May 06, 2020 57 minutes
In episode 218 we welcome our guest, Adam Karr. In today's episode, we're talking stocks and investment process.
We cover Orbis' investment philosophy, and the relentless focus on companies trading at a discount to intrinsic value through a bottom-up analysis process. Adam offers thoughts on the current environment and why he thinks this looks more like the .com bubble, rather than the aftermath of the global financial crisis.
We get into some of the opportunities in the market today and discuss emphasizing companies with balance sheet strength and thinking in terms of long-term, normalized earnings power.
All this and more in episode 218 with Orbis Investments' Adam Karr.

Occasionally we need to configure outgoing SMTP services for a customer, and it's often convenient to relay through their current email provider. Today we did just that for a customer using GoDaddy hosted email. As an additional challenge, this customer's ISP did not allow outgoing requests on port 25 (default for SMTP), so we must use one of the alternate ports GoDaddy provides (we choose port 3535).
This configuration always seems to be fragile and hard to get right the first time, so I hope this post saves some frustration for GoDaddy users! I'll do my best to document all the changes, but your mileage may vary.
Update mynetworks to match your local network.
The settings above work for GoDaddy's smtpout.secureserver.net, they may differ for different services.
Some articles claim that you should include the port number (3535) in the /etc/postfix/sasl_passwd file, but that didn't work for me.
I truly hope that saves you an hour of work or two. Special thanks to Freelock for their article, which I reference all the time. That was the basis of my work this morning.

Hi, I was wondering if you setup any TLS settings. Most guides I found online use some sort of TLS. I was wondering if it's needed for this.
TLS is optional, but good to use if you can as without your messages and perhaps your password will be transmitted in the clear, and someone could see/hijack them. If that is not a problem for you, then the above configuration should work fine. Otherwise, I suggest you look into using TLS or SMTPS.
If your smtp server supports it.
Indeed, thanks for the comment squiggie, I've updated the article.

Q: Web3 trace filter method not exist in nodeJs I'm trying to get internal transactions. Everything running fine except below code.
Below is code snippet im using.
const Web3 = require('web3');
const web3explorer = require('web3-explorer');

web3 = new Web3(new Web3.providers.WebsocketProvider(`ws://RPC ADDRESS`));

web3explorer(web3);

const filter = { 'fromBlock': '0x...', 'toAddress': [addr] };

web3.trace.filter(filter, (err, tx) => {
    console.log(err)
    if (err || !tx) {
        console.error(`TraceWeb3 error :${err}`);
    }
});

Output:

Error: Returned error: the method trace_filter does not exist/is not available

This is how my package.json looks like

*

*"web3": "^1.0.0-beta.37"

*"web3-explorer": "1.0.2"

A: The trace_filter RPC method is implemented in the OpenEthereum node software (see their docs).
It's their custom method built on top of the official Ethereum JSON-RPC API (docs).
So when you're connected to a different node software than OpenEthereum, this method is not guaranteed to be available.
Solution: Connect to a node provider running OpenEthereum that has this method available.

Жильбе́р Дюссье́ (; 23 декабря 1949, Оиша-Бери, Бельгийское Конго — 3 января 1979) — люксембургский футболист.

Биография

Клубная карьера
Жильбер Дюссье начинал свою футбольную карьеру в клубе «Ред Бойз Дифферданж» из Люксембурга. В клубе Жильбер выступал с 1967 по 1974 год, в составе «Ред Бойз Дифферданжа» Жильбер стал обладателем Кубка Люксембурга в 1972 году. Затем он переехал в Германию и сыграл сезон за клуб «Рёхлинг Фёльклинген» в недавно созданной второй Бундеслиги, в которой Дюссье провёл 27 матчей и забил 17 мячей.

В 1975 году Дюссье переехал во Францию выступать за клуб «Нанси». Его дебют состоялся 8 августа 1975 года в матче чемпионата Франции сезона 1975/76 против «Валансьена».

Since the National League selected Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper as an injury replacement for Tuesday's All-Star Game, we have been figuratively beaten over the head with the fact that Harper is the youngest position player in MLB history to participate in the league's midseason showcase.
That being said, position players, particularly young ones, are bound to make mistakes.
For the most part, Harper has been solid for the Nats, but during the fifth inning of the NL's 8-0 win over the American League Tuesday, we beared witness to Harper's first All-Star "hightlight." And by "highlight," I mean "lowlight."
Harper lost Texas Rangers catcher Mike Napoli's fly ball in left field (no word on whether or not the glare from his golden shoes was in any way responsible), giving the national audience something to talk about other than the home runs and diving catches that had dominated the game up until that point (not to mention that he finished 0-for-1 with a strikeout in two plate appearances).
I hope that you know that that last paragraph was incredibly sarcastic. It happens to everybody, but since it happened to Harper, we get to talk about it around here.
Chin up, Bryce. Literally. Because you've got to look up to see the ball next time.

Bankrupt Solyndra: Let Us Give Bonuses
Tim Cavanaugh | 1.12.2012 10:06 AM
Lawyers for the bankrupt Fremont, California maker of tube-shaped solar panels at the center of a half-billion-dollar taxpayer loss have asked a judge's permission to give out bonuses (boni?) to high-paid employees.
Solyndra LLC entered bankruptcy this fall after liquidating a $518 million taxpayer-guaranteed loan. Reason's Mike Riggs earlier noted this story by Jim McElhatton in the Washington Times:
The attorneys say the extra money will add motivation at a time when workers at the solar company have little job security and more responsibilities because so many of their colleagues have been fired.
The names of the bonus-eligible employees are not disclosed in the court filings that outline the bonus proposal. None of the employees is among the so-called corporate "insiders" — top officers or members of the board of directors, records show.
The proposed bonus recipients include nine equipment engineers, six general business and finance employees and up to two information technology workers.
The biggest bonus, for $50,000, would go to a Solyndra employee whose job title is listed as a senior director with a base salary of $206,499 per year. Two senior managers stand to receive bonuses of $30,000 and $32,500.
Bankruptcy attorneys said the so-called "key employee incentive plan" aims to keep important personnel from leaving the company.
The saddest part is that you can understand how this might make sense to somebody. If the needs of the bankruptcy process are best served by maintaining the Solyndra rump as a functioning business, you do need to attract top talent at competitive salaries. (And employee compensation has continued to creep up in this devastating recession of grinding poverty and brutal austerity.)
But why, beyond fulfillment of as many existing contracts as possible, is there any value in maintaining a business? The auction of Solyndra drew very little interest. The product drew little demand in the market. Yet it maintains a sales mechanism and, according to a court filing, sales people:
Within the last few months, the debtors have experienced a serious loss of personnel, which has made the continuation of the sales process in an orderly fashion more difficult.
Here's the Solyndra sales page, where you can still read up on the white-roof tax break that is available, thanks to intercession from the Department of the Treasury, to buyers of Solyndra panels. Recommended: Question 13, explaining what lease terms "may improve the likelihood" of your becoming eligible for the Internal Revenue Service's investment tax credit.

I said the Solyndra scandal seemed to be winding down a few months back, but I did reserve the right to break out the tanning mirrors and the Bermuda Shorts and continue soaking in the energy right up on glory's own white roof.
For my comeback, I catalogued the Solyndra bag of goodies with Allen Barton on The Front Page.

Remembering Mario Taguiwalo - an illustrious son of Negros Island
Tech Support Wednesday, July 15, 2015
A post from August 8, 2012, MANILA, Philippines - I went through some old posts in the Facebook group, "You Know You're From Philippine Science If…" and came across this item by fellow Bacolodnon, George Parroco, which announced the passing away of Mario Taguiwalo last April. Going through George's post prompted me to re-post the same on this website if only to remind us of the brilliant minds brought forth by Bacolod.
Mario passed away last April 22, 2012. Unlike George who had the chance of being with Mario in Philippine Science High School during its early days, I did not know Mario personally. Nevertheless, like all other students who went through PSHS, all would know him by name because it was he who wrote the lyrics to the Philippine Science Hymn. In the days that followed after Mario's passing away, I met Mario's sister, Nancy Taguiwalo-Griffiths in Singapore and told her that all students of the PSHS system would definitely know her brother's name through that hymn alone.
Following is the article which George posted (source : http://www.interaksyon.com/article/30086/mario-taguiwalo---governance-champion-health-expert-artist-renaissance-man---passes-away )
MANILA, Philippines – Renaissance man and patriot Mario Taguiwalo – health and education expert, actor, good governance champion, political consultant, and among many other things widely credited for having written the lyrics to the Philippine Science High School hymn – lost his battle with colon cancer on Sunday, his wife announced. He was 60.
Taguiwalo was a former undersecretary of health, and was chairman of the board of trustees of InciteGov, a non-profit movement for good governance in the Philippines.
Since 1995, he had worked as an independent consultant for various Philippine agencies such as the Department of Health, Department of Education, Culture and Sports, Population Commission, National Commission on Culture and Arts, House of Representatives of Congress, as well as for international agencies such as the World Bank, Asian Development Bank, United Nations Population Fund, World Health Organization, and USAID.
Taguiwalo, whose sharp wit, incisive analytical skills, and youthful energy had made him a popular facilitator in conference and workshops for various government and non-government sectors, was one of the first products of the Philippine Science High School in 1969. The Internet Movie Database (imdb.com) credits him for the lyrics of the PSHS hymn.
For all his accomplishments in Philippine government and policy work – he had also consulted for the national peace process, and was a former president of National Institute for Policy Studies – IMDB.com also gives him acting credits for such Philippine cinematic touchstones as Gangland, Unfaithful Wife, Hinugot sa langit, Virgin Forest, Shake, Rattle & Roll, Sa Hirap at Ginhawa – and even Bagets 2.
Taguiwalo obtained an economics degree from La Salle College, Bacolod City, before earning his masters in economics from UP Diliman. He was also an Eisenhower Fellow in 1989.
On Sunday, April 22, Taguiwalo's wife, Beaulah, announced his passing in an email to family and friends:
"Mario is now at peace, perfectly happy and safe in our Heavenly Father's embrace," she wrote. "Just as he wished, Mario died simply, gently, peacefully, quietly, without physical pain. And, just as he wished, he was cremated right away, without any funeral or wake, without any obituary, and his ashes taken straight home by our middle son Homer and me and set beside the ashes of our youngest son Mike and our eldest son Mark in the privacy of our home."
Taguiwalo had battled colon cancer in the final months of his life, and in his last few years quietly survived the loss of two sons.
Beaulah shared a note that Taguiwalo had written in his final days:
"I wish all of my family, friends, and colleagues to know that I only have the fondest memories and deepest gratitude and affection for them. May they find comfort and joy in gathering together wherever they are, whenever they can, to celebrate my life instead of mourning my passing. May they speak of me and what I have done with fondness, and may they continue to build on the fine ideas and good works that we, together, were privileged to be part of. Most of all, I wish and pray that my family, friends, and colleagues lovingly embrace, comfort, protect, respect, and support my beloved wife Beaulah and my beloved son Homer. . . . With God's grace and mercy, they will have to continue living their lives here on earth until it is time for them to join me and my sons Mike and Mark in our final and eternal heavenly home."

Good morning, my friends! It is Wednesday and in my neighborhood, it is sunny with a nice cool wind. There are freshly washed linen sheets waving in the sweet outdoors, pinned up on a porch clothesline. I just washed my hands and dug dirt out from under my fingernails after weeding and tending our baby plants in the gardens. The chickens have been let out. 'Tis the season for trips into the woods for sticks, in order to stake up the peas. Everything is growing out there, it's green and full and lush. The cats visited me in the gardens and chewed on plants and rolled in the good clean dirt.
I listened to the birds while bending over the garden.
On Sunday, we hosted a pig roast/baptism/Bible study. I know, the pig is rather disturbing. In fact, our 7 year old Seth refused to eat any of it after witnessing such a sight on the grill. However, it was delicious.
And our dear Emily, Jacob's girlfriend, was also baptized.
Wally had the honor of baptizing his son Jimmy, on his very own 72nd birthday. He told me it was the best day of his life. So you see, you just never know what Father God will bring to you in the future. The best is yet to come!
Rich and I set up tables in the garage for the food. Everyone was so generous in bringing side dishes. The only thing we had to do was prepare the house and yard, hire someone to do the pig roast, and supply coffee and water bottles.
I cut fragrant lilacs, which conveniently bloomed a few days before the picnic, and filled mason jars and vases.
People brought their own chairs and several people took pictures throughout the day. It's been fun to getting the emails.
Jacob had the camera for a little while and took this photo from the porch during Bible study.
I sat by Larissa, and Emily during the Bible study. It was a hot and humid day (in the opinion of New Englanders, but I'm sure Larissa was cold, as she is from Texas).
From my seat, I took a panorama. It's always exciting to try to keep the arrow on the line.
Mom and I went for a walk and counted 10 lady's slippers. They are Mom's favorite wild flower and it was a thrill to have her discover some in a new spot, too.
We heard a woodpecker up in the trees.
Several of our guests on Sunday stated that Mom and I "could pass as sisters" and it is true. As I am her firstborn, she was very young and newly married when she had me. I am forty now, and she is fifty eight. I am grateful for every day of my life with her and she is one of my best friends. She has taught me more by actions than words what is important in life; Christ, marriage, family, and the sweet simple gifts in life like birds and flowers, gardens and work.
My little children, let's not love in word only, neither with the tongue only, but in deed and truth.
She, as well, grew up with a Mother of gardens, sunshine, home cooked meals, walks in the woods, trees, and flowers.
The influence of mothers (and fathers) goes on and on.
Dear dad blew bubbles with the kids, played drums and guitar with E, football with Caleb, and probably other things that I missed while running around hosting the picnic. We sat on the porch and visited and talked.
Dad loves me. I can tell by his face.
Or maybe it's mom, since she is the one taking the photo.
When mom and dad had to leave, it was 8 at night. The sun was down and Caleb walked his Grandma to the car.
to tell to all the world that God is light.
This entry was posted in a simply lovely life, faith, family, home, it's the little things, milestones, nature and tagged caleb, motherhood, nature, parents, wildflowers by Shanda. Bookmark the permalink.
Baptism, family of God, flowers, and the love for your parents…the best. So precious to share these times.
How sweet and lovely to hear all this! I loved it all. What a delightful and praise worthy post!
It sounds like the most perfect kind of day.
What a great post! God is SO good. Thankful for baptisms, and I love the way you talk about your lovely parents. Sounds like you had an awesome weekend!!


Poor Aquaman gets a bad rap. For the longest time, in the mainstream, he's been touted as one of the more useless superheroes to come out of DC (though we all know that ain't true). So widely was Aquaman made fun of that DC Comics felt the need to address one of his super-abilities in the New 52 Aquaman comic.
As we saw in the first San Diego Comic-Con trailer, the superhero's "ability to talk to fish" is something that's also made fun of in the upcoming Justice League trailer by Bruce Wayne. But it sounds like that perception of the character may not only be restricted to taunts.
In a new video that shows off the B-roll footage of the upcoming Justice League flick, we get an awkward scene between Batman and Aquaman. In the scene, Batman wants a message conveyed to those under the sea, and asks Aquaman if he would be able to do so.
Of course, Aquaman just looks at him like he's an idiot.
That's not the only scene we get. We also have a couple scenes with Ray Fisher wearing his Cyborg "pajamas," and a behind-the-scenes look at Batman jumping down from a wall.
What did you think of this B-roll? Let us know down below!


Is Ad Retargeting Creepy or Just Good B2B Marketing?
As a B2B marketer, you constantly look for ways to get in front of that savvy buyer as he makes his journey toward the kind of solution you offer. He's conducting research all over the internet so you have to find a way to stand out among your competitors. Ad retargeting, of course, is one way.
After all, your prospects are used to seeing their personal browsings duplicated elsewhere online. They are quite accustomed to that search for gazebos that turns into gazebo ads on other sites they visit – just in case they may have missed out on a gazebo buying opportunity.
But it's not a stretch to wonder about ad retargeting, and what it means to your B2B prospects. Does it feel too personalized? Creepy? A little too much like a stalker? Do they welcome it or does it feel intrusive?
Is it possible that this level of personalization could turn someone off? Is it too personalized?
Personalization is a pioneering concept in digital marketing, no question about it. However over time, pioneering concepts eventually become more accepted. Do you remember how you felt when you received your first personalized email? Where you flattered or did it make you feel uncomfortable? Either way, now you're turned off if you receive marketing emails that aren't personalized. Proper use of personalization is key to retargeting success.
Audience segmentation is one thing you can do to offset that notion you may have about stalking your prospects. You're providing the very information they're seeking and you know this because they expressed an interest in learning more by visiting certain pages at your website. All you're really doing is tailoring ads based on your prospect's interest, which is very similar to email marketing.
This is at the core of any good B2B martech strategy. You are tasked with educating your prospects as they move through the sales funnel. They don't want to talk to you? Fine. But does that mean you give up? No, you educate them by putting the information where they can find it and consume it.
Just as with email marketing, you need to be precise with frequency. The sweet spot for a frequency cap is somewhere between 50 – 200 impressions per month per prospect. Anything less than 50 impressions just doesn't have enough impact and there's a strong diminishing value if you serve more than 200 impressions per month.
Don't overwhelm your prospects and they won't get the idea they're being spammed. Frequency caps help you avoid appearing as if you're stalking your prospects. Don't overexpose yourself and turn-off your prospects.
You can also switch out the creative to see what your prospects respond to and what simply doesn't work. White space, images, colors, messaging and calls-to-action are just as important with retargeting as any other ads you create – possibly even more.
Do you really know your prospects?
Today, unlike any other time in the history of marketing, we have actual data to use for decision-making rather than mere educated guesses, so one of the first things you may want to consider when retargeting is your bounce rate. If someone comes to your website and leaves within seconds, it may indeed be creepy if you retarget them. Use thresholds such as frequency and time to fine-tune your ad retargeting efforts. Not burning through your ad budget on uninterested visitors is a bonus here too.
But here's another budget-related bonus: Retargeting allows you to target ads based on demographics, geographics, firmographics and contextual targeting. You put your ads in front of the right prospects who are looking for the kind of information you can provide based on the data you have rather than a broad, and much more costly, ad campaign.
What you're really doing is structuring ads in ways that answer questions or concerns your prospects may have, again, based on the data you've been able to gather about them. Tell them about the success your client's have had through case studies. Educate them with white papers. Understand your prospects better, and you'll be better at determining when you're coming on too strong.
Are your prospects suffering from too much, too soon syndrome?
Degrees of personalization have different levels of effectiveness depending on where your prospect is in the sales funnel. Is he at the top? Middle? Or the bottom and just about ready to pull the trigger?
Personalize based on where that prospect is in the funnel. If they are totally new to your brand and website, it may not be the time to say, use their name in a web ad. But if they are at the bottom of the funnel, a hyper-personalized message to remind them to re-engage can be very effective.
For example, once your prospect gets to the bottom of the funnel, where he is listening to a demo and demonstrating more than a casual interest or if there's a proposal out, advertising automation and marketing automation can combine to provide a validation track. This is far more hyper-personalized, and may contain the prospect's name. It feels a lot less creepy to the prospect if you don't start off with too much personalization. Here though, it feels just right.
But it doesn't stop there. Even after the contract is signed, you can shift gears from a validation track to an onboarding track. The onboarding track stops when your CRM reflects that onboarding has been completed to ensure clients don't receive future ads.
For your prospects, a gentle nudge or reminder from a trusted friend is welcome. A repetitive, overly and oddly familiar and mistimed set of messages is an intrusion. Ad retargeting, like any other marketing tool at your disposal, should be used properly.
You can dial up or dial back the personalization and as a savvy marketer, you will use your marketing know-how to find the right level of personalization to match the kind of interaction your prospects want to have with you and vice versa.
You already have the data to tell you how to use retargeting to the fullest. Decide how you want to be seen by your prospects and put it into motion.

Character Bio's by Sasha Summers, Author of Jace
Hello Romance Besties,
Today we have author Sasha Summers who lives in the Texas hill country near San Antonio, Texas. Could she be my neighbor? Maybe... as I also live in the Texas hill country near San Antonio. Small world.
Today Sasha is sharing the first book in her new Kings of Country series and the main characters bios. Plus we get an excerpt!
So lets get started.
Jace - Kings of Country, #1
Let the music carry you away in this brand-new series featuring the King family and their country music dynasty
Music is all he has...but is it enough to heal them both?
Jace Black went from an oilfield roughneck to an overnight singing sensation. Now he's working on a duet with country music legend Krystal King, and he's determined to earn his way to the top. But the more time he spends with Krystal, the more he finds himself falling for her?and he's beginning to be more interested in her than he is in making a name for himself.
Krystal King grew up on stage and in the spotlight. No matter how golden her life appears, her past left deep wounds. But Jace Black makes her wish things were different. To do that, she'd have to risk letting him in... And that might be too big a risk for her battered heart to take.
BIO'S
Jace Black
Jace grew up understanding the importance of hard work. His grandmother raised him—teaching him all about respect, loyalty, and the how to be a good man. Whether he was working in the oil fields, acting as a local bail bondsman, or singing at a small-town honky-tonk, he always gave 110%. When his little sister enters him in a reality television singing program, he has no expectations. Winning was a complete surprise. But now that he has won, the money and the record deal, he sees this as the opportunity to give his little sister an easier life. The fact that he's getting to work with his favorite group, The Three Kings, makes it that much better. Meeting Krystal King puts a different slant on things. Now he doesn't just want to succeed on stage and in the recording studio, he wants her to give him—them—a chance. Even after the heartbreak and loss he's been through, there's something about Krystal that makes him think she might be worth the risk.
Krystal King
Krystal's father was a music legend. She'd never known a time when a tour bus, invasive media, and public appearances hadn't been a part of her life. When she, her twin sister, and her older brother formed the country music group the Three Kings, life didn't change much. Only now, she was the target of nasty rumors and fame-seeking wannabe's alike. She was pretty sure Jace Black was one of those. Even with his manners and soft-spoke ways, she wasn't fooled. Until she heard him sing. He wasn't pretending—he had talent. And the more time she spent with him, the more she began to suspect he was who he said he was: a good guy. A really hot good guy. But her past had too many skeletons, the sort that could destroy a life—let alone a career. Hard as it is, she knows it's best to keep Jace at arm's length. For his own good. But it would be easier if her heart would cooperate.
Krystal's hand was shaking when she reached for the greenroom door. What if Heather didn't like her? What if this was just a colossal mistake? Travis was going to make this unbearable.
"Krystal?" Travis asked, brushing her hand aside and opening the greenroom door.
"I can't believe this!" It was almost a scream. "Ohmygawdohmygawd…seriously?"
It was the look on Jace's face that set her mind at ease. He was smiling ear to ear, hurrying into the greenroom. She followed.
Jace was spinning Heather around, still smiling like a fool.
"His sister?" Travis asked, watching.
"You did this?" Emmy Lou's voice wavered. She had enough sentimentality for the three of them. "Krystal." She hugged her sister. "You did a good thing."
She hugged her sister back, watching Jace and Heather's reunion. "He missed her."
"Little sisters." Travis sighed, draping an arm over their shoulders. "You're pests, but you're our pests."
Krystal smiled and swatted his chest. Emmy Lou smiled and rested her head on his shoulder.
"I can't believe I'm here." Heather was beet red and staring. "I can't believe you're here." She clung to Jace's arm. "This whole night."
"Right there with you." Jace nodded. "Pretty unreal."
"You were amazing." Heather smiled up at him. "I was all, that's my brother—who swears he can't sing. Up there. Singing with Krystal King." Her brown eyes met Krystal's. "You're like the single coolest person ever." The way Heather was looking at her, she almost believed the girl.
Travis pushed her forward. "She has her moments."
Krystal smiled. "It's nice to meet you, Heather."
Heather hugged her. "Thank you, so much. I wanted to be here, but there was no way. Thank you."
Krystal hugged her back. "You needed to be here."
"This is amazing. Being here and you guys. Seriously, thank you." Heather stepped back. "I did that. I just hugged Krystal King. I am so sorry. You're like you. I'm seriously sorry."
Krystal laughed.
"It's just…I like, sort of idolize you, you know?" Heather paused. "Is that creepy? That is totally creepy, isn't it?" She glanced back at her brother.
That's when she realized Jace was staring at her. It was a new look. One she wasn't sure what to make of.
"Am I messing things up?" Heather asked, covering her face with her hands.
"No, you're not. He's so happy you're here, he's speechless." Travis stepped forward. "I'm Travis."
"Oh, I know." She was wide-eyed and blushing. "You're way cuter in person—I didn't think that was possible."
"I like her," Travis said to Jace.
"Liking is okay. Anything else is not allowed," Krystal cut in, stepping between Heather and her brother with a narrow-eyed look of warning.
Travis was laughing.
"Heather, I am so glad to meet you." Emmy Lou was all smiling charm and sweetness.
The inevitable glaze of awe descended on Jace's little sister and Krystal risked another glance at Jace.
His light brown eyes met hers. Thank you, he mouthed, nodding at his sister. When he looked at Heather, it was with so much love. He seemed…calm. Relieved. Excited. It made sense, needing to have someone he knew by his side. Someone unconditionally on his side he could share this with.
And right then, Krystal knew the truth. None of this was for Heather. She'd done it all for Jace.

Our guide to the Haringey Development Vehicle (HDV)
Over the last couple of years, Haringey Council's plans for the Haringey Development Vehicle (HDV), where they intend to partner with the developer Lendlease, has been a topic of heated discussion across the Tottenham community and beyond. Here's our guide to the controversial plans. Comment below to add your thoughts.
What is the HDV?
The Haringey Development Vehicle is Haringey Council's plan for a 50:50 deal with private developer Lendlease. The partnership would see Haringey Council giving some of its existing land to Lendlease for development which would see Lendlease match this with cash and development expertise.
Haringey Council claim that by keeping a 50% stake, it would enable them to approve every decision, keeping them in control. On their website they state: 'It also means the partners share the returns and we can ensure that our share of profits goes back into other regeneration initiatives, affordable housing and funding the services we provide to residents.'
'As with all local authorities, our budgets have been cut substantially. Since 2010 we have lost funding of around £160m with more cuts to come – by 2020 the council will be around half the size it was just a decade earlier.
'…residents and businesses from around the borough have told us they want new homes, jobs and opportunities. Only by securing private investment and expertise can we hope to redevelop some council-owned land at the scale and pace needed.'
The deal has been proposed as a long term partnership lasting 15 to 20 years and the council has claimed that the first phase would see 6400 new homes built, a new town centre for Wood Green and new jobs for the community.
Who are Lendlease?
Lendlease Group is the multinational construction, property and infrastructure company, headquartered in Australia, behind the controversial redevelopment of the Heygate Estate in Southwark. Lendlease was fined $56million in the US for a 'huge fraud scheme in which it overbilled clients' for over a decade as reported in the New York Times in 2012.
How many council estates might be effected?
The deal, worth up to £2 billion, could involve up to 17 council estates across the borough. The focus in Tottenham is the Northumberland Park regeneration area. The plans could see up to 40% affordable housing being built on the land of the demolished blocks and estates. This 40% includes the allowance for social housing, but no official numbers have been released for social homes.
What impact might the demolition and redevelopment have on Tottenham and the local residents?
In order to build all the promised new homes existing council buildings, currently occupied by council tenants and leaseholders, would be demolished and see the existing residents 'decanted' into alternative accommodation whilst the new homes are built. Although the council promises a right of return for all tenants, the move could be very disruptive to residents and many feel that they would lose connections to the existing community – for some, a place that they have been for decades. The 60% of new homes not at 'affordable' rates would arguably lead to people being priced out of the area.
What's the general consensus of local people?
Many locals, who are aware of the HDV plans, are against the demolition and privatisation of council owned property and land and have joined campaign groups such as Stop HDV, The Two Billion Pound Gamble, Haringey Defend Council Housing and Our Tottenham.
David Lammy, the MP for Tottenham, and Catherine West, the MP for Hornsey and Wood Green, wrote to the then council leader Claire Kober last June raising concerns about the plans. As reported in The Guardian, the letter read:
'In addition to reiterating these concerns, in light of the fire at Grenfell Tower we write today with the utmost urgency to urge caution and call on the cabinet to pause and reflect further on whether entering into a public-private partnership is the correct decision for the borough and its residents.
'In our view no decision should be taken on the HDV until a fully updated business case is evaluated and further work is carried out by an external adviser or auditor to analyse and review the risks relating to the HDV.'
DT filmed a protest organised by Stop HDV and other community groups on 3 July last year which saw a huge march from Ducketts Common (across from Turnpike Lane tube), along Green Lanes, and descended on the Haringey Council head office on Station Road in Wood Green. It was an emotive evening with a large turnout, which stopped traffic – a bus driver even joined in tooting his horn – with people chanting 'no permission for demolition. Stop the HDV!' and 'hands off our homes and our communities.'
The protest was held on the same day that a full cabinet meeting was held on the HDV deal.
What is Stop HDV all about?
Stop HDV is a group of local residents and business owners who have been fighting the HDV. Gordon Peters, part of the Stop HDV group, successfully crowdfunded for a court case last year, the hearing took place in October, which questioned Haringey Council and Lendlease on their 'flawed process of housing demolition and regeneration'.
On 8 February 2018, a judgement was handed down by Justice Ouseley which refused permission to proceed with the claim for judicial review on all grounds. The community group submitted an appeal later that month and there have been no further updates so far.
What happened to Claire Kober and the previous council?
Under the previous council, Claire Kober led Haringey Council for 10 years, and was one of the youngest council leaders when she took the role in 2008 aged 30. At the beginning of 2018, she announced that she would be standing down from her role as council leader and ward councillor for Seven Sisters in the local May elections. It is claimed that a contributing factor was her decision to implement the HDV deal and the opposition towards it. 22 Haringey councillors opposed the scheme and asked Labour's National Executive (NEC) to intervene. The NEC passed a motion requesting the HDV be stopped unless there was more of a consensus, which meant the final deal couldn't be signed. The BBC reported that 'This decision was met with criticism from several Labour council leaders across the country who publicly backed Ms Kober.'
And that, Claire Kober felt 'deeply disappointed.'
She added: 'The sexism, bullying, undemocratic behaviour, and outright personal attacks on me, as the most senior woman in Labour local government, has left me disappointed and disillusioned.'
Recent news has announced that Kober has taken up a role as director of housing at Pinnacle, a housing management group.
Ahead of the local elections in May a number of councillors were deselected. All of them had voted for the HDV. Joseph Ejiofor was chosen as the new leader of the council.
What's all this about Momentum?
The main stream press has reported that it was mainly pressure from leftist Labour group Momentum, and that they were behind the anti-HDV campaign, that lead Claire Kober to quit, but some Tottenham locals see it a little differently. Read Aditya Chakrabortty's explanation in The Guardian.
A new labour council has recently been elected. Does this have any impact on the HDV?
Before the council elections, the previous council promised that no final actions would be taken until the new councillors have been voted in. During the election hustings the potential candidates claimed they were almost certain that the HDV plans wouldn't go ahead after election.
There is yet to be an update on whether the HDV is due to go ahead.
What are the alternatives?
A community-led housing project in South Tottenham, StART Haringey, have been making waves towards community-led affordable housing projects with plans for 800 new affordable homes to go in on the two thirds of the St Ann's hospital site that has been sold. This could lead the way for new community-led housing projects across the country. After heavily campaigning over the last couple of years, StART have managed to persuade the GLA (Greater London Authority) to temporarily buy the land which means that 50% affordable housing will be guaranteed on the site whatever happens. Read our article with StART and details on their update.

Will High Road West still be going ahead?
Subject to planning permission, the council still intends to go into a 50:50 deal with Lendlease for the regeneration and development of High Road West including the Love Lane estate and parts of White Hart Lane. This is a separate project to the HDV but is following a very similar deal.

There are certain formulas that must be used if you are to be successful with SEO and this is actually what professionals in the field use to achieve success with their site optimization.
Hot keywords should be targeted. Keywords that are highly commercial will bring in traffic and improve conversion. Face and dedicate your time to commercial keywords and you will definitely reap dividends before long.
After following the above-listed tips, traffic-generating commercial keywords then also try to use keywords that are non competitive because it will take an audacious effect to break into the top rankings of SEO for highly competitive keywords that have been well optimized even before you knew anything about the internet. Search for keywords in non competitive niche and ignore keywords that are highly competitive.
Brain storm and do a keyword research. Good keyword research may just save your days and months of labour so take your time and do adequate keyword research.
It is also imperative to design a local business listing. This would help you rank higher in your business within your vicinity and locality.

BrainSTEPS
The BrainSTEPS Program was created to build a bridge connecting the medical, rehabilitation, education sectors and families following student (K-12) acquired brain injury (ABI). ABIs can cause cognitive, physical, socio-emotional, and behavioral impairments that impact classroom performance and learning. In 2007, the Pennsylvania Department of Health established the BrainSTEPS Program to address this issue. BrainSTEPS consulting teams support school teams in the development and implementation of educational plans following student ABI.
The original BrainSTEPS model in PA is currently funded by the PA Department of Health and the PA Department of Education, Bureau of Special Education, and is implemented by the Brain Injury Association of Pennsylvania. In 2017, BrainSTEPS was recognized by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) as a national model for educational consultation supporting students and school teams in the development and implementation of educational supports and services following an acquired brain injury.
The Montgomery County Intermediate Unit BrainSTEPS team seeks to support both public and non-public school students as they re-enter school following acquired brain injury. They provide information to families and schools, links to resources, and provide training to school staff to learn more about the impacts and effects of concussion and other acquired brain injuries.

Yorkshire Chess History
George Adam Battinson
Sheffield Sub-Site
30/06/1841, Halifax
Baptised:
15/08/1841, St. John the Baptist Halifax
1915, (at or near) Exeter
Buried:
Non-Chess Life
George Adam Battinson was born on 30/06/1841, at Halifax, to Adam Battinson, a mechanic, and Lydia Battinson. He was baptised on 15/08/1841, at St. John the Baptist Halifax, and it is the baptism register which supplies the date of birth.
The 1851 census found George lodging at a school run by John and Martha Crowther, in Shelf, about 4 miles SE of Bradford, along the road to Halifax. This school was a small affair with the scholars made up of three of the Crowthers' children, a grandson, and five Halifax-born boarders of whom 11-year-old George was one.
He is elusive in the 1861 census, but he pops up in poll books, where he is placed at Park Terrace, Halifax, from 1869 (or before) to 1870.
On 31/03/1869, 27-year-old bachelor machine wool-comber George Adam Battinson of Halifax, son of Adam Battinson, machine wool-comber, was married by John Parmiter, at St. John the Baptist, Halifax, to 27-year-old spinster Eliza Wood of Halifax, daughter of Benjamin Wood, chemist and druggist. The couple appear to have had no children.
The 1871 census found George and Eliza living with on servant at Craven Edge, Hopwood Lane, Halifax. George was now a "master wool comber by machinery" employing 32 men and 9 women. In other words he owned and ran a factory which combed wool mechanically rather than by hand.
Poll books place George Adam Battinson at Craven Edge from 1871 to 1874, then at 6 Savile Mount, Halifax, from 1875 to 1882, although he had moved to Bradford by 1881.
The next ten years saw George change home and job. Accordingly, the 1881 census found George and Eliza living, with one servant, at 3 North Park Terrace, Manningham, Bradford, with George listed as a share-broker. This suggests he still owned at least two properties in 1881.
A poll book places George Adam Battinson at 8 North Park, Bradford, in 1883.
These Battinsons are elusive in the 1891 census. They may have already decamped to London.
The 1901 census found George and Eliza living in a lodging house at 5 Templeton Place, Kensington, London. George was described as a stockbroker.
The 1911 census found the couple in a similar lodging house at 11 Earl's Court Square, Kensington. 69-year-old George was described as a gentleman of private means, and so had retired from work.
George Adam Battinson died in 1915, at or near Exeter. The death was registered in the third quarter of the year as being at age 73. He'd be 74 on 30/06/1841, hence he must have died in late June 1915.
He seems not to be evident as a chess-player in Halifax.
He played for Bradford in the 1882 Leeds v Bradford match.
He one of those playing in the 1882 D Y Mills blindfold "simul" in Bradford.
He played in the 1883 Yorkshire v Lancashire match.

The National Museum of Metaponto contains the rich heritage of archaeological materials found in the Greek colony of Metaponto.
The various stages are reconstructed in the museum: the first prehistoric manifestations, the arrival of the Greeks in the V century B.C., the development of the colony of Metaponto between the rivers Bradano and Basento, the Romanization.
Local handicraft and refined decorated rounded Italian-Mycenaean vases are shown in the rooms. A lot of this materials were manufactured directly on the spot by craftsmen emigrated to the west.
An area is devoted to weapons, personal ornaments, a lot of which made of bronze, both for men and women; the latter are particularly precious.


Satin Foam Rollers is rated 2.2 out of 5 by 29.
Salon Care Satin Foam Rollers feature a satin cover that eliminates tangles and prevents breakage. These rollers are comfortable enough to sleep in and will not dry out hair. Salon Care Satin Foam Rollers can be used on wet or dry hair or any hair type. The stain eliminates the need for end papers.
Rated 1 out of 5 by namesping from Quit Buying from this company. I have foam rollers that are 30 years old and are still together and work. My hair is much longer now so I needed new rollers. These are JUNK. Everytime you start to roll up your hair the clamp falls off. How cheap is that. I've tried to think of ways to save them , Shoe goo, even super glue. Nope doesn't work. Throw them away SALLY's BEAUTY SUPPLY. I'm assuming this company has outsourced to a China company to make the rollers. They need to change their outsourcing.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Nohappycurls from Worst curlers ever I bought these curlers from Sally's assuming they were going to be a decent product carried by their store, but boy was I wrong! I have never been so mad while curling my hair in my entire life. EVERY SINGLE curler broke while trying to curl my hair!!! My hair is flat ironed with loose curls so I can't blame my hair. If it weren't so late at night and I was already in my pjs, I would have travelled the 25 minutes to return them to Sally's that night! I can't believe they would associate their store with such a cheap product!
Rated 4 out of 5 by Thick and bouncy curls from Rollers fine, fasteners trash The rollers are fine...easy to sleep in and satin-like covers ward against hair breakage. The fasteners are useless...don't even bother. Remove the so-called fasteners, throw them into the trash (or mail them to the manufacturer if you're a statement maker), and use extra long bobby pins instead. 18 bobby pins available for less than $2.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jens Friend from Works great As soon as I buy these, I throw the clamps away. Always use bobby pins with these rollers. Can't see how the clamps would work with the satin cover; the pink ones we use to buy did not have the cover and the clamps worked fine. Didn't use the clamps then either. Even if I sleep on these every night, they last a reasonable amount of time. No foam roller will last forever. Try pins. . .
Rated 1 out of 5 by EmemdmeEm from Worst money spent The clips fall out, one of the tabs broke altogether. They were nearly impossible to clip and I was so frustrated using them I almost quit trying. I've used them once and will be returning them. They are not only the worst foam rollers I've ever used, they may well be the worst product on which I've ever spent money.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Moniquexx from Dont waste your money I am very mad. I like everyone else should have read the reviews first. 2 brand new packs and every single clasp fell off before I even put the roller to my head. Do not waste your time or money.
Rated 1 out of 5 by LaLlorona from Nope Like everyone else reviewing, I was unlucky enough to have purchased these in-store without checking the reviews first. They are absolute rubbish. The hinges don't work, the satin cover doesn't really add anything, and they're 4x the price of other, better foam rollers. Please stop selling this garbage, Sally.
I'm looking for 2 inch foam/sponge rollers...I've purchased them before at Sally's, but can't seem to find them now. I prefer black.

Singles Spin #5
on Jun 23, 2019 Jun 23, 2019
So what's the latest singles in Singles Spin #5? Check out the latest from:
Diplo's Major Lazer premieres the music video for Can't Take It From Me. Directed by Irrum, the video stars Skip Marley and the iconic Major Lazer figure as the High Priest of Lazerism. Of the video Irrum says, "The visuals were inspired by my garden in Walthamstow and the stories hidden in the paintings of Alberto del Pozo. I teamed up with the art poet Luis Luino for the production design, and it was shot by my good friend and frequent collaborator Andres Arochi."
Can't Take It From Me marks the reappearance of the Major Lazer character from the beyond (designed by Ferry Guow). Major Lazer has found enlightenment and given up his physical body, returning to spread the message of Lazerism with the help of Diplo, Walshy Fire and the Lazer Gyals. His message has taken the form of music and his teachings the form of songs for Diplo and Walshy to put down on records. He anointed the Lazer Gyals as high priestesses of dance. Together they will spread his message near and far.
Perth electronic-pop purveyors Web Rumors' new offering, We Don't Need A Hero, employs a cache of hooks and synth sounds that make the prospect of the band's forthcoming debut LP release even more enticing.
A compelling follow-up to the April-released single, Sinner (For Your Love), We Don't Need A Hero combines a more reflective tone with an irresistibly unifying chorus. The song's buoyant synth bass line holds firm in the wake of more heavenly keyboard layers while singer/song writer Em Burrows' distinctive contralto sits confidently at the sonic centre, imbuing it with new wave authority.
The song itself reflects on the cult of personality and celebrity that has always existed but is presented and powered even more so in this tech-driven, social media age.
"We elevate people to saviour-like positions," ponders Burrows. "We're pinning hopes on them, absolving ourselves of responsibility, and becoming disconnected from what is around us. The song is about looking past appearance to what is real and important."
Bat For Lashes — aka Natasha Khan — will release her fifth studio album, entitled Lost Girls, on September 6th, 2019 via AWAL Recordings. The album's first song, Kids In The Dark, is available to hear now
The delicious first single Kids in the Dark sets the scene, with its opulent haze of 80's synths and stuttering disco beats, but nothing in this topsy-turvy world is quite as it seems. Jasmine leaves eerie clues – "a body bag/ on eucalyptus hill, and the Hollywood forever and the endless sleeping pills", while even at its most outwardly pop. In the pristine The Hunger or the swooning So Good, there is an underlying menace and heightened sensuality, with Khan singing about "an addiction that I cannot fight…a drug that never numbs this pain". Then there's the soaring Desert Man, which lays bare the push and pull of burgeoning romance, with Khan resolutely declaring "love is a nowhere land".
Theresa Rex started making a name for herself when she did the vocals for Martin Jensen's Solo Dance. Now she's released a couple tracks of her own and this one, Like I Love You is off to hot start, achieving all key pop playlists on DSPs and a plethora of New Music Friday's on Spotify.
Danish rising star Theresa Rex releases her single solo single following on from her recent collaboration with Jonas Blue on What I Like About You. Also the voice behind Martin Jensen's single Solo Dance, which was a bonafide international hit, sitting at over 580 million streams across platforms. With only 3 official tracks, her stream count already sits over 600+ million, with worldwide chart rankings, and several gold + platinum certifications.
Nicki Minaj has dropped a new single along with its music video. Check out MEGATRON below.
The track is Nicki's first solo single since she released Queen last year. She shared music videos for the LP's Chun-Li, Bed, Ganja Burn, Barbie Dreams, Good Form, and Hard White. The song centres on a reference to Transformers antagonist Megatron – a fitting follow-up to Chun-Li, another song where Minaj compares herself to a video game character. "They call me Megatron, shorty's a mega con/It ain't about the race either, it's a marathon," she raps on the second verse.
GRAMMY nominated, multi-platinum singer/songwriter Shawn Mendes and GRAMMY nominated Cuban born multi-platinum singer/songwriter Camila Cabello reunite for their fiery new single, Señorita, via Island Records.
The song was written by Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello alongside Andrew Watt, Benny Blanco, Ali Tamposi, Charli XCX, Jack Patterson, and Cashmere Cat. Señorita was produced by Andrew Watt & Benny Blanco, with additional production by Cashmere Cat.
To coincide with the new single, Shawn and Camila also released the official music video for Señorita, directed by Dave Meyers.
There seems to be no slowing down for Dean Lewis. After what has been a phenomenal few months promoting his GOLD selling debut album, A Place We Knew, the Sydney artist releases his Stay Awake (Live At The Forum, Melbourne 2019) video. Filmed at his sold-out Melbourne show on his recent A Place We Knew Australian Tour, the live video was shot by Sean Vandenberg at The Forum Theatre on the second night of his three sold-out Melbourne Shows.
As an artist always willing to share his stories with his fans, last month Dean released The Making of A Place We Knew which can be viewed here. The black and white short documentary takes viewers behind the scenes of the making his #1 ARIA Album and includes never seen before footage of recording in various studios. Filmed in Sydney, Byron Bay and Los Angeles the video is directed by Dean's brother, Sean.
The VANNS are gearing up for a massive second half of 2019 with the release of their striking new single, Mother. Taken from their long-awaited debut album, The VANNS have served up another slice of commanding indie rock and roll, further solidifying their status as one of the east coast's most exciting bands.
Though a strong standalone single, Mother fits perfectly into the narrative of The VANNS' next collection of music; a record that has seen writers Jimmy Vann and Cameron Little broker a new dynamic within their shared musicianship, songwriting that has been born out of similar experiences and emotional journeys. "If the album has any kind of overarching, spinal theme running through it, it's Jim and I coming together and writing about similar experiences we've gone through. It's a relationship record and it's a break-up record; and it's about being in your early-mid twenties and trying to understand and navigate through both those things." Cameron Little
Set to take the stage this week for a series of rare performances in Melbourne, Sydney (sold-out) and Brisbane, Washington shares the cinematic vision for new single Dirty Churches.
Captured by acclaimed director and partner in crime, Nick Waterman, the elegantly produced visual accompaniment is rich with iconography, grace and glamour. Conceived in a matter of days, the production for the video was largely improvised in the moment. "Any space can be sacred, any place can be holy, magical, a portal to a transcendental dimension," muses Washington of the clip.
Australia's What So Not (Chris Emerson) and rising artist Diablo (Sebastian Baldeon) share their collaborative single OOGAHDAM! An official music video, directed by Justin Frick will be revealed shortly. This infectious party record is sure to be played throughout this summer's festival circuit. OOGAHDAM! is the first collaboration from What So Not & Diablo, birthed from a 4am home studio session, it ventures into a [way] "uptempo jump up" anthem.
"For me 2019 is about being free and spontaneous," says Chris Emerson, the Australian artist, producer and DJ aka What So Not. "It's getting back to: This feels right for this moment. Let's put it out in the world now." It's a big change for the artist who last year made his biggest, boldest statement yet with the release of Not All the Beautiful Things and continues with this single, OOGAHDAM! made with producer/DJ Diablo.
Rudimental have joined forces with The Martinez Brothers on fresh new peak-time club track, Sitigawana. Taken from a new five-track Rudimental EP due for release in July, Sitigawana is aimed squarely at the floor, pairing a solid, locked groove with tribal percussion, entrancing vocals – sung in Chichewa by Malawian artist Faith Mussa – and slick guitar chords.
Faith was originally invited to Rudimental's studio after Piers attended one of his shows in London in 2018, where the band recorded a track for his forthcoming album on Beating Heart. The vocals recorded that day proved the perfect addition to a collaboration the band were working on with The Martinez Brothers earlier this year – and Sitigawana was born.
Sacramento, CA alternative hip-hop artist Hobo Johnson has released an explosive new song and video for Typical Story on Reprise Records / Warner Records.
The visual is set in a mansion where Hobo and The Lovemakers, manic partygoers and a motley crew of character in various costumes bring to life Hobo's absurdist vision of a house party. The visual displays his remarkable ability to harness lightning in a bottle and is a harbinger for more to come.
"Typical Story is one of the songs on the album that came together pretty quickly," said Hobo. "I think people will see it as an evolution. I'm really proud of it. If I had to describe what it sounds like to me, it's like if you took the cream that rises to the top and then let that cream sit and rise to the top and separated it again and then let that cream rise to the top and you scooped up that goodness…it sounds a bit like that final layer of cream once you turn it all the way up."
For the last few years Brisbane band, The Rockefeller Frequency have been creating energetic indie-rock music fuelled by anxiety, and an unhealthy fascination with conspiracy theories. Fusing influences such as Refused, The Strokes and George Orwell, The Rockefeller Frequency have recorded their new single, The Rift; a song about reckoning with inner demons in the face of our own mortality.
"Our new song 'The Rift' is about the struggle to accept who you are in the context of a close relationship when you are a very flawed or self-absorbed individual. It's about reckoning with the reality that at our worst, we are mostly just little tyrants fighting to put ourselves first in one way or another, and how it would be to our detriment to allow that type of egotism to go unchecked. It's not all bad though. There is love out there, and that is worth everything." Joshua Eckersley (vocals)
YUPPY is a baby of the internet age. Sonically, it suggests a wide range of musical influences but feels nostalgic and familiar all at once. Think dream-pop meets lo-fi hip hop beats and flow. Vocal transformers and pitch shifters help take the listener to an almost dream-like state. It is short and sweet, and loveable. For fans of Gus Dapperton, Tyler, the Creator, and , Zack Villere.
"The debut single, "Top Down", sounds like ur driving a cloud as if it's a car – sorta like how it feels when u meet someone real special (or chew 5 Gum)! Top Down's got everything – love, toy lamas, and a reference to Johnny Drama from Entourage (remember that guy?). We hope u enjoyyy it!"
In Control is the new single released today from Baker Boy. Hotly in demand, the Melbourne- via – North East Arnhem Land artist co-wrote the single with award-winning writer/producer and multi-instrumentalist Pip Norman (Troye Sivan, Tuka, CXLOE). Featured on the freshly baked track is the T.I.M.E (Thornbury Instrumental Music Experience) Crew of Thornbury Primary who contribute their raw and energetic vocals to the track.
Rapping in his native language Yolngu Matha, Baker Boy says of his new single, "In Control encourages not only kids, but everyone to be brave and confident in taking control of their futures. No matter what challenges they're facing or how many times they've been knocked back, it's about having the right mind set and supporting yourself to be the very best version of who you are and to achieve all your dreams, no matter how young or old."
