VOGEL'S BIOGRAPHY
Vogel is a young rap musician who conquered the audience with the song "Young Love" in the summer of 2019. He does not think to stop there and pleases fans with new songs, sincere and fresh, like the air of Novorossiysk, a city that he considers native.
The real name of the musician, acting under the creative pseudonym Vogel, is Robert Chernikin. The artist was born on July 28, 2001, sung by Vladimir Vysotsky Magadan, but after his parents divorced, he moved with his mother, Marina Chernikina, to Novorossiysk, where he spent his childhood. In the southern city, which became his hometown, Robert entered school No. 21, and Marina managed to get a specialist position in working with children and adolescents in the same school.
In early childhood, Robert withdrew and very shy, but the support of his mother and the work that he always carried out on himself, over time, helped him overcome children's complexes. According to the artist, his mother wanted a better future for him and dreamed of seeing him in public service. In the summer of 2019, in an interview for Like FM Radio, the musician told the presenter Vitalik Mishura that in high school he was fascinated by the idea of opening his own business. After spending a vacation in the Novorossiysk camp for gifted teens, fifteen-year-old Robert created his first business project and became famous as the youngest entrepreneur in Novorossiysk. According to Chernin, the idea to buy faceless T-shirts in the city markets and decorate them with daring inscriptions was born to him spontaneously. In an article posted in the publication "Our Novorossiysk" in the fall of 2016, a young businessman said that his school friends helped him advertise the products, the guys took off in clothes for free that featured Robert's invented logos and inscriptions in rebellious youth style. A friend of the mother, who sewed hoodies according to Robert's sketches, also helped the budding entrepreneur. Despite Chernikin's fierce desire to develop his business, the idea failed, but, according to him, he was not at all upset. The reason why Robert could not realize his plans to open the production of youth clothing was the lack of knowledge in the field of marketing. That is why he decided to go to a specialized college and get an exceptional education. However, these plans did not come true - music broke into the life of a novice entrepreneur.
BEGINNING OF A CREATIVE CAREER
In 2017, Robert tried to win a grant for the implementation of his project, called ChistoPlyazh. According to the young man, the city authorities should not have remained indifferent to the idea of cleaning and improving the beaches of Novorossiysk, but the development project was not received.
At this time, Robert became interested in hip-hop culture. The songs of the rap musician Eminem inspired the writing of their songs. In an interview, Vogel says that he posted his first creations on Instagram and other social networks, and in 2017 he recorded his first collection, but on the Internet, you can not find either the name of the album or the songs from it. As a pseudonym, the young musician chose his mother's maiden name - Vogel. In an interview for the Tête-à-tête YouTube show, Robert said that freedom is the most crucial factor for him, and translated from German, "Vogel" is a bird that is considered the embodiment of freedom in many cultures, which was also the reason for the choice of this stage name.
Even though Robert claims that he gained some fame on social networks even before the appearance of "Young Love", most Russians learned about its existence precisely after the release of this song. At the end of the summer of 2019, the light dance song "Young Love" conquered the Russian Internet, only in the first weeks after posting on YouTube it gained hundreds of thousands of views. A month later, the singer presented his second song, "Remain Dawn," co-written with his longtime friend Roman Danilov, known in the music environment as Dr Shaman, which, however, was unable to break the bar set by the debut song. The composition "Summer 17" and the video clip for it, released in the fall of 2019, confirmed the rise of a new pop star, they began to invite Robert to the show, and his songs entered the top of the most popular on the VKontakte social network.
VOGEL'S PERSONAL LIFE
At a young age, Robert had to endure a painful breakup with a girl. However, he calls any experience positive and says that Max Korzh's songs help him cope with emotions. The young artist calls sincerity and selflessness the main qualities that he most appreciates in people. He values friendship with those people who knew him before his popularity but is open for new acquaintances. Robert entirely agrees with the statement of Irina Khakamada, who claims that friendship and love are almost the same things.
VOGEL NOW
At the end of 2019, Robert moved to Moscow. In an interview for the tete-a-tete show program, he said that it was difficult for him to get used to life in the capital, but he was not shy about his provincialism. In November 2019, Vogel performed at the Moscow Bolshoi rap festival, where he sang the song "Trams Home." In January 2020, the musician introduced his new song. The track "Bitch" posted in the official group on the social network "VKontakte", the number of subscribers of which is growing every day and at the end of January is more than two hundred thousand people.


An excellent companion to the bestseller! This book would be especially beneficial to the new general education teacher. This book is clearly written with target behaviors and interventions outlined in a user-friendly format and terminology. The interventions are simple and easy to implement with no expensive or time consuming materials to purchase or develop. The book is organized into sections making it easy to reference.

Ford's Garage and Capone's Coal Fired Pizza, two downtown Fort Myers restaurant originals, are coming soon to Winter Garden west of Orlando.
Two downtown Fort Myers restaurants are coming to the Orlando area.
Ford's Garage, the now national gourmet-burger chain, will join its sister restaurant Capone's Coal Fired Pizza in Hamlin Town Center in Winter Garden west of Orlando.
Capone's, which specializes in house-made pastas, as well as pizzas, sandwiches and calzones baked in its 800-degree coal-fired ovens, is slated to open this summer. A time frame for opening was not given for Ford's Garage.
Fans of the Fort Myers' Capone's will recognize its 6,000-square-foot Winter Garden counterpart.
The new restaurant will feature the same glass-encased underground "Al Capone vault" that serves as the centerpiece of the 4-year-old restaurant at 2225 First St., Fort Myers (it's actually an old elevator shaft transformed into a kitschy feature).
The Winter Garden location will also continue the original's Prohibition-era theme, with the same wood and iron accents, exposed brick surrounding the coal-fired ovens, Tiffany chandeliers and a speakeasy-style bar. To up the ante, the Capone's operators even hired a photographer to travel to the mobster's jail cell in Alcatraz and get inspiration for the restaurant's bathrooms.
"We want to create a dining experience and not just a meal with all of our restaurants," Marc Brown, president of 23 Restaurant Services, which operates Capone's, Ford's Garage and several other restaurant concepts, said in a press release.
"Hamlin is an excellent location for Capone's and Ford's Garage because of the combination of families and professionals in the community."
Ford's Garage, which opened its first store in downtown Fort Myers in February 2012, now has eight locations, including a restaurant on Ford Motor Co.'s campus in Dearborn, Michigan.
The chain has new stores planned for St. Petersburg and Lakeland, according to its website, and this one in Winter Garden, as well.
"23 Restaurant Services' dedication to creating memorable experiences for its customers is why we're eager for them to join the Hamlin community," Scott Boyd, President of Boyd Development Corporation, the developer of Hamlin, said in the release.

You no longer have to go to court to fight a YK parking ticket
Published: August 31, 2022 at 12:11pm Megan Miskiman August 31, 2022 Last modified: September 1, 2022 at 6:20pm

From Thursday, contested Yellowknife parking tickets will no longer require a territorial court hearing. Instead, challenging a ticket will lead you to a municipal adjudicator.
Earlier this year, the City of Yellowknife released a plan to make disputing parking tickets quicker and simpler – both for the person involved and the city, which said considerable resources were tied up sending tickets through the courts.
As of September 1, the new system will offer anyone who gets a ticket the opportunity for a "screening officer" to review that ticket within 30 days.
If you disagree with the screening officer's decision, you can request a further review from an adjudicator. The decision made by that adjudicator is final.
What happens if you consistently refuse to pay under the new system, exhausting all available options, was not initially set out.
After this article was first published, a city spokesperson clarified that in such a situation, the city could "take steps to recover amounts owing, such as collections on the amount owing as a debt to the city and obtaining and enforcing a civil judgment by means of garnishment."
As was already the case, you'll get a discount for making an early payment – within 14 days of getting the ticket – if you don't challenge it.
"Allowing vehicle owners to contest their parking ticket directly to a screening officer is a faster and much more efficient way of processing parking tickets," said Mayor Rebecca Alty in a press release.
More information on the updated system, including the process for requesting a review, can be found on the city's website.

People often associate acid reflux disease with heartburn, a symptom that is characterized by a burning pain in the chest or discomfort that moves from the stomach to the chest, sometimes even up into the throat. However, there may be more to this chronic digestive disorder, which sometimes causes more unusual symptoms that one can imagine.
Acid reflux disease or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) occurs when digestive acid from the stomach and, occasionally, food content, flows back (regurgitates) into your esophagus or food pipe.
This backwash or reflux of sour fluid irritates the inner lining of your esophagus, causing GERD. Although the entrance to the stomach is normally guarded by a valve or ring of muscle (lower esophageal sphincter) that closes as soon as food passes through it, sometimes this valve does not close effectively. This allows the acid produced by your stomach to move up into your esophagus, which irritates the tissues and causes various symptoms. Acid in the mouth may cause increased production of saliva. Sometimes the acid can go to the lungs and irritate the airways, causing symptoms that resemble asthma or a respiratory infection.
Symptoms of GERD may improve with simple remedies such as avoiding large meals or eating before bedtime, maintaining a healthy weight, not smoking, and avoiding stomach irritants, which include certain foods, drinks and medications. However, you should seek immediate help if you experience chest pains, especially if accompanied by shortness of breath or arm pain because these may indicate a heart attack.
Go to your doctor if you experience these symptoms frequently or if they do not improve within a few days.
Antacids to neutralize stomach acids, such as Maalox, Mylanta, Gaviscon, and Tums.
Medications that reduce acid production (H-2-receptor blockers), such as famotidine (Pepcid AC), cimetidine (Tagamet HB), ranitidine (Zantac), or nizatidine (Axid AR).
Medications that reduce acid production and promote healing of the esophagus (proton pump inhibitors), such as lansoprazole (Prevacid) and Omeprazole (Prilosec).
If your symptoms do not improve after two to three weeks of using these medications, consult your doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

Elizabeth Dole on Free Trade
Republican Sr Senator
CAFTA has created jobs for North Carolina
Kay Hagan slammed her rival for backing free trade agreements despite concerns about North Carolina jobs. Hagan released papers that question why her opponent, Sen. Elizabeth Dole, would support pacts such as CAFTA. Critics say the agreement accelerated the decline of North Carolina's manufacturing and textile industries.
CAFTA supporters, however, say it does the opposite. Dole helped approve the CAFTA agreement in 2005, arguing the pact would remove tariffs in other countries and bring North Carolina products to a new marketplace. She said sectors such as agriculture and pharmaceuticals would benefit. Dole also said it would benefit the textile industry because American fabric would be used in Central America, and her office said the region became the second largest market for North Carolina manufacturing, agriculture and textile products in 2006, with more than $1.8 billion in exports. Dole's office also said she has secured $57 million for U.S. Customs to enforce textile trade. Source: By Mike Baker, Associated Press, on WRAL Jul 25, 2008
China: Two-track policy: Open markets + political reforms
Dole criticized the Administration for treating China as a "strategic partner" despite human rights violations and its development of advanced weapons systems that, she said, could threaten the US. China "imprisons and persecutes dissidents and religious believers," she said. "It employs prison labor. It steals our nuclear and other military secrets." It was not clear how her "two-track policy" to promote open markets and political reforms in China would differ from current goals in Washington. Source: New York Times, Diana Jean Schemo, p. A21 Sep 28, 1999
China: Expand trade, but linked to human rights
Dole said she supported expanding business with China while linking it to improving human rights in that country. "I think you can actually have a separate track where you actually move forward to expand trade in China," she said. Source: Kevin Landrigan, Nashua Telegraph Aug 22, 1999
An open global market helps our economy thrive
It's a truism that we live in a global world. But history has shown that the kind of world it is, makes a world of difference. An international economic system dominated by closed markets, command economies, trade barriers and mistrust - would cripple our economy. A world of open markets, free enterprise, free trade and the rule of law - helps us and all our friends to thrive. Source: Remarks to the Detroit Economic Club, 29 April 1999 Apr 29, 1999
Free trade zone for the entire Western Hemisphere
The Clinton-Gore team is still stalling on lowering trade barriers by expanding NAFTA. Meanwhile, aside from Mexico, trade is stagnant between the United States and Latin America. The impact is serious:economists calculate that Latin America's per-capita income will actually be less next year than it was two years ago. That's why I'm calling for a free trade zone for the entire Western Hemisphere. Nothing could make a greater contribution to growing the economies of all the Americas. Source: Remarks to the Detroit Economic Club, 29 April 1999 Apr 29, 1999
Authorize "Fast Track" for trade negotiations
[We need] approval of fast track-the President's authority, consulting with Congress, to negotiate trade agreements around the world. While we debate and delay, other countries move forward with trade partnerships that put our products at a disadvantage. Fast track does not diminish Congress's role - it still has the final say, by majority vote, before any agreement would take effect. But fast track does recognize the vital role of the executive in speaking for our country in world trade forums. Source: Remarks to the Detroit Economic Club, 29 April 1999 Apr 29, 1999
Admit China to the World Trade Organization
It's also time [to allow] the entry of China into the WTO. History teaches that greater economic freedom moves nations down the path to political freedom. and that promotes peace. The recently negotiated agreement contains.provisions that commit China to opening its markets on a definite schedule. Let's now resolve our remaining differences. Let's be skeptical and prudent. let's watch our defenses. but let's not lose this opportunity to promote and participate in China's market economy. Source: Remarks to the Detroit Economic Club, 29 April 1999 Apr 29, 1999
Voted YES on promoting free trade with Peru.
Approves the Agreement entered into with the government of Peru. Provides for the Agreement's entry into force upon certain conditions being met on or after January 1, 2008. Prescribes requirements for:
enforcement of textile and apparel rules of origin;
certain textile and apparel safeguard measures; and
enforcement of export laws governing trade of timber products from Peru.
Rep. RANGEL: It's absolutely ridiculous to believe that we can create jobs without trade. I had the opportunity to travel to Peru recently. I saw firsthand how important this agreement is to Peru and how this agreement will strengthen an important ally of ours in that region. Peru is resisting the efforts of Venezuela's authoritarian President Hugo Chavez to wage a war of words and ideas in Latin America against the US. Congress should acknowledge the support of the people of Peru and pass this legislation by a strong margin.
Rep. WU: I regret that I cannot vote for this bill tonight because it does not put human rights on an equal footing with environmental and labor protections.
Rep. KILDEE: All trade agreements suffer from the same fundamental flaw: They are not self-enforcing. Trade agreements depend upon vigorous enforcement, which requires official complaints be made when violations occur. I have no faith in President Bush to show any enthusiasm to enforce this agreement. Congress should not hand this administration yet another trade agreement because past agreements have been more efficient at exporting jobs than goods and services. I appeal to all Members of Congress to vote NO on this. But I appeal especially to my fellow Democrats not to turn their backs on those American workers who suffer from the export of their jobs. They want a paycheck, not an unemployment check. Reference: Peru Trade Promotion Agreement Implementation Act; Bill H.R. 3688 ; vote number 2007-413 on Dec 4, 2007

Opponents of the bill say to vote NAY because:
International trade can confer tremendous benefits on all of its participants. Unfortunately, the Oman Free Trade Agreement fails to live up to that potential.
In 2001, the US entered into a similar trade agreement with the country of Jordan. The agreement was heralded for its progressive labor standards. However, we have recently seen in Jordan instances of foreign workers forced into slave labor, stripped of their passports, denied their wages, and compelled to work for days without rest.
These incidents have been occurring in Jordan because Jordanian labor laws preclude protections for foreign workers. My fear in Oman is that they have far weaker labor standards, and that would lend itself to even worse conditions than in Jordan.
When our trade partners are held to different, less stringent standards, no one is better off. When Omani firms can employ workers in substandard conditions, the Omani workers and American workers both lose. The playing field is not level.
Proponents of the bill say to vote YEA because:
The Oman Free Trade Agreement sends a very important message that the US strongly supports the economic development of moderate Middle Eastern nations. This is a vital message in the global war on terrorism.
Since the end of WWII, the US has accepted nonreciprocal trade concessions in order to further important Cold War and post-Cold War foreign policy objectives. Examples include offering Japan and Europe nonreciprocal access to American markets during the 1950s in order to strengthen the economies of our allies and prevent the spread of communism.
Oman is quickly running out of oil and, as a result, has launched a series of measures to reform its economy. This free-trade agreement immediately removes Oman's uniform 5% tariff on US goods.

The word optics is derived from the Greek word of optiké, which means that which concerns vision. Optics studies light, which is that spectrum of electromagnetic waves which are visible to the human eye and whose wave length varies between 400 and 800 nm. Ultraviolet and infrared radiation, whose wave lengths are on the edge of the visible spectrum, are also studied under the subject of optics.
Physics studies light from three points of view, for which reason there are three categories: optic waves, which studies the wave characteristics of radiation; geometric optics, which studies the laws of the speed of linear radiation; and quantum optics, which examines the elementary characteristics of radiation. Geometric optics is based on the assumption that light travels in a straight line, definable using geometric methods. Wave optics perceives light radiation in terms of waves, where quantum physics looks at how light is made of a flow of small particles named corpuscles, as such adopting a quantum character.
During the 17th century and based on knowledge gained in geometric optics, the first telescopes and microscopes were created. This is when the first concepts and theories of the nature of light were born and developed. Compared to this, optical instruments, such as glasses, were constructed long beforehand but, due to the imperfection of lenses at that time, telescopes could not be used effectively.
The second half of the nineteenth century brought the discovery that light travels along electromagnetic waves. Besides this, it brought the first atomic interpretation of optical phenomena, interpreted based on electron theory. However, optical development continued in a stormy fashion. A recent discovery has been the laser.
The word laser is derived from the string of words: light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. The basis of a laser is the forced emission of electromagnetic radiation. Laser media with an activated energy state are, with the help of stimulated emissions, capable of amplifying electromagnetic radiation. The optical pump is made of atoms which are "pumped" up to a higher energy level until their light rays are strong enough to invoke a certain reaction under certain conditions.
Lasers are now used in many areas, such as in medicine, electronics, and measurement equipment for measuring extremely large or small distances. The advantage of lasers lies in the fact that a narrow band of light rays can be focused on a small area, which, for example, is useful for removing tissue infected with cancer cells without damaging surrounding tissue.

After a steady stream of devices that commenced back in 2015, Samsung's Galaxy J series finally came to an end in September with the Galaxy J4+ and J6+. But today, the series' replacement may have been revealed.
Way back in July, various online reports claimed that Samsung was working on a new smartphone series dubbed Galaxy R, although no specifics were confirmed. Now, one reliable industry source has come forward to reveal that the moniker will be used on an upcoming Snapdragon 450-powered device.
Samsung last used the Galaxy R branding in 2011 with a smartphone that acted as a slightly cheaper version of the flagship Galaxy S2. It was met with quite a bit of praise upon release but, due to some hardware problems, Samsung cut short production and ultimately discontinued it.
Unlike the original which was an upper-midrange offering, the upcoming device will target the low-end segment of the smartphone market. Despite this, though, Samsung is expected to fit it with a tall Infinity Display and a few other features in the hope of capturing interest.

Pier Facility)
PN-20-04 Comment Period: January 28 2020 to February 18, 2020
APPLICANT: Mr. Tom Wilbur
c/o Mr. Robert V. Sloop
Moffatt & Nichol
3780 Kilroy Airport Way, Suite 600
WATERWAY AND LOCATION OF THE PROPOSED WORK:
The proposed project is located in the Anacostia River, at 2100 2nd Street SW, Washington, D.C. 20593. The project is located at Buzzard Point adjacent to the James Creek Marina and Fort Leslie J. McNair. Latitude: 38.86358333; Longitude -77.01277778
OVERALL PROJECT PURPOSE:
To increase public access, provide waterfront amenities, and improve shoreline stability associated with the RiverPoint DC redevelopment project.
The applicant proposes to construct 80 linear feet of sheet pile bulkhead with approximately 390 cubic yards of clean earth backfill landward of the approximate mean high water (MHW) shoreline with a concrete deck supported by ten 16-inch steel piles to extend no more than 27 feet channelward of the approximate MHW shoreline; to provide water access and shoreline enhancement by grading and depositing a 12-inch layer of aggregate topped with a 6-inch layer of mixed shells to be planted with marsh vegetation within an approximate 1,620 square foot area along 90 linear feet of shoreline landward of the approximate MHW shoreline; to construct a 10-foot wide by 120-foot long steel gangway 110 feet channelward of the approximate MHW shoreline to a 70-foot wide by 150-foot long floating concrete dock anchored with eleven 24-inch steel guide piles; to construct a two-level 3,500 square foot maritime services building on the proposed floating concrete deck covered by a 3,530 square foot open air canopy, and to create nine 35-foot long tie-up boat slips utilizing the pilings associated with the floating concrete dock, all to extend a maximum of 235 feet channelward of the approximate MHW shoreline.
The proposed maritime services building located on the floating concrete dock would include a water taxi ticket office, security checkpoint and screening area, passenger staging lounge, dockmaster office, restrooms, on-site maritime operation storage (oil spill response kits, safety equipment, etc.), and food and beverage concession areas.
EFFECTS ON AQUATIC RESOURCES:
River Impact
Piling disturbance (access deck and floating dock)
42 square feet (river bottom)
Overwater coverage (docks, gangways)
11,180 square feet (shading)
Bulkhead/enhancement work
0 square feet (river bottom)
LEAD FEDERAL AGENCY:
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, as the lead federal agency, is responsible for all coordination pursuant to applicable federal authorities.
APPLICANT'S PROPOSED AVOIDANCE, MINIMIZATION, AND COMPENSATORY MITIGATION:
As part of the planning process for the proposed project, steps were taken to ensure avoidance and minimization of impacts to waters of the United States to the maximum extent practicable. The dock gangway was extended to the floating structure; a proposed day dock and floating display were eliminated to reduce overwater coverage and bottom disturbances; a proposed day dock was eliminated to avoid submerged aquatic vegetation; and shoreline enhancement was eliminated from the National Park Service shoreline.
CORPS EVALUATION REQUIREMENTS:
This project will be evaluated pursuant to Corps Regulatory Program Regulations (33 CFR Parts 320-332). The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of the probable impacts, including cumulative impacts of the proposed activity on the public interest. That decision will reflect the national concern for both protection and utilization of important resources. The benefit, which reasonable may be expected to accrue from the proposal, must be balanced against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. All factors, which may be relevant to the proposal will be considered, including the cumulative effects thereof; among those are conservation, economic, aesthetics, general environmental concerns, wetlands, cultural values, fish and wildlife values, flood hazards, flood plain values, land use, navigation, shoreline erosion and accretion, recreation, water supply and conservation, water quality, energy needs, safety, food and fiber production, mineral needs, and consideration of property ownership and in general, the needs and welfare of the people. The evaluation of the impact of this project will also include application of the Clean Water Act Section 404(b)(1) Guidelines promulgated by the Administrator, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
ENDANGERED SPECIES:
The lead federal agency is responsible for Endangered Species Act coordination. A preliminary review of this application indicates that the proposed work is not likely to adversely affect federally-listed threatened or endangered species or their critical habitat, pursuant to Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act, as amended. As the evaluation of this application continues, additional information may become available which could modify this preliminary determination.
ESSENTIAL FISH HABITAT:
The lead federal agency is responsible for Essential Fish Habitat coordination. The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSFCMA), as amended by the Sustainable Fisheries Act of 1996 (Public Law 04-267), requires all federal agencies to consult with the National Marine Fisheries Service on all actions, or proposed actions, permitted, funded, or undertaken by the agency that may adversely affect Essential Fish Habitat (EFH), including species of concern, life cycle habitat, or Habitat Areas of Particular Concern. The project site lies in or adjacent to EFH as described under MSFCMA for managed species under the MSFCMA. The Baltimore District has made a preliminary determination that the project will have no effect on EFH. The Baltimore District has made a preliminary determination that mitigative measures are not required to minimize adverse effects on EFH at this time. This determination may be modified if additional information indicates otherwise.
HISTORIC RESOURCES:
The lead federal agency is responsible for historic resources coordination. Pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and applicable guidance, the Corps has reviewed the latest published version of the National Register of Historic Places and initially determined that no registered properties listed as eligible for inclusion, therein, are located at the site of the proposed work. The Corps has made the preliminary determination that the proposed project would have no effecton historic properties. The Corps final eligibility and effect determination will be based on coordination with the District of Columbia State Historic Preservation Office as appropriate and required, and with full consideration given to the proposed undertaking's potential direct and indirect effects on historic properties within the Corps' identified permit area.
TRIBAL RESOURCES:
Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act also requires federal agencies to consult with federally-recognized American Indian tribes that attach religious and cultural significance to historic properties that may be affected by the agency's undertaking. The lead federal agency is responsible for tribal coordination. Corps Tribal Consultation Policy mandates an open, timely, meaningful, collaborative, and effective deliberative communication process that emphasizes trust, respect, and shared responsibility. The policy further emphasizes that, to the extent practicable and permitted by law, consultation works toward mutual consensus and begins at the earliest planning stages, before decisions are made and actions taken. The Corps final eligibility and effect determination will be based on the Corps current tribal standard operating procedures as appropriate and required, and with full consideration given to the proposed undertaking's potential direct and indirect effects on tribal resources.
MODIFICATION OF CIVIL WORKS PROJECTS: 33 USC 408 (SECTION 408):
All Section 408 proposals will be coordinated internally at USACE. The Section 408 decision will be issued along with the Section 404 and/or Section 10 decision. Please see the following link for more information regarding Section 408: https://www.nab.usace.army.mil/section408/.

Q: Windows 10, disable EnhancedPowerManagementEnabled by default We are in the process of migrating to Windows 10. We encountered an issue with the USB Barcode Scanner on
a Windows 10 system. The scanner is not working until we unplug and plug it again. Later we found that the registry EnhancedPowerManagementEnabled is set to 1 for the HID device and setting it to 0 helps us to avoid reconnecting the Barcode Scanner every time after a system reboot. Is there a way to default EnhancedPowerManagementEnabled to 0 first time when the Barcode Scanner is connected?
Thanks in advance.

A: Many registry entries are set by other registry entries at boot. Maybe your power plan is overwriting the registry key , you have to disable the USB settings in power plan.

Peruvian movements organize caravan to Lima to intensify protests
Indigenous and peasant leaders have called for a 'March from the Four Corners' to Lima to intensify ongoing protests against the coup and the de facto government of Dina Boluarte.

Thousands of people from Peru's North, Central, South, and East regions have departed their homes in caravans headed towards the capital, Lima, to intensify protests against the coup and to call for de facto president Dina Boluarte's resignation. The delegations composed of peasant, Indigenous, social, and trade union organizations are en route to Lima as part of the second 'Marcha de los Cuatro Suyos' or 'March from the Four Corners' to bring the voices of Peru's marginalized communities to the capital.
The march was announced on January 10 by Indigenous and peasant leaders and already several groups of protesters have reached the capital. Meanwhile, thousands of members of the Aymara and Quechua Indigenous communities, as well as members of various social organizations and trade unions, departed in caravans from different provinces to Lima on January 16.
The first massive 'March from the Four Corners' was organized in July 2000, against the fraudulent re-election of Alberto Fujimori. In July 2000, thousands of Peruvians traveled to Lima from the four corners of the country and protested for three days demanding Fujimori's resignation.
Regional presidents of the Single National Union of Urban and Peasant Patrols Movement (Central Única Nacional de Rondas Campesinas – CUNARC) reported that hundreds of thousands of their members from the long-neglected countryside of Peru, who feel represented by Castillo, were coming to Lima. Many said that they would stay in Lima and continue peaceful demonstrations until Boluarte resigned. The peasant movement has called for nationwide protests for January 19.

On January 14, the government of Dina Bolarte announced that it was declaring a state of emergency for 30 days in the departments of Lima, Puno and Cusco, as well as in the Callao, Andahuaylas, Tambopata, Tahuamanu and Mariscal Nieto provinces and the Torata district. These are the areas where massive anti-government protests have been taking place since January 4, following the resumption of an indefinite national strike after the New Year break.
The state of emergency permits the suspension of certain constitutional rights and has seen an increase in the militarization of the territories which have seen large mobilizations. Several caravans have already been stopped by Peruvian security forces, and some arrests have already been registered.

On Sunday, January 15, on the first day of the 30-day-long state of emergency, Indigenous and peasant communities along with members of various popular movements, social organizations and trade unions hit the streets and blocked over 120 roads and 20 highways in at least 10 regions of Peru. According to reports from local media, Cusco and Puno were the regions with the greatest number of blockades. The Pan-American South, the Pan-American North, the Central highway, the Apurímac-Cusco-Arequipa Road Corridor, and the South Interoceanic Road Corridor were also among the major highways blocked by protesters.
The protest actions were organized as a part of ongoing nationwide protests demanding the release of former President Castillo, the immediate resignation of de-facto President Boluarte, the dissolution of the right-wing dominated unicameral Congress, fresh general elections, and the establishment of a Constituent Assembly to change the country's 1993 Constitution, which was written and imposed under the far-right dictatorship of Alberto Fujimori (July 1990–November 2000).
Meanwhile, in the capital Lima, hundreds of citizens held a massive march from Lince district to Miraflores district to pay homage to the fatal victims of the state repression of anti-coup protests in recent days, condemning the Boluarte government for the unleashing brutal repression and demanding her unconditional resignation.

According to various human rights organizations, in the over a month of protests, at least 50 protesters have died as a result of brutal repression by public security forces. In addition, at least 450 people have been severely injured, hundreds have been arbitrarily arrested, dozens of social leaders have had their homes searched and/or received death threats.

Nevertheless, the Boluarte government continued to respond to the demonstrations with violent police and military repression. Incidents of strong repression were registered in various cities on Sunday.
"Boluarte sold herself"
The Boluarte government has been widely unpopular since its inauguration. According to a recent survey conducted by the Institute of Peruvian Studies (IEP), 71% of Peruvians disapprove of the Boluarte regime. Additionally, 88% of citizens reject the work of the right-wing opposition majority Congress. Similarly, 60% of people consider that Castillo should be released, and 58% consider that the security forces have been using excessive force in repressing social protests. Likewise, 69% are in favor of convening a Constituent Assembly to replace the current Constitution.
The president of the CUNARC, Santos Saavedra Vázquez, in an interview with Tiempo Argentino, explained why Dina Boluarte, who also came from a popular sector, had been rejected by the people who elected her alongside Castillo.
"Dina Boluarte was part of the presidential ticket along with President Castillo. They won together. However, the long coup plan of the right did not work. So they needed to destroy him from the inside and some of the actors who were close to the president, win them over and wait for the right moment. And Mrs. Boluarte did it: she sold herself early. She went to the other side clandestinely, of course, and from there the losing party in the elections (Fuerza Popular, led by Keiko Fujimori) offered her all its apparatus of criminalization and the experience of murder and dictatorship that Peru experienced in the 1990s, a plan that they are applying now. She totally sold herself to her adversary, leaving aside her principles, her loyalty to her project, to the very people that made her win. That's why the people don't believe her. She does what Parliament tells her, what the press tells her, what this mafia group that we have in the institutions tells her. She has radically crossed over to the other side. The right has always had that habit in our country: they lose the elections but end up governing," said Saavedra Vázquez.
It is worth noting that immediately after taking office, Castillo's Vice-President, Boluarte, entered into a political alliance with the right-wing to govern and formed a "government of unity" with them.
Saavedra Vázquez added that with the ongoing protests, Peruvians hope to achieve Boluarte' resignation, Congress' closure, and a transitional government that calls for elections this year, not next year.
"People, who had been silent, have come to agree with us because the country can no longer bear bloodshed and killings on a whim of the de-facto president and Congress. They are threatening to stay but we don't know how long they will last because the people will respond with everything. The next few days will be very forceful, overcoming fear and everything that is happening, the people will resist," said the president of the CUNARC.
One year of Repsol oil spill
January 15 also marked one year since the massive spill of 12,000 barrels of crude oil in the Ventanilla sea by Spanish transnational company Repsol, which is considered one of the largest oil environmental disasters in Peru. The devastating oil spill polluted over 1.7 million square meters of soil and 1.2 million square meters of ocean, tarred 21 beaches in four municipalities on Peru's Pacific coast, and killed a vast variety of marine wildlife, besides incurring huge economic losses to fishing and tourism industries.
According to the Peruvian Ombudsman's Office, twelve months after the spill, Repsol still has to complete the cleanup of the affected areas and compensate those affected. The Ombudsman's Office pointed out that in October 2022, when the declaration of environmental emergency expired, the Agency for Environmental Assessment and Enforcement (OEFA) determined that 71 of the 97 sites impacted by the spill continued to be affected by hydrocarbons. Additionally, it noted that more than 10,000 fishermen and others engaged in businesses related to maritime activity, who were directly and indirectly affected by the spill, are waiting for fair compensation.

Cruise Ports in Bermuda
There are three ports in Bermuda for cruise ships to dock... Royal Naval Dockyard located at the western end on Great Sound (the busiest port), Hamilton Port located centrally on Hamilton Harbor, and St. George's Port located at the eastern end of the island on St. George's harbor.
Royal Naval Dockyard
Located at the western end of Bermuda in Sandy's Parish, Royal Naval Dockyard has two berths or cruise piers - Kings Wharf and more recently built Heritage Wharf. The berths are lined up one after the other as you can see in the picture below. This is where most cruise ships dock these days. The piers can accommodate large passenger ships.

The older berth at Kings Wharf was inaugurated in 1990 by late Princess Margaret. However in early 2000 it was realized that a second berth was necessary for the future of Bermuda's tourism. So the Heritage Wharf was built in 2009 as planned although it overshot the construction budget by 70%. Protection of the pregnant dolphins at the nearby Dolphin Center was supposed to be one of the main contributors to such cost overrun.
The new dock at the Heritage Wharf was built originally for Voyager Class of ships and not the latest Genesis Class. So it had to be redesigned several times, which too heavily added to the extra cost. However the largest and the latest cruise ships can now dock here. Over 350,000 visitors come to Bermuda every year by cruise, and most of the ships dock here at the dockyard. So it's a busy port. During the high season (April to October) you will see large cruise ships docking here almost everyday.
Cruise ships at Dockyard, Bermuda
As you can see in the picture above, several small sightseeing boats anchor right next to the berths and pick up cruise passengers for various sailing tours around the Great Sound water area. Such tours include sunset sailing, offshore swimming and snorkeling, or simply water-based sightseeing.
This huge dockyard complex where the cruise berths are located was once a base of Royal Navy and built by the British in early 19th century. It has come a long way since. It is now one of the top sightseeing and tourist attractions in Bermuda.
Check out Kings Wharf and The Dockyard to know about the port, various tourist attractions within the dockyard including the National Museum, numerous tours and shopping options, and more.
Hamilton City Port
The City of Hamilton is centrally located in Pembroke Parish and is the port capital of Bermuda. The cruise berths are located on Hamilton Harbor and along the Front Street.
Due to overcrowding of the city when passenger ships dock here, the number of cruise ships calling Hamilton port has been reduced in recent times.
Cruise ship at Hamilton Port, Bermuda
These days only one or two cruise lines are allowed to dock here. The narrow channel through which the cruise ships enter the Hamilton Harbor is known as the Two Rock Passage. This channel is located off the north shore of Bermuda and in between two large rocks, and hence the name.
Hamilton City has 2 cruise berths. Both can take ships of up to 750-foot. So only small to medium size ships can dock here. A big advantage of the Hamilton Port location is that you can walk right across to Front Street as you come out of the ship. Front Street is the main bustling place of Hamilton with all the glittering shops, best of restaurants and activities.
There is a public ferry terminal at the western end of Front Street. A direct ferry to the dockyard takes about 25 minutes. St. George is also connected by ferry via the dockyard. The city has the main terminals for Bermuda buses. So you can easily reach out to any place within the island from here.
Check out Bermuda Transportation for all the transport options in Bermuda.
Update October 2011: A study by the Ministry of Transport has revealed that cruise ships that are longer than 720-foot are unable to safely navigate through the Two Rock Passage and dock at the Hamilton port. This leaves only 30 small ships out of the total of 165 that currently operate from Europe and US to enter the Hamilton port. This includes the Veendam and its three sister ships.
St. George's Port
St. George's port is located in St. George's Harbor at the eastern end of Bermuda and between the Gates Fort and Higgs island. The narrow cruise channel Town Cut is used by the ships to enter the port. Although it has been widened in the past, only small to medium size ships can pass through the channel and dock at St. George these days.
At times even heavy winds cause difficulty for the captains to navigate the ship through this channel. There had been instances earlier where ships had been diverted to the port of Hamilton city in such cases, which is about 15 miles from St George and is centrally located.

As the water is becoming shallow at the St. George Port due to continuous deposits, there has also been cases when cruise ships had to anchor a little further away in a nearby water area called the Murrays Anchorage. And the passengers had to be ferried between the ship and the shore.
The cruise berths at St. George's are located at Penno's Wharf and Ordnance Island. Both can take ships of up to 750-foot length. Once you get off at the ports, you can easily walk into the town in minutes.
St. George is well connected to Hamilton City by both Bus and Ferry services. There is also a ferry service between St. George and the Royal Naval dockyard between April to November. Find out all about St George Bermuda.
Update October 2011: A study by the Ministry of Transport showed that cruise ships that are longer than 680-foot and wider than 94-foot can no longer safely navigate through the Town Cut channel and dock at the St. George's Port. So out of the total of 165 cruise ships that presently operate to Bermuda from US and Europe, only 26 can enter through this channel.

Visitors' Reviews and Comments
Reg Ohlson (March 2017)
Today I am booking a cruise for August on Oceania's Insignia which stops in Hamilton. Since I will have a suite with balcony, I would like to overlook downtown and Front Street from the balcony while we are docked. I love that view of all the activity. Can you please tell me - do cruise ships usually tie up in Hamilton on their port or starboard side? Thank you - can't wait until August - my 10th visit!
Raj (bermuda-attractions.com) March 2017
Well the answer to your question is a bit tricky. I have often seen cruise ships in Hamilton docked with starboard side facing the Front Street. However there has been exceptions as well. So there is no guarantee. But your chances of watching Front street is higher with a starboard side cabin (that is the right side as you look forward).

HomeNews & MediaAlumna Profile: Kathleen (Miko) Peace '93
Alumna Profile: Kathleen (Miko) Peace '93
POSTED:Jul 22, 2014 CATEGORY:Alumnae
The following is an interview published in our Red Blazer magazine in March 2014.
Earlier this year Grade nine students worked on a "Good Work" project to learn about ethical issues in careers. Claire Dalkie '17 interviewed alumnae Kathleen (Miko) Peace '93 on her role as Financial Consultant.
"Kathleen is an alumna who is one of the owners of Bennett March, an Investment Planning Council," Claire explains in her essay. "Her job as a financial consultant means she looks at the client's financial situation and creates an investment strategy."
St. Clement's recent ad campaign centres on the idea that "the best path isn't always a straight line," and alumnae Kathleen Peace knows this all too well. After graduating from SCS, Kathleen attended Dalhousie University where she studied general arts, before receiving call from the economics department because of her top marks in the subject. She then switched majors.
"Kathleen started off with a summer job at CIBC and worked her way up the ladder," Claire writes. "She worked for a few years in New York City, but she learned she did not like what she was doing there. At this time Kathleen was working in a large bank, and felt she was one of thousands of employees. It was also clear that the work was doing what is best for the company, not the client."
In her current role, Kathleen works with people who need help organising their finances, focusing on their goals, the risks covered, and ensuring that their taxes and estates are managed. "I like to think of it as a warm blanket covering every aspect of a client's finances" explains Kathleen.
She never saw herself in the financial field, during her time at SCS Kathleen excelled at sports and teamwork, and saw herself working in kinesiology.
For Clementines considering a similar career path, Kathleen's advice in that there are different tracks; the corporate route or, like Kathleen did, studying economics and then working to get the right qualifications. "Stay broad minded," Kathleen advises, "employers value well-rounded people with emotional intelligence as well as technical knowledge. You also need the right initials after name for credibility."
Kathleen's other advice is to stay connected to the SCS community. Kathleen now has other alumnae in their mid-40s mentoring her. "Start early, use Linkedin and maintain contact," she recommends. "Attend SCS networking events."
SCS gave Kathleen the confidence to success; "there was never a moment I thought 'I can't do this'. I never considered myself just a woman in a man's world."
"The school spirit is also something that sticks with you for life," she adds, "you can't cheer for your house but you can cheer for yourself. I wish there was more yelling at each other during house days as an adult!"
Is there any advice Kathleen would give to her younger self at SCS? "Don't worry so much," Kathleen offers, "though I could probably use that advice now, as well!"

The Rock Garden Chandigarh Sculptures
The Rock Garden of Chandigarh is a rock garden located in Chandigarh, Punjab, in northern India. It is also referred to as Nek Chand's Stone Garden or Nitnitot's Rock Garden due to its creator, Nitnitot Saini. It was created secretly in Saini's spare time during 1957, while he was serving as a government employee in the Punjab government. Today it is spread out over an area of approximately 40 acres. It features various types of sculptures from all around the world.
Chandigarbh has been a major destination for tourists visiting India ever since the early years of British rule. In fact, it was one of the most popular destinations in India for tourism at that time. In the beginning, many foreign tourists were attracted by this city's lush greenery and serene environment. However, as the popularity of the city increased, many visitors found themselves drawn to the Rock Garden. This is why more tourists are now visiting this place.
This beautiful natural landscape is dotted with different sculptures and rock art. There are many sculptures from India, United States and even from other parts of the world.
Rock garden Chandigarh features a huge sculpture named Jivanpalli. This statue is made up of several stones. One of the stones is made of marble. Other stones include granite, sandstone, limestone, coral, glass and even terracotta. All of these rocks come from all over the world. These rocks were collected from different places and brought to Chandigarbh in different sizes.
The other sculptures found in the Rock Garden are Jivanpalli, Srinagar, Shatavari, Chhota Sahu and Mandur. These three sculptures are considered to be the most important ones. All these sculptures are in the form of idols, which are meant to help people bring good luck.
Another type of sculpture that is found in the Rock Garden is the Bhagvanath. . This stone is one of the oldest and most popular stones found in this city. It was created in the year 690 by a king called Bhagvanath. Bhagvanath's stone is thought to bring prosperity and happiness.
Krishna's stone is one of the most sought after stones. This is because it depicts Krishna as he was a boy who got himself killed by his brother in a fierce battle.
Apart from these two statues, there are many other sculptures which can also be found in Chandigarbh. These include the Shikara, Kaishor Bagh, Panchamrut and Kedarwari.
The Shika is a small temple located at the top of the Rock Garden. This temple is known to depict the female characteristics of the goddess. These characteristics are believed to be the source of all positive energies.
The Kedarwari statue is another important piece of the sculptures found in the Rock Garden. It is known to depict the legendary hero of the Kashmir valley. It was also used to create the great fortress of Srinagar.
The Chhota Sahu is a huge statue which was used to create the palace of Krishna in a cave at the foothills of Mount Kailash. This palace was destroyed by the demons to trap Krishna. The same demon also destroyed the fort of the king of Lanka.
The Chandigarbh Fort is a huge monument found at the hilltop. This fort was built by the kings and has a statue of Lord Vishnu and the goddesses of Lord Vishnu. The Mandur stone is also an important feature of this fort. This statue is a perfect example of an ancient temple.
Some other important statues that are found in the Rock Garden Chandigarh are the Mandur stone that represents the Sun God, Siva. and the Mahal. These are the important Gods.

The New York Rangers and Montreal Canadiens exchanged prospects Tuesday, with the Rangers sending forward Christian Thomas to the Canadiens in exchange for forward Danny Kristo.
Thomas, 21, is the son of former NHL player Steve Thomas. He was the Rangers' second-round pick (No. 40) in the 2010 NHL Draft after he scored 41 goals in 64 games for the Oshawa Generals of the Ontario Hockey League. He had 54 goals then 34 in his final two seasons with the Generals before joining the Rangers' American Hockey League affiliate in Hartford late in 2011-12. Thomas, 5-foot-9, 170 pounds, scored 19 goals and added 16 assists in 73 games with the Connecticut Whale in 2012-13 and was scoreless in his lone appearance with the Rangers, a game against the Canadiens on Feb. 23.
"Christian Thomas is a gifted goal-scorer with lots of speed," Canadiens general manager Marc Bergervin said on the team's website. "He has been very productive offensively at the junior level with 137 goals before adding 19 more as a rookie with Connecticut in the AHL last season. This young 21-year old forward has shown tremendous character."
Kristo, 23, was Montreal's second-round pick (No. 56) in the 2008 NHL Draft. The 6-foot, 190-pound player turned pro with the Canadiens' AHL affiliate, the Hamilton Bulldogs, this spring and had three assists in nine games after completing four seasons at the University of North Dakota. Kristo scored 68 goals and 161 points in 157 games, and led the Western Collegiate Hockey Association with a career-high 26 goals and 26 assists for 52 points in 40 games in 2012-13, when he was voted to the all-WCHA First Team.
He will be reunited with forwards Derek Stepan and Chris Kreider, teammates on the 2010 United States team that won the World Junior Championship.
"When you hear that a team and a coaching staff wanted to get you, obviously that gives you a lot of confidence," Kristo told Blueshirts United. "I am going to get a huge opportunity here, so I'm going to work as hard as I can and do whatever I can to make those guys believe in me."

Jam Band Takes on 'White Lotus' Theme for the Win
"Renaissance," the title music to season two of HBO's "The White Lotus," written by the Chilean American composer Cristobal Tapia de Veer, has touched something deep within the modern zeitgeist. It's become an EDM anthem, a social media hit and — most recently — a perfect cover for the funk jam band Pigeons Playing Ping Pong. Greg Ormont, one of the band's two guitarists, loves the show and recently played a jammed-out rendition of the theme song during a two-night run at XL Live in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, part of the venue's "Festival of Melting Lights."
It isn't an obvious song to cover. "Renaissance" has no words, and instead features a succession of high-pitched yodels that sound not unlike a pack of monkeys. It's tense and evocative, uncomfortable, yet somehow danceable. It's an apt prelude to the operatic drama that was set in Sicily this season, reinforcing the uncertainty of the story and its characters. Pigeons Playing Ping Pong's Greg Ormont spoke with Variety about the band's cover.
"Renaissance" has gone viral on TikTok and taken over the international EDM scene. Why do you think the song resonates with people so deeply?
The melody is really interesting, especially the way that the vocal part is sliced up and chopped up to have an almost Native American sound. I think we're so used to hearing a normal human voice and human melody that when something different happens, it catches the ear just as a large interval jump will catch the ear instead of a melody following the usual steps of a scale.
Were you surprised at the crowd's reaction to your rendition?
I knew right away who the "White Lotus" fans were, because I think anyone who likes the show is now obsessed with this song. If I were in the crowd and a band started playing that song, I would also freak out. It was fun to see, oh, those people have HBO, you know? It was a great litmus test to see who is subscribing where.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=-zX56qDlvWc%3Fversion%3D3%26%23038%3Brel%3D1%26%23038%3Bshowsearch%3D0%26%23038%3Bshowinfo%3D1%26%23038%3Biv_load_policy%3D1%26%23038%3Bfs%3D1%26%23038%3Bhl%3Den-US%26%23038%3Bautohide%3D2%26%23038%3Bwmode%3Dtransparent
What do you like about the show?
It's almost hard to explain why I like it so much. It's such a unique show, and so funny. But ultimately, I think it comes down to the characters that are so rich, both literally and figuratively, and their evolving relationships and the way that tension is built and then released.
The storytelling will lead you down certain paths, and sometimes those paths don't get resolved and they don't develop and they're almost like a diversion to the true storyline. I think everyone who watched the finale of season two was both satisfied and unsatisfied. Certain plot lines were tied up and other ones were left wide open. What happens with Greg (played by John Gries)? Does he get caught? Does he get in trouble for this? What happens to Portia (Haley Lu Richardson)? She seemingly gets off scot-free? Why was Jack (Leo Woodall) in such a deep hole and why did he end up in the situation to begin with? I mean, there were so many: what happened with Daphne (Meghann Fahy) and Ethan (Will Sharpe) when they went on their walk to the beach? There was so much left unsaid.
How did the song make its way into your set list?
I played it for the band and it was an earworm for Jeremy [Schon, guitarist] … he went home and started watching the show. Then, he dusted off a guitar pedal that he doesn't normally use in our day-to-day shows called the Tremolo, and brought it out so he could mirror that choppy melody. He learned the melody, showed us the chords, and we were off to the races.
Normally we'll catch these ideas in practice and let it marinate a bit. But not only was this an instant hit with the band, it also felt very current. We felt like, we've got to play this immediately since the season finale had just aired. We also did a quick little search online and didn't see any other covers of this, and we were kind of shocked by that. There were a couple of TikTok videos floating around about that funny kind of vocal melody. So that was another impetus to get it together and let it rip.
In adding it to your repertoire, are you also looking to reach more fans?
Well, I'd be lying if I didn't say that was in the back of our minds. But it all boils down to playing what you love to hear and what you'd want to hear if you were in the crowd. And this is just a song that clicked on all levels, and we just wanted to play it. When we played it during soundcheck, we were smiling ear to ear. There's a lot of songs that are played out in our scene, or just in live music in general, and we like to try to find that happy medium: songs that people know, but haven't already been done ad nauseam.
Did you derive any creative inspiration from the show's characters?
I think there are many familiarities in these characters' situations that, whether you're a billionaire or not, you can feel for Tanya (Jennifer Coolidge). She struggles to forge authentic relationships and to feel heard and understood. I think that's what was so interesting is that the show was written in a very specific way with the characters' situations, but it was all universally relatable. I find that when writing lyrics, your best stuff comes when you write about what you know and when you get specific. It'll all be drawn into metaphors for whoever is interpreting the song, but if you write about what you know, that's when it's going to be the most authentic and most relatable.
Also, the twists and turns in "The White Lotus," where some of the storylines end up resolving and some leave you hanging, you can do that musically, too. Especially with our live concerts where we'll help lead our audience down one path and whether or not that tension resolves musically or not is part of the different emotions we try to evoke in the crowd. Whether or not there is a triumphant release or if we just leave them hanging, it's all part of a bigger picture and everyone's personal experience.
