CFCS Ch. 196: Anyang Saga (17)
When Jing Yang tore off the mask from his face little by little, everyone looked at him, and most of them were stunned because they couldn't understand the situation, and some people were curious. It was because of curiosity that they stared at Jing Yang with wide eyes, because they felt that if Jing Yang's identity was really that of an ordinary person, it would not be possible for him to appear here at this time.
Jing Yang tore off the mask, revealing a bright and moving face with delicate facial features, many people gasped, as they were all amazed by this beautiful face.
Many old officials were surprised at first, and then found it familiar. A face like this was definitely rare in the world. If they had seen it before, it was absolutely impossible to forget it. But this feeling of being very familiar but not being able to remember who it was for a while made them very puzzled.
Su Huai should be the first person present to recognize who Jing Yang was. He stared at Jing Yang in disbelief, constantly denying his own thoughts in his heart. He told himself that it was impossible, absolutely impossible, that person was already dead, he saw him buried, how could he come back from the dead and appear here, he must be mistaken, these two people just had to be somewhat similar.
Jing Yang looked around at everyone in the hall. Seeing expressions of shock or confusion on their faces, he slowly said, "I am An Yang."
"No! You are not!" Su Huai particularly and excitedly shouted, "An Yang is already dead, I killed him with my own hands, and I watched him be buried with my own eyes. How could you be An Yang?! You are fake, impersonating!"
In shock, the dazed ministers were pulled back to reality by Su Huai's shouting. They also found it a little bit unbelievable, how could someone who had died and had been buried be alive again and appear here. Because they thought it was impossible subconsciously, they didn't recognize him as An Yang the first time.
"Everyone!" King Annan stood up again and said to the ministers, "Blessed by the late emperor, the child of our Great Chu did not die, he is back!"
Those ministers, were in a state of you look at me, I look at you, and they started to talk about it. Although it was hard to believe that someone dead had back to life, but thinking about it carefully, the face that was too similar to the king and queen of the previous dynasty, except for the emperor An Yang, there could be no one else.
Su Yongsheng was also very shocked at the beginning, but after the shock, he still didn't believe that Jing Yang was An Yang, "I don't know where you found this person who looks similar to the previous king and queen, but he definitely can't be An Yang. At that time, more than a dozen imperial doctors had already concluded that An Yang was dead, and those many ministers watched An Yang's burial. How could he come back to life? Your Xue family has already succeeded in seizing the throne. But you still want to use the name of the former emperor to win people over."
"I am An Yang. Back then, Su Huai stabbed me in the heart with a knife. After he left, my father's secret guard gave me the fake death medicine, got me out after my burial and took me to the south. I have been hiding for more than seven years." Jing Yang looked at Su Yongsheng and said, "Do you remember that you came to see me alone and asked me if I know anything about the Dragon Token?"
Su Yongsheng heard Jing Yang mention the Dragon Token, and his heart jumped. He, who was not an emperor at the time, did go to find An Yang alone, and tentatively asked about the Dragon token. And only he and An Yang knew about this matter, not even his father and the Crown Prince. However, he felt that the possibility that An Yang had told other people about it could not be ruled out, so he still insisted on not believing that Jing Yang was An Yang.
The crown prince, who was originally in a state of despair, kneeling on the ground as if his soul had been taken away, suddenly raised his head and stared at Jing Yang when he heard An Yang's name. He suddenly became emotional, and shouted loudly, "An Yang! An Yang, you are back?! Since you are not dead, why didn't you come to me?!"
The Crown prince wanted to stand up and rush to Jing Yang but was suppressed by the soldiers. Unable to move, he struggled harder, "Let go of me! I'm the prince! You rebellious bastards, let me go!"
Xue Chengyu looked at the emotional Crown prince and said coldly, "Drag him down."
When the Crown prince was dragged out by the soldiers, he shouted "An Yang! Why didn't you come to me! I am the prince, I can give you anything you want! Why don't you come to me! An Yang…"
"These years, your Su family and son have been sitting on the throne of our An family. In fact, not a day have you felt safe, because you know that there are too many people who disagree with you. The most important thing is that you don't have the real dragon token. It is therefore impossible for you to order the four major armies of the east, west, north, south, and south to obey you at a critical moment, let alone open the treasure house of my An family's hundreds of years of accumulated treasures."
Jing Yang took out Xue Chengyu's saber, turned and walked to the dragon chair, then watching the ministers, he said, "At that time, the emperor Gaozu ordered seven skilled craftsmen to create the dragon and tiger tokens together. The dragon token was kept by the emperor, and the tiger token was kept by one of the four generals. When the dragon and tiger tokens are combined into one, you can directly order the four major armies of east, west, north, south, and south, and you can also open the treasure house of my great Chu."
"The Su family went to the palace to murder my emperor brother, and they searched my emperor brother's palace, but the dragon token they found was fake. The Su family has been hiding the truth for so many years, in fact they have been secretly searching for the real dragon token, but they have not found it. Because where is the real dragon token, in this world, only the last of the An bloodline, that is me knows."
Jing Yang activated the luck of the system, turned around and waved the knife in his hand vigorously, the plaque above the dragon chair cracked and fell from the middle, and at the same time, there appeared a golden token with a dragon pattern. Every emperor of Da Chu personally kept fake dragon tokens, and the real dragon tokens were always placed behind this plaque, because no one dared to move this plaque easily, and no one wanted to move it, so this was the safest place.
Jing Yang picked up the dragon token that fell on the dragon throne and turned around. Xue Chengyu took the tiger token from his waist and walked up. The two merged the two tokens together in front of everyone.
If it was a fake token, it could not be merged, which was why the Su family had been looking for the dragon token for so many years, because the fake dragon token was too easy to be dismantled.
Su Yongsheng looked at the dragon and tiger token that had been successfully merged into one and fell to the ground weakly. He originally thought that even if the Xue family and their sons sat on the throne, they would be as restless as them. Sooner or later, there would be others who would take the throne from them. But now, the blood of the previous dynasty had appeared, and the dragon and tiger tokens had merged. If the father and son of the Xue family revived the great Chu of the previous dynasty, completely wiped out their Su clan and their Da Yan and added the reputation of chaotic ministers and thieves to them, then their Su family would only have a reputation that would be smeared for thousands of years, and they would not even be seen as the real emperor.
King Annan took the lead to pay homage to Jing Yang, and all the other officials knelt down to pay homage with him. The old officials who were loyal to Da Chu were especially excited, and they almost cried.
Su Huai looked at the high-ranking officials who were all paying homage to Jing Yang. He didn't even have the strength to be jealous. It was just an indescribable pain in his heart. When he was the emperor, he had never been treated like this. The most powerless and unacceptable thing for him was that he had been losing to the same person seven years ago and he still lost to him seven years later.
The despair in Su Huai's heart at this moment was even more serious than when he knew that he could not continue to be the emperor. An extreme sadness flooded his heart. He felt that fate was too unfair to him, why did he let him lose to him again and again, to the one he didn't want to lose to. He could give his everything, even his soul could be sold, why couldn't he be allowed to win once?
"Ah!!! Ah!!!" Su Huai cried out in pain, holding his head in his hands. Many, many pictures kept popping up in his mind. Although he couldn't see clearly, those pictures made him feel very painful and the pain kept growing. The pain was enough to cause his brain to explode, and now he just wanted to die and seek relief.
Su Huai suddenly started hitting the ground with his head, and he started bleeding after a few hits, but he didn't seem to be able to feel it. In order to relieve the pain in his head, he kept hitting the ground with his head.
Jing Yang stared coldly at Su Huai, who was in constant pain. He didn't feel any sympathy in his heart. He had been his enemy for so many lifetimes. Although he didn't know why the two of them had to fight each other in every lifetime, no matter what the reason was, he had to be the winning side.
Both the Su family and their son were taken down. Jing Yang and Xue Chengyu father and son had completely controlled the situation and become the final winners.
All males of the direct line of the Su clan were beheaded, while all males from the collateral lines were exiled, females from the direct line were imprisoned for life, and females from collateral lines were punished to serve as official slaves.
Su Huai was locked in the prison. Every day and every night he shouted, the jailer couldn't stand the trouble, so he was beaten, and he stopped when he didn't have the strength to make trouble. In less than half a month, Su Huai went completely crazy.
As expected by Su Yongsheng, Xue Chengyu and his son did not establish a new national title, but directly restored the national title of Da Chu. After everything settled down, King Annan had fulfilled his wish to avenge the first prince and recapture the An family's country, so he returned to the mountains and forests alone.
Although the country title of Great Chu was restored, there was a rule that females were not allowed to be emperors in this world, so Xue Chengyu became the emperor. But his and Jing Yang's two children were surnamed An and Xue respectively, so he could actually be regarded as an acting emperor, but he himself didn't care about these things. All he wanted was his child to grow up quickly, so he could go back to seclusion with Jing Yang early and live in a two-person world with him.
Xue Chengyu had the means and ability, and it was no problem for him to be the emperor, but he had led the army for many years, and had long become accustomed to the iron and blood style.
The ministers couldn't help worrying that Xue Chengyu seemed to have a tendency to become a tyrant, but whenever Xue Chengyu got angry and wanted to severely punish those officials who he disliked, his anger disappeared the next day after returning to the harem, and it was time to rectify it. He would punish who should be punished, but there would never be excessive punishment. For those civil servants who wanted to restrain him with various major principles, he ignored what he could ignore, and tried to find a way to make them return to their hometowns if he couldn't ignore them.
Jing Yang's life was the same as in previous lives, except for lethargy, he was basically healthy and had not been sick much. He thought that the second half of his life would be the same as the previous lives, and he would grow old slowly with Xue Chengyu, and then leave this world without any regrets.
But in this life, he had just reached middle age. When he was taking a nap one day, before falling asleep, he suddenly thought that he would definitely be able to grow old happily in this life, and he could leave without any regrets. But after he fell asleep, he did not wake up again, but returned directly to the system.
Jing Yang was still wondering why he left so early in this life. Before he had time to think carefully about the reason, he had already been sent to the next world by the system.
T/N: And with this, we come to the end of this arc…. How did you like it?

** DISPUTED ** Firefox 1.5.0.7 on Kubuntu Linux allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a long URL in an A tag. NOTE: this issue has been disputed by several vendors, who could not reproduce the report. In addition, the scope of the impact - system freeze - suggests an issue that is not related to Firefox. Due to this impact, CVE concurs with the dispute.
20061107 Disclaimer: The entry creation date may reflect when the CVE ID was allocated or reserved, and does not necessarily indicate when this vulnerability was discovered, shared with the affected vendor, publicly disclosed, or updated in CVE.


Notes: This card (in HP nw8000 notebook) worked perfectly with older versions of madwifi/kernel however doesn't work with the new ones. The driver loads ok and everything seems to be just fine on software side but the wireless LED never lights up and no connection can be ever made. Last tested with madwifi 0.9.2 and kernel 2.6.15.
Other Notes/Resolution: If the card doesn't work, press the button to turn on/off the wifi once, and see if it starts working. The button is hardwired; while the LED is software based, and needs to be configured to work. Works fine in kernel 2.6.16 madwifi 0.9.2.


5:20am: Wake up. Gah. Gaaah.
5:40am: Arrive at the shop, begin packing bags and filling in the boat list.
11:20am: Back at the shop, wash gear and fill in log books.
11:30am – 11:45am: lunch break!
6:30pm: Finish up, go home, have dinner and do my utmost not to end up naked and dead on the beach.
Life on Koh Tao has been mostly interesting. A fat Burmese woman threatened to have me followed and beaten after I reported a theft, I learned to ride a semi-manual bike and rode it to the top of a mountain without injury, I got attacked by triggerfish twice, I made and lost a dozen close friends and picked up crochet and the ukelele.
A divemaster on Koh Tao can earn somewhere between 12k and 30k baht per month ($350/£225 – $890/£560), which is more than enough to sustain you (and enough to save if you are thrifty).
Bringing customers to the dive school earned you a commission of 10%. I convinced 5 people to dive with my school and earned 5,400 baht.
Someone quit their DM course without finishing, and I obtained their crew pack for 1,000 baht.
Buy secondhand! Unless you're a professional, in which case you should really buy new.. which I will do when I have some money.
Shared bathroom, cold shower, manual toilet, no wifi, no overnight guests, and a room measuring just 3x4m. Ticks all of the boxes.
I ate rice and bananas a lot, and I rarely ate western food. a budget of 60 baht per day is doable (especially when the street vendors start recognising you and give you extra portions). Food costs a lot more on the island as everything has to be brought in daily by ferry. A meal costs between 30 and 80 baht for Thai food, and 120 – 800 baht for western food.
I don't drink, I rarely went out and there is nothing to do on Koh Tao except drink and party. Hiking is free, swimming and snorkelling are all free!
Motorcycle rental from a friend: 1,500 baht per month.
Petrol adds another 350 baht per month.
My course took me 3 months to complete. Some people do it in 2, but the longer it takes the better prepared you'll be.
To actually find a job, you need to be proactive. Put CVs out to all of the dive shops (and put 'updated' ones in every few weeks) and hang around often enough that they recognise you. They will keep calling you back if you are cheerful and professional.
Life on Koh Tao has its downsides though. Tourists are disrespectful toward Thai Culture, most foreigners working here know virtually no Thai, and you really start to notice the lack of interesting things to do after several months here.
In Australia, you can train for free in exchange for a month's work. This might be a better option for some people.
– The PADI Divemaster course is more rigorous and allows you to do more once qualified (Scuba Reviews / Scuba Tune-ups / Discover Scuba Diving Leadership / certifying skin divers). SSI DM course fees are higher too (35,000 baht).
– Don't adopt a dog. Do not trick a living and loyal creature into relying on you when you will abandon it after 5 months.
– Enjoy being able to do whatever you want (like skip the morning dives due to a hangover), because it won't last. As soon as you start working, you need to be where you've promised to be. It's perfectly possible to vomit through a regulator; tell your customers it's food poisoning if you want to maintain that veneer of professionalism. I personally have- hand on heart– never dived with a hangover.. because I've never had a hangover.. because I don't drink… which is how I manage to keep my food budget so low.
Hi Lana – I like that your posts are blunt and honest, not only depicting the awesomeness of travels. Enjoy and keep us posted.
Thank you! I think when you settle in a place and start working (and then can't just arbitrarily give yourself a day to do nothing) the glossiness starts wearing off and you see all the not-so-great parts.
it sounds like you might be a badass. keep living the dream, even as it morphs into new locals.
Teehee, thank you! I certainly don't feel like a badass each time a cockroach runs over my feet while showering.. but there are no witnesses so hopefully I can keep up the pretense.
This post was a ride from start to finish and i'm thinking that learning how to crochet while becoming a Divemaster should go somewhere on your CV, definitely.
Also, while i'm not much for drink either, I think I know a few people who will relish in the fact that it IS possible to chunk through a regulator, and while I hope none of them will ever dive while hungover, it's a useful bit of information to pass along.
I got very distracted by things and let blogging fall to the wayside. So much to catch up on, and so much to see on yours too! Eek, congratulations on the house!!
To add to the vomit thing: if you're anywhere near the reef, a swarm of fish will come along and gobble it all up. Certainly makes for an interesting few minutes.
I must be wonderful to be young and have all those exciting adventures! I am living vicariously through them. Thanks! You will have wonderful material to use books later. Keep living your dream.
Thank you! Glad to hear you're enjoying it!
This is really interesting, thank you! It's so refreshing to read an actual breakdown of someone's budget, I totally get why people are shy about posting money stuff but it's great to see how these things actually work. Diving has been a dream of mine since I was a child, one day I'll do it I'm sure!
I know! Travellers on the road are quite honest I've found when it comes to money (and actually, I frequently get asked by colleagues how much I spend on rent without any shame). If you decide to come and dive on Koh Tao, drop me a message and I'll take you around!
Thanks, I will! 🙂 And if you're ever in London, feel free to do the same!
Nice post! That's a great breakdown. I would love to dive one day. That 5:20 am wake up call would be difficult for me though.
Not all dive schools start the day so early- some go out as late as 7:30am.. just ask them before signing up, hah. Diving is great fun- you should definitely give it a go one day!
After weeks of stalking your blog, you've finally updated it with posts of koh Tao – you definitely have to update more so I can live vicariously through you. Missing you and the Asia divers guys!
Hey, cat lady! Yes I have. I also have a ton of other posts from Laos still to publish..
Also, it's linked! I don't drink, therefore have zero tolerance, so then on the extremely rare and blue moon occasions that I do, I don't react well, which discourages me from further drinking.
I only can say: you're amazing Lana! Keep up the good work!
Thanks for sharing your experience as a dive master man!
Awesome post. I've thought many times of doing a dive master internship like this. You mentioned being able to get free dive master training in Australia in exchange for a month of work, do you have any more details on that?
I haven't got any details, but you could try contacting schools/liveaboards directly and asking? I know quite a few people who have done this (and gone all the way to instructor actually) so it definitely exists! Good luck!

JNU BBC Documentary: Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) has once again become an arena. There was a lot of ruckus in JNU late on Tuesday night over the screening of the controversial documentary prepared by BBC on Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The students alleged that the university administration cut off electricity and internet connection. He then watched the documentary on his mobile phone. On the other hand, the university administration says that the power supply was interrupted due to a technical fault, which is being rectified. There are also reports of stone pelting between student groups.
Leftist students held a screening of the government-banned documentary 'India: The Modi Question' in the lawns of the Student Activity Centre. Even before the screening, there was a power cut on the campus. After this the students shared the link with each other on mobile and started watching the documentary on laptop-mobile under the light of mobile torch. JNU Students Union President Aishe Ghosh alleges that students belonging to ABVP pelted stones at her during this period. Police also reached the campus on the information of ruckus. On the other hand, angry students took out a protest march from the campus to Vasant Kunj.
Aishe Ghosh said, "ABVP has pelted stones. Despite this, no action has been taken by the administration so far. We have almost completed the screening of the film, our priority is to restore power here. We have lodged a complaint against 25 people. The police have assured that they will investigate. Those who have been hurt will also record their statement at the police station tomorrow after treatment. We will also complain to the JNU administration.
At the same time, on this whole controversy, Delhi Police says that if any complaint is received from any section of JNU, it will take appropriate and necessary legal action. An official of the JNU administration said on the condition of anonymity, "There has been a serious fault in the power supply line in the university. We are probing it. The engineering department is saying that it will be resolved at the earliest.
Students who gathered outside the Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union (JNUSU) office to watch the documentary claimed that stones were pelted at them when they were watching it on their phones. However, a senior police officer said that no such incident was reported to the police. There was also no immediate official response from the JNU administration on the allegations and claims of the students. He had said on Monday that the students' union had not taken his permission for the event and it should be cancelled.
All India Students' Association (AISA) national president N Sai Balaji claimed that students downloaded the documentary on their mobile phones through an online application to watch and share it. Asrar Ahmed, who went to watch the documentary, said, "We were watching the documentary peacefully on our phones, but some people threw stones at us. Due to darkness, the stone pelters could not be identified.
A student said, "The JNU administration has cut off electricity and internet. We shared the documentary with other students and are watching it together." Balaji also claimed that plainclothes policemen were roaming the campus. However, there was no immediate reaction from the police.
The Jawaharlal Nehru Students' Union (JNUSU) comprises members of the Left-backed Democratic Students' Federation (DSF), All India Students' Association (AISA), Student Federation of India (SFI) and All India Students' Federation (AISF). The government on Friday directed Twitter and YouTube to block links to the documentary titled "India: The Modi Question". The Ministry of External Affairs has dismissed the documentary as a "propaganda ploy". The government says it lacks impartiality and reflects a colonial mindset.

A: As mentioned in the comments, you are calling the mysqli connection inside a function and then ask for mysqli_fetch_assoc() outside of the 'Scope' of the function.

*

*learn scope http://php.net/manual/en/language.variables.scope.php
You can
-Move your while loop inside your function and return an 'copy' of the array ( memory suck up).
-or-
Create you connector in the global scope and call 'global' in your function to fetch the data (cpu suck up) -or- move everything all tohether in the global scope.

A: SInce you said you do not have any errors, try the following:
1- Run your query manually via your phpmyadmin and see if you get any results.
2- PAss your connection variable as a global variable. Read more on variable scopes here to better understand the concepts involved
 function filterTable($query){
   global $connect;
      $connect = mysqli_connect("localhost","root","","linuxcommanddictionary");
      $filter_result = mysqli_query($connect,$query);
      // fetch results here as mysqli_query returns true/false.

The Angelines, also known as the Company of Saint Ursula or officially the Secular Institute of Saint Angela Merici, is a secular institute of consecrated women in the Catholic Church founded in 1535 by Angela Merici (ca. 1474-1540) in Brescia, Italy. Their primary focus is the education of women and girls, and the care of the sick and needy. Their patron saint is Saint Ursula. They follow the original form of life established by their foundress in that they live independently, responsible for their own well-being, for which they often have secular jobs, but they formally dedicate their lives to the service of the church. In 1572, some members formed a separate monastic order, the Ursulines.

History
Angela Merici was a member of the Third Order of St. Francis. According to the account of the history of the company, she experienced a call from God to found a community to share this way of life. Among the group of men and women who formed around her due to her spiritual leadership, she soon selected 28 women who wished to commit their lives in this endeavor.

These women, along with Merici, made a commitment of their lives on 25 November 1535, the feast day of St. Catherine of Alexandria, a major female spiritual figure in the Middle Ages. They called themselves the Company of St. Ursula, taking as their patroness the medieval patron saint of education. Continuing to live in their family homes, they would meet regularly for conferences and prayer in common. Merici drew up a rule of life for them. They were to live among the people they served without any distinguishing feature such as a religious habit, and would live outside a cloister. They would meet periodically and to assist at Holy Mass monthly. They also observed the evangelical counsels but did not take vows.

The company grew rapidly, being joined by women from throughout the city. The increasing number of members came to be organized in groups, according to the parish in which they lived, each of them called a company. The group then spread throughout the Diocese of Brescia. One of the early works of the new company was to give religious instruction to the girls of the town at the parish church each Sunday, which was an innovation for the period, having traditionally been left to the local parish priest. Companies soon developed in other dioceses in the region.

In 1538 the company had grown to such an extent that they held their first General Chapter. At this gathering, Merici was elected "Mother" of the company for life. The following year, as her health began to fail, she dictated her Testament and a book of Counsels to regulate the life of the group. She died in 1540.

The company was formally recognized in 1546 by Pope Paul III.

In 1572 in Milan, under Charles Borromeo, the Cardinal Archbishop of Milan, the members of the company there became an enclosed religious order. Pope Gregory XIII placed them under the Rule of St. Augustine. Especially in France, groups of the company began to re-shape themselves into communities of cloistered nuns under solemn vows, and dedicated to the education of girls within the walls of their monasteries.

Expansion
Communities of the company continued to exist and flourish, especially in Italy. In 1810, however, like other religious groups, they were suppressed after the invasion of Italy by the forces of the Napoleonic Empire. Two sisters who had belonged to the company, Elisabetta and Maddalena Girelli, reconstituted the company in Brescia in 1866. Once again, companies began to spread throughout Italy. Legally independent from one another, discussions took place which led to the creation of a Federation of Companies.

By the 20th century, Companies again began to be established outside of Italy. In 1947 the Catholic Church, under Pope Pius XII, recognized the growing strength of lay Catholic spirituality and created a category of secular institute in canon law to provide committed groups of lay people some formal status. The Angelines were established by the Holy See on 25 May 1958 as the Secular Institute of Saint Angela Merici.

Further expansion of the company has continued until today Companies of Angelines are present in 23 countries worldwide. Among the most recent foundations has been one in the United States in 2000, whose members were mentored by the Angelines of Canada and were officially incorporated into the Federation in 2006. Since 2010 a company has been established in Australia under the guidance of the company in France, which is also mentoring Companies in Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Singapore.

This article will explain the difference between both rate types.
The Single Use Rate is the price for your room when only one person books the room. Only certain channels allow us to set a Single Use Rate. Other channels will ignore this rate.
Channels that currently support single use rates are: Orbitz, ClearTrip, Goibibo, LastMinute, Booking.com, Bedandbreakfast.it, Decolar.com/Despegar, Tomas, Bedandbreakfast.eu, Atrapalo, BestDay, Agoda, Reconline, Traveloka, MakeMyTrip, BBPlanet, Ostrovok, Expedia (OBP pricing only), BookVisit, Atraveo, HotelTravel, GTA, TripAdvisor.
The Rate is the price for the full occupancy of the room.
You will notice that we are unable to set other occupancy rates, such as for 3 people, 4 people, 5 people - it's because myallocator cannot set rates for other occupancies.
The "Rate" is considered the "Full Occupancy" rate, and the only other rate we can set is for Single Use.
Can I set other occupancy rates directly on the channels?
The answer is Yes - for those channels that support Rate Plans.
Not all channels support Rate Plans (like Hostelworld, Hostelbookers, and most other hostel-based channels). Other channels do support Rate Plans (like Expedia, booking.com and other hotel-based channels).
For Booking.com - please check this article that discusses how to use Rate Plans for this channel specifically.
For all other channels, please review this article.
How do occupancy prices work with the BookNow widget?
The examples below show the different prices for "Single Use" rate versus the regular "Rate".
1 person is booking the "Private 2 person" room at a rate of $30.00 for Single Use.
The "Total" will be 30.00 since it is just for one person.
2 people are booking the "Private 2 person" room (full occupancy) at the standard "Rate" of 50 for both people combined.
Myallocator can only update two "Occupancy-based" rates: the full occupancy "Rate" and the "Single Use Rate".


Edwin, with its signature selvedge finishes and the iconic ED-55 and ED-80 cuts, is today synonymous with easy-wearing, perfectly-cut jeans that can be relied upon no matter the occasion or season. While the brand is now one of many players in a Japanese denim scene full of exemplary craftsman, this wasn't always the case.
Back in 1947, a good pair of jeans was hard to find in Japan. That all changed when Yonehachi Tsunemi, who had been sourcing his own jeans from the USA, decided to share the wealth and setup a denim import business. By 1961, and decided to give his compatriots a taste of what they'd been missing by creating the first ever pair of Edwin jeans, inspired by the pairs he had so lovingly handpicked from the USA.
After just three years, Tsunemi had created his first classic – the world's heaviest ring-spun denim jean at a hefty 16oz – that always marked the world's first exposure to the three-colour rainbow selvedge that is still held up as a denim icon to this day.
After revolutionising the denim industry in both the 1970s and 80s by pioneering the old wash and stone wash techniques respectively, the brand turned its hand to replicating classic washes from the 40s at the turn of the millennium, again reimagining what a great pair of jeans could be.
Today, the brand still prides itself on this same spirit of inspiration and craftsmanship – always going the extra mile to create washes and cuts that elevate the humble jean into something different entirely.
While Edwin jeans come in a variety of fits, the two most popular, and perennial favourites at the Hip Store, are without doubt the ED-55 with its relaxed, tapered fit and a mid-rise and the ED-80, a more contemporary slim fit with a leg that tapers just so.

Fossils Pick Fights Because They Have No Counter-Arguments: Suzuki
Full Story: David Suzuki Foundation @DavidSuzukiFDN
Primary Author: David Suzuki @DavidSuzuki with Ian Hanington

"When politicians and fossil-fuelled media seize on a few ill-chosen words I or other environmental advocates blurt out, while ignoring our overall messages, it's usually because they have no real counter-arguments," environmental icon David Suzuki writes in a Science Matters post for the David Suzuki Foundation.
"I'm just a messenger, presenting science and solutions in accessible ways," Suzuki says. "And, like anyone who has worked on climate issues for any length of time, I get frustrated at the lethal lack of political and societal action."
But it's rare to see these politicians, media, and businesspeople present a rational argument as to why we shouldn't be doing everything we can to forestall the climate catastrophe scientists worldwide are warning will be our future if we don't act now.
Why can't they come up with honest arguments? If they believe climate disruption is not upon us and not serious enough to compel us to change our ways, that we can continue to exploit and burn fossil fuels until they're gone, then it's up to them to present their rationale. If they disagree with our communications about climate and other environmental subjects, they should respond with logical arguments.
The Alberta government's recent response doesn't meet that bar. It spent C$3.5 million (along with a $30-million/year "war room") on a "public inquiry into anti-Alberta energy campaigns" to defend the most profitable industry in history from plucky environmental groups. It was beset with delays, cost increases, and embarrassments before concluding there was no "wrongdoing on the part of any individual or organization" and that campaigns have not spread misinformation.
Instead of accepting this and moving on, the government and some media spun it to imply it concluded the opposite. We in the environmental movement remain transparent about our communications, funding and aims, and if we make mistakes, we correct them. After all, our goal is a healthier planet for all.
Those who worship money and power will happily manipulate and dupe others to obtain and maintain it. Look at the spew of constant misinformation from U.S. media outlets like Fox, or the ongoing climate science rejection by opinion writers for Canada's PostMedia chain—in service of the fossil fuel industry's continued environmental devastation.
They're holding us back. We've known about the greenhouse effect for almost 200 years and been certain about human climate impacts for more than 30, but the fossil fuel industry and its captured politicians, lobbyists, front groups, and media have convinced many to continue on as if everything is fine.
We've wasted the past 30 years and we're seeing the consequences. All I and others have been conveying for decades is coming to pass. Just ask the people of Abbotsford or Lytton. Look at the billions of intertidal plants and animals wiped out in the summer heat dome. Canadian canola and wheat production are down more than 35% this year because of drought, yet I still hear the anti-environmentalists arguing that more CO2 is good for plant growth, or that warmer temperatures will be good for Canada.
I'd love to be proven wrong, as would, I suspect, every climate scientist and activist in the world. But there's no denying our predicament, so let's work together to resolve it.

Deja Vu All Over Again. Maybe.
July 10, 2017 by Lane Steinberger
The question on everyone's minds these days is whether the market is overheated or if it is different this time. It's an uncertainty reminiscent of the banter during the 1990s stock market bubble; however, the technology bubble decade that peaked in 2000 may not be a fair comparison.
Is this déjà vu all over again? Maybe. Or maybe not.
We should be careful with the definition of "market." There's the U.S. stock market, which represents 50% of the MSCI All World Equity Index. Then there's every other country in the world.
The U.S. market appears to be running out of steam; we've had a nine-year bull market in U.S. large-company stocks. (Yes, nine.) And again this year, the S&P 500 is up approximately 10% with several indications that large-company stocks domiciled in the U.S. are overvalued. As the chart below shows, the U.S. stock market cap, as a percentage of GDP, is as high as the 2000 technology bubble!
Moreover, the cyclically adjusted price-to-earnings ratio (CAPE), a popular valuation metric that uses current price and average earnings over the past 10 years, looks high at almost 30 times when compared to a historical average of 18 or so.
By Farcaster at English Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 3.0, Link
What this movement means
What to make of this? It's hard to tell. This doesn't appear to be the stock market bubble of the 1990s, when the CAPE metric reached close to 45. Also, despite the Fed's efforts to lift short-term interest rates, they're still very low. And long-term rates are barely budging this year (as evidenced by the 10-year U.S. Treasury government bond at 2.2%).
Rob Arnott of Research Affiliates has argued that a more informative approach to viewing the CAPE valuation tool is to control for the economic climate. Thus, based on his data, you would expect higher equity prices in a low-rate environment.
Also, while the stock market profits, as a percentage of GDP, are at their highest point ever, wages (which significantly decrease profits) are at their lowest, as a percentage of GDP, since 1929.
However, you see a much different story outside the U.S. The Shiller P/E (or CAPE) in developed international markets (e.g., Europe, Japan, Australia), hovers around 15 times ten-year average earnings. In emerging markets (e.g., China, India, Russia, South Korea), it's even lower – at 13 times ten-year average earnings. Moreover, currencies outside the U.S. could add an extra tailwind to international stock prices because they've also been depressed by the strong U.S. dollar.
As Rob Arnott states in another article on emerging markets, "Long-term investors have a unique investing opportunity in emerging market assets given the very rare combination of cheap equity valuations, depressed currencies, and positive momentum in equity prices and economic fundamentals." To further the point, Blackrock mentioned in their last research update that Eurozone equities are experiencing a strong earnings season, while the leading indicators of Eurozone growth are at multi-year highs.
Investing in this environment
The next question is how one should invest his or her money given this knowledge. Historically, when stocks have had long bull runs, they tend to be followed by long bear markets.
In my opinion, in moments like this, it's even more crucial to venture outside companies domiciled in the U.S., especially given the uncertainty around valuations. Translation: invest in European, Asian and South America stocks.
One should view our stock market in isolation, considering stocks outside the U.S. have much more attractive valuations and haven't had significant price increases (like U.S. stocks) over the past 10 years. It was a bit more difficult back in 2000 because U.S. and non-U.S. markets were both at record highs. That's not the case now.
As always, markets are unpredictable and we truly don't know how this will play out. Yes, U.S. markets seem high, but this could be justified by low interest rates and high profit margins.
Also, technology could be at play here. In 2000, the largest companies in the S&P 500 were GE, Exxon, Pfizer and Citigroup. Today, they are Apple, Microsoft, Amazon and Facebook. With inflation and wage growth at stubbornly low growth rates in the U.S., it could be that every company is becoming a technology company. You could argue that this is the case considering , workers are being replaced by machines and computers. This combined with outsourcing labor to other countries like China is allowing companies pay lower salaries.
Only time will tell whether the justification for higher stock valuations in the U.S. is warranted. This time could very well be different, but we'll only know in hindsight. Therefore, a prudent, disciplined investor shouldn't overreact by selling all positions in the U.S.
However, it does make sense to shift a portfolio allocation out of U.S. equities markets and pursue one closer to global weights. This means all portfolios should allocate at least 40-50% of their stock investments to companies outside the U.S. and most people can expect to see this in their portfolio.
It's been a strong 2017 so far across global stock markets and the turn in non-U.S. stocks is especially noticeable. U.S. large-cap stocks are up 10% — outperforming U.S. small-caps (up 6%) and U.S. mid-caps (up 7%). However, international developed stocks (EAFE) are up more than 14%, while international small-company stocks and emerging-market stocks are up 17%. Additionally, value stocks are underperforming growth stocks in the U.S. by more than 8%. Although bonds are lagging a bit, they still have returned to almost 3% this year.
There's never a dull moment, is there? Have a great summer and happy investing!

Leeds West Groups (LWG) was founded in 2009 by current CEO and Board of Directors Member, Judd Kyle Shader. Over the years LWG has grown to become one of the largest and most respected leaders in the franchise automotive aftermarket repair space.
LWG has established itself as the only Family Office backed franchise group in the US to manage three unique Automotive Repair Franchised Brands (Midas, Big O Tires, and Speedee Oil).
LWG operates on all three automotive aftermarket repair platforms; general repair, tire repair and services, and quick lube services.
Leeds West Groups (LWG) was founded in 2009 by Judd Shader in Colorado, testing the appetite for well capitalized groups getting involved in the franchise automotive aftermarket, choosing the first test brand as Midas Auto System Experts.
In 2011, LWG expanded with the addition of the Big O Tires brand into the portfolio. By 2012, LWG had built the company's portfolio to include three unique automotive national brands and concepts all master-franchised by TBC Corporation, a sub-entity of Sumitomo Corporation – making LWG the only group to hold and operate all three as they grew their portfolio.
In 2012, LWG launched LWG Realty Group quickly moving the company into its next chapter, with the adding of Real Estate and outside investments divisions. In 2013, the company assembled a specific automotive-focused franchise management team for its growing number of automotive repair locations. Focusing the automotive franchise retail division around the three brands for future growth potential. LWG's automotive aftermarket franchise brand positioning now includes complete auto care service, quick lube, and tire care, which allows LWG the ability to pursue any aftermarket repair retail group concept in the US, all while using major national retail brands to do so.
In the spring of 2013, inside of the automotive franchise retail division LWG announced the largest acquisition in the history of the aftermarket brand Midas Automotive Experts, with the addition of 30 locations in 9 new states officially retiring TBC Corporation's Midas International from the company-owned store business. LWG placed these locations under the LW Division under the umbrella of LWG automotive franchise retail. This same year LWG formalized its Board of Directions with the addition of Joshua Weinreich, Mark Shader, and Benjamin Lefkowitz along with Founder and CEO Judd Shader.
In 2017, LWG announced again the largest Midas acquisition in the history of the brand with the purchase of the ASE Midas Group, a 61-year-old ESOP organization. A top 25 Automotive Aftermarket Group, based out of Davenport, IA with 42 Midas locations across 6 Midwest States, creating the ASE Division under the LWG automotive franchise retail umbrella. This same year LWG added Board veteran David H. B. Smith, Jr to its Board of Directors.
In the summer of 2019, LWG continued to grow within automotive franchise retail with partnerships in the State of Texas with the creation and partnership alongside the Monteverde Group. Shortly after in the Fall of 2019, the Big O division made an entrance into the State of New Mexico and in 2020, Ohio & Kentucky expanding on its Big O Tires locations.
LWG is currently headquartered in Greenwood Village, CO with automotive retail operations in 18 States, 900+ team members, along with real estate holdings and outside investments in 8 States.
United States with 100+ locations within major US cities in Colorado, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, Indiana, Iowa, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Michigan, Delaware, Texas, New Mexico, Ohio & Kentucky.

Lang Lang and Aung San Suu Kyi to be Ambassadors for the Leeds International Piano Competition
Aung San Suu Kyi is to be an Honorary Ambassador, and Lang Lang, the world famous Chinese concert pianist, is to be the Global Ambassador for the Leeds International Piano Competition.
Prime Minister David Cameron has expressed his delight that Aung San Suu Kyi has become the Honorary Ambassador for the Leeds International Piano Competition.
He said: "The Leeds International Piano Competition is one of the great classical music competitions in the world. It's a tremendous advert for Leeds and for Britain as a whole. Aung San Suu Kyi's appreciation of piano playing is well known. It is fantastic that the competition has made this tribute to Daw Aung San Suu Kyi."
The competition's Chairman and Artistic Director Dame Fanny Waterman said that the top prize will be named the Daw Aung San Suu Kyi Gold Medal in recognition of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi's inspiration, courage and hope for humanity and her appreciation of piano playing, saying that "in this special Golden Anniversary Year this is the greatest honour our piano competition has ever received."
The honour bestowed on Lang Lang is in recognition of the tremendous contribution that Lang Lang has made to classical music and the piano throughout the world since he rose to fame in 1994. He has played sold out recitals and concerts in every major city in the world and is the first Chinese pianist to be engaged by the Vienna Philharmonic, Berlin Philharmonic and all the top American orchestras.
Following his acceptance of the Global Ambassador title, Lang Lang was introduced to Dame Fanny Waterman by Sir David Tang (a supporter and major sponsor of the Competition). Lang Lang commented: "I am a pianist performing throughout the world, and I don't think there has been a concert hall around the globe that has not felt the impact of The Leeds International Piano Competition in the great names it has helped on their way. I am truly honoured to be associated with this tradition, and I can only say that Dame Fanny Waterman's vision will live on as a positive force for many years to come. Thanks for the inspiration to all of us."
Lang Lang performed at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Concert at Buckingham Palace this year and also in the Beijing's opening ceremony for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad, where he was seen as a symbol of the youth and the future of China and has inspired over 40 million Chinese children to learn to play the classical piano.
The 17th Leeds International Piano Competition takes place from 29 August to 16 September 2012. Over the last fifty years, the Competition has sustained an enviable reputation for launching the successful careers of some of the world's finest and most eminent pianists of our time.
Tickets for the Competition are £5.00 per session for the 1st and 2nd Stages; £6.00 for the Semi Finals and between £14.00 and £48.00 for the Finals. They are available from www.leedsconcertseason.com or on tel: +44 (0)113 224 3801. For more information about the Competition visit www.leedspiano.com
The Competition is presented in partnership with Steinway & Sons, the University of Leeds, and Leeds City Council.

Students propose fix for busy section of E.C. Row
Four civil and environmental engineering students at the University of Windsor think they have come up with a way to make it safer to travel a heavily used section of the E.C. Row Expressway between Dougall Avenue and Walker Road.
Along that section, the westbound E.C. Row off-ramp at Howard Avenue had more mid-block collisions than any other road monitored for the City of Windsor 2012 Road Safety Report. There were 40 accidents and an average of 10,000 vehicles per day using the ramp from 2008-2012.
"That stretch is dangerous," said 21-year-old student Vincent Colussi. "It needs help. It's going to get worse (as traffic in the area increases)."

Drawing more than 1,000 Ford cars, including Mustangs (Classic, Fox Body, SN95, New Edge, S197, S550), Falcons, Cougars, Thunderbirds, Broncos, and F100s, and thousands of Ford fans, the long-running So Cal show was a massive hit in it's first appearance at Irwindale Speedway!
1955-1970 Ford Fairlane History
by Classic Industries News, on Apr 5, 2021 12:43:06 PM
Photos courtesy of Mecum Auctions, Inc.
The lead photo is of a fourth generation 1964 Ford Fairlane "Baby Bolt" hardtop that has just 9,200 original miles. The Baby Bolt has the same 289 CI small-block V8 with 271-horsepower that powers the K-code Mustangs. This Fairlane is ready for some drag racing, as it's equipped with a four-speed manual trans, Detroit Locker rear end, tow hooks, Sun Super Tach, and gauges. The car has all its original sheet metal and wears almost all its original Burgundy paint.
What's in a name? In the case of the Ford Fairlane, quite a bit. Ford Motor Company Founder Henry Ford and wife Clara lived in an estate on Fair Lane near Dearborn, Michigan. Ford produced the Fairlane from 1955-1970. In this article, we'll look back at Ford Fairlane history across six generations.

Q: Chrome CSS3 border-bottom transition bug Im having a problem inside of Chrome only, tested this inside of Opera, FF, Safari and it all works fine.
I know there was a bug with Chrome 17 with transitions on visited links so I even included that thought to be fix
There is still not animation for the transition on hover for border-bottom.
any clues? am I just not seeing something? I've read around and it all seems to be talking about the color of the text, while i'm trying to transition in the border-color.
I tried to animate in border-bottom from none to 1px solid #9ecd41 but found that in all browsers except firefox had a funky jagged animation where it kinda bounced.
any help would be awesome, attached is the code i'm working with.
Ok here is my html

A: Just styled the
 the way I would of styled the li with widths/heights/padding/border etc and then just styled the link to fill the li and just styled the links colour and font properties. Chrome has small bug on border-bottom for link transitions

A: This aught to be an easy fix.
As far as I can see your problem lies by where you put the transition in.
With chrome it needs to be added to the at most parent.
Try adding it here:

.nav > li {
   display: inline-block;
   margin-right: 20px;
}

Also add the declaration for the -webkit- elements
for ex.

.nav > li {
   display: inline-block;
   margin-right: 20px;
   -webkit-transition: all .5s ease-in;
   -moz-transition: all .5s ease-in;
   -o-transition: all .5s ease-in;
   -ms-transition: all .5s ease-in;
   transition: all .2s ease-in;
   -webkit-transition-property: all;
   -webkit-transition-duration: .5s;
   -webkit-transition-timing-function: ease-in;
}

See if this works and if not I'll try to build something similar and work on a solution.

A: I had this problem with Bootstrap 4 navbar component. My menu links had border-bottom and starting from the second one, all were invisible during menu opening on mobile.
Fixed it with transform: rotate(0); on the element with the border-bottom.


Kiwi Oblong. The kiwi bird is one of the best known New Zealand icons. Kiwi is a distinctive nickname and identity of New Zealanders and as anyone from New Zealand will tell you, they are proud to be kiwi. It is a nocturnal bird that cannot fly and its usual habitat is a forest. The kiwi has remained unchanged for millions of years but despite appearances it is not a mammal. Kiwis are a 'biological oddity' having evolved through New Zealand's geographical isolation and lack of predators.
My image is of the often imagined impression of the Kiwi hiding in a burrow or hollow log and peeking out.

Two very different stories worth following up could be the bleak 'Different Rules' by Sandra Chick and 'Three Fables' by Sunita Manjoshi - a reshaping of traditional stories in a witty, knowing style which could be enjoyably parodied and explored.

Caius Atilius Regulus Serranus est un homme politique de la République romaine de la gens Atilia originaire de Campanie. Il est le fils de Marcus Atilius et le petit-fils de Marcus Atilius, et le frère ou le cousin du célèbre Regulus. Valère Maxime fait venir son cognomen Serranus du verbe serere (semer), car il aurait reçu sa nomination comme consul pendant qu'il semait sur ses terres. Toutefois, on trouve la graphie Saranus sur des monnaies romaines qui serait plus probablement l'indication de provenance de la cité de Saranum en Ombrie.

Biographie
En 257 av. J.-C., il est consul avec Cnaeus Cornelius Blasio, durant la première guerre punique. Atilius rencontre une flotte carthaginoise près de Tyndaris, perd son avant-garde de dix navires mais parvient à forcer les navires carthaginois à se replier vers les îles Lipari.

En 250 av. J.-C., il est consul avec Lucius Manlius Vulso Longus. Par une action coordonnée de la flotte et de l'armée à terre, ils établissent le siège de Lilybée, port stratégique de la côte ouest de Sicile tenu par les Carthaginois, mais la résistance de la garnison carthaginoise parvient à les tenir en échec. Ce siège durera plusieurs années, et dépasse donc la durée de leur consulat.

I haven't enjoyed a weekend at home this much in ages. I tried out another pasta sauce (yum) and cycled through the laundry, in between tea, Persuasion , and Emma . And more pretty rocks arrived. Woot!
Still losing weight, though this cannot now be called the stress and nausea diet. Made it to the gym twice last week, and plan for the same this week. More cookie baking, too, must make up boxes. And dog! elflet and family will be down south for Christmas as usual, so Katja and I will be an item.

:grin: So, I rode Leah last night. We made it home before dark, the round pen was dry(ish), she was clean(ish)...so I ran inside, changed to my (only) pair of breeches and boots, grabbed the saddle; Sweet Geek changed to jeans and grabbed the girth, then we both went outside.
I got the pen ready - removed the water buckets, moved the mounting block out of the way, set up the brushes - while he caught Leah. Got her saddled in record time, tightened my helmet, said a quick prayer ("Help!" :grin:) and...up I went.
She's broke. Broke broke broke. Has NO clue about leg aids, doesn't like having ANY sort of contact on her mouth, and I can't figure out how she steers. She doesn't like direct (English) reining, and neck reining (Western) didn't really work either - I was literally hauling her head around to get her to turn. She's Super Stiff - no flexibility At All in her back. I had to kick the snot out of her to get her to walk (and I was asking her verbally, too - some horses respond to voice cues, some to leg cues..so, dunno what her cues are), trotting...THAT was an experience.
I'm pleased with her - she seems to be child-safe (IF the child has riding experience....I'd trust her with Himself, who has none, but not outside the pen, and not for a bit. She needs tuning up first), and very calm. We got a good deal here!

The Sound & Soul of New Orleans
Former WritersDave Austin - Music ProfessorMUSICGenres
by Dave Austin
Ask someone to name some music from New Orleans, and you'll likely get "When the Saints Go Marching In." However, the Crescent City's contribution to popular music runs as deep and wide as the Mississippi River and spans as many generations and genres as the number of ingredients in a gumbo. Many would contend there's not a Southern city which has had a larger and more lasting contribution to popular music.
Considered the birthplace of jazz, the city's music has branched out and taken on various forms until today, you'll hear seemingly-unlikely styles being played side by side in clubs, on the streets, in live performances and on radio in the area. Although I occasionally get a request for "When the Saints Go Marching In," jazz is no longer on the modern music radar.
Among notables emerging from traditional jazz roots, Louis Prima played trumpet around town, but soon followed his idol, Louis Armstrong, and moved north. Taking styles rooted in the jazz tradition, he swung his hot music well into the rock and roll era. After headlining at the Famous Door in New York City, Prima moved to Las Vegas where he, his band, Sam Butera and the Witnesses, and wife Keely Smith were long-time stars, Prima turned out hit songs ( "That Old Black Magic," for which he won a Grammy,) made TV and movie appearances and was the voice of King Louie in Disney's "Jungle Book."
Following WW II, a new musical style called rhythm & blues came out of New Orleans fueled by prominent local musicians such as Fats Domino. Before long, early rockers were journeying to the city, recording hit songs using local musicians. During the late 1950s and early 60s, Ernie K-Doe, Larry Williams, The Dixie Cups, Aaron Neville, etc. were churning out hit after hit. As this early rock morphed into soul, Little Richard, Fats Domino, Lee Dorsey and Huey "Piano" Smith topped the national Pop and R&B charts under the guidance of legendary songwriter-producer-arranger Allan Toussaint, and helped lay the groundwork for some of the earliest funk bands such as the Meters. Little Richard's sax-fueled touring band is credited by James Brown as being the first to put the funk into rock 'n' roll.
Doom & Trash Metal
During the 1980s, heavy metal began to take shape and the "Louisiana sound" emerged, pioneered by the band Exhorder, which was the first group to combine the sub-genres of doom metal and up tempo thrash metal.
New Orleans also has a rich hip-hop history, beginning with Master P, the city's first mainstream rapper. Throughout the 1990s into today, some of the area's seminal artist include Soulja Slim, C-Murder, Silkk the Shocker and, perhaps the most famous, Lil' Wayne. Spinning out of New Orleans' hip-hop, bounce music commands a substantial following throughout the South. Traditional "call and response" and whistling are essential elements of bounce, and on a number of recent mainstream hits, you'll hear this whistling influence. ("Pumped Up Kicks" by Foster the People, etc.) Atlanta-based artists, such as Lil' Jon and the Ying Yang Twins, frequently incorporate bounce chants into their music. ("Shake that thing like a salt shaker")
A Wide Diversity of Styles
Although many cities have made contributions to modern music, likely none span a wider diversity of styles and have been as long-lasting as New Orleans. In this article, space permitting, I could have also mentioned the various forms of jazz; Cajun, zydeco, blues, gospel, reggae, swing and more – all mixed into the musical pot which makes New Orleans' music so unique. For the world's largest selection of Louisiana and New Orleans music, check out the Louisiana Music Factory.
