Jineteada
Gaucho festival - In Argentina, cowboys are called gauchos. They are a very proud people who guard their flocks in the immensity of the Pampas or at the foothills of the Andes. As they gather at parties, they wear their ceremonial outfit: a wide flat brim hat and a red poncho over a white shirt (Province of Salta, Northwest Argentina). - 1973
The Palitué Ranch - With his horse and his rebenque (a broad leather whip), the Argentine gaucho is similar to the North American cowboy. At the end of spring, he separates the calves from their mothers in order to brand, dehorn and castrate them. (Neuquén Province, Patagonia) - 1976
Guardamonte - The landscapes in Northwest Argentina are more mountainous and the vegetation is harsher than in the pampas. To deal with prickles and thorns, the gaucho equips his horse with a double layer of rigid, resistant leather called guardamonte, which gives him the appearance of a medieval warrior. (Campo Alegre, Province of Salta).
Apart from his horse, the gaucho only possesses that which his belt can carry: an impressive, artfully engraved knife, some money and his own name, so people know who he is. - Estancia La Mimosa - Buenos Aires - Argentina
The gear gauchos use in the Argentinean pampa includes the typical hat, boleadoras or Tres Marias (small balls, fixed to the end of a long leather strip, thrown to hunt rheas), a lasso, a whip, a belt with the indispensable facón (a knife), a stirrup, spurs, and the traditional bombilla (a metal straw used to drink mate tea from a hollowed colocynth pumpkin).
Riding games in North and South America differ only slightly. In Argentina, contests are more strongly linked to everyday life and to Spanish riding games. In the jineteada, the rider attempts to tame a half-wild criollo horse armed with nothing but his rebenque, a whip ending in double leather straps that snap over the animal.
The life of the gauchos is one of hard work, but also one marked by a liking for fun and celebration. Unlike celebrations in the Patagonian pampa, in north-western Argentina women always take part. This has undoubtedly been inherited from times of the Independence War, in which women played an important role. In the picture, Arturo und Marion Fernández are to be seen drinking mate at their finca in Campo Alegre, province of Salta.
Two gauchos from the province of Córdoba try to catch a foal. They have retained some traditional garments of their status. Despite the rapid development of the country, they are and remain the living symbol of Argentina. The gaucho spends most of his existence on the horse, which is his most loyal friend. Rough, brave and strong, the man of the pampas loves freedom above all else. - 1973

The boleadoras were the gaucho's first weapon with which he infallibly forced an ostrich (Ñandú) or a bull to the ground within thirty meters. - 1976
Sheep shearing takes place during the months of December and January, in the heart of the southern summer. The work is carried out in a galpón, a building reserved for this purpose that can be seen in all the estancias. The sheep are led to the galpón by ovejeros on horseback. Each esquilador (shearer) shears about 200 sheep a day. He uses an electric shearer set in motion by a motor which, at the same time, provides light to the property. Twice a year the esquiladores cut the wool around the sheep's eyes. The animals cannot see clearly because of the thickness of their fleece. - 1973
On the estancia "La Margarita" at Lake Viedma, in the province of Santa Cruz, the gauchos set off for the sheep pastures. On horseback, they cover great distances across the steppes of Patagonia. - 1973
Farrier Delphin Rodríguez from Bahía Bustamante (Chubut province) smiles cheerfully, which is not at all the case for all gauchos in the Pampas. Most of them are rough around the edges as a result of their adventurous lives. It often takes a lot of patience to be accepted by the men in a group. However, beneath the tough exterior lies a big heart. Their love of nature and the great outdoors has become legendary. They are completely at one with the special landscape in which they live, and their profession requires people of unusual strength. - 1973
The gaucho spends most of his life on horseback. He watches over the huge herds of sheep in Patagonia. When he rests from his long journeys across the pampas, he devotes himself to handicrafts. He makes admirable leather whips and takes special care in the manufacture of his stirrups, which are an important part of the mount. The horse of Delphin Rodríguez, the farrier in the previous photo, has stirrups decorated with beautifully crafted wooden pieces. - 1973
The estancia is a small town. It includes many different buildings. Sometimes there is even a school, which is attended by the children of the farm workers. This saves the pupils the trip to the next village, which is often dozens of kilometres away. A single teacher teaches the little ones and the big ones. Our picture was taken during the break in the school of the estancia "Palitué" (Neuquén province). Little José Luis Jimenéz, son of a peon, drinks his cup of milk. - 1973
Gauchos from the Palitué estancia (province of Neuquén) go to the corral (cattle park) where all the domestic animals on the estate are kept. They will carry out a strict selection of them. They dedicate themselves to this work whenever they are not called upon to carry out other tasks. But, in one case as in others, the gauchos always travel on horseback, which is their favourite means of transport, very rarely setting foot on land. They carry with them the accessories they need to do their work. - 1973
Cows from the Palitué estancia (province of Neuquén), which have just given birth to their young, are gathered in the corral. The gauchos will soon make their appearance in order to carry out work of the utmost importance. It is a matter of separating the heifers from their mothers, which is not without its difficulties. Then the cows are taken back by the gauchos to their respective pastures where they will eventually gain the necessary weight. To achieve this, they need to be perfectly quiet, hence the cruel necessity to take their offspring away from them. The pastures are chosen for the quality of their grass. Finally, the cows are sent by truck to the slaughterhouses and the meat is kept in the capital's refrigerators. These measures are justified by the fact that Argentines have a predominantly meat diet. But it should also be pointed out that the production and sale of meat abroad is one of the main economic activities of the Argentine nation. - 1973
The gaucho's task is both arduous and dangerous. It is the result of a long tradition which dates back to the beginning of the colonisation of the pampas. It requires skill, patience, endurance and a great deal of security of movement. These essential qualities are put to good use especially when sorting the animals inside the corral. The constant coming and going of the animals is not made to facilitate the movement of the gaucho. In addition, the dust that rises from the corral floor forms clouds in which people and animals seem to get lost. But the gaucho and his horse are one and the same, because they have been used to this kind of exercise for a long time. This agreement also exists between the different gauchos who work in an estancia. The daily task involves a lot of discipline on the part of the men. These conditions must be observed every time the animals are grouped together, taken to the pasture or sorted out. - 1973
The great rivers that run through Patagonia have their source in the Andes. The gradient is gentle, and the watercourses take their time before pouring into the Atlantic Ocean. But in the rainy season, when the storms rage in the peaks of the Cordillera, the rivers swell. Then floods threaten people, animals and crops. The inhabitants of both banks use the many fords as river crossings. The photograph shows a scene that used to be characteristic of life in the pampas, but is becoming increasingly rare today as a result of Argentina's economic development: A herd of four hundred Hereford cattle is being driven through the Río Alumine (Neuquén province) and taken to the next estancia. These transports are increasingly carried out with the help of trucks, at least where bridges allow the rapid crossing of Patagonia's rivers and streams. - 1973
From one province of Argentina to another, the gauchos dress somewhat differently. However, there are essential elements in their clothing and in the accessories they carry with them that can be found everywhere. The photo shows us, seen from behind, a gaucho from the province of Buenos Aires. Tirador or rastra are two words that designate the belt. The belt is often decorated with medals and old coins. The facón (knife), slipped into the belt, is made of chased silver. In other parts of the pampas, however, it is a common kitchen knife. - 1973
Here we are in the estancia known as Villa Maria. This large estate belongs to the province of Buenos Aires. It is the day of the remate, an important event in the life of the Argentinean pampas. The owners of the estancias sell some of their best cattle at public auction. Each participant will then be invited to a big meal. The preparation of this meal is not a simple task, due to the large number of guests who arrive at lunchtime. Meat is included in every meal, both in the country and in the city. A soup was offered to the participants. The empty plates form an impressive heap on the grass of the meadow. Beef quarters were attached to long metal stakes and placed in front of the embers of the fireplace. It is the asado, a typical dish of Argentinean cuisine, which delights tourists as much as the locals. This asado will be accompanied, as it should be, by delicious wines produced in the country. - 1973
The remate is in full swing in the Villa Maria estancia (Buenos Aires province). The event takes place inside a circular enclosure around which all the participants have gathered. The participants did not hesitate to travel several hundred kilometres to get to the remate. Most of them took a small plane to facilitate their travel. The large estates of Patagonia and the pampas are equipped with an airfield. Private planes allow fast connections between the estancias. They also make direct connections possible between the most remote estancias and the nation's capital. During the remate, the horned beasts are sold at public auction. The owners take their animals around the enclosure several times under the critical eye of the participants. The auctioneer leads the sale. He too is a great cattle connoisseur. Bulls are sold by piece or in pairs. In other cases, the owner gets rid of a whole lot of animals. Each remate is a feast, which is accompanied by a meal offered to the guests. - 1973
A gaucho from the Campo Alegre estancia approaches us. He crosses the grassy plain of the province of Salta. The lasso and the guardamontes are made of leather. These last pieces protect the rider's legs from the thorny bushes that grow in this desert region of Argentina. His red woollen poncho shows a black band that was added by the weavers as a sign of mourning at the death of the caudillo Martin Miguel de Güemes, a native of the province of Salta. The bolas are hardly used today because of the accidents they caused, but they are present in the gaucho's saddle. - 1973
June 17th is a big day in the city of Salta. A popular festival celebrates the memory of an almost legendary figure, the popular leader Martin Miguel de Güemes, who died in 1821. Thousands of gauchos parade through the streets of the provincial capital. - 1973
The gauchos of Salta wear a flat hat reminiscent of the headgear of the Andalusians. - 1973
On this chair, a gaucho has laid out his indispensable daily utensils: the chambergo (hat), the bolas, the leather lasso, the riding whip, the facón (knife), the tirador (belt), the stirrups, the bombilla and the mate. - 1973
A capataz of the estancia "La Amalia" (Entre Ríos province) with one of his children. The number of gauchos on the estates is quite large. They are placed under the orders of a supervisor, the capataz, who enjoys the confidence of the owner. - 1973
Night slowly descends on the estancia "La Mimosa" (Entre Ríos province). The moment has come to round up the cows that were separated from their calves a few months earlier. This segregation was done by the cattle farmers to ensure a quiet life for the cows on preferential pastures. The task is difficult, and many gauchos are involved. The same scenes take place on every estancia in the pampas. They show stages in a cycle of important work on which a large part of the national economy depends. - 1973
Hundreds of cattle have been brought by the gauchos from their pastures to the estancia. They are then loaded onto trucks bound for Liniers in Buenos Aires. Cows from almost all Argentine provinces can be seen at this assembly point. The herds pass in front of the experts in dense rows. You can recognise representatives of the Hereford, Shorthorn, Aberdeen Angus, Holando and Cruza breeds. An estimated 15 000 to 18 000 head of cattle are sold every day. - 1973
Folk festival of the doma at the headquarters of the Palermo agricultural cooperative (Buenos Aires). On Saturdays and Sundays, gauchos from the province and nearby areas come to produce in front of an enthusiastic crowd. The doma is a kind of rodeo. The rider wants to stay in the saddle as long as possible. The horse is blindfolded until the moment it is released. It makes every effort to throw the rider off. - 1973

Clear, bay or chestnut, Argentinian horses are generally of the "Criolla" breed, descendants of horses of Berber origin, which the first Spanish conquerors brought with them and which pushed into the wild in the vastness of the pampas.

In Salta in northwest Argentina, the Spanish colonial style is still omnipresent, even though one of the decisive movements of the Argentine War of Liberation, the Gaucho Uprising, broke out here around 1810. Martin Miguel de Güemes, the leader of the rebellious gauchos, lives on in all hearts here, and the anniversary of his death (17 June 1821) sees all the gauchos of the surrounding area in red poncho (with the black ribbon of mourning), adventurously deformed sombrero and sweeping guardamontes. - 1973

Less formal, but even more daring, are the games in southern Brazil, at Bagé in the Rio Grande do Sul, when an unruly wildling is to be ridden in a kind of rodeo, after which the blindfold is removed. The performance is commented on by fellow competitors and onlookers in a way that is as detailed as it is knowledgeable. - 1976

In San Antonio de Areco in the province of Buenos Aires, the big jineteadas (rodeos) on Tradition Day attract estancieros and gauchos from all over the province. The competitions are mainly attended by professional horsemen or domadores, who wear leather spurs and "botas de potro", boots made from the skin of the horse's foot. The movements of horse and rider are as acrobatic as they are elegant; falls are frequent and shrewd horses throw themselves to the ground as soon as they mount (picture). The most dangerous game is forbidden today: It involved jumping down from the crossbar of a corral gate onto an unsaddled wild horse, the lead animal of a herd that was being chased through the gate at a gallop. Those who missed were lucky to escape with a few broken bones. - 1975

Most auto manufacturers call their traditional truck body -- with front seats and not much space behind them -- a Regular Cab. From there, terminology veers off, with each automaker choosing a name to describe its varied truck bodies.
The naming system for individual models gets more complicated and changes fairly often as new trucks are introduced. You'll also see terms such as SE, LE, XLT -- and endless others -- used to describe options packages and trim levels.

The Getty Acquires the LACE Archive
The Getty Research Institute (GRI) has acquired the archive of Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions (LACE), the longest running contemporary artists' space in Los Angeles. The LACE Records, 1978 to today, covers the first four decades of exhibitions and programs at the institution; future records of the active contemporary art site will be added to the GRI's collection.
The LACE Records include photography, ephemera, correspondence from artists, promotional materials, video documentation of events and performance, and other records. The archive will ultimately be cataloged and digitized by the GRI and made available to researchers.
Click here to read the press release from The Getty.
Join LACE tonight for the opening reception of The Archival Impulse: 40 Years at LACE
2018 marks the 40th Anniversary of LACE, which is presenting the exhibition The Archival Impulse: 40 Years at LACE, curated by Matias Viegener, with exhibition design by Jeff Cain, opening in LACE's Project Room on March 15, 2018 from 7-10PM, and will be on view through the end of the year.
The Archival Impulse: 40 Years at LACE is a Project Room installation that pulls from material found in LACE's archive that either highlights or disputes our conceptions of LACE's history. Accumulated over 40 years, it has no organizing system beyond what LACE staff considered worth saving. It enfolds many stories about the space, less woven than overlaid and amassed. This exhibition is a conversation about our expectations of the archive and the things we expect to find, contrasted against the material that does find its way in. This is particularly poignant in the case of an archive that accumulates rather than is curated over time, yielding space for a kind of counter-curation.
Includes video works curated by Anne Bray featuring: Reza Abdoh, Skip Arnold, Fu-Ding Cheng, Jeanne Finley, Doug Henry, Cheng-Sim Lim, Susan Mogul, Eric Saks, Jim Shaw, and more.
Celebrate with LACE and take home a piece of ephemera! Check back for activities connected with the Archive throughout the year.

Mobiles Features
Five Useful Smartphone Features That Time Forgot
By Rohan Naravane | Updated: 23 November 2016 16:33 IST
Smartphones are evolving rapidly and features come and go
Sometimes really useful features don't catch on with enough people
Other features might be dropped due to design or cost constraints
People complain about the lack of innovation in smartphones today, with manufacturers tending to rely on bumped specs to sell their product instead of truly useful features. The fact is that over the years there have been a lot of interesting experiments in smartphones, but many of these - even the useful ones - don't always catch on. Sometimes the features we loved have disappeared because they were useful only to some, not many, users. At other times, design or cost constraints forced these features out. Here are some of our favourite features that have either disappeared, or are on their way out.
1) IR blaster on flagship Android phones
You know what's common between the Xiaomi Mi5s, the Galaxy S7, Galaxy Note 5 and the HTC 10? They're all flagships that don't have an IR blaster, although the previous generation phones all did.
Infrared on mobile phones isn't new; many phones in the early 2000s had Infrared ports to transfer contacts and other data from one phone to another. But that was before faster, easier-to-use mediums like Bluetooth and Wi-Fi were brought on board. Infrared on phones made a re-entry in the form of an IR blaster, which when paired with supporting software, converted a phone into a universal remote.
Any electronic device that is controlled using a typical IR remote - televisions, set top boxes, music systems, air conditioners, etc - could be potentially controlled using a phone. Infrared blasters on some phones could also read and emulate codes of any IR remote, so after a little effort, you could practically configure any button of any remote on the planet.
It was a feature that most flagship smartphones picked up, but today we're seeing less and less of this feature, especially in the high-end spectrum of smartphones. A fair share of mid-range smartphones still have an IR blaster though. Maybe some parallels can be drawn between this and the lack of FM radio on high-end phones, while still being present in the low-end.
2) FM Transmitter
Speaking of FM, Nokia fans may remember this feature on many an N-series phone, such as the Nokia N86: an FM Transmitter lets you wirelessly beam audio playing on the phone to any FM receiver. It was simple to use too - just set a frequency that doesn't overlap with the radio stations, and keep the phone close to the receiver or the antenna. This feature was very useful if your car audio system didn't have Bluetooth, or an AUX port.
There were however a few concerns with the setup - for one, it wasn't secure, as anyone could tune into your frequency. Second, the output clarity largely depended on how far the phone was from the receiver. Finally, there apparently were also some government restrictions on the usage of FM transmitters in some countries, including India. With other technologies such as Bluetooth picking up, this feature got shelved soon enough.
3) Thermometer
The Nokia 5210 was a rugged phone released in 2002, and it had an interesting feature - a thermometer - using which the phone could show the temperature around you. After being MIA for decades, thermometers in smartphones again got some attention in 2013 with the Samsung Galaxy S4 featuring one, which showed ambient temperature in the built-in S-Health app. But this feature is going through another lull; perhaps never to be seen again.
There are an endless number of weather apps, but none of them can tell you the ambient temperature around you. Although knowing the weather conditions outside is useful, it is also nice to what the actual temperature around you is. There is a theory suggesting why a thermometer isn't the commonly-seen sensor on smartphones - it is difficult to get an accurate reading of your surroundings thanks to heat smartphones themselves generate.
Nonetheless, it would've been nice-to-have feature in any smartphone today. For what it's worth, a hardware startup called Thermodo sells a subtly-designed thermometer that plugs into your phone's 3.5mm headphone jack.
4) Xenon Flash
This is a popular feature seen on 'camera phones' from a decade before - such as the Sony Ericsson K800 or the Nokia N82. This trend continued in the past few years with more camera-focused phones such as the Lumia 1020. But off late, it appears that Xenon flash isn't really on the top priority of phones.
What's so good about a xenon flash, you ask? The high-intensity flash can illuminate dark environments far more than a typical LED flash would, especially when the subject isn't very close to the sensor. It sounds great, but there were a couple of drawbacks. For one, xenon flashes can't fire in quick succession, proving not as useful in burst shots. LED Flashes are cheaper to implement, and consume less battery. Next, low-light photography in today's smartphones that have a big aperture, and features like optical image stabilisation help capture images more accurately in dark situations, that many find preferable to the blinding strobe of a Xenon flash.
5) 3.5mm headphone jack
A heated topic since the launch of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, people tend to forget that it was the LeEco Le 2 and the Moto Z that dropped support for the revered standard before the iPhone did this year. Some might suggest that the move was pre-emptive decision following strong rumours of Apple doing so later in the year. There's seems to be no stopping the no-3.5mm-jack train now, as new phones such as the HTC Bolt don't have it either, and there are rumours that the Samsung Galaxy S8 will also not have one. By the looks of it, it's very probable that the days of this universal audio standard are numbered.
Apple claims that the jack had to be removed to make more space in the phone, for improved optics and battery capacity. Still, the 3.5mm jack removal is a bitter pill to swallow, and another problem is that it makes moving from one eco-system to another more difficult. Earphones that connect to the Apple's Lightning port will be rendered useless if you move to Android, and vice versa, without a series of connectors.
There you have it. So, which useful feature that's been deprecated now do you miss? Let us know via the comments below.

Hey everyone, blackrose here. Just wanted to say hi to everyone and thank you guys for all your help, advice and tips and also thank you to the creator of this site as we would not be here had it not been for them. Take care and all the best troopers.
Thanks, blackrose! We're glad to help wherever we can!
We are also glad to have you around.
Hi blackrose. I am new here myself. I am learning as well. You will see me post in the forum a lot because I always have a lot to say .


It isn't summer yet but notice how hot it is lately? Well, as a makeup artist, I always pray for sunny weather (for my clients to have a hassle-free event) since I have a number of weddings scheduled until December.
Orange/Coral-Toned clothes are usually my peg lately. Anything that looks cool, bright and happy to help set a positive mood for everyone I encounter. Outfit really helps sometimes right?

I've been wanting to share you another nice place I've been to weeks ago. But unfortunately, I forgot to charge my camera that day :( At last, the official photos from the couple's wedding photographer, DB Phos, were posted already.
The place I'm talking about is Pinto Art Gallery in Antipolo. I was lucky enough to do hair and makeup for a prenup photoshoot there.
Why I like the place?
They have room where couple can rest and change clothes with bathroom. It's also spacious enough for hair and makeup.

From this post and the coming weeks, I'll be working with a campaign named "Truth Seeker". It aims to clarify the common misconceptions about acne and skin care and I'll be sharing with you my own skin dilemmas and experiences to help people suffering from the same things be more informed.
My skin problems started during my puberty stage. But it's a common things as most of us underwent that stage. But come late 20's I still get a few imperfections. Those that are on the face aren't noticeable as I usually get tiny pimples or "tigidig" in Tagalog. Lucky me huh? And people don't even notice the pimple scars because I always conceal them everytime I go out.
However, you won't see me wearing backless or even sleeveless tops that show some back skin. It's not that I'm conservative. But I'm ashamed of how ugly my back is. Yes, those dreaded little dots piled up on my back then.
I tried almost anything possible. I've become obsessed with cleanliness especially on my body because we all know that hygiene is one of the major culprit of skin problems. I don't touch my skin without washing my hands or putting alcohol. I tried not to stress myself with bad things happening around me. I tried eating healthy and sleeping at least 8 hours a day.
After all the natural things I did in order to clear my backne, I wondered why I still have it. It lessened a bit but I still have it. It can be very frustrating. But I guess it's really on our genes because I wasn't the only one having that problem in our family. During that time, all of my siblings (except for my only brother, lucky you!) and some of my cousins are suffering from backne too.
The good news is we're in the modern world already and there's a cure for almost every ailment people have. Just because you inherited that skin condition doesn't mean you can't do something about it. So I tried visiting my dermatologist and having my back cleaned regularly, exfoliation and acne treatment creams. I followed my derma's instructions strictly and applied my treatment religously. I tell you diligence and patience is the key when treating skin problems.
I was trying to find a photo of my back when I had that problem before but I guess I was too shy for people to know I have ugly back then. It's always covered haha. Now I still do not have a smooth back because it comes back once in a while but I'm not ashamed of it anymore. Look, I even wore a tube on my wedding day. I'm glad my perseverance paid off.
Will tell you more of my backne and skin story soon!

Sonia Gomes
The Silence of Color
Exhibition views
To artist page
Back to all exhibitions
Mendes Wood DM has the pleasure to announce The Silence of Color, Sonia Gomes' first solo exhibition outside of Brazil. Gomes' work binds together cultural movements and traditions that are intrinsically linked to the affirmation of memory, identity and the transformative power of creation in situations of vulnerability and invisibility. Through the use of fabric, thread, found and gifted objects, her multi-dimensional, sometimes biomorphic sculptures and structures stand as insistent placeholders for the absent or unseen body. These gestural inquiries refer to the body itself, as a way to decolonize the past and reclaim the present to reconstitute and celebrate both the self and her black heritage.
In part, Gomes' connection to the world of fabric stems back to her birthplace, Caetanópolis - a city located near the capital of Minas Gerais, which was once an important center for textile manufacturing in Brazil. With her father's family working in a textile factory and the strong presence of her maternal grandmother, a midwife and faith healer who initiated her in binding and braiding, Gomes' upbringing was heavily marked by the craft of needlework. Since childhood, Gomes has collected pieces of cloth; marrying them with different materials from various environments, including clothes and furniture. Playing with the potential spiritual combinations that may arise between these elements, her compositions spring to life through a spontaneous and casual practice of deconstructing and re-assembling objects that together evoke the idea of the visceral and the sacred. Through this intuitive process, Gomes honors the previous history and agency of the objects, creating eclectic compositions that are imbued with the rich history of Brazil, as well as the personal history of the artist, her family and her community.
The Silence of Color traces the trajectory of Gomes' recent practice, showcasing colorful works from her latest institutional exhibitions in Brazil, Still I Rise at MASP (São Paulo, 2018) and Casa de Vidro (São Paulo, 2018), as well as a body of new works, from which this exhibition derives its title. Inspired by her work Maria dos Anjos (2017-2018), which Gomes made from pieces of a wedding dress that were sewn together with seams, moorings and various other fabrics, this new series of work marks the first in which white fabric is predominately incorporated. Despite using a wide and varied palette across her practice, the color white posed a challenge for Gomes - namely in that she viewed it as synonymous with silence. After bringing Maria dos Anjos to completion, Gomes decided on a hiatus from working with color in order to explore her aversion to using white fabric.
The result of the artist's first exploration into work devoid of color, an experience she describes as particularly useful, are four new works. Continuing to employ a similar medium and form, Gomes honors the previous existence and historical legacy that is imbued in the fabric, whilst simultaneously exposing new and vibrant forms of existence in their (re)configuration.

THE VAULT: Prince's Greatest Gift to his Fans
It's quickly becoming evident, from the discussions with Michael Howe and Troy Carter, that the contents of the Vault are insanely rich and varied...
...and DEEP...
Even beyond the hopes and dreams of Prince's mega fan base.
What we are getting now are about one Deluxe edition releases of Prince albums, each with ~10 unrealeased/Vault tracks...as well as albums like ORGINALS, with 12-15 new/unrealsed versions of already released tracks.
We still have Deluxe versions of such albums as FOR YOU, PRINCE, DIRTY MIND, CONTROVERSY, PARADE, SOTT, LOVESEXY, D&Ps, TGE, etc., to look forward to.
We haven't even scratched the surface, either, of his live shows, aftershows, sound checks, etc.
Just this week, in reading THE BEAUTIFUL ONES (BUY IT, YA'LL!), that even now there are songs we didn't know about. Songs like BODYFREEZE from the FOR YOU sessions...and I JUST WANNA BE RICH from the PURPLE RAIN sessions???
Given Prince's obsessive, careful nature, HE KEPT and CURATED EVERYTHING.
The book shows this...
His entire career. 1973 through 2016.
We, his fans, and the general public, can look forward to spending decades learning and discovering more and more about this amazing and unique and dazzling person...

You are right on the money. His surviving musical legacy will potentially be unparalleled.
"Prince kept everything"
That's why Bold Generation and his vocal tracks for associate songs are all sourced from cassette, right?
Free the music, fire Michael Howe

Prince did keep everything!
What he didn't keep were raw, unfinished versions of songs..
Example: Bold Generation. He worked and tinkered on it, and "recorded over it", until it became it's final vwersion- NEW POWER GENERATION.
The earlier incarnations became what it eventually became....but Prince kept it!

I think you need to go do a little reading...
"Bold Generation" is the only one on "1999 Deluxe" that they had to source from cassette... Pretty amazing for the age of everything that they could source everything else from 2,1/2, & 1/4 inch tapes (or at least source good reference mixes from those tape sizes, I believe everything was remixed from 2" tapes).
Same case with "Originals". Only real problem there, quality-wise, was an accidentally compressed version of "Wouldn't U Love To Love Me", an issue which likely occurred during the mastering process. That could've occurred due to it being partially sourced from cassette (but some creative editing to bring out the sound revealed it's still actually good quality). Otherwise, that compilation was all from 2" tapes and an original 1991 mixdown for "Love...Thy Will Be Done".
Also, next time, broaden your response for a line like "Prince kept everything"... Take soladeo1's post as a good hint why to do that next time.
[Edited 10/31/19 12:27pm]
usually known as "Leaped7689"
It is pretty clear from the cinematic remix that Nothing Compares 2 U was not from a cassette.
It is pretty clear You're My Love is not from a cassette.
Love Thy Will Be Done, Make-Up, Baby You're A Trip.
Manic Monday is from a cassette. Wouldn't U Love 2 Love Me is from a cassette. 100 MPH is from a cassette.
The rest is not and the estate has had their bluff on that called before - they answered it by releasing that remix.
Edit: See post above mine for a better (ie accurate) response.
TheFman
Nothing at all is evident. To me, I still think there's almost nothing left in the vault of new songs. I didnt get any prove of the opposite. Or do you call a (small) handful of new songs in those years 'evidence of abundance'??
People act like Prince was a grand archivist when the reality was he was a hoarder of things, in the literal sense - look at the police photos of Paisley, and was creating music quicker than he could properly store it.
Shows and soundchecks were recorded for his personal critique then stored. Hard drives, tape boxes and USB sticks were scattered all over Paisley. (Who else laughed when they saw random Larry Graham tape boxes from the early 2000s in Studio B?) Who knows what non-climate controlled warehouse he jammed those thousands of cassette tapes in.
Before the vault was created, he was taping over cassettes and giving them away. Original vocal tracks were, more often than not, discarded when songs were given away. There's reports of him destroying stuff or ordering the destruction of certain works in his later life. (Notice how photos of Owen were missing from his scrap book in The Beautiful Ones memoir? That should give you a clue.)
Yes, there's a ton of stuff in the vault because he created a metric ton of stuff. The condition of those items has yet to be seen.
Michael Howe has been open with the fact of them having to frankenstein things back together, in a respectful manner, or having to use less than perfect sources because they're the only ones that exist.
Let the Estate "call my bluff" by releasing one of the later From The Soundboard or Eye Record soundboards without the very noticeable tape damage.
What does that have to do with you saying these releases are sources from cassettes?

LoveGalore said: Actually true. He recorded over all of that.
Why, some more knowledgeable people on this said that that remix was done in the 90's for Girl 6 for either in the movie or on the soundtrack, so it could easily have come from a cassette.
JorisE73 said:
What do you think Prince would've used to make that remix? And is your suggestion that between then and now, he somehow lost all trace of the song except for these cassette copies? If they really wanted to use cassette copies, they could've used the one that was leaked beforehand. Stop the madness.
Reply #13 posted 11/01/19 12:43pm
Vocal tracks, people. Not the entire song.
(Although he did record over the Bold Generation master when he made New Power Generation)
Could be. I remember reading that some engineer of his said that he erased teh multi's or master of Sexy MF so if that is true he could have erased a lot more and maybe NC2U to, so who knows.
mnfriend
Did he erase the master of 'Sexy MF' because he knew it is absolutely already perfected? love that tune.
okay, .02 cents from the peanut gallery:
Prince was not a 'hoarder' to call him that conjures the image of the reality TV sad people buried in their homes etc etc
Please. Prince was clean, immaculate organized sharp.
In my opinion, the reason he did not 'burn or destroy' things in the vault if he truly did not want them released as is:
If you've ever been broke, not born into money but literally needed to work any job you could get because you needed money,
to have a locked vault of 'stuff' you could sell if you needed to, just in case. I'm sitting on a safe of bonds. I don't know the value of the bonds until I need to sell them, but it'll be money.
Lastly,
Jimmy Jam Terry Lewis the blues brothers disguised Jimmy says right here he offered to produce what's in the vault, and Prince nodded yes.

Q: restart stream after closing it by forEach(function(track) {track.stop();} myVideoStream.getTracks().forEach(function(track) {
  track.stop();
}

how to restart the stream tracks after closing all the tracks.
or any alternate method for turning on and turning off camera in video streaming app(like turn on turn off video button in google meet)

A: The documentation at MDN says the following about stopping the tracks.

Calling stop() tells the user agent that the track's source—whatever that source may be, including files, network streams, or a local camera or microphone—is no longer needed by the MediaStreamTrack. Since multiple tracks may use the same source (for example, if two tabs are using the device's microphone), the source itself isn't necessarily immediately stopped. It is instead disassociated from the track and the track object is stopped. Once no media tracks are using the source, the source may actually be completely stopped.

So that means that you have to restart the stream by creating a new one, because the media has completely stopped running.

A: I had the same problem, I solved it by using track.enable = false to mute, and using track.enable = true to reactivate, only it is necessary to save the original track in an independent variable before muting and using the track of this variable independent to reactivate, remembering that when reactivating it is necessary to use track.enable = true.
Hope this helps.

Q: What is the proper way for handling tasks for a Queue? What is the proper way to handle tasks when a Case belongs to a Queue?
In my scenario I would have Dept#1User creating a case which kicks off a workflow and updates the owner of the case to the queue Dept#2.  I would also have a task created for someone in Dept#2 to do to process the case...
However in my tests I have found:

*

*Tasks can only belong to users, not queues

If the assignee of a task is set to the record owner and the owner of a lead or case is a queue, the task is assigned to the person who triggered the rule.

*

*Tasks can belong to Roles but Salesforce advise not to assign Tasks to Roles with multiple users:

If the assignee of a workflow task is a role and more than one user belongs to that role, the record owner becomes the task assignee, regardless of their role. We recommend that you not assign tasks to roles with multiple users. Assigning tasks to roles with one user allows you to easily change the user in that role without modifying the workflow rule.

So my question is this,  when users in a department create a Case I need to change the Case Owner to a Queue (for the 2nd department) and then assign tasks to a group of users in this 2nd department (essentially 1 of a team can pick the case up)?
I feel I am missing a basic Case concept...

A: First of all, the feature Tasks to a Queue doesn't exist. But there is a highly voted on Idea that you should upvote
In the comments thread, there is a workaround that you could consider:

We added a role that reports up to the role(s) that respond to tasks,
  and put a dummy Customer Service user into that role. New tasks are
  assigned to this dummy user, and it acts as a queue. As a higher-up, a
  customer service rep can reassign the tasks from the dummy user to
  themselves, or if you are a manager, to others.
Alternately, you can
  create sharing rules that explicitly grant access to the objects the
  distributed tasks will be associated with. People are notified of
  incoming activity/new tasks because the dummy user's email is set to
  something like customer_service@mycompany.com. Folks on the email list
  respond appropriately. You could also automate it with a workflow rule
  that emails a specific group upon task creation. This requires a spare
  license and of course, YMMV. Hope this is helpful!

The Buffalo Bill Wild West Show set (ACC # N143) was produced by the American Tobacco Company for the Honest Long Cut brand. Since this would be after the Duke merger that formed the ATC, this set was probably produced in the early 1890s.
The set itself was a premium obtained by mail, although the die-cut pieces may also have been inserted into packs of Honest Long Cut as some have been seen with ad information stamped on the backs. The complete premium package consists of 38 die-cut cards, 6 "Act" cards, a program and a "stage" or base piece that the die-cuts fit into via tabs.
The die-cuts were either numbered or lettered to correspond to their placement on the base. The checklist below is numbered sequentially with the die-cut's actual designation shown in parentheses.
The Duke Sports Celebrities set (ACC# 142) is rare, sports related, and very valuable. The is an unnumbered set made up of only seven cards, four baseball players and three cyclists. These are large format cabinet cards, roughly 6 x 9 inches. The Honest Long Cut brand is advertised at the bottom left on the fronts and the backs are blank.
The Duke Gems Of Beauty set was basically released twice, once with the Honest Long Cut brand and once with the Fair Play Long Cut brand. The set itself consists of 25 cards, unnumbered and with no official checklist. The fronts of the two issues are essentially the same with some small differences in the borders on the fronts and the primary difference being the backs – the N111 issue has an ad for Honest Long Cut, while the N141 issue promotes the Fair Play brand. Both issues were released around 1890.
The fronts of the cards show bust-length images of women with pastel backgrounds. The checklist below gives a brief description of the pictured woman on each card.
The Duke N140 Yacht Club Colors Of The World set is a re-issue of the N91 set in a larger format. The sets have the same 50 card checklist and are unnumbered. The fronts show the same image from the N91 set with one of five different nautical border designs. The designs have been found in three colors, blue, gray and gold. The backs show an unsorted checklist for the set.
This set was issued around 1890 and were packed in the Honest Long Cut brand.
The Duke Types Of Vessels set consists of 25 die-cut cards. This is a popular set that is hard to find in great condition (as is generally the case with die-cuts). The backs can have the "Honest Long Cut" text printed in either green or blue. Knapp is the lithographer of the green backs and Giles is the lithographer of the blue backs.
This set was issued around 1889 and were packed in the Honest Long Cut brand.
Here's the checklist for the Duke Tricks With Cards set (ACC# N138). This is also a tough set to find, most likely because it was (and still isn't) a very popular set. The fronts describe a particular card trick and the backs give details on how to perform the trick. The trick descriptions on the back correspond to tricks other than the one shown on the front, for instance card #10 Sympathetic Cards has the description for the trick shown on card # 3 on the back.
The set consists of an unusual amount of 24 numbered cards. They were packed in the Honest Long Cut brand.

McKenna was a partner of Woods in two strip clubs in Los Angeles, The Bare Elegance and The New Jet Strip.  After the film was made the detectives started to question associates of the two when it was realized that much of the plot of the film was based around the murder of McKenna.

During the 2001 trial Amos would give testimony against Woods in exchange for a lighter sentence.

Top 10 Top Lists
Opening songs are so important – they set the tone of the anime and are a great opportunity to get stuck in our heads. Now with streaming services, they tend to offer a 'skip intro' feature so we can get straight into the episodes! I'll admit that if I'm bingeing a series, I will skip the intro if I'm not feeling the song, so first impressions are everything for me.
Below are my top 10 favourite anime opening songs that I absolutely cannot skip.
10. The Hero!! Set Fire to the Furious Fist - One Punch Man
The Hero!! Set Fire to the Furious Fist by JAM Project. It really is an epic song.
I don't know how, but by the 0:40 second mark, when the music changes up, I AM READY AND PUMPED TO PUNCH THINGS. Don't question it, just go with it.
9. Guren no Yumiya - Attack on Titan (Season 1)
Guren no Yumiya by Linked Horizon. A badass song for a badass series - I feel like I don't really need to say much more than that.
8. Flyers - Death Parade
Flyers by Bradio is so catchy. The opening to the song reminds me of something from an old-school crime show. It's such a fun song, and really makes you think that the show is going to be a dark comedy of some friends that run a bar... different from the psychological thriller that the series really is.
Boom boom boom dancing through the skies... try getting that out of your heads
7. Renegade - Gangsta.
Renegade by Stereo Drive Foundation (SDF). SDF is the side project of electronic musician and producer R.O.N, AKA Iida Ryuta... he has a lot of names, and is responsible quite a few different anime openings.
As you could probably tell from the opening video, this anime is for adults. This song has a perfectly dirty, electronic vibe - a killer opening for a great series.
6. Abnormalize - Psycho Pass (Season 1)
Abnormalize by Japanese rock band Ling Tosite Sigure. Hauntingly beautiful.
This song has a grunginess to it that suits the cyberpunk thriller series. It's dark, moody and edgy in the best possibly way. It was the first opening song for the series before it was changed to Out of Control by Nothing's Carved In Stone.
5. Goya no machiawase - Noragami (Season 1)
Goya no Machiawase (or the english title - Overnight Appointment) by Hello Sleepwalkers. What song could be better for a God in a tracksuit? None. This is the song.
What an absolute banger. This song just makes you want to boogie.
4. Strider's High - Prince of Stride: Alternative
Strider's High by OxT - this song brings the energetic rock energy that is needed for an extreme sport anime. It's just fun, and with all the bright colours, it's the perfect blend and sets the tone.
I think this song (and the anime series TBH) should get more recognition.
3. For Fruits Basket - Fruits Basket (2001)
For Frutis Basket was originally by Ritsuko Okazaki, but this english version by Meredit McCoy gets me. Both versions are incredible and catchy in their own gentle way, but with the english version, I can atleast attempt to sing along.
From that first note, it hits me right in the feels. Seriously, please get me the tissues
2. Unravel - Tokyo Ghoul (Season 1)
Think the voice sounds familiar? That's because it is! Unravel by Toru (TK) Kitajima - this song is by the singer of the band Ling Tosite Sigure whose song is sixth on our list. He has a very unique sound, and it really sets the haunting tone for those incredible thriller series.
Seriously though, all of it - the guitar, the piano, the drums, the bass, the violin. Amazing.
1. History Maker - Yuri!!! on ICE
History Maker by Dean Fujioka is absolute perfection. They couldn't have made a better opening if they tried - it's so uplifting and whimsical. The lyrics are inspiring, and damn, the visuals + song combo just makes me unbelievably happy.
I always put this song on repeat - it's simply not possible for me to listen to it only once. Go on, turn the volume up, because...
WE WERE BORN TO MAKE HISTORRRRRY!
Do you agree with my top 10? Make sure you comment below your favourite opening songs.

Black Thought Says He's Often Mistaken for Rick Ross: 'I'd Rather Not Correct Them'
Trent Fitzgerald Published: May 31, 2018
Nicholas Hunt / Dimitrios Kambouris, Getty Images
Black Thought is arguably one of the best lyricists in hip-hop, and he's currently basking in the spotlight following his phenomenal freestyle performance on Funkmaster Flex's #Freestyle series. His popularity has grown so much that people often mistake him for another prominent rapper -- Rick Ross.
In an interview with NPR, Black Thought talked about his rap doppelgänger in Rozay and how he reacts to people who think he's the Miami "bawse." While some artists might find this annoying, the Philadelphia MC embraces it because he doesn't want to destroy the moment.
"And I don't know that I've ever corrected anyone — like I've never said, 'No no, I'm not Rick Ross, I'm Black Thought from The Roots,'" he explains. "Sometimes little kids come up to me shaking: 'You mind if I take a picture?' And I'll take a picture and I'll hear one whisper to the other: 'I love Rick Ross.'"
"I'd rather not correct them. I let people have that moment, because for them it's just as special," he continued. "I don't say, 'No, no. It's me, the dude from The Roots.' But sometimes I've had people come in [and] talk to me for you know five, seven, 10 minutes about how I've impacted their lives and, you know, how important my music has been. And I might start to assume that they recognize me. And then they'll get to the end and it's like, you know, 'Thank you, Rick."
Elsewhere in the interview with, Thought talks about how his parents' death affecting him growing up in Philly, his Hot 97 Freestyle and whether his rap moniker is to black for TV.
Meanwhile, Thought is set to release his new project Streams of Thought, Vol. 1 - EP on Friday (June 1). The collection features production by 9th Wonder and the Soul Council. You can pre-order the album right now on iTunes.
