Chino, CA, May 8, 2017 – Tianma NLT USA, Inc. (TNU) announces the change of its company name (trade name) to "Tianma America, Inc." effective July 1, 2017.
As part of an ongoing effort to strengthen its global brand and position as a leading LCD and display solution supplier, Tianma Microelectronics Co., Ltd., Shenzhen, China, has initiated efforts to standardize company names and logos for its overseas subsidiaries in Japan, the Americas and Europe.
As a result of this change, the companies will be known as Tianma Japan, Ltd. (TMJ), Tianma America, Inc. (TMA), and Tianma Europe GmbH (TME). In addition to the company name change, TMJ, TMA and TME will also share the Tianma logo, and the original NLT logo will no longer be used.
In addition to developing, producing and selling NL branded products, TMJ is also responsible for selling and supporting TM branded products in Japan. TMA and TME will continue to promote, sell and support both the TM and NL branded products.
Over the years, Tianma has considered Japan, the U.S. and South Korea as significant overseas markets. In recent years, with the support of TMJ, TMA and TME, Tianma has been able to establish its technical superiority and significantly expand its customer focused resources to build exceptional business relationships with key partners. This has led Tianma to develop a deeper understanding of its core markets and achieve a higher level of operational efficiency in support of these markets, examples of which include smart phones, tablet PCs, wearables, automotive, instrumentation, industrial, medical, avionic and marine, home automation, ATM and POS.
As part of the commitment to its customers and other stakeholders, Tianma will continue to focus on small and medium size display products and solutions, fully supporting its worldwide subsidiaries in Japan, U.S., Europe, South Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan, committed to providing leading edge technologies, products and superior service to global customers.


An all-star panel of celebrity stylists spoke at the Museum at FIT last night. Moderated by Valerie Steele, the group brought June Ambrose, Mary Alice Stephenson, Freddie Leiba, Kathryn Neale and Irene Albright together to discuss the craft of being stylist.
Do you think this is a glamorous profession? June Ambrose had her own reality show and is famous for transforming grungy hip hop artists to fashion role models. Mary Alice Stephenson's dream closet gets almost as much press as her work with CNN, E! and Harper's Bazaar. Irene Albright has created the looks for characters of many of your favorite movies and now the curator of the Albright fashionlibrary. Freddie Leiba and Kathryn Neale have received accolades throughout their careers for dressing the stars in magazines, red carpet and onscreen.
Glamour? When host Valerie Steele asked the panel to define what being a stylist is, the answers ranged from babysitter, therapist, butler to ringmaster.
Freddie said his stylist beginnings involved picking up pins. Irene said she spent the first 6 months doing nothing but return clothes. June Ambrose started in this industry as a costume maker because she initially did not have the influence to convince designers to lend her clothes. Mary Alice Stephenson stressed the importance of paying your dues; getting an internship and making sure your dream boss understand how you can make their life easier.
Being a stylist is such a broad title in the fashion industry. The panel defined the differences in dressing a celebrity for a red carpet, actors for a movie, a fashion spread in a magazine. June explained that styling a celebrity for a public appearance is about building their personal brand. Mary Alice explained that all stylists are very protective of their clients as they are entrusted with their most intimate details and play therapist to making them look and feel their best.
An editorial spread in a magazine, the models you dress are hired to execute your vision, as opposed to the celebrity promoting themselves. Freddie Leiba described it as the photographer is the conductor of the orchestra and the stylist is there to play and serve the composition.
Irene Albright described dressing actors in a movie as part of creating the character themselves. Every piece should serve some aspect to who the character or person is in the film.
Many of the fans of this panel were here because they had hopes of becoming a designer or stylist themselves. The panel made very clear that it takes a lot of 18 hour days, frustration and rejection, then perseverance just to survive in this business. They were also very supportive, suggesting helpful tips like making yourself available in any free time you have, trading your volunteer services for access to learning, sending direct messages and being yourself.
The best advice I heard to a budding stylist was Mary Alice Stephenson's invitation to help out her wonderful Glam For Good organization. She spoke of an upcoming event at the end of May where underprivileged ladies would get the opportunity to be dressed for the upcoming Met Gala where she could help out. Bringing style and glamour to better the world? Genius.

'The Congress': Movie review
By Elizabeth Weitzman
Robin Wright and Harvey Keitel star in Ari Folman's "The Congress." (Drafthouse)
It's almost painful to watch the immense promise of "The Congress," Ari Folman's spectacularly ambitious experiment, dissipate into nothing.
Folman ("Waltz With Bashir") mixes live action and animation, plays with notions of time and self, satirizes his own industry and gets so meta that his movie turns itself inside out.
Once it does, though, its emptiness is exposed.
"The Congress" is loosely inspired by Stanislaw Lem's 1971 novel, "The Futurological Congress." The mind-bending loop this time begins when we meet desperate actress Robin Wright (Robin Wright, playing a fictionalized version of herself). Once, she was celebrated as the Princess Bride. Now, she's a struggling single mom who has aged out of her industry.
Robin is bullied by both her agent, Al (a stiff Harvey Keitel), and a creepy studio boss named Danny (Danny Huston) into accepting one final job. She sells off the digital rights to herself, allowing Danny's company, Miramount, to upload her image and emotions. Once they own her three-dimensional likeness, they can do whatever they like with it.
Robin Wright plays a fictionalized version of herself in "The Congress." (Drafthouse)
The computerized Robin Wright is made into a younger, sexier movie star for a newly animated world designed to help people escape their miserable realities. The actual Robin Wright eventually gets stuck in the animated universe. She has to fight her way out with help from a fan (voiced by Jon Hamm).
The vividly hallucinatory visual elements, and starkly contrasted dual entities, are undeniably cool. They're also, alas, so ill-conceived as to be meaningless. There's no coherence in either world — or even a reasonable link between the two. Instead, both feel frustratingly half-developed. It's as if Folman spent a fortune on the first draft of a script he wrote while he was high.
His efforts might best be characterized as an admirable disappointment. It's not so hard to imagine that Hollywood would do anything possible to immortalize its moneymakers. And Folman's attempts to make something out of this compelling concept are commendable — even if you'll inevitably find yourself wondering how Spike Jonze or Charlie Kaufman might have better handled the subject matter.
As for Wright, she chooses — or was directed — to take a passive approach, which keeps us at a further remove. We can't connect to her. And there's nothing else in this trippy, shifting vision that's real enough to latch on to.

VIRGIN media has launched a new app that allows customers to download and watch 2,000 TV shows on-the-go.
The free Virgin TV Go app includes channels such as Comedy Central, Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network.
It means that customers can download programmes over wifi, 4g or 3g while in the UK or in any EU country straight to their mobile phone or tablet.
Although, customers need to be wary of data costs and usage allowances to avoid paying more to watch and download programmes.
The telecoms giant has also launched a Virgin TV app, aimed at children aged three to seven, so that parents can download programmes such as Peppa Pig and Paw Patrol.
The apps are available on iOS and Android.
Once a downloaded programme has been started, Virgin TV customers have 48 hours to complete it before it expires.
The full list of channels are: ABC Studios, Cartoon Network, Comedy Central, Crime+Investigation, Food Network, Fox, History, Lifetime, Nickleodeon, Travel Channel, Nat Geo and Syfy.
Exclusive virgin TV box sets include Magic City, Kingdom, Good Behavior and Imposters.
The apps are similar to those offered by other TV subscription services.
Sky Go only allows customers to stream content, they have to pay £5 a month extra to access Sky Go Extra to download programmes.
With the BT TV app you can stream content and download to your TV box as well access catch-up services.
Only a selection of content is available for download on Netflix.
On Saturday, Virgin Media and UKTV resolved a pay dispute which saw its channels, including Dave and Gold, return.
Virgin had initially refused to pay what it called "inflated" fees while UKTV, which is partly owned by the BBC, said it would not accept "drastic" pay cuts.
While another dispute, this time between Virgin Media and ITV meant customers were at risk of losing more popular channels.

← Educate Ourselves Department, MONEY: History and Function of the Federal Reserve OR, quitting money altogether.
In one of the regularly noticeable synchronicities that punctuates my magical life, this morning I read a very interesting article in the current issue of Mountain Astrologer, by Joe Landwehr, "Ceres, Climate Change and the Bardo State," in which he likens this "Cerean" period of time to the Bardo State.
"Are we not in a kind of bardo state now? The old order built on fossil fuels, capitalism, war, and the myth of limitless expansion is dying. The future is uncertain. To be alive on the planet now is to be in a liminal space — between death and rebirth. Could it be that Ceres' promotion to dwarf planet status at this juncture signals her availability as a guide through the bardo state into a more sustainable, more human civilization, more fully integrated into the whole web of life? . . .
More synchronicities: Joe Landwehr used to put out a monthly newsletter to which my husband Jeff subscribed, which is how I discovered Landwehr's wonderful work. This is the first I've seen him surface since. And speaking of Jeff, another article in this same August/September issue of Mountain Astrologer was written by a woman who, judging by her chart, is a near time-twin of Jeff! Ann Whitaker wrote about he "vastness" of the hidden 12th house of the birthchart, something she is very familiar with, given her five planets in Leo in that house. That's when I went on alert, since Jeff's chart, including the 7° Virgo Ascendant, mirrors hers, except that his Moon was in Scorpio, so he was born almost exactly one week later. And, wouldn't you know, I called my book about him, and our life together, This Vast Being. . . . I will contact her, send her the book.
Given that the symbology of Ceres, or Demeter, to the Romans, involves mothering, nurturance, the annual seasonal cycle, and yes, her wandering lost, through a wasteland until she found her power, I feel that Joe Landwehr is right, we are in a Cerean Age, and the more we can not just acknowledge it, but descend deeply into this bardo state, the more regenerative will be our possible resurrection.
Which brings me to a final comment: In the astrology that I noted for the next two weeks, I speak of a the combination of Saturn turning to go direct and Uranus turning to go retrograde as instigating a discordant whirling motion when, if we can just keep communicating (Mercury) we may see our way through to the other side. An image came to me later, that of throwing up our hands and letting it all go — all of it, including our "intentions" for the change to occur in one way or another. Instead, let us trust the power of Mother Earth — of Ceres — to regenerate, reorganize, reconstitute herself and ourself in ways that are way beyond our capacity, way way more fruitful and surprising than any of us can possibly imagine. That's my dream: to let go, to fully enter the unknowing of the Cerean Bardo State, while trusting in the mysterious laws of Nature to revivify all of life — no matter whether or not I am still "alive" in this body.

This is profound wisdom. This essay addresses exactly what many of us are feeling these days. There comes a point, when we have done all that is within our realm of doing, that we must release the outcome and simply be. Truly, this is a most profound point of power. Once again, Ann, you help solidify what I am feeling and place it in beautiful words of realism.

Our energy landscape is changing. Local communities are increasingly taking active roles and emerging as new actors in the energy system. For example, some local energy initiatives own solar panels, wind turbines and energy storage system collectively, while others build renewable energy configurations, together with other energy system actors. Community energy and energy storage may enable effective energy system integration and get maximum benefits of local generation. This may lead to more flexible and resilient energy supply systems, and therefore, can play an important role in achieving renewable energy and climate policy objectives.
This international conference is being organized as a part of the Community Responsible Innovation in Sustainable Energy (CO-RISE) project and is funded through the social responsible innovation program of The Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO-MVI 2016 [313-99-304]).
The aim of this conference is to explore new and innovative socio-technological energy configurations at local and regional level including energy storage.
This conference brings together researchers and practitioners interested in the societal dimensions of technology and the technological aspects of social innovation. The focus is specifically on the field of community renewable energy and energy storage.
The conference will feature four keynote speeches by leading academics in the field of community energy and energy storage.
Dr. Michael Ornetzeder, Institute of Technology Assessment (ITA) of Austrian Academy of Sciences, Vienna, Austria.
In the conference website, you can now submit the topic you would like to present (practitioner) or an abstract of a paper (academic) of max. 300 words. There will also be a poster session, so you can bring a poster of your work. If you would like to do so, please submit an abstract of max. 150 words.
We will explore if there is interest to bundle some of the contributions in a special issue of a peer reviewed journal (journal to be determined).
For more information, please contact h.j.van.der.windt@rug.nl or e.c.j.vanoost@utwente.nl.
The two-day conference takes place at the Energy Academy Europe at the Zernike campus of the University of Groningen. This is an inspiring location for our event as it is the most sustainable education building of the Netherlands. The building is a place where societal partners, education and academia join forces to work on research and innovation in the field of energy. As the building meets the highest sustainable energy standards, it received the BREEAM-rating 'Outstanding'.

We've all received postcards advising us that we're part of a class action. What does that mean in the Lemon Law world?
A great example of a class action case in the Lemon Law setting is currently happening. That case is entitled Vargas v. Ford Motor Company and it is pending in the United States District Court Central District of California – Western Division (this means that it is in federal court).
If you bought a Ford Focus (model years 2012 to 2016) or a Ford Fiesta (model years 2011 to 2016) with a PowerShift Transmission, there's a very high likelihood that your vehicle comes under the class action that is pending in California. Although the case was filed in California, the class includes the above referenced cars that were purchased anywhere in the United States, including the territories.
A class action is essentially a method of bringing a case where a person or persons represents the interests of an entire class or group of individuals. The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, more specifically Rule 23, explain what is necessary to establish a case as a class action.
First, there must be numerous members of the class. The statute doesn't explain exactly how many members it takes to be considered numerous, but many cases have interpreted this. Next, the questions or issues of law or fact have to be common amongst the members. Similarly, the claims of the class representatives must be typical of those of the other class members. There's much more to the concept of a class action, but it's beyond the scope of this post.
If you fall into the definition of a class which has been approved as a class action, then your rights are impacted by the outcome of the class case. For example, in Vargas v. Ford Motor Company, there was a requirement that if you wanted to opt out of the class, you'd need to follow very specific steps to do so on or before September 5, 2017. If you're reading this article, then you are too late to opt out because I wrote it well after the opt-out deadline.
So now, if you have a car that falls within the class definition and you haven't previously opted out of the class, then you are likely part of the class. This means that you will want to know the deadlines, the requirements and the potential outcomes as established by the case.
The best resource that I have seen for information related to this class action can be found at FordTransmissionSettlement.com. I visit that site often so that I can counsel my clients in Michigan and Ohio as their claims related to the class action. The site provides documents, maybe more than you'll want, but reading those documents is a great way to see what is happening and what it takes to achieve an outcome.
Since the opt-out deadline has passed, if you have a vehicle that is part of the class and you follow any procedures, then you will receive what is outlined in the class documents. If you are not satisfied with the settlement or if you believe that your claim has more value, then you may be able to present the claim for arbitration, but again, you better read the case documents on that website to understand the procedure.
Whether a class action is the best way to resolve a dispute is subject to debate and to many differing opinions. For example, in Michigan and Ohio, I have turned away many cases that I otherwise would have handled since the consumer hadn't opted out of the class. My office still looks at these cases to determine whether it makes sense to pursue arbitration.
It's also important to understand the Lemon Law in your state as that will be important to your claim. In Michigan, the Lemon Law appears at Michigan Compiled Law § 257.1401 et. seq. (this means it includes the sections that follow as well).
In Ohio, the law appears at Ohio Revised Code § 1345.71 et. seq. If you live in a different state, then you'd want to know the applicable laws for your state and you should certainly consult with an attorney that is familiar with both the Lemon Law and the requirements of this national class action. In the states that I'm familiar with, a car must be subject to a certain number of warranty repairs within a certain timeframe. There's a lot more to these laws, but that's the important starting point.
I intended for this post to give the purchasers of certain Ford Focus and Ford Fiesta vehicles some insight and understanding about what is happening. The article is not intended to give legal advice for any specific situation as I'd need the facts of the particular claim. In Michigan or Ohio, I'd be happy to speak with consumers that feel that they fit within the class. In other states, I'd encourage you to call an attorney. I have spoken with so many consumers in so many states that have experienced serious problems with these transmissions. You need to know your rights.

Anyone knows why this is not working?

A: Because the  is a tiled map with a RD_New structure you need to let the GeometryService do a DatumTransform on latlng points too when you send them; in my case "Amersfoort_To_WGS_1984_2008_MB". Also I had to set wkid to 108457 and transformForward to false (default).
            var projectParameters:ProjectParameters = new ProjectParameters();
            var datumTransform: DatumTransform = new DatumTransform();
            datumTransform.wkid = 108457;
            datumTransform.wkt = "Amersfoort_To_WGS_1984_2008_MB";
            projectParameters.outSpatialReference = new SpatialReference(28992);
            projectParameters.datumTransform = datumTransform;
            projectParameters.transformForward = false;

Each year, the UN Global Compact publishes a Progress Report which provides an overview of how participating companies are adopting the Ten Principles and taking action to help deliver on the Global Goals. The 2018 Report confirms the extent to which human rights are an essential part of doing business — 92 per cent of survey respondents reported having policies and practices in place on human rights. However, it also reveals clear opportunities for businesses to deepen their efforts to respect and support human rights throughout their supply chains and operations. For example, in 2018, approximately 27 per cent of companies reported performing risk assessments directly linked to human rights, with only 17 per cent conducting impact assessment linked to human rights — both clear entry points for strengthening business engagement in this area.
In this respect, the work done by Global Compact Local Networks is of vital importance. By advancing the mission of the UN Global Compact at the national and regional level, more than 70 Local Networks around the world play a central role in driving the business and human rights agenda on the ground. In 2018, Local Networks have been advocating for business leaders to stand up for human rights, promoting uptake of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and convening human rights-focused CEO Roundtables around the world — from Argentina and Turkey, to Poland and the United States.
It is important to celebrate the progress that has been made, while, at the same time, recognising and addressing the critical human rights challenges that we continue to face today. This report highlights how the UN Global Compact is working with our business participants and other partners to advance human rights, including a compilation of company examples, key resources and relevant activities at the global and local levels. It is our hope that this snapshot inspires others to move from commitment to action, to challenge our ways of doing things and to take up the torch for human rights.

Cichlids: Paler in the face of the enemy Study shows that in a threatening environment, male cichlids delay the development of their striking color
Male cichlids that are constantly threatened by predators grow faster and postpone the full expression of conspicuous breeding coloration for longer. This is shown by a study by biologists from the University of Bonn. Thereby, the animals reduce their risk of becoming prey. However, at the peak of their sexual maturity the animals give up their retarded breeding coloration: Even under risky conditions, they then vie for their potential sexual partners with magnificent colors. The article appears in the journal "The American Naturalist".
The African cichlid Pelvicachromis taeniatus certainly boasts magnificent coloration: In the females, a purple belly and a blue-green shimmering side stripe signal the onset of sexual maturity. The males however garner attention from potential sexual partners with bright orange and yellow shades. The striking coloration (evolutionary biologists also speak of "ornaments") has a significant disadvantage: It also catches the eye of potential predators. Biologists of the research group of Prof. Dr. Theo C.M. Bakker at the Institute of Evolutionary Biology and Animal Ecology at the University of Bonn have therefore investigated how the presence of predators affects the appearance of the fish.
To do so, they raised two groups of fish and observed them over a two-year period. In one of the two groups, they regularly added an extract obtained from conspecifics to the water. "When cichlids fall prey to a predator, alarm substances are released", explains Dr. Denis Meuthen, who has since moved to the University of Saskatchewan in Canada. "These alert other members of the same species of the imminent danger. The fish extract we used also contained such alarm substances."
Body size and paleness as life insurance
In all other aspects, the fish were kept under identical conditions. The researchers then took photographs of the cichlids at six different times during development and compared these with each other. The images revealed some differences between the two groups: The males grew faster in the supposed presence of predators. They also developed larger eyes and the spines of their dorsal fins were longer.
"We assume that the animals reduce their risk of ending up as a predator's meal this way", explains Dr. Timo Thünken. "Predatory fish have more difficulty catching larger prey with spiny fins and have problems swallowing them. Additionally, large eyes may help detect predators faster."
There was also another discovery: At the beginning of their sexual maturity, the males were more discreetly colored than their counterparts from the tank without alarm signals. This too was probably an adaptation to the supposedly increased risk of being eaten.
Surprisingly however, the differences were only present in males. The reason for this may be a consequence of the way of life of this cichlid species: The females deposit their eggs in breeding caves and care for them intensively. The males on the other hand tend to stay outside the caves and defend the surrounding area against rivals and egg predators. "They are therefore far more exposed and more likely to fall prey to an enemy", explains Thünken.
However, courtship coloration development was delayed in males. At approximately one year age, the animals from both groups had the same conspicuous color. "The ornaments are important social signals", explains Meuthen. "Towards one's own sex, conspicuous coloration is a signal of dominance. At the same time it attracts females looking for a mate." In other words: Less conspicuous males may live longer - but they often stay single.
The study was supported by the German Research Foundation (DFG).

BEFORE: When it comes to documentaries on food, you can't get much better than Morgan Spurlock's Super Size Me. From what I know, Food, Inc. will be looking at similar issues but on a much broader scale than just McDonald's. And without the major health risk that Spurlock put himself through.
AFTER: For years now, it's been pretty obvious that the food we all eat is not healthy whatsoever. Even the healthy food isn't all that healthy. Everything is doused in so many chemicals (pesticides, herbicides, growth hormones) that the food is no longer natural; it's manufactured.
Food, Inc. interviews many professionals in the food and farming industries to make the definitive, go-to source for all things food. There is a clear side the filmmakers want you to take; that the multi-national corporations control the entire industry and they are, knowingly, making unhealthy and sometimes deadly food. But the filmmakers do interview members on the other side of the argument (the ones that would participate anyway; most declined to speak). Their reasoning is that in order to feed the massive surge in world population, these new scientific and technological methods are necessary to meet demand.
Super Size Me was a chance to see and end result. "Wow, look how bad eating McDonald's everyday is for you." What Food, Inc. accomplished was making a more informative documentary that dug deep into the where/how parts of the process. Where does everything come from and how have regulations overlooked so many important health aspects of manufacturing food. As a result, Food, Inc. is more effective at showing why you shouldn't buy a lot of the big name food brands as opposed to locally-grown, organic foods.
Maybe if I watch it a couple more times or another equally powerful documentary comes out in a few years I'll actually change what food I eat. But for now, I cannot see myself giving up a wonderful bacon cheeseburger with a heaping pile of greasy fries for a healthier, yet less delicious, meal.

LOS ANGELES – Dec. 11, 2013 – TCW Strategic Income Fund, Inc. (NYSE: TSI) announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly distribution of $0.098 per share. The distribution is payable on Jan. 10, 2014 to shareholders of record on Dec. 31, 2013. It is estimated that the distribution will be from net investment income. The final character of the distribution will be determined as part of the Fund's annual audit.
The Fund also announced today that it will end its managed distribution policy (the "Managed Policy") and implement a net investment income-based distribution policy effective Jan. 1, 2014. The Managed Policy, as originally implemented, provided for quarterly dividends at an annualized rate equal to 7% of the Fund's prior year-end net asset value per share stated in the audited annual report.
At a meeting held on December 9, 2013, the Fund's Board of Directors considered the Managed Policy and a number of factors including, but not limited to, the current level of gains and losses in the portfolio as well as evolving industry practice and current market conditions. The Directors believe that ending the Managed Policy is in the best interest of the shareholders and the Fund.
The new policy has a stated goal of providing dependable, but not assured quarterly distributions out of the Fund's accumulated net investment income and/or other sources, subject to the requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Directors will continue to regularly monitor conditions and circumstances relating to the quarterly distribution of dividends and make such changes as they, in consultation with the Fund's portfolio managers, deem appropriate. Distribution policies are a matter of Board discretion and may be modified or terminated at any time without prior notice.

Lucasraps Celebrates A Landmark On Slide x Ammo Music Video
Lucasraps Celebrates A Landmark On Slide x Ammo Music Video. Its been a month since Lucasraps released new video for his songs "Slide" and "Ammo" off his first album 031 To The World. This project had to be delayed for a long time. The wait, however, has been well worth it, as seen by the body of work. The rapper didn't stop there, he went on and released a video for his song Slide x Ammo which got much positive reaction on online music streams.
The music video got some positive impressions on YouTube and Lucasraps had to call on his fans to celebrate with him the positive reaction towards Slide x Ammo. The rapper shared a screenshot of the video on his Instagram stories expressing how pleased and motivated he is with the amazing support the video has got. "Thank you for 100K!" Now lets get the ball rolling," he wrote.
His new album "031 To The World" contains 11 tracks in total and the songs go into a variety of themes. They're tied together by a powerful musical force that's difficult to ignore. Its clear why his music has reached a wide audience and It has been a great stride for rapper ever since he ventured in the hip hop industry.
The collection of his songs are dedicated to his upbringing from a kid to when he dropped out of school to pursue his musical ambitions. The rapper has signed a deal with Def Jam Recordings, following the likes of Cassper Nyovest and Nasty C who had previously worked with the international label.
Lucasraps has proved to anybody bothers to look that he is someone heading towards the right direction in his hip hop career and deserves all the good things coming his way. The rapper's first glance of mainstream came in 2019 and since then he has captured a large audience along with securing a big selection on Apple Music Up Next South Africa Artist. Here's to many more Lucas!

Ghost Pepper Kimchi: How Much Could You Eat?
Here's the thing about eating competitions: The guy you think is going to win never actually does. In the case of the Second Annual Mama O's Super Spicy Kimchi eating competition, held at the 2012 NYC Cook Out on Governor's Island this Saturday and Sunday, some would-be frontrunners fared worse than others.
Kimchi is a fermented vegetable salad, usually cabbage-based, that's big in Korea and gaining popularity in the states. The heat levels of various kimchi recipes vary, from warm to HOLY HELL GRAB ME A BEER. The kimchi served up by Mama O's? You'd best grab a six-pack. First there was "All Day Jose," who sprinted off stage after a bite, maybe two, to a chorus of boos. Then there was the gent in the gray shirt, stage left in the video who ... well, you'll have to watch to find out.
"I'll let you in on a little secret," said Kheedim Oh, the founder and son of the eponymous Mama O, who conducted cooking demos throughout the day. "I made this batch extra spicy." Oh's wares were available all day long, both individually and atop tacos, hot dogs, and even mixed into a salmon burger at the Blind Tiger Ale House tent. One stand-out: the skirt steak tacos from Richard of Brooklyn's Bar Bruno. A rub of cumin and garlic powder set the steak up nicely for the spicy heat of Oh's Kimchi, which, it should be noted, was dosed with ample amounts of Ghost Pepper, the world's hottest pepper (at least for now).
Also on-site at the event, one of many Governor's Island bacchanals put on by New York's craft brew leader, Jimmy Carbone of Jimmy's No. 43 in the East Village: Zio, an Italian restaurant known for hand-made pastas but here serving up fresh fruit-augmented BBQ (figs with pork belly and honey drizzle; grilled pineapple topped by crispy pork skin; an intense lamb-burger with onion marmalade and goat cheese); High Point Farms, which emerged victorious for a second year in the burger competition; and Sabrett's, the hot dog kings, who supplied cased meats to many of the competitors.


Bedlam is an abandoned asylum that once played host to the 'Disco Death March', but is now an empty hulk. The map overview displays that DJ Scully from the Outbreak character pack performed here; however, the attendance was butchered due to various specimens that now reside within. Scully's decision to join the squad, as based on his biography, may have been a reference to this.
Bedlam is one of the most confusing official maps, so unless you know your way around, it can easily lead you to becoming separated and/or lost. The narrow corridors and overall darkness make it easy for specimens to trap you. However, a skilled player can learn safe routes through the maze and locations good for bottlenecking specimens.
The first is in the basement of the asylum. It is accessed from the room the room that is to the right of the spawn or from the courtyard.
The third is right next to the courtyard; on the ground floor beyond the hallway with the jack-o-lanterns. It can also be accessed from the grey hallways in the center of the asylum.
On the second floor, in the hallways that are dark and red lit. It is accessed from either the second floor of the courtyard or the large stairwell next to the grey areas of the asylum.
Behind the green pool. It is accessed from either the pool area or through the blue area that has a semi-open roof.
Location of the trader in the basement of Bedlam.

Location of the trader next to the ground floor of the courtyard.
Location of the trader on the second floor near the courtyard.
Location of the trader that is behind the green pool.
The least safe areas are the pool, outside in the courtyard with the tree, and the multi-story room with light-blue walls.
Just to the left of the spawn point is an L-shaped corridor. When holding out at the corner, sharpshooters can cover a long corridor in one direction. In the other direction, a shorter corridor leads back to the spawn room, and is ideal for support specialists, firebugs and demos. A medic in the corner can easily heal players in both directions and offer extra firepower when needed.
The walkways that form a square 'gallery' overlooking a garden with a single tree are a good place to defend, if your teammates have enough discipline to finish their business at the trader and get back into position before the wave begins. A firebug can start the weaker specimens burning with a single shot from a Mac-10 as they cross the garden below. One door can be welded, leaving only two entrances to guard, and it remains possible to retreat into a corner if necessary.
Any of the rectangular staircases offer a choke point that is suitable for support specialists. At the top of each staircase is at least one weldable door. In the darker staircases, the shotgun's flashlight helps eliminate visibility problems. One of the staircases is close to the spawn point, another is connected to the courtyard balcony, and the last is left of the trader closest to the tree (when facing the trader from outside).
Demos may be at a disadvantage on their own, as the poor lighting only makes smoke even more of an impediment, and the tight spaces make it harder to avoid self-inflicted damage.
Increasing the gamma setting can improve visibility in the darker areas. Having a support specialist or a sharpshooter using the starting pistol can also provide light for themselves or their teammates.
One tactic is to have your squad on the balcony between a weldable door and the staircase leading up from the outside courtyard. Glassless windows along the wall give vision on two spawn points and the broken balustrade gives you an opportunity to fire on specimens in the courtyard. The narrow passage between the wall and the climbing staircase from the courtyard is a perfect spot for a beserker to hold the line, supported by a medic. The balcony is long enough to allow sharpshooters a decent time to line up headshots, and support specialists and/or commandos can hold the line at the top of the rectangular corner staircase, behind a weldable door.
Sometimes specimens may get stuck in one of the small room spawns located around the courtyard. Players are forced to use grenades or grenade launcher to kill the specimens and proceed to next round. Often Fleshpounds are the most prone to this bug, due to their size.

hiii happy Friday :) sharing some pictures from one of my new favorite places ever.. Philly!
i was in Philly to interview Brandon, and you can read that here. this was my first time in the city and it was so. fun.
not too long ago, i was watching a movie that mentioned the idea that a butterfly's wings could cause a storm thousands of miles away. it got me thinking about just how impactful we are, because i never really think about it much.
it feels like i haven't really done much to create this happiness although it definitely takes effort - you just have to make the decision and then follow it and make decisions that align with that choice.
hi :) so i never really thought i would ever ever everrrr post a blog like this. partially because i don't really take myself that seriously (especially on a public platform), and also because i initially just wanted to keep it light and breezy here.
hi! it's been a while since i've done a favorites post and with the month of February already over (so soon?!), i thought i would round up what i have loved and used the most this month.
happy friday :) these photos are from the other weekend when i still had pink hair.. definitely power-washed that out in a day and a half ha.
oh, sunday morning 💛 hi :) wanted to share this fun little group of photos..
there is nothing better than a cozy sweater or spending the morning with cute pups.. especially when it's super cold and rainy outside.
i'm really not a romantic. happy valentine's day!
i figured today was the perfect day to share this fun little photoset that my friend taylor shot the other day!


As you know, the first U.S. presidential debate of 2016 happened on September 26. We tried to write a pop song about it, but an epic debate deserves an epic song. Please enjoy!
*Note from the band: Please understand our usual videographer was sick this week, so we had to do this ourselves. We believe the video reflects just what politics is: rough and messy and sometimes a little too long for our attention spans.

Q: How do I tell a GUI application to open itself on a particular X11 display port? I have a second X11 display port which is created by VNCServer on startup (vncserver :1 -geometry 1280x800); and I would like to start a GUI-only application on this second display at startup also.
How can I do this?
(the application in question is PS3MediaServer FYI)

A: Most X applications take a -display or --display argument.   Setting the DISPLAY environment variable supported by almost all X applications, since support for it is built into libX11's XOpenDisplay() API.

A: Put this in a script and run it at startup:
#!/bin/sh
DISPLAY=:1.0 ; export DISPLAY
java ...
