Best Chat Client On Windows Phone [And It's Not Whatsapp].
Built by ex-Yahoo employees, and now owned by Facebook, WhatsApp is the world's most popular messenger. The cross platform messaging service has over 500 million monthly active users. The company claims that its servers deliver more than 10 billion messages each day! This should give you an idea about just how popular this app is.
So, when we say that there is something better than WhatsApp on Windows store, WE MEAN IT.
Yes, you read correctly. Most of you know about it , and most of you probably have dismissed Telegram Messenger Beta in favor of WhatsApp when it launched on Windows Store. But, make no mistake, with regular updates and a superb UI, this app is becoming quite the crowd favorite.
Apart from being one of the most user friendly IM client in Windows store it is also one of the most feature filled app, with myriads of features. For instance, the latest update brings the following.
Revised notifications in groups: mentioned users and people you reply to will be notified (private chat notification settings apply in this case instead of group settings).
Well, here's a fun fact. Telegram Messenger is Cross-Platform. That is you can use it from your computer running any OS by installing the desktop software. Sure you could use WhatsApp on your computer, but the process is rather cumbersome and limited. Moreover, you can use it only on Google Chrome browser and your phone needs to be connected to the Internet. Bummer..!!
How nice is it to download the Telegram Messenger Desktop Client and run it anytime you wish, regardless of which browser you us or if your phone is connected to net or not. And it is portable, that is you can carry the tiny software in your USB stick and run it on any PC.
Apart from that, with Telegram, you can create group chats with up to 200 people so you can stay connected with everyone at once. Plus, you can share videos up to 1 GB, send multiple photos from the web, and forward any media you receive.
What separates it from the crowd is the focus on security. Telegram offers secret Chats with an option to select the level of encryption. You can can program the messages to self destruct from both devices so there is never any record of it.
Any aspect of social interaction we could think of, Telegram's got us covered.
So why don't you take it out for a spin. May be you will like it. Tell us all about it in the comments below.

I'm sure you've seen the scene repeated over and over in different movies. The bad guy has someone important in their power -- a loved one, a president, an innocent victim, whatever -- with the threat of deadly violence to them if the good guy doesn't drop his own carefully aimed, tightly held weapon. And how many times have we yelled at the screen, "Don't do it!"? Why? Because disarming yourself in the face of evil is stupid.
But, that's Hollywood. That's writers. I mean, it's fiction. Except it's not. Not when it comes to Christians in today's world.
These days they will be threatening something precious -- marriage, religious freedom, biblical truth, clear morality -- and tell us to put down our weapons. Put down your prayers. Put down your Scripture. Drop your religion. Throw aside your "flying spaghetti monster". And Someone is screaming, "Don't do it!" And a lot of us do it anyway.
"Well," the "wise" of this world will tell you, "you can't expect an unbeliever to accept your arguments based on Scripture when they deny Scripture." Except that Scripture says, "The word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart" (Heb 4:12) and "All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work" (2 Tim 3:16-17) and "It is written, "'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.'" (Matt 4:4) and "Faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ." (Rom 10:17).
"Don't pray!" the skeptic scorns. "Do!" Except that the Word of God says, "Pray without ceasing" (1 Thess 5:17), "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God" (Phil 4:6), and "The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working." (James 5:16).
"Where is your God now?" they taunt. "You're going to have to deal with us on our terms." Except the Word says that God is "the only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords" (1 Tim 6:15) and assures us "If God is for us, who can be against us?" (Rom 8:31).
Look, it makes perfect sense in the minds of writers of fiction that the good guy should set aside the only thing that is keeping the evil one from harming others and killing our protagonist. Perfect sense. Except it's nonsense. And when we agree to it in this spiritual warfare in which we're engaged, we're fools. And when the father of lies says, "If you drop your weapons no one will get hurt," please know that he's lying. As for me, I intend to keep my arsenal.
Dropping your weapon always leads to losing the loved one and serious harm to yourself.
Well said, Stan. Well said.
Giving up on prayer and Scripture is a failure to understand the fundamental flaw of humanity, we are sinners whose actions deserve punishment. We're not mostly good, unless you only define good as "that which feels nice to me", then we're almost perfect.

The annual exclusion is the amount of property the IRS allows a person to gift to another person during a calendar year before a gift tax is assessed and/or a gift tax return must be filed. The amount increases periodically, and as of 2018, it is set at $15,000. It raises along with the Consumer Price Index, but only jumps in increments of $1,000, so it will be a few years before there is another increase.
There is no limit to the number of people you can give gifts to which qualify for the annual exclusion. To qualify for the annual exclusion, the gift must be one that a recipient can enjoy immediately and have full control over.
The word "give" is a key word. Transfers to an irrevocable trust are generally considered a "gift" and the value of the gift is subject to the gift tax laws. You can give the annual exclusion amount without paying a gift tax. Anything above that will be taxed and eat away at your lifetime exemption amount (approx. $11 million as of 2018). When the exemption amount was a lot lower, the gift tax was a big deal for many folks. Now it isn't a big deal for most folks. Except for Connecticut, states don't have any type of gift tax.
I know some of you are thinking "the gift tax will never apply to me!" Most folks are not giving away over $14,000 a year to anyone. However, you can get into a gift tax situation fairly innocently. For example, if you are helping your divorced daughter and her children by paying the house payments, insurance, and food bills, all those helps are "gifts" in the eyes of the IRS. If you put someone's name on a deed, that's a gift of the proportionate value of the property. For example, if you and your spouse are on the deed and you put a child's name on the deed, that's a gift of a third of the value of the property. You need to think like the IRS and see gifts the way they do.
In estate planning, giving large gifts could make a difference in the estate tax outcome. Some of us have given or received large gifts to make house down payments, so it is important that we understand the gift tax. Using a trust is an ideal way to "give" property to your heirs and yet not let them "have" it. Once property has been irrevocably and completely removed from your asset structure, it is, of course, no longer considered a part of your estate. By making annual gifts to the trust, each under the yearly limit, you can give a lot of property to your heirs and still remain within the "annual exclusion limits." Thus, in many cases, a taxable estate can be moved to the position of a non-taxable estate by gifting into a children's trust.
If you are trying to distribute parts of your estate so that there will be less of a tax on it after you die (see my article on unified taxes), remember that you can give the $15,000 to as many individuals as you want. Your spouse can also give $15,000 to as many folks as he or she wants. The $15,000 is just ignored for tax purposes. The person receiving the gift doesn't report it. It certainly isn't income to them. The person giving the gift just ignores it for tax purposes.
Technically, if a husband and wife each make a gift and the total is over $15,000, the couple needs to file a gift tax return that year and basically tell the IRS that they have made a "split gift." The IRS may think that one person made a $30,000 gift rather than the real intention of each spouse making a $15,000 gift.
If you go over the $15,000, the amount above the $15,000 eats away at the $11 million you can pass under the estate tax laws. Gift and estate taxes are "unified," so you've got a total of the $11 million to give away in life or at death. This tax will not be paid immediately; the lifetime exemption kicks in. IF you have less than $11 million in your total estate, it is very doubtful the IRS will ever come after you for whatever you do. When you exceed that annual exclusion amount, then you owe gift tax to the government, or at least the gift should be reported and some of your unified credit will be used to "pay" the gift tax. There are also exceptions for college education and some health care expenses. So, provided that you file a gift tax return, you will not actually have to pay gift taxes until you (or you and your spouse both) use up your unified credit lifetime exemption.
We checked on IRS website and in 2018 it's 15K. Anyone before giving a gift please check.
You are correct. Trump raised the estate tax considerably, too. We've edited the article to reflect the changes. Thank you for the comment.


Despite the obviously mouth-watering selection of restaurants we have in the area, nobody can eat out every night. When it's time to roll up your sleeves, tie on your apron and make your own meal, why not try one (or all!) of these kitchen gadgets and tools to inspire the chef within.


This is a recipe for a thick and rich curry type sauce. We actually puree shrimp into the sauce to give a flavour and body boost. It's quite easy and very rewarding, so give it a try.
Preheat a large pot on medium heat. Add a little oil and then the shrimp. Sauté the shrimp for about 2 – 3 minutes per side. Remove from the pot and set aside.
Add a little more oil if necessary, and then the onion, and red pepper. Sauté, stirring regularly until the onions are lightly browned.
Add the garlic, turmeric and chilli powder and sauté for 2 minutes more stirring frequently.
Add the coconut milk, cauliflower, salt, lime juice and lemongrass. Cover with a lid and simmer on low heat for 10 minutes or until cauliflower is soft.
Add half of the prawns into the pot and then transfer the mixture to blender. Puree until smooth and then add back to the pot. Chop remaining shrimp into bite sized pieces, add to the sauce and then serve with your favourite whole grain and some extra shrimp.
This dish goes very well with roast chicken breast instead of the extra shrimp.
If you are not a shrimp person then you could easily omit the shrimp from this recipe and it will still be a great sauce.

there's no one quite like me
but you left me broken like a starfish
and i wonder when you'll regret it
- Sarah K. Stefanson
what's new....
31/05/09 Sarah doesn't play much music these days, focussing her creativity on articles and columns instead. Her debut album, broken like a starfish, is now on sale for the very reasonable price of $5 (buy more than one and the price drops to $4 per CD). Please send an email to sstefanson@hotmail.com if you wish to have one (or several) before they are all gone! They make great birthday, anniversary, Christmas, Mother's/Father's Day, convocation, graduation or just because presents!
26/1/06 Sarah is getting her musical feet wet again with a few gigs in the upcoming month.
31/12/05 WHO AM I? at the end of the year... Sarah. Sister. Daughter. Granddaughter. Cousin. Niece. Girlfriend. Lover. Friend. Friend With Benefits. Employee. Writer. Musician. Singer. Recovering Codependent. Polyamorist. Educator. Model. Bookkeeper. Sexuality Enthusiast. Pop Culture Fanatic. Film Geek. Speaker. Feeler. Thinker. Icelander. Ukrainian. Stefanson.
23/12/05 I've been putting this off because I feared the acknowledgement, but I must say now that I'm happier than I've ever been. That's the truth.
04/10/05 The smartest things I've heard this week: "If you're going to be a dog, at least be a good dog. Sit. Beg. Stay." and "I'm getting over getting over you. I'm through just getting through."
12/20/04 I suppose this can only help me grow right? Yeah, that's what I feel I'm doing...growing. By the time you get back, I'll be 50 feet tall.
11/12/04 i love it when it gets far enough into december that you can say, "i'll see you next year!" and it's only a matter of weeks or days until that is true. new year's eve has never really meant much to me (in fact, this year i'll be working at my video store when the clock strikes midnight) but i like a new year. happy holidays everyone. --sarah
28/11/04 sarah has been writing -- a book, a novel, a screenplay, a picture book for adults and at least one line of a song. this is making her think an awful lot about past and present lovers so she is beginning to feel much like the artist she once purported to be.
26/10/04 yesterday, sarah met one of her greatest musical inspirations, billy corgan, at his poetry book signing and reading in seattle. she was too excited to speak, but hopes she got her point across nonetheless.

This is the first of our new 'activities' blogs from the National Day Centres Project, focused on gardens.
Watford New Hope were loaned an unusually large open space, the Dellow Centre in London's East End had just a concrete courtyard and a rooftop to play with and Springboard in Harrogate have a small day centre so chose to make the most of their front garden.
The Community Market Garden is a unique space of one acre backing onto residential houses, one of which houses New Hope residents recovering from addiction. The garden is divided into different spaces including vegetable growing beds, poly-tunnels, a workshop, hencoop, a Mongolian yurt and a fire pit set in a wooded area. We aim to create a nurturing environment where service users can benefit from fresh air and exercise, explore their creative expression, practice helpful life skills and benefit from the therapeutic effects of working with plants and animals.
The project uses a coaching approach, allowing service users to create their own programme with staff support. This might be learning how to grow vegetables and cook with them, taking part in poetry sessions, developing creative writing skills through poetry workshops and carpentry. We also offer many art-based activities, music sessions, and work-skill courses such as bricklaying, budgeting and other life skills, through partnerships with Watford Women's Centre, Groundworks and SMILE.
Two full-time members of staff and eight volunteers support about 70 individuals each year.
The garden receives funding from a variety of sources, ranging from local residents, to national grant-making bodies and corporate sponsorship.
We believe that when people are encouraged to explore their creative potential a precious seed is planted and no-one can tell what might follow from that. This is a place where both plants and people truly grow.
Five years ago, we had a roof and a concrete yard. They weren't pretty and were only used by staff looking for a break and some fresh air.
Since 2012, our community of staff, volunteers and people using the services at Providence Row, with financial and volunteer support from local companies and trusts, have been working together to create beautiful spaces for people to relax, work and train in.
Now we have a green and floral courtyard garden and a flourishing roof garden, which not only grows fruit and veg, but is also the site of an accredited gardening training scheme and a regular therapeutic gardening group for people affected by homelessness.
Every Thursday morning, Gardening Coordinator Julie supervises a class of eight trainees who are taking part in the scheme this summer. Each week they learn new skills and build their confidence as they work towards their certificate in Horticulture. Downstairs in Providence Row's centre Asia and Annette provide one-to-one and group sessions supporting trainees as they search and apply for work. After the sessions, everyone has lunch together, using produce from the roof.
While our day centre building is small, we are very fortunate to have a garden space – this is a unique, sheltered area. The service users designed the space themselves, requesting a rose garden as a memorial to past friends and they enjoy reflecting, away from the hustle and bustle of day-to-day life.
When we first moved into the building in 2009, the garden was totally derelict and overgrown, just mounds of turf, so over the years we've totally re-vamped it. We initially got a grant of £700 and set up a gardening group. We bought wellies and boots of different sizes, basic equipment and materials and for about a year we were producing garden planters out of old pallets, a few of which sold to the public.
Now that it's established, the garden is maintained by service users – initially this was in a structured group, but now on a much more casual basis. They decide between themselves what we need – it's mostly just bedding plants as the shrubbery is well established.
Service users take great pride in maintaining the garden and we have been successful every year at the Harrogate in Bloom Awards for Communal Gardens. One of our most hard working volunteers, Derek, received help from the Project a few years ago and now works tirelessly to make our garden beautiful.
The garden generates an interest in the outdoors and tending plants. Some of our most challenging clients have taken an interest in gardening; I love to observe them working in solitude and enjoying tending and watering the plants. Its therapeutic benefits are immeasurable.
This week I heard one client comment "this is a lovely thing to do, it makes me feel like a normal person".


We're always looking for systems and training that bring us more success and less hassles...and thats probably your goal too.
Awhile back Nick got a call from a fellow named Cory Sanchez.
It's hard not to be impressed with 2 marketers, sharp guys no doubt, who brought in 186 clients in 6 months and are still growing right now.
By the way, those clients all pay monthly fees ranging from $1000 monthly (their minumum) all the way up to $2500 monthly.
So, they offered us a deal. Introduce them to our group of offline local consultants and they would offer them something extraordinary.
Thats what we're bringing you today. The phrase 'Special Offer' gets thrown around all too often today, but this is EXACTLY THAT.
Our demand as part of the bargain, was a price that they initially refused..."Its way too low", they replied. Nick told them, "No big discount, no big deal...its your call."
I know that's sounds crazy, but its true.

Absolutely Not. It is a simple proven formula to find clients by leveraging LinkedIn. ANY dedicated serious consultant can do this and feel proud.
Will LinkedIn members feel I know what I'm doing?
YES, because you'll have completed this training and be approaching them from a position of fellow membership and authority.
NO (Unless YOU Want Them). If you choose to use virtual assistants or outsource that is fine. But its not necessary.
This is PERFECT for a "SOLO ENTREPRENEUR".
It should be just as effective.
If It's so Good, Why Don't you charge more?
Cory and Ira are more concerned with growing their online customer base...so they aren't charging anywhere near their private clients pay. They don't want a high price to be an obstacle to you trying this.
Knowing Cory and Ira as we do, its instantly apparent they want to help others. They're generous with their time and their talent.
No cold calling required for this. This is offline marketing though, and you will be talking to prospects on a previously scheduled call via Skype or Zoom or your phone. This conversation is for you to qualify the client, thats all.
Is the Software difficult to learn?
Nope. Its easy and so powerful. Its an enormous time saver, and totally explained in the training.
Nothing special just basic internet skills (which you already have or you wouldn't be reading this). The training will bring you all you need and any services you want to offer can be outsourced. They tell you the best outsourcing services, also.
Is this just a re-hash of their previous courses?
No, This new course is their premier training for LinkedIn. Its rarely offered and if it is, at a much higher price.
This entire business is totally location independent and can be done entirely by email and phone. Its one of the most convenient home-based businesses you'll ever run.
The temptation is to do everything BUT the prospecting that will turn your business around.
Making better business cards, designing logos, creating brochures, getting a nicer office, a better desk, fatter softer chair, professional photos and on and on.
We know, because we've been there. AVOIDANCE is not a business building strategy.
Instead of hoping for a miracle...be a miracle worker.
With LInkedIn you have the power to build your business to levels you're probably only dreaming of.
The number one thing that you must do after getting a LinkedIn Message reply.
The perfect way to brand yourself so that people are finding what you want them to find about you.
Yes, even low numbers will produce a Six Figure Income - PROOF.
Their recommended software for scheduling. Free version.
The stats: How many show up for phone appointments?
How many "no shows" and what to do with them?
The BIGGEST MISTAKE LinkedIn users are making!
"Fast Food employee closes 11 deals"; You'll see how.
NO guessing!...you'll see real, live responses from prospects.
By harnessing the power of the LinkedIn platform, you can tap into an expansive network. Tons of professionals, companies, and groups in your industry and beyond.
But typical LinkedIn training shows you how to expand your network, look for new career opportunities, join groups, share updates, learn privacy settings and account types, how to archive your data and contribute your thoughts in discussions.
Cory and Ira's training goes FAR BEYOND these simple basics.
They dig deep to show you a powerful system thats bringing them giant money every month. ANYBODY can teach you the easy stuff, in fact most of that can be found for free.
If you want to discover how to seriously and rapidly monetize LinkedIn then you need to be in this training...there is no alternative.
Use Li Client Igniter as we show you for 60 days. Really take action! If you show us that you gave it a fair shot and didn't get any results, we will happily refund your money!

☕ Najib Razak & Co's never give up attitude to appeal against SRC Int'l conviction
Klang MP filed for court injunction to stop GE15, citing monsoon. PH x MUDA x PSM - it's on. Facebook parent Meta now "terrorist" org by Russian authority. Elon Musk now selling perfumes.
Information as of 0745 GMT+7 on Oct 13, 2022.
USD40 bil — the estimated total losses from Pakistan's recent floods. The Pakistan government is appealing for debt relief from global lenders and more help from the global community in fighting the catastrophe, as its own economy is already in crisis. The catastrophic floods affected more than 33 million people (Malaysia's population, btw) and killed more than 1,500 thus far.
A USD128 mil income earns Paris Saint Germain forward Kylian Mbappé the title of the world's highest-paid soccer player in 2022, according to Forbes. The 23-year-old French player earns USD110 mil on the field and USD18 mil off the field.
Some 15 mil colonoscopies are performed in the US each year, but a study by The New England Journal of Medicine found only meagre benefits for the group of people invited to get the procedure: an 18% lower risk of getting colorectal cancer and no significant reduction in the risk of cancer death.
"Bila sampai satu peringkat yang rakyat dah sedar bahawa mainan ratib Cina, Melayu perkauman ini sebenarnya tidak menyelesaikan masalah. Punca kita bukan soal Cina, Melayu, India. Punca kita menteri bodoh. Punca kita menteri tak amanah, makan duit."
- Rafizi Ramli, on racial issues not being able to solve the country's problem
Shafee's relentless pursuit of the King's counsel
Najib's lawyer Muhammad Shafee Abdullah said King's Counsel Jonathan Laidlaw would represent imprisoned former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak if there is a rehearing of his appeal in the SRC International Sdn Bhd case.
Shafee filed an appeal after the High Courts had in July dismissed Laidlaw's application to be admitted as an advocate and solicitor in Malaysia (to defend Najib). While the SRC case has since concluded, Shafee's team maintains that the application pertains to Laidlaw's involvement in all matters related to the main appeal — including a rehearing. Another case management for this has been set for Nov 8.
MRT Putrajaya Line Phase 2 is set to open to the public in January 2023
Final tests for MRT Putrajaya Line Phase 2 are underway as part of the prerequisites set by the authorities to test and measure the effectiveness of the system before the public can use it. MRT Putrajaya Line Phase 2, which runs from Kampung Batu to Putrajaya Sentral, is set to open in January of next year, just in time for a new PM to officiate the new line.
Malaysia is top-tier in building world-class infrastructures but with a brainless approach to maintaining them. An observation conducted by a good samaritan on Twitter revealed that 51 escalators at the country's latest MRT stations are faulty. You can view the thread here.
GE15 Updates
The UMNO president said, "This (15th) election is the mother of all general elections" in a speech at the MIC AGM. He suggested that BN leaders could face criminal trials if their coalition loses in the coming general election.
Incumbent Klang MP Charles Santiago takes to the court in an attempt to defer the upcoming elections, citing the rainy season and floods. The MP has filed an injunction at the KL High Court on the basis that the request of the prime minister to dissolve Parliament was not made in consultation with the cabinet.
Penang DAP is contemplating if it should dissolve the state assembly with Parliament because it seems like Penangites want both elections to be held simultaneously. The matter would be discussed with the Pakatan Harapan presidential council. Pakatan Harapan (PH) communications director Fahmi Fadzil said the decision would be announced within 48 hours.
Perak Mentri Besar Saarani Mohamad has made the request to dissolve the Perak Legislative Assembly and now the ball is in Sultan Nazrin Muizzuddin Shah's court. His Royal Highness is said to be considering the decision.
Pakatan Harapan (PH) enlarged its tent as the coalition agreed to cooperate with the Malaysia United Democratic Alliance (Muda) and Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM). PH stopped short of admitting the parties into its coalition as it is an electoral pact for now. The pact means Muda, PSM and PH parties should not clash in any seats for GE15.
Bonus: Zunar's alternative guide to voting for GE15.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) revised Malaysia's gross domestic product (GDP) growth forecast for Malaysia in 2022 to 5.4% from 5.1%. However, for 2023, the fund projected Malaysia's GDP to grow by 4.4% next year, citing the slowdown in the global economy. The fund said, "The worst is yet to come, and for many people, 2023 will feel like a recession."
After all the drama that ensued, Caely Holdings Bhd founder and former non-executive director Fong Nyok Yoon has withdrawn her suit against the company and six former directors. On Apr 26, Fong sought to prohibit the former directors from allotting and issuing new shares in the company through a private placement exercise pursuant to the resolution passed at Caely's annual general meeting (AGM) held on Sept 22, 2021.
Nissan sells Russian business for EUR1, Mercedes impressive sales growth
Japanese carmaker Nissan has sold its Russian business to NAMI, the Russian state-owned Central Research and Development Automobile and Engine Institute, for just a single euro. The company suspended operations in March. It will incur a one-time loss of JPY100 bil (USD700 mil) from this sale and exit from Russia, meanwhile preserving 2,000 jobs. Despite that, Nissan is still maintaining its full-year guidance as it expects to increase revenue in 2022 by 18.7% while operating profit remains flat.
Nissan's future in Russia is not completely over. It could still make a re-entry without starting from scratch — included in this deal is an option for Nissan to buy back the entity within the next 6 years.
Supply-chain bottlenecks and bleak economic outlook aren't stopping Mercedes-Benz AG from selling more cars. The German carmaker sold 517,800 cars globally in its third quarter, up an impressive 21% year-on-year as growth is recorded in all key regions. As for its competitor BMW AG, quarterly sales were flattish at just under 588,000.
NASA's DART attempt to divert an asteroid's trajectory a success
NASA's fridge-sized Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft that was designed to deliberately smash into the asteroid Dimorphos has successfully changed Dimorphos' trajectory into a smaller, faster orbit around its big brother Didymos. The collision happened on Sept 26 but analysis of light patterns from ground telescopes needed a few weeks to confirm the success. This proof-of-concept of using the "kinetic impact" method of planetary defence could one day protect Earth from approaching objects from space.
There will be no need to use a nuclear bomb and sacrifice Bruce Willis. But if we do need a hero to save Earth from an asteroid armageddon, Tom Cruise could be a candidate. Tom Cruise, known for doing his own stunts, is taking his game to the next level — to space. He could be doing a spacewalk at the International Space Station in an upcoming adventure movie that could cost USD200 mil in collaboration with Elon Musk's SpaceX and NASA.

TikTok - profiting from Syrian refugees, growing ambition to eat Amazon's pie
A BBC investigation found that TikTok took up to 70% of proceeds from refugee families in Syrian camps that were seeking donations through TikTok's live stream, pleading for digital gifts with cash value. Some Syrian refugee live streamers were earning an hourly rate of USD1,000 but received far less. BBC tested TikTok's gifting system by having one of its journalists live stream from his Syrian-based TikTok account. BBC donated USD106 to the journalist account and received only USD33.03. Watch the investigation here.
TikTok is planning to build its own fulfilment centres and supply chain system in the US, based on a dozen new job openings posted on Linkedin in the past 2 weeks. This marks a significant move for the social media giant to diversify its revenue stream away from ads, but with physical capex investment and cut-throat e-commerce margins, this sounds like a money-burning pit. TikTok should exchange notes with Shopee.
Facebook parent Meta now a "terrorist" organisation and Putin is coming near us
Following Facebook and Instagram ban in late March, Russia has added Meta Platforms Inc to its list of "terrorists and extremists" for "carrying out extremist activities", accusing the tech giant of tolerating "Russophobia" during Russia's military campaign in Ukraine. Ironically, Russia leveraged Facebook and other social media platforms to meddle in the 2016 US elections through its disinformation efforts.
If you want to protest the Ukraine war in front of Putin's face, your chance might be here in November. Bangkok Post reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin has accepted Thailand's invitation to attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Bangkok next month.
Myanmar's Nobel laureate and deposed leader Aung San Suu Kyi has been sentenced to three years in jail by the court for accepting bribes, which she called absurd and denied any wrongdoing. The sentence would run concurrently, bringing the 77-year-old's jail term to 26 years long. If she makes it out of jail, she will be 103 years old.
The world's richest man Elon Musk is now selling perfumes through The Boring Company, naming it "Burnt Hair" with "the essence of repugnant desire", as described by its website. 10,000 bottles are up for sale at USD100 a pop, to be shipped in the first quarter of 2023 — buy it here if you are keen for RM476. Other quirky items Musk has sold previously — Teslaquila (Tesla's own-brand tequila), flamethrowers and Boring Company hats (I have one!)

I am a new patient, so I arrived early as there was some in patient paperwork to complete. The staff wasvery friendly, efficient and top notch professionals. Dr. Mahesh and assistants were superb.
I am a new patient, so I arrived early as there was some in patient paperwork to complete. The staff was very friendly, efficient and top notch professionals. Dr. Mahesh andassistants were superb.
**ATTENTION PATIENTS: Please include your INSURANCE ID NUMBER when booking your appointment!** Dr. Manesh enjoys comprehensive individualized care and he places strong emphasis on care for the entire family. His philosophy of care is evident in his relationship with his patients as well as his fellow professionals and staff. Dr. Manesh insists on the highest level of excellence for himself and his dental providers. To help maintain this goal he has instituted frequent meetings to discuss the latest in dental techniques and to evaluate performance. Continuing education and patient satisfaction are of utmost importance to him.
Great service, explained everything and upfront about costs.
Dr Manesh was great and would go back though I did find them a bit pushy. One of the assistants was quite pushy on the Invisalign front which got old quickly.
They tried to sell me on orthodontic prodecures and merchandise I do not need, including Invisalign. I had five years of hardware as a kid and my teeth and jaw are just fine. I wish they could focus more on the Dentistry.
Very welcoming, thorough, and professional dentist and staff.
It went very well. I am afraid of needles, so I was a little nervous, but everyone was so helpful.
Excellent. Very pleased with my dental office, Dr. Manesh and his taff.
Dr Manesh and his staff are friendly, caring and very professional.
This used to be my normal dentist but I've realized some issues with this practice. He put on a crown a few years ago. A year or 2 after, when I went in for a filling he questioned the crown because-in his words- it looked like it needed to be replaced due to incorrect placement - when I told him he placed the crown, he was shocked. I contacted his front office regarding my insurance and it took over a month of me calling over and over again to finally get an answer. After a filling, I had some tooth pain and called for a refill on the pain meds, it took hours to get a callback and guess what - I had to call to finally get an answer. All of that only for him to refuse to approve the refill. Do you think he called and apologized for his staff's mistakes? Of course not. The way I see it, if someone doesn't care about keeping a patient, I need to find a new practice.
I was traveling for work and unfortunately broke my tooth. I called at 5, and was seen by 530 which was the quickest I could get there. They had never met me, but treated me like a regular patient. They weighedmy options with me, made sure we picked the best one and not just fill the tooth until I can get home. I did end up paying for my temporary crown, but they were so very empathetic and are going to continue to work with myself and my dentist until resolved. I wish I lived here, I would've found a new dentist! The office is amazing!
Everyone I met with was caring and professional. I felt sure that they knew what they were doing, were going to give me the best treatment possible, and wanted to help me feel comfortable.
Dr. Manesch accommodated an emergency situation with grace and ease. I was given a same day appointment, greeted by lovely front desk staff, and made to feel confident and certain of a good outcome for my treatment. The ambiance in the office is calming and comforting.
It was good and fast.
Don't waist your money and time Any longer .Dr. Ben Manesh is the Best QUALIFIED, EXPERIENCED,PROFESSIONAL And CARING Dentist That I've ever come across. He and his friendly staff are superior In managing my pain and stress. Highly recommended to all.
Ben Manesh and his staff are amazing!
Wonderful , and friendly team. My visit was very pleasant. Dr.Ben Mannesh was amazing and caring with great personality.
i honestly felt like I was visiting friends. Dentists are scary but NOT here. Its so loving and great!!!!
Dr. Manesh was great & he did a great job. The issue was his office manager who kept trying to max out my insurance for unnecessary procedures. It was extremely unprofessional. Then they call you to attempt to persuade you to come back for future work.
It was an emergency visit for a filling that fell out. Dr. Manesh and his team were quick to respond and get me in the chair, prepped, and finished with the procedure to replace my filling. I was very grateful the office was open on a Saturday. Thank you all.
Dr. Manesh was great as always. I came in for a tooth extraction and was a little nervous, but the staff was reassuring and Dr. Manesh was fast, efficient, and gentle. The procedure lasted 4 minutes exactly (not exaggerating!). I will continue to go back to Dr. Manesh.
I had four fillings replaced, in one sitting. I was worried that would be too much at one time, but Dr. Manesh and his staff handled everything expertly and it was a breeze. The staff is very kind, welcoming, and attentive,and Dr. Manesh is relaxed and very skilled -- just what I needed.
What a great dentist! The whole office is friendly and he did great work on my teeth. The crown he put in is perfect. I would highly recommend this practice to other people looking for a dentist.
It was great because I was afraid of the dentist and he made me feel comfortable.
Allen H. June 2016 I of course am no dentist, But it seems to me that only one time to go to Dr. Manesh should be required for new impressions for new dentures, rather than---THREE TIMES. Other than that all was good.
After a hellish first few months in Washington with an urgent and difficult root canal, visits to 5 denists and endodontists, and a lot of money out of pocket, I came to Dr Manesh. He took care of the actual problemright away, with the quickest root canal I had ever had. He also has the best technology and made a perfect fitting crown that feels like my natural tooth. I am going back tomorrow to get my teeth whitened pre-wedding. Great dentist offices are hard to find, and Dr Manesh is a great dentist with a great staff. Honestly, I would never go to another dentist in Washington again.
Dr. Manesh was professional and quick. He provided me with options on a treatment, did not push me into a certain course of action, and answered all of my questions in depth. His assistants and office staff were kind, courteous, and professional. I highly recommend Dr. Manesh.
Dr. Manesh was very friendly and courteous, and was efficient during my dental examination. I would recommend to anyone, especially since he offers Saturday appointments!
Great experience, very professional Doctor and great service.
Very professional and respectful doctor who takes his job seriously..
The dental hygienist was also fantastic.
The doctor is fine. But the assistant who provides pricing is not good and I do not recommend her at all.
I went to see Dr. Manesh for a teeth cleaning. He was very thorough with the cleaning and I would definitely go back.
Dr. Manesh is highly recommended, thorough, and completely above and beyond expectations. Will enthusiastically recommend to family and friends.

Q: Django serializers nested data reformat I have a three model course_category,course and sub_course which have Foreign key relationship between them serially.

but the output i want is just oppsite of the output i got
and i know queryset = subcourse.objects.prefetch_related('courses') is the one where i shall work on but i'm new at it i make the changes by shuffling courses and subcourse but it gives the errors that courses don't have subcourse objects

A: Once try this I am not sure but have a try once.
class SubCourseSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):

    class Meta:
        model = subcourse
        fields = ('__all__')
class CourseSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    subcourse = SubCourseSerializer(many=True)
    class Meta:
        model = course
        fields =('id','course_name','created_by','modified_by','modified_by','modified_date','is_deleted_flag','subcourse',)

and finally course_categories
class CourseCategoriesSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
        course = CourseSerializer(many=True)
        class Meta:
            model = course_categories
            fields = ('id','category_name','created_by','created_date','modified_date','modified_by','is_deleted_flag','course',)

and class name in Python always starts with capital letter and we usally wont use '_' in word separataion like course_categories you should practice naming convention.. we use CourseCategories as class name.

A: This is because in query you using course as reference to fetch all data.
fields = ('course',)

or you can do
in views.py
class ModelName_APIView(APIView):

    def get(self,request):
        model_refrence = Article.objects.filter()
        serializer = Modle_Serializer(model_refrence,many=True)
        return Response(serializer.data)

List of lectures and participants
Conventional synthetic materials, like metals, ceramics or glass, are usually isotropic substances, and their suitability for structural applications is achieved by morphological design and combination in the macroscopic scale. However, in modem engineering this is often not acceptable. As an alternative, the use of non-homogeneous, anisotropic materials, with significant stiffness and strength only in the directions these mechanical properties are really needed, can lead to enormous material (and weight) savings. This is the case of multiphase systems called composite materials. In these composites, different material parts are added and arranged geometrically, under clearly designed and controlled conditions. Usually, a structure of fibers provides strength and stiffness and a matrix helds them together, whilst providing the geometric form.
Carbon fibers are among the high-performance fibers employed in these advanced structural composites, which are profoundly changing many of today's high technology industries. New research and development challenges in this area include upgrading the manufacturing process of fibers and composites, in order to improve characteristics and reduce costs, and modifying the interfacial properties between fibers and matrix, to guarantee better mechanical properties.
The interdisciplinary nature of this "new frontier" is obvious, involving chemistry, materials science, chemical and mechanical engineering. Other topics, which more often are treated separately, are also important for the understanding of the processes of fiber production. Carbon filaments is one such topic, as the study of their mechanisms of nucleation and growth is clearly quite relevant to the production of vapour-grown carbon fibers.
For this reason, it was considered appropriate that recognised world experts, actively involved in research, development and design in the field of carbon fibers and filaments, should meet and exchange ideas and experiences. Such a meeting was held at Alvor, Portugal, from 15 to 27 May, 1989, under the sponsorship of the NATO Advanced Study Institutes Programme.
This Advanced Study Institute was organized into three main sections, devoted to carbon fibers, composites and filaments, respectively. In each section, the whole field was reviewed from the basic concepts to the frontiers of present knowledge, integrating a coherent set of lectures. At the end of each section, a general debate was held to systematize the subject and to identify areas of required research.
The present book is organized in a similar way. The first part, dedicated to carbon fibers, contains six lectures presenting the state of the art in the production, characterization and applications of PAN- based, pitch and mesophase-based and gasphase grown carbon fibers. In the second part, composites with polymeric (thermoplastic and thermosetting resins), carbon and ceramic matrices are studied. Special attention is given to the fiber-matrix interface, and medical applications of carbon-based materials are also reviewed. The third section deals with the formation of filamentous carbon catalysed by metals such as nickel, iron and alloys. Conflicting views on the mechanism of filament growth are discussed in detail. In addition, novel and potentially interesting applications of these filaments as engineering materials are presented. At the end of each section there is a summary of the debates held during the Institute, written in chapter form by their respective co-ordinators.
The editors would like to express their gratitude to all speakers and participants for their active contributions which made the Institute and this book possible, and to the Scientific Affairs Division of NATO for the financial support that was in the basis of it all. Additional support was provided by the Universities of Porto and Minho, Junta Nacional de Investigll¥lio Cientffica e Tecnol6gica, Instituto Nacional de Investiga9lio Cientffica and the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, and is gratefully acknowledged.

is a Japanese automotive engineer who was responsible for the design and construction of the first Lexus LS.  Born in 1937, he joined Toyota Motor Corporation shortly after graduating from Nagoya University with a degree in engineering. By the time he was placed in charge of the Lexus development effort, otherwise known as the F1 project, Suzuki had amassed 25 years of experience at the firm in multiple areas of vehicle development. Suzuki's brainchild, the LS 400, launched in 1989, laying the groundwork for the successful debut of the Lexus marque.

Early life
Suzuki was born in Tokyo in 1937. Before 1941, his family had moved to the town of Tsushima, Aichi, outside Nagoya, where his father took a job at the Nisshin Flour Milling Company. In school, Suzuki proved to be a gifted student, finding schoolwork easy, particularly in the field of mathematics.  As he grew older, he developed a disinterest in school lessons, leading to a pattern of truancy.  Unknown to Suzuki until his high school reunion years later, his mother persuaded a teacher to excuse his absences, allowing him to graduate and enroll in Nagoya University.

Career

Following graduation, Suzuki applied for a job at Toyota Motor Corporation, which had its headquarters in Nagoya. Suzuki was initially assigned to vehicle body assembly despite a professed interested in engines. Over the years, Suzuki was mentored by senior department members, and worked with teams from numerous company departments. In 1983, company chairman Eiji Toyoda initiated the F1 project, a plan to create a brand-new luxury sedan which would challenge the top models from Mercedes-Benz and BMW. Engineers Ichirō Suzuki and Shoji Jimbo were initially selected to head the development effort in 1984.

In 1985, Suzuki sent a team of engineers to New York and California to determine the expectations of luxury consumers. His team developed a set of key criteria that their new sedan had to achieve in order to be successful in the luxury market.  Suzuki also developed a series of "no-compromise goals", which were seemingly contradictory or mutually exclusive design targets (e.g. high top speed yet low fuel consumption).  These goals became known as "Lexus Musts" which have since been used as benchmark standards for vehicle development within Lexus. As chief engineer, Suzuki ensured that the completed LS 400 sedan met each of the design criteria, intended to exceed rival vehicles in key aspects.

The 1989 launch of Suzuki's biggest project, the Lexus LS, proved to be a major success, with the sedan outselling rival flagship models within its first year on the market. With this achievement, Suzuki gained legendary status within the company as the "Michael Jordan of chief engineers." In 2000, Suzuki was honored with the title of gikan, or executive advisory engineer, and mentored other Lexus engineers before retiring in 2003.

How do I transfer/import or convert my existing accounting files directly into Credit Time 2000© Metro 2® Format?
Currently, we do not offer our client(s) an import option within Credit Time 2000©. We simple do not believe mapping data fields by inexperience users' who are not familiar with all of credit bureau's different types of reporting formats by industry and requirements will only result in not reporting your credit account's truly accurately. Such a high degree of incorrect information on consumers' credit files (due to import defaults) will cause more work for the credit bureaus and your company in correcting errors and handling consumers' disputes. The Metro 2® format has a massive number of required data fields for complying to the 1996 Fair Credit Reporting Act. The majority of most accounting software systems do not have all of these required Metro 2® format fields or assigned credit bureaus reporting codes. The Metro 2® Credit Format has special assigned credit bureau codes, including special comment field, bankruptcy codes field, and payment rating history codes field that are only used only by the credit industry for displaying correct information on a consumers' credit file.
a) How does your software system handle the aging issue problem or any of the standard missing required Metro 2® fields?
b) How does your system handle missing required credit defined codes not available on our files? Such as bankruptcies, special comments, consumer compliance indicator's missing from our system? – Please ask the vendor if you are required to manually update each and every account for these each month for each account you are reporting?
c) Does your Metro 2® import function assign default codes for many of the credit bureau required codes for every record even when each account is unique in it's biographic origin and detail terms under contract agreement to your office?
d) How are you going to know when you perform updates or changes to your credit reporting file for the consumer's name, address, social security number or a combination of those fields or a change to your account existing numbers that are being reported to the credit bureaus (which notifies each bureaus of the areas that must be corrected)? A conversion or import software product can not offer your office these required reporting features.
It is very simple, importing or conversions can not possibly perform accurately without you providing required formatted fields of the entire Metro 2® FCRA guidelines in either an ASCII or data base format that will match all of the required fields of the Metro 2® format before you begin importing. Then once imported or converted, how much time for each account will be required to correct all the issues that were not addressed from the conversion or importation of your account data?
You must make an informed decision to weigh all avenues to what would be the most beneficial to your office, your staff hours and your liability. Does the imported file into Metro 2® format meet the new federal consumer credit laws (FACTA and FCRA ) requirements?
If you are required to do all the steps for importing or conversion with follow up for each account, why not write or program the Metro 2® format? Or you may wisely select the option of leasing or purchasing the Metro 2® credit reporting software. We believe reporting consumers' accurate and complete information should be a priority for reporting a consumers' credit history. We have built our 28 year reputation and experience in the credit reporting industry into our Credit Time 2000© Metro 2 credit reporting software package to provide the best and most accurate Metro 2® reporting software on the market.


Save Marinwood-Lucas Valley - our community, our future: When Are Micro-Apartments Just Way Too Micro?
When Are Micro-Apartments Just Way Too Micro?
As I've admitted before, I adore a great tiny home, an apartment or house so amazingly minimalist as to demand ingenuity in how people live, how we design furniture, how we conceive of a place. Tiny homes can be a space for brilliant innovation. They can make those of us just in it for eye candy reconsider what's truly essential in our own living spaces. They can also, on a practical level, help make city living more affordable for many people.
Twenty-two men live in this particular 450-square-foot apartment in the neighborhood of Mong Kok, in cubicles each hardly larger than a single bed, stacked above one another along two narrow passageways that end in a dank toilet and shower room.
Each cupboardlike cubicle has a sliding door, a small television, some shelves and a thin mattress. Most of the men have lived here for months, some for years.
At least 170,000 people in Hong Kong, the Times reports, live in a situation remarkably like this one. These are people so poor in a high-cost city that they can't afford the luxury of standing upright in their own homes.
These kinds of tiny homes have existed for much longer than the current trend of "micro" apartments in American cities, a topic we're set to discuss next week at CityLab, The Atlantic's summit on city-level innovation. The micro apartments leaders in cities like New York are promoting tend to be chic and thoughtfully crafted to feel larger than they really are (and not necessarily all that affordable). The existence of dwellings like these in Hong Kong is a reminder that micro living can just as easily be not adorable at all.
It's a little hard, though, to pinpoint exactly where the tiny home market veers from intriguing to inhumane. Is it at 150 square feet? Is it when you can't afford the bespoke furniture? Certainly you're there when, as the Times describes, people live in "units fenced off with plasterboard or cagelike wire mesh" – features that evoke a zoo more than a residence.
Recently, it seems as if the Internet has been full of tiny homes that are more ambiguous: 100 square-foot living cubes in Japan, this 100 square-foot apartment in Harlem that's "barely bigger than a prison cell." I'm not sure how I feel about those last two examples, but they hardly evoke the same wonder as, say, this little guy.

TOBY FICHELSCHER - BUSTING THE BONGOS
"Busting The Bongos" presents previously unknown tapes with film music and photos from the year 1960, provided from the Berlin archives of Manfred Burzlaff, Hans Jürgen Pohland and Jan George - the lost sounds of "jazz phantom" Tobias "Toby" Fichelscher (1927-1992). Toby belonged to the leading German jazz musicians of the 1950s. As a regular guest he sang and played at the German Jazz Festival and was a two-time poll winner. Through his performances in many Berlin clubs, in legendary venues such as the "Riverboat" high above the Fehrbelliner Platz or the "Eierschale" at the Breitenbachplatz, he helped to make jazz popular again after the war.
Toby performed without fluent English as a blues and jazz singer, scatted and played the bongos in the powerful style of his role model, the Afro-Cuban percussionist Chano Pozo ("On Chano's Track"). Before the Berlin wall was built, he was also known in the local jazz scene as an eccentric "5-finger boogie pianist '. The man regularly appeared in the clubs of Berlin with the band of vibraphonist Manfred Burzlaff. Here, even the young and then-unknown jazz drummer Joe Nay could mainly be heard with Toby Fichelscher and the quintet of Manfred Burzlaff. For the record company Bertelsmann Fichelscher sang some rock 'n' roll songs. In addition a few of his blues and jazz recordings have been released on vinyl EPs by labels like Brunswick and Amiga.
Jazz, especially from Germany, was regarded as "cash poison" at the time, so no label wanted to produce a whole album with Toby. In 1960 the small company "modern art film" produced the semi-documentary film "Tobby" about the life of the Berlin jazz singer Toby Fichelscher - "a film beyond the routine" (press release). Inspired by the revolutions of former Italian and French directors the film shows the existentialist Berlin jazz scene and the real jazz beatnik Toby Fichelscher, "unmasked" and in a Nouvelle Vague style. "I've never seen a movie like Tobby before, a film that reproduces the real atmosphere of Jazz" (Joachim Ernst Berendt in the "Tobby" program booklet).
In addition to the most important music excerpts from Hans Jürgen Pohlands film "Tobby", the compilation also includes the soundtrack to his short film "Schatten" ("Shadows") and tiny soundtracks to his regional cinema commercial for "Max Knaak" ("Fashion trip ") - back then well known as one of Berlin`s finest fashion department stores. All music was performed by Toby Fichelscher (bongos, percussion, vocals) and the "Manfred Burzlaff Quintet", which was only replaced by the house band of the "Riverboat" club, the "Firestone Dixie Jazz Band", for the traditional jazz version of "My First Blues". "On Chano's Track" is already known and the only regular release on this CD and LP, recorded in 1957 at the Amiga Studio in East Berlin and pressed on vinyl EP as well as on the early GDR jazz LP "Traditional Jazz Studio No. 1 ".
About the film "Tobby", produced by Hansjürgen Pohland (with excerpts from the original 1960 press sheet ):
The Berlin singer not only shows his face and devotes his voice to the film, but also provides autobiographical material and its - slightly modified - name as the title: "Tobby" draws his inspiration from personal experiences, from dealing with his two children, from the sounds of waves at the "Wannsee" shore, from a boozy party with the Berlin beatniks or the hollow sound of tapping on an iron tube in a ruin. In short, he is inspired by all that he is confronted with, what he sees and hears. The film depicts two days in the unusual life of the jazz musician. Tobby's music pushes the plot forward, reflecting experiences, moods, even noise. It is Tobby's strongest expression. He has new rhythmic ideas during a musical jam at the "Riverboat" club or while bike riding through Berlin at night. Living in harmony with himself appears more important to him than a high salary as a pop singer. His Afro American friend Charles Francis Conrad tells him, however, to purchase financial independence. But Tobby cannot decide himself. The music he would have to play on this big tour would not be "his" music. He would not have the freedom of improvisation. The reaction of Tobby towards this tempting offer of an agency was only fixed in a comprehensive ten-page treatment. Therefore the cutting was one of the main factors in intensifying the story and paved a new way for "inner monologues" or "consciousness fades". Tobby is not an actor - just as we see him, he lives. That makes the film production very special because the atmosphere could not be established in a studio. The team had to visit Tobby and his friends with the camera in their surroundings, which caused a number of problems for the director and his technicians: the sound had to be recorded together with the pictures, in rooms that were not set up for it, so dubbing was impossible. The team often had to work with a hidden camera, or in the case of music recordings with four cameras at the same time, because jazz as improvisation is not repeatable. All of these things helped to capture the real Tobby and his true jazz feeling.
"A night at the Riverboat" (press cutting from Berlin, 07.10.1960):
Anyhow it was difficult for us to get in, into the crowded "Riverboat" on Fehrbelliner Platz in Berlin. The young people stood in front of the box office in a long line, though it was just half past seven. Surprising to me that there are so many followers of real jazz! This really is something special. I want to say that the "Riverboat" is definitely unique, without concessions or adjustments to the public taste. Bands generally do not play dance music, just because it is Saturday night. This is out of the question for a band leader like Manfred Burzlaff. Formerly in the "Berlin All-Stars", with which he participated at the Frankfurt Jazz Festival in 1958, he was already represented at the Düsseldorf amateur festival with his own band in the autumn of the same year. In 1959 he was hired by a French pianist in Paris, where he played at the "Blue Note" and "Le Chat Qui Peche". In the same places, where Stan Getz, Chet Baker and Bud Powell used to perform. Manfred Burzlaff likes to think back to his time in Paris, where he gained so much professionalism: "The important thing is that there is a response from the audience. I like the evenings at the Riverboat because so many young people love the music of my band. We play in a hard bop style."
Monologue from the film "Tobby" (1960), produced by Hansjürgen Pohland:
"The jazz musician cannot be compared to the professional musician who only recreates the music and tries to interpret the music in the sense of the composer. For the jazz musician existing melodies are just a suggestion for improvisation. The essential element of jazz is creation ... While the interpretive artist puts the musical performance and thus the mastery of the art form in the foreground, the jazz musician has to come up with musical ideas. In second place is the performance that, of course, must be adequate. The affinity with creative artists - such as painters and poets for example - is very high. But like them, he draws from inspiration as an artist, from the non-repeatable influence of the moment. The final result is a very unique music that is not composed, not constructed, but pure expression of emotion. "

Those who celebrate their birthdays in June are very special as they have two gems for their birthstones: the pearl and the alexandrite. The pearl has been used for a long time now, while alexandrite was just discovered recently. This June birthstone is frequently referenced in mythology, history, and even in biblical scriptures.
Pearls have been in existence long before any cut stone has been. Of all the gemstones, the pearl is the most natural. While other gemstones have to be mined from mineral deposits, as well as cut and polished to perfection, the pearl does not have to go through any of these processes. It is at its most beautiful in its most natural state. Its incandescent lustre and iridescence make it a very popular piece of jewellery.
No two pearls are alike, and this unique character is the reason why women all over the world highly favour the June birthstone over the other gemstones. Pearls are available in a variety of colours and sizes, depending on the sea environment they came from. So aside from the milky white colour you would often associate with pearls, you can also have your pick of silver, green, and black pearls, among others.
The pearl is believed to have healing properties that can help relieve people who are suffering from diseases related to the stomach and the heart. It has been said to help purge the body of its toxins and promote a healthy digestive system.
If you are a woman who likes understated and refined elegance, then pearl jewellery is the perfect fit for you. A little black dress would go a long way simply by accessorising it with pearl earrings. An elegant evening dress outfit would be set off with a pearl necklace.
If you are shopping around for jewellery that has a June birthstone, Ice Online Australia is a great place to start. There are many pearl earrings, pearl rings, and pearl necklaces to choose from our online store. You can also take your pick from freshwater pearls, Tahitian pearls, South Sea pearls, and Akoya pearls.
