps to deal with flooding.
Boston Water and Sewer Commission is already cleaning out low-lying areas of debris that could clog catch basins and restrict underground water flow.
The New England Aquarium announced it will be closed Friday.
Governor Charlie Baker addressed concerns over coastal flooding and preparation ahead of the nor'easter exepcted to hit Massachusetts on Friday.
Authorities said Boston Police will also put barriers in places that are most affected by flooding and redirect traffic as needed.
The Public Works Department will have loaders available to remove debris after the storm.
The MBTA is planning to have employees pre-positioned at Aquarium Station with sandbags around high tide. The station was flooded in a major storm in January and the escalators and elevators are still being repaired as a result. There will also be portable pumps pre-deployed in flood-prone areas to expedite the response to any potential issues.
Mayor Marty Walsh was encouraging residents to be mindful of the storm's potential impact and encouraged employers to take the weather into consideration.
"As we saw with the coastal flooding in the Seaport in January, there is a need to proactively plan for our changing climate, which is why we're integrating climate resilience into all aspects of city planning moving forward, beginning with a Climate Ready project in South Boston," said Walsh in a statement.
The Boston Seaport District is bracing for high water levels as New England prepares for a nor'easter.
At Rosa Mexicano in the Seaport District, staff spent Thursday night preparing the restaurant for possible flooding. They had 45 sandbags on hand.
"Bringing in all the patio furniture and then we'll be sandbagging all the doors and backing all the furniture up from the doorways," said general manager Greg Sherman. "We'll be ready."
Seaport resident Michael Chase watched as some streets and part of the Harborwalk went underwater back in January.
"I didn't even try to get too close," he said. "You could have been easily swept out into the harbor and had nobody there to save you."
The National Weather Service has a map that residents in coastal communities can adjust to see if the street they live could potentially be affected by flooding. Click here for the map, then click on the box in the upper right-hand corner of the map. Select the middle drop-down, called "BOX Coastal Overlays," then make sure the boxes for "Inundation Extent" and "Inundation Depth" are checked. In the box next to the map, called "High Tide Cycle," select "2nd PM" and then toggle the bar for "Inundation Overlays - Total Water Level Height" to 15. From there, the map will refresh with the new data.


The research into my father's PAGE family, primarily in Kent and Sussex in the UK and in Florida, Indiana and New York state in the USA, is ongoing and when it is completed, I will make a start on my mother's HARRIS family who come from London and Essex. I am including a little research into the families of those women who married into the PAGE family and so far I have the GOLLOP family of Devon, London and Sussex (Lucy Ellen GOLLOP married my grandfather William John PAGE) and the AUSTEN family of the Brenchley area of Kent (Frances AUSTEN married my great grandfather John PAGE).
I am in the process of entering my research data into a family tree program called Family Historian 6 and learning how to use the program to create reports and upload them to this website. Initially, and in the majority of cases, I am only entering the basic infor-ation (birth/baptism, marriage, children, death, etc) about each person, but eventually I will include all the information I have about each individual. Also, apart from myself, although I am entering data for everyone into Family Historian 6, only those persons who are deceased are being included in the reports published on this website.
My research is called 'Pages of Pages' and can be accessed by clicking on the relevant menu item above. Because the entering of the data and the research is ongoing, and I am discovering new features of the program, the 'Pages of Pages' part of this website is constantly being updated (note the date at the top right hand corner of this page), so please look back here from time to time.
If you are, or believe you could be, related to any of the people in 'Pages of Pages', or have any information about them, please get in touch with me at [email protected] - thanks.

Five driving forces for global value chain transformation
James Zhan
Global value chains will undergo substantive transformation in the decade ahead, reshaping the global trade and investment landscape. James X Zhan, head of investment and enterprise at UNCTAD, identifies the five major drivers of these changes.
Global value chains are being transformed. (Photo by G-Tech Studios/Shutterstock)
The crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic exacerbated pre-existing challenges to the system of international production. The decade to 2030 is likely to prove a period of transformation for global value chains (GVCs), which will have significant implications for the global trade and investment landscape and multinational enterprises' (MNEs) modes of operation.
Five major forces will drive the GVC transformation and reshape the global trade and investment landscape in the upcoming decade. These forces impact on the locational determinants and MNEs' strategic choices for international operations, and subsequently reshape the global investment landscape. All this will present daunting challenges and ample opportunities for companies and states alike, leading to an investment-development paradigm shift.
1. Economic governance realignment
International economic policymaking and especially trade and investment policies are shifting away from multilateral cooperation towards regional and bilateral solutions. This is compounded by a general shift in national economic policymaking through new industrial policies, including protectionism in numerous countries. The aggravated systemic competition (trade, investment, technology, etc) between economic powers may lead to a widespread global economic governance divide.
2. The new industrial revolution
The application of new technologies in international production of global MNEs will have far-reaching consequences for the configuration of GVCs. The key technology trends include robotics-enabled automation and AI-enhanced systems, supply chain digitalisation (including platforms, cloud, the internet of things, blockchain and additive manufacturing and mass customisation). Each of these technologies will have distinct effects on the length, geographical distribution and governance of GVCs. Each technology, depending on industry-specific deployment, will flatten, squeeze or bend the 'smile curve' of GVCs in its own way. All this will reshape the global trade and investment landscape and exert long-term social and economic impacts in different parts of the world.
3. Sustainability endeavour
The big push for the green and blue agenda by markets and governments is changing products and processes along the value chains in the direction of sustainability. According to the UN Conference on Trade and Development's (UNCTAD) latest estimates, the global sustainability-dedicated funds are now at the level of between $1.2trn and $1.3trn, including $260bn of green bonds, $105bn of social bonds, and more than $900bn of sustainability-themed equity funds. The global effort to mobilise and channel investment to realise the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will also change the future pattern of foreign direct investment (FDI), including the sources of financing, sectoral distribution and geographical location. UNCTAD's recent review has shown that six out of ten SDG groupings saw an increase in investment over the past six years. Investment in SDGs is expected to grow to trillions of dollars in the coming years.
4. Corporate accountability
International cooperation to fight corruption, illicit payments, tax evasion and anti-competitive practices will have important implications for the modes of operation of MNEs. The environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards and disclosure requirements will add to trade and investment policy pressures from both host and home states. Differences in approach between countries and regions on emission targets will impact the GVC governance choices. This author envisages the transformation of ESG standards in three dimensions in the coming years: a shift from icing-on-the-cake to integration into business models; from proliferation to a harmonisation of standards; and from voluntary to mandatory compliance. The transformation is gathering new momentum as governments and regulators are gearing up their efforts to integrate ESG into regulatory frameworks for FDI and capital markets, while MNEs worldwide are shifting their business value from shareholder-based to stakeholder-based.
5. Resilience-oriented restructuring
The global crises, as well as growing geopolitical conflicts, will drive MNEs to make their global value chains more resistant to new types of shocks, and governments to reduce reliance on foreign sources for critical supplies. Admittedly, it will not be so easy for many MNEs to restructure their GVCs, and the reshoring and nearshoring have not been significant for some countries during the pandemic. Nevertheless, the trend is emerging and likely to continue beyond the pandemic. MNEs will adopt new modes of business operations to enhance agility and flexibility, and to cope with increasing volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity of the global business environment. All of this will exert a significant impact on the future pattern of global investment flows, including through diversification, redundancy and, to a certain extent, reshoring and nearshoring.
The effects on global investment of the five driving forces are multifaceted. They are sometimes mutually reinforcing, and sometimes push in opposite directions. They play out differently across industries and geographies. Combined, these driving forces will impact three sets of locational determinants of the host countries: the policies and regulatory framework for international investment, the characteristics and dynamics of the host economy, and the investment facilitation and infrastructure.
The driving forces will also fundamentally alter the way companies across industries will design and operate their GVCs. They will influence MNEs' strategic choices for international operations (modes of governance: arm's length transactions [trade], FDI or non-equity modes). They will affect where MNEs choose to locate which type of activities, how they distribute value-added, tangible and intangible assets over their networks, and how they transmit practices, including ESG, to actors along their value chains. Global patterns of trade and investment will change consequently, as will their potential impact on economic growth, employment creation and sustainable development.

Q: What is the format of Docusign send document response's timestamp? Send Envelope in docusign API sample response is shown below.
{
  "envelopeId": "some-id",
  "uri": "/envelopes/some-id",
  "statusDateTime": "2014-08-21T09:49:33.3470000Z",
  "status": "sent"
}

I want to change this statusDateTime as CDT. Is there any way possible to handle this in Docusign API?
If no, Is there is any possible to convert this as CDT in jQuery?

A: As the comment above indicates, DocuSign API specifies date/time values in UTC format. It's not possible for DocuSign API responses to specify date/time using any other timezone -- it's always going to be UTC. However, it should be possible (with fairly minimal effort) to convert a date/time from UTC to CDT (or any other timezone you need) in your application code, once you receive the response from DocuSign.

Series: The Art and Craft of Composing Intercourse Scenes
Humor: Funny Intercourse
Note: This variety of articles ended up being written a serious time that is long, however it is nevertheless extremely popular. Someday i am hoping to have around to revising it and rendering it obtainable in pdf structure. Until then, please be conscious that links and pictures may often fade away.
Provided the known proven fact that this subject will get really bogged straight straight straight down in pseudo-intellectual banter, I've chose to focus on an intercourse scene this is certainly funny but still evocative. This is certainly from Welcome to Temptation by Jenny Crusie, that will be a novel for anybody who (1) likes a beneficial tale (2) particularly likes good relationship (3) appreciates good dialog. She's additionally extremely great at intercourse scenes, because you'll see right right right here.
The first guideline for any intercourse scene is the fact that it offers to play a role in the characterizations while the plot. In this instance, we now have a couple during intercourse together for the time that is first. They've only understood one another a day or two but there's a great deal of stress because he sees her work as possibly damaging to his own between them, sexual, personal, professional; she's got a secret he's determined to unearth. Sophie is unsure of by herself in many other ways, and also at chances because she's extremely interested in this person and doesn't trust him.
Here is the very first complete intimate encounter (although there's a really interesting assignation on a watercraft dock earlier in the day), and next to Sophie's lacking a time that is good. She's wondering just how to tell him it is no longer working, and therefore possibly they is going view tv, as he figures that out for himself and takes actions — without interrupting what he's doing. That's where this excerpt begins.
Thank you for visiting Temptation. Copyright Jennifer Crusie.
"I think it is time we surely got to understand each other," Phin stated, laughter inside the vocals. "What you think about whenever you masturbate?"
"Okay, I'm away from right here." Sophie attempted to roll out of with his hips, and she stayed just to feel him hard inside her under him, but he squeezed straight down on her.
"What you think about, Sophie?" he whispered inside her ear, and she stated loudly, "I don't think of anything."
"You are this kind of lousy liar." He rolled once again, this time so that she ended up being on the top, his human anatomy sliding slickly under hers, and Sophie felt by herself flush.
"Bondage?" he said, their sound husky with a rope, and I'm history. as he rocked against her, their arms on her behalf hips, and she caught her breath and stated, "You come near me"
"Okay, later for the," he said. "Rape fantasy?"
"Tacky," she said, and he stated, "Not it right if you do. You intend to dominate?"
"Oh, yeah. Like you'd let me." She began to laugh, and then stop whenever she heard individuals within the home downstairs. "Shhh."
"Why?" Phin stopped going. "It's simply Wes and Amy."
"Yeah." Sophie viewed her neck during the home.
"Did you lock it?" Phin stated in her ear, in which he sounded amused.
"I forgot." She attempted to take away from him, but he rolled and trapped her once again, sliding much deeper inside her and making her gasp. "Stop it," she said breathlessly. "I'm not really certain it is closed most of the method. I want to get secure it and I'll keep coming back."
"Bothers you, huh?" Phin started working their means down her throat once more as he pulsed inside her, and Sophie felt the warmth distribute low as her bloodstream pounded.
'"They could walk in anytime." He nibbled on her behalf neck, and she twitched under him and felt her breath get. "Walk right in and locate us nude." He slid his musical organization up to her sweat-dampened breast, plus the temperature rolled across her as she relocated to their rhythm. "Find you nude. Beside me inside you. Absolutely absolutely Nothing you might do about any of it."
She caught her breathing and stated, "Stop it." and then he said, "Nope, I think we're getting somewhere."
She squirmed under him to have away, and their health slid together. He said, "Oh, Jesus, yes. Accomplish that," and she smacked him regarding the neck at the same time because he was so hard moving inside her and he felt so good because he was so impossible, and arched into him.
"Maybe I'm able to get. . . somebody else. . . to start that door,than she meant because it was part moan" he said in her ear, and she said, "No!" a lot louder. She heard Amy state, "Sophie?" downstairs, and she tensed. Phin laughed straight straight straight down at her, their face as damp as hers.
Beautifully moist, Sophie idea. Be mindful everything you want.
Amy called her name once again, and Phin stated "Excellent." He rocked greater into her and she bit her lip to help keep from moaning after which moaned anyhow. "Louder," he said, and she shook her head while the temperature built and their rhythm started to make her meaningless.
"Then it's as much as me personally." He sounded breathless. "The man constantly needs to do everything."
He leaned against her over her to the bedside table, and she bit into his shoulder from the sheer pleasure of feeling him. He then stopped, and she seemed around see him holding the noisy alarms.
"I'll buy you a fresh one," he said, and tossed it resistant to the wall surface. "What have you been doing?" she screamed since it crashed and went down clanging. Amy called up, "Sophie?" and Phin relocated again, rocking harder, and she shuddered under him and gasped, "Stop it."
"This close? Instead of your daily life." He had been going faster now, and she clutched at him and breathed difficult because the force built. She stated, "No… no. . . we're not… close," in which he rolled across her once once again, making her jerk against him. He picked up the dolphin lamp, yanking the cord out against the wall with it, and she realized what he was doing and shrieked, "No!" just as he threw it.
It shattered and dropped along with the alarm that is clanging. "Sophie?" Amy called, and started within the stairs, and Phin stated, "This will it be," and relocated high into her, getting her wrists and keeping them over her mind, sliding hot togetthe girl with her, rocking difficult inside her, whispering inside her ear that Amy'd get them, any moment, any moment, any moment, now, now, now, and Sophie twisted under him, caught into the temperature plus the fall plus the panic and also the throb he was beating into her, after which Amy stated, "Sophie?"' and pressed available the entranceway, and Sophie cried, "Oh, God," and arrived so very hard she almost passed away.
"Oh," Amy said, and shut the entranceway.
Therefore to get relating to this in a fairly analytical method, it's smart to check term option first. You'll notice there's no explicit vocabulary right right here, no naming of physiology being involved beyond breast. The passage certain comes across as explicit, but why?
It is possible to proceed through and select out of the terms which can be evocative, and several of those are verbs: pound, best foreign brides move, clutch, pulse, stone, bite, slide, whisper, moan. That selection of terms taken alone states 'sexual encounter.' Intercourse is just a matter of physical exercies (in this situation, at the least) and these verbs bring that house into the audience. You will find a number of indirect sources to just how those two are involved; specially the prepositions in and into explain what is happening. Temperature is really a major theme right here: the space is hot (previously it is founded that there's no airconditioner, also it's high summer time) plus the friction is both psychological and real.
My take about this scene is regardless of the deft range of verbs and images that are visual it certainly works due to the dialog. Dialogue is regarded as Jenny's strongest points, and right here she actually shines.
The cardinal guideline of any dialog is it offers to provide one or more purpose to make its put on the web web page. In cases like this, we acquire some genuine details about Phin: He's got a feeling of humor, tremendous existence of brain, exquisite control, imagination, and he's intimately generous and playful, all exemplary items that Sophie can't resist, and neither can your reader. He's additionally outrageous, which actually takes this scene beyond the pale. Whatever doubts Sophie had they have changed significantly by the time they are through about him before this encounter. Their suspicions about her — the very fact that she's repressed but reachable, that she's going to react if approached well, are verified. They have been on the method.
