Port of Notes releases new album in October
Hatakeyama Miyuki and DSK reunite as Port of Notes to release a new album in October. Titled Evening Glow, the new album is the pair's first since releasing Duet With Birds three years ago. Guest musicians on the album include Matsutoya Yumi (who collaborates with Port of Notes for the first time), Matsunaga Takayoshi, Sakada Gaku (Polaris) and Horikawa "Bobo" Hiroyuki. Uchida Naoyuki (Dry & Heavy) engineered the album. A limited edition first pressing of Evening Glows also includes an 8cm CD containing "Dead Angel (Naoyuki Uchida dub)" and "Walk Through Happiness (instrumental)".


The National Rail Awards judges could not let the 2017 awards pass without honouring and recognising the brave BTP and Northern staff who ran directly into danger to help during the recent terror attacks in Manchester and London. They made four special awards. These are two of them.
Two weeks after the events in Manchester, events at London Bridge unfolded. At about 2200 on Saturday June 3 a BTP officer, PC Wayne Marques, was on patrol at London Bridge station. It was a busy night with revellers travelling to Borough Market and South Bank to enjoy the night-time economy. The officer was equipped with a radio and standard personal protective equipment, which included an extendable baton.
He heard a scream from outside the railway station which he described as: "The scream of someone in trouble." He saw people running away from where the screaming had come from, and realised that something was very wrong and that people may be in danger. He saw people on the ground that had been subjected to multiple stab wounds, and then saw people actually under attack by three terrorists.
The terrorists had used a vehicle to attack people on the bridge. They had then disembarked and were attacking people with knives. They were wearing credible-looking bomb vests.
He ran towards trouble. As an experienced officer, he knew that the odds were against him. The best he could hope for would be to engage them and slow them down enough to buy some time for the injured, dying and fleeing people who were terrified. He knew what the probable outcome for him would be.

Q: How to write a non-trivial function that returns a function in Scala? In Javascript, I would write a higher order function returning another function this way:
var f = function(x) {
  return function(y) {
    // something using x and y
  }
}

The Scala syntax for this seems to be:
def f(x: Any)(y: Any) = // Something with x and y

which is fine if you never need to do anything before creating the returned function.  But suppose you had to process x somehow before creating the return function (example again in Javascript):
var f = function(x) {
  // Something using x
  return function(y) {
    // something using y based on the above logic
  }
}

The documentation is unclear on this point.

A: For example, calling the following function:
def hof(i:Int) = (x:Int) => x + i

returns a Int => Int function, that is one that will take an Int and return an Int. For your case you can do like:
 def hof(i:Int) = {
    // do some other stuff....

   (x:Int) => i + x  //the last statement, so this function will be returned.
 }

A: You can expliclty return a function instead of using separate parameter lists e.g.
def f(x: Any) = {
    //something using x
    (y: Any) => //something with x and y
}

or
val f: (Any => (Any => Any)) = x => {
    //something using x
    y => //something with x and y
}

A: As @Chirlo said, Int => Int denotes a function .
A => B is just syntactic sugar for the trait FunctionN[A,B] where

*

*A is the input type

*B the output type

*FunctionN varies according to the number of inputs : Function1 accepts 1 input, Function2 accepts 2 inputs...

So using Chirlo's example,
def hof(i:Int) = {
    // do some other stuff....

   (x:Int) => i + x  //the last statement, so this function will be returned.
 }

, this is equivalent to
def hof = new Function1[Int,Function1[Int,Int]] {
    def apply(i:Int) = new Function1[Int,Int] {
        def apply(x:Int) = i + x
    }
}

November 30, 2011 / Brooklyn news / Bensonhurst
City slams Calko — again!
By Dan MacLeod
Brooklyn Daily
Don't miss our updates:
The city slammed the latest plan for parking within the Calko Medical Center, claiming the developer still hasn't set aside enough spots.
Recipients' email addresses (Up to ten, separated by commas.)
The city is demanding the developer of a medical building in Bensonhurst find more room to park cars within the structure before it will signs off on the nearly finished nine-story edifice that doesn't adhere to the area's zoning.
The Board of Standards and Appeals and neighbors of the Calko Medical Center on Bay Parkway between 60th and 61st streets, criticized developers at a Nov. 22 meeting for setting aside valuable floor space for storage and a cafeteria before ensuring that it could provide enough parking spots for its patients and staff.
"It is clear that you are not utilizing the cellar space as much as you could," Board Chairwoman Meenakshi Srinivasan chided project consultant Seth Wright at the hearing.
It was the fourth time that the city told the lawyer representing developer Mark Caller that he needs to provide more parking.
The city requires a building that size to provide at least 206 spaces, but Caller has repeatedly tried to low-ball that figure, using dubious parking studies to explain why the parking situation in the neighborhood is not as bad as everyone makes it out to be, critics charged.
Wright told the board that another pocket of space in the basement could not be used for parking because sensitive medical equipment was stored directly above on the next floor.
A cafeteria in the basement also used up space, so some board members told developers to just move it.
"The cafeteria is an amenity; it isn't a requirement," said Susan Hinkson. "I'd like to see that used for more public space."
The meeting in lower Manhattan drew a packed crowd of Bensonhurst neighbors who took the day off from work and travelled by bus to rail against the plan.
"We would really have like to welcome this building into our community," said Anna Cali, who is among 50 neighbors organized a group four years ago to fight oversized developments in the area. "But there has just been too much deception. Instead of shuffling cars around, why can't they just add another floor of parking?"
Caller's lawyer, Lyra Altman, declined to comment after the meeting.
The next hearing is slated for Jan. 10.

Q: Central Limit Theorm with Exponential Distribution So the question asks,
"$Y_1, Y_2$... are i.i.d. with distribution Exponential(3). Use the central limit theorem to estimate $P(\sum^{1600}_{i=1}Y_i \le 540)$."
So I understand that we subtract and divide the Mean = 1/3 and root of Variance = $\sqrt{1/9}$ = 1/3 like so:
$P(S \le 540) = P((S-1/3)/1/3 \le (540-1/3)/1/3) = P((S-1/3)/1/3 \le 1619) \approx \phi(1619)$
And then we approximate to phi values, but the answer I've been given is $\phi(0.5)$
Is there something wrong with my method or calculations?

A: Your mistake is that you're using the mean and variance of $Y_i$, not of their sum.
The mean of a sum is the sum of the means, and the variance of a sum of independent random variables is the sum of the variances.
If each $Y_i$ has mean $1/3$ and variance $1/9$, $S = \sum_{i=1}^{1600} Y_i$ has mean $\mu = 1600/3$ and variance $1600/9$, thus standard deviation $\sigma = \sqrt{1600/9} = 40/3$.  By the CLT, it is approximately normal.  Thus the given value of $540$
corresponds to a $z$ value of $(540 - \mu)/\sigma  = 1/2$.  So indeed
$\mathbb P(S \le 540) \approx \Phi(1/2)$
where $\Phi$ is the standard normal CDF.


As one may know, a lot can be learned from the shape of simple Candle Stick patterns. Therefore, traders have identified a number of instantly identifiable Candle Stick shapes and used these as the first step in their Candle Stick analysis.
These candles have a long real body and are when the asset has opened near its low / high and closed near its high / low. In the case of a close above the open, it is termed a Big Green candle and in the case of close below the open it is a big red candle.
A big red candle can be a simple indicator of a bearish pattern whereas a Big Green candle is seen as a bullish indicator. The Big Red and Green candle are an extension of a standard red / green bodies.
In general, long bodies are considered strong signals of either buying or selling pressure. In the case of the green candle, it is a bullish indicator which shows that prices advanced significantly since the open with the closing price high above the open.
In the case of a long red body, the converse is true. It is a bearish signal as the closing price is far below the open. These big bodies can usually mark a turning point on a resistance or support level.
A Doji is a candle where there is virtually no body on the candle. They are formed when the opening and closing price of the asset are extremely close together. Below is an example of a simple Doji.
There are also two more specific Dojis and they differ according to where the body of the candle is placed. These are the Dragonfly Doji and the gravestone Doji. These are presented on the right.
The candle on the left is the Gravestone Doji. With this Candle Stick, the opening and closing levels are both near the candle's low point. This is usually a bearish indicator.
On the right we have the Dragonfly Doji. With this candle, the opening and closing positions are both usually quite close together and near the candle's high point. This is a bullish indicator.
When the opening and closing position are nearly exactly in the same location and roughly between the daily high and low, we have the Long Legged Doji. This is presented on the right.
With a Long legged Doji, it indicates that there is strong pushes from both the bulls and the bears. When there is a procession of Dojis in a pattern, there is not much to be gleaned with confidence.
However, when a Doji appears after a Candle Stick with a proper body, this can be a significant indicator of a change in buying / selling pressure.
This can either be a green or red Candle Stick and is formed when the body is near the top of the candle and is far above the lower tail. As a rule of thumb, the lower tail should be about 3 times the length of the body.
This could be considered a bearish pattern when in an uptrend.
The Standard Hammer is on the left. This indicator usually consist of a small body either red or green near the top of Candle Stick. It will usually have no upper tail but a longer lower tail. It is considered a bullish indicator in a downtrend. It is sometimes also termed a "Shaven Head".
In the middle and right we have the inverted Green and Red hammer. These are merely the inverse of the standard hammer. The inverted red hammer is considered a bottom reversal signal. This also may take on the name of a Shaven bottom.
Another interesting variant of the hammer is the shooting star. This is essentially an inverted hammer but with a much smaller body. This can either be a red or a green candle and is a bearish indicator in an uptrend.
When a long shadow is formed, the upper or lower portion of the wick is usually 2-3 times the length of the total range of the candle. This differs from a hammer or hanging man as there may be some of the wick that is visible.
Taking a look at the above images, on the left we have the long upper shadow candle. This can be either a red or green Candle Stick and can be identified with the Candle Stick wick positioned above the body.
This can either be a red or green candle and is normally seen as bearish signal when observed near resistance levels.
On the right, we have the long lower shadow where the candle is formed with a wick that is below the body. This can be either a green or red candle and is considered a bullish signal when formed near support levels.
A Marabozu is formed when there are virtually no tails. This is because the open and close were near the max and min for the day. This can either be a red or a green Marubozu.
Taking a look at the image to the right, one can see the Marubozu is merely a candle body and has no tails. This candle is indicative of a continuation pattern. This means that the current trend is most likely to continue.
In the candle to the left, we have the spinning top which is another continuation candle. This is either a red or green candle with a small body towards the middle of the candle. The wicks are usually quite short in comparison to many of the other candles.
A spinning top also shows that neither the buyers nor the sellers could gain an upper hand and the close was near the open over the time period. Depending on the preceding candle, a spinning top can point at a number of things.


Recent European legislation (Brussels IV) has rendered some old Spanish wills made by British void. In such cases it is highly recommended a lawyer drafts a new one to safeguard your heirs' interests. Any will witnessed before the 17th of August 2015 should be revised by a Lawyer to ensure it is fully compliant. More details in our article: Spanish Wills and Probate Law in light of European Regulation 650/2012.
More on this: Will writing service.
A Spanish will only affects your Spanish estate. It does not affect any assets or preclude any prior will witnessed in your home country.
Drawing up a Spanish will saves both money and hassle. If you only make an English will, your beneficiaries will have to follow a Grant of Probate in the United Kingdom (over £1,200). You'll need to translate into Spanish by a sworn translator all legal documents, notarise them and affix to each of them the Apostille seal of The Hague Convention. All this greatly increases the expenses for your beneficiaries, as well as significantly delaying the whole procedure of transferring your Spanish estate which will attract surcharges, penalties and delay interests (point two above). However, if you make a Spanish will, the above becomes redundant.
Spanish wills are stored safely at no extra charge. On making a Spanish will, you will be given only a "copia simple" (simple copy) or "copia autorizada". The original is stored by the Notary in his files for record. Should you lose your copy, don't panic. All Spanish wills' details are safely stored at Madrid's Central Registry of Last Wills. One can always request a copy and if you believe you are a beneficiary, they will let you know before which Notary it was witnessed.

Ivanka Trump used personal email for gov't business – report
President Donald Trump has repeatedly pilloried Hillary Clinton, his rival in the 2016 presidential election, for her use of a private email server for government business while she was secretary of state

WASHINGTON DC, USA – The US president's daughter and senior advisor Ivanka Trump used a personal email account for government business in violation of federal records rules, The Washington Post reported Monday, November 19.
The Post, citing anonymous sources, said the discovery was made by White House officials reviewing emails in response to a public records lawsuit.
When asked about it, Trump said she was unfamiliar with details of the rules, the Post said.
A spokesman for Trump's attorney confirmed that she did use a private email account before she was informed of the rules, and said that all her government-related emails had been turned over months ago, the newspaper reported.
President Donald Trump has repeatedly pilloried Hillary Clinton, his rival in the 2016 presidential election, for her use of a private email server for government business while she was secretary of state.
Then FBI director James Comey – fired by the president last year – announced that the bureau would reopen an investigation into Clinton's use of the private email server just 11 days before the 2016 presidential vote, a move that some say may have helped cost her the election.
Trump supporters still chant "Lock her up!" at rallies, mimicking one of Trump's battle cries during the election campaign, indicating they believe Clinton should be jailed. – Rappler.com

Paper Lions Ready to Rock the Homburg for Album Launch
Paper Lions to set to stage Super Show & Album Launch for 'Stay Together'
October 19 | 7:30pm | Homburg Theatre
To celebrate their latest recording, the 2019 ECMA Award winning group Paper Lions are throwing one helluva concert: a must-see 'Super Show' Saturday, October 19 in the historic Homburg Theatre, the crown jewel venue on P.E.I.
(Jon Wedge Photography)
"We're really looking forward to our 3rd Super Show on the Island, and our first time headlining a show at Confederation Centre," says lead singer John MacPhee from a break in finishing the new album. "This show is going to be a lot of fun and full of surprises; special guests, songs old and new, and lots more!"
Patrons can expect a thrilling set list that spans the Lions' 15-year career arch, an electrifying visual show, and numerous stage surprises—all set within one of Canada's premium large theatres, one where the Lions have collected awards and transfixed audiences at different stops along their career.
"I remember when Colin and I went to see Blue Rodeo on the mainstage when we were kids," MacPhee recalls. "It was an awesome show and I left the Centre thinking how amazing it would be to play on that stage some day. "
The 'Super Show' has become in the iconic band's recent history, a visual spectacle of engaging performances and fun theatrics that have been the talk of the town each time, having been held previously at the PEI Brewing Company and the Delta Hotel.
Paper Lions has been a model of independent music success since its inception in 2004. From amassing millions of streams, to landing several tracks on NBC & ABC network shows, to finding themselves in Billboard's Top-10 chart for fastest-growing artists in the world, the bandmates have reached milestones that most artists will never know.
On the cusp of releasing their new album 'Stay Together' the band finds itself feeling nostalgic for the early days, as the fresh-faced local lads in 'The Chucky Danger Band', but also hopeful about the future. "I remember the first summer we started, I convinced my brother Rob, next door neighbour Colin and our high school friend Dave to start a band," says MacPhee with a smile. "My foolproof plan for us to make a boat load of money was to play four shows at The Guild . We didn't make any money, but playing the shows was super fun. 15 years later and not much has changed!"
On Stay Together the band plates up nine catchy new pop-rock songs, including the first singles '"Rhythm & Gold" and "Don't Feel Like That". The themes are semi-autobiographical, exploring the band's own career arch, when they first were falling in love with making music and also finding their own romantic relationships along the way. They have created an album that celebrates their rock roots from the early days, but also goes deeper, creating an overview and remembering their dreams from the teenage days, when they started making rock'n'roll.

I strongly encourage you to participate in the upcoming survey, and thank you in advance.
The Emerging Leaders Business Orientation has been very successful and enjoyed by all who have attended. We will continue with this next year with a new group of emerging leaders, so please watch out for communications in the New Year for your opportunity to register!
Pink Hi-Vis is this year's must have accessory - Some Ticket Inspectors and Ticket Officers will be wearing pink as part of a new Block of Line (BOL) specialised Customer Service group. They will carry cue cards and rail bus maps, and we expect customers will receive an improved experience with us.
Lastly, with the weather expected to remain sunny and clear, I hope you all have a great weekend.

This trip started as a weekend on the River Dart. Sadly, because it was the last weekend for access, everyone else had also decided to visit Devon to do the same thing meaning that all the bunkhouses were full. Then we inspected the DartCam only to realise that there was no water in the river. Basically full bunkhouses and an empty river meant that we needed an alternative. Cue, the Tryweryn.
Ten of us ventured to deepest, darkest Wales for the weekend: Simon, Kate W, Ruari, Becks, Gwyl, Ishy, Lizzy, Andy, Seb and me. We loaded the boats in record time, despite Simon having to empty his boot of all manner of rubbish! We tucked into some fish and chips before the three hour trek to North Wales. As the cars slowly moved off I realised that our car, consisting of me, Simon, Kate and Ruari wasn't moving. Simon was fiddling with technology that didn't seem to want to work. With our main navigation system broken we once again turned to Jen Jen as the ultimate SatNav and we disappeared north.
We pulled in at Shrewsbury to pick up some kit from Simon's brother. However, by sheer back luck, the A5 into Wales was closed and on our way out of Shrewsbury we were sent on a diversion. At a large roundabout we were told to follow circular diversion signs. We couldn't find any of these though and decided to follow some diamond shaped signs instead, assuming they were the same. After a little while the diversion we were on was diverted a second time as another road was closed. The diversion of the diversion took us to a crossroads in a small village where a helpful sign said' Diversion Ends'. Realising that the diversion of the diversion had actually taken us half way back to Shrewsbury we took a few moments to compose ourselves. Simon turned the technology off and on again and it started working so we set a new route and eventually got to the Bala Backpackers bunkhouse at 11.30pm!
We all woke at a reasonable hour, had breakfast and set off for the Tryweryn White Water Centre. We drove next to the river on the way up to centre, but suddenly noticed that there was no water in the river. Despite being assured there would be a 9 cumec release at 9am from the dam, the river was mostly river bed and rocks. We parked the cars and went to the main visitors centre to be told that the dam release had been put back to 11am, which was a relief. It gave us plenty of time to have a look at the course and sort out the shuttle.
The lads who knew what they were doing paddled the Upper section while the ladies, who were getting tuition from Simon and Andy, had a safety briefing. We eventually made our way to the water, launched and then took off down the Lower section in two groups - Becks and me with Andy, Lizzy and Kate with Simon. We practiced ferry gliding, eddy hopping, leadership and breaking in and out. The biggest challenge was staying out of the trees which lined the banks.
Our safety skills were put to the test at lunch when a paddler got pinned upside down in the strainer. It was fab to see so many of our members being able to help with rescuing. After getting out of her pinned boat, a girl was clinging to the tree that had caused the problem, but Ruari and I managed to talk her to the bank and warm her up with something to drink. The lads also offered their services to help retrieve the boat.
We ventured further down the river to Bala Mill Falls, a grade four rapid, which was just above our get out. Standing at the top watching a mush of white foam forcing its way through a narrow gap and down two drops, Bala Mill Falls looks huge. We all inspected it and the ladies decided to leave it for another day.
The lads ran the falls a couple of times while Kate and I took the leat to a safe get out, leaving Lizzy and Becks to carry their boats and portage round. We took photos and video of several descents, and then used our rescue skills further when two boaters failed to roll up after coming down the falls.
That evening, we tucked into a hearty meal of chilli and rice cooked by our very own chefs, Gwyl and Seb, and strange things happened in the boy's dorm, with talk of pixies dancing around Stonehenge some time in the early morning.
We knew the dam release would not be until 11am again so we had more time on Sunday morning to pack our kit, have breakfast and empty the bunkhouse. I was tempted to do the upper section and so Kate and I followed the lads to watch their progress while taking photos. I decided not to spoil a perfectly good trip with a dunking and decided to get on at the top of the lower section. We had a slight mishap on the first section with poor Becks taking a dunking after hitting a rock. Sadly she hit her face when coming out of her boat and so decided not to tempt fate by carrying on paddling in case things got worse. With Becks out and Kate not paddling due to a migraine, we were slightly depleted, but nevertheless determined to have a good time.
We made our way down faster than the previous day, with slightly less instruction as we remembered where to scout rapids, where to ferry across the river, which were the good eddies, and the slightly trickier micro-eddies. Then we came to Bala Mill Falls. I decided to run it and Lizzy decided to be rescue bod jut in case I did anything unusual. I sat in the eddy at the top and Simon and Andy pointed to where I should go. Simon went first and I followed his line as well as I could. At the bottom, in one piece, there were tales of me sitting on my stern half way down, but to be honest it was a blur. Looking back, it was mostly the noise of the water thundering down that made it seem so fierce, but I was really chuffed.
We zipped back home to Oxford in record time and after unloading the boats rounded it all off with some grub in The White Horse in Headington, retelling tales of things that had happened during the weekend.


Reverend Jetstream 390 has enough twang for surf music and enough thickness for rock. Reverend P90 neck and middle pickups are a little cleaner than traditional P90's whereas the bridge pickup is a little hotter than traditional. Wilkinson tremolo bridge has a very smooth and accurate feel.

COVID-19 Deaths Among Young Latinos Are Skyrocketing And It's Having Major Impacts On Our Community

In what seems like a never ending saga and yet a blink of an eye at the same time, 2020 has been a devastating year for so many. The Coronavirus pandemic has snaked its way through the lives of Latinos across the country, leaving illness, sorrow, pain, and death in its wake.
Few communities have been as impacted by the pandemic as the Latino community. As of Dec. 23, Covid-19 had killed more than 54,000 Latinos, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's COVID Tracking Project, which acknowledges that its numbers are incomplete.
So many of our tíos and primos, even our own mothers and fathers, work in jobs that are considered essential and they're bearing the brunt of the pandemic's toll on workers.
Meanwhile, the virus has destroyed the foundations built by our families through hard work to give us – the younger generation – a better future.
Young Latinos are being hit particularly hard by the latest surge in COVID-19 deaths.
Young Latinos have died from COVID-19 at 3x the rate as their white peers. They've had more exposure to the virus as they're overrepresented in farm work, grocery stores, and service industries. https://t.co/yVyUW6P3sL
— Documented (@Documentedny) December 28, 2020
It was obvious from the beginning of the pandemic that those already worse off were going to be most impacted by the virus. And that's exactly what happened. Covid-19 thrived on many Latinos' roles as "essential workers" and it exploited the long-standing gaps compared to white Americans in income, education and access to health care.
The virus immediately had an outsized impact on our community, since so many of us suffer from higher rates of diabetes, hypertension and higher rates of obesity while having less savings and lower wealth, as well as limited business capital.
Meanwhile, the virus has worked to undo generations of progress made by our families in making sure that younger Latinos have strong foundations to work toward a better economic standing.
Gabriel Sanchez, of the University of New Mexico Center for Social Policy, told NBC News that "The only state where Latinos are not overrepresented in cases and casualties is in New Mexico, and that is because Native Americans have been hammered."
An even more shocking truth is that Covid-19 has been more deadly for young Latinos than other racial groups. Latinos have the greatest share of deaths in age groups under 54, according to CDC data, while among whites, the greatest share of deaths has occurred in age groups over 65.
So many young Latinos work in jobs that are now considered essential and can't stay home.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, young and working-age adults were hit hard. Covid-19 spread like wildfire in many of the fields that os many young Latinos work in: service industries, farm work, meat plant workers, grocery stores, and healthcare. This grim reality is reflected in the data.
Among Americans who are 35 to 44, almost half (48.9 percent) of those who died were Latino, compared to 27.3 percent of Black people and 15.5 percent of whites, according to an analysis of 226,240 deaths using CDC data.
By contrast, in the 65-74 age group, 45.3 percent killed by Covid-19 were white, 24.7 percent were Black and 23.1 percent were Latino.
For many families, the pandemic has turned back the progress made by earlier generations.

The pandemic and the death it's brought along with it, has undone so much of the valuable progress made by our families. Before Covid-19 hit, our community had bounced back from the economic blow of the Great Recession.
In fact, between 2016 and 2019, wealth among Latino and Black families grew faster than that of other groups, though they still had far to go to catch up to white families, whose median family wealth last year was $188,200, compared to $36,100 for Hispanics and $24,100 for Blacks.
Before the pandemic, Latino unemployment was at 4 percent, but then soared to 19 percent in April. It fell back to 8.4 percent in November, but it's still double the pre-pandemic rate.
Latino businesses were the engine driving small-business growth, and some had been adding jobs until the pandemic hit. Now, more jobs have been lost in several industry sectors with disproportionately higher rates of Latino-owned businesses — such as food services — than in the private sector overall, according to the Urban Institute.

Have A Virtual Hot Date? Here's How To Make Sure It Doesn't Suck
MixMedia / Getty Images
For the single introverts among us, lockdown might seem like the perfect opportunity to re-charge our social batteries and have some much needed alone-time. But no, thanks to the wonders of technology and just how damn adaptable human beings are, virtual dating has totally become a thing.
For better or for worse, people are dating just as much as ever – albeit through a screen. So if you're using dating apps during lockdown, arranging video dates and looking for virtual date ideas, here's a handy guide on how to stay safe and how to ace virtual dating.
Make a damn effort
#DATING: Virtual date nights to keep the spark alive 💕 Dating from a distance doesn't have to be boring! https://t.co/Q0oDYLAV48 pic.twitter.com/XjCSx3XIDf
— DIVA Magazine (@DIVAmagazine) January 8, 2021
Act as if the date was in person and get ready accordingly. Shower if you haven't already that day — it'll make you feel a lot better — and put on your favorite outfit. Even if it's not seasonally appropriate, who cares? Wear the sundress pushed all the way back in your closet. Put on makeup if that's your thing, and do your hair.
It makes all the difference not only in how you present yourself but by how you perceive yourself. You'll feel better on the date, more like your "usual" self.
Figure out your camera setup beforehand
Pro-tip: Do all this the day before, or at least an hour before, the date starts. That way you're not scrambling and worrying about your angles. Decide if you're going to use your phone or computer. Put it at eye-level, if possible. If you're using a laptop, you can place it on a stack of books, but you can also DIY it by leaning your phone against your laptop screen (which can have its own book stack setup) or anything else you can find.
And…lighting…lighting….lighting! Set yourself up with some good, flattering lighting before you start the call. Find a place that's the most flattering in your house. Be sure you're not backlit by a window which can wash out your face.
Simulate real date ideas

Although you obviously can't "grab a drink" together, you can simulate that. Text before the date and decide if you'll be drinking wine, coffee, or eating dinner "together." You can even do a twist on "Netflix and chill," simultaneously using Netflix's "party" function; if you go that route, choose something campy or that you've both seen before so you can chat easily during it.
"A nip slip may not be appropriate for a date with a new person," Moraya DeGeare, a licensed marriage and family therapist, joked to Refinery 29. "It's modern times, so I think there will be the temptation for people to be really bold and ask about FaceTime sex. People are horny and trapped in their houses. On one hand, that's okay, but on the other, you're risking someone taking screenshots," she cautions. "Listen to your intuition and don't do something you don't feel comfortable with."
She adds that you shouldn't take the call from bed, because "you're immediately sending all these other signals unintentionally." Generally, she says you should conduct the date as you would in person.
Expect awkwardness to happen, because it will happen
Credit: Peter Dazely / Getty Images
Awkwardness isn't necessarily a bad thing and, when dating is involved, it's inevitable. First dates in real life have their own clumsy moments, so don't beat yourself up if your camera freezes for a moment, or if you talk over the other person. It's going to happen! Just laugh about it and move on.
Stay safe and comfortable
Although it may seem like common sense, being cooped up inside for so long has left many of us lacking some of the most basic people skills. Remember to not give out any of your personal details – think home address and bank details – and watch out for any suspicious links that might come through in the chat.
Before the date, it's also a good idea to do some recon on your date's social media to make sure they are who they say they are. Also, don't show your face on camera if they're not showing theirs, that's a serious red flag.
And lastly, know that you can end the date whenever you want to. You don't owe anybody anything and it's totally fine if you're feeling uncomfortable or in danger to just end the call. But remember, basic dating etiquete also still remains so don't just close your computer screen without saying goodbye because you're just not feeling the vibe.

Music's Biggest Night Is Officially Postponed As COVID-19 Wreaks Havoc On California

The 2021 Grammys won't be taking place as expected at the end of the month. According to Rolling Stone, the Grammys have been postponed indefinitely thanks to the extreme surge of COVID-19 cases in the Los Angeles area – which is where the Grammys take place year after year.
The shocking surge in cases of COVID-19 have forced the Grammys to postpone the award show.
We've taken the decision to reschedule the Grammys. March 14th it is. Statement below. pic.twitter.com/1WoknttAld
— Ben Winston (@benwinston) January 5, 2021
It was announced just this week that Los Angeles County – which is currently experiencing one the worst outbreaks in the world – is seeing someone die of COVID-19 every 15 minutes. Meanwhile, a reported 7,600 people in LA are hospitalized with COVID symptoms.
As many Angelenos – and Americans across the country – remain under strict stay-at-home orders, it would definitely not seem right to move forward with a glitzy award show that would risk making the outbreak worse.
As a result, the Grammys are planning a limited production event to take place in March, according to The Fader. In other words, no live audience and only performers and presenters on-site. Nominees and winners would likely accept their awards remotely like many of last year's award ceremonies during the first wave of the pandemic.
This year's Grammys were expected to feature big moments for the Latin music industry.
Selena will be posthumously honored with the #Grammys Lifetime Achievement Award.https://t.co/goy42piBGp
— NBC Latino (@NBCLatino) January 1, 2021
Bad Bunny was expected to pick up awards and was rumored as a performer. Other Latino nominees included J Balvin, Camilo, Arca and Lido Pimienta. Meanwhile, Selena was also scheduled to receive a posthumous Lifetime Achievement Award that her family was planning to accept on her behalf.
Original Story Posted November 10, 2020:
Seriously, it was just last year that some of the world's most popular artists – reggaetoneros and trap artists like Bad Bunny and J Balvin – were completely ignored. I mean it was so serious there was even a hashtag: "Sin Reggaetón, No Hay Grammy."
At the 2019 Latin Grammy Awards, the top award categories very conspicuously left out these very artists. However, this year they're dominating all the categories and bringing in a record number of nominations.
The 2020 Latin Grammy nominations are in and they definitely do a better job at representing the community than last year's.
J Balvin, Bad Bunny, Ozuna lead nominations for 2020 Latin Grammy Awards https://t.co/ICsTuYYrZq
— Los Angeles Times (@latimes) September 29, 2020
In 2019, the Latin Grammy's went viral but really for all the wrong reasons. social media exploded as Latin artists posted images of the Grammy logo with a large red "X″ across it, with words on the image reading in Spanish: "Without reggaeton, there's no Latin Grammys." Balvin even skipped the live show and Bad Bunny, who won best urban music album during the telecast, told the audience: "With all due respect, reggaeton is part of the Latin culture."
This definitely forced the Grammy's to reconsider this year's awards.
"Over the last year, we continued engaging in discussions with our members to improve the awards process and actively encouraged diverse Latin music creators to join and participate," Latin Academy President and CEO Gabriel Abaroa Jr. said in a statement, calling this year's nominees "a group that reflects the constant evolution of Latin music."
To honor Latin rap and reggaeton performers, the Latin Grammys added new categories this year, including best reggaeton performance and best rap/hip-hop song.
J Balvin leads the pack with an astonishing 13 Grammy nominations.
.@JBalvin is the top contender at this year's Latin Grammys with 13 nominations. Bad Bunny and Ozuna received nine and eight apiece, a reversal from last year, when reggaeton and Latin trap artists were shut out of the top categories.https://t.co/GCmBdbBZvM
— AP Entertainment (@APEntertainment) September 29, 2020
In announcing this year's nominees, J Balvin is in the lead with 13 total nods, including two nominations Album of the year, thanks to his own album Colores and his collab with Bad Bunny, OASIS.
The Colombian reggaetonero has a chance to win his first album of the year prize — a category with 10 contenders – and his chances look pretty good. However, even if he doesn't pick up that, he's in the running for several other awards.
Bad Bunny is close behind with nine nominations for what was a record-breaking year for the artist.
The Latin Recording Academy has officially announced the nominees for the 21st annual awards, and reggaeton artists are seeing more representation than last year https://t.co/Vt2EABHBCc
— Vulture (@vulture) September 29, 2020
Bad Bunny is included in the Album of the Year category for his album YHLQMDLG (which was this year's best-selling Latin album), however, his surprise album, LAS QUE NO IBAN A SALIR, wasn't recognized in any category.
In the Best Urban album category, Bad Bunny's YHLQMDLG is up against Anuel AA's Emmanuel, Benito's Oasis with J Balvin, Balvin's Colores, Feid's Ferxxo: Vol. 1 M.O.R., Ozuna's Nibiru, Sech's 1 of 1, and rising Puerto Rican rapper Myke Towers'Easy Money Baby.
Meanwhile, the Album of the Year category could get pretty interesting with this caliber of nominees.
This year's Album of the Year category prove what an incredible year 2020 was for Latin music. We were blessed with hit after hit which was all the more important considering what a traumatic year it's been.
Bad Bunny and J Balvin are both competing for the award. San Benito's YHLQMDLG faces off against Balvin's Colores and their joint album OASIS. Meanwhile, albums from Camilo (Por Primera Vez), Ricky Martin (PAUSA EP), and Kany García (Mesa Para Dos), are all up for the same award. What's extra special about this category this year is that it's also featuring three nominees from the LGBTQ community.
This year's top-selling record, "Tusa", is also up for a Grammy.
.@NICKIMINAJ has received two nominations with "Tusa" for the 2020 #LatinGRAMMY for Song of the Year and Record Of The Year.
She becomes the very first female rapper to be nominated for a Latin Grammy. pic.twitter.com/Jj6XdSrcve
— Female Rap Room (@girlsinrap) September 29, 2020
Colombian reggaetonera Karol G along with Trinidadian rapper Nicki Minaj are nominated for this hit song that has just blown up the airwaves this entire year.
"Tusa" is the sole Latin trap nominee in the song of the year category, where 11 tracks are in contention. It's a departure for Karol G, who didn't receive a single nomination last year and was part of the group of uber-successful Latin trap and reggaeton artists who were dissed in top categories like album, song and record of the year. This year, the Colombian performer who was named best new artist in 2018 has four nominations, including two shared with Minaj.
It's encouraging to see the academy actually reflect what is happening in Latin music. The inclusion of this larger variety of artists helps illustrate just how diverse the Latin music industry really is. But to see who actually takes home the awards will be a different story. The Latin Grammy Awards will air live from Miami on Nov. 19 on Univision.

Ep 2, The Pantomime Baddy, Magaluf explored.
After recent events in Magaluf, Oliver (Ollie) and Vicki, decide that Episode 2 probably should look at what the actual heck is going on in this tiny slice of Mallorca, aka Magaluf, aka Calvia Beach... Maga, a long time target for derision by the British press. has hit the headlines yet again recently due to the enthusiastic, after hours activities of some young people. The video recording of these events has lead to the subsequent closure of the area, Punta Ballena meaning that local businesses cannot make a living and tourists are being let down....Was the closure justified or could it have been avoided?

We make this podcast in conjunction with the Majorca Daily Bulletin, you can see their website https://www.majorcadailybulletin.comTaken from the Majorca Daily Bulletin website: the current law on face masksThe Government has changed its mind on the rules for face masks, yet again, according to Health Minister, Patricia Gómez.CompulsoryEveryone over the age of 6 must wear a mask at all times on public roads, in open and enclosed spaces for public use and in public service areas.Masks are compulsory at work, in both public and private firms, if social distancing of 1.5 metres cannot be guaranteed or when there is a possibility of contact with people who don't live in the same home and social distancing is impossible.At the entrances and exits to cultural and sports shows, the use of a mask is obligatory, except when eating or drinking.Weddings are restricted to 250 people outdoors and 150 indoors and rehearsals and performances of choirs and bands are restricted to 30 people and everyone must wear a mask except for those playing wind instruments.Passengers in a private car must wear masks unless they are all living at the same address and it is compulsory for Taxi Drivers and all passengers to wear a mask.Not CompulsoryIt is not necessary to wear a face mask at the beach, at swimming pools, when playing sports or wind instruments or in the countryside and a mask will only be necessary on promenades next to the sea if there are a lot of people."During walks next to the coast and in ventilated places, if you can keep the required social distance of 1.5 metres a mask is not necessary, but if promenades are very crowded it will be necessary to wear a mask," said Minister Gómez.It is not necessary to wear a face mask whilst eating or drinking at a restaurant or bar.Those under 16 years of age don't have to wear a mask when they're participating in regular activities with a stable group of children, such as at summer schools or camps.ExceptionsThose with any type of respiratory illness or difficulty which may be aggravated by the use of a face mask, those who do not have autonomy to remove the mask, due to disability or dependency and those with behavioural problems which make wearing a mask unfeasible are exempt from the ruling."A face mask is not required in cases of force majeure or a situation of need, or when due to the very nature of the activities of the use of the mask is incompatible," said Minister Gómez, who defended the tightening of the rules for face masks."With the recovery of Social, Tourist and Economic activity combined and the increase in Covid-19 cases at National and International level face masks are another measure of prevention and security and have proven to be very effective in slowing down the spread of the virus," she said.
